The DJ in the middle Was Jesus Is that right I'll be honest I didn't watch a single bit Of the opening ceremony I haven't seen any of the Olympics You haven't seen any Olympics? Have you seen any?

I watched, yeah. Was it Saturday night? We went out for dinner. I got home and I just sat in and like scrolled through the channels to see what was on. And there was some men's hockey and some rowing.

Yep. But I turned the rowing on. It was like, oh, this is the longest one. And I was just like, I'll come back. It's too long. It's just a lot of paddling. Don't get me wrong. I couldn't do it, but I just don't find it thrilling to is the longest one. And I was just like, I'll come back. It's too long. It's just a lot of paddling. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't do it, but I just don't find it thrilling to watch the longest.

I'm more of a sprints guy. Right. I'll watch the sprints. I've seen a lot of the memes, but that's my extent of Olympic knowledge to date. But Shannon, all over it at the social media desk, and this morning we will go to her for the highlights. So far from the opening ceremony and the Olympics. media desk. And this morning we will go to her for the highlights so far

from the opening ceremony and the Olympics. I did see a flyover of Paris making me realise, A, I've never been to Paris, but B, I wasn't sure. I didn't know that the Eiffel Tower was so close to the river. Where did you think it would be? It's right next to it. You just never see the river and the Eiffel Tower

in the same shot, in my experience. Yeah, that's true. You don't. You don't. You always see the park. Exactly, the park in front of the Eiffel Tower. Top six on the way. Champagne sales are down. Goodness me. Yeah. Well, we're not cheery. It hasn't been a cheery year, has it? And champagne's the expensive version of Prosecco, and you'll always just go for a $16 bottle of Raffina. Exactly. $18. $18 now. Yeah, that's the base price of $16 bottle of Rufino. 18. 18 now. Yeah, that's the base price of 18 now.

Inflation. Inflation's got it. Yeah. My favourite drop. I've got the top six ways to bring back a bit of cheer. Oh, that's nice. They're always saying that about me. They're always saying he's a cheery chap.

Right. Next on the show, there is a new trend that is sweeping workplaces, something that, Vaughan, that you and I have done, I'd say our entire career. People are finally catching on to this. I can't believe this has only just got a name. Work smarter, not harder. And sometimes not at all.

We'll delve into this workplace trend next. Well, the ongoing battle between employees and employers working from home, working in the office. There is a new trend. It's called coffee badging. I thought you were just describing the ongoing battle between the employer and the employee. The employer wants more out of the employee

than possible. They want them to perform well beyond their worth, whereas the employee wants more money for less work. It's a battle of time itself. It is. But there is a new trend. It's called coffee badging.

And this is where people that have been used to working from home and resent coming into work are having to come into work and they'll show face and then just go get a coffee. Immediately leave again. Yeah, and then just go get a coffee. Immediately leave again. Yeah, and then immediately leave again. Right. So they've kind of, they show face.

Maybe put in 10 minutes. Yeah, so the manager's like, oh, yep. They're here. They're here. Yeah. And then they'll, you know, stay enough for a cup of coffee.

Yep. And then they'll just go. Coffee badging. Right. And then out again. Yeah. I like it. I like it. Are they still getting their work done? Well, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. But they'd want them in the office. Yeah. Well, they got them for 10 minutes before they'll head out again. For 10 minutes. Yeah. Which I mean, they're getting their job done. Calm down. Yeah. We

famously always, when we did afternoons, always started with a lunch break and then a coffee break straight after lunch because you must follow lunch with a coffee. Yeah. And, you know, we got the work done, didn't we? We got the work done. A little bit of pud. Yeah. And then sometimes even another coffee before we started.

Yeah. In that three-hour pre-show window. Yeah. And then another one later on and then not be able to sleep and then wonder why. Yeah. Backload. You call that backloading their day. Yeah.

Backloading their day with coffees. Whereas now you front load the day with coffees and you're an absolute shadow of a man by five o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah. That's my plan. Right, so they come in, they check in, they're seen. It's a great way also if you're going to leave a staff meeting, you get there and you make a scene.

Oh, yeah. He was there. We all remember it. Sneak out the back door. Say hi to the CEO. He's like, saw them. They were there. And then they don't notice when you sneak away. It's cool playing the game, kids. Play the game.

The top six is next on the show. Champagne sales are down because apparently there's a lack of cheer around the world. I wouldn't know why. It's been a great year. Goodness me.

An industry executive cites lack of cheer around the world. 15% down compared to this time last year. You're right, though. It is the one that you can't, you just go for it. You can go for a cheaper bottle. Yeah, you can just go for a bubbly. But also maybe people just aren't celebrating much. Maybe they're right.

We don't have much to celebrate. Yeah. Shipments in the first half of the year reached 106.7 million bottles. That's champagne, so that's coming from the Champagne region of France. Yeah. Wow. That's pretty insane, right? That's a lot.

That's a lot of bottles. And if that's down 15%, that means there was, you know, close to 120 million bottles last year. Wow. Overstocking by retailers in 2021 and 2022, so they haven't got rid of their stock, so they're not ordering as much in. And also, it might sort itself out as the mildew and fungal infections

and wet and frosty weather, 2024 has had plenty of in the region. Right. So maybe it'll sort itself out in the long run. But the lack of cheer is something that's sad. So I've got the top six cheerful quotes that'll bring back the cheer. Boost champagne sales will spiral you into a dark place

about the pirate game because something atrocious happened online. You guys aren't going to believe this. Online isn't a safe space. You guys aren't going to believe this.

Wow. We'll talk about this soon. My wife saw me playing at the weekend and described as childlike and it's graphics. Yep. But she said,

why does the water look so real? Oh. She was annoyed that the boats are kind of comical. Yeah. But the water is

beautifully realistic. Did they spend all their money on the water? I mean, they have put all of their, what runs the computer? RAM? Gigabytes.

Gigabytes. They put all their gigabytes into the water looking realistic. Yeah. And so they didn't have enough for the boats. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six cheerful quotes that'll bring back the cheer or spiral you to a dark place. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I'm possible.

Just keep swimming. Okay. Fuckaphorical swimming. Just keep swimming. Okay. Fuck that champagne. Selling itself now. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I wouldn't call it an extension. I wouldn't call it a home alteration.

What would you call it? An addition. An addition. Of sorts. Right. This is a trend that seems to be taking off. More popular around the world, the catio. This is you might turn your patio into a catio.

A conservatory would be great for a catio. Hot. So it's like a patio, but for cats. Okay. It's an enclosed space. This one that is on the New Zealand Herald website that is up north. Leanne and Andy built this for their two British blue short hair cats. Oh, like my cat.

Yeah. Titan and Oliver. They've got a 21 square metre standalone enclosure. 21 square metres? Yeah. That's huge. It's like the size of Shannon's apartment. How big is your apartment, Shannon?

I don't know, but the bedroom's the length of a single bed and the width of me standing next to a single bed. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. So it's small. Probably bigger than me. Technically, it might be a catio.

These two cats have got the same size bedroom as you. Well, no, no. They've all got access to the entire house as well. Oh, yeah. This is just for when they want to get some fresh air because it's got mesh walls. Right. So the air flows through it, but they can't get out.

Right. So that's the idea. They can't go out and eat native birds. Two reasons. Leanne had a cat that she'd raised from a kitten and a stray dog came onto their property one night and mauled it. And she said, I couldn't stand that heartache again. And fair enough so.

But also, she said they live just out of Whangarei on a lifestyle block. There's a lot of bush around. There's a road. Beautiful birds. I know for the birds. Yeah. And, you know, Predator New Zealand have come out

and said, yeah, birds are like, cats are like the number one predator. Right. Of our beautiful native birds. Above and beyond rats and possums and such. So, yeah, having them in close. She said they don't just live in there and inside, though. They've got harnesses and they go for walks around the property.

Wow, okay. And there is a very cute photo of a cat in some sort of sleek harness. This is what Major Murray Flappington needs. Mars needs one of these. I should have started when he was a kitten because I have tried to put costumes on him and he hates it. He doesn't like it. He doesn't like it.

No, it's not for everybody. It's not for everybody. It's not for everybody. It's not. Costume parties aren't for everybody. And then your cat also isn't going to get run over either. No, that's another one. That's true.

