Welcome to the show, Fletch Fawn
and Haley, it's two minutes past six
So I tell you what, dear listener,
make sure you're listening at 10 past 8.
Far out.
You know, that's a spot reserved
for big celebrity interviews.
Yeah, huge concert announcements.
Yep.
And Haley's hot break about her magnet rake,
her magnet rake, which...
Wow, our first review
of the magnet rake.
Far out.
Vaughn. Vaughn in particular.
You were going to love us.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Coming up on the show, the top six
Vaughn today.
Yeah. The top six injuries
that kids won't know anymore
because they're making
playgrounds too safe.
Well, actually, this one, fair call
because a kid touched a really hot
piece of playground equipment
and it burnt them.
That was just part and parcel
of the 19th.
It was just stainless steel slides.
Oh, man.
They caught.
Day, you can fry an egg on him.
Yeah.
So I've got the top six injuries of these bloody kids won't even know about.
Next on the show, though, you are somewhat of an unsung hero.
I don't want to go on about it, but I do want to go on about it.
And there just are not enough people witnessed this.
And there was a community page post about it.
And I feel like I'm stepping forward to take my fair share of the hum drum.
I'm ready to, hands ready to clap.
Get ready to applaud me next.
The Flet's morning, Haley, big pod.
We must give credit where credit's due.
Lovely Bev.
Just had a delicious biscuit.
Made us yo-yo's.
She did make yo-yo's and a little note.
What constitutes a yo-yo?
Well, I think it's shortbread.
Is it custard?
Is it custard powder?
No, and the shortbread and then, I think.
And then icing.
And then glued together with icing.
Delicious.
Far apart, Bev.
10 out 10.
I will say that some of those didn't make it from home to work.
Yeah, I was saying there weren't as many as when you first sent us a picture yesterday saying they've made biscuits.
Yeah.
That's okay.
So I'm driving at the weekend as...
Where are we driving?
I am wont to do.
Home.
I did some shopping.
Your favourite place to drive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's my favourite destination.
If I'm headed in there, I'm happy.
And I'm driving.
I see a carport over on the side of the road.
And my eye looks.
Because I've become, I've just decided I'm going to stop and ask people if they are okay.
Whenever I see a car on the side of the road.
You're a very helpful man.
Oh, my God, you're so annoying.
Get your nose out of people's business.
No, it's not even about that.
It's just about being offered help.
As someone that's been offered help this year,
I will pay it forward in this form.
Ask people if they're okay, do you need a hand?
Are you all right?
Is there anything I can do to help?
One day someone's going to jump you and do something to you.
Well, you know what?
Go out of here.
Shiv me.
Shiv me.
Shiv me, timber.
And you won't have a ranger anymore.
Oh, well.
I'm sure Ford have insurance to cover these sorts of them.
Yeah, it's going to say, it's not even his car, you know.
Yeah.
So I see a car pulled over
And as I look
Another car is pulling over
And so I drive past
And I'm like, I've got to go back
So rip a fat Ui
As this show does
Crank a hair right
Here on the show
We love ripping a fat Ui
Constantly
Oh Haley's ripped a fat Ui
Yeah
She doesn't think love is dead
No she thinks love's alive and well
It's what
It's simmering
It's a simmering life
Yeah
Okay
So check out after a week of no sleep
See how you're going with that
And what are we not sleeping this week
Are you not sleeping this week?
No, I don't sleep when you're dead.
So, I get, and then when I get back, I'm like, what's going on?
And I can see a man is in a mud bog with a sheep.
Oh, no.
Well, how do you end up in a mud bog with a sheep?
What's it good to do with him being on the side of the road?
The guy pulled over on the other guy that pulled over on the side of the road.
They're obviously doing something.
And another guy is getting across over the fence and he's got a big rope.
and I'm like I've got to get in on this
so over the fence I go as well
Is it his sheep?
No, it's the sheep in the QMew showgrounds.
Right.
They're just, they're owned by the showgrounds
which is a community situation
but it's in this mud bog that they make muddy
for the mud run thing that happens.
Right.
So he's in there and he's like up to his wasted mud
and the sheep's like stuff.
How did he get so boggy?
The closest I've seen to quick sand as an adult.
Is this like the quick mudder thing?
the tough muddough I did that once
it's like that but it's just like the local kids do it
but why is it way if the kids are doing it
why is it waste deep mud and it's so dry
and it was used months ago
it's just stays money
so he's in there the sheep's in there
the other guy's walking with the rope and I get there
and I'm like well we're just going to manpower this
or what that's my first that's my opening line
hot are we just going to manpower this or what
and then the guy was like now that there's three of us I think we can
So I just grabbed the sheep and I said
If we roll it when we get the leg
It'll be on its back
I won't be panicking, we'll just drag it out
I kind of
Immediately just came in and took control
I like when someone drags me out by my legs
And I'm on my back
On my back
And I don't know
I'll stop resisting
It's a muddy situation where you're ready
I'm like I give up
I get up panicking
I'm on my back
Do what you want
Roll me over and I'm away that
Drag me out of this ball
On my back
I'm not doing anything
Right
So three men as well
Just three men
Rolled
She's
And the sheep's like, and then the sheep just runs away.
And we see, Hayley, out in the bogs and the middle of the field tonight, you'll know why.
Roll me on my back and track.
She wants to be rolled over by three men.
Well, go you.
Man-powered.
By the way, the guy who the second guy that got there stopped to help the guy who was stuck.
He was up to his, like, waste in mind.
Yeah, right.
And he couldn't, like, pull and push himself out because he wasn't around, like, solid ground.
He was just on the sheep.
It was nuts.
Another do-go-to just keep driving.
Don't worry about it.
It's not your problem.
She could have died.
The man could have died.
The second man could have died.
We could have lost a good rope.
It was a good rope.
It was the sort of rope when you see a guy...
Ficky, yeah.
Twist it?
Yeah.
It's a sort of a rope when you see a guy pull it out of a car.
You're like, what are you doing with that rope?
You're crazy boy?
Why you bring that rope when you're getting rolled on the right?
I'll stop panicking.
Ken Ailey on her back and she'll stop panicking
and then you can hog tire with that bloody huge rope.
But it made the community.
There was a post on the community page.
That was the guy that was up to his...
waste and mud.
Or did you not get a photo home?
I didn't get the photo on them.
No credit.
Wait, so everyone thinks he
rescued the sheep.
He did rescue the sheep.
He was the original.
But you rescued him.
But we rescued the sheep.
You rescued him.
We rescued him.
Thus, rescuing the sheep.
Do you know who the top comment on that post is?
Who?
Jules top.
One of the top twins.
What did she say?
She didn't even know you were involved.
Because Anna said,
thanks to the two cars who stopped
to help Dave rescue a sheep
suck and mud to suffer.
Two cars.
I thought you said there were three.
No, he was the original car.
Yeah, and two more cars.
Wait, they're making out like he didn't need rescuing.
He didn't risk out there was too.
He was up to his neck and muck.
Jules Top said, hey Anna, because Anna posted it.
Yeah.
When we're on our tour, we made up the rescue name.
We called it International Sheep Rescue.
And if anyone of the sort of sheep in trouble, we'd call out International Sheep Rescue.
And that meant we'd pull over and get our hands on deck.
To date, we've saved nearly 100 sheep because we're keeping a tally.
Oh, see, now that's nice.
That's Jules Top.
National hero.
Jules and Linda.
Top twins, yeah.
Park of the sensational.
But they have no idea you were.
involved because they've got no
shout out to warn
well here it is right now
I claim that sheep
The Fletchborn and Haley
Big Pod
Well you have two young
teenagers
I do yeah
Are they still six-sevoning?
A little bit last week
August had
Her assembly
Don't want to go on a bit
It won in the award for the performing arts
Oh wow
August
I know
Look at me and see your future
That's what I'll say.
I don't want to.
His work to be done.
I've got to go.
I must leave right now to avert this.
I remember the day I won my first arts award.
And they said any time someone said six, seven, six seven, six seven, six seven.
They were still very much doing it.
Very much still alive and well.
Yeah, I was home at the weekend and yeah, my nieces were doing it as well.
They were just any chance to crowbar in like, oh, do we need some more spoons on the table?
How many do we need?
Six, seven.
No, we need seven
And then six, seven
I was like, oh my God
Did you tell them off?
Did you try to make it uncool?
No, I mean, I was trying
But I was trying to do it as well to make
But they just loved it
Oh yeah
What'd you get them for Christmas?
Cash.
Man, that rolls are.
What am I going to get them in Barbie doll?
They don't need that.
Cash rules.
If you're kidding, you get cash
Isn't that the best?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, dude.
How much did you give them?
Oh, great.
What do you mean?
How much cash did you give them?
Ten?
Bullshit, you son of a bitch
You better not have only given them
$10,000, it's not $19.85?
What is wrong with you?
You did it.
