Play ZM's Fleece, Fawn and Hayley. Thank you Bryn, good morning, welcome to the show. Fleece, Fawn and Hayley. The video and the photos of that plane landing with the smoke coming out of it. I feel like there's been quite an increase in plane incidents recently. Or am I just more attuned to it? I don't know. Sounds like someone wants to go on the Bowen whistleblower list over there.

Someone wants to mysteriously disappear. Yeah. I don't know. Sounds like someone wants to go on the Bowen whistleblower list over there. Someone wants to mysteriously disappear. I just tread lightly over there in front of you. If you had to evacuate the plane quickly, you'd grab your bag. I know you're not meant to, but I would. I'm grabbing my laptop. And I'm not leaving my shoes behind if I slip those on. I'll tie those on quickly.

They're like, leave everything behind. I'm like, but it's right here. I'll just grab it. It's on lander. I'll just grab it. Yeah, I'll just grab it. I'll just grab it. I'll just grab it. like, but it's right here. I'll just grab it. I'll just grab it. Yeah, I'll just grab it. I'll just grab it. I'll just grab it. It's right here. Excuse me,

I'll just grab it. It's only 10 kgs. The minute your plane sort of like belly slides onto the ground, you know, there's always those people that'll stand up immediately and grab your bag.

Yeah, exactly. Bounce off. Yeah, bounce off the minute your belly's sliding. Grab your bag, get out of there. Grab your bag. Nah, bugger that.

But did the people on the plane know? I think so, yeah, because they could see the smoke. Because sometimes if it was going fast enough, the smoke would be trailing behind. Sometimes you don't know that you've got a problem because you're not looking that way. Yeah, until people are tooting at you being like... Ignorance is bliss. Hey. Yeah, pulls up alongside.

Your cow's smoking. Yeah. A couple of chances on the show today to go in the draw to see Sabrina Carpenter live in the US. So it's now for the Activator. The top six on the way. Yeah, the top six ways

your classic Kiwi name may influence your appearance as you age. Vaughn, that's a mouthful. Sure is Vaughn. There's a big side post which is always like

Fletch always sends these bloody stories he does man and then he's like just before we talk about it he'll be like by the way that is a full blown

psychiatric paper psychologist? yeah it's one of the Psy's it's where they post all the psychology news yeah it's basically

they upload their PhDs and then Fletch is like you've got two minutes to process that and make it tangibly, you know, digestible for the layman. Behind the scenes,

I love tricking Hayley into doing a voice break using one of these papers. It would be 30 seconds left on the song and he'll be like, oh, do you have that article? And I'll be like,

oh yeah, I'll open it and it's, yeah, it's literally someone's, what is it? Citation or whatever. Like someone's dissertation. This was interesting, though. Is it possible that your face gradually comes to reflect your name as you age?

The findings have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. So give me, I mean, let's be honest. 20 minutes to read this. We know a Karen that looks like a Karen. Karens always look like Karens. I know a non-Karen looking Karen. Very young, funky, left-wing Karen. She'll age.

She'll age and she'll... Is she spelled K-A-R-E-N? I-N. Yeah. And she's Irish. She's a Korean. Yeah, different. That's different.

I have never had a six-pack. It is not really very achievable, particularly for women. We like to keep fat to keep the womb warm. Yeah, that's science. That's a fact, isn't it? That's just science. Just in case a baby wants to live there, it's shrouded in fat, so we keep that little nice and warm.

But, you know, men, they want a six pack. I'm doing the same thing for my heart and my other organs. I like to keep a shroud of fat around there. I don't want to get cold. I like that too. I'm always running a couple of degrees hotter than the standard. Yeah. The wind doesn't cut through me as much. Yeah.

Joke's on you, skinny bunny. Yeah. Joke's on you, you cold child. Well, apparently there is a massive rise in plastic surgery that men are having. Yep. It's called, they're basically just getting a six pack by having plastic surgery. It's called ab etching. I just went on a couple of plastic surgeons websites because

this is big in Rio like in Brazil which is like known for its plastic surgery. The famous Brazilian butt lift. We always want the Brazilian butt. But men are going there because apparently one in five Brazilians are obese. Right. That's not bad.

Not bad compared to like here. Are we one in three? Yeah. So that's one of us. Shotgun knock. Back sock. Oh, it's worn. You're the obese one today. I'll take over tomorrow. So they've had this massive rise

in people who are having this ab etching plastic surgery, which is slightly different to just straight liposuction, where you would just suck fat out of the gut and that's it. Right. They etch it. So they actually like go in with like an ultrasound and find the right place to remove fat

and then put some back in so that it defines it. So it's very like specific. But what if you've already got a belly? Do they... Oh, suck that away. So they would suck... So they are getting liposuction. So they're getting liposuction, but then they're going in and like adding little pockets of

fat in the right area. So it looks like you've got a gadoo, gadoo, gadoo, six pack. But how long does that... Well, don't stay there. Yeah, that's my question. How long is that lasting? Well, it just lasts for summer. So you get it done at the start of summer,

by the end of it? They say that... I was just on Dr. Someone-or-other's thing, ab etching for men, that it's long-lasting. If you keep up with a healthy-ish lifestyle and keep your body fat down, where they remove the fat from,

that'll never come back. Right. So you could get fat around it. Yes. So then you're kind of like bulging out the sides. That would rule, having a six-pack, but also having the six-pack of muffin tops. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Best of both worlds, though. Nice and soft on the sides and then a rocking six-pack. But apparently, yeah, it's like huge now. Because you would think mostly that plastic surgery would be women. Now men are like flocking to get this done. Is it the gays? I'm not saying it's specifically the gays

but I have seen a number of photos and it feels homosexually charged. Do you know what I mean? Apparently it's massive at the moment and now it's like spreading across the world, America, Europe. People are all like, men are flocking to get this quick little fix to get abs. But does it look good or does it look a bit...

There's a photo of one guy in that article. The bruising after liposuction on those box surgery shows. This is minimal because of the way that they do it. Where is it? There's a photo of a guy there, a little before and after. Because of the way that they do it. Where is it? There's a photo of a guy there, a little before and after. Because of the way that they do it with like keyhole surgery. Right. You can't tell.

You can't really tell. Okay. And they say that the time is like minimal to heal and whatnot. I mean, it looks pretty good. I feel like there's a high chance you're going to end up on botched. Yeah. Look, there's one. But he had a very small belly before him.

I'd say that's quite a slender man. Yeah. With a small little puku there. That's one of those guys in his 20s and 30s that eats whatever he wants. Yeah. And then all of a sudden in his 40s he's finding out that he's got a little guts. He's got a little guts. He can't shake it.

He's going to get it sucked out and etched into quite a respectable little six pack there. Lazy though, isn't it? It is lazy. Go to the gym. Go to the gym like everyone else. I mean, if someone said to me they offered me a free package and they said

we'll suck it out, we'll give you a six pack. What would I say? No, no. Do a Zimnick and lie about it like the rest of us. Say you've taken out your We'll suck it out. We'll give you a six pack. What would I say? No, no. Do a ZMX and lie about it like the rest of us. Yeah. Yeah, say you've taken a... Give us all the daily injection. Yeah, yeah, you're getting really energetic. Is this a lifestyle change? Yeah, but it wasn't.

But just say it was. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley's. Terrifying photo from NASA. Here we go. Now, don't here we go me. Listen up. There's a photo. There are facts.

This is fact. Is it? Right now. Now, we've been looking for Bigfoot for years, right? There's all those photos of Bigfoot in America and chasing around. He's in the bush. Always a grainy photo.

Always grainy. Despite us all having quite advanced cameras. Like that big panther somewhere in Canterbury. So... It's just a big cat, right? Do you know, I was talking to...

It's a feral cat. Do you know feral cats are a massive problem down south now? Oh, here we go. He's been to an island and now he wants to gas all the cats.

I'm all for that. You know how that school does that cat hunt and they shoot all the feral cats? Yeah. I'm back on board. You know how that school does that cat hunt and they shoot all the feral cats? Yeah. I'm back on board. Oh, Vaughn.

In a big way. Not Major Maui and Wally. Feral. Not our cats. Not our cats. Well, how will you know? My cat doesn't wear a collar. Well, your cat's not on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

He wanders. Well, if he wanders all the way to a farm, maybe. In central Otago. Maybe if he goes all the way to Otago, maybe, or northern Canterbury, maybe. He needs a swift bullet whiz past his head to remind him to get home and stay bloody home. But people down there are just like, it's just that feral cats get massive. But again, they never take a good photo of it. I know.

You know, stop zooming in, mum. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? It ruins the quality of the photo. Yeah. Well, we've been looking for Bigfoot everywhere on planet Earth, right? And here's the mistake. Bigfoot is on Mars.

And now we have proof. Oh, you non-believers. Look at this. What's that? That's Bigfoot on Mars. It's a rock, Hayley. That's actually Bigfoot. So this photo has been released by NASA. They say it's a terrifying photo. It's just Bigfoot. So this photo has been released by NASA.

They say it's a terrifying photo. It's just a rock. It is Bigfoot. It looks like Bigfoot, like a monkey man kind of a thing. Sitting on like a rock, on another rock. No, walking behind the rock. Walking behind it. The reason it looks like a Bigfoot is because it's got this little extension thing that looks like an arm.

It's the classic Bigfoot pose where he's mid-stride. Yeah, he's mid-stride. He's got a real swing on the arm, swing on the leg like that. And almost, yeah, like he's doing a side look like, hey man, no paparazzi. What's that noise? I'm just out here trying to live my life. Can't I holiday on Mars and not be bothered before I head back to wherever I live on Earth? Yeah.

