The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Here. Present. Present. Vaughan's still a little sick.

You're on your nasal sprays and your throat sprays. Yep. I'm alright. God, you've been hooning that throat spray for like months. Aren't you meant to use that for like two days and then stop? No, it's a nasal spray you're only supposed to use for a few days before stopping. And then this stuff's good to go, baby. Good to go. Gargles swirl around the mouth.

Drinking that like bloody Raro. That's just a little spray. Have you got a sore throat? I've got everything. Yeah. Sore throat, blocked nose, had a two and a half hour nap yesterday, big bowl of chicken soup. Lovely.

We've got a lot of guests coming in and you're going to be coughing all over them. Yep. You've got to sort it out. Joining us soon, the New Zealand Comedy Fest is on at the moment. Yes, that's right and we've actually got an international guest coming into studio. Wilson Dixon from the American States of United.

Of United, yeah. I believe he's bringing in his guitar. Right, okay, he'll be in in about 10 minutes. In about 10 minutes time. Later on in the week though, Friday, we're joined by Deborah Frances White. Yes, from the Guilty Feminist podcast. Ginormous podcast, almost a couple of hundred downloads. Yeah.

A couple of hundred downloads. A couple of hundred. Cute. Cute. A couple of hundred million downloads. Millions of downloads. So she's a guilty feminist doing shows in Auckland,

Wellington, Christchurch. Yeah, as part of the Comedy Fest. Yeah. Filming live. So that'll be fun. Yeah, so she's in on Friday. The top six on the way. Oh, I'm also going to come in on Friday.

Oh, because you're doing a show. You've been getting plenty of free plugs in, surely. No, no, I just mean I'll be here on Friday. Oh, you'll just be here and you're in the Comedy Fest. And I'm in the Comedy Fest. Okay. So if you wanted to book a ticket. I won't be here on Friday, nor am I in the Comedy Fest.

I believe you're contractually obligated to be here on Friday. Am I though? Yeah. Check it, check it. I think you are. The top six to be here on Friday. Am I, though? Yeah. Check it. I think you are. The top six signs, winter's arriving down south. Wintery polar blasts, apparently. That's what they kept saying on the weather.

When are they coming? Weather down south are here. Expect to be rolling out of bed to a chilly start. Yeah, I was coming to work this morning in shorts thinking, I think this is the last week of shorts. Could be the last week of shorts. I'm loving it. It's nearly winter duvet time too.

Nearly winter duvet time. Yeah, we double duvet. We don't change. We just add another. You add another layer? Yeah. Okay. A whole other duvet in its own duvet cover.

Like another quilt. Oh, another double quilt. So we'll duvet and we'll quilt. That's a good idea. Yeah, I know. I don't really switch out the inner. Because a quilt looks way better on a bed than a duvet cover. Yeah, I know.

They're gorgeous. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything's about to be a whole lot prettier. Next on the show. Gen Z, they love their influencers. They're social media influencers. But there's one part about their influencers that they don't mind.

And it's quite a big part. I'll tell you what that is next. Big study looking at how the different generations value influencers. Okay. Your social media influencers, your beauty influences, your health and fitness influences. Your renovation influences. You're a renovation influencer.

Mill Cottage Reno. Yeah. Being quiet. Anyway, I've been busy. Now, one of the most interesting sort of pieces of information to come out of this study centers around Gen Z. Okay. One of my top seven this study centers around Gen Z. Okay. One of my top seven generations.

Okay. Gen Z. And how much they care about AI influences, which is becoming a thing, right, that brands are working with AI-generated influences to promote things. And even though we know they're not real, there they are. And apparently though we know they're not real, there they are.

And apparently Gen Z's all for it. They don't even care if the influencers they follow are human or not. But I thought that was the entire idea of influencing is that you follow someone or you relate to them or you like what you see. Yeah. And then they recommend something and you're like,

well, yeah, I'll give that a go. Yeah, because you've experienced it. You human, I'm human. Yeah. You're a human and you're like, well, yeah, I'll give that a go. Yeah, because you've experienced it. You human, I'm human. Yeah. You're a human and you're telling me this is good and so I'll have a little go with it. Like if someone... What about hate followers?

Do you think they could hate follow? Have they done any looks into people you only follow so you can roll your eyes at them? Not as part of this. But like if you were to try a skincare thing and you were like, oh my god, you genuinely say, I love it so much. You would be like, okay, well, Hayley's

human. And humans have skin. And humans have skin, so this must be great for my skin. But if a robot, a computer generated image is saying, oh my god, look at my skin. You'd be like, what's the point? You don't have skin, you're a robot. Yeah. You're so right, what's the point? You don't have skin. You're a robot. Yeah.

You're so right because a lot of influencing is around health and lifestyle. Yeah. Exercise, diet, beauty. Yeah, you're like, what do you know? You're not even a thing. Why am I even talking to you? Who are you? You're just a computer. They haven't thought this through when they were asked about it, right?

No, I don't think they have. They're too busy thinking about themselves. But it says that 46%, almost half of Gen Z respondents said that they would be more interested in a brand that worked with an influencer generated with AI. More interested.

Half of them. Shannon, our local Gen Z. She loves to be influenced. Would you? I'd be kind of here for it if it was based on an algorithm. Like maybe if it swept the internet of all the real humans and then went, hey, out of these million people,

everyone said you should use this face wash. Maybe I'd be here for it. Maybe it is more reliable. So you want the AI-generated person to be influenced by human research? Well, yeah, but, you know, influencers these days are pretty dodgy. There's one who just got done doing a mascara ad and she was wearing falsies. So maybe I would trust her a lot more.

False teeth. Traitor. False eyelashes. She's like, hey, guys. Hey, guys. Guys. I'm just going to tell you that's mascara. You've got to get used

to the falsies before you start doing influencer. You're not even looking at the eyelashes. You're looking at those ginormous teeth. Well that's probably

how she got away with it for so long. Everybody was just like what's going on with the massive teeth? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eyelashes. Also fake eyelashes.

Yeah. But she was saying these are my real eyelashes. This is just what the mascara does. Yeah, so she was like putting on the mascara and then there was a cut in the video

and she's like, look at my long, luscious lashes and it was very clearly fake eyelashes. So when you say she got done, she recently got done. Cancelled. Oh, okay, right. I was like, what, is she in prison? Your career is over. No, but yeah, she, you know, people,

there's a lot of distrust now with these ads because these influencers are getting sometimes millions of dollars for brand deals. So we're trusting a robot more. I think I actually would. But, oh God. I know. I know.

It's bizarre, right? I'm actually ready to turn the internet off. Yeah, I think so too. Or we could turn the internet off for a bit. What, just go back to listen to the radio? I reckon we just turn off the internet for three weeks and see how it goes. Yeah. Are we allowed internet banking and stuff?

Or just maybe give us some notice so I can get some cash out? Get some cash out. Get some cash out. Get some cash out. Because I'm about to flick this thing off. That would be great. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. As you know, the New Zealand International Comedy Fest kicked off last weekend with the big galah.

I was in it. It was great. Killed. And it wasn't just national, you know, local comedians. It was international artists as well. And we're actually joined by one of those international guests in studio, Wilson Dixon. Good morning. Good morning.

How you going? Yeah, really good. Thank you. All the way from Murica? Murica. Yeah. We're abouts in Murica, yeah. Well, whereabouts in Murica? Colorado.

You've got your guitar with you because you sing beautiful country songs, I assume. Yeah, they're always country songs. Yeah, do you want to sing us a little song? I can do, I can do. It goes like this. Sing along if you guys know the words. Have you heard?

If a cop says stop right there and reach for the sky, he's not encouraging you to achieve your goals. If a man greets you and says, put it there, he's meaning your hand. If a woman says, it's on the tip of my tongue Probably isn't It's unusual to be that lucky If a lady says

She's head over heels In love with you Don't believe her Knowing that flexible Will stay with you for long If a woman says knowing that flexible will stay with you for long. If someone says, you're getting on my goat, don't look around for their goat. If a man says he's going to take a dump,

he's more than likely going to take a dump. He's more than likely going to leave it there. Or someone says, don't take my advice. That's advice. It's advice about not taking their advice. So take their advice.

But make sure it's the only advice that you're taking. Wow. That was, it was, it was almost wise. Thank you very much. Thank you. Almost wise. It almost gets there. It's almost wise.

Yeah, it kind of tweaks something down in there that you think, is that something? Yeah. And then you go, nearly, nearly something. Nearly,

nearly. Let's make something. Well, if you want to go and see Wilson in Auckland in the Comedy Festival, you can't.

Fletchford and Hayley Silly little poe Silly little poe It sort of touched on this yesterday. If you were or are a tradie, what is slash would be your high-vis colour? Yeah, orange or yellow. You've got to go orange or yellow. We looked up the other colours. Green, not really.

