From the ZM Podcast Network. This is Flash one and Hayley's big pod. Thanks to animates making happy happen for pets. There's an update too after yesterday's debacle, the booking debacle. We'll give you an update on the show today. I booked Hayley's flights to Melbourne this weekend and spelled her last name wrong. Spool. Did you see my, I hate to say it, but my fan account, Spralien, made a comment and shared it saying,

well, I think I should change it to Spoolien. Spoolien. Take the R out. Take the R out. Out of respect. Well, we've got an update for you this morning. Including one of the best performances I've seen in my life. From Fletcher.

That's a lay it on. That's a lay it on with the call center guy. The top six is coming out Vaughan. Yeah a now defunct Kiwi doctor, that's what they call it when they strike you from the... okay and some that used to appear on TV to give medical opinions. Has said that HIV doesn't exist. Oh dear I hope Africa doesn't catch wind of that. This is what makes you want to turn the internet off. Yeah, I think we turn the internet off.

I reckon just at the wall. I am one C in here to tell you to turn the internet off. I've got the top six other things that definitely don't exist. A study's been done in LA, and I don't know if you've ever driven in LA. I haven't driven, but I've been in a car. It's nuts, yeah. So they did a study and it found that even a tiny increase in traffic congestion made people go through the drive-through.

Yeah I get it. As opposed to go to the supermarket or cooking at home. I think boredom is the number one reason I eat. Seek and own, and then nutrition and fuel. If you keep busy, I just find you don't eat as much. Yeah, totally. And then you only eat when you're hungry. Yeah, and that's maybe when you're on holiday

why you get into just kind of lazing about and yamming up. Especially if there's like a buffet at the hotel. I'm hitting the buffet. I'm hitting the buffet hard. Breakfast buffets, oh my god, so good. So they looked at traffic in LA between five and seven, right around dinner time, they had the most impact on food choices.

You're done for the day, you're hungry. Yeah, people are heading away from work, away from the city, and they reckon that in LA alone, they reckon it adds up to 1.2 million extra fast food visits a year. Yeah, it makes sense. The traffic congestion.

I don't think you ever really plan to go through the drive-through. You know what I mean? You always sort of just see it and think, oh, actually I don't, in your head, you're like, I'm not in the mood to cook. There's nothing in the fridge. I'm stuck in traffic. When I get home now, I just sit down, I can have dinner and then it's done. I could eat it in the traffic.

I've really got a hankering for nonies at the moment. For nuggies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, we're going out tonight. Maybe we could have a late night nug before we go home. I think you should both as sort of a caregiver. Yep. In these situations, a father figure is a show.

I would like you both to have something to eat before you go to bed. We have made that mistake before. It will just, I want you to eat. I don't make that mistake. What are you eating you go to bed. We have made that mistake before. It will just... I don't make that mistake. What are you eating at the start of the night? Well, probably pizza. Pretty good at a bar.

Great base. Bar with pizza. Oh, wood fired. Maybe. I don't know if it's wood fired. I have to make sure Hayley eats though. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Sometimes she forgets.

Yes, yes, yes. Hayley, come on. Let's not be afraid to snack. Yep. At said show. Well, you know I always have cheese balls at my house. Always have cheese balls. Always have a few drinks at my house. And then something... At the end. Just a little Jenny snack. Yep at said show. You know I always have cheese balls at my house always a few drinks at my house and then something At the end. Just a little Jenny say quat at the end. Maybe some nuggies. Some pre-sleeky nugs. I'd like photo evidence of all the eating please.

You know this is fair. You know me I worry. You do worry. I think anytime I've ever gotten too carried away Food has been the missing ingredient of the night. I do love a holier than thou show and I feel like tomorrow might be one. When you're- Where I get to be Mr. High and Mighty. Oh yeah, we're gonna be absolute pieces of shit tomorrow. We'll be like two little bits of dust breezing in. Why are concerts at nine o'clock at night?

It's outrageous. It is outrageous. It is our time. On our Wednesday. And you know they're gonna be playing. Drops of Jupiter last. So we have to stay the whole time. Not play. ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Haley.

Now there was a study done in Australia. It was conducted, I will say it was conducted by Westinghouse, which is like an appliance brand. About appliance use across Australia. Now don't leave me yet. Listener don't leave. This is more exciting than it sounds because one of the pieces of data they gathered

is that 69% of Gen Z respondents use the oven or dishwasher or both for storage. Okay, I was roasted a few times for the amount of crap I left in my oven. Do you, but is it like trays and dishes? Yeah, trays. Trays and stuff. No, no is it like trays and dishes? Yeah, trays and stuff. No, no, they're using... Muffin, silicon muffin holders.

Yeah, yeah, tray them in there. Because if you want to use the oven, just pop them on. And also apartment space, there is no where to put muffin trays. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shame. I've got nice kidney beans. They sort of pull out like that. Oh yeah, they'll be alright until they overload them and...

No, no, they're stacked pretty high. Yeah, it'll be alright until they overload them. No, no, they're stacked pretty high. It's not gonna last forever. No, no, no. Every night special. It was German technology. Kitchen, yeah, the Germans, well, how did they go? Well. They had a bit of a blip there.

They went alright for a bit. We're calling it a blip, are we? We're calling it a blip, okay. Yeah, we're calling it a blip. So they're storing things in their ovens because basically they're not using them. And this is- That's wild. I mean, this is a big thing in New York.

Carrie used to do it in Sex and the City, which was like, she used to store shoes in her oven. Because you don't cook in New York. Why would you cook in New York? You can get food anytime, anywhere, anything you want. So people use their ovens as a storage space also because their apartments are so small in New York. So people are doing this in Australia, storing their bloody... and not just their trays, because I think I

keep one tray in the oven at all times, but I've got a nice big drawer underneath. Right. But also using, if they've got a dishwasher, using that as storage. Yeah, what do you use your dishwasher? I guess if you don't have any storage for pots and pans, where are you gonna put them? I guess if you don't have any storage for pots and pans, where are you gonna put them? But also if you don't cook, then yeah, the dishwasher is- And you've got a sink right, so- I mean, you're still using glasses,

but you just hand wash those. If you're using two glasses a day and a plate and an iron and a fork for your takeout, and one thing here willy-nilly, then yeah, you just use the sink, and your dishwasher is prime real estate. It's 600 by 600 storage. That's nice storage, and you've got your oven as well.

Now we're talking 1200 by 1200. That's a lot of storage in a tiny little apartment. Yeah, I saw her, welcome to my house sort of thing with Chloe Feynman, who does the Nicole Kidman impression. She's on SNL. She's in a new book called Summer of 69, I think. Okay.

She gave people a tour of her home and opened her oven and it had like wigs and stuff in there. Like not even kitchen storage, just stuff she's like, I don't have a place for this. So I put the wigs in the oven. See that's when someone comes over and they're like, I'm gonna heat up some hash browns, turn the oven on, don't check anything's inside.

Yeah, your electronics are in there, your old DVD player and some of your old paperwork. Yeah, be careful. Be careful. ZM's Fletchborne and Hayley. Now I remember when these hit the market and boy did the Smith House eat them. It was around COVID,

cause that's when we started hooning these. The Harvest Pea Snap. The Harvest Pea Snap. Yeah, the Harvest Pea Snap. And I remember, we just like, we're trying to have a little bit of the bag. You know why? And then the bag's gone.

They might as well. Did they put a resealer? I don't think they even put a resealer on the top. No, you can't reseal one of those. You have to eat the whole thing. And people, I feel like people are lulled into a false sense because it's pee. Yeah, they thought they were a healthy snack.

And also those bags had five servings in them. I remember that. I remember reading that and being like, excuse you, five servings, you mean two. Two servings tops. You mean one. You mean like 1.1. So I think that, you know, it's like on a tube of Pringles, You mean two. Two servings tops. You mean one. You mean like one point. Yeah. One.

So I think that, you know, it's like on a tube of Pringles, it doesn't say potato chips on it. Does it? I don't think so, no. Because they're like, well, they think legally you're allowed to call them that. Yeah, there are peas in them.

No, no, no, but that's what I'm saying. It's all in the title. Harvest Snaps Baked Pea Crisps. Yeah. The crisps on there indicate they're not just, as an Australian influencer has found out this week, and we found out some time ago, and I was just talking to somebody about them this week, they're not like a whole sweet pea situation.

No, the shape's manufactured that way. A machine is pushing them into that shape and then they get baked afterwards. Yeah. And given the sort of like, but you think about it, of course it's not peas. No. Of course it is. Where's all the bits? Have you ever eaten a pod? It's gross.

Yeah, and they're so fibrous. Yeah, you can do it. Yeah, but not. But I guess in people's head they just think they puff up real cute like a crisp. Yeah, and that's why they've got that shape. Yeah. No, no, they're machine pressed. They're machine pressed there. Yep.

Well, Kelby, the Japanese company behind the snack has responded after this Australian Influencers videos amassed all these views. Harvest snaps are proudly made with green peas, which are milled in-house and then shaped into pods before being baked, not fried, for a crunchy, better-for-you snack. So we never claimed they were dehydrated peas.

Our packaging clearly outlines the ingredients and nutritional profile. We just wanted to make a healthier snack. Yeah. And I guess it had to be. Is it healthier though? It's a bit healthier. It's a bit.