That's enough. No, 10 is enough.
No, you gave them $50.
I got $20 in the 90s.
Yeah, how many, two?
Two. And you only gave them $10.
No, you didn't. You gave them $50.
I gave them $50.
$50. $50. $0.50.
I gave them $50.
That's good. You'd be pretty stoked with that.
Well, the reason I bring up $6.7, oh, God,
I hate myself for even saying that,
is that in an Out Burger, an employee at
in and outburger
and mostly on the West Coast
in America.
Yeah.
It's not everywhere.
Sometimes they do a pop-up.
I think they did a pop-up here recently
in Aussie.
Yeah.
To keep the trademark alive and that's why they do those pop-ups.
Well, an employee has confirmed that they have skipped 67.
Because, you know, they give you a ticket
and they're like, just when your number's called, come up.
Yeah.
It goes straight from 66 to 68 because everybody was sick to
death of the number
6.7 coming up. Have you seen the videos of
order 67 in court? It's like, it starts
with they're like 65 and
it was like ooh. Oh God.
And he's like 66.
Ah!
And then we're like
6-7.
And it just goes,
like the whole restaurant erupts.
How long are we given this?
6-7?
It's too.
It's longer than I thought.
I think. Maybe post Christmas we'll come back.
Yeah, this is what we need.
Yeah. After the school, when school
goes back there'll be a new thing.
I think we should bring back one that
it was specific to my school and maybe my area was
lashed, which was the same as like
suck it.
Lashed? Lashed?
Yeah.
Oh, that never, that wasn't a thing at my school.
Yeah, no, that's what I think we can crank it.
We could start our own thing.
I think for it to tank off it's kind of got to be
kind of cool.
Okay, next proposal.
Neck Minut.
Let's really get behind Neck Minut.
Let's get behind Nick Minut.
The Z&M Podcast Network,
It is a silly little pole
Today for silly little pole
We asked you, have a silly little year
Let's go round the room
Have you had a great year
You know what?
Please you go first Haley I don't want to steal
No, no, no, we talked a little bit about this on Friday, this 4,000 weeks on Earth.
And I was like wishing the end of my way.
I was like wishing it all away.
And I was like, oh my God, that's one of my weeks.
And then I'm getting ready for some end of the year content doing some little dumps.
And I started working on my 2025, you know, a little Instagram friendly version of 2025.
Obviously leaving quite a lot of the shit out.
Oh, wait, is that on Cap Cut?
Yeah, and I was, yeah, I've removed the logo, don't worry.
But I was just like reflecting on so much.
joyful moments amongst the
Yes
The weeds you know
It's easy to get stuck on the bad ones
But I've sort of been going
This year's been crap
And then I was like it hasn't
It's actually had lots of really wonderful moments
The highs have been high but the lows have been low
Exactly
Hoping for a slightly more stable one 2026
Yeah
I mean I yeah compared to you guys
I've had a great year
Yeah great year
No but it's just been a great year
It's been a good year
And we're very lucky in this job
We get to do some amazing things
I get to laugh every morning with my pals.
Vaughan?
Well, like I said, the highs have been high
and the lows have been very low.
Yeah.
The low lows, the high highs.
So it's easy to focus on the lows
and I think it's human nature to focus on the lows,
but as you say, if you reflect on the highs,
you're like, could have been a lot worse.
I mean, we were in Bali a couple of months ago, guys.
Oh, take me.
Yeah.
Take me back.
Take back.
I'd have another bout of barley belly for sort of...
It actually set me straight.
You know what I mean?
It actually kind of put me.
be right.
Played me right out.
Was 2025 a great year for you?
53% of people said yes.
47% said no.
Why?
So that's pretty good that 53 said it's a great year.
Because generally as a country
we're pretty optimistic and happy,
aren't we?
I think, I mean, if you look around,
plenty to be grateful for here.
But then, I mean, yeah, it has been a tough year,
like financially.
Obviously.
Vicky, regular contributor to silly little poll.
and this is nice to see
been a great year
ran Hawks Bay Half Marathon
ran my first full marathon
and just got my mortgage approved last week
Oh amazing
That's great
It's great that you are looking at the mortgage
as a positive thing
rather than a rope rang your neck
Because Vicky
I hate to say it can become one
Yeah but Vick's I assume
is slightly smaller than Ales Vaughan
I'm just gonna assume it
If she's excited about it
Down there in Hawks Bay
CN says you missed the in between option
and I had the most amazing trip in my lifetime
through Central and South America.
Sea puppy.
Oh my God.
It's honestly one of the best parts of the world.
Never been.
It's so incredible.
What's your favorite?
What's your favorite?
What's your favorite bit?
What's your favorite bit?
No, what's your favorite thing about?
No, no, no, what's your favorite bit about being over there?
Beaches.
Beaches.
Really?
I would have picked that for it.
Wait, did you think I was going to say,
wait, did you think I was going to say brown skin.
Light, light, eyes.
Yeah.
Or being on the beach and there's brown skin.
skin, light eyes.
Even better.
And you'd see so much of that brown skin on the beach.
But on the beach, you can't touch.
And you can, with parmish.
With my eyeballs.
If you get my eyeballs, we touch and everything.
Baggies, bagsies, bagsies, touched it, baggies.
She's had an amazing trip.
Amazing trip, but my job finished when I was away and it was stressed
to find one when I got back.
However, I've got a new job now, so on balance.
Yep, it was a good year.
Oh, nice.
Good.
Laura says absolute shambles of a year.
Send help.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
No help here.
Well, it's much like a plane going down, Laura.
You've got to put your own gas mask on.
It's not a gas mask on.
Just gas yourself before the crash.
I mean, the plane's going down.
I guess his plane's going down.
Gas me.
Got to get my own mask on before I'll bothers.
Marie said, husband was made redundant.
Then ended up in hospital and 20 days later, my dad passed away.
2025 and suck my balls.
Yeah.
Good, good summary there.
And not wrong.
Not wrong.
Alana, probably the worst year of my life.
Lost 10 loved ones all a month apart
Oh shit
Oh my God
How have you got any loved ones
That's all of the loved ones
That's awful
My mental health is an all-time low
Yes
Christmas orphan
What's that Mr Fletcher
Did you call our names
I know
I know
Is it the ghost of the Christmas orphans
We're not dead
Oh we're not dead
More on that later in the week
I reckon
Oh do you
We'll be back later
Do you
Do you think, do you?
It was there a death certificate.
No one saw a body.
Brother.
Sister.
26 has got to be a better year, said Alana.
Yeah, I hope it is, Alana.
We can't hope.
It has to be.
I think it's just got to be statistically
because there won't be that many people left.
I'm going to make it so.
How about that?
What Katie says, within a year,
my husband and I got an offer we couldn't refuse,
we sold our house, all of our furniture,
She moved to Melbourne with our cat and dogs,
started new jobs, moved five times and bought our own place and furnished it.
Exhausting.
What a hell of a year.
That's a lot to squeeze into the end.
And offer they can't resist.
Like, do you think someone just knocked on their door and they're like,
I'll sleep with your wife for a million bucks?
Oh, I was thinking that just offer for the house.
What was that movie where that happened?
Yes.
He said, I'll sleep with your wife for a million bucks.
No price.
And then the husband turns to her and is like, huh.
And she's like, excuse you?
Yeah, but then she does it, right?
And then the husband can't get over it.
Oh, look, you keep going.
It's got Woody Harrelson in it.
He plays the husband.
Is it Woody Harrison?
Where man pays to sleep with wife.
Michael Douglas plays the old man.
Okay, it does give...
And decent proposal.
And decent proposal.
God, what a movie.
Started the year as an orchardist,
finishing the year as a cop, says Emma.
Oh!
Made it to my dream job.
25, 2025 was pretty good for me in that respect.
How exciting.
Whoop, whoop, lit them up.
You'll be getting all the bloody ping and MDMA.
drivers soon?
Yeah, so, yeah, drug testing today starts in
Wellington.
So if you had a big weekend on the pingers, you might want to take the train.
If you had a big weekend on the pingers,
tomorrow morning is going to be a rough morning.
But you want to take the train.
It'll make you happier, trust me.
Quit my dumb job, says Laura got accepted to study midwifery.
Welcome to gorgeous two-year-old Forever Foster Foster Child.
Amazing, it's nice.
Oh, my God, Laura.
A Forever Foster Child?
What a big year.
She's our own Irene from home and away.
She is.
Because Irene loved foster.
She did a feudant she.
Well, she had the house for it.
She did, yeah.
Oh, no, someone looking for a foster family.
Who are the half of us?
I didn't.
I didn't say anything.
He's our biggest Christmas wish.
The Christmas orphans are dead.
They are dead.
Allegedly.
Presume.
I'll see you in court for life slander.
Melanie said cancer-free and finally feel better and fit again.
Well done.
Wowzies.
