The ZM Podcast Network The Fleshhorn and Haley, big pod. Great things are brewing at McCaffey. The perfect start to every day. Thank you, Brin. Good morning. Fletch, Vaugh and Haley. Welcome to the show.

Joining us in studio before seven, Marvelous. Absolutely, marvellous. Marvelous. Oh, Marvellous. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Oh, marvelous. John Campbell.

He might not come in after that. Yeah, it's not a mocking. It is a, it's a sign of respect. Oh my God, we love our John Campbell, don't we? It's a legend. He's joining us in studio because he has done a special on TVNZ Plus about the Uber economy. Yes. And I think this after he comes in may make us feel bad about not tipping.

Yeah. Yep. I know. Look after our drivers. What else is I going to do? Walk. Walk. Tell you what, you won't be getting a blood.

the taxi. Long teas, but after 8 o'clock, I got a taxi for the first time yesterday. Did you? A taxi? What did you have, a chit? I didn't have a chit. A taxi? What was your phone flat or something? No, no, no, no. It was like a production thing. However, it all, it was pretty harrowing.

Okay. So if you want to stick around after 8 o'clock. Okay. The top six on the way, Lotto has rolled over again. $45 million. God, I thought I was going to win because I brought a lottery ticket from a small town. I was like, this is how you win. Like, it's always a small town. I had physical and online, because I was in Invercargo

I was like, they'll never suspect me. Yes. So I got one of this. No, but it's never Invercogel. It's always like one of the outskirts of Invercars. I know, I know. Milton or something. Wow. Stopped in Milton. Nobody won. So the top six conversations about Lotto that you're going to hear this week.

Oh yeah. There were a lot of those last week, but it's going to ramp up this week, isn't it? Next on the show. I have an announcement to make. It's a return of something that I didn't want to come back. I think 2025 has been your hottest year. Man, it's been sexy. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley.

When did I burn off my last round of warts? Um, with my at-home kit that I still have a scar from. Yeah, yeah, right, okay. Because I really pressed down and spread the sort of cold. What is it? Yeah, always I'm... Liquid, isn't it?

It's sort of liquid nitrogen. Yeah, always follow directions. Yeah, I pushed down too hard, too long to really burn it off and I think, yeah, I've got to have a scar there. Right. Well, if you look down from the scar of where the whart was burnt off, beep, beep, beep, beep, new water lit. Oh no.

Two new warts. Are you wart prone? Yeah, I always have been. Really? Since I was a kid. I wonder if some people are more wart prone than others. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how it works.

Are they contagious? like, yes. If you squeezed your wot onto me, would I get it? You'd get a bit of my water juice. Well, you don't touch that and touch the light switch, isn't it? Morts are contagious though not in an extreme or instant way. Nah, they're not like super... It's not like a cold sore or something.

Right, otherwise it'd all be watered. It would all be super washing. That caused by certain strains of HPV that infect the top layer of skin, the virus enters through tiny cuts or abrasions. The human papilloma virus really does do a lot to the body, doesn't it? Yeah. Well, I do.

I've got a wot on that knee. A knee ward. And then I saw another one on the other knee, sort of opposite. Have you been sharing razors, towels or socks with people? No. Okay, keep them covered with a waterproof bandage if you swim and go to the gym, please? I swim and go to the gym. I'll swim in the beach.

Avoid touching them or picking out them and wash your hands after touching any water. Well, I just touched it, so I'll pop to the bathroom after the spray. Give it a wash. Well, no, why do you've got them again? You keep touching. I am very touchy. I spread a whole infection around my face quite famously last month. So I, now I'm like, what do I do?

Do I go to the doctor this time to get the doctor to burn them off? Because the doctor's better. I did the at-home kit last time and man, I absolutely sizzled the skin. Yeah, but I think you, like you said, you pressed too long. Yeah, I did. You were like, it's like, and then it's like spread and spread and spread. It's pretty gross. Do you live in a warm, damp place?

You're just looking. Auckland. Dice ahead. Are some people more prone to warts than others? Yes, people are definitely. more prone to warts than others. The difference comes down to how well your immune system recognises and fights off the hip-hav. This is classic you

burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. Run down and I'm getting warts. Run down and getting wartty. People under stress that says that weaker immune system, children and teens as your immune systems haven't built full-hap. Everybody knew a really warty kid, eh? Yeah. I don't know if I did. I had a whopper on my hand when I was a kid. Right. Or people under stress who are run down or lacking

sleep and those with immune compromising conditions or medications. Oh my God. Classic sprow. Is this the final straw that will make me prioritise sleep? If it's not like for health or weight or general well-being, I'm like, I draw the line of the wards. And now

you might finally go to bed at a decent hour. No, you know what? I'm 8 o'clock. I'll be in bed tonight. Yeah, because you've got wards. Because I've got warts. Next on the show, I'm excited to discuss this list. The best breads in the world have been decided to on. And I don't disagree.

Who decided on this list? The world. The whole world. The whole world. The United Nations. I had a Narn last night, so I hope that's on the list. Damn, god damn right. The world's best bread has been revealed. Oh, God. Well, who voted on this?

Did you not get your forms? Not mad about this list, but, you know, I want to know who's deciding these things. Taste Atlas. Oh, right. Conducted it. They're the gurus, of course. I've never heard of Taste Atlas before Let me click this link

And just wait for the work Wi-Fi to do the rest I did I did live a meme That I'd seen online at the weekend When I was that person The meme was like When you eat breakfast

Wait, no, we give us 42, though, because what's down there? Manakish, it's a Lebanese flat bread. It's a Lebanese breakfast bread, a round flat bread that's typically topped with olive oil and sesame seeds, time and sum.

Uh, this is a griddled Italian. flat bread is enjoyed as a sandwich but it is it's like it's an Italian version of can I just say like I thought this list was going to be like I'm multi-mondeur like Vogels and then I thought there might be like once a scene imagine of what

oh yeah but these are like real posh no they're not overseas breads they're just local they're local breads number seven the nan chelda a unique and popular flatbread with a chewy texture that has its roots in India. We're all familiar with the Narn. Number six on the list. We're going to Portugal again, where this bread is a traditional Portuguese bread originating from a certain area of Portugal.

What's it called? Pao Alianto. And what kind of bread is that? That's a fluffy big bread. Okay. It's a roti on the list. Is it in the top ten? Parota is next.

Don't be patient. From India. It's a southern Indian flat bread. Prata. Yum. I don't know if I've ever. They've ever had this. Oh, flaky, like buttery.

