Fletch Fawn and Haley, it's two minutes past six. Guys, we're not doing meth, okay? People getting pulled over, getting caught doing meth.

No, Haley, you say we're not doing meth. While the three of us might not be doing meth, apparently an abundance of meth. Well, to our listeners, no, we're not doing it. Cut it out. Cut it out. You know, listen up, Methese. Hey, hey, guys, we've got a birthday boy amongst us. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Vornay. Thank you. 4-4. Yeah, it feels like you're panicking. There's been a lot of chat already this morning about, I'm old. Really interesting energy. I've got a weird sore elbow and it's a bit fluidy retentiony sore on the outside there. What's that?

It's what happens to old people. Yeah, it does it. It's got big old person joint problem. It does. Um, yeah. Nah, it's just a bit reflective. I wouldn't call it a former life crisis. Why?

What's... Semi breakdown? Has 43 to 44 been difficult? Why, what happened? There's a been challenging. What happened? What happened? I don't know.

I do. Anyway, look, today is a day of... Thanks of a spike, I just couldn't serve. What is it? You went out. I... Matt. We tried.

I'll be to serve it to you all day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. See if you spikes, say. See if I spike it. Now we're going to celebrate you a little bit later because we love you. It's a genuine friend. Not like that though.

No, no, not like that. No. Not like that, that. Circumstance. You know, I barely know what to do with it. I do apologize. It's a life of boisterizer, isn't it? No, if you know what you're doing.

You can never just sort of jump in in any moment. You're going to be prepared. Yes, you absolutely can. What are you talking about? Oh, spins back. Okay. I mean, Spinn's back, pull it back. I'm on board.

Forskin just can't be back. You two, calm down. The top six is on the way after starting it. Guys, calm down on the thing that I definitely started. After starting it. Top six things that happened to people when they were 44. Oh, okay, this is a real life. Real life.

Okay. Because I said to my mum, do you know you were 43 when September 11 happened and now I'm older than you? We've got at that stage. He's spiraling. Freaking everybody out in the family. The Fletchhorn and Haley, big pod. Yesterday, and we'll touch on this a little bit later in the show, long tea, stay tuned.

I had a colonoscopy, which meant that I was under the delicious. Mate, I didn't manage to get you any for your birthday. Propaphyl. Michael Jackson's favourite drug. I did ask the... Mother's milk. I asked the anethystist if he would, you know, skim some off for my friend, and it almost made him not give it to me.

Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he wasn't down for that. Right. But when I got home in the afternoon, I found it very hard to stay awake, but heavy. Yep. So I had the door open and I hopped into bed and tried to head off for a snows. When I noticed effing how those cicadas are loud.

Loud cicadas. Yeah. And I was like... Wait, crickets or cicators? No, cicadas yesterday. But during the day, it's cicators at night as crickets. Right, okay. Because you've had an issue with the crickets.

I've had an issue with the crickets. Cricket in the room. No, no, no. Cicadas sort of outside my door because I just wanted some fresh air. Email. Someone got an email. I got an email. What is it?

What is it? I got one at the same time. I got one at the same time. Well, actually. Well, we can't say it. We can't even say it. We're not saying. It's a secret email.

Do I need to open my work email? Do you, but don't say it. All over his emails. I'm all over those emails. This is a pretty big email. Yeah. It's going to say that. Pretty big email.

Stay tuned. I'll say stay tuned. I'm going to hit that with a big family. Stay tuned. Big fans stay tuned. In fact, if you're listening now, I just wouldn't stop all day. I'd actually text everybody you know. You've got to tune into Z-M.

We've already had a couple of big fast stay tunes. Because it's big announcement. Yeah. Because it's been a tough year. Just spike that. So you spike it. Can't set it. Set and spike.

Set and spike. Yeah. Just set that, but he didn't spike it. Okay. So cicadas, like famously quite loud. But I've noticed they're so loud. And then I was on the emails yesterday, you know, chucking together.

our preparations. And I saw an article saying, why are cicadas so loud at the moment? NZ. Herald didn't say that. Oh, it's giving big spin-off. No, no, it was NZ Herald themselves. My chosen news source. Now that's a KPI. Get one of those in.

Gosh, he's straight back into work on the KPI's. So as temperatures rise, activity increases in cicadas, meaning that noise typically peaks in February. It's February 20th, which is why they're so bloody loud at the moment. Do you know why they're so loud? Is it one of those? Are they banging? Really?

They're banging. It's not one of those years because you remember every 17 years. There's like this one group of cicadas that come out of the ground. Group X. Oh, come out of the ground. I'm sorry. Yeah, they go on the ground. They're going to the ground again.

Put you off the ground. Cicators. Sorry, cicadas emerged December to March, spend two to three years underground as nymphed. and then adults live only two weeks. Yeah, so imagine you live underground for three years. You've got two weeks to bang, man. You finally come out and you're just like, I'm coming!

Out! And then bang, bang, bang, and then like, eh. You got two weeks and you're dead. Okay, so brood X known as the Great Eastern Brood is the largest brood of 17 years cicadas and last emerged in the States in 2021. So I wonder if our one's a little out of whack. Right.

Because I've noticed it's not as many husks. Because there's those every now, every few years, the cicada husks are everywhere. Like their cocoons or something. Well, you know how they come out of the ground and then they latch themselves on a tree. And then they come out of their husks. The whole thing is yuck. They're yuck. I love them.

Do we need them? No, we don't. Oh, definitely do. What do we need them for? What are they doing? Can you imagine the sound of someone without them? Yeah, it would be like this. Just put on a little adela album or something.

It'd be lovely. No. It's nature. I want to hear wind rustling through. Through trees, I want to hear. Cicators, I want to hear. You still get some bird chirps? Do you know that, so cicadas, it can sometimes exceed 80 decibels

similar to power tools, concert and sporting events. Wow. You know when they're all together, it's just like, s. Yeah. Could be risky to your ears even. They're that loud. Right. But the reason that they're so loud right at the moment is that they be banging outside

my door while I'm trying to have a midday nap. Well, they've all emerged from the ground and they're getting busy. for two to three years as nymphs. They're disgusting. Get rid. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod. Well, we've had, you know, back in the day, Wasp, a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. It was kind of a social acronym.

You've had Yuppie that stood for a young urban professional. I remember 80s. I remember Yuppies. Kind of described young, ambitious city workers, big salaries, flashy lifestyles. Yeah. Sink came in in the 80s and 90s. That single income, no kids.

Okay. Then Dink rolled around and Dink. think is dual income no kids. Yep. We've had your nimbies. What's a NIMBY? Not in my backyard. So it's like a well-established. Racist?

Yeah, racist. A lot of the time is but racist. They don't want... No, it's more like people that don't want housing developments next to them. It's fine. I understand this needs to happen, but not in my backyard. Yeah, yeah.

But the Venn diagram of Nimbian racist, there's definitely a big overcross. A bit of a kiss. They kiss in the middle. Yeah, there's no kiss. It's a full patch. There's a lot of shared mouth. So what else have we, we've had Opes, which are old age pensioners and stuff, but there's some new ones. Okay, three new ones.

Henry. Wait, who gets to decide these? Is there some kind of panel? Social structure. The Wizard of Oz. Henry, can we guess them? Yep. Hot, envious, new, recruited young people.

No. Not even played. Heavily employed, not responsive. Racist young people. Heavily employed, non-racial. Yotting. Yotting. High earners not rich yet. Oh! So young professionals are strong salaries, but they face high housing costs, student

loans, childcare and lifestyle expenses. So they've got a lot of money coming in, but a lot of money going out. Doesn't that just sum up living at the moment? Yeah. Yeah. So then there's dink, dual income, no kids. That's been around for a little while. Couples of two salaries, no children, but more disposable income and flexibility. That was the gays for a while, eh?

