Fletch Fawn and Haley Two minutes past six United we stand I was making a comment We're back in the studio together Oh right, okay And boy you're lucky Because I'm bringing in a whole bunch of bugs with me

God, you sound, you're sick again. Well, yeah. It's almost like you don't sleep enough and you work too much. You gave me a lecture yesterday. I did. And how many, I slept eight and a half hours last night. That's a good. That's beautiful.

Just go to do this every day, like every day, get a lot of sleep. Every month, I will. Once a month, I'll catch up. Interesting concept. Secret sound returns at 7 and 8 this morning.

The top six on the way? Yeah, the top six ironic superhero deaths. Yesterday, well, Jason Marmore did the Smartless podcast this week and talked about a 2007 accident.

We were nearly drowned surfing in Hawaii. Later castes Aquaman, someone who literally cannot drown. So I've got the top six, ironic superhero deaths. Next on the show, though. Frankenstein bunnies. Yeah, I can't stop looking away from them. Kind of like last, something you'd seen the last of us. It's big end-of-the-world vibes.

Play ZDM's, Flashborn and Haley. Do you guys remember the Kalesi virus? Long before she was the mother of dragons on Game of Thrones. It was the Kalesi virus released in New Zealand. There was a big, like, we're not going to release a virus. To get rid of the rabbits, right? But you reckon someone smuggled it into New Zealand. That's right.

I remember having a massive deal. Farmers wanted a more cost-effective solution to rabbit control. And the fact that rabbits were just absolutely making such a mess of the South Island. How do you smuggle a virus in? I do not know. That's wild. It was pre-9-11. Things were loose.

You'll probably have a secret compartment of your shoe with a, you know, blood of a rabbit with the calise virus in, get here, catch a rabbit. Inject it, set it free. Yeah. And they went a bit cuckoo, eh? But rabbits went a bit nuts on that. And did it stay around? Did it stay around? It spread throughout New Zealand real quick.

Right. And then I think it's like any virus for humanity. I think it kind of does a loop every few years, like a flu virus. And then, of course, rabbits were all going to the rabbit pharmacy and getting their immunizations, apart from a small group of rabbits that said vaccines are giving us rabbit autism. I don't want rabbit autism. Yeah, so they were avoiding it. And, of course, they were the first to go.

Yeah. But now there's a new virus. that's causing sort of a weird mutation on the faces of rabbits in America. Cotton-tale papillona virus. And I believe papillomavirus is the same thing that dogs get. Oh, is that what the... Human papillomavirus virus is HPV. Well, this is cottontal papillovirus.

And have you seen the photos of these rabbits? Yeah. They look like they're from The Last of Us or a zombie movie. Yeah, they've got like... Covening growths. They, tumorous sort of growths grow out of their faces. like black quills kind of out of the neckway face. I just say that look like what do you...

Fungles, like that... What is that fungus that causes it in The Last of Us? Misona? Is that what fungus is? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it does. It looks like a fungal growth. But it's like a tumorous growth out of the face. Measure coming across one of those. Yeah, and apparently it's been spread more in summer

due to like fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are transferring it from rabbit to rabbit. Right, so wait, it's not... And unprotected rabbit sex. Yeah, of course. Are they not using little tiny rabbit condoms? No, they're not, no. That's disappointing. How would they roll it on with their little arms?

You know what I mean? They'd have to be some sort of applicator. Yeah. They get carried away in the moment. And they're like, oh no. Yeah. So how are they getting rid of it? We're just killing the rabbits.

They're just going to kill the rabbits. Right. Because I saw someone yesterday. I was in Wellington. It's cold. Yep. And they were wearing a lovely faux fur jacket. We were talking about it.

She said, yeah, not as good as the real thing. And I was like, you know what? Bring back fur coats. Oh, for a rabbit fur coat. Possum fur coat. Mink, seal. Whoa. No, those last two.

I reckon pull back from the last two. Tiger. Oh, my God. Red panda. I'll distance myself. Oh, my gosh. I will not have that even joked about places. You know, red pandas have rocketed.

They rocketed to the top of my favorite animals list this year. But imagine if. Did you see the guy to you? Because we talked about the red panda lying on the ice cube. Oh, yeah. Have you seen the guy? Have you seen the guy he's standing on his back leg

and they're passing him apple and he's eating it? He's just got this like look on his face like, thank for the apple. Have you seen it? No. You simply must. But do you know what we can make coats out of these muted rabbits

and they have little dongles. Little tumour dungles. No, I don't want to chew mongle. Yuck. Yeah. Okay, but it's not in New Zealand, though. It's just America. It's just an America at the moment.

And it's not going to be a human thing because I don't want to start getting gross all over our face. Let's not get carried. Let's not get carried away. I have you not already got it. pull off of eating rabbit for a bit. Okay, yeah, that's probably a safe idea. You're not eating rabbit at the moment?

I've never eaten rabbit in my life, but I'm going to continue to not eat it. I found the video of the Red Panda eating an apple. Look at him, he's like, oh, yeah, yes please. Oh my God, that's so cute. We simply must go to the zoo. We simply must go to the Zoo. We must go to the Red Panda experience. I could be free Sunday afternoon.

Play ZDM's, Fletch Vaughan and Haley. A debate ragedath online around a certain use of a certain emoji. It's mostly between generations. Generation Z. I love calling them that because I know it really annoys them. The Generation Z is. I don't know.

Shannon didn't seem at all perplexed by that. Does it bother you that I say Generation Z? Z. I dabble. Oh, you dabble between Z and Z. Gen Z. Well, yeah, but we're not ZM,

are we? We're Zedem. Yeah, because I use Z. So let's all grow up. Because British. I think we should rebrand. ZM. Yeah.

Fletch Ford and Haley, ZM. And to see if people notice. It may. It happens every. now and then when we're on like a call with an American. With an American advice and they're like, oh, Z M, Z M. Well, it should

be Z because it rhymes with L-M-N-O-P, U-R-S-T-U-V, W-X-Y, and Z. It's disappointing. Yeah, that's true. The emoji in question here is the salute emoji, relatively a new one to the emoji mix.

Why are people upset over that? Gen Z's, they love it, the boomers they don't. Which I sort of don't understand, like, But what people don't know is we salute our security guard every morning. Well, yeah, when it does the rounds, isn't he? They even salute. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They say on the emojipedia, where they give you the meaning of each emoji, it means respect, admiration, agreement, or obedience with the purest, most earnest, unironic sincerity. Like this. But Generation Z is using it almost as a sarcastic snark. They're liking it being like, can you? you go do the dishes? I, I, Captain, you know, like a little bit. Loves the tune, dude.

And therefore, they're using it a lot. Right. And the boomers are like, don't you snarky, like emoji me. So the generation that's offended by a full stop, I happy to, you know. Tengen's, they hate a full stop. What is it, Shannon, about the full stop?

Someone said to the other day, how are you? I said, okay. And then I put a full stop and they're like, all full stop. Yeah. Are you really okay? I was like, I just said I was okay, full stop. Sometimes you okay just the two letters, and I hate that. Oh, really?

Yeah. It's okay. It's like your parents' message back just a thumbs up or okay. Not even an O sometimes it's just K. Yeah. Save a bit of time, get rid of one of the two letters you're going to use. Okay. How are we going to do this?

Kay. Yeah. Yeah, what is it about the full stop? It's aggressive. It just feels intense. There's no need for it. I love a comma, but I actually text someone the other day, and I wrote out at the end of it, end message, full stop.

Oh, I like that. It was called out. The behaviour was called out the next day. But that came across as rather aggressive as well. End message. I love the salute. I use it constantly. And Carmen and I will send it to each other all the time.

It's like a yes, queen, done it. Like, we're good. Like, I don't think of it as a super snarky thing, but it's definitely a fun way to communicate that you've done it half. Yeah. I think the boomers just feel like they're being attacked by young, by the young, the bold, the beautiful. Oh, no, go cry in your house. Like, sizz.

Sizz. House sys. ZM's Fletch Forn and Haley From your local community Facebook page This is the Top Six Well this week on a podcast Jason Marmore Apparently this is also the first podcast he's done

Is that same right here? I mean he's been on our show that gets turned into a podcast But he's never done a sit down, has he? No Right Smartless was the one he sat down with Correct Mondo He talked about surfing the biggest surf break in Maui which is nicknamed Jaws

in 2007 his leg rope snapped them at high wind thought he was fine at first despite the waves crashing down and he thought I'm going to die I'm going to drown because he lost his board Yeah

and it was just bad and windy and the waves were really big and he was just like I got sucked out there and he's like this is it I'm done I'm toast Bye And then years later

Castor's Aquaman ironic there Very ironic He's in the aqua As a man As a man As a man Aquaman.

So I've got the top six ironic hero deaths for today's top six. Number six on the list. Batman trips over in the back cave because it's too dark, falls down the stairs, breaks his neck.

Too dark and gloomy. Yeah. Too moody and broody. He needed more light in there. He needed to turn up the lights. Maybe some of those nice lights under all the stairs. Stripped lighting.

Oh, that looks nice. Dimable. That's a fancy house when they've got strip lighting like that. Yeah, it is. It's not a staircase. And like a negative face. In a negative space.

