Also just to talk more about movies, there's a sequel that was announced, I saw it yesterday and I thought, this is fake AI. Until I saw who posted it.
Starting point is 00:01:49 And it started filming. Yeah. How did no one know about this? It started and everyone is excited. We'll delve into that soon on the show. Also, we want to celebrate our producer Carwin. She's got a massive milestone that she just ticked off. Next on the show though.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Something that we've been trying to talk about all week but it makes our skin crawl. Yeah. We're going to talk about it next. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. I don't know why this makes my skin crawl as much as it does. Because I know that the way that we consume food as a planet is not sustainable.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And so we're trying to come up with other things. We're eating cricket flour and the likes for protein sources. But there's a restaurant, a Haitian restaurant. I even don't think I've had Haitian food before. Oh, well in Haiti, it must be in America. It's in Portland. Because Haiti is an absolute like warland. Yeah, Haitian food.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Is that like a political, what is the situation in Haiti? Well because the devastating earthquake. It's on the same island as the Dominican Republic. Yeah, it's the left hand side. And then you have all these amazing beaches but That's sort of been neglected. Yeah and the
Starting point is 00:03:00 gangs just control the whole country now. The gangs. The gangs. Well I don't know what they eat but there's a Haitian restaurant in Portland The gangs just control the whole country now. The gangs. The gangs. The gangs. Yeah. Well, I don't know what they eat, but there's a Haitian restaurant in Portland that is offering lab-grown salmon. And it's a pinkish orange. It's streaked with the white lines of fat.
Starting point is 00:03:20 How are they offering it? This must be growing. Is it the lab that's working with the restaurant? Yeah, they're the first restaurant to put it on their menu. They haven't done it. I don't know why but like lab-grown meat, like red meat isn't as weird to me as this. Do you feel the same? Because this is fish. Yeah, exactly. It comes from... But it's got no bones in it. No bones. So come, that's the bit that really... no scales and no bones. You don't even... there got no bones in it. No bones. So that's the bit that really, no scales and no bones.
Starting point is 00:03:47 There's no skin in it. Oh wait, so it's the best bits. The skin in mine. All the worst bits are gone. Yeah, oh no, I like the skin sometimes. It comes from cells grown in tanks at a former microbrewery in San Fran. And it's been given the tick of approval by the FDA,
Starting point is 00:04:03 the Food and Drug Administration. So it starts off as a fish, like an actual fish? No, no, no, no, there's not a fish in it. and it's been given the tick of approval by the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration. So it starts off as a fish, like an actual fish? No, no, no, no, there's not a fish in it. It is like a by-product of making beer basically, that they use the cells from. It's intent, you can only consume, you wouldn't consume, I know, you wouldn't, you can't cook it, like it wouldn't go flaky. It's just to be consumed raw like sushi or cured like ceviche or something. So I read a vegan tried their lab-grown meat. What a conundrum that must have been.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Oh yeah. An article. They decided to taste cultivated, this is lab-grown, cultivated meat. So they had it as salmon gravlax which is thinly sliced with guacamole. Yeah. Pleasantly fishy they said, which is thinly sliced with guacamole. Pleasantly fishy they said, savoury and noteworthy. I don't like it! Pleasantly fishy, no, no thanks. Listen to what they said. So they are made from plants or fermentation.
Starting point is 00:05:00 The cells are isolated from specificity, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, a mix of nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, salts, sugars, proteins, and fat. Oh God, is this what we're gonna all be eating? Put into a big steel tank. Yeah, so that's at the microbrewery. And then someone said, imagine kind of a fancy Gatorade. And then it's put into a centrifuge where it's sort of like the solid part comes out
Starting point is 00:05:24 and then they colour it and make it look like salmon. Oh no. There's something about a boneless salmon. It just feels so wet, tongue-like. Mmm. They had it in ceviche and said it was tasty but the spongy texture was more noticeable and less convincing. Spongy? Cause that, I mean, I'm all power to people that are trying to find me alternatives, but that chicken ain't fooling no one No, I can taste the string. They had a chicken taco and said surprisingly realistic The texture mimicked shredded thigh meat well and was described as nearly perfect. They're a vegan. When did they last have meat?
Starting point is 00:05:58 Yeah, you don't even know Yeah, cook a juicy chicken thigh on the barbecue. Yeah. That's chicken. And nail it. And nail it. That would be a good test actually, would be to take some lab-grown meat
Starting point is 00:06:12 to one of those meat festivals and trick the, you know, the big old mates that love a big chop. Yeah, come and try my sausage. Yeah, big sauce. Vegan sausage as well. Vegan sausage is so dense. And then if you could trick that audience. You're on to something. Then you're on to something, I think. Yeah, big sauce. Ooh, vegan sausages. Vegan sausages. So dense. And then if you could trick that audience, then you're on to something, I think. But at this stage, I think I'll stay clear of lab-grown salmon. Lab-grown salmon.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Thank you. Play Zed M's, Flash, Vaughan and Hayley. Big day, a big moment for producer Carwan. Yeah. Producer Carwan, what are we celebrating today? Guys, it's a big moment. I am no longer in debt to this government. Yay! I paid off my student loans.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Well, you are technically every payday you're in debt, aren't you? You pay them a little bit. Yeah. Wait, no. Now you're just in debt. Don't have that attitude to taxes. Taxes pay for things. Tax not debt. Tax not debt. Taxes contribute into a. Tax not debt. Tax not debt. Taxes contribute into a society that we wanna be part of.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Or it can be debt if you don't pay it. I pay for the road. Yeah, so I have roads to drive on. Okay, well, it's a big moment. I know, I always thought that I'd be older when I paid it off, but I have just every so often put a bit of extra on there. Wow.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Wow, that's because people don't normally do that. Yeah, Jacinda told us not to. Remember during COVID and she was, and then when the recession hit and she was like, don't pay off unnecessary shit like your student loan. Cause it doesn't accumulate interest. So she was like, just let it tick in. I also don't remember her saying shit
Starting point is 00:07:40 at any one of those white press conferences. She did. She was the cool mom. Why didn't she just wipe it then? She doesn't want us to pay it, just wipe it. Yeah. You know what I'm gonna do about debt. She would never have got away with that.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I have a story, granddad has a story about student loans. Gather round, gather round. Gather round young children. Because when I got my student loan, it was 7% interest. Far out. Which is the moment you finished it
Starting point is 00:08:04 or you even started. I think it was when you took the money. When you took the money and so you had to pay seven percent and even if you lived in the country because I think that's the rule now if you go to overseas. Six months you have to be out of the country for six months and then it starts. And then how much interest? Is it still at seven percent? I think it's seven. Yeah and And so I think I, I don't know how much, it was nearly double what I borrowed that I paid back. It was insane. And so when I finally did pay it off, It felt good.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It felt so good. And then I think it was literally three weeks later, then Prime Minister Helen Clark, losing the election in the polls, said student loans are free and will be interest free. And she won re-election and I was like... Auntie Helen. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I swore. I swore. I hate to think. And I said, but I've been paying tax. Interest. But then you realised you sounded like so much of a boomer because when you went to uni it was so much cheaper than it is now and the cost of living and everything.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Yeah, that's true. So you then took a moment of self-reflection. Well actually no, I actually got into tax fraud. And I clawed the money back in other ways. You know the film Catch Me If You Can? That's based on Fletch. Yeah. Tax dodge.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I was the very first year level who got the free year of uni and I was Carwin's first year and I remember them hating us. What? That's right, yes. Did you get your first year free? I was the first's first year and I remember them hating us. That's right, yes. Did you get your first year free? I was the first year level to get that.
Starting point is 00:09:28 So we rock up to uni going, whoa, this is free. And our degree was expensive. So it was a huge help. Yeah. And all of my second years, including Carwin, were like these bitches. It's weird that you're going to friends.
Starting point is 00:09:39 That's how I felt when they dropped their interest. But it is kind of almost, you can girl math the situation now because every payday you now have free money. A little scrap, because you've been surviving just fine. You know what I mean? On paying your student loan. Girl, let's go shopping.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I know, oh my God, I could buy that bracelet that you're wearing probably now. Oh my God, I know. This is not gonna work. Oh my God. What do they call that? The lifestyle creep. Hey, you get a pay rise,
Starting point is 00:10:06 you think I'm gonna be able to save money now and go on a nice holiday because of this. And then everything else is creeps. No, no, no, you just buy nice butter. Yeah. You lose so much money. You just buy butter. Yeah, and it all sort of adjusts out.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Well, congratulations, Carmen. It is a big day. Yeah, big day, big big big day. Great stuff. Shannon, Shannon, where are you at with yours? I've got 22 to go. Okay. I got the first year free as well. Geez, you have not touched that.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah, man, listen, I took out every cent I could get. So did I. I was 38. Yeah. Oh, wow. 38? Yeah, because I did all the getting out the living costs. You were learning how to roll on the floor as a wave. Do you want to see it?
Starting point is 00:10:48 That cost... Do you want to see it? Yes I do. Drop down. Wow. Okay, you know what? That's worth the 38,000 dollars I think. Play.
Starting point is 00:10:59 ZM. Spledgeforn and Hayley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the top 6. I've speak to Mr. Jeter. Yo, what's up? Yo, what's up? Canterbury, there has been some reports of some fake 50s. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:17 The Canterbury police are saying these are commercial... Oh, give it a him, babs. The Canterbury police are saying these are commercially produced $50 fraud notes. Well, like in somebody's printing press. Like someone is, it's not a sort of a home made 20 of these. It's a, I've made heaps of them. Oh dear.