It's also popular in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. It's almost like croissonties. Yeah, it's almost, you know the roti ones, but they're like croissanti. And you see them and they're stretching them wide and then they spin them up and they fry them like that. Yum, yum, yum. Next number four on the list is a pan de bono from Colombia. Oh. It's a traditional bread, traditional bread, of cassava starch, cornmeal or corn flour.

That just looks like a lame bread bun. It's a bread bun. Number three on the list. Rodi! Roti! Roti Kani, from Malaysia. I'm happy this is in the top ten. Me too, dip that in the chicken.

Roisi Kani is a traditional pan-fried flat bread made with flour, eggs, water and fat. It's of an Indian origin but Malaysia has made it their own. Number two on the list. Amritsari culture is an Indian bread coming from the northern Indian city of Amritzana. I love an onion culture. Well, it's a flatbread stuffed with.

potatoes, onions, cottage, cheeses, and spices. You can get these at your locals. It's like a basically stuffed nut. Yeah. Is number one on the list of one dollar loaf of white bread? No, it's not, unfortunately. Tip top soft. Tip top.

Yep, lovely. Super soft. It's a sausage in it. It's a free bun from big fish. Yeah, yeah, man. In the 90s. In the 90s, it's a free bun from big fish. No, the number one is the butter garlic narn.

So Narn is as it should be. As it should be, as we are want to be. But do you think that Narn is a well represented as we are want to be. But do you think that Narn. well represented in there because we're dipping it in like butter chicken sauce. Yeah, but also the bread on it's on. Oh gosh. Yeah.

But you know we, as white people love to add cheese on it. And garlic. And garlic. Cheese and garlic. By the most of garlic narn. Butter garlic narn is a traditional flatbread and one of the most popular versions of narn. It's made with flour baking powder, salt, sugar and dahi.

Once the dough is baked in a hot tandoor oven, the golden nana is taken out and brushed with butter or ghee and then top of minced garlic. recommended to be served alongside a variety of Indian dishes such as curries, butter chicken, yes, malar coughed or a panir. I hope that we've derailed people enough with this break that they'll give up their healthy eating for the week

and just have a butter chicken for them. Because I'm starting today. I absolutely chooned food over the last week and I'm starting today. And then when you said that, I actually was like, oh, there's a great place just like five minutes from work that does a killer roti chan eye,

and maybe I'll start tomorrow. Just to honour the list And have some narns and rotis We could count to that I've now found taste that Let's also do the list of the world's worst breads Oh no I think maybe save that for tomorrow

There are some shocking looking breads What is it just like a stale roll or something I learned about dead bread on bake off Which was like if you were doing decorations or something You add no yeast It's like flat and it's like this hard disc Almost crackeresque but not delicious It's like no salt no flavour no nothing

It's like flour and water It goes hard Dead bread's going to be on there The number one The number one worst bread Is Chapulelele from Chile Chappaleigh It's a chili and bread

Made with two main ingredients Potato and flour It's not wet enough It's not wet enough We're gonna add some water to this thing Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley Play ZDM's Flashworn and Haley

Okay there is This is not good news So there is an actress Her name is Shea Mitchell. She was in pretty little liars. And you, you know, the stalkery series from Netflix, the guy, penbag, stalking you, yeah. Oh, yeah, okay. Okay, yeah, she's a bit of you, isn't she worn?

She's a entirety of me. A Canadian actress and entrepreneur. Yes. Well, the entrepreneur bit is the bit we want to talk about, not her acting work, because she, over the weekend, launched her new skincare brand called Rini. It's the Korean word for children Now we know Korean skin care is like Woof like huge right

Top shelf top shelf stuff We love the Korean skincare This skincare is called Children basically because it's for toddlers For little babies Oh wait we're talking like We're talking child skincare We're talking toddler children

We're talking Widdle Widdle we're not talking We're not talking about Sephora kids because everyone from the age of like 10 is now like, I've got to go to Mecca, I've got to go to Sephora, I've got to go all this skincare and everyone was like, please don't put retinal on your face, you're going to burn it off, you've got thin skin,

hasn't been weathered by the sun like mine. So, no, this is really aimed at very, very young children, Reney. It's released, it started with three face masks that we can put on skin care masks. But like, imagine a four-year-old with a face mask. Yeah, they're calling them gentle, hyperalogenic and safer kids. But there's just a bigger issue, right? Even if the stuff that the kids are putting on their skin

is gentle enough for kids' skin. Which, by the way, dermatologists are like, stop! Like, sunblock! Just put sunblock on your kit. Yeah. They don't need anything else. Well, you could argue that you could just do that for adults as well. You don't need anything else.

If you're going to put anything on, let it be sunblock and then that's over. I mean, you could probably speak to burning off half your face last month. I did. As someone that's had children and continues to have you got sunblock on but there's nice sunblock now nice cosmetic sunblocks that's also what we say to Vaugham and he

asked us if we have sunblock on yeah you two are very naughty you guys got sunscreen on I got I got my still got my barley tan a little bit of... You would still have your barley tan if you put sunscreen on as well so Vaughn's translucent like yeah we've got a little bit of colour on the arms oh yeah okay from Bali for sure

but I I wear sunscreen every single day though even through winter. Sunblock is a mass for me. And that's why I look incredible. But people are outraged that this is even a thing. So dermatologists are calling it the lesser of two evils. Kid formulated products are the lesser of two evils.

Even if they're mild and well tested, it's more about psychologically what we're training kids to get into, right? Yeah. And then parents are like, it's like early beauty conditioning. That they're going to be like, I need to do this so that I'm beautiful. I need to do this so that I look better or that my skin doesn't age. you're like, we can't be doing that. And then plus, if you've got like a young, young kid and then they've got super

sensitive skin, which they often do, even the, like, mild stuff, like, all over or whatever, can still be, like, really irritating. Yeah. So, yeah, she's got 35 million followers on Instagram. And if you look at her face, you can see why. But I think people are just like, can you not target our children? Yeah. For your skincare brand please.

Play ZDM's Flashwon and Haley. We're joined in studio by our favourite person, John Campbell. Hello. Favorite person in the studio now, other than the three of you. Yeah, that's me. Yes, John. Genuine friend, John Campbell. Definitely, definitely top four in the studio now.

You can come to Bali with us next time on our genuine friends. I'd love that. Oh, my God. We would love that. I mean, I don't, you know, I need to state some stuff in advance. Like, this is how I dress. All right. You can't have a suit in Bali, John.

I can. I went to the beach. I mean, I wouldn't go to the beach. But if I did, this would be how I dress. What would you wear to the beach club? Well, I wouldn't go to the beach club. Okay. Well, I didn't think I'd go to the beach club either.

