From the ZM Podcast Network, this is Fleshhorn and Hayley's Big Pod. Thanks to Animate's, making happy happen for pets. Welcome to the show Fleshhorn and Hayley. Yep, that's turned on now. There is a vending machine in Queenstown that does HOV tests. How about that? Amazing! How about that? Like a vending machine, so you get the tests out and then, okay. So obviously not as enjoyable or as relaxing as a Coke Zero.

But um. We'll be good if you could get both. Just while you wait for the test to work it out. And an almond gold. I thought HIV testing was done through blood. Is this a different one, like a swab? No, I think you'll probably prick your finger. Oh, prick your finger, of course, yeah.

I was like, God, imagine if you were doing your own bloody. Blood extraction. Full of autumus. Yeah, yeah. Put your belt around the top of your arm. People are like, is that person injecting here? I went, no, imagine if you were doing your own bloody full- Blood extraction, full- Phlebotomist. Yeah, yeah. Put your belt around the top of your arm. People are like, is that person injecting here? I went, no, they're drawing blood.

Oh, good for them. It's just a little test. So I got the top six other vending machines that would, you know, should scatter around Queenstown. Fantastic. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

There is a very naughty puss on our hands. Very naughty cat. Cat criminal. There was a cat naughty puss on our hands. Very naughty cat. Cat criminal. There was a cat caught smuggling drugs into a Costa Rican prison. And there's a really cute video of the cat laying on the table. I'll say looking a little guilty.

Okay. I'll say, you know, when your cat's like brought on a mouse and you've taught her, Rolly, no. And then afterwards they come in and they're like, hey, are we good? Can't be mad at me, look how cute I am. Look how cute I am. Yeah.

It had like this plastic bag filled with drugs and then it was like taped kind of around the cat. What, they taped the cat? Yeah. Like he wore it kind of like a vest. Yeah, I thought they would have given it a cute backpack. No, it was sort of like that, but it was just done by tape.

So he had all sorts of drugs, naughty, naughty drugs. So this was the cat going into prison or coming out? It's into prison. It wasn't going into the prison. I was going to say, because if you were smuggling, who smuggles drugs out of prison? Surely there's a world full of them. Some of them drugs in South America, they make the drugs in there. Do you remember that marching powder? Yes, the Bolivian prison. The Bolivian prison.

It sort of functions like its own little city. Yeah. So the prison, it was crack cocaine. OK. And a marijuana was what was strapped to the little kiddie. Is there a little hole or cat flap in prison? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, they just jump over the walls, I suppose.

Yeah, but it's all barbed wire and stuff. Yeah, but they're clever little things. Round 236 grams of marijuana and about 68 grams of heroin. Is that crack cocaine? I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works. I don't know. It's good we don't know I think.

68 grams of heroin strapped to its back. Police reported that officials believed the cat was deployed in an attempt to smuggle the drugs to prisoners inside, where it was caught looking due to its suspicious looking grey patches, which was of course the sort of plastic tape wrapped around it. They said, come here. Come here. That's the thing. You're going to sidetrack this cat with treats. I know. And also like dogs, they follow instructions.

You can train them. Cats. Yeah. That was a real risk strapping drugs to a cat. Yeah. The cat might have like, you know, gone halfway and then deviated, climbed up somewhere high, lay in the sun,

chewed off the pack and enjoyed the drugs themselves. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Classic cat behavior. I know! Yeah. Oh wow, Warner, naughty cat. I was like, why Mr. the Cat now? He just go back on the streets, he's like, guys, wild day. Yeah, Oh wow, I want a naughty cat. I was like, why Mr. The Cat now? You just go back on the streets,

he's like, guys, wild day. Yeah, they just cut the thing off and they're like, you're free to go. And it works out, it's a Kaiser Soze situation. He was the mastermind all along. Yeah. The cat was the kingpin. I would have got away with it.

Either that or he gets life. Or he's- In person. Don't give it anything. I like it a lot. It was good. This is one of his one of his life sentences because they have nine life sentences. That could have been structured. It could have been structured.

But it could have been a hard one. The foundation is wonderful. Yeah, you're going to be like, hey, he's probably serving one of his nine life sentences. Like that, oh yeah, that. That was the perfect delivery. But do you know what I mean? Like that couldn't have happened without that. No, no, no, it was all process. It was a stepping stone to the joke.

This is a writer's room. Play. That ends Fletchborne and Hayley. From the Fletchborne and Hayley group chat, this is the top six. Hello, wonderful news. I didn't know this but Did someone say something? No. Okay. It did sound like Haley was gonna say something. It did sound like someone I thought it was you that was gonna say something. No, maybe it was me. You're losing your mind. Maybe it was me I was gonna say something when I was already saying something. You're crazy. So there are vending machines

I did not know this around the country where you can give yourself an HIV test. That's so amazing. Isn't it? It's so much easier now, like HIV tests and vending machines, you can do your own pap smears. I think men can do their own swabs for chlamydia and the likes. When you go and get your tests, you do your own swabs.

Yeah. And I think some places, like, you can get tests sent out to you and then you send them back. Yeah. So yeah it can be very... Removing any of the shame that people have going. Totally. And that's what doctors are saying. Yeah. People are so embarrassed about it so if they can get one of these. And I don't know, listen, Vending Machines so far sent Shuri and Sauna in Auckland CBD. Oh, okay. Is that a gay club? Yes it is. The Auckland Pride Office on K Road.

Manawatu Lesbian and Gay Rights Association there in Palmerston North. Men Friends in Phillips Town and Christchurch. And the Monaco City Centre at the train station near the wheelchair access ramps. What, so just while you're waiting for that. That one's not even sexy. That was, yeah, that's what the unusual thing right there are all the different yeah places Queen sounds getting one

Queen's latest one it's gonna be installed at the doctors fuck up to poo and Frankton walk a tip. Oh, it's got an H in this one. I think it's really it's not it's not I said a fun No, he hung on. Oh, yeah Cuz I was sort of like a tip is even I think it's a soft one. Really, it's soft. Oh, is it a fanganui, honganui deal? Yeah, I think it's a honganui. It's a honganui, because I always thought it was hoka teapoo. Hoka teapoo. So anyway, there's gonna be one there at the doctor's. Oh, so good. In practice, and it's great.

But I thought, why stop there? We need more vending machines. So I've got the top six other sorts of vending machines from around the world that we should have. Well, Japan are pretty good at vending machines, aren't they? Oh, don't say that, man. In Japan. Just boiled egg. Yes, boiled egg. Protein hat.

Yeah, why not? That was my idea for a food truck. All it did was boiled eggs, I was laughed at. Now I bet the boiled egg food truck would kill. Park up outside Les Mills. Is the boiled egg vending machine, are they warm? Can be. I can't remember, I don't think I've ever got one.

I've only been to Japan once and I don't believe I got a boiled egg. Yeah. Number six on the list, various Asian countries have umbrella vending machines. You're always caught with our one. You can buy an umbrella from a vending machine. Great idea. Perfect. When it starts raining, absolutely.

Buy one of the decent quality ones. The dairies or convenience stores always love chucking the umbrellas out for their $18. Yeah, wheel it out. Crappy umbrellas. Yeah, blow inside out. Number five on the list are the top six vending machines from around the world that we should probably have as well the mashed potato vending machine found in Singapore it gives you a cup like a

Cup and then it goes like fro yo. Oh my god. It was gravy. You did with gravy Oh my god, imagine fro your machine That be great on a night out. Oh, we just need some taters. Yeah. And gravy. Ah. Ah.

Ah. Number four on the list of the types of vending machines from around the world that we should get here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Cupcake ATM. This is from America, surprise, surprise. You get the cupcake and then you choose what icing you want on the cupcake.

Yum. And then the final one is do you want sprinkles or not? Crank chairs. No sprinkles. No sprinkles. Sugar, sugar, crunch. Pretty good though. Number three on the vending machines from around the world that we should definitely

have here is from Singapore. It's the chili crab vending machine. What? Serving out one of Singapore's most iconic dishes, hot and ready to eat from a machine. I don't know. I'm not getting crab from a vending machine ready to eat from a machine. The chilli crab vending machine. I'm not getting facial crab from a vending machine. Okay, then I'll put an equal in for number three on the list. The German sausage vending machine.

Yeah, sure. I'll eat a sausage from a machine. Do you know what would be weird? It would be like the machine was taking a machine dump. Yeah, it would be a big lump. Outer would come. And you can get them hot or cold to take home for later. Love.

And then of course we're off to Japan, where I will tell you the Mystery Box Venom Machine is number two on the list. You literally have no idea what's gonna come out of the Venom Machine. I love this. Is it food or stuff? Who knows?

No, it's just a mystery box of goodies. Arranging from toys to electronics to food to literal junk. It's a Mystery Box Venom Machine. It's gambling. Oh my god I would love that. I would love that. I'd get that five. It's the mystery thing, right? It's the money or the bag scenario Yeah, yeah And the number one on the list of the top six vending machines that we definitely need in Aotearoa, New Zealand The ramen vending machine. Oh, yeah

And again, like I was talking about the cupcake vending machine you get your base Is it a beef broth or a chicken and you can just literally move along and make yourself Pork all at a Hole in the wall. How long has that may have been in there? I don't care. I'm in Japan. I'm living. But that broth could have been boiling for weeks and I'd still be okay with it That's how those work that is today's stop sir. ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Hobbiton, I love it. I'd go back again tomorrow and I only went a few weeks ago.

Never been, I've never been. Never been? Oh, you simply must. I really like, um. How much it costs? Yep. Is it expensive? No, cause I had a friend visiting

and they're like, I really wanna go to Hobbiton and I looked at the price, I was like, you go. Like it's 200 bucks, right? Whoa. Which I think, you know, you pay, cause it's Hobbiton and you're never gonna go to anything else like it. No! No, no, no, no.