Tash said, well, Anali restructure at work hasn't set the mood,
as well as myself having to join their personal recession train.
Two, too.
And finally, Philippa said,
been in a moonburn since January 1st.
My mum died in March, had ankle surgery in May,
got COVID in July, got the flu in September.
My dog of 13 years passed away just a couple of weeks ago.
Now I'm going to plaster cuss as my foot is still effed.
If you 2025, you're a stinker.
Yeah, that's horrible.
That's a crack.
of the year, isn't it?
It's horrible.
Here's the 2026.
Yeah, mum.
Back in March, that's wrong.
Always hold on to the fact that it probably couldn't get worse.
Probably.
Just a little asterisk there.
It does sometimes.
So, for silly little poll, we said was 2025 a great year for you and 53% of you said yes.
The ZN's Podcast Network.
Play ZM's FlashForn and Haley.
Now, there are a number of things that we are leaving behind in 2025.
And I am mostly on board with all of this.
Okay.
Is emotional bad?
baggage one of them?
Yeah.
I'm actually seeing my therapist this week working through 11-knats.
Sorry, how many bags am I allowed on this floor?
23KGs and one carry-on of emotional baggage.
The good thing about the emotional baggage is that it doesn't weigh anything apart from everything.
Yes.
It's an infinite weight.
Do you see Air New Zealand posts on their social media?
Like, this is how much carry-on bag you should have?
It's like, what are you doing here?
What are you?
Don't start jet-starring us.
Also, don't come at me.
Come at the person taking a backpack and a full-sized suitcase on board,
taking the piss.
That's me.
Don't do it.
I'm taking the piss.
Don't take the piss.
As I want to do.
Do you know I did hear?
Okay, do you know what I did hear?
Yeah.
What did you hear?
I don't know if I'm dobbing any of New Zealand here.
What did you hear?
My beloved airline of choice.
I was at a check-in recently,
and before my touring and stuff,
and someone asked,
oh, can I weigh my chicken, my carry-on just to see if it's under?
And I was like, nerd alert, suck-up.
Also, there's scales at the back.
Yeah, I know.
You can do this privately.
And the woman was like, sure.
And then she weighed it and she was like, oh, okay.
And it was like five or something.
And the woman said to the New Zealand person, like, oh, how much you allowed?
And the woman said seven, but, like, we'll allow up to ten.
So.
Oh, oh, okay.
That's like saying the speed limits 100, but we won't pull you over if you're doing 105.
30.
Oh.
No, you will.
As someone that got a speeding ticket this year, they will pull you over.
Yeah, they will pull you over that.
Anyway, just a little insight.
Oh, okay.
I just saw that post yesterday.
She can't speak for the country.
No, she can't.
No, she can't speak for the airline either.
She can't speak for the airline.
I'm a personal friend of Christopher Luxtons and he's got Inns at Air New Zealand's.
He doesn't work for it anymore.
Wow, I'm going to, I'll be sending him a text.
So, Chrissy.
Okay.
Anyway, so here are the things that are on the decline and that we're leaving behind in 25 when it comes to shopping.
Yep.
Men's skinny jeans.
And jiggings.
I thought, yeah, I thought we're done.
We knew skinny jeans were done.
Yeah, but there are, you still find so many fitness bras,
thumbing their quads into a pair of absolute men's jeggings.
Yeah.
Now, under 5% of a popular denim, men's denim range is skinny jeans now.
So they're just going like, we'll make them for the...
I just can't do too baggy, though.
I don't do too baggy.
It's too much.
No, you both of you have hit a good point.
A good enough bad.
Yes, a slim leg.
A slight bag, but not baggy.
But not full bag.
Yes.
No, no, no, we can't be doing it.
Been there, done that.
Charcoal and clay face masks are out.
Sales down 28% year on year.
They hate the mess in the wait time of, you know, those like clay ones that you paint on
and you wait for them to dry and crack.
I quite like those.
But charcoal's an absolute mess.
LED masks are in sheet masks and K Beauty up 525%.
Will you be doing another sheet mask after this year's?
Sheep mask fiasco?
My two and a half month, staff infection.
The answer would be no.
Okay.
The LED masks them into.
Okay, double beds are on the decline.
Like, we're not buying them anymore.
I've got a double bed in my house.
Who fits?
No, okay, some apartments can't fit any more than a double bed.
Yeah.
King beds are up, super, king beds are up 23%.
Super Kings up 39%.
Well, yeah, if you've got...
Double beds on the decline.
You've got big units in the bed.
You've got to have a big bed.
Yeah, big units in the bed.
A couple of big units.
Floating shouts are no longer fashionable.
I simply won't go into bed with a small unit.
You need a big one in there?
Okay, yeah.
What about a two-meter unit?
Yeah, big.
Yeah, okay.
Nice.
Big Russians.
What if this unit's got, um, dare I say?
Brown skin light eyes.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Um, we were, wouldn't I just say,
floating shouts are no longer fashionable.
I was about to install some.
I just forgot we were at work.
Wait, no.
I just forgot we were at work.
I just thought we were just hanging out.
Well, don't say the things that we would say.
I just forgot where we were, this is our job.
This is our job.
That's crazy.
That's just a...
There's a highlight of 2025.
Wait, because I was about to also get some floating shelves.
Yeah, I want some floating shelves.
Why, what's wrong with floating shells?
Once love for minimalism, now replaced by freestanding statement shelving.
You're big unit.
No, that's a bit of a kitchen.
Not that sort of big unit?
Because in the kitchen, I'm putting some.
You're same.
Okay, well, I'm not listening.
But freestanding units are an earthquake risk too.
Yeah.
You've got to bracket them to the wall.
We live in the shaky aisles.
Desktop computers are being abandoned.
You've both got one.
I don't have one.
Sales down 26%.
I love.
my death. It's an eye mag so it's not like a big
town. It's embarrassing. And finally
suave machines. I don't think that really made it. I've got one of those.
Do you? What a what machine?
A survey machine. So you know when you like
slow cook meat in water in a bag and then you would seal it
and you'd give it a sear afterwards. Yeah. Right.
It's like reverse searing air.
Okay. So you vacuum seal something and then you like submerge it in
water. Yeah. And then you clip this machine onto like a massive
stop pot.
And you said it at like 40 degrees
And it'll just keep that water at 40 degrees
Bringing the meat up
To like rear
And then you go sizzle, sizzle cooked
Yeah, no but I don't think
I just feel like jeans and shelves
And that kind of stuff
It feels relevant for this
A suave machine
I don't think we were particularly worried about
No
Play ZM's Flesh Forne and Haley
From the unmoderated comment section
This is the Top Six
Well
Children's Playgrounds
Back in the day man
And they were crazy.
We used to have one at Qithahi Primary,
and it was something like three stories tall,
and I remember the fundraising effort to build it,
and all the dads just came down and put in the Mahi
and built this monstrosity.
Out of wood, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, ours was wood with a metal slide.
Yeah.
These massive poles.
Yeah.
Well, playground's in the news because a kid got burnt on a playground,
and they're kind of petitioning for more shade.
Really full-on burns, too,
like a big blistery burn after touching,
a hot metal part of the playground
with no shade sale over it.
But this is just like playgrounds in the 80s and 90s.
Yeah, man.
I broke my left arm twice on a playground
and it made me cool and stronger.
All those stainless steel slides.
Yeah, stainless steel slides.
This thing that the kid burnt their hand on
was one of those, you jump in
and someone spins you around and around around around.
It surprises me, they're still in there,
but yeah, the metal tread plate on the bottom
was just sitting straight in the sun
and the kid crawled on,
little kid crawled off, put the hands on.
Yeah, right.
stinking hot.
Jeez.
But there's no exposed parts
for a kid to lose a finger in this spiny.
No.
That's a shame, eh?
Yeah.
Oh, back in the day,
we just used to lose fingers will and early.
Well, you fell off and you just landed on concrete or...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Skid your skin off.
Well, I like the top six injuries from playgrounds
in the 90s that won't happen anymore.
Number six on the list is not just burning
on the metal slide when you're going down on it,
but also sticking to it in that weird way
where you go...
Yeah.
On the thighs, on the thighs grow.
Oh, yeah.
And you've got to lean back on.
with the shorts but a bit of thigh hits
and it's that skin grip
yeah number five on the list of the top six
playground injuries from the 90s
are not gripping the fireman's pole right
and just falling three stories onto bark
sometimes they used to have a tight
children gather around
sometimes they used to have a tire at the bottom
so when you landed it was like soft
but it was like a steel belted radio
and then it was worn down and then there was little bits
of steel poking through yeah
full of bark yeah that was what we had
for cushioning a fall
Number four on the list of the top six injuries
From Playgrounds in the 90s
Again, we'll go back to the fireman's pole
But again, it's gripping the fire pole
But not doing it right
And then the same thing that happened on the slide
To your thighs now happens on the inside of your thighs
On a fireman's pole
Yeah, all to your balls
You squeak down it
And your skin's just been ripped on metal
That red burn, eh?
