The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletchvorn and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Play ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Thank you Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show Fletchvorn and Hayley the Hacker. I know we did it.

The world record is now New Zealand's. As it should be, not France. France. France. Merde. That, not France. France. France. That was a French swear word. Wow, was it? What did it mean? Shit. Oh, okay. You can't say that on the radio. Can I?

In French or English. Sorry. Sorry about that. Not a great way to start the show, is it? I'll go. Dual lingo swearing. Oh, God. I'll go. Jewel lingo swearing. Oh, God, I'll go. If she's going, I'm going. Can you do the show on your own? I can't.

I'll have to go. She gets to go. You have to go as well. I'll have to go as well. I tell you what, everybody up listening right now feels the daylight savings change. I know, it sucks. Tired this morning. You're going to deal with this in the top six, Vaughn.

The top six things you'll hear about daylightlight Savings, yeah, at work today. Yeah. Good, really? Feels like load of summer already. Yeah, good. Wait, was that one on the list? Yeah, well, it's not now because you've bloody gone and said it. Spring, spring, fall.

Spring, fall, fall, baby. We're getting that look like, stop saying them. Stop saying them. Stop saying them. Blowing it all. Next on the show. There is a new eating trend, and this is actually something that Aaron and I do.

Okay. We've got a bit of a variation on it. Play Zed-N's, Flashborn and Hayley. Food trend. Online, that people are sharing. It's called get a table pancake. Now, this is genius. You know when you're all at brunch

And you're like Oh god what are we going to get And then you'll be like Do I want to go sweet Which I often No I very seldom will No I don't

If I'm hungover I get the pancakes But it's very rare I'd rather get that I'm always the eggs Eggs Always the eggs We're a savoury crew

But If we got a table pancake We've kind of tickled That little box That we're thinking about When we want the pancakes So any of us could got a table pancake, we've kind of tickled that little box that we're thinking about when we want the pancakes. So any of us could touch the table pancake? So, like, we're getting – we've gone out for brunch, the three of us, because we're genuine friends,

and sometimes we like to socialise outside of the studio. And I think you can really hear that on the show. Really, if you have to say it, is it true? I think this is such a very authentic friendship. It's got nothing to do with this workplace. I think as a trio, we would have found each other out in the wild. Sure. You know?

Yep. So Vaughan's getting some sort of potato dish. Yes. Potato sort of hash with a meat. Which is quite often true to life. Often true to life. Yep. Meat and potatoes.

Yeah. You're getting some sort of scrambled eggs with sides of mushrooms. And I'm getting something really fancy and cool that's got like broccoli and avocado in it. Okay. And then we're all like, oh, but I could have a little, sometimes for us it's those cinnamon scrolls. Yeah. Instead, the three of us would get a table pancake and there would just be a little extra dish in the middle that we could just have a little

fork into. I don't like this. Oh my god, me and Aaron do this at the tavern. You're a partnership. And we're a trio. Because I'm imagining when it comes to the end, one person's taking care of the bill when you go out with your partner. But when we go out, we always split the thing three ways. So then we're going to be like, I'll get that and

one third of the pancake. No, you just always split the thing three ways. So then we're going to be like, I'll get that and one third of the pancake. No, you just say split the bill three ways. No, because what if you had avocado and asparagus? Those are two seasonal things. That's going to pump your price up. You're always going for the big eggs with extra mushrooms. This is classic Sproul splitting a bill. It's like the salmon latkes.

I'll say we split it three ways. The thing I get's a dollar cheaper. And you get the fancy coffee. He's been sitting on this. I do get the fancy coffee. You get the fancy coffee. We get the bloody refill, the $5 refill at that. Oh, so I'm really cashing in.

So you're subsidising your breakfast and your coffee. Your lifestyle. 50 cents to a dollar each time. Well, why don't we? And you know what? Just consider it evening out for paying for menstrual products. Hey, wow. And paying extra for your female shavers,

even though the male shavers are exactly the same. As a woman that doesn't shave or very rarely gets a period, thank you. You're welcome. Thank you very much. You're welcome. No, me and Aaron get table nachos when we go to the pub. Absolutely acceptable when there's two of you

and one of you is going to pay the bill, because we'll do that. Like, as a family, if we're all going out, because I know Big Daddy's paying. So Big Daddy will be like, yeah, that, that, and let's get some stuff for the table. Full well-known, the kids might pick at it a bit, but it's Shardani and I that are going to demolish the table nachos.

Is that at the tab? Is that at the tab? At the tab. They're good nachos. Good going to demolish the table nachos. Is that at the tab? Is that at the tab? At the tab. They're good nachos. Good nachos. Not damn bad nachos. So you're buying a whole other main. Well, it's actually on a smaller thing, but it's the size of a main.

Right. Okay. So it's like you're having one and a half mains. Yeah. I'm feeling food shamed by you right now. There is a tone. There is a tone. Yeah, I'm having one and a half mains when I go to the pub.

Half of which is a table nachos. Just before you press that song, can I tell you about a thing I did at the weekend? Okay. About wraps and tortillas and such. I thought you were about to say like wrappers. Wrappers. No, yeah, wrappers love spilling a table nachos.

Eminem loves spilling a table nachos. That's what I'm saying. I love his song, Table Nachos. When tortillas get stale, as long as they're flour-based, do you know you run them under the tap, wet them, and then put them in a hot pan and just fry the water off and it reinvigorates the wrap. Run a wrap under the tap.

I know. It sounds insane. Which is almost a wrap in itself. Almost. Because I made my family breakfast wraps on Saturday. Yeah. And I one by one showed them. Because I just coincidentally saw this thing on Instagram.

Yeah. The refined TikTok Instagram reels. Where I'm going to get stale. And do you know the guy who was like, this is what. He was taught it by Werdell Yankovic. What? The guy that makes parody songs. Yeah.

He's taught this's also He's like Don't throw that out Run it under the tap And then put it in a hot pan Yeah And it revitalises it This is a guy that has so much money He could probably just buy fresh wraps

To be fair Weird Al could probably just buy a fresh pack of wraps No Run them under their tap Put them in a hot pan Revitalises the wrap I'm reading The internet is well aware of this.

Yeah. That's crazy. And it worked exceptionally well. But only wraps. It wouldn't do it to bread. Right. It wouldn't do it to bread. And it couldn't be corn wraps.

You know, those real traditional. Oh, yeah. Corn flatbreads. You've got to go flour-based wraps. You've got to get a flour-based tortilla. So even the big ones, like a burrito-sized one or a taco one. Okay, wow. Because you know how they go a little bit. little bit at the edge, they start getting crispy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they dry out and what have. Yeah. Just wet them. Wet them. Good tip from you. That's a great hack, actually, Shannon. See, that's how a hack is done.

That's a great hack. Another one. Vaughn's given us a second. Five stars. Six stars. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Have you ever bailed on friends just so you could stay home with your cat? Not directly, but I think my heart has made that decision before.

But you know me, I love to leave the house. You love a Rolly's. I had a weekend at home. You had a weekend at home. I had a weekend at home. I'm a little bit itchy. That's why I might be a bit full on today lads I know because you did say you were going to come out on Saturday

With the lads lads lads Yeah Well I had some drinks at home and then I couldn't drive And I couldn't be bothered so I was like yeah there you go Whole weekend at home Well just basically how I live Actually I said I went out last night But on Friday and Saturday

You went out last night? Sunday night I went out last night. But on Friday and Sunday. You went out last night? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sunday night? Yeah. You went out? Yeah, like to the clubs. I went clubbing last night. Oh, you went clubbing. No, I just went out for dinner.

Oh, okay. With some friends. You did leave the house. Yeah, left the house. Yeah, right. Rose, you'd be happy if you didn't leave the house. Perfect. So you're always with your pets.

So they did a big study with cat and dog owners, with thousands of cat and dog owners, and they found that 48% of them had bailed on plans with friends because they just wanted to be at home with their pets. I mean, fair enough. Like, I don't know, snuggled up on the couch with the cat or the dog. I sort of get it. I'm going through a period of time where I'm really in love with my cat at the moment.

Like, I just am obsessed with him. How do you fall out of love with your cat? No, I never fall out of love my cat at the moment. Like, I just am obsessed with him. How do you fall out of love with your cat? No, I never fall out of love, but at the moment, I'm giving him lots of words of affirmation and lots of cuddles. Does he need the positive reinforcement? I think so. He's about to turn nine, and I think he's really grappling with that. As I am about to turn 35.

Is this like you projecting onto your cat? Well, my friend had a cat and we got them at the same time and her cat just died. What? And she was telling me about how awful it was having to go get them put down and like what a harrowing thing.

And so I've really been grappling with Rolly's mortality recently. Which you also struggle with your own mortality. Oh my God. I'm very afraid of dying. So he turns nine, you turn 35. Both are over halfway. I'm a third of the way.

I would like to clarify, I'm a third of the way. You think you're going to make it to a hundred and fifteen. No, that's not right. A hundred and six. I just had this vision of you telling your therapist about this and wasting a whole hour and money on talking about your cat. Has the cat come up?

