The ZM Podcast Network. The Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. We're down to Hayley today. Yeah.

Making way back from Australia. She was filming Have You Been Paying Attention Australia. The Australian one, yeah. Because they didn't cancel that one, did they? Just your one. Yeah, that's correct. It's such a big deal over there. Yeah.

Have you been paying attention, Aussie? Yeah. That's how it got started here. It wasn't quite as big a deal. Oh, hey. It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't.

You have to wait months to get tickets. Oh, years. Yeah, it's insane, the wait list. Yeah, it's crazy. But, so, Yeah, it's insane, the wait list. Yeah, it's crazy. But so, yeah, she's gone over and done that. Yep, so she'll be back with us tomorrow on the show. Celebrity Treasure Island starts tonight on our television and streaming screens. Streaming screens.

She chose the most difficult way in the world to say that. It just starts tonight. Watch it wherever. CTI starts tonight. Yeah. You guys know where. We have one of the, do you call them contestants? I guess you do, right?

They're vying to win, aren't they? Jenae Henry is a comedian. I didn't mean to say that the feminine way. I just wanted to say it enunciated. A comedian that is on Celebrity Treasure Island this time around. Suzanne Paul. Suzanne Paul. The Suzanne that is on Celebrity Treasure Island this time around. Suzanne Paul. Suzanne Paul. The Suzanne Pauls

on Celebrity Treasure Island. Sports names too. Wairangi. Yeah. Christian Cullen. Yeah. The Paikakariki Express. Do they still call them that?

I don't know. It's probably slowed down a bit. Sorry. It's probably just the Paikakariki Crawler. Just a commuter. Just a casual commuter. Just a safe commuter speed now,

maybe. Yeah. So she'll join us in soon to talk about Celebrity Treasure Island. She's not kicked off. No. She's not out. Literally starting tonight. And it starts tonight.

We're not talking to her because she's the first eliminated. That would be a spoiler on it. We're just talking to her because she was available. She's available, yeah. And she's in the Aldi press. Next on the show, it seems everybody is getting Ozempic. Even though the celebrities are still denying it. Yeah.

But you see those lists like, you know, celebrities before and after. Who is it? Is it Sharon Osbourne? She's gone too far. She's also been doubling it up with a lot of tightening and plastic surgeries. Well, there's one unintended consequence, jeez, struggling to get my words out this morning, that people are finding after taking Ozempic.

And it's leading to the rise or the sag of something else. Well, a lot of celebrities, in fact, a lot of people around the world are on the Ozempic. The drugs like it, Weagovi, injectables, and they make you lose weight. Obviously the diabetic stote that everybody's using their medication that was invented for them as a life saver.

Like a lot of Americans struggling to get it and they need it. But it's been insanely popular. They reckon 15.5 million Americans have tried ozempic or similar drugs. 15.5 million. To lose weight. That's a lot.

In like the last year, because it has just like absolutely skyrocketed and taken off. Yeah. But this has caused all these people using these drugs. It's caused a huge surge in Brazilian butt lifts. Oh, yes. Why do they call them Brazilian butt lifts? Because they're over the U-vault. I think they were a point of origin.

Right. And maybe, no, is it because Brazilians have big delicious butts? I think it's because they've got delicious butts. Yeah. And so because you lose weight, their asses are sagging. Right. And so everybody's like, oh, damn. Right. I'm going to need to do something about this now.

And yeah, so there have been like plastic surgeons in New York, Las Vegas, Florida, just saying like business is booming. Because everyone's got saggy arses. So the lipo's not required. The skin tightening and the butt boosts are. Yeah. And it just like

sags down. You know how everyone's, you know, you see a lot of celebrities boost yeah and it just like sags down you know how everyone's you know you see a lot of celebrities their faces are just like blah yeah and then they get it

pulled back it's kind of melting away it's like Sharon Osbourne before right it's tight it's a tight wrap yeah okay in 1960

a surgeon named Ivo Patangua just a shot in the back it was great Portuguese founded here it was Portuguese founded the world's first plastic surgery

training centre in Brazil, where he pioneered and became known for the Brazilian butt lift and taught surgeons all over the globe how to perform his techniques. To make butts like Brazilians. Yeah. And it was just invented there. So it's just a butt lift that was invented in Brazil. Yeah.

Okay. But also pretty based on, again, those delicious Brazilian butts. Delicious? Delicious. Let me reframe. Those shapely derrieres. Shapely, yeah. Of the...

But there's some photos on this news story. Is that the same person? Yeah, it's the same person. Oh, my God. So they've taken a Zen pic, and then, yeah, the butt lift is on the right hand. So the butt sags. Yeah. The butt sags. Yeah. The butt sags. It loses the shape in the hips.

And this is taking the remaining bits and pieces and slamming it in the butt? Yeah, I'm guessing so. Again, portraits of words slamming it in the butt there. Injecting it into the butt? Okay, hold on. Here we go. Here we go. During the BBL, a process often referred to as butt contouring,

excess fat is carefully harvested from donor areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Flank, what, the muffins? Flanks. The flanks. Do you know what that's what I'm calling muffins now? The muffin top. Yeah, the muffin top. My flanks.

You got the flanks there. Yeah. Using liposuction, the harvested fat is then purified and injected strategically into specific regions of the buttocks, enhancing their shape and contour. This two-step process ensures that the fat is transferred in a way that achieves a natural-looking outcome. But if you're an OZN pick and you've been on a while, then you're not going to have a lot of fat left to take.

You may have those pesky pockets that you can never quite get. Right. The majority of it's gone, but there must be some residuals. Right, because a lot of it is also filler as well that's being injected in. Right, they're getting some filler in there. And apparently that, in US dollars, is around $6,500 for 20 syringes. But then what if you put the weight on? Where does the filler, does it stay there or dissolve?

Or do you get that taken out? Doesn't filler dissolve over time anyway? Unsure. Or it moves. Yeah, right. Well, that's something to just... No, it's not for me. Yeah, bear in mind. I'm happy with my saggy old Irish ass.

You should get the Irish ass lift. It's where you just eat so much like complex dense beige carbohydrates. You just start packing it on in the ass. And it just sags. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. A Blondes Who Eat TikTok account.

Blondes Who Eat. Let me see TikTok account. Blondes Who Eat. Let me see what else. Blondes Who Eat. What kind of things they post. Oh, it's food. Oh, yeah, okay. That looks like good barbecue. Oh, were you expecting like salads and stuff?

Yeah. And I was going to say that ain't eating. Okay, she eats. Okay, good. Good for her. Her top two are pinned to barbecue. And McDonald's in Italy. Okay, well. You get a. Her top to a pin to barbecue. And McDonald's in Italy. Okay, well.

You get a little, in McDonald's in Italy, you get a little fork to eat your fries with. What? Are you kidding? She's got a little two prong wooden fork. And now she's honing the burger. Good for her.

Talk to the show's sponsor about getting some tiny forks for fries. Oh, that'd be delightful. Yeah. But there is something good about licking your fingers. This Instagram, this TikToker has blown open Oh, that'd be delightful. Yeah. But there is something good about looking your fingers out. This Instagram and this TikToker has blown open a hidden fee.

Yeah. This better not start happening. So. This is in America. This is in America where you ask a tip on everything. They spin the little iPad around and you've just tipped, but you're asked if you want to tip again. Oh, yeah.

Tip, tip, tip. Tip, tip, tip. Tip, tip, tip. Tip, tip, tip. Do you want to tip? But in America, that's how a lot of them earn their wages. Yeah, but mostly hospitality. They're now retail. Oh, yeah. No.

Apparently there's a tip-a-demic. A tip-a-demic. In the States. You know, service workers, absolutely, because there's no minimum wage in a lot of states. Yeah. And that's how they make the majority of their income. But then retail, wild to ask for a tip. Wild.

Wild. Like you literally are just getting some T-shirts and you're on an hourly rate. Yeah. That's how that works. You know? Well, bartender, she got the receipt for a night out drinking and they were charged a prep fee for cocktails the shaken variety so if the cocktails

were shooketh they were charged a prep fee for them on top of the existing listed price for the cocktail that's in the price of the cocktail i know but america also doesn't include the tax on there i know you go out to eat and you're like, that's not too bad. But then once you account that it's probably going to be 20% more for a tip. And then the tax is not listed. I know, it gets you. You just got to work that out on yourself. And now she said being charged for prep of cocktails. If it was a simple pour cocktail, I don't believe it had the prep.

But the minute there was the arm shaking. I always feel sorry though when there's a busy bar and you go up and you order a round of cocktails for your friends and the hot dude with the biceps is volunteering to do the shaking because he looks ripped while he's doing it. Yeah, I feel really sorry for him. And all the ladies

at the bar that you're on a date with are looking at him being like, I wish I was on a date with the guy with the massive biceps who's shaking the hell out of that shaker. But I feel like I would if I was working behind a bar, I'd rather just pour easy drinks. Or do you think they like making the cocktails because then they don't have to deal with... I'd have a gimmick. I'd have a paint can shaker. You know, the ones that got a minor 10.

You put the paint, you put the drip, drip, drip in and then the fingers... Put all your espresso martini stuff in and then... Yeah. Okay. And do like 12 at once. And then line them up on the bar and walk down pouring them.

Fair point. This is why you always hire lazy people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To find shortcuts like this. Absolutely. Nobody's hot biceps are getting a show

off on the bar though. But everyone gets to watch the paint makes it do its thing. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A red brick wall in a park in New York City has become New York's biggest pick-up spot.