I'd tell you, I was an eye-opening experience, and I had a good time. He's in the pool with his face painted and a beer in his hand. I've seen the photos. In fact, I've lingered over the face. You're all magnificent. Oh, John. Now, John, tell us about this special. It's out now on TVNZ Plus.

It's Uber. So I've just looked at Uber. So I suspect many of your listeners, many of your wonderful, insightful, informed and descending listeners all the time. All the time. All the time. I do. Yeah. It's fantastic. The app is incredible. It's efficient. The reason it's efficient, the reason you never have to wait longer than two or three or four or five minutes

if you live in a relatively central suburb. One of our major cities is because there's about 11,000 Uber drivers on the road. Wow. There's not enough work for them. Yeah. And so the reason you only have to wait two or three minutes is that they're just driving around, waiting and waiting, waiting. So I live in Gray Lynn. I come into town. That's typically, if it's not surging about 11 bucks. The Uber driver's getting about 6 bucks of that. If they've waited

10 or 15 minutes for the job and then driven 5 minutes to my house and then 15 minutes, 10 or 15 minutes into town, their hourly rate is way below minimum wage. Like way below. I think that's a discussion we need to have. Do we value labour that cheaply? Because that's the thing. If I catch an Uber home

it's a $65 and I'm like, he's done well out of that. Not taking into consideration at all getting back to where the people are. Totally. And we live out so the chances of him picking up a ride on the other way. Slim to none. Very slim to none.

Also, Uber takes sort of 28, 30% of that, roughly ballpark. And then, of course, he or she has to pay the cost of keeping a car on the road, ACC, insurances, charging. A lot of them, if you catch a comfort Uber and you get into a press, they've borrowed money to buy that press. 100%. Because they get $3 extra affair, right? Yeah.

So it's a really incredible model. It works for the Uber user. It certainly works for Uber. They made $400 million revenue in New Zealand last year. In New Zealand. $400 million revenue, they paid $800,000 tax. So the market is just so pro-Uber, but who else is it pro? Yeah.

And what else is it doing to the worker model? If we allow people to work for less than the minimum wage, then what are we saying about how we value labour? And what will that eventually mean for everyone listening to this now? Yeah. I never thought about it because I was always such a fan of Uber. It's so good. It's so easy and it takes you anywhere, and the app's amazing,

until a good friend of mine started doing it. He was a freelancer, needed extra money, and he would message at the end of some nights and how long did you go, three hours, four hours. I lost money from the gas, from just circling around, wasting my time for a couple of $15 rides. You know, there's no guarantee of money, there's nothing.

No holiday pay, no. No holiday pay, no nothing, and then your seatbelt breaks and now you're going to go and put $1,000 here and da-da-da-da. All of that. And then, of course, four Uber drivers went to the employment court. I'll keep this really short. They won the employment court said,

you've been working in the nature of a permanent relationship with Uber. So you are an employee, not a contractor. Uber appealed that to the appeal court. The drivers won again at the appeal court. It's now before the Supreme Court. So in fact, actually the courts are saying this is an employment relationship. You're not contractors. Yeah.

You're 48 weeks a year, 50 hours a week. That's employment. It's not contract. But now Brooke Van Veldon, the workplace relations minister, is rewriting the legislation to get around that. So these are big issues. Yeah. But do you think that Uber is so big that they just wouldn't

even care because they'll just like get rid of you if you don't want to do Uber anymore because another thousand people will. 100%. Because it's easy. Not easy. It's not an easy job, but you can do it. You know, if you need extra money, I've got a car, then I can drive. So they don't need you, they don't need to care about their employees.

No, they don't. They need a certain amount of drivers because no one will use an app where you have to wait too long. Totally. But that's what they need. But what is the solution? Is it a new app that's New Zealand-based that gives the drivers more money?

Yeah, and then the question is Fletch. So there's the Haley Fletch and Vaughan app, right? Yeah, okay. And you guys are paying your drivers minimum wage, which means my fear from Grayland isn't $11, it's $18, am I going to use it? So in the end, it kind of comes back to us. And, you know, this is a middle-aged duty

has an immensely privileged life saying, hey, we should be paying more for this. A lot of your listeners won't be able to afford to pay more for that. But those of us who can should And also what is the government doing about protecting workers Do we want a significant workforce earning less than minimum wage a lot of the time? Do we want that?

So in your special, do you feel like you land on any answers Or any like, or are you just looking into it? No, it's hard to land on answers now. Yeah. Because you're asking the question, like, what do we do? And I'm like, I don't know, no. If you can afford to, you tip. Yeah.

If you can afford to. Because does all the tip go to the driver or do that Uber ticket cut of that too? It's a really weird one. So I tip five bucks every time, and I always say to the driver, show me what you got, and they get $4.25, even though it says 100% of your tip goes to the driver. Really?

Even though it's a tip? Yeah, it feels like GST's coming out. I can't get anyone to explain what's happening there, but they get more of the tip than they do of the fare. Right, okay. Right, wow. So I don't think Uber's cream any of the tip. I don't think wherever that money's going, it's not going to Uber.

Yeah, right. Yeah, right. I mean, all of this would be solved because New Zealand has such a fantastic public transport. Yeah, yeah. wouldn't it be nice if we could just rely on that yeah yeah yeah yeah but I guess you know six and one half a dozen they have yeah yeah we don't have a public transport

to alleviate the stress on this and we're just going to make it harder for these people to function to provide the the transport situation huh I'm glad you're looking into it John it just feels like another one of those issues that it's like because it serves us and we enjoy it that we sometimes can put up our blinkers like a lot of things Fast fashion recycling.

We're not going back to taxis because they were taking advantage of us for way too long. Taking the piss. I remember when I first called an Uber and it was like half the taxi fare. Yes. And I remember feeling really pissed off

the taxi companies had been ripping me. Ripping. How many times we would come back from the airport and, you know, work was paying for a taxi and it would be 120 bucks or a hundred bucks.

That night we went out and I'll say I'd have a few too many drinks and a dumb Haley just was like, oh, there's a taxi, I'll just get in. It was 170. $177. I live quite far out west. I think she had passed on the seat.

There was a soilage. There was a soilage. 177 bucks. Yeah, 17 bucks. I'll tell you what, if you ever want to lift, I'll do it 120. Okay. John is Haley. At least you know he's going to turn up in a suit.

They'll not be drunk at the beach. Oh, get out and open the door for you. Yeah, I won't piss if you can either. Don't worry about it. Reliable. Oh, John, well, I'm really looking forward to it. So lovely to see you three. Thanks have me on your wireless.