Well, maybe I will bring it up with her. My fear of mortality has come up. Yeah. I don't want to die, ever. She was like, well, you will. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to try to avoid it for as long as possible. But at some point, you're going to get old and sore

and you won't want it. No, no, no, no, no. If I could live to 130, I will. Yeah, I don't want to die. But I don't want my cat to die. And so I'm going through this thing now, which, no, no. If I could live to 130, I will. Yeah, I don't want to die. But I don't want my cat to die. And so I'm going through this thing now, which is counterproductive. I should be just enjoying his life.

Yeah, exactly. But he walks in and I go, oh my God, you're so beautiful. Oh my God. Oh my God, when you die, I'm going to lose my mind. It's terrible. Just enjoy them while they're around. It's the wrong way around

though. You've lost all your grandparents. You get a pet when you're a kid, right? And the pet dies and it prepares you for loss. It's supposed to be your first loss. And then when you lose a grandparent, you're like well this sucks so much. They crawl under the deck and... Grandparents? Yeah, they do. They go away to die, don't they?

Yeah, Nana took herself. Down by the creek. Yeah, down by the creek. Just herself off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Down by the creek. Yeah, down by the creek. Just went for a little walk. Last scene, down by the creek. Took herself off. And they're supposed to repeat for it, but you've lost all your grandparents,

but it's this cat's. Really, that I'm struggling with. Yeah. Yeah, I know. My thoughts of it. Yeah. I just think, actually, I might leave. This is my second option to leave.

I might leave to go spend some time with him. I look at all of our pets, and I'm like, all of you would make great rugs. They're going to say like feed for the garden. Well, that was what the other day I said, when the cows die, because they're just purely paddock ornaments, I said, well, I want the horns because that's their thing. Rip them off. Yeah, you know, Highland cattle.

They've got cool horns. And I was like, and their pelts would make rad rugs. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah. And then I was like, and then, you know, all the rest will just get turned into dog food. And everyone in my family was just like, why is that one not?

What's the problem with that? Oh, God, yeah. Dogs aren't going to be fussy. Fletch, your cat's buried at Vaughan's. My first cat, Karen. Yeah. Oh, the flower. Yeah, what's the flowers on the top?

Oh, okay, because I was like, she is, you know, she got a lemon tree, pea. Wow.

Wow. I'm sorry, it was the name Karen that really led me astray. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

Oh, deeper. Okay, wow. To throw a body in my suit. what's happening? Hang on. No,

I'm not, I'm not transphobic about the cat at all. It's got nothing to do with it. It wasn't a trans cat. It wasn't a trans cat. Ouch, what is wrong with you? I don't know. The cat wasn't a trans.

Just ignore that I ever opened my mouth. It was a male cat. JK Rowling over here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six.

Hello there, Daylight Savings. Of course, Daylight Savings. 6.25. Yeah. If you're just getting in your car, you need to confirm what time it is. It's going to be a struggle today. Yep.

There's a lot of people. It would have been hard to get to sleep last night. Oh, yeah, right. That'll do. Oh, wait. Swoosh. Top six things you'll hear at work today about daylight savings. Number six.

I'm just going to get into it. Number six on the list. Whoa, I'm hungry. Feels like old lunchtime. Yes. Start snacking early. A little bit out of sorts. The old tummy doesn't know, does it?

No. No. The old tum-tum. Number five on the list of the top six things you'll hear about daylight savings at work today. Boy, I slept rough last night.

It was so light. Yeah. Yeah. So the early, early birds, but then if you're up now, you're an early bird, aren't you?

Were your cats confused when they got fed? Raleigh's always hungry though. Do you know what I mean? Oh yeah, right. Yeah. I don't know, the cat kind of came in. what I mean? Oh yeah, right. Yeah. I don't know. The cat kind of came in.

I was like, not now. Yeah. Okay. And it was like... Wait your time. Do you have allocated times? You feed your cats? No, not really.

Oh God, we do. We're strict. Well, I've got the machine. It's exactly the same time. Do you do the machine even when you're home? Yep. What a meanie. No, it's so good.

It's a nice bonding experience to feed your pet. Yeah, it's great. He hears the ding, ding, ding and runs to the machine. Oh my God, sprints. He knows that it's time. And his little fat pouch goes boom, boom, boom. It's pretty cute. Oh, fat shaming.

Mine does it too. When I run for food. Down to the dairy. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Number four on the list of the top six things you'll hear about Dalek Savings at work today. At about four o'clock, someone will propose a knockoff time. Yeah.

I reckon we just knock it off. Yeah, come on. Or we can get out of here. Five o'clock somewhere. Yeah. Well, it was five o'clock last week, wasn't it? Number three on the list of the top six things you'll hear about Dalek Savings at work today.

Someone will say, geez, it surprises me every year. At least summer's here. Yeah, that's the good thing. Summer's around the corner. Yep. Number two on the list of the top six things you'll hear about Dalat Sabers at work today. Someone will say, cranked out the barbecue last night. Lovely to

get back into barbecue season. Oh, God. Even though nothing stopped you doing that all winter, by the way. No, because you still barbecue, don't you? All the time. Oh, God. Even though nothing stopped you doing that all winter, by the way. Because you still barbecue, don't you, even in winter? Yeah, we don't. All the time. Just out there

with a head torch on or... Okay, that's just a bit weird. Getting it done. That's sad. And number one on the list of the top six things you heard about Dalek 7's work today.

Has this clock been changed? Is this old time or new time? Because this one's not a computer. The computers change automatically, but has this one been changed? Check their watch, and then they'll doubt their watch, and then they'll doubt themselves. Surely cars do it.

Do some of the new cars do it automatically? Well, mine, one of them. No, mine doesn't because it's not connected to the internet. Mine's connected to my phone, though. Yeah. Apple CarPlay. Apple CarPlay takes the time from your phone. Yes, but on the actual thing,

it doesn't stay in the car. And every time you forget how to do that. Oh, no. You always got to hold something down. And then you overdo it and you've got to go the full loop. Or just leave it until next March or April or whenever it is.

Yeah, that could possibly work. And put a little sticker beside it saying old time minus one. Yeah. For correct time. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. For those in the international podcast family, we thank you. Because sometimes they send us links to things that we've talked about.

And they really take a deep dive. And it came to my attention that someone, Devon in the International Podcast family, shared a little update on Ken the Lonely Swan, who, if you remember, lives in Ernal Creek Reserve in Christchurch, has lost their partner. Ken's a boy. Yeah.

Lost their partner and then someone made a Tinder profile for Ken and then they went missing not long ago. I know. And everyone was like, oh, lonely. Lonely, taking himself away. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But no, he returned to the lake and someone on the podcast family,

Devon, posted some good news from Summerfield Residents Association. Okay. And it was a picture of two swans necking. Like crossing necks. To make a heart. To make a heart. I mean, look at it. It's pretty cute.

Oh, that's cute. I just went to look for some news. Now I'll say, NZ Herald, you're snoozing on this. Not a single article on the fan. Yeah, but I don't know if it's big news. Well, it's been in the news every other time. I don't know if it's getting the clicks. It's been in the news every other time about Ken the Lonely Swan.

I have personally verified, and feel free, NZ Herald, to just use this now. Yep. I have personally verified, and feel free NZHerald to just use this now, with the, I just went on a spa website, because that's the river that he lives in is owned by the spa, Lotus Spa. Right. An update on Ken the Swan from their website. Our resident white swan Ken, I don't know that we needed to identify the race. Say white, yeah. What does it matter?

Our resident white Swan Ken recently lost his mate Samantha, age 36, and went looking. He got lost. Courtesy of a compassionate local, Ken listed a Tinder profile to find a new mate. Caused quite a stir. Now, Barbie has turned up

in the creek, and they are romancing back at Swan Lake. Did Barbie come named or did someone name this Swan Barbie and where did Barbie come from? Unsure. She's turned up. Do we know how old Barbie is? Like has he gone for a younger lover?

Yeah, I don't know. This is the only information on this verifying that Ken is no longer a lonely swan. Right. He's found someone. And there's more pictures. Look at them following each other around. Isn't that stunning?

Look at them. Is that her? Is she the small one? Looks, yeah. Looks young. Looks younger. He's gone for a younger woman. He was with an older woman and now he's with a younger woman.

Well, let's not call it. His old partner was 36. I mean, so still a sexually young woman. I just Googled how long the swans live for, and they're like generally around 12. So she's prehistoric. What? She's a creeper. Yeah.

She's really. No wonder he's stoked to find a younger lover. Yeah, this one I'll say, I don't know much about swans. She looks young. She looks like a youthful swan. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

So he's back. Ken and Barbie. So he's off the market. Oh, I, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. So Ken and Barbie. So he's off the market. Oh, I see what, yeah, right. That's what they call her, Barbie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they call her, Barbie. So he's off the market. Tinder profile better be taken down. You know, some people snooze on that for too long.