Well, they're baking it, not frying it. For frying it, we'd have more oil. Still, it's processed, though, isn't it? Yeah, 100%. It's a chip. But it's delicious, we don't care. We don't care. They're not dehydrated entire pods of peas.

Yeah. Oh man, they are. But I initially thought, like don't care. They're not dehydrated entire pods of peas. Oh man, they're yum. But I initially thought like a couple of years ago that they were peas. Oh and when I first saw them I was like, of course it makes perfect sense. They've done something, they've dipped it in something and it's made it all eatable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've dipped it, it's broken down the fibrous nature of the pod. The peas inside of the pods have actually just sort of disappeared during the process. And they've turned into a delicious salt and vinegar snack.

Dude, are you kidding me? Did you know there's a wasabi flavor? Yeah. Yeah, there's lots of flavors now. I haven't had the wasabi. The wasabi rolls, it's got that nice sort of heat. Yeah. Well we are having a few.

Probably not real wasabi. Cause you know like, No, it's course-rate. Sushi shops are like wasabi and you're like, that's just green horse radish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well we are having a few drinks tonight before our concert,

so maybe I'll get some cheese balls and, Harvest snaps. And some, Are you gonna do us up a platter? Salt and vinegar. I'll do a platter, yeah. Yeah. Well, we are having a few drinks tonight before our concert. So maybe I'll get some cheese balls and. Harvest snaps. And some. Are you gonna do us up a platter? I'll do a platter, yeah. You should flinch your charcuterie boards out. Quite something to the whole. Legendary, and can you put some licorice all sorts on there

cause it always delights me. And cheese balls, okay, so what's on there? Cheese balls, licorice all sorts. Meats, cheeses. Meats, cheeses. Crackers. Crackers. Sometimes some Turkish delights.

Sometimes Turkish delights. Sometimes Turkish delights, and he gets me the special ones. He gets me the like New Zealand made ones. Yeah, we'll just see. There's only three of us, so I don't wanna... Charcuterie boards are more for like groups of five or more. Don't say that. Charcuterie boards can be for one.

Well, somebody needs to invent something that says charcuterie board, and when you're finished and you wanna seal it, there some like sliding door over the top. Like a pull wrap. Oh yeah. Yeah. Glad wrap. Yeah.

Because when the cheese gets all that sweetie, when you're outside at barbecue. No, no go on the glad wrap. It's too hard and then taking it off when you just want a little something off it you've got to get it. Yeah. But I was thinking like a sliding door. Like a lunch box. Or like a silicon slider that then you lip under. Oh yeah. Guys we have so many good business ideas it's flesh, blood and hearty. We should go to the Sistema Factory and get these made. sliding door like a lunch box. Or like a silicon slider that you lip under.

We have so many good business ideas as Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. We should go to the Sistema Factory and get these made. A giant Sistema charcuterie. Payton, we're going to payton it so don't even steal our idea. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. From the Flesh, Vaughan and Hayaley group chat.

on the TVNZ health series, The Checkup, has worked in a wide range of healthcare roles, but she also thinks that HIV doesn't exist. A health practitioner's disciplinary tribunal focused on four of her videos, which allegedly spread misinformation about HIV AIDS virus and the sexually transmitted infection G-Gonorrhea. I know it's Z-Gonorrhea or something. Well, since the beginning of the HIV AIDS epidemic an estimated 42.3 million people

I was gonna have a guess how many people died of HIV have died from AIDS related illnesses. Jesus. I mean, that's a lot. I mean, that's. Yeah, what's her. Nearly 10 New Zealand's. What's her thinking? What's her justification?

The three part series titled The Yin and Yang of HOV. Bailey claims there's no proof that exists, nor that it is sexually transmitted and that a treatment for it can be caused. It's transmitted by lots of different ways. How? Oh my God. Electron spheres, yin's. Anyway, when does this start?

Did you go down some COVID holes? COVID, grab a doctor. I feel like I'm so angry I could throw something. Please don't. Anyway. You know what happened last time you threw your drink bottle I cast a record bro oh my god oh my god remember when I was losing my mind yeah it's crazy I remember um top six other things that don't exist that definitely exists okay number six on the list

Finland some people think Finland don't exist doesn't exist claims and they claim it as a made up zone created to disguise Japanese fishing rights. Finland, the bit on the map. I know people that have been. Have you, have they, do you? Yeah. People are a bit loopy, eh?

Yeah dude, wait, because there's more. Okay. This is... Number five on the list of the top six other things that people think don't exist, that definitely exists. Snow. People believe snow is fake, it's made by the government, and this has been popularized by viral videos

of people burning snow with lighters. Because they light it and it burns, but that's just melting, isn't it? This flat earth is, isn't it? Yeah. I don't even get onto the flat earth on this, by the way, this list, I've got six that don't even include it. Remember when we went to Queenstown last year

for my birthday, and that's what it was for, to celebrate May, even though you forgot in the morning, and it snowed from the sky, we saw it. Oh my God, it was beautiful. It was beautiful, we were up at Kadrona. Yeah, it was gorgeous. Lovely. We should do that again, that was lovely.

How did the government get up so high? Oh, I twist my arm. Yeah, how did the government, oh the government. To sprinkle it on us. Yeah, they just control everything. They got machines. Number four on the list of the top six things that don't exist, but do exist. Reality.

Apparently reality ended in 2012. Oh yeah. Some think we were all placed into a simulation or an alternative timeline since the Mayan calendar ended. We got fun. Fun though. Mayan, Mayan. I love people that are sure the end of the world's happening and they're like guys next week and then it Doesn't happen. They're like, well, I was out of line And it's coming next year. Yeah, sure. The polls have moved. The polls moved

Number three on the list of the top six other things that don't exist but do exist Avril Lavigne and Paul McCartney. Well, that's right. They think Avril Lavigne's been dead for ages. They think Avril Lavigne died and was replaced. And it's just like the internet really got sunk their teeth into that one. You might be thinking, well, that's the problem with the internet. But this has been happening since the 1960s to Paul McCartney as people believe Paul McCartney died and was replaced with a lookalike. Wild ape. people are nuts. People are nuts. People need to get a job and a hobby. They need hobbies. Yeah, they do need hobbies. But on that one I haven't seen Avril or Paul in the flesh, so I'm going to stand back and not comment.

Okay, don't knock it until you've tried it sort of situation. Number two on the list of the top six other things that don't exist that definitely exist birds People believe birds are government drones for spying on us real birds went extinct because we did something to the ear Yeah, and I were replaced with government drone but wasn't that um a funny Yeah, and it's aren't real or whatever. I started the Instagram account It was so deeply taken the person who actually thought he was one of them But yeah that he got that idea from somewhere And I'm one on the list of the top six things that don't exist but do exist but maybe doesn't time It's a flat illusion. This is a popular belief among spiritual influences some quantum woo wooists. Okay

That's how they were described on the internet Time I mean. But it's ageing me. Yeah, but that's more you than time. Is it? But we need time as a construct, man. Wow. Unplug the internet.

Unplug it right now. That's today's top secret. Play ZM's Fletch-Born and Hayley. We talked about this maybe last week or the week before, that on average Kiwi weddings are costing around $87,000. That's crazy, isn't it? Oh, that hurts me. It's leaving my money.

$87,000, people are obviously trying to find creative ways to cut costs if they insist on having a wedding. Yeah, love is alive, Hayley. Love is alive. Love is alive. Love is alive. Love is alive. Love is in the air. There's excitement going around. I jump to the second verse.

Yeah, everywhere I look around. I really apologise. Love is in the air. Need to get in the sink. Fletch. Every sight and every sound. No, I'm not doing your stupid song. And I don't know.

So they picked, this is from RNZ, they picked five. Sorry, Mara Degrees. Please do. I'm gonna start a notes. It's gonna be a shared notes between the three of us of karaoke songs. Cause you know whenever you get to karaoke, you always forget what song you wanted to sing.

You know I don't do karaoke. We'll see. It's the stupidest shit ever. We'll see. Love is in the air. It's because I can't sing. Come'll see. Love is in the air. It's because I can't sing. Come on, you're telling me you're not getting up?

Yes you can. Hailey loves singing. She loves karaoke. I've heard you say. You've got to come and sing so that there's somebody else that she can get in the air of and be like, you're not in the right note. I just nag you the whole way through your performance. You have to be very drunk to do that.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I can help with that. Anyway, five couples were asked what did they splurge on, who were trying to keep their budgets down to not 87,000. What did they splurge on and what did they save on? So one couple, Mackenzie and Blair, their budget was $20,000, which still a lot of money, but if you're looking at 87, it's not bad.

The splurge was the custom two-in-one wedding dress. So a dress that converted from ceremony to reception. Oh, yep. So like long and a bit more formal. Or take off the skirt, and it's a short thing, you know? Savings, spread the wedding over two days, a ceremony and then a family pizza night and a casual reception. Dude, love that idea.

Really chill. Love that idea because then it breaks up, you do the ceremony, you have a glass of champagne, look at the photos, you leave, we're reconvening the next day, and then you don't have to keep it at the same level, you do the ceremony, you have a glass of champagne, look at the photos you leave, we're reconvening the next day, and then you don't have to keep it at the same level of fancy as the ceremony. Yeah, they used a place that you could have BYO

food and alcohol, they told their friends that it was an engagement party, but it was the wedding. I was just gonna say, I love when people do that, they go somewhere with just a couple of friends or family, they get married, and then it's just a big party. And you come back and you do a barbecue, totally. And then also when you're telling caterers and stuff, it's just a party.

