The Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards.
Good morning, welcome to the show.
Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Minus Vaughan today.
Minus Vaughan.
Who's on his annual man cold leave.
Yeah, if you hadn't heard him on Friday, it was pretty bloody rough.
Yeah, he fronted up for the school quiz that we went to on Saturday night and I probably
shouldn't have been doing that either. Probably shouldn't.
So he's got a very deep, gravelly
husky voice right now. It's hot.
That's why he's not in because it's too sexy.
For us it would be distracting.
It would drive people off the roads.
Yeah, it really would. And so he's
resting up today with a couple of lemon
honeys at home. Yeah.
Rest well, friend.
But we'll still do the top six.
I'll give it a go.
I'll give it a go.
Top six.
Oh, yeah.
So Google is charging, what is it, $99?
Dollars.
Dollars for their employees to sleep at work.
So I'm assuming you get like a proper room and stuff, right?
Like you don't just have to sleep under your desk.
Well, isn't Google the place of like the little pods,
little sleep pods and that kind of stuff?
So there's also another company that's been doing this as well,
but it's quite popular in America because people work all the time.
Yeah, well, I'm going to do the top six places you can sleep in New Zealand at work.
Right, okay.
Yeah.
Is this sanctioned or like?
I've gone rogue.
Right, okay.
Yeah, absolutely unsanction Right, okay. Yeah.
Absolutely unsanctioned, but follow me.
Next on the show, the success of Barbie continues.
It does.
So many people saw it at the weekend.
It does.
It's going to break more records.
It's breaking more and more records every day.
But there's a trend that's come out on the back of this film to do with Botox.
And it's not, it's probably not the one you think of. film to do with Botox. And it's not,
it's probably not the one you think of.
Next, Taylor Swift.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
I, when I saw this,
thought, because it's called Barbie Botox.
That's the trend. Okay. Everywhere on the
talk, everywhere on the threads.
Everywhere on the gram. Nobody's using
threads. Nobody is using threads.
80% of daily users have dropped on threads.
80%?
So everybody signed up and then everyone's like, nah.
I signed up in a panic because our group chat was like,
you can't get your threads name.
And I was like, what?
No, I haven't even used it.
I know.
And then apparently you can't delete threads without deleting your Instagram.
Did someone say that? Instagram is my platform of choice. So they've got you. So what apparently you can't delete threads without deleting your Instagram. Did someone say that?
Instagram is my platform of choice.
So they've got you.
So what do you do?
Just keep your threads there like...
Yeah, just sits there dormant.
Dormant.
Hibernating.
Waiting to explode.
Let me open it.
Have I posted anything?
No, you haven't posted any threads yet.
Are there any exciting threads?
Did anyone post anything exciting?
This is exciting.
A comedian, James Nikise, he posted something.
He's got one reply.
Yeah.
Right.
The All Blacks.
Now, the All Blacks posted a picture of Richie McCaw and Jason Momoa.
12 replies.
Now, that should get more than that.
That should get more than that.
It's not working.
It's not working.
Yeah.
Nope.
Nothing.
Well, you should feel
quite special. You're one of 20% of the
world using threads today.
Oh my god, yeah. I just
logged in and kept them alive a little bit longer.
Anyway, this trend's everywhere,
be it threads or not. It's called Barbie Botox.
And I thought this was like, you know,
put it in your face so your face doesn't move and you look like
a doll. Yeah. Which essentially is what Botox
does. And shiny. You look shiny and plastic.
Do you know what I thought this today?
I was like, I'd like to add a bit more shine to my face.
Really?
I'm more of a fan of matte.
You're a matte man?
I'm a matte.
Like matte paint, matte magazines.
Yeah.
You've got a matte polish on your car.
You got that done.
I would totally have a matte polish on my car if I had a car.
No,
Barbie Botox is people get injected in their trapezius.
The traps bra. The traps bra. So that's
what's like on the top of your shoulders between
your neck and your shoulders. Is that what you'd explain?
Yeah, exactly.
And if you see it on a bodybuilder,
the traps bra, they pop.
It's like it's own little
gadoof gado own little the shoulder goes
the trapezius muscle
yeah
so
on women
in particular
if you inject
that muscle
because mine is
like
yeah there's a bit
of a something
but I've bra
I'm a gym bra
you're a gym
yeah
you know I've been
back for a week
also are we doing
a class
we're doing classes
this week
yeah we'll sync
calendars
okay
I'm a bit busy.
Because you said last week was your big week and you did one out of the whole five days.
I went to the gym four times, but in one class.
Okay, yeah, right, good.
I did go to the gym twice over the weekend, but that was just a shower.
That doesn't count.
So you went three times last week.
I tagged on.
Right.
Anyway, if you inject your traps, brah,
apparently they drop down and create that Barbie neckline.
But is that because having just Googled what are traps,
it says here that they stabilize your spine and help your posture.
Yeah, yeah, they're important.
But if you inject them with Botox, is that going to... But look how nice it looks.
So, like, most people...
How do they sink?
Most people would have the neck hit the trap,
and then it would be an angle down to the shoulder.
But this almost goes, like, right down and then flat to the shoulder.
How does it do that?
I know.
Surely your head's going to be like...
Just wriggling around in there.
It gives you the silhouette of a narrower frame.
Good for people with broad shoulders.
Hey, by the way, I'm not promoting this.
Right, yeah.
I do, because someone commented on this article saying like,
you know, the traps are really important.
Well, that's what I was just saying.
They stabilize your spine and posture and stuff.
But you could look like Barbie.
Wow, there you go.
It's the latest trend to come out of the Barbie world.
I would love to know if anybody that does Botox has had requests for the traps.
In New Zealand.
Or just weird.
Because what other weird places do people get?
I know some people get it in the pits to stop sweating.
Yeah, I've got a friend who gets it in her forehead to stop sweating.
She has a sweaty forehead.
Yeah, well, when she performs, she's a comedian.
Right.
Yeah, she gets it there.
Oh, so lots of people get it in their jaw for grinding.
Except you're grinding your teeth.
Except you're grinding your teeth.
I thought about it for a while, but then I didn't want to be like...
Have a real, like, slack jaw.
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.
Today's silly little pole.
Well, we spoke last week about the campsite in Australia that had kind of, I guess, got people talking, arguing, because there was a Starlink satellite
with the campsite.
So they had like ultra fast
internet whilst in a tent.
It would literally be better than my home
internet. Yeah. I'm fibre
I think. Like literally. But in
the middle of nowhere, you're fully connected.
So it kind of got people arguing like,
do you want to be in nature or do you want
to, may as well just be at home.
Yeah, what's the point?
Because you're cold and showering's
hard. So we wanted to know for our
silly little poll today, do you enjoy going
off-grid, internet free?
No.
32% of people
yes. 68%
of people. I feel like that's people. I feel like that's bullshit.
I feel like that's bull.
I think that's bull.
Really?
I think people are lying.
I think, I think, so most people say they like going off grid.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're lying.
I think there's a holier than thou thing happening here.
68% of people say yes.
They love it.
Going internet free.
I think it is. I think you're right. It's a lie. I think they're going like, yes. They love it. Going internet free. I think it is.
I think you're right.
It's a lie.
I think they're going like,
yeah, I'm not addicted to my phone.
There'll be a lot of anxious feelings
that come in.
I'm not even,
I've noticed recently
when I don't have my phone,
I do, I think about it
and I feel a bit odd
and I feel a bit weird.
Like, am I missing something?
Yeah, like, where is it?
And I, yeah, I'm...
It is kind of nice though when it does happen every now and again. Like, you go stay in the middle of nowhere. You, like where is it? And I, yeah. It is kind of nice though
when it does happen every now and again.
But you go stay in the middle of nowhere. You're like, okay, this is
actually nice. Yeah, as long as I can charge my phone.
And I don't know why, it's so I don't
even use it that much.
So some responses in.
Chris said yes,
but I don't do it often enough.
Yeah. Some people
do like a detox.
Do you remember when there was like a phase
where like people would buy a lockbox
and it had a timer on it?
Yes.
And you'd put your phone in it
and it would not unlock no matter what
until that timer went off.
Or people will buy dumb phones
like the old Nokia.
So they actually make new ones,
but all they have are buttons
and you can like text and that's it and call and that's it.
What about the old days?
No, no apps.
Josh said, no, I despise it.
But if I don't force it on myself every now and again,
I can feel the threads of my mind slipping and running away.
So it's necessary.
The threads of my mind.
But there's such good content out there.
Sometimes I love a scroll.
Like a mindless scroll.
I know, but what are we missing, you know?
Nothing.
You're missing what's on Instagram.
A message in from a mum.
Hello, mum.
Good morning, mum.
No, pick me up, mum.
Drop me off, mum.
Need food money, mum.
Bring food to my room, mum.
What?
Bring food to my room? Can I What? Bring food to my room?
Can I have food, mum, texting from a bloody bedroom?
I love them, but for F's sake.
Oh.
So could you imagine the sheer audacity of back in the 90s or the early 2000s messaging your mum or your dad to bring you food to your bedroom?
My mum would just swear at me.
She'd be like, no way.
Like there's a hotel service or something.
Yeah.
Mum would say there's fruit in the bowl.
