I gave rugby a bit of a go. Rugby league. Well, it's rugby. It starts with rugby. No, it's not. It's two very different sports. Rugby. You gave it a go.

One's enjoyable to watch and one's not. Take that, union's rugby. It starts with rugby. No, it's not. It's two very different sports. Rugby. You gave it a go. One's enjoyable union. One's enjoyable to watch and one's not. Take that union. Wow. You've just had a hot take union. Well, I don't know which one I had a go at, but very soon I'll tell you what. I had a little bit of a go yesterday. You played rugby?

I had a bit of a go. Stay tuned. Okay. This is weird. Next on the show. Let's talk about how much money Mark Zuckerberg lost yesterday when Facebook went down. Was it more than $21,000? Yes.

It was. It'd be a lot. Because I remember the last time it went down, wasn't it like $7 billion or something? Well, I don't think it was quite that much. Where'd you get $21,000 from? That's how much we have to give away, Vaughn, with five on time. Oh, my God, he's good. He's good.

Make sure you're listening at 8 o'clock to win $21,000. He's good. Yep, it's good stuff. God, he's a good broadcaster. Radio. ZM. I hate it. Play.

ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Okay. So yesterday, Facebook went down. Meta went down. Yeah. So Instagram was down. Facebook was down. It was about this time it started coming back up.

Yeah, it was seven hours and 11 minutes. Wow. Yes, it would have been overnight, I guess. So many people thought they'd been logged out and they'd been hacked. I know. Did you see Anonymous was like, you were hacked. It was us. And it's like, no, no.

It was just an error. But they haven't really said, they've been a bit cagey about what happened, right? Of course they've been cagey. You would too if you made as much money as Meta makes. Yeah. So I've got some stats here and I've tried to work out how much money they lost in that seven hours and 11 minutes. Yeah. and I've tried to work out how much money they lost in that seven hours and 11 minutes. So they earn roundabout, based on previous periods, $38.7 billion a quarter.

Right. Three months. So over the period of 92 days, so that quarter, they earn around $420 million a day. So if you go that down to hours, it's about $17.5 million an hour in ad revenue that Meta makes, which results in roughly $292,119 a minute. And this is American dollars. So seven hours and 11 minutes is 431 minutes. $2,119 a minute. And this is American dollars. So,

seven hours and 11 minutes is 431 minutes. Yeah. So she's really showing her working here. Times that. I'm showing my working so I can get the marks. You are absolutely on,

you know, on path to get top marks for this maths answer. Yeah. Thank you. This is a private school girl education coming through. Finally,

you're being able to use maths. Yeah. In the real world. So, during that seven hours and 11 minutes, Meta would have lost $125,900,000. Just like that? Just from us being like, I can't see my rails on the toilet.

$125 million, $126 million in that 7 hours and you think that you're just like when a company's website crashes it's always like era 404 come back but that's so much money and they haven't said what caused it no

there's no like you know straight answers directly from Meta. Interesting. So while we're not clicking, commenting and liking, that's how much money. Now, Ladbible have reached out to Meta for comment. Trust Ladbible to be right in there. They have been banging down the door.

The last bastion of journalists. The last journalist left. Yeah. Yeah. No. We're screwed. It will be. Unilad, Ladbible, those Facebook pages, they're going to be the last ones standing.

Yeah. You watch. Mark my words. It's so wild that these Facebook outages have Wikipedia pages. Like, we're so impacted by them. Really, to mark the big occasion. Like remember the great Facebook outage of 2021? You're like, yeah, I remember it, man.

It's got its own page and I read about it all the time. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Someone just texted in saying, Fletch and Vaughn, I grew up listening to you on the radio and heard your voices and I always imagined you looked like some of the members of Simple Plan. Pale skin, dyed black hair, spiked up with gel. I can't get it out of my head even to this day when I listen.

Yeah, right. Even though now I know what you look like. Why of all, like they said we've been listening for years, why on Thursday the 7th of March at 6.10am? Were they like, I'm going to let them know. No, no, but it's 6.12. Actually, you're both right. Stick with the details.

Yeah. Which I like. 6.12. Why then? Yeah, I don't know. I often think that when someone will say something or do something. Out of the blue. Why right then?

What made them that very thing? I think they just got in their car this morning and thought, I'm going to let them know. I've been listening to these dudes for a long time and any time I hear them I still think they look like Simple Plan. I don't even know what Simple Plan look like. That guy from Simple Plan does not look healthy at the moment. Dude, I saw him the other day.

Are you thinking of Derek Wibley from Sum 41? Oh yeah, no, he doesn't look well. No, the Simple Plan lead singer doesn't look great either. Oh really? Anyway, look. I think years of... Look, we all don't look as good as we did in 2006. No. Life on the road, mate. It's tough. Absolutely not.

Yeah. This is what... I mean, I get it, listener. I sort of see what he thinks you looked like. Yeah. I never looked like that. I mean, there certainly was spiky hair when I had hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Do you frost the tips? No, I never frost the tips. And I'm seeing a lot of people with those necklaces, one of those shell

necklaces. You need those little bead ones. Because you'll be teased. They look like a plug chain. You need those, big ball plug chain. Well, thanks for letting us know. If anybody else has anything they want to get off the chest after nearly 20 years of broadcasting,

now's the time. Thanks for continuing to listen even since I've arrived. You know, you didn't go, oh, yuck. Can't stand her. You know? They might have. Don't make this about yourself. That was just about us.

It's sort of, I'm so glad that you're also a fan of me because why would you keep listening to Fletcher Vaughan? Can you say what she did there? So obviously I've sort of anchored you back into the show, which is great. It's great. And thank you so much for your compliments. Yesterday, I flustered now.

That's such a nice way to start the day of compliments like that, the three of us, for the three of us. I went for a walk yesterday. I'm on a walking bus. They believe it was the nasally voice. And so if we were in a band, we would have sounded like Simple Plan. Hey, Dad, look at me. That was one of their songs.

Stand back and talk to me. Anyway. Where are you? Where are you? Sorry, go. I went for a walk yesterday and I live near a massive rugby club, like a big... One of the biggest. Okay. It's so good. It's a very old rugby club, like a big... One of the biggest.

Okay. It's so good. It's a very old rugby club. Got mowed yesterday, Vaughan. Yeah. Oh, my God. Do you know, Aaron, I said to Aaron, look at that. They've just mowed the bloody rugby club.

Did they do lines? Did they do, like, straight lines? Circles, then lines. Oh, yeah. And they sort of divide the pitch because there's, like, you could play, like, probably four games of rugby on that thing. It's huge. Okay.

And I said to Aaron, Aaron, look at that. I've just mowed the lawns. And he goes, oh, that's my dream job, is to be the groundskeeper for the Cue Me Rugby Club. I'm going to be a school groundskeeper when this all wraps up. Yeah, nice. All the kids will tease you. I'm going to run over their school bags with a mower.

They won't. They won't mess with me. I'll be crazy. You know how groundskeepers are crazy. It'll be cool. cool Anyway we were walking there And we always I've got our route That we sort of

Leave our house And walk down there And go down here And then there's a street And you can either go Like continue around the roads Or you can cut through The rugby club

Okay Now we always Go to the rugby club And we have a swing Yeah And I don't mean swing as in Like we meet people At those toilets

So I hear that happens But we What people meet At the toilets Yeah there's like Toilets there And I think it might be a hot spot. Oh my God, still? With the apps and everything. Some people are still going old school.

Well, it's quite a nice area. Right. And I think it's a classy toilet and they're done up quite nicely. Right. No, we don't swing that way. There's a playground next to it. Right. And there's some swings there So as grown adults you go on the swings

Yeah and you know what A father and this kid turned up And we were the only ones on the playground We were swinging And then we stopped and started walking And then she was like She was waiting for us I felt so terrible I didn't realise

But you have just as much right to go on those swings. It doesn't say children only. Yeah, that kid's not paying rates. I bought that swing. Yeah. I bought that. Not you, little twerp. Anyway, we're walking through the rugby club and then we see those big

machines. A scrum machine. And I said to Aaron, what's that? And he said, oh, you use it, because Aaron used to play rugby, you use it to practice doing a scrum. And he said, have a go and see if you can move it. So I was like, how do I do it?

And I got my shoulders into the pads, I started ramming this thing. It didn't budge at all. Oh yeah, well you're just one person, you need a whole forward pad. I sort of thought though I've got a good set of thighs on me Yeah

I sort of got in there And I was really hopeful That I had a Right Future in rugby When you say you played rugby yesterday I gave it a go You just went in the scrum machine

And I went Oh god that's heavy Yeah And found out that rugby wasn't for me But You didn't even do the hard bits of rugby Like tackling and getting smashed That was me. You didn't even do the hard bits of rugby, like tackling and getting smashed. It was hard.

