Making Happy Happen for Pets
Good morning, happy Friday
Welcome to the show
Fletch Vaughn and Haley
Hello
We made it
We did make it
Yep
Top six coming up
Vaughan
Yeah
I wrote two
Which was weird
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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
Yeah, jambon
Jeanbon
Jean-Mont
Jolmage
Haveromache
Oh man
Having just been in France
And I'd like to just sort of reflect
That I did go to France
Must be nice
Yeah
When it was
They do do croissants
fantastically
I mean
Well it's theirs
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?
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
Hello
Hiley's downloading right now
Pause
Pause for download
You said they were all too young
When you saw the Warriors on the plane
I did yeah
I've seen them twice now
Funny hey
I've heard the same big as can't be churches
Oh my god
No don't make me smile
She's like, oh, they're all a bit young for me
Like they were lined up for her
Hey, you know the young ones have come prowling for the sprawling
Okay?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I know, I know.
I know those young bucks think they can tame the coves.
Oh, I know.
The only thing that turned me off is when they start talking about the 21st
they went to last weekend, anyway.
Ah, 21st season.
Okay.
Really, I was like, wow, all my friends are getting divorced and bloody.
I'm going to second marriages.
I'm going to second weddings.
It's actually your 21st Hon.
And like 10th birthday part of the age.
The birth of their first grandchild.
Anyway.
Thank God you good looking.
Don't you curse me with that.
No, I won't.
No, I won't.
Anyway, this dating app, they did a big survey of all their members.
About 1,000 respondents.
62% were women.
38% were men.
The majority, 85% were millennials.
Then Gen Z's, Gen X.

It's going to be your uniform.

Okay, so women's preferences for men will start there.
Fifth place.
Entrepreneur.
Oh, because they've probably got lots of money.
Entrepreneur and they're like some kind of...
Successor entrepreneurs, yes, but how many entrepreneurs are just...
Yeah, it's hard.
They did say entrepreneurs slash...
founder.
Oh, okay.
He's the founder of a, you know,
economical pair of shoes

To be a founder, you've got to be like a workaholic.
Yeah.
You've got to pour it all
into the founding.
But this is attractiveness, not like,
I'm with them,
and now I'm annoyed that you're never home.
Yeah.
Kind of vibe.
Okay, fourth place, which is interesting,