Blue, hard to find. And also, apparently, Jared was saying blue high-vis is the official high-vis colour of, what is it, emergency responders? Oh, okay. Civil Defence. Oh, yeah, right. Oh, right. So they've kind of got the...

They've got that one. They've got the market for blue. Okay. Pink. Hot plate. Yeah, hot plate. Hot plate. But again, not as readily as available.

No. When it comes to your high-vis work gear. Orange or yellow as your high-vis. Orange. Taking it out at 56%. Oh, that's close, though. I went yellow. I'm definitely a yellow high-vis guy.

Yeah, I'm orange. Kristen says, considering my husband and daughter are both gingers, I figured it was the correct answer. Orange. Let's just see if she voted orange. Orange, yeah. Does it clash? Yeah, mate.

I'm going to Google image search a ginger and orange high-vis. Oh, no, nothing there. What's his name from the Aussie team? Was on The Bachelor. That's pretty good. What about Ed Sheeran? Imagine Ed Sheeran in high-vis orange or high-vis yellow. I think I'd look alright.

No, yellow would look terrible. Okay, orange. Or you've got to go with orange. Orange would be best. Greer said, I voted orange. I believe yellow is for cyclists. Right. Yeah, a lot of cyclists will never go orange.

They'll always go yellow, won't they? Always. That's actually a really good point. You don't see them in orange. And more reflective stripes, please. Yeah. There's a cyclist I passed on the way to work this morning. They had the flash of red light, but not nearly enough reflective strips.

Well, would you like them to drape like a Christmas tree or something? nearly enough reflective strips. What would you like them to drape? Like a Christmas tree or something? Just more reflective strips. Okay. Strap them up. So I can see where you're at. Maybe you should slow down and give them room. No, beep just in case. Don't.

Beep just in case. I put my hand out the window. Grab the ass. I reach over and I go, whoppa, coming through. Right. Let them know they're doing a good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd have to go on the inside of them though

To reach out your driver's window To smack their ass You'd be in the gully No I hold on to the wheel I've got a narrow car And I reach across I'm swerving a bit Yeah

Give them a little tap on the bum there Okay Catherine said yellow Because orange is for road workers Oh I don't think there's a rule No they are orange But yeah you're right

Because they match the cones Always orange. But why are they never yellow, road workers? Well, they've got to be some kind of cohesive. No, you haven't. I've seen yellow road workers. He hasn't. Road workers.

He reckons he has, but he hasn't. Look, here's a guy in an orange floral suit with a yellow vest on. Yeah, but he's a supervisor. Oh, he's a site visitor. He's a site visitor. Are you not including site visitors? No, no, no, no. Road works as in standing on the side of the road doing the works. That's a site visitor. Are you not including site visitors? No, no, no, no. Roadworks as in

standing on the side of the road doing the works. That's orange. Right. Okay. Which stands out to you more though?

Yellow. Yellow. Yeah, see yellow. Orange. Mason says orange. I worked as a trader years ago and once the

yellow gets dirty it's done and yellow is reserved for the divas of the trades like sparkies and plumbers. Oh, okay. So there's like a thing here. Shots of the trades like sparkies and plumbers. Oh,

okay. So there's like a thing here. Shots fired by sparkies and plumbers. I would be a diva though. I'm still going yellow. If you're dealing with possible electrocution every minute of your day

as a sparky, diva worthy. Yeah. And if you're dealing with people's poopers and wee-wees and wastewater, diva worthy.

Yeah. Look, I just looked up plumbers New Zealand. They're in yellow. Oh yeah, looka worthy. Yeah. Look, I just looked up Plumbers New Zealand. They're in yellow. Oh, yeah. Look at that. They're all in yellow, the plumbers.

Charlotte says, I'm a tradie lady and I try to get pink high-vis as much as possible, but orange is my backup when there's no pink. Also, my boss, who is male, loves a pink high-vis. Oh, really? Okay. That's good. That's great. That's great stuff.

Love the pink. I might branch out for my high-vis and get a pink. Yeah, it's not just for the girls in the game. I know, because I'm off the yellows. It's orange for me. I might get an orange and a pink. But sometimes the pink fluoro goes a little bit like plummy or like purple. Yeah, it goes deep.

I don't like that. Yeah, you need a bright light. Go deep. Pink fluoro. It's bloody insane. Orange all the way, says Sophie. Yellow stains way too easy. Grease and oil from the trucks make you look like you haven't washed your clothes since you got them.

Okay, so orange. Rebecca says, my husband says yellow isn't very common anymore. Orange is apparently the go-to. Okay. For the high-vis. As a girlie working in the industry, trust me when I say the guys are a thousand times hotter in yellow. Okay. That swayed everybody back to yellow.

Everybody wants them hot. Now, there's a model in the pink. Oh, yeah. It's like a jacket, too. It's like a waterproof jacket. Yeah, okay. I think she looks good. Yellow is for office workers visiting the real workers and trying to fit in.

Oh, okay. That's from Dallas. Yep. Firing shots there at the site supervisor. Against the site visitors. Yellow is for the supervisors. Orange is for the minions, says Alex. Okay. There you go.

Orange. Oh my God, you can get a pink hivers dog jacket. Walking your dog at night. Walking your dog gets a job on the construction site. Yeah, when they're visiting the site. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. The tattoo removal industry is worth

1.5 billion dollars. I bet it is. Wow. Around the world. That's what they estimate it as. Now, I don't have a single tattoo. Vaughn, you don't? No. I've got a few. You've got a few, but never any regret with any of them? No, not regret. I mean, some of them don't look as good as they used to,

but I'm sort of like, it's sort of part of the story. Get them touched up. I'd go and get them touched up before I got them removed. But I've had friends that have them removed because they've had them in like really obvious places that you see all the time and it doesn't reflect them anymore. Whereas mine are kind of hidden. Is it like, because I know it's laser,

but is it like the laser hair removal? No. It's so much worse. Is it like, because I know it's laser, but is it like the laser hair removal? No. No. It's so much worse. Is it more painful? Yeah. Because it like snaps through the skin

to kill the pigment and apparently it's so much worse than getting a tattoo. Well, a London-based tattoo removal studio, they're like

one of the big ones. They've got a lot of star-studded clientele, they say. They're called NAMA, N-A-A-M-A. And they do a lot of celebrity removals and just, I guess, people in London that regret their tattoos.

And they have broken down how long it would take different celebrities to get rid of all of their tattoos. Because it takes longer than getting the tattoos. Yeah, because you've got to go and go and go. It's like a few sessions. They said it's one of the biggest questions they get asked is, well, how long is this going to take?

And it depends on the ink that you got on your tattoo ink, the density, the quality of the ink, the location. The colors. Yeah, the location. The moment it's snapped open, pick, pen, and encompass it. I think that would come out quite easily. That would come out easy. Also, apparently it depends on your immune system.

Oh, interesting. So I guess because your body's being punished with so much pain and laser maybe? Producer Jared just said one of his besties went for one session. It was so bad he never went back and just kept the tattoo. Oh, my God. Was it slightly faded? Yeah, so he had a chest tat. Oh, there's no cushion there.

Yeah, so it already hurts quite a lot. And he went for one session. I think he was supposed to go for like five or six. Yes. And he just never went back and got stuff added around it instead. See, I think that's what a lot of people, especially if they've got more tattoos, it's easier to just cover it up with a bigger fresher. Okay, so Post Malone, who what a lot of people, especially if they've got more tattoos, it's easier to just cover it up with a bigger fresher.

Okay, so Post Malone, who has a lot of tattoos and on the face. I have one. I've been tattooed by the tattoo artist that tattooed that tattoo on his face. You do, yeah. Post Malone, they reckon it would take eight to ten sessions and it would be at least a year. Yeah, looking at him, he's got them all over his arms and legs. Machine Gun Kelly,

who apparently took seven sessions to fully ink his whole upper body. Because he's got a blackout tattoo, right? He's got a blackout upper body. They reckon 20 to 30 sessions, which would take about three years if he ever wanted to lose all of his tattoos.

Jeepers. Ed Sheeran, he's got a lot of a colourful lion on his chest. Yeah. And they said that colours are actually the hardest to remove. Harder than black. They said pure colours respond really well to treatment, but when colours are mixed, the ink oxidises and changes colour. Oh dear.

And so yellows apparently are really hard to remove. But they reckon Ed Sheeran would take 10 to 12 sessions and be just over a year, 13 months. Harry Styles, 55 tattoos. 10 to 12 sessions, 10 months. Oh. Because I don't think he's got a lot of intricate stuff.

It's more just like... Sticker. Sticker. Sticker kind of tattoos. I'm just looking, reminding myself of Machine Gun Kelly's blackout tattoo. It's insane, eh? Like he's covered. I don't think you'd ever really get rid of that, eh? No. Sticker. Sticker kind of tattoos. I'm just looking, reminding myself of Machine Gun Kelly's blackout tattoo. It's insane, eh? Like he's covered. I don't think you'd ever really get rid of that, eh? No. Not fully.

