It's like, my alarm is the bird's alarm on iPhone. Yeah, it was so quiet. The actual birds outside were louder. Yeah, we were just looking to see if there was like an update with mist or something.

You think there's a bug or something? I just think I might have turned my phone down real long. No, because mine has done this before. Mine's done this before. Well, you might need to restart your phones or do an update or something. I will do. I will.

I want to tell you. I would log into my fridge from wherever I am on my phone to see what I need. Oh, it's so silly. Because you can be at the supermarket and see if you need yogurt. Wait, does it look? inside does it take the lids off? Oh, no.

It's going to see Blaine 9 jars of poison. Yeah, but then you know you don't eat a tent. Oh, no. Just, I think sometimes we need to calm down. Yeah. You know what I may? Next on the show. Speaking of supermarkets, there is a new trend that people have been doing in the supermarket.

There has nothing to do with food, really. Play ZM's FlashForn and Haley. I wish I could talk about on airway. I wish we could talk about on here what we were just talking about off here. Why is this so low today? It was very dark. Did I?

I'm in my warm down. You and your warm down era. So I'm just looking online at a cold plunge pole, Right, if I wanted to put one in my thudder. I love that band. 2,800. Try your best. Don't succeed.

Maybe we'll just mic him off until he's warmed up and got his head in the game. $2,800 for a little red seeded one. If you want to get one of those blow-up ones, it's like $800. They've become all the rage cold plunges. Ice bath. Ice bath. Wimhoff. Did you see Art Greens built himself a little sauna escape?

No, it is... His original one was a chest freezer. He's got a chest freeze But I think he's doing that And he's got a sauna beside it And he goes hot cold, hot cold Which is Katie Perry's One of Katie Perry's greatest

Can spike cortisol I also aggravate women With or without PCOres Really and you're doing it so well this morning But they're expensive Right even if you were to go somewhere to get it done or like go to a place

they're really expensive so here's what people are doing they're doing cold plungers at the supermarket so what you might do is you go to the freezer section now some freezers

sections in the supermarket they're like stand up for it freezers yeah they do yeah yeah so what you do is you open up the Teagle takeout place or the berry place or the ice cream bit stick yourself in there for a minute just as much as you can

just put the door open and then just kind of like get as cold as pause and then you'll quickly close that and they'll run run run run back to the hot chooks and you're going to go right by the handbag chokes what are you talking about? Go the handbag chooks sit there for a minute

run run run run back to the freezer right so it's a supermarket it's a supermarket hot cold therapy hot cold therapy right okay and do you know what it is? It's free. It's also dumb. It's free.

It's free but it's free And you're going to look, you'll pay the ultimate price and look like a dick. No, but you've just come from the gym. You're like, I'm all pumped up. That's a great. A lot of people do it after big muscle workouts. I quite often go to the supermarket right after the gym.

This is perfect for someone like you. So you've lifted bra. So we're doing biceps, triceps. Yeah. Brah. We walk into New World, Woolworths, I don't care, pack and save. You're feeling jacked, bruh. Straight to the cold plunge, straight to the freezer.

Is this the muscle mister enough for a con? Cold therapy? Is the muscle mist a cold therapy? I don't know, I don't think so. Could be good for the skin. Do you know it would be good? A booze store, beer fridge. The walk-in?

Yes, yes. Because sometimes on a hot day, I just pop in there. Some supermarkets have them. Yeah, like, will a walk-in frid zones? Okay, that's even better. Five minutes. I mean, they're going to think you shoplifting. No, what I would do is I'd gather two to three hot chucks.

Okay. And I'd park them outside the beer fridge. Gotcha. So that it's quicker, so you don't have to do this sort of embarrassing running bit. I mean, this is a flawless.

Hey, can I interrupt this scientific thing just to give a shout out to the Pakaranga swimming team as they're heading to Christchurch for the Special Olympics National Games today. Joe's just been on the blower.

Good luck. And we just want to say, get down there, get in that pool. You're going to be christening that pool. Don't do wheeze in it. It's the first kind of event at that new Christchurch pool.

Yeah. Do you know what they're going to need after a big hard swim? Get to the supermarket. Get a hot cold therapy. Get in that fridge and then get by the hot chocks. Do that 10 times. Great for recovery. Great for muscle recovery.

The flesh fallen hayley, big pod. Well, we've mentioned nearly all of the dictionary words of the year. Yeah. Do you remember them? Rage bait. Wasn't that Oxford, which is my dictionary of choice? Yes. Tell me it wasn't six, seven.

Collins was vibe coding Macquarie was AI slop AI slop and so a studies looked at all of these And basically, they are saying that this is reflecting that we have disillusionment with, I guess, the world at the moment and technology.

Oh, yeah, because what a fun world to actively engage with. I think I will live happily in disillusionment for a little bit longer. Yeah, I suppose so. But yeah, it's very like, if you look at words of the year gone by, I know it's always zeitgeisty, right? Like, it's always like, what is the world talking about at the moment? But I feel like in the last few years It's literally

Tick-Tock, right? That's all the words of the year They've come from, 6-7 rage bait It's just like online trends Yeah, but that just reflects our world though, doesn't it? Yeah, but go out and have a walk in the park And then the word of the year could be leaf Or lake

and ended up going with a big dog with very few features. More features just mean more to go wrong. God, that's a boomer thing to say, eh? Yeah. All these bells and whistles, they'll all go wrong. They also take up space. Like, those ice machines literally take up half the freezer. Oh, yeah.

