It's 4am, I must be lonely. Have you had any sleep? No. No. No? Not either. I was too excited to see my friends Fletch and or Vaughn. Yeah.

The top six is soon. Vaughn, there's been, is this a, they do this every year, don't they? Yeah, where the trust of the nation sits towards the media. I tell you what, not great news for the media. Oh, no. We are. That's us, isn't it? Really?

ZM wasn't, they didn't do music stations, did they? But we're all, you know, we're all under the umbrella. We've got Bryn, though. I trust Bryn. Norks this morning. Where's Bryn? Is this why he can't be trusted? Bryn's been,n's been taken away

for some more personal training by the mainstream media machine on how to peddle lies on behalf of the government. Well, I've got the top six reasons you cannot trust the media coming up in today's top six. We'll give you another chance to get on board and escape. We've got some rain coming for the Easter weekend,

which is not the best news. Terrible news for the Easter bunny. Yeah, a wet Easter bunny. Yeah. But it's okay because the eggs are wrapped in tinfoil. That's correct. Yeah, yeah. Tinfoil is waterproof.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Alex Warren on ZM. Fleshborn and Hayley, the show thanks to Animates, making happy happen for pets. Drama in the workplace. It's drama in the workplace that can cause teams to really bond. Oh, it's because we love a goss. We come together.

Oh, we love a goss. On a whole, shared experience and shared memories build bonds at the workplace. But there's something about drama, like strikes, firings, like, you know, you all witnessing someone blow up a scandal. Oh, yeah, when someone steals something from work and they fire them.

Yes! Tony's been stealing staples. Yeah, and you're like, did you hear about Tony? He got done for the staples. And they walk Tony. They walk him through their office and we're going to be like, Tony! And he's like, Tony! Go on without me. Was it worth it for the free

staples, Tony? Was it worth it? Hell yeah, brother. So it can take workplace divisions and turn it into coordinated collaboration. You might be thinking if you're in management, that's good. Here's the thing that's not good is when they share these things

and the gossip and the drama and everything, they're also more likely to share how much they earn and that's what management don't like people talking about. Oh, I know, but I'm all for that. Just that open chat. Yeah. Okay, let's all say on the count of three how much money we earn. One, two, three. $27 an hour.

Do you get living wage? I'm getting there. I've crawled up. Yeah, I've crawled up. No, I think, yeah. I think it makes sense because you get comfortable with people the more you share gossip, the more you share a bit of like, yeah, and then you're like, oh, my God,

I want to tell you other things. I like a pinky in the bum, you know? What? Sorry? Hayley, not at work. Not at work. Not at the workplace. No, please, off the off the clock.

Oh God, never at work. So they say cross-departmental trust develops, making employees more likely to support each other and work together effectively, but back each other up against those higher up. So it can be bad. Well, if you're in management, you might be a little bit scared of the, you know, the working class. Okay. So it can be bad. If you're in management, you might be a little bit scared

of the working class. Okay. So a bit of drama. Some shared experience. Yeah. Okay. Do you reckon the three of us like, because who's the shortest? I'm the shortest at 5'11". And then it goes. Me and then Vaughn. You and then Vaughn.

Do you reckon the three of us. Unless I'm in my heels. If you're in your heels. Oh, when Fletch wears his heels, he's six-three. But do you reckon the three of us without heels could take on Ross Boss in a fight? Yeah. He's too tall.

No core strength. We'll do that thing where Vaughn crouches behind him and I'll push him over backwards. And then we've got him. Yeah, great. Great. Wait, why are we doing this?

I don't know why we're physically taking him down. Why are we physically assaulting our boss? I thought it was more of a banding together sort of like to support each other. Well, just because of the goss, you know, the goss. It's like the goss that's going to bring us closer together. It's going to be about the boss. The goss about Ross Boss. Yeah, we could take him down.

Give him the odd Ross Boss toss. Play. ZM. Fletchforn and Hayley. Now is kind of the time that Kiwis are looking to, you know, book those holidays and escape winter. Yeah, that's right. House of Travel have come out and said that the top destinations for Kiwis,

Queensland, Fiji, London, the Cook Islands, and Sydney. Those are your popular ones. I like all of those. Yeah. Interestingly, though, they're saying that they're seeing a shift in where Kiwis are going. Like, they're kind of branching out. Hanoi in Vietnam, which is, I love Hanoi.

It's such a cool city. I've never been. Like, the street food. And then you can go up the coast and you do the sailboats. Ha Long Bay. Beautiful. Tokyo and Bali gaining popularity with Kiwis. Aussies are loving Tokyo and Japan at the moment.

Are they? Oh, God, yeah. It's their number one destination. Really? I think it's even Bali. Yeah, we can kind of get there like for cheaper, like it's halfway. You know, if we go to Europe, it's like a full, you know, 48 hours. But Asia's like not as far.

Yeah, and I feel as well people are like kind of turning their back on America because of Trump, but also because it's so expensive at the moment. Like the US dollar is like 56 cents. I know. I don't know if you saw any of the people at Coachella whinging about the food, but basically New Zealand dollars, I think it was like $50 for a Red Bull and vodka.

$50 New Zealand dollars. Imagine if I'm having a really nice time at Coachella and having a fun, friendly, sexy time and then I get pregnant and I'm in America. How am I going to deal with that? It takes a while. You'll be home. I'd say fly home. How am I going to deal with that? Well, it takes a while. You'll be home. I'd say fly home.

Yeah. Or you're going to be home. I don't reckon deal with it on holiday. No. Right. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Well, interestingly enough,

there's a guy who's like a travel blogger. I think he's been to like over 100 countries in the world. Which, Fletch, would you say, you know, you wouldn't be near there, would you? I don't know. I've never really counted, but some people do and they make it a thing. Yeah, they do make it a thing. like over a hundred countries in the world, which Fletch, would you say, you know, you wouldn't, you wouldn't be near. I don't know. I've never really counted, but some people do and they make it a thing. Yeah,

they do make it a thing. And on their Instagram, they're like 56 countries and counting. And they put all the flags of the places they've been in their bio. I know. And I'm like, get a job and contribute, please.

Yeah. I just feel like sometimes I don't know what's a country. You know what I mean? Like in Europe, you're like, is that a country or is that a what? And are they counting those countries where they're just stopping over on a plane and they're just transiting? Would you count that? Yeah, because I've been to Munich four times then.

I've never been to Munich. You've got to get out. You've got to get out. Okay. Okay, well, he was like, here's the best holiday destinations if you're on a budget, right? So his number one recommendation is my favorite place in the world, Thailand. I love Thailand.

So cheap. So cheap. Everything's cheap. Like it hasn't been like hugely affected by, you know, the world. Depends. Depends where in Thailand you go. Yeah. But I mean, everywhere you go,

you can find somewhere cheap. Cheap food, cheap accommodation. Okay. His second one was Cambodia, which I've never been to, but like looks amazing. It's beautiful.

Have you? Very cheap. Yeah. Yeah. Less pricey than Thailand. It says da da da da. Number three is China. So if you want to go for like a holiday to like Beijing

or Shanghai or Hong Kong or something like that yep I mean I love Hailey loves Hong Kong loves Hong Kong his fourth is India which I've also been to very cheap good food great people yep

pure chaos but like really great and his fifth one is oh my god so chaos and his fifth is Portugal oh okay I've never been I would love to no I've never been

I've never been but very beautiful beaches you know rocks rocks and beaches rocks and beaches okay

there might be more to it maybe no I think in Portugal it's rocks and beaches that's what they're known for. Yeah, that's old Portugal. That's old Portugal. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

From the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley group chat, this is the top six. Hello there. Today's top six is regarding the trust in news outlets and media. This is AUT's 2025 Trust in the News in Aotearoa New Zealand report. So in 2020, 53% of people trusted news. 32% of people trust the news in 2025. But the sharp decline has kind of like stalled a little bit.