pair of earrings for me
okay men's preferences for women
what they find the hottest
five start at five
five lawyers
okay
now I will say
here we are. So this is good
for me. Four, creative, forward
slash media. Oh, okay, yes.
That's us. That's you. That's creative.
I'm creative and in the media. That's why
you've been such a hit on the apps. Oh my God, such a
hit on the apps, especially the young boys.
What was five, sorry? Lawyer.
Lawyer, okay. Yeah, yeah, five lawyer,
four creative media. Very expensive to take them on dates.
Yeah. And then it's the same,
because, you know, obviously they only gave them a few
categories. Tech and engineering is
third. Finance and business
is second, and then medical.
Wait, this feels like there weren't enough.
Now you've said they're all the same,
and there weren't enough options.
Yeah, because down a little bit further.
You should have been able to add your own.
The, um, um, they had analists.
That was a...
No, no, you've not pronounced that right.
Yeah.
A-N-A-L.
Yeah.
Y-S-T-S.
Y-S.
Y-S.
I think more emphasis goes on the first syllable,
Ann, and then analysts.
Analyst.
No, it's not.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Architects, CEOs.
Why wasn't C-E-S-E-E-S-E-E-E-E-E-S.
You're up higher.
Well, yeah, they get paid lots of money, didn't they?
Journalists was in their doctors, realtors.
They had a lot of options.
Okay, they've said, like, who's the best match?
Yeah.
So, like, top match pairings by Carrester.
If you are an analyst, you would go well with a CFO, a trader, or a founder.
If you are a dentist, you go well with a doctor, a realtor, or a product manager.
I mean, I don't know how they work this out.
So, thin research.
Yeah, yeah.
Thin research.
But, hey, I'm in the top four.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Big day for you yesterday, Haley.
Yes, big day for me yesterday.
I bought my house in 2021.
Wow, peak of the market.
Yes, it was.
Please don't remind you.
I'm sorry, Hayley.
Sorry, Haley.
Sorry.
Hey, whatever.
It's not even real.
Anyway, that's how I look at mortgage, Kiwi-saber.
That's like a student loan balances.
You don't actually pay them off.
I'm going to be dead.
I'm going to be dead long before I have to worry about that.
30-year mortgage, sure.
I'm out.
Yeah.
I'm out.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
I would be a huge fan of just getting some light magnets.
Yeah.
You know, that's a hotel hack, because when you stay in a hotel and there's a gap,
you go to the wardrobe and you get those little clippy, the ones that hang up.
The coat hanger pan clips.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And you clip the hotel curtains, it's a game changer.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Oh.
Draw your hands about me.
Someone said, I've been living with that internal doors in my house for the last nine months.
Oh, yeah, we did that.
Like when we moved into a half-finished house that dad was building.
It took a while to get a door.
My parents took the doors off the room when we were just getting in there, you know.
Getting up to mischief.
Yeah, that's like a punishment.
Some people lost the right to privacy.
You lose the door open, please.
Yeah.
You're like, but mum, I've got my hand down my boyfriend's pants.
Mom, I can't open the door.
What are you saying to that?
Why would you say that to me?
I'm, I'm, I'm my parents now.
I'm my parents now.
That's it.
All the doors are coming off the house.
Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
Okay, we want to know right now,
100 dial ZM, text 966, what is your fashion
when it comes to the sex
that you're attracted to. Yes.
Because... And most of these would be
clothing, fashion. We're not, we're not
talking like makeup and stuff? Would that be fashion?
No, no, no, no, no. It's just fashion.
Fashion. And accessories. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, a lot of women sharing online,
they're huge
fashion ick. Some of they're calling
hate crimes.
Okay. For example,
those jeans with the motto
leg ribs, you know, those
like, mono little...
Are they,
they're not in at the moment, though, are they?
No, but some men are still rocking around.
No.
I feel like Europeans and South Americans love those jeans.
Like they're real skinny, obviously, often they are on a very, very skinny gene.
Yeah.
Now, I will say also very high featuring quite frequently.
Oh, Vaughn.
Beanie.
Aye!
Bubba, beanie.
Bubbs.
Bubs.
No, we're not rocking it.
We're nearly moving back into Cap Territory.
And that's your hat season.
Labor weekend is,
Labor weekend, I'll move into a hat,
depending on temperature,
and I'm going to go and get some new burk and stocks.
Oh, yeah, good.
And I'll wear burks and jeans,
which is my favourite time of the year
where you still get to wear jeans,
but you get to wear them in.
I've been wearing them with socks
and they still hurt.
No, yeah, you've got to work harder there.
I wonder if you could pay someone, like,
to do that for me, so they get the blisters.
We could buy secondhand burks.
Yeah, no, I don't want someone else's toe mank.
You can pay someone else's
Toad man. Also on this list
Checked vans, the slip-on checkered vans.
We're not into those.
I've never liked those.
No, because your feet are too long.
The minute you're over a size like 10,
your feet look silly in vans because they're so skinny
and long and you look like you're wearing water skis.
Hon, I'm sorry, I don't want you to feel personally attacked.
Jorts are on here alongside flannel shirts.
I don't mind a flannel shirt on a gentleman.
I don't wear flannel shirts.
Yeah, you've got your chequered.
Yes, you do. You literally were wearing.
Oh, my Swanee Bush shirt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a jacket.
No, that's what they're meaning.
I'm feeling personally attacked.
Now, if you listen to...
I want to go to the weekend feeling okay about myself.
Well, we'll pump you back up later.
Sorry, if you, um, just emotionally.
Yep, thank you.
If you listen to Sex.Life, you know how I feel on this.

Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Guys, the list goes on.
Well, we want you to add to the list.
What is it that is a fashion it for you
for the sex that you're attracted to?
Also, this is one of those wild subjects
where women can say anything about men,
but men have to tread very lightly about what they say about women.
Yeah.
This is one of those subjects.
Almost 90% of the things we discuss.
The woman can say about anything they want about men's fashion choice.

