from the ZM Podcast Network. This is... Fleshwin and Haley's Big Pod. Thanks to animates, making happy happen for pets. Happy Wednesday, which means tomorrow. You've got that wrong. It's got to be Thursday.

No, because tomorrow's Laneway. We've got a short day and yet Laneway tomorrow. Is it tomorrow? I was looking at the weather. Like, my weather app has been absolutely cooked. No, no, no. No, no. The city you live in has been absolutely cooked.

It's been cooking. It's been parboiled. Like, I never get like any rain or... drizzle, but it's been raining and drizzling the whole time. It just says sunny on the weather app, like, let's sort that out. Is that 11 degrees yesterday in Christchurch? It went from 30 to 11.

It's in, yeah, look. Are we neen-yang-yang? It's an al-Nyang-Nang-N-N-A-L-N-A- or something. I don't know, Ninyo. It's El-Nang-Nang. Cracking nags into a... It does feel that way. Well, tomorrow's saying a high of 25 and a lot of 18 for Laneway.

Preciprication, zero-millimeter. but then it said that yesterday as well. I'm happy as the female of our group to have sunblock in my handbag for all of us. Oh, that'd be great. That'd be nice. I was singing at the start, just putting on a good, thick layer of... Yeah, but we're going to be there for a while.

We're going to need top-ups. We'll need some top-ups. I'm going to be spritzing around the backs of necks. Can you also take my battery pack on your handbag? I can take your battery pack. You take a battery pack? If you get lost... My phone's going to die.

You know my phone's going to die. I'll read a battery pack for you. You, I've got a good one. I want a battery pack. So two battery packs in your handbag. We'll do three. Three. Should I just take a backpack?

No, that's dodgy at a festival. People start buying drugs off you. Oh, should I bring some drugs to sell? Because I didn't finish my entire course of pseudafed. I don't know if anyone at a festival's... Wants a suitorfed. I don't have any ADHD medication. Stop asking me.

Because I haven't diagnosed me. They can't catch you. Although I had a shocking. moment yesterday when I looked around, I wanted to clean and I had like eight things half cleaned, and I couldn't concentrate on a single one of them. That was a moment. I was supposed to fold my washing

and put it away and somehow I was organising vitamins into compartments. Well, they rattled around. So you've been all if they can't catch us. I'm pretty sure everybody does that. Just gets distracted from cleaning. I know, and then you've made a mess. And you're like, well, I'll sleep in a different bed.

From the producers' birth, Carwens just said, lane and I have said no aerosol sunscreen, but She spouted no asshole sunscreen. Now, I like to sunscreen my asshole because I shan't have it do. Well, that's why you've been kicked down to festivals before. Because in the middle of the crowd, I pull the pants down, I spray it and I do it a liberal application on the asshole.

No, you put your legs over your head. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, if there's room for me to sit down. Well, saying the word asshole this many times in the morning is a nice bump into what we're going to talk about next. The most offensive words list, which has been re-released. This is the Broadcasting Sanders Authority that does this.

It was last done in 2021. Couple of new words on the list. Dance around those. Yeah, I don't know how many of these were going to be allowed to say. And just, I've been reading this sort of whole study all morning. Fascinating stuff.

I'm scared. Has it made you more cautious about what you say? You know what? I said when I was reading this because there's a specific part in there about radio breakfast hosts. Oh! The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod.

There is a massive study. How many pages 50 pages. That is fat. That's a fat study. That's a fat study. Not an offensive word. Although that would depend. I suppose the context,

because context is important. At who's saying it? This is a study conducted by the Broadcasting Standards Authority, which is a government department. Who we love. We've got nothing but nice things to say. Nothing but nice things to say.

We've only ever said nice things. Yeah. Of how words sit now compared to 2021 in the offensive scale. I love this list. We've talked about this list in the past And I think today as our little bit of pod Because every day we have a big pod for the radio show

So if you're ever, if you're listening now And you miss the show later You can always listen on Iheart radio On the IHart app or Spotify Wherever your podcast We always do a big pod And then we do a little bit of pod An extra, a bit of extra pod

And I think today we can probably delve into this more And say the rude words Because it's absolutely nuts that radio shows and television shows have all these rules. But podcasts, it's a Wild West. You can literally say whatever. I mean, you still couldn't defame someone on a podcast.

No, but that's about that. And you would be, you know, you could say a word that might offend someone and drive them away and that's, you know, you're allowed to say it and they're allowed to leave and never come back. Yeah. But yet on the radio, it's just a wild, it's, yeah. Before you said it's absolutely crazy.

Oh, no. Oh, cancel. Oh, no. Not offensive. Fuel. I actually identify as crazy, so that's my word. If you'd said it's absolutely mental, yeah, apparently offensive.

Oh. But mental, as an offensive word, is 31st on the list. But you've just said it, saying about it. Only 20% of people find it offensive. It's down 6% on 2021. It is now 6% more acceptable to say mental

than it was in 2020. Right. I just want to shout out how brave Vaughan is being by leading this break and being the one who will say the ones that feel are safe enough for us to say this morning. Because I just want to distance myself from any cancellations. Because you've got a big mortgage. But bigger than his.

Yeah. Really? Pull up their bank. I bet. I bet not. You want a mortgage off, bro? You want a mortgage off? Oh, we're about to have a in the red off.

Okay, so the N word is still the most offensive word. Fair it. Absolutely fair enough. Overall, though, only 70% of people find it offensive. What? How much? 70% of people find it totally unacceptable to use in a broadcast situation. So a broadcast situation you'd imagine

held at a slightly higher level than just a pub conversation. But if I heard that word from another table behind me were in public, I'd freak out. Yeah, same. Unless it was Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog behind us? They reclaimed? I think they would say the second most offensive word,

which is the N word, but ending with an A, not an ER. What do you mean? No, I'm sorry. I also believe it should be under one. It should just be slash. You, but it's different if people from Invacagal say it, that you'll hear the difference. Because they really hit the R.

Not the A. Or R. You know, it's different. The two different spellings of the N word are the most offensive words. Fair enough. 67. 6.7.

Wait, is the next one, the C word? Correct. I nearly actually said it. Far out. Could you imagine? I'd just go home. I'd probably just go home, do you know.

For land and country. So. That's the way that you can sort of dance around saying it. Fourth is a racist term again. Yeah. Hmm. Honestly, I'm surprised it's so high. I'm so scared.

Okay, don't say it. Again, it's not a racist term I say. But you would definitely hear this in rural New Zealand. And I'm saying what, just, just New Zealand. It starts with C. C. It's two words. First word C, second word.

word M. About consuming a meal? Oh yes. About consuming a meal. Yes. A spicy meal. Yeah, very racist. Yes.

And served with rice in an arm. Very racist. But the fourth. Now, fifth, we've got equal for three places. Three words, fifth equal. Okay.

Have we got an MF? No. No. That's 12 most offensive. That's drop. M.A. MFA. If you just join us,

this is listed the most offensive words just being released. According to the Broadcasting Standards Authority. Of the top 10, one, two, three, four, five, six are race-based. Okay. Two are...

Because there's other than, there's like different subjects and one's under, like, homophobia and sexual. Oh, is this an F, the F homophobic? Correct. Okay. F that's the fifth one. And... Bundle of sticks.

A bundle of sticks. A medieval bundle of sticks. Or that brand of coffee. That's just a brand. We love Fag's distinction. You know what I mean? Calvin's worried now that you've broken the broad game. That is the brand.

That was copied. That was copied. Yep, that was coffee. The other two that sit at fifth equal. One is a racist term. You're doing so well. But also you could say a weakness in a point of armour. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Oh, goodness me. Yeah, okay. And the final one that's, man. He's sweating. He's sweating. So where's hot on there is... It's hot. To, like, how do we...

What's that? What you call on camera? A rooster? A rooster. A rooster liquor. A rooster liquor. Okay. Yes, right.

Okay. Well, I think we'll leave the rest of the... Oh, I don't know. We'll just do the rest of this. Toboo. It's like a go of taboo. Oh, it's so... Well, I think we'll leave the bad words for the podcast special.

I'm not going to say those words out loud. But there are heaps of different finding. It's a vast... fascinating study, maybe more because this is our industry, but... The breakfast radio tolerance, though. Yeah, what's that? Why are we more... People are wildly intolerant of bad

language on breakfast radio more than other things. Shee. Shee. Hey. I don't hit the tea. Average, totally or fairly unacceptable rating across all 31 words by broadcasting scenario. Radio breakfast host, 75%.

They don't like it in the morning. We're above sports. Commentary, Radio Talkback host, Hoskin can say, mental, he could probably drop, he could say, he could say, that's mental. That's mental.

He'd be like, that's proper mental. And he'd be fine. He'd be like, the Queens did, that's mental. People are, people are far more accepting

of, oh, my Katie said. Radio callers dropping swear words because they're like, well, they're not the professionals. Every now, then we get them, I love it. Yeah.

When our callers call up and they forget that they're on here for a second, they're just having a young, I know, I know. And then they drop an F. I have a slight look of disappointment when it happens, because I like to uphold a, you know, a good radio show. We've got classy listeners.

Well, we'll delve into the list. It's really fascinating. Including, they have the list of the top most, you know, unacceptable swear words, and they're ranked. But at the end of the survey, they actually asked people to add their own. Why would you do that? They asked people, what word was it on this list? And there are some brilliant ones.

So today. 1,500 people were surveyed and almost 30 people. percent of them added some more words that they thought were offensive and some of them are very funny. I know. All right. Well, that will be today's little bit of pod, which will be up later today, wherever you podcast, IHeart Radio, Spotify, wherever you can hear that there. The Fletch morning, Haley, big pod. So I'm loving.

