You know what I mean. Top six more like top sex. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. Well if you've been to the supermarket and you've...

I've been before. It's crazy. There's food. Stacks. Excuse me. Imagine a pantry but ginormous. I've been to different types. So there's a yellow one, there's a red one. There's a green one.

There's a green one. There's a fancy one in my house. red one. There's a green one. There's a green one. There's a green one. There's fancy ones, there's a fancy one in my house. There's grey ones, grey ones. Grey one. Well, you know, the green ones sometimes are grey. Yeah, yeah, sometimes are modern ones. Sometimes they're normal. Well, if you let me finish, what I was gonna say is,

if you've been to the supermarket and you've bought- I've been, I've been, I've been. Yeah, I went there the other day. And you've bought butter, you would know how insanely expensive been, I've been. And you've bought butter. You would know how insanely expensive it is at the moment. We've talked about it. Some of the blocks are like over $10. I buy spreadable.

Am I trash? What do they put in that? No, dude, I buy spreadable too. Just cause, I don't know what they do to make it softer. They add some funky stuff, eh? Some funky chemicals, eh? Some funky chemicals. Yeah. There's definitely funky chemicals. It's Not just cream. There's something funky in there.

Yeah sorry funky but I'm into it. Yeah well um news that a bakery in Southland and this just like is how cooked it is with butter prices. It's news that a big bakery they make and this is why this story caught my attention because the story the photo they used was Belgian biscuits. They make Belgian biscuits Afghans and other sweet treats for supermarkets and dearies around the country. Yeah, they make they use so much butter It's actually cheaper for them to get it from Australia. So they are in there saying for us tons of butter. Oh and But they're in Southland. Oh of butter and but they're in Southland. Oh, that's just, that's embarrassing.

There's dairy. There's dairy everywhere. Isn't that insane? I hate it, I hate it a lot. Do you know what, I mean, I, at least they're not turning to margarine, you know. I don't think. Some sunrise spread.

I don't think, but they actually say in this article, they managed to find $3 a kilo butter from America, but they said it's too watery. It's got a lot of water content Really? Yeah, because have you ever seen butter in America? It's like really like like White yeah cream color. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What is that? But yeah, so apparently that's really bad in the process of the bakery process. But these I've never had I don't think I've had these Belgian biscuits Yeah, but apparently they're in supermarkets like everywhere

What are they called big Belgians? The Kays bakery? But yeah, just like this this whole article is just like how cooked it is That in New Zealand where we make so much dairy and it's so expensive. We're bringing in dairy from Australia I've had these biscuits. Are they good? Because now I've simply must have them Belgian biscuit is my recognize them. see them and you'll recognise them. Okay, good. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Because it's my favourite,

I think it's my favourite bakery biscuit. The Belgian biscuit. Yeah. Don't mind an Afghan. I love an Afghan. Now we did have a debate the other day, me and the girlies were chatting about baking. How are we with the feeling of calling them Afghans?

I don't know, is it cancel, are we canceling? I just don't know. Why are the biscuits called Afghans? I don't know, is it, are we cancelled? I just don't know. Why are the biscuits called Afghans? I feel like we've asked this question before. Have we? Okay, there are many theories in circulation about the origin of the name Afghan, ranging from the first Anglo-Afghan war

to the biscuits texture and colour being likened to the landscape of Afghanistan. Now I get that. Crunchy. It's crunchy and very dry. It's very mountainous. Very dry. We'll go with that then.

That's good, I just want to make sure. One theory suggests it's named after a traditional Afghan hat. The pack hole. Oh, okay. Excuse me if I've said that wrong. Things don't call me a pack hole. You've been called worse. Why don't you shut your pack hole?

What are you packing in that hole? Play ZM's, Flash, Vaughan and Hayley. Now, people are apparently, if you missed the story, it's in the Orleans, right? The Orleans Justice Center had some prison breakers escape, some have been caught, and some remain on the run. And apparently, people are now gambling on this, placing little bets as to who will be the final fugitive

to be caught. Now, I don't know much more about the story than that, but producer Shannon, who we know, loves to gamble. Loves a casual bet on the sports. You are all over this story. I have been following this since the moment they escaped. So basically they escaped just after midnight. They had an eight hour head start on the police.

They weren't discovered to be missing till eight. Was this the end of last week or the start of this week? I think it was end of last week, over the weekend, kind of. You pitched this story for us to talk about on Monday. You're like, guys, guys, there's a prison break. And we're like, OK, Shannon, OK. They basically escaped through a toilet. They left a sign saying, too easy, lol, there's a prison break. And we're like, okay, Shannon, okay. They basically escaped through a toilet. They left a sign saying, too easy, lol.

Which I thought was excellent. I wouldn't, that's so shit scary. That's shit scary. Feels like poking the beer that is about to catch you. One of them was caught immediately. He hid under a car for like eight hours. Like in the prison? No, just like just outside of it

Oh, yeah, the dogs are gonna sniff him. Yeah Basset hounds they always have in the Shawshank Redemption when they go after him The worst is a few people were found in their homes and it's like come on straight Prison we're breaking out, where are we headed? Mexico. Shannon, that's impossible. Midway Beach. Where we're in.

You don't have a passport, Shannon. No, I'm in New Orleans. No, no, no, no, we're in New Zealand. I'm sure if you're in America, you're heading for the border, but. Yeah, yeah. We're gonna be in prison. Oh, okay.

Mounted in prison. I'm gonna go to the Midway Beach. Maccas. I go to a busy supermarket. Maccas, because I've been in prison, having prison food. Oh, yum, okay, I'm getting nuggies, then I'm going to the beach. Yeah. I'm just going to a busy supermarket. Because I've been in prison, having prison food. Oh yum, okay I'm getting nuggies, then I'm going to the beach.

Yeah. I'm just going to a busy supermarket and I'll just do a few laps for a few hours. Throw them off, stay local, wait for the search to go wider than mine. You think walking around a supermarket with cameras in every aisle for two hours is gonna run them off?

Where are you going? I've watched Prison Break. To the sea. To the sea, that's what I mean, I'm going to the sea. To the sea, and then just follow the coast and see what happens. Yeah, yeah's great. Why are them off? Where are you going? I've watched Prison Break. To the sea. To the sea, yeah, that's what I mean. I'm going to the sea. To the sea, and then just follow the coast and see what happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just bump along the coast. And just eat dead seagulls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll find someone who might be at their beach house, and I'll smash a window, and let myself in. Find any heads or something. Stock up there. I'm not gonna be there for long.

You always gotta keep moving. That's the thing, hence the supermarket. I'd go aisle to aisle. How are we getting out of a country? Fake passport. Yeah, I guess so, but basically the overnight development, so there's still three of them out. Wait, I just had an idea, I find someone that looks like me and steal their passport. Great.

Yeah, but who knows where their passport is on a regular basis. It's in the top drawer. I don't know where mine is. It's always in the top drawer, in the bedroom. I couldn't the top drawer. I don't know where mine is. It's always in the top drawer in the bedroom. I could've got different top drawers. I'm going to Australia next weekend. Shoot. You put your passport on your hand.

You do this every time. Every time. Every time. You need to put your passport in the same place every time. Can I keep it at your house? Yeah, sure. Do you know what I mean? That's the hard idea.

OK, sorry, carry on. So yeah, so three of them are still out. But the big development has been the janitor has been caught. He turned off the water to their cell, and that's how they managed to get the toilet out. That's how they got out. So he said he was threatened of being shanked, but his bosses were like,

bro, like literally that happens all the time. Just come to us if that happens. Bro, just get a shanking, you know? Yeah, like why didn't you tell us? So. We're a shanking feast, you know, like the rest of us. Yeah, so my money's on Derek to stay out the longest. Derek Groves. Yeah, Derek's still out there,

we've got Linton still out there and Jermaine. Those are the three main ones that everyone's banking on to stay out. I love the comments on this when people say, I'm gonna take 100 on Boyd. Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna parlay Tate and Donald at 1020 50 to win 560.

Oh, we're getting full noise here. I will say, like, I am having fun with it, but these are really bad people. Oh, yes. Like, they are actual murderers and stuff. They're not white collar, which sucks. They're not fun. I wish they were white collar

because then it would be like, ha ha ha. White collar criminals, are they? They just sit and enjoy some time off. Oh, this post have crossed Corey off because he got caught. Good. I know, they're crossing off. It's like watching The Bachelor. Oh, this post have crossed Corey off because he got caught. Good. I know that crossing off, it's like watching The Bachelor.

Yeah, it's, yeah. So who's your money on? Derek. Derek is the one that everyone's really banking. I don't know his crimes, I don't think I want to. I think they're all very bad people. Yeah, right, okay. Someone has made a TikTok profile of Derek

and he's commenting on everyone's things. I don't believe it's the real Derek, but he said, ain't gonna find me bro. And that's got a hundred thousand likes. 100,000 likes? Yeah. This is wild. Look, we gotta have fun.