Yeah, exactly.
Yell it down the hallway,
there's fruit in the bowl.
There's always bloody fruit in the bowl.
I don't want fruit.
We can't be hungry.
But yeah, it turns out
we like a bit of off-grid time
or we're just big liars.
I think we're big liars.
Big liars. We're all hooked big liars. Big liars.
We're all hooked on our phones.
Next on the show.
A new clothing fairy that I'm going to try to break down for you.
Fairy or theory?
Theory.
Like a woodland fairy.
What's the bad idea?
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
So this is called clothing sandwiching.
Right.
Sandwich clothing.
Clothing sandwiching. You take it the way you want it. Clothing sandwiching. Right. Sandwich clothing. Clothing sandwiching. You take it
the way you want it. Clothing sandwiching.
Yeah, so I watched this.
I watched a video on
TikTok, which is unlike
me, to be honest, but I watched one
about clothing sandwiches.
And
when I tried to understand it,
I broke it down to, you wear
something on the top, something on the bottom, and something in the middle.
Like a sandwich.
Yeah.
So what's the middle?
You wear a luncheon.
You wear a luncheon belt.
Yeah.
But I was like, yeah, you wear something on the top and something in the middle.
Otherwise, your tits are out.
Or your butt's out.
Yeah, exactly.
We don't want to see that.
No.
But then I've read another article,
and it's about balancing outfits.
So the concept's simple.
Bread, right?
You've got the bread is the same.
Something on the top and something on the bottom is the bread.
Right.
And then something fun is the filling.
Right.
So you might have a blue jacket and some blue shoes.
Yeah.
And then a fun frock in the middle.
And that's your filling. And that's a sandwich.
Now, young hip girlies,
have I understood this correctly?
Yeah, you're onto it.
Do you sandwich? Do you do a clothing sandwich?
Yeah, I try, like every morning I'm like
you've got to balance the outfit. So like today I've got
a white boot, normal blue
jeans and then a white and orange jumper.
So the white boots matches the jumper.
Yeah, so you've got to have consistency.
The bread's got to match each other.
Yeah.
And then break it up with something opposite.
So orange and blue are opposite.
I'm not sandwiching.
Everything's just dark, isn't it?
Yeah, you're just three slices of white bread.
Oh, no.
Carween, do you?
Yeah, so right now I have white sneakers on,
a green shirt and black pants.
So you're sandwiching the dark colour of the black pants,
which is like a majority of the outfit.
It just sounds like clothes.
With two light colours.
Look, it is, but...
Am I sandwiching?
No.
I've got a blue jacket, a multicoloured dress and white shoes.
But there's white in your dress so it works.
Yeah, it works.
And there's blue in the dress too.
Yeah, and an easy way to do this if you're not wanting to really shape your whole day around sandwiching your outfits,
it would be a belt.
So just like the whole classic of match your shoes to your belt is sandwiching.
So the belt and the shoes is the bread.
Basically, yeah.
And everything else is the filling.
Yes.
So Fletch, if you wanted to sandwich, you could chuck on some light shoes and a lighter belt today.
Oh, yeah.
So you could wear a white belt.
A white belt?
I don't have a white belt.
With a big buckle.
I don't have a white belt.
Should I get a white belt?
Do you remember when men started wearing white belts all the time?
Yeah, real skinny ones.
Real skinny white belts.
I never did that.
Jared, did you have a white belt?
No, I didn't have a white belt.
I had a belt with green and yellow spiky studs on it.
He's just a skater boy.
Right, but you could sandwich that with your green shoes.
Yeah, I've got green and yellow chucks.
You could wear one green on the left, one yellow on the right,
and then the green and yellow belt.
That's sandwiching.
Yeah, but yellow has a thicker sole, so I'll be hop along sandwiching.
Yes, you'll be one of those people with a special shoe.
Okay, well, join us tomorrow.
Jared's going to wear this outfit, and we'll upload a photo to social.
Sandwiching.
Sandwiching. Hello
Well Vaughan's away
So you're doing the top six today
Yes
Now Google
It's big office
Is it in LA?
No so San Fran
It's in San Francisco
In California
Oh
I didn't know that they actually have like a on-campus hotel,
like proper accommodation.
I thought it was just going to be like, you know,
slumming around the office in one of their pods or beanbags or something.
Yeah.
But they've offered their employees a $99 a night stay at this hotel,
which they can take up as they wish.
And they're trying to create more of a hybrid
workspace. Because they've also
had problems with people
coming back to work. Yeah.
No one came back.
And they've said now you've got to come back at least
three days a week. Yeah. So instead of
working from home, they want you to
come home from work, basically.
It sounds very dystopian, doesn't it?
It sounds unhealthy.
You leave your work hotel and walk across the path to work.
No thanks.
Yeah.
So they're saying the average monthly rent, also weird, you know overseas how they pay
rent for a whole month?
Yeah.
Especially in America.
Yeah. rent for a whole month? Yeah, especially in America. Yeah, so at $3,000,
the average rent in San Fran a month
is $3,300 US dollars.
What's that?
So they're saying
this Google hotel would cost
you $3,000, but no
commute time. So no public transport,
no cars, no car parks.
Holy moly!
That is $5,500 a month.
Yeah, New Zealand.
That's crazy, right?
That's over $1,000 a week.
Yeah.
A lot.
Yeah.
Wow, come to New Zealand, everybody.
Well, because they want you to stay...
Yeah, but broccoli's $10.
Yeah, exactly.
It all adds up.
It's not at the moment, but it can be.
It can be.
Cauliflower is.
Well, because they want you to stay at the work,
I've got the top six
places you could sleep,
workplaces you could sleep in New Zealand.
Asterix, ask your work
first. You'll ask, I reckon.
Yeah, okay, right. They'll put on
the security things and you'll set that off and
that's a whole thing. Number six,
Sealy. I mean, that one's just obvious,
isn't it? They've got the beds there. They've got the beds
there. Now, we've been to the showroom for Sealy.
You go downstairs and there's all of their beds.
All of the beds.
And they're there to lie on.
Yeah, you could just sleep at work, yeah.
Maybe like BYO, like a robe or a blanket or something,
because Sealy do not provide blankets.
And sheets.
The showroom beds don't have sheets.
You can't roar dog.
No, you can't.
No.
No, go roar on the mattress.
Number five, Kathmandu.
You get all the puffers.
Yeah.
And create sort of a bed on the floor. Yeah. And with all the feather down, it'll be really nice to be sleeping on the mattress. Number five, Kathmandu. Get all the puffers and create sort of a bed on the
floor and with all the feather down
it'll be really nice to be sleeping on a cloud.
Or one of those camping mats. Yeah, you could do a camping
mat and then cover yourself in puffers.
In fact, they've actually got sleeping bags. But then every
morning you've got to repack the puffers.
And then also you don't want your
customers unpacking a puffer and there's dribble
on it or an unknown stain.
Okay, yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, well, catmando probably wouldn't work then
because I'm a dribbler.
I'm a big dribbler.
Big dribbler.
I bought some new sheets, just some temporary sheets
because I had an accident with one of mine.
It's a story for another day.
Is it?
Yeah.
I got rust on it, but that's a long story.
Rust?
I washed the sheets
and then remember
I pulled out the sheets
and then I bled on the sheets
because I cut my finger
and then I put those sheets
back in the wash
but then I ran out of time
to dry them
so then I put them
in my boot wet
to dry them the next day
but I didn't realise
I had a cast iron pan
in the boot
and that rubbed up against it
and created a rust.
The white sheet's now rusty.
Anyway, I bought cotton sheets.
I'm usually a linen girl.
I bought cotton sheets.
And they really show the dribble.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Sorry, long story.
Head on the sheets, rust on the sheets, my God.
Number four of the top six workplaces you could sleep,
Briscoe's.
It literally has everything.
Yeah.
Do they have beds though?
Yeah, they've got display beds.
They're like half length. Oh, yeah, okay. But you can just curl up like a cat. Yeah. But they've got bedding ahoy. Yeah. Do they have beds though? Yeah, they've got display beds. They're like half length.
Oh, yeah, okay.
But you can just curl up
like a cat.
Yeah.
But they've got bedding ahoy.
They've got robes.
They've got toothbrushes.
Pillows.
So many pillows.
Pillows.
Spatulas.
Cutlery.
They've got barbecues.
So you can literally
wheel the barbecue
out the front door,
get one of the spatulas fresh,
cook yourself dinner.
And then when you finish,
just roll it all up
in a suitcase
and you're done.
And put it back on the shelf.
Yeah.
Number three, Audi.
Now, look, I'm no longer a temporary ambassador, but they did have nice seat heaters.
No, you've been let go, actually.
I have been let go.
You've been let go.
I think too many speeding tickets and too many bloody custard down the side.
Yeah.
But they had nice seat heaters and a big recline.
Oh, yeah.
And now you can get in one of the big Audis. Yeah. And the boot, just put the seats down. Get in the side. Yeah. But they had nice seat heaters and a big recline. Oh, yeah. And now you can get in one of the big Audis.
Yeah.
And the boot,
just put the seats down.
Get in the boot.
Yeah.
But I think, again,
if you're going to get in the boot,
tell someone that's where you're going.