What's the next line? Happens so fast. You actually hate that song and that movie. He hates Greece. I hate the whole thing about it. I actually now hate you. And so there we are. Here we are.

We just landed. One of the greatest movies of all time. The sequel, however, no time for it. Sorry. Now, this morning I had a bit of a fashion nightmare, so I actually feel like a hypocrite for even reporting on some fashion news.

I've got a hot trend. Stylists worldwide acclaiming is the way to all the cool girls are dressing. Okay. And it's the way to turn an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Was it just a belt? Dad.

Skate a belt. Long one. Pull it through, let it hang down. Get your wallet on a chain. Yeah. Per of loose dickies. Boom. It could work in.

I'll tell you what it is. But this morning I, yesterday went to an op shop and I found a dress and I looked at it and thought that'll fit. Is this going to be your Laneway outfit?

Nah. Okay. I don't have a fit for Laneway. Okay. If you want fit, by the way, I think Zedem online, Instagram put up some inspoes. Yep.

And I saw one and I thought I've got those boots so I'll work for that. I'll work with that. It's a push to the social media. That's a push to the socials. Sorry, I completely missed it because it was so natural.

I was immediately, I was reaching for my phone to look up. Yeah. ZM online on all socials. Fitsbo. So I just, no, no, I just found an op shop dress and I thought that's cute and I bought it and I looked at it and I thought that'll fit. That almost looks oversized for me. Q, 430 at a.m this morning when I went to just chuck it on without trying it on to come to work and it didn't. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You didn't wash it and, like, oh. Yeah, I washed it last night. How did it get drying time? It's like this light little chiffon thing. It was like dry on the hangar by this morning. During ira. She was, she's not washing. I think you're embarrassing.

She's not lying about washing. I always wash my op-shop fines. Do you know I haven't washed? Do you know what I haven't washed? Is the dress that I'm wearing today? Now, God knows what that is. Yes, God does know what that is. You guys know what that is too.

God was watching. God was watching and he is not happy. I know. I had to chuck this on instead because it was snug on the hips. Anyway, I digress. I just feel like shit to that. Right, so it didn't fit. And so that, no, wait a minute.

I know what she's doing. She's a woman. She needs one of these. You know what? You look lovely. Thank you. You look lovely. You're so well-trained, Lord.

I didn't even know I needed that. Thank you. That's crazy. I wasn't even fishing for that. You look lovely. Thank you. What a pleasure. Well, I just found a dirty old black sack

and I put that on instead and came to work. That's it. Anyway, here's how I could make this outfit cooler. Okay. Here's how we could all make our outfits cooler this year. So wrong it's right is the vibe. This is from stylist worldwide. Fashion's current vibe, deliberate imperfection.

So we're thinking, mismatched pieces, clashing accessories or genre defying looks. It's not polish its personality. Being slightly wrong is chic. So if you put together an outfit that feels like it makes a lot of sense, like me I'm wearing black sandals, black dress, hair up and some silver jewels.

What I might want to do is chuck on a sailor's cap, you know? What I might want to do is a large man's working jacket or something that just feels slightly off, unexpected jewellery, weird shoes that don't match the vibe. I could be wearing this dress and I could just put on my gym trainers and added ass off. I saw someone the other day wearing unmatching shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the vibe.

What are they in the different shoes? Yeah. What? No. I know. That's the vibe so off, so wrong, it's right. No. It wasn't right.

So if you had an outfit that feels like it's put together, you've got to do something. They're calling it man repelling. If you feel like this will repel a man, you're on the right. You're on the money here. Do you know what I mean? Some kind of like god-awful vest.

I think you're like hiver's bloody awful hunting gear. You're actually so hot you couldn't repel a man even with a like a weird jacket. Thank you so much. I didn't even know. Was that good? Was that good? He's really. And it's crazy that that healed me in so many ways.

For example, we talked about this like enter the bloody flip-flop revival. Yeah. So you've got a nice put-together outfit, like a nice dress and a nice accessories. Jam some socks and jandles at the bottom of it And people are like, that's off, and therefore it's chic. Yep.

So do you know who does this really well? I've talked about it before, Copenhagen. Like those kind of places. The cones. Copenhagen cones. Like here's an outfit, for example. Who's Copenhagen? What do you?

The city. Copenhagen. The Danish. Oh, yeah, the fashion show. They do their weird fashion show. And they just add something that's off. Yep. So here's an example.

We've got a sequin skirt and a nice long jacket, pointy boots, classy outfit. We've jammed a grey hoodie. A cheap warehouse grey hoodie on. top, so wrong it's right. You know what I mean? Here it's like oh, it's so wrong, it's right. We've got sort of like a sort of maiden's

head scarf and some odd sort of puffer vest over a nice dress. So wrong, it's right. So I encourage today, if you're looking at your outfit, you think oh, that makes sense and that looks really nice. Try something so wrong that it's right. That it's right. That's right.

The Z&P Podcast Network. From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six. Yo, Cook Unity is teaming up with Airbnb to deliver a chef-led meal service. Take the hassle out of cooking and stuff for travelers. I saw this. I've been booking a few things on Airbnb, although I feel like they've got too expensive lately. I was reading an article that it's the loop back.

Yeah, it's the loop back to hotels again. Yep, everyone's looping back to hotels because I just like, I'll just check in, make a mess. Easy, piz. I'm not going to be a cleaning fee. I'm not going to say make a muse piss every person. Jesus Christ. That's another fee as well. They are, they're trying to make the app

so that when you go to a city or a country, you're not just booking accommodation, you're booking everything. You're booking your tours, you're booking like a chef to come into your home. It's all through them. The only time I've ever done that because it's quite normal there is Bali.

It's very normal in Bali because it's so cheap to stay in an Airbnb and then someone comes and cooks your brecky or something like that. Yeah, because it's like literally the price of the Airbnb. We didn't do. do it because we didn't want a stranger hanging around.

I've had that before in Bali and you're just hung over as anything. And they rock up at 8 a.m. And they're like, do you want an omelette? Do you want an omelette? I mean, Susan, I do. But couldn't. But I need to like. I don't think her name was Susan, to be honest.

I couldn't remember a traditional Balinese name off the top of my head. So she just went with Susan. Mardi. Marday was ours. Marday, I do want an omelette. But I just, can you come back in an hour? But come back at, I don't know, 11. The normal breakfast hung overtime.

Yeah. Yesterday was three omelets. Today it's five. There's two extra people here. Don't ask what happens. I don't want to talk about it, Mardi, but just make five. With all of these services being added into Airbnb, I've got the top six Airbnb services we actually need to book through the app.

Yeah, nice. Number six on the list, someone to work out how this weird microwave works. 30, 30, 30, 30. No, but do you know some microwaves, you've got to push something first before you put the time in? Who was it helping with the microwave the other day? And it was the most non-intuitive microwave. I don't know how mine works. They've been around for 40 bloody years.

Surely it's just simple now. I don't know how my microwave works. Your mum still tell you are staring into the microwave. You cook your brain. You put my hands up like this and looking straight into it. You cook your brain! Oh yeah, the radio waves. I've already cooked my brain.

No, number five on the list of the top six Airbnb services. We actually need a book through the app. I'll lock Smith to open that cupboard that's locked because the mistress is killing me. Oh. I know, I hate when they've got a cupboard or a door that's locked, you're like, well, I must know what's behind then. Especially if it's a big one and it's in the garage because you're just like, there's toys in there.

There's all sorts in there. There's tennis rackets in there. I went in. I want it in. I want to play with their cricket set and I'll play their swing ball. Yeah. And I want to take their boogie boards down to the beach

and lose them and they pretend I didn't have them. Number four on the list of the top six Airbnb services. You actually need a book through the app. Someone to come and do your laundry. Best part about Southeast Asia, right? Oh. I am so sorry. I'm passing you a laundry pile, literally the size of you.

And I expect that washed, yeah. Tried. for ironed and folded for $3 and I'm going to be back in 10 minutes. The way the Balinese fold your knickers is just stunning. The people of Thailand, the entire laundry. South America, it's the same, they'll weigh it.

Is it? And then charge you, yeah, it's cheapest chips. We'll come from a cooler location. That stuff is soiled. You know, we've been sweating in that all day. Fish through that. You're doing it by weight. You want to wring that out.

Ah, before you take it in. on the list of the top six Airbnb services we actually need a book through the app is someone to find the TV remote that you've lost. Go on. Do you know, my friend and I had an Airbnb at Christmas time and we were searching everywhere for the TV

and the aircon because it was like 30 something degrees, had to message the people and they had a secret book on the coffee table and inside the book was for remotes. Oh, I kind of like it. Oh, like it was a box? Yeah. Incredible. That's so

stylish. I know. That's so lovely. I've watched my kids turn it to the remote and literally throw the remote over their shoulder. And then be like, where's the remote? You need to start hiding this again. They're throwing it onto the couch and it just goes down and they're just like, I've lost the remote. Hidings.

Hiding the remote. Hiding the remote. We would have got a hiding in the 80s or 90s. Throwing a remote. It's a tough. It's a hoof. Hooft. Huffed.

Huffed it. Huffed it. Number two on the list of the top six Airbnb services. We actually need to be able to book through the app. Someone to be the referee when you have an argument when you're playing the board games that were in the TV cabinet. Yeah, great idea. You can hire an external moderator. Yeah, yeah. Love that.

