comeback. We'll talk about that soon. You've got the top six as well. Apple having to pay out for a lawsuit claiming that Siri has been listening. Because Siri has been listening. Has been though. Has been though. There's been two examples of things that have happened in the last week that I've literally

only spoken out loud about. Same. Same. And so specific as if it would just turn up. They all deny it though. They still deny this happens. No. But it's 1,000% a thing. Yeah.

Well, anyway, Apple's going to have to pay out some money. I've got the top six things Siri heard in your house. Next on the show though, it's bad news if you've got kids. Yeah. And if you're young and living at home,

you may be there a bit longer. Oh, God. Because the average age when kids are moving out. I was 18, out the door. Do I get my kids for longer? Yes. I forget he wants it.

Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Now, this research comes from the UK, but I imagine... Hello. Hello. I imagine it will be the same here. I imagine you're probably right, given the cost of living. Now, the average Brit won't move out of their parents' home for good until the age of...

20. 28. For good. I was going to say for good is longer than that. For good. Now, a lot of them will move out maybe for uni or to study, but a lot of people will end up coming back. They call that re-nesting.

Re-nesting. Re-nesting? So the average age that children move back home is 26 and about a fifth are older than 30. Wow. Does it say for what purpose? Like to save for the home deposit? Yeah, saving for a home deposit is the big one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I didn't, but I would have. You know what I mean? If it was convenient. Well,'t, but I would have. You know what I mean? If you could have. If it was convenient. Well, I could have for a bit. My parents lived about an hour out of town where I lived. Too far. Too far.

Too far. Yeah, my parents didn't live close to where I was living, otherwise totally would have just to save a bit of cash monies. No one does laundry like mum. No one does laundry like mum. No one cooks like mum. Yeah. My only thing would be I had some active years, you know?

What kind of active? Physically. Sporty. Well, mum and daddy used to sport. No, not sporty. Not sporty. I mean, sort of a physical exertion. I think they call that you just have to play away from home.

Yeah, play away from home. Yeah, I had to do away games. Do you change your uniform when you play away from home. Yeah, play away from home. Yeah, I had to do away games. You have to change your uniform when you play away from home, though. It was just nice in the morning to wake up and I'm already home. You know what I mean? And they can leave. And I think if I was home with my parents. What kind of sport happens overnight?

It's just night sports. Sort of a wrestling. Wrestling, gymnastics. Gymnastics. Grappling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're Roman Greco? Yeah, yeah, Roman Gre of. grappling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're Roman Greco? Yeah,

yeah, Roman Greco, yeah, wrestling. Okay, yep. Bit of that, and I was there,

I had a few. Were you playing in a, mixed gender? Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes. Most of the time. Most of the time,

it's sort of a mixed gender competition. Not as much, yeah. Yeah, right. I just think living, you know, with your parents,

it makes it a bit harder. Yeah, it does. For those younger, formative Yeah. Right. But I just think living with your parents, it makes it a bit harder. Yeah, it does. For those younger, formative years. But that's something you've got to look forward to. Your girls. Forever. 28 at home. Forever.

But then you've got to pay for them. I don't care. But you say this now. Although a lot of parents will charge you. I don't want them to be the lame ones. But you know, every now and then, someone cool's living at home with their folks. No, they're not. Are they? No. No. Then I'm absolutely okay with to be the lame ones. But you know, every now and then someone cool's living at home with their folks. No, they're not.

Are they? No. No. Then I'm absolutely okay with them being the weird ones. Yeah, you want them to be the freak losers. The top six next. Siri has been apparently listening in. Surprise, surprise.

People are getting money out of Apple in a lawsuit. Yeah, I've got the top six things Siri heard at your house. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six. Siri heard at your house. Well, Fletch is now going to tell us about the Apple lawsuit and Siri listening. Fletch, over to you. It's been going on a while, but Apple will pay out nearly $100 million over claims that phones listened in

on users' conversations. 100%. Wow. Someone mentioned something so specific to me the other day. Something that you could buy. Can't remember what it was. It was not like subconsciously you would have Googled it. No. It was the most random thing

and there it is. It pops up. Yeah. We've tested this on air and it worked. It does. It happened. Yeah. So bizarre. It's very bizarre. And they It pops up. Yeah. We've tested this on air and it worked. It does. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So bizarre. It's very bizarre. And they keep denying it. Yeah, yeah. You are listening.

Explain it. They're listening. It's just that, you know, the collective zeitgeist are all thinking about the same thing. No. Yeah. Stop listening. Yeah. Because I talk things that I don't want to be heard.

If you've got smart speakers in your home, like Alexa or anything like that? Yeah, they're listening. Because they're always ready to be like, yeah. Yeah. How can I help? Imagine what you could hear if you worked at like Alexa HQ. Siri HQ.

I don't think we need to imagine. I think Vaughan's about to tell us the things we might hear. I've got the top six things Siri overheard at your house. Number six on the list. You practising your Trump impression as you cook dinner. Now, tell the people

why you've thought of this. Because last night when I was driving home by myself, after I went on a date with Fletch, I was driving home by myself.

You've got to keep the magic alive after all these years. Date nights. You can't just let them slip. You can't take it for granted. No, exactly. He bought me a beer.

Well, as he should. And then we found out the drinks were free. And then we found out they were free. Unbelievable. Oh, no. I will be submitting a claim. Yeah, submit a claim. Yeah, we'll submit a claim.

When I was driving home from our date, I was just by myself because I've been working on my Trump. Your impression. My impression. Do you want to do a little? Whether I say the word, because everybody, when you're doing an impression

or like you're going to do an accent, you've got a couple of words to drop you into it. Yeah. Chyna is of course the main one. Yeah. And I, I know,

what does he say? Chyna, you know it's me. And it's only me. It's a lot of me's. It's getting there. It's getting there of me's. It's getting there. It's getting there. It's warming up.

I don't know how impressionists work on impressions but I figure they just slowly add more rises to them. So you're just in your car and you're cooking and you're working on your... Well, I was in the car

but you know, I would, if I was by myself in the kitchen at home, I'd 100% be practicing it as well. Okay. Everyone is doing the dishes. Number five on the list

of the top six things Siri heard at your house. Siri heard you ask Alexa to play Vaughn's girly pop playlist. Hayley is so shocked that Siri. I went. Why? Because Siri's feelings would be hurt when you ask Alexa. And Siri's there being like, what am I, chopped liver?

Do you ever pick up your phone and you're like, hey, Alexa? No. And it's like, that is not me. Or it's got like a few. I don't have any Alexa products. Don't you? No. And I say, we're in Alexa house, but Siri on the phone. Yeah. That's confusing. And you can rename them.

Hey Siri, I'm sorry about Vaughn and Alexa. I knew you had a real love. I think I'm definitely closer with my Alexa. All Siri ever does for me is start a two hour countdown timer. Siri started a two hour countdown timer. Oh yeah, Siri's great for when you're cooking. Oh yeah. Hey Siri, does for me is start a two hour countdown timer. Right. Siri start a two hour countdown timer.

Oh yeah, Siri's great for when you're cooking. Oh yeah. Siri, do 20 minutes for this. Set a timer for 15 minutes. Siri's just done it

on my laptop in two hours that alarm's gonna go off. So if you're listening at 16 minutes past eight this morning and you hear my alarm go off. That's why.

That's why. I'm just gonna turn it off and not say anything but a little Easter egg for the long term listeners. Oh yeah, good. Number four on the list of the top six things Siri overheard

at your house when you asked that how to fake your own death to get out of a social occasion. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

I reckon you could just say like, hey, I'm a bit sick or I'm not in the mood. No, it's going to need to be bigger. Okay. Death?

Okay. At the very least. There's no coming back from that. If I'm ever in a coma, take lots of photos because I might use them for another time.

Okay. Should we dress you in different? Yeah. Okay. Change my clothes. Oh, you're going to change it up. Yeah. Change my clothes.

Don't look at my dick. I've asked you. I'm looking. Leave that to the nurses. No, I'm looking. Wait, if Ford was in a coma, you'd look at his dick. 100%. And I'd take a little pic with me next to it being like,

saw it. Right. Saw it. Like that. Uh-huh. I reckon you'd have, I'm in a coma. I. Saw it. Like that. Ha ha. I reckon it would be, I reckon you'd have, I'm in a coma.

I can hear everything. I reckon it would be smaller. It would be coma dick. Oh, coma dick is like so limp and shriveled. 100% though, right. It would be shriveled. It's got a catheter

attached to it too. Oh, yeah. Coma dick. And I would put my head right next to it. Ha ha. If you're listening and you've been in a coma,

let us know. Well, no, but you've been in a coma, let us know. Well, no, but you wouldn't know. No, but someone would have told you. Yeah, maybe. Oh, no, they're going to like pick it up. No, a nurse would know because they would have to

clean you when you're in a coma. And you've tended to somebody in a coma. No names, no names. We don't want you in trouble with the union, but we need to know. How bad's the coma dick?