They nailed it The pink dollar Yeah Yeah And then You know The adoption thing And you can

But you can be gay and have kids Now Yeah Whoa Whoa What What? Well it turned out

The heteros Have been doing a terrible Job of raising children For hundreds of decades There's some dreadful kids out there Oh yeah All raised by the straits And if you've got one

You're listening You know You know You know who was Giving birth to the gays Who? The straights There they were

So they were So they've started all of this. Two straights make a gay. Yeah, yeah. It's like maths. It's math. It's gay maths. Yeah.

And Alice is another new acronym. Okay. Alternative living, income. Income you've got rent. Income crushing eggheads. Yep. Asset limited, income constrained, employed. So it means people who are working but struggling to afford the basics.

None of these are great. No. Who will spend Alice? No one. That sucks. You don't want to be a... But I mean, it's the reality that the majority of people face.

Totally. You're earning above poverty level, but like just with the cost of living and how expensive life and living is, you fit into the hellas category. I just had a drink of water and it went down the wrong. She's got one of those Ovala bottles where you can sip or gulp, and you gulped, didn't you?

I gulped. And it was too much. You usually sip and you gulped. I think it's okay, though. Right. I can talk with it quickly. but it's going to be one of those things. That's a U-Sog.

U-Sog. Usog, usual sip or occasional gulp. Yeah, that's, I'm a U-Sog. You're a U-Sog. So anyway, you're probably fit into one of those. I hope it's the Henry's and the dinks, but anyway, it's probably not... One of my, I'm a sink.

You're a sink. You're a sink. You're a mink. Massive income, no kids. Uncle Struge over here. Just as I won't give you any money. This guy and cost of living crisis, he's thinking about doing renovation. Yeah.

What a fool. I would never. Take it from us. It won't end up to a rid of it. It won't end well. Well, there's nothing to lose more. The ZDM Podcast Network. Oh, taxi.

That was so lucky. Taxi. Which has just sort of his lid back on as a water bottle. We've just been talking about how we need to drink more water. A couple of headaches in Stria. My old boys, eh? My old boys. Mine's purely self-inflicted.

Don't. No, elbows. You know, Warren's worried about turning 44 today. And you just put the lid back on your Yeti. And then you knocked it straight onto the console. On to the dead had it been on probably. Oh my God, that would have been the end of the show. We would have been off here.

Well, we could have gone home. What a birthday gift. Yeah. Oh, damn it. No, I'm happy to be here genuinely. Now, this is huge news. Now, before I, you know, you get too excited, this is not announced in New Zealand yet.

As most things exciting to happen overseas. Yeah. But after its 2021 departure from physical storefronts, so there's quite a while ago, top shop and top man are back in the UK. 32, you know, high street stores coming back across the UK. Are they putting the brand into other stores? John Lewis Department's stores. So it's kind of like it's going into a, you know, whatever our equivalent is.

It'll probably like a Westfields. Right, okay, or like going into like a department sort of like farmers or something. Yeah, so they did a whole lot of trials last year to see like, do people still care about Topshop? Because you can still buy Top Shop on ASOS. I've bought a couple of Top Shop things over the last year. I just, I googled what happened to Top Shop and ASOS bought them out. Oh, that's why you can get it on ASA. They, yeah, they closed to physical stores in 2021 and 2021.

It's parent company entered administration driven by failure to adapt to online shopping, declining brand relevance and high operational costs. And they were just like, and ASOS bought them in 2021. They moved to an online only model. Yeah. Because that was part of the problem is that they didn't move online enough. But also, when they opened in Auckland,

everyone was so excited. I know. Shannon was saying that you said she flew, but she got the theory. Well, I think a lot of people would have flown up because we had one in Auckland. Yeah, it was such a big deal. Like we, I was out in East Auckland.

the greatest played in Auckland, obviously. And we had to take... Auckland's least charismatic. Cardinal direction. Whoa. It is. We're being honest here. Oh, we are.

Like two buses to take a ferry and then we ferried over it and we spent... We don't call them that anymore. No, you can't call people furies. Just, yeah. Oh, I genuinely... I think they prefer puffs. I think so, yeah.

You get caught a public puff. He's 44 and he wants to be cancelled on his birthday. No, I'm making my move to right-wing radio. Oh, okay. I've decided. with you. No, I'm not going to. I'm far too liberal. No, I know. Yeah. So, yeah, you made like a whole journey, but when you got there, what did you buy?

Absolutely nothing. It was so expensive. I remember, like, dresses were like over $100. And this was obviously when I was a teenager. Did we go to Top Shop? Well, it used to be in another store in Auckland for a few years, and you'd on the shore somewhere. I forget the name of that store. And then when it opened, yeah, and I remember the lines that everyone was so excited. But then you went in and you were like, What?

The department store? Yes, that was what it was called. And it was on that back road in Tuckapuna. But yeah, when they opened in New Zealand, it was so expensive. And everyone was like, no, that's not what Top Shop is about. But I'm so excited because it was the British YouTube influence. It was the Zoella era. And we were like, oh, my goodness, we're going to be like Zoella.

And then we can follow it. She was one of the, oh, gosh. Zoe Sugg? He's 44. He's 44, hon. She was one of the biggest, like, influencers, OG on YouTube. and she was a fashion creator that we all loved. And still love.

I feel like it's going to be short-lived. Not short-lived, but I don't think it's going to make its way back to a street, you know, a store in New Zealand or anything like that. That's the thing that had like declining brand relevance. Like they weren't keeping up with the fashion. He didn't up with the trends and stuff. I remember going to the UK as a teenager and going in there and be like, hermigern, because it was so kind of, I don't know, it was a bit edgy, I guess.

We don't say that word here. It was perimeter. She was on the castes. Oh, my God, look at that girl. She's so perimitary. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. From the Fletchforn and Haley group chat, this is the Top Six.

Oh, I just had a thought. Yes, darling. It's my Friday flashback, and I want a flashback to the year 1982. The year you were born. Because that's the year I was born. Well, today's topsox is dealing with the age of 44. Yep. I am 44 today.

And it got me thinking about what other people have done at the age of 44. So I did some Googling. And this is what I came up. How old was Watts's his face when he landed on the moon? Neil Armstrong. How old was Neil Armstrong? He is a very intelligent man. He landed on the moon.

He died, he's punched a few people. He punched a few. Yeah, dude, that was 38 when he landed on the moon. 308? I'm not there yet. There's still time. But isn't that insane? Isn't that insane to think that like your age and then in two years,

there was a dude your age landing on the moon? That's nuts. For me, it's when sex offenders are younger than me. What? That always makes me feel old when they're like, oh, and this prolific sex offender's 34, I'm like, dude, come on. Yeah, no, you're right. I mean, it's not acceptable at any age.

No. But like how old was Prince Andrew during all that Epstein stuff? Oh yeah. Arrested. I know. Arrested today. Happy birthday me. Although not for any of that stuff, which is why.

Oh, Steve Irwin died at 44. Oh, no, it's not negative, but that was a man that was living life. Yeah. You know, and now you can see it passed on to his kids. I bloody love Stingrays. I know they got a bad rap since his death. What do you mean we missed? Forne, you said, what was the charge?

Oh. And we didn't say, eating a media. A delicious. A succulent Chinese meal. Sorry, as you were. I was spending some time with someone recently, and she'd never seen that hard launch. She'd never seen the succulent Chinese meal.

I made the reference. What is the chance to enjoy enjoying a succulent Chinese meal? And she laughed, and she said, why. That's the man right there who touched me on the penis. I see you know your judo well. These were all new. So, of course, we had to watch it. Yeah, it's a greatest club in the world.