Yeah, totally. It's not adding the wedding bonus tax of 30%. And with their food, they didn't do a sit down meal, they just did endless kind of snacks, canapes and love. Which is how I love to eat. Okay, here's one that has a $3,000 budget. The splurge was only on the photographers, which even then I'm like, that's not a splurge of $3,000 budget. The splurge was only on the photographers, which even then I'm like,

that's not a splurge of $3,000 was your thing. Eloped, planned it in two and a half days, and did a small dinner with just your immediate parents, like immediate family. Jodie and Ben, $4,000. They had a, their splurge was their flowers. Everything else was a tie the knot Thursday deal at a venue. So do it on a Thursday, you get like half price,

short two hour event and then just go home or go to the local pub. That's a great idea. $6,000 budget, Abigail and Joshua. The splurge was a choreographed dance lesson. Before that. And then they did a potluck reception in a church hall. RSVPs included the dish information

of what you're gonna bring, and a mocktail bar due to alcohol restrictions because you're in a little church hall. And the last one, I mean these are great. What do you mean alcohol restrictions in a church hall? They're guzzling wine and eating little wafers all the time? I'd go get the blood of Christ from the back. Yeah.

That would actually be a great cocktail, a mocktail or a cocktail called the blood of Christ. Yeah, blood of Christ. Just make it now. Cranberry. Red wine with crackers crumped into it. Dude, that sounds terrible. Yeah, and the last one's pretty similar.

Bought a dress from an outlet shop, which is genius. They did a tie the knot Thursday for 20 guests. No sit down meal, and the only splurge was the photographer to capture the moment. Gorgeous. It doesn't need to be $87,000. It's a lot of money. And divorce rates in New Zealand say that no matter how much you're going to spend on it,

it might not be worth it. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Haley. Fletch, Bourne and Haley, silly little pose, silly little pole It is so silly silly silly that silly little pole Silly little pole, silly little pole Silly little pole, silly little pole You probably have to turn the microphone so that it works, which... Yeah.

This is waiting. I thought that porn had gone quiet so I was like, well I'll jump in, then why is my mic wasn't on? Yeah, I turned my own microphone on. Is your job passion over pay? Do I have to do everything? Wait, I'm sorry, I would like an on-air apology. Yeah.

Because he made us look like dicks. Do I have to do everything around here? No, but that bit is your job. You don't have to do it. That bit is your bit. No, you've literally got a button for your own microphone. You're not allowed to do it any other time.

You're allowed to. I mean, if you don't want to take responsibility for your actions. Look at this guy, you take responsibility. Today's Silly Little Poll. Oh, now he's stealing your bit. He wants to do it all except turn on the microphones. Is your job passion over pay?

This is where you love your job, so the pay is nice, but it's not, you know. Yeah. It's not the most important. It's your main driver. Like meaningful work to give you some, you know, meaning. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, shout out to the nurses

who are constantly needing to be paid more and you're there because you are passionate about caring for people. Yeah. I've also been thinking more about my proposal that nurses should get the same holidays as teachers. Yeah. Okay. There should be more.

Yeah. Yeah, it hurts. I agree. If you can't pay them more, there's gotta be more people. Just pay them more. Yeah, totally. There should be more. Yeah. Yeah. If you can't pay them more, there's gotta be more. Just pay them more. Yeah, totally. Just pay them more. And more pizza parties, you know, because nothing would say, oh man, we appreciate you, like coming in from dealing with someone who's just died covered in blood and being offered to meat lovers from the cheapest place that was selling pizza that day. From the $5 double deals. Yeah. With a really thick base and um... Yeah, super doughy. Yeah. Mostly dough base and- Super doughy, mostly dough. Really processed meat.

We're very lucky to have jobs that we're passionate about. I love it. You know, we're fun and it brings you fulfilment. Hard though still. I just said I love my job out loud. That doesn't sit well with me. How's that sitting in your belly? Yeah, wow.

But maybe our truth comes out, eh? I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it. Yeah, God, yeah. And I know there's people out there that are just making ends meet and doing what needs to be done. Is your job passion overpay? 59% of people said no.

41% said yes. That's pretty cool, though. That's not bad. Not bad. That's not bad. That's not bad. I'm incredibly fortunate to get paid the big bucks while doing something I I love says newbs

That's your entirety. It's all rocks. That's all it is.

I think you got in deep there with this qualification if you didn't like rocks. Dude, at what point were you like, I don't like rocks. I wanna fly and fly out to the Arctic. Simon, oh my God, how embarrassing. I had to tell someone the other day that Santa doesn't live in Antarctica. The South Pole.

Yeah. And he was like, where does he live? And I was like, the Arctic Circle. How old was this person that didn't know that Santa... 35. Okay. I honestly... I mean, you can see why they thought that.

Santa's at the top. What is Santa's in New Zealand? Yeah, North Pole. Santa's at the top, the penguins and all that, and Scott Bacer at the bottom. Yeah. No polar bears down the bottom, no penguins up top. Yeah. Those are just the rules. And Santa's up top.

Penguins bottom. Beers on top. That's right. Okay. Yeah. And Santa's kind of like the bear. No, there's no penguins. Right? No, I was meaning in the gay world, is penguin a descriptive? Oh no, yeah, there is. There is. There is.

No, otters. No, there are penguins. There is. There is. Seals, no otters. No, there are penguins. It's twinks that rock around in tuxedos the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also raise a baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna be with you for life. Twinks and tuxes with a baby.

Okay, I wanna know more about why you hate rocks. LH says, as a teacher, there's no other way you'd stay in the profession if it wasn't for passion. That's good to hear. Those are good teachers. Changing lives, raising our children. Laura, I took a $20,000 pay cut for my dream job. Zero regrets, love my job.

You hear about it? People that step out of the big paying city job and just move to a region and get a job that pays less, but they love it. But they love it? They love the lifestyle. Why wouldn't you? Yeah. The really slow traffic.

Yeah. All the shops and supermarkets shutting super early. Yeah, that's the good stuff. The local bakery. Yep. Yeah. Does a good sausage roll. You know, and then a house down the road exploding

because it was a meth lab all along. Yeah, but your house only cost you $400,000. Yeah, dude, and it's nice. And it is way better than ours. St, dude, and it's nice. And it's, and it is way better than ours. Stacey said, took a pay cut from insurance to become a funeral director. And absolutely you could not pay me enough to go back. I absolutely love the work I do now. See that's a caring person that like looks after people in their like, you know, saddest, darkest moments of their life. That's so nice. Bronwyn, our ED nurse, we hear from her every now and then.

Bronwyn, Bronwyn, Bronwyn in the ED. Has she watched the pit? I still haven't finished the pit. On neon, god it's good. My iPad's so old, it won't update to the new neon app, so I can't watch anything on neon anymore. Just buy a new iPad. Just get a new iPad.

I'm trying. ED nurse, lost count of how many times I've been called a bitch, been hit or kicked or spat at. Pretty cool work stories though. If I hear anybody touch Bronwyn in any non-supportive way, I'm gonna break their legs and then they'll have to go back to Bronwyn. And if they do it again, I'll break their arms

and they're gonna have to go back to Bronwyn. Yeah, they will. I will wheel them in there. Danielle said, I'm a flight attendant, love aviation and enjoy my job, but I work bloody hard and get paid sweet F4 considering what I have to deal with on the daily. Yeah we've all been on a plane. And those pilots too. They think they're so cool. They do look cool though don't they? They look cool man, the hats and the shirts and the badge.

Lawyer here, I got into this profession partly for the money but I'm genuinely enjoying what I do. And that's saying something considering the pay isn't great when you're just starting out like me. And the reading. Yeah, you do hear that the pay starting out is terrible. All my friends that studied law, I was like, you're gonna get the big bucks.

And I was like, you're when you're 60. Nikki said, my passion has been paid and I'm currently not ticking either. I hate my job and the pay is shit. What am I supposed to vote? Said Logan. Sorry. Logan? You know, maybe this has just been the eye opener Logan needs.

Yeah. Get out there Logan. Carpe, Carpe Dam. Carpe the Dam. Carpe Logan. Carpe the Logan. I'd say there'd be a lot of people in Logan's boat though. Seize the carpe.

Marissa says, the police don't pay well enough for me to be in it for the money. I'm just lucky I work with great people who make the job. Yeah. And you get to fly guns sometimes. Us too, us too. Every now and then you get to taste someone. You know sometimes when there's like a big, you know, like emergency, they get out the big guns.

Oh, that's, they're, they're. The ones where you gotta have two hands? They're so hot, they look so hot with the big guns. And like, why do they taper the shirt arms like that? But I'm not mad, you know what I mean? Yeah. Do you give your direct bicep measurements and then they tailor them?

A little shorter than your bicep. Tighten it up. And then you go to the gym and just primarily work the biceps. And then it's too tight. Yeah, it's hot stuff. Oh no, look what we've got. The threads are ripping. Hey, oh!

That's a little pole. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. As you know, I went a bit crazy with the last New World promotion, collecting stickers and getting the, Sistema, no they were KitchenAid. Oh yeah, they were good. Containers.