That's sort of to get rid of everything you already have. Yeah. Okay, Travis Barker, who is literally covered head to toe. They reckon 20 sessions and around two years for him. Yeah. I mean, none of them are ever going to remove them. Like they're there for the rest of their lives But

Interesting that that's how long Because you know We all know what these celebs Look like with their tats Yeah totally But it kind of puts that In perspective right That's a lot of

That's a lot of painful sessions I think When they zap the ink What happens Does it just go into your system Yeah you absorb it Do you Where does it come out

I think you wee it out Does it go into your waist systems? Yeah, I think so. That's a good question. I don't know. Someone's, a couple of people texting in. It's like a deep excruciating burn.

It hurts a lot. Oh God. See, I mean, I've had laser hair removal and that's like, that can be painful in like bits where you've got no fat.

Yeah, because I've had tattoos on fatty bits and bony bits and where there's no fat... So it'd be the same for the laser? It'd be the same. No.

You need the cush for the... It would literally be less painful to get it covered up with something else. Once the laser's broken the ink into smaller pieces, your body's immune system works to remove the ink over the following weeks, flushing it away from the tattooed area. Oh, so that's why you're immune system. Straight through our lymphatic system. Right.

What one's that one? So you just go wheeze and it's like green or black. I sort of just imagine you just got to have to, like that's the commitment you made. Unless it was something, you know, like gang related and you'd found a different life. I'm just like, oh. They're part of the story.

Yeah, so it goes into the blood system, which then gets cleaned out by the kidneys and then you wear that eventually. Yeah, Carwen said one of her friends got it and she nearly fainted. Oh my God, no. I'm just, I'm stuck with it for life. This is why you don't get drunk and choose something from the folder

in the tattoo shop. Dolphins aren't cool forever, guys. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Good morning. Yesterday, temperatures went below one degree Celsius in Christchurch. And it's expected to get colder across the South Island.

Currently, Blenheim, the coldest place in New Zealand, minus 1.3. Oh, my God. Zero in the Garden City Christchurch right now. Timaru is on zero, nine in Dunedin, and five in Nelson. Yeah, she's chilly, but a nice day. Three below is forecast for Christchurch on Friday. Oh! It's going to be cold morning on Friday.

I've got the top six signs. Winter's arriving down south. Okay. Number six on the list. Someone forgot to get their budgie in and now they're going budgie shopping. Oh, God. Oh.

It'll freeze the food. I don't think I'd let my budgie out. You take it outside in its cage to give it some fresh air. Let it see what it's missing out on. Yeah, and remind yourself that having a squawking bird inside the house was a terrible idea that nobody really thought too much about. Yeah, right.

People with birds inside, they're a bit weird, eh? It's so odd. It was a real, like, 70s and 80s mood, eh? Yeah. A bird, a pet bird inside. Bizarre. My marching coach had two birds, but they were really old. Did she kill them for ages?

With one stone? She didn't kill the two birds with one stone. Okay. She required a stone each. Oh, okay. How many birds, what was the exchange rate back there for birds in the hand versus in the bush? I don't know. I'm unsure.

I met her with the birds. In hand? I'm not sure of the... They were never in her hand. They were in a very large cage. Was it a canary? And were you in a coal mine? It's got cockatiel energy.

Oh, cockatiel. Yeah. Yeah, well, just get them in because it gets cold and they freeze to their perch. Number five on the list of the top six signs winter's arriving down south.

My mate Graz, who's a news cameraman, is planning on an early morning to get footage of people slamming on their brakes on ice and sliding sideways into a ditch. The news love that, don't they? They love a fresh batch too. I love it. You can tell if they're using last year's.

Oh yeah. You can always tell. Yeah. You can always tell. Number four on the list of the top six signs winters arrive down south. Speaking of the news, they'll be showing us some freezing cold sheeps.

Oh yeah. Cold sheeps. Cold sheeps. Cold sheeps. They're out there. There's snow everywhere. The sheeps don't really care too much, do they? Yeah. But everyone's frequenting out there.

I think we just say sheep. I don't think we say sheeps. I thought it was sheeps. I believe it's sheeps. Sheepies. Is it? Okay. Sheeps.

Oh, yeah. Sheeple. Sheeple. Sheeps. Sheeple. Number three on the list of the toxic six signs wind is arriving down south. There'll be a story in the paper about how you don't pour boiling water on your windscreen if it's frozen over. Never boiling water.

People do that, though, don't they? That'll crack your windscreen. I think it was one of the first things my dad taught me when I was driving. If it's frosty. When it's frosted. Yeah. Not boiling water. Cold.

Just tap. Makes the glass expand too quick. Warms it up too quick. Yeah. Then you can. Cold. Just tap. Glass expand too quick, warms up too quick, breaks the glass. Then you can have a shattered windscreen. Number two on the list of the top six signs wind is arriving down south. Your kids have just started early morning Saturday sports. They never do that when it's warm. They never find sports. They don't when it's dark and cold.

Yeah. What we'll do is we'll wait until the coldest months of the year and then have them run around in the cold. This is why you've got a cold. Netball. Because you go to netball. Because I'm out in the coldest months of the year and then have them run around in the cold. This is why you've got a cold. Netball. Because you go to netball. Because I'm out in the cold. Yeah.

Got the cold. From the cold. Bloody hell. You'll catch a cold. Take a thermos, though. Always get a pie at the tuck shop, too, at the netball games. Oh, fun. On a Saturday morning.

Always get a pie. And always bitch about how the coffee cart's not really that good of coffee, but you find yourself buying one every week. Oh, of course. It's there. And the top six signs. Wind is arriving down south. You think it's cold enough for snowboarding and skiing, but it's not.

It's not. Snow in May goes away. Snow in June, probably still too soon. Snow in July. It's party. It's party time. Yeah, that needs some work. I think the July one needs some work. Yeah, that needs some work. I think the July one needs some work.

Yeah, July needs some work. That's what I saw. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yesterday, I trusted the weather app on my phone. As you should. And it let me down again. Sorry. Are you okay there, Mum?

Sorry. Is that you or me? It was the weather app. It was me. It was me. Because we were just discussing this as the song was ending. Can you trust it these days? Because of climate change, the weather is so out of whack and bizarre.

And we were like, you can't trust it in Auckland. Four seasons in one day. Four seasons in one day. It's famous for us. It's because it's an isthmus. An isthmus? It's an isthmus. Auckland is an Ismuth.

In Ismuth. It's a narrow bit of land with ocean each side, two very different oceans. It's tropical. Two very different weather situations. Ismuth. Because it says for us, we have a stellar week of straight up sunshine.

Gorgeous. So why would we think that that would turn? It says that and then it'll start raining and you're like but there was no rain on the app. And not just raining like. Yeah and so yesterday I was like um going to the gym I packed my bag and I was just in my gym workout gear just a t-shirt and then I was like do I need my jacket and then I looked at the weather app and it said sun sun sun sun sun sun sun until the end of the day. And I was like, that means no rain jacket. So I walked to the gym and halfway there it starts raining.

And I open the app and there's still a sun. And I'm like, you're doing me dirty. Can you, on my microphone, I hope this comes up. The other day I went to the local supermarket near my house to grab a couple of things. Sunny on the app. Yep. Hang on, hang on. Listen to grab a couple of things. Sunny on the app. Yep. Hang on, hang on.

Listen to this. This was inside. In the supermarket. Yeah. I kind of like when you can hear the rain on the roof, though. It's so nice. It was that kind of rain that was just like, just like crazy.

And on the app, it was sunny. And then I was like, I loved it because my phone's got the little, what do you call it? Little square that shows me the app, weather app at all times. The widget. They are called a widget. Thank you. And it said it was like currently sunny.

I was like, it literally is flooding. I mean, I just got a little bit wet. Like it wasn't the end of the world. But it did make me. Are we receiving thoughts and prayers for Fletch? And tiny violins. That would be... Thank you.

If anybody's got a spare thought and or prayer, send it my way. Send it Fletch's way. Obviously, it was fine, but I was like, I wonder if anybody listening

has been done dirty by the way they rap. This stuffed me once. What was I going to? It was... I was hosting... I was presenting an award at the New Zealand TV Awards when I was relevant on television.

Long gone of the days. I was about to say, you're still relevant on television. No. And I got a spray tan. And I remember because they always say like check the weather out and wear clothes accordingly

because you've got to run from the studio to your car and if you get wet, it streaks. And I remember I checked the weather app and it was totally fine. So I was wearing like little tiny little shorts and a singlet. And then I came out and it was persisting down and it all ran. And I had to go home and put on a fake tan. It was a waste of like, whatever,

50 bucks or something. I had stripes. The weather app Did you do it? It did me Absolutely filthy See this is what I want to ask This morning 0800 DARS at M

Call us now And text through 9696 When did you trust The weather app And it backfired Maybe it was a wedding Weddings

Oh like you look at the I mean I feel like If I was Having a wedding I'd be on the MetService website With rain radars and long forecasts. I wouldn't be trusting.