He recently passed. Last year was another year before. Now, that's a man. that lived life, a raging alcoholic, ruddy. Fraudster, fraudster, and lived into his 80s. I hope I don't. And it was pink rat, was it prostate cancer that got him?

I had an associate once who was once in the boudoir with a lady friend. And she ate some fried chicken during. Spicer? During, pardon me? I'm thinking of a different story.

And she had potato and gravy rested between the old girls. Oh my God, that's... KFC doesn't want to be associated with us. She would dip the chair and eat it during. And he told us like it was sexy And we were like, sounds, sounds rank, man Sounds gross, dude

Chloe said, I did cream once, but the sound of the can of it. attracted my cat into the room, so never again. And then your cat gets up, but then your cat's at the door going. Yeah.

Meow. Um, Caleb said half-time oranges. Yeah, I'm getting at pre-slast in your systemer. Yeah. It's all go and then... Oh, half-time! Gung-g-gum. I'm going to load up on those vitamin Cs.

Yeah, like get some Greek yogurt on there. Yeah. God, Greek yogurt's having a comeback, eh? Yeah, it is. Greek yogurt. Up and down. Last year I reckon Greek yogurt entered my culinary world like nothing else. Bad year for chocolate yogurt, makers.

Terrible year for chocolate. Yeah, the union year is really upset. Terrible year. I just can't wait for the Romans to take over from the Greeks and the yogurt thing. Yeah. It's a historical joke. You didn't get that one. Of course.

Like he didn't get the ice one. Roughly at the same time, Egyptian yoga. was having a moment. Right. Stop being funny now. Yeah. I'm looking forward to the yogurt middle ages. And the rise of the Anglo yoga.

And we've gone. At the meantime, though, we ask you, let's not forget the Ottoman Empire Yogurt is really there. Today's silly little poll, we asked you, do you like food in the bedroom for sexy times? 10% of you are down. Play, that ends, Flesh, Dawn and Haley. Have you guys ever had to dress corporate?

God, no. Oh, for like the occasional gig. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they always really, like, highlighted if I've ever had to emce something. They were like highlight. Attire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. That's because you'll turn up in crocs or shorts. Well, this last thing I did was labelled black tie events. So I, you know, ironed a shirt and stuff and wore a tie and got there and everyone was just like in farmer's outfits. I was just like, like farmers as in people who farm. Oh, I thought you meant farmer's red dot. Not farmer's red dot.

Oh, right. I've never had to, oh, I worked for my dad a little bit, but he kind of hid me out the back. Do you know what I mean? So you were the quasi-modo of the finance company, wasn't that sneaker in at the back. But you were also the NEPO hires, so there were no rules for you. Yeah, no, no rules applied to me. Or tax paid. Yeah, nah. Come and get me, though, this was years ago. Just $20 out of the cash, kitty. Kitty, no, what was it, petty cash?

The petty cash. And then my dad would be like, bloody hell. And he'd run an IOU and give it to J.K., the receptionist and be like, JK, can you give Hales? bucks, please. How much we've got a petty cash? Now he's involving JK. Yeah, Jocelyn. Yeah, yeah.

He's involved in this fraudulent activity. Jocelyn's part of this nepo fraud. There she is. For years, on years, on years. But it was 20 years ago. You try and get that money, I-R-D. I think they probably could. Do you reckon?

I wouldn't tempt them. I wouldn't taunt them like that. No. I don't taunt the I-R-D. I respect the I-R-D. You know I pay my taxes. I'm not like that little kid that's poking their tongue out at the gorillas behind the glass. Or that's going to reach and grab me and pull me into the cage.

I'll screw this up. Anyway, the reason I'm talking about corporate attire is because there's a new fashion trend. I don't know how much of a trend this is. I would say almost, I can see this most happening with producer Shannon. Okay. Our girlies don't have to wear corporate attire, but they do present themselves well, our girly. Cowan, would you call what you guys wear corporate attire? I feel like it's the girly pop corporate attire.

Young corporate, yeah, yeah. Like you make more effort than those in the studio. Yeah, we don't have any creases out, you know? Yeah, yeah, creases are not out. Yeah. But Shannon, I think you'd like this the most. It's called, it's like Hobbit corporate. Yeah, Hobbit chic.

Yeah, I'm good. So it's a pair of nice sort of tweed brown slacks, maybe a brown sort of shawl. We know Shannon likes a shawl. And, of course, and you end up kind of looking a little bit. Corporate Hobbit. It's giving big Chloe Swarbrick. It is.

Yeah, kind of. I don't know that she'd, you know, like this, we've got some sort of draping and loose pants kind of corset vibes, and you end up looking like, you know. She looks like she's after the rent fare. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the vibe. Shannon, I could, because you famously crochet yourself, your shawls. Yes.

You could get into this, corporate hobbit. I'm here for this. I think it's a fun way to be a bit more comfortable in corporate clothes. For girls, you have to wear. Because hobbit is just sort of shaggy shawls and whatnot. Good for a boat. Yeah, great for a bloat I just, yeah, it's a bit

I thought you said bloke the first time Great for a bloke And I know many blokes I wear shawls I think a bloke could wear a shawl And a corset to work and get away with that But maybe ease if you've been wearing Like a blue pinstripe shirt and tie Ease into it

Ease into it, don't just go full into a shawl And a Cawbit, Hobbit corporate The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley If there was someone I didn't want to be today It's Channel 9 sports reporter Danica Mason. Now, if you haven't seen this video yet online, it's, I think, the best thing to come out of the Winter Olympics,

even better than the guy that admitted to cheating. Yeah. This was her on a... So it was obviously late at night in Italy. Yeah. But early morning in Australia. Yeah. When she had to do her job...

In a live cross to Australian televisions. I'm not sure about the Aquinas. Where are we going with that one? But anyway... the fact that we've got so many athletes who are willing to compete as well after her as well. She is just one of those athletes

that you keep in their mind and you just look at them and go, what an inspiration. There is me to a tea when I've had too much to drink. And the morning presenters, they obviously know she's pissed. Yeah. Do you think because a little behind the scenes of live TV,

often you'll be connected and you'll be talking to them in your ear beforehand going, hey, you know, we're a couple of minutes away. I would have been like, don't get her on. But like she's there because it's the Olympics. This is her job. Because there's, oh, these athletes were so lucky. That's the short version too, because she's waffling for a bit

and when she gets onto iguanas, and then she's like, I don't know where I was going with that. And you can just hear, can just play the start again. You can just hear that, that, you can just, mm-mm. I'm not sure about the aquinas. me sure of the aquinas. Oh, good. So obviously, I'm surprised she even got on here the next day to wish you an apology.

Just to apologize, I also wanted to say thank you for everyone who has reached out. I'm okay, probably just a little bit embarrassed. Look, I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink. And especially in these conditions, it's cold. we've got altitude and not having had dinner probably didn't help as well. There it is.

I want to take full responsibility. There it is. It's not the standard that I set for myself. Every person that's ever told their partner can you have something to eat? Knows exactly the situation. Haley is when we go out I make sure that we eat.

If a night for me goes too far the number one ingredient is not having dinner. Because then you're just off. It's what I said it in your stomach. And you do try to I don't know. I was going that way. What is it?

Oh, darling. It's so good. It's so good. Okay. So, okay. This is what we want this morning. When did you use the excuse? I had no dinner and a couple of drinks.

Look, I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink. And not having had dinner probably didn't help as well. So when was that? Your excuse. Yes. That is what we want to know. When maybe something got a bit out of hand?

A night out? I was like, why, how did you end up getting so? I didn't have any dinner. Look, I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink and not having had dinner, probably didn't help as well. I want to hear her say the iguanas line again. Yeah, that's my favourite thing.