Don't they create a little negative space to hide the LED strip? Yeah, yeah, you're lovely. Nice, I've got on my wardrobe. Number five on the list of the top six ironic hero deaths. Ant man couldn't help but have a little nibble of the KiwiCare ant bait station. Oh no. Just a little nibble. As a superhero ant, he should know better.

He should know better. He shouldn't have fallen for that? They're just drawn to it though. Yeah, why they just follow everybody else, don't they? Yeah. They get there, have a little nibble. But dumb. Toast.

Number four on the list of the top six ironic hero deaths. The Invisible Woman hit by a bus as she crossed the, the street. Oh, no. You always got to turn off your invisibility and look both ways before we cross the road. You do. Yeah. They didn't see her coming.

That's on her. And she was crossing on her red too, so, you know, not so super after all. Number three on the list of the top six ironic hero deaths. A storm from X-Men struck by lightning while standing in a puddle playing golf. Oh. Yeah. Because usually she sends the lightning rather than. Yeah.

In a puddle with a golf club, though. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six ironic hero deaths are Spider-Man. There was an explosion at the Raid Factor and he swung in to save people but of course he swung straight into a cloud of raid. He should have known. And he breathed it in and then he did that thing

of his legs weren't real stuff like spiders do. I saw someone get a spider online this week is one of the best reels I saw this week. A young lady found a big dead spider and she used these pins to like reposition the legs and then let it set for two weeks and then cast it in resin and made it into a doorknop.

Ooh, why? Beautiful piece of art. Yark. It's but yark. I like that. And I'm saying that. Yeah. You know what I would have quirky, worky stuff.

Weird quirky things. And number one on the list of the top six ironic hero deaths. Iron Man, Rust. Oh no. Too close to the beach. He didn't wash his suit. Didn't wash his suit after a trip to the beach and the sobs just rusted the bits. See, that's the thing is he got too successful and was able to buy a house near the beach.

He should have known that that was not a good thing to do. He should have been up in the hills away from the salt. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, you live and you learn or you die and you learn, I guess. That's today's top six. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.

Do you know, this is a study that was conducted in the University of Bloomington in Indiana. Okay. Bloomington. Just like that name. Now, they were looking at cheating stats between men and women in long-term or

like long-term relationships or married. Okay. So they didn't have to be married, but they had to be together for a significant amount of time. A committed relationship. They surveyed a thousand adults. So quite a low little pool sample there of...

I would have thought that's a big sample for a study. Do you know, when we run our silly little poll, it's like eight times that amount. But you only need a certain amount of people until it's the same, right? That is weird, are you? Yeah, one silly little poll's kind of got 1,500 votes. It's the same.

It doesn't change. The stats don't change. Yeah. Well, this pool of a thousand people, out of that, 19% of them, so a fifth of them had admitted to some kind of infidelity over their relationship. 19%. I think that's so high the stats on that, don't you think? One in five.

One in five. Admitted to it. Admitted to it as well. Yeah, probably another fifth. So it was obviously a mixture of men and women that were admitting to it but predominantly men and one of the main causes that experts have put down to men in particular being the chronic cheaters

they're stressed. So stressed. Stressful being a man. Yeah, they're just really understress. They're more likely to cheat on a long-term partner due to high times of stress which is why during COVID-19 times infidelity numbers really pete because the men were so stressed.

But it was COVID we were supposed to not be leaving our homes. The only person you could sleep with was probably someone that worked on the checkout. No, yeah, yeah. Well, they were still making it work. But you had to keep two metres distance, so I'm not sure how it all worked. Experts said that men are especially vulnerable to cheating. They're vulnerable to cheating. But why aren't women...

I love how nothing's ever our fault. If something's bad for men, we'll rationalise it by a bit like, we're stressed and we're vulnerable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this was actually not a decision made by me. It was a situation made by these circumstances. I think just in general women are handling stress better and they're not responding in this way to it. Also, parents. So when men become parents, the number goes up a lot more.

Because they're stressed as well. Mum's not stressed. She's fine, just feeding it from the teeth. From her body. From her body and having grown it in the body. But the men, they're stressed. Didoms. So getting back, I've just Googled, getting back to that,

you said a thousand people were sampled. Most statisticians concur that a sample size of 100 is the minimum number you need for meaningful results. God, it just feels like I know a thousand people. You know what I mean? And you feel like so many people. I do. I reckon I could, if I could sit here right now with a pen and paper and name a thousand people. Oh, I wonder if I could.

That would be a really interesting challenge. Facebook friends do you have? A thousand. Yeah, a thousand. But what is the number that they say... 150 is what our brains developed to be... Remember. And that's why when a village would get so big

and went over that, problems would start, like tensions and divisions. So that's why people would go and start another one. That's why there's Hastings. That's why there's Hastings. But they didn't go far enough away and then they're kind of smushed into each other, yeah. Well, don't attack Hastings.

I'm actually there tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it. Still tickets for your show? Oh, yes, there is. There is. Yep, Hayleysprow.com for tickets She's got a website Beautiful little plug Anyway, so if you don't want your man to cheat on you

You know Give him a back rub Just have his slippers You cook him a little meal Ease at stress Play ZM's Fletch Warren and Hayley Let's fun and Hayley

Silly little pole Silly little poe It is so silly, silly, silly silly little poll silly little pole silly little pole silly little pole silly little pole

silly little pole Well silly little pole comes off the back of a article that one in five young people can't afford to break up with their partner It's a financial situation that keeps them linked Well you think about if you're paying rent for your room

Yeah two to a room And someone's got to move out You've got to pay the rent It's double I've had friends stay in the same house with partners. Why are you so put off by the fact that August has changed cheers?

It's teachers' only day. The teachers, just for the listeners, teachers' only day, so August, my daughter's in studio. So watch your P's and your cues, please. She's never heard of... Oh, Shannon dropped up. She's never heard a swear word in her life. Literally, August walked in and Shannon said the F word.

And I was aghast. Yeah, we're really... Do not swear in front of children. We'll be popping into church on the way home for... We will to... For a cleansing. A cleansing of those sins. Actually, bad news.

Brad is here as well just sitting in the producers but we've got quite a party going on here quite the get-together. Well are you in the situation right now of being unable to afford to break up with somebody? This was a stat in America, wasn't it? Initially the stat that 20% of people are in, and not in

the financial situation to break up with their partner. Which is horrible. She's. Thankfully 82% of people said, no I don't find myself in that situation currently. Right. 18% did. And that's kind of lines up with the one in five thing. It's nearly 20%. Yeah.

So that sits the one in five. Let's go for some feedback on the topic. Kate says five weeks into the breakup, and I could only afford it because my parents owned the house we lived in, so no lease break fee. Irony is, I moved to the city where we were supposed to go, but he decided not to come, so he still lives in my parents' house. Oh, my parents are like Sianara.

Yeah. They speak Japanese? Yeah. Florently. Italian, English, Japanese. Japanese. In Deutsch. Yeah.

Well, wait, hold on a minute. Your parents speak Italian, Deutsch, so German, and Japanese. I guess we're not outside. They were on a World War II. Yeah. Tell you what, they won't speak Māori, though. Too confusing.

It's too confusing. Thank goodness that's taking it out of the children's textbooks. Oh, my God, it's confusing. That's an issue for another time to discuss another time. Very disappointed in the government. Christy said, because he cheated on me a week after my birthday, then I broke my ankle looking at rentals. Oh.

Okay, so. Now, you don't want to move into a rental where it's that slippery. I'd imagine that was a stairs issue. I don't want a wet rental, no. A wet, slippery rental. Sarah said, I'm not in this situation, but I know of at least two of my friends that are stuck in these situations. If it keeps a roof over your head, I guess you've got to do what you've got to do.

Oh, but that's not good. Is it long term? No. No, it's not. It's not sustainable. You come to some sort of agreement? A cohabitation, but... Yeah, but even if you've still got to...

get the bond for the next flat. Yeah, this is true. Save up. Save up. You might need to buy a washing machine or some appliances. Yeah. So it's a lot. Gosh.

Okay, we've got a child here. We don't have language like gosh. Watch your language. Anonymous please. I'm sorry, Augie. 10 years together, two kids and we're separated back in February, but we're still living in the same house

and the same bedroom. No family in the country. And I don't even earn enough for my week to pay for a rental. Feeling trapped. The economy, I guess you could say, as a bit effed. Yeah. Yeah. Same bedroom. That's, um...

That's rough. That's a lot. That's a lot. Megan says, me and my husband are very much in love, but I always joke about how he can't afford to leave me. I've worked five years in child support and nine years in family law, meaning I know all the tricks to make entirely financially ruining to leave me. To make it entirely financially ruining to leave me. Oh, wow. Okay.

Dana said, oh, geez, please, you can. Nothing is impossible. If you need, you can. So she's not in the situation, but she's saying... There's ways. There's ways. There's ways. It means.

Where's there's a will? Whiz is a will? There's a way. There's a way. She gets that on a t-shirt, I reckon. Where's this is a will? Where's this is a way? Brittany says, I'm single.

I can't even afford a relationship, let alone the breakup from it. Fair call. Yeah. Mason, yes, if I broke up with my partner, I'd be living in my car with two dogs. At least they keep you warm. Smelly but warm.

