I've got chapped lips. Already chapped lips. Well have you got some, I don't like, I'm not a person that likes sharing lip balm. I've had friends over the years that grab my lip balm. I think you might have done it and I let you away with it once. Yeah. I don't like it. Oh.

Yeah, but you're not a mouth kisser either. I don't think we've ever kissed on the mouth. I definitely do not kiss people that I work with. I kiss everyone on the mouth. I'm sorry. Am I just someone you work with? Wow. I work with. I kiss everyone on the mouth. I'm sorry, am I just someone you work with? Wow, I'm in.

You will get a hug though after I haven't seen you for four weeks when I return. When we return in January you will get a hug. You don't share your lip balm with quote

someone you work with. I'm not. That's fine. No. This is the tone of the show Listener I've worked with him many years

And never shared lip balm I don't use lip balm Have you kissed on the lips? No No I don't use lip balm Have we kissed on the lips? I don't believe so

I would have turned last minute Yeah I'm a lip kisser I'm the anti Creepy Entertainer You know how you'd always go To like movie world or something And they'd be like Give me a kiss on the cheek And then they'd go And like steal a kiss Yeah I'm a lip kisser. I'm the anti-creepy entertainer. You know how you'd always go to like Movie World or something

and they'd be like, give me a kiss on the cheek and then they'd go, and like steal a kiss. I'm the anti, I'll go and you think you can get it on the mouth and last minute I'll be like, kiss a hairy cheek. Coming up on the show, the top six Vaughn. Yeah, there's a, parents online shocked that when a kid was coming over for a play date, his parents sent him an Uber.

Popped him an Uber and said, there you go. So they think this is unsafe. That's their argument. Shocked. Yeah. I'm not. I mean, it's weird. It's a great idea of not having to hang around and have awkward chats with your kids.

Yeah. Friends, parents. It's a great idea. You wouldn't put the girls in an Uber on their own. I might. He's thinking about it. I'm thinking about it, yeah. You can track it.

You can look at your phone and see whereabouts they are. Yeah, true. They've got a whole lot of safety measures in place. Plus, you've given your girls those bottles of beer spray, so that's handy. Let's see the Uber driver get a little bit weird when he's got beer-grade mace pointed in his face. They're sitting there the whole drive, finger on nozzle.

Yeah, and I've been slowly dosing them in their sleep, so they're immune to it now. Yeah. Oh, that's good. So they can sit in a Toyota Prius with a cab full of beer spray and not even shed a tear. Yeah. So I've got the top six.

I was just thinking how funny that would be. If your kid was immune to something, like bear spray, so they could be like, what's that? Why are you not screaming? I'm immune. I'm immune. I've got the top six ways we used to get to people's houses in the 90s. Oh, God, the 90s.

Because if Uber had been around, we would have been taking that. Our parents wouldn't have even checked the app. No money for that. Oh, yeah, except 90s. Because if Uber had been around, we would have been taking that. Our parents wouldn't have even checked the app. No money for that. Oh, yeah, except it cost money. Get on your bike. Stick a thumb out. Well, a judge in Ohio has dished out an unusual punishment. So a woman, a 39-year-old called Rosemary, was in Chipotle.

Rosemary. Rosemary. She was in Chipotle. Rosemary. She was in Chipotle getting a burrito bowl. No, I've always called it Chipotle. Chipotle. She was in Chipotle. When I've been over there. Chipotle. I've been to one when I've been in America. It's like Mexican food. It's Tex-Mex.

It's kind of like your Taco Bell. Just another kind of version of that. So she was ordering a burrito bowl and then something happened. I don't think she got enough beans or something or corn kernels. And she hurled the burrito bowl at the worker. She shouldn't have done that.

Rosemary, I'm going to ask you to please remain calm. Now, this was all captured in a viral video, so you may have seen this on TikTok or Instagram. She was first set a fine. What you would get is a fine and 180 days jail and 90 days suspended. What does that mean? Suspended sentence. Suspended sentence means if you play up or it's like pending,

and if you play up, then no questions like pending, and if you play up, then you just, no questions asked, you're going to get it. So rather than that, she was like, well, you know what? These poor workers, and you know, we're seeing supermarket workers now wearing body cams. I saw people at the supermarket the other day with body cams. Oh my God, that makes me so sad. Yeah, like it's full on, the video.

She has been sentenced to work two months at a fast food restaurant. Oh, well, that's creative. So the judge is like, maybe you can now see what it's like dealing with people like yourself and customers that are rude, that hurl stuff at you, you know? Because it's hard work, man. You're on your feet, especially like fast food. It is hustle bustle.

You know when you're in the drive-through and you can hear in the back like beep, beep, like beep, beep, surprise going off. Oh, that, that, that, that. What's the noise when the orders are ready? Bing or the dee, dee, dee, or something. And you're just like, yeah, just hats off if you work in that environment

because they literally torture people with that in some places. Yeah. So, yeah, the worker as well got some money because somebody set up a GoFundMe campaign. They love that. Was this in America? Yeah, it's in America. They love GoFundMe.

Yeah. You feel free. Hey, guys, but as well, just at any point, feel free to start a GoFundMe for me. For you? Yeah. For what? New lip balm? You'll just figure it out. you feel free hey guys but as well just at any point feel free to start a GoFundMe for me for you yeah for what new lip balm you'll just figure it out

yeah new lip balm I'm putting a lip balm on it's not going to last forever you know might need something like that I like it when judges take a bit of creative liberty yeah same

because it's so boring like a fine and going to jail it's like it's not going to fix anything whereas this might kind of teach you a bit of you know you've got to put yourself

in other people's shoes don't you it is miserable when places have to fix anything. Whereas this might kind of teach you a bit of, you know, you've got to put yourself in other people's shoes, don't you? It is miserable when places have to have a sign saying, please be kind to our workers. I know, and there's so many of those now. Begging us to just be decent human beings. Just being decent, yeah. Actually, today, I would like, if you're out somewhere, ordering some food somewhere, just give a kind word.

Oh, piss off. Get out of here. Don't be such a seasoned grinch. Get out of here. Just say a nice, kind word to the worker. What a stupid idea, you dumb idiot. No. Excuse me, we've got a sign in this workplace.

You be nice to Hayley. Yeah, actually. We've got a sign. Yeah, we've got a sign that says, please be nice to Hayley. Yes, specifically. I think you put it up, though. Didn't you put it up? Well, somebody put it up.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Babble. What's Babble? Babble is like a language learning. Yeah. It's like Duolingo. It's like Duolingo, yeah. Oh, okay.

By the way, my Duolingo streak's real long now. Well, can you give us some Espanol? Hola. Oh, for God's sake. Well, worth every minute you put into it. I'm only 100 days in. Give me a break. You're 100 days into learning Spanish and all you know is hola.

Yeah, well, I'm only up to hello. I'm on day zero. Anyway, Babbel have revealed the most mispronounced words of 2023. Yeah. Now, most of these are from pop culture. So they... Well, that's the thing about it. If it's from pop culture, you may have seen it written down

but not said. Sorry, I'm just doing my day today. That was the teacher. El maestro. El maestro. Oh my God, I got it right. Oh, wow. Do another one.

Do another one. Okay, continue. Oh, that was a bit sexy, I got it right. Oh, wow. Do another one. Do another one. Guys, gamifying learning. Do another one. Okay, continue. Mi maestro. Oh, that was a little sexy, wasn't it? Mi maestro. Mi maestro. My teacher. My teacher.

I'm just going to check that. Mi maestro. Yay. I'm feeling real good at Spanish, guys. That would be hot to say. You can't roll your eyes, though. No, I'm so terrible at it. You've got an anchored tongue.

Yeah. Mi maestro. Because you've got to put your tongue on the roof of your mouth. But it's the same as Maori and you can do that with the... No, it's different. It's a different... Anyway, carry on. So anyway,

they put together this list of some mispronounced words from news readers, regular folk, public figures and politicians. Performance. That's one of New Zealand's biggest ones. I mean, yes, they haven't done your general language. Just the sort of words in the zeitgeist.

Okay. So, Nepo baby is one that people have been saying wrong. Are they what? Nepo or Nepo or... What? Neo pet baby? You say Nepo, but people are saying nepo. Yeah.

Oh, right, okay. So nepo baby meaning that you're the child of a famous someone and you are working within the same industry as them, right? Yeah. I'm always amazed when I see, you know, there's lists like people you didn't know were nepo babies. Yeah, right. And I'm always just like, oh, wow, so many people in Hollywood.

I never found that funny video I was telling you about, the Nepo Baby. Oh, yeah. The video of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins' son. He's like day in the life of the Nepo Baby. Oh, okay, yeah. It's very funny. Right.

He's not denying he's a Nepo Baby. I just didn't want to get into finance. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's oldest son, he got stopped in the street by one of those, hey, will you show me around your apartment? Oh, son. Oh, yeah. He got stopped in the street by one of those, hey, will you show me around your apartment? Oh, yeah. Oh, God. And showed him around his, like, student apartment,

and it was, like, this multi-million dollar apartment. Everyone's just like, um, okay. Who are you? Yeah. Who are you? Yeah, but then if your parents are, like, like, Reese Witherspoon's super rich because she produces lots of stuff.

Yeah, she's got a production company. So, yeah, of course you're not going to let your son live in, like, a student flat. Oh, super rich because she produces lots of stuff. Yeah, she's got a production company. So yeah, of course you're not going to let your son live in like a student flat. I think Ryan Phillippe is doing all right for himself. Yeah.

In all. Wang wise. All the last beliefs of his life. Huge wang. Stone of. Did the sun show everybody around his wang too?

Hello. How do you get this apartment? Did you see my dad's wing? Stone of scone. Now that was the stone used during the coronation ceremonies for King Charles. And that was mispronounced? And that was mispronounced? And it spelt scone.

Yeah. And it's pronounced scone. I would have said that, stone of scones, and then I would have put jam and butter and a little bit of whipped cream on it. Padam, as in Padam Padam, Kylie Minogue's song. A lot of people have been calling it Padam. Is it Padam?