But you've always got to, you're planning out. You're planning a wedding well before the weather's, you know, even known. So you've got to always have a wet weather option. But it could be on the day you're like, oh, we'll just put the drinks table outside. Because look, the weather app's saying sun, sun, sun, sun. Yeah, or we'll keep the ceremony outside.

No, we'll set it all up. It's not going to rain. We've got the wet weather option, but it does take a while to move it. And then maybe you didn't because you're like, well, no, it doesn't say it's going to rain and then raining on a weather day. It's like rain on a wedding day. On a wedding day. Give us a call.

0800 DALS at M is the number. You can text through 9696. Did you trust the weather app and it backfired? You were a wet boy yesterday. Yeah. I trusted the weather app and it didfired? You were a wet boy yesterday. Yeah, I trusted the weather app and it did me dirty. Did you have a coat with you? No. Because you trusted the app.

I trusted the app. And I have a brolly? Nope. Trusted the app. I trusted the app. When did you trust the weather app and it backfired? Everyone's saying you're a fool for trusting that phone app. You've got to get yourself the Met Service one so you can look at the rain radar.

I don't know how to read the rain radar. It's easy. If it's clear, there's no rain, but if there's just scattered stuff in different colours, the more intense the colour, the more intense the rain. Now it makes complete sense. If I was going on like a hike, I'd look at that. But if I'm just going to the gym, I'm like, oh, quick.

And also the MetService app is a, it's a yuck app. Oh my God, your throat just goes. My throat was shocked on behalf of the MetService that you would have a go at it. And it always brings up an ad.

You pay for the app and then it brings you, it gives you an ad. I didn't pay for the app. The MetService, is that the one that's just built into iPhones? No.

Oh, that's the one I use. I'm pretty sure you paid for that app. I didn't pay for the MetService app. Oh, is that why they're putting up ads? Yeah. I don't know. It's always like, I Oh, is that why they're putting up ads? Yeah. I don't know.

It's always like, I always just feel so aggrieved when I have to close an ad to get to your weather. Get live weather updates with our widgets. Learn more. Can I get a widget?

Oh, you can get a rain radar. Rain radar. Well, look, it is nice to hear from people that have been done dirty when they've trusted the app. Yeah. It is indeed. Lots of stories. they've trusted the app. Yeah, it is indeed.

Lots of stories. I work in an avocado orchard, so I live by the apps. And I use Windy. Have you guys got Windy? Oh, Windy is so good. Windy's great. Windy's great. Windy is really good.

Windy, it tells you how strong the wind is. Wait, how many weather apps do we need? And it's got really good. I've got a folder of weather apps. Wait, can't we just have one that tells us everything? Rain, wind, sunshine. Yeah, I might open up Windy because it's got really good I've got a folder of weather apps Wait can't we just have one That tells us everything Rain, wind, sunshine Yeah I might open up Windy Because it's a beautiful app too

It's a beautiful app And it's got like Really good like satellite If you're going like hiking Or you want to know What's happening That's amazing Look at this guy

Oh I don't know how to read that Look at these colours The colour code The arrows And the weatherman The arrows pointing That's the wind Yeah Windy is the sexiest weather app.

It's a sexy weather app. It's a sexy weather app. But does it also cover rain? Yes, it does. It does everything. Under a rain tab. Someone said, if we're talking sexy weather apps, what about AccuWeather?

I feel like that's just American. Is that for us? Don't know I also get upset when I look at my Apple Watch and it says 0% chance of rain but when you're overseas it says rain in three days. I know, overseas the weather apps are way better

and it says how much pollution's in the city you're like, I don't need to know that More than I want Someone texted and showed up to a first date in the cutest little sundress, brackets, trusted the app. Yeah, trusted the app. I got caught in such a severe weather storm that I flashed in my cute first date undies.

Did he get another look at those undies later on? No. Well, why'd you put them on, you know? You don't want that to be the same. We got married at Mount Cook last winter for a month before our wedding day. And I believe that's Alyssa. Oh, Alyssa's on the phone.

Alyssa joins us. Good morning, Alyssa. Hello. You trusted the weather app. I did. So we got married at Mount Cook last winter. Beautiful. And for a month before our wedding, every single weather app,

and I check them daily, said that it was going to be raining. And I got used to the fact that it was going to be rain on the day, even though the previous two years on that exact day, it had been beautiful weather. Yeah, but weather's not Christmas, is it? It's not. I was fine on November 5th last year. I know, you know, I just like had expectations.

But anyway, we woke up on our wedding day to almost two feet of fresh snow and they closed all the roads. Oh, my God. Wait, is this good or bad? It was bad at the time because I was completely stressed out. But then they opened them again. So our ceremony was like 40 minutes up the road. So for a little while we didn't know if we could get to our ceremony.

Beautiful. And was it just a bluebird day with snow everywhere? So where we got ready, like in Mount Cook Village, it was just snow everywhere. And it was beautiful. Like the sun was coming out. And then they opened the roads. We managed to get up to our ceremony spot,

which was all bluebird. And then when we came back down for our reception, it was all like windows where we we hit our reception and it was like being in a snow globe i said that you can't i'd love to see the photos for that i'd love to see the photos listen what did you wear like did you wear like a wintry outfit no no i didn't i had no sleep no slaves gotta get the guns out the sun's out guns out guns out babes because we had um we had all our photos outside so we spent an hour outside and um our wedding dresses when i get cold yeah everything kind of tightens up a bit yeah the boobs oh yeah yeah yeah my boobs i feel like

you'd need to be in your mac pack puffer and then quickly take it off for photos and then get back in yeah, totally. We got swan drives while we were walking around that place. Oh, yeah. Nice, nice, nice. Good stuff, our swanny. Alyssa, thank you. When did you trust the app and the weather app and it backfired?

Ah, someone said when I was living in Switzerland as a ski instructor for the winter, it said it was going to snow over a metre in two days' time. It just turned out to be rain and washed away all the snow. That was very sad. Oh, no. But the weather app had built me up buttercup just be rain and washed away all the snow. That was very sad. Oh no. But the weather app had built me up buttercup just to let me down. Yeah. Someone else had a similar situation to me with the fake tan

but it was the spray tan for the wedding. My makeup artist thankfully managed to use some bronzer makeup to cover up the pee looking streaks running down my legs. I'm ex-army. I was in the States and California for an exercise with the US Marines. And we were coming to the end of the exercise.

What did you say? Hot. It would be very hot, the weather. Wow, that's what you'd think, too. You're coming to the end of the exercise. And it was the first time in 15 years that it had hailed or sleeted in the desert we were in. But everybody had only had a basic warm kit, including all the Marines. So everybody was absolutely freezing wet and miserable.

They probably had to cuddle for body warmth. Oh, yeah, that's... Yesterday I wanted to wear my beautiful but not rain-suitable coat. The app said shower, so I put on my boring raincoat. No rain all day, so I looked bad for nothing. Oh, you could have worn your fashionable... That sucks. When you could have put together a more

fashionable outfit. We can't trust these apps, can we? People are talking about the weather app, What The Forecast. They say it's a funny weather app. Oh, I don't need humour in my weather. No, I want my weather straight down the middle. I'm the funny one. I want serious weather.

I want serious weather, yeah. Do you know when it comes to my phone, I'm the funny one. I'll make weather gags. Yeah, you're not the phone. But I know the app doing stand-up comedy. Just tell me, what am I dealing with here? I'd like to see the app's show in the New Zealand International Comedy Festival. Wow, shots fired at this app.

Bloody sell-out show, though. Fresh content every day. What, are they going to come out and be like, it's raining? Hey! And then it starts and you're like, ooh. It's a mentalist act. Oh. It's a mentalist act. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Play ZM. Now, you know my algorithm. It goes wayward sometimes on Instagram Reels. Still deep in the Christian content. I was going to say, I haven't had many Christian Reels from you lately. Because I'm trying to get rid of it out of my algorithm. Because you thought it was funny to watch these people like... All my algorithm is at the moment is because Shada and I send each other videos of like

people making videos about how annoying their partner is. That feels toxic. Why don't you talk? It's just constantly back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. This is what I hate about you. Well, and anyway, so yesterday I was going through my reels and, you know, it's a bit of a mixed bag at the moment and a woman came up and her handle is, what is it?