Smelly but warm. You could teach them to hunt. You might have fleas in your car. They get messy. Yeah, flee them. I don't want to break up with my lovely partner, but if I ever did, I wouldn't be able to afford to, says Liv. Well, they don't even think about it.

Don't consider it. And Kate says, could break up, but we'd need to continue living together as we have a house together, and neither of us could afford the mortuary payments for the house plus rent to live anywhere else. So. If it's a big enough house, so split it,

put a tape line down the middle. Yeah, yeah. I get the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Nail the door in the middle shut. Yeah. Or build a wall. and just, yeah, build a wall.

Bill the wall. No. I thought it hadn't done a lot of Trump this week. I thought I'm like crank a little friday. I actually think you've done enough. I think you've done enough. Bill the wall.

Okay. What do you think of your dad's Trump impersonation? Yeah. That was a hard shake of the head. So we asked, are you one of the people who can't afford to break up with your partner?

And 18% of you said, yes, unfortunately I am. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Carwin we have a date, don't we? October 5th No, third Oh, I think he's the 5th

Okay, third All right, that gives a bit more space Because my birthday's the 8th And I thought it was really going to like Say the shadowing take away You'll be like really distracted by it But by your birthday people will be Over it, they'll be in

Yeah, totally they'll be over it Yeah So when the news was dropped That she went on her boyfriend's podcast to announce a new album. We didn't know the tracks, how many songs were on it. We didn't know the title.

We didn't know the kind of music? No, no. She had dropped a little hint about maybe Max Martin and Shelbach had been back on the scene so that's like implying pop bangers but we weren't sure. Yep.

But she went on the podcast. It launched yesterday about 11 a.m. our time. Travis and his brother, Jason. She announced everything. and I don't know about Shannon but I was envisioning this to be she was going to be popping in on the podcast

announcing it and popping out she didn't she told us everything they addressed their like all the rumors around how they met their dating like everything she even talked about how she made the album it was something that I was working on while I was in Europe on the air is tour and I was working I would be on tour

how on earth did she do this on the tour is still blowing me my mind. I just love it. I just love it a lot. I love music. I would be playing shows. I'd do like three shows in a row. I'd have three days off. I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour and actually like working on this. I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating. How did no one see her private jet fly into Sweden and put that together? Well, I think she did talk about this in the podcast. They did a lot of traveling when she wasn't on tour.

So, like, between shows and between cities, her and Travis were going to a bunch of different places. Right. So I think we probably just assumed, if it was spotted there, that she was just having a little break with them. Right. They just were going to the zoo lots, you know?

Yeah, they were. Yeah. Well, they love the zoo. But it's going to be a pop album, which is exciting what people are most excited about, I think. Yeah, and, like, in that clip, when she, the time period that she's referring to is, like, peak her being all about Travis.

Like, it's going to be. be, I think, lots of fun, upbeat, I'm in love bangers, and that's what we need. Yeah, we do actually need that. I totally agree. Having a little, like, dance, something to move to, you know? That's what, you know, Lewis Capolta, that you've, all you've been asking for is give us something to dance. Give us something to dance. I think Taylor's going to fill that.

Yeah, there's also a song called Father Figure. Maybe you'll love that one, Vaughn. Do you know, George Michael is, like, credited on that, apparently. Yeah, it'll be a version of. It's going to be fun. Did you find it Icky that both of them went together being all lovey-dovey or did you find it real sweet?

I thought it was so cute. Taylor's never been like this. She's always been with men that are like, I want her to stand behind me. But Travis is very much up. I want to stand behind her kind of man. So like seeing that she is actually in love and not like pretending to be in love.

So there's a body language. Who was it on the beach? And they were wearing that t-shirt. Tom Hiddleston. Tom Hiddleston. that. Yeah, totally. Like, all of them.

They've all been kind of like pretend. She's, we're happy for it. She's been reserved in the past, but this time she's like, I'm in love and I don't care. Like, the breakup album is going to be so good. There's not going to be one. It is going to be

iconic. So there was a body language expert. Judy James. Great name. Great name. Great name for body. Judy James. Body language expert or a Marvel superhero secret identity. I'm Judy James by day.

So Judy James, said that the basically the dynamic between them how much PDA they had if you watch the video just is showing like how strong and intertwined and in touch

with each other they are also very strong sexual baseline between them I don't think about they give me big Christian energy you know what I mean no oh no you see some of her songs yeah he's calling her a good girl I'm just going to put that out there

there was a few thigh grabs in the video and we were watching it here in the ZDM office. We all gathered around. Ross was there. He was giggling like a little girl. Yeah, he was. And, yeah, there was a few thigh grabs and I kept going, whoa.

Well, the album comes out five days before my birthday. So everyone knows the day, obviously. So obviously, I don't need to say August 3rd. Yeah, August 3rd. Because October 3rd, sorry, because October 3rd is my birthday. Play ZDM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Shannon's Huck, baby Probably should get into recording

We need to get into that booth We need to the recording studio And actually do the intro properly I know but it's always after work They were like, should we do it? And then we're like, oh should we go get eggs? Yeah We go get eggs.

Eggs win every time, don't they? All right, Shannon, what are you got? Now, well, you were away, Haley? I was away. At the funeral. Yes, on Tuesday. On Tuesday, Shannon gave us a hack. It was awful.

It was so good. It actually made its way some during mid funeral someone took me on the shoulder and said did you hear the hack I was like excuse me I'm trying to and they said it was so bad I'm breathing I'm trying to mourn here it was really really good what was it give me the rundown of it and I'll just have my own little

personal reflection money saving hack you know when people get surgery like Fletch you want to give him a foil balloon they get well soon yeah cool because you're a good friend but they're so expensive so what you do is you go and you buy one of each kind of balloon I have a graduation boy girl yeah

and then instead of filling it up with the air you cut off the bottom fill it with a reusable latex balloon give it to fletch and then steal it back okay and then refill up the balloon you and anyone get now do you still i i wish i was at a funeral i wish i had to grieve that day there was a lot more geneseechoir with it yeah no there's the perfect amount of choir for me and it's a zero it's a zero just immediate reflection there okay this is a good one okay a new hack now for us new hack oh my goodness how hard as a pay review. It's so awkward because you're trying to advocate for yourself, but you also are trying to remember everything. Yeah, it's a lot. It's an overwhelming time and I think

that's what management depend on. Yes, that's true. Putting the pressure on and making you nervous and forgetful. Yeah, and you're trying to like say I hit these KPIs, you know, but like, you don't, it's a whole thing. Hit one just there. I mean, just even the mention of a KPI is a thing of the You're hitting one. Aftermouth conversions. Yeah. So my hack for you today is throughout the year, every time you do something good that you, you know, when you hit those KPI's, when you say that you listen on high-heartedly. I just feel like we hit another one.

Yeah. That you write this down and then when you get to your pay review, you're like, da-da-da-da, I'm incredible. Give me more money. So you've kind of got receipts. Yeah. Because it is hard to remember on the spot at the end of a year what you've accomplished in that year. But if you're taking notes throughout. Yeah, and you said on Tuesday the 17th,

remember how I made a million dollars for your company? I feel like you're creating more work for yourself, though, by going, you're doing the work and then adding a little bit of additional work of writing down the work. Do you have a running email or on your notes app? But for us, it would be hard, be like, killed it on this show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, made a crack up, crack a joke, crack a joke, natural hour. Right, you hit the actual out.

Mean, top six. Made a genuine connection with a caller. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just for us, it's constant wins after wins. It'll be hard. But imagine then presenting that to Ross and being like, killed it, he'd be like, you're right, here's a million dollars. Or if he was to say, oh, the show sucks.

You'd be like, well, actually, man, listen to this out. Time coded. Yeah. Well, you guys have to get those clips, though, because I don't know how to do the computer stuff. Because if you're keeping a log of everything you're doing right, they're never going to be able to have the time to keep a log of everything you're doing wrong. That is the winning attitude I'm here, fool.

Yeah, I like this idea. I actually quite like this. Yeah, I like this. What do they call those, look, it, not a shared document, but just, yeah, like a document on your computer, like a live document, right? Yeah. You can update from anywhere. Yeah, just a note on your notes app.

Yeah. Yeah. Or it's a bit, like, hey, siry voice note, nailed it. Nailed it. Nailed it. Killed it today. That's, I like this. I like this.

I'm going to give it four. Four is absurd. It's a three. No, I think it's a four, too. Oh. And you put together a presentation, like a full-blown. You could knock their socks off. for the presentation.

Oh, power point. Could you do this, Shannon, as Hackmaster? Could you do this in a relationship? A pointskeeping of sorts? No, it doesn't sound healthy. Do you reckon? Doesn't sound healthy. Have a note going of being like when I actually nailed it as a partner.

So, Daryl, I've actually done the dishes 18 times this month. Daryl's like, oh, you're really letting me down. I don't think it's going to help. Let me refer to my notes, Daryl. I don't think points. Wishing. I don't think points keeping the relationships away. Bacchamins. Sounds like a bad idea to me.

Nauty Cuddles. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Bad news, Bradd joins us in studio. A delight to have you, as always, Bradie. Good morning, friends. Good morning. He brought us in some wine, because everyone gives them bottles of wine for gifts and you don't drink.