I'm not sure about the aquinas. I'm not sure about it. I love this so much. Yeah, guine. Okay, text through 9-696. You can give us a call as well. O-800, Diles it in. When was no dinner and a few drinks, your excuse.

What happened when you didn't eat food and then had a couple of drinks? A couple of drinks. Because an Australian news reporter has had to issue an apology after she was drunk at the Winter Olympics. I'm not sure about the Aquinas. Where are we going with that one? But anyway, the fact that we... That's also not a drink. No.

Where are we going with that one? She didn't come out with an apology. Look, I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink and not having had a desert. and I probably didn't help as well. A drink. I also love the longer apology. She was like, you know, the altitude.

Yeah. It was cold. Oh, that's been me on a Sunday morning every now and then. Yeah, so what happened when you didn't eat food and you had a couple of drinks? I love no dinner, a couple too many rosé, sent a voice memo to my boss telling her she's a cool older sister. She's three years older than me. Oh, I know. Three years older than me.

I had to play a cool all week. Cool older sister. My God. Like a cool older sister. My two friends and I decided to go to Wahaka, darling. Darling, for the Wann. Telling for the Wahan.

Not only the Wahann, darling. The Oysters. Darling. Turns out there was a gig on. We went and had a great time. Unfortunately, we all lost each other. Only two of us made it back to Auckland. Got that ferry, any time that ferry, you're on that ferry

coming back from Wahakey post 5pm. It's fair. If it's hen's party season. Yeah. It's a feral situation. Went to the gym, had no dinner. Then after the gym, had a couple of vodka crannies. Where's a cranny granny?

Where's a cranny grannies? A couple of vodka crannies. Great news, no UTI, bad news, got driven home, stopped through the gas station, spewed pink vomit all over the four. Yeah, that'll do it. Okay, keep your text coming in. 9-6-96-0-800 dials at end. What happened when you didn't have dinner and you had a couple of drinks?

Right now, though, we want to know what happened when you didn't eat dinner, but you had a couple of drinks. It's not those big, massive drunken, you know, got carried away. It's like, it's that little, should have put a bit of lining in your stomach. When you wake up the next day, you're like, oh, that's it, I didn't eat. Yeah, yeah, what? I feel so, oh, no dinner. A news reporter has had to apologise after a drunken, slurry live cross.

And I tell you, not the only one. I went out after work on a Friday night and there was chippies on the table, but I was like, I don't want chippies, I'll have dinner later, but the dinner never happened. The dinner never happened. I know that's the thing. You always think I'll have dinner later, but then, It's too late. And then it doesn't happen.

The dinner's got to happen first. Yeah. Katie, what happened? I didn't finish my story. Oh, I was sorry, I thought that was it. No, no, no, no, no. I called my husband to pick me up afterwards.

He drives a work vehicle. Halfway home, I started feeling unwell. I said, pull over. He said, I can't. And he said, don't you get spew anywhere. So I had to, like, hold up my shirt and sick it to me. Luckily, didn't get anything. We've all spewed into a handbag, but not my own shirt.

Katie, when did you have a couple of drinks when you should have had some food? Yeah. Hi. Yeah, this was a few years ago when it coincided with the Rugby World Cup being in New Zealand. Oh, yeah. And so our entire sports team was in Wellington. And we decided to go out during the tournament to celebrate New Zealand's win. And so we did not have dinner prior to. And the whole team was out enjoying the evening, having some drinks,

and ended up having maybe too many drinks. and we missed our curfew and came home late, still had to play in the finals the next day. So we had to apologise to the coaching staff for missing curfew. We all got a fine for it. Can I ask, Katie, did the apology go like this? Look, I totally misjudged a situation. I shouldn't have had a drink and not having had dinner probably didn't help as well. Did you do that one?

And probably a little bit of the iguanas and to the party as well. But we still had to play the final game. Did you win? No, not even close. But it was the longest game ever when you still have a few drinks in your system. Yeah. And I'm pretty sure we were all moving at the same speed as the announcer was talking. Yeah.

That's so good. That's rough, mate. Katie, thank you, Nicola. When did you go out and miss dinner when you had a couple of drinks? Just recently, actually, before Christmas. It's fresh. Yeah, so we were working longer hours at work and then I caught up with my partner and some friends after work

and they had already had some lemonade so I was like, oh, time to catch up. No. I love playing catch-ups. It's always such a great idea. Yeah, yeah. Got home, put on the ninja slushy with some margaritas and had a good time. Don't drag ninja slush in her.

We won't hear a bad word about it. Yeah, yeah. Later on, went down the driveway to take my friend to an Uber and as I was coming back up in the dark, I've lost my footing and ended up in the hedge on the side of the driveway. But where I have put my knee down to balance myself, there was a nail sticking up. My partner friend has come out

because I was gone too long, pulled me out of the hedge, all sort of carried on. And then the next day I woke up and I had this big gash on the front of my leg, all this bruising, which has proceeded to get worse over the next few days. I ended up in A&A on Christmas Eve because I put saliolitis in my legs. I was going to say nothing like a hang of a tetanus injection. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the infection's gone, but it's still really hard. Oh, my God. I'm still like getting over it. And so now what do we do? We always eat dinner.

Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. This is like... Sounds like someone hasn't learned their lesson. I think this is a good PSA for everybody listening. This is why we eat.

If we are indulging moderately and sensibly. Of course, as we want to do. Always. With some alcoholic beverages. Nicola, thank you. Some messages in to finish. So many from the girls that like eating is cheating vibes.

You know, when you were like, nah, nah, I don't have enough money. It's cheaper to get drunk with no food in your stomach. Jeffrey does intermittent fasting. I broke my fast with one once.

Okay. Did not end well. Do not recommend. That's so bad. It's so naughty. I got offered a job. And I was like, Hooray, I went to celebrate with an 11 a.m. Margarita.

You know, just one to celebrate. And then I went and got my nails done, and the fumes from the nails made me faint. But I also think it might have been the margarita. I once had like a birthday lunch margarita and then got a massage, and it was not a good idea because it was a bit like worry on the table, and then they're pushing on me. Oh. No, no.

Why does this is a text or you're telling us? This is me. I did that. It's you, yeah. Birthday margaritas. Just saying that 11 a.m. margarita is never a good idea. Well, well, I'm just saying. No, we're not.

going for margaritas after work. I was going to propose a post show Guinness. No, we're going to the gym. Oh, after the Guinness. You in particular need to go, you're getting old. I know, I need to keep moving, don't I? Old and 44 and slowing down. You're a little loser. Yeah, that's true.

Play that ends, Fleshhorn and Haley. You've got to start looking after yourself when you get old, don't you? You do. God, there's a hell of a hair on my chin. I wish I could get my fingernails in there. And that's why you went for a colon check yesterday. I did. Got a colon check. I have a condition that grows polyps every year.

Now, I will say, one polyp found, one polyp removed. There was that one. Pretty good. That's not bad, baby. When you've been other years, there have been way more. Nine last year or seven the year before heaps. I've grown them a lot, and that's why you're going to get them checked, because they turn nasty. Pretty crazy considering the hell of a year you had last year. Yeah.

Because I thought the body during periods of extreme stress does things like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. the week's I just get this tight pinch in the chest. Why are you stressed? Have you had a rough ear? I have to roll my shoulder round out. Boom. We are setting up so many opportunities for you. Your last chance, mate.

I did. I went and got my colonoscopy yesterday. And by the way, nine out of nine for my bowel prep, which meant top score. Oh, yeah. Why do they do it out of nine? I don't know. Do it out of ten. It's so weird. Why step your scale of nine? Yeah, I don't know. It's sort of like, I got nine out of nine. I was very pleased of that.