We gotta have fun. Yeah. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hailey. Fletch, Vaughn and Hailey. Silly little po, silly little po.aley, 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 Right, Silly Little Pole, when on public transport is it okay to put your bag on the seat next to you? This is. The worst one is where they sit in the aisle and put the bag next to the window Yes, yeah pretty much blocking the seat and saying the seats. That's a dick move You've got to sit by the window and then and yeah, and then pull it down. I just put on my lap I'll put it on my lap when the when it starts to get full. I'll look around if there are seats I'll move it on the floor. No, I put it on the floor I like when it's a bus.

Oh yuck. People are pissed on it. I feel like the train's cleaner, but not the bus. Not the bus. Yeah. I know. Why do you think the train's cleaner than the bus? I don't know.

They just look cleaner. They do. Really? Yeah. More room? And there's a bit more room on the train. Yeah. Yeah.

In the seats. Three on the floor. Well, 59% of people said yes, it is okay to put your bag on the seat next to you, 41% saying no, that's not okay. Rihanna said yes, until it gets busy, then you have to be a real prick if you don't move it. Yeah. Yeah, real prick. But I'll just ask, like if someone is blocking a seat, just kind of gesture or then ask.

Might I acquire this seat from your bag? Also, I feel like people won't sit next to me on the bus straight away or the train because I've got bitchy resting face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think people get worried they're going to be too turned on when they sit next to me.

Yeah. Do you know what I mean? I smell bad. Oh, yeah, right? Yeah, yeah, stinky boy. We've all got our problems. We've all got our things. Yeah, stinky boy.

Loz says, if it's really quiet in the train, then go ahead, but as someone who literally fainted on a hot, busy train with kids, with their bags on the seats next to them, take a look around first. Yeah, that's not good. Have to have a little sit down, or rather a hurried face plant onto the floor of the bus.

Tanya said, it's the universal sign for don't sit next to me, but when it gets too busy, obviously, you can't take it down. Ooh, public transport, said Joanne, but if I had to, yes, don't want some creeps sitting beside me, I'm already on public transport. She's not a huge fan.

You're not a huge fan. Right, I text the car most days. Rachel said, my friend once fell asleep with her bag on the seat and woke up to a full bus with people standing in the aisle and her bag contents spilt on the seat. I said, do you think someone tried to move her bag, but it fell maybe.

Yeah. Oh, God. And then they were like, just leave the sleeping woman with her bag full of things. Only if there's enough seats for everyone to have their own. That seems to be the majority of people. Only if it's not full. I do this every time I sit in the aisle seat and I put my bag on the window as a clear F off signal.

This is what we just said. Yeah, that's a clear signal that you don't want anyone sitting next to you. Don't sit next to me. Never said Jay. Don't be a rude prick. Bags go on the floor or racks and bums go on seats, not bags. Yeah. Wow. Niamh, yes, people are gross. Use that bag to barrier them. I was shooketh by these results. Typical bloody Kiwis.

For anyone who's ever lived outside New Zealand. They would know this is a big public transport. Faux pas. Oh yeah, like overseas. The stuff comments. A faux pas or a fox pot. Typical bloody Kiwis. Play ZM's. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Listen, we're on the fly. I'm changing direction. Yeah, okay, cool. I was gonna talk to you about the signs on your toes that something's wrong with your health. Good, because you know when I did the Heaphy track and then I did that huge other hike, I had no toenails left and they've only just grown back.

Yeah. Like maybe I'm like half a centimeter on my big toes away from being fully full now a full nail again Yeah, that's how long it takes. I don't look at your face. I don't look at you. So I'm glad I don't have to show you my face I know what I was just reading the article was loud if it's yellow. It's probably fun go if it's you know, good Dark stuff. Oh, I thought you were gonna be like if this time's all Some old mates get yellow toe nails? Yeah. Put a sock on, Gramps. Yeah, stop holding your cigarette in your toes.

Yeah. So, no, then I just remembered something that happened yesterday. I was like, I'll just talk about that instead. Okay. I was driving, I was in the North Shore. Where was I? Wairau Valley. Wairau Valley.

Oh yeah, that doesn't have an accent. No, just Wairau. Wairau Valley. Wairau Valley. Oh yeah, it doesn't have an accent. No, just Wairau. Wairau Valley. Yeah. And I was driving, getting back onto the motorway to head to my house, and it was sort of school pick-up time so it was doing the controlled red light, let two cars go red light onto the motorway.

Oh, but that's not a thing. I don't know. I take that as an indication. Same, same. No, no, it's a red light. Nah, it's not. No, yeah it is. One car per, one car per green, per indication. Same. Same. No, no, it's a red light. Nah. It's not. No, yeah it is.

One car per lane. Nah, nah. It's not an official traffic light because it doesn't have all three colors. So it doesn't count. It just has red light. It does have all three colors. It's the more security.

It does have all three. It's not a cop. Guys, the red light's hot. It's more security. Guys, red lights. Guys, red lights. Guys, red lights. Roll through.

Roll through. So I'm, we're like crawling down this ramp. Yeah, no need. Just roll through. Well, there's no need. All these people are waiting for the more security. More security. Roll through. Roll through. So I'm, we're like crawling down this ramp. No need, just roll through. There's no need, all these people are waiting for the mall call. Guys, shut up. Just roll through. I'm mall cops, I don't know what to do. I'm not even at the lights at this point,

by the way, it's not my turn. So we're crawling down like this, and I see this guy in a van behind me, really up my ass like really really close. Say Van because I immediately felt Ford Ranger. No no Van. Van. And so Hayley being the confrontation lover I am I sort of just like turned back to be like look at him. Are you okay mate?

Yeah yeah are you okay mate? Where would you like me to go? Do you know what I mean? Like we're crawling here. Well he's probably like us, he doesn't stop for the Indicatory red light. Okay, well it's a red light that is to be honoured by law. Okay. Now, so I just turn and I throw him a little,

you're right, you know, like just a little chewed. Yeah. Oh my god, this guy flips his lip. I was quickly like, oh, I've done something wrong. And I was sending a voice memo to someone and I was like, oh wait, hang on, I've done something wrong. Hang on, I'm about to get claw hammered. Lock the doors.

Then this guy starts going, rrrr. Like he's gonna jam the back of my car. Oh. And he's like. Big tough guy, eh? Mouthing off. He didn't look like a big tough guy. He looked a little bit like a meth head.

I'm gonna say him. Oh yeah but this is why you've got to be careful when you road rage. You don't know who you're road raging. You don't know the day they're having. So he is like screaming, I can like hear like a little bit but I could see in the back and I was just like oh no. And then, light tap on the back of my car. What? On the back of my car. Did you get his license plate?

This is not my car by the way. No. It was just like a... And I was like... Oh my god. But then it was... Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum. Then the thing I didn't get was we approach the light.

Yeah. I'm honoring the red. Yeah. I go? He doesn't tail me. I thought he would have been a tailor. If he's a shunter. Yeah. Yeah a tailor. If he's a shunter. Yeah.

Yeah. Wait, so he's a shunter. But, but- Respects the red. Respects the red. He's a shunter that will listen to the mall cop. Yeah. I just was like- How odd. How very queer.

Was there any- Was there any balance? Was there any damage? No, I got out, when I got home, I was like, Oh my God, cause I'm, this is a borrowed car, I don't own it. So I got out and, yeah, no, nothing. I'm a Mazda ambassador. She's a Mazda ambassador.

I just been gifted a Mazda ambassador. She's a Mazda ambassador that's riling people up on the ramps. All I did was a, yeah right? Yeah. Oh my god, I regretted it instantly. It was terrifying, this guy, but then yeah, I was like, oh here we go, he's gonna gonna go right at my ass as I'm taking the green.

Yeah. You just wanted to wait at his turn. I feel like this is why if I ever won Lotto, you know, like the big, when they have 20 million, just be driving around and someone would do something like that and then I'd just slam on my brakes on purpose. Yeah, I'd be like, I don't care, I've got 20 million dollars. And also, it's not your fault,

because if they hit you from behind, that measure of fine is so small. Yeah, falling too close. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It would be, if I had $20 million, I would have a thing installed on the back of the car. And if they got too close and obviously couldn't see it,

a rod would come out and just slam straight through their radiator, then retract into the car. Oh, like in Greece, how they've got those little blades that come out the side and tear it up. This would be like, you know those things they used to put a cattle beast down, like on No Country for Old Men. Oh, like a ear. Yeah, good stuff. But it would be big and it would be like, you know those things they use to put a cattle beast down, like on No Country for Old Men. Oh, like an ear? Yeah, good stuff.

But it would be big and it would go in the back. See, that's the kind of stuff. It wouldn't have an unflicker switch up press a button and it just punches through the radiator. They don't know. And one of those license plates that flips over to a fake one. Like in the transport of East Jason Statham.

Yeah, I've always wanted one of those. See, that's the kind of stuff they should have done on Pimp My Ride. Yes, they should have done that on Pimp My Ride. That would have been way better. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. From the Fleshborne and Hayley group chat, this is the top six. 1,100 firefighters will climb 1,103 stairs.