The machine didn't even move. It was very heavy. When you said you didn't do the hard bits, I thought you were going to say you didn't do the hucker. And you didn't do the hucker. You always go to a hucker before. You don't know. You don't know that I didn't do a hucker before I tried.

Well, I don't. I thought that would have been fine. You did the hucker, then hit the scrum machine. This is how we do it. We go for a walk. We get to the rugby club. We do a hucker. We practice our scrums. We go for a swing and we get to the rugby club. We do a hucker. We practice our scrums.

We go for a swing and we go home. It's a beautiful way to get some exercise in. Were there weights on the scrum machine? No. There was nothing on it? No, it was just like the big metal cage on one end. Yeah, but sometimes on the other end there's like barrels. No, no, no.

Not like plates or anything. Yeah, weights or barrels. No, just the thing and I couldn't even move it. Wasn't it concreted in or anything? No, no. It was sitting on the grass. Did Aaron, like, play lock and get up behind you? No, he just watched.

No, he didn't help, but he just watched. He's got a bad back. He shouldn't be doing that. No, he can't be doing that. What about the kid on the swing? Get that kid in there. That kid could have been in a down-low powerhouse. She might have been, yeah.

She was very small waiting for those swings. Well, you'd want her as hooker then, I suppose. Sure, yeah. You'd probably want her as hooker then, I suppose. Sure, yeah. I'd probably want her as hooker. Yeah. And then Aaron would probably be a lock. Probably be a lock. Smith.

And I'd be on the winged. You'd be front row. I think you're a winged D. Goal attack. I don't think you're meant for rugby, to be honest. I'll be goal attack. Play it. CDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little poe. Silly little poe. Play it. Today's Silly Little Pole, when you're alone in a an Uber, not a Uber, an Uber, when you're alone in an Uber, where do you sit? Front seat or back seat? Back seat, always. We'll get into whereabouts in the back you're going to sit. I sit in the back behind the passenger's seat so that I'm diagonally across from the driver.

It's got eyes on the driver. Yeah, eyes on the driver. See their name, I can see their card, their identification card. Also, they've got their seat back. You can put the seat forward. That's the other thing, if they're taller, you're not going to get as much leg room.

Yeah, if you're behind no one, you can be like, can you move it forward and get leggy? 8% of people sit in the front seat% of people sit in the front seat. 92% sit in the back. If we were doing this, and we're probably going to hear from people, maybe

if you were doing this overseas, like Central and South America, I remember they are hard in the front seat. The front seat, the passenger seat is always pushed back. Do they have plastic screens? No. Safety screens? But I think it's a safety thing. They don't like people in the back seat.

Behind them? Behind them. Maybe it's like a safety attack thing. Because I suppose you could get attacked from the front, but you might have an idea that it's coming, right? Yeah. You could slam on the brakes and then they're like... Kick them out.

Yeah. Whereas from behind it would be, they might catch you off guard. Yeah. It's hard to keep them off. Or when you're just in the front. I can understand with a taxi, because they might be carrying money. Yeah. But, like, an Uber doesn't have cash.

No. It's all on the app. Yeah, I don't know. Weird. But, yeah, overseas, definitely a thing. You sit in the front seat. Oh, it's so awkward. Or on the bloody app.

Andrew Redders says, I sit in the front because I'm a sociable dude and they like to chat. I've got 100% rating on Uber. Plus I'm English, they love the accent say no more. Even if I was an Uber driver, I'd rather they were in the back I chat in the back because then you get your own space and you can glance in the rear view mirror to have a little chat Ali says back seat unless I'm

hammered and then I'll absolutely try and get in the front for a chat Also if you're hammered, the front seat is just better for not feeling sick. True. True. Less queasy. Yeah. Front, up front.

You get to control the air. Yeah. The cold air on the face. You can see more. You're not going to get a bit car sick. Melanie says, I get such bad car sickness if I sit in the back. Yeah, true. Especially if it's on the winding Wellington Street, so I sit up the front.

That's just somebody that always wants a front seat with their friends. I know. This is Vaughn every time. I need the front seat because I get crazy. I get car sick. Do you? And I'm tall, so I need the front seat. He goes in the back.

Yeah. Yeah. Jell said, I sat in the front seat one time. It felt so very weird. Abby sits up the front. She said, oh my God, I can't believe I'm the minority. Although when I got in an Uber by myself in Melbourne and I sat in the front I don't think the driver appreciated it at all.

No, because it's just not the done thing down under. It's not what we do. I'm just a small down girl. I guess they weren't used to it. Kanga says, I changed from front to back during COVID when the app said to and I haven't changed back during COVID when the app said to and I haven't changed back

to sitting in the front okay it's interesting always back left eyes on them the maps and the air con temperature yes

that's Kristen I like to see the maps too are you sticking to the map or you think you know better than the map you're gonna go better than the map you're gonna outdo the map Dan says

back seat alone but if there's more than one I'll probably call shotgun. Yeah, I sit up front if it's a full thing. Both of you do that, actually. If it's a full Uber, I'll take the front seat. Yeah. Aaron does, obviously, as well.

Yeah. Yeah. A lot of big men in my life. You've got to have a chat up there. Yeah, you're stuck with the combo. You've got to distract them because the people in the back might be getting a bit rowdy or silly or, you know, a little bit

I don't think I'm going to have to pull over soon. We got an old school taxi the other day in Christchurch. That was weird, eh? It was. At the end,

we sort of got out and had to pay. Did you hail it? Taxi! Well, we tried to get an Uber and they were surging us from Christchurch Airport. We were like,

$75 to the city? You're dreaming. And so we got a taxi and paidurch Airport. We were like, $75 to the city? You're dreaming. And so we got a taxi and paid $71. So suck it, Uber. Suck it. Suck it, Uber. That's a saving of $4, baby. Well worth it.

That's the little poll. That's every single opinion anyone's got on the topic. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. A doctor Hello doctor God I feel like some Austin Powers That's a side thought Dr Jason Singh Has weighed in on the

The debate of when is the best time to shower Morning or night Anytime I mean just have one Anytime Would it be a general thing? After a year, last year, of not really showering that much.

Morning or night? I shower predominantly at night. Same. End of the day. Because we get up so early. Why do you think you're better than us? You're so dry. You must be getting a little musty. Well, you do work harder, I will say, during the day.

You do physical things. Oh, yeah. But if I go to the gym, I shower then as well. So sometimes three times a day. Wait, so if you go to the gym and then shower afterwards, you'll shower again before bed? Yeah, because then I'll get home and I'll do stuff because then I need to shower again.

Even if I went to the gym at lunchtime and showered, I'd still shower before bed. I often don't. I won't. If I go to the gym in the afternoon and then I shower afterwards, though often I like to sit around and play fast and loose with the yeast infection

by just sitting in my sweaty, you know, just sitting in my sweaty gym gears all afternoon. She's our thrush queen. We stan a thrush queen.... She's our thrush queen. We stan a thrush queen. As they stan our thrush queen. Hey, look, I made it through summer. I'm pleased. Did you?

Hey, hey, hey. It's autumn now. It's autumn now. You did make it through summer. She's jinxed herself. It's still going to be warm for another month. Autumn's mushroom season. Yeah.

True. You know, early autumn's warm and wet. That's how the mushrooms grow. Yeah, but I think if you're starting to get shrooms down there, you definitely need to get a cream. Oh, no, no, no. I'm just saying fungal, fungal. Oh, yeah, right.

Okay. Cream for fungal. Anyway, if I shower in the afternoon, I won't shower again. Okay. That's just me. So he chimed in and he said there's lots of pros and cons to both, right? But he thinks that there's more for one of them. So he says if you shower at night, overnight, no, sorry,

if you shower in the morning, overnight your body like accumulates germs and whatnot, you sweat, can breed bacterias, fungus like we just said, shedding skin cells, your body's renewing itself as you sleep. So in the morning when you shower, you kind of wash that all off and you bring your skin microbiome back to a more hygienic baseline to start the day. Right? So you're thinking.

Oh, knowing that, now that I don't shower in the morning, it's manky, isn't it? Yeah, you're carrying around the night's. But I just showered before I went to bed and I've done nothing but sleep. I know, but in that sleep, your body is actually doing quite a lot. Yeah, and you just smell a little... What?

