Starting point is 00:00:00 From the ZM Podcast Network This is Fletchwyn and Haley's Big Pod Thanks to animates Making Happy Happen for Pets Good morning, happy Friday Welcome to the show Fletch Vaughn and Haley Hello
Starting point is 00:00:13 We made it We did make it Yep Top six coming up Vaughan Yeah I wrote two Which was weird
Starting point is 00:00:22 Yeah why'd you do that You hardly even write one I know I know I wrote two Well you've picked one Top six signs, our oceans are warming faster than everybody else. There's news that New Zealand oceans are warming 34% faster than the global average. Oh, it's horrendous to hear.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Is there actually a reason why? We're just down the bottom. Yeah, closest to the sun. Is it the ozone hole again? That's the ozone hole. Is it the ozone hole? Everybody's back using those 1970s fridge freezers and the CFCs. CFCs?
Starting point is 00:00:55 Was that what they called? Was that what was putting the hole in the ozone? Yeah, that was from sprays, I think. Yeah. But, well, look, okay, we've got the top six reasons coming up soon on the show. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley. Lawrence Watkins. There's a name.
Starting point is 00:01:08 There's just a normal name. He's a Kiwi guy, former librarian, apparently very softly spoken. Married the love of his life. Well, it has to be softly spoken to work in a library. Yeah, well, that's sort of key to the role, isn't it? Yes. If you had a big booming voice, Guy Williams could never work in a library. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:01:24 No, it'd be very disruptive. Yeah. So, this is going viral on. line though it happened a number of years ago. He was reading the fantastic book that is the Guinness World Records. Yes. And he was looking through being like, oh, I can't do any of this. I'm not
Starting point is 00:01:39 strong or particularly good at anything in this way. What are some records you can break easily, you know, without any skill? Yep. And what he figured out was names. Okay. Name things because all you do is just sort of change it.
Starting point is 00:01:55 So he paid $400 and decided that he was going to go for the world's longest name and that is a record he holds but now we couldn't beat it so he'll probably hold it forever because the name has taken the absolute piss he has 2,320
Starting point is 00:02:11 I believe middle names but that's easy enough for someone to beat they've just got to put up but now they put a rule up oh have they yeah yeah and they were like no we can't be doing this anymore wait New Zealand has put a rule up New Zealand has but lots of countries do as well So he has over 2,300 middle names.
Starting point is 00:02:33 So Lawrence is his first name. Watkins are last. Alan Alois, Alois, Alphagi, Alan Allurd, Elwyn, Alessandra, Ambros, Amriosa, Amios, Amiens, Amios, Amiens, Amius, Amios, Amius, Amius, Amius, Andes, Andi. It goes on. And for a while, there's Balthasar, Belize, Benedito, Benedict, Benedict, Dean, Bennett. Okay. Goes alphabetical for a bit.
Starting point is 00:02:58 And then I think he realizes he doesn't have enough. Okay. So then we start jumping around. We're back. We go from J to C for a little bit. And we go back. And then at one point he's like, I'm sick of English. He was working with a lovely Māori woman at the time.
Starting point is 00:03:11 He's like, hook me up. Right. With some Māori names. So if we scroll down to page 4 of 6 of his middle names, we start to see a little bit of Trial Māori. Here I'm seeing some Takashi, Hajimi, Abiko, Hiroyuki. Well, you're saying Japanese. Those are Japanese then.
Starting point is 00:03:28 I know, so we got Japanese. Then we head to Māori land. Then we head, because he actually, in the library as well, worked with Samoan fella. Oh, okay. So it was like... Gives some names. Yeah, To Lofa Lava.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Can I get a little bit of that? So we've got some Tufinger, Tomilo, Arona, Falini. Manatua, Tuo, Tuo, Fahatali. He's not Māori or Samo and all Japanese, by the way. No, just a white dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's Fakafiti, Harikiki, Muka, Purihu. Like, he just added them all.
Starting point is 00:03:54 So this was officially done through birth, death, marriages. Yes. Which you couldn't do now. They would straight out say no. So when he signs official documents, he will say something like, he's a Department of Justice.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I, comma, see attached documents for Christian name. Okay. And then he'll upload it. And then if he does things like on his passport, he just has the two first middle names. Okay, right. Alon Aloys.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Okay. So wild. When he got married, they have to say, as a previous marriage celebrant, you have to say their legal name. What? It took 20 minutes. Was everybody just laughing the whole time? I've been to weddings where the celebrant can't even get the first name right.