Yeah.
Because if you can't get out,
you'll die.
Yeah.
Number two on the list
of the top six workplaces
you could sleep,
tip top.
Oh, yeah, dangerous.
Now you could get,
because they do the super soft.
Yeah.
They do the super soft bread
and again if you layered that up
that would be a nice
sleeping surface.
Oh I went straight to ice creams
not the bread.
Oh no I'm going to the bread factory.
Oh okay right.
In Christchurch.
Yeah okay.
Were you going to have ice creams?
What's that good to do
to stay in the night?
Just sleep on the couch
and just when you're hungry
have ice creams.
Okay.
You can go to either
branches of tip top.
Okay.
And number one
on the top six list of workplaces you could sleep, bed, bath and beyond.
They've got beds.
Then you could have a bath.
Yeah.
And God knows what else is beyond.
Never seen a bath in a bed, bath and beyond.
It's in the name.
You'd think so, right?
That's false advertising.
That is today's top six.
I witnessed a crime at the weekend. You did? today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
I witnessed a crime at the weekend.
You did?
I got a message from you because I'd just finished swimming
and I've now turned into your personal shopper.
I know,
the audacity of it, eh?
Hayley's like,
can you just grab me some things
from the supermarket?
I need this, this, this and this.
Because I don't live,
I don't live close enough to a supermarket
to just pop. I know, I know. And I don't live close enough to a supermarket to just pop.
I know, I know.
And I was like, you're coming out.
Can you just go and grab me a few groceries?
And I was like, well, this is perfect.
I'm on my way home.
What did you need?
Some chips and some dips.
Some chips, some cheeses, some dips.
For our quiz night, our table.
Yeah.
And so I was like, okay, fantastic.
I finished at the pool.
I was walking to the, there's like a little mini supermarket in the city.
And the city lately has been wild.
Like two shootings over the last couple of weeks.
That poor guy died.
One of those guys that got shot last week on Coinsry.
There's like tagging everywhere.
I saw someone the other day tagging, this isn't the crime that I saw,
but just had like a massive one of those thick sharpies just tagging in daylight.
I was like, like no one cares anymore.
Well, Auckland CBD has gone to the dogs.
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely like a lot more alive
since COVID and tourists are back
and FIFA's on at the moment.
So there is like a cool buzz.
It's just awesome.
But there's an area, there's a condensed area
that has just gone a bit rogue.
It's just all this shit happening still.
And so I walked into this little mini supermarket A condensed area that has just gone a bit rogue. Just all this shit happening still.
And so I walked into this little mini supermarket and I see two guys walk out of the entrance
walking at a brisk pace, carrying a box of Coronas each.
And I was like, oh, weird.
Okay.
And then just as I go to walk in, a guy bumps into me.
He's also carrying a box of Coronas
and wanting to leave at quite a rate out of the entrance.
And that's when I realised that there's,
and I would say not even old enough to buy booze,
maybe 16, 17-year-olds, just taking off with a box of Coronas each.
And there's this massive guy, like a big burly guy,
and he's just like, kind of like me, just like,
what's happening here? And then he says to the supermarket staff, like a big burly guy. And he's just like, kind of like me, just like, what's happening here?
And then he says to the supermarket staff, like, oh, are you going to do any, are you going to chase them?
Are you going to do anything about this?
And they were like, oh, no, we don't, we can't stop them.
We just have to let them go.
And I'm just like, what just happened?
What is the point?
The sheer audacity.
Because I mean, like most supermarkets will have security, but I'm thinking because this was like a mini metro-y one that they didn't.
And I was just like, what?
But also what can security do if they're just ploughing?
They might be able to grab the boxes, right,
but they can't touch the people.
No, you can't like tackle them to the ground.
These kids needed a hiding.
They needed to be taken down.
I cannot.
I don't know where you get the entitlement from and the audacity to go,
I'm just going to walk up and grab it and leave.
Wild.
In front of everyone.
I'm not going to, like, conceal it.
I'm not going to try to, like, put a few beers in my bag.
You're on, like, probably 20 cameras.
Yeah, well, they won't be able to go back there, will they?
But then again, like, who's going to stop them?
Who's going to stop them?
Who's going to stop them? Who's going to stop them?
I was just like, it is, wow.
It is ballsy.
I never stopped.
I used to, because I've admitted this before,
I used to steal direct from people's bags when I was at primary school.
It was weird.
On, like, sandwiches and stuff.
Yeah, and, like, little, like, keychains and little, like, toys and stuff.
It was so weird that I did that.
It was so weird that I did that, how I had the audacity to do that.
But I've never stolen from a shop.
And that's not me lying and saying that.
Because I had friends that used to shoplift.
Yeah, yeah.
Have a little bit.
They would go naughty phase and steal a T-shirt or something.
It's wild though.
But I never did it because I would always, I would be so scared to get caught.
But they don't care.
They're just like, I just could not believe it. But they don't care. They're just like...
They're right.
I just could not believe it.
So they got Coronas.
Yeah.
If you're going to steal, get a nice beer.
I don't because they did walk out the entrance
and that's right by Prodgers.
I don't know if they grabbed a couple of limes as well.
Because you'd have to get a couple of limes.
It's the only way to drink that horrid beer.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
There was a survey.
This has been done out of Great Britain.
I've nailed that accent.
You really have.
Nailed that.
That asked a lot of people about what is the most ick-inducing first date.
Like location or just experience altogether.
Oh, yeah.
No, experience.
How long has the term ick been around for?
Got the ick.
I cross now to our Gen Z Shannon.
I feel like it's been around a while.
Probably a while, but I feel like it's big in the zeitgeist now.
It's because of Love Island.
Yeah.
It's given me the ick.
Oh, no, he's given me the ick.
The ick first appeared in 1979.
Oh, it did? Yeah.
Okay.
Somebody's done a prospect magazine,
has done the etymological roots of the ick.
There's a full article.
If you do know that feeling though,
you see someone and you're like,
what was the text we got
and someone was talking about a horse?
What?
Oh, he ran like a horse.
Clippity-clop.
Went on a date with someone and never saw them run and then saw them running
and he looks like a horse running on the beach or something.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm still laughing about it.
Anyway, so they asked everyone what is the most ick-inducing first date ideas?
And they brought it down to the top five,
starting with the fifth being karaoke.
Oh, okay.
Because if they're amazing, it's almost ick
because you're like, oh, God,
you're just giving a solo performance.
Calm down, you're not that great.
You know that they're just trying to show off. Yeah, yeah. And you're never going to beat them. And you're like, oh, God, you're just giving a solo performance. Calm down, you're not that great. You know that they're just trying to show off.
Yeah, yeah.
And you're never going to beat them.
And you're like, oh, get out.
And then if they're bad, also ick.
Also ick, yeah.
Bad, the worst is when someone's bad at karaoke,
but they don't know that they're bad.
Yeah.
I love a bad karaoke if they're like, oh, I'm just having fun.
Karaoke is for groups of friends.
I will pass.
Like, I'll go and watch. Yeah, you don groups of friends. I will pass. Like, I'll go and watch.
Yeah, you don't partay.
I won't want to be there.
I'll try to avoid karaoke at all costs.
I try to get in at least a weekly session.
It's not a date thing.
No, it's not a date thing.
So that's the fifth.
The fourth was hiking.
Hiking.
Okay.
Do you think it's because you're like...
For me, when I go hiking, it's always that first hill,
and then you have regret, and you're like, why are we here?
This was such a dumb idea.
Let's go for a hike.
And that first hill, you're like, I'm so unfit.
And it's fine if you're with your friends or your partner,
but when it's a new person and it's a first date,
you don't want to be all sweaty and yuck in front of them.
You've got to pee in the bush if it's a long hike.
And you're wearing stupid shoes that aren't cute.
So that's that.
The next one was rock climbing.
Rock climbing?
Yeah.
No.
Now, if I was to go on a date with Jason Momoa,
God, it's heavy on the Jason content today.
It's because he's in the kitchen.
He's in the news cycle again. I'm feeling the kitchen. He's in the news cycle again.
I'm really all funny.
He's in the news cycle again.
But he's a rock climber.
Is he?
I would really embarrass myself.
No upper body strength.
You'd have to be that girlfriend that is the one that,
what do they call it, belays them, relays them,
or what are they?
You know, you're at the bottom and you're like
feeding them a bit of rope so that if they fall,
they can lock off and they won't die.
If you suck at that, which I would, and he falls.
Well, you'd be on your phone and he'd fall.
I'd be taking a photo like, me and my man on the wall today,
and then I'd let the rope go.
He falls down, yeah.
Momoa killed in tragic rock climbing accident in New Zealand.
Yeah, also it gives you that wedgie thing when you have the harness on
and then there's a lot of clumping. I know, exactly. No thanks. Yeah. Also, it gives you that wedgie thing when you have the harness on and then there's a lot of clumping.
I know, exactly.
No thanks.
Clumping.
Yep.
The ickiest,
the second place.
For the ickiest first date.
Yeah.
Was being invited to watch
the other person do something.
Like watch them do sport or something.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
So I was like,
oh my god,
for our first date, why don't you come to a marching
competition? It is like...
