your chance to win all thanks to Neon. Coming up soon. We've got the top six as well, Vorno. Yeah, there's been. Thanks, Fletcho. There has been. Hey, my boysos. Buddy Halesie, I think it would be Halesie.

Halesi. Halezo. Fletcho. Vorney. Vorni. Vorni. Vennie, Vlechow and Hals. If we had a radio show,

in Australia, that's what they'd call us. Yeah, I know. They love to do that in Australia. Couldn't have born and harem here. You know, one of us would be, I'd probably be Vazer. Yeah, you'd be Vazer. Yeah, you'd be Flazor. Flazer.

Yeah. Hazer, Flazer and Faza. The whole thing. Yeah, there's been a census of 16,000 children. Oh. Give a little bit of a barometer of how the youth are doing. So I've got the top six findings. Findings.

Findings. From that census coming up. Okay. Let's kick off the show with something that the men are starting to get that women have been having for years. Okay. On the rise for the boys. Periods.

Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. Apparently, more men, more blokes, more of the broskies, are getting Botox, or as they're calling it brotox. Okay. Maybe we talked recently about scrotox. People were getting some Botox in the scrotum to smooth it out a bit. Yeah, weird. Which we sort of thought was quite odd.

I would know what to do it. with a how do you just be odd to see a smooth scrotium yeah you know what I mean

it would be just a perfectly like a skin egg a couple of skin eggs I guess I know a few guys that do

Brotox yeah are they all gay I think so yeah wait hold on all wait a minute

Scrotox I don't no no Brotox oh thank God well you normally get it thank no

God I know I thought Scrotox, we were all just having this laugh because how ridiculous the notion is and how no one's actually doing it. No, on the face. No, no, I know several straight guys that do it, yeah. Do you?

Yeah. I only know... Any guy that ever goes to the Casey Clinic. And no one that I'm going there for a rub. Because you're not allowed to be an influencer and post about Botox. No, yeah, you're not. Why not?

As a free service, you can. You can be an influencer and say, I've had Botox. But I don't know anything. any straight men that have, but just personally me, the male friends I have that have Brotox are all gay. Because I think we, because, like, you know, like celebrities like Daniel Craig and all that, they made frowning real sexy. You know what I mean?

Like Henry Cavill when he frowns and you get those big lines, men get sexier when they're brought the frowns. I'm really sorry about that. Yeah. You give us a frown? That men are allowed to age and be wrinkling and frowning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Men look so good with wrinkles. Yeah.

Well, it's on the rise. It's on the rise in New Zealand, but also all around the world. American plastic surgeons say that they've seen a 400% rise in men getting Botox in their face over the last 20 years. It's probably because they're with their wives who are getting it. And then the wives are like, hey, look. Yeah, you've got that little frown line. Let's get that. Yeah, and they're like, okay.

Let's give that little jab and stop that. I mean, they care about their appearance as well. Absolutely. More men are doing, you know, your manscaping and your face. facials and whatnot, looking after their skin wearing SPF. Skin care routine? Yeah, why not? It's actually pronounced spoof.

Spoof. Spoof 50. Always important to spoof the face. You've got to spoof the face, but at least spoof 50. Premature aging. Well, not, it's good advice. Yeah. We've got to protect yourself against the sun.

You had Botox recently on a dental side. Yeah, yeah. I've got Botox in my face. It's only like two days in. That's my frown. You look mildly inconvenience. I'm two days into the massacist, I can't be more than it is, the jaw muscles to stop my teeth grinding.

Was that, did you feel that injection like that? Yeah, yeah, it's not nice. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. It's just like sharp and squirty. Just you feel that's... But it stops you grind, it's meant to stop you grinding your teeth. Relax the jaw, which is good for people like me with anxiety or who just sort of like are a bit tightly wound and get that sore,

you'll get that kind of thing. So I'll report back, I'll let you know if it's working for me. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley From the Fletch Vaughan and Haley group chat, this is the Top Six. Is it? Today's top six, the

top six findings from a kids census. Yeah, this was a census at school survey. Yeah. Sushi tops, TikTok rules and Sigma is trending. 16,000 students from 310 schools took part in census at school.

Remember the University of Auckland with support from the Ministry of Education and Stats, New Zealand. They were looking to catch habits, culture and aspirations while teaching data literacy. Am I correct in remembering that we're not having the census anymore? We're not doing that ever again? Are we? Are we not?

Because they just have enough stats from other things. Yeah. Well, that's rude. I like filling them out. Oh, okay, so instead, from 2030 census-style statistics will be created from accommodation of data already collected. So maybe we might have one before then. One more?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, the traditional census has been switched off. Oh, no, they're saying 2023 has turned out to be the last year that the government will ask every person in the country to participate in the census. So they'll just do a bit of a smaller survey.

Huh. Huh. How are they going to know if I, if I become gay? You know? I think you should just let them know. They'll probably just look at it. in the middle of ring sensors. Ring Christopher.

Yeah. And we're like, hey, man, I'm gay now. Half of all students said they could play at least one musical instrument. Yeah. Most often piano or guitar. Yeah, that's where you start. Slaying Sigma, 14% of them said they'd use Sigma on the daily, followed by Skibbidi, Slay and Huzz.

I've never heard Huss. Never heard Huss. I did hear, so I witnessed the evolution of, like, you ate Oh yeah You know you ate And then it was like I cooked

Yeah The other day it was like Chomp I heard one of my daughter Say chomp I was like what She's like That's the noise you make

When you ate And then the other I heard another kid Go oh 4 plus 4 Oh my god Because what's 4 plus 4 8

Yeah It's I think just with The connectivity Of the children The language is evolving Far Coker Than it ever did

Yeah Yeah Because I'm also hyperconnected Well, they ask them about their favorite foods, sushi top the list, followed by pizza and chicken. And then they ask them, hey, kids, where would your ideal holiday destination be? Oh, yeah, what they say? Japan, Japan. Oh, they love the Japanese culture, and boo-boos.

Greece, Hawaii, and Fiji. Who's paying for this, you little shit? You little shit. I didn't even know what sushi was when I was a kid. I had a sandwich. Yeah. 3.8% wanted to be lawyers. Then doctor, vet.

Vets always a popular. Oh, my God. Everyone wants to put down everybody's Alsatians. Teacher, engineer, police officer pilot I've got the top six findings I found when I dug a little bit deeper on the kid census. Number six on the list,

the best chicken is nugget. Yes. And if you take them out to a fine dining restaurant, they still only want to order a nugget. They don't know Korean fried chicken yet. Like, they haven't matured. Get some Goshajong on there. Bulldog.

The noodles, the Bulldog noodles. I found a bottle of just the hot sauce. You can buy just that sauce. Oh my God, it's a game change. That's a freebie. Five on the list of the top sex findings from their child census when I dug a little deeper. They still love slamming doors.

Love slamming doors. You should put those things on their doors. Don't you slam that door? You should put those. No, those things that make a door shut slowly. Look at the dairy. Hydraulics. No, the hydraulic thing.