Yeah, they were good. They were so good and I used them all the time. But nothing beats the smeg knife thing. No, but we all also ended up in hospital because I was so sharp. Yeah. You've had yours for like two years, three years. Four years?

Not as sharp as they were when I first got them. But I kind of like, I like semi blunt knives because I'm always cutting myself. Yeah, me too. You need one. Semi blunt knives, wasn't that that song from the late nineties? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Semi blunt kind of knives. Life, baby. Baby. Semi bluntblonde kind of knife baby. Semi-blonde kind of knife. I want something else. To cut these carrots. Semi-blonde kind of knife baby. Work in progress. Yeah yeah and then we had the cookware we had the I think it was Kitchen Aid cookware. And then of course don think it was KitchenAid cookware. And then of course, don't forget, at the same time,

I'm sure Countdown's gonna come out any day once they hear about this with their, I don't know, toy for a child? Toy for a child? I know, there's, yeah. Yeah, they'll go kids, I reckon, New York's gone high, they'll go low. They did the Minecraft-esque,

and they've done the Lego-esque blocks in the past. Right. Well, prepare for me to lose my absolute shy and be buying Shannon's stamps off of her again. Oh, not this again, not this again. And to have listeners sending in their stamps to me. Cause Shannon, I need to know the price on a sticker. I'm thinking this year, you know, inflation is tough.

Oh my God. And like, you know, I'm thinking like $15 a sticker is my starting rate. Oh, you're dreaming. She's dreaming. That's what you pay at New World to get a sticker. Anyway, they've announced their new thing. It's Smeg Kitchen Wear, like your ceramic,

like your beautiful dishes, oven dishes, utensil pots. The one that Vaughan and I are particularly excited about is the utensil rest. And what, yeah. You put a spoon, a saucy spoon in it. Making a spaghetti, making a spaghetti. Yeah. You got a little bit of goopy on the spoon.

You can't balance on the side of the pot, it's gonna drip. You then lay the messy head. Cause you know I love my stir fry goop packets. This will be perfect for you. Mini cockots, mini cockots, which is like you'd do a souffle in it, like a small baking dish. You tend to put cast iron braiser,

I mean that's gonna be one of your top ones, and then a large baker. That's a Club Card exclusive. Yeah, by the way, that's Club Card exclusive. Oh, is it? Club Card exclusive. I want them all. I don't need them all.

I've got baking dishes. I want them all. I want them all. My baking dishes are from K-Mart. I want them all. I don't need them all. I've got baking dishes. I want them all. I want them all. My baking dishes are from Kmart. I want them all. No. That's because when you said that for a little bit like a Trump and I just felt like that was a Trump sentence.

I want them all. I think you need to be practicing harder. It's getting worse. It's getting worse. I haven't practiced for days. Yeah. Get back in the car. My kids asked me what I was doing when I was practicing by myself.

It's embarrassing to say I'm practicing my Trump impersonation. Yeah, yeah, and then Indy's friend was like, is that Donald Trump? And I was like, I like you, you can come back. Yeah. Anyway, I want that, I like that I just, I just, I get so hooked on this. And people become obsessive and then they sell out

and you're like, I've got to drive to East Auckland to this one supermarket that has one dish left. I mean, I don't think it's the level of the knives. Like, I don't think we'll ever have a Frenzy in New Zealand like that again. I don't think we'll ever meet those lofty hunkers again. Unless they do knives again, the speg knives. Or like, yeah, different brand knives. Our Australian listeners might know what Woolies has got planned,

because they're a couple of steps ahead with that sort of stuff. Woolworths, what do you call it, Collectibles? Oh, okay, Woolworths collectibles 2025? No, that's the Minecraft one from earlier in the year. They're gonna wanna pull something out of their Jacksy. I'll tell you that much. Yeah, they're gonna have to, this is a goodie. This is a goodie.

This could be a top six for you tomorrow, actually. Top six ways for Wally to counter. Hey, that's a great idea. The ceramics. Lock it in. Look at me just planning tomorrow's show. Oh, it's cause we're going out tonight. And so he wants to get tomorrow all sorted.

So we don't have to worry about it. Don't out the door baby. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. We saw a very funny video and we need to address that and I'm already laughing. Okay, we saw a video that made us think of an idea for a phone of when you've had a medical false alarm because there was a Kiwi who shared on TikTok his experience of what he thought was a mole that he needed to get checked out. I find myself laying face down ass up in this man's office and he didn't really know how to approach my bum and I decided to say

would you like me to spread my cheeks he said that would be good actually I now have my hands glued to my butt cheeks spreading them apart shoving my back door in this man's face he gets his little microscope he has a look around and then he sets the, I'll never forget it. You don't have a mole there. And now Daniel, who is a Kiwi living in London and is on the phone with us. Daniel. That was so awful to listen to again. So awful.

Daniel. I had my hand over my mouth. I was like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Daniel, we need to know what was the mole that you thought you had between your cheeks. I haven't tried to look again because I'm too scarred from the whole experience. I haven't looked there again. I still hope it's a mole that he didn't see because the alternative is something like- Daniel, there's a high chance it was a little bit of poos. Daniel, it was a little bit of poos. It was a little bit of poos.

No, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes. And then they've gone dry and you're like tapping it and you're like, oh, that feels, that does cancerous. Daniel, I think you might have had a small little bit of poos left between your cheeks. We've all been there, we've all been there. Guys, I'm jet lagged right now. This is horrible.

I will say, Daniel, you did post this on TikTok. So you... I did. You have to... And then escaped the country immediately. You literally extradited yourself. Right away on a plane. No Wi-Fi. I had to run. Yeah. Oh my God. And so he's like, look, it's not a mole.

Yeah. Wow. There's nothing there. I mean, look, it's not a mole. Did you? Yeah. Wow. I mean, thank you for sharing, because I would have wanted to die with a secret. I would have wanted to die with a secret. Yeah. I've seen a lot of comments of people saying like, God, like there's nothing you could do to get this information out of me. And I thought, great. Like, and it was a moment of like second guessing.

I thought someone was going to do it. Hey, it made us all laugh a lot this morning. Oh mate Daniel, we have just been having such a chuckle about this and also the aggressive nature of like re-spreading the cheeks to be like look at that. I was way too confident in that room like I had just met that man and I was like doing everything I was doing the most. I shouldn't have. Actually no you know what I stand by what I did because if you should be getting your moles checked and like if you have something there, they could be in some really awful areas. Absolutely, and hey, if it's a little fleck of poo.

Yeah, maybe run your moles underwater first. Maybe run the moles underwater to see that they don't dissolve. I hate, oh my god, I can't believe this. Okay, I know. Daniel, Daniel! Daniel, would you consider adding a wet wipe to the bathroom sort of schedule? I'm about to be the cleanest squeaky

We don't know if it was poo. We don't know. It was poo. Daniel, we don't know. These things don't just fall off. It could have been a pep. It could have been a pep. A dry pep. A passion fruit pep. The dry pep. Oh, it could have been a pep. It could have been a pep. Passion fruit pep. The moment this call is over, I am rechecking.

You guys are... I will get you... I mean, I'm finally ready. I'm finally ready. I feel like you're either gonna get a bidet or like some wipes. Don't flush those wipes, that's all I'll say. Those have to be flushed, they need their own bin.

Yeah, I know. I'll go to the toilet, yeah. Daniel, thank you for sharing. If you do, hey, if you find a mole, please let us know. Do reach out. I won't send a photo, but I will let you know. No, no, we're good, we're good. I don't know if, Daniel, I assume what are you gonna do,

spread it and back up to a mirror and look down between your own legs at your asshole? Yeah, so it was either that or like, either that or like, timer, and then just get myself in like the perfect position while it's like on timer on the floor. Yeah, I've done that before. Is it your first time doing that Daniel? You sound somewhat experienced in squatting over a timer. Everyone should be looking at their junkie rinse, you'll be squatting over a timer.

There were definitely comments questioning as to like how I knew and like let's just, yeah, another health related issue. Sometimes you just need a camera in places you can't see. Yeah. Yes you do, you're right, you're right. Yeah. The more we know our bodies, the better. Sometimes you just need a camera in places you can't see. Yeah. Yes you do. You're right. You're right. The more we know our bodies, the better. Well, we're glad that it was a medical false alarm for you.

And this is what we do on the show when something embarrassing happens to us. We open the phone lines and then we share other people's stories of when you had a medical false alarm. Like it wasn't a mole, it was a pip. It was a pip. Or a pip. Or as someone texted in, Daniel could have been a heavy freckle.

You know? So, as a doctor would have seen. I am a freckly person. So like, it could have been a freckle. I think you need to get over it. It could have like, aided over the summer months. Okay, nice. You need to get yourself over that camera, babes.

You need to put it on South China Goodluck. They don't fade over snow. It was a bit of a... Daniel, thank you. Oh, I know he's like, the doctor with the eye thing. Daniel, the doctor with the eye thing couldn't see it. You're like, I'm going to squat over my camera. I'm never seeing him ever again.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm like, I'm meeting that man. You can't come back to New Zealand. That's it. Oh, Daniel, I like that. You're funny. 0800DIALZR, we want you to call us now. TXTER9696. When did you have a medical false alarm? You thought you were dying, you thought something was wrong,

you went to the doctor or the hospital and they said, oh no, actually that's um. You thought it was a rash and it turns out you just sort of spilled a bit of food colouring on yourself. Jelly crystals. Your jelly crystals. The rash is very raised, it's got its own texture. Did you lean on jelly crystals?