Starting point is 00:04:40 No, I know. I know rather than traverse four to five different languages over 20 minutes. Would it be annulled if you mispronounced a name or you missed a name? Annulable. I mean, no one's there. No one's there. Checking it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:56 But I was going to say, like, there's a loophole. Here's one I've just seen. We've got some Latin names. Okay. But then we've got some real doosies here. Here's a name. H-R-E-O-D. So Heriod, B-E-R-O-H-T.
Starting point is 00:05:13 I mean, that's just like he's between on his keyboard. Yeah. Yeah. When did he do this? Because... 1999. Right. And then soon after they were like, make a change to stop that happening again.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah, yeah. They just went, okay, well, we can't be doing that all the time. Because people are just going to be like, well, I'll go one more and I'll go one more. Yeah. So, yeah, it's a record he still holds, and he got his dream of being in the Guinness World Records. I mean, most people would just learn to balance something on the head, you know, for a minute, for ages, you know, like, that would be a lot easier. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, like, he wouldn't be able to say them.
Starting point is 00:05:46 You can't remember 2,000 names. Yeah, ridiculous. Play Z-M's, Flash Vaughan and Haley. Let me hit you with the headline stats. Hit us. 52% of US gamers are women and 22% of players are over 65 years old. Wow!
Starting point is 00:06:04 Could you imagine playing Caller Duty and like, I don't know? With Grandad. With Grandad. And he's like, yeah. Well, it's a bit like, oh, this is a thing. When I was a kid and we'd go to Anzac Day services, there was the odd World War I vets still hanging around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And lots of World War II. And lots of World War II. And now, how many World War II vets could we possibly have? They'd have left. Wouldn't be many. That has to be over 100 years old now to have served in that war. There was a, you know, even like... That's given me a little bit of the ping in here to watch Band of Brothers. Oh, I could be in.
Starting point is 00:06:37 One of the greatest television series. We'll go away for our friendship weekend. Oh, we're not watching movies. Is there time to watch a couple episodes of Band of Brothers? No, we've got... Have you got activities planned? Haley and I have got activities planned. There's no time to watch Band of Brothers.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Imagine if we go all the way to... Could we watch it on in transit? There's no time for that too We're driving You'll get car sick Oh yeah we'll get car sick Also you're in the back seat I'm getting in the front seat
Starting point is 00:07:03 I absolutely can't sit in the back seat You're really in time Right next to the mini fridge In the tent though Vaughn makes up the fact that he has car sickness So he always gets the front seat And it's bullshit I've never seen him sick in a car
Starting point is 00:07:13 It's because I always sit in the front seat Yeah yeah yeah Yeah always gets his way It's not fair Get the back prove it Vomit in my car The average gamer worldwide is 41 years old Italy has the oldest average at 50
Starting point is 00:07:25 and China has the youngest at 31. 51% of gamers are male, 48% of female, that's worldwide. Now, do they, are they counting? Because technically, producer Shannon, you play... Here we go. You're going to ask for the definition of gaming.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I was going to say the definition of gamer. Because I'm imagining the big curved screen headphones of the little microphone on the whole thing. Whereas it's Shannon getting up at 4 in the morning to do her farm. I love my heyday, but also I do word all every single day. I've got 150 days streak. No need to brag.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So what's a gamer? Gaming is now encompassing mobile and casual games such as Wordle, Solitaire or Sudoku. You're a gamer. I'm a gamer. Look at a candy crush too. Wait, that makes my mum a gamer. Yeah. Because she does Wordle every day.
Starting point is 00:08:09 The most popular gaming devices of mobile phone or tablet expanding the definition and demographics of gamers. Oh, yeah. And your auntie's, your auntie playing Candy Crush on the plane. That's me. Yeah. I'm Candy Crush on the plane. I can't wait to fly to Melbourne today and play some candy. crash.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Yeah. But the real game is your big set-ups with the talking and the PlayStation and stuff, they'll probably reject that term, that definition of gamer. One big family. It's a quite a welcoming community. Gamers report that they play to reduce stress and loneliness, boost creativity and mental sharpness, and strengthens problem-solving and teamwork skills.
Starting point is 00:08:43 76% of gaming improved their problem-solving abilities, according to them, and half-set it benefited their professional development. That's somebody's been caught playing word at work. Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. All I do when I play wordel is just constantly reminded how many five-letter words I've completely forgotten existed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 But also, like, how crazy is it going to be that, you know, as the younger or anyone that's grown up with gaming does get to retirement age, you're just going to sit in a rest-time playing games, right? Dude, how great would be? Like, old-school land party, but a Halo 3. Just run the rest-box. Just caught it up with the boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Get a land party guy. Yeah. I hope the Riemann's got good Wi-Fi or some land plugs. They'll burn it. out. Yeah, they'll burn it through. Yeah. Dedicated. I'm, I reckon the Romans are going to come with a dedicated lane. And some gaming chairs. Yeah. And the gaming chairs will have to, like, I don't know, have a kind of a tilt up to get us out of it. To get you out of the gaming chair. And off to the toilet. Or just a mobile gaming chair to get into the toilet.