Yeah, yeah. And also a bell, so when they open the door, it goes, do-ding. Like coming into the dairy. So when you're having a tantrum, you look silly. Well, that dairy thing, it goes, Do do, do, do. Number four on the list of the top six

findings from the child census when I dug a little deeper. Vegis, still not as good as lollies. Yeah. That's a timeless. Lollies win when you're a kid. Lollies are going to win. Every time.

What is when you're an adult? Yeah, they do. Although, how good is a garlic char-g grilled Brussels sprout? Oh. To me, that's up there with any, done right, that's up there with any lolly. I've lit a bag of Brussels sprouts fester in the fridge, but I'm disgusted to myself.

That's unacceptable. Number three on the list of the top six findings are from the child census. They still like to be dropped off around the corner. Oh, because you're embarrassing. Shamed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love you. That's what my mum used to yell out.

The lazy children who like to be dropped off at the gate. I think they have a bit of relationship with their parents now. Probably, yes. Number two on the list of the top six findings from the child census that I found when I dug a little deeper. They know there's water in the tap. And they know there's food. at home. They just want fizzie though, don't they?

I know there's fruit in the bowl. And they want Mackie's on the way home. Nannultz. And number one on the list of the top six findings from the child census, they have recently found out that ice cream isn't just for summer. Oh, damn. Do you ever have that growing up? Can we have an ice cream?

It's not summer. No. No. There's always in the fridge. There's always in the freezer. There's ice cream in the freezer, but I'm talking when you're out and about. Oh, no. You know, allowed to eat ice cream. It's winter. Yeah, I wouldn't usually stop with the dairy for an ice cream in the winter. you should try it. It really hits different as an adult.

Doesn't melt as fast. It can hold together a crumbling life just that one day longer. Play. ZM. Fletch, Forne and Haley. Great little list here from intrepidtravel.com. 78 reasons to book the damn trip. Book a holiday. Get the hell out of here.

Right. So if you're kind of uming and a-aring, you're like, might be a little financially irresponsible to do this. Yeah. Okay. Give me a number. I can't read all 78. Fifty-four.

54, the 54th reason to book. Booking is the hardest part. Just close your eyes and hit the button. Okay. That's not a reason. Really, is it? Number 56, the time is now. Number 60, this might be in a moment.

Everything changes for good. That felt threatening. 65, you can do this. It's not really a reason, is it? Not really, are you? Seventy-one, fear is just your brain telling you that you're on the edge of something meaningful. See, that I like.

Give me another number. Fletch. Hit me with a number between... 23. 23. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Jeez. Gee, that one got dark. Although that's kind of good

because you wouldn't have to pay the holiday back. I like number 24. If you're ticking it up. Reasons to book a trip at the moment. It's time to car pay that damn. Oh, yeah. Yeah, right. Number 28.

Your couch has seen enough of your ass this year. I don't think my couch has seen nearly enough of my ass. I wish it had more. This is a great article, though, for those people that just need that little push, that little... Because you've ever done that thing where you're buying something online and you just leave the mouse there for, like, ages? And you're like, do you know what mine is at the moment? Okay, we can come back, I'll come back to what my mouse is. What is your mouse hovering?

A giant vase covered in ceramic strawberries. Oh, my God. Why do you buy this crap? It's not crap. You buy so much crap. That's not crap. We'll go back to the list and see if the list helps. Okay, so I'm going to use this list.

With the strawberry vase. Should I buy a vase that is made of ceramic strawberries? I'm going to go... We haven't even got your last ceramic purchase back to us yet. I don't know if we're ticking up another ceramic. No, this one I could easily get back. I'm going to look at number seven on the list to see if I should get the ceramic strawberry vase. Connecting with strangers can restore your faith in humanity.

That's more travel related. Well, that's more about almost getting Herman in the gym. German here. Yeah. It's never too late to start. That's another reason to book a damn trip. Not sure if group travels your thing, don't knock it till you've tried it. I don't want to travel in a group.

Don't knock it until you tried it. No, you've got to know who you're traveling this. Procrastination won't add stamps to your passport. That's good. I love this. I kind of hate how Australia don't give you a stamp now. Not a lot of places are doing stamps. No, yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of like stamps. Yeah. I like the stamps, yeah. Yeah. number 36 on the list of the reasons you should book the damn trip your cat won't miss you don't worry your cat might miss you yeah just leave it and no one's feeding it as for the kids don't worry it's your duty to actually be their role model

so leave your kids at home yeah yeah yeah yeah well now the cat's not lonely number 40 your inbox can wait reorganizing your junk drawer can wait that's a number Number 41. I feel like this list could have been 20. I feel like they're really stretched. Yeah. Number 44, you won't need dating apps if you meet the love of your life in Nepal.

Nepal. Okay. That's true, though. The love of your life could literally just be a flight away. Also, it would be great to help you with your bags and all the shopping and stuff, because aren't they very good at Shepers? So, so shirping, aren't they? Oh, my God.

It'd be perfect. Play ZM's, Flashbourne and Haley. Play ZM. Fletch Vaughan and Haley I don't have it yet because I'm not paying for YouTube premium at the moment so I'm just going to sit through an ad or 10

You're in a personal recession Yeah It's actually a personal recession It's actually deepening Okay right Okay Do you want me to play it Because I don't have

I'm not I'm not in a personal recession I'm back I'm back Here we go Here we go I'm surprised it wasn't an ad If you see a

Sin on the side of the road That says 15 miles to a shat Shannon's hack Shannon's hack baby We really should record an intro Just gotta get into that studio Yeah it's finding time

It's just every day after work We just want to go home We just want to leave Yeah well Shannon you've got a hack for us this morning Yeah I did say I saw someone on TikTok comment It's sad that Herman the German got an intro before I did

And that did hurt He is the nation's most beloved ceremony God, we've got so many great updates about our ceramic German Shepherd that's making his way up the country, people. I'm really getting into this. I'm so excited. Yesterday, our grip chat, we were just popping off.

Wait till you see the tank. Oh my God. It's so many messages in my DMs. I love it. Anyway, but you are, you know, you are our original sweet, sweet puppy. Thank you. Yeah, sometimes I do feel a little bit like a dog.

But no, I've got to have. today. Okay. Now, how good is a frozen pizza for dinner? Do you know what? I'm not, I'm never mad. It's easy, it's cheap. It's been years. It's fast. Yeah, I could not remember the last time because the delinos is so cheap, you know? So you just sort of... Nah, I hit it like weekly. Do you have a frozen pizza weekly? Yeah, because I don't have a freezer though. It's like you have to buy it day off. And then you just run home. Yeah. It says cook from frozen. Ah! No, I just put it in the top shelf of the fridge because

that kind of freezes everything a little bit and it stays there for the day. Anyway, frozen pizza is a classic. But everyone who has an oven knows you can only cook one frozen pizza at a time or a homemade pizza I'll accept. You know, the trays are built for one pizza. It's very frustrating because a lot of people are in four-person households. I know this. And want two pizzas.