Starting point is 00:11:37 They've gone to the extent. They said they're not, the things they can tell you are they thicker, stiffer and shinier, which is my nickname in high school. Thicker, stiffer and shinier, which is my nickname in high school. Thicker, stiffer and shinier. You wish it was. Actually, my Rock Quest band name.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah, thicker, stiffer and shinier. We were a three piece. We did like punk pop, sort of Green Day inspired. Great, yeah. We did think about getting a trumpeter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you couldn't find one. Yeah, no, so we just sat for the three piece. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:06 What were we called again? Stiffer, thicker and shinier. It's odd that people still use money. Like I don't remember the last time I had money unless I was overseas. You've been cashed up recently. It's... I find it the most effective way to budget.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I think you better say I find it the most effective way of dodging the IRD. That's actually the third time we've joked about not paying taxes and I do not. I pay it. I pay many the taxes. Check the records. I'm paying it.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Let the records show. I pay. Tax pay. Tax pay? Heaps of it. And then you ask for a bit more and I paid it. Yeah, I don't argue with you. I don't argue. Because I don't want to go to jail. Even though it would be nice to white call a jail. Jesus, I just want to break you. I don't argue. Because I don't want to go to jail. No.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Even though it would be nice, a white collar jail. Jesus, I just want to pray. Sometimes they let you have a garden and I believe there might even be sky or some basic free view channels. I think if we, some have a cat. Some prisons have a cat. Can I take my Disney Plus subscription to prison? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:13:01 That's the one I pay for once a time. Yeah, maybe. You'll just have to shelve an iPhone up your anus. Oh, can I just put it on the Smart TV? Cause those white collar prisons have Smart TVs. I'll get a drone to drop you an iPad in. Thanks, I hope for sure. I think you deserve an iPad.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yeah, well, these ones are thicker, stiffer and shiny, but I've got the other top six ways you can tell that the $50 notes are fake. Okay. Number six on the list, of course, our $50 note has Sir Aurana Nata on it. Kelda. The fakes have Sir April Iremea on it.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Oh right! The former netballer and sports reporter. Yes. Yeah. Right, okay. You'll tell the difference because she doesn't have the moustache. No she doesn't. That guy's moustache.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Oh it's a good... Slug of a thing. Thicc slug. Thicc slug. I feel like, yeah, they used to have great moustache. Oh, it's a good... A slug of a thing. Thick slug. Thick slug. I feel like, yeah, they used to have great moustaches back in the day, but not as much now. We just don't clone like we used to. No. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Probably all the hormones and all the food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're turning us into gay frogs. Yeah. Breasts. With tits. With tits. Gay frogs with tits.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Gay frogs with tits. Yeah. Gay frogs with tits was actually the album of Thicker's Shania and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeahirey and stuff. Now I know Earl who listens to the show always uses AI to make us some album art for our fake Rock Quest bands. I can't wait for that one. So I'm looking forward to seeing it Earl. Number five on the list is that... I just thought I woke up this morning and I was like, I feel better, but I don't sound great. Don't push it. Number five on the list of the top six signs the $50 note was fake. The signature purple, beautiful vivid purple, isn't it, Apple?
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah, it is. It looks a bit weird because if you look close enough, it's just blue crayon and then someone's gone over it lightly with red crayon. To make purple. So it is purple, but it's not that vivid purple. Number four on the list of the top six signs the $50 note is fake.
Starting point is 00:14:44 The window on the note Yeah, is actually secondhand glad wrap and it's still got a bit of sandwich on it I don't know how anyone does a fake note these days. It'll be really flimsy The window. I think that's why it's thicker because they have to Probably put the plastic in between right? I'd love to go to because I think we're still getting our money made in Canadia Oh are we? Are we? How do you know that?
Starting point is 00:15:07 How do you know that? I just remember reading it once. And I'd love to go and see it being made. Yeah it'd be amazing. What a fascinating trip it would be. Do you think Adrian Orr of the Reserve Bank got to go when he was in charge? Well maybe, I don't know. I'd imagine that would be part of the...
Starting point is 00:15:19 Who's in charge of our Reserve Bank now? I don't know, there's a guy doing it in the interim. Jeanette Hawksby. Jeanette Hawksby. What interim. Janette Hawksby. Janette Hawksby. What? Yeah. Christian Hawksby. Yeah, Janette Hawksby's husband.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah, but he goes by Janette. He goes by Janette. Mr Janette. Janette's husband. Janette's husband. Yeah, because often that will happen, you know, if there's a celebrity couple, they'll refer to the female of the couple,
Starting point is 00:15:41 a so-and-so's girlfriend. Yeah, Mr and Mrs Craig Sproul, they used to call my mum. Oh, I know. No. That'soul, I used to call my mum. Oh no. No. That's not on. She's her own woman. Top six signs the $50 note is fake.
Starting point is 00:15:50 The bird on the back, which of course would be the kukako, the beautiful songbird, is actually just a KFC quarter pack. Yum. Still a bird. Still a bird. It's a delicious bird. I would say New Zealand's favourite bird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I haven't had KFC in years. Good for you. Man, yum. Number two on the list of the top six signs the $50 note is fake. Of course all notes have serial numbers. Yep. But all of these notes, the serial number is 69-69-420.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Nice. Yeah, it's a great number. Nice, nice, nice. And number one on the list of the top six signs the $50 note is fake. It's not even plastic, it's actually just like baking paper. Oh, okay. Oh wow. Baking paper, somebody's cut up their mum's roll of baking paper and printed the notes on it. Similar in texture, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:32 It slips slightly, but not thicker, shinier and stiffer. Stiffer. Yeah. Not at all, that is today's top secret. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley. So I was on Instagram yesterday and I see a pair of red high heels. Oh, yeah come across my feed and I stop and I was like Oh, this is a joint post by step because I follow Stanley Tucci. Oh on Instagram

And I was like, Red High Heels, Stanley Tucci, 20th Century Studios. I clicked the video, The Devil Wears Prada II,
Starting point is 00:17:36 now in production. How do we, usually you would hear, sequel in the works, or writers working on da da da da da like when Freaky Friday got its remake with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis everyone was like ah but we knew about it so long before they even started it. Whereas this is them filming and confirmed Meryl Streep and Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. But who's, one of them's not coming back.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Was there a guy that's not coming back? I forget who was in it. Oh, the boyfriend. The boyfriend, yeah, he's not coming back. No. Good, cause he tried to hold her back. You know, he couldn't get out of his own way. He was, he acted selfishly. Yep.

Yeah, he was the high fashion guy who kind of teased her and took her out for an amazing night. I've watched it once years ago. I've watched it hundreds of times.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I've never seen it. It's one of those movies like, I don't know, Notting Hill or what's that Christmas movie everyone watches? Love Actually. Love Actually, yeah. You are the only person in the world that would describe Love Actually as that Christmas movie. I don't even look particularly like Love Actually but I know it's called Love Actually. Yeah that Christmas movie everyone watches. So aiming for a next year release? Not sure I mean it's just out of production so I guess it'll be next late next year.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Next year is 20 years since that'd be why What devil wears Prada to opens in theaters May 1st? 2026 so this one came out on the 30th of June 2006 or 20 years after the wow This is incredible.

Starting point is 00:19:44 I just, I'm so excited about this. Well, not long to wait, May next year. That's like the cast. He's phenomenal. I'm so excited about this. Well not long to wait, May next year. That's like less than a year. Speaking of movies, Jurassic World Rebirth is out in cinemas in New Zealand tomorrow and this is exciting. After the news at 8 o'clock we are joined by Scarlett Johansson. Jonathan Bailey with his little glasses. And Mahershala Ali. Yes. The stars of the movie. Someone's looked up how to say his name. Yes, you've done well.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Do you know that's also just a small portion of his name? Is it? His actual birth name is significantly longer. All I think of is Mahershala Carlson for some reason because of Mahershala Carlson. That works. That's how to remember it. That's how to remember it.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hailey. Fletch Vaughan and Hailey, silly little pose, silly little pose. Today's Silly Little Polar are video games too expensive? I'm just quickly scrolling through the comments to just see if the point I want to bring up first. Nope. Really? Well, a story comes to us from the BBC. The BBC.
Starting point is 00:20:56 The BBC. Talking about how expensive video games are now and how, you know, people commenting it is costing me a whole day's wages. Jesus, Louisa. Just for a game, the consoles themselves are very expensive as well. Switch 2 is out and it's expensive, but it's life, baby. I don't play a lot of video games, but I don't think they're in the scheme of how much entertainment it gives you.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Bingo. I just don't think it is that much. You go to the movies and pay $20 whatever or a ticket, you're there for two hours. Oh, and I'm getting some Maltesers. Yeah, okay, it all adds up, baby. It's a $40 day. Yeah, whereas if you get a video game
Starting point is 00:21:30 that you can put six months into of your entertainment time, that varies for everybody, it's just good value for money. Yeah, it is. Yeah, I sort of agree. It's just good. And there's so like, now it's not, you're not buying like a DOS game.
Starting point is 00:21:43 There's so, they're like a movieOS game. They're like a movie. They're like this whole world. I don't play video games, but every time I look over the shoulder of someone playing, I'm like, oh my God, those graphics are incredible. It's phenomenal. I was playing, what game was I playing? I think it was a Spider-Man game.
Starting point is 00:21:58 My mom was like, is this the Spider-Man movie? Yeah, cause I was like, no, it's a video game. Look, I can try it. And she was just like, too much. Yeah, I can't even fathom. I don't want to see your witchcraft. Yeah too much. Imagine showing your great-grandma spider in a game. I would have, I would have mine. Well we asked you do you think video games are too expensive? I am. Are you okay chucking up there? He needs a lozenge. 87, I'm actually gonna get one. Okay. 87% of people said yes, video games are too expensive.