She's from Timaru. Oh. And that top set. Oh, that's the all good. She's from Timaru. Oh. And that tops it. Oh, that's the best one. That's the best one. I'm going to have you happy with that. 21 years old and you've done all that already.

I can't even say on air what I was doing at 21. It was just different. Oh, wow. I think we said different focuses. Different journey. Because they always say rugby's not a forever sport. You're not going to be like 50 playing it. Is that why you're just cracking it hard

straight out the gate? Yeah, trying to make the most of it. Try and make it last as long as I can. So you've got into the 15 aside, because most of these accomplishments with the sevens, how's that a different, obviously there's twice as many people on the field. And people get dressed up as shower loofahs.

That's what reference to the sevens. In the sevens, in the sevens. Thank you Hayley. Thank you Hayley for your sports, and your deep sports knowledge. Once I wore a problematic costume, I just hope those photos never show up. I'll just say one of my friends went as a cowboy. And you went as a horse.

Move it along. So how's it different as a player? Yeah, probably like the physicality on field that's a lot different, you know, bigger bodies compared to sevens, but I really enjoy that kind of stuff, which is exciting. But I guess off field, the amount of people, there's so many people compared to our sevens group. Like we'd probably travel with 16, 17. Now there's probably 20 just management with the 15.

So yeah, just adjusting to that. So the black firms are also stifled with a problem among a lot of business, too much middle management. Yeah, yeah. Trim the fat. She said it, trim the fat. She's just joined the team, she didn't say that, that was all my words. So it's big buses instead of minivans.

Do you have a favourite place to go? Because with the Sevens you kind of go all over the world, don't you? Yeah, my favourite place to have played, other than here at home, would have been Hong Kong. Why Hong Kong? Insane crowd. Oh really? Because you're from Timaru. You go from Timaru to Hong Kong, Hayley.

Gosh, you've seen the world. Yeah. But it's just like a party, like from this very start of the morning to the last game. It's insane. I feel like that's what New Zealand used to be like in Wellington though, back in the day. Oh my god, it was ridiculous.

Who did you look up to? Yeah, Sarah Hedeney. Oh, captain. Oh my god it was ridiculous. Who did you like look up to? Yeah Sarah Heddyney. Oh Captain. Yeah she's pretty impressive. Portia Woodman yeah I it was her but then when I realized like she's fast and like stuff and I'm like I'm not really as like that. Have you told Portia that she's no longer your hero? Yeah. I told her straight away. I used to really like you, but now I'm like, you ain't all that. You're average. Yeah, that's hit an F in me all the way. When you say the physicality, when you say bigger bodies,

what do you mean? Why is the physicality so different? I guess with 15s, it's more, I'd be playing through the middle of the field, so tackling the big, powerful props and that stuff. Whereas with 7s, it's generally like smaller faster athletes yeah right so it's a different yeah different in that sense. I think that would be more me. Sometimes I see those rugby girls and I'm like far out running into a brick wall. Yeah. Like because obviously what's her name? Iona? Yes. Ma. Ma from the USA team she's

she's gone viral basically after the Olympics for being not only like a good laugh and an awesome woman, but for her extreme physicality and really like owning it as a woman and it's been so cool to see that. But man, I wouldn't want to be running at her. Yeah, she's powerful. I'll be running away.

Yeah. I've been on the receiving end of a few times her running it straight. Oh. It's tough. Yeah. It's good to see that your face is still together. Do you know what I mean?

For now. What's the worst injury you've had because you talked about the longevity of it. Obviously that you got to be pretty careful these days. You just don't keep playing when you've got a knee injury or a serious injury. Yeah, so I've had a couple knee injuries earlier on, which was pretty tough.

And then I got a pretty bad concussion last year But other than that it's been pretty free-flowing which has been nice. Right. What's your like you've achieved so much by 21 And you've said I want to make it last as long as possible. Like what what you've sort of ticked a lot of the boxes Yeah, what do you have any other achievements that you like? That's what I want to do My thing kind of was I want to change the game So far out yeah trying to achieve that don't know how and like it's not really like yep done it take it off Yeah thing and but after winning the Olympics last year when I won a few more gold medals What do you do with your gold medal is Is it like framed and hanging on the wall?

Nah, it's in a box in my cupboard. That's such a Kiwi thing to say. Oh yeah, it's just a gold medal. Don't do anything about it. I'd be like, it's in the bloody handbag at all moments. Yeah, she'd be showing everybody. Yeah, I would. Nah, I did at the start, like after Olympics straight away.

But nah, yeah, it's just kind of. It gets to a point, I suppose, where tall poppy syndrome comes in. You're like, here's my gold medal. They're like, all after Olympics straight away. But now, yeah, it's just kind of. It gets to a point, I suppose, where tall poppy syndrome comes in. You're like, here's my gold medal. They're like, all right, Goldie, calm down. Yeah, we know. Where's your next one? Put it away.

Yeah, let's have the next one. So a few more goals and you want to change the game. Just some humble. Yeah, love that. Oh my god, it's unreal. It's so amazing. By 21, ridiculous, Georgia. When you switch into league.

Yeah, I don't know. The better, the better code. Whoa, to his face. And to be honest, Sevens is more like league. I like watching Sevens, it's got more of a league feel. Like you said, less of the like ruts and mauls and driving forward and you know, set game plays. Look, I'm open to exploring ideas.

You heard that, warriors. Otherwise. Yeah, otherwise, come on, please, make it a sign. Br. You heard that, warriors. Up the Waz. Yeah, Up the Waz. Come and help us. Sure, I'm bright in the jersey. Make it happen. Well, good luck for the weekend. Yeah. So it's at North Harbour Stadium, Black Ferns vs USA, on Saturday at 3.35.

And if you want tickets, allblacks.com. Up the Waz, is that what we say? No, not to the All Blacks. Oh, OK. I'm going to be there screaming Up the Waz. You're very confused. Right, am I? No, not to, the all blacks. Oh, okay. I'm gonna be there screaming up the wiles. You're very confused. Right, am I? Yeah, you're in the wrong stadium entirely.

Good luck, and honestly, those wiles just... Oh, man. Play ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Good idea. You get your annual leave, right? However long it's subject to your job, your company, your arrangement.

Then that's for your holidays, right? I just want to address the teachers listening Regarding annually Some people now I know as I've said before, you know before I had kids before I saw How the education system and how much teachers do for what they are paid and with the resources they've got at their disposal I Hats off they deserve them. Do you know how I think should get as many holidays nurses? Yeah nurses nurses, but they don't Work work work watch out anyway, so you get your annual leave. That's for your holidays You know you book them up and you plan things then you've got your sick leave like usually five to ten days Yeah, and that's for your sickies.

Some people get quite a few sick days. What about those ones, those people that kind of accumulate them and they roll over to the next year and if they don't use them they just keep banging, banging, banging. That's the teachers have got a pretty good there too. And you can cash them out. Oh, yes please.

Well there's a few- And then for your last year before you retire as a teacher you're like, I've just got this cough I can't shake. Yeah and you just have a year and a half off sick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah it's the plague, it's actually the plague. The black plague, yeah. just got this cough, I can't shake. Yeah, and you just have a year and a half off sick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's the plague. It's actually the plague. The black plague, yeah.

The black plague. Ripped with the plague. So there's a number of companies in the UK that are now offering, in addition to this, so it's completely separate from your annual leave, life leave. And I think it's up to the company, but some people have like five days of life leave,

and it's for days where you might need to move house, go and support your kid running in the cross country. Put your cat down. Put your cat down. Different to bereavement leave, right? Different because that's only for humans. Yeah, you only get a few days. Yeah.

And it's gotta be like, your mum. And you're like, ugh. Yeah, I know. Doesn't feel enough for mum, but too much for distant auntie. For a mate. Yeah. That I went to school with. So a lot of parents are using these,

like going to a funeral. Just life, like big life things. Holidays? No, outside of it. Okay, cause I would make a life event in another country. Yeah, yeah. And then be like, I've got to. You would stock up your five days, and then say.

I've got to put my cat down in Italy? Yeah, cause I part-own my cat down in Italy? Yeah. Cause my pa own a cat in Italy and it's really sick. Who are you gonna see? Mamacita. Yeah, Mamacita. Your mother? She die.

Mamacita. We need you to say out loud that it was your mother. Mamacita. So it is, it's just like, I just think it's genius. Yeah. Cause you do have those days where you're like, life needs to happen today. Totally.

And you don't want to take your annual leave and screw up your holidays. You're like, I just need a life day. And then these companies are like, you never, they're never short on the work. Because some places do like a mental health couple of days. You might have five days mental health. Yeah, which is separate to your sick leave.

You just need a day at home doing nothing. Yeah, life event leave. Significant personal situations. Great idea. Great idea. Play ZM's Flashpoint in Hayley. Today in Internet History. Well, a brand new segment looking at the big moments

in Internet history over the years. May 22nd, what could possibly have happened on the internet in 2007. Haha, Charlie. Charlie bit me. Oh, ouch. Ouch! Ouch, Charlie! Ouch! Charlie! That! Charlie! That's really good! I cannot believe that is 18 years ago. 18 years ago, 56 seconds.

