Haley's back? Hi, guys. Thank you. I went to a funeral yesterday and everyone thought it was very funny that you called it a personal day. And the mystery surrounding that. Oh, really? I wonder it's a bit weird because then if we say,

you're at a funeral, everyone's like, who died? Who was it? Well, my darling friend's mother passed away, and I was in Facetane, celebrating. Beautiful part of the... Oh, it's lovely, yeah. Of this, God's sake. Beautiful country of ours.

Offed forgot. Offed forgot. Foketane. Honestly, gorgeous. But yeah, I'm back. I'm back. And thank God. She's back.

Secret sound returns this morning. We'll give you the chance to play and win the cash at 7 and 8. The next chances. The jackpot is at 15. thousand dollars all thanks to now and so listen now for that activated to get through and play the top six on the way

there's new rules for the America's Cup and it's almost like when I read it it almost read like a satirical news piece because you are going to have to have a woman on board. You have to have one. You have to have a woman on board for the next America's Cup. I was going to make a really sexist

joke then but they didn't. You made it off here you said what about the sharks. This is just going to draw sharks. That's what he said. I wasn't going to say that. Oh, you thought of another one? I thought of another one. Yeah, I know. Goodness. Wow, were you a piece of shit or what?

Yeah, I know. God, God, it's a pig. Terrible. We've got a pig on our hands. Terrible. I mean, now I just want to hear it. You're me too. Tell us.

Is it off, can I hear it off here? No, okay, I'll tell you off here. Yeah. No, that's good though, isn't it? Why haven't they had females before? No, there was nothing stopping women from being on the boat. We've been nicer food on board now. Oh, I'm looking forward to that.

Sort of a sharkout. Oh, it'll be lovely. The place is going to be so much nice, have some flowers around. Yeah. Well, I've got the top six other rules I put in place. Yeah, maybe we'll get a pink boat. Oh, it'll be lovely.

That'd be nice. That'd be nice. You've actually got a team of pigs on our heads. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. Look, I love an adventurous teenager. Like, well, that's out of terrible. I like to see teenagers out there living rather than being

glued to their devices playing Roblox and listening to Taylor Swift Records. Yeah. Absolutely. Now, this dude, however, probably does need a smack. We're not doing that anymore, for one. This is such a great story.

I can't even be mad. A teenager left South America in a plane, Haley. Yes. And guess where he landed? Oh, on a beautiful beach somewhere, and then he ordered the margarita and some beautiful ladies. No? He landed in Antarctica.

He landed in Antarctica without the correct permissions. Wait, isn't it winter at the moment? Like, do you remember that? Was it last week, the Air Force had to rescue someone at Scott Base or one of the bases? And that to land in like the dark. It feels like you'd need specific skills to be landing in Antarctica right now, right? I mean, obviously he knows how to fly a plane. Yeah, but he's 19 years old.

No. He took off. This was a fundraiser, by the way. I don't know if fundraisers were illegal, otherwise I'd be selling drugs for fundraising. You'd make a lot more money than you'd be. bloody chalky bars and saucy sozzes. Sell drugs and then give all that money to cancer research. Yeah, yeah.

Fantastic. Pure cancer with meth. That's our campaign. Yeah. Yeah. Let your addiction be our solution. Wow. Oh my God, it writes itself. Yeah, it really does. There might be some ethical. Morally, yeah.

Yeah. It might be a little bit cloudy. So where did he take off from? Chile. Okay. And he's landed in Chilean territory in Antarctica. But now he's just stuck there. well of course he is he it's winter in antarctica yeah so as he what kind of

he was trying to get around the world it's i don't know exactly what kind of plane he's in but he's by himself it's a little one it's not a big one he's not doing a he's not doing a um 747 or anything chilean antarctica oh right okay yeah yeah right so goodness because south america gets right down there yeah well that's where i went that's what like where patagonia is yes you fly right to the bottom it's insane yeah it's so beautiful But it's also, like, very cold and windy. Yeah, dude. As well down there.

What is it called Cape Horn? Is it Cape Horn? Or is that at the bottom of South Africa? Where they had to sail around. And it was, like, well known as the most treacherous seas. The, well, yeah, I know that the straits over to anyone that does a cruise to Antarctic will tell you that those straits can be pretty gnarly. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like I've got the wrong. No, Cape Horn. It is. Yeah, it's the headland of Chile. Cape Horn, going around Cape Horn. That would have been, I would have got through. That's a cash builder for the chase. That would have been, I would have said pass.

Yeah, normally that. And if we were doing the team thing, I would have been the passer and you would have been like, I knew that. Yeah, don't pass. You passed too quick. Give me a couple of seconds to think about it. So what capers at the headlands of Chile? And they would have gone next question.

It's Cape Hornet. So what's his punishment for doing this? Well, he's still there. Yeah, I know, but eventually they're going to fish him out of there. I don't know, smack the ass, I reckon. You can't just be willy-nilly, is it? Isn't that we dangerous? It's dangerous.

The winter season runs through from March to September. And the period from June to August is particularly known for being the coldest and darkest. I hope he bought a puffer. With no sunlight. So. Has he packed a bag? What's, is anyone getting up? Like, does he have an Antarctic again?

I don't know. This is such a great story. The stories aren't really. They haven't even got comment from his parents. He feels like a bloody laricon. Yeah. He learned to flow when he was 13. Some more background.

on him. He's doing this to raise money for an awareness. He learned to fly when he was 13. You can't even drive a car at that age. I know. But that's when he started learning. His cousin, who's the same age as him, has stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. So he's like, you know, I'm just trying to raise it. Yeah. He's raising awareness.

You know, maybe raise a little money and then his court costs are going to chew right through that fundraising effort. He should have just been a bit of selling drugs. What's he raising money for? Cancer research. Oh, okay. Yeah. We are talking about it. Yeah.

I sort of feel like. I need to know what he's doing. I need to know when they're going to rescue him. Yeah, is he stuck there? I need to know if he's got a puffer in some long johns. Yeah, is he had an airbase or did he just land on the ice? I don't know. I don't know.

This is, what a great story. We'll have to follow up on this story for sure. I think we'll keep our eye on it. Play Z-M's, Fletch Vaughan and Haley. There's a woman who recently went to her doctor for her annual physical. I don't do this. I go to the doctor. When I need to.

Yeah, when it's something itches. Well, our friend Mike the other day was saying he went to the doctor for the first time and like, were you there when he was telling us this? Like, seven or eight years or something? I was like, what? I would go, I go, numerous times a years. I'm like, oh my God, I'm dying, go. The moment there's anything, I'm like, hey, hey, doctor.

And also there's things that my doctor likes to check up on. So I'm always brought in. Yeah. What? Why isn't he, doesn't he have things? No, apparently he doesn't have things. He doesn't have things? Doesn't have things.

Not on pills and things? No. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, this woman went for her annual, uh, physical, noticed a sign on the wall that said, please be advised that it, I love that. Please be advised that additional charges may be applied if issues outside of the regular examination are discussed during your annual visit.

So she's booked her general kind of checkup. Yep. But if you go in and be like, I also have a love. And I also need some more of these. I also am thinking of this. And while I'm here, can you have a look at this? And if I, yeah. And now I was just thinking actually, if I open up my notes app on my phone, which

is what I use for all my sort of planning and whatnot. If I go doctor, I wonder if there's like, you know, because this is where I always write my doctor appointment, and it will be like, eye-exma, pill discussion, da-da-da-da-da, and I'll write like five or six different things. Yeah, there's a few in here. No, I think my doctor has a thing when you book on the website, if you've got more than one or three things, book a double appointment.

Here's one. So that you can, you know, you're not taking out people's time. because this is why they're late. People like you going on with like a list of eight things. Here's one from the 12th of December last year. Knee, itch, happy pills, LaRaz. That's a good list. Yeah, great list.