Not you specifically, but I find it when you wake up in the morning, there's just a... A tan. You haven't eaten anything since you brushed your teeth either, but your breath is macky. Yeah. No, but that's because your mouth's been closed the whole time. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

Your armpits have been like... And you're covered in a blanket. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I have had a couple of early morning showers this week and it is nice. It just wakes you up. Sometimes you fall asleep in there. That's quite cool. Yeah, I know.

Okay, so then you're thinking, okay, he's going team morning. Then he says with night time showers, however, if you had to weigh them against each other, there's three benefits. So one being releasing melatonin before you sleep. So you're not only going to clean your body, but you're going to lure yourself into a beautiful sleep afterwards.

With that hot water. Yeah, pills for that. Yeah, it also helps regulate your temperature, which is great for sleeping. So sleep, that's good. Preparing your body for a good night's sleep. Nothing to do with cleanliness. Second one is that you're washing away the day's grime. So again, you're like,

you could be really dirty from the day, really sweaty, you've been busy all day, so you've still got to clean yourself. That's the second point. And third time he says overall, night time showers have more benefits. Oh, hang on. He said three things going for it.

And then he lists, oh no, and lastly, sorry, showering at night, a better way to hydrate your skin. So if you've got sensitive skin or dry skin, as I do. So he's team night or team morning? Overall, night time has more benefits going for it.

Whereas, and you're both team both, Vaughan, you're getting all the benefits. All the benefits, baby. Yeah. Except maybe dry skin. You're drying yourself out. But people are chiming in being like, if you had to choose,

like I'm not going to be dirty. Yeah, 100%. People that don't shower before bed, don't get that. They're the people that don't change their sheets for like two months. Because my kids are into the skincare routine as I believe everybody now under 15 is, into skincare regimes.

They said to me yesterday, what do you wash your face with? And I said, water out of the shower. Yeah. And they were like, oh, you should use something. And I said, I used to use foot scrub. And they were like, even my children were appalled at that. Remember when I used to use Sinai's apricot foot scrub? My dude, my queen, nothing cleans like it. I love it. Remember when I used to use Sinai's apricot foot scrub? My dude.

My queen. Nothing cleans like it. I love it. I'd do it again. I know I shouldn't, but I just love it. That was a dream exfoliant. You could clean a cast iron pan with that scrub.

And that is how my face has been scrubbed to many people. Like a hard, rusted cast iron pan. Grandma's old cast iron. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

He charges less. He'll do it for free if you're super hot. Yeah, right. I feel like Jim would be quite wiry. I imagine him being a wiry old fella. Right. Yeah, you're saying you need a bit more cushion for the pushing. Oh, I love cuddling a cush. Right. Yeah, you're saying you need a bit more cushion for the pushing. Oh, I love cuddling a cush.

Yeah. Yeah. You can probably specify what you want. Order what you want. It's like you can tell them how short you want your lawns. A bit more of a tum. Yeah. Sure.

A tummy Jim. Yeah. More of a jum than a Jim. Jum. A tummy jum. That is today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

So a couple went scuba diving in Great Barrier Reef. Vaughn and I have done that haven't we? I swam inside a turtle. Yes beautiful. It was the most magical You swam inside of a turtle? Beside a turtle. It was a giant turtle. It was a giant turtle. How would you

even get inside a giant turtle? You'd have to pop his head in and be like get in there you bastard and then you get in there with him. It would need to be a giant biblical turtle How would you even get inside a giant turtle? You'd have to pop his head in and be like, get in there you bastard and then you get in there with him. It would need to be a giant biblical turtle. Like Jonah and the whale, Vaughn and the turtle. I think you've found a kid's book to write. Vaughn and the giant turtle. He hops in the hole with

him. The turtle would need to be as big as and here comes a very niche nerdy reference the turtle that has the elephants on the back that has the disc world on the top from the Terry Pratchett books. I do not get that reference. I'm out. I'm out. Jared gets it.

He's looking around. Yeah, he's looking around for the nerds. You've never heard of the Terry Pratchett books? I know the Terry Pratchett books. The nerd lights going off. Discworld was a flat world that was set on four elephants that were set on a giant turtle making its way through space. All right, Flat Earther, calm down. Oh, Flat was it? Yeah, of course it was.

Yeah, big fan of the Flat Earther. I'm sorry you're not as well read as I am. Yeah, wow. Anyway, so they were in the Great Barrier Reef going for a scuba dive, jumped off the boat and... Did they do the backwards jump of the boat? Because that kind of freaks me out. Well, he didn't and this is what happened.

You flop backwards. You're supposed to flop backwards so that your gear kind of stays in place. He dove forward, dove in, and the mask came off. Oh, idiot. Right? Yeah, that's why you go backwards. That's why you go backwards. And also, if you put your flippers first, you're basically like. You'll flop onto your face.

Yeah. So he does this. He does it. He enters wrong, and then his scuba mask falls off. So he does this. He does it. He enters wrong and then his scuba mask falls off. So he's like, ah! And he like goes,

ah! And dives down to try to get the mask before it hits the bottom. And he's got his phone on a lanyard. You know, it would be waterproofed,

I guess. Yeah. And he gets his mask but the phone comes off and he loses the phone. And he's like, ah! Bugger.

Can't find it. Literally disappeared into darkness. Because how deep is the Great Barrier Reef? Well, he said he couldn't see past his nose. Like, he couldn't see the bottom. It's quite dark, hey? Like, it's because it's not. No, it varies.

There was a part where the boat parked, as I remember. There was a part where the boat parked. And it was very, you could dive down and, like, be right beside the coral and the bottom. And then there was really deep parts and really shallow parts. 35 metres on average.

Right. Yeah. It would fluctuate, wouldn't it? But then it dropped, the continental shelf drops to depths of more than 2,000 metres.

So then you got, that would be my worst nightmare to be scuba diving and go over a bit of coral and then it's just black, pitch black. I don't get diving, eh?

I don't want to ever be diving. Do you see those pools where they do testing for deep diving? Yeah. And they're like... That's fine because you know that that's a pool. It's the unknown of what's down there. Imagine if you looked over into

that blackness of when you're diving and then you just see a little pale light. It's actually making me feel really spangler fish. Imagine if you looked over into that blackness of when you're diving and then you just see a little pale light. It's actually making me feel really anglerfish. And that's the Belize dark hole, the big blue hole in Belize. Is that where they do the... I think so, yeah. It's beautiful. Free dives.

Yuck. Anyway, so he was like, in the unlikely hopes that it will ever get recovered, he put a lost thing on it and a screen that had his contact details on it. Right. Went had his contact details on it. Went about his life. A week later, he gets a phone call from a stranger being like, I found your phone.

I found your phone. Found your phone, mate. I was on a woman called Carla was on a dive. Yeah. Her first dive since getting a scuba license, and she spotted it. So she was scuba-ing. It was 15 metres below the surface. She said we could barely see it because it was all covered in sand,

but she saw this little bit. She was like, that doesn't look like it belongs in Barrier Reef. Picked it up, saw the thing, and it had a thing, lost iPhone. I lost the phone snorkelling. I found, please call this person. Thanks, Alex and Sharon. And it was still going. It was still going.

Battery life, okay. Battery life was still going. Phone still worked after sitting underwater for a week. It's wild. Yeah, I know. So I thought we could get some calls of what your phone miraculously survived. You know, people drop them out of bloody great heights. Yeah.

I've literally dropped a phone out of my pocket onto the concrete floor below. Like, what's that, a foot and a half? Shattered. It shattered. Oh, I dropped an iPhone from a couch onto carpet and it shattered once. And I was like, what are you up to? This guy loses a phone in the Great Barrier Reef and it works, like, a week later at 15 metres underwater.

The only thing my phone has survived, because I've dropped mine into the ocean before, taking a photo when I was on a boat and then I'm like, oh, bye. What about the Boeing Max plug that ripped open? That guy lost his phone and they found it and it was working. Do you remember the start of the year when that happened? They found

the iPhone and it was working. I dropped my phone in a toilet in the plane and I picked it up. Wait, but the flap didn't go flap didn't go. Flap didn't go. Oh, lucky. I know. Because I was like,

you're not getting that back. As helpful and as lovely as the air stewards are, they're not going to fix that. No. Would you pick up a phone out of a portaloo or a long drop if it was in? Could I reach it? You could reach it, but it's in a lot of bad stuff.

Yeah, you would. You'd try to get a device to of bad stuff. Yeah, you would. You'd try to get a device to sort of... I know, I know. Let it go. I know. Insurance job? Yeah, I know, but if it's right there and within reach. Oh, but it's got...

Okay, yeah. We're asking you what your phone survived because scuba diver had their phone returned from under the damn sea. A Great Barrier Reef. Yeah. And was there a week too? It was there for a full week underwater.