And I knew it too. Nice, well done. When they say, how does your poops look? I was like, I knew it. Yeah. Clear as a whistle. Clear as a whistle. Yeah.

Did you say anything under the drugs? Yeah, so often I've been very inappropriate. And I thought of all years, this would be terrible. I've got gossip my sleeve. I've had an absolute wild year. I thought I would have been getting into it. I would have thought I would be dozing off saying, you can't write this, you know, and then just let and rip.

Yeah. I came to, and I felt very clear. Usually I might find myself sort of mid-centent. came to it very clear. And I said, oh yeah, how was I? And they said, yeah, great. You were pretty at ease. And I was like, oh, okay.

You know, that's all good. Nothing funny. And then the Anestis came and saw me and said, how are you feeling? Good, good, good. And he said, so remind me what station you're on? I said, oh, God. ZM. And he said, yeah, we know.

And I said, why? Apparently the whole time I kept saying, 91 ZM. What, you were giving it, and you were giving it the Auckland specific frequency? 91 ZM for the Auckland frequency. kept saying 91 ZM 11 ZM. What I'm trying to recruit

Recruit new listeners That is the only thing I said Usually I've told stories Said look this up Look it up Ryan Filippi's penis Or something like that That was my favourite That was my favourite story of your colonoscopies

Yeah yeah when I'd been telling them like You've got to look it up, it's huge No Yesterday all I said was 91 ZM Wow well thinking for promoting the show Yeah yeah well that's the Auckland thing What are your text if you want to know The other frequencies around the

country. North to 966, south to 966. Oh dear, you're an absolute profiling. Ticking those KPIs. Yeah, I'm actually surprised I didn't say, texted 9669696. Anything else you want to add, Vaughn, on your 44th birthday? My marriage ended last year in March. I can't believe he did it. Okay.

Well, yeah. That's why I had a rough year last year. And I just wanted it off the weight off my shoulders on my birthday. So that's about as much of the announcement as needs to happen. Good for you, Vaughney. And yeah. And that's how volleyball works. Thank you.

And that is how you play a game of volleyball. A set in a spike. Spike. It's been a running joke on morning. It has been, but it's not a joke at all. It has been a rough year for you. Good on you. Weight off your shoulders.

Tell you what. There you go. Appresh. Happy birthday, mate. Happy birthday, mate. Play. Play Z-N. Fleth, Worn.

we talked about this earlier that the girls had a message Harry Stiles personally messaged Carwin and Shannon Oh they were claiming he had emailed them But they don't understand how mailing list works It was personalised, it said dear Carl and my best friend love of my life Yeah yeah beauty beauty she's full of grace Yeah so you guys got like little insights into being privy to the listening party For the new album yeah so we got an invite that said like

If you want to come along to a thing sign up And as some people would have heard yesterday, we were like, we've not heard, we're not going, our lives are over. Cut to some time yesterday morning you guys had left, obviously. Neck minute. Oh, no, please don't. So we thought we weren't going, neck minute. Neck minute. Carry off.

I got a little email. Turns out that we were on wait list. And Shannon and I were going. Wow. So we didn't get to know the location until just before. It was very secretive. We couldn't tell anyone. Wait, so you just kind of had to be ready around the time.

I said, I was like, Carwood, what if it's in Hamilton? Like, I know it said Auckland, but like, we had no idea where we were going. Even Auckland, it's a big city. I know. And so we didn't know until quite close. And it was a really cool venue. They had to pick somewhere underground so people couldn't walk past and hear the album.

It had to be like a bunker. So what were you in a bunker or a sewer? It's just a bar, actually. It was like a speak-easy vibe. It was really cool vibe. There was a bunch of despise. cameras around. We took lots of photos. We had obviously no phones on us. They got taken. No watches even. Didn't get a track my steps, which was... Oh, because you think. No, because people don't... People don't know that. Like, your Apple Watch, you can just literally record your mic on it.

Yeah, the security was tight, but also we weren't risking them thinking we were going to get... You know, I was doing whatever they told me. They had fun little Harry Styles themed cocktails as well. Right. So the album isn't out until March 6th. Yeah. But did you get to listen to the entire album? Oh my God, Fletch. Harry himself did a little, hey, Auckland, did a little intro. And it sounded like he was in the room, honestly. Some people nearly fell over, they thought he was in the room. It's quite cute.

And then, yeah, back to back, the entire album, no stops. We just, like, bugied the whole night with some strangers. Some of them were listeners, actually. So, like, what's the... Okay. How would you kind of, like, describe it as a vibe the whole album? So remember when I said that my entry was like, I think this album's going to sound like you're in a club.

It's probably like 1 a.m. You're with some friends. in a country that people don't know you. It's that. This song is like the perfect reflection of the album. There is maybe one slower song, which is like very lovely and wholesome, maybe a potential wedding song for some people.

Oh, he's got a wedding song. Not like Ed Shear and wedding song. But there are some bangers on there. Oh my goodness. The whole thing. My personal favourite is Ready Steedy Go. I believe that's going to be one we'll be playing a lot on TV. Ready Steady Cook, you know.

Oh, it's so close. That was a real. Claude that was a good show, wasn't it? It was really hard to keep track of what song title we were at, but there's one near the end that I think is also going to be a real banger. But honestly, the album is incredible. If you like Aperture, it's Aperture Plus.

Because I think when Aperture came out, it was a bit like, and then it grew on me so much. I think it's the best way to enjoy this album on March 6 will be to get your friends, turn off the big lights in your room, and just dance the whole way through. We had so much fun, and we got so sweaty, and it was like such awesome vibes

and making so many new friends as well. Get a disco ball from Kmart, pop it up with a lamp or something, like really jimmy it up. Okay, okay. Love this. Love this. Well, March 6 for the album. That's not far. From Harry Styles.

That's my mum's birthday two weeks today. She'll be, she a Harry Styles gal? Huge Harry Styles fan. Next on the show, it's fact of the day and all this week because it is your birthday today, Vaughn. Yeah, I had a grim birthday fact about how many people die on their birthdays. I don't know of the mood for.

for that. Clean though on the tomb. That's what I'd like too. Because you could just be like, you could just put like B D, same numbers, different on the end. Yeah. Be nice. But I'm not, I'm going to change it because it feels too dark. It feels like we need some light. The Z&M Podcast Network.

Anniversaries and stuff Stress. Because they were older, yeah, it is. It's a stress and it puts on the harder excitement or like an overwork. And you know what? Sometimes it's the overwhelming feel of like love and joy and their body's just like. So I like to keep my love and joy. To a minimum.

Same and to a minimum. Same. I want to live long. But I want to instead say that you share your birthday with approximately 22 million people. Oh. Wow. That's not really all about us then. Eight billion people alive with 365 possible birthdays.

But we already have talked about. with the more popular birthdays. So allowing for a little bit of that, it's between 20 and 22 million people that are alive right now that share your birthday. So if you had one of the least popular birthdays, you still have, right, 20 million. Well more than the population of New Zealand.

Oh, yeah. We're 5 million, so that means four times the population of New Zealand is having their birthday any given day. What's a country with 20 million people? Brazil? Does Brazil have 20? 20 Brazilian. They don't have 20 million, they have 20 million Brazilians.

That's like so many zeros. 20 million Brazilians. Yeah. Million, Brazilian, millions of million. And just off the coast of Italy, there's that country with all of those people. Where? Five million Sicilians. Five million Sicilians.

Five million Sicilians. It's a lot of zero. Five million Australians. The population of Brazil is 213 million. Okay. So, it's. Oh, my God. No.

We just need... 20. He said 200. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Wait, are you telling me this 200 million hot Brazilians? No, I would say... I think so they can't all be hot.