Starting point is 00:22:27 13% said no. Okay. But I mean, you've shown a new perspective. And you know what I want to say is, so many video games now are free. It's the microtransactions in game that get you. You're like free game. You play Fortnite and then they're like, hey, you can play a character that looks like Darth Vader. And you're like, yep, 20 bucks.
Starting point is 00:22:45 You're already hooked. Yeah, oh, I need his lightsaber, five more bucks. And then that's how you end up spending the money. And like kids with like, Roblox is a free game, but every time they have a birthday or Christmas, what do you want for your birthday? I'd love some Robux to spend it in the game. That's silly, that's...
Starting point is 00:23:01 Oh, they should get a small dragon statue, like I did at their age, you know? A small dragon statue. Or a beanie baby. A beanie baby. Well, some feedback. Earl, you know Earl from the show, Earl who does some AI generated art for us,
Starting point is 00:23:16 he said, no way, you gotta guy math this. $120 for a video game, I play it solid for three months, maybe more, that's $1.30 a day. Gosh. That's way cheaper than six dollar coffees I buy that's boy math boy math boy math boy math boy math boy math um Elliot said grab the wrong thing I grab pills not a lot of stuff stop running Elliot said the most outrageous part isn't the price it's the goddamn storage it takes up because you buy a game now, you put the disc in, that gives you the game, but immediately it is an 18 gig patch to work. And my PlayStation 5 is full.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yes, but everything is more expensive said Kimberly, except my labour. Hashtag still waiting for a decent pay rise. Well we can't help you there. No, sorry. Chloe said... Chloe said... Swarbrick? Swarbrick? No, no H.
Starting point is 00:24:11 She doesn't strike me as someone that would play video games. Or message into the show to be fair. I reckon Chloe would message into the show. I can't see her playing video games. She might like a bit of Red Dead Redemption 2 though. Maybe. I have to learn these things about her. Maybe she likes shooting games and imagines it's like David Seymour and Far Right people.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Wow. No, I think that's the opposite. She chooses peace. Yeah, I think she chooses peace. She chooses education and peace. Okay, she likes a game where she's on a Greenpeace ship saving the whales. Probably, she'd love that. She'd froth it.
Starting point is 00:24:40 She's sailing along. She'd froth it. And she harpoons the people harpooning the whales. I don't know how she's harpooning anybody. I think she's peaceful. I don't know how she's harpooning anybody. I think she's peaceful. She's bazooka-ing the whaling ships. No. I don't think she's bazooka-ing anybody.
Starting point is 00:24:50 She would because it's saving the whales. I think in Chloe's dream world there's no bazookas. Yeah, I would imagine. How are we gonna have an entertaining video game for Chloe to play if there are no bazookas? She should play Animal Crossing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, or sort of the growing one. Oh yeah, she probably does attract the simulator.
Starting point is 00:25:08 No, she probably does that antifarming. It's too industrial. Oh yeah, it's polluting the waterways. Yeah, and then you have to spray fertilizer to get the most out of your crops. What games does she play? Shall I message her? This could be a great in. Can you message her and ask her if she's even played a video game and if so what video game? Yeah if she's into video games. She'll be up. Yeah. She will be up. Chloe Knotsawbrick Jones says there are stupid there are stupid waste of time and money.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Someone's partner's ignoring them for FIFA I reckon. Yeah 100%. That sounds like it someone's been ignored. Jareem which is like Jeremy but an A on the end. Jareem. Jareem. Jareem, which is like Jeremy but an E on the end. Jareem. Jareem. Costs are going up across the board. Corporate greed at this point and time is excessive. Yeah. Anise says, especially since you don't even own them
Starting point is 00:25:55 these days. Don't own the game. Oh yeah, cause it's a digital copy, not a hard copy. Yes and no, the games themselves haven't gone up in price and $90 to $120 is okay for hours and hours and hours of entertainment, says Michael. It's the DLC, the microtransactions, the money for skins and accessories. This is what's too expensive and ruining gaming.
Starting point is 00:26:14 You don't have to have it though, do you Michael? That's where they get you. This is true. Don't like it, don't buy it, they'll say. Joanne, in-store yes, I always buy online. Save to watchlist for when they have a sale, you'll get a notification and you can get cheaper video games. Joanne, that is great budgeting.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Chloe, Fletch Vaughan and I are hypothesizing as to whether or not you play video games, and if you do, what games do you enjoy? Or what was the last one you played? What was the last one you played? Wishing you well. Yeah. Should I do an X? Yeah. XOXO.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Gossip Girl. So Cyberpunk 2077 had development costs totalling $174 million and a $142 million marketing budget. Yeah, that's bigger than movies. That's insane. That's why they cost so much. Liam said How is that so one side think about how many hours you spend on a video game if you pay? $150 max for game you get hundreds of hours out of it. Yeah, I think it's a good point And Katherine says I still play sims 4 the new expansion pack. I've pre-ordered for the July 10th release was 69.95
Starting point is 00:27:22 Sure, it is Flyer 10th release was $69.95. Sure it is, Catherine, but look how much entertainment you're getting out of it. Yeah, do you think she's just putting people in a room and just watching them? They've taken the door out of it. Probably. And then they go insane.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Sounds like something Catherine would do. Oh my god, I love it. Catherine sets her Sim's house on fire and watches them all burn. She's crazy. So we asked you, we said, hey, are video games too expensive? And 87% of you said, yeah, they're too expensive.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Now apparently a lot of Brits believe that they wouldn't be able to pass the current British citizenship test, which is basically a small quiz of general British knowledge. Yep. Like I think America does one too if you want to become a citizen. There is one for New Zealand. Right?'s not. No I googled it.
Starting point is 00:28:06 No there's not. Really? No you just do a ceremony. You do a ceremony and I think now do you have to have a level of English? Or is that for some visas? I feel like that's a thing as well maybe now. Anyway, there's not. But I feel like that would be me with the road test as well.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Like the driving test as well Like the driving test you pick up bad habits. Yes, and like some of the road girls You're like you just kind of know them but you know, you maybe don't yeah exactly Um, so because we don't have one I thought it would be an interesting thing to do Create our own New Zealand citizenship chest This is my favorite version of the anthem. Cindy Ruakires. Kielder.
Starting point is 00:28:48 7 minute 55 national anthem. Is there like a drum and bass version? Is there a drummer? Yeah this is a bit sloppy. Poor yeah, poor yeah please. That's a better anthem. That's a better anthem. Yeah that's good and also it might spoil one of my questions.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I've... Okay. See! I said the Warriors game. Yep. And they do a Poohkana cam at halftime. Do they? One of the greatest.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Okay, great. Can I see yours? I was so scared it was going to hold on me. No, cultural appreciation. That is good. No, but it's appropriation. No, no, it's appreciation. No, it's a white board, is it? Yeah, it's appreciation. That is good. No, but it's appropriation. No, no, it's appreciation. It's a word.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Yeah, it's appreciation. Okay, right. Go to everybody. The best, you've got to watch this if you watch Warriors Game at halftime, the Pukka cam. They went to this woman, Māori woman, and she was holding a baby, and she wasn't even looking at the camera.
Starting point is 00:29:38 And in one fluid motion, she looked at the camera, her hand from behind the baby's head went up behind her head and she went and it was just like awesome. My favourite of the night. So good. And then the worry is lost, I don't want to talk about it. I think we should do it like a quiz. Okay. Buzz in with your name.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Okay. And then we'll keep score. I don't have a Māori version of my name. What's Carl? You know how John's Hone? Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't think Carl has one.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Anaru. Yeah. That's a good one. I think we'll just go Fletch and Vaughan because that's sort of the name of the show. yeah. Yeah, Anaru. Anaru, that's a good one. I think we'll just go Fletch and Vaughan because that's sort of the name of the show. Yeah. We'll do that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Name the three female Prime Ministers New Zealand has had. Vaughan. Ah, damn it. I can consider her in Helen Clark's Geneship. One point to you. Yes, good. Well done, Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Who is the current Captain of the All Blacks? Vaughan. Vaughan. I'm the current captain of the All Blacks? Vaughan. Vaughan. I'm Snow. Oh no I was going to say Sam Whitelock but he's retired isn't he? I would just say. Fletch feel free to get in there. Sam Kane? Nope.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Oh who is? Replaced last year. Whitelock? No I say Whitelock. Oh. No points Scott Barrett. Scott Barrett. Scott Barrett's captain now.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Since May last year. Is he Dogroll? Is he Dogroll? Or is it Jordy Barrow that's Dogroll? You know, he's known, Scott's Dogroll. Now for this I'm gonna need, yeah no one. Boo. Zero Fletch, Vaughan One. Now for this I'm gonna need Poor Year Down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Okay, yep, yep. Who is the artist of this song. So far it's just native birds, isn't it? Vaughan. Abracadabra, Cube the Dragon. Correct! Oh damn it! Ha ha ha ha ha! Two to Vaughan, zero to Fletch.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Okay, what were the two- Wait, am I gonna get deported if I don't get any points from the board? Yes, I told you that. I told you that at the top. Straight back to England. Straight back to England. I told you that at the top. I absolutely get deported. Yeah. And like we're going to the International Yearbook today. You ain't going to Europe, bro. You're going to Australia.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Okay. In the worst bit. Wait. Is he a 501? I'm not a 501. You are. I'm not a 501. Go back to your homeland. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Okay. What... They sent you back to New Zealand and we played reverse card on Nuno and sent them back. Okay, this might be a difficult one if you don't know it. That's how questions work. What were the two capital cities of New Zealand before Wellington? Russell and Auckland. Yes, correct. Yeah, I knew that too, damn it.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I'm just a bit slow yeah. Oh I'm just going three to Vaughan, zero to Fletch. What is the most embarrassing coffee order in New Zealand? Vaughan. Mocaccino. Correct. That's not a thing and that's my order. For you, last question. Sing the first verse of the New Zealand anthem in Māori. So use your name as a buzzword. I'm going to try to give you one here. Yes, I did it. I didn't quite get the lyrics out.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I can't sing, I've got a sore throat. I will go on record as it terrifies me every single time. At my kid's school they put the lyrics up and I'm like, thank the good Lord. You should know then. No I don't, I'm scared and I'm scared I get all the, I get little words wrong here and there. And you get cancelled.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Well listen, it wasn't gonna save you anyway, Fletch. Nah, so I'm recording. But boy in the crowd, you should hear how loud I am. Oh I bet, and you're just, boy, yeah. I feel like the All Blacks are just mouthing that as well. Oh, I bet. And you're just, eee Vaughan and Hayley. Just a little update. Good update. Yeah, good update.