It's flattening out. Right. So trust in personally chosen news sources remains at 45%. So people... We trust our own echo chamber. We trust what we choose to believe. Yeah, this is a problem now, isn't it? Which is wild when you think about it. It's like in America at the moment, everything that's going on with Trump and his tariffs, like Fox News and the right wing are all like,

this is just great, you know. Oh, no. People have no idea how actually screwed they are. Yeah. Yeah. So 73% of people avoid news at the time just to it being negative and overwhelming. So not necessarily not trusting it,

just being like, I am not in the mood for this. Yeah, I have that. It's not that I don't trust it, it's more that I'm like, not today. I feel like today I would love to not ingest that news. Like life's stressful enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Older adults, 55 to 64, are more distrustful

and tend to seek foreign outlets for news. Younger adults, 18 to 34, have more trust overall but rely heavily on social media outlets for news. Younger adults, 18 to 34, have more trust overall, but rely heavily on social media outlets for news. And right-leaning voters are significantly more likely to distrust the media. Yeah, we're screwed. We're screwed.

The world is... Like, should we unplug the internet at the wall? Yeah, I think, yeah, I'm on board. At the wall. And take the cord. At the wall. Cut the cords. Hide the wall? Yeah, I think, yeah. I'm on board. At the wall. Take the cord. Cut the cords. Hide the cord.

Top six reasons you can't trust the media. After reading that, like, this is a joke, but... Worrying. Number six on the list. The top six reasons you can't trust the media. We're lizard people. Listen to this. That was us speaking lizard

Fluent lizard Because we're lizards Because we're lizard people We're in human skin Guys we're on air Stop talking lizard Oh stop talking lizard Oh okay sorry

Sorry But to all of our lizard listeners I will say Number five on the list of the top six reasons you can't trust the media. We all drink children's blood. Yeah. Yeah. Keeps us youthful.

So when I became... Yeah, when I became a professional broadcaster, that really shocked me. Yeah. Because I didn't realise. And I was like, you know, theatre people don't do that, but when they said you've got a job in radio but you have to drink this child's blood.

Oh man, I was beside myself. I mean, I did it obviously. And you develop a taste for it, right? Yeah, you do and now I love it. It's why my bottle is not see-through and the straw is black so people can't see if we put a video up and I take a drink.

Yeah, they have no idea. I have ice. I like to cool mine as well. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six reasons you can't trust the media. The tunnels.

The tunnels? We know all about the tunnels. Yes. What tunnels? Hayley. Good work, Hayley. Good work. I'm acting.

I'm acting. Yeah. Go with me here. I'm acting. What'm acting. Yeah. Go with me here. I'm acting. What tunnels? I don't know. What tunnels? Certainly not the tunnels that connect all of the lizard people outlets

where we carry around all the children's blood that we drink. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six reasons you can't trust the media, we will say anything for money. Anything. Yeah. I think I would say anything for money. Anything. Yeah. I think I would say anything for money. I will sell you anything. I'll sell you anything.

I like to say authentic. And what helps me say authentic is Gatorade. The fresh taste of blueberry Gatorade. Every morning I drink Gatorade. We will say it. If you've got money, we will say it. Number two on the list of the top six reasons you can't trust the media.

We control the weather. Yeah, we do. You hear us tell you the weather, it's because we know what's going to happen with the weather because we are in control of the weather. It's weird because we've booked holidays this weekend, but we're turning the weather bad. Why would we do that?

Because you've got to make the bad weather affect you sometimes because if you have it too good all the time, people become suspicious that you can control the weather. That's right. Codding onto it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And number one on the list of the top six reasons you can't trust the media, we have time machines. Yes. We can go back in time. I thought we were keeping that secret though, Vaughn. Yeah. Well, I'll go back in time right now. Restart this intro and let's pretend we're go back in time. I thought we were keeping that secret though, Vaughan. Yeah. Well, I'll go back in time right now. Restart this intro and let's pretend we're going back in time.

Yeah. Redo the top six. Okay, yeah. In the Fletch Vaughan and Hayley group chat, this is the top six. Good morning. Today's top six is about the mistrust that we have in media. It's starting out bad. Oh, really?

But it's the slump has kind of plateaued off, but people still have a massive distrust in the media. Wow. I'm just going to fast forward time. And that's today's top six. Did you even do number one? No, he didn't. He didn't.

I don't think you did. Number one. Did you? Did you guys not? Oh, no. Did you slip out of time? Yeah, we're going to have to go back in there because I missed number one. Did you hear number one?

I didn't hear it. No, I didn't hear it. I'll go back. From the Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley group chat, this is the Top 6. We control time. That's number one. And that is today's Top 6. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

So what day does the bunny come? So Friday, we're on Easter, right? It's Good Friday. Sunday's Easter Sunday. Sunday. Easter Monday. Sunday's the day. The bunny comes on Sunday.

The Sunday's the day you do your bunny. Right, because I didn't grow up in a religious family, so it was sort of just like whatever day my parents come out. Can we just have chocolate today? Yeah, I think it's spread across the week, and I don't think the chocolate part is particularly religious. I think it was always just Easter Sundays, the day that the bunny comes.

Oh, right. Because I went to a Presbyterian high school and very deeply we studied the bunny, the large humanoid bunny and its power of Christ. So it's interesting that you didn't have that. Of course, that was the big story about Jesus who moved that giant rock of the tomb. He was at the answer.

It was the bunny. A huge bunny. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which is why we eat bunnies now at Easter. That's right. Yeah. Very simple tie there.

It all makes sense. So the reason I'm asking this is because it's Easter this weekend, and apparently, like, I always get one Easter egg every single year. And you know me, I go hollow with buttons. That's my, like, that's my vibe. But apparently, they're horrendously expensive this year.

And someone online even tried to work out per kg. You know how, like, you can go, like, oh, this is seven bucks, but per kg, it's X amount. Yep. He worked out that Easter eggs are more expensive than caviar. Now, producer Shannon behind the scenes has been running some research down this angle. Yeah, research is bold, I will say. Googling.

Googling. Yeah. So I've gone to a few supermarket websites and it looks like roughly for caviar, you're looking at about $13 to $15 a kg. So it's expensive. And for some Easter bunnies this year, they're up to $20 per kg. Like the posh ones. For the bougie ones.

Yeah, okay. Down to like $8. Your Linda tips. Yeah. So like some of them are like $8 a kg. But if you got a bad caviar and a good bunny, it's more expensive for the bunny. Right.

Is this economics? I think this is economics. Yeah, this is girl economics. Because if I sat there and went, what would I rather spend my money on? I'm saving money by buying an Easter bunny. You know? Hey, don't girl math this.

I feel like you're slipping into girl math territory here. We are trying to say that caviar is a better expense than buying chocolate on Easter. Yeah. I am nervous, though, because I am house-sitting for Carwin, and I'm worried the bunny's not going to find me on Sunday. Oh, you've just got to leave a note. He knows.

He knows. Leave a note. You've got to leave a note. Does that mean I get Carwin's chocolate, too, though? Yes. No, because if Car to leave a note. He knows. He knows. Leave a note. You've got to leave a note. Does that mean I get Carlin's chocolate too though? Yes. No, because if Carlin leaves a note, she's got to leave a note too. Leave a note. The Easter Bunny works much like a DHL courier post redirect.

Redirect situation. Yeah, you just tell them where you're going to be and they'll probably leave a card because you didn't answer the door. It is weird that the rabbit leaves effigies, chocolate effigies of himself for us to eat. Yeah, but now he's leaving yucky fish seeds. I mean, I know caviar is like

No, I know caviar is supposed to be fancy, but I think caviar is manky. I've only had it once in my life. I don't think I've ever had it once. Oh, it's so yuck. Fletch, it's so yuck. You'd hate it. Caviar is from a sturgeon, right?

A particular type of fish. Because the roe. No, they just squirt out the eggs and eat it. My granddad used to, when we'd go floundering, used to get the eggs of the flounder. They were pretty yum. Someone holds a fish and squeezes it. Yeah, squeezes its belly and it just like slips

in like that. It's so yuck. It's really gross. Now comes the caviar. Yeah, yeah. Into a sieve. Right, but chocolate in some instances is now as expensive. Yes. Yeah, yeah. And also squeezed from a fish. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole, silly little pole. 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 is if someone offers you chocolate from a block, how much are you taking?