So this photo was taken by the rover, the spirit, rover spirit. Can I holiday on Mars and not be bothered before I head back to wherever I live on Earth? Yeah. Yeah. So this photo was taken by the rover, the spirit, rover spirit, a number of years ago. And it was like this, you know, normal photo that people this week have been zooming in and going, hang on a second, I recognise that. Of course they are. Now that's Bigfoot. Now you have to see the Reddit threads that people are just the conspiracy theories coming out of this photo. Oh my God.

That this is in fact Bigfoot and the reason that we've never been able to find him. It's because he travels interplanetary. How does he survive in the atmosphere? It's Bigfoot, man. It's Bigfoot. He doesn't follow the rules of humans. Stop asking your silly science questions and get on board.

My only question, my only qualm about this is if we have seen Bigfoot on Earth before, we've all seen the photo of Bigfoot in the bush, right? And he's looking at you. Yeah. How did he get there? How did he get to Mars? Now, do you think... He jumped on the rocket that was taking off.

Yeah. And just held on. He's strong. He'd be a strong monkey man. Well, anyway, so we're going to have to deal with that when we move there. Just another regret doing this segment. The proof is in the photo.

The proof is in the photo. The proof is in the grainy, grainy photo. The proof is in this grainy pudding. Okay. Play. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Hello there. Top six ways your classic Kiwi name influences your appearance as you age is the top six.

And it comes from a post from SciPost, which is a website where all sorts of papers, very intense medical papers are printed. Yeah. And this one looked into, is it possible that your face gradually comes to reflect your name as you age? How they did this was they ran a few different studies. Study number one, they gave the participants 117 people, pictures of people and four options for what their name might be

oh yeah yeah yeah vibe check vibe check and they achieved a higher than random result so obviously if there's four options random 25% likely to be correct all the time and apparently in the high 30s people could guess the name

judging by the face then they did it with the same with kids' faces and actual names. Harder. Much lower. Right. Much lower. So then they digitally aged some kids and said, what are their names? And they were slightly more accurate than when they were just judging by kids,

but not as accurate as the people who had lived with that name for that time. Yes, because you grow into it. You become it. So then they took the people, this is, I'm telling you, I've read it and this is the briefest summation I could possibly do. Then they got a bunch of adults

and said, can we get photos of you when you were a kid and attached the same name on it? And that number was also low, indicating that as people age you can work out their name better because they age into their name. You're a Hayley. You're definitely a Hayley.

Yeah, 100% I'm a Hayley. Yeah. I think you're still growing into Carl but you sort of took on a second name. My nickname. You're more Fletch. Yeah. And Vaughan, he's a Vaughan isn't he? You're a Vaughan. I would pick it a mile away. A mile off.

As you say, like, as you're getting older, I'm thinking about my parents are very much a Patsy and a Craig. Yeah, they are. I'd pick it in a moment. My dad could be a Mark. Yeah, he could be a Mark. He could be a Mark. He's not a John, though.

Nah, but he might be a Michael. Yeah, but he'd be Mikey, wouldn't he? Yeah, he'd be Mikey. Because he's cheeky. He'd be Mikey. He's a a John, though. Nah, but he might be a Michael. Yeah, but he'd be Mikey, wouldn't he? Yeah, he'd be Mike. Because he's cheeky. He'd be Mike. Yeah, he's a cheeky boy. Currently rocking a tequila hangover. Oh, no, that was yesterday, wasn't it?

Yeah, I text my dad on Father's Day saying, like, you're the greatest dad. We're so lucky. I love you so much. He just texts back, tequila hangover. I said, have you been at a wedding or hanging out with the gays? He just said the gays. It's a lovely gay couple that live in the village they live in in Italy. Right, they're bad influences. Bad. Bad, those gays, when it comes to tequila and the gays. He just said the gays. It's a lovely gay couple that live in the village they live in in Italy.

But she doesn't have the money to do it. Why is she paying that? She'd do that in her own. I'm not paying that. She'd do that in the laundry sink because it's a big stainless steel sink and the stain doesn't stick. It's stainless steel, 100%.

The stain doesn't stick. Number four on the list of the classic, oh, sorry, the ways your classic Kiwi name influences your appearance as you age. Brian. Short, sizable beer gut and always has reading glasses that he keeps in his top pocket because he's buggered if he can see it. And sometimes if he gets that, he'll have to borrow the missus' glasses.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He buys those ones from, like, the chemist, and he's just got, like, six of them on rotation around the house. Yeah, yeah. Love it. That's Brian, man. Because he loses them all the time because he keeps them in his top pocket, and he'll bend over, and they'll fall out, and he won't even know they've done it. Oh, man. Because he loses them all the time. Because he keeps them in his top pocket and he'll bend over and they'll fall out. And he won't even know they've done it.

Kiwi name influences your appearance as you age. Murray. Murray. Double chin, big ears, and a bit of a waddle from a dicky knee.

Yeah, dicky knee, Murray. He's got to get that replaced, but he opted out of the knee replacement on the private insurance. He's on the waiting list. So he's on the public waiting list. God, yeah. And he's got a couple of things to say about the government too. I bet he does.

Because of how long he's waiting to get this knee replaced. Oh, taxinda. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's the bloody beneficiaries are getting all the good stuff and he can't even get a knee replacement. Number one on the list of the top six ways your classic Kiwi name influences

your appearance as you age. Susan. That's right, Karen. You got off today. Karen's got off scot-free. Oh, they did? Wow. Susan. Siggy Mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Just constantly looks like there should be a Siggy in there. Like a puckered butthole. Yeah.ered, wrinkled round, meets there, good time.

Ciggy mouth, dry hair. Brutal. Brutally dry hair. And not afraid to put a bit of purple makeup on. Not, she loves a purple. Not afraid to put a bit of purple makeup on. And a black polo. Oh, yeah.

Slimming. Yeah, nice. Slimming. Yeah, nice. Slimming. Right, there you go. She loves a chardonnay at the RSA. Of course she does. Yeah. But now she's angry she's got to go outside to smoke.

That's bullshit. It's bullshit. She used to be able to smoke right at the table. That is today's top set. Thoughts and prayers. It's a tough time in Brazil at the moment. They've just shut down X or Twitter. Have they?

The government have. And, you know, spare a thought for all the content creators. How are they going to promote OnlyFans? Oh, my God. How am I going to see their juicy buttocks? I know. I guess we all have to do our part.

And search Brazilian OnlyFans. Accounts, yeah. On our own time. Are you going to be all right? Oh, my God. I'm just so sorry. I know that you were just, yeah. On our own time. Are you going to be alright? Oh my god, I'm just so sorry. I know that you were just going... It's a tough time. Think about our friends like our boys.

Thankfully, ex-Twitter, which by the way I've deleted my account and haven't been off forever, but it's still available in Venezuela, Colombia, and most of Latin America. Okay, so you're okay. Africa's alright. You're okay. Africa's all right.

You're fine. Persia is okay. Persia reports. How's the Middle East, my brother? Well, authorities, police in Rio de Janeiro last week. Thank you for confirming. I wasn't sure which Rio. Rio.

Rio Grande? I've been talking about the Rio Grande or Rio the underwear. Yeah. Oh, my God. Great. Great. You can grab it from the supermarket on the go. Exactly about the Rio Grande or Rio the underwear. Yeah. Oh, my God. Great. Great. You can grab it from the supermarket on the go. Knickers, yeah.

Exactly. You can check yourself in the supermarket. Police swooped in Rio de Janeiro last week, 16 search warrants targeting claw machines. Claw machines? Claw machines. Claw machines? This is the second time police in Brazil, in Rio, have targeted claw machines. They've got big bags of cocaine in them or something.

Apparently gangs, like a lot of the gangs in Rio are behind the claw machines that you see like all over the city. So they're saying they're raiding them because they're rigged. Or there's drugs. They're raiding them because they're rigged. There's no drugs. They did say there were counterfeit toys like plushies. Oh, yeah. Non-licensed Disney products.

But yeah, so they have carried out all these raids not only with the machines stocked with counterfeit plushies but subsequent analysis of the programming of the claw machines

found winning pulls were permitted only after a set number of attempts. I thought that was the deal with claw machines. Like a pokey machine. Well, that's exactly

what they said. So it's like pokey machines, it's like gambling so they're illegal. Oh, right. Wekey machine. Well, that's exactly what they said. So it's like pokey machines. It's like gambling. So they're illegal. Oh, right. Weak fingers. Yeah, weak fingers. I've never won on a claw machine,

ever. I've never picked anything up. I've seen you. I've seen you won that Minions toy. Yep. That time. Did you give it to Fletch?

My greatest claw machine moment, because I love a claw machine. I used to go to a supermarket where we used to live and had a claw machine and it'd stop every time on the way in. Really?

And they are, they can be set to be weak had a claw machine that stopped every time on the way in. Really? And they are, they can be set to be weak, weak clawed. Yeah. I like to say, the term in the industry is limp-wristed.

Yeah. I don't know if it is. The claw's limp-wristed. I don't know if it is. My greatest clawing moment of all time that will never be relived. August 2nd birthday,

we went to Rambo's End. There was a claw machine with frozen toys in it. Okay. And I said, I had $5 and I put it in. Gave me three grabs. Yep.

I grabbed on, number one, closely missed Olaf. Oh, no. Closely missed Olaf. Kids love Olaf. Grab two. Elsa. In the bag. Got it.

Got Elsa in the bag. Grab three. Anna. In the bag. Oh, that's massive work. Handed August. Anna. Handed August, Anna. Handed Indy, Elsa, because the older one always has to be Elsa.

And your wife started crying. And she was like, what about me? I'm Olaf. She's Olaf. Yeah, I'm Olaf. She's got big Kristoff energy. She does. And we walked back, and my kids just thought that's how claw machines worked.