Imagine being expelled from the union because you talk to the radio about the coma dick. About how shriveled and little it gets. No names, no hospitals, no identification. Is that sort of a universal thing? What were we up to?

Got a little waylaid there with Comedic. Number three on the list of the top six things. This is so inappropriate. Siri Hood at your house. Comedic! Can I just say we're leaving Comedic behind now? We need to put a... Shut that book. I think we should too.

We'll get in trouble. Full stop. End. Bracketed. Put in a thing. Under the bed. Next paragraph. Labelled. Comedic. Number three on the list of the top six things Siri overheard at your house. You asking your kids to get ready for school times one million every morning. Oh yeah. You getting ready?

Are you up? That was mine. Are you up? Are you out of bed? Are you up? I got yelled at from the top of every morning. Oh yeah. Are you getting ready? Are you up? It was mine. Are you up? Are you out of bed? Are you up? I got yelled at from the top of the stairs. Oh yeah. Did you just have the sheets and the duvet all just ripped off? Nah, I didn't have that.

I'd be like, joke's on you, Christine. You're going to have to make this bed. Joke's on you, Christine. You're going to see my... She's like, you're not even in a coma. I'd be like, ma'am. I'm in deep sleep. Ma'am, my sleep's so deep're not even in a coma. I'll be like,

ma'am. I'm in deep sleep. Ma'am, my sleep's in deep sleep. I'm in a coma, ma'am. Ma'am. Number two on the list of the top six things

Siri overheard at your house. Are you swearing at your houseplants for dying even though you gave them everything? Hey, hey, hey. God, this one's gone on a bit,

eh? If the automatic thing starts playing, it's all right. How long is our bed? Six minutes ten. Hey, we're having fun. It's a long top six.

Is this it? We're way late by the coma. We're so way late by coma dick. Number two on the list is swearing at your houseplants for dying

even though you've done everything. Yeah. Everything you've done just too much coma dick for me. Too much coma dick. Number one on the list

of the top six things. Siri, I overheard at your house arguments that you took part in that you think you sounded great during that you should not be proud of being part of. Oh, I really held it together house. Arguments that you took part in that you think you sounded great during that you should not be proud of being a part of.

Oh, I really held it together in that one. I think I really voiced my opinion. And Siri's like, let me replay your argument. And you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's just you being like, me-dee-bee-dee-bee-dee-bee. Is that right? Is that right? Me-dee-bee-dee-bee-dee-bee. I know I wasn't in a coma, but that's just what you're dealing with.

That's today's top six. Play. ZM. Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Well, it was the show that launched Joe Rogan's career. He's now the biggest podcaster in the world. And just a great guy. Through and through, and I stand by everything he says. Although lately he has been coming out against a few things that Trump's been doing. Well, that's nice.

Bit of balance. Bit of balance. Bit of balance. Bit of balance. But he was the host of Fairfactor. He was. He was also, what was he? He did a lot of, not wrestling. He still does.

Yeah, he still does the UFC. Yeah. But it was Fairfactor that made him a household name. Yep. In America and New Zealand and around the world. Yeah. And here. He had here.

He did have here. Yeah, Fairfactor. Well, it was right towards the back. He had hair. He had hair. He did have hair. Yeah, Fear Factor. Well, it was right towards the back. It was time to let it go. Fox have announced that they are rebooting Fear Factor. And it's coming back. What do you immediately think of? Eating gross stuff.

Or like people that had tarantulas crawling around their face. In a box. Head in a box with snakes all over them. The ones I always wanted to try was where they jumped cars into things because I was like, they're not going to let you die. If you have to drive a car off a ramp into water,

they safety them all up. People have died in these kind of... What was that show? Do you remember someone went underwater and they had to escape? That British show. No. And they could have...

Was it Noel? It was some Noel Edmonds thing. Oh, Noel Edmonds House Party. And they died. I don't know if it's Noel Edmonds House Party. And they died. I don't know if it's Noel Edmonds House Party, it was one of those shows. He was the host. And someone had to escape out of a box or something and they didn't. Yeah.

And they died way back. So no one's died on Fairfactor, but there was an article in weirdly this year, before this was announced, in January, an article about times that people almost died on Fear Factor. Okay, so a woman had to eat disgusting seafood, and it turned out she had a really bad seafood allergy

that she was never made aware of. Oh. A woman got a bad concussion after being pulled by a car. A woman nearly got trampled by a bull. Either contestant on top of the car during an unplanned crash. The stuntman who fell six stories. Okay, so a few nearly, but no one died doing Fairfactor. They're saying it's too early to confirm

whether or not Joe Rogan's going to host as well. He'd be wanting big buckers. He'd be wanting, oh, money. New Zealand version, eh? AJ Hackett's Kenny Hackett. No, no, it was literally New Zealand Fairfactor. And it was hosted by the dude that was the model, the South African model.

It was a guy. was on Fear Factor so they did because I always imagine it was just gross things but they did stunts as well yeah

okay yeah they'd be like you've got to stand on top they even did one where they stood on top of a plane

and strapped them in and everything but then they had to like take off and go run on the plane which I think people pay thousands of dollars for that experience. Well, apparently it won't be hosted by Joe Rogan. Right.

Oh, they say it won't be. It won't be. I think he earns enough money doing his podcast that he doesn't need to work again ever in his life. When did Ludacris host it? Did he take over? Yeah. US rap star Ludacris hosts the reboot of reality series

Fear Factor. So it's already been rebooted with Luda as the host and then it's died again and now it's another reboot. Right. I love Ludacris. He's very good. He's the maintenance man. Sorry, this is a lyrical reference.

I'm a big Ludacris fan. I like it. Yeah. So we're going to wait to see. The thing I like about Ludacris is he wants to lick, lick, lick, lick you from your head to your toes. Yeah, it's good. He's always into it. Yeah, it's the whole body cover.

It's literally the hint of time. That's quite disgusting. Has it missed a bit? Yeah. There's bits I'd want him to miss. I don't lick my pits. It's not for me. Lick the pits.

It's Ludacris, man. No, that's just not for me. Tip to time. Tip to time. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. According to the Washington Post, who I respect because it's a respectable place, these are the six definitive rules of office lunch etiquette.

Now, we don't have lunch, but we do brekkie. And I've been known to bring in... Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Yeah, he does. When you said you respect it and stuff, I was like, didn't they recently get purchased by a billionaire? He's owned them for a long time. And then just before the election...

Oh, 2013. Yeah, just before the election, they didn't endorse anybody for president. Okay. Redact my earlier comments. But so we don't... Like, you have a muesli and fruit, Fletch, that's fine. Vaughan, towards the end of the show or after the show,

you'll have a nice oats and I think it smells good. I either do slow oats or I wait and then I go, we should go to the cafe after work. I'm hungry. You go eggs, eggs, eggs. Eggs, eggs. I chant eggs. Or sushi.

You guys will be like sushi. Sometimes you will reheat some mincey dish quite early in the morning and it stinks out not just our studio but the iHeartRadio lounge. Yes, yeah. I will if I've had bolognese the night before. I'll be like, that's a perfectly fine 5am breakfast. And sometimes with the pasta included.

And I'll heat the mints and i understand and we have a vegetarian on our team and it's not good and sometimes ross boss comes in with a hot scone from the across the road or a saucy roll and it stinks up the studio we're like get out of here it's a buttery stink all right here are the six definitive rules don't come in here with your buttery don't come in here smearing your buttery around us follow the rules or make some that That's rule number one. Follow the rules. Okay. If your workplace already has rules,

you know, like the fridge gets cleared out on Friday. Yeah. Now, you remember I left a sustainer full of, indeed, a pasta bolognese, I think for months and months and months. It's gone. I believe it might still be in there. No, I think it's gone.

Do you think it's gone? Although there is another clean-out this weekend. Oh, is there? So you might want to get your sustainers out. So if you've got rules that are printed there like this one within the company, follow those. Keep smells and sounds to a min. Sounds?

Sounds. Are we doing noisy edits? Loud or strong smelling foods. Strong lunches they call with like fish and what not. But if you are a hungry hungry eater and you tend to make a lot of noise, maybe, you know.

Sit out on the edge of the staff room. Yeah, they say fish or heavily spiced dishes. Now, I was going to bring in a fish curry for brekkie tomorrow. I just wouldn't bring a fish curry to work. I just don't like fish curry. I don't mind it if it's fresh. Oh, fish curry's so good.

It's delicious. If you have it fresh, yum. But it's not something you reheat. You don't reheat fish curry. I don't mind if it's fresh. That's something you have. Oh, fish curry's so good. It's delicious. If you have it fresh, yum. But it's not something you reheat. You don't reheat fish. No way. No, no, no, no, no. You cook it once. Yeah.

Okay, do your part to keep the kitchen tidy and whatever. I've been known to chuck a dirty fork in a clean dishwasher. Oh, you piece of shit. I've licked it clean though. Don't eat at a meeting. At least everybody is. We always eat at meetings. It's a good time to eat.