They've recreated the Hobbit holes and it's great. I was just like, I'm just not that much of a fan that I wanna pay 200. Like if it was 50, I'd pay. Yeah. I haven't come from overseas just to see Hobbiton. You know? So many people do. I know, they do overseas just to see Hobbiton. You know? So many people do.

I know, they do. It's insane. You talk to international people, they're like, oh my God, I'd really love to see Hobbiton. You're like, okay, all right. Yeah. It is, it is, I don't even know how to describe it. Cause you can go inside now.

They sort of excavated behind some existing doors and you can go into actual, and they've recreated the whole detail and everything about it I just love it yeah and then in this time when we went August my daughter who I've watched all the movies with was old enough to really appreciate it and was just gobsmacked the entire time yeah and that was cool seeing it through her eyes experiencing that yes I just love it so much and now it's a Guinness World Record holder for the largest purpose-built film set because of how much acreage it

takes up. Oh okay. Because of how big it is and it's sitting there it's 5.5 hectares is the official set size and that you can do pretty much the entire tour of. Yeah. Okay. And it sits there so it's the largest purpose-built film set in the set size and that you can do pretty much the entire tour of. Yeah, okay. And it sits there, so it's the largest purpose-built film set in the world. Okay. Pretty cool. They put it in there.

Even bigger than like Studio Lots in LA or something. But that would be multiple sets. Yeah, that's ever-changing film set. This is the largest purpose-built movie set, not like a changeable set. Is it still run as a farm? Yes. It is, eh?

All around it is still a farm. I don't think there's any more. Oh, it's been a load of day. Yep. Oh, like the most. I've said it before, it's right beside my granddad's farm. Yep.

When I was growing up, like from when they have their parties and stuff, you from my aunt and uncle's house on top of a hill, you can see the lights and hear it. And one Christmas, my brother and I were like, whereabouts is it? And my nan was like, that way, go straight. So we just traversed across paddocks, much like Hobbits. Yes.

But then when we got there was when they, I think, I don't even know if they were doing tours, but the whole, the circles were just, that was all. They'd taken away everything because they were like, oh right, great, we're finished. And the farmer was like, oh okay. And then they put it back there, and then it became the then you could do

the tour of the proper like yeah and now everybody's making a lot of money and they picked it because of the tree and the lake and the hill yeah and my granddad's farm has a tree a lake and a hill right beside each other he's like why don't you just keep finding it you know it was obviously like not as pretty. Oh, the Smith tree, the Smith tree, the Holmes tree, probably the lake is not as pretty. Well, it was a duck pond. It was a mine. Yeah, so is it a lake or is it a pond? Well, oh, that was a good question.

It's not as big as this. Yeah, it's not as big as this. But I've told the story before as well. One day, my grandad was out on the farm and this car pulled up and they were like, this hedge here, is it for sale? And he's like what the hell is going on? And they're like is this hedge for sale? He's like what are you talking about? He's like we're filming something we'll build you a brand new fence if we can come in and excavate this hedge because it's an

old hedge and we just want to transplant it because it's already aged. Did you do that? Yep and then he's like how's this gonna work? And they came and then when they came back with another guy and my grandad had no idea This was like 1997. Yeah, and I remember him saying to me They've taken the hedge and I was just like that's weird and then we were watching the news and he's like That's the guy that came and got the hedge and it was Peter Jackson This is like one of the world's most anticipated film projects. And he's like, yeah, what the hell do they want an old hedge for?

I was like, for their movies. And now you're probably just CGI the hedge. You're just CGI the hedge. I don't know. Sometimes you just... Nah, not at Hobbiton. Everything's rare. And I'd love to know, because when I was walking around and telling the girls the story when we were there, I was like, which one's his hedge? Oh, yeah, because when I was walking around and telling the girls the story when we were there,

I was like, which one's his hedge? Oh, yeah, right. Because all the hedges and stuff are still there. I was like, which one was Gangy's hedge? Who was Gangy's hedge? Great story. Yeah. How much did Peter Jackson pay him for the hedge?

No, he just replaced it with a nice fence. And when you're a farmer, you got a rusty old bloody shitty old hedge versus a brand new post and rail fence. You're a farmer you got a rusty old bloody shitty old hedge versus a brand new like post and rail fence Yeah, that's a good deal. I think I would have liked a new hedge. I would have liked 1% of the movies. Imagine if you had a fence. Royalty's! Even 1% of the tours. Yeah, yes please. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Play ZM's Fletch, Va Flash One and Hayley. Flash One and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole.

It is so silly, silly, silly, that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Some little poll today is do you modify your burger? If you're buying a burger do you ask for a little something a little different? Yeah, do you take stuff off? Do you add stuff? A Texas man is sewing Whataburger. That's the name of the burger place. Whataburger. For nearly one million dollars after he ordered a burger without onions and there were onions on it, he bit into it and his throat closed up and he struggled to breathe. Yeah, he had an allergic reaction. He's also, I mean, heaven forbid he opened the burger

and checked something he's deathly allergic to. If you're that allergic, yeah. Like, you check, right? You know that they mess your order up all the time. Totally. He's also suing another burger place for 250,000 for the same thing. And that's about to go to trial by jury.

Right. So again, I'd check my burger if I was that allergic to it. You know? Same. Yeah. But people do this just because maybe they don't like onions, they don't like gherkins, they don't like- When I get my filet of fish, I add shredded lettuce. Really ups it. But then also, I add shredded lettuce. Really ups it.

But then also, I thought shredded lettuce was default on a Filet-O-Fish. Nah, it's just cheese, tartare, and fish. There was a time you could get your buns steamed on something that wasn't a Filet-O-Fish, like a cheeseburger. Cheeseburger with a steamed bun. But you know what, I just got sick of waiting,

because it takes extra. I might get McDonald's today. I can just feel it. Do you know what I mean? I can just feel it. I think I'm gonna get McDonald's for lunch. can just feel it. You know what I mean? I can just feel it. Yeah. I think I'm going to get McDonald's for lunch. We just literally were like, are we going to the gym?

Yeah, and I was like, nah. She's going to need some light protein afterwards. Yeah. OK, I'll go to the gym, but then I'm going to get non-nuts. And then you get non-eats. Nuggies, protein nugs. Yeah, and a filet of fish. So some feedback on the topic.

What was the percentage? Why do I not give a percentage? Darling. I do apologise. 60% of people do not modify! Yeah. No modification, 40% of people do modify. Wow, that's actually way more than I thought.

I would have thought it might have been 10%. Of people modifying? Yeah. Well, Jane says, I don't like cheese or mayonnaise. I'm sorry. Hello? Hello? McFly Hello, what the hell's going on in there? Who doesn't like cheese and mayo? This is this is disgusting behavior many years ago. Do you remember our friend Hillary?

I had that baconator Voucher and she didn't she took off the bacon the meat and I think it was just left with avocado and lettuce And I was like you are so embarrassing. I've wasted a baconator voucher. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a salad. This is unbelievable. Yeah, that's ridiculous. Almost impossible to get a burger

without cheese or mayo though, says Jane. Brett says steamed bun always. Yeah. Because Brett doesn't mind the weight there. You're anti the weight. Can you steam a Kordi P bun? Yeah, surely. Totally, you just asked for the steamed bun.

Where's the steamer? I don't know, it must be in a package. But it's a different bun Totally. You just asked for the steamed bun. Where's the steamer? I don't know, it must be in a package. But it's a different bun too. It doesn't have the sesame seeds. It's smooth. Right, it's like a brioche. It's a cheeseburger bun, isn't it? Yeah, it's a cheeseburger bun.

It's a cheeseburger bun. Far out. But I don't know if you get that on, if they do that on the quarter pounder if you ask. Can we get McDonald's now? I'm so hungry for it. I reckon I can ask. Chicken burgers must have pineapple and barbecue sauce

and no pickles ever. I know this is a controversial opinion, but it is mine, says Samantha. Okay. Chicken burger must have pineapple and barbecue sauce. I do love a bit of pineapple in chicken burger. Where's she ordering a chicken burger with barbecue? Oh, with pineapple, rather.

I don't know. It's an odd request. Yeah, not everyone would be able to compensate that. Yeah, yeah, do you have pineapple? My husband does, he modifies it every single time and it is so annoying that man hates cheese, says Chelsea. I'm sorry, you can't have a burger with no cheese. That's two people who don't like cheese.

You also don't, you can't hate cheese. Yeah, who hates cheese? That's the most insane thing I've ever heard. That's not a real thing. No, cheese hate, are you kidding me? Cheese hate, let's end cheese hate, guys. Yeah, actually let's get behind the cause. Let's stand. No, cheese hate. Are you kidding me? Cheese hate. Let's end cheese hate guys. Yeah, actually let's get behind the cause. To end cheese hate.

Niamh said, People be picky bitches. That's all she says. People be picky bitches. Karen said, Pickles vomit. Well that's fine. You don't eat the pickles. More pickles for me. I used to always be like that and then I just, I think my taste buds matured. Yeah me too. I used to think they were a bit ugh. And now I'm like, for me. I used to always be like that, and then I just, I think my taste buds matured. Yeah, me too.

I used to think they were a bit ugh, and now I'm like, more me. I love pickles. I'll just have a pickle burger, pickle martini, pickle. Oh yeah, pickle everything. Pickle everything. They sting you with their sauces these days, says Jayden, so I'll always, you know, have a go for more sauces.

Double sauce. Kristy said, it depends, I'm allergic to sesame seeds, so if it's a burger with seeds on the bun, I get the bun changed to other buns, so I don't die. That's fair enough. I actually think that's fair enough. Cause salad on a burger is rank, said Katie. So I'll be open to that.

