Two minutes past six, good morning. Welcome to the show Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley, happy Friday. Happy Friday. Do you know what's amazing is, was it yesterday? I absolutely blew apart my coffee little flask thing. Blew it apart. What is it, a Frank Green? It's a Frank Green, Karen Walker collab with my name on it.

I know, fancy. Gosh. And it exploded because I was twisting and tutoring. Vaughan fixed it. Yeah, but he had to get a YouTube tutorial. I was trying to give him some praise. There is a YouTube tutorial. On how to fix a Frank Green...

Yeah, literally, and it's by the official Frank Green site, because obviously you have to take it apart every now and then to clean it properly. Yeah, and people don't, you couldn't get it. Vaughn was like, there's a part missing. Hayley, you've lost it. Oh, I know, we were hobbling around the floor having a look. I'm sure there was a part missing,

but I had one part upside down. But Lucky's got it. Oh, was that it? You were upside down. I had one part upside down and that was ruining everything. Classic. Well, thank you. Well, you're welcome. I'm going to put a cup of tea in there. It's fixed. Will you enjoy your cup of tea?

I've been on the peppy teas, back on the peppy teas. We've got International ATM returning this morning at 8 o'clock. Your chance to win some cash. We'll give you three currencies, foreign currencies, and then you pick one, all with different amounts. I love this game. The top six as well on the way. A bizarre story about Orlando Bloom.

I just... Is it Orlando Bloom? Yeah, it was Orlando Bloom. Okay. He said his blood cleaned. You said Orlando Bloom, like there was another famous Bloom, other than the Grammy artist.

No, I think Andy just sort of might've been somebody else entirely of that era. Yeah, it is. It's Orlando Bloom like there was another famous bloom. Other than the graffiti artist. No, I think Andy might have been somebody else entirely. Of that era. Yeah, it's Orlando Bloom. I mean, the Daily Mail's reporting this, so it might not be true. What? The Daily Mail's not always completely accurate. So apparently Orlando Bloom paid £10,000 to have his blood cleaned. Sometimes though, you know those days where you do feel it. Like that would be the only thing that would make you feel better.

It could hold blood clings. Like a transfusion? Yeah, like freshen it up. She's dusty. So the top six coming up dealing with this. The top six things you'd find in my blood if I was to get a $10,000 blood filtering. Because it's just filtering, it's like sieving it, isn't it? It's running it through a sieve.

It's like running it through a sieve. Yeah, like putting the flour in. Get the lumps out. Get the lumps out. Get the lumps out. One of those potato, one of those rices. Um, muslin cloth. Not a muslim cloth.

No, I don't say muslim cloth, I say muslin cloth. Well it's very similar. Very similar, but an M for an N. Play. ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. My multivitamin got stuck in my throat last night. Hey! Were you raw dogging? No, no, I wasn't raw dogging. Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. My multivitamin got stuck in my throat last night. Were you raw dogging?

No, no, I wasn't raw dogging. I think I got a recess. I think I got a mid-throat recess. You got a tiny throat knock. And the pillow went spelonking. Is that what it's called? Splonking. I don't know.

What is it called when you jump in a cave? One of those that it got water down you. And I remember as a kid, the fish oil one got stuck once and you burpee tastes like fish all day. So make sure you got a good high flow on that. No my ones don't. What about from the fish does the oil come? Out the hole. I always thought it was the skin. Well there you go. We milk the fish and eat the other fish. Healthy fish oils and good stuff. Yeah. Get some healthy mammography. Some healthy care officials and good stuff. It's good stuff. Yeah, I was doing some internet surfing.

I was surfing the World Wide Web. Okay. And I saw a headline on Reddit that said that Flick Power, Flick the Power Company is going gone. Is that you? Yes, it is. I've recently been dealing with all the admin of that and what's the deal here? What do I do?

Do I just stay on? They're not going to turn my power off are they? Help me I'm a grown man. Help me what do I do? I assume they're just going to be sold to someone and they'll stop trading under the name Flick and everything else will just take care of itself. It'll be absorbed. So Flick was owned by Zed, the petrol station people.

Who seem to have been having a big clear out, right? Cause there's those new petrol stations that are popping up. Yeah. You go, is that what it's called? I don't know, it's something with purple. Purple orange. No shops.

That's the idea, right? Yeah, no shops. It's like a purple and cheaper. Yeah. I want little Southern style chicken bites. Well then you've got to keep going to BP and pay a premium for that fuel. Yeah, I know.

Trust me, as someone that borrowed your car and had to put premium in it, but the only option was a BP, daddy got, whewie, whewie, it's worth it. When I borrow Hailey's car, I just put 91 in. Do you? Sometimes diesel, because it's so much cheaper. It is, eh, it's good.

And because I don't have the road user charges, it's real savings. Yeah, it really is, yeah's good. And because I don't have to worry about user charges, it's real savings. It really is, yeah. What do I do? So it was owned by... I come to you, Fletch. It was owned by Zed and they've sold it to Meridian. So now you'll just be with Meridian. I'm Meridian. Are you Meridian? Because is that the one with Jeremy Wells and he's walking on the... Used to be, and then Meridian now Mother Nature. Right. And I'm Meridian last year. I went to Anchor Island with Meridian and met the couple. Oh yeah.

So I feel like I might owe them one. So maybe I just stay put. You just stay with them. I've been with them for ages. You know who, when this happened, my immediate reaction was like, I wonder what mum's doing. But even at 43, my reaction was like,

what will mum have to say about this? Oh help me mum. Mum, my power company's shutting down. What do I do? She won't know. Help. No she won't know. She wouldn't know any more than I know. I think I'm, I was thinking about my mum the other day

because she's left some towels at my house and they're so much fluffier than mine, so I've been using them. I've chucked them into the regular rotator and I've bleached them. So obviously something I'm putting on my skin. That would have bleached all over them. Oh, what was that stuff that?

What was that stuff that? Acne stuff. Proactive? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah? Oh, Benzac. Justin Bieber promoted it. Oh, Proactive. Proactive. I don't use that, but I have been using acne stuff. That bleach towels.

So that'll be that. Yeah, right. By the way, sorry, I'm just side barring again. That neck pimple I had, she got juiced yesterday. So she'll be on the road to healing. I got this one here. Cassandra. Is that what you've named it?

Cassandra, yeah. Great stuff. I've got one on my throat, yeah, shaving. Cassandra. Is that what you've named it? Cassandra, yeah. Great stuff. I got one in my throat, yeah, it's shaving. And I was like, what's that? And I started bleeding, and I was like, that's an ingrown hair or a pimple or something. Just before you stay with them though, a power company's still doing that thing

where they'll give you $100 or a TV or something if you're. If you come to us. You remember when they were doing that all the time? Yeah. I'll tell you, that's all dried up. That's all dried up, hasn't it? Oh, come on, where's my free TV? Remember they were doing that all the time? Yeah. Yeah. I'll take a hundred dollars on that. That's all dried up, isn't it? Oh come on, where's my free TV? Remember they were doing like months power

or like $200 credit or something? Oh you're saying it's time to shop around? Well maybe. I'm saying have a look for one. I'll have a shop around. I'll have a shop around right now. Shop around. There used to be a website that was like

putting your address in it tells you what was best for you. Yeah like Power Shop or I don't know. Or just wait till your neighbours are out and run a couple of extension cords. Yeah, not a bad idea. Yeah, yeah, tap in. Get a couple of power, free power. I've got a good electrician,

he'll be able to just sort of tap you in. Tap a house into the house. I might just go straight to the power line on the side of the road like they do in South East Asia. Yeah, just hook in. Yeah, hook in. It's loose there. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley's.

I've never flown Air France. Neither. No, the French airline, Vaughan and Hallease. I've never flown Air France. Neither. No, the French airline, Vaughan? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. When have you flown Air France? I believe in 2005 during the Black Ops World Tour. You were gonna see your girlfriend Fergie. Fergie said.

She flew you over. She said, Vaughanalicious, I gotta see ya. I gotta see ya, my boy, my boy. And I said, Fergalicious, my love you over. She said, Vaughanalicious, I've got to see you. I've got to see you, my boy, my boy. And I said, Fergalicious, my love, let's get it on. And she was like, we're going to Paris. I said, fly me there. And she flew me to France. I knew Vaughan during this time and he did not go to France.

He didn't go to France. He's never flown to France, he's lying. No, I've never, but I think it's one of maybe like, it's definitely up there as one of the nicer airlines. Oh, okay. Yeah. You know, there's sort of the ones we know that aren't great. What was the one I saw the other day? Oh yeah. China Southern. I've flown them before. It was just, it was an interesting experience. Anyway, Air France is opening a pop-up restaurant

in Paris on the rooftop of Galerie Lafayette. They're massive like, it's more mall shopping department complex. Like a Westfield but French. Like a fancy Westfield, but not quite Cacauldes Staines. Yep. Cacauldes Staines, that was a weird one. Smith and Coys, Ballantyne's, that kind of vibe. But nice. So they're doing a pop-up restaurant

where at this restaurant, they will be able to taste the plain food but sort of served a little bit more bougie. On like a plate that's actually crockery. Not plastic. Yeah. Dining tray. This is only gonna cost, so booze included. Yep. Right? So you get your little meals,

an appetiser, a starter, main and a section of cheeses and dessert. It will only cost $175. Now everyone's like yuck, plain food yuck, ooh, but it is being made by a Michelin star chef. Oh, okay, right. So what he's doing is he's kind of taking Air France's plain food and giving it a little Michelin spin.

A lot of chefs design the food for the planes, right? Yeah, but they don't cook it. No, and then it's made in some giant mega warehouse near the airport. Nina Maiteyar and the Régé Macron are the chefs and pastry chef that will be putting together this menu. Won't be interesting to see their take on some kind of beefy slop. Yeah, beefy slop or chicken with veg?

Dry chicken and veg. Yeah. For me, I would go early in the morning and get some sort of pale, pale, pale yellow dust eggs. Yeah, and then weirdly, middle of the morning, I might get some, is this fish? Yeah, you might get grey. Really grey fish. Really grey fish.

Yeah, and then I might go- What kind of fish is this? And they're just like, oh, it's from the sea. Yeah, I think because I'll be able to smell the fish, I might opt for the sort of stodgy gnocchi, the vegetarian option. Yeah, nice. Which sometimes is a safer bet.