But then you look like a crazy cat lady with a catio and a, you know, it's not very, What? I think it's, it looks fun.

They keep it clean. Interior design though, it's not very minimalist and chic though, is it? Oh, no't they They keep it clean Interior design though It's not very minimalist And chic though No no no It's not Because it's got everything in there It's got like Climbing towers

And like tunnels Scratch poles Tunnels Bridges Slides Yep Although I've never seen a cat Actually go down a slide

Like a child Would go down a slide It seems more like a And there's like catnip in there And Oh it sounds like Absolute heaven for the cats. Yeah.

Catcher pad, they should call it. The catcher pad. That's just what my apartment is for my cat. Yeah, you and the cat. He's slowly clawing and chewing his way through a couch. Yeah. Well, he's not allowed outside until he's finished his couch. That's the rule.

No putting until you've finished your couch. There's like one spot of the couch You can see the wood frame It's getting pretty bad I need a new couch But then if I get a new couch He's just going to start eating that again I don't know

When I do get a new couch I'm going to sprinkle mandarin juice over it Because he hates Apparently cats hate citrus You can get a citrus spray Because every time I eat a mandarin and he it. Because he hates, apparently cats hate citrus. You can get a citrus spray. Because every time I eat a mandarin and he's near me, he runs away.

Really? He smells it. He's like, he doesn't want a bar of it. I've thrown a lemon at our cat before. Our lemon? Yeah. Did you open it?

I assume it's just the citrus that it didn't like about that. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Or just the hard object being thrown at it. Oh, wow, the jury's out. Play. ZM's Fletch Vordernaley.

Play ZM. Now, for the last week or 10 days, producer Jared and I have been playing a new game on PlayStation. Yeah. Sea of Thieves. Sea of Thieves came out on Xbox and game and computers and Steam a while back, but it's made its way to PS5. And we're fully engaged in the pirate lifestyle.

Now, some have said the graphics aren't... My wife has said the graphics are childlike and everything but the water. She's very impressed at how realistic the water looks in a range of scenarios. Flat, stormy, choppy, like just insanely massive waves but then the rest of the graphics terrible

not great so the idea is that you and Jared and your friends you all crew the pirate ship correct at different parts of the ship right well yeah

and you switch around you've got to trim the sails you've got to really Dean Barker it and see which way the wind's going and then turn the sails to catch it yep coming in to where you want to port you want to pull the sails up a little bit so you've still got a bit of motion, but you're not going full speed.

Yeah, right. Drop the anchor. Harpoons, cannons. You're harpooning stuff. You can harpoon stuff. This is fantastic. It's a great game. We've had a lot of fun.

Okay. Jared has played a lot more than I do. Okay. He's got less children. Yeah. That's the equation there. He's got zero children. He's got zero children. You just have so much more time with less children. Yeah. That's the equation there. He's got zero children. Zero children.

You just have so much more time with zero children. And he's been streaming some of the games on Twitch, if you're on Twitch. He has been. And, well, he sent me a clip. He actually messaged on Saturday night when I was out for dinner saying he'd just experienced homophobia on the high seas.

Yeah. Goodness me, Jared. Because what is our guild called? The Shanty Brothers. The Shanty Brothers. The Shanty Brothers. Were you aboard the Taxman? I was aboard the Taxman. That's one of our boats is called the Taxman.

Is it because you take tax from other ships? Yeah. It's like a dad tax. You plunder their gold. Yeah, we're tax men. At the top of your pirate ship, you can climb the mast. So you can see the dangers further afield. Yeah. I always hoist the rainbow flag.

Okay. Because you're an ally. That's one of the flags that's in our flag box. You can have the traditional, you know, skull and crossbones. Right. And have one that's got the money bag, which we've used before because we're the tax man. Yeah. But there's a rainbow flag.

And I'm like, what a great way to show we're allies on the sea. Yeah. Is it the updated rainbow flag? It doesn't have the triangle in the middle. With like four other million things on it? No, it's just pure rainbow flag. Okay. So I hoisted the rainbow flag earlier in the day aboard the Taxman. Yeah. But I was not with Jared when he was on this

mission. We cross now to Jared. Yes, I just... A straight man. A straight man. A straight pirate. I'd been playing, I'd been streaming for six hours. I decided to cut the stream, have a nice little break to myself and carry on playing CSE. Six hours streaming on Twitch. Who was watching?

Ten people. It hardly seems worth it, does it? It's not, but it's fun. But it's fun. Okay. So I was solo adventuring, looking for buried treasure on an island and in the distance I hear cannon fire. Target targeting my ship.

I run around the corner, I see my ship going down. I yell out to the gang, hey guys, yeah, good job sinking my ship. I think there was a chest in the back room, you probably grabbed that already, blah, blah, blah. I was just trying to be nice. And then this Aussie voice, Aussie. Aussie voice. Never fly that flag here again. Oh!

Homophobia on the high seas. Homophobia on the high seas. And then for the next hour, they hunted me across the server, sailing wherever I sailed, and just kept on sinking me. How old was the voice? Was it like a... No, like adult voice. Oh, my God. See, I thought it was going to be like teenagers.

No, no, no. It sounds like a full grown man. Yeah. And him and his three other friends. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay.

No, no, no. It sounds like a full grown man. Yeah. And him and his three other friends. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay. I'm not gay.

I sink your ship. Yep. Yep. Yep. So the pirate's not a safe space. Wow. Who would have thought, hey? Online.

Who would have thought? All that hard work. Yeah. That's what Taka Waititi and Reece Darby did in Our Flag Man's Death. Yeah. Making homosexual pirates acceptable. And you're telling me that those ships filled with men

were at sea for months and nothing going to happen? Come on. Come on now. All that rum? Come on now. Come on now. Bit of scurvy?

Come on now. So we reported them. And then reported for hate speech because you can report them for hate speech. In my little report box, I wrote, maybe instead of banning them, maybe just lock it

so they can only fly the pride flag. Oh! That would be good. That would be a punishment. That would be a good punishment. The Queen's Man. That's horrible. Yeah, it's shocking. Shocking. I mean, it's nothing compared to some of the other insane stuff you see

people saying in other games. But fun shanty pirates? Oh, come on saying... Yeah....in other games. But fun, shanty pirates? Oh, come on now. Yeah. It should be a safe space. It should be a safe space for all. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, she is the woman behind one of the biggest songs of the year.

that got everybody riled up, something about a threesome and someone's testicle popped out. Shannon at the social media desk with all the info. Yeah, there were some great memes coming out of the weekend. One of my favourites was the fact

that we might have an international war because they got the Koreas mixed up when announcing the two boats. They said the good Korea was the bad Korea. The bad Korea doesn't come to the Olympics. They did this time. Did they really? Yeah, I think about 15 of them, and everyone is so intrigued.

Is this their first time out of the country? What's it like? Do they have one of the sanctioned Kim Jong-un haircuts? I believe so. I didn't look too close. It was piercing down with rain, so they were all wearing ponchos, like the $3 concert ponchos. I know.

So how's about all these countries have all these fancy designers? Didn't Ralph Lauren do the Americans? And then they were all wearing $3 ponchos. The winner on the day was the guy hawking ponchos. Yeah, and they also packed the boats quite weirdly. So the countries came down and a few countries got mixed boats, so like three countries would share a boat or big countries like America got their own.

But some of them were really badly packed. One guy was by himself and he was just left by himself, whereas other people were all stacked up and they couldn't walk or breathe. It was, yeah, it wasn't greatly packed. The boats thing was weird, wasn't it? Yeah. It was different. It was different.

There was a big, like, metal horse boat, like, just a big mechanical horse running, like trotting down with the boats as well. It was intense. How was Gaga? She was incredible. It was so beautiful. She did a French song.

There was big feathers. It was very Moulin Rouge, sexy. So then when did Celine Dion, because I thought that they were doing a duet, but then I saw a photo of Gaga and no Celine. No, Celine was by herself and just beautiful. And she looked incredible, big rhinestone dress. And she sang beautifully.

It was awesome. Right. Okay. Oh, yeah. And then the threesome, obviously. Yeah, well, they did invent that, didn't they? Yeah, they did. Bold to put it in the opening ceremony.