Do firemen even use firemen's poles these days?
I don't know that they do
I think they don't
I think they just run down the stairs
Don't they?
Yeah.
Or they're all just on the ground
level. I think that most fire stations would
now just be ground level.
Okay.
966, if you're a fireman and you've been in a pole.
Is there a pole in your station?
That's central Auckland
place we're used to live by. That's two stories.
That's two stories. Surely that would have a pole.
That's old. I think that's got a pole.
696. Let us know. No 696.
Do you have a dancing pole?
Yeah, do you have a strippers pole?
Any pole? Do you have a pole?
966. Do you do
pole vaulting? Do you do a strip of fitness?
Yeah, are you a pole vulture, 9-6-9-6?
Yes, okay, yeah, if you're a pole-voter as well.
Do you a poll-based hobby?
Do you take poles?
Like, ask people questions.
Are you a surveyist?
9-6-9-6.
Have you been to the South or North Pole?
Oh, please, let us know.
Anyway, carry on, Vaughn, please.
Number three on the list of the top six centuries
from playgrounds in the 90s,
falling out of the swing when it's at the top of its...
That's how I snap my arm.
So many broken arms from swings, eh?
Here's the nuts thing.
We had this massive frame
and the swing was an old tire
that had just been cut
with an angle grinder.
Of course.
Bless you say.
Hayfiff, this isn't?
It is, eh?
It's kicked in this weekend.
I don't even get hay fever and I've got hay fever.
I don't know.
Hard enough.
So much pollen.
Hard enough.
Have is a myth.
Swing at us and it was,
you'd get so high
and you jump out at the apex.
That's how I did it.
It was like,
watch me land on my left arm.
Yeah.
Which brings us nicely to number,
two on the list of the top six injuries from playgrounds
in the 90s. Ground shock.
Yeah. Have you had ground shock lately?
Or like loud, when you jumped off the tram
onto the... Yeah. I got ground shock
a few weeks ago. I jumped off something.
I hit the ground and I was like, no.
Yeah. Ouch, as an adult, it hurts so much more
than as a child.
Getting winded. Getting winded when you said,
that's the worst.
I'm never going to breathe again.
And number one on the list of the top six injuries
from playgrounds in the 1990s. He's accidentally wandering
into the path of the flying fox when there's an
a unit on it.
Oh, God.
You get knocked for six.
Or just losing all your fingers because you put your hand up to stop it.
That's the ASTM Podcast Network.
Okay, here's a debate online and I want to,
and maybe Gurley's you could get involved with this because,
I mean, someone's waiting for rings, you know what I mean?
And it's no one in this studio.
Yep.
There is a man who has sparked backlash online.
I'm waiting for rings.
Chatter rings.
Gerger rings.
Yeah.
Num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num.
Yeah.
Donuts included, because they're kind of a ring-shaped.
Yeah, well, they're a fat ring.
If you're smeggle and you're listening, no need to message in.
We know what your favourite ring is.
Just sex in my precious, we'll know who you are.
So he was planning.
Yeah, 96696, if you're smegel.
Okay.
Or gollum, whatever mood you're in today.
What's your favorite ring, Spingle?
So this guy has sparked to ban online.
He is preparing a preparerial on Christmas Day.
Yep.
Okay?
Cute, family around, that kind of stuff.
He's bought the engagement ring.
Like when the presents are being opened and stuff?
It's pricey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, God, okay.
And he said he will not be buying his girlfriend a present, a Christmas present
because the engagement ring counts as her gift.
And everyone online is like, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Christmas morning during present opening
In front of both the families
Is when he's going to be doing it
So he was like, that's the gift
I mean, it will be the most expensive gift
Under that tree
Producer Girlies
But do we not agree
That the proposal is not a gift
Sorry, we're just reading the text machine
And someone's coming with a good ring
option
Oh, okay, hold on any of the look here
This is 2025
No
Oh yeah, they're right, they're arrived
How do they work?
What's the idea?
It's got a thing at the end
And it kind of, okay, it can see.
Moving on.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yes.
Do you think that this is right,
that the engagement ring,
let's say it's thousands of dollars?
Yeah.
Counts as the Christmas present.
Look, I get where this person is coming from.
My thought is, if he's doing this as a, like, surprise,
is she not going to be like,
why is there not a single present under the tree for me?
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
So you've got to get a little gift as like a thrower offer.
Also, his reasoning was the ring is expensive and, quote,
getting engaged is definitely a gift.
It feels a little bit.
That's put me off.
I think you've got to get some little small token gift
that's under the tree that is like, you know,
meaningful to her and then also the engagement room.
My issue is less with the present side of it.
It's the pressure of doing it in front of the family
and ruining Christmas.
Like, of course you have to say yes.
And then you would be like, let's go to the hallway.
And I'm just going to tell you no.
But we have to pretend we're engaged.
Oh, God, I know.
So lots of people are saying,
calling the proposal a gift implies that he is granting her
the privilege of marrying her.
Wow.
And that's yuck.
And everyone's saying it's a bit red flaggy.
And they shouldn't be considered one.
But also it makes me think, like, is he just proposing
so that he doesn't have to pick her a gift?
Because you know what I mean?
I mean, that's an expensive out though, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, but if you couldn't think of anything
and you were like, oh, we're there anyways, may as well just propose.
Because otherwise, it's normally something that you just do at any time of year.
it doesn't normally
happen at Christmas.
You know what I mean?
It's not normally a gif.
You unengaged wenches,
what do you call you?
Spinsters.
Spinser, sat on the shelf or whatever.
Heathens?
Yeah, because we're over 25,
so I think we are spinsters.
Wait, did you just say your elf on a shelf?
You're left on the shelf.
Oh, left on the shelf.
I think you said your alf on the shelf.
I am elf on the shelf on my spare time.
Yeah, sometimes.
Are you lonely unengaged spinsters
with boyfriends, you know,
who are just treading water?
are you, would you be happy to be proposed to on Christmas Day and for your families?
No, no, no way.
Okay, good.
Just being proposed to in front of your family.
Oh my God, yeah.
It's a personal thing.
And are you expecting gifts from your partners this Christmas?
No.
Yes.
No, have you gone no gifts?
Well, we're not with each other on Christmas.
That made it something we're breaking up.
I'm more men physically.
Is he on a cruise ship doing his magic?
Yes, he's in Mexico.
Christmas cruise on Mexico.
It couldn't fly you to Mexico for a little Christmas patch up.
Oh, yeah, that'll be cute.
No.
No, we've only spent one Christmas
together before.
No, we don't do Christmas.
We do, like, I don't know, dinner.
Yeah, dinner and a birthday.
Carl Wind, does your partner know what he's getting you
for your Christmas, or are you involved in it?
Yeah, look, yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
She's been coy.
Sounds secret.
Someone messaged, and I was proposed her on Christmas Day,
and to be honest, I was in such a bubble of happiness and shock
that I didn't even notice even know other gifts,
but I didn't want any because I'm so obsessed with my ring.
I think if your partner knows you and nails the ring,
you shouldn't be looking for any other gifts.
That's greedy.
Yeah, but keep me.
like a nice nightie or something
Oh okay mum
What do you want for Mother's Day?
Just a nice nighty from farmers?

Taylor Swift documentary long awaited
All about the Making of the Eras Tour
You went bad blood, did you?
I went bad blood, yeah
It's a great song
It's a great song
So it's a four-part docu-series
Two, five, six?
Six, so two are out.
Two are out.
Two coming the week after, and then the week after that, the last two.
Producer Girlies, you had a cute platonic, because that is a friendship that's available, date together to watch this documentary.
First of, we went to see a male stripper at a bookstore, and then we went and watched the documentary.
Yeah, now, the male stripper was dressed as Santa.
I saw these photos.
Yeah, right.
No beard, though, because I was quite confused.
And a lot of people were.
Because I'm used to just seeing the Westfield Santa, you know, like, yeah, it was confusing.
was sexy center but no then we went and watched the documentary it was very good now what did you
think because disney paid a hundred million dollars for this yeah that's a lot of money they beat
out netflix universal they they won the rights yeah paid her a hundred million for this yeah
i think it was worth it i mean everyone was talking about it over the weekend and like it was
very clear it was a documentary taylor swift made about her it wasn't a documentary made by
Disney. It wasn't someone coming in and just
filming her. She was in control of all of it. Right. Yeah. It was so interesting to
see though. One in particular moment was
Florence and the Machine came to perform
their song, Florida. They decided six days before she came on stage to change
the set list, add in this new choreography, add everything in and just
showing the process of how they did that for one show only.