Country of origin, United Kingdom. And we are joined on the show by the biter himself, Charlie Goodmorning. Hey, how are you? Good, why are you a man now? Look at him, he's a man now! He's a man now! I see a man before- you're a baby! Well, I'm actually told I look quite young

but all my friends tell me I look young so I'll take being a man. I'll take it. Oh, you do look young because you're 19 now because it is the 18th anniversary of the Charlie Bit My Finger video being uploaded to the internet. Yeah. I mean, I didn't even realize

until you guys reached out, I'll be honest. Um, I mean I didn't even realize until you guys reached out I'll be honest. Um, I know that but now here we are. Here we are. Do you not mark the occasion every year? With a bite to our own. Yeah, yeah, yeah a little bite a little nibble. I would say I've nibbled in a long time to be fair. Um, I've kind of grown out of that phase I would say. You never know I might go back to it. Charlie when you go on Do you ever bring it up? Like, do you ever go on a date and be like, my name's Charlie, I'm Charlie Who Bit the Finger?

I don't think I've ever brought up, I think it's always come out through my friends, so I don't think personally I've ever told anyone in my life, to be honest. Really? Oh my God, I would literally say Charlie, Charlie Who Bit the Finger, anytime I meet someone. Nice to meet you, Charlie.

Yeah. How often is it brought up to you by your mates? Or do you just sort of live life as if you aren't this huge viral sensation? I mean, I guess I'm lucky that I obviously don't look the same, or I hope I don't look the same. But I would say it comes in waves. You know, there's like certain times when it will come about and again for any random reason and it'll be a

Big thing for five minutes and I go so usually no in my day-to-day life. I'm just Charlie really Wow, not biting fingers and what are you doing now? Like are you studying? Yeah, I'm studying law at university right now This is my student accommodation It's good. It's nice and clean. Have you made your bed? Oh you've got this bed cat? I have the bed, I have the bed's made. Good boy.

Not bad. Good boy Charlie. Yeah I'm way older and I didn't make my bed when I left home this morning, I just walked away from it. Do you think that, but shouldn't, I reckon you could cash in on this a little bit when you open your own law firm, you could call it like bit my finger law. Do you know what it means? BMF law.

I haven't thought about it yet. I've got to pass these exams first, because it's exam season here. So if I get past these and then the next two years, we'll see about that. Do you know that the video was found on Osama Bin Laden's computer when they raided his compound? Yeah, I did. It was just a normal day. I think I was eating dinner maybe. rated as compound? Yeah, I did. Um, we found out it was just a normal day.

I think I was eating dinner maybe. Um, and we found out. But yeah, I mean. It's hard to, hard to know if that's like a sense of pride or not, do you know what I mean? It's just, but it's a whole snapshot of the time. Yeah, totally. And that's what about this video, it was like,

the internet had been around ever, but it was like, the video internet was very young Yeah at the time of uploading like, you know It was all either terrible quality or had videos had to be short because of the you know And what they used and it kind of was just this perfect little video. How's your arm? How's your brother and has his finger my brother? He's studying Business, I think yeah He's not this one, but he's I think he is. And he's got this one, but um, he's,

I think he's good. He's um, working hard I think. Um, his fingers should be fine. I'm checking it right now. You typically don't get asked that a lot, I'm sure. Charlie, I feel like you need to ring your brother. I just feel like you're like, I don't know, how is he?

I don't know. Give him a call today, please. I spoke to him last week, I think. Oh, yeah. Once every few weeks, he'll be fine. Yeah, I'm quite close with my brother. We talk every day I think. Or, yeah, last week. Once every few weeks, he's a brother. Yeah. I'm quite close with my brother.

We talk every day, so these guys, yeah. But you've got two other brothers as well, right? So I've been imagining with four boys tearing around, the bite of the finger was at the very low end of the sort of injuries you must've caused each other. Yeah, I mean, I guess it was the only one that caught, so it's the only one that could put out. Did anyone make any money off the video? Like your parents? Yeah they made yeah we made money

through the AdSense and some advertisements we've done but I'm not really I wouldn't say knowledgeable in that area. Yeah right. I love the game really. Yeah you're in a student accommodation you haven't bought yourself a mansion off of biting your brother's finger. It's a nice accommodation though. No, it's very nice. No Charlie, I'm not tearing it down. You know, it's great. It looks lovely.

And he's made his bed. And that's really made me quite happy. That's the point of things. He's grown up to be very responsible. Yeah. And you know, people listening on the radio won't be able to see, but he's a handsome, handsome young man.

Very handsome young man. Do you think we could, Charlie, could we keep in touch with you? And maybe once you finish your law degree, we'll touch base with you again and we can jam around some ideas for the name of your law firm. Yeah, sure thing, yeah.

I'll pence you in at some point in three years time. Pencil me in. Look, he's already talking like a lawyer. He's already charging, isn't he? I was gonna say, yeah. Yeah, oh well, 450. An hour or part thereof. Yeah, well, amazing.

This day in internet history. Yes, Charlie bit my finger. Day of the Yearhood on the internet in 2007. Crazy. Hey Charlie, thank you so much for talking to us. Cheers guys. Play ZM's Fleshborne in Hayley. Oh, what was your joke? Well, can you just outro the song here?

That was Benson Boone. Sorry I'm here for someone else. I saw my Uber driver said I didn't check names before I just jumped in the back seat. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. Just wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. Just an immediate review on that joke.

Yeah, no, it wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth the read, was it? No. I wouldn't have bothered, to be honest. You wouldn't have bothered. Yeah. Now look, we're stumbling. We're stumbling through.

We're running too fast. And our legs can't keep up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mess. So go one more time. No, I think we're done. I think we're done. I mean, how are you going to make it better?

You've met, it was perfect. That was Benson Bones. Sorry, I'm we're done. I think we're done. I mean, how are you gonna make it better? You've met, it was perfect. That was Benson Boone, sorry I'm here for someone else. We gonna offer anything? We just gonna sit there and say he's paralysed. He's paralysed. I'm panicking because you guys shit can my last one. Okay, we'll move on. It's 19 minutes away from eight.

Allow me. Now we wanna talk about, because God travel, I mean, winter's coming right, which is when the Kiwis, if you're lucky enough, love to just ditch out. You didn't leave a gap for me, if you could go back to the start of that sentence and say winter is coming.

These gaps, okay. All right. Well we want to talk about travel, because winter's coming. All right Ned Stark. Don't, what are you doing? I'm just trying to be more invested in the show. Yeah.

Just trying to inject my personality. Just trying to inject yourself into everything. Trying to inject my personality. That's a Ruhaili Sproul move. That's like you do buttons, you run the ship. Yeah. I didn't like girl stuff. I don't know, you're a female, and you do female stuff.

Yeah, period. Period. Yeah, and I'm just the comic guy. Right. With some well-timed references. I'd be looking at that position. Re-looking at it. Yeah, I'm just sort of re-evaluating. Maybe you're the woman. Maybe you're the woman of the show. I need to re-evaluate the stuff. And I'd be looking at that position. Re-looking at it. Yeah, I'm just sort of re-evaluating.

Maybe you're the woman. Maybe you're the woman of the show. I need to re-evaluate this stuff. And I'll be the comedian. Okay. All right. Winter coming. This is a time that Kiwis would go,

oh we love, if we can. We love to ditch out to somewhere sunny. Yep. Right? And a lot of people are going Australia, the islands, and Japan's a big one. Yeah, Japan's roaring at the moment. Got some friends in Thailand at the moment.

Ever since I saw the Kardashians in Bora Bora, I wanted to go there. I've always wanted to go to Bora Bora, but when I saw the Kardashians, they really made me and the girls, like, mateys in Bora Bora. I'm doing the same thing now. That's not a me destination.

That's a couple's, like, romantic, get bored and... Yeah, you're in a cabin by yourself and you're overlooking the sea. Yeah, for seven days, you're in a cabin by yourself. Yeah, for seven days. You're seven days, you're in a cabin, overlooking the water, it's like, no thanks. What can I do? We're the roller coasters. How is my Tinder date gonna get here?

In a boat? It's some kind of kayak? Well, we wanna talk about when you are overseas, those moments that get lost in translation. Because someone, and I don't see a problem with this, someone was in Italy, lucky lucky, and they ordered themselves a hot choccy. Now when you order a hot choccy,

you think of nice chocolate, milky, beverage, maybe with a marshmallow. You're always rolling the dice on a cafe hot chocolate. Like, is it lots of water? Is it watery? Is it lots of milk? How much cocoa powder? When you get a milky one and the chocolate's just an under note, you're like, I'm not a baby.

Yeah. Well, they got the opposite. They got a cup of melted chocolate. I'm not complaining. Who's upset? I'm not complaining. I'll be like, blah. Hang on.