What was it again? Knee, itch, happy pills, La Raz. Did you get the itch? Itch sorted out? I don't even remember what itch I was itching in December of last year. Top. La Raz isn't happy pills. No happy pills will be my daily happy pills

LaRaz is my oh I'm not feeling happy let's kick that into gear Right you know we're gonna sort of talk about it all Right I do this all the time but I go you've got your allocated 15 minutes Use it I wish Dr Shawnee was here I'd absolutely get him on the phone Our friend Dr Shawnee is yeah he people come in with list He's like no we've got time for three

And I'll say shut up Like when they start talking to me how are you Shut up we've got 15 minutes listen I need this I need this I need this I need this I need this And then she'd be like what's the last thing you'd be like, I've really been thinking about life recently. They're like, well, we need more time for that one. Why don't you make that the highlight one?

Because they want you to book double appointments, right? Yeah. If you've got like a number of issues. But how do you know you're going to need a double appointment? Well, if you've got more than three issues. Or a couple of issues. What if one and two were by the buy? Yeah, I don't know.

Worried about this mole. They flick it and they're like, that was just a dry bit of poo. You're like, done. Perfect, great. We laugh, but that was that kind. That happened. That happened. That happened.

Yeah, totally. So that's done, tick. That's done in 10 seconds. Flick that. Yeah. You worry, I'm worried about this lump in my ear and they're like, everyone's got one of those. I don't know what it's called. Septim.

Oh, no, Tragus. Tragus. Yeah, yeah. That's part of human anatomy. Okay, two, done. Okay. Third, I'm vomiting blood. Okay, sir.

So that's going to be a double appointment. That's going to be a double appointment. Seems unfair because the lump in the air and the poo spot. We kind of took care of those within 10 seconds. How have these been the top of your head things that you would need to go to the top before? Everybody vomits blood, don't they? No. Oh, no.

Play. ZDM. Fletch Forn and Haley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the top six. Changes are afoot for the 38th America's Cup. To give a brief overview, there's going to be an establishment of some sort of America's Cup partnership, blah, blah, blah, that's a boring one. Two non-nationals will be able to sail on the boat. can have two people on your boat that aren't from the country.

So that means every... Oh, yeah, I didn't have a couple of... Oh, maybe a hot Brazilian. Yeah, Brazilian or a Colombian. Yeah. No one for their sailor. But do you know what? Everyone's going to steal our sailors. Yeah.

That's what's going to happen and put them on the airboats. Because we're the best. Well, that's already happened though. Yeah, it has. Remember when Brad Butterworth and Russell Coots turned their back on this beautiful country that made them the men they are just for money. No, I haven't. Never well.

Greedy. All these years later? Greedy. Crews are reduced from eight to five sailors. Oh, okay. And the grinders and the cyclists. Grindr? Yeah, grinder.

Okay. Got grinder on there. Do they have Wi-Fi? It's really bizarre. They've got time to hook up with other guys in the middle of a race. It would only be as the boat passed. You'd be like, he's on grinder. Yeah, and you jump to the other boat.

Yeah. Okay. So, apparently the grinders are going, and it's just going to be battery powered. Oh, for the extra power. Okay. Wild, eh. Teams are going to have a cost cap of $147 million. Oh, God.

That seems fair. I have really struggled to build a America's Cup boat for anything. I don't know how they expect us to do that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's tough. I'm sorry. It's really tough. We have to pinch our pennies to be able to afford to run an America's Cup boat.

And one of the five sailors must be a woman. And the sixth spot on the boat is going to be open to like dignitaries or like influences or... What? Wild, eh. Oh, imagine an influencer in the corner of the boat. Oh, my God. Everybody's been asking about. May America's cut.

The sixth person will also be on the boat with the protocol seeing the return of guest races, giving VIP sponsors, media, influences and dignitaries the chance to experience and report what it's like in the thick of the action. Guys, this could be us. Although how many times are those boats flip over? Yeah, is it and not something that go too fast. Help. They go too fast for us.

Imagine someone's giving you their influence a 20% off code for multivitamins or something. Yeah. Or slim tea. Yeah, yeah. Or the middle of a race. Or an Emirates upgrade. to use the lounge next time you travel. Top six other rules I'd have put in place

for the America's Cup. If I'm making all these changes, here's six more I would have put on it. Boats must now have cannons in at number six. Go on boats, you should have cannons? Boats, famously. Great place for a cannon.

A boat? I just think they should, and you should be able to shoot the other boats. It'd be a lot. They'd make it a lot of fun. Oh, wouldn't it be? It feels more like war. I'll say it.

That just feels more like war than racing. Like war games. War games, yeah. Number five. on the list of the top six other rules I'd put in place for the 38th America's Cup somebody has to be fishing Oh yeah, okay

Dragging a line Is it a little line? Dragon a line, whatever But if you catch the biggest fish It's bonus points Okay At the end of the race Number four on the list

Of the top six other rules I'd have put in place To the America's Cup They have to tow a ski biscuit Oh yes Because they go so fast Yeah they do They go so crazy fast

How fast? A ski biscuit would be Well how fast were they going last And would you be able to Google that? I'm just googoo. feeling now, Vaughan, you weren't they, it was, ah, so 100 kilometres. Yeah. On the water. That's insane. Yeah. I drive 100 kilometres literally every morning. It's not that impressive.

I know, but you're not on the water. I literally was like 30 minutes ago driving 100 kilometres. Yeah. I know. But it wasn't on the water. And you weren't tying a ski biscuit. No, I'd love to tow a ski biscuit in the morning ago. I could tow you, Vaughn. I could be on the ski biscuit. When you're on a ski biscuit, how fast you're being towed? Not very fast. It feels like really fast. But there's no more than, I reckon 50 kilometres an hour behind a would feel phenomenally fast. Because you come off that and you feel like, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, okay.

There must be a Guinness World Record for the fastest ever water skiing. But you see those, in Hamilton, they do the bridge to bridge and they time them between two bridges and they are rocketing. The fastest water skiing speed recorded is 230 kilometers achieved by Christopher

Michael Massey in 1983. The record was set in Australia. while water ski racing. Yeah. Isn't that insane? That's red bull. Yeah. That's big fall off and you're going home in a body bag.

Yeah. Yeah. He would have been torn to his shreds. Oh, yikes. And just getting up to that speed, he must have been so strong. And there's a video of it as well. You can see the video, yeah. Get out of town.

It's something for us to watch next. Number three on the list of the top six other rules that have changed for the next America's Cup. There has to be at least one member of the crew with an eye patch and a peg leg. That feels fair Because how do we know It's a boat? Exactly It needs more pirate representation

Number two on the list of the top six Other rules I'd have put in place With the America's Cup Treasure maps They don't go round that thing at the end They have to stop the boat Jump off, dig up a treasure Then get back

What's in the treasure Like necklaces and goblets Goblets It's always goblets Always goblets And yet I don't I don't have a lot of goblets In my house

No because they're always They're all in trunks buried in the Caribbean waiting for pirates. Haven't been looking. And number one on the list of the top six other rules that have put in place to the America's Cup. There needs to be at least a four-part singing harmony sea shanty going at all times.

At all. Yes. Love it. Yeah, I totally agree. I actually agree. I'm on board with all of these. I think it'd just make it more interesting watching. I think more people would watch. Yeah, they're more interesting than just sticking a woman on board. And going real fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That is the next upson. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Okay, there is a workplace. There is a workplace in Singapore and a workplace in Thailand. Okay. That are adopting, that are adopting this new type of leave. I will say the company in Singapore's,

the company name needs work, and actually, Vaughn, you could get in here. Yeah. Because you're good at naming companies and whatnot to make sure that they're not inappropriate. Yep. Companies called gush cloud. What do they do?

Shannon, please be... What do they do? Shannon. Fishing the buttons and really being immature about us. Global creator management and influencer marketing. Gush cloud. Gosh cloud. Do you know what I mean?

I would have just shopped that about. Anyway, these companies, the leave that they have introduced in addition to your sick leave, your annual leave, your bereavement leave. and your maternity leave and you're like, I'm hung over, can't be bothered today leave? Yeah.

How many of those days? I think that's sick days. Oh, is that sick days? That's just where you have to pretend to be sick. I've been writing them off for something else. Okay. It's Tinder leave. Okay.

Tinder leave. It's basically a wellness leave, like a, you know, I suppose like... Personal? Personal, a personal day. But it's in its own category, so you wouldn't have to take any annual leave or sick leave to do this.

