Happy, by the way, happy last day of January. Yeah, good riddance. Yep, 112th of this bloody year gone. I love that we're like, we've got to have a better year. 2025's going to be a better year.

January, good riddance. God, it's been awful. February, you better turn this around. No, it's been a great month actually. Good start to the year I think. Okay. God, it's been awful. God. You better turn this around. No, it's been a great month, actually. Good start to the year, I think. Okay. Yeah, just feeling good. Because we spent all of 24 just like get through to 25.

Just got to put my head down. Just got to get through. And now we're here. It's going very fast. It's going very fast. The top six is coming up. Yeah. Now, we haven't heard from Bill Gates himself,

but Donald Trump said Microsoft wants to buy TikTok. Now, I would have thought we would have heard that from Microsoft. Does he have anything to do with it now, though? I think he's still on the board of directors. No, Bill Gates. Bill Gates. Like, if I was that rich, I'd just retire. Why are you doing more things?

Yeah, just be like, someone else can sort out Microsoft Word. He did have that very expensive divorce, you know, which left him basically poverty stricken. But he's done a lot of like good charity work. I know. He has. Yeah, he has actually. Vaccines, malaria, a lot of work to stop malaria and stuff.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I listened to a podcast interview with her. Fascinating woman. Yeah. Fascinating woman. Smart. Very, very smart lady. Smart enough to take half of his money.

No, they built it together. Oh, yeah, they did, I suppose. They were together for the entire time. They built it all together. And then she talked about how they're not just going to, like, leave their kids money. Yeah, that's right. You'd be like, but, man.

But, man. And my baby gets. Man. So I've got the top six things you can expect to see added to TikTok if Microsoft buys it. All right, it's coming up in the top six. Next on the show, though. The number one cause for women to have gym phobia.

Some people have this. You know what? Yes, they do. And it's something that I have been dealing with recently and just trying to embrace. Play Zed M's, Flashborn and Hayley. There was a study done in America that looked at the cause of gym phobia, particularly in women. The reasons they didn't want to go to the gym, their biggest concerns that prevented them from going and working out.

Right. Unsolicited comments from gentlemen in the gym is one of them. I'm sorry, but it's so wild to me that anyone would say anything to anyone at the gym. Both unsolicited comments about their appearance and performance. Now you do remember a few weeks ago I had a performance critique. Do you remember? I was working out and the guy came up to me and was like

twist your arms this way babe. And that's the way you're going to feel the burn. And I was like okay. Oh yeah I don't think we talked about this on air. I think I put this in the chat. Was he right? Did you feel the burn more? okay. Oh yeah, I don't think we talked about this on air. I think I put this in the chat. Was he right? Did you feel the burn more? No.

Right. See, I wouldn't say anything to anyone. Because when the gym I go to, a lot of the time there's trainers all around working with their clients. I think if one of them came up to me and was like, hey, you're just doing this a bit off, I'd be like, thank you. Anyone else in the gym, just let me do it wrong.

I'm just like, just let me do it wrong. I'm just like, just let me do it wrong. I'm here. I'm doing my best. Yeah, that's what counts. At least I'm here. Yeah. Looking stupid or unfit,

too unfit to even be at the gym. I'm like, that's why we're there. You know what I mean? That's sort of why we're there. I think that's silly. Yeah. People that feel

they need to get fit before you go to the gym. Yeah, no, that's cleaning the house before the cleaner comes. Yes. That's ridiculous. Yeah. People that feel they need to get fit before you go to the gym. Yeah, no, that's cleaning the house before the cleaner comes. Yes. That's ridiculous. Yeah. I know there are some gyms that are maybe a bit more posey, you know, a bit more sort of peacocky, but you're alright. They're only

looking at themselves. Okay, someone said this to me. You know, I made my move down from the all-women's gym at Les Mills to the main floor, which is mixed. And I was getting a facial yesterday and the girl was like, where do you work out? I said, Les Mills. She was like, oh, I love the women's only gym. I said, I used to. I'm

downstairs now. She said, big move. And she was like, don't you feel like everyone's sort of so like muscly and big? I was like, everyone who is that muscly is only looking at themselves. They have no interest in what I'm doing. No. With my little pull downs. You know like I'm fine.

So two of the biggest concerns for women was visible sweat marks. Okay. You're there to sweat. Well I'm there to sweat. And visible underwear through your leggings. So VPL. But the number one

sort of cause of this chymphobia Wait should we guess? You have a go. So it's not people looking at you or commenting because you said that. It's not the visibility of your underwear. It's gender specific. So this is females. Just for females.

Camel toe. It's camel toe. Okay. Do you know what? I don't know why. I thought it might have been like, I was wondering if it was like clothes space. Like they've got nicer clothes than me. So I bought some gym specific seam free undies.

You know, like undies you can wear that they're comfortable, they're good coverage and stuff. And ever since then, I have been targeted almost like every fifth reel I look at, camel toe blocking underwear that has in the Is it like a pad in front of it? Yeah, like the gusset has like a pad in it that is stiff. Or like they've just cut a bit of ice cream lid.

Yeah, that's a good one actually. It is though, it's like stiff, like you could barely bend it so that it would sit over your genitals and it wouldn't ever Oh, that would be uncomfortable. It would be so uncomfortable. I'm just like, get it again. Oh, you're wearing tight.

Who cares? Does this study mention what guys? This was specifically women. Right, but guys as well. I guess it's the intimidation thing that everybody's looking at me. Whether they're not muscly enough, wrong technique and that kind of stuff. Less so probably the sweat and the underwear. Don't you get it out.

Who cares? You're alright. Yeah. But camel toe can be avoided. Can it not? Apart from what you just said. Kind of. I mean it depends on the genitals. The underwear of choice. The shorts of choice. Right.

Sometimes it's unavoidable. You sit down, you stand up, it's up there. Yeah, it gets up there. Interesting. Yeah, just get to know each other down there. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Silly little pole, silly little pole It is so silly, silly, silly

That the silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, should you be paying, should you be paying customer to use the bathroom? This is on the back of an article from the US. Now, I don't know if Starbucks have implemented this in their New Zealand stores, but it is... I was recently in one, and yes, it had the picture on the door, the sign on the door.

I only noticed this recently. I was driving back from Tauranga along State Highway 1, the expressway, and I was just frantic for a wee, and I called into one of those, like, side-of-the-road places with, like, takeaways and petrol and stuff.

Every single toilet had one on. Every single one. I was like, can't go in there. Can't go in there. It had a sign or a lock? No, a sign. Or you had to get the key. Starbucks have implemented a policy that customers must make a purchase to enjoy its

spaces. It's not just bathrooms. It's people that go in on their laptop and sit there for two hours and don't even buy a drink. It's not just bathrooms. It's people that go in on their laptop and sit there for two hours and don't even buy a drink. Yeah, that's crap. And also, a lot of, because people are ordering online and then picking up in store,

it's frustrating customers because they don't know that there could be like 20 drinks ahead of you. Yeah, right. Maybe in an empty store. And so they've actually started training their staff and baristas in de-escalation. A three-hour training course.

On how to basically calm people down. On how to calm people down because there's a lock on the toilet and you've got to buy a drink. I mean, never forget. I think it was last year, wasn't it, that I drove to Rotorua and nearly considered pooping into a bag? Yes. When I was driving, I was driving down for an event. And really, here it came. And I had to Rotorua and nearly considered pooping into a bag. Yes. When I was driving, I was driving down for an event. Yeah. And really, here it came.

And I had to go in. But I did the right thing. You bought a drink. I clenched and I bought an ice block. And then said, oh, can I use the bathroom? Yeah. It's a great upsell technique for a place as well. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, exactly. And it's fair enough. I always buy, if I go into, if I really need to pee in a mouth, I'll always go into a cafe, I'll just buy a coffee. Yeah. Just be like, there, exactly. And it's fair enough. If I really need to pee in a mouth, I'll always go into a cafe. I'll just buy a coffee. Yeah. Just be like, there you go. It's when you're traveling that you really struggle to find places, eh? Yeah, totally.

It's a vicious cycle because you go in, you buy the coffee, you go to the toilet, you drink the coffee that you didn't really want. It's a diuretic. And then you need to go to Waze again in 10 minutes. Yeah, and maybe number twos. Yeah. Should you be a paying customer to use the bathroom in a cafe slash store? 55% of respondees said yes. 45% of respondees said no.

Ooh, quite close. Shay, has someone used a toilet at a supermarket? It's weird, eh? Yeah, all the time. It's weird. Our new world's got a toilet. But it's weird, eh? It is weird.

Like pooping or weeing at a supermarket. I've never been caught in a situation where I need to poop. It's just bizarre. You're like, I'm sitting here, but right next to me there's lots of food. Ours is near the fruit and veg entry. Yeah. So it's really wafting right into the fresh bits that you probably won't wash and you'll just eat raw. So yeah, it is weird.

Give him a rinse. Shay says, as someone with a short bowel, I absolutely do not believe I should be required to pay for anything. A short bowel? I've got a long bowel. You're very well endowed. Shay, some of your bowel.

We should hang out. Share bowel. Can you do a bowel transplant? A little bit of this for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. Livvy says, I always make a small purchase if I'm going to use the bathroom. Yep.