It's called at the queen of fiber and her name is Marilyn. She's a 70-year-old woman and this is the video I heard. Going for a fart walk after dinner is something that's going to help you age wonderfully. And if you follow me, you know that my husband and I go out for fart walks most nights after dinner. So about 60 minutes after we've eaten, we put on our running shoes and off we go. Go for a fart walk. So she's going for a fart walk With her husband Where the aim of the game Is to

Go for a walk And toot out your farts She's doing this With her husband And so by the time You get back Your farts are gone Your farts are gone

And so you're not Going to gas each other In bed or on the couch She's the queen of fibre So she This is the thing So she must have A high toot rate

Yeah So she Is all about Gut health Oh my god I've been telling Vaughn You've got to high toot rate. Yeah. So she is all about gut health. Oh my God. I've been telling Vaughn you've got to sort your gut health.

You've got to sort it out. So she's all about fibre and fermented foods. Yeah. And tell you what fibre and fermented foods make you tooty. And they will rip

right through you. They will rip right through you. So she goes on these hashtag fart walks, which I just, it tickled me so much. The idea of this lovely couple in their 70s. And she looks like a beautiful, like an old lovely white

70 year old American woman, you know? Like it's the sweetest thing. And she's out there with her husband going for a fart walk and they're just like letting out these farts. And then I was like, that's what a cute little notion. And I looked it up online. It's everywhere.

She's been like interviewed on the Today Show. There's articles about her in like Self Magazine about these fart walks. And she claims that like going on these fart walks not only is good for like bloating and digestion, but she says it reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. And then I was like- Probably more just the fact that she's out walking. And well, isn't it beneficial to walk after like your dinner? Yeah, but I just get hungry and I didn't have enough snack.

Yeah, I was like, burn energy now. Then anyway, there's a very dense article about the fact that the claim of it helping to reduce type 2 diabetes is actually like quite spot on. So go for a fart walk. And then I was like, I go for fart walks. I'll often let Aaron get ahead.

Yeah. I thought you meant when you leave the studio and then you just go out for 30 seconds and just pop back in. I do do that. Without a glass of water or getting into the toilet. I was doing the gala. I was doing the comedy galas over the weekend.

And backstage you could see all the comedians sort of like running back behind the curtain and like finding a corner. And now here we go. Just anyone getting all nervous before they went on stage. A little nervy fart. Yeah. You've got to find a corner.

Okay. 29 minutes away from eight. If you are still working from home and loving that, and you're kind of skimming under the radar of management who want you back in the office, I might be putting a bomb under your seat next. I'm sorry about it.

Working from home, one of the greatest things to come out of the pandemic and people have put a kibosh. Is that the word? Yes. You've said kibosh

a couple of times lately and I've really taken up kybosh. I love kybosh. It sounds like you shouldn't be saying it, though. Do you think it feels racial? It feels, I don't know. So it turns out a study's been done. One in three people have admitted to secret vacations or holidays

whilst working remotely. So working from home. Right. So imagine if you only had to go to the office like one day a week, you could easily do like a five-day holiday somewhere, right? 100%. You could go to Aussie. 100%.

But even if, yeah, even that one day, you could be sick. And then you've got nine days back to back. Yeah, beautiful. I'll come in when I'm sick. I can Zoom in. I can zoom in. I can zoom in, but I better not come in. Yeah, but you don't want to be on a zoom in Australia and then a kangaroo pops by behind you.

Yeah, and gives your location away. Because they're always inside, aren't they, kangaroos, hopping around. I was in Melbourne, what, weekend before last, and we, friends and I, went out with a friend from Melbourne for lunch on the Friday. Yes. And he was working,

and he was logging into his phone and making sure he was active in the whatever it's called, I don't know, the Teams. I think it was Microsoft Teams. And yeah, it was funny. And then he was like,

oh, my boss isn't even online. Doesn't matter, I guess. Yeah. But when a boss comes online, you want to see, I don't know who this is. Let's not put their names. Let's not give names.

Craig. Jeremiah. Craig Jeremiah, the bullfrog in brackets, was active two minutes ago. Yeah, exactly. And so he was at lunch just constantly, like every five minutes, just like making. All the time.

Yeah. By the way, we're totally allowed to say kibosh. It's Irish. Yes, I just saw that. They thought it was Yiddish, but it's Irish're totally allowed to say kibosh it's irish yes i just saw that it's not yet it's irish okay coming from the um the irish kibas right which uh means a cap of death you know put an end to it put a cap on it scuttle it it's gonna be kibosh so the young people are saying no cap, but we're saying put a cap on it. A death cap. Kibosh it. But then, again, my problem is if the work's getting done, who cares?

I'm the same. You know when people are like, all these countries trialling the four-day work week, and they said when they trialled it, they're like the amount of work that needs to get done in this week does not change. It gets done. So if you can prove that it can get done in four days,

who cares? You don't then go, oh, you can do that in four days? Well, let's add more work. And like a lot of countries, if you can prove you've still got like a monthly wage being paid into your account, you can get like a digital nomad visa. So you can be working in so many amazing countries. Bali, darling.

Bali, darling. Darling, Bali. We could be on the radio right now with a beautiful... It'd be three o'clock in the morning. It'd be even earlier. It'd be a horrible time zone. You wouldn't do it just to be in Bali afterwards? No, because your day would be ruined.

Your day, you'd be waking... No, you have sleepies. No, you need to choose somewhere where getting up at like... Hawaii would be perfect. Hawaii, because it would be more casual. How far are they ahead? A couple of hours? Yeah.

Like you'd be starting work at like 7 or 8 a.m. That'd be perfect. That'd be perfect. Because it would be a more casual, how far are they ahead? A couple of hours? Yeah. Like you'd be starting work at like 7 or 8am. That'd be perfect. That'd be delicious. That'd be the show. And then we could like hang 10 at the beach. What about the Caribbean?

Yeah. That would be even nicer. That's sort of like a 10am, 11am wake up. What about Tonga or like Samoa or something? Raro.

Similar times. Similar time. But again, beautiful. You get an hour. Beautiful. Yeah, we really don't have the kind of job that we can just do remotely, do we?

Well, just because we get up so early and we're already in New Zealand, which is the first place. So... Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I don't like this attitude from either of you.

I think it's a quitter's attitude. We've got a couple of losers in here. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Time in Bangkok. All we've got to do is find a place. No, six hours behind. Horrible time. It's 2.39.

You're on the wrong way. It's even worse. You're on the wrong way. Wait, so we'd be starting our show at midnight in Bangkok? Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's not. What about a lovely little Greek island? Oh, yeah.

Now we're talking time in, just give me a minute. Greece. It'll be evening. You'd be doing your show. You'd be starting the radio show at six o'clock. There's a place in New Zealand called Eros. Where? It says current local time in Eros, New Zealand.

Oh, guys, time in Kasteloritsa, which is a beautiful Greek island I went to, 10.39pm. So we're having a late night. Yeah. Okay. I also think you're forgetting about you have to pay for like living there.

And these places are not cheap. Current time in Greece, 10.40pm. Not really what I want to do at the end of the day. Also, you two wouldn't be able to stay sober until that time. What about if we went for a lovely... Who said we had to? We just have to change the vibe of the show. I don't think we'd have to.

It'd be a total vibe change. What about Portugal? Okay. Okay, yeah. I think we'd have to. It'd be a total vibe change. What about Portugal? Okay. Okay, yeah. I think we might have found the golden goose. I'm going time in Barcelona.

It's 9.40. Still a late night, but we're okay because they have late nights. No, it's 8.40. You're not allowed for daylight savings. All right.

See, these people that can just work anywhere in the world live in the dream, eh? Yeah. Absolutely live in the dream. Russia. No. I don't want to go. What? the dream, eh? Yeah. Absolutely live in the dream. Russia. No.

I don't want to go. What? I don't want to go. What's happened there? So I just heard such great things about the weather in St. Petersburg. I think just give it a wide berth for a few years. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Shannon has a flat hack for us.

And I don't know what's going on, but I've received a test. Yes. A test message. A. Yes. A test message. A test message. A test message. Yeah. You sound like a mum in the 90s. It's not quite sure what it's called when you can read something on your phone. Is that one of those test messages? Testers. Well yeah, gone are the days of the fridge shopping list. It doesn't work now in a flat or even living with family or friends. It just doesn't really work because when you're out in the supermarket you don't remember what's really work because when you're out in the supermarket, you don't remember what's there.

And then you're like, oh, God, did Vaughan buy the tomato sauce or do I need to buy another one? Yeah, and then you have seven bottles of tomato sauce. Sharda keeps bringing home tomato sauce. I've already got it. We love tomato sauce. Boy, son. So basically the hack is if you've got a flat chat,

you need to make sure it's named, but most people have a named group chat. So on Facebook or even text, you can do this. But this is why you tested it. If you've already got a group chat, you can make another one if it's a different name. Yeah. So you've got a named group chat. So we have a show chat.