I'm talking a king-size block. Rows, rows, rows, rows, rows, rows. How many are you taking? A row. A row. And sometimes I'm trying to break off a row, but two rows come off. I don't feel bad about that. That's the luck of the draw, baby.

Okay, a different situation. Okay, there was two of you, you're watching a movie, and you've got a block of chocolate. You're obviously, the two of you are going to eat that whole block, right? So you take a row at a time. If somebody came up to you in the workplace, and you're just at your desk, and they've got a block, and there's a lot of people around you, are you still doing a row?

I'm doing a row. I'm doing a row. I'd probably just do two in that instant. Two, I know. But you're only doing two to come across as like dainty. You know what I mean?

Yeah. And being like, I can only have two. But we want a row. We want a row. I take a row and then I look up and if everyone's like,

aghast I took a row, I'll break that row in half. No, but then you finger it. And make a petty offer of, oh, who wants these two pieces? And then everyone says, no, it's fine. And then I eat all the row in half. No, but then you finger it. And make a petty offer of, oh, who wants these two pieces? And then everyone says, no, it's fine. And then I eat all the row.

Yeah. All right. So the most popular answer, we said, is it one square, two squares, a row, or more than a row?

The most popular answer at 58% is two squares. Yeah. They're being nice. The second most popular at 36% is a whole row. A row. Yeah, God. They're being nice. The second most popular at 36% is a whole row. A row.

Yeah, a row. One square is at 5%. Who's a one square? And more than a row is at 1%. More than a row. Okay. Yeah. So you're snapping off half the block. Well, yeah, two or more rows

I guess. Sometimes you break it and it'll break on the per se. Or you get half a row. Yeah. Oh, that's good. That's good stuff. Let's see what the people have got to say. Mason said, just one square. Don't want to be greedy.

And then I hope they'll offer me more. No, Mason. It's all gone. Yeah. You had your chance. Can't pay down. You get one offer. I certainly want more, but I'll start at two, says Nicole.

How kind. Go a row, Nicole. Next time, but I'll start at two, says Nicole. How kind. Go a row, Nicole. Next time, go a row. Go a row, Nicole. Nicole, go a row. Go a row. Go a row. Go a row.

Go a row. Go a row. Bernadette says, if it's Whittaker's, it has to be a row. That's the equivalent of two squares of a Cadbury block. Because Cadbury keep shrink-flating, don't they? Yeah, I know, but that's bad math as well. No, but they're saying the Whittaker's Row is the equivalent of two Cadbury Squares, indicating that the Cadbury Square is bigger.

Oh, it might be. Is that right? No, it is. She's got that wrong. No, the square itself is maybe not as thick, though. I don't know. It's been a while. Need to see you working there, Bernadette.

Carlina said, I ain't mucking around trying to break off two pieces. I'm taking a goddamn row. Yeah, good. Charlene, Bernadette. Carlina said, I ain't mucking around trying to break off two pieces. I'm taking a goddamn rope. Yep, good. Charlene, Shirelle. Which one is it? Like the vastly different form. Yeah, those are two

completely separate names. You can't just say two names and lump them together. Is it Gary or Keith? I can't read this properly. Oh, just say Gary, Keith, and then that'll be fine. Okay, so Keith says, depends on who's offering. If it's the besties or family, a whole row.

Otherwise, if it's just somebody else, two squares to be polite. Yep. Classic Keith. Robbie said, I'd take a square of four. Oh, Robbie. Oh. Madness. So the equivalent of a row, but he's taking a square. Okay. That's a hard break, Robbie. Oh. Madness. So the equivalent of a row, but he's taking it in a square.

Okay. That's a hard break, Robbie. You're not going to be able to break that every time. Surgical. Sigourney. Weaver. Good. Weaver.

Weaver breaks off. It could be two. It could be four. It could be two rows. It could be half the block. I like that. Yep. Actually, Sigourney, you've nailed that.

Amber said the whole block. Love that. If you're offering me chocolate, you've nailed that. Amber said the whole block. Love that. If you're offering me chocolate, you've got to be willing to lose it all. Linda said... That's good. One square means they'll offer again quickly. I'm not rolling the dice on that, Linda. You might knock it off at it again.

Highly depends on what's already broken on the bar, said Sarah. Yes. It's a case by case. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. If you get it and the person before you has only taken two, but then you could get three if it's a five. Yeah. Or you could go Robbie and try to break off those last two and the two straight

below it. Just break on an angle. I hope you get a quarter. Robbie, you mad dog. Play ZM's Flesh, Fun and Haley. Right now, actually. Right? Like, we've got the tail end of it. Yeah, tail end. So, two weekends.

Yeah. So, I went and saw some of our friends Flesh, actually, in Melbourne here from Zagago. And they had Coachella live. Like, there was like, there's a full live stream you can watch now. Yeah, YouTube do it. It's amazing. Yeah. Oh, it's incredible.

So it looked like an amazing Coachella. I remember when I saw the lineup, I was like, what? Like, what's happening? It's kind of confusing. It was Missy Elliott

and there was Lady Gaga and there was a bunch of people that I didn't know and then like a bunch of like great people. But people are saying that this year

is one of the best Coachellas that's ever been. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because a few moments. But is this like me with the 1990s? Like I just consider it the best decade but it was because it was a formation time and all that.

No, I think this is genuinely so good. So, okay, one, Charli XCX came out and she as part of her thing, brought out not only Troye Sivan, not only Billie Eilish, but also our very own Lorde. So, like, not bad for a set at Coachella for CharlieXCX. Yeah, because you're always expecting at least one surprise, but then you get three.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You get like a little cameo. Was Charlie the headline of the whole thing? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. No, old man. Sorry. So, okay.

That's the exact reaction I get from my girls when I ask them a dumb question. Oh, for God's sake. Dad, shut up. Shut up. Why? Oh, you're so embarrassing. Okay, let's go to the next thing, which I thought was amazing.

As a Queen fan myself, is Benson Boone brought out Brian May to play guitar on the songs. And I feel like the crowd was like, didn't even notice. Who's that old white-haired man? Yeah. I mean, you know. He was incredible, eh? He's so good live.

Benson Boone. Yeah. I thought you were giving Brian May a compliment. I'm like, I reckon Brian May knows that he's alright live. I reckon he knows he's alright, yeah. I also think that Benson Boone was admitting that he's like, Freddie Mercury's my icon, you know. Yeah.

With his big songs and he had these big glittery pieces on and doing the flips. Okay, Vaughn, the headline act, Lady Gaga, obviously. Mother. Mother. Her set was incredible, like insane. I've watched it, I reckon, like four or five times at this point.

Really? Yep. And people are saying it's one of the best Coachella performances of all time. Like, I mean, Paris Goebel was the choreographer. She did all of her hits, including her new one, Alejandro, poker face, everything, bad romance. Like she was flawless and just gave it absolutely everything. So people are saying like this is genuinely one of the greatest Coachella sets of all time. Well, spare a thought for any Kiwis that are there because of food.

Did you see people posting about how expensive the food was? Oh. Like insane for drinks and food. Yeah, yeah, like a sandwich for like $30. And if you're spending like New Zealand dollars, the conversion, it's almost double. Because wasn't it where Red Bull vodkas were $27 American dollars? Is that right?

At the bar? Yeah. So $50. Or $55, yeah. $50 for a Red Bull vodka. For a Red Bull vodka. I mean, we're sneaking in a little hip flask, right? Do you know what I mean? At those prices.

What's it like? Can you sneak things into Coachella? Like you get a pat down and there's a security line. Right. Yeah, you just have to take a big, deep breath. And smuggle it in. Yeah. Okay, so that was, Wait, is weekend one done?

Yeah, weekend one. Because it's only Sunday there now. Yeah, so Sunday will finish today and then weekend two next weekend. Next weekend, right. Looks so good. Is the Tupac hologram coming back? Nah.