Yeah, that's, I think that's a... What am I supposed to be doing? That's a loose rule. Listening? Yeah, that's loose. That's a loose rule. If you're the host,

you're responsible. Oh, okay. So let's say it's our birthday and I've said, Fletch, it's your birthday and we're going to have a little cake. It's my job to bring the cake.

You know what I mean? You're the host. Yeah, you're the host. Okay, yeah, right. You've got to bring a cake. You know what I mean? You're the host. Yeah, you're the host. Okay, yeah, right. You've got to bring a cake. Because the birthday person shouldn't be getting the little plates and cleaning up and getting the big cake knife.

No, no, no, no, no. That's not the birthday person's job. But some office places do have that. My best friend's office is like that. What? When it's your birthday, you provide the cake. Oh, you don't know about people who are your birthday smokers?

Yeah. Yeah, it seems I want to stack on someone on their birthday. It's literally my day. Yeah. The final one, the must-do etiquettes for food in the workplace. When you can, and Vaughan, I want you to be listening to this one.

I'm not really listening. When you can. Put your phone down more. Phone down, listen to this one. Listen. When you can, this is important for team bonding. When you can. Okay.

Let's get the old gang together. Did we get invited just to Yumcha just now? It sounds like we might have. On Vaughan. No. Let's not go crazy. Hang on. The last one, if you're the host, you're responsible.

That silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's silly little pole is your partner, your best friend. No. You've always said this.

I've always said this. Yeah. And, yeah, you know, every wedding, like, I love you. You're my partner. You're my best friend. You're my best friend. And that's sweet and yuck. No, Aaron's never been my best friend. Jess is my best friend. Jess is your best friend. Not my best friend. And that's sweet and yuck. No, Aaron's never been my best friend.

Jess is my best friend. Jess is your best friend. She's been my best friend since we were, I can't even remember. Like three years old. Yeah, just after we, I think we just turned four. Okay, wow. The Piss Sisters themselves. Piss Sisters.

That's what we got called. Yeah. Because when I wet my pants, she looked me in the eye and she wet her pants so we could be in the prom together. Oh, that's just the best. Isn't that the best story? When I told that story at her wedding, everyone called us the piss sisters. And that's who we are now.

I love it. She's my soulmate. A tale as old as time. As your partner, your best friend, 76% of people said yes. Sorry. That's so nice. Turn my mic off. 24% of people said nay.

Nay, your honour. Nay, they are nay, my best friend. It's about to get icky in here, I reckon. Let's dive into some comments. Yeah, it's going to get bleh. Get me a bucket. Pre-T, regular contributor to the show. You'll recognise that name.

Yes. Yes, 1000%. Yes, I tell that man every bit of tea. We love a good gossesh. Oh, yeah. That's cute. That's fun. That's good stuff.

Stevie said, he has a big mouth and I can't trust him. He puts everything on Facebook. Nope. That's not a best friend. Not a bestie. It's like your partner's putting everything on Facebook. They'll be like, hey, Daryl. What is this, 2010?

Pump the brakes on Facebook statuses, my dude. Yeah. Rachel said, yes, because he sees all the good, all the bad, all the ugly, and he still stays. We're getting old and fat together and I'm okay with that. That's nice. Sounds like someone's having some post dinner ice cream. We're having some treaties. We're having a couple of Magnum Minis on the couch.

Sounds like they are. Alexandra, nah, gotta have a bestie to have a whinge to about your husband. Yeah. Julia says, I don't tell people he's my best friend because that sounds

gross, but the truth is by far my favourite person in the world and the one who knows me best, so I guess he is my best friend. That's nice.

It's nice that she can recognise how gross that sounds. Yeah. And so avoids it. Love is not dead, it turns out. Apparently.

Bronte said he's one of them. He's one of them. That's all. One of the best friends. Alicia, absolutely not. We're partners and lovers, not best friends. I have a group of best friends. He's one of them. That's all. One of the best friends. Alicia, absolutely not. We're partners

and lovers, not best friends. I have a group of best friends. He's not my best friend. Oh, that's a very you way of looking at it. Clean cut. If my bestie got up at her wedding and said she was marrying her best friend, I'd be like, bitch, excuse me. The same goes the other way around. Big red flag when people call their

husband their bestie. No thanks. I mean, I love mine, but he's not my best friend. Yeah. Christy said, because my mum's my best friend. Partners come and go, mums are forever. Aww. Mum's your bestie. Do you reckon she knows

that all mums die in the end? Well, nothing lasts forever. Nothing lasts forever. Not love, not marriage. Not the horse and the carriage. Not the horse and the carriage. Not the horse and the carriage. Amber said, yes, he is my best friend because despite what you guys keep saying, love isn't dead. Is that becoming famous? It sounds like that message is permeating.

Wow. Put it on a horse. Well, then let's call it there for silly little... Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Bop alert. Bop. Oh, don't say that.

Now. Hey, baby. Sleep is so overrated. Hey, baby, I'm going to sleep when I'm dead. I get so much done. And guess what? Because I'm not sleeping, I'm going to die sooner. Yeah, that's right.

Starburst sucks. Do you remember them? They were the bags of delicious lollipops. No. Starburst lollipops. They were like grape, apple's right. Starburst sucks. Do you remember them? They were the bags of delicious lollipops. No. Starburst lollipops. They were like grape, apple, strawberry. No, I never had them. I wasn't a Starburst lollipop guy.

I was a Starburst squirt. Yes. Oh, my God. In your mouth. In your mouth. When did they get rid of those? Who remembers the squirts? Australian nostalgia.

I feel like Starburst squirts, it'll be one of those things where it's like, they were discontinued in 2006 and you'll be like, what? No, it was definitely, it feels recent. It feels a little bit later than that. Starburst on a whole were discontinued in New Zealand in April 2021 and in Australia in June 2022 because of rising costs and supply chain issues in those countries. So there are still Starbursts around the world,

but not here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. They were so yummy. The babies were yummy. The squirts were yummy. Someone posted on TikTok saying, I would literally pay so much money to get my hands on a bag of Starburst Sucks, the lollipops. Yep.

Now, I... You can't. Yeah, they're gone, man. This is like, it's got us feeling very nostalgic now I want to squirt I'm looking at a squirt it looked like a wine gum

a thicker wine gum and you could tell there was something in the middle and you eat it and it squirted it was so nice they must have been

a big seller always got them before the movies either a bag of babies or those yeah yeah maybe it cost a lot of money

to squirt you know to lot of money to squirt, you know, to inject the goo. To squirt. Yeah. It's an extra step and it's just money. No, they're not. No. Well, look, it's got us feeling nostalgic. We want to know what item would you bring back?

It was the best ice cream I've ever had.

Yes. What? Stop it, you dirty girl. Was the ice cream also had flakes in it? Yes, it did. Yes, I remember that. You know, the specks of... Flickies.

Flicks. Man, I love a flake. I don't know what it is. It always feels real bourgeois to me because it's so fragile. Yeah. I must be careful with this. Yeah, I always eat this delicately. Whereas you're just paying more for less fragile. Yeah. I must be careful with this. Yeah, I must eat this delicately. Whereas you're just paying more

for less chocolate because there's holes in it. Yeah, through it. City holes. Casey, thank you. Andy, what treat do you miss? I miss Dunkaroos. Oh, yum.

Oh, wow, you've offended them, Hayley. Sorry, Andy, Andy, proceed. State your argument. Yeah, well, caramel, it's like a good-less snack, you know?

I'm not a hard lolly person. No, but they soften. You're a gummy boy. Nah, nah, that's right. Oh, yes. But they've been gone for years, Tanya. Do you know what I know? I'm not a hard lolly person. No, but they soften. You're a gummy boy. No, you're gummy. Gummy lollies. No, but if you finish all your popcorn at the movies first, at least you've got the tangy fruits to last you all the way through. Yeah, that's true.

Guess what? There's one almond gold. We split it. Boom. And it was perfect, but it wasn't enough. And now I need a whole almond gold. No, we're going to do almond gold. Strawberry roses.

Remember in a pack of roses, they got rid of the strawberry flavor. They were yum. Did they? Yeah. Didn't even notice. Pineapple lumps ice cream, exactly the same as jelly tip, but with yellow jelly. Oh, yeah.

Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley's tangy Biggins. We'll buy the trademark. Yeah, we'll do it. Love it. Play ZM's Fletchch Vaughan and Hayley. So I've kind of briefly explained yesterday afternoon. My daughter said, is it all right if I go to the mall after school to get a pink shirt for Pink Shirt Day on Friday?

Yeah. Anti-bullying. Good message. And I was like, you know, I'm doing that thing where she's 13 and you've got to give them a little bit of rope. That's right. And they've got to earn your trust and stuff, right? Not too much, though.

She's with a friend who's done it before. They're going to catch the bus. They're going to be home later on. And she's like, yep, I'll see where you're at. This sounds like trouble. It went okay. How were you doing this when you were the same age, Hayley? Yeah, definitely.