No, I don't, but look, I mean, it's obviously a good one to re-gift, clearly. Yeah, no, not saying no to that, aren't we? No, we're not. Now, Brad, what's your official title again? Principal Economist. Principal Economist and Infometrics. And Chief Executive. Yeah, okay.

And genuine friend. Now today, we thought we'd talk to you about lifestyle creep. It's a toughie, the old lifestyle creep. I feel like it's something that we've probably all seen in our various lives. Lifestyle creep being the thing that when you get a pay rise or you come into a little bit of money, you probably think for a couple of seconds, you know what? I've got a bit more cash, I'll be sensible. I'll go and save it, I'll invest it, I'll do something.

And then you go, oh, now I've got that extra money. I might go and spend that extra money. Yeah, you get little treats for doing well. Like when you finally pay off your student loan and you're like, I'm going to do... Girl math it. Yeah, and then you just end up spending it. But it's not like a one-time thing.

It's not like, I'll go and buy that nice coat, Haley Sprow. Oh, okay, yes. But it's more like, oh, you know what? I did it get a new jacket, Brad. Do you like it? Sort of more of a casual take. Not another leather, I knew I've met my leather. Sorry, I can't see it because it's camo and so it's all the skies.

Funny. But in fact, what seems to happen is that people start to upgrade their entire lifestyle. Like they go and start to, you know, instead of taking the bus, like, I'll Uber everywhere. Or instead of, you know, instead of getting like the real cheapments, like I'm going to upgrade to like, you know, my food bag or whatever all the time. So just people take their entire lifestyle up a step. And so they've made some more money, but they've also spent it out immediately. So everyone goes, well, I'm not any better off. Yep, that makes sense.

You've been there before? Yeah, I definitely do this. Especially because I, because I mean, I've got this job, but I do shows and they come in sort of sporadically. Oh, is that your fun money? And that comes out, it's not all fun money, it definitely goes towards mortgage, but if a show does particularly well, I'll be like, oh yeah, this week I'm going to live a little luxer.

Hence the jacket, Brad. Hence the new jacket. The lifestyle creeped broader the jacket. Well, and given your syllable poll earlier, there's like a good 20% of people out there who are barely able to make it out of their relationships, let alone have lifestyle creed. Totally, I know.

There's a real divide here between people here. Well, you need to have a little kitty, don't you, at all times, not spend it? I mean, having an emergency fund is a good one for anything, right? Like you don't want your entire life to change because your car's all of a sudden broken down So like that stuff's important But my question is what would be your little lifestyle indulgence

That you wouldn't think would be the biggest cost But that you've all sort of gone Actually if I think back that's cost me quite a bit It might be coffees Cheese But I won't compromise on Yeah I remember when But when before we started renovating

And the money was ready Was there to renovate Don't look at me like that And Brad was like, buy it, do it, what could go wrong. Before the renovation started coming out, you feel a bit... I remember feeling a bit flush. Definitely, like, went out for dinner a lot more. And then suddenly realized that's...

The dinner's out. That's insanity. And that's one of the big ones. Yeah, eating out is definitely a bigger one that people seem to focus on. Because it's so easy because you go out, it's just a one-time thing. And then I quite like this. I quite like not having to cook. I quite like the really nice food.

The vibes. Yeah. And then all of a sudden it becomes like a regular thing. Every Friday night or whatever. Well, as someone of the family, you can go out for two meals, and that's pretty much the equivalent of a week's worth of groceries. Have you been going about selling some of your kids? I don't think I'd get much money for them.

Sorry, August is in studio. We can't talk about it. But we talk about it on Monday when she's not here. That's going to get returned. Smart mouth on. No returns policy. No returns policy. But sorry.

Buyers beware. Damaged goods. Caviar Dem tour. Caviar Dem tour. Let the buyer beware. What's yours, Brady? Do you have a lifestyle creep when you're feeling a bit flush? Oh, I think probably the amount of flying that I do feels like lifestyle creed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think, I mean, that's also why that, you know, what I try to do is that you have to allow yourself a little bit of lifestyle creep. Like, there's a reason that you're making more money. You don't deserve it. But you also want to put a little bit more of a way into, like, some long-term savings, and that's you've got some good money for lifestyle creep later in life as well. So there's a balance here in everything.

But, yeah, I mean, use a little bit, but also be a bit sensible with it. And, I mean, like, student loan's a great example there. That's probably the biggest pay rise a lot of people get in their lives. And so all of a sudden you've got this, like, 12% more that's coming into your pay packet. My best advice with that is try and maintain your thinking around what your spending was before that, before your student loan got paid off. Use that extra 12% to put some of it into some long-term savings, yes, but put some of it into a travel fund or something.

You know, like go on the award yourself for making it out of there. Just be sensible about it. Do you know what a very wise man once said? more money, more problems, you know? That was the notorious BIG. Who was an economist? Who was an economist and a rapper? Do you reckon I could rap?

No, let's not try that actually. I don't think it's worth it. DJ, spin the beat. But totally, like, I, you know, people say, like, you don't want to get more money and then just make a bigger lifestyle that you don't really need if you were already happy and just, you never get further ahead.

Well, and look, let's be very honest. Money doesn't make you happier. It does give you more options, though, And so I think, you know, everyone's like, oh, money doesn't make you happy. It's like, no, but it does make life, obviously, way more company. It's just that there's like a limit to that. Once you get so much money or you get to a certain point, you might well find yourselves, yes, you've got money and you've got a whole lot of other problems

because you don't see your friends as much more. More money, more problems. But it's one of those things I do worry as well that, you know, you sometimes get those friends who are like, you know, wanting to do stuff, and you're like, bro, no one's got money for that, and you're sort of forcing your entire friend group into much more expensive stuff. Yeah, this is Hayley makes us go up for dinner all the time. Yeah.

I do, my don't. So you've got to moderate for that. At home stir fry fletch. It doesn't look good to me. And it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It's not what I want. Do you invite anyone over for dinner? Or is this just more of a...

Yeah, I invite people over for dinner. But for these two, I live too. Vaughan lives close, but he's got his own, like, family and stuff. Yeah. When he's not trying to sell the kids. How is everything economy-wise is... Have we got OCR drop next week? When is it all getting cheaper, Brad?

Well, I mean... When's life getting cheaper, Brad? Guys, interest rates. Answer the question, Brad. Interest rates are coming down. Don't interrogating me like buddy. Look me in the eye and tell me. Lower, man.

Lower, more, less all at once. I want more and less all at once. Okay, fair enough. Well, interest rates are in a better place. I think three of the major banks have already cut their interest rates this week. So that's getting cheaper. If you are, however, baking all the time and still using butter, that is not getting cheaper. Shout out to the cafes, doing it hard.

Margarine croissants don't hit the same. No. They layer the margarine. I can tell. You ain't a full of no one. I made a chocolate cake last week, no butter. Oil. Oil instead.

Yeah. It was the best chocolate cake. Me and August. I made it last week. August and I. August. Me and August. Have you seen the price?

Have you seen the price of olive oil recently? It's not like that stuff. I don't use olive oil. It's got too much flavor to it. You need a light vegetable oil. Castrol. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot cheaper.

Yeah. Yeah. That was bio oil. TNW. Yeah. You get that muddy cake taste. Yeah. It's delicious.

It's really good. Okay. Well, see, if you've got a mortgage, it's best to wait a little bit. Oh, I mean, not that I want to give financial advice, because that is the number one question that comes through on the show every time I appear. Yeah, it is. Every single time. And I think it's because of my friend in the corner who did ask me for mortgage advice and now...

Well, do you know, I've got my whole thing on floating right now because I'm waiting for this next week thing. And it's not a fun. Like, we're going to need to get that off there. It's a quick... Well, like I say, a lot of the banks have already moved. So, you know, you might be able to move that a little bit quicker. On the rest of it, look, there are still some tough...

times out there. I mean, again, a little bit of the inflationary pressure coming up. Foods costing more. Energy's costing more. But mortgage rates are coming down. So on balance, I think we're slowly but surely

getting into a better position. But by goodness, it's a long slog. But then the trade-off is unemployment is very high at the moment. So things might be getting cheaper, but there's a whole lot of people who don't have jobs to pay at all. Yeah, no, you definitely...

And like, young people are bearing the brunt of that. You know, the youth unemployment rates now increased substantially. We know that a lot of the jobs job losses are coming through from young Kiwis. That's why some people are heading out overseas. But, again, I mean, we are hoping that as we move through the second half of this year, move into 2026, people have a bit more money from those lower mortgage rates.