I know you love that. And then when I go back into the mall to do my shopping after I've eaten, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna fart for hours through that mall. Like you're in a plane. Because the food's really, just really doing a number on me. Nothing makes me bloat. I've got IBS. Nothing makes me bloat like plain food. And I know it's not just the food, it's the combination right of the altitude pressure, yeah, but man, the farts on me. ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Oh no, I used that.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. So this was done by Choice, which is like Australia's consumer NZ. Yep. The consumer group Choice. Now they will just do what consumer NZ does and

test products and appliances. We the consumer are getting what we think we're buying. That's who was running that power thing we talked about before. I went to it. I went to it and that's a consumer New Zealand thing. They always trusted a neutral right? That's the vibe. They're not brand loyal. Well they tested 20 popular SPF 50 and SPF 50 plus sunscreens. So bear in mind this is out of Australia, but I recognise pretty much all of these brands, a lot of them. Guys, it's so bad. What happened? Well we live under, and I speak on behalf of Australia as well, under the hole in the ozone layer,

which means we burn at a rapid rate and we need immense protection against the sun. So of the sunscreens that they tested, only four lived up to the standard they claim, with 16 falling short. So an SPF 50 sunscreen is meant to block out 98% of the rays, meaning it will take 50 times longer to get burned than with protected skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't mean you're protected for 50 hours.

Remember when we used to think that? Yeah. SPF 50 meant 50 minutes or 50 hours or something? No, I never thought that. Okay, well I was so dumb. So SPF 4 protects you for 4 minutes. I'm dumb. So out of all of them that they tested, 4 returned SPF results in the 40s,

4 in the 30s, and seven in the 20s. You're gonna recognize these and it's scary. So the ones that tested at the 50 plus, right, which in New Zealand we should be wearing, that claimed they were 50 plus, La Roche Posay, now that's like, La Roche Posay, Neutrogena Ultra Shea Body Lotion, which I use all the time, and Mecca Cosmetica's Save Body, which is one of my go-tos. Okay, so you're doing all right then? Mm-mm, there's others. So those all claim to be SPF 50.

La Roche Posay actually tested at 72. And then Neutrogena at 56, Mecca at 51. Available at the Chemist's Warehouse. Yeah, La Roche Posay is one of Chemist's Warehouse. Yeah, La Roche-Posay is one of Chemist's Warehouse light. Yeah, nice. Okay. So then Nivea Sun Kids Ultra Protect and Play, that says 50 plus, and Nivea Sun Protect and Moisture, that says 50 plus, and Sunbum, that says 50 plus,

all tested at 40. So it's saying 50, but it is 40. I don't know, I feel like there have been so many of these tests that I've never purchased an SPF 50 sunscreen thinking it's gonna be 50 I've always thought it's at least gonna be 40 30. Well let me show you how bad it's gonna get. Okay. So then SPF results that say that they're 50 but tested in the 30s banana boat, bondi sands and invisible zinc face and body mineral sunscreen all 35, 32 and 38.

So too low. Yeah. Now everyone who in this category that claimed it was 50, but it's actually in the 20s, Banana Boat, Bondi Sands, Neutrogena and a Woolworths Home Brand Sunscreen. This is the worst one. And this was like a viral TikTok Instagram sunblock that I bought. It was super expensive, remember? I bought an Australia Fletch with you

and I dropped it and I cracked the bottle. I was like, it's called Ultraviolet. You can get it from like, I think like Mecca or like, you know, Sephora, one of those. Lean screen, SPF 50 plus, mattifying zinc sunscreen. Claims to be 50, SPF 50, tested at four. Four! Four.

SPF four. That's like what mums used to buy in the 80s. They used to buy Le Tan. Le Tan. And the darker the bottle, that was the darker the skin would get. Four. That is insane.

Dude. And this was this huge, popular, trendy, that I imagine teenagers would be like, oh my God, we've got to get the ultraviolet. Cause I remember being like, this stuff's nice. That's insane though, that when they, that. Four. Yeah.

That they're allowed to sell, claiming that they're that. Yeah. Yeah. Like you say, if it's, if it's 40 and you're like, oh no, you should be topping up your sunscreen anyway. Four. Well, you should, you should, every time you go for a swim, you always put a little bit more on, eh?

And four. Yeah. That's ridiculous. In New Zealand, sun in the height of summer, if you're not going for a swim and then coming out drying off under an umbrella and putting on sunscreen on, you will get burnt. 100%. And then you're like, I'll be all right for five minutes. You're not.

But where's that new story? Herald? I'm on the Herald. Yeah. Eleven sunscreens sold in New Zealand do not meet SPF claims. Crazy. Wow. You gotta be careful.

Let's just remember this for when it is actually summer. Yeah, we'll remind you. Have you got sunscreen on even in winter, on those sunny winter days? Yes. Oh yeah, we get a bit of that. Do you do that every day? I wear sunscreen every single day. And also, I wear sunscreen every day, and then my tinted moisturiser also has SPF 50 in it. I reckon that's why you look 21.

This is honestly why I'm the hottest woman I've ever met in my entire life. You were to say that. You didn't even finish your sentence. I couldn't even commit. I couldn't even commit. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the top six. Yeah, get out of there. Oh, get out of my way.

Oh my God. I saw a young person sharing a Guido Hatsy's... Get out of my- Get out of my- Oh my God, I saw a young person sharing a Guido Hatsy's prank phone call from the 1990s on TikTok. God, prank phone calls better not make a comeback. You're kidding me, it's back, and they're like, oh my God, this is hilarious. It's also 30 years old. When you guys were first, back when you first started working radio,

did you get pranked often? No. On the phone No, not really. I remember doing that as a kid and I'll tell you what, I'm sorry, but I listened to more FM in the 90s. Who are you pranking on more FM in the 90s? I can't even remember. I don't know, but we used to call up and request songs and be like, oh, pfft. Oh, you little ratbags. I know, little ratbags. I know, little ratbags. Yeah. Well, celebrity Orlando Bloom, allegedly, has had some very expensive blood-

Filtering. Filtering. Which is a transfusion, right? Like it goes out through a machine that cleans it and back into you? Or do you get all new blood? I don't know. No, I think it just runs through a filter.

Right. A filter's what you got. Right, I looked at the blood, the blood life cycle. Okay. So it forms in bone marrow, found in the spine, ribs, pelvis, et cetera, that's the good stuff inside your bone. That's also really young when you do like a beef on the, a beef shin roast that you gotta keep them young.

Not of a human though. No, not of a human. No, obviously not. Not of a human. So then they turn into two different types of blood and they horn around. And then they're removed mainly by the spleen, liver, and the blood marrow recycles them.

Iron from hemoglobin gets reused for new bits and proteins and other cell parts are broken down and repurposed. God, the body's amazing. Well, Lando Bloom doesn't need to do this. If in fact he has done this. Well, but didn't the story also say they filtered out some microplastics? They're just going to find their way back in there, that's so cheeky.

I think he's been scammy-whammy. Scammed with a new wave of health. This is a problem when you've got so much money and you're into health and stuff. You just end up spending it on so much rubbish. Yeah, so much crap. All you need to do is just eat well and... Eat some veggies. Do you know what I mean?

Have a cup of water. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Just have a cup of water. I haven't had a drink all week. Hold for applause. Of alcohol. Of alcohol.

Oh my god. Well, I have accepted your allotted amount. I thank you for it. You're not hard. Dude. Just you. Top six things you'd find in my blood if it was's literally not hard. Dude. Ha ha ha ha ha. Just you. Top six things you'd find in my blood if it was to get the filtration.

Okay. It's a lot going on in there. I've looked at my blood under a microscope and it's like a where's Wally. Have you? Yeah, it's everywhere. There's so much stuff going on in there. Number six on the list of the top six things

you'll find in my blood, Madeline McCarn. I'm sorry. Oh my gosh, she was there all along. She's been there all along. Jesus Christ. I didn't know where this was going. Well, you told me I wasn't allowed to say MH370. And he said it, now he's said it. Well, it's not a good day for that.

It's not a great day. There's been a plane crash today. It's not a good day for that. Yes. Number five on the list of the top six things. He's being naughty, I can feel it. Top six things you'll find in my blood. Your keys.

Oh my God, I've been looking for them all morning. That's why I was late. They're in my blood. I'm sorry, they're in my blood. Have you seen my blood, your keys. Oh my God, I've been looking for them all morning. That's why I was late. They're in my blood. I'm sorry, they're in my blood. Have you seen my keys? I have. And then you set off a little noise maker and it's like.

And you? Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, around your body. Number four on the list of the top six things you'll find in my blood, if you filter it, cholesterol apparently. Oh yeah. Last time I went in. Oh yeah, that's right, you've got high.

It's because you eat a lot of meat. I've told you this, you eat way too much red meat. It's a family thing. It's also a hereditary thing. We also eat a lot of meat. I've told you this, you eat way too much red meat. It's a family thing, it's also a hereditary thing. We also eat a lot of red meat. So it might just be our diet that's hereditary. But they said, oh yeah, it's as high now as it was in 2014. Obviously they spoke to you about it then,

and I said, this is the first time hearing about it. In 2024. I must go back actually. Yeah. I must go back and see my doctor and get the, I've been living slightly healthier. Okay. Number three on go back and see my doctor and get the... I've been living slightly healthier. Okay. Number three on the list of the top six things you'll find in my blood, your other airpod. Oh my god. It's long gone. Yeah, no, it's in my blood.

J-Pub. How did it get in there? I can't even begin to think how it got in there. I don't know. Compared to how you started this list, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah. You know, when you started with the worst. And also he has been, he's working really hard on the top six, is cause you've banned puns till August. I know. You know, and that's taken away a pretty key tool for him. It's taken a huge chunk.

I know. Oh, I wanted you to work harder, Vaughn. Well, number two on the list of the top six things you'll find on my blood, the true identity of Jack the Ripper. Oh my God, we never knew. It's floating around there. Haven't they done some testing recently

and they've got a really good idea of who it is? Really? I don't know. Sarah. Sarah, imagine that to us. It was a female all along. I know. That's why she got away with it.