They're like, oh, let's just see how it goes. Well, or they leave it active just in case it doesn't work out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, the first wee while you're just like. I'm still like swiping on the hotties. Yeah. But on behalf of FVH, we just want to say a huge congratulations doesn't work out. You know, the first wee while, you're just like, swiping on the hotties. Yeah. But, on behalf of FVH,

we just want to say a huge congratulations to Ken and Barbie on their newfound romance. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

I am now passionate about wrestling. Pro wrestling. Out of, like, nowhere? Yeah. Well,

this is exactly how people like Aaron and a lot of people got into Formula One, right? Was the drive to survive. Docco on Netflix. Yes. And then everyone was like, holy moly, this whole world I didn't know about.

And now they're like, this is my brand. Like this is who I am to its core. And Vaughn, you mentioned this documentary on Netflix. Yep. Six-parter, Mr. McMahon. Mr. McMahon. And like if you don't, even if you're not a wrestling fan, you like know his face.

Right. He's the boss, but he's like the announcer. But he's also like a real piece of work, right? Can I just say, this documentary got me into wrestling, but. Not him. Not him. Not him. It's wild. Anyway, so on Friday night, I was home alone,

and I had a rare night on my own at home with nothing to do, cooked an omelette, popped a Prosecco, and I was like, I'm going to watch this, and I'll just get into it, because I used to only ever see wrestling in the 90s, and I was like, that's so embarrassing. It's clearly not real. Like a dickhead.

Yeah. She's converted. Yeah. And now I'm like, yeah, it's not real. It's opera. It's art. It's performance. It's literally all the things that I love.

But there's matches in this where they talk about someone was their time to give up the belt and they didn't want to. So they just didn't. It can turn into like a real fight with the person when they won't like submit or tap out. Yeah, right. So it's this amazing documentary that kind of follows the history of pro wrestling because he took over from his dad. History of pro wrestling from when it first started being on television

to like how we know it now. And then all through the 90s when it was started being on television to like how we know it now. And then all through the 90s when it was like super popular and I was there like a dumb idiot in the 90s thinking it was lame and embarrassing. And now watching it, I'm like, this is my new brand. This is exactly what I did with the NBA.

And I was working with Pac Society at the time who's a big basketball fan and I got him to teach me everything that I know. And then after watching this, I jumped on a message with James Rocke who was a fellow comedian who also loves wrestling. I was him to teach me everything that I know and then after watching this I jumped on a message with James Rocke who was a fellow comedian who also loves wrestling and I was like teach me everything I've got to choose my guy

I've got to choose my, oh girl probably a guy, I've got to choose my wrestler I've got to choose my era I've got to choose like am I going to continue watching or am I just going to be a historical fan? That's me, I'm the historical I got to episode 4 last night as the the attitude era with like stone cold steve austin yeah undertaker kane man right triple h so i only really know the older wrestlers

yeah like from when we were growing up yeah and wrestling was big like the hulk hogan era oh yeah but not him yeah yeah he didn't wasn wasn't at the Republican convention last few weeks ago. I've got to say, and with love to my ball brothers who rock a great bald head, he needs to let it go. Yeah. Like that thing has been disappearing down his neck. He never had a full head of hair as a wrestler. No, I know.

It was like halfway back anyway. Yeah, he's had that hole. And now he's still just got the bandana on. You're like, my dude. Release it. It's such a good doco though. It's like, it's a look into basically the boss and how problematic he was in terms of how hard he pushed the wrestlers.

But still how, when they're interviewing him, because he's in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not everyone just bagging him out. He's in there, doesn't see what he's, can't see what he's done wrong. He's like, no regrets. Yeah, no regrets.

And you're like, but someone died. Like in one of the episodes, and obviously because I don't know anything about wrestling now, but you wait for this to become my whole brand, someone died during a performance. And it's a performance. I remember when it happened. Fell from the ceiling essentially, died,

and then they just kept going with the whole. With the blood on the mat. Yeah. The blood from where he hit the deck and died. Yeah. On the spot. They continued the pay-per-view event because it was pay-per-view. Yeah.

So there was money on the line. Yeah. With the blood smears still on the mat. Yeah. And you see a clip and they're wrestling around it. Right. Oh. Because how long has it been out?

Not long, right? No. It's only just been out on Netflix. 7.8 out of 10 on IMDb. Right. How long has it been out? Not long, right? It's only just come out on Netflix. 7.8 out of 10 on IMDb. So it's rated very highly, getting great reviews. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So even if you're not into wrestling, you'd recommend it. Yeah. Okay. Because

I think you're just, like, for me I was like, oh, I've got such respect for this now. Because they were like, yeah, we never said it was real. We never said that we're actually in there fighting. It's a performance. And it's like, anyway. So stay tuned for me to choose my player.

Your player? My player. Do you call them players? Feel free. Just stay tuned for me. Stone cold, right? You go stone cold. But I feel like that's a little obvious.

It was like when I was picking my basketball team. You don't pick the best team. Okay. Would you go the Hardy Boys tag team? They weren't in the documentary though, so you won't have any. Well, I'm new. Yeah. I'm learning.

I've got training wheels on. Triple H? Yeah, maybe. He's in the documentary a lot because he's still involved. Fletch, do you want to get involved? Because I'm joining Vaughn on something that he likes. Liked. Well, yeah, historically liked. This is reignited. Your brother loved it because he met his wife in a-. Liked. Well, yeah. This is reignited.

Well, your brother loved it because he met his wife in a wrestling chat room. He still watches the WrestleMania later. She's quite hot. Yeah.

You wouldn't expect it, eh? Nah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But then also now you're into wrestling and you're like real hot

so maybe hot people are into wrestling. Nailed it. You see what I did there? What is that good? Perfect end to the six hour. Perfect end of six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Play ZM. Friday afternoon I had an appointment to get a cortisone injection in a nerve in my leg, which I've talked about a little bit before. And as part of it, you get a cortisone injection in a nerve in my leg, which I've talked about a little bit before. And as part of it, you get a local injection. So my whole left leg was numb. Could feel the foot and towards the groin. Wait, you could feel your foot but not your leg? It was.

So everything in between was numb. And do you know what was crazy? I dropped something when I got home and I got down on my hands and knees and I couldn't feel the knee on the floor. I was like, it was awful. I do you know what was crazy? I dropped something when I got home, and I got down on my hands and knees, and I couldn't feel the knee on the floor. I was like, it was awful. I didn't like it.

Yeah, it was so off. And I was, like, touching my calf, and I was like, hairy? A little bit prickly. Because, you know, it was like all I couldn't have the sensation of my hand on my leg, but I had the leg on the hand. It would have been like feeling someone else's leg? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like been like feeling someone else's leg? Yeah. It's like when you get the dentist and you touch your lip and you're like, that's what my lip feels like when someone else touches it.

Fat. It feels fat. Because when you touch your own lip, you get both ends. Yeah, but take away one end. Imagine how fat your lip feels. Imagine how fat my leg felt. It's so big and I was like, oh my god. Anyway, and then Fletch, you were asking this morning, like, oh, if it was in the other leg,

because it was my left leg, would the other leg have been able to drive home? Yeah, because I was with our friend Dr. Shawnee, and we were talking about this. I said, oh, your Hayley's getting her leg thing now, because we were going to invite you to hang out with us. And I was like, no, Hayley's getting an injection in her leg. And he said, well, how's she driving home?

And I said, I'm pretty sure it's the left leg. Yeah. Not though, because you've got an automatic car. Yes. And I was like, well, that's fine. But did they even say to you, organise a ride home? No, no, no, no, no. But I guess they assumed being the left leg,

they probably assumed I look like an automatic car driver. I do. Yeah, yeah. And so there was no conversation about, because I wouldn't have been able to drive. And then you were like. Well, you could feel your foot though, but then. Yes, but all the middle, it was very obscure.

I could walk, but when I was walking, I was like, feels very odd. Wow. Thumpy and sort of odd and a bit limpy. And then Fletch was like, this morning, Vaughan, you weren't in yet. Fletch was like, did they ask if you drive a manual? And I was like, oh, no, they didn't. And then producer Shannon was like, why would that make a difference? And I was like

because there's two pedals and she was like what's it for? And then I said have you ever driven a manual before? She was like no. She was like I thought you just go like this. And she was like miming. Did you not know about the extra pedal? I still don't know

if you're like rocking with it or not. There's another pedal. I've don't know if you're like rocking with me or not. There's another pedal. Because yeah, I thought you just like, I've seen, because my dad drives one, I've seen the like hand thing. The gear stick. The hand thing. You shift gears, right? No, but you

have to push in a pedal when you do it. The clutch. You have to push the clutch in to change the gear. You can't just yank it around. And then slowly let it out at the same time. So. I love it. Why? Why?

Because that's how it works. It's manual. I had no idea. So you drive with two feet. Yeah. That seems dangerous because aren't you not meant to hit two things at the same time? No. One is the dedicated clutch leg.

And that will be your left leg. The other one does the accelerator and the brake, the right leg. But when you brake, you also have to clutch at the same time. It feels like we're explaining rotary phones to a Gen Z. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you put your finger in and you spin it around to the number and then you release it. Yeah, I had no idea.