Is it Padam? Padam. Yeah. I don't know. Wait, you're nearly going to be on this list of... I'm not a gay man. Right. Padam Padam. Barbenheimer. Apparently there's been... Wait, you're nearly going to be on this list of... I'm not a gay man. Right.

Padam, padam. Barbenheimer. Apparently there's been... How are people mispronouncing that? Barbenheimer. Oh, okay, right. So that was the combination of two of the biggest movies of all time. Now, here's one for the succession watchers. Okay, this is on the list of the most mispronounced words. Yeah.

Tom Wamsgam. Wamsgam. Wamsgam. Oh my God, spelling was very hard. W-A-M-B-S-G-A-N-S. Yeah, I'd never heard that last night. Oh my God, yesterday HBO released their trailer for everything that's coming out next

year. I love it. I love their trailers. So good. House of the Dragons. Yeah, House of the Dragons back next year. I love it. I love their trailers. So good. House of the Dragons. Yeah, House of the Dragons back next year. But two big things to come out of that is White Lotus and The Last of Us. 2025. Oh. Yeah.

And you. When's Succession coming? It's finished. No, Severance. That's Apple TV. Yeah, no, but I'm just asking when it's coming. It's finished. No, Severance. That's Apple TV. Yeah, no, but I'm just asking when it's coming. I think that was one of the ones they kept saying about actor's strike and writer's strike

and disagreements over the script. Do you think we're in for a bad year of TV? I think we're in for a delayed year of TV. I think it's going to be a soft patch. Lame. And the last one I'll share on this list was Ozempic. Ozempic. Ozempic.

Oh, okay. Ozempic. A lot of people are using it and a lot of people are saying it wrong. I thought you were about to say a lot of people are lying about using it. A lot of people are lying. Yeah. I'm going to tell you guys straight up. Okay.

I'm going to inject it in front of you. But see, Ozempic doesn't work for me because I love eating. It's not like, oh, I can't help myself. Because if you see all the videos, my appetite's derailing me. I just love putting things in my mouth market.

You like me. Quoted, clip it up. Clip it up. Put it online. Next on the show, the top six, outrage after some...

Shit, is it? Some parents sent a kid Over to their house Friends Yes And they did it in an Uber In an Uber They said

Put that on the list Of mispronounced words Yeah The Nuber Nuber Nobody apart from You can't just put kids In an Uber

Supervised in an Uber Can't you? Can't you? We put them on planes It's more than Better than what we had Back in the day I got the top six ways

We used to get to Someone's house Back in the day Play ZM's Flet six ways we used to get to someone's house back in the day. Play ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Well, someone's outraged

at another parent's parenting on the internet. I know this is what's happening on the internet now. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Judgment. Judgment from fellow parents.

A mother called Jill said her 13 year old daughter said can one of my school friends come and stay the night and Jill said yes and then waited for the child to arrive so she could also meet the parents. And then Jill's daughter's friend turned up in an Uber and jumped out

and now she's saying it's trashy. And then Jill's daughter's friend turned up in an Uber and jumped out. And now she's saying it's trashy. To put your kids in an Uber. To put your kids in an Uber. So they're thinking it's unsafe. But then, I don't know. I mean, it's not like, yeah. I mean, there have been instances where things have happened with Uber drivers around the world, even in New Zealand. Totally.

Correct. You know, it's all tracked. It's all tracked. And I'm sure if it was a friend, you know, that you went to school with, they're not going 45 minutes. Too far. They'll be going up the road. Yeah.

And your child's probably carrying MACE level, beer level MACE deterrent. Yes, of course. That you've slowly been making them immune to. But then that's wild when you think, like, Beer level. Yeah. Mace deterrent. Yes, of course. That you've slowly been making them immune to. But then that's wild when you think, like, how as kids, we'd just go out for a whole afternoon on our bikes and then just be playing God knows where. Home by dark.

Yeah, home by dark. And you'd just be anywhere. You'd go all around the neighbourhood. Yeah. On adventures. And then you'd start to see the sun going down. You're like, hmm. Better go home.

Is that dark? Yeah. Okay, better go. And now you'd stay out until you heard. Like we had, Dad would whistle from the porch. Yeah.

And that would echo through the little valley. Oh, sweetie, we didn't live on a farm. Oh, yeah. Either. Whistling would have been lost in suburbia.

Yeah, it would have been. Yeah. So did you have a bell? Yeah. I don't know. No, you just went home. Like you say, when it got dark.

When your feet got too cold. Yeah. That was how I always knew I was going to got dark. When your feet got too cold. Yeah. That was how I always knew I was going to go home. When your feet started getting cold and you're like, ooh, it's going to hurt when I get in the hot bath. Yeah. And that would have been frowned upon if sending your kid in an Uber to someone's house. Rocking around until the sun goes down.

Well, I've got the top six ways we used to get to someone's house back in the day. All six of these based on actual experience. Oh, God, good. Number six on the list, hitchhike. It was a real good thing to threaten your parents with, especially if they'd just been a couple of news stories about a hitchhiker going missing or whatever. I guess because you did

live out in the country though, didn't you? But you probably know everyone heading that way anyway. Oh yeah, you'd be walking along the road and old bloody... Mrs. Tuckett? What's her name? Mrs. Tuckett. Mrs. Pickett. Yeah, that's her. Mrs. Pickett. Tuckett. Mrs. Pickett. Yeah, that's her. Mrs. Pickett. Say love to you.

Mrs. Pickett. Oh, if you got to the Pickett's place without getting picked up, you'd be, you know, they'd be like, what's he walking past? You can't do that now. People don't live

in these little small towns. Nah, not as much. Not everybody knows everybody as well. If someone pulls up and says, hey, I know your father, you don't get in that car. It was just different

when we were kids. They didn't have true crime podcasts, you know. Yeah, so we just never heard about these. Yeah, white women didn't know what to do with themselves. We were so bored. Number five on the list of the top six ways to get to someone's house back in the day. Tour de France on a bike

with no gears. I'm talking BMX and I'm talking tens of kilometres. Oh yeah. Pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal. I remember the mountain bike with a lot of gears. A lot of hills in New Plymouth. Well, there's hills everywhere, yeah. Pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal. I remember, yeah, I had a mountain bike with a lot of gears. Because a lot of hells in New Plymouth. A lot of hells in New Plymouth. Well, there's hells everywhere, mate.

Some of us just had a BMX. Some of us only had a Diamondback BMX. I've seen the road to your house. There's no hells. I just had a purple bike from the warehouse. A purple bike from the warehouse? Yeah, it was pretty cool. I loved it.

Did you have purple tyres? Did I have purple tyres? No, no. I always got a hiding of Dad's old blue skiddies. We all had different coloured tyres. We had different coloured tyres, so if you did a skid they knew exactly who. So you'd jump on a foot spike and do a skid in blue and then be like, look, I did a blue skid and then you'd get

a hiding because you'd worn through your tyres. And then now as an adult, you're like, oh my god, my tyres last for years. Yeah, because you're not skidding. Because you're not doing skidding. I still do skids. Every time I jump on a bike, I'll do a skid. You've got to. That actually may be why I had to replace my tires after I lent my bike to you during the lockdown.

Yeah. Yeah. If I see a nice bit of clean footpath, I'm up on it. Chuck an ass out. What? Chuck an ass out. Chuck an ass. Number four on the list of the top six ways to get to someone's house back in the day, cross

country. Again, this may be more of a country kids, but if you knew the general direction of the house you were heading in, you would just literally walk straight across far away. We used to do that. Be like, where are we going? There. And just be like, through this backyard, through a bush. Now I'm in a creek. Then I'm just going straight there, jump over

a fence. You'd go, because I remember doing it once in my grandmother's house. You'd be like, that tree that we can see, you can also see from their house. So all we've got to do is get to that tree, and then we'll be able to see where we need to go from there. That was good stuff. The kids still do that, mind you. Farmers would probably be bloody pulling guns on trespassers now. We just used to walk through and get shocked by the electric fence.

That was warning enough to get a bloody wriggle on. Number three on the list of the top six ways we got to someone's house back in the day, ask Nana for a ride. Oh, yeah. You'd ring up Nana and be like, Nana, you aren't going to town by chance. Cute. I wasn't, but I will. Until she got a bit slow and wobbly behind the wheel.

That was when it got fun. That was when the Daihatsu Mira really stepped up. Got her into second gear. Yeah. All people take a stop sign with a grain of salt, don't they? Yeah. Well, back in the day, everybody just used to go slower.

But you're about to die as well any day. You can't be wasting time at stop signs. Got to go somehow, yeah. Number two on the list of the top six ways to get to somebody's house back in the day, drag a go-kart. So at least when it was downhill, you could sit on the go-kart and just slowly skid down a hill. And number one on the list of the top six ways to get someone's house back in the day. And by the way, this is not acceptable in the modern era.

Of course not. Okay. Yeah. Rollerblades. You used to strap on some rollerblades and away you went. This only worked when we went to the beach because we didn't have footpaths on the farm. Yeah. The road was that.

That road isn't that nice, urban, well-sealed bitumen. It's just big, gritty ash. Oh, my God. That's my favourite kind of road when they do that really tight, tight, smooth. It's like a driveway. Yeah, when you're driving and you've lost, you know, you've forgotten about your road noise and then you get a nice bit of brand new.

Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah. And then sometimes you get the big, like, lumpy road and you're like, nah, I'm not a fan of this. No, especially not with a set of breasts. With the big gravel bits. Yeah. And you're bouncing around. Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing.

That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Now apparently, and I can't, who would admit to this? I always think when we read these manky studies and someone asked me like,

do you pick your nose? I'd be like, oh my God, absolutely not. I am addicted to picking my nose. I love picking my nose. I pick my nose so much. I'm on a ban

because I've been digging a bit hard. You know when you sort of make it so dry, you like get everything out and then you forget the purpose of having stuff in there. That's where I'm at at the moment. So if you see my fingers in my nose, like a kid, smack them out. Apparently, one in five men have admitted to wearing the same dirty undies for a week.