Want two pizzas. And then what, doing a dance between two trays? Horrible. Horrendous. I won't put up with it a second like that. I'm just worried as to where this is going now. She's not going to sandwich the pizzas No, I'm not an idiot

If she burgered the pizza No, that would make a calzone You know what I just Yeah, we'll make a calzoni And I'll like, like what non I used to make Is that your Italian? No, it's more Australian Italian Kai, it's a little bit different

No, that's straight up South Africa No, it's not It's weird It was gazoni It's weird It's weird It's weird It's what it is

Yeah, no, my heck is I want you to cut the pizza while frozen get a big knife into halves and then I want you to imagine put the straight edges to the corner the straight edges of the tray you can now fit. She's using maths.

I'm using maths. You can now fit. Oh yes you got the semicircles coming in and... More halves on your tray. Everyone's having dinner and this also then makes serving easier because man I struggle the cheese really throws me off cutting a hot pizza. She struggles of life like everything's tough.

She's like, did you hear it? Man, this cheese, it's a night there. I love it, but God is testing me. I wonder where the half point of this round circle is. I can't see it because of all the cheese. Sweeping all the toppings off to see where we're out. Let me clear this shit out of the way. And they're just putting it back on and by hand.

Stop it, that's not what I meant. I get it. It's maths. This is straight up maths. And if you're going to deny it. I'm sorry, but if you've got a good oven, ovens are really good these days. You can do two levels of pizza. No, you are so wrong. I switch.

Yeah, no. I do that with cookies. I'll do half on the top, half on the bottom. How do you're making? You're going to rotate. You used to make a lot more than you do now. Cookies. Yeah, I used to, yeah. Back in the...

Make use of that kitchen aid that sits on your bench, collecting dust. By the way, I've been looking into buying one of those because we've been baking a lot lately. Don't take his. Well, that's... Borrow Uncle Fletcher's. For an infinite amount of time. No, yeah, because Uncle Fletch doesn't make cookies anymore.

I'll make some this weekend just to Okay, you better bring them in on Monday Justify my use It's not bad actually if you've got a small oven Well no just even like a normal tray I've got a 900 by the way Okay well no But I'm just thinking you've come home from work

You're tired, you've got kids perhaps There's four of you Let's just be simple No tray switching needed Cut your pizzas in half Face them outwards towards the straight edge of the tray Two pizzas that once I can't

I can't fault her because It makes great sense Good use of maths. It's a situation. Not everyone's going to find themselves on, though. But I'm not everyone's going to find themselves. You know what I mean? It's not giving five.

It's a 2.5 for me. It's a 3. What about 4? Because you get four halves of the pizza. No, that's not how the scoring system works. And you actually don't get a say on the score. I think a 3. A 3.

Okay. Solid's 3 for me. Yeah. Because I like the inclusion of some basic geometry. Yeah. Okay. We'll give you a 3.333333. Kyrfinite. Yes.

Yay, thanks guys. Play Z-M's Flashworn and Haley. I've known you. I'm not going to say what it was. I've known you for 21 years, what you just said, truly shocked me in my core. He said it with no joke either. I'll never repeat that. Thank you, Lord. Thank you.

That was an inappropriate joke. But you just got VIP parking in hell. Thank you. You get to pipe right by the door. You're welcome. It was disabled parking. They've crossed it out. They've put your part.

All right. I saw this this morning and I was like what's going on here Millie Bobby Brown has put on Instagram two hours ago 1 million likes so far No comments, you turned off the comments Wise

Yeah wise Do you know I've listened to a couple of podcasts With Millie Bobby Brown And like here was a kid who Was skyrocketed To start him At such a weird age Where you don't even know

Anything about yourself Let alone who you are and then when people start telling you who you are anyway, she's, I've always been quite impressed with how she's handed herself in interviews and stuff. Totally. Because it would mess you up, man. Very mature. Like becoming like a global superstar. Overnight.

Yeah. And she did that thing. It must be hard to be a woman, you know, becoming a woman, because everyone saw her as this kid and then she does cleavage and everyone's like, how dare you? Well, that was the thing. When she was cast in Stranger Things, they needed a, not Androgynous isn't the right word, but they needed a small child

that was neither very feminine nor very masculine and now she is developed into a woman and everyone's freaking out and doesn't know what to do it. She's got boobies and she's being sexy like she's in her twinners. She's a child from a laboratory!

So she's posted on Instagram in a joint post with her husband, Jake Bon Jovi, John Bon Jovi's son, Jake. Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi. This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are both beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood and both peace and privacy.

And then we're three love Millie and Jake Bon Giovi. Cute. So they've adopted. Going out of the rack. She has a hell of a set of animals. Oh my God, she owns like a ranch. She's got like a Millie Rescue animals, yeah, yeah. Lots of dogs, lots of, she's talked on one of those podcasts about her animals.

And yeah, she's just like, I just love like adopting animals. Yeah. And so it kind of follows us that she's gone through the adoption process and adopted a baby. Does it, is there any information on where the baby's from? Like, did she adopt from overseas or did she adopt from America? Nothing, that's all it is. You know what way back when Ange and Brad were like making a whole set of kids from like all the African countries? The little UN.

Well, yeah, the little United Nations. They're all grown up now. Yeah. And half of them like, yeah, it's like real. There's some drama there, right? None of them talk to Brad. Brad. God, it's all going.

It's all just let Brad get away. Do they not talk to Brad? No. Has anyone seen the F-1 movie? No. No. That looked really good and I had all intention of watching that on a very large screen with those speakers that freak me out. I'm like, whoa, me.

And you're like, Jesus Christ. Oh, really? So they had Maddox, Zahara, and then they... You're going to freak people out. How old's the oldest one? Maddox. Yeah, man, he's a man. 24 years old.

What the f? He's 24 years old. Do you know why? Because he was born in 2001. Impossible. That's impossible. That was only 10, by Mike, oh, I know, 12 years ago. No, no, no.

No, it's not 24 years ago. Play Z-M's Fletchforn and Haley. Fletchforn and Haley, silly little pole, silly little it is so silly, silly, silly, silly, That's silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

Silly little pole Silly little pole Is it ever okay To talk at the cinema? We asked this question today Because a man was This happened in Boston A 35 year old man

A Brazilian man was Watching Weapons Which apparently is amazing I want to see weapons I know apparently it's really good So he was watching weapons and there were a group of

described as teenagers that were talking during the moving so he was just like, hey guys hey shush, shush, shush, shush. He said they were disturbing all of the people clapping and screaming all the time Oh shut up. He said he asked them for respect asked them to leave the theatre because everyone

just wanted to watch the movie. Of course. So he was ignored. He tried again. The teens didn't take it well and that's when a couple of people punched him. Sorry, I don't mean to laugh. Yeah. Not funny.

He said, I didn't fight back, you know, so there was just a couple of punches and then they left. And that's when police were called. But yeah, it's kind of like... It's good to see kids, you know, returning back to being kids, you know? Attacking adults. Yeah, punching adults and stuff. Not respecting their elders. Yeah, yeah, screw you, old man.

Weapons, 94% on Rotten Tomato. Yeah, I've heard it's good. 3.8 on letterboxed. Who's in it? When all but one child from a classroom mysteriously disappear on the same note at exactly the same time community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance we've got a bit of a thriller yeah a spooky who done it

julia garner from ozark she was a silver set from fantastic four uh amy madigan josh brolin benedict wong austin abrams also says that another j j abrams nepo baby but no oh olden eytenreich oh yeah of course yeah who played hans solo in that in the sorry hans solo movie what's his name

olden itn wring right i don't know if you're saying that right Just give it another go? Anyway, we're not going to talk about that movie. It's mysterious, but I want to say that. But we asked, what do you think about talking in the movies? Because, you know, occasionally you might be with friends. You'd be like, oh my God, where's that guy from?