You've got some really good numbers coming out of the rural sector. Meat prices are high. Dairy prices are high. Kiwi fruit and everything else are doing well. If you get all of that, you get some more of that money flowing through, you start to have more jobs. But it's a slow grind and it's always way slower, way harder to pull yourself out of the economic pit than it is to try and jam up

the economy. So we are in that sort of slow slog. We've had a nice message in, Bradie. Brady, they say, thank you for talking like a human and not a bureaucrat, Brad for Prime Minister. But it is. It's good to understand it. It's sad that other people don't do it like that. Would you move into politics or do you not like people are hating you? Oh, have you

seen my Instagram messages now? I mean, sometimes you get a few meanies in there. A lot of very nice people. Not about our brand. A lot of very nice people as well. But a few meanies every now and then. Look, in my mind, democracy says that if people want you to represent their views and at some point you've got to consider it, so maybe, but at the moment I can make the most difference I think in the current position I am, which is making sure that you can try and

digest economics, because the economy is just you and me guys. Like, it's not anything super special, it's just you and I want out then. No, no, you've got to participate. I don't want to participate. I don't want to know. I want my money under my mattress. I'm going to print you a participation certificate, the New Zealand economy. Brad, thank you so much. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley I was at the Wellington airport yesterday waiting to fly back Did you see the new sculpture? No The new bird No Where the Gandalf and the Eagles were

It wasn't up Oh my God look I thought it was up I thought they'd said this one Brad is it up Brad is the new bird at Wellington Airport It's the new bird at Wellington Airport Is it hung it up Oh I can't remember

I mean I don't look I don't think I saw it. Guys, get off your phone. No, I've got my luggage to go and move around. I've got stuff to do. And the wetter workshop crew aren't working around the clock tirelessly. Yeah, I don't see it. How many times do you walk through the airport with your chin up,

sort of looking at the airport and being in the time? I don't know. Every time I'm in an airport, I'm dressed at the nines. I travel like it's the 50s, you know? Yeah. Breathcase, cigarette. Or maybe it was a news story announcing. Annancing it.

No, I thought it was up. I thought it was up. Okay, anyway. Yeah, anyway. Well, I didn't look out. I was tired and hungry. So I actually went, I got a little burger out in the main part. And I sat there and I...

You've got lounge pass. I was not in the mood for a... Some powder eggs. And some, you know, and a thing. So, no, no, I... It must be tough. It was tough. I actually went out and paid with the people.

And it was nice to sort of reconnect. Actually, they did... These two women came up to me and they were chatting to me. They listened to the show. And they were like, what are you doing out here? I was like, okay, listen to me. I'm a woman of the people. They know that you're a private school girl.

And I belong in the club. You love the lounge, darling. Well, I said to them, I will. I just felt like something from down here and then I will be taking myself to the lounge. For a one. For a one. But anyway, I was talking to these lovely listeners of ours

who were heading home from a three-day work conference. They worked in insurance. Fun. Yeah, and they were, I'll say it, dusty. Hence why they met me near the fried chicken. Yeah. And I was like, oh, you know, what is it, a bit of a wild one. They said, oh, yeah, the company cuts loose.

I love this. When they head away to these work conferences. And I was like, oh, my God, I know. I've actually hosted a couple of these things before. And the whole dynamic just shifts within the office or the workplace or the industry or whatever. So I was talking to them, and then I walked past and I was chatting and said goodbye. And I saw their group and, man, there were some sorry-looking people. And I was like, I love this on the back of a work conference.

this is what I wanted to ask. Our listeners this morning. Okay. Like how wild or how ruckus did the work conference get? Oh, I love this. Okay. Friend of the show, Adam, from Viva La Dirtleggs, just messaged. I've just been through the Wellington Airport.

The new bird is up and it looks glorious. How did these chumps miss it? He didn't say that. I added that bit on the end. He wouldn't say that he's too nice a man. Get off your phones. I'll go back. I'll fly back down just to observe it and I'll come back up the same day.

The photos of it looks magnificent. Yeah, it does. It looks beautiful. You know, I didn't. And it looks lighter too for earthquakes. Yeah. Because I think that's one they got rid of the other ones, because they were too heavy.

What did they do with the other ones? I could, I reckon I could... Probably back at the workshop. Have one of those. I'll have the one with Gannon. Are you high stud in your garage? Oh, no, I wasn't thinking inside. I'd have it out, so I'd have it's going to give you one.

Yeah, you'd have to purchase it. Grow up. Yeah, grow up, actually. Yeah, that's just my white tidalment showing through there. Yeah, yeah, there it is. No, a lot of people saying it's up. Okay, I missed it. It's not what I want to know right now.

Is the bird up? I want to know how wild did the work conference get? When you travel away for work. I was in Queensland a couple of months ago in the hotel that I was in the people at breakfast the next day. It was some kind of motor mechanic something conference and they all look dusty as hell the next day. They had a big night. Yeah, they don't muck around. Yeah.

God, yeah. And it's always like sometimes they're celebratory ones that you know you work Christmas party. But sometimes you are going to learn about. Yeah. We're going on this thing. We're going to learn about the internal workings of the company. And you're like, no, you're not. You're just going to get.

Absolutely written off. And that's when things happen because HR always tell you it's always the end of your Christmas parties. Award season and Christmas parties. Yeah, they get the most attention. So we want the juicy goss. 0,800 dials at Emerson number.

Call us now. Text through 9696. What wild thing happened at the work event? I just bummed into a really great group of hungover insurance workers who were heading back from a three-day conference at the airport yesterday. Some of these are so naughty.

Our manager got absolutely written off, spewed all over herself, all over herself in the bus back to the motel. I was in charge of stripping her down and putting in the shower so she didn't cover in her and her own sick. Oh, you're getting a pay rise because you're like, hey, Janine, remember when I took all your clothes off and show with you? Remember? Remember? Ended up in naked spas.

Two people ended up in hospital with alcohol poisoning and two people ended up getting caught, having a little fun, shall we say, on one of the trestle tables after everyone left. On a trestle table. I wouldn't trust the trestle. I'm far too dense. Oh, I was going to say, I'm far too adventurous.

Yeah, yeah, right. On a moment, the trestles, the egg. We got banned from the Hilton and Topol because managers got so drunk, the mattress ended up on the grass. Oh, come on now. The managers as well, it's so good. Come on now, we drove company cars around a paddock,

and one person had to do the pedals, and the other person had to do the steering fastest time around the track. in the paddock one. I just I just don't know. Loose. My dad used to travel for work and go out for dinners.

The drinking culture was so big at one point. One of dads colleagues ended up in hospital and then his stomach pumped from alcohol poisoning from trying to outdrink each other. They don't do that anymore, eh? Well, I haven't... No. No.

He's even going to get her stomach pumped. Keep your text coming in. 9-6-9-6-0-800 dials at him. The wildest thing that happened on the work trip. Cheapest. Get to more of those next. Kelly, how bad did it get? Oh, so bad.

Oh, God. Tell us, tell us. Manufacturing company that I worked four years ago, we had a product launch at, you know, the Wolf Conference Center in Auckland, that really stunning place. It's over the harbour bridge. Anyway, we...

Oh, yeah. You drive over the harbour bridge, you can see it down there. Suzanne Boy, didn't she? It's such a... centre. Anyway, it was all, we're all dressed at a nine for this product launch. We invited all of our clients that were all, you know, dressed up. And I had this beautiful dress, but it had required, you know, the old chicken fillets.

Oh, yeah. Anyway, later in the night, we had Joe Cotton's The Mermaid. I tell you what, hell of a covers band. That great, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Great night. On the dance floor, most of the night, too much alcohol, too much dancing.

Oh. And outflops the chicken fillet onto the dance floor. Oh, no. In front of everyone. Oh, no. It's so embarrassing. I sort of thought it, I thought, I'll just check it to the side. Oh, no.

But it's got adhesive on the back. Yeah, yeah. It was so embarrassing. Oh, God. And then, so were you walking around with one sort of perth, lop-sided? hurt breast and the other... No, I think by that time I just didn't care. Yeah.

Just flop it out, you know what I mean? Everyone else has gone too, so you can... Yeah. I would hope so. I would hope so, but it was, yeah, definitely, you know, it has scarred me for many years. Yeah. Oh, well, God, we've all had a chicken fillet accident.

Do you know what I mean? Thank you, Kelly. Some messages in. Habib was finding a chicken fillet on the dance wall back in the day and the club and just launching it through. Lodge you at the ceiling, yeah. Yeah, and they'd stick, wouldn't they? Well, I mean, I think we're about to make Kelly feel better.

So, we were banned from Snow Planet. Who gets banned from Snow Planet? It was a bunch of hairdressers. We drank all the way on the bus to Snow Planet. No pit stop along the way. Needed to pee as soon as we got there. But there was no time for the bathrooms. A couple of us popped a squat in the bush in the corner car park.

Got into Snow Planet. Got all to get all geared up trying to act sober. And you realized we'd been watched on security cameras the entire time. So we got banned from Snow Planet. and we went into karaoke karaoke in town. Great night, though. Many memories, many memories formed. We had a big night, got back early to a hotel room.

One of the guys went into his room, thought he was going into the bathroom, ended up in the hallway completely naked, locked out, had to sleep behind a pot plant, then snuck his way downstairs to the lobby to try to get another room key. But by this stage, it was morning, and he was totally naked in the elevator as the doors opened to a full foyer of a Japanese, sorry, a busload of Japanese tourists arriving. Oh, gosh. So good. Insurance industry also, conference time.

We were all eating breakfast the next day in the conference room. Paul Ego, MC. Oh, lovely, M. Announced that the previous night before the boozy festivities, two people got called indoor gardening in that conference room that we were eating in. Wow. One of many stories from that weekend. I worked at a five-star hotel in Auckland where conferences happened.

