Memorial Studio. Yeah, Grant is looking over me and I feel inspired. God bless. And it's very rainy down in Wellington. Is that? Surprise. Surprise. Are you...

Are you... Are you... Leaky? dribbly. Yeah. Dribly key, that one. Are you... Are you telling us why you're down there? Because I've been telling everybody.

I know. You can't. Okay, right. No, I even had to get... So I brought my mum and dad down with me to visit an exciting thing that I've been working on. And they had to sign non-disclosure agreement. So you guys better start shutting your mouth.

Wow. Well, I haven't told anybody. I always forget. Yeah, that's great. That's even better. Whereas I've been telling absolutely anyone that will listen. But anyway, the top six born? Yep, the top six ways

Air New Zealand can save money. Lots of money lost. Yes, it reported its earnings and they were down with it. It's not good, not good. It's not good. You might not even get a biscuit today, Haley, on the flight. Are you serious? Are you serious? I'm sorry to say it.

It's not looking good. Would Jetstar give me a biscuit? Oh, no, no. No, no. You have to bake your own. own in the oven at the back. Do they let you bait your own? I don't know about how cool what if you could...

Imagine if you could start a little cookie selling business on board. You could bring your own, the rolls of cookie dough from Costco. Yes, love. Crank our bickies and sell them on board. Little Girl Scout. Yeah. Cookie sale. It's coming up in the top six. Next on the show though.

There is a woman who was fired for listening to something at work and she has fought back. The Fletchborn and Haley Big Pod. There is a Scottish woman. Her name is Kirste Kohlman. Kirste Kulman. That was pretty good. Thank you.

Now Kirste, she works for a finance company and she has just won $15,000 in New Zealand dollars for unfair dismissal. She was fired from her workplace after her manager was like fishing around the computer system. He said he was looking for

a spreadsheet. What he came across was their version of like teams, you know, internally they're all messaging each other. Yeah, yeah. And what they came across was some messages she had shared with her workers

about her listening to her audiobook while she was working. Just typing away and she had a headphones. Type, type, type, type. Type, type. Type, type, type. Probably listening to the Fletchworn and Haley podcast. On Iheart. Yeah, you can read that. actually listen to that worldwide. Just take us with you.

Any where you want. Even the radio live, yeah, fantastic. I wouldn't listen to it in every country. What he made? You wrote content on the show that would not be acceptable on some more conservative nations. Well, maybe especially what Haley's about to say. Yeah, well, good morning to our Saudi Arabian listeners.

Yeah, so she was sharing that she was listening to her audio book and then one of her workers message back saying, oh, you mean your dragon porn? Uh-oh. And then... And it was sort of revealed within this chat that she was listening to Audio Erotica of the monster variety. Right.

And she was sort of messaging saying, oh my God, my book just got so steamy. Oh my gosh, this chapter I just got to just got really heated. And everyone was sort of laughing. It was very lighthearted. But her manager fired her for accessing porn, basically, at work. Right. So Can they fire you for that?

What you said? Are you a bit concerned about this? I just, I just asking for a friend. Just a question. Just a generally asking for a friend. I think it's generally well known that you shouldn't do that at work.

At work. Yeah. I think it's well about on the way to and from work. No, that's your time? My time. Yeah. Yeah, I know, but remember we do have company phones and remember, Fletch did have to inform me

that they do see what we look up. Yeah, so I stopped. I didn't know I didn't know that I'll be in trouble So anyway she was fired for accessing porn at work Then she just went to the Employment Tribunal of Scotland And it went all the way

Like they had a hearing and she said Unfair dismissal and the courts agreed No fair basis for the allegations of accessing pornographic content work So she got to pay out She got a pay out 16 grand But I wonder like

I love these things stories of when someone is unfairly dismissed and they fight back and they get a payout and it's great and I'm all for them and I'm on their side but how much money does it cost these people with lawyers and stuff? I know.

Do people out there do it for free? I don't know if the company has to supply someone to like defend you as well. I don't know sometimes maybe. Could you just do it with chat jipiti? I love chat jipiti. Like could you defend yourself an employment court with that and that's enough? Like

Because otherwise, like, this woman would have almost spent that on lawyers. I know, I know, I know, but it's the justice, I guess. Oh, don't get me wrong. Yeah, let's get it on record, right? Yeah. I also don't think that she's gone back because she said that, you know, the relationship with that workmate is irreparably damaged. Yeah.

But she got a little payout and she'll get a new job and she'll keep listening to her. Does make you think, though, when you walk through the office here and you see everyone on their headphones, what are they listening to? listening to. I mean, honestly, what if they downloaded it at home? No, it's not the fact that she was listening on the Wi-Fi. It's the fact that she was

messaging her workmates saying, this is what I'm listening to. But the court found that was absolutely fine. Yeah, and they also deemed the content that she was listening to it. By the way, and I know producer Carwin in particular is going to want to know, there's no mention of what the actual book was.

Carlin looks, yeah, distraught at that. dragons, heavy and dragon. I mean, literally that could be any of the fantasy novels. Lots of dragon stuff. I just want to say, do you know, I haven't listened to Smart for almost about a year.

Why? Why? What's wrong with you? You're okay? Are you in love or something? So it's becoming single, I think of... You've been getting it elsewhere. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod. Today's the little Apollo. Are you scared of flying? Now, I have noticed we put up two

things on Instagram yesterday where we asked for feedback. One was also a little poll you're scared of flying and down the bottom there's a picture of Fletch. And then coming up after seven we're debuting an non-a-box. Yeah. Where we put a box up and you can contribute anonymously to have you been told you're bad at sex and they used me in that one.

So are you scared of flying? Fletch, are you bad at sex? Me. Yeah. Yeah. It's just it helps for people to have a sort of connotation, you know, that they can eventually drop in with. Ha! Just something to consider. You just kind of look, you know.

I look bad at sex. You just look bad at sex. That's fair enough. Yeah, I think, I've heard you're not, but you look like you would be. I look like I'm terrible. But don't worry, we've heard you're not. Well, you know what, Edmund Hillary. We've heard you or not, yeah.

Edmund Hillary didn't look like much of a mountain climber, did he? No, he actually was like six foot five. Yeah, no, too tall. The Nepalese are all smaller people. No, he looked like he could mount a mountain. No. He looked like... That man looked like he could absolutely mount the hell out of a mountain.

Now, he looked good at sex. He looked good at sex as well. But he didn't look good at sex as well. match of a mountain climber. But you don't. No, I know. And that's why we used your image. Okay.

I'm glad we cleared that up. Do you have any more questions or do you want to do the silly little pole? Can I go? I'm not very. Don't try though. Are you scared of flying us today's silly little pole? 80% of people said no, but 20% of people said yes. So 1 and 5.

Yeah. So you think about when there's 500 people on a plane? Yeah. A lot of them, yeah, especially when the weather's bad. And turbulence is increasing because of, you know, the climate change. A lot more turbulence, a lot more freak turbulence. It's 100 people. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know why my maths is so bad on a plane of 500 people. 100 people are scared. So a travel influencer couple who are traveling shared a hack, which has kind of gone viral, where if you have some travel anxiety and, you know, you don't like the shaking, I mean, it's probably not going to help for giant drops, sudden drops. I love those. But they say if you just lift your feet off the floor,

you don't have the connection as much with the actual plane shaking, and that can help just calm you a lot more. So you can shake through the seat. Well, I mean, obviously the seat does, but because you're not on the feet on the ground, they're not, you know, you don't get as much. Oh, I love that. So, I mean, just try that if you are an anxious or a nervous flyer

and maybe take off and landing, you could take... Because I always want it to crank up. But also, like, I feel like that's core strength. I mean, you can obviously hold off to the armrest, but to keep the feet off the ground, that's a bit of core strength. That's good.

You're getting abs done and you're feeling better. Yeah. Laura said I didn't used to be. Ever since having a kid, I'm scared of everything. I think I'm scared of dying and leaving her behind with no mum. It's even annoying, being fearful of freaking everything, though. Christ, that's a way to live, isn't it?

Yeah. Really dark. Heaps of people. did okay with no mums. Like Batman. Yep. And Superman. And Spider-Man.

Yeah, but you would say all three of those would have helped with therapy. Harry Potter. Therapy would have helped a lot. Well, Batman's therapy was cleaning up the streets of Gotham. Yeah, true. Taking out the very criminals that cost him his mother and father. Thomas and Martha Wayne. That's beautiful.

Thank you. Rachel said, I do it a lot, but yes, I'm scared of flying. Since I hit my 30s, I started to have to take diazepam to chill me out before flights. Well, you mentioned that. It's funny you mention that because our friend Matt said, well, you could just pass out in the lavatories like the rest of us. Because remember that time he took some pills and passed out on the toilet and staff had to open the door?

Yeah, from the outside. His husband had to deal with him. Well, no, his husband was in business class. He didn't know what was happening. Matt was in poverty. In poverty class. I'm sorry, but if you get a free upgrade, you're allowed to leave your partner behind.

Absolutely. And now that's why you don't have one. But Mike has one and he should know better. Yeah, true. Haley, oh no, Sprowlyan account messages Generally, no, I bet it's not to think about all the things that could go wrong up in the air But I am more scared they won't have any green lollies left and that I'll only grab orange ones Sproulian likes the green lollies

Yeah, okay It's a superior lolley, that's rocked me to my core Tracy said, just turbulence It's just turbulence. Yeah, you're fine. It's just safer than driving on New Zealand roads, I'll tell you that much. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, God, yeah.

