Starting point is 00:00:57 Yeah. Hey. Great German there, Vaughan. Great German. Thanks. I didn't realise that you took German at high school. I didn't. No, it's just natural. It's just all that you took German at high school. I didn't. No, it's just natural.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's just all that you've picked up from World War II movies. Yeah. Holt. Holt. I know that one. Ja wohl, Kommandant. It's pretty much it. It's a lot of Nazi stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Yeah, it is, unfortunately. I'm looking back on it now. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Sorry, I was just flirting with Warn and it felt funny it was yuck it was pretty
Starting point is 00:01:31 two way yuck it was pretty grim now here is why now we've debated long debated the pavlova who invented
Starting point is 00:01:38 the pavlova New Zealand or Australia and we both claim it but who actually was it New Zealand oh great
Starting point is 00:01:44 okay fuel I don't know I'm just saying that actually was it? New Zealand. Oh, great. Okay, fuel. I don't know. I'm just saying that because I'm from New Zealand. I know, same. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've just said, of course it's ours.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Of course. Don't be ridiculous. We'll never back down. The new one. Did you just say ridiculous? Yeah. Don't be ridiculous. No, don't you be ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Now, the new debate is who invented the flat white? Do you know Australia has been trucking along this whole time assuming it was them? No. No.
Starting point is 00:02:07 No. It was us. No. It was us. And we invented instant coffee. Yeah, and Invercargill. And Invercargill. It was a hot wreck.
Starting point is 00:02:14 We actually did. So a lot of debate going on between coffee and cafe owners, Australia and New Zealand, about who did it. Because a lot of Australians coming to New Zealand
Starting point is 00:02:24 being like, oh my god I had no idea that these crazy Kiwis are claiming the flat white what? and we were like we didn't even know
Starting point is 00:02:30 that you thought you'd done it I had a look online and it kind of is a bit of the Pavlova situation where no one really knows it was created in the 1980s yeah
Starting point is 00:02:41 oh come on it's when we don't know about the Pavlova because it was invented and got its name in the midst of a world war that was tearing the place apart at the seams. Yeah. Something invented in the 80s. Someone's like,
Starting point is 00:02:51 Dunno. Dunno. Come on! So Australia claims that Alan Preston, who was a cafe owner in Sydney, he put the term flat white on his menu in 1985 at the Moors Espresso Bar. That's his claim in 1985 at a Moors espresso bar. That's his claim.
Starting point is 00:03:07 He argues that that was like him. New Zealand claims that Derek Townsend and Daryl Arles from Auckland served flat whites in their cafe in 1981, so earlier. Right. And then another barista, Fraser McInnes, is a barista in Wellington, says it was accidentally created in 1989 when a cappuccino failed. 1989?
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah, 89, when a cappuccino failed, like it wasn't frothy enough, hence, flat white. Right. Because we didn't get the frothy part.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Because what is a flat white? It's just coffee, milk, and a little bit of foam on the top. whereas the cappuccino is more of the thick foam. You pour the through milk through the coffee shot, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how you do the art.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yeah. Fern heart. Yeah. Diddle. Sometimes you see a diddle. Yeah, sometimes it's a diddle. But then a, what did you say? A cappuccino is just hardcore froth.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Froth. With the coffee at the bottom, right? So was it always cappuccinos since like Italian days or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. You get the frothy coffee. Otherwise, you're just having a coffee with milk. Cafes in the 80s would what?
Starting point is 00:04:11 Have a barista machine for cappuccinos. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Froth the milk. Do their espresso shot. Put in the froth. And then one day it failed. And became a flat white.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And became a flat white. And then we were like, that's way better. Less foam. Yeah. But honestly, Australians, they're really upset with us. So yeah, the steamed milk, the milk can go milk foam and steamed milk. And flat white is just the steamed milk. Whereas the cappuccino.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Hang on a second. Wikipedia is saying in the 1950s in England. A flat white. What? No, no, no, no. So we're only claiming it from the 80s. Yeah, but they're saying, so a coffee historian, a coffee historian
Starting point is 00:04:54 says. But did they call it a flat white? Because Americanos, what? God, there's a documentary about this. Oh God. I'd watch. I think I'd watch it actually. And then we all know Americanos are what? God, there's a documentary about this. Oh, God. I'd watch. I think I'd watch it, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And then we all know Americanos were, because that's how Americans like their coffee, black, but not filtered, because filtered coffee's trash. That's so trash. And then espresso was invented by Sabrina Carpenter. Yes. Just recently. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah. Is that me, espresso? Do we know when the mocha was invented? Yeah. Probably the gays. That's the fact of the day about mocha. Yeah. Is that the espresso? Do we know when the mocha was invented? Yeah. Remember that's the fact of the day about mocha. Yeah. I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Remember we did the fact of the day about the invention of the mocha and it was because it was in like the Middle East because, and it's named after the port that it was invented in because the chocolate and the coffee always went through there and one day some genius. Oh, they got mixed up. I think the two boats crashed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Even the port of mocha. Yeah. The Yemen. That boats crashed. Yeah, and mixed up. Yemeni port of Mokka. Yeah. The Yemen. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, can we absolutely just tie haul on the bombing of Yemen? They invented the Mokka Chena. Yeah, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Let's calm down. Let's calm down. That's an entry-level coffee. That's what I used to have before I became a man. And then we graduate from it. I'm sorry. I was drinking my Mokka Chena, and then one day I put my hand down my pants,
Starting point is 00:06:01 and I went, oh, there's a willy down there. I'm a man. Big willy. All I ever want. Yeah, grow up and get a real coffee like me and iced oat latte. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. People, they love their pets. I love my cat.

Starting point is 00:07:06 But what if you get your pet cloned and it comes back with its personalities? It might have been Lolly's rough start in a plastic bag that made him the perfect companion.

Silly little pole today is do you care about the height of your partner? This is a big deal to you.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Is height something that you consider? Whilst searching for a soulmate? Well, a couple of years ago, right, we started standing our short kicks. Yes, we did. It's always been a thing online, like Tinder and stuff. Guys might add a couple of inches. Women might filter out guys below a certain height. Yeah, which, oh, it sucks.
Starting point is 00:10:13 You're missing out. I remember there was a few years ago, Tinder joked about verifying your height with a photo, and people were outraged. It was a joke. You take a photo of you next to a coin. Yeah, it was a joke. I was going to take a photo of you walking into a service station.
Starting point is 00:10:25 You know how they've got the little coloured bands in case you were a rubber. A 2014 study in the Journal of Family Issues looked at the importance of male height. 57.1% of women
Starting point is 00:10:37 indicated that a man's height was important to them. On the other hand, only 40% of men said that a woman's height mattered. I guess it's a very old animal thing of the big male
Starting point is 00:10:49 protector. Isn't there a sweet spot with height? Like once you get a bit tall, the back and the your life, you get a bit lanky. You never really see a really old tall guy, do you? Exactly. He would always say this to Aaron, like, oh my god, he's so tall, it's so nice. And you're like, that sucks, man.

Starting point is 00:14:00 Amanda says, hmm, I'd like them to be a little bit taller, mainly for when I'm in heels. Top of their game. But it's definitely... A D1 baby. Used in online communities to refer to individual perceived as being at the top of their game. Oh, okay. So this is Gen Z slang.

