From the ZM podcast network, this is the Flash Fawn and Hayley's big pod. Thanks to animates, making happy happen for pets. ZM's Flash Fawn and Hayley. Thank you Bryn. Good morning. Happy Friday. Welcome to the show, Flash Fawn and Hayley. Hulk Hogan. I was just going to say Vaughan's away today. He'd be upset Hulk Hogan said he was a wrestling fan. I loved watching, you know, they did, they did the, they done the, uh, documentary on wrestling recently.

Yes. And I watched all of it and I was like. Although he did go at that like right wing crazy. Like he was always at Trump rallies. Eh? No, no one saw that coming. Yeah. Take off the bandana. I want to see like, he's's had his hair sewn into it.

Anyway, today's not the day to roast Hulk. Dead at 71 years of age, Hulk Hogan. What a week. A couple of legends gone. I thought, I was thinking about this with Friday Flashback. I'm pretty sure it's Vaughn. Vaughn's up for Friday Flashback. Well, he's away today.

But I'll take over and then we were like, should we do a Kelly Osbourne song? Cause remember she had a small little... She did have a little music career for a little bit there. Nah, I'm not gonna do that. Nah, nah. The top six is coming up in Vaughan's absence. Yes, where was this?

The story... It was in America, Illinois. Some incentives to give blood. Sort of naughty incentive, I'd say. Well, it's legal there, so it's not naughty. I suppose so. CBD products. Cause they don't do- Your weeds. They don't do incentives.

It was called, yeah, it was called Bud for Blood. Bud for Blood. So if you came in and donated blood, they'll give you- Marijuana. Marijuana, whereas here you just get cookies. You get cookies, you get biscuits. You get Bickies, cheese and crackers and some juice.

Yeah. Well, I've got the top six other things that would make me want to donate blood. Some incentives. Some incentives. Next on the show though. Bumble has launched a new in-app feature. I reckon I might get slightly insulted by it if I was using it. Play ZM's Flashborne and Hayley.

We're actually going to touch on this again later on the show about how bleak it is out there on the dating apps. Very funny story coming up, but apparently, well not apparently, Bumble is launching an in-app feature to help people who are perhaps not kind of hitting the mark with their profile and their interactions. Okay. It's called an in-app dating advice hub for people that... Is it AI?

Yeah, it is AI. They have like bad profiles, bad interactions, not good photos, maybe using like sort of odd language, no flirting game, aren't doing well. You can use this hub and it'll help you kind of turn it around. But my problem is that you're, you could be chatting to someone who's using this hub and using AI to change all their profile info and their chat. And then you're going to meet this person and they're going to be nothing like what

they are. This is kind of like more than, because there is a Tinder that uses the AI features to help you like come up with like pick up lines and stuff like that. So you are kind of talking to a different version of that person. You're talking to AI, you're not even talking to this human being. Whereas this feels more like a kind of course, you know what I mean? Like it kind of feels like a little, you know, have you ever been on the doll? Well, like way, but yeah, when I was like 17. I love that you paused so long. I was like, we all did it.

Does anyone still call it the doll? Oh, don't you just say wins? Is benefit or wins. Is it even wins now? The doll, when I was on the doll, you know you had to go and do those courses. Yeah, because they didn't wanna give you free money. You had to like. Look like you're applying for jobs. And I wasn't, I was making theater.

Well I had a job, it just didn't pay me any money. So I had to, yeah. It was like an internship slash, but get the doll. This gives this energy, which is like, you've gotta go and sort of like sit through this course and it gives you first date tips, tips on how to build real connections, tips on how to be authentic on the app,

how to transition from online to in-person dating. Well, maybe to look at the positives, maybe it will educate people. Yeah, totally, because honestly. And people that don't have any chat or game. Do you, I mean, I can't, the last time I was swiping for someone else but it is just the pits. It is, trust me, the pits out there. Like people need all the help they can get. And if it's AI, well we'll take it I guess. At what, at some point, what isn't AI? This show is brought to you by Flesh and Vaughn and Hayley.

Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. We're only a few months out. Well. From what, summer? I'm just, you know, I'm just trying to think of the great walk season, you know, when we get out of. It's literally like negative two degrees. I know, I know, it's.

I mean. It's so cold at the moment. It's August in a week, less than. Oh dear. So, you know, we are months away from the great hikes, the great walks, New Zealand's great walks, and we all head outdoors. Beautiful in spring.

Yep, beautiful. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Well, there is a... Actually, can we just say, side note before you get into this, you just said, we should do a hike. And I immediately said, no, I don't want to hike with you. I've warned away today, but we have spoken about going

to find a hut for a night. It would be fun. That would be fun, but you're too fast. You're too fit, you're too fast. And I don't want to be struggling along. And then you said, well, what if Vaughn and I carry the big packs and you get a little lady day pack? You just have a little lady day pack.

Lady day pack is so funny, but yes. Well, this is the thing when people go hiking, some people take it quite seriously and there is a trend to be ultra light. Like I've gone on the, when I did my five day hike, I saw people that would literally have daypacks. A backpack. And all they would have is their sleeping bag and they would have like tiny dehydrated meals like little bags of nuts and I'm like no like I don't I'll struggle for four days hiking you go well equipped to carry blocks of chocolate to carry like biscuits and lollies and like delicious foods and like definitely dehydrated meals like help with the space. But there is this, I guess, movement to be ultra light.

And so everything you take has to be tiny. And the movement has, I guess, has gone towards a lot of dehydrated meals where you just add water and then you put a meal on. And you like them, you add corn like them. They're delicious, they're delicious. I've never had one. But they still aren't quite big.

But anyway, there is a new movement towards this ultra light hiking. And that has led one hiking brand to release what they're calling the crotch pot. Ha ha ha ha ha! The crotch pot. Crotch pot! Is a pouch for cooking camping meals

using the heat of your nether regions. That is so grim! I hate it! Can you see the photo? So you basically, it's like a bum bag. So it's like a fanny pack. It's like a fanny pack. So you put the string around and you put water in. So before you start your hike for the day, you put the water into the pouch and you seal it up and you put it around like a fanny pack.

And because it's in the sun and on your crotch. How hot is your crotch? Well your hiking can be quite hot in summer. Very swampy. Yeah and then so when you get to the hut or your destination or your campsite at the end of the day, your meal, your crotch pot. Has been heated by your crotch.

Has been heated all day like a slow cooker. Like a crock pot. Slow cooking your bollock nose with the heat of your balls is so grim. It's grim isn't it? Yeah. I mean I get females as well. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Who would have hotter, who would have the hotter nether regions? Who's genitals are warmer? I mean the photo shows the crotch pot outside the pants but there's nothing. The photo shows the crotch pot outside the pants, but there's nothing to stop you putting the crotch pot between your undies and your pants. Men's genitals tend to be warmer than women's genitals.

Okay. Particularly during times of arousal. So if you really wanted a hot meal, you could have audio books in your ear. And getting close to the heart, you can just start. Put on a nice sort of sexy audiobook and heat up your crotch pot. It's so nice.

It's grim. If this was released on April 1st, you'd be like, this is a prank, right? But it's not. No, it's not. It's actually a thing because people are so into hiking without the weight. Crotch pot.

I really think. I don't know the flavors. Don't talk about flavors when they're around your crotch pot. So, because it'll have to be things that don't need to be boiled. Right, unless you've got super, super hot genitals. Because you add the water, it kind of soaks in all day. Can you please get some?

I'll just stick to a tin of baked beans or something and heat that up on the stove. Or at least you can eat that sort of semi-warm. Yeah. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley group chat,

this is the top six. Hello, now in Vaughan's absence, I have been tasked with the top six and today addressing the fact that in America there is a campaign called Bud for Blood and they say we think stoners make great blood donors. Okay. And reading about it, yeah, you know, it doesn't impact the quality of the blood. I mean I guess maybe.