But so it was in a waterproof bag, so he was obviously going to take it snorkelling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was around his neck in a lanyard, but when he was trying to get his mask, the whole lanyard came apart and then he lost that. Bradley, you have a miraculous tale of survival. This was an iPad.

Yeah, yeah. Bradley you have a miraculous tale of survival this was an iPad yeah yeah so I had the yeah an iPad and I was sitting I was at a hotel and you know those like trolleys you put your luggage on yeah yeah I put my put the luggage on there and then set the iPad on top

I was like walking around with it and then I walked into the elevator. You know how it's like a bit bumpy when you go in, like from the get, the elevator, from the floor? Well, I like rattled off through the get in the elevator. Oh, like down the shop. I always look down the elevator get, and I'm like, well, I'd like to have a look down there,

because I just think over time some stuff gets down. Yeah. But what are the chances of the gaps only probably just a little bit bigger than an iPad, even with a case? Yeah, yeah. It had a life-proof case on it. So I went down to the reception and I was like, hey, my iPad's gone through the elevator.

So he had to, like, get some maintenance by, like, climbing under the elevator. I'm not going under there. Yeah, and then he actually found it. It wasn't broken, but it was just bent and then still works like normal. And it was 22 metres, I remember. Change! So that's like quite a few flaws, isn't it?

Quite a few stories. That's insane. Wow. But just the way it dropped down, like the chances of that happening would be like winning a lotto, right? Like proof case. You should write to the case company and be like, Hey, how about this story?

How about this? Yeah, get yourself a new iPad. Yeah. Bradley, thanks for your call. Amy's called it through. Amy, what was your iPhone's miraculous story of survival? I had just, when it had just come out, the iPhone 13. And I've got a few toddlers.

And one of them decided to put it down. Sorry. A few toddlers? Are you collecting them? Are they all yours? How many toddlers you got? I've got a four-year-old, a three-year-old

and a one-year-old. Oh, wow. Jesus. Why are you doing that? Jesus. That sounds full-on, Amy. It is busy. Busy girl.

Yeah. Hence why I didn't notice. One of them put it down on the driveway and when my partner got home from work, he, you know, parked where he normally would and it happened to be driveway. And when my partner got home from work, he parked where he normally would

and it happened to be right on top of my iPhone. But when he reversed off it, it was absolutely fine. There wasn't a scratch or nothing and I hadn't even had a chance to get a case or anything yet, so I was really surprised. Oh, my God. So was there obviously a few scratches on it, but not even major damage?

No, hardly even a scratch. Oh, wow. Jeez, you haven't booged the 13 with a wheel, and it was sweet. But yet I can drop a phone out of my pocket and the screen breaks. How does this work? Yeah. There's no logic with it. There's no logic.

Yeah. Amy, thanks for your call. Rachel, your friend dropped a phone. Yeah, she did. She dropped it in her portal at a festival a couple of years ago oh my god okay this is going to answer the question that we raised just moments ago did she get it out she did well she didn't a friend of ours um took one for the team and fished it out for her she was going to yeah she um was really like in the moment

she was like gonna raw dog it and put her arm straight in and grab it but luckily our other She was really like in the moment, she was like going to raw dog it and put her arm straight in and grab it. But luckily our other friend was like, hold on, no, no, no. So go out, find like a rubbish bag or something to put her arm in and then, yeah. Oh yeah, that's better. And then just clean the phone. That's good thinking. Did it have the blue liquid in there? Were there lots of wheeze and poos?

Yeah. Like it was at the end of the night. Oh, Rachel. in there? Were there lots of wheeze and poos? Yeah. It was at the end of the night. Rachel! I would have been like, insurance, I need a new phone. You don't want to be at a festival without a phone trying to get home without a phone. It's a nightmare. I'd grab it.

It was like a one week old new iPhone. She wasn't prepared to quite give it up. So did she run it under the tap and it worked fine? Yeah, I think we got home and she put a whole bunch of disinfectant wipes all over it and stuff. It was fine. It's not wrong, though. I feel like its soul has changed.

Do you know what I mean? It's not going to be the same phone going forward. It's forever changed. It is. Rachel, thank you. Some messages in. I dropped my phone out the window of my car while driving 100 kilometres an hour trying to take a photo down in South Island. It landed in the middle of the road face down.

Nothing wrong with it. No cracks. Two weeks later, dropped out of my pocket onto carpet, shattered the screen. Yeah. What? Yeah. Pre-weakened. Yeah.

I feel like it was pre-weakened. Yeah. I feel like it was pre-weakened. Yeah. I had a monkey. Someone driving down the road. That's naughty. Driving down the road. They don't know if that was their car. They don't say if they were driving.

Oh, they could have been the passenger. They could have been the passenger. Yes, yes. I had a monkey steal my phone in Malaysia. It took it off into the mangroves and I chased after the monkey. It climbed a tree and I watched as it took the phone out of the case, threw the case down, played with my phone for a bit,

then dropped the phone as well. The phone survived with only a few monkey teeth marks in it. Great story. Great story. See, that'd be quite cool. I'd just keep the phone

and be like, what's wrong with your phone? Yeah. Monkey bit it. I was on our boat. Ooh! Must be nice. When it gets better.

Yeah. Afterward, had a big session At the Man O' War vineyard On Waiheke Oh lovely darling Darling Good morning to our rich listeners Good morning

We'd love to have you here darling Also we would love to join the boat For the Oh my god We'd love to go to the vineyard This one weekend Wouldn't we darling Isn't that a good idea

You can only get to Yeah darling By a boat or a really like Long hectic gravel road drive I've never been darling But I'd love to go I've never been either darling Darling I'd love to I drive. I've never been, darling, but I'd love to go. I've never been either, darling. I've seen people arrive

in a helicopter, darling. Oh, darling, I'd love to go. I'd call the chopper. Now that the chopper's on offer, I don't know if I want to go on the boat. The boat would take ages and I'm pretty...

Why don't we go over on the chopper, home on the boat? I was thinking the other way around. Okay, fine. Fine with me, darling. Over on the boat,

home on the chopper. I was transporting people to shore. So this tells me there's a big boat and a little boat that does the little runs to shore. So this tells me there's a big boat and a little boat that does the little runs to shore.

Oh yeah, okay. Must be nice. I was transporting people to shore and I heard a plop. And I asked whose phone dropped into the water

and the next minute the music on the boat stopped and I was like, the music on the boat? This boat's got Bluetooth speakers? And I knew it was mine. Oh no.

I left it in the water overnight and came back to the boat in the morning. We've had an overnight excursion on the boat, darling. We had to get to the vineyard for the booking. Dolly, do we have a place on the island? Do we have a home? No, by the sounds of it, we're sleeping on the boat.

I sleep on the boat. And a mate said I should dive down and get it. I said, if you want. Five metres down, he grabbed and he passes it to me out of the water. The screen lights up and the music starts playing. Fourteen hours in the salt water. Shut up! And immediately reconnected to the Bluetooth speaker instead of playing the music where we left it.

Amazing. Shut up. That is so good. That's a great story. I like that, darling. I just like the person who messaged in. I just got a good feeling about them that we could be friends. What, because they have a boat and they're going to be new? No, just because they seem like a lovely person. Yeah, okay.

There's nothing about this. Darling. They seem like a lovely person, darling. They seem like a lovely person, darling. I ran over my phone with a 14-ton digger on the grass. Perfect. That's gone. It's gone.

It worked. No, it's just... Just pushed it into the grass. Like it smudged it in. Yeah. I ran over an S23 with my digger, got the boss to wring it and found it in the mud

with a wee crack on the screen on a Friday. So it was a beautiful start to the weekend. That's all right. Literally a week ago, my iPhone flew off the roof of my car at 100 miles an hour. You left it there. You make it sound like that phone climbed on the roof and jumped. You left it there.

And it survived. You make it sound like that phone climbed on the roof and jumped. Yeah, yeah. You left it there. And it survived. Wow. Yeah. So many things surviving. I love this. When I was 13, I'm now 30, I had a flip phone that went through the wash and all it needed was a new battery. Remember how you used to get new batteries and slide them on and off?

Completely fine again. Found an iPhone on a mountain. It had been there for months. Apparently fell at the start of winter. Snow and rain and it had all been there. It was still sitting charger port up. So took it home, tried it out, charged it and managed to return

it to the owner through the power of social media. Oh my gosh. Well they would have had a new phone by then. Yeah, I'd say so. Listen to this, listen to this, listen to this. Guys, what the fuck am I? Listen to this. Cow vet here. My phone survived being dropped into the stomach of a cow while taking a photo during an abdominal surgery. Abdominal.