My parents had went, so their freezer was always, like, jammed, but they're like, we've got an ice maker. Mine sits up in the backside of the door. Yeah. And then underneath, you've got a couple of shelves. Oh, yeah. Oh, I think it's a very effective use of space. I could only speak to the Samsung French fridge.

I have the shittiest memory When it comes to putting stuff On the shopping list So this sounds helpful Mart says your fridge Can you imagine What if someone locked you out of your fridge? Oh my God

Your fridge can get hacked hackers are like, well, we need a thousand Bitcoin before you can get in to get your Wilson sauce. Yeah. You're like, I've got a roast chook in there. No. You've got two days then. I say yes, because if I've got a smart fridge that means I've won shitloads of money to throw

That'd be kind of funny. Remember that couple that... It wouldn't be annoying. I'd get home, there'd be little puddles everywhere. That couple that went away, and they didn't turn off their ice maker, and then their whole entire freezer was just ice. Yeah. They'd open it, it's like poured out.

That's a good prank. If you know some more than ice maker and they're going away, if you take the thing that catches it out, it'll just keep going because it's not. No, no, no, no, no, don't do that to me. That's a good prank. If anybody does that to me, you won't be invited to my house. Oh, please.

Now I want to know right now from our lovely listeners,

what is your embarrassing car moment? In your life, maybe when you were learning or maybe just recently because and I don't know why this is so cringe but someone was in New York City and they were looking at their window and they could see someone attempting to Parallel Park again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and oh no out we go

realign it some people just don't they just can't calculate space like I'll instantly see a space and be like I'm not fitting in there I won't even try I'm very good at it. If you watch Taskmaster I actually did it as my special impressive skill. Yeah you're very good at

Thank you. Well, they were watching this person parallel park, Parallel Park, try again, seven minutes, and then they clocked, I recognised that person, and realized it was Joe Jonas. I don't know why it's more embarrassing for a celebrity because when you're screwing up your parallel parking,

you're just an anonymous person. People are just looking at you being like shame. Although, have you ever been at like a cafe or a bar and you're sitting like on the street and you can see someone parallel parking and that everyone is watching? Yeah, great watch. It's so sharp, almost at 90 degrees.

You're like, you're that's, you've stuffed that. You're not getting in there. You're not getting in there. But it is, it's so embarrassing when you do have to redo it time and time again. And yet people are on the street in their little cafe tables watching you, try to get in this little gap. But it doesn't have to be a parking embarrassment. It could be a driving embarrassment. He's really embraced it, though, in all fairness, Joe Jonas.

Like, he's really kind of online realized that he's owning it. And he's making fun of it. Go on. What's the best way to do it? Well, just basically the comments were very funny. Yeah. And he was commenting back on some of it as well. Being like, oh my God, how shame, basically.

Anyway, I want to know what is your embarrassing car moment? Doesn't it have to be parking. Could be a driving, could be... Mixing up, mixing up the pedals. I reckon my, mate, like, there's nothing more shameful than getting you... I don't know why still, getting your skirt stuck in the door. Oh, that's embarrassing. I know when you see someone driving past like that,

you're always just like... I don't know what's so shameful about it and then having a big wet skirt. Yep, yeah, a little wet. The corner's wet and you go out and it would touch your leg and then you're like, how many people saw this? And you're just driving long. All you can think is the image of your skirt being like...

Yeah. In the rain. Or just a dumb moment where, I don't know, you run out of gas or had a little crash. That's what I want to know. Whatever it is, oh, 800,000, episode number 9-6-96. Tell us your embarrassing car moment. Current views 3.1 million.

It's so shame. I love New York because I've been watching Joe Jonas Parallel Park for the last seven minutes. Yeah, and do you know what is brilliant from Joe Jonas? He responded to that main video, which by the way, over multiple platforms has 11 million views. Wow, okay. He messaged saying,

and I saw you watch and not help once. Yes. And then he posted a video later in the day of him like walking through the streets in New York being like how New York has treated me since that video. Yeah, it's so good. The comments is so great, but it's embarrassing. It is embarrassing for him, and we want to know your embarrassing car moments.

Bella, what's yours? When I was younger, back in the 80s, when my father couldn't figure out how to use a washing machine and mum had gone overseas. Yep. So he thought, right, I'll take all our dirty laundry to his mum and dad. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Put it on the roof of the car.

How are we doing? Good, good. Not bad, Matt. Good, mate. Good, hey. So, first time I'm driving with mum. Yeah. I'm about 15, 16.

A nice, like, rural area. She pulls over. I hop in the driver's seat and pull out, start driving. We get about 500 metres down the road. And she looks at me and she's like, you know what you're doing wrong? No. Oh, what, we're on the wrong side of the road. Gotcha.

As the driver, you felt safest on that, closest to the side of the road. Pretty much, yeah. Too much grand theft order, I think, hey. Oh, yeah. Because that teacher, you drive on the American side, yeah. Yeah, that's that. I mean, that's sort of, I'd say that's probably rule number one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stick left in New Zealand. That's why when you pull out of any tourist attraction in New Zealand, like there's always a couple of arrows. Yeah, yeah, being like, this one. Just for all the tourists. Matt, thank you. Let's go to Tanya.

Tanya, what was your embarrassing car moment? I try to parallel my own car in front of my house on a hill. I thought I was in reverse, was actually in drive, and rear-ended my own parked car in front of me.

Gotcha. Okay, did you leave your details for yourself on the windscreen, just in a note? No, but people just look out their window and I've just slagged it and like I've got two damaged cars now. Oh, no.

