The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshborn and Hayley Big Pod. Thanks to McCafe. Great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Is this working? Are we coming through? Is this working? Hello. I can hear the boys. Hello.

Good morning. We're live from Wanaka. We live here now, Hayley. We did not tell you this was all a giant ruse. We've moved here to open our dream B&B. Not an Airbnb, a B&B. A B&B. Why wasn't I invited?

You're a bit much. Oh, am I? No, we thought the quiet rural New Zealand life wouldn't be enough for you. Yeah, you're right. You're such a social butterfly. You need a thriving city. I really do need a thriving city. You do. Mind you, Yeah, you're right. You're such a social butterfly. You need a thriving city. I really do need a thriving city.

You do. Mind you, I tell you what, Wanaka feels like a thriving city. It's so beautiful. It's got a Mitre 10 Mega, which is great. It does. Because it means we can continue to do our sponsored content from down here, Hayley. There's lots of the industrial area just out of town. That's popped up out of nowhere. It's growing. It just out of town. You know, that's popped up out of nowhere. It's growing.

It's a growing town. We had a beautiful drive over from Queenstown yesterday. Oh, did you? And our people mover. And our Volkswagen. Yeah, drove past Nadia's farm, didn't we? Yes, we did. Waved.

Did you stop and say hello to Nadia? No. No one would let me. They said, Vaughan, you just can't turn up at New Zealand Celebrity Chef and legendary business entrepreneur Nadia Lim's farm uninvited. Yeah. It's a fair point, I think. Yeah, I think so too.

Coming up on the show, the top six this morning. Yes, and temperature checks with CRA, suppliers of dyke and heat pumps. Call Corey on 027-608-1836. That's, you have confused, we're in the Radio Wanaka studios. That276081836. No, that's... We're in the Radio Wanaka studios. That's for Radio Wanaka. Oh, okay.

That's not something we have to do, although... Are they doing a promo, though? Because I'd quite happily have a Dyken. Well, I'll tell you at 8.50 on Monday, they do a feature

called Crime Line, and I like that idea. Yeah, they do a lot of crimes. It sounds like Crime Watch. Yeah. But on the radio. So we're taking ideas now from them. I would 100% do that.

And today in history is with Upperclutha Transport, your local stock and cartage contractors. They have it all. Call them now. Double four three seven eight number three. That's Radio Wanaka. That's not something we have to do. And yeah, so brilliant. Well, I'm just trying.

Our show. Our show. To be honest, I'm pumping up the CV. Okay. Yeah, so brilliant. Well, I'm just trying. Our show, our show. To be honest, I'm pumping up the CV. I just need to get some sizzle reel together so I can move to a region and start working on a local radio station. Yeah, I tell you what, he's fallen in love with the offices down here. He wants to live here. He looks right at home. And you've got your beanie back, babe.

I know, it's finally cold enough for a beanie. Beautiful. I love it. The top six is coming up. Bumble is adding badges to Bumble. So you can be like, yeah, sure, hon. I'm really working on my sleep.

That sort of thing. I'm putting myself first, my self-care first. Right. Other ones, other examples. I enjoy deep chats. Time offline. That's not that sexy

No No but it's all like To let people know where you're at Well I've got the top six badges That I think they need to add That you want to know about somebody Before you start dating them Alright also coming up on the show

Our Guardians of the Galaxy Mixtape mashup At around quarter past seven this morning It's your chance to win some cash Next on the show though though, Hayley, they've done something quite gross in a laboratory. Yeah, they have, actually. Laboratory?

Laboratory. Laboratory. Laboratory, yeah. In the laboratory. I think we're taking, we're giving too much to the vegans, I'm going to say it. Oh, no, is this another victory for the vegans?

It's a monster in the laboratory. It's next. ZM. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. You know how they've been making, you know how you can get like meat alternatives that are made out of like flour and chickpeas

and dust and stuff? Yeah. And then now, and then they... Well, I just have so much dust at the end of vacuuming. It's nice that I now have a use for it. A use, yeah. Because otherwise it just sits in the bin. You're so right.

It's wasteful. Yeah. Because at the moment as well, you know, we're renovating. We've got a lot of sawdust. Oh, lovely. Yeah. Lovely. Yeah, that's fibre right there.

I mean, as long as it's... What if it bulks out a meal? As long as it's untreated timber. Because you don't want the chemicals. Oh, no, we use the pink stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, tannerlised. No, that's just tasty. That's how you make fake turkey.

Yeah, tannerlised. That's extra flaky. That's bacon. That's what that means. Yeah. But now, you know, there have been developments in lab-grown meat. It's like cellular. Like it's an actual cellular thing that they can make. Right.

Using muscle cells and stem cells. What's the Venn diagram of people who choose not to eat animal products that would also be happy to eat lab-grown products? I don't imagine there's a huge crossover. I used to think this is well with the fake meat stuff, like all the faux chickens. And I was like, just don't eat it. Like just don't eat meat. Don't, like, just don't eat meat.

Don't eat fake meat and don't eat real meat. I don't know. I would have thought it was, yeah, you wouldn't want to eat something grown in a lab if you didn't want to eat. But then I guess also the way the world's going, we do need to kind of start down this road, don't we? We do.

And one of the most unsustainable food sources is fish. Like, we're just pillaging the ocean. I don't know, man. Have you seen how big that place is? I mean, we can't find that big plane. I reckon there's heaps of fish. I reckon there's so many more fish to eat. I reckon we need to go deeper and start, like,

using the ones that have, like, torches on their foreheads. Yes. An anglerfish. Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it. Well, now, you know, because they were doing the cellular sort of lab-grown beef, and now they've got fish. Grupa.

So they've grown a fish fillet in the lab. In the lab using muscle cells and stem cells. And they're saying that this could be, this is the next step in sustainable food sources. If somebody gave that to you at a restaurant and it was cooked, do you think you wouldn't notice? You wouldn't even know. Oh, you'd notice. It looks so jacked.

Like it is so, it's like, because you know how fish, it has like the lines through it and that's sort of where it flakes. They kind of tried to like recreate that and it just looks like, you know, like a five-year-old's done it out of Play-Doh. I wouldn't touch it. And then like, the fish fish is like you've got to get it right. Yeah.

We've all had black fish. How do you fake that taste and smell? I don't know. Yeah. I tell you what, they should just crumb it and no one would know. Because if you've ever accidentally taken the skin off a fish finger? They could have been lab-grown fish fingers for decades.

No, they are sawdust for sure. Yeah, yeah. Handy. Ah, handy. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. One second. The mouse is all over the show here in Wanaka. There it is.

Oh. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little poe. There it is. Oh. How do you, dear friends, buy your cheese? It's today's Silly Little Pole. Do you buy a whole block of cheese or do you buy it pre-grated? I mean, this is, it's a real first world food product now, isn't it? Cheese. Cheese.

So expensive. Cheese, eggs. And grated cheese has always been a premium. Like it is always way more expensive to buy a bag of grated. Per gram. Yeah. Because you're buying the convenience. But I would say, like, whenever we make pizzas, which is quite often,

we always do the little, like, wrap pizzas for an easy dinner. Yeah. Grating the cheese, that's the job no one wants to do. I hate grating cheese. But then you get a little grate tax, and you're just saying, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. There needs to be a big step up in cheese grating technology.

I know. I feel like we've been reliant on that four-sided grater. Yeah. Oh, I've got a five. I think mine's five. Sorry to brag. Oh, okay. Wait, what have you got?

You've got a lemon zester. I've got a, there's a lemon zester. Yeah. A mini grater. A grater. Yes. And like a little one for slices. Slicy potatoes.

Yeah, but my cheese is always too wide for that because I've got quite a thick. You've got a thick cheese. That's not for slicing cheese anyway. You wouldn't have a cheese slicer. I think that's purely a potato chip. Oh, maybe it is. Or for carrots. No, I slice my cheese with that.

I don't have a cheese slicer. You slice your cheese on the side of the grater. Absolutely. I do mine with a knife because I'm not a child. Yeah, you need that thing with the wire that gets real floppy.

Yes, the cheese slicer. Then by the end of that, the life of that, you're getting like two inch blocks of cheese. Oh yeah, because the line's gone all slack. Yeah.

There's a big drag. There's a big drag. Well, what's the fifth side of your grater? I forget what, but it's just, I think it's just different size holes.