First year of high school. Now, that's all I want to hear. Thank you. Because what were you doing when you went to the mall? I'm not raising a Hayley Sproul. You're raising one of them, I reckon. The second's getting the big hailey sprout. No, not this early on.

Head towards the later end of third form. Naughtiness entered. This is apparently the first and the last time she's going to be going out after school. No, I don't want to ruin this for Indy. And she's like, she messages me and she's got her own money. I actually owe her a hundred bucks, which is a bit of a this for Indy. And she's like, she messages me and she's like, she's got her own money.

I actually owe her a hundred bucks, which is a bit of a kick in the teeth. You owe her a hundred dollars? Yeah, yeah. But like, it all comes out on the watch. Like you've actually given her like the last 13 years of her life. Yeah, yeah. All the dinners.

Everything. Anytime I pay for anything for my parents, if I'm out and I'm like, oh, I'll just get it and you can pay me back. And then I want to ask for it back. My mum's like, interesting. Yeah. I don't ask for anything else that I pay for you back, but fine, yeah oh I'll just get it and you can pay me back and then I want to ask for it back my mum's like interesting yeah I don't ask for anything else that I pay for you back

but fine yeah I'll transfer you $30 okay fine don't worry then I also wanted someone recently their parents were on a ledger their entire childhood

the red book it was called the red book it was a ledger and at the end of the year every year added it up stuff anything that was considered

you know extra like what school camp when you were 14 god that cost us $200 Probably not like food, but like stuff. Anything that was considered, you know. Extra. Extra. Like what, school camp when you were 14? God, that cost us $200. Put it in the ledger. New drum kit. Put it in the ledger. I mean, it does, when you see it all written down,

it gives you an appreciation for the cost of things. Oh, yeah. Haven't they worked out a kid costs over the lifetime like a quarter of a million dollars? That was ages ago. If they don't go to private school. I feel like the cost of living would probably edge it towards $300,000. Anyway. Anyway. that was ages ago I feel like the cost of living would probably edge towards

$300,000 anyway anyway which is why we'd rather holiday Hayley yeah really

I'll shut up shop you don't want to spend money on someone that one day is going to say something really hurtful that you never forget yeah and it's going to

hurt you to your core yeah yeah yeah and I'll never forget it and I'll prime myself to sleep about it hasn't happened yet fingers crossed it never happens

but it will so she's like I want to use some of And I'll cry myself to sleep about it. No, I'm good. Hasn't happened yet. Fingers crossed it never happens. It will. It's coming. She's like, I want to use some of that money you owe me to buy some jeans and a t-shirt. And I was like, okay. And I transferred her the money. And she purchased said jeans and t-shirt. And I was out when she got home because I was on a date with Fletch.

And we'll talk about that later on the show. Do. I tell you what, it was a little inappropriate when he tried to kiss me. But anyway, he tried. and that's the main thing rude you walked into his door and then he's like do you want to come in

I was like I gotta get going and he tried to kiss me what are you doing anyway we'll talk more about that failed kiss attempt I'm angry

it took him this long to try long tease so when I did get home I was like hey so show me what you purchased and she's like

these are the jeans and I was like I love these jeans. They're great colour. Baggy? Yeah, real baggy. The kids are all about the baggy jeans. And she's like, and this is my retro t-shirt. I will now show my workmates

what constitutes in a 13-year-old mind a funny, funny retro t-shirt. Oh no. It has a Nokia 3310 on it. Oh my god. It has a Nokia 3310 on it. Oh, my God. Retro. A digital camera.

Oh, no. And then there's like a cat. I don't know what's retro about the cat. And some other like, I don't know, is this lipstick from back in the day? No, it's a lipstick. From how we used to put lipstick on. Oh, yeah, real funny. And a big 90s bow and a martini. So it's just kind of like girly retro vibe.

Yeah, I was like, huh? And she's like, oh, my God. Have you ever seen one of these? And points at the digital camera. To which I'm like, seen? That was an upgrade. Bitch, I own. There's probably one in a box in the garage

if you want to see some fun, ha ha retro technology. And then she's like, now what were these called? I was like, that, my love, is a Nokia 3310. It's a cell phone. And she's like, so what could it even do? I was like, nothing.

It can do everything. Do you know what? If she ever needs punishment, you should swap out her iPhone for one of these. Don't phone her. Then she'll know what they do. Yeah. Nothing apart from snakes. Snakes.

Snakes. Text, call. Yeah. That's it. Oh, and change your ringtone. You could draw boobies if you went bracket, space, full stop, space, close bracket, space, space, bracket, space, full stop, space, space, because breasts aren't the same. They're not symmetrical. Thank you. Close brackets.

Beautiful. Send your mates some boobies back in the day. If you wanted a bigger areola, you could go little O or big zero. The world was our hoister. We didn't need anything more and when we got bored, we'd just change our ringtone. So this is funny to you?

That's what I said to her. This is funny to you? This is funny to you? She's like, it's a retro T-shirt. I was like, and I guess thinking about it, it is. Yeah, because that's 25 years ago. 25 years ago-ish. So the equivalent would have been in 1995 wearing a 1970s T-shirt.

Which was retro. And then like, ha ha, retro. And your parents would have taken themselves away. And I assume cried. As we are now. That's what I'm doing now. And then I sat her down and gave her a good, hard, freaky speech about how you blink and life's just passed you by.

Oh, God, don't. So make it real. Yeah, here we go. Oh, for God's sake. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Now, our beloved producer Shannon sent a photo to our group chat yesterday that caught my eye for a pretty obvious reason.

The group is called Shannon's Guardians because we feel we need to guard her. We guard and we guide. Yeah. And when she sent this photo, I was like, we're going to need to really step up our guardianship because she seems to be surrounded by police. She's in a tiny lift and surrounded by uniformed policemen. Officers of the law.

Who I respect and also crave. Now, Shannon. Shannon. I believe that's their motto, to protect and crave. Yeah, and satisfy cravings. Yeah. Shannon. Yeah. Shannon! Jeez.

It's those blue polos on the biceps, isn't it? It just undoes me. I've never slept with a cop either. Like, it's just an open-ended... Invitation? Invitation! What it is, you're just putting it out there. Anyway, just stop.

This is not about me, this is about Shannon. Shannon, how did you end up in this position? It was weird. You made it about yourself. Yeah, I know, and I loved it. It's not like we did. I loved it, but now I'm ready to pass the baton. How did you end up in a lift full of police officers?

So as I was walking home from work, I was kind of coming up to my apartment building and I saw three cops standing outside. And you know when someone looks at you and they're like, hello, we need you? And you're like, I'm here. Like there was just a bit of a nod of like, hello, we need you, and you're like, I'm here. Like there was just a bit of a nod of like, we've found a resident.

So I kind of look and I said, do you need to be let in? And they were like, yes, please. I said, follow me. And they said, does your... Okay, wait, Hayley just needs a moment. Follow me. It's not going there. It's actually unbelievable that I've never stood outside and had cops say like, we need you.

They needed me. Can you let us in? They said, does your swipe work for all the floors? And I said, you overestimate my building. Yes, it does. Wait, what it does? My swipe doesn't work unless you're on the level you live in. No, it's just you get in. Slightly different calibre of building.

I wasn't going to bring it up but there are some other differences between your apartment and Shannon's. Yeah. So we get in and I press my floor and I press my real one

because if I ever get in with a man, I click the wrong one and I walk up some stairs. That's just how it's being a girl. But I clicked the real one because I was like, I can trust my brothers.

And also maybe they'll follow. Sorry. I keep doing this. Now there's not room in Shannon's apartment for three people. There actually just isn't. No standing room. Two of these cops are going to have to lay down on the bed.

They're just going to have to. Oh no. They're just going to have to. There's nowhere else to be. And they're going to have to take their pesky police boots off. Too big. The apartment's too small. Yeah.

And it's hot too, so the pants and the shirt may be optional at this stage. No, leave the shirts on. What? So I click my floor. She's going to, so the pants and the shirt may be optional at this stage. No, leave the shirts on. What? So I click my floor. She's going to win you the poo finish. I know, yeah. I was just picturing it. I was like, no, I take it back.

Shannon, please. They click the floor they were going to, and I broke the silence. Now, can I just say, you don't click the floor in an elevator. You press. Yeah, click. It clicks. It doesn't click. Again, Shannon's apartment's a click.

What is your elevator? It's an automatic switcher. It's an old 1930s thing. And then you've got to crank the hand thing to get it going. It's not really a noise. It's a button. Well, maybe she's got clicky buttons. Okay, sorry. They click a different floor and I said, ha ha, good you're not coming to

mine. Like, I just was trying to break the silence. And they were like yeah yeah nah and they were like oh you know we used to spend a whole shift here a few years ago hence Shannon's Guardian they were like oh yeah it's got a lot better we hardly ever come out here now I said that's good and I said there's some interesting characters

I said see this curtain this man likes to hide behind it and jump out at me and the cop said something, I won't repeat it for radio, but he said something a bit controversial. Right. I said, yeah, haha. I said, you're actually going to his floor, because

I know where he lives, because he freaks me out. So I clock him. And I said, well, and then we got to my floor, and I said, oh, you're going to his floor, and I didn't know how to say bye. So I said, good luck. Good luck. That's appropriate.