Cool, cool, cool. That sucks, double wham. Well, at least it was your own car. I know. It was rather embarrassing. Is that one insurance excess or two? Yeah, well, that's why I haven't claimed. Okay.

No, but it's one event. Yes. But two vehicles. But two vehicles. Oh my God, now I need to know the answer to this question. Well, I presume it would be two excesses, wouldn't it? Yeah, because you're the doer and the receiver. Yeah.

Are you paying your own excess? So technically it's free. That's why I've got two damaged cars I don't even want to go there If somebody from the insurance industry is listening We need an answer to the question Is it one or two? It could be worse

Someone messaged and they went to St. Pierre's For sushi and didn't break properly And drove straight into the shop Okay what sushi of the day was it What day was it? Shattered glass and tuna Yeah Yum

I think was the sushi of the day later Tanya thank you Some more messages in No one saw this But about a month ago I was turning left at left at the cup of tea road lights um so i pulled in behind the cars and i was like man this is taking ages i pulled him behind parked cars i've seen this i've seen this happen before and you see people just indicating and waiting and you're and then you like overtake to be like homie

there's no one in the car yeah they're parked what are they asleep at the wheel or something yeah um i love stopping when i see a a flock of turkeys and having a gobble at them so they gobble back um i'll do this on my drive to work one day i stopped i was like man that's a big group of turkeys. So I stopped, wound down my window, gobble, gobble, gobble, and they gobble back at me. I was like, ha ha ha. And then I noticed the farmer, who owned the farm was just sitting on his quad bike behind me, they're like, what are you doing? And I was so embarrassed. I haven't gobbled since. Oh, you should, you know what? You should gobble. Yeah. Also, I love that you just pull over and gobble. That's brilliant. Abby, what was your embarrassing car moment?

But no, it's so embarrassing, but it's also kind of an unbelievable one. A few years ago, I went to Rainbow Zen with my sister. Oh, lucky. Nice. Did you do all the rides, or were you too scared to do some of them? Back then, I actually managed to do all of them. But when I've gone recently, it was a, yeah, I'd chicken down of a couple of them. Yeah, the long film can get you.

Oh, your gold rush absolutely spooks me. We went from, so Yanoi, so, you know, Silverdale area, to Rambo's Inn. We were in Rambo's Inn for probably two, three hours. Mum calls us going, Dad can't find his phone or his wallet. Can you please go and check the car? Went back, checked the car in the parking lot. There's nowhere inside the car, and it wasn't until I stood up and looked at the roof of the car. Oh, my God.

And Dad's wallet and phone are sitting still quite happily on the top. Oh, my God. So out back. So they stayed on for the entire drive and for any passes by that could have stolen them. Yeah, and it was like a full, like a full dad's wallet fully, you know. Gee, wow. The iPhone at the time, it was unbelievable. So he'd obviously put them on top of the roof and they just trust him.

Dad wallets always have cash in them, too. Yeah, Dad wallets have cash. Cash is capped. They do. They do. They do. Abby, thank you. I thought 91 petrol meant that it was made in 1991.

and 95 petrol meant it was made in 1999 5. And we've never had any new petrol since. No. And I found this out when I out loud said to somebody, it's amazing they made that much petrol that it's lasted this long. That's a great and very embarrassing car. Should that be text of the week? I know it's only Wednesday.

It's very funny. That really tickled me. It really tickled me too. Even when I worked at the petrol station, I had no idea why it was called 91 and 95. Why is it called 91? It's levels of octane, isn't it? Yeah. And it's unleaded because of the lead in the... They took the lead out. I reckon they don't even need to say unleaded petrol anymore.

You want, they just do, like, red and green. Petrol. What's the car? Red and green milk. You know, like, green milk, green milk, green clean. Yep. And 95's always red. And diesel's always black.

Diesel's always black. And once you go black and... And that crush 98 stuff is... Yellow or blue. Yeah. That's calcium. That's calcium. That's calcium for strong bones.

So your car doesn't get osteoporosis. So we'll give text of the week $50. dollar Animates Voucher, thanks to Animates Making Happy Happen for Pets. Let's chuck in a Fletchhorn and Haley Rock Quest band names calendar. Oh, we love that. That's very nice of us, actually. Let's do that. That's very nice of us, isn't it? Somebody said, is it, when I've been pulled over

by the police before, it's not even about the fact I'm going to get a ticket or demerits. It's how embarrassing it is to be pulled over by the police and other cars drove past laughing at you? Yes. Because when you see someone pulled over, you always look. You slow down, you look. Yeah. Oh, and then you cast judgment, what had Alien pulled over for? Um, I had a car

from the 90s, my horn got stuck in On at 6.45 a.m. backing out the driveway. Very quiet neighborhood. I drive the longest three minutes to a petrol station who didn't know what to do. Driving with the horn going whole way sounded like I was being super angry or I'm just an asshole. I had to call my brother-in-law who helped me fix it. Oh my God, amazing. Somebody said, how embarrassing is it when you go around a corner but accidentally turn on your indicator so it looks like you're indicating for a corner it's not necessary.

I know, shame. All the time. The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Uber have released their rap for the year. Have they now? Kind of a report of how we use Uber in New Zealand and I'll start

with some great news. The average Uber rating writer rating for New Zealanders is 4.90. Wow, it's really good. Is that what are you guys currently sitting at, I think I'm at a... No, man. 4.86.

I feel like you've worn use, out of all of us, use it less, right? Because you live in the middle of nowhere. I use mine constantly. No, I don't use it. I don't use it. I couldn't even tell you if I've used... I have used it this year. I'm a 4.92. How do I find out? I'm a 4.86.