Yeah, I'll be like, blah. Because I'm imagining it wasn't cheap. Do you think it would take a whole block of Whittaker's to fill up one cup? Nah, nah, because I've melted a block for baking before. It's a bit more than that. Maybe half. But wait, how much is, the equivalent of like,

a big mug is like 300 mils. Oh my God, okay, yum. Big chocolate bar's what, 300 and something grams? I would eat a cup of melted chocolate. Same! Okay, cafe's listening. I reckon you'd be sick. Start this.

Yeah. Start this. I reckon you'd be sick. I'm out of chocolate. What do you mean I can eat a whole block of chocolate anyway? Yeah, Start this. I reckon you'd be so violently sick afterwards. What do you mean I can eat a whole block of chocolate anyway? Yeah, but you kinda go um um um um um um um. Yeah, this just got gobbing out. Over the course of an hour you're just like, blub blub blub.

No, I'm not drinking it, I'm spooning it in. Okay, tomorrow on the show Fletch is drinking a whole cup of melted chocolate. I'll do it. If he thinks he can do it. Yeah, I'll do it. Wacky. Wacky. Wacky.

Wacky. Wacky. Wacky. Wacky. Alrightacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky! Wacky!

Wacky! like proper white like Whittaker's or a nice it's not just good I'm not doing creamy milk anyway okay do you think dark chocolate would be the easiest chocolate to drink yeah I think it would be sweet like dairy milk and white would just kill you this woman's sitting in Italy she's ordered a hot chocolate and a cup of chocolate comes out yeah because it's lost in translation translation they're saying hot chocolate they heat it up chocolate and put it in the thing now I know like this is what it's like when you go overseas you know the Lost in translation, her saying hot chocolate, they heated up chocolate and put it in the thing. Now I know, like, this is what it's like

when you go overseas and you know the minimum language. And you use Kiwi Alingo as well, that can not go down well into some countries. You can't have a sav, yeah. Can't have a sav, and they're like, what the hell is that? So we wanna know from you this morning, what was lost in translation when you were overseas?

Yeah. Were you pronouncing something wrong? what was lost in translation when you were overseas? Yeah. Were you pronouncing something wrong? Was it your accent? Did you offend someone? Yes. Did you end up somewhere where you weren't supposed to? Tattoo. What about like tattoos?

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I want to get. This is the word in English I want it to be, but I want it to be in your language, so now you translate it into words that can translate back and wrong. Well, but I want it to be in your language, so now you translate it into words that you translate back and wrong. Yes, well this, when I was travelling from Barcelona

to Venice years ago, my mum and I were in the line, and they kept on yelling up and down the line, Valencia, Valencia, and we were like, well we're not going to Valencia, we're going to Venice. She was saying Venezia, she was saying Venice in Italian, and we missed our flight. Oh yeah. As in like, if you were on this flight,

come up to the top and we're like, not us. Bit of a language barrier there. Okay, 0800GILESATM, give us a call, text through, 9696. What was lost in translation, Oversea? A tourist. I love these stories that are coming through. A tourist was in Italy, ordered a hot chocolate and a mug of melted chocolate arrived.

Which again, I would not be unhappy about. Us here on the show would not be happy about it. It would be wild. It would be wild. Laura, what was lost in translation overseas? Oh, hey guys, before we get started, long time no see. It's nice to call you out here.

The minute you took that breath, I reached for the bell. Yeah, you reached for the bell. Let's give it a bit of heat. Let's give it a bit of heat. Yay! Welcome to my home. Welcome to the show.

Welcome Laura. I'm so overwhelmed, I'm so mindful as well. He knew. Let's give it a bit of heat. Let's give it a bit of heat. Yay! Welcome to my height of my world. Welcome to the show. Welcome Laura. I'm so overwhelmed, I'm so mournful as well. Ah! Ring the Maurinsville bell. We need a cowbell for that one. Yeah we do. We do need a cowbell.

So Laura, you were in Croatia? Yes, in Croatia, horrifically hungover from, you know, my hot fuel-souled Croatia for the week. Yep, okay. And I dropped myself to a bar, I'm solo, I just need the good old lemon, lime and bitters, you know, quencher. When you're a little bit dusty,

you just need something alcoholic. Cause you've got the liquids. Yeah, you've got the liquid, you've got the sweet lemonade, you've got the bitters. Yeah, it's perfect. Exactly. And so I asked for a lemon, lime and bitters, and you kind of like,

enunciate what you're saying, because you know, English, speaking language, lem, et cetera. And then I got their local lager, but it was poured in a half pint. So I was like, clearly I look rough as duck, because they don't quite preserve the full pint. The last thing this chick needs is more alcohol.

Yeah, and then they go and pour a little raspberry shot glass, and it was almost like the sweet raspberry cordial that we get here. Okay, yum, yum. So I was, because you're on your own, you feel a little bit like you don't want to be a wanker and be like, what is this? But I was like, oh, it's just the lemon-lime and bitters.

And he kind of pointed to the shot glass and he goes, yes, that's the bitters. And then pointed to the lager and he's like, and lager? You want like citrus lager? And I was like- Raspberry! and then pointed to the lager and he's like, and lager, you want like citrus lager? And I was like. Raspberry. Wait, do you know what though? I would probably pour the raspberry into a lemony beer.

That might taste all right. That's an Irish thing or a Scottish thing, eh, the black currant into a beer. It would kind of be similar. Yeah, well guys, what did I do? I just poured the raspberry into the beer. Yeah, my girl. She's from Morrisville.

Yeah, man. Waste not one knot! Did it taste okay though? Yeah, no it actually did. It was surprisingly good. Do you know what I reckon, Laurie, you could take that drink down to the top pub. You could ask for that drink at the top pub in Morrinsville. They'll make you one that could really catch on in Morrinsville as a bit of a summer spritzer.

Do you know, Hayley, this is what they call the pubs in Morrinsville, the top pub and the bottom pub. No, the top pub and the knot. The top pub and the knot. The top pub goes hard. The top pub does go bottom. No, the top pub in the not. They got room. The top pub goes hard. The top pub does go hard. Very original. The Nottingham Hotel is a beautiful old building.

Hayley, you'd love to buy it and renovate it. Laura, thank you. Gabriel, what was lost in translation overseas? Hi, so this was something that happened to myself and my girlfriend, Sophie. She's here as well. Good morning, Sophie. Hi, Sophie. Hi, babe, hi myself and my girlfriend, Sophie. She's here as well. Good morning, Sophie. Hi, Sophie.

Hi babe, hi Sophie. Hi, Soph. So we were working as summer camp counselors in Canada a few years back. And it was the last session of the summer and we had this group of 16 year old Canadian girls for our campers. And we were the only two counselors from New Zealand there.

And as Kiwis, we like to say sweet as oh We're going we've been going the whole summer saying sweet as and and every time we did it We got sort of a little bit of a weird look from the campers And we thought just because it was you know a weird you know lingo term not something that they say And we discovered right at the end of camp when one of our counselors listened to us properly They said sorry when one of our campers listened to us properly, they realised that they thought we were saying sweet ass. Yeah.

Oh yes. We were saying our campers had a sweet ass. Yeah. So they had sweet asses? Hey Sophie, Sophie block your ears for just a minute. Um, Gabriel, did they though? Yeah, did they? I am, I am not feeling comfortable commenting on that. Yeah, no, fair enough.

Gabriel, thank you. So many messages that we'll get to. So many just messaged in saying, oh my God, I've just realized I also in Italy just got a cup full of melted chocolate when I asked for a hot chocolate. And I was just like, this just must be it. This is what happens. And do you, how much do you think you charge for that?

I don't know, but I'm gonna be ordering hot chocolate. That's like, surely at least $25. Yeah. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Lovely producer Shannon, who has, by the way, made us all plastic bead geckos and we just love them so much and I believe she will be opening an Etsy store to sell these goods.

You know what we talked about them at how they're back in popularity, these crafty goods. Yeah they're back, they're back. Producer Shannon joins us in studio. Hello. Hey we love, thank you for the geckos. You're welcome. Yeah thanks for the geckos. You're welcome. Yeah, thanks for the geckos.

Do you wanna plug your business? Oh, I mean, I'll just chuck them on my Instagram. Shannon J. Trim. Shannon's geckos. Shannon J. Trim. Now, Shannon, you have been invited to attend a wedding. My friend has been invited, and it's a genuine my friend, not me.

Okay, yes. But she's been invited to a wedding, and along with the invitation was an entry fee cost of 120 Australian dollars. I've never, I've heard of people doing this online but I've never known of anyone that this has actually happened to. So in the wedding invite to your friend, was it like, dear John? Wait, was it at Dreamworld? No.

Oh. So like you're invited- Because you know that would be an entry fee right? Yeah. Yeah. You're invited to the wedding of Joe and Jane. Yeah. Lesbians.

I don't know I'm just pointing out lesbians. Yeah right. Joe and Jane, please transfer $120. Yeah to cover the food. It's specifically saying this covers your food cost. Which I know weddings are real expensive. I hear it's about $100 a head, but what would that be in New Zealand?

