Fletchmorn and Haley Although we've got a cold snap coming I just put on the summer duvet yesterday Well that's a shame You're going to need to pop a quilt on top of that Well the winter duvet was too sweety Yeah I'd be any sweaty as at night It's well to ring heat under the winter duvet

Hey, it's sweltering. Last night, because I had Rolly tucking into my side, I ended up just sheet. Oh, okay. Sheet on top. Warm House. Well, yeah, so now at Raleigh's Haley's cat. Yeah, just in case you thought that. Well, there wasn't a man

tucking into my side last night. Oh, bloody wood. Oh, he was. Oh, he's really? Oh, yeah. Oh, bloody, hell. The top six is coming up. Yeah, guys, love is dead.

Born. Love continues to die in 2025. It's withering. It's withering. It's perched. It's withering in a dry heat. It's the end of Heath Urban and Nicole Kidman. I thought that'd be forever.

I did. I thought that'd be forever. Yeah. Maybe nothing's forever. Wow, that's profound. I'm yet to experience anything that's forever. Yeah. Anxiety.

That feels sort of eternal. Yeah, not anywhere, is he? Well, I got the top six things that. Australian said when they found out Nicole and Keith had broken up. Oh, my. Play Z-M's Flashborn and Haley. Now, this was in Botany in Auckland. East?

East. Yeah, look at Shannon. She's stoked that we're talking about East Auckland. She's a botany load. Do you say botany or botany? Botany. Botany. Great mall.

How's, is there an O bot? Botany. Botany. It's got a fern as a logo, so I think it's like the study. Botany is the study of... Yeah. Botanicals, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, botanist. It's a great area.

It does, it is a good mall. Botany is the scientific study of the physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, classification and economic importance of plants. Right. It takes a long way to get to bot bots. And when you're there, it's so far away. Bot bots, the sky tower is like a centimeter tall and I get really scared because I'm so far away from home. It was my old commute, but it was the first show spawn in my memory. The first chemist warehouse was there and it was like the big.

biggest deal when I was in high school and it was so cool. Yeah, I was like maybe 15 or something. This was a long time ago. So they tried it out and bot bots before they headed into town. Yeah, as they should. Wow. Well, Bobbots. As they want to do. As they want to do. Now, there's a little independent supermarket, so not one of your big chains. It's called smart supermarket. Do you know the supermarket? Now you don't know it? Call yourself a bot bot local. If you really screwed her face up at that one. Well, I know. I just... You don't know it? It's just like a small I prefer to dairy. Yeah, right.

We know listeners know you prefer your mints and chicken from a dairy under your apartment building. Yeah, and only just enough for today's meal because it's not enough room in the freezer or fridge. So at this smart supermarket and bot-bots in Auckland, east Auckland, miles away from anywhere else, there were some shoplifters. Goodness.

Stealing. Stealing food and goods from this little supermarket. And that's when workers took the law into their own hands and they started a bit of a scuffle outside the shop trying to get the stuff back. They did have managed to get quite a bit of it back. Oh, good, okay. Yeah, you can see a video.

The video is quite funny for one good reason. What kind of stuff is it because, like, are they just putting it back on the shelves? Yeah, 100% you're just putting it back on the shelf. What if it's a pack of mince though? No, it was only gone for like a coupley minutes. As long as no one penetrated the plastic wrap. Yeah.

Oh, you know, the mints can go back in them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, the workers come out and they're scuffing. and shuffling around trying to get the stuff back and that is when one of the shoplifters there's a little gaggle of them one of the shoplifters is accidentally or intentionally it's hard to tell

pants and that he loses his pants and his little bot bot comes out oh really he's not wearing undies he's not wearing undies or the undies came down with the pants oh I don't know yeah it's hard to tell it's sort of a track short I will just I've just zoomed into the photo but his bot bot I can see his whole bot How shame is that?

Shame on your undies. Why isn't he lifting up his pants to hide his ass? Because he's in a scuffle. His hands are full of goods that he's stolen and he's been pantsed outside. Maybe that should be the punishment for shoplifters. Getting publicly panced. In public.

I will also say someone's lost a jandel in the scuffle. That sort of crossed the street. How embarrassing, eh, when you're trying to commit a crime. Yeah. You need your bots hanging out? I love that we saw the story and we're like, oh, it's in Auckland, it's in New Zealand. I know.

Yeah, we thought it was just... New Zealand energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's giving big American energy. Yeah. Smart supermarket's absolutely wearing it in his Facebook page reviews. Is that? Give us some reviews.

Well, this is an interesting one. Went to buy eggs this afternoon. This is Jackie's review. Went to buy eggs. Found that the price tag said that each person can only buy one tray. That happened? We had an egg shortage for a while. Yeah, but this was July 9th this year.

Oh, okay. Okay. Weren't their egg shortages then? We did. Was it this year? I can't remember. Earlier in the year. God, just one egg shortage goes into another.

I know. And time flies. I paid for two trays of eggs and the clerk said that I couldn't buy two trays because of the boss's rule. But I said my mother's waiting in the car due to mobility problems. One tray is for mother. One tray is for me. The clerk said, sorry, it's the boss's rule.

So I had to be the person with mobility problems to walk into the store to buy it. They're saying the person would be. Oh, right. Yeah. The point is that each tray of eggs. eggs cost $18.88 which is not cheaper than other supermarkets, so I know why this rule

so I know why this rule is that. They mean it is cheaper than other supermarkets. Yeah. The supermarket has too many rules. They say this supermarket has too many rules. Too many rules. If my family has 100 members and each person is limited to buying one tray according to their rule, wouldn't the store be paralyzed if we all turned up an individually

bought a tray of eggs? No, I think the store... But your whole family's got a tray of eggs per person. I don't know if that whole family's getting through all those eggs, to be honest. That's a lot of eggs. A lot of eggs. That's so many eggs. Yeah.

Thousands of eggs. Okay. Okay. Well, reviews aside. Yeah. They managed to get most of their stuff back. The police got involved in the end. Yep.

But, yeah. Okay. These other reviews, apparently the staff can be quite savage. Yeah, good. I kind of like, maybe they were the ones that pulled his pants down. I love this sentence from the news report. Staff tried to stop the man getting back inside and, comma, with his hands full. comma, the man's shorts sagged down, exposing his buttocks.

His bot-bots. So good. His bot-bots and bot-bots. Bot-bots and bot-bop. Play Z-M's Fletch Vaughn and Haley. You could have had a sick day. Which brings me nicely to what we're going to talk about now in a seamless segue. Absolutely not.

I'm not sick. Well... It's so ridiculous that you don't take any of your sick leave. Yeah. Why don't... I just don't get sick, do I? I mean, I had a bit of a sniffle last week. Do you know what I mean?

take it take it we'll be all right i know you'll be all right okay i just like working it's fine it is when we have fun working don't we yeah can you stop you when you're plucking my monobrow monowbrow when you pluck your monowbrow when you pluck your monobrow take your hand away from the microphone i do that i'm just trying to get you know that you're plucking your monobro stubborn hair well there has been a cultural shift in the attitude towards sick days 31% of americans that were surveyed say showing up for sick is no longer admirable and only 25% think it's, it impresses the bosses. Showing up to work, sack, yeah.