I'm a 4.85. So, um, you're the messiestura. Although you, you had to deal with an Uber, a spew in an Uber years ago, didn't you? So that, um, probably... Not mine. Not my spew. No. But I, yeah. Because I use mine all the time.

I'm a party gal. And I think you're... And I live far away. You're a party gal and I think that shows in your rating. I think it shows my rating. 4.86. I'm not mad at that. So the average New Zealand rider rating was 4.90

and the average Australian one is 4.82. Yeah, yeah. Trash. Wow. Because they are, they're way more trash. Do you think because I've used mine in Australia, do you think, you know, like I'm getting a little bit of the harsher reviews from the drivers as well.

Do you think they're more harsh over it? Oh, maybe, maybe. Well, top marks for New Zealand writers, Gisbon and Invercargo, who recently have just their newcomers to Uber compared to the rest of the country. Well. Average rating for people from Gizzy and Invercargo

at 4.99. Napier Hastings, 4.86. Auckland and Wellington, both with the average rider rating at 4.89, just under the national average. Who's at 4.84 with? me. 4.84. I'm just going down the list.

There's no one, Haley. Say, I'm bottom. I'm bottom. Yeah, you are, out of all the cities in New Zealand, there's no one down where you are. Can someone text in 966966? If you have a rating that's lower than four. Surely not, because the winner's... Okay, lowest, lowest Uber rating, 96-96. Get a prize.

We'll send your prize. No, I don't know if we should encourage. No. I'm not going to change it now, and we'll tell them to buck up their ideas. Oh, we're going to give them a rock up. I know that when you're a... You get a prize, but you also get a rock up. You get a telling off from us.

So far, the low bar is lower than me, 4.82. Okay. Because I know when you're a driver, you've got to stay above a certain rating to drive. Yeah, but is that the same for passengers? Like, if you're down low, you just won't get a ride? I just don't know. What is the lowest Uber rate rating? I don't know.

I kind of wanted that. list from them where it's the lost and found. I like that, but that's not in this list. Why not? Maybe that's coming. It's just rider, righter ratings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The lowest, the lowest city in the world, no, sorry, go ahead. Sorry, low threshold, a rating under, this is for drivers, under 4.6 is serious concern. Yeah. With Uber potentially taking action if it stays that low. Listeners, yes, are with low Uber ratings. My sister had a 3.9 a few years. years ago that's from 624 someone called emma said i used to have a 3.79 so i started a new account i was going to say you can't come back for that emma Emma what did you do can we

can we can we can we get on the phone please emma pick up the phone tell us some of your things that you did mine's 4.15 that's low huh that's low yeah that is 4.7 4.72 4.47 drivers start to um reject you Can they reject you? They're reading some of this. They can, if they're looking and they see that you're rating super low, they'll reject you because also it indicates that you might be a bit of a brick. And then you might rate them low.

So they're like, well, I don't want your low rating. Oh, yeah, right. Okay. Right. Now, I believe we have Emma on the phone. Emma, good morning. Oh, guys, I'm so ashamed. This is 3.9, Emma 3.9.

Emma 3.79. Oh, jeez. Now, what did you do? What do you think you did? There must have been several events or several overrides. It's three simple words, and it's Dunedin' Uni student. Oh, okay. Okay, yeah.

So are you reformed now? You're not a Danitin uni student? No, I'll have you know I'm actually a five now up here in Auckland. Oh, I did you start afreshie? Yes, I'm a change woman, I really am. I like that you change, Emma, I like, she's reformed. Yeah. Can we see her a, I think we should give Emma a prize.

Yeah, I was going to give her a rise. but she's performed herself. I shan't. Oh no, she knows she did wrong. She did. She changed. Emma, do you want one of our Rock West band name calendars?

Sure. She doesn't want it. We're going to 2.89 message in. Oh my goodness. We'll have to get them. If Emma doesn't want the calendar, I can hear it in her tone of voice. You don't have to say. She doesn't want a calendar. We'll find something. Sure is a woman's

no. Oh, did she say sure? How are you? Good? Thank you. Sure. Sure. What's wrong? We'll sort out... Are you okay? I'm fine. I'm fine. Do you want a calendar?

Sure. We'll sort out something for Emma. Somebody said, I've vomited in four different ubers, but my rating is still 4.92 because I vomited in ubers on other friends Uber accounts. That's the track. Loophole. Wow. Okay. That's a terrible behavior.

I don't believe we have been able to locate the 2.89. The 2.89 Uber rating. Surely that's not right. I have a five. My husband has a 4.88. He doesn't talk to them. Plus, I'm pretty sure I may have had a bad ride on his account once. Didn't spew.

Okay, yeah, apparently 2.89 is declining immediately to take the producer's calls. That's big 2.89. It's big 2.89. They don't want to admit to the nation. Play Z-Ns, Flesh, 1 and Haley. Okay, so I have purchased a Christmas train set, and it goes around the base of my Christmas tree because I really wanted one that goes in the Christmas tree

that attaches to the trunk of the trees. Oh, is that just around the base? It's around the base and it comes out from the Christmas tree And it goes around the Christmas tree I really wanted that But financially at the moment All I could afford to invest in Was it on the floor around the Christmas tree

That's okay, babe, that's okay Because at some point darling What you could have is one at the base One around the middle and one at the top And you could have them all running like that That would be a dream How much does a Christmas train That runs around the tree cost

If I told you what That holds on to the tree You can get Timu Christmas trains You can get Timu Christmas train Christmas trains. Okay. But they're more expensive because, of course, the structural engineer. Yes, I was going to say, how does it hold up the rails?