Starting point is 00:14:22 Mira said, ain't no way I'm with the short king. That's so rude to the short kings. Louise, I'm a 6'4", 1' girl. I spend half my life tacking one down that could make me feel tiny. Tracking. She said tacking. Well, it feels like she meant to say tracking. I spend half my life tacking one down.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Maybe she likes to tack them down. Like with those little tacks. Thumb tacks. Yeah, right. It's terrible, but I'm bumble and hinge. I swipe left on any guy under 180 centimetres. Maybe if everything else looks really hot, I might go 178.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Oh! But, like, you could be swiping away your next husband. Also, 178's tall. Also, probably why I'm still single at 33. Yeah, well, there you go. You're all the same size lying down. Hey-o! Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Common mis... No, not in his misconception, but common perception is that men enjoy dating younger women and typically, this is heteros, heteronormative, boring farts. The majority of people listening right now. Yeah, boring.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Everyone's a bit gay. Live life. I think we know we're boring farts. The majority of people listening right now. Everyone's a bit gay. Live life. I think we know we're boring. Yeah. You know. Yeah. You're a bit obvious. Me just distancing
Starting point is 00:15:34 myself from it. Yeah. We've got a long, very long, long history. Yeah. Us heteros. Yeah, you do.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Of putting a whole lot of rules in place and just boring. Yeah, I know. So the common belief would be that men prefer dating younger women and women prefer an older man. Yeah. And then there's been this major study that's been done in the UK that confirmed this idea that was like yes, when people were asked like what would your ideal age be? Most men like shot a little bit younger.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Most women want a little bit older. And then the real stats are that on average, men are 4.2 years older than women in their marriages in general. Right. So that's like kind of puts it, confirms it, right? Did you just do a little burp? Did you? I thought you burped. I was about to say, did you burp?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Was you that burped? I just had this little ear thing. I was like, is that a burp? I was like, yep. Just do it right into burp. Did you? I thought you burped. I was about to say, did you burp? Was you that burped? I just had this little ear thing. I was like, is that a burp? I was like, yep. Just do it right into the mic. Why not? Anyway, so this study was like, okay, these are the stats. Men like blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And then the marriage numbers agree with it. But then they did this study based on first dates, and people had to put their age ranges of what they were happy to do. And then based on the feedback, women were actually enjoying the younger men. Right. Across the board. So they were like, I'm interested in older men, but I'll have a first date with a younger guy. Their enjoyment of the date, they enjoyed the dates with the younger men so much more than the older men.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Do the younger men, do they say why do the younger men like treat them like a queen or these young guys have got mummy issues. They just don't have a bad back. They don't have a bad back. So they rated it on enjoyment, physical attraction and interest in a second date. It was quite broad.
Starting point is 00:17:20 But all of the younger people, all the women preferred their dates with the younger boys. I actually have never dated anyone younger than me. Was that you thinking or lying? Thinking. Because it sounded as you were taking your time that you were lying. No, no, no. I just wanted to make sure that what I was saying was true.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I've always liked an older man. Yeah. Yeah. Always. I know someone in the dating pool and she's like mid-30s and she keeps getting messages from matches on these apps. Yeah. And she keeps getting matches with guys.
Starting point is 00:17:52 And it says they're like 30s. And then in the first couple of messages, they're like, I just want to let you know, I'm 19, but I really love older women. I really love older women. And older women won't let you get that initial foot in the door. Oh, because they're not matching with that age? Yeah. Okay, right.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah, so these guys are pumped up. Don't say, yeah. I've had a DM on Instagram before from a young gentleman saying he would love to explore with an older woman. And I was like. There's got to be a better word because that's what my friend didn't like being called an older woman. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Well, what do you say then? What do you say? A more experienced woman? Historically, I would say I'd love to have some experience with an old spinster such as myself. No, no, no. Well, what do you say then? What do you say? More experienced woman? I think historically, I historically would say I'd love to have some experience with an old spinster such as yourself. Spinster such as yourself.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I don't know. I don't know how you would say it, how you would be like, I'm into it. Someone more experienced. No, that sounds wrong as well. I would, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Should we ask ChatGP too? How? What's a nicer way of saying older woman? Of saying older woman. Of saying older woman to someone you want to have. You'd say distinguished gentleman. What about a distinguished? What sort of guy doesn't want to be called a distinguished gentleman?
Starting point is 00:18:54 But also if that's coming from a younger lady, it's like shooting a fish in a barrel anyway, isn't it? I don't know. I don't think there's any way that a man could ever approach me and be like, I'd absolutely love to have a go with you as an older woman. As an older woman. A nicer, more flattering way is, okay, respectfully, you could say a sophisticated woman such as yourself.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Okay, what about sophisticated? No. A mature beauty such as yourself. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not mature beauty. Way to get so much worse, JVT. JVT is not yet finished. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:19:38 Might I be so bold as to ask you a seasoned siren? Or a timeless temptress to take on a younger man. Why is it doing all this alliteration? Oh, I don't know. This is under playful and flirtatious headline. Oh, okay. Captivating woman. Oh, captivating woman.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I feel captivating woman's actually really ticked my box there. A woman who knows what she wants. A woman who knows what she wants. Yeah, okay, that's it. That's it. That's it. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.

Starting point is 00:22:31 and their song Euphoria. Oh, gosh. Oh, it's trap. It's trap. It's trap. Okay, yeah. I don't know if we're winning, guys. Number two, we're slowing it down.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Okay. Slowing it right down with the Pavlovers. Wow, that's good. I like that a lot. And their song, Meringue My Bell. Okay. It's kind of poppy, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Came over to my house and meringue my bell. Rang, rang, rang, rang, rang my bell. Terrible. Terrible. I'm embarrassed for this whole country. And number one on the list of the top six Kiwi bands and their songs for Eurovision 2026 is the Glow Worm Disco. Yeah. And their song, The Waitomo My Heart.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Oh, that's so good, Vaughn. Yeah. The Waitomo My Heart. Wow, that's so good. There's a hole in the ground and you're going to go down. Find the white tomo my heart. You're going to get down. There's going to be drippy sounds.
Starting point is 00:23:36 I'm having a real appreciation now. The white tomo my heart. I've got a real appreciation now for actual songwriters. Yeah, me too. Play ZM's Flesh One and Hayley. Now, Dame Jacinda Ardern. I always forget Dame Jacinda Ardern. Yeah, I refuse to give her the title.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Nice try. She made me. Nice try trying to be a right wing. She made me give a jab. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She stabbed me. She was talking to the New Zealand Herald, my preferred news source,
Starting point is 00:24:03 about realising that on the back of the Milo tin, it says serving size. I don't think she talked to the New Zealand Herald. They published the article. She just put this on her Instagram story
Starting point is 00:24:14 because I saw this. Oh, sorry. Nestle have talked to the Herald. They've chimed in. I beg your pardon. So, yeah, Nestle then talked to Herald
Starting point is 00:24:22 and said that the serving size of six teaspoons is the recommended serving size, which is what's on the back of the tin, which is what Jacinda Ardern was talking about saying. Yeah, and she kicked it all off with this video. Yeah. She's like, six? Yeah. She posted online the photo of the back of the tin, put six teaspoons of Milo powder into a mug and add 200 mils of hot water and stir. And she was like sex! I was only
Starting point is 00:24:48 ever told I could make Milo with one or two teaspoons of powder. Yeah. Well yeah because you'd use all the Milo. Yeah. And then everyone was just kicking off in these comments. We must have gone through so much Milo and I think we had that, what was that other brand of Milo that was cheaper? Born Vita. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Maybe we had more of that. Did you guys ever get a Nesquik? Oh, that was posh. Every now and then we got a Nesquik. I asked my Nana once because the Milo ran out when I was staying with her
Starting point is 00:25:11 and she'd always, I don't want to sound spoiled but I woke up every morning to a hot Milo ready to go. Oh, that's spoiled. Rita was like textbook grandma.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Oh. Yeah. Like if I'd gone to her house one day with a basket of muffins and into her room and there was a basket of muffins and into her room and there was a wolf in
Starting point is 00:25:26 the bed in her disguise, I would have known straight away because the wolf wouldn't have immediately plied me with lollies
Starting point is 00:25:32 and a hot chocolate. So I said, can we try Nesquik? And she's like, absolutely. And she got it
Starting point is 00:25:38 for me. Stunning. Some of them might be listening now. There were seven other Smith grandchildren.