Then I could make a new group chat and include all of us. And it'll make a separate chat. We could then name that shopping list. So you just do this with your partner? Partner, friends, flatmates. Oh, so it's a totally different category almost. So when I run out of tomato sauce, I'll just message the word tomato sauce,

nothing else so it doesn't get clogged up. If then Fletch is at the supermarket, he can pick up the tomato sauce and give it a heart react. That lets all of us know that tomato sauce is done. That's good. Because if you came into our group chat the tomato sauce and give it a heart react, that lets all of us know that tomato sauce is done. That's good. Because if you came into our group chat saying tomato sauce and then we're talking about 20 million other things in there, tomato sauce is going to get lost.

So when you're next at the supermarket, you just read up and check up until where the heart reacts end and then just get those three things. That's good. It's a good idea. Because what happens, what's the punishment, though, for someone that pops into the supermarket chat with a bit of like... Something else, like a funny meme.

Get out of here with your gifts, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's got to be strictly business, strictly sources, or whatever you need. You have one chat for sources. Because you could have like a shopping list on your phone notes, but then whoever you live with doesn't have access to that, do they? So as long as

you name it, something different. Yes. Because we've got, is that what you were testing? Because we've got a group chat, me, Shannon and Karwin, called Girl Math. And then you just put one together which is Karwin, Shannon and Hayley. Yes. So now it's a separate one yeah

so we can still message in the original girl math chat and it doesn't affect but now we have a separate chat where we can talk about tomato sauce yeah okay good good what you need i love that it's such a good hack how many group chats do we have amongst this team oh we've got a lot like there's every iteration basically yeah there's a no shannon there's a no Carlin, and then if someone's away, you just switch to that group chat. The no Vaughn one is spout N-O-V-O-R-N. That's right. Just because we knew you'd hate that. No, I like that.

That's the one wrong spelling of my name on my board. Yeah, we've got one, F-V-H. We have a producer's one. We won't tell you the name. What? Excuse me, what? What's it called, you three? What's it called?

Jared, what's it called? Anti-Defamation Squad. That feels appropriate, to be honest. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Yesterday, we're going to talk about something, a harrowing moment between, for me and Shannon, where we nearly died.

But on the same car trip in which we nearly lost our lives, my phone rang and it was Aaron. Okay. And I did that thing where I put on my speakerphone because it just automatically is connected to my car and I said, hey babe, I've got Shannon in the car. And I did that thing where you just like quickly heads up because Aaron and I have been sort of, we're playing silly buggers at the moment.

Okay. And we're having a lot of fun on the phone and we've been saying sort of horrendous things to each other. This is what two people with acting degrees do. Yeah, we do bits. You do bits with each other. I do bits. It's bizarre to watch.

What's an example? I mean, you said horrendous and now you're showing me all of your teeth. So I'm wondering if you could give us the radio friendliest possible option. Well, I said, hey, babe, I've just got Shannon in the car.

We just finished filming something before you talked to me about wanting to put your... Okay, yeah. You know, that kind of thing. Yeah, okay.

Because we've been doing that. Okay. Just silliness. That's spicing up. That sounds like a bit of spiciness. Yeah, a bit of sill. Okay. Just silliness. That's spicing up. That sounds like a bit of spiciness. Yeah, a bit of silliness. It's silliness. It's just a bit of silliness.

But when I did it, like Shannon laughed, and then we had this conversation, and I could hear that Aaron was being very formal. I have dropped off your parents to the airport. Yep. And they went off well. Okay, great. Okay, well, what are you doing?

I'm heading home. Great. Why don't you just call me when you've dropped off Shannon? When Shannon's not there, yeah. I do love when you're with someone. And Vaughn, you'll do this as well if your wife rings. You'll just be like, I just got a question in the car.

But it doesn't work the other way around. If you call me and I'm in the car with Sade, I don't say, I've just got Sade in the car, because she's like, why would you say that? Because you'll get in trouble. What is he going to say to you that he wouldn't'm in the car with Sade, I don't say, I've just got Sade in the car because she's like, why would you say that? Because you'll get in trouble. What is he going to say to you that he wouldn't say in front of me? I do it subtly.

Do I? No, but you say you call. Hey, what are you doing? Oh, Aaron and I, we're just in the car. Oh, yeah, that's good. That's good. Oh, we're just in the car. Aaron's here.

I never thought about you'd get in trouble for that. Because, yeah, even though I wouldn't say anything about it, I wouldn't be calling to like. No, no, yeah, exactly. like... No, no, no. Yeah, exactly. But rag on her, no. If your partner's in the car with you and someone else is calling and your first words

out of your mouth are, hey man, I'm just in the car with Sade. She'll be like, why? That was panicky. Why were you fretting that they were going to say?

Sometimes you just let it roll out. And I'll just get Aaron to sit there quietly. And at the end, I'll be like, holy shit. I mean, I am the hot girl from the office quietly. And at the end, I'll be like, holy shit. I mean, I am the hot girl from the office. She's very worried about me.

So, you know, I can see why she would be upset about that. Anyway, I was thinking about these moments because I know that this happens. If you don't quite catch it, you don't quite get in there in time, or sometimes you just run the risk of, this person's calling me. It'll be quick.

It'll be about something else. Yeah. I don't need to tell them I'm with someone on speakerphone. And then something slips out. Yeah. I want to take some messages and calls of when someone didn't know they were on speakerphone. From either side, maybe you were the one talking and then afterwards

they revealed to you. Yep. Oh God, you were on speaker and they heard. You can hear it, right? Yeah, the total, whole quality. You can hear you're on speaker. But you might not know, you can hear it, right? Yeah, the total, whole quality. You can hear you're on speaker. But you might not know that someone else is with an earshot of the phone. Or maybe, yeah, you were receiving the call and someone said something they shouldn't and it was heard by someone that shouldn't have heard it.

Yeah, maybe it ruined the surprise. Or maybe you said something horrific about someone. Yes, well, because... Put your foot in it? Oh my God, I nearly... If... I'm running a surprise. I've got a secret with my

mum at the moment that involves my father. Yeah. And we have been close to slipping up this surprise and I did it the other day. Started talking about something and my mum goes la la la! Off speaker. And I was like, oh my God, you tell me

I was on speaker. Is there a thing we could establish as to saying you're tell me I was on speaker. Is there a, is there a thing we could establish as to saying you're on speaker without being on speaker? Like when you answer a call on speaker,

you push the, like a number so it goes. You're coming in loud and clear or something like that. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Or a tone. Or you just say something like, are you there? I don't know if this, you're on speaker phone, I don't know if it's connected. Are you on speaker phone? I can't hear you probably.

Yeah, something like that. And then that kind of says it. Well, we want to know when someone didn't know they were on the speakerphone and maybe they were overheard. Because yesterday I had Shannon in the car and Aaron called and he was on the car speakerphone and I did that thing. I did well. I went quickly, Shannon Shannon in the car and Aaron called and he was on the car speaker phone and I did that thing.

I did well. I went quickly, Shannon's in the car. Don't say anything silly. You always have to give people the heads up. No, I know. Someone messaged just then, their first words out of their mouth if they answer on Bluetooth is,

hi, what's your language? I've got the family in the car. Oh, what's your language? Yeah, that's good. I've done this a couple of times when I've called you, haven't I? I've dropped a few swear words. Because you always ring, you're like, what's up?

Yep. Ethan sees and all sorts. It's how he greets us every morning. It's quite aggressive. Yeah. Georgia. You get used to it. Georgia, you did this.

Oh, I haven't spent like at least once a week. Because I call Haim when he comes back from his trip. Now for the listeners, who is Haim? Haim is my fiancé. Oh, by the way. Your finance. Yeah, also my finance.

Your finance finance. He's also where the Louis Vuitton handbags come from. Yeah, he's a proud purchaser of blood diamonds. Actually,

actually, excuse me, that Louis Vuitton came from my own bank account. Oh, have you known? He's entitled to half of it. Can't drop bloody money on diamonds that size and expect to be getting a Louis Vuitton

out of the same bank account. They weren't that expensive though because they came from... They're very rich. You know. Oh, illegal. Illegal minds. Oh, right. Illegal minds. So you ring your fiancé Hamish. Yeah, and I'll always put on a cute little, hello.

Oh, yeah. It's a bit yuck. You're going to grow up. Yeah. Are you hearing it back in the headphones like, oh, yeah. Yeah, but I'm still kind of cute, though. I'm way cuter when I do it to him. He gets full.

He gets the, oh, my God, I want to die. Does he know I'm back? I want to die right now. I can't confirm nor deny whether he does it back. He does it back, doesn't he? No one die. Does he know it back? I want to die right now. I can't confirm nor deny whether he does it back. He does it back, doesn't he? If no one's there, he does it back. Big crush, it's Manly Haynes.

Oh, no, no, no, nookins. See, isn't that cute? No, it's not. So you call him and do this voice. I'll do the voice, and then he'll go, yeah, g'day, George, so-and-so's in the car. And I'm like, oh, yeah yeah g'day george uh so-and-so's in the car and i'm like oh yeah g'day george immediately i go yeah how you going oh yeah that's the whole thing's awkward yeah yeah

the baby talk with people that's private and to never be put in this room on radio ever again george also living like in an apartment above a major intersection, it is insane how loud people have their car speakers. You always hear it. You always hear people talking. You always hear the calls going through. It's like, people can hear you in the cars next to you. Oh, yeah.