No problem. I can't wait to have you in Bali with us on our next holiday. It's going to be wild. It's going to be wild. And you can check out John's special on TVNZ Plus. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. That's us. Is it?

That's us. Open my thighs was the end of that song? Yeah, that's just it. Okay, open the thighs and then boom. That's how it goes. Yeah. No trick off. The songs used to soft fade.

And now they just stop. Now they just end, yeah. From your local community Facebook page This is the top six Six lotto players split $1 million on Saturday They didn't really

Your one stop coffee spot to keep the show on the road I thought of this yesterday Because there's a shift in my parents' marriage Patsy and Sproul has become the designated driver of the relationship. Oh, is Craig or was the driver? Craig has been driver since day dog. Well, your mum has been driver energy.

She does, but she's not. She's a power house. She's a powerful woman. But there's been a shift, and I just noticed it, and I was like, well, crazy. Yeah. Because I'm driver. I hate being a passenger.

And it's been, you know, I've been on the seven days tour in the van. Yep. And I'm back there. I'm in the back. Who drives the van? Who drives the van? It rotates between, um, Dye, Corby and Paul.

Can you imagine? In one foul swoop. So there'd be a power vacuum for who would step up. Imagine the funeral. I mean, I know. It would be a real change of the guard. But Dye was really, he was ready and he handled it well. Right, okay.

He's good. Yeah, a defensive driver. Paul's a little slow. Okay. He's conservative. Well, silly little poll is who drives in your relationship and the options were I do, they do, we alternate. Okay. We alternate was the most popular response, 38%.

Okay. Oh, God, no. We're sharing it. Yeah, but sometimes you might not feel like driving. I always feel like driving. Sometimes my mum and dad will arrive at my place and mum will be driving and I'll be like, what's going on here? What's happened here?

Has there been a tiff? Yeah. Because Ian had a spell. Has Ian had a spell? Well, he might get confused with the exits. Oh, I just think, I think sometimes they swap halfway now. Oh, yeah, go to the bathroom, get a drink. Yeah, that's cute.

Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Hayley Quit Game The Challenge Season 2 The first four Epps are currently out on Netflix right now and I watch season 1 I'm yet to dive into season 2 but we are joined by

contestant number 375 Chris Williams who is himself a New Zealander Good morning Chris Good morning fan That's right It's your boy Weasel

Coming live from Gizzy Who don't do you Anyone in Squid Games from New Zealand. So were you the only Kiwi within the 456 contestants? I went around and I introduced myself to all 456. Are you from, anyone from New Zealand? New Zealand? Ozzy, Aussie, Aussie, American, British, Dubai.

Quite a few Aussies, right? How many Aussies? I spotted about eight. Yeah. There was a good mix of them. Go on. So people from all around the world, but it was filmed in London, did they fly you there, or were they like,

if you want to be on this, you've got to make your own way? You don't get a dollar, but they'll pay for everything. And, of course, that one person gets $4.56 million. USD, that's $8 million, New Zealand dollars, can you imagine? Oh, my God. Oh, Chris. Right. Now, there are new episodes out tomorrow because it's not all out yet,

so we don't know what's happened. So you obviously know, but we can't say. I'm just like, I was like looking at trying to look in this background because we've got them on Zoom. Like, are there signs that he's... He's got a Renault going or something. He's got like new walls or something. There is no lime green Mustang behind me, so it's not looking good.

It's not looking good for me. He's underplaying it, though. Yeah, you don't know, yeah, exactly. So you see the application. How did you even see the application? Where was it? Just at the end of the episodes on season one. Right.

And I was like, I don't usually do reality TV, but I was so addicted to that. I was like, I could do... It's so dramatic. Yeah. Look at them just not being able to come to a conclusion or a decision. Have you heard of Paper Scissors Rock? That's how we resolve everything in Gizzy. I assume New Zealand.

Yeah. I was like, let's do it. I'll apply. Why not? Two minute intro video. What's up? It's your boy weasel from New Zealand. Blah, blah, blah.

I could not believe it when I got the call back. And, yeah. Right. And then so. Now you're on it. Neck minute, you're on a flight. Sorry, we'd bring you back neck minute on the show. Neck minute, you're on a flight.

Flown to the UK. Yeah. I think they cheaped out because they flew me to LAX first, then another six-hour layover, then 12 hours to the UK, then get into the hotel room, here's your squid, here's your costume, here's your outfit, all right, get into this hotel room. Three days. Three days. Yep, three days of confinement in your hotel room. You can't see the time. Mealtimes are random. Kind of like an MIQ. The games are already on. Yeah, like COVID MIQ you can't leave your hotel room no thanks so every now then you go for a meal though

and it's just 456 crazy americans and everyone's like that thought to me there's so much excitement do you think they did that to kind of um make it so that when you did appear on the show you were just itching to get out there and itching and they didn't want you forming alliances or like getting too comfortable with the cast making friends with people yeah okay okay so then you walk into this ginormous warehouse like what are the sets like because that's the set is so incredible I thought there'd be like

the fake wall with all of the camera crew and that it is so immersive and the one thing they told us is you're going to do red light green light for the first game so we're all waiting in anticipation they're like all right go down this tunnel

it's game on in the hotel room I've been doing half hour squats and trying to see what position I could sit in for that long go in and you're in the dorms and you're like what? And it was just fully immersive of incredible

just insane the energy was wild What I loved about the reality TV show version was that they honored the shooting and the blood spurts the squid packs

they call it yeah so that is getting installed in you so that when you I mean don't tell because we don't want to know if you die or not

because of the ones you don't win but does everybody get a blood pack for that first round like you don't know if it's going to go off okay right you'll see the awkward little

in some of the shots everyone's squibbed up, everyone's miced up. Can't imagine how many editors are watching 456 people and deciding what's the interesting bit. That's the crazy bit about it. Like the editing of it. Happening in the moment.

Also, they've just literally paid for so many of these people to fly all the way around the world and then they're shooting them and they're sending them home? I mean, well, I'll just tell you what happened right? Because the four episodes are out. But did you see in the first game? Are we like to talk about it?

Yeah, of course we can. That first game, they wipe out half the contestants in one go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they had no part to plan it. It was just, who can count to 456 seconds? Your time starts now. Do you imagine 200 people like, la, la, la, no, they're going to count to 456 seconds.

It was absolutely crazy. And our guy, this guy goes, yo, I'm a musician. I can definitely do this. There's a Pink Floyd song that's 60 beats per minute. And he just starts going, we're all like, yep, he'll do it. Let's trust him. He starts just grooving away and he's just going, blah, blah, bah, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm like, he's got this. He's absolutely got this. Like, he just was in the zone. And he got it. He got it by two seconds. Yeah. The opponent got it 12 seconds off. Oh, wow.