But I reckon it'd be safe to say 180. million of those Brazilians are hot. Australia's got 20 million. Okay, so it would be like... Oh no, they're at 26. Right. Most people in Australia having a birthday on the same day. I've got all the countries by population.

Latino Faso is 23. Netherlands is just under 19? Okay, so every Dutch person ever. Yeah, or Chile is actually... Chile and Somalia are pretty much bang on 20 mil each. Okay, you've got a choice. You go to the Netherlands, Chile or Somalia? Where are you going?

Chile. Chile. Because I've been, and it's incredible, like, oh really? The Somalia would be amazing. Somalia would be amazing, but the, yeah, the blonde, tall thing's not really my idea. The Dutch.

Yeah. I like the canals. Sure. I just thought we could try to make it about something other than the people being. No, no, I'm just thinking about the hotis. What is Chile is hot? Chilean, Chilean. Yeah, South American.

Pedro Piscales, Chilean. Bad bunny? No, bad balinese. He's Puerto Rican. Literally, like, Literally the entire thing about how he's Puerto Rican because it's a territory of the US. No, I was thinking that because Pedro Pascal was in his halftime show.

Oh, no, I think that was just celebrating Latino culture on a whole. And as we do every day here on Fletchfort and Haley. Every day we celebrate Latino culture. Don't we ever. Boy, we try. If there's every day where you feel you're listening to the show and we're not celebrating Latino culture enough, please let us know and we will immediately do what we can. Oh my God, call us out.

We want to be held accountable. We'll rectify that. Yeah, immediately. Immediately. So today's fact of the day is that around the world, on your birthday, there's between 20 and 22 million people also celebrating. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yesterday, after my...

After my colonoscopy, my mum had to pick me up. My dad came along for the ride. Yeah. After all these years, they like each other. They're living the retired life and they like each other. They like each other. They get on so well. So they picked me up after my procedure and I was sat in the back,

you know, the patient in the back. Yeah. And mum was driving my car, dad in the front. And I said to her, we're in the North Shore. It was a bit kind of an odd way to get home. So I said, I'll pop on Google Maps to my house. Yeah. so that you don't have to worry about it.

Because they haven't really lived here before, have they? No, they don't know Auckland that well, especially like North Shore is quite hard to get where I am. You know, you've got to sort of go around the back. Green Hife. I can't see a reason that would see your parents go to the North Shore. Nah. Oh, the beaches, that's where they beach.

Right. They beach. They go up. Browns and up. They don't go across and down into your Tukapunas. Do they go to Secret Beach? What secret beach? Minihaha.

Oh, Vaughn, you don't say it out loud. Minihaha. No, it's that out like three times. Or minihaha appears. Otherwise, the hot people stop going there. Yeah. Yeah. Which is actually I'll say mini ha ha, mini ha, mini ha, mani ha then,

because I don't ever feel particularly hot there. My parents were at Milford yesterday. Well, they might have been at Sacred Beach. Did they go to House of Travel Milford? Or is I like to see it written down Hot Milf. House of Travel, Milford, when it's abbreviated, it says hot milk. Hot Milf. That's where I do all of my cruising.

Yeah, hot milk. Yeah, yeah. Hot Mouth. No, no, no. They were hanging around. Anyway, they picked me up. I put my thing in and I've got like a little screen in my car. It's a nice car, right?

So it's got the screen with the maps on it. And then I'm coming down from Propofal, so I'm trying to just close my eyes and enjoy the ride back to my bed where mum keeps going. You know, she does that first thing which was, oh, which way is this taking me? I wouldn't go that way.

It's never lived in Auckland in her life. She knows better. Oh, don't mum's know better. Yeah. No, you go up this way. And I looked at it, I looked at the map from my Blerey. and I was like, says turn left here. But that's going to take, no, no, no, go this way. I said, but I'm just follow the map.

Just follow the map. She said, oh, fine, I'll follow the map. She turns, and I was like, right, off she trots. And I said, I'll close my eyes a little bit. Propopold's taking me away. And she goes, which way am I going now? And I said, just follow the screen. The screen's right.

Can you see the screen? Can you see the screen? Oh, no, I wasn't looking at it. I was looking at the cars in front. Which way am I going? I said, there's screens there. So if you just look at the screen and follow the screen. When she was learning to drive, she's really learning to drive a manual.

Yes, she was, but, you know, it's been many years since then. There were cars without radios, and all of a sudden we've dumped a TV in our parents' car and expect them to be okay with it. Yeah, true. It was like four or five times she kept saying, I'm not going that way. That's ridiculous. We usually go this way. And I was like, well, mum, you're probably usually wrong.

You're probably usually going a slower route. Also, it's like lunchtime. Traffic's a bit busy or something like that. In big cities, you always trust the Google Maps. Yeah, I've missed that. Where am I going now? Follow the map. Why to put on the map?

If you're so confident, no, I know how to get home from here. No, you don't. No, you don't, because you're going the worst way about it. Anyway, like, bless them, but it drives me crazy. My mum thinks she knows the Auckland Road's better than Google Maps. It is watching us 24-7 from satellites. There's a network of phones in everyone's cars.

That's how it's doing it. Oh, Patsy's brush. She knows the way. I want to know today. What is the thing? We love them. We love our parents. But what is the one thing they do that absolutely drives you mad? Maybe it's every time you go home, there's always tick questions.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or they just have a little habit that you're like... Or they ask you how to do something. You tell them, they do the opposite and then immediately like blame you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that didn't work because that's not what I said to do. That's not what I said to do.

That's not what I said. Okay, give us a call. 0800 dials that even you can text through. 966. What are those little things your parents do that drives you mad? My mum yesterday asked for Google Maps to be on, but then the whole time questioned it.

It didn't go, no, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't go that way. I kept asking, where am I going now? Look at the screen, mum. Anonymous, what is the thing that your parents do that annoy you? Good morning, team. So one thing that bugs me about my mum, she's always worked in retired, you know, with elderly people in retirement villages.

And one thing she constantly does is she talks, like, right in your face. Oh, because she's just talking to people at heart of hearing, so she's going to get right in there. Oh. Yes, and now that she's retired and she still does it, and you're like, Mom, just give us some space. Oh, it gets right up in your grill. Have you what's that dear?

Yeah. Yes, yeah. Now, when you say to your mum, oh, Mom, do you mind stepping back a little bit? Does she get very offended or you just don't say anything? No, we do say stuff, but she just doesn't, like, she just doesn't get it. She just, I think it's because she's done it for so long, you know, like she's worked with the elderly for like 30, 40 years. Yeah. Yeah.

It's just a habit now. Just ingrained. Yeah. Oh, God. Amazing. Anonymous, thank you. What is the thing that your parents do that really grinds your gears? Is that me?

That is, you? Is your name Hannah? Yeah, I'm Hannah. Go ahead, Hannah. Hey, my mum breaks every single corner in the car, even if it's not necessary. Oh! I reckon I'm constantly driving behind your mum if that's the car. What was the saying?

Break on the straight before it's too late. Yes. Yeah, but is she breaking on the corner? Yeah, on the corner. See, that's not what you do. So she doesn't take the foot off the accelerator and glide around a longer corner She'll even break on that one

No, she's the one that breaks right on the corner She must be going through some brake pads Yeah, geez Louise God that's not good isn't it? Do you bring it up with her? What is that sorry? Do you bring it up with her like Oh mum, you're not supposed to really break in the corners?

I'm about two minutes and I'm like, mom I'm driving Yeah, get out But then when you drive She'll be like, oh Oh, why you be so Give them some space. Do you know the limit here, ain't he? She holds on to the seat.