Oh, genius. Yeah, arrives on a little scooter. Again, I'm assuming we're in Bali. I don't know why they arrive on a little scooter and they're like, that's actually not a word in the Scrabble dictionary. You actually can't put a pickup two on a pickup two on a pickup two. Those are the rules. You can't reverse on a reverse and a reverse and a skip and do it. It doesn't work like that.

It doesn't work like that. No. Back to your game. And number one in the list of the top six AirBember services. We actually need a book through the app. Someone to do one final sweep of the place to make sure you've left nothing behind. Even though you've done it five times and you can see nothing, Haley's charges, how many charges did you lose last year alone?

All of them. All of them. All of them. That is today's top six. Play ZN's flesh one and Haley. Not official, just gossip, okay? Hand on heart, because I know that Kim Kardashian listens to the podcast and I don't want it coming for me for slander or anything like that.

Oh, but she's a big listener. Oh my God, the amount of time she's messaging would be like, loved the big bit of pod today. Yeah, well, she'll sometimes stream the show on the iHeart ad. Thank you. That was a seamless mention. From LA, from wherever she is, Bahamas. Wherever in the world. Wherever she is in the world.

Whenever, wherever. And you too can be like Kim Kardashian and listen to us on the IHad app at work. Take us wherever you go. Kim Kardashian does not actually listen. We're not really short. We know he don't need breath. Make a lot of sight effects.

Make all side effects. Consult your doctor before. Dillabrearium. Blah, blah. Yeah, make or Seth. Migrants. I know you will die. They've been so please here,

but... So Kim Kardashian, everyone's always fascinated by who she's dating. The last season I kept... I watched the Kardashians recently, and there was nothing. She was single the whole time.

Was quite honest about the Kanye separation and whatnot. I thought you'd given up on the Kardashians. I had, and I have again. Okay. But that's okay. I respect them greatly. You'll be back. I think they're amazing.

You'll be back in the new season. You'll be back. You'll be back. You'll be back. You'll say Sir Lewis Hamilton is the latest. Oh, okay. So they actually met each other back in 20. They were at, you know, similar things.

Late December back in 2025, New Year's Eve, they went to the same party at Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party. They were seen leaving together. People said they were like, oh, reconnecting there. January, 26, private weekend getaways have been spotted as Estelle Manor in England. Oh, okay. She's been popping over to England and hang out with Sir Lewis, yeah. If you don't know Sir Lewis, Hamilton is a Formula One driver. Yeah.

Maybe the most famous Formula One driver. I think everyone knows, right? I was just making sure. Early February, they were spotted together in Paris. So this was yesterday or the day before. Okay. Private dinner. Oh.

Seen leaving hand in hand. So, okay, so that sounds like they're dating. It does sound like they're dating. Now, I'm not one to speculate, seeing two platonic friends hanging out together, that they must be dating. That's absurd. Do you think she's like, God, it's so nice to finally have a rich boyfriend. Kanye was a good at it. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Pete Davidson definitely had some. money. Yeah, but not in terms of like... Chris Humphreys. I probably had a couple of buck on him. Yeah. I mean, she's certainly dated no one less than a millionaire. Yeah. Well, apparently this is very, very fresh. Keep your eyes peeled

for confirmation. The ZAMS podcast network. Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. So silly, silly, silly that... To fill a little poll, would you rather have one more finger or one less finger? Six fingers or four fingers per hand. When we did

it, when we did it on the video that we posted yesterday and we kind of put an extra finger in there. It did kind of look cool. You'd be out of grip more. If I was to choose, it would definitely be, it would have the dexterity of the thumb. And I'd have it on the other side. Yeah, two thumbs. But if I had that finger, I'd have a finger between my thumb and my...

So you'd go into finger. You'd go extra. Oh, yeah, definitely go extra. Imagine the scales as a pianist. Oh, yeah, it'd be all go. You'd have to relearn all your fingering, but it would be incredible. I was just thinking about tough to open jars. I reckon you'd be real.

Extra bit of grip. Yeah. Extra bit of grip would rule. Well, 55% of people opted for one more finger, and 45% of people opted for one less finger. Either way, 55% said, yes, I'll have another finger, and 45%... Yeah, pretty close. Yeah, either way Macpacking Catman do I'm going to make extra winter gloves for us

with either one less finger or one more. No, I just go admitting. But also, you could partner up with someone that chose the one less finger and get their finger off their glove, stitch it onto your glove. They could sew up the hole. kind of work together. Yeah, that could work.

Manick says, I see the functionality of the extra finger, but one less finger would look way less creepy. Yeah. Like AI or cartoons or something. Yeah. Or AI always adds one. And that's weird. On the fingers.

Yeah. B said, I would take another finger to support the other fingers when I try to take all the shopping bags from the car to the kitchen and one go. I love that. Max grip. And all the fingers are just doing their own thing. Do you guys do that thing where you're like, I don't need a basket today at the supermarket?

And then you're just like, Arm cradle. You've got jars, you've got bottles, packets. Loaf of bread on top. Both options says Michael remove being able to flip somebody off. No, they don't.

You could lose your little finger, you can still flip somebody off. And if you had an extra finger, you can still flip somebody off. It's always going to be... Is he just saying it'll be out of order? It'll be... If you have six, it won't be the middle finger.

It might look a bit odd. It wouldn't be the middle finger. It would be like me doing that to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that still feels offensive. No, it doesn't. though, you're kind of your see. No, it doesn't.

He said, but having one extra finger does mean more admin for clipping nails, cracking knuckles and ADHD table taps. All the nail technicians, like Sophie, they'll love it. No, they'll have to up their prices. Yeah. That's two extra fingers I'm saying, they're going to love it. Oh yeah. Yeah, totally. More money per customer.

Take my right hand off my right finger any day. He's just giving up that finger, by the way. Becky said, I don't want an extra one. You'd need to buy custom gloves and stuff. Yeah. My mum literally has one less finger due to a disease in her hand had to be amputated. See, that's not what I'm talking about though. I'm just talking about you never had it. But anyway

let's see what she says. And the doctors do such a good job, people never even notice it until she goes for a manicure and they get a fright if you don't warn them. How would Sophie deal with that? Sophie that loves the phone ins on the show. My now gal Sophie, who loves a phone She wouldn't get a shock. She wouldn't get a shock. She's a professional.

Well, do you think that she would... Is she a professional? Offer a discount? No, she doesn't work a professional. No, but she sounds a voice. But she is a professional nail. But she is a proficient nail tech. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. So it's her mum's pinky finger on her left hand was the one amputated and it just rounded off. She moved her engagement in one finger into the middle finger. Oh, yeah. So it's less obvious because you see the rings. Yeah. Lovely.

Having an extra finger and being from invicargo would make jokes relentless. Oh, I'd have to go for one less finger. You're right there. Than one more finger. So for today's silly little poll, we said, would you rather have one more finger or one less finger? And only just, people would rather have one more finger. The Z-D-N podcast network

Well, he's got millions and millions of views and likes on TikTok and Instagram He's got a podcast, he's coming to New Zealand for a live show Welcome to the show Max Bell-edge Am I saying that right, Bell-Ege? No, Balegda. Very close. No, no, no, listen to this. Max, this is AI.

Max Bellegdaam, the TikToker, pronounces his name as Max Bellegge. It breaks it down. A, as in Baddelleg. or cat and the edge sound like edge rhymes with hedge. I think you might be wrong, man. That's incredible, yeah.

Yeah, do you know what? If AI said it, it must be true. Completely agree. I'll change it. It must be confronting to know that you've been saying your name wrong all this time. My grandmother reapplied for her passport

in her 80s and realized she'd been spelling her name wrong her entire life. So it's possible. It's possible. That is possible. My dad did the exact same thing. He's called Glenn

and his entire life he spelt it with one end, checked his birth certificate about two years ago. Two ends. Why do they... I think that's called fraud. Yeah, it is. Why did Glenn's add an extra end sometimes? Two N is the best Glenn.

No. One N is not enough Glenn. One N is a glen like a clearing in a forest. Little bunnies and such. A toad still belongs in a Glenn. A Glenn is two ends. It's so weird that you say that. I have a tattoo on my lower back that says one N is not enough Glenn.

Oh, wow. That's crazy. That's crazy. It's such a crazy. Crazy interview. Now before we get into the fact, Max, that you're coming to see us in New Zealand very soon. Let's talk about TikTok because you've got like nearly 500 million likes, millions and millions of followers, all from your fantastic interviews with celebs.

Where did this start for you? How did you go from I'm going to start a TikTok to hundreds of millions of likes? During the pandemic, I was a tragic student that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. And now I'm just a tragic adult that has no idea, to be honest with you. But it was, it was literally just posting out of complete boredom, having a laugh, having a joke around with my friends. And then as soon as COVID ended, I remember I got recognised in the street and I'd hit a million followers. And I was like, what the hell is going on? Like, this is weird.

Why on earth did he want to speak to me? Like, and then I started to get opportunities off the back of it. Radio One over here in the UK asked me to do a red carpet and I was like, I am highly unqualified. I don't know why this is happening. But it went really well

and it just kept evolving and evolving. I've been doing it for five years now. Now it's my full-time job and it's just mental. That's so that is the thing about a red carpet. Fletch and I did a red carpet recently and everybody is really professional

and we've been doing it for like 20 years and we were just like, we might as well have been on day one. I don't think you ever get used to the pressure of a red carpet. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, it's such a high stakes environment. I remember my first ever one. This singer was really mean to me, and it was my first ever interview. Okay, let me say. Name it.