Like when you're sick and you're like, I'm still going to come into work, boss. We've got to make the car parts to keep the cars being made. You actually just sound like a sort of an old school radio host. Well, we're going to turn up to radio. We're going to play the songs. We're going to play the ads. Yeah.

We're going to give a shout out to our show sponsor, uh, campus warehouse. Uh, their spring frenzy mega sale ends today. Thank you, Bourne. You could get some viral X. You can get a virus to keep you going I wouldn't take virulics on an empty stomach I did the other day

I had the dirt perps I had dirt perps Yeah well you shouldn't take Anyone have a little bit of food I'm a little bit of food I'm a little bit of an apple but it's not enough Well Gen Z and millennials are the ones Likely to view sick colleagues

As selfish by dragging their sickness Into the workplace Do you reckon COVID's shifted this Yes Because it used to be Unless you are dead Get your ass to work And then with COVID everyone was like

stay away. 57% say their expectations around illness changed since the pandemic and 70% are more careful about hygiene and exposure. If someone's got a little sniffle at work, they'll give them a wide boof. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But now when I see someone with a mask, I'm always like, oh, so you're sick and you've got COVID and you're out.

And you're here, yeah, you go home. And you're on the plane. Yes. Thanks for that. I'm the same. It's definitely an attitude shift. Like, I mean, we are, every now and then we'll come to work with a bit of a sniffle or a something.

But some people do take the piss with sick. I know for people that take the piss with sick days. Oh my God, me too. We used to do it that like we had sick leave and then if you hadn't taken it by Christmas, he's just like take a few days off here and there. Do you know what I mean? Like clock it out before it refreshes for the year.

Yeah, yeah, it disappears. It doesn't carry over. Some people have, some workplaces do. Oh, do they? We should call it Decemberitis. Decembris. Yeah, it's a terrible taste. Yeah, yeah.

Terrible taste of December. itis. Yeah, yeah. Ross, I can't. I can't come in. I actually don't think the sameboitis needs any symptoms. I think it's just a mental thing. I think you've used all yours as well. You've used everything. Yeah, oh man, I have derained my leave. Yeah. Can I borrow some of yours? Is that how it works? See, I would love to be able to like sell my sick days. I'll pay. Really? Not a day's wage, but I'll pay like. But that's what it's worth. Yeah, but I'll like, friends discount. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, okay.

I'll give you a little bit of something for a bit of your leave. Right. Just like a day here or there. Because you're not taking it. Yeah, but then you know I'll sell mine and give it all to you and then I'll get really sick. Yeah, and we'll be like, see it work, homie. Play ZDEM, Fletchforn and Haley.

I look like I've got a swollen arm. Hey guys, stop pulling my thighs. Swollen arms, okay?

And like, until you zoom in. It's sort of like round and puffy. It looks like, oh, God, it's swollen arms. It does with these little nubber. We're like one of those internet photos. Yeah. Oh, look, it looks like... It takes ages to realize what it actually is.

It does. That's my thigh. But it's your thigh. But you just... It doesn't look like it because it looks like your leg. with fingers. It looks like my legs would also be going that way

because I've sort of twisted. Yes. Yeah, I know. It's so crazy. So I had to tell a lot of people that know that's Haley's thigh. That's actually just my fingers and Haley's leg.

Yeah. So good though. Because it's also half your fingers are covered so they do look like stumpy little fingers coming out of a, yeah, sort of puffy. A puffy leg, yeah. Yeah.

But no, my arm is fine and it's just Haley's leg. That, I will say, in the photo, to go in, I was having a sort of a pineapple-y coconut-margarita, and it was delicious.

Flech Fott and Haley, silly little pole, silly little poe, it is so silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, that the silly little poe, that a silly little poe, silly little poe, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Well, silly little pole today is about AI taking your jobs.

That's the classic South Park episode. Yeah, it's pretty crazy, though. It's happening so fast. Yeah, for sure. I think faster than a lot of people imagine. And, like, entry-level jobs as well. Yeah, your clerks and your admin and your data entry. Straight out of uni jobs.

Yeah. Just not there. I'd like to see AI learn how to fold a t-shirt. shirt. That was my straight out of uni job. Yeah. Fashion. I reckon there's already machines that can fold their shirts. There are, but not every store is going to install them. No.

You know? So what jobs are the greatest recipe been automated by 2035? A product marketing manager, graphic designer, marketing analyst, SEO specialist, BTL marketing. You've just mispronounce that. Oh, sorry, marketing analyst, SEO specialists, video content editor, radio promotions manager? Excuse you? Excuse me. Excuse me, what?

What was the one before that that you said? I don't know. Video content editor. You said graphic designers, but I was reading an article the other day that at the moment, graphic designers have a lot of work because they are going over all of the crap and fixing up that AI is doing. It is crap. You can tell, like, a mile away. Same with those videos.

It's got this kind of like tone to it, and you just know that it's a fake AI. So the most ad risk is the copywriter. Officially facing the bleakest future, this job received an AI replacement risk score of 85%. The people that write ads. Right ads and just write like copy for written ads or radio ads or anything. Ask AI now to write an ad for... Hi there.

Supporting local businesses. Just name a shop. Haley's shop. You've got a shop. Oh yeah. Haley's left-hand scissor shop. Yes, and it's only left-hand... Radio ad?

Yeah, sure. For a shop that sells exclusively left-handed scissors. Left-handed scissors. Because this is a business idea I've been sitting on for a while and I'm happy to you give me a platform. You bring up some jingle music. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what you'd Google there. Cesar shop.

It's called Haley's scissors. What about a bit of... Should I ask it for a bit of innuendo? Oh, yeah, sure. Don't be afraid to use some innuendo. Sorry. Is that going to be the ad music? Yeah.

Okay. That's just its little sting at the top. Funny, please. Okay, here we go. Are you ready? And you're going to be the voiceover. Yeah, yeah. Here's a cheeky-thirkin radio spot.

There's male and females' voices. I'm just going to say, Oops, oops, just one voice. Just one male voice, please. I'm not doing character work this early in the morning. No, I'm simply not bad. We had a late night last night. No, you can't ask character work of us.

I'm sorry, on a Wednesday. Okay, here we go. We save our characters for later in the week. Ready? Yep. Left hand is. Hang on, sorry, that was just the end of the sting. Left hand is sick of trying to jam your finger.

That was good. That was really good. Everyone in our office is shaking their boots. Shitting in their pants up there on level two. I will say it didn't tell us where to buy the scissors or where the shop is. Well, I didn't give it that information.

Yeah, that's true. It would just be hailey scissors.com. Yeah, yeah, I should have said. You would have a dotcoe. Not a dot com. No, I'm haylesbrow.com, remember? That's right. But my scissor shop is dot code.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. I don't ship internationally. I'm sorry. I'm not, I can't be bothered with the couriers. I'm not, I'm not shipping internationally. Find your own Australian-based thing. Exactly.