You'd never suspect. And number one on the list of the top six things you'll find on my blade if you look right down, right next to the heart and you look really closely and you listen really hard, you'll hear a lovely little whiskey factory where someone's playing the fiddle and they're making you drink so much it's made a factory. Manifested a factory in there. It's just right next to the heart. And it's just poaching your heart. Yeah and it's making whiskey and the little trucks are leaving and they're

going getting in the blood system down they go all around the body and delivering their little whiskies and then and then out making whiskey and the little trucks are leaving and they're getting in the blood system, brrrr, down they go, they're all around the body and delivering their little whiskies and then out the back of the factory you see that there's a pipe and the pipe's coming out and it's just dumping it straight into the water system. Oh really, it's polluting. That's polluting, that's also my bloodstream. So there's a lot going on in there,

but I won't get rid of it, it's a lovely little spot. I have to retire there one day. That's the day stops at. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. So Loki the Wigram Community Cat. Now that needs a children's book written about it. Loki. As in the Nordic God of Mischief. And Tom Hiddleston's character from the MCU.

Yeah, I don't know if you were writing a kids book, that'd be trademarked by, who owns that? Disney now. No, dude, they can't because Loki's a Nordic god. Oh, okay. If you were to make it in the likeness of Tom Hiddleston, you may come across some Disney adjacent, but they can't own that.

Okay. Right. So Loki is a little cat that holds a special place in the Christchurch Wigram community's heart. Regular appearance at the local New World. Sits upon the trolleys, gets pet. I love when you go into a dairy or a bar and there's a cat and it just lives there. How great is that? Does Mike the Wigram Wonder know about the Wigram cat? I don't know. I don't know why his nickname is the Wigram Wonder know about the Wigram Cat? I don't know.

I don't know why his nickname is the Wigram Wonder. The mind boggles at the possibilities. Does he know about Loki? I don't know. Loki and Mike the Wigram Wonder. That would be a good kids' book. Some Wigram residents. Wigram residents, Wigram residents, Wigram residents, Wigram residents.

A Wigram resident wriggled out of a Wigwam, out of a wrestling ring that was under a Wigwam. Was under a Wigwam. Have you ever seen Wigwam heaps when you're a kid? Now is that- I've never seen it. A Windwamp. A TP, was also known as a Wigwam.

Oh, okay. Now I'm saying it, I feel it may have been a fan. I feel like that came from the west. Yeah, I feel like you're saying gollywog. Anyway. Wigwam. So Loki is just this little cute cat and the wigwam community is divided to the point where they had a local body meeting

where politicians got together to decide whether or not Loki's community services award that he was awarded should be revoked or not. Oh, what? Why? Because some members of the community think that it's not fair. Oh, he's on drugs. He's on drugs of the community think that it's not fair. Oh he's on drugs, he's on drugs. Some people say that it's not a fear

that this cat is getting a community service award because it's just a cat, it doesn't know what it's doing, it's just been cute and sitting on trolleys. But it brings a lot of joy to people. Who missed out on the community award that they're like. Yeah, they're like, no, they're miffed at the cat. They're starting a smear campaign. The Waipuna Horswell Hornby Rickerton Community Board the award that they're like... Yeah, and they're like, no, I'm after the cat. They're starting a smear campaign.

The Waipuna Horswell Hornby Rickerton Community Board received a complaint that recognised that Loki took away from the work of great humans of Wigram and that they were to meet to discuss. This meeting occurred last night. Okay, do you know the outcome of the meeting? I believe the award has been upheld. Oh fantastic. I think so.

Because like, there'll be more awards. They said that the meeting was an overreaction. Yeah, okay, that's the thing about awards, we can just make more of them if we want. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like you could do another one for a human, like you could have done one last night. Yeah, they said it does not take away

from contributions of humans to the community. Do you know, I've just found Loki. Loki is an all black cat. Yes, I love black cats. We're gonna mess with a black cat on Friday the 13th. Oh my God, it's Friday the 13th. Why are we tangoing with the occult on this day? Let the cat be, let the cat do what he wants to do.

He might summon witches. You're a former witch. I am a former witch. How would you take this? We don't F with today, okay? No, no. And this black cat, I had a black cat when I was a teenage witch as well, Shaq.

Which again, was quite a problematic name. I like a black cat. I like black cats, they're really cute. But my problem is, you can't see them at night. No, but I mean like- Yes you can, you see their little glowing eyeballs. Yeah, but they can get run over and stuff because people don't see them as readily.

Yeah, that's why you need a fluoro yellow cat. Yeah, I'd love a fluoro why you need a fluoro yellow cat. Yeah, I'd love a fluoro cat. Or a fluoro pink cat. Or just get your black cat a hi-viz. You love hi-viz. That would actually look really good on a cat. Oh my god, you're the hi-viz best dog. Sorry mate, if you're going out tonight you've got to wear your hi-viz.

Maybe stop him catching birds and stuff too. I would just like to say shout out to Loki and a lot of people acknowledge the joy that Loki brings to the majority of the Wigram community and congratulations Loki on your award. Play ZM's Fletchporn and Hayley. Fletchporn and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly, we've got a new Silly Little Pole logo on our Instagram stories.

Oh, nice. Yeah, that's nice. Oh my God, let me check it, let me check it. It's really clever, it's Silly Little Pole and sort of a lavender capital letters, nice block writing, and then it goes pole, and then the L goes down and then comes up like a graph. Oh, like a pole, like a graph. Like a graph.

Like a graph graph. Beautiful. Graph or graph? Graph. I'd say graph. Yeah. And that makes me want to say silly little polololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol options we gave was yes, no not anymore or no I never did. God it's such a pain I'm doing a big wardrobe clear at the moment and it's just it's fine the

selling of it but then it's like can you do armpit to armpit? It's a size 12 babe like take a gamble. And it's like a brand if it's a brand you know like it it's a medium. Or whatever size it is. Just take a gamble. What the hell? Get out. I hate it, I hate it. Size medium. Are you still selling clothes on TradeMe? 56% of people said no, I never did.

Okay. 33% of people said no, not anymore. Maybe they're market placing, but jeez have you trodden them? I mean it's, yeah they're both pros and cons. 11% of people that responded are still selling clothes on TradeMe. You know what they need, like, you know how there are like Sunday markets? I mean you could go to a Sunday market but they need like a market where it's just

girlies and guys that just take all their clothes. They have those. Where? I've seen them advertised our way out, can you? They do have them but they're rare. Whereas in LA, every weekend you have people reselling their clothing. I reckon that would be cool. Because I want to do this.

Well, because do you remember, it was only a couple of weeks ago, we had the poll like how many clothes are in your wardrobe that you haven't used? Oh yeah, all of them. Or worn. And it was like the amount of people that had like six or seven plus garments were like 30 percent. Imagine you just turn up, pop the booty, a couple of clothes hangers. Haggle some prices. Me and mum want to do this.

Auckland's Avondale markets. Yeah. The Avondales. Yeah but then there's like people selling watermelons. But that's the beauty of the Avondale markets. Watermelons in the skirt. There's bloody everything. But I reckon like you say like they're doing LA or wherever, a meet and it's just people with all their clothes.

I think this could become a project for me. Oh, you're already so busy. I know, but I just... You don't need another project. Yeah, well I like... But you do need to get rid of your clothes. I know, but girlies do these great parties where you do a swap. So say you go, hey girls, I'm hosting a party at my house.

Everyone bring 10 garments that they don't want. And then you know, no one exchanges money. You just exchange clothes. You could bring all your AS color t-shirts that look like piss. No, you've got to set the bar. Guys, they don't look like piss. No, your white one looks like it's got- I'm not turning up with moochie and- I don't know why I wouldn't have anything worthy of this sale. I'm not buying you, I'm not exchanging a moochie blazer for your piss t-shirt. It's not piss t-shirt. blazer for your piss T-shirt. It's not piss T-shirt.

It is, your piss T-shirt. Same colour. So some messages. Tanya says, no way, there's way too much faffing around. So I don't know what her alternative is. Whether she's just taken in the Sallys or what. Yeah. Too much of a hoarder with all the fluctuations,

says Lottie, I'll keep my options open. She needs what I'm putting in my garage, the fluctuation station. Yeah. Ranges from a 10 to a 16. Whereas I do that stupid thing where if I lose weight, I'm like, goodbye. No. Fanko's and I throw them all out.

I'm like, I'll never need you again. Hacker me. Hickooly. Goodbye fatty. You're 100 meters deep in a landfill. Yeah. Dammit. Oh no, I always donate the good ones.

Oh yeah, nice. I donate the good stuff donate the good ones. Oh yeah, nice. I donate the good stuff to the guys. The good stuff, what, like pissy t-shirts? Pissy t-shirt. No, guys. And that pissy t-shirt he claims he's only worn twice. And it gets to the sellers, they're like, I better put this in the bin.

No, rags. You can't have rags. Not even for rags, they're like, we can't sell piss rags. You can sell piss rags. You can't sell piss rags. You can sell piss rags. No, you can't.

Can't be bothered with the drama of it says Carlina, so I just bagged them up and let them sit in my lounge for six months before dropping them off at the op shop or the Sally's. Yeah, which is great. These are, I like the SPCA shops. Makes me feel like I'm helping the animals. Yeah.

Rather than the people. Yeah, no, people have had a chance. I've given them more than enough chances. People have had their chance. I meant to click never, I never did, because why would I pay to list something when I could do it on Facebook Marketplace for free, says Geordie.

Cause it's a weird place. You guys met Geordie after Hayley's Christchurch show. Oh yeah. And Geordie was the one that sent me the Chapel Rowan t-shirt. Yes. We did meet her, she was lovely. We liked Geordie, Geordie friend of the show.

Close friend of the show. Zoe says, Instagram stories or designer wardrobe for good more expensive items. Yeah, designer wardrobe rules. What's that one? Just a website where it has to be of like a higher quality clothing. Okay, so no piss T-shirt. So your piss T-shirt would not sell. I'll do it. It's the worst. It is literally the worst.

For those that haven't been joining us over the last few weeks, Vaughan has a white t-shirt. White and blue t-shirt. It came in that colour. It has a yellow tinge to it. It's got a yellow. But you saying it came in that colour is almost worse. It came in bone.

That you walked into a shop and said, I want that piss t-shirt. That photoshop, that photoshop we had that I've just got rid of where I was husky, and that's been kind to myself. I was husky, they that's been kind to myself. I was husky, they got me that T-shirt. Right, yeah, but you- But you're the one who decided to take it home, and put it into rotation.