Chupa-chup. A chupa-chup or an ice blot. What's the cheapest thing you've got? I'd like to take a huge dump I don't think at a supermarket I would Why are you in the supermarket if you're not buying anything though? Oh yeah that's true Never known

I voted no said Debbie However probably should have been a yes If the mall or street doesn't provide public bathrooms To be honest I thought she was going to say You can't go on the street Which of course you can't Doesn't supply public bathrooms then no But if, I thought she was going to say you can't go on the street, which of course you can't. Doesn't supply public bathrooms, then no,

but if they do have a public facility available, then yes, if you're in a store, you should be paying. But then that's not on the store to provide a public toilet. No.

Jess said, yes, but you need to be allowed to be the customer afterwards. You know, like if there's a toilet emergency, use the loo, then give them some custom on the way out.

Yeah, 100%. I was going to say Fleur, but it's about F-F-L-U-R. Fleur. Fleur. Fleur. Fleur. Fleur.

As an IBS lady, I definitely say no to paying. Oh, right. Or being a customer. Oh, sometimes, yeah. But then I don't know if it's someone's small business, they're paying the water, right?

Yeah, totally. Of course they are. The least you can do is give it a clean. You know, if you've run in there and taken an explosive... Yeah. I was just looking up

how to say fleur on a YouTube video. Oh, yeah. It's a Welsh word. It's short for flower. Flower. Flower. Lovely. Great, that's a's a Welsh word. It's short for flower. Flower. Flower. Lovely.

Great. That's a good little side bit of information. Blah, blah, blah. Come on, mate. Do they, do I, does it get, fleur.

It is fleur. Fleur. Like fleur. Like you're saying flower in a Welsh accent. Okay. Fleur. Lovely.

Go pick a fleur. Fleur. Kim says, pay to relieve my natural bodily functions. Heck no. If public toilets were nicer then maybe charge

but excuse me for wanting to pee in a clean bathroom yeah excuse you Monice says yes but there's also special circumstances

that are an exception if you have a toddler who will pee on the floor if they don't get to the toilet right this second yeah do you want to totally do it like if you've got a kid

that you're toilet training exception yeah staff are paid to clean those toilets. Why should the business have to foot the cost of you doing your business? Yeah. I mean, that's a really good call. If I'm making a solid deposit, I'll buy something to say I'm very sorry about my solid deposit.

Solid deposit! So it's more of a guilt move from Zach. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll buy a little singlet top. Otherwise, pee-wee-wees is fine and should just be a polite head tilt and a thank you on the way out. Right.

Good to have manners in these situations. Pee-wee-wees and a solid deposit. That is today's silly poll. Sorry, you talk for a second. What have you done? I was just trying to clear my throat and it got all caught up. You can't be angry at us.

You were the one that dragged the sickness into our beautiful, clean, healthy lives. Every day I've said this is the last of it. I'll do a little, ahem, and they'll be like, that's it. Done. That's it. I don't know why I'm being blamed for this. You brought it from the plane. You brought back a plane pole.

And because of your superior metabolism and immune system, you've beaten it quicker. Yeah, it took a day. A day or two. What is this? Oh, this is two weeks. Anyway, I'm back. Okay, there is a woman. Where the heck is this? It's in the UK. In the UK, of course it is.

I expected this behaviour from a man. I know. So there is a woman who has ended up in court. She's been left with 12 months of community service. 12 months of community service. 12 months of community service. 12, that's, yeah. After pleading guilty to pursuing a course of conduct

amounting to harassment, right? So you go serious. We don't advocate for harassment here. This is online. So is this their online version of what we've got? What is it, the digital harm? Yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Because she sent a series of WhatsApp

messages to her current partner's ex-partner, another woman. Right. And her current partner and his ex were having a little bit of a sort of tough time communicating over child time. Right. They share a child together. How often

can we see them? So the current partner took it upon herself to send videos of her farting directly into the phone and then smirking to the woman, to the ex. She sent

like dozens of these. Some people make good money for this sort of thing online. I know. I'm like, honey, get that shit on OnlySkin. Get an OnlySkin online. Yeah. Some people really like that. So she sent some at the end of December.

She sent the first one, and it was the prosecutor. Yeah. Not the prosecutor. The woman, the main woman, she smirks at the camera and then puts it down onto her buttocks, farts, and then smiles and sends it off. And then a couple of days later there were three more. And the next few days there were four more of the same nature, Miss Evans passing wind and then her face smiling at the camera.

It got so much that the woman was like, I don't feel safe in my home. These, like, farty videos are getting too much. So she pursued it with police and was like, I'm being harassed. Sent off all these fart videos, which I imagine as police, we've got to take it seriously,

this harassment. Yeah, you wouldn't be able to laugh. A woman's not feeling good. No. You'd have a giggle. You'd have a little giggle. You'd wait till she left, and then you'd have a good laugh.

You'd have a little bit of a giggle. And then when she was arrested at her home for the video, she admitted that she had sent them. She did so because she thought that her partner was being treated unfairly by the ex. Right. And she just wanted to give her, you know, a little bit of a F you, basically. Yeah. And now she's got 12 months community service.

12 months community service. I have been unable to find the videos. Did they not have those evidence in court? Yeah, they're in police evidence, but I haven't been able to find one. I just sort of want to see the smirk more than the fart. Yeah, I want to see what the smirk, was it an intimidating smirk?

Yeah, like, ha-ha. I just love that every time she needed to fart, she's like, get the phone. Yeah, I know. She's like, oh, oh, oh, hang on, hang on, hang on, quick smirk. Ha, ha. Pfft. Ha, ha.

Whoop. Wow. 12 months. So if you're thinking that that's a funny thing to do, it's actually a form of harassment and you will get community service. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.

Hello there. Today's top six dealing with the fact that apparently, according to their president, Microsoft would like to buy the Chinese-owned part of TikTok. I think a lot of people would. It wasn't Mr. Beast wanting to get a group of people together. They don't want to sell it. No, it's not for sale.

But apparently Microsoft could be in talks to buy TikTok. I've got the top six things you'll see added to TikTok if Microsoft buys it. Okay. Number six on the list. You're almost finished a fire video. It is going to go so great. You accidentally hit tab and you just absolutely F everything up. It's all out of whack.

And this is going around the thing and there's breaks in there. Yeah, there's breaks and it pushes everything out to like a, oh no. It's put bullet points in. A bullet point and then a number as well. It's all shunted to the right. It's somehow become right aligned. Yeah, yeah. How is it right aligned? It's going to have to start right. Yes. It's somehow become right aligned. Yeah, yeah. How is it right aligned?

It's going to have to start again. Yeah. Throw a massive shitty start again. Number five on the list of the top six things we'll see added to TikTok

if Microsoft buys it. Great borders. Great borders around whatever you're making. Love that. Any video you're making a nice little candle border. Yeah.

A big candle border. Reminiscent of Microsoft Publisher. A true hero. RIP no longer with us. Yeah, it doesn't exist anymore. Oh, man. I used to love that for my 12th birthday. Do the border.

Publisher slapped, man. You were so good. Publisher was the one-stop shop for a school assignment, that's for sure. Number four on the list of the top six things you'll see added to TikTok if Microsoft buys it. It'll work on your Xbox. But the gamer who owns the Xbox would rather he threw the Xbox out the window

than you ever use it for nothing but scrolling TikTok. Mention that. You have a lovely entertainment system. And then someone's just using it to scroll TikTok. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Number three on the list of the top six things you'll see added to TikTok if Microsoft buys it.

You can play Minesweeper if you know how to get there from the start menu. There's just no rhyme or reason how to play the game. There is. You just click. Yeah, there is. The day you unlock how to play Minesweeper will be a great day. You'll remember it. You just stick to your solitaire.

Yeah, I'm solitaire. I remember the first time I finished a big Minesweeper. I was like, what do I do now? Learn how to play hearts? That's ridiculous. Hearts? What is hearts? Can we talk about that later? I played Spider Solitaire is where I drew the line. I also didn't know how that worked.

Number two on the list of the top six things you will see added to TikTok when Microsoft buys it. Remember on MySpace when everyone was friends with Tom? Tom was just your MySpace friend. Well, on TikTok, everyone will follow Bill Gates. Right. And Bill Gates is doing a neat new series called Gates with Bill Gates,

and he finds some cool gates. Oh, that's great. I love Gates. That's a great idea. I want to do Gates. Gates. Yeah. And you'll just see it anyway.

And number one on the list of the top six things you'll see added to TikTok where Microsoft buys it, Clippy. Oh, Clippy. Clippy, and just as you're editing a video, he'll say, it looks like you're trying to create a viral video. Would you like me to help? And you're like, Clippy, you are 28 years old. Yeah.

I think you're too old. Yeah. Not your generation, Clippy. Nah, Clippy. Back off, dude. Yeah. You're old. You're kind of millennial, dude.

Yeah. This is a Gen Z thing. And then Clippy cries and says, you'd be nothing without me. You don't know how hard it was. And then you change him to the dog. Yeah. This is a Gen Z thing. And then Clippy cries and says, you'd be nothing without me. You don't know how hard it was. And then you change him to the dog. Yeah. Or the wizard. Or the wizard.

Office assistant. And then back to Clippy because O.J. He was the O.J. big dog that should have been in charge all along. That is today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. This has been such a weird question for me for many years. I started donating blood maybe like five years ago, four years ago.