Yeah. And then you're all
distracted because you're doing your thing with your
people. I don't want to see that.
Do you want to watch me play sport?
I love that the way that they've labelled it
is being invited to watch the other person
do something. Yes. Do you want to watch
me clean my house? Do you want to watch me clean my house?
Do you want to watch me do the fridge?
That's kind of fun, actually.
No, thanks.
Now, the ickiest date of all. This is number one.
Number one, escape rooms.
Yes.
That got the most votes.
Do you know what's wild?
I've never done an escape room.
I've done a couple, and.
I just think that doesn't sound fun to me at all.
I'm just not a fan of forced fun.
Yeah.
And it's just like, I just want to leave.
I'd just rather be at a bar or doing something fun.
Yeah.
But then some people love them because they love the whole, you know,
like problem solving and teamwork and it's a fun adventure.
And they've taken off in popularity.
Yeah.
But no thank you.
Yeah.
I don't want to do it with my friends. Yeah, I don't want to do it with my friends.
I don't want to do it alone.
And I certainly don't want to go to an escape room on a first date.
Because I'd lose my cool.
I'd be so uncool.
Like two minutes in, I'd be like, get me the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
And then that's ick.
So those are your ickiest dates.
Don't do it.
For a first date.
Don't do it.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. So those are your ickiest dates Don't do it We are supporting this recession With Girl Maths
I mean we had Brad Olsen in, senior economist.
Now, we convinced him that it was actually legit.
Well, I think his point was if you're buying items of clothing
and you're using them more than once
and you're using them for many events and many things,
then he's on board with that.
Items of quality.
Yes.
That's right.
Now, my mother and father live in Italy half the year.
Must be nice.
Bloody hell, it must be nice.
Must be nice.
Now, I'm too old for the cold.
I'm too old for the cold, Hayley.
So they live in this little village,
and they're over there at the moment.
They've been over there for months,
and they listen to the show on the iHeartRadio app
because you can listen anywhere around the world. For free the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Because you can listen anywhere around the world.
For free as well on the iHeartRadio app.
Exactly.
Our morning is their night.
Their night is our morning.
They end the day by listening to Fletch, Fawn and Hayley.
That's lovely.
And bonjourno, Patsy and Craig.
Now, my mum heard about Girl Maths and she was like, well, hang on a second. And she sent me a photo.
She said she walked past a shop the other day and saw a dress.
And this dress was a silk dress, Italian silk.
Okay.
Italian silk.
Italian silk.
So already we're clocking up the value here, ladies.
I'm just wanting to get you painting the full picture.
Italian silk dress, but the shop was closed.
She sent me this saying, I saw this in a closed shop window
at the beach on the weekend.
I said, oh my God, that's gorgeous.
It's silk, long sleeve,
kind of hits over about the knee.
Yeah.
And it is an incredible fabric.
It's all like Frida Kahlo paintings.
Gorgeous.
Instant boomer bait.
Frida Kahlo, you know?
Look at this.
It's silk, it's pink, it's colourful.
It's incredible.
And the best thing about it is,
and this is how she's been justifying it in her hair,
she's going to come home and wear that.
No one else is going to be wearing the same dress.
That's so true.
That is so true.
So you've got to do a unique pace there instantly.
Yeah.
So she went into the store and had a look at it
and the price tag had her aghast.
I can imagine.
Especially whenever
you're overseas,
you always,
you cannot help
but then times it by two
and think,
that in New Zealand
would be double the price.
That's right.
That's right.
You're already at the location.
You've already said,
are you girlmasting?
Because she's already
saved the money
on the shipping
to get that dress high.
Exactly.
You're talking.
That's what I do.
We are getting
everybody on board here.
So then she saw the price tag and she said,
oh my God, I simply can't.
I simply can't.
Right.
She wouldn't even say the price to my father.
She didn't?
Okay, right, yeah.
Then she listened to an episode of Girl Maths
and she Girl Maths-ed this in her head.
One was that it would be more expensive in New Zealand.
Okay.
The Italian silk,
like to buy the equivalent of that dress in New Zealand
would be absolutely absurd. Yeah. We're silk, like to buy the equivalent of that dress in New Zealand would be absolutely
absurd. Yeah. We're talking
I reckon an eight.
Wow. I think it would start with an eight. Yeah.
And that's absurd. Oh my god, for a dress.
Italian silk. Okay. Frida Kahlo.
Yeah. And to get it here, you know.
And to get it here, I mean the shipping would have been at least
$200. Exactly.
I don't know how shipping works.
And then she said, well, today the store
was open, so she went in and she's bought it.
Yay! That's right.
Now, the silk is made in Sicily.
I mean, that's a conversation piece
already. And listen, every time that she wears it,
she's going to be like, oh, Italian summers, you know.
And so special, the memories.
Yeah, exactly.
I said, now look, that's
a one-off. She said, it's a one-off here too.
So no one in the world is going to have this dress.
This is a one-off dress.
And she said, so I applied girl maths to it.
It is the most expensive dress I've ever bought.
But we have two weddings, brackets, maybe three.
Perfect.
Right?
Next year and a cruise.
So divide by four.
But on the cruise, wear it at least twice.
Yeah, you better wear it a few times on the cruise.
And then mum said to me, practically free.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's basically free.
It's basically free, yeah.
I've got another equation for that to help Patsy.
Please, please do.
So dresses are always 50% off
because you're only having to wear one item of clothing.
Oh!
So you're not wearing pants and a shirt.
What the hell?
So instead of buying a shirt and pants, you're not wearing pants and a shirt. What the hell?
So instead of buying a shirt and pants,
you're buying one thing
50% off.
Dresses are 50% off.
And you don't have to do
the mental stress
of matching your shirt
to your pants.
She's saving mental time.
The great thing is
with the length
of the stress as well,
we're talking heels
and a nice jacket.
That's an evening out. That's a wedding.
We're talking denim jacket and sneakers.
Now she's off to brunch.
It's basically free.
It's basically free. There are endless wears here.
And then I said, because
obviously the price of this dress was absurd
and she was afraid to tell my father. I said, well, how did you get
around that? They share bank accounts, obviously.
And they're together
in this shop. She applied girl maths
to my father
and he bought it.
Yeah!
Your father used to run
a finance company.
Yeah, dude.
How did she do this?
My dad knows money.
And he got girl maths.
Dad was on board
once I explained to him
the girl maths.
Great.
Do you see what you've started here?
Do you see what you've done?
It's a lifestyle.
We're saving people.
We are the CEOs of Girlmasts.
We are.
It's basically free.
Hayley's just found out that Jason Momoa is staying 200 metres
from our studios right now.
Is that right?
Hang on.
On Wednesday night,
Mamoa's going to have a medium VIP cocktail mixing gathering at Masu, one of my favourite restaurants.
I went there the night I got engaged,
but don't tell him that.
Don't tell him that.
He's going to be at Masu on Federal Street.
And also you're not invited.
Rude.
Let me check my inbox.
This is ridiculous.
A wild story now that's come from the UK.
The World Triathlon Championship has been held there.
So a few thousand people, but just this is so funny.
It's grotty.
I mean, it's grotty, but funny.
57 people out of the 2,000 athletes fell ill with sickness and diarrhea
after completing in the sea swimming events at the World Triathlon Championship.
Was this in Auckland?
No, but similar.
Like a lot of the sewage goes straight out to sea.
And because the swimming part was in the ocean off Sunderland's Blue Flag Roker Beach.
They were swimming in levels of E. coli that were shown to be 3,900 E. coli colonies per 100 mil.
That's more than 30 times higher
than typical readings at that beach the month before.
So there must have been a big, like, you know,
here whenever there's a lot of rain,
it overloads
all the systems
and they just
put the poo
straight out to sea
yeah
and we can't
swim at the beaches
like even in summer
there's so many
black flag
especially around
Auckland city
it's pretty sad
so yeah
these are like
athletes
and they are like
the world
triathlon champs
you know like
every race matters
you know I guess
you want to win
every
there'll be rankings for the year.
And you can't enter because you've shit yourself.
Oh my God.
Do you remember when we went to the beach?
In Auckland, there's an app, right?
I'm sure they have it everywhere, right?
Yeah, the water quality.
You can see how good the beach water is.
And all of the beaches had black, like as in do not swim.
Yeah.
And then there was one black flag beach and one black flag beach and the beach in the
middle wasn't a black flag so we went swimming there.
Yeah, but I don't know how that works because surely the poos can float.
Can the poos float?
It's the same sea.
It's the same sea.
It's the same sea.
It's grim.
It's very grim.
Do you remember there was a guy who ran a marathon who shat himself?
Do you remember that, the image?
Yeah.
And it was because he was going for a PB and was like.
He didn't want to stop.
I can't stop.
So this is what I wanted to ask.
Because 57 people, it's a lot.
When did everybody get sick?
Oh, yeah.
Because I remember we had a wedding.
This is going back years ago.
And Vaughn was there.
We had a wedding. And then we had two Airbn And Vaughan was there. We had a wedding.
And then we had two Airbnbs.
And at one of the Airbnb, I wasn't staying there.
They had a spa pool.
And everyone got in the spa after the wedding.
It was like five or six of them.