Oh. As singles flock to this wall twice a week, every Saturday and Sunday from noon until 8pm, you go to this brick wall opposite the tennis courts. Yeah. You pay a man with a camera. You pay a man. It's a donation between 20...

It's expensive, I'll say that. This is a great idea, what I'm about to tell you, but it's expensive. $25 to $60. Jesus. You pay the man. He takes your photo. Two Polaroids.

He gives you one to take home and he gives you the other one to put on the red brick wall. And you get a little post-it, which you put under it, brick wall, and you get a little post-it which you put under it, your name, your age, and then three lines to tell people about yourself. Okay. And it's the hottest new dating spot in New York.

How do you get the contact details? Do you pay the guy with the Polaroid for the contact details? Yes. So you scan a QR code and you give your details. But what if somebody messages you and you haven't messaged them and you get creepy

people and the hot people with their Polaroids get stolen? There are two people that stay by the wall and those that want to participate, they tell the organisers who they like and who they'd like to have their picture and details passed along to. Oh, so they pass, gotcha.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then the photos are swapped out every five weeks. Okay. So you've got to go back, instead of a subscription cost, if you will, every five weeks. So, I mean, it's kind of like old school, it's kind of like an analogue dating app.

Yeah, it is. But then I guess you're in the area. So, you know, these people will be too. Yeah. I don't know. It's a bit different. Although one person, because they've zoomed up on a couple of photos. Griffin, this is a guy in a red polo.

24. M. Seeking. M slash. Female maybe. I think it says female maybe. So maybe gay slash a little bit bi. Yeah, open.

Gregarious, sarcastic, abs, hilarious, nice, fun. That's his description, ab. Well, the photo is not shirtless. It's not shirtless, so he's just letting you know. I mean, he's letting you know he's got abs. Gotcha. So, you know, Dana is 24, female seeking M, driven, sporty, humor kind. And all it is is just a Polaroid.

That's all you get. Some very descriptive words. You can't swipe another 10 photos. I kind of like it. The wall is, it kind of looks like one of those walls after a big disaster, you know, when people are missing. Oh, yeah. And they stick the photos up saying we're looking for this person.

Yeah, it's got that kind of vibe. But the wall is absolutely, like all sides of it, just absolutely filled with people. It's kind of cool. I kind of like it. It's kind of different. It's interesting.

What was the wall before this? It looks like a... Yeah. What do you think? Like a generator or something? Yeah, it looks like a... Shed? A pump shed or something?

A pump house sort of vibe. Yeah, or a generator. But yeah, I don't know, that's a cool idea. Yeah. I think it could work in like big cities. I mean, it probably wouldn't work in a small town in New Zealand because everyone knows everyone. You'd just wait at the wall, wouldn't you?

Just wait there. Yeah, kind of like old school cruising. That's the other thing too. If you don't want to pay, you could just wait at the wall. You could just, yeah. Just hang out at the wall all day. And if you see a hottie, be like, I'm, I mean, this doesn't bode well for our relationship going forward,

but I'm too cheap to pay to be part of that. But I would like to go on a date with you. And I'm kind of stalking everyone that comes. Yeah. Yeah. That would be the way to go. Great idea. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.

Play ZM. Well, it starts tonight, 7.30 on 2. It's tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday, Celebrity Treasure Island. And we are joined in studio by Janae Henry. Good morning. Such a pleasure to be here. A pleasure. A pleasure. A pleasure.

It was a pleasure. Celebrity Treasure Island is, I have quite publicly stated that I would never do it only because I'm too competitive. I would get carried away. I'd be sobbing on TV. You'd get hangry. I'd get hangry. I just feel like it would reveal a dark side of myself.

Yeah. Did you have concerns? She was. She was just like, yes. And the self-explanatory says that you'll see the same of I. Did you share similar concerns? Yeah. You know what, I think I did, but I was more curious about what that would be

and I thought, why not find out at the same time? So you saw it as like a personal challenge? Yeah, I'm curious about the monster within. I feel like I haven't really seen that side of myself. I'm not a sports person, obviously. So I have no idea. I'm not even like a social netballer. I had no idea what I would be like going in there. And I knew that there was a chance I could be a full monster.

What about board games and stuff? Yeah. Do you get a little unhinged on the Monopoly board? Or cranium is the one that brings out the worst in everybody. Oh, yeah. I reckon for me, articulate is where I'm the most monstrous. Right. But only really as a response to who I'm in a team with.

Yeah. Well, lucky you don't have teammates on this. No, perfect. Perfect. So you've got your team, you've got an amazing team, including, I mean, everyone was so jazzed to hear about Suzanne Paul being on the show. I know. Is she luminous in real life?

She is the most stunning woman I've ever seen in my actual life. So thousands and thousands of luminous spheres. That's what it is, natural glow. She just was honestly such an icon. Yeah. She is still such an icon. She's still with us. Unless you killed her on the island and this is your way.

I got a little competitive. I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear. You're also on with Baba is on your team which is she is super unhinged like yourself. You've got Mia Motu and she

I've met her a couple of times. She's a boxer She is a hard woman I can't imagine being on a team with someone who I imagine would be fighting the game pretty tough. I think so, but also such a teddy bear and I think really likes taking, I don't want to say the vulnerable under her wing, but the vulnerable. And that sort of was me.

Really? So I got along really well with Mia. So, I mean, you can't tell us too much, obviously, without spoiling it, but how was your experience? Did you enjoy it or were you like, because I know lots of friends that have done it before who were like, I hated that. Like it was like, it was so hard and difficult. I think I had the best time because I had nothing to lose

in terms of I turned up and no one knew who I was. So it's sort of that thing when you're overseas where you can sort of lie about your personality. And it wasn't being recorded for television or anything. Yeah, I'm a doctor. Absolutely I am. I'm a French doctor, bonjour. But because I had no idea who I was, there was no expectation of how I was going to be

in the game. How you were going to perform. Yeah. And so no one expected anything of me, which was sort of the perfect way to do it, I think. Yeah. Anything I did was a pleasant surprise.

Yeah. I think, I fell over so much and I really hope... Physically or sort of emotionally? Physically. Yeah. I fell over nothing,

like truly nothing and I'm just really hoping that that gets cut. No, it won't. So many falls. It won't. It won't. It certainly won't. Did you? There's always going to be a super cut of No, it won't. It won't. It won't. It certainly won't.

Did you? There's always going to be a super cut of your falls, I can feel. Yeah, 100%. Did you, because, I mean, we're great friends with Maddie McLean, who is famous for crying on that show. Yes. Like, I'm going to say it, like a bear bear. Yeah.

Did you cry? Did you cry on the show? Yeah, yeah. And I didn't want to. It's not fun to be like the clown who's crying. I'm the comedian and I'm the one crying. It's so boring. But I think what it is, is I love to cry privately.

Big fan of it. Oh, really? I exclusively cry publicly. Oh, this job's perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the second you tear up, it's like suddenly there's like a team of people who are like, hi, Janay,, what's going on? So you can't just privately cry, you just have

to constantly do it publicly which is so draining and so boring. Who's the charity that you were representing? The Aunties. The Aunties, tell us about the Aunties. Yeah, they're so cool. I think someone's on the Aunties every year, people keep telling me that and I'm like, I wasn't trying to pick

the chicest, most unpicked charity I wasn't trying to pick the chicest, most unpicked charity. I was trying to pick the charity I support in my day-to-day life which is the aunties. They help people once they're out of domestic violence situations and they help set them up and get them going and they're based here in Tāmaki and they do really

awesome work. I took a couple of beds to the aunties once. First charity drop-off I've ever done where I got a big hug and like I thought I was going to get fed. It felt like I was about to be fed and I was like I've got to go, I've got to go and they were like oh thank you so much. Yeah they're lovely. Great charity. I am really looking forward to seeing how you go. I am

looking forward to watching you fall over and cry. But also I hope you do well. Female supporting female. Women raising up other women. Funny ladies. The new season of Celebrity Treasure Island, it starts tonight at 7.30 on 2, continues as well Tuesday and Wednesday. Janaye, thank you so much. Thank you for having me.

Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Headline reads, Mushroom learns to walk with robot legs. Mushrooms have learned to walk, roll, and dance on mechanical legs in a breakthrough in the development of living robots.

Scientists found that mycelium, the root-like structure of fungus, is able to control a machine by using electrical impulses to trigger movements. This is gross. Don't do this using electrical impulses to trigger movements. This is gross. Don't do this. They've got to stop. So there was two robots from Cornell University and the University of Florence. One resembled a starfish with like grippy legs that could, I would say more like spider than starfish.

Just not as many legs as a spider. And the other sits on wheels. And then they learn to control them, yeah. They call them the bio-hybrid robots. You know, AI is becoming a thing. Once they get the AI, these mushroom robots will start taking over. Oh, I for one welcome our new portobello overlords. And to the shiitake empire, I pledge my allegiance.

Or just a white button with a little bit of dirt still on it. The white button will be the hotties. The hotties and the robot. I don't think that was... Savage is the oyster cult. Yeah, for example. A bit floppy like the oysters. Yeah. Well, I've got the top six of the half robots we need and why we need

them. Number six on the list, half robot, half police officer. Let's call him Robo Officer. Are you sure this hasn't been done before? Like a RoboCop? Not that I'm aware of. What a great idea, though. I was going to say, that needs a reboot, but it has been rebooted.