It was free, are you kidding? That was free, I love free things. It literally looked like it was covered in piss. I live, I wanna- Carry on, carry on. I live for the thrill of listening then with a $1 reserve, who gambles with TAB when you've got trade messes, Hannah? Yeah, good stuff. Ah, that's interesting, she's getting the thrill out of then with a $1 reserve who gambles with TAB when you've got trade me says Hannah

Yeah, good stuff. Ah, that's just getting the thrill out of it Abby said designer wardrobe is where it's at another plug for them. So good and the last two weeks I've sold eight items mostly clothes and bits and bobs from around the house. And honestly, it's so much it's so easy I don't know. I don't care that they have a success fee because I can receive payment quickly via ping Yeah items in ASAP. I'd never go on Marketplace, too many time wasters. And also, TradeMe has the legal thing. Like if they buy it, they are legally up, and then you can change soon.

Yeah, obligated to do it. Jack Mullen says, I'm too lazy to deal with it all. Op shops do very well when I declutter. And Briar, if you have the time to scroll through all the weird corners of TradeMe, you can really find some gems. Can we do a video where Vaughn takes his piss T-shirt to a Sally's or something, and we will capture the moment they say no

Please it in splich Vaughn and Haley. Well guys times are tough out there. You've cancelled YouTube premium I'm your signs of a recession. Yep. Yeah, and times the toughest san course pay no tax. I'm actually down to only two streaming services. Really? Neon, because they kindly gifted us an excessive amount of neon. And Disney because I do it once a year and it won't expire till the end of the year. I would just like to say the other day I went, oh sorry, it was Taco Monday, which you know I celebrate on Monday a day before everyone else. Because of the international timeline. Instead of getting Tio Pablo tortillas, I got home brand Woolworths. So a flour based tortilla rather than traditional corn.

Yeah, so I guess we're all feeling the pinch. Well Sanitarium are cutting a bunch of breakfast cereals. I reckon I haven't bought a box of cereal in my adult life. I'm not a cereal person. Cereals falling out of fashion though, wildly right? Because wasn't, remember the food pyramid when we were growing up and grains and carbs

and breads were on the bottom. Wasn't that big grain? Yeah, yeah. It was funded by, that research was funded by big grain. And now that they've flipped it, it's obviously fruits and vegetables down the bottom, proteins in the middle, and then your carbs and all that kind of stuff up the top. At the top, yeah. Well, Sanitarium are removing some iconic cereals.

They've rolled off the production line for the last time, Stuff Gathered. I just think we could have a bit of sad music here. Stuff Gathered. Can you put on... Stuff Gathered. Can you put on Coldplay Fix You? I thought you were telling me there's a serial called Stuff gathered.

No. I was like, no, what are they canceling out? It sounds Welsh and chewy. Coldplay fix you please. I just think, I just think we're a moment. Some emotional, some emotional music. Is that the best funeral song? Well, it's just what we play

when we talk about sad things. What about, oh yeah, okay. Oh, what about like goodbye my lover? Goodbye my friend, James Blunt. Goodbye my honey puffs. Yeah, goodbye, goodbye, coco puffs. Well, no, goodbye my lover? Goodbye my friend James Blunt? Goodbye my honey puffs. Yeah goodbye, goodbye Coco Puffs. Well no, Coco Puffs aren't... You've just said Coco Puffs, they're not going.

They're not listening to you. Oh no, I'm just making it, I don't know. Does that mean they can't just say... No! This is exactly what I'm trying to stop! Your misinformation! Jeez. We don't want people out there thinking...

No wonder no one trusts the media anymore. Exactly. So no. Who makes Coco Puffs? Nestle. No, I don't want people out there. No wonder no one trusts the media anymore. Exactly. So no. Who makes Coco Pops? Nestle. Nestle or Kelloggs or whatever it is. No, that is not being discontinued. The sanitarian products that are being discontinued,

and this is not a surprise, these were announced last year. Honey Puffs, Musely Clusted, Granola, Light and Tasty, Wheaties and Puffed Wheat. Light and Tasty. Yeah. The 90 Puffed Wheat. Light and Tasty! Oh, the 90s mums! Yeah, beautiful. Not yellow.

Is that right? Yeah, that's fine. Yellow's fine. No, Fix You is what I asked you. No, it should be Fix You. I'm so embarrassed about this DJing. God, you're useless today, aren't you? So, but Light and Tasty, that was the almond mums of the 90s who were like, what?

Light and Tasty. That's better. They went, this is going to keep me nice and slim. No, Special K was the 90s mum cereal of choice. Oh, cause then there was the woman in the red top. Yeah, and it was basically, it was Sultana brown without the Sultanas. Well, the granola one was first made in New Zealand in 1901.

It was continued until 1992. Wow. Then stopped and reintroduced in 2019. I'm actually gonna find an instrumental of that. I can't stand him talking over the background of you. But it's the Honey Puffs that's really got, because that's iconic, the ads. The ads with the bees.

Yeah, I mean, it's had so many generations of Honey Puffs ad. Yeah. God, it tastes like crap though. Honey Puffs are old, just old, fresh. I will remind you again, I've had to cancel my YouTube premium, so I'm getting a lot of ads beforehand.

I should be able to skip this. Fawn, can you just log into mine? We can share it. I just honestly cannot put up with this. I don't need that. No, I'm an everyday guy. I just gotta sit through an ad. An unskippable wix.

According to Sanitarium, coupled with the cost of investment in buildings and equipment to sustain production and the fact that they don't pay any tax. He's got a dig in there. He's got a little dig in from me there. It's apparently more viable for them to shift resources to productions of other consumer favorites.

What, like? Of the other stuff they make. What were those ones that were like- Yeah, well they make wheat bakes. What were the ones that were like hatch? Was it like a grid? Checks. Checks.

Who makes checks? Yeah, they were me. Are they still around? Do checks have fruit? What were the ones, the little ones? The little ones like that but they have fruit in the middle. Pockets, little bit of pockets. Little bit of pockets.

Nanny was used to get them for me when I'd go stay. Nanny got them. Yeah, that was a grandparents treat, that one. Also news that Murray, Murray Melchon, a Palmerston North resident, has stockpiled 24 boxes of Wheaties. Now we were told we're not supposed to stockpile, we're not supposed to panic buy. Oh Wheaties. Look at Murray. What are Wheaties? I'm ashamed Wheaties? Now we were told we're not supposed to stop, we're not supposed to panic buy. What are Wheaties? I'm ashamed Wheaties.

Murray looks like an old mate who's had Wheaties every single breakfast of his life. Why would I change now? Why would I change? God forbid if he goes away, Mini Wheats. Dude, is that what they were called? Oh my God. That's what people are texting in, Mini Wheats.

Mini Wheats, yeah. There wasn't enough fruit in them, I feel they pull back on the fruit towards the endats. Mini wheats, yeah. There wasn't enough fruit in them, I feel they pull back on the fruit towards the end of the mini wheats. Yes. Someone has texted in they're pregnant and honey puffs is their number one pregnancy craving and they're devastated.

Well, get in there and buy up all you can because it's gone after- Buy nine months supply. It's gone after the last ones snapped up at the supermarket by the sounds of it. Wow. Yeah, just times are tough out of it. Wow. Yeah. Just times are tough out there guys.

Times are tough. I'm cancelling YouTube premium. Kellogg's is cancelling honey puffs. I'm buying flour tortillas. It's not Kellogg's, it's Sanitarium. Sanitarium is cancelling honey puffs. But crying out loud, you're misinformation. Yeah, but Kellogg's is next.

No, it's not. Have you ever watched that movie about the John Kellogg? Has that guy? Anthony Hopkins plays with it. He invented cereal to stop people masturbating. Yeah, that's... It's... Sorry?

Do you not know this? No. This is the reason why corn flakes were invented. Yeah, to stop people masturbating. Why, because you can't masturbate while you're eating a bowl of cereal. Yeah. It was to...

How's it harder than when you're having toast? It's challenging, but it's not impossible. It's challenging, I'll give it a red hot no. Because toasts are one-handed. So cereal. You know, you've got to be eating in the bowl and you've got to be sitting at something. No, but it's not impossible. It's challenging, I'll give it a red hot no. So serial. You're gonna be eating in the bowl and you're gonna be sitting in something. No but it's the actual name. The actual hole in the bowl.

It's the actual reason they were invented. Look it up, it's like historical. Oh my gosh, challenge accepted. Play ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Guys, we're so lucky. Michelle Brazier who is an Australian comedian, writer, performer, actor, singer, what else do you want? I like dogs.

Dog lover. Dog fan. Dog lover. Yeah, big dog fan. Do you want to see a picture of my two dogs? Please, yeah, I do want to see that on air. Sounds like a good audio medium. It's a Vaughn's new to radio.

Michelle Brazier who has her show reform opening in Auckland tonight as part of the Cabaret Festival. And then you're performing tomorrow as well.

Thank you for joining us. Oh my gosh, thank you so much, I love it here. Are you on Aussie time? I am sort of on Aussie time, yeah. I'm a bit confused. No, it's five o'clock in the morning, Hon. It's only two hours behind. Well, we don't know where in Australia she's from.

I know she's from Melbourne, I think she done my research. She could be from Perth, then it could be like two in the morning. I'm kind of on Perth time. I just filmed a TV show in Perth, and then I went's from Melbourne, I think she's done my research. She could be from Perth, then it could be like two in the morning. I'm kind of on Perth time. I just filmed a TV show on Perth and then I went back to Melbourne, then I went to Adelaide and I'm on Hayley's side. To what I'm saying, it's a girlie's. It's a girlie's, okay? What time zone is the gooch of Australia on?

You know, the underside of it. And thank you so much for saying that. The gooch of Australia, as I am called. Um... LAUGHTER The Gouch of Australia, as I am called. Um... LAUGHTER That's going to be the tagline of your next post. Michelle Brazier, The Gouch of Australia. Now, so your show opens tonight at the Winter Gardens,

at the Civic Theatre, which is a beautiful theatre. So stunning. Downstairs, absolutely beautiful. 9.30 tonight and 6.30 tomorrow. The show is about you getting scammed on Facebook Marketplace. Yes. Which honestly, most of us have experienced before

in some way. We were just talking about selling clothes online and how much of a pain it is. Oh, I always make a bag to sell and I always just take it to the charity shop and say, you deal with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, here you go.