And then the last supper was, I saw a picture and didn't even click. It was the last supper. By the way, the thre picture and didn't even click, it was the Last Supper. By the way, the threesome was an artistic interpretation of, like when we say there was a threesome at the opening ceremony, it wasn't like a cut to three people on a bed. No, it was very implied. But yeah, there was lots of cutaway shots. There was Marie Antoinette with her head. There was metal music.

It was full noise. Had a bit of everything. Yeah. And yeah, the Last Supper with the drag queens caused a bit of controversy. Lots of famous drag queens including Nikki Doll, who's one of the biggest ones out of RuPaul's Drag Race. She hosts the French show.

But yeah, lots of people not happy about that. And then also thinking they saw a blue testicle on their screen. But it was the guys bunched up undies. Yeah. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. I mean, that's what you'd say if your testicle popped out and the whole world saw it.

Although it was blue, so. Yeah, but they've gone to the effort of painting everything. I've got to say my Olympics moment wasn't in the opening ceremony. It was just on social seeing Michaela Blyde meet the sprinter that she idolises? Yes. The Jamaican sprinter? Yeah, they started following each other. There's a bit of an update. Shelly Ann Fraser-Price. She had bright yellow hair last

Olympics. Do you remember her? She's a Jamaican sprinter. I didn't recognise her this time because she's ditched the trademark Bart Simpson hair colour. Right. And she's just got, yeah, black hair. But Michaela Blyde was in a massage apparently and her teammates were like, we found her. And so she comes trotting around the corner in Paris,

no shoes on. Yeah. I was like, how very Kiwi, how very Kiwi. So that was pretty heartwarming. And then met her. Wow. Okay. Yeah, met her idol.

Well, at this stage, per capita, we're still doing pretty good. Zero. What is the middle tally? Per capita. Aussie was out in front when I woke up this morning. Australia has four golds, two silvers, zero bronzes. France, 3-2-2.

Japan, 3-2-1. South Korea, 3-2-1. New Zealand, 0-0-0. But per capita, like, we're doing really well. When you break it down per capita. No, because we've got to get up middle before we start doing the per capita thing. Oh, right. We need something to divide by, don't we?

Yeah. Okay. Kazakhstan's seventh. What? Judo. They rule at judo. Do they? They rule at judo.

Yeah. Didn't know that. Yeah. Didn't know they were a judo nation. A big judo nation. Play Zidane's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play Zidane's Fletchborn and Hayley. We'll be right back. Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole You know, we said the sevens, I just want to quickly cover this off. We said the sevens was over, the women's sevens hasn't even begun. Oh yeah.

Our real medal hype. Yeah. You know. Yes, true. So the female sevens at the Olympics is about to kick off. Is still to come. Yeah. That's about to kick off.

Silly Little Pole today is, do you like being greeted as you enter a store? Hello. This came about because some guy in Australia went on some big rant on TikTok, which kind of picked up some steam and people started jumping in. Did he want to be left alone entirely? He used to work in retail and he was like,

look, I know it's retail. I know it can be a shitty job. But he said, I feel like when I worked in retail, I gave it my all. I said hello to everyone when they walked in the store. I was helpful. And he just said, now it just seems like no one cares. Back in my day. Back in, yeah.

Back in my day. It wasn't even that old. Well, this is why. Do you like being greeted as you enter a store? 48% of people said yes. 52% said no. Do you think it's because it's more than a hello? Sometimes it can be a hi, what can I do for you today?

What can I help you with? Hi, welcome in. It's like, I don't know. Sometimes I'm just browsing. Yeah, I'm just passing time. Yeah. Yeah. Having a look.

Well, people, just the sneaky majority, don't like being greeted as they walk into a store. Do you think it would be more people want a greeting? I don't mind a hello, but hello, or hi, let me know if you need anything. Perfect. That's a perfect greeting. Hi, let me know if I can help. And then on the way out, you've always got to say bye. Because sometimes, like, when they, like, get into, oh, we've got a sale

on, this is on special, you can get this and it's like, no, no, no, I'm just looking. Retail 101. Someone text messaged in. Retail 101. Engage withaged in. Retail 101. Engage with customers when they walk in. Those engaged with are less likely to shoplift as you've made contact with them. Oh. And you've given the store a human face.

Okay. That's interesting. An acknowledgement, says Zach, an acknowledgement that I've walked in and not a can I help you straight away. I can add up for some parts of my life and if I cannot find what I'm looking for, I shall approach.

Yeah. Hello, let me know if you need anything. Perfect. Perfect. Yes, but that's it. I'll have a hello, but I'll come to you if I need help with anything more, says Mandy.

Yeah, I'm on team Mandy there. Andy says, I don't want to be perceived while shopping. Be perceived. Perceived. Did they miss out what they want to be perceived as or don't want to be perceived while shopping. Be perceived? Did they miss out what they want to be perceived as? Or don't want to be perceived to exist while shopping? I'm not sure. Jonathan says, they have some flog at the front door, but no one in the aisles to help you find things.

Oh, okay. Also, so he's saying... He's saying more staff are needed. More staff roaming. Yeah. Less at the door. In America, everything's behind locked cabinets now. Like at the drugstores.

Even if you want deodorant, you've got a bing bong and they come to you. And they slide it open. And they open it with a key for you. Yeah. So maybe he's messaging it from America. Yeah. Where there is literally no staff in the aisles. They're hooning around with a key for you. Yeah. So maybe he's messaging it from America. Yeah. Where there is literally no staff in the aisles. They need more people hooning around with that key.

Tanya, retail training kicks in, and I get super pissed off if I'm not acknowledged when I walked in. The worst is when staff continue their conversation with each other while one of them serves you. Oh, yeah. I was waiting the other day to pay for something at a counter, and these two staff were like having a bloody chinwag. I was like, excuse me.

But were they dealing with you or No they were like at the other end of the store. I was like do you want the sale? Do you want the sale on your daily target? Hello. I'm over here. Thar says the most annoying thing is when you're trying on clothes undressing yourself half naked and they constantly

come to check in. Are you all good in there? How's it going? Are you all good for sizes? Someone said, I just caught, fast as I just caught a look at my own ass in the mirror in the change room. Maybe just leave me alone for a little bit. Yeah, I just need some time to process that. Mason, God no, leave me the hell alone. I have my earbuds in especially just to ignore people.

Oh, yep, yep. Immediately, Moana, immediately I will purposely not buy anything if there's chit-chat between staff and no chit-chat with me. Oh, wow. So again, that's a person that's like, I like seeing the staff talking. Yeah. As long as it doesn't, if I've got a question. Yeah.

The delay is not going to be too much. What do you expect them to just hang out all day and not have fun and talk? Yeah, yeah. As a retail manager, says Lisa, we hate bothering you when you come in. We aren't all pushy. We just want to say hello. Yeah, just a hello is good. Very, yeah.

Human touch to say hello. And as that person said, they're less likely to shoplift if you've engaged with them. Yeah. People feel quite strongly about it, don't they? Yeah. I worked at a retail place a part-time over 10 years ago and they literally had a 10-step sale process.

I got so sick of it because it's obvious people just want to be left alone. A simple hello, let me know if you need anything is much better. Yeah. Then shops like that

are so competitive with sales too. It's toxic. Secret shoppers would come in and say you did points one, two, three, but you missed four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and you came back in at 10. Oh yeah, that would be horrible. You can tell it's mostly...

They'll never leave you alone. They want to tick all the 10 boxes. Like electronic stores are that would be horrible. You can tell, it's mostly, they'll never leave you alone, they want to tick all the 10 boxes. Like, electronic stores are like that. Yeah. Because they are there, they want the sales targets, don't they?

Yeah. You feel like, yeah, they just won't leave you alone. Hmm. They just hound where they got to. And then if you talk to somebody

and then you're like, oh, I'll have a think about it and then you end up making a decision on your own and you take it up to the counter. Oh, I know. And someone else gets their sale. They're not happy about that.

They're not happy about that. Not happy about that. Yeah. 724 next on the show. Shannon apparently has another great hack for us. We'll see. We'll see.

Another in the case that there's been previously a great hack and there hasn't been. There hasn't been. Shannon has hacks for us There's no intro for this segment Not until there's a five star hack Because we've said until she delivers with a hack

It's no point doing this segment really No In fact I wonder if it's got legs Because we just keep getting terrible hacks What's the area of the hack today, Shanna? Parenting. Of which you have never done. Yeah, but I've got a hack for it to make it easier and less embarrassing, really.