Okay. After I came off of Accutane because you can't do it when you're on the acne medication. No, it makes your blood like poisoned. Really? It makes your blood green. Yeah, green. It goes green. Fluorescent, almost neon green.

Yeah. So they've called it discriminatory. Discriminatory. What? Discriminatory rules, which used to prevent gay and bisexual men who have had sex with other men in the recent times, prevented them from donating blood, which is a life-saving thing you can do.

It's very easy. It takes, like, no time. Are you just summing in more of your charity here? Summing in more of my charity than I do. I haven't been able to do it for a while because of the tox and the tattoos. Yeah, because that's another rule. It's tattoos, right?

Yeah, tattoos is one of them. Botox, some places are like, no, it's not a problem because you never really get it on the back alleys. I'm sorry. I don't want to be bleeding out in a hospital and get Hayley's Botox and then all of a sudden my, like, face doesn't... Excuse me?

So what? I saved your life and you look a bit better hospital and get Hayley's Botox. And then all of a sudden my, like, face doesn't. Excuse me? So what? I saved your life and you look a bit better. And you look a little bit better. Sorry. What if it numbed the wrong areas? Yeah. Yeah, true. You can't really feed it into the forehead.

Yeah. I don't think that's how Botox works. Yeah, no, not quite. But it's the needle. It's the use of the needle. Yeah. Anyway, so you used to go into the blood service and you would fill in a form

and ask these questions, vaccinations, have you been sick, have you done this, have you been mad cow disease, da-da-da-da, were you born in this time? Yeah, did you cheat on your girlfriend with a guy? No. One of them was always, this was my thing that I always was like,

this is where there was like a double standard. There was always a question that said, have you slept with anyone, have you slept with anyone who may have slept with someone of the same sex? And you'd always be like, no. But you're like, when I was not in a long-term relationship, how would I know? You wouldn't know.

When I was having casual liaisons, how would I know? I'm not asking them, hey, by the way, I don't suppose you've slept with a man because I'm going to donate blood after this. Right. You never do it. Nobody would donate blood after this right nobody would ever ask that no one would ever ask that so we're all ticking no and then they're like a-okay

let's take your blood and yet it would have been a hell of a time to come clean on cheating on your partner too at the New Zealand Blood Service

have you slept with someone yeah you're ticking no and you look over at his and you're like yes I have yes I have I don't know why I feel I need to tell you

when I can't tell her or anybody that's right so this is all due to change next year and this has been Yes, I have. Yes, I have. I don't know why I feel I need to tell you when I can't tell her or anybody. That's right. So this is all due to change next year. And this has been like long lobbied for. 100%. And do you know what is interesting to me? Because the whole thing, I think it's an old stigma of HIV in homosexual men, right?

And they would go, well, you know, we don't want the risk. I would say that my gay friends, men who sleep with other men, are all round more sexually safe than my heterosexual friends that sleep casually with people. Right. 100%, I'd say that. They're either using condoms

or they're on PrEP, which is like one of the most revolutionary drugs ever. You don't know what it is. It's like if you have HIV and you take PrEP, you can't transmit it, right? And if you are taking PrEP and you don't have HIV, you basically can't get it.

It's like the closest thing to curing this awful thing, you know? So anyway, it's due to change. So the chief medical officer at NZ Blood, Dr. Sarah Morley, said that they've known that these are antiquated rules for years. They're working towards it. Medsafe is approving different ways of assessing blood health for all people regardless of who they're slept with. And because they test all the blood

anyway right? I hope so. You haven't just dumped my terrible blood in there. Certainly hope so. So they say at this stage we anticipate that individualised donor assessments will be introduced in 2026, committed to change.

We look forward to welcoming more gay, bisexual, takatapui and other men who have sex with other men to our whānau of lifesavers. This is great. This is great. Very positive for you. Very positive.

Very positive. And if you are able to give blood today, go and do it. It's very, very easy. Can you send me free biscuits? You get bickies. Oh, excellent. The gays love a bicky and a cup of tea.

Why not? It's a lot of carbs, though, in biscuits. Yeah. It is. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. I'm pretty up with it. I'm pretty hip.

I'm pretty cool. Dude, you're the hippest guy on the block. Yeah, it certainly makes it sound like it when you say, when you preface it with that. That's what all the hip people do. What about how I said it, but my voice is lower because I've got a cold? Yeah, yeah, that's hot and hip and cold. So yesterday I learned Drake was coming to

New Zealand to do some shit. But I only learned because he's upset people because he's rescheduled these shows this late in the game. Two New Zealand shows have been rescheduled. He was supposed to play on Friday, February 28th and Saturday, 1st of March

after he finished his Australian shows. Yesterday, people were notified. A month away. Less than a month away? Yeah. Four weeks today? Was when it was supposed to happen? A.com, that's all booked.

Of course. When these things happen, as soon as you get yourlights, ACOM, that's all booked, eh? Of course. When these things happen, as soon as you get your tickets, you've got to get your flights, you've got to get your accommodation. You know, maybe like pre-pandemic you could sort out your flights and it probably wouldn't be too much. Oh, you'd be able to jump on a little $79 or something? No, you've paid hundreds. Not anymore.

Yeah. Revised dates for Auckland shows are now Saturday, March 15, and Sunday, March 16. So two weeks later. Yeah. Revised dates for Auckland shows are now Saturday, March 15 and Sunday, March 16. So two weeks later. So is there something happening at the end of Feb? Yeah. Do you remember this has happened before?

People have gone to parties? Yes. He's added two extra Australian shows but hasn't said that's the reason why. Is it awards? It's awards season? Feb? Is he like, I've got to make this thing? But you know that. That's not a surprise. It's the reason why. Like, is it awards? It's awards season? Like, he's like... Feb? Is he like, oh, I've got to make this thing? But you know that.

That's not a surprise. It's not a surprise. Those dates were announced, like, you know, far out. Fans aren't happy. Grammy's date is the 3rd of February, so it's not that. It's not that.

It's way sooner. I just looked on what's on in Auckland that weekend because if something massive was on, of course, then accommodation is going to be a nightmare to rebook because chances are

people have already booked it. No like massive massive events. Okay. What's he doing? I know what you mean though.

What was it? Who was it? There was a celebrity that moved their thing and then it all came out that it was to go to a Kardashian party.

Blink 182. Something like that and then they did a big reshuffle and everyone was like you did that so you could go to bloody this person's party. Blink-182. Something like that. And then they did a big reshuffle and everyone was like, you did that so you could go to bloody this person's party. Yeah. And you screwed thousands of people. Yeah.

Well, especially in New Zealand, a lot of people have to travel to Auckland for these shows. Yeah, exactly. From all over New Zealand. You only get Travis Scott. Travis Scott, that's right. US driver Travis Scott faced backlash in October last year after he moved his Eden Park show forward by one day

so he could get out quicker to go back. And then as soon as he was done, people were saying, remember, he was like singing on the cart that was driving him to the private jet that was getting him to the Kardashian Christmas party or something like that. Yeah, yeah. Everyone was like, thanks. Thanks for bothering. That's fine.

Producer Shannon, this has affected your friend group, the Drake reschedule. Yeah, so one of my good friends has her engagement party that night, and a few people RSVP'd no because there was Drake, but also 660 happening that night. But now that Drake... What, like they haven't seen 660 eight other times? I thought that was fine. Or can't see them another eight other times. We love 660, but you know what I mean.

I'm not going to one of your important events because of 660. Yeah, an engagement party. And it's a really important one to RSVP too. It's on a boat. I'm very excited. Oh, so we've got limited numbers. We've got catering. So this boat party was originally when he was meant to play.

March 1st. Right. And now are people crawling back to the party. I'm free now. You've made your bed. Yeah. If you've RACP'd, no, you're no, right? What did your friend understand?

Because this was a big concert. Of course. And, like, you know, if people don't come, they don't come. And it's cheaper for her, right? Yeah, true. Although, if you're hiring a boat. Wait, is she paying for the hen's party? Everyone's paying for the hen's party.

No, it's not a hen's. It's an engagement party. It's the boat. Is it boat per person or you just pay for the boat? Well, for alcohol and food. Alcohol and food. Yeah, right. The canapes, bro.

You pay per life jacket. Right. So if you're happy to lose a few, you save some dollars. You can come on, but there will be no jacket for you. No, no, no. And so is she letting people back on the boat? I haven't asked because when it came out yesterday, I kind of went, oh, hello.

And she's like, I know. And I was like, I couldn't read her vibe of like, are we laughing or are we not? Funny. It'll be interesting to see. At least you'll have more friends. Isn't that what people want? They just want like as many people as they can.

They're not for a couple hundred dollars a head though, I reckon. Nah, yeah, you're right. And a quick Drake over your love. I don't know. Yeah, Drake. I mean, I get it. Drake over your love. I don't know. You're Drake. I mean, I get it. He's a massive artist. So I'm just trying to figure it out.

Have they given any scheduling conflicts? God, that's vague. Yeah. It's so vague. You just don't double walk. No, it's rude. It's very rude. It's very rude.

What it is, is very rude. Drake should have said, I'm sorry, I can't. I can't make it. I have a prior commitment to the people of Aotearoa. I have a date with two Eden Park loads of people. Yeah, that's right. And that's a lot of people. That's lots of people.