They dropped this big screen to see the other competitors. And we're all like throwing up this X, like, yes, X, X, X. And they looked kind of sad. and then you just see pap pap pap pap pap all of the shabats go off and we were like

Oh my God no sporting event no cricket world cup final nothing has ever had me that jeed up like we were on the edge of our Rick and that was amazing Were you surprised

because it's like not real but like they make it so it's all feels real were you surprised how into it you got yeah but it is real You could win $8 million New Zealand dollars.

You're like, come on, bro, count to $456. But even the – you have to choose, do you want to be on the red side or the blue side? I went across to the blue side. They're like, quickly get into your groups. My mates pulled me across to the blue side, and I was like, ooh, it feels so icky here. I don't want to be here. And then staff came out, and they're like, yeah, that's it. You're split into two.

And I was like, I need to get on the other side. This feels so bad in my gut. And they're like, hey, guys, we've got an issue. We need 15 guys and nine girls to come over. to the other side. I'm going, I'm going. And I jumped up and I argued with these people and I got to go back to the red side and that was the team that won the first game

and I pulled my American girl mates with me. And then they went on to go even further and further. So just little things like that. Like people hooking up in the bunks but you can't even tell us, you know what I mean? They had protection available should you want to get

down and get it. It was like 18 cameras looking at you. And you know the whistled likes to get frisky, but I was like, that's a bold move. Do I really want that 15 seconds of fame? Now, Chris, can we quickly touch on, so five years ago, well, six years ago, part of what made you such a confident person that made you feel like you can tackle anything, is that you were kidnapped in Tanzania and told,

give us everything you've got or you're going to be dead. Yeah, yeah. So, okay, just give us a quick rundown of what happened. Um, well, we'd been, me and my partner Tiffany went on this big OE for nine months. Um, yeah, we'd been using, we'd been using Uber and grab taxis that had been all good. Meet this friendly guy at a museum and he's like, hey, I know you're going to use grab, but I'm just starting a taxi business. Could you support me instead? I was like, oh, okay, bro.

Help out the love goes, yeah. All right. That's key. We'll give everyone a chance. Yeah, why not? Then we go into this taxi. It's, you know, it's got taxi stickers on it all good. jump in it.

You can get those on team, my mate's driving, by the way. Yeah. Next thing you know, flies down a dusty road, the doors fly open, two men jump on me, get me in a headlock. I go into jiu-jitsu mode, just that, just weird, flight or fright, I guess. And I'm just like, oh, yeah, nice try, grab him, kick him out, kick out another dude. There's about six people around the car, just shoving people into the back of it. Then they've got my partner Tiff in a headlock, and yeah, it gets very,

scary from then far out wow so they survived and what gave them some money they rinsed us there was a whole gang involved that drive from ATM to ATM they're like tell me the correct number or you're gone she's gone

so they took like five grand annual phones yep and enough money to leave the country because they know where you're going and I think that their accommodation let them know what was happening it seemed like they knew Everyone's in on it.

Wow. And so that obviously just, yeah, you're just like, well, I'll go and I'll go do a reality show. Yeah. Sort of a feeling where you're like, oh, wow, I could just die and that's it. So after that, little things don't seem to phrase me. Hashtag YOLO. Yeah, YOLO. Just fucking go for it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It seems like a cute little game in comparison. Well, good luck. I can't wait to see the results of the whole season. Everyone's absolutely loving watching it.

Now, some people made funny points and some people got extremely controversial. Like yours would be pineapple on pizza, maybe. That's a fun one.

Nothing controversial about a delicious Hawaiian pizza. Yeah. But something... That's just a personal preference. But that is a great question because then, yeah, you get either extremes and you get the funny people or you get, yeah, you'd weed out the races. Easy.

Got a little break before we're in Auckland, seven days live tour. Auckland this Friday, Rotorua Saturday, going to be fun. We're not doing New Plymouth. No. Because that's why we're in Road to Vegas because that New Plymouth theatre is under construction at the moment. So I don't get to go to one of my favourite spots. But, yeah. We've got a lot of war memorial halls you could have used.

But don't worry about it then. Yeah, it feels like we could have looked around. Center City Food Court? That would have... Like, let's think outside the box here, people. We could have propped up at the Len Lye. Do you know what I mean? Just avoided the artwork.

Exactly. Yeah, it's lazy. I apologize. We'll be back next year. Yesterday flew home from Invercargall. Invercogel was so much fun. I love it down there. I genuinely love it down there.

And we told them when we came out, we were like, we love being in Invercargul. They laughed. I don't think they think we were being serious. Right. Great time. Court a flight home yesterday, two-hour flight. landed in Auckland and there was a big group of us

quite a bit of baggage and like some signage and stuff that were heading back to the main office where a lot of us had parked our cars and I was getting picked up so we were looking for a van you know a taxi van couldn't fit in Uber so Uber's weren't on the on the cards and then couldn't find the right taxi band so we had to split between two taxis

one group in one taxi me and Josh Thompson friend of the show and another taxi I would say the guy opened his boot and he sort of hift the band in quite roughly, and I was like, he's got a chute, I'll give him that. Okay, yeah. We get him in the back of the car, and we pull out, and immediately I go, oh, oh, God, this

guy is, I don't know, if you want, maybe he wants to get home early. Maybe he wants to get home. Because he, is in a hurry? Far out, right. Well, did it feel like you were inconveniencing him? Yeah. Yeah. Like, what are you doing in my car?

Well, you're a taxi. Yesterday I had the worst taxi ride I've ever had of my life. Wow, okay. Now does this include overseas taxis because... Yeah. Really? And I was in a crash in a black...

One of London taxis. Really? And he got out and started, bloody, you're bloody right? And swearing and stuff. This was worse. This guy was... So, it was a car in front of us

that was definitely going 100 kilometres on the motorway. And this guy was almost nose-tapping him and was kind of going, like right up the thing. Then I hear like, he's flicking his lines. I was like, this is an aggressive man. Then he does like the lane next to us, the slower lane clears,

and he does like a full swerve out, looks over, like raises his fist at the other guy, swerves back in, at which point I see him hit 125 kilometres an hour. Whoa, okay, jeez. On the southwestern motorway. Yeah, so just from the airport, Yeah, heading northwest.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes. Now this is before the tunnel. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before the tunnel, 125 kilometres an hour. Wow, that's flying on that road. I do that thing where I'm like, I've braced the arm thing at the bag. Yeah, yeah.