And they all got hot tub folliculitis.
Which is, when I learned that that's a thing, it's like a scabby rash.
It's like scabby rashes from like bad...
On all your follicles,
your hair follicles.
I've had folliculitis once.
And they all got it.
Yuck.
Yuck.
They all got it.
More chlorine.
And it's like when you hear
of like an event
and there's bad food
and everybody gets sick.
I mean,
this would have happened
a fair bit with COVID.
When COVID was first happening,
we didn't know what was...
That's right.
And people had weddings
and events.
But so this is what I wanted to know.
Has there been an event or something
where everybody got sick?
Because we can look back now and laugh, right?
Yeah.
Bonus points if there was one toilet
and you were like on site somewhere.
Yeah.
Apparently this happens on cruise ships as well a lot.
Yeah.
Like it can really like rip through.
What do they call it?
Gastro or there's another, I forget the name.
But yeah, it just rips through a cruise ship.
Imagine hearing through the walls.
Everyone.
Oh my God.
Get me, I'd jump off.
But yeah, maybe it was bad food at a wedding
or like a corporate event.
When did everybody get sick?
We want to take your calls.
When everybody got sick a corporate event, when did everybody get sick? We want to take your calls. When everybody
got sick at an event.
Whether it was bad food or
like the World Triathlon Championships
in England where they all swam
in the sea and got
diarrhea from the bad
Poozy seawater. Poozy water
makes your Poozy's watery,
doesn't it? 57 athletes
though out of 2,000 people.
Oh, my God.
Some messages.
We've had so many messages in,
and maybe this is going to make everyone feel sick.
Someone said, oh, my God,
on my friend's son's first birthday,
she changed his nappy and then touched all the food
and everyone got gastro.
Wash your hands.
Wash your hands. Wash your hands.
Christy, this was at a wedding.
Yes.
So it's not my story.
It's actually about a friend of mine, so I won't say her name.
Okay.
Beautiful.
So my friend, she has major allergies for quite a few things, poor girl.
But everybody had the same meal but her.
She had her own specifically designed meal just for her.
She was the only one that had allergies,
so everybody else had the exact same thing.
Yep.
I'm even talking the bride, the groom, and the whole work.
Everybody got food poisoning but her.
Oh, my God.
At a wedding.
There's so many people.
I reckon the next day barbecue, there's always the next day event.
That'll be cancelled.
That'll be cancelled.
Yeah, everyone's just in bed.
Wow.
Did they get money from the caterers back?
I'm not actually too sure.
I didn't ask too many questions.
Man, I would kick up such a fuss.
Yeah, I mean, because you prepaid that kind of stuff, don't you?
So you're probably not getting your money back.
Christy, thanks.
You're cool.
Helen, where did everybody get sick?
Oh, hi, guys.
Yeah, so I play for the New Zealand Women's Ice Hockey Team.
Yes, we do have a New Zealand Women's Ice Hockey Team.
Wow.
Yeah, we were playing Div 2 World Champs this year in South Africa. Oh, Yes, we do have a new film on the ice hockey team. Wow. Yeah, we were playing
Div 2 World Champs
this year in South Africa.
Oh, okay.
Good luck.
We can't wait to follow.
Oh, yeah,
we've been and done.
Oh, been and done.
Good luck.
Been and done.
Okay, right.
Amazing trip.
Amazing trip,
but what happened was
everyone just got
really, really sick
with gastro.
We still don't know how,
but...
South Africa, remember they did that to the All Blacks back in the,
when was that?
In the 2000s.
They poisoned us.
So we wouldn't win.
Yeah, that did get bandied around a bit.
But, yeah, we all, you know, it's an unfunded sport in New Zealand.
So we'd all paid $4,000 to represent our country.
So no one was going to let it affect them.
So we were out there, you know, feeling absolutely rotten
and pushed through and managed to win a bronze medal.
Oh, my God, congratulations.
Did anybody have an accident?
Very close near misses.
There was only one bathroom in the changing room,
so there was a bit of a, you know, I've got the biggest need, let me go.
You'd have to wear nappies.
Or at least, like, period undies to absorb some of it.
We wear a lot of gear when we play ice hockey.
Yeah, I know.
It's already tightly packed, isn't it?
Do you know what I literally said to Aaron last night,
because the NBA's out of season and the Formula One's off season,
taking a break, I'm going to...
This is going to be my new sport.
Ice hockey.
Come watch ice hockey, it's so much fun.
I'm going to get into it. I love it when they slam up against the plastic sides of the rink. Yeah, ice hockey. Come watch ice hockey. It's so much fun. I'm going to get into it.
I love it when they slam up against the plastic sides of the rink.
Yeah, do you guys fight?
Do you start fights?
Not as much as people think, but the sport is just as good by itself without the fighting.
Yeah, I know.
The fighting is weird.
And it's got the fighting as well.
And the fighting on top.
Thank you.
Well, bronze medalist as well, Helen, thank you for your call this morning. Keep your calls coming in.
When did everybody get sick?
We've got some wild stories.
Well, 57 people got sick at the World Triathlon Champs in the UK
because they swam in the ocean.
We're asking the question this morning.
Oh, my God.
When did everybody get sick?
There are some wild stories coming through.
Absolutely insane.
My niece said they served raw chicken at her school
ball at a nice hotel in Auckland.
Girls just started running to the loo
in their dresses. What happened that
quickly? Thankfully, she doesn't eat chicken
but when she opened a piece, it was pink.
Now, pink means it's raw.
Yeah, pink means it
hasn't been cooked. Yeah, you don't want that.
Anonymous, this was a
school camp. Everybody got cooked. Yeah, you don't want that. Anonymous, this was a school camp. Everybody got sick.
Yeah, so you guys can hear me all right?
Hello?
Yeah, yeah, we hear you.
We got you.
Loud and clear, Clem Fandango.
Yeah, excellent.
So I just want to paint this picture for you.
So imagine like a couple of years post-COVID
and people haven't gone away in a while.
We've got a bunch of fresh, lovely 11-, 12-year-olds
that are excited to go to camp five hours out of Auckland.
And we get there, and it's great.
We have dinner, and then overnight,
a couple of them aren't feeling so well.
And then the next morning, a couple more aren't feeling so well.
And nothing promotes that mass hysteria
much like one kid standing up and vomiting in front of everyone else.
Oh, my God.
And so we had a range of kids that were homesick and already feeling a little fragile.
We had some kids that see vomit and just go, whoop, I need a vomit now as well.
How many vomitors in total?
There were like a third of the 70 students got sick.
Five hours from home, at least five hours from home,
I got to a point where we had to ask parents
to come and start collecting some of them.
Do you mind doing a 10-hour round trip to pick up your kid?
Your gross kid is spewing.
We were vomiting, you know, out of the bin.
Do you know what made everybody sick?
No, we still don't know.
Wow.
So it's like, you know, there were a couple of kids that were sick initially.
Yeah.
And maybe there was a bit of cross-contamination with shared bathrooms.
But honestly, like, it could have just been the stress of the situation that made other people sick.
And God knows what, but our teachers got down with it as well.
There were only a couple of us on hand.
Oh, no, thanks.
We didn't want to see a two-litre ice cream container again.
Oh, yes.
Oh, my God, that was always the go-to.
Yes.
Yeah, solid rotation of containers and patting back.
Yeah.
Not a fun time.
Not keen to repeat it any time soon, but definitely a learning experience.
For sure.
Anonymous.
Thanks for your call.
Some messages in.
Long story short,
but there was a work function catered by someone with hepatitis.
The next work day was just a vaccine party.
What?
My son's preschool took the kids to a music department
and they all sheared a whistle. took the kids to a music department and they all shared a whistle.
All the kids got gastro.
And the parents, they had to close the preschool.
And all the parents had to come get their kids
and get professional cleaners in.
I got married last March, peak COVID.
We all got COVID, like everyone, the band, the photographer,
the bus driver.
Luckily, it was at peak COVID time,
so we didn't end up on the news like the infamous
Bluff wedding. Remember if you got COVID
and then the whole nation talked about it at one o'clock
on the press conference?
Remember that?
My husband and I went travelling around Eastern Europe
12 years ago and went to Serbia.
The hostel was out for a pub crawl
and everyone the next day had gastro.
Two bathrooms, 20 people. It was horrendous.
Yuck.
Oh my God.
Where's that Christmas Day one?
Oh, not a Christmas Day.
Yeah.
But gastro bug hit family reunion Christmas 2019.
Seven grandkids all vomiting and pooping.
My dad was spewed on three times.
We've dubbed it the best Christmas ever.
God, these are rough.
Oh, my daughter's first birthday, for her 10th birthday,
she had a bit of a tummy bug, but we didn't want to cancel
because we had a lot of people going.
Our friend had a work conference.
Everyone got sick and our friend had a work conference 48 hours later.
He shit himself and had to get on a flight early.
Sorry. Sorry.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
Well, no Vaughan today because he's got the man flu.
Yes.
Man cold.
He did.
He managed to push through.
About in the afternoon, he text us because we were all off to the quiz night.
Yeah, this is the quiz night for Vaughan's kids' school.
Yes. They do it to raise money so they can buy roofs.
Staplers and stuff.