And now I'm like, my dad drives one. I've never noticed that there's a second pedal. A third pedal. Yeah. There's still brakes. There's still brakes and still an accelerator. So there's a go,. A third pedal. Yeah. There's still brakes. There's still brakes and still an accelerator. So there's a go,

a stop, and a change. Yeah. Yeah, essentially. The go and stop still on your right foot like you would drive. Yeah.

And I'm never getting in a car with Shannon, by the way. A, B, C. Gotcha. Accelerated brake clutch. I've only ever driven a V-Dub Golf.

Yeah. So I just can't conceptualise. Vaughan, do you feel, as a man with daughters, would you feel capable of teaching Shannon how to drive a manual, considering she's only just realised what the stick's called and that there's a third pedal? It's doable.

I'm not doing it in my Land Rover, though, because that's a big pedal. It's doable. I'm not doing it in my Land Rover though because that's a big risk. That's a big risk and it's my only manual. Can we borrow your dad's car and get you to have a lesson? It's a work car so I don't think he'd love the insurance issues with that. We're going to need a big car park too. We're not doing this

on the road. An empty Sunday morning car park. Huge car park. My pop taught me in a 90s Mazda in a car park in Dargaville with no one around. And then I got to go out on the streets

and still I'm in Dargaville. You know, there was never any stress. But the third pedal really plays with your brain. That's wild. Especially if you've spent, I learnt after having learnt

in an auto. Oh no, you've got to go manual first. Yeah. It's hard to transition back. Too late for Shannon, but. Yeah, I barely can drive auto, let's be honest. I'm so happy that you've learnt. You just continue to learn and grow before our very eyes.

It's fun. I'm like a little sponge around you guys. You're just filling me up. I am glad that you said in an automatic that only one foot touches the pedals. Because in my mind, you were also driving one foot on the brake, one foot on the accelerator.

The first time I drove, I did that. And my dad was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I learned that that's not cool. Left leg does nothing. Put that away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Flesh, Fawn and Hayley

Silly little foe Silly little foe Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Silly Little Pole is, do you watch your Instagram stories after posting them? Madness. Why would you? I hear enough of the bloody thing as you're trying to upload it, but you put a caption on or doing something and it plays over and over. And you're like, man, shut up. And then by the end of it, you're like, I don't really want to upload this anymore. It's terrible content.

You're in a minority, Vaughn. Yeah, I watch mine back, for sure. The idea of this came to us, Mashable on like a tech website. They did a huge deep dive into why people obsessively watch their own content online. Instagram stories,

whether it's TikToks, your grid. And there are so many reasons why people do it. Is it a vanity thing? It's like someone they talked to said, if I'm feeling down I might just look back over my grid to feel better.

You're talking like historical or just... Like if you save a highlights thing, go back and be like, ah, happier times. Or just like watching your story to see, there'll be heaps of reasons to see if your crush has liked it or watched it. Yeah. To see who's watching your stories.

I just like to get the perspective of the viewer. Yeah, and that's what someone else in this article said. I just want to, I just like think, what if someone's new to my feed? Like, what are they, how are they seeing me? How are they perceiving me? Yeah. There's so many reasons why people are doing it. Yeah, I love it.

But a lot of people are. Yeah. Tons of people are. 83% of our respondees rewatched their Instagram stories after posting. 83%. 17% said no. Dan the man has comment. Got to get that validation of how many people viewed it.

I got to know that people know I'm better than them. What? Jesus, Dan. Wow, okay. Jesus, Dan. of how many people viewed it, I've got to know that people know I'm better than them. What? Jesus damn. Wow, okay. Jesus damn. This is equivalent of going to your sent items and rereading an email you just sent to someone, which, yes, I also do.

Just to double check that you haven't messed it up. That's why I'll go into the sent items if I don't get a reply or I haven't heard from someone, I'll go and I'll be like, did that send? But that's about the only times I ever go into the sent. Sometimes if I send a real good one. Did I really promise to do that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I was out of my mind when I said yes to that. Sometimes if I send a real good one, like a disgruntled one, I'll go back and read it all the time. I'm like, man, that was well worded, hey, Lee. But you, how often, if you posted a good series of Instagram stories, would you go back and look? A good couple of times before they retire. Okay.

Retire? Are you looking at who's seen them? A good couple of times before they retire. Okay. Are you looking at who's seen them? Nah, I couldn't give a toss. Okay. Nah. Ruben says, I'm just making sure everyone knows how funny I am.

Yeah, same. What is, I don't get it. How does re-watching that? Well, it's validation, isn't it? Yeah, because you watch it but you're like, right.

And then he's like, everybody else must have had that same reaction. Yeah. Okay. Ali, man, some people are delusional, aren't they? Right. And then he's like, everybody else must have had that same reaction. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Ali. Man, these people are delusional, aren't they?

Aren't they? Yeah. I mean, you said you did it. Yeah. Sort of like holding up a mirror and being like. Yeah, it is. A little bit delusional. Yeah. Every time, says Ali, every time, multiple times,

sometimes I even watch them from my partner's phone to get the vibe from a follower's perspective. What is wrong with you? I love it. I love it. What is going on? Oh, that's so funny. You're all losing your marbles. Mason, no. I don't need my ego stroke. If I want it stroked, I head to the

DMs. Stroke. The post of stroke. Yeah. Structed. I don't need my ego struck. Yeah. I head to the DM don't need my ego struck. You're struck. Yeah. I head to the DMs and wind up the misses. What do you think he's getting some hot people DMing? And he's like, hey, look at this hot babe. This hot babe liked it. This hot babe DMed me.

Yeah. Wow. Okay. It's playing with fire. It is, yeah. That's madness. You must have a pretty secure misses. You describe yourself as a secure miss. 100%.

But Aaron ain't got no DMs. Yeah. Hannah says because the circle around my picture dulls and doesn't stand out to annoy me. Ah, right. So that means you're also lingering on your own profile then. Oh no, at the start

see that my story, it's a grey circle but if you haven't watched your own, it's a grey circle, but if you haven't watched your own story, it's a blue circle. No, that's only when there's videos left to watch, isn't it? Oh no, I've got no circle. Yeah, so if you uploaded a story, it would be blue and then you watched it and it goes grey. I should upload something. It's terrible that people are going on and there's nothing, I've provided no content. You're not top of mind for them. Yeah. Okay, I'll post something. Stay tuned. It'll just be a dumb picture of a cat.

I wouldn't bother. Don't worry about it. I was literally, I just got the cutest piccy though. See, told you. There you go. Okay. I'll do my face instead.

James, made a go with the cat. James says, Oh, she's tired, eh? There's that bloody, there's that bloody. That's a look, hey? You got even the Paris filter's not helping that.

Yeah, I just Paris filtered it. It did nothing. Yeah. I think I'll just upload that. No comment. James, who has no profile picture on Instagram, said no because I've never uploaded an Instagram story, so I haven't had the chance to rewatch.

Oh, James. You simply must. You can only know. Alice. Guys, I said I'd upload it as a gag. I'm deleting it. It's too much. It's harrowing. Just keep reliving that moment, says Alice.

And Katie says, yes, because my paranoid brain thinks that I somehow posted a nude or something embarrassing, so I just need to make sure that's not on there. There's not a nude in there, eh? There's not a nude in there. Wow, that's so funny. I love it. Why?

Why are you laughing at? Something happened to me the other day, but it's not Ronnie. Oh, my God. He was wondering. I'll tell you. I'll tell you guys, but it was. Oh, boy. It was. No, no, no, no.

No nudes. No nudes. Nothing like that. Because you did once accidentally post your balls on Snapchat. Yeah. To a Snapchat story too. Yeah. Whoopsie daisy.

It was only up for 45 seconds and I clicked on the thing. And you know, on Snapchat it would have the little eye and how many people had seen it? It was zero. Thank goodness. How many? Why did you have a picture of your balls? I was trying to send it to Sade.

It'd be funny. And instead of going, you know, on Snapchat, you'd be like, click the person you want to send it to. But then next was like my story. Also it's his story. And so I sent it to her, but also the story. Oh, yes, yes, person you want to send it to. But then next was like my story. Also it's your story. And so I sent it to her, but also the story. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, harrowing.

Oh, I'm looking forward to this. And I've never had to take down a story on Snapchat before, so I just panicked. Panicked. 45 seconds, zero eyes. I think if you just throw the phone out the window, it'd source it. I Googled that.

If you smack, smack, smack, smack the phone. Smash the source. Yeah, yeah. It goes away. Come on then, go to the break and tell us. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It's news to me that there's an all-you-can-eat dumplings place in Auckland. Where?

What? When? How many? I want to eat it. Producer Shannon, when? At the weekend? Yeah, so what's happening? You know what we should do on Friday?