Abominable surgery. That's what they call it. Abominable. A fistula. A fistula in the side. Did they have a window? Some cows have fistulas. They have windows.

Yeah. You can take them off and look into the cow's stomach. You know like when you're on a tiny boat and you open the round window? Yeah. Oh, my God. Speaking of tiny boats, darling, we simply must get a hold of that list. I would love to go as Man O' War. I'd love to go, darling.

Wouldn't we be so lucky? Play Zed-In's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play Zed-In. Well, the first of its kind, the fancy, fan-dangled new speed camera. Fan-dangled? The Halo speed camera is in the news because it's been installed. This is on State Highway 1. It's in Northland between Kawakawa.

Is that where the fancy toilets are? On the Thwaffen. On the Thwaffen. Thwaffen, Thwaffen toilet. That's so cool. So it's between Kawakawa and Motiwa. A lot of bloody Motiwa networks. Yeah, flat and a lot of speeding along there.

So that's why the camera has gone in there. There always has been speed cameras. I think so. Up to Northland along State Highway 1. There's been a sprinkle. There are currently 150 speed cameras in New Zealand and by 2030 there are going to be 800.

The fines are going to be dished out now by Waka Kotahi. They're taking over the speed cameras and they're getting these new ones. That's confusing to me. Oh, sorry, the New Zealand Transport Agency. I'm just a simple white man. I know, I know.

I was driving my car yesterday and I passed my car and I saw a sign that said Kura and I crashed my car trying to figure out what it was. I was like, where is she, this fantastic female comedian? So some people are a little concerned about these cameras because they've got quite a few extra features. What do you need other than take a photo of the car going fast?

A lot of the local community were worried that it was going to ping you for rego and warrant, but they're saying that they can't do that. They totally can't. They can read the number plate. It would immediately know whether or not you had a warrant or a reg. That's how the police know. Do police know if you have a

warrant or not by your number plate? 100%. Well, they can do it, yeah. It's all linked. So these cameras can instantly ping your number plate. So whereas normally they'd take a photo and someone would look at it, or maybe there would be some software

that scanned the image. But a system, though. But this, straight away, the camera in real time can be like, oh, Hayley Sprouse driving past a speed camera. So maybe if you were wanted by the police, that could be helpful information. Maybe if she's wanted.

It picks up seatbelts and also picks up if you're on your phone. Yeah. So this is all one camera and does your speed. And there's another... So apparently at the moment, the only thing that's turned on, by the way, is speed. So the other things are not.

But they can. That's going to be gradually kind of introduced once the camera is kind of rolled out. Does the camera look down? Because how does it see you on your phone? No, it's just a normal on the side of the road camera. Interesting. And they also reckon they'll be able to do point to point speeding when they get enough of them.

Yeah. So they'll average your speed between two camera points. So if you just hone in the whole time. Yeah. But the other, like there's another feature that I don't know and I need to help wondering what this is for, figuring out what this is for. Thermal imaging.

Thermal imaging. Getting all hot and bothered. Like how many people are in the car? So if you're in a T3 lane. I reckon that'll be it. But if you're in a T3 Because we yelled at that'll be it. If you're in a T3. Because we yelled at someone the other day, remember? We wound down the window and yelled at them and said,

where's your passenger? Because they were in the bloody T3. Yeah. We were lucky if there was two people in that car. They completely ignored us. Unless there was a tiny person under the window height. No, there wasn't a kid in the back. I know, because I was trying to peer in at the traffic lights.

We'd literally yell at them then where's your passenger? But that's what it'll be for, right? T3 lanes, or lanes where you have to have a certain amount of people to use that lane. Or if your car is a mobile meth lab, it could pick up the heat. Yeah, I don't think so. Farting? Hot farts? You got hot farts?

Yeah. And you were able to tell who did it. Sweaty crotches? It was passenger left, yeah. Yeah. It was rear left. Maybe how hot your legs are and it will flash you. And then it knows what kind of car you're driving because of the red zone.

It can flash you a warning if you've got vinyl seats to be careful when you hop off because your sweaty legs might be like rip. Yuck. Oh, yeah. Oh. Yeah, how bizarre. How hot your seatbelt is. Yeah.

You know when you jump into a car and it's been in the sun and you grab your seatbelt and it'll burn you. Your wheel. If you've got someone in the boot. You know at a party. Kidnappers. Somebody said kidnappers with people in the boot? Kidnappers with people in the boot? Oh my god though, like actually imagine seeing

a thermal image of a car and there's like two sort of red bits in the front and then a red bit in the boot. So it's important to remember if you're kidnapping someone to wrap them in a thermal blanket before you chuck them in the boot. If you're doing it between Kawakawa and Mauriwa. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Thanks for the advice. And there was a Reddit post about New Zealand. That's where we live. I think I've lived here pretty much from the get-go. Me too. Same, from the start. From what I remember, I was born here.

Well, you were born in Rangiora. No, I was born in Wellington. Beautiful Rangiora. Consciously, though, I was born in Wellington. Right. Your conscience came into being. Into being, in Wellington. In Wellington, yeah.

There it remained for 23 years. Well, people on Reddit were like, what surprised you about New Zealand? I see this all the time. Because somebody went on there and was just like, I can't believe how many bloody road cones you guys have. We do. We're proficient in road cone usage.

But then having just driven in. Do you know I watched a big thing about road cones, about like their design and. They're expensive. They're expensive to make. They're expensive to make. But the reason they're a cone. You can't knock them over.

They stack. Oh, they stack. They stack. They said the cone's good, but like it can't knock them over. They stack. Oh, they stack. They stack. They said the cone's good, but it can still get knocked over. The weight around the bottom keeps it. But it's a pyramid, so it is a bit more. But the main reason that they're cones is they're stackable and they take up way less room.

But so do those white warehouse $10 plastic chairs. You could use those as road dividers. Because they get blown over. We used to drive around in my Mitzi Mirage knocking over road cones. Only on small works, but you'd just go up to it and be like, boop, boop.

Or you went flinging open the back door. No, no, I'd hit it with the front of my car. We've all done that. Look, I was a naughty little being and now I'm a good girl. It's not a student flat if you don't have a road cone. We had a road cone. They made great door stops to hold the door wide open.

They made good-ass trains. Well, I'm sure roading construction engineers and stuff would disagree and would want their cones back. Yes, please. Yeah, they're actually expensive. What else are people surprised about New Zealand? Well, one woman talked about a journey around Morrinsville. Really?

Surprised Morrinsville existed. Oh, God. Is she just like, how am I here? What poor choices in my life have led me here? When a woman who had a baby and a bunch of groceries stopped to ask if they needed help. And she was just like, how friendly was that? I always find it funny when an odd feeling when people come to a place, a certain place, and you're always like, well, it's not quite New Zealand.

My friend Tawanda, he moved from Zimbabwe when he was like in his 20s. And he just made his way to Palmy and lived in Palmy for like 10 years. And when I met him and became friends with him, I was like, oh, how did that happen? He was like, I don't know. You just sort of got a job in Palmy. He just picked it out on the map. He just picked it out on the map.

Yeah, flew into Wellington, went to Palmy, got a job, and was like, now I'm in New Zealand, from Zimbabwe to New Zealand. I was like, wow. To Palmy? Yeah. Power sockets, people coming here didn't know our power sockets were different.

They're quite dainty and small. But also the thing that people notice is that we've got switches. And I never even thought about that. When you go overseas, you just put the plug in and it's on. No, they've got those square switches in the UK, the long rectangular ones. But to turn it on, I mean. Yeah.

Do they have them for the power sockets as well? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. In American hotels, though, they don't. No, they don't. You just jam them straight in. They're just on and ready to go all the time. Oh, God, no. Yeah.

One person said they particularly struggled because of the switch. They plugged it in and it wasn't on, and they didn't know they needed to turn the switch on. Also, if you see a switch, though, how dumb are you? No offence to our American listeners. Oh, it's not just Americans. Many international listeners. Yeah, like that.

That's the UK ones with the long, skinny stick bits. So they have some with switches. Some with switches. Bare feet in public places was a big surprise. That's no surprise. We love a bit of bare feet. How casually we dress. Why we have heaps of flies but not fly screens on windows.

Because it's ugly. It's ugly. It is a bit ugly. Aesthetically, it's not the jam. It is a bit ugly. You'd also probably ask Why in parts of this nation That are really cold If we're talking about houses

Why they weren't insulated Or maybe watertight or something Especially because we're such a young country We're just in a bit of a hurry you know Yeah Clean public toilets Somebody said they were very surprised They went into a public toilet

And it wasn't like really really grim Ooh which one Because there's some I'll show them some manky ones They should show them that one in the central Auckland that I went into. Oh my God, I'm still squored. Oh, yuck.