No, but I'm scared of airport. says Neve. I love airports. As long as it's a good flowing airport. Yeah. I love a big fancy one like Doha or a...

Changi. You know, Changi. Yeah, they've got a waterfall there, don't they? Yeah, and a butterfly garden. Sonia said turbulence is basically a free rollercoast. You have to pay for that experience. You're already paying to be on there. Yeah, true.

I understand the engineering and I know I'm fine, but I still hate feeling turbulence. It's not the fear, it's just the feeling. You're so high in the air and it. It's rattling. Sounds like you're scared. I feel so claustrophobic on plane, says Rebecca. I listen to your podcast.

On IHart. On IHart radio. On the IHart app. To calm me down. It's a great distraction. Oh, that's nice. We live to bring comfort. Yeah, well, that's our main thing, isn't it?

Yeah. Laugh out louder and comfort our comforter. I love flying, but sometimes I get irrationally emotional. Thinking of this plane goes down with the husband and eye on it, and a sweet wee cat won't understand why mum and dad never came home. I'm sorry, but your cat will just move. We'll just move on to whoever's feeding it. Your cat won't even give it a second thought.

And M goes on to say, but now I'm crying on a train, but I'm pregnant, so that's normal. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, for Ciciladol today, we said, are you scared of flying? And 80% of you said, Haley's not doing the head thing that we always do. The ZM Podcast Network.

Well, yesterday, afternoon, producer Shannon and I were little concerned momentarily. Were you immediately just like, what? It shook me to my core Oh no We received an email from our doctors Because Shannon and I have the same doctors Doctor I think you go there for different things

Yes But they've seen a lot of both of us Yes Okay So Why they haven't seen much of me They haven't seen much of me at all Well they had to take photos of my boobs

It was crazy then I got surgery Photos? Yeah And they were like We're going to take some photos and I remember being like, oh no, like, do I look like who I need to? Do it like hot?

Do I smile? Does your doctor have a like two and a half seat of leather couch? Like leather, black, black leather couch? No, yeah, it was legit. But it was just weird. I was like, oh, do I smile on this? Like, do I pose? I had that when I got a mole map and you have to do all those weird poses

where you're completely naked with your butt and your boobs and stuff. You're like, what hard drive is this being stored on? You do wonder. But no, they do it. And they're great doctors. but we received an email saying and the headline was or the subject, we're moving.

And I was like, you, you what? You're moving? How dare you? Doctors don't move? Doctors don't. I know doctors don't move. They stay in the same building forever. Oh, you mean the practice?

Well, the whole, yeah, and I was just like, oh, great, I'm going to have to find a new doctors. And then I actually read the email and it's the next building over. So it's actually, it's actually closer. It's actually closer by like, maybe 10 metres for me. So this is fantastic news. Did they cite a reason as to the move?

No, they're just at the new... They want to make it nice. Yeah, they want to make it... They're just upgrading, I think, basically. Well, you'll be copping that cost. Well, maybe. Well, maybe it was too expensive where they were, I don't know. But God, for a moment there,

because there's nothing worse than when someone you love, like a service or whoever, because your doctor actually moved cities. Yeah, mine moved from Auckland to New Plymouth. And I was devastated. point where I was like maybe I'll go down to visit, but you know how often I bloody go to the doctors. Yeah, you're a frequent

flyer at the doctors, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You belong to a doctor that was in an old house? Yes. That's where... The doctor we had growing up, the family doctor in New Plymouth was in an old house. Like an old villa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where Dr. Shawnee works. Does he and work like a converted villa?

Like a massive old house. Two-story with a big creaking Cody. Really? And the waiting room's in the lounge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's weird because you walked in the front door and whatnot. The bedroom was the first thing that was the wedding room. Yeah, yeah. Someone sat in the wide hallways because they used to make a hallway.

He used to make a wide hallways. And then your concertations in what, like the kids room used to be. Or the kitchen. Yeah, or the kitchen. Yeah. He's like, I'll just check your prostate if you bend over the kitchen bench. Bend over the stove. Yeah.

But yeah, I don't think they're just in a office building. All right. We don't get an old villa. Okay. But are they going to specifically. tailor the space? I guess so, yeah, I guess so. You'd hope so.

Well, yeah, for that, you know, amount of money, why not? Yeah. Have you actually been to the doctor this month? It is. Because we're about to do a whole, oh. I was about to applaud and say, we're about to do a whole month where you haven't been to the doctor, Haley. Yeah, no, no, I've been to the doctor.

Oh. This is the shortest month, too. Last day tomorrow. Are you sure? Because I think you might. I'm going to look it up. I'm going to look it up in my calendar. Hang on, Doctor.

You did have a colonoscopy. Yeah, that kind of counts. Yeah, that's a doctor. Was there a doctor there? Yeah, of course. No, wait, wait. The last time I went to the doctor was the 21st of January.

I mean, that's insane. Are we applauding this? I don't know, because we've got a colonoscopy. So I feel like she's clearly a doctor. You've seen a doctor every month this year so far. Maybe March. Last year as well. We'll try for March.

Yeah. The Z&M's podcast network. Play ZM's Flash foran and Haley. From the Fletchborn and Haley group chat, this is the top six. Air New Zealand has announced an interim $40 million loss after tax for the first half of 2026. That's not good, is it? That's a whole lot of yish. It's a whole lot of hail.

Well, I mean, I don't know the ins and outs of airlines, but I know how to save money. Okay. I don't know. Cut some corners. He does. He does. So by the top six ways in New Zealand can save some money. Here's number six. Reduce the amount of colours that the lollies come in.

Everybody just wants green. Oh, do you think having all those different colours? Yeah. Do you think they're bleeding money having a yellow lolly? I mean, you could just have green. I feel everyone would be happy with green or red. I go yellow over green. Nah, green.

I love it. 9-6-9-6. which is your favorite New Zealand colored lolly 966. Text that. I love that Haley's my yellow lolly friend because I never eat them. She's the yellow lollies.

So if there's like soft lollies that are yellow, Hayley will eat them and I'll be like, yes, I get the purple one. Hit me with those fruit bursts, baby. Number five on the list of the top six ways Air New Zealand can save some money. No toilet paper. I don't think.

I don't think you should be doing a plane. Yeah. Do you remember when that Ryanair guy floated the idea of two pound or two euro toilet feet. Troy said to get in, you had to swipe your car at it unlocked, and you got to go on.

I would just, I would just dehydrate myself on the flight. Yeah. That's so rough, eh? That's, it's wild, but, oh, you know, if you want,

toilet, baby, you can take your own. Which one is that's the number four on the list of the top six ways are you New Zealand can save so many. BYO chairs. Those little white plastic chairs

are a fold-out chair that you take to the beach. The chair has to be strapped in board. Whoa. You can, there's, that one's got to have holes in them so you can pin them down. Okay.

Yeah. So that's quite good. Yeah. It's an idea. Number three on the list of the top six ways that year New Zealand can save some money. People who pay more for gas get better seats. Oh, okay.

Isn't that just how a business class works? No, I know it's how it works. But when you're getting on, they're like, do you want to chip in for gas? And you just swipe your card and they just have the little thing in there. Right. But sometimes you always have that friend.

That always is a friend that doesn't chip in for gas. Yeah. Remember the days of that, like, just to go into town, you'd have to all chip in for gas. Yeah. Have you guys got your $2? Remember the days where $2 was like a decent amount to give? I know.

If you were going to like a sports game and someone's mom was taking their Mitsubishi Sport Pack van. And now that wouldn't even get you down the driveway. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Eight kids in that. Yeah. And chucking in two bucks each. Wild. Sixteen bucks.

Seemed like a reasonable amount to give someone. That's crazy. Number two on the list of the top six ways the New Zealand can save some money. I've heard we lose a lot of money through not being as aerodynamic as possible. So we lube up the planes. But won't you lose money in the process of having to get all that lube? And it will just wash off in the rain. There are actually like skins that they put on planes.

Yeah, to make them more aerodynamic. Then lube up the skin. Oh, wow. It would go real fast. It would just like slip through the air. Just like. It had made this noise. And number one on the list of the top six ways

New Zealand can save some money. Less male pilots. Do you know, women will do the same job as men for significantly less? That's genius. That's smart. I mean, there's ups and downs with women pilots, you know? Loody. But they'll do it for less and we're about saving money.

I thought you were an ally. I am an ally. I'm trying to get more women jobs. It's crazy on day 29 of my cycle. You'll say this. He's only saying this because you're in the well. Wellington Studio and you can't reach him. I know. And I reckon I could get to

the studio door to block it from the producers charging it before they could if I had to. If I really had to. That's the day's top six. Play Z-Ns, Flesh, One and Haley. Anonna Box. We're going to try this. We've just been talking about what music would go back well in the background. I think we've got such great listeners. I think we throw it up.

9-6-9-6. We do need an intro, maybe using a song, something anonymous. Yeah, maybe we go, a non-a-non-a-a-n-box. Like it could be a rap It could be a rap Like that Oh yeah Okay

Yeah She was just saying White people got no rhythm And they're gonna do that I wasn't claiming That white people did have rhythm Something like an anana box No what about

Yeah, okay, great. You know the internet's coming through

on this one. Thanks to the family that provide me the internet, whose names are completely forgotten in this moment. I'm overwhelmed. The Inkinson family. Christensen family. Inkinson. Inkinson. The Inkinson Christiansons.