It holds up out by that and it grafts around the tree. It's one for 20 bucks on Timo. Get real. What? Battery-powered Christmas train. I'm actually, I know this because I'm making a T-Moo order at the moment. What I have learned about Christmas trains is you get what you pay for. Because I was all flustered in Kmart.

Okay. And I purchased their Christmas train. and it is junk I will say but it's an entry level train Well at least it's not asbestos sand You know like I think it might have some asbestos sand I'll say it's giving asbestos sand

I sprinkled asbestos sand on the tracks To provide a little extra grip Right Okay And also to be a flame retardant Right Yeah yeah yeah Should the worst happen

And there's some sort of derailing accident But man I tell you what Set it up and just turned it on And I was like yeah Does it just go round and round around Yeah Does it go chew two it can either go silently or it can do a chooch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chch-ch-oh-hhhh. Oh, that's not annoying. How often are you keeping this on?

Oh, not very often, because here's the other thing about the $50-dollar k-ccd-junk train. $50. It chewed through six double-a batteries at about. 15 minutes. Oh, that yes. Yes. Now, we need a plug in. You just said money's like tight. You spent $50 on a Kmart trade. I told you. I told

you. I got all caught up in the moment. Do you want me to add a Timu one? Because you've already got a junk train on the ground. You got a junk train on the ground. You got a junk train in the tree. Nothing against Kmart, but don't buy that train. Okay, right.

Hey, you know we usually pimp out Kmart. Oh, we love our... We love our came out jupes but this train is not it it's not a good review and I've been looking at a lot of model trains lately I was going to say you know what else I thought I could get into a slightly older age you know those boys that have the scale model trains

and they put them on their trailer and they take them to like there's different railways around New Zealand and they made up their chugga chugga chucho on their train yeah this is a gateway to you having a big train set in your garage and model yeah it's a bit great which is a bigger gateway to an autism diagnosis

as I've said many times they can't I can't diagnose you if they can't catch you. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flash, Foran and Haley. The Gone and Glow nominations announced yesterday. They celebrate TV and movies, aren't they? TV and movies. The one that is kind of topping the list is one battle after another,

which I haven't seen you, but I've heard such good things. Oh, really, really good movie. Leo? Leo. Leonardo DeCamprio. Benicio del Toro. Yeah, I really wanted to watch it at the movies when it came out. It was, wasn't it filmed on film?

Yes. I feel like I read somewhere it was filmed on actual film. Yeah, which is a big deal these days. Well, I think if someone's going to go to the effort of filming on film, you go and see it at the theatre. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, Best Motion Picture, Drama, Frankenstein's in there. That's old What's His Face?

Jacob Allorty, Sinners, Sentimental Value, Secret Agent. It was just an accident in Hamnet. Musical or comedy, Blue Moon Borgonia, Marty Supreme, no other choice, no Val Vague, one battle after another, no wicked for good. I had not heard of any one of those movies apart from one battle after another. They're saying that this year's quite, like, arty.

They're saying more than your big films that went everywhere, like, what was the one we were just talking about, like, Barbie and Oppenheimer, those years. These ones have all been, like, quite arty. Is it because they're not making, like most of those kind of movies just go straight to Netflix and streamers and they're only making actual

like big films to be in movies in the theatre or is it these guys or the Academy that has to have done its time in a theatre oh I don't actually know maybe I have a little lucky pose Julia Roberts has been

nominated for a best female actor in After the Hunt which I don't know Jennifer Lawrence is in there as well for Die My Love You I don't really know many of these films Male actor

Oscar Isaac's in there Dwayne the Rock Johnson Oh for the smash machine For the smashing machines Was that his first like dramatic movie? Yes Yeah Probably dramatic

With the safeties eh Didn't be the safeties The guy that did What was that Adam Sandler What the gym dealer? Uncut jams Uncut gems With Julia

Oh right I was actually the saftive muse Michael B Jordan's nominated Jeremy Ellen White's nominated for Springsteing. And then female actor musical comedy, there's Cynthia Arrivo for her role in Wicked. And Ariana Grande gets it for supporting. But they're not nominated for any of like the big,

like the movie or anything like that. Television nominees, Best Television Series Drama. This is the ones that I'm always like, here's what I'm watching. This is the list of like you want to tick off all of these shows because they're all obviously going to be great. White Lotus. Which took, for TV, took out the most nominees.

Yeah. Not most nominations. Severance. Slow horses. The diplomat, the pit, and pluribus. Which everyone's been talking about, but I haven't watched yet. No, that's about to finish in December. So that's why Vince Gilligan and do Breaking Bad and Medical Saw.

And it's got the, the saddest person on Earth has to save Earth. Yeah. It's like a sci-fi. It's got sci-fi. Dark comedy. That's so good. I'm really surprised The diplomats in that list

I love the diplomat on Netflix The latest season has just come out I think Is that Kerry Russell? Yeah But it's not like I don't like it's good But it's not like

Wow, severance good Yeah yeah yeah It's not like up there With those kind of shows Yeah Kathy Bates is nominated for Matt Locke Jenna Ortega's nominated for Wednesday

For Best Female And Comedy or Musical Right This is the Golden Globes The Golden Globes The Golden Gloves. So streaming films are fully eligible, no theatrical release required. They just have to meet runtime and availability requirements

and to be considered a motion picture. But the reason that they put these ones in, like if they're going to be in Netflix and also in theaters, is because to be, to qualify for the Oscars they have to. Yeah. For Best Picture, you have to be in 10 major US markets within 45 days of the initial Los Angeles run. Oh, yeah. Because it has to be in a commercial movie theatre in LA with at least three screenings per day and paid admissions.