I recognise that. I'll lean in. I'll give you a whisper. Yeah, but you're not talking. That's the guy from Deadlaso. Or on your phone, like, you're at the movies. Come on. And it costs a fortune.

Oh, no. Shut up. Like, shut up. Shut up. So don't talk. However, we asked you, an 83. percent of people said, no, it's never okay to talk at the cinema, but 17%

he'd yes it is. Actually, this had a flashback to us being quite hypocritical there and talking the entire time through. But it was only the three of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was just, that was a private screening. He was a security guard there to make sure we were... He was only there to make sure we were videoing. He didn't shush us. Yeah. But he... But we had such a good catch-up. I actually think

the good catch-up on the running commentary on the movie made Jurassic Park re-birthed a better movie. Yeah. But I... We added to it. I did feel for the security. security guard who probably wanted to just watch the movie. No, I don't think he did. No, no, no, he was loving our chat.

All right, Joe, some feedback on it, Joanne said, but what happens when you were just simply bored? Joanne, I would say, get your ass up and leave. If you don't like a movie, you can go. You can leave. I feel like when you go to the movies, you've got to... I'm only going to pay for a movie when I know it's good. When I really want to see it in the movie.

Exactly. You don't just go... I can't wait to see Naked Gun. Oh, my God, same. I was thinking that... Not traditionally a movie movie, that's a streaming movie, but we've got to support comedy at the movies. otherwise they'll stop making them.

Well, should we go next week? When's the last time there was comedy at the movies? I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You really struggle to think of a big comedy movie. Because it's like, it's all action and stuff, which I get. Yeah. But no, I'm so keen.

There's family movies at the movies, or action movies at the movies. Or like those big, like, blockbuster, your wickets and such. Yeah. Yeah, Barbie, maybe. No, I wouldn't even say Barbie was comedy. It was a blockbuster with like a heart. Yeah. It did have heart.

Caroline said... Caroline. Caroline. All the guys will say she's mighty fun. We're doing the Outcast. Do you want to join in? No. Oh, okay.

Sorry, Miss Jackson. Oh, I am for real. Never meant to make you daughter cry. I apologize a million times. Hey, don't distract me because that's given good flashback Friday. But I'm sorted. Do the entire Outcast catalog. You've actually got a...

Roses from Outcast. This, by the way, we've covered a lot in this break. You've got a Friday flashback for us today which involves a boy band returning to New Zealand slash Australia. That's right. So I'll stick with that.

Okay, let's get back to our Talking in the Movies poll. Caroline! Said, oh my God, no, I can't stand it. Same with people texting because the light from their screen is so distracting. Yeah. I went to the movies on Tuesday nights

or Toxic Avenger. The exit light never dimmed. It was so distracting how bright the exit light. Turn those up. We don't need to know if there's a fire. We'll all run and panic. We'll find out what the light says. Answering the phone is even worse, says Charlotte.

Who? No, you've got to leave. I'm sorry. You. I'm sorry you've witnessed that, Charlotte. That's terrible behaviour. Tegan said, only ever, if it's a whisper to the person you're with and no one else can hear. Yeah, fair.

It's quite romantic to a movie whisper. We can hear it, Tegan. Why's your, wait, wait, wait, why, see, why, it cuts through. Where do I recognize that guy from? Yeah, yeah. Because social experience. are fun, said Leisha. Not obnoxious conversation, only to whisper loudly,

I think I got nits. And then the watch the people are with an airshot start scratching. Why are you distracting from the cinematic experience? That's not very nice. I once went with two work friends and one of them paid for all three of our tickets, said Matilda. Then in the middle of the movie, they literally took a phone call. There in the cinema and my other friend and I was speechless and didn't know if we could tell them off because they technically paid for the tickets.

And I was a young at the time. I wouldn't stand for it now. Wild, Mattilda. That's crazy. Wild behaviour to take a phone call. Only during the ads. Is it okay to talk? Yeah, the trailers.

You can say how excited you are about the trailers. Hannah said a whisper at the most, but I'm super funny and comedic, though, so surely everyone in the cinema wants to hear me. And Taylor said, like, no, shut the F up, or I'm going to have to waste this box of popcorn by throwing the entire thing at you.

So silly little poll today, we asked, is it ever okay to talk at the cinema? And 17% of you said, yes, it is. Play ZM's Fletch forne and Haley. This is, We're living in odd times, aren't we, with social media and how connected we all are and everything that gets put up on the internet.

Yeah. And one of the discussions is about how that's leading to quite a bit of soft cheating. Now, there's hard cheating would be, I would say, shagging someone else when you're in a relationship. Physical, yeah, the physical stuff. Yeah. You know, with the bits. Yeah.

Then there's a... And then you'd say hard cheating would still be an emotional affair. You know, full-blown emotional affair Very much cheating If you're in a marriage or a relationship And then monkey barring on to the next one Monkey barring Hold it on to the last one

Before you reach for the new one That's cheating Bit of overlap Historically that's what I've called it Bit of an overlap Yeah The bigger the ven, the bigger the middle The worse the cheating

But this is all very defined It's cut and dry It's cheating Right, that's cheating Soft cheating is referring to Soft cheeses Like your Breeze I love soft cheeses

Camember Do you know what I froth at the moment Because it's just so mild and nutty It's just Havati You know what I mean Yeah man Like when there's a Havati

And you have a bit You're like that's sweet Would I be out of line To propose Go ahead Amongst the three of us A baked wheel of Brie With honey and hot

Of donuts on top That's good Yeah I'm I'd be down for that. We'll get in there with a bit of crack. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, with a bit of Odie crack. Love that.

Great idea. They should do that at Halletower. Around from me, we could do that. Do they? Do they do a bake brie? I'm in a person in recession. I'll shout the bake brie. Leaning.

So I was thinking we could do it at home and save ourselves some money. Because I'm worried if I don't address my personal recession, there may be stagnation. Right, yeah. A stagnation of the Vaughn economy. I reckon Fletch, you pay for it because it's cheaper than driving all the way our way. Yeah. Okay, so we're going to do a bake bray. Okay, good.

Anyway, we've been... Soft cheating is what I'm talking about. Not soft cheeses. Not soft cheeses, but just Havati, you know. If you're wondering for a cheese for your weekend, Shakurray. Refers to the betrayal grey areas that technology brings. Things like interacting with posts from Instagram models,

subscribing to people's only fans. That's way to hold on. Gosh, darn. That's wildly different things. The third option that I've given is watching porn behind your partner's I'm going to watch it in front of them That'd be a weird place to watch What are you up to?

I'm just going to actually drop my pants and watch some porn For me. Should we watch it together? No, I don't like porn. That's all fun. You just stand there and watch me do it. It's just like, you know, no secrets. That one aside, let's talk about those other two.