Very funny.
Very, so you buy a new jacket,
like a dress jacket, and at the bottom where it splits,
there's genuinely a stitch
holding it together. And you've got to take it out.
And you've got to take it out. And sometimes the pocket, it looks like
it's got no pocket, but the pockets sometimes have a little...
Yeah, you've got to cut them. Because otherwise they get all
saggy baggy in the changing rooms. That's all it is.
Right. Right. That's not supposed to stay.

Yes, I can imagine Matt would hate that.
Yeah. Ah, some other

Oh, what? Burks are atrocious.
Oh, you're just saying I'm not seeing
the good dogs. People... Yeah, we've all got good dogs.
People do hate burr. I know that before
Burks were cool, people were quite ear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you wear them in, they're so comfortable.
No, you're wrong on that one.
Somebody, creaky gallia Louise, actually messaged in.

A bit too long. A bit like board short length.
Yeah.
Approaching board short.
Men, we need to be wearing short short.

or they've got the strap up across their chest
and around their waist.
I can't even choose.
That's a real Sophie's choice.
Yeah.
What about those running packs?
It's a Sophie's choice.
It is a Sophie's choice when you're running with a backpack on

Do you let the bag bounce or do you strap it down with all the straps?
Yeah.

Wow.

We love a natural face.
18% wear it every single day.
33% wear it every work day and 38% only on special occasions.

Every time they've ever been like, we're just going to put a bit of makeup on.
He's like, and he screws all the sleeves and his head on.
The minute we're finished, he's like, I need to take them off.
Well, you know, I got that eye infection that time after we had makeup on.
Yeah.
I got that stye
because it got clogged.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was pink eye.
It was because he was...
Sniffing around.
Anything is me.
Siffing around.
Some feedback.
I was a tomboy growing up, says Z,
so it wasn't a thing
unless my mum made me wear it,
in which case she put it on me.
So I never really learned
how to put it on properly.
Oh, okay.
Who teaches you how to do your makeup?
I don't know.
I still just learned.
I mean, now it's YouTube to try as in Shan X-O.
Yeah, yeah.

Pull back.
Kayla said every day, but it's only mascara.
Full face of makeup is very much for special occasions.
Gianna says, used to wear it to work every day,
but now I can't as I'm in this cost of living shit show.
It's expensive, man.
Yeah, don't waste it.
It's expensive.
Eyebrows and mascara every day, but anything else,
auto-corrected
to acting.
But anything else
is special occasions
only because my skin's sensitive
so the next day
it looks like I've been in a fight.
Jordy, I just wouldn't
have a special occasion.
This wouldn't.
Wouldn't do it.
Never have worn makeup
and when I do wear it
I feel so self-conscious

Yeah.
Okay, I'm learning.

Bees said, used to be a makeup 24-7 girlie,
but then two kids in two years forced me to prioritize
and now I honestly prefer myself without it.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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

She blows my mind, and it made me feel a little bit old today.
My daughter just said, hey, I might give blood at school today.
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.
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.
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.
I'm not allowed to because I ate that mad cow burger in 1993.
That was a delicious burger.
Well, you love it.
I didn't know I had man cow on it.
I didn't realize that the burgers that were the problem.
Apparently it is.
It is eating something.
Wow.
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?
No one's got IP on the tooth theory.
I know.
She's just, um, I'm, I don't.
A solo woman running her own company.
Working hard.
Single mum.
Single mum.
Working hard.
Like working nights.
Yeah.
So she's got to find childcare.
Yeah.
Flying around the world.
And somebody just comes in and says, I own you.
Dealing with gross-ass teeth.
Yeah.
But she doesn't wear gloves.
She said a couple of...
She said a couple of teeth when it falls out.
She's had a couple of skin infections.
She has actually.
Yeah.
She gets HIV.
She's on that drug to prevent HIV.
Yeah, good.
Yeah, good.
Teeth.
But in the teeth.
1990s Colgate
registered the tooth fairy
for a line of
chest dental products
and oral pet toys
and we're like
we now own the tooth fairy
That's so naughty
And was everyone just like
What?
So they let it lapse
Because apparently
there was massive
Cultural backlash
About owning folklore
And it just didn't
Yeah
It just didn't go well
Yeah
That backfired
Didn't it
Yeah
Oh my gosh
Imagine being like
No one knows
The tooth fairy
label
He's got to sneak around so quiet.
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?
I don't know.
Why would they, flitch or trademarking your name's together?
Yeah.
Why would they do that?
Why would they stitch and Vaughn?
Yeah, maybe start for your career.
Who knows?
Didn't work.
Didn't work.
It didn't work for the tooth fairy, though.
Because they let it lapse because of the backlash.
from people who said
you kind of can't
to that Colgate.
So today's fact of the days
in the 1990s
Colgate registered the tooth fairy
as their
owned IP
for a line of kids