Tinder leave that they've got. Time off provided for an employee for the sole purpose of going on a date and pursuing a romantic relationship, particularly via a dating app. Getting out there aims to encourage employees to take time off to build meaningful social connections outside of work because, of course, in a lot of places, particularly in Asia,

Asia, sorry, I'm pronounced that wrong. Yep. It is a hard Z. It is, Asia. Asia. The birth rates are down. They're so low. And so they're really encouraging people to, yeah, Japan especially.

Japan especially, Hong Kong, the number of unmarried persons is skyrocketing, you know, the trend of marriage postponement or non-marriage over the last few years, breaking tradition. Maybe love is dead. And they're thinking love is dead. Wait till they find out you don't have to have a baby

every time you have sex. Wait till they find out, there's all sorts of means and mechanisms to make sure that you actually actively don't. Wait till they find out not everybody on Tinder's, you know, end game is marriage and babies. I say the majority of people on Tinder, the end game is actually not marriage and marriage.

babies. It's sort of wearing you now in the next 30 minutes. Shock horror. So they also, it's just in general they want it to have like more, not only to sort of like, hey, can you meet people so that we can get some more bad ass coming out, but also creating great work-life balance and just going, you know what, today I'm not going to come into work. I would just tell everybody I've got a Tinder date on Friday and then take the day off and have a long weekend.

Long weekend at the beach with your mates. Yeah, and then just go away with your friends. And they'll be like, how was it? They'd be like, not for me. Nah, but of an odd fit. They chewed with their mouth. And that was unacceptable to me. And that was a, yeah, couldn't deal with it.

But for us, though, would we have to say to Ross the date is 6 a.m? You know? It's a brunch, it's a breakfast date. Because we can go on a Tinder date after work. Yeah, we've got the day. We can do most things after work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We can actually live a whole life after work. So we'd have to say to Ross, hey, I'm going to take my Tinder leave Friday. Yep, 6 a.m. Where I'll be meeting him for a protein shake. and to watch the sunrise before making a baby to help repopulate the world. Yeah, perfect.

ZM's Fletch, Ron and Hayley. Now, Haley, you were away yesterday, but Uber yesterday released their naughty and nice list and the average Uber ratings around the country. Okay. And this is timely because a study has come out

showing that when Uber drivers receive a warning about low ratings, they improved quickly. Like, they drove more smoothly, they speed less, they handled their phone less and picked up and dropped off riders more accurately. Do you reckon... So it actually does matter

because I'm always like any Uber eats, any you know like... Rides. Hustle economy rating. I'm always like five. I do five, same. People are hustling.

Really? I'm not... Every day they're hustling. They're hustling. Every day they're hustling. I'm just like, do five always. I always do five if it was a fine ride and I don't care.

They don't need to impress me to get a five. No. But if they drive, like I've had a couple, particularly I find in Melbourne. Any time I'm in Melbourne, I'll get in there.

Remember there was a guy that fell asleep a couple of times? That's why he was driving. Okay, I'd rate that a one. Because you're going to get a one. But again, this is, this is this, you gave a three. You gave a three?

He fell asleep. He could have killed you. Hey, I still got to my brother's house. You know what I mean? Like I was there. He's hustling. He's hustling. But yeah, apparently it does matter

because then they will react. Yeah, yeah. Respond accordingly. Respond accordingly. Okay, so yesterday, because I didn't listen to the show. I'm not a huge fan. You know, it's not really for me. Well, you had a personal day.

You're outside of Target demo. You're a bit old. Wow. That hurt more than I wanted it to. I knew exactly what I was doing, wielding that sword too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the average Uber rating in New Zealand? Well, at different regions.

The national average was 4.8. Yes. Eight. Homobotli. I knew you'd be the lowest of all of us. Yeah, 4.86, come a menace. No, you're higher than me on 4.83, remember? The vomit. The vomit got, because it wasn't my vomit.

It wasn't your vomit. Didn't do it, I cleaned the vomit up. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm not mad at 4.86. I reckon given my menace behavior and some of the conversations I've had in the back of us before. I'm a 4.93. Remember when you said something? Which is equivalent to denoting our original.

That was my over. What happened? Do you remember when I send that message to Haley about the vicious brows? About the eyebrows? we got in the back of an Uber and I opened my phone and it was Fletch and I was like what do you mean, vicious eyebrows?

I looked at it and it just kicks me and then I see in the rearview mirror the brows unlike any others I've ever seen before but having to gossip about the driver. Fick. Yeah, Haley read out the message but again, 4.93 can't have affected my rating.

Are you 4.93? Yeah, I'm just a better class citizen. He is. He is. He's the Dunedin of the show because they had a better rating didn't they? DeNedon was the national higher average. Yeah, which is bizarre

right, but I think all the students walk home because they can't afford to Uber. Yeah, yeah, and it's just the rich sort of villa owners that take over those. Yeah, pretty much. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. God, this made me chuckle. This was a bit of a sort of agony aunt right into the New York Times.

Yeah. You know, send in a question and someone with probably not that much sort of backing answers it for you. Yeah. The thing they mess was I recently started dating a man funny and bright. His lifestyle preferences are aligned with mine. We love splitting our time between New York,

the country and the beach. Oh, it must be nice. That combo is hard to find these days. The problem on our third date. He showed up wearing the tightest white jeans, too much cologne and he had gel in his hair. Now I appreciate that some people

may like this vibe, but it's just not for me that is a dating hard no. And now I just have such an image of almost, you know when you see men and they're wearing a jigging, it's almost a jigging. We can't even call it a gene, it's so tight, it's a jigging. And they've got a little, like that really like wet gel here. I'm like, babes, I get this.

Now, obviously the person at New York Times was like, stop being so shallow. Yeah. Your call values align, and this person makes you very happy. But I was laughing in the image of the tight jeans being her hard dating, no. Especially white tight, tight jeans. White jeans.

White jeans, full stop. No, no, no, no, no, I think you can, oh, on a man. White jeans on a man. I think if you're worn on a man, they have to be baggy. Or like a 90s style. Like a linen white. Linen, off cream. Yeah, like in summer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not a gene. No, that's a white hand. That's a white hand. That's almost a chino. That's a chino slack. And you're going to be teaming that up with a business bro puffer vest and sort of a shirt on top. Now we've got a Luke going.

But for her, she was like the moment she says the man in these like skin tight, let's say, jiggings. No, yeah. She's like, I'm out, I'm out. So I want to know this morning, what is your hard know when it comes to dating? And maybe it is just,

maybe you are someone that is, like this woman as well, triggered by smell. And every time they come over, they've given themselves 10 squirts. And you're like, that's too much. Yeah. Someone walks in a room

and it hits the back of your throat. This might be controversial, but I'm brave enough to say it. Okay. I won't date Nazis. No. What if they were really hot? I actually really don't know I regret that.

I just won't. Snappy dresses, but I want. Yeah, I just want. I don't believe in what they stand for. You must have some hard nose though. You would have some hard nose. I mean, obviously there's like, don't be a chauvinist. Do you know what I mean?

Like, that would be a hard no for me. Yeah. I reckon if a guy was like turned out and was completely clean shaven. This is me. You'd be like, no. He could be really hot and you'd be like, no. Do you know my hard dating no? Really?

Well groomed. like seriously so you like more of a homeless a homeless shaggy shabby bonus points for facial tattoos you know the beard we're going to have a bit of a rough and tumble there right yeah if a date turned up

and he was clean shaven slick hair perfect teeth veneers perhaps and had a nice shirt on an achino well fancy that I know and he would be like everyone's prince charming and I'd be like

no it's my heart no I'm sorry you look like you just showered You just showered, like that's a bad thing. Ooh, yuck, sorry. That's what most people would love. Oh, someone just texted. Really? A man who crosses his legs.

Oh, when they sit and they cross their legs. Wait, do you mean on the floor, like if you're on the mat at school? No, no, I think she means like sitting in her seat and like having a leg. Oh, sometimes I'll cross a leg. I quite like a cross leg on a gentleman. Yeah, it's class. It's giving money. It's dating.

of dates. Great. They've morals a line, everything's great, bright, happy, cheerful but he does wear very skinny white jeans, too much cloned and hair gel. And that's their hard nose. Yeah, okay.