You put money in, you get something out. You always get something out. No. Not at all. They're hard. But, yeah, because of the weak claw. So what's happening to these gangs? Embarrassing, though, for the gangs.

Do you know what I mean? Well, they've just shut them down. It's not like the good old days where gangs were peddling drugs. Yeah, like murdering people and stuff. They're just... I mean, they're still doing that. They're probably actually just using them to launder money. Clean the money. That's actually genius.

That's probably what they're using them for. Where do you get these thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars from? Claw machines, man. No, wait. How are they laundering it, using it? What do you mean, how are they laundering it? Because when you give the money, put the money into an account, you say, where is it from?

You say it's from a claw machine. They're saying tens of thousands of people are using their claw machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And pumping in rolls of 20s. That's right. Everyone that's using a claw machine is pumping in 20s. Silly Little Poe, do you hate watch TV shows or movies? I reckon, do you know who I reckon would be guilty of this? I reckon, do you know who I reckon would be guilty of this? I reckon, do you know who I reckon?

Would be boyfriends who hate watch Kardashians. Kardashians. Below deck. Married at first sight, below deck, who are watching

and be like, oh my God, it's so intolerable. And then they're like, well, what does Stacey do next though? You know? And then they're hate watching.

They're hooked. Yeah, they're hooked. Wow. 74% of people said no. 26% of people said yes, they have. That's still fascinating. Who are these 26%?

Emard's one of them. He says, my friend made me hate watch a lot of Love is Blind. What an atrocious show. Oh, so bad. And that's rich coming from me. I love that.

What one's that one? Where they don't ever see each other, they talk through a wall, get to know each other, and then at the end, they can only get together if they get married. How big is the hole in the wall? Could you fit something through it like an arm?

It's a glorious hole. It's like it's, you know, perfect size. And it's not at eye level either, so there's no sneak peeks. No, no, no, no. It's a kind of bend down. It's not super low. Yeah, it's not feet level

or eye level. Kind of like waist level. Waist, just under. Lauren said, my husband works in special effects. I've had to hate watch several horrors slash thrillers

that I'd normally avoid because he's worked on them and done special effects. Oh, but then you can ask questions like how do they get the blood squirting and what do they make the blood out?

Yeah, what's the perfect blood recipe? Golden syrup. Treacle,? Yeah, what's the perfect blood recipe? Golden syrup. Treacle, yeah. Peter Jackson released the perfect recipe for blood, eh? When he used to do the gory ones. Colouring and treacle because it's thicker. Yeah.

Samantha said, no, I didn't realise this was a thing. Yeah, like, yeah. There are so many great hows about my recommendation for you, Vaughan. I told you you'd like this show. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No. I recommended it to you. No, you didn't. And you started watching it first. No, he didn't. He didn't. Someone recommended it to me. Because I've got Irish accents in it.

Yeah. Ken. And then I said it's on my list, and I told you that people have been very much saying I should watch this. You started first, and then you're trying to claim the recognition. He never wants to give me the glory, does he? I'll give you the glory. What about if I recommended it to both of you

and we'll just call it that? No. Anyway, it's great, isn't it? I finished it last week. The woman in the CUNY New World car park that hit me up, not by saying, hey, Vaughn, how are you, but straight away saying, have you started watching Kin yet? Now that's the woman that I'll always say she recommended it.

Right. I reckon I've worked out why Vaughn's watching it. That's an Now that's the woman that I'll always say she recommended it. Right. I reckon I've worked out why Vaughn's watching it. That's an actress that's in it. 100%. 100%. Yeah, that's right up Vaughn's alley. She needs to be in more scenes.

The best part, she is in season two. Yes, man. Gorgeous. Because I thought Vaughn will like season two. She's gorgeous, but she's got an Irish accent.

Yeah. Not that Irish women aren't gorgeous, but she doesn't look like a stereotypical Irishman. I quite like her. Oh, follow. I wonder if she's been on Air Lingus. Oh, she'll be on the Lingus.

Or how I stick it to Ireland. You've got a Lingus. They do have boats. There are boats. She's better than a boat. I'll say. She deserves it. She's a little dumbed down.

But my point is, there's so much great TV. Like, why watch something crap? Something you hate? Yeah. Manifest says, Stacey, Oh my God is, there's so much great TV. Why watch something crap? Something you hate? Yeah. Manifest says, Stacy, oh my God, I hated it so much, but I need to know what happened. Watched all the season, looked forward to watching the episodes

and hated watching them and teased them the whole way through. What a stupid show. Was that the plain one? Yeah, I started watching and then I read reviews and apparently it got a bit weird and tapped out. Manifest is one of those shows that apparently never did well and then I read reviews and apparently it got a bit weird and... You tapped out. Yeah, I tapped out. Manifest is one of those shows that apparently never did well and then went on Netflix. So I always remember saying like,

Yeah, this cancelled shows, Netflix must watch shows. There's always those articles. And then I think they did another season or something, did they? I don't know. Yeah, well, this woman hated it. This woman's got a name too, I should say it. You're going through like five or six seasons and still hating it? She hated it.

Watch something else. Susie said, fuck too much choice out there. If you and still hating it? She hated it. Watch something else. Susie said, fuck too much choice out there. If you don't like something, stop watching it. Find something you do like. Felicity, ain't got the attention span to hate watch anything. Probably stick to the hate follows there. That doesn't take much time, does it? No, it's a lot easier.

I do it when I'm sick, says Brittany. And I watch sappy hallmarks slash cheesy romance movies with terrible dialogue. Yeah, actually. Actually, yes, me too sometimes. Nicole said, yes, I still hate watching Shortland Street. Oh! Don't be so me!

No! You've got to support the New Zealand television industry. When does that go to three nights a week? Next year? I think next year. Is it after the big cliffhanger? Right. Marguerite says,

Life's too short to waste it on bad TVs and movies. Now, why have you pronounced it Marguerite? It's Marguerita. It's Marguerita or Marguerite. It's M-A-R-G-R-E-E-T. Marguerite. It's Marguerite. I beg your pardon.

I sincerely apologise, Marguerite. What about meerite I beg your pardon I sincerely apologise Marguerite What about me? You should apologise to me Well no I'm just apologising to her Because you said Why are you saying it like that? No I'm apologising to Marguerite

Because that's her name I suggested that her name Wasn't a name And it is a name Marguerite It's her name I'm not apologising to you Ever

Please apologise to me Ever Shannon says I think the three words Emily in Paris Sums up That looks like So many people do hate watching That looks so bad It looks so bad But I'm watching it too Shannon says, I think the three words, Emily in Paris, sums up. That looks so bad. It looks so bad, but I'm watching it too.

I'm watching it. Are you watching it? I just put it on when I'm cooking. You're better than that. I know I'm better than that. I feel like you're better than that show. I just finished Succession. That's how much better I am.

Oh, my God, yeah, that's great. You know, 10 years too late, but it doesn't matter. You got there in the end. I got there in the end. That's a little pun. Well, Air New Zealand last week announced their, like, it's that kind of season where all the companies are like, this is how much we earned.

This is how much we didn't. Yeah. But something that came out of that last week, Air New Zealand is holding $90 million in unused travel credits. So, you know, since COVID, people cancelled their flights. They got a credit. Yeah, but we. $90 million.

I had a big Air New Zealand credit from the COVID time. And you nommed that up, didn't you? I nommed it up. And I just basically felt like I flew for free for a year or so. Because Aaron and I had a big trip planned and it was Air New Zealand and then I just chomped away at it. You don't just leave it sitting there. Well, people are leaving it sitting there.

Qantas, the same. Madness. They had an expiry date on their credits, actually Air New Zealand do as well, the end of December this year. But Qantas came under fire because they had $800 million Australian dollars worth. $800 million? Yep.

That was in 2023. Sacre bleu. I was going to say iCarumba. iCarumba. Yeah. So yeah, apparently Air New Zealand's, the expiry date for Air New Zealand's unused credits is $90 million will be December 26th.

But he said customers have been warned a lot. December the 26th or 2026? The 26th of this December. This year. So apparently, there are people out there with more than $5,000 worth of credits. He said those people...

Go to Australia. Those people have been contacted individually, but yeah, people are being emailed and they're told, hey, you've got this credit, use it. But then I'm guessing, like... Can you gift it? I don't think you can because it's in your name, but, I mean, I guess you'd go to book a holiday

and they're twice as... Yeah, I was going to say, $5,000 credit, take yourself to Christchurch. Just you, though, just you, not the family. Just you. No, not the family, just you. Book a long way out, just you. Not the family. Just you. No, not the family. Just you. Book a long way out. Just you.

Expensive, eh? I mean, if you book out, you can fly. You've got a weekend away. But if you had $5,000, you would. Surely, just in the next month or so, you'd just have a nice little weekend in Australia. You only have to book before the 26th of December, right? So just book something for, like, way next year. Correct.

But then again, like, cost of living crisis, like, even if you... Then you've got to pay for... Then you've got to... But then again, like cost of living crisis, like even... Then you've got to pay for your accommodation when you get there. It's like I'm guessing people are just like, yeah. No, no, no. You just fly there and turn around and fly back. You just enjoy the beautiful Changi Airport. Oh, yeah. That's lovely.

The Doha Airport's gorgeous. Right. Just have like a lunch there and then fly back. An airport staycation. Some of the airports have got Gordon Ramsay restaurants. Do they? You could fly to, say, Doha, have a little Gordon Ramsay. Well, in New Zealand, don't fly there.

Well, fly, where are they going? Singapore or Changi. Yeah, they could go Singapore. Or Changi Airport. Yeah. Incredible. It's got a butterfly garden. It's got a butterfly garden.