Starting point is 00:25:44 She would have done it for none of you. None of you. I was the king. Some of them might be listening now. There were seven other Smith grandchildren. She would have done it for none of you. Yeah. None of you. I was the king. Nesquik after school was too easy to eat by the spoonful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I'm just trying to. You wouldn't even put it up. You wouldn't even put it in like a drink. You'd just eat it from the tin. If you're listening now, because we're getting a couple of text messages in. Yeah. I just like to sort of like take the pulse of the nation just as a quick sidebar.
Starting point is 00:26:06 What was your Milo order? Yeah, what was your Milo order? Mine was dad would make them. We didn't get it all the time. It was a treat. My parents were a little bit like that. We didn't get the nice fun stuff. But you were right home to a chakuta every border.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I sure did. So let's not plead poverty too much. It was really tough. Were you just trying to be relatable for a second? Yeah. Okay. My mummy and daddy didn't always buy me Milo. But when I did, Dad made the Milo, so he was having a Milo,
Starting point is 00:26:29 and it was always cold. I didn't like them hot. I always wanted cold, four teaspoons, not stirred in. There's a name for that. Yeah, you always needed more Milo for a cold milk. Yeah, yeah, because then you could eat it. Because it would never stir in and dissolve. And soupy it, make it sloppy soupy.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Kids are listening now being like, put it in the magic bullet. We didn't have that technology. Oh, right. There was one huge food processor that we weren't allowed to touch. A magic bullet with Milo and cold milk. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, that would actually mix it, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:58 Yeah. That would be nice. Because we were part of the swim club. And after swim club, you bend your togs in tower and you go inside for a Milo. Yeah. But it was Milo, one teaspoon, water, no milk.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Oh, yeah, yeah. It was always the hot water Milo. Yeah, no, no, no. The swim club Milo. Yeah. And it was in an, it was in an R-crop glass. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Of course it was. Yeah. Well, my mum has messaged saying I would have all Milo, no milk, no water. So just raw dog powder. I said, you just raw dog powder? I'm pretty sure I would.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Oh, my God. No, your jelly crystals. Jelly reflex is zero. I would raw dog powder? I'm pretty sure I would. I mean, one of your belly reflexes is zero. I would have eaten jelly crystals out of the box after school. Oh, yes. Yum. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Why weren't you getting more smacks for this? Everything was better raw.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Two minute noodles. I'm going to eat the brick. Oh, I could never. I could never. No, you had to smash the brick in the packet. Yeah. Then sprinkle the. Then sprinkle shake.
Starting point is 00:27:45 So it was like chips more than... No water. Some of the comments on Jacinda's original post, you had as many teaspoons as your mum told you you were allowed, not how many teaspoons Milo tells you to have. Six teaspoons is madness. That's what, like three desserts? I know, but then when Nestle was talking to Harold about it,
Starting point is 00:28:00 they said, yes, that's one recipe, but also three's enough. But they put it on their tin. Also, Nestle and all the chocolate people, they're like what are recommended serving sizes. It's like half a square. Yeah. Get out
Starting point is 00:28:15 of here. Somebody's messaged in wanting to know if we ever had Ovaltine. Oh, that was the super pov. That was more povo than Bordeaux. Was it? Yeah, yeah, Ovaltine. Povo. My Milo order was leave the packet open so it eventually went hard and then you could just break a chunk of Milo off and eat it.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Oh, okay, yum. Because the moist you would get in, right? We've got Milo here at work, eh? You're saying we should take the lid off? I just haven't had a Milo for how long was it since I've had a Milo? Did you put sugar in with your Milo? No, we weren't allowed. No.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We didn't. Oh my God, when my dad would make hot ones, I just remember he'd make hot ones and then he'd put condensed milk in it. Oh, Craig. Oh, Craig, that's a good one. It's a bit of a Vietnamese coffee vibe. Yeah, Milo, hot water, bit of milk, and then condensed milk. Actually, maybe if you only had a couple of teaspoons of Milo and it was a hot water
Starting point is 00:29:06 and just a little bit of milk, you might need one sugar. Yeah, yeah. Trust me. We were allowed one Milo, one sugar. Yep. Someone texted and said
Starting point is 00:29:13 Milo is trash. I actually think that this texture is trash. So I just want to let that be known. That you're trash. Do they not like hot drinks? Because I know some people that think Milo is trash
Starting point is 00:29:21 but they also think all hot drinks are trash. Yeah, I don't like hot drinks. That's why a moccaccino is the best drink well you know we invented and trademarked
Starting point is 00:29:31 well the trademark will have absolutely lapsed and probably you can't trademark really because it already had Milo in the title but the Milo Chino back in the day
Starting point is 00:29:37 was it Milo Chino instant coffee oh my god I remember yeah yum yeah make a Milo Chino Milo Chino you know back in the day
Starting point is 00:29:44 well six is a lot it's because these days will never know how to struggle. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, the CEO of HubSpot. I don't know what HubSpot is, but she has gone viral because- She, I pictured a man. Wow. HubSpot.

Now, for those that don't know, I don't. Sunday scaries is like, it usually happens if you've had quite a big busy weekend
Starting point is 00:30:29 and you've probably drunk a bit and you're not feeling great and then you're like dreading the week ahead and you've got a bit of anxiety. I don't even think it needs to be drinking though, does it? It's just like maybe you didn't get everything done that you thought or you've got a big thing on. Big week. And it's just like, I actually really like these two days
Starting point is 00:30:43 where I wasn't behest to the man. That's right, that's right. I get them sometimes when you're just like, especially recently I've had so much on. I've never had it.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I look forward to hanging with you guys every single day. Thank you. You're not the scary bit. Producer girlies, Sunday scaries. Yeah, look,
Starting point is 00:30:58 I would say that I get the Saturday scaries because I have to work on a Sunday. What are you working on Sunday? She starts putting the show together for Monday. Oh, but not like you don't go to work for like
Starting point is 00:31:07 eight hours. No, but I work for definitely like two to three hours. Oh, wow. I'm sorry that I didn't realise that and I acknowledge that right here and now. Wow, Hayley, just realising what Carlin does for us. Wow, man. Yeah. Yesterday I just did nothing. Wow. That's crazy. And then I flicked
Starting point is 00:31:24 prep away at 9.30 and it was like, there you go, Carwin. Deal with that. Yeah, probably when I was a bit younger and like starting in the office and you get that real like, okay, what's on the calendar this week?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah. What am I going to wear? It was when you were for Tony Street, hey? Exactly. Because no one, she's a bitch. Yeah, no one bitch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Really a horrid, not understanding of any personal situations. No, no. Just one of the nastiest people in the company. You know we play in the toilets here. She does work. She bumped my car this morning when we were arriving, so I couldn't get out.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I couldn't know, but I had to climb out and go out the passage. And of course, for those that don't know, we are being facetious. She's literally one of the nicest people you'll ever meet in your life. Sort of like badly nice. Yeah, like, I need to see. I wish she was nastier. You know how someone is always, always, like, super on,
Starting point is 00:32:10 and then you hear later on that they have these dark periods? Yeah. I'm wondering, like, what is she doing? I don't know. What's the demon? Well, to be honest, Carwen, you kind of touched on her secret. This is the CEO that's gone viral for the Cure to the Sunday Scaries. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:24 She's working the weekend. Oh, I hate her. Shut up. Why don't you shut up? So she says, You just put in the Scaries earlier. She says, I won't work late on a Friday or a Saturday, but I'll still work on a Saturday and a Sunday.