Good luck on your mission. Yeah, good luck. Yeah. Be safe. Be stop. They were about my age. They were all in their 20s cops. They were young.

How horrible. You know what those rookies on the force are like? They tend to make mistakes. Hayley's looking more for a hairy sergeant Yeah I'm looking for someone who's been around the block A slug on the upper lip Yeah Cops dash

I guess I'm an arc I let them in I told them about the guy Like if they're arresting him Do you reckon they'll be like Do you ever jump out at girls in the elevator Yeah yeah yeah Maybe I gave some ammunition

You're not going to last in the safe house If they had bumped into someone else They might have said I'm not letting you in. Cops. Well, yeah, I guess so. But also, I wanted the goss. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, I was curious what floor they were going to. I would have gone up with them. I should have just said it. I would have clicked the button for them and said, what floor are you going to? They would have said six or whatever. I would have been like, oh, my God, me too.

Same. And the elevator would have shut and then just listen. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they didn't have a dog because there's drug dogs all the time. Yeah, your apartment block really sounds, um, yeah. Hey, but they said they don't come as often as they used to, so the

place is really cleaning up. It's cleaning up its act. It's gentrified. But wait, now follow up, because for those that missed it, there was some controversy in your apartment building because somebody was throwing food out of the windows onto the floor of the apartments below. Now, we thought that it was Shannon all along. No, I can't afford food.

And they said if we ever find you, you're paying for the hours we're watching security footage. Did they ever find out a person? No word on that. But when I was walking home last night, there was a bunch of hot chips everywhere. Okay. So the problem still exists. The problem remains.

Yeah. I now know where. Like, I got a good vibe on where they live. Definitely not my side. And how do you know they were hot still? No. No, no. Like, hot chips is in the style, not the temperature.

Right. Okay. I thought you might have picked one up just in case. I just didn't know if you were eating food off the floor. No, the pigeons wouldn't even touch it, and I think that's a sad sign. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

We've properly announced, right, that Sex.Life Season 3 is returning. I think so. Everything's a blur to me. I forget, it's a blur. Everything's a blur. Like, in theory, if it was, like, it feels like May 28th would be a good day.

I don't know. I can't remember if we've done it or not. We have. Okay, good, good, good, good, good. I just suddenly was like, So, May 28th, season three kicks off, and it is going to be a very intimate season. Tell you what, I'm not holding back this year.

What have we sort of pilled back the... I just imagine people listening, when does Hayley ever hold back? I know, but actually, if you do listen to season one, I've come a long way. Right, okay. Yeah, I was listening to season... I've been listening back to it, and I was like...

Bit of a prude, weren't you? A little bit. A little bit. Fresh out of the Catholic nunnery. And I was like, er, er, er, now, good lord. Hey, Morgan, now. Morgan. Hey, Morgan, how do you say things like that? Put what where? Anyway, my,

like, me and Morgan were like, I think people who are new to Sex.Life, they've got to go back and listen to season one and season two. And then Morgan, this is Morgan's. I would say if you're jumping into season three, you're probably getting in the deep end of the pool. Yeah, you want to start at season one. You've got to start there.

Don't get me wrong, the shallow end's still pretty deep. Oh yeah, the shallow end, it's sort of deep shallow, deep shallow, deep shallow. There's like turbulence and waves in the deep end. Yeah, that's right. And there's like monsters trying to grab you and drag you down to the bottom. So then Morgan was like, isn't it great when you watch a show, say like Severance, and you don't have time to go back

and watch the whole season, when they do those amazing recaps. Oh, a beautifully crafted like 10, 15 minute recap. Because I still need to watch Severance season two because I watched the first episode of the new season and I was like, I forget everything that's happened. I need I watched season the first episode of the new season and I was like I forget everything that's happened

I need to watch season one again but maybe you're short on time maybe that's just not within your I need a recap you need a recap well today

it's in your feed wherever you listen to your podcast the episode is called edging you before season three comes oh beg your what

did I mention that word it's the opposition oh yeah not even the sexual nature of the term edging oh I'm so sorry I keep forgetting we've got PTSD season three comes. Oh, beg your... What? Did I mention that word? It's the opposition. Oh, yeah. Not even the sexual nature of the two. Oh, I'm so sorry. I keep forgetting. We've got PTSD.

Yeah, yeah. I'm so sorry. Vaughan and I have serious PTSD. Yeah. I really apologise. I'm so sorry. I've got a doctor's certificate. I'm so sorry.

We have just dropped a 40-minute episode today. So two weeks ahead of time. And it'll catch you up on everything. And it's basically a season one and season two recap and a little tease of season three. So you don't have to wait all the way to the 28th,

6.life fans. They're screaming. They're like, we've waited long enough. And you've been recording episodes after the show, so you've got a few in the bag already. Oh, we do. And you are in for an absolute

intimate tree and some like stories that you're going to relate to some stories where you're like oh my god that was me I went through that too

and also some lovely appearances from our very own flesh. A hero of sorts and it's very nice. So wherever you podcast today

already now don't turn us off. But once you're done with us, listen to your podcast. There's a little tease for season one and season two. So the 40-hour famine. When you did the 40-hour famine,

had it changed? No, at primary school, we did the 40-hour famine. By the time I went to an all-girls high school as a teenager, they cut it because of the not eating thing.

And then they did... Christine was ahead of her time on that. Oh really? My mum was big on that. And it was always like in winter when we were playing sports. She didn't want her boy going without. No. She said a boy cannot survive on barley sugars alone. Plus my brother and I would eat like five boxes of barley sugars each.

Just juice. Actually just cheaper for your mum to feed you as normal. Yeah. So we did no technology at high school. See, this is what I saw yesterday, the billboard for the 40-hour famine, because it's not the 40-hour famine anymore. No. And it was 40 hours, except it said 40 hours offline.

Yeah. And I was like, easy. Easy? Easy. Like, back in my day, there was the barley sugars and then maybe you'd sneak to the supermarket or the bakery and when no one was looking,

you'd have a pie. Who knew? It was the 40-hour famine one year and Dad was doing one of his cycling events. Oh, yeah. And afterwards, it was the Tour de Mouransville. The Tour de Mouransville.

Wait, wait. Was he juiced up? Yeah, Dad was juiced up. Was he doping? Dad was doping big time. He was doing blood transfusions with cows. Far out, yeah. Anything to win.

Glass of milk and a bit of cow blood in the morning. Straight into the veins. He was ready to go. That's why he was the six-time champion. Yeah, of the two of the moderns. Until his fall from grace. Bracelets. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Ian Strong. Ian Strong. That's what I said. But I remember we went and there was always a hell of a spread put on afterwards. Yeah. Ian Strong. Ian Strong. That's what I said. But I remember we went and there was always a hell of a spread put on afterwards. Everyone brought a plate.

Oh, yeah. Hell of a spread. And I was just like two plates in and mum's like, aren't you doing the 40-hour famine? And I was like, oh, no, I forgot. See, this is what I wanted to ask

because I reckon there'd be so many funny stories about people's attempt at doing the 40-hour famine or a 40-hour challenge. Yeah. And it just absolutely failed. My brother did 40 hours in a tent and him and his friends pitched a tent on our front little lawn. And it rained?

And it rained and they came in. Mummy, I'm cold, basically. Mummy, I'm cold. Mummy, I'm cold. But then it didn't matter, right? Like, as long as you still made the money. Yeah, you just fundraised the money and you don't really have to prove that you didn't eat. Yeah, exactly. As long as you gave

the money to the starving kids. That's all that matters, right? Who cares if you accidentally ate? This year, I'm just on the 40 Hour Challenge website, they call it now, the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge. They're raising money for the Solomon Islands to give kids food for today and a future for tomorrow.

This is some of our South Pacific Polynesian neighbours and I think we should be doing more to help them. Absolutely. The cause is always great. It's just the cheating. Yeah. Plus, we don't want China getting to Solomon's. He's been working.

If you're just joining us, he's been working on his Trump oppression. China's the N-word. China. China. Okay. 0800DARLSATM. We want you to give us a call. Text through 9696.

Tell us your 40 hour famine or challenge stories. Were you a little cheated? Did you fail? Oh, I want to hear the stories of people cheating. What pathetic thing did you give up for 40 hours? I want to hear about the people that embezzled the money too. Oh no, I don't want to hear about that. That's terrible. Because I went to school with someone

that stole the money and they caught them. Do you remember, speaking of when people were like, I'm going to give up something for 40 hours, and there was somebody who considers himself quite the textbook Christian. And they gave up God. Big God botherer. For 40 hours?

