Happy Friday. Happy Friday. God, that came around quickly, didn't it? Yeah. I think we should really talk to Ross Boss about this three-day week. It's a great, it's a great. It's been fantastic. It's a great week. Look a great. It's been fantastic. It's a great week.

Look at the sustainability of the energy. Because you're only working three days a week. It's the end of the week and I've still got plenty to spare. Yeah, no, I love it. You're not complaining. No. Do you like this? Oh, you've got long nails.

Yeah, I've got some nail extensions. Like fluoro orange. Well, I've got a couple of shoots coming up, and I had stubby little fingernails. Okay. So I got some little extensions. Can't do anything. We're not going to be able to play Indoor Netball this weekend.

I was going to say, yeah, I was going to say, that counts you out of Indoor Netball. Oh, I didn't even think about our team, Indoor Netball team. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, I'll get used to them. I can do some ASMR if you want. No, no, no.

It's not good. On the show soon, the top six. Yeah. Disney, the corporation, have purchased a $1.5 billion stake in Fortnite, the video game. I was about to say, what cut is it? Is it sirloin?

What a steak. $1.5 billion steak. It'd be a pretty good cut. It'd be a good cut of steak. Scotch. It could be a Scotch fillet. Really, I'm not taking this seriously. This is a financial investment, Hayley.

Oh, sorry. Not a meat. Just when he said a $1.5 billion steak, I just wanted to know what cut it was. Loin. Scotch.5 billion stake. I just wanted to know what cut it was. Loin. Scotch. I fill it. This is serious

financial reporting. I'm really sorry. Sorry, I thought this was laugh out loud. Sorry. Is there a weird laugh again? No, we changed the slogan overnight.

Did we? Yeah. Serious, serious, financial stuff. I did not check that email. I'm so sorry. Yeah. V- financial news. Serious financial stuff. I did not check that email. I'm so sorry. Yeah. V-H-S-F-S.

Serious financial stuff. I'm so sorry. Mom. I've got nothing but jokes. This is a terrible, terrible start to a new show. Such a shame because I really feel like yesterday that steak joke would have really landed. It would have, yes. Before we were serious financial stuff.

Oh, God. I really apologise. Sorry. We can work on that. Hold on. I'm going to have to do a real... We've just lost the show sponsor. We've just lost ANZ as the show sponsor.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Does that mean we've still got McCafe in there? Yep, yep. No, they're there. Maybe we're going to have to go back to Laugh Out Louder. Are we going back to Laugh Out Louder because I've got a great talk about steaks? We'll go back to Laugh Out Louder.

Okay. Well, you, what's the top six? We have to go back to Laugh Out Louder. Are we going back to Laugh Out Louder? Because I've got a great joke about steaks. We'll go back to Laugh Out Louder. Okay. Well, you, what's the top six? Well, the top six is Disney has purchased a $1.5 billion steak in Fortnite. Must be an eye fillet. That's good, actually. I see what you're saying. Because you pay the most per kilogram for an eye fillet.

Eye fillet. To be honest, unless you cook it the whole fillet, I don't rate the steak. I know, I know. I think it's good we've dropped the serious finances. Yeah. It's better to laugh out louder. We just try to make money

in these tough times. That's where the money's at. Talking about money. Right, okay. People who deal in money seem to be making a lot of money. You know what I'm saying? I'm just trying to pay

some wages over here. So yeah, I've got the top six things we can expect to see in Fortnite with Disney owning a major share. Next on the show, though. Generation Z.

They are shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to dating for one simple reason. And I feel like our producer, Jared, might have a story to share about this. A great story. A very icky story. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. story to share about this. A great story. A very icky story. Now, Hinge. Hinge the dating app. What's their

spin on things? You know, like Bumble's Ladies First. Tinder was the original one. What is Hinge? Karwini, do you know? I think it's that. It's like designed to be deleted. I think that's their like slogan. Oh, okay. So it's specifically for if you are looking for a relationship.

It's not like Tinder where it's a lot of hookups. I see. Or every time you hook up, you've got to delete it and then reinstall it the next day. Yeah, you have some drinks, reinstall it. Okay. Well, every year they do like a massive dating report and this year they've focused on Gen Z, the generation of Zs.

And it's a massive report, lots of stats in here. But one of the main things that they found is that the reason that Gen Z is having a terrible time of dating at the moment is because they're so quick to get the ick. They're so quick to go like, ugh. It was one of the main reasons why they said that a first date didn't end up in a second date. It was because the date they were on, that person did something that they just went, I can't. I can't. I've got the ick. Yeah, but then if you can't get past that, then isn't that okay? Exactly.

But they're like, no, well, it just means that. You're saying you've got to stay in there. They've got to stay. Well, they just keep on going. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working because they're getting the ick so quickly.

And then they're like, why am I alone? It's like because they're not pushing through the ick. We've been doing this for generations. Push through the ick. Yeah. I mean, an ick's not a red flag, is it? Oh, but also quite right. There's a bit of an ick.

No, an ick not being a red flag, not like, oh, God, no, that's not on, but something that you're just like, oh, I saw your toes. You're wiggling your toes. I don't like that. I don't like the way you wiggle your toes. But like the famous Seinfeld episodes where George Costanza, not exactly an oil painting, breaks up with a woman for crazy reasons. So I just think it's an age-old trope, isn't it?

It's just their time to be doing the majority of the dating. And then when you get older, maybe you get a little less fussy because you're like, time is ticking. Time is ticking. The ovaries, they be drying. What would it be like getting to later in life and being like, there is about three people that may have been better than who I'm currently with because I was young and fussy.

I know because that's all that marriage is, right? Is just saying that that's the best I'll do, right? So you're going like, you date someone and then you're like, nah, that's not good. You try to find someone better. You try to find someone better than you land on the one. But yeah, I don't know. I don't think I'd look back at anyone I've dated properly

and been like, that was probably it. I was just being fussy. I think most of them are trash. Most of them are dirtbags. That must be it. Now, with the inability to move past the ick, we're actually lucky because producer Jared somehow managed to retain his hot midi

and she should have got the ick. Yeah, definitely. Why? Because she showed you a video. Yeah, she took a video the first time she stayed over. And I'm a little bit cooked. What was she documenting evidence of her first date? You know, just in case she went missing. Yeah, potentially.

Yeah, upload it to iCloud. This is the man. And it's me going around my bedroom being like, and this is my first ever D&D character. Oh, ick. These are my cool magic cards. This is where I do my streaming. How did you get a second date?

I don't know. She pushed through. Yeah, she pushed through the ick. She pushed through the ick. And now it's a beautiful love story. This is what Gen Z's getting wrong. Because they're not pushing through the ick. Whereas Gen Z would have just left

because you'd done your Dungeons and Dragons thing. They would have been like, ugh. Yeah. And they'd miss out on that great relationship. We all did icky things. On my first date, I showed Aaron marching videos. I mean, that's not ick. That's like one of the coolest things you'll ever win.

It's for your own eyes. Is it? But then I remembered a video of a magician, and he was doing a trick, and it all went wrong, and he cut off the head. And I think Aaron was like, what's happening? I've taken this woman home, and she's shown me a video of a magician cutting off the head. He accidentally really did cut off the head. Totally.

I'll send you the link. It's one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that. How's it on YouTube? I don't know. That should have been flagged. It could be.

I mean, this is like 13 years ago now. It could be gone. And then I think that's icky, right? Are you sure it wasn't on rotten.com? No, it wasn't know. That should have been flagged. It could be. I mean, this is like 13 years ago now. It could be gone. And then I think that's icky, right? You sure it wasn't on rotten.com? No, it wasn't rotten.com. It wasn't rotten.com. Remember rotten.com? Oh, God.

Remember rotten.com. But if you think that's bad, right? I think that Aaron should have got the ick at that. Producer Shannon, on one of her first dates, got your boyfriend to actually show you some live magic. Well, yeah. So my boyfriend's a professional magician. And like, naturally, when you're on a date with a magician.

I mean, there's your first one, right? She has a push through the egg. And so I remember being like, when I first met him, I was like, we'll see. Because I was moving soon. So my intention was a hookup. I didn't want to date him. So I was like.

She's there to get some. Yeah, I was like, if I'm only going to see this guy once or so. It's fine that he's a magician. I'm going to see some magic. Like I'm going to get something out of it. Yeah, I was like, if I'm only going to see this guy once or so, I'm going to see some magic. Like, I'm going to get something out of it. Yeah, yeah. And like, upon reflection,

he quite doesn't like when people just ask him straight up for magic. He's like, well, that's like my job, you know. Oh, yeah, totally. So he pushed through the ick of me asking

and I pushed through the ick of watching. And now we're still together. And now we've been in love for four years. Wait, but you didn't leave. Are you sure he didn't hypnotise you as well?

Yeah, I reckon he hypnotised you. Sometimes I do wonder that. Yeah. Is he can make people say things. Yeah, he mentalised her. He's a mentalist. Yeah, he does mentalism. Yeah.

I wonder. I mean, I'm happy, I think. So like. We don't know. You left old Shannon in the past. Jesus. And we're going to find her trigger. Yeah.

Oh, is it like a chicken going. Two quick clicks. Cucumber. Rhubarb. Yeah, rhubarb. to find her trigger. Yeah. Oh, is it like a chicken going to the car? Two quick clicks. Cucumber. Rhubarb. Yeah, rhubarb. Ha ha, rhubarb. She's like, oh my God. Blather and blather spikes.

What have I been doing for four years? Yeah. Ah! And then you're just like, ah! You wake up. That would be wild. Well, listen, Gen Z, let us all be examples. You've got to push through the ick.

Yeah. No, don't push through the red flags, but push through the ick. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, we've got some research from a university team in Chile. A university in Chile. They wanted to study avalanches and rock slides. And so they looked at fruit displays. Like, you know in the supermarket, it's all nicely stacked.

I've got to tell you, New World Thorndon in Wellington is one of the most renowned stackers. They do a good... Is it a pyramid? I don't want it stacked like that. I don't want it like that. But isn't it lovely to the eye? No, because you know you're paying a premium for that stack.