Exactly. Yeah. So little, Polas, are you worried about losing your job to AI, 88% of people said no 12% said yes 88% of people showing a little bit of a rash confidence A lot of people quite ignorant to what's about to happen in the next few years

It literally just gets smarter and smarter and smarter and smarter Yeah Turrell says I'm an actor and I've already been seeing the Tilly Norwood effect for the last year Did you read about this? No, what is it fully AI actress? Yes! Oh yes I did see this Tilly Norwood. New Scarlet Johansson

Yeah, who she is gorgeous She's not real, though, is she? She's gorgeous. But you would, you know, add it to the bank. Oh, hey. Well, she's very beautiful. She's very beautiful. I just wasn't going to say that loud.

It has made half of our... Is she doing only fans? She's missing a trick if not. Okay. But she's not real, so she doesn't have parents to be disappointed in it. I know. She could literally do anything. Anything.

Anything and everything. It has made half of our professional population basically non-existent. Most of the industry in the States have been consistently out of work. since the strikes. Yeah, it's scary. Especially when you see some of the video that AI produces. Like it's early stages, but it's incredible.

Yeah, for sure. I'm a commercial cleaner says Tori, and I would love to see a computer cleaning shitters. Yeah, good call. It's not going to happen. Your manual jobs, eh? Your sort of hardworking jobs. And customer-facing stuff?

Yeah, totally. Angela says health and safety and well-being, my dudes. Humans will forever be doing dumb stuff and unfortunately always be struggling with their mental health. Imagine if we didn't have to work, though, get that off our plate with the robots. Yeah, but then what are we going to do? We need purpose. Gardening, pottering about, building an Irish pub, trimming the trees.

No, I just, I could board. Mowing the lawns. Who's going to look at me and clap, you know, and that's what I live for? You can do more on that. Yeah. Yeah, in fact, your job's probably the most safe out of everyone. Yeah. I like to see AI get up there and be funny.

Sam said, I own a plant nursery. If a computer can grow a plant, then I guess I'm done. Yeah That dickhead That's their Instagram handle Oh okay They can have it Oh yeah

Over it Yeah they can have it Holly said AI can't stick their non-existence Ass up cow's asses Yet Holly She does AI Artificial insemination

Oh yeah For cows I'm imagining And vetting But I would say It's only a matter of time Till they can Allie said I'm a nurse

At this stage I'm begging for AI To please take my job It might sort out Some of the short staffing And as whenever we mention our nurses, we love our nurses. Oh my, my fuck, thank you.

Hannah says, try controlling 64-year-olds and listening to their parents' concerns and dumb complaints. I think we've got a Kearer there. We've got an early childhood educator. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think AI is calculating that.

Yet, Nicola said, not for me, but my friend who's a lawyer says the new graduates are being replaced by AI. Yeah. So don't study law or accounting by the sounds of things. Ashley said my job is stay-at-home mum No AI could change the amount of shitty shitty nappies I do Yeah

One of the hardest jobs out of it And Lou said I'm a BA, business analyst What even is that? I don't even know Fix some stuff honestly AI could probably do it But I have a mortgage and a dog so don't Yeah I think that's what we all are hoping for at the moment don't Yeah I know you can

Just don't but please don't So we are today in silly little poll Are you worried about losing your job to AI And 88% of you said no. Play Z-M's flesh, one and Haley. I have to get some more scar cream. Well, that's healing quite nicely.

Yes, it's healing lovely. Scarfish, that I wish you saw. Bepatham. Bepatham. You've been using some Bepantz. Yeah, and it's got a roller on it. On one end of the thing to like get the scar down, to flatten the scar. Oh, flattened down.

Yeah, yeah, you're supposed to massage them. It's like road works on my shoulder. Yeah, it is. That's really cool. Nice little roller over it. Five people standing around doing nothing. God, the roadworks by us, say, on the way into work, there's this huge thing.

There's just too many people there. What are they doing? Digging up something under lights and something. It feels like drain work or something like that, you know? Anyway, we digress. Now, we've talked on this, but today, three weeks' time, Fletchford and Haley are going on holiday together. We haven't done this before, like, without no work.

We've been, yeah, we've been away heaps. You guys have, but I'm new, I'm fresh. We've done a couple of wedding weekends. Yeah, we've done a few wedding weekends. We've done a few wedding weekends. We've had lots of other... Just take it easy the night before the wedding. We never have a big night.

We never have a big night than up for. We never listen to ourselves, do we? No, we don't. Sucker for punishment. I wouldn't listen to me. I'm an idiot. No. So, yeah, in three weeks we're going away. And the fun part about it is Fletch and I know where we're going and Vaughn doesn't.

I don't know. Yes, because I'm in the dark. This is a treat for Vaughn, isn't it from us. It is a treat. It's a little treat. We are, we're just excited to get away and not work and just have fun as friends. And then I don't know how this popped into my head,

but I don't want to give too much away. But I thought, and I can't believe we haven't done this before, I have just dropped into our messenger chat. I'm inviting you to a collaborative playlist. It's called the Genuine Friends Roadie playlist. Oh, it's a road trip we're going on. Well, I'm just... Haley, you're giving away...

I'm not giving away too much. Okay. But I've invited you to this playlist and to add songs that we like listening to in the car. So so far, I've got some Fallout Boy in there because sometimes we have a bit of an emo. And panic at the disco. We need some panic at the disco.

Yeah, we'll put that in. I've got some creed in there. For you, Vaughn, I just added then Somba 12 to 12. And you'll need some boom, Mr. Electric Blue, needs to be in there, and some chapel run. I've added that. And I've added some Chapel Road. And you also need Sabrina Carpenter.

I was just going to say. Sabrina Carpenter, Go Go Go Juice and Goodbye, my two favorite songs. Go Go Go Juice. Well, this is it. Like, we have never had a collaborative playlist as a trio. And I just think sometimes when we get in the car, we always, we all get into a vibe. And then we're like, and music really picks us up. Yeah.

It can be divisive, though, the playlist. Oh, absolutely. But I like when you have a playlist like this and the genre's, I put some REM in here, for example. Oh, yeah. And some Gougu dolls. Okay, good, some classics. And some Kings of Lyon. and then we go emo and then we go metal

and then we go pop and then we... Wait, metal. See, what and I aren't doing your... What metal? Death metal, bogan rock. One slip knot. No, absolutely not. I'll get out of the car and walk.

This is a collaborative playlist that will be moments where it's clearly for one person. I'll just put in one slip. Not. I'm just going to add that in. But how fun. And then you guys, but this is the thing

with collaborative playlist. You've got to get in there. Add your songs that you know we like listening to. All right. What's the one we sung so loud that you're... We need some Florence the machine in there. Oh, we need Mr. Brightside. That's the one where your neighbour said,

can we not have those parties anymore? Yeah. So I'll add Mr. Brightside. We just have the parties, but they just finish earlier now. Yeah, they finish earlier. Yeah, rather than an ungodly hour. Yeah. So it's called the Genuine Friends Roady playlist.

And I think this is going to be... Is this a public playlist? Yeah. People would be able to find it. I don't want people meddling with a playlist. No, but that's what I'm saying. Are they going to be middling? No, they can't meddle.

Can I add that song from the Muppet show that went, Manah, man, see, I don't think we should have told Vaughn about this playlist. Should I have curated it? Malah, manna, added to genuine friends playlist. Can you play it just a little bit for me? It always makes me a little bit happy. This isn't going on the playlist.