I would have thought it would have. Well because it matters the whatever the chemical is right that stays in the blood it eventually works its way out. Right. So maybe they just let it sit for longer. So imagine if you went into hospital had a transfusion and then you just became a stoner and you're just really hungry and you need a bunch of cheese. You wake up and you're like, hey dude I'm hungry. You're like what the hell? No, it's fine. The stone of blood is fine to donate. And in New Zealand now we're accepting homosexual blood, aren't we?

Yeah. Well, I guess if it wasn't acceptable, they would have told us, right? All these years, they would have been like, it would have been one of the questions, do you smoke a lot of weed? Yeah, yeah, and it's not. And it never was.

The only time I've ever been denied donating blood is when I was on Accutane, which you get the most mangled blood. Really? Oh rotten to its core but great skin. Okay yeah. And our fresh tattoo. Yes. Fresh tattoo. Yeah yeah. Because they're like where'd you get it done in a back alley? Yeah. You look like the kind of girl that would. Anyway so this is used as an incentive basically. You get a little bit of marijuana, give a bit of blood, save some lives. And I'm guessing this is in a state, it's in Illinois where it's legal.

Where it's legal. Yeah, so there's no problem doing it. Wild. It is wild, but I have, and this is, I know that the New Zealand Blood Service, a lot of people working for them listen to our show. So I've got the top six things that would make me wanna donate blood.

Maybe some ideas. Some ideas for them, some incentives. Number six on the list, shirtless male nurses that hold your hand instead of squeezing that little ball. Do you know what I mean? And they're like, cute, and they're like, and they're just like, hi, thank you for saving lives.

And you're like, thank you for saving my life. There'll be lines out the door. I know, and then you'll be like, I feel fine, I feel a bit dizzy, help. And then, oh no, just fine. Just hold me, just hold me. You know like how they can get like shirtless waiters? Yeah. They should hire like hotties to come and like do you know what I mean? Yeah yeah. Like a hottie day. Imagine all the chicks turning up.

The chicks in the gaze would be out the door. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six things some ideas for the New Zealand Blood Surface on how some incentives that I would give blood for. The chairs are actually in a movie cinema and you get a free ticket to the latest movie. So while you're watching the movie it's draining your blood. Yeah but the only thing is like say you're watching the new horror or something but you do have this the whirr of the machines. Oh yeah you could wear headphones. It could come through your headphones. Maybe you could plug into the chair. Just an idea. Number four on the list of the top six things that would make me Oh yeah, you could wear headphones. It could come through your headphones. Like a little plug into the chair.

Just an idea. Number four, on the list of the top six things that would make me want to donate blood, instead of biscuits afterwards, you get iPhones. Just an idea for the New Zealand Blood Service. I mean, that's quite expensive. Is there a price on saving lives? Yeah.

Are you telling me? You're telling me you wouldn't turn up at the New Zealand Blood Service? We go every month just getting you a phone. You've already got the 16. Oh when's the 17 coming out? Okay I'll be back then. See you in October. Yeah I might just get a freshie actually.

Number three on the top six list of things that would make me want to donate blood, some incentives. You give blood in one of those embarrassing massage chairs that you see in the mall. Yeah and they're like and they vibrate and they move. I saw people in those yesterday. I was at the mall and I was like how embarrassing for you. Do you know what I mean? I mean I guess it's two dollars. You know those ones when you're like and they put your arms in the slots and your legs in the slots and they're going but if you were in those and you know how they kind of like squeeze you. Yeah. You'd push out the blood. Yeah.

It'd be really good. Just an idea. Number two on the list of the top six things that would make me want to donate blood. While you give blood, someone grooms your car. How nice. You go in there. You come back to a clean car. You're like, oh my god, thank you.

This was an absolute tip. Especially someone like me who keeps my car so poorly. And they do that thing on the dashboards, they use that polishy stuff. What is that? What is that? And where do we purchase it? Yeah, where do you get that from on the dashboards. They use that polishy stuff. What is that? What is that? And where do we purchase it? Yeah, where do you get that from? Where do we buy it from? Why is it over everything and it's all clean and shiny? Because when they use a spray and wipe mine's all smeary and dusty and gross. What is that magic juice they put on the dashboard? It's magic car juice!

What is the magic car juice? We must know the dashboard. It's all sheeny and nice. Yeah, what is that? And then sometimes they put it on the mat under the accelerator pedal, it makes your feet skiddy. Skiddy and slippy. Yeah. Now I'm in danger. So it is magic juice, but it's also very dangerous. Now number one on the list of the top six things

that would make me want to donate blood, I guess just knowing that for 30 painless minutes I could sit in a chair and save up to three lives. Oh wow, okay, so you don't need an iPhone. Maybe just the knowledge that currently the New Zealand Blood Service needs around 50,000 donations of blood and plasma, which is very easy, it doesn't hurt at all

to meet just the winter quota alone. Just sort of knowing, you know what I mean? Just sort of knowing that you're saving lives and maybe knowing that maybe one day, hopefully not, but maybe one day you'll need blood. Amazing. Donate blood guys, it's very easy, it doesn't hurt. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley.

Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley. Uber has announced a new feature this is going to be trialled in America in some US cities in the next few months and then I'm guessing if it goes well it could be rolled out to other parts of the world, including New Zealand, but I don't know if there would be enough. No. I don't know if this could work in New Zealand. So the new feature announced on Wednesday

will pair female drivers and riders. Yeah, so you can, if you're the rider, you can ask for a female driver, but also if you're working Uber, and you are a female driver. You could only pick up females. If you're the rider, you can ask for a female driver, but also if you're working Uber, and you are a female driver. You could only pick up females. If you want to. Yeah, so the screenshot they've shown is,

you know how it's like UberX Comfort XL, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you can get the big boot ones, Uber bougie, yeah. Uber real expensive. Uber convertible. Yeah, Uber more expensive. Yeah, Uber Vintage.

One of the, imagine that. Uber Mustang 1970. Imagine. It's just like, it just says women drivers and it's the same price as the Uber X. But yeah, it's just giving you that option. It's interesting because yeah, in New Zealand, like I would very rarely get into an Uber

and it was a female driver. I was just trying to think like maybe one or two times, but and overseas a lot more. Especially like in America or two times, but overseas a lot more, especially like in America and stuff, I've had a lot more female drivers. It's definitely seldom enough that whenever I get in and it's female driver, I'm always like, oh, female driver.

You know what I mean? Like it's enough to sort of be of note. But then maybe this would encourage more females to drive Ubers. I mean, I definitely have never felt unsafe in an Uber in New Zealand for sure. Like I've just, you know, lucky. Well, you are normally the problem.

I'll say it. I would say the driver probably most feels unsafe that I'm gonna make it home and that I'm gonna be able to give them the right address. But Shannon, you've got it. So you have a bit of a, like a thing about where you sit in an Uber. Yeah. Why are you laughing?

I've had a few weird experiences with Uber. I've never felt unsafe, but I've had a few of them give me like gifts or try talk to me. And it's just a bit weird. What kind of gifts? This guy gave me a handmade necklace one time. And it was like a beaded necklace. What, and you'd been in there for like two minutes?

Yeah, and he was like, have a great day. I can't tell if it was religious or personal. I don't know anyway Yeah maybe he saw the devil in you. Do you know what I mean? Fair enough. I think he might have seen the devil in you. Really upsetting it's not a gift like chocolates. Yeah mate if I get in there, remember when they used to give you mints and water? Yeah. Oh god the good old days.

We had an Uber driver once me and my friend offer us butter chicken. Yes? Yes. I didn't see a problem with that. Fine. Eww. How long has it been in the car for? I don't care it's a chicken and I'm getting taken home imagine if you were taking home your nuggies oh my goodness now you've got butter chicken nuggies but I always specifically sit behind the

driver because I heard I heard once if they would ever freak you out you could strangle them. I don't know if I should say that. Yeah, yeah. No, you've said it now. You could attack them from behind. No, I always sit on the opposite. I sit behind the passenger seat in the back. Same. So I can see them. So then you can see them. I can see them in the map. I feel it's also better for them because you're not directly behind them. That's a bit weird. Breathing down the nape of their neck.