Oh, yeah, New World Thorndon, I think, is one of the most expensive New World stackers. It's booge. It's not delightful. I don't want to pay for it. And the best one in the world. It's booze. It's not delightful. I don't want to pay for it and the best one will be down. Well, my visually appealing fruit might be a supportive piece,

might be a load-bearing fruit. My supermarket, my local countdown has like, you know, the flat, big kind of areas where they'll have stuff. But then they also have the sloping boxes.

Yeah, sloping boxes. And so it's all, stuff's already going to come tumbling down. Yeah, yeah, boxes. And so it's all, stuff's already going to come tumbling down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this research team used computer simulations to look at pyramids of fruit stacked. Yeah, love it.

And they have found that about 10% of the fruit in any given display can be picked out before it triggers a collapse. Yeah, it's like an Uno. No, not Uno. Jenga. Jenga, thank you. So they say, for example, if there was a stack of 300 apples,

29 shoppers would get away with picking an apple each. A not top apple. Or just any apple on the display. But if you took it from the top down, you could... Well, you'd assume people would take from the top. They're not monsters. No, but you're going, like, you could take them from within the structure before it became structurally

unsound. Because if you just take it from the top, it's, yeah. You could dismantle the whole thing. When that 30th person took an apple, down it comes. So 10% is the magic number. 10% is what they say is the magic number. So if you were on a mountainside, 10% of snow could be, like,

knocked away. Well, so they used apples and pears as examples because of the shape? Like, kind of a crystal shape or a rock shape? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I suppose so. Rather than a carrot. But rocks don't sit on each other like apples, and they're not all a uniform size. Well, they do sit on each other, though, don't they? But they, like, fall into each other.

Yeah, they kind of lock, but that's what the apples and fruit do, don't they? That's what they're doing because they're not perfectly the same size. I'd say rocks. You're picking apart the study. I'd say rocks cut together better than apples.

You're picking it apart too much. Rocks are all different sizes. I watched that Society of the Snow, speaking of avalanches. Oh. Oh, I just haven't been able to dive in because the subtitles can't be bothered. I'm not here to read a book.

Subtitles. Is it good though? You'll read your horny books. Oh, really well told story. I'll read a horny book. Really well told story. It's brilliantly done, eh? Oh no, there's nothing horny about it.

Did you watch The Making Of? No. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. Is there any romance in it? Zero. Zero romance. You're telling me if you were stranded on a plane with all your mates in the middle of

the snow, you're not having some kitties and some kitties? You've got to worry. Well, they cuddled, but that was primarily for warmth. For warmth. Absolutely. You're telling me that a group of men are getting all hot and warm next to each other. There's no extra calories for fornication. We're not having a little.

You have to reserve your calories. Yeah. It's a little. You're telling me this. No, I don't think so. Well, you're a Gwaiian. Well, you think you're going to die? You're about to die?

You're never going to make love again? You wouldn't with your mates? With your boy mates? I think survival was at the forefront. I don't think they were thinking about that. You've been reading too many horny books. Yeah, you read. That's coming from two men.

I'm going to write that book. Two red-blooded men. Plane crash with a group of rugby men, hard men, hetero men. And then they all think they're going to die in their life. They turn to cannibalism and homosexuality to fulfill their two primal urges of eating and eating. They're hungry and they're hungry. Watch out for that at the next Pride Film Festival. God, that'll be an absolute riveting film.

A bunch of hungry, starving men stuck in the snow. It would be confusing. You'd be like, oh, this is terrible. But it's like when you go to prison. You're not starving when you go to prison. And you're there, you live to your seven-year sentence. You're prison straight and you're there doing a seven year sentence. You're telling me that you're not

getting a little boyfriend? You're telling me that you're not going to take a male lover? I don't think so. You're lying to yourself. You take a male lover. How did we go

from fruit displays to the supermarket? Everyone leaves prison gay. I don't know if they do. They do. All the women leave lesbian and all the men

leave gay. You've been reading too many horny books. I'm going to write that one as well. Geez, I don't know if they do. They do. All the women leave lesbian and all the men leave gay. You've been reading too many horny books. I'm going to write that one as well. Jeez, I've read a smutty prison book. I reckon that one's been written. I've got two ideas. Leave me alone, I'm going to start writing. I'm going to start writing.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little poe, silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Do you carry a wallet?

100%. I've got a massive wallet. Yeah, yours is, there's got to be a different name for what you carry. It's like, it's almost a clutch. No, the purse is the bag, is a massive wallet. Yeah, yours is, there's got to be a different name for what you carry. It's like, it's almost a clutch. No, the purse is the bag, is a handbag. No, a handbag is a handbag.

Handbag is a handbag. Purse is a woman's wallet. Yeah, purse is a woman's wallet. Would you say that's my purse? I'd say that's your, mmm. No, when I say grab my purse, I mean that's my handbag.

A small handbag could be a purse. But there must be a name for a lady's wallet. Because it's bigger. It's just a wallet. It's bigger, yeah. It's got this hon lady's wallet. Because it's bigger. It's just a wallet. It's bigger, yeah. It's got this honking thing. Yeah, mine's huge.

It's got a pocket for change. It's got card slots galore. Guys as well, some guys have the fattest, biggest wallets. I'm like, what are you putting in there? And they've got their receipts in there from like five years ago. And then they've got a... And they're white. All the ink's rubbed off.

A sushi card that they'd never use I know leave that at the store yeah some time zone coin you're like come on now

get a grip because we can women usually have a bigger wallet because we don't put it in our pocket it goes in our handbag and the reason we talk

about this there is a trend and this has been appearing on TikTok people and this is mostly in countries or states where your driver's license can be digital.

Yes. And it's a proper, it's in your Apple wallet. Yeah. So that would be a good reason if you've got Apple Pay or any kind of digital card. But not everywhere has paywaves still. No. Sometimes if I don't have my wallet and I go somewhere,

I'm always a bit nervous that I don't have pay waves. But a lot of people are ditching the wallet and they're going just with their phone. Do you know who doesn't have a wallet? Producer Shannon. And we were like, but how do you carry your cards around? She said, I've got Apple Pay. We were like, what about your licence? And what did you admit?

Well, I didn't know until recently that you had to carry your licence with you. Yeah, you do. I thought it was just for buying alcohol. No. It's purely for driving, actually. Wow, yeah. You've got to produce it if you get pulled over. When do you think New Zealand will move to a digital driver's licence?

Gotta be soon. It's happening in Aussie. Is it New South Wales? I'm here for it. It just makes sense, though, because they've got a screen. Just look me up. I'll just tell you my name and I'm there. You can still carry the old analogue licence if you want, but let people have a digital option. So New South Wales, you can get a digital version and I think they're trialling it or they're bringing it in in Victoria. Frankly, it's embarrassing for the government that Costco has moved to a digital card before they moved to digital.

You can get a digital Costco card now, so you don't need to do the card. You still need to show them when you're walking in. Well, this is today's Silly Little Poll. Do you still have a wallet? And the results are 75% yes, 25% no.

Do you carry a wallet? How about that? Are we including the phone with an attachment on the back that has a couple of cards in it or a case? Would that technically be not a wallet? That's a phone. That's a card holder. Yeah, I'd say that's not a wallet. I wouldn't say that's a traditional wallet. It's a card holder.

Sam says, yes, and it destroys all my cards because I keep it in my back pocket and after my fat dumper just sat on it for long enough, paywave doesn't work anymore. Congrats on the fat dumper. Yeah, I will say. Great dumper. Love seeing a lad with a fat dumper. Same. Why are men not training the glutes more? Love seeing a big bubble butt on a man. Paton, paton.

I just want to give it a little fat ham back there. I want to kiss it. I want to smack your fat ham. Dylan! I put no because they use a wallet phone case instead. Do they count as a wallet? No, we just had that debate, Dylan. Yeah, that's more of a card holder, Dylan.

A magnetic card holder. Yeah. I'd move to that, but then I've got nowhere to keep my receipts. Yeah, I don't... You love keeping your receipts. I love keeping my receipts, baby. Oh, you do because of your business. Yes. What?

Yeah, okay. I'm not a businessman. I love keeping my receipts, baby. Oh, you do because of your business. Yes. What? Yeah, okay. I'm not a businessman. I'm a businessman. Like, how many times do you lose your phone? Like, at least if I've lost my phone, I've still got my wallet. Totally. Losing both. Yeah.

That's a big loss. Yeah. Gowrie? Gowrie? It's not Gowrie as in G-A-R-Y. G-A-U-R-I. Like, Gowrie. Gowrie. Gowrie. G G-A-R-Y. G-A-U-R-I. Like Koury. Shit. Gowry.

Gowry. Gowry. I believe. Okay. Girl hands and pockers. It's way more fun scrambling around and trying to remember which jeans have certain bank cards in it. It's a no wallet for me.

Oh my God. That's a shambles. So you're loose with your cards and you... Oh, no, no, no, no. I hate it when my cards are loose. I can't have it. Like when you go to a wedding and you've got a tiny little... And you've just got to chuck a card in there.

It's not nice. The weddings we've been to recently, I'm like, what do I need to take? I haven't taken a wallet. Don't take a wallet. What am I paying for there? Yeah. Nothing. I better not be paying for a goddamn thing at a wedding.

You invited me. Pay for me. Care for me. Feed me. What of me? I'm going to drink hundreds of dollars of worth. I think I did drink hundreds of dollars of worth. You were on the whiskers.

Very nice whiskey. Oh, no. Side thought. Side thought. Michaela says, just a small card wallet. None of this boomer phone wallet or bulky wallet with lots of cards. Yeah. Michaela, have you met Fletch?

He travels slim as well. No, no. That's what I'm saying. You two would get on. You're the deadly pony boys. Kate says, I have a wallet in my baby bag, but mostly I only use my phone for paywave Google Pay, being one-handed for 18 months.