Friday rankings. Dumpling flavours. Oh, yum what's happening? You know what we should do on Friday? Friday rankings, dumpling flavours. Oh, yeah. Pork and chive. Pork and chive. We're done. Pork and chive. I do love a chicken mushroom. I don't know if I have an extensive knowledge of dumpling flavours,

to be honest. All dumplings. Sounds to me like we need to go and do some research. Sounds to me like we need to go get some all-you-can-eat dumplings. Yes. First question, how many did you put away? So I didn't really count because how it works is everyone on the table has to do it and the food just continuously rolls out.

You can order specifically, but first off, they bring you one of everything and then on your phone you'd be like, we want more beef, more pork or whatever. That's good to be able to write. Incidentally, I want to go here. And it was cheap as as well it was only 28 dollars per person yeah for bottomless food how long were you allowed to sit there for because they'll put a time limit on these things we were there two hours but what we were got full um how many if you had to estimate how many dumps do you reckon and were you going steamed or pan

fried so we we mixed it up they also do include it in this fried rice, fried noodles. Like it actually wasn't just dumplings. For $28? You're going to be filling up on fried rice and fried noodles? No, but every now and then just to cleanse the palate. Mix it up. Just to cleanse the palate with a bit of rice. Like sniffing coffee beans between perfumes.

Exactly. Cleanse the palate with a bit of fried rice. You could pay $7 more, which we didn't do, and you could get included in that, bao buns and lots of other stuff. Oh, no, but see, bao buns are too filling. I'm here for the dumps. So I don't know how...

No, wait, you're eating fried rice and fried noodles, but you're not going to eat bao? Well, not for $7 more. It's like I don't even know... Oh, okay. Yeah. We just went $28. It was so good.

I love a mixture of, because I love pan fried, but I love a steamed dump as well. So delicious. A soft, sloppy, steamy dump. I reckon I probably tucked away like- Were there soup dumps? Yes. Like everything you can imagine.

I think I tucked away maybe 30-ish. Nice. And then we had those dessert, like fried bread things, and you dip it in sweet condensed milk. Okay, so you're almost about a dollar a, but when you think about it, that's a dollar a dump. But they were very nice quality. You're not going to get cooked dumplings anywhere for a dollar a... But when you think about it, that's a dollar a dump. But they were very nice quality. You're not going to get cooked dumplings anywhere for a dollar.

Yeah, even cheap, like Dominion Road dumps would be about a dollar a dump. Yeah, and they had like drinks starting from $7 as well. Okay, okay. But the craziest thing happened while I was sitting there.

So we had a big table of nine. It was a birthday celebration. Wow, and we weren't invited. It's actually crazy. Not mine. That's quite rude. Not mine. No, we know it's not your birthday's actually crazy. Not mine. It's quite rude. Not mine. No, we know it's not your birthday.

I was like... I just happy birthday to whoever didn't invite us to their birthday dinner, which is actually insane. If you're having a birthday meal and we're not there, you should be racked with guilt. Yeah. Next time anyone listening,

next time you're eating something yum, I want you to think Vaughan would love this. Why isn't he here? He wouldn't come if he was invited. He should invite me because I might if the food was good enough. Yeah, if it was bottomless dumps for $30. Well, duly noted for next time. Yeah, so there was us on this big table,

and there was a small table next to us of some girls about my age in their 20s. One of the girls had set up a... Yeah, yeah. Our age. Yeah. Why are we interrupting her story? Carry on. I was just saying, yes, a small table of girls our age.

Carry on. She set up a full tripod and she was filming just herself, not her table. She filmed herself for the entire two hours and every time she picked up a dumpling, she like posed at the camera. And I'm guessing vlogging her experience there. Which area?

So do you think she was doing a montage of all the dumplings? Yeah, I think it was in the wild. Like, how many I can eat? Oh, I want to see her video. I know, if she's listening. Where's her social media tag? Where's her credit? Surely, maybe you could search,

or you can eat dumplings. Can you search locally? Yeah, I guess. No, like, yeah, I want to see it because she was serving. Does she have TikTok energy or Instagram reels? I have to wait to see if it's good enough to get on Instagram reels. She was lovely. Like, they ended up taking a photo of our group and stuff.

Like, we kind of, there was camaraderie between the two tables. Yeah, right. You're not going to a world war. That was beautiful. We shared food. God, yeah, we were in the trenches.. Yeah, right. You're not going to a world war. That was beautiful. We shared food. God, yeah, we were in the trenches eating all-you-can-eat dumplings. God, we're lucky we survived. Our fellow comrades at the next table.

It is wild when you see influencers when they're with friends. I was like, how do you just go on your own and do it? No, I know. And her friends, like, they looked like they were still enjoying each other's company, but it was a tripod set up, not just like your phone leaned against a water jug. I'd be too embarrassed. Yeah, I get sheepish when I've got to do

like social media stuff in the life. It was impressive. But yeah, every time she picked up a dumpling, I watched her and she kind of would like serve at the camera, like she'd smize a little bit. Do you reckon she ate more than you? Yeah. I'm sorry. I was a bit more focused on the chat and drink than the dumplings. Okay.

You haven't said the name of this place, eh? I'm a stay-at-home. Don't say it yet because we're going to go before it gets too popular. Yes. Don't get in the business before we get in the business. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey Play ZM This story I'm reading here feels like Germany maybe 80 years ago

Oh really? What was happening then? Not modern Germany We don't talk about it It doesn't feel like modern Germany At all What's happened? There's a massive Tesla factory

Yeah In Germany And they've got a train Like a high speed They have to They've got 11,000 employees At this one factory Yeah

And you get the special Tesla train to work Yeah Is it electric? I believe so Cool It better be God Elon Musk is

He's a per gay He's gonna be a trillionaire Yeah Yuck Yuck Sort Yuck. Sort it out. So, apparently sick leave was at 17%. Now, I don't know if that means 17%

of people at some stage had a sick day. Apparently the national average for Germany in August is 6%. Not 17%. That's up. Quite a bit more. I'll bet it's Oktoberfest. You can pull a sickie. Lots of hungover.

I just said August. Wow. That's August. Sounds like it's Daylight Savings and someone's a little grumpy. Sounds like someone needed another hour of sleep. August! Not Oktoberfest.

Jesus, it sounds like someone's really. Augustfest is what they do leading up to Oktoberfest, Vaughn. It's prepping the gut for Oktoberfest. Also, isn't Oktoberfest in September? Yeah. Well, now who's grumpy? Well, now who's an idiot? We're all grumpy.

Stupid Germans. Here's Oktoberfest. It's Germans! It's Octoberfest. It's on and it's been on. It goes from the 21st of September to the 6th of October. It's so stupid! Yeah, they should really call that Cuspfest.

Cuspfest. Septemberfest. Cusptemberfest. Cusptember. September fest. Cusp timber fest. Cusp timber. So. Certainly not in August though. Then. I've joined porn site.

Thank you. Thank you. It was a sound argument. Okay. So they've got 17% sickness. They offered a 1,000 euro bonus to every employee who missed less than 5% of their time at work. Oh God. I'd be rolling in the cash. It never takes six days. I've actually got plenty and only three

months left to go for the sick leave. Take some time. She's working on it. Are you guys cold? Yeah, I'm hot. I'm so hot actually. So that didn't work. That doesn't stop people taking sick days. Okay. But so they started turning up to people's houses.

Knocking on their door. I'd like to check. Hello? To check that they're actually sick. Get away from my house. I'm sick. Important Morgan opens the door. There's a Germans and we have some questions.

Let us see your red snout. Is your nose dribbly? Are your lungs burning? Wow. Oh my God. But if it's a sick day, it's a sick day. People are entitled to a certain amount of sick days.

Surely like if your workplace was worried you were taking the Mac, like here, they can ask for a doctor's certificate after a certain amount of time, right? Yeah. If you were constantly sick. But I also just think

it's different to what it was 15 years ago. If someone needs a day off, we've kind of recognised that mental health is as important as physical health. Oh, 100%. 100%. You know, show up and the symptoms of a runny nose and a cough. So your workplace, imagine your workplace knocking on your door. That is wild.

Yeah, that's an invasion of your privacy. It might not have been knocking on your door, but we'd love to know if you got busted pulling a sickie when you weren't really having, you weren't really sick. It's when people pull a sickie and go to sports events. If you're going to the cricket and you're going to sit in the crowd, don't take a sign because they love a sign. Yeah, yeah.

Don't do the one-handed two-y catch if it's coming at you. Wasn't there that woman on TV lining up for Taylor Swift tickets or something like that and she just put like a pillowcase over her head. That's right.

She was like wearing a full like and the interviewer on the news and they're like why are you wearing that? She was like oh because I pulled a sickie

from work to be here. Or you pull a sickie like to make a long weekend and you run into someone at work at the airport when you're taking a flight somewhere. Oh my God. Or you pull a sickie like to make a long weekend and you run into someone at work at the airport when you're taking your flight somewhere. Oh my God.

You were playing with your mum. What did we do? It was the sweetest video. We walked up to the bridge and then I threw a snowball at her. And then she threw a snowball back. And she said that was such a good shot. Because you threw the snowball, she put her hand up and the snowball went down her sleeve.