Starting point is 00:09:39 What do you think people are going to go to go wheeze in our nappies that we're wearing? Actually, that's perfect for a lovely long campaign, isn't it? Yeah, the AI nurse will roll in and the robot A. A.O. Nurse will just roll in and wipe us. Play. ZM, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, last night when Vaughn Smith wrote two top sixes, one of them was the top six stamps, the top six things our stamps would smell like.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Because in France, there's been a collector's edition, French croissant-scented stamp release. Is it like those scratch-and-sniff stickies from the 90s? Yeah. Oh, my God, I loved those. But last time I sent a postcard, it was $2.70 or $2.90 to send a postcard, my man.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Didn't they say this week They're going to scale back post days even more In some regions I think we're on three days a week Rural and I think we're going to be down to two days a week Can't be bothered with you I don't even remember Like I'll send couriers all the time
Starting point is 00:10:34 But like when's the last time I sent a letter Like I can't even remember I empty my mailbox just when I start to see It's sort of stuffing out the slot That's why your parking fines Go to Bay Corp Horn Yeah And it's why your house keeps getting robbed
Starting point is 00:10:48 Because it doesn't look like anyone's home Yeah That's always abandoned Always remember, like, that was the thing of someone in the neighbourhood went away. Could someone please empty my mailbox? I don't know if people knowing I'm not. That's a sign that other way. They had their ads on TV, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah, about that. Kurtz closed, mailbox stuffed. So they apparently not the first time the French have delved into a sniffy stamp. Apparently they had scratched and sniff stamps that smelled like baguettes ahead of the summer games in 2024. Oh. What does the baguette smell like? Just bread. Bread.
Starting point is 00:11:18 But Frisson has that buttery. that buttery smell of yum. What's your best croissant? Because sometimes I will go a chocolate but then sometimes when you get a real rich almond with the paste in the middle
Starting point is 00:11:32 but then with a nice ham and cheese Oh, ham and cheese. Yeah, ham and cheese every time. Ham and cheese. Do you know who does a good ham and cheese daily bread? They do, oh, oh, sorry, lost words. Now you need a croissant, don't you? I do need an croissant.
Starting point is 00:11:46 What do they call a ham and cheese croissant? because don't they call crock madame or whatever Yeah, that's a sandwich though That's a sandwich Cuisant jamon Couson and jamon
Starting point is 00:11:58 Yeah, jambon Jeanbon Jean-Mont Jolmage Haveromache Oh man Having just been in France And I'd like to just sort of reflect
Starting point is 00:12:09 That I did go to France Must be nice Yeah When it was They do do croissants fantastically I mean Well it's theirs
Starting point is 00:12:17 isn't it I'd be disappointed to go the way of France to be like, I've got a better one back home. What happens sometimes? How good is an real oily croissant You're eating? Yeah, they've got to be buttery. And the oil from the cheese has almost also oiled out?
Starting point is 00:12:31 That's going to be a problem for the stamps, though. You don't want your lead to getting oily. Greasy. Oh, I hope the stamps aren't greasy. What would our stamps smell like? As soon as I wrote a top six. I've got some ideas to better room. Lamb?
Starting point is 00:12:43 Lamb. Yeah, didn't even have lamb. You didn't have lamb. Mint and sauce. Mint and sauce. Mint and loa. Ham. I had Lamington rather than Pave
Starting point is 00:12:50 Oh, yep A raspberry I had sausage roll You know, sometimes Sausage rolls A real punchin Yeah, or they're just a tomato A tomato sauce
Starting point is 00:12:58 Scratch and Sniff stamp Oh yeah like a waddy's tomato sauce It'd be good Or your hands after you've been fishing Fish and Chip Shop Fish and Chip Shop would be a good one Like oil and fish Like grease and fish
Starting point is 00:13:09 This is great Well that's almost got a bonus top six in there This would have been great If we still posted letters Yeah Who's doing that a day No one Play ZDM's Fletch, Worn and Haley.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Play ZM's Flethorn and Haley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the top six. Kiyoda and good morning. Shocking news. That New Zealand oceans are warming 34% faster than the global average. Why? Do they know? Multiple reasons.