Yeah. It's pretty magical. I feel like the most viral
clip, which we've got a little sample of here, is the moment that she
realizes how much money this tour is made and she gives a lot she gives everyone a bit of a bonus
the tour has done really well thanks to all of our hard work there's cam we've traveled the world
like we set out to do we've dazzled the crowds but we've missed family too my full gratitude
doesn't come from a bank but here's all this just to see things
What?
Okay, how much money did she give him?
Well, so they've kind of broken this down.
We know she gave out $197 million in bonuses.
US?
US?
To her whole crew.
So that was everyone who washed every costume, every truck driver, every sound technician.
So the truck drivers, some of them did mention the truck drivers got $100,000 US dollars as a bonus.
Okay.
So the dancers that clip there with Camden.
talking. People have worked out
kind of based on the way he talks and the
timing of the blurring and based off
the numbers. At six figures?
Oh, $750,000
is the determined amount.
Each of them. What? And that's their bonus
just from the second leg of the tour.
The first league of the tour, they also got a bonus as well.
But imagine if she'd just charged less for
tickets. She did it
in Taylor's... Her tickets
were not as bad as some other concerts going at the moment.
I paid more for Lady Gaga
for not as good tickets. I just think we'd
just pay up the wazoo for tickets everywhere now.
Isn't that, that's so wild.
Yeah.
Imagine someone, you're just doing your job,
and they'll already be getting paid quite well, I imagine.
The dancers in particular,
and the tour organizers and whatnot,
and then suddenly she just drops nearly a million dollars on you.
Yeah, and I think it's really cool.
I mean, obviously, she was going to put that in a docker.
It makes her look very good.
I do think it's great, though.
I mean, if she just walked away with millions,
millions, million, million, millions of dollars just herself
and they were getting paid,
whatever they're getting paid.
And obviously she like hand wrote all these letters individually to everyone,
stamped them with a wax seal.
She also every stop donated quite a lot of money,
maybe like 100,000 I want to say,
to food shelters in the area that she stopped at.
Lots of them talked about it.
That's the only reason you know about Taylor's charity
when the actual charity talks about it.
But also like she made so much money off of this,
but they also put so much of their work and their lives into this show.
They will probably have injuries from just how often they were performed.
they've been away from families
it's cool that she can respect them enough to do that
I totally agree
I saw people in the comments of videos about the saying
that one time on Beyonce's tour
she just gave everyone a signed poster
Wow
So I mean look she probably gave them some money too
But it wasn't $750,000 was it
It's crazy because I remember I
took Hayley's keyboard to that show in Wellington
and I didn't get anything
Oh yeah well we like
And it was a really fruitful weekend for me
Yeah we were actually thinking
thousands of dollars and I had to take it for like probably two kilometers.
It was on wheels, yes, but like didn't get anything.
We were thinking, you know, like we are basically your dancers for this show.
So I'm really excited for a bonus day.
It just feels like a Ross problem.
Do you think the mics should cut out?
I think they have cut out.
I think it's a Ross.
Oh, the producer's mic's just cut out there.
I'll quickly sign one about calendars that we're giving away.
Okay.
For Carwin and Shannon, that'd be nice.
Should I do that?
Do you want me to just sign on your behalf?
Yeah, if you could just check my initials on that, that'd be great.

What's your joby?
Ours is a silly joby.
Maybe you've got a small serious one.
It's a fun job.
Well, this is a game What's Your Job where we ask three questions
and then try to get the listener's job.
If we do that, $100 cash.
But we often don't.
We have a terrible track record with this game.
We're so bad at it.
Terrible.
Do you feel like when we've
first started playing what's your joby
that we were better
maybe yes
and maybe we get an idea
in our head of what the person does and then we
don't think outside that
yeah that's a human condition actually
yeah
let's go to Lee good morning Lee
hi good morning
I'd say hey Lee
I would say Lee
I would say Lee has not
heard that before
Lee hardly at all
Hey.
Quickly, let's find out what she do for a living.
Okay, Lee, first question, are you part of a union?
Oh, God.
Jesus.
Huh?
Yes, I am.
Oh, good question.
Okay, so who's in unions?
Teachers, actors.
Nurses.
Pilates.
Pilates.
Pilots.
Secondary school teachers, primary school teachers.
Actors, actors.
Actors are.
Screenwriters?
No, that's a guild.
Is that a guild?
That's a guild, not a year.
What about, we could flush out whether or not she's a teacher
by asking if she's like at a reduced work capacity at the moment.
Oh yeah, what is your, yes, is Christmas?
Are you crawling to the bloody, bloody finish line?
Everybody's crawling.
Okay, what are you going to ask?
How are you going to word it?
Oh, because...
Are you wheeling in a TV at this point?
Yeah, is it sort of like, just knock yourself out,
don't hurt each other sort of situation.
because high school's all done.
Okay, you do that.
You frame it, you frame it.
Okay.
You shush, Lee.
People get lippy on, Jobby.
Do you?
I'm just listening to you lot, Rand.
Because nurses are busy than ever.
Because Christmas is a busy, busy time for nurses.
It's always busy.
Teachers, slowing down.
Are we working at a reduced capacity right now, Lee?
Yes, we are.
I guess she's a teacher.
She's a teacher for sure.
Should I just bring it home?
Do you work in the field of education?
No.
Oh, crap.
Shit.
Oh, no.
Oh, my gosh.
She's working to reduce capacity.
Hang on, Lee.
But also, you could be a nurse working in a place.
True.
I should have said it this time of year.
Christ, you ask the dumbest question sometimes.
Sorry, tensions flare, Lee
Tensions flare
But she's not a teacher
But she's in a union
Working at a reduced
Okay, well that's up to us now
We've got a guess
But you've asked your question
Okay
Now we need a guess don't we
Okay
She a nurse
Flight attendant
What do you think
George
George is miming something in the background
Freezing Works
Do you think the freezing works
Do you think the freezing works has a union
Yeah they do
They do yeah
They do, but that's a busy time in the year.
They're literally...
No, they're literally getting us out Christmas dinner, you ding-dong.
Oh, Georgia.
Meatworks are through the roof capacity right now.
Sorry about that, Lee.
Georgia doesn't know about me.
I imagine she does look at the meat works.
I'll buy you a coffee if she works for the meat works.
Okay.
Haley, we need a guess.
No, don't put this on me.
You know what?
I'd actually be happy to say, do you work at the meatworks?
So just when she says, no, we can all have a pile on Georgia.
Okay, great.
Okay.
Lee, do you work at the...
meat works?
Well, some people might call it that, but no, I don't.
Oh, what are you doing?
Georgia!
Come on, Georgia!
What are you thinking, Georgia?
You lost Lee, $100!
Yes, they're at reduced capacity right now!
Shut up.
What do you mean some people might call it there?
What do you do for a job?
I work in the operating rooms.
I'm an anaesthetic technician.
Oh!
How come you're in a reduced capacity right now?
Because all the bloody doctors go on to their beach houses and go to Europe skiing.
There's also a freeze on hiring.
Can I just say, Lee, my mum's actually going in for a surgery today, and she's going under, and she's quite nervous.
Any tips for nervous sleepers?
I think even if I was going under, I'd be nervous as well.
It's a scary environment.
We don't want to hear that.
Oh, my God, Lee, don't know.
No, but you've got to be the staff that you have are incredible, incredible people.
She's in your hands.
She's in your favorite drug to, like, such a high standard.
Lee, what's your favorite drug and why is it propofoil?
And Lee?
Come on.
Come on, Lee.
How old we?
I'm not hooking you up with any purpleful.
Please, Lee.
Lee, I just need to sleep for a week.
I'm going to say when I had my shoulder surgery this year, that was the best sleep all year.
Oh, it was amazing.
Lee, sorry?
Can we get Lee a calendar?
Lee, we'll hook you up with a flech morning, Haley.
Rock Quest, Bad Names, Calendar for 2020.
Put that in fairness.
Amazing.
Amazing.
I have to say, long-time listener, first-time caller.
Oh, there we go.
Thanks, Lee.
Now I feel bad that we couldn't guess your occupation, Lee.
But that's on Georgia.
Thank you for playing.
Good work, Georgie.
Let's go to Kate.
Next up for what's your job.
Good morning, Kate.
Hello, hell yet.
Really good, really good.
Do you have a swipe card for your work?
For your job.
Is that the actual first question?
Yes, exactly.
Leave it, Kate.
What do you make?
Yes, it is.
This turkey.
No, I don't.
Well, there you go.
I've ruled out offices.
I've ruled out anywhere with secure locations.
As part of your job, are you on the road?
No.
So she's stationary.
She's stationary.
She doesn't need a swipe card to get in.
Do teachers need swipe cards?
No.
They have old locks.
Jingly keys.
I think the school's changed since we were there, Haley.
The janitor still has weight of many keys.
The janitor's got his big ring thing.
It's just like they've got swipe cards.
It's like they've got smart cards.
Okay.
Okay, so doesn't need a swipe card, good lord.
Isn't like, because I was like courier, truck driver, Ambo,
taxi driver, Uber driver.