Starting point is 00:32:43 It's a no from me. Yeah, but she's a CEO. I'm good. She's a CEO. She's probably getting paid. You know, but she's a CEO. I'm good. She's a CEO. She's probably getting paid, you know, what's the average CEO get paid? Millions. Millions. 50 times their average worker?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah. Well, maybe you should be working Saturdays and Sundays. Yeah, maybe you should. I would say this is poor advice. Yeah, no one's coming into the office on a Saturday and a Sunday if they've got a new entrance job. Yeah, just to get ahead of the Sunday scary
Starting point is 00:33:06 so that Monday's not as bad. Absolutely not. No, thank you. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Now, I'm just going to issue a public service announcement here
Starting point is 00:33:18 where there will be no names mentioned. Before the show, I sat in the Go F Yourself corner because that's where I sit. Yeah, just before 6am. Yep, just sitting there. Bright and early. Yeah, just before 6 a.m. Just sitting there.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Bright and early. Show locked in. We're locked in. We've caught up. Yeah. We've high-fived each other. Man. Said our pre-show prayers.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Had a little goss about the weekend. Had a goss, yeah. A little pre-show prayer. And then I treat myself to a little scroll on the gram. As you were wont to do. And that's when I'm like, I'm pretty sure that person didn't mean to repost that reel yeah this is a thing now
Starting point is 00:33:49 I have not yet done this to my knowledge but we would have seen the repost button is right below the send to your chums button which I will send a reel to my chums that I would never on God's graph repost the stuff that we send each other.
Starting point is 00:34:05 We are going down. If you reposted any of that, it would be a press release. So I thought, oh no. This person I know, I consider them a good friend.
Starting point is 00:34:21 It narrows down the field somewhat. But I'm like, there's no way they meant to share this so i'm straight on the blower okay mate screencap mate did you mean to share this this person i expected not to be awake at as we mentioned prior to six in the morning holy shit how do i undo this i was like i don't know because it hasn't happened to me yet so the re it's so
Starting point is 00:34:47 it's just it's where my thumb rests yeah when I'm not if I'm watching a reel and I've just got one of a dog
Starting point is 00:34:52 oh my god it's being euthanized I just opened up reels I don't know I'm so sorry that's dark that's dark man it's dark
Starting point is 00:35:00 why is your algorithm feeding you euthanasia dogs I don't know but my thumb is hovering over it. It's so easy. My Reels algorithm will feed me euthanasia content, but they're sort of like 21.
Starting point is 00:35:14 From Asia originally. Oh, no, that's euthanasia. No, this is euthanasia. Oh, okay. Different algorithm. Since the repost button launched on Instagram, this has been happening. Our friend James reposted a funny meme.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Oh, my God, yes. One that you would send to friends but never, ever, ever post. Never publicly put your name beside. Yeah, but I was like, well, maybe he did mean to share that. He's got a good sense of humor. I was like, did he? And then he said to me, he's like, oh, maybe he did mean to share that. He's got a good sense of humour. No, no. I was like, did he? And then he said to me, he's like, oh my God, I'm mortified.
Starting point is 00:35:49 It's been up for 16 hours. Why did no one say anything? It's almost as bad as posting a photo or a video that you don't want people to see. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Because this is an internal photo video. This isn't a, I think this is funny. This is a dark part of the brain.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tick, tick, tick. So this man that we won't name had reposted a- I wasn't even going to put a gender on it. Okay. Well, it's a... I think this is funny. This is a dark part of the brain. So this man that we won't name had reposted a... I wasn't even going to put a gender on it. Okay. Well, it's a man. It's a man. Posted quite a sexy video of a woman... Scantily clad. Scantily clad woman dancing.
Starting point is 00:36:15 No, the one was something about when I'm your nurse. Far out. She was an actual nurse. They look like official scrubs to me. Right. When I'm your nurse, and then when I'm your nurse, and then she is not in the scrubs anymore. Yeah. But obviously not nude, because Instagram will allow
Starting point is 00:36:33 all manner of hate crimes and horrific videos of car crashes where someone's definitely died, but no nipples. No female nipples. Yeah, female nipples. Male nipple? Male nipple's fine. Oh, absolutely fine. The female. The female. The offensive nature of the female nipples male nipple male nipple's fine oh absolutely fine the female
Starting point is 00:36:45 the female the offensive the offensive nature of the female nipple but a PSA just watch just watch for that share button
Starting point is 00:36:54 because it's there that is so close it's going to get a lot of people in trouble and well done Vaughn what a friend Vaughn to the rescue he's a modern day hero
Starting point is 00:37:04 play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I love an official information act request. How good, eh? We've got to start putting more of these in. Yeah. I know, it's great, isn't it? Because they have to tell you. And that's the thing,
Starting point is 00:37:19 if it's a government organisation, they have to by law tell you what you've requested. I think they take a while to get back to you, but a journalist has done this for stuff requested with the New Zealand police. Details of incidents where materials or items were mistakenly left unaccompanied in public by the police. They should not be doing this. Now, look, we've all left stuff on the roof of our car and driven away.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Oh my gosh. Imagine you're getting ready for work or you're out somewhere and you're just, I don't know, slowly loading the car. You've got, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:52 all the time in the world. It always goes on the roof. You don't even tell me. I used to have three children. Yeah. And a boy. I know, and I miss them so much.
Starting point is 00:38:00 But then imagine just, you know, halfway through that you get a call saying you have to come right now. Yeah, yeah, totally. Like this is what happens.
Starting point is 00:38:07 And you go. You were just resting your gun on the roof of the car and before you know it you've driven away and your gun's nowhere to be found.
Starting point is 00:38:14 That's happened. What? Twice. Twice? That has happened twice. Wait, did any of the New Zealand police had guns?
Starting point is 00:38:20 A police Glock pistol was found by a member of the public after it fell from the roof of the police car when it had been mistakenly left there. Do they get in trouble? Because you'd be able to see whose gun it was, right? I'd say so.
Starting point is 00:38:32 It's got a holster. Also, police items left in public, including guns, breathalysers. Apparently, they might leave those on the roof of the car accidentally or people steal them at roadside checks. Wait. How do you steal them? Breathe into this and you just wait until you find it. I don't know why I didn't drive away. Notebooks, documents, cell phone,
Starting point is 00:38:50 and a laptop was also left on the roof of a car. And, you know, they must get calls. They're urgent. People's lives are in danger. They have to go. Jesus. Oh, where's the laptop? Forgot to put it in the boot.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Oh, my God. But, yeah, it's happened. I've definitely left, I mean, I've left a handbag on there. I've left lunch on the boot. Oh my God. But yeah, it's happened. I've definitely left, I mean, I've left a handbag on there. I've left lunch on the roof. I've left water bottles, but I've left a phone twice. One, I got to my destination
Starting point is 00:39:15 and it was on there. It was fine. Was it like a silicon cover? Like a silicon case? Yeah, they grip. They're a nightmare getting in and out of pockets. Oh yeah, I know. That's why I'm a raw dog.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I've been raw dogging for a few months. It's disgusting. You've got to be so careful. Your phone's so chipped and gross. I know. It's a character. It's got character like its owner. And then the second time I did it, I backed over it.