130-ish, 140-ish? That's a lot for a dinner. And my friend's got quite extensive. Oh, is this per person, not for the couple? Yeah, yeah, per person. Oh heck, that must be nice. She's got quite high needs as far as food, and she's like, will I be accommodated for?

Me too, lots. Yeah, but like if you're a celiac and you're paying $130. Cause I know lots of people who are like vegan and stuff, they'll be like, yeah, there's a vegan meal and you sharpen its lettuce. Oh yeah. That's a vegan meal by definition.

Well it's vegan, yeah. But if you're spending $130. Yeah. You want a really good amount of vegan food. Yeah. I just feel like people should throw the wedding they can afford. Like, and if you want to have a lavish wedding,

that that's, and you can afford it. If you can't afford it, have a smaller, quieter wedding. Or if you're needing people to pay for their own food, do a potluck wedding or a, Or like BYO, find a venue. Yeah, BYO, booze or something to keep it cheaper. There was no word on whether the bar situate, like is it an open bar?

Imagine if it was. I paid $120 to get to this wedding, and then I had to buy my own drinks at the bar. Or you get like three tokens. Feel free to join in the conversation if this has happened here in New Zealand. Somebody's message, Jen, they're planning a wedding at a nice venue, they've been told to now allow $300 per person

for food and drink. What? I mean, everything is getting expensive. So of course it's food and drinks. Of course it would be more expensive. When we got married, it was they basically $180 per head was what it cost us to invite each person. Now if I could go back, I would not invite half of them.

Order some pizzas. Yeah, order some pizzas. Would I have been there? Oh yeah, you would still have been there. And if we could have gone back and it was now, I would not invite half of us. Order some pizzas. Yeah, order some pizzas. Would I have been there? Would I have? Oh, thank you. And if we could have gone back and it was now, I'd be invited. We'd have known each other there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You'd be my best man too. Me? Two best men, which one's best best? I'd be best best man. Yeah. Should be best person.

Best bitch. Yeah. Sure, sure. If I had a wedding, this is what I would do. Be like, hey guys, the wedding starts at 8pm. Yeah, come feed. Arrive fed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And preload. Yeah, that's actually a great idea. And then the rest of the drinks will be provided to you, but don't arrive dry and hungry. That's actually a great idea, a night wedding. Yeah, when you just go, hey by the way, we don't have a lot of budget for dinner, so, feed up, we'll have snacks, we'll have snacks.

You can do that as a New Year's Eve one. Yeah, yeah, totally. And then the party goes on to midnight. It feels purposeful, but it's actually just to save money. Have we just hacked a wedding? I think we just hacked a wedding. Just hacked it. I think as a gang.

This is a gang hack. Someone said don't have a wedding, elope and travel. Yeah, well that's what a lot of people, but also I feel like this would be a great way of weeding people out too, because people would be like, I'm not speaking out. Friend of mine did a RSVP with 50 bucks to say you're attending, do not bring a gift

and all alcohol will be provided. Fitty. That's okay, isn't it? That's all right, because that's what we have. It's just the exchange, money just feels funny. Yeah, it does. I don't know why it's like, I'll happily bring you a $50 note for your wishing well,

but an entry fee, I don't know. It's just kind of a fuck, so is your friend gonna go? She didn't tell me whether she was gonna go. She just recently found this out, so we were kind of debating it, because I'm a part of a few weddings now. I'm a maid of honour, I'm a bridesmaid for someone else. Thank you, it's a big honour.

It's not a big honour, it's a huge workload on the day. I'll tell you, it's not fun at all. It's the worst job. You might as well be the emcee. Yeah, oh my god. Would you just be able to quickly emcee my wedding? It's not my workload on the day. It's not fun at all. It's the worst job. You might as well be the emcee. Yeah, oh my god. Would you just be able to quickly emcee my wedding? Oh my god, my friend did that. She said to me, she goes,

you're made of honour, which means you'll be happy to know you're not the emcee. Yeah, emcee's the worst. Emcee's the worst. Yeah. People who've never done public speaking or organising or anything, and they'll be like, it's gonna be easy,

and Vaughan will do it. Do you know what Vaughan can't do? He can't organise anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't keep anything running on track. Tangental. How long is this wedding gonna go for? Three times as long as it needs to if I'm in charge.

If I'm in charge. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Can we just start? We wanna preface this by saying we love Napier. I love holidaying there. I love the juanaries. We love Judy Drench. We love the airport.

Yeah. Not a bad word to, we love the airport. Yeah. Not a bad word to say about beautiful Napier. However. Thank you. International acclaim has been laid upon. Sorry, we've got to reboot Vaughan. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Boom, boom, boom, boom. International acclaim has been laid upon Napier as one of the 15 cities with the most tantalising food scenes. Now I'll agree, we're talking Hawke's Bay when we talk about the wanneries. But to say Napier, to me that's the city of Napier. So this is on Lonely Planet, right?

Which is a very, very respected travel, well it's a website, but also publication and all that. And we were just like, ah, Napier. We did have a great curry. We did have a great curry. What was that curry? Did you know that curry? We did have a great curry.

It was a great curry. Yeah, but like, a curry. Now what curry did you get? Cause you're a. I had butter chicken. great curry. Yeah, but like, a curry. It was a great curry. A curry. Now what curry did you get, cause you're a... I butter chicken. You branched out. I branched out and got the butter chicken.

Yeah, I'm brave of you, so brave. It's, yeah, because, okay, so, okay, this is number one. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Incredible. Oh my god, of course. Street food. Which I remember Hanoi and Vietnam having incredible street food.

That's incredible there. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Great Malaysia food, ring dang. Number two on the list, Bangkok in Thailand. Great street food. I mean great food. Bangkok literally doesn't have it all. It's got cheap street eats and then bougie.

And then super bougie restaurants and just like seafood. Number four. Number four on the list of the most tantalizing cities in the world for food, Lucknow and India. Oh my god, imagine. Followed by Napier, New Zealand. Now Lonely Planet's praise highlighted Napier's 80 plus, Hawke's Bay's 80 plus wonders.

I would say that's a Hawke's Bay achievement, not a Napier achievement. It's close to and proximity, so I guess if you were gonna say city, but you could just say region? Yeah. But also, like, I'm Auckland, right? I'm not saying Auckland's a great, awesome city, but man, we've got food here. Oh, Christ yes. Wellington, like home of bloody Al Brown. Queenstown. Queenstown, if you wanna talk wanneries

and food wanneries, darling, Queenstown. It's, because after Napier on the list, I'll quickly run through Lima and Peru, there's a Bel Queenstown. It's, it's, it's, because after Napier on the list, I'll quickly run through Lima and Peru. There's a Belém in Brazil. Never been. Palermo in Sicily. Yes. Lyon in France.

Yeah, it's pronounced Lyon. Porto in Portugal. Really? Yeah, band-agented Port. Tbilisi in Georgia. Well, how many? Wait, Bristol in the United Kingdom. Bristol, Bristol, what?

Bristol, mate. No, they've got no bloody good, Bristol in the United Kingdom. Bristol, what? Bristol, mate. No, they got no bloody good- Fish and chips. Fish and chips. Go down Chipper. Guys. Enando's. Charleston and South Carolina,

Buffalo and the USA and Marrakesh. Marrakesh and Morocco. That's where Moroccan spice comes from. That rounds out the list of the 15 tantalizing cities for food. But wait. But wait. Artisan cheese tours.

Oh yum. Six hatted restaurants. So that's New Zealand's Michelin star equivalent. I didn't know we had a Michelin star equivalent until reading this article. Yes we do. Hatted restaurants. Local ingredients thriving such as peaches, figs, kawakata and harapito. But it's Napier. You know it's not. Now daggers are being thrown and I think I want to bring her into the conversation, our Napier gal, producer car woman. This is absolutely awful. Don't be talking about my place like that. Listen, I prefaced.

We love Napier. Now, I think what's happened here is for most people who come to Hawke's Bay for the wineries, for the food, et cetera, et cetera, they stay in Napier. So is that what happened? You stay there, but then you get a burger fuel or something. But you're, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Somebody did point out maybe there was a typo and it was meant to be Naples. Naples. I think they're screwed up here. I mean, there are some incredible restaurants within Napier City. Oh, absolutely. You know who's being ignored here?

Hastings. Yeah, mm. Mm. Oh, wow. Okay, that was producer Carlin that did the mm. She snuffed. Absolutely. You know who's being ignored here? Hastings. Wow. Okay, that was producer Carlin that did the, she snuffed. Yeah, she snuffed. She snuffed the Hastings. I would go to Havelock North.

Havelock North. Or Napier for some food man. I'd go to Taradale. Sure. Sure. That's not a massive area. It's not Napier. No, but there are some incredible,

like you guys didn't get to try, but Mr. D, which is right in the heart of the city of Napier, does these donuts, and you stuff them yourself with the, with the like an injection thing. You do the injection, I've seen it. I've seen it. So you can self inject?