I was making raspberry jelly. Were you going with appendicitis, you just on jelly crystals? I was making raspberry jelly. Were you going with a pen to ciders, you just needed to fart? Well that's happened before. That's happened before, trapped gas. It literally happened to me when I was a kid. Yeah, okay. I'm dying.

Whatever it is, 0800 DILES.M, give us a call now, text through 9696. When did you have a medical false alarm? I've said it once. Yeah. I'll happily go on record saying it again. We've got the best listeners in the world. Oh we again. We've got the best listeners in the business. Oh my god.

We've got the best listeners in the business. And they have the best story. Best in the business! No, terrible try. No, terrible. Best in the business. Terrific storytellers. Oh, do you know who's going to be loving this?

Sophie. Sophie who doesn't know how to use the phone as well as the phone is. A funny TikTok that we saw this morning and we just spoke to him. A Kiwi that's living in London now. Yeah, went to the doctor to get a mole check between his cheeks, on the table, spreading his cheeks, look, look, look. Doctor's like, dude, there is not a mole there.

Yeah, turns out it wasn't. And we can only assume it's probably a flick of poops or a pap. Or a pap. Well, Daniel doesn't want to talk about it anymore. But we're trying to make him feel better. Surprisingly, because he did post it on TikTok for the world to see.

He did. It's quite confronting when the world notices your TikTok. Yeah, yeah, indeed. So when did you have a medical emergency? You thought something was wrong, but it wasn't. When do you want me to read the text of the week? I've already, I'm not even consulting you both.

I've got a text that will make you cry. Okay, Vaughan's packed the text. End of the show. End of the break. End of the final? Yep. Okay. I found a lump in my armpit and I was just like,

boom, they're on the phone, anonymous. You found a lump in your armpit. Oh, yep, hi. That was me. Oh my goodness, what happened? That's not a good, that's not good. A little bit of a hypochondriac and I took myself to the doctor

and she diligently had a look and it turned out it was an ingrow in here. And so then she plucked it out. Oh, that would have been satisfying. What happened when she plucked it out? Was there some drainage? Did it drain out some? No, no, it was very minor.

I just wanted to kind of wander the ground, open me up really. And one of us, I did the same thing with a lump on my downstairs lady area and I was like swab it, swab it for this and swab it for that and it's gotta be this and she was like I can see the hair in it would you like me to get it out? I was like it's her piece! She was like no. Screaming at her piece in a doctor is so good. She got the tweezers, did the same thing, pulled it out, was like fixed. Yeah yeah. Wow okay. More messages in. So many. I thought my bum was falling out. Oh like a prolapse. Prolapse. Prolapse, theyness. I thought my bum was falling out. You've had a chicken with one of those haven't you? I have the prolapse

cloaca slightly different but same vibe. Except you put the chicken down. I don't think you put a person down for a prolapse theyness. This is an operation. Also you try squeezing out a number seven egg. Every day. Oh I would have produced my double yoke. I thought my bum was falling out as the first time I was pregnant and it turned out to be hemorrhoids, knowledge is power people. They don't teach you about the hemorrhoids being a side effect of pregnancy. This is so good, I went to the dentist thinking my gum was rotting away only to find out there was just a piece of meat stuck between my teeth. I paid $50 for the dentist to block it. Oh, a bit of a,

oh, sweetie hon, that's what we call flossing. Yeah, that's my ugly little. That's what we floss. Always said if something bad was happening to me, I'd try everything at home before I went to a doctor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like if I lost something in a cavity, for example. Yeah. Yes. I'd be taking laxatives, I'd be getting that thing out,

get some barbecue tongs, the ones with rubber ends. I just would not go to a doctor for that. Would you ask our friend Dr. Shawnee if you had a medical misadventure? No, no, no, no. Yes, I ask him every time. No, to fish something out? Yeah.

Really? Okay. Oh my God, this is so good. I wonder if he'd help us. I once felt a lump on my foot, it felt sticky and wet and didn't look good. I went to the hospital and then the doctor looked at it, it was a bracelet bead stuck on my foot with sellotape and sweat.

Oh my god. That's so good. Oh my god, there's a lump. I had a growth on my face so I did the right thing and went to a dermatologist. They said it could be cancerous and did a scrape and send it off for tests. Turns out, luckily for me, it wasn't cancerous at all. It was a seed that had become stuck to my face. A seed! A pep! How did the doctor scrape off a pep? You notice a pep right? That's from a dragon

fruit. Yeah you know your pips. Went to get a lump in my lower belly checked out the doctor was like, babes, that's fat. Oh my god. Saw lumps all over the back of my tongue. Must have been the first time I'd ever poked my tongue out of the mirror. When the student in health crying, saying I've got tongue cancer, they couldn't hide their laughter when they said, Darl, that's your taste buds. It's your taste buds.

I know they are funny right at the back, aren't you? Yeah. Oh my god, these are making me laugh. Thought I had appendicitis, I was in so much pain. I went to the school nurse, the school nurse is like, oh the symptoms match up. Went to a doctor and the doctor said,

drink this and he gave me a drink and then pushed on a specific part of my body and I farted for 34 seconds. Oh my god, imagine how good that would feel. Like 10 seconds in, you'd just be like, still going and the doctor's just pushing, and eyeball, I like imagining he's maintaining eye contact, because you're just ripping.

I didn't know that was a service, because you know I get IBS and my stomach just gets huge, and I just want someone to fart me. Yes! That's the hottest thing you've ever said. I know, text me 9696 if you think I'm hot. Oh, these are amazing. Thought I had blood in my poos, because the water in the toilet went red.

Called a medical friend crying. They said, what have you eaten lately? I said beetroot and they hung up on me. Yep, that'll do it. Every day I wake up thinking I've had an allergic reaction to something and then I'm like, no, I'm in my 30s now I'm fat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not an allergic reaction.

My stomach's bloating. No, it just doesn't go down anymore. When I was younger living in the UK, extreme pain. No, it just doesn't go down anymore. When I was younger, living in the UK, extreme pain, couldn't walk, fell off the toilet, screaming, originally thought it was a burst of Pneumix, just needed a massive fart. Yeah.

That's brilliant. It's so good. A friend of mine thought she was really drunk and she was screaming, she was having a meltdown. She thought that she had meningitis and the meningococcal rash that comes with it just before you die. Oh, okay, yeah.

It turns out earlier in the night, she'd leant on a black colored drink and it had dried to her arm. Pfft. And when we got to the A&E, they literally wiped it off with a wet rag. They wiped it off with a wet rag! Now, we're gonna end with the text of the week.

Dude, there's so many! There's so many. Do we have facilities for an overflow today? We could do an overflow podcast because it's hilarious. Yeah. Text of the Week. Use the full word.

It is, thanks to Animates, making happy happen for pets, this text has won a $50 Animates voucher. Just gonna get that out of the way now, because I feel like we're just gonna punch out. And create a bit of distance. I think we're gonna have a laugh. We're all gonna have a laugh. Everyone listening's gonna have a laugh.

Okay, okay. And then you just punch to the song when you feel the gonna have a laugh. We're all gonna have a laugh. Everyone listening's gonna have a laugh. Okay, okay. And then you just punch to the song when you feel the laughter as a whole. I think this is better than the original story with the pip on the ass. Way better. Yeah, we've actually taken the heat off of Daniel. When I was at uni, I got a doctor to check out my fufu because I had found a lump on it. Good, smart move.

It turns out I just finally discovered my clitoris. Pffft. It is a lump. And the doctor just like, oh, this part? And she's like, yes. Yes. Yesterday producers Shannon and Carwin, as we know,

the team Swifties made a wild call. They'd done the math. they'd worked it all out. It's the 26th of May in America. It's the 26th of this and that. Taylor Swift was wearing lace-up boots with 26 holes. 26 is two times 13, and 13 is her favourite number. There's two names, things and a name. Yeah.

They promised us. Their reputation, Taylor's version. To be honest, I'm pleased they're focusing their conspiratorial powers on this sort of thing rather than vaccines. Jean-Bernier Ramsey is 5G. 5G tower. I mean, we almost lost Shannon to the fact

that Jean-Bernier Ramsey is Katy Perry. Yeah, and also you did mention Avril Lavigne earlier and I do have some thoughts. Okay. She's been replaced. But listen, you guys, you posed to us, both also you did mention Avril Lavigne earlier and I do have some thoughts. She's been replaced. But listen, you guys, you posed to us both of you your argument for the fact that Taylor Swift today was going to be dropping reputation, your favourite album, Taylor's version. Let's have a replay of that conversation. There's a bunch of things, but basically we believe that Taylor Swift's We the people.

reputation Taylor's version will be announced or released today. Because it is the 26th today in America. In America, yeah. Okay, so if it's not, tomorrow I'm going to replay this entire break to you and you can see how crazy you sound. Mate, you're just sort of holding up in the room. If it does happen, we can replay the break and be like, look at all this Nostradamus stuff.

They knew, they knew, they knew. That's how it works. You say this as if we don't do this every couple months. We're used to the constantly clowning. Should we say, okay, it's us versus producers, loser buys coffees tomorrow. Sure, yeah. What happened overnight?