Yeah, yeah. I think it just feels safer. You know how like a rabbit will stand in the corner of a room so it's got like it's all it's back protected. Feel a bit like a rabbit. I've never thought about rabbits in there. No I haven't that thought hasn't crossed my mind. It's constantly in line. We added that safety feature a few years ago of sharing your ride like you get in the Uber and you can share it with a mate and be like hey I'm in the Uber and it tells your friend where you're arriving, who the driver is and when you've arrived, which is great. Yeah, I love that.

And like I will say, I've never genuinely felt unsafe here in New Zealand, but I think this would encourage a lot more females to become drivers. Yeah. And you go in the US, you know, there are a lot more people, I'm sure there are maybe more issues. Well, it does say that they use this feature in 2019 in Saudi Arabia. Do you remember when they gave women the right

to drive in 2019, just six years ago? Too soon. Do you remember? I'll say it's a couple of years too soon. I'll say it's a couple of years too soon. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley, silly little co, silly little co. It is so silly little poll, do you wash your reusable bags?

So 97% of users admit to never washing their reusable bags potentially leading to bacterial contamination and cross contamination of groceries. Remember never pack your smellies with your meats. Putting the gross into groceries. Yes. I mean I have a couple of big really cool tote bags like fabric tote bags that I'll wash. Super Et, your Super Et tote bag? Darling, I left it in France, darling. Oh, darling!

Darling, my Super Et bag, I left it in France, it's thick! I've washed mine a few times and it's fading, darling. Darling, fade it, well we must pop to Super Et to get a new shirt for you, darling. But I wash that maybe, you know, like once in a blue moon, but it's pretty stony and pretty gross. If it gets wet or manky. Yeah, I've got fabric ones that I wash that maybe, you know, like once in a blue moon, but it's pretty stony and pretty gross. If it gets wet or manky. Yeah, I've got fabric ones that I'll happily wash,

but I don't think your supermarket tote bags can go through the wash. Or the Hessian ones? Yeah, it's that kind of material that you feel like would just kind of fall apart in the machine. Nah, also I just think it adds character. And also like, I feel like the meat containers now, a lot of the supermarkets, they sealed shut right? Like they... Yeah or they'll put like you

put your chicky in it they'll put it in a plastic bag of itself do you know what I mean? Oh my god my supermarket does. If you buy like chicken breast or chicken thigh in a tray sometimes I'll put it in another bag. Oh really? No that doesn't happen to me. Oh my god I didn't realise you were going to a poverty supermarket. Yes. Whoa, yes. Well, I don't know, I pack and I save. I don't know if you know that, but. Also, isn't it funny how every supermarket

has now just become a pack and a save? I know. Like, no one's packing your groceries. I know, when you get to the checkout, you're like, one person. Yeah, who was it that said to me, I think it was a friend that, someone that's moved to New Zealand,

I was like, why is it called pack and save? I was like, because you- Pack your own groceries. They're like, but that's every to New Zealand, I was like, why is it called Pack and Save? I was like, cause you- Pack your own groceries. They're like, but that's every supermarket. And I'm like, oh yeah, cause it never used to be. It's when it's not busy, they'll chuck another person on to like do it for you. But yeah, you are doing it a lot.

And then you're sort of stressful, especially when you're like on your own, you're putting on- Oh my God, it's stressful. Running, putting in. It's stressful. Cause they're quick. So we asked, on Celia Lepold, do you wash your reusable bags? 83% of people said no. Wow, okay, well that's a lot more,

that's a few more than the study though, from overseas. 17% saying yes. Some feedback, Caitlin says, I said yes because technically I have, but let's not go crazy and pretend to do it on a regular basis. Now, me too. Well Shannon was saying some people spray and wipe their bags. Oh, like some of them have that plastic bottom.

I personally don't, I'm grim. But I think people- Shannon's not spraying wiping her reusable bags. I don't even reusable bag, I walk my chicken straight home from the dairy. Yeah. In hand. In hand.

It's still wild to me that you're buying dairy chicken. Constantly. Like, this is not gonna to end well, Shannon. But I know people when they get chicken juice and stuff they'll just spray and wipe it, because it is kind of that slick canvas. Yeah, sometimes it does have a kind of coating. You could definitely. Yuck.

More feedback, Dani says, yeah, duh, unless they're the Hennessy type. Now I think she means Hessian there. Hessian, yeah, yeah. I mean, Hennessy. Unless they're the Hessian type material, then yeah, nah. But she definitely does, otherwise. Wow, okay. Danny committed to the cleanliness.

Danielle says my nanny used to wash every single bag and then place them in her plastic bag holder. Oh, I used to wash your plastic bags. I remember Nan's were good at that. You wash, and I've adopted this, your GLAD bags. Sometimes your Ziplocs. Do you? No, not really.

Oh no, it's not you. I'm thinking of someone else. I do. Oh, okay. Every now and then. If it's not destroyed, I'll give it a rinse. Yeah. Cause I care about the planet, Fletch.

I know you do. Jodie says, I don't, unless there's some kind of gross chicken juice incident or something. Yeah. Some leakage care about the planet fletch. Jodie says, I don't unless there's some kind of gross chicken juice incident or something. Some leakage, some seepage. Victoria says, wait are we meant to? That's what we're asking Victoria, we don't know. Nicholas said, I throw them out if they get grotty. Yeah, I mean they're what?

They're a dollar and if you use them a lot. Again, it's not about that fletch, it's about the landfill. Carl said, not you, but someone else. Only because my wife makes me. Vicky said, I barely remember to take them with me to the shop. Let alone wash them. Oh my god, I know. Got to have them in the boat.

Hayley said, my mum does and ooo ooo boomer behaviour. Love that. Shots fired. And Jackie said, literally has never occurred to me until now. Wow. OK, so we've actually probably helped the nation. To get a little bit more into the cleaning of them. So, for silly little poll, we asked you, do you wash your reusable bags?

And 83% of you said nah boll. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Well we want to talk about when you've seen a celebrity in the wild doing something normal. You know what I mean? Not just like, oh there's a celebrity, but doing something sort of pedestrian quite normal. Like it would be weird if you saw a celebrity in the supermarket. The supermarket. Like you'd just be like, oh I guess they need to shop too.

That was like an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians was Kylie going to the supermarket doing some shopping and it was such a novel. Do you remember that episode girls? And that was like a novelty to her. Because they would have chefs, right? Yeah. And Mum Chris was like, you can do it Kylie, I'm proud of you. I was like, oh wow.

We do that every day. Every day, yeah. So fans are bloody gobsmacked after they saw Angelina Jolie and Selma Hayek traveling with the masses on the way to Mexico. Like, and they were just in their normal commercial flight. Right, or were they in first class, but they, did they have to do that bus thing?

You know when you're getting a flight and then they're like, now you're getting a bus and you're like. I saw the funniest reel that was like Satan himself like Satan Satan didn't send me to hell. He sent me a bus to my plane or something Finally get to your holiday destination There's an effing bus that hasn't arrived

I know you've got to wait for the bus to turn up and then you don't get the first bus So you have to get the second bus just standing on the stairs of the plane waiting for a bus like in 40 degree heat Yeah, it's the worst. But they were doing that? Yeah, they were just like in line to board a plane and casual very low-key plane, you know, comfy attire There's been a couple of stories of this as Petro Pascale as you before, was spotted in economy on a Europe flight? Yeah, so they're just in line on the air bridge, which makes me think that they're not business class, they're not flying, they'll just be cattle class, but maybe it was like a small

flight or something. Yeah, right. And it, I don't know why, it's just very bizarre to see celebs in the wild like this. I know, and then it becomes like a big news story. Yeah, exactly. They fly like the rest of us. Yeah. Oh, so I just mess like the rest of us. Yeah. Oh, someone just messaged in, saw Brett McKenzie with his trolley at Pack and Save.

Kilburny, the man, he packs, he saves. Yeah, he packs, and he saves. But it was post-Oscar win, so it was kind of like, look at that. Wow. I mean, if you're well, Antonio, you often see Peter Jackson walking around with his bare feet at the supermarket and whatnot. He doesn't do bare feet at the supermarket, does he? Yes, he does.