That's right. The baby in one hand is in the baby bag, but you don't have to get that out. You've got to switch shoulders. I had a friend that had a baby, and she always carried it in one, and then she had a really jacked shoulder, and then the other one was all like this. They seem to do nerve damage to their arm by their neck

by carrying the baby in one arm the whole time and they switch it up. Then they have to ring the bells at Notre Dame. I don't need any more reasons but thank you for adding to the list. Catherine says,

phone wallet! Exclamation mark. A wildly underrated version of the wallet. Yeah. Sam said, I'm confused. Do people not carry wallets?

When did this all start? I know, Sam. I know. I know. It's a weapon of the future. I know. Lisa, I'm confused. Do people not carry wallets? When did this all start? I know, Sam. I know. I know. It's a weapon of the future. I know. Lisa, not grumpy. Just standard.

Yep. Well, let's see what she says first. Well, she says, I don't carry a wallet much at all anymore now because Apple Pay. Yeah. But again, you don't want to be caught short at a place that doesn't do Apple Pay. Dead phone. Phone dies. I know.

That's the other thing. Dead phone. Laura says, I only carry my phone now. I can't be bothered with anything else. Laura, you need a handbag. Because what if a guy needs somewhere to put keys? Yeah, where do we put our charger? Oh my God.

Where do we put all of our stuff? The state of my handbag at those weddings. And our wallet. And my sunglasses. And our phone recharger battery. Yeah, and the vapes and the extra vape pods. I had like three sets of sunglasses. I had wallets in there, sunblocks.

You were our Sherpa. I was the Sherpa. Also, we don't vape. You made it sound like we vape. Aaron had his vapes in there. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I don't vape. I saw you guys both on the vapes.

Oh, yuck. I've never vaped in my life. I was vaping a gooseberry flavour. Gooseberry. Do you have gooseberry? No gooseberry. Do you have gooseberry? No gooseberry. Do you have blueberry? Not blueberry pancakes. I just want straight pancake

flavoured vapes. I'll do gooseberry pancakes. I will stretch to a caped gooseberry if I must. Courtney says, no way. All my loyalty cards are in an app and I have a slot in the back of my phone for a licence. Wallet's a two-ball. Shout out to Stowcard. I know, you tried to get me onto it. That's a an app and I have a slot in the back of my phone for a license. Wallets are too bulky. Shout out to Stowcard. I know.

You tried to get me onto it. It's a great app. I didn't get onto it. I use my watch for all my buzzing in at the gym, the pool. I need to set that up, actually. So good. Yeah. That's it.

I'm done. Are you done? I'm done. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM. Okay. Travel hack. Travelley. Play ZM. Okay, travel hack. Travel hack.

Packing hack. Because I don't even use packing cells. Oh, I love a packing cell. I don't get it. What do you mean you don't get a packing cell? I don't get it. It's all going in the suitcase. You put all your undies in a packing cell and then you put all your... I put mine in a little, yeah, like a bag.

But then your t-shirts and stuff, why do they need to be in a packing cell? That's just one more. If you're going away for a long time and you're in and out of your suitcase, packing cells are amazing. I don't. But if you're just going somewhere for a week, then sure, you can use the drawers and stuff.

You can raw dog and just use the drawers at the hotel. Raw dog it into the suitcase. Yeah, sure. Okay, well, this is a packing hack that's going viral on TikTok called the 3-3-3 method. 3-3-3 method. Three tops, three pants, three shoes, done. What about undies?

You've got to have three pairs for every day you're out there in case you shit yourself. I'm sure, like, so undies, toiletries, all that's, like, extra. But when it comes to your actual outfits, three shoe, three pant, three top. Now, I've been looking at other videos and everyone's going like, I'm using the 3-3-3 method.

I've got three pants, three tops, three pairs of shoes. I also added a jacket and two dresses. I'm like, you're already admitting that it doesn't work. I've got a jacket, so that's a fourth top. A dress, that's also kind of like a fifth top and a fourth pant. What three shoes are you taking? And then I feel like too many shoes. Yeah, I feel like too many shoes. I'd lose a shoe top and a fourth pant. What three shoes are you taking? And then I feel like too many shoes.

Yeah, I feel like too many shoes. I'd lose a shoe and add a top. You're normally going somewhere hot, so you want your Birkenstocks or some jandals. You need a sneaker and a sandal. And then you need a sneaker. And the sandal should be able to be dressed up. Yeah, but then you need a dress if you're going out.

That's when your Birks come in. I think a Birk can be dressed up. Yeah, a Birk can be dressed up. If you're going somewhere warm, semi-casual. In Italy. Yeah, a burk with a nice pair of shorts. Bali, for example. You could go out wearing a nice pair of shorts.

Bali, you could go out wearing a bloody leopard print thong and a jandle. That'd be fine. But you do want a closed-toe shoe for walking about. Yeah, a stylish but comfortable sneaker. But then are three shorts and three tops going to be enough? Absolutely not enough. I think two shorts is enough. No to be enough? Absolutely not enough. I think two shorts is enough.

No, I think two shorts is enough, yeah. Yeah, like a fitnessy short and a nicer structured short. Yeah. Or what about a tog? I'd swim in the sporty shorts. I'd chuck a tog. Tog, for me, goes in with undies. That's additional.

Okay. Do you know what I mean? How many times you go on holiday and you take way too much stuff? Every time. Every time. 110% of the time. Every time. Because you.

You're always like, I need to take this going out outfit. And then you are somewhere more casual and you're like, I don't really need to get dressed up. I'm too hot as well. I'll just wear this like singlet and burps. Yeah. And it's fine. And it's fine. Yeah.

Yeah. So maybe they're right. I don't know. It's just not enough. Maybe they're right. I don't know. It's just not enough. It's not enough. I don't know. I want more. And then the dress thing, that's additional.

Because dresses are great for going away. Dress them up, dress them down. When I went away last year, when we had two weeks off in the middle of the year, I did own and carry on. That's right. And it was so good. Like I made myself take this. But when you look back

at your holiday photos are you like, ooh, same outfit, different day? Nah, like I don't care. I don't care. I would never. That would be my life

looking back on my life and then like, ooh, yuck, same outfit. We've got to think about the photo shoot. We've got to think about like, I want to be wearing this in front of this.

I'm going to be wearing this in front of this. You want to have a little fashion moment. I don't think it matters. Like if you're standing in front of someone. You want to have a little fashion moment. I don't think it matters. If you're standing in front of someone, it's cool. It doesn't matter. I'm not saying it matters. It's just that's the feeling of it. Right, okay. So you would

be more instead of the three? 666, the number of the devil. That's me. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six. I've just locked in today's Friday Flashback one hour.

Approximately one hour and five minutes. Okay. 1999. Some say the best year, the pop. Yeah. Where pop peaked. It did. Where pop pop.

The pop pop. 99 ruled. 98, 99. Right, so 1999. It's coming up. It's coming up after the news at eight. But right now, the top six. Disney has purchased $1.5 billion of Fortnite.

I saw a lot of Disney announcements yesterday. Were they doing something? Busy, eh? Yeah. Some financial earnings report or something. Yeah. Okay. I think so.

There's already been a fair bit of Disney content in Fortnite, but there's also been heaps of Warner Brothers content, so I wonder if it'll put a stop to that. Yeah. Because people, when they release a movie, release the character as a playable character in Fortnite. Okay. Which is crazy, right?

Using video games to promote movies. But it's the way to do it now because it's eyes on the screen and people want it and it's clever marketing. So I've got the top six things you can expect to see with the Fortnite Disney crossover. Number six on the list, Mickey Mouse blowing Pete's head off with a pump action shotgun. Oh my gosh.

Pete has had it coming. What's he going to say? You've got her. Have you ever played Fortnite? Never. I don't even understand what it is. I think I played it once and I was like, oh, no. Yeah, I haven't played it for ages.

And then my kids were playing it the other day. And my niece is apparently a bit of a massive. Oh, okay. It's still massive. Are they still flossing? Wasn't that Fortnite? Yeah, yeah. What was that thing you just did?

What was that thing you just did? No, no, that's not. You're like someone's auntie being like, are we doing the floss? I'll do a floss. You're dead, Pete. I pulled your head off. Number five on the list of the top six things you can expect to see in the Disney-Fortnite crossover.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Cannons as a mounted weapon. Probably means nothing to you guys, but, you know, high ground. Get the high ground. Hold it with the mountain. Get the high ground. The mounted weapon of the Pirrots and the caravan.

The weapon. Cannon. Maybe shoot a bottle of rum. Rum. That'll do. Number four on the list of the top six things you can expect to see in the Fortnite Disney crossover. After Auntie over here is doing the floss,

maybe she can do a bell, either reading a book or ballroom dancing with the beast emote. Yeah. So the emote is what you ballroom dancing with the beast emote. Yeah. So the emote is what you were talking about with the floss. Yeah. You would emote. Sometimes it's a dance. Sometimes it's like banging a cowbell and all these sorts of different things.

Sort of a celebration of sorts. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she could be ballroom dancing with the beast after she blows your head off. Yeah. Blows your head off. Number three on the list of the top six things we can expect to see in the Fortnite Disney crossover

How rad would a game of duos be This is where teams of two Taking on 49 other teams of two And you get to play as Buzz Lightyear And Woody from Toy Story Oh yeah that would be sick Partners That would be sick

Partners Partnering up Number two on the list of the top six things You can expect to see from the Fortnite Disney crossover. Fortnite's good. Fortnite. That works. Is a lightning McQueen as a drivable vehicle?

Ka-chow. Ka-chow. Ka-chow, because that's what lightning McQueen says. Yeah. And it is good to have a drivable vehicle in Fortnite. I know, it is. You know that. Why would you not have a drivable vehicle?

I mean, yeah, exactly. You can't even say words now regardless of whether or not they're related to Fortnite. And number one on the list of the top six things

you can expect to see in the Fortnite Disney crossover how about a squad full of Disney princesses? Oh yeah. Teams of four

who are you picking? Eyebags, Jasmine from Aladdin, Merida from Brave, Elsa from Frozen and Mulan from well Mulan. It's going to be weird

seeing them armed to the hill. It'd be rad though. It'd be quite hot. be weird seeing them armed to the hill. It'd be rad though. Yeah. It'd be quite hot. It's quite hot. Corsets. It'd be, yeah.

