Yeah, dude has been burning that candle at both ends. And the middle. And the middle. There's a wick, somehow the wick's in the middle. In the middle. And the middle. There's a wick. There's a wick. Somehow the wick's in the middle. In the middle. And somewhere in the candle, three pounds of dynamite are hidden. Now, it's a big candle, but we blew out the flame and we said, let it rest because that dynamite goes off. Goodbye, candle.

Well, another chance for you to go in the draw for ZM's World Tour, the Island Edition. We've got some bad weather hitting the country tomorrow. Some cold, wet weather right in time for Easter. World Tour, the island edition. We've got some bad weather hitting the country tomorrow. Some cold, wet weather right in time for Easter. Yeah, there are going to be some cold. Cold spots. Down south's going to be cold, right?

Yeah, it is. I think up north's going to have a lot of rain. Stanky humidity. Yeah, a lot of rain. Yeah, it's going to be humid the next few days. But escape this weather and hit the islands. Now, Haley's Island, Hawaii, you can go in the draw for my island, Fiji, or Stewart Island, which we have been mocking you about.

I would love to go one day. The hiking there looks insane. You see some kiwi. The top six is on the way. Yeah, the top six possible titles for Lorde's new album. There's a lot of debate about what we're going to get when we get new Lorde. Popped up at Coachella at the weekend.

I'm going to be speculating. And to be honest, she might not have ever named it. I'm happy to send her these top six suggestions that she could absolutely take on board. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. A YouTuber has become quite famous. She is basically breaking down her life living on board full-time cruise ships.

Okay. Because I know for some people this is like a financially viable option. Yeah, it sounds like hell on earth, doesn't it? It sounds like accidentally putting on 100 kilograms. That's what I mean. Like, it's unlimited food, right? I mean, you're going to some of the nicest places in the world. Yeah.

And there's a gym on board. Yeah, true. There's a gym on board. Yeah, true. There's a gym on board. And you probably, if you were full-time buffet 365 days a year, the novelty machine would wear off. 100%. And you'd probably just stick to a plate of time. Yeah. Who knows? Not a giant pile of

Mickey Mouse shaped waffles that you take two bites out of and then I don't know what happens. So, this woman, Linnell, she runs the popular YouTube channel Poverty to Paradise and creates all the content. She's broken down how much it costs her and it's not as much as you think. And this is why a lot of people, instead of retiring or taking early retirement

and just living in a house on the land. Yeah, with ongoing costs. Yeah, they are costs. Yeah. They are hitting the seas and she is doing it. Her goal for $65 a day. So $2,000 a month. Now, her year to date, so she broke down four months. This is at the end of last year.

She was averaging just under $1,800 a month. Okay, so three and a half. The whole time sailing, there's a little bit of cost for like, maybe on the land she might need to have a bit of transportation and one or two hotels. Yeah. But mostly all of those months were at sea, $1,800 a month. So say three and a half. Divided by four

For sake of ease Well I was going to Times by 52 Okay times by 52 So 182 thousand dollars a year Is that right? No I timed it by 52

I should have times it by 12 Silly Vaughn You said a month right? You silly ghost yeah So 1800 dollars a month Times 12 42 thousand dollars a year

That's insane Someone's living on 42 thousand dollars a year And then divide insane. Someone's living on $42,000 a year. And then divide that by 32. 52 is like $810 a week. So that's food and rent. And it's no cost of fuel, car, insurance. No gym.

Entertainment's all on board. Yep. Go to a show. Yeah. Sounds good. Sounds good. And's all on board. Yep. Go to a show. Yeah. Sounds good. Sounds good. And they're cruising around the Caribbean. Yeah.

So the weather's going to be good. Occasionally, I mean, you know, there's hurricane season. Totally. But they tend to go different places. But yeah. Isn't that insane? How much has she got, like, in the bank? Well, she doesn't say that.

Because if she had enough in the bank in like a term deposit or something like investing wise, she could literally be earning money by spending so little. Yes. God damn it, she's clocked it. Well, there you go. She's put in the cheat code to lie. She really has. And you just cruises around the Caribbean.

Amazing. Do you reckon she'd get bored of the swimming pigs? She'd be like, everyone's like swimming pigs. So she's throwing them tomorrow and she's like, I've seen them so many times. Or would you just get bored of the swimming pigs? She'd be like, everyone's like, swimming pigs. Swimming pigs. Throwing them tomorrow. She's like, I've seen them so many times. Or would you just get bored of the, because I imagine you're just around people that are so happy because they're on holiday all the time. Yeah. And you're like, but you are on holiday too.

Yes. But you're not. No, your life is a holiday. Your life is a, I don't know how that would feel. Kind of feel like maybe you're working on the ship. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to have a job? Like something to concentrate on for a few hours a day, maybe? Yeah.

But if she's retired, she's done her hard yards. But if you could work from home. Well, there you go. I mean, probably cheaper than living in some of the big cities here. Dude, why cheaper? Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn 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. Do you eat three meals a day?

Yes. We ask you this. It's the standard, isn't it? What's the science behind it? Yeah, well, there isn't really any. It's a mix of when the Industrial Revolution happened and we all started working in factories and had work days. So we'd have a break in the middle.

You'd want to eat before you left home. Yeah. And then you'd have, I guess, lunch in the middle of your day and then you'd eat when you got home. Right. Because you were so knackered. Right. Whereas before that...

Except for Spanish. Yeah, we just ate whenever. Yeah. Eat on the go. Do you eat three meals a day? 66% of people said yes. 34% of people said no. Those people that can skip breakfast, I'm always in awe because that's not me. I have to eat, like

I eat when I get to work at five o'clock. You're a regular eater. Otherwise I'll get handy. He gets very grumpy. He gets very grumpy. He gets grumpy. So some people will give us some feedback. Jack said, yeah, sometimes four or five when we're on the bowl. Oh, okay. Jeez, Jack. Jeez. Jeez, Jack. Getting them calories.

Protein farts. Sam said, Fletcher will hate this, but breakfast and lunch make me feel sick. I only eat dinner. I did have that. I would hate that. That's wild, Sam. Breakfast and lunch make you feel sick? What powers you through your day?

God, I wish I didn't need that much food. I wish I didn't need dinner. I wish I could skip dinner. Because by the end of the day, sometimes I'm like, who can be bothered? Who can be bothered, yeah. But I quite like a lunch on the go. Yeah. Breakfast is routine.

Sometimes if it's a weekend and I have a big eggs or something, I won't have much for lunch. Yeah, I skip lunch. Yeah. Sometimes if you get busy. Rasheen says, haven't eaten solid food in over a year. Ask me anything. Okay, what? What happened?

That's my first question. Like, have you got your mouth wired shut and you have to eat food through a straw? I don't know. I'm just going to, I've got the username here. I'm not going to say it out loud, but I am going to go. He's doing a light stalk. I'm just doing a light stalk in case maybe in the profile there's a breakdown of it. Unable to eat solid foods because of nothing. God, I know my brain's just not functioning.