Sweet air fall. Mocaccino? I'll have a Mocaccino, it's a grown man's coffee but also a hint of chocolate. It's a hint of baby. I find when you have to justify it, you're telling your own story. I'm gonna go iced oat milk latte please.

And I'm gonna go iced Americano because I'm just a little bit in touch with the gays. I mean, I just feel like, as the kind, generous, lovely humans you are, nice people on the radio, instead you should just be buying us coffees because we're so sad. We wanted this so badly.

No, no, no, the deal was cut. The deal was cut. You were wrong. We were right. Buy us coffees now. Do you know what sucks as well? She didn't even show up. Yeah.

She didn't show up to the AMA Awards and didn't win any of the six awards she was nominated for. My theory is that she was sore over clowning. Here's another theory. Here's another theory. We'll be playing this tomorrow at eight o'clock. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley.

Well, yesterday at the end of the show, you surprised me with a revelation. This rocked me because I'm very good at booking flights and accommodation. I'm the organised one of us. Yeah, well that's why I got you to do it. Yep. Like you-

I'm great at finding deals. Great at finding deals. Great at booking flights. I always get anxious. I always book the wrong way, wrong date, wrong this, wrong that. You're going to Melbourne this weekend, I'm going to Melbourne this weekend,

you're like, I'm gonna get you on this flight. Go on the thing, and then yesterday, I was like, I don't have the Qantas app, so I went to do it, put in the booking reference, put in my last name, nothing, nothing, nothing. I was like, I've had the email. I've had it, I've had it, I've had it. Went back into the email where I discovered

that you had spelt my name, Hayley Jane Spool. No R in Sproul. I left the R. And if I hadn't have noticed that. I think my R on the keyboard's sticky. You got a sticky R. Got a sticky R, do you? Yeah.

Well, I think if I hadn't have noticed that, then I would have gone and my passport wouldn't have matched my ticket. And I know it's a world of a pain. And then what would have happened? Because I saw people commenting, we put the video up yesterday. I saw people commenting that this has happened to them and they're dealing with it at the airport. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, please, it's a mistake. Which could have happened. Which and people apparently were getting it fixed at the airport. But I rang yesterday after the show. I mean, we did have plans to record some podcasts, but this just had to happen. And I think after about 25 minutes, some great Australian accents.

So he was going- Who you were doing it. Because when you pour up- Oh, you popped out to get your porridge. And then it was an automated, like, if you know your booking reference number, please say it after the tone. And it's, you've got to say it. Yeah then it was an automated like, if you know your booking reference number, please say it after the tone. You've got to say it.

Seven. Yeah, it was a six. It was a six. Six. It was like five. Six. Five. Six.

Six. Ten. Ten. T. And Hailey was laughing at me and then the system was like, we don't understand you. Say it again. So then he was like, four, six, two. He gave a really good performance.

And that one worked. Yeah, that one worked. I took a video of it, but you have my reference number and someone will probably send something stupid to my. Or send you right down the back. That would be funny. In the middle, send you down the back in the middle. But yeah, and the guy changed it.

I did have to say that Hailey was my partner. Ooh, ooh, I know. I felt that. I felt yuck when I said it. I was like. It was like, what is your relationship to the passenger? Partner. He sort of choked on it.

And the guy, I'm surprised the guy didn't say it's weird she's sitting like halfway down the plane behind you. Yeah, I don't actually like you that much. Why have you put your partner in such a terrible seat? Because I got a good seat and she booked too late and got a bad seat. I'm not sitting down there. No, well now we have to keep up the ruse because they're going to keep an eye on us. So we have to walk hand on hand, hand in hand onto that plane.

Smurchin'. Little smurches. Smurching because you're in different seats. Try for upgrades. Say that we're engaged. And I'll hold my lower belly. That kind of stuff. But it was an absolute rookie era from a veteran booker.

Yeah, it actually was. A veteran travel booker. I'll say it. And the reason I get you to do it is because I cock up bookings all the time. Like I'd always go wrong direction. I've caught an Uber to the wrong airport in France. Oh, because that happens in Bangkok, eh? Yes, there's two airports there.

But there's two airports and people go to the wrong one. Lots of cities have two airports. And you fly into the one you think you are, and you can't pick you up from the other one. You're like, oh my God, I don't know. So this is what we want to know this morning. I went to Hunter at Dals at M, 9696, when did you make a booking, whoopsie?

And how bad was it? Was it a completely different year, a completely different month? You turn up to the airport and they're like, sorry, sorry ma'am, you're booked for next month. That would just, oh my God. That's why I love the apps, like I use TripIt for the itineraries,

because when you make an itinerary, it puts everything in order so you can look through and see that you've got the right dates and everything matches. Already getting messages in, 0800DIALZM, some of these, quite shocking. You can text through 9696. When did you make a booking, whoopsie.

We'll get to those next. Cletch booked some flights for me, miss spout my surname from Sproul to Spool, and we got it fixed. We got it fixed. And do you know, I was waiting for him to be like, that'll be $125. I know we didn't, it was in the end,

it was like anything else. And it was free, it was free, they just did it, Qantas did it for free, thank to be like, that'll be $125. I know it was in the end, it was like anything else. And it was free, it was free. They just did it, Qantas did it for free, thank you. Yeah, thank you, thank you. But we wanna know what was your booking whoopsie that you made and how bad was it? Cause some people are not getting away with their mistakes. I mean, you can't, right?

If you booked the wrong day for a flight, they're not just gonna be like, sure, get on this flight. No, it's a new one. I read a really funny one before about a miss my mum once messed up her flight booking ticket was printed as Mrs. Air New Zealand we were laughing means she got removed from the flight for flying under a pseudonym. What? Yeah. What? Wow aye. Zoe, this was mum that messed up the booking. What did she mess up? Mum somehow managed to book a flight to Auckland

for 2024 and flying home a year later in 2025. Oh, that's gonna be an upstate. That's gonna cost her a fortune. How long do they open book bookings? I thought it was only like sometimes nine to twelve months But yeah, yeah, that's crazy. And did they You know when you're booking a flight and you select the day you want to fly out and then the day you want to Fly home and it highlights how many days you can abort. Yeah way. I just would have highlighted

And today with at the airport were they like, oh let's just get this poor love on the flight today? Or were they just like, book a new flight? Yeah, book a new flight and chuck up your credit card so that we can charge you a stupid amount in your flight home and then, hey, you've got a return ticket for next year. Perfect. Fantastic.

That's fine, perfect. Zoe, thank you. Theora. Yes. What was your your booking whoopsie? So me and my mum were travelling to Melbourne for my nephew's christening. And right up to the time that we were getting to the checkout, the lady had stopped us. She put my ticket right through, no problem. And then just at the last second she's like, sorry, ma'am, we can't leave you on the plane to my mum. And I like what what do you mean like what's going on and so right at

the last week and she's like your passport expired two days ago yeah and so when we were after the lady like what can we do what's gonna go on she said to be honest would be able to leave, but you may not be able to come back. And we were like, oh, well, we're already going for the weekend, we can't have that. As much as mum would have loved it. So I had to get on the plane,

mum wouldn't let me stay back with her. She had to get an emergency passport. So from Auckland International Airport, she had to go all the way into the city to get a new photo done and the guy had to meet her from home. So he had to zoom into the city as well to do her passport for her. $786 later, she got her new passport and she got the next flight out 24 hours.

Exactly the same as the next day. And how good was the passport photo looking all flustered like you'd just rushed into the city? Wouldn't have been the best. It's pretty much. She's like at the last minute she's like can I just brush my hair? And she had a comb in her little fanny pack bag and she was like quickly brushing her hair out of her face and then she was all...

And I was sitting on the plane trying to text like can someone give me some Wi-Fi please? Like I need to know the updates of my mom. Wow. Your mom's passport photo looked a lot like someone on the international band Flying West. James, Yorra, thank you. So many messages and you're booking whoopsies. Some of these are extreme.

Yeah, and costing a lot of money. I somehow booked a flight in reverse. I booked my dad's flight from where we were going to where we were. The flight attendant swapped them over at no charge. Thank God, there's good people in the industry. Our groomsman misspelled his wife's name as Andre instead of Andrea on her flight.

It was so difficult to change multiple airlines. They ended up just officially changing her name to Andre, new passport and everything. Oh, right. I suppose if you have like a multi-trip thing, right, you're just like, oh, honestly. I booked a flight to Europe for me and my mum, put her down with her maiden name.

She's been married to my dad for 50 years. I have never even known her by her maiden name. What do they do that for? Yeah, that's weird. What do they do that for? We're hearing, I think this is a general sort of a PSA. Okay. If you're bringing home a Brazilian

and you go via Australia, they're gonna need a visa even for transit. Oh really? Cause they said they were coming home. And a yellow fever certificate maybe? Oh no, not in transit, but if you go to Australia after some countries, you need that. Oh really, you need yellow fever, yeah.

Yeah, so they said they didn't know going through, so there was tears at the airport and a lot of stress. That's wild for just a transit. Yeah. Coming home via the Gold Coast. You don't want to take your Brazilian boyfriend to the Gold Coast. What if they see like a Gold Coast meter maid? A meter maid.