Starting point is 00:13:44 All the hot water goes to the bottom. The hot water comes to the top, like hot air. Right. But we're actually the Earth's upside down. So we're at the top, not the bottom? Yeah. Wait, so we're tops all this time? We've been tops sometimes.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I thought because we're at the bottom, we're the bottom. Yeah, we're the tops. Yeah, right. No, we're the tops. Okay. No, it's climate change. We're seeing it around us. Ocean current flows. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:10 You know how we're getting slammed by more storms and stuff? Yep. It's all to do with ocean currents. Flows, winds. You know me, I like to look on the positive things in life. Lovely to get into the water. This just means we've got less cooking time when it comes to seafood. Because it's already slightly saute.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That was one of the ones on today's top six. So you have to come up with number three now. You're a funny guy. Funny guy. That's the new rule. If anyone blows any of the top six gags, they've got to come up with one on the spot. I don't know if I can just come up with one on the spot.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Also, you're probably going to say number one at number three, and then you're going to have to come up with the number one and a number three. It's not. No, that's on you. It's a cycle. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'll get into it then. The top six signs our oceans are warming faster than everyone else.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Number six on the list. The whales are skinny now because they don't need the blubber to keep themselves warm. Oh, yeah. Oh, they're shreds. They're actually really quite hot. Like, must land. Yeah, no, I did. I saw one in Kikata a few weeks ago and it was on Ozempic.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Oh, it was so ripped. Imagine trying to get a little Ozempic needle through all the blubber though. You'd have to do an Ozepic harpoon. Yeah, yeah. The wows of me like, my grandfather told me about this. And they're like, man, I'm not hungry for krill.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I don't even think about krill. I'm hardly touching my krill. I am hardly touching my krill. Number five on the list of the top six signs, our oceans, don't worry. You don't have to come up with number three. I'll change it slightly. Number three, number five on the list of the top
Starting point is 00:15:38 six signs, our oceans are warming faster than everyone else. The octopus is carrying two sun umbrellas, three bottles of sunscreen, two water bottles, and a lububu. Oh, God. Of course. Just because everyone's got a lobubu. Everyone's got a libubu.
Starting point is 00:15:50 One of those eight octopause arms has to be for a labub. Yeah. God, you'd go through a whole pump bottle of sunscreen if you're an octopus. But imagine trying to put it on, but you keep sucking yourself. You know what I mean? Each time. Getting stuck to yourself, I think, is the better way I've put it at that. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Imagine trying to put on sunscreen and end up sucking yourself. Yeah. Yeah. I did sort of get, you know, but confused. Number four on the list of the top six. our oceans are warming faster than renounce. The fur seals have all got Brazilians. Oh, yeah. Too warm, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:22 The fur that have had all that ripped out. Front and back. I look at pretty good, too. Yeah, nice, nice. Get down on a fur seal. God, the whales are on his end pick. The fur seals are getting Brazilian. A bald?
Starting point is 00:16:34 Furseals would be getting laser treatment for hair removal, but of course, then they can't be in the sun. Yeah. And they've got no choice. Number three on the list of the top six signs, our oceans are warming faster than they've renounce. the muscles come pre-steamed. Yeah, nice, nice.
Starting point is 00:16:48 I kind of already said that one. Yeah, anyway. Sort of feels like Flit already made that joke. Yeah, yeah. Okay, did he make it last night at 8.58 when the email was sent? No, I was in bed, actually. You were probably a slu asleep. It was fast asleep for an hour by then. Son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Number two on the list of the top six signs, our oceans are warming faster than we're an hour. We haven't seen an iceberg since that one that we put that sheep on. Yeah, that was wild we did that, eh? Silly. R.P. Shrek, the sheep. G, the real one. Yeah, he was the real one. And for those that don't remember,
Starting point is 00:17:19 or maybe you're listening to the show from overseas on the podcast. Google Shrek the sheep, New Zealand, 2000. I don't know when it was, but there was a large iceberg that had broken off and was down the south, off the coast of Dunedam, was it?
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yep. And they flew a giant sheep and put it on the iceboard. There wasn't a giant sheep. They shrieked the sheep, the story of the back story, Shrek the sheep was head gone missing in the high country and hadn't been shaved for something like seven years.