Does he? Yeah, Peter Jackson is so funny. Even now? In the summer. Oh yeah, does he? Yes he does. Does he? Peter Jackson, it's so funny. Even now? In the summer, oh yeah, it's been years maybe. Right, okay, I love that. Oh yeah, people at the airport just having lunch waiting for their flight. What, celebrities?

Yeah, oh I love that. Okay, well this is- And I'll save them, save them, save them. This is exactly what we wanna know this morning. 0800 DALSATM, give us a call. Text through 9696. When did you see a celebrity in the wild just doing something normal and undated? I love this.

We want to know this morning, when you saw a celebrity in the wild doing something normal, because there's been a bunch of news stories about celebrities just flying economy and mixing in with the normal people. The latest one was Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie just having a yarn on the air bridge walking onto a plane economy. Just, you know, Pedro Pascal, he's been flying economy class for

ages and it's just odd to see them out in the wild doing normal things. I saw Jodie Foster in front of me at border security. I've got to go through security.

I, morning team, I seen David and Victoria Beckham doing their shopping in the mall in UK. Victoria! Vicky, Posh Spice and Mo. Wow that would have been pretty cool to see

I mean we love seeing, we try to play it cool. Because who was it last time Jason was here and they were like pulled up to a traffic light and they looked out the window, they're like, Oh, g'day mate. And Jason's just like waiting for the lights. On his motorcycle.

I know this cause I worked there. I love that so much about him. He stays humble. He could literally afford a hundred billion pairs of shoes. He is profoundly rich. And this is my favourite one. I served Ursula Carlson some luncheon at the supermarket. Luncheon!

Play ZM's FletchBorn in Hayley. Well, I'm aghast. I have been doing, well, what I wanted to do was throw the vacuum cleaner around and give my house a quick spruce. What ended up happening is I've torn my entire house to bits. I've emptied every single drawer. I've just, I've gone for a deep clean. I even emptied the cutlery drawer and took out the dividers. Oh I need to do that because there's little crumbs in there. Crumbs, dust, bits. And I know that they're there and they have been there for maybe two years.

Yes, yes. I don't think I have deep cleaned my kitchen since it was installed, like two years ago. Oh wow, okay. Do you know what I mean? So it's like it was due and even on a week like this week when I've been busy, I just started. Was it the start of the Monstratus? Yeah, the Monstratus is Menstratus. Menstratus, sorry.

Which turns me into the Monstratus. A monster. Yeah, the Menstratus turned me into Monstratus. Yeah, it was. I just lost my brain. And then you're like, I must clean. Yeah, I must clean. Period clean. Yeah, period clean, and then you tear it all apart

and then it's all on the floor and you go, oh no. No, can't be bothered. Can't be bothered. I know I hate when you do a deep clean and you're just like, no, this is a terrible idea. And then you just look at it all, you're like, I'm gonna sit on the couch for a little bit and just think about this.

Yeah, and then you're stepping over all the mess that you've made for the next week. For days, yeah, yeah, for days. So like literally, yes, I started this on Monday and last night I started putting stuff away. But last night, the first thing I addressed was the pantry and the fridge. I haven't cleaned my fridge for so long.

Like that thing was leaky, you know jam rings. Every time you try to pull something else, I was like stuck, like stuck by jam. So I did the fridge and that was all right. Got to the freezer and I was like, this is a monstrosity. There is five bags of half-open corn and peas and then mixed veg, which has corn and peas in it.

And the fridge, or the freezer. Oh, I was gonna say. Yeah, sorry. Don't keep your mixed veg in the fridge. No, no, that's definitely for the freezer. So I sort of sorted the freezer, and I was like, okay, in the fridge, that was all right, and I threw out my expired things,

some of them, like 2022. Oh, okay. Expired 2022. So like, this was good, this was good. And then my pantry's got these like pull out drawers. It's tall but slim. There's not a lot of space. It's got pull out drawers and it was just piles.

Like when I do my groceries, I just buy the things, I chuck them in and I was like, I'm gonna empty it, de crème, da da da da da. When I emptied it, I was aghast at what was in there. And we're in a cozy, livid cry. Vaughan's not here, but he's in a personal recession. He's in a personal recession, yeah. I should be.

Yeah. But I'm not. You're kind of ignoring your personal recession. Yeah, exactly. I'm ignoring it because, you know. And trying to spend your way out of it. Yeah, that's right. That's right, with little treats and stuff.

I found a way I'm gonna save money and I'm gonna do a food challenge because I emptied my pantry and I There was stuff in there. I didn't even know I had I'm talking five bags of pasta five bags of rice And then I'll be like I want to make a stir-fry. I'll go to the supermarket buy rice Yeah, and I'm just adding a sixth bag of rice soup Stir-fry goose. Yeah Nacho mix, all this flavour.

And I sorted it all out and what I found is I reckon I've got enough food to live on for months. So I was like, this is disgusting that I keep on buying this stuff when it's so expensive at the moment. But do you know why? It's because it's hidden in your pantry. It's so poorly organized.

And you don't see it, so you're like, well, I don't have it. I'm going to bake some cookies with another bag of sugar. Hey, there's eight bags of sugar in there. I've got flour. I've got everything I need to survive. You've done a stock take. I've done a stock take. I like this. And what I've realized is I don't need to buy anything more. So I was like, I'm going to do a food challenge. And rather than be like, what do I feel like for dinner?

I'm going to go to my pantry and I'm going to work my way. And rather than be like, what do I feel like for dinner? I'm gonna go to my pantry and I'm gonna work my way through this monstrosity, this abundance of food that I'm lucky to have, and I'm gonna eat that first until it's empty. Pasta with mixed veg, jam, just from the things you've told me. A sweet sort of sauce based on the jam. A goop, a goop.

Yeah, because I literally could make all of these meals and I was like, I'm gonna do a food challenge starting August 1st, which is- Why don't you start today? I'm like- What's the weekend and I want treats, do you know what I mean? Like a diet, like I'm starting Monday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then someone brings a birthday cake and on Monday at work and you're like, well, I guess I'm starting Tuesday. And then Tuesday, it's taco Tuesday. But I reckon I could rock a taco Tuesday. I could make tortillas. I've got flour. Easy. I've got spices.

I've got cans of beans. Cans, the cans. I'm gonna make these cans. Okay, good. From the first of August, or maybe I'll start on Monday. Maybe I will start on Monday. I'm still undecided. Depends if I'm hungover or not.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I'm gonna notecided. It depends if I'm hungover or not. Do you know what I mean? I'm gonna not buy any pantry staples and I'm gonna make up recipes based on what I have and too bloody bad if it's not what I feel like. I reckon a lot of people would be the same and they'd forget what's in their pantry. Yeah, and all I'm gonna be able to buy myself is fresh vegetables and maybe some protein sources,

some meat. Like some chickens and stuff. That is, some meat. And that's that. Like some chickens and stuff, yeah, okay. I am not buying anything else. Do you know what's good for this as well as AI? You can chuck in like, I've got pasta, I've got veggies, I've got this, and it will give you ideas of recipes.

Yeah, do you know what? And I might do a little mini series on my social medias and just share the abominations I come up with. Like rice noodles with nacho spice mix and some canned beetroot. Cause I'm down to the bottom and I've got to use up the beetroot and the rice noodles. You've got to use them all.

It's a food challenge, honestly. It's wasteful otherwise. Yeah, play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. This is going to cover news to no one, especially females. Yeah, I agree. They're listening right now, but an analysis was done by researchers of online dating sites and dating apps. And it has revealed their findings

that men tend to punch above their attractiveness level when it comes to swiping. Yeah. So they discovered overall successful matches were more likely to occur between people with similar levels of Desirability. Yeah as in similar similar levels of hotness. Yeah, and what's our number sevens with sevens eights with eights Yes, but this means that men have likely ended up settling for someone who they were initially less interested in Because they've been rejected by far more attractive options

I this 100% and like I don't listen but you haven't been on the on the dating apps but you guys slide into your day I know we've discussed this have constantly and I mean listen this is gonna come across as bitchy and I don't mean it too but you you you know sometimes someone slides into the DM across as bitchy and I don't mean it to but you know sometimes someone slides into the DMs trying it on. And I mean bear in mind you are an Invercargill 9.5. Thank you so much. Yeah.