It's real, it's quite posh though. I think I got on Briscoe's at 40% I forget what, but I think it's just different size holes. It's quite posh, though. I think I got them briskos at 40% off. See, but see, we're still manually doing it. I want a machine that I sit the block of cheese in and I crank a handle or push a button and it grates it. What do you mean you can? I've got a food processor, which is literally from like the 70s. It was my grandma's.

And where you have the blade, you put in this plate. It's like a disc like this, and it's got lots of different cuts. And you just jam cheese down. It goes and grates it. And it grates it. But I never bring it out because bringing out the whole bloody food processor is, you know. What's it like to clean? A nightmare.

Nightmare. Nightmare. Well, how did people vote? Well, 85% of people will buy a whole block of cheese, 15% pre-grated. Wow. Okay. I've got a pre-grated bag in the fridge. I bought it because it was on sale, and I was like, well, that'll be helpful for the

pizzazz, but it's not good for a little slice of cheese on toast. It's real good for snacking, and also, why does grated cheese from the bag taste better? Well, some people think it tastes worse because it's got the coating on it so it doesn't all lump and stick. What's the coating? Is it like a corn flour? Yeah, it's a corn flour of sorts. No, I'm not into it.

Hannah says, I buy mine pre-grated because grating my knuckles on a grater is one of my largest fears. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we all get down to that last bit of cheese and we think we're going to get it

and then we grate like the last knuckle on your finger or the tip of your finger. Mine will always be like a flake of fingernail with nail polish because if your nail is long when you're going to get it and then we grate like the last knuckle on your finger or the tip of your finger. Mine will always be like a flake of fingernail with nail polish because like if your nails are long

and you're holding it and just this little chip will come in you'll be like yeah. Kanga says I bought bougie a couple of times

felt bougie a couple of times and bought grated cheese and it tastes funny. Yeah because of the cold flour. You've got to cook it. It's a melting cheese. Yeah. I'm allergic to cheese says. It's a melting cheese. Yeah.

I'm allergic to cheese, says another person that responded. Chocs. And the vegan cheese is nicer pre-grated. Oh, vegan cheese. I'm sorry. You have to go through this, Chocs. Let's hope for some anti-allergens.

Yeah. Some medicines. So you can enjoy cheese like the rest of us. Although I've got a friend that's lactose intolerant and like, will just take one of those lactose pills and then just be like,

oh, well, I hope I don't shit myself too bad. Yeah, yeah. And you've got to weigh it up. Like, how good is this cheese going to be versus a little bit of a shart situation.

He weighs it up. He's like, you know, I'm out with my friends. I'm having a good night. I really want pizza. I'm just going to roll the dice. Yeah, we'll see what happens.

Take the pill. Debbie says, you've got to buy both. Oh my gosh, Debbie. Debbie. I'm having a good night. I really want pizza. I'm just going to roll the dice. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Take the pill. Debbie says you've got to buy both. Oh, my gosh. Debbie. Debbie. Did she win the lotto? Yeah, she's a CEO of a major company or something. I think so.

Blocks for toasties and just slicing to eat and grated for pasta bakes and cauliflower cheese. Oh, yum. Laura says grated cheese doesn't go hard or moldy as fast and I don't have to pull the grater out. Because it comes in a resealable bag. Laura says, grated cheese doesn't go hard or moldy as fast, and I don't have to pull the grater out. Because it comes in a resealable bag. Yeah.

Cheese needs to come in a resealable container. Once you open that block from its vacuum type, it does. You can get a crusty, but it still melts the same, that crusty cheese. Don't throw that out. And if it's mold, just cut the mold off. Yeah. Because cheese is mold. Cheese is mold. Yeah.

And mold is cheese. Mold is cheese. Deep, Yeah. Because cheese is mould. Cheese is mould. Yeah. And mould is cheese. Mould is cheese. Deep guys. And Shrek is life. Blocks always go mouldy before I can finish them. I know it's more expensive to buy pre-grated, but we actually finished them rather than throwing half the block away. Marie's throwing the block away?

No, Marie. Marie. Get away. Hundreds of dollars. Get a little plastic bag and seal that big block back up. Pre-grated cheese is for millionaires, says Chelsea. Yeah. Or CEOs, exactly. And Josh says, whole block pre-graded always tastes stale or artificial somehow.

I think, again, that'll be the corn flour. Yeah. To stop the clumping. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Vaughn and I are broadcasting from the Wanaka Studios this morning with Hayley's in the big HQ. Yeah, you just needed a break. You just needed a little day away from me, and I get it.

We've got a wedding that you weren't invited to. Yeah. Yeah, currently 9.6 degrees here. Oh, nice. Yeah, nice. I got in the car this morning sweating. Yeah, it's still humid in the North Island. Now, this warning, this scam, no reports yet in the news

that this has happened in New Zealand, but the fibby FBI have warned that this is... The female body inspectors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see them. Let's see them. People are not still wearing those T-shirts, are they? 100% they are.

Are you kidding me? Of course they are. No, they're not. They bought the T-shirt in 2004 and it's still got some life left in it. What would you do if your dad turned up in one of those T-shirts? Oh, Christine would not let Ian wear that T-shirt. Emancipation. Christine would be Ian.

Right. For God's sake, take that off. Well, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, not the T-shirts, have warned this scam is increasing, and it's happening when people are going to restaurants, and they're scanning the QR codes for the menus. Oh, yeah. Or to pay. So what scammers are doing is replacing the QR codes. So they might even print the restaurant's logo or copy whatever they put on the table,

whether it's a sticker on the table or the thing they put in the little plastic menu holder. They're putting their own QR code, and then you go to their website, and you part with your information. Oh, no. Oh, no, that's not good. That's, yes. Because you know those, like, because a lot of places, food places nowadays have that, like, service thing, you know,

where you scan and you see the menu you order, and you put your credit card details in it in order to pay. We've used that before. Yeah. So if you did that, and then, like then made some big elaborate kind of fake menu thing and then you put... But yeah, I don't... It doesn't say if they're making like elaborate fake menus.

The worst part of that would be you can scam me, but I've ordered food that's not coming. Yeah. So you'll be hungry and you'll have no money. There's the true crime identified. Right there. You can have my credit card details as long as I get food in exchange. This is an unspoken agreement as old as time itself.

Exactly. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Ailey. Play ZM. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Can we just have a sense of professionalism? What happened? Did you miss the button? No, so yeah, I have a laptop that's dialed into the studio so I can control,

but there's like, in the studio I have two screens, and so two screens are put onto one tiny laptop. Oh, yeah. And so if I move the mouse a centimetre, it goes to screen two. Right. And then I'm like, where's the mouse? And it's gone to screen, you've got to get back on screen one. Yeah, but hey, we got there.

We're here, we're here, we're here. It would have been so much easier to just take the day off, but we're here. We are professionals. We cannot do that to the listeners. We can't do that to our loyal listeners. We wouldn't. Also, we don't have any leave. We're burnt through all of our leave days.

We're burnt through all of our leave days. We're burnt through all of our leave days. Look, four weeks over summer seemed like a good idea. It burns through all of your leave days. It does. Alright, well we're talking in today's Top 6. Bumble has launched some self-care badges and some mental health badges for

May as May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It's also another month. It's also another month. It's Make Myself Feel Nice Month. Oh, yeah. Masturbation Month. And also New Zealand

Music Month. And Masturbation May. So what you need to do is you need to put on some New Zealand music and in order to give yourself a little bit of a dopamine hit, you then need to have a little bit of a Maze to Maze. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. Beautiful month, mate. That'll be doing it. Beautiful. Great. And duck shooting tomorrow. Oh, well, I thought it couldn't get better. Well, adjusted.

Yeah. Adjusted. So this is Bumble the dating app. Yes. Not Bumble the Jason Gunn voiced big bee creature that entertained children for years. Hello to you. Yeah, not that one. So you can get badges that say, like, nutrition, sleeping well, time offline, and an array of different badges.

Okay. Just to let people know if you're currently in therapy. Oh, yeah. Which has definitely lost the stigma of, you know, ever being in therapy. Yeah. Ever had. Well, I've got the top six other badges Bumble needs to add to their profile for my mental health. Okay.

I want to know about people. Okay. Before I date them, says a man who's not at all ever going on Bumble. Number six on the list, I like coriander. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I need to know that early. Yeah. I need to know that early.