Well, I've got all the stories. I bet. One night, two delegates continued their festivities in our gym, but we had cameras in there, so we all watched for a little bit. before we set the night porter up to tell them to take it back to their room, please. Watched for a little bit. Yeah.

Cameras in there. Wild. Cheapest. After a marketing Christmas patio, our company got banned from the Whitehickie Ferry. We're a large global brand. I've got no idea how we'll get over there if we ever need to.

Oh, God. My colleague was so boozed after a work conference they slept on the side of the road and the police picked them up to drop them off to work the next day as our work does he usually on Thursdays. Now, I believe the idea of having it on a Thursday is to limit that sort of behavior. Yeah, obviously not though.

Yeah. A company I worked for a few years back at an end of the year party that was shut down. They got so out of hand that one year a temp worker brought in a portable tattoo gun. Needless to say, three different employees ending up having to get laser tattoo removal of the company name

on their bums. Wow. Do you think the company paid? Just do ZM. Put ZM. Play ZDM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Zey. Time for Friday Flashback. Each week we take a turn.

We've got to pick a song that's at least 10 years old and is a banger. Well, I can confirm in November 16, this song will be 22 years old. Really? Yep. Originally intended for Pink, who turned it down. Oh, Pink would have nailed this. She would have nailed it. Also, apparently, they took it to Hilary Duff's management, but she couldn't hit the high notes.

The Duff stuff. Yeah, it wouldn't have been Hillary. Out of the Duffster's race. La La La La La La La La. You say that's a reference to a Hilary Duff thing. I'm not just like singing randomly. Right. I've never seen it.

Don't worry about it. Those that know, the Duffster, no. Sorry, sorry, Vaughn. Is Haley doing that weird thing where she references Hillary Duff things? Yeah. From ages ago? She does do that. Please don't talk about how often I reference Hillary Duff.

Okay, she's a legend of my time. You've re-watched Lizzie McGuire again this week I see? Yeah, this week I watched the whole thing. Yeah, top to tail. Honestly, I think it's Sopranos, yes, up there for TV history. Yeah, Lizzie McGuire. Lysenfeld and the Simpsons are your top five, really, aren't they? So it ended up with this singer who's in the news this week

because her ex-husband passed away, and there's a whole lot of controversy about the fact that he was now with her, he had been with her personal assistant. He was with her personal assistant, yeah. Also tie into current events because the guy that wrote this song has been named as helping on the new Taylor Swift record. which is coming out in October five days before Hayley's birthday

and of course we all know Hayley's birthday as October 8th So October 3rd It's just an easy way I think for people to remember when the album's coming out Being like when was that other thing That's happening around Hayley's birthday On the 8th of October

Yeah Five days before Taylor Swift I just love this song I reckon I could listen to it Once a week In perpetuity and never be sick Once a week Well I don't want to burn it out

We'll let that day be today Yeah well today will be that day I don't think I've had one this week Okay well it's your Friday flashback It sure is from 2004 from her album, Breakaway. It's Kelly Clarkson since you've been gone. Z.M. Some feedback.

I was a bridesmaid for a lesbian wedding and helped us organize their hens do. We hired a bus, and after a quiet start at the house, I kicked off the bus ride with Since You've Been Gone and got all the ladies out of their seats, absolutely. It's a banger. It is such a banger. Oh, she's got a voice saying.

She still does. She's amazing. She's amazing. So I'm reading the gossip about how her ex-husband died. he had battled melanoma for three years. That's not great Goss. You know, Goss for me, he's like, so-and-so.

No, and he was at the time of his death living with her former personal assistant. Okay, there's the goss. We're thinking of these cross-over. That's like the time you lost your personal assistant to Ricky Martin. Do you remember that? I don't want to talk about it.

Sebastian Hernandez is sadly missed. Seb Hen, as I called him. You did, yeah. Seb Hen. Yeah, great personal assistant. and I lost him to Ricky Martin. People texting in saying this was a good getting ready for town banger.

You know, get the moods up, get the girls vibe in. Great song, love it. You know, immediately what popped into my head for a get ready for town song was Liberty X. Just a little bit. Yeah.

In the little bit. Me. A little bit, man. Well, you'd say the postman delivered. Postman delivered again. No surprises. I'll give you a round of applause. You delivered.

Now, I'm just looking over your shoulder, Vaughney, to see if Ross Boss is in? No. I can't see him. Team. What have you done? I've done something. And I live, I'm living by the

mantra, it's better to ask forgiveness than to seek permission, you know? Yeah, I like that mantra. Do you know what I mean? Mantra? Mantra. Mantra. I say mantra actually. I don't know I said mantra. Do you say? I think I say mantra, but I think because I'm fancier than you. That's the motto

that I am employing right now because you may remember after I gave up on the idea of buying my weena piglet taxi dermy I spotted on trade me just a new fixation that I thought would be a really nice addition to our studio

along with Lady Die of course who we salute in the corner and it was a life-sized ceramic German shepherd of course you remember this because hang on Of course we remember this Because it was one of the most memorable items I've ever caught my eye on

It wasn't like a metre tall Meta 20 It was a metre tall Or life-sized German Shepherd It was German Shepherd tall And I was like Oh we must get this And I would say I showed you guys

And you were like oh we like that Yeah it's much better than the Wiener Piglet I think off the back of the Wiener Piglet Yeah I'm not into taxidermy It's icky Okay well yeah And then I was like We should get it you know as a show

And and then you saw the price and everyone was like no we can't do that it was outrageous it was $1,200 yeah it was $1,200 and then so I just sort of I thought I'd approach Ross and be like wouldn't this be fun you know if we had this and how happy it would make me

and the answer was no so what's happened to the auction ran out and trade me so I was like there it's gone and then I get an email saying an auction on your an item on your watch list has been relisted and here he was, again. And for me, that was a calling of sorts.

Right. And while I had my hand on the company credit card, I bought it. I've bought the dog. A life-sized German shepherd. I've bought the ceramic German shepherd. Now, from recollection, that's in Christchurch. Do you know what I mean? Like, you're putting obstacles in before the celebration.

Guys, I've bought the dog. I'm thinking shipping is going to cost as much as the dog at church. Well, no, you can't ship it. Okay, here's the thing. just put a $1,200 lifestyle German Shepherd on the company credit card? You can, when the card's in your hand, and you have

all the information you need, in order to make this purchase. And I was like, here's, I think we can get away with this. Well, I'll deal with Ross, leave that with me. Okay. I'll deal with Ross, because here's the bigger issue is, yes, getting it from Christchurch. So I was like, we'll get it shipped, and we'll just have, it'll be nice and easy.

But the guy who I've bought it from was chatting to me about how elated he is to be giving it to someone who's so excited to own this as it was a family heirloom that was his parents and they treasured it and he really wants it to be in good hands you know so if somebody's really got to take care of it and I was like if my god if like I shipped it and it broke in the courier we can't have it so yeah it is in Christchurch and we're in Auckland and that's by the bye but I want to I want to bring him up here also I need to name him like all of my little items at home I name them

What did you name that Toad, that taxi-dumi Toad that you've got? Wasn't he carrying, was that one walking with a stick in a backpack? I can't remember. I can't remember. Actually, I don't think, he was the, he's the latest edition. He didn't get a name. Right. But we've got like Clint.

Oh, yeah, we do. We've got a Clint. We've got a Rachel. We've got a George. We've got a Lloyd. Got a Ralph. Like, everyone gets... I thought they were going to have, like, sort of more full-blown fantasy names.

No, no, no, just normal titles. Okay. But we need a name this. Someone's deal. Someone just texts him. And what about the ceramic panther? I thought it would have been taking the piss. I think I've already taken the piss here.

That's right because it was also a ceramic panther. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's just one ceramic life-sized animal at a time, I think. But I need a name. I think, can we get some suggestions from our listeners, 9696, on what we should name this? And can we get a picture up? So he's put a little video up. It's a he?

I've not checked the genitals. It's got a he energy. For me, he's a good boy. There are female German shepherds. I know. Yeah, we know that because how would they make more German shepherds? a druggie, you know, on the run from the cops just as well as a male German Shepherd.

Yeah, yeah. I think we should get some name suggestions in because I'm excited. It's got to have the human name. Should we call it Ross? And then he can't be mad at me. Duncan. Somebody said Duncan the doll.

Duncan? Yeah, but there's Duncan Garner. And I, no, no, we can't have Duncan in the studio. Okay, there was a Egyptian god of the dead funerary rights and mummification with a doghead called Anubis. Anubis. Someone just said Chip in case it chips.

Oh, Chips are great name for a dog. Yeah, okay. Chips are a great name for a dog? I'm also like, how are we going to get this here? Because I just got a girl from the Christchurchs, the end him office to pick it up. Oh, my God, the photo in the back seat that you just showed us. Yeah, yeah. So she has, like,

put him down on his side in the back seat. It's a whole back seat of the car with seatbelts on it. Yeah. It's huge. Herman the German. Yeah. Oh, Herman the German's pretty good. German.

Angler, as in Angela Merkel, because it's pretty much. One of the only German leader you can really name a Alsatian after. Guys, I've got to say, we've had quite a few Hitler's come through. Can we just grow up? You can't call the dog, Hitler. Kuri, Moldi word for dog, that's good. Herman the German is really tickling me right now. Yeah, Pedro.