Is it drop the kids off at the grandparents and then go on a European holiday? I like that one. Yeah. Maybe that's next week. Or is it use a cattery because it's cheaper? And kids love cats. And kids love cats. And then they're in the cages with the cats.

Cute. Perfect. Did I just come up with a hack? Although I don't know, how much are catteries? I've never used one, but they are expensive. Right. Yeah. Day to day, boarding school.

If you sent a kid to boarding school. Yeah, but I love my cat. I'm not going to send myto-day boarding school if you sent a kid to boarding school but i love my cat i'm not going to send my cat to a boarding school boarding no but i was just thinking as a alternative to getting someone to look oh yeah right yeah yeah vacation yeah right okay so what's the parenting hack so basically i can imagine if you had a young baby so maybe if you've got a niece or if you're a kid, it would be really embarrassing on its birthday, maybe first or second, if it cried while everyone's sung it happy birthday. And it ruins the photos. I've had this very

occasion. Yeah. Andy didn't like, August loved it when people sung it happy birthday, but our oldest it freaked her out. Really? So I've got a hack for that. Okay. So from the day it's born, you sit it in a high chair and loudly sing it happy birthday, maybe clap, get a few confetti poppers, and you desensitise your kid to happy birthday.

Just like once a day, just like yell at it, happy birthday, a few times. Then it gets to their birthday. So you're screaming at your child every day of its life. So one moment they don't cry, Anne. Yeah, because that would be embarrassing. So, yeah, yell at them every day, clap, maybe

get a few people around to help. Oh, now you're calling in, Rian, because that's what I was going to say. What you're describing, it's just you yelling happy birthday at it and then all of a sudden a large group is yelling happy birthday. Now, Shannon, according to care.com, the effects of yelling at a baby... Well, no, but it's happy yelling.

...continued shouting out at anger around a baby, even when not directed at a baby, will likely increase their stress levels and anxiety, which may make attaching to the primary caregiver harder. Well, you did say angry.

I'm not doing this angrily. It's exciting. They're celebrating their birthday. Still quite a loud noise though, isn't it? But that's the point. Give us an example of what this would sound like. Happy birthday. Woo!

Yeah, baby. Don't cry. Happy birthday to you. Oh, Jesus Christ. That's lunacy. No, because you would do... When did Indy become okay With people singing

Happy birthday Your daughter Like they just get used to it Third or fourth birthday So this is a hack For four years of their life Four years of embarrassment You could say

Well I'll leave this to you As a parent It's not embarrassing It's just like Oh it's okay You're like Ah it's alright No it's embarrassing

Blow the candle out I don't want to Blow it out I don't want to Yeah That's alright Ruin some photos What are you doing I think it's all right. No, it's embarrassing. Blow the candle out. I don't want to blow it out. I don't want to. Yeah, no. It's all right. Ruin some photos. What are you doing?

I think it's far more embarrassing that your neighbours hear you screaming happy birthday every day. At your baby. At your baby. Or they just assume you've got so many people living in the house every day as somebody's birthday.

That's zero stars for me today, Shannon. It's low. Like, I get the climatising your child to a situation so that when it arises, it's not freaky. Yeah. But I don't know if yelling happy birthday at them is any more than one star for me. I'll take one.

Are you giving her one? It was a pity one. I'll take a pity one. Do you want pity? No, there's no space for pity. No, there's no pity rankings around here. Then it's a zero. It's a zero. I could sing again for you if you wanted. No, I don't think so.. No, there's no pity rankings around here. Then it's a zero.

I could sing again for you if you wanted. No, we heard it the first time. Nah. Nah. Back to the drawing board for you, Shannon. Get a better hat. I don't think you're going to invest 365 days of yelling happy birthday at your child so that on their first birthday they were like, oh yeah, it's just another day.

It's just another day. Because that's what you say when you become an old person. Oh, it's just another day. You know when you day. Because that's what you say when you become an old person. Oh, it's just another day. You know when you're one year old. Oh, you know, birthdays every day. But what's the point of having kids if you don't get a cute gram photo, you know? Oh my God. You know you can go to Europe without kids and have a great gram photo.

True. Yeah. Next on the show, there is a ring bearer at the Olympics. Flag bearer. A flag bearer. Who is no longer bearing his ring. Because he's got some explaining to do next. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

A Italian flag bearer has lost his ring in the CN which is the river that everybody was on for the Olympics opening ceremony. Gianmarco Tambieri. Must have been loose. Like how did it just fall off?

Or did he take it off because he was holding that? No, no, no. Apparently he was waving the flag and it was raining quite a lot. Slippery, slippery. It bounced off his hand and he saw it bounce and then it plopped into the water. Now, he's saying it's because he's lost too much weight with all the training he's been doing.

He's got skinny finger syndrome. Too much water, too many kilograms lost over the last few months and maybe the uncontrollable enthusiasm of what we're doing. Probably all three things, he said, because he's written a big apology post to his wife. I bet he has because he's lost a very expensive, you're never getting that back. Oh, no, no, no.

Because it would sink into the sediment and you'd never find it. Get that remade. Get that remade. You'd forgive that, though, if you were the wife, right? It's pretty cool. Mistakes happen. God, he's got skinny fingers.

She's got skinny fingers too. There's a photo of both of their hands. I've never noticed, like, if you, like, yo-yoers from way back, but I've never noticed my fingers getting skinny. They're always the same. No. Well, I would have thought so. But my wedding ring, which fit me when I got married in 2010,

doesn't go over the knuckles now. Now, I don't know if that's a. Oh, dear. I don't know if that's your knuckles get a bit bigger when you get older. Swelling and such in the joints. It sounds like your fingers have got fat, Horne. Fatty little fingers. Because I don't wear mine anymore because it doesn't fit.

And I'm DTS. I think just the way you said that says you're not. I'm not DTS. No, you're not, are you? So, yeah, mine doesn't fit, so it's in my drawer. My dad never wore one because he got married, got the wedding ring, and it was working at a cabinet-making factory at the time. And so he saw a guy lose his finger.

Oh, my God. So he's like, well, nope. Yeah, no thanks. But, yeah, this guy's bounced off. It was a dainty little wedding ring, and it bounced off, and it's plopped. Right. Well, we want to know this morning how you lost your wedding ring. And take stories for engagement rings as well.

Or just any kind of ring of significance. Any ring of significance. That could lead to a burger ring story. Oh, we've all lost a burger ring down the back of the couch. We're like, that's somebody else's problem now. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like there's not enough flavour. They're not making them like they used to. The burger rings. More burger ring flavour. They haven't had burger rings for a while. I don't know if I might put in a sidebar, if I might approach the bar, Cheeto puffs. They're the best poor flavour snacks now.

Oh, yeah, see, no, I'm all about the cheese balls. Ah, these are long cheese balls. Somebody said your joints do swell a little bit when you get older if they're prone to a little arthritis. Oh, really? Do you have arthritic fingers? No, because I never think about it. I just move my fingers.

But now I'm moving them and thinking about them. I'm like, oh, actually. Okay. In that joint, there could be a bit of stiffness. Maybe you lost some weight and your wedding ring slipped off. Maybe you lost your wedding ring or your engagement ring somewhere insane, like, I don't know, in the ocean while you were diving. Yeah.

Or scuba diving. Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did you lose it? 0800-DARLS-IT-M. Points as well if you haven't told your partner. And you're pretending that you've still got it. Points if you lost it somewhere you should not have been.

Yes. And so you are like, I don't know where it's gone. Someone else's bedside table. You kind of know where it is. Down the back of someone else's bed. Who knows? 0800 DALS at M. Give us a call.

You can text her as well. 9696. How did you lose your special ring? We're talking about where you lost that special ring. Yeah. Wedding ring, engagement ring. So the Italian flag bearer, his ring slipped off his finger on the boat and plopped into the Seine, into the river.

Never to be seen again. Where he was enthusiastically waving the flag. Some messages in on Instagram we asked if you'd lost it. Amy said, my husband lost his. Three weeks in while using a log splitter. Hit his finger and noticed it was gone. Wait, so it didn't take the finger off? No.