It's the homosexual loophole. Yeah. Okay, who have we got? Hannah. Hannah, what is your hard dating no? Um, hard-bating no would be two failed marriages under your belt already. Or more, or more. Two more, two plus.

So you'll accept one because that's, because one for a lot of people over 30, that would be most people. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, I'm 33 and I feel like one, it's okay, there could have been something wrong for them, but two, it's like, what's wrong with you? Yeah, yeah. Three, we're now going, it's you. You're the problem. I'm doing it. Have you had any failed marriages, Hannah?

together. I left about five years ago and we hadn't cut ties completely yet. It's like dancing around. Right. God, I could just spend the morning talking to Hannah trying to unpack this. Thicker feelings on his end than yours by the sounds of things. Yeah, I ended the one on my end. Right.

So do you doubt, okay, we're off topic here. Hannah, do you date other people? I have, yeah. I had a partner for a year and a half and he actually left to move to Aussie like last week. Oh, okay, well that's going to clear it. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

You get the feeling of Hannah and her husband are still having sex. Okay, thank you. All right, bye Hannah. Thank you. Yeah, she didn't. She didn't deny. Haley, you really got a lot of goss, don't you? Fritty relationship, I like it.

Yeah, and they love a roundup. They love Swedish Rounding. Six foot in a quarter? That's ick, actually. If someone said that to me, how tall you? I'm six foot in one quarter. Don't worry about it hon. I went on a first day with a tall, good-looking bearded hunk.

He turned up in denim jeans, denim shirt, denim jacket and cowboy boots. Oh my God. Full denim. And that's the ick? That's the ick. Chuck us the number. Tall-bearded man and head-toe denim and cowboy boots? Non-branded jeans are a hard note.

What a snort? Ford loves us cotton on. I love you. I love my cotton on gene. Yeah. Weren't you just saying you need to buy some jeans? I do need to buy some new jeans. You just have to cotton on.

If there's no label, like if it's not a proper flash, you've spent hundreds of dollars on jeans. Levi's or a sousy or something. Then you're out. Men rolling the cuffs over their jeans, I don't want to see your ankles. They yuck. So it seems to be ankles, exposed ankles. Okay. I kind of agree, though.

The sock or the pants. should cover the ankle. Now, our first text her in who said when men cross their legs, it's because when they cross their legs, she can see the sort of bulge of their crushed package. Right, and she doesn't want it crushed?

She's like, why you're mincing that? Yeah, right. It's the thought of the mince jenny's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Puts her off, not the feminine way of... Mintz genies. Someone texts in long, skinny, creepy fingers. Fletch, you've got quite thin, long...

You don't like the small cars on the lads. No, I don't. It's got to be a yute all the way. Got to be a yute. Deep down, Roanne, do you think there might be a bit of lesbian blood coursing through your veins? Sort of a yute. No, no, definitely not lesbian.

Okay, what about... What about a man in a sporty car? Because at the moment, Vaughn, you're driving a Mustang. Does that do it for you? A classic Mustang, yeah, a good B-A. Oh, it's brand-new. It's a brand-new Mustang. Brand-new.

Curb Pears, though. What about a van? Like a high ace. No, I definitely not. No. Really? Not even a van. Ute's specific.

Okay, you. I've got a favourite sort of Ute? No, no, just as long as it's more of a, you know, like we're a rough and ready, we're ready to go on the outdoors. Oh, we can't have a clean Ute. Yeah, what if it's a clean, like, really nicely presented city Ute. No, no. Not for you.

No, no. No, no. You must love a trader. You must love when the tradies turn up. I'm definitely on the tradie. You know. You're a tradie later. On the tradies spectrum.

Yeah. Just on full trading. Thanks to you call some messages. Cricky Galee and Louise has messaged in. Nobody likes a perfumed, boar drenched. Oh, boy, do you think? Likes a perfumed boy drenched in bad Calvin Klein scent. But some blokes do have a distinctly sour,

smell that comes out of their neck. That's pheromones, though, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might smell it differently to somebody else. You're not having a... I discovered my hard, no, unfortunately, it's a little too late. I'm fully committed in a relationship, and my partner has unfortunately discovered laboos.

Ew, what? You're kidding me? If they're manky teeth, that's a nob, and also, they're not allowed to be prettier than me. Some of his message, sir. Sysmen is my dating arc? I mean, that's fair. You know what I'm kind of enough.

We've just had just about half of them. Does cis men have a history? God. We've done some of the most abhorrent things you can. You really have. You can mark down to humanity. I still like it. Long toes is someone's hard.

No. Oh, that's me out. He's got long toes. I've got long toes. But wait, what if... You know what that means, though? You can peel a banana. Big shoes.

Big toe shoes. So when he gets those toe shoes, he has to get custom-made ones. Yeah, yeah. For his long toes. Patchy beards. Someone said, if you can't grow a full beard, don't grow one. Yep.

No socks with dress shoes is rank. Oh, yeah, that is rank. That's rank. who had really long toenails. It wasn't it? I felt like I was in bed with Edward Scissorfeet. Not bad.

It's very good. Not bad at all. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. So there's been some research done into how Gen Zs and millennials handle concerts. Now, it turns out that 51%

of millennials will stay for an encore of a show. Many half. Whereas Gen Z's 39. percent of Gen Zs leave early just to get the transport options. Oh, wow. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, let's get going, let's

leave now. That's got big mum energy, not Gen Zs. I know that. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. That's what my parents do. Our resident Gen Zs, do you skip the encore? I don't think I actively do, but I would like the idea of it. If there's a sports game, yeah, I'm out.

There is no encore in sports. I mean, sports games, they can be, you can look at a sports game and be like, oh, it's 84, 10, let's go. You see that happen all the time. Yeah, I'm out of that. But sometimes if it's like 18 all, you're not leaving until the very last whistle.

No, no, no, no. I always say if you go to a sports game, like, I go to a Waz game. Yep, people are getting up to leave. I'm like, where are you going? They could launch a comeback. They're like, Vaughn, they're down 36 points to four in this two minutes going.

Guys, guys, stop, stop. Yeah. But like, a concert, you're always getting the best song last. Yeah, Kowen, did you leave Taylor Swift early? Oh my gosh, no. I think they told us to leave, I stayed that long. Like, they were like pushing us physically, like, go, go, go. No, I don't think I've ever left, oh, you know what.

I did go to Luke Holmes, maybe Luke Holmes and I didn't stay for the encore, but it was so loud that I could hear it as we were leaving the stadium. I think if it's an artist that's not, like, top tier for you, I'd consider leaving. There's this amazing website, setlist.fm, and it always lists the set lists of, you know, every artist, every band and you can always have that open on your phone

during a concert to see when the best time is to go wheeze like maybe it's a song you don't like and then they pretty much always when a band is touring pretty much always stick to the same set list so you can see what songs are going to be in the encore and if you don't like them you can just leave it is boomer behavior though because when I was in

Europe with my parents they went off to Bruce Springsteen one night at a stadium there's 75,000 people and it was sold out and so you're going your lead in a tiny little place to try to all get the ubers to get out of there. I think they left with a few songs to go. Big boomer behavior. More research from the study into how millennials and Gen Z tackle concerts differently.

The day after attending a live music event, 56% of millennials feel tired and worn out. Only 41% of Gen Z feel fresh and energized. Before a concert, a quarter of Gen Z take a nap. Do you pre-concert nap? Yeah, we love a pre-concert nap and an energy drink. Yeah, I mean, we have to in this job, don't we? Yeah, and then it says...

And then it says, while a third of millennials enjoy an energy drink to prep for the night ahead. Yeah, whereas our way was like have too much drinks, you know, too many drinks, and then sort of spoil the concert. Well, I think a lot of Gen Zs don't drink at concerts now. A lot of my friends will just not. Oh, have like one. Yeah, it's a bit.

You're going to get the train. If you drink too much, you could constantly go to the toilet and you could be missing your favourite song. I only do if I don't care as much about the band. Like one republic, it was the best amount of my life. You got too drunk, didn't you? You don't remember some of that. A bit bit hazy at the end.

Well, yeah, I'd get the tray of four. And then when I do need to pay, because that's too much liquid, I just go and fletch the men's. Because there's no line, because there's no line. I reckon I'm having every concert with been at. Sorry, so you just say sorry you go in. It's a little bit of a laugh. Yeah, but you're still missing some songs.