Herman the Germans so far in the lead, I think, for me. Yeah. And so you would want someone that's driving up from Christchurch. Well, someone just messaging, why don't you do a relay? They pass the baton, get him to the studio where Zetim listeners meet up in random hotspots around the country, do a secret exchange and bring him to Auckland. This is what I'm thinking.

If we can just... So he's in Christchurch right now. Yeah. He does take up the majority of a backseat. Now, we're not accepting in a boot, right? He's not a boot. Sorry. He will be...

Herman the German will be treated with respect. I feel Herman... I feel like we're going to need a bubble wrap blanket or something. Yeah, he needs to be treated with respect. He's not to be... He's not a toy. That's what I was told by the man. who gave it to me not a toy.

I said, no, no, no, not a toy an absolutely respected item for the household slash studio. 100%. Doug the dog. So many great, Germany. Oh, Jeremy the German Shepherd. Sherman?

Sherman. Yes, okay. But I do. I think if we, I know we've got to move along, but I think if we could come back and maybe make a little plan with, oh, I nearly swore. Sorry, Ross just walked in.

We need to come back and make a little plan of how we're going to get Herman to the student. video. ZM? Play ZM's Fletch, Worn and Haley. Play ZM's Fleshworn and Haley. Ross Boss has just did that weird thing when he's come in and not address the problem,

which makes me feel like I'm in so much straight. You know what I mean? You're going to get told of after the show. He's going to wait until your friends go home. Yes. Hayley has decided, in her wisdom, to put a life-size ceramic German Shepherd on the show credit card.

Yeah, look, it's just something I saw. I floated it with the show. and our listeners and I think a lot of people were on board with getting it other than those that have to deal with the financial repercussions of it

so while I had my hands on the company credit card I just bought it and yeah I'm a lot of nervous about that chat after the show but it's fine now first thing we're doing is we are naming this German

ceramic German shepherd and I think Shannon can we put up a little poll to decide because we've had a number of names come through Okay, go. So we need a lock in the top four then. I reckon Herman and Sherman are the two kind of big...

Herman, Herman the German. Herman the German. And Sherman was the Sherman. That's a tank. The Schenck was a tank. That was a tank. I don't really want anything with war. We've got a good energy from the dog.

Yeah, the M4 Sherman. It was a US tank though. What about Jerry with a G? Someone suggested. Jerry the German? Yeah. And juries, wasn't that what they called Germans? What else was?

We've had Gus. We've had a lot of Dugs. Doug? Yeah, Doug in the corner. So Herman, Jerry, Doug. And then maybe, what about Cootie? Because that's the Māori word for dog. What else is there?

Assage. Bruce. Gunther. Gunther. No, it's two friends. Pat. We've had a suit. No, I like Pat because people want to pat.

Oh, no, I like Chip. I like Chip because I'm worried that we might chip him. Because if it gets chipped, then you can be like that's why he's called I can remove a Herman or a Sherman. Sherman is gone. Sherman is gone. I think we have Herman, Chip. We like Doug.

We've got Travis, Gary. These are coming in from the text machine. Boris, Bruce. Roan. No. Reggie? Reggie's all right. Gertrude in case it's female.

We do need to check the ceramic journals. Yeah. For me, it's giving male. Toto. Well, we can go through. the text machine and get a top four and then make a poll at some stage. We'll put up a poll on our socials. But the bigger issue, regardless of name,

is how we're going to get dog home. Yes. The first issue being there's what is known as a body of water between two islands. Yeah, the Cook Strait. Yeah. And he's in Christchurch. We're in Auckland. We couldn't actually really be sort of much further apart.

We need someone, so it's at the Christchurch office right now. We need someone to collect it from the Christchurch office. And look, you don't have to bring it all the way, but we need to get it as close to Picton. Ideally, if anybody's going in the next week, from Christchurch to Wellington, and then we can get it in Wellington, and then get it a ride somewhere else.

Because if you are flying, that's fine, and we appreciate you wanting to get involved. It's too big. It won't fit in that thing where you put your bag in to check the size. And I can't go with the other dogs. No, it can't go with the other dogs. It's too precious. Chips too precious

So if you can help us get the dog From Christchurch currently To I reckon at least the ferry And then we're sure we could get someone on the ferry To take it over from Picton to Wellington Well she'd get at one of those rooms on the Blue Bridge We're not made of money I spent $1,200 a lot

We're in a loss already We're not made of money Says the person who just spent them We're at a loss already Okay we've got to do this cheaply Well if you can help out Email producer Carwin at Carwin, C-A-R-W-E-N,

so Carwin at Z-M-O-L-L-Line.com and say, hey, I'm going to be going from Christchurch to Blumen, what's up to the church? Picton, Blenham, or anything. Yeah, yeah, Kikota. It's okay. It doesn't have to be a linear journey. Can you help us get our ceramic dog

that I've bought with no permission to do so to the Auckland studio? Play Z-M-S-Flech-N-Haley. The day, day, day, day, day. Ah, do-da-do-do-to-do-to-do-to-do-to-do-do-do-do-to-do-do do-do do-do do-d-do. Do-dip, do-do. Welcome to the final fact for Chocolate Week here at Fact of the Day. Hello, chocolate lovers.

Oh, my God, has is the best? Chocolate has a long-running history with the military. Oh. Yeah, the Revolutionary War in America. It was part of soldiers' ratchers. And then in a civil war in America, they love wars, by the way, if you haven't caught up, America's had lots of wars. They were seen as a morale booster and a quick pick-me-up before battle.

In World War I, the Army Signal Corps partnered with the YMCA to hand out Hershey's chocolate bars as soldiers in Europe, taste a home in the trenches. Yeah. But it's in World War II that we want to talk about, and you probably think I'm going to tell you the M&M's fact. No, not here. Not now. What's the M&M&M's fact?

Well, the M&MNM's fact is that they candy-coated the chocolate, so it was. wouldn't melt in their hands when they were holding it. Oh, it does, it just bleeds all that colour over it. Yeah, didn't, the military ones didn't have as much colour on it, so it didn't bleed the colour on the hands, but it wouldn't mount the chocolate. But that's not my, that's not my fact.

Nothing combats, nothing sort of goes against wearing camouflage, right, if you've got big rainbow hands. Yeah. And shoot for the rainbow hands. Shoot for two foot above and one foot right of the rainbow hands. No, this is about the Hershey's military ration bar, named the Logan Bar, and then later renamed Field Ration D.

The only known chocolate bar that was made to be only mildly palatable, and some described it as tasting not much better than a potato, a boiled potato in a brick form because they wanted to discourage casual snacking on the chocolate bar and soldiers would only use it

when they were in desperate need of energy. So they basically made a protein bar. Yeah, yuck. They made a four-ounce, yuck. Heat-resistant, high-end calorie, but only mildly palestine. charitable chocolate bar. Yuck.

600 calories in the chocolate bar. So, you know, like crucial energy. Yeah. They tested them in locations like the Philippines, Hawaii, Panama and the Texas border because they wanted them to not melt. Wow, so highly processed. Obviously great for you.

I mean, big as chooses, right? A bit of potato log. So after the Pearl Harbor attack, new specifications added heavy packaging for poison gas protection because they didn't want the chocolate bars to be, you know, tainted. and coding for shipments to get them there.

Hershey was producing 100,000 bars a day. They got up to 24 million units per week totaling over 3 billion of these bars during World War II. Wow. And a three-pack version was provided for soldiers for 1,800-Colian, and that's probably where they got the idea for the three-pack of Arm and Golds at 10.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the way out, get yourself a little triple pack. Three-pack, it's the perfect number. One now, one later in the day and one for when you've forgotten, and then you find it again. So Hershey, the company received the Army's award, the E Award for exceeding production expectation, the E award for exceeding production expectations and being such a valuable

part of the war effort. Nice. So today's fact of the day is in World War II. Hershey's in the U.S. Army made a gross tasting chocolate bar on purpose. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Two-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-ttoo. Two great messages. Just going back to the dog, the German-Gibbid dog.

Kate, for Kate-Shepard. If it does have female genitalia. And the second thing, we've had a message from Bluebridge. It may be in to support getting the dog on the ferry and picting. And a dog-friendly... Pickeding. And a dog-friendly... They don't go from Pecting.

They go from Pecting. Oh, no, he's only in PICDame. Into a dog-friendly cabin for the journey. Yes. Hashtag, bring him to Wellington. Brilliant. Love this. Play ZM's Flash for one in Haley.

An article out of the UK reveals that Brits, Holiday, with a lot of things that you wouldn't normally take on holiday. I don't reckon the Brits would be known for their light travel. You know what I mean? I think they've always been known to take their tea with them, eh? They love taking their tea. but if you've got a specific sort of tea you know you tease your thing

you tease your thing you tease your thing well one in five Brits admit that they have taken their favourite appliance for a trip abroad and at the moment the favourite appliance seems to be the air friar the thing about the air friar it's not it's a weird shape it's cumbersome isn't it

but they're sort of have the big empty part in the middle where all the chippies go and where all the air is and it's space for air and also you know in the UK they've got those three fat prongs for electrical sockets. Yes, but some of the fattest prongs. Yeah, and then you go to Europe and they've got too slim, like a French cigarettes. Oh, it's like this.