I'm adding it. This is a collaborative playlist. No, slip not of remote. I'm going to be all over the, no. I'm going to be all over the queue. You're telling me if this comes on and then you're not going to be... I know that it works into it. I'm going to be watching the cue like a hawk and deleting...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. As things come up. Well, because we also need to organise the order of the car. Can we have some sad songs? Also, I don't like going on a road trip with lots of people when Vaughn's in the car because he always like, oh, when he stood in the phone, I get cars like. Guys, this is on the playlist. Because everybody poops.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody poops. Sometimes. It would be a great song to play. You put this one on when you're trying to tell everybody that's in the car, we need to find a restaurant for a poop. I mean, I really kick this off quite well. You know what I mean? It's going to be a great playlist.

Okay, thank you. Maybe you can make it public then. Yeah, we make it public because people, but you can't collaborate. This is a Fletchhorn and Haley, genuine friends roadie playlist. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. On this show, we absolutely love books, audio books for Fletch. I can read.

It's reading. Vaughn can apparently read. I read a lot. Carwin reads a lot. Shannon, I'm not sure. I will assume. But we love romance novels on this show. And everyone listening will know the book Quicksilver because it is huge.

And we are joined so lucky by the author, Kelly Hart. Good morning. Good morning, guys. Thank you for having me over. We're very, very excited. And you're actually coming to New Zealand very soon, which we'll talk about. let's talk about Quicksilver. Number one New York Times bestselling author.

You stayed over a million copies sold in six months, 15 weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller charts, eight weeks in the New York Times bestseller charts. Like, this book just went absolutely huge. Yeah, it was a bit of a shock to me too, quite honestly. I still wake up and I'm like, wow, what's happening? But I'm so grateful for it all. And, you know, every time I make one of these goals, you know,

I'm so blown away, and it's all thanks to readers supporting the story, so I'm so grateful. When you're writing a book like Quicksilver, by the time you're finner, I mean, how long does a book take you to write? Well, that's such an arbitrary, like, number it, because it depends entirely on, like, where you're at in life, I suppose. I wrote Quicksilver in six weeks, which is incredibly cool. Wow. Yeah, it was very, very quick, but I had been planning that story for a very, very long time,

so I knew it inside out. book two took me, you know, six months because I was on the road, I was touring and, you know, it was a brand new project and I was juggling a lot of other new, exciting things as well. So it really does depend what's going on. Sometimes it can be six weeks. Sometimes it's a year. Sometimes, you know, we're still waiting on some books from some people. Yeah. Do you do any writing on the plane? Because if somebody was writing one of these novels next to me, I would be reading over, I'd be looking. looking for steamy, steamy scenes. You know, you have to get good at writing on the go when you're kind of moving around as much as I have been lately. So, you know, it's not easy, but I can do it. But I've learned to invest.

You can buy these screens, privacy screens. So at an angle, they can't see what you're writing, which is a blessing for everybody, I think. Oh, God, yeah. Because when you're finished, however long it takes you and you've finished, you've sent it off to the editors and the publishers and we're all happy. Do you have a feeling inside you like,

I think this one's going to do pretty well? Or you just, you're just, you have no idea. Yeah, with Quicksilver, you know, I really was excited to, to see what people thought about that one because I finished that book and I did think, I was like, man, maybe, maybe I've got something here. I was very excited and very hopeful. But you never know, you know, you give it,

you put a book out into the world and it's entirely like a roulette at that point. You just have to wait and see what happens. How much, because I play Dungeons and Dragons. Someone was recently explaining Quicksilver to me. I was like, this could be a D&D campaign. Have you, what was your background in like the fantasy realm and that sort of area? Were you influenced by any classic works or? Absolutely.

You know, I love D&D as well. So I said, you know, you called that one right there. We love to hear it. He loves having like-minded people because me and Fletcher not. This is the thing. Everybody who poohs the Dungeons and Dragons content. and then all of a sudden it's got a romanticcy angle and all the girls are into it.

I'm like, you could be playing and living this if you want it. Your campaigns are not filled with the hottest, steamy as sex scenes that you've ever heard of. I'm playing with all of my male friends, Haley, because no girls want to play with us. Well, I do love, I like doing one-shots these days because a proper campaign is just a real commitment, but it's so much fun.

And yes, absolutely, you know, I love Lord of the Rings. I love a lot of high fantasy. I read a lot of high fantasy, Patrick Rothfuss, and all those good, like, you know, heavy tomes that I'm into it. So I do a lot of that content, for sure. I always wonder this because, you know, often with romance, like kind of, I guess, contemporary romance writers who write, you know, small town or just sort of, your everyday romances,

I'm always just imagining that they draw so many of their own experiences from their own sexual history and everything like that. Are you asking her if she's been fated to a fay realm? With Roman antecy, especially the steamy scenes, there is still that sort of fantastical way. So I'm obviously like the steamy scenes in your books you haven't experienced before. No, I mean, I'd be concerned for my own well-being

if I had honestly. I mean, every writer, you know, there's a little bit of everyone in the stuff that they write just because, you know, we write from lived experience and our own imaginations and fantasy as well. So, you know, like we may borrow a little bit here and there from our real lives, but I try and keep things separate, you know what I mean? Because that would get really uncomfortable.

If someone was reading and be like, hey, wait a minute. So you said you're a great fan of fantasy and you're coming to the land of Hobarton, where you're coming to New Zealand, you're coming to Auckland and Christchurch very soon in October. Are you going to get the chance to go to Hobbiton? Because it truly is, like, one of the coolest places. is it's magical. I have to say, I've already been. Hey!

I love New Zealand so much. I'm so excited that I'm getting to come back. I have been to Hobbiton numerous times. I have to go and get a pint at the Green Dragon every time I'm amazing. I will be making a call at the pub again. Oh, Kelly, well, we can't wait to have you in New Zealand. And just congratulations on all of your success. It is so well deserved.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate chatting to you. and I hope I, you know, I'm going to have a great time in New Zealand. I know I am. You will. You will. It squires in a one shot. Let's do it. I'm a rogue paladin.

Let's go. Oh, nice. Thank you so much, Kelly. Thanks for having me. Awesome. Thank you. We appreciate it. See you in New Zealand.

ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Today is the first of October. It sure is. Which is insane because this year is going way too fast. October, of course, being the spooky month. What was that? It's my witch's laugh. Okay.

That was better the second time. Yeah. Now, you finally get your wish. I know, because I don't know if many people know this. They were like, Haley Sproul. Like, where did she come from? You know, on the radio, she just kind of came out of nowhere. But in a previous life, I was Paul and Gillespie.

Right. Reincarnated. And to this. Right. And this is she's still alive. Is she? Or is she a ghost Or a doppelganger?

Yeah Avril Levine Avril Levine Right so this is a long-term segment That you've done on ZM Years if you haven't listened Before now Yeah

We used to do this years ago We You and Grant Yeah Right And sometimes Nick Sometimes Nick was there Don't forget Nick Tansley

Please Oh of course not And shout out Nick's our boy He's a very good friend of mine now Yeah His name was Mark all along Who knew

Who knew? It's Tingly Wingly Wednesday. We want you to share your spooky stories. Your, oh my God. What? You can't explain it. Well, Vaughn and I can normally explain all of these stories as a gas leak. It's a gas leak.

