Fletch Fawn and Haley Mine is Haley today Also my t-shirt smells of gunpowder What? And I haven't been around Have you got some kind of musky aroma on? I wonder if this is the shirt I wore when we went Possom Hunting

Yuck! Yuck! That needs to be washed. No, it has been washed. But it's just got this weird... Maybe you need a soak. Maybe it needs a soak. Maybe it's me that smells of gunpow. I don't think you should be going possum hunting in your nice work clothes.

I don't have nice work clothes. Somebody said to me the other day and they were like, what do you do with your work clothes? I was like, what do you mean? And I was like, I just wear the same thing all the time. Yeah. Yeah, well, it's easier, isn't it? It rules, dude. So no Haley today, but on the show, after the news at 8 o'clock, we're joined by two

big Hollywood names, Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. The second season, you'd love the first season. I really liked it. I really liked Platonic. It's a story of people who reconnected. They were like best friends throughout high school and like their teenage years and early 20s. And then she went off and started a family and a professional career and he became a master craft beer brewer. Yeah. And they reconnect.

And it's just about how, just what great friends are. Yeah. Like elder millennials and Gen X's is really relaxed. late to the show. Out of Millennials, such as you and I will love it. So Platonic Season 2 premieres today on Apple TV and they join our Seth Rogan Roseburn after the news at 8 o'clock. We'll give

you another chance as well at 8 to go in the drawer for ZEM's World Tour, the Makona Passport Edition, if you want to win that trip to Europe, it's when you've got to be listening. The top six as well is coming up. And the government looking at charging overseas tourists. Yes. For different attractions. Because they're like, well, we

already charge for the Great Walk, so we can charge for other things on conservation land, like seeing the new coal mines they want to put on it. I think they want to charge for like doing the Tonga Rera crossing and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, like 40 bucks or whatever. Might put off the slow people. Might make the lines on those trails a bit shorter.

Just a little bit shorter. But I've got the top six things they want to charge for coming up in the top six. Next on the show though, New Zealand has missed the list. Play ZM's Flashbourne and Haley. I'm just, just, I mean, I wasn't happy, but now I'm livid. because a company is out of a possible 112 points

which isn't even make it out of 100 come on grow up so has worked out the funniest countries

to travel to to have fun in and we're not even in the top 20 do you mean that they're funny people or that they're funny

to visit no the funniest as in like the funniest countries oh because it made it sound you made it sound

like you go there and you have a funny time and you laugh at them. No. No. The culture in the countries. Okay. 6,000 people across 30 countries to complete the humor style's questionnaire, which isn't even a funny name. Yeah. Do you think it was like, rate this knock knock joke? It feels like it. Or like rate these Christmas cracker jokes. A psychological tool developed in 2003 to assess how people express humor. Okay. And we're not even in the top 20. That's it. That is Australia. Were we surveyed? I don't know. I feel like we weren't even.

If they only asked 30 countries, we may not have been asked. Australia's not on there either. Oh, my God, they're too high. I wasn't looking high enough. Seventh. Really? Okay, here we go. 20, Norway.

Not funny. Not a funny country. Not a funny. They're very... Nothing funny about... They're cold. They're always cold and serious. Yeah.

Yeah. And they eat like pickled fish. Yeah. That's not funny. And they always produce those really dark crime dramas on Netflix. Scanny noir. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 19.

South Africa. Not funny. Now Sam Mandela's known for his crack-up jokes 18th, the UK I would have had them higher I would have had them higher They've made some of the best comedies ever made 17th, Canada

Nice I would have expected them to be a little bit higher Although there are some great Leonard Kenny There are some great stand-up comics from Canada Yeah and some very funny actors John Candy Ryan Reynolds

You know lots of funny people from Canada 16th Estonia Estonia Isst they where I held Swastonnickers from 14 No, he's Austrian

Okay. Okay. Cute, but... 11th, Switzerland. Again, I wouldn't have thought... Nothing funny about hiding in the mountains and not putting aside, you know? 10th, Hungary. Wouldn't have even known.

Hungary for its comedy. Ninth is Denmark, another Scandinavian country in there. Maybe slightly funny than the Norwegians, but I don't know about ninth. Eighth, Poland. I mean, that's a country that's been through the ringer in the last hundred, so, yes. Seventh, Australia. Weird that seven is, the Brits

are known for the humour. Yeah, and Australia is funnier. I mean, Australia is funny. There's some funny Australians. A lot of time for Australian. And I guess Australians like us, we do, you know, we poke fun at ourselves. We, you know, we love a joke.

Very dry. Sixth, Greece. Okay. Probably based just purely on 90s prank calling legend Guido Hatsis. Maybe. Get on up. Um, fifth, Chile.

You've been? The fifth funniest country. I have, yeah. Chuckles? Lovely people. I don't remember chuckling. Chuckles. I don't remember chuckling.

Fourth Belgium. Okay. Biscuits, yes. And shepherds, correct. A third Ireland. Now I can get on board with the Irish. A hysterically funny people. Yeah, very funny.

They have to be. They had a terrible history. Second Portugal. Okay. And number one. The funniest country. This is the funniest country. This is the funny. Yeah, what I would have known as the Czech Republic.

The top half of Czechoslovakia. And they cut it off and maybe all the funny people from both went to that and all the dull people went to Slovakia, I don't know. Interesting. And USA did that even make the list? Because Canada did, but USA's didn't even make the list either. No, the US isn't on there. They probably just didn't get it.

Interesting. They probably didn't get the jokes. No. Well, like you say, there's different ways they measured that. So the Czech Republic ranked number one. they excelled in self-deprecation and aggressive humour, known for dry, deadpan delivery and ironic sarcastic jabs. This sounds like us.

Yeah. Humour is seen as a psychological survival tool in a national trait for a country that's been through it. Well, yes, you've got to. Yeah. Because if you're not laughing, you're crying, aren't you? Yeah. I just can't believe what I'm gutted.

We didn't, yeah. Wow. What a kick in the gut. Play ZDM's, sledge Vaughan and Haley. Well, this story is everywhere, because I think people are Like, I thought it was, and I still believe it, there's a possibility, it's a prank or satire. I wondered as well, but it is on every major news site. And these kind of stories don't feel to energy.

It does. These kind of stories, you know, don't end up on the BBC being fake. You know, the BBC run their background checks. I just think they're probably running less journalists than ever. Well, a zoo in Denmark has gone viral, has gone worldwide because they have appealed to the public to donate any healthy unwanted pets. I'll remind you, Denmark was their ninth funniest country in the world, according to that survey.

So you're saying this could be an incredible satire. But it also could be them dropping down to below 20th because it's crazy. It is crazy. So they want any unwanted healthy pets because they want to feed them to their predators at the zoo. The lions, the tigers, he's links. They're asking for donations of live chickens,

rabbits and guinea pigs. and horses and if you do this you get a tax break do you know this used to be admission to the London Zoo I'm sure it's fact of the day once

you used to be able to pay for admission for your family to the London Zoo if you bought in a cat or a dog no cats or dogs because that's what I was thinking that's wild when you were reading that list

I was waiting for the cats or dogs no no so no cats or dogs it's weird how we're okay with all the other animals being live fed but for some reason cats and dogs have worked their way into our heart so this is what I thought

I thought that they were just drop them in the enclosure and then it would be like, you know, the wild. But it's not the zoo staff will actually euthanise whatever you bring in and then feed it to them. Regarding surely what you inject, how are they euthanizing? Yeah, but then the zoo says at the same time that the food is provided in a way that's reminiscent of what it would naturally hunt in the wild. So do they like tie a string on a chicken and jiggle it around? Guinea pigs are always being hunted by tigers in the world. Famously, everywhere tigers are, of course, there's a natural selection of guinea pigs.

I feel like a guinea pig just on the ground would be like a human seeing a cashew nut on the ground. Yeah, you'd be like, well, I am hungry, but it's only one cashew nut. Yeah. You know, apparently, yeah, you've got to, these animals have to be healthy. And if you're going to donate a horse for the tax break, the horse tax break. How much of a tax break is a horse? Well, it doesn't say what the tax break is, but you've got to, the horse can't have been to the vet or been sick a month before.