Do you work with children?
Kate.
Um, no, but sometimes.
They're around.
Yeah, they're around.
We've got nothing.
Could work in a plant store because sometimes parents bring kids in.
I think she's a therapist.
I think she's a therapist.
No, therapists would work with kids.
Oh, yeah.
And there'd need a swipe card to get into the office.
If you are, the therapist, Kate.
Because the previous caller Lee's hooking us up with some propapole.
I reckon you could have got us up with a few hours.
How much time?
Okay, what are we doing then?
Well, we've got to guess the occupation now.
No swipe card.
Not on the road.
Sometimes kids are around.
Far out.
That could literally be anything.
Shgardner.
She's a cook.
I was going to say a police officer, but then they have swinek.
cars to get into the station.
No, she's a cook.
She works at a restaurant.
Do you reckon they've got
jangly keys?
Is she a chef?
Yeah, I think she's a cook at a pub.
She's a chef.
She's a chef.
No, I'm not.
Are you not?
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
I'm a barber.
I work in a barbers shop.
Oh!
Yeah, and sometimes kids are around, I guess.
Yeah, okay.
These boys, I'll say
actually, Fletch is looking gruff as.
Are you sure you don't need a swipe car
to get into the shop?
The barbers?
Access your blades and
It's a normal key.
Just a normal key.
Okay.
I really thought that was going to be a life-changing question that one.
I'm sorry, Kate.
We'll hook you up with a Fletch morning, Haley, calendar for 2026.
Esther, we're going to finish with you.
Good morning, Esther.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Here we go.
Bubly, Esther.
Bubbly, Esther.
Okay, Esther.
First question, Haley.
Yeah, well, let's not go to Fletch for the first one.
Esther, do you wear, I'm going to go classic.
Okay.
Do you wear a uniform for your job?
No.
Okay.
Well, that's
She's got teachers, like,
teaches the little kids.
Young and bubbly, eh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, does something that is like
bettering the world.
Oh, God, that's nice.
Oh, okay, a bit of a clue there
and I'm going to ask you to shut your mouth this time.
Sorry, sorry.
That's okay.
We've had to go mics down on the callers before.
We were just been complimentary to her voice.
I know, but she was surprised by that
and that's led me somewhere, you know?
Okay, interesting.
Where do you think it's left?
Well, I just said she was better in the world.
She goes,
So she doesn't wear a uniform, but she's better in, she's not,
she doesn't think she's better in the world.
I don't know.
So she's a little bit.
Or she's humble, humble, I don't know.
She works for big, she works for Philip Morris cigarettes.
I don't think they wear uniforms.
No, they don't.
Do you work at pens and hedges?
And she's like, that's not exactly what I'd call better in the world.
Do you work at big tobacco?
No.
You're going to narrow down the industry.
I kind of want to ask if her work could be considered controversial.
Now someone has just pointed out
You guys have said teacher
Every single time
You can't be teachers
Not exactly
Come on Vaughan
But so many people are teachers
I know
I know
I know
Do you work with children Esther
No
No children
No uniform
She could literally be anything
Fletch
Your question
Admin
Finance
Do you work with food
No.
No.
Oh.
Oh.
That just sounds like she eats on a lunch break.
Yeah, we all work with food, don't we?
I reckon she's an admin.
Okay.
We need a guest locked in.
Do you think she's a reception?
No, I think it's a higher level.
It's like an administration.
Do you think so?
HR.
Yeah.
No, not HR.
Just like high level administration.
executive assistant to a human resource manager okay well that's being too specific i think executive
esther are you an executive assistant to an hr manager you guys are so close are you kidding me what
what do you do okay my special government title it's not actually government um is principal
assistant and office experience coordinator so vaughan was pretty much on
the money there.
Oh, not HR.
Wait, so we're not, that's why I said
don't go HR, well, that's
technically that's the last.
Could we give her $20?
It is reception.
It is, right.
You can give me the 100th you like.
Well, I don't know if we can do that.
I don't know if we can do that.
We'll give you a calendar.
Are you comfortable to say where you do
work?
You don't have time for this for.
Oh, we're not going to get to know
how you're at Easter better.
Do you want a calendar Easter?
No, I won't, I won't say where I work.
Sorry, I would if I could.

and it's because I renovated my house,
and the tradies,
they just like to drop the screws
and nails and everything.
Just dropping a nail or screwing,
not worrying about it.
It was becoming such a problem last year
that I did this massive,
sweep of the driveway and went around got like a whole like you know brush and shovel trays worth
of them with just my eyeballs right and i was like right that's that problem sorted it's a gravel
driveway so they can hide don't shame me yeah i've got a steel gravel driveway okay you know it's awful
yeah it is an awful driver but yeah it's gravel so they just get all like mixed up in it
and then i thought i'd done my best clearing it but i've had three flat tires this year alone right
A year after finishing the Blumen thing
And so, after my last one, I bought a magnet broom
And...
I didn't even know until you purchased one of these.
This was a thing.
No, I know.
But do you know who also didn't know that, Clint, from our afternoon?
Oh, really?
Yeah, and he's going to get one too.
Why does he have nails and such?
Well, they've been doing Reno projects and whatnot.
Well, why doesn't he borrow yours?
There's no need to purchase a whole...
They don't loan out my.
I don't trust him.
Oh, really?
Don't line out my magnet broom.
What, but you do, once you've used...
I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.
The problem was...
Which one is he?
You know, I don't know.
The problem was a magnet broom
is once you've used it.
You don't need it again.
No, no, no, no, no.
Because here's where the summer projects come in, Vaughn.
You can total off overseas, Hon,
and me and Vaughn is staying behind.
And I'm like, what could we do?
Because yesterday, I put it together.
I finally put it together.
It's been sat there for a while.
Put it together, and I was like,
I've got like five minutes.
And I just did a quick trawl.
Yeah.
And then I was like, it's not working.
This is so embarrassing.
It looks all cheap.
It's got budget wheels on it.
I was going to say in the video, the wheels didn't look too great.
It was budget.
But I suppose that they just needed to keep it just a little bit off the ground.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
It was kind of flimsy.
Look, it's slats of new wheels on that, bad boy.
I paid $80 for it.
$80.
Okay, so you're like, it's not working.
It's not quality.
Okay, yeah, right.
So, I mean, it's not working, whatever.
I, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, move further down.
and I just start to hear, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting.
Ting, ting, ting, ting.
And I put this up on my social media, but my God,
the amount of blim and nails this thing picked up
from a quick little five minute, like, it was,
and I'm talking huge, rusted nails.
Who is that message from?
Just my friend.
Look at these big, long rusty nails just popping up there.
If we're going into who's getting messages on the show from her,
you better bloody tread lightly there about.
Yeah, fair call.
Your mum's message me, the mum.
most this morning
look at that though
that's amazing that's cool and that
was just me quickly I wasn't even being
careful I reckon they be so what do

well where we go mate we go to I'll come to your house
and I'll do your driveway I don't have any
he's got concrete so he thinks
the concrete driveway the beach
I want to go to the beach
and wheel it along the sand
we can't go to West Auckland Beach just because of the
black sand is iron and it'll all just like
literally just be covered in iron
Yeah, you haven't thought about that.
I literally thought I was going to get rich out of this.
Tuckapuna, North Shore, or like travel.
I'm going down to the mouth.
I want to get a metal detector.
I've been saying it for years.
I've got one, a manual one.
No, you've got a magnet.
And the things might be deeper down.
No.
I think we're going to have fun.
Now I'm like, because I want to start walking more this summer, or this year or this
life.
Just drag it behind you.
Just drag it behind me.
Who knows what I'm going to pick up?
Yeah.
This is going to be, this is huge.
This is going to be really.

Well, metals aren't magnetic, though, are they?
No, no.
So, well, you're just going to get some staples and fishing hooks and aluminium cans or something.
Oh, you guys are really rained on my road?
They're not magnetic, are they?
No.
I'm not raining on your parade.
You're renovating, and all your screws can go into your tiles and carpet fletch.
And when you build your pub in the backyard, don't look at me for a magnet room.
No, I've not pooped the magnet room once.
I'm not giving it to Clinton, and I'm certainly not giving it to you.
I can't believe you wouldn't.
I can't believe you won't loan it to Clint just for a day.
I don't trust him.

The Z&M Podcast Network.
Gen Z, they are the biggest players in the AI dating game.
AI is set to take over dating in 2026.
We already know that like some dating apps, I think is it a hinge or whatever, have AI assistance.
You know, can help you with your pickup lines and whatnot.
Really?
And then, so what, you're just going to end up on dating apps,
chatting to people not actually using your words.
Like a player.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then meet up and be like,
nice tits.
Where's that beautiful, intelligent mind I was chatting with?
And you just have no chat compared to what you've been using on the app.
I know.
So Love Honey, which is an online retailer.