Oh my God, the worst. I love that. Hannah, thank you, Gemma. What's the thing that your parents do that grinds your gears? Morning, guys. I've firstly, long time looking at first time call this. Hello, hello.

Welcome to the show. Welcome. So my partner's mom still sees neck minute. Oh, God. We work with. Wouldn't that be annoying if someone kept saying neck minute? We work with someone like that too, Gemma. She sounds like a cool.

Yeah, I feel your pain, guys. guys. Excuse you. Please don't call up my workplace, Gemma, and bully me and turn my

workmates against me because Nick Minner, I'm going to lose it, you know? I mean, she is a pretty cool mother-in-law. I'll give you that one.

Yeah, she's cool. Gemma, thank you, some messages in. My mum has multiple cups of coffee every day

and leaves the cups all over the house. Oh, we're talking about the annoying things your parents do. I leave skid marks on the toilet seat.

Oh, no. And smares on the wall? That's from Catherine. smears on the water. What are they touching? They're wiping and having a misfire and a finger goes through the paper and then aiding the wall.

That's disgusting. She needs to submit a mousseau. Ask me what the passwords are for their email and the accounts. I'm like, well, they're all passwords. You've got to get a bock or something. Get a little not pad. Save them to the keychain.

Constantly telling me how busy they are. They're retired. Yeah, what have you got to do? Oh, but the gardens. And my dad says, and, um, 20 times throughout telling me a story. And damn. Keep your text.

Coming in, nine, six, nine. six, those things that your parents do that really grind your gears. Things your parents do that drive you mad. We love them. This is not a dig at the parents. It's a little vent, I think, for a Friday. Just let off a bit of steam. Because your mum won't trust Google Maps.

She just won't trust them. Just lean in. She'll put it on, but then be like, that's a stupid way to go. I'm not going that way. I'm like, I just need to get home, so just go whatever way. Oh, no, there's so much.

The click of the tongue and then when she's frustrated. Can't do something. It's constant. Oh, oh! When my mum and dad come to stay every night they insist on kissing me good night and saying, kiss him on the head, good night and saying, night, sweetie, I'm a 40-year-old woman.

Oh, I take it. Take it because one day they're not going to be there and you're going to miss the kisses. That's cute. I kiss my parents good night. You're on the mouth. No, no, we do Italian. Cheek, check.

But when you see them and you haven't seen them for a while, it's on the lips. Yeah, that's so weird. Yeah. My dad drives me nuts. because he eats a banana with such unnecessary force. Nashing of the teeth like an animal. Do you don't use teeth?

Oh, banana. No need. No. And a banana, you sort of lip it. Yeah. Like an ice cream. Like an ice cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Make out with it, basically. Like an ice cream. Yeah. Yep. Top six foods to make out with. Ice cream? Number one. Next week.

Yeah. Bananas. Like a moose? Mango? Your moose? Make out with moose. A peach? A peach you make out with.

You've got to go through the skin. Then once you're through the skin a pinch your own nectar in, that's pure gum territory if you're so inclined. Bailey said my mum calls me three times a day to ask the same question. No, you listen the first time. Or it will send you to a home quicker than you can do my name in the next time. My mum will be telling a story and my dad will chip in and correct her on every detail, which actually holds no relevance to the story.

Constantly doing it. I can't believe mum's letting him. That's the sort of thing that be. Oh, I know, but that's why they've lasted so long. They just let each other. Whenever I go away on holiday New Zealand, my dad makes sure he gives me the best directions to get there. I'm a 50-year-old woman with a husband and a family

who backpacked around the world in my 20s. I think I can get to the balance. Yeah, and also like Google Maps. Google Maps. My dad scrapes his knife and fork across plates. That's not, okay? Yeah, my dad does it too. I'm scooping the bowl,

and you can see 35 years of marriage wearing thin on my mom's face. With the bowl scrape with the spoon. Yeah. My mom likes to tell me what the neighbors do. daughter, sister's, boyfriend's mum did. Not once, but probably three times. Yeah, yeah. Three times.

And constantly talking about someone I met once when I was four, like I remember them. I know, like sometimes you'll ring up, you know, the parents to catch up and they'd be like, you remember a thing and their thing and that. Well, they've died. Because my cousin, yeah. And so his daughter, you've met before, once before. Anyway, so she's going to university. Yeah, yeah, and in Wellington.

And so she, because you do you remember? She's going to study law because do you remember her uncle? You met him. He's a lawyer. Right. And he's going to get in the end at the firm. And you're just like, I don't care. I don't care.

What's the opposite of care, right? Yeah. Let's talk about me. Dad's excessively loud sneezes. Do you know I listen to a podcast and they said that, you know, people are, I can't help it. You can help it. You can't. You can't help it.

You learn to sneeze. You're not inherently born with your sneeze. Right. You learn to sneeze. I thought that was very interesting. So you can unlearn the loud sneeze. Okay. I once said to my dad like,

five years ago that I hadn't had the best childhood. And every single phone call for the following five years, he will randomly find a way to bring up that I once told him I didn't have a great childhood. Oh, it sounds like he needs some therapy. Yeah, that's got therapy written all over. It's got a bit of emotional immaturity to it, I like. Yeah, it's given, yeah.

The white bits in the corner of my dad's mouth drives me mental. So good. My parents and animals both leave tea bags in the sink rather than popping them straight in the compost. If I ever mentioned somebody to my mum about thinking about going on holiday I'll get new carpet She'll research everything

And just send me so many messages about it I said mum I was just thinking about it That's kind of nice That is nice I saw this and thought you'd like that Yeah that's nice I've been a hairdresser I've been hairdressing for 16 years

Lovely. Wheel throwing, that's the pottery one. My algorithm shows me some pottery sometimes, and the pot-ess. I think is what you call a female potter. Yes. She's wearing sort of a loose fitting singlet and it gets caught in the wheel. And I'm like, for good to sake.

And she just keeps doing it. What happens? She's not learning from many of her lessons. But that would surely if it got caught and keep spinning, it would rip it off. Exposing it. I haven't watched the whole video, but I am. Surely YouTube doesn't let you put that on. Is it not YouTube?

I keep watching videos of how to get out stains because I've got all these stained clothes. And they put the camera in the washing machine. and they'll put the clothes in the washing machine, but my girls keep getting stuck in there. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's not good. Keep getting stuck.

The ZN podcast network play ZN's flesh, Forne and Haley. Got a bit of bad news. Now, you may remember that, was I vouching for this on here about, um, ecomas. I don't know if it was on here or in the podcast. Because we were talking about flies. Flies, man. God damn, man. Flies. Yeah, this is also what old people do.

Like, my auntie loves flies. I know. I know. Mom, don't shut the door. The flies will come in. Oh, wait, so your mum's has shut the door or air conditioning. Yeah, they'll shut the door so it's like a sweltering. It's like a sauna.

Oh, she's not from air conditioning. Yeah, so I'm just like, can we just open the door? I'll deal with the flies. Can a fly spray a night, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon I'm immune to it. You could spray it. I could breathe nothing but fly spray and I'd be sweet.

You're no oxygen. No. This is like, they've been bad this summer for me and we've had the doors open at the back of the, you know, so it's just everywhere and they're those fat, sticky blowfly. Let's get sick of it. Okay, let's rank some flies.

Which is the worst. Big, big blowflies, the pits, but those little zippy ones that are impossible because I can flick a hat and kill a fly. What about a sticky one that doesn't move when you kind of... I call them pass-ball on flies. What are they? Big dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb flies.

Okay, what's grosser? 966 if you want a part-tack. 9-6-96. What's your least favorite fly? What's your fly ranking? Yeah. It's like fruit flies. Fruit flies.