I, at one point I grabbed Josh Thompson's shoulder and just like squeezed tightly and he just looks at me like... One of my favorite and funniest things you'll ever witness is Josh Thompson in a panic. It's the stuff of pure... like laughs how was Tomo? He kept doing the classic Tomo noise of

and I kept being like Jesus Oh so you guys were vocalising Yeah a little bit Your terror Oblivious and I was like Okay It luckily gets blocked by another car

Who he tailgates mercilessly But it means that we can no longer Go 125 kilometres an hour In a 100 so this is good But at that point is when he put one hand On the wheel and then he reaches down and starts, like, there's another phone on the passenger seat,

and he starts, like, typing away on it. Now, there's a period of time in which we're going at 100, and he hasn't looked at the road for some time. This is the moment where... You know, they do that in movies sometimes. Like, he's not even looking at the road. But then you realize that they're filming that on a trailer, and they're not actually driving.

We're not in a trailer, Fletch. We are driving at 100 kilometers an hour. This guy is sending an email. I see on his thing. He's email. Tip-tip, typey, typey, type. So I just like going, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.

And I said, sorry, would you mind concentrating on the road? And he was like, yeah, yeah. I just was like, oh, no, no, died. Wow, you actually... I know, I worked up the carriage. Yeah. And then he said, oh, yeah, like this. And then we overtake again...

I don't love that. Yeah. I don't know the dismissive nature of someone breaking the law. Then we hit the Waterview Tunnel, which lowers down to 80. And there's cameras. It does that, you know, the 10. Testing the entry and exit speeds. Are you sure when they do that?

No, I just think it's just one camera now, isn't it? Oh, okay. It's just a speed camera at the start. Well, I don't know how much he's paying tomorrow. He starts tooting at the person who has slowed to 80. So he overtakes in the left lane and we fang it through the tunnel. I was just like, oh, holding on for a dealer. It was madness.

And then he gets a text. And same thing. He's got like three phones on the go, by the way. Texting in the phone. the front, not looking, da-da-da-da-da. It was harrowing. And then we get finally to the destination, which is great. I was like, praise B.

Yeah. We get there. A moment of clarity. She saw, she now believes in Jesus. We get there. And the producer who's paying for the taxi right is in the second taxi. So we're like, well, we're going to have to wait. In my head, I was like, we have gone so fast.

They're going to be 20 minutes back. So far behind. We pull in, the other taxi pulls. and behind. And I was like, how is that possible? And then I see the producers and whoever it was, who else was getting out, Paul Eager, get out. And

they have white faces. And I was like, what happened? They were like, our guy was the worst driver ever. And I was like, no way. And he said, I reckon he was trying to chase your guy knowing that they were together. So there's two taxis would have just been a earning through Auckland. The first guy's driving, as

he has wanted to do it. Like a madman and the other person's like, I've got to follow him. Because he's the lead car. Because we won't, because we're one group. Cheek, did they have their ID? Oh, listen, I took a photo of the number plate and the ID, and I think I'm going to make a complaint. Only because.

Yeah, I feel like, you do. I'm like, if I was not who I was and said, hey, can you consider around the road? Yeah. You know, like, you've got to speak up. Wow, that's okay. That's crazy. He had a similar situation once,

and they were wondering why the tax driver was on their phone so much. He was also dropping drugs off her in the city. Oh, okay. He's right, yeah. We've got a dealer on our hands here. Sorry, he's got a little detour. He's parked outside someone's house. He's hooning to drop off some MDMA or something.

And then he's running back to the car being like, get it started! You're like, whoa! Oh my God, it was absolutely terrible. But I'm here. You're here and alive. And it's really giving me a zest for life. And that's why you've hung up your Live Life love poster. Yes, I have that.

Big part of James kindly left behind that you snuck into my home. Live Love Laugh is up on the wall. It's out of the garage. It's out of the garage and I'm absolutely stoked about this. I think this is a good idea. However, hard to obtain in New Zealand. Okay. The whiskey straw, don't get excited for one.

There is not a straw that sort of... It looks like you're doing a whiskey bit. Oh, yeah. The whiskey straw. The whiskey straw, it is a metal straw that has, you know, your little mouth bit that you would... Like a reusable... ...merews. And it bends down, and it goes down, down, down.

And at the bottom of the straw is a whisk, a small whisk that you could use to shake up your marcher or your protein. Remix? Because, you know, sometimes if you're taking your time, things split and separate. You know, when you get a freshly squeezed juice and the water and the pulp kind of separate. Any frozen drink? Any frozen Coke. Frozen Coke would be good. Because it gets the lumpy.

Yeah. So it's called The Whisk Straw. It was on one of those, like, Shark Tank-esque shows called Buy It. which I haven't heard of, but it's basically like, you know. Pitching ideas, right. They say lemonade, coffee, chocolate milk, powder drinks, smoothies, protein shakes. Perfect. Whisk and sip, whisk and sip.

Yep. But it's like 30 American dollars. This is actually a great idea. It's a great idea. Incredible. Guys, all I'm going to need is a metal straw. I've got some wire at home and a tig welder. I could make us these straw.

This is what I thought, because you know, it like came out in that. They've got all the mini-wisks. Like, I've got a lot of mini-tongs, but they've made. any whisks as well. So you just would need the attachment bit. I think we could just spot weld it straight to the straw. Okay. So the straw bit goes right down to the bottom and then the whisk is like around it.

So you're welding the whisk to the thing. I put the whisk, the bottom of the whisk. It's a whiskey. But why not just have a tiny mini whisk? What are you made of hands? What am I holding a straw in my mouth, the glass. What am I holding a straw in my mouth of the glass in one hand and the whiskers the other? Whisking and stirring and drinking with three...

What am I an octopus? Yeah. What are you a spider? For you to talk about this octopus, but not me. Not me. I've got two precious hands. You know this would be great for the ninja slushies. Oh, I know, because sometimes...

The frozen drinks. Doesn't it do its own slushy? Oh, you pour it into the glass. Yeah, you take it too long to drink your drinks. Yes, but when you do, when you sit on a slash, the ice goes to the bottom and then the thing... Or if you drink you too fast, you drink the flavour first of a slushy and then... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is a great idea. This is so good. I just searched on Kmart and nobody's, they don't have an imitation. Because, you know, normally they've always got a cheap imitation. I know. A dupe. But nobody's jupe this yet. I want to meet the person who works for Kmart.

Yeah. Who's, I'm guessing on the internet a lot, just looking at the thing that's about to pop off like this whisk straw. What a cool job would be. Okay, do it. Boom. On the phone. Yeah, yeah. Hello Chinese factory.