And I paid for those songs. Do you know what I mean? We've broken down the cost per song. I'm not wasting $5. Yeah, this is true. Play Z-M's flip. Flaught and Haley. Silly little pole, silly little pole.

It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole today is which is your dominant hand? Left or right or I'm ambidextrous. You guys are both ambidextrous. Not fully ambidextrous. different hands for different tasks but not like I can't write with my left as well as I can write with my right nah but then what stuff do you do left-handed

it's not the time do you know what I mean that's a private conversation for off here that's between friends you too but me too I'm left-handed and yet I'm right-handed yeah I'm right-handed but yet I'm left-handed yeah in that regard just feels like it's someone else anyway but it's so I'm left-handed

I just don't get the right nothing about the rhythm of the angle you too the rhythm on the angle I was on tenor tennis. What do you play? Genuinely, I'm left-handed, but most sports I'll do right-handed. And then if I pick up a guitar, I'll do that right-handed, but if I play drums, I play them left-handed.

Weird. Okay. And then painting left and right, ambidextrous. What? But brushing my teeth left. See, if I was painting left, it'd be all over the show. Yeah, yeah, I know. Yeah. Because I had to buy, because I've had

shoulder surgery, so I had to buy an electric toothbrush on Sunday because I was like trying to brush my teeth and it was like, oh, with your right hand, yeah, yeah, yeah. With my left hand, I was doing it, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you usually brush it with your right. Yeah, it just takes a while for those, like, motor skills to develop. Yeah.

We also said if you are, so the stats, obviously, overwhelmingly right. Yeah, 85% of people said they're right-handed, 12% said they're left-handed, and 4% claim ambidextrousity. Yeah, and we then said, if you are left-handed, what's the worst thing about it? Because I don't think people are even aware that this world is not made. for us. Scissors? Scissors are not made for us. You have to get special left-handed scissors.

And writing on the whiteboard, right? Oh, you smudge it straight off, don't you? You just write it and rub it off. Yeah, with that's the way. I do love how left-handed people write it. It looks so cool. Have to have the hand up the thing. Yeah. Alvary own Georgia Burt responded as a fellow lefty. I'm using a can opener. I've legitimately broken every single can opener. Yeah. Because you had no idea she was left-handed. Right. Explain so much. Right, no, it's a big vibe, eh?

Yeah. You just find out someone's a lefty, like, yes. How would you swing an axe? Oh, because I didn't even know that was a right or left. Like that? Yeah. What's that? No, that's how I'd... Right on top.

I saw somebody like... Oh, yeah, and then you were... Hackhanding it the other day, and I was like that. That's not right. Yeah, okay. Smudging ink on the page after finishing a beautifully written birthday card is the worst thing about being left-handed, says Jade. Yeah. Inkipen's not our friends.

No. I'm trying to cut a straight line with right-handed scissors, says Paya. It goes like that, and it kind of goes all jagged. It's really hard, guys. Snips would be your, snips would be your bud, though, eh? What's a snip? Like those spring-loaded, because they're kind of the same. It's not pins.

Pinsers, but I'm not cutting paper with pincers. Pinsers grab. Snips cut. But I'm thinking of snips. You know the best scissors to cut cardboard, mum sewing scissors. God, man. She'll be pissed on.

She'll be so mad, but she won't know, she's at work. She will know because they'll be blunt. She's got to they're on with the Wi-Fi now She knows the minute they open Mally says Knives being serrated on one side Usually for right-hand use Wonky carrots and cheese is not my fault

Oh yeah How interesting I never thought about that When they just had that little bit on the one side Eh Nicola says a lower mortality rate Yeah I remember this Like that you die sooner as a left-handed

And I can't remember it was because of the accidents from a living in a right-handed world. Right. Or if it was because most insane people are left-handed as well, aren't they? Left-handed people die on average nine years before their right-handed counterpart. Peace out, guys. Peace out with a big left-handed piece-out. Well, you have to make the most of this time.

We've got to car pay DM, guys. I'm not around for long. Yeah. Okay. That's carpe your DM. I mean, I don't think you need to carpe any more DM. You can't pay probably too much, DM. Man, I can't pay so hard.

So much DM. Every DM. I'm car paying. Robbie said wearing a watch and having the buttons on the wrong side. Oh, that would suss. When you get an Apple Watch, you can set up. They're like, are you...

And you switch it around? Yeah, what hand do you wear it on? But on a diver's watch? No, on an old-school traditional watch. So you could wear the Apple Watch upside down. Yeah. Yeah. Because I think technically I do.

I can change it to a different. Being put next to a righty in school and you're just constantly bumping arms when you're riding on desks beside each other. I'm having to take my guitar everywhere I go because no one has a left-handed guitar. I bet he hates it. You've just got to learn the right one. I bet he hates that.

Oh, guys, you know, I've got to carry this thing everywhere in case I need to play it. I suppose we'd bust out Wonderwall. Yeah. What was the one from the Barbie movie? Um, creak. Matt Chucks 20. Push. Push.

I just So I'm going away this weekend I'm in Hastings I was just looking at where I'm performing Toy Toi Opera House Look at that guys That's me

That's fancy Oh wow That's real nice That's nice That's nice Very nice A little old me Well if you want to see me

Anyone in Hawks Bay Haylesprow dot com for tickets She's got a website She's got a little plug in there That's right She's got a website Yeah yeah I'm really excited Still tickets available.

You always had to open the bloody top circle. Oh. And what a view. Harsh. You'd be able to look purve down my top. I don't think it's that high. It's high, but it's bad. And if you're not enjoying this show, at least you'll be on whoop, have a look right down.

See some hungas. Yeah. So anyway, I'm away this weekend, and I'm unorganized. This may surprise you. I have been known to be a tornado of sorts. So yesterday, I realized that I need to sort. Rollie, Rolly needs to get fed.

And I was like, who's in sort of nearby? Yep. And I was like, I'll get Vaughn to do it, even though Rolly does have some disdain towards you. Actively dislikes. He doesn't like you, doesn't. He doesn't. So that's going to be.

And then you were like, oh, I'll put it in my calendar. Yeah. And so I'll get a reminder on Sunday morning. Yeah. To pop around and feed the cat. Yeah, but just what I feel like, the reason Rolly doesn't like Vaughn is because he doesn't stick to the schedule. And Vaughn doesn't honour the schedule.

So when I say I need you to feed him on Saturday night and Sunday morning Well no hold on there was never a Saturday night there was only a Sunday morning No you didn't because I put in my thing you heard it once Saturday morning Now we've doubled the amount of times I've got to array on I said to you Saturday morning I think you need to find someone on an app or something there's apps you can use Oh I'm not getting a grinder hookup No grind is not for cat pet feeding That would be a funny tender tender hookup I just need someone to feed my cat

Because you set the circle real small. Can you feed Raleigh sat night Sunday morning? Did you say that? Of course you said, I said a reminder. But then I was like, well, you need to say a reminder that he gets fed at 6pm Saturday night, 9 p.m for his snack on Saturday night. I'm not going back on 7 a.m. on Sunday morning. But he gets a snack. You're going to add his schedule.

Go to the show. Go to the show sponsor. And mates. And get the spinny cat thing. But Rolly's high maintenance. Yeah. It's about the human connection. He needs the human connection.

Okay. So you're going to be, that's three visits. You just need to pop there. And can you grab Nana's Rubab while you're there? Yeah, I'll grab Nana's Rubel. But I'm not going, just to clarify, I'm not going twice on Saturday night. So Raleigh goes without shnan. Where, we're, we're going to say I'm studying the Pirates of the Caribbean this weekend.

I can't be nipping out. It's wild. And even Captain Jack Sparrow on, I'm paused to feed your cat at 9 p.m. It's wild that you feed your cat and then have a snack. That's ridiculous. We implemented it when we first arrived and now we can't remove it or he just loses a shit. Anyway, so you can do that. pick up nana's rhububb while you're there.