They're super annoying but I don't find them a problem. No, they're fine. They're so little. And generally, your fault. You eat the banana. Eat it. Yeah, put your fruit in the fridge. Eat it or chuck it.

So what about the shiny ones? They're my least favorite. I hate the purpley green ones. Yeah, they look like a power shell on the back. They look like an oil spill. What are they? I hate them so much because they're just about the size of a blowfly so that big, that buzz

real loud and they're shiny. They're fast and shiny. They're the worst. Why are they so shiny? Can they touch you? They like, get on you? Man, it's been annoying and we had those like, you know, like a raid one or whatever, the little fly spray things and it was doing nothing. And my mum said, no,

we used to have it our old house, Eco Mist, called on Anans' End. Non-spom, by the way, we bought ours. She was like, you've got to get the Eco Mist. We've got two ecomists in my house. Don't like the way they look aesthetically. It's not part of my vintage. There's no, there's no aesthetically

pleasing. This is a business idea. Could you get like, could you go like antique shopping and look for some kind of clay pot and drill a hole in it? Yeah, I wanted to do like a timber. I don't hate that idea. Yeah, I wanted to do like a tin frame and put it around it and then cut the hole

and then you're like, oh my God, cute vintage wears. I just put up a photo. They're called a green bottlefly. I hate though. They're the worst. Why they're so shiny? Number one. You've got no business looking like a treasure. Yeah, number one worse fly. Yeah, yeah, totally. And then I think, close.

Blowfly, because they're so big. No, because I can get them as those little zappy flies are the next ones for me. Someone messaged in, light shade hustler flies. Please Google that one. Cluster flies are the worst. Oh, my God, when they have sex on you, get off. Anyway. Oh, yeah, that's true.

Okay, so blue oil spill flies. Yeah. And then humping flies, number two. Humping flies that hump on your arm or leg. Number two. Yeah. Two mating on the table. Ooh, yeah.

Ooh, yeah. Cluster flies. Ooh. O, they're the worst ones. Oh, the pits. They're 90 of them. Because they look sharp. And they're very aerodynamic.

They're black on black on black. And they're a bit of brown. Yeah. They're the stealth bomber of flies. They are. Yark. Anyway, I just need to get to the end of this. It's terrible.

We can keep brandy flies. Whereas that green shiny one is the P-51 Mustang. Like ace. Yeah. So we got these air calls. And a Lancaster bomber. Are we talking World War II planes here? Because I'm happy we can.

What's your first thing? talk whatever we want. Anyway, we got these two ecomists and they spritz and the flies have been down, right, really down. Like, vouch. Now you've got problem too. The bees come in. Oh, wait, what? I was going to say dead flies all over the floor and bench. No, that's fine. We vacuum every day in my house. We, my parents. Your living cleaners. Your unemployed, retired cleaners. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my benefact, what are they called? Beneficaries. No, no, my, um, dependents. You got a couple of dependents. Um, so, no, but when a bee flies into my house, I have

What, the cute bumblebees? I've killed two honeybees. The bumblebee is the Eriquois helicopter of... Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to be down a couple of boxes of honey puffs. Yeah, babes. And I say to them when they come in, get out of here.

Get out of here. Before it's too late. You've got to go. You've got to run. I get that with dragonflies because I love dragonflies. I hate them. Oh, I think that's so special. What would they be?

Robinson. I'll spriton. I'm a bee murderer. It looks like a helicopter. Well, yeah, but it's a small price you pay, right? It is. You can't build a motorway without destroying a few ecosystems. You know?

Yeah. I think you can't make an omel without breaking a few eggs is the better one to say rather than you can't make a motorway without destroying ecosystems. Someone said there's 99.5% less flies in Southland. Are we moving? Auckland's very fly-y. But then what part of Southland? Because on the West Coast of the South Island, sandflies are as big as flies and they bite you. They see they're awful.

Yeah, see, I'd rather flies than sandflies. Maybe put sandflies at number three after humming flies. and the green blue fly. Yuck. No, that little black cluster fly. Oh yeah, that's a good call. Someone said honey bees are a huge 500. That's a helicopter.

To the person just message, Haley, don't kill bees. I'm not, it's just they're coming into my house. I can't and I'm like, you must leave. The odd bee might get lost and end up in your house, but I've got a beehive, literally tens of thousands of bees. The thing is hummed. So we're kind of, what you're saying is we're in class.

They don't come into the house on purpose. They might get a little bit disorientated. Right. And to be honest, if we're we're weeding out the weak bees, Getting bit of honey. Yeah. True. But also maybe stop looking like a beehive.

It's a very colourful home. It's a very colourful home. The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Flesh, Worn and Haley. Friday means for me. What does it mean? It means I get to have a lovely wine. A Friday wan.

Oh, my mum wants to try the wine and the ninja slushy. Yeah, I did it once. What do you do? We did it the first ninja slushy night when we'd slushed everything we bought to slush and I chucked a bottle of rosé in there. Was that frose?

Was yum. Okay. Yeah, but obviously, I don't think I'm using the thing. I put a bottle of Sprite in the Ninja Slushy yesterday. Yeah? Yeah. But did you put it on the non-alcoholic one? Okay, no, he's used to.

Okay, why? I want custody back. I'm taking full custody. I don't even think I got washed at the end of the day. You've got custody of the ninja slushy. Are you even reading the manual? I didn't give it to him. I assumed that you would use ChachyPT.

I did. and he would explain it to you using his website. So you got confused he's going to say I've got a ninja creamy. I'm like, I don't know. I'll drop it off to you. But I want to tell you both fathers. I'm going for full custody. I'll see you both in court.

You go for full custody about a ninja slushy. I haven't even had a weekend with the ninja slushy unless you count the time. Exactly. Sworn in on the weekend and take the ninja slushie to McDonald's and. Tell me one thing about the ninja slushy that you know. Yeah, what's the ninja slushy that you know? What's the ninja slushy soft? What year is the ninja slushie?

Ninja Slushie at school this year. No idea. What's the Ninja Slushies? Two best friends. You're an absent father. No, I'm sorry. Don't know. Dacquerie and Rose.

Okay, you know they're... Okay, so you know we're friends. Well, we would say obviously drink responsibly and in moderation. No, of course, of course. Now, and I wanted to talk about this because the study has been published in the Journal of Personality

and what they did is they used AI to examine nearly 10,000 online wine reviews. Love that. And they have found that by analyzing the language people used, they estimated the personality traits and compared them to the alcohol levels of the wine that they preferred. Because this is such a Kiwi thing to do. Right.

Look for standard drinks? Yeah, look for the standard drinks in a bottle. So they found that the more open and agreeable people tended to be, they liked stronger wines. Okay. That's our party animals. Yeah, while more extroverted and emotionally sensitive people preferred lower alcohol. whole wines.

And so the study suggests that personality may influence not just a wine that people like, but how strong they like it. I wonder if that is it's that like your extroverted big party guys looking for a bit of bang for buck. Wine I don't consider. I'm not a big wine drinker, but when I do like go to purchase, it'll be like either the cheapest markdown wine with gold or silver stickers on it. With stickers on it, I know.

And then you look at the stickers and they just don't mean anything. But I don't look at strength of wine. Do you know what I mean? I would never look at the alcoholic beverages of wine. I'm just enjoying a wine. You're just like, I want to win. I love wine so much. Obviously drinking moderation.

Yeah, but moderate wine is just, it's a lovely, it's a lovely quaff. I think I'm going to enjoy a fizzy. A lovely what? Quaff. Okay. I'm going to enjoy some fizzy wine today, I think. Okay, good on. As you're allowed to do.

As I am want to do. Probably patsy or like a wren. Thirteen minutes away. God, your recycling bin must jangle. Dude. With those two in the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Us too and Craig.