It's got a big waterfall, doesn't it? Have lunch, check out the butterflies, come home. It's quite cheap. Ta-da. They did give me an extra bag of chips last week. I thought that was bold in these times. Look at this big boy. He looks like he needs an extra bag of chips.

This boy. Gag him for more chips. Just really salted, though. But it's probably just a load of people that have like a $100 flight here, a $200 flight there. Because I've got a voucher that I need to use by December

and it's there but I always forget. Does it get written off? I think so, yeah. Like if people don't use it by December 26th. I think so, yeah. That's why I've got

expiry dates, right? Because otherwise the company has to hold it as a... Oh, gift cards, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like a debt or a... A debt against the company. Yeah. it as a... Oh, gift cards, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a debt or a...

A debt against the company. Yeah. I've got to account for it. What's your voucher that you've got to use up? It's for a really fancy bar in Auckland where there's actually not... They actually do things a little bit differently. Okay, right.

At this bar. There's no menu and they just ask you what your vibe... They do a vibe check and they make you a drink based on your vibe check. Oh! Is that the place by my place? It is very close to yours. Oh, haven't you spent that voucher? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not a problem. I'm just interested to see what they think my vibe is. So you'd go in and what I love is they'll spin a chair but they'll spin it backwards and they'll straddle the chair. Oh, yeah. That's Lone Star energy. It'll be like, my bros, my bros, how are we going today? What are we feeling?

My sir, I look at you, sir. See, I feel like he's going to spin my vibe, though, because that really makes me feel negatively towards him. Yeah, because you've got big. Because he spun the chair around and he's straddled it backwards. And I'm just like, yeah, this guy thinks he's cool. Looking at you, you've got big Midori energy. I do not.

I was going to say something bright and pink. You look like a mango man. You know, he's going, you look like a little melon man. What are we going to do, melon man? Sounds to me like we're two thirds of the way to a traffic light. Yeah, yeah, right. I wouldn't be mad at a little boozy traffic light. I'll help you spend that voucher.

I need to spend it. I think I've got three weeks. Okay. Okay. I'm here if you need me. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Now we know producer Shannon is married to a magician. Not married to, but you know, maybe one day.

She just looked at me and was like, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Is with a magician. She knows the power of magic. Oh my God. He'll be able to hypnotise her to think they had a really expensive wedding. No need.

We've got just two people there. And in her memory, she'll be like, I had the best wedding day, but it never happened. He mentalised her. Yeah, they just had McDonald's. And saved himself $40,000 in the process. They just had McDonald's.

Yeah. It was like, remember all those people there? Yeah. She's like, yeah. And you were in that beautiful custom gown. It was from Meru or something. Yes. I don't know what that means.

You know that cheap shop, Meru, M-I-R-R-O-U in the mall, and everything's $10 or something. Is that like the female version of Taroukish? It's like new surprise. Is it? It's like modern day surprise. There's a new surprise. Yeah. Do they have my t-shirts? You know I love my daddy's little S-L-U-T

t-shirt. No. You might find one there. Alright. I feel like I got magicked. Now I know you were going to call me out F Fletch, because we hang out with show doctor, Dr. Shawnee on Friday. He joined us for a lovely lunch. Yeah, we had a lunch. We had a

lunch and... I didn't ask him any medical questions. Yeah, and maybe within half an hour I was like, look at the rash. No, so we met Sean off the train and I timed it. We hadn't, just walked around the corner it was less than 50 seconds. You know that I was suffering with a full face rash all last week.

And Hayley said, Dr. Shawnee, can you look at my full face rash? I had a full face rash. It came from nowhere. Which you couldn't see. I know, but it was in the light. It was tiny little dots from forehead to chin. And I don't know where it came from. And I wanted him to have a little look at it

because he likes to look at my rashes. I also wanted to get him to look at something else, but he told me that he wouldn't want to have a look at that. No. He didn't want to have a look at that. He was looking at your skin. And then later you were showing him your imaging scans. And then I got out my scans on my vagina. Jeez. I said, look at my vagina. Now, what do you think of this bit here? Oh, guys,

it's day off. It is his day off. And then he was reading my medical reports. He was really into it, I think. But the strange thing to me was I had this whole face rash last week. Nothing I did worked. Like I was like wearing no makeup. I was putting hydrocortisone on it.

I was doing this, this, this, this. Nothing was working. It was really irritating me. I mentioned it to Dr. Shawnee. We went to lunch, came back to your place. It was gone. Now I'm suspecting some kind of wizardry

here. I'm suspecting some kind of magic. He didn't even touch it. Could it have been the fried chicken we had? No, it wasn't fried chicken. Okay. Was it what? Could it have been your berry bramble? Cocktail? All that your body needed was a little bit of booze. Because you've not been drinking on the weekdays.

And your body is a revolution happening within. It's not happy. I said to Dr. Shawnee, I said, you've healed me. He was like, huh?

And I was like, oh my God, I told you about my rash and now it's already gone. He was like, this is how dangerous health conspiracies start. Yeah, it is.

I thought it was pretty amazing that it's gone, it's completely gone now. And all through the power, I just want to thank, show Dr. Dr. Shawnee for healing it with, I guess, the power of his mind want to thank, show Dr. Dr. Shawnee for healing it with the power of his mind. The power of positive thinking.

You having another booze-free week? Well, no, because Vaughan's just said. I'm the doctor. Look at me. Hey, look at me. I'm listening. I'm the doctor now. I didn't drink all week, and I got a full-face rash.

Well, again, a little berry ramble. And she's back. Rash has gone in an hour. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Let me take you back to a day called Saturday. Saturday the 31st of August, 2024. Oh my God, it's September. It's September.

It's September. It's Blub-Lem-Blam. It's Blub-Lem-Blam. It's the 2nd of September. It's the Blub-Lem-Blam. It's the second of September. It's the Blub-Lem-Bah. Do you know that next month is October? In November. Daylight savings, what, four weekends away?

Just going to get to Christmas. Yeah, and then it'll all calm down. Yeah. So on Saturday night, Sade was going out for dinner with some friends because all of her friends had started to turn 40. Oh. She's an old girl. February. She's 40. Oh. She's an old girl,

February. She's an old girl. She's an old duck. She's an old duck. I'll be looking to trade her in over summer actually so if you're young. Yep.

That's me. Young and hot. That's me. And not you. Oh. I'll be taking applications. So if you're young and hot and not Hayley,

okay. Yeah. What's wrong with me? Also, I'm thinking when I do this again, my second trade-in, my second Mrs. Smith 2.0, do you like going out? If yes, the answer is you need to apply.

Okay. And boy, do you hate spending money? I hate spending money. Then apply within. I'm a frugal homebody, Bill. Are you hot? And are people always asking where you're from? And you say New Zealand, a frugal homebody, Bill. Are you hot? And are people always asking where you're from? And you say New Zealand, and they say, no, like, where are you from?

Originally. Where are your people from? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you racially always confused them? Apply within. Yeah, right. But you've got to be frugal, and you've got to be a homebody. I also don't want any more kids.

So you've got to learn to love my two. Yeah, right. And they're nearly done. To be honest, I don't think anyone fits the bill. I'm just going to go bush. Okay. I'm not getting rid of her. I think she's hitting her straps.

Yeah, man. She's looking great. She's keeping it tight, man. Really keeping it tight. Good for her, man. Please get me back in the good books here. So she was out for dinner with some friends. That cake.

You know what I mean? I smacked it. Yeah, I know. Sometimes I want to, but I know that that's your cake. No, but if... Anyway. You have a little smack of the cake. So she was out with friends and I said to the girls,

my two daughters, if you've just joined the show, I'm Vaughn, I've got two kids, I live on a farm. Fletch and I sound the same, but we live very different lifestyles. We're quirky, we're cute. We've been together for 20 years and this is Hayley. I'm fresh and I'm new and I'm the same, but we live very different lifestyles. We're quirky. We're cute. We've been together for 20 years, and this is Hayley. I'm fresh, and I'm new, and I'm young. She's a woman. Yeah, and I'm a lady.

She's a lady. I do the lady bit. That's all that matters. Boy, boy, girl. That's how it works. That's the recipe. It has to be. Morning radio.

Morning radio. Two women. I'm so down. Oh, God. Calm down. What if they both start menstruating? So, Vaughn here, two children, and I was in charge of them. I don't say babysit because they're my kids.

And if you're ever a father and you say, I had to babysit my kids, smack yourself in the face. They're your children. You're not babysitting. If you ever see a mum out and about, don't ever say, oh, is Vaughn home babysitting the kids? Because that's not. He's the father.

Yeah. I'm just having some time out. So she was having some time out with her friends and I said to the girls, you name it, what do you want for dinner? And they mucked around.

They mucked around and I said, you've now passed the point where we can make it. We've got to get takeaways now, which I think was part of their plan. Yeah, genius. And I said,

what are we getting? Then we had, no one could decide and then we said, is it time for the almighty return of the butter chicken nuggets to the Smith house? Oh my God, because there's an Arnold's now near our houses.

You betcha. There's an Arnold's. So we don't need to travel because this is the thing about butter chicken nuggets. Yep. You've got to order it so they're both ready at the same time. Yes.

Nuggets take less time. Yeah. Now we used to have a bit of a drive to the nonalds, so by the time you got back to the local curry place, of which Hayley and I disagree, because her shitty little village doesn't have any Indians. No food. No Indians.

Well, there's Indians, but there's no Indian food. There's no Indians, actually. There's a big sign on the way in, and it says no Indians. There's Indian food. No, then that's disgusting. We've got the heritage just around the corner from mine. So that's six. We worked out that there's six Indian restaurants.

There's five Indian restaurants in Kewmew, which is my little West Auckland. And one in Riverhead. Shire. And one in Riverhead. So there's six or two more actually. I'm team Sangam. I want to come out and say I'm team Sangam.