No, that's not. A week. No, that's yuck. Well, in comparison, women change their knickers daily. Yeah, I'm daily. Sometimes even after a gym, I'll put on some new knickers. Yeah, same. Ew, imagine.

You wouldn't keep the gym knickers on. No, definitely not. Wait, so knickers in the morning, different knickers to the gym? Well, I wake up because I'm a nude sleeper. Yeah. And I'll put new knickers on. Yeah, same. Undies, boxes.

No, knickers. And then I go to work in the gym and then I'll get home. Wait, so you wear the same knickers to the gym? Yes, I do. Unless the undies I'm wearing for the start of my day are not gym appropriate. And then you'll change your knicks. And of course you'd always change after the gym.

Whereas you, one of these people that you trust the lining in your gym shorts. He's micrograding his pubes. Yeah, it's like exfoliating your balls. They've never been smoother. Honestly, they are literally polished. I won't take your word for that. Marble. And then I'll just get home, shower, and then new necks.

And then I'll be around the house watching TV, go to bed, take off those necks. And so I'll use two pairs a day, but then always a fresh pair. Always. Always a fresh pair. And that's the thing, you've got to buy a load of undies in bulk, so you've always got heaps. Find one you like, buy heaps.

Find one you like, buy heaps. I'm in the market for a new pair of undies. All of mine are disappointing me at the moment. Oh. Do you know what I mean? Like, either too loose or too tight or too this. Or the ones I'm wearing today are digging in a bit. I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you.

Thank you. Do you want us to start a GoFundMe? For new Knicks? Because this could be your GoFundMe. Yeah, it could be, actually. Hayley's undies are digging in in a really uncomfortable place. Yeah. Let's help out our wahine

to get a new pair of necks. Disappointing because you found that bra that you really like. I know, the bra's good. There it is. Snappity snap snap. Okay, great, yeah. But the undies.

It sounds supportive. It does. Yeah, it is. But yet comfortable. Yeah, good. Do you know what I mean? And often you don't get both. But is it just guys or are girls doing this?

Just guys. Literally just guys. Literally just men. It's disappointing. For a week. And people, women were going like, oh no, I do twice a day. Same thing. Like a gym, if I'm going to the gym.

Some people say morning and night. Now, our friend Kasia finds it outrageous that I don't, that I sleep in little boxer shorts or, you know, sleeping shorts without undies on. Oh, yeah, that's weird. It was a real 90s move to wear undies under your boxes. No, you don't do that. You've got to let the old gal breathe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're not covering it twice. Absolutely not. No. She needs to get a little bit of oxygen. Yeah. You need to air that thing out like a... Oxygen on the gens. Oxygenitals.

Yeah. So some women are responding saying out. Oxygen on the gens. Oxygenitals, yeah. So some women are responding saying, no, fresh in the morning, and then again after my evening shower for bed. Don't wear undies to bed. Especially these guys if they've got active jobs. If you are... That is so gross. Like, you can't be wearing the same undies day after.

That's so manky. I mean, they couldn't have made it simpler. The tradie undies come with a day of the week on it. Oh my God, don't get me started. I know, but the tradies always bring Sunday on Thursday. I know. I know. I am upset. You see them poking out of the top of shorts and you're like, but it's Sunday. Just to clarify,

that's the only time you've ever seen a tradesman's underpants? Yes, I believe. I wish I had seen them more. Right. I wish I had seen them more. Well, you've had a lot of tradies at your house. Do they all wear the tradie undies? I have had a lot of tradies at your house. Do they all wear the tradie undies? So many of them wear the tradie undies. Yeah.

And I'm always like this is a culture. But are they sticking to the day? No. Oh my God. No. Not once have I

seen the right day on the right day. I'm not happy about it. Some people just want to watch the world burn don't they? Is that the saying?

Let the world burn? No they want to watch the world burn. And wearing the wrong undies of the day of the week. It's just not on. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

Hayley, silly little boy, silly little boy. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little boy, silly little boy, silly little boy, silly little boy, silly little Can we just say, Fletch is working us like a horse this morning. We are being belted like two Clydesdales pulling a plough. All we want to do is just yarn and sit back and you are just making us do all these worky bits in the ads.

Yeah, good. He's whipping the whip. Cracking the whip. Today's silly little poll. I love this question. Yeah, same. Because this is something I struggle with because I'm like, well, I need wrapping paper, but I don't want to buy like 10 different kinds.

Do you use the same wrapping paper for all your Christmas presents? Because you know when you see under someone's tree and they've got all like matching wrapped gifts, you're like. It's a bit much. It's a bit much. It says something about them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereas like I'll go, I'll use up a roll. Like especially Christmas is maybe when you're buying for a number

of people. Use up a roll and then you use a different kind of roll and then you use a bit of brown butcher's paper. It's a dad special if you're in charge of wrapping to use every piece of wrapping paper there are. So you half wrap one present and then you use a bit of brown butcher's paper. It's a dad special if you're in charge of wrapping to use every piece of wrapping paper there are so you half wrap one present and then patch it with another wrap.

Okay, you can't do that. I love that and they're of different qualities. Yeah, dude. You've got a $1 wrap on the sides and then a thicker wrap on the...

It's just getting torn open. Yeah, exactly. They don't put too much time and effort into it. Dang, you'll be sat on ribbons. Oh my God, I love wrapping.

I love wrapping but I prefer an eclectic... Who's your favourite? I mean, you can't go past the Notorious B love rapping. I love rapping, but I prefer an eclectic. Who's your favourite? I mean, you can't go past the Notorious B.I.G. For me, I'm an Eminem girl. I'm an Eminem rapper, to be honest. I'm an Eminem or a Snoop Doggy Dog. Right, okay, fair enough.

Shizzle. No, I do love rapping, and I go eclectic. I don't match. Do you use the same rapping pad before all your Christmas presents? 47% of people said yes, 53% said nah I don't match. Do you use the same wrapping paper for all your Christmas presents? 47% of people said yes. 53% said nah, mix and match. Close. Isn't it?

I guess whatever's coming in a roll of three, you know? But people obviously really think it out, don't they? Yeah. Some people are all about the aesthetics. Yeah, to look nice. Rachel said, honestly, whatever's lying around the house, if every present gets wrapped, then that's an achievement in itself. Yeah.

Bit of baking paper sometimes. Chuck it in your bag and then only bring it out on Christmas Day. Yeah, love that. Tinfoil would be a good wrapping paper. Yeah.

That'd be fun. You could literally use anything. I like it when people wrap in fabric. Yeah, I was going to say like tablecloths. Yeah. And you can reuse it.

Like that. But then you would be like, can I have my tablecloth back? Can I get that? Can I get that back? Tablecloth back? Oh, you that back? Tablecloth back? Oh, you know who would be great for that? People who own yum cha restaurants because they just tear those tablecloths off,

get them straight in a wash. Bleach wash. I need to know the going on, the numbers of a yum cha restaurant. They must have a thousand tablecloths. Because they've got soy, chili, oil. I'm like, how are we getting this out? What are they washing it in? A lot of chemicals and hot water.

It's important at yum cha not to ask too many questions. I haven't bought wrapping paper in years, says Kendall, because I keep the ones from presents I get given. So good. I do that. Yeah. You are an environmental queen. But before doing that, I would wrap them in all the same paper.

Georgie says, no way. Everybody uses different wrapping paper, including Santa. Yeah, Santa can't. Santa doesn't always match. He'd have to sort of vertically integrate his business and buy a Christmas wrap making factory.

Has anybody talked to Santa about drop shipping from China? Because he could really... He's anti. Yeah, because he's got the workshop... He's anti. Is he? He's anti. Yeah, because he's got the workshop. He's going to put all the elves out of business. Where are they going to go?

What other jobs are at the North Pole for the elves? He has taken on a few Bangladeshi elves, though. As hard workers. Yeah, okay. It's really added to the North Pole cricket team, too. Yeah, they are doing well. Well, they're going to make the World Cup next time, apparently. Oh, the North Pole. The North Pole., wow. Yeah, they are doing well. Well, they're going to make the World Cup

next time apparently. Wow, the North Pole. The North Pole. They're going to get in there above Afghanistan. And the ICC. That's fantastic. Afghanistan's not happy.

Crazy. Josh says, I use whatever's available. Last year I repurposed supermarket paper bags. Oh, they're so good. That's a good thing and that's a thick paper actually.

That would be a great call. They're from Josh. Nice aesthetic too, brown paper. I like that they're giving you the paper bags and you get your fruit and veg. Yeah.

That's good. I just raw dog mine. Do you? Yeah, fruit and veg, I always raw dog it. Straight into the trolley, straight into the baskets and then straight into the bags of cards. You are so grim. Why is it grim?

You're using too many bags. No, I love them. Because then I put them in the bags in the fruit compartment in the fridge. Yeah, but you eat 29 pieces of fruit a day. Like, I don't eat fruit. Okay. Cameron says, yes, of course it's mix and match.

What am I, made of money? Yeah. Jared Pickstock comments. I know that guy. I know Jared Pickstock. I know Jared Pickstock, so it can't be the same guy. Very popular name. There's a Cozzy Living's cry, so you all are getting birthday wrapping paper.

Yeah. I don't mind. No, I don't mind. I don't mind getting a happy birthday on Christmas. I mean, that's funny. And I think it's funny when you get it on your birthday and they've just crossed out Christmas. Yes.

And it says, Merry Birthday. For friends' birthdays, they always buy my deepest condolences. Is it wrapping paper? No, no, no. It's cards. Sorry you're getting so bloody old. Although weird,

because we've never received a card, have we? Yes, you have. You straight up have. You also, I have no, cards. Oh, yeah. Sorry you're getting so bloody old. Although weird, because we've never received a card, have we? Yes, you have. You straight up have. You also, I have done you cards. For Christmas? Yeah. I'm doing cards this year. Okay.

Did people still do that at high school? That was a big thing. Yeah. Someone would always give every single person in the year a Christmas card. And the teacher. Yeah, and it was all like written and stuff, and you're like, get a life. Nerd. Nerd.