Okay. Now you're going to have to sing this on your own because I'm in the Wellington studio and it will simply call it a... A no, no, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. No. No. No. No. Why'd you say no. Non-box. Yeah, I love this. A real pig behind the curtain

and how we come up with things on the show. We just jab. Probably should do off air before we bring it on here. I like it. There's no time for that during the day, is there? A non-a-box. No, no. We're out the door at 11.

I love this. So we ask a question on Instagram that we think is quite personal, it's quite juicy, something that you just wouldn't call up and talk about on the radio. Or it could be embarrassing. Yeah, so we asked this question.

This is the idea of this segment, and then you reply anonymously on Instagram and we asked Have you ever been told you're bad at sex And I will again If you answered this for some reason The producers chose to use me A Giff of me

Jeff A jeff of me Yeah Because you look like You'd be bad at sex And now I'm learning that these guys think I'd look like I'd be bad at sex We didn't say you are We just said you look

You give Is it the arm span It's got nothing to do with the arms It's all in the face It's all in the face I think it's the butter nose It might be the butter nose The butt of nose

The button nose. Are you, can you mean the button nose? It means it can get closer. No. I can get right up on it. No, please don't. Don't go into detail, worn. Shumna, shumna, shumna, oh.

Again, evidence that you look like you'd be bad. Because I said shumna, shumna, shumna, especially if you're down there going shumana shamanu. I'm sorry. Okay, so we ask, have you ever been told you're bad in bed? Yes. Says Respondee 1. My first girlfriend told me I was bad in bed. She later came out as a lesbian.

So I feel like it wasn't you. It wasn't me. Yeah, I think you can... Unless they were so bad, they changed their brainwaves. Well, it depends what he was doing as well. Yeah, yeah, fear. You know? Yes, my ex always told me I was bad and we needed to add plus one to make it better.

Oh. No word whether or not. Okay, where do you think? That person, who do you think, do you think they were a male and their female partner was saying add another? Yes. Or was it a male with a male unless he lets add another? Yeah, I feel like that. I reckon I've got by girl.

Three sims are always the stepping stone so you're about to break up. Yeah. Yeah, 100%. Um, told me I was no... Hmm. Dance around that, please, warns. Just say.

Told me I was no good at a certain son there, but still managed to finish in under two minutes. They did? Or their partner? The partner who said you're no good at this. Oh, right. But the particular thing, but the particular thing still finished in under two minutes. Yeah, but good day.

Feel sorry for any future ladies. No, that's a woman. Very good at putting it on. No, no, no, no. This message, with my reading, this is a woman that's centered in. And a man said, you're no good with the thing.

Oh. And because I feel sorry for the future ladies. Yeah. Because sometimes we'll do it just to wrap it up. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. This is shocking.

Oh, yeah. And then you're like, oh, I'm done. Thank you. No, I haven't been told, but I think I'm sure I am. Oh. Oh. Someone said, yes, I was told the first time I ever had sex. Oh, that's not very nice.

Destroyed my confidence in my teens through to my late 20s. Oh, no, we're all bad at the first time. I don't know how you could just say that to someone. Like, wouldn't you just not say anything? Or, you know, communicate and be like, want to try this, try this. Yeah, exactly. But more this, less that. I'm not bad in bed, but I was told I was a terrible kisser.

I was like, okay. And then he still took me on two more dates. Yeah, right. It's giving big tongue, eh? Now Okay you're dancing around this one I was told my rare end was Too large for a certain position

It's a nun-a-box. No! I'm sorry, what? What are we doing out here, you know? We should be left alone. My friend got told he was like vanilla ice cream with no sprinkles. And ever since then, his nickname has been sprinkles. Some people like vanilla ice cream, though.

I'm not one of those people. Yeah, vanilla's okay. I love French vanilla. So you can be boring in bed as long as you're wearing a beret. That's right. And a striped t-shirt. Okay. And I want goody-goody gum drops.

That's my favourite. And interesting. I'm more of a triple chalk kind of a guy. Triple chocolate. Dark eyes, dark skin. Why have single chock? Why have single chock? When you can have three chocks at once.

Yeah. So the skin in the eyes are two of the chocolate. What's the third chocolate? I like Colombian ripple. I was once told by an ex that she faked it just so we'd finish. and I said, hey, me too. That's a non-compatibility issue. Yeah, that's not good, is it?

We're not faking it. There we're going. I think that's a rousing first outing for the Anonna box. And we'll get into the studio and record the intro. Play, that ends, Fleshhorn and Haley. Now, Harris-Tiles has done a podcast. Now, producer Gurley's this podcast. Tell us about it.

So it's with Brittany Brookesky, who you will know from the kombucha meme a few years ago, but also big on TikTok, Great interviewer. Brittany Browski. I wish I had a alliteration. I don't think it's her real name.

I don't think it's her real name. Haley Hoseki. I don't think it's her real name. I fear it's not her real name. It's definitely not a real name. I mean, so there's really nothing stopping you being Haley Hoseki. Okay, well, that's me.

I'm Haley Hoseki. I think you're calling her a host. They definitely are. This series is based, it's called Royal Court, and the theme is like they're sitting in these big chairs. Harry has little ears on Alf is on a crown

got cloaks it's all that vibe but she just like grills these artists these like celebs and it's a great it's a great series wild because whenever we interview celebrities a lot of people might not know this but you get a lot of you're not allowed tos you're not allowed

to ask personal questions you're not allowed to ask this or that and then it's like well what is left to talk about but there there must be no limits for what she can ask him because she asks him pretty much everything yeah especially Harry Diles, he doesn't do much press, but also, Carmen and I just personally got an email from Harry Stiles again this morning.

You know he loves to email us. You're on a mailing list. Personally, he says, hey, Shannon. But there's been a restock of his vignals, but also in his email, he put a link to this video. Oh, wow. Which is huge to be, like, promoting it. He's happy with it.

Do you know what I loved about it is, so they touched on heaps of topics, but one of them was the use of Raya, that celebrity dating app. That one of us got on And it's crazy that he hasn't come across my desk You know what I mean? Yeah

Swip Swip Swiping It's actually been a while since I've seen a big celeb Have you selected? Where is he at the moment? Do you know where in the world he is at the moment? Is he in London? No, but it's global, remember because he said the only reason he was on Rayo

was to practice as Italian. Now a lot of my guys are from Italy as well My guys? A lot of my guys are from Italy. Anyway So he also Brittany asked him if he was to because obviously he started on X Factor

if he was to go back on what would he do? 1D famously started on the X Factor Yes If you had to audition again not singing What talent would you come with? So on Britain's got talent Oh Britain's got talent I can eat quite a lot of yoghurt

You've never seen a man No like remarkable amounts of yoghurt Your gut helps and stuff It shocks, my friends. Shocks them. How did you kind of figure that out? It's a little bit like, you know what? You know, like when you watch the Olympics?

Uh-huh. And there's someone on the pommel horse. Uh-huh. And you go like, like, oh, how did you discover that you were good at that? Right. It's a bit like that, but it's yogurt. Copious amounts of... Just like, you have some, and then you're like, I could have a bit more of that, I reckon.

No one has a healthier GI tract than you right here. Microbione. See, I love yogurt, too. I've been... Last night I made a butter chicken. Yeah. Greek yogurt. Yeah, nice.

It's a bit healthier than the creaminess. Here's the thing. It'll separate. It'll separate. You've got to spoon some of the... You've got to get all your Greg yogurt in a little bowl and you put some of the thing in that temper it. Then add it back into the...

Yeah, beautiful. I actually made a killer butter chicken last night. Did we get... You bring any in? I don't know if it's... Would we say it's healthy? Butter chicken? No, it's the healthy version of butter chicken.

Okay. All right. Healthyier. Healthyier. Yeah. A lot of people were loving on this that Harry was able to take the piss out of himself, including the rumours about him having had a hair transplant. Are those teeth fake?

No. Okay. No. There's hairline, no. He does have a very good hairline. Is that an admission? Do we think? Oh, I don't know.

I mean, there's heaps of celebs that have had hair transplants. They literally, you can't just suddenly have a new. complete different hairline. Harry being one of them. And no judgment. You do you, boo. We're all, we've all got plans for turkey. Yeah. He wouldn't be turkey though. He'd just be the you know, somewhere in London

or Hollywood. Yeah, he'd go LA, surely. Yeah, and then one of my final favourite parts was him describing the perfect boy dinner. Boy dinner I've discovered is just eating a rottisory chicken over the sink. Yes. But fast food,

I like burgers. I mean, a chook over the sink, so bad. I can't imagine him just seeing him at the supermarket picking up a roast chock, like a bachelor's handbag. It has a lot of running, though, so he'd burn off whatever he's eating, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'd be on a protein buzz for sure. Yeah. But it's so, it was fun to see. It's a cool interview.

He's really silly and funny, and he's got these little alf ears. And you can listen to that podcast anywhere you listen to podcasts after you listen to FVH. The Z& Podcast Network. Play Z&M's Flash for an Haley. But last night, 9 o'clock, the last four episodes of Bridget and Drop. Producer Girlies, you would have been fast asleep and not able to binge, like most people. I woke up at midnight and didn't go back to sleep. And a part of me is like, there's four hours till my alarm.