Say that. How is it? I don't even know if, I don't even know if she's that popular in the UK. She's, no, no, now I'm sweating. Oh, she's. She's a dance, like, she has a lot of dance vocal songs. Okay. She's really mean. Right.

People will probably work it out. Big UK singer, one of Brett award, dance vocalist. Very, yeah, she was, she was so rude to me that people actually have to come on to me afterwards. It's not the jet two lady, is it? No, no. She doesn't have lots of dance songs. I wish. I wish.

You wish the jet two lady was mean to you. And then I was like, wow, is this what all interviews are like? And then I've learned actually that the most famous people are usually the nicest. And I've just found so much comfort in finding relatable moments with these people that have incredibly unrelatable lives. And that's what I love about red carpets and interviewing and everything like that. Who's been your favourite celebrity to interview then over the course of the last five years? Oh, God. I'd say the most crazy one was I did a sit down.

30 minute interview with the cast of June 2. So it was me, Zendaya, Timothy Shalame, Florence, Pugh, and Austin Butler for 30 minutes. Oh God, that was literally like, oh my gosh. Like, I mean, you guys all know, imagine how many people were in that room.

They could not have been more lovely. And I'd say my favorite interview that I've ever done was with Millie Bobby Brown. I've seen that, just a year ago. Oh my gosh. Like she, that was a big one for me

because it's turned into a big partnership that I now have with Netflix. and I do a lot of their red carpets and everything. And I've got to interview him multiple times. We actually bumped into each other at Soho House the last time I was in L.A. And she came over to me and she's like, oh, I remember you. That interview was amazing. How are you?

I was like, Jesus Christ. This is mental. So that's got to be my favorite. Okay, so you come into New Zealand. Will this be your first time in New Zealand? Yes, I'm unbelievably excited. My sister-in-law is a Kiwi. She has hyped up this country to me since the day I met her.

I also got to do, I did I'm a celebrity get me out of here in Australia and I was with Harrison, who's from New Zealand. He's one of the Bondi Beach guys. Oh, yeah. And oh my God, I would literally sit with him for hours a day and he'd just be talking to me about how much he loves New Zealand, how beautiful it is, how amazing Auckland is. So I just cannot wait.

Of course your sister-in-law's a Kiwi. We love marrying palms, eh? We'll go over for a little visit and we'll find one of you. So this is for the useless hotline podcast tour. It's at Sky City Theatre Tuesday, April 7th. What can we expect from the live show? So my podcast, I do it with my bestie George Clark, who is very well known on internet and all sorts as well.

I'm the fit one, so that's a big burden to carry. Yeah. Because I'm just so much more attractive than he is, obviously. Oh, we feel that. Yeah, we feel that, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you can expect a lot of banter kind of like that. We just really go through the essence of our podcast, which is called the Usess Hotline, because people send in dilemmas and we give them terrible advice.

And we pretty much do that live whilst talking about ourselves, poking fun at each other, talking about the city that we're in, and we make it into a big production. It's a lot of fun. And we've still got tickets left for our Oakland show. So please go to our Instagram, go to our bio, and get some darling. Oh, look, you did your own plug and everything. This guy love that. Absolutely professional.

Max, thank you so much. And feel free to change your name. I think Beledge is lovely. I think that's the conclusion we've come to after the years. Yeah, we were all wrong. Glenn with two ends. Glenn with two ends. It's always with two ends.

Max, thank you so much for chatting to us. We can't wait to have you in New Zealand. Play ZN's Fletch, one and Haley. Now a man has lost his patience. He has, they've been sitting on a tarmac for a long time. In a plane. In a plane. Didn't that happen to you?

Yeah. Recently? Multiple times recently. You were on a time act for hours, eh? Yeah. Oh, I think it was like 90 minutes, but they were also struggling with aircon as well. And you know I don't like being warm. I don't like being warm.

It's not a pleasant thing on a plane. So he opens the emergency exit, climbs out onto the wing. Now, that's the sort of thing that's going to get your ban from flying. He climbed onto the roof of the plane. Yeah, he climbed out, onto the wing, and then I'm onto the roof. I just opened this story. I was like, I want to see a man on a wing. Do you see some people post, and it's always flight attendants or pilots,

they get in the engine and they stand there? Who does? They always post photos. There's always photos online of, like, people standing or sitting on the engine. I've never seen. Yeah, they do. I'm not friends of other people who are working aircraft. Man, this guy is like on the...

How did he get there? So he's in socks. I'd imagine those would be slippery. It would be slippery to get on top of the... He's been to jump recently and he's got those socks that always give you the trampoline part with a lovely little grip on the bottle. This is the equivalent of, you know,

the Jetset Star and Air New Zealand fly around New Zealand in A330. He's just had enough. Open the window and got it. That's insane. He's lost his mind. Yeah, and he's lost his ability to fly internationally too. Oh, really?

Oh, wait, here he is in his undies. Gives a Gaze? Oh, he's really good. I would not rule out this happening to me if I was on the tarmac. for two hours just absolutely losing my mind. Let us out. You know, pull side with a cocktail and that's sort of where you were heading.

Yeah. We would get down to your undies. Screamy, chuck a screaming baby in the max. I reckon Fletcher be out on that wing in about 45 minutes. Yeah, hell yeah. Or I just open the front door and go down the slide. I'll just take the fine and the rest, you know, like at least I'm out. Get me out of here, get me off his plane.

And all of your travel now will be primarily cruise based. And on Intercity. He's here 24. He's really lost it. He's not having a good time of it. It's not having a good day. I don't expect anybody's popped up in a door and climbed on the roof of an A330,

but I want to know when your patience expired and maybe you act a little irrationally. And looking back now, you can be like, yes. That was a smidge irrational. Do you know a lot of it I think would come down to either like being locked in a hot plane or hunger? Or menstrual. Yes.

Hunger though, for sure. Hunger, heat. What's the worst way you've lost your patience? What have you done? I'm happy to say I've never been like rude, rude to something. You know, I've never like lost it at a server or anything like that. I think the most frustrated I get is with myself if I can't do something or like a tool or a thing that's not working.

You're like, oh, you're so thick. I punched something once and just hurt myself even wild. I ripped my shirt open, my buttoned shirt open like an animal once. And I was so gutted because all the button, not only did all the buttons, fly off so I couldn't even sew them back on but all the holes ripped so all the holes where the buttons were tore up. Oh yeah so you'd have to

find sort of a set of bigger buttons. Yeah and it was like the perfect shade of pink. It was just, yeah, anyway that shirt was ruined. Well this is what we want to know this morning. 0800 atm. Text us 9-696. When did you lose your patience and maybe react a little irrationally?

Like a guy opened the door of a plane, got out onto the wing climbed onto the roof of the plane because they were delayed two hours on the ground. Had enough. Had enough. May have been a bit sorry. Snap.

May I had a couple of whiskeys. There's some good messages in on this. I love this. When perhaps the irrational act didn't quite measure. Yeah, you just lose your call. Flip out. Brittany, what happened? Hi.

So my husband absolutely loses his mind every time he tries to put the duvet cover on the duvet. Oh. What are those things? We got semporn. Duve domes. He needs duvet domes. Dove domes. Brittany.

Yeah, I think we need to because he literally, we did it in the weekend and he had to step away. He was like so flusters. Yeah, I get it by man. I mean, I'm going to give my technique, but you know when people are frustrated at something and you tell them how to do it, it's only more frustrating.

But you turn the duvet inside out, right? No, that's so... And then you're going to go out and then you flick it. And then you just shake it. No. Just put the roll technique. Ram a corner. Pull it down. Yes, exactly.

Shake it out. No. Yeah. Right. So he just loses his calling storms off then. Yeah, he just can't. can't do it? And he's like, I've had enough. And I'm like, okay, I'll do it. Don't even need a duvet.

Brittany, does he come back afterwards and say, I realize maybe I shouldn't have stormed off and that it was that big a deal? Or do we just not mention it again? No, it's just not mentioned. Okay. When's his birth? Oh, you know, Valentine's Day. You still need to wash it. You still need to take it off to wash the duvet. Yeah, but it's easy and it'll be easier for him to clip it in because he's obviously having an issue with getting the duvet in and staying.

I just wonder if this is just Brittany, a task that you absorb and he can absorb another one, and we just don't do it. It's definitely a pink job. It feels like a pink job. It's a pink job. A pink job. I love that. Brittany, thank you.

Deborah, when did you lose your call? Hey guys. Last night, actually. I came home after a very long day. Mum kindly made a Thai green curry, which I asked her to do, which was awesome. And then I got home, and I was so hungry. I just lost it because she hadn't put the broccoli and green beans in.

She's much, man. Screw her, man. Screw her, man. Can't you put that in yourself? Yeah, I know. Well, then my partner piped up and was like, look, I'll just steam some broccoli. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. Deborah and the divas, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get it, though. When you're hungry, eh, it's just everything gets you. Oh, absolutely. You know, and when you're like, great, I want to get home and it's going to be ready, yes.

And then, you're like, where's the greens? Yeah. Where's the greens? I love to come home to a green curry, though, any kind of curry, delicious. Oh, yes. Was there narn though, Deborah? No.

No, we don't do the narn because it's a Thai curry. Oh, Rodin. For the Indian curry. Yeah. Okay, yep. I mean, I'll cross narn cross-curries. I'm not...

Oh, that's cultural. My cuisine is not your costume. Wow. I just put a nice whole grain toast in there a bit of ogles. Oh, yuck. Debra, thank you. Carter.

And you know what, thanks to the people messaging in that the inside out duvet tricks the way to go on putting a No, it's not. It's not. It's unnecessary. You're making it so much more complicated. You're just not. You guys are ramming a corner.