I actually like the reboot. I never watched it. It had Joel Kinnaman in it. Yeah, he's great. It wasn't as bad as everybody said it was. Okay. The original Robocop was perfect. Yeah.

But then you go back and watch Robocop 2, Robocop 3, back of the old ones. Robocop 3 was shit. He got wings. He got wings. Don't be silly. Don't be silly. Number five on the list of the top six of the half robots we need. Half robot, half dog.

Or half cat, if that's your thing. So they live forever. Yeah, right. So your cat dies. Yeah. And then you just implant it into a robot. Robot. Okay.

And that way, you also never have to clean up their poop again. Yes. Because you make the back half robot. Yeah. Oh, no. Okay, yeah, right. Or just the digestive part robot.

Yeah. Maybe it's just a robot with a cat cover. Okay. A cat skin robot. Okay. Number four on the list of the top six other half robots we need are half robot, half fruit tree. Okay.

So then it can follow the sun round moves. Oh, right. And give you the sun. Juiciest lemons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it'll come drop them off. Okay. Because sometimes I look at the window and see a fruit tree.

I'm like, I just can't be bothered walking out to it. But if it walked up to me, pick it. I'd eat it. Yeah, right. I'd eat it. Number three on the list of the top six of the half robots we need. Half robot, half car. Transformers.

IRL. Your best friend is also the way you're going to get to work. And then you could be in the mall and just be like, I'm walking out now and it drives to you. How good would that be? Number two on the list of the top six other half robots we need. Half robot, half bunch of flowers. Right. That way you never forget them.

They don't die. Yeah. And you don't have to ever buy any more flowers because those flowers don't die. They wouldn't be special though, would they, if they lasted forever? God, what do you want from me? You said you wanted flowers. I got you flowers that never die. I just want you to care every now and again.

I do care. Do you? I literally invented technology to keep flowers alive indefinitely. And number one on the list of the top six other half robots we need, half robot, half coffee cup. Because I know people's got those jugs that turn on or the coffee machines on the timer. Yep.

But then you've still got to get up to get it. Yeah, right. If it could do it for you. The cup would fill and when it was full, it would come and find you with the timer. Yep. But then you've still got to get up to get it. Yeah, right. Or it could do it for you. The cup would fill and when it was full, it would come and find you with the cup. Love it. On its little cup spider legs, controlled by a mushroom man.

That is today's top six. 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 poe. Silly little Pole, did you do an OE? The Overseas Experience.

Is moving to Australia an OE? That's cheating, eh? That's just basically a big New Zealand. Yeah, that's moving to New Zealand, snakes edition. Pretty much, yeah. Hot snakes edition. Yeah. There was an article about how the OE's changed.

And, like, Australia is definitely, like, the number one place Kiwis move. But, yeah, just how it's changed, it's a lot more challenging in London now, especially. Right. To find a job. Like, one recruiter in this article I was reading was saying the average time finding a job at the moment in their fields was like four to six months. Not like just getting there and getting a job. Brexit. Yeah, maybe.

I don't know, just blame Brexit. Well, and just COVID and I guess, you know, the job market's a lot tougher. It's a long time. Yeah, it's a lot tougher now. So, I don't know. And it's also saying that unless you're in, like, a really qualified area, like you're in a highly skilled person, if you're not, you're going to struggle. Right. Yeah, so, I don't know.

Because that used to be the way you'd just arrive and just walk into a bar and be like, I guess I work here now. Yeah, and they'd be like, wait. They'd be like, start pouring, son. And you always heard that, you know, Kiwis and Aussies had really good work ethic compared to the Brits. But yeah. Well, did you do an OE? 35% of people said yes, and I loved it.

1% said yes, but I hated it. Oh, I want to hear from those people. And 64% said no, I didn't do an OE. Because we both haven't done OEs. Like we've traveled, like had holidays and stuff. But did it always feel to you that everyone else was doing it? No, no, because my mates didn't. Yeah, true.

Most of my mates didn't do OEs. I knew people. My sister did one. My brother didn't. I did know a lot of people and I always thought, oh, I'm in the minority, but I wasn't. No way. 64% of people didn't do an OE. Amanda said, I met my pommy husband

who I have two beautiful children with and love to bits. He even acquiesced and got a Kiwi passport. Oh, so he's ours now. Yeah. Beautiful word. Yeah.

Beautiful use of the word. Wouldn't change a thing. It was meant to be. Yeah, good. So there you go. She's pro OE. Started my OE in 2019, said Danielle. Got stuck in the UK

during COVID and still here almost five years later. I've got an incredible group of mates through my lockdown flatmates, though. Oh, cool. Still doing it and loving it. Come home as soon as she could. Only to Australia. Live here seven years later. Demby, that's cheating. That's cheating.

You just moved to Australia. Live here seven years later. That's cheating. You just moved to Australia. Mike said Most people I know that went on an OE don't own a house, but I own property that can pay for my holidays now. So rather than doing the OE, he got invested in property.

Probably didn't eat avocado on toast too. And probably did it 20 years ago when it was... But no, it's a fair point though but then like...

You make a choice, don't you? How fun is it travelling? Lots of fun. Lots of fun. Tell you what's not fun, watching the bank take your big fat mortgage

pivots every time you get paid. But then I also know people that work like in London that earn so much money they had a deposit to buy either there or here.

Would you call Dubai? You'd say Dubai is the OEA because heaps of Kiwis went there and earned crazy amounts of money and didn't spend it or spent it and came home and had enough for a house deposit. Will said, New Zealand was my OE and I've never left. Lisa, had a boyfriend I didn't want to leave who turned out to be a lying, cheating prick and I regret never having an OE because all of my siblings did. Oh, so you stayed for an absolute loser. Stayed for a dude.

I know people that have had partners in New Zealand and either one, maybe the partner or maybe them, wanted to do the OE but the other person didn't and they were just like, you just go and do it. I'll be here when you get back. And then they made a hot family in. Really? I've never asked if there was

a European fornication. Okay. But no. I never got the feeling there was. It was just the experience. There definitely was. Yeah. There should have been. Waste if not. Caitlin, currently on a flight to the UK to start mine.

Oh, exciting. Drew's out on whether I love it or hate it. Here's hoping for loving it. Good luck, Caitlin. We haven't heard yet from anyone that's hated it, have we? Nah. Sophie said, I want to. I'm just a super broke girly ATM.

Yeah. Sophie, ah, yes, I did mine in Dubai and I wouldn't change it for the world. Partying on yachts, free drinks, luxury cars, many awful dates, underground parties. Best year of my life. Fun. So there you go. She did it. No word if she came back with a house to buy.

Everybody goes to Dubai. I'm not paying tax. It's wonderful. I'm not paying tax. It's wonderful. Yeah, it's like, oh, look at my new designer handbag. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh.

Yeah, because I'm going to buy a house when I get home. The malls will get you in Dubai. They do. The lifestyle. 13 past seven. Next. The silver sachet with a spoon on top of it. This is my breakfast.

Your breakfast. Leave me alone. Your sachet breakfast. Might be time for some new headphones. Anywho, in front of me there's a silver sachet and a gross-looking chocolatey spoon on top. That's my breakfast. You should eat with a smaller spoon.

There was either that or a teaspoon. It's the world's greatest trick to trick your brain into thinking you're eating more. Small bowl, small spoon. I know. You feel like a giant. This is chocolate breakfast. Yeah, so in like a month and a half, I'm doing the heafy track.

So doing, what's that? Is it four nights? I feel like it's four nights or three nights, four days. Yeah. So it's a lot of hiking. And I don't want to be carrying lots of food. So I'm going to do the dehydrated meals. And I know you're a fan of these because we've been hiking.

I'm a fan of them because I get to pour boiling water into a thing, shake it around, seal it, and in 15 minutes, eat delicious apple crumble. That's why I'm a fan. Or mashed potato. I'm not a fan of it. And you're like, where did the meat come from? Yeah.

It wasn't there before. It was a little cured. And now you add water, and now the meat expands, and it's there. Yeah. And, yeah, the apple crumble, the dessert one. I forget the brand, but amazing. So yum. So I've had those the brand, but amazing. So yum. So I've had those before and I know those are yum.

So I know that I can have those like every day for lunch and dinner and be happy. But breakfast, I'm like, I might just, I'm going to experiment. Because I was at the mall and I was in the outdoor store and I was like, I'm going to just grab a couple and I'll have them for breakfast to see if I like them. You haven't loved them? That one was a struggle. This one was a struggle. Yeah, I don't know what's in it.

I do. I'm looking at it right now. Banana. It's all good for you. It's super healthy. Brown rice crisps. Yeah, that's what I wasn't a fan of. Clown protein that's a blend of fava bean, pea protein, and brown rice protein.

That sounds... Better have a bit of that. No, it was quite nice. Sunflower seeds. Yep, I could taste those. And were there pumpkin seeds in there? Yeah, I could taste those. They're next on the list.

Healthy when you're tramping all day. Organic coconut milk powder. Yeah, it's good stuff. Chicory root. I don't know what that is. Chicory is... My dad plants it in summer. It's a crop with a deep tap root. So if the ground gets dry, it's good stuff. Chicory root. I don't know what that is. Chicory is a, my dad plants it in summer. It's a crop with a deep tap root.

So if the ground gets dry, it'll grow and the cows come and they eat it. What's a cow's going to come and eat me? A cow's going to, well, you are a cow. You might be turning into a cow. Okay, great. This is where it starts getting all bloody hippy dippy. Millet puffs, buckwheat powder, red quinoa, quinoa sprouts, areola cherries. Okay.