It would be quite hot. It would be quite hot. That's today's Top 6. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. You know, I love my reality TV and I love my dating shows. I'm watching Love Island. I'm watching Married at First Sight.

Now apparently, last night's episode of Married at First Sight I haven't watched yet, but producer Jared cried. Oh my god. He did not. He did get a little crying. Sorry if I dropped you in it, Jared. Yeah, you might have. Oh, sorry babes. Jared and one of my other mates,

Callum, in our lads chat, they're the only two that watch Married at First Sight. When they start, I'm just like, I don't need to read this. It's almost like they need a symbol for when we, that's actually a good idea in the lads chat, take this to the board. No, they need to break away from the lads chat. No, you can just add them into our chat.

Keep that chat for our chat. Put a ton of emojis like an emoji and then that was when we know we start. Then we can just scroll down to where you're finished talking about it, we see the emoji again. Yeah, you can have a World War II aircraft in our chat and you can put that and we know we start. Then we can just scroll down to where you're finished talking about it. We see the emoji again. Yeah. That's a good idea, right? You could have a World War II aircraft in our chat

and you could put that and we could scroll away from that. I finished Patton yesterday, the three hour movie about George S. Patton. Hang on, we're talking about dating shows, please. Jared. He was a real piece of shit, I'll say it.

You watched Mavs last night and cried. Yeah, the middie and I both cried because I don't want to spoil anything. Please don't. But there was a couple and the lady is just, she's going to teach't want to spoil anything. Please don't. But there was a couple and the lady is just, she's going to teach him how to love again. And most importantly, to love himself.

Wait, nobody died. No. And you still cry. There are some broken men on there and they need a good woman to teach them how to love again. And she's the best woman. And she's the one. Oh, my God, I love this.

Sounds like post-war Europe to me. Okay, well, mute us, Mike. It's broken and it needs to be redone. Well, here's a really fun new dating show. Oh my god I love this Sounds like post war Europe to me Mute us Mike It's broken and it needs to be redone Here's a really fun new dating show Because I love it when there's a new format Remember we had siblings That siblings one They all went on an island

You went with your brother or your sister And then you help each other Find a match on the island Right okay Even I was like that's too brain slop for me Yeah and then you like help each other find a match on the island. Right, okay. Yeah. Even I was like, that's too brain slop for me. Yeah. Hang on, what was it called?

Dating and Relate. And there's MILF Mansion. MILF Mansion? Yeah. This one is called Couple to Thruple. Okay. What? So I can imagine it's a couple And then they choose someone else to join them

Series description Set at a remote tropical resort I mean they're always in a remote tropical resort The couples will meet, mingle And date a group of singles Many of whom are experienced in polyamory With three times the fun The feelings, the drama

These relationships are put through the ultimate test To see if they are the perfect match. At the end of their time, the couples will decide if their hearts have room for more than just the one and commit as a throuple, go home as they arrived, or even leave separately. I'm in.

So this is just like polyamory. So couples bringing in a third. Are they gonna just be spending the whole episode arguing about which one they pick? Yeah. Yeah. But then is it going to be, if they're used to it, is that going to be that dramatic or exciting?

But somebody's not used to it, right? But I think for some of them it won't be. The people won't be used to it. The contestants, it's not. Okay. The main. Like the single contestants that join the couples. Well it just says some of whom are experienced in polyamory.

Some of them might be there for the first time to have a little go bringing in a third. And this is today. So Hey You is like this streaming platform just for reality TV. And it's it is packed to the rafters with

trash. And it's a great time waster and so this is today February 9th that it starts and that's live from the USA so same day yeah it would be a little better if it was British though I saw that thing British does reality TV better than anyone else yeah

I saw that internet idea and I don't know if it ever got made but that person had that idea where I can't remember't know if it ever got made, but that person had that idea where, I can't remember what they called it, but like 12 guys are in a house. Yep. And one of them's straight. Yep.

And the rest of them are gay. Yes. And they've got to work out who, and they slowly get eliminated, and they've got to vote each other out, and they vote out who they think the straight guy is. Do you remember the show The Mole? Yes. So it's like that. You've got to vote each other out and they vote out who they think the straight guy is. Do you remember the show The Mole? Yes.

So it's like that with gay people. And the idea is so there's one straight and 11 gay men and if the straight man is in the final two, he wins. So he's got to convince everyone he's gay.

And if there's two gays at the end, they split the prize money, but the twist is there's two gays at the end, they split the prize money. But the twist is there's no gay men in there. I've seen it on the internet before. It is just chaotic. It's the most chaotic sounding. Are there heaps of the straight guys like hooking up with the other guys

to put people off? Exactly. So they've got to convince. That's the thing. That's the beauty of it. None of them are gay but they're all trying to convince each other

they are gay for a million dollars. So they're all like, come here, honey. And they're all like, too straight to who's kissing. And if you do it, he'll pull back. So you've got to do the sell.

Oh my God, I love this. I love that. That's brilliant. I'm looking at the trailer. I don't have noise on because of the couple to do the sell. Oh, my God. I love that. I love that. That's brilliant. I'm looking at the trailer. I don't have noise on because of the couple to thruple, and it just looks just fantastic. Playing it straight was the proposed name for it. Make this happen. Make that show.

That is brilliant. Get a GoFundMe on. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. It's the final rankings. Today, for final rankings, we are ranking noises to fall asleep to. Sleep noises. Now, 52% of surveyed adults say that they rely on background noise to sleep.

40.4% of adults rely on noise used music, while 40% use nature sounds. I don't mess with nature sounds. I tried the whales. I didn't find that relaxing at all. I tune into them too much.

And they talk to me in my sleep. Yeah, I know. And I'm like, what's up, man? And the whales are like, murder them. Murder all the land lovers. Burn it all down. Yeah, burn it all down so we can flood the surface and take our rightful seat as the heirs to the planet.

Yeah. So this survey also says that adults that rely on noise to sleep are more likely to report poor sleep than those that don't use noise. Get a grip. I know, but you're already a poor sleeper, I think, if you require noise. If you're someone that just slips off, congratulations. I'm a light sleeper. I can get to sleep like that.

But I'm a light sleeper, so any noise, I'll be like, what's that? So the brown noise kind of cancels it out and how it works, right, is it covers the entire spectrum so it will effectively

like noise cancelling because you also forget it's even on. Oh yeah, it just sort of pulls you away with it. I love it. And I can't have silence

ever at any time ever in my life. I have to be. I've got examples of brown noise, deep blue noise, grey noise, velvet noise, white noise, violet noise, pink noise, green noise. The ones I know are pink, green, white, and brown. Yeah. And they're all just different frequencies, right?

They're all different sorts of static. Hit us with some white noise because that would be the most famous one because that's the baby one. That's what everyone gives babies. And this is like, you'd hear this on a white noise machine. Yeah, oh, it's quite high-pitched. It's quite high.

Well, it's literally every frequency, right, that the human ear can hear. Like, different ages hear it. That's how babies have sensitive hearing, they can hear a higher pitch. Right. So I think it does more for them. Babies don't know anything. And what noise do you use to get it?

This is brown. Oh, see that bass gets in there. Hayley put me onto brown. It undulates more and sometimes you can hear things in it. Sometimes it does sound like the ocean. Yeah, it sounds like the ocean. Or like an airplane. Like you're in an airplane?

See the deeper frequency there? Yeah. Than white? Yeah. Give us a bit of pink. Bit of pink. Oh no! No! No! Yeah, no.

Aggressive. No, that's too much. Can I hear deep blue? I haven't heard deep blue. Ooh. That could take me. I don't hate it. That's a bit like a plane,

that one. I'm getting some tingles. I don't hate that one. I don't hate deep blue. Uh a bit like a plane, that one. I'm getting some tingles. I don't hate that one. I don't hate deep blue. Grey noise. This is grey noise. Oh, that's awful. No, no, no.

There's a polystyrene element to that. It's a rubber tray. Okay, green noise. Nah, I tried green the other day. Rainfall. Yeah, yeah, it's rain. It's too high. It's quite high.

It's too high. It means. What's that? Was that green again? it's rain. It's too high. It's too high. It's mids. What's that? Was that green again? That's green. This is violet. Oh! No, no, no, no.

Stop. Snakes, snakes. Bit of snakes. Bit of snakes. Bit of snakes. Or frying. Or when you accidentally put like a bit of bacon that's a bit wet into a water and oil. Yeah, too much oil.

Yeah, water and oil. Okay, velvet noise. Okay. Oh, take me now. Take me now. Yeah, I'm on board. I'm on board with velvet. Yeah, that and oil. Okay, Velvet Noise. Okay. Oh, take me now. Take me now. Yeah, I'm on board. I'm on board with Velvet. Yeah, that's a warm hug, that one.

Can you play two at once? Which ones do you want? Could you play Velvet and Deep Blue for me? Absolutely. Custom playlist. Well, it's just kind of giving it some bass there. Oh. Oh, no.

Can you play, um, can you play, what was that last one you played? Spin it DJ Deep blue noise No no no the other one Velvet Velvet and brown Velvet and brown Okay

But you're probably just creating Another noise Yeah yeah yeah Or is already on the spectrum Could be chartreuse What else have you got? That's just white Is that all of them?. Is that all of them?

Yeah. Is that all of them? I think. Oh, that's a buzzer. I can't sleep to that. Okay. Now play that again. I could.

Oh, I'm snoozing. Oh, I'm snoozing. No. No. What is this, a game show? Okay, so final rankings. Okay. Browns.

I don't want any of these noises. I'd rather fall asleep. Have you tried though? No, I've got no time for it. If anybody lives by that, don't knock it till you noises. I'd rather fall asleep. Have you tried, though? No, I've got no time for it. If anybody lives by that, don't knock it until you've tried it. It's you. I live in the city. There's enough background noise and a hum already.