Starting point is 00:39:36 I must have broken it. Oh gosh. That sounds quite convenient for insurance, doesn't it? Oh yeah. It sounds like such an insurance fraud. I left it on the thing and did it, but no. No, I did. And this is what we want to ask this morning,
Starting point is 00:39:47 is what have you left on the roof of the car? Yeah, great. Because, you know, we all do it. I wonder if someone has left a baby carrier. No, we wouldn't have driven far. But baby brain or lack of sleep. Like, oh, my God. I'm going to put her up on there.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Yeah. And I'm going to open up the back seat to clip her in. What was I clipping in? I'll just put my handbag in the back. I don't know if people who did that will want to ring and admit it to be totally honest. I'm going to put her up on there. Yeah. And I'm going to open up the back seat to clip her in. What was I clipping in? I'll just put my handbag in the back. I don't know if people who did that will want to ring and admit it to be totally honest. I'm thinking more groceries. What about a butter chicken?
Starting point is 00:40:13 Oh, you'd be gutted. You're driving along and you're like, the back window's orange? The hell's that? Those are seagulls, bloody. You've got the squids. Would you put the wipers on if a butter chicken went all over your windscreen?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Yeah, just for a laugh. And then have the chicken chunks like... I want to drive. Now I've got a dream of driving my car through sort of a waterfall of butter chicken. Same, same. I'm imagining a drive-through wash. Yes. But somebody's funny joke is they've poured the butter chicken sauce in.
Starting point is 00:40:39 And then it'll wind down the window and be like... And then that whipping thing's like, whack, whack, whack, have some more sauce. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, 0800-DARZATM, give us a call now, text through 9696. What have you left on the roof of the car? What did you leave?
Starting point is 00:40:51 These are making me giggle so much because it's just so, it's so human. Yeah, it is. What did you leave on the roof of your car? This is because police have left, like, someone left a gun on top of the roof
Starting point is 00:41:01 and drove away, a laptop. You know how you said that parents wouldn't text in if they had left their baby? Yeah, they have. Yeah. Yes. I love this.

Starting point is 00:43:24 My first day is going really well and thanks for having me. Family member left 24 brand new boxed golf balls on their roof in one big box. When they got to an intersection and hit the brakes and went off, the box came open and the golf balls went into the street
Starting point is 00:43:38 instead of bouncing off other cars. Man, can golf ball bounce. Yeah, on concrete. If you're stopping at an intersection and someone's coming through that intersection and they're going 100 k's an hour and it hits the golf ball, it's like basically hitting a golf ball with a golf club. Yeah. And it would just be like, pshaw. I would have loved to have seen that.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I want to recreate it on Baldwin Street. Oh my God, imagine. You would kill people. You would kill people. I'll tell them to stay in their houses. You'll break a lot of windows. Baldwin Street residents love being told to stay in their houses. We break a lot of windows Bournemouth Street residents love being told to stay in their houses
Starting point is 00:44:06 we're talking about what you've left on the roof of your car because the New Zealand police twice not once but twice have left guns
Starting point is 00:44:14 on the roof of your car yeah amongst other things too laptops notebooks are a big one so I told you about that time we found that police flashlight eh
Starting point is 00:44:20 oh okay dude it was the I wanted to bash someone with it so badly. It was a big beamy, real, yeah, yeah, yeah, big bright beamy. But now they've got
Starting point is 00:44:28 little ones, aren't they? No. I'd love one of the big ones again. Would you? Okay. I'd love one of the big ones again.
Starting point is 00:44:34 But a police gun. Yeah. I mean, I'm driving into the middle of nowhere and popping a couple off into the sky because, do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:41 Where in the house am I going to get this chance to shoot a Glock? Go to a gun range when you go to Vegas. And I'm going to give the guy that looks like me a Glock. No way. In Vegas. Yeah, go to America.
Starting point is 00:44:49 It's expensive though. In America. Yeah. I just go to Rota Vegas out into the middle of nowhere. Pop, pop, pop. Okay. Pop, pop, pop. Again, if you did...
Starting point is 00:44:55 I will just say, if you do find a police gun or any gun, take it into your local police station. Don't pop, pop, pop. Yep. I'm a trained professional. In a bag. Take it in a bag. Yeah, don't walk in holding it being like, whose is this? Yeah, I've got this. I've got this. What are you going to do about it? pop, pop, pop. Yep. I'm a trained professional. In a bag. Take it in a bag. Yeah, don't walk in holding it being like,
Starting point is 00:45:05 whose is this? Yeah, I've got this. I've got this. What are you going to do about it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, don't say stuff like that. I'd walk in with it tucked in the back of my pants.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Yep. Just because that always looks cool in the movies. If you always wanted to do that. Yeah. I'm not. I'd shoot yourself in the butt. That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:45:18 All the time when people tuck it in the front of their pants, I'm like, you're going to shoot your butt. It's got a safety. Yeah, but what's my arse cap? You need to know, you take it in the middle of nowhere,
Starting point is 00:45:24 pop, pop, pop, and you're like, safety wasn't on, click, safety's on now. Then you know when you need to know you take it in the middle of nowhere pop pop pop and you're like safety wasn't on click safety's on now then you know when the safety's on and tuck it in the front of your pants
Starting point is 00:45:29 and be like Will Smith and bad boys one and two I'm not doing that don't do that I mean obviously I'm being effing stupid I almost said the
Starting point is 00:45:37 whole word I'm being very silly don't do that it's a serious thing I left my six week old bag jeez Louise no but it didn't get to the car.
Starting point is 00:45:46 I put him down beside the car and then drove 15 minutes to town and I was like, I don't have my baby with me and I think it might have been the only time that he ever slept peacefully was out there on the side of the driveway. Nearly made it to the roof of the car.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Wow. I, like the other lady, have driven a fair distance with a cat on the roof of the car. I was rushing to get three kids to school. We went downhills, winding roads, across a main road until white paws that are coming over the windscreen tapping it. I was rushing to get three kids to school. We went downhills, winding roads, across a main road
Starting point is 00:46:05 into a white pause that are coming over the windscreen, tapping it. Oh my God, it was tapping on the windscreen. The cat's like, help! Hey, bitch! Help! Have you seen that video of the, it's like a, I don't know if it's like a light aircraft or something,
Starting point is 00:46:19 and it's a cat. Oh my God, the cat. It's stuck in the cupboards. Yeah, a microlight thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like one of those things with the sideways lawnmower on the back. And the cat's like, I was having a sleep here. Look at this. A gold watch.