I gave you the list of the best TV series drama. Here's the comedies. The Bear. Abbott Elementary, which is so funny. Only murders in the building. Hacks, which we love. Nobody wants this, which I thought was an interesting choice.

It's just sort of like a sweet rom-com with Kirsten. Oh, that's Kristen Bellin and Brody. Yes. Yeah, that's kind of fine. And the studio. Oh, that was so good. Good, that was so good. So definitely if you're like,

what should I watch movies and TV over summer? Just Google these lists because it's so good. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's FlashForn and Haley. I want to know from you. What cringe thing did you do when you were a teenager? Now, I've been seeing a lot people sharing online. Like me, they share a photo of them when they were a little teenager being like me

when I thought that Justin Timberlake was going to spot me from the crowd. and fall in love and they're just this little like 13 year old like dweeb you know like so embarrassing and I definitely had that or did you ever camp outside any of the hotels when like one direction were staying

or any bands? Did you do that? Yeah when good Charlotte was in Wellington really. I thought Billy the bassist was going to see me and be like oh my God like did you go for the basest because you were like less competition? No no just because I

found him the sexiest he was the most like gothny of them all and I just was so into him. Right. And then here you are being like, all he needs to do is just like, spot me in the crowd, I guess. It's a trend I love, but also McKenna Grace, who was an actress who was about to play Maisley Donna in

the new Hunger Games. Sunrise on the reaping. Sunrise and the reaping. It's the prequel. Yeah. They've been doing a bit of press about this and it turns out she used to write fan fiction about Peter Malak, Josh Hutchinson's character in the original Hunger

games. But he wasn't aware of it. I told Josh that you were Team Pita back in the day and used to make those fan edits. He didn't know. I did not know that. You didn't know that? You're the one to break it to me? Apparently. Well, she told, yeah, exactly. So you didn't read it like the rest of us in Teen Vogue. I didn't. I am a little behind to my Teen Vogue issues.

Well, why would you tell him? Because it was in Teen Vogue, so I thought maybe he knows. I still can't believe. I know you're embarrassed by that. He was honestly flattered. So, like, we all did this, but you never think as a teenager that you're then going to go in to work with him

and be in the movies and she used to make these like fan fix things and YouTube edits and they're like teen cringy. So this is what I want to know already someone's people are messaging in cringe when I was 17 and I did a few YouTube videos and then they have to just sit there. I've found that that person said their YouTube name

and I've found their video and I'm going to watch it I don't know if it's appropriate for broadcasts so I'll watch it. I would delete that stuff. God, I'm so glad we didn't have all of this when we were teenagers. I even see photos sometimes and I'm like, I'm so glad there weren't smartphones, social media. I did. I had, I was my space, but I was like, at least I was 16, 17, a little bit older.

Yeah. Rather than 30 when you're doing this, like, cringe. Like the stuff I wrote in my diary. Okay, 0800 dials at M, already messages coming in, text 9-696. What is the cringe thing you did as a teenager? Why did we ask, hey? This is so funny. Want to know, what is the cringe thing you did as a teenager?

McKenna Grace, who has recently been cast in the new Hunger Games film, used to make fanfic about the films. Yeah. And now it's all come out, and it's very embarrassing. Yes. Because it was like publish, right? It was online and stuff. She made, like, YouTube edits of, like, Peter and all that.

It's just like it's a lot. I used to write fan letters to Jonathan Taylor Thomas Pre-digital platforms It was a handwritten letter Somebody else said I used to send love letters and pictures To Scott Bayo and John Stamos when I was 12 I wrote a letter back to myself

Pretending to be them To show my friends saying they replied And look they wrote they loved me too You were catfishing yourself before it was It even had to turn You were Also, God, I hope someone kept that letter, like mum? Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God, how funny would that be? When I was 17, I did a few YouTube videos, one of them, a McDonald's Snoop Dog parody. That's Agent Hardy, 007, which I looked up. And I said, oh, my dude, and he's like, yeah, good a. And I was like, yep. Can we play any of it? Yep, I can play you to start.

Well, I mean, it's on YouTube, isn't it? It's on YouTube. It's public, public, yeah. It's public, yeah. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. McDonald's. We're so much drama all around the world.

It's kind of hard. It's actually not bad. I mean, it's not bad, bad. I just, that's as far as I watch. I don't know if there's any swear words. I mean, the producer girlies were loving it. We're feeling it. Wow. Bullsy, man.

I love that. That's good stuff. I think McDonald's should sign him. Get them on for an ad campaign. Yeah. Jenny? What did you do that was about cringgy in your teen years? Jenny?

Jenny. Jenny. She's not going to answer now because you did the Jenny. Jenny. I can hear Jenny. Jenny. Jenny. Hey, Jenny Tools.

She's not going to answer now. Jennifer. You she did the forest gum journey and you called her Jenny tools. I love you, Jenner. I'm hanging up. Well, I know what it was. Jenny got the Christina Aguilera half black, half platinum blonde. and then when Christina Aguilera

was coming to New Zealand she got that turned into dreadlocks. Oh, okay, great. Are we talking Christine Aguilera? D-I-R-R-R-T-Y. Yeah, that was dirty error. Treaded it for a concert. And then Christina Aguilera canceled a concert.