Is that right? Is that a thing? Yeah. Must look like little nipples. It's got a lot in there. Brussels sprouts at the bottom, parsley, red beetroot and seaweed. I didn't taste any of that. Jeez, it's a real smorgasbord of stuff that's supposedly good for you.

Yeah, it's meant to be like a good fuel for your, you know, for your day. Yeah, but taste didn't taste. Well, it's all right. I'd give it a four out of five or a three and a half out of five. You've still got to chuck in some Weet-Bix in the bag. And then by the time you pull them out, they've already been crushed, saving you the job of crushing the records. I like that all I did this morning was add water and breakfast was ready.

But that's how I do porridge every morning. I have a sachet of porridge and I just pour hot water in it because the milk's too much. I don't know. But yeah, I might experiment a couple of mornings. Right. But yeah, the producers did get to work and wonder why I was eating breakfast out of a pouch.

Tons of stuff. No, no, no. No, that was like $8. Jesus. Yeah, okay. $8.99 or something. Yeah, that would be cheap. It's a whole meal.

It's a $9 breakfast. You could get a scone and a coffee for that. Yeah, but not when you're in the middle of a national park. The Mopin one. On the Heapy track. On the Heapy. Oh, well, I worked actually a little mini cafe. Mini McCafe is all along the way.

At every hut? Yeah. That'd be great. Yeah, you can tell you're getting close to the hut because the golden arches will guide you in. Guide you in. Yeah, absolutely. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. To Europe we go. To Europe. Absolutely.

To Europe we go. To Europe. There is an airline in Europe called Air Baltic. They fly all over Europe. A lot of the Baltic regions. Yes, Vaughan. The clue was in the title. They had a naming competition.

Okay. They are naming all of their 48 aircraft. Are they a new airline? No, they've been around for a while. Oh, okay. They've been around for a while. Now, they're naming all 48 of their aircraft. You had to go online to vote. Winners have just been announced.

Yes. They gave you a list of Baltic names, like towns and cities. Okay. And all these kind of areas. And the winner- Somewhat restrictive? Somewhat restrictive.

Well, it means that you can't say Bodie McPlainface. Yeah. Which has become a problem in recent years. Now, this kind of reminded me of the Pajero. Pajero. What was that in Mitsubishi? Yeah. Mitsubishi Pajero.

Yeah. Yeah. That meant something different. Wanker. Yeah. In Spanish? In Spanish. Yeah. But of That meant something different. Wanker. Yeah. In Spanish? In Spanish, yeah. But of course here,

we didn't know what that meant, right? No. And it was around for ages, that brand of car. Still is. Still is. I saw one at the weekend. Yeah.

It cut me off. Did it? Yeah. And not a Ranger. Interesting. I know. I was like, someone just must be driving the Bajero for the weekend.

Well, this kind of reminded me of that because in the Czech Republic, one of the options to name the planes was actually, it's called Kunda. It's a city that's actually in the Czech Republic, a vulgar term for female genitalia. And the entire Czech Republic seemed to vote for that and it won the competition. Oh, so they weren't like,

can we please have this removed as this is an offensive term? No, they voted for it and it won and it will be one of the planes because obviously it's a city. Well, they just took a step up in my... Were you not a fan of Czech Republic? No, no, no, I was. You were, but now even more so.

Yeah, even more so. Right. The second most popular vote by internet users was the Estonian city of Pusey. It's got an omelette. Is that the two dots above the U?

Is that what you call that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that means you drag it out. Pusey. Pusey. I don't even know why that's... What does that sound like? Pusey. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. I don't need to explain why that's... What does that sound like? Number two. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P.

P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. So they voted for them. And so, yeah, these are going to be on aircraft that are being kind of incorporated into the fleet. Yeah, they're actual places. Yeah. But they are also vulgar terms in other countries and other languages. Like the Pajero. Yeah, the Pajero.

Which we didn't know. But, I mean, we really can't throw stones because we have hijacked a naming competition. Yeah, but not. Not like that. Not in the name of filth. Yeah, no. Filth. We're mature. And blas naming competition. Yeah, but not. Not like that. Not in the name of filth. Yeah, no. Filth. We're mature.

And blasphemy. Yeah. No, it's the Hawke's Bay Airport is naming its new fire truck. The options, there were five. There's only one real standout at this stage. Voting has been extended. Yeah, Friday is the cutoff. But 59% of the vote is currently for Judy Drench.

Can I say we've got this in the bag? Our chosen one is the one? I don't want to jinx it. I don't want to jinx it. It would take a huge amount of effort from somebody else. I'm excited about this. Yeah. I'm so excited.

To sway it. But I wouldn't say that it's in the bag. That might tempt them. Yes. That might tempt someone to begin a groundswell movement for Fred, the fire rescue emergency. No, see that's just not as good.

Dame Judy Drain. Spraying Mantis. Yeah, see you liked that one. I liked that one. That got me. Yeah. Ahi Toa, which stands for fire warrior.

Yeah. And Te Wai Wai, water in abundance. It's a sexy fire truck too. Well, exciting. Voting closes for that on Friday. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. We want to talk about now what you found out about people after a death.

Yeah. Now, maybe they were harbouring secrets, the person that died, or maybe they'd been portpying about other people, or, you know, there's a range of things. BuzzFeed did a list of the shocking secrets revealed after death. BuzzFeed, that's right. BuzzFeed did a list. Are they still going? BuzzFeed, that's right. BuzzFeed did a list. Are they still going?

BuzzFeed are stronger than ever. Because it used to be like, which friends character are you? Well, I was just going to say, which quiz? Because there are lots of quizzes here. I can 100% guess your favourite Halloween candy based on your preferences in this quiz. It'll be American candy. Yeah. You know that, what's that

little corn one? Candy corn. Yeah, that's weird. It's a weird one. It's a weird lolly. America's got weird lollies. What fall dessert are you? Yeah. This list, though, is insane.

The things that people learn when people passed away. Yeah. And we thought, like, we've got to do this here in New Zealand. Oh, 100%. Like, surely we've got some secrets out there. Yeah. The things you learnt when people passed away. Like, here's some examples from this BuzzFeed list.

I had a great aunt who was never married. I just thought she was a lesbian. Turns out she had a 40-year love affair with a priest. They were supposedly madly in love, but the church, obviously, frowns upon that sort of thing. Right. My uncle was gay. His wife knew.

They hung out with his boyfriend all the time. We just thought he was a really close family friend. But no, just keeping up appearances by having a wife. Were they in the same house? All three of them? I don't know. Or they just hung out? Or the boyfriend came and went, don't know.

You're right. I had to go through a colleague's office after they died, found an evidence of an affair in a small lockbox. I shredded it all so that didn't need to be dealt with. There's quite a few. Like someone said they did like a 23andMe Ancestry.com test and found their mum had adopted like two kids before she started a family. You don't hear about it as much because time's passed,

but you used to hear about every now and then someone's granddad or great-granddad would die and there'd be some Nazi memorabilia, you know, like wrong side of that whole situation. Well, that was another one. Someone had made up an entire military career and hadn't fought in the war at all. Had just got like medals from a shop, like an op shop. That's bad.

What do they call that? Stolen valor. Yeah, that's it. Stolen valor. When you were doing something under the pretense it was yours. My father's cousin served six months in jail in the mid-50s for stalking an Italian Oscar-winning actress. Okay.

Yeah, did some time there. And they didn't find out until they died. They died, yeah. I guess no one's telling too much about it. Somebody said, we had a cousin one day, stopped communication with the family, and no one ever really talked about it. Found out later, when Grandma died,

the cousin was in witness protection. That's why she was gone and nobody ever talked about it. You see. Yeah. Okay, well, this is what we want to know. Here in New Zealand, what did you find out when someone passed away?

Because maybe a lot of people have to clean up the crap, right? Clean up people's houses. They'd be going through the junk drawers and find out... I think it would be so much fun, especially if it's like an estranged uncle or something,

like someone you didn't even know existed. Or you knew them, but they were just kooky and weird, and you didn't know why. You didn't know the level of their kooky or weirdness. And then you find their dungeon or their drawer full of crap, and you're like, oh, that explains a lot. They've got a dungeon. We're talking about what you only found out after somebody passed away. The juiciness. Maybe the secrets.

They're not around to hide their secrets anymore. Tell you what, hearing from a few lotto wins, that's wild, isn't it? That were kept completely secret. After my dad died in 2008, we were cleaning out his stuff. Found a lotto win he'd had. No wonder he was able to buy a hot rod. Everybody was like, how does dad afford that hot rod? How did he get that past mum? Or was mum not around?

Oh yeah, maybe mum wasn't around or maybe he did not tell her. He's just like, don't you worry about it. Don't you worry about it. It's bloody taken care of. Somebody else said that their mum had a second division win that she kept completely quiet. Didn't tell anyone in the family. How'd they find, like, they're just going through her stuff.

Yeah. And she's got, like, the receipt or something. Yeah. The ticket. Wow. In her purse. After she'd passed. What would the second division be?

Not much. Like tens of thousands. No. You've got to keep that secret from, like. Oh, maybe 20 tops, right? I wonder how many people do keep it secret. We all found out that my great uncle was a mason. Like, you know, Freemason. Oh, maybe 20 tops, right? I wonder how many people do keep it secret. We all found out that my great uncle was a mason. Like, you know, Freemason.