Interacting with posts from Instagram models Like liking, hearts, subscribing to people's only fans. It's just another thing. Liking and Instagram models post picture is the equivalent of having a poster on your wall. No, that's not because you couldn't interact with the person

on the poster. They're getting all these lights and they're not going to go into their like section and be like, there's a go this luck, my thing. Oh, I'll sleep with him. But what about liking someone that's hot that's in your city or town? That's achievable. So they're saying that the new one, so liking a post

of a gorgeous model, it does have a form of anonymity. We can see it, though, Vaughn. I don't care. The new one is, yeah, she's hot. Tell me she's not. Now liking an Instagram story from someone is the new one added to the list. Shady social media behaviour they're calling it

because if it's someone you know, because you've got them on your story, and then you're chucking them a heart or a like. Would I know that you've liked someone else's story? No. Yes, yes. So when you go on a story though, oh no, that's unreal.

That's unreal. Yeah, that's, no, because I don't think you would, unless your partner... Oh no, but the flirting is received by the person who's put up the story. story. If you just do a heart on a story, that doesn't send them a notification saying, if you react to it.

Yeah, it does. If you react, not just that heart beside the forward. Yeah. It does. It sends it to them. No, that's no. They don't get it in their inbox. They don't get that in their inbox. Because I only just recently found that out. But if you react like with another emoji, that will go in their inbox.

Ah, okay. But they can see on their story that you've hearted that. So yes, they would see that as a flea. Yeah, they have to go and look to find it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if they're saying and they're like, why is Vaughn-hearted my deadlift?

I'm shocking it. I'm just sitting in watch stories and I'll be like, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. That's a moral grey area. I'm just sending the wrong message. I'm not sniping. I'm just, brr-gag-gag-gag-gag-gag-gag-gag.

And it's like, all my friends that are like, yes, great stuff. Oh, your baby's 10 months old. Like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ha. Yeah, hot boobs. You've got a great bond. Hip thrusts, like. So 34% of people say they've ended a relationship

due to something happening on social media So interacting, that would be your DMs as well And all that kind of stuff That's why occasionally you'll see guys just go dark on the social medias Because they've liked a hot model Or there's been some kind of inappropriateness Yeah, you could always, yeah They'll come back a few months later

And they'll be a bit more behaved Yeah, yeah yeah Gazz is not on Instagram anymore Where's this page gone? Social media girlies would you dump a boyfriend if you'd like to hot bikini models photo? No, I've got a pretty high bar for cheating.

I think more than the average person. You've just got to see it happening or something. Yeah, my bar's infreignation. And even there, I sit in the chair and it's okay. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. That was a joke. You know where you've got to be real careful of. I've been like I got into a bit of a hat of

liking some real dark reels. Oh, me too. And people messaging to you and they say, are you okay? Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley Well, the lock to my apartment For the last, I'd say year Has been progressively getting worse and worse I know, every time I stay and you give us a key

It's like, you put the key in and then like you put the key in straight Like it's like from mid midnight to six Yeah, yeah Like it's that angle straight up and down And then like it won't turn Sometimes you have to be like jiggle jiggle jiggle And you're gonna pull it out a little bit Yeah yeah

Or like to the right and then it will let you go See, I like a lock that does that because only you know how to open it. So should somebody get your key and they'll be like, oh no, this isn't the right key because I can't get in safety. It's definitely, no, it was definitely like different every time. And then sometimes you just put it in the lock and it would open the door straight away. Yeah. So it's been a, and like lately, I think the other day it took me a couple of minutes to get in because it just would not open. And I was like, and then the other day, Haley and I were leaving, you were staying.

Yeah. And I went to lock the door with my, with the arm. That I've had shoulder surgery on And I twisted it And oh my God It felt like my arm had popped off Or something called fallen off And it's most kind of seen you in.

I dropped in pain, eh? I was just like, oh no. Like there's a couple of times after surgery I'll just forget that I've had surgery And reach for something And I'd be like, oh And it would just drop me Because it's a horrible pain.

Yeah. And so I was like, you know what? I am finally calling a locksmith. And then yesterday I said to we should try to fix it ourselves. So apparently, like, after time, like the lock, the things inside the pins wear down. Yeah, they do. The lock smithel was saying.

So he, like, took the lock off, went to his van, came back up in five minutes. Oh, my God, it's like, the key just goes in and turns. There's like no reason. I should have done that. Is your lock through that when you slide it in now? Because your lock used to be like, no, not tonight. I got a headache. That's what you said.

But now you've got a new exciting lock. I know. I know. It's honestly, it's like a brand new lock. And I'm like, why didn't I do this a year ago? Like, it's just those little things that you're constantly putting off. It's not a major. I've got a list of them.

Yeah. And it's like, you're just putting that off. And it's like, just do it. Mine's the will. I don't have a will. And I have a will to live, but not an actual will if I don't. How did you find that? I found one and it's fun.

But I've been, that's been on my to-do list, I'd say, for five years. Yeah. Well, see, this is what I wanted to talk about because I've been putting this up for a year. And now it's fit. It's like, how long was the locksmith at your house? Like, oh, 15 minutes? Yeah, totally. Like, so good.

Okay. So, and this is what I wanted to talk about this morning. Call us, 0,800 dials at em, text through, 9-696, what have you been putting off? Like, and they just, and it bugs you every time. Maybe it's something wrong with your car and you're like, but you just know you've got to pay to get it fixed. You've got to find the time. Totally. Or like, like, like, shoes.

You always see people with, like, falling apart shoes and like, yeah, no, I've got to take it to the. That's worn at the moment Oh yeah we're running shoes My big toes have come up Through the big toe bit And there's a hole in each of them But I'm just like I can still run in these for a while

I mean there's personal recession But there's also just going by some cheap sneakers You know I'm not I won't but I won't No I've actually actually had news My personal recession has moved into stagnation Right okay I'm in a stagnation period

So those things that you just put up with That are broken but need fixing Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Play ZM's Fletcher Born and Haley. Well, finally, Fletch, you yesterday fixed your door lock. Well, a man did. I didn't.

A real man came out and fixed it for you. Well, he's got a machine to fix the thing in the middle. Yeah, yeah, so easy. Did you watch him do it? No, it's in his van. Did he take it out and take it down to his van? Do you know what I want, though? One of those, like, fancy electronic locks?

Yeah. So, yeah, or you put your fingerprint on it or you put in a code? One of those. Yeah. Or there's those, like, you can even get those Alexa ones? Can you? Yeah, well, you, it's, it's, it's, I'm. On your Alexa, and when you were, like, walking up, you get Alexa unlocked the front end up.

Yes, yeah, I'd like that. Because the pin number thing's not good for me if I've had a coupley. Do you know what I mean? Well, you'll forget a pin number even when you're drunk. Well, maybe. Because you wouldn't make it your usual pin number. You'd make it a bit harder to get into it. I would. I'd make it my usual pin number.

And then I'd lose that and everything. And then everything else because they figured it out. Everything. Everything. So we want to know what have you been putting off, fixing or doing. No shortage of our procrastinators here. Okay. Well, here's that one.

I have to use a screwdriver to open my car door. That's good though because no one else is going to be open it. Unless you've got a screwdriver. Yeah. Yeah. A chip of my windscreen that's been there for months that keeps looking at me funny. You go over a couple of jutter bars. And the chip will start looking at you.