Wait, so they only want healthy horses. Yeah, and they don't want unhealthy chickens or guinea pigs. They want healthy animals. Um, and then... Why would you, is it because... How bad is it in Denmark? That people are like, I can't afford to feed this horse. I thought I could afford to feed the only option instead of rehoming it

is to take it to the zoo for a tax break. Or like, surely they have like wild animal problems. that would help their situation. Yeah. Yeah. Why all day? I don't know. But yeah, I mean, it looks like it's a legit news story.

And like you said, the London Zoo used to do this. But a couple hundred years ago when people had less, like, outraged sort of thing. And it was just like survival. Well, maybe they'd be more. It's such a wild story. I mean, yeah, it is. And there's been no, because I saw it yesterday, there's been no follow-ups. No, like.

No, I have a quick. I had a quick look, it's like, it's legit, yeah. Goodness gracious, man. Yeah. Well, you didn't go into the zoo and you just see them feeding, like a chicken or someone's guinea pig. There's just not a lot of food, not a meat on a chicken. Like a laying chicken. Like a lynx might be all right with it, but it would barely touch the sides and a tiger.

That's where your horse is coming to play. That's where the horses come in, yeah. Well, if you're ever... Do they do horse racing in Denmark? Because those things drop like flies. You know... Yeah, I mean, no, but then that's not how, oh no, it's still healthy. Yeah.

They get it to them quickly. Yeah. Well, if you're ever in Denmark, pop along to the zoo. Play ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, I was right, Vaughn. It is. It's Gen Z travel trend.

54% of Gen Z travelers said that when picking a destination for a holiday, they prefer one place that has it all so they can absorb the vibe, quote, end quote. 42% of people say they choose hotels based on on-site events, nightlife or wellness options. It sounds like they just want to go on a cruise. Yeah, well, maybe. But this does talk more about...

What they've just described as a cruise. Like places like, you know, when you go to Fiji and it's just you're on one resort. Resort, yeah, resort living. Or like in the, like a lot of them through the Caribbean or Europe, it's just like a resort. It's got an all-you-can-eat option. Yeah.

And you, there's pools, maybe a beach, and you just stay there. I can never leave. I can see the appeal of it on the fact that it can be a cost-effective way to do it because once, you know, accommodation is always expensive, but if your accommodation can include food, drink, and then, like, wellness options, like, spas at hotels are never cheap. No, no, no, no, never.

Like, if you want to cheat massage and you're in another country, you go, like, into town, right? You go on some dodgy place behind a garage door. You roll the dots. You're like, ooh, that's a roller door. What's behind there? You walk back past and it's opening up. It's a massage place.

And you're just like, you can't see. Who knows how this ends? And it says $5. Let's go to our resident, Gen Z girlies. Good morning. Hello. Good morning, Gen Z slash millennial, I should say. I'm not a millennial.

I thought you were like an early millennial. I'm a year older than Shannon. I know that the grey hairs and the wrinkle that you give me. She just looks, she's got a millennial vibe about it, right? I think it's because we're really ying and yang as friends. Like, Carwin is my reason, you know? Oh, that's a bit sweet. Oh, that's nice.

Like she's the level-headed millennial. Like she knows what she's doing. She understands like loans and stuff. Okay. Next time you say it, say she's my sense of reasoning. Because what you said was, she's my reason. And it made it sound like you were about to tell us that you're entering a new relationship. Oh, I mean I would love to, but she's wifed up.

But anyway. Why? Don't let that stop you. The heart wants what the heart wants. Well, you know what they say, don't let a boyfriend get in the way of finding a husband. Wow. That's good. I like that.

Now, so when it comes to holidays, Do you prefer one place where you stay and you never leave or you never leave the hotel? 100%. Really? Yeah, I'm really bad with directions and like Google. I'm not the booker. Like I can't find stuff or book tickets or learn things.

I would rather just sit there and know foods that way and pools that way. But what if it's like an amazing country? You fly into this airport, you get the transfer to the hotel and then you never leave. Yeah. The whole time. No, boo. I feel like if you're on, like, an island, this is fine. Because there's not a whole lot to do on an island.

You can, like, spend one day out and about and the rest of the hotel. But if you're in, like, Japan, I'm not just sitting at the hotel the whole time. No, yeah, so much to see. But there is, like, yeah, I love, if you go to Fiji and you go out to the islands and you're stuck on this island. But there's a pool and there's something to drink and there's, yeah. I think Vaughn's right. I just love the cruise life.

Like, I just love, like, sitting there and everything's there for me, and I don't have to think, and I can't be lost. You've got big cruise ship energy. Thank you. You've got big cruise ship energy. I hope a good one. Like, I hope not like a dodgy one where everyone gets six. A budget one.

It's a budget one where everyone gets the neurovirus. Oh, no. Yeah. But like free peanut colitis. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletch Born and Haley. From the Fletchborn and Haley group chat, this is the top six.

Hello there. We're going to start by charging for tourists. attractions, more tourist attractions are going to have a, I don't know, a paywave machine and then you scan it and then a thing goes up and you get to look at it and you're like, cool, and then your time runs out and it shuts again. Right. Yeah. We'll have big curtains, I imagine.

Yeah. Over the Milford Sound. Yeah. Well, Matt, we're going to have to spend so much money getting the curtains in store. But we are going to, um, go ahead and go ahead and do it. Because I saw, because a while ago they started, you had to write your intentions or you had to fill out the dock form to do the Tongareira Crossing. Yeah.

And that was kind of seen as like a testing or getting ready for charging people. Right. But obviously not New Zealanders. I hope bloody not. No, you imagine that. Cathedral Cove, Tongorado Crossing, Milford Sound and Al-Raki Mount Cook.

Would be some of the ones. How are they going to charge people to like to go on like the loopwalks at Mount Cook? Because you can just drive up the road and see it. Yeah, where are you from, mate? And you'll have all these people doing their best New Zealand accents? Yeah. I'm just a lakel.

I guess it'll be to do the swing bridges and walk up. Yeah, I guess they're a little. Yeah, okay. A little charge box. But I've got the top six things we can charge for, top six tourist attractions we can charge for. Yeah, let's make some money. I reckon we make some money.

Oh, no, I can't find it. Yes, I found it again. Now, here's my question about mail. Yep. The app on the laptop. Yeah. I leave the mail I'm composing on top, switch to another app, in this case, Google Chrome,

and then back to mail, and it puts the main box at the front and hides the mail I was composing. That's a floor. I mean, it does sound like a floor. That sounds like a floor. It sounds like you can maybe do this in a Word document or in... So, just sidebar if I may.

You may. I don't have Microsoft Word on this work computer. I tried to open and it's like you don't have... You haven't paid. Yeah, it's in the email. It's in your Microsoft Outlook on. Is there a word in there? Yeah, it's all on the cloud now.

I really should do more word. Yeah, you read. I would know this if I did more work. Also, Apple has a word document thing. It sucks. Yeah, it does suck. It sucks. Word pad or what's that?

It's the shittest. No, it's not not pad. It's something else. Notes. No, it's not notes. Keynote. No? These are junk.

I hate notes. On the laptop, on the phone, notes is fine. Phone notes, great. You really don't. Nothing, it just doesn't work. You really don't do enough work, do you? I don't do enough work. Yeah.

You can't drop trow and do a dump in front of the Mona Lisa or at the Louvre. It's still going to be free for us to do that, though, isn't it? Great.

You bet. Fantastic. You bet it is. Number two on the list of the top six charges to the New Zealand tourist attractions are the big donut in Springfield. I love that. Yeah, it's cool. It's so cool.

It was put there as part of promotion for the Simpsons movie back in the day. What was that? I never knew that. Because it's in Springfield. Yeah. What year did that movie come out? 2007? Right.

It's a sturdy donut. It's a very stupid. Like I would have thought if it was promotion for a movie, it would have been temporary. No, I think they went all out. But it's like concrete, right? Yeah, they went all out. Or fiberglass? It's amazing.

There must have been a bit of local council injection of funds there to get that. Yeah, everyone stops for it to stop there. $15 for a photo with it. Okay. If you want to sit in it, 20. If you want to like get the force perspective that it makes it look like you're the same size and you're taking a bite of the donut. Extra.

$55. Why didn't I think of doing that photo when we went there? The force perspective. I just sat on it. It's hard. It's hard to do it right. It's like pinch. It's New Zealand's version of pinching the Eiffel Tower or leaning against the leaning tower.

Repesia is the fourth perspective bite of the Springfield Donut. Love that. And number one on the list of the top six charges for New Zealand tourist attractions. It's the big cow in Moralesville, my hometown. I don't know if anyone's so big for that, are they? There's always somebody stopped there. Are they? There's always somebody stopped there.