God, you'd lose them forever. You'd lose them forever. Yeah. Hey, in Mexico, Day of Departure realised my hubby booked return flights for the following month so I used the credit from that flight to go away the following month alone. Oh. Wait, so they would have got their credit back, but then you had to have gone home, right? Yeah. Well, you're just like, well, you balls this up, so I'm going away. I'll stand for myself for a month. See? Will you go through that hard, tumultuous time? Yeah, if I have to. I'd do it. I'd do it. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you very much.

I booked a trip to Iceland for the wrong week, like cars, flights, hotel, everything was all off by seven days. This is why I say if you use TripIt, the app that collates all of you, you send all your booking itineraries to the email address and then you can see when you go through it if something's not right.

We arrived, the hotel was like, who's this? Spent night one with a man named Olafur who smelt like fish and played Bjork at full volume. Oh god. I'm not allowed to book holidays anymore. I was meant to go to Palmerston North but accidentally booked to New Plymouth. It wasn't until Air New Zealand sent me the text saying, get ready for your flight to New Plymouth that I realised. Oh no.

That happens. So many, being from New Plymouth, that I realised. Oh no. That happens. So many, being from New Plymouth, so many people do it, it's the PNMP. Yeah, the PNMP. My husband thought it would be funny to put Harry, instead of Harry, on our 18 year old son's ticket. It was not funny, as he was not allowed on the plane, because it didn't match his passport.

Not a funny joke. Oh my god, that's not funny. I went to book accommodation. Okay, so this is an accommodation one, but kind of fits. I went to book accommodation, and I just switched Westport. Book the accommodation, I was like, man, that's not funny. I went to book accommodation. Okay, so this is an accommodation one that kind of fits. I went to book accommodation and I just switched Westport. Book the accommodation and I was like, man, that looks nice.

Westport, Ireland. Oh, wow, they have a parcel in Westport? Somebody said, somebody else messaged me, it's the second day in a row while you've proved that a travel consultant or an agent is worth their weight in gold. You know, you could say you don't ever use travel agents because you don't use mistakes,

but we're literally talking about this below. Yeah, but if we did a phone in topic, oh, 800 dials at M Wins, a travel agent made a mistake, I guess we'd have a lot of those too. Oh, yeah. Another point from us, Renny. Wow. Coming from the industry.

Bold move from you. As they start to recover from COVID, bold move from you. I'm just saying we're all human and we make mistakes, don't we? We do. What, but you made one yesterday. Yeah, but just one. Play ZM's Fletch, Lawn and Hayley.

And we're gonna start with? French fries. No. Felt like the obvious one. It's a sitter. It's a sitter. What do they call French fries in France? I didn't even come up with my research. Just fries? I don't even know if I just called them fries.

Because the Belgians. They're called pommes frites. Because the French didn't even invent them. It's a wrongly attributed invention. It's a Belgian invention. Well see, you have got the facts. Well I know that part. I know it's a Belgian invention.

And what do they call French fries in France? You should have asked Chetjiebt, by the way, Googling things, it's so 2020 grand. No, they don't call them French fries in France. Yeah, but it uses AI. It uses AI. Not as good as Chetjiebt. Mmm, why don't you marry it?

Yeah, why don't you just dumb your brain? And French fries are called frites, or short for pommes frites, which literally means fried potatoes. I literally have to say frites but it's called pommes frites. And you are correct so if you're a French speaking person what fries you ask for? Des frites. Wait wait. You'll be understood immediately and probably get better fries than you're used to.

Oh that's a bold claim chat GPT to say the French do better French fries than all the other people? Well that's okay so you've learned that. Yep. Ta-da. Ta-da. Invented by the Belgians. Now let's talk about the Danish. Tada. Ta-da. Invented by the Belgians. Now let's talk about the Danish pastries. Delicious pastries. Having been to Copenhagen, amazing.

Do you know what they're called? Do they have good pastries there? Oh my god, insane. The bakeries are just next level. So good. You're next level. Thank you. That was nice of you to say so.

That's alright, I really love my friends. Pastries in Denmark are not called Danishes, they're known as Viennabrot. Viennabrot? Viennese bread. So I'm creating Vienna in Austria, rather than Denmark. They're like, no, no, no, no, you guys have it. And so everybody's calling them Danishes

and the Danish are playing a little koi. Oh yeah, but that's not us. Isn't us? Got it from the Austrians, to be totally honest with you. Really? So in Vienna, you might be thinking, what do Isn't us? Got it from the Austrians, to be totally honest with you. Really? So in Vienna, you might be thinking, what do they call them? What do they call a Vienna ice cream?

No, that's Viennese. Oh, that's a Viennese. Yeah, I've never been to Viennese. Where's Viennese? I don't know, in the freezer. Venetia. Venetia, that's Venice in Italian. I reckon Viennese are named after Veniceetta Venice and it tries to make it's just it's just it's got no like

attachment at all my guess is they just want to sound flash the first thing that's come up is streets Viennetta yeah yeah yeah dollars 50 why is that again you're googling you go to chat LGBT for this sort of stuff why is the streets Viennetta what's it named after? Called that. Is it named after Venice? Is it? Is, learn to type one, use your words.

Is this just a segment where people listen to us Google things? Google things, yeah. Yeah, yeah, should we call it less factor than, listen to us Google things? The name Vianetta, the dessert made by Streets and other brands under Unilever is inspired by Vienna, though not in direct or any historical traditional way. Okay. It was to evoke a sense of European sophistication and elegance and that does when it's made in a cardboard box.

When you get the cardboard box out. And you know as the thing slides under it the ice cream thing goes... To get those ribbons on top. The ripples. Yeah. So it's named after Vienna. Sorry, do that again just so I can see it. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, It's a log. It is a log. No, it's not. It's not a log. A log would indicate a roundness. It's not a cake. It's a slice. It's an ice cream slice. No, it's not a slice. It's ice cream. What is it?

It's a block. A block? It's a block of a viennetta. I block a viennetta. But is it a log? It's a block. It's a frozen cake. It's not a log.

It's not a cake. It's ice cream. Predominantly ice cream. What's in flaky bits? I mean, it can be a log. It's a pod. There's nothing to say the viennetta can't be a log. You'd have to shape it into a more circular fashion.

You'd have to round the edges. Yeah, you round the edges, which, which isn't it's a block. Well, they're calling it a cake No, they're idiots. You know, um sidebar dessert by sidebar if I may. Yep Sidebar of the sidebar with a slight digression if I may last night Indy made my daughter made perhaps the most delicious ice cream I've ever tasted because we were the ice cream maker. So we got one of them creamy ninja creamies. She froze milk. You're a ninja creamy. You're a creamy ninja creamy. Nothing creamy about my ninjas.

What? I hated that. Should have said the other way. Nothing ninja about my creamy. Okay. Not any better. She swigged condensed milk, milk and water at this. Water?

And mixed it. Oh and some vanilla extract. Then when it had frozen, she chucked in some frozen chocolate cookie dough, uncooked cookie dough. Oh yeah. And then where's the anrules? That's like Ben and Jerry's. Dude.

It was so yum. She nailed it. I was like, that's you. And she's like, I do ice cream jukes now. So that's her whole personality. Oh my God, I love it. Arrules though. Now back to what we were talking about.

In Denmark, a Danish is called vennebrod. Oh my God, someone's made a Milo Vianetta. Yeah, you could do that. Easy peasy, because of the chocolate on top. What do the Italians call Italian dressing? Dressing. Exactly, nothing. Okay.

Bottled Italian dressing does not exist. Italians use, they dress salads not as like, let's make a concoction, then put it on of olive oil, vinegar and salt. They kind of splash it on as it goes as raw ingredients and some garlic and some oregano and stuff. What do Russians call Russian dressing? Dressing. Dressing. Nothing! They don't have it. It doesn't even register. As a mayo. It's a trick question. So I didn't even know this, but Russian dressing is mayonnaise, ketchup and relish.

So it does a bit chunky, but it's got the mayo creamy and stuff. The Russians are just like, we've got nothing to do with this. Completely unknown, not part of, Fletch don't tell me to hurry up or I ring the bell. Completely unknown, not part of the Russian food culture. So today's fact of the day,

on things named after places that they're called somewhere different than they were called when you get there and they're not called that and you have to learn to ask for something else. Exactly. Is that people in Denmark don't call them Danish. They call them Vindelbrot. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

They've nailed it because you sliced the loaves! Yes! It's time for Wingly Tingly Wednesday. This is when we want you to share your Wingly Tingly feelings. The things that you can't explain, your ghost stories, your paranormal stories, your unexplainable occurrences. Always preface this by saying, always crack a window and let some fresh air into the house. Carbon dioxide and non-oxide really do a job

on the old brain, guys. You love these stories. I live for them. Now, Wingly Tingly Wednesday is timed up well. We've found a video on TikTok of a creepy child. There are like full documentaries about this, like kids that say things and you're like how could you possibly know that? How could you possibly know what the person was wearing the Titanic? Listen to this one. Daddy. Daddy's right there. Is it your daddy? No, it's your daddy. Her dad's dead. Is where? Daddy's right there. Is it your daddy? No, it's your daddy. Her dad's dead.

Is where? Daddy's right there. There's nothing in the video. Yeah, but what does he look like, kid? Yeah, more information. Show me. She's going over to the... She's pointing at just like a spot on the floor. He's not there.