Oh, yeah. He was a ghost of the Masonic Lodge. Yeah. We only found out about when two men in suits quietly put a flower on his casket at his funeral. The estate was split 22 ways, and the masons got one 22th. One 22th?

One 22nd? A 22nd? 22 split. The family were very dark about it. the Masons got one 20-tooth. One 20-tooth? One 20-second? A 20-second? 22. Split. The family were very dark about it. I bet they were. What's that? Like, you're not getting much.

Like, even if it was, like, like a house being sold. Yeah. Like, say a house was, like, $600,000. Yeah. What's a 20-tooth of that? Well, if you had $22 million,

the Masons are getting a million bucks. Yeah, right. So I can see why people might have been a bit miffed. Yeah. They're getting 22th of that? Well, if you had $22 million, the Masons are getting a million bucks. Yeah, right. So I can see why people might have been a bit miffed. Yeah. They're getting the same as individuals. But that's a secret handshake. Wild. And good morning to all our Freemason listeners.

Keep your texts coming in. 9696, 0800, Dalsit M. Some juicy stuff. Yeah. What did you find out about someone when they passed away? What did you find out after somebody passed away in your family? Secrets. I love this.

It's so juicy and gossipy. Secrets. After my granddad died, my mother found out that he'd had an affair and had another three children. My mum has since met three of her other siblings who live in France. What? As the woman was crying. What?

So dad had been, like, away for work or something? World War II. In my mind, it's World War II. Yeah, II. In my mind, it's World War II. Yeah, maybe. In my mind, it's World War II. My dad was 48 when he met his mom. They had me, and 13 years later, he passed away. It was a few years after he passed that we started finding out some things.

Well, I thought I was an only child. There were two men who lived in my dad's area, people I grew up with, and I was led to believe they were my uncles Long story short, they were my brothers Oh wow, okay Yeah, I met the other two visiting his home country But still assumed they were my uncles They were also my brothers

Wow When my papa died, we found out he had a lover before my nana And had a child with them She was taken away to have the baby And he never saw her again He wanted to find her But wanted to wait until my Nana passed away first So now I'm trying to force my dad to find his sibling

That's out there somewhere Do the test Do an ancestry test Yeah That's how a lot of people are finding these things out At my father-in-law's tangi We discovered my partner has another brother That no one knew about

What? It's always at the event, hey Yep It's always at the event, hey? Yep. It's always at the event. Somebody said that lotto win we talked about before was $26,000, the second division one that mum kept completely quiet from everybody. Wow, okay. Yeah.

I found out my great-grandmother loved weird fridge magnets after she had died because I inherited them all. That's from Elizabeth. I mean, that's nice though, isn't it, Elizabeth? Because everybody else is finding out about families and lifelong lives and stuff. She just liked fridge magnets. Yeah. But it's sad that she was so embarrassed she couldn't be public with her love for fridge magnets.

Your mum loves fridge magnets. My mum. Yeah, but not on the new fridge because I've got a nice stainless steel fridge. What do you mean? All of them have been banned. I think they're in a box somewhere. Oh, that's a shame. Yeah, I know.

They'll go up. That's a real shame. I said to her she should just get a big bit of sheet metal. Yeah. Hang it in the garage or somewhere. But it's a fridge. And stick them. Oh, not the nice new stainless steel fridge.

But she's been collecting so many for so long. Yeah, everywhere they go. And you would go overseas and buy them. Yeah. Boy, those were second-rate fridge magnets because that was my experience, not hers. Okay, right. And the battery did run out in the Scottish one

that did the bagpipes because obviously the grandkids all loved it and would push it every time they walked past the fridge and so the battery died on that one. Great excuse to go back and get another, so I should say. Yeah. My father recently found out that after 64 years

that his father that he grew up with was not his biological father. After doing my heritage DNA, his was very different to his brothers and sisters. Tried to talk to my grandma about it, but she's in her 90s and not quite all there anymore. She does seem to recall some close family friend maybe. Grandma was out there playing around.

Love it. We found out after they passed away they were a hoarder. No one had been allowed to visit the house for years and years and years. We went there and it was just like, we can see why. I feel like that would be you. That's a hell of a mess. I feel like that would be you. Sade's great uncle.

He was a hoarder, wasn't he? He was a hoarder, yeah. And they wouldn't let me go to the house. I was like, you've got to let me. I'll come around and help clean. They were like, nope. They were so secondhand embarrassed. Yeah, I guess so.

It was pretty wild. We found out when my mother's brother passed away, she found out she was adopted. She told her niece, her brother's daughter, she said that, yeah, we knew about that. Everyone in the family knew except for my mum. She was 78 years old when she found out she was adopted Oh that's sad

You'd want to know sooner Or not at all Or not at all 78 seems like just an awful time My grandmother passed away 10 years ago She had a stroke and was bedridden just before she passed We found out she had a giant anchor tattooed on her thigh And she'd been married to a man in the Navy.

No one in the family knew about this until the tattoo and then she just let it all out. That would have been scandalous back in the day. Like now everybody gets a tattoo and you don't even think about it. A woman with a big thigh tattoo. Indicating. She loves the Navy boys.

She loves the Navy boys. Yeah. Shiver me. Timber. We've had a couple of late entries for the what did you find out after somebody died situation. Grandmother passed away 20 years ago. We found out at the wake that she was the love child of her father,

the local baker, and his baker's assistant. She was raised by her non-biological mother. Who knew or didn't know? Well, she obviously knew she didn't give birth to the child. Oh, of course, yeah. Did I give birth to this baby? I forget. There's so many of them.

Yeah. So, right. And the father, the baker, and the baker's assistant. No word if the father. But the baker's assistant didn't want it. Well, I don't know who had it, whether it was the baker or the baker's assistant. Oh, yeah, of course, yeah.

Huh. There was three people involved, I'll say that much. And baker's assistant that had the baby. Huh. There was three people involved, I'll say that much. And that's not how you make a croissant. That's a small town bakery, eh? Yeah. 100%. Gotta be. After my mum passed away, we found out that my younger brother was only our half-brother. That while dad was in prison for a couple of years, my mum was seeing

somebody else. But he took off when my dad got out of prison, because obviously scared. And then mum and dad had a younger sister. It was the man's parting gift to the family. But dad thought, yeah, right. Thought otherwise. My dad spent 30 years in the police, then immigrated

to New Zealand. We found out when he died that he wasn't working for the police in those 30 years. He was working with MI5. He was James Bond. He was a spook. He was was James Bond. He was a spook. And then what, had to move, so obviously British, and then move to New Zealand. New Zealand after he

finished his. The furtherest place you can move. Yeah. Like, he was definitely hiding from people, eh? Yeah. Like, no one's going to find you in New Zealand. Well, yeah, if you want to leave that life behind. Yeah. I guess that's the way to do it. Move to the other side of the world. It's like a movie, isn't it? TV to leave that life behind. Yeah. I guess that's the way to do it. Move to the other side of the world. It's like a movie, isn't it?

A TV show, I'm retiring. Yeah. After my spy life. And then he moves to a small town in New Zealand. And the Russians find him. He joins the police force. Yeah, and then the Russians storm the town. It's the start of the movie.

He's solving all the crimes. The overarching arc is the Russians are after him, but each episode is he solving a small town crime. I like it. Some historical, some cold cases. This is a big cabinet of all the old cases that never got solved. Did we just write? I think we did.

The next great crime drama? I think we did. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Time for Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name. Vaughan will ask five questions to Rebecca. Good morning, Rebecca.

Good morning. Now, Vaughan, Vaughan will ask these five questions and then try to guess your mum's name within 15 seconds. If he can do that, $100 cash. And I believe you haven't failed all year, Vaughan. I believe you've nailed it every time. Yeah, it's been quality over quantity. We haven't done it as much.

Yeah, but you've nailed it every time. But yeah, that just doesn't deplete my psychic energy reserves. Yes. Now, we will say at the start, Rebecca, your mum sadly has passed. Yeah. Okay, so is this going to affect, Vaughn, your psychic abilities?

Hopefully. Hopefully for the positive, Rebecca. Hopefully for the positive, yeah, because you want to win the money. Yeah. Okay, all right. Well, Vaughn's got five questions. Yep.

What year was your mum born? 1962. Oh, my God. She was so young to have passed away I'm sorry about that Yeah she was 42 Oh wow okay So she passed away in

2016 52 sorry Yeah it's coming out 10 years Right okay Oh heck That's throwing you hasn't it Your psychic abilities. You've got emotion.

Warren's got a little bit emotional there, Rebecca. Yeah, I don't like, I've been thinking a lot about death. Yeah. And he's having elevator dreams too, Rebecca. He's having elevator dreams again. Rebecca, can I tell you about my sad dream I had last night? It's real quick. It's a slight sidebar.

It's a sidebar, your honor. But only if you want to hear about it. You can tell me about it. Okay, so I had a dream that my daughter, Indy, who's 12 and a half, she got a boyfriend, which was a little bit of the sad part about it. And then we were in Hamilton, and then the elevator thing happened. I had these dreams where elevators shoot up and then drop down. And it shot up, and I was like, it's going to be okay, Indy, relax.

And then it fell down, and it didn't hit the ground. It stopped, and we got out. And I went to be like, it's okay, and hug her and tell her it's going to be okay, Andy, relax. And then it fell down and it didn't hit the ground. It stopped and we got out and I went to be like, it's okay. And hug her and tell her it's going to be okay. And the boyfriend got in there before I could. She's not going to be allowed to go on any dates ever. It's ruined my week. My week at this stage feels like a write-off. Okay, right.