Staplers and hole punches and...
Clear files.
Rulers.
Rulers.
Chalk.
Whiteboard markers.
Abacuses.
Abacai, I believe, because more than one.
Blackboards.
Maybe a slide? We could be funding a slide. Because more than one, yeah. Blackboards. Maybe a slide.
We could be funding a slide.
We don't know.
But we go along to have a good night out.
Yeah.
And I was all geared up.
I was like, whoo.
It's in the school hall.
And you're just BYO.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
So I had like three bottles of Prosecco chilling and some vodka cans in the fridge.
And then me and Fletch get a text saying, guys, I'm feeling so sick.
Can you guys host this quiz?
And we were like...
Lance and I was like,
oh, this did not become a fun night now.
This is not fun anymore.
Are we working now?
Yeah.
Sorry.
Are we working now?
Anyway, the good guy, he pulled through.
But to give him a little break,
I run the auctions.
Yeah.
Because they do auctions after each
round. And
they sell things like a ride with the
local fire department. Yeah, or
the coveted car park, which again for the second
year we've lost. I mean, when someone
makes a bid on the phone for $1,000, it's hard
to beat. A lot of money
for a car park and a school pickup. Shardé was trying, though.
Shardé was trying. Man, she was
trying to get that. But you were really good at the auctions. Yeah, thank you. Well,
it's because, yeah, my mum was a real estate agent and real estate agents work all weekend.
Yeah. This is the thing I remember the most was I would have to drive around with my mum
in her blue Ford Laser TT5106. I don't know why I remember the number plate. TT5106. Yeah.
It was a blue Laser, Ford Laser. Would she have a flag for the open homes?
She had a flag under the wheel.
Yep, good.
Okay.
And then she'd have her staple gun that she'd do to put up her signs.
Yep.
Patsy from LJ Hooker.
Yep.
And I would go to the auctions and it was the only part of the day that I liked was going
to the auctions and hearing the auctioneer being like,
The line I used a lot, which I, because we bought a house on auction
and the line I heard a lot
that I adopted was,
come on,
you're not going to lose it
for that much, are you?
So you're going like,
say you said,
350.
Okay, the votes with you,
350.
Can I get a 375?
Can I get a 375?
Come on,
you're not going to lose it
for $25 though.
You got 25 bucks.
I know,
and I did.
I kept getting it.
I've pushed the price high on some of these.
I know, you pushed the prices high,
and people, you really, I want to say bullied them into spending.
I bullied people into giving charity,
and I will bully them again next year.
Yeah, you were great at it.
Yeah, it was really fun.
I had a really fun time despite doing a little bit of work.
Vaughan did a great job of hosting
considering he was feeling quite rough.
Now, the big awards for the night.
Well, the first award was Best Dressed.
Now, check out our social media.
Is it up on our social?
Yeah, check it out on social media.
We did good.
Man, we did good.
So we all dressed as the minions.
And you were Gru.
And I spoke about this last week.
I said, I don't want to be Gru.
I want to be a minion.
It's easier.
But I tell you what.
It was good.
I might have, like, this could be a moneymaker for me.
I could hire myself out as a Gru for groups of minions in quizzes
and charge handsomely.
Because I got a lot of compliments.
I don't know.
Is it a compliment?
Yeah, it's a compliment that you look like Gru.
I was a great Gru.
It was a scarf. Yeah. It was a great Gru. It was a scarf.
Yeah.
It was a Gru scarf.
The scarf was phenomenal.
And also you pulled your weight.
You were scribe.
Yes, I did all the answers on the sheet.
It was a team scribe.
We were Gru's crew was the name of our group.
And we won best dressed.
We won best dressed.
Not only that, we won the whole damn quiz.
We won the quiz by like two points.
Producer Jarrod was part of our team,
one of Gru's crew.
Would you say that was one of the hardest quizzes?
Yeah.
It was hard, eh? At least twice as hard as last year.
Yeah, it was unreal.
The questions were like, what?
And one of the rounds,
you could choose a round that was double points,
and we were like, oh, this will be the round.
This will be the easy round.
And the round we chose the double points was really hard.
No, impossible.
It wasn't what we thought it was going to be.
Yeah, we thought it was going to be like,
name these companies from their logos
and it ended up not being that at all.
No, it was tough.
And towards the end, I mean, we'd all been sluzzing back there.
Yeah, yeah.
The Vodisodas and the Proseccos.
I think I contributed less and less.
But we won.
And do you know what?
We beat a team that had won the last two years.
I don't think they were happy.
They weren't happy.
They weren't happy about it.
When we collected our trophies, someone threw a bread roll at me.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Hang on.
Triple win.
We won best rest.
Yeah.
We won.
Our team won the entire quiz.
Yeah.
Producer JP, he won the raffle.
It was a little raffle.
That was neat, wasn't it?
It wasn't little.
No, it was huge.
It was like a massive laundry basket filled with canned goods and stuff for the pantry.
So useful.
And how much?
You did your groceries yesterday.
How much did you spend on your weekly shop?
Like $37.
Oh, yeah.
That's good. That's good.
That's good.
You're going to be eating three beans in a can, though, for a while.
Yeah, but we've got the Veggio Midi.
We've got the Veggio Midi.
Oh, yeah.
So it's perfect.
Veggies love canned goods.
Yeah, she just straight up handed me the can of corned beef,
said that's yours.
Oh, wow.
You had a whole can of corned beef.
Yeah, dog.
Fantastic.
It was honestly.
That's your salt intake for the next dog. Fantastic. It was honestly...
That's your salt intake
for the next year?
Yeah.
It was a great night.
We love to show up
for the school
and we love to have
a fun night.
And we won.
And we won.
So suck it,
that other team.
Suck it.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
There is,
she's called
Josephine Halligren.
God, some people just get great names.
And some people get Hayley Jane.
Hayley Jane, yeah.
Sprout's great.
Hayley's fine.
Jane, you could have put more thought into that.
And this is with a Y, though.
It's been spiced up.
Spicey up.
It's spiced up.
Josephine Halligren, she's a single woman.
She's on the apps, right?
Yeah.
And she shared on TikTok her toxic trait.
She said, it's like her and she's looking all cute.
She's in the side, she's gorgeous. She says, my toxic
trait is that every time someone sends me a like
on Hinge, which is the dating app,
I look at their profile for two minutes
and then look at my own for the next
20 minutes to see what it's like from their point of view.
Now, I do
this all the time.
Especially,
I mean, and I hate to bring him
back up on the show,
but remember
when Jason Momoa
started following me
on Instagram,
which he still does,
I just checked,
thank you.
I remember being like,
oh my God,
excited.
And then I sat there
and I was like,
what's on my profile?
What did he say?
What's on my profile?
And so he went through
and was like,
cute, cute, cute, cute.
I only post cute.
Yeah.
Because some people do.
What do they call it?
Sloppy talk.
What's that?
When you just dump rubbish photos up.
What's it called?
Like they're keeping it real.
Yeah.
Like a photo dump.
Photo dump.
You know when people just put up unedited ugly photos
and they're just like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't that not called sloppy talk?
I think that's a different side of the social media.
Right.
Sorry. I must have heard that different side of the social media you're on, hon. Right, sorry.
I must have heard that somewhere.
But I do this.
Anytime I get a like from like a cutie patootie,
I'll be like, just go through it.
And I go, because I'm not on dating apps, obviously,
but I do it on my Instagram.
And I go through it and I'm like, yeah, she's looking good.
She's looking fun.
She's looking free.
But it's the same profile.
It's the same grid that it's been forever.
Yeah, I know, but you just need to make sure.
Right.
Especially when someone mega hot follows you.
You're like, that's not flattering.
We'll just get that off.
You know, we'll just take that one.
We'll just remove that one.
Yeah, that one's not great.
That one doesn't make a lot of sense out of context.
My arm's a bit janky in that one.
I'll just remove them and curate it.
Do you guys do this?
I do it all the time, and I definitely look.
And it sounds so stupid when you talk it out loud,
but I'm like, are there too many photos where I'm just by myself?
Do I look self-obsessed?
Is there a group photo?
Do I look fun?
Do I look like I care about work too much?
Do I not care about my work?
Or do you have one about the environment?
You should.
Yeah, you should.
You should be doing charity.
Get a photo of you Planting a tree somewhere
That would look good
I'll write that down
This was me for a while
Like all I posted
Was whenever I was on TV
So that my profile
Just looked like
Hey this week on HYBPA
Yeah we get it
This week on 7 Days
This week on every other show
That I'm on all the time
Because I'm such a
Hot commodity
So I was like
I need to start posting
More personal
Non-work related stuff.
I can't, no, it's pretty work.
Then there's just a photo of you looking
dusty in your house renovation. Yeah, exactly.
Do you want hot Jasmine Momoa to see that?
No.
No, that's not hot. Right, do you do
this, Karwin? Yeah, sometimes if I
haven't posted in a while and then I post,
I'm like, hmm, I wonder if people have gone to my
profile after seeing that
to like maybe unfollow,
fair enough.
Oh my God,
shut up,
you're gorgeous.
And they like look at it
so then I go back and look
and I'm like,
oh yeah,
oh yeah,
oh I remember that,
that was fun.