Yeah dude, self inject your donuts. Oh my God. Why didn't we do that? Well guys, we just never spent enough time there. I know, well we did. When did you last inject a donut? We did. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Question for you. Question for the Roman Fletch. Can you believe he just said that? I was asking because this is a readily available... No wait wait wait, you're construing. Guys, you're construing. Please, just frame yourself for it. This is a readily available thing to do, two doughnuts. I had no idea, I've never done this.

You've never injected a doughnut? Well you will go on record. I've got a Bible in my bag, let me get it. He's going to put his hand on a Bible and say he's never been in check with a donor. Ford Allen Smith! I'm... We need these jobs! Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Haley. 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 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 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 do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Come on, come on. Today for the day, it's lightning week and we're here to talk about the temperature of lightning. Ooh. I imagine sizzling hot. Stood. Like a- Icy cold.

Like a Vegeta sizzling hot platter. Yes, big hot Vegeta. Vegeta. Vegeta. A single lightning bolt can reach temperatures of 30,000 Kelvin. 30,000 Kelvin. Okay.

Klein. Calvin Klein's here. Calvin Klein on the back. It's actually Calvin Harris's but 30,000 Kelvin. Okay. Clines. Calvin Klein's, yeah. Calvin Klein on a page. It's actually Calvin Harris's but. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Oh, okay. We've been too silly.

This is a fact, basically. Sorry. I'll ask you to please. Sorry, yeah. Be sensible. If Catherine had meowed, none of this would have happened. Just now that Catherine's gone, please don't ask Alice to meow, it's degrading.

I feel like, I haily asked her to meow. Okay, well please don't ask Alice to listen to meow, it's degrading. I feel like, Hayley asked it. Okay, well please don't ask her to listen to meow. I just wanted to get to know Catherine better, and then we gave her the nickname. We said she had care energy, and I think you have to claim it. Also no need to ask her to listen to their favourite colour. I think so.

Don't we all feel closer to Catherine now, and isn't that the idea of the show? Well I would have had you a meow. That would have been the perfect thing. Right, you're upset at her. I can't, as I said at the time, and I'll reiterate again now, I respect that she stuck to her guns.

Well, how would you like it if you were ringing up the show and I said, why don't you eat some hay, Hayley? You wouldn't like it, would ya? No, but I'd give you a brrrr, you know? You should give us a horse. I'd give you that. Would you?

Yeah, I would. Okay. What do you eat, hay? What are you, some kind of horse? And then you'd say, come on, give us a nay, and I'd be like, oh, you guys. Me? You're a caven.

Okay, right, no. But not old strong-willed Catherine. I'm glad to be. Or Cat, as she wants to be like, oh you got it. Me? You're a cave in. I'm a cave in. But not old strong-willed cat. No. I'm glad to be. Or cat as she wants to be known and yet she won't meow. From here on, it's Wolfcat. The core temperature of lightning can reach 30,000 Kelvin or to put that into Celsius,

you know, as God intended, 29,726 degrees Celsius. But wait, that is the air around the bolt of lightning, not the bolt itself, which isn't solid, it's plasma. So how the bloody hell on earth is Maureen Pugh, who's been hit by lightning, that West Coast MP, four times? Three times. Three times.

How is she not melted? She is cooked. She is cooked. I believe Simon Bridge has called her a bloody idiot. Neil Useless. He's saying this issue is bloody useless. Bloody useless. His words.

His words. So this is what I guess as an adult, I kind of assumed but was afraid to ask. Cause I know thunder and lightning. Cause you're a bit dumb. I'm a bit dumb, but thick. Yeah, but thick. Bit of a thickie.

Thunder and lightning are the same event, right? But because light travels fast and sound travels slower, they look like two separate things. You see the lightning, you count until the thunder. One thousand and one, one thousand and two. And how many k's away it is. How far away it is. So lightning super heats the surrounding air

in a fraction of a second, turning it into plasma, which is a state of matter where electrons are ripped apart. This super heats the air and we know what happens when you heat air, like a hot air balloon, it expands, doesn't it? The air. It expands so rapidly, it explodes, and that's the shockwave we hear as thunder.

Exploding air is thunder. I thought it was the clouds crashing together, bumping in. Boom! Boom, no. It's the super heated air around the lightning. And so it's so intense and the explosion is so much that it just, from that central point, spreads. And that's where we hear it.

That's how we hear it. Amazing. Crazy. So when you think about you crack, boom, and then you count and it's maybe like six and it's that far away, that sound hit you with, when it hits you, has originated six kilometres away. You think about if any other sound could originate

six kilometres away, how loud it must be. Yeah, it's an intense explosion. Now let me compare it to some things. Lightning is over five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Ow. Which is five and a half thousand degrees Celsius. Again, how is Maureen Pugh doing this?

We do not know. She's a magical lady. Lava from a volcano. Fresh, hot, delicious lava is 927 degrees Celsius, meaning lightning is 25 times hotter than molten lava. Wow. A blowtorch flame. You know that real one where they light it

and it's like a yellowy flame and then they twist that little thing. Yes. It turns into that hot blue flame. The sushi guy next door's got one for some of our sushi. Oh yeah, nice torched. that little film. Yes. Shoo! Turns into that hot blue flame. Yeah. The sushi guy next door's got one for some of our sushi. Oh yeah, nice torched sushi. Sometimes he torches the sushi.

Yeah, some of the tofu pockets, he torches them. Wow. Yeah. It gets a char. It gets a char on. There's a salmon pouch as well. Salmon pouch and you'll char that. It's got a creaminess on it.

Next time he does that, you could say to him, do you know you're scorching a salmon at 3,200 degrees Celsius. I don't think he'll. And then, he doesn't have much time for us. Lightning is 10 times hotter than that. He'll just be like, do you want ginger? Hey, can I just, we've had a text in,

and I just wanna read it out. Yeah. Apparently it's pronounced fajita, not fajida. Who said fajita? I did, that's how it's pronounced. Yeah, fajita. I literally had Mexican. When were we talking about fajita? I did. That's how it's pronounced. Yeah, fajita. I literally had Mexican... When are we talking about fajitas?

I said before, I literally had Mexican restaurant on a Friday and I said, can I please have the fajita sizzling hot platter? And she said yes and... I don't think you're hitting the fudge enough. It's a fajita. A fajita. And it's a soft taste. You know, I didn't get up to that on the Duolingo.

That's okay. I just think the person texting and saying it's fajita, where's the H? You know what I mean? A fajita. That's absurd. A fajita. It's a fajita.

With jalapenos. With jalepe-nos. Jalepe-nos, I do apologize. You're slightly more advanced than I am in the Spanish language. Hot fajitas with jalepe-nos. You know, on the inside of a light bulb, the old school ones that had the wire that went between the filament.

That's right. That can get to two and a half thousand degrees Celsius. Like, it's 10 times hotter than that. We're done. Wait, no, I'm not done. I'm not nearly done. I'm wrapping this up. Catherine, call us back.

And meow for us. Today's fact of the day. Wait a minute, the Earth's inner core is, it's five to six times hotter than the Earth's inner core. And not as hot as a supernova, but we don't know exactly how hot it is. Shut up. It's a to six times hotter than the Earth's inner core and Not as hot as a supernova, but we don't know exactly shut up Today's factor the day lightning really hot fact of the day 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 have been happily married for six years. My husband and I don't have children yet, but that's on the agenda. Happily, happily married.

When I first met my husband, I already belonged to a Facebook group of classmates from secondary school. Great way to keep up with old friends, including my first boyfriend, so high school boyfriend. We got chatting and realised that we hadn't stopped thinking about each other since then. Yeah. And have started engaging in some phone banter.

So not in real life, but some phone. And messages. Oh, so saucy phone. Sassy saucy phone sessions. Oh yeah, that counts as cheating. Definitely counts as cheating. Definitely counts as cheating. But you know, she's like happily married,

just have never stopped thinking about him. And isn't unhappy with her husband, is planning children. Is not at all looking away from her marriage, just there's just been this person that she has never stopped thinking about. I brought it up. She's getting entrees and a mane. Like is that the vibe? She's being a bit greedy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, well she's just popping out for pud.

She's popping out for pud, but what if husband was popping out for pud? You'd be devastated. She can't stop thinking about this guy. Then I put this up, I brought this up to the group and everyone was like, oh my God, we've got to talk about this on air. Do you know who I can't stop thinking about? What?

Catherine from just before. Cat. Yeah. I wonder what she's up to. She doesn't want to come on air and meow like a cat. I think she's practicing her meow the next time she calls. Yeah.

No, I want to know. It's interesting because people do have these people. There's always. That will be for everyone that got away. And maybe you don't have to be acting on it like this. What about not that? What about someone that you maybe were friends with and they're not on social media.

I think about a high school friend who's not on social media all the time. I'm like, son of a bitch, I don't know what they're up to. You wanna be able to know. No, no, no, no, no. Just like. You just wonder what they're up to. You wanna be up to no. Well, like, romantically. No, no, no, no, no, just like. You just wonder what they're doing. I think about them every six months,

and I wonder if they've, oh, so you only wanna take romantic calls. Yeah, I want the romance. We want that person that you still think about to this day. Yeah. Now, I don't know. Do you know what, maybe it was even, you had a one night stand with them,

and then off they went somewhere. But you just had this amazing connection. Oh my God, I just have not stopped thinking about that person. And you moved on with amazing connection. Oh my god, I just have not stopped thinking about that person. And you moved on with your life? It was a former partner. And maybe it only was a few months and then just circumstances meant you couldn't be together.