Back to Rebecca's mum and guessing the mum's name. Yeah. You're jotting down a few names there. I put a Susan. Susan. Getting a slight Tracy vibe. Getting a Jen. Could be a Jen.

Jen. Jennifer. Jenny, yeah. I've been Jennifer long for. Kathy, have you got a Kathy? I haven't yet, but I'll put a Kathy on the list. Carol. Carol.

Yep. Again, all classic mum names from that era. What was mum's favourite TV show? She did like Shortland Tree or any reality show like The Block. Okay. She loved a bit of The Block. Do you think it was the renovation that she liked or the drama? A bit of both. Yeah. Okay. She loved a bit of The Block. Do you think it was the renovation that she liked or the drama or? A bit of both.

Yeah. Okay. What about some famous Shortland Street mums? Yeah. You know, some. Marge. Marge. You put Marge down.

Marge. Jenny, I've already got. That was Nick's mum. Yeah. Alan. Alan, yep. Alan Crozier. Yes.

That was. Robin Malcolm's character. It was. Yeah, famous character. I might Alan. Alan, yep. Alan Crozier was Robin Malcolm's character. It was, yeah, famous character. I might put a Robin there too. Okay. What were mum's siblings' names? Jennifer. Jennifer.

Warwick and Karen. Oh, okay. I had Karen on the list. So get rid of Karen. I had Jennifer on the list. It would be wild if you had lots of kids to call too by the same name. It would be a wild move. Like imagine having two Karens.

I don't think many people would do it. I don't think many people would do it. No, they wouldn't. But, you know, some people should. Shake it up. I put a Patricia in there. Well, you keep them on their toes. Do you call them like one and two?

That's a great question, though, because that got a really good vintage of names there, didn't it? Yeah, definitely set a tone. You could have Barbara, a Helen. Jenny? Did you have a Jenny? No, Jenny was the Jennifer. That was the sister. Yeah.

Okay. I might put a Barb. Barbara. Barbara. What was mum's go-to drink of choice? Are we talking alcohol? Yeah. She loved the Lindau bubble.

In moderation, of course, yeah. Absolutely. Lindau. I can't even taste the bloody difference in these expensive ones. That's sort of what my mum says. It's not as sweet as a Queer. An Eileen? An Eileen.

Eileen? Come on, Eileen. I don't know why that just kind of popped in there. Yeah. It's not as sweet as a queen. An Eileen? An Eileen. Eileen? Come on, Eileen. Yeah. I don't know why that just kind of popped in there. That popped in there. That might be along the same vibe. Might put a Christine just because that's very Christine. Yep.

To rock that in there. And what kind of car did mum drive? She had a BMW. Oh, did she? A Susan. A Susan would drive the BMW. I've already got Susan. It was one of my first. I think real estate agent names. Sandra. Sandra, yeah.

She's got an open home from two. Debbie. Well, the BMW's going to back right onto the flag. Hold that up because it's windy. I don't know where in New Zealand Rubica's family's from. That would play a big part. Do you think?

She's a real estate agent. Oh yeah. Wait, her mum's not a real estate agent. We just invented that. No, we've invented that. Oh,

we invented that because she drove a BMW. Yeah, that, yeah. And that's real estate agent. Carry on. Okay.

I think I'm good to go. You're good to go. Okay, well Rebecca, Vaughan now has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name. If you hear your mum's name yell out, stop, that's my mum's name. Okay, well, Rebecca, Vaughan now has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name. If you hear your mum's name, yell out,

stop, that's my mum's name. Vaughan, your time starts now. Susan, Tracy, Kathy, Carol, Judith, Marge, Alan, Robin, Patricia, Sharon, Eileen, Wendy, Barbara, Kristen. Stop, that's my mum's name.

Which one? Wendy. Wendy. Wendy. Classic vintage. Wendy, it came in. It was Wendy and Warwick, and what were the other siblings' names? Jennifer and Karen. Yeah, it was that.

It was the era of her siblings' names that pushed me towards a Wendy. Yeah, right. Put a Wendy on the list. Good stuff. Yeah. Rebecca, well, that is great news because you have won $100, and it has triggered the bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name.

I don't get any questions at the stage of proceedings. No, no questions. Just one guess at dad's name. And you have done this before, Vaughan. Many times. Wendy. It's not Wendy and John because that's the name of the characters

out of Peter Pan. Well, it could be. What a twist. It would be a great story. Popular names of that kind of... It's not Peter because of Peter Pan. The same kind of, you know, vintage? What are you thinking?

it is. It's giving me that, your dad's definitely got a mate with the name. It's that era of it. Wendy and Dave. Tom.

Dave. Wendy and Dave. Wendy and Dave. Pete. Wendy and Pete. No, Wendy and Dave. Because Wendy's,

you know, Wendy's, the spokes guy that used to do the ads for the... Dave. His name was Dave. So you reckon that's your... It's as good as any. Right, okay. But then that would debunk my Peter Pan theory.

But they weren't two side-by-side characters. They were adjacent Beatles. Nah, it's not a Beatle this week. You were adjacent. It's always one of the Beatles. Nah, it's not a Beatle this week. You don't reckon it's a Beatle? It's not a John Paul or a George. Okay. I reckon... Terry?

I feel a Dave. A Dave? You're feeling a Dave? I feel a Dave deep down inside. Do you want to lock in Dave? I've got a deep down Dave. You've got a deep down Dave. You're going to lock that in.

Rebecca, what is your dad's name? David, but he goes by Dave. It was Wendy's. It was Wendy's. I didn't even say David. It never occurred to me that Dave would be shot. It was the Dave. It was never David.

You did it. Are you kidding me, you tinny prick? Is Dave still with us? Yeah, he's still here. Oh, that's fantastic. Oh, Rebecca, this is so great. That's just made my day. I can't believe Vaughan's done it.

It was like Wendy was in the room. You've done it. You've done well. $200 is all yours, Rebecca. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Good work, Vaughan. Thank you.

Have a lovely day. How do you constantly do this? It's outrageous. I don't know. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. On Friday? What's that, Dave? Is that your

Friday? I was tagged in an Instagram story regarding how I say stainless steel. I've never noticed you saying that wrong. Are you saying it right now, though? No. I don't know if I'm putting emphasis on different parts. You say it. Stainless steel. Stainless steel.

Stainless steel. No, I've never heard you say stainless steel. Stainless steel. Stainless steel. So somebody took exception to the way you say this. Well, no, no, not exception. She said that it's the first time she's heard it that's actually made her think it's steel. It's stainless.

Not just stainless steel. Rolled together. Stainless steel. Here in New Zealand, we just roll everything together into stainless steel. If you just grew up hearing stainless steel and you never thought about it, you're just like stainless steel. So she's doing this run on camera. But at the same time, opening a jar of pickles.

Okay. And using a knife to get under the lid. And then just like levering it, a crank pops the seal under the lid. So I was like stainless steel. I didn't know I said in any particular fashion. Yeah. Bigger question,

the hell is going on with this jar opening technique? I forget what knife she, was it a sharp knife or a butter knife? Actually, the first one, I feel like it was a sharp knife because I was freaking out that it was going to slip and stab. I know.

And there was part of me that was expecting because one of my best mates, his mum, opens a jar of anything by stabbing through the lid. Just, shah! And then that breaks the seal and then she can get it undone. That's wild. But then you can never seal it again. And that's what I thought about this one too, like bending the lid. You're never going to be able to use that jar to seal again. Also, you're using a knife.

Like, just be careful. Yeah, be very careful. So I said, what's up with this technique? And I shared that and lots of people were like, how do you open a jar? That's how you open jars. Yeah. And I would send them back a picture of my hand. Manly big hand. I grab it and I twist it. The knife would be

kind of levering the, like the grippy things open, right? All you're doing is letting air in. So you're just getting under there. I mean, fingers crossed that the glass doesn't explode and you're levering it and putting pressure on it. But yeah, you're just letting the air in and then once the air's in,

it's lost that initial thing that makes it really hard to open. I've never seen anyone open a jar like that. I haven't either. I've seen those things in people's kitchens. No, Carwin's like, whatever, was that a good impression? Really good, thank you. like that. I haven't either. I've seen those things in people's kitchens. No, Carwin's like, whatever. Was that a good impression? Really good, thank you. How did your mum open jars

growing up? We had this thing, it was like a triangle serrated, like an alligator teeth on the side of it. And you'd just pop the jar in and just, and turn it. Twist it. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen those. No, you just use a knife. You just pop it in there. You're not really... No! When I do it, I'm not bending the thing,

so I'm not worried about resealing it. It's just kind of almost popping the actual flat part of the lid. Yeah, popping it. Also, way to wreck a knife. That's surely going to wreck a knife. It's just a butter knife. You know. That's why everybody's not...

You go to someone's house and they've got the knives. I've got one that I've used as a screwdriver in a pinch. And it's got a little bent end on it. Yeah, there's no respect for the butter knife. You can also get those little grippy things. They're like silicon and they're kind of cone shaped and you pop it on top. It's got little ridges and you just...

Twist it like that. Because is a jar... Because I'll quite often get, if I've got jars of whatever, like pickles or like sauerkraut or whatever, is it easy to open a jar when it's warm or when it's- It's hot because the metal expands. When it's warm, the metal's expanded away from the glass

because glass doesn't change in size as much under different temperatures. So you're better to open it when it's been in the fridge? Harder. Harder, yeah, yeah. Harder because the metal will be tighter. Okay, because I will, when I get stuff home from the supermarket, I'll crack it because those jars, like when they've been in the fridge, impossible to open.