We're done with Tupac. We're done with Tupac hologram. Yeah, we're done with that. I just think with all the ditty news of late, Tupac would really have thrived. No, I think Tupac just needs to rest in peace. I think he's done. Tupac did not like that Puff Daddy guy.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Guys, I have finished maths. I've finished White Lotus. I've finished a lot of the show. I've finished adolescence. I've finished everything. I've finished everything I'm watching at the moment I finished Finland I guess you could call it a

Finnish finished I hated that I really hated that too hold my hand no don't hold his hand I wish you hadn't done that are you proud of yourself Vaughn are you proud are you feeling proud of that

hold my hand. Carry me. Carry me. So here's my thing, right? Like I, okay, and I really need to change this, but I have all the apps. I've got Netflix, Prime, Amazon. That's the same thing. Disney, Neon, Hey You, everything.

But I like, I'm'm so paralyzed by indecision about what to invest in next. You've got all the apps, but you don't know what you want. Yeah. So every time we talk about a show that we're watching, our text machine goes utterly mad and everyone texts in saying,

this is what I'm watching. This is what I want right now. I want our listeners to text in 9696 and tell us what are you watching right now that I have to watch? Because honestly, I'm paralyzed by fear. This would be a great segment that we could do regularly, like listener recommendations.

Yeah, listener recs. Because I don't know if this would work for my current situation, but I need to clean the hard water stains off my grey tiles. Oh, darling. Could a listener recommend a cleaning solution for that? Spray and walk away. No, I've tried that. Ex-a-mold. No, I've tried that. Ex-a-mold didn't take it off. Nah. Like, I'm going to need anything in the world. Scrub daddy. I've got a scrub daddy, but you've got to have something to scrub with

the daddy. You can't just have the scrub daddy. daddy, but you've got to have something to scrub with the daddy. You can't just have the scrub daddy. So are you using the 30 second spray and walk away? Yeah, I've used everything. What is this? Is this in the shower? Water stains. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

God damn. I told you your water is trash. No, I've got great water. I've got great water. I did one sip of water at Fletcher's house and my throat got hard water stains. Oh my God. I know. I had a cup of water at Fletcher's and I gained four got hard water stains. Oh my God, I know, I had a cup of water

at Fletcher's and I gained four kgs. It was so thick. It's weird. No, no, we can do my, I had a drink

at Fletcher's place and the moon started to affect my tides. My water, there's nothing wrong with my water, okay? But this could be

a great segment we could do regularly, recommendations. I totally agree. Or listeners that are in a pickle could put a question to the listeners on our show.

Already, so many people are texting it. What are we doing? TV recommendations or cleaning Fletch's shower? Because the shower's popping off. Is it? The shower's popping off. This is so good. The shower's popping off. Fletch, you've hijacked me. I'm looking for TV recommendations. I mean, like

what am I going to watch next? My shower, the tiles just won't clean the hard. If someone sees baking soda, I'm going to punch them. Dude, baking soda has been a- Baking soda doesn't work either. Okay. So wait, we- If someone sees baking soda, I'm going to punch them.

Are we shelving TV shows to concentrate on shower? Look, TV shows aren't going anywhere. Okay, well, how are they? I opened up the text machine. There was a couple of good TV show recommendations. I think we can do both. There's no rule saying we can't do just one. This is actually our show.

Just one. This is for Jordan Haley. No, no, no. The rules of radio state that the listeners are dum-dums who can't concentrate on two things at once. We're constantly told this by consultants. We've got very intelligent listeners. No, no, no. They're a pack of dick-haired dum-dumbs who can't concentrate on two things at once. We're constantly told this by consultants. We've got very intelligent listeners. No, no, no.

They're a pack of dick-haired dumb-dumbs, apparently. Vaughn, I think we're going to run two at once. Chill. Wait. Chill. Hold on. Excuse me just a minute, listener. I need to talk to Fletch and Hayley.

These morons aren't going to be able to keep up. No, they are. They are. I believe in them. Absolute thickos. We've got to trust them, okay? Yeah. Because the consultant keeps saying how dumb they are

no no they're not but we're going at the moment at the moment with these dumbos it's text for text it's shower

movie shower TV no I will just I will just tank away from my shower tiles and say that I've just finished I've just finished

the pit on neon which is and I've got Vaughn onto this it just finished on Friday oh my god what's the pit I have I mean I've just finished The Pit on Neon, which is, and I've got Vaughn onto this. It just finished on Friday. Oh my God. What's The Pit?

I mean, I've always had so much respect for our nurses and doctors and hospital staff. I know, but you always suggest such serious stuff. I'm not usually a medical drama dude. It's so good. But The Pit is so good. Oh my God. It's got sexy all around.

I want comedy. I want like sexy comedy. Come on. There's got sexy all around. I want comedy. I want, like, sexy comedy. Come on. There's some lightheartedness in this. Yeah. And also, Last of Us is starting. Is that starting today? Is it?

Season two. Today. Oh, God, I'm excited for that, too. Okay, so Janola with Jif. Okay, so they're saying a bleach. Handy Andy with a scrub daddy for shower spots. Go hard, concentrate on a light scrub, and you'll be sweet. No, but that's going to – I've got a porous stone tile.

I don't have to. He has a porous stone tile and it's a dark porous stone. We've got to stop getting tiles on aesthetic value. We've got to concentrate on practicality. If I could go back in time, Vaughn. If I could turn back time. Yeah, I'd just get a white subway tile like everybody else. I wish I did too, honestly.

Right. Nothing worse than a porous tile. Back to TV shows. If you really want to clean. Someone said the rookie. Yeah, my kids love the rookie. The rookie's great. The rookie's so good.

Somebody said, if you really want to clean your shower, you should watch Preacher. It's a great show. Now, it's a prime example of a dumb. I'm not going to concentrate on two things at once. That's text of the week for me. That things at once. That's text of the week for me. That's really funny. That's text of the week.

I'm giving that text of the week thanks to Animates, making happy, happy for pets. You're taking another thing up in this break? This is a bloody fruit salad of rates. Sorry, dear listeners that can't keep up. Okay. Dying for Sex on Disney Plus is really good. Michelle Williams, eh? You can't go wrong with Michelle Williams. I saw a list of the best TV shows of the year so far, Okay. Dying for Sex on Disney Plus is really good. That's on my list.

You can't go wrong with Michelle Williams. I saw a list of the best TV shows of the year so far, and that was on it. Toothpaste. Are you guys watching Love on the Spectrum? Because I started. No, I'm saving that. I thought Love was dead.

Emotionally, I'm not in the space for Love on the Spectrum at the moment. So Love on the Spectrum is alive. Love as a whole is dead. Okay. All right. Toothpaste and baking soda on a half a lemon for the shower. Oh, for fuck's sake. What am I doing?

A cooking show in my shower? Oh, as if he's doing that. I wouldn't try that, though. He's got his bloody fairy little body wash. I've got to know. I've run out of that. But I've got a scrub daddy, so maybe I'll use that. Scrub Daddy.

Ginola with Jeff. But that's just bleaching a porous grey tile, Hayley. I know. I know. I'm not, hey, I'm not recommending it. I know you've got a porous dark tile. You know? Dark tiles.

Have the listeners understood I've got a porous dark tile? They have understood. Use CLR on your tiles. Are they aware of how porous it is, Vaughn? Are they aware of the porosity? I had thought about the CLR product. Yeah. I remember seeing it.

Have you got some? Because it's like 80 bucks. It's expensive. Yeah, I didn't want to buy it and then it didn't work. Back to TV shows. Okay, one on the TV show, Good American Family on Disney+. Have you seen the trailer for that? No.

It's this family adopt. It's Meredith from Meredith's Anatomy. Yeah. It's her. Meredith's Anatomy. It was her show, Hayley. It was her show. Yes, you're right.