Vaughan, do you think if you were to enter the dating world again, that would be a deal breaker for you? I think I could find, in George Costanza from Seinfeld, ways of breaking up with people because of finding tiny little irritating things I didn't like about them, and that would definitely be on the list. Yes. Although you're saying you'd turn down a 10 because she hated coriander. Eventually.

I'm talking an ethnically ambiguous 10. How dare... Only white people don't like coriander. Actually, you're right. You're right. Yes. So you're safe there. I've never met anyone from Southeast Asia who was like, oh, yeah, I hate coriander.

Or South America. South Americans don't hate it. Oh, sea puppy. Sea puppy. Sexual Latinos. You're not going to meet an Italian or a Greek or a lovely Mediterranean mystery woman who's going to be like, oh, no, thank you. It's normally a garth from Christchurch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're whitey. Number five on the list of the top six other badges Bumble needs to add to their profile for my mental health. Yeah. I need to know what side of the bed you sleep on. So there needs to be a badge that's like, I'm a right side sleeper.

Mine would be, I'm a left sleeper. I'm a left side sleeper. And I'm right side. Looking at the bed, eh? Yes. Standing at the foot of the bed, looking at the bed. It's good to know these things early. Number four on the list of the top six other badges Bumble needs on their profile for my mental health.

I clean my own hair out of the shower plug hole. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? Yeah. Imagine that. As a female, Hayley, how often do you clean your hair out of the shower? Well, I don't because I have the least amount of hair in our household. I was going to say, Aaron's got long, curly hair. His would really create a little bit of a slow drain in the shower.

Yeah, that's an Aaron job, not a Hayley job. Yeah, I can see that's fair. Number three on the list of the top six other badges Bumble needs to add to their profile for my mental health. A badge that says, I'm a person that never smoked, but I took up vaping. Oh, yeah. I always find that so strange. People that started vaping who didn't

smoke. Yeah. What are you doing? This is also not good for you, but it's the, as we know at the moment, God, that could change any day. Yeah. This is the healthier alternative than smoking. Yeah. But some people were just like, I'm going to suck on a USB stick.

Why not? Number two on the list of the top six other badges Bumble needs to add to their profile for my mental health. I need you to have a badge on that says, I let my dog lick my face. Because I'm not okay with that. Oh, yeah. I'm not okay with that. That's not good, eh? Yeah, you're like friends with someone for a while, and then you go to their house,

and their dog's there, and you're like, they let their dog on the couch. When they go, like, kisses, kisses. Yeah, and the dog's like, and then the dog's like licking its own bum hole, and like eating its own poo, and like eating the cat's vomit,

and like licking the toilet bowl, because it's like cold, and they think it's wet, and then they come out like, kisses, lalalala. My cat licks my hand. Is that, is that, it's wet and then they come out like, kisses. My cat licks my hand. Is that not weird? Yeah, I like that.

Is that okay? That's homage. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six other badgers our bumble needs to add to their profile for my mental health, I chew with my mouth open. Yes. I need to know before I even see a person if they're a mouth open chewer.

Yeah, that's fair. And then just absolutely give them the widest berth possible. That is today's top six. Well, we have already expressed our dismay that the company didn't send Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley to the King's Coronation, which is happening tomorrow night, our time. Yeah, that's only because you demanded to fly business class, and you said you wouldn't do economy. As I should, I'm a tall woman

who demands a bit of respect. Well, I actually was just going to borrow a private jet, but the company would not pay for that. Would not, yeah. So here we are, stuck in New Zealand. But luckily, Jenny Mortimer, who is the Lifestyle Entertainment Editor at NZ Herald, is on the phone with us. Good morning, good evening, Jenny Mortimer, who is the Lifestyle Entertainment Editor at NZ Herald, is on the phone with us.

Good morning, good evening, Jenny? Yeah, it's good evening over here, but it feels like this bizarre time. I'm not quite sure where I am or what the time is, but yep, yep, we'll figure it out as we go. You're coming to us from the past. Yes, I am. 12 hours in the past. I'm in the past. Yeah.

You'll have to tell me what happened. So you've been sent to cover the King's Coronation and you've arrived approximately 12 hours before it starts with absolutely no adjustment to the time zone. So that's going to be fun. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm excited and I see they haven't put me up in the same hotel

as Hosking either. Don't get us started. The Hosking Brigade. He takes himself. He takes his wife. I'm assuming a child's there. Otherwise, it's an unsupervised

Hosking child roaming wild in Auckland. We won't stand for this, Jenny. I will be heading straight upstairs after this. I'll be heading straight upstairs to fight for you.

We'll have you in the Marriott. We'll have you in the Marriott on hide by sundown. So, Jenny, obviously, like the coronation, this is a big deal. We haven't had a coronation for 70 years.

I know, and it is pretty exciting. Like being in London right now, it was very cool. Like when we arrived, well, when I arrived, I landed at the airport driving along, seeing all the bunting up, all the primary schools with their signs out, King Charles. It's very sweet and London has well and truly put it on. I mean, so they should, 70 years.

That's pretty amazing for such a historic event. Well, at least we won't have to wait that long for the next one as well. Can you imagine if we did though? Like a 100 year old child. Yeah, geez Louise. There's obviously, because I was trying to get a comprehensive guest Like a hundred-year-old child. Yeah, geez, always. Obviously, because I was trying to get a comprehensive guest list together,

because a lot of it kind of makes sense, dignitaries and whatnot and other royals, and then there's quite a few celebrities going. Do you know of any? Who are you excited to see? Look, I feel like the majority of New Zealanders, when that list of New Zealand delegates was announced, they were like, oh, Richie. Richie, that's very exciting.

And we got the glimpse of Richie McCaw. We got the glimpse of his suit fitting. So I think New Zealanders are just excited to see a little bit of, like, Kiwiana on the royal stage. Like, this is a big event. We can see a tiny piece of New Zealand there. I know. To see Richie Because Gemma, his wife posted, eh

And he was getting a suit fitting Was that Helen Stones? I don't think it was Helen Stones He should have I don't know if it was No, they do a deal, don't they? They do a great $200 suit deal, yeah Yeah, okay

Jacket, pants and a shirt They put it in Charles and Hoskins And everyone's all together That would have been a nice thing It would have been embarrassing though They did some funky Yeah, they did some funky colours too. I reckon there'd be at least a couple of suits and

that would go with Hosking's goat skin loafers. There had to be. There would be. There absolutely have to be. He can't wear them to the coronation. Please, Mike. What's the coronation going to have in it for someone like me who could not

care less about the royal family? Is there anything in it for Joe Republic over here? There might be a jet flyover. You like that? I love a jet flyover. And there's a light show. There's going to be a light show at the Coronation. So that could be pretty exciting.

And it's Katy Perry. It's not just the one day. That's what we've got to remember. We've got the next day with the Coronation concert. Yeah. Vaughan does love waking up in Vegas. Maybe I'm going to place a bag blowing in the something

or the other. For sure. Is the light show drones or fireworks or laser lights? I'm not entirely sure. The one thing I will say about the Coronation is they don't have a heck of a lot of details that they're releasing. I think because Charles is a man, it's poorly

organized. Yes! He left it to his wife and his wife's making a point. Call me useless. And Jenny, so where are you going to be for all of this? Like how close are you able to get to the king, to the events? I'm

not the Abbey that's for sure, but I will be outside. I'll be trying to find Kiwi fans who have come out there and if there are any come up to me, I'll be the person by themselves in the Herald jacket. But yes, I'm going with the fans

out there getting that glimpse and yeah, I'm very excited. I'm going to get as close to the action as I can. I was going to ask you actually, Jenny, because, you know, fashion, it's all about the fashion

for the coronation. It is all about the fashion, yeah. Are you, even though you're not going into the Abbey, are you, what are you wearing?

Who are you wearing? Look, I had this wonderful plan. I had this great little like floral number from Witchery I was going to wear and I was very excited.

But I've got here and it's freezing cold. Spring in London is very cold. So today I was wearing a waterproof Herald jacket. So I am just pure fashion at the moment. That's nice. I like that.

She's a company girl. She's a company girl. Well, very excited. Thank you so much for talking to us today, Jenny. Yeah, have a blast over there. And maybe next time we can come with you. Yeah, sounds perfect. I'll tell Charles you say hello. Yes, please do. Please do.