Shahi Flavors. Okay. So we go to Shahi Flavors. Okay. So we go to Shahi Flavors. Yeah. And we order the sauce, but we don't need all the chicken and the butter chicken. We just need the sauce. Wait, so do you say

can I get butter chicken just the sauce? This can't be a surprise because I have for years only done sauce and rice. No, just sauce and naan. Yum. It's yum. Yum.

Well, I don't think this guy... Who needs protein? Yeah. There was three of us, and I said, can I get some chicken chilli momo? Did you guys know that there's a dumpling? Yeah, I know momo.

Oh, yum. Okay. Sensational. Yum. Two garlic cheese naans. Yep. Yum, I love cheese naan. It. Yum. I love cheese naans. It's a ridiculous stand-up.

Apologies to Indian listeners, but cheese naans. We've made the most delicious bread. Put butter on it. Okay, we'll put butter on it. Put garlic on it. Okay, we'll put garlic on it. Put cheese on it. Stuff it with cheese.

You've gone too far. You've gone too far. We are an ancient culture with a proud heritage, and you're putting cheese On our bread Afterwards I want one Stuffed with chocolate Listen to me So we get two

Garlic cheese naans The momos And I said And just like a tub Of butter chicken sauce A tub And this guy's looking There's three of us

And I think he's thinking That's not enough For everybody It's not gonna be enough Where's the protein Where's the protein bro And he said You don't want chicken

I said no I don't want chicken If you can't do it Without chicken I I said, nah, I don't want chicken. If you can't do it without chicken, I'll take the chicken. That's fine. Love the chicken. Tandoori. And he's like, what are you doing? And I said, well, tonight at our house, it's butter chicken nugget night. And he's like, what is butter chicken nugget? And I said, it's where you buy butter chicken

sauce, and you put it there. Rice optional. Rice optional. You don't need the rice. You don't need the rice. And then you just dump hot nuggies in them. And then you fork the nugget, you get the nuggies and you drown them in the sauce and you yell it out and then you go, hum, and you eat the chicken

nugget with the butter chicken sauce so you get like the crisp of the nugget. You've got to get it while it's crispy. Don't over soak. Don't soggy cereal this. No dilly-dally. You want the crunch of the nugget completely drained in the butter chicken sauce. Yeah, yeah.

And he just looked at me, and it was almost like the whole restaurant, everyone walking by, record stretch, and they all turned and looked at me. His ancestors came. And he said, and we talked about it for a while,

and I described it in more detail, and he said, sounds like a disgusting miracle ah that's such a good description yeah and I was like that's actually

yeah pretty on the head it's good it's so yum because we did you brought in butter chicken once and we ordered

some nonnies nuggets and you and I Fletch but I don't know that you were were hung over yeah do you remember we'd been to a concert

or something? Yeah. Unbelievable. It was just what we needed. It is incredible. Because at our house, it was a mistake the first time it happened. There was leftover butter chicken. Yep.

And you accidentally dropped the nuggets. And then the girls were just like, what will that be like? Yeah. Delicious. So someone else, people messaging in, hear me out. Butter chicken loaded fries. Say no more. I mean, in the UK, they do curry sauce on chips,

but a butter chicken sauce with fries. And then cheese, maybe some bacon bits, some sour cream. This guy putting bacon bits in a butter chicken sauce. You've taken it too far. Well, you're talking sort of a loaded fries. No, you're doing a wedge. I'm doing loaded wedges. But a bit of a poutine vibe. Yeah.

But the gravy's butter chicken. Or a pile of loaded nuggets. Okay. Because that could do with some cheese. What about like a nugget fries salad? Toss, toss, toss. Yep. With any curry sauce over the top.

Because butter chicken is nice, but I only get it because that's what the kids can do. No, no, I love it. I'd go with a vindaloo. Oh, yeah. You could just not get anything. Delicious korma. Korma, creamy korma, creamy korma. I like butter chicken.

Oh, someone said butter chicken fries have actually been a staple at Auckland Uni for over a decade in the food halls. Have they? Historically. Oh, my gosh. Amazing. Pleased to see it.

Well, there you go. There should be condiments. You know, you can pump, pump, pump the tomato sauce, pump, pump, pump the mustard, pump, pump, pump. Butter chicken sauce. Butter chicken sauce. Yum. It's amazing.

Yum. Get it done. Next on the show, we need to talk about the cutest couple at the Paralympics and the Olympics. Everyone's following them on socials. Punjabi poutine is a thing! It's a thing! It's a thing!

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Everyone is utterly obsessed with Tara Davis-Woodle, who is, she was in the Olympics. She's a long jumper and she won gold. She won gold. We never did long jump like that at school. We just ran right up

to the thing and then we're like, ugh. But they do the big like skip, skip, skip. That's hop, skip, jump. That's triple jump. You're describing triple jump.

Long jump, still long jump. Is it? Yeah, you're describing triple jump. Triple jump's a bit weird. Which we used to call the hop, skip, jump. Right. I know, man, they were describing triple jump. Oh, triple jump's a bit weird. Which we used to call the hop, skip, jump. They just all... I know, man, they can fly.

Yeah. It's insane. So Tara Davis-Woodle, she won gold, and everyone followed her because she did it, blah, blah, blah, did a big jump. Woo-hoo, gold, gold, gold. And she runs to the crowd, and she runs to the arms of her husband,

whose name is Hunter. And he is a Paralympian who is now running, I believe. I think Hunter Woodall, he's a runner. Runner. Sprinter. Gotcha. So he sprints, right? So he's in the Paralympics now and everyone's following

because now she's supporting him and he supported her through the Olympics and now she's been supporting him through the Paralyics and it's really cute and their couple goals and they went on social media because everyone's been following them being like who was this cute couple and then tara and hunter were like oh my god we train together all the time and then we drive to practice together and we really like each other and i was like wow marriage eh that's like every waking up of the day together. I require a little more space. But it's really cute. So they're basically

working together, right? They've trained together this whole time. They've both made it into the Olympics and Paralympics and it's cute. It's real cute. So he's in the men's 100 metre on September 1st, which is happening right now,

basically, in Paris time. Yeah, may have already happened. And then again the next day, and she's there supporting him because, you know, that's cute. Anyway, I was like... You'd almost need to, with that intense level of training, you would need someone that understood it, right? Kind of.

So that's why I think athletes with athletes work is they understand what it takes, because if you were an athlete and you were with somebody who was just like, why aren't you home with me? Or why don't we get butter chicken and dip nugs in them? You're like, because I'm trying to prepare for the Olympics. Yeah, it's got everything you need. Fast protein.

This photo of him mid-jump. Like she hauls through the air. She's amazing. And he's amazing too. But yeah, you would need someone that understood your schedule. Understood the intense nature of it. Maybe. It's amazing. And he's amazing too. But yeah, you would need someone that understood your schedule. Understood the, yeah, the intense nature of it. Maybe. It's a little much for me.

And this is why I wanted to get some calls in and some messages from our listeners. Do you work with your partner, your husband or your partner or your girlfriend, your boyfriend? Well, a lot of people meet at work. Exactly. And like, how is it? Is it a positive thing? Maybe they're your boss. Maybe they're in like a superior, you know, position than you are.

Or you used to be. And it wasn't a positive thing because it ended. Because you saw each other every minute of the waking day. I know. I like to leave the house, you know. You don't know what you've got till it's gone. And then you come home and you're like, okay, I've had a bit of space. It's still here.

Yeah. Still here? I reckon I'm going to put a parking lot over this place. Anyway, this is what I want to know is like, was it successful? Is it a strange experience? Or maybe you really love it working with your partner. Give us a call. 0800 DALES at Emerson number.

You can text through 9696. Do you work with, like, do you have the same job as your partner? Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There's a cute Olympic couple. One's in the Olympics, one's in the Paralympics.

In the Olympics? Yeah. They're both in the Olympics and it's really, really cute. Now, Brooke, you work with your partner. Hi, yeah, I do.

So I'm an early childhood teacher and she used to be a teacher but has now changed to the administrator. Right. And we met at the workplace, but for us it works really well.

I mean, we've got kids, and if one of them's away sick, we just say to the boss, hey, you know, who can you miss for the day sort of thing, and they're really understanding, and we'll often send her home with the kids. And you've got the double greatness there of really indoctrinating those kids with the gay agenda. Pretty much, yeah.

Yeah, get the man. We're getting your kids and we're making them gay agenda friendly. That's great. It works well for us. There's other perks. If I'm doing a mat time and I need some resources, I'll say, hey, can you print this for me or laminate this for me?

And she's always happy to do it. But what if you're having an... You forgot the secret word. What if you're having an argument and she doesn't want to laminate your stuff? Then I guess I'll just do it myself. How do you keep your personal life out of it? I mean, that's what I would struggle with.

We had a fight the night before. I'd be like, hmm. Yeah, there have been times where I'll just kind of keep my distance and stay down the other end of the building. We're not really friends today. Love that. Amazing, Brooke. Thank you. Jenna, you work with your partner?

Yes, I do for about two years now. We work for Toyota New Zealand, and, I mean, it's great. We don't really have any downfalls that much. Really? So do you live together, obviously? Yes, and we have a child. Live together, have a child. Do you go to work together?

Yes, we also commute an hour every day. Oh, wow. Good morning, because, you know know you guys are a lesbian station. Oh, another lesbian. We're in the hat trick of lesbians right here. Yeah, Vaughn's a big fan of the lesbians. Vaughn and I are big fans of me as a station. It's mutual.

It's mutual. It's symbiotic. It's a symbiotic relationship. Wait, so when you spend this much time together, though, you live together, you drive in this commute together, then you work together, then you drive in the commute home, and then you're living together. Do you ever run?