Every time I walk past it, I'm like, oh, there. When they're stainless steel and they don't have a toilet seat, like, come on, we're not that poor. We can have toilet seats. I think the whole toilet's stainless steel. It should have some sort of

high pressure wash system that just turns on every now and then. It's stainless steel, like a wet room. Yeah, but then you, you need to sit on a wet stainless steel then. It's stainless steel. Like a wet room. Yeah, but then you've got to sit on a wet stainless steel toilet. It's like a prison toilet. Those kind of toilets that when you wash your

hands in the sink and using the soap it makes you feel dirtier. Yeah. Than if you just left and dealt with it later. Yeah. Gross. Now, we actually just had a leap day, didn't we? 29th of February. Last week. February.

They make a beautiful beer, the February. Yeah. And typically they used to say that that was the day that if you hadn't been proposed to by your man, then ladies, you know, you should propose. But that's kind of gone out the window. Feels like it's from the 50s. That's gone out the window recently because just as many,

well, not just as many, but a lot more women would just ask men to get married, right? This is what this article I've read is, is that a lot of celebrants who often, you know, I've been a celebrant before, you ask them the story of their proposal and whatnot, are seeing such a rise in women proposing to men as opposed to just like waiting for it to happen, which I think is great.

I mean, I'm like, it's sort of a, it's an agreement between the two of you. You didn't contemplate this when you were waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for eight years? Yeah. I waited eight years and I did say to him, I'm just going to do it. And he said, no, no, no, no, no, please don't because I want to. And were you like, well, why don't you? Off you

go then. Off you trot. I don't need a ring. I don't need anything. I don't need anything big. I just need you, baby. I mean, I did want a ring and I did want a bit of palaver. But a pavlova. I wanted a ring and a pavlova. I wanted a ring. Celebratory pavlova. And a pavlova with cream.

Yeah. Nice meringue and kiwi fruit. How long after you gave him a kick did he propose? Was it like the next day? Do you know what? For me, it was kind of ongoing from about six years in. So for a good couple of years, I was like, get going, sir. And then I sort of knew it coming.

I've talked about this before. I saw a sizable transaction leave our bank account. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, if that ain't no diamond ring, I don't know what it is. He's in trouble. But then he waited after buying the ring seven more months before asking the question.

Oh, that would have been hell. You knew the money had gone and the ring was purchased. I was like, where is this thing? But yeah, if you are wanting to get engaged

to your boyfriend or your partner of a long time and you're a woman and you think that you have to wait, don't ask. Everyone else is.

Play ZM's Fletch V. Everyone else is. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Now, welcome to the impossible phoner. We want to talk about whether or not you have a name that was so bad that you actually changed it. Because there's a couple of stories. One was that there was a girl whose friend was going to name her daughter something terrible, and she was like, don't do that.

And then there was another girl whose name is Samantha Hart, and you know with a lot of workplaces that they take your first initial and then your last name, make that your email, and she'll be Chart. Oh, yeah. Which is a lovely name to call your partner. That's your nickname for your wife. Yeah.

Chart. Which in German, it's Darling. Is it? Chart. Chart. Chart. Right. Darling would sound like that. Now.

Such a romantic language, isn't it? Chart! For once they don't sound angry. Yeah. My little Chart. Such a romantic language, isn't it? Shut! For once they don't sound angry and... Yeah. My little shut! You are the love of my life. Shut! Now, people have been jumping on both of these articles

and saying, like, you think that's bad, this is my name, and a few people getting it so bad that they changed them. And that's what I want to know, if people in New Zealand, our listeners, have changed their name because it was a shocker to start. And it might not even be a shocker. It might just be that you didn't like it. Yeah. Maybe you gave yourself a

funky name. I've always wanted to be one of those people that's like Willow. Willow. Flower love. You want a hippie name? Yeah, I think I want a hippie name. I feel like it gives you a good energy. I feel like a hippie name? Yeah, I think I want a hippie name. Because I feel like it gives you a good energy. I feel like a hippie name would suit you. Yeah.

Yeah. Shemantra. But then your name isn't... Shemantra. Shemantra. And Samantha. See, I feel like we would hear from a Shemantra that changed their name. Shemantra.

She's Samantha, but she lives in a yurt, you know? Totally. So she's Shemantra. Yeah. So it costs $100. Boomqueether. Maybe we've got a Boomqueesa coming in. Maybe.

One of the best names of all time. I just Googled. It costs $170 to change your name. And by the way, you can use a Prezi card, which is nice. Oh, that's good. Get out of town. It says here, you can pay by credit, debit, or prepaid gift card. For example, Prezi cards.

Get what? That's wild. Imagine getting a Prezi card and you're like, finally. cards. Get what? That's wild. Imagine getting a prissy card and you're like, finally. Finally, can change my name. The gift I've always wanted. But then you've got to do driver's license and then every place that has your name, you've got to change it. I mean, I guess it's if you get married, people that take their

partners last name, you're doing that anyway. Or maybe like you had a name that your parents gave you and it was lame. You thought it was really lame and as a teenager or something, you just changed it. You know, you just got, call me by this and that's your name now. You know, maybe you didn't go through the legal proceedings of it. You just took a stage name. Today for the Impossible Phone-In Topic.

Have you just gone out and changed your name because you didn't like it? Yeah. Maybe you were given a rough one to start. There's a few articles online at the moment of people going like, you think that's a bad name? I'm Doobie Doodoo Bum. Middle name brothers. Doobie Brothers Doodoo Bum.

People changing their name because the initials don't look good. Yeah, when you go like S. Sproul or H. Sproul or something, it's fine. But if you're S. Wallows, you're Swallows. You know? And it's funny. Yeah. Or if you're Sarah Pits. You're Spits.

Sarah Pits. There probably is a Sarah Pit out there. 100% there'd be a Sarah Pitt. Any of these names you come up with, you can search on Facebook. I'm going to spell Pitts with two P's because I believe that's the more surname. Sarah Pitts, Pitts, Pitts, Pitts, Sarah Pitts, Sarah Pitts, Sarah Pitts, Sarah Pitts. Now I'm going to go one P, one T.

Guess what? We've got Sarah Pitts, Sarah Pitts, Sarah Pitts. Can you look for a Sarah Wallows? Yep. Sarah. W-A-L-L-O-W-S. I know an actress whose name is something Wallows. Yeah.

Oh, no, she might be Emily Wallows. Sarah Wallows. Yep. Yep. Multiple. Multiple Sarah Wallows. Holly, good morning. Morning, Al.

Now, this was Grandma that changed her name. Oh. So Grandma's name was Patricia Ivea Green, which made her initials Pig, so she didn't like that. So she's not cool for a granny. So she changed her name to Ivea Patricia Go Green, which then made her IP Green. IP Green.

So she's still teased by the green kids? Or no? Oh, nah, nah. Before my time, but I did get stuck with my Veya, so not too bad. But she just flipped the names around, she didn't go for all new names. No, no, because their family names

are kind of old school back in the day. A lot of people do take their middle name as their first name if they don't like the first. Yeah, if it's cooler. Thank you for your call, Holly. Anonymous, this was a friend that changed their name. Yeah, hi, how are you doing?

Good, good. So good, yeah, I went to school with a friend, obviously, whose surname was Crapper. Oh, no, that's awful. Yeah, that's... And so when they, did they change it when they got married or before they got married? They were just like, whose surname was Crapper. Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah, that's... And so when they... Did they change it when they got married

or before they got married? They were just like, I do not want this name. No, family changed it. And then, obviously, she's married now, but family changed it like post-high school time.

So, you know, went through quite a lot of time as being a crapper. Sorry, even you saying it. It's funny. See, we're immediately laughing at it. I know, like, do it before the kids go to school. They do the hard years of crapper sorry even you saying it it's funny see we're immediately laughing i know like do it before the kids of crapper though yeah it's good kids go to school i mean apparently that a great great god you know grandfather or something were invented the toilet so i don't know that's just what they were saying to try to get and then when that didn't work anymore they

changed it yeah what did they change it to? Cooper. That's a good name. That's a solid last name. That's a solid last name. And you can be like, hey, Coops, let's go. Yeah. You've got a nickname. You've got little Coops,

like if there's a sun, he's little Coops. Super Cooper. LC, like initials go well with the C. Is that the greatest last name of all time? Cooper's right up there.

Should we do final rankings, surnames? Best ever surname. You know, because Cooper's great, Smith's fine. Yeah. Ah, Smith's too common. Cooper's right up there. Should we do final rankings surnames? Best ever surname. You know, because Cooper's great, Smith's fine. Yeah. Ah, Smith's too common. That's nice. Another anonymous caller, you know somebody who changed their name?