Our congratulations. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Chance the Rapper. He was on Late Night with Seth Meyers and talking about his kids He's got daughters Just like you Vaughn

A man surrounded by women How old is Chance to Rap His Children? It's so weird when rappers It's like you know it's weird when your friends You know have kids But it's weird when rappers have kids You know like Eminem's like

I've got a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. It doesn't really go with the whole thing you've got going on here. No. No, the idea of Snoop Dogg sleep deprived and changing nappies is humorous. It is. He had someone to roll his joints.

I doubt he had much to do with the hands-on nappy changing. I think you're right. I think you might be right there. But yeah, anyway, Chance the Rapper, he was on Late Night with Seth Meyers and talking about his daughters, Kinsley and Marley. Cute. Okay.

And Seth Meyers asked if they like his music and they were like, oh yeah, he's like, I kind of like it, but they're more into like Peppa Pig. Oh, of course. Of course they are. Like kids are.

Yeah, exactly. And then Seth Meyers was like, well, you should do a collaboration. And then Chance the Rapper was like, hell yeah, that would impress the hell out of my kids. And then he did a call out like, Pepper, if you're listening right now, I'm trying to work with you or at least get some autographs for my kids to impress them.

Now, this is a collaboration I would love to hear. What's Peppa Pig? Peppa's from the UK. Yeah. I'm Peppa Pig. This is me, Peppa Pig. This is my brother, George. She sounds like an orphan.

A little bit like an orphan, yeah. Oh, God, no. Joey, don't shake your head at me. There are no orphans until Christmas. You promised we could come back at Christmas, Mr. Flea. I promise you can come back at Christmas. I look forward to a young time greeting. But not now, orphans.

Not now. Not even on my birthday. It is amazing, though. I don't know when my birthday is. My birth certificate burned down in the house. I was born in a gutter. Okay, orphans, go home. Okay, bye.

Bye. See you guys. Bye. It is amazing that someone so famous still has to try and impress his kids, right? I know. And it's so funny, like, especially like dads on daughters. Like, I remember my dad used to always try to impress me and my brother. He would always do like comedy acts.

My dad has like, I know, my dad lost his, one of his front teeth got whacked in the face with a squash racket. Ow. Oh, ow. But he has one of those teeth that's like on the face with a squash racket. Ow. Oh, ow. But he had one of those teeth that's like on a plate that he'd wear each day. And he used to come in and be like, hey, kids. And he'd like pull it out and do like characters. All of his characters had one thing in common. They were missing a tooth.

They were missing a tooth. Producer Jared, was it your dad that used to impress, try to impress you? Yeah, my dad occasionally impressed me But my friend's dad could like roll onto his back And suck a bit of air up his bum hole and then fart out Okay, okay I did not know where that was going I worked out how to do that as a kid

What? And I immediately rushed to the lounge and I was like, Mum, Dad, watch this. And I thought, they're going to love this. My mother was horrified and she said, never do that again. And I never did. You can't because you just like pinch your stomach and you go, and then it's.

And it's because it's up. Yeah, yeah, something about it. Yeah, yeah. What a wild way to try to impress. Also, not even your own father. Some other man. Yeah, that's wild. If my kids came home and they were like,

we were around a bitch placing her dead, rolled on his back and did farts, I'd be like, I beg your pardon. I beg your pardon. Breathe in air through your bum hole. We want to take your calls now. What impressed you as a kid that your parents or your dad or your mom could do? Yeah, and you know that they were doing it to impress you.

Like, what about when parents, when you were a real little, they used to do that thing and pretend their thumb had come off? Yeah, clever. And you were just like, do that thing. Or like, a big one is like, dads will always show you how loud they can whistle. And as a kid, you used to be like, whoa, that hurt my ears.

Yeah, my grandads could whistle without the fingers in the mouth. Just, just lips. Just lips and tongue. Yeah, right. They could really whistle.

Okay, well, what impressed you as a kid? Something your parents, your grandparents could do. Yes, but right now, we're wanting to know

what impressed you as a kid that your parents did. When did they try to impress you? Because Chance the Rapper is wanting to impress his daughters by doing a collab with Peppa Pig. My dad used to do a squiggly tooth thing and Jared's friend's dad used to fart at him. I remember as a really young kid, we'd come back from the beach and dad had a hold

in Kingswood. I don't know if there were even seat belts in those, were there? Nah. Those were optional. But you know, those things were like tanks and you'd always be like, take your hands off the wheel and like, he'd do that and it would still obviously drive straight. And you'd be like, ah! That is wild!

Mum's probably listening to that now like, you did what? I was going to say, because if mum's dad's do things to impress the kids and mum's scream at dad about being stupid. Well, mum was never there because you could always get away with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, take your hands off the wheel, dad. And he probably had his, like, knees on the wheel. Yeah.

Dad's a naught, yay. What happened to that Kingswood? Written off. Written off. It's in a ditch, yeah. It's on a ditch in Sting Road. Don't do that. Both hands on the wheel. Written off. It's in a ditch. Yeah, it's on a ditch in Sting Road. Don't do that. Both hands on the wheel.

Ten and two, John. Ten and two. So we want to know what your parents did to try to impress you. We've got Tash on the phone. Tash, which parent tried to impress you? It's my father-in-law. Oh, your father-in-law. What did he do?

So he talks like Donald Duck. Right. Wait, but you're do? So he talks like Donald Duck. Right. Wait, but you're an adult and he does this, or to your kids? He does it to me. He does it to my kids. He's just done it to our latest Japanese exchange student. Oh, that's sort of been a lot for a Japanese exchange student to process. I love this.

Just to another New Zealand dad. Is it a good impression? I can do the Donald Duck noise, but it's hard to understand the words I'm saying. Is he, like, you can understand him when he's talking or it's just the noise? You can legit understand him. Wow. I'm impressed. He's pretty damn good, to be fair.

How long, Tash, were you in part of their family before he whipped this one out the bag to impress you? Actually, to be honest, I couldn't tell you. I've been married now for 22 years, so it's been around for at least 25, 26. Oh, wow. It just keeps going. I love it.

Tash, thank you so much for your call. Carly, what did your dad do to impress you? So I had a sister just two years older, and every time we used to go on road trips or any little work missions with Dad, we'd go past, like, any rural areas with lots of trees, and he'd wind his window down and then put his arm out and he'd magically have these jet planes,

loli jet planes, and he'd catch them out of the bushes. Oh, my God, that's crazy. That rules. I bet, as a father, speaking for dads, when you guys worked it out, he would have been heartbroken because that's one of those things. Mum can't do that. He was heartbroken.

That meant we weren't getting any more jet planes. Oh. So how was he just, like, grabbing a handful and then just, like? Just, like, one or two. Normally two, but it was one each, so we didn't fight over it. But it took years. And it was almost like one of those things where you didn't want to know the truth because you knew there must have been something.

The older you got, it kind of was like, hold on, how is this possible? Yeah. So you were led to believe that jet planes, the lollies, were sort of a wild creature that lived in trees, and he just snatched them out of the air. No one else was able to do it. That is so cool. That is such a cool day.

That's a good one. I know. Yeah, I know. God, I wish I'd known this earlier. I think Indy's too old for that now. Yeah. She's dumb, though. God know. Yeah, I know. God, I wish I'd known this earlier. I think Indy's too old for that now. Yeah. She's dumb, though. God, she's sick like her mother.

She's sick as a plank of water. Oh, my God. So slow. No. Thank you very much. What about you, Cassandra? Your dad also tried to impress you? Yeah, he did.

So he was a classic car trimmer by trade. And so he used to come to school, like this was like early 80s, would come to school to pick my sister like early 80s, would come to school to pick my sister and I up in like E-type Jags that had no roof. And so we would get him to park down the road and round the corner because it was so embarrassing. Why was that embarrassing?

He didn't have a roof. Oh, not now. Yeah, not now. Yeah. Wow. Now that we're older and we know, my sister and I are kicking ourselves that we used to make him park so far away from the school because we were just embarrassed. So sad. So he was doing like the trim on them,

like the interior and everything. And so he was like, I know what will impress my daughter is this awesome car. And you'd be like, park it in the corner. And he's like, I just want, I just want to. Oh, yes, mate. Boo, you're horrible. Cassandra.