I want nothing from this. Yeah, I can't deal with that. I can't be what, putting it on, taking a picture. Grow up. Yeah, yeah. Grow up. This is what we were saying when people miss it. Measuring the sleeves.

Oh gosh, too hard. What's the armpit to armpit of your hoodie? I know, I'm like, I'm furious with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope you fall down. Yeah, I'll pay you to let me alone now. Just stop, it's gotta stop. It wasn't clothing you were scammed out of.

No, it was a Pilates reformer. It serves me right, honestly. What is that? Who do I think I was? Torture rack. Wooden machine thing. It's a torture rack, yeah. I love it.

I love a Pilates reformer. But listen, it was the lockdown. So I was trying to get fit. I was trying to be a fit girl. We all try to reinvent ourselves. Yeah, I thought I could be anyone. And turns out I can't. I reinvented myself into an alcoholic.

I did the same reinvention. I found that a lot easier. That was so cheesy. And less scammers, that was the safer bet for me. That, the wine and the whiskey. I ended up joining, yeah anyway, so yeah I got scammed by this guy and instead of calling the cops I just sort of became his counselor and then eventually his emergency contact. What? Yeah, it's an unlikely friendship story,

like when you see a photo of like a duck on a bear and you're like, wow. I knew the duck or the bear in this situation. I reckon I'm the bear, but you'd think I was the duck. Yeah, that's the twist. That's feminism. Are you still in contact with this guy now? Oh, no spoilers.

It is a little bit of a spoiler, but I also, yeah, I am. What a wild story. Yeah, there's a lot of twists, there's a lot of turns. I found a lot of his other victims online as well. Far out. Oh my god, this feels like a podcast. Yeah, well, I was telling the story live on Triple J, which is one of our radio stations. I would go on and just give them an update

as to what was going on. And yeah, people were quite enthralled by the whole thing. Immediately hooked. Yeah, it was fun. And the thing I love about this, cause it's not just, I was gonna say not just a comedian, but you also, you sing, you perform.

You've got Tim Langkester. Yes, yes, yes. Who plays music alongside you. Yeah, he also plays my scammer in the show. Fantastic. And he's my partner. So he hates. Wait, so you and Tim... We're a couple, yeah, and we work together.

How's that? Well, we've done it forever. We met doing... This is the campest meeting story ever. We met doing Legally Blonde the musical. I was playing Elle Woods and he was playing Warner Huntington III. Oh, my God. And yeah, so we've been working together the whole was playing Warner Huntington III. Oh my gosh. And yeah, so we've been working together the whole time.

Oh my god. Musical theatre love. Oh, it's very camp. It's very camp. I found Miserable the other night so I drank some Korean wine and just watched Les Miserables for eight hours on our thousand point hours. Oh, that's a good thing to do. The 10th anniversary concert was, yeah, it was the best. It wasn't wine, it was soju. It was like a spirit. I drank it like wine. Yeah, you drink it was soju. It was like a spirit. I drank it like wine. I drank it like wine.

I drank it like wine. Yeah, you drink it like a wine. That's respectful. Yeah. That's how the Korean people would have wanted it. That's what they would have wanted. They would have said, drink this like a wine and watch Les Miserables. Yeah.

Well, honestly, I'm so hooked on the idea of the show. Have you performed in New Zealand before? I, okay, so a hundred years ago, I came over for the Comedy Festival and I did one showing of my first ever solo show, Space Tortoise. Which is about a tortoise who wants to go to space to show her lost cosmonaut father how tall she's gotten.

Obviously, the proof is in the pudding. But yeah, I've been here once before, but not really. Well, we are very delighted to have you here, Michelle. And you can get tickets, Aucklandlive.co.nz to see you tonight or tomorrow, Auckland only. And then hopefully you come back. Hopefully I come back. It depends on how you guys act tonight and tomorrow.

Is this an audition? I'm auditioning you. Yeah, it is. Can we just have a quick, if you're not listening, how do we think she went? Really well. I think vibes, energy wise, the idea of the show.

Do we need me to dance, or I can stick around and dance if you need. Yeah, but we could just do that off air as a private thing just for us. I'll do it as a private dancer. Michelle Brazier, reform your shows on Auckland Life for Tickets. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you.

Play ZM's, Flash Born and Hayley. We're just talking again, just to reiterate, if you want tickets to Michelle's show, AucklandLive.co.nz. So funny. Reform, so funny, and honestly, we're just talking about how we just want to know the end of that story.

Yeah, I was absolutely hopped into that. Yeah. So good. We are now gonna talk about what you miss about your ex that's not them. It's not allowed to be them. It's not allowed to be them. Cause Brittany Spears has come out and said,

two of my exes, I love their dogs more than I love them. And that was the thing that made the relationship last as long. She's not talking about Sam Iscariot, is she? I don't know. I data conclude two F incomplete A holes. She wrote in a lengthy post that she later deleted. You know what, like she's shed all these people controlling

her and the, what were those things? Conservatorship. Yeah, and she's not doing any better, is she? She doesn't look like she's doing great. You're pro conservatorship. But maybe inside her soul, she is. And from the outside, we're saying she looks insane. But inside she's hippie.

Yeah. We're dancing with knives. Okay but inside she's happy. Yeah. We're dancing with knives. Okay, if we're gonna take calls on this, 0800 DALZATM9696 texted, it's not allowed to be something you miss about your ex. It's gotta be anything else. We asked on the gram. Great.

Okay, some examples. Evelyn said, that son of a bitch made a mean lasagna. Oh! Oh, they're cooking? They're cooking. Totally, totally. Someone said his eggplant, but that's him. Oh, that's him?

Yeah. No, no. You can find it, yeah, because it's attached to him. But there are eggplants in the fields. Lasagna has no physical attachment to the eggs. No, you're dead right. Okay. What about if they had like,

if you drive like a little two-door, you know, sort of Swift or something and he had a big truck. I'd like a Ranger. And you're a trade me gal. He's a Ranger guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, man, I need that big car. Ranger danger.

Megan said his dog, sad face. Yeah. His Just Eat discount codes, says Ellie. What do you mean, Just Eat discount? Just Eat discount codes, Ellie. Just Eat. Doesn't need some further information on that one. I was trying some discount codes yesterday.

I tried a welcome 10. I tried a order just 10 off. Nothing worked. Just eat, previously menu log. Oh, right, okay. So that's what they were saying. So he had what? Became so reliant on it that he was getting discount codes.

What? Great text. You know, we'll save it. Are you gonna save it? Okay, well these are great examples. Oh my god, the same text has come in again. I would miss that too. 0800 Dalsadem, give us a call now, text through.

9696, what did you miss about your ex that wasn't them? Talking about those things that you miss about your ex that isn't them. Britney Spears said she misses two of her ex's dogs more than she would ever miss them. Yeah, but that's it. That would be hard though, eh, if your partner had a pet that you kind of came into the relationship and formed this thing and then off they went. You'd be like, my doggy. Especially if it liked you better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which they often would. I'm an animal person.

Well, message is in. Ah, somebody said, I miss the male energy and company. Nothing to do with him at all. Somehow I miss the men I never met. Nothing to do with him at all. Somehow I miss the man I never met on Tinder, even more than him. Okay. You don't need no man. Ava, what do you miss about the exit not,

that isn't the X? I miss his KitchenAid can opener. Oh my God, I've seen these. KitchenAid can opener, let me have a juggle. Okay, what's special about- Electronic. Is it electronic? It's just, no, it was just like a normal one,

but it was so good, you know, when you invest in a can opener. Oh yeah. And it's just like amazing, cause he had a Mitre 10 discount, so I got like everything cheap. Mitre 10 discount, aye. Okay, so you missed the Mitre 10 discount and the-

And the can opener. And the can opener. Brisco's have got the KitchenAid Soft Touch can opener in black for $24.99. 4.7 out of 5 on the review stars there. Is that only special though? Because I'd wait until it's on sale. I think it is. Because there's one up in the top bit. Ava, I feel like you deserve this. I don't. Maybe I should find another man that works at my attention. No no no. Ava, why don't you just buy one from Brisco's? I say we buy her one.

Can we buy, can we give, um, this is awful, the car one's gonna be like, what are you doing? Can we give her $25 please to buy this can opener? Carwin, can we just afford $29.99 just like that? $24.99. Wait, I've got $49.99 on the Brisco's. Oh well now you're a... We definitely can't afford $49.99.

You're a sucker fool, look, I've got this one. $ 49. No, no, no, we're gonna give it 25 bucks Cuz it's it's half price at the moment. Can we just see the can opener? Is it that one?

You don't need no man. You don't need no man. You got it for a might of 10, it might be cheaper at might of 10. Yeah, have a look. Oh, quick, Ross has just walked in. Thanks, partner. Ross boss has just walked in.

Oh, he's not happy. Ava, take the money. Hide the credit card, hide the credit card. Ava, take the money and run. Okay, wait there, Ava. We'll sort out your can opener. Ruby, good morning. Good morning.

Now this isn't a theme Ruby, we're not giving everyone everything they miss. We just got carried away with Ava. No that's okay. What do you miss about your ex that isn't your ex? I miss his Spotify premiums. Oh! Yeah, I was on his family plan. Oh babes.

Yeah, and we broke up like six years ago, but I only got kicked off last year. Well you've had your time. Okay, you got five free years of Spotify premium. That's pretty good Ruby. You've had your time babes. Yeah, but it'll still be nice. It's in a jumble isn't it? When you go back to ads.

Quite a bit a month. It adds up. And you can't select the song, you just have to like select the album. Is that right? I can't remember what it was. But with the way My Economy is going, song, you just have to like select the album. Is that right? I can't remember what it was. But the way My Economy's going, I'm probably gonna have to cancel that, like my YouTube premium at some stage pretty soon.

Times are tough. Thank you, Ruby. Keppy Tech's coming in 9696. Oh. 0800 Dalsit M. It's just a personal one here. I'm missing someone to watch Avatar The Last Airbender with. That's me, I'll come and watch it,

because I wanna re-watch that series. You can't invite yourself into people's homes like that, you're a man. Sorry, we don't do that, that's creepy. I love that series. We're talking about what you miss about your ex that's not your ex. Maybe their helicopter.