Oh, okay. Lucky. That's so weird. Wait, so it didn't take the finger off? No. Oh, okay. Lucky. That's so weird. What happened to it? My daughter thought she'd try it on, found it a year later wedged between her bunk bed and the wall. Said, Eliza, that's, it's just been wedged in there the whole time. I love the thought of scouring a house and it's just precariously wedged.

Tash, you lost your mum's ring as a kid. Similar kind of thing. I did. Yeah. I did. Were you in trouble? Yeah, I was in lots and lots of trouble. I was about five or six at the time in my mid-thirties now. I remember it clear as day.

So my mum went for a shower and put both her wedding ring and her engagement band on the bathroom counter and I tried them on but I also went to the toilet after I tried them on and I accidentally flushed not one but two down the toilet because they slipped right off your finger because they're giant obviously so my mum came out of the shower and she said where's my wedding ring and my engagement ring? And I looked at her and I just pointed to the toilet.

And she cried but laughed at the same time. Oh, no. And did Dad believe that? Because that sounds like something Mum would say if she'd lost them. Yeah, Dad wasn't too happy with me at the time, but he did get over it once they were replaced by insurance. I was going to say insurance replacement. Yeah, definitely.

Lucky there was insurance, otherwise you would not have been the favourite child. Tash, thank you. Rachel, your husband lost his wedding ring? Yes, he did, like a week after we got married. Was it an expense? I mean, they're all expensive, but was it covered? Yes, it was.

It wasn't as expensive as mine, but we had matching wedding bands, and he'd gone out diving six days after our wedding, digging around for pāua, got it caught in the seaweed, and came up and thought, something's felt weird, and then he had to ring me and tell me, and there was no reception. So all I could hear was, sorry, sorry, I've lost, and then it kept cutting out, and yeah. So there were flowers, lots of begging, lots of apologies.

Yeah. To be honest, I just would have settled for a feet of power. I mean, that's as good as it is. Or some crayfish at least. Yeah, bring back something a little special. I would have said, get your bloody scuba gear back on and get down and find it in that seaweed. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

He was in the sand for a while. There's just so much treasure on the bottom of that ocean. Well, there was a couple of years ago that fish that a scuba diver saw swimming along and it had a wedding ring in the middle of it. Like it had swum through a wedding ring. Really? And it got stuck and then grown around it. And now it had grown around the fish.

It's like when you see a bike growing in a tree, or a tree growing through a bike. You're like, oh, that bike's owner's never getting that bike back. Hey, Rachel, thank you for your call. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. Where did you lose the wedding ring

or the engagement ring? I lost my wedding ring in Lake Taupo. Being a clown, having a swimming race with a mate. I was married five months. Insurance got me though. That's the thing. These things are insured. They're under your house and contents. And if it's over a certain amount you've got to get it specifically valued.

186 metres at its deepest point. Oh yeah. Lake Taupo? I don't think they were that deep. You're not getting that bad. It's a silty bottom. Silty bottom. It's a silty bottom. It's a silty bottom. Silty bottom. It's a silty bottom. It's a silty bottom. So we're talking about where you lost your ring, the Italian flag bearer losses in the CN,

which they've tested again. Still a bit poopy. Apparently when the mayor went swimming to say it's okay, it wasn't. Yeah, so maybe don't swallow when you're swimming in those races if you're an athlete. Tracy, you lost three rings at once. Yeah.

Okay, so wedding ring engagement? So my mother's eternity ring and engagement ring and my grandmother's engagement ring. How did you lose three important rings? Three rings, three generations, and gone. Just yet. Irreplaceable, you'd say. Yeah.

So, look, I was at home and realised that they were missing off my finger and I obviously, beside myself, searched the whole house, drove to work, searched all of work. I had been out during the day with work, went to the places I had been in the dark with a torch trying to find these rings. My daughter was with me, helping me, being

very understanding, even though I don't think she really was because initially, you know, she should have been getting those rings. Oh, she saw her inheritance slipping away. She was being very calm and very caring. And so I came home and I thought, right, there's nothing I can do.

I've just got to go to bed. And so I was getting undressed and I took my bra off. And the rings were a little bit loose. And I had obviously gone and rearranged the girls during the day. And my hand was cold. The girls were warm. And here they were tucked under my boob, all three of them, and they'd been there the entire time. So you went to adjust the old girls, and they'd all three of them had slipped off?

Yeah, and I hadn't realised. I'm not a breast owner. You didn't feel them prodding the underneath of the tit? No, no, no Because the girls are, you know I'm quite well in depth They were looking after them for me They were tucked up under there

Keeping them warm Oh, that's brilliant, Tracey That's brilliant I'm glad you found them Yeah Tracey Thank you Kate, whereabouts did you lose the ring?

I lost my ring in Lake Popo by the Maori carving. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, but it's still sitting there. It's a bit sad. My mum and dad are divorced. She had melted down her wedding rings and very kindly gifted them to me and my sister for Christmas. Did she give them to you in the melted form

like she poured you each a little bit? Yeah, so she got a jeweler to melt them down, put the diamonds from each onto these beautiful rings. Very Sauron from Lord of the Rings, isn't it? Yes, it is.

Right, and then so how did you lose it in the lake? Very sauron from Lord of the Rings, isn't it? Yes, it is. Very, very. Creating the nine rings. Right. And then, so how did you lose it in the lake? So on a boozy New Year's trip, we were a whole lot of 19-year-olds on one of those cruises that go out onto the water. Yes. And we all jumped into the water, and I did actually have the thought,

oh, this ring is really sentimental. I should take it off. So I took it off and I handed it back up to my girlfriend who was on the boat. And as she grabbed it, as I was passing it to her, she dropped it. I tried to catch it and it went through my hands into the water. And we just, I was trying to like scramble, get it, and it just went, kept going down, just couldn't get it. How deep was it?

I don't know if you previously heard me mention 186 metres deep at its deepest point. Well, so it was over by the carving, so probably not at its deepest point, but oh my God, like honestly, you could see it go down and that's how clear the water was. Oh, beautiful. We tried to get someone to free dive, go down and get it,

and no one could get it. So it's still sitting there. So the carvings, that's the part where the people jump off the cliffs, right? So it is quite deep there. Yeah, it is deep, definitely deep, but, like, to get a novice to free dive down off a boat, like... Well, if anybody's got any scuba gear or a deep submersible submarine. It sounds like there's a few rings

at the bottom of this lake. I know. And, oh my gosh, I would love to get that back. I mean, I'm never getting it back. How long ago did this happen? Oh, like, so I'm 42 now. I haven't had a long time.

Oh, wow. Okay. Still could be down there. Still could be there. Kate, thank you. Some messages in. I lost my wedding and engagement ring in yoga class. I thought someone had stolen them. Fold could be there. Kate, thank you. Some messages in. I lost my wedding and engagement ring

in yoga class. I thought someone had stolen them. Failed a police report, turned the house upside down, got replacements through insurance. Three years later,

I was cleaning out my wallet and guess what was in there? How do you not stumble across something in your wallet three years? It must have been a big purse. Yeah. A messy, big purse.

Big, messy purse. Three years of messing that purse Sort out your big messy purse My husband lost his the day after our wedding He had to clear the outside drain What a thing to do the day after your nuptials And probably not used to wearing a Unless he had an engagement band

He might not be used to wearing a ring Bought his hand up Nothing on there He spent two hours going through all the crap That had come out of the drain to find the ring He was one lucky man he found it Oh okay wow My partner lost his wedding ring He spent two hours going through all the crap that had come out of the drain to find the ring. He was one lucky man. He found it. Oh, okay. Wow.

My partner lost his wedding ring swimming in a river we have on our property. Went in to find it, couldn't find it. After a flood and a couple of years later, my mum was swimming in that river with goggles on and she saw something shimmer, swam down there it was. After like floods and everything. Yeah. Two years. That's incredible.

Crazy, eh? Wow. Somebody else said my partner lost his the day after we got married on the log flume at Dreamworld. Wouldn't it fall out?

Surely they've got a sieve at the bottom of that pool. Get that back. It's like a ball pit for adults. They're always dropping all the goodies over there. Play. ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.