Cassandra sucks. I reckon Vaughan's got about, what, a year until you have to park around the corner? The chimney does not park around the corner. It'll be beeping at the main gate. Yes, it will be, and Dad will be up on the roof rack sunbathing. You'll pull up in the chimney and they'll be like, hey, I think your older sister's here. She's just going on her way back from hairdressing course.

Cassandra, thanks for your call. Some messages in. We lived on a gravel road, and when mum wasn't in the car, dad used to drift the U around the corners. Only when mum wasn't in the car. 100%. Man, I hope mums are listening, realising they're a drag. I was just thinking that.

Isn't it amazing that dads are constantly trying to impress their kids, and mums are like, I don't have to impress you. I birth you. Yeah, and mum's the one you go to when you're upset. Yeah. And sore and crying, and dads can't one you go to when you're upset and sore and crying and dads can't do that. You don't want them to.

They can. Give us a chance. We probably can, but we've got to impress you in other ways. Someone said, my mum's party trip was to wriggle her ears

up and down without touching them. People used to love that. It's like people that can do their... Can you do your pecs individually? No, I can't.

No, no, no. I saw you doing it the other day. I thought you did it. I I can't. No, no, no. I saw you doing it the other day. I thought you did. I thought you could. No, it's biceps he does. No, it's the biceps, and I think it just drags a bit. The jiggle just hits the titties, and it looks like it's a peck thing. It's just a delayed titty jiggle.

Yeah. I apologise for saying that. Sorry. Don't apologise. They're my titties. I will not apologise for them, and neither should you. My dad tried to show us how to do jumps on a BMX track. He came off his bike, broke his collarbone and went to hospital in an ambulance.

We were kind of impressed because ambulances are pretty cool. Yeah, that's still impressive, Dad. Well, then just take your kids to St. John's for a tour. My dad impressed me by playing hide and seek 28 years ago. And I tell you what, we're still trying to find him. Oh, my God. Sad, but funny because they're laughing. That's a really good hiding place.

So we're laughing too. That's really tickled me. The news, this was confirmed yesterday in news reporting because changes in Australia have been made to the boxes. They've got favourites over there. Yes. The box of chocolates. It's been confirmed here in New Zealand that very soon Cadbury will take away two of the items in favourites and replace them.

I feel nervous. Booster. I was like you, Hayley. When I clicked the headline last night, I was like, please, dear God, that I do not believe, do not let it be Turkish Delight. Because there's the Kiwi favourites. Yeah, this is just

favourites. So you've got your picnic, your dairy milk, flake, crunchy, there's an old gold dream, cherry ripe Turkish Delight, and I think that's it. I could lose cherry ripe. Is there a boost in that as well? Yes. That's why I asked

about the Kiwi one because the Kiwi one didn't have the boost. I could lose Boost and Cherry Ripe and I'd be alright. Honestly, I couldn't lose Cherry Ripe. No, Turkish Delight is worth it. You don't need Cherry Ripe and Turkish Delight. They're two very controversial chocolates. Maybe we don't need Fletch and Vaughn.

Whoa! We're just going to throw wildletch and Vaughn. Whoa! Wow, wow, wow. We're just going to throw wild things around the room. Okay, so leaving the Cadbury Favourites box is Flake. No! And wait! Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate. Slight delay.

Tastes like chocolate never tasted before. And the dream. Which one is the dream? Oh, the dream was the white chocolate. The white chocolate. I like the dream and I love the flake. Why is the dream going? So, okay, so they are going to be replaced in by two very popular flavours,

caramilk. Oh, so that's going to replace the dream. That's replacing dream. And twirl, which is a flake. Twirl is a chocolate-covered flake. Which is less messy. Yes. But it's, I don't know, the flakes are so good.

The flakes are classic. Yeah. Oh, interesting. But that is still a flake. It is a flake. It's just a chocolate-coated flake now. Exactly. I'm okay.

It's almost like for like. It is, yeah. You get the scent, you know? But I would have replaced Old Gold with a Caramilk or a Twirl or the Boost. The young ones. But Old Gold's a dark chocolate, and it's the only dark chocolate representation in the box. Yeah, but it's a milky box. Yeah, but it's a milky box. It never promises it's a milky box.

It's a favorites. Favorites could be dark. There's no other dark representation, so I can now see why Old Gold was left in. So this news story on the Herald asked people to vote, and 16,000 votes. They said, what is your favourite in the box? And overwhelming, 19% Turkish Delight, which is also one of the most divisive.

Yes, favourite but also hated. Second at 16%, The Flake, which they're getting rid of, but again replacing it with the 12. Cherry Ripe down at 8%. Trash. So Cherry Ripe are way down the list But also, was this in Australia?

Because Australia is like No, this is on the Herald So this is New Zealand voting Old gold got 2% It's just boring And the morrow 5% Grandad's got to have something If you're opening it

When I'm a grandad, I'm going to have crunchies and Turkish delights. Yeah, but it's different because you'll be listening to Eminem and that's not what granddad's listening to now.

Is it just different? Yeah, it's just going to be different. It's just be different. Well, there you go. That's the news. Out, The Flake and Dream

and in, Caramilk and The Twirl. Okay. And that's apparently going to happen, I'm assuming, I'm assuming in time

for Christmas. Immediately. Immediately or soon. Well, we'll brace I'm assuming, in time for Christmas. Immediately. We'll brace ourselves. So brace for impact. It's 18 minutes away from 9. From 8, don't you mean? Oh, sorry, 18 minutes away from

8. That early. God, I apologise. Just because I looked at the thermometer, it's 9 degrees in Wanaka where we're broadcasting, which is a little bit nippy. 9.2 and a foggy moggy outside. Yeah, quite foggy. Yeah, sorry, 18 minutes away from 8. Momentary break because you said nippy.

Yep. Social media producer, Chanelette Pyjamas, found me a banana nippies. And I've had it. Fantastic, yeah. How was it? Was it everything you hoped and dreamed? It is the premier premium iced banana.

Maybe I'm just thinking about making the company some money. Maybe we could do like a temperature report and it's brought to you by Nippies. Oh my God. Yeah. How nippy is it today? Yeah. And we're like, oh, 9.2 degrees. How stiff are your Nippies?

How stiff are your Nippies? Brought to you by Nippies. Yeah. Yum.2 degrees. How stiff are your nippies? How stiff are your nippies? Brought to you by nippies. Yeah. Yum. All right. This is the thing. You take these old boys back to the regional radio, Hayley, and they start imparting this sort of regional radio wisdom on you.

It's definitely an energy. Broadcasting from our Radio Wanaka studios this morning. But do carry on. This guy's flourishing. Yeah, please carry on. Well, from regional New Zealand to the big smoke, you may have seen a story yesterday about the police monitoring a big funeral, a tangi of a gang member.

I think one of the founding members of one of New Zealand's gangs passed. Goodness me. And producer Jared has also been sort of like on the scene as well because he's been telling us it's kind of passed through and he's been trying to hide. Like his neighbourhood. He had a chat to a gang member, said, hey, what's happening here, pal?

Yeah, probably the scariest moment of my life. Wait, what did you, you wanted to keep the noise down? No, no. Oh, my God, I was going to say, did you want to keep it down? I believe his exact words were, remove these shit heap motorcycles, the Toyota Vitz needs a park.

I can't say that. They were very respectful. Okay, right. There were so many of them on the road that I couldn't drive through, so I had to park up in someone else's driveway. Did you beep at them? No.

Nope. God, you sound scared, you don't even want to talk about it. We just want to reiterate that our producer, Jared, is a rather short, slender king. And we have no choice but to stan. However, I don't think that he's going to be standing up to gang bosses. No.

So what did you say? Was your heartbeat throbbing in your ears? Yeah, well, because I was standing there kind of watching. And they were kind of walking past me. And I picked one that was kind of laughing and having a good time. A jolly gent. Yeah, and I said, hey, mate, sorry, what's happening?

Just out of curiosity, the smile dropped. He's like, King's Coronation. We'll be a King's Coronation party. We're celebrating. We're huge Charles fans. Royalists. And he just said, tonguey, and then walked away. And I was like,

oh, my condolences, I'm sorry. Oh, my condolences. So did you get them to move so you could move your car? no,

no, I left my car in someone else's driveway and I stood there. And walked 1.2 kilometres home. And I just stood there for like 20 minutes as they did a haka.