You're real funny. You had one of those and it just got bigger and bigger and bigger. It was below the windscreen wiper. And I had a judder bar and I just went, whi-up. And then every time I hit another bar, I go, whi-f, further up. That wasn't great. The motor on our electric gates stopped working after Cyclone Gabriel. I mean, that's been a number of years.

I make the kids get out and drag it open and close, and if the kids aren't in the car, I'll just leave it open because I can't be asked. Yeah. Yeah. That's one of those classic things you put off. Windscreen wipers, every time it rains, I curse the flappy rubber swishing on the glass, doing absolutely nothing but reminding me that I suck up being an adult.

Do you find that text interesting? Wouldn't understand the relevance. Wouldn't understand the relevance to the show. Maybe they're scared of it. Well, maybe it's an operation where someone slices up in your balls out, cut some cord, and then burns some stuff. Maybe. Chicken. Oh, what's it like to have your genitals hurt once?

The amount of people messaging us personally and the show and the producers saying how can I get involved in bringing Herman the German, the German.

a life-sized ceramic statue home to Auckland from Christchurch. Well, he made it to Wellington. Max showed him around Wellington and the photos are incredible. They're going to be on the socials today at some stage, FVHZM. You best believe he went to the bucket fountain. He went to the bug, he went to a dog park. Oh my God, he does. Max absolutely excelled.

Yeah, thank you, Max. Some great content coming through. Now, that's not on our socials yet because the girls are collating. Calating it all. Because we've had so much wonderful content. We have. Now, Max drove to Parmy to handoff to our current courier, Aaron. Hello, Aaron.

Who joins us on the phone. Good morning, how are you doing? Really good. Good. Now, you work with the Defence Force because we saw some photos of our beloved pooch. Yes. With sort of military equipment. Yes, yes, indeed.

Yeah, I was able to go out camp, get a couple of photos of whom in. we'll see your equipment. Yeah, lovely. This is so stupid, Aaron. Did you think joining the New Zealand Defence Force that you would ever be carding a ceramic dog around?

I've carted many things, but definitely not a ceramic dog, so no. It's a special journey. Vaughn, could you bring up some music please for us now? Just, if you could just one moment, please, Aaron. This may be some sad music. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Don't. No. No. What? No. What's happened?

You better tell Haley what's happened. So, firstly, Haley, you're a great presenter. You're a great comedian. You add so much value to the show. And I think the boys would be lost without you. In saying that. In saying that. In saying that. Unfortunately, though, after I took a photo with Herman at one of your show sponsors, McAfee... Previous, previous show sponsor, we owe them nothing. We love them, but we owe them nothing.

Okay, carry on. As I was walking out the door, a lady tried to help me get Herman through the door. Instead of pushing, she pulled, and the door whacked his leg off. So about the bottom half of his leg is missing. glitch, it's not like it's not a time to laugh. You shut your mouth, Carl. You should see the photo, Haley.

It's missing a leg. What the hell, Aaron, happen? We're on day two of a period. This is not the time. She's in period, pain. I filled up a hoddy for her a couple of times today. The timing couldn't be worse for you, Aaron. If it makes you feel any better, Haley.

My wife has done some visionary nurse training, so as soon as we got home, we've got into operation and tried to do the best we can. Okay. Did that make it better or worse, Aaron? I kept away from the situation. Ironically, I was put in the dog box.

Yeah, I'm sure. This is not a time for puns and jokes, Aaron. I've been researching ceramic repair and I think, I almost think it's better. We don't do anything. We leave this to the professional. For God's sake. Now, Aaron, this is under your care.

How many bits is leg in, Aaron? Uh, two at the moment. Two. See, it's, it's, it's repairable. I think it's repairable. I think it's, from my research, it's repairable. I know. I almost think we get it repaired using that, I'm Japanese technique. Yeah, yeah.

Where they use the gold to show that you're stronger after these sorts of challenges. And then we put a bandage over it. No, we don't put a bandage over it. This is just. Aaron, I think, thank you for breaking this news to me. And it's, not, not thinking for breaking my dog. I don't blame you personally. What was the lady?

pulled the door instead of pushing it. Yeah, well, shit. Did you get her name and insurance details? No, I was too shocked. I was embarrassed. Yeah, okay. Wow, okay, Aaron. I don't really know what to do with this information. I'm just processing. Well, he is.

We'll probably need to get a picture of that up online. Yeah, we'll get a picture. We'll get a picture now. If anyone specializes in ceramic repairs. So many, he's made it so far. He's going to be in Napier for the weekend. So I don't know if anybody in Napier, we can maybe deal with that next on the show.

Okay. If anybody deals in ceramic dog, Lifes Alsatian dog repairs in Napier Hastings area let us know I just I don't want Aaron to feel We've been sitting on this since last night Like

And this was his reaction last night And this was my reaction last night I was like this is great Oh no Well we're having three different reactions aren't we Thank you We will Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley

Fletcheron and Haley Fletchhorn and Haley Are bringing Herman home If you've just joined us, Hayley recently purchased a life-sized German shepherd on Trade Me, a ceramic German Shepherd, and we just broke the news to her moments ago. He broke the news to me.

That his leg has been broken and is not attached to him because a lady was opening a door and instead of pushing pulled it and it smashed into his leg. And I'll say considering that he was picked up by our office, then picked up by Stevie, taken to Picton, put on a boat, picked up by Max, by Aaron, take him to palm.

I understand. You know, I understand. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Like, this dog has been in a lot of photo shoots. Yeah, but from now on, anyone who gets possession of our beloved Herman the German, we're just going to have to be careful. He's already injured. And I'm doing a Kitsugi course this weekend.

Kitsugi, that's it, the Japanese. Is that the Japanese piece? That's the Japanese art of fixing broken things with gold to show that you're more valuable and precious once you've repaired yourself than you were. Well, he's made it to the bay. He has. He's in safe hands. With Damo, the chief fire officer.

And I believe right now you are in our beloved Judy Drench, the Hawks Bay Fire Truck. That's the one, yeah? Yes. This is the meeting of two show icons because we help name the fire truck. Yeah, at Napier Airport. Yeah, at Napier Airport. And so you're in the truck now, Damo, with Herman. How's his leg looking good?

Damo, and be real with me. His legs actually looking pretty good. The firemen have done some first aid on him. Oh, this is good. He's banded it up. Yep. We've got some first responders. Yeah, of course.

Looking after the dog here. This is great. Or does he seem happy? How's his spirit? Oh, no. He's looking well chuffed to be in the truck. He's sitting on the second to see. Good boys always love running in trucks.

I'm excited to see these photos, Damo. This is great. Yeah. So what's the plan over the weekend who'll just hang out at the airport? So I think he's got a primary school He wants to go and visit Oh this is nice Now okay well hang on though

He's not a toy They look they don't touch They look they don't touch They look they don't touch And then I think he's going to get a hawksby experience From our marketing team Yeah maybe one of those last week Maybe an Art Deco experience

That would be amazing He's getting some face on with the mayor Hitting some wickets Oh he can do So he's going to meet them here He's going to go to some vineyards He's going to have a lovely, lovely time with you But right now he must be a happy boy

In our beloved Judy Drenched Fire Truck at Napier Airport Thank you so much for having him with you today, Damo Are we anticipating any emergencies? Always not wanting one Yep, but always ready Always ready. Always ready, yeah, great Do you think he'll be a good service dog?