Starting point is 00:17:43 And it was crazy. like he looked insane. Yeah. And was kind of friendly. And they shaved them, they auctioned off his wall for charity, right? And then he became like a little bit of a celebrity, got flow into an iceberg in a helicopter.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Wild age. He stood on the ice wheel, it was just like, this is wild, probably the wildest adventure of sheep's ever had. Why have you done this to me? And now take me home. And he died on June 6th,
Starting point is 00:18:06 2011 and Taras. A moment for Shrek. A moment for Shrek. And number one on the list of the top six. signs, our oceans are warming faster than everyone else. You know that thing where you run across the hot sand to get to the cold water? Yep. The water's hotter than the sand now. Oh God, so you're going to run back out.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah. For some relief. It's a whole thing. That's today's top sucks. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. WestJet, which I think is a low-cost carrier. Yeah, it sounds as, it's giving, the name's given cheap. It's giving big, we didn't spend much money on the name. Yeah. Nor will we spend much money on the plane.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah. So, um, they, are going to introduce the ability to pay to recline your seat and they're doing this that's a hot guy by only offering a few rows with premium seating that reclines so if you want I'm guessing it'll be the the rows in the middle to the back of the plane won't be able to recline and those rows have the least always have the least amount of room but I'm going yes I'm in a least amount of room space but also now I know the person in front of can't recline. So I'm almost like, win-win.
Starting point is 00:19:17 It's win-win. Because when you're in economy and the seat reclines, it's horrible. It's unreal how much they can get in your lap. You have to recline your seat, and then the person behind you hates you. It's a domino effect.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And so everybody's reclining. Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, we've got a couple of business class regulars over here. I'm just saying everyone else who's listening to the show. The working man, such as myself, who's represented here on the show.
Starting point is 00:19:43 What, you love someone lying in your life? lap. Oh, we don't mind, mate. We're on there for a, we're just looking forward to getting where we're going. A couple of burbies, please. Nobody likes a seat recliner. No. Nobody. Do you know what I hate? Because I'm flying to Melbourne today. I hate when people recline on a flight to Melbourne or Sydney,
Starting point is 00:19:58 it's three hours. Get a crap. And it's during the day. A crap. That's, the minute you're on the plane, recline. No. Not to Australia. I'll recline to Wellington. It's a long, I'm a Wellington. I'm a prank. I'm a prank. I'm not a prick. You're a prick. I paid for a seat. I got a little back issue here. I'm just recline a smidge.
Starting point is 00:20:15 It's never that comfortable. No, it's not, but neither sitting jerk upright. Oh, it is. It is. Like, don't, don't, don't behind you. So basically they've reconfiguring their planes, this WestJet, and they're going to have three seat classes. And basically, it's like a premium extra legroom seat. That'll give you a recline.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Every other seat won't recline. I love that. You'd almost go that seat. Yes, I would, so that I knew. I'm like this, but the person in front of me is not going to go jamming it back. Yeah, there are only 12 seats on the plane that recline. Must be nice. Must be nice.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I'm in a recliner. But even then, it's still economy. Like, you're still only... The person also reclines in front of you. It's going to be horrible. The first row of the not recliners is going to be the worst. This is what I was thinking. You're a non-recliner with a recliner in front of you.
Starting point is 00:21:12 They better be a buck. Yeah, they've got to be cheaper. Did it say the degree? How far back it goes? No, it doesn't. It doesn't say the degree. Because that's always a big one too. Because there are, you know those websites where you can check airline seating to see, like, there are certain seats that, like, some planes don't have windows in that row, some seats have extra leg room.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I think it's Eerloper is one of those websites. It used to be seat maps, but I don't think they are updap. I don't think they're updap. I don't think they update that website anymore. But, yeah, websites, all those websites have the pitch and inches. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So you can work out before you book a flight if it's long haul. How much their head is going to be rested on your tits for 12 hours?
Starting point is 00:21:57 There's actually a head-to-tip ratio. So you put it in your cup size, so you say, oh, you know, I'm a 14D. Yeah. And then you say you're high or whatever, and then they say how close to the tit the head will be. It's perfect. Play Z-M's flesh-won and Haley. There is a Excuse me
Starting point is 00:22:14 I'm just going to clear my throat Thank you There is a dating app called The League I don't know what the league spin on the dating app is but it's not big in New Zealand You've got to be a league player maybe

Starting point is 00:28:24 Anyway, I did. So four years, I haven't had curtains. Yeah, weren't you hanging some like Kama or warehouse sheets? When I did, I went to the warehouse and I got the thinnest black sheets I could find, and I bought a couple of them, and I cut them into strips. and then they were nailed to the top of the trim around the windows and doors and that is how I have survived
Starting point is 00:28:47 and then yesterday the day I got curtains I've got curtains in store amazing I tell you what it's like you just don't realize the power of a curtain nothing makes you appreciate curtains more than having a stanza in your life sounds curtains
Starting point is 00:29:05 now speaking a little Latin there what I meant to say is a period of your life with no curtains. They don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone, you know? Yeah. And they pay paradise and put up a... Curtain lot.