They've done a bit of a forecast based on the data they've received
on where we're going with AI and dating.
25% of Gen Z and 26% of millennials
have spoken to AI about sex.
Oh, okay.
Whether tips or ideas
or how do you do it
or advice or tricks or that.
I'm going to, woo-woo-woo.
People now turn to AI for advice more than humans,
51% using AI.
You're not going to get judged by AI, right?
Whereas if you ask your friend something,
they could be, you know,
they could be like, well, you, that's a stupid question.
When it comes to love and dating and sex,
the people we talk to the least are our partners.
Friends above that, AI above that.
That's interesting.
That's the people you should be talking to the most.
Yeah, because you've got to have communication.
I know.
I know, if Morgan was here, that would be the one thing.
It always comes down to communication.
AI increasingly being used as a sex therapist,
experts warning that could be risky and create harmful feedback loops.
Young men are the biggest users.
Okay.
30% of Gen Z men,
34% of millennial men
have also talked to AI about
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Bunker, weir-wee-or-e-er-e-er.
Bunker.
They predict in 20206
is going to be a major shift
in how people seek guidance,
validation and connection.
Also, there is a trend
where there's like some cafes
popping up or having nights
where if you're dating AI,
you are dating your AI personality.
I'm sorry, what?
Yours is called Al.
Mine's called Ouse.
I haven't given in to AI yet.
I'm not, I'll use it sometimes, but no.
So you can go and have like a date with your AI,
like bring your computer but like be in an environment
and they be talking about how it goes?
Do they institutionalise you afterwards or do they grab you at that point or what?
Yeah.
Because that's getting a bit much, isn't it?
I know.
People want to marry the AI, right?
So they call dating, like chatting, meeting,
going out on dates with humans,
they're calling it now
analog intimacy.
Which is just
human connection.
Yeah, but it's like
calling a cigarette
an analog vape.
Yeah, you know.
Vap, an analog cigarette.
Well, they reckon this is...
A vape is a digital sig.
Oh, yeah, and a cigarette is an analog vape.
An analog vape.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to pop out
for an analog vape? Absolutely.
So they say with these extremes,
now we're going to see a huge splier.
it because it's going to go so heavily into AI that people like ourselves are going to be like,
no, we're going to do simple meeting, inner park, basic dating, back to basics, do things like
speed dating, single nights, coffee dates and that kind of stuff.
That would be my biggest hope is that people get over it.
Yeah, or that are so scared by it or find it so impersonal that they do go the other way.
But then also people are embracing it so heavily that, yeah, you do read stories of people that
want to date their, you know, marry them.
Someone just texts in Digital Darry.
A digital diary.
Yeah, that's pretty good. If you will.
That's pretty good. Yeah.
Someone just texted if Vaughn needs a magnet for a summer project,
you know, you're not hooking them up.
Yeah, I'll have a magnet.
No, you're not hooking them up. I love magnets.
I've also loved magnets, and that's why I've got a magnet broom, and it's flawless.

This week, here at fact of the day is Christmas misconceptions.
Things you have been led to believe about Christmas.
I couldn't be further from the truth.
Oh, okay.
Today is that
the misconception is that some of Santa's reindeer are male.
No, Donna.
Donner.
Dona.
Dona is D-O-N-N-E-R.
Donna?
Like a donut cabab but with two ends.
What about Tiffany?
Tiffany that reindeer.
You know Donna and Tiffany and Cupid and Blitzen.
And Barbara and Susan.
And Margaret and...
Kathy.
Kathy.
Kathy.
That would be the best
They're like going through
They're like, hi, I'm Blitzen
Hi, I'm...
Cupid
I'm lightning or I'm the fast one
I'm Rudolph and it goes
I'm Kathy
I'm Kathy
What time are we knocking off tonight
You've had a bloody guts
All of this shit
He keeps dragging me back here
Every year
She's out at the back of Santa's workshop
Having a Darry
Yeah, all right
Kathy, wrap up your siglob
It's about time to deliver
The Presence of the kids
All right
One last
I'm getting too old for the shit
I'm too old for this.
Last Christmas, old man.
The wind gets in my neck hole in a bloody freezes me.
So the misconception of that Santa's reindeer are male.
Male reindeer shed their antlers in late autumn, well before Christmas.
And female reindeer keep their antlers through winter
so that they can dig through the snow for food.
So every reindeer shown with antlers.
Oh my God, that's so handy.
They have like a shovel on their head.
Yeah.
So go.
Very handy.
We need that.
Or it might be a cast.
Anastrated male.
Oh, okay.
What you would explain?
Kathy's deep voice.
We're going to need to see some pronouns for that reindeer.
Yep, that's so we can know.
True.
They, them.
So the antlers are driven by testosterone.
Once the mating season ends, the male's testosterone levels crash.
Right.
And so the antlers weaken at the base and fall off.
Usually...
Don't want to weaken at the base.
You don't want a weakening at the base.
Strong base.
Strong health.
So, okay.
By Christmas, males are exhausted.
They wouldn't have the energy to pull Santa Slater in the world on one night.
The antlers are gone and they're kind of done for the year.
Women.
Women in the workplace.
I don't think they either assumed the gender of the reindeer.
Well, they...
I thought it was a mixed bag.
You thought it was a mixed bag.
Yeah, well, Rudolph is a boy.
But now we learn Rudolph's nose lights up because he's at his neck is knocked off.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Okay.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Huh.
So the winter antlers for females.
to defend themselves and to dig through the snow
and they will then lose their antlers in spring
after giving birth.
And then do they grow back?
Dancer and Prancer I thought were homosexuals.
That felt.
Well, I mean statistically, there's got to be a couple of gay reindeer.
Dash is male, dance or prance are a male homosexuals.
Do you know I say the one's called dancer and prance?
I might be there.
If there was another one called Mincer, I would say he's probably the gay one.
Yeah.
Dasher and dancer and Mincer and Vickson.
Kathy and Daffee and Daffee and D.
I don't need to know about what you got up to on the weekend, Mincer.
Jesus, Christ.
I'm an old woman.
I don't need to know about you.
I don't mind.
Mincer and Prancer and dancer.
I'm okay with it.
Don't get me wrong.
But I don't need to know it.
I don't need to ram down my throat.
I don't get him down.
Now that I've said rammed down the throat.
What are you reckon of this?
Comet's just like, leave me out of this.
Let me out of this, man.
I'm here to do a job and I go home.
I don't need to socialize with my work, mate.
We don't need to be friends.

that would be a good thing for me.
Oh, weekends at home.
I knew you just had a weekend at home,
and how good was that for you?
I feel completely rejuvenated.
Yeah.
Like a month of hard, hard work feels reset.
And I was like, huh, there's something in this.
This rest thing.
This rest thing.
But I also, I mean, year after year,
I've failed at resolutions before.
I've hit them once before.
I did it quit smoking on New Year's Day,
years and years and years ago.
And you haven't smoked since?
Oh, well, we wouldn't say that, but I'm not a smoker.
You're not a, you're maybe a party day,
Oh, a party data, but yeah, I was smoking full on, so that was pretty good.
Well, whatever it is, maybe a chance for you to glow.
Already some messages coming in.
We want to celebrate you regardless.
Someone said my goal was to save $50,000 this year.
I've saved over 60.
Hey!
Can I have some?
Might I borrow it?
Okay, that's great.
Okay, 0800-Z-M is a number.
That's very well done.
Text in, 9-696.
What was your New Year's resolution?
Did you pass or fail?
will celebrate you either way.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Is this a show real?
Play ZM's Flash, Foran and Haley.
You let us know, what was your resolution
and how'd you go with it this year?
Abby, you completed, I believe,
your New Year's resolutions.
Yes, I did.
I did indeed.
This year was the year.
Yay! Okay, now what are we talking?
Do we have big resolutions?
Or was it just little things
like make sure the bins are out on recycling day?
No, I passed a bit.
We went big.
We wanted to buy our first house
for us and our kids.
Wow.
So we did that.
Wow.
Okay, so that's like knuckling down, getting the deposit.
Amazing.
Yep.
It's taken like, honestly, probably about like five or six years of like hard savings.
Yeah.
But finally we did it and we ended up building a house that we love.
Amazing.
And yeah.
And my other part was shaking off the haters was what I texted.
Who was?
Who was haters?
Wow, you know when you have like family members or like friends and they just kind of hang on
and they're that little bit negative and then when something positive happens for you,
they sort of, they really bring their ugly side to the top, you know?
Yeah, get them gone, get them on.
Those aren't the kind of friends you want around, eh?
You find you just curate friends and you get rid of those people.
Yeah.
Yep, and it's just a good chance to like snip, snip, you know, when they show their real ugly side.
Get that snap.
You want people that lift you up.
100% the ones that show up in like when you need someone or when you don't need when you don't think you need someone they show up anyway
Yes
I don't come and help with Haley's Hedges but I show up in different ways
So I brought the slushy machine round
Remember that?