Oh, yeah, yeah, they get way harder. Yeah. They get way harder. Now, what I did learn when I put up saying this is the craziest technique I've ever seen to open a jar. Someone said, yeah, you don't need the knife. You just whack it on the edge of the bench. Oh, no. You're whacking a glass jar against a hard bench.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. If you hit the lid, fine. But if you miss and hit the jar, you might have pickles all over the floor and a cut hand. So, Producer Jared, you were saying that your dad will also stab the jar? Yeah, Dad used to get a steak knife and stab the top, and then he would sellotape the hole, which I thought was fine. Resale.

Yeah, that's just resealing it, isn't it? I get the blunt of the knife and just on the rim. So it dents the cap and lets a little bit of air in. No, but what if you're denting the cap onto the jar? I like to reuse my jars. I want that jar in pristine condition. The day I can't pry open a jar with my bare hands, I don't know what I'm going to do. The middie makes her iced coffee in jars with a screw-on cap.

Yeah, that stuff. And then I have to wash it, which is another issue. Yeah. I have to wash it when I get home. And I can never unscrew it. Something about... Oh, you've got weak child hands. Look at these dainty little fingers.

Little weak child hands. That painter's hands. Well, we did run a poll. How do you open jars? 11% other. God, the tests are flying in. It's 55% pure strength. Hitting it on the bench.

Pure strength is just the greatest way to say I use my hands. Or like the tea towel or whatever. My unadulterated strength. 19% hit it on the bench. You're not getting the bond back. Or if it's your bench, you're missing your bench. We could have done it on our bench. You'd chip the stone bench.

Yeah, you'd chip it. 16% of people use a sharp knife and 11% other. Well, what's the other? Whack with a wooden spoon to release the air. That's what somebody messaged in. What is the other? I'd love to know these other techniques. Teaspoon under the lid and pop the seal. Yeah, so the teaspoon

theory is the same as the knife theory. It's just an implement that's thin that can get under there. Someone runs it under hot water. Oh, yeah. And that expands the metal and pops it and causes the seal. But then that could mess what can get under there. Someone runs it under hot water. Oh, yeah. And that expands the metal and pops it and causes a seal. But then that could mess what's in the jar, couldn't it? Could do. Heating up your food.

Yeah, yeah. And then putting it back in the fridge, doing that every time. Somebody said I bought an old lady jar opener off the infomercials and it was the best thing ever. I think my mum and dad have got one of these. Yeah, yeah. I would take that as an absolute attack on my masculinity if I got home and my wife had bought a jar opener.

I'd be like, she's fixing to leave me. But there are times when you cannot get the lid off, even if you're strong as hell. I have never come across a jar I couldn't open. Really? Not yet. You're so strong. Not yet.

Tough and strong. And I don't give up. Shannon, what were the other, the 11% of other responses on Instagram? Yeah, lots of hot water, some tea towels, and then, yeah, a few iterations of the bench, which is also what I do. I think that's the surefire way. Jar keys?

You're not going to get your bond back on your hump. I did chip off my bench once. Those things, I've seen those in people's drawers. They're jar keys. They're like a bright plastic and they've got a bottle opener on one end and the other end I've always wondered what it is. And that's the thing you put over the lid.

That's the thing you put over the lid and give it a little ponk. Wait, so, Shannon, going back to you, you said you chipped your bench doing this. Yeah, quite, maybe not that recent. What kind of bench? Like in my old flat and it chipped off cleanly. So I just got some nail glue and glued it back on.

And it moved out. Was it like a concrete bench? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looked like stone. That's why you don't do that. John Nail Glue fixed it. They didn't know. Well, until the next flatmate.

That's not my problem. Do you know the best technique I saw was you put the jar on the bench. And you put your hands on the bench. Yeah. And you put your hands like you interweave your fingers. Yeah. Like it's a game show buzzer. Yeah. Yeah.

Or CPR. I don't know if people do the CPR like that. You interweave your fingers and you put the jar in between your two palms and you squeeze it. Oh. And that breaks the seal as well. Yeah. Man, people are passionate about this. I love it. So many messages.

It's insane. This one's fine, the squeezy one, because to me they're still using pure strength. That's, yeah, which you are a fan of. You're using leverage. I am a big fan of pure strength. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. This week's fact of the day theme, Native Birds of New Zealand. Because it's bird of the year. And I think I'll have to go to show archivist JP. Yeah, producer Jared. I think we've done native birds before. Wow, this is a double up. No, but then it's going to be all new facts.

Okay. All new facts because I'm very passionate. Well, voting is open. It is. Shout out to the Kakapo. Yeah. A recent. I'm not a recent convert. I've always loved it.

Yeah. But having met one in person. Great birds. Great birds. You don't like recent convert, I've always loved it. Yeah. But having met one in person. Great birds, great birds. You don't like to go on about your charity, but here we are. The moor pork, also a huge fan of ruru, our owl, very cool. Those are my top two. Okay. For the bird of the year, get out there and vote.

Well, today's bird that we're focusing on is one that kind of, I wouldn't say slips under the radar, but it's our national bird. Sparrow. Yes. Yes. Finally. The common sparrow. It's getting some recognition that it deserves. No, it's the kiwi, you damn fool. Yeah. The kiwi,

the bird found nowhere else, although it is related to ostriches, emus and cassowaries. Wasn't there a news story last week, someone claiming it's Australian? And it got here? It got here after the kakapo. Right. They did a thing and it would have arrived after. We've always considered it to be the perfect example of island evolution.

Right. But apparently it got here after some of the other birds. Unbelievable. As long as it's not Australian Yeah well it's changed enough And they don't have any left But the thing I wanted to talk about today About the Kiwi that I did not know

In today's fact Two part One, they mate for life They're a monogamous bird Boring And then when are they going It stinks They're a monogamous bird. Boring. And then when are they going to stink? Yeah.

They're not splicing up. I love that little. Yeah. No wonder you're dwindling. She's always got a headache. He's been at golf for too long. Yeah. Come home. They're not scheduling and they love making.

Yeah. And that's a crucial part of monogamy. Yeah. You've got to prioritize. Yes. Sweet acts of romance. The second is the Kiwi can run 20 kilometres an hour. Yeah, because I knew that they could boogie.

Yeah, there's some wild videos of like big fat Kiwis on Stewart Island. And they're massive. Yeah. And they honk it. They boot it. I really want to go to Stewart Island again. I've only been once and I stayed one night in 2004, but there was something

absolutely magical about that spot. And yeah, you see people who go for hikes not even that far from the township. Yeah.

And they see Kiwis in real life. 20 kilometers an hour, 12 miles an hour for those using the Imperial Speed System. That's a lot. You put the treadmill

on 20 kilometers an hour and see how long you can keep that up. And they're on little wee legs. Yeah, tiny legs. Little, tiny, little. I was just imagining a Kiwi on a treadmill just momentarily. They totally could. Yeah. If you could, hmm, how would you do it? It'd have to be dark, so it wouldn't be your average gym. You'd probably have to turn the music down. Turn the TV off on the treadmill too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The light wouldn't like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wouldn't like that. Yeah, juice TV in the background.

Yeah. Cracking out all the hits. Turn that right down. Turn the lights down. Yeah. Probably want to go in the middle of the night. To a 24 hour gym. Yeah. With your Kiwi. Yeah. And pop it on the treadmill. On the treadmill. Crank it up to 20 and see how long it can do it. Yeah. So today's fact of the day and the first for New Zealand Native

Bird Week is that the Kiwi is a monogamous bird who can run 20 kilometres an hour. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Greek woman, 44, intentionally starts two wildfires to watch firefighters and flirt with them afterwards. She's been convicted to 36 months in prison and has to pay a 1,000 euro fine.

I would have thought this is more in the vicinity of that prison time at a $50,000 fine to really deter it happening again. Because they're like wildfires. That's not a backyard or a scrub fire. That's a wildfire. That's a wildfire. That may have needed a lot of firemen and helicopters. And grease. Yeah. Gets overrun

with them. Yeah. So August 24th and 25th this year, this woman started the wildfires on farmland when they said these were deliberately lit, an investigation led to this woman. She enjoyed watching firefighters and flirting with them. Why didn't she just do some home baking and take it down to the fire station?

Why the fire station? Like, isn't that a way to flirt with firemen? If you're a firefighter and you're listening to the show now, man or woman, if you're a firefighter, how would you like to be flirted with? Let us know. I feel like this is a valuable community service.

You can start the text, I'm a firefighter and I like it when. And then you tell us people do bring down bacon. Yeah, when they do their calendar. And you can flirt with them then maybe. By their calendar. You don't need to start a fight. Change your own smoke alarm batteries. She can't all be there.

She's not all there. That's not a sound mind. there. That's not a sound mind or something like that. No, it's not a sound mind at all. But then you never know, like when people have a crush on someone, they kind of do this. In their head, they devise a scenario to cross paths with

people. And as you so politely put it, if they're not of sound mind, they can become obsessed with these things. Yes. And kind of rationalise it to themselves and make it seem like a normal person's thing to do. I think we should ask a question. I'd love to open up the phone lines now. What did you do to get someone's attention?

Maybe to flirt with them? Yes. Not lighting wildfires, obviously. No, no, nothing. Obviously nothing crazy. Carwen, you had a story of a friend at uni that had a, did they have a crush on the RA? Yeah, look, we had quite an attractive RA.