Starting point is 00:33:29 At the end of our six o'clock, we had silly little poll, do you think video games are too expensive? Now- 87% of people thought so. Thank you for the recap Vaughan. Now there was someone messaged in, Chloe, and we just sort of wanted to check whether or not it was Chloe Swalbrick.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Off we went thinking that, you know, of course Chloe Swalbrick wouldn't be into gaming. Well, I just thought she'd be too busy and I didn't think she'd, yeah, maybe she wouldn't be into shooting games. I said maybe she would bazooka whaling ships. And we said absolutely not. Well, I messaged Chloe on Instagram and I said, you know, we were hypothesising as to whether or not you're a gamer and if you were, what game was the last one you played? She is up and ready to seize the day.
Starting point is 00:34:07 She's a member of parliament. Well, they're not in bed, are they? No. They're out there doing all the government stuff. They're off to the beehive. Off to the hive to just make policies and papers. She says, Morena, with a Macron on the O, which I appreciate. Big gamer back in the day, actually.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Oh, okay. Mostly Xbox RPGs, although I did get into first person shooters and Halo a bit. Gave it up when I left home and school at 17, so to answer completely honestly and boring, the last game I probably would have played would have been an arcade game with my niece and nephew, however, Ricardo and Lawrence in the caucus
Starting point is 00:34:44 are big time gamers. And I said, this is excellent. We said you wouldn't play shooter games because you're a peaceful lady. But you have shown your true colours. You're a true brute. I shall no longer be engaging with this psychopath. Love that.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Thank you Chloe for responding. That's great. Okay, good tonight. That's lighthearted and fun, but I hope you guys are ready to have your knickers kicked. I don't want to get my knickers kicked. Why would you kick me in the crotch? One kick in the knickers for you, one punt in the panties for you.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Oh, don't, boy. He hates that word. He hates that word. There has been a- Jeffers. Yeah, a Kiwi icon. Jeffers? Don't you call me that, I'm from Wellington.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I mean, ah ha ha ha. Well,as! Don't you call me that, I'm from Wellington. I'm being... Ah ha ha ha. Well you're actually technically from Rangiora. Why'd you have to bring that up man? Just another Rangiora denier, so you're a Jard. Jard! A Giardia. A Giardia.
Starting point is 00:35:38 A Giardia. Jaffas have been discontinued by RJs. Now it was news to me that RJs was making Jaffas. No, you've forgotten, do you remember they rescued them? I have since read that they rescued them from... That's paid off. In 2018, RJ's announced the signing of a deal with Mondelez International to take over
Starting point is 00:35:57 the manufacturing. Also Cadbury. Production of Jaffas. They were closing the Danettian factory and thus making Jaffas ridonzante. So obviously if Mondelez, if they weren't selling for them, they got rid of them. They obviously haven't sold for RJ's either. It's a thing, you like them, but you don't go out of your way to buy them. I'd never buy them.
Starting point is 00:36:18 No, you'd never buy them. The box is so cool though. I remember my dad bought me a jar of Jaffas, like one of those big jars. And they lasted for ages. They're so yum, like Jaffa Thins. Why did he buy you a whole jar of Jaffas? It was my first marching nationals.
Starting point is 00:36:37 It was like a good luck present. Right. Jar of Jaffas. I thought he was just constantly working late and making it up to you with a giant jar of Jaffas. Barbie dolls and jars of Jaffas. Barbie dolls and jars of Jeffers. Why do we call the orange chocolate flavoured Jeffer?
Starting point is 00:36:49 It's Jeffels. That's a pie. Isn't that what people call a sealed pie sandwich situation? Do you think there would be bags out there maybe still in circulation that are going to be snapped up? Have they announced a date or have they said that's it from now? I I'm gonna get some and put some in the freezer. I love them but you're right you just don't buy them. You don't buy them. No you don't go out of your way and I mean that's a problem. This will be like Snifters or you know whatever the candy ones. The Tangy Fruits. Tangy Fruits. You're like oh my god no bring them back. You're like when did you last buy a box? Yes and then if
Starting point is 00:37:22 they were here would you be buying them? Probably not. That's what my mum said when Fair Go got cancelled she was like oh no that's terrible and I was like when was the last time you watched it mum? That's what you call it the Campbell live scenario is that everyone loves John Campbell and it was a fantastic show but you just didn't find time to watch it. You watch the clips online But that's not always ticking the boxes for a live broadcast television Should we get a box today a bag today? Jaffas are called Jaffas due to their association with the Jaffa orange Which is known for its sweet juicy flavor the candies featuring a chocolate I'm known for my sweet juicy flavor Jesus Christ it is 24 minutes past 7 that's going straight in my HR refilm. I just sort of meant spiritually.
Starting point is 00:38:06 You better get out that HR pad. Spiritually. And see, last show before holidays. I feel like today, the last break of the show might be an HR recap of the show. I meant spiritually. Write that down. I'm actually, I can't look at her.
Starting point is 00:38:19 That's disgusting. I won't look at her. Fetch, look at me, I'm your friend. I'm not looking at you. Jaffa. Also, write down that she messed up our airport plans today cause she was like. That's not an HR issue, that's a personal grievance.
Starting point is 00:38:30 That's a PG, that's a PG, that's a different section. I'm doing my best to remedy the situation, okay? I don't deal with those. So I didn't know there was a type of orange, like a sweet navel in a Jaffa. It's chocolate. Yeah, yum. Yum.
Starting point is 00:38:42 It's crazy, so it grows the chocolate on the tree. The Jaffa Orange, it's a Hebrew name, is an orange variety with a few seeds and a tough skin that make it highly exportable. Seeds. It was developed by Arab farmers in the mid-19th century Ottoman Palestine and takes its name from the city of Jaffa
Starting point is 00:38:58 where it was first produced to export. I didn't even know there was a city called Jaffa. Yeah, it's probably pronounced Jaffa. Yeah, well like Jaffa. Yeah. Oh, actually, put that on the HR. What? You've been mispronouncing Jaffa the whole time.
Starting point is 00:39:10 The whole time. And you didn't know the Māori version of the National Anthem. Neither did you, actually. So both the boys don't know the Māori version of the National Anthem and you've been saying Jaffa wrong. I'm going to just put F and V, scared of the Māori. Yeah. I didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Yeah, say that. Put that. Okay. I love that people are always looking out for me. Remember when the Warriors were downstairs boxing and I was upstairs in the women's gym and I got a text from my friend Fletch saying, Warriors! Come on down, girl!
Starting point is 00:39:42 Come out and play. And I was like, I'm coming down. And the other women were like, I'm coming down too. I'm coming down too. That is two niche historical references in about 10 seconds. It's got to be a record for this show. I actually put that on the HR notebook though that Fletch encouraged Hailey to pervert the Warriors and then Hailey perverted the Warriors. Actually objectifying.
Starting point is 00:40:04 That's, you know, I'll take that. Well, I wasn't objectifying them. I just said they were there. So I was just really providing a location report. You've really put more distance between yourself than it actually was on the day. Okay, right. But we arrived at the gym the other day for a little workout because I'm trying to get really hot. I'll be honest. I'm trying to get real hot. And in six hours.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Five hours, yeah. I'm getting holiday ready quickly. And the guy at reception actually informed us, was this the first time? Yeah, the first day. Yeah, the first time the guy at reception informed us the All Blacks are here training. And just the way that he said it to Hayley was like oh they've just left. Yeah. I know you'd be really upset Hayley but they've just left. I was like what? I said this is bull and I swore and then I had a terrible workout. Who are the current All Blacks is like? Taking it for me. Will Jordanans them well I don't know
Starting point is 00:41:05 yeah yeah no one in particular now I'm putting you also objectified the all blacks I was just saying what Haley looks at Haley looks at thighs who's playing next the French they we are playing in Dunedin this weekend the Italians I believe oh the French Italians. French. French. Okay. I knew that. Well that's really good. You knew sport. How'd that happen? That's really good. I mean like what do you mean which of the All Blacks am I enjoying right now? Which ones? Anton, Anton, Leonard Brown, Artie's looking hot. We've got Billy Proctor. I'll Billy your Proctor. Oh, you cannot say that.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Do you know what I mean? Write that down. She said she'd Billy his Proctor. Wow. The HR report is humming today. And then so we- I only started this hour. So then they're not at the gym.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Any of the Barrett's are gonna get it. Oh, not the Barrett. She objectified the- The entire Barrett family. Rico, I mean Rico. Oh, far apart. So we go the next day. This is yesterday. She objectified the entire Barrett family. Rico, I mean Rico. Oh, far apart. So we go the next day, this is yesterday,
Starting point is 00:42:08 we get there and the same thing happens. They're leaving as we get there. Like we see the back of, cause you know they train in the black and blue and we see the back of them on the outside bit and I was like, oh, we were literally 10 minutes too late. Yeah. Cause I want them to see me hip thrust.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Do you know I think they put them in a separate gym so that members like Hailey don't perv. Yeah I'll move the hip thrust bar, I'll wheel in a bench. And hang around like a bad smell. I'll be loading that up and then I'll be like, you guys using these 20s cause I'm trying to get 120 on this bar boys and you hogging all the plates.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Load it up. I'll be like 120 hot damn no wonder dad ass be looking so fine. Calm down. Sorry. I'm going to actually put down that overly horny. Yeah. Overly horny. Put that on the app.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Sexual energy. Overly horny gangster. Yeah. She was appropriating. Gangster culture. I'll take all of this. Horny gangster. She was appropriating. Gangster culture. I'll take all of these. Orny gangster.