Starting point is 00:46:34 I drove 25 kilometres. Stopped. When I got out, I saw the watch. The strap had got caught in the silver window runner. Like that little bit. I just put it back on. I was like, sweet. 25k drive. Oh my god, my partner had been out shooting rabbits
Starting point is 00:46:52 and left the gun on the roof of my car and I drove 30 minutes to work at 1am so I didn't see the thing on my roof. I'm sure I wouldn't have seen it anyway. It wasn't until I left work and bang, it fell off the roof. Not bang. No, it didn't go off. Imagine if it wasn't 1am or someone saw you and then all of a sudden you're getting pulled over by
Starting point is 00:47:08 like 18 police cars with guns. And you're like what? Get out of the vehicle! I was in my car and I was like where's my phone and so it was connected to Bluetooth so I pressed call partner and then I was talking to them and I was like my phone's in the car but can you just ring me back so I can hear it ringing
Starting point is 00:47:23 because it rang on the Bluetooth and the thing and he was like okay phone's in the car but can you just ring me back so I can hear it ringing because it rang on the Bluetooth and the thing and he was like okay and then I had to slam on the brakes and I saw the phone just project itself
Starting point is 00:47:30 into through an intersection and get run over by a car and then it cut out and he tried to call me back but he couldn't because the phone was switched
Starting point is 00:47:37 I love the classic coffees times four stopped at the lights and they all poured down the front window like again you're putting the wipers on
Starting point is 00:47:44 they're like yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. You're staring that around. Sure. A large Macca's milkshake. All good driving forward. I don't know why, but then reverse and then the windscreen wore it. And you're right. I turned on the windscreen wipers and was like, well, something good came from this. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Yeah, it'd be disappointing if you put it on and you had bad windscreen wipers. Yeah. Now, this is the mum one. New mum, Rickerton Mall car park. Early 1990s, put the baby capsule with baby on the roof of the car, loaded groceries into the car, put the shopping trolley away, hopped in the car, started the car, seatbelt on, put gear into reverse,
Starting point is 00:48:22 turned around to reverse, looked over my shoulder, no baby, shot. Car was stationary but gave me a huge fright. belt on, put gear into reverse, turned around to reverse, looked over my shoulder. No baby. Car was stationary but gave me a huge fright that I could forget my baby so early. So close. Baby in car first from that time on. I would never let my kid forget that either. You're forgetful.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah. As a kid you wouldn't let your parents forget it. Hey mum, lucky I'm here, eh? Somebody messaged in. I think this is going to finish nicely. Okay. Get ready. Was leaving the house, said goodbye to the kids and was backing out of the garage and heard a light.
Starting point is 00:48:54 And I was like, oh, that must just be the noise of me backing out the garage. What I didn't know was my eight-year-old son dropping out of the ceiling of the garage onto the roof racks of the car. What? Kids, eh? What? Nitro circus style.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah. And then I just drove away. I drove for a long time. All the cars flashing their headlights at me. I thought there must be a cop coming up. This can't be true. It wasn't. My son, I eventually stopped and got out,
Starting point is 00:49:17 and my son was like crying up there, but apparently once he'd started, he was going to get in trouble for doing it in the first place, so he just held on as tight as he could until I stopped. They go off the roof racks. You can see it there. tight as he could until I stopped. Thank God for roof racks. Another reason not to have kids, eh? They're just wild. They're just wild.
Starting point is 00:49:30 They're just wild monkeys. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Got a little surprise. As you know, here on the show, we are genuine friends. Vaughan, look, you look so panicked. I'm nervous. Okay, because Vaughan doesn't know
Starting point is 00:49:49 what's happening. You do though! Fletch just kind of indicated that he does. Yeah, Fletch does. Yep, I've known him. Carwin does. Shannon does. Hayley sure does. Now what... I just want to reiterate. Why are you so panicked? Why are you so panicked? Why are you so panicked?

Starting point is 00:50:14 that would last beyond radio. You know, that after we've done, I think so. We'll still be mates. Yeah, I think so. You know, not something that pitters out. Yep. Fades away.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I thought it was pitted out. Pitted. I'm in the mood for a pitter-pit though. Yeah, I think so. You know, not something that pitters out. Yep. Fades away. I thought it was pitted out. I would be in the mood for a pitter-pit though. Yeah. So it's in the forefront of my brain. Yeah, you're petering out, you're trying to get it sponsored. Yeah. Now, a few people have been noticing that I have been every now and then, I'll share a little image of Vaughan
Starting point is 00:50:39 and God, my DMs, they just blow up with messages from people saying oh God, Vaughan's looking so good at the moment. And then I don't know if people saw this and I messages from people saying oh God Vaughan's looking so good at the moment and then I don't know if people saw this and I hope that they did but Vaughan
Starting point is 00:50:49 recently you were given a cowboy hat and you were invited to go sit on a horse and get a photo and where you put that up great photos great photo
Starting point is 00:50:58 yeah lovely great time oh my God so good but it's such an amazing response on Instagram that everyone was commenting. And then Sammy, my friend, commented on it saying,
Starting point is 00:51:12 I feel like this would make such a great tattoo. And Vaughan Smith hearted it. And I got a DM in my inbox from Sammy Crow, who I've had a couple of tattoos. She did my Rolly tattoo, my drink it while it's fizzy tattoo. And she was like, don't you reckon this would make such a good tattoo? And I was like, that's insane. She said, can I please put Vaughan on your body for the rest of your life?
Starting point is 00:51:36 And I said, no, that's an insane thing to do. And then somehow yesterday, while quite hungover and really tired, it happened. Oh my God. I officially have you. Hayley, that's insanity. What is wrong with you? Hayley, no. I mean, that rules.
Starting point is 00:52:00 It looks so good. That tattoo rules. You know, you're my ride or die, you know? You're my ride or die. It looks so good. Oh, rules. You know, you're my ride or die, you know? You're my ride or die. It looks so good. Oh, there you go. There you go. I've come over to another mic.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Hayley. Look, it's just honestly such a good photo of you as a cowboy that I thought, of course I'll have that on me forever. He won't mind. Do you know what? Do you know what? I was sitting over in the chair before and you were, I don't know if it's itchy or whatever,
Starting point is 00:52:25 and this has only just occurred to me, and then you panicked and got up and straightened your dress out. I saw it too. I was like, what's going on? Yeah, I've got Vaughan Smith on my leg forever. How long did that take? Six painful hours yesterday with Sammy. You keep messaging the no Vaughan chat saying,
Starting point is 00:52:40 God, this hurts. Oh my God, guys, I know. But look at the face. It's you. I'm beside your... Is that your mother or your father? That's my father. And my cat.

Starting point is 00:53:06 Oh, boy. That's so nice. Oh, my God. Is he going to cry? He's crying. I just think you're amazing. What a great image. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:53:15 He's actually on second warning. Thank you. Oh, my God. He's so sweet. I don't know when I first saw it, I was shocked. And I was like, you silly girl. But then I was like, that is so, yeah. I mean, I think I was seeing beside your father, that's...
Starting point is 00:53:28 Oh, Vaughan. Well, look, it's a pretty amazing tattoo. I'm very happy to have it. That is far out what a tattoo. It's incredible, right? And that's so detailed. I don't want to say it's generic, but it's an iconic image of someone that looks like a cowboy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Because Sammy messaged me saying, hey, would you let me tattoo that image of Cowboy Vaughn on your body? It's got to be Vaughn though. And I was like, I will say, I said, ha ha ha, OMFG. I mean, I love that idea, but do I want Vaughn's face? Sammy goes, go on, what? Are you best mates or what? I said, let me think about this
Starting point is 00:54:07 and she converted it into a tattoo that image that's absolutely incredible how did she do that how did she get I mean I don't know a lot about tattooing
Starting point is 00:54:15 but that the detail in there but then we took the head from that one where you're bowing down for the kind of cowboy the detail's insane the detail's absolutely insane
Starting point is 00:54:24 Jesus Christ go on my socials and I'll tag Sammy because she's an absolute incredible artist for the kind of cowboy tail. The detail's insane. The detail's absolutely insane. Go on my socials and I'll tag Sammy because she's an absolute incredible artist. But she was like, we've got to do this. So that's what I did yesterday. Also, it's quite large, eh?
Starting point is 00:54:35 I thought you might have gone smaller. We put it on and we were both looking at it and me and Sammy looked at each other yesterday and we're like, should go a bit bigger. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:54:45 This is wild. And then she was like, she'll go a bit bigger. Oh my God. This is wild. And then she was like, what should we do for Fletch? Yeah, what's going to happen there? I'm thinking of Fletch riding a Persian cat. On the other side. Bucking off of a... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of a British blue or something like that.