Yeah. Okay, what two? Why'd they change it? I think it was just like an obsession. Okay. And they changed it to Goku. Dragon Ball Z Goku Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z What was Goku because I won't

What is that thing where you Name someone's name before they changed Dead naming I'm not going to dead name Goku I'll only identify Goku as Goku What was Goku's name Before it was Goku I probably shouldn't

say. Okay, okay. That's why she's anonymous. But I mean, you said his name's Goku, so I'm saying it's very identifiable, unless he is, as the Saiyans seem to word. Look him up. Yeah, okay. Was it just a normal, everyday name, though? Um, Pachua Big Red Dog.

Oh! Clifford. Oh, Vaughn, I didn't need to be seen. Oh, I thought you didn't know because you didn't have a childhood. I know of Clifford the Big Red Dog. Clifford the Big Red Dog. Enjoy in his childhood. Just because I didn't play Goose Goose Duck or whatever. Duck, duck, goose.

Goose Goose Duck. Yeah, I still know Clifford the Big Red Dog. There's more ducks than geese. Uh, Dino, good morning. Uh, you and your wife chose your own last name. Oh, I love this. Yeah, yeah. Hello, good morning. Hello, good morning You and your wife chose your own last name Oh, I love this Yeah, hello, good morning Hello, good morning

Don't do the accent, Hayley, please When a caller comes on She does it at the fish and chip shop, too I'm sorry, I adopted your accent And it does get me in trouble sometimes Dino, what did you Why did you choose a different name? You both didn't like the name?

So, first of all, I'm from Croatia. I'm not from here. I'm just here on holidays and going around the whole New Zealand. Oh, wow. You're ringing up radio stations. What a wild thing. If I was overseas, I'd never be like, I'm going to call this radio station with a story.

This is great. Yeah, why not? Because I was listening to you guys and I thought it's cool. It's a cool story. Would you say you're a medium, long-time listener, first-time caller? Yeah, no, I was listening to this station for a few days. Ah, that's short. Where's the bell?

There's the bell. Short-time listener, first-time caller. Here we go. Okay. You know, I'm passing through whole New Zealand. Here and there, I'm going to Northern Ireland in a few days. Dino, what's been your favourite part of New Zealand so far? Oh, my God.

Oh, I don't know. Milton, Milton sounds was great. Milton sounds. Yep. That was all beautiful, so great. Really, really beautiful country you have here Thank you We think your country is beautiful as well

Yeah, I've been to your country It's beautiful Is there anything we could improve on? This is actually good We're getting some feedback on the country here Anything you don't like? Yes, there are some things Can you go pen and paper?

Yeah, I'll write it down. Okay. Sure, Dino, number one. In some places I couldn't find a recycle bin for different kind of waste. For example, I had like, I had 30 beer cans, like, you know, aluminum. 30 beer cans, Dino! And I asked at the hotel, where can I put the aluminum can disposal? And they said, we don't know.

Come on, how do you know? Do you have like different bins for that? And they said, no, we have different for plastic, but not for aluminum. And I'm like, okay. That's embarrassing for us. We paint ourselves as clean green Kiwi. And this week is the week that Auckland City Council

have literally stripped out bins to try to save some money. Okay, Dino, what's next on the list that we can improve on? Well, passing lanes. You know, when you have a passing lane, I don't know why everybody speeds up. Why do they all speed up? Oh, Dino. This has been a problem for years, Dino.

Do you know, I feel like we should just keep catching up with Dino while he's in the country for more feedback on the country. Yeah, Dino's critiques. Yeah, so why don't we just leave it at two now. Yes, because we've run out of time. And we'll get your number and we'll give you a call maybe next week. How long are you here for? Two months.

Yeah, great. Can we talk to you again, Dino? Is that all right if we call you again? Yeah, no problem, no problem. Tell us your last name. Tell us your last name. That was what we were calling about. You changed your last name.

So, yeah, this is the whole story. I used to be last named Shkare. Shkare. Scissors. Scissors. Yeah, it means scissors in Croatian. Dino Scissors. Yeah, not a cool last name.

I guess someone was a bail tailor from my ancestors or something. Right, right. Yeah, and then my wife said, look, I don't want to be the last name Scissors or Shkare because it's too complicated. It has this letter, which is just creation. You know, it has a little notch above S. I said, yeah, I understand because I was studying in Canada. And I said, everybody used to call me Scar or Scare and I didn't like it. So she said I don't want to be last name like that.

I said I understand you I never chose my last name. It's just something that was given to me. And what are we going to do? So she said let's take my last name but it was even more complicated because it was Arvo Vidulin. Arvo Vidulin. It's a fancy name from her island because she grew up on an island. I grew up on another island in Croatia. Croatia has 1,500 islands. We are very, you know, enjoying sea very much.

Yeah. So I told her, look, we're going to do it like this. She suggested, let's just keep our last names, each one their own. I said, that's like not getting married at all. I do it like this. She suggested, let's just keep our last names, each one their own. I said, that's like not getting married at all. I don't like it. Yeah. So I said, I'm going to make up a last name, and if you like it, you accept, okay?

Yeah, okay. You're just going to make it up, top of your head. Yeah. Yeah, she said I liked that idea. So my first idea was that our last name would be last name. She loved it, but I think police wouldn't allow that. So your name was going to be Dino last name? Right, okay, okay.

I want it to be last name. Okay. Last name is last name. And did they accept it? So your last name is last name? No, they wouldn't accept it. They said, no, let's forget about it. I'll think of something better. So I was thinking and thinking, and I came accept it. I said, no, let's forget about it. I'll think of something better.

So I was thinking and thinking, and I came up with Morit, which is M-O-R-E, which means sea in Croatian. So I said, okay, maybe you like the last name Sea, M-O-R-E, and everywhere in the world they can call us Mor, Mor, whatever. It's easy. And she said, yeah, I kind of like it, especially because her name is Sunny, and now she is Sunny C.

Oh! God, that's beautiful. That's beautiful, Dana. That's beautiful. The mortgage. And she's from the islands, and the islands are in the sea. In New Zealand, you'd be naughty as well. Yeah.

Oh, that's lovely. Sea is the source of life, you know, and we both scuba dive and we clean sea. Dino, you are the source of life. This guy's cleaning the sea. You are the source of life. We're going to get Dino's... You get to thinking about where's a country

can do better over this weekend, and we'll talk to you next week for another one of Dino's reviews of New Zealand. Write down the list. Okay. Thanks, Dino. How was that? Play ZDM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.

Play ZDM's. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- of origin is about sports. State of origin is a game play of rugby league between... Just when I think of origin, I just think of state of origin because I'm such a rugby league girl. You're such a rugby league girl. So, sports named after where they were invented and made popular. Rugby. Correct. You're off to two examples.

Rugby is from rugby school. In rugby, Warwickshire. Warwickshire. You get there eventually, don't you? Drop the second W. Warwick. Warwick. Why do you drop the second W?

Warwickshire, England. I don't know. I don't know, Vorgan. Why have you got a G and H in the middle? Coming at Warwick's. Yeah. Badge hand. Why do you?

Hey, leave me alone. Leave me alone. Rugby school in rugby in England was where the rules were first codified, as they put it, in 1845, written down and said, these are the rules of this funny game we're playing with an oblongy, overly ball.

Pigskin? Yep. So rugby was invented in rugby and badminton is named after Badminton. After bad men. Nope. Badminton House is a large country house and grade one listed building in Badminton, Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire. Yep. That's the source, isn't it? The brown savoury sauce. Gloucestershire. Gloucestershire sauce. So it's specifically in the house in Badminton that it's named after because that was where it was first played with its current rules.

Do they have a big hall in there or something? They did, yes. Yeah, they did. The Badminton house, they had an indoor court. Couldn't handle a tennis ball. It's heavy. Sports with a shuttlecock have been played for years,

but not with the high net and the smaller racket. Previous iterations of badminton were called battledore, which is also what they used to call the rackets, and shuttlecock, because it used a shuttlecock. But it was a little bit different

to previous sports involving shuttlecocks. So they renamed it where they wrote down the rules. We've also really got to work on our men's naming for the Padminton team. What were they? No, it's not a myth, Vaughn. It is. No, they're not. They're not the Blackhawks.

They put that forward to the international committee, but they were told no, no. So it was like their unofficial funny name. They knew what they were doing. They'll always be the BBCs to me. They'll always be the BBCs to me. In terms of like television networks, your favourite is the BBC.