Yeah, I got her good. Golden boy over here. And they were laughing, you were laughing and having fun and then you were taking a little panoramic shot and she said it's beautiful isn't it I thought that's a really sweet mother son moment

His brother had called in sick to work and said, oh, sweet, XXX having a party. I'll come. Yeah. See, I'm not so good with the cold reads. My mate said, I don't think that's a good idea. Oh, yeah, you should have pre-read that one. Yeah.

He said, nah, it'll be all right. Obviously it was not all right. Renowned comedian and ad libber, Hayley Spr Yeah. He said, nah, it'll be alright. Obviously it was not alright. Renowned comedian and ad libber, Hayley Sproul can't. He partied hard. And when we got to work on Monday, we had to have a chat and I said, there's two ways we can deal with this.

You pick. Oh my God. Show her how it's done. I'm not quite sure that was, I got lost. I'm lost. Sometimes also, I just make up the end.

Do you? Yeah, I get three quarters of the way through and if it's split over another text, I'll just make up. People always message me and they say, Warren, that's not how my story ended. And I'm like, it is now.

We're out of history, bitch. Okay, here's one. My mum pulled a sticky for her birthday because her boss was a bit of a dick. And great choice of words. My dad and mum ended up going away instead. Unfortunately, they ended up having a huge car accident. They were airlifted to

Dunedin Hospital. We lived in Christchurch. Busted. Fair to say that they didn't get in trouble for that though. A lesson to be learned. Paul DeSicchi, you need to go skiing. He ended up on the national news that night because the road was closed and we could climb the mountain. You get stuck there. If you're Phil DeSicchi, you don't put

your hand up to chat to the news about bloody anything. No. If they come to your window, oh, how are you affected? You just go. No, no, not me today. You could say I'm on witness protection. Yeah. You actually legally can't show my face. I'm actually a Russian spy.

Yeah. And I have worked so hard to learn this New Zealand accent, I cannot have my face on TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll ruin everything. Leave me be. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. A bratty energy entered the studio at the end of last week And I feel like it might be here till Christmas

Looks lovely. Lovely, lovely. Tick, tick, tick. Yeah. So then you're like, this is not even light at the end of the tunnel. This is you're about to exit the tunnel. They were about to exit the tunnel and we'll move outside and, you know, do some gardening and fun and easy stuff.

Anyway, gardening. So it's famously easy. All being completely worth it and easy, isn't it? Oh my God. It's been so strengthening and fun and financially viable and just such a chill relaxed experience. Yeah, it's been so great Yeah, I've got a nice house though. Anyway, so it's part of this I I have too many clothes and even though I have asked to have this big wardrobe. It's not big enough It just will never be big enough. It's not it's really not it's huge and you own 98% of it. Yeah. Yeah

Yeah, you, yeah. He's allowed to put up a hoodie or something. Like how many clothes does he actually own? Like it would take up 50 centimetres of space. Like a foot and a half of rack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The rest of it's just like crap that we can jam into a drawer. Also, we have two other bedrooms that have wardrobes in them

and we have no children. So, do you use one there? I hate when you get told to use another wardrobe. Oh, you can hang that in the other wardrobe. But I don't want your ugly man clothes in my beautiful space.

You can take one of the other wardrobes. Yeah, but then every time Bourne needs to put on... I'm going to go to the other room. It's not a current situation. It's not a current situation I face, but I have faced this prior. Oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, because it's all very aesthetic. It's nice. It's hard to go and get the same pair of jeans and a black t I face, but I have faced this prior. Oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's all very systemic. It's hard to go and get the same pair of jeans and a black T-shirt, Hayley. It really is. I'm sure it is. It really is. Anyway, but I know because I've got a temporary wardrobe up at the moment with my sort of day-to-day clothes. And then in the garage, I would say four to five massive of those plaid bags,

the plastic plaid bags full of clothes. Oh, yeah, okay. And they're all not going to fit. So I was going through them all going, you know, are we really going to be a size 10 again, Hayley? There's a real bag. I have no comment to make. There is a real bag of beautiful clothes that I love That I know will never fit

And I've got a part with them So I was like okay I can cull some of those How many of these clothes in these bags have been worn like once Or never Heaps I was waiting for you to answer Heaps But passion is my fashion and I'm a collector

I'm a curator of clothes Passion is your fashion you just said Passion is my fashion Just let's see if your passion is my fashion and I'm a collector. I'm a curator of clothes. Passion is your fashion, you just said. Fashion is my passion. Passion is my fashion. Dyslexia is your passion also. Exactly. But I see it more as a collection than just clothes. Right.

Hoarding clothes. Shut your eyeballs. I didn't say anything. Shut your eyeballs. My head may have been voluntarily set free side to side. I heard your eyeballs slick back. I heard them. Yeah.

Anyway, so then I was like, okay, where's, I was like, this surely isn't everything. And I found this massive suitcase. It's a broken suitcase. This is on top of the five bags. I can hear those eyeballs again. I'm not even, they're not moving. They're still. And I opened it up.

This is, you know what? Because this is not my problem. No. If this was at my house, this would be my problem. And my eyeballs would be rolling around. Oh, shush. Like the wheels on the bus. I opened it up and it was all these winter coats that not only had I forgotten about,

I just, like, technically, Daylight Savings was yesterday, I just didn't wear them at all this winter. There's a Huffa Puffa in there. I mean, that's a puffy, that's a nice puffer. There's a leather trench with a fur collar and cuffs. What, in case, are you a kinky spy? There's an example of a jacket I've literally never worn, but it's incredible.

Is it like a duster? No, it is a leather trench coat with these big faux fur cuffs and collar. Where did you ever think you were going to wear that? Russia? Yeah, it's very Russian. It just doesn't get cold enough here. Auckland and the North Island this

winter's just really not being cold. There was this really cute, do you remember when I first started working here and I got that delivery? You won't remember, but I remember. The girls will remember I got this delivery. It was a pink woolen jacket with a pink matching miniskirt. Never worn it. But that was in there. And I was like I forgot about this for this winter because

it just hasn't been cold enough. And then I've got the notorious leather jacket that's like a couch with the sheepskin lining that I paid too much money for because I was hungover in Queenstown and I went, so I've got all these jackets and they just didn't get worn this winter. Because it wasn't cold enough for you to be like, I need to go to the garage and open the suitcase of jackets

And I live like even a little bit warmer Warmer part of Auckland Well even June they said was above average temperature wise It has been a little bit colder than average Well that was the thing because this was on Saturday And then yesterday in Auckland the temperature dropped a little bit So I just stubbornly sat out on the deck wearing these jackets and I'd rotate them, like, do 30 minutes.

And I was like, right, sweating, hot. Yeah. Like, it's not cold enough. Just so when it comes to putting them in the wardrobe and Aaron's like, when did you last wear that? You can be like, just very recently. Well, it literally was just winter and I wore them all. Smell it, it's still wet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you need to wear these jackets to therefore get Aaron off your back. Yeah, totally. He's like, you need to get rid of these jackets. You probably need like one winter jacket. I was like, no, but when else am I going to find this fur leather trench? You idiot. You dumb idiot.

Imagine going into a restaurant and being like, and they're like, can we take your coat? And I'm like, yes. And I hand them a fur leather trench. That's the desire. That's the dream. I need to find places. And I hand them a fur leather trench. That's the desire. That's the dream. I need to find places to wear these. And it's running out.

What's the weather? I feel hot now and I'm in the studio. 11 degrees in Auckland right now. It's only going to get warmer. 11 degrees is just going to get warmer. I need to sort of hurry up. Because I'm thinking of transitioning. I generally wait until Labor Weekend to transition to Summer Hat from Winter Beanie.

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you said transitioning there, I was like, oh, okay. Labor Weekend. Yeah, I was going to get the operation done over the long weekend. Yeah, okay. Just get it done straight out of the gate. Yeah, I'm going to get it done on Friday.

Hopefully it'll be better by Monday. You mean transitioning from Beanie to Hat. From Beanie to Hat. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my sort of equivalent. And then, oh. But I'm not ready to transition to summer.

And then move out of the boots into a burk, but stay with the jeans. And that's my favourite time of the year where it's cool enough for jeans, but warm enough for burks. But this is the problem. This is in Auckland. I mean, I'm in Auckland today

and for the next 10 days on the weather forecast, 18, 16, 19, 20. What about, could you just go to Snow Planet or like a cellar at the liquor store? Go sit in Snow Planet in Auckland in my leather coat. They've got a restaurant there you could say, could you hang my jacket on? Can you hang my trench?

That's the saddest image. That's the same temperature as outside, not as the snow part. Also in that trench coat, I think they might ask you to leave. Maybe I need to go to like Norway or something. I'll be heading into winter soon, right? But then you don't want to get rid of them because isn't the plan you want to retire

to Arrowtown one day? Mind you, by the time you get to retirement age, Global Warming would have taken care of Arrowtown. It'll be a jungle paradise. It's now or never for these coats. And if you see me around Auckland and I'm wearing one, just know I'm suffering, but I'm suffering for my art. For fashion. Yeah, for fashion.