Upon to be three. And a Les Mills, Auckland. I reckon it used to be a nine but I've dropped to an eight. I've dropped to an eight. I'm tired. But a Les Mills Christchurch 10. 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. A Europe one, which I just learned. It was a harsh lesson wasn't it?

It was actually good to be home. You have a number back up. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. Sometimes people will sign into my DMs very much being overt with their desires and the things they would like to do with and to me. And sometimes you look at them and you're like, God, what do I do in what world? But they shot high. They shot high. And this is exactly what the study says is that men will shoot higher.

Women nominate on average slightly less desirable mates and men send ties or swipes to women who are on average considerably more desirable than themselves. Yes, so women are like, I'm a piece of shit. Yeah, oh my God, I'm dirt. Like, no one, like, who would ever love me? I'll just like swipe on these kind of like maybe obtainable men. Yeah.

Because also like we would, I think women would have maybe more Stereotypically of a fear of rejection. So if we go low, right then we're then we're guaranteed. Yeah whereas yeah, if you swipe on a Italian ten I Don't think we're hearing back No, you're not hearing back. Are you? Actually though like we're having a laugh, but shoot your shot.

Yeah, exactly. To our minger listeners, and we are the chosen radio station for mingers. Well as a minger myself, absolutely. And we're well represented here on Fletchboard and Hayley for the mingers. Why not shoot your shot? You just never know. I mean that's the thing, I mean you see couples out there don't you? You're just like, hey, look at that minger. You can see they. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, you see couples out there, don't you? You're just like, hey. Look at that minger.

Play ZM's Flesh, Born and Haley. Play ZM's Flesh, Born and Haley. Now we've got a Friday flashback coming up. You've locked it in. I've decided. This song has just turned 25 years old. No. Yes.

No, but it was released in the year 2000. Yeah. It's 2025. That's wild, eh? I really think this is gonna be, it's gonna send people off into their Friday really well. TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE, it was in a big movie at the time. Huge movie. It was a huge song on the radio as well. Yeah. uh, Tripped Down Memory Lane, it was in a big movie at the time. Huge movie.

It was a huge song on the radio as well. Yeah, I'm happy with this pick actually. Okay, well. I was gonna go a bit rogue for a while. I will say I was gonna play Sheer, Do You Believe? I love that song. In Love. Yeah, I might park that.

You can have it next week if you want, cause that just came on my 90s playlist this morning. Joyful. Producer Shannon, let's talk fashion my hon. Yes. I respect her in the workplace, but I call her my hon and I want people to know that I do respect her as a producer. But just before you ask me your fashion question, I do want to shout out Shannon.

Shannon has a sewing kit. And I have dipped into this kit, what three times maybe? Yeah. At this point, I came in this morning. At quarter to six, Hailey's like, I'm peeling off my dress. Do you have a quick unpack? I was like, what is not Spotlight, Hayley?

And then Shannon said, yes Hon, welcome to Spotlight. Well it's because I'm wearing, I got this dress from Save Mart, like an op shop, and I was like, it's high on the pits for a 14. It's really high on the pits. Had a look and the girl had stitched the strap. She's obviously a shorter bod than me. Yeah.

I'm very long in the bod. Had stitched the straps shorter, but she'd kept the remainder of the strap. she's obviously a shorter bod than me, I'm very long in the bod, had stitched the straps shorter but she'd kept the remainder of the strap. She's a girl's girl. She's a girl's girl so I unpicked it. Georgia, look at Georgia, love that hair. How good. And now I've unpicked it, it is a perfect fit.

My sewing kit has really come in handy. I do have interfacing in there and one day someone's going to be like, I need, I've lost a button on a stiff shirt. I need some interfacing. You basically put it on fabric to stiffen it up. Like, if you had a button up shirt, a nice formal shirt on the back of the buttons would be some interfacing, so it's not flimsy-wimsy. Is that what they call that? Sort of stiff and your collar's...

I just thought it was other material. Well, it is, it is, but we call it interfacing. You call it other material. Just you wait. One day, my interfacing will come in handy. You're gonna hear me come in at 5.30am and be like, Shannon, can I borrow that interfacing? You'll be like, what's happening? I do have sewing scissors,

which I will not lend you for paper, Fletch. Oh, go on, you tell my mum. This is like my childhood. I was never allowed the good scissors. Now here it is from down the hall. Who used the sewing scissors on paper? Now I do have a fashion question for you, Hayley. Come at me.

So you know I'm a crochet girl, eh? I do know this. And I've kind of done every version of crochet now. I've done cardigans, I've done jumpers, I've done scarves, hats, everything. I've made dresses. You've done bookmarks. I've done bookmarks.

No, book G-strings. Yep, Carwin's literally got some here, I just got a commission sum for her. Oh my God, look at that, the book G-strings. Have you seen these? Your G-strings for a book and they hold your page open. Little bookmark. That's so funny, hey?

That's hilarious. I've got a new project and I'm unsure how it's gonna be received by the world. So I'm just sending you guys now a photo in the group chat. Fantastic, we love a photo in the group chat. This is the pattern I'm following. Because it's radio, we will try to describe here as best we can.

So imagine your grandma's crochet blanket. You know those crochet blanket every grandma had when I have my nannies, it's pink on pink on pink. But it's a whole cut through and it's a poncho. I'm trying to bring back the poncho. This is pretty, I think this is pretty hot. Really? Maybe it's the model.

Maybe it's just the model. Hot is not the word I went to. This is a hot look. Fletch, say it. This is a hot look. But you're imagining the model is slightly different and maybe you're imagining more like shorter hair and maybe browner.

I think we've lost him and he's headed to Mexico. That's what I'm saying. Maybe I have. Just picture me in a poncho. Are we ready as a society to bring it back? Do you know who we should have got on the blower? Beloved New Zealand musician Troy Kingi. That man rocks the hell out of a poncho

in a set of gumboots. What is the fashion cycle of a poncho? Is it out of- 70s? Well, so then they came back. When I was a kid, I had some. So 2000s-ish. So 30 years, we'd would say from the 70s.

I mean, we would go back hundreds of years to sort of Native America, but we won't talk on that too much. Yeah. Somebody on Reddit eight months ago asked, is wearing a poncho in 2024 a good idea? Okay, what's the vibe check? Keeps you warm, but not too warm.

Where are you reading this? Reddit. Don't trust everything on Reddit. Hmm. Yeah, no, fair call. Do you know what I mean? Are we, but like as a society, if I wear this, would you be like, she's a trendsetter or would you be like, babe? AI overview.

Okay. AI overview. Yes, ponchos are currently considered fashionable and have been making a comeback in recent years. They are versatile and stylish outerwear choices, offering a chic and comfortable way to wear layer clothing. Listen though, someone did just text in. Okay, because listen, you're a Gen Z,

you have to remain as fresh and relevant as possible. Cause I tell you what, Hon, it's over real quick. Okay? Yeah. And you won't even see it coming. You're gonna blink and then it's too late. Yeah, and then you'll be wearing clothes and younger people will look at you and they'll be like, oh cringe.

Someone just messaged in, I wore a poncho yesterday to school, I'm a teacher. The kids were not sure. What did that poncho look like? Because I will say, I was at the pub watching the Waz obviously. Up the Waz. And there was a gorgeous woman,

like she is, she shops at Karen Walker. You know what I mean? She's fit in perfectly there. Is Karen Walker doing a poncho? She was wearing a poncho and she looks chic. I think I just want to say Karen Walker wants to um she's just texted me immediately just then and said I want to distance myself from the poncho. She's more of a structured woman. I mean I really want to just put it out there I have started making it so if you tear me down it will upset me.