Helen Clark will be stoned. Oh, sure. It should be like two more weeks of peace and quiet. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hi. That was a great example of one. Do you know what I think is a great marker of the millennial pause? It's not just the amount

of time or like silence it's the It's so funny You would have seen this online, people absolutely mocking to death the millennial pause and one of my favourite ways that they mock it is by editing a millennial

giving a speech, editing out all the words and just having the millennial pa that they mock it is by editing a millennial giving a speech, editing out all the words and just having the millennial pauses. It's just space to trim the video. It's just us making sure that the video's on and just making sure it's all set up. And we're clear. We're good to go. We just want to make sure that the video's started. We're not clipping off The top of the words

It's fine The millennial pause Apparently Gen Z Has their own little version Of this And I'm going to I'm going to bring you in

Shannon Because you are our Our Gen Z-er Yes And you Are in charge also Of editing

Our videos Yes A room full of millennials And you Admitted to us That you do do A room full of millennials. And you admitted to us that you do do a fair bit of cutting out of our millennial pauses. You guys are quite good. You do it very purposefully.

So it's a clean in and a clean out. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. That's actually just professional broadcasters. Yeah. But there are times I notice it where it's not purposeful. Thank you.

And I will say past radio stations I've worked at, it was a lot worse. You guys are the best I've worked with. Oh, thank you so much. In so many ways, I imagine. I mean, you'll never miss a video because we've clipped the top of it. No, exactly. You know, we're starting.

Yeah, exactly. I hate that. That's worse. Yes. Oh, yeah, no, no. A second to breathe. Well, you can't get that back post-edit. I'll tell you that much.

You can't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can trim us, but you can't add on. AI probably can. Oh, yeah, yeah. You can trim us, but you can't add on. AI probably can. Oh, yeah, probably can, actually. Probably can't get to the point where it's like, hey, this is about clipped off. Can you just imagine what it would have been?

Because I keep getting lots of ads for that app that turns photos into videos. I don't like it. I don't like it either. So people can bring back their dead parents. It was the first time that they showed the granddad a picture of his wife and then had some song that she'd sung some recording and they matched it up. And he was like, that's exactly what it was like being there.

And you were like, oh, cute. And then they made Sydney Sweeney and Alexandra Daddario kiss from two different photos. And I was like, who did this? I've tried the kissing one. I just was curious. With who? My partner.

Just two photos of us. But you know what it looks like. You do kiss. Also, you live with him. But you know what it looks like. You do kiss. Also, you live with him. Why didn't you just kiss him? In long distance. Yeah. Just kiss him.

He's there. No, I needed AI to help me. So I want to check this with you because apparently Gen Z has their own thing. It's called the Gen Z shake. Yeah, and I'm guilty of that. Do you know what this is? So when we're about to start a video, we do a big hefty pause, click our teeth,

take a big breath, and we start talking. They go like, shake their phone like this as they start talking. Well, that's a terrible point to edit. Yeah, well, I think what it is is we're so anti-millennial pause

that we're starting with some movement. Too much energy. We're launching into the video. So yeah, you'll notice this heaps on TikTok, and I've started doing it. Every time you start, you kind of whip into it. Yes, it's a whip in. It's a whip in.

Like, hey guys, and the phone's like shaking around. Like, hey guys, get ready with me to go to the supermarket. I've never noticed it, but I will keep an eye out for it now. Now, I didn't realise, but now that I've been made privy to this, I can't unsee it. Right. And just as I was having a little scroll there to cross-reference, it's everywhere.

The Gen Z shame. And now Gen Z's are being mocked as much as the millennial whores. Welcome to the mock party, babes. How does it feel? I might go cry about it in the toilet. How very Gen Z of you. And I might need a day off. What we're going to do is we're going to get mocked.

You need a micro retirement. A micro retirement. We're going to push it down. A micro-retirement. We're going to push it down for years and years until we need therapy later. That's the millennial way. That or a stroke. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. So tomorrow from 8am, you can have your Friday

night tonight, but don't go too rowdy. Because 8am on TVNZ Plus, a new series called Queer Aotearoa, We've Always Been Here, premieres. Can I say, you don't have to watch this at 8am. I don't know why that's in the press for us. It's called Saturday

Gay for a reason. Saturday Gay. You can do that with any day. No, you're going to eat it over brunch, the gayest meal. And you've got to enjoy it. So, Queer Aotearoa, We've Always Been Here,est meal, and you've got to enjoy it. So Queer Aotearoa, we've always been here. We're privy to episode one, which was all about queer entertainers in New Zealand and the pressures and the prejudice that they've faced.

Tell us about the whole series as a whole. What's it all about? Basically, they found a lot of amazing archival footage. They've done a lot of incredible interviews. The footage is incredible. The footage is wild, eh? And basically, it goes from pre-colonial times

to now, telling the story of our queer history in this country. And so there's just different episodes. There's heavier ones about AIDS, and then there's also, obviously, this one about media TV. There's one about religion. Yeah, it kind of covers all things.

Did you look into why Because this is I straight up remember Mrs. Tritt In history class Taught us about why Rugby was so popular In the early days of New Zealand Because men often moved out here

With their family They'd come later They were lacking physical touch But they were worried Because back in the day No no no We don't be gay I've said no

No no I'm in the eyes of the Lord. But get in there and, like, have a rummage around with the boys. That's like a nice cuddle, yeah. They invented the scrum. Yeah, totally. Just a touch. And they were so far away on the other side of the world from their loved ones

and they were just, oh, you just get in there, boys. Well, I think there's some stories in there that are the same about, like, World War II that, like, basically a lot of men kind of fell in love with other men at World War II. And then they just had to come back and be like, oh, here I am with my wife. Yeah. Yeah.

It's pretty amazing. We were just talking about the New Zealand Blood Service changing their rules in a year's time, that gay and bi and men that sleep with other men can give blood. Yeah. Because of the stigma that only homosexual men could get AIDS or HIV. And that's taken so long. So long.

And we've had all the drugs where, like, you can't pass on HIV. We've had that for so many years. Yeah, every other country's, like, got rid of that rule years ago. Yeah, this is what I said earlier. All my gay friends are way safer with sex practices than all my straight friends. Totally. 100%.

Gay men get chicks all the time. All the time Heterosexuals are like, I'm fine It just burns a little bit when I pee I don't know if this is bad but I don't want to give blood I always faint at the blood test Oh Eli! I faint all the time. Yeah they gave me a test

and they were like, take some time off their chimp You need a couple of cookies Once I fainted from a blood test In the hospital And if you do it in the hospital Like 20 people run in And then 20 people ran in The good news

Had this was a while ago Because there's not that many people Working in our hospitals anymore That's true, thank God And thank you to the new government I like come to And then one of the nurses was like Hey, weren't you on Dancing with the Stars?

Worst day of my life. So good. It was amazing watching episode one, the likes of, like, Mike Peru and Madeline Sami and Anika Moore talking about, and the top twins, talking about how when they first started out and they realised either they were gay and they knew it or they realised after they started being in the public eye

that they were gay how hard it was for them and how they felt such a stigma and like these nerves and it was a secret. To me, I feel, I mean, I'm coming sort of later in the party, it feels unimaginable that that would be the case. Like I just feel like now I'd be like, oh, who cares almost? Yeah, I sort of talk about that in the show because I worked at the same radio station that Mike did after he did

and then like it just was unimaginable to me to sort of change the pronouns of my partner when I was talking about them on air to like disguise them. It's so wild. And like Anika Moore talks about it in the show, like them being like, you'll never be as successful if you tell people you're a lesbian. But then she told people and she was even more successful.

It wasn't even that. Yeah. And then how like there was so successful. It wasn't even that. Yeah. More beloved. And then how, like, there was so much prejudice towards some people like that. We were like, we prefer, you know, if Anika Moore was straight or Madeline Sami was straight. But we've always loved Hudson and Halls.

And we've always loved the Top Twins. We love the Top Twins. And they play a bit of a Top Twins song. Basically, they're on a farm being like, we're lesbians at a farm. Like, it was like like they weren't hiding it at all yeah

this is an amazing series and like I said we only got to watch episode one but I can't wait to watch the rest of it it's great it's so cool

and you can follow them on TikTok as well they're uploading like bonus archival footage on queer.altarra and it's yeah there's lots of cool clips

I mean you're great in it but the archival footage itself is like almost worth it what did family bar look like in 1816 oh yeah you know there's lots of cool clips. I mean, you're great in it, but the archival footage itself is like almost worth it. What did Family Bar look like in 1816? Oh, yeah. You know, there's a lot of horses. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's, to me, the lasers were still there. Yeah. But the horses. And they still had, I hope they had the pokies. Yeah. But the pokies were there, but the horses kept using them. They were still doing appletinis mainly. Good, good, good, good.

Well, Queer Aotearoa on TVNZ Plus from 8am tomorrow morning. You don't have to watch it then. You can watch it at your leisure. Well, I'll be up at 8. Get out and watch it. Eli, thank you so much for coming in. Thanks for having me. Enjoy your gay tennis.