Guys, we're heating up our hair with air now. There's an air wrap. Yeah. I've got one. Find me. 12,000 whiskey straws. Would you want the pressure of that job, though? Because what if you ordered something and nobody liked it?

And then, like, you're trying to sell these. Make it cheaper, mate. Let's move some units. Move some units. Like the dip thing, the dip holder, the nugget dip holder in the car. Like, we're going to get on to this. I'd send it to a couple of influences and be like, remember you tell everybody how cool this is. Wrap your lips around the whiskey straw.

It cost me five cents to make it and I'm sitting out for $12. Welcome to the Sipping Revolution, they say. But yeah, if you get a travel bag, because this is, You put it in your handbag or whatever, and then when you go get your marcher for the day, you get your whiskey straw. It's, for the whiskey straw in a traveler bag to get it from the States,

and then this is, you know, still got to ship it, is 45 US dollars. Yeah, so you're better just to sell a tape a mini-whisk to a... We are better to get cellar tape in our hot beverages. Do you know what? You're a fool? Do you know what? Okay, okay, okay, okay,

because I'm looking at the whiskey straw, the beta, the beta, off of a beta, off of a beater, off of the mixer, hand mixer. No, you need, but you need the whisk attachment for the electric feeder. And then you just, yeah, welled the straw beside it. It's a great invention.

It's a great invention. Okay, you make one. Can you make it and we could start a business? A Kiwi-owned whiskey straw business. Yeah, I don't know, like, and we'll call it whiskey business. God's sake. It's great marketing from you.

Yeah. When are we letting the bosses know that we're out of here? Whisk straws. After we sell out of millions. I don't. know if we're going to... Our millionth whiskey straw. I don't know if we're going to escape the working life

by inventing a straw with a whisk on it. We're out of here. Why? What are you off to do? Also, we haven't invented it. We're literally ripping off someone's idea and telling everybody about it. That's what business is.

There are no new original ideas. No. Yeah, fair call. Okay? Stay tuned for whiskey business by Fletchwan and Haley. Play ZMs, Fletchhorn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Do do do do do do do do do to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.

It's landmark week at fact of the day. Famous buildings. People flock to see around the world. And today we're looking at the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty, bring us your sick, bring us your poor. Except not now. No. That's basically what they've.

changed the inscription on. Oh, except now. Except now, dot, dot, dot, no. Poor people, gross. Signed Donald J. Trump. Yeah. So, originally the Statue of Liberty Design was not meant for New York.

Not meant to welcome immigrants to New York on our island. Who was it from? The French. The French, yeah. And they put it on a boat, didn't they? And sailed it over. There's some amazing, like, old, old photos.

They have, like, her head. Yeah. And, like, it had been bits before it tarnished as well. The farmer's Santa. It's slightly more impressive than the old farmer's Santa. He was haunted man. He is our Statue of Liberty.

He is the closest we've got. Now he's just lying dead at some Tuanyca Toy Museum. Museum, yeah. Well, the original idea for the Statue of Liberty, the creator, Frederico Bartholie, first envisaged this colossal woman at the mouth of the Suez Canal

in Egypt. Oh, okay. Obviously, she wouldn't have been wearing the crown and sort of western garb. She was to be a robed woman holding a torchel off standing at the northern entrance of the Suez Canal on a peasant robe and a headscarf, far more Middle Eastern style. Right.

When he first conceptualized it. Egypt was undergoing a massive modernisation. This was in the 1800s. The Suez Canal was being built that borrowed heavily from European banks. The French were like, we'll get in and... Chippin. But I'll build this square, but you're paying for it.

Yeah, basically. And we own you. The King of the Times super Cain to do it but then just couldn't make it work financially. But Bartholdi had designed it, sort of had this massive design, had done some

engineering work on it and had even talked to Gustav Eiffel. Gustav Eiffel of Latourifel. River. Tower. Tower. The Eiffel River. The world famous Eiffel River. Where everyone goes. And he engineered.

So then it just got kind of put in the corner and set it together dust, the designs that it had done. Years later, there was a French anti-monicist political politician who wanted to make the relationship between America and France stronger

as they both had a little bit of an ick going towards the UK. Right. They both like, you know, had their issues, shall we say. And so Bartholdi remembered the Egyptian concept, repurposed it and made it Lady Liberty, put a crown on her here,

made her a little more western and the Roman robe and the crown of seven spikes and back into the picture post Gustav Eiffel who did it so the French people actually paid for the statue there was public donations, lotteries and fundraising events all the Americans had to do was build a pedestal that it stood on out there on Alice Island which cost you know in the millions of dollars in modern money but back of the day it was 250,000 US and they were struggling to do it and they're like we're not going to be able to have your lovely gift

until Joseph Pulitzer of Pulitzer Prize Fame launched a public campaign and said your name will be on this if you donate no matter how small and everyone loved the idea

of their name being somewhere on the Statue of Liberty so they raised the money and up she went in 1886 and was actually a working lighthouse in her crown in the head and the torch oh that made more sense I don't know why we went there.

The thing that was the light, was indeed a light, but it was ineffective because they couldn't, like, install the mirror system that they needed to get it further out. And changing the light bulb was a nightmare. How many people does it take to change the Liberty, like heaps, massive bulb. And pro tip as well, if you do win our trip to the IHart Radio Jingle Ball

soon with New Zealand Pro tip, you don't need to pay for an expensive cruise, you just get the Staten Island ferry return for free. And you can see it. Yeah, you go straight past it. Well, I mean, And it's, yeah, not as, you don't get as up close as a cruising. You don't get to go on the island, but it's free.

Get a photo. Yeah. So the face of the Statue of Liberty was named, was based off Bartholdi's mother. Apparently, he's a real mummy's boy. Oh, yeah. It's like, he's like, it's like, weird. It's weird, man. Yeah, it just decides to build, you know, he wanted to build a massive statue to his mummy.

I love my mummy. She's not pretty, I'd say. Oh, hey. She's quite a handsome woman. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah, but that's the thing back in the day, the ming is. were the hot ones. Yeah, I know. And now

it's flipped. And that sucks for me, man, because I'm an old school minger, you know. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Right. But back, if you go back to 1800s, you would have actually been so hot. I'm in 1800s 10. Yeah. I'm just in the wrong bloody century. Yeah. Imagine if you got a time machine, you went

back and all the guys are like, ooh. Yeah. Yeah, what the hell's that? What's a bad? What's all that? What's that? Yeah. Okay. Well, Well, they could have modelled it off Haley's face and the Statue of Liberty would have been a straight 10. Yes, it was straight 10 and 1800s 10.