It goes all mushy, doesn't it? Ross Boss just text us, place your McDonald's orders, I'm on my way home. Oh, no, we couldn't. I've just had breakfast. Goodness. But maybe some nugs. Should I get nugs? Breakfast first.

Carry on. Depends on where from. Mac is no. Who am I to tell Ronald McDonald how to better his burgers? But the pub, maybe. It depends what the sauce is, as I have allergies. Okay, so you've got to check your sauces. I do like that someone here is respecting the sort of authority on the burger kingdom

that Ronald McDonald has. As sort of the lord of authority on the Burger Kingdom that Ronald McDonald has. Yes. As sort of the Lord of the Land. And that is Silly Little Pony. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. We're actually going to Taupo for King's birthday weekend. That's next weekend. It's with some friends, I know. I'm very much looking forward to it.

And now we've got a new thing to do. The sculpture trail walk. I didn't know they had one. Lots of, there's lots of sculpture trails around New Zealand. Isn't there? Wait, so this new statue isn't like a town statue like the fish.

No, it's an ongoing, it's part of the sculpture trail walk. It's not like- Oh my God, why are people upset about this? Because it costs a hundred. Is it a white guy who colonized us and then we celebrate him? Better, it's a, from the bottom of the geometric rock to the top of the mirror-reflective shiny dinosaur

at seven metres. I love that people got upset over this. That's a big one. Taupo District Council contributed a one-off grant of $100,000 to go towards a destination sculpture made by the Taupo Sculpture Trust. And so a long-necked, sort of a Ebrontosaurus situation dinosaur. Yeah, I love that. And so a long-necked sort of a Ebrontosaurus situation

dinosaur made of a mirror reflective material on top of a large geometric rock is the latest attraction. I love it. I love it. Also $100,000 for a sculpture, a ginormous seven foot piece of artwork. I didn't really think that's bad. No, no.

It's gonna probably make people stop on their way through. Get a photo with the dinosaur sculpture. And you know, locals are like, I don't get it. What's our connection to dinosaurs? We've got, you know, the freshwater lake, trout fishing. Well, you know, taxpayers don't like spending $100,000 on anything. No.

So it was $200,000. Oh, okay. Well, the council spent $100,000 on it. Right, and then who paid for the rest of it? I don't know, there was a- A private. Everybody chipped in, I think, and then passed around a plate. don't know there was a private everybody chipped in I think they're around a plate he's called boom boom yeah boom

boom the big boom boom the big reflective dinosaur they are also facing a rate increase so they're like we're getting a rate increase so and buying dinosaurs it boils down to the dinosaur was four to five dollars from every single rate payer and now we're getting an 8% tech increase. So is it just gonna get blown on more dinosaurs? I'd pay five dollars for a dinosaur. I'd chip in five dollars for a dinosaur. I'd chuck in a fiver for that. I love that people calling it an eyesore, as in S-A-U-R.

That's good. That's really good stuff. I quite like it. But you know what? It's art and it's already doing its job. And people are talking about it. The publicity alone from this would be worth more than a hundred thousand. It's been on all the news. Everyone's talking about it.

Yeah. They're talking about Topor. Yeah. I'm not driving past without getting out and having a photo with Boom Boom, the reflective dinosaur. I don't even know they had a sculpture trail. And now I do know they had a sculpture trail. Yeah. That could be your caption too. I saw. I saw. Stomped off to see this I saw. Or I saw.

The dinosaur. I saw the dinosaur. I saw the dinosaur. I saw the I saw. I saw the I saw. I saw the I saw. Love it. Let's do a trip.

Play ZM's Flesh, Born and Haley. Play ZM's Flesh, Born and Haley. We got a new dating reality show. It's called Sneaky Links. Do you think they'll ever stop making these? I hope not. We've got a new dating reality show. It's called Sneaky Links. Do you think they'll ever stop making these? I hope not. You just cannot watch enough of these.

Let's just play a little bit of the trailer for Sneaky Links, Dating After Dark, coming to Netflix very soon. I am so ready to be in love. I'm ready for something real. I'm moving out of my whole face. I'm trying to find true love. What is he doing here? Sup, people?

It was a high school thing. That is old. I thought I was going to see a whole new set of singles. You have been brought here with the person that you love having casual sex with. So, Sneaky Links, it's the same kind of premise as you would imagine, like Love Island and whatnot. We're all coming into a big villa. Everybody's hot.

But, the other people coming in are your casual hookups. Your little friends with benefits, or your little booty call. What you hooked up with once, and then all of a sudden they're there, and you're like, oh, I'm bored. Maybe you hook up casually every now and then. Okay.

And then they kind of bring them in and I think their premise behind it, they're calling it potentially the riskiest dating show from the network of Netflix. Okay. And they're bringing in your hookup and then you kind of have to watch as your booty call, who you're like, oh my God,

we're never gonna meet anything more than that starts flirting with other people from the thing. You know what I mean? And then you're like if you're feeling a jealousy maybe you're gonna try to form a deeper connection with your booty call and apparently it gets very dramatic. Right. So one of the quotes was she didn't just come for what was that she didn't just step on my toes, she came for my neck. That's good. Vaughn, you can even admit that's good. Nah. I don't think I will.

Janine, you must be looking forward to this as a reality show trash watcher, Gurley? Absolutely, it's been on my watch list for weeks. Absolutely, like so. When does it come out? Today. Today, right. Yeah, so it'll come out,

Netflix always does like a 9pm or something, but this will be my absolute weekend binge. I will finish it in one go. And full season drop. Yes. Full season drop today. Not weekly, oh that's good, okay. To all 10 episodes streaming May 21st.

Americans or British? Americans. Americans, yeah. I just think it's, like I'm not into this kind of reality show, but it's always just better when it's British. It's more trashed. They go into.

It's more authentically trashed. Yeah. Every now and then the couples or whoever, the partnerships go into a link low down where they have to sort of like get locked in together and have a big old talk about the state of things. Lots of partner swapping and drama and jealousy. And then, at the end, they have to decide whether or not

they're gonna hard launch their relationship, or if they're gonna leave the motel alone. It's kind of set up like a roadside motel. Oh, okay, that's kind of cool. No, it's actually like, it's really bougie. Right. I was gonna say, roadside motels, not bougie, fan-estly. Yeah, but you know those kind of like, I don't know,

just those scenes in movies and TV shows? Oh yeah, CDS. They always just look CDS. Someone's DC, someone's so CDS. So they've made a set that's like that. No, it's quite grand. I think they're just trying to distance themselves from like the villa.

The villa. The villa. Something different. Someone's coming into the villa or the big brother house. Can I balance up this trash? Where's something I just finished on Netflix? I literally just Googled one of the best TV shows of 2025 and none of them are reality TV shows

and I'm gonna drop some. What? Did they not see this season of maths? Are you upset about that? Yeah, that's just clearly wrong. Yeah, have they heard of Below Deck? Have they even heard of it? That's not on the first four lines.

I just finished, I don't even know how to say this right but I think it's the Etonaut. The Etonaut. Which is the Argentinian. Ethernet cable. The Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port. It's about an Ethernet cable that gets knocked

out of the router. I know. And then everyone's like, oh no, the world's crashing down. We've got no internet. And everyone's like, oh my god, it's not the thing. It's an Argentinian show, Six Eps. Oh, now I know what you're watching. And it's based on a graphic novel

from like the 50s or 60s or something. After a deadly snowstorm kills millions of people, John Salvo and a group of survivors battle an alien menace controlled by an invisible force, 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is so good. I will say the opening scene, there's this boat and it's like so poorly shot,

like the CGI or the, it's obviously, I'm just like, oh, is it gonna be like this? But going forward, like the CGI is incredible. And I did not go, maybe they put in the wrong one, the first draft. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I was just like, oh, that doesn't look like they're in there. I don't know, it just looked a bit tacky.

I was like, God, is this gonna be what the whole show's like? But it's not, it's not, it's amazing. And it's so beautifully shot. And yeah, it's top 10 shows and top show in a lot of countries around the world at The moment do they have surprise? Contestants arrive who you've dated surprise survivors turn up. Oh, they're not a surprise anymore It is so good definitely 100% the. No, but it's, it is so good. Definitely 100% worth watching. What's it called?

Ah, the Eternote, but it's Spanish, so you've got to subtitles, but don't do dubbing because you're better than that. You're better than that. You are better than watching a show dubbed. Remember when you need to read as a child? You can still do that. It's hard though, because you've got to put your phone down

for the whole show. Oh no, how horrible. Yeah, and then you miss bits if you have to read. Yeah. What if I'm texting? What if I'm watching Instagram reels as I'm watching this thing? No, it's not that show.

You do that thing I do when there's subtitles. If you see like in Spanish, a long sentence is coming in and the number two is in there. You start listening for the odd ones you might know. Yeah. Play. ZM.

Spledge, Vaughn and Hayley. Sitting at the kitchen table enjoying a meal. What are we eating? I can't remember. It was like a few days ago. Oh, okay. Steak, I think. I've had steak and sausages.

Oh, steak and sausages. Oh no, the girls have sausages, I have steak. But there's always a sausage left and I'll have myself. Oh, if we're doing a barbecue, I'm going steak, but then there's a sausage. There's a couple of sausages. I'll put a sausage on the plate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The sausages aren't for the kids, but they can't eat all their sausages.

It's a secondary meal. It's a little treat. It's a treat for finishing your food. That's right. You get the treat of more food. More food. And it was raining. And I said to the girls, I was like,

can you hear that distant party? No, no, what are you talking about? You know when a party's at a distance, it was like dinner time. When party's at a distance, it's like, boop, boop, boop. And we live from not too far up the road from like a events place, where they do have big events.