Play ZM. I am a Starlink user. Not a huge Elon Musk fan. I know, he's such a penis. But the best internet I could get previous was embarrassing. Well, that's the thing. You live kind of rurally. So there's no fibre.

And it's pretty amazing. I mean, you've got to admit. That's phenomenal. I mean, because is that what, not Vodafone, one NZ are going to use Starlink, aren't they? Oh, yeah, I don't know. They're doing the partnership with them, right? Yeah, which is so good for New Zealand

because even driving sometimes State Highway 1, you don't get reception in some parts. If you're listening to this and being like, that sounds like a bit of me, I'm not endorsing it, but I do have a code I'd like to share with you. What's the referral code? I get a month, you get a month.

Oh, that's pretty good. That's a good deal, right? That's pretty good. That's a good deal. Yeah, that's really good. I've got a code, I can give you the code, you'll be like,

yeah, my buddy, code, code. And then I could... I like the fact that people will be like, if you're going on a hike, you'll have reception because you'll use Starlink, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you've got a clear view of the sky, you'll be able to get some sort of reception. So yeah, emergency calls and locating. That's going to help with everything. That'll be totally great. But I got an email from them. From Starlink.

Okay, interesting. Title, it came up as a notification in app and then I also got an email. Notification of copyright infringement. Oh. You wouldn't download a handbag. I would if I could 3D print it and save me, sharday, buying a handbag.

Yeah, that's true. To Vaughan Smith, we received the attached notice from a content owner claiming that your Starlink internet service was used to download copyrighted material without the right to do so. Oh, trouble, trouble. He's in big trouble. Naughty. Viewer support request.

Do you remember back in the 2000s, they'd make a big thing and they'd prosecute someone for downloading? Yeah, they'd make an example out of somebody. And it was always embarrassing because there was always some nerd who downloaded like, I don't know, some nerd show, Fringe or something. Oh, hey, that was a great show. Was it?

That was a great show. So it turns out that this was copyrighted material from Paramount Plus. Yeah. I'm like, that's interesting. I honestly haven't downloaded anything for so long. Neither. Does that sound?

You want to be like, oh, wait. Go again. You want to like sound surprised that I've even put the idea forward. I haven't downloaded anything for ages. I'm neither. Nah. Too dismissive.

Okay. Yeah. Say it like it hadn't even crossed your mind to do it. Yeah, okay. I haven't downloaded anything for ages. I'm neither. Nah. Nah.

That sounded really guilty then, didn't it? I would do it like this. I'll play both parts. Okay. Me and you. Okay. I haven't downloaded anything for ages. Oh, neither. No, that sounded like you just I haven't downloaded anything for ages. Oh, neither.

No, that sounded like you just literally downloaded a show last week. To be fair, the show that I downloaded last is on one of my streaming services. It's just not express enough. Don't express me and then put it up five hours after

it comes out in America. I want to express express. I want Express Express. I want Express Express. So they're saying Express, but we'll drop it later on tonight when most people are doing their night time viewing. It's not illegal because I already pay for it. Okay. So that's my defense.

We'll see. We'll see. But wait, what did you why did you get a download notice? So I'm like I said to Sade I'm like You downloaded something She's like I don't even know

How to download anything Yeah none either And so I immediately was like Well there's one last suspect My father-in-law Right Who we've got a The router's got an expander on it

So he can get it In the granny flat Okay And I just sent him The screen caps And Sade's like You're're going to freak him out. I was like, good. You've got to scare them straight sometimes, these naughty little kids.

You've got to scare them straight. Yeah. So I sent it to him and I was like, hey, John. How does he know how to download something? Dude doesn't know how to set up an automatic payment. Knows how to download TV shows. He's wild. Knows how to find some weird, obscure Korean soap opera

that was made in like 2008. Yeah. Doesn't know how to, I don't know, stop the toilet from running the whole time. Anyway, so I messaged him and she said he's going to freak out and he did freak out a bit. He's like, oh no, I've got a VPN. He does have a VPN again.

He knows how to work a VPN. He knows how to work a VPN. He's like, I've got a VPN. He doesn't know how to do so many things. I know, he's got a VPN. He does have a VPN again. He knows how to work a VPN. He knows how to work a VPN. He's like, I've got a VPN. He doesn't know how to do so many things. I know. He's got a VPN. He's like, I don't know what the story is here.

Is it because I, because he also, this is how he does his, you know, he records a lot of his own music. Yes, he does. He goes to that thing

that you can rip MP3s off YouTube by putting copy and pasting and then you download the karaoke track and then he sings along to it. I said, I don't even think that would register. No. And it says here it's Paramount+.

So anyway, I said, maybe we'll just tie ho on the downloads. And so the next day, because we were out when I sent him that, the next day he came over and it was almost like Sade marched him out and was like, go on, go on, tell him. Go on, tell your dad what you've done. And I'm outside and he comes over and he's like, for one, I've been thinking about the infringement. Yeah.

And I'm like, oh, yeah. And I'm going to shout, I was in the background. It was so much like she was marching. The kid went to mum and mum went, oh, what did I do wrong? Well, you've got to go tell your father. Yeah. So my father-in-law is the child in this situation. He's like, I think I know where I've gone wrong.

There was one TV show I downloaded. Oh, I forgot to turn on the VPN. I was like, oh, okay. What was that one? And he's like, it is called Evil. And I was like, is it made by Paramount Plus? He's like, I believe it is. I'm sorry for this.

I was like, all right, whatever, that's cool. But if we lose the internet, you're paying for the internet. Yeah. And then we get the booster. So, yeah, wild to get an infringement notice. It was like, this is the first, because my kids haven't misbehaved. That was very 2000s.

I know, my kids haven't misbehaved. It was the first time where I was like, well, there's a bit of a mystery here and someone's got to own up to it. Yeah. Do you remember the days like in the 2000s where you'd have a big hard drive and then all your friends would like share TV shows that

everyone had downloaded? Yes. Because we live in New Zealand. I don't want to throw anyone under the bus but Ross Boss used to have a great collection didn't he? In the 2000s. Do you remember that time he dropped his hard drive? Yeah. We were devastated. Everybody was fairly devastated. There might have been some sort of group funeral for it.

So anyway. Yeah. They're still watching. Apparently they're still watching. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. So anyway, they're still watching. Apparently, they're still watching. It was producer Carwin that actually brought our attention to what we're going to talk about next. A feature or something that you can do in Instagram that could get people in trouble. Interesting that Carwin spotted this.

No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not the psycho one. The girlies on TikTok brought it to my attention. Right, okay. I have no need for this. I had no idea that you could do this. Yeah, so I will preface that it's not necessarily a new feature.

I think that it came out early this year. Okay. But all the girlies on TikTok are realising that this could be really good if you're a little suspicious of your partner. And then they just happen to have a long shower and leave their phone unlocked on the bedside table. It's crazy that I just happened to ask you for your password earlier this morning

and now you're on the toilet for half an hour. And I'm going through your phone. So this will, on Instagram, if you click on somebody's profile, so say you are a partner and you suspect your partner of talking to a certain person on Instagram, you would go to their profile. They've got to be friends with them, right? Oh, I haven't tried it on someone that I'm not friends with. But yes, I would assume so, yeah.

Yeah, I think you have to be friends with them. So you click on the three dots. Yeah, three little dots. So I did this for your profile, Vaughan. I clicked on the three little dots beside on the top right-hand corner. Okay. And then it says... And then it has like a long list of things, including see shared activity.

See, here we go. And so I'm on Fletch's page right now. Oh my goodness. So this is our shared activity. Fletch followed me in June 2021. I followed Fletch in September 2018. Big fan. She's a big fan.

Big fan. She was a fan of the show. Yep. Well, that's technically when I started. Friends. Well. Anyways. But you can also see tags.

So things that you've tagged each other in. You can see likes, so I can see all the photos of mine that Fletch has liked and that I've liked to Fletch. Can you see story likes? No, it doesn't need story. No, it doesn't show that. And then comments as well. But if you've been, like, if you're friends with someone and, I don't know,

they're a hot model or whatever, and you've liked all their posts, they're going to see that. They're going to see all of that. Yeah, and so if you're thinking, oh, my partner's, you know, bought up a person a few times or, like, they seem to be on their feet a lot, you could just have a little look and be like, oh, what's their shared activity?