What are you talking about? What are we talking about? What's for dinner tonight? It's Hayley's worst nightmare. I require a little space. It works for you. That's beautiful. Do you ever blame your partner for the airbag recall? The latest airbag recalls

and stuff? Every now and then there'll be a big brake recall. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think my car got recalled. I was like, meh. Yeah. Jenna, thank you. Some more messages in.

Apes. We didn't ask what they were driving. That big Toyota. Oh, the wife or the partner was in the car. No, it's got to be a Mazda BT50. No, no, no, no. It's not because they were in a Toyota. Not everyone who drives a No, it's got to be a Mazda BT-50. No, no, no. Not everyone who drives a Toyota is a Toyota. It's got to be a Corolla.

I know the BT-50 is the chosen youth of the lesbian nation, but they work for Toyota. Jenna, what are you driving? A Toyota Corolla. A Corolla. It's a sensible car. It's a sensible lesbian car. Thank you.

Guess out the BT-50. It's the chosen youth of the lesbians and us. Mum and Dad have been married for 50 years and have worked together for 28 of them. Oh, wow. That's it. I met my husband at work 18 years ago, worked together for somebody else,

worked together for their husband, but when I got made redundant, he was the one that didn't do it. Oh, my God. Hey, babes. Oh, my God, imagine that. Hi, my love. Come on in.

First of all, We're screwed. Sorry in advance. Also, we're screwed. We'll get takeaways tonight. Will you get some money? No, we're not getting takeaways. We're broke. Oh, we're broke.

We're in big trouble. Somebody else said, oh, my husband and I bought a business and we were working together but I saw a side of him I didn't like. Oh, wow. Left the business because I wanted to put our marriage first.

Got a job 16 years later. Still in that job. Still together. He's still doing that business. Yeah, because you're different, right, at work? Kind of have to be. It's like at work

I'm sort of like fun and jovial. Oh. What? What? No, I'm a bitch at home. Oh. Jesus, are you a bitch at home? I'd hate to see it.

Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. As far as they yesterday. It was. What'd you get? I got a personalized bottle of whiskey. It's got my name on it. Oh, I've seen those. How'd your kids find that?

That's crazy. Great fake IDs. And mustaches. Yeah. I would like to buy this hair bottle of whiskey. And then went on August's shoulders because August's got the baby a face and then he put the makeup on

and then the trench coat. Yeah. Oh, right. Well, that makes sense then. No, Charlotte took care of it. Well, she's not your daughter. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, that's weird.

I got a card and it had a chicken on the front in high-vis and work boots. That's cute. That was cute. And a lottery ticket that did not win anything. Yeah. And a cake.

It's a useless piece of paper. You got a cake. A cake that looked like BB-8 from Star Wars. And your family goes all out. Yeah, that's full on, eh? Yeah. I just called Dad. We've never gone that hard.

Yeah, I text my Dad. Yeah, call, text, and yeah. Yeah. I called my Dad and when he answered, we were wearing exactly the same clothes. Aww. Yeah, it's happening. You're your Dad. Yeah he answered, we're wearing exactly the same clothes. Yeah, it's happening. It's totally happening. A fine man to turn into.

So part of Father's Day was we went out to lunch with Sade's dad, who I've talked about a lot on the show. How's his karaoke going? How's his recording career? Fantastically. Will he ever do a concert of sorts? Share these songs? I've always said he should do a duet with Hayley.

Oh, no, he very much wants to sing with Hayley. I think he should open for me when I do my next show. Oh, my God, he would love that. As the crowd's coming in. I thought when we last did FVH Live, he should have opened for us. Yes! But he was away.

Oh, okay. But if we ever do it again, he could definitely open for us. You know, he was away. Oh, okay. But if we ever do it again, he could definitely open for us. You know, just jump in with a thousand people. Why not? Yeah, yeah. You get straight in there. Yeah.

Sing a song or two. No, that's going well. He's recording lots of songs. Okay. So we went out for lunch. We went to Yum Cha. It was great. I haven't had a Yum Cha for a little while.

I haven't had Yum Cha since we did it as a show about three years ago. It's so good. So we went to yum cha. Halfway through, he announced to the table that it was very kind of us to take him out for lunch and take care of the bill. Yeah. He established at that stage that we were paying right. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Just before he ordered more things. Yeah, yeah. That was just before he got the tripe off the trolley. Okay. And so he said that and then because he was on the other side of the table, very hard of hearing,

which is wild. He was an audiologist for his entire life. If you're in Hamilton and you know someone who's had a hearing aid, chances are he fitted it to them. Right.

He did it forever but refuses to get hearing aids. Well, they cost money. Yeah, of course. He does not like spending that money. As established with, we're all going out for Father's Day. And I know it's Father's Day, so we were probably going to pay anyway. I just found it funny that he really assumed halfway through

that he wanted us to know we were paying 100%. And it was at that stage that Sade said to me, guess I'm going to have to get that money out of my OnlyFans account. To pay the bill. To pay the bill. Yeah. As a joke, she doesn't have an OnlyFans as far as I know. And we have joked about setting up my OnlyFans account. To pay the bill. To pay the bill. Yeah. As a joke, she doesn't have an OnlyFans as far as I know. And we have joked about setting up an OnlyFans in this cost of living crisis.

Yeah. We've all thought about it. We're really trying to find our niche. Yeah. It's no niche. Yeah. I don't want to do face. Feet.

You want to do feet, don't you? Feet. Pretty good feet. Or obscure things. Obscure angles. No, no. Like obscure acts. Weird stuff. Okay, weird stuff.

So Sade said, I guess I've got to get that money out of the OnlyFans account. And that's when Indy looked at Indy, my daughter, who's 12, looked at us and was just like, She knows what OnlyFans is? And I looked at her and was like, what? And she's like, what? And I was like, do you know what OnlyFans is? And she's like, yeah, I've heard of OnlyFans. I know all the dealers with OnlyFans. Of course they have. And then August was like, what? And she's like, what? And I was like, do you know what OnlyFans is? She's like, yeah, I've heard of OnlyFans.

I know all the dealers with OnlyFans. Of course they have. And then August is like, what are you guys talking about? 10. Yeah. Mum's got an OnlyFans account. I've got a photo of August's face. I know.

It's so good. Which, obviously, she's just like. And that gasp was held long enough looking around the entire restaurant that I had time to get my phone out and take a photo of this ongoing gasp. But no, we established mum doesn't have an OnlyFans account. It's just a joke. But they knew. It's just part of like.

Zeitgeist. The zeitgeist, yeah. Pop culture is at the point where. 100% they know about it. Yeah. Just watching videos and someone mentions it. Just talking about it. Yeah. Just watching videos and someone mentions it. Just talking about it. But it is mentioned a lot in both actual and comical terms.

Yes. It's very much part of. And it's just one of those things like you remember when you were a kid and your parents found out you knew about stuff and it was just because somebody had an older brother or sister at school and they came and they told you. Sky one after midnight. Yeah. Red Shoe Diaries.

Emmanuel. Hello. Hello. Emmanuel and Paris. Sky One After Midnight Red Shoe Diaries Emmanuel Yeah hello Hello Emmanuel in Paris Was David Duchovny Doing Red Shoe Diaries At the same time That he was doing X-Files

I don't know So bizarre Sky One After Midnight What a What a way to learn About the world They'll never know They'll never know

The modern generation Will never know about Not being able to Rewind the cassette Just having a fast forward So you have to Flip it over Fast forward it And flip it over, fast forward it,

and flip it back. Yeah. And they'll never know the joys of staying up late and watching Sky 1 after midnight. So did you discuss any further with the girls? No, we just really said, of course she doesn't. But did they believe that? Yeah, I think so.

Okay, good. Yeah. Good to know. But if you do have any suggestions, if you are OnlyFans If you are an OnlyFans And you've seen it Like a big area not being covered Yeah right

What is the unique selling point? Do you remember that guy I wanted to pay my friend to blow balloons up Yeah that's what I mean That's like easy Sade's got a very great face She could do stuff like that Without getting her ta-tas out

The more niche kink I think The more you get paid you know Yeah totally I'm willing to blow up a balloon get paid, you know? Yeah, totally. I'm willing to blow up a balloon or two. Because you know I've got great lungs. I can blow up water balloons and the long skinny ones. See, I'm terrible. My cheeks get sore and I'm afraid of balloons popping. So I blow them very small.

I blow them big. I blow them hard. Well, I blow them small, but that could be my niche. Fletch, how do you blow them? Medium. On OnlyFans. See, we're covered. Small, medium, large. Large, perfect. Perfect. Next on the show.

I need your help, guys. I'm employing you. I'm not going to say yes just yet. Okay. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. As you know, I've talked about this before, that I got my marriage celebrants license in 2021 for my friends.

And it took three years for them to get married because COVID. Yeah. And every year you had to renew it? Every year you renew it, but you pay like a big fee at the top and then your renewal fees, you know, I think it was like $80 or something a year. And you just fill in a little form and it's very simple. So finally last year I got to do it and I

really enjoyed it but it was a lot of pressure and I thought, yeah, I'm done. One wedding. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am, I'm done. I don't want to do anymore. So I stupidly in October last year let mine lapse. And now I've been asked to officiate two weddings.

Two of my closest friends and my brother. So I've got to do it again. Why didn't you say no? Um, I don't know how. Okay, well, you've come to the right guy. No, no, this isn't why I'm helping you. This is why I want your help. But you don't want to be working at your friend's

wedding. I do, I really do. Or your brother's wedding. Yeah, that'd be nice. It'd be nice to do it. Now you get out of the way, you're not even at your friend's wedding. I do. I really do. Or your brother's wedding. Yeah, that would be nice. It would be nice to do it. Now you get out of the way. You're not even seeing your brother's wedding. Exactly. Which is the harder job. You get it out of the way.