Feed, because that's dead. God, I'd love to help out, but, you know, after my shoulder surgery, I'm, you know, I'm mobile. Well, the other thing I was going to, I was noticing last night. Oh, wait, it's not over yet. No, it's not. I can't, so because I, yesterday I was in Fokatani,

today I'm going to Wellington. Over the weekend, I'm doing my show in Hawks Bay, hailey.sprail for tickets. Dot com. Halelysprow.com. I need to pick up my prescription for my anxiety medication. And I'm going to need you to swing. pass. I'll do it for a chip tax.

I'm going to need you to swing past the pharmacy and grab that. I don't know if chip tax works on anti-anxity nerds. I'll give you a tray. I'll give you a tray out of the box. Wow. Are you getting me? A little tray? Listen, last night I couldn't sleep and my mind was

racing. I was like, oh, this is why I run out and I haven't picked up my prescription, but I just don't have the time born and you live nearby. Are you allowed to pick up someone else's prescription? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can say, what am I? What do I good need? Do I need the paper? No, no, you can just go in. I could walk in and just know someone in the area

was due for a prescription fill and say their name and get their prescription. Yeah? I wouldn't do that at the other show sponsor. Kimmiss Warehouse. Thanks to Kimmiss Warehouse. I ran to Kimmiss Warehouse and find 40% off the Huggies range. Yeah, we'll go in.

Well, that's my job. Please don't do my John. Also, they're literally the show sponsor. You're going to go and they're going to be like, it's Vaughn Smith. You just have to go in and be like, hi, I'm here to pick up Haley's prescription. Yeah. And also, can you give, slime me out one of those tabs. Yeah.

I'll pop that box right open for me. Good, your boys are so helpful. Wait, so when am I doing that? I'm here to help, absolutely. Well, you've actually, because I'm going to need you to do that today. I'm going to need them tomorrow. What are you doing today? I'm going to Wellington.

Are you going to be back tomorrow? Yeah. Oh, okay. No, no, you'll have to pop around tomorrow night because I arrived back in Auckland tomorrow night. And Fletch, you haven't let me down either because I've got conjunctiveitis. So you gave me your eyedrops because my eyes were dry this morning. So look, the boys are doing my life at them.

So I can go in any time to a farm. I just never pick up a prescription. Unless it's literally. straight from the doctor to the pharmacy. They've given to be precautionary antibiotics that I'm definitely not going to take because I will not be responsible for a superbug. You literally go in and while you're there, because, chemist warehouse, you know, I need my butt pimple stuff.

I'm not getting that. Everyone always asks me, Sarah V. I've done it before. How did we all just end up running your life? Chemist Weirhouse, get my prescription, get some seravie for my butt acne, feed my cat, grab Nana's rhubarb. Okay. Could you scrub the deck roof?

No, yeah, well, it depends how much it irritates me when I see it. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and how. We want to talk right now about your free-range childhoods because now we're living in a generation. What do they call it? The bloody bubble-wrapped generation when we're sort of over-protecting our kids and we're not letting them do all these things.

Whereas we were willy-nilly, bloody driving tractors and whatnot. There was a great thread on Reddit where people were just sharing the rogue stuff that they used to do when they were kids. It was wild times, eh? Yeah, absolutely. Like now it just wouldn't happen these days. Yeah, totally.

parents purposely bought a house on a dead end street for this reason. I'd go out on my bike and see who else was out to play, just hang out various yards, basements, or in the street it's just hang out basements, make-up games, hitting balls into cars with tennis racket, someone would yell car as soon as you heard something, you'd run.

Like, I just love this. Grew up in the country, we didn't even have street lights, the sign to come home was when the coyotes would start howling. Oh, wow. Wow, okay, so obviously that one from America. That's from America. Yeah. We've already started getting texts in from... I love this.

With a good New Zealand tang to them. Love that term as well. Free Range childhoods. Yeah, it's just that thing. Mine was always... It was just home by dark. There was no cell phone.

So home by dark. And they, my parents had to know who you were with, but not what you were doing. We were, when we were in Wellington, we saw those kids fishing. Do you remember that? Oh my God. And we were just like, I think we talked about it on air.

We were just like, it was so weird to see... No parents inside. No parents. And they were just like, heads on a mission fishing. It felt real 90s. Yeah, you know, and in the Wellington, not viaduct, the Wellington Harbour,

waterfront, there's those little like gated off, fenced off holes, right? Where you can look down into the thing. They were fishing off there. And then when it wasn't good enough, they were just jump in the fence, man, they were leaning in, we were watching being like, I think Fletch and I are the parents here. We kept looking around and be like, oh, Fletch.

Yeah, we're the adults, we've got to keep watching. Same, but they were saying, but they were saying, what we did, you just go on a mission somewhere. And then he hooked a fish. Bourne, you would have loved it, hooked a fish, and they were so excited. He was running. Yeah, it was great. Some messages in, I mean, we'll get the ball rolling.

My free range childhood is walking down the railway line to the swimming hole. Okay, we'll just say there have been some concerns lately with people walking on the railway tracks. Okay, they have been not doing that. Yeah, it is illegal. Yeah, face a big fine. I believe they're for trains. But we walked down the railway line to the swimming hole.

It was the most direct route. Dad worked in the mine, so we knew the train times, and it would tell us where we were all good. We didn't have watches. We just knew what time it was. by the train. Yeah. All under the age of 10. Good old West Coast.

Yeah. Spend all day down at the swimming hole. I love this one of, I'd literally just go days without checking them with my parents and bounce between friends' houses over summer. And then like a couple of days later you'd be like, hey. I'm alive. Yeah, I'm alive.

Yeah, I need a fresh t-shirt. Yeah, yeah. Back out. Yeah. I used to leave my house at like 10 p.m. 10 p.m. age 12. Get home at 6 a.m.

before dad would go to get up for work. No one never noticed. It was pretty loose. What were you doing? So they were just sneaking out and just gallivanting all evening. Gallivanting, yeah, probably doing some spray paint. River all day. As a small Hawks Bay town girl, we went to the river all day swimming. Ealing, there wasn't a parent inside.

They went ealing. Yeah, but it had a rope swing probably. Home by dark, that was the only rule. Yep. This is what we want to know this morning. 0800 dance at Em is a number. You can text in as well, 9-6-96. Tell us your stories from your free-range childhood.

Well, people have been sharing online examples of their free-range child The stuff they used to do that, it just wouldn't happen now. No. Too much technology. I look at it would. It's just got to be encouraged again. Yeah, yeah, totally. No, turn off the Wi-Fi.

Here and see, you never just let your kids, like, leave the house and just roam all over town. You let's us the abductions, and then we can get back to this way of living. Yeah, I know, but we didn't post about them on social media, so we didn't know. My free around childhood was on the West Coast, day spent down the bank, which was the bottom of a gully, building hearts down at the whirlpool. at the river and driving a Suzuki around. We were 10. I was going to say, you don't have a license, finish the sentence. Yeah, but

we had to be going from one property to another where we're allowed on the road, but it wasn't forever. Ron had no idea. We just had to be home for lunch and dinner. And sometimes we'd take a lunch so we didn't have to come home for it. Amazing. I wonder if anyone from Wellington will text in, I don't know if you guys would have ever done this, but to get to

Hatai Tai Tai from town, you either went the long way or you could cut through the bus tunnel, which was a one-way type tunnel. for the bus. You'd never do that. And we used to do that. Just to be like, we need to get to so-and-so's house.

It'd be like, okay, go and you just bogged down the tunnel and hope that a bus wasn't coming. I think every area has something like that. In Hamilton it was a train bridge. Yeah, we're just like, go. Stand by me, baby. Yeah.

Remember that movie when the train starts coming and they've got to run? Yeah, you've got to. Oh, there's so many good ones. I grew up on sheep and beef farms, horse riding all around the district with our friends from dawn till dark. Sometimes after dark, a couple of moms

weren't impressed with that. Frequently came home with orphan lambs strapped to our saddles, right in the farm four wheelers, scorny little 10-year-olds, hooning around paddocks, trying to do jumps on things definitely not built to do jumps, building rafts out of drenched drums and tube tires. They didn't float that well, and the dams were gross, but man, we had a good time.

Do you reckon this counts as a free-range childhood? I was lactose intolerant, no one gave a shit. Do you know what I mean? We only care about that stuff now. We're like, say, my child doesn't eat X, X, Y, Z. Yeah. Because the kids that were lactose and tolerating. I would just have a massive thick shake and then just have to take a shit in a bush.