Thank you. It's actually just like normal tennis. It's like pickleball. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. So, Amy Schumer, comedian actress Amy Schumer, she's 42 years old and she was at a party recently and the lovely Bradley Cooper came up to her

and he recently has turned 50 and was telling her about turning 50, how he feels. He feels good, feeling good, love 50, looking forward to it, it's going to be great. And he just says to her, you're 50, was telling her about turning 50, how he feels. He feels good. Feeling good. I love 50. Looking forward to it. It's going to be great. And he just says to her, you're 50, eh? You're about 50? And she was like, no. Now, given being 42 is not that far

away. But it's still nearly a decade away. And also just 50 is like, it's a marker, you know? It's really, here we are, we're 50. And she said she was like, not quite. And she, like, Amy Schumer being here we are, we're 50. She was like, not quite. And she, like, Amy Schumer being Amy Schumer, had a great sense of humour about it and was like. Oh, she's obviously talked about it publicly.

Yeah, yeah, totally. I think she found it quite funny. I think her response was like, I will be 50, but not yet. Just not yet, yeah. Anyway. Because they're all over 50 now. All Bradley Cooper and all of the, everyone in The Hangover movie. Yeah, the Hollywood people. Yeah.

Everyone's getting over 50. Brad Pitt is close to 60. 60? If not 60. 61 years old. Are you kidding me? My dad's 63. Yeah.

Crazy. Brad Pitt. That's crazy, man. Like, he's so beautiful. That's so crazy. Brad Pitt. That's crazy, man. Like, he's so beautiful. That's so crazy. Anyway. He's a good looking man. Not talking about Brad, we're talking about Bradley. So yeah, Bradley came. I mean, like, it's just an honest

mistake. He was just yarning, you know, talking about being 50. Are you 50 yet? I want to know, because I feel like this has happened to lots of people before. When you were mis-aged ruthlessly like this, and maybe it was even the other way around. But it never hurts when it's the other way around.

It hurts when someone over-ages you. Totally. But, I mean, if you're a homeowner. No, but when you're young and you get under-aged, it's insulting because you're trying to get to that age. Yeah. You want to look a little bit older so people maybe take you seriously or you don't need to be ID'd or whatever.

And then you get to a certain age where all of a sudden someone's up aging you and you're like, I don't like that anymore. I want to go back to that sweet spot of 23. Or like if you're like a grown ass woman running a grown ass household, you open the door for a curry and they're like, is your mum home?

You'd be like, this is my house. Take the compliment. Oh yeah, the skin's looking tight. But yeah, when did someone get your age terribly wrong like this? And maybe you were deeply offended. Okay, 0800-DARZATM. Call us now. Text in 9696.

When did someone mis-age you and you were deeply offended? We want to know when you were mis-aged, when someone mis-aged you and offended you. Because Bradley Cooper, who just turned 50, asked Amy Schumer, are you 50? No, she's 42. 42. She said, no, I'm not 50. I will be. Yeah, she's seen the humorous side of it. She's seen the humorous side of it indeed.

But sometimes it ain't funny. Anonymous, you were mistaken and mis-aged. Absolutely, yeah. Not happy. Oh, no. Oh, OK. So what happened? OK, so my ex-partner was 12 years younger than me and he looked quite young. And we went on our very first overseas holiday to Bali

and we went into the store and he was talking away to the guy at the counter because he was checking out stuff and I was wandering around the store. Anyway, I eventually went up to him and my ex was telling him, you know, we've just come to Bali. It's our third time.

We've brought the family over, blah, blah, blah. And then he turned and the counter guy saw me and he said, oh, isn't it so nice that you brought your mum with you? Oh, for God's sake, darling. Anonymous. Yeah. Really? Really? I don't think so. Oh, for God's sake, darling. Anonymous. Oh, yeah. Really?

Really? I don't think so. I thought it was looking pretty hot that day, you know? Yeah. Were you talking in this tone, though? Because this tone's ageing you a little bit, no offence. No. This tone's giving you big sort of like Karen energy,

ageing you up a little bit. Do you know Anonymous, I would have if they did that to me, I would have been like, I would have just kissed my partner on the mouth real passionately and made them be like, ooh. We're a very close family. I should have just done it. I should have just, yeah. Nice to go with your mum, you're like, isn't it?

Anonymous, thank you. Megan, when were you mis-aged? Yeah, so I once sent an email inquiry to a dance studio, and I was asking about a specific level of tap dance that they might have, and I got a response that was like, oh, well, judging by the level that you're asking about, I would assume that you're like 12 to 13 years old, and I was like 26 at the time.

A 12-year-old! Oh, wow. And they didn't even, I mean, that's over email. You shouldn't assume that. Exactly. And I was like, what 12 to 13-year-old is emailing a dance studio, like asking about a level when usually it would be a parent asking right now? But also, Megan, what 26-year-old's emailing a dance tutor asking about tap dancing?

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Surely a very rare. Megan, tap is an art form. Can I ask you, Megan, do you use capital letters at the start of a sentence? Yes. See, that's a giveaway that you're not 12 or 13.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Megan, thank you. Some messages in. Jehovah's Witness asked if my sister, who was only 16 months older than me, was my mum. Ouch.

There's a few of them. That's good, though. Bragging rights. I also got told my sister and I look so much alike. I don't have a sister. It was my mum. At the time, I was 40. My mum was 63.

Good for mum, though. Yeah, mum's obviously keeping it tight. Good the time, I was 40. My mum was 63. Oh. Good for mum, though. Yeah, mum's obviously keeping it tight. Good for mum. I love this. My friend was singing to herself in the toilet, boozed as hell at a 30th in a club. Security came busting in and said,

is there a child in here? Is she, like, twangled? Keep your texts coming in 9696 0800 Darls at M We'll get to more of those next Bradley Cooper Asked Amy Schumer

If she was 50 You were around 50 right? No He just assumed They were around About the same age Some great stories coming in Yeah

Oh I know I'm only 200 years Older than my partner And I've been called His mum twice Oh my god Once was at the hospital. I'm also five and a half foot tall and he's six foot four with a baby face.

Oh, it's a baby. Five and a half foot. Does she mean five foot five or does she mean five foot and half an inch? And a half an inch. No, five five, right? Because if I was a six foot man next to a five foot, because let's face it, if you're saying five and a half, you're just five foot five. You're five.

How big was the father? It's the baby face, isn't it? It's the baby face. Some men just have it. Two of my mates went into a bank. One was opening an account, and the, careful saying that word, an account, and the teller said to him, would you like to open one for your son too? But they were partners.

Someone thought my husband was my dad. He's five years younger than me. He really didn't take that well. Yeah. I constantly get asked if my husband and I are twins. So there you go. He's nine years younger than me. Apparently we're twins, but they look so much alike that they could go on the siblings or dating.

I don't really want to be told that. Do you know what I mean? If I'm dating someone? Are you guys twins? Yuck. No. Yeah. I chose them If I'm dating someone? Yeah. Are you guys twins? Yuck. No. Yeah. I chose them.

Or are you siblings? Yeah. Because you look alike. I was in a relationship with a man 14 years older than myself. I often got the, it's nice of you,

it's nice of your dad to go shopping with you. Oh my God. Nice of your dad to go shopping. Well he probably was paying. Yeah. It's hot.

That's hot. That's hot. Oh icky. Sorry. They found icky. They tried to dress a little bit older. Yeah.

My two daughters are 11 and 23. Bit of an age gap there. When I go out with them, the younger one pretends her older sister is her mum and I'm the grandma. No one bats an eyelid that maybe I'm the grandma. People are more concerned that my eldest daughter has the baby. But if the eldest daughter had the baby, she would have been 12. Yeah.

I have also got this multiple times. I like going out for dinner with my mum. She's just a good person to go out for dinner with. And the server will always say, and what will your partner have? My mum is 60 and I'm 32. So I never know if it means she looks really good or I look really old or it's somewhere in the middle. Somewhere in the middle.

Also, the first time it ever happened was in Burger King and a bunch of girls asked if we'd had a good date. Oh. Then it was my mum. I went to Cobb & Co with my parents at the age of 21 and they gave me the kids' menu. Baby face. That's a baby face.

I'm now 45 and I don't know if I've got PTSD or something, but I still wish it happened. I dropped my 18-month-old niece at daycare a couple of weeks ago because her parents were busy. They obviously know I'm not one of the parents. I am 44 years old, only four years older than her parents, and I got asked if I was grandma. Oh.

I just think. You could be. You can be a 44-year-old grandma. Yeah. I also think, though, if you see a woman with a child, never be like, never say grandchild or child. Like, just never assume. It's like if you see a pregnant woman,

you never assume she's pregnant. Unless there is a foot hanging out of her vagina, we are not assuming anything. Even then, she might just have a funny-looking fanny. It might just be the fanny. It might be a foot fanny. I've heard of them. It might be a botched thing. Even then, she might just have a funny looking fanny. It might be a foot fanny, I've heard of them. It might be a botched thing. Do we have a text of the week?

Okay, buying R18 items at a self-checkout, the check-out looked at me and said, yeah, you're over 18. I entered the birth year as 1980. I'm 40, aka being, they assumed I was 45. I am 26. Yep.

I am 26 years old. My 32 year old husband said it was probably just a random year that they picked out and there were so many options and he tried to make me feel better. I said, 2005 was an option.

1990 was a goddamn option. And it really ruined my day. I like how the husband there tried to, you've got a classic situation there of the husband trying to make you feel better when he didn't even make you feel bad and you get angry at him. I know, he's in the firing line. So this text of the week is actually for your husband.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got a $50 Animates voucher. Thanks to Animates making happy happen for pets. Look, I just want to say we're all beautiful. We're all looking great. No matter what age. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, no matter what age.

Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Hayley, it's your pick today for Friday Flashback. Yeah, it is indeed. We talked about this earlier in the week actually. Why do you need your licence for Friday Flashback? Just doing some verification for things. Okay.

And I just want people to know. Wait, are you doing online shopping? No, I'm not doing online shopping. I'm not doing any shopping of the sort. Kind of sounds like you are. No, I'm still trying to work out the ticket thing. You know, that's this like, am I getting scammed thing? I'm a real person, are you?

Anyway. So we talked about this earlier in the week that Katy Perry has announced her version of the Errors Tour. It's called the Lifetimes Tour. And funny information has come out about it, actually, that the set times are much earlier in the day and everyone's like, she's a mom. She gets it.

She gets it, man. Well, I'm not even a mom or a dad, but I like going to concerts early. Totally. You are a daddy. Come on, but I like going to concerts early. Totally. You are a daddy. Come on. There's nothing that makes us happier. We talked about this.

I was like, next week, you're going to come out to my house, and we're going to have a little spa. And we both agreed, everyone out by nine? Yeah, exactly. Ideally, actually, everyone out by 8.30, bed by nine. Yeah, 100%. It's dreamy. So I have gone with Katy Perry because she's announced this world tour excluding New Zealand.

So she's not coming to New Zealand. 13 dates across Australia. So if you want to see her, don't hold out for a New Zealand show. You're going to have to go to Aussie. Yeah. So I just went back to the very beginning, you know? Okay. And I just went with one of the greatest songs from 2008, I Kissed a Girl and I Like It, from Katy Perry.

It's your Friday flashback on ZM. Katy Perry on ZM. It's your Friday flashback, I Kissed a Girl. She's announced her big Australian worldwide tour, not coming to New Zealand. Yeah, love it. Feedback? Great.

Okay, so you've done well. Someone said, Hayley is a rock girlie. It's criminal you didn't pick the rock version of this song. I didn't know she did it. Let me have a little giggle. A little rocky version of it.

A little rock version. She's like, Great song, Certified Banger. Okay. People love it. That song holds up. Right.

And she released some absolute clangers. I found it. I'm just checking it's got my swear words in it. People say that got me fired up. Certified blue tick banger. Good choice, Hayley Banger. We're happy about this.

Banger, banger, banger. You know me. Shannon did at this stage, I'll just let you know, Shannon did want to come on here and tell everybody the conspiracy theory that Katy Perry is JonBenet Ramsey. Why are you giving this airtime? Why are you giving this airtime? did want to come on here and tell everybody the conspiracy theory that Katy Perry is JonBenet Ramsey. Why are you giving this air time? Why are you giving this air time?

Shannon, I sometimes think the roast thing that happened off air was so good it should have also partially happened on air. I think sometimes you're like an old relative

that needs to stay off the internet. This is the thing, I didn't want children and yet we are so responsible for you all the time. We just need to look out for her in this world. She's our little baby bird.

I'm confiscating her device. I'm putting a limit on her screen time too. No TikTok after 7. No, I do that. I offload the app every night at 6.30 now. Good girl. But JonBenet Ramsey is one of my favourite cold cases of all time. Hey listeners, sorry, we're here

but I do not stand by this. No, this is what you're about to hear is complete and utter fictional horseshit. Carry on, please. JonBenet Ramsey is Katy Perry. Okay. Right. I've looked it up. I sent you guys some links.

I don't want to read those links. I don't want the links. The next thing you know, we'll be getting Robert. Yeah. RFK, RFK medical advice. Do you want fluoride in the water or not, Shannon? Do you want fluoride in the water or not? I don't really know what that is. But Katie Perry's

come out saying she's not. Oh my God! She would say that though. Why would she admit it? John Ramsey wouldn't want that, you know. I'm going to turn Shannon off now. We just want the nation to know as well, we are looking after Shannon

and we will continue to do so for some time to make sure she's alright in the world. Speaking of looking after people, I have mentioned before, he has many skills, my man, Aaron. He can do things. He's built a lot of your house. Building things, the house renovation, he is an incredible provider

for us. However, in the kitchen hosting area, that's my domain. He can't do anything. He went to the supermarket the other day, didn't he? He did go to the supermarket. To get you some things. I benefited greatly from it. Oh my god, that's right. He's on a diet,

like, bless this boy and he's like, I'm gonna eat healthy, he buys this steak. And I saw it and I was like, rump steak? I don't, that, to me, that's not, and I was about to put it on the barbie, because he buys it but I'll cook it on the barbie. And I was like, that's not right I was about to put it on the barbie because he buys it but I'll cook it on the barbie and I was like

that's not right I'll hit up my boy Vaughn my barbecue boy and I said they're on a gas barbecue gas just just a little one

so far I don't know what's wrong here you can do rump steak rump's the tastiest steak but rump's a little bit of a different steak it's not I know you're more of a scotch fillet yeah we're scotch just like whatever.

So you have to give it to Vaughn. Bang it on there, hot head it. Oh, did you take it from the fridge? No, I forgot, but I will take it today. It's in the fridge. It's in the work fridge. I'm going to have a rump steak sandwich. And then I hit up Vaughn and I was like, my dude, what am I doing with this?

And he was like, we're going to do a slow reverse sear. We're going to reverse sear it. What we're going to do is we're going to put it in the oven at 80 degrees until it reaches an internal temperature. And I said, that? Yeah. I'll bring in the steak for you tomorrow. Yep.

And then Aaron was like, where's my steak? And I was like, you're getting chicken thighs, babes. Anyway, so Aaron had a couple of his old mates over, some theatre friends, and I was like, I'm a bit busy. That was pretty low key, eh, Fletch? Oh, my God. I was inside the lounge, and at one point I looked out to the deck where they were hanging out.

They were acting out things. I was like, oh, my Lord, bless them.. I was like, oh my Lord, bless them. But I was like, I'm unavailable to host. Like I've got work to do. I've got things to do. And then I shall be taking myself to bed because my friend Fletch told me to prioritize sleep. You were at the house though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, but you were hanging back. I was hanging back. Those three were hanging out. I was doing my own thing inside. I said hello. I was polite and cordial. But I was like, you know what? It's actually cordial. It is. I was doing my own thing inside. I said hello. I was polite and cordial. But I was like,

you know what? It's actually cordial. It is. Lemon cordial. I was being very lemon cordial. I was being lemon lime cordial. Sorry. I was being lemon lime cordial.

And so they turned up and I said hello, you know, did the tour of the house. They hadn't been to the house. Da da da da da. No, actually,

the first thing was, Aaron just stands there and I was like, give them a tour of the house. Like, they're here to see the house. They're doing the tour of the house. Da da da da da da no actually the first thing was Aaron just stands there and I was like give them a tour of the house like they're here to see the house they're doing a tour of the house da da da da then he starts talking too much

about the house these are two like sort of women my age I was like they don't give a shit you know shut up so I sort of

cut him off with that yeah do you guys want a drink okay so I kick started him so we made them a drink and off they went to have some catch ups and I'm inside

two hours passes. It's getting dark. It's after 8 o'clock. And I was like, Aaron, you've got to feed these women. I was like, stand back. You're not doing this. Earlier in the day I had said, are you going to take them to the pub or are you going to cook something?

He said, oh, no, I've been to the super. And I was like, oh, great. What are you going to do? He said, I've just got some sausages. I said, yeah. And what? to, what are you going to do? He said, I've just got some sausages. I said, yeah. And what? No, we'll just do sausages. What, like no salad?

Salad? This is what he said. I said, did you grab a bag of coleslaw? What, you just tip it in a bowl? Yeah. No, no, we don't need salad or anything like that. I said, so what are you going to provide the sausages? He said, on a plate.

I would say the arts, the industry of the arts would be more highly represented in your alternative eaters as well, like your vegetarians. One of them definitely used to be a vegetarian, but I know that they weren't. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I know, but I was like, wouldn't have checked. So you're trying not to get involved. Trying not to get involved, but all I know is that he's invited two women round to our house.

Yeah. It's two and a half hours have passed of just talking and making performances on the deck, and there's 12 sausages in the fridge that aren't cooked yet. Okay, and it's what, 8.30? 8.30 at this point. I'm like, it's my bedtime. Is there garlic bread?

Dude, there's no bread. There's no salad. There's nothing. The sausage is just going to be on a plate in the middle of the table and one would stab on a fork with a look for a sauce condiment. But I'm sitting back. It's time to let this baby boy fly. So I was like, no, no, no.

I'm like not getting involved. He's hosting. He can provide the evening he desires. But I was like, I can't do it. The sun's going down. These women are there. They're fragile. They need protein.

So I went out and I said, Aaron, maybe it's time to, do you want to cook some food? And he said, oh yeah, do you guys want some sausages? They were like, oh yeah, if it's not too much hassle. Then he's in the kitchen. It was just, I was trying so hard to be hands off. I found some corn in the fridge. And I said, do some corn. So Aaron invited two old friends to come around.

Made them sit for two hours while they did small performances for each other and then provided them a small meal of sausages and corn. And then that was it. That was the whole evening. That was his hosting sort of debut that I just completely, well, mostly. What time did it end? Like you were in bed, but he was going to end it.