Carwin also been getting these emails. Over the weekend, when I opened up my laptop yesterday to do the bare minimum amount of work
Starting point is 00:57:10 that I have to put in on Sunday. Just the bare minimum. It's noted. I mean, you do the bare minimum of anyone on the show ever. Just the bare minimum, yeah. But boy, he brings charisma, you know? I'm charmed. And a genie-saquatch.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Oh, the genie-saquatch. You know me. The genie- Yeah. I'm charmed in my way for advice. Yes. Oh, the Jenny Sequat. You know me. The Jenny Sequat. Got it on tap. And I had, I would estimate upwards of, like, below 10 emails from the National Party. Oh, goodness. Okay. And not just, like, the National Party.
Starting point is 00:57:37 I was hearing from individual members of Parliament of the National Party. Yeah. And I said, guys, did you all get the National Party emails at the weekend? And you guys were all just like, no. No. Carwen, producer Carwen, also getting the National Party emails. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Why are we getting National Party emails, Carwen? I don't know. Also, Ross is in the booth. He just said he got them as well. Are we being pranked? I think so. Yeah, I reckon. But why did they sign up one mouthpiece of the left
Starting point is 00:58:03 and not the others? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you mean the left and not the others? Yeah, yeah. What do you mean? No, I'm kidding. Oh, no. I don't know. I just didn't sign up for them. And you know what's worse?
Starting point is 00:58:12 No unsubscribe button to be found. No. Oh, naughty. It's illegal. Is that illegal? Is that naughty? It's illegal. And it's a government email address.
Starting point is 00:58:20 So she'll be getting an email from me. Shall we knock on Christopher? Christopher. I added that to my block sender list. I just don't like any and before you're like, oh man, politics. I don't like, I've unsubscribed from, I've been signed up to other political ones
Starting point is 00:58:33 as well, but they were like, hey, here's a newsletter. And I'm just like, no thanks. This was like individual, hey, what are we doing in this part of the country? This sounds like the media people have just signed you up. They can't. Well, they have. They're not allowed. Yeah, they definitely have. Because at first, I thought it might have been a prank,
Starting point is 00:58:49 because that was such a, like, 2000s prank, ain't it? Totally. To sign your friend up to an email database. It's something really embarrassing, some lame database. Pick your friend with a gender-neutral name, like in our case, it was Chris. Yep. And get him heaps of free tampon orders.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Yeah! That was a classic back in the day. And it'd say, Chris. Was that in the free things for kids? Terrible. Tampons. Yeah. Probably.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Remember that book? Yeah. All the free things you could get. But I remember when they started, a group of mates one day decided, it was my turn to get the free tampons. And they sent to mum's like, what's these? I said, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And I opened them. I said, oh, they're tampons. And she was like, jeez, free tampons? What the hell's going on here? Yeah, heavenly. Beautiful. Pop them in the third drawer down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:29 No further questions. Christine was stoked. Yeah. I think when she was running out, she was even like, you should get those guys to prank you again with all these things. Get your friends to prank your mum.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Your mum's short on tampons. Yeah. Do they prank you with free bottles of wine and a free trip somewhere? Oh, yeah. Oh, man, you know how we hate these pranks. I feel like if it's you and Carwen and Ross,
Starting point is 00:59:48 it's either a prank. Could this be a prank, Clint? Or you could be on some kind of media list. But I never sign up to the media list. Neither. Have my details been stolen
Starting point is 00:59:58 from the dirty web? Maybe. The dark, dub, dub, dub, dub. Sorry, dark web. What's the dirty web? I don't know. Slightly lighter than the dark web? Yeah, sounds like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:06 But still filthy. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Let me just message someone back. Is your husband Blake Simpson? Because somebody just messaged, this is not funny. I got a fact about lightning in my head last week,
Starting point is 01:00:34 and I was like, must message Vaughn and see if he wants to do lightning work for Fact of the Day, and now you're doing it. Great minds. In case you need a fact. Oh, that's actually a really good fact. But no, that's going to put it in the pocket. That's not the lightning fact.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Your husband is not Blake Simpson. Blake Simpson messaged me and he's like, I've got a fact and I think lightning could be the fact of the day theme. And I said,
Starting point is 01:00:53 okay, love lightning. Let's do this. Love this. Blake's idea was lightning week and Blake's fact was electrical shocks such as lightning bolts can stimulate
Starting point is 01:01:04 and cause mushrooms to grow. What? Studies in Japan, Korea, and China have shown that certain types of mushrooms, shiitake, enoki, and oyster mushrooms grow faster and produce more when exposed to controlled electrical pulses. Farmers in Japan have even used machines that stimulate lightning to boost yields in mushroom growing. And sometimes after a lightning strike, like where it hits the ground,
Starting point is 01:01:28 a ring of mushrooms grows around it. How? Why? Well, why does it happen? The exact mechanism isn't fully understood, but there are some hypotheses. Stress response. The electrical shock may mimic environmental stress like a storm triggering fungi to produce rapidly. Increased nutrient transport.
Starting point is 01:01:46 And this is another thing about lightning is it actually does cause fertilization. Electricity might affect the cell membranes enhancing nutrient uptake or the metabolic activity. And it may activate growth in the mycelium, the root-like network fungi used to spread and gather their nutrients. I got really lost when it started getting
Starting point is 01:02:05 technical. Do you know what? Just then I got caught up watching you peel your mandarin because it got very scientific. Okay, I can layman's terms it. Layman's it for me. So, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:13 mycelin is the part. Myceli water. Yeah, you take off your eye makeup after a big night out. No, mycelin, mycelin, the last of us.
Starting point is 01:02:22 You know the last of us, how it was a fungus-based zombie? Yes. And that's how it spreads and that's how it gathers its nutrients and the root system of Us. You know The Last of Us, how it was a fungus-based zombie? Yes. And that's how it spreads and that's how it gathers its nutrients and the root system of fungi. So is this how the real Last of Us starts? So we're lightning strike on a shroom factory.
Starting point is 01:02:34 On a shroom factory. And then we'll all be eating each other. Yeah, on the shroom factory. So it does. It can stimulate growth of mushrooms. So if you got struck by lightning yourself, you've got to be careful. You don't want mushrooms.
Starting point is 01:02:48 You know what? I've got some very interesting facts about people that were struck by lightning for later in the week. Is it Maureen Pugh? The tattoo effect it has as well when you see it, eh? Correct.
Starting point is 01:02:56 There is a specific name for the type of tattoo. You should get Maureen Pugh on. Isn't that the politician? She's been struck by lightning three times. Yeah. And she's a bit of a mushroom. It's not even an insult, really, is it? But I don't know why, but if someone said to me, like,
Starting point is 01:03:10 oh, shut up, you mushroom, I'd be like, oh. Oh. But. It's hurt me. Mushrooms are very handy. Are you still growing your mushrooms? You could say, shut up, you mushroom, and you could be like, yeah, I am a bit of a fun guy.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Yeah, that's right. Throw that back in their face and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you see an unexplained circle of mushrooms, sometimes called fairy rings, it may be the result of a lightning strike. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. No, you're so naughty. Oh no, oh no. Okay, we want to talk about your celebrity interactions. Vaughan, you were sharing one about Ryan Redholtz. I listen to the Connor O'Brien podcast religiously, and even though he came to New Zealand and did a travel special and I sort of reached out and really wanted to meet my hero,
Starting point is 01:04:15 he chose not to. And then I see he hung out with Abby Howells, and I was just like insanely jealous. I'm already jealous of Abby Howells. Amazing. She's so funny. She's so funny. She is so funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:28 And then she gets to hang out with Conan O'Brien. I'm just like, whatever. But the Conan O'Brien podcast they had Ryan Reynolds on and they were talking about when people come up to them

Starting point is 01:07:30 I don't know why this was news, but it was like Jodie Foster was on the subway and everyone was taking videos of her, just like. She always, she's famously been on the subway that way. But a lot of New Yorkers do, because it's just basically the easiest way to get around. Why would you drive? Wallace, off Wallace and Gromit, so you sound like, ask me if I'd like

Starting point is 01:08:55 a call. Excuse you, 196. Back in 2016, I helped Jason Momoa organise tickets to an All Blacks game. He asked for my number in case there were any issues with the tickets. And I said to him, as much as I'd love to give you my number, I wouldn't be of much help on the night because I'm not going to be in the country at the time.