It's not that entertaining listening to you kind of look at someone's Facebook profile. No, no, no. It's terrible. It's terrible. Yeah. No, no, nothing on the profile there. Tell me why.

Maybe, Rasheen, if you could just let us know why you haven't eaten solid food for a year. We could follow that up tomorrow on Cellular Little Pole, actually.

Could do. Why they're not eating. Woman need breakfast, said Hannah. Yeah. There she is. There's someone talking some common sense.

I sit on my ass on a computer all day, said Sophie. Lunch feels unnecessary, plus I reckon I do better on it. Gives my slow digestion time to process all the foods that I shouldn't be eating. Okay, fair enough. Charlene says breakfast, grazing snacky snacks, and then dinner. Okay.

So she's a day grazer. A day grazer. Yeah, she's a day grazer. But breakfast grazer. Yeah, she's a day grazer. But breakfast and she'll book in the day with some proper meals. Three meals and snacks, said Jen. Yep. Sam said, I probably eat about five if we've been completely honest. No, three is not enough. Are you kidding me, says Kendall.

Six total. I have a 5 a.m. early breakfast, 8 a.m. second breakfast. Oh, okay. 11 a.m. first lunch, between two and three second lunch, six to seven dinner, 9 p. breakfast. Oh, okay. 11am first lunch, between 2 and 3 second lunch, 6 to 7 dinner, 9pm supper before bed. Oh, okay, wow. And I feel free to sprinkle snacks throughout.

It must be very active. That must be. I mean, you're up at 5, you're working hard, you need the food. It must be. Kevin said, no, I ate one, and it doesn't stop. It's an 8 to 8 endless cycle of eating. A day-long cycle. Yeah. There you go. Silly little pal.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Haley. Okay, so we turn to TikTok, the holy grail for people who don't know what's going on. Okay. And they're just trying it all. So there's a new focus. Women in their 30s are becoming a celebrated trend on TikTok.

Because, I don't know, do you remember when women in your life turned 30 and it was like a whole thing? I guess so, yeah. Yeah. And then 40 is another whole thing? Yep. And I'm guessing 50 and 60 is a whole thing? 50 and 60 are probably going to be another whole thing.

Yep. So instead of like fearing it, and we turn now to two girlies who on the horizon can see 30. No, no, no. So far away from 30. Ah, yeah. Do you know it goes so fast? I'm just saying it goes so fast. How old are you?

27. Nearly 27, yeah. Nearly 27. And Shannon, you're 25. Yeah, nearly 26. You think about in another COVID, like if you use this as the pivotal point and go back to the start of COVID,

you're 30 now. Stop it. Both of you. Don't even say the C word on radio. Yeah, COVID or 30. That doesn't start with C. But are you worried about 30? Nah, I think that 30 is now becoming

quite like an exciting time to look forward to. Like this trend is highlighting the fact that when you get into your 30s, you're a bit more self-assured. You're probably in a bit of a career more than you are in your 20s. You've got the friends that you know are going to stick around. You don't have as much drama. And you've probably got a little bit more money as well.

Yeah. I'd say that would be, yeah, almost the 30s. Yeah. And then 40 just blindsides you. Yeah, totally. Around the head too. Definitely being sent off for a high tackle. Do you think 30s are the best years though, Vaughn, looking back?

30s went real fast when I look back on it. Busy decade because I started at, Indy was born, my oldest daughter was born two weeks before I turned 30. And so 30 started in a spin and then yeah and then I was 40 before I knew it it was a real quick decade

you're not selling this I am not here for this good though I can imagine Carwen being like the best 30 year old

like Carwen is the epitome of someone who's gonna thrive I'm out what do you mean you're out I don't wanna turn 30 like I don't wanna get old oh no I told my mum this and she afterwards thrive, I'm out. What do you mean you're out? I don't want to turn 30. I don't want to get old.

Oh, no. I told my mum this and she afterwards was like, I'm concerned. I think she thought it was a bit of an issue. But no, I just don't like the idea of... Yeah, because your mum knows you. The idea of you dodging 30 is jumping in the chest freezer and being like, I will live forever. Like in the movies.

Die in there and we can't defrost you. Not how it works. I feel like every year since I've turned 20, I've aged two years per year. Like I feel like I'm, you know what I mean? Yeah, I know what you mean. Like an exponential graph. My x-axis is way out of whack.

This is good. I'm amazed that you went for a maths analogy, but I'm pleased you did. I was top in statistics, don't forget. Really? I'm holding on to my youth. So we've got the two examples here. We've got Shannon freaking out about 30

and Carwin being like, no, no, I'm embracing it. Because it says the fear of aging and the woman are embracing their 30s with confidence and excitement. The post-20s glow up, which is pretty much what Carwin talked about there. And celebrating personal growth achievement and life lessons for the girlies

that are already in their 30s to show that the ones under 30 have nothing to worry about. Yeah, like everyone that I know that's 30 is thriving. 30 and thriving. 30 and flirty and thriving. Yeah. I mean, not everyone is thriving. I'd say that.

I'm surviving. Most people are just surviving. I'd say most people are just crawling to the finish line. Just treading water at the same time. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, according to the Telegraph, Vaughan, it's bad news for you and your... The Telegraph? Welcome down to the Telegraph office.

No, the news site. Ah, that's not nearly as exciting. No, but it's bad news for you and your cute button nose. Oh no, why? Big noses are in. It's an article about how it's now the Hollywood must-have. Really?

Who's got a big nose in Hollywood that's leading this trend? They've cited the large noses, particularly in Hollywood, highlights how actors like Adrian Brody and Paul Mescal. Mescal? Mescal. Mescal. Mescal's how you pronounce the... Yeah, I literally have said that before.

How their noses are challenging the traditional ideas of beauty. Right. Okay. I'm reading, I just googled Hollywood big noses. Steve Carell, Bradley Cooper, Matthew McFadyen, who was on

Succession. Yeah, he's great. But he was Mr. Darcy wasn't he? Yeah. In Pride and Prejudice back in the day. Jeff Goldblum, Andy Samberg, Liam Neeson, Adam Driver, Ryan Gosling. Does Ryan Gosling have a big nose? And Owen Wilson. Oh, yeah. He broke his nose, so it's like a little bit bent.

Producer Gurley's big noses? Yeah, I love a nose. I don't know what to say now. You read out that list, and it's like there's so many actors, it's not a big deal. Why is this article a thing? I feel like we're just embracing all faces and shapes now. Yeah?

Just, yeah. I will say I've just Googled Ryan Gosling. I wouldn't say that's a big nose. Oh, that's petite. Yeah, not a big nose. Normal-sized nose. What do you say to a normal nose? Normal nose.