And I was like, I didn't know there was something going on this weekend. And I was like, can you hear that? And they're like, yep. And it was just that distant, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop, doop. God, I hate that. I feel so triggered by that. The worst, it's the worst. Remember when I lived in Avondale, just that distant. Yeah. I hate that.

The worst. It's the worst. Remember when I lived in Avondale and that was every day. Yeah. Yeah. All my glasses and my camera would be like, that was just your neighbors. Yeah. All your cars in the driveway. And their cars. If it's going past, you're like, well, it's not going to last. But when it's just down the road and it's like, oh, I wonder how long this is going to go for.

Yeah. And after a while, I was like, man, I'll give them something that's a consistent beat. Beautiful beat the Ems. Got a metronome on. Do, do, do, do. And that was when August was like, dad, that's the water dripping off the roof onto the deck. Oh, God.

But dripping doesn't happen like that. Dripping's not like, do, do, do, do. Dripping's like this. Yeah. This was a week. When it gets to that, do, do, do, do, do. Tripping's like this. Do, do, do, do. Yeah. This was a week. Cause when it gets to that, do, do, do, it turns into a trickle. It must have been a lot of rain.

Or a drizzle. It must have been the perfect amount of rain. Yeah. The perfect amount of rain to cause a drum and bass beat. Because when it drizzles. It means you get your mic out and get Charlie Puth to sample it. Yeah, I'll send it to Charlie Puth.

I'll send my phone out and record it. Or I can give it to Joel. Yeah. He's coming in soon. Yeah, I'll send it to Charlie Puth. I'll send my phone out and record it. Or I can give it to Joel. Yeah. He's coming in soon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe Joel. I just recorded the rain at a very specific, you know, millimeters per hour

that made my roof create the perfect drum and bass beat. Yeah. Now we're in the club. Listen to your dripping. It's not beats per minute, it's drops per minute. Yeah, drops per minute. Yeah. Here comes the drop. A boof, bo on the deck. Yeah. I've never heard it like that before. And the girls are like, yeah, no, you, I guess. I don't think you're going crazy. I just

think that's listening to loud music and radio for the last 20 something years. We were in my Land Rover driving and we're driving and I was like, oh, that doesn't sound good. And when you drive an old Land Rover, nothing sounds good. No. You're constantly. Everything's rattling. Everything's rattling. You just, when you drive over road works,

it's like you're driving a tin can and the stone's at the bottom of the car and it's like a crazy attack. And I could hear this, tunk, tunk, tunk, tunk, tunk. And I was like, something's loose in that engine. Now Charlie Puth would come in and he would lay that on top.

Why Charlie Puth? She's obsessed with Charlie Puth would come in, and he would layer that on top. Why Charlie Puth? Because that's what Charlie does is he records tapping cups and stuff, and then turns it into bits. So he'd layer that. So I was like, that doesn't sound good. That sounds like, well, we've got a carburetor issue. Yeah. And then August, again, much keener ear.

Yeah. Just put her finger on my drink bottle, which was rolling back and forth in the little metal shelf that is in an old Land Rover. And it was like, yeah, it was just going, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink. Right, so you don't need to fix the lad. Okay, right. That's just good youth hearing.

Thank God. Yeah. You know, like those sounds only people under 21 can hear. Yeah, the anti-loitering noises. I'm very, cause you know I have my one ear. I'm maintaining that. I listen to my headphones on for radio, I'm just on one ear.

Yeah. Cause I've got very good hearing., I'm just on one ear. Yeah. Cause I've got very good hearing. That means. It's like annoying. Yeah. But then I'll be off balance, you're gonna see me when I leave radio, just always sort of veering to the left.

Well yeah, just going in circles. Cause you're slightly there. Slow circles. Oh! Please, ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We're joined in studio by, I would consider a long-term friend. Oh no. Yes.

We've known each other since we were absolute little ratbags. Joel Little, hello. Hey, yeah, we go way back, man. We go way back, good night nurse days, and then after that, you've just kind of stepped into superstardom and I've remained a humble man of the people. Yes.

Literally cleaning up cow shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, wiping chickens' asses and, you know, farm yard stuff. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, wiping chickens arses and farm yard stuff. Yeah, that's right. But you're a busy, you're a busy dude. Yes, I'm a music producer for those that don't know, songwriter. Probably best known for Lorde's Pure Heroine, who and I made that together. Worked with Taylor Swift. I've worked with Niall Horan, Shawn Mendes, Khalid, Imagine Dragons, lots of people. I feel like you didn't need to keep going.

I could just say Lorde's, Pure Heroin, and Taylor Swift. I've been doing that for a minute now. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, doing all that. And then now I was living in LA for a while, and then moved back to New Zealand and have gotten involved with Music Helps, which

is the New Zealand's biggest music charity. So I'm on the board there. And also have a not-for-profit venue and Studio space called Big Fan in Auckland was this was there anything like this when you were coming up through? No, like Big Fan. No, no, there wasn't and that was kind of why I wanted to do it was Just I'm in a position where I could help and wanted to give people that were in the position that I was back then Opportunities to kind of get their career going a little more quickly and up-skill and all that stuff that would have been amazing for me to have

when I was a little runty muso trying to crack the big time. Do you know what we need to send Joel at the end of the year is our, we're making a calendar and this year's theme is it's all of the RockQuest band names that we come up with in the moment. Nice. When something weird happens or someone says an unusual phrase we'll often say

that of course was our Rock West band name. I always think about those bands because some of those bands were absolutely amazing but you've got no access to equipment like at a recording studio and you're recording into your iPhone it sounds like crap you can't get on the internet. So that's amazing to be able to like provide that. Yeah and you just need like I had people like my music teacher at school, she would let, we had this crappy little PA in the music room and she would let us borrow it to play at parties

on the weekends and things. That's so cool. Having people like that around to just kind of encourage you and support what you're trying to do, that's such a big part of what keeps you going and so that's what we want a big fan to be. Do you feel happier behind the scenes or, you know, be all eyes on you?

Like doing interviews and stuff? I mean, no, I don't, I was the singer in good night nurse but reluctantly I feel like I just liked writing songs and only did it because there was no one else to do it so I much prefer being in the studio and even be like coming to do interviews and stuff I'm like but that would just never be made behind the scenes even actors like so many of my actor friends I want to get into wrecked erecting I'm God no, no one's looking at you. Act or direct, one of those ones where you put yourself

in your own movie. Oh, that would be the only way I could do it. But do you ever like, you're not used to, you don't miss the spotlight, you don't miss that. Not at all, even like posting on social media, I'm like, ugh, like I just don't, you know, it's good that everyone, there's different personalities for different types of situations,

otherwise we'd all be trying to do the same thing. So I'm very happy to be behind the scenes. It's nice to, I kind of get to benefit from the success of all these songs but then I can just kind of go about my life and no one really knows who I am. Without being like paparazzi, paparazzi. A lot of people I work with are just so famous and they just have to deal with so much crap. Yeah, yeah, screw that. Why did you move back to New Zealand given like LA's the centre of all entertainment

music movies, television and stuff. Is there a different vibe? Why did you move back to New Zealand given LA's the centre of all entertainment, music, movies, television and stuff? Is there a different vibe? Obviously a wildly different vibe to West Auckland. Definitely a different vibe. I mean it was honestly more family, just wanting our kids to, I kind of went over there with some goals and achieved the things that I was trying to achieve. And I still love going over there, I still have a studio there that I travel to a lot.

But we wanted our kids to feel like they were Kiwis. Because I loved having a Kiwi childhood. We wanted them to have that. And all of our family are here. And LA's super fun, but it's almost like not the real world some of the time. And it's quite like all of our friends there weren't from there.

Everyone goes there when they have cracked it or are trying to crack it. And so there's a lot of people coming and going and we just wanted the family to feel a bit more settled. Can you talk about Music Helps? Because their charity has been around for ages. Yeah, yeah. What is it exactly that it does?

Because it does not just one thing. It's lots of... Yeah, so Music Helps, it's New Zealand's biggest music charity and part of it is it funds hundreds of projects all over the country that use music to help people in different ways, whether that's like music therapy or people in like going people in respite care, funding like small community groups where people just you know have instruments to get together and play and kind of bring local communities together

all that kind of stuff and then another arm of it is within the music community is a lot of it's in New Zealand it's a small industry community there's a lot of, in New Zealand it's a small industry so there's a lot of hardship, a lot of mental health issues and so they provide a well-being service that helps people that work in music in whatever form to get access to help if they need it. How powerful is music? I like not to get too deep on it

but my dad's got Alzheimer's and so I research Alzheimer's a lot and one of the key things that people talk about is music, like keeping that as an ongoing thing to kind of like hold people to a moment in time and retain memory. It blows my mind. I've seen it in person. My grandad had a brain injury later in life and was in a care home but you put music on it just changes everybody. They get taken back to their youth or like special moments throughout their life and people who can't even speak can all of a sudden sing. It's pretty amazing.