It's her. By the way, I will say the pit that I've just finished is nothing like that trash. It's way better than Grey's Anatomy. If you're expecting, yeah, if you're a Grey's Anatomy fan, I don't think the pit's for you. It's early AR vibes. Good American Family, they adopt this girl,

and it turns out she's an adult that just looks like a girl. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, with the boar. No, there's no glass. There's another glass. Tell that listener there's no glass. This is the problem that I've been bombarded with topics. I told you the consultant said that dumb dumb. It's porous dark tile. Yeah. Have you tried

normal dishwashing liquid? Oh, in the shower. In a scrub daddy. In a scrub daddy. See, I'd do that. Okay, give that a hint. I'll try that. Give that a hint. 1923 is the best TV show scrub daddy. See, I'd do that. Okay, give that a hint. I'll try that. 1923 is the best TV show

ever. Only two seasons, but so good. Oh, let me put a plug in for Landman. But by the same guy. Mirror of Kingston, also recommended. That's a great show. That's by the same guy as well. Back to the shower. Someone said paint it. Just paint the shower. Paint over the poorest

tile. The poorest tile is where you've gone wrong. They say paint over a tile. What is this, a moron? Painting over a porous dark tile? Barkeeper's friend with a scrub daddy. Heavy duty tile and grout cleaner from Aquamix. Write that down. That's a solid recommendation.

That sounds expensive, doesn't it? Tiger's Paw wet and fair. Is Tiger's Paw the one we've got? Tiger's paw. Is that a TV show or a cleaner? No, that's cleaner. Tiger balm. That's a cleaner.

Right. I've got tiger balm. I don't have any tiger's paw. Yellow jacket. Someone said yellow jacket. Yellow jacket. And just scrub that in to the tile. Yeah.

That's a jiff. That's lemon jiff. Otherwise known as yellow jackets. Lemon jiff. I think this was a great start to a brand new feature. I think it's great. It's Lemon Jeff, otherwise known as Yellow Jackets. Lemon Jeff. I think this was a great start to a brand new feature. I think it's great. It was confused. We gave two topics, wildly different,

and at the same time sent recommendations on them both. I love that. Yes, two things at once. I love it. I am both overwhelmed and overstimulated. It's too much happening at once. This is why the radio consultants say you should do one thing at a time, guys. No way.

Yeah, they do. From now on, we take two things and we're like, Bob, what's your suggestion? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I'm very excited about this. So there is a new bookstore that's opened in Remuera in Auckland. It's called Enamid Books and it is exclusively stocking

romance books. Now you'll know that producer Carwen and I, we love our smart, we love our romance. And Ruby, you're in the studio with the boys this morning to talk to us about the store and like how did this all

come about for you? So I am someone who pretty much exclusively reads romance books myself. I just absolutely love them and it's so hard getting them here in New Zealand. So I really wanted to create a space for all the romance girlies that they could just come and get a great range of books. So Ruby, I totally agree with this because you know like book talk is huge, right? Like everyone recommends these books, but you can never get them in New Zealand. So is that what you're doing now?

You're going like, we're gonna be the stockists. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm trying to bring some in from overseas as well that you always hear all of like the book top girlies from America and stuff talking about that they can get. I really want to get all of them here because a lot of them are actually the spiciest books. And it's not fun missing out on those ones

when they're the absolute best. Did this come about because it was just weird being horny at Wickhalls? Yeah. In front of Joan's Packs. Yeah, Joan's Packs were wafers and were boring white bread. Give me that hot sauce. I know.

Joan thought she was spicy being like fourth wing and us like actual smart girls were like, okay, Joan. Yeah, Joan, choke me. You know, that sort of thing. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. People are welcome to ask for all of those books at Anamant. Love those chats during the day.

So tell me, do we have, because to get movies into New Zealand or TV shows, they have to go through our chief censor, don't they? Do books, is there any book that's too spicy that the chief censor's like, oh, hold on. Hold that. No, well, we don't have any books that I would say are too spicy. I think the ones that are too spicy are perfect for an Emmett. They're the ones that everyone loves. They're the ones that

flew out the door the quickest on Saturday. Really? Yeah. So you opened two days ago, right? Two days ago you opened. Yeah, we opened on Saturday and had a nice big celebration which was so much fun. I want to know, with your bookstore,

like who's coming in and buying the spiciest stuff? This has been the most interesting thing. So I thought it would be mostly the Gen Z millennial girlies that we would see through the doors. Oh, no, no. Absolutely not. You're in Bremuetta. I was assuming it's rich, old, bored white woman.

Yeah, we have a lot of 70-year-old women who are so excited about revisiting the Mills and Boone's days. We have women from the retirement villages around us booking in book clubs. Oh, so good, Ruby. So they can come and see all the books. So it's just been a wonderful time seeing everyone who's excited. Horny nannies.

Yep, and they know the books that they're after and that they want. They're not new to this. Wow. So, yeah. Horny Nannies. Amazing. And they know the books that they're after and that they want. They're not new to this. Wow. So, yeah. Rebek, can I ask you, as a smart romance girlie, what would be your three desert island books? Three books is a very tall ask, I have to say. It's very hard to narrow it down to three.

No, just three. That's all you have. It's a desert island, Ruby. Well, I'm going to probably have a series. Can that count as one of them? As the Twisted Live series. Are we allowed to take a pocket knife or a cooker? No.

Okay, Fletch, stay out of this with your non-sexy content, please. Also, yes, Ruby, the Twisted series, I love. Absolutely incredible. It's one of my favourite series. Is that about the game? Is Anna Huang? Yeah. Is that about the game you put the mat on the thing

and you spin the dial and it's like right for the eye? Vaughan, shut up. Ruby, your next one? My next one is The Roommate, which is about a gal who moves in unknowknowingly with um an adult film star um so that's a lovely one there um and then the other one is actually more of like a non-fiction book um but it's about this woman called lucy ann holmes who goes on a bit of a journey because she realizes her um adult fun time isn't quite giving so she decides to go on a bit

of a journey and experiences writes a list of all these experiences she wants absolutely hilarious and such a fun book to read okay so those would be my top three you have just found such a great hole in the market I can't think of a better word. I can. Gap in the market. Okay, gap. Yeah, thank you. I was like... You've got to link a hole in the market. Jesus Christ. But I just think, like, we're loving these books, right?

As women, we're just... I just read them endlessly. They take you away from your daily life. You get an escape for a bit. You can have a bit of fun. And I just think it's absolutely amazing. I mean, they're the most fun ones to read, my opinion.

Can I ask you, what would you say, as the owner of the bookstore, is the wildest book you have in store? It's hard to, I would say it's hard to narrow that one down. We actually just got in a whole lot of filthy books that have come from overseas really, but I would say it's hard to narrow that one down. We actually just got in a whole lot of filthy books

that have come from overseas, really. But I would say I've heard there are some pretty wild moments in Haunting Adeline. Oh, but I've read it. We have that whole series. I've read the whole series. Oh, yeah? Of course you have.

Wonderful. Yeah, there's a moment with, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's quite full on. Yeah. Quite full on. Yeah, there's a moment with, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's quite full on. Yeah. Quite full on. Yeah. What would you say? Because I know, you know, there's the mafia stuff,

there's the sports stuff, there's the fantasy stuff. Like what are the biggest genres that you're seeing coming through in the world of like smart and romance? Usually I would say the romantic stuff. That's pretty popular. Romanticity. So that's romantic fantasy. Yeah.

Elves and. Oh, you're a clever boy, Vaughn. I played Dungeons and Dragons and everyone's ragged on it for years. You should start with a bit of romanticity then. Why not? Yeah. Right up your alley. Get your leggings on.

Ruby just looked me in the eye and I got scared. But one of the other ones that I was, I think it was the dark romance that was actually the most popular on Saturday. That was the one where we started selling out of titles first. So there you go. Dark romance. Yeah. So lots of morally grey characters and taboo topics.