And, oh, they've liked every single one of their pictures and they've been tagging each other in reels. Oh, so it shows if you tag each other in... Oh, because that would be comments. Yeah, comments. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay.

And so obviously this has caught people out, right? I assume so. Yeah. I've tagged you in a lot more posts than you've tagged me in, Fletch. Oh, wow. That hurts a lot. I've just gone in to see

which of Sydney Sweeney's posts I've liked. It's still loading. It's still loading. It's still a lot to process. It's got a lot to think about. Wait, so obviously you follow Sydney Sweeney, but obviously she doesn't follow you. Not yet.

Because it does take a while for all the posts. Man, you must have liked a lot, because it does take a while for your review... Man, you must have liked a lot, because it does take a while for your... Right now, Instagram, at Instagram headquarters, one of the computers is screaming. That's spinning. I've had requests from a Jared Pickstock in New Zealand. So wait, so it works,

even if you follow someone that doesn't follow you, your partner is going to see that you've liked all these Sidney Sweeney pictures. Yeah, which is fine. How many have you've liked all these Sydney Sweeney pictures. Yeah. Which is fine. How many have you got there? Has it loaded yet? Yeah, there's too many to count. Show us. Hold up your phone. What have you got there? No, I'm good. I don't want to.

Scrolling. That's a lot, isn't it? It's pages and pages. You can't get on Instagram to that because Jared just crashed it. Well, you've been warned. You've been warned. Oh, God. You amateurs over here, you don't like Sidney Sweeney's photos. You just look at them.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. This week's theme for Fact of the Day is the Olympics. Why? With the Olympics going on. Oh, okay. About happening. Makes sense.

About happening, about happening. And I just thought maybe even for the full length of the Olympics, there's a lot of facts about the Olympics. Yeah. They've been around for a while, haven't they? They've been around for a long time, and that's kind of what today's fact of the day kind of touches on. Okay. Because I noticed Greece were like first out the blocks

for the opening ceremony. Because it's their thing. Bingo. Yeah. They're the home of the Olympics. They come out really high up the order. Do you remember we went to Athens, didn't we? Dusty Athens.

Dusty old Athens. Was that the original? Yeah, you can go to the original track. The home of the Olympics from 1894. Was that the first modern Olympics? I don't know. And they, yeah, they've got the stadium set up there and it all kind of happened in this one area. But despite them being the home of the Olympics, they've got the stadium set up there and it all kind of happened in this one area.

But despite them being the home of the Olympics, they've never won a Winter Olympics medal. Oh. Greece, not one. I've never been to the northern parts of Greece, but surely there's some mountains with some snow on them. Some cold spots. Yeah.

Or they would have just, I don't know, like New Zealand, like you just have ice skaters and. Yeah, well, New Zealand, we've got snowy mountains. We've got skiers and snowboarders and stuff. And the last time that Greece placed in the top 10 at the Summer Olympics, 1904. Goodness. Since then, they've never got in. It's been all downhill. It's all been downhill, but not downhill skiing because they've never won a medal.

A Winter Olympics medal. Wow. Yeah. So, yeah, Greece, they just have not cracked the top ten since 1904. They've not even come close. They mostly sit in the 20s or did not rank. DNR is on the Wikipedia.

I thought a little bit embarrassing. It's like I'm wanting something and they're not being great at it. Yeah. Not even when they had the Athens Olympics, they didn't have like a bumper year? No, they had a good year but not a bumper year Didn't get them in the top 10 Because that was 2004 That's why there's a great metro

Into Athens Yeah from the airport I mean they'll bankrupt a country But you get a great metro You get a great metro The utilities The city has left with afterwards that they've got to maintain.

That they couldn't even afford to build in the first place. That's why we need a few more America's Cumps and World Cumps. Well, we were just saying that, weren't we? Yeah, you get nice new things. Because I saw a picture of like downtown Auckland before the America's Cup and it was very different. And then again before the Rugby World Cup. Yeah.

The Rugby World Cup, of course, gave us Winyard Quarter. Yeah. If your city is struggling, why not have a large-scale international event that could very well bankrupt the city, but could leave it with a couple of nice restaurants, of course. Yeah, and some nice plazas. Yes, a couple of plazas, a lovely outdoor area, some cobblestones and some planter boxes.

Lovely. Some planter boxes with some hedges. Who's responsible for these hedges? Yeah. These grizzly linear are just dying left, right and centre. So today's fact of the day, and the first for the Olympics themed week, is despite Greece being the home of the Olympics, never won a Winter Olympics medal and haven't placed in the top 10

since the Summer Olympics of 1904. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We were at Saturday Netball on, surprisingly enough, Saturday. Saturday. Saturday, yep. Weekend sports. Watching August play, our youngest. And I was sitting against the shutout. It's fair to say August seemed like it was getting trounced.

Oh, is that embarrassing? No, it's not embarrassing. You feel sorry for them. I just feel sorry for them because it's not enjoyable. I'm just having fun. No one has fun losing. No, no one does. No one has fun losing.

I think it's one of the main reasons I haven't like continued to play sport through my adult life. I hated losing. Well, same. You've got to win. I hated it.

It's just about participating. It's not. It's about winning. It's about winning. So I said to Shadaz, this is like the time when we were playing hockey, we were playing against

Hauraki Plains College in Nartia, which you only know as a drive-through tea room. I believe I've Hauraki Plains College in Nartia, which you only know as a drive-through tea room. I believe I've had a good Leamington in Nartia. They do a cracking Leamington. I can't speak to it lately, but I'm pretty sure the tea rooms are still open. Stained chairs, but wonderful Leamingtons. So Hauraki Plains College was right next to the turf,

so they had 24-hour access to this amazing hockey facility. These are in the days when not everyone had a turf. No, we didn't have a turf. We had too many, really, remember those tennis courts that schools used to have that wasn't like a flat surface? It was like if you fell over them, they tore you to shreds. We had too many of those at Morrinsville College. One of those could have been turned into a miniature turf. Anyway, it's too late to go back to the 90s

and change these things. So we didn't have a turf. We played on grass. Yep. Or we had to travel to play on a turf. They had it right next to a turf. They were amazing. I'm hearing a lot of excuses.

I'm hearing a lot of excuses. Yeah, here comes some more. So I think there was 20 minutes to go in the game and we were losing 19-0, which in a hockey is yeah hiding that is embarrassing yeah so i walked off the field and my mother who was like where are you going i was like i'm done no you're not get back on there i was like oh no no no no where there's no way we can salvage this to anything other than a hiding i say say we call the game now. And the ref's like, we're not calling the game now.

I was like, well, I'm done with it personally. I'll be in the car. So I just walked off, grabbed my stuff, and went and sat in the car. And when it was over, I got rocked up. But I was just like, I'm not playing. That was not enjoyable. That had beaten us.

That had won the difference between 19-0 and 27-0? It was a thrashing. I wasn't hanging around for it. I was done. See you later, guys. Good luck. Who was the goalie? I mean, I don't want to blame the goalie because there's a lot of people to get through to

get to the goalie. I had to get through 10 other players before I got to the goalie. That's the old saying. You can't be mad at the goalie. They're the last line of defence. I had to get through you first. But no, we got trounced and I was just like, I'm not playing. And so I just left.

And I would put that up with one of my greatest moments of ill sportsmanship. If only it hadn't been for the time at primary school we were playing rugby and I didn't want to play anymore. So I walked again. Just sat on the sideline and everyone's like,

get back on there. I was like, nah. And then at the end of the game, I wouldn't shake hands with anybody either. Say what you want about Vaughn. He's not a quitter. I was like, nah. And then at the end of the game, I wouldn't shake hands with anybody either. Say what you want about Vaughn. He's not a quitter. I was just like, there's nothing enjoyable about getting smashed. Yeah, it sucks. Let's call it. Yeah.

Let's call it. And your wife had never heard this about you. She'd never heard it. She was like, I would have hit the roof if one of us, this is the thing we try to raise our kids not to do. I said, no, we're trying to raise our kids not to get hidings. But what would you have done if August had just been like, I would have hit the roof if this is the thing we try to raise our kids not to do. I said, no, we're trying to raise our kids not to get hidings. But what would you have done if August had just been like, oh, well, we're losing 10-0. I'm walking off.