Normal nose. Adam Driver, I feel like his main feature issized nose. Normal nose. Normal nose. Normal nose. Adam Driver, I feel like his main feature is his nose. Yes, and his ears and the cat. Yeah, ears. Looks like that cat. But I like Adam Driver. I think he's fantastic. I mean, I guess we've just named a lot of hot males that work in Hollywood.

So maybe lots of hot males in Hollywood have big noses. I thought women with big noses might have had it reduced, might have had some sort of rhinoplasty. But now on this list, I've got to the female honkers, and there are some very attractive females with what you would consider a larger nose. Lady Gaga has a larger nose. Apparently Blake Lively's nose is larger than the average.

Yeah. Lake Bell, who's not a super well-known actress, but she's talked about that. She does wonderful voiceovers, and maybe if she changed the nose, she wouldn't get the resonance. Yeah. Blake Lively's nose is big because she can smell a scandal.

Hey, man, are you sitting on that one? Wow. That took me 10 seconds. You loaded it up. Loaded it up. That was the natural out. Let it go. Do you want to tell everybody what you thought this list was really about, Shannon?

Tell us what you thought, why men with big noses in Hollywood were having a sexy revolution. I thought we were discussing as friends in confidence that it might have been an adult thing. In the bedroom. Yeah, to enhance adult stuff. And then everyone laughed at me. Yeah. She said nose rides. No, I didn't!

I didn't! She said nose rides. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. From the unmoderated comments section, this is the top six. Well, if you look to the horizon, you see two things. Yep.

Shannon turning 30. And Lord's Newfoundland. This is a problem, Shannon. You bet. And now it's going to be a thing. Wow. You shouldn't have bet. Countdown to 30.

I might say today. It's going to be in the thousands, but I might say the countdown. Well, Lorde's new album, there's a lot of hype build. Yeah. It started, she popped up at Coachella at the weekend. She had that little teaser clip, which sounds great. Not like the last album. Yeah, some...

I liked it. I know you did. I liked it. But no one knows, man. What's the vibe of this album going to be? What's the name of the album? Well, I've got the top six names for Lorde's new album. Okay.

I googled... Wait, what did we have first? Maladrama. Yep. What was the next one? What was the Greenlight album called? What was that one called? Greenlight.

Greenlight. Was it called Greenlight? Was it called Greenlight? Lorde albums. And then the last one was Solar Power. Solar Power. Okay. Pure Heroine.

Tessitura. Well, that sounds like it would be a heavy metal band. You're thinking of Sepultura. Yeah. Or Pantera. Or Pantera. Yeah, Tessitura. Okay.

The word means the most comfortable and frequently used vocal range of a singer. Oh, okay. Which is nice. I can see that album artwork already. Number five on the list of the top six names for Lorde's new album, Apophenia. Oh, that sounds like she'd name an album like that. Yeah, but Apophenia, that's the tendency to perceive

meaningful connections between unrelated things. Oh, yeah. Apophenia. I like it. Number four on the list of the top six names for Lorde's new album is Noctiluca. Noctiluca is a bioluminescent marine organism which literally means nightlight

because we had solar power. Yeah, right. So if she goes for a complete flick, she could go for nightlight, Noctiluca. Which sounds fun to say. Yeah. Noctiluca. Number three on the list of the top six names for Lord's new album are Palimposest. Something reused or altered

but still bearing traces of its original form You couldn't even say it It's a hard one to say People aren't going to say that Palimpsest Yeah, no Number two is another one to say I think it's of German origin

The list of the top six names of Lord's new album Welchmirs Welchmirs Oh, it just sounds angry, doesn't it? World weariness or melancholy from the disparity between reality and ideals. Kind of really sets the scene at the moment, though, right? Yeah. Welchmierz.

Welchmierz. And number one on the list, and I honestly think this could be a Lorde's album name for a top six new names for Lorde's new album. Spit it out, Paul. Spit it out. Soliloquy. Soliloquy. Soliloquy. Speaking one's thoughts aloud when alone.

Soliloquy. Well, that is a good name for an album. That's a good name for an album. That's just a good name for an album. Really sets the tone, too. Lord's new album is a soliloquy. Well, you can send her those top six. I might just huck it through, yeah.

See if any of them work. See what I got? Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Remember when Black Mirror was first on? It wasn't on Netflix. The first two seasons were only like three or four episodes each. They were on some kind of British network, hey? BBC or IT?

Yeah, one of them. These little-known, sort of like independent, they were real cult, had a cult following. Dude, yeah, they were amazing. And then it broke Broke into America And then America Were like We want more of that

And then Netflix Got on And then we had Some big seasons With some huge names Yeah now you've got Big celebrities That are involved in it

I don't even know How many episodes Are in this new season That I stumbled across Yesterday I don't even know It was I knew it was

On the horizon But I didn't know It was like Literally Moments away Cause I saw somebody post This is the order You should watch them in I stumbled across yesterday. I didn't even know it was, I knew it was on the horizon, but I didn't know it was like literally moments away. Because I saw somebody post, this is the order you should watch them in. I haven't seen that.

I just started at one. Yeah, apparently you can, like, it doesn't matter what order, but they reckon this is the best order. So I don't know where that is now, but I don't know. People have kind of come up with a list. If you are about to attack the latest season of Black Mirror. Okay. So I started, what season are we up to?

It's a season seven. Yeah. I know, crazy, eh? So I've watched Common People and Big Kickoff. Yep. Really horrible. What's the premise of this first episode that you watched? She, I don't know... It happens pretty quick.

It happens... Is it a spoiler? I guess you'd say it's a spoiler. A woman, Rashida Jones, is the actress. Yep. And Chris O'Dowd is her husband. Chris O'Dowd from the IT crowd. I love her.

How do you burn to death at a sea park? Or what is he? Is he in Bridesmaids? Bridesmaids, yeah. Yeah, he's a cop, right? He's in things things you'll see him and you'll be like oh yeah Chris her dad

so she gets a brain tumor okay and there's a new medical advancement but it has its downsides right and that's the hot where okay

when a medical emergency leaves school teacher Amanda fighting for her life who desperate hasn't Mike signs her up for Rivermind a high tech system that will keep her alive

that's all I'll say that's the synopsis synops the synopsis of it on the IMDb review. Currently at an 8.1 out of 10. I think I'm done with Black Mirror. The real world is just, it's too close to what we're living. That's why I remember when it was taken. The first season here was December 2011,

the National Anthem, where the Prime Minister has to do something shocking because the princess has been kidnapped. Yes. So there was three episodes that. There was three episodes that season. But like the episode

where you're going around and you've got like an Uber rating, that's basically like. The social score, yeah. Yeah, that's basically what living in China is like now. Yes. With your social credit.