Weird. It's going to be expensive. It's $20 for a photo with it because we're going to put up this massive curtain around it. Yeah. Until... To stop people just taking photos willy-nilly. Getting a free one. You've seen how big this cow is...

Big. God, the curtain is going to be so, so massive. Love that. Today's top six. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, the producer girl is excited because there's true crime. A new show.

Yes, we love the Monsters series on Netflix. It's Ryan Murphy and he does the best. There was the Menendez brothers that went super viral last year and also Jeffrey Dahmer. And there's a new one we're just saying coming out soon about Ed Gein, the other serial killer. Ed Gein? Yes. You guys know so much about serial killer. I'm a white woman.

Yeah, they're white women. They love true crime. Ed, how do I spell? Ed? Oh, yeah. Guy. Guy. Guy's searching for a show to watch yesterday.

What's the new? There's also something about a yofro shop or yogurt murders or something. Whoa. Have you heard about this one? No. I don't know anything about it. I think four women were killed and there's something about a yogurt shop. And I imagine they were all working there when somebody put too many lollies on.

In 1991, four teenage girls were murdered. at a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Decades later, the unthinkable crime continues to mystify the police and haunt the families. Apparently, that's a good one. Everyone's talking about that. There's my afternoon. It's at HBO, yeah.

The yogurt shop murders is confident. The detective is confident. He'll solve this case 34 years on. How could it be a... I know. I'm crazy. That sounds good, hey. That one sounds good.

Well, the thing we've been talking about all morning out here is that they've announced that there will be a new Monsters series about Lizzie Borden and Elizabeth Olsen is going to be playing her. which is just excellent casting. So what happened with this true crime? It was back.

It was just before 1900 and basically... Oh, so it's going back back? We're going back back. Oh, okay, because these shows have always been like... Kind of 80s vibes. Yeah. Yeah, so basically she was accused of killing her father and her stepmother, really gruesome murder, like not radio vibes. Yeah, yeah, it was an axe.

Yeah, like real bad. And basically it's the whole, did she do it? Did she not? Was she crazy? or she even there, blah, blah, blah, monsters vibes. Okay. This isn't the first, oh, okay, this is why they're doing it again. 40% on Rotten Tomato for the 2014.

Lizzie Borden took an axe with Christina Ricci playing Lizzie Borden. Oh, okay. Which also great casting, actually, when you think about it. Yeah. It's the big eyes. Yeah. Because she had big eyes. The big murderous eyes.

Okay, so in production, but not. What are you got? Yes, the better to look at you, will I murder you with an axe. Yeah, production's just about to start, and then it'll be coming out in 2026. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Sledgeporn and Haley Silly Little Poe

It is so silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little poll Silly little poll Silly little pollas Do you lie to people about your financial situation?

Apparently a massive amount of Americans are Yeah, so this was a, like, crazy study. So two-thirds of Americans with debt lie about it or hide their financial struggles from their families and friends. The average American will always understate the amount of debt they have when they're talking about debt if they do. Shame drives the secrecy, nearly 30% signing embarrassment as their main reason for hiding debt.

And financial deception damages relationships for 73% of people with debt, often causing arguments and isolation. Wow. I mean, it's keeping up with the Joneses, isn't it? That's the problem, right? Because the shame and the embarrassment that the debt causes, obviously wasn't enough.

The potential of that to stop you buying something you didn't need in the first place. And then you start ticking things up to have the nicest debloy thing. It always turns to me, like, it always surprises me when you see those stories of, like, you said in the news all the time, someone just ticks up alone and the other one's names on it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they didn't know about it until the person, and leaves.

Yeah. And then they're left with it. They're left with the debt. It's crazy, yeah. That's crazy. So do you lie to people about your financial situation? We asked you. 35% of people said yes.

So not far off because it was 40% in that study, right? Yes. 65% said no. But people are lying about their financial situations. Okay. Somebody said, isn't this the error of the personal recession? Kristen. Kristen.

Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yeah. Yeah. You can't print your. You can't print money and print your way out of a personal recession. No. It's nose down.

It's nose down in these hard times. Completely agree. It's the era of the personal recession. Grayson said, I tell people I'm broke, but I don't tell them how really how broke I am. Yeah, right. So that's... Broke, broke, broke. Broke, broke.

Lana said, I will tell a white lie, absolutely. Always make it sound a little better than it is. Yeah, I mean, no one goes, oh my God. No, I'm really struggling. You know, I've got like four things that are overdue. Yeah. No, one says that, did they? No.

But also do you think, like, anybody's toning down their financial situation? Like, they're doing a right. Their savings are pumped up. Maybe. Because then people who, the majority of people, don't have that. Yeah, then you'll be isolating yourself from them. The New Zealander in us wants to bring you down. Yeah.

People absolutely, Anna said people absolutely treat me differently when they find it find out I'm a trust fund baby, so I never tell anyone. There you go. That's someone lying about their situation being a lot more comfortable than, you know, everybody else. I'm a chronic oversharer, says Gabby, so I never lie because I just have to tell people everything. I overshare all my information. Nube says, I am actively open and honest about all the debt I'm in and how it's taking me five years to pay it off. I have four more payments left and I'm debt free.

It's a running joke in my workplace that often I have less than five pay. pounds in my account two days before payday. Yeah. Live in paycheck to paycheck, but good on you for paying off that day. Oh my God, you're so close and then you're going to have all that money to spend and go into more debt. I reckon stay in the habits you've been in and then only buy what you can afford to buy and not take it up. It's that feeling when you pay off your student loan. If you manage to do that, it's just a great feeling.

Nicole said, I'm an oversharer, so I don't care who I tell that I'm a broke bitch and make poor choices with my pennies. But, hey, it could be worse. I figure I have no debt, so living week to week, paycheck to paycheck can't be that bad. I feel if we were all more open and honest, we'd all realize how screwed we all are. Yeah. And then, you know, we might all be a bit better. We could work together. And we wouldn't try to keep up with each other.

Anonymous plays. I'm really fortunate financially this year, even being able to pay an extra large six-figure sum off my mortgage this year. Wow. I feel guilty that so many people are struggling while I'm getting ahead, so I all just keep it to myself. Yeah, so that, again, it goes both ways. Yeah. Yeah. How do you get six figures just to pay off that much off your mortgage at once?

Yeah. It saves a chunk. Lotto, do you think she won, he or she won Lotto? Perhaps. You know, like a little mini jackpot? Yeah, maybe. Just a 100K or something? Adam said definitely make my wife's family think we're poorer than we are so they don't try scabbing off us because they are scabbers.

Yes. Yeah. Us, yeah. Sonia said, I do lie about my financial situation. I've got a trust fund and I am a wife. where are people living week to week, and so I just keep it to myself because I don't want to come across showboaty.

And Jureme, we've talked about Jareem before. Beautiful name. It's like Jeremy, but it's got an E on the end, so I'm not saying Jeremy. Posh Jeremy. I'm saying Jeremy. For the lulls, I love telling people about how much diddemon. Yeah.

So. Wow, it goes both ways here. It does go both ways. Yeah, we asked you, we asked you, do you lie to people about your financial situation? And 35% of you said yes. Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley. I didn't even know I was doing something.

Well, I kind of did because my daughter's asked and then when we were trying them, we were filming it. But I tried the viral, what people are just saying, TikTok ice cream. Propituous brand ice cream, which is shaped like and tastes like fruits in a thin white chocolate shell.

Yum. So the idea is when you try in them, you go and you get the A-S-M-R-R- I don't bite ice blocks or ice cream. You have to bite through the white chocolate, though. No, look it. That's so embarrassing. That's going to be creepy.

When you do your TikTok of you trying the viral ice cream and you're like so. Just to petersrate the white chocolate. You've just been licking off the condensation. Oh, okay. I mean, I could bite it, but I don't like it. I don't like my teeth going into ice cream or ice blocks for some reason. I can understand that. It's a sensitive.

Yeah. Yeah, it's cold. I get it. I don't bite ice blocks. That's insane, but I will buy in an ice cream. Wait, where do you get these from? Explain the, I feel like Vaughan did not explain the... The ice creams are shaped like the fruit that they represent.

And they're coloured and everything. Right. My problem was the excessive packaging. These are gone viral and basically they weren't to New Zealand for ages. And it's just one of those things, kind of luboo vibes where it was just like people sorting them out, sussing them out and like trying to find them. They're finally here. I'm yet to try them. I haven't heard good things.