I took myself off to bed. I went in the front room so that I could just sleep without them feeling like they needed to be quiet around me. It was like 11 o'clock or something. I did wake up this morning to find three plates, no remaining sausages, so the three of them polished off 12 sausages, which I

imagine Aaron was mostly responsible. And I saw two empty mugs with tea bags. So that's good. At the end of the night he provided the girls with a cup of tea. Yeah. It was amazing to watch. And I know I'm being critical, but I'm proud of him for hosting an evening basically on his own with very little prompts from me.

I like to think that if I hadn't have come out at 8.30 and said maybe it's time to turn on the barbecue, that they'd still be out there doing their little performances and no one would have had a single sausage at this point. Anyway, good for him. He's trying. What were the performances? Charades? that they'd still be out there doing their little performances and no one would have had a single sausage at this point. Anyway. Good for him. He's trying. What were the performances? Charades? I have no clue.

There were accents. It was so full on. Appropriate accents? Or in the privacy of one's home, are you allowed to do? It was French. Okay. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I've said before I get on very well with my mother-in-law. I'm very fortunate to get on well with my mother-in-law. Some people don't, do they? They don't. That'd be horrible. I love my mother-in-law. What's that? I love my mother-in-law.

You don't know, but some people marry into a family and then don't marry into a family. Oh, yeah, totally. That's got to be weird. We get kind of married in the whole family, if they're a close family. If they're not. Anyway, we get. It's got to be weird. We get kind of married and the whole family, if they're a close family. If they're not. Anyway, we get on well because we quite like trying things.

Yep. Hobbies and such. She bought a stand-up paddleboard once. How many times did she use it? Not very many. I think it's gone now.

I think anybody that buys one of those ends up just in this utter loop of boredom. God, yeah. You know, you're just like hoping for a flat sea. And hoping for an orca whale to pop up.

Yeah. So they can finally get some GoPro footage. Jesus, I'd shit my pants if I was on a stand-up paddle board and I saw an orca, even though apparently in the wild, they've only ever killed one person and it was a complete mistake. Yeah, because they thought they were a seal.

It's when they're in the SeaWorld tank that they get a little angsty. Yeah. And I completely agree. Sometimes I get a little cabin fever-y too if I get locked up for too long. Oh God, me too. But yet still went to SeaWorld at San Diego. I did it! Crazy.

My family did. And my mum said that already there, you not going is not going to change anything. And I said, I think you're missing the point, Christine. And then she said, where are you going instead? And I said, the zoo. And she went, anything's that's better. Wow.

And to the whole family, anything's that's better. They're happy to be there? Yeah. And I'm like, she's kind of got me there. Yeah, a little bit. She's kind of got me there. But my mother-in-law, just before Christmas, she said, I've got something I know you're going to want to try.

I've just learned about. It's near my place. I'm going to get you some for Christmas. And then she said they were sold out just before Christmas and she said to me yesterday, when I was at work, come and meet me. I've got your Christmas present for you finally and I was like but excited I don't know what are we going on here love a little Christmas present yeah and I went and met her and I picked her up and it's a mushroom growing kit oh my god I've seen these dude I'm I'm I was like wow and she's like I know exciting right and it's a weird thing

because if you said to Sade um I got you a, that's my wife, Sade, and it's her mother that I'm referring to, and you listen to the show or people who forgot. And sometimes myself I need reminding. That if you said to Sade, your mother got you a mushroom kit, she'd say, why did she do that? I've got absolutely no interest in going anywhere where mushrooms can grow. Yeah.

And so that's why I get on with my mother-in-law. Yeah. And if even she said to her own son, I got you a mushroom kit, he'd probably say something like, now what am I going to do with a mushroom kit? Yeah, whereas you, you're like, yeah. Where I'm like, hell yeah, let's give it a go. I love trying things.

It's my white arrogance to believe I'm already good at something I've never done before. Like hungies. We don't talk about that. Oh, we don't talk about that. And it's just hungie. No S in the Maori language. Thank you. Wow. Wow. You're cancelled. Oh, we don't talk about that. And it's just hungi. No S in the Maori language. Thank you.

Wow. You're cancelled. Apology from you. To Hayley. On behalf of all Maori, I will absorb this. I'm sorry. Thank you. For everything.

You can say sorry. There are S's in the English language. I know. Many sorry's to all. Many sorry's. So I've got mushroom kits now. I have pink oyster mushrooms, which made me laugh when I opened it up because I've never

heard of pink oyster mushrooms. So you just leave these like bales. Two different ways of doing two different mushrooms. Right. So I've already got the pink mushroom started. How it comes, it came in a box in a plastic bag with all this like mulch and mycelium. And they just grow out and you cut

there's an X on the front of the bag. You've got to put it somewhere not in direct sunlight. That's got a draft, but not like, it can't be near a heater or an air conditioner. A draft. Yes, the African animal, which I also had to purchase, which now it's made of the mushrooms quite extensive. And that's why you went to the zoo. A draft.

A draft. A draft. A draft. A draft. A draft. A draft. D-R-A-F-T. A draft. A draft. A draft. A draft. A draft. D-R-A-F-T. A draft.

You say it with a G. Draft. Draft. Too much on the D. Yeah. Too much on the D. Stop going heavy on the D. I can't.

I can't. I never thought I'd say this. Way too much D. Way too much D for you. Draft. Draft. Put like a G in there. So the mushrooms just kind of grow out of the hole. So they grow out of the hole that I cut. Yeah, right. That's a G in there. So the mushrooms just kind of grow out of the hole.

So they grow out of the hole that I cut. Yeah, right. That's the pink oyster mushrooms. Yep. So they're in the pantry, which I must say, wife not stoked about. No, I don't know if I'd be stoked about it. I don't want to put them in the garage. The garage gets too hot for them.

I've seen these kits and they do. I don't know why I love eating mushrooms that are purchased for me and lovely, like, you know, I can buy them wrapped up. Yeah. But growing them, there is something a little, like, funky about it. Yeah, a little bit of funky. Also, red flag, these are from Raglan. Oh, yeah, what are they? If they come out really long and pointy with a long fang, yeah.

Lucy in the sky. I tell you what, it'll make that omelette a whole lot more enjoyable. Oh, my God. Yeah, you're like, come over for brunch. I think if you're going to start supplying mushrooms, you've got to be testing them first. I'm not just being the first customer. If it's shiitake mushrooms, because that's the other one, the shiitake,

which I had to put in the fridge in the garage overnight, and today I get to take home and give it a smack. Well, like it's been naughty. Naughty mushroom. And then smack grows the mushrooms. Then cut the plastic off and put it in a big plastic container and loosely put the lid on. Again, in an area

that's not a direct sun, but somewhere with a giraffe. I'm telling you now this is... He's done it again. Yeah. Draft. Draft. Draft. And you can't say propeller either. Propeller. Propeller. You were saying propeller. Well, I'm not anti-peller. Yeah, you're propeller.

I'm propeller. This is true. So, yeah, mushrooms, hopefully this time next week we're all going to be enjoying mushrooms. This is like making kombucha at home. It's so much effort. It's easy to buy. I didn't do it at home. It's so easy.

I was so surprised at how easy it is to grow mushrooms. Right. It's just mould. I'm imagining if you were doing it from scratch, not buying the kit, it would be more work. Yeah. Okay, well. Vaughan the mushroom man.

Yeah. Vaughan Vaughan the mushroom man. I'm looking forward to omelettes. Mushroom omelettes. Yeah. Can we have some eggs from your farm for the omelettes? I could almost do a whole omelette. Can you grow some cheese?

Because I've got stuff growing in the vegetable garden. I've got that goat I could start milking properly. I don't want goat cheese in my omelette. No, I just want Edam. Are you going to be fitter? I just want T tasty or Edam. Can you whip me up a block of Edam, hon? No, I cannot.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. It's time for... Wait a minute, stop. Someone said if you've got two mushroom kits going at once, you're going to be inundated with mushrooms. Too much. No, there's no such thing as too much. You said you eat mushrooms every day.

Yeah. I can't because it's terrible for... It was good, eh? Funniest guy on the show. Man! Funniest guy on the show. Yeah. I've actually got a comedy...

I'm hosting the comedy gala this year. Tell us about... No, you can't announce that yet. Yeah, you can't announce that you're hosting that. Oh, is it top secret? Yeah, it's top secret.

But stay tuned for his comedy fest season. Okay, great. What's the name of the show? Come on, it's Top Secret, but stay tuned for his comedy fest season. Okay, great. What's the name of the show? Come on, let's give it a little tease. Fungi. Fungi. There's no mushroom left for this fungi.

Yeah, beautiful. That's the name of the comedy show. Written by Vaughan Smith. I mean, come on. I'm happy for it. I'm just happy to be a silent writing partner. Okay, great. Yeah, totally, totally.

My poster for my comedy show is My face is a mushroom. You're not doing much. It's everyone else is doing all the writing for you. I'll just make jokes about being a lesbian. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Oh, man. It'll be great stuff.

Right now, though, time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Pick any religion from any time And by religion I mean Now things kind of written off as mythology That at the time of this Culture's strengths would have been considered Their main religion, which one would you take? None of them.

Because for me, it's got to be Nordic religion. It's got to be the Viking religion of... Oh, because they had cool costumes. They just had everything about it. Which religion would I choose? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian. I'd go Baha'i.