I could. But I didn't because I want to enjoy it this afternoon. Okay. Wait, so you've been awake since midnight? Yeah. Oh, Shannon. You should have just popped on Bridges. It's the time I went to bed.

Well, yeah, I go to bed early. Let's not forget. Yeah, true. Anyway, I'm very excited for my Bridgeton afternoon. But a lot, a lot of people would have stayed up last night as soon as these came out, 9 o'clock. I don't know a lot about Bridgeton. I assume it's about bridges.

Oh, my goodness. There's going to be some bridges. It's about, like, regency love and bridges. Bridges. Bridges, yeah, there's Bridges and bridges. So I thought today, because it is Bridgeton Day. Yeah. What's your favorite bridge?

It's in? No, no. What's your favourite bridge? We've got some great bridges in this country. Some beautiful bridges. I don't want overseas bridges. Wait, I've only seen the first season. Is there a single bridge in Bridget? Yeah, there was always a bridge over a lake with a castle in the back room. I mean, they cross a bridge at one point, I think, in this season over the river. See, I told you there's bridges. This thing is filled with bridges. The staircase is more important this season.

Let me tell you about Fairfield Bridge in Hamilton. That's a beautiful bridge. Is that the main bridge? No, it's a tight arch. bridge. It's one of the ones that's got a boop, boop, bo, bo, bo. And it's got lights on it at night, this guy. This guy. Oh, yeah, that's nice. So wait, you want people now, you want people now

to text in or call, what is your favorite bridge in New Zealand? Correct. I've got a question, because is this, does it have to be a bridge you drive over? Or can it be a walking bridge because my favorite bridge would be city to sea, which is being condemned. Oh, the bridge and, oh, that's an overpass.

Yeah, it's an overpass. Haley, that's not a bridge. That's an Pass. What about the bridges in Puky Kota Park, the red, iconic red? This is in New Plymouth? Yeah. I love those bridges. What's the one out of New Plymouth that you take the photo in the mountains in the background? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a bridge. That's a bridge over trouble waters. Yeah, that's a bridge. But are we just doing transport bridges? Like any bridges. Because what about the bridge through the pass? Is that a viaduct? Pass, that's a viaduct.

Technically, it's a bridge. Because the city to see bridge literally called the city to see bridge if you're saying that's an overpass. It's a pedestrian overpass. So you do just want... Also, that's being torn down, Haley. That doesn't count anymore.

No, they paused it. Fine, Simon then. I'm going Simon. Simon Bridges. No, we're asking for a physical bridge, not Simon Bridges. Yeah, well, I'm picking Simon. Okay, right. Over Ryan.

Which is the best bridge? Bridge, like physical bridge in New Zealand. I'm going to say, I just love it because it's the longest. What about the Rikaya? Someone just messaged in the Rikaya Bridge. Because it's, you're on it and you're like, it keeps going. And you're like, when's it going to stop? I remember that going over it as a kid and when you'd play that game,

hold your breath over the bridge, and Dad's like, bet you can't do this one. And he's right, we couldn't. And he's right, yeah. God, it's a long bridge. But you showed him when you passed out in the back seat. Yeah, yeah, and then woke up and vomited all through the back of his Ford Falcon. I love the Tehrwa Rewa Bridge in New Plymouth.

That's that curved. Yeah, that's beautiful. Is that the one with the... Yep, the photo. That is a beautiful bridge. And they perfectly aligned it with the mountain. It's absolute Instagram bait. Yeah, that's a gorgeous bridge.

They knew what they were doing. I'll tell you that. Can't get a car across it. No one's voting for Auckland Harbour, that thing. Which is... It is a good bridge. Like, it's iconic. There's a new high-level bridge in Cambridge.

A what? There's a Clifton's suspension bridge. I would have been needing to Google that. Do you know what bridge I love? If you're going down through Central National Park in the North Island. Oh, the rail bridge. The old rail bridge. Yeah, that's beautiful.

That tickles your tis. Okay, the clifton's... Tickles the tis. That can't be in Southland. No, the Clifton suspension bridge. I'm only getting one in the United Kingdom. Okay, that we're not taking bridges. We're not taking bridges outside of New Zealand.

I'm sorry. Local bridges only. Local bridges only. Oh, wait. There's a clifference. Dens suspension bridge. That's on me, I misspelled it. Are the listeners reacting to this?

It's popping off, man. Okay, because I did worry that this was a stupid idea, Vaughn. Someone said, what a baby, I could hold my breath over the Rakeha Bridge when I was five. Well, I'm sorry. Well, hang on. It's 1.8, it's 1.76 kilometers long. I don't think. So, no, it's, I'm not thinking of Rekiah.

What's the other one, the next one down, the longer one? Unsure. No. Well, there's a new bridge. over the southern part of Hamilton. Now they did that for the road that went through there. There's a new bridge over there. That's an award-winning bridge.

I haven't been over it. Someone's in a bridge to nowhere. Oh, my God. That's my favourite bridge. And they built this bridge because they're like, we can settle this land. Too rough, they couldn't settle it. And now there's just a bridge there

in the middle of this forest. It's beautiful. Someone said, what a terrible topic, but I do have a favorite bridge. See, it's not a terrible topic then. It's sucked you in. It's a great. You're on board.

Okay, well, to celebrate it. about Bridgeton, the fact that there maybe might be one bridge in the whole entire vast seasons of Bridgeton, we want to know this is one, your favourite bridge 9696-0800M. Oh, the Funanaki

Footbridge. Another vote for Simon there. Yeah, maybe you dipped out too early, you know? Should have stuck in there. Some feedback on bridges this morning after Bridgeton's been released. This message just in.

As an autistic civil engineering student, this is the greatest morning radio I have ever listened to. And it has to be the Teara Peca Peca Pica Bridge because I live next to it and I could stand on it and watch it being built. I could stand and watch it being built. I'm going to need to give that one a red-hot Google. I've got so many tabs open. Certainly a fantastic endorsement for your segment, Vaughn,

celebrating the launch of the Bridgeton, the new season. Nothing to do with Bridges. The radio people told us we've got to have sexy, your breaks, you three, and we just thought bridges. Jess, good morning. Favorite bridge? Taylor Swift, 10-minute version, all too well. Get that F out of here, Jess.

We're not talking musical bridges. Loophole. No, we're not doing people or people called bridges. It must be physical bridges. It must be physical bridges, Jess. But it's just a much better topic for this. Why don't you shut up, Jess? I love it, Jess.

Why don't you shut up? Just a caller of the week, please. That's funny. She's funny. That's funny. Okay, Jess. Caller of the week. We'll hook you up with a chemist warehouse prize pack.

Remember when we used Taylor Swift's song to get across that uncrossable chasm? Remember when Taylor Swift was a crucial part of the transport economy? I love it. That's funny, Jess. You're funny. Couldn't drive a train over Taylor Swift, though, could you, though? Bloody like to try. Had enough of that.

Well done, Jess. We're going to hook you up. with a caller of the week price back. It's thanks to Kimmiss Warehouse Home and the biggest brands. At the lowest prices, we probably would like you to take this more seriously, though, please dear listener.

Yeah. This is a serious show. This is a really serious show, guys. No, there have actually been so many text messages in it. It's pretty crazy. The Luggett Red Bridge is a historic bright red steel trust bridge built in 1915 to cross the Cluther. Yeah, that's a beautiful bridge.

That's red. Yeah, it's red steel. That's a beautiful bridge. That's had a couple of votes. The new bridge they opened in Taranaki. on the mountain by the ski field, Monganui, the swing bridge. That's incredible.

They're a real slut for a bridge in, you plumberth. Or they love an Instagram bridge. Love the civil engineering. They love an Instagram bait, Tadernanaki, and they do it well. The Haast River Bridge is getting a shout-out. It's a 737 metre long one-way bridge located on State Highway 6.

That's a lot of bridge. Hars. Hast River Bridge. Oh, yeah, okay. Another one for the Fonanaki footbridge. in Northland. It is the longest in the southern hemisphere connecting the north and the south

over the estuary. Built in 1947. Okay. Free access, timber structure. Have you opened up all these, oh yeah, okay. Yeah, now we're talking. Oh, that looks, I'm going to say rickety.

It looks like, it does look a little rickety. It's where they let people walk over that. Rickety's great. Rickety. Rickety. Rickety. What a great word. Rickety.

God, play rickety old place. The Ophir Bridge in Central Otago, now part of the Rail Trail. It was built between 1870. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Mom and Dad have had a photo with this when they did the road show. This guy, this guy, built in the 1800s. Oh, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful bridge.

What about the Queens Town one? They do the bungee off. That's pretty. The Cowell. Yeah. Shannon's called through Shannon, Bridgeton. Bridgeton. Hi, Irish.

Really good. Gawarro. Bridgeton is out. your favorite bridge in New Zealand, please. Yeah, I would have to say I did get my info from Jeff, but what about Ed Sharon's bridge at his concert? It's a pretty good bridge. Oh, the bridge that's a temporary bridge.

I'm not accepting it. No, but Shannon's got a point of a remarkable bridge in feet of engineering. It was phenomenal. But it went with them. No, it was a bridge to the island in the middle. So when it stopped, it was a bridge. It didn't tickle the boxes. Only Ed Shearin was allowed on it.

Oh, you're saying that the bridge must be public use. Public use. And remain in New Zealand. He took that bridge with them. You'll accept a train bridge, and that's not public use. You've got to have a train. You can go on the train. Not all of us own trains for.