Carver and a house are a little high. Yeah, crack a window. Shut up. Yeah, you were sort of an estate between sleep and awake. Yeah, turns out the ghosts disappear when you open the windows. Yeah, let some fresh air in. it turns out Listen

Oh look who just turned up Georgia just in time for tingly wingly wingly Wednesday She doesn't believe in ghost Are she? Neither did I Until The Palmerston North

Distinction Hotel And I opened my eyes And there was a man there In a pinstripe suit And he was dribbling and crying And he was there And I saw a ghost I can't explain it either

Right Did you crack a window? There was no need I couldn't get past him There was a ghost in my room Right Okay, oh 800, I'll at Emerson number, 9-6996 to text in.

It is tingly-wingly Wednesday. We want to hear your spooky and unexplainable story. It's tingly Wingly Wednesday. We want to know... Okay, that music's better. Yeah, yeah, a bit better, eh? But less ominous. We want to know your spooky or unexplainable stories,

ghost stories, anything like that. For Tingly Wingley Wednesday, it's a segment I came up with in my previous life. It's Pauline Gillespie. She, again, this is different. I don't think she's dead. Rachel, good morning. Rachel.

Oh, my God, it was a ghost. It was a ghost. The ghost turned Fletcher's slider down. What? The ghost, Fletch turned it up. You saw it, you saw it, you saw it, you saw it, I saw it. I can't explain it, Rachel. Oh my God, that was crazy.

Now, Rachel, what happened? Give us your two-glue-Wingly Wednesday story. Many of things have met, has been to many of people in this house, but I'll just give you one story. You said the house, what's the story with the house? It's a hundred and thirty-odd years old. So is Haley's. Yeah.

Is the scariest thing the massive amount it took to renovate it? That was Haley's. The scariest thing, the amount of Bora? Luckily it wasn't me who had to renovate it, but yeah, she's very old. She gives the spooky vibe. Please don't talk about Haley like that. Yeah. am very old and I do give spooky vibes.

You're right. Birthday next week. Just getting older and older and spookier and spooky. Sorry, Rachel. Tell us. It's all right. So one of the standout stories that happened to me personally, I was arguing with my partner, and I got up to leave the room,

and it was around December, and I opened the door, and I could hear, like, bells coming from the kitchen. Bells? Bells, like Christmas does, you know, like how they dangle. Yeah, that'll be Santa. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No one else was there at the time, and so I just shut the door, went back to bed, didn't say anything, and the next night I told my boyfriend, and he said, I heard them too. Wait, is it? Hello, the cat got in. The neighbour's cat got in.

Who knows, but the windows have opened by themselves too before, so. Yeah. That's wonderful. Yeah. Is that tingle wingles? Is that Tingle Wingles? Is that enough Tingle Wingles for you? Yeah. Okay, Rachel, thank you. Anonymous joins us for Tingley Wings. Wingly Wednesday. Good morning. Good morning. See, there was a ghost there as well. Now, Anonymous, we've been informed that you have the ability to talk to ghosts. Yes, I do. When did you realize you had this ability? The first time was when I was about six years old. Yeah, spooky kid. We're a kid. Spooky kid. They'd have some medication for that now, I reckon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What language do ghosts speak? English. Convenient. And sometimes Espaniol. And sometimes Spanish. Now I will say Anonymous, you're on the phone with two cynics and a woman who has seen a ghost.

Okay, yeah. So we may not be complete believers yet anonymous. What do they say anonymous? What sort of stuff do ghosts say? Well, it depends on the... I mean, I call them spirits, but, you know, ghost is the same thing. but it depends on often how they've died so they'll often appear or come to me

and they're if they've had a very disruptive death then they might like to slam doors or move around and be destructive and do they always stay in the same house where they died or do they think that's a nice of villa I'm going to try that one I'd go something around

I'd go Greylin Ponsonby I'd go Coatesville yeah Yeah, the rates. I mean, I'm assuming as a ghost you're shouldn't have to the rates. You don't pay rates. Oh, yeah, because of remiweta, beautiful houses. So have you done this for people, like talk to dead, to spirits, to ghosts? Yes, yes.

So I have various groups, often sometimes support groups or like a spiritual group, who people will attend, and sometimes they have spirits that they can attach themselves to people because they're often, like, very positive, bright people. That's me. I'm positive and bright. Attracted to. Okay. And sometimes you can tell if they've recently had a loved one passed along.

So, and they're often attached to them. Right. Can you, does it work over the radio? Does it work over the radio? Like if you were listening to us and we're talking, but there was a fourth voice and it was like a ghost attached to Haley because you said they're attached to like energetic and bright people. But to be honest, if it was a ghost,

spending the eternity with Haley sounds like a torment. but she's a lot. You'd see some things too. I'm not even going to contest there. I'm a lot. Do you hear it over the radio as well, or is it only in person? It's not so much. For me, it's not like a third person, like whispering,

but it's a feeling that I get. And Bourne definitely has someone attached to him. Really? Tengly-wingly. Who is it? Who is it? It's an older gentleman. Yep, yep.

He's probably in his late 70s. Oh, okay. Wait, at time of death or now? You've wiggled him on a Wednesday. At time of death. I don't think he's related to Vaughan in any way. He could have just picked him up, like, going to the supermarket. Like, found him hot, you reckon?

Like, this guy's a bit of a dill. Something to go to the gym. He's going to the gym for the line. last year. Yeah, that's probably it. The gays are coming out of the woodwork. I reckon it's a gay ghost. He's a gay ghost.

Oh my God. Anonymous. This is so fun. I want him to be, I want him to hang around. And Haley has wanted to do this for a while to bring back weird tingly-wingly Wednesday. Yeah. It's been on Z-M for years, hasn't I? Yeah, yeah, that's right.

We've done it a few times. Somebody has messaged in with a connection. Oh, really? To the original tingly-wingly. Not sure if this is the vibe you're going for for tingly-wingly, but my large bald boagin-boy mate. bought a Holden Commodore. Check the logbook. Turns out it used to be owned by Grant Kittie Armour himself.

Oh my God, my man. The car chose him. Weird, tingly, wingly Wednesday. Yeah. We've got lots of messages. See, we've got connections to the past. My son was sitting on his toddler couch. He's two years old.

I gave him a biscuit, and he kept trying to give it to thin air. Here, have it. It's for you. Not paying attention to me, looking the whole different direction. We're in a new home where the previous owner was an old man with dementia who clearly didn't want the toddler's generous offer. of the biscuit. Well, what kind of biscuit was it?