My mate went into graphic detail about his late night antics with his latest flame oil on speakerphone. My wife was in the room, and once he started started it was too late to tell him that she was there, but then she wouldn't leave. I tell you now, the look of disgust from her was absolutely sublime. Men talk about women

this way, do we? Absolutely sublime. And then all while you're looking at your wife just being like, I would never say that. I would never say that. Oh my God, read that top text. I know a couple of people who have been caught cheating as they're talking to their lovers on their car Bluetooth and when pulled in home, it transfers to the home Bluetooth

and their partner hears the tail end of the conversation. Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Jesus, that's terrible. Oh, yowch. And my old co-worker was on a video call in the break room. Her friend asked if she was going to pull a sickie to go on their holiday.

The whole team heard it, including the manager. So the answer is no. I won't be pulling a sickie. Not anymore. No. Not anymore. I'll be filing the adequate paperwork to take time off. Yeah.

My friend called me and admitted she'd cheated on her partner. I didn't have the chance to tell her that her boyfriend was in the car. No, no, no, no, her that her boyfriend was in the car no no no no no she would my boyfriend was in the car he went but he went and told her partner immediately because they were they were close oh okay they're buddy buddies who calls on a speakerphone i've cheated on on on daryl yeah without the truth i have cheated hi how you going i'm good i've cheated on him. I've done it. Aaron's in the car. My partner is a truck driver, and he is 99% of the time a very polite man. It's about two years ago.

There were all the protests about oil and things, and people were gluing themselves to the road. Which does that? Anytime we're in Christchurch, lies down on the tram tracks. Tram tracks. Glues himself to the trams. It's a different cause every time. I'm really confusing what you're protesting.

Well, he sort of says something about freeing Palestine and abortion. I don't know. It's sort of confusing. It just depends on the day. I do a different protesting every day. We appreciate it. Yeah. But I get out of the way before the train comes. He doesn't give a... God, yes. I'm a terrible protester. You'd actually derail it, I think.

Not because you're fat. No, because you're, like, hard. Oh, right. Okay, thank you. You'd actually derail it, I think. Not because you're fat. No, because you're hard. Oh, right. Okay, thank you. You're rock hard. Your muscles... Boing it off. Your bone density and your gut health would derail the tram.

Thank you. Wait, so what about this polite truck driver? People were gliding down the road, and to this day, my very Christian mother and I had to be driving in the car somewhere, and I answered the phone on the Bluetooth from him, and before I could even say my mother's in the car, he screams out of frustration, these effing C words are making my job so much effing harder today.

Now I don't never let it, because my mother was just like. The C's a bit hard in front of a very Christian mother. An old Christian lady. Probably never heard it. Unless the C is, of course, Christ our saviour. She's heard that. Ah, she's heard that a lot. Oh my gosh.

Now I'd never let him get a word in before telling him he's either on speakerphone or that my parents are around. I was at home and got a call from my friend, so I put her on speaker and didn't think to tell her that I, because I thought I was home alone. She then told me that she had gone to the doctor and found out she was positive for an STD and she was going to break up with her boyfriend for giving it to her. I subconsciously walked around the lounge

and realised too late that I was broadcasted to not only my flatmate, my boyfriend's brother, but his girlfriend and his best friend. Worse, because they all know her. I rung my husband and he said, hey, how are you? And before he could say I'm with a customer, I said, I'm on my way home. And my God, there is a poo halfway out. He said, I'm just with a customer.

Can I give you a call back? And as he was hanging out, I just heard the customer hollering with laughter. That is such relationship chat, eh? You do, eh? I'll ring if I'm gonna explode, I'll ring, I'll be like, is anyone in the bathroom?

I am 30 seconds away. If they are, they needs to be out. Clear the room. I'm coming in hot, I'm not even turning off the car. Oh, another one.

I called my husband to say hi, proceeded to tell him that I got my period, how messy and painful this one was. He then told me he had three male colleagues in the car with him.

God, I'm absolutely, I'm bleeding out. Jeepers, creepers. It's like a war zone in here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day, day. It's Antarctica week here at Fact of the Day.

New Zealand's got a very close connection to Antarctica, doesn't it? Yes. We've always got scientists down there. It feels part of us, doesn't it? If you have been in Antarctica... Good morning to our Antarctic listeners. Good morning to our Antarctic listeners. And you've got like a mind-blowing little known fact. Feel free to hit us up.

Hit me up. Stop trying to make your job easier. I'm just trying to make my job easier. You're lazy. You want other people to... You're outsourcing your facts. There's so many facts about Antarctica and heaps of kids obviously get Antarctica as a subject.

They have to do a school. I did. It's all real basic stuff. Yeah. Like Antarctica holds, in frozen form, the world's biggest reserve of fresh water. I mean, that's fascinating. But it's not tickling my fancy.

It's like tickling my fanny. It's not doing that either. Yeah, right. I mean, it's a lot of fresh water. It's like tickling my fanny. It's not doing that either. Yeah, right. I mean, it's a lot of fresh water. You want some quirky, kooky facts that we may have never heard before. Such as the ghost range of Antarctica. Also known as the Kambertsiev Mountain Range, named for Soviet geophysicist Grigory Akambertsiev.

Okay. Perfect pronunciation there. Thank you very much. It's buried. It is the size of the Alps in Europe. Holy! It is a monstrous mountain range. How high are the Alps?

How high is this range? And it's just buried under snow. It's buried under snow and ice. It's 1,200 kilometres long. And at its highest point can be up to four kilometres high. Far out. How is it buried? Massive mountain range.

Just because the base of it is when back in the day, this was another little fact from kids' projects, but Antarctica used to get up to 17 degrees. It went all that change. It'll be back soon. Oh yeah, we'll be back there soon. Oh, fingers crossed. Fingers crossed we'll get all that delicious fresh water and it'll be like filling our homes up.

Yes, to the brim. And our beachfront properties. I've always wanted a pool. Well, you're about to have one. Just have one in the house. Absolutely about to have one. So they discover this mountain range under there. No humans ever stepped foot on it.

Obviously, it's before our time. But it confused scientists. They said as they stroked their bed because there's nowhere around there that is two tectonic plates pushing up that forms all the massive mountain ranges. So they think it's an old plate that has since fused. The mountain ranges were formed,

the plates fused, and then when the climate changed and it became very icy and snowy, it just got completely buried in ice. So the mountain range is under there but the walk to it is so gradual with packed ice that you don't even see the mountain

range. It's buried. That's why it's called the Ghost Ranges. Wackadoodoo. They were discovered in 1958. Wow. So. Incredible. It's down there. And the thing that blows my mind is you look at the Alps on a European map. You don't even know it's up there, but it's 4,000 metres high. Yeah, because they've done that.

Right. Go into the ice and they get a bounce back from the rock. Far out. That's insane. How big's Antarctica? Huge. Do you know when I think of Antarctica, I just always think about it as being like a little island.

Nah. I think about it being the size of like Samoa, even though I know on the map that it's not. But okay, so the elevation of Scott Bay is 10 metres above sea level. Yes. So then you were saying that this is so gradual, you don't notice a... It's just gradually. It's just so gradual, you don't notice a four kilometre high slope.

Well, that's... Antarctica is huge. Yeah. Australia is 10 million square kilometres. Antarctica is 14. So it's one and a half Australias. Wow. I don't know why, because I feel like when you see photos of Antarctica

and it's surrounded by the bases, I always just imagine them being sort of like this tiny little community. Waving to each other. Yeah. That's massive. And because it's always on a globe, you think,

I'm holding a ball here for a visual aid in studio. But if you've ever seen a ball, you too at home can imagine a ball. Antarctica is on the bottom and we only ever see the globe from the side. Tip it upside down. Do yourself a favour and go to Google Maps. Do a 90.

Put in Antarctica. It's got a C. It's got a couple of Cs actually. That always tricks me. And then flip it upside down. Do yourself a favour and go to Google Maps. Do a 9E. Put in Antarctica. It's got a C. It's got a couple of Cs, actually. That always tricks me. And then flip it upside down. It's huge. It's one and a half Australias in square kilometres. Antarctica is the highest continent on Earth.

The average elevation is two and a half thousand metres. So that's as high as Mount Taranaki. But, Ken, it's on the bottom. I don't understand how it's so high. You know, it's just bizarre to me. Yeah. Well, it's massive. Facts. Good facts. Good know, it's just bizarre to me. Yeah. Well, it's massive, so. Facts.