Is that the one, that's with Bryce Dallas Howard, right? Yeah. That was season three, so that was 2016. Yeah, that's basically what living in China is like now. Yes. With your social credit. Is that the one, that's with Bryce Dallas Howard, right? Yeah. That was season three, so that was 2016. Yeah. Or what about the episode where the mum has to, where she's always tracking the kid? And that's pretty much like how kids are now with air tags. Is that the one where you go through the airport and they can scan that chip and they

see the last 24 hours of your life and like Oh no, that's a different one I think. I mean, they're always great, these episodes, aren't they? But it does... Season 7 has a follow-up to Season 4's USS Callister. Right. Which was the top rated of that season. Okay.

That was a weird one too. It had Jesse Plemons in it. He's never in a TV show that's settling, is he? You always see him and you're always like, poor Jesse Plemons. You're about to upset me greatly. Yeah, what's about to happen? So why did you half stop

and why did you half quit? I shouldn't have said it. This is for flesh winning Hayley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse, the biggest brands at the lowest prices.

You know I got too much and I needed a break? Right. I'd imagine there are as someone that's lived a fairly trauma-free privileged lifestyle, I can watch these and be like, but I'd imagine there are. As someone that's lived a fairly trauma-free, privileged lifestyle, I can watch these and be like, ooh.

But I'd imagine there'd be people who watch these who are like too close to home. Yes. Certain aspects of it. Yeah, for sure. Too close to home. Just outrageous that you would stop an episode. Like, I don't start an episode. What should I do?

25 minutes more of stretching or something? You know, I don't. But it's like before going to bed, I will either do a whole episode or I'll just watch something shorter. I don't pause an episode halfway through. That's wild behaviour from you. It's wild behaviour. Wild behaviour.

That should actually be a silly little poll. Can you stop a TV show halfway through? And do you come in, like if you're binging a whole season or seasons, do you stop halfway? Yeah, all the time. No. All the time. I don't know why, I just don't like it.

It's like it's got too late and mum said go to bed, you can record the rest of that episode. So I press record and I go to bed and in the morning I watch it before the next episode. Right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Pre-sale tickets for Lady Gaga went on sale yesterday. I saw friends in Sydney in

like the virtual queue. One of them was like 103,000 in the queue. Oh my God. I thought you were going to say 100. They were 100th in queue. 103,000. Like insane. Producer Carla, though, you managed to get tickets.

Yeah, I think we started at maybe like 82,000, 83,000 ahead of us. It was crazy because if you think about it, that's individual people. That's a crazy amount of people. And it's only pre-sale, so there's only X amount of seats. Yeah, so yesterday was Vodafone and Mastercard. I think Wednesday is Live Nation and then Thursday is general sale. Right, and then

like, will she add more shows? Surely, right? Surely, right. She's only doing one in each city. That's still a lot of people and there's lots of gaps between the Sydney and Melbourne show which you'd think

would be extra shows but maybe not she'll squeeze some more in but yeah we got tickets the problem is I immediately was like great

let's buy some flights let's book some a comm head over to one of my favourite websites that gives free cancellation until like right before yeah that's one of my favourite websites that gives free cancellation until like right before. Yeah, that's one of my biggest things is getting free. You've got to get the free cancelable accommodation.

And like love it when it's also pay at the spot, like when you get to the hotel. Totally. But booked a lovely hotel, kind of had like QT vibes, you know, the QT in New Zealand, kind of had that vibe, some art on the wall,

like bright colours. I was like, this is fun, good location. And then they send me a message because I accidentally selected check-in time for 7am instead of 7pm. That's not important. As I check this message from them to be like, sorry, my mistake, I also see lower down, upgrade your room. And I'm like, why would I do that?

Then I see the fine detail that says upgrade your room for a private bathroom. What are you saying? A hostel? It's not a hostel. It doesn't look like a hostel. I can do this. It's like a bougie. I think it's one of those bougie accommodations that's like the next.

It's between a hostel and a hotel. Yeah. How many people are you sharing it with? Just me and my partner. No, no, no, I mean the bathroom. I don't know. It's because I couldn't see detail anywhere saying that it didn't have a private bathroom. In the photos, there's a bathroom.

Oh, okay. Yeah, but that's a shared bathroom. Is it one of those situations where the room, you know, that door opens up between the room, like when we travel as a family and you get the rooms next to each other and you open up the door. But they've always got a bathroom each.

Yeah, they do. Yeah, I just couldn't work it out. The picture of the bathroom didn't look like a shared bathroom because to me a shared bathroom has multiple sinks. But it must have said when you were booking shared bathroom. I don't think it said shared bathroom because to me a shared bathroom has multiple sinks. But it must have said when you were booking shared bathroom. I don't think it said shared bathroom.

I think it just didn't include private bathroom. But there was a photo to kind of allude to the fact there is a bathroom. It's just not in the room. Yeah.

So anyways, I quickly cancelled that because free cancellation. Booked a nice place but I've never... Has it got a bathroom? Yes. Okay, good.

I selected in the search terms, private bathroom. Private bathroom. Yep, okay, good. I've just never seen that before where it just doesn't mention a bathroom in the listing. I'm trying to think about how you would access a bathroom that would be shared without that person who shares it with you also having access to your room.

On that floor. Like a halls of residence. Yeah. It's like, yeah, that's what, it's like a hostel. There's just a shower room or individual shower rooms. Yeah. That people use. Huh.

Okay. I've just never seen it. And it just gave off such fancy vibes. Yeah. To not have that. Because a hostel is a hostel. When you see a hostel, you're like, that's a hostel. But then even hostels now from from what they used to be, are so flash because they have to be.

Is this a spicy thing? Is this intentionally for adults? Oh, Shannon, not everything is about sex. No, I just mean maybe that's the purpose of it. Right. Maybe it's for a shared experience to meet other couples. Could be. Well, I've cancelled it, so we'll never know.

That's not your vibe then. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. There's a girlie online and she has said her mother has an unusual habit. Her mother, while she's having her glass of wine, mixes in the recommended amount for a woman her age of Metamucil fiber product. Now, if I'm all on board with a bit of that, get the fiber in there, get it all moving. Weird to mix it in with wine.

Yeah. Because it's not like wine adjacent. Mix it with, I don't know, like a protein powder? Also, you can get capsules. They do capsules. Right. No, she can't swallow them. I can just imagine her having decided 20 years ago she can't swallow pills. Right. And she simply won't

be making any adjustment. They come in capsule form. Just do that. She said it keeps her regular. Right. And she enjoys it with her wine. The first time. How did this happen? Did you say red wine? What kind of wine was it? It's red.

Yeah. Ugh. Nah. Okay. I wouldn't even, any wine, white or red. Well,

so how is it, is it going to dissolve? It's not going to dissolve. It's going to have a film, it's going to change the entire, it's going to make it thick. Yuck. It's a weird, see,

in a smoothie, a weird quirk. Yeah, totally. Totally. If you're mixing up a breakfast smoothie, chuck some in as a little extra something, something getting things moving, but with the wine. Wine. No, that's a new. But you can't yes. Yeah, totally. Totally. If you're mixing up a breakfast smoothie, chuck some in as a little extra something, something getting things moving.