Maybe they had things. Or their Kitchen Aid can opener. Yeah, which we've sorted. We've sorted that. We've sorted that, yeah. Not the helicopter. So to say we wasted our money, we should have gone for the OXO can opener.

No, but she knows what she knows. Yeah, and she knows what she likes. Yeah. OXO can opener. No, but she knows what she knows. Yeah, and she knows what she likes. Yeah. OXO can opener. I've never heard of them. OXO cubes. OXO cubes, I was gonna say, don't they specialise in? Beef stock. Oh yeah, that's nice. Oh no, this is the other brand that briskos have that's bougie as well.

Yeah, that's nice. Oh, they look lovely. Yeah, that looks very rounded. That's $65 for a can opener. No, no, no, we were only showing them. Are you effing kidding me? I've just got a real plain can opener. I didn't know that I could have a for a can opener. No, no, no, we were only showing them. Are you effing kidding me? I've just got a real plain can opener. I didn't know that I could have a bougie can opener. Zip.

You know, that cheap warehouse brand or something. Also, I use a can opener like once a year. They've got pull tabs. Everything's pull now. Though when it comes off, man, that's boozy Dave. You can't find your can opener. So you've got to have one. That's right, yeah.

You've got to have one. You've got to stab it with a big knife. You're simply masked. We're lucky you've got 10 fingers. Here we go, we're gonna go through the rest of the list. The rooftop tent, it was easy and convenient when staying away. Oh, yep.

Has mum made the greatest caramel slice I've ever tasted? Oh, yum. I miss that caramel slice. Wonder if you could circumvent him, your ex, and just go ask mum. Hygen. Hygen. Jeanette, Jeanette, can we just get one of those? Yeah, yeah, yeah. G'day Paula, can I have one of your Afghans please?

Is that Betty? Just calling up about your Afghan biscuits. I don't want to talk to Timmy, your son. Patsey, add us with that meatloaf recipe, babes. Oh yeah, you gots to. I miss that my ex would cook and clean for me but I cannot stand him. My current partner doesn't do either and is super lazy so I often reminisce on the luxuries of having someone cook and clean. Sounds familiar, you could get an ex on that one as well.

Yeah. Get an ex on the front of that one. Find you a man that can do it all, they're out there. His family, especially his grandmother, has been 20 years and Non and I still talk on Facebook message. I wish I could go around for dinner like the old days. Oh, you can, just pop over. Non. To Nonny's. I still talk on Facebook messenger, wish I could go around for dinner like the old days. Oh, you can, just pop over. Oh, none. None.

To nonies. When we broke up, I wanted our dog. He agreed on the condition that he got to keep the furniture. Three friends, I know half the furniture ended up at the tip. He still talks about the dog. Mwah, I woulda lose it. Okay.

Jeez. My last two exes before my current beautiful wife came along were from serious old English money. Oh, yum. Although they had a manor. Oh, yes, an estate. Mansions he describes them as. Both lived in huge houses, indoor pools,

massive estates and yachts at the seaside. Indoor pools? Must be nice. Must be nice. We call them a bath. Yeah, I've got an indoor pool. I don't even have an indoor pool. Yeah, I think if you can do laps in it, it's not a bath.

You can do laps in it, you just have to be careful because the water goes over the edge and then mum comes in and smacks you for swilling water everywhere. What do I miss about my ex? Maybe the fact she spent all my money on meth and the new doodle she was touching. Okay, I think they've got the wrong-

I thought she meant new doodle as in like a dog. Labradoodle. Right, right, yeah. I miss his income, I miss his power tools. I dated a farmer so I never paid for lamb and beef. Really miss that. Oh my god, that'd be a, that's a big blow. Yeah.

Imagine all the mints, unlimited free mints. Mints. All the mints. I'm just here for the mints. That's how they should advertise for farmer once a wife. Do you want unlimited free mints? Get yourself a farmer. You have to live in the middle of nowhere and wear a hat.

And get up at 3 AM. Of course you've got to wear a hat. Or a funny big hat. Yeah, they always wear funny big hats. I miss my ex's six bedroom waterfront beach house in the Coromandel. Oh. I would say you almost should have stayed.

You know, no matter how unhappy you were. It's worth the misery. Sometimes you're miserable, but you're in the Coromandel. His younger cousin that lived with him, when she was like a little kid, she was so cute, we were like best friends. Oh.

I miss her so much more than I miss him. His parents were rich and bought me great Christmas presents, I miss that. I miss my ex's millionaire parents always paying off our credit cards. Guys, my ex's parents used to own a vineyard. The regular wine tastings at the weekend of bougie wines from around the world were great. I was the only one that didn't spit out the wines! Aren't you meant to? Nah.

Says who? I liked the ninth one. The most for me was to taste this wine. Play ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Now, what I'm about to ask you, I feel could be a new segment. Okay.

Called Is This Yuck? Where you ring up and you're like, hey I've been kind of had aspersions cast that I might be a bit yuck. Right, okay. If you're having to even ask the question though, Gordon, you'd imagine it's a bit manky. It's a bit yuck.

Let me take you back, hold on, chat your BT worked it out for me. 111 days ago, it was the Helensville Agricultural and Pastoral Show. The AMP show. At the AMP show, yes. February 22nd, the Saturday of February 22nd, and I went along and it was a great day,

and me and the girls, we walked around and then we came across this man, and he was selling the most amazing looking cookies. Oh, they were the same. Okay. So it was a deal, you get a box of them, and there's like six cookies in there. Okay.

And we were like, yes, and we ate one and then we split one and then we got home and we split another one. So of the six, three were eaten. Yep. They were in a box. The box got put on the bench in the pantry and then some other stuff went on top of it.

Now the other day, Indy said, oh my God, I just found the cookies from the Helensville show. Oh no. And I opened the box, I was like, they look good. There's no more. I inspected them for any sort of mold or anything. Oh no. And I was like, I'm going to eat one. Mostly because it was one of those things you can tell your kids are like, ah dad, no. And then you go, ah, and they're like, ah, for laughs. Maybe a microwave to get rid of any germs. So the first bite not microwaved. Yep. And then over the last three nights,

I've eaten the rest of the three cookies. Now is this yuck? Yes. Because they tasted great. There was no mold, there was no nothing. They didn't taste stale. No, they tasted amazing. Because I microwaved the second and third one.

Oh yeah, okay, yum. And it softened it all back up again. But they've just been sitting unsealed in a cardboard box for 110 days. How was he about to air that could get into this cardboard box? Yeah, it was one of those cardboard boxes, you know, when you get like a thing of like donuts or just one of those easy to fold... Oh no! Loose!

Loose! Loose box! They've been sitting in a loose box for, you know, over 100 days. Oh no, we can't be mucking with a loose box. And they ate them and they were yum-ass. I think that if this new segment is called, is it yuck? Yeah, is this yuck? I think people need to text in and then we kind of take a barometer,

kind of a pulse, you know, a poll result. It's like people who try to marinate their off chicken and soy sauce to try to mask the greenness and the offness. No, if the chicken's gone green, you don't tango with that. So I want people to text in just quickly now, yuck or not yuck. Based on this. Would you eat a three, a hundred,

over three and a, Over three months. Yeah. Over three months. Nearly three and a half months of cookies. And a loose, reiterate, a loose box. Yeah. No ants?

No ants. I thought you had ants. In summer we have ants. Yuck. But no ants. Y I thought you had ants and summer we have ants yuck, but no ants Yeah, no sign of ants the chocolate wasn't the chocolate wasn't whitening. Oh, yeah I've definitely eaten white chocolate from the glove box before yuck. Yuck I've eaten white chocolate, but it was dark and I didn't know it was white. It's fine-born. Yeah I'm gonna take on dark yet the movies and then I was like this tastes weird and The white chocolate had gone dark. Yeah, the movies. And then I was like, this tastes weird. And the white chocolate had gone dark. Yeah, no, the chocolate had gone dark.

It was a white rather. It was dark chocolate. Oh, right, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I'd say we're leaning more towards yuck on the text machine. Somebody said give a little test nibble and play on. That's what I did. I gave a little test nibble, the first one, just to freak the girls out.

And then I was like, girls, actually, you know what, this doesn't taste too bad. Do you want to bite? Right. I love how frank people are being. Some people are saying more, but it's just going, yuck, yuck, not yuck.

Well, that's all we need. That's all we need, I love that. We don't need any explanation, no. It's fine, Vaughan, yum. Somebody said too many preservatives. I don't know, this guy wasn't rocking. He didn't rock a preservative vibe because he was a little market guy.

That was my first thought is, if it was a commercially produced cookie, it would have preservatives maybe in it. Fine, fine. Yeah, we could preserve, it's fine. But these would have had butter in them, right? But then when butter cooks, it doesn't. Man, I've eaten them three nights in a row.

That's yuck. I don't have a queasy tongue. If the question is, is this yuck? I think we can confirm that this is yuck. Someone messaged saying, why is chocolate going white yuck? I think it makes it taste better. Ew, no, that means it's off.

That's yuck. No, it doesn't mean it's off. It just needs a rinse under the hot tap. Yucky. White chocolate is all good, but if you don't like the white one, I'll just give it a quick rinse under the hot tap. Yuck.

No mold, no yuck. That's what somebody said. I couldn't agree more. There was no signs of souring. I mean, it is wasteful just to throw three delicious cookies away. I'm anti-waste. I know it's anti-waste, but to what point?

Where do we draw the line? Three months, four months? Well, so who just buys six cookies and then puts three away and forgets about them? Totally forgot. Well, they were in the box and then someone got put on top of the box. Yeah, right.

Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Nope, we got. Okay. If we had to have a percentage of yuck to not yuck. Biscuit scientist here. We have a biscuit scientist. Oh, I'm sorry. No, they're not. I'm sorry. Name your title.

Give us proof of the title. Can we try to call the biscuit scientists, please? Shannon's going to try and call them. Yes, please. I don't think they're right. I mean, at least they've got a food technology. That's all I, that's, that's, that makes sense. If you have a food technology degree,

you can't be texting and saying you're a biscuit scientist. Yeah, maybe they specialize in biscuits. I'm sorry, sandwich artists. You know, that's on par with sandwich artists. You're talking about a half a day training versus someone who went to university and Palmerston North and suffered through Palmerston North for years to become a food.