Yeah. The lemon one tasted like I ate. lemon pledge. Remember that stuff? Mom used to spray on the wood in China cabinet to get a wood polish on that lemon pledge. That tasted like lemon pledge. Okay. Kind of yum though? Like in a, like, the lemon one wasn't yum. The mango one was yum. Do they have fruit in them? I don't think so. No, I don't think. I think they have fruit. I think it's fruit by name. And that's it. Yeah. Okay. So where are they from? China. Propitious mango ice creams is a specialty mango flavored ice cream from China that became viral on

TikTok known for its rich creamy texture and aesthetic appearance. It is very, it's all about the presentation, a very aesthetic to eat an ice cream that looks like the fruit. Yeah, it was super popular on TikTok. People would go to like Japan and stuff and you can buy a $20 strawberry and basically it was one strawberry in this plastic

container, similar shape. And everyone was trying the $20 strawberry being like, this is the greatest strawberry ever. So these ice creams kind of fell into that perfect aesthetic fruit vibe. And they come like they're on a stick but they also have this little thing that protects your hand from getting drips on it.

That seems excessive. It's like a little guard. You're not eating your ice cream fast enough if it's dripping on your hand. You're not even eating it. You're looking it. You're looking. Yeah, because you're saying I have melt. I'll need this melt protection guard. Yeah, so it's a mount protection guard and the plastic like a bell jar over top to protect it.

How big of these things? Okay, no one can see you. Oh no, I'm just trying to work out. I was trying to work out. Vaughn's just realized. that radio is not visual. A small fist. No, it's smaller than my fist.

Okay. Well, that's not too bad. How much do they cost? How much did yours cost? So they were, I think, the dairy we got them from. This dairy, by the way, this dairy has all the... It had that Logan Paul energy drink before everybody else had it and realized it was trash. It had Mr. Beast's crazy chocolate.

That chocolate is so shit or whatever. And then it had this. I don't know how this dairy knows. Is it a lot of Asian supermarkets that had these? Yeah. Right. kind of hit the mainstream supermarkets now. You know what?

It doesn't sound like a Memphis meltdown, big gooey, does it? Do you know what I will say, though? You know my dairy that we get mince from? Again, please stop buying meat from the dairy. Side note, I went to this dairy the day. It's mild. I cooked her a gourmet lunch as well. Oh, I didn't put...

It was expired mac and cheese. Expired mac and cheese. Okay, don't buy mince or expired. I don't think it expires. Yeah, that's the thing. She said it's expired, and I said it. Ah, it'll be fine. It was two months expired.

Wait, was it packet dried out? Yeah, that'd be fine. It was American. I thought someone had made the mac and cheese in a container and it had been there for two days. Powdered mac and cheese. They actually found powdered mac and cheese in the pyramids and it was still good. Perfect. Did they know how they built them yet?

No. No. They just dragged the stones up and put them where they needed them to go. Yeah. Aliens, I think it was what you want me to say, right? Aliens? Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Play Z-Mitchforn and Haley. Out tomorrow in cinemas across the country, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, Freakier Friday. Yeah. Freaky Friday. The original Freaky Friday, 2000. It's how about three. Really?

Yes. That's how long ago it was. And Prodester Girlies, you went to Freakia Friday yesterday. Oh my gosh, yes. A special screening? Yeah. Like, you know, when you get these screening emails in your inbox, you're like, oh yeah, that'll be fun.

This one, we message each other immediately like, oh, rest of it. PP right now. We had to be there. It's like, I've been dreaming about this coming out since it was announced and it beat expectation, honestly. A hundred percent. It was the

free quill and it lived up to that name. She's been wanting to say that again. I'm so excited to say that. It's got, okay, so it's got 82% on Rotten Tomato so far. Is it the nostalgia buy-in? Honestly, you would think yes, but actually it's just like really good scripting

and a really good storyline. It is the exact same storyline. Can I have a guess? Can I have a guess? What's the original premise? The real story was the mother and the daughter don't understand. It's that classic switch body switch situation. The mother and the daughter don't understand each other. They're clashing and then something happens and they switch bodies

and they experience life from each other's point of view and it gives them an understanding. The original one was like the seven years. Because I was going to say that was a remake itself. This is the third remake version of it. Yeah. It's like a classic sort of movie trope. It's a book I think. Is there, this is my guess. I don't know anything about Freaky Friday, does Lindsay Lohan

have a daughter now and she gets involved in the switch too? She sure does her. I know, you know, I know, and so things the grandmother. Does Lindsay become her daughter and her daughter becomes the grandma and the grandma because... So there's actually four. So there's a

stepdaughter involved as well. Oh, great. So then the stepdaughter becomes the grandmother and the daughter becomes Lindsay. Does that make sense? You have some fast aging, isn't it? They swap, swap. Yes, yeah. The body swap.

It's just like actually so funny because you would think that you're going into this and you're like you're going for the nostalgia, you're going just for the fun. And like it is a fun girly pop, have a little glass of rosé or Coke, whatever. But also it was just like genuinely hilarious. Like I took my partner

and he loves a girly pop film but like not as much as Shannon and I so he was way less biased. And he was like giggling along. He was having a fun time. I think as well lots of films at the moment when they do the Gen Z thing. they're like, let me pull up my TikTok

and they like try, have an older person write the script. It felt very self-aware of like, we know what's cringe, we know what we're going to do. It was a wink nod, like people being triggered by their morning alarm and stuff like that. It's very well written. Okay. Definitely go see it.

Yeah. Right. Didn't you say though, because you said that some of the other people that went to the movie were bagging it because they were in the bathroom and they overheard them talking about it? Also, like, we just... The other influences. right yeah yeah yeah oh my god

did you just put us in those same categories influence and that's crazy yeah um yeah look I think some people you're freak fluences thank you no don't say that don't say that yeah I just kind of knew they'd like it in unison thank you is

yeah as much as validation a man could ever design look I think that there will always be people that think that they're going to like a you know a David Attenborough cinematographer Gus Van Sant film it's not no one is going to Freaky on Friday I was expecting Gus Van Sant's

Well, trust me, these influences were, and they were disappointed. It was cringe. It wasn't cringe. Free movie on a Tuesday, I was Lindsay Lohan, and they're like, well, I'm happy, get measures up to Gus Vincent's previous movies. Life's all about managing expectations. Okay, but yeah, good. So 82% on Ronat Tomatoes and double thumbs up from you as well.

Definitely the best trick flicker I've seen in a while. Yeah. High praise. I very high praise. Play ZM's Flashwoman and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley What accidentally flew into your mouth

Does it have to have been self-propelled into the mouth? Like it could have been a bug or a bird? A bird. I know you said we're going to be grown up about this, but what ended up in your mouth sounds like it might draw more than what flew into your mouth. Exactly. Right.

Yeah, but then I don't know, yeah. Yeah. Because it doesn't need to be flying itself. Yes, it could have flown in. It could be flung in. What flew or flung in? What got flung? What got flung?

No, what flung into your mouth? What flew or flung in? What about flu or flung in? Flew or flung? And then we'll just pick the sensible ones. Flu or flung was my hip-hop duo that entered the Rock Quest. It was, yeah. Didn't make the regional finals even.

Flung or flung? Yeah. Okay, what flew or flung into your mouth? Oh, 800,000 M, 9669696, because this happened in America. A woman was in a, like a national park area, a canyon. It was night time. Lovely. And she was taking photos.

I'm assuming of the lovely stars. Oh yes, no light pollution. And that is when she was taking photos. She had the camera in front of her face. A bat flew in and got caught between her face and the camera and went into her mouth. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

Yuck, exactly. Did she still get some nice photos of the starry sky? It doesn't say. The news article doesn't say. She was bit, though. buy a $21,000 medical bill because she's in America, she didn't have insurance.

What did the bat do in there? Did it tear out all her teeth or something? How can a bat fly into your mouth? And then what happens to the point where she's like, I need to now go to the hospital because I would just be like, yuck. Listerine, Listerine, Listerine. I would have just Listerine as well,

but maybe it did, especially in America. What is Listerrain? $3? Because most of this news story that I'm reading is all about just her fight. with the medical, with all the insurance bills over the incident. But yeah, whether it, or they needed to, maybe they needed to give her shots or something.