No, they gave up hot drinks for 40 hours. And we were, Fletch and I were like, are you kidding me? What will your God say? Jeepers. You get that pearly gates and God's like, everything was great, but I must say the hot drinks for 40 hours was pathetic. 0800-DARLES-AT-M-9696.

What are your 40-hour famine stories? Holy shit, we've just been having the most inappropriate conversation. We're just having the fun of the show on air and off air. 40- hour famine stories please. Now the 40 hour famine became the 40 hour challenge because obviously not eating for 40 hours is not great. Yeah that's why

it got shut down in my school. Eating sort of promotion and that kind of stuff. You don't want to sort of spark that. Which makes sense. And I saw the billboard yesterday one of the challenges was 40 hours offline. I'm like, they're just not going to know how hard they have it, you

know? No, but that's hard. I know, but it shouldn't be. Disconnecting entirely for 40 hours is hard. So good for you. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, like when I've gone on like a hike and you can't get reception for like three or four days, you're like, okay, that was actually quite nice. Throw yourself off the

mount. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it's quite nice. Good to clap. And then you finally do get some reception because you're up the top of Mount Taranaki and you've got notifications and you're like, well, I guess that's it.

You throw yourself into the volcano. Could you imagine being on a multi-day hike with Hayley who needs so much attention from her phone? So much attention. You would be so punishing. She'd be in a dock hut doing a one-woman show just for a bit of applause from some weird Germans. They're like, if we clap, will she stop?

Love me, love me, like me, applaud me. Everyone's tired after walking 40Ks. They just want to go to sleep and Hayley's like, I've got a show. Make some noise. Make some noise for your entertainment tonight. So we want to know. Oh, hold on. Oh, it's here.

Oh, that will see a lot. Don't tell them. That's an Easter egg. It's an Easter egg. If you've been here... It's a show Easter egg. Now, we want to know from you this morning, the funny stories that came from your 40-hour famine.

That top text is so good. That top text is so good. Save it. Save it for last. Save it for the end. Sophie, what happened during your 40 hours? So I was doing the 40-hour famine in year nine. Yeah.

And I was, so the challenge had started. It was like nine o'clock and I was laying in my bed. And I live in Christchurch. And my grandparents from nature decided to surprise me and stand at my bedroom door. And so I got like the surprise of my life. And then the next day, they surprised me by going at my bedroom door and so I got like the surprise of my life and then the next day they surprised me by going to my

favourite restaurant and I decided to sit there and smell all the food but then I gave in and I ate. What were you expected to do? You still raised the money though, right? Yeah, I raised like $300. Oh, that's nice. I want to ask what the restaurant was.

It's like this Asian Chinese restaurant. Yum, can? Yum. You're going to put sweet and sour pork in front of me? Yum, can? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're sitting down and we're doing a yum, can. Oh, take away orange.

Oh, lemon chicken. Orange chicken, lemon chicken. Sweet and sour pork, all of the chickens. Everything. I'm going to chuck a rogue one, egg fried rice. Yeah, man, I love egg fried rice. You've got to have one for the table. What do you mean rogue? It's delicious. No, no, no, but it's empty starchy carbs. Yeah, man, I love egg fried rice. You're not going to have one for the table. What do you mean rogue?

It's delicious. No, no, no, but it's empty starchy cups. Yeah, I know, and everyone's like, that's not exciting enough, but just one for the table. That's such a great base for a lemon chicken or a sweet and sour. Can I also just chuck this out there? I've got no time for black beef. The black beans.

Yeah, no, same. No, I don't like it. No, I don't like it. I'm heading towards chicken and pork. Yeah, yeah, chicken and pork. Sophie, thank you. Let's go to Jamie. Jamie, what happened in your 40-hour

famine? So I decided when I was at school to do a 40-hour famine and I sponsored it on my way home. I got home and mum said, no, we're not doing that. Wait, mum has put her foot down. Does mum think that she has to do it too

or just you? I don't know, but she said we're not doing that and we just continue this normal for the rest of the whole 40 hours. Wait, so did you raise any money and did you tell people that you starved for 40 hours? Oh, yeah. Oh, you lied. Okay.

Of course I did. But the money was raised, so that's okay. So that's mainly, yeah, exactly. Thank you, Jamie. Some messages. I was doing the 40-hour famine with a friend who her little sister made us watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Now, Fletch, you're not familiar with this movie. I don't know if you are, but a guy invents basically something that can turn nothing into food to feed starving things, but then it goes haywire and shoots up into the sky and starts raining food. So they're watching a movie

primarily about all the delicious food. Oh, yeah, yum. And then she sat in front of us and ate two Magnums. Okay. Little shit. Oh, I played a hockey tournament on she sat in front of us and ate two Magnums. Okay. Little shit. Oh, I played a hockey tournament on day one of the 40-hour challenge, was smacked in the elbow with a hockey stick,

and I almost fainted on the field, so the challenge was cut short. You feel a bit sick, you're a bit sore. Yeah, I need some chocolate. Need a saucy sizzle. I was 12 doing the 40-hour famine. I had to go to a wedding in the middle of it. I fainted at the wedding ceremony after 17 hours of not eating, so they made me eat because I cracked my head on the way down.

I never went with the grain and I thought a funny challenge would be to listen to the Crazy Frog song for 40 hours straight. Headed on while sleeping. No, no, no, no. Made it, but might explain twitching decades later in my hypersensitivity to be easily overstimulated.

You gave yourself autism. Yeah. It's not the vaccines. It's not the vaccines. It's not the vaccines. It's the crazy frog. I was doing 40 hours no talking, which I must say my family were probably quite happy about.

After two hours, my brother dropped a smallish Uamaru stone statue on my finger, so I had to talk to dad to figure out if my finger was broken or not. It wasn't,

but it did go black and my nail almost fell off. Oh my God. Wow. Like that text, you can imagine an black and my nail almost fell off. Oh, my God. Wow. Like that text, you can imagine an overtalker telling you that story. Like it had overtalker energy that entire way through that. Fantastic. Yeah, they were never going to make it the 40 hours.

Oh, someone got so hyped up on the barley sugars that they slipped and broke their wrist. Oh. I mean, it was just sugar. Yeah. Yeah, it was. It was with some colour. I don't collect money from around the neighbourhood

and go straight to the dairy. Had enough money to buy the new Fanta range in the early 2000s. Pineapple was my favourite for the record. That is naughty. Oh, guys, I fear I am a 40-hour famine embezzler. I got hungry and I used the money raised to buy the food that I ate. See, if you cheat, that's on you. You've got to live with that.

But if you rob, that's time. Yeah, and I hope live with that. But if you rob, that's worth it. Yeah. And I hope you pay that money back now. It's a special place in hell. In the form of a donation. Yeah, when you're an adult. Yep. When you're an adult.

Otherwise, karma's going to get you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I used to stay the night over at the school. There was always a handful of kids that ate too many barley sugars and got the raging shits. There was one toilet between 40 children. Really?

Are they a laxative effect? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't know. I'm going to read that one we were saving. I had to use the money I raised during the 40-hour famine to buy the ECP. It's the emergency contraceptive pill.

I was 16 and desperate times called for desperate measures. Wow. I mean, in... Well, that's in your defence. The 40-hour famine is about feeding people in third world countries. We don't need another mouth to feed here.

Yeah. Yeah. So kind of you were just kind of doing a good thing there. Kind of, yeah, yeah. You can't have another mouth to feed. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's contraceptive week here at Fact of the Day. We're taking a mature approach to this and we're trying to be educational. Correcto. Yeah, good. Correct. Well, today I want to cover natural contraceptives used by some cultures around the world

that aren't used, you know, en masse today, but was the old go-to back in the day. Was it just wishful thinking? A prayer? A prayer to the Lord? Back in the day, you wanted the children. Remember? Why? Because you needed more people to work the land. And so many

child mortality rates used to be shocking before these things were invented. And you guys may have heard of these vaccines. Now, you could vaccinate against all sorts of things, like measles for example. And it almost eliminated measles entirely. And now we've got a measles epidemic. I know it's been so retro, all the

contact tracing and the news this week. Like, have you been to the supermarket? Someone with measles was there. Measles, you say? What is this, the 1940s? And we're talked about,

like, you just assume you were vaccinated against measles, but you do need to check these things. Oh my God, yeah. You've got to ask your mum and dad.

I got these, eh? They'll have a look in the plunket book. Yeah. I think I asked mum last time. Yeah, I think the last time there was a measles scare. Mine's in there.

It's so funny, eh, that we're in our 30s and 40s and yet our plunket book is still there. It's in the writing desk of mum and dad's. It shouldn't ever move. No, mine's in the little

filing cabinet with my birth certificate. And then you find the graph about your head size and it's like big, big, big, big, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive, massive. Off the scale. Absolute terror. This is why Vaughan needs the

XXL helmet at the luge. Oh, dude. I know you put his new cowboy hat on and I couldn't see your eyeballs anymore. My whole head went in there. You know what they say about a big head? Large hats. Yeah. Big hats. Huge big knees. Alright, so back, back. We'll just take a couple of steps back about just getting a little public service.