Starting point is 00:29:16 This lovely set of curtains. Yeah. It is a game changer, guys. Curtains. Who knew? Well, we all knew this because we all have them. I don't think you realise, like, Fletch, I would come to your house and I would stay the night and then I'd pull down the curtain and be like,
Starting point is 00:29:28 heaven forbid, it's lovely and dark in here. Is there an invention? There surely would be. Some sort of curtain magnets. What do you mean? My curtains go together, but then they have a little gap. Yes, some people do put magnets in the little seam. Yes, in the hem.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I would be a huge fan of just getting some light magnets. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And you clip the hotel curtains, it's a game changer.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Yeah, game changer. What was so nerve-wracking is, so I got these made because I've got odd-sized windows and doors. and feet. One's a six and ones are ten. And I stuffed one of the shoes. So I was so nervous because I measured it and no one checked it. Oh. I measured the windows.
Starting point is 00:30:23 You're getting them to come around with that little laser thing they're put in the corner. No, Haley Jane Sproul, on her own, got out the tape measure. No, that seems like something a professional should do. Insanity, eh, that I did. And they were like, do you want us to double check it? And I was like, nah. And then Nick Minut, like it's all just kind of rolling around. Damn it, he caught it.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Don't neck minute. I tried to keep going so fast. I actually got some music to play in the background, Fletch, of Haley's triumphant measuring of a curtain space, doing it all by herself. Lucy Lou. My girl Drew. With my girl Drew. Why is this a song?
Starting point is 00:30:57 Cameron D and Destiny. Charlie's Angels come on. Independent woman. Oh, okay. Yeah, good. You're good from you. I measured these windows. Huge doors.
Starting point is 00:31:07 You know in those doors, they're huge, odd sizes and stuff, and I had to measure this, da-da-da, and I sent it all off. And then someone just accepted that I had done it right. And then when they turned up yesterday and the curtains came out, and the installer was there, I was like, oh, holy shit. Like, what if this is wrong? And did the installer say it was the good right size? He said, I measured things perfectly.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Oh, because this could have easily... And Haley Jan Sprow. This could have easily been a story about how you mismeasured your curtains. I know, and then I had like skinny little curtains on a wide window slits or something. And then you really need the curtain magnets. No, no, no, absolutely perfect. I nailed it. Honestly, I've never felt so, I've never felt so masculine.

Special occasions, it's nice to feel a bit more put together, but I usually relish washing it off, way more of a skincare girl now. Yes, how good is the skincare regime? Says a guy who washes his face with St. I've's apricot for its drug. I think it's so good. It just makes my face feel so smooth.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Are you the only one using Sanives? Excuse me. I was on my word of Sanives. I've been a man with seven wives. Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack had seven cats. Each cat had seven kittens. How many people were going to Sanibes?
Starting point is 00:48:04 Me? Signed up for all the bottles. Merida said it took me till age 32 to realize I'm not a makeup girl and it doesn't mean I'm bad. It doesn't mean I'm being a bad girl. No. No, you're being a very good girl. No.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Don't do that. No, shouldn't have. Well, today's still a little regret. Today's silly LePol. We ask girls, how often are you wearing makeup? And 38% of you, the biggest reply only on special occasions. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Six seven.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Please stop. Like, I'm cringing like he's my dad. Yeah, you just said stop six times. Say it one more two? Six seven. Have your kids started asking you to drop them around the corner from things? Getting close. It's getting really close.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I actually drive up on the curb. And beep. And beep. And beep. How many times do you beep? Six, seven. You did that? Sorry, I did do that.
Starting point is 00:48:52 You did that. Now, we need to discuss this groom who was photographed at his own wedding. In the background, beautiful. I mean, we've got lights, we've got, you know, silk drops. It's beautiful. A lot of money. Money has not been spared on a wedding like this. People are dancing, having the time in their lives.
Starting point is 00:49:08 And here's the groom answering a work email. A! That's a brightly lit wedding dance floor. I know. That's fluorescent. Where are they? Overely lit. Let's calm that.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Even I love a bright. light. That's over the top. I know. But he was answering emails. He's a co-founder of a tech company, an AI startup company. Oh, you've got to be there for the rest of the team. He might have needed to sign
Starting point is 00:49:34 something off. He had to they uploaded this to LinkedIn, the co-founder being like his reputation for being a dedicated worker. Here he literally is at his own wedding when a customer needed some help. Oh, right, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:48 On, he just happened, it just went in there and was like, here we go, I'm going to do it. Not me, it's not me. I wouldn't do that. No. And as you can imagine. For a start, who takes an iPad to a wedding? You're not a kid going out for dinner with your parents. To get the photos, maybe Nan, maybe, you know, mum and dad had it.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Hold up the phone. Yeah. I love it. Oh, God, we were down. That's right. We saw a, oh no, what? No, we saw the sweet old couple. Sweet old couple.