I was going to say one thing Shannon and I say this with love and respect and as someone who whose Passion is fashion. You are Well endowed Chesticles Got there is it all sort of balloon I think and then just drop from the and then it'll go straight down and you're gonna look perhaps we're gonna lose that figure. Boxy. Boxy. But bloat friendly. Yes. Buffet poncho. This is what you do. Buffet poncho, period poncho. You put it on when you're gonna eat or menstruate. Someone said Decuba selling them. Is that how he said it? Day Cuba yeah. I've always said day juba. It's a nice medium grey.

Okay. Shall I continue making the poncho then I'll wear it here and we'll decide how we feel. No no no no I've got the solution. Keep doing the poncho and then where your breasts will be cut a hole. So it it sits nice and flat against the torso, we've nailed it. Like a window for the boobs. Like singles. A boob window and it's gonna sit nice and flat. Perfect, we've nailed that.

Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Stoked with this, stoked with this. It is wild that this song is now turning 25 years old. 25 years ago, this song came out. It was the theme song of a very popular film that I tell you what, I'm ready to watch again. It's been years for me. Coyote Ugly. Coyote Ugly, of course, the girl who works at a bar and it's wild and she, you know,

it's such a great film. And it was the time of bars that were themed like cowboy bars. Yeah and that's coming back man. Shooters. Yeah yeah what was the one in Wellington? What was the one in Wellington? Damn it! Oh it was so good.

I can't remember it now. Dog? I don't remember dog. Was it coyotes? It was coyotes. It was coyotes. Yeah it was coyotes. No the dog It was Coyotes. Coyotes, Coyotes, yeah. It was Coyotes. No, the Dog one was, yeah, yeah, gosh. That's right.

But why was it that early 2000s, all bars were like that? Yeah, we wanted low rise, leather pants with flares and cowboy boots and sort of cowboy hats and Coyote Ugly was that film and this song was the theme song for it. It was number 11 on the Billboard 100. In New Zealand, it did very well. In Australia, it was number one. New Zealand. It was number 11 on the Billboard 100. In New Zealand it did very

well. In Australia it was number one. New Zealand it was number one. Netherlands it was number one. We're often aligned. Belgium number one. It was just an absolute banger. And I'm so in the mood from it. From the year 2000. Leanne Rimes, Can't Fight the Moonlight, the remix. Yes, it's your Friday flashback on ZM. It's your Friday flashback, Leanne Rimes, Can't Fight the Moonlight on ZM. It's 25 years old now, that song. You actually can't fight the moonlight. No, you can't.

You can't fight the moonlight. I have issues with this one, someone said. Oh, okay. One, how is this song 25 years old? Two, how has Leanne Rhimes been around for 25 years? And three, how old am I? Yeah. You were all feeling that.

Banger just realised I was 10 when I watched, oh my god, same, I'm 35. Why shouldn't it be nice to watch Coyote Ugly? No, not when you're, what was that movie rated? 10. Banger just realised I was 10 when I watched this and it was my favourite movie. But a lot of people saying there's two different versions, there is the remix version and then the original version. Where is it? It's Friday, we've got to play the remix. People saying no Ozzy Osbourne, disappointed Hayley.

This is... PG-13. It was a PG-13. Well, Patsy and Craig should be ashamed of themselves. Yeah. There were several anatomical references. What do you mean anatomical references? And some mild obscenities. And a couple of religious profanities and a few insults.

Jesus. Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I apologise. Yeah, the movie came out 2000 as well. Now we want to talk about now when you've had a bit of a numbers whoopsie. Yeah, so this is because of a TikTok that's gone viral. It's had, I think, last look over 16 million views. This is a woman that works in retail and was dealing in cash.

Now the total, she was serving this woman, she said that'll be $22.93. $22.93? And the woman hands her a $20 bill. And then the woman explains, I said to her, well, do you want to put the rest on your card because it's $22.93? And she handed a $20 note.

And that's when the woman that handed the $20 note had a real difficult time understanding that $22.93 is more than $20. Yeah, it's sort of in the, what I find helps me with numbers is it's in the number. It's in the name. Cause you say 20 and then you keep going, which means there's more.

And so she said, this woman's explaining in this TikTok video is like, so it's 22.93. So now you have to pay $2.93. And that's when the woman that handed the $20 note is like, no, you owe me $2.93. Oh, she's sort of, her brain's gone backwards. And she, this woman is just like flabbergasted and is like, try to explain to this woman that no, no, no, you've got it wrong

You've got it so wrong. I can imagine this woman digging in her heels and being like no you owe me money. Where's my change? Yeah, and so apparently um yeah This just went on and on and on and a manager had to come over and and then people in retail in the comments are like Oh my god, I feel you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I have to deal with you know, this kind of thing all the time I remember because it's hard now because you just swipe or you pay you tap and you go the comments are like, oh my God, I feel you. Like I have to deal with this kind of thing all the time. I remember, cause it's hard now because you just swipe or you pay, you tap and you go, you pay with your Fpos card. But I remember once when I was younger getting change back

and I was like, no, no, you haven't given me the right. And then, and then, and then in that quick moment when you actually, the maths does work in your head. You realize you've done dumb math. And you realize you actually have miscalculated. Yeah, I used to have this when I worked in retail, when on the other side of it, and people would like hand you cash

and you'd be like, sweet, and you work out the change, and you've just, you're like, this is what it is. Like 60 plus 50 is 100, so if you give me 100, then I'll give you 50. And you're like, that's such, you've screwed the numbers there. How did your brain have such a fart? Also like another number whoopsie is,

you know when you order four of something online and then like four bags of that thing to yourself and you're like, oh god no. Well this is what we wanted to ask this morning is whenever you had a numbers whoopsie. Yeah. Cause I mean, I'm terrible at maths. Like I will just, I'll just.

Yeah. I'm terrible at like. Like I will just, I'll just. Wow, yeah. I'm terrible at like anything but addition and times tables. And I asked the question, I asked the question again that I asked my maths teacher when I was 14, when am I gonna use this? When am I even gonna. And I haven't and that's why I'm bad at it. When am I gonna need that distance from the side of the triangle

to the other side of the triangle? Never. Never. Never. Mrs. O'Saucily's. Still haven't. Still haven't. Still haven't. haven't okay so oh 800 dials a day whether it was you mixing up some change or some numbers someone just takes and saying Haley 60 plus 50 is 110 not a hundred love yeah I know I was that was I was making an example of it darling yeah I know but I did also think

that when you said that I said what there's 110 oh no I know you yeah okay you were doing bad numbering. You were doing bad maths on purpose. Yes. Well that's what you're saying now anyway. Oh 800. Sweet recovery. Oh 800 dials at M, give us a call now,

we want you to text through 9696, whether it's on one side of the retail or the other. When have you had a numbers whoopsie, you've got the maths wrong in anything, you've been trying to calculate it something, and you've just got it way wrong. 0800 DALS at Amazon number 9 6 9 6 to text in. When did you have a numbers whoopsie? A retail worker in America has gone viral on TikTok trying to explain to a woman who handed her $20 that she did need to pay more money because $22.93 is more than $20.

No, you owe me $2.93. No! How are you getting that mad? I gave you $20, so you owe me $20. Oh my god, that would be infuriating. We want to know when you've had a numbers whoopsie. Maybe you're bad at maths like me or this woman. Yeah.

I mean, I'm not that bad, but yeah. So, someone, my mum bought 10 sausages with her online groceries and instead received 10 KGs. Do you know why? Okay that's pretty funny. If I've got a freezer though I'm not mad. Well I guess you, what do you do, you bought them right? Barbecue. When you paid did you not think this is a lot? But do you know what in this day and age you might just be like wow that's a lot but yeah maybe But do you know what, in this day and age, you might just be like, wow, that's a lot, but yeah, maybe. Do you know what I mean?

I did have butter. God, inflation, groceries are going up. Oh, they're really going up. Anonymous, when did you have a numbers whoopsie? Hello darling. Is this me? That is you darling. Ah, hello, good morning. Hello.

So many, many moons ago, I was doing my shopping Here I go scoop in my planer thinking yeah And I miss read the price is price per kilogram But what it actually was was price per hundred grams. Oh yeah, they're an exquisite nut. So you're ladling these things in being like, cheap as chips.