It's not going to work. You're still going to climb in the corner. Grab a corner shoved in the corner. Carter joins us. Carter, what's your favorite way to put the duvet into the duvet cover first? To be honest, I don't have a favorite way to do that. I don't think. Does anyone?

Do you do it? Is this not something you do? Or is this a pink job? No, pink job, man. Pink job. No. You better. You better be building some boxes or something, Carter.

When we're kids we didn't have duvets, we just said, what are those things? Quilts. Just a cover. Yeah, coverlet. Oh, yeah, he just had a blanket. He just had a little blanket. He just had a little blanket. Carter, when did you lose your patience and you'd lose your call?

Well, it was the day before New Year, and I was working the drive-thru at McDonald's, and some lady at about 4 o'clock was getting angry. Her ice cream wasn't being made. The machine was down for making. Okay. It's the last day of the year. All I want is an ice cream. Well, she got a little bit too heated during the argument.

I was trying to explain to her that, you know, this is when we clean it. And she was just throwing some really rude words out there. And she hadn't to get a frozen Coke as well. So as she was driving off, her window was down. And I just kind of threw it in there. Shut up. Carter! No, you did not.

And did she stop the car back and up and said, I am not. Do, do, do, do. Love on that. Well, she actually, she didn't actually turn. Like, I thought she would, like, kind of come and, like, like, slamming on the door. and everything, but she'd drove off and, I think, just, and just tabbed, I think, yeah. She just took, wait, so, wait, you coat bombed her, of course she's, you, mind you,

wild, wild that the ice cream machine wasn't working, the frozen coat machine was. Yeah, that's wild. Wait, so she didn't even complain, Carter? No, she did not complain. To be fair, she was saying some pretty terrible things, but, uh, but, uh, yeah, so she didn't even turn around or come slamming out the doors at 4 a.m. She just drove off and never saw her again. That is absolutely wild.

I sort of want to know what she was saying. Maybe wait there, Carter, and we'll just read a few messages and then we'll hear some of the slurs. Yeah, well, I could just put them on cue and we'll just make the listeners way. Okay, wait there, listen. I'll just turn the music card. We'll be back. We'll be right back. We're back on here.

We're back on here. We're back on here, Carter. So please refrain. Where's my broadcasting standards are through? That word's up there. That word's up there. That word's up there. I think it's the third most defensive one.

Just for listeners, and if McDonald's is listening, this woman deserved it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's incredible, Carter. Oh my God, I just got a loud environment warning on my watch. That's how disgusting that word was. Wow.

Carter, thank you, wait there. Some messages in, when did you absolutely lose your call? Pre-metapause. One of my teenage kids pissed me off, so I threw the Christmas tree across the road. Wow, that's so good. I can't even remember what it was about. It's like, the Christmas tree.

I lost the game of FIFA on the PlayStation when I was 13. I punched a hole in the wall, and I was like, oh, man. so much trouble. Yeah. So much trouble. Inside Out tricks the way to go. Thank you very much.

We're not talking about how to put on a duvet the slow way. Inside out for the win. Yep. The trick is switching to comfort is. Comforter. That's what I grew up with. Yeah. I've got a summer comfort.

Yeah, quilt. I think if you were the kind of person that has to inside out the duvet, you're a bit. It's just like why are you making it? So why you have to go and make things so complicated? Yeah. I've just come up with that. Yeah. have to go make things so complicate.

I've got a song. I've got a song coming out. I'm going to write that down. You reckon that'll be a hit? Yeah. Something to me out. I made a curry for my partner who is both keto and hangary.

Now I feel if your keto, your hangariness is on yourself because you've made your diet very difficult to us. Go have some cheese. Made the mistake of putting a teaspoon of brown sugar in the curry. She lost her shit. Basically tableful. I'm sorry,

but you know I don't like adding sugar to things, but you have to add a sugar for the balance. That's what they do in Thailand. Deliciousness. Yeah. My partner will stand in our small, definitely not room for two people's kitchen while I'm cooking. It gets human and hot and disgusting in there

and he'll get it my way. I've screamed at him on many an occasion. Just lost you cold. He just wants to be near you, you know. He just wants to be close to you. I was arguing with my 15-year-old son this week. Got so angry because there was no reasoning with a 15-year-old and he was following me down the hall.

I slammed the door on his face behind me. Somebody else said, I lost it at my 3-year-old this morning. wouldn't eat the breakfast and did, I went old school parenting, opened her mouth, shoved it in, shut the mouth, pulled the spoon out. Like a cat, would you tickle its chin

to make it swallow the pill? Yes. Old school. The Z&M Podcast Network. Play ZDM's Fletch for an haley. Now, I know that fashion is cyclical because I remember when I started wearing things and my mum would be like, God,

oh, I used to wear that in the 70s. God, I should have kept this. And sometimes I understand. Why? The classic skinny jeans they kind of come around and whatnot or you know your big skirts or whatnot.

This one, we can't. We can't. I wore these in I reckon 2002, 2003. They're calling it the 2000s Angel look. It is a stretchy band of lace that we

used to pull down and wrap around the top of our jeans, which were flares. And it was like a faux kind of belt thing. And you would wear it to look like you had a lace singlet coming out the bottom of your top. But you don't wear it under the t-shirt.

You wear it over the top of that. Was that not part of the shirt? No hon. I always thought they were... We were in faux belts. I thought they were always sewn into the bottom of the shirt. They were their own entity. They were their own thing.

So you used to be able to buy these from like HPK, glasses, farmers. It's very Avrilavine. Very Avril Lavigne. She actually had that song complicated. Why did you go make things so complicated? No, I just came up with that song just before. Because Vaughn was saying he folds his duvet inside out to get the duvet into the duvet cover.

And I'm saying, why do you have to go make things so complicated? Then I thought there's a song in there. Sorry to break that to you, but it's been done. See it's writing itself. Yeah, I'm not sure. I cannot believe. So some companies are like remaking these and the, I'd say we're almost moving into alpha. Z cusps

are wearing them. Oh dear. You're not going to lay. No, I don't. No. No. That's not a convincing no. No.

That's a bit better. No! We can't win these. This is so triggering. They've got these little long-sleeved tops with a V-neck t-shirt on top and this lace bow pulled down over low-rise jeans. What is happening?

Is this what it is? Is this what aging is? I mean, I'm just shook. as a millennial male that experienced these that they weren't part of the singling. Life is a whole... I'm questioning everything. Also, obviously just shows that you weren't lifting up me.

I wasn't taking them off. I wasn't taking them off. Play ZM's Fletch for one and Haley. State of a boys' house last night. Yuck. Semi-soft. You don't hear about the Cooties. Who still?

They have Cooties. There's a Cooties outbreak because everyone stopped getting their Cooties vaccine because they were going online and doing their own research. Oh, yeah. So it's like one of those old historic diseases we thought with eradicated kudis and kudis is coming back. Yeah, and boys have them.

Boys have them. But yeah, that was a nice soft launch. And girls have them. I thought boys were all girls' drill. No, no, no, no. I mean, girls were all boys' drill. No, no, it's everybody's got kudies. We've all got kudies right.

My boy kudies are boys kudies. Right. And I'm a girl's kudis. The kudits can't max or they create a super kudis. Well, look, you've stayed the night. You've got kudies. I've done more. More than share cooties of this man, don't worry about it.

Don't come near me with your cooties. Spinning's back for 2020. You're going to have to shave your hair off and get a cooties wash. Get a cooties in the time. Far out. Okay, well, stay tuned next week for my board launch. Anyway, I stayed at a boy's house last night, but I was quite tired yesterday. About 7.30, I just ran out of steam.

I just went to, like, powered down. Finally, you're going to bed at a sensible time. I know, right? Showered, sorted, like everything's right. 8 o'clock, I was like, hop into bed, maybe put on a movie, I'll drift off, don't expect this stranger to, to, completely stranger to me, to go to sleep at this hour, but I need to. Yeah.

That's, get, none of that, none of, no, I'm going to sleep, right? Get into bed. Perfect, 8 o'clock. I'll be asleep by 8.30, that's an 8.30, that's an 8 hour sleep, like a normal person. Then I hear this. Oh, she's up to do. I did tell me to dongle. I opened my payway.

She opened her Apple wallet. Oh, yeah. Okay. It's cricket season. It's cricket season. It's cricket season. That's all right. I thought that's a cicada.

No, you idiot. You're damn full. Cicators. What is your, boy, what are you going? Your ear full of cooties. Cicators. I thought those. No, that's a cricket.

That's those little black. Little black ones. Hoppy crickets. No, they don't make that noise. Yes, they do. Can you bring up a cicada noise, please. You play me a cicada. Do you know what?

believe women, Fletch. That is a cricket. That is a black-filled cricket. When it gets dry, they love cracks in the ground and they live in there. Yum-N-N-N-N-N-Yom. Okay. That's, okay. That would drive me crazy.

Okay. Cicator sound. The sound of the New Zealand summer, here's a cicada. Wait, is this thanks to the... This is thanks to the Christensen family, because I'm on their YouTube. Family plan, meaning a way. Shut out. Just out.

I don't know where this is going to start, by the way. Oh. That, that's a house. Oh, okay. they're more of a it's more of a right, okay that's easy to sleep to

because it's kind of a white white noise white noise yeah yeah this okay that's horrible high pitched

yeah yeah now this gentleman um bedfellow my bedfellow suffers from what is it the 1800s I have a bedfellow

this bedfellow of mine suffers from tinnitus So he has a general ring. That's when you stand on a rusty nail. No, that's tetanus. Tinnitus is the constant ringing of the ears, right? Yeah. So I said, and I've got sensitive ears, you know me.