Because some old people don't like fancy bitsets. Maybe you gave a kid a Judd Biscuit. Maybe you gave them a husk or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like these. Somebody else said, moved to her house previously owned by an older couple. He'd passed on, so she sold it not long after moving in the TV

would turn off by itself and on, and the shower would turn on during the night and lots of other freaky things. We've got the house blessed and it all stopped. Oh, okay. I'm me. I literally watched a shoe get thrown. across the room. Later found out through a medium that I went to see that it was some old family members coming to congratulate me on my pregnancy. That's how I congratulate people in their

pregnancy. I throw shoes at them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Congrats. It's an old Irish tradition. Yes. My parents lived in a house in England, which was really old. It had a cool, old cool bell system. And each of the rooms were named. When I used to visit, we would hear footsteps walking up the corridor at night and the lamps were flick and then one night night, mum and I were upstairs talking on the landing. The only people home, the lights and the perhaps their landing turn on. We flipped the switch. They came back on, no explanation,

never tried to visit them again. At work, I kept seeing a friendly old man. He'd always smile and wave at me when I was working on my own. No one else at work saw him, and I thought I was going crazy. A few months later, a work friend asked me to describe what he looked like.

And I gave him the description, and she said, that sounds exactly like the old man who died in our toilets at work a few years back. Oh, mingled in a little. Oh, imagine dying with your pants down, a bit turd, you're full forward, someone comes down,

you're a little bit more poofs from our fists on the face. Clay ZM's Bleach Vaughan and Haley I've got a new feature I think we kind of have I've kind of hinted at this idea before okay but you know

the bigwigs upstairs them upstairs cash cows they said they said we need the next big phone we need the next

secret sound yeah yeah is you know people go crazy for secret sound the amount of calls I know it's insane it's life changing

50,000 we gave away yeah people like have strings on the wall and photo and clothes and they're not. No, this is where someone is winning today. Today?

Today. Like right now? Right now. Vons 10 dollar suburb. That's right. Remember when we were on and I said if anyone's listening right now and Grey Mouth they'll give them $10. I'm going to open up my bank.

I'm looking up my person. This is my, I'm in a personal recession. This is how much I care. Okay. I'm can and I will literally take your bank details and I will transfer you $10 as we speak. Personally, personally. We're not pissing around with sending out a check or something through that official accounts here at work. I don't think we have sent out checks for a while.

Have we not? No. It's normally a bank transfer. Is it a man? Yeah. Okay, so how does the $10 suburb work? Well, I will randomly using my paid subscription to chat GPT. I will randomly generate a New Zealand suburb.

Some facts about it. We can learn about this suburb. Oh, great. It's going to be a nice way to ticky tour around the country. Yeah, it's a beautiful country. Okay. And we'll learn about the suburb. and someone from that suburb calls in,

we ask them a few questions. In fact, we may get them to drop a pin. Verify. Verify location. They're going to have to... Do they have to live in that suburb? Or do they have to be in the suburb right now? They have to be in the suburb.

If they live in the suburb, they're like, I live in the suburb, but I'm away. I've gone to work or school or university. That doesn't count. Okay, it doesn't count. So, okay, you're going to randomly generate a suburb. Yeah. If anyone listening is in that suburb, call all 800 dials at em,

and the first person through, that can prove they're in that suburb, wins $10. Are you sure there's not more money? It's just, it's that simple. It's 10 immediate dollars. And I want the listener who wins this. Look, my bank's saying,

are you trying to log on? I'm like, you're that, it's me. Why are you doing this from your own bank account? Because I want it to be immediate. I want it to be now. And I am going to be reimbursed because it's paid out on Friday and things are looking a little thick.

It's tight in there? Wait, can you even do $10 right now? I can do $10 right now. Okay, okay, great. You know, what I love about the Secret Sound, for example, just to refer to our last massive cash giveaway is when we, the person

finds out that they've just won $50,000, I love their reactions. There's often tears. Yes. They're screaming. There's celebration. Sometimes we ring family. So you're saying there might not be that for this. No, I'm saying I want that. I'm saying if you win, Vorns, $10 suburb. Treat it as though you've just won $50,000?

That's what I want. That's what I want. Vorns. I'm literally putting in the particulars, Vorns, but I can't put possess of apostrophe, so that's not, you just can't put symbols in my bank's transfer. Oh, you know, that's not a thing. And under code, I'm putting $10, and then

in reference, I'm putting suburb. Now, all I need is your bank details. I got it all suited out. We are ready to go. We're ready to go. We're ready to change lives. It's randomly, I've got, because I've got this, I've got this prompt, I need a randomly generated suburb in one of New Zealand's towns or cities, give me the suburbs and facts about the suburb, who's it's named after any geographical features and anything that happened there of a

What was that? That was the randomiser voice. And we work in radio, it needs a noise. Okay. Did you feel this competition needs more money? Today's $10 suburb. It feels like that the thing that it's lacking, doesn't it? That's winning.

It corrupts, okay? Too much money corrupts. Okay, right. Yeah. Sorry, carry on. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely. Okay, so $10 is enough for now. $10 is enough for now.

Who's going to say no to $10? It's money you shouldn't feel guilty about taking from me. anymore and you should because I'm in a personal recession. Okay. Today's suburb is Takapuna. Oh, it's just like, it picked a big one, didn't it? It picked a big one. Takapuna is a suburb in Auckland's not sure if you are currently in Takapuna and can prove it.

Oh, $800. Now, I've just realized there is a flaw to this. Uh-huh. What if nobody is listening in that suburb, like say it is a small suburb in a tiny town? Yeah. We're kind of wasting our time. No way. Well, then we know as a radio station

We need to put more emphasis on that suburb Like Udi Nui, you know Like those tiny towns that you drive through Yes, okay Maricopa Yeah, yeah, yeah Do you know what I mean? If you're listening right now

If you're living in the bush In Maricopa. Okay, right Okay, Takapuna The name Takapuna refers to a spring At North Head In Māori puna means spring of water And the meaning of taka

Is less certain although some interpretations include Noel Spring, Rock Spring or Falling Spring Over time, the name came to be more widely used for the area around that spring and a settlement. We've had a message in, is there an Instagram page so I can keep up with the clothes? Chloe, good morning.

We're actually going to need a social media page. Born's $10 suburb. Good morning. Welcome to $10 suburb, Chloe. Chloe, are you in Takapuna? I am. I've just driven past Brose. Brett Avenue.

Brett Avenue. Brett, okay, look that up. You might need to stop because you might be heading into Milford, and we will not give it to you if you're a Milford. Oh, if you're a Milford, we're going to need you to drop a pin. Yeah, if you do creep into another suburb, that does... We'll hang up. Eliminate you from the competition, Chloe.

I've got Brett Avenue, open on Google Maps. That is just on the road from Secret Beach, Minihaha. Oh, beautiful. That's beautiful. That's just south of Takapuna Reef. Okay, yeah, right. That is Takapuna. You really are in the skinny bits.

Now, how do we know that she's not lying to us? Street View and whereabouts? Are you heading north or south? North? Pull over. What's the main road in Takapuna for? I pulled over. Okay.

Is there any, are there any people? Oh, she's gone. Are you on Hurt? No. She just hung up. She went through the Takapuna black spot, which is actually listed here under this randomly generated information about Takapuna.

Wait, we just lost her. Oh, we're getting her back. We're getting her back. I'm going to go on Street View and she's going to tell me some feature of the house. No, because this doesn't work high LeVorn, because the street views change all the time. Is there a black Utew? with Stonewood Homes parked on the side of the road.