Okay. Yeah. Oh, my God. Now, listen, I've read The Ritual. If Ruby just came and said, I work at a bookstore, I would be like, okay, she's got a bookstore energy. Yeah. You've got a pendant and a lovely pink jersey on

and then she's got all this dark, dark energy on board. She is providing for the masses. No, I can't agree more. And we thank her. It's fantastic. Ruby, can I ask you one more question before we have to let you go but um are audio books reading absolutely um I would say book is in in the name so to me that's uh

audio books is reading yeah no so Fletch actually doesn't read right ever um but he listens to audio books and podcasts and he always says audiobooks is reading. It's reading in my ears. My ears are reading the book. And you're still consuming the same content, just in a different way. Exactly. Thank you. Ruby Wallace, thank you so much for coming on the show. Enamored Bookstore is

open now in Rimiweta in Auckland. 346 Rimiweta Road. Yeah, man. Honestly, I cannot wait to visit and just can't wait to have you there. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Okay. This morning, we want to know how fast did you move in a relationship?

Because we've got to talk about Jackie and Clint on Married at First Sight. Oh, we've just got to. Everybody's been saying, Fawn, what are your thoughts on Jackie and Clint on Married at First Sight? What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on Jackie and Clint? You know what I've always said about Jackie and Clint? What have you said?

A classic mismatch of a tooth in a marshmallow. That's right. A couple of real tight cookies. But what do you think about the fact that they weren't actually partnered together as a married couple? It's like I've always said, some of the best things in life aren't meant to be partnered together. Love will find a way, Vaughn. Apricot and chicken, for example.

Weird, but delicious. Yeah. Okay, great. Really well played there. Love, like life. We'll find a way. Okay, I'm going to fill you in real quick. Jackie was with another husband. Please, yep. Clint was with another bride. Yep.

They left the show. They did not go with their respective matched partners. Okay. In between the ending of the show and the reunion, Clint and Jackie got together at the watching party for the reunion he proposed to her. He is moving her into his house.

They're getting married. It's all moving very fast. How do you keep up with these complicated storylines? I know. Okay, that is quick. Yeah, very, very quick. How long have they been together behind the scenes? Six weeks.

What? Okay, that's how old are these people? There would definitely be people that have moved in before six weeks. You know, like someone that comes over and then they just never leave. I know people that have done this who are like, I had a one-night stand. I woke up in the morning. I looked him in the eye.

I realized he was my soulmate. We got married the next week. I know a person that did this. And I'm like, huh? You don't even know if he like clips his toenails or like can cook or is a good partner at all. I guess you'll find that out along the way, won't you? Oh yeah, that sounds fun.

Love is dead. Anyway, this is what I want to know this morning is how fast did you move in a relationship? Maybe it was moving in. Maybe it was getting married. Maybe it was having kids. Maybe it was a joint purchase. Maybe after the first date, they put you on the car insurance. Give you a house key.

Oh, yeah. Gave you a pin number for the bloody EF postcard. Oh, yeah. I don't know. No, that's a bad idea. At least wait a few months. Yeah. Yeah, pin number for the bloody EFBOS card. Oh, yeah. I don't know. No, that's a bad idea. At least wait a few months. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, 0800 dials. That is the number. Give us a call. You can text through 9696. We want to know this morning, how fast did you move in a relationship? Because Jackie and Clint from Maths, they've got together.

They're getting engaged. They're all moving in together and it's just moving very quickly. And it's been what, about six weeks for them? It's been like six weeks and they weren't even paired together. They weren't even supposed to be getting married. Jessica, how fast did you move in? We were literally only dating for about three months before he moved in. And by six months, I had met his entire family and he was saying that I was going to be the one that he proposed to.

Oh, well, if you know, you know. Well, wait, hang on, though. Did it work out? So we've been together for three years now. So I would say it's definitely worked out. But are you married? No, not yet. Finances and being

with a child as well has kind of set us behind the times. Okay. But we haven't been that far. Okay, I'm just saying there's a lot of talk early on about this proposal

that hasn't come yet. Oh, yes. Also, love is dead, you know. It's either on the spectrum or dead. There's no in between. Jessica. That's cute. Yeah, that's cute.

Thank you. That's really cute. Don't eat with your mouth. Don't talk with your mouth full. I've got lovely fresh raspberries here, Fletch. Okay. And so I shall be enjoying them. You know I love fresh raspberries.

Stop. I know you do. That's why I'm eating them. Dania, how quick did you move in? A week. A week? A week. And did it work out? So we've been together four years and we get married

in January and we have almost a two-year-old boy together. See, Hayley, love isn't dead. Love is alive. No, love is dead, but this is cute. Moving at a hell of a pace. A week, though. Love is very much alive. So you knew just straight away? Yeah.

So we both lived with our parents. I was out of a 12-year marriage. Yep. And we kind of met through school. I saw his ex yelling at him in front of the school. Wow. That was the most insane thing I've heard I saw him and his kids having a full blown

Screaming match in front of their child's school Healthy Yeah I know I took the opportunity He now calls me the grasshopper And I slipped him a message Just to see if he was alright And it kind of all went from there

I got a house I got a house Ask I got a house. Asked him to help me move in, and then he never left. Wow. I love that. After a week. Insane. Love it.

Dania, thank you. All right, keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DARS at M. We want to know how fast did things move in the relationship? Because Jackie and Clint from Mavs, they're just moving too fast. It's so much. They weren't even matched together and now they're getting married and like moving into each other's houses and stuff.

It's too much. Some messages in on people moving at a rate of knots. We moved in together before we actually even started dating. It was a new flatmate. We'd become really good friends. We were living together. Then my ex and I broke up and he'd just come out of a toxic three-year relationship. Boom for bam for. Good timing. It's happening. Good'd become really good friends. We were living together. Then my ex and I broke up and he'd just come out of a toxic three year relationship.

Boom for bam for. Good timing. It's happening. Good timing. It's on. Three months after we met, I moved in. 22 years later, got two kids. From two weeks, we were in the same house every night for three months and moved in together. 27 years later, still together with kids. Not married.

Don't want to. Within the first year, we moved cities together. Then I went and lived overseas for a year. He traveled before meeting me. We stayed together Don't want to. Within the first year, we moved cities together. Then I went and lived overseas for a year. He traveled before meeting me. We stayed together while I was overseas. See, Hayley, love is not dead. No love is dead. I met four weeks before I went to the UK.

Six weeks later, we were apart longer than we'd known each other. That's an interesting way of looking at it. He'd moved to the UK, moved in, and now we've been married 24 years. Moved in after two months, been married for six years. Met his daughter on the first date. She was four and I was only 19. We moved in together about two months later. We've been together 10 years and added two more kids.

Nothing like going all in. Moved in two days after meeting in person, but we've been talking for a month. Two days after meeting? and then you're like scraping their poop scrapes off the side of the toilet. I don't know. I would hope everyone's responsible for their own poop scrapes. You're responsible for your

own poop scrapes. But some people don't. Yeah, Fletch, you would think that you would be responsible for your own poop scrapes. Wow, turns out love is dead then. Love is dead. Got my girlfriend pregnant within the first two weeks of meeting each other. Now happily married for 15 years. Wow.

Yeah. First six months, my partner and I moved together, opened a joint bank account, got pregnant with our firstborn and engaged. Five years engaged now. Good God. But no marriage? No. Love is dead.

First date went so well I didn't leave. Six years later we're engaged and homeowners. Well, I tell you what's not dead, mortgages. They are alive and alive. They live forevermore. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Guys, I've got a pimple on the inside of my nose.

You know, one of those like right in the hole. Worst place to get one. Oh my God, what a curse. Anyway, that's a side thought from what I want to talk about. Yesterday, I haven't been out at all. I've been in Melbourne for a week and I just have not gone anywhere because I've been working and da-da-da-da. And yesterday my mum called me and she said, you sound like a miserable bitch. And I said. Patsy is keeping it real and that's what I love about Patsy.

Yeah, yeah. She's not going to lie to you. Good, you don't need that. And so she said to me, get out of the apartment and go and get yourself some lunch and get into the sun. It was 30 degrees in Melbourne yesterday. Wow. And yeah, warm, warm, warm. So I was like, you know what, I will.