You get the ceremony out of the way. I do 15 minutes and then I'm getting on the turps. I want a couple of shampers beforehand. 100% loosen up. Loosen the goosen. I'm loosening the goosen. I know everyone there. It's all good.

Yeah. So I was like, I've got to get my marriage celebrants license. And it's been on my to-do list for about six months because my friends asked me ages ago. Their wedding's February. My brother's is probably later in the year. I've got to do it. And then we were having a few little drinky-poos on Friday evening at your place, Fletch. And one of our lovely friends mentioned that he's going to become a marriage celebrant.

Big hearted James. Big hearted James. Big hearted James. And he needed one more reference because you need to get these like huge character references done. Yeah. So he asked me if I would do it because he was like, you know, people, well, one, you're extremely famous and popular. And so maybe they'll recognize your name, you know,

and they'll be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, fame. Whoa, whoa, whoa, I know her. Of course. From Golden Boy, that sitcom. And all those cancelled TV shows. And all those cancelled TV shows. She's almost a curse on TV. After cancellation, after cancellation. Although, to be fair, Taskmaster

hasn't been cancelled yet. Well, we'll see. Season ends this week. And then let's see. Anyway, so he asked me to be a character reference and I have been, I've started it this morning while I was doing the show. You know what? AI could do this for you.

No, I'm not. You know how I feel about AI. Well, here's the thing, right? Because I said oh my god, yes. And then one of our other friends mentioned that it's a really busy time for marriage celebrants. And so if you need to get your license, you've got to go quick. So I was like, oh, I've got to get into mine.

So I would love, because you need someone who knows you for at least one year and can talk to your abilities as a marriage celebrant and why you would be good at it. But you've already had this. Can't they just look in the system

and just redo it? No, because they let it lapse. It's a full re-application the government. And you have an interview and it's awful. So anyway, why I'm asking you guys here on air if you would be my character references

and just to make sure that this is going to be successful. You've got to write a one-page letter about me. I'm not. Can you write the letter and I'll sign it? No, because they'll know. It's got to be. I'm reading that because I'm doing James's now. The criteria has to be in their own words.

And if it's too similar to another one. Tell me what you need. Talking about my successful speaking abilities. I need to talk about her successful speaking abilities I need to talk about her successful speaking abilities My ability to mix humour and sincerity She won't be drunk Put that down And my promise to not be intoxicated while performing the ceremony

Promise not to be intoxicated And maybe mention that I've successfully married a couple before and I did the paperwork. I've done the paperwork. I've done it. I've seen it. Okay, well if you're going to use AI, Fletch, just while he's getting there, what kind of things would you say about me? This isn't me just trying to get compliments. Feels like she's thumbing in some compliments. It really feels like

you're thumbing in her own compliments. I'm not fishing. I need you. I would say something like, I'm not good at this. You know I'm not good at this. You would say things like. I would say she's really good with a crowd. Great. She's great with a crowd.

So you would say, hello, my name is Carl Fletcher. I'm writing in support of Hayley Sprouse's application to become an independent marriage celebrant. I'll write that bit for you. Thank you. She's really good with a crowd. Yep. She is.

She dresses nice. She'll put on a lovely frock. She'll put on a lovely frock. Yeah, great. She'll put on a lovely frock. She'll put on a lovely frock. Yeah, great. She'll thumb in a couple of jokes. Yep, and has a sunny disposition. Perfect. To whom it may concern, I am delighted to provide a character reference by Hayley Jane Sproul.

I am Vaughan Smith. In her application to become a marriage celebrant, I've known Hayley for several years and can attest to her exceptional skills and admirable qualities that make her the perfect candidate for this role. This is amazing. This is scarily good, isn't it? Hayley possesses remarkable speaking abilities, which have been evident in various settings. Her eloquence and command of language ensure that she communicates with clarity and impact. Whether she is delivering a speech or leading a ceremony, Hayley's presentations are always engaging and well-structured.

This is perfection. Her previous experience as a marriage celebrant during which she officiated two weddings garnered rave reviews from clients who praised her professionalism and her heartfelt nature on these ceremonies. One of Hayley's greatest strengths is her unique ability to blend humour with sincerity.

This skill allows her to connect deeply with her audience while maintaining a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. This is so much better than the letter that I have been thinking about and handwriting for Big Hearted James. I just do it for everything. Man, AI is good.

That's so good. Can you just forward that to her? Her ceremonies are marked by a genuinely personal touch seemingly incorporating lighthearted moments with profound reflections which undoubtedly contribute

to the memorable experience she creates for couples and their guests. It's perfect. No word if she'll be sober though. Wait, I'm getting there. She is known for her strong sense of responsibility and integrity, and she has assured me of her commitment

to upholding the highest stands of conduct, including her promise to remain sober and focused throughout the ceremony she conducts. Her dedication to ensuring that every ceremony is conducted with the utmost respect and professionalism speaks volumes about her character. God, Ayo is good. In summary, Hayley Jane Sproul is a person of great skill,

integrity and dedication. I wholeheartedly support her application for the renewal of her marriage celebrate license and am confident she'll continue to excel

and bring joy to those who have the privilege of a chair. Man, it's good. It's scarily good. That took you 30 seconds. I've been working on James's thinking about nice, like genuinely

reflecting on him and then putting it into words. What a waste of my time. That's what I'm saying. We'll work smarter, not harder. But you can imagine a teacher being like, oh, Jade, and you didn't write that. You know, like teachers in a government department just ticking boxes. Like you said before,

ugh, government. They just need to tick boxes. Oh, this is perfect. Well, I'm available for hire again once I get a letter like that going. That to you. Right now, feel free to add in anything on my behalf. Oh, thank you very much. Fact of the day is next.

What's our theme this week, Vaughan? The Paralympics. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's going to be Paralympic facts all this week as the Paralympics kick off. We've got two silvers and a bronze. Awesome. I'm all up already.

Yeah, yeah. Cycling, athletics, one of our very talented athletes set a record at the weekend too. Oh my God. It's a hell of a good time in the Paralympics. But the Paralympics is, I thought for the first day

of the Paralympics facts this week, we're going to look at the history of the Paralympics and how it started. Okay. Well, Dr. Ludwig Gutmann was a Jewish doctor that escaped Germany just before World War II.

And at the behest of the British government, he opened a spinal injury centre at a hospital called the Stoke Maidville Hospital for rehab of World War II veterans that were coming back with injuries. World War I, a lot of World War II veterans. They were coming back with injuries. World War I, a lot of injuries sustained, dead. Yeah. But medical advances meant that a lot more people were surviving war

and having life-changing injuries, amputations, all manner of things, spinal injuries, everything. So in 1944, he set up a spinal injury center. And at the time, he said when it got to a certain part, these men, the best rehab for them was sports. Yeah. Light versions of the sports. But they didn't want to go home and do the same.

You know what it's like when you go to the physio and they're like, when did you go home and do this stretch for 15 minutes a day? This has made my life. You do it until it stops hurting. And then you're like, I will never do that again. And then the injury comes back because you didn't do it until it stops hurting and then you're like, I will never do that again. And then the injury comes back because you didn't do it. And this guy found out that Ludwig Gutmann found out that if you gave men sports that they had played previously or were familiar with,

they would do them more regularly for their rehab. But adapted versions. Yeah, adapted versions. So July 1948, the opening ceremony of the London 1948 Olympic Games. Goodman, the doctor, organised the first competition for wheelchair athletes, not as part of the Olympics, but just to coincide with the opening of the Olympics. 16 injured servicemen and women took part in archery from wheelchairs. Okay.

Yeah. So then it wasn't until 1960 that the first official Paralympic Games took place. Before that, they were known as the Stoke-Madeville Games, named after the hospital where the rehab unit was set up. Yeah. And the games mostly happened on the grounds of the hospital, things like archery, et cetera. But in 1960, the first Paralympic Games took place, 400 athletes from 23 countries,

and it all was off the back of how many countries had servicemen and women after World War II with life-altering injuries. Oh, wow. That meant that they couldn't compete on an equal playing field with those able-bodied athletes, but wanted to, and so continued to partake in the sports. And that's how the Paralympics started up. Oh, my gosh.

And in 1976, the first Winter Paralympics started up. Oh my god. And in 1976 the first Winter Paralympics Games took place in Sweden. So... Great stuff. I always say winter takes a little bit longer to get on board with sorts of things. But it did happen. Very bloody cold. Very bloody cold. So today's fact of the day is the Paralympics

started because a doctor was rehabbing so many people with injuries after World War II. 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. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan Ailey. Play ZM. Have you guys ever moved for someone? Moved cities? Moved towns?

No. Moved countries? Neither. I wouldn't. You move. You move. You move. I am where I am.

Wait, you're saying if you found, if you met a hot Italian and you were single or a hot Irishman and it was going somewhere. I will move for love. Yeah, you would. I wouldn't move around New Zealand, though. God, no. You know, you move.

I am where I am. But yeah, if an Irishman or an Italian or whatever. Yeah, but what if the Irishman lived in, I don't know, where wouldn't you want to live? Invercargill. What if the hot Irishman lived in Invercargill? You move. Come up here, you silly Irishman.

I feel like you wouldn't care. You'd be there. Maybe. It depends. How big is he? Anyway, how cute is he? He's like 7'5". I'm moving to Invercargill.

No wonder he lives in Invercargill. They've got the wide roads so they can accommodate this giant. His strides. His strides. His strides. The reason I want to talk about moving for love is because I didn't realise this, but Tokyo had a, it was a government idea, where they were trying to woo Tokyo women to go into rural areas and be part of dating nights and single, excuse me, single nights.