It's all murders and gunshots. Sirens and gunshots. And that is very soothing. And the rattle of a spray can. Mind you, when that spray can comes out, that's got a white noise vibe. I have literally slept through someone tagging the side of my building two metres from where I sleep.

It's relaxing. Okay, you got, because I feel like we're still on the number one. Okay. Pink sucked. Velvet, I think is number two. Pitter Snakes, is that up there? No, Pitter Snakes is off. Okay.

Pitter Snakes. And then dark blue. So brown, velvet, dark blue. Dark No, Pita Snakes is off. Okay. Pita Snakes. And then Dark Blue. So Brown, Velvet, Dark Blue. Dark Blue, Deep Blue. Deep Blue Noise. I'm going to go Brown Noise number one for sure. It's got depth, it's got variance, it's got flavour. Okay, yeah.

Velvet Noise was nice. It's my first time hearing that actually and I'm just going on, I'm just having a look to see if there's a Velvet Noise playlist. Do you use like your smart speaker or like your phone? my first time hearing that actually and I'm just going on, I'm just having a look to see if there's a Velvet Noise playlist. Do you use like your smart speaker or like your phone? So my smart speaker,

the first time I asked for Brown Noise, it said, how long would you like to play it for? And I didn't answer and it said, oh, I'll play you one hour of Brown Noise. Yeah. And now I can't get it to play any longer.

Right. So I found a YouTube that is... Oh, I've just got a playlist and it's longer than I would sleep. Right. 12 hours on a YouTube that is... Oh, I've just got a playlist and it's longer than I would sleep. Right. 12 hours on a YouTube. Yeah. And then I press play

because I pay for premium so I can lock the screen. I can lock the screen. I don't. Very nice. And then I just crank that all night long until I wake up.

That is wild. You've got to charge your phone though. It's on the charge as it's doing. You've got to charge your phone. Okay, brown noise

is definitely number one. I'm going to go Pit of Snakes number three. And at two, I'll phone. Okay, brown noise is definitely number one. I'm going to go pit of snakes number three. And at two, I'll go... Wait, you liked pit of snakes? Yeah, there's something about it that makes me laugh. But not to fall asleep to.

Yeah, I don't know. That wasn't pit of snakes. No, that wasn't pit of snakes. That was pit of snakes. That wasn't pit of snakes. That's pit of snakes. Oh, no, that's awful, actually. Violet.

Yeah, yeah. No, that makes me feel sick. Take it off the list. I was going to say, please take this seriously. Okay, brown noise, velvet noise, deep blue noise. And you are crime... Said the same. Murder sirens.

Sirens. Yeah, those are my get-to-sleep noises. Drunken people coming home from a bar. Yep. Somebody said, I listen to your podcast to put me to sleep. What kind of noise is that? Is that an insult or a compliment?

It's nasal. I think that's nasal noise Nasal noise 2024 I wouldn't say Has got off to the best fitness start For yours truly I was hissing a roar This week

Peed it out Crumbled I Oh actually over the Summer I went for the summer I went for a few runs. Okay. Like a run in the summer before it gets too hot. That's good. But I just don't care.

You know? I do know. It's bad. I know I should, but I don't. Yeah. And yesterday I was driving home and I've got a lot of jobs to do. Around the farm let. He's got jobs to do. A lot of jobs to do. You've always got jobs to do.

A lot of jobs to do around the farm let. I thought you were just going to put your feet up, my friend. The job, well, see, I don't get home and I don't put my feet up too often. If I put my feet up, I'll have a hard nap with some sweet brown noise and then have the ground running after the nap, a little bit of a recharge. Yesterday was cutting a lot off the macadamia nut tree, which is just really a rat's nest up the top there. The rat's liver.

I would have just put petrol on it and walked away. The whole tree? Yeah, would have set it on fire. Burn the tree and the rats. All the trees would have caught fire. But imagine how nice it would have smelled, like toasted macadamias. And rat.

Like a meaty, meaty macadamia. Yeah, yum. I'm actually not upset. No, I am. Doesn't sound good at all. But that's why I'm covered in a thousand tiny scratches today. You are literally, look at that arm. Look at your right arm.

Macadamia nut and you're fought back. Look at that. Yeah. Tiny. Just a little tiny scratches from that. But when I was driving home, that was my- We should have squeezed lemons on him. We should have got lemons, eh?

Make him roll in lemon juice. Yeah. Radio. Salt and lemon. And so yesterday I knew I had that to do when I got home. So I had a job. So that was the justification for a last minute two lane change, left turn rather than going straight to the gym.

I literally was approaching the lights. I was like, okay, it's green, both the arrow to turn left, and to go through is straight. I'm in the straight lane. I don't want to go. I'm going home. I was like, I checked and I was there and I went, woo, across two lanes and left.

He just went straight home. I went home instead. I like that. You know, because I had jobs to do. Yeah, right. So I figured I wasn't going to go home and do nothing. And I still closed my rings. But you were so close, you could have just literally gone in and parked.

Nah. Aaron missed a call from the gym, and he goes, the same gym as you, yesterday. And he only missed it because we were polishing off a box of pals on the couch. And we were like, dream. They did ask me about Aaron the other day. Cracking into can three And he was like, who's that? They said, how's your tall friend

With long hair who only comes here for a shower That's what they said He hasn't been in for a shower for a while Because they've got a shower now They didn't mention me, eh? Remember I was sneaking in for a shower No, you were tailgating in for a shower No, they didn't mention you

But they didn't mention my tall friend who only came for a shower Well, he's wanting to get back to the gym But Box of Power's landed on our lap I was tailgating in for a shower. I was tailgating in for a shower. No, they didn't mention you, but they did mention my tall friend who only came for a shower. Well, he's wanting to get back to the gym, but Box of Powers landed on our lap. He's getting the weight, isn't he? Yeah, totally. Yeah. Did that thing where he slipped and he fell onto the couch.

One can, two can, three can. Oh, no, that's it. That was the edge of them. And then he's buried under them and the only way out is to drink his way out of them. And he couldn't lift all the cans because he'd been going to the gym. Yeah. Oh, yes, of course. Not until they were empty and significantly lighter, of course.

It's a vicious cycle, isn't it? At least you didn't. The worst I've done was I drove to the gym, I parked in the gym and I was in the car park of the gym. And for our car park, it clocks you in and you tag in and you get the discount.

And then I was sitting in the car and then I was like, nah, actually. Yeah, not today. I just left. Not today, Jim. Not today, Jim. Not today. I don't have time for you. Did you have to pay for the parking though?

Yeah, because I didn't tag my Les Mills thing. So it starts clocking in. I was like, ah. You didn't just go in to get the free parking and then come back out? More embarrassing. Yeah. I just tagged in so I get free parking and then walk straight back out. No thanks.

How many times did you go to the gym yesterday? Three times probably. Twice? No, it was. Yeah, but did you do a walk and a swim and a bike ride? Swim. Swim and a gym. That's twice.

That's twice. Jesus Christ. It's not twice. On average, you've done enough for the show. I've done enough for the show yesterday. Oh, thank you. Okay, you're welcome. I can't wait to get the benefits for the show yesterday. Oh, thank you. You're welcome. I can't wait to get the benefits of you working out.

I'm just going to get a Zen pic next on the show. And risk death. With the side effect death. This is the known side effect now, death. I've had an idea. New Zealand has come third on a list. And this is congratulations to us, New Zealand has come third on a list. And this is congratulations to us, New Zealand.

Although we have, by the way, slipped from two the year before to number three. We are the third least corrupt country. Congratulations, New Zealand. Feels good. That feels good. It feels good. So Denmark took out the top spot. Of course they did. And then Finland.

Of course they did. And then Finland. Of course they did. And then it's us on 87 points. Wait, but I thought Jacinda was making us more corrupt. So she left and we actually slipped a list. Yeah, jab Cinda. Now, this is mainstream media bullshit is what you're reading me. I shan't believe it. So this is like a big list.

They do this all over the world. There's all kinds of criteria. But it's good though. It doesn't mean corrupt. Our police force and our politics. Do you remember that lady from Desperate Housewives, that school admissions scandal where they were paying money to get their kids into private school and that kind of thing that happens.

And you know when you go travelling, people are like, oh, you might need to slip the police when they pull you over 50 bucks. And you're like, well, do you do- Always have cash just in case someone's there and you've got to go like- And like, we don't have to experience that

and that's great. Or like you need to- Sometimes I slip the police a little bit. You need to get like, you know, your building thing from the council. You just give the guy a hundred bucks. That doesn't happen here. Is that how you get that done? Is that where we're going wrong?

Maybe some corruption would be nice of that spirit. Actually, I don't want to be third. I want to live in a more corrupt country. Get some shit done right here. Here's my idea because this is like, we've done really well. We're third. We're the third least corrupt country but i want to open up the phone lines now and i don't want any names of businesses or names

of people but do you know of something corrupt that's happened have you been involved or have you paid someone off have you got out of something yeah somehow fantastic a little quid pro quo tell us about some corruption happening in Aotearoa. Maybe because we are the third least country, no one will call. It could be impossible. It could be the impossible phone-up. But have you been involved in some corruption

or do you know of some? A cashier's corruption? No, I wouldn't know. And I also haven't partaken in any cashiers during my entire renovation. Why would you even bring that up? I wouldn't know. And I also haven't partaken in any cashies during my entire renovation. Why would you even bring that up? I'm not even looking at you. I would not.

But that is corruption because that's not paying tax, right? Well, colour me corrupt. Well, well, well. I mean, that's definitely at the lighter end of corruption. My accountant said if a tradie ever offers you a cash, say, I'll do it for a cashie, they say they should be doing it for under half price. So any time a tradie said to me, I only chance of a tradie ever offers you a cash, say, I'll do it for a cashie, they say they should be doing it for under half price. So anytime a tradie said to me,

I need a chance of a cashie, and I throw them the price, and they're like, what? I'm like, my accountant told me. That sure stops them in their tradie tracks. Yeah. Okay, well, 0800DARLSATM, you can text through 9696.