Oh yeah, yeah. How much did it come to? Now I also need to say that I am like a die-hard people pleaser. And so I rock up to the checkout and I can scan through and I'm like oh cool that's expensive and the cashier said you know oh they didn't realize that was the price and I said no I didn't but the queue of people behind me is massive and she said do you want to keep them and I'm was like, um, yeah, sure. So then I walked out with $115 of pine nuts. Oh my god!

Do you know what, though? You've got pesto on the brain, you're not abandoning them. You could just buy your own pesto. I know it's expensive, but that would have probably been cheaper. I know, but a tub of pesto is like five mucks. It would have been infinitely cheaper.

And that was a real hit as a university student. Oh my god! We're getting course related costs for pine nuts. Yeah we are, we are. Still paying that off years later as well. Oh god. Anonymous, thank you. Some more messages. Oh I added an extra zero to a payment

and invoiced the lads $900,000 instead of $90,000. Oh no! That is a big numbers whoopsie. That's the biggest numbers whoopsie we've had so far. Hang on, there's so many messages coming in. My partner works with millimetres as a roofer, and my poor brain is constantly converting to centimetres. I've always been like, oh my god, that's huge.

Yeah, I'm always like that as well. As a builder, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because 10 mils is a centimetre, 100 mils is 10 centimetres. See, as a builder. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, cuz 10 miles is a centimeter 100 miles is 10 centimeters see my brains already like Yeah Oh Yeah, kind of relevant story. I was in my first HR role and when loading a new employee I accidentally paid them fifty thousand dollars to their bank account six weeks before they even started instead of loading it as their annual salary amount. Oh my god, you're going to sell it in a day.

I would have just taken it all out and left the country and moved to London. Goodbye, I live in Bali now. Exactly. A lot of people are adding extra amounts. Hubby had a numbers mishap as a teen, bought two meals from the $1 menu, spending $2.50, handed over $5, and got $8.50 back. Okay, what? What the hell just happened? What the hell just happened?

Bought two meals from the $1 menu, spending $2.50. Wait, the dollar menu, they should be $1, so it should have been $2. Handed over five bucks, got $8.50 back. You're not saying anything, are you? Whatever. You're not saying anything. My mum went to a psychic. He said, you have children, don't you?

Wow. Because that would be an anomaly, how would he know that? She said yes and listed her kids. The psychic looked at her funny and said, I think you've forgotten someone. And he was right. She had a fifth child and she'd forgotten me. Okay, so that was a numbers who was right. She had a fifth child and she'd forgotten me. Yeah.

Okay, so that was a numbers whoopsie. I'm a classics teacher. I'm constantly having to work out dates because of all the ancient stuff I have to deal with. Oh yeah, and they're all letters, aren't they? Letters. I love those. Oh yeah, because when you're like A, D and B, C. Yeah.

So you can be like negatives and then into positives. And then it's X, X, one, one, X, Y, Z. And you're just like, I don't know what year that is, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't even know. I'm also useless at maths, so it takes an embarrassingly long amount of time to do that. So in the year 1846, which was a few years before. 1846 plus 100, that's 1946. OK, plus 64. So now we're in the year 2000 plus 25.

And the kids are just like, yeah, who's teaching whom? Oh, miscalculated P-A-Y-E, pay as you earn, and gave everyone at work an accidental tax cut for a few months, whoopsie doopsie. Except when they do their taxes at the end of the year and they have to pay it back. Yeah, and you're like, that money gone, bro. I spent that.

Oh my God, there's so many people in payroll doing bad numbers. Well see, I couldn't be in payroll, I'd do exactly this. I'm too like, rushed. I'm too quick, I'm just like, that'll do. It looks about right. Someone said this is kind of a numbers whoopsie.

Whoopsie was when I was pregnant and online grocery shopping, I wanted to get one avocado but what I accidentally ordered ordered was one avocado colored flannel I can't eat that. I mean I guess it's kind of a number one. I mean if you're pregnant though people have eaten weirder things. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Hi, it's me, Hayley. Vaughan's not here. Yep, he's back Monday.

He is back Monday. Allegedly. He wants me to say that. Allegedly. He's back Monday, maybe. He's got a mortgage, so he'll be back. Yeah, we'll see you Monday, bright and early. Anyway, it's foods named after other foods

that they're nothing like, Like, like pineapple or um... Yeah. Just ding that bell. Anyway, move on. Um, foods named after... Where did he go? God, I love it. Haley, get it together and stop perving at people walking to work.

And how did I know someone was behind me? How did I know someone was behind me? Because you've got a periphery. Yeah, I do have a periphery. Anyway, sorry, please, it's a professionalism, it's Friday. Food's named after other foods week. I've enjoyed this week as much as I have enjoyed picking up the tail end of it.

Today, we are dealing with the origins of cheesecake. Okay. Oh no. Because it's nothing to do with cheese, is it? I was supposed to make a cheesecake last night and I didn't. Okay. I was going to make a cheesecake. I bought all the ingredients.

I got so excited. Put that back in your pantry for your food challenge. Far out. Throwback, throwback to... Now I've got gingernuts and I bought a block of butter. We're going to make a gingernut cheesecake. Yeah, gingernut base. Oh yum. ginger nuts and I bought a block of butter. We're gonna make a ginger nut cheesecake. Yeah, ginger nut base. Oh yum.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or shall I make it and I'll bring it in on Monday? Yeah, I'm not the hugest cheesecake fan, but- Look at the girls, they're like, yes. Yeah, absolutely. You're not a cheesecake fan. Not really. Well, I'm not a fan of you anymore.

Why is it called cheesecake when it actually doesn't have any cheese in it? And the origin is not the fact, this is before cream cheese was even a thing okay that it got its name the cheese but obviously referring to the soft cheese used in the filling and the cake referring to the shape and presentation but here's the twist cheesecake is not actually a cake what is it a slab not technically a cake by definition is made from a batter of

flour eggs sugar and then you know yeah baking soda or something to make it It's like a slab. Not technically. A cake by definition is made from a batter of flour, eggs, sugar, and then, you know, baking soda or something to make it fluffy. A cheesecake in contrast is, in fact, a custard tart. Yeah, right, because it's, okay, but it doesn't have a side though. Mix of soft cheese, eggs, and sugar, often baked in a crust or base.

Closer to a pie or a tart than it is a cake. What's a flan? Egg. Okay. A's a flan? Egg. Okay. A, egg and gelatin? Right. A gelatin-y custard? Right, okay.

I don't F with flan. But, see. Do you know what I mean? No. Imagine if you were at a restaurant and it was like, do you want a cheesecake, or the souffle, or the volcano cake, or do you want a flan?

Who's getting flan? No one. Hopefully they just keep that in the freezer because no one's getting it. So because it's round and has been inslicable, that's why people started calling it a cake. But the cheese bit has ancient roots, according to this email from my friend Vaughan Smith.

An ancient Greece cheesecake like this was served to athletes at the first Olympic Games. For energy, simple ingredients, cheese, wheat and honey. Okay, that's carbo loading, isn't it? That is carbo loading. Yeah. Loading. They then, the Romans-

Because they didn't have Powerade, did they? They didn't have Powerade, Gatorade or V. Romans then adopted and adapted it, calling it Lebum. They used eggs and baked it on a pastry, so we're getting more sweeter. And then in the Middle Ages, cheesecake evolved throughout Europe using farmers' fresh cheese curds like ricotta. And that's when it started getting into your like, choosiness. So cream cheese wasn't even around. And then America was like,

hey, we love to take traditional things and make it a bit grosser. They made a Philly cream cheese. Yum. Then it became the key ingredient of the New York cheesecake. Okay. Then it stuck cheesecake. That's where it got its cheesiness. Okay.

So today's final fact of the day of foods named after other foods that they're nothing like week, is that cheesecake is neither really made from proper cheese, nor is it actually a cake. Oh, fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Ah do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Happy Friday everybody.