It connected him from one side to another, so it's connecting to the people. She's absolutely got you there. I'll accept that, Shannon, because I did enjoy at Ed Sharon's concert seeing that bridge just come out of the nowhere. I loved it when it didn't work. You know, when he had to take the train. It rained too much. That's exactly, I like my bridges to be able to withstand a shower. To function.

Hey, what about Christchurch Bridge of Remembrance? That's a lovely bridge. That is a nice bridge. That is a nice bridge. Solid too. Most of the bridges, most of the remembrance was just like a sort of a, what do they call them? A pillar or a... A epitaph.

Yeah, and... But they were like, let's do a bridge. Or an old guy on a horse. Yeah, I don't mind those, though. Those are nice, too. Old white colonizer on a horse, say they love those. Tip a to put a toe into... Next time season 18 of Bridgeton comes out, your favourite statue?

Which is even less to do with Bridgeton. I think it's got, if anything I can say, their country is horny for civil engineering. Okay, thank you. To finish up Vaughn would we say there was a listener favorite? No, everyone's got their own bridge and I'm not here. That's, I mean, that's a beautiful thing we've learned today. You're not here to judge people. As long as that's not, Taylor's a 10-minute song or Ed Sharon's Bridge, I'm here for all of your bridges.

The ZM Podcast Network. Is this a show real? Play ZM's Flesh forne and Haley. It's Lord Greenlight on ZM and that has made Spotify's top 100 songs. Yeah, of the streaming era. Now they've made this list 100 songs.

They've defined it between 2015 and today. And they've based on not only on like streaming, you know, which was like one metric. It's also on like cultural influence. much these songs have stood the test of time and, you know, change things like fashion and... So Lord, that Lord Song, Greenlight, was number seven. That was number seven. So we'll work our way down from seven, shall we?

The top seven. Just a new idea. So... So not the top six, the top seven. I see your six. Yeah. And I raise you seven. This was an interesting one to me.

Carly Ray Jepson, run away with me. I've never heard this song before in my life. Well, that's number five. Number six was sorry by Justin Bieber, just to go for seven. I've heard that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I don't know this song. Neither.

Producer, the early, do you're familiar with the Carly Redd-Gibson? Are you familiar with Carly Red Gibson? Yeah, I listen to all of her music. It's one of my most listened to artists. Really? She's so fine. I only know her one song. Call me maybe.

Maybe. Maybe. No, her music's so fun. She loves trumpets. The ice cream? I mean, I love the ice cream. The brass and the cream. Yeah, exactly. When it comes to Trump.

Okay. Yeah. Wait till you hear Louis Armstrong. Okay, so, hang on. This computer is being an absolute mayor. So that was number five, which was surprising to us. Number four is don't start now, do a leaper. Which is the kind of song you'd expect in the top five from the last, you know?

Yep, 2019. obviously had huge influence. It's a great song. And I've said we know. Taylor Swift is next. Cruel summer. Swifties, would you, would this have been the song that you

would have picked to be in the top five? Do you know what? I would have picked this. My favourite bridge. Oh, for God. Oh my God. So let it go.

Civil bridges. Yes, but yes. You'll be happy about this next one, Vaughn Pink Pony Club, Chapel Rones. Great song. Great song. song for influence. Number one is Olivia Rodriguez driver's license.

2021, so not only for its streaming numbers, but it's like impact on pop music at the time. Wow. Yeah, great song. But yeah, it's not as like fast as the other one, so is it? Not as catchy. Great song. I didn't think this would be number one. So they've put together the whole 100 into a playlist, which is quite good. Which is quite good.

That's handy, isn't it? That's quite good. That's really handy. Thank you so much. It's quite good. It's quite good that they've done that actually. Isn't that nice? Quite good of them. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Can we backtrack to when Britain pronounced split ends, split N, said in the news bullet in the Middleetrieg. I'm happy to call it a dodgy radio connection, but someone please educate the young guy.

Right now. This is as bad as the time he said Queen Elizabeth 2. No, he didn't say Queen Elizabeth 2. That was another newsreader that said Queen Elizabeth 2. Could we run and get Bryn? Sorry, Carwin, thank you. Because this needs an immediate national apology. Split ends. Everybody knows it's split ends.

Split ends. But it's E.NZ, right? Yeah. It's when it's spout. It's split ends. It's so embarrassing. Issue an apology. I'm so sorry.

Does he need a smack? We can smack him because he... We smack him. He, because he would have grown up in the smacking era. Is he? No. How old is? I don't think he's too young.

I mean, he certainly won't do it again if you do smack him. That's the thing about it. We wouldn't do it again. You wouldn't do it again? No. Somebody said, Are we allowed to come and say hi to you if we see you tonight, Haley? Yes, you can.

No inquiries as to whether or not they want to say hello to Fletch. I've got bitchy resting face. Yeah, yeah, he looks unapproachable. I look unapproachable at all times of the day, no matter where I am. Even at concerts, people ask me if I'm sad, but I'm always very happy. Now, Bryn Rudkin. Brin Rundkin joins us. No, go on your normal one there, Brin.

Good morning, Brin. Good morning. Do you know why you're in here? I have no idea. I was not listening at all. How old are you, Brin? Are you 29? I am, yes.

Do you get smacked growing up? Are we admitting this on the radio, are we? No, we're just creeping this is your first snack or not. Vaughn was actually wanting to give you a smack. We wanted to give you a smack. Somebody messaged in. We're waiting on confirmation from the broadcast. Let's backtrack a sector where Bryn pronounced the New Zealand band Split Ends, Split NZ,

in the news bulletin about Electric Avenue. You're happy to call a dodgy connection if we can have proof, but that would definitely be a dodgy connection. Yeah. Did you say split ends? I did, yeah. Okay. Are you sure? Are you sure?

I think so. Because there's a smack on the line. Have we got evidence? Am I on trial? I don't know. Can we pull just need a second, but we can pull up the audio, yeah. Wow. Okay, because I just wait to see if a boy's going to be.

a smack. How do you feel about a smack? It was in the news bulletin. It was in the news bulletin. Yeah, I'm sure what time exactly that played. Well, it's the person who messaged them messaged an after eight, so let's assume it was the

8 break. Okay, yes. Yeah. Because I would have thought you would have known that, Brin. Oh, I think it might have just been in pronunciation, like a radio connection. Yeah, 8.5, Shannon. Yeah, I'm going to blame dodgy microphone

or something like that. Okay. Yeah. Well, we'll just wait here. Well, just before... Where would you like your smack? Should there be a smack delivered? Across the face, I reckon.

Across the face, Haley! This is one of the biggest bands our country has ever known. I don't think it's across the face. If he has pronounced it split-N-Z, it's a smack across the face. I don't think it's a smack. This is not bottom.

I think it's back of the hands or bottom. While we wait for the audio, Bryn, what are you up to this weekend? I'm not going to see the legendary Kiwi band Split Ends. No. Not going to electric have, no. No, no, just going to have a quiet one, actually. I've been such a social butterfly this week.

Yeah. Okay, what else have you done this week? Oh, just lots of late nights. Really? Late nights and early mornings, that's not good. They don't mix very well. No, they don't. Not at all, they don't.

Yeah. Padding for time here. Are you, we just padding, are we? We don't have ads to play or something. Have you been accepted on Raya yet, Brin? I've been on there for ages. I haven't found you yet. Oh, maybe we're looking for different things.

Yeah. Maybe you're out of my age bracket. But, uh... Oh, wow. Wow, okay, we've got into the audio. He's not into the old girls, all right, here we go. Okay, we've got the audio. Let's say, I am nervous.

Have a listen to see how Brin pronounced this. Kiwi legend split hands headline the event. He said split ends. Oh, thank goodness. So 4-5-3, you're going to get the match. It's because he's... It's because he goes split-ins head. Yes.

Spirthens headline. Yeah, so you just kind of rushed through it. No, he didn't rush. I think he did it perfectly. Now, Spillens head. Can I still get a split-in's head. Is it? Yes, actually.

If you opt for a smack. If you can consent to it, you're absolutely allowed. You're allowed to smack. We hear the smack? It seems kind of wrong. Yeah. Because he doesn't deserve it.

I can do something bad and Brin, you need to calm down. Purvisly do something naughty for a smack. I think we are into the same things. How have we not yet? The Z&M Podcast Network. ZM's flesh, born and Haley.

Haley broadcasted at it today from the Wellington studio. Yeah, a bit miserable outside today, guys. Gray skies, drizzly, wet, drippy, not great. You can beat it today. I'll say that. Bit upsetting.

Yeah. Anyway, I flew down yesterday after the show. For a secret project, which I'm not allowed to tell anyone about. Yeah. I've told everyone about it that I know. Dude, you've got to stop. I've got to...

I was showing a friend's... and photos, they were just like, this is incredible. I was like, I know. Oh, I haven't shown anybody any photos. I don't have any... I don't have any... I don't really have any... I didn't really have any in-person friends outside of this room.

I did a PowerPoint presentation. They were like, I can't believe Haley's involved in this? I'm like, I know. Involved in it, I know. Anyway, but more on that later. But, so I get on my flight yesterday, afternoon, and I sit down 2F, my favourite seat.

Mine's 2A. Oh yeah, but you've got someone in front of you. I don't. I've got the wall. No, that's the front. It's the window, the front and there's a bit of leg room. No, 1A's the window, hon. Two A's the next one.