Check if you've had your measles vaccine, because if you haven't, unfortunately you're screwed. I think screwed is the term. Traditional or folk natural substances not medically proven that culture's used as contraceptive. Here at Fact of the Day. The first one is unripe papaya. I love papaya. I don't really know what it is. It's like a soft...

Thank you for your honesty. I don't know, like... How would you describe it? I love a papaya as well. Lots of seeds, like... It's got heaps of... So many seeds in the middle. It's melon-esque.

It's melon-esque. This is... Almost like if a melon and a. Scoob. Oh, yeah. And like a, what's the ones with the little red seeds? A pomegranate. Pomegranate.

No. Yeah. Because you know. I've had papaya salad. Thai papaya salad. Yeah. So papaya salad, you don't have the seeds in it. I'm saying it's like a watermelon and a mango had a baby.

I'd say a rock melon. A rock. See, I'm not a melon gal. Because it's squishy. But it's not a water. Yeah. had a baby. No, I'd say a rock melon. See, I'm not a melon gal. Because it's squishy. But it's not a water... Yeah, they're delicious. No. It's a papaya or a pawpaw. Yeah, pawpaw.

This is what I think I'm growing in the garden. Remember, have I ever told you the story about when I was in Mitre 10 in the garden section and what may have been an ancient Chinese spirit visited me in person? No. What happened? An old Asian man walked up to me when I was in the fruit trees and he tapped one and he didn't speak any English and he went and tapped the tree.

And I said, oh, do you want it? Like, do you need a hand lifting it? Because he was old. Yeah. Like, long beard. Yeah. This sounds like a hallucination. I promise you it happened.

It sounds like he was going to teach you Kung Fu or something. Yeah, dude. That's what I thought was going to happen. He was going to pass on his chi to me. Yeah, his wisdom. Yeah, his wisdom and his chi. And He was going to pass on his chi to me. His wisdom. Yeah, his wisdom and his chi. And I was going to become an ancient master of some sort. And he tapped and he said, very good.

And I was like, huh? He's like, very good. Because I had some fruit trees in the trolley. And he picked it up and put it in my trolley for me. And said, very good. And then turned around and walked away. He didn't work at Mitre 10 because he wasn't wearing an orange polo. Right.

And I was like, okay. And I've planted it. And I'm just waiting now. Right. This was a couple of years ago. So you went ahead and purchasedo. Right. And I was like, okay, and I've planted it and I'm just waiting now. Right. This was a couple of years ago. So you went ahead and purchased this, okay.

I thought you just, if this was a video game, I'm about to unlock some big XP on this guy. Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen here. It's going to be

some sort of legendary fruit. Anyway, I believe it might be a pawpaw. Okay. And so they would use this as a contraception. Yes. Some cultures to prevent

or end early pregnancy, enzymes like pipine that affect hormones and the uterine lining if you eat it when it's not ripe. Seeds and all BTW. Oh. No reliable scientific evidence supports it as a contraceptive method. I'm going to say that at the end of every one of these

because I don't want someone getting pregnant and blaming me. They were like, but I ate the papaya. And you have to pay for their kid's entire life. I've got my own children to pay for. Because they were thumbing in some papaya seeds and thought that would help. Yeah, and be like, but I ate the papaya. And you have to pay for their kids' entire life. I got my own children to pay for it. Because they were thumbing in some papaya seeds

and thought that would help. Yeah, and be like, Vaughan Smith told me this works. Neem is the next on the list. This was a traditional Indian medicine. You use that on plant bugs. Correct.

Neem oil you spray on trees and it stops, I'm pretty sure it stops all insects. Right. Like regardless. So you need, the pollination needs to be done

and then you spray it and it stops on your feijo trees, the pesky guava moth. But it also has- Don't say that word. Spermicidal properties. Okay. Again, this has been tested on animals but is not approved or reliable for human use.

Yes. Covering his bases. Covering my bases. Queen Anne's lace. Oh, I thought he was going to say Queen Anne's chocolate fish and I was like, man, that's why I've ever gone pregnant. Best chocolate fish in the whole of the land. Yum. Queen Anne's Lace. Oh, I thought he was going to say Queen Anne's Chocolate Fish. And I was like, man, that's why I've ever gone pregnant. Best chocolate fish in the whole of the land. Yum.

Do you know what? Across all lands. All lands. It's the best. You can travel all lands. You will not find a bit of chocolate fish. Yum. Raspberry.

The raspberry. Remember we got sent heaps. Yeah. And we just ate them all. Yeah, it's like, come on, Queen Anne. You got us hooked. Yeah. Really.

They got us hooked on the Queen Anne's. I've seen a little bit more. Yeah, I'll pay. I've seen a little bit more. How much? Because did you see Ross Boss eating like an off-brand chocolate fish yesterday? I know. I lost respect as my boss.

It's gone. I know. It's going to be hard to get it back. I want to see if I can give him enough papaya to get rid of him, you know? Yeah. Yep. Flush him out. How much is it going to take?

Queen Anne's Lace, wild carrot seeds, ancient Greek and folk remedy believed to interfere with the implantation. So it's kind of the ECP of natural remedies. And all studies suggest anti-fertility effects, but human data is lacking. Again, dose and safety highly questionable. This has not been approved or reliable for human use. Aren't we lucky we don't live in the ancient times?

Oh, God, yeah. We've got all this. So many options. Yeah. And finally, turmeric and ginger. Oh, yeah. Turmeric and ginger used in folk medicine to regulate cycles. Yes.

And, of course, that would be a way of using birth control is knowing your cycle by regulating it using. So turmeric and ginger are two of the most, like, highly recommended things for polycystic ovarian syndrome, one of which the symptoms is in a regular cycle. You're trying to get regular. So you regulate it with turmeric and ginger. And there's another thing there, but I don't know how to say it,

so I skipped it. Ah, well, we'll move on. I guess we'll never know. That's a fatita. So today's fact of the day for contraceptive workers, there's ancient natural remedies in the form of contraception, but I will again say, none of them have reliable scientific evidence to back them.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Oh, Vaughn. Just hydrate in there. I just hadn't drunk enough water. Last night, Fletch and I went for a little date. Hayley was supposed to come too, but then you, as we've described in the show,

you're not even burning the candle at both ends. It's one of those old candles in an old church where it's kind of like a puddle of wax on the ground and you're like, how is the wick still going? Why is the wick still going? But it is. It is. It's burning bright, baby. And they're lighting more and you're like, no more candles. She's a busy girl. So you didn't end up coming, but I came

into the city, which is very rare. So we were lucky enough to get invited to a show that's like travelled around the world. It's been to Edinburgh. It's called The Dark Show. Is's called The Dark Show. And is it called The Dark Show? No, it's called Dark Flight.

No, Flight and Seance by Field. Dark Field. Christ, you guys are bloody useless. No, in my calendar it said Dark Show. No, Dark Field. Now, so basically there are these two shipping containers. Yeah. And one is called Seance and one is called Flight.

Yeah. Yeah. And you go in. And it's a simulation, right? Yeah. And so I didn't know what to expect. Neither. I just heard that this was fun.

And I don't remember seeing in the publicity email where they're like, would you like to come along to one of these? I didn't see anything that said, if you've got a fear of flying, this isn't for you. Because if you've got a fear of flying, I'll be completely honest with you, this is not. Go to the Seance one. Oh, my God. And you know I love flying. Like when there of flying, I'll be completely honest with you, this is not. Go to the seance one. Oh my god. And you know I love flying. Like when there's

turbulence, I'm like, wee! So, oh my god. There's one called Coma. I'm just looking up the people that made these. The ones that are in Auckland at the moment. A seance and flight. So you go into the flight thing, the doors open up on this 40 foot shipping container and you walk in and the

inside is made to look exactly like a plane. Plane seats, plane windows, plane everything. Seat belts, everything. You sit down. Do you guys sit side by side? We sat and there was a row of three. We left a room in the middle. So that would have been me.

That would have been me. I would have been in the middle. But to be totally honest, there was a time where I was going to put up that armrest and crawl across the fletch just to make sure it was still there. Because it goes completely dark and you've got headphones on. Like pitch black.

Like, dude, like, you know at the end, when you're in a dark room and your eyes adjust to it, you're in there for 20 minutes? Yeah. Your eyes don't adjust, it's too dark. Wow. Yeah. You see nothing.

Apart from my Apple Watch when it lit up and then I panicked and got off. And it, like, with the, like, it does move and it really felt like you were flying and you'd taken off. And you've got headphones in, right, with an audio experience. Yes, fully immersive. The whole idea is it just messes with your mind.