It was beautiful. Oh yeah, I bet. Oh wow. And Oh, yeah, I bet. Oh, wow. And then the parade, I don't know if you call it a parade, parade of motorcycles just started. It sounded like an airplane. A procession?

A funeral procession? Is that what it's called? Yeah. Oh, right. God, that sounded legit. Do you tell them to keep that down? No. No.

Did you call the police and say, I believe there's some unwarranted mufflers going past here? I don't know how they got a warrant of fitness. I revved the vits in solidarity. Yeah. You jumped on the back of the parade, didn't you? In the vits. Yeah.

And that's why Jared's in a gang now. Jared, now Jared's in a gang. Now Jared's in a gang. What does this gang make of your bright purple hair? They're glad it's not any other colours. They're confused though because the vits is bright red He wears a yellow hooded sweatshirt He's got purple hair

And he's got A blue hanky And it's very confusing Are you killer bees or are you mob? Who are you? The vits says mongrel mob And bloods I don't know who's got rights to red.

Yeah. What's your initiation? I don't know. Big match of D&D. Teach these boys some Dungeons and Dragons. I tell you what, get the gang leaders together. We'll solve this the old-fashioned way. We'll roll some dice and we'll, you know,

concentrate all of our anger on the big bad evil guy and a big game of D&D. Don't bring D&D into the games of New Zealand. Yeah. D&D brings people together. I tell you, it can solve some problems. They're not nerds. They're already together.

They're always fighting each other. So you're going to take the fights and put them into a fantasy realm. And fight a five-headed dragon. I don't see what you guys aren't understanding here. No, that makes sense. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Airbnb, which I believe is a website that you can go on and book accommodations around the world. Now, I've used Airbnb a lot, to be fair. I've used it all around the world and i have always gone for entire place yeah there's like there's like a filter right yes entire place or like you can choose what's it called when you just get a place that might be like separated but you it's you don't have the whole house but you you've got a little wing. Right. And then you can just get a room. In someone else's house.

Yeah. Like, there, there. This is what Airbnb is making a push for, is renting a single room from places. Because, obviously, like, with the cost of living and the bloody what's happening around the world, they're so expensive. So they're saying, like, if you want to stay somewhere, you'll save so much money by just getting a room in a house

or apartment that the host is still at. But at that stage, you're getting a van. Like, sleep in a van. If you're going to share a house, you might as well be in a van at a little campsite. Yeah. You're sharing a house with the people who own the house? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's a real roll of the dice, isn't it? Yeah. Like you get someone a bit creepy or weird or they want to hang out or... Yeah, or tell you about like their religion.

Yeah. Or they're like, nah. Because you've always been able to do this, right? Like you've always been able to rent a room there, but now they're doing this whole...

They're calling it Airbnb rooms where you get to know the person a bit more, like a bit more about their life and who they are. So kind of along the, like the couch surfing angle. Yeah. Because, you know, people are really into that, although that's kind of, is that free? Is that free couch surfing? Or was that, did you have to pay?

Not always, but heavily discounted. Yeah, yeah. Right. Because they were saying last year in New Zealand, in general, renting a place, like a whole house, would be $245 per person. On average.

A night. Okay, right. You know, like per couple, I guess. Yeah. Whereas $107 is what would set you back for just a room. That still feels too expensive to sleep in someone's spare room.

And use the bathroom. Like, wow, this whole family using the bathroom? Yeah, this is going to backfire on them when I take my whole family and we stay in one small room. Yeah, four of you, two girls. I do have friends that do this, and it's just a bit of extra money for them, and they don't mind it because they're either hardly there

or they're at work, you know, so they don't mind. And it might not be every day. But then if I'm not there, what's this person doing ferretting about in my house? Because I'm not going to pack away everything. Yeah, that's true. Whenever I get a visitor. Yes, if your house is set up as an Airbnb

that people can rent the whole thing, you do. You lock away your goods. You've got a cupboard and you put it away. Was this on-air or off-air yesterday when you were saying people take stuff from Airbnbs? I don't know. On-air? I think it was on-air. Yeah.

Yeah, my mother-in-law runs the Airbnb. People just take stuff. Like the weirdest stuff. Yeah, like there was a poem in an old typewriter and somebody was just like, I want that. Glass beads that were in a jar purely as decoration. And they just took it. Candles.

Like, you name it. That is wild. If it's not bolted down, they'll take it. She's pretty sure they took like a little, she went and did, she gets carried away. She gets carried. That is about the best way I can describe my mother-in-law, who I love. She's so great. You couldn't ask her to be my mother-in-law. She gets carried This is a That is about the best way I can describe my mother-in-law Who I love She's so great

You couldn't ask her To be my mother-in-law She gets carried away She went to Peru And bought back like Not a container But a part of a container Full of alpaca blankets

Of course Yes And ponchos and such I love that And they were so comfortable There is something to be said About the warmth and comfort Of an alpaca wall

Well yeah they know They know they're warm. Oh, they're beautiful. Anytime I see one, I just rub my face and it's back. But yeah, someone just took it. Someone just took an alpaca blanket. Someone just took a throw. They just took it.

That is wild. But people just take things. So whenever you go to an Airbnb and you see that locked cupboard in the hallway or that locked room and you're like, I want in there. Because I always wonder what's in there. That's why. It's the alpaca blankets. That's why. The alpaca bastards won't stop stealing. Play, that's why. It's the alpaca blankets. That's why.

The bastards won't stop stealing. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Now, I want to talk about, we're going to touch very briefly on the Met Gala. I'm kind of over it already to be honest, the Met Gala. It's done. I will say that Jared Leto won dressing as a cat. Oh, I just thought that was so fun. That would have been so hot.

That's why Pedro Pascal did so well. That would have been so hot. That's why Pedro Pascal did so well. When men don't take the opportunity to have fun at the Met Gala, I'm always like, poo on you. You're wearing a suit, poo on you. Yeah, yeah. But you might have sort of been looking and going, who's missing from the Met that we usually see there? I didn't see a Sarah Jessica Parker.

I didn't see a Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian. Khloe Swarbrick was snubbed. Yeah, again. Again. Rude. And also we didn't see Harry Styles, who has been to the Met a number of times and is an iconic fashion person.

Yeah, that's like right up his alley, right? Right up his alley. The Met Gala. Dressing up, costume, Met Gala vibes. That's him well apparently the reason he wasn't there is because he was actively avoiding both olivia wilde who was there and emily radikowski who very recently where he saw where he was eating her face he had a sloppy passion that's right yeah that's the audio we've got the audio file. So famous people are like us and they dodge your exes as well.

Yeah. Maybe you want them to see that. But people do, don't they? Because it's just easier to avoid them. Or maybe you don't go to a wedding. You've got a wedding invite, but then you knew this person was going to be there, so you didn't even turn up for your best friend's wedding or something.

It sounds like they're avoiding you. Oh, yeah. If you're not having to avoid your ex. Yeah, yeah, that's the best part about it is just try to get them to do it and then you don't have to. I've never had to either. I don't think I've ever felt that way about an ex. I don't have that many exes.

Yeah, neither. Yeah. Fletch? Well, no comment. No comment. I'm amicable with most. Yeah. So I could run into them.

I'm still friends with some of them, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, I'm friends with some of them too, yeah. Well, Reesie's not. He saw her at the car park at Charlottes Square and said, not today, Satan, and drove to the base. Oh, wow. Okay, so. So he changed his shopping habits.

Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Not my ex, but her family. I walked a far longer way home to work, so I didn't have to go past their house every day. Just go past. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, but then you look like you're passing by to look. Yeah, when you're not. You could get a bush disguise, and when you're walking to work, you carry it and then drop it. And then on the way back, you put it back on the other side. I'll go to one of those army surplus stores and have the big mesh. And get a camo net. Camo net. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's totally inconspicuous on a suburban street. Wildly. Not me. My ex moved to Canada to get away from me. Said it was too hard to see me so often. So he'd rather see a beaver, a moose, and a bear. Yes. That's pretty cute.