Yeah.
And sometimes then you get
deep into it
and sometimes I'll show Aaron
and be like,
look at this
because it's my best photo
but look at this
because he doesn't really
use Instagram.
Look at this one.
He's like, yeah, no, I've seen that photo.
Yeah, it's pretty.
Tell me I'm pretty.
Yeah, basically tell me I'm beautiful.
Tell me I'm beautiful.
Tell me I'm beautiful.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day to you by South Australia.
Oh, nice.
Now, in South Australia, under the State's Fisheries Management Act,
it is illegal to possess, sell or purchase any part of a great
white shark because they are protected and they are special.
I mean, if you can get a part of a great white shark, good on you.
Yeah.
I mean, how do you get a part of a great, like if it washes up, do you mean?
No, this, well, yes.
I mean, you can't go looking for it.
You can't kill a shark for their
teeth or their parts or whatever like that.
They're protected. You're not allowed to do it. And if you
are caught possessing
parts of a great white shark in
South Australia, you could face
a $100,000 fine or two years
in prison. Wow. It's one of those
prison sentences they'll never actually do.
But is it worth it? Is it worth it for that
cool seashell
shark tooth necklace you have?
Yeah, I know.
You can get fake ones.
Yeah.
You can get fake ones.
Well, it was worth it
for Chris Blows.
He's a surfer
and he lost his leg
because he was attacked
by a 5.5 metre long
great white shark.
See, I don't,
don't surf.
Five metres long.
Yeah.
18 foot great white shark struck him from behind. surf. Five metres long. Yeah. 18 foot great white shark.
Struck him from behind.
He's a surfer.
He was out surfing.
He said it shook me about a bit.
Is that all?
Played with me like a toy.
And it ended up pulling my leg off.
So he lost his whole entire leg from like the groin down.
Okay.
And that's just in a shark now.
Yeah.
The shark ate it. Wow. And that's just in a shark now. That's, yeah, it's, the shark ate it.
Wow.
Ate the thigh, the ankle.
How, what happens to like the leg bones?
Like, do they break down?
Yeah, it's a shark.
Have you seen their teeth?
This thing's like. But do they chew the bone?
The width of this.
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom,
all the way down the leg?
Or do they just like swallow chunks and then.
I don't know.
Yeah, do they spit it out?
Imagine passing a femur, a human femur.
Someone's going to need to answer that question for me.
9696, please just let me know the answer.
If a shark eats your leg, does it eat the bones?
Anyway, so two of his friends rescued him,
but it was too late.
The leg was gone.
And then the police were on the beach
and they were getting like emergency services
and they went to recover his surfboard from the water
and they found that a shark tooth was lodged
in it. Now following the
South Australian law. Did they send him to prison?
No, no, no.
They're like, I'm sorry, we are going to have
to arrest you. Now is that a shark tooth?
Are you in possession of a shark tooth, sir?
Following the South Australian law, they handed him to
the authorities, right? So this Chris guy
who's in a coma for 10 days,
heals up the stump of his leg and whatnot, and he's all right.
He lives.
Could have died.
And he's like, can I have the tooth?
So it was in the surfboard.
It was in the surfboard from him chomping on the surfboard.
Yeah.
Left a tooth in the board.
And they were like, no, these are the rules.
You can't have it.
And he was like, look, I would never hunt a shark,
but this shark ate my leg.
So I feel like... Please.
I'm entitled to a wee souvenir.
100%. And the
lawmakers were basically like, no, you can't have it.
This is the law. This is the law. And then a local
politician heard about this and was like, come
on. And he bent the rules and he got a redemption.
So
he got to keep the shark tooth
and he said, it's a good souvenir to show to my grandchildren one day.
So has he got it on a necklace?
No, it's in a case in his house.
Oh, wow.
And he takes it a lot.
He's a motivational speaker now about the power of resilience.
And he brings out the tooth.
He brings out the tooth.
Wow.
And says, this bloody shark ate my leg, and here I am living a great, happy life.
He surfs again.
He's amazing.
Oh, see, no, because then you just lose the other leg.
Yeah.
Unless he gets it.
Because he's got a prosthetic now, right?
He's got a, yeah, a prosthetic leg.
Well, that'll teach a shark if he tries to teach him
and then he tries chewing on the prosthetic leg.
That's metal, mate.
That's metal.
Good luck with that.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
So today's fact of the day is that in South Australia,
it is illegal to own any part of a great white shark
unless they took your leg and then you can get a redemption.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Play it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
I'm very excited for this impossible fauna.
Sorry, I thought I'd just sing a little song.
You are going to need to stall a little bit more.
Can I stall by saying this?
Yep.
I follow everyone on Love Island now on Instagram
and they're filming the reunion at the moment.
They're filming the reunion at the moment. They're filming the reunion at the moment.
Slow down.
They're filming the Love Island reunion as we speak.
I can see it on everyone's social media.
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow it's available in New Zealand on TVNZ+.
Consider yourself stalled.
This is my favourite part of the week when we do one of these.
I do love the impossible phone-in topic. It's because the calls that we get are just insane
because I think it's impossible that we'll even receive any.
Like that time we said, has anyone died?
And all these people called in.
Or that time we said, has anybody landed in a plane
that wasn't on a runway? And all these people called in. Or that time we said, has anybody landed in a plane that wasn't on a runway?
And all these people called in.
Today, though, I think this is hard.
This does not happen nowadays.
Yeah, I know.
But this one, oh, Georgia just walked in.
She's got such a tan.
Oh, my God.
Look at her all tan.
Go back.
Go back to Europe.
Go back to Europe.
She's all hot.
Stop toasting about Europe.
You've come home.
I've got a rash.
I've got a face rash and I'm white.
Okay, so just go.
I can't look at you.
Get out of my sight, please.
Get out of my sight.
Thank you, Georgia.
You can listen to her after our show if you want, but don't.
I never do.
No, but do.
Welcome home.
We're so happy.
Tanned.
Anyway, this is an amazing story that I actually saw on NZ Herald,
my chosen news source.
His name is Richard Beauvoir,
and he has spent his whole life believing that he was half French,
half Indian.
What a mix.
Can I just say it?
What a mix.
Yeah.
And then his daughter was really wanting to learn a little bit more
about her heritage.
She didn't know a lot about it.
She knew that she was French and Indian.
And she was looking at getting an Indian tattoo,
but she wanted to like, you know, do the right thing
and do some research about what would be appropriate for her to get.
So she said to her dad,
can you do a little bit of research into your ancestry?
So he got on the ancestry.com.
Yeah.
And, you know,
as we've all done,
he didn't have any French
or any Indian.
What?
He was Ukrainian,
Ashkenzy Jewish,
and Polish.
And was like,
this is a mistake,
you've sent me the wrong one.
So he sent off another test.
Oh my God,
how many,
how often do you record that happens at Ancestry.com headquarters? They're like, hello, a mistake. You've sent me the wrong one. So we sent off another test. Oh my God, how many,
how often do you reckon that happens at Ancestry.com headquarters?
They're like, hello, Ancestry.com.
And they're like, you've sent me the wrong results.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm actually French and Indian.
No, sorry, we haven't.
No, I'm going to send off another test.
You've got some questions to your parents now.
It came around at the same time, right?
And so everyone was like, what the hell is this?
Like, this is really bizarre.
Yeah.
Long story short, this man found out that he was switched at birth.
So the family he grew up in, that was Indian and French.
Had taken home the wrong baby.
Had taken home the wrong baby.
Not only that, like, the other guy was discovering this at the same baby. Not only that, the other guy was discovering this
at the same time.
So did he find the other guy?
They found each other.
They made contact.
They were 67 years old.
What?
And they made contact,
found each other.
Wouldn't you know though?
Because you look so much
like your parents, right?
I look so much like my parents.
If you didn't,
you'd be like,
what's going on here? Yeah. So the main guy, right? I look so much like my parents. If you didn't, you'd be like, what's going on here?
Yeah. So this,
the main guy, right,
he grew up, they lived
each other's lives. He grew up in quite a difficult
family, poor,
lots of,
you know, hardship. The other
guy had a happy, carefree upbringing
in this Ukrainian
Catholic family. Right.
Unreal.
That is wild.
Now they're together, right,
and they're trying to make the best out of it.
But, you know, the identity crisis you feel,
you think you're French and Indian.
You're not.
You're Ukrainian.
Well, lucky the daughter didn't get the tattoo.
Oh, my God.
She's got some big Hindi thing,
and you're like, oh, no, darling, you're not.
Anyway, it's a beautiful story,
and you can look it up on NZ Herald
if you want to read the whole thing.
This sparked my idea for the impossible phoner.
Were you switched at birth?
It just doesn't happen now.
Like, it doesn't happen.
I will accept because it's so impossible,
and as much as we want it to be impossible,
I want to hear some good stories.
Yeah, so maybe you know of this happening in New Zealand
like in the early days.
Could be your parents, your grandparents.
What do they do now? Do they tag a baby with
one of those shoplifting kind of tags
as soon as they come out, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like the snib, and you need that machine
to get it off the magnetic. Yeah, that's what they do.
And it's got their name on it. They put it through their ears
now. They've got two big tags as Aaron's
little babies.