No, says a life. Nerd. Nerd. Um, no, says Shayla. It's not all the same wrapping paper but there has to be an overwhelming theme. Oh, the theme is Christmas. Aesthetics, people. Aesthetics, says Logan. Thanks for today's silly little poem. Jamming business ideas.

We're going to start an air conditioning grill company. That makes nice grates. Makes nice grates for aesthetically pleasing homes. I've got air conditioning. For villas or modern apartments. Came in and shut all these plastic metal grates in the roof. It's a real first world problem, isn't it? Same thoughts and prayers.

I've got ugly grates for my house to cool down. Here's another first world problem. Okay, this is, I just. When you were telling me this before, I was like, you are a horrendous person. I know, okay, I may have been a little bit bratty. Every year.

I've got, it needs background. Every year, Fletch, the minute we finish the show, like, we finish next Friday, hip hip hooray,

hallelujah, praise Jesus, take me in your arms. Cradle me. Cradle me. To sleep. For our entire time off. Yeah.

So we finish on the 15th at 9am Fletcher's flight leaving the country is at 1 20 1 20pm

that same day literally I'm driving him there because he couldn't wait for someone else we're gonna have a mimosa breakfast first

but he's like we're off here at 9 o'clock right and he thinks we're gonna get out south and have a mimosa breakfast and so he's at the airport in the lounge at 10.

Yeah. No, I'll be at the airport at 10. Ridiculous. So in the lounge at five past 10. This guy through an airport is like diarrhea through your knickers. I agree.

Through God. Honestly. Down your leg, in the lounge. I know. Absolutely. Yeah, the back of your knee is the carou lounge

and he's straight, the diarrhea is straight there. Where the little splatters running afterwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. knee is the Kauru lounge and the diarrhea is straight there. Where the little splatters running afterwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm stuck in the undies. I'm the one little bit of diarrhea that gets stuck in your undies. Weird analogy, but I'm happy with it. Yeah, it is.

So that every year forces his family to have... Excuse me. The last two years I've been at home on actual Christmas Day. One of them was forced because of a pandemic and the last time was forced because our friend Maddie McLean had a New Year's wedding. Who has it? It was actually just lovely.

So now he's begrudgingly staying behind and begrudgingly going to New Plymouth. Also, he says that he stayed for Maddie's New Year's wedding. He left the next day after the wedding. He left the wedding early because he had to get a good night's sleep before he got on an international flight. Of course I did. So this weekend is the Fletcher international flight. Of course I did. Yeah.

So this weekend is the Fletcher family Christmas. It is, yeah. Because someone refuses to stay in the country for the actual day. So he makes his mother, father, and brother all move their Christmas forward. No, they still have a Christmas. We just have a casual Christmas. So two Christmases. They made money now.

So he's forcing his family to have two Christmases. Your mum's cooking two Christmas lunches. She retired this year and he's like, have two Christmases. No, we're just going to have a casual Christmas. So two Christmases. They made money now. So he's forcing his family to have two Christmases. You must cook two Christmas lunches. She retired this year and he's like, No, we're just going to have a barbecue on Saturday. So, yeah. You are leaving to go to New Plymouth straight after the show. As always. As always.

Out the door to the airport as quick as possible. Diarrhea down the knee. It's the domestic airport too, so he'll be straight. He's not even wearing undies when the diarrhea hits this time. I've got some time. It's late lunchtime. So this was the conversation we had just before.

Oh, so it turns out my dad's got to have an operation. This is what Fletch says. And I'm like, oh my God. Is he okay? No, it's minor. It's nothing. And then he just,

his father is 70 something years old. There's no such thing as a minor operation at that age. And he's like, ah, it's just something to do with his leg he's fine he's not fine he's having an operation

and he's like so mum's gotta drive him to Hamilton so now he's like this old bastard is putting mum out and this is what I think

and then so I know but this is where I thought it was going at this stage and I'm like I'm sure she doesn't mind and she's gonna drive him up there

wait around while he has this operation and then drive back all in one day and I'm like oh okay'm sure she doesn't mind. And she's going to drive him up there, wait around while he has this operation, and then drive back all in one day. And I'm like, okay, but you know, this is what you do for your loved ones when you find your soulmate. This is what you do for them. And then it hits. He's like, and no one's coming to pick me up from the airport. There it is.

What? The only, okay, it might have been a little bit Brady, but the only reason I mentioned this to you is because I've never flown home and found my way from the airport to home. You're in your 40s. Every time you're like, mummy, I need a ride. Mummy, I've got bags.

It's giving Prince Charles. I've never, ever not got to the airport without mummy. Even when we went as a group. He made his mum come and get it. He made his mum come and get it. He made his mum come and get people. Me, me. Me, me. I'm just like, what?

Do they have like Ubers? Is there a shuttle? Do I get in a shuttle? You're an asshole in a shuttle. I was in a shuttle once and they went to someone else's house first. And I was like, this is every restart for the shuttle that's made. It's not for him. He goes, oh.

I was in a shuttle once, and I was the last person, and I was not pleased. He's a brat. Nobody likes shuttles. I'll do the bus before I do the shuttle. How were you going to get there? Well, I don't know. I guess I just get there, and I.

Sort it out. Taxi. Ask the informationist. Excuse me, my mummy hasn't come to get me. Excuse me, have you seen my mummy? I'm taking a page my mummy over the page. I'm a lost boy. Can you bring my mummy, please,

and see how far away she is and if daddy's survived his operation, please? He doesn't care about that. It's only minor. I do care. It's all right. It's just a minute on his leg. For the record, I do care about that.

We'll probably find out it's a bloody amputation. Oh, it's nothing much. He just had it lopped off. Yeah, yeah. He didn't need it anymore. You know howation. Yeah. Oh, it was nothing much. He just had it lopped off. Yeah, yeah. He didn't need it anymore. You know how old folks get. Oh, it's just minor. Oh, my God.

It's basically like removing a mole. Yeah, they said it was something about a flesh-eating bacteria, but I'm sure he's fine. But seriously, how do you get from the airport to... I don't know. Oh, dear. Merry Christmas to the Fletcher family. Thank you.

Thank you. Which is happening today because your bastard son. God. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. It's the final ranking. Just before final ranking, somebody's messaged in saying they've always dreamed of being your mummy and would quite happily come and pick you up from the airport today. Mummy.

Don't make that face at me. I don't know who you are that messaged that in, but I would say that's not in a way to approach giving someone a lift. I've always dreamt of being your mummy. I'll be your mummy today. Is it possible for a 40-year-old to be kidnapped? Who knows? We're about to find out.

I'm looking for my mummy. I've always dreamed of being your mummy. All right. I'll walk. I'll walk. I've opened up a list of Christmas movies. Okay, this is what we're ranking today for final rankings. We recently discussed this in a group chat,

so I've gone back and found my favourite Christmas movies. Wait, what group chat was this? It wasn't one of them. The Chimu Guns. Oh, okay. Yep, yep. Because we were talking about Christmas movies. Should I chuck out a couple of titles to get the pot brewing, boiling?

Yeah. You've got Love Actually. You've got Bad Santa. You're Home Alone. You've got your Die Hard. You've got your Nightmare Before Christmas. You've got Elf. You've got your Grinches.

You've got The Holiday. Now, Batman Returns is on this list. Yeah, dude. Batman Returns is a Christmas movie. Is it? Yep. Danny DeVito as Penguin. I love Batman Returns. But I dude. Batman Returns is a Christmas movie. Is it? Yep. Danny DeVito as Penguin. I love Batman Returns.

But I can't remember it as being a Christmas. It's set around Christmas. The Holiday Christmas Carol. I will go. I'll start. Alf is definitely the best, because Will Ferrell. What's his face? I just thought it was like, grow up and have some taste. No, Alf rules. That's a Christmas classic.

That one Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell did last year was pretty good, the musical one. Oh, was it? I didn't see that one. Yeah, it was on Apple. It was really enjoyable because Christmas movies, you're like, everyone's swinging for the fences. Yeah.

But it was enjoyable. And I do love Bad Santa. Daddy's Home is funny. That's Will Ferrell as well. Bad Santa rules. Billy Bob Thornton is so good. So I would go Alf, Bad Santa and Die Hard, which I know there's debate Christmas or not,

but it was at Christmas. Have you seen Office Christmas Party with Jason Bateman? No. It went under the radar. It's pretty wild. It's pretty good though. I'd put that down as a watch for sort of an adult. It's adults.

Yeah. I'm going to go The Nightmare Before Christmas is my number one. I've never seen it. It's one of his best. Tim Burton. Tim Burton. Yeah. Because I'd lose my goth bag.

Danny Elfman. Let me guess. Helena Bonham Carter's in it. Correct. And it's all weird. Well, it's stop animation. Predominantly black. Yeah.

Predominantly black palette. Jack Skellington. It's all stop animation. And it is so cool. Oh, okay. I don't even know if she is in it as a voiceover. So I'm going to go Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm going to go with the holiday number two.

I love it. Jack Black, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law. Oh, is that where they switch houses? Yeah. They're in Hollywood. And number three, I'm going to go Home Alone. Oh, my God. Helena Bonham Carter's not in it.

Take that. Who's the voice of the... Catherine O'Hara's in it, though. Is she? She's in a couple of iconic Christmas movies. Because obviously Home Alone wasn't in my top three. Yeah, Home Alone is my third. Maybe it should be.

Home Alone rules. Okay, Vaughn, what's your top three? Well, Gremlins is technically a Christmas movie. And I've got a big spot on my heart for Gremlins. Bad, Bad Santa. Yep. Is that your number one? Oh, Bad Santa rules.

Bad Santa's like number two, I think. I'm doing this unconventional. I'm going to chuck that one in the middle. Yep. I think I'm going to put Elf in third place. Home Alone does rule. So funny. Okay, Home Alone won.

Nah, too stereotypical. Nah, your Home Alone, this is very intense. Jesus, it's not hard. It's not the end of the world, mate. It's not life or death. It is. Just pick three Christmas movies.

What about Tim Allen? Tim Allen. Santa Claus. Santa Claus. Nah, it's okay. Watch it if you haven't watched it, but don't lose sleep over it. Give me three.