Take a shit in a bush and be like, that's just like, that's just bratty. They just get through Brad, record pace. That's milky Brad. Brad's like, I'm light and ready to roll again. You guys are all full of milkshake. And my friends used to spend weekends

making forts in the woods by golf courses and then we'd shoot grumpy golfers with pine cones from hunting slingshots. We had camouflage. We had ammo stations. We had rations and everything. Best weekends in my childhood. Amazing.

My boyfriend used to leave my place on foot on a side. Sunday night from Ramarama, that's south, south, south, Auckland heading towards Hamilton. And hitch and walk all the way to Tiata too. Now that's West Auckland. That's a huge journey. Wow. Sacra bleh.

Oh, no. People are texting and saying that a lot, you see a lot of kids in Wellington doing the fishing there. Oh, good. I think kids are into fishing. Well, because you've got lovely Haley and Fletch up at the bar having a cockitale. We'll keep an eye on you. We're keeping an eye on, you, kids. We'll move when we're needed.

Yeah. Climbing trees, taking ice cubes and banana skins, watching out for cars to drop the skins and ice in front of the car to see if the car would skit out and do circles like a cartoon. Imagine driving and you'd see a banana pill flop on the road in front of you. A classic one, stealing fruit from neighbours. You remember you just, they'd always have fruit trees. We'd say that with Fijos and you have big Fijoa fights.

Or like challenge each other to eat a lemon. Eat a whole lemon. When I was about seven years old, a group of our friends, we'd just go exploring all day, up and down the railway lines. Lots of people commuting by railway line Into the bush, getting hoo-hoo grubs That we'd cook over a fire later Back for lunch, out till dinner

My dad was the local cop So that, you know Oh, you're all good Find us, give us a hiding And set us on our way again Hanging on to the back of the Hittai T bus While riding a skateboarder rollerblades Oh my God, you know

All right, Tony Hawk Come, sheepers, creepers Oh yeah and how your parents used to make you walk home from school Even if it was two kilometres away Even if it was raining, still had to walk, and then she'd just get home, get in the bath. Yep. When I was seven or eight years old.

We used to go and playing the caves in Christchurch. Parents wouldn't have known where we were and couldn't have cared less. You wouldn't have do that now. They all got destroyed by the earthquakes. Oh, yeah, of course. Good thing you went in there. Yeah.

We used to play cricket with rotten apples in the middle of the street, make a hell of a mess. Oh, that would, like, explode. Yeah, gross. No signs of helmets in here. You used to ride my horse to the dairy for an ice cream. It took over an hour one way. That's good.

It does get the horse out of the house, get the horse some exercise. You're out of the house, your little treat halfway. You turn around, you come back. Me and my siblings grew up on a farm. Used to play on top of three stacked high silage bales. If one of us dropped a shoe or an item of clothing between the bales, we used to just rip some of the green plastic off, tie around someone's waist and lower them down so they collect their lost item.

Those things weigh our time too. Don't be doing that. Oh my God, that's crazy. Oh my God, fun. Playing in unfinished subdivisions and houses being built on time. One time a friend stepped on a nail and had to call my dad to come and pick us up and take to the doctor.

That was the end of those days. Love these stories. I know. Bring it back. Oh my God. Grew up on a farm. Did all the things that you guys are talking about

with my older brothers and cousins and they would roll up moss and smoke it. There was always something. Ours was toy toy. Te bags. People would toy, you know, the toy toy, the white thing you'd roll it up.

I don't know because you're a dickhead kid and you were just like, I don't know. Te bags. Roll up tea bags with some, like, if you can find papers or something. Oh my God. I also regretts of tea bags, bro.

That's so shy. Yeah. Play ZDem's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. Play ZDM's Fleshworn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Ah, do-d-d-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-doo-d-d-doo-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do. Today's fact of the day is chocolate. week here at fact of the day

Hello chocolate love Fletch Imagine saying that to someone As you were making love Just to throw them Like hey and you're like hello chocolate lover Like if you are chocolate Like coloured and you say it to like a white boy

Oh he would love it He would love it You're like oh my god you're so beautiful And you say hello chocolate lover Oh my god Okay you're try that I sure am Yeah

All right chocolate ice ice cream ice cream is older than vanilla ice cream. It's the day's factory. No, because chocolate ice cream's just chocolate added into vanilla ice cream. I'm afraid not. I'm afraid not. I'm afraid not, Haley. I'm afraid not. In Europe during the 1600s and 1700s, ice cream was flavoured with what was available to them and fashionable at the time.

Cinnamon ice cream. The cream is vanilla flavoured? No, it's not. It's ice cream. It's plain, yeah. Vanilla's vanilla. Cinnamon, coffee, passacea. and chocolate.

Oh, yum. How good's it? Pistakio, if you say it, properly in Italy. Oh, really? A pistachio. Pistakio. It's jarring to hear you say Pistakio. Yeah, Pistakio.

So chocolate arrived to Europe from the Americas in the 1500s, and then by the 1600s was quite a popular sort of indulgence, especially in Italy and Spain, where they call pistachios, Pistachio, hard seas. Vanilla, oh, like you said, is often referred to and thought of as the default. ice cream now. But no, vanilla is a flavor. It's just because it's white. It's its own flavor. Yeah. But it was so hard

to get vanilla pods. They were so hard to transport and grow and there were so few of them that it was significantly later that ice cream became vanilla flavoured. Wow. Yeah. The first known published recipe for chocolate ice cream appeared in 1692

in an Italian book called the Modern Stewart. And that was so long ago. 1692. I remember it like it was yesterday. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How did they keep a cold? Well, that was for the very, very posh. How did they keep a cold? Ice cubes.

There used to be ice-cellars. A Samsung freezer? There used to be this massive industry of shipping ice. Double-hold boats. From the cold bits of world. They'd cut up the frozen lakes or, you know, glaciers and stuff, and they'd put it in the boat, and they'd have to get it around the world. And they'd obviously lose a fair bit of cargo on the way due to melt.

because there's no freezer bins. Yeah, these areas like again double insulated areas or underground pits where they stored the ice and it kept, there was like a giant chili bin. I'm getting bonus facts here and I'm delighted by it. Because you know at the start of Frozen?

You guys seen the movie Frozen? No. The cartoon movie Frozen? You've seen Frozen? When they're cut in the ice and they put it on sleeves to take it, they harvest the ice in winter and store it for the summer months in Arendale.

Oh. And then she causes us an endless bloody winter and that's why Christoph, the guy Jonathan plays. He's in it and he's angry at this Never any winter because he trades in ice

and that's how he makes his money He's like she's costing me my business I'm just there for the pretty dresses and the big number Oh what a number It's new bills white on the mountain tonight That's why I'm there Vanilla ice cream recipes

Didn't start to show up Until the 1700s The vanilla orchids Are native to Mexico And were harder to cultivate And processed in the cacao Yeah I get chocolate from

And chocolate just arrived In Europe earlier And was turned into a fancy Frozen Delight Much earlier than vanilla What year was the first of first goody-goody gum drops? Looking here...

17603. Goodoo-Gumdrops is actually native to Asia. The Good-Gy-Gumdrops tree. Yes. So that appeared a little bit later. 1800s, maybe. Yeah.

Thought so. That unique sort of bubble gum mint colour. Yeah. Well, that can only be harvested at a certain time of the year. Yes. Of course.

The highlands of Asia. God, I love Goody-Gudy-Gum drops. It's a great ice cream. It's been a while. Yeah. I'm looking forward to summer because you've got have it in a cone from a shop. You've got to have a roll. You've got to have a rolled

tip-top ice cream. Yeah, definitely. So today's fact of the day is that chocolate ice cream is older than vanilla ice cream. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well, this is news only to those that don't have the internet, I guess. It's everywhere.

I literally just Googled Taylor Swift, and the Google page went, pah, with this big orange burst. Yep. Because overnight, it was announced that Taylor Swift has a new album. The energy in the studio between Carwin and Shannon is electric. Did you guys jump on a video call together yesterday? Yeah, yeah.