And then if someone
takes the baby out of the hospital, it goes beep, beep, beep,
beep, beep, beep. Wrong baby.
Oh my God, sorry.
Yes. But I mean,
we may not get a single call because
it just doesn't happen these days.
But maybe you know of this happening to someone
back in the day.
Because things were a little bit looser. Like, if there
was a ward of babies, someone just puts, a nurse picks one up, puts it back in the wrong place.. Because things were a little bit looser. Like if there was a ward of babies,
someone just puts,
a nurse picks one up,
puts it back in the wrong place.
Yeah, or maybe you weren't born in New Zealand.
You live here now,
but you weren't born in New Zealand and like you were one of these
Ukrainian orphanage babies
and you got switched up.
Who knows?
That's what I want to know.
Do you, were you,
or someone you know
switched at birth?
Impossible phone.
Well, we've asked the question,
do you know of somebody
or were you swamped at birth?
It's the impossible phone-in topic.
I thought maybe this would be the day that we could
finally say it was in fact
impossible. It's not.
We've got some amazing messages
in. Some absolutely
amazing messages. Some that are like
not quite. Like someone
texted saying my aunties
were given
the wrong name.
Like the, you know, they come out, they're twins.
Right, yep. And the mum had gone, that's baby A and that's baby B. And then they
switched. So she got both the kids,
but they were actually named the wrong names.
That's why they write on them in Vivid now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're straight up tattoo them,
I think. They do. Lisa,
good morning.
Oh, hi, How are you?
Good.
Now, Lisa, your husband was swamped at birth.
Yes, he was.
So he was born in Kenya, but he's Indian.
And he was given to an African mother after he was born.
And my mother-in-law was given an African baby
and my mother-in-law was like,
this is clearly not my baby.
Like, he doesn't look like me.
And were the nurses just like same, same, different?
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I think they were quite blasé
and then when they went to kind of,
you know, I think she had to quite, you And then when they went to kind of, you know,
I think she had to quite, you know, plead with them,
be like, this is clearly not my son.
You know, look at me, look at him.
And then when they went to switch them back,
the African mother didn't want to give up my husband because, you know, fairer skin, maybe more, you know.
Oh, the beauty norms of the time, yeah.
Oh, you're good.
She said, no, I want the Indian one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, yeah, but they obviously got switched back.
But, yeah.
Wow.
Bit of a hoo-ha, apparently.
Wow.
Imagine, though, the questions if nobody had noticed.
Well, yeah, we often say, imagine what your life would be like.
I mean, he grew up in the UK.
They moved to the UK when he was three.
But, you know, how different would life be?
How you would explain that, eh?
Some Kenyan dude at, like, an Indian wedding.
Anyone's like, he's not from India, bro.
He is not Indian. Wow. Amazing
Lisa, thank you.
Narisha, good morning.
Morning. Now, you know of this
happening in New Zealand?
Yeah, my parents
played cricket with some parents
and then they found out that their
daughter, around the age of 10,
they were swapped at birth because the other mother's family did some investigations
because she tried to convince the hospital that a birthmark didn't match up
and the hospital didn't believe her.
This is Timaru, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was just reading about this.
And at 10 years old, they were saying that they should be able to choose.
Yeah, and then they ended up both living with one of the families
and then the other mother lost her daughter.
That's right.
What?
One of them went to the correct mum, quote unquote,
but the other person stayed as well.
So then she got a sister.
Yeah.
That's sad.
And because the other kid was like,
well, these are the parents that I know and this is the life I know.
What would you do, though?
Oh, my God.
Naresh, what would you do?
Like, if you found out that your mother wasn't your mother at that age,
I would stay with my family because they are your mother at that point.
Oh, I think it's quite contextual.
Yeah, it is.
If you're in this situation, it's hard to say.
I'd probably go to whatever family had a beach house and a spa pool.
Yeah. And overseas holiday during the school term. I'd probably go to whatever family had a beach house and a spa pool.
And overseas holiday during the school terms.
Oh, you guys go to Europe.
That one.
I want that one.
I want that one.
Narisha, thank you.
Hannah, this happened to your cousin.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah.
So she was switched at birth.
Did this happen in New Zealand?
Yeah, in New Zealand. So I'm guessing they were born, like,
they must have gone to, like, that one room in the hospital
where they'd take away from their mothers.
Yeah.
And to me, all babies look the same to me.
Yeah, they do.
They look terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I don't think it was until they were about seven years old
they did some DNA tests, and then, yeah,
I realised that they weren't with their correct parents.
And pretty sure there was, like, a big law case and stuff as well.
And, yeah, so they ended up staying with my auntie
for many, many years
and called her the mother.
So she stayed with
her not biological mother?
Yeah, so they both ended up living
together with my auntie.
Oh, wow. This isn't the
Timaru case? Yes, that is.
Oh, wow. Oh, it is. We case. Yes, that is. Oh, wow.
Oh, it is.
We've got an insider's perspective.
We've got an inside.
Wow.
That is so wild.
That is crazy.
Yeah.
So it must have been wild for your family.
Yeah, well, they're obviously my second cousins,
but, yeah, I didn't know about it until, like,
we were obviously, like, teenagers,
and I was like, that's actually really unreal.
Did they get some money
out of this?
Did they sue?
I'm not entirely sure.
I think so.
Yeah, I think they did.
I don't know how much,
obviously.
Oh my God.
Just one,
and it would have been
an innocent mistake
because babies,
you know,
they look very similar,
don't they?
White ones are like white ones.
Brown ones are like brown ones.
They're just all the same.
Amazing, Hannah.
Thank you.
Some messages in.
That's a crazy story.
I wasn't swapped at birth, but my mum had a C-section,
had to be under for it as my brother broke her back
giving birth to him seven years earlier.
You can break your mother's back as you come out?
See, why do people want kids?
And I hold that against that little shitty kid for ever.
Yeah, I'd be like, my back hurts.
Thank you. It's like, I'm hungry. Well little shitty kid for Eva. Yeah, I'd be like, my back hurts. Thank you.
It's like, I'm hungry.
Well, you broke my back.
She had four scans saying I was a boy.
One, um, oh yeah, she had four scans saying I was a boy.
One was the day before I was born, I was a boy.
Ended up being a girl and she kept telling them that I wasn't her baby and to take me back.
They've got the wrong one.
Wild stories.
My sister was switched.
My mother noticed straight away because this baby was a boy.
The other mother was happily
feeding my sister with no
knowledge of the switch. If you wanted a boy,
would you just let it go ahead?
Oh God, I really wanted a boy.
Yeah, this is the story
I read just before. The text that just came in.
Very sad. I was born a twin.
The other baby was never given to my mum
and she didn't get to see them. Was just told
that they had died at the birth. What?
Interestingly enough, my
birth records and early childhood medical records
don't exist. There's no record of anything, including
my birth. I still believe they're out there.
Wait, so someone stole a baby?
That's what they think. The mum
was told that the baby died.
What?
Because what?
Somebody wanted a baby. You could find that out.
If you did Ancestry.com and they also did it,
one day you'd be able to find that out.
You'd be a complete match.
You would, yeah.
Holy moly.
Wild.
Georgia Boots, swan back in from Europe.
Look, golden.
Look how golden you are.
I wore a skirt purposely to show off the tan legs, you know?
Yeah, I know, I know.
God. I'm wearing an ankle to show off the tan legs, you know? Yeah, I know, I know. God.
I'm wearing an ankle-length dress for that same reason.
Now, you got back yesterday.
Yeah.
But you're still posting photos from Europe.
Well, I'm so, like, I was just living the high life.
You see?
Just being present.
So now I'm just playing catch-up.
Because we haven't even got to Paris yet, I don't think, on the gram.
Oh, my God, no, you can't see.
We're only at Croatia.
Once you're home, you've got to stop posting.
Absolutely not. We're all sick of it. Oh, my at Croatia. Once you're home, you've got to stop posting. Absolutely not.
We're all sick of it.
Oh my God,
look, you're paid.
Yeah, also,
I haven't given
a good bikini pic
yet on there either.
Oh, good for what they want.
What was your favourite place?
Croatia.
It was epic.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
It's like,
in sale Croatia,
if you get the chance to do it,
it's unreal.
Why can't I'm at work?
Oh yeah,
but if...
Well, we could have switched places, you know?
Warren was very upset that nobody on Sail Croatia
was wearing life jackets.
Oh, actually, fun fact,
we didn't know where the life jackets were
until, like, the fourth day.
That's not fun at all.
That's what every parent wants to hear, eh,
when their kids are doing Sail Croatia.
Wow, what a great sales pitch for Sail Croatia.
But honestly,
that was the day
that also I was off the back,
me and Haim
both chundering
the whole time
for four and a half hours
on Sail.
Oh good, it is nice to hear
you had a couple of bad days.
Yes, there you go.
See ya, see ya later.
Actually, I'm going to
have to stop you there.
That's copyrighted.
Suzy Cato's a very good
friend of mine.
She's already sued me twice
So if you could maybe get her
To drop her litigious action
That would be great
Tell her I'll review her five stars
If she does the same for this podcast
And then she tells all her friends
And if you're listening
Maybe give it five stars as well