I would let somebody who did food, what do they call it, food science? I'd let them call themselves a biscuit scientist. White on chocolate is called bloom and it's the sugar sweating into the chocolate and it's not harmful. See, that's what I'm saying. Hot tap rinse and you'll be right as rain.

Good morning Shelly, you are calling yourself a biscuit scientist. Yes, that's me. What does that mean? What are your qualifications? So I work at Griffin. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. Shelly, you're a biscuit scientist. Sorry.

Yeah, I do. I'm a pretty cool job title. Yeah, I do. Wow, okay. I'm a pretty cool job title. Do you oversee the ginger nut production? I work in a team that designs all the new cookies. Oh my god! You're the coolest person we've ever met. We should do a cookie collab.

We're all about collab. We totally should. We totally should, Shailene. Have we done Caller of the Week? No. I think we're just because she's so cool. Can we just caller of the Week? She's a biscuit scientist.

No, don't you just, Shelly, she's just trying to get free biscuits out of you. I'm trying to get biscuits. She's trying to get free biscuits. Shut your dumb mouth, Fletch. Do you want biscuits or not? Well, I mean, you'd probably get the final ruling on, is this yuck, as you're the biscuit scientist.

Yes, now bear in mind that these weren't like a commercially made biscuit. They were like made in, I'm guessing someone's oven at home. Yeah, and he takes a gazebo to a market and pops it up and sells these delicious biscuits. Would you be eating this three month old biscuit? Yeah, 100% I would. As long as it's been baked properly, that's your kill step. So it should be fine. But after a while...

This is like a CIA operation, not a biscuit. Wow, you just made biscuits really dangerous and sexy. They're like a thriller movie. Biscuit's sexy. So that's what kills the, what, the bad stuff. Yeah, yeah. If it's, yeah, they usually call it a low water activity. Sorry for the science. No, no, don't be sorry for science. Oh my God, this is sexy.

Science is sexy. I can't believe I doubted you as a Biccy scientist. I really apologise. No, I'm really hand in hand. Would you be happy henceforth to be known as the show's Biscuit scientist and we would contact you for all things biscuit? 100%.

I mean, I know this is the first time in our 20 something year career when we've needed a biscuit scientist. You never know. You just don't know what's around the corner. It's best to be prepared. You never know, it's good to have a Bickey scientist on hand. We did get to see a biscuit conveyer belt once

and it was incredible. In here? Do you remember that? Yeah, was that? Is that when you guys came and saw the Choc-Fins? Yeah, yes. You guys did the Choc-Fins, eh? Yeah, is that when we-

Did you do Jaffa-Fins? Yeah. We do Jaffa-Fins, yeah. Yeah, it's a good stuff. They're the best. Dude, this factory, it was like, Charlie and the Choc-Fins factory. My mum, Bev, has just texted in a question

while we've got you on the line, Shelly. If anyone has any science-based biscuit questions, shoot them in now. Any biscuit questions, shoot them in now because we've got a biscuit scientist on the line, Shelly. If anyone has any science-based biscuit questions, shoot them in now. Any biscuit questions, shoot them in now because we've got a biscuit scientist on the line. Mum wants enough. Broken biscuits have zero calories. Hmm.

Uh, yeah, definitely. Definitely confirmed, Bev. Yeah, that's good. Yes, Bev, they don't count. And it's Friday. Biscuits don't count on Friday either. Or public holidays. Or public holidays, yeah.

It's like Christmas and Easter, right? That's right. Exactly. Somebody was at our Jesus. If there was a funeral for the cookie bear when he was taken off the chocolate chip packets. We did discuss if we needed to livestream that. Yeah, I'm sure.

Was it a sad day in the factory, Shelly? It was a very sad day. Yeah, and a big hole too. Huge hole. Huge hole. Well, and left a huge hole in our heart, didn't it? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Any quick questions there on the text machine?

No, somebody, my mum found our two year old special cookies and she ate them and mum was stoned for the whole weekend. Oh no. We're not talking about special cookies. No, we're not talking about special. I've got such a good story about some special cookies. And I feel like the statute of limitations has passed, I could almost tell you about the time

that a well-known New Zealand sportswoman almost put me in the grave. Remember that? Oh, careful trend lightly. Maybe I don't know if that has expired, that statute of limitations. Put me in the grave! Shelley Bickey Scientist, FEH Bickey Scientist. What's your favourite Bickey? Great question.

Good question. Um, Tiffany Malapas. Oh, interesting. It's a classic. It's a classic. It's a classic. It's two thirds of a s'more ready to go, isn't it? It really is, yeah.

Or sometimes I come out there, I'll just make my own versions of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a lab, don't you? I'm imagining you've got a lab. I think to welcome you as our bookie scientist, we're going to make you quarter of the week. Yeah, quarter of the week. Congratulations, thank you there. We've got for you a Chemist's Warehouse prize back. Thanks to Chemist's Warehouse, home of the biggest brands at the lowest prices.

Thank you, Shelley Biscuit. Final question for the air cookie scientists. In the realm specifically of biscuits, somebody wants to know what's the science on the five second rule? Wait, do open cookies go in the fridge or the cupboard in your opinion? Cupboard. Cupboard.

Cupboard, yeah. Cupboard in the jar. But if you open them they work really well in the fridge but you might just get that white bloom on top. The bloom. Yeah, since she called it the bloom like the other color. The bloom, the bloom. Because I love a biscuit in a freezer. I love a chocolate biscuit in the freezer. It's a snap, a bit more snap. Yeah, it's a good start. Last week as a treat, we got two biscuits and did a scoop of ice cream in the middle

and made our own ice cream sandwiches. What biscuits did you choose? Well, it's not one made by our biscuit scientists. Well, then we should speak not of it. We should speak not of it. Hey, Shelley, are you guys quaking in your boots about those Pam's chocolate chip biscuits? Oh, no, no, we've got some good ones out on the shelf.

Yeah, I'm just saying those Pam's exquisite chocolate chip biscuits. She's not even shaking in her boots. Fine, those Pam's fine biscuits. on the shelf. Yeah, I'm just saying those PAMs, exquisite. Look at those chocolate chappers. She's not even shaking in her boots. Like the All Blacks, not even worried about Canada. Yeah, you don't even look. I don't even know what rugby is in Canada. Yeah, worry about your own game. Yeah, yeah we do.

Exactly. Thank you so much, Shelley. That was great. Loved the biscuit chat. We'll send you some back here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch is trying to tell me how to have a period. I don't know, aren't they the ones, the pills you can take and it doesn't make it happen?

Oh yeah, that's being on the pill. Yeah, okay. Anyway, let's talk about this. I don't know how it works. Cause you know on contraception week, fact of the day is next by the way, but you know on contraception week, the sugar pill was an invention by the Catholic Church.

Was that? Yep. If women were gonna have contraception, they had to have seven days. That's why it's seven days. But it's also very good for you because if you don't shed your uterus lining, you increase your risk of things like uterine cancer.

So you would as good to do anyway. You're gonna shed that. Yeah, la la la. I'm saying this because I'm feeling irritable, which means tick tock, tick tock, till she arrives. Anyway, let's talk about Esti Perrell very quickly because she is an incredible relationship therapist. I've listened to her podcast, Where Should We Begin,

which is brought, it is microphones in a therapy session with real life couples. I was about to say, is this the one where she records, with permission. With permission, they're on board and she is amazing, you know, and Fletch, you know, when he says this to you, like why, why did you make, why did you react like this? I love listening to her speak. She's got such a like, why? Why did you make, why did you react like this? I love listening to her speak.

She's got such a like, yeah. But is she French or Russian? Russian or something? Yeah, but she lives in America now, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very famous, she's had two books, Mating in Captivity and The State of Affairs about monogamy in the modern world.

Incredible reads. And- Is she for monogamy or? She's like, Mating mating in captivity is basically a book about how expecting everything from one person is impossible, which is why sex often leaves a relationship because you're in captivity with this person. Oh, that when you put it like that. Yeah, it's such an interesting read.

Anyway, she's also about to do diary of a CEO. Fantastic person if you're in a relationship. She has officially partnered with Hinge, the dating app, which is sometimes when you're making your profile on these apps, rather than you just having to come up with a bio, they often give you prompts. I think Tinder does this as well, which is like something you don't know about me or something interesting about me. She's done it for Hinge and she's come up with the 10 prompts that they're gonna use on their profiles

to help create a better sort of starting point. Oh yeah, okay. Here they are, they're so good. One, in my friend group, I'm the one who... Dot, dot, dot. In my friend group, I'm the one who books all the travel plans and organises it. I do that, that's me, that's me.

What's Vaughan, what's Vaughan? You say it, I'll do it. In my friend group, I'm the one who... Orders for everybody when we're out for dinner. Daddy's ordering. Yes, and I love it. We had to do that the other day without you. Yeah, in my friend group, I'm the one who

plans the drinks and makes the drinks and encourages the drinks. And tomorrow roasting the pumpkin for our mid-winter Christmas dinner. Her second prompt, something my pet thinks about me. She's late, she's sleeping in, I'm hungry. The kindest thing someone has ever done for me. God.

Lots of things. An award my family would give me is her fourth prompt. Mine would be like... Never home at Christmas, but there are a few weeks before. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it makes us all get it earlier to fit in with his holidays. Popsin, Popsin. I mean, he does get four weeks off

and that's, you know, you can't just come back for Christmas. So the Fletcher's award you the Popsin award. Yep, the Popsin. Mine would be Vibebringer, sunshine, ray of sunshine. Five, you'd never know, but I, dot, dot, dot, have one kidney, for example. If I was on a dating app, you'd be like, interesting chick.

I'd be like, well, no, I don't want one if she's only got one kidney. She might cuck up. What if that goes, and I'm just gonna be like, You're on the hook. Yeah, you're on the hook for a kidney. You know, all those hours in hospital. Her sixth prompt, I'm in my element when...

I'm being watched and looked at and laughed at and applauded and praised. And they'll be like swipe left, get rid of her. She says like a lot. She's too much. Her seventh prompt, before we meet, you should listen to... The whole of Night of the Opera by Quain. The whole of A Night of the Opera by Quaim. Eighth prompt, I could stay up all night talking about... Dot dot dot. Star Wars.