Yeah 100%. People can just donate money right? I was gonna say willy-nilly. Yeah they can. You can just donate money at any amount at any time. You can yeah you can just go musichelps.org.nz and donate whatever anytime but there's also if you want to right now you can text music to 2448 for an instant $3 donation. I love that. And then it's a New Zealand Music T-shirt Day next Friday, the 30th of May, which is like another big kind of, it's just, it's a big celebration of New Zealand music,

but also a great way to get your office space together or whatever and get people to wear their favorite band T-shirt from New Zealand and donate some money there as well. Can you tell us any like, gossips with what you're working on next or who you're working with? Oh man it's such a it's such a funny thing because I work with I mean like for example a couple weeks ago I was in Nashville I was writing with Noah Khan who I've worked with. Oh my god that album is incredible. album? Well I did the first two albums but not the last one. I was like I did I've done these two unsuccessful albums and he was like you know I needed a

step I needed a stepping stone. Oh that's you. That's me. Please back to step on your stone. Yeah but we just I mean we're just buddies so like we were hanging out and we were playing golf and writing songs and but you know I write with people like that all the time and sometimes the songs come out and sometimes they don't so it's just like It's a bit of a luck of the draw thing like sometimes we write something good. Sometimes we don't What does it do with right? You write a song and it doesn't end up making his album But he's happy to have a writing credit and you're like this would actually work with someone else

I mean this sounds like I've got to talk to an entertainment lawyer, but and you're like, this would actually work with someone else. I mean, this sounds like I've got to talk to an entertainment lawyer, but. No, that can happen. Yeah. Sometimes they don't even know it. Who was saying that recently that someone had written a song for them and then Britney was suddenly singing on the radio with No. Yeah, I did see that.

With No consent and was like, that's mine. Yeah, I wrote that. Yeah. I mean, that's not a great situation, obviously, for that person. But I mean, it's also like I if I was gonna do that Probably have to get somebody else to sing the demo of that song because if the Noah version leaks You know a lot of people Something he would want out in the world so this is that but yeah

I've definitely written songs with people that have been being used by other people I want to know like because you've worked with so many famous people. What do you save them under on your phone? You know, like, because you've worked with so many famous people, what do you save them under on your phone? Like, do you know what I mean? Like, surely it's not like, Taylor, do you know what I mean? Or she texts you. There's certain people that I have put under fake names, but half of them just have their actual name.

It would just be so weird, be like, Bing, who's that mum? Bing, who's that Vaughn Smith? Bing, Taylor Swift. Yes. It's happened driving in the car, and, you know, with the Apple car play on, and like the kids in the back, and they'll see someone's name pop up and they're like, ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooo I was going to. I was going to do it. Wait, what was it? About the Xbox and Ali Golding.

Wait, what's the Xbox and Ali Golding story? I got, so years and years ago we would give away Xboxes every now and then and Joel was like, man I'd love an Xbox. I was like, I can wrangle, I can. This is when I was broaching good manners against like, bro. I am not at any money. All I had for currency was the Xbox giveaways that I could rig. And so I rigged him an Xbox and then you know, all of a sudden he's a superstar and I'm like...

It's weird. It's weird. Then we went and donated to Starship. That's why I wasn't going to bring it up. We donated a few TVs and some Xboxes to Starship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We may not get where we're at. We don't want to go into that charity. Very charitable. Well, musichelps.org.nz if you can donate, it's an incredible cause and you've done so much. Joel Little, thank you so much.

Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Hilarious footage of the owner of a Fiat 500, little zip about. Yeah, little cutie car. Yeah. She pulls up outside of her friend's house. Yeah.

Does this, boop boop, like parks like that, gets out. This is all on security. It'd be a dream to park a fair 500, it's this small. So easy, yeah, so easy. It's fair in anywhere. So she just pulls up the front, locks it, goes inside. This is all on security camera footage. Then you see the car,

she obviously hasn't put the handbrake on. Oh my God, I've done this. And it rolls, rolls, rolls. Rolls rolls rolls rolls rolls Oh, no, there's like a drop like a bank like a retaining. Yeah, a bank. Yeah, and it just and off it goes It's gone and it's like oh no They she didn't hear it it was moving so slowly Yeah, she was already in like hours later and was like, where's my car? Where's my car?

And they're looking around and they assume that it's stolen. So they get on the, just as they're about to call the police, they're like looking all around and then they just see the edge of it in the ditch. And they're like, oh my God, okay, it wasn't stolen. It's literally just rolled away. It's like you hear people losing their car in a like giant shopping car park.

I always have to take a photo of the floor. I always have photos. Because I will be like, third floor, don't anybody forget, going through what I want, floor one, no idea. A lot of the parking buildings have different colors and like, or themes. I'm orange.

Yes. Do you always park when you go to a mall in the same part of the car park? Yes. Cause then I know at least which one I'm in. The big one in Newmarket, I always park by the movies. No, I go to the other side. Oh no, you fool.

No, no, no. It's mostly when I go there it's for the movies. Other side's better. Other side's better. Are you serious? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The movie side is by the movies. You just know, I've just got to find my way back to the movies.

No, other side's second entrance. Don't go to the first, it's too obvious. Sky City goes down like 100 floors. Oh, now that's a real cluster F. Didn't they have like little tickets you could take? Or you could just take a photo. Yes, there's tickets, but you can also put into machine your number and it will tell you where you are.

Oh, that's good. But I was the same, after Friday night, after my shows, I was like trying to find the car with Aaron and we were just like looking, walking around. And that car park has like two kind of ways. And so you'll be like this, like I am on level five. I know. But the wrong one.

I know. I'm on five up, not five down. But there would definitely be people that have done that thinking they'd lost their car. Or thinking that they were like stolen. This is what I want to know. When did you lose your car and assume it was stolen? Because maybe you just, you thought you parked it somewhere.

You came back to where you thought it was and it was gone. You just must've assumed it's gone. Or maybe a friend borrowed your car and you thought it was stolen. Oh my God, yeah, like your boyfriend took it in the morning and you had no idea and you start calling the cops and being like, where's my car? And then your boyfriend comes home with your car

and you're like, oh, that's embarrassing. Oh, I have opened a police file on this. People just forget they'll drive somewhere and then find another way home and then get home in the morning, they're like, my car's gone. I've definitely done that, where I've driven to somewhere

and had drinks or whatever, Ubered home, and then you're just living your day in your house. And then you come out on Monday for work, you're like, where's my car? You never went and got it, Hayley. Okay, 0800 DARSADM9696 give us a text or a call. When did you think your car was stolen? We wanna know though, when you thought your car had been stolen, but in fact it was all your fault or you just misplaced your car.

And Georgia Bird, apparently, you have a story. Well, okay, let me just say I was a teenager and yes, I gas lit my brother. Okay. Okay, that's the preface. Great setup. Great setup. And what I did was illegal. So, here we. Okay, that's the preface. Great setup, great setup. And what I did was illegal. So here we go. Ah!

Thank you for the preface. Okay, well, you're telling the story. Me and the gals got dropped off to go aqua jogging one morning at high school. Oh my god, we used to go aqua jogging at high school too. It was a bit of fun, eh? It was a bit of a laugh. Why didn't you go actual swimming?

I know, it was like actually jogging. What did you like to do? Because old people did it at the time, so I felt like, oh, this is kind of fun, old people are doing this. Yeah, we did it too. That's famously what teenagers think about everything. I think it's pretty awesome. Like, man, all the old people are doing it, let's do that.

So that's what we did. Anyway, I was on my learners at this point, but we'd finished aqua jogging, and my brother was using my car, but I just took the key with me everywhere, because I was like, the extra key, because I was like, whatever. Anyway, I said to the girls,

hey, how good would it be if we went and got some mac'ers for breakfast? I'll just take- You made all that room after burning off the energy in aqua-chop. Exactly. I'll just take the car. You know, you can't do that.

I was like, no, no, no, all good, I'll take the car. So we go off, get a McMuffin and all that kind of jazz, come back, my brother's car park isn't there. Obviously, school started, everyone else has rocked up. So I'm like, oh, he won't know. I'll just park it further down the street, way further down, like down a block. He calls me at lunch, he's like crying,

like freaking out, George, someone's stolen the car. Someone's, I was like, what? And Fully was just so angry at him. He's like, someone's stolen the car, like I don't know what to do. And I was like, oh, come out and help you find it. You sure you parked in the same spot you always park it in?

What, had you just forgotten? Oh no, I knew that I'd moved it. Oh, I'm not supposed to be driving the car because I'm one of my learners. So you're like, we should walk down here and see if you parked it here. So I was like, you sure? Like, let's check all the streets around school.

Like, you might have forgot you parked in it. He's like, I park in the same spot every day. This is gaslighting. And I fully made him upset. And like to this day, probably until now, he doesn't know. Are you kidding me? You haven't told him until now?

No, cause he did stuff to me, you know? Yeah, it all comes out in the wash. Exactly, today's the day it came out in the wash. So here we go. I should hate this. That is wild. Oh my God, how did it get there? Well not the only one, some messages in. Just so many people, and lots of people saying same situation, they park the car, they never put the handbrake on.

It rolls away, ends up a couple of hundred metres away. Or gets towed because someone thinks it's... And then they report it to the police as a stolen car. Oh my god, same thing happened to me. Parked up outside the Chinese takeaway to pick up dinner. Walk back outside with my take out, my car is no longer there. I just left the handbrake off and it rolled backwards

down the road across the centre line into a power pole. Car was totalled. Oh my god. So it's just gone, and this. And then, do you reckon you're just gonna sit on the curb on the footpath and eat your Chinese? Yeah, I reckon. Oh, what, I don't want a cold.

No I don't want a cold. No you can't exactly. Egg-Fu-Yong cold doesn't work. No, no. You're putting it back in and get the cutlery. Yeah. Keep your texts coming in, 9696 0800 Darls and M. When did you think your car was stolen? When did you think that your car had been stolen?

As a woman did after her car rolled down a bank. Chase, was this you or your friend? Oh I've got a story where I decided that I'd lend my van to my friend he was in need of it it was like a caravan you see. Oh yeah. So he borrowed that over the weekend I thought I'd let him go away and I think it was the Monday morning I woke up early at like 6am and I was like, you know, be hilarious if I just go around to his house use my use my spare key And I'm just take the van and not tell him So he must have woken up the vans gone from his driveway, which is like behind the gate and stuff. Yeah and

He didn't get in touch with me until it was like in the afternoon, he's like, oh mate, you know, freaking out that it's been stolen. And I let him steal on it for a bit. I was like, oh, look. Chase! Chase! I'll come around, I'll help you look for it together.