Starting point is 00:43:07 If you've just joined us, we're filming in the HR Journal for today. That we're reviewing at the end of the show. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. We just had a big dance to that. That was fun. I liked that. I did put a couple of your moves down on the HR report. I saw you. Yeah, very white. Yeah, okay. I think we all take a member Mark on that one. I think we're just like, it zeros out. Um, how do you think you'll die? This is so dark, Vaughn. Seriously, how do you think you'll die? I've always known it. How do you think you're gonna die? Sorry, stop playing, put that down on the HR form.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Rustling a rapper. It's not an HR form, that's a personal grievance. You write down personal grievance, I'll write down HR. I've got a lot of personal grievances with you two today. You are a crabby little bitch. Well it's Hayley's fault, she's ruined holiday plans already. I have not, it's going to be absolutely fine, this guy. We've got to get to the airport three hours early. I love that it's not me that's causing him this strife in his life because it often is. You're pulling a Vaughan with this kind of casual attitude checking into a flight. It's fine pulling a Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:44:22 We're going to be fine. No I've always not, I don't know if I want to say it's just Blake car crash Wait, why do you why did you bring this up? Why are you bringing this up? No, no, you just thought about it in a dark spot and I was just lying. I was just I was sitting This is funny I'm sitting in my computer and I was just staring at the screen and it turned itself off because sleep mode. So I don't know what that settings at. Five minutes I'd just be aimlessly staring at this computer screen hoping something was gonna happen. Yeah. Like work-wise. And it went black and I just saw myself
Starting point is 00:44:57 and I immediately thought, one hell I'll die. That was what happened. Oh right. That is bleak. And then I moved the mouse and I typed, how do you think you'll die? Tick done, send the email done. That was all I contributed to work. Dark, but it really tickled us because people think about this. I think you always have something in your mind that you're like, you know, maybe I'll go a spicy way.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Maybe you've had, because people go to, what are they called? Psychics. Yeah. And I don't think they're supposed to tell you how you're gonna die if they see it. I think some of them do though, don't they? Yeah, they might give you a little bit of a hint.
Starting point is 00:45:31 And so maybe they've told you, or maybe you had a dream and you are kind of like, that felt a little too real. Right, Shannon, is this something you've thought about in the past? Oh my goodness, I was born in a car and I just know I'm going out in a car too. That's the circle of life. Hopefully not a Toyota Corolla for
Starting point is 00:45:49 the second time. You know? Hopefully it's an upgrade. Could be a full circle though. No because you can't upgrade too far because the big cars get too safe. Yeah they do get too safe. Every time I get in a Tesla I think it could be the end just because the handles confuse me. The handles are so cool. And you've got a double-crescent to get out. My grandad was convinced, like he'd always say when he was young, he thought he was going to be in a car that got submerged. That's dark! That's so dark.
Starting point is 00:46:17 And he had a knife in the car and we'd be like, what's that for? We'd ask him all the time, even though we knew the answer is to cut the seatbelt when we go in the water. I do have a seatbelt cutter. I don't have a car anymore to be fair, but I do own a seatbelt cutter. Is it just in your handbag? Yeah, just so I can... That's dark. Okay, this is a really dark topic. I don't know if people are going to enjoy this topic, Vaughan. We're here now, you know, and for how long? What? The message is in. Okay. I'm definitely having a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Oh yeah. Is that someone from eating a lot of cheeseburgers? I don't know. I don't know. Someone said, this conversation sounds like you all went on the piss for 14 hours and you're in someone's random lounge at 3am and someone's gone a bit quiet. Someone's like, how do you guys think you'll die? Oh yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Yeah, that's why I kind of like it. It's kind of funny and we've never done this phone in topic. We've all thought about it though. I don't know if I've thought about like how I've just always thought I don't want to be here for a long time. You'll slip off a cliff it's so obvious. Do you reckon? Yeah yeah yeah. Like hiking or something. Cause you guys are too sprightly up the hills. You're too fast. You're always in a rush. He's always sort of gliding up these hills. You'll take step, you'll tumble, and no one will hear you, you won't find you for weeks. Just paid all that money for that personal locator beak and I'll be dead before I can even turn it off. Before you can even pull it. What use is it to you when you're dead? Someone said,
Starting point is 00:47:36 I ate half a giant Costco cheese pizza last night. I feel like that's probably gonna end me today. No, it's been a good life. Jesus, those things are huge. How did you eat half of them? I mean, I'm not even angry. I'm impressed. That's been a good life. Jesus those things are huge. I'm not even angry. I'm impressed. It's a lot of cheese. Okay 0800 dials it in. It's dark as oil but you know it's a bit of a laugh. Creaky Galleon Louise's message to me. You know she was livid that we said Big Sandy's our
Starting point is 00:47:59 favourite text character of the show. They're a joint equal. Yeah well this one brings it right back. Creaky Galley and Louise here. I know for a certainty that it'll be that when the big one hits Wellington. Big quake. And I'll be naked in the shower and a hefty beam will just conk me on the head and take me out in the one. Hefty beam!
Starting point is 00:48:14 Yeah, likely. She knows. I love that. Okay, 0800 dials at M. It's very dark, but it's funny. You can text in 9696. How do you think you'll die? It's a dark, bon's funny. You can text in 9696. How do you think you'll die? It's a dark phone in topic. Our listeners have a good sense of humor. Totally. We're talking about how do you think you'll die.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Because this was something you were pondering staring into your computer screen the other day. I'm not a hundred percent sure. Okay. I'd prefer it was quick than drawn out though. That's the one thing. I don't want to be... Maybe trampled by a cow or something. That sounds painful. But you could be maybe trampled by a cow or something. That sounds painful. But you could be down on the ground working on something, sprinkler system, and one of your cows just freaks out,
Starting point is 00:48:52 tramples you, yeah. I don't wanna get trampled. If a horn went straight through the base of my brain, I'd be all right. I don't wanna be in a car crash. They swung it and the horn just perforated my... You know. Yeah, quack. I'm not wheeling you around.
Starting point is 00:49:03 No, no, no, no, no, quack. Horn through the guts, you know, and you're like. No, painful, painful, and long. It's gotta be quack. It's gotta be quack. You wanted those ornamental cows. And you're like, girls, girls! I don't want them to see it.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Oh, gosh. Come on them to find me. I'm a doctor and I'm sure I'm gonna become one of those old deers who come in delirious with a UTI and keep telling the junior doctors how to do their job because I'm a doctor. And they'll just roll their eyes and say clearly confused. Oh, that's so funny.
Starting point is 00:49:30 And then I'll just drift away in a hospital. That's a doctor. I mean, they've seen it, right? I saw my doctor yesterday in the street. Oh, I don't know. And it was like, do you know? Remember when I saw our family doctor in a bar? Yeah, that's weird. It's like when you see someone...
Starting point is 00:49:44 And he had a goatee! No, shave that. I was just like, hello? Have some respect in Stainy Clinic. Yeah, he was like, hello? And I was like, okay, bye. Like, this is weird. I don't need anything.
Starting point is 00:49:55 You've cut my genitals. Maybe some gen- Maybe some genitals. Genes. My family and friends think my death will be falling, a great fall. I've fallen down many hills. And if there's a hole to fall in, I'll find it.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Okay, so yeah, this sounds certain, that does. That person's twisted an ankle or two, eh? Yeah, gosh. Constantly in the state of it, in a moon boot. I bet that's a lot of time in a moon boot. Oh, they just keep one, don't they? Yeah. For the next one.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I always imagined it'd be quite nice to have a heart attack outside by the chickens so all 40 chickens could finish me off and I kind of just go back into the surf. That'll be like me when I fall down a cliff, the cats will eat me. The white, the strays. The feral cats.
Starting point is 00:50:34 You don't want to feed the feral cats. Or I'll get dizzy at home, have my head on the table and the cat will just eat me. That feels more likely. Over two legs, yeah. Dizzy, yeah, you'll stand up too quick. Have a dizzy spell. That's so horrible. You are the one asking, Yeah, you'll stand up too quick. Have a dizzy spell.