You did bring the slashing machine around
I showed up that time didn't I?
Well you showed up consistently for two of your best mates having a mental breakdown all year
Yeah
Wait the way you said that you kind of put it in a past tense
I'm still mid mental breakdown
Oh really?
I cranked to you I'm cranked to youie
I'm driving.
Chris is on the horizon.
I'm planning on having a fest of Menti B.
Abby, thank you so much.
Can we give away a Fletch Vaughan and Haley Rockquest Band names calendar?
Do you want a calendar for the new home?
It'll look lovely.
Oh, sure.
Why not?
I'd love to have a bit of Fletch Fawn and Haley in my new house.
Yes, lovely.
I reckon behind the toilet door.
Yeah.
You bring the slashing machine.
I'll have the tequila and we can make some mark.
I love this.
I love this. Okay, Abby, wait there.
Let's go to.
Can I say, well, go back to Abby.
Can you?
Yeah, I can.
I can do whatever I want more.
Hey, Abby, do you do it in ranch water?
Have you heard of this drink?
A ranch water?
Is it like ranch sauce?
No, no, no.
Here's what you do.
Get a glass and chuck some ice in it.
Yeah, squeeze in a line.
I'll also do a lemon.
A little bit of lemon juice in the bottom.
We can't afford lines.
Tequila.
No, they're actually not too bad.
They're about to get expensive, though.
Then tequila, however much you want, that's the poorest choice.
And then top up the rest of the glass with soda water.
I do it with coconut tequila.
I'll tell you what it'll blow you.
Oh, yeah.
I'm trying to lift it.
Yeah, I'm just the planchew.
Come over to some ranch quarters, abbey.
Can't pick any time.
I'm not far, guys.
I'm just down in Cambridge.
Not too far from you.
Oh, I love that.
I'm coming down at the end of the week.
See Mara and Perth.
It's too far for me.
And then I'll just, I probably, I could stay out my sister's place.
She's in Cambridge.
Oh, can I might stay at Emmys.
Okay, Evie, thank you.
Oh, there's this room at Abbies will all stay at Abby.
McKenna, what was your New Year's resolution,
and did you,
or fail?
My resolution was to eat no hot chips at all the entire year.
You like your hot chips?
Man, I love hot chips.
How soon in did you eat hot chips?
I have not eaten any hot chips.
Oh my God!
Wow.
And they're Earth's delights.
There's 16 days left.
McKenna, do you miss them?
I do, but part of me is like, I've made it this far.
Yeah.
Are I going to give in, or am I going to go?
No, Kenna, you've just won a lifetime supply.
McKenna, if I gave you $100, would you eat some hot chips out of a punnet?
A hundred bucks, get real.
Nah.
No. No, not a $200.
No.
Three.
No.
We're getting close to $500.
$500,000, would you eat chips for $500?
$5,000.
No, we don't have $5,000.
$12 million.
Would you, okay.
Final offer, a million dollars.
I reckon $500.
you'd do it, McKenna?
I think $500, I'd probably do it.
No, McKinna, you have slaved all year and resisted temptation of a hot, hot chippee.
$500 is, $500, this time of year.
Yeah, come into the studio tomorrow, I'll get some hot chips.
Have we got $500?
Wait a minute, you were talking like it was your money.
I was playing with your money.
No, it's Ross's money.
Ross doesn't have any money left.
Market of the budget has been completely depleted.
Yeah, no, you're not wrong.
Actually, McKenna, we've kind of got no money there.
Are you going to do it again for 2026?
Well, I thought maybe 2026.
Maybe I'd add, like, no soda to the mix.
Oh, yeah, nice.
No sodies.
So I realize I'm just kind of eliminating, like, a whole Macca's combo meal up.
Yeah, you got the burgers.
Still got the burgers.
Yeah, hang on.
And the nuggets.
Yeah, hang on to those.
Thanks for Kenna.
Keep your text coming in, lots of those.
We get to those next 9-6-96.
How did you go with your New Year's resolutions?
Play Z-N's flesh, one and Haley.
Do we just make a New Year's resolution to do the Pinnacles?
I think we did it.
The Hike?
We're not doing the Pinnacles.
Haley, you love the Pinnacles
Should we stay up and the Pinnacles Hut?
Oh, I'm quite, I'm quite keen
I'm like get up, get down and go and live your life
You can. I'm a day hiker.
Yes, so.
Let's sleep up in the Pinnacles Hut.
But why when the walks like two hours?
Yeah, that's so busy.
Are you busy, Haley?
Yeah, I'm so busy.
This is my favourite message we've received so far
at your New Year's resolution.
My new year's resolution was to get fit and strong
and a run every day, all that shit.
I've gained 15 Kages.
I've never loved my new body more.
Curves are yum.
Wait, so they've gained 15 Kajers.
Because somebody else said my resolution was to get fit
and join the gym.
I've lost 20 KGs.
Oh, wow.
Walking the Tongarero track.
I think they mean Tongarero there.
The crossing.
Wrong.
Yeah.
On the 3rd of January.
Oh, yeah, nice.
I love that.
As long as you feel good in your own body, that's the thing.
My New Year's resolution was to make my husband lunch to take to work every day,
but that went out the window when he pissed me off two weeks into January.
You screw him, make your own bloody lunch.
Yeah.
Love that.
My husband has not had chocolate since December 31st last year.
It has a block of Whitaker's banana, a flake and an advent calendar all waiting for him on the 1st of January.
Wow.
Okay.
What a niche flavour choice.
I am 13.
No, but just any chocolate, I think.
Oh, yeah, no, but ready to go.
The banana one.
Did that come out this year?
Yeah, that was yum.
And so that's why he's like, I really want to try that.
Bank that up.
True.
My news resolution was dry 25.
No alcohol for a whole year.
I'm 11 months and 13 days in.
Holy.
Well done.
You should try that, Haley.
I'm very pleased for those that do, but...
Dry 25 minutes, sort of 25 days.
It's been a whole thing.
Not in a row.
I told myself, 300 gym sessions in 2025.
Turns out consistency, work, smash the goal,
and casually added a few half marathons along the way.
Yes, I love that.
It's a lifestyle, isn't it, Georgia?
It's a lifestyle.
Actually.
Yeah, it's a lifestyle.
I said it's going to go to the gym five times a week.
I somehow missed the last 200 sessions.
That's okay.
There's a real mix of these.
I love it.
I love it too.
My resolution was to read 20 books,
delete photos every day by date,
quit smoking and buy a house.
We bought a house,
but the stress made me smoke more.
Read one book and deleted photos
on the first and second of January.
It's got some of it done.
Yeah.
You know, that's actually pretty good
because who else has to pay extra
for their storage for their...
Me.
Yeah.
I pay for all the storages.
I think that should be an easy resolution actually.
I'm made a goal to do Pilates every day this year.
So far, I've only missed four days.
With three small kids,
I find this a huge achievable.
to be able to make any amount of time every day for myself.
Yeah, good on you.
Sometimes it's only a 10 minutes Pilates
and other times it's 40 but I've only missed four.
That's cool.
That's pretty cool.
Good on you.
Bravo.
I signed up for Pilates remember, so that's...
Yeah, you actually signed up for a lot of things.
You bought a skateboard and never learned.
No, that's coming.
Is it?
Is it?
Yeah, I've found someone to teach me.
Yeah, you also said that four months ago, but sure.
No, I found a teacher.
Tony Hawk?
No, not Tony Hawk.
He'd be a pretty good teacher.
Nah, he'd be unrealistic.
Tony Hawk's grandchild is also Kirk Cobain's grandchild.
I know, that's wild, eh?
Yeah.
That is the most...
Wait, how?
No, what?
Tony Hawke's son, married, Francis Bean.
And they have a baby together.
That's pretty cool.
Isn't that the most 90s thing ever in the world?
Are they doing anything cool, though?
Like, are they just hanging out?
Being in Kirk Cobain.
No, like the kids, are they?
Terrible news.
Kurt Cobain's got a giant hole in his head, Georgia.
I don't think he's doing it.
Oh, God.
Hard to operate with that in your head, Georgia.
Well, are the kids just nepo babies, or are they doing something fun?
Just nepo.
Do you know how to this where nepo baby?
It's an infant baby.
It's not done.
It barely can't even sit up.
Probably he's got a heavy head.
And it's already having your expectations of nepotism put on that now.
Being nepo is really hard.
I come from pioneer finance and my finance comes,
I still have to slog every day to give out loans.
So don't come at me about nepotism.
So I'm not writing Craig Sprow
From Pioneer Finances' Wings
Okay
Do you want to talk about it later?
Let's write that down
I said you were
To talk to the therapist about this stuff
I've worked for every dollar
Oh, another one in the bag
It's a Versace bag as well

You don't sound sincere there, but