Yeah. And you both went on with your life. Yeah, it just wasn't meant to be. I mean, New Zealand is a small place. I don't know if people are just gonna admit to this. Or you can text, if you're gonna call, oh wait, $100 ZM, you can text, if you're gonna call 0800-DAL-ZM, you can do it anonymously.

9696. If you're like, I'm still, I'm married or whatever, but I still think about this person. This is what I wanna know, who is the person that you still think about, romantically? If you're willing to admit it, and you can do it anonymously, like you said, let's start with this text.

So this message in, I've had two marriages and I still think about my very first serious boyfriend. I think I'll love him till the day I die. Do you think it's the first? But if you've had two marriages, that tells me post-tense, if you're currently single, have you reached out? Yeah, I know, I know.

I need some more details on this person. And that's the thing. You can't die wondering. But also imagine reaching out and they're like, oh yuck, I don't feel the same way. Or maybe they're married and you're like. That's okay, they're allowed to. No, but you don't feel the same way. Or maybe they're married and you're like, I'm not allowed to. No, but you've spent all this time.

Let's hope they maybe, let's hope they maybe approach it slightly more sensitively than, oh yuck, no way. Oh yuck, you're a minger. Imagine finding out that the person that you've like, you always think about doesn't feel the same way. You can close the lid on it then. Close the lid.

Close the lid, lock it up, put the chain around it with some weights and throw it off a boat in the harbor. Text in anonymously, 9 696, you can call 0800 DALSATM. Who do you still think about? So many. A handful. Nikki, who is the person you still think about to this day? Oh hey guys, he was my first love.

My very first love. I think I started dating him when I was 15, and we were like till 20. Wow. Formative years. Yeah. Very formative years. And we were just, to be fair, we were just probably too young.

But yeah, we stayed in the friend zone for a long time, and we used to always cross paths, Wellington, whoops, did I say, small city. Um, whoops, hope he's not watching. Whoops! Um, or in life. Um, Oh!

Oh! Okay, so he's married now and, yeah, right. I got invited to the wedding. You got invited to the wedding? Oh, but you didn't go. Of course I did. Oh, you did.

Oh yeah. Was that hard watching your first love get married? Oh, but you didn't go? Of course we did. Oh you did? Yeah. Was that hard watching your first love get married? Um, well look, to be fair, I was just being an absolute nosy b****. Because I'm like, who is this person? Yeah. You know? Um, but hey, this is funny. At that wedding, um, later on in the evening when the drinks were flowing,

I, um, tapped his mum on the shoulder. She was facing away from me. And I never thought that they really liked me much at all. Yeah. Um, but anyway, she swings around and she's had a few and she's like, oh my God, Nikki. And she says to me, oh, the one who let getaway. Oh no. You don't need to hear that.

Okay. Also, what a bit of a dick move from mum. Yeah, at a wedding. At a wedding. Nikki. Oh, Nikki. Thank you for sharing Nikki. Anya, good morning.

Hi, good morning. Now the person that you still think about to this day. Yeah, well I had a relationship when I was 19 and he was 21. Yeah, we were really, really happy. But I talked about kids and marriage and everything, but then it just didn't work out and we broke up. Yeah, I dated a few different people, but my standards were still really high from him. Like he treated me really, really, really well. As you deserve to be. And, um... Princess Aia.

Yeah, no thank you. Yeah, no, he was really, really good. And then last year, he reached out out of the blue, saying that he'd been thinking about me for the last two years, and that nothing had really compared. And, um, and yeah he was actually in a relationship but it's okay but a crossover? Just you know maybe emotional. Some emotional crossover. You know what the admission there that there was crossover

even of the emotional kind for a brave of you to do. Yeah because most people will deny a crossover. Most people deny a crossover. I'm hooked. Did you tell him I've also been thinking about you? Stay tuned because we're gonna find out next! Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

We left you absolutely with a cliffhanger. There are some mums doing kids drop-offs who really need to hear the ending.anger. There are some mums doing kids drop-offs who really need to hear the ending. I imagine there's some dads too doing kids drop-offs. Come on, come on. And they really wanna know the story. We wanna know who you still think about. Now we just left Anya.

Recap Anya, I'll recap it in 10 seconds. Okay. She dated a guy from 19, when she was 19, he was 21, there was a little bit of an age gap and he treated her like a damn princess and didn't work. They couldn't stop thinking of each other. She could never stop thinking of him. Her standard was him. And then one day he reached out saying he can't stop thinking of her, but he

was in a relationship, we now rejoin Anya to learn what happened after this emotional connection. Thank you, just really quickly, in terms of emotional crossover, he did not reach out to me until after he'd broken things off. Okay, yeah, good. Clarification, clarification. So he says to you, hey, I'm still thinking about you. Yes, once he'd ended things. But yeah, so just in case. Yeah, well we don't want to cause any drama. He actually reached out to my mum, to be completely honest.

Right, oh wow. And told my mum. Was he trying to hook up with your mum? That's a bit rough. I did not expect that plot twist. Wow, twist. He really wanted it to work and was worried that if he reached out to me I wouldn't accept talking to him. So he reached out to my mum. He told me with my mum, told him how much he thought about me. And then mum passed it on to me, which I was just shocked as heck.

And yeah, anyway we met up and yeah he just said like gave me kind of an apology for last time and how things ended and he felt really bad as much as it was amicable yeah and then yeah I kind of we kind of just took it slow for the purse like wee while but yeah now we're like happily back together. Oh, yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes. He's the one.

He's the one, he's the one. He got away and now they're back. Yeah, no, it was very sweet and his family opened me, like, no, oh my God, his family, like, led me back into their family with open arms. Oh, that's nice. That was really, really sweet. That's so nice.

How long ago was this? Where are we at now? Nearly a year. Oh, amazing. This is great. This is great. You know each other, but you're a new version of yourself. Amazing.

And you think you're so, I think, Caller of the Week. Caller of the Week. Caller of the Week. Caller of the Week. We're gonna hook you up with the Chemist warehouse. Prize pack, home of the biggest brands at the lowest prices. Wait there, we'll sort that out.

Thank you. Hey, you sell some chapstick with all that smooch and you're done. Thank you. I'm gonna say it, reading this, love is very much well and alive. So many messages. Yeah, I think we're gonna, it's after nine o'clock.

Dear I suggest. Okay. Well, just keep, we'll just keep broadcasting. Keep going. We'll just read a few more out. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I'll show our roles.

I still think about my first ever boyfriend, my microphone's falling and I'm following it. My first ever boyfriend when I was 13. We sort of reconnected at the end of last year out of the blue as we were both home for Christmas in Sri Lanka. And again. So many Sri Lankan listeners.

We have so many Sri Lankan listeners. He was going through a divorce and I'm going through a separation. There was a spark and we'm going through a separation. There was a spark and we were messaging about, messaging each other every day. But he went radio silent as his divorce was getting very intense.

Sadly not in touch right now, but I still think about him. Our old schoolmate called me from his place last week. They were talking about me. He's still clearly thinking about me and I hope when all this passes we can reach the end. Oh my god, yes, I still think about my ex from 17 years ago. We only broke up because he lost his license and I didn't have mine, so there's no way of seeing each other.

I was crazy about him. We are both married now, but I think about him a lot, especially when I'm having sex with my husband. Ah! Oh my god, what? I was not expecting that last sentence. Wow. Just thought I'd read it out.

Mamma Mia. There was one that came in that was wild. This is so wild. There was one that came in that was wild. This is so wild. There was one that came in that was like a religious thing. I still miss my- People getting like butterflies thinking about them. Oh, I still miss this girl I love deeply.

She was Muslim and I'm Indian. We were together until 2021, but had to part ways because her parents did not accept our relationship. She was beautiful, kind, and meant everything to me. I just hope she's happy wherever she is. Aww. Wow.

It's real sad. Stupid religion. Stupid religion It's real sad. Stupid religion. Stupid religion getting in the way. Getting in the way of true love and romance. And isn't that if you had a God what he wants all along? Two humans to happily celebrate each other's forms and spirits.

I think we should end on the most romantic one I've found. Okay. I'm gay. I think about all of my exes all the time. Thank God for the camera roll. Eggplant emoji, splash emoji. Wait, when they say exes, do they just mean... Hookups.

Grind the hookups. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, lovers alive. That's beautiful. That's beautiful stuff. That's lovely. Stunning. There's not a lot of faces in all of those albums, though.

Nah, the eggplant emoji, splash emoji, that's the thing. That's because he's going to make ratatouille later, and of course you need to wash your eggplant. Is that the podcast done? Because I'm busting for a poos. Busting for a poos. Jesus. Give us a review.