and oral care talk

$10 suburb
This is how the competition works
Vorn will randomly generate a $10 suburb
In fact you've already done it
Yeah I did it earlier
And I was pleasantly surprised
Because I have
And again, this is randomly generated by ChatGPT.
I've started a new project on the side.
Randomly generates suburbs, so it keeps the lists of the ones we've already done.
So it's not likely to be a double up.
Oh, that's good.
And it pops around.
And I said randomly generate me.
A suburb.
That's the sound at Max.
And it has generated a suburb that I've had a few dealings with lately.
You'll remember I won a few auctions for some Irish pub decorations.
We headed to Hawke's Bay.
We are heading to Taradale.
Oh, I love Tuftdale.
If you are in...
Don't you're supposed to roll the art like it's a molly word.
It's not.
It's got to...
Tadale.
Tadale.
No L in the Moli language.
Terradale.
So, if you are in Terradale right now,
so you don't have to live there,

if you're passing through it.
Yeah.
If you're in the suburb of Teradale,
as defined by NZ post.
Yep.

Now I'm outside 16.
Okay, I can see ABC.
Oh, I'm going to go down the road to 16.
Now, we've just, now it is a little mistrusting of us, but we do have to run some checks, Nicola.

Yeah, people have, there's some untrustworthy individuals out there.
People have tried before.
So you're outside 16.
Okay, let me just drop my street view and run a check.
What are some of the shops around there?
I'm doing a spin.
It's like an industrial street.
Yeah.
So it's like there's like the altar shop, like the costume hire shop.
Oh, yeah.
What's over the road?
Over the road?
A house.
Yeah.
A house.
A house in the middle of the industrial area.
Okay, the house that you're looking at, there's two houses beside each other.
The one on the left, what color is its aluminium joinery?
Sorry, what now?
Like the aluminium jewellery, the window frames on the house that you're looking at, the one on the left.
Oh, what color are they?

Now, great news for us.
Strong Friendships is the suburb.
of this study. And not just a study, not a survey, a scientific study, scientific
studieth, out of the University of Cornell. Okay. Fresh, this is a fresh study. This is,
this study has only been written in the journals four days ago. And I caught it because
this, you know I read my science journals. Yeah, all the time. All the time. Yeah.
Looking at the benefits of lifelong and strong friendships, of which I would consider you too.
strong friends, genuine friends,
and I love you both very much.
I love you.
I love you too.
Fletcher's was so small.
Love you.
Love you too.
Love you too.
So lifelong friends,
I mean, obviously they add a benefit
to your life in terms of, you know,
good fun.
You know the blue zones?
You know, the blue zones?
Much of blue zones.
You know, like the places where people have longevity
in the world, like Sardinia is a place
all over the world,
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.
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.
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.
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
Kind of busy
You kind of bit to your plans
I'm a bit tired
Okay yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
But thank you for making my life longer
Because you know that I don't ever want to die ever
Yes
So I appreciate your friendship
Feeding that at a cellular level
Mm-hmm
Oh
I just too
Who did your tummy girl
Yeah that was my tum-tum
That was my tun-tum-tum-tum
Hey guys I reckon that was the most fun
I've ever had on a show
Ah not for me