Because passion is your fashion. Because passion is my fashion and I have to wear it. I'm going to start wearing them in studio and just get used to a sweaty brow. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I was overcome yesterday with a mood. It was inspiration and it was motivation. Okay.

And I've got to make the most of those when they happen. Yeah, because normally you just sit on your arse. Yeah, I love a sit on my arse. Sometimes I've got to make the most of those when they happen. Yeah, because normally you just sit on your ass. Yeah, I love a sit on my ass. Sometimes I've got to do stuff and I resentfully do it. But yesterday I was motivated and inspired to sort out the vegetable garden. How did that happen? Like, is there a way that you could bottle that and kind of, or, you know?

Do you have a banana? No banana. Because I find that often inspires me and ignites me. Actually, what I had for breakfast was leftover Indian food. Now we can talk about this because he told us to shut up. We were trying to catch up on this just as friends off air and then it was time to go on the rodeo and he yelled at us to shut up.

Well, you kept talking. We were finished our conversation. Curry and leftover naan. Oh my God. Like ripped up half naan. For breakfast. So I put the curry in the middle and folded it and then put a toothpick in it and put it in the Oh my God. Like ripped up half naan. For breakfast. So I put the curry in the middle and folded it and then put a toothpick in it and put it in the air fryer. Shut.

And that's what I have for breakfast. The front door. And then I didn't need lunch. Maybe that's what you need to start your day to get the inspiration and motivation is like a nice- Curry brekkie. Curry breakfast. Because I was outside in the garden all day.

So the toots didn't really bother anybody, but in this enclosed space, it's too many toots. Too many toots too many toots off a curry based breakfast yum what curry well I had my leftover chicken

tikka masala hot and I had some leftover the girls butter chicken oh my god they need to grow up butter chicken rich

rich from you Mark man wait what did I get the other day at Indian butter chicken no butter chicken not even chef's Rich. So basic. Rich from you, Mark, man. Wait, what did I get the other day at Indian? Butter chicken. No, butter chicken. Not even chef's special butter chicken.

No, you got bog standard. Kiwi butter chicken, they called it. I need to grow up. You need to grow up with your mochaccino and your butter chicken as you were born. Went and got into the garden, which had been completely untended to since last summer. So a lot of roots, grass, weeds. The goats and stuff have been in there and taken the top off it. And so I get to get in there with a spade and really, God, the mahi was on.

But I was motivated. I love gardening. I find it very peaceful. That's nice. Yeah, totally. You reach that age, probably in your 30s, where you find it quite peaceful. So I was doing that. And then I remember I had this this when I was kind of done

and I just don't have children or a garden. I'm building a garden but not building a baby. Yeah. Right. So I'll do all of it then. You do all.

I'll do some. You do none. Yeah. It's perfect. It's a great way of doing it. We're the perfect trio. No, it's one other person that won't garden

but will have a baby because then we've got all options covered. Yeah. Anyway, we'll find them. We'll find them. I can sit in that chair. Yep, there's a chair

for them right there. So at the end, I had also a lot of cow poo from the cows. Put that all in the garden. Lots of worms. I don't know if you guys are into worms

but tons of worms great for the garden. I murdered a worm with the hose. What did you murder a worm for? He was in my pot and I needed the pot. But he hit the pot.

You need worms. But he was half jammed in. It was jammed in by a tray. I put him out of his misery by blasting his head off. Do they still work if you cut them in half? Do you have to regrow worms? There was that talk, wasn't there? I remember that as a kid if a worm gets cut with a spade.

But I also feel that was just maybe to make us feel better about how often we'll put a spade through a worm. That'll regrow. So I've mixed, put all the cow shit in there as well. I was like, man, this is popping off worms everywhere.

This feels good. I need to mix it. I'm pretty struggling to see how you're about to lose a hand doing this. You're about to find out. And then I remembered I had this tool. It's like an auger that attaches to a drill. What an auger? An auger.

Like a, you know, a drill. Right. A big twisty. Big twisty thing you drill hardly. You keep saying auger harder and harder like it's suddenly going to land. Yeah. It's an auger. It's a drill. It's a spinny thing and you attach to a drill. A soil drill. Yeah, and you can like drill a hole and then pop a plant in there. Why don't you just

use this trowel like everybody else? No, you can do this trowel like everybody else? No, you can do this but this one's like makes a cleaner hole. Right. And you can go quite deep on it and it's easier it just makes the hole

because it's space. Sounds lazy to me. And so I was like that would be perfect to put the big one on. The big one's like two foot long. Yeah.

I'll put that on and just use it to mix up the soil. Right. Mix the cow poo in with the soil and get these worms going and garden, garden, garden. Watch out for Fletcher's cat. I had no, no, different part of the soil. Right. Mix the cow poo in with the soil and get these worms going. Garden, garden, garden.

Watch out for Fletcher's cat. I had, no, no, different part of the garden. Oh my God, you're not mewling at it. My cat. Different part of the garden.

My dead cat Karen is not in the vegetable garden. No, no, no, no. Fuel. It's under a tree. Because you don't want to be getting some bloody, you know,

silver beet from Vaughan and eating your own. And it tastes like cat. It tastes like Karen. Yeah, it's got a cat tinge to it. So I was drilling with the auger. I'm wearing garden gloves.

And I'm kind of moving it around. Sorry, what is drilling? You've attached this to a hand like a power tool, like a drill. Like a drill. And it's doing a great job. I'm like, man, this is great. Then the rubber fingertip on the drill on the glove rather grips to the drill and it bends my whole.

Fuck out. It bent and the drill was and it bent my finger. Stop pressing it. Around it. But you know when something like that happens, your body, you squeeze up. It's like when you get an electric shock. If you grab the thing you're getting a shock from and you just, and everything tenses up. I was like, ah, and I pulled the drill harder

and it went, oh! And it wound my hand. I don't even, my wrist was bent at an angle that I was like, I've broken it, I've broken it. I couldn't feel anything. I was in that moment of extreme panic. Oh my God. The adrenaline kicks in.

But then I couldn't get it off either because the rubber, the glove was torn to shreds. Reverse. I couldn't reverse. No, you don't want to reverse because it's still going to spin your hand around. My hand was pushed in hard against that button that you flick through in the middle of a drill. Yes.

And I was like, that's it. I've definitely broken this. Because it was wound around and the finger was even further back than the wrist. And I was like, it's just not meant to go that way. And eventually I manually wound my hand off it. And I was like, and then it started hurting really bad. And I was like,

if you used a spade, it wouldn't have happened. It wouldn't have happened. We're manned up and dug a hole, you know? But yeah, it's tender in there. Oh,

you should go to, you should get that checked out in case you have done some damage to it. No, I'm thinking of taking the Kiwi male approach and giving it a week. Gritting male approach and giving it a week. Gritting your teeth, giving it a week.

Giving it a week. Because I tried to pick something, I think it was a cup I tried to pick up last night and I was like, oh! Oh, no, no, no. And my family's like,

that's not good. I'm like, it'll be fine, switch hands. Welcome to the world of the left. This is where I live. The lefties. Yeah, it's horrid. Like, nothing's made for us.

Yeah. I can hold a pencil, but yeah, anything that requires too much grip. That'll be good for all your essays you've got to write. Maybe you can get an estimated mark for your exams. Oh, because of my injury. Yeah, I couldn't do it because my granddad died. Do they stack those? You know when someone's granddad would die the week of their exams

and they go for compassionate consideration? Yeah. And that as well as an injury, do they stack? I don't know. I don't know how it works. Like the poor guy's lost his beloved grandfather and he's got a sore hand. Nearly lost his hand.

Yeah. Also, you shouldn't be at school. You're like 40. Yeah. God, you've got to be dumb to still be at school. Why are you trying to crush my dreams? I'm going back to finish what I never started. Fact of the day is next.

Do we have a theme this week? Clouds. Oh, I love clouds. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's cloud week Thank God it's not calendar week That's all I'll say

That man has a bun on his head Did you see that man? A man bun What a head of hair What a look, hey. He looks like a samurai or something. He does, and long ponytail out the back. A man's just walked past the studio window.

Very distracting. Not the most distracting thing we've seen outside the studio window today. No, there's been a couple of things. One or two things. It's Cloud Week here at Fact of the Day. Back on track, if I may. I love clouds. Okay, well. What's your favourite?

The fluffy ones. Yeah, the fluffy ones. I don't know the names. Or when it's that little long plane. Yeah, those are good ones. What about the ones that you generally get them in summer on a really fine day and it's like... Like ripples.

Ripples. And you can just see through it. But when you can see layers of clouds moving in the opposite direction. Yeah. That's cool. That slaps. Clouds are great. Clouds are cool.

Okay. And if you don't think clouds are cool, then you're a fool. Because clouds are cool. Today, in kickoff cloud week, is this amazing fact. At any given time, 67% of the Earth's surface is covered by clouds. What? Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by clouds at any given time. Wow. Because there's so much water. And weather and stuff. It's in the atmosphere, yeah. So much water and weather

and stuff. And you know, over the oceans, only 10% of the oceans aren't covered by cloud. Wow, okay. Lots of clouds. So when we actually have like a blue sky and not a cloud in the sky. Very rare. Very rare. Very, very rare.