So today's fact of the day is Statue of Liberty, technically a re-gift. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, do-d-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dud-dood-dud-dud-dud-dud-doo-doo. Play Z-M's Fletchbourne and Hayley. When did just a friend cause drama? It's a question we're asking you right now. And it's on the back of a story online about a woman who posted a work husband appreciation post. And now that man's actual wife doesn't love it. No, doesn't know.

Doesn't love it. But I tell you what, maybe she's got a point because Anonymous joins us. I believe you left for your work wife. Wait, wait. No, not quite My husband left me for the workwife Oh, your husband left you Oh, God, oh no

Oh, God, oh no We're so sorry Wait, what happened Yeah, look, I mean The workwife knew all about it You know, I used to make fun of them a little bit See them on their Zooms And I'd be like, hey

And yeah, the new to a mate and that, didn't quite realize that it sort of spilled over into this, you know, emotional connection. You know, relationships dend over lots of reasons. It's always more complicated than just that, but she certainly was a big nail in the coffin. Wow. Okay. And how long ago did this happen, are they still together? That was about three, four years ago, four years ago, maybe that? Yeah, well, you said Zoom calls.

I thought, yeah, it's got... Yeah, it was all COVID, kicked off in COVID and whatnot, and then, yeah, no, not to give it now, but no. Right, okay, pretty good for someone else at work. Yeah, classic you. Picking up and drop it off. Oh, wow. Oh, anonymous, thank you for sharing.

Wow, okay. Just a friend, definitely in quotations there. Some messages in. PT trainer husband became just friends with his clients. Did not go down well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did not go done well with me. Yeah, but then also, like, they're training with these hot.

people. Yeah, they're making them hot. They're making them hot and then hotter. Yeah, they start off and they're like... Literally, what's the word? Like carving them. Like, Marangela. Yes.

Yeah. Workwives and husbands are the only way I survive work, but of course, they have to be a minga. Oh, yeah, that would be easier. Yeah. If I was a wife and my husband was at work and his work wife was an archer-a-ma-or-a- Or they're gay, yeah. Yeah, gay-minger would be double. That would be perfect.

A gay minger. They don't exist, hey. No, they don't. As a single girl, this really pays me out if I don't go under friendships of the intent of stealing your man and often struggle with women that think that of me straight off the bat.

Yeah, it's hard. It's just a weird human thing, isn't it? That we just can't. The jealousy and the idea of platonic relationships. My ex is just a friend. Gave him Climidia. And then he gave it to me. So technically, you're all friends.

Climidia friends. Climidia friends. Climidia friends. Clip friends. Clip friends. Clip friends. Clip friends. Clip friends.

Born and Haley. You've got to watch out for these Just a Friends. When did Just a Friend cause a drama? Work wives, work husbands, causing lots of riftism. George Zan. Hayme, obviously, you know, must be quite, you know, because you're good friends with Vaughan and I must be quite. Oh, always jealous.

He's always jealous. Is he worried about? Is he worried about Hayley? Fair enough. Right. If anyone's going to turn you, it'll be me. In fact, he just texts me before being like, what's Hayley doing today? Is she leaving work straight away or not?

It sounds like he's more interested in Haley. Oh, he's just like. and I'm still on the road. Actually. I could be the same. I could be the unicorn. So many messages and when did just a friend cause a raft? I told my husband to watch out for his work wife.

I put my foot down because I could tell she was a woman on a mission. He distanced himself. And a month later, she was knocked up to somebody else at work. Oh, she was. Goodness. Cruzen. Having a look around. Having a shop.

My ex gave me the ultimatum, him or my just a friend. I foolishly chose him. But I've now been married to my just a friend for seven years. Oh. The husband you, the husband you lit up. He knew. Just a friend. My ex of 14 years cheated on me twice with work, just friends.

And funnily enough, now his partner has made sure that can't happen because she is the only co-worker he has in their business. Tushay, babes, well played. Yeah, good stuff. Oh, well, yeah. My husband's male friend is constantly causing issues for us. He rings my husband. He's a male man or he's male.

No, M-A-L-L-E. But he might also deliver the mail. We don't know. No, that's why... Confirmation? I just needed you to confirm that. I didn't know. Well, we don't. We don't have confirmation. Okay. Well, it could be a mailman.

Yeah. Okay. 109, can we find out the job of this male? Okay. His pronouns are male man. He rings my husband multiple times a day just to see what he's doing. He asks to borrow money. And he's previously told me we have marital issues.

He's obsessed with us. Okay. You've got to get them some breathing room, eh? Yeah. I didn't even think about that. The boys. coming in a meddling. I knew all about my husband's workwife

and would even make little jokes about their friendship. Joke was on me when he left me for her. Yeah. A lot of these are work-related ones, aren't they? Yeah, a few of those messages. Georgia, shall we? I hope they tell them. Yeah, oh, no, because I'm not...

Should we tell him first? I'm actually not fully committed yet, so just... What? I just need to figure it out, and then we can... Not we said last night. You're in the throes of passion. Yeah. I am the friend, somebody said,

my bestie's not allowed to see me anymore. her husband said that she's banned from seeing me. It's been a bit up for five years. That sucks. I don't love that. My friends accused my husband of cheating on me at a party because he had his arm around his really good friend. The friends who accused him were drunk,

it was very, very embarrassing as I'm, you know, very happy with the relationship they have. Yeah, okay. Good. So there you go. Can I watch out, though. Get out there. Ultimately, there was a little bit more trouble than non-trouble.

Yes, I will say most of those messages were. Just through real. Of course, everybody's best. Just to feed that anxiety. Yeah, Georgia's up next. What have you got on the show today, Georgia? I was just actually looking, guys. We've got a bit going on.

Do I say some songs? Yeah, some songs. You could go to Drax Project this summer. Lots of Drake's Project stuff to give away, to be fair. You're going to play many of the Grammy Noms? Double past it. Wicked for Good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, good stuff. And get you on the draw. Thanks to New Zealand for the IHart Radio Jingle Ball. So there you go, guys. It's a bit going on. We've had that now show too, so it's not special to you. I'm kind of just done that we're kind of just... I'm talking about.

Do you want to fade her down? I'm also not committed to this relationship anymore, Georgia. Wow. Have fun with your husband. Oh. I just too, who did your tummy girl? Yeah, that was my tum-tum. That was my tun-tum-tum.

Hey guys, I reckon it was the most fun I've ever had on a show. Ah, not for me, Vaughn. Oh, no, we're even close. No, we're even close. You haven't been here long, have you? No, I haven't. Well, if you were listening and you had fun, why don't you give us a little review and a rating? Fletchhorn and Haley.