Starting point is 00:50:14 And the guy was standing there getting a photo of the Viaduct Harbor. It was a lovely, beautiful day. And I said to the lady first, I said, oh, would you like to be in the photo and I'll take a photo of you both on this giant iPad? Holding it. No, no, no, no, we'll be all right. No, we don't. And then you asked again.
Starting point is 00:50:30 I was like, no, honestly, jump in and we can get one with the both of you. No, no, no, it's fine. And then I was relieved because then I didn't have to be seen holding an iPad taking a photo. Yeah, and then we walked away and I said, do you think they thought we were going to steal their iPad? 100% they thought we were going to steal their iPad. So the only reason, otherwise they would have got a photo. Yeah. Now, people were saying that I was at this wedding.
Starting point is 00:50:48 And I'll tell you what, the wife was not happy. Yeah. Because I'd be like, excuse you, like, this is one day. And that's what I want to know. At your wedding, on your wedding day, did you have a fight? Or did you attend a wedding where the bride and groom had a big old? There's always a Brianzilla, right? There's a Brianzilla stories.
Starting point is 00:51:06 But you just think it's like the one day that you hope that you wouldn't have a fight is the day that you're vowing to spend together forever. It's a high-stress day, though. So many things go wrong. Yeah. It's almost like, why bother? Love is. dead.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Wait, I thought Love had done a U-turn. I've ripped another fat U-E. So now Love's back on the highway to being dead. Yeah. Oh, goodness, okay. I can U-E at any moment.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I don't last in infatuation. That is... Thriving. That's thriving. That's a 10-lane speedway. That's a 10-lane speedway with no speed limit. It's an automobile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Last is a German-O-Bahn. Love is dead. Yeah, okay. But the wife, I want to know if you had a fight on your wedding day or you attended a wedding with the bride and groom or whoever were fighting.
Starting point is 00:51:54 A bride is not happy that her groom was answering work emails on their wedding day. And someone also just wanted to say that I'm in fact on the roundabout of love. Okay. Okay, so you're picking a...
Starting point is 00:52:12 I'm sure on the exit. Right, okay. Right. But you're kind of pulling towards last. Okay. Fair. You're taking the lust exit. Okay. But I can always turn it back because at the end of lust is another roundabout
Starting point is 00:52:23 and I can look back to the loved one. Okay. Oh, is that sort of a series of roundabouts? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. An interconnected highway. I'm in a super city of sorts. Okay. Some messages in.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Heard about a guy who got married and his new wife went home with someone else the night of the wedding. Shut up. Needless to say he's on to marriage number two now. What? Probably wouldn't do it again. No.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I'd be on the... A bit of PTSD attached to wedding. Number one. I'll be taking the lovers get exit on that one. My best friend had a massive fight with her newlywed husband on the night of their wedding. A number of years ago, so I can't remember, but I'm fairly sure she left and locked him out of the lodge they were staying in, which was at the Thames Coast, so not a lot around. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. And is that marriage still together? Unsure.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Are you going to need a follow-up. Let us know 249? I have ADHD, and on the night of our wedding, my husband whispered in my ear, thanks for ruining my night after I accidentally got destroyed. and spoke to somebody else. What? ADHD or not, I'd say that's an inappropriate thing for anybody to say. Yeah, that's a prick move. Also, most brides and grooms or whoever,
Starting point is 00:53:31 like, you barely see each other the whole day. You're talking to other people the whole time. I was at a wedding where the groom got so sloshed. He ended up in a fist fight with his new brother-in-law. Safe to say the wedding shut down after that, and I'd imagine there was quite a disagreement. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I went to a wedding where the bride combed after speeches. and woke up after everybody went home, so there couldn't have been a fight. But I'd imagine there would have been words the next day. That's because people don't eat. That's the problem. Yeah. Don't read that top text.
Starting point is 00:54:00 No fight, which is wild when you hear the rest of the story. But my husband got so drunk at the reception that he combed out on the bed where we stayed in Starfish style, couldn't wake him or move him. I ended up sleeping on the floor in a full wedding dress as I couldn't get out of it because it was a two-person get out. I would be livid. I'd be sort it out.
Starting point is 00:54:16 There'd be words. We would have worse We've been married nine years And I still haven't let it go I mean that's a healthy thing to do Yeah Simmer on that for nine years Forever
Starting point is 00:54:25 Yeah My uncle-in-law punched my stepbrother In the middle of the dance floor Because he was being annoying This was at the end of the night And I, the bride Was completely oblivious to it Because I was having such a lovely time
Starting point is 00:54:36 That's good that you were Shielded Shielded from that My husband Forgot his tie And he text me While I was getting ready asking, do you know where my tie is?