And they were giving them cash payouts and train tickets in the hope that they would woo women into marrying these rural men. Right, because obviously they've got a big problem in Japan with the declining population. Yeah, people aren't getting married and they're not having children. And they're just not even meeting other people. Yeah, they're just staying single. And then, like in Japan, that's not great.

It's all about like family and legacy. I'd go on a date for $4,000. You don't have to do anything, right? I would too. For $4,000 and you don't have to do anything? You just go home and you've got $4,000. Sweet. Is that how much it is?

600,000 yen to NZD? Yeah. Born Alan Smith. Yeah Yeah get that NZD Get that NZD 6 and a half K 6 and a half thousand dollars they would pay you to go And Wait that is

Is it just on a date Or is that if you marry them Well I think it was just to go And be part of these matchmaking things. Oh my God. Because Japan was also the one that introduced...

No, no, no. If you got married and settled outside of Tokyo. That would be... That's actually a lot of money to get for that. Yeah. That wouldn't even cover the wedding.

They shouldn't have to cover the wedding. In the baby's first three years. But they also paid you to go to these events as well. I mean, how fun. And it is. It's because these rural men are just isolated

and women don't want to be living in these, like, I'll say it, shitty areas. I mean, how fun. And it is. It's because these rural men are just isolated and women don't want to be living in these like, I'll say it, shitty areas. You know, they want to live somewhere cool. They want to live in Tokyo. They want to live in the cool city

and the hustle bustle. Yeah. But that's not for everybody. Yeah. It's a big city. No, exactly. But I want to know because I'm a city dweller.

I can't ever imagine doing this, moving somewhere rural and sitting on my husband's farm while he was out doing the farm stuff. That's like Vaughan's dream. That's literally Vaughan's dream. Well, those scones aren't going to make themselves sweeter. Well, I mean, if you're not out on the farm,

if you're with me helping, no scones required. But if you're just sitting around home, I've got to keep you out of the booze cabinet. No, I'll be pregnant. That's what you want. Pregnant making scones Yeah a pregnant woman can make scones Oh god

Anyway this is what I want to know is Have you moved somewhere Not great A bit rubbish For love Like somewhere where you were like Ew I would never live there And then you fell in love and went

Well I guess I live And now you're living there I guess I live there now This happened to a friend of mine She moved overseas to the UK. Yeah. And like was doing the big London thing. And then she met someone while she was on like a Croatia, you know.

Was he a Kiwi? I love when people go to London and meet another Kiwi. You're just like, what are you doing? He was Welsh. Okay. And she was like, I could go to Wales. And he lived in like the dumbest, smallest, lamest village. And she was like. Did it have one of those big long lived in the dumbest, smallest, lamest village.

And she was like. Did it have one of those big, long names with no vowels? Yeah, or too many vowels. Too many vowels. Yeah, that's a terrible Welsh. I don't know what that was. But in the end, she was just like, get me out of this hellhole. I'm not living in a small town in Wales. Did he move out with her?

No, no, she left him. Oh, she left him. Oh, wow. Okay. It just didn't work. But this is what I want to know. Have you moved for love? And did you move somewhere

Have you moved for love somewhere undesirable? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We're talking about moving for love. Where you went to Japanese initiatives. It's been scrapped now, eh? They were trying to get city girls. No one wanted to do it.

The Tokyo girls were just like, we don't want to move to the farm. Was that still waiting for Gwen Stefani to come back? Yeah, or the Harajuku girls. Harajuku station. Yeah, that's right. We're waiting for our queen, Gwen.

What we're waiting for. Yeah, Gwen. Gwen. So we want to know when you moved for love and maybe to somewhere less than desirable. According to you.

I moved to, I'll tell you what, Hamilton's getting a lot of love aggression. Well, it's an hour away from everything. That's a phrase I've just coined. Loveagration. It's like immigration.

Oh, you loveagration. Loveagration. It's great. Moved to Hamilton from big city Canada to be with my girlfriend. Came here in 2003. Last came here in 2003 on a Kentucky tour. Hamilton was on none of the stops on that Kentucky tour, so I was interested to see what it held. Is it on a stop now?

No. No. Because you'd go round to Waitomo Caves and then back to Hobbiton, down to Rotorua, across to Tupou, Central Plateau. Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip Wellington. Yeah. I bet they stay in New Plymouth. Beautiful.

I wouldn't be so sure. El Capitan. Moved from Sydney 20 years ago with my Kiwi wife to Hamilton. Hamilton! So many! So many everywhere. Moved London to Waiuku. I wasn't finished with the Hamilton story.

Yeah, I'm sort of done with Hamilton. Shut your face. Moved to Hamilton. My wife moved the mother-in-law with us. Marriage was dead within three years. Now I'm stuck in Hamilton on my own if I want to see my kids. No, you can let... That's a thing.

One of these kids is a bit of an anchor there. Yeah. I fell in love in Colorado Springs. Oh, beautiful. Had to come back to New Zealand to renew my visa. When I moved back, I found out I had a wife and another girlfriend. What? That was in Utah.

That's me. Big Utah energy there, Colorado Springs. So they thought they were moving somewhere nice. England to Hamilton. Thank you very much, Hamilton. Moved from Cheltenham in the Cotswolds. Oh, lovely. To Chartwell in Hamilton.

Oh, my God. Is Hamilton just made up of people who were lured in with honey traps? Maybe. Locked in with kids or a mortgage. They can never leave Hamilton. It's made up of people who were lured in with honey traps. Maybe. Locked in with kids or a mortgage. And they can never leave Hamilton. It's a trap. That's why it's thriving. Yeah.

Somebody said, I moved to regional Victoria from Melbourne. It was a big city. It was a city girl, a two-hour drive. And where I moved to was a two-hour drive to the city. It was a shock to the system. But I guess they're back. Or they're here now because they're listening live. And they're texting in.

I moved from Paris to Hamilton. Another person moved from Paris to Hamilton. Oh, my God. Are there any Hamiltonians in Hamilton? No. Or is it just people moving there for love? They've all left. They all came to Auckland.

That's kind of the thing. It's like how South Africans come to New Zealand to get into Australia. Yep. People go to Hamilton to get into Auckland. It speaks to the quality of the Hamilton locals, though, doesn't it? We're a bunch of hotties. You're a bunch of tens. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're a burly. We're a good bit of burly. Yeah. Especially for those Europeans. Oh, yeah, they love you. Yeah. I thought we established that New Zealanders were mingers. Because remember we were saying...

It's a microclimate of hotties. Of hotties. Yeah, not mingers like the rest of the country. I'm from Dublin and I moved to Palmerston North. Oh, wow. Still here but now single. We have a single Irish lady in Palmerston North. Is it a lady?

We need a haliback to get her. Are we sure it's a lady? Could be a gentleman. In Hayley's imagination it's a seven foot tall Irishman. We've got a hot Irish person and we need a haliback then from Palmerston North to Hamilton. Let's get them up to Auckland. Let's have a look at them before we send them to Hamilton.

The Westpac rescue helicopter lowers down a winch. It is a rescue. It's a life-threatening rescue. I moved from sunny Marlborough to a tiny town called Dipton, which is an hour out of Invercargill. Great place to buy a load of tickets. Where's Dipton? It's on the road between Invercargill and Queenstown.

It's the only time I've been through Dipton. I don't believe I've been. Lovely little spot there. And I went home for a holiday because I had been there for three months. I was only 18, missed my family. Found out he was sending explicit stuff to a mutual friend. Oh, okay. That was the end of Dipton.

That's disappointing, isn't it? I moved for love from beautiful Wellington to the much less desirable Palmerston North. Never thought I'd leave the big city to live in rural Palmy, but here I am. Nobody's messaging about my hometown of New Plymouth, are they? My home city. Interesting.

Because when people from New Plymouth leave, it's generally on community detention. And they're putting up rubbish on the side of the road. It's hard to meet them. It's hard to stop. Okay. It's hard to stop and meet them. And if you do meet one out and about, they might be in Auckland for a big trip to the dentist.

And they've got no tea. This guy. And they've got all the injections, so they've got a very numb mouth. Which is why they can't find love. You're not drawing them in. You're upsetting drawing them in. I shall come back with me to New Plymouth. It's a beautiful area. You're upsetting the people.

Ah, ah. Get away from me. Toothless meth fiend. I will not have you speak about my hometown like that. Yeah. I would love New Plymouth. Echoing the sentiment. I moved from Sweden to Te Amutu, which is just out of Hamilton. So you almost hit the bullseye

after falling in love with an exchange student. So a New Zealander from Te Amutu goes to Sweden. How's that? That's a minger amongst the pigeons. And then somehow Lou is a Swedish...

Among the pigeons. Lou is someone back to Te Am Moodle of all spots. A Swedish blonde beauty, you would imagine. Yeah, which given its proximity to Hamilton, you would think Tia Moodle must be full of hotties. Minga's from top to bottom. I also feel like this has just turned into did you move to Hamilton for love?

Moved from South Africa to Hamilton. Now I'm single, still in Hamilton. Probably playing rugby though, so happy place to be. My parents were, back to the exchange student, my parents were disgusted that I was moving to the other side of the world. Separated after 23 years. Oh, wow. But still here.

We've got a Swede in Taumutu on the way up from Palmerston North rescuing that Irish person. If the Welsh can just drop another harness down and get the Swede out of Taumutu on the way up from Palmerston North rescuing that Irish person. If the West Bank could just drop another harness down and get the sweet out of Taumutu. How many people can we fit in this?

Drop them both off in Hamilton. Happy days. Oh, another one in the bag. It's a Versace bag as well. If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates.

You don't sound sincere there, but I'm just reading what's written here. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. and be sure to tell your mates. You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here.