Don't have this argument with me. You know I win this. Guys, please stop fighting. No, pull up the plane because it's not because two's the second row. Mine is the one where the door is. All the people walk on your feet. And then the one behind that's two, but on the other side, there's no one. You've lost touch with the common man.

You've lost touch with the common man. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Where do I get to pick our seats? Sorry, my favorite seat is... Wherever I'm put, I'm just grateful to be there. How old do they go? Fletcher's wrong. I like 30.

I like a middle seat, 30H by the toilet. I can't let this go because you're wrong because you're saying 2A and that's behind 1A which is where the legs are, where the door is. So you've got someone in front of you. Your favorite chair is a chair I'm talking about? 2F. Okay.

Oh yeah, it is. Okay, yeah, you're right. I'll just wait. I'm sorry, you're right. Thank you. So I'm sitting in 2F, mine and Fletcher's favorite seat. and the plane's boarding and I'm really tired

and I was like oh I know I'm going to sleep you know I love to sleep on a plane and then someone sits in the aisle one of my row and I'm thinking we've got a spare seat between us this is perfect Oh my God I love when that happens but you spend the whole time looking at the door

to see if anyone else is going to walk in yeah yeah yeah yeah and so I'm watching and the plane sort of thinning out a bit and I'm like this is going really really well and then MP Chris Bishish walks onto the plane.

Okay. Now I will say, and we keep this show pretty apolitical, but Chris Bishop has never received a vote from me. Right. Wait, that didn't sound apolitical. That didn't sound on the fence, yeah. No, I'm not saying anything about his policies or anything like that. I'm just saying he never has nor never will receive a vote from me.

Now, Chris Bishop walks in and he acknowledges someone sitting nearby, and I think, off he trots, you know. down the back you go. And no, he plonks himself next to me. And I swiftly just, you know, to keep it apolitical, I'm not interested in having a conversation with the guy. So I put in my headphones and I sort of lean towards the window. Yeah.

Where I fall asleep immediately. Oh, wow. Okay, yeah. And there's a 30-minute delay on the tarmac, which is shocking. Crazy that flights are delayed these days. And that's when I stand. gnaught myself loudly awake. And I don't mean like a cute one.

It was like a comical... Like that. Yikes. You do this. I do this. So bad. Like my head went hot like that and I went like that. And I just snapped awake. And I immediately was like, huh.

And I looked and I locked eyes with MP Chris Bishop, who said, don't worry. It happens all of the time. And everyone's got their headphones in. other than me, I left mine at home. So the only reason he heard you snort loudly, snort yourself awake, is because he'd forgotten his headphones. Yeah, exactly.

But anyway, it was profoundly loud, and luckily only Chris Bishop heard it. You need, because you always do that thing where you, when you're falling asleep, you jolt yourself awake because your head moves? Has anyone tried those, I always seen them advertise online. They're like the neck wraparound pillow things. I've got one. Is it good?

Yeah. No, not like the bean bag pillow. No. Not those. Because they take out too much room in your bag. Yeah, no. It's stiff like that. It's stiff.

Do they work? That, it came with that and a mask and someone to strap your head to the seat. You need to strap your head to the seat. I do. That's what you need. And you just kind of fold those little things in a bit and you strap your head to the seat and it's great because you can't go side to side. But long haul, I would put the band over the back of someone's screen. No, it doesn't.

It's not. not like that bad. You'd be able to hook it above the screen or whatever. Oh yeah, okay. It'd be hard to watch Lord of the Rings. Surely something that's on Timo. Yeah, Lord of the Rings, while there's a ban halfway through your inflate entertainment screen.

Yeah, exactly. You could just strap your head back and pop your eyes open and watch Lord of the Rings on the thing. It would be like you were in Guantanamo Bay, being forced to ingest J.R. Tolkien's. Right. Literary classic. Reimagined by Sir Peter Jackson. Okay, well, maybe that can be your birthday present.

Oh, awesome. Wow You know what? You're not getting a present now No, I want one You're not getting one Because you're being ungrateful Not with that attitude

Fine then you're not getting a present For your birthday Play ZM's Flashawn and Haley Fact of the day Day day day day Day day I do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do It's a Pokemon week here at Factor the Day.

And happy Pokemon Day to everybody. 30 years ago today, Pokemon was released on the Game Boy. And you can read, download, if you've got a Nintendo Wii, you can download Fire Red and Leaf Green, which were Pokemon games. And I flet, you'll be looking forward to that this weekend, spend some time. I'm already on the app getting all of that. I thought today we could make a look at Pikachu.

Okay, the most well-known. well-known Pokemon and in a list of the 100 most iconic well-known and beloved fictional characters, he comes in at number seven on one of the lists, just behind the Joker from Batman. Yeah, right. Everybody knows Pikachu. Everybody knows Pikachu. Who is number one on the list? Mickey Mouse. Oh, yeah, everyone knows Mickey Mouse. The most recognisable character.

Yeah. Timeless, timeless. Although I don't see like, you know, white couples going on cruises dressed as Pikachu or wearing Pikachu hats. You're not looking hard enough. Well, there are Pokemon theme parks opening up. Really? Really? Yeah, and you can get all the Pokemon merchandise. It's actually my dream to go to Japan

and go to that neighborhood that's sort of like Pokemon and there's a Pokemon museum and there's Pokemon lands and I'll just go. So on holiday, you could go anywhere in Japan and you'd do that. I go to Pikachu. Hell yeah. Interesting. Pikachu, let here's some facts about Pikachu.

Pikachu, of course, debuted today with the original Pikachu. Pikachu comes from a lot of, a lot of Pokemon Haley, you'll know this. A lot of Pokemon when translated from Japanese to English, changed their names. That's right. It didn't make sense. Like, for example, Haley.

So originally, there was one, they had a Japanese name. And that translated to lady flaps. So they had to change that one, to jiggly puff. Yeah. Gotcha.

That's right. That's right. That's right. A nod to lady flaps, but they... They aren't in a jiggle and puff, aren't they? They're known to jiggle and parf? Onwards. So Pikachu come...

Pikachu kept his name, or their name. I don't want to gender my Pikachu's. What gender is Pikachu? Ash's Pikachu from the TV show is a boy. But there can be boy and girl Pikachu's. It comes from the Japanese Omitapaya Peaker, meaning like sparkle or crackle, and chew, which is squeak. So he's a sparkling squeaker because he's based off a mouse.

I always thought Pikachu was a rabbit. I thought it was because of a yellow rabbit. But he's based off a mouse. He has over 50 different card artworks across major sets. One of them you might be familiar with is the one that Logan Paul just sold. What are you laughing at? Well, we've had a text in. I was never into Pokemon, but this fact of the day,

Pokemon Week has made me realize I was right. Lame. Lame even. I don't like it when they're mean to me. Have we done a text of the week? this week? I think we have. I'm giving it away again.

Text of the week. Thanks to anime, it's making happy happen for pets. It's a $50 anime its voucher for that, because that tickled me. That tickled you. The most valuable Pokemon card is the Pikachu Illustrator. Logan Paul sold it in February this very month,

this very year for $16.5 million US dollars. That just backs up my hatred of Logan Paul. Sorry. That just solidifies it. Pikachu was never meant to be the star of Pokemon. It's supposed to be clifery. Now, if you're familiar with your Pokemon's, but clifery was never going to be.

We're actually out of time born. I don't think we are. I wanted to pay you the... But when they are... That's a terrible. I hope I get a visit from the clifery. No, actually, Clefery evolves into clifabel,

and we all know that is a fable. Okay. It's not there. Anywhere. Oh, my God, I've been hanging out of the tooth theory this whole time. God, if I have... You two, stop it. You too?

Calm down. When they were going to launch a TV show based off the very popular video game, they kind of did a focus group with kids. And they said, we love Pikachu, which is really weird, because if you've ever played the original games, Pikachu's super hard to find. And this was the noise. Can I have my sound up?

This was the noise he made in the original Game Boy. No, this one. That one. That was the noise. That was a cool. That was Pikachu's noise. So I don't know how they were looked at that. That's the one we want.

It's so cool. Give it to us one more time. I have to hear that. It was on a Game Boy. Did you ever play a Game Boy? Yeah, I did. I actually played Pokemon Silver on Game Boy. Wow.

Cool. Anyway. Don't know I admitted to that. Let's talk more about this fairy. So today's fact, I'm meant I'll wrap this up, which is really insulting on this very day. This is some people's Christmas.

Come on. Pokemon Day. Come on. Happy Pokemon Day to all that celebrate, and today we celebrate Pikachu. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do-do do-do do-do do-do do do do do do do do do do do. The Z-AN podcast network.

Next Sunday is my Round the Bay's run. I've never done a proper run before. 8.5K doing it as part of a team. And of course you've been training like crazy. Jeez, man. I'm still recovering for. him that run a month ago. And so I've had to, yeah, just take it easy.

Just, yeah, just for the shins. Right. To recover. Recovery is just as important as running. And a lot of people don't honour that. Stretching and recovery, yeah. When is the last time you did a training run? No, I did one last week.

Last week? How many cases was it? Three. Okay. What's the start? I have yet to hit. I think the most I've done is six this year. Okay.