Very rare. Especially in New Zealand because we are the land of the long white cloud. Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud. But it's because we're so close to the ocean. Of course, clouds, if they are the land of the long white cloud. Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud. But it's because we're so close to the ocean. Of course, clouds, if they hit the land, like you think of a massive landmass like America or Russia in the middle so far from the sea. Even Australia.

Yeah, in the middle. They'd get more blue sky days because the clouds run out before they get there. Yeah. Yeah, whereas we're so skinny. Oh my God, we are. Thank God, New Zealand, Galway. But we are. Thank you. New Zealand, go away. But we are. We're so slender that it's like

we're always near water. Yeah. So we've always got clouds. Right. Wow, that's really fascinating. So if you, and I've wondered why before, you look up Google Maps and you can see that even on your street or something or in your area, you can see that the map was taken

on two entirely different days. Yeah. Sometimes one will be taken when the grass is green and it's like, oh, that must have been like spring or winter. And then you get some where it's like parched brown. You're like, that must have been in summer. Because they only obviously take those when there's no clouds in the sky. Yeah.

Because that's how they're meant. So that's why it could go over your neighborhood and the place, you know, a few streets over might get an updated Google Maps, but maybe not next door because there was cloud on that specific part. Yeah. Which I was just like, that's amazing. Yeah. Oh, I just saw that our Google Maps is updated on our house.

Where's it at? Mine's about 18 months behind, I reckon. Mine's like real recent. Oh, there's saw that our Google Maps is updated on our house. Where's it at? Mine's about 18 months behind, I reckon. Mine's like real recent. Oh, there's Google Street View. Have you seen the Google car drive past? It's pretty weird, eh? It's got so many cameras. Yeah, that's new.

That's sort of where we're at now. Oh, no, it's not. Those curtains are old. Yeah, maybe within the last year. But what about the satellite view? If you go to that. How do I do it? You just go to Google Maps and then click on satellite.

I mean, we could probably do this at another time. Yeah, we could do it anytime we want. People aren't waiting. That's the magic of technology. Hang on. We can do it anytime we want, but for some reason it seems more special now. It's like when you own, back in the day when you owned a CD, but it was always better to hear that song on the radio

because you were having a shared experience and other people listened to the radio. And that's why radio is magic. And you can have that shared experience right now on iHeart people listen to the radio. That's why radio is magic. And you can have that shit experience right now on iHeartRadio. The app. That's right. Write that down for the KPIs. Is that our first KPI of the week? That's our first KPI of the week. Oh no, Satellite View is very, very old. Pre-us buying it.

Oh really? Also our KPIs are so cloudy. Our KPIs have changed. It's not a jet ski anymore. It's a multi food processor. Oh my god, because mine's getting old. That's perfect. Wait, what brand multi-food processor. Oh, my God. Yeah. Because mine's getting old. That's perfect. Wait, what brand? KitchenAid.

No, I don't know. I think it might be a Kenwood or something. Ninja or something. Yeah, maybe a Ninja. Ninja's good stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got the Ninja Air Fryer. That's a good brand.

We'll write that down because we want to get the food processor before someone else. Oh, wait. Is it a competition to who can get the KPIs the quickest? Well, they haven't said that. Well, I'm going to triple down on my KPIs. Okay, you're fantastic. But we're doing it together as a team. Yeah, I know.

I came up with an idea for KPIs. At the weekend, it's going to cost the company $1,000. Okay, great. Wow. Fantastic. That's all though got endless benefits of this KPI idea I've had. Working with you is an honour. And it's a privilege.

Yeah. To be an honour. Fact of the day. And the first for Cloud Week is that at any given time, 67% of the Earth, that's two thirds of this beautiful blue marble that we're living on floating through space, insignificantly not meaning anything to the wider universe whatsoever. At any given time, 67% of the Earth is covered by clouds.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. So, Lana Del Rey, oh, sorry, Hayley Sproul, scandal cow here. I've got some scandals. The scandal being... She's been mooking the internet. Hang on. I'm just going to change my skirt.

The scandal being that Lana Del Rey got married. To the alligator guy. To the alligator guy. That was quick. Completely blindsided. Where did she get married? At the swamp. At the swamp. On top of an alligator, married? At the swamp. At the swamp.

On top of an alligator, yeah. At the bayou. In Louisiana. At Bar the Water in Louisiana. Wait, how long have they been dating? One month. What? Well, here's the thing.

We've known about it for a month, right? One month since they went public with their romance. Okay. Which is why everyone's like, Jesus, quack. But apparently they actually did meet five years ago. You've got glasses on completely backwards there. Yeah, yeah. Straps behind the ears. Apparently they met five

years ago, but they weren't dating because they were with other people. Okay. Because I was reading an article now that his him, Jeremy Dufresne, his... Great name. Incredible name. His ex-fiance was like like oh what the hell yeah like this is so quick they've moved on so fast when did the fiance say um breakup when did she say

they're broken um 2023 okay october 2023 right so a year ago and then so they've kind of rekindled it this year. What do you mean? So yeah, Lana Del Rey's husband and his ex broke up in October last year. And then at some point he's got together with Lana Del Rey, but they've only gone public a month ago. And then it was just like helicopter shots of them at their wedding. And everyone was like, oh my God. And then it was just like helicopter shots of them at their wedding and everyone was like oh my god

and then the fiance was like I'm in shock because we were engaged for 12 years whoa and she never got a wedding and he gets married

after one month wow okay but I'm happy for him yeah oh okay but I'm happy for him anyway

I wonder because sometimes you see these things or you hear those amazing stories of like couples in their 70s Who were like, oh yeah, we met And then a week later we moved in together

And a month later we were married And they're like, once you know, you know But I feel like 70s, it's like You know, like, you don't have long, do you? No, I'm saying, in their 70s They were like, when we met when we were 20 Oh right, yeah, yeah And I'm meaning that they're still together now.

Because a lot of older couples on their second or third marriage, they don't muck around, do they? Yeah. They get straight into getting married because they're like, who cares? Life's short. But then why do it? Yeah.

Why do it at all? Well, I want to know if you or maybe you know someone had a wedding that was like, God, that's quick. Because, I mean, and maybe there was a reason for it. Maybe it was a visa thing. Also, you have these people that like get married quickly

within a month or two and they're still together and they're going strong and they just knew it was meant to be. I know. Or other people that are together for years and years and years, then they get married

and they break up and you're like, oh, maybe it's like when you know, you know. You know, you know. Yeah, that's what I want to know. Was there, like, how quick was the wedding? Was there a reason or was it just true love?

How quickly did you get married or someone you know? How did it work out? 0800 dials at Emma's number. You can text through as well, 9696. How quick was the wedding? Lana Del Rey, one month since she came out being like, this is my boyfriend, they got married. And I mean, they've definitely only been together less than a year.

He broke up with his ex-fiancee in October last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Quick, quick. Anonymous joins us. You met your husband how long ago? I've known him for quite a few years. Okay. I've known him for quite a few years But we didn't start Sort of

We were engaged after four weeks And it's been six months Wow Wait you got engaged at four weeks When did you get married? So we haven't got married yet We're getting married about the 3rd of November overseas Oh wow

And so what made you say yes after just four weeks of being together? It's a weird one. It's just like when you know, you know. And it's really hard to explain to other people who had never experienced it, but it's just like... He's the one.

Yeah. My warning to you was you don't know what annoys you about him yet, though. No, yeah, no, I do. Oh, you do? No, no, she figured that out day one. Well, you've already got some of the things, because you find out about a year in, you really start finding out the good stuff that really ticks off.

You reckon? Yeah. I love it that you just know. Yeah, you know. Well, good luck for your wedding in November. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you very much. Amazing. Overseas, too. Yeah. That know. Well, good luck for your wedding in November. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you very much. Amazing.

Overseas, too. Yeah. That's nice. That's nice. Actually, is that the first overseas holiday together? It is, yeah. Oh, you haven't travelled internationally together. Oh, God.

Well, I mean, you'll know by the end of that holiday if it's meant to be. But a barley belly really sort of dampens the love. Amazing. Thank you. And on, some messages in. Met in February. Moved in together in May you, Anon. Some messages in. Met in February, moved in together in May, got pregnant in May,

engaged in June, married in October, all within the year of 1999. We're celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary on Wednesday. Three children and two grandchildren later happier than we've ever been. Wow.

Another long-termer, started dating in July, engaged in August. Yep. Married in December, 10th wedding anniversary this December. July, engaged in August. Yeah. Married in December. 10th wedding anniversary this December. Oh, that's nice. That's cute.

I'll chalk and code, says this person, but my girls have a stepmother. Married 14 days. She married my ex after 14 days of meeting in person. She was purchased from a website from another country. She's only six years older than the kids. 21 year age gap between her and my ex. You must look at your ex-husband and be like, dude, that's so embarrassing.