And squirrels. Did you say squirrels? No, I didn't say squirrels, but they do have squirrels. So cute seeing squirrels in the park. My ex moved cities to dodge me so I wouldn't have to tell everybody what he did and how it affected him. Yeah, if you were a big dirt bag

you'd have to probably try to avoid. Yeah, you've got to leave. You've got to move. So there's some Instagram responses. I've got some text messages. Nobody... We're finding people are too embarrassed to talk about this. They'll tell their story,

but they don't want to go on the radio. They don't want to chitty-chatty on the phone, on the telephone. A lot of messages, though. Move to the other island of New Zealand. Change my number. Change jobs. Avoid all social events

that our mutual friends have because he is a dickhead. Oh, the head of a dick. I was, not quite how it's said, but I once wanted to avoid an ex so bad in the club, I locked myself in the bathroom and fell asleep and woke up the next morning and the bar was locked. God knows why the staff didn't check behind the locked toilet.

Are you kidding me? At closing. I get that because you just want to go home. Mel is willing to talk to us. Mel joins us. Mel, we salute your bravery. Hi, how are you? Really good.

Tell us the story of how far did you go to avoid your ex? Well, I was actually standing there doing the dishes, and I turned around to my older child, and I said, oh, we've got new neighbours moving in next door. And so I went to the other side of the house just to be nosy, you know, have a look out the kids' bedroom window, and noticed the guy that was unloading the trailer was my ex and his new partner. How ex?

How ex? Like an ancient ex or the father of your child ex or? No, no, no. Just an ex that I'd split with about six months prior. Oh, six months is fresh, though. Wait, so he knew where you lived, though? Because had you moved in the last... No, he didn't know where I'd lived

because we'd been living together and I left and got this house by myself. He didn't know. But wait, and six months later, he's already got a new partner and he's moving in with that partner. Yeah, he had actually had her. That's the reason why I left.

Oh, I see. So did you have to leave again? Yeah, I actually rung my landlord straight away and gave three weeks notice and moved. Oh, my God, no. Oh, my God. That night. Wow.

I would have made his life a living hell. I would have just played, like, corn all night. Yeah, I would have gotten her ear that if you did it to me, he could totally do it to you. Yeah. In there, at least. Yeah. Amazing. Hey, thanks it to me, you could totally do it to you. Yeah. All that. In there, at least. Yeah. Amazing.

Hey, thanks you, Cool Mal. Some more messages. I saw an ex on a date at a restaurant. I ducked behind a table and crawled out of the restaurant, leaving my girlfriend with the bill and no clue what had happened. Crawling on the floor. That's like a scene out of a movie, like a rom-com. I saw my ex at the pub once, so I jumped the back fence

and then got escorted back into the pub by the bouncers to walk out the right way, so I had to do the walk of shame right past him with a bouncer holding me like I was a criminal. Oh, my God. That's backfired. Yes. That's horrible. I left my own business and country to avoid him.

That's terrible. Oh, wow. I moved in with my friend, so I left my hometown. He moved in with my friend, so I left my hometown. We were shopping in the warehouse once and the girl I used to go with saw me

and she recognised me and I pretended that I was my older brother because we look pretty much the same. So they hid in themselves. Yeah. I do that if I...

She would 100% not have fallen for that. She just would have thought you were having an episode. Just saying you're the twin. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You blame her for the twin.

Oh, did that guy you date for four years not tell you he had a twin? Weird. It's so weird. Because I am that twin. Yeah. His evil twin.

I mean, it works on Shortland Street, doesn't it? It does. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day, not about plurals. Good. Sorry about that, guys. Sorry about that. They said it couldn't be done. No. He didn't. He didn't. He said it couldn't be done. Couldn't be done. No. He didn't. He didn't.

He didn't do it. And he didn't. Today's Fact of the Day is the cutest little grave robbers you'll ever see. The cutest little grave robbers you'll ever see. The cutest little grave robbers you ever will see. Austria has a problem. Yeah. Wild hamster grave robbers.

Oh, wild hamsters. Little ham Wild hamster grave robbers. Oh, wild hamsters. Little hamsters. Cute little hamsters. And you might be thinking, what are they doing with the graves? Well, the traditional candles that one puts on a grave and lights in the Baltic states.

Are they like a tea light? They can be small. Okay. They're so cute. I just googled them. They are so cute. So they make them. Okay. Oh, my God. But when they... They're so cute. I just googled them. They are so cute. So they make them out of animal fats and vegetable fats. Okay.

And during the winter, the hamsters see it as an easy calorie fix. Because they live outside, so over winter, they've got to increase their calorie intake so that they don't freeze and so they can keep high body fats. And the candles are a perfect source of it. So they go and there's videos and pictures of them picking up, if they're small enough, like little tea light candles and popping the whole thing in their mouth. You know how hamsters will load up their cheeks?

Yes. Squirrels and hamsters and they're cheek loaders. Yes. So they'll put a whole candle in their mouth. Like if it's a longer candle, it'll go sideways and it'll take up their whole cheek and be very funny. I do the same with Maltesers. 22 they'll put a whole candle in their mouth. Like if it's a longer candle, it'll go sideways and it'll take up their whole cheek and be very funny. I do the same with Maltesers. 22 is the record.

Wow. Big cheeks. I've got big cheeks. 22? One, two. So how do you stack them? Sort of a third in one cheek, a third in the other and a third in the middle. Just pour them in. You have to poke the last few in. They sort of, yeah. They make room though, don't they? Yeah, I always do mine with a St. John's officer next.

I was going to say you would want to be careful. Do that near the St. John's tent at the festival. Yes, yeah, yeah. You just go to the St. John's tent, they're like, oh my God, are you okay? You're like, at the moment I'm fine, but I'm about to try to attempt to break my own record of 22 Maltesers in my mouth

and I would like your supervision. Exactly. Oh my God, they're so cute. Looking at the little candles, they're like... But I'm very glad we don't have hamsters in New Zealand because it seems just like another thing that we'd have to put a trap out for. When you said grave robbers,

I thought they were burrowing into like... Yeah. Yeah, and I was like... I know, grim. Hurting thighs and stuff. Yeah, they're not doing that. They're not doing that. They're just eating the candles.

That'd be a good calorie intake though. Fresh thigh. A thigh. Well, they're not using it anymore. But it's embalmed. It's embalmed. What are the calories on a... It's painted.

It's like eating a tantalised piece of wood. Yeah, but what are the calories on a formaldehyde thigh? I don't know. But it's not the calories you've got to worry about. My calories, yeah. My calories. It's got to do a lot of treadmill work to burn them off. Carcinogenic, I'd say.

Yeah, I would say that's you bigger. I'd say it's carcinogenic. Your far bigger issue. So today's fact of the day is in Austria, little wild hamsters eat all the funeral candles. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Vaughn and myself are broadcasting from the Radio Wanaka studios. We've got a wedding today.

Hayley and our ZM offices in Auckland. Kia ora. Kia ora. And we broadcast to the nation. But we're also having a lot of fun here without you. Now, we were travelling yesterday and there was, as usual, a bit of pre-flight banter about if Fletch was going to put on his compression socks. Yes, because he's got the thrombosis.

Now, did you, so we were in the lounge and we were talking about when Fletch had deep vein thrombosis. Did you know the lady behind you started Googling? Did James tell you? No. So the lady behind kind of turned and looked when we were like laughing. Everything turned out okay. My friends were laughing that I had a mini stroke.

Ten years ago, everything was fine. So we were having a bit of banter. And she turns around shocked that we have such a casual attitude towards this because she's in the danger zone. Oh, yeah, right. She's over 60, so she's in the danger zone. Because I think when it happened to me, I was like 29 or 30. And I'd fallen asleep on a plane with skinny jeans and chucks. She's over 60, so she's in the danger zone. Because I think when it happened to me, I was like 29 or 30. Yeah.

And I'd fallen asleep on a plane with skinny jeans and chucks. And then, yeah, and then I had like a half of my body went like, bleh, numb, and my smile went upside down. Yeah. And then I was like, oh, I'll just go to bed. And then I was like, I'll pretty sure go to the hospital. So we walked there. Jesus.

So the DVT was talked about. The lady over your shoulder started like frantically Googling what DVT was Because we were like You know you were like Young and fit So it was fine But if you're older And stuff

And so she's like Freaking out on her flight To Dunedin That she's going to get DVT Does the D stand for Dunedin? How has she never heard of it though? I don't know Because you're always like

On longer flights You're like make sure You walk around Yeah stretch your legs Get up walk around But she started freaking out So then Fletcher's like No I don't have my compression socks,

but I am going to put socks on with my Birkenstocks, to which we all guffawed because what a hilarious joke. He was not hilarious joking. I was not joking. Well, because it was warm enough in Auckland where we were flying from, and it was going to be warm enough landing in Queenstown. But on the flight, you know, it gets a little bit nippier, and I still wanted to have my Birkenstocks.