And then anyway, I drive around there in the bloody van and yeah, that's the bloody van and yeah. Oh my God. You're a minister of society. What a lad. God, I would be so pissed off at you. All that stress. Yeah. He probably didn't get in touch with you until later because he was trying to sort it out.

Yeah, yeah. Well, he thought it was stolen. He was, he reckoned he had been looking like walking around to see if anyone had, I don't know why someone would take it and just park it down the road. But he went for a look and I was like, oh, come help ya. But yeah, nah. You just asked me to be stitched up in return too.

I think you're asking for it. Yeah, yeah, he owes you. Chase, thank you, some messages in. On my daily car a few years back, you always had to warm it up in the winter because it drove like shit when it wasn't warmed up. And when it came out 10 minutes later and it was like, somebody, I left my keys in the car and the car was running.

The car was like, oh no. But it hadn't. It had rolled 20 meters down the driveway through a bush, which the bush popped back up perfectly like a cartoon bush. Oh, it hit it. Over the bank, down into a creek. No damage at all. Just got in and drove it out of the creek.

That's good news. What? You can drive your, you just drove your car out of a creek? What kind of car this was? Yeah. I got a big RAV4 engine. Yeah, I was like RAV. Yeah, like something, something.

Big RAV. A four wheel situation. Yeah, yeah, chucking on four wheel drive, you know, a rear occasion. A really, like late 90s early 2000s RAV. Yeah, those blue ones with the gray bits. Yeah. Yeah, my mom had the blue one with the gray bits.

Yeah. Those were cool. They were, and they opened like that at the back. Was that when she was a real estate agent? Yeah. Big real estate agent. Real estate agent. Oh, because you gotta have your signs in the back. It wasn't a RAV4 it was a Honda Civic. Oh, okay I'm not expected. No, I didn't know those were four-wheel-drive Creek. I didn't know those were like bush adjacent My mom parked in a supermarket once left the park break off in the car roll perfectly straight back into a different car park and

stopped when it hit the The thing that tells you when it stopped. Yeah, and she thought the car been stolen, but she just rolled into another space When I was in my little Fiat 500 with my daughter driving in town the same color Fiat 500 drove past the other direction We both pointed and said oh my god our cars been stolen. It took us both a few seconds to realize we were in the car. That's pretty funny. Yeah. My son rings and casually asks if we know anyone who owns a crane.

Yep. He parked outside his mates and come out to find his van and rolled down the dead end of the street over somebody's retaining wall and planted itself next to somebody's house and the only way to get it out was with a crane. Was a crane.

Oh, unless he rang casual. Hey, do we know anyone with a crane. You know, cranes, everybody's got one, right? Yeah. Does your mate Murray have a crane? My dad thought his car had been stolen at the field days. Just turns out it's a really big car park with heaps of utes in it.

Yeah, and they'd all look the same. Literally all look the same. Can I tell you a story about a ute last night? I was driving at the speed limit in the Suzuki Jimny after dark. The speed limit. I knew what was coming up behind me was a Ford Ranger before I even saw that it was a Ford Ranger.

Ranger Danger. Right up a Ranger Danger. Right up behind me I'm like, I'm doing 80. This is an 80K zone and the police love sitting on this corner. Yeah. Cause they're just picking. What lane were you in?

No, no, it was a single lane road. Country road. 80 kilometers each way down? He goes right up my anus. Yeah. Passes aggressively, gets in front and then flashes me with lights he's had installed on the back of his car.

Oh, massive like big spotlights and at the bottom. It looked like mud flap level. These massive lights like boom. I'm like, what did I do wrong? You just look like a pest on the road. Yeah, I made it take you out. I had a couple of curries on the seat. I can't be driving like a maniac.

You want me to spill curry? My car smells like curry this morning and the curry only had a five minute ride. Yum. And then you have it in teak and masala. I do love teak. You don't want to be covered in tikka masala. I do love tikka masala. Oh, how good is the tikka masala? Play ZM's Fleshpoint in Hayley.

You know what, it's not cancelable. I saw someone do it the other day. You are kidding me.

Oh my God, photos of me on an elephant. It popped up in my memories. I was like, delete, delete, delete. I heard a celebrity on a podcast say they love the elephant riding in Thailand. I was like, you don't. Yeah. Okay.

Thank you. Beautiful horse, beautiful horse. I wanna come ride your horse. Well, Jess too, Well, cheers to congratulations. $100 cash, you are the winner today of What's Your Hobby? I got so excited. My nipples just went really hard. Good day. Hailey.

I just felt them. No, mine remained the same. Thank you. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hailey. There is a woman who was spotted in line at, I think it was a cafe, and I saw this cause it popped up on my Instagram where TikTok reels thrive and survive.

Only the good cut through. The curated. The curated TikTok. And it was a chick and she was in line at a cafe and she's on a phone, as you would be like that, but the phone is completely transparent. Like, it looks like a- It's not even a phone.

It's a perspex. It's a glass. It's a block of perspex. Did you do perspex in hard materials at school? No, we did wood. We actually made candle holders that got recalled by the school because highly flammable. You made perspex candle holders? Yeah. Well that seems a dumb dumb idea.

Because when the candle burns down, the glass they call cash fire. Yeah, hence the recall von of all the students from the last 10 years or whatever it was. What? It took 10 years for this to come to somebody's attention. It was not came out of that. And the school was... Let's not name it. Um, because the Perspex, that was the fun.

We did metalwork and woodwork. But in metalwork they let you play with the Perspex and like sanding it and it would just be like ribbons everywhere and plastic. Oh, it's good stuff. It was great stuff. And we just started filling ourselves with microplastics then and we just didn't stop. Yum, yum, yum.

Yum, yum, yum. What did they say? Oh no, no, no, not lead paint. So bad for you. Yum, yum, yum, yum. Microplastics. Yum, yum, yum. And then we went to Home Economics

and we took the microplastics from metalwork and we baked them into muffins because that's what we did. That's what we did. That's what we did. A podcast I was listening to yesterday said, and they did say, preface it by saying that maybe the results have been questioned, but the average person, they would like cutting open

like dead people and looking at their brains, like a plastic, teaspoon of plastic size. That was the amount. A small teaspoon. That's tiny. A plastic teaspoon is in your brain. Oh wait, to make a plastic teaspoon. To make a plastic teaspoon is in your brain.

That's a weird measurement, but one I'm very familiar with, so I appreciate it. We all know what a plastic teaspoon is, don't we? Yeah, I can see it. What's white. And it's by the deli. Yeah. Must thicken the handle, but weaken the neck Yeah, I can see it. It's white. And it's by the deli. Yeah, it's thick in the handle, but weak in the neck. Very weak in the neck!

Very weak in the neck. And you can still have coffee, and it gets a little bit... I'm not having a stiff punch with that. No, no, no, no, no. That wouldn't go through. I wouldn't even say, you're not gonna get a Ben and Jerry's. Yeah.

Barely. It would have to be almost room temp. Yeah. We'd have to have had other freezer. Yeah. Okay, let's get back to this phone. We can agree on that. So she's standing there with this Perspex or Glass phone

and everyone was like, what? And she's tapping it like you would if you were just scrolling through Instagram or whatever. It's not one of those, because sometimes people spot the people that work at Apple or Samsung in real life using the next model. No.

It's not some kind of minority report, see through iPhone. No, because how would it even be possible? All the workings. So everyone was just baffled by it, it's gone viral. Yeah. Turns out, it's not like a work of art, but the woman who's using it,

she was asked to try it by a friend of hers who created this. It's basically a placebo phone, a metaphone, which is a clear piece of acrylic shaped like an iPhone, and it is to try to cut back on phone addiction. So in your hand, she's like that, tap, tap, tap, but it's just doing nothing.

So you're kind of getting out of the habit of, it's like smoking, right? Nicotine's the addiction, but the physical action is also a habit. And so once you can get rid of that nicotine addiction, the habit stuff is really is hard to get rid of. I remember e-cigarettes didn't even used to have, they just used to, if you put it in your mouth

and sucked it, it turned on a light on the end and it was just that thing of having something in your mouth, having something in your hand, and getting that little visual stimulation of a red thing. Yeah, so this is basically that. It's like you're replacing the physical action, but taking away the addictive nature of it which is the doom scrolling

and the constantly checking messages and emails. Because even if you do delete social media off your phone, you still find yourself picking it up. Picking it up, literally. And then you're like, oh no notifications because you've turned them off. And you close all your apps and you turn it off and then you're like, well I've just opened

all the apps again, what's happened? I know. So it's not actually a real, everyone was like, wow, the future of phones, it's not. It's not. Somebody has messaged in, their favourite plastic spoon was the old red KFC spoons that you'd eat your potato gravy with.

With potato gravy, that was so small though. That was a shovel. Yeah, yeah, small shovel. That was a shovel of the spoon, they had a thick, the thickness went and then just a little out, it came like a little spade. What about the- What about the McFlurry back a P&G?

The McFlurry spoon that was also the mixer. And there's straws in it! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, those were, if we're ranking plastic spoons, they were up there on design alone. Yeah, like what a wonderful idea. And sturdiness. Sturdiness. And the handle, nice square handle. Yeah, really. Didn't serve a lot of purposes outside of the McFlurry.

I'll tell you what, I've got zero time for it. What one is it gonna be? It's bamboo. Yeah, wooden. The bamboo one. No, and you put it in your tongue and you're just like. And the little like bamboo shards are all sort of peeling off the bamboo hairs on the side.