Oh, my mom wouldn't buy me new shoes so I wore socks to a college rugby game at Scott's College. Just socks. At 15, I got an undercut. Immediately regretted it. It had to wait years for it to grow out. Oh. Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed.

In year nine, we had to write a speech about justice. I went to a Catholic school. I decided to write about how my generation needs to show justice for the Beatles because they're a supremely better band than all these boy bands like One Direction because look at me, I'm so quirky and different. Yes. Big kids that were like, I guess I got an old soul and you're like, oh. Yeah.

My friends and I used to make our own music videos, the songs like One Direction and Beyonce thinking that's somehow how we'd become discovered. someone would stumble across over the internet we'd be we'd be really famous somebody said I just think back to my teenage bedroom and how one day without mum's permission

I just painted over the wallpaper and I was just like I can't be stopped I did that when I was a goth the room was going to be renovated and my mum had painted it this blue colour and I was like this is not got gauph and so I got vivids and I drew all these like pender crabs

I'm just like, all over the walls and like Marilyn Manson. And I drew all these like witches and stuff. And I was like, God, no wonder she took you to therapy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she did. That was the year I had to go to therapy for the first time. What did she say when she saw the room? She was like, you're bloody lucky this is getting renovated.

Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. No. But she had to paint over it white. And it just ended up, yeah, it was really hard. Somebody messaged in saying my friends and I used. to go busking and like earnestly try our best

to sing in public and like we were so terrible you kind of see that sometimes when friends do that and I reckon they earn money because people are like I was down in Queenstown last weekend and there were two I'd say tweens maybe

who were really given their absolute best at defying gravity oh really oh that's a hard song and I caught them at the end of it and we did hit a but you can see on their little faces that they were given it everything that's good did you give them money

It says slay. It's dashing through the snow. How do you think people got around before, aren't cars? It's about Christmas. Giving lots of gifts. Nice, no gifts. From Santa Claus. No mention of gifts.

Apparently written in 1850 by a music director at a church in Savannah, Georgia. it was for the Thanksgiving It was a Thanksgiving song Before it was a Christmas song One Horse Open Slay was what it was originally called Because of the racing The One Horse Tiny Because of the One Horse Open Slay that it talks about

It's put away one horse And it's an open top sleigh When there were wagons When it was snowing the wagon wheels weren't as reliable So a horse would tow a sleigh You were telling me that people were allowed sleighs Other than Santa Correct

Yeah It was an actual, like, transportation option pre-car, pre-rail. Yeah. Well, it probably worked alongside rail. But people would have it because it was more reliable than the wheels and easier to tow in the snow when a horse was pulling it. There's a Kiwi version of Jingle Bells. I'll hear it.

I hate it. What is this? We ruin everything. Oh, the beach we go. I hate this. Get it. What is this on a kids show or something? Yeah, it's got big, it's got big kids show energy.

There's also jingle bells, Batman smells. Yeah, hit me with a bit of that one. Had me with a bit of that. I hope there's no swearing. I'm ready to pause. Okay. Well, it's done all jazzy too. Dashing through the snow on a pair of broken skis.

Over fields we go. Crashing into trees. Ow, ouch. Ow! Wait, we need the chorus. I woke up in the old bat cave with Batman standing by. Oh, jingle bells. Batman smells Robin laid an egg.

Are you? I right, yeah. Yeah, lost a wheel and Joker got away. Hey, good stuff. We had Wonder Woman lost her bosom on the motorway. Oh. Yeah. Okay.

Well, so it's not a Christmas song. It was traditionally a Thanksgiving day song and was more about racing and getting to church than it was about anything. The fun of going to church in the snow. But it was also the first song ever broadcast in space. In 1965, Tom Stafford and Willie Shira were in space at Christmas time. Yep.

I've got the audio of them playing the song, which I'll play you, but the audio of them talking to ground control is really hard to hear. So I'll just tell you, basically, they said mission control. We've seen an unidentified flying object. heading from north to south. It's a command. It looks like a command module and it looks like the pilot

may be wearing a red suit and they said we're just going to see if we can get an audio connection and then this happened. It was funny. Are you sure you've got a wiggly chord? It's probably a wiggily cord. It's not the wiggly cord because they played it.

It's just recording from 1965 from Space Fletch. Sorry, it's in mono. Did they not have stereo? It's only coming through that. You literally could hardly hear it. Did they not have Dolby, fine point? But it was, so they smuggled on board a harmonica and a small set of jingle bells,

which are now displayed in a national museum because they were the first things to believe to be also smuggled into space. And it was the first song broadcast from space. Right. And ground control called them children. Did they? They said, you are carrying on like a couple of children. Because it was 1965 and they were in space.

Yeah, right. Take it seriously. Today's fact of the day, jingle bells is not a Christmas song, and it was the first song ever broadcast from space in 1965. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do do, do, do do do to do, do to do.

The food she likes, the temperature she likes the car, the perfume of choice, the da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And I mean, this is great when it comes to a birthday, Valentine's, or Christmas because you're like Oh do I get her or him

That you always know It's good just to be like Oh, I know. He remembered my coffee order. But he didn't, though, because he wrote it down. Yeah, it's cute, though. We ran a quick... But he did.

That's... Stop doing that. He's trying. He's cheating. He's not cheating. He's not cheating. He's trying. It's not cheating. It's cute.