Oh, yeah. That's a current... Yeah, it's current. I'd probably do Pastafarian. Absolutely's a current. Yeah, it's current. I'd probably do Pastafarian. Absolutely welcome to it. Because I love a colander on my head. You do. And a driver's license. And on a driver's license. And when he's not wearing a cap, it's a colander.

Yeah. You know? Yeah. That's how he gets his tan. That's when he wears the colander. For a guy that always wears a hat, how do you have a tan? No, you've always got to be moving it. Every 15 minutes he moves the colander. Well, one of the many reasons I would pick the Viking religion of the area, like the Nordic Scandinavian religion,

would be it's goats' involvement. Okay. And goats are about back to the thing. It's back to that week. It's goat week. And in the Viking mythology, Herduin awaits us all

in heaven, in Valhalla. And Herduin is a goat. It is a nanny goat, the giver of life. And when you get to your afterlife as a Viking, you walk up to Herduin, you put your mug underneath, and from its udder you draw never-ending boos.

From a goat? Yeah. A boo's goat? A boo's goat, yeah. She produces mead from her udders for the people who died. Sounds like that goat's

a bit off. A bit curdled? Might be going a bit mastitis-y situation. Might be going a bit manky. Does feel that way. A hazy pale ale? Straight out the teat. Oh, now you. A hazy pale ale? Straight out the teeth.

Oh, now you're just ruining some pale ales for us. Yeah. Well, no, I'm not saying it's... It's mead that comes out of it. And it's your reward for dying on the field of battle and giving your all for the advancement of your people. The goat awaits you in the afterlife to feed you mead as much as you can ever have or ever want.

If I'm hanging out for an animal in the afterlife, it's not going to be a goat. Neither. Okay, what animal's waiting for you in the afterlife? Koala? Cuddles. Yeah. Would the koala be bigger than you or same size as a koala is now?

What about a red panda? Dude, red panda. Yeah, red panda. Rascals. Yeah, rascals. Rascals. Koal just a cat yeah cat just a beautiful friendly cat yeah just another human size yeah human-sized cat what like a tiger or a lion massive domestic cat standing on two legs sort of an uh no no no humanoid no no not a humanoid cat. No, that would freak me out. Just a giant cat waiting for you in the afterlife. Fluffy as.

Yeah, and real friendly. And real friendly, no scratches. Yeah, boring. What would yours be? He's going cat. He's going human-sized cat. I'd get a declawed. Declored, declawed humanised cat.

Where are you going? So many options. Tasmanian Devil. Okay. Tasmanian Devil would be one. They're actually gross in real life. No, they're pretty cool. I saw one at the Auckland Zoo.

Honey Badger. Honey Badger, because me and him would just get up to hijinks. And a little bit bigger so I could ride him. And he'd be keen. And he could talk. English. Would you need a saddle for a giant Honey Badger? I'm wearing...

Yeah, thought so. Probably. But it's heaven, so I get to make my own rules. No saddles. No helmets. Okay. Soft ground everywhere. Soft to fall on, hard to walk on.

Because, you know, if it was soft like sand all the time, you'd get sore legs from walking. Yeah. It's my heavens, my rules. Okay. That's true. It could be whatever you want it to be. Honey badgers, not for all.

No. Everybody else gets some other. You can have a skunk, but you can't have the honey badger. Okay. You can have an animal of the like, but no honey badgers. You've put too much thought into this, I think. Yeah. It's my afterlife.

My brain. It's my eternity. Yeah, my eternity, bitch. It's my brain's final fading function as it stops working and I fade into nothing. Hopefully in another, you know, 40 to 50 years, but who knows, maybe 30. We just never know, do we? Maybe 30. Maybe, maybe even less.

So today's fact of the day is in Viking mythology, when you die on the field of battle and make your way to Valhalla, there is a goat there called Herduin that will feed you as much meat as you could possibly want, but you've got to milk it out of the udder. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Amazing. So Henry Samuel is his name.

That is the son of a... Seale and Heidi Klum. Heidi Klum and a Seale. Yeah. And he... Two very famous parents. Very famous parents. of a Heidi Klum and a seal. Two very famous parents. Very famous parents. Of the, like, 90s, 2000s. Hell yeah, but also they kept very relevant because they renewed their marriage vows every single year

and they had a huge Halloween party every single year. And then they got divorced. Yeah, her Halloween parties are legendary. Legendary. But then they got divorced. Everyone was like, but you've been renewing your vows this whole time. What happened?

Hey, what happened? But anyway, so their son, Heidi Klim's son, has taken to the catwalk for the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week and walked the runway. Look at him. Beautiful boy. 19 years old. Stunning.

Stunning human. Stunning human. Like structure. Yeah, I mean, good genes. Good genes indeed. But I was like, welcome to the human. Like structure. Yeah, I mean, good genes. Good genes indeed. But I was like, welcome to the Nepo Baby Club. Yeah. You know?

And I've got a bit of, for me, I don't have a huge, like, problem with Nepo Babies if they're good at the job. Who talked about they'd been accused of being a Nepo Baby and they said, yeah, sure, the foot in the door, but if your heart isn't in it, you're not going to be able to sustain it. So you can't call someone a nepo baby once they've carved their own career and spent years But the foot in the door

is huge when you're an American. How many people have you seen get a foot in the door and absolutely fluff it? Totally. This industry, we've been around a little while. What have we worked together? Five years now? We're too young. Well, you know my dad, the great broadcaster from ZB back in the day, Craig Sproul, he had great hot takes.

And that's how you just managed to land in the industry. That's why I'm an Epo baby. You're an Epo baby. They were like, you're Craig Sproul's girl. Oh, my God, we've got to get you on air. Get her in doing whatever. But people don't, if their heart's not in it, they're not going to last. No, no, no.

And also, like, with Heidi Klum's son, like, to be a model, what are you going to be? Attractive and tall. Yeah, and unfortunately, with Heidi Klum's son, like, to be a model, what are you going to be? Attractive and tall. Yeah, that's not. And unfortunately, that is a genetic situation a lot of the time. That's not an industry you can just, you know, slide into as a Nepo baby. If you're a minger and you're like, but Heidi Klum's me mum,

like, no one cares. Yeah. Also in the news, speaking of Nepo babies, earlier this week, Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada. On his way out. On his way out. He has resigned. Did he resign or did he not like the... I think it's a bit of everything. I think he's on the... yeah, pushed out. He's got a son

who has announced his rap career. Okay. You know, just a white, skinny... Oh, we love that. Want to hear some? Eminem's one of the best in the biz. Yeah. Let's pull back on those comparisons. Oh, with this guy. Why is that not?

That was you. Oh, my God. You gave me the look like it was me, but it was you. Hey, by the way, that awkward silence. Listener, you can't see what's happening. That awkward silence was all Fletcher's fault. Wow, sounds so fresh and original like nothing I've ever heard before. Anyway.

Xavier Trudeau. Oh, my God, that's so crazy. What a fresh new take on rap. I don't think people would be caring as much if he wasn't Justin Trudeau's son, and AKA Nepo Baby. I think they would get lost in the marks. Yeah.

Anyway, I want to know, because I think often we think of Nepo Babies as being celebrities, right? Yeah. But you get a foot in the door through many industries. I want to know, are you a Nepo baby? Maybe the way you got into your career is... Mum or dad helped you out with a job?

Mum or dad helped you out, maybe... But then, yeah, like you say, like... We want to hear from the mad butcher's son who runs his own little boutique butchery in a small town in New Zealand, you know, with a foot in the door from old... Yeah, from old dad! Yeah!

But that's weird because you don't look at that as Nepo baby. No, but it's exactly the, baby. You just look at that as carrying on the family. Yeah. Yeah. The family tradition. I'm calling it nepotism. There would definitely be people

that, where mum or dad got them a job at, you know, through their contacts or at their work. 100%.

100%. If I said to my dad, dad, my dream in life is to open a finance company. He would have been like. You're telling me he's not opening that door

and connecting me with all of his finance industry friends? Yeah. Of course he would. Yeah. I'd love to pass this on to... Your baby pioneer finance.

I'd love to pass this on to my daughters, but it'll be dead by the time they're ready to work. Oh, let's be honest. Yeah. Come on. Okay, 0800-DARLS-IT-M,

9696. Maybe you can dob in those Nepo babies that you've worked with. That you know, yeah. And maybe they ended up in your kind of work or career. Maybe your boss's son took, you know, like the high-paying position that you should have got.

I used to work with the owner's son. They made him a foreman, then gave him a cushy job in the office on a computer, but still on a foreman's wage,

very common one in New Zealand. I know some people that this has happened to. They'll work on a farm because the farmer's kids had no interest in being farmers. Oh, yeah. And so someone will come in and be a contract milker, be working and everything, and then slowly be making a deal that they'll be a 50-50 share milker. That means the farmer owns the land, but they perhaps buy the herd.

And so you split the risk, but you also split the profit. Right. In the middle of nowhere. And they're so boring. Yeah. Imagine being a farmer now as well, though, and trying to buy the land. Like, lots of successful farmers bought their land before land was a hot property. And then, you know, this farmer's kids will come back and be like,

Daddy, I did want to be a farmer after all, you see. And I like the idea that there's a worker here to do all the hard work. Maybe I'll just be a landowner like you are, Daddy. And Daddy's like, of course you will be. And then they'll get the kid in on the deal and then cut out the person who's been working for them and giving them all to the family for 10 years.