But with the wham. Wham. No, that's a new bit. But you can't tell a mum or a dad to change their ways. They develop habits. They get set in them over the years and they can't stop. Yep, they can't stop. So that's what we want to talk about this morning.

Your parents' unusual quirks. And I was trying to think of something because I'm guaranteed my mum's got like five. Is it turning everything off at the wall? Or unplugging everything? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

My father-in-law puts a sheet over everything. What? What? TV. Doesn't want the dust to get on the screen. When he goes away. No, no, no, no, no. Just when he's finished with it for the day.

Puts a sheet over the TV. Like a haunted house. Yeah, dude. Like an old manor. 100% you go in there and it's a way for the weekend or whatever and it looks like an old manor that's been abandoned, a deceased estate.

Is that what they call it? Yes. Where someone just rocks in and shuts sheets over everything to stop the dust piling up? But then the whole place just looks like sheets. Yeah. Right. Okay.

Yeah. Tea towels or actual sheets? He's got a laptop and rather than just shut the laptop, he leaves the laptop open and puts a smaller sheet over the laptop. This is so good. I mean, I don't know why I was like, oh, I have to think of one my mum does when I literally have a fountain of them in the form of a father-in-law.

Yeah. Producer Shannon, this is something your dad does. He's got an unusual parent quirk. Yeah, when I moved home from uni, I noticed it. When he naps in the afternoon, which he does early hours as well, so he would nap pretty much every day, he would sleep wearing sunglasses and just lie face up in bed

with sunglasses on. Speed dealers too, like dad glasses, like proper dad glasses. Proper golfer. When he wakes up, you don't know if he's asleep or awake, or the whole time he could just be lying there. Once I asked him and he said a rock star's always ready. A rock star's always ready. Cole.

Classic Cole. That's amazing. Yeah, I don't know. Because I thought he was being silly. And then, no, every time I come visit and I peek my head into the... It's probably better for the sleeping during the day. It's an extra layer of darkness, isn't it?

And he's a rock star. And he is a rock star, of course. Yeah, of course. Okay, this is what we want to take now, your calls. 0800 DALES AT M, text through 9696. After we saw online a girl ratting on her mum for mixing her Metamucil into her Wham, we thought we'd take some calls and stuff on your parents,

like unusual quirks. Because they're a quirky bunch, the people that raised us. Well, are they set in their ways? Yeah. You can't tell them. No. Jenna, what is it that, is this your dad? What does he do?

Good morning, yeah. So my dad uses the newspaper from the day before as his chopping board to make his toast and to butter his toast the next morning. So once he's done, he makes a hurrah of a mess in the kitchen and then it all goes in the bin. So he just folds up the paper and chucks it in the bin? Yep, folds it up, goes in the bin. I kind of like that because then you're never having to wash the chopping board.

Nah. It's a great idea. Exactly. He's done it for years. And if chopping something is a bit wet, does he put down a few extra layers of newspaper? No, he doesn't actually. It's only used for toast really.

Right. He likes his toast quite cooked. Right. So it's very crumbly. But if there's any meat or chicken at dinner time, that's an actual chopping board. Yeah, yeah. We get out the...

Right, yeah. Because they're going to say you pop a chicken breast on the paper and you pick it up, it's an actual chopping board. Yeah, we get out the popcorn. Because I was going to say, you pop a chicken breast on the paper and you pick it up, it's got the Sudoku imprinted on the back of it, doesn't it? Tarnishes it a little bit. Gina, thank you. Some messages in. Somebody said, my great-grandmother used to cover everything in her house with sheets, even when she was home and just moving about the house.

But they were all white sheets and she'd have them pulled at the top. It looked like a clan rally. Everything was wearing a white hood. Somebody else said Metamucil also comes in adult gummies. Why is this woman mixing it with her wine? I don't know, man. I don't know. My parents' oddity is that there are two people

that live in their house, but every month when they get their water bill, it says that six people live in their house. They're using enough water for six people. Oh, what? They might have a leak. Sounds like they've got a leak. They might have a leak. Or the neighbours are filling up the pool using their outside tap.

That's water in the garden. That's actually a water-saving tip from me, a money-saving tip. Right. Use the neighbours. If they've got a hose coming up the fence, you just run a splitter up and put it on your side of the fence. Yes. And you've got free water outside. Perfect.

My dad refuses to get one meal when we go out for dinner, one meal each when we go out for dinner. There's four of us. And he said, the mains are too big for one each. We will order three and we all must share. And so we share three mains. And he said, and I'm just saving myself money of having to buy another main.

I mean, that's good dad, man. Yeah. That's good dad, man. I mean, sometimes you just need all those chips and that big giant burger. I hadn't thought about that. Or is he more thinking about those restaurants where it's like a giant...

I was thinking curries. Yeah. So you can do that at those kind of restaurants, but not some. Not burgers. No. Not burgers. My mum takes every sachet from a restaurant takeaway hotel

that she can get her hands on. Like if she stays in a hotel, she'll just take all of the coffee and tea when she leaves, but never uses them. They just sit in a bowl in the pantry. It's overflowing. Never uses them. You've got to use them. She might be saving them for the apocalypse. The special times, yeah. And my Nana would wash and reuse

her glad wrap. After a couple of washes, it didn't stick to itself anymore. Which is handy if you're hanging it on the washing line because a light breeze would of course turn it into a crumpled mess.

Oh, Nan. Nan. I remember seeing teabags, old people getting a teabag and saving it for a little bit. It's rations, right? It's the war. Like a hangover from the war

and tough times. Totally. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. The Blue Origin all-female crew is safely back on Earth today. So the new Shepard was the craft they were in.

It was Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez, Aisha Bowie. Now, Lauren Sanchez is Jeff Bezos' partner. Yeah. Yeah. Who owns the rocket. Jeff Bezos owns the rocket. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So he sent his- Amazon guy. His missus up there And Gayle King is Oprah's best friend But they're not lovers They're not lovers They're not lovers Not lovers

Definitely still not lovers Yeah Okay And she was there Oprah was there Orlando Bloom was there To see them back Yeah right

When they touched down Yeah Well it all went flawlessly Apparently So it's 11 minutes So it's From suborbital space. It's not like we all imagine space being the astronauts on the way to the International Space Station or being in the space station.

It's suborbital space. So it's enough that there is weightlessness. So the capsule and booster take off vertically. The capsule separates at 76 kilometres above the capsule and booster take off vertically. The capsule separates at 76 kilometres above the Earth and continues to 106 kilometres. Right, above the Earth's surface. Which is 350,000 feet. So think about when you're cruising at an altitude of, what are you, 35,000 feet in a commercial plane?

Yes, 10 kilometres. Yeah. So they're 106 kilometres above the Earth. Right. So that's high. So then the booster lands two miles from the launch pad. The capsule parachutes back. Does it land like the SpaceX one?