No, because that is a changing thing. No, she can tell me about one of the houses. Chloe is back with us, Chloe. Are there any people around? No. I'm in my car, but I did pull over. What number are you outside on... Well, don't give out someone's number.

On Hurstmare Road. Am I on... Is it Hurstmare? No, it is Hurstmear. Number 200. Okay, what colour is that? Let's look on Google Maps and ask what colour the houses. This is a good one.

It's a brick house with a chimney. It's a brick house of the chimney. Yeah, but you're a brick house. You are what? Okay. Yeah, but that's okay. 200. How many garages does it have road facing?

Two. Yep. Is that it? Is she a winner? She's a winner. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What color brick? What color brick is the brick home?

Red or orange? Yeah, she's a winner. She's a winner. She's a winner. Yay. So I'm going to go to go someone new. I'm going to go create a new P.E. Chloe.

Yay. I'll probably get this. I'll probably get this. We do this. But then we play a song and we come back and then check her internet bank and confirm for us that she has 10 life-juring the dollars. It takes an hour. It takes an hour on.

Still not immediate. What bank you were? Unless it's the same bank. Um, Westpac. Different bank. Different bank. Yeah, that's not going to work.

Well, we'll talk to her as, you know, if she can let us know when she gets the 10-doll. She can sue us if she doesn't get up. That worked pretty well. See you in court. I don't know if that does a whirling radio. Chloe, are you, has it's been life-changing winning $10. Honestly, this has been the best day of my life

Yeah, Chloe She said it and I didn't even pump it Clip that up for the next promo I record And what's your favourite radio station What breakfast show do you love listening to, Chloe? 91 ZM Yay! There we go, that was great That was real classic radio wasn't it?

Oh yeah Whatever you guys actually want, why don't you give me some recommendation Well, don't put it on the mortgage, we want you to have fun with her Yeah, I reckon splash out. Maybe our overseas holiday.

Yeah. I'll just check on Air New Zealand. Well, that's actually just a seat, isn't it? You could select your seat. I reckon a muffin. A muffin? No, cupcake. No, moist muffin.

Big moist chocolate muffin. Okay, well, good luck, Chloe. Life-changing, $10, the first $10 suburb winner. Congratulations. Wait, there, I'm going to need those bank details. Jesus Christ. Play ZM's Flash for one and Haley. Play.

Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. Three minutes of Vaughn getting a bank details, the numbers and name, and Chloe now has $10 in the next hour. Suffix 0-0. Yeah, from Vaughn's first or back in account. I don't know about this competition. It feels like it needs a bit more cash. No, it doesn't.

It doesn't. That's the beauty of it. It's pure. 10 bucks, though. Like, I don't even, 20 to me, I'm like, now I'm having a bit of fun. Well, Vaughn's $10. We're in a recession, and you're going to give $10 to the poor people of Takapun. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, talk about a lovely suburb of what. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe put that into chat GPT next time. Excludes suburb just don't need $10. Other people just send them. Oh, I'm someone from Hurd Bay. That would be a pick of the tits. Other people are just sending in their bank.

Bank. Oh, no, yeah. No, well, that's not how. That's not how it will work. Tomorrow, I'm afraid, another chance for you to. I am going to start, if we're going to do it this every day, I'm going to start needing to do a claim back. As previously mentioned, personal recession.

It's payday on Friday. Is this because I spent all the budget on Herman the German and now Ross Boss won't give us any extra money? Yes, it is. Now here's a problem I'm just got to face and call it what it is and I think as a result I have to give something. Alcoholism. That was good, eh?

Oh, get off Reddit. She clearly has substance abuse issues. Shut up. Hey, if, if, if, they're not abusing the substances. And I don't have an issue with it. I've got no issue with that services that I have used. I've got no issue with apparel sprits. Here's something I finally need to address.

Your alcoholism. What am I supposed to do? Idly sit by and let alcohol companies go bankrupt? I'm sorry. I will not stand for it. Please drink responsibly. Of course. Of course.

No, here's an issue that I've long suffered and I just have to address it. I wonder if I should just put this on and show you the issue. Oh, okay. Okay, chat amongst yourselves. I've got to take my top off. Okay, I'm not looking. I'm just, oh now, I just saw a reflection.

Okay, wait, I'm looking down, I'm looking down. When can we look? Hang on, in a second. Okay. It's just, I'm not going to do. Right. Because you said Carwin's involved in this somehow, and I don't know how you taking your top off is.

What have we got going on here? Okay, so. What is this? Is this a nighty? Is this a teddy? Is this what they call a camisod? What are you wearing? So yesterday I went to Kmart,

and Kmart's got some nice fashion. Calman's like, I don't want your hand-me-downs. I don't want that. Kmart's got some nice fashion at the moment. Yeah. And I saw this little slip dress and I thought that would be cute on me. So I just grabbed it. I size up in Kmart as I want to do.

So I grabbed this dress. Now, can you see the issue we have here? The part for the boobs. Boobes finishes before your start. That is a mental picture. I think you've painted that quite correctly but not because your boobs hang low it's just it's a long size

this is a common problem I have when there are cups built into a dress is my boobs are too saggy clothes we've previously discussed long in the torso I'm long in the torso but the boobs have adjusted accordingly and so

is there a way of maybe pulling it forward more to oh Jesus oh that's no I'm displayed That's far too much cleavage for the workplace. I got home and I put this on. Where were you imagining wearing this?

I'm not sure. Just at home? Like, in the boudoir? I think I'm open to putting a photo up on our socials. Oh, I don't know what you're. To show. We might get flagged. No, no, I love it.

Personally, enjoying the view. Wait, you're telling me that you can see a guy getting shot in the net. but Haley can't put up her non-existent boobs She has boobs Too much boobs I think we should put a sign up And each of us should be wearing it And we should vote who wear it better

Oh yeah I think so Because you're right The cup Because I think Fletcher's titties would fit Perfectly in here Thank you So then I was like Shannon I know Shannon has a larger breast than I

So that can't even They're not in there So Shannon you're off Live watch her followers go up Now, Carl, yeah. Every time. It's a lot of truck drivers, too. A lot of them.

Honking for your honkers. Yeah, I don't want them. So I just thought, you know, producer Carwin, she likes a girly little number. Maybe your boobs are high enough for this. I don't appreciate that you all turn to look like that. Also, Carwin doesn't want to wear it after you and Vaughan and I have all had a go. You have to wash, have to maybe put it through the wash. Yeah.

I feel personally attacked by this. It really has highlighted that I am turning 36 next week. Do you know what I mean? They didn't used to be down here. Do we just think that they've constructed it a bit wrong? It does seem like it's too high. No, I have had other dresses where there is a chest area and then a hem and the hem, yeah, my boobs are still under the hem. How much did this Kmart number cost?

Oh my God, it's so high up. It's got a tag on it. Yeah. Oh, it's short. $29. See, that's too much. To not fit your boobs? Can I just say that would be three $10 suburb games?

That's true. Yeah. Could I also say... Should I return it? And I'll give you the cash. You could fund the last half of the week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I could. You also could have saved $30 by trying this on at the store.

Crazy. No. I just assumed I was still perky enough for it. I'll tell you. Well, you still got the tag on it. I have been humbled. Yeah, I didn't do the receipt. So we'll put it on.