Because like you said, like the bats can start pandemics. Yeah. We share a lot of the same viruses. Yeah. So, I don't know, yeah. It's a bit freaky. Yeah. Well, what?

Rabies. It was rabies. She got rabies? No, she was, they were worried about rabies. But apart from that, I don't, yeah, she hasn't. She wasn't. Imagine, imagine, when, we're, we're, well, she wasn't. Imagine being worried about rabies cost you $21,000.

I know, well, that's America. That's insane. That's America. Because she just would have been in a bed, I guess, so it all just ticks up. She would have just been waiting to see a doctor, and it's all time to spend. And they, like, charged like, $80 for a plaster. Yeah.

And an aspirin. It's pretty crazy over there. Crazy. So on the back of this, a woman that had a bat fly into her mouth. Oh, 800 dollars it in. One floor flung. Yep. All was flanged.

Always flanged. Into your mouth. Yeah. Because, I mean, as someone, I, love using my weed eater. You've got to watch with the dog poo. Oh, ble. I've ended up with it on the face.

Or like... In the mouth. Yeah. It's great. I mean, I guess it's the position of your mouth, but like, you know when a bird poo lands on your shoulder? Yes. You're just like, that was lucky.

What if it had gone right in front of my mouth and got... Well, I bet so it has. Well, someone's already messaged in bird poop. 778 if you could just tell us how the bird poop ended up in your mouth. That's... Okay. Oh, 800,000 M is the number 9-696. What was flung or flew into your mouth?

Now, We're talking now about the times where because a woman was in a national park in America and a bat got stuck between her camera and her face and went in her mouth. Yeah. A bat went into her mouth. And that is surely the worst story we're going to hear today. Is it? Oh, 800 dollars at him.

What got caught or flew or flung into your mouth? Let's start the calls with Sarah. Good morning, Sarah. Good morning. What got flung into your mouth? Well, it was a toenail So not exactly a bat Wait, your toenail?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Someone else's tonic. What? Like, how? Well, I was a beauty therapist And I do a lot of procedures And one of those was a pedicure And I'm obviously a really

Chassy beauty therapist And I obviously had my mouth open too wide While I was cutting someone's nails And their big toenail ended up Right in my mouth Did they notice? No, I think I was pretty discreet. I just kind of, like, put my hand up to my mouth and just pulled it out.

Oh, did you start wearing a mask after that? I would have worn a mask. No, I just maybe talked a little less. Okay, yeah, mouth shut. Mouth shaked. Sarah, thank you. Haley, what got flung or flew into your mouth? Good morning, team.

So, unfortunately, I've had the pleasure of tasting cat and dog poop. Ooh, okay, that's, I'd rather have a bat, to be honest, they think. I think so, I mean, I've had my rabies shots, so I'll... Yeah. Roll the dice on that. It's not nice. Who, was it the weed eater or the lawnmower that flicked it up? Yeah, so I'm actually a lawnmower and contractor, and we do give our customers the

kutacy text the night before saying, please, can you pick it up? Unfortunately, dogs really love to back up to a fence line, and if you can't see it, it's just too late before the line trimmer has got it, and it goes everywhere. Why do you think they like to back up to a fence? Is it a safety thing? Like, they can't be snuck up on if one of their sides is covered. Oh, God, I have no idea. But I don't know.

I don't get it, but it's terrible, especially when I've got beautiful dreadlocks and it just goes everywhere. It's not getting out of those, is it? Oh, no. Okay, yeah, see, I'd start wearing a mask. I'll wear a full face mask, I think. Yeah. In your line of work.

Haley, thank you. Ashley, what flew or flung into your mouth? A moth while I was asleep. You're lucky Haley's away today because she can't even hear that word. Oh, I can't anymore either. It literally traumatised. Dusty? Was it dusty?

Yeah, yeah. So basically, like, I woke up to it, throat punching me, for lack of a better word, and that's like gagged, like, so quickly that as I gagged, my tongue caught the moth in my mouth, and it just burst and dust. Oh, yuck. How can they? fly when they're so dusty. Like, imagine if an aeroplane was dusty.

Oh, honestly. I just, like, I will not sleep now if there's not, like, if there's something in the room buzzing, I just can't sleep. I'm like, get it out of here, get it. Yeah, windows closed, lights off. Yeah, fair cool. Ashley, thank you. So many messages and texts coming in.

I'm just Googling, does the mud, dust on a moth, affect its aerodynamics? Obviously not, because they fly, right? They flap about. They flap about all the time. Yeah. Okay, the dust... Yeah.

Oh my God, the dust on a moth is made up of minute overlapping scales that cover the moths, wings and body. These scales are responsible for the moths, colors, patterns, and even some chemical signals. They come off very easily. So what looks like dust is actually their skin. Like, effectively, like, they're covering. It would be like if you were like,

oh, that human looks dusty and you touched them and their skin came off in your hand. Okay, that's gross. Keep your text coming in, 9-6-96, 6. of those next, Tate McCray. Zidem. A woman in America was at a national park, a bat flew into her mouth.

Buh, not the worst. In fact, I'd take the bat over most of these messages. Well, somebody, we've had multiple messages about people not needing to know that the dust on them off is just that skin and scales. I always just thought they were dusty like it was cornflower or something. That's, yeah. Yeah, I didn't even know it either.

And I ate breakfast early today. What a stupid move. Okay, but it gets worse. In fact, it does get a lot worse. I apologise to our eating listeners. Yeah. I express the dog's anal glands at work. Now, why did a dog that used to need a little bit of this done?

They'd be scooching. Yeah, see, you shouldn't get a dog that needs that done. It hasn't been bred right. No, it's a dietary thing and all sorts of stuff. It wouldn't happen all the time. But, of course, that is like squeezing a pimple, and when the pressure pops. You don't know which way it's going to go. Okay, yep, enough said.

A family friend was staying at our house, and while she was asleep, she woke up and had a wetter in her mouth. She woke up because she felt something in her mouth and sped it out. Imagine knowing that your mouth is, you know, like a, like, you know, because don't they sleep in like punga trees and stuff and, like, damp kind of holes? They love a damp hole. You've got a damp punga hole for a mouth. Your mouth is a pungo hole.

Your mouth is a ron. It's a rotting tree. Your mouth is a rotting tree stop in a forest. Yeah. Yuck. They brush your teeth, maybe? Maybe. I was at the gym once, by the way I'm cold reading this

I was at the gym once and I needed to use my inhaler that was stored in one of the cubby holes I grabbed the inhaler and put it in my mouth to take a puff, I got a massive fright and I was like, ugh, what's that on my tonsils? Coughing, spluttering, hacking, sped out a cockroach that had crawled into my inhaler. No.

See, that's not on your mouth being hurt. But that's on you for not putting the protective cover on. You've got to put the thing back on your inhaler. Get your inhaler back in. Jesus. There's some, there's a little more. Good, yeah. A few more tonal stories,

a few more dog post stories, again, mostly with people doing the lawns. Somebody said, I was in a mall toilet in Bali, and I heard, oh, a noise, as well as the squirt from a bidet, and so I, like, looked up, and it turned out that, you know,

those bidets have got quite a bit of pressure. Oh, the hoses. Yeah, right. They had been, obviously, testing the trigger and squirted at Skywood, and they would, whoop, so then this person looks, and the bidet water went in their mouth.

But I mean, that's fresh. They did get barley water, no. Barley, you don't drink out of the tank. So then when you go to Mali, you're always like, don't drink the ice, don't have the ice in the water. Don't drink hard. And salads are the things that will make you sick because they rinse them under the tap. Yeah. And the taps where the barley belly is.

Um, I was laughing and a fly flew into my mouth and I could feel in my throat and I choked and my choking swallowed the fly. Oh, yeah. Protein though. I would swallow a spider to catch the fly. And then I would swallow a bird to get the spider. Yes. Yes. And then, of course, you got to swallow a cat to get the bird to get the spider.

And then a dog to swallow a dog. The cat. And then, I don't know what a dog's natural predator is. It always got bigger animals. I guess a tiger. A tiger. A tiger. He'd have to eat a tiger.

A tiger. And then you basically got the Denmark zoo down there, so. Maybe a... Start charging a... Great White shark. Yeah. To get the tiger. Yeah.

All true. And then an octopus to get the Great White. Because that's what can get an octopus. Yeah. And then next door, you get that person to open their mouth and a wetter crawls out. And that's the next exhibit in the human zoo. Where the animals live inside the humans as cages. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Halo.