No, this is just got a kid's imagination. I hate to poo poo. Um, it's Wingly and it's Tingly Vaughan. I needed more information. I would have said it was a mum. Ask him what he got me for my seventh birthday. Does he have a mustache? Pony!

Yes! Oh my gosh. It wasn't a pony, that's what I wanted though. But then that's what every seven year old wants. This is what I'm saying. No, but sometimes you hear these stories and the kids nail the information. You're like, there is no way a two year old would know that.

Oh, someone just messaged in saying there's 100% someone visiting my daughter at the moment. Just more info, more info, more info. More info. This is what we do for Weird Tinkly Wingly Wednesday. Oh! Okay, when my sister was around three or four, my dad was watching a documentary on Pompeii,

and she pointed to the TV and said, that's where I died once. My mummy covered my head and was singing, but she's not my mummy this time. I don't like that. She's not my mummy this time! Oh my God. That's a four on the nipple scale,

almost immediately. Pompeii, there's something creepy about Pompeii. It's cause they found them all and they're all like. Cuckooned in the thing. Oh God, okay here they come, here they come. Here they come, here comes the tingly winglies. Okay, 0800, dials it in as the number you can text through, 9696.

We rate your stories on the nipple radar, on the scale, so how high our nipples get from the goosey bumps is how good your story is. Yeah. How we give us your Wingly Tingly Wednesday stories. We're gonna get through these. Wait a minute, you were just shit talking me off air. Yeah we were. I just realised you were shit talking me. He was singing into his... I was singing Scars by Papa Roach. We're doing Wingly Tingly Wednesday because it's Wingly, it's Tingly, it's Wednesday and there was a kid that was like pointing to a dead grandma in the corner or something. But your stories are so much better than

that. Oh my god and we mentioned a text right that was someone's definitely visiting my daughter at the moment. Is that you Lisa? That is me indeed. Now have you cracked a window? Oh, don't listen to them. Don't listen to them. Could be carbon dioxide. No, no. So there's been a few times my daughter's woken up

in the middle of the night and like we go on the security camera and I know what Fleetwood and Bourne are gonna say. It's all, you know, just stuff and stuff but there's definitely something floating around. Yeah. I believe it. Wait, you can see stuff on the security camera floating.

You can see orbs floating around the broom. Dust article. Dust article. No, no, no, no. Did you say it was around a broom or a room? It's around her room. So she's only, she turns two in July And I asked her if someone had been visiting her and she nodded.

And I showed, I was like, oh, I wonder who it could possibly be. And one of my friends passed away in a crash when I was 18. And I showed her a picture of her and she started smiling straight away and said, Jess, I have never once mentioned or showed her Jess before.

So help me. Oh, that's creepy. Oh, that's creepy. So she got a name. I like that. That's information. That's information. That's good.

That's good. That's hitting four nips. Why does it happen to kids? Even giving me some hard nips there. That's four out of five on the hard nip scale. Very wangly tingling. Oh, even some little hair, back of the hair. Oh, yes, same.

Back of the neck. Oh. What's your... Your daughter's not named after Jess. I was just thinking she might be repeating her own name there. No, no. You didn't feed it to her? No, her name's Charlie so nothing like Jess.

Okay. Jesus Lisa. She didn't want to play, she didn't want to play chess? Chess? Well it's funny because she started telling stories in her room and it's like, who are you talking to? Oh no. She's talking to Jess.

Dead Jess. Okay, that's good, that's good. This is your friend right? You know, she's talking to Jess. Dead Jess. Yeah. Okay, that's good. That's nice though. This is your friend, right? You know, she's going to look after her. You'd be weird if it was like Hitler or something. Oh yeah. Who's in the room? Hitler! Hitler, mummy!

Oh Jesus, what's he saying? Exterminate them all! Oh, I think we're going to tell Hitler to leave. Carry on! Carry on my legacy! Thank you, Lisa. Keep your texts coming in for Weird Tingly Winkly Wednesday. Oh my god there's so many we're not going to get to them all. It is Weird Tingly Winkly Wednesday. Yeah, oh my god just go, get into the messages.

It's, it's yeah. Georgia do you believe in any of this rubbish nonsense? You can leave if you want. I actually do. Good. I know, how did the kid know the best friend's name? That's right, somebody said when my kid, who's two says yes to things, it sounds like she's saying Jess.

So do you want a cookie? Jess. Okay, that's explainable. Who are they? Jess. Dion, welcome to Weird Tingly Wingly Wednesday. What's your story of the unusual? Yeah, I would, thanks for having me.

I would say that I sat relatively high on the spectrum of non-believers. Oh, here we go. He's a non-believer. Converted. Nice, or a ghost. Yeah, so I had occasion to be out at the old King's Seat Hospital well after it had closed and then they let me in. No!

I'm already wiggly! Now this is what they made Spookers was there, eh? That is. Still there? Yeah, indeed. Yeah, and they did, they've done a couple of the American Ghost hunter visits there as well and showing some pretty pretty weird stuff But they were also renting a number of the chalets out to people for accommodation

I could probably I reckon I take the hot top 10 holiday party And if it's cheap, I could probably ignore the ghosts. I'd take the hot top 10 holiday park over there. So as it happened, there was one of the ladies who was living and I was working as an investigator and I was speaking to her about something. And her little daughter, she would have been about six, was drawing, just doing some drawing at the table. And one of the pictures was kind of the little hats, nurses

hats with the wee crosses, like an old 50s or 60s style. I tell you what, the nips are starting to harden. Yeah, Haley, you've got a good grip going on there. I know, I'm just monitoring them. So, and of course you'd be polite and say, oh, that's a good drawing. What are those about? She wasn't copying from a book there was nothing these were just you know drawing she was in the drawing little hand holding and the mum said um they're the ladies that visit her from down there

Shelly 8 was the mortuary where they asked that people had lobotomies and shock treatment and stuff and I myself felt I had those hang on a minute and I was thinking looking around like where are the books she must be copying books but this dear little girl evidently had some friends at Kingseat Hospital in nurses uniforms who to that very day would visit her. So it sounded hard to stay skeptical, but I... Deon's wonderfully spoken, isn't he? He's used some really lovely words. And great story, great pacing on the story, Deon.

10 out of 10 story time. But my problem is, why would the nurses be dead and hanging around? They just worked there. You're telling me they're coming back to do overtime when they're dead? No way, Enjoy your death. Now if it was the people that they lobotomized walking around with a hole in the front of

the head. They might have been wearing the nurses outfits to escape. Oh, you think it was a failed escape? The question, I didn't want to probe the wee girl any further. I felt the damage was done. I thought it was. Totally, Dion. Dion, amazing.

Thank you. Can we call her of the week? We did texts of the week. Can we call her of the week, Dion? Just phenomenal storyteller. Yeah, just really. And of the week? We did text of the week. Can we call her of the week Dion, just phenomenal storyteller. Yeah, just really.

And a great story. Have we done the caller of the week? Oh have we? Huck it, we'll just do another one. I said Huck it by the way, I meant Huck of the prize. No we don't say that word. Sorry Dion, I really wanted to, just phenomenal storyteller.

Some messages then. My ex was asleep in Wellington, woke up to his grandfather who was alive in the Waikato, coming into his room, sitting on the end of his bed, and he said, what are you doing here, Granit? Well, cars, hello. And his granddad said, what? Got the intercity.

His granddad is Mark Lundy. Got there real quick. Pfft. Ah! Ah! Ha ha ha ha! Wow. So, and Granit.

I'd like to think he's now listening to the show. Oh yeah, man. Oh, they're slandering me. And now you've lost. He's out. A now listening to the show. Oh yeah, man. Oh, they're slandering me. And now you've lost a listener. He's out. Um. Carry on.

And came into his room, sitting on his bed, he says, what are you doing here Grandad? And his grandfather said, just, it's all right Al, you go back to sleep mate, everything's gonna be okay. Work up the next day to a call from his father saying, Grandad passed away in the middle of the night. Oh! Oh my god!

I just love all goosey arms. Five out of five. Five out of five on the nips. Guys, there's so many. It's cold in here, eh? No, it's not. Five out of five. Five out of five on the NURPS. Guys, there's so many. It's cold in here, eh? No, it's not. It's ghostly.

Our family friend's dad died. His name was Tommy. His estate was sold and the children went to meet the new owners after some time. The new owner's child was walking around talking to his friend, Tommy. Hellfagger. Well, it was because he had the jacket.

Tommy Lee from Motley Crue. Tommy and his other friend, Fubu. Yup. They just loved an the jacket. Tommy Lee from Motley Crue. And his other friend Fubu. Yeah, he just loved an old jacket. Okay, apparently a lot of the nurses were hurt and killed by patients at King's Seat. No way! Wingly. Oh my God, the little girl with six years old saw them!

That's gnarly. And the nurses, they're caring for her, even in the afterlife. Yes! Yeah, even after they met a grizzly demise. Another one, when I was 12, my friend got diagnosed with a brain tumor, that's awful.

A few months later, I had a dream of her, and she was talking to me and saying goodbye, it's time to go, I've got to school the next morning to find out she had died the night before. Oh. I'm wingly. I'm tingly. I'm tingly. I'm Wednesday.

I know. How do we move on from this? I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well, that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse? And hopefully they'll work out the other way. Do you?

Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Give us a review. Play ZM's Fletch-Born and Hayley.