Starting point is 01:09:14 So I gave him a colleague's number instead. What's wrong with you? So for the record, Jason Momoa asked for my number, highlight of my career. You denied Jason Momoa your number? Are you mad? That's hot. Jason Momoa would be like, can I have your number? No. It's a power play. Natalia, good morning. 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9- over Christmas. Yep. And in front of us, there was a couple of tents with a few people in them
Starting point is 01:09:47 and the tents went rolling across the paddock with the humans inside, which was hilarious. Yep. I'm sure it wasn't for the humans inside, but carry on.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Jeepers! It was LMFAO. What? What? LMFAO. LMFAO were in the tent that got blown away. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Every day my tents's shuffling. Wait, were they here for a thing? Oh, no, no, no. They were camping to get away and there was no cell phone service. It was at a dock camp in the back box of nowhere up Cape Reinga. LMFAO. Wait, wait. Wait, this was just New Year's just gone?
Starting point is 01:10:24 No, this is going back 20 years. Oh, right. Okay, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Sky blue and red flu at the dock. All their bedding was wet. They were covered in mud.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Because I was hand washing all the clothes because there was no such thing as power. Yeah. His girlfriend ended up asking me to teach her how to hand wash all their clothes and show her what to do. What a wild story. And were they lovely though, even though they were cold? Yeah, the guy was actually quite a cool dude. Hubby took him, what do you call that thing, four-wheel driving on the sand.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Oh yeah. I like Natalia, I quite like her. That's so cool. I like that normal hospitality. Thanks Natalia. Jess, what's your celeb encounter? I had a very average run-in with Mark Ellis, like just very normal on my average.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Oh, yeah, okay. Because he's just a normal way back here, we bloke. Yeah, it was so weird. And it was back in the day, so it was back when him and Matthew Ridge were on TV, and they were in the media a lot, and they were celebrities. It was so exciting.
Starting point is 01:11:26 And Charlie's Juice was all very new at the time. But I was working at a golf course in the kitchen, and he just appeared at the counter and ordered some ham sandwiches and had lunch. Ham sandwiches? They were ham off the bone sandwiches. Oh, yum. Yum, okay.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Thank you for clarifying. Yum. The second he was doing lunch. Yeah, frilly ham. Shaved ham. Fat champagne ham. Yeah, it. Slow cakes. Thank you for clarifying. Yum. For a second he was doing lunch. Yeah. Shaved ham. Yeah. Fat champagne ham. Yeah, it's good stuff.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Give me more. Jess, thank you. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. Your celeb encounters. We're talking about your chance encounters with celebrities after Harry Styles took a photo on his own personal phone and sent it to a couple.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Mm-hmm. And that was really nice of him. I know. What a guy. Messages in. Grace said, I met Hilary Barry at a funeral. Best day ever. Oh, it's a funeral.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Hilary's lovely. Hilary's lovely. And Mr. Barry. We love Mr. Barry, don't we? He's a bit of a mystery, but Mr. Barry. Mr. Barry. We love Mr. Barry. He loves Mr. Barry.
Starting point is 01:12:20 I can tell you why there's a reason she doesn't show his face too often. You're jealous. Stunning man. Spilled an entire beer on Nick Jonas, says Kat. That's good. I was in a busy cafe and Matthew Ridge said to me, I didn't recognise you with your clowns on. I was his son's swimming instructor.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Probably not the approach I'd take to my kid's swimming instructor. I walked past Stephen Hawking on the Embankment Bridge. Wow. Mic drop. Don't drop it. He won't be able to pick it up. Yeah, that's rude. Apparently when they were walking towards him,
Starting point is 01:12:50 they were like, oh, Stephen Hawking, as in like not knowing it was. Yeah. I was like, hello. Beep, beep. Beep, beep. Excuse me. Out of the way.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Beep, beep. Excuse me. That's a great impression. That's almost as good as my Harry Styles. I didn't know that. I found it terrible doing it. Get the hell out of the way almost as good as my Harry Styles. I didn't know that. I found it terrible doing it. Get the hell out of the way. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:08 I'm Harry Styles. Sasha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher tapped me on the shoulder at Puzzling World in Wanaka. Puzzling World? I hate Puzzling World. It's too hard to get out. Because my very pricky gut nearly bowled over their two-year-old and I said, oh, I'm so sorry, and they just stared through me. That's not very nice.
Starting point is 01:13:24 I also ran into Jeffrey Dean Morgan at the Lugers in Queenstown that same afternoon. Jeffrey Dean Morgan's the guy that looks like Javier Bardem, but isn't. Is he on Walking Dead? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. He's off of Walking Dead. I went to say hi to Matty McLean and he stole my baby
Starting point is 01:13:39 and posted a picture of him and my baby on the Instagram. Classic. Jason Momoa declined photos the other week. It was after a 10-hour flight, though, so absolutely fair enough. No one's feeling it after that long flight. Nobody looks good after a puffy, especially long haul. You're looking all puffy, aren't you? Bit of puffy.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Yeah. I met Tove Lowe in Devonport just sitting at a pub. That was weird, eh? I had lunch with Jane Goodall and her toy monkey at the table and her ex-husband in Tanzania. My boyfriend at the time was working with her ex. This is Jane Goodall from Gorillas in the Mist. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Yeah. Wow. Not everybody would know who Jane Goodall is. Fantastic woman. Oh, my God. Incredible woman. Probably my top ten woman. Wow.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Do you want the other nine right now? No, because if I'm not in it, I'll cry. You're number one. Wow. Today. Nah, just because of the tattoos nine right now? No, because if I'm not in it, I'll cry. You're number one. Wow. Today. Nah, it's just because of the tattoos for today. That's good. I'll slip.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Never changing us. Speaking of which, if you missed it earlier, you uncovered your surprise tattoo for Vaughn, a tattoo of Vaughn riding a horse. Yep. On my thigh. Yep. Yeah, it's on my social media.
Starting point is 01:14:39 It will be up on ours later. Yep. F-B-H-Z-M. Come on, man. Genuine friends. Genuine friends. It's a great tattoo. Yep. F-B-H-Z-M. Come on, man. Genuine friends. Genuine friends. That's a great tattoo. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:47 It's so good. Any last words before we leave the show today? I'm lost for words. I don't know what to say. I love you both. Love you. Very, very much. Love you.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Fletch. Fletch. Love you too. That's so much better than what it was for the first 20 years. It actually got better. I didn't even get the mumble. He didn't look a single one of us in the eye when he said it. One day he's going to unclench his teeth to say it.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Love you, Tink. Oh, another one in the bag. It's a Versace bag as well. If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates. You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