Not yet damage from years of radio. I was like, can you hear that? Can you hear that? No, no. And I said, shut up! Wait, how did he not hear that? Because he played too much tennis, and he got Tentitus. And he got Tennis.

No, that's Tennis Albo. Oh, is that tennis elbow. Tinnitus or Tinnitus is a ringing of the ears. Couldn't hear it. So I was like, silence everywhere, and then we discovered it, right? So then I'm like, we've got double glazing on this ranch slider, but we've located it's somewhere near the ranch slider. Out we go, it gets quieter.

Where she says we've got double glazing, like it's your house. Yeah, that was an ownerous. What are you hard launching a joint assets? Not at all. Not at all. No, no, no, no, no. It sounded like a joint asset's hard launch. Why have you got a page open looking at puppies?

I don't. I'm not getting a dog. They're getting a dog together? We're not getting a dog. Right. We're not going to get a dog or sharing insurance policies. Why are you on Elevate? Why are you on Elevate?

She's furtough. She's trying to have a baby. What's the what's the Elevate? L.H. I mean, thing is? Anyway, his ranch slider. And what we discover is it's not inside. It's not outside.

It's somewhere in the ranch slider mechanism. Oh, yeah. in there, he loves a tight hole. He's in a tight hole. Right. So this is just going... Gas him out with some black flag. Yeah, I hit him hard with a rain. I go to the garage. I receive. I retrieve black flag. I spray the entire window. I spray every hole and little slider. Nothing. This is all night. All night. All morning.

Wake up this morning. What about a hose? 2 a.m. 3m. Yeah, dude. Flood the ranch slider. Flood the round slider. But the bit that it was in was in the inside bit. Not the outside. Yeah, flood it. Because they've got those draining holes

for when condensation comes in and it has to go out somewhere. This was my whole evening. I hate it. So how much sleep did you get? I think like three collectively, broken into three minute segments. I went to bed late

and then at 2 a.m., the troubles of the world awoke me. We should have... The troubles of the world popped around for a cricket. Popted around for a little cricket. Because I couldn't think of anything else other than at cricket.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm the same once I focus on annoys it. Yeah, yeah. Do you know what I hate, though, about my sensitive hearing and my bedfellows, not sensitive hearing? The audacity did to get a message this morning, how'd you sleep? I was punching him through the phone.

Because he's used to sleeping in a tent so much, you've got tentitis. Yeah, no, it's tinnitus, but you're so close. I know, I've never heard of it. So close. Weird, because I thought you were a doctor. I am, not an ear nose and throat. Not an nose throat.

Right, just throat and nose. The ZAM Podcast Network. Kilda, good morning. How are you, Bryn? I'm good, thank you. Yeah, not too bad. Running you were sick. You were away then?

I was, yeah, I may have partied too hard. Oh, darling. You lost my voice. I lost my voice, yeah. Oh, because I had a cold. I had a very sudden and hard head cold. Yeah. And then I thought maybe you'd also caught that.

Caught that. No, no, I was just irresponsible. Yeah, I lost my voice. It's very big of you to admit that. Yeah. Have we learned our lesson? Probably not, no. Yeah.

Okay, well, if you haven't heard the segment before, this is not enough for the news news. Haley has, we've compiled a whole bunch of stories from the news world that weren't enough for Brin's main news bulletins at, you know, 6, 7, 8. That's right. The boring news bulletin, yes, no offence. Yeah, yeah, all the sad kind of, you know, heavy series.

So we compiled the news bulletin, and the first time that Bryn reads these stories is the first time he's reading them. It's the first time he's reading them. It's actually the first time as well. I mean, we're always here to make the company money. Yeah. We've got four sponsors.

Wow. So I don't mean to, you know. The pressure. Ritz your skills for money, Bryn, but we're all here to make the company money. Does this affect your journalistic integrity? Brin, obviously, if there's sponsors, you've got... Absolutely not.

No, I'm here for the money. No, no, no. Wait, no, we haven't actually made any money, though, have we? Have we not? No, so I was in charge of the sponsorships for this new segment, but I didn't realize that's how you did it. I thought they just gave us the line and we said it. No, money has to change hands.

Well, no, we've got to ask the company for money. Well, maybe next time we'll do an IOU. These will be IOU sponsorships. Do I invoice them? Freebie. Give them a freebie, you know. Hock them in. Hock them in. I don't know if they want to be associated with these news stories warned. Right.

Well, okay, Bryn, are we ready? Absolutely. Get the jingle going. Oh, we haven't actually made... Oh, for goodness sake. We haven't made... We haven't gotten the booth to make one year, but at this stage it's just the cold. This is not enough for the news news.

Kiaoda, good morning, I'm Bryn Rudkin. In this news bulletin, rags to riches, butts to courts, planes to nowhere, and a reminder that history is not a toy. Our top story brought to you by Smith and Fletcher investments. Thank you.

Authorities in India, that sounds made up. Why were that Smith and Fletcher investments? Anyway, back to our top story. Authorities in India attempting to make a city beggar free have accidentally uncovered a seemingly homeless man who was in fact abundant in homes. A street beggar was found to own three houses,

multiple vehicles and income generating businesses. Cheapits. Admitting that begging wasn't for survival, it was for cash flow. Jeez. The local tax department is now ensuring he's not claimed home office expenses for 30% of his sleeping bag. Wow. Jeez. An education brought to you by NCAA.

Oh my God, NCAA. Wow, that's a big one. I didn't get any money from them. Yeah. But we're happy, NCA, happy to have you on board. Very happy. What's the tagline for NC. NCEA, nothing cares, everyone always.

Thank you. A Mississippi court has ruled that reading the church, children's book, I Need a New But is not a sackable offence. Judges found no evidence of lasting harm aside from one child saying the word but, which experts confirm, was already very much in circulation.

The court's decision has now put the issue to bed, bringing closure to a case that was briefly a pain in the backside. Guy lost his job. Go and lost his job. Wow. My kids had that book. Yeah, it's a great book. It's a great book. Wow. It's got a crack in it. Yeah.

Two aviation news brought to you by Jetstar. Fly Jet Star if you're a star on a jet. Wow, I don't know that was their own. I don't think they want to be associated with this at all. All right. Interesting. A California man has been arrested after stealing two airplanes, flying one across multiple states without a license while high on methamphetamine.

Oh dear. Yeah, I don't know about Jet Star wanting to... No, you should have made up a fake airline, Haley. Yeah. Yeah. Fly, um, air... Fly time. Airfly time.

Always flying in the air on time. All the time. All the time. The FBI initially suspected terrorism before realizing it was simply audacity. Authorities say it wasn't terrorism. Just a very high barful concern set even higher.

Higher on meth. And our final story brought to you by KY. Get a slippery start to your morning with KY jelly. again, I don't know if they want to be associated with these stories, Ailey. Well, they've emailed me, so this is the one that they wanted to be associated with. Okay. Sorry, can you just say the tag again? Just get a, sorry, KY, get a slippery start to your morning with KY jelly.

Beautiful. A French hospital was evacuated after doctors discovered an unexploded World War I artillery shell lodged inside a patient's rectum. Wow. Huh? It happens. Bomb squads were called Sorry, we'll just pause you there

Does it happen? Does it? Plural. Well, yeah, it could happen, I suppose. It has happened. It has happened. This is the news. It's in the news.

It's in the news. It's happened. The bomb squads were called. Wards were cleared. Experts say the shell was harmless. Once it stopped blocking traffic. That's the news. I'm Brynrodkirk.

Wow. Wow. What a selection. Maybe you've got to work on the sponsorships next week, Haley. Yeah, that's on me. I think the news read was perfect and the stories were great. How old do you think the guy was that hit it up his bomb? I just googled.

Well, it was a World War I? Yeah. I don't think he'd be a veteran. Was he a veteran? I automatically thought 24. The audacity of used it in an artillery that, you know, you didn't even fight in the war. That's stolen valet. That's stolen valet. Stolen valet to use artillery as a sex toy when you didn't even fight in the war. Yeah, amazing.

Brynrodkin, thank you so much. God, the world's a weird place. It is a weird place. Play Z-M's, Fletchhorn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Ah, do-da-da-do-do-do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-t do. It's the world's smallest is the theme for Factor the day this week, and today I want to tell you about the world's smallest hotel. Japan.

Nope. Oh. Oh. Somewhere of... Had a famous team up with Japan. Had a famous team. Pokemon. Team up.

Who teamed up with Japan? I dare not say. For historically, I do not know. Who teamed up with Japan? The Germans. The Germans. The Germans teamed up with the Japanese. Now I can do this accent because I have German hair.

Well, you'll have to be careful. I do not have Japanese. I don't. Yeah, it's in Germany. It's eight. foot wide. It's called Ehusel. And it is in the city of Amberg in the Bavarian state.

So they wouldn't be including those sleep pods then in Japan. That's just a beat. That's a hotel room or a hostel room. This is a hotel. Oh, I think of part of. The whole hotel. It's 8 foot wide. It's only one room, but it's licensed

as a hotel. I'm sorry, that's not a hotel. Mm-hmm. Yeah. A hotel has to have multiple rooms. At least three. It needs to be registered in licensed, it is. Yep. It's inspected under hotel-specific safety and hygiene regulations. It is. And it pays hotel

accommodation taxes. It does. It is. It's not a B&B or an Airbnb. It's registered differently. This is all-inclusively a hotel. It sounds like someone running that hotel's lazy. Like they want to run a hotel but they don't want all the work. At least want to do one run. Yeah, like one person's checking

in or maybe today it's not even booked out so they can just go home early. Precisely. Yeah. Sounds like the kind of hotel I'd run into the ground. To the damn ground. This tiny tiny little house exists because of a loophole to a marriage loophole. In 1728 in the city of Amberg, there was a very strict rule of couples weren't allowed to marry unless they owned property together. So they bought a property together and then that was part of their marriage certificate. Right.