Well, season two is out today, Platonic. It premieres on Apple TV and the stars of Platonic. Join us, Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne. Good morning. Hi, how are you? Actually, really, really good, because I get to spend my mornings with my genuine friends. There you go. Plotonicly, obviously.

Plotonically, mostly. Not here. Must be nice. Well, I was going to ask you if I mean, because we know that you guys are mates, but after a long day of filming together, do you hang out afterwards, or you sort of had enough at that point? No, we sort of shut down. Sezy, by the half of the day.

We were done. We were done. We were done. Yeah, we were done. Everybody. Everybody's done. You've already done another show. Yeah, everyone's done at the end of the day.

We're all done. We used to hang out afterwards. Now we go, holy God. I'm sort of glad that you can be honest with each other that you know what I mean, you've had enough. The last time we spoke to you, Seth, we talked to you about your book, and you were doing your pottery. You're still doing your pottery?

I am still doing my pottery, yes. Amazing. It's going very well. And Rose, as a friend, do you have any of Seth's pottery? Well, I did, Seth gave us a beautiful thing from, you know. From house play, from house plant. You're going to get you some real potter? Yeah.

And that had some product, pottery product in it. But I've seen the studio. It was gorgeous. Carla and I visited and it was beautiful and there were so many incredible pieces around the walls and like it was quite... It's a whole thing.

It's a whole thing. It's quite lovely. As genuine friends though, because I've got some friends that are artists and sometimes they give you things and you feel forced to put them out. Do you know what I mean? Like Rose, have you got one of his pieces of potter

and you only put it out once he when he comes over to say hello? No, but there is a great record from house plant that my kids like. Really? And we put it and they'll dance around their room

It's very cute And I'll be like this That's music Well I can't have it I get to hear of music I'm going to be a big But a lot of people I know I think have like a shelf

Of unwanted pottery I've got to clear it out Makes Space with the new stuff Yeah that's right Do you and apart from each other Like are there tones to the show That ring true that You have had a friend

That people struggle to believe Is nothing more than a platonic frame? I have. I had a friend who I lived with who people could not believe. Several. Really? You can maintain a pretty clear boundary. People could not believe.

No one has a hard time believing that that a woman wouldn't want to have a sexual relationship with me. It's all to find it very easy to wrap their head around the fact that a woman would want to have a strictly platonic relationship with me, so it's never been called into question. Rose, would you ever consider getting a, I don't know, I mean it seems crazy, but maybe getting a tattoo of

Seth in honor to honor your friendship in the way that I have a tattoo of Vaughn on my leg? Yeah, who's to say she doesn't have one? He used to say, you didn't see my body. You know, I don't know my wristache. You don't know when her whole back is covered in. Do you know what, Rose, I actually haven't seen

your nude body. There could be a little, Seth. I have a picture of... I have a picture of Vaughn riding a horse on my thigh, and I'll tell you what, a lot of people did think it meant that I was in love with it. Well, that's never, they're entitled their opinion, you know. I hope you at least like him. Exactly. It's all right, but I agree sort of in your sentiment by the end of our workday.

I've had enough as well. You have to take me home on your thigh, on a horse. It's not the worst thing. Well, I recommend it to celebrate a beautiful platonic friendship, and we really love the show. It's a bloody laugh. Do you guys get free reign with the script? Can I ask?

Because I know you're both so funny and you're great keen improvisers. Do you get to sort of run wild with it? We are allowed to improvise and encouraged to improvise. Yeah. And it's fun. And not everyone is good at improvising,

but the people on this show are, which makes it much more enjoyable to do. Yeah, and it's always a good set up. You know, they give you good, you know, stuff to work with and then it's generally allowed to have a little go. Yeah, we're keen. I think my favorite running thing from season run

is how much your character hates that e- scooters said. There's one where you throw it, and it's just like, the throw could have gone so badly because those things are so heavy compared to what they look like. And you're like, wind it around at one stage, and I'm just like, man, I bet people were freaking out that you were going to hurt yourself when you tossed it.

Yes, I actually did hurt my shoulder and it hurt for like months after. Yeah, because we're a similar rage, and I can't pull that shit anymore. No, yes, I really hurt my... On almost everything I film now, I hurt myself at some point or another trying to do some stupid physical joke that I am too old and out of shape to do, but I won't stop doing it.

And now, yes, I really hurt my shoulder throwing those dumb scooters in the first season of the show. Thank you, guys. Thank you so much for Chaddock. Thanks, bye. Play ZDM's Flashworn and Haley I've got a confession to make right now I'm I am proud I'm not ashamed

Okay to admit I'm a K-pop girlie pop now Wow that must have taken It took some strength It took some strength to admit it Yeah right The producer good ones are laughing at you It's good yesterday at the gym

My iPad was out of batteries Yeah So I usually watch TV What do you have batteries My iPad was flat. My iPad was out of battery. It was because I said batteries, right? If I said my iPad was out of battery, I would have got away with that.

Well, to say, it was flat. It was flat, yeah. My iPad was flat. So I turned to the timeless classic of listening to music while working out, which I just never really do. It's so weird you watch TV shows while you work out. It takes my mind off. You can't focus enough though. I read a book while I work out, so I get it.

You're not working out hard enough. Why? Because your eyes can focus on words. I'm cycling. You know, when it... Are you sitting on a bike? Yeah. No hands.

You're not focusing enough. I remember seeing people at the gym, like, flicking through a magazine. Or like, people... I saw someone the other day walking and reading a book. I was like, what do you do it? I've crocheted on a treadmill. How slow are you going on the treadmill to be able to crochet? I mean, you're a very good crochet, I imagine you could do some training and crochet while at a quick trot.

Right. So I was listening to music and I just never do this. And I just listen to K-pop the entire time. I've been on a K-pop buzz for a while now. Okay. K-pop Demon Hunters might be my movie of the year. I watched it with my daughter and we were just like, yes, and we love it. And this song here in the background is literally a fictional band,

a song written for a movie on Netflix that is now charting. Yeah. Yeah, massive song. They have six of the top ten songs at the moment in New Zealand. And the fictional K-pop band, the Saja Boys, off K-pop Demon Hunters, this song, I'll play it for you if you put my one up.

This has beaten a BTS, you know, BTS, the actual K-pop band. This has beaten a record they had as the highest debuting song from a K-pop boy band in the US charts. It debuted at number eight. And it's a fictional boy band. A lot of people recharging their batteries.

and their iPhones to listen to this music It's boy bands It's the new Right I'm just kind of on board with it And then it was like Obviously that soundtrack finished

So it just started feeding me out of the K-pop And I was on board with all of it Right Yeah Cats Eye is a band Technically I had to look them up Technically not K-pop Sort of an LA manufactured

K-pop band Not authentic K-pop They're rumoured to be opening For Sabrina Carpenter If she did come down under There was a leaked thing any more excuse to go to Sabrina Carpong of the concert because I've been on my girly pop era for

Chapel Rhone, Sabrina, Olivia Rodriguez. I listen to it all the time. I've been on that buzz for like a year and a half, a year solidly and now I'm merging into a K-pop girly pop. A bit more. Okay. I just have this picture now of the three of you at Sabrina Carpenter concert.

You should. Oh, that would be so fun. Oh my gosh. And we could, if you go to like a black pink concert or whatever, you can get those one thing. You know, those light-up sticks that they have that, like, all the fans are. Everyone doesn't be merch and it's too expensive. He's in a personal recession.

Girlies, what do we think about, like, Black Pink's individual success, hampering the joint efforts of the band and their current tour? Look, I will always vote for a solo artist. Like, I just think that they seem happier doing their own thing. Yeah. But, you know, it's nice to see them putting out new songs together as well. I just don't feel we're getting, like, the full experience anymore. No.

their own individual success. Jumps is one of the best songs of this year, I reckon, from Blackpank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. And what do we think about Jenny, just as an individual artist? I don't know anyone you're talking about. Jenny.

Jenny. Who sings the song, Jenny? While to release a song called Jenny. Yeah. When your name is Jenny. About how cool Jenny is. So how long until you get a lububo on your backpack? Oh, my goodness.

Let's go to Pop Mart. Sweetie, bold of you to assume I don't have a lububo on my backpack already. It sounds like you definitely do. But it's all like, it's all up. And it's like good music. Yeah. That amps you up. It's not dreary stuff.