Does it land back where it... Yeah, it does. Or does it just like smash into the ground? It lands vertically. Okay. It's got booster rockets. And then the capsule that Katy Perry and the all-female crew were in, that parachutes back and it lands on the desert floor.

Right. So where she was up there, she sung a song. And apparently it was her version of this song. I was really hoping it was going to be Firework. No, you wouldn't tempt fate with Firework. Unless she's singing Firework and then it explodes and she literally is a firework. Baby, I am a firework.

Or what about E.T.? She's in space. That's more of a... That would have been better. Roar? Yeah. Roar could have been on the list. Also, was everybody like, shut up.

Actually, I know they were asking her to sing. Oh, were they asking her to sing? Apparently, they were begging her to sing. Okay. But she did this song. What did Gayle do? She's a journalist, right? So she'll assume there's going to be a follow-up story about that.

Okay, so that's Katy Perry's the singer. Gayle King. Lauren, you explained that's Jeff's partner. What else? Okay, Aisha Bowie is a former nasa aerospace engineer yeah okay fantastic and the former of stem board uh that's great amanda newen is a civil rights activist and a founder of rise a non-profit organization advocating for the rights of sexual assault survivors fantastic uh kerry ann flynn is an american film producer. She worked on This Changes Everything in Lily.

Right. So she's sort of the Hollywood. There was. Team Z had a great video after the capsule lands of Jeff Bezos running around and he falls over and face plants. My name falls on his face. And it's just something about one of the richest men in the world. Being as clumsy as the rest of us. You know what I like to see Jeff Bezos do?

Chase a ping pong ball that bounces off the table when he's playing beer pong. It's never sexy. It's never sexy. It's never sexy. Let it bounce, Jeff. Let it stop. Or chasing a chicken. There's nothing more embarrassing. Yeah, even though this was a remarkable feat, the internet is still having a field day because it lasts 11 minutes and it's just rich people going to space,

right? Yeah, effectively. Rich and famous people going for a joyride for 11 minutes into space. What is that costing the environment? But an all-female crew and they're great for feminism. Fantastic. And of course when they were coming into land there's microphones

on board to capture the stoic, powerful feminine moment. Those are like the guy parachutes. Just free-falling right there until those drugs came out. Awful feminine moment. Those are like the guy parachutes. They're the girl parachutes. Just free falling right there until those drugs came out. And then next will be the main parachutes that get pulled out.

Yes. They're screaming like they're on the fair fall at Rainbow's hands. But do you know what? Like even though there are parachutes, that was dropping so fast. It was honing, man. I would have absolutely shat myself. Yeah. But I like to imagine the NASA representatives on board were like,

guys, one thing everyone's going to be expecting us to do is scream like little girls. We can't scream like little girls. I would have been screaming like a girl. Screaming like little girls. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Now, a man, you'll be flabbergasted to know,

a man has cheated on his partner. Heavens to Betsy, one says. He has given what is maybe the wildest excuse. He sent her a video. She's uploaded the video. The video is a lot of blathering, but he gets down to the crux of the issue of what made him cheat dear ex-agent blue 32 miss roberts i received your

concern of us hacking quote-unquote hacking into your ex-agent blue one's your descendants device and sending fake messages out back in february we discussed ex-agent Blue One's safety concern with the Central Intelligence Agency. He said the CIA hacked him. The CIA hacked. And you're sending out the messages and stuff, too. It sounds like he is trying to say that he was hacked, not his phone. Yeah, he was hacked.

Right. Because he's an ex-agent. Oh, he's in the CIA. He has been hacked. Because he's an ex-agent. Oh, he's in the CIA. He has been hacked. Producer Shannon, you've been following this story here at the social media desk. It's wild. Yeah, he really rambles on

and he shows the official emblem of the letter that he got. And there's multiple parts to this. That's just a little bit of his rambling. He shares his agent name, the agent who sent it to him. But he's just using lots of like, it seems like the NATO alphabet. Like he just keeps saying random words that don't make sense.

He's like Echo, Black, all these random things. That's the operation code name for why he cheated on his partner. So he cheated on his missus and she's like, why? And this is his response. Yeah, and at the end of the video he says, this one's getting too long, I'll send another video. It maxes out. But yeah, he very much says like, this isn't me, it was the CIA.

Right. And it's filmed, he's got like moody lighting, yeah, all these official emblems. He bought props, I'll give him that. Really? Yeah, he really tried. Just didn't get a better story, you know? And now, of course, she's shared it

and everyone's like, oh, dude. Wow, that's one hell of an excuse. The guy's really going to the deep end of the pool. Have any of you two had wild excuses being cheated on? I was the other woman. He had like two houses. He paid two rents. And when we found out about each other, he just...

In this economic climate? Five years ago. This is... Oh, pre-COVID. You couldn't do that now. You'd have to have one of your mistresses in a caravan or a tent. Totally. Maybe a tiny home parked on the back of the lawn of the place you're already renting.

Because then you can get around that whole... With a giant fence to hide your other wife. Yeah. Totally. Wait, wait. So you lived in a house with him? I didn't live with him, but he lived with my friends. It was my friend's flatmate.

And yeah, we found out about each other. She messaged me and he just acted so confused. Like he didn't really give an excuse. He's just like, oh, that's crazy. That's crazy! Wow, that's crazy. Have you got anything to say for yourself? Oh, man, what is there to say?

This is crazy. And it was his birthday in the following week, and he knew I bought him a present, and he asked if he was still going to get it, and I said no. I mean, fair line of inquiry if you purchased it and it was specifically for him. So this is what we want to ask this morning.

0800 DARS at M. You can text 09696. What was the wild excuse you got when someone cheated on you? Yeah. Yeah. What excuse did they come up with? I mean, I don't think we've got brain hacking.

No. Or working for the CIA. No. Maybe not. Whoa, this is just weird. That's crazy. Dude, you're telling me I'm paying two lots of rent? That's wild.

That's wild, man. A dude has cheated on his partner, been busted and blamed the CIA for basically hacking him. Yeah, and now his ex-girlfriend is sending the videos of him explaining he's a CIA agent.

So we've asked this morning for your weirdest stories you've been given. When someone cheated on you, what was your excuse? Oh, and I tell you what, you are not letting us down in New Zealand.

There are some fantastic messages. We're going to get to these because we're trying to call them again and again. Because we want to hear these stories. Victoria, what was the excuse you were given when you were cheated on? The excuse he used was that my body count was higher and he had the right to catch up. Okay, so if you don't mind me asking, and, you know, how much higher was your body count than his?

One. Just by one. Just by one. Just by one. Right. Did he ask if he could even the body count? No. Right.

Okay, yeah. But he thought catching up meant with maybe like five other people. Oh, wait, no, he passed. No, he said now you're allowed. You're actually allowed four. You're allowed four, yeah. Yeah, that's what I said. But no, I just decided to end it right there, done and done.

Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. Oh, sorry about that, Victoria. Yeah, you'd be better off without that. That, fair enough. Fair enough. Sorry about that, Victoria. You'd be better off without that. That's bad maths. Emily, what was the wild excuse you got when you were cheated on? So I didn't get cheated on

just once, but I got cheated on twice by the same guy and his excuse was that he had ADHD and couldn't focus on one thing at a time. Emily,

I just can't focus on just you. Yeah. I'm going to need to focus on Stephanie and Emily and how did that go down with you, Emily? The funniest thing was that her name was Emma and my name was Emily Oh, right So, I mean, he's kind of focusing on the M

Alphabetically, he's on the right track Yeah Because Emma is after Emily Yeah E-M-I-M-I So, I mean, he's kind of focusing on the M. Alphabetically, he's on the right track. Yeah. Because Emma is after Emily. Yeah. E-M-I-M-M. Obviously, you broke that off straight away. Well, I actually had feelings for his best friend.

Okay. Oh. Well, that'll be your ADHD. And then, so did you end up with the best friend? Yeah. Oh, fantastic. Are you still with the best friend? Yeah, and I'm friends with the guy that cheated, so it all kind of worked out.

Everyone's friends. Yeah. I love this. Fantastic. It's great for you, isn't it? Hey, there's an old saying, better have another friend than another enemy. Yeah, true.

I just made that up right now, but it feels old. And how's the ex's ADHD going? Um, I guess it's still there. It's still there. Still cheating or something? Yeah. Emily, thank you. Some messages in. This is the one we've tried to call a hundred times

and they haven't answered. My ex boyfriend cheated on me with Lil' Kim. This is famous rapper. Amazing. I mean, could you even be mad if your partner cheated on you with like a superstar? Someone famous? With Lil' Kim.

And his excuse was, she's famous. This should be allowed. So good. How's, I mean, I've got the Henry Cavill clause in my marriage. People do have celebrity passcards. Yeah, got the Henry Cavill clause In my Yeah Marriage People do have celebrity passcards But they're Mine's Henry Cavill Yeah but they're there

They're in place because They're unachievable It's never gonna happen Yeah why Why do you say that You don't think I could beat Henry Cavill Well I mean he's Come on

Straight for starters Yeah so am I Yeah A man can dream Worlds collide man Yeah Worlds collide My ex's reason

That he cheated on me was I was in Australia for nine days and that was an inconsiderable amount of time. Different area code. My ex-boyfriend tried to tell me his phone got hacked when he sent me messages outing his cheating. He said people hacked into his phone and were sending messages to people. He thought I was dumb enough to fall for that. I was not.

I had an ex cheat on me because I didn't answer my phone, because I was celebrating Christmas with my family. When I told him that was stupid and I didn't even see a missed call from him, he said, okay, I lied.

I didn't even try calling. I just cheated on him. It's not the 1980s. He's not calling a landline. Yeah, there's evidence. Without an answer machine. I was bored and you were away for five days and you weren't answering my texts.

Wow. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. My ex got jumped by his osteopath at his appointment and he was just a poor defenseless man. That couldn't stop her. Of course, yeah.

That was his excuse. Not me, but someone I know was told that her partner had to sleep with this woman so that they could secure the flat they wanted to move into together. Right. She was the tenant, not the landlord, so I'm not sure if that is a thing. Wildest excuse for a cheating partner is to blame your partner and play the victim. My boyfriend did that.

A boyfriend of 16 years did that to me. Oh, wow. He cheated on me and then was just like, it's so mean how you make a big deal out of this. Jesus. Just gaslight your way out of it. I got told he didn't cheat, but if his flatmates told me he was testing his friend's loyalty,

and it's lies. What? Like a loyalty tester? Yeah, a loyalty tester. Okay. Well, that's a valuable service. When I came to New Zealand from Brazil, on my second week, my ex cheated on me

as he said he needed to release tension and he didn't want to release the tension on me. I'm not sure how that works. Okay. Yeah. Oh, my partner cheated on me and when it boiled down to it, he said the main reason was that I had a couple of times,

instead of saying specific, said Pacific. That's my favourite one. That's my favourite one. If you're going to cheat on someone, not a bad reason. No. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Thanks to Meg. Listen to Meg's suggestion.

It's Redhead Week here at Fact of the Day. And we've established big fans. And Hayley's not here today to say silly things. Oh. That's actually why she's not here. She's been suspended from school. We've given her a suspension. She's been suspended from school.

No notes going home to her parents. Because it is Redhead. It's an appreciation week. Today, I want to tell you about some differences in the medical field. Oh, yeah. That people with red hair experience. The MC1R gene is the mutation that causes red hair. Okay.

And apparently also linked to a few different things. Of course, sun sensitivity. We know if you've got red hair, you're more likely to have a pale skin. You have to be very careful in the sun. Coming from. You've got to be very careful in the sun. Coming from someone who also has to be very careful in the sun. Yeah, you do, don't you? Yeah, I do have to be very careful in the sun. A lot of freckles.

My son's got a lot of freckles. Well, man, your beard does go a little bit ginged, doesn't it? There's gingin there. There's definitely gingin there. Well, you see my Ancestry.com results. It's a lot Scottish and Irish. I'm surprised I'm not, you know. Totally.

I'm not of the redhead variety. But other than that, and you may know, you may have heard about this as a semi-well-known fact about redheads. They're more sensitive to types of pain, hot or cold pain, thermal pain for example. They feel burns and they feel the cold a lot more.

Also more resistant to local anesthetics, like lidocaine. Sorry if I'm saying that wrong. Lidocaine. Lidocaine. That's the dentist one, eh? Where they give you a little local one. They often require higher doses at the dentist or during surgery and thus leading to people with red hair having

an elevated fear of the dentist. And other things that involve that sort of pain. Because they might have had experiences when they were younger that they get the standard amount, but it didn't numb the pain enough. So they're more scared of it because they're like, this isn't going to hurt. But surely a dentist would see if you had red hair and give you more. And dose you up a little bit more.

I don't know. But apparently also more sensitive to opioid pain medication like morphine. Oh yeah. It hits them harder. It hits them faster. Right. Temperature sensitivity And they need less sunlight Because they synthesise vitamin D

More efficiently So does that mean that they're in more of a Better mood? Because that's what vitamin D does But of course they've got to balance it With too much sun exposure bad for skin So vitamin D They believe it's due to the evolutionary advantage

of the northern climates with less sun for a lot of the year. Right. That us, I'm going to just chuck myself in this mix, that us redheads. Redheads, red beds. You've got a little bit of gingerbread.