So a whole lot of these really tiny houses popped up so they could say, oh look, we own a house. We can now get married because they didn't want poor people getting married. Right. They only wanted the wealthy to breed. So there was a work around there But the smallest possible legal property Couples would buy it Orbeit temporarily

Get married, then sell it on to the next couple It was like Sort of a scamy timeshare vibe Yeah But then it almost fell into disrepair And then it was re-registered as a hotel A lot of these burnt down I mean over the course of

17,000 nearly 300 years And they made entirely of wood Things have a tendency to burn down Especially when they were rocking candles and gas land back in the day. Yeah, all the time. So it is small. It's two and a half meters wide. It's under six metres long. There's two and a half floors, a ground and upper floor and a loft like sleeping area. So it's a tiny home. Yeah, right. It's a German 1700s tiny home. Does they have a breakfast buffet? No, it doesn't. Not even continental. I'm out. Not even continental. Not even

not even cereals and cold cuts. There might be cereals and a like stack on the, but that, I know that's giving motel vibe. So I looked into what a, so a motel has to have direct vehicle access. To be called a motel. You literally have to be able to, like, park your car essentially right in front of the room. It's a motor hotel. It's a motel. Is that what motel stands for?

A hotel means you can get a home. You're allowed to have hose from up. You can't bring hose into motels. No, you can't. You've got to bring moes. You're going to bring moes. Unless the hose have a moe and then that's a loophole as well. Mode hose can go into motels and hotels.

And hotels. But Airbnb is anyone. Anyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone and anyone. You're buying that cleaning fee. I recommend making a right old post-yiver.

Swil it, sully it, do it all. So today's Factor of the day in the world's smallest is the world's smallest hotel is so in Germany. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Flesh for it and Haley. 966. What is the one item of clothing you refuse to part with?

and I wear them like daily. It feels like you should just get a new pair of pants. No, but nothing will ever compare. And they're just so loose and stretchy and comfy that I was like, I just find ways to wear them while not doing any painting or renovation. Would you wear those to the supermarket if you needed to go get something? I do wear them.

Okay. I wore them on my weekend away. They were the only pair of shorts that I brought. And I went with a gentleman who was, I would... You were trying to impress. I was trying to impress and that I would like to find me attractive. Yeah. You know?

And you're in these... Well, that's why my... said, you go in your pleasure killers. I said, yeah, yeah. And then she, because my mum lives with me now and she does my washing sometimes, she said, I was about to throw those away. And I said, I'd throw you away.

And it's, you know, maybe your partner's constantly on you or trying to get rid of it or hide it from you so you no longer wear them. Yeah, maybe you're holding onto those holy undies. Oh my God. just message in, I actually saw those shorts on your Instagram, Haley. You have to part with them. No. You can easily find another pair of comfortable

like sweats shorts or something. It's the fact that their four size is too big. They're lower bloat. They're like stretchy, they're soft, they're light. They're long enough, short enough perfect. Just buy some oversized shorts then. Some new ones. I have these are perfect. Just go to the op shop and get some

Gianni, what is the item of clothing you can't refuse to part with? Morning, guys. I've got a long, well, it's a short dress that I wear as a long top. I've had it for probably seven or more years. It's in really good condition, though.

And I just, I thrash it. I'm thinking I need to get some more made because it will wear out eventually. What do you think? Custom build. Take it to a tailor. And say, whip me up a few of these. I want exactly this. This is why when you get a good T-shirt,

shirt or dress or anything. You've got to go out and buy five pairs. Yeah, they only had one colour and I've never bought out another one. Yeah, yeah, right. I mean, I sort of need to know this thing. It's Homeley, the brand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, nice, nice, nice. I think that's a great idea. If you love it so much and it makes you feel your best,

absolutely take it to a seamstress. It's kind of like when people love their cat or their dog so much they clone it. I'll be doing that. Yeah, so you just can't. I mean, that's a bad idea. Cross the line for Gianni. Gianni, thank you. Katie, what's the item of clothing that you can't part with? I have a T-shirt that I got when I was 13 in like 98-99

The white ones? No, no, no, no, no. No, I wouldn't dare wear my slolly little shorts to work. I'll be, I'd be dismissed almost immediately. It's inappropriate workplace at all. Okay, yeah. I have a glass on top. I fit when I was size 8 after losing lots of weight.

Then I went back to a 16, but it's still sitting in my wardrobe. I'm destined to be a fatty, but it's my fave. So just there in case. good to have gold clothing. Yeah, but not a wardrobe.

Really? Apparently, research shows a shift away from suited in corporate roles like us. I don't think the listeners know that we are here in corporate attire and suits. I think we are so far removed from corporate anything, Haley.

I know. I know. I'm actually right out there for corporate espionage. Are you? Oh, yeah, that's crazy. Okay, yeah. So how does this radio station work? What do you got there?

What are you got there? We've got a plan on how the show's going to work. Do you think that Vaughan is telling the edge when we're playing Raven Lanay? Yeah, I am. He texts. Hey, guys, if you're listening over there, they're about to play, think about us, Sunny Fondera feet Dodd. And Poppy Bob. It's Sunny Fontera.

following a vehicle pursuit in Northland linked to a Facebook marketplace transaction. Oh, no. They didn't pay for the car. So, well, they haven't gone into detail. I don't know if there's been an update since. This happened on Monday night around 8pm. Police received a report,

and they responded deploying multiple units. Apparently, it's reported that weapons may have been presented at the victim. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So they're going to pick something up from trade meal marketplace. Yeah, marketplace, yeah. Something goes wrong. Weapons are drawn. Yes, and police received a report of a man being chased in his vehicle by another.

So they arrested three guys 16 to 19 and they were taken into custody. What are we buying? It doesn't say what they were buying. More details. But yeah, this is a marketplace gone wrong. And I don't know if we're going to hear of any stories like this. But I hope we don't. I want to know.

Because you get some weird people when you start listing things on trade me and marketplace. And people turn up and you're just like, oh, God. Like when did a trade me or a marketplace sale go wrong? Go bad, go bad. Yeah. I mean, you had that guy mess. It wasn't like... I drove, yeah.

Where was it? Somewhere in South Auckland. And, yeah, I was by railway lines. I know that much because I kept driving over them, waiting for him to turn up because he said to meet me there at a specific time. So I arrived at that time, which is unlike me because I'm late for everything. Yeah. And then he was like, I'm going to be late.

I'll be 10 minutes. And I was like, okay, and 10 minutes, he's like, I'm going to be another 20 minutes. And I said, okay, and then 20 minutes. So we're half an hour. and he's like, can you come back in a couple of hours? I was like, where are you? I'm just down the road. I was like, well, can I come to you?

Do you have them on you? He's like, no, they're in my house. I said, well, I'm at your house. Oh, it was a whole thing I ended up just been like, don't worry about it, man. It's so bad that sometimes I'm like, oh my God, I'll sell that or marketplace or trade me. And then I just get to the point where I'm like,

you remember. I just remember what it's like dealing with these people. And sometimes I'm just like, I'd just rather give it to a friend or like donate it. I know, yeah. Or chuck it. and I'm just like, that's so bad. Keep your $20 note, mate.

I just cannot be bothered with this. So this is what we want to know this morning. 0800 dials at M. You can give us a call. Text through 9-696. How bad did the trade me or the marketplace sale? These are go. These are great stories ahead of Hayley's garage sale this weekend too.

Absolutely. Just a hit of Hayley's garage sale this weekend. Thank you. Bad garage sales, when did a trade me or a marketplace go bad? I think bad garage sales is a phoner in itself the last day. Don't scare me off. Give us a call. Right now though, when did the marketplace or trade me or even garage sale purchase go wrong?

Because three teens were arrested after a Facebook marketplace. Trade, there was apparently. guns and a car chase. So, I mean, that did not go well. I have to know by the end of the week what was being purchased. I know what, maybe a car. So we had a message in from a cop as well. This happens all the time the cop said.

Bloody marketplace. Oh, yeah, that cops waste so much time. Somebody said, my son bought a set of personalised plates. And on the way to fetch them, the guy said, I'm at work, I'll mail them to you, send the money through in your address. Long story, surely transferred the guy, $1,800. Two weeks later, no plates. Reported to the bank as a scam.

The guy never answered my son's messages in those two weeks. The bank froze his account, not my sons, the other guys. Then he contacted my son, eventually got the plates. Dodgy people, you know, had to get the police involved. Yeah, because that's a well-known scam, eh? They're like, oh, I'm just on my way, just transfer the money, or I'll pick it up later, transfer the money, and then you never see them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, goodbye.

Alicia, good morning. What was the purchase that went wrong? Hi. It was a marketplace transaction that my husband had augmented to that thing. But of course, he wasn't home when the guy came to pick it up

and it was a piece of farm machinery which I knew nothing about. Okay. This shows up late from four hours away. Don't know where he come from. And then he proceeded to look at this

saying decided, oh, no, it wasn't really for him. But then his car had broken down in our driveway. So I had to get somebody to come, a friend of ours to come and fix it. And then at the same time, his phone had gone for that. And he had to watch on. Oh, my God. I cannot. I've had this human being.