Of course we were that excited. We had a little friendship date yesterday. Carwin took me out. It was real nice. And do you know, genuine friend happens in the booth, friendship happens in the booth as well? it off air. And I think you can hear it off here. Yeah. I really feel it.

No, so all day we were together and we were like, there's no way she's announcing an album. No. She's going to prank us. It's going to be another merch. So why did you suspect that anything was going to be happening? So there was quite a few easteries throughout the day yesterday, but basically Taylor Nation, which is Taylor's account as such.

Of course. It was posting her in orange saying the new era was coming. A countdown appeared on her website. Everything changed. Everything was orange. There was a teaser for her boyfriend's podcast. They had a And we were like, that's Taylor's silhouette. I know that for sure. But the thing that Carlin and I said to each other all day yesterday is there is no way Taylor is going on her boyfriend's podcast to announce her new album and then this happened.

So I wanted to show you something. Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase. Yep. Mitt Green with TS on it. Yep. What's in it?

This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl. She did. She did. She did. She went on her boyfriend's podcast and announced. a new album. That's going to be the biggest most listening to a podcast episode in the world when that comes out. I mean

I was talking to my partner about this. The Swifties have already kind of taken over there very much a sports podcast because they do lots of like, they do a whole segment where they ask, they answer Swiftie's questions about sport. So like we're already listening to the pod but this one, the downloads.

Yeah, it's good. So when is it out? It's out tomorrow? They're saying TS 12, right? 12th studio album and it's called The Life of a Showgirl All we know right is that it's orange themed So it's just orange, everything's orange Orange and mint is kind of the line of it And there's a lot of Easter eggs from her past eras

But it seems like it's going to be a glitter pen album Now Taylor has famously said there's types of albums There's quill albums which are like Saturn and all that But glitter pen albums hopefully we're getting some bangers Oh poppy! Yeah, I'm into that And so she did actually put up a Spotify playlist yesterday where all the songs that she's included are her own songs but they're all

seemingly written by Max Martin. Now Max Martin has written the bangers like you think of like a Taylor Swift radio single He wrote up, shake in love. He's a Swedish guy, didn't he write Baby Hit me Baby one more time when he was learning English? He's written the biggest songs of all time. He's just got it, eh? He's just got the banger

tools. He's got bangers in his blood. I'm so down for that. I mean, you know I'm not a huge, you tried your best. I'm not like a crazed, Taylor Swift fan, and I know the true fans really do love her poetry albums, you know, the Dead Lovers Society of... But we need some bangers, we need bangers. We need bangers. I'm ready for some like dance music. Oh my goodness.

The internet was electric yesterday. So yes, there was a countdown on her website. Carwin had it on her TV. I had it on my laptop. We had each other on video chat. Her partner's trying to be in a meeting. We're all yapping and excited. And yeah, new album.

Okay, here are some Max Martin songs. Baby one more time, Britney Spears. Perfect. It's going to be me in sync. I kissed a girl, Katie Perry. Oh my God. So what pink. My life would suck without you, Kelly Clarkson.

California girls with Katie Perry Snoop Dog. Teenage Dream, Katie Perry. Raise your glass pink. E.T. Katie Perry. Last Friday night. So many. One more night.

Maroon 5. Blah, blah, blah. The list goes on. Insane. And yeah, Taylor Swift, shake it off. That would be his biggest Taylor Swift song, eh? Yeah, I would say so. Hopefully we get a Maroon 5 album.

I know how much everyone is. You know what? Do you want to send me into a spiral? Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. It is time. It has been agreed that we all should start microdosing delight. Our brains and bodies are not made

to handle day-to-day threats that the modern human faces. This was our primal cells face threats really. Yes. And that's why we get a rush of stress hormones and stress chemicals from the brain

because it was instant survival mode. Now we're experiencing stress day on the day on the day. Yeah. And it's flooding our body with the stress stuff. And it's no good and it exhausts you and it's just unhealthy. So to count. I got my cortisol checked once and my doctor laughed. I don't think they're supposed to laugh.

Yeah. She was like, far out. So that's fun to deal with. Okay. That sounds terrifying. Well, it's becoming a trend that you should microdose delight. Now, this isn't like strolling because that's not a healthy way of getting it. Nope.

Get a bit of exercise. a woman who's stepped forward as someone who does microdose delight she has a mini trampoline and she jumps up and down on it and sometimes she holds her dog. Oh, my breasts couldn't handle that. Absolutely not. That's not going to be any delight

just reminding me of all the wibbley bit. Knock yourself out, but doing. Yeah, perhaps she's strapped in a little more. But is it the fitness? Like she's getting that little sweat. But cardio as well and she just likes jumping on a trampoline. Are you going to make you feel like a kid, right? Yeah, yeah.

So just jump on the bed then if you don't have a mini tramp. Yeah, but you'd hit your head not. Everyone's got a high stud like you, okay? And that's actually a high stud privilege, and you need to get that checked. I have it too, you know, and we have to remember some people have a 2.4. Some people have to die. They've got a 2.4. So be careful if you've got a 2.4, don't jump on the bed.

Glimmers are the little micro moments of happiness. Oh, yes, I've heard of these. And it's about appreciating them, but also actively seeking them out. Do you know what I did? When was it? Day before yesterday? What? But I lay naked on the carpet in front of the sun.

Yark. The sun was streaming up. Why don't you do that? I got a cute little photo if you want to see my white tush. I just want to know if you're upside down, like, which way are you? No, but you just play on the back. Dick down. Dick down.

I'm dick down. Oh, no. You just flea bombs your carpet. Yeah. And you're dick down on your carpet. I'm not going to get fleas. I'm not going to get fleas. Toxins.

Toxins. No, the toxins don't go out the dick. Wait, but it'd be worse if it was up the butt, wouldn't it? No, no. I'd rather have toxins on the butt than the dill. You've got genitals on your carpet that you just flea bomb. That's, uh. And then we're going to come out to your house and lay out on the carpet.

Yuck. Put a towel down. I should have put a towel down. I was just in the moment. You had your socks on, too, eh? No, I took my socks off. Oh, thank God for that. Yeah, I do.

Just give us a little look. I don't want to see a photo. Yeah, I love it. Look at that white bum. Look at how white that bum is. Dick down. Shannon feels quite confronted by that photo. No, don't look.

Fletch, look at it. I don't look at it. It's stick down. Why were you taking that photo? Who was that photo as sent to. I wanted to know if it looked as cute as I thought it did. It doesn't. Do you remember? I thought it did it look way better than I thought it was going to.

The alien from signs who kind of like walks back in the back of that shot and he's like transparent blue. That's the colour. Just painting the sort of description of that tush. But it's a lovely little glimmer. But the alien from signs that walks in the back of their children's birthday party. The terrifying of years. He wouldn't go, would he wasn't dick down on the carpet. He wasn't dick down. He doesn't go dick down. He could go dick down in the carpet. So a glimmer would be any just, I guess, appreciation.

Sorry, I got slightly distracted. Stop and smell. I do you know what I always do. genuinely stop and smell the roses. If I see a rose, my nose is in it. I love smelling flowers. Yesterday, pee waka waka, just darting in a tree. A pause, so I took it in.

Birds. Glamar. Birds. And there's the to-e at the moment. Crazy for the early bloomers. Yeah. Getting that early, um, getting that nectar. Yeah, beautiful.

Getting that early spring nectar. But yeah, the sound of your favorite song. I know. Sorry. Oh, I'm sorry we're deriving joy. I'm sorry we're deriving joy from the gifts God gave us. Yeah, Jesus. Enjoy your CBD.

Yeah. Why don't you enjoy a rubbish truck rattling past your house. Why don't you enjoy the sound of a wheelie bin full of bottles being tipped? I will actually get a glimmer from my rubbish being taken away. A service, you know what, that's good on you. Because that's a simple joy. Otherwise, where would it go? You'd have to burn it or make a big pile of it or find a hole to dig and put it in yourself.

Now, that would bring joy, though, burning it up. That would be quite... Georgia, that's so bad for the environment. Unless you find a rural friend that has a burn pile. Yeah, exactly, before. Keep your burn pit away from me. I'm trying to keep a clean out there. Is that the podcast done?

Because I'm busting for a poos. Basting for a poos. Jesus. Give us a review. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