No, weird because I was just in Birkenkin socks and I never felt the nip. Yeah, but I was in shorts and you were jeans. To be so concerned about the temperature. Well, I put my socks on, which did match my outfit, by the way, with blue and yellow. Blue and yellow. And I said, Birkin socks, Birkin socks with socks. I ran a poll on my Instagram. Yes, that's fash, 53%.

Yeah, it's fash. Trash, 47%. Yeah. But then God himself cast the vote by sitting Fletch next to a screaming baby that screamed the entire flight. Oh, my God. Did he shush it? He didn't shush it.

But when we got on, I turned around and I laughed and I said, dreams do come true. And they were like, we're so sorry. And Fletch was like, no, it's fine. These are noise cancelling. And I said, we're about to find out, I guess. They actually did cancel out most of the baby, but that baby cried the entire flight. I know, and I felt so sorry for the parents and the baby.

And the parents were like, like turning their back to me to like kind of block the sound. Yeah, so they couldn't see my reactions. Fletch, did you feel bad for the baby? No, I did wonder if they could have driven though. I should read the conversation. This is the conversation. We're all sitting on the plane. Sade and

I are in front of Fletch. Our friends James and Morgan are further down the plane. And here we go. I don't think we need to read this out. Seriously, just effing drive to Queenstown. James, I'm dying of laughter in the seat and there is a spare seat beside me

and Morgan said, this is gold. I also have a spare seat beside me. Fletch said, I am gold elite. These Jade level members should be in the back row. And my wife said, this is karma for Birks and Socks. You do this yourself. I said, it's also God himself smiting you for this week's, earlier in the week's escapade, which we haven't talked about on air

and never will because it's inappropriate. I said, your streak of good things this weekend, see, have as abruptly ended. And he said, this is bullshit. Put the baby in the bank apartment. And he said, this is bullshit. Put the baby in the revenge compartment. And I said, you are getting what you deserve. Then Fletch, as an act of revenge, puts his Birkenstocks and socks through between the seat and the wall

and kicks my arm off my armrest. So I take a photo. And I said, I can't. And Fletch puts it up on Instagram because I sent it to the group saying I can't believe this. And then I reshare it tagging in passenger shaming, which is an

Instagram account that specialises in abhorrent behaviour on planes. Like when people dry their undies with the air vent? Yeah. Or put their bare feet up on the windows and walls? Toes, like just bare the dogs are out. Or if they put a blanket up and play with themselves underneath it. Yeah.

Well, better if they do that than not put a blanket over at least. But I tagged them in when I shared it just because I was just like, this is a great example of poor behavior. They shared it. To 1.4 million people saw my socks and Birkin socks. Oh, my God. I'm looking at it now. They have so many people on here.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. So, great. So, I went viral last night. For being a pig. Socks and socks. For being a pig. Yeah.

For being an absolute pig. Then Fletch said later in the group chat, to be honest. There's a personal message. What happens in the group chat later in the group chat To be honest There's a personal message What happens in the group chat Stays in the group chat In all honesty He is being outed He is being outed

As the sort of person he really is In all honesty It was fine Like my noise cancelling headphones I was watching They must have done a good job Because every time my show went quiet I could hear the baby

I did feel so sorry for the parents I know I actually did That poor baby must have had very sore And because every time my show went quiet, I could hear the baby. I did feel so sorry for the parents. I know. I actually did. That poor baby must have had very sore. And I don't want them driving. You know. I'll sit next to them. It's fine. You can't retract.

See? I'm a man of the people. What happens in the group chat is unbelievable. I am going to leave. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. Itletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. It's the final rankings. All right, final rankings.

We do this every Friday. We've chosen this today because scientists in the UK have revealed the ultimate biscuit for dunking. This is how many dunks they got dunked before they broke. Yeah, so the time taken to break down. And they were just like, dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk, over and over until it crumbled.

Now, there's really no point reading this list. I'll tell you the number one biscuit, because we don't get a lot of these in New Zealand, but I do know you can get Jaffa Cakes in the International Isle. Oh, yeah, you can. And they're, how would you describe them? Kind of like a, they're like a spongy biscuit, eh?

Yeah, you're not like them. I'm not into them. They're an orange sponge with a chocolate layer. I love them. I can slam a whole pack in like 0.25 minutes. Yeah, you are the Tesla of biscuits. Biscuits, straight up there. But your Jaffa Cake was the number one dunking biscuit out of the UK.

But final rankings today, and we do this every Friday, we rank different things. We're going to do biscuits that you can dunk. Yes. Ginger Nuts, the classic. Ginger Nuts, the classic. I would have gone Ginger Nuts. Ginger Nuts is the classic.

Also, Digestives, because you were the cup of tea, you had, like, Digestive. Yeah. They had chocolate on one side, Digestive on the other. Is that a Wheaton? Yeah, a Wheaton. A Wheaton was a smaller, thicker digestive.

I don't, yesterday, I don't know, do you think it's because I'm cute, but the guy, the New Zealand guy gave me two biscuits. You are cute, yeah. It's because I'm cute, eh? Big flirt.

Big flirt, because I was flirting. Do you reckon it's because I was flirting? Yeah. Or he just felt bad that the baby next to me was crying. That, and he saw that you were wearing socks with Birkenstocks,

and he's like, this guy's got no idea. Give him two biscuits. Give him two biscuits. But anyway, I dunked both of those into my coffee, and I've got to say, like, the cookie time. Chocolate chip. Chocolate chip for dunking. I think that's my number one.

What about, controversially, a Tim Tam? Yes. For the Tim Tam slam. And then you suck the coffee up through the biscuit. And you suck the melted chocolate off. Yeah. Why did it end off turning into a little straw? That's technically not a dunk, though, is it?

It's like we're talking pure dunks. Yeah, people love to dunk an Oreo. Oreo is like milk. And milk, yeah. I guess that's technically a dunking biscuit. I would go, number three for me would be the chocolate dipped digestive. Number two would be the all-time classic ginger nut.

Yeah. And number one, I'm going to go chocolate chip two, dunked into like a milk. You know when you make fresh cookies and you dunk it into a milk and you're like, I've done it.

I've never, I don't, yeah, I don't do cookie milk dunking. That's the only time I'll drink milk is if I make cookies. Right,

and you don't drink coffee very regularly, so you wouldn't be dipping in coffee. What about controversially, could you dunk a squiggle? You could dunk anything. I mean, you can dunk anything, but should you dunk a squiggle is the question, and I think the answer would be an overwhelming no. Just a quick dunk, and then you get the middle all, like, soaked with coffee, and then it doesn't melt the chocolate so much,

and you just gob it straight down. Okay. Yeah, I'm going gob it straight down. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to go chocolate chip. What about shortbread? Yes. Shortbread, ginger, nuts. Yeah, but so, so soft. So soggy.

Yeah, yeah, so soft. And if it was a hard shortbread, you'd chuck it in the bin and say, yuck. Shortbread. Yeah. Yeah, it's supposed to be crumbly and buttery. You've got to quickly dunk the shortbread. It doesn't stay solid long. I'm going to go ginger nut. Yeah. It's supposed to be crumbly and buttery. You've got to quickly dunk the shortbread. It doesn't stay solid long.

I'm going to go ginger nut. Yeah. I'm going to go digestive. Yeah. Or no, chocolate Wheaton because it's smaller so it fits in the cup. Digestive you have to break in half to fit in the cup. And it's got a chocolate coat. Yeah.

Unless you're drinking from a bowl latte, you could probably get it. It's just more milk, isn't it? Basically, way more milk. And what have I said? Ginger nut? And chocolate chip. And chocolate chip. So overall, we'd say chocolate chip, number one.

I think so. And ginger nut loitering around the top there, too. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Okay, well, that's decided. Go and have a bicky. Go and have a bicky.

Go and have a bicky. Go and have a bicky. Have and have a bicky. Go and have a bicky. Go and have a bicky. Have a fantastic weekend. That is our show. Today, if you miss any of the shows during the week, grab the podcast. Yeah. Wherever you podcast.