Ha ha ha. Play ZDM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Ah, do-dood-to-do-to-do-to-do-to-do-to-do-to-do do-do do-do. All right, it's brain work here at Fact of the Day, and today we're talking about the biggest brains. The biggest brain on record, the heaviest human brain went to Ivan Turgenev, who was a Russian novelist, who wrote a book, apparently could fathers and sons. And when he died, his brain was weighed, and it weighed two kilograms.

Why was it weighed? Did they know that it was big? I think he donated his body to science. And so they weighed it and that was the heaviest one. Kind of, he wrote a novel. He wasn't known for, like, he was intellectual, but not mine was like the superchial. Maybe. He would have loved the word.

RIP, he died in 1883, but who would have loved the wordal? I think he might have had an issue logging on and using the phone for starters, but. What is this? He was a Russian said, what is this magic device? He's crazy. The second largest brain is very interesting, though. It belonged to Edward H. Roloff, who also lived in the 1800s. He was a polymath.

So that's when you have a girlfriend and a boyfriend and another girlfriend. And you're really good at maths. Yes. And you're from Samoa or Tonga Rool. Polynesian. Polyman. He trained as a doctor, a lawyer, a schoolmaster, a photographer in the the 1800s is quite the undertaking.

He invented things. He designed carpet. He was a phrenologist, which was a study of the human skull. And a filiologist, which is like a... Philadelphia cream cheese. A language specialist. Language specialist. So he was like very intelligence.

And he was also... He was very intelligence. Very intelligent. He's so dumb sometimes. You and your little tiny brain. Yeah, I mean yours is like so light. Yeah. Oh, it would be so light.

It would be like a block of butter. Yeah. Light brain, light brain They were teasing him My light braining in However, he was also a criminal And a serial killer Oh dear

Yeah He was implicated in multiple murders I got away with it for a long time He murdered apparently his own wife and child And made it look like somebody else had done it And a store clerk during a robbery Haven't they done some brain scans on murderers And like serial killers?

They're all left-handed Are they? All of them. Wait, you've got a left-hand scissors shop I know, I know. I'm left-handed, and I have a left-handed scissors shop. And scissors are the perfect weapon for stabbing better. I know. Well, knives are better.

But scissors are two knives. So he was executed by hanging. Cissors are two knives. Cissors are two knives. Wow, they are. With a hinge. That made up for the dumb comment before. Light brain.

Sort of really... Maybe if your brain had a few less facts like that about scissors being two knives and more... I wouldn't say intelligence when I meant intelligent. He was very intelligence. Oh. So they studied. his brain and it weighed 1.878

kilograms, the second largest human brain on in medical history. Big fat brain. Yeah. And so you might be thinking, what about the weight of brains between genders? Did you know that the male brain is 9% larger than the female brain? Even after correcting for body size difference. Wow.

We're thick. We're not as intelligence. However, it does not correlate with intelligence. No. It doesn't. Dentshead and wiring, female brains have more packed into gray matter rather than white matter so we've got more brain, not as good of brain. Less intelligence.

Females brains are efficient. As Shannon just said, you know, they're bigger but they don't know how to use them. It's not about the signs of the brain, it's how you use. It's the motion of the body. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or something. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is the second... Cissors are just two knives.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. To do ZM's Fletch, Worn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchworn and Haley. We have put up a photo of all of us in my negligee that humbled my boobs by having the cups too high. Herman the Germans got the frock on at the moment and I think he takes the cake. I believe we've chucked. That's in the comments as well, so have a little look there. Now, Justin Bieber, perfect example of a swag gap there with him and his wife, Haley Bieber.

Okay. Her, gorgeous, put together, you know, well thought out every time they're out and about. She's really like, she's trendy, she's polished, she looks lovely, she's wearing the latest stuff. And then there's Justin Bieber, you know, with like a hoodie and a hat. That, I'm showing them a picture of Justin and Haley together

is a perfect example of a swag gap. Okay. Being discussed here on the internet at the moment, they're saying it's a giant red flag if there is too much gap between your level of swag between you and your partner. One of you is really, really cool and the other one are not so cool.

Why is it a red flag? I would have thought opposites attract. Say if the girl's got more swag than the guy, she's not going to have to worry about him playing up because no one tries him really hard and he's going to be stoked because he's got a swagalicious. Are people saying swagelishish? Just so I'd run that past the panel

Are people saying Swagelicious? Yeah. Not at the moment, sorry. Yeah. So, I mean, I think it's also like It would be boring, I believe, for the Swagalicious person of the relationship Being with a Swageless person.

You know what I mean? Because then you're like, God, you're not up with anything And you're not cool, you're sort of awkward and weird and odd. Do you think an age gap relationship would have that? Would be swag. No. There'd be a swag gap. Swag gap and age gap are different.

Okay. But an age gap could cause a swag gap. Yes, but the two are not always linked. Okay. Just to be clear there. There is a science here. Yeah, yeah. To how this works.

Okay, so you want to hear from people this morning. But, see, I don't think people would be together if there was a swag gap, right? I think. Really? Here we go, someone's message in. Excuse me. The swag gap is great. I'm the cooler partner, and it means I always look even better next to my basic bob.

And when I feel like I'm having a sloth day, I still look 10 times cooler. No pressure, no competition. Wow. What did you wait? didn't get a gender read on that. I don't have a gender feel for that either. I look even better next to my basic Bob. Now, are they saying Bob as in short for Robert

or Bob as in she has a basic Bob Hecker? I don't know. I don't know. It sounded like a female talking about... It feels female. 944 if we can confirm genders there. It sounds like, yeah, a female talking about her Bogan or Trady boyfriend. This is what I want to know. Are you like this kind of stylish or like

cool, stylish person and you do have, you know, a holes in your socks, Trady Bogan boyfriend. If you've got a swag gap. They messaged in 944, confirming they are a bi-female, but their partner is male. Okay, okay. 0,800 dials at Emerson number. We'd love to hear from you this morning.

Text through, 9-696. Is there a swag gap in your relationship? We want to know. We want to know if you are in a swag gap relationship. One of you is significantly cooler, more stylish, more put together, swagier than the other. Someone said, Adam Sandler and his wife take the cake. Really? Because Adam Sandler just wears what he wants.

are high on the swag level are always going to do up their guys. You know, they've got them a makeup. My wife has to pick my going out clothes now because apparently you can't wear a jumpsuit and crocs to a funeral anymore. Anymore. Interesting, you thought that was... I reckon camo crocs.

Well, they can't see them. They can't see them. They actually wouldn't know. They'd look like your body ended at the sort of the hot crocs. Because then it looks like you're floating Yeah You're not wearing shoes This topic is literally my relationship lull

Engaging in an underpanth that promoted what day of the week was. What day it was? I'd have to have a few things that get you back over the line, though. Yeah, yeah, if they, if those undies were absolutely tight. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Like, if they made me look like a packin. If the pouch was full up.

Yeah, yeah. I don't care what day of the week it is. Yeah, do you know, it's Thursday if you want it to be home. My husband is way. It's Thursday somewhere, right? Yeah. As the old saying goes, yeah, it is, Thursday somewhere.