Pretty Roman times. Yeah, war. We could do a war too. We could definitely do a war too. Maybe we just start Banner Brothers, you know? Yeah, Banner Brothers. Ninth prompt, it's not a vacation unless, dot dot dot. For me, it's warm.

Tenth, and her final prompt that she's done for Hinge, where I go when I wanna feel a little more like myself. On a stage in front of a thousand people. Okay, and this is from like an absolute relationship expert. Like, therapist. Maybe one of the best in the world. Yeah. So they're really good, look them up.

Play ZM's Flash best in the world. Yeah. So they're really good. Look them up. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Fact of the Day Day Day Day Day we would cover Ferrero Rocher. What a classic. Are you never mad when someone hands you a Ferrero Rocher? Dude, always stoked. The little tray? The Christmas ones that are piled up like a pyramid. Oh yeah, like a tree.

You take the top off and then... Hazelnut, eh? Yep, and then before you know it, you've eaten, you know. The whole tree? The whole tree. Yeah, Ferrero Rocher. What's that joke? Oh no, that's not appropriate, is it? The difference between-

Oh yeah, no, that's a- Zara Roche and David Beckham. Oh yeah, no, we can't, so I- Oh, go off, go off, I need to hear it. Yeah, what is David Beckham and Zara Roche got in common? No, I can't believe I said that. I started saying that. You know, it's a naughty joke.

Put mute, everyone, and I need to hear it, please, because I don't know this joke. Oh. That's why. That is a... Yeah, no, that's unacceptable. Have some respect, okay? She was a Spice Girl. Oh, hey.

Invented in 1982, much more recent. Same age as me, what a year. Me and Frasier. Old. 1982 by Italian chocolat, Michel Frero. Who also created Nutella by the way. Did he? Loves working with hazelnuts.

What a hazelnut freak. Loves decimating the world's hazelnut. Resources. Resources, yeah. Rocher means rock in French. Oh. What gender would that be, Hayley? You spoke some French. Oh, like a chocolate rock. What gender would that be Hayley? You spoke some French.

Say what? Rocher means rock in French. What? Rocher? Would it be le or la? I don't know. This is the crazy thing about some of these beautiful languages that everything's got a gender. Yeah.

Like rocks and tables and... Dunno. So that reference is both the shape and the texture of the chocolate. Sold in over 150 countries. Do you know a door is feminine but a table is masculine? Le table. Le table. La porte. It's kind of crazy to me. So Ferrero, their parent company, also owns Tic Tac, Nutella and Kinder. Oh okay, did you know that? Did you also know that they're super secretive about their manufacturing process? Only a handful of people know the full production method

and people who work in the factory are not allowed to take their phones into work. Really? High security, they say these factories are of the highest security across Europe to stop industrial espionage. Wow, okay. 3.6 billion Ferrero Rochers are sold every year.

That's 10 million Ferrero Rochers a day. The reason you might be wondering why they're in a gold foil and a paper cup, it was to mimic luxury pastry presentations. And each Ferrero Rocher is weighed precisely. So next time you get a big thing of Ferrero Rochers, weigh them all and they'll all be within a gram of each other. Really? Wow.

I've got other things to do. I'm gonna be honest, I'm a busy gal. I'm not weighing my Ferrero Rochers. Going back to the supermarket. Excuse me, this one's two grams smaller than the other one. I will go straight to Italy. And also the fun fact, cause you know, we've been saying if you sold them all

and put them side to side, how far around the world they'd go. If the Ferrero Rocher sold annually was stacked into a single tower, it would be a 300,000 kilometer high tower almost to the moon. 300,000 kilometers. 300,000 kilometers. Of Ferrero Rochers.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We thought we would give you a head of this weekend and a head of a long weekend next weekend

a little update on what we're watching. Because you know the girlies, we're love islanding, but we can put that to the side for now. Yeah, have you even started building up a few weeks? I'm building up, I'm stocking up. Do you know what I mean? You've got a really long flight coming up in a few weeks. Do you think you'll just love Ireland for 17 hours? Can you download from TVNZ Plus?

I don't know. No, I don't know. I don't know. Have you ever done that thing where you download a whole bunch of shows like Netflix have done it and then you get to another country, it's like, we don't have this show here and then it's all gone.

Oh really? No, I've never had that. And then you're just like, but now we're gonna make a new work. What if you just for the next 17 hours screen record? Oh my god. Be with my phone at the laptop. Yeah, pay Shannon a stupid idea.

Yeah, and then you've got it. I have a free hack for you. Yeah, great. I wanted to talk about something that I've started watching. I was on Apple TV, just on that app, and I, what was I, delaying, it was something I was like started watching. I was on Apple TV, just on that app, and I, what was I delaying? It was something I was like putting off.

I haven't finished Severance. I'm not in the head space. I got scared of Severance season two. I watched the recap and I was like, I don't remember any of this. Yeah, I'm gonna, I've gotta watch all of season one again and then do season two. I think that could be my plane.

I'll do one and two. Big bite though. Big bite. That one you gotta concentrate. You gotta be in the right mental head space. But a plane's good because you can't be on your phone I'll do one and two. Big bite though. Big bite. Big bite, you gotta concentrate. You gotta be in the right mental head space. But a plane's good because you can't be on your phone. And you can't move. Yeah.

So I was on Apple and I saw your friends and neighbours and the reason I was attracted to it is because John Hamm is the lead and I'm attracted to John Hamm and thus I'm attracted to the work he's doing. I think everybody's attracted to John Hamm. Plus he's funny and he's kind and he's nice. He was in Landman, wasn't he? He was. He was in that. He's great in everything he does. He's the lead of a show called Your Friends and Neighbours. It was made this year, a brand new show.

And it's just finished, all the EPS, right? Yep, all the EPS are out. I think it's nine episodes and it follows him. He works in investment or like high high rolling kind of stock guy, who loses his job and turns to a life of crime. That's all I'll say about it. Oh wow, okay. Really interesting, he's like mid divorce, and it's like. And it's all about keeping up appearances, eh? Like you're living with your neighbors,

and in a posh area. So he's lost all of his money, he lives in this little flat he's renting, but he will not sell his Maserati, because he has to keep up with the appearances that he's doing well. Loving it. It's the thing, I'm like, look forward to going home and watching an app, you know? That's on Apple TV, your friends and neighbours.

On Disney+, I want to give a quick mention for the new Predator movie, Predator Killer of Killers, which is animated, but I love Predator. I don't think I've watched one since the first one. Yeah. Animated. Great. Nah, it's a cool animation style. The new movie is. Oh, no, no. It's three different stories.

The sword, the shield, and the bullet. One person's gonna download this after they've seen that recommendation. It rules. It rules. It's really good. Does it? Yeah, it was a really, really good watch. Really good animated fight scene. So that's just for the animated people amongst us.

I will say on Disney Plus, I've started the new series that came from FX called Adults. Yeah. It's about a bunch of 20 somethings living in New York and it's really good. It's like the first episode. What, like girls? Yeah, but it's a mixed group of-

It's got big girls vibes. Some of the lines in it are so, when they consider forcing their boss to sexually harass them to get a profile, I was just like... Oh my god, fantastic. Wow. It's like taking a really interesting look at the modern world and like... I love that. It's just very, very well done.

Now of course we have to ask producer Shannon who loves nothing more than like, she's one of the most like bubbly, smiley, happy girls I know, but you love watching the darker stuff. We know her obsession with Osama Bin Laden. Yeah, I actually did already rewatch that. Yeah, I've already rewatched. I couldn't even get through it. Two big docos came out this week. One about Travis Scott's concert, Astroworld, where 10 people sadly passed away. Oh wow. It was insane, all the transcripts from behind the stage.

But the one that released yesterday that I watched already is Titan, the Ocean Gate scandal. So it was only 2023. Oh the submarine that exploded on the way to the top. And it was controlled by an Xbox controller. Yes, so they've got all of the ex staff, all of the staff who built the sub saying all the places that went wrong. You've got family members of those who passed.

Oh my gosh. You've got everyone involved saying all the reasons it happened and all the footage of it. Cause he, the CEO Stockton loved himself. They just put a little like chill down my spine though. That's why I can't do these like dark documentaries at the moment, it just feels a bit miserable. Look at you, she's feasting on her.

Oh my goodness, I was watching Woodstock 99 this week. Oh, it's a great documentary for someone who was kind of that age at that time looking back and being like, why were we all so angry? Fred Deust just knowing he's eating it up. He's been like, come on. Well, it's looking like a cold weekend for most of the country and quite weird in places as well. Come on, Fletch, what are you watching?

Some bloody police 10, you know, 10 CSI Miami swat change. I've been watching the new season of Hacks, which you've seen. The new season of Hacks is out, been watching that. Yeah, Kawini. And what did I just finish that we were watching? Oh, the studio. Which is amazing. The last episodes of that are just perfection.

Kowini, What's On Your Screenie? Oh, that was good, actually. We should call the segment, Kowini, What's On Your Screenie? Yeah, Hey Kowini, What's On Your Screenie? Well, thank you. Once you get through all of your recommendations, it'll probably be July 9th. No one's watching Vaughan's one.

I was being nice to him. People will watch the Predator movie. They won't. People will watch the Predator movie. Well, it'll be July 9th, and this new Netflix show called Building the Band will come out. Now, hear me out. It's like Love is Blind plus The Voice combined. So they're making a band and they don't see each other?

Yes, there's people in pods and then people performing. You hit the buzzle and go go I want that person in my group But I don't know what you look like and then you get to like a judging panel, which has Liam Payne on it RIP Nicole Scherzinger How's he doing? How's he doing it? It's live. The crazy thing is he just did it a while ago. He must have done it a while ago.

Did they plan to launch it sooner but obviously it passed? I think so yeah. You can imagine the meetings at Netflix. Do you reckon it's time now? Nah, four more months, man. I reckon a few more months. Nicole, pussycat, Nicole. Yeah, and she's just like.

She just won a Tony for best female performance on Broadway, which is huge. I know, did you see? Oh my gosh, she's amazing. So this is gonna be really good, I reckon. It's like all the best of the reality TV together. That tickles me. Yeah, that's good, that's good stuff. That tickles me. Yeah, that's good. That's good stuff.

That tickles me. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll work out the other way. Give us a review.