You're like, I can taste it. I can taste the bamboo. What about this thing sort of like moonlighting as a spoon, the straw and a frozen coke with the spooned end? Yeah, I don't like those either. I don't have time for it. I don't have time for it. Just give me a straw.

Just give me a straw. That shovel bit's not doing anything. It's absolutely pointless. No, yeah, give me a fat straw. Yeah. How could it's a fat straw? I've got fat glass straws at home. Yeah, that posh.

I don't like the glass straw. I have those with a smoothie, but I have them also with a cocktail or something like that. Yeah. And they're just really crap. I get to a certain part of the drink and I start chewing my straw. Now I don't think that's gonna work with me in class.

No, maybe you just need metal. What about the old Air New Zealand Blue see-through plastic spoons? Too small. I do kind of remember those. I remember them. They're too small. Too small.

Yeah. All right, somebody said, I'm all with you on that. We've kind of, if we may digress to spoon chat. Sidebar. Spoons. The best plastic spoon was the old kiwifruit knife spoon that came with a box of kiwifruit. I'm not familiar with this.

Especially the golden ones, it was like a yellow kind of Oh yes, I remember those. Oh, and one had a serrated bit to cut it in half and then it was a very flat. That had big survival tool energy to it. Yeah, you'd get them in like camping stores. Yeah, like a spork. Yeah.

Kispery, oh my God. Zespry. Oh yeah, zespry. Where does she get kispery? Zespry. Kiwi group. I just can't even imagine that kiwi, yeah. Yeah.

Oh man, I used to keep those. I would like to have one. Wendy's ice cream spoon. I don't know, I'm not familiar to me. I'm not familiar with the Wendy's ice cream spoon. It must be a good spoon though. They call it a spife. Not those fold in half ones that were in a yoghurt.

Some yoghurt bottles. No, no, no, you put a fold in a spoon handle, you've lost all of your structural integrity. I'd rather thumb the yoghurt into my mouth. I'm just going to get the into the puddle and just... Yeah. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Haley. I didn't press the button.

Oh, that was... That was... Wait a minute, wait a minute. This is another Jess. How many Jesses? This is the third Jess of the hour. How many Jesses? You have the best one.

Whoa. This is... This is Comfort Jess. I was just about to say Jesses? You have the best one. How many? Whoa! This is, this is Comfort Jess. I was just about to say Jess three, but she's Jess one. So now she's Alpha Jess. Alpha Jess. She's Jess three, but she's Alpha Jess.

Yeah, right. Well, I want to see how many Jesses we can get on before the end of the show. I know we've got to. I'll keep trying. No, you don't know. No, you've Jessed your Jess. No, you've Jessed your Jess.

Well, now if you've already got three, you're not allowed to call again. No, no, no, no. And we will be checking. No double ups. For the Jesses, Tom. If your name. No, you've jest your jest. Well, now if you've already got through, you're not allowed to call again. No, no, no, no, and we will be checking. No double ups. For the jest-a-thon. If your name is jest, call us right now. And throughout the rest of the show, we're just gonna be hearing from jest-a-spiratic.

And we call it a jest-a-thon. Yeah, there's a jest-a-thon. I love that, I love that. Changed your name and the phone system to jest-alpha. So when you call, you'll be known as alpha jest. You will be the alpha of all the jests. We've got a jest here on line five, one jest. Don't bother calling the show unless your name is Jess.

For the next one. Just from here on out. We are about to. We're gonna do a phoner. Yeah. Only for Jesses. I tell you what, I hope some Jesses have been reviewed poorly because.

I mean we could just hear from Jesses. I think with the phoner coming up we say, now are you calling for the phoner or are you a Jess? Yeah. And they're like, I'm a Jess and I thank you very much for calling. We'll take both. And being part of Jess and phoner and then

the next one. Love that. And if we find a Jess who is also calling, with the topic we're gonna talk about soon, have you been very much for calling. We'll be, we'll just take both. And being part of Jeff and Phon, and then the next one, the Bad Review. And if we find a Jess who is also calling, with the topic we're gonna talk about soon, have you been badly reviewed? Yeah, double win for Jess. Okay, right now though, it's time for Ah! Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day!

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- Thunder only happens when there's lightning. Thunder and lightning are the same thing. Join us, we're gonna talk about that later. But today's fact of the day, last night, my daughter was like, what's tomorrow's fact of the day? She loves doing this. It's tomorrow's fact of the day. It's about lightning, eh? I was like, sure it is.

Have you ever heard of positive lightning? She's like, I have not, I'm a 10 year old. Yeah. She's like, why would I have heard of that, dad? Why would I have heard about it? That's so lame. Do you know about lol dolls or something? What?

I actually do know a lot about lol dolls because my children were right in that age of are these fishnet wearing tiny skank dolls appropriate for preschoolers? Tiny little skank dolls. These skank dolls are making my children into a skank. Am I allowed to say skank? No. No, I don't think so.

I thought we were taking it back. But you did ride a... I'm taking it back. You did ride an elephant in Thailand. I've never ridden an elephant in Thailand. I thought we were taking it back. But you did ride a, I'm somewhat of a scamp. You did ride an elephant in Thailand. So I've never ridden an elephant in Thailand. I have twice. I watched the monkey with the chain around its neck get a coconut, but I wasn't happy about it.

Okay, let's just, I need this job. So let's not start like really nilly sharing things that we should be careful of. We are being distracted from lightning week. And today we're talking about positive lightning, the supercharged cousin of the more common negative lightning okay positive lightning just tried smiling yeah just come on come on negative

negative lightnings the lightning we see all the time okay it's the most common sort of lightning it comes from the bottom of the cloud now supercharged positive lightning comes from the top of the cloud. Oh the positively charged upper region of the cloud So there are more bottoms and tops Bottoms are more popular more common than tops and positives I said the positive lighting builds at the top of the cloud and it's when there's a big like you imagine a big huge deep Thunder cloud now and it's circular Circulating around yeah, and ice crystals are being. Effectively, lightning is just this massive static charge

from things crashing into each other. Just like if you rub your feet on the carpet and then touch your pal and they get a shock. Don't do that, I don't like shocks. I hate them too. And your mom will be like, stop giving your brother electric shocks with the carpet. But when the positive lightning goes,

it goes down through the cloud and goes through, thank you Hailey for eating an apple, and then strikes down to negatively charged areas on the ground. So this is the other thing. It could be, you can get struck by positive lightning like 35 Ks away from the thunderstorm because it comes out.

It's looking for a negatively charged part of the earth and it needs to find one to make the connection and if the closest one's 35 Ks away, it's so powerful it will leap. Yeah if you're holding your golf club 35 K's away you're gone. That's why they say that's a hundred percent what they're saying if you're on a negatively charged piece it's gonna take the shortest one and if you're playing golf and your backswing is just beautifully one two three through and you're gone. Lightning doesn't care if you're

Rory McElroy or the actual golfer whose name is Rory McElroy. Yeah. It doesn't care. It doesn't care. It doesn't discriminate. Makes up the less than 10% of lightning strikes, but 10 times more powerful. If you were hit by it, you will have surged through you

one billion volts and 300,000 amps. Okay. No thanks. No, I'm good. It lasts longer, it starts all the fires, it also causes something in the atmosphere called red sprites. And so today's fact of the day.

We're just done with this fact. Is it enough? Well I wanna hear from a chess. Any chess is on the- Hurry up! We're late. Today's fact of the day is there's a supercharged cousin to the ordinary lightning called positive lightning

Fact of the day day day day day Yeah, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Do do do do do Do Also accepting texts from Jess. Oh my god, okay Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I just want to Jess's, flowing in. A lot of Jess's listening.

A lot of Jess's listening. Yeah. Don't know why I've been asked to be texting in by Vaughan, but here I am, I am Jess. Yeah. I am Jess, have you ever watched? So many. Jess checking in, another Jess.

It's essentially giving me an idea. Okay. It's an idea that won't come to fruition immediately. But it's an idea that will pop its head up soon. Okay, stay tuned. I've got an idea. Stay tuned, Lester. I've got an idea.

We're gonna do a bit of a work in progress. A little bit of a- Should we do a writer's room? We'll just get this in the writer's room. We'll just chuck some ideas. Work it out. Put some posts at nights on a wall. Right now though, Hayley, your comedy show

for the Comedy Fest. Wrapped last week, and by the way, it is the last week of the International Comedy Festival. So go and see some comedians, some amazing comedians out performing every night this week. But I'm done, so snooze you lose. But on my Wellington season, so not last week but the week before, I received a review and I was like,

oh no, I usually don't get reviews. I say no, because I don't care and I know that I'm talking about it, makes it seem like I do care. I don't, but I did receive a review. But also you don't read the reviews, right? No, you don't read the reviews, but I just read this because I didn't really,

it was a whole bunch of reviews in one article. Right, about all the shows. About just some of the shows that had been on in the festival, and one of the bits that I thought was quite funny, he didn't like the show, he didn't think it was great. But I said, this is- Was he who the show was intended for?

Every show has like an intended audience? No, no, it's a man who's older than my father. I know, I just Googled this guy and he's like a business writer. Who like, yeah, looks quite old, which is not a problem. No, no, no, but just... But like, that's not something you would go to, so why did you effing go? I know, I know, listen. Not for you, not for you.

I hate this so much when a journalist goes to one of my favourite bands or something and then they've got all these critiques but then obviously not a fan. I would be like sitting at some prudish Christian gentleman to a Metallica concert and being like, did you enjoy it? It's not for you. No, but the one bit of the review I really thought was funny was it's a funny show. Oh, okay, so you got a good review.