I don't know enough of that. I don't need any more of that. You don't need the girly pot. No, I know. I need more of the upbeat, feel good stuff. And that is what I'm getting from my K-pop music at the moment. Play Z-M's flesh, one and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day.

I 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 this week is linguistic oddity's week here at the fact of the day. Fletch, what's a pangram? Oh, you're going to be tested every day. I don't like it when you do this. It was when it's backwards, the same word as backwards and forwards. What's that one? It's a palindrome. Oh, that's a palindrome.

Was that the other day? Yeah, pangram was the first day of the week. Monday. Oh, I can't remember. Quick Brown Fox jumps over the lazy dog. Oh, yeah, every letter. But you already tested me on this and I passed. You've just failed.

You've got to retain the knowledge. This every year. Yeah, you do. Three years in a row, it gets progressively harder. Yeah, but they don't retest you on the other years. What is an anodrome? I said it's where they keep the planes.

Small planes. It's a word that when it's spelled backwards is a different word. I've already answered that one. No, that was yesterday's fact of the day, so you lived it. Okay. What is today? Wednesday. Oh no, slow, wait.

Slow, same. Felt like a Thursday. Really? It's got Thursday energy, but it's not a Wednesday. Today, I want to talk about Janus words. Okay. Janus words. Also, it's very close to anus and it just makes me giggle.

It is very close. It's like the bit of skin on your elbow, the weenus. The weenis, very funny. I just always find that funny. You look your own wiener, the old, but you can't look your own weenis sort of situation. No, very hard to. Can't do it. Janus comes from the Roman god of beginnings and endings.

Two faces looking in opposite directions As a general depiction And Janus words are also known as auto-antonyms Because they have two opposing meanings In a single word Some examples of Janus words Okay

Dust Because that could mean To remove dust You dust something Yep Or to add dust Like I'm going to dust something Oh yeah

Like dust for fingerprints I'm going to dust for fingerprints Means you put on the dust But if you're going to dust the cupboards, you are removing the dust. But you just say dust. And that's a Janus word. Left.

He departed. He left or he left. What's remaining is left. So something is left. It's gone or something is left and it's left behind. Right. Clip is another one. So that could mean to attach something, clip it together or to cut off.

Clip it. God, it must be a hard language to learn. It's a silly language. Because you're like, that's silly. It's a very silly language. Yeah, that's just English. English is a mutt language. It's a refish or known.

It's a mutt language. It's a mass. a mashup of Latin, Germanic, French and other languages that we want to borrow words from when they don't fit. What are you giggling at? Someone texted and you probably can't like your own Janus too. Can't look your anus, can't look your own Janus? Yeah, grow up. Can't you? Because Janus is a word. Come on. Not a body part. No, grow up. Um, so other examples of Janus seed. You're going to seed something? Oh yeah. Yeah. To plant seeds or remove seeds. Yeah. Trim. Like you add a Christmas trim or you trim, remove it. Or share.

Shannon Trim. Our producer, Shannon Trim. You're a Janus. Thank you so much. That is an honour. No, I love, I always say when everyone's like, what's your name? I say Shannon Trim like the milk. That's how I like convey it.

Because it's been trimmed of the fat. Whereas, yeah, if you were to trim the fat, you would just be, no, that would be also removing the fat. But in this situation. That's not a Janus. Not in this situation. No. Not in the situation. Resign is to quit, but it's also to resign,

accept without protest. That's the same word. Oh, yeah. A rent to lease out, but also rent is to pay rent. To pay the lease, but to lease out. Yep, yeah. So there's lots of them. Stone.

So to stone someone is to throw stones at them until they're dead, but to stone something is also like to remove stones. You've got to stone those cherries. Yeah. But you're not going to throw stones at the cherries. You are literally taking the stones away from the cherries. So that's a Janus word. Okay.

And today's fact of the day is Janus words are, when one word has two very opposite meanings. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. I 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. Now, this is a lesson. Actually, I had never thought about this, but a great lesson for anybody that's about to be a bridesmaid. Okay. Never sit down, no matter how tired your legs are

before you've walked down the aisle because you could sit in something and everyone's looking at you when you're walking down the aisle. This comes to us a lesson learned hard by a bridesmaid online who sat down because she said her legs were tired. I would have taken my shoes off. That's the better option.

Take off the shoes and carry them for a bit. You can't just be walking around a wedding. They were waiting for that part just before the bride leaves the, like her spot to get to the wedding. Right. A bit of fath. Okay.

So this girl sits down, sits straight in oil. Oil. So the oil stains the back of the dress. What kind of, like olive oil? Olive oil. It's not black like motor oil. Okay. But it's oily as in, because then she's like, get it off, get it, like someone's got to get it off.

You're not getting oil out. They use water and a thing and they just sort of smear the oil bigger. You've got a soak. I was soaked. I would have paper towel. There's no time for a soak, I don't think. Okay. What do you do?

Because it's also not the material that can be. ironed, because I was going to say put a paper towel on an iron. Yeah, that's not going to work. Yeah, that's not going to work. Baking soda? That looks like spray and wipe. They put on some baking soda and gave it a scrub, but it doesn't look like it's coming off. In fact, now they've just put baking soda and they've scrubbed their already sheer sort of fabric, which has scratched that, which is probably made it.

Okay. Wrap a towel around. Yeah, wrap a towel around and walk down the aisle. Yeah, get on with it. Easy, done. So, people are saying baking soda. Baking soda will soak up the oil, but you've got to have time on your side to be able to Yeah, you're walking down the aisle on a matter of minutes. No, she had a big responsibility and she absolutely cooped it.

It got us onto thinking about the wedding day disasters. It's a day with so much pressure put upon it. And it's such an insular day. The day is all, the lead up too, and then afterwards everyone's talking about it.

And then the lead up to everyone's talking about it and it's all put on that one day and pressure does make diamonds but pressure also makes you shoot yourself. Yeah. There wouldn't be a single wedding that's gone absolutely flawlessly and perfect, right? There's always some kind of stress.

I wouldn't think so. Or something that happens. Exactly. Because you're planning the day, day so long, you probably find something. Yeah, the weather, cars breaking down, because people always use a classic car. Yeah, true. You get your wedding and they break down.

Well, this is exactly what we want to talk about this morning. 0.800 at him. We want to take your calls. Text through 9-696. What was the wedding day disaster? What went wrong on the big day? And, I mean, maybe we can look back now and laugh. Maybe. Or maybe

maybe you're still fuming about it? Maybe. Because your bridesmaid sat in a puddle of oil somehow. And it ruined you very, very expensive day. 0,800.000. Give us a call. Text in 9-696. What was the wedding day disaster? Apparently baby powder also gets oil out of fabric.

I'd also create a paste. Yeah, and then you're walking down the aisle people are going to... Just think they'd just sit that out, eh, and just have an uneven amount of... Yeah. They can just watch from the back or something. We want to know the wedding day disaster. Janie, what was the wedding day disaster? This was your wedding dress.

It was. Morning, guys. So this is similar to your story, which I can couldn't believe I just heard. So I was in my wedding dress, ready to go. The car was waiting outside. Everyone had left. I was there on my own with my granddad. Walked out the door.

And my dress in the 90s was pretty big and fat and large. Yeah. We're underneath the car, the wedding car, and had a massive black streak of oil across the side of the dress. Because what? It was a classic car that was leaking oil. It wasn't leaking. It was just a dirty old classic car.

And as I walked up. Oh, no. No. And so what did you do? I was 19, and I had absolute hysterics. And my poor granddad was the only person left the home with me and didn't really know what to do. So in the end, he threw a couple of water on it,

which obviously didn't do anything. And then kind of, like, folded my dress to trying to, you know, disguise it. But for me, I felt like once my thing had gone wrong, I kind of relaxed after that because I was like, yeah, okay. Yeah, right. But the things already happen. You're not anticipating something. and gone wrong? You're like, how that's happened?

Yeah, I'm done. All good. Anyway, we got divorced eight years later. Oh, okay. I was going to say 19's very... 19. It's very young, isn't it? Very young. It was not too young. I don't know what I was thinking. Yeah. Janie, thanks you call. Anonymous. What went wrong on the wedding day? What was the wedding day disaster? Hi. So, I was a very kind of chill bride. I think I need to establish that.