When someone else's problem becomes yours and you can't just leave them. Yes, you want to be. I know. So I had to invite him into my house. Oh, God, no. So he could use my charger. And we're just in there trying to make small talk And it was just like really odd and awkward

And yeah, then he didn't want the thing anyway And then drove four hours home So kill me, honestly Who's driving four hours each way And doesn't have a phone charger in their car? Oh, I know And then also on the cereal wheel in Vivid Was check oil each time

And so I'm like, I'm just the right vehicle to be bringing on this excursion? like check oil each time is this the right vehicle? That little post

I know was probably over the check engine light yeah there's the oil we're gonna keep up there was a check engine

light back in 1990 Toyota pilot or something those things don't need a oil check what an

absolute punish this is again this is why I get put off listing anything on anything

because I'm just like people kill me every time um Alicia thank you

so much the message is in and a shortage no shortage I sold a treadmill and the guy asked for the money back and threatened to set his mob mates on me around the cops and they said, better to refund the money and be safe.

Wait, so, wait, the police said better to give him to that extortion. Yeah. Okay. This always happens in my industry. I'm a property manager and I list of property for rent. People take those photos and use them a marketplace and try to get a bond off people to secure moving into the place and they'll pay it without even saying it. Yeah, I've heard that scam.

Oh, that's bad. Yeah. I was selling a dresser with a mirror on trade mayor. A guy came to pick it up with a car way too small. and I said there's no way that's going to fit. He said, yeah, it'll fit. Damien. No.

Into the mirror? Not the mirror. Not that story. Yeah, it's going to fit. And then as he was trying to ram it into his tiny car, he broke it. Well, that's on him. And then said, well, I don't want this anymore. That's on her.

It's on you, dude. Also, get the money before it goes in the car, right? Yeah. Yeah. I once purchased a handful of PlayStation 2 games from a garage sale. Oh, yeah? Got home. One of the cases had a few condoms

in a bag of some anonymous white powder. inside? Wow. You'd be gut it. Is the game in there as well? Because like, sweet free drugs and connies, but like, are we getting taken? My brother found a car for sale on Facebook Marketplace. So I went with my brother and my dad to take it for a test drive. Had to meet it a random address that wasn't the car owner's house. Thought that was fine. Took the car for a drive. My brother warned to buy it. We're going to go ahead with it. The next day we heard on the radio that the car was a suspect, that the car was used in a shooting.

What? It's to say that we didn't buy it. That's insane. As long as the bullets were being shot from the car and not into the car, though, that's a solid period. That's why you get a pre-purchase car check. They check for the bullet holes. You know, make sure everything's working. Actually, I just thought about it if it was used in a drive-by

and then they sell it and then the people come to sort of seek retribution. Oh, yeah. And they pull up alongside you and the lights and they'll shoot back. So maybe don't, actually, on second thoughts. Not a solid investment. Do you think it was an electric? Because that would be the best drive-by shooting car.

You wouldn't hear it coming. Would you? Did you? You didn't even read the one about the brand? branding iron, have you? No. I got a branding iron, you know, like for cows. Yeah.

Because it had our initials on it. You're like, oh, cool, that's us. Yeah. Thought it would be an interesting doorstop. When I got there, it still had flesh and hair on it. Well, that's easy. Just put it over the barbecue. Made me gag and my daughter cry, but the dog liked it.

The dog left off the hair and the guts. I live in Morningside, Fongaree. I waited all day for someone who kept saying they were on their way, be there soon, eventually that are you sure you giving me the right number? The street number doesn't go that high. I was like, you're in Morningside, Fungaree, right? And they said, no, I'm in Mornside. But they had, what street exists in both Morningside, Fungaree and Morningside, Auckland?

I simply must know call it. Probably, I don't know, a Queen or a High Street or... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tortera. You know, they're everywhere. Yeah, school. Rifle Road. Yep.

Station Road. I was selling some young turkeys on trade me. I've sought this one. What a fascinating sale. I was selling some young turkeys on Trayman and the people who bought them had put in the incorrect town

and trying to figure out how far away I was they ended up driving over eight hours to collect the young turkeys. Lovely people and bless their hearts for making the journey because of their mistake. Eight hours, so what? Auckland to Wellington. Can you curry a poster turkey?

Imagine thinking. I reckon that as long as that tiny turkeys poke some holes in the box. Well they said young turkeys. They would be small. Mm, many gobs. But now you've got to. Hang on, so I'm driving from Auckland to Wellington

and now I've picked up these young turkeys. Now I've got to drive with them the whole way, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the back. Go over a pond. And you're going to stop a BP and get a pinini or something? Yeah.

And be like, do you guys want anything? I reckon they'd go pretty hard on some chippies. Oh, that hoon a snake of a chagie. Not chicken flavoured. No, no, no. That would be wrong. Salt vinegar, turkey. Wrong.

The ZDM Podcast Network. What's going on? ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. There are changes coming, and this was announced yesterday by the government, that how we get our licence is changing. But this isn't until January next year, right? They're giving us a big heads up, January 25th next year. They're changing.

So no more full licence test. They'll no longer need to drive a second practical test. Which is how it used to be, A, yes. You just did your restricted tests, and then you had. You could do a defensive driving course that would take it from 18 months to nine months and with a three month learners, so you'd get your learners

and it'd be three months long if you did driving course and then you'd get you restricted three months after that and then you could get the other one in nine months so in one year you could go from no licence to full licence back of the day. A longer time spent on the learner's license for under 25s. It's going to be a 12 month

learner period for under 25 so that's an increase of six months. That's a kick in the guts for the rural kids as a rural kid but I feel like that's better than... We weren't the problem, by the way. Time learning. No, you were. The rural kids.

We weren't the problem. We'd been driving trucks. We're going to say, you've been driving tractor since you were like four. Yeah. There's an option to reduce the learner period. There's an option for under 25s to reduce the 12 month to six months

by doing practice hours or doing an approved practical course. Right. So they just hand you your full. That feels dangerous. New restricted periods. The restricted period will be 12 months if you're under 25s and six months for over 25s

with no option to reduce it with a defensive driving course anymore. Okay. It's going to be cheaper to get your full license. The total cost of getting your car license will be, will reduce by $80 under the new system. I thought they were going to say that restricted had to have like R plates, you know, like in Australia.

You've got to have your... K-pel plates and P-plates. Yeah. So if you're on your restricted, it's still embarrassing driving around. But now are they going to... So they're removing... Why are we doing this? Drivers on their restricted license will face a The further six months on their restricted if they get any demerits?

But we're removing eyesight checks for restricted and full license, so just don't worry. Have it. Just have it. They'll only be required at the first license application or when you renew your license. So between then and your eyesight disintegrates, we're just like, don't worry about it just have a car. That does seem weird.

Feels real weird. It takes like five seconds. Also, learner and restricted drivers, regardless of age, you'll be subject to a zero alcohol limit. It used to be under 25, was it? If you're on your, yeah. Restricted. Yep.

and New Zealand Transport will gain new powers to monitor and suspend driver training course providers. Because there's been a bit of dodgy testing and bribes going on, hasn't there? And also, I saw yesterday people were pissy and I kind of agree that this would have been a good chance to bring in compulsory insurance.

Yeah. And it kind of hasn't happened, which kind of sucks. Yeah. Because like, are we one of the only countries that doesn't do that so someone could crash into you with no insurance? That's all. Yeah, whereas most countries it's in the road

like when you register your car and stuff. Yeah. Well, we asked, a quick little poll on our Instagram, how many times did it take you to get your license? Because I was... I failed. Did you? I failed my full license. And then he did it again.

I didn't say, I didn't talk enough, remember? Which is crazy. It's the only time I've literally ever been told that in my life, I didn't say enough. Whereas I went overboard. They were like, now tell me the hazards. I was like, that plane in the sky. Climate change. Climate, I'm hot.

There's a leaf on the ground. I don't want to, you know. I'm very panicky. Donald Trump. and his policies impacting us for years to come. Ice. Ice is here. Deforestation in the Amazon.

That man on a bike, that woman pushing a pram. A possible asteroid in 234. So we asked how many times did it take you to get your license? Haley, what did you say? You were two? Two. It took you two times. I was two.

Okay, well, one, 73% of people. They got it first time. Nailing it first go. Nice. Two times, two takes to get the full license. 21% of the population. Great. And three times all.

more 6%. That's still really funny to me. Yeah. Oh, Eva took six. What? Eva responded, she took six. Six? Oh, Eva.

How did you not... What, how... On the fourth time I'm going, what's going on here? I reckon the third, fourth and fifth time, pure nerves destroyed her. Like, I've got to get it now. And then she was just spiraled into failure. Stacey said one for practice, two for restricted, one for full.

That's not too bad. That's not too bad. That's not too bad. Yeah. Somebody said, I just can't work out those scratchy tests when there was scratchy tests. I had about five guys. Five guys at the Lunar License because of the scratchy test. They don't do scratchy's anymore, though, do they?

Nah. Do you do it on an iPad or something? On a pewter. It's on a pewter. Well, desktop. You're not alone, Haley? Two times. I know two times so embarrassing, but not talking.

It's ridiculous. Mm-hmm. Oh. Who did your tummy group? Yeah, that was my tum-tum. That was my tun-tum-tum-tum. Hey guys, I reckon it was the most fun I've ever had on a show. Not for me, Born.

I know we're even close. Now we're even close. You haven't been here long, have you? No, I haven't. Well, if you were listening and you had fun, won't you give us a little review and a rating? Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