Well, he's been pretty happy I think he'd be quite useless in a fire to be honest A bit of him strapped down Because when we went down to name Judy Drench We got to squirt the hose We went to go on the runway Didn't we go on the runway You're going to let him squirt the hose

One leg makes it a little bit difficult Yeah Okay, well we're having to do anything Damo, thank you for showing him the Hawks Bay Hospitality this weekend And looking after him And then we'll get him next Monday We'll get him on the wrong

road, the final legs up to Auckland. Don't say leg, Fletch, terrible choice of wood. It's a terrible choice there. It was a poor choice. Oh, stop it. Thank you, Damo.

What did you just do? I just pinched my finger, but then I'm not... Just pinched your finger? The finger got pinched at the microphone stand. Oh, God. Now, I'm going away for the week here. I'm going Australia. That's been nice.

Yeah, it is. Thank you. And usually when I go to Australia, I'll book a bag. I always book a bag. Because it's about the fashion horn, you know? Like it's about different outfits and everything. But I didn't book a bag this time. I was like, I'm only going for two nights.

I'll just book a carry-on. Well, I went with you one weekend, and your suitcase was 24-carriage. For the weekend. For the weekend. It was insane. I did bring a couple of candles over as a gift for my brother. Right. So that was our KG of that.

I know. And I know I overpacked, but I just was like, I won't this weekend. It's fine. So I got home yesterday and I was like, right, I'm going to pack for this weekend. I got home at 4pm. 4 p.m. was the time I had. Come 9 p.m., I still hadn't packed. I could not figure it out.

know how people do this how do you book an overnight bag i do undies undies undies how many nights am i there for two so i only five to eight pairs of undies undies undies undies socks socks socks i'll just wear the jeans i'm gonna wear shirt shirt shirt shirt wear a jacket oh my god when i went away for two and a half weeks with you in june i took my wheelie suitcase and my backpack yeah and i took my refrigerator suitcase and you had a really really really good time i just had undies undies undies undies undies it was summer so i was like burks Undies, undies, undies. A couple of t-shirts, a couple of shorts, done.

Done. Toiletries. But I always want a couple of shoe options. I'll go a classic shoe, like today I'm wearing a loafer. And I'll have to have a sneaker as well. Right. So then you're going, I've got to then book,

I've got to sort of pack a casual outfit around the sneaker. And I've got to pack nicer outfits around the loafer. And then I was trying to get them all in, and I was absolutely paralyzed with indecision. I was like five hours sitting there. And I just looked at it. And I was talking on the phone to my brother. He was like, have you packed?

I was like, no, I don't know what to pack. He was like, wear a t-shirt and then wear it home. You just, wear what you're wearing on the first day when you're on your flight, and then you just have some, a couple of changes. No, and then I... Some t-shirts and some undies. Everyone, I'm going on a big trip, people are like, have you packed yet? I'm like, no.

Oh, my God, you pack so late for any truck. Yeah, dude. It really stresses me out. Because I'm, what if I need that thing? Oh, what if I pack it in the bag and then I need it? No, last minute pack, and it's never let me down. Oh. I'll buy a toothbrush when I get down, because I always forget them.

I'll buy my stuff when I get there. When we all go away in October, you're going to have to be organised. No, we're packing for. I thought you were packing for me because you don't want to know where we're going. That's right, because it's a mystery for more. The issue was that, and then I found this shirt, and I was like, I've never been able to style this shirt.

So then I got distracted in my wardrobe and just started to put in together cute outfits. And then I was like, oh, I sort of want to bring this outfit to Australia, and that had to be introducing a third shoe option. And then it just got completely out of hand. You're overthinking. thinking this? I just think I'm a bad gal. You know, like I'm a

suitcase gal for two nights. Aren't the whole time you're just hanging around with friends? Like, you're not even going out, are you? No. So what's... I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I just, I don't know how people do it. And I can't believe how distracted I got and it was so late. Yeah. It was stressful, man. Well, did you end up packing?

Yeah, but I don't know what it's in there. I panicked. I think it is just undies now. Right. Play. Z.m's, Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Fat of the day, day, day, day, day. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. It's been a size and scale week here at fact of the day.

We've looked at different units of measurement and today I thought I'd run through some of the quirkier ones. Okay then. Look, you quirky boy. Okay, some quirky lengths and distances to start. Of course, you've got the furlong, which is a furrow long. That was the length of a plowed field. So it's at 201 current meters.

Still use it in horse racing. I wouldn't use that. I wouldn't use that. For a furlong. You know what I'm name? What about a smoot? A smoot? How long's a smoot?

A smut is approximately 170 centimeters. It was an MIT rank in 1958. Oliver Smut was used to measure the length of the Harvard Bridge. So one smut at 100. 170 centimetres, it was 5'7, it was a little fellow. The bridge is still marked in smots today. How many smuts? Yeah, how many smuts is that?

So if you know somebody that's 177 centimetres... 170 centimetres. Oh, sorry, 170, they're a smot. I'm a little bit taller than a smot. I'm 179. Yeah, you're a smote. Smot point nine. Smot point nine.

Smot point zero nine. A smot point zero nine, would you be a smot point zero nine or smot point nine? It's a point nine or zero nine? No. 170 plus nine. No, you'd be well short of a 0.9 of a smot. Yeah, that's what I thought. That's nearly a whole nother smot.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Point nine would indicate. The 1.9, just shy of two smot. Okay. Okay, stone, which probably isn't that weird to us because we grew up being weighed in stones, but it's a UK weight that just blows people's mind. I don't understand stone.

How many KGs? It's 6.35 KGs. And it is literally like the weight of a stone that they used to weigh things. How many stones are they? Right. And America does, what, do they? pounds yeah that's weird as well pounds the stones especially because like when you say how

heavy you are it's way it's a big number it's like 200 pounds whereas we can just feel like oh my god I'm just like 90 yeah yeah a scruple is a weight measurement of 20 grains yeah it equates to about 1.3 grams a slug is an obscure unit of mass used in the imperial system one slug is that what it's about 14.6 kilograms Oh, that's a lot. Oh, that's a lot. And Aruba is a Spanish-Portuguese unit for both weight and volume. It comes from the Arabic word Arab, which meant the quarter.

And the at sign was originally shorthand for Aruba. The one that we use like at email.com. Yeah, right. That was usually, that was a weight and volume measurement in Arabic maths. How cool. Yeah. Temperature, there's a whole lot of different scales there. It was the remi.

scale at zero remur is freezing at 80. It was boiling because it was used for French cheese making. Oh. I'm more into my Havartis at the moment. You've said that several times already. I'm just considering buying a block today. Food and drink? Havardi's a squeaky one, eh?

No, that's Hulumi. Havardi's a very sweet, sort of nutty, smooth, yeah, yeah, lovely. I don't know your cheeses. I don't like Hulumi. You're kidding. Good. Gilled Hulimi. It's like eating polystyrene.