Like, I literally didn't care about flowers. I was like, if it doesn't work, it's fine. If the weather turns to crap, whatever. The day before my wedding, my mother-in-law was very, very sick with a vomiting bug. And then that went through a few people. I'm like, okay, right, that's going to happen. And then morning of the wedding, my fiancé, who was still fiancé, then rang me and says, I've been vomiting since midnight. So he was so sick, like, couldn't even get out of bed, but somehow got out of bed,

made it to our wedding, we got through our wedding. But he's also type 1 diabetic. Right. And as a type 1 diabetic, if you're vomiting, you can't eat food because of the insulin. So he literally didn't get to eat any of our food at our wedding at all. And, like, it was absolutely miserable. My auntie who at the time was sick with cancer said, look, just take these. He goes, I don't know what they were.

What, the magic nice view. The anti-nauzia pills. Yeah, Shannon and Dishol or something. Yeah, yeah. And that got him through, and I literally lived my first fellow through sickness in the health. Wow, and he just sat there at the wedding table with a bucket beside the table. Yeah, and also Indian. We had, like, Fusion Indian food, like.

Oh, yum! Okay, let's talk about the Fusion Indian food at a wedding. Yeah, no one is... Yeah, what great food for a wedding. Yeah. Amazing. So we had, like, a buffet, but it was like a mixture of, like, like, Rogan Josh and your buttered chicken and all that kind of stuff with, like, normal food and, yeah, seafood.

Yum. Yeah, it was amazing. Yeah, although I will say that would go on a white shirt though. Yeah, I was going to say, Curry's at a wedding. There's a lot of white shirts at a wedding. Amazing, anonymous, thank you. Keep your text coming in.

9-696. We'll get to more of those next. George is in. Good morning, fellas. Yeah, Haley's away sick today. You didn't have a wedding day disaster, did you? I actually didn't. Like, I was trying to think before.

Did it go perfectly? No stress? No stress, but then I went into it with no stress. The only thing the day before is one of the bridesmaids left to her dress at home. But that was fine. Someone else just went and picked it up for her. No big death. Oh, yeah.

Someone left their wedding dress. Who was the bride? I feel like we know them. The bridesmaid left the wedding dress at home at home, like in a different city. And somebody else had to take it to them. Oh, yeah, but that was fine because I think I, yeah, I have to get who that was, but I remember someone was coming down,

so it didn't matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it got sorted, but unnecessarily like a moment of guy's stress. Anonymous joins us. This was a wedding day disaster involving a ring? Yes, good morning, guys. Um, so two days before our wedding, I got a fake tan and took my engagement ring off. Yep.

Uh, went and got to fake tan, and then woke up the next day and realized, oh, I didn't have my engagement ring on. Okay. And I could not find it anywhere. And at that point, my panic is, like, starting to sit in my fiancé or now husband at the time. Wait a minute. Now you said fiancé, now husband. at the time no longer together? No, we're together now.

Okay, so we're... Clarifying. Yeah, pre-wedding for us at now, husband. Okay. And we had, like, tipped our whole house up and out, like, looking through, did I leave it? Where I went for my fake tan, no, it wasn't there. We had family members looking around, like, my crazy aunt who had, like, a crystal and was

like, oh, I think it's in this room. Oh, wait, so she was using a... She was using a... Oh, she was. Yeah, of course she was. Because rocks talk to each other. Yeah, yeah. It's a harmonic frequency. It's good that we charge.

Follow the vibration and it'll just appear. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, we didn't find it. So I got married without my engagement ring. I never even thought about this, but does it matter if you're wearing your engagement ring at your wedding? Well, you're supposed to put it on the other, so you'd put it on the other hand in the place, like on the same finger. Right. And then you're supposed to put it on top afterwards.

Like, it's a whole thing. But it doesn't really. And you what, it had just been left at the fake tan place? No, so I didn't find it until like a week later, which was after our honeymoon. And I was like, it's got to be somewhere. And I had picked it up and put it in like a box that I had like some receipts in. Oh, in a receipt box. Crazy.

This is why I always get my receipts e-mail to me, just saying. Yeah, yeah, how good is that? I love it as that. Yeah. Yeah. But what had happened is I already looked in this box because I remember putting it the ring to the receipts, and I had pulled the receipts out of the box, but I never tipped the box upside down.

Right, because I thought when you said fake tan, I imagine you'd turn up at your wedding British Orange. I was thinking of them on for Lumpuron. I thought it was more fake tan related. Anonymous, thank you, Tess. What was the wedding day disaster? Where do you want to start it? Because there was quite a few.

Okay. Really? Yeah, yeah. So there was, it was a week before the crash. Earthquake. Oh, jeez. Before, probably the better week to have it, though. Yeah.

Yeah. No, sorry, the earthquake happened before. Oh, the earthquake was the week before. Oh, right. Okay. Yep. And then, so at church fell over, our reception fell over. We were supposed to get spray tans at a particular place, but we ended up getting

them wherever we could. So a couple of the bridesmaids were slightly different colours than they should have been. Oh, good. Um, the rings were, uh, one, uh, the groom's ring was smaller than it was meant to be. So we had to get that resized. Um, what else happened. What, what, but, Tess, what a good story. Now, mate. Are you still married? Are you still married? No, no, no, no.

So that fell over as well. Oh, yeah. Oh, car. Yeah, that fell over as well. Yeah. What do you mean? In fact, should we're laughing about it now? We can laugh about it now. Oh, Fletch. No, we can laugh about it now because I'm now married to the best man. Yes. Way, aye, Matt! Tess!

You just moved the Richter scale with that. Bombshell. Some tectonic plates crash. Okay. Okay. Are they still friends? No, no, they are not. And that happened after they broke up their friendship as well.

Oh, right. That's good. The marriage dissolved. But this is such a Christchurch story by the way If you'd made me guess what If you'd made me guess what city this was I would have said Christchurch almost allegedly Wow

But we're not related so it's fine Okay well no you said best man Not cousin The DNA testles Tell us more That's amazing That's interesting more down south I'll have you know

Oh right George's okay That's fascinating But yeah So the tin also flooded The heater caught on fire the electrical spark. At this stage, Tess, as a non-religious man, I would say God was sending some signals. Yeah.

It wasn't, that wedding wasn't meant to happen, Tess. I'll say it now. I didn't listen. Yeah. So, yeah. Well, you're happy now. You've got the best man. Yeah.

You got the best man. I am happily married to the best man with two beautiful children. And can I say, long-time listener, first-time call it. I felt it at the start. Because I reached for the bell, too. Yeah, I felt it at the start. Yeah, you did. Tess, thank you so much for sharing.

Amazing story. I've got follow-up questions. Oh, what? No, what? What? How long did the first marriage last? Under a year. Okay, okay.

Because that was like, you've crammed a lot in since the earthquake. Like, you've rebuilt your life quicker than they rebuilt that city. Yeah. But I did make it into the Women's Weekly, so that was another. Oh, because of all the things. Yes, of that. Oh, wow. Okay.

Women's Weekly did a wedding that wasn't a celebrity wedding. Shocked, Laura. disaster would be amazing. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I feel like I'm prying now, but I'm just fascinated how long between the end of your marriage

did the relationship with the best man start? Yeah, there was a couple of months. Wait, it feels like there's an over. It was over, though. It was over. Fair enough, it's fair game. It was over over. But they had also stopped being friends.

Yes. Okay, so it's fair. It's fair, cool. Okay. Yeah, okay. All right, I think that's all the questions we have for you. I think I want more questions. Was there any disasters at the second wedding when you got married to the best best man?

How'd that go? The second wedding? The second wedding was a very low-key private with a wedding celebrant. So no disasters, no nearly falling in the pool, no any, nothing we're wrong. Nothing on the Richter scale, nothing on Geonet that day? No, we already had kids by then. Okay, yeah, right. Right, no disasters around it either.

No. Fantastic. Wasn't the week after the submergeable imploded when they were going to look for the Titanic? No, we're all good there. Tess, thank you so much. Hey, Tess, thank you very much for being part of the show today. Actually, I'm always saying caller in the week. Is it too early?

I'm going to say call her on the week. I'm going to say call on the Wednesday. I do what I want. Warren, you shut up. Okay, if you had to rate, review or marry, Fletch, Vaughn or Haley, what one would it be? Okay, I would marry Haley. I would have sex. Wait, which one is it?

No, no, no, no, it's only rate review, Mary. Oh, okay. No comment. I don't have sex with the podcast. I don't know how they wouldn't work. Give us a sexy little review, though. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