Starting point is 00:50:47 That's so horrible. You are the one asking this dark question, Vaughn. 100% no, it's gonna be a digger. Oh really? The digger's gonna get me. I've had two near misses just walking around my neighbourhood not even looking for them. Has anyone said logging truck? Like final destination? Not yet.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Cause that's one on the list. Keep your texts coming in, 9696. God, you've all got a good sense of humour. How do you think you'll die? Deep question this morning, how do you think you'll die? I play sports. My prediction is a mild heart, and I have a mild heart issue.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Every time I feel my heart beating fast, I go, I'm like, wow, this is it. Take me, take me Jesus. Take me now. Yeah. I love that someone said, so far I've broken 39 bones. What?
Starting point is 00:51:29 So I reckon I'll just snap in half. 39 bones! That sounds highly likely with all those bones. Somebody said it's going to be a zombie apocalypse and I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory while giving a larger group of people a chance to escape and re-establish society.

Starting point is 00:52:25 fascinating job. I hate to tell you you're all gonna die so go shopping book the holiday don't put off anything till tomorrow and have fun. Yeah that's how I live life. Tell you what that's literally that's you've just mapped out my day. Yeah I'm gonna pat something that shouldn't have been patted. And it's gonna bite me and poison me or bite me then eat me. Yeah, love that. I'm just a typical girly who can't give her hands to herself. That's funny. My dash owns are gonna eat me.
Starting point is 00:52:54 My friends send me all the articles. Apparently dash owns are the most likely to really devour their owners post death. I know how... Oh. That's just wildly tough. I know how I die. I've always had this plan. At 50, I'm going to sell everything, travel the world for 10 years, maybe a little bit
Starting point is 00:53:13 longer if the health hangs in there and I'm all having fun. Final destination is Switzerland where some kind person puts me to sleep. I'm not worrying about retirement savings and I'm going out on my own terms. I don't think they just do that. You can't just opt out. You know, you need to be sort of terminal. Somebody said I'll probably die of something stress related when I'm 75 and still working with a mortgage. Yep.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Like the elves of Lord of the Rings, I'm gonna die of a broken heart. Oh, it is lovely when you... I know. Padme Abadamala too in Star Wars. Yeah, like Padme and Anamala too in Star Wars. Yeah, like Padme and Abadamala. Padme... Amidala. Padme, Padme, Padme, Padme. Don't bring in your pad-type Star Wars characters.
Starting point is 00:53:50 We don't care. Play ZM's Fletch-Born and Hayley. And joining us on Zoom from Jurassic World Rebirth, Mahershala Ali, Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey. Good morning guys, how are you? Good morning. Hello. Doing well. What, You guys are so coordinated.
Starting point is 00:54:06 What is this outfit coordination? I know. We call each other every morning. As soon as our little eyeballs open up and we go, hey, what are you wearing, Marcia? Now one important cast member is missing from this interview. It's Jonathan Bailey's slutty little glasses.
Starting point is 00:54:21 That's true. They're never too far away though. Are you wearing them? I can't quite tell. I'm wearing bigger, sluttier glasses. Yeah, not as They're never too far away though. Are you wearing them? I can't quite tell. I'm wearing bigger, sluttier glasses. Yeah, not as slutty, but this far bigger. You're a bigger slut. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:54:29 It's true, Jonathan. It's true. Thank you for those kind words. My problem with the glasses is they were so clean through the whole movie. I drove 20 minutes to work today and I had some sort of smear on it that was completely unexplainable, but you must have had, those glasses must have had a beautiful non-stick surface. There's a whole a spin-off that's coming that's like it's going to be a split screen of exactly what happens with the glasses every time it's on Scarlett I'm polished. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, given the middle of the time. That's pretty
Starting point is 00:54:56 interesting. I wondered if he had a secret. Yeah, secret wipe cloth. You've got to have a cloth on hand. That's what mine, Zora's neck towel is for. And that's how they become so close. Yeah. That he is constantly... It's a different form of symbiosis. I thought it might have been Mahershala's beret, which also stayed on despite some real heavy action.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Yes, that thing's glued on throughout the film. The character has two k-tapes that he wears. Exactly. He's got an invisible fish-wide. I thought as a fellow bald brother, I thought it might've been some boob tape. Is that what you do to keep your beanie on every day? I've had boob tape put on to keep something, a hat on my head before in like high wind conditions.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Not tip tape on the beret? No, no boob tape on the beret. No, no. Just a perfect snug. Boob three on my head. Very tight. Launching line the beret. No, no. Just a perfect snub. Boob three on my head. I was a bit... Yeah. Very tight. Launching line of beret tape, yes.
Starting point is 00:55:48 The movie, obviously, in the Jurassic Park world, there's a few homages to the 1993 original that when we were watching, we were like, ah! Like, we'd point them out. You know, what was it like on set living in this world that's so well established and has those sorts of callbacks? It was great, it was cool. Such an amazing thing to work on a set that is, most of our sets were, even though there is a lot of VFX
Starting point is 00:56:12 in the film, we had a lot of practical locations and they were just amazing. Even the set that they built where there's the big nest in the middle of it and it's got that, it felt like we were in a Raiders movie or something like that. Some of the set was was fake but the dinosaurs obviously real Which was the biggest diva dinosaur? Which dinosaur was the most difficult to work with? Dolores. Yeah, Dolores is a nightmare I was gonna say Rupert Fenton Wow
Starting point is 00:56:43 Savage shot across the bow there. I do find that, like how awkward is it when you are, you're doing these sort of connecting scenes with, I imagine it's a tennis ball and a man in a spandex suit. Bingo. Is it awkward? Do you feel very silly? It feels really natural. No, yeah, very awkward. But you know, we all need some sort of point of
Starting point is 00:57:08 focus. So it is actually really helpful. Did you enjoy working with the Lincoln lawyer and his short daddy shorts throughout the movie? Yeah, that was amazing. Beautiful legs. Yeah, they were great legs. Because where did you guys- Tennis legs.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Because where was it filmed? Where was the beach scenes and stuff? We shot in Thailand and in Malta and then we shot also in the... at Elstree Studios in the UK. Wow, so kind of like White Lotus but dinosaurs. Yeah. Yeah, they were literally half an hour away actually. They were two hotels away.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Having a very different experience. Hey, well, we really enjoyed the movie thanks so much for talking to us this morning guys. Thank you. We need to dress like a uniform. Cream now. Bye guys. We appreciate it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Vaughan's I just added there someone messaged in saying it's a good point Jonathan Bailey in that interview called you a bigger slut. Yeah so he slut shamed you. Okay put that down.
Starting point is 00:58:21 So he's on the list that's one for Jonathan. One for Jonathan and a couple of throat sprays of the old numbing. We've just got to get through how much longer 40 more minutes into holidays. Yep. So he's on the list, that's one for Jonathan. One for Jonathan and a couple of throat sprays of the old numbing. We've just gotta get through how much longer? 40 more minutes into holidays. Numbing, this is why your voice is so raw because you numb it and then you push it. I paid $38,000 for an acting degree.
Starting point is 00:58:33 I've had some people say they like the voice raw dog. And some other people being like, go on, you're gonna be edged. Put that on the HR. Yeah, said raw dog, 819, Vaughan said raw dog. Such an odd moment yesterday. So I do want to point out that I'm very excited to be heading over to Europe this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Must be nice. And you will be on the same flight, okay? Stop distancing yourself from privilege. Man, I tell you what guys, there's been some tension in the studio. I tell you what, it's really tested the genuine friendship, hasn't it? Listen. When you make a plan. We had a plan. some tension in the studio. I tell you what, it's really tested the genuine friendship hasn't it?
Starting point is 00:59:12 When you make a plan. We had a plan and it was all going to be perfect. I'll give you some, I'll give you a brief overview of this plan. These two say to me, can you pick us up outside Les Mills at 5 40 a.m. I said 5 40 a.m. We're usually well at work by then and Fletcher's like, it's all taken care of. 5 40 a.m., pick us up outside Les Mills. I said, what are you guys doing at the Les Mills at that time of the morning? Hayley said, I'm Ubering in. I'm Ubering in, we're gonna do a 5 a.m. class. It's gonna finish at 5.40 a.m.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Are you gonna be outside in the Suzuki Jimny? You're gonna pick us up, you're gonna bring us straight to work, we're gonna get into the show and we're gonna hit the ground running. I get a message at... 4.20? Don't worry about picking us up outside the gym. hit the ground running. I get a message at 420. Don't worry about picking us up outside the gym. Hailey slept in.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Hailey slept through her Uber. Yeah. Do you know I've paid 26 bucks for sleeping through that Uber? Or cause they charge you a part. As they should. As they should. I literally made the guy arrive out far northwest
Starting point is 01:00:03 at 350 and then I slept in, he left at 3.55. He gave me the five minute grace period, but not a second more. So that was the original plan and then after the show what? You were leaving here. Going to Fletch's quickly. Fletch's for a shower, quickly change.
Starting point is 01:00:17 In the Uber together. I thought I was dropping you at Fletch's because I was going to do your laundry. Both of you didn't want to leave your stinky gym clothes and I said, I'll do your laundry, I'll fold it up and I'll leave it somewhere to bring back at the end of the holiday. This is how meticulously this morning
Starting point is 01:00:29 and today was planned out. It was a flawless plan. Until Hailey had a late night and slept in. I did have a late night. And I did warn you about that late night. I know you did. I did say it. So now Hailey's car is here, that's got to go home.