Now yesterday, I was home by myself and it was very quiet. I live in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. Very joyful, I'm the loudest thing about it and that's exactly what I wanted. I'm sure your neighbours don't think it's quiet. Yeah, I know. And I don't care.

So I was doing some work on my laptop yesterday and type, type, type, type, type. Now I am very sensitive to noises, particularly like hums, buzzes, little, like little. You must love those little mini fridges they have in motel and hotels. I wouldn't know, I'd pull it out the moment I'm there. Bye, but I can have warm milk, I don't care.

Yeah. Zzzzz, that little rattle it's got to it. My least favourite one would be the faint sound of a party. You know what that is? Yeah. I hate it. Ringing buzzer, anything. So there's always kind of-

Remember that time you were at war with your neighbours in your old neighbourhood? He pissed in my car van. Yes. Speaking of loud parties that were non-stop. He literally pissed in my car vent and my air conditioning vent and my car smelled like urine for ages. Yeah.

Yeah, I do remember that. I think they won. I'm going to be honest, they won. They won even though I threw all of their glass bottles up their driveway, hit them and they shattered. They won. They pissed in my air conditioning vent. Touche.

I always think about that and it makes me laugh. So I remember all the time, every time I think about being a dick to a neighbour, I'm like, you don't want them pissing in your Mazda. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. That's not even my car, I don't even own that. Yeah, it was a valuable life lesson.

Imagine me going to Mazda as their ambassador and be like, hey, you know that car that you're lending me? Someone's pissed in the van because I caused a ruckus. Yeah. Sorry. Anyway, so yeah, quiet neighbourhood. And I'm on my laptop and I start to hear this like, kind of like, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr care? I live in the city, so I'm used to all noises.

Every kind of little noise to you will get drowned out by the sound of screaming and sirens and crime. Murder, crime. Murder, spray paint, you know being sprayed. City buses. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we're gonna get in the Uber Sally, that kind of stuff out your window.

People talking on there, do you know what people do? Cause I live above some traffic lights, people are loud, speaker free. Speaker free conversations. I know and you always hear it. You're like, that's so loud. Dude, I'm like floors up here. How can you not hear that?

Yeah, I know. You poor eardrums. No, no, no, it's just an annoying enough sound. So I'm like putting, and I start going towards my laptop, my ear and I was like, I think it's in there. And the more I bend, the louder it's getting. I'm like, oh my God, the lower, I'm getting lower and lower.

I'm like hearing it. I'm like, oh my God. So you know you can pop the keys out of here because I've got a bit of a stick, not this laptop, my other one's a bit, kind of getting a bit manky. So I was like popping things, holding the thing up, I was like,

oh my God, it's not in there. So I sniff around the house for about 30 minutes and it's following me, so I'm like, oh my god, it's not in there. So I sniff around the house for about 30 minutes and it's following me, so I'm like, it's everywhere. Oh my god, okay. The sound, it's everywhere. I'm like, listening, I go into the precious side table. You, no, not you, not the computer, not the fridge, not in the kitchen, why is it following me?

It's following me. I'm going down, I'm going down, down, down, down, down. I get into the bathroom, one of the quietest rooms, I'm like, down, down, down, down, down. I was like, oh my God, I found the sound. It's my tummy. It was my literal stomach making the most consistent,

almost kind of electronic, like endlessly, honestly, like an an hour how did you not know it was your stomach sound you know when you're someone's like you're like oh my god my tummy yeah it's a real yeah it's you know and you feel it it was it was the honestly the weirdest noise I was so convinced it was my computer was my air conditioning I was like it's the unit it's the heat pump outside and I was it's my gurgling stomach. Right did you have like a sandwich or something? No I hadn't eaten but what I had I had a second half of a block of Whittaker's chocolate. Did that

stop it? Lightly lactose intolerant. Yeah. No no no that's what had caused the gurgling for an hour. Oh, right, okay, too much chocolate. Too much chocolate caused me to gurgle like a computer. Play ZM's Fletchporn and Hayley. We ran a quickie little poll based on an online debate. When you're sitting at a cafe or a restaurant or a bar or whatever and there's a booth and then there's a chair, what side are we sitting on?

And particularly- If it's a date- If it's a date- If it's a date- You would say that the female gets comfortable because it's normally a padded- If it's a heteronormative straight date. You'd normally offer the seat that's padded and has a padded back to the female.

Because we're fragile, we're little whimpering lilies in the wind. This debate happened online because someone was at a restaurant or a bar or a cafe and they took a video and all the guys were seated on the plastic chairs. Plastic or metal, whatever. And all the women were in the nice, boothy, comfortable fabric seats and then there was one table where the guy was sitting in the comfortable seat.

Boo! And everyone was like, oh, okay, chivalry. Yeah, and also we're not getting a second date, dude. And I just see it off here to you, Fletch. Sometimes I like to do a side saddle, side by side in a booth. Sometimes I see couples sitting together side by side at a table.

I'm like, weird. Because no one will back down. That's weird. I'm not sitting on the chair. Yeah, but I like to, when I go to a cafe, I don't like my back to the door because of snipers. So because you know- Because you do have a hit. Because I'm a hit man.

So I need to be facing the door for any threats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't want a Tony Soprano situation. And also if you're at a table, you want to like see people walking by, you want to like, you don't want your back. But if I'm at a table with you, so do I. You know what I mean?

Why have I got my back towards the beautiful sea view or something like that? Yeah, I know. And I'm in a metal chair. We're in a padded booth. Well, we ran a quickie little poll as we like to do. We said girlies because we're asking the girlies, because it is a bit of a sort of, you know, chivalry situation.

Girlies, what seat should you sit on on a date? Booth side or seat side? 90% say both sides. Yeah. Okay. So there you go, guys, if you're on a date, you have to offer the seat to the female. Now Aisha, who's messaged her,

not our Aisha, a different Aisha. She's above deck, this one. She's above deck, ours is the below deck. Our Aisha is below deck. That's right, that's how we tell the two Asias apart. Shannon loved that, by the way. Aisha says, she might be a hit man as well, like you. Because she says never have you back to the room. Yeah, see, exactly. Do you know what I mean? Snipers, she might be a hitman as well like you. Okay. Because she says never have you back to the room.

Yeah, see exactly. Do you know what I mean? Snipers, she's right. Kat said, Dad always told me have you back to the wall in case of a gun fight. Okay, so we've got a lot, what we've got here. Is men watching hitman movies and spy movies. A says, for comfort, booth for a quick escape chair.

Yeah, oh my God, sometimes you do have to scoot into a booth. Shannon's going on about a rabbit theory. What are you talking about? Earlier in the show we were talking about being in an Uber ride and I said how I sit behind the driver because I- So you can attack him from behind and choke him out.

Oh that's right, and you said that rabbits stand in the corner of the room. They'll never sleep in the middle unless they're comfortable. And my rabbit theory is if you're in the corner, you're safe. But how does- You know rabbits don't live in houses. What happens in central Otago farms?

Tell that to Peter Rabbit. Yeah, what? Thank you. Do they stand in the corner of the paddock? That's cause you, sometimes paddocks are huge. Yeah, there's like trees and stuff though. Corner, I'm just saying. I don't think your rabbit theory's a thing.

No, my rabbit theory is a thing. We're not even calling it a theory. Hashtag rabbit theory. No, not, but it's on a hashtag. Do we get feedback on this? Do people just overwhelming, okay. I'm giving you, this is what I'm reading now. Heather, seat, easier to make a getaway if needed.

I just feel like everyone's so on edge. We're not under attack. We're one of the few countries currently not at war. But we could be. God. Well, listen, if you're on a date, and particularly gentlemen, if you're into the ladies and you're going on a date this weekend

and you turn up to a restaurant, cafe, or wherever you're going, and there's a booth and a seat, sit your ass down in that metal chair, dude. I need you to remember though that we're not dating, so I get whatever seat I get if I get that seat. I hate that. He's pulling the friendship card and the feminism card card and I have no response to either of them. Yeah you don't do you?

Is that the podcast done? Cause I'm busting for a poos. Busting for a poos. Jesus.