What is an RA? I don't know. A residence advisor. Yeah. Residence advisor. Yeah, they're the person that's kind of, they're the one that's like, guys, stop. You can be very loud.

Put the music down. They lived in the halls of residence and then didn't want to flat. Yeah, shut down parties, all that jazz. Ours was quite attractive. He was a PE student. Got a picture? What?

Ask your friend. And one day, my flatmate was like, oh, I just want to like chat to him. Like, I need a scenario to chat to him, see if he vibes me,

you know? And I was like, well, we can't throw a party. No thanks. I'm not dealing with that. Also, yeah, he's there to tell you off. He's not going to be flirted with.

I mean, that could be kind of hard, though. But anyways. So she was like, what if I just set the fire alarm off? And so she, without consulting us, I will say, because I would have said, don't do this, please. She held her hairdryer up to the fire alarm because they were in each of our rooms, the little detectors. All firefighters have to deal with

these psycho people. No, this is an RA issue though. Yeah, it was an RA. Oh, right, so the firemen wouldn't have been called. No, they didn't. I don't know if maybe

he came down and didn't, like immediately call the fire brigade because they didn't come. Okay. But he came down and he was like,

what's happened? She's like, I was just drying my hair. I don't know, maybe smoke rose up from my hair or something. It's crazy. But I just happened to I was just drying my hair. I don't know. Maybe smoke rose up from my hair or something. That's crazy. But I just happened to look so good because my hair's just been done.

Yeah, right. Fresh out the shower in a towel. And so now they're married and... Nah, nothing happened from there. Nah, okay. He was just like, oh, this... Well, he was also a bit older than us, right? Right.

A few years ahead. So he was just like, oh, this bloody 18-year-old. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so that didn't work out. No. Okay, but that's the kind of thing I want to know.

Like, what have you done to get someone's attention? Whether you've staged something. Uh-huh. I don't know. Broken something so someone has to help you and fix it.

Yeah, played the damsel or the man in distress. 0800-DIAL-ZM is our number. You can give us a call now. Text through 9696. Yeah, what did you do to get somebody's attention? Insane behaviour by a woman who has now been sentenced to jail.

Yep, and a fine. And fined, yeah, after starting wildfires because she wanted to flirt with firemen. I mean, maybe Greek firemen are quite hot. I haven't seen the Greek firemen calendar. I haven't either. But now I'm imagining it it and it's pretty good.

Yeah. So we want to know from you what you've done to get someone's attention. Because maybe you like them. You were trying to flirt. So you set something up. I had a meltdown in art class because my print was two millimetres off

so it didn't look perfect. He showed me his to make me feel better about mine. His was worse. So my little meltdown performance needed me, my now 19-year partner. Oh, okay. So they deliberately had a meltdown. I wonder if he knows.

A man and a friend of mine were being followed by a lady she fancied the look of in a tradie ute. Without asking if it was a good idea, she break-tested him and caused an accident. Safe to say, neither him or I were very impressed. Lad, not lady. You might have been

confused there. The gender switch role, lad. We were being followed by a lad she fancied. Wow. Slammed the brake on. Crashed into. Matt, good morning. What did you do to get somebody's attention? I significantly failed science in school because I had a crush on a hot gymnast.

And she had economics at the same time as science. And I used to sprint from the science block over to the economics class so I could walk her downstairs. But what I had to do is I had to piss off the teacher in science so he would kick me out. So consequently, I'm dumb as a bucket of rocks, but 21 years married and two kids. Oh, you did it.

You crafty son of a bitch, you did it. That's a great story. That's a great story. Because all these stories, like that's got a happy ending. But when people go through all this hassle and nothing comes of it, you're like, what are you doing? Matt, thanks for your call. Helena, what did

you do to get somebody's attention? I was early in the week, I wanted to get Matt cooler of the week. Oh, do you? We can do that. Do you want to go back to Matt? We'll get Matt back. Stand by, stand by, stand by. Matt's gone. We'll get Matt back. Helena, what did you do to get somebody's attention?

So we were at a games night, and it was a good night, and I took my crush's Defence Force ID. Oh, okay. So he wouldn't have been able to get back into the base. Well, thankfully, he was just a part-time soldier at that stage, so we were in too much trouble. But, yeah, then he had to catch up and get his ID back. Oh, yeah, that's like when catch up and get his ID back. Oh, yeah.

That's like when people steal watches and stuff, eh? Well, was he like, you stole my ID? Or were you like, I don't know how this ended up in my purse? A little bit of a mixture of the two. Right. Are you still with him? Yeah, 12 years married and four kids later. These are great stories.

These are great stories. There's a man that saw a red flag and ran straight to it. Yeah. It's a military training, mate. These are great stories. There's a man that saw a red flag and ran straight to it. Yeah. It's a military training, mate. Helena, thank you. Let's go to Karen. Karen, what did you do? This was your daughter?

She did something to get a guy's attention? Yeah, so she's almost 20 now, and she'll probably die if she knows I'm telling this story. But I guess I'll let you know. Love it. Because it's too good not to. Okay. So when she was about 15, the day before, she'd gone to, just setting the picture, she'd gone to Annie with her friend who had broken her wrist,

and there was a really hot doctor there. Yep. So the following day, she faked that she had really bad appendicitis. Went to Annie, they prepped her up and everything. They'd given her ultrasounds the whole lot. She was holding his hand. Oh, it was a pain, you know. So she was holding the hot doctor's hand?

Yeah, yeah. Wild. And they were just prepping her up and about to give her fentanyl and telling her everything that was happening. And then she told the truth and she said, I lied. Oh my God.

No, you'd die on that lie. We almost fell through the floor. I just looked at him and he looked at me and I said, well, what do you do? Wait, so how old was she when she did this? 15. How old was the guy? Oh, he would have been in his 30s. So he's just like, oh, my God, I have to leave now.

Oh, my God. And did she get in trouble? Was she grounded? What do you do? Yeah, what do you do? I don't know. Hands up. I don't know what you do.

And to think she's just out there in the wild unattended right now. I wish Hayley was here today because didn't Hayley fake having an eye test to get glasses? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because she wanted Anastasia glasses. Yeah, but not because the 50-year-old optician was hot. Karen, thanks for sharing that. Brilliant. Matt's back.

Caller of the Week on this early Monday. Yeah. Thanks, Gene. $50 at McCafe. You take that lovely economics major. You take her out for a coffee. Our Caller of the Week. We've got a $50 McCafe voucher. Thanks to our mates at McCafe. You take that lovely economics major. You take her out for a coffee. Our caller of the week, we've got a $50 McCafe voucher. Thanks to our mates at McCafe.

Well done. Thanks, gents. All right, I want to know what you've done to get somebody's attention. Maybe you've staged something, you've faked something, broken something. Some wild, insane stories coming through. Someone said, I've got a whole new kitchen to get a guy's attention. The owner of the company was really hot, but it turns out he wasn't that great at doing I've got a whole new kitchen to get a guy's attention. The owner of the company was really hot, but turns out he wasn't that great at doing

kitchens. A whole new kitchen? Sorry you've been through that, but. Yeah. Somebody said, I can't call, but my brother's mum saw my dad working in a garage. So she pulled some parts out of her engine so she had a reason to go into the mechanics

and talk to him about it. They dated for a few years and had my brother, but it obviously didn't last. Right. Yeah. Someone said I can't wait to hear people out themselves as stalkers. Well, here we are. I worked in an office with a woman who lit a fire in her rubbish bin so the fireman would come. What? That is crazy

because what if the hot ones aren't rostered on and you've got all the mingers? Are they not all hot? That's disappointing. I mean yeah, of course they are. Yes. Sorry, my apologies. I faked fainting and holding my breath at a party that this guy was having. So the ambulance came and he came with me to hospital and they checked all my vitals.

Never went further than that, but everybody thought I was dying. So, yeah. Wow. That's how you want to start a relationship, being crazy. On that level of crazy, too. On the first night in hospital residences another new doctor knocked on my door and asked if I had any paracetamol. He said

he had a headache. I gave him some tablets and he went away. But then I asked him out and 33 years later we're still married. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Did he pay you back for the Panadols? I don't know. She's written a novel about it. What? She said I've written a novel about it. 33 years later we're still married. I've written a novel about it.

Cool. Yeah. Mira. Yeah. Myra? What would you know? You wouldn't have that many pages, would you? Nah. Nah. I owned a cleaning company and had a crush on one of our suppliers. One night I called him and said my washing machine had flooded it and needed his help to dry up all the water.

I had all the necessary machines at home. I knew how to work them, but I wanted to get them around. It worked. Married. Oh, okay. Married now. Because when do you, like, reveal the fact that you've entrapped these people? You know, that you set that up?

Or do you never tell them? I'm a big believer in never revealing your hand. Yeah. Yeah. No, a magician never tells you how his tricks are done. You should never tell. You know, when you're playing poker and you're out, you don't have to show everybody what happened. Because it's a real, like, do they find it cute or do they find it creepy and stalkery never tell. You know when you're playing poker and you're out, you don't have to show everybody what happened.

Because it's a real like, do they find it cute or do they find it creepy and stalkery and a bit deceitful? A little bit of both. Depends on the mood in the household that week. If you like today's podcast, tell your friends. You could send them the link. And if you don't have any friends, just pretend you did. Yeah, great.

And rate and review. And maybe get out there and try to make some friends.