I went just across the road to a place and there were all these lovely like Italian restaurants. And I thought, you know, grazie mille. I will have a bit of an Italian date with myself. I turn up on my own and I say to the waiter who's there, like an old guy, hey, just a table for one for lunch. He puts me on a table. I reckon, I reckon five times I had to say to the waitstaff,

yes, just me, I'm all by myself. No, no husband is coming. I'm all alone today. Yep, I'm just having lunch for one. No, no one else is coming to share this food with me. This is just for me. Like, they could not believe it. And I, to be fair.

What, they haven't seen someone dining alone? Or did Melbourne people just not dine alone? I don't know. This is what I was trying to figure out. I was looking around the restaurant being like, is no one else just having a bit of bloody lunch on their own? I mean, it didn't help that I. No, it's because you're so good looking.

It's impossible for them to comprehend The fact that you're not being like Swooned or someone else isn't paying For everything That's it I hadn't even thought of that People as good looking as you are Tend not to have to look after themselves

Because everybody's falling over themselves Oh my god I thought he was insinuating That I was a sad gal You know that I was I thought he was insinuating that I was a sad gal, you know, that I was sort of lonely. Of course it's that I was so attractive. Yes. Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

This makes sense because when I ordered, because I ordered an Aperol Spritz and a glass of Pennegrigio. At the same time, you didn't wait until he finished one to start the other? I didn't wait. I just ordered it all at once. I don't hate it. Sometimes I'll order two beers and then they'll see me go

and sit at a table by myself and drink both. Sometimes you walk it back up there. Yeah, especially when it's busy. Yeah. I know. It was so busy. And I was like, I want an Aperol Spritz to start and I want a Pinot Grigio with lunch.

So I was like, I'll just do that. And then I ordered two. And they definitely put them like one in front of me, one in front of the empty chair. Well, I can see that caused some confusion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But oh my God. Vaughn, you've really broken it down for me. Thank you

so much. I don't quite understand. He kept saying like, nobody else. Like he would like come and take the glass away like, nobody else. And I was like, nope. All alone. Yeah, that would be really hard for him to understand, given that you're so attractive. Smoking hot smoke.

So attractive. Yeah, so attractive. Oh, my God. Well, thank you, guys. Thank you. I just wanted to chat about this, but you've really given me clarity. Next on the show, this is a great, this would be great at a birthday or anywhere that you need to bring a gift.

Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Guys, I found this exclusively on my own. She didn't. I did. And I sent it to Fletch and Vaughn on Instagram saying, this is great. We should talk about this on radio. Yeah, dad. And everyone was like, oh my God, Hayley.

Like you have found hot content, Hayley. Yeah, even though Vaughn had literally found the video an hour before you. But anyway, it's a great idea. I didn't see that. Okay, 8.20. I found it content, Hayley. Yeah, even though Vaughn had literally found the video an hour before you. But anyway, it's a great idea. I didn't see that. Okay, 8.20, I found it in the group chat. 8.20 a.m. I sent it to... It's embarrassing that you're going into the details, Vaughn.

It's embarrassing for you. What did I send it to you guys on? Facebook. I didn't read that. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. So here's the thing.

There was a woman who shared online that she had a birthday party, right? Mid-30s or whatever. Yeah. And instead of people bringing gifts or even bringing a plate, all she asked is that they brought a juicy piece of gossip. How good? The video of everyone being like,

what? Like gathering around. You can't hear the gossip being said, but the faces of people like just, you know when you're telling a story and people are just enthralled. Yes. Oh my God, so good. Don't you think this would be amazing like for all birthdays moving forward being like, hey guys

in lieu of gifts or money or anything like that, please bring me a great piece of gossip. You could do it at a wedding. Like, if I got married and I'd be like, hey, guys, no gifts. We've got everything. But please come with a big, fat, juicy bit of gossip. You could even set up at your birthday or wedding like a little confessional where you sit in the booth.

Oh, now we're talking. And they just sit down next to you and tell you through the wall. Oh my God, and you just receive it. Yes. Talking. Those Catholic priests, they're gossipy little bitches. They love getting in that box and hearing about everybody's sins. But what if you don't

have goss and you go into someone's birthday? But you do. Like, think now, Fletch. Like, I know you think that you don't have goss, but you could think right back. You could go right back to childhood and be like, oh my god. When I was young, da da da da da.

Right. It could be from any, even if it doesn't, the people don't know who you're gossiping about. It just has to be juicy goss. And also, like, you've got to put in the effort to get something about the person. Yeah. Totally agree. Like, the juicier the gossip, the better. It's got to put in the effort to get something about the person. Yeah. Also know them. Yeah.

Totally agree. Like the juicier the gossip, the better. It's got to be a bit of mutual friend that couldn't make it. Yes. Oh, you've always, yeah. I mean, yeah. But it's not like females would turn on the female that's not there. No.

Oh, we would never do that. Never do that. That's crazy. They would never. A la White Lotus. A la White Lotus. That White Lotus storyline this season about the three women and the minute one's not there, they turn on them, couldn't have been more realistic if he had tried.

It was insane how that was just holding a mirror up to women, specifically of that age, and some women didn't like it. No, they didn't. They didn't like it. Yeah, because we feel seen and reflected. And we're like, I'm sorry. Please stop this now. Fact of the day is next, what's the theme or the short week ahead of Easter?

Redheads. Oh, gingers. Oh, Hayley. What? We've got nothing but love. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. Four. Cop-a-top chumps some. For a Cop-a-Top Chumps. Cop-a-Top Chumps is a compliment.

Cop-a-Top Chumps is a compliment. I love redheads. You know this. I love redheads. I waited the Trump hands when I said it. No one loves redheads like me. Please. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

FACT OF THE DAY FACT OF THE DAY FACT OF THE DAY Sarah, I'm just looking through my DMs. I'm very popular. I get hundreds a day. Hundreds a day. I do remember her name was Sarah, though. Wait. No. Has she sent you a fact? No, her name was Meg.

That's weird. I thought it was Sarah because for a while there, I thought I was talking to my second cousin. Okay. Who just got married and changed her last name. Sarah and Meg aren't even like close names. No, very popular names in the 80s. She said, do you take suggestions for fact of the day themes?

Oh, yeah. And I said, if it's a good one, absolutely. Okay. Saves me trying to find a theme and then trying to find five facts for that theme. I thought we were going to do Easter eggs or something or Easter related. Yeah. Oh, did you? Well, nothing says happy Easter like redheads.

Okay. Or ginger compatriots. Yeah. Because she said, yeah, I think you should do a redhead week. I said, that's actually a really interesting idea. And she sent through some facts about people with red hair. Okay. And we will be covering them over the course of the week.

But I thought we could start with the fact of why do we call people redheads when their hair isn't really red? It's orange. Yeah? It's orange. Yeah. It's orange. Well, the term redhead actually goes back to the 16th century, the 1500s in England, as when they started getting called redheads, and that is because the word orange was not

yet invented. So you couldn't call someone Fanta pants either because there was no Fanta. And no one wore pants. And no one wore pants. Oh my god, I have not heard Fanta pants either because there was no Fanta. And no one wore pants. And no one wore pants. Oh my god, I have not heard Fanta pants. I was actually hoping to use this entire week of facts

as sort of to support our beautiful auburn haired friends. Our strawberry blondes. I have nothing but support the strawberry blonde. I love gender. Oh my God, I love candy pans. It is so sexy. It's so sexy.

It's so sexy. It's sexy. It's so sexy. Only 2% of the world read it. These are some of the facts I've found out. But the term orange, the colour orange didn't exist because red kind of covered a bigger spectrum of colours because orange comes from the fruit,

which wasn't well knownknown or well-spread throughout the time in Europe, but it established itself. And that is when they're like, this is an orange. And they're like, it's an interesting colour. I would have called that red before, but now it's so orange.

I'm going to start calling things orange after that fruit that you've just given me. So oranges made the word popular. Yeah. Oranges made the word orange. The colour orange didn't have a name. Well, you just cannot buy that kind of marketing. You can't.

You can't, actually. That is so successful. You can see why Dalton took the America's Cup to Valencia, can't you? Because of the delicious oranges. Is that where they started, oranges? That's where they got introduced? Well, in that area, the Mediterranean area, because, of course, its climate was perfect for growing oranges.