What's your number one? Okay, number one is Home Alone. Number two is Bad Santa. Number three is Alf. So Alf wins, I guess, because it's on both your lists. I don't know if I've seen it. It's really good. I think you'd enjoy it.

I'm going to watch it tonight. Okay. I'm in the mood. I think you would enjoy it. Yeah. It's got all your Zoe Deschanels in it. Okay, top three. Number one is Nightmare Before Christmas.

Number two is The Holiday. Number three, I'm going Bad Santa. Okay, so you'd say Alf and Bad Santa. Alf and Bad Santa. Would be our picks. For two very different reasons. Alf, very family friendly. Bad Santa, no.

Not children. Not at all. Do not watch it with children. He is from Weatherwatch And his name is Philip What's your middle name, Philip? Stuart with a U Stuart with a U That's my preferred way of spelling Stuart

Yeah Sharpen to the point Yeah All these E's and W's and stuff No, but it would be weird if Stuart Island was Stuart with a U What are you? A beef buddy No, it's a Stuart with an E W is Island was Stuart with a U. What are you? No, it's a stew with an E-W as a surname.

Stuart with a U as a first name. And my humble but always right opinion. Well, weatherwatch.co.nz, Philip Duncan, you are the man in the know. And we thought we would talk to you because last summer, I mean, the South Island got a summer. The North Island, you'd say, did not overall. It was very wet and miserable. Yeah.

And we've started the, what, we're eight days into December, and we're not seeing a lot of sun, a lot of people. And so we want to know, what are we in for this summer? Is it La or El Nino? What are we in store for? You know, we've got El Nino. That's the opposite of what we had last summer, which means it's supposed to be drier.

And I say supposed because we've only just started the season of summer. And we usually in New Zealand have a spring weather pattern all the way up to about New Year's Eve. I can remember New Year's Eve with snow on Mount Ruapehu back in 1999 and 2000. And so, you know, we can get these cold changes that come through. Frost and summer are also normal sometimes in the lower South Island. In saying all that, El Nino encourages more high pressure. So more days like we're getting at the moment where it might be a little cool in the morning

and then kind of hot into the afternoon. It was frosty this morning. I went to my car and I was like, what is this? Yeah, it's not fair and we're getting lots of complaints it's funny because that you know we're getting a lot of complaints from hawks bay it's been very wet there and then the first day of dry weather uh for them meant rain for the rest of the country and so we got complaints from the other side so it's a going to be a very up and down um you control the weather machine do you

i mean vaughn was joking before about shooting the messenger But people actually do shoot the messenger Oh yeah, every day And they're mostly men over a certain age What? I've been a white man They crack out the typewriter and off they go You're telling me they think they're better than someone with a qualification.

Unbelievable. So at the moment, as you say, we're having spring-like, you know, because we're in Auckland, it's been super rainy this week and now we're promised some sun, but that changes every day on the app. I reckon the app looks out the window and then tells you what's actually happening as opposed to what's coming up. Yeah, we built a rural weather website to get away from the app that shows sort of one little picture

that tries to sum up the weather in New Zealand in a day. So Auckland's a really sort of exposed area for windy sou'westers, which we get a lot more of in an El Nino summer. So when those headlines all came out a couple of months ago about a hot, dry summer, we reacted the other way by going, yeah, but our largest city can be cloudier and cooler

because those air flows come out from, like, Tasmania. They're not coming from the tropics as much. And so Auckland can be a bit up and down, but eastern areas and inland areas tend to be drier. And just the one last thing, this is an El Nino we've never experienced before because not only is it being recorded globally across the Pacific, but we've got this much wetter, warmer than

usual pattern kind of on top of it. That's why we've got another cyclone at the moment. So it's a weird summer we're going into. Because I was about to ask why it feels like it's been super cloudy lately. Yeah, and that's probably because there's more, like we've got that time of year where we have cooler

nights, warmer days. Sea temperatures are bang on average. They've been warmer than average for a couple of years, so a little cooler this year. But yeah, the tropics are very, very active. So this third cyclone, we're only five weeks into the season, and we've had three severe tropical cyclones. I'm very sure that's never happened before.

So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are we getting a summer? Yes, because we've got a lot of high pressure in the New Zealand area. So we still, you know what I mean? Like we're still forecasting a lot of dry weather with this variable of like, there might be a cyclone that pops up somewhere.

It may not hit us though. Like these storms are like a bowling ball, you know, going down to hit the pins and we're a little pin. And so they often miss us. Right. They've got to us, though. Like, these storms are like a bowling ball, you know, going down to hit the pins, and we're a little pin, and so they often miss us. Right. They've got to hit somebody, though. Can we use the little gutter thing, you know, when you put the ramp, put the gutters up?

Yeah, yeah, besides. That's a great analogy. Philip, I'm going to need a tan. I just really, I'm going to need a tan. We've got weddings coming up. There is going to be some good weather, but it just could be all over the show. You can be very windy and cloudy and then really nice, but then also...

Yeah, I think spring. Spring and summer. And what that means is when you're in a windy nor'wester, it can be like 30-something degrees. It could be... And then the next day could be sort of 18. It cools down again. So I think that's what we're going to see a bit more of

over the next month. But I've been washing my plastics. Now, I thought I was sorting out the climate change issue. That's incredible. Now, Philip, as a white man in his 40s, I feel like I need to tell you you're wrong, but I don't know why or have a better solution. As you get older, you'll figure it out.

You'll just start complaining. Cool, cool, cool. All right, yeah, sweet. Okay, so summer is coming, but'll figure it out. You'll just start complaining. Cool, cool, cool. Great, yes. Sweet. Okay, so summer is coming, but it might just be a little bit up and down. Yeah, old crank machine

going up. Slowly getting going. It'll get there. And I want it, by the way, I had a terrible summer last year because I had to work through it. So I want it to be

just as settled as you guys do. Well, thank you so much for that, for the insights here, Philip Duggan. Yeah, appreciate it. weatherwatch that, for the insights there, Philip Duggan. Yeah, appreciate it. Weatherwatch.co.nz for all year out weather info.

Thank you so much, Phil. No worries. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Bye. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. There's a box in my garage, and it's full of weapons.

Okay, how? full of weapons. Okay. How? Full of weapons. My father-in-law is... Oh my god, is this the weekend? Is he moving in this weekend? No, next weekend. Okay. Did you hear my neck crack? Okay. I did, yeah. Stress. I can also hear your

inner monologue. I'm having this connection. I'm hearing it. I'm sorry about the language. Oh my god. I'm sorry about the language's so weird. I'm having this connection. I'm hearing it. Are you going to say it? Yeah. I'm sorry about the language. Oh, my God. I'm sorry about the language in my head.

I never thought this would happen to me. I'm so excited for this. He started moving some things in, and he said to my lovely patient wife, you need to take this box. This is a box I've packed up all my weapons now is he in their military that when he went no no no no no no no no no no no you've met him have you met him yes i have i'm just nothing about this man says military no i'm just trying to figure out what what need for weapons when he went back he's tight i always when i'm about to

tell you we moved to thailand i have to tell you he's Thai. Yeah, because otherwise. Because you're imagining. Someone's dad or uncle moving to Thailand. Yeah, because when people meet Sade and she says she's half Thai, everyone assumes her mother's Thai. Right. But her father's Thai. Yeah.

So when I say he moved to Thailand, he's not like creepy white guy. Yeah. Who hits 65 and he's like, I'm moving to Bangkok. He moved back because his family and stuff were there. Yes. So when he moved back to 65 and he's like, I'm moving to Bangkok. He moved back because his family and stuff were there. Yes. So when he moved back to Thailand, he's like, Vaughn, I need you to hold on to this bag. And I opened it and it was cables from the 80s.

Like cables? Cables to connect printers. Oh, Aaron's a cables man. I need you to hold on to this bag. Oh my God. What are these cables for? He's like, you never know when you're going to. He's like the opposite of Confuci you're gonna, he's like,

he's like the opposite of Confucius. Confucius is a very wise Asian man. My father-in-law, full of insane sayings. You never know when you're gonna need a cable to connect a dot matrix printer. Yes, in 2023. You need to just put them in the bin.

Yeah. I did. I started like throwing out, I was doing a clean out and I came across this bag and I was chucking out the cables. I got to the bottom and the bottom of that bag, there were throwing knives,

ninja stars and homemade nunchucks. Can I come round and throw a ninja star? I've always wanted to throw a ninja star. There's a way to throw it though, because I'd just be like, meh. And it would just fall flat on the wall. No, you hold it in your fingers. I've practised.

And you flick it. It's all in the wrist, baby, with your ninja stars. And then you look down and it's in your shoe. That've practised. And you flick it. It's all in the wrist, baby, with your ninja stars. And then you look down and it's in your shoe. And you're like, ah! And it's slipped through your fingers? That was years and years and years ago. Oh, yeah, OK. And Sade said, back in the day, he hasn't done it for a while,

but back in the day, he used to bring stuff back from Thailand. Just let us carry on. Are you allowed to bring back? You remember, because I brought back a knife from Thailand. One of those knives where you do it and it switches. It goes, ha! Yeah, illegal. Illegal.

Illegal. Same with... Only illegal if you declare it, though. No, that's not how it works. It is illegal. I'm sorry, are you a customs officer? Yeah, anything to declare? Yeah, I got this.

Flick, flick. He doesn't have that. I don't know, because I haven't gone into this new box to see what's in there. But I tell you what's in there. I believe they're called a gherka. A gherkin? No, no, no, no. A burka?

No, not a burka. Is that a gherkin wearing a burka? A gherkin. A burkin.ka. A gurkin? No, no, no, no. A burka? No, not a burka. Is that a gurkin wearing a burka? A gurkin. A burkin. What's a burkin? No, that's a... A burkin is a bag. A murkin is a purik wig.

A gurkin is a delicious pickle. A burka is a covering. A burka is an item of clothing. Yep. A gurka is... No, okay. A gurka is... Is that a girl jerk?