Do they do two circular rods? Yeah, it's different. Italy's got some different ones. Italy's slated. I thought the EU would have nipped that in the bar. Yeah, most of Europe's the same. It's just the two. And the Britain's got two and a bit fatty down the bottom of zero.

We agree, eh, that the New Zealand is the best. Australia is the best. Angular, sleek, slap, boom, take it, the one thing I will give about the Americans is because it's too, it can fold down. And they have smaller plugs. It's just two most of the time. But anyway, they, despite the fact

that you would need an adapter and that the air fry is huge, and also the fact that, like, everyone in Europe flies on, like, Ryanair or EasyTet. Like, you don't get luggage. No, you get none. So you're paying for your luggage. And then, I guess what, you get to your Airbnb or your hotel,

and you've got your air fryer there. But, step down, it could save you a lot of money. Yeah. Because if you're not cooking, you're not cooking. The air fry is the easy lunch stuff. I guess you go to the supermarket and you can reheat your pizza

if you get takeaway pizza. I mean, it might not be a bad idea. Especially if you've got a huge family. Yeah. And you are. I've said at an Airbnb with an air fry. Really good. Would you fill it up with your socks and undies and stuff,

wouldn't you? Oh, you're saying when you're transport? Putting it in your suitcase, you're stuffing it with our toiletries and our socks and underies, our jewelry and stuff. So that's not just taking up all that space. Yeah, that's a good idea. Well, we want to know this morning, is there something that you always take on holiday? And I've been known, I take my pillow. I take my pillow.

Get a grip. I put it in one of those, because you know, it's memory foam. I put it in one of those compression bags. I know, but the pillow where you're going is going to be fine. It's not, though. It'll be just fine. It's, my pillow's so perfect. I have the perfect pillow.

You do have good bedding it, yeah. I've got a great pillow, so I take it. And it's so good. So I want to know, 0800 dials at em. Give us a call now. You can text through 9-696. What do you always take on holiday? Give us a call.

Well, we're talking this morning about the things that you take away on holiday because a lot of Brits are travelling with their favourite appliances, coffee machines being a popular one, and also air fryers. Yeah, but I was like, this is absurd, but so many people messaging in stuff that they're taking. a flat pinini press and baking paper we always take the ice maker

wouldn't go away without it see if you're camping or something eh yeah way on like a new year's imagine you had a little ice maker and you're like nothing beats ice in summer or and you can't like sometimes nothing beats a jet two holiday nothing beats a jet two holiday

but like you like sometimes you can't get those bags if you're in a really popular area yeah because they sell out yeah they do they do and they know They know you'll pay through the nose. How much is an ice machine, though? I don't know. Like, just to get a...

Noisy buggers, though. Noisy buggers. I always ate my spare espresso coffee machine camping. You've got to have those little luxuries when you're sleeping like a homeless person. You're spare espresso. A spare espresso. You've got a spare one. Yeah, I know.

Who's rocking around with a couple of nespressos? They must know George Clooney. Oh, for some reason when you said that George Michael, I said, no, he did different things. No, George Clooney's an impressive. George Clemson is an espresso man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I always say my air fry, we want to go camping, but we also have to take the generator to power the air fry,

but it just makes cooking when you're camping so much easier. Yeah. You can run the air fry. We took the air fry camping. I'm just checking with my daughter in case that was a made-up memory in my head, but we took the air-froar camping, yeah. What did you cook in it? Chips.

Chips and stuff, just anything. Yeah, all of it. Not every time I travel, but after I had my first kid, we went away often. We'd take everything we needed if the accommodation didn't have it. Microwave. collapsible bath collapsible dish bucket and everything in between

to wash and sanitise the bottles and then calm down why go away, just stay home yeah yeah Nutra bullet for frozen mugs oh always take a neutral great idea we can make frozen mugs in the hotel next time

let's do that yeah yeah it's actually not that heavy and that will not drive the people in the room next door nuts either well my one is about 12 years old and man she makes a racket oh yeah she's an easy

Keep your text coming in. 9-696-0-800-M. What do you take away with you on holiday? Always take my pillow, says somebody. If you can fit it, if I fit it, I'll take it. If we're going away with work and it's like one night and I've just taken a few things, I'll squeeze a pillow in on top.

Yeah. I reckon after winter I'm doing a full pillow restock. Are you? Yeah, it's time. It's years. It's years. I've been thinking. I think we should do some good, like, good investigation.

I want to invest. You know, I want to have a really good night's sleep. You've got to do memory fine. Of course you do, of course. Once you go memory foam, you can't go back. But I do one memory, one feather. We've had this too right. Do you sleep with two pillows?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the feather goes underneath as a sort of... You need to grow up. Yeah, I know. And I never will. Peter Pan. Peter Pan the pillows over here. Yeah, or Petra Pan.

Petra Pan, get it? As a lady. Yeah, good adaption. Thanks. My folks have a toaster and a jug. They take away with them anytime. They go away. Got to have that morning cup or a piece of jam toast.

Yeah, but, but, Like, they'd be staying at a, even a motel has a jug. Yeah. Yeah, but you know what? I don't trust those jugs. Yeah, because people boil their knickers in them, don't they? I've been using them recently. I've been back in to enjoy my pepperminties.

No, people boil their undies. Well, what do I care? Boil, just hold the jug down, boil away. Shemen's looking at me like I'm talking in some kind of. Yeah, they don't clean their undies and them. To sterilize their undies. And that's far from the worst thing that's been sterilized. On TikTok and their moon cups.

Minstrel cups. Yeah. Moon cups. People are gross. Don't trust anything. Gosh. Get a bloody moon cup of tea, am I right? I think you're a fire over there. Yeah, thank you.

Are you doing some comedy sometimes soon where I could come and enjoy? Oh, well, tomorrow actually. Thank you. I'm in Hastings. Tickets's available at Haley's Sparlocum. Oh, ma'am. Wish I was in Hastings. Catch some of that comedy. Someone messaged him before saying, I'd love to come,

but last time I was in Hastings, someone scratched my car or something. Well, that's not hastings. You can still come to the show on. That's not on you. That's not on me. That's not just, yeah. Unless it was you that scratched their car. Yeah.

Well, that was. was me. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I understand why you don't want to come. Can you guarantee this listener no one will scratch your car tonight? What do I have to do if it gets scratched?

Pay for it. Yeah. The Haley Sprowe car scratch guarantee. That's just that particular person. That comes with every ticket. With every, don't say that. No, it doesn't. It doesn't.

I'm scared. Somebody said I'm learning a lot about jugs and motels on the show this morning. I will never trust another motel jug again. You know, the people of, yeah. Someone messages that say that they travel with their 35-year-old soft toy, I don't. He doesn't come. He's too precious to get left behind. He's got to stay at home.

He's going to stay at home. He's going to say at home. Someone else, if we could just, um, permission to... Sidebar. Sidebar. Go ahead. Someone's to get a buckwheat pillow. It'll change your life.

No, that's... You put that in baking. That sounds like a sack, doesn't it? Are you sleeping on a sack, listener? Oh, if you are sleeping on a sack, we'll send you a bloody pillow. Organic buckwheat hook pillows. Yeah, so, what, they're just pillows full of... No.

It's like sleeping on a, um, a wheat sack. It'd be like sleeping on a wheat bag. A wheatie or a hacky sack. No, no. And then every time you turn, you'd just hear rustles. Oh, you know what I don't like that at all. It's got 4-10-5-star reviews on this. Here, let me go.

Let me tell you a bit. Experience, exceptional comfort in support of in nature's organic buckwheat. Norma said it. Buckwheat hussed pillows, highly acclaimed by our customers. These pillows are filled with organically grown buckwheat husk from the South Island of New Zealand, offering unparalleled support for the neck and spine. Oh, no. The natural resilience of the belly.

Buckwheat husks ensures the pillow maintains the shape throughout the night providing perfect alignment and support. I'm on the same website. Oh, you found the same. Say goodbye to fluffing and adjusting you're probably multiple times the night was because we're cute. Yep. I'm not adjusting my pillow. It's a memory foam.

I mean, it might be. I'm not put on it before I try, try it. But the buckwheat would move and the memory foam stays. And it would be like this. What if you got weevils? Yeah. It screams weevils. Surely the weevils would be after the buckwheat.

I don't want to have to throw out my whole pillow when I get weevils again. Don't bring weevils into our life. We're just trying to have a good night's sleep. Hold on. This might be a Korean invention and you know they can do no wrong in my eyes at the moment. Well, because you're a K-pop girly at the moment, aren't you? South, South. And I love the chicken. South. Sorry, South for South, yeah.

You're like Koreans, they can do no wrong. Yeah. They love a lot of mayonnaise on their chicken though, don't they? Oh, I had a Korean burger yesterday. What's your problem with that? No, no problem with it. No problem. I mean, it's a lot.

It's a lot, though. Sticky sweet. Sticky sweet. Sticky spicy sweet Korean chicken burger They're all so skinny It's unbelievable We can only

OZNPick It's got to be OZNP fried chicken Korea is skyrocketing up my list of destinations that I'd love to go to But I will never go to Because I'll never leave the country again You're in a personal recession I'm in a recession