But by that time that the orange came in they could hold it next to the hair of a person with orange hair and be like a ganger

it's just excuse me it's just that we already call you redheads it would be weird to call you orange heads now rather than redhead

but they so they stuck with red fascinating isn't it so redhead stuck through hundreds of years and just worked its way in there. And ginger, so in the UK, parts of Australia and New Zealand,

ginger is used as well, and they think that comes from the colour of the ground ginger root, but that's more golden orange than red, isn't it? Yeah, it is. But ginger is a term for redheads around the world as well. Amazing. But some other terms For our redheaded compatriots

Ginger minge Oh Hayley Hayley I'm so upset you did I can't believe you just said that This is supposed to be a supportive We've established A ginger with green eyes.

Oh, yeah. Hot, hot, hot, hot. Won't be beaten. You know I love the Irish. The Irish and the Scottish up there in the Highlands. So I've never heard the Australian, Australians call people with orange hair blueys. Blueys?

Blueys. Why? Apparently completely ironic because orange and blue are the different opposite colours. So it's like calling a tall guy shorty. You know Australians do weird stuff like that? Yeah, they're about that. Yeah.

So that's today's intro fact for Fact of the Day Ginger Week is that we call people with ginger hair redheads because when the term was invented, the term orange didn't exist yet. Fact of the day day, day, day, day.

Yeah. Thank you to people who have positively supported Fact of the Day fame this week. Okay. Redheads all this week. Yes. And Hayley, you've got to be careful what you say. Yes. Hayley apologises.

Don't say that anymore. Hayley. Sorry, what? Yeah. We're supporting. We're not bringing, we're. Sorry, what? Yeah. We're supporting. We're not bringing... We're not resurfacing trauma. Oh, okay.

Now, there's a new TV show. Fire crotch. It's... Oh, Hayley. Sorry. The Life List is the name of it, and it's on Netflix. And it's a show where from...

I haven't watched, but I've read that it's causing a lot of relationships that just maybe that we're on the way out to have their life support unplugged at the wall and then that alarm that always goes off. It's a film, not a TV show. Oh, is it a film? Yeah, a film, it's a film.

I thought it was a limited series. It's a romance. So it's romance because this girl's like just assuming she's going to take over the family business and her mum's dying and her mum's like, no. And here's a letter you wrote yourself when you were 13, go and do it. And the loser boyfriend's like, don't's a letter you wrote yourself when you were 13 go and do it and the loser boyfriend's like don't do that

and so the loser boyfriend gets kicked to the curb and it's making all these people be like ah my life would be perfect if it wasn't for him it's all his fault and breaking up with their partners and it's like we very much remember the book and then

the subsequent movie film. Oh, my God. He's Just Not That Into You. Yeah. Where a whole bunch of guys who were just trying not to rock the boat. They were just living their life. They were just chill dudes, chill guys. Got dragged into it.

And, you know, their partners wanted to argue with them because they saw this movie and then drew correlations between themselves and their life. But, I mean, it did make people kind of re-evaluate. And that was kind of, you know, if he's not putting in any effort or she is not putting in any effort, then fair enough. They're just not that into you.

They're just not that into you. And it was just a little kick in the ass they needed to call it when they were inevitably going to call it at some stage in the future anyway. Do you reckon like Eat, Pray, Love would be this as well, right? That everyone went I'm living my life and it's all going fine. I read this book and now

I'm going to blow it apart. I'm going to leave my partner. I'm going to move countries. I'm going to do this because I'm going to have that experience. That's what that movie, that was a movie and a book as well, right? It was, yeah. A real book? Like a woman who did it wrote about her

experiences and then Julia Roberts played her. Erin Brockovich in the movie. Is that right? No, not quite. Quite close. Pretty woman. Yeah, yeah, that's right. She was a prostitute. We want to know if there is a movie, a TV show or a book or something in the media landscape

that made you break up with your partner. What gave you the little push? There'll also be, do you reckon there'll be like really like glorified romantic men and then women watching be like, that's what I deserve. Yes. You know what I mean? Like Clark Kent.

You know what I mean? And then they turn around on the couch and it's just Gary sitting there in a singlet. Balls out. Balls out. You're watching Reacher with who, what's the actor? Alan Richardson. Alan Richardson. And then you turn over and you look at your

partner and he's there, balls out. Do you know what? Steve hasn't cleaned. You're like, Christ, Steve, put away your balls. He's like, it's hot. And Steve's that one of those guys that doesn't clean the skitties in the toilet. You can tell. No, he does not clean. She's like, I need a better man.

No one deserves a Steve. No one deserves balls out, Steve. Everyone deserves to go in Richardson. Chat in Richard. Give us a call. 0800-DARLS-AT-M. Text through 9696. The life list on Netflix is making people break up with their boyfriends because... Break up with your boyfriend.

I don't know. Life is just like a rom-com. Yeah, dude. Yeah. If you're not getting it, get on. Get it out. Great advice. What are you doing?

Awesome advice, man. Put that on a t-shirt. So we want to know, we want to know, is there a TV show, a book or a movie that made you break up with someone? Stephanie! Yes, yes, yes.

Stephanie. What? The movie was, Stephanie? The Breakup with Jennifer Aniston. Oh, dude. I think that movie so succinctly put the sort of situation a lot of people find themselves in.

That they've just been with that person so they think they're going to be with that person. Cannot get out of it. And it says, what is the one scene that made you be like, my relationship is over? The scene after they've had dinner with family and the child's cleaning the dishes. And it's like, I don't want you and she's cleaning the dishes. And it's like,

I don't want you to want to do the dishes. I want you to want to do the dishes to like help me. Like help me. Oh my God. He puts his feet up and he plays the PlayStation and she is just doing the dishes.

She's like, please. And she said, do you want to do the dishes? And his line is, no one wants to do the dishes. I want you to want to doing the dishes. She's like, please. She said, do you want to do the dishes? And his line is, no one wants to do the dishes. I want you to want to do the dishes. Do you want to do the dishes? Wow. And so that was it. You were like,

my relationship's done. Yeah, well, I, every time I've watched that movie, it just like brings up something inside of me that's so innately angry because, yeah, my ex was very much like, it's like if I cared about something or if I wanted something done but he didn't care about that thing, it wasn't a problem.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. Yeah, anyway. Anyway. Anyway. Anyway. Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. Yeah, anyway. Anyway. Anyway.

Girl, we could talk all day. Anyway. Anyway. Breathe, Stephanie. Let's do some breathing. So good. Thanks, Stephanie. A couple of messages.

I was reading a dystopian book and realised if the world was to end, I wouldn't want to be with my partner. I think that's facing the after time. That was a thing in lockdown and COVID. People were like, oh, I'm stuck with this person. Yes. You're like, I usually can get away from you. But now here we are trapped and I actually don't like you.

Somebody said, for me, it was Geordie Shore. I was in my prime and realized my partner wasn't into me like Gary was with Charlotte. Gary and Charlotte. Someone else has messaged him being like, I was going to hold my tongue, but I me like Gary was with Charlotte. Gary and Charlotte. Someone else has messaged him being like, I was going to hold my tongue, but I have got to agree with Stephanie. That movie absolutely fuelled my own breakup at the time, especially when he said he didn't want to do the dishes.

Oh, wow. Somebody said good girls. I don't know. Is there anybody familiar, Georgia Bird, of you? Good girls? I've heard of it. I don't know if I've seen it. When I realised that I didn't feel the way towards my partner like i did when rio said hey mommy

It's like P.S. I Love You, but from mom to daughter.

Oh, Georgia, how hard do you need to be hit? When I watched How To Be Single when it came out, and I remember being single is way more fun than it was being with a man child that I was with all the time, so that ended.

Wow. Jeepers. The A Court of Thorns and Roses, is that the? They've written the ACOTAR. ACOTAR book series made me seriously contemplate my life and whether I need to actually leave my partner for a 500-year-old fairy god, you know? Yeah, of course. Yeah.