And then like two and a half is going to be fun. But then you add all those up together. So wait, you've done it. The total of your training runs is going to be the total of one run. Correctamondo. No, I'll cram in some soon. But I have a bigger thing, a bigger problem, which is that I cannot run without great music.

And my gym playlist is just not it. It's not a great running playlists. Okay. So I want our listeners to help me build a running playlist and on the day I'll listen to it. And even worse, I'll make my friend listen to it too. Right. When I see people doing a huge run

and then they don't have headphones, I'm like, it's so crazy because even the gym, if I forget my headphones, I'll be gutted. Oh, you know me. If I get to the gym, I don't have my headphones, I leave. I'm not going to stay. I'm like, that's it.

The gym's play music when it's not loud enough, it's not in your ears, you know? It's not the same. Particularly with running, you need that, like, energetic push, you know, and I just... You've done a lot of running, Vaughn. Do you have some go-to running songs? No, I mostly listen to, like, audiobooks or podcasts now.

Okay, that is psychopathic behaviour. No, it's not because it distracts you and you think about the story or someone talking and it takes you away from it and you stop concentrating on the fact that your knees ache and your legs ache and your back sore. And you're definitely feeling every... And you're 5Ks into a horrible run. Yeah. Yeah. I get the distraction thing, but mine is more I need energy and I need...

Yeah. You know, a really good song that has a really good tempo for running is Joker and the Thief by Wolfmother. Oh, yeah, great song. Great song. Did you tell you all the story about the joking. Yeah, was it on the hangover soundtrack? Was that probably? Was it probably?

Yeah. Well, this is what I want. You normally work so if you play it. Yeah, I don't know. I press play. It was just a Wi-Fi was catching a moment to catch up. Yeah, good running song. They are a slay.

You want a heavier or a faster or a dance song, don't you? Well... But I think it would be fun for our listeners to curate me a playlist. You know I'm a heavy girl, but I... A heavy music girl. The heaviness is really going to make the run a lot harder as well, though. But, you know, I want a good mix of your pop, of your dance, of your heavy metal, or whatever. I want our listeners to curate me a playlist, and that's what I'm going to run to next one.

Okay, so if you've got a suggestion for Haley, 9-6. 696. You can call as well. 0,800 dials in them. And I tell you what, Friday Jam's coming up soon. If some of these are bangers and their Friday jams criteria, let's get them on here. Yeah, I love that. And we can make, we'll create a playlist as well out of this, everywhere you get your playlist. So that when you're doing the run, or if you just want to, if listeners just want to have a run, this could be the ultimate running playlist.

Yeah, whether you're doing Round the Bays with me or you're just a runner, we're going to make a cool Haley's, cool, fun running playlist. Stunning. Ah, yeah. You're just listening to the song. I was actually just really into the song. It's a great song. It's such a good because it's got tempo.

It's up to tempo. It's up to tempo. It's good. Doo, do it. Run, run. Haley, run, Haley. I'm sore.

I hate this. I want a tequila. Maybe we could insert some motivational messages during the playlist. Oh, that'd be nice. Haley. Faster. Stop talking.

No, not faster. Just keep going. Don't stop. Don't stop, Haley. Don't get them. You're lazy bitch. Don't give up. Yeah.

Someone said you've got to sprinkle in a real inspirational number every now and then. Yeah, like, you're the voice, try and understand it. Yeah, but also, you don't want to lose all your ear singing in the song. Someone said, this one's a good. Can you guess what one of this?

Oh, yeah, Christine Aguilera Fider. Yeah. Add it to the playlist. But it's not. When does it get into it? You want it to start it. Yeah. That's good.

Yeah, yeah. Add it to the playlist. I'm loving this. I'm loving this vibes. Well, if you want to add to Haley, running playlist, your ultimate running songs. Maybe we can chuck some on soon for Friday Jams. This would be great for Friday Jams.

Text through 9-6996. And kind of about eight days away from my 8.5K run, which is confronting and I'm trying to hide that by doing everything else other than train for it. Well, you've got all the gear. You've got your running vest.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've picked out my undies and my shorts. I've got my vest, my glasses. I've figured out what I'm putting in all my pockets. You just haven't done any training, but it doesn't matter because you're going to have the best playlist. Thanks to our listeners. I want to know from you right now, 9669-9. What is your running go-to song?

We're going to make a playlist, and we might play some after 9 as well. Friday, yeah, four Friday jams coming up. Emma, what song should be on the running playlist? Hi, I reckon it should be, I don't know if I can say it on the radio, but WorkBitch by Britney Spears. Oh, work. Okay.

Yeah. Can you pull that up for us, please, go on. This is a big part of it. I actually started constructing this playlist. Okay. Yeah, see, that's a good running playlist. Tempo, the beat. It's called Haley's Superfund Good Time Running Playlist.

Wow, okay. Because I don't know that's what you said before. We'll work on the name. Yeah, see, this is good, Emma. This is a good pick. Emma, this is on my gym playlist. Yeah, it's on my gym playlist, but it's going on the running. Thank you.

That's a great suggestion. Thank you, Emma. And I do want a hot body and I do want a Maserati. Yeah. All of these things attainable. Yeah. With hard work. I want to party in France.

I want to live in a big mansion. Chrissy, good morning. Hello. What song does Haley need on the running playlist? I've got a really good one for Haley. I'm sexy and I know it. Oh, because she is sexy. And I do know it.

And again, good tempo. This could also be a good gym playlist as well. What ever happened to LM FIO? Oh, that's so good. I don't know. I like when they were shuffling every day. And they always, did one of them wore a speedo? I don't know if one on was.

Yes, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. This is how I roll. Yeah, this is good. Yeah, that's good. Okay, other songs are a few left-field ones. Someone said this one's like the perfect...

This is Kiss. I was made for loving you, but they said there's something about the beat when it gets going. That's a perfect running speed. Oh, no. No, this is Jesus. I hate this. I hate this. I hate that.

I hate that. Someone said Chelsea Dagger by the Fratellis. Yes? It's got a great little beat for a run. I have not heard this song forever. Do you remember this song, Haley? It was like 2000s, right? Yeah.

When kind of Franz Ferdinand and that was a thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. This one isn't wrong either. You can do it. Just for a motivational word from Ice Cube. You can do it, put your back into it. Yeah.

Yeah, I love this. Ice Cube, baby. Yeah. Love it. This will be just one of having a little. Like slow one. Good speed. Somebody else said,

Call Your Girlfriend by Robin. Great song. Had a lot of people texting in the obvious eye of the tiger, which I'm not mad at for a finish line moment. Yeah. Yep.

Someone said, Apunk by Vampire Weekend's got a great beat for a run in it. God, I love Vampire Weekend. We got to meet them. Do you remember we met them? Lovely gentlemen. Oh, lovely.

Somebody else said... Chuck Killing in the name of on there. That's perfect. Chuck is going in the name of. Bonnie, somebody said Bonnie Tyler holding out for a hero got them across the finish line in a marathon. Oh, yeah, great. It's running, this is like 80s, 90s action movie.

This is like montage music for action movie. Yeah. I don't mean to be that guy though, but she's got terrible vocal control in this song. Oh, piss off, Haley. She should have dropped it down a key or two. She can't reach the notes. But, come on.

That's motivation. Smack my B up by Provengy. No, we don't play that song. Someone said, you can't go past a bit of this for inspirational. M&M lose yourself. No, I've slowed down. Yeah, this is too slow to start with. It's got a...

Oh, yeah, there you go. No, because this reminds me of the National Party's campaign. Yeah, yeah. We keep it apolitical, but you know that doesn't get this got where my life goes. We do. Well, keep your suggestions coming in. Yeah, this is good. Keep your suggestions coming in for Haley's running playlist.

The Z&M Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh Foran and Haley. Police have noticed in the UK TikTok spreading school wars. Like schools to meet up in public places and have fights. Physical brawls. I feel like that's been happening here a little bit though, all because of social media,

or just that you see the fights online more than you used to. Yeah, I mean there's brawls at train stations and stuff. It's not. I saw two teenage boys having a brawl in Fungamatar. And I didn't know if they were having fun or trying to kill it. other. It was quite a bizarre to watch. Okay. Well, maybe they were getting something out of it. Maybe they had a curiosity about

the male touch. Maybe. It did feel like they were fighting off their gay demons. Okay, right. Well, for example, they've shared some of the posters that have uncovered these things on TikTok, encouraging children to meet and fight.

It says here, on the red side is the Arts and Media, City of London Academy Hillgate, Highgate, City of London Academy, Islington, and City of in Academy Highbury Grove will be going up against the blue side, which will be made up a beacon high, highgate wood, Sin Felicious and Aknam Burhy. It then tells you what are weapons you can bring.

Wait, weapons. Blue can bring scissors, a compass, and a mechanical pencil. Red can bring knives, steel rulers, compass again, combs and fireworks. Wait, I'm sorry, a comb up against a compass? Firework, though, against a compass. The comb is mighty.

than a compass. Yeah, but hang on, I feel like if someone's bringing a knife, that's great. You're bringing a knife to a compass fight. Yeah, yeah. That's not fair. Anyone you see from the opposite, jump them, jump them, and pressure them to record, and then send me a DM and it says, the rules are be violent. Metal compass, compasses, rulers and combs are allowed to be metal.

Rulers will be involved. Oh, my goodness. This is wild. Who'd be a parent these days, eh? Oh, my God. I know. I don't know, man. It's more and more like I'm switching off the internet

and moving to the jungle. Yeah, this makes it like our school rivalries feel quite tame, eh? Oh, yeah, like you always hear about rugby games where the refs were worn. These schools have a heated history. Yeah. Punch-ups inevitable.