Starting point is 00:54:49 Oh my God, get a grip. You knew you were marrying a man baby. I was for that. Come on. Yeah. I was 24 weeks pregnant at our wedding. So whilst everyone was vibing on the dance floor, I managed to clean up the entire reception area inside.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Oh. I had many people to tell me stop cleaning and most people got grumpy at me on my wedding day. However, no one complained when no clean up was required the following day. Don't clean up your own. Don't clean up your own room. I'm not cleaning up my room. I know you can't drink, but maybe just don't clean up, just go home.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Yeah. From your own wedding. I would. If I was pregnant at my own wedding. Yeah. That's a sentence that's never going to come true. If I was pregnant and at my own wedding. I would, I'd happily leave and go have a bath or something or just like to take my best friend and be like, can we leave?
Starting point is 00:55:36 Do you know, I'd really be keen on a 9 a.m. wedding that goes to like a reception lunch, boozy afternoon, in bed by 8? How nice would that be? Stunning. Why are we starting at 9? Why are we starting at 3? Let's start at 11 and be done by 8. Okay, absolutely. Let's start at 12 and be done by 6.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Okay, lovely. Let's not do the wedding and we'll be done. And we'll just have a couple of drinks in the afternoon and then everyone just goes home and gets the beer in a beautiful. I love that. What a great idea. What a fantastic idea. I will say 90% of these messages is because
Starting point is 00:56:12 Booze. Groome got too drunk. Really? Groom got to drunk. Did you read that one when my stepmother called my brother-in-law? Yes. Turn your thing.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Turn the marks off, we'll tell you. Okay. How good? Oh, you can't say that. We don't say that. We don't say that. We don't say either of those things anymore. You know why?
Starting point is 00:56:39 She was drunk and he wouldn't dance with her. That's the follow-up text. So he might not have even been a homosexual. She called him a fat. homosexual but a shorter version of the second word and he might not have even been but he she was drunk and he was like no thank you i don't want to dance oh my god this is just turned into um who got too drunk at the wedding and they're like my dad got sloshed play zim's fletch fawn and haley fact of the day day day day day yeah do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

She's old enough to make those sorts of decisions. Oh, my God, good for her. She won't. She doesn't love needles, eh? She'll faintly like her old man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Because that needle goes out and it stays. That was when I found out I was anemic and I was like, impossibly eat so much red meat. And they said, something's going on. And I said, well, we best ignore that until it goes away. it since. Yeah, no, God, why would you? Might be growing up something and something in there and I don't want to know about it.
Starting point is 00:57:50 But if you can donate blood, please do. Oh, please donate blood. Please do. It's very good. It doesn't actually hurt. Nah. It's actually quite fun. It is fun.

Starting point is 00:58:14 Yeah. We are doing brands with trademarked words this week. And I thought it'd finish off on one that has lapsed, since lapsed. But there was a period in the 1990s where the tooth fairy was licensed to one particular company. Really? How dare they? Dude, they filed, they like, they looked into it and they're like, no one's got. Did they tell her?

Starting point is 00:59:46 Well, she wouldn't think, I don't ever think to myself, oh, I should, I should register Haley Sproul because that's just my name. Like, the tooth fairy would be like, why would someone just type my name? Wild, like, why would someone trademark your name? Yeah, wild. That's crazy. Why would they?

Starting point is 01:06:08 although they are, becoming increasingly less so because of, you know, foods and the way society's going. But that is a big one. It wasn't just the food. It was the family and the connections. Yes, and this is why strong friends at a cellular level can help us live longer lives. So it's not just making the life that we have, however long it is richer and better. It is actually changing our cells, like what we are made up of.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Because of the benefits that it... We age better. We age much better. We have longer lives. But it slows our biological aging at a cellular level. Unless you're hanging out with really good close friends and you're just cities and our booze. Well, I will say part of why is because the benefits of, they call it a cumulative social advantage. But the benefits of socialising with strong friends is it lowers inflammation and stress.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Yes. So inflammation is also increased by things like alcohol or drugs or your bad food or bad food or. smokes or anything like that. So if your friendship is centred solely around alcohol, some of those effects could be... But the other day when we went out for your birthday lunch, we had so many lulls, like... So many lulls.
Starting point is 01:07:22 So many great lulls. I know, and then that's all just changing your actual makeup and helping us to live longer. It's good stuff. It's another good reason to remind your friends today. How much they mean to you? We'll get together and hang out with them. Nah