New Zealand is the third least corrupt country. Tell us something corrupt that's happened in New Zealand is the third least corrupt country Tell us something corrupt That's happened in New Zealand Because is this true? We've got to get ourselves lower down on this here list So New Zealand is now the third least corrupt country in the world According to global rankings Global rankings

That's a different ranking That's a different ranking system The New Zealand globals And we want to know... I think we're about 18th. We want to know if this is true. Is this true? Is New Zealand the third least corrupt country?

Oh, well, I think there's some corruption happening. Okay, so your text messages first. My husband is corrupt. He's a teacher, and today he's playing golf after school. He's getting another teacher to mind the kids in his classroom for the last half an hour of the day so he can leave early. Corruption! He's a teacher and today he's playing golf after school. He's getting another teacher to mind the kids in his classroom for the last half an hour of the day so he can leave early. Corruption! Corrupt! He's told the principal he has an appointment.

I'm so mad! Corruption. That's corruption. Yeah, that is. Corruption of the highest order. Somebody said supermarkets. I mean, hard to argue. I work at a daycare and I know of families who jumped the wait list of a hundred other families

because they knew someone who knew someone at the daycare. Pure chaos. Or chaos. Corruption. Depending on your pronunciation of this.

It's chaos. It's chaos. I can miss the S. Yeah. The H, sorry. I got a 40k pay rise in a brand new company car of my choosing at 23

because I found out about the boss's affair with a colleague. Wait, is that blackmail? Blackmail is a form of corruption. That's corruption. Yeah, it is.

Okay. Not me, but I heard someone in the government's sister-in-law works with Big Tobacco and they've just gone back on all their smoke-free promises. Somebody said

we've got a bloody amazing auditor general's office. Do we? That's why we're least corrupt. Do we? They, like, don't be corrupt. What do they do? Auditor general. NZ.

That's a role I've not even heard of. Controller and auditor general of New Zealand. John Ryan began his seven-year term as controller on 2nd of July 2018. Well he's not going to like that teacher playing golf is he? He is going to be on that teacher. He's going to be pissed about that. We'll keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 dials it in.

Tell us something corrupt that's happening in New Zealand. Because apparently we're not that corrupt. Apparently New Zealand has ranked third least corrupt country in the world. Second only to the beautiful Scandinavian countries. Yeah, they're good. They're happy, they're not corrupt. They do it better.

And they've got great pay of bloody fortune for a big man like that, don't they? Give me a bit of corruption and a cheap burgie. And a cheap burgie. I trade it all for a cheap burgie. We're asking you to tell us some corruption that you've encountered. Yeah, because we simply don't believe that we're that great.

Somebody say, it's so New Zealand, I'm going to say. No, we're not. We're pretty corrupt. If we're looking at it, because we mentioned before, a teacher's knocking off early to play golf this afternoon. Corruption. Getting another teacher to look after the class for the last half hour. Someone said, oh, us teachers are a bad lot when it comes to this.

I've organised my brow tattoo appointments twice under the guise of a medical appointment. But technically it is a medical appointment. Yeah, because medically you need to look good. You can't have the kids knocking your brows because they're thin. Yeah, so that could lead to psychological abuse. Exactly. Which then would lead to mental health. It's medical.

I think we've justified that for you. Yeah. I don't know. You'd rather your kids were taught. It's medical. I think we've justified that for you. Yeah. I don't know. You'd rather your kids were taught. Yeah. There's a lot of corruption. Is there? Are you dancing?

Are you dancing around? He's dancing. I can see him dancing. People dobbing themselves in for corruption. You're good. Somebody said, I was at the track driving my car and I was thrashing it. Now, I guess they're

at a racetrack. Yeah. Like a certified track. And I was thrashing it and something went awfully wrong and it broke. I limped it out

to the side of the road and then called in and said, it was still under warranty but the warranty wouldn't have been void if I'd been on a racetrack. I had to be on a public road.

So I limped it out to the road, called them, and they came in, like, fixed it, and got it all covered for. That's corruption. That sounds pretty corrupt to me. That's absolutely corrupt.

Somebody else said that they used to have a war in a fitness place where they'd go down and they certainly shouldn't have been getting a war in a fitness, but a slab of beers for boys on the Friday afternoon got them a cheap washout. Places have been done, haven't they?

And then they've had to get everybody to redo their wafts. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Do you remember that was in the news last year? Get a big recall of that. Yeah.

Yeah. Someone said, is this corruption? A friend and I went to the beach for a smoke. On our way back, there was a cop stop. We had the whole car stunk.

The cop didn't care, but he made us get out of the car and do squats, press ups, and walk on a line to prove we were able to drive I know in America They do the sobriety field test But I don't think

Is that a thing here? It's so strange It's probably just for their entertainment Yeah, yeah, yeah Walk along the line, do a dance Didn't tell us off But did take two of the joints We had in the cup holder

And didn't like smash them up in front of us And like chuck them on the ground Pocketed them Right Come on, the boys in blue Need a little relax Can you imagine being one of the boys in blue Hold it. And didn't like smash them up in front of us and like chuck them on the ground. Pocketed them. Right. Come on, the boys in blue need a little relax. You imagine being one of the boys in blue dealing with all the shenanigans. Yeah.

Go home, kick your feet up, smoke a little, have a little relax. Have a little hashish. That's corrupt. Something and something. Some of these, I've just got to go. People are very much incriminating themselves. Yeah, I know.

I'm literally like, how are we doing this? My friends and I were in Northland a few weeks ago camping when my friend was a little bit naughty. He did a donut. Oh, okay. In a paddock. Yeah. Unfortunately, it was caught on CCTV.

The next day, we were kept out of the campgrounds. However, we were given the opportunity to pay a $2,000 fine. Unofficial fine. Unofficial fine to gather, to gain re-entrance to the campground. That's corrupt isn't it? Is that corrupt? But if it's their land they can do what they want can't they? It's like those people with their own

things they put on your wheels. What are those called? Clampers. Clampers. They clamp on their own thing and then they'll let you out for a little cashy cash. You can buy, there's like four keys for those on AliExpress. You can buy your own key. Stick them on your key ring. Yep.

Yeah. Bye. Yeah. Yeah. Our board of trustees personally picked out a person to be co-opted rather than put to the community

to choose via votes. Oh, because you vote for your board of trustees. Right. Oh, got a bit of drama on the bot. They wanted someone on the bot there.

Big bot drama. They just wanted a bit of drama on the bot. They wanted someone on the bot there. Big bot drama. They just wanted somebody who wouldn't rock the boat of the old school club they had going on. Oh, yeah. Oh, you don't want an entrenched bot. Surely that's dropped it. This must have dropped us down to about fifth. I'm just lucky now we've gone down to sixth. Have we? We've done it.

We've gone. We've done it. We've done it. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play Zed-In. We did some recording We had a bit of a chat about some stuff And then we did a little hooey We were like let's have a little hooey, let's have a little coffee And Fletch was like well I've got a gym class A quarter past ten and I'm hungry I'm going to need some sushi The whole time we were eating

You see him look at his watch? Like we're just keeping him Well you were also meant to be joining me at that But somehow you managed to weasel out of that again Flag that So we're at home. Flag that. I told you, me and Vaughn aren't gymming at the moment. So we're at a cafe. We're having coffee. Yep.

From the cafe. A scone. A scone. Fledged rocks up with sushi. Plastic takeaway tray. Hates the environment, this guy. Not from the cafe that we're at. Not from the cafe we're at.

You can eat food from another cafe or place if you're buying something from that place and I had a coffee. So technically that was a loophole. I bought that so you would have to ask my permission if it was all right to eat. You actually just arrived and only brought sushi for yourself.

The coffee for you was shouted. So technically you didn't buy anything. So here's a tray of sushi. Yep. Num, num, num, num. Constantly looking at the watch. I've got these people that I love and work with are keeping me. Num, num, num. Scoff, scoff, scoff, scoff. Yeah, gotta go watch I've got these people that I love and work with are keeping me

num num num scoff scoff scoff gotta go we've got dine in so we've got the ceramic cups for the coffee they're sitting there and a plate

and when we leave we stack it all nicely who just walks away from his plastic sushi tray with a little soy fish sat in there little wooden chopsticks rammed inside

he walked away from rubbish A little soy fish sat in there. Little wooden chopsticks rammed inside. He walked away from rubbish that didn't come from the cafe without stacking it or anything. I've got a gym class to get to. Anyway, I'll see you guys tomorrow. I don't see the problem here. You guys just put my sushi tray in the bin. It's right there. Putting your sushi tray in the bin?

We all left together. We all went to the same time. No, no, no. You didn't leave it for us to take. We all left at the same time. You were still. No, no, no. You didn't leave it for us to take. You left it for the cafe staff. No, you were still there. Who are now going to come out and be like. Well, that's.

We don't do that. This is a rubber sheet. I left you two sitting there. So you're in charge of cleaning the table. We all left at the same time. We all left and stood up at the same time. I left earlier. You just bounded up and sprinted away because you had to get back to your drinking class.

We watched you parading off the street. That's when we looked back and we said oh my god, that piece of shit has literally left the sushi tray from a different place. You didn't clean everything up. Don't look at us! You were last at the table. It's your responsibility.

It's not it at all. You bought rubbish from another outlet. It wasn't rubbish at the time. It was full of sushi. Well, as soon as I asked for some sushi, it was, and you walked away from it. Then it becomes rubbish. And you left it to that cafe's problem.

You owe the cafe near work. I don't want to be blacklisted by that cafe. You what? I don't want to be blacklisted. No, do I? That's just right across the road from work. We still purchased a coffee from there. It was okay.

No, they had to put in their bins your rubbish. In my head, I left you guys at the table, so that's your responsibility. We literally all stood up at the same time. Your legs just hopped off the bench quicker than ours. Because we're not... We promised you down the street. 2024 is the year where I will not be hurried.