Starting point is 01:00:42 So now after the show, Fletch, you're going to your house? Yeah, I'm just making my own way to the airport. If she misses her flight, I don't care. He said to me, and I quote, screw you. Yeah. And so I'm going to my house to drop off the car and then go to the airport. We're gonna meet, honestly, at the same time,
Starting point is 01:00:58 and the plan continues from there on. But anyway, and then we're on the same flight. That's a spy because it's got nothing to do with me. I know, look at him. It's a real Vaughan Smith, lax attitude to checking into flights. It's a lax attitude. I'm travelling down south tomorrow
Starting point is 01:01:12 and somebody said, if you pack your kids' warm clothes, I'm like, no, they'll take care of that. Just layers, more t-shirts, more T-shirts. I'll give them the same advice I do when I pack. Plan to shit yourself every day. Yeah, I've got that. That's why you always have 100 pairs of undies. Every single pair of undies needs to be clean
Starting point is 01:01:27 and in that bag. Yeah. Yeah. So we're off to Europe today, but I'm new to using a WISE card, which is like the international currency card. You can load it with currencies and stuff. I always just raw dog with my visa and then just pay all these fees when I get home.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Yeah. Feasas on the visa. That drives Fletch crazy. And he's like, don't. It's not costing him a cent, but it drives him crazy. Yeah, so I download the WISE app, I create an account and I order my WISE visa. Yesterday, it struck me,
Starting point is 01:01:57 is this the order in which I wanna tell this? Yesterday it struck me, the card hasn't arrived and we're off to Europe tomorrow. I was like, oh my God, the bloody card hasn't arrived. What a waste of time this whole thing's been. I might as well have just used my visa because I'm gonna have to do that anyway. And then you were like, everyone was just like, oh no.
Starting point is 01:02:15 And then I'm checking the emails. It says it's been delivered. 18th of June. 18th of June. Weeks ago. You can see the lovely Jackie's signature from reception. From reception and then I started saying, maybe Jackie's robbing me.
Starting point is 01:02:29 And she's listening in reception now. Jackie, I did. The lovely Jackie. You sullied. You cannot meet a sweeter woman. No, Jackie would be at the bottom of my list of people that I would ever consider to be a burglar. Would I be down the bottom of your burglar list?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Not near Jackie. No, no, no. Jackie's a sweet, sweet angel. You are a piece of shit. I be down the bottom of your burglar list? Not near Jackie, no, no, no. Not near Jackie. Jackie's a sweet, sweet angel. You are a piece of shit. I went into the mail room. We were moving stuff around. Oh my god, yeah, I found a Department of Court
Starting point is 01:02:53 justice letter for someone that worked here like a year ago. Yeah. I really considered opening that too. I really wish I had. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I really wish I'd opened it. Stop it, I got mail to my house recently.
Starting point is 01:03:07 For a person whose last name was Dolphin. That's not a name, that's a joke name. That's not a real name. I opened it. Well like Barry Dolphin? V Dolphin. Vaughan Dolphin. Vaughan Dolphin.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Vaughan Ellen Dolphin. Their last name was Dolphin. Haley Jane Dolphin. They had to open that. Could have been Vicky Dolphin. Carl Peter Dolphin. Well I dare not assume, should I write Dolphine. I had to open that could have been Vicky Dolphin Well, I dare to assume should I write that down actually I assumed the gender Gender normative sysprack Anyway, yeah. Well, anyway, I didn't open any of them open the mail. We turn that my outside debt What you know what the dolphin was what the um?
Starting point is 01:03:41 Rates rates bill for that place. What do you pay on? No, no, just some what do you pay rates for when you're a dolphin? The ocean? You gotta split the cost of the ocean. Must cost them a fortune at rates having the access to that entire thing. Yeah. Anyway, so the card hasn't arrived, we've looked everywhere, da da da da da. Maybe like 30 minutes passes, right, since I started having this panic or even an hour. I'm just like, Oh, well you're screwed. Cause we're going tomorrow. Yeah. And then I was like, ping.
Starting point is 01:04:09 It was like an awakening. Yep. And I went into my wallet and the card was in there. And what has happened is on the 18th of June, I had received it. I had collected it from the mail room. I had opened it. I'd even made a comment about the size of the package that it was in.
Starting point is 01:04:27 It came in an A4, or was it A3 envelope? A DHL envelope, like it came in a big thick card, like when you get an x-ray sort of thing. I remember how large it was and we joked at the time, like that's overkill, but like you got it so soon. And then I got the card out and I activated the card and I put the card in my wallet ready for my trip. It was a complete moment of like,
Starting point is 01:04:50 I had removed that chunk from my existence. Yeah. And that was actually a little. It was pretty wild. Yeah, we were all just like, I remembered you opening that. But it was. But then I couldn't remember that it was associated
Starting point is 01:05:02 with the wise card. I know. But then did you have a quite serious moment with Alzheimer's in your family where you're like, oh okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe. I was like. On losing the plot.
Starting point is 01:05:11 I know Alzheimer's cometh for me one day, but I did not realise I'd be losing chunks of time at 35. From only like what, two weeks ago. I know. Anyway outrageous, but I've got my wise card. Yes and you'll be using it. One giorno! Play ZM's Fleshborne in Hayley.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Fact of the day, day,'s theme has been floods. Misery. It started because there were some floods in the upper North, upper South Island and actually what has been described as an atmospheric river. Yeah and there's more to come too. These are never good. So, thoughts. Wait, is the planet not doing well?
Starting point is 01:06:05 Thoughts and prayers. No. Right. It's not. Yeah, with the people that are gonna be affected by that and likely to be affected again in the coming days. Yep. I did really love your molasses flood fact yesterday.
Starting point is 01:06:17 If you love molasses flood, you're gonna love the flood of the beaver. The great beaver flood. The great beaver flood. Dude, go long-horn. That was the name of my rock quiz band. The great beaver flood. The great beaver flood. Duggo one-born. That was the name of my rock quiz band. The great beaver flood. The great beaver flood.
Starting point is 01:06:30 It was an all-female group. I think we should have put that down on HR and made it uncomfortable. Yeah, I feel uncomfortable too. Do you? You can't look at me again for the second time this show. Put that in the HR journal. Oh gosh.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Great beaver flood. Yep. I'm just gonna say, hey. Inappropriate, yeah. It's quite. I was insinuating. Yeah beaver flood. Yep. I'm just gonna say, inappropriate, yeah. It's quite, okay. I was insinuating. Yes, you was insinuating. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:06:50 It was heavy. It was entendre. Mm. Quattrupal entendre. Quat, I was gonna say, not even double, it was more of a quat entendre, which was actually the song that the great beaver flood released.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Quat entendre. Yeah. From the Rock West. So this is what happened. Beavers, yes, beavers chewed through and rerouted a creek in a remote part of Northern British Columbia. The dam caused water to flood into a fibre optic cable vault,
Starting point is 01:07:11 which is basically an underground junction box for internet and phone. Famously not really wanting water to be in it. No, so they redirected it. And it cost the entire town of Tumbler Ridge to lose internet access, cell phone service, landlines, and even 911 emergency calls were disrupted. Those cheeky beavers.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Cheeky beaver. They couldn't work out what the problem was. For a long time. And then once they got there, they found the underground vault completely underwater and full of sticks and mud. And I tell you what, a couple of rogue beavers. Couple of rogue beavers.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Chewing some cables, maybe? When they flood an area, couple of rogue beavers. Couple of rogue beavers in there, chilling some cables maybe? When they flood an area, they use it as their home. They use it for food. Yeah right. Because the fish can't get past and all the other animals and stuff that they eat. It becomes a completely different Naughty beavers.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Sort of microclimate. So the fibre cables ran through a very remote forested area which made it very, very hard to fix. Hard to get to, hard to get the equipment to get to. And then once they got there, they needed to take in a whole lot of heavy equipment to remove the logs and the mud and the debris that had caused the going there.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Wow. Great, that's a good story. That's a good fact. I quite like it. It was the time that the beavers cost a town its entire telecommunication service for many days. And that is the story of the great beaver flood of Canada in 2020.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Alright baby. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Play ZM's Fletch-Born in Hayley. Today marks the nine year anniversary of a tweet. Someone tweeted an article about the fact that, predicting basically, that in 2025, women would be having adult fun times with robots,
Starting point is 01:09:02 more than they were with men. Okay. By the year of 2025 I mean does he satisfy a pro to count as a robot? That's a machine. That's a machine and a toy. Okay yeah. And this is a serious question. Okay. Please no please we're happy to be serious on the show. Okay well Mike Mc Roberts is here. Music off in the background. Okay go ahead. Has there been an adult fun toy yet that has integrated successfully with AI technology? There's remote control like app controlled ones. Remote control? No, so that's not AI, that's controlled by another person or a predetermined pattern. I'm wondering if there's AI and it learns.
Starting point is 01:09:43 It's not far away. I might give that a quick Google on the work Wi-Fi. I'm just saying there's AI and it learns. It's not far away. It's not far away. I might give that a quick Google on the work wifi. I'm just saying that to you now in case there's any flagged issues later. I think maybe write that down for the HR Journal. We'll be discussing the today's entry. Yeah, I think so. So this was definitely not referring to,
Starting point is 01:10:00 this article's prediction was not referring to the use of the Satisfier Pro or the Rabbit or any other use. It is actual, you know, human sized robots. Which are like becoming a thing, right? I have an article. Okay. Artificial intelligence takes adult fun toy industry by storm at the Chinese adult fun toy expo.
Starting point is 01:10:28 What an exit. I like, could you imagine everyone going in to get their lanyard at the table? Yeah, so the boat show. Yeah, gosh. The boat show is you're not learning about boats are ya? The burgeoning development of artificial intelligence has found a sultry new frontier in the adult fun robot industry.
Starting point is 01:10:44 As a Chinese company unveils a new series of realistic dolls designed to respond like humans enhanced by open source AI, the dolls can talk, identify and mimic emotions. They won't be squishy enough for me. I like something to kind of grab onto, a bit of flesh. It's gross. A bit of flesh.