Good facts. There's a hidden mountain range down there. So today's fact of the day is that there is a ghost mountain range known as the Kambutzif Mountain Range in Antarctica that's buried under ice. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Clay ZM. Shannon and I went for a little bit of a drive yesterday. We had to go and film something. And we jumped into the Mazda.

Yeah. I was a bit embarrassed, to be fair, to have people in the Mazda. But it's fine. It was Shannon's first time. She didn't seem to mind. It wasn't that bad, was it? I mean, you're used to driving a, what, a 30-year-old Volkswagen. Yeah, it was way nicer than the VW.

The roof didn't hit my head, so. Oh, that's good. That's good. Yeah, it was way nicer than the V-Dub. The roof didn't hit my head, so. Oh, that's good. That's good. Yeah, she's tall. She's a tall car. Anyway, so we left the building and we turned left and then we turned right onto the big main street that leads up to our motorways.

Yep. And while we were there, by the way, Shannon taught me a game. Okay. That is. Is it would you sleep with that person walking by? No, no taught me a game. Okay. That is... Is it would you sleep with that person walking by? No, no, no, not that game. We played that game.

That just goes without saying. You just play that. Yeah. No, the game was if there's an orange light and you make it through... Yes. The first person to tap the roof wins. Oh, that's a silly game. The last person to tap the roof removes an item of clothing. a silly game. And the last person to tap the roof removes

an item of clothing. She was seducing me, mate. Wow. Yeah, I've always played this. I know. I've always played this. With who? Lads in the car? Like, when I was uni. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And crashed out. Wow, okay. Who brought this game up? Guys? Yeah, oh, absolutely.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they would run an orange on the avenues. Of course they would. And they'd tap her. They'd have their hands up. Every traveller had their hands up. Oh, you lose again, Shannon.

But I did it on instinct to Hayley and then I looked at her like, take off your top. And I was like, what? She said, remove an item of clothing.

Well, it's just removing an item of clothing. Yeah, I know. She went, pants off. And I went, excuse me. I've got socks on. I'll take my socks off. That was a lot.

I would have done watch, bracelet. I did my watch. I kept getting orange lights and tapping the roof. She's like, no, you have to make the orange light. You've got to get through. It sounds dangerous. No, no, no, no, no. Don't be risky.

That's the point. If you safely make it through an orange and you hit it. I'd seen orange and I was like two kilometres away. I was whacking the roof. I was like, I'll make it! No. Anyway, so she's teaching me this game. We're driving along. Suddenly, smash.

Something falls from the sky. What? Yeah. Something falls from the sky and hits our car. And we were like, what? A meteorite? Could only be. We were like what? A meteorite? Could only be. We were like what is that?

Are we under attack? Is it a meteorite? Is the earth falling apart? No. It was a soccer ball. And we looked around. It went boom on my bonnet and then went off and we were like what? And then we looked around and there was

no one on the street. No. And it had bounced high enough to go back over the height of the next car. So it hadn't like come at the car. No. It had come down on the car. And then bounced high enough to travel on top of another car. Was this next to like an apartment building and there was like a tennis court or something?

No, it was just balconies and so I think we were under attack and that someone threw a soccer ball down and it hit my car. Like a proper soccer ball? A bright blue one.

Yep. It was like full size. Full size. Did it dent them on it? I actually haven't even looked. I didn't look. Who doesn't look? I just

I swear I just do not care about that car at all. Who doesn't look? I just... Who doesn't look? I just do not care about that car at all. Who doesn't look? If I had a dentist, I'd just be like, oh, well, bugger. I actually haven't looked. But it was. It fell down. It didn't make a huge noise.

I was like, maybe it's not inflated. Like, maybe it's not... Yeah. It's a bit soft. That wouldn't go through your windscreen, would it? If it hit right in the... I couldn't speak 100%, but if it hit right in the middle of your windscreen

absolutely rocketing down and you're also travelling, it would put enough pressure on to crack the windscreen, surely. Because the roof was in the way and this wouldn't happen if I had a 1971 convertible. You'd be dead, you'd actually be dead. Well I'd also be able to look up and see

maybe where it had come from but the roof was in my way. I couldn't live in an apartment for this very reason. Why? I'd just be throwing things off the balcony the whole time. If I was eating pizza and I didn't want the crust I'd just straight off the balcony. My friend used to live on an apartment

building and he was on the ground floor so he had like a kind of like a deck space or a veranda space. A little patio. And every day he said he hated it. Ciggies, food scraps, socks, like T-shirts. From people washing their clothes or drying their clothes.

And he'd put a wind blower away. Smoke a diary and then go flick off the edge and it's like a real backyard. And he'd just come straight back in. And he just said every day he'd just be cleaning people's shit up from above him. Well, I was like, you know, you hear those stories of when things are dropped from a greater height, you know, the gravitational pull

makes them even more devastating. Yeah. I was like, that could have been the end of us. If that was, you know, it felt like on impact it was from the third or fourth floor. But if that was from, you know, the 20th floor or we were very close to the Sky Tower. If it was from the Sky Tower.

If we're talking about things that happened in the car yesterday, I ran over a possum. Oh, yuck. In the middle of the day, in the middle of West Auckland. Oh, was that a cat? That's what Sade said. She's like, no, you've run over a cat. I said, no, no, no, it was 100% a possum.

Are you sure? The real fluffy tails. 100% a possum. It galloped like a possum. It didn't run over a cat. I said, no, no, no, it was 100% a possum. Are you sure? The real fluffy tails. 100% a possum. It galloped like a possum. It didn't run like a cat. Yeah, right. Oh, gosh. You know possums gallop?

Yeah. They've got a weird gait to them. Yeah, they do. Yeah. I tease them a lot. You tease them for how they run. I tease possums a lot, yeah. You should try that on a larger scale.

They might go back to Australia and stop destroying our forests and birds. Yeah. When your car ran over it, did you nearly die? No, because I didn't swerve or brake. You nearly died. I just ploughed straight through it for my own safety. I just don't know that it's a similar story. It just feels like you had quite a harrowing story there

and he's trying to one-up you. Do you know the world is a lot brighter to me today? Seeing everything. Well, the poss is a lot brighter to me today? Seeing everything. Well, the possum can't be with us today, so I guess there was a death in my story, not just some bouncy ball. Yeah, but the death of a possum and not a beloved broadcaster. Right.

As I said, I didn't swerve. This beloved broadcaster was never at risk. I always laugh about, I have a friend who doesn't work in a public profile and he always tells me when he's with me, he's like, God, I hope we don't die today. I do not want to be and friend. In a car crash,

beloved New Zealand comedian and broadcaster, Hayley Sproul and friend were sadly- Hit by a soccer ball. Hit by a soccer ball and perished. Shannon, you are more than just Anne Friend. Thank you. To me, but to the papers, they'll just call you Anne Friend probably.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Trying to think about the saddest film I've ever watched. The Notebook. Dear Zachary. Dear Zachary. Schindler's List. Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Yes.

Yeah. Marley and Me I have still never watched it, don't need to watch it Yeah, that got me Don't need to watch it Well apparently, according to some research I believe from China

watching sad films can make you more susceptible to impulse shopping afterwards and it's literally the whole it's a short, it's like a dopamine hit. Yeah. Because you have been so sad and emotional that you're like, I need a pick me up. And I would have thought it'd be like a raspberry cupcake. Or food.

They say that people are like more likely to jump online quickly and buy a little like whimsical purchase. Is it because like in a sad movie, you're normally seeing some kind of death or some kind of harrowing event or journey that you're like, well, life's short, I do need that new jacket. Well, it's kind of intense. They say so when you watch a sad film, your sadness levels,

I don't know how you even measure sadness levels, increase by 50% when you watch a sad film, twice as high than if you were to watch a documentary about... How microphones are made. Then sad viewers, especially women, were then more likely to make impulsive decisions afterwards. So if you know you're going to watch a sad movie,

what do you just turn off the router or hide your phone, hide the laptop? When individuals experience sadness, their attention tends to be focused on immediate concerns rather than future oriented considerations. So you're looking for an immediate thing to make everything feel better in the world after

watching something harrowing. I wonder if it would be food as well. Food would come under that as well, surely. But a comfort. Yeah, but a comfort food. Like, you know, when you get broken up with, you're like, well, I've got to eat all the lollies and chocolate and cake and ice cream. They describe them as, this impulse purchasing, as small, immediate rewards.

So yeah. What's more immediate than like, bit of choccy? Mmm, yum. Ice cream. Yeah. What else you got? Cakes.

Now we're talking. Got to pack the bickies out there and some chippies. I got a whole bag of farm bake. Yeah. I was just, I just found this list of the 45 saddest movies.

Oh, okay. Give us the top five. No, no, it's not in any specific order. Oh, okay, right. Just 45 shindlers is on there. Requiem for a Dream. Have you ever seen that?

Oh, heroin. Brokeback Mountain. Oh. My Girl. Yeah. How's he gonna see? He doesn't have his glasses. Fletch,