Redheads, red beds, baby. Yep. We're from the northern parts, like your Vikings, your Vikings. Yep. Redheads, your Scots, your early Celts and stuff, which all come from the northern parts. Like your Vikings, your Vikings, redheads, your Scots, your early Celts and stuff, which all come from the same place. So they evolved for less light, which made them be able to process vitamin D more efficiently

than other folks. So today's fact of the day is that there's some differences in the terms of medicine and, I guess, protection from the sun and such. Four, people with red hair. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play. ZM. Fletchv Vaughn and Hayley

Yesterday after the show we had a few things to do But we had a bit of time So we decided we'd go over the road to get a coffee At the cafe And as always Hayley's in Australia, in Melbourne But normally it's Hayley and I that are out the door And Vaughn is coming

And then gets Distracted or sidetracked And yesterday I left And you were gasbagging, I think, to the producers or you were slowly packing up. You don't do anything fast. Great guy. And we had a little bit of a, you know, we had a little small time window. So I opened the door and you were faffing about.

And that's when I said, Vaughn-y, just in a silly voice, because that's what we do to each other around said, Vaughn-y! Just in a silly voice because that's what we do to each other around here. Vaughn-y! And that's when I turn around and there's a meeting of 50 people happening right outside the door and they all look at me and I'm like, cool. 50 people. Because normally they shut the sliding walls.

There's sliding walls. So when people have a meeting, they put the walls up and it doesn't matter if we yell and we're silly buggers. And then I stick my head out and everyone's kind of looking and then I look up on the screen and I see it's a presentation on Skywalker clothing, which I have. I've got their wet weather gear. And then I'm like, I want to stop and

listen to this and talk about their weather gear. And you're like, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go. We've got a minimum amount of time. I'm like, it won't take long. I just want to say compliment them on a job well done because, you know, I'm a few seasons in and we've had very wet winters and it's still going. See how passionate I am about this? I could have totally talked at the conference.

You're a faffer. You're an absolute faffer. Yeah, but it was pretty good. It was pretty good them all turning around. Hearing what they assumed was like, I don't know, my daughter. I think some of them thought I said morning. Oh, that's the thing about my name too. It sounds like everything when you yell it.

Vaughn. It sounds like four when you yell it. Vaughn. It sounds like four on a golf course. Vaughn. It can sound like anything. It can sound like a noise. It can sound like a car go past. It says a lot about your name, doesn't it? It does.

Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. What are we doing next? So you know how a few years ago all the girlies would ask their boyfriend, would you still love me if I was a worm? And it caused a million fights across the world. Yes, yeah. I've got the new one. Oh, great.

Get ready for an argument. What everybody needs is another fight in their relationship. Just so we can, just for the record, would you still love me all if I was a worm? Would you be a human-sized worm? Would you be able to press the button still? Because that's the main thing I love about you. Unless his tail could do it.

Or his head. But if you were a human-sized worm, I would. I think it would be fun. Just so you could have a friend that was a human-sized worm. You'd still love me. And I'd say to you, I'd be like, what are you doing this weekend? You'd say nothing. I was like, come to my house and you can have that in the paddock.

Oh, yeah. And you go down in one hole and you just go through fertilising and making the soil better. Yeah, and when it rains lots, I'll just wiggle on the footpath. And then you pop your head out and guess what? There's a huge chicken there ready to eat you.

Would you still wear your little hat that you wear every day? Of course he would. Yeah, of course I would. But I don't think your chicken would eat me if I was a human-sized worm.

No, I assume this. I would eat that chicken up. Yeah, I would like to see that. Okay, well the new worm question is next from Shannon. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaugh like to see that. Okay, well, the new worm question is next from Shannon. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, this is the last time this happened,

it caused a lot of fights. Yeah, so lots of girls used to ask their boyfriends, would you still love me if I was a worm? Lots of men not realising it was a trap said no. And then an argument starts over something that isn't even real. Exactly. Hey, you never know. You might become a worm.

It's true. Can't argue with that. That chicken. Who knows? Who knows when we all might just mysteriously turn into worms. Yeah, so I've got a new question to start a fight on your Tuesday. Okay. What you do is you ask your boyfriend,

if you were blindfolded and couldn't speak, and there was 20 women in a room, and I'm in there as well, how would you find me? And I post this to the two of you to think about each other, Fletch and Vaughn. If you were blindfolded. Would you just sniff them all? I'd definitely use sniff

You wouldn't touch I'd touch This is the trap This was the trap Someone on TikTok I'd touch faces I'd touch faces So you want to touch

19 other faces Before you find Fletch Yeah but someone's You think it's someone's face But it's their boobies You've just touched Another girl's boobies Have you?

Yeah one guy When he was asked Just full out Said he would grab One guy said He would just full out grab boobs and you can imagine how that went down

yeah not well yeah but yeah how would you find each other smell smell would be really are you allowed

to talk to them no you can't speak you're not allowed to speak no and you're blindfolded yes so you've got the remaining senses

are hearing yes yep touch taste taste and smell what do you live with them Remaining senses are hearing. Yes. Touch. Taste. Oh, this is a hard one. And smell. What do you lick with them?

I don't know if you could tell a person by licking them. Okay, interesting. I think you'd go smell, right? Yeah, smell would certainly lead you to the right part of the room. But you'd have to get quite close to them. And then I'd go touch. You'd know your partner's smell though, right? Yeah, I reckon. So if you narrowed it down to the smell part of the room. But you'd have to get quite close to them. And then I'd go touch. You'd know your partner's smell, though, right?

Yeah, I reckon. So if you narrowed it down to the smell, then touch them? It just means you have to get very close if you're trying to smell them. Where are you going?

Nape of the neck? How dare you? I'm assuming the 20 women in this room have signed up, signed a waiver for this experiment that we're allowed. And what happens

if I get it wrong? Yeah. Is someone going to get shot? Because I'm pretty sure everyone's going to be like, yeah, touch me up if it means I'm not going to get shot. Guy who's also in this precarious position. Why have you taken me hostage? You're trying to out logic my hypothetical

fight question. Let me tell you something about hypothetical fight scenarios. There's no winner here. There is. I asked my boyfriend this yesterday. He's a magician though. He had to have a trick. He'd make me appear. No, he did a really good answer because I'm very jumpy. He said he'd just clap really loudly and whoever like got a fright,

he'd be like that, Shannon. And I was like, good answer. Unproblematic. He's not getting near anyone. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I like it. I think in this scenario, if there's people in this room, a sniff and a touch is all good.

Because they've signed up for the experiment. Are we being held against our will? Because then also, I'm the least criminal person here. I haven't kidnapped 21 people. Yeah, you're being kidnapped. Yeah, and they're like, find your partner and you can all go. Who's going to be angry at me? Someone's just texting you, just grab the closest person to you

and wait for your girlfriend to yell at you for touching her. Yeah. Hey, guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough. They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends. So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. See, I would concentrate more on the shitter podcasts that the company makes. Yeah, same. You know, the real losers out there.

Same. No, no, no, we'll just, maybe we won't say nice. Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes. Oh, no, but only after ours.

Yeah, nah, nah, don't do that. And not more than ours. Give us a sexy little review, though.