We ran a quick little poll actually asking, do you keep a note of all of your partner's favorite things? 88% said no. So it hasn't taken on yet. No, I recommend it. Georgia, you were saying that, Um, your husband, now husband, Hayne, he, you don't, he doesn't keep in notes or you don't keep a notes,

but he'll just send you things. Oh, it's so good. Well, because I'm just constantly meming him all day. And then, he'll just, he'll just, no replies, no likes, whatever, doesn't open them. But then he'll be like, oh, in case you're thinking for Christmas, this is what I want. Wait, is he one of these guys that doesn't reply to memes? Yeah, I know. And then I'll go.

What a simple react is all this required? But wait, we'll be in bed and I'm like, did you see everything I've seen you? you today and I have to go through it with him and watch with him because then I get a second giggle. Wait, it doesn't see, okay, no, okay. I would say the vast majority of the feedback, people are like, no, it's in here, it's in my head. Oh, there's not a way. I remember it.

There's no way you're remembering. You don't remember that stuff. No. Zoe said no, but whenever we are at a shop and he says he likes something, I'll just pause and take a quick picky of it. Yes, great idea. That's a great idea. ADHD, girly here. If I don't write it down, I'll never remember.

Yeah. I'm terrible lines. that like I'll start telling a story and the person's like I've you've said this you've said this especially when I was dating like nine different people in a week you know what I mean then you start a yarn that you thought was like a fun yarn and that person's like straight up we've been here and I'm like you told me a story wait I swear that was with someone else you know your faces are starting to blend or you were like oh after after dinner the other night you remember when we went to that he's like no that wasn't me we didn't have dinner last week

and I'm like oh my god neither sorry that was with mum actually What do you mean? And then he's like Ouch and you were like You really liked this last time Yeah And he's like Ah wrong person

Not that I'm not into that Maybe you literally said That's like your number one thing He's like not me The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Flashfallen and Haley Now boys

My boys My genuine friends You know that I share Almost every detail Of every part of my dating life Because it's been quite eventful This year Sometimes you'll wait like

little puppies waiting for their dinner, being like, we're hungry, what you got for us today? I don't know if, okay, I would say it quite like that. Tell us and I'll say, oh, my God. Well, sometimes you'll just tell us and I'll be like, well, I probably didn't need to know that. Yeah, but other times the story is so good, like, he saw demons in my room. And then you're happy again to hear the stories. And make sure you go to Haley's Comedy Show next year for that story, because that is a good story. Anyway, I'm not a quiet data.

I share it with the people. I share it with you, I share with all my friends, I share great details, every little bit of it. I guess until it's too much, I don't know, you need to start exercising privacy, even then. But that is not the trend. Quiet dating is the new trend, joining in on the other quiet things like quiet quitting, quiet divorcing. Quiet dating. Quiet, quiet in libraries. Yeah, yeah, yeah, quiet on the bus.

I hate how that's caught on. Yeah, quiet on the airplanes. Quiet that kid down, please. Why is it in the exit row? Quiet Dating is dating without... I would love to see a baby try to open an exit window in an emergency. After waiting for the crew instructions

because there could be fire outside. I feel super safe. People do miraculous things and, you know, testing times. Oh, like the baby will get super strength because it knows it needs to save everybody else on the room. It's its job. Correct. Or I love when they put an elderly person in the exit row and you're like, that old woman's arm would break off

if she opened that door window. So quiet dating... You should have to do a strength test. Just sit in the emergency row. Like one of those squeeze tests things. Yeah, you've got to grip a certain thing or lift something. Those things that they use like this. And they tell you how many KGs you're bloody squeezing.

How embarrassing would it be you overestimate your strength. You're like, I've got the exit row strength. And then I do this and you're like, I can't get the door. Quiet dating is dating without oversharing, keeping your love life mostly private from friends and social media. Now, producer girlies, we've all got plenty of girlfriends. Are you, would you call yourself, a quiet date? Or an overshare like me?

I feel like, I mean, I haven't, I don't know. Like, I'm obviously in a relationship and so is Shannon. I feel like Shannon and I. Not with each other just because Reddit went crazy. Over the producer girl who's saying they were dating. We probably would overshare with each other, but I think with other friends maybe not. Like a lot of my friends are in relationships,

but the ones that are single will maybe like inform me after it's been like three or four dates. Like I'm not getting a first date or a second date run down. Oh my God. I'll text from the toilet. Yeah, I know you will. objects from the bed, the toilet, anywhere. Oh my God, I just met this guy, I'm going to marry him, and then the next day, no. I did have a friend and she's like, I just want to let you know I'm in love. And I was like, love, we even, I didn't even know we were in lust with this guy.

So this is a real thing that's happening here. People are just like keeping it more private, whereas historically, women are the worst. I'd say women in particular. Do you think it comes from a place of, like, it's a little bit more, like, dating has got harder, I think, and it's maybe a little bit more embarrassing if you're like, I had a great first date. Oh, I never heard back from them. No, because I love that. I love to hear that.

But is that because you're new to this? Yeah. Yeah. You know? I'm not jaded yet. So a lot of people are saying it's about creating, it's about achieving self-validation and giving the relationship time to find its own kind of way

without bringing in these external opinions. Yeah, you don't want your friend saying he's a minger, but you love him. Oh my God. Are you saying he's a minger, a useless minger, and then you end up marrying him and spending the rest of your life together and you always remember your best friend said he was a minger. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, it is. It's about like hiding back, like holding back for a bit, privacy, not secrecy. What, do you want to say anything to Ed Vaughan? No, man, I'm all good. Thank you for checking in, though. Just leaning back with your feet up. God. A little bit cold here.