You're like eating polystarring, I imagine. I've been told. Chewy dust in the side. You remind me of fridge packaging. Yeah. And food and drink, there's a noggin. What are you full of Chinese takeout? A noggin is half a...

Please stop me, maintain I'm on the verge of... A noggin is half a pint. That was dark. A noggin is half a pint. A gill is a quarter pint. I'll have a noggin of Guinness. So if you say I want a buttload of whiskey, that used to actually be a measurement.

It was a large cask. It's 477 litres. Hi there, I'm just here to order a buttload of whisky. Yeah, and it's 477 meters. How much do you want? So today's fact of the day is there is just so many unique, quirky little measurement units, but my favourite would be at 1.7 metres, the smoot. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Now, we want to ask you right now, what was your failed dream? Maybe you just went, I'm gonna bloody runner, I'm gonna do an Iron Man. You got to the start line and thought, shit, I can't do this.

Maybe, maybe. No, you wouldn't get to, if you got to the start line, you'd do it. Maybe it's something. You always dreamed of, like a career. You wanted to be a flight attendant, and then you were scared of flying. Carwin,

these are so bad. We learned, we learned this week that producer Carwin nearly didn't end up being our producer carwin she wanted to be a nail influencer a little nail artist i it's i i um because no because you do your own nails often well you used to do them a lot more yeah well yeah well yeah nails and whatnot is this picture that you sent us is this marge simpson no that's sponge bob and patrick that's a blue background it's not much is here you can please carwin can please put this on our socials dude i can see i can you see how you

When I was like in high school, I loved nail art. I loved doing my nails. I didn't use gels back then. No, OPI. Yeah, and my mum let me do them in the weekends. I wasn't supposed to wear them to school. Sometimes she would forget and let me. But I really wanted this to become my career.

was obsessed with Leia Light. Did she still do stuff? Lear Light was like a massive deal. Well, my nail girl used to work for Lear Light. She was like a massive deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was like my idol. You could have been, like, you could have opened your own shops and gone up against her.

I could have. But it was, yeah, it's a failed dream, isn't it? It's a failed dream because I wasn't that good, eh? You could have a much shift from the long. These, I mean, with such love and respect, you're a phenomenal radio producer. These are terrible. Thank you. There was another photo I was going to send of like

little tuxedo nails but those were really so bad. Hey but at least you are realising there was some, you know, self-realisation that you weren't that good. No. And you cut your losses. But I 800 d'A-in, this is a question we want to ask now

and take your text, 9-696, do you have a failed dream? Whether it was a hobby, a career, a business. Yeah, yeah. And then you were all in. You're like, I'm going to start a craft shop on Etsy. And maybe you were just too lazy. And in the background, we'll play Suzanne Boyle's version of I Dream to Dream.

To be believed. Yeah, sometimes. Use a microphone that works. Go to the other. Go to the other one. Go to the other one. All three of them on, sweetie. Which one do you want me on?

Make up your mind, George. Okay, what do you want for me? What do you want for me? Do you have a failed dream? Is it was radio the only thing you ever wanted to do? It was the second only thing I ever wanted to do. Or what was the first? A children's show presenter.

Oh, you'd be great. Why is that so funny? No, no. You'd be great. You'd be like, you'd have a durry in one hand. They're like, get a kid, kids. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to swear or anything. No.

real careful in public. You don't smoke siggies, but you'd have to watch your language. I couldn't have a night out with too many lemonade. I can imagine you doing a what now, though, back in the day? That was literally my dream. And then, if it wasn't there, I was keen for, what was the other one? Sticky TV? Sticky TV.

Just like the rest of us, eh, too ugly for TV, so to go to radio. What? I was not actually the reason. It's not actually the reason any of us are here. Oh, okay, sorry. I just got sick of the modelling industry. I was tired of it. It actually is hard work that worlding industry, eh? I wanted to be charged on my personality, not my outstanding good looks. That's right.

Oh, Fletcher, were you told opposite? Yeah, it was. Oh, sweetie. Now, Emily joins us. Emily, what was your failed dream? So I went as far to study to be a beauty therapist. Oh. So I literally had everything.

I had the massage bed. My mom bought me, like, for a Christmas gift. Like, waxing stuff, like the waxing stuff. Like a $400 nail table. I had all the gel. polishes, like everything. Me and my ex-owned at house at the time, a whole room was set aside for this.

Wow. Tax right off too, tax paper. And then nothing happened, you just couldn't be bothered. And then COVID happened, and then I studied two other things. Yeah. And now I'm a preschool teacher with a candle and skincare business. Oh, wow. Okay, well, you're still entrepreneurial. That's awesome. You're doing a bit of everything. That's amazing. Yeah, I don't think that's bad. You're all right. You sort of pulled it together. I'm quite happy.

What did you do with all your children? Yeah, what have you done with the beauty room? Oh, well, we split. So that room, I don't know what that room is now, but I sold all the other stuff. Made it a bang of a buck off that because I didn't pay for any of it. Oh, brilliant. So maybe a grand off the tape. That idiot.

Brilliant. Love that. Emily. Thank you. Andrea. What was your failed dream? So I had this passion to be a police officer, I'm also a crime detective.

Me and my younger sister both did, but she wanted to get into the sciencey side of things. Okay. She worked in the laboratory, so she partway got there. Okay. And, yeah, I used to get crime books out, read into them. My mum, I was eight. I remember I got a book out Jack the Ripper.

Mum took it back to the library, said you can't read that. And I said, I just want to learn, you know. Yeah, I'm going to be a detective one day, Mom. Oh, I did. I was very passionate, I was very dedicated to doing it and then I would have been about 16, 15, 16 and someone said to me, I worn glasses my whole life since I was 2, someone said to me, you can't be a police officer

if you've got bad eyesight. No, you can't. Well, you can now. I found it you can, but you just... A friend of mine just got denied for being colourblind. Because... I mean, that's different. I mean, that's like, woo, woo, woo, it's like red or green.

No, and so if they say the suspect is wearing a red jumper. yeah this idiot will be running after bloody yeah oh yeah in a green jumper yeah we told you it was red right okay wow right you can do it you can do it if you've got um not perfect eyesight obviously you just have to do some tests and pass sort of a level i would have passed i found out um but i just was crushed i literally cried about it was six now i remember crying about it all day it's not too late but i'm a qualified teacher now and i've got four children so i still do wish i could have been down that path like it is something I yeah I really wish I could have done and I

Anyway, married a hot Scotsman so still ended up with a bit of a bit of Scottish in me. Oh, she had a Highland Fling? No to me. Yeah.

I failed and gave him back. Do you? Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah, Millie Bobby Brown just adopted it. I thought it was going to be a famous singer and appear on top of the pops, a UK chart show. My showpiece was that I was going to wear a tart and sari because my parents, my dad is Scottish, my mum's Indian.

I thought it'd be really cool to celebrate the two cultures. It hasn't happened yet, but I really like the name tart and sari. So I ended up using it from a tart and sari. food business instead. Tart and sari. It's nice. Oh my God, like a Hayland curry. No, like a, yeah, haggis and butter chicken.