Starting point is 01:11:01 I can't even read out that message from Matt. Our friend Matt. Matthew. I even read out that message from Matt. Our friend Matt. Thank you. I am gonna put that on the HR. I'm gonna put that on the HR list. Matt, our friend Matt. Hot. Just because it happened when we were on air.
Starting point is 01:11:15 I reckon you could fill them up with a water tank and they could do that, to be honest. Yeah, probably. Like your window washes. I also reckon they probably definitely can. Yeah, they probably can. 100%, 100%. No, I know. Do you know my favourite comment on this article is from 2025, from today is we are ready.
Starting point is 01:11:32 We are ready, yeah. Like hey, we are ready. I love though looking back, there were loads of these shows, I remember these shows growing up like there was Beyond 2000 and all those futuristic shows and they'd always be like, this is what we think. And then like now, like we're there or we're not. It's fascinating. Yeah, and you feel like we're so advanced, but some of them we still haven't got.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Yeah, also on Beyond 2000, Amanda Keller. Remember when she hosted it? I don't know how I remember that. Amanda Keller hosted. Yeah, she worked on the radio in Australia now. Yeah, I think that's the same Amanda. I've worked with Amanda. She hosted Beyond 2000 at one stage.
Starting point is 01:12:07 And she never once said, she said, coming up next on Beyond 2000, can you have sex with a robot? I bet you can. And it's only years away. Yeah. Never. Never, no, she'd always be like,
Starting point is 01:12:18 every home will have a computer screen everywhere. Yeah. We do, we do. We do. It's mosh-posh, some of them I move around. And everyone will have a really flat everywhere. Yeah. They're like, whoa. We do, we do. It's multiple, some of them move around. And everyone will have a really flat TV. Yeah, so thin it looks like artwork. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch One and Hayley. This is our last show before we go on holidays, we've got like two and a half weeks. We miss us, Georgia. Yeah guys, but I'm ready to buckle in for this HR set show, this is my favourite single. Oh yeah, watch your mouth,
Starting point is 01:12:44 because you'll end up on the list. There's a few rogues. Just want to say before we get into HR Journal today because it has been a wild show, we'll have a little bit of pod every day. Every day. For our listeners and podcast listeners. So you can podcast wherever you podcast.
Starting point is 01:12:58 iHeartRadio, Spotify, wherever. Yeah. Yep. Now Vaughan, did you have some music last time? Yeah I did. I'm just actually, you'll be aware I may have cancelled have some music last? Yeah, I did. I'm just actually you'll be aware I may have cancelled my YouTube premium subscription. So you great stall there. You've got through the ad indicator very huge recession indicator
Starting point is 01:13:15 Yeah, this is good Take it to HR take it to the HR Recap of the show. I will start at the top here Haley into the HR recap of the show. We'll start at the top here. Hayley, when we were talking about Jaffas and the fact that they were canceled and we learned it was named after a specific sort of orange now grown in the contentious Middle East.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Oh, and my mum messaged you about this. Yeah, her father was based in Jaffa. No, Jaffa, which we said, Yaffour. My granddad. Your granddad. Yeah, he was original Call of Duty. Yeah. Actually, I'm gonna put that on the list.
Starting point is 01:13:44 That's beautiful. Made light. He made light of that. Made Call of Duty. Yeah Actually, I'm gonna put that on the list that Made light of war In the middle of World War three ridiculous There's some respect. Okay, sorry about that. We are on the show. We are anti-war. I let it be nine Why yeah, it's all right to be anti-war I'm proud of you to put that down. Why? Yeah, it's all right to be anti-war. Because we said, we found out that the,
Starting point is 01:14:07 sort of the trademark of the orange was that it had a hard skin, making it great for export, but it was known for its sweet juices, and Hayley said, I'm also known for my sweet juices. Yeah, that was totally inappropriate. Actually hearing it back, reflecting that back to my arm, I'll take that. That was really inappropriate.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Also, we completely missed the six o'clock hour for this. This was a seven o'clock onwards, so this is only two thirds of the show. Next up, so put up one finger, Hayley, for points. Fletch and Vaughan were scared to sing the Māori anthem acapella. Yeah, because I didn't know some of the words. I know some, but not all.
Starting point is 01:14:38 I wasn't, I lacked the confidence to really get involved in it. Just to fill us in, Georgia is gonna give us the first line. E i o a a tua, bingo. Onai wi mato, yeah Christ George won. Safety in Nau Manau,
Starting point is 01:14:53 mea. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I would have known. You got away with that. I would have got away with it. So that's a finger each. Okay, and then Fletch and Hayley, you have to put up a finger for objectifying at the gym. You objectified the Warriors, the All Blacks, Billy Proctor specifically, and the entire Barrett family. So that's five. No, that was Hayley. Hayley actually. Fletch didn't objectify anybody.
Starting point is 01:15:18 Mine didn't objectify anybody. Yes, because you pulled me down and you said, oi, I didn't mind the Warriors at here. You objectified the Warriors and the All Blacks, so two fingers. Okay, all right. Is that three now for me? Yeah, it is. Yeah, oi. You objectified the warriors in the All Blacks, so two fingers. Okay, all right. Is that three now for me? Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Yeah, come here. Also, then Hayley, you did, I've just written down here, horny gangster appropriation. Yeah, she did. Just some horny gang. And then we did a dance to Ed Sheeran's new song without clearing it, probably.
Starting point is 01:15:40 No clearance from any Indian officials. No. And- See, I see that cultural celebration, not appropriation. That's straight to the point, celebration. This is also the first of our HR listening for a listener, Crikey Galeen Louise, who texted into the show. She's on there because she talked about getting donged
Starting point is 01:15:58 on the head in a giant earthquake. By a big beam. By a beam, and then she messaged again saying, and I'm referring to an actual beam not Vaughan's beam which I would take across the head is what she said. Good lord. So actually, Kreega Galli and Louise if you're still listening that's one finger for you. I wouldn't do much. Less than a beam. More of a kindling. Kindling riddled with borer. It's not gonna start a fire. You wouldn't even feel it. Nah, it'd be like a toothpick. How was that?
Starting point is 01:16:27 More of a toothpick, there we go, perfect. Actually, now that was Georgia just shaming you for penis shaming. Size shaming your penis. Morgan wouldn't have a bar of that. No, actually. New episode of St. Life out this morning, by the way. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:39 Okay, carry on. Hayley was late today, so we've gotta get to the airport. Yeah, okay. Next, Jonathan late today, so we've got to get to the airport. Yeah, okay. Next, Jonathan Bailey actually first guest HR report. He called me a bigger slut. Yeah, he did. Can we, Carmen, can we email the producers of the film and make sure that Jonathan gets a finger?
Starting point is 01:16:56 I actually really liked it. So did that. Gets a finger. Hailey, push. Put that down, Hailey. Guys, I'm gonna run out of fingers pretty soon. Hailey objectifying Jonathan Bailey? At 8.19 Vaughan said raw dog.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Yeah. Which people didn't like. It was about my voice sounding raw dog, but people didn't like that I just said raw dog. Put a finger up. Oh, then another finger. I assumed the gender of a dolphin. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:19 You can't do that. No. You can't do that. Always check. Hayley, you then insinuated that jacket reception was a thief. Yeah, I did actually. Which is an HR issue.
Starting point is 01:17:27 I racially profiled her. As a white woman. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha We were then talking in fact about the great Beaver flood and Hayley made reference to beavers and in an inappropriate way you knew what she meant so another finger for that. Another, this is one for another listener but also a close friend of the show, Matt, he said Chinese sex robots can't spit in your mouth. Yeah he did. Well I don't think we were going to say what it was but that's okay. He said it. Matt put your finger up.
Starting point is 01:18:00 We're here at HR, we say it even if it's not fun to hear. Yeah. Hayley said you are coming out on top. Matt, put your finger out. We're here at HR. We say it even if it's not fun to hear. Yeah. Um, Hayley said you are coming out on top. Are you about to, is your Spotify run out? Your YouTube premium? No, no. Oh, it's alright.
Starting point is 01:18:13 We're gonna miss you. No, it's still playing. Oh, I think your Siri's listening, babe. Siri, go away. Go away, babes. Well, this is embarrassing. Okay, cancel. Okay, cancel.
Starting point is 01:18:21 It's how she said her swear word. Siri, Siri, Siri. Oh my god, Siri. Siri, Siri, Siri. Siri, we cut that off in the wrong time! Siri tried to swear. Shit! Siri, we're on air! Okay, so then I will go back to the LA law theme here.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Oh no, Siri's listening again. Would you try again? No, you swore at us. Apologies. You can't. Stop it. Stop calling her that as well. Now you're saying it Vaughan.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Okay. Hayley said coming out on top. That's another HR one there. Oh, okay. Fletch, you made fun of World War II heroes. You're your own grandfather. I did. I just- You made light of it. I made light, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Georgia, you're penis shamed me. Sorry, I'll take two for that. Yeah. Because you don't. Far out. Put another finger up. I thought that was really funny but it isn't appropriate so three fingers. And I will take them. Okay we really must go because Hayley has been so late today. Finally Siri said the C word.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Yeah. So Siri put a finger up. Well I've got ten. Off to HR with you. You're not going anywhere. You're at Can Whaley's One HR Again. Bye. Yeah. So Siri put a finger up. Off to HR with you. You're not going anywhere. Europe can wait. Hailey's won HR again. Bye. review. Please don't. Unless it's a bad one. Oh yeah, don't. Don't bother.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Yeah, no don't. Don't bother. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley.