I would have been like, oh, get back on there, champ. Come on, don't give up. At the same time, just be like, let's go. Let's get out of here. Let's beat the traffic. Everybody's about to be leaving the car park. We might as well get a jump start on them. But I wanted to talk about people's most unsportsmanly moments.

Yes. Sports personally? Yeah, sportsmanly person moments. Or unsportspersonally moment. When were you just like, nah. Or maybe you cheated. Maybe you cheated. Oh, yeah. A lot of sports, like, I mean, golf, you can cheat.

Oh, yeah, I did that too. You disappear into the bush and you'd be like, I can't even find my ball. And then you just roll one out a little bit and be like, oh, it didn't even go in the bush. Here it is on the side of the fairway. I didn't see it. That's like a fluoro pink ball.

You were using a white one before. Me, I don't have white balls. I didn't see it. That's like a fluoro pink ball. You were using a white one before. Me, I don't have white balls. It's fluoro pink. Wait, do they actually use like, you know, mini putz or fluoro balls? Do they use fluoro balls in actual golf? You can if you want. I would. I'd use a fluoro green, I think.

No, it's hard to... No, pink would be better. Green's hard to spot. Shannon knows. Well, her dad's a greenskeeper. She grew up on a golf course. Yeah, we'd go collect them and I only play with the pink ball. It's easier to see depending on what kind of day it is.

If it's a sunny day, like too bright and cloudy. When I see golf on the news, and they hit it, I'm like, the cameraman doesn't even know where it's going. No one sees the ball. The cameraman just goes, eh, and moves the camera. And then you think you're bad because you can't see the ball. It's not even there. Yeah, no.

Floral balls for the win. Okay. Well, that's good to know. All right. Well, 0800DARZITM. We want to take your calls now. Text through 9696. What was your greatest unsportsmanly moment?

We want to know from you this morning. Your unsportsmanly moments that maybe you're not proud of. Maybe you're willing to stand by. Like Vaughn constantly walking off the field after being thrashed. Yeah. I'm not having fun. You told me this was all about having fun. Yeah, but it's about the team, Vaughn.

It's about the team. Oh, good luck to them. Good luck to them. They're one man down. This is why I don't think you thrive in a team environment. No. No, no, no, no, no. You have been called an island in the past.

I am an island in the stream. So we want to know from you, your unsportsmanly moments. Someone said, I loosened the spark plug at my opponent's motorbike during riders briefing because I knew I'd only win the race if they didn't race. So, of course, they get out there and it's not going to be so. Oh, my God. It's not fighting properly.

Also embarrassing if they then got off their bike, tightened their spark plug and still beat you. Yeah, that'd be really embarrassing. We were getting a hiding in water polo. One of the girls grabbed my swimsuit and ripped it and that was the last try. I turned around and smacked her in the face. I've always heard it's grabby in water polo.

Grabby, twisty, pinchy polo. Yeah. My dad stood on the sideline clapping like a maniac when it happened. My daughter's team has won one game this football season. Every other game she has some sort of meltdown. Being the manager of the team, I can't back her up. I've got to stay mutual.

And they're in the top league in New Zealand. Okay, see, in my mind, this was an eight-year-old. Yes, I... That's what I thought too. I love that. It's brilliant. It's a national league. Emma, what was your most unsporting moment?

Okay, I came from Olympic City. We hosted Olympics 98 sport and you know, after that figure skating was really big and I used to do figure skating and there was this person who was just simply better than most of us because she was just

talented and I used to take the shoelaces out, like completely take them out, not just like cut them or something. And then she would just come and she just couldn't train because she had no shoelaces. So you would take the shoelaces from her skates and steal them? You wouldn't just leave them beside so she'd

be delayed? You would just steal them? No, no, no. We just take them out completely and you know where you have a protector on the bottom on the shark's end. And we used to take that. And she was just like, oh, my God. I just like, where are my shoelaces?

It's like, how can you keep forgetting your shoelaces? And he's like, of course, you can't shoelace because you can't skate with shoelaces. And so that would be the only way you could win is if she was out of the competition with no shoelaces. Oh, it's bad. And, you know, like, she couldn't train. And, of course, ice skating is just, you know, it's really an art. You know, you have to put a lot of hours. And, you know, we used to have socks, which are like really nice, big woolen kind of socks that goes over it.

And we would just hide them. I would just hide it from her. I mean, looking back, that's kind of... You could have cost her an Olympic gold because she might have been on... And then, you know,

when I went back, like, from New Zealand to my home city first time in, like, 25 years, we were talking about it and I just said to her, it was me. She said,

no, Emma, you would never do that to me. I was like, yes, I would. Yes, I would. And I'd do it again. Wow, you admitted it to her. Where are your laces right now? We've been friends for 35 years and we just laugh about it now,

but we're like, yeah. Emma. That is wild. I love that, Emma. Thank you. We're talking about your moments of poor sportsmanship. I've had a few. Probably where I stopped my sport, to be honest.

Just not for you. Nah. Yeah. And some messages in. Shocking behaviour. There's some mind-blowing admissions. I once titty-punched a girl during a netball game. She was being rude and I'd had enough.

So I straight-up punched her in the titty. Yeah, I'm not condoning a titty-punch, but it sounds like she was being quite rude. High school football, high school girls' football was a minefield for hormonal girls. Just enough contact to be able to get away with stuff. Really leave it all out there on the field. I ended up yellow carded after a girl kicked my ankle,

and that was a straw that broke the camel's back, and I rugby tackled it to the ground. Yellow card. Okay. Somebody said my unsportsmanly moment where we were playing hockey on the grass at high school and an opposition girl had no boots or socks. Now, she shouldn't have been allowed on the field.

That's insanity. Was this like the 80s or something? But I told my team to always aim for her feet because she'd get hurt and obviously her feet were a week away from the team. Yeesh. I always been amusing and my mum forced me onto a netball court at 8 to try to encourage some sportsmanship.

The ball came at me and I didn't catch it. It hit me and I just burst into tears and I refused to stop crying until somebody took me off the court and I never played sport again. Wow. Swimming days in high school were always had my period. Yep. One of those had my period. Yeah.

One of those had my period days. I was playing hockey when I was in high school. I couldn't score any as the same girl kept getting the ball away from me. So I smacked her ankle with my hockey stick fully on purpose when the ball was nearby. But I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. That was such an accident. I'm so sorry. I won't have, you know, the terrible.

For well doing it. Just to get one passed. Yeah. My partner raced street stocks. He was winning his race. So another Auckland car chased him down and rolled him.

Safe to say, Karma got that driver when his wife ate all about his dirty cheating escapades all over Facebook and on stock racing pages. Wow.

Scandal in the stock community. That's what happens when you go round and round in a circle. Over and over. Yeah. Scandal in the stock community. That's what happens when you go round and round in a circle. Over and over. Over and over. It's a bit repetitive. Not prepared to confirm

or deny this, but deep heat may have made its way onto the bottom of my rugby jersey in my playing day so that I could wipe it into the eyes of the opposition

at the bottom of a rock. I play hockey for a team in the Wairarapa and this back always smacks the ball really high, which you're not allowed to do. Yep. So the player defending who looked at the ref and been like waiting for the call,

like how are you going to just keep letting him do this? They never did it. So the player threw the ball at the ref. Yeah. And when it went past the ref's head, said that's what it's like if you rip the fingers, walked off, never came back. That's good stuff.

I mean, fair point. Fair point, ref. Call the high ball. It's dangerous. I was getting, we were getting owned at a first 15 match at St. Andrews College in Christchurch. Proceeded to force change our flanker to my position lock. Came off the side of the scrum, tracked the ball to the winger, absolutely annihilated him over the sideline into spectators. For good measure,

when I got up, I shoved his head into the ground and ripped the fingers of the crowd that were supporting them as I ran back onto the field. You're getting carried away there. I think the tackle spoke enough. No need for violence here. Yeesh. Naughty and unsportsmanly.

Oh. Who did you tell me you were? Yeah, that was my tum-tums. That was my tum-tum-tums. Hey, guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show. Ah, not for me. Vaughan? Nowhere even close. Nowhere even close.

Nowhere even close. You haven't been here long, have you? No, I haven't. No. Well, if you were listening and you had fun, why don't you give us a little review and a rating? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