Who carries this knife. Okay. A gurka is a, no, okay, a Gurkha is. Is that a girl jerk? Who carries this knife. Okay. A Gurkha is a highly trained, dedicated, and disciplined member of the Nepalese army. Right. But your father-in-law has never been in the military. He's not even a. He's not Nepalese either.

I would describe him as a very frail and passive man. Wow. A gentle. That's a better way of putting it. A gentle man. He's not physically intimidating at all. No, no. Slight.

If you'll excuse my pronunciation, the knife is a kukri. K-U-K-R-I. Kukri. A national weapon of Nepal. Why does he have ninja stars in this weapon? Traditionally serving the role of a basic utility knife for the Nepali-speaking Gurkhas. But has become like, you have to earn this knife now.

Oh, right. To be in the Nepalese army. You don't just get these willy-nilly. And he just got one at a Thai market or something. And he's got one. Okay, of course he does. And it's in my garage. In a box of weapons.

Now, and that, and I said, what's going on here? Yeah. And Sade said, this is just his collection. And I said, what's he doing with them? He takes them out and polishes them in and admires them and then puts them back. But what? For what? I get collecting things, right?

We collect things. But you've got to have them out and enjoy them, not just sort of have them in a box. This is his version of like an old woman that collects teaspoons and she'll take them out, polish them, put them back. And put them away. In their little boxes and put it in a box. Okay, so now that he's living there and you've got these in your garage,

if there was a home intruder who intruded with force. Ninja star them. Would you reach for the ninja stars? I'd have to go to the garage and open the box and sort through. They don't like to wait home intruders. Maybe you could keep a little star under the mattress. Just the one little star. One little star.

You don't want that cutting into the mattress or while you sleep you roll onto your ninja star. I was going to put it between the mattress and the base. Yes, good idea. But then it'll be like that thing. Stick your ninja star. I'm, I was going to put it between the mattress and the base. Yes, good idea. But then it'll be like that thing, you stick your fingers in, you're going to get,

and then a ninja star goes between your finger and the nail. And then you're like, and then you say, wait a minute, home intruder. And he's like,

what have you done? I'm like, a ninja star's gone between my finger and my nail. And he's like, and you're like, I know, I know, I know.

And then my elderly father-in-law flies in with some Nepalese blade and is just like, stab. And I'm like, okay, it paid off. Wild. It's crazy that you have these. It really is. Yeah.

Oh, you're appreciative of the choir. It's crazy, but I do want to play with them. I've got lots of axes, but I use them. To chop wood? I love axes. I would say if I was going to collect one thing, it would lots of axes, but I use them. To chop wood? I love axes. I would say if I was going to collect one thing,

it would be an axe, but I chop things with the axe. This has suddenly become a very dangerous garage. With your axes, you know. Oh, a very fun garage. Yeah, well,

it's a fun garage. It's a fun garage. Yeah. Well, I don't even know what else is at the bottom of that box. Yeah, right.

I am imagining there will be some illegal things. I just tried to Google are ninja stars illegal, but there's certainly a large list of weapons that you cannot have in your suitcase or carry on or

bring into the country. As long as you don't declare it. That's Hayley, that's not a thing. That's the loophole. So if you guys want to play Ninja Turtles, all we need is a stick for Donatello. I'm pretty sure there's going to be the side. I want to be the pepperoni one. I'm just going to have to ask you which one you mean by the pepperoni one.

Yeah, pepperoni. Mario? Yeah, I want to be Mario. No, Mario's not in the Ninja Turtles game. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Hey, it's me, Mario. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, please don't spoil this for me

because I've been watching Squid Game The Challenge, which is the reality show based on Squid Game. And the final was released last night and I haven't watched it yet. Right. Have Netflix been dripping it? No, they did a mass dump and then dripped the final. Right, okay.

So it was like they thought they were done and then they were like, there was another little one. Right. Had to go back. Had final. Right. Okay. So it was like, they thought they were done and then they were like, there was another little one. Right. Had to go back. Had to go back. Okay. And did they have to wipe again?

Yeah, they had to wipe again. Yeah. That's annoying. Anyway, so the final's out and I haven't watched it yet. So I'm just trying to like,

stay off the internet because I've loved watching it. I thought I would hate it. Because I was reading, and like, I don't know who won either. I haven't seen any of the episodes yet, but depending on who wins, they won either. I haven't seen any of the episodes yet.

But depending on who wins, they might have to pay a lot of tax with the prize money. Because it's filmed in the UK, but it's majority American cast. So if you are from the UK and you win like prize money, which I think is the same here, like winning a lotto, you don't pay tax on it. Whereas in America, even when you win a lotto or any game show money on TV, you have to pay a heap of tax. Yeah, and so the prize money for this show is the biggest in reality history, $4.56 million. And if you're from America, you're going to lose about nearly half of that.

Half of that. Which is still a lot of money from a reality show. Yeah, for sure. So they're casting for the next season of it already. It's been renewed. Oh, okay. So you go on and it says, do you have what it takes to win? Reach out.

So there's US casting, UK casting, global casting. Clicking the link. Right. Because there was Australians? There was a couple of Australians, a few Poms. But no Kiwis. No Kiwis,

but there are some, because there's 456 contestants to start, but God, they culled them quite quickly. Yeah. And you didn't really meet them all. Do you know what I mean? They kind of would have highlighted

the people that pop out a bit more. Every now and then the camera pans, you're like, who the hell is that? We're on episode eight. Who's this guy? I mean, there were 400 people. Yeah, so some of them kind of go under the radar.

How far will you go now? It's your chance to take part in Netflix's biggest ever social experiment. Unscripted show turns the script world of the drama into real life. Huge cash prize. Apply now. So all you have to do to apply

is put in your name, your last name, your email, date of birth, country, nationality, add a password. Vaughan, 41, New Zealand. Do you have to put a photo? You upload a video. Yeah, a video. Please upload a one-minute video telling us about yourself, why you want to be on Squid Game, the challenge,

what your game plan would be, and what you would do with a huge $456 million dollar cash prize if you won i would love 4.4 whatever million dollars but is it bad i couldn't i would not go on a show like oh i just could not do a show like this you'll watch this and you'll go no because yeah this it's part strategy right like part gameplay like you've got to play the games and you need a little bit of like strategy and strength and whatnot, but not too much. Then there's the kind of random chance games. Right.

I hate that because it's out of my control. Yep. Then there's a whole bunch of social stuff in there because they live in the bunker rooms like they did in the Squid Game show. No, I don't want to be No, it's too many people. And then they add these new challenges in which it's like you've got to vote for this person and this thing and alliances and stuff and that's when I was like, I don't want to be, no, it's too many people. And then they add these new challenges in which it's like, you've got to vote for this person

and this thing and alliances and stuff and that's when I was like, I couldn't do it. Yeah. I just couldn't do it. Don't look at the text machine. Somebody,

people have been ruining the winner. Why would you do that when I've specifically said, please don't spoil it for me? Should I give out their phone number? I'm closing it.

Should I give out their phone number? No, because you've given out someone's phone number. And everyone can text them and ruin No, because you've given out someone's phone number. And everyone can text them and ruin their day. You've given out someone's phone number before, and what happened? We were fined.

And we were hauled in front of the PSA. Thank you for offering to do that for me, for somebody who tried to spoil my day. It was like when I said that I don't like the flappy insects that are attracted to light, and then the text machine blew up with people just saying the word because I can't say the word. How nasty. Do you want a punch in the balls? What are you doing? insects that are attracted to light and then the text machine blew up with people just saying the word because I can't say the word.

How nasty. Do you want to punch in the balls? What are you doing? Who said that? I don't know why. Before the day is through, I'm going to punch you in the balls. I just said it. Well, prepare your balls to be punched.

Anyway, you had this coming. I did. You and them balls had this coming. Yeah. Well, if you want to be in Squid Game season two. The challenge, you can apply for it. Somebody just messaged in. They applied last night for the next season because they for it somebody just messaged and they applied last night

for the next season because they finished it loved it and were just like I can do that for some people it would be right up their alley it doesn't appeal to me

no neither it's like Celebrity Treasure Island no offence I love it like lots of people all my friends have been on it and stuff and they're like

it was the best thing I ever did I'm like I want to earn four and a half million dollars the old way laundering money for gangs I was going to say I thought you were going to say hard work but laundering money how much hard work would it take to earn four4.5 million the old way, laundering money for gangs. I was going to say, I thought you were going to say hard work, but laundering money?

How much hard work would it take to earn $4.5 million? An impossible amount. You should just try being a Nepo, baby. It's so easy. Yeah, but I don't want to own a finance company or be a real estate agent. Dairy farming's hard work. Let's do that laundering thing.

Play Zeddy's Fletch for the Daily. Play Zeddy's. I don't care Let's do that laundering thing My father is a good man He is a very good man He was a stern man When we were growing up But he's softened In his old age somewhat Yep Looks like the four square guy

Much more so When he was younger Looked like the Four square guy Cute And then he looked like Red off that 70s show and everyone called him red.

Yes, he does. Like at the end of high school everyone called him red. You're very close to looking like him now. I'm very much, very much looking a bit more like him

as I age. And he famously, in the neighbourhood, if anybody drives past and it drives my mum nuts, especially he had a pacemaker put in and they said, don't lift your shoulders,

your arms up. What happens when you lift your arms up? It pulls, like before it all settles, it's like attached to you. So if you throw an arm up, it could rip it off. It's got to like settle. But he's got this habit of he sits, where he sits at his dining table, he looks out and he can see the road.

Yeah. Like the 180 view from there. And if you see someone at the car he knows, he'll be in the middle of a conversation with you. And he runs out of the front deck and waves to everybody. Like a dog, like a golden retriever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He waves, got a golden retriever.

He'll be out for the, how long is he not allowed to raise his arms for? No, no, no, he's back in the waving game. Because I was going to say the summer volleyball season's here. Oh, you know, he'll be back. And you know he's great at the net. Great on the net. He rocks a bikini too. He looks so good in a bikini.

Yeah, he really does. Why is there a guy outside the studio polishing the concrete? I don't know, but I want to go with it. I know, but there's bigger fish to fry. Do you know at school when the cleaner goes through with that machine, the circular machine? Polishes the lino. And does the lino?