I will not be rushed. Oh my God, you won't be. Every year you'll never be rushed. No, I know, but particularly this year. Okay. Just next time. I tell you what, people are livid. Your postman, the potential postman, has had his title revoked.

Fletch, you're a psycho. Okay, for the record, I, at a food court, will always put my tray back. Always. This is... Always. We literally went to a food court, like, two weeks ago. We literally went to a food court like two weeks ago. We literally went like two weeks ago. And Hayley left her tray there to pick it up.

We stood up from the food court, which is a fancy food court, by the way. We stood up and he just walked away and I said, oh, all right, stacked his tray and took it and emptied it myself and then put the tray back. And you looked at me and you were too busy perving at some Latino. All right, tell me more about the Latino. Hold on, hold on. There was no Latino.

You were busy perving at a Latino, giving me eyes saying, look at this Latino, look at this Latino. That was a game where Hayley was like, you have to sleep with someone at the food court and it was so hard. Yeah, and then we found a Latino that we both agreed on. Only right at the end.

Oh my God. You never take your tray. I took your tray. Someone raises a good question. This is coming from a standpoint where you haven't been slowly, like, used to Fletcher's wild behavior. Someone said, who in their right mind before a gym class drinks a coffee and has sushi and doesn't shit themselves?

At 10 a.m. Taking swift ablutions. Swift ablutions earlier that day. This guy's ablutions are so swift. Yeah. You think he's number one? And he's number two times two. Yeah.

That's why, because he lives on coffee and bloody rice. People are not happy. People are not happy with you. You need to sort your behavior. He's living on UN health drop rations. If it's not dropped out the back of a Hercules plane, I'm not interested. If it can't be parachuted into a war zone,

he won't eat it. People are not happy with you. Our cafe owners are livid. There's a few cafe owners that have messaged him. I'm supporting the cafe by drinking the coffee there. Purchase the coffee. Sorry, Vaughan purchased the coffee. Yeah, but it was still a coffee purchased.

By Vaughan Smith who didn't bring in food from... Not by the guy who had a tray of sushi. Which I thought was a bold move, but to just walk away from the rubbish. I mean, there's white arrogance and then there's this. Then there's that. That is something else. I apologise.

I honestly thought my friends would clean them after me, but obviously not. Somebody said, you're not the poster, you're the person that steals out of your letterbox when you're not home. Yeah, you are. Yeah, that's what he is. Wow.

He's the package thief. Just sniff around. Next Thursday will be the last Taylor Thursday ahead of the Errors Tour that hits Australia soon. Everyone just remain calm. We should send out like Larazapams or something. Do you know what I mean? There's nearly half a million tickets sold in Australia.

We've got the last two. I know, it's wild. Make sure you listen next Thursday. We kick it off 6am. Now, speaking of Taylor Swift, we have some resident Swifties here. Both Carwen and Shannon love Taylor Swift. Carwen managed to get tickets.

She's preparing to go. And not only one concert. Why are you looking at me like that? Because you're hogging the tickets. Two, not many. I mean, yeah, but there's someone that could have gone to that other concert. Do you know what I mean? There's two concerts that I didn't get to see, so it kind of evens out.

Okay. What two concerts did you get to see? I didn't get to go to Red because kind of evens out. Okay. What two concerts didn't you get to see? I didn't get to go to Red because it was during my school exams. Which one was that? Because I went to Red and it rained. No, that was Reputation. Yeah, Reputation.

Oh, God, I don't know. And I didn't go to 1989 because she did the same as this time when she didn't come to New Zealand. Right, right. Now, Shannon, you love Taylor Swift. You're a big Swifty. Every time a Swifty song comes on, she's rocking out, she's dancing. However, she didn't come to New Zealand. Right, right. Now, Shannon, you love Taylor Swift. You're a big Swifty. Every time a Swifty song comes on,

she's rocking out, she's dancing. However, you didn't get tickets. Oh, no, but you've got to, you're going, why don't you just let Shannon go to the other concert? Oh, my God,

because these guys are like best friends. That would be, that is so nice. I know, that would be so lovely. Wouldn't that be nice? It would be so lovely. And if photo ID's required,

it'll be fine because you're both born here. It looks the same. People around here think you're the same person and they know who you are. See, I leave a sushi tray at a cafe that I didn't purchase a sushi from and I'm a bitch. You are. I'm glad to see you've come to your

senses about that. Thank God. Well, I'm just saying this is a bit bitch. You could just give it to her. Yeah, she could. No, no, no. I'm happy here. And I've got the concerts coming to Disney+. I'll be thrashing that. Same thing. With extra songs or something?

Yeah, yeah. So there's a few extra things. I'll be very excited to watch that. But Carwen has made you a slightly smaller offer. No, you can't go with her. Yes. But she might get you a little souvenir. Yeah, so she sent me the merch options and said,

would you want me to pick you up some merch? And because we've got merch between us and I love the Heiress Tour merch and there's some real cool ones Jesus, have you talked to the bank about a loan? Yeah, because that ain't cheap And that's actually really generous in Carwin as well because those lines for that merch will be

horrendous. And everything's limited as well. Yeah, it's very much like a souvenir piece. My question for you today, is it weird to get merch for a concert you haven't gone to? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's more like... But it is also like one of the biggest...

It's the biggest thing in history. ...cultural phenomenon, yeah, tour of history. It's hard because it's like, where's the line? Because I take real umbrage with people, like, you know, like little teeny boppers wearing their Metallica T-shirts because it's fashionable. I'm always like, name me your favourite album. Give me three songs.

But this is like with any music T-shirt. Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Ramones. Everyone always rocks a Ramones T-shirt. I said to a teenager over summer, I knew them, so it wasn't like a real dick old man move. It doesn't only go up to 10. I was like, without looking down, name all four of the Ramones. And they just looked at me and they're like,

what, who are the Ramones? I was like, oh my God. name all four of the Ramones. And they just looked at me and they're like, what? Who are the Ramones? I was like, oh, my God. You're wearing the T-shirt. But, like, I'm a big Swifty. If someone said that to me, they're getting an earful for the next 10 minutes. Here's my favorite outfit. It's not just a Taylor Swift T-shirt. It's a Taylor Swift tour T-shirt.

But I've seen the movie. Yeah, but you weren't there. Yeah, but she sells the stuff on the website, so she could buy it any time anyway. Totally, totally, totally, totally. You know what? Buy it from that guy that's just got a blanket of T-shirts down the road from the venue. It'll be itchy.

It'll be an itchy T-shirt with a bit of a skew of collar. One wash. And it might say errors with a Z. It'll say E-R-R-E-R-O-R-E. Errors. Errors. Just to get around some kind of litigation from Taylor Swift. I know what you mean, though.

She's very litigious. It's a pretty big moment in cultural history. And because I do truly love all of her eras, and I want to be there, and I'm excited to watch the concert and movie again. Yeah, but you're not, are you? But I'm not going. You're not there.

You're not helping her be a billionaire. Is it being a bit of a wannabe? People will see the t-shirt and be like, oh my God, what was it like? And you'll have to constantly be a billionaire is it being a bit of a wannabe people will see the t-shirt and be like oh my god what was it like and you'll have to constantly be like I wasn't there and they'll be like why are you wearing the t-shirt get that off your back or I could just lie I'll watch the live streams

anyway you know enough about it yeah I loved that surprise song it was so good yeah yeah yeah I loved she wore a glittery uni tart I leave a sushi tray at a cafe and then she wants to lie about being at a concert. That's worse. Not like for life.

That's worse. It's not like for life. It's not. That is worse. It's not the same. It feels worse to me. General consensus, not the same. No, absolutely.

Not even in the same league. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Halle. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's our fact of the day, the last of the Origins week and a half. Sayings, names, where they come from. Yeah, the more unusual ones. Today's an animal special. I'm just going to crank through a few how animals got their names.

I'm going to start with my favourite. This is my favourite. I requested zebra and you told me it was boring. It was boring. And I requested koala and he told me it was just... No, I told you it was koala. I've got koala. Okay. I've got koala for you.

I've got koala for you, but I'm starting with walrus. Okay. Walrus. Walrus. Where is that name from? Wal Okay. Walrus. Walrus. Where is that name from? Walrus. Walrus.

Is literally a corruption of the old Norse saying of whale horse. Whale horse. Oh, that makes sense. Walrus. Walrus. Walrus. It looks kind of like a whale. Whale horse.

Sort of horse-like. It's a whale horse. It's a whale horse. And then some people misheard them. Walrus. And then English. So it's just walrus. Speakers were like, okay, it's a walrus It's a walrus And then so people Misheard them Walrus And then English So it's just walrus Speakers were like

Okay it's a walrus It's a walrus Yeah you're great Classic Penguin Comes from Welsh For white head Peng

Is head Gwyn is white Penguin So because it had A white head It comes from the Welsh White headed bird I love hearing

Does what you suppose To a now extinct sea bird. Yeah. And when they first saw penguins, they thought it was that bird, but it wasn't. Does that, who's what, Benedict Cumberbatch? Benedict Cumberbatch can't say penguins. Does he still know?

Has he corrected himself? Graham Norton. Graham Norton. He's sassy, isn't he? Haven't you and Michael McIntyre have got your father and I through some tiffs, I'll tell you what. They've really put a smile on our doll. I think Graham Norton had him on

and had him up about it. Oh, right, okay. The word koala derives from an Aboriginal word meaning no drink because they get most of the moisture from the leaves. Eucalyptus. Oh, I remember when that.

Drinking from the ground. Fireman was giving that koala a water bottle. That was an iconic photo. I donated money. I donated money to that. Can we just pause? How much? I donated money.

How much? To the Celeste Barber cause. No, not to Celeste Barber. Was it Celeste Barber that raised like- It was WWF, the World Wrestling Federation. I believe it was about $50. So the koalas dug themselves out of debt. They turned to wrestling.

$50. It had a five in it. So it could have been five. It could have been five. It could have been five. $50. So the koalas dug themselves out of debt. They turned to wrestling. $50. It had a five in it. So it could have been five. It could have been five. It could have been five. $15. Right. Yeah, I love koalas.