So is it a crash? Is that spoiling it? No, I wouldn't say it's a crash. But I would say, if you've got a fear of flying, again I will reiterate, it's not for you. The seance one's different. You go in and it's like this long table in the middle and you sit in these old like 1920s theatre chairs

and then you put the headphones on and then it goes dark and it's like hold the table and you hold the table and the thing vibrates and you're in the middle

of a seance which the absolute highlight was the group of girls who just lost their mind right at the start one was laughing one was crying

and then she left one had to leave they do give you the option of leaving at different points early on because I did text you guys and say how was it their mind right at the start. One was laughing, one was crying, and then she left. One had to leave. Yeah, it was too much. They do give you the option of leaving at different points early on. Because I did text you guys and say, how was it?

And you were like, scary. Scary. We were scary. Scary. The flight one was definitely my favourite one. Yeah, the flight one was awesome. So, I mean, I love this

a little boys' night out. It's not something you guys get to do often. Just the lads. Unwork related. It's very good. Just the fact that it was complete darkness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Fletch had two drinks and he's like, this is wild. Two's very good. Just the fact that it was complete darkness.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Fletch had two drinks and he's like, this is wild. Two drinks on a Tuesday. And I was like, yep. Yeah, crazy. Imagine that. Imagine having two drinks on a week. What?

I never drink during the week. I was like, what are we doing on a Tuesday? Yeah, neither. I was like, yeah. Yeah, wow. What did you have? You had a beer? You had a couple of beers.

Because it's the lads. Yeah. I will say the whole event was very nice. It was put on. We were invited. I did have an issue to raise. Oh, what is that? Do you?

There was some charcuterie boards put out. Okay. And an old girl kind of gatekept the breads. Oh, yeah, she wouldn't let Vaughn in. She wouldn't let him in on the breads. And Vaughn was so upset about it. I was trying to do that duck and dive thing. I was like, let me get some tzatziki on some bread.

Yeah, I love that. Let me get a cracker and some cheese. She was like, let me get some tzatziki on some bread. Yeah, I love that. Let me get a cracker and some cheese. She kind of put her arm across as if to be like, you can't gate cheat. This isn't your bread. Is this another guest?

But then later on when I was like, are you sure she didn't purchase it? Bingo. I think it was her personal charcuterie board. Oh my God,

and you were just flying around trying to get in. Trying to get in and she's like blocking me and she's like, why is this semi-homeless looking fellow? Because we're in Aotezco in Auckland and some people live rough in the area. Yeah.

She's like, why is this? Because I was in my bush shirt, like Fletch said. Bush shirt, work boots, beanie. In Auckland or the deep bush of New Zealand. Yeah. And I was trying to like get around her to get her cheese and crackers. So that was my thought on the drive home. Yeah.

She was gatekeeping because they werekeeping because it was her jacket report. Yeah. No, it was great. Now, if you want any more info, darkfield.com.au to book tickets to either flight or seance. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's good fun. Yeah, good fun.

Check it out. 14 to 9. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. I've honestly just had the best morning with my genuine friends. God, we talked some crap. But can I just have a little moment to brag here? Please. Once again.

Once again. And look, I've actually taken six weeks off the gym and then Lees Mills didn't even notice. I think you're glowing. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know what it is. What else has changed?

Thank you. What are you eating? Fish oil. I've been, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just water. I said which. She's hydrating. No, no, just water. I said witch. She's hydrating. You're hydrating.

You finally got onto the water bars. I've been telling you for years. Yeah, I've been having a cup a day. I'm hydrated. But your morning just got better. My morning just got better. I received an email from Les Mills, the biggest gym in the country,

asking me once again, and we've talked about this, to join them as one of their fitness models. Wow. As they film, thank you, as they film their new content, they film these classes with all the, and they just only ask hot members to be involved in the filming. I don't, yeah.

Kia ora, Hayley. Wow, so personalised. Be part of something special. We're inviting a limited number of members to join us for an exclusive class shoot at Les Mills Auckland City. On Thursday, 15th of May, we're creating an audio-led campaign. Is it the same MLI to Scott that they send to every member? Hey, but can I say, is it the same MLI that I do to every member?

I've got two hotties in my eyesight here. I've got two absolute tens. I've got two tens. I mean, I don't know. You could just say only you because mine says I've got a 20. Because mine says Kia ora Carl. No, mine says Kia ora Hayley. It's exactly the same email. I thought they would have put together a curated

list of tens. Do you think we're a Les Mills ten? Do you think we're in it? I think you're Les Mills tens. No, we're not Les Mills tens. We're not Les Mills tens. We've been, we text each other when there's a Les Mills ten. Yeah. And we say, come to the main floor, there's a Les Mills ten. I wouldn't have said that out loud. Really? Well, I can't take it back now.

Can't take it back now. I would have kept that one under the hat. Right. Do I need to put my hat in the ring? You're not even a Les Mills member, let alone a Les Mills 10. Can I show you this shirt? Wow. Wow.

Okay. You need to put that photo up. I don't. Can you like accidentally air drop it to me and I'll accidentally upload it? Wards just showed Hayley and I quite a thirst trap. Wow. I don't really know what to say.

I caught a mouse in a trap last night. I've had a mouse issue. Oh my God, I had to pick up a mouse corpse this morning. I felt so masked doing it too. Didn't even quite care. Wait, what made you? How have we just pivoted? You said trap and I did a quick pivot.

How have we pivoted from you modelling at the gym to mice? I think we're all over the show and it's giving big undiagnosed ADHD.

Well, I would link them also being like you modelling at the gym causes eyes to bulge and when this brand new trap hit the mouse on the back of the neck it also caused his eyes

to bulge. Oh, yuck. No, mine had, Rolly had eaten the corpse out of the neck, it also caused his eyes to bulge. Oh, yuck. No, mine had, Rolly had eaten the corpse out of the middle and it was just the head and tail held together by the spine. Oh, you're hitting the good stuff. Yeah, and as I-

He's not getting enough wet meat because you only feed him dry biscuits. And that's why he looks cute. That's a bit like me only eating the jelly tip on the jelly tip ice cream. Yeah, yeah, and he's like, get rid of the boring bit. I quite often just throw the ice cream

in the stick on the floor. You pick the chocolate off the meal, right? Done with that. Done with that. Like me and a crunchy, I'll just nibble the chocolate off and just chuck the crunchy on the floor. Then he just puts the Hokey Pokey. He's like, done.

Done with that. I'm basically a cat. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Message from my mother. Please, let's hear from her. Just moments ago, 8.23am. What did she say? Today is National Chicken Dance Day.

That's her first message to you of the day. That's beautiful. I only get the important message. She doesn't fluff around with filler. Long is looking beautiful, that kind of stuff. It's all filler. Birthday's forgotten, but Chicken Dance Day is here. It's still there.

National Chicken Dance Day. So I'm just looking at the chicken dance Wikipedia. Which exists, by the way. The original name of the song was Dear Entente Dance, composed by a Spanish, not Spanish, why would it be called Werner Thomas if it was Spanish, Swiss accordionist. And it was originally called the duck dance. Because, you know, in the dance where you wiggle your bum, chickens don't do that. That's a duck move.

Oh, yeah, okay. So then there's some carryover from the original dance, which is apparently lost to the animals of time. But it says the dance step has five discrete moves. The first four moves are done in place and are repeated throughout each verse. The dancer lifts up both hands in the air, opens and closes them, like operating a hand puppet, simulating a chicken's vocalizations, four times each, once on each beat.

I've just gone ham. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. And then the dancer tucks their hands into their armpits and flaps them like a chicken four times, once on each beat. The dancer then wiggles their shoulders or hips slash tail feathers. See, that's duck stuff there. While descending downward for two beats, and then the dancer claps four times.

Why is today, do they say why we celebrate this on the 14th of May? I don't know. We just had to pick a day. I think we had to pick a day. Arm dances like a chicken apparently. And then as the fifth move. The pair lock arms facing opposite directions and spin. They may switch arms and directions halfway through the refrain.

Oh my God, fun. Can we play it? So I want everybody, we're just going to do, as the nation, we're going to do the chicken dance. Okay my God, fun. Can we play it? So I want everybody, we're just going to do, as the nation, we're going to do the chicken dance. Right, fantastic. If you're in your car,

one hand on the wheel at all times, please. So May 14th is recognised as Dance Like a Chicken Day that is celebrated a day to dance. So that's at the bottom of the thing.

Perfect. Well, you've got some chickens. Go pet them today. I will. Do you think our show sponsor animates making happy happen for pets through chicken toys? They've got chicken food.

I don't know. I would say for show sponsor animates Making Happy Happen for Pets. They've got chicken toys? They've got chicken food. Oh, do they all? I don't know. I would say for show sponsor animates, proud sponsors of the show. Making Happy Happen for Pets. If they ordered in some chicken T-Rex arms, I'd get them. Because people always tag me in the ones where you clip this thing around the chicken and it makes it look like it's got little arms. Yeah, cute. Can you play the chicken dance, please?

But I need to get around to ordering them. Okay, ready? Fletch, we all G? Yep, we're good. We all G? I'm standing. Oh, you've got to play the chicken dance, please? But I need to get around to ordering them. Okay, ready? Fletch, we all G? Yep, we're good. We all G? I'm just checking. I'm standing. Okay.