Yeah. He's doing that, but with the concrete. It looks like a lot of fun. But the concrete looks fine. I don't think the concrete looks that bad. Oh, no, it's removing the green. Oh, my God, it's so mossy. Oh, my God, yeah.

It's definitely needed a paint. I hope he's making a time-mix, because I love watching the time-mix of people doing this. No, he doesn't have a tripod up. He could have a whole Instagram account for this. He's missing, yeah, he's missing some followers. He's got a drone with a lot of batteries. Should we write a note and put it on the window?

No, point at that green bit there and enter the green bit there. No, no, no, he's doing it. He's going back and forth. See if we can get a thumbs up out of him. Don't ignore us. That's a water blaster attachment to that. It's obviously not listening to us. Are you listening to us, sir?

If he's listening on iHeartRadio in the 30-second delay, he's probably just about to start hearing us. You will give it 30 seconds and he'll turn around. He's probably enjoying the story we were telling 30 seconds ago about my dad always waving to people. Hey, hey. No, he's not looking at you. Look at me.

Hayley's waving at him like my father waves at people. No, he's not listening. That's embarrassing. It's embarrassing for everybody. I'm trying to get his attention by lifting my arms. Arms above your head. Well, he's back in the waving game and he also... I got a

head flick. I got the New Zealand hello. The old eyebrows. He's got both hands engaged in this concrete washing. That was thrilling. So, my father waves to everybody when they go past and I would say it was probably 15 to 20 years ago, he adopted a high-vis exclusive on the farm,

high-vis outerwear. Okay. Always in a high-vis polo. Yeah. And in summer, he'll go for a high-vis singlet. Now, I said, is this so if you die down the farm, mum can spot whereabouts your body is as a joke? And he said, yep, it's part of it.

I don't want your mother out there looking for a long time. Yeah, where's the orange lump? Convenient, there's his dog. Just imagine your mum's trying to find your dad somewhere dead on the farm and he's in a camo outfit. And she's like going off to nobody because he's wearing camo.

You made it bloody hard. Where is he? Bloody hell. Oh, he's dead. Is he going to be right? She angered him for dying. And he didn't clean the cupboard out like he said he was going to. That's on me now, is it? Yeah.

I have to get someone else to do that. So he adopted exclusive high-vis. Oh, yeah. So in June when we went to LA with them, my family, when we went, we made a deal. We were all going to buy a Hi-Viz. So when we got off the plane, we'd all be in Hi-Viz. That's not how the song goes.

Hopped off the plane at LAX with some Hi-Viz. And a cardigan. And a cardigan. Yeah. In case it was breezy. Now, I bought this Hi-Viz polo, the same one he buys. Yeah. And I put it on on the plane.

I was like, this is comfortable. Lightweight. This is lightweight. It breathes. It's nice. It's almost a sweat-wicking material too, isn't it? It is, yeah. It draws it away from the body, but it breathes.

And so when I got home, Sade put hers in the clothing bin. I just want to just pause to note that Vaughan's trying to tell the story, but he's also trying to watch the guy buff the concrete. Yeah, because he just hit the cranes. I can see your eyes. He's hitting all the moss, the algae. I don't know if that's... I think personally he should have sprayed before he...

No, because the brushes are getting it. I think he might have something in it. There'll be a chemical in the water. We're telling eight stories at the same time here. And I rate people's ability to keep up. People, yeah, this is how conversations work. They tell you in radio school people need one thing at a time,

but that is assuming everybody is dumb. And people aren't dumb. Yep. And you did take your medication this morning, but this is just all happening in real time. So. Back to you. I don't know if I can go back to the story.

It's so mesmerising to watch somebody claim. So badly. I want that machine, actually. I don't want to get his go back to the story. It's so mesmerising to watch somebody claim. So badly. I want that machine, actually. I don't want to get his attention again. I want one. Yeah, it's a mirrored window, Hayley. So yesterday, the other day on the farm let, I needed a shirt to wear outside,

and all my farm shirts were in the wash, so I put on the high vis, and it reminded me. I was like, this is good stuff. It's breathable. This is good. Great for if you were going to say water blast the concrete. Really great looking attachment. Because he's not in high viz. I can barely see him. I know. He should be in high viz

as it works. So I put it on and I said to Shadad, I'm going to buy some more of these. And then yesterday on the way home I stopped and I bought four more. Oh my God. You don't need them. They were on sale. They were on sale. Gym tops. That's what they are. They're just gym tops and then they don't look They're brash. Would you go to the gym in a high-vis?

No. And so I was relentlessly mocked by my wife for my high-vis polo. And then, like, on her Instagram story, she's making fun of me that I'm hard to spot even though I'm an absolute beacon of orange yesterday. In the kitchen. I've got a yellow one today I'm going to put on when I get home. Got some work to do.

And then she said, oh, I won't lose you. And then I get a text when I'm out in the paddock doing something with the cows and she's like, where are you? You were the one who was just mocking me for my high vis on our small block. And if she had looked out the window, she would have seen an orange beacon moving around. She would know exactly where I am. So you're a high-vis man

I'm a high-vis man I'm fully converted I'm fully converted And I say It's a good You think you don't look good In high-vis And then you put it on

And you're like Actually that's not bad Aaron got one Because one of our builders Left it behind And Aaron got cold one day And chucked on one of those Sort of you know

High-vis With navy blue jumpers Yeah It's hot It was kind of hot It's hot Yeah Because it made me feel Like he was a tradie Yes You know that that is And tradies Very much with navy blue jumpers. Yeah. It's hot. It was kind of hot. It's hot. Yeah.

Because it made me feel like he was a tradie. Yes. You know that that is. And tradies. Very much. What would my high-vis colour be? Pink. Pink. Oh, really?

Yeah. Pink. I thought I'd be yellow. I thought I'd be yellow. Road worker pink. No, you can't. You wouldn't be a yellow. It's not right for you.

Orange at a pinch. Pink is your go-to. I thought you were orange. You're orange. Yeah, I'm orange and you're yellow. I'll be yellow. You'll be pink. Okay. No one's green, eh?. Orange at a pinch. Pink is your go-to. I thought you were orange. You're orange. Yeah, I'm orange and you're yellow. I'll be yellow. You'll be pink. Okay.

No one's green, eh? We don't do green. Nobody wants a blue highlighter. Blue. Because blue doesn't highlight. It doesn't come. High-vis doesn't come in blue for. Like, you might get a vivid.

A highlighter. A highlighter at work. I've got to wave in a headlamp. Stop waving at him. He waves at you twice. Now he's doing wonky lines because you're waving at him. I just wanted to let him know he's doing a good job. Play.

ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day the world's most expensive sushi Oh, because man, there's some bougie sushi I follow a sushi chef who does like, you know, like the sushi that probably we would eat and then he does really like strange undersea sushi that I don't even know what it is. Undersea. No, not quite.

Oh. I think we all agreed that that accent was problematic in that film. In the first one it was because it was a white person doing the accent, but in the recent remake it was someone of Caribbean descent doing the accent. Okay, that's good. I've got a picture. How much are we talking for this sushi? What are we talking here?

Well, it's the world's most expensive, officially recognised by the Guinness World Record. I'm going to show you the plate. This is the actual plate of sushi. So you've got sashimi. Okay, so this is a plate with a variety of sushi pieces. It's a beautiful stone sort of a platter. Is that at some fancy restaurant?

It's at Sushi Kiramon, a restaurant in Osaka, Japan. Oh, okay. That whole plate looks so yum. I love sashimi so much. Kuami omakase course comprises of 20 pieces of sushi.

That costs in New Zealand dollars. A guess, please, ladies and gentlemen. $3,000. My sushi yesterday was $14 because I got some of the bourge pieces. And you know, they add up. Mine's usually about $10 when we get out. Yeah, mine's always $30. What?

You know, man, I buy too much. He loads the plate and he gets one of those little rice pockets. And under the mats in my head, I'm like, two, four. And this one doesn't have a price. I'm going to assume two, but it's like eight. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I want one with the golden balls on top. A couple of those. A couple of skewers.

Have you ever been to a sushi train? They get you. Dude, the sushi train is the best business model that there is in the restaurant world. Yeah. The best. Because you get carried away. The blue plate, you're like, I only want the is in the restaurant world. Yeah. The best. Because you get carried away. The blue plate, you're like,

I only want the ones on the blue plate. Blue plate's $6. I know. And they're always so much more expensive. But it comes around on a train.

I know. So it's better than sushi because there's a mechanism involved. I did a sushi bullet train once. Couldn't even get anything off it. Did you just put that one in there? He's there. Chopsticks poised.

And it would be like, and you were like, no. 300 Ks an hour. You'd lose a hand. God. Well, you were starving when you left and you paid up the ones. He was absolutely famished. I stand on a sharp corner of the bullet train sushi with my mouth open. Yeah.

Hoping for a derailment. Chuck a couple of stones on the track. Because it's free. Sushi is free in a train derailment. Stop. Stop. Trying to put soy sauce on top as it's going. Oh, my God.

Stop. Oh, my God. We simply must derail a sushi train now. Clean up crew. Clean up crew is just someone going... Tragedy. Oh, gosh. Okay. Have a guess at the price. New Zealand dollars.

$1,000. Okay, you're $1,000 locked in for $1,000. I said $3,000. $4,000 current New Zealand dollars for that platter of sushi. So this is like some kind of five-star restaurant. It is just a really well-renowned sushi restaurant. It's a very expensive restaurant to go to on a whole. Because when you watch proper Michelin-star sushi chefs prepare sushi,

what was the documentary where they followed the sushi? St. Pierre's in Japan. No, it wasn't St. Pierre's. St. Pierre's, a French man in Osaka. In Osaka. But when they do it, the way they do it, their hands are moving like. Oh, it's an incredible art.

Yeah, I know. Yeah. Okay, so the reason it's expensive is some of the ingredients are very hard to come by. Oh, okay. There'll be a lot of fish eggs in there. Uh-oh, is there something? Is there whale? It's not called whale, but I'm kind of trying to read between the lines.