Okay, well, that's like two one and a half pump bottles. Hippopotamus. That's a funny word. That literally means river horse in Greek. So they're all just horses, aren't they? Yeah, a lot of horses. Because I guess horses were the most popular sort of animals. Yeah.

They were very... No animals helped humans as much as horses throughout history. Raccoon. Oh. Where do you think raccoon comes from? It comes from a Native American word meaning he scratches with his hands. Oh, because they go like this. Yeah.

Before that, do you know what the English word for raccoon was? What? Wash bears. Wash bears. Because they wash their food before they eat it. Cute. Yeah. So is that all you want? Yeah,. Wash bears. Because they wash their food before they eat it. Cute. Yeah. So is that all you want?

Yeah, that's good. I've cranked through a few of them there. Yeah, that's great. I've really enjoyed Origin week and a half. Yeah, me too. It's been good. Me too. What are you going to do next week?

I don't know yet. Any ideas? I don't know yet. Don't make it World War II week. I was wrong about that. No. I could do World War II. Next week I could do World War II land.

Then the week after that, World War II sea. And then the week after that, World War II air. There's too much World War II. There's never enough. Those men went through hell. Yeah. We deserve to. Laugh out louder with Fletchford and Hayley.

World War II. These men went through hell. These men went through hell. So that's the end. Too much to surmise in one sentence about things like that. All of the Origins pods will be dropping today as well. Oh, yeah, right. In a nice little series.

Oh, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Well, I guess that's today's... Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Now I've just been watching a drama unfold on the wonderful platform that is TikTok It's a four part saga Basically I'll give you the gist rather than the full four part saga because we don't have time's a four-part saga. Basically, I'll give you the gist rather than the full four-part saga because we don't have time for a four-part saga.

Maybe just a one part. A woman sees her boyfriend on the phone. Yeah. And then she says, who are you talking to? Innocent question. He says- He's talking on the phone.

Do you not talk on the phone? None less absolutely necessary. Oh my God, I love talking on the phone. He's talking on the phone. She says, who are you talking to? He says, it's my mum. And then he hangs up and she sees, peeping on her screen, she's peeping on her screen a little bit,

blonde number eight is the name that has been saved there. So I saw my mum, it's blonde. Yeah, she's been known to rock a great blonde. Yeah, yeah. My mum's currently blonde, so known to rock a great blonde. My mum's currently blonde, so she could be blonde number eight. She has to be blonde number nine, because I've already got a blonde number eight.

Who are the other seven blondes? Don't even get me started. We don't even get into that. Blonde number eight. She says, who's blonde number eight? Now this woman has the nous to snatch the phone before it's locked. And she says, I'm just going to call blonde number eight.

And like runs away and she calls blonde number eight. Runs away with his phone. Where it is revealed that blonde number eight has been seeing this gentleman for a couple of months. Now the woman holding the phone and talking to blonde number eight has been with this guy for four years. Blonde number eight reveals that she's been seeing him for a couple of months and actually it's getting quite serious.

That's what we call a crossover in the industry. This isn't a crossover, this is called cheating. Yeah, like a crossfade in the industry. You're fading one out as you're fading another up. I think it's a PowerPoint checkerboard. Oh, it's got a right interlock, like a jigsaw. Checkerboard, like a jigsaw. Yeah.

And so the woman's on the phone and she's like, okay, well, let's explain this. Can you explain this to me? They're getting, they're realising what's going on here. Now, instead of the other woman, not blonde number eight, but the one who's been with him for years, absolutely losing her shite, they start gassing. They're just having a little gas, they're having a little chat.

They decide to meet up and have lunch and just to sort of, you know, exchange stories. Wow, okay. Exchange receipts. And do you reckon they were like, so when you were on holiday or away for a week, he said he was doing this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And just to get everything...

It's all unraveling. Oh, wow, okay. What they reveal like many videos later, part four of the part four saga, they meet up and have lunch and they get on like a house on fire and they're mates. They've become friends. Obviously, they've both got rid of the guy, right?

Oh, 100%. He's gone. He's gone. He's a dirtbag. We've decided he's a dirtbag. But what they got from this scandal was a beautiful new friendship. Now, if he's got a type, you'd imagine that, of course, those women are going to get on. They have things in common, right?

Yeah, maybe similar personalities. Although I still don't get why people cheat with exactly the same person as their girlfriend or boyfriend. Kanye West, it's like your new wife is like a weirder Kim Kardashian. Like a poorer Kim Kardashian. Anyway, I want to know from our listeners if you've ever become

friends with the other woman or the other man. You know what I mean? If you've ever sort of befriended the person that your partner betrayed you. And now you're years later or months later are still great friends. Probably easier to get on if you didn't know about each other or probably harder to get on if the other person knew that he had a partner. Yes. Yes.

Because then you're like, you are betraying me as well. A part of this, yeah. Whereas these women didn't know about each other. Yeah, you couldn't become friends with someone that knew that you were around. Well, have you? You never know. We could hear from those people. We want to know if you became friends with the other woman,

the person that your partner was cheating on you with. Now, Anonymous has called up, you became more than friends with the other woman, the person that your partner was cheating on you with. Now, Anonymous has called up, you became more than friends with the other woman. Yes, yes, we did. Sorry. Sorry. Wow, Hayley is bored. A non-hetero.

Yeah, yeah. Hang on, hang on. Start at the beginning So I'd found out that my husband Had added A woman on Snapchat I mean that's embarrassing that he was on Snapchat Yeah

And they were messaging And stuff So I kind of messaged her And We started chatting She sounded great And so I was of messaged her and we started chatting. She sounded great, and so I was like, we should catch up, because we could totally be friends.

And then after a while, me and her are now together, and my husband and I are not. This is fantastic. This is wild. So your husband was... Did he ever go through with anything? No. Fleddy chat. This is fantastic. This is wild. So your husband was, did he ever go through with anything?

No, no, it was just. Fleddy chap, Fleddy chap. Did she know that you existed? She did. She knew that he had a wife. Yes, she did. I like this, I like this. The old tradition goes that you cut his lunch, but you cut his lunch and gobbled it up.

Yeah, you did. He didn't even get any sandwich. He didn't get any sandwich, and you were like, cut, cut, cut, gobble, gobble, gobble. So how quickly did you get rid of him? How quickly was he dumped? Would have been probably about six months after the fact. And what did he think when you said,

I'm leaving you and I'm with the woman that you were flirty chatting with. He was a bit hurt by that. He shouldn't have been flirty chatting, did he? He did it to himself though, didn't he? Oh my God, Anonymous, I love this so much. What a great story. I know.

What a great story, Anonymous. And are you still in a relationship with this woman? Yes, yes, it's great. How many years later is this or how long, much longer? So we've officially been dating for just over a year. We live together and stuff and it's amazing. But in gay and lesbian years, that's like forever. That's long term.

That's five straight years. That's five straight years. They moved in together after they'd known each other for an hour and a half. That's the lesbian way. But it's lasted for eight lesbian lifetimes. Wait, one last question, Anonymous. Before you started chatting with this woman and then ended up with her,

had you been with women in the past? No. Just a turn around. I love it. Hayley's loving it. You're really loving this story, aren't you? I don't know. There's just like a world where this also happens to me.

Do you know what I mean? I'm just a vegan mate now. And you're a vegan? No. Oh, it was nearly a habit. Oh, right. Okay. Oh my God, I love this. I love this so much. Congratulations. So good, Anonymous. And you're a vegan! Oh, it was nearly a habit. Oh, right, okay. Oh my god, I love this.

I love this so much. Congratulations. So good. Anonymous, thank you. Keep your texts coming in 9696. We'll get to more of those next. What is sexuality, you know? What is it? It's a construct, man. It is. That is a great story. I'm just loving it. I'm just loving it.

Were you friends, did you become friends with the other woman or the other man? Yeah. The person that your person cheated on you with. Some messages in. It's happened.

I tell you what, and we heard before about someone who's in a relationship with a woman their ex-husband was pursuing while we were together more than once. Wow. More than once.

Let me open the text machine. You have a little feast on that. Let me have a little feast. My best friend and I are now met because we have the same ex. We own a business together. It's very successful. We're pretty sure he's still living with his mum at 26.

Oh boo hoo mama. I'm still friends with the other woman. When I broke off my ex, a mutual friend of me and the other girl dragged me to her house. Turned out well. I married her flatmate. She did a reading at our wedding. Here we are 23 years later. Wow.

That's nice. My partner of three years was seeing somebody else on the side. I find out. Did a Facebook stalk. Sent her a message. We ended up dating for a year. Here's another one. Karma is a petty bitch and I am karma.

I was seeing a guy for six months. When I was 16 years old, I found out he was seeing another girl who I went to primary school with. For a few months too, we started talking. We became best mates. Still best mates today. And we're 48 years old, I found out he was seeing another girl who I went to primary school with for a few months too. We started talking, became best mates, still best mates today, and we're 48 years old. Wow, that's cool. The sisterhood, eh? The sisterhood.

The sisterhood. When you find your people. My ex-boyfriend, who I wasn't over, got a new girlfriend, who I believe there was some crossover with. We ended up meeting through a mutual friend group and got on really well. Both eventually left the common boyfriend and stayed friends for another 12 to 13 years. And then what did it end?

Now that feels like the friendship's ended, doesn't it? Because we put a date. Or it might be at the 12 to 13 mark. Could be. Dad left mum for another woman, but then cheated on the other woman too. Then mum and the other woman became friends and went clubbing together. I reckon Danny Doolins. Sometimes you've got to club it out.

I've got to make Danny Doolins feel about mum and the other woman going out for a few drinks. Mum's on the prowl. Love it. See you guys happen. See you, see you later. Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there. That's copyrighted. Susie Cato is a very good friend of mine. She's already sued me twice.

So if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action, that would be great. Tell her I'll review her five stars. Yeah. If she does the same for this podcast. Yeah. And then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well.