Wait a minute. But what does it say that this, my second comedy festival show, is also the second show in which somehow the subject of haircare for the most intimate of nether regions is such a significant feature. Please don't let this be a trend. Oh, spoiler for you there champ, pubes are funny.

Pubes are funny. Pubes are funny. Women removing their pubes is even funny. Yeah. And now Fletch, you know the context of that story. It's the end of the show. Pubs are funny! Pubs are funny! Women removing their pubes is even funnier. And now Fletch, you know the context of that story. It's the end of the show. And we all gave you rave reviews for your comedy show.

Anyway, I know, but I just think it's funny that he really hated that I talked about my pubes. And I want to share in the wallow of this negative review that I've received. Because you're always going to remember this. It will just help me to let it go. Maybe that's what you can say when you do your next Baroness show. Yeah.

The following story received a poor review. A poor review on the mention of me removing my intimate nether region hair. Yep. I wanna know if you've been poorly reviewed. I was just gonna go to our podcast reviews on- Oh yeah, yeah, we can have a look. Oh no, you don't read reviews.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe you've had a poor performance review. You know what, like people that have businesses that get Google reviews. Oh yeah, yeah, yelps. Because there's nothing that you can do about it. No. Especially if you've got a competitor.

Yes, you've just got to. And they're like going you. Yeah, you've got to, they could set up a false account, you've just got to deal with it, you can't have it removed. Okay, here's another one. Trade me. You, oh yes, have it removed. Okay, here's another one. Trade me. Oh yes, have you had a bad trade me review?

Or you work somewhere that is in a service industry and you get named in a hotel review? Yes, I dealt with Carlos at reception. He was very rude. There was nothing short of rude and abrupt. Yeah, someone that's not happy because they only paid $100 for a hotel and it's, I don't know, not up to standard.

I just love that thing of like, I turned up to pick up my trade me chair. The house was a mess, I was unable to reach it, da da da da da. So this is what we want to ask this morning. Have you been poorly reviewed? So whether it was in your job, maybe you've got a business,

maybe you were part of a show and you were poorly reviewed. So whether it was in your job, maybe you've got a business, maybe you were part of a show. Yeah, correct. And you were poorly reviewed. Yeah. You don't forget. You don't forget. It could be a review that said a hundred nice things, and it's that one thing.

You'll never forget that. Well, we've got 4.8 stars on Apple. Okay. On Apple podcasts. Well, that's not bad, but I wanna know where the.2 went. Yeah, I'm looking now. It's a lot of fives, a four, a three.

What, a three? Not many twos. A three. There seems to be some ones. Oh. Yeah. Oh, this is great. Student evaluations.

Yes. Your end of term reviews. Your work reviews. Yeah. Okay, 0800DALSATM, call us now, text through, 9696. Were you like me? We want to know when you've received a bad review. Okay, 0800D Like, too intimate. Oh, just saying. Maybe he's just a fan of the bush, you know?

Maybe he's a fan of the bush. Dude. I don't. Anyways, good morning. When did you get a bad review? Ah, well I got a bad review and it wasn't even for my business. It was for another business.

Well, okay. How did they get? They accidentally reviewed your business. Yes, they do have similar names, but they were like, this is a terrible business. Never take your stuff there. They broke my thing. And you were just like, it wasn't me. That wasn't me.

But yeah, like I replied and I was like, it wasn't actually us. I think you mean another place because they have a similar name because we don't do what you're saying we did. Yeah. And then did they delete that? No, they left it. I mean another place because they have a similar name because we don't do what you're saying we did. Yeah. And then did they delete that? No, they left it.

Oh, that sucks. Yeah, see that sucks. I honestly have, yeah, talked to people with businesses and it's like, there's nothing you can do. If somebody review bombs you or, yeah, it's horrible. Louise, thank you. Ask the messages in. When were you poorly reviewed?

I was reviewed on ClassPass. I haven't heard of this but it's anonymous And I don't think it's no well, maybe but they're a pilates instructor Oh, yeah, can be anonymous. So they're extra brutal I don't think if you were writing reviews, you should be able to be anonymous. No Someone said I was lazy and sitting down on my phone throughout the whole class Babes, even if I wanted to sit down on the class was full There was nowhere to sit.

And of course I wasn't sitting here, who goes to a Pilates class for someone to sit up the front and tell them what to do? Somebody else said, we used to get these things called reviews, it was kind of like, different to a school report at this private Christian school in Texas. Oh.

One of my reviews said that I had an unpure and unjoyful heart and a quiet spirit of rebellion. Oh, I love that! Having a quiet spirit of rebellion. You sound fun. I've just finished watching season two of Andor, I'm all about the rebellion. The quiet spirit of rebellion.

The whispers of rebellion. Are you kidding me? What a way to be described. I went to that school 15 years, I'd never been in trouble. But my quiet spirit of rebellion is no longer quiet because when she gave me that review, my rebellion was loud.

Yeah, that would've egged me on as well. Same. So I'll show you rebellion. Yeah. Wow. I had a temporary worker help doing traffic control at nights and she was useless. I got a notification while on the road that she had left us a two-star review

while working for us. Oh. So. Ruthless. Yeah. Yeah. Keep your texts coming in, 9696. We wanna know when you've been poorly reviewed in your job.

Yeah. Yeah, well maybe you own a business. That would be horrible. I work for a large agricultural company and we service many farmers. They get a survey, but, and I know this for a fact from farmers, they're not gonna fill out a survey when they're in a good mood or things went well,

they're just gonna be like, thanks mate. I only ever do a survey if I'm really paved off. Yeah, you want to get feedback. Or there's a prize. Or you could win $500 in vouchers. It's like staying somewhere, you could win another couple of nights. Then I'll do it.

But you're right, people don't... No. I mean, some people are quite active reviewers. I've got a friend that is huge on Google and everywhere he goes, review, review, review. I never do. Because you get these badges and you go after them. They're gamified. Yeah, gamified.

TripAdvisor was like that too when I used to travel. Back in the day. Pre pandemic. You know that you can still travel now. I'm terrified now. Have you heard about this virus? It's everywhere. It's not Haley, it's everywhere.

I can't remember what I was going to say. My brain stopped working. Just read out some texts. What was I talking about? When you were a TripAdvisor. I would a trip advisor. Yeah, I would trip advise everything because you would get points and you would unlock different things and you'd level up.

Yeah. And it was really nice. It was like, someone found your review very helpful. Oh yeah, I liked that. And I'd be like, no problem, buddy. I do think when you're looking at reviews of hotels or things, you have to just read between the lines and sift through the people

that are just like, oh my God, it was terrible. There was a tiny spot of mold in the corner of the shower. Yeah, there was construction next door. It was a hair. And I had to walk more than 50 meters for a buffet. Yes. And I don't like walking more than 50 meters and I'm about to gorge myself on a week's worth of calories in 10 minutes. Yeah.

At my one year work review... Text machine just stalled, I'm thinking that's not on me, I had my issue before. It sounds like your stalling. It sounds like you're not doing a very good job. At my one year work review, I thought I was bad.

He's about to lose his job. It's all about to come crashing down. He's the south tower, and the plane just hit. I'm at my one year work review, here we go, start again. At my one year work review, I got told I need to take five minutes to take a breath

before I come in in the morning to the office. They said I come in like a hurricane and it induces stress in others. Oh. I love a hurricane arrival at work. Like a hurricane, like good morning everybody. Yeah. I love that.

They love that. They describe me as a tornado before and I take it as a compliment. Just come in and all. Yeah. Sit up and leave. You just brighten up everyone else's dull mood. You know who doesn't like hurricanes and tornadoes?

Trailer trash. Trash. Everybody else, you know, that's a way to take it. If someone describes you as a tornado, you can say, well, you know who doesn't like tornadoes? Trailer park trash. Yeah. Wow.

Trailer park trash. Yeah, and just hit them with that. And they won't know what to do, because you're just blowing their caravan to Timbuktu. Yeah, and it's up there with a cow. Yeah. Tractor. Tractor and roof.

And you, trailer trash. I'm a beauty therapist, I got a bad review for someone who has never been to me. It took my five star rating down and there's just nothing I could do about it. You see, that sucks. And you don't know if that's your opposition. Like trying to get you. My PhD reviewer sent 12 pages of negative review of my PhD.

I'm not reading more than one. I'm also not rewriting it man. Do you know how long a PhD takes to write? I'm not re-doing it. So I thought I'd failed. I was like, this is it. This is the end of everything. Why did I invest in this?

Apparently I passed and apparently that's just the norm. Why are you being so mean to the doctor? I'm norm. Why are you being so mean to the doctor? I'm done! Why are you being so mean to the FID? He's been 15 years just getting there. Yeah, exactly. Someone's like, I don't need you. I don't like that.

I put so much effort into that. You don't handle that well. My poor review every time I look at myself in the mirror in the morning. Oh no! You can't think like that. No, that's, come on. Don't talk to't think like that. No, that's, come on. Don't talk to your friend like that.

That's what Vaughn says to me when I say bad things about myself. I won't let you talk to my friend like that, is what I say. I'll be like, I don't feel pretty. Vaughn says don't talk about my friend like that. And I'll be like, you don't talk about my friend like that. I've got a little song here.

We've actually got so many texts. We're gonna do an overflow podcast today. A special podcast. Yeah, I've got a little song here. We've actually got so many texts. We're going to do an overflow podcast today, a special podcast. Yeah, I've got a little song here for that. For that, listen. Yep. Should I fast forward to the chorus or should we just sit through this build up?

It's quite an amazing build up. Yeah, but just quickly. You've got to fast forward. See, this is the problem with you. You rush everything. You're a hurrier. What did Cheez and Dale say about cheese, mate? Was it Cheese and Dale that said good things that time