State of origin between two, like, big schools. Well, this is a question we want to ask this morning. 0800,000 M, and you can text her 9-696. Was there a big rivalry with the opposition school in town? Or was it a school out of town? Well, we were a rural town in Moran'sville, we had Tearoja. It was sort of like a Springfield, Shelbyville,

off the Simpsons type thing. But we never, I can't really ever remember playing them in anything. Yeah, I can't even remember caring about the other schools, to be honest. Did you stab any of them with a metal tower? No, because we were too far apart. If we had to meet in the middle, it would have been in like White Tower, and we would have been like puffed by the time we got there. Yeah, yeah.

So I guess you did hear about the rivalries, and it did. Church. Yes, Christchurch. Someone messaged in saying any school on Christchurch versus any other school on Christchurch. Yeah, because that's why they always ask you, what school do you go to? Yeah, I don't know, man.

We're like 30 something now. Like, does it still matter? Yeah, it does. It does, because I kept my leavers jersey. Okay, so I'll wait 100. What about you with your private school, darling? We didn't have a heated, heated rivalry. It was more location base.

It was Wellington Girls was really close to Queen Margaret College. And so you'd always see each other Yeah, yeah And we were like, ooh, trash And they were like, ooh, snobs But is that as heated as it ever got? Or were there fights? No stabbing of compasses.

No. Okay, well, 0800,000M is our number. Give us a call. You can text through 9-696. What was your school and who was your rival? What your high school rivalry, who your high school rival school was and the rivalry that came from that?

Georgia Jones is in the studio from Christchurch, of course, this is a fierce Christchurch situation, isn't it? You went to Burnside? Yeah, I only chose to go there so I didn't have a rival, right? No, but there was no rival for us, we were just basically called the cabbages. But you were just the butt of all the other

high school jokes to cabbages. It lives strong in Christchurch, though, like boys versus boys, girls versus girls, it's the whole thing. Yeah, that's why whenever you meet someone from Christchurch, you're like, what school do you go to? No, that's so where. We're in our 30s.

Guys, and so we know who we know. It's like, who do I know that went there? It's got nothing to do with whether you need to private school. A rivalry. But how bad did it get in Christch? Was it the private schools or the boys' schools more? Oh, it was more like your boys' high versus St. Bates, Christ College, that kind of vibe. Right.

What are you smoothing? And then the poor cabbages is there. I know. But also we had like. Dropping your spears all on the lawn. that had to be picked up or we can mow it. We didn't help ourselves by like, like school dance motto thing was like,

boon, so, like we're a bloody tree. Oh, no. When you went to sports days at other schools, you'd be like, good boon, sorry. Okay, if you can't see that, George raised her hands above her head like she was doing some kind of... Bally dance.

Candle. Like it was a cabbage shriegel, essentially. Nicole joins us, Nicole. What was your high school rivalry? We were from Dagaville, and our rival was Ruai. Right, so. So how bad did the rivalry get?

Was it just an on-field sporting rivalry, or if you saw them, you had to beat them up? No, it wasn't even that. It was just trash talk. We just used to say they had webbed feet. Like they were ducks. Oh, like Georgia and the cabbages at Burnside. Yeah.

Good at sporting sports, though, if you've got web feet. Yeah, well, that's true. That's true. Yeah, probably. Oh, brilliant. Also, long-time listener, first-time call. Oh, yeah. I'm in Darkville as well. My mother's hometown. Great place.

Is that? You're still in Darkerville? Whereabouts is... Do we find you these days? Oh, yeah, no. I'm still here. My granddad has lived on Clyde Street. Oh, yes, nice street. Nice street.

Oh, is it a nice street. Of course it is. Of course it is on the nice street. The Sprouse. Oh, lovely. Thank you, Nicole. Have a great weekend. Some messages in.

Someone said, there was a fierce rivalry between Linfield College and Mount Roskell. Some kids from Roskell invaded our school once during class and beat up a kid when he was in health class. Here's the link to the article. Five suspended over Linfield College assault. Oh my God. Yeah, it's an assault.

2009, yeah. That's what got us talking about this, the fights between schools. Come homeed with a baseball backs. Jeez. Oh, come on. Use, just sort of flicks. You're already outnumbering. Yeah, like use some cool insults.

Spitz. Spit on each other. Yeah. Sorry, Georgia. I went to Samuel. By the way, Georgia's turned out all right, hasn't she, considering? Oh, right. For a burnside cabbage. I went to Samuel Marsden and our rival was Queen Margaret.

Oh, yeah, because Samuel Marsden was fancier than Queen Margaret. Even more expensive. Did they have private chefs so? Like you? No, they couldn't even dream of it. Get in the bin. Text her back and say, get in the bin. Also, have they had a Victoria Secrets model?

No, they haven't. Yeah. Rewa High versus J.C. high. Someone said in Auckland it was Kings versus everyone. Yeah, Kings College. To this day, feel that. What do you feel it? The Kings kids have a...

They got an aura. They come from money because it costs They got an aura million dollars to go there. This person that messaged it in has got a cell phone number with only like six digits after the 021 and back in my day

that meant you were on a plan. That means you rich. That means you rich, yeah. That meant you could afford a plan. Somebody, some other ones. All the high schools in the Franklin North Waikato area were terrible for rivalries. I'm talking.

Pukukoi, papakura, Tuukau, Waiuku, anyone could get it really. We were always... It was always shocking at sports days. Waitaki girls and Waitaki boys were and still are rivals with St. Kevin's College in Oahuamaru. They used to have a rugby game every year that was called the Blood Match. Jeez, okay.

Yikes. Carmel versus Baradogues. Baradene. Carmel called Baradone. They called them the Baradogs. Oh, it's worse than cabbages. I don't know if it is. I don't know if it is odd than a cabbage.

Yeah. No one wants to be a cabbage. Growing up in South Africa in the 80s is an English-based school. We used to have fistfights with the Afrikan schools in our towns. We're up behind the cinemas in town. They have a brawl. No weapons. That was the rule.

Good times. Where did you go to school and Jobburg, Haley? I went to the Queens, Queensburg College. Okay, and who is your rival? Private. Our house was the boy's skill, actually, and we used to, we'd bring weapons, though. All sorts.

Horns, you know, I'd bring a zebra. I'd ride my zebra into battle. You can't bring a zebra to a fist fight. No, I did. I brought my zebra, Colin. I'd ride Colin into the fight, and I'd horn them. The zebras don't have horns. Queensburg.

You know, zebras don't have zebras. Well, in Africa, darling, they do. Do have corns. In the middle of there, I think you'll think of a unicorn. Yo, no. A horn zebra, yeah. Yo. I was in a big fight between Hastings' boys and Flaxmere College.

A bus window got smashed with a chain. Jesus. What? A chain? Someone's rocking around with a chain. Like nun chucks. Now we've got to be careful because my mum works there, actually. So can we all just...

Just calm down. Nun chucks have got a stick on each end of a chain. If you're just rocking a chain, you're just straight rock in a chain. Do you know I saw a funny video going? and the supermarket picked up a couple of salamis tied together and used him as nunchucks and Craig did double nunchucks four salamis. He was doing

four spinning salamis in the supermarket. Just think about that for a second. Yeah, that is mad skills. The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Now this is something that I would call someone out on

and I would report to the police because you know I'm a stickler for good karaoke. Oh, yeah, she sucks to go to karaoke with. Never got it. She has her turn, and then she gets up in your ear about your turn. Yeah, but you point out things that the average, because you're musically trained,

you point out things that the average person doesn't know or think about or care about. I don't know, because sometimes when Vaughn's down here and he needs to be up here, it's, you know, it's fun. That's the main thing. I think we can all hear it. So this woman was arrested, excuse me, in the Dominican Republic. Oh, beautiful. country.

I know, but she's 64 years old. She's 64 years old. Her name is Amarales Brito Rodriguez. By the way, she does not look 64 years old. I saw her mugshot. I know. Oh, they don't crack. So, they just don't.

Who don't crack? Haley, who? Hot people. Hot people don't crack. Yeah, the Dominicans are beautiful people. So she was doing some karaoke and she was singing the national anthem. Vaughan, do you have the National Anthem? I do have the Dominican National Anthem.

Man, it just... So many countries have way better anthems than us. Do you reckon? Do you reckon? This is better than ours. It just sounds like... I actually quite like our anthem. Big.

Oh, our anthem sucks balls. Ours is piddly. Oh. It's peddly. It's so Jesus-based. Why is it all about God? Oh, yeah. Well, everything was back in the day.

But this sounds like ceremonial and, you know, like, it's got some unfe to it. It makes me want to much to war. How are the people who strongly and courageously into war launched themselves unto death. Yeah. Is that line? And in a warlike challenge of death, you broke your chains of slavery. These are the lyrics.

Yeah, wow. Wow. And we're all like, good, pacific. Triple star. Triple star. Guys, that's our anthem. Wait, there's a law against bad karaoke or singing or massacring the anthem. So someone had filmed it and uploaded it and it was shared around social media. then police arrested her, accusing her of disrespecting the anthem,

by performing it in an urban dance-style genre and altering its tempo. So she made it a rap or like a freestyle rap? Arrested her this week. Yeah.