Well, I was News Hub, but now I'm going to be BBC. Yeah. Still around. So today's fact of the day in Origin Week is that rugby is named after rugby. There's been many a poor nana that's been looking for the BBC and ended up Googling the BBC. I need to find the news on this here internet. Especially if you're looking for the BBC and the Cook Islands. Yes, bbc.co.ck.

Yeah. But today's is about sports, the origins of which badminton was invented in badminton. And rugby, the rules were codified in a town called rugby. Codified or codified? Codified. Don't care. What? Because it's a D.

We have a ruling on that? Codified. Is it codified? Codified. Can you get a Google ruling on that? Never. Because American will be different. I've never dealt with the word before, I don't believe. I thought it was codified. Anyway,ified. Can you get a Google ruling on that? Never. Because American will be different. I've never dealt with the word before, I don't believe.

I thought it was codified. Anyway, okay. Who am I to tell you how to pronounce things? Hang on, hang on. Let me just hear it. Codified. Codified. You need to apologise.

I thought we said codified. No, just apologise. No, but in New Zealand we say things different. Like the British, how do the British say it? That's American. I'm sorry, I can't say can you, can I hear it in a Kiwi. Codify.

I don't know. Just be there. You're thinking of wrap it up. You're thinking of the band. You've derailed him. He wrapped it up almost perfectly.

You came in with your willy nilly codify. Fact of the day, day, day, Tay, Tay. Now when we think about true friendship, we think about things like showing up for each other, you know, really being there. What is the marker of a best friend?

They'll do anything for you. They'll drop everything to be there in your times of need. I've got an hour spare, but any more. Shut up. You are one of the most generous people I know. Don't tell people that. I want to keep a cold, hard image. Anyway, someone has shared online that that's all well and good but actually the true mark of a

best friend, how you can determine a best friend and differentiate them from the rest is... Do you let them say differentiate and not correct in the beginning? I said differentiate. That would be the mark of a true friend. Well, we'll just let it pass

by. Which is a wonder if one has any friends because if he has any word pronounced wrong, he's straight at their throat. Pronounced. Pronounced. It's pronounced. It's pronounced. It's pronounced.

The true mark of a best friend in 2024 is if you have the ability to tag them in a promotional post on Instagram without having to say anything. And now the girlies, Shannon and Calvin, are totally on board. So you know you see a thing which is like, when your chance at a $1,000 wardrobe from this thing, all you have to do is follow and tag two friends.

You got this? Yes, George's a studio. And then Calvin and I don't. Wait, what are you talking about? That's annoying. I don't want to do that. But being a good friend, the mark of a good friend in 2024 is that you see it and you go, I see what she's doing.

We don't need to chat. We don't need to respond to it. It's just she's trying to win something. No, because it's annoying. Stop it. They're going to request me to follow them. No, they won't. They don't.

No, no, no. That's why, this is why, I don't know, Fletch, I would never tag you, but I'll tag George because I know that she'll comment back and be like, oh my God, yeah, and then also enter for us as well. Yeah. Yeah, it's good, eh? Unbelievable.

When I read this, I was like, oh my God, yes. Georgia Burt's a scab and she's got a Louis Vuitton bag. And she won it all? And she gave me a day. She went to Italy. Anyway. And she bought a house and she went to Italy. Anyway. And she bought a house and she's getting a new kitchen.

I mean, when does the money stop? But then, I get tagged in these by random people. Yeah, same sometimes. And they're doing it

because they're never going to meet you. You're just a media personality to them. They'll be like, I just need to tag someone. But then I reply saying, if you win,

I better get this. If you don't tag me in if I'm. But then I reply saying, if you win, I better get this. If you don't tag me in, I'm not going to directly benefit from this if you win. Also, I'm just like, no one ever wins those things. Stop being a boomer mum. It's so spot on. I do it to my best friend and my mum

and they both do it to me. And you'll just get it and be like, Jess Freeman tagged you in a post. And I'll look and I'll be like, oh yeah, all good. What does she want? Whatever. A $1,000 GHD. Win a

anything you want from this clothing brand. Buy it. Get these shoes. All you're going to do is tag a friend. Tag me. Don't tag me if you're listening. I was going to say you just said tag me. No, only Jess and Patsy can tag me. Those are my tags. Come on, do it.

Oh, Carwin and Shannon, maybe Georgia. You're allowed. You can tag me now. Maybe. I never even see these posts. It really is a mark of a friendship because that would bug the hell out of me. Unless it's a funny meme, I don't want to be tagged. But then if it's a funny meme, it gets direct to you.

Well, that gets into the chat. And I tell you what, I just want to thank you guys. Our little meme-sharing chat is really going well lately. Yeah, good memes. Yeah, good memes, good friends. Good stuff. The internet just provides on the daily, doesn't it? It giveth.

I mean, it destroys. It taketh away. It's destroying society. It's destroying society. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. The British Museum looking to promote their new exhibition, Life in the Roman Army.

Oh, that would be cool. Pretty interesting. Be pretty interesting. Oh, my God. Stop me. I'm running out the door. They put up a TikTok video. You were going to get there so quickly.

Okay. Yeah, that's what I mean. Just try to stop me. I'm getting Why? She wants to get there so quickly. Okay, right. Yeah, that's what I mean. Just try to stop me. I'm getting out the studio door to get there. There better be a corner talking about how the Roman army could just never quite conquer Asterix and Oblox. Yes.

It's a magic potion. Just a corner though. It was Getterfix's magic potion. Yeah, just a little corner. I don't want the whole thing dedicated to the Gauls. They defied them. We'll see the Roman exhibition. You can do the maths corner.

They've got a maths exhibition at the... Do they? Yeah. Married at First Sight? No, maths. Maths. Oh, maths. Now, don't tell me there's a maths corner

and I get there and it's a maths corner. Yeah, it is. No, it's a Married at First Sight. Equations and stuff. And they've got all the outfits they wore. All the outfits, right. I don't know what else. It's a classic.

It's so good. It's the outfits. Yeah. So, Legion, Life in the Roman Army, to promote it, they uploaded a TikTok video to the official British Museum TikTok account that said, Girlies, if you're single and looking for a man, this is your sign to go to the British Museum's new exhibition, Life in the Roman Army,

and walk around looking confused. You're welcome. Looking confused! Come for the Roman, stay for the romance. Oh, okay. Good from them in terms of that little pun. Playing on the whole idea that men think about the Roman Empire. Yeah. Way more than they should or have reason to.

The aqueducts were amazing, weren't they? The aqueducts were incredible before that time. Phenomenal. But it's also playing on the idea that girls are dumb and wouldn't know anything about it either. Hell, dance and destroy us. I never took it as playing dumb. I just thought it was more that it just wouldn't interest them.

Why wouldn't the Roman... Well, you just literally said you wouldn't want to go to the maths corner. It doesn't interest me, and I do want to go to the maths corner, but lots of women are more smarter than I am. If you're single and having trouble finding men, this is where you're going to find them. Right.

And the Roman Empire, because men are always thinking about the Roman Empire. I know. I think it's the part where they say, playing dumb, looking confused.

Yeah, yeah. That's probably a little bit insulting. So then they've said, actually, we've taken it down, but they defended it, saying,

we actually reposted a video from a female who came and did that on her own account. Oh, right. Okay. And we were just like, this is wonderful. And so we shared it as well.

But they were saying it's not your place as the museum to share this. You should be encouraging everybody to go. Unrelenting fascist imagery and sexism dolloped on top. This is the British Museum's Instagram today. That's what somebody said. Dr. Claire Millington.

That's a little dramatic. Yeah. Wow. So they've said, sorry about that. Hot tip though, actually. Do you think this would work at the, say, Te Papa or the...

I was going to say, this is like the big Weta workshop, World War I. Today, I love that. Every time I go to Wellington, I'll go through that. Yeah.

And every time I get the goosebumps. Yeah. But I mean, at Te Papa, you could go to any exhibition depending on the man you want. Maybe you like the Polynesian boys. You know, you get to the sort of Polynesian art section being like... Maybe you could pick up somebody at the Giant Squid. Yeah, you like big squid boys.

They like going looking at big, rotten, yuck-ish squids. That thing is getting yucky. Well, if you enjoyed that, give us a rating and review and be sure to tell your mates. You know what? I reckon your script reading is getting better. Thank you. I give it five stars.

Thank you. Just like I give this podcast. I'm telling my friends about your script reading too. Thank you. Much like I'm going to do about this podcast. Thank you, Vaughan and Hayley, for that. Good boy. do about this podcast. Thank you Vaughan and Hayley for that. Good boy. ZM's Fletch,

Vaughan and Hayley.