Oh, right, okay. Some of these ones, I'm like, that. They're like warning. Yeah, right. Okay, number six on the list is the say whale tail meat. So there is whale. Actually, now that I've found it, plainly written right there. Okay, okay, right. Okay, number six on the list is the say whale tail meat. So there is whale. Actually, now that I've found it, plainly written right there. Okay, okay, okay.

Well, I'm feeling less bad about that train derailment now. You can pay for the bill. You got whale in you. Huge derailment. So today's fact of the day. Ah! Wasabi! Chuck some ginger on! Wasabi!

Chuck some ginger on! So today's fact of the day is there were the world's most expensive platter of sushi, 20 pieces for $4,000 New Zealand dollars. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. So there was a woman on a Southwest airline flight. That's American airline, right? That's an American one. Yeah, it is. From California.

It is, yeah. She was flying her way across the country and she spotted a good looking bloke sitting right in front of her. So she was like, and of course her first thought was like, I better share this on TikTok. And she did. She wrote a little note on a napkin

and passed it to him. It said, if you're single or interested, text me sometimes. So not necessarily single. Yeah. if you're single or interested, text me sometimes. Or interested, so not necessarily single. Yeah. Oh, yeah. If you're single or interested. Single and interested. Oh, single forward slash interested.

Yeah, that's still giving him the and or. That's giving him an or. Yeah. She said, text me sometime. Oh, my God. I would be too embarrassed to do that. Followed by her number and her name.

Could you do that? I've done it. Have you? Yeah? I've done it. Have you? Yeah, I've done it. When I was working in retail, there was a really hot boy who worked at Scopa in Wellington on Cuba Street. Everyone knows Scopa. And I went in there once and got a hot chocolate. And I was

like, goddamn. And then every day I went and got a coffee from there, even though I don't drink coffee. And I worked nowhere near it. And then one day I was like, I'm just going to ask him out. And so I did. You're all jittered up and miles from work. I was. Hey, man, what is your...

I'm just in the middle of a panic attack, but don't worry about it. I got dressed up in some clothes from my designer clothing store, and I went and I had a $5 note. Wait, were the labels still on? Yeah, bro, tucked in. I was putting that shit right back on the shelf for you plebs to buy. And then I had a $5 note with my with a note on it saying

fancy a drink and then my number. And then I went to pay for it and he said, it's on the house. And I went, oh you're flirting with me. I'm desperately trying to flirt with you. And I said, no, no, no, I want to pay. And he was like, no, no, it's on me. And I said, no, take the money! And I shoved it in his hand., no, it's on me. And I said, no, take the money.

And I shoved it in his hand. And then we went on a date. Because your number was on it. And then we went on a date. How'd that go? It was good. It was hot. Yeah, we had sex.

I meant, no, I meant. What do you, do you want all the details? No, no, no, no. We pretended like we were going to watch a movie at my house. How long did you see each other? We watched Sin City for all of 10 minutes. Sin City, great film. It was it. Great film.

Anyway. You were doing Netflix and chill before Netflix. Before Netflix, but he brought a DVD around. I think they called that Civic Video and Chill, didn't they? Or United Video and Chill. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway.

United Video. Whoa. An expensive way to get down on your couch. Yeah. United Video. Whoa. An expensive way to get down on your couch. Yeah. United Video. Whoa. United Video. Whoa.

That would have kept the company afloat. That would have at least for a couple more years. They only needed to make DVDs with the first 10 minutes because who are we kidding? Yeah. Anyway, she did this and there's no update yet on whether or not the date went ahead, but she shot a shot on an airline.

But we were talking about the story and then you said you know. I'm sure. No, Eli does comedy about this. Our friend Eli Mathewson, New Zealand comedian. Yeah. He sat next to... I believe we still owe money.

Yeah, we're indebted to. I believe we haven't yet paid him for our live show. And he's suing the company. We said friend of the show. He's suing Carwin. I believe not us. Look, I just wasn't that impressed. Wow.

You know comedians aren't like those restaurants where at the end you pay as you see fit. Oh, it's fine. It's not a core half performance. Oh, I thought just like the exposure. No. The exposure.

Yeah, great. No, you're right actually. Work experience. Oh, we actually went on Insta. Wow. She's sorting it out. Well, Eli was on a flight

from Auckland to Wellington and he sat next to a very handsome man named Sam and those two have been together ever since and own a house together

and it's beautiful. I didn't know that's who they met. On a just-south flight. Sam is very handsome. He is so hot. What is it about that man? He's alluring. It's because he's mixed race. That's why you're a tractor truck.

That'll be it. Yeah, that'll be it. Anyway. You're like a bloody tsunami alert system whenever you go near a body. I'm sorry. He's a good looking man. He's your father black and your mother white.

Awooka. Awooka. Hillel. That would make people listen if your car alarm or any sort of alarm was like, Hillel. You try to beep. Hill. Hill.

Hillel. Are we in trouble? Anyway. I want to know if you, like this woman, or like our friend Eli, shot your shot on an airplane and what happened? Yeah, have you ended up with somebody from the plane? Yeah. I don't know why they had a one-night stand on a plane. In the plane? You know them too. We will say no names, but you ended up with somebody from the plane? Yeah, or did you get with them? I don't know why they had a one-night stand on a plane.

In the plane? You know them too. We will say no names, but you know them. You haven't met them. When we throw to ads, I will simply find out who this is. Wouldn't you like to know, audience, what happens in the ads? Wouldn't you like to know? Okay, well, give us a call.

0800-DARLS.M Has this ever happened to you or someone you know? Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, a woman shot a shot on a plane. She sent a little note to the hot guy in front of her and we want to know if you've ended up with someone that you met on a plane. And...

Heidi, this happened to your sister. Yeah, yeah, she met my now brother-in-law on a flight on the way over to the States. And they like, well, he cracked some funny jokes and he helped her put her bag in the overhead. And then they talked in the, between the cracks of the seats all the way. That's actually hot when a guy like goes to lift the bag up above his head and then his t-shirt raises up and I see the guys and I'm like, hey. I want your touch. Yeah, and so basically he ended up, they went to two separate places in the States

and then he ended up stopping in Auckland to see her instead of going back to Queenstown. Oh my gosh. What, and they're together now? Yeah, they've been married for, I think, coming up three years. Oh my God. And they've been seeing their baby,

their first baby, for two weeks on Monday. There you go. That's cute, man. Love it. Just because they, yeah. I would have been annoyed, though, if I was sitting and there was someone having a conversation between the crack and the seat next to me. Also, watching people flirt is so gross.

It's fine when I do it. When you watch people being like, you're like, ugh. Yeah. Watching myself flirt with Jason Monroe on that video is the worst. I think it was a very full flight. He had a seat beside her, but he didn't move. I don't know. Ugh, yuck. Watching myself work with Jason on that video is the worst. He had a seat beside her but he didn't move.

I don't know. Oh, weird. Okay. It worked out in the end. Yeah, it did. Heidi, thank you. Thanks. Bye.

Keep your texts coming through. 9696. She was spitting off our chaotic energy. I know. We're in a frenzy. We're in a frenzy.

Love is literally in the air. Love is in the air. Good for you. That was good for me. That was good for you. Thank you. I know.

And it would have been better if I didn't comment on it, but I was so impressed with myself. It was really good. What if because we really need to hurry this break up because my flight's been changed to New Plymouth from... This is fake. Yeah. No, but no.

But I've had to change. My flight's been cancelled at 12.20. So they wanted me on the three something, but I've just put myself on the 10.30. What if the love of my life was on the three? No, no I've had to change my flight. It's been cancelled at 12.20, so they wanted me on the three something, but I've just put myself on the 10.30. What if the love of my life was on the three? No, no, no, no, no. The love of your life's going to be on the 10. That's how it works.

Yeah, this is how. The stars are aligning, not misaligning. But what if everyone's a minger? Tough. You'll just have to make the best out of the bad bunch. You've got to shack up with one of them forever. Plus, they're going to New Plymouth. What are you expecting?

How dare you? How dare you? That is expecting? Why, dear you. How dear you. That is rude. Oh, my gosh. I met an American on a plane. We asked you if love's ever been in the air. I met an American on a plane. He was travelling alone and asked me if I'd be keen to show him around the South Island.

Hesitantly, I did. Show him around my South Island? Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. What does he roll with? I don't know. I'm rocked.

Take him straight to the pancake rocks. Hey. Do you want to see the punakakis? Let me have a look at this. It's a blowhole if you get the tide right. Vaughan Ellen Smith. Great time for our guests. Good morning to our guests that are watching.

Some guests have walked into the studio. You can explain that joke to them, Vaughan, when you leave the studio. So basically, I was comparing Hayley's vagina to the Punakaki rocks. No, these are the Punakaki rocks. Oh, no, I had them as the Moeraki boulders.

Thank you. Some more terrorism. Nice and round and unexplainably perfect. How did they get there? No one knows. No one knows. Sorry, guys.

It's Friday. I showed him around the South Island. Turns out he was a multimillionaire and we travelled in style. Six weeks later he sent me air tickets to visit him in the US. He had the most beautiful mansion and we travelled all over together. Wait, are they together now? Are they still together? No, that feels fleeting.

It does feel fleeting but fun. Fleeting but fun. I was friends with someone on Facebook who posted a play-by-play of a date with someone she met on a plane. Starting with how she asked them out on the plane. It was the first time they were in the same country. So this country they were in both of their first times. So they went on their first date when they got to the country. Oh, cute.

The details of the first date. They had a kiss on a balcony with romantic music in the background. And then the final post was, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. He's married. Well, you know, details. Oh, yeah. Details, details. I was a flight attendant.

There was a really good looking guy on our flight one night. It was very empty. We got chatted. They've got code words for them, don't they? Yes, what is it? Jared, your girlfriend used to be a... No, that's when they give you a hot towel. There's a hot towel and they're saying

please don't wipe your face with that. Do you remember your girlfriend used to be a flight attendant Jared yeah what was the code word for a hottie I believe it was like Bob A3 babe on board
