Vaughnallon Smith. The top six is coming up. Yeah, the top six. things you'd see if you live streamed a bar in New Zealand. There's a few American bars that apparently every night just kind of live streamed the bar. So if you feel like... I would enjoy

watching that, I think. Yeah. Kind of like a reality show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seeing it sort of, you know, dismantle. You could control the volume, pour your own drinks. And then you'd see, I guess, people getting progressively drunk up. You should, like, you could sit around and

pick a person to follow all night. Do you think it'd be good if you could punch in on some cameras, because otherwise it'd just be all wide shots, wouldn't it? Yeah. Well, the top six coming up dealing with that. Also, Netflix has announced, it's officially happening. We're getting a board game movie.

I'm excited about this. We'll discuss them. But next on the show, yesterday we lost a New Zealand icon. We did. Play Z-N's Fletch born and Haley. It's pretty sad news yesterday. When, I think you said it, Fletch.

Did you get a news alert or something? Yep, there was a news alert We were hanging out and you were like, oh my God, we've lost that, we've lost a legend. One of New Zealand's probably television's most well-known voices. Tonight on Police 10-7, we're looking for your help to find a group of murderous thugs. Two young creep a half-wit with a gun, a false beard and a turban, a mindless low-life, two vicious morons, two armed and violent mongrels, three stooges, three desperate and wild-eyed, gutless goons, three vicious apes, two fat, woman and a man with a gun.

This scruffy little thug, this little germ, lunatic scumbagg with a steak knife. I'll be looking for more help from me later on. Scruffy little thug is so good. Two fat women. I don't know if you could say that anymore, Graham. I want to know if he scripted that. We need to talk to people who work with

iconic early seasons of Police 10-7. So good. I... It's just... He'd actually, and I think we'd known this because we, a while ago, wanted to talk to him years ago, and I think he was battling some health issues, but he actually had cancer. Yeah, he's a 78 years old. Yeah, died after battling cancer.

33 years in the New Zealand police, rising to the rank of Detective Inspector, leading some of the country's most high-profile murder cases. He was given a Queen's Service Medal in 2001 for his contribution to policing and criminal investigations. and Police 107 was the role that kind of, I guess, gave him his fame. I remember that when Police 107 started, people were like, oh, that's a guy that was on this case. Because, you know, when the lead investigator and it's a big news case, they have to front the media.

Yeah. And I think I remember the Beverly Bomer home invasion case, because when you were a rural kid in the 90s, it was all the rural people were talking about. Right. Yeah, that was one of the big ones. And I remember him being on the news for that. And then, yeah, of course, he was a dauntingly big person physically and just, he was.

He had a presence. We interviewed him a couple of times in person and should he had a presence. Yeah, I just found a photo of us with him from 2011. Wow, I know you guys look like babies. And he's like taller than both of us. Yeah, way tall. He oversaw the investigations of 19 murders, which in New Zealand. It's all of them.

That's all of them. Do you know what it was his lingo, though? It was the bozos. was the gapless goons. Yeah, when they called his, in 2021, they said that the goodies versus baddies format wasn't working anymore and that Bell's provocative

language had been unhelpful. But, man, it was pretty good. We just heard some highlights package there. I want to know, yeah, like who wrote it if he was involved. He was our Alf Stewart, wasn't he? He was our Alf Stewart. Flaming and mongrels.

Flaming and mongrels. He's 78. So he would have retired from the public like 10 years ago, Susan, it's like, so he retired from the police in 2001 but continued Police 107 until 2014.

Wow. Yeah. Well, RIP to an absolute legend. Yeah. Total bloody legend. He'd be great at Christmas. You know, it's a real controversial takes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But real hard to argue with. Yeah, all right, Gras.

Because he'd hit it, you just feel like, A or Massa B, you've kind of got a point, but C. It was the language that you just said. Play ZM's, Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. It is confirmed now. I remember hearing the rumors that there was going to be a new show based on the board game Cludo. This was right after Barbie, and everyone was like, we need to make things from our childhood into movies again. We're going to do, O no, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.

Slinky needs a movie. Yeah, just walking downstairs and shit. Not upstairs. That could be the story is Slinky's always going downstairs, really wants to go upstairs. Dream in life is to climb a stair. Yeah. Wow.

Walk down the stairs. Cludo, famous who done it, board game. Yep. In what room? Who was it? And with what? Colonel mustard. With a candlestick in the library.

With the candlestick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Zipping up is fly. Yeah. So it is confirmed now a Netflix series called Clue. Because that's what is called in some parts of the world. It is, yeah. Is it?

Yeah. Why do we put the dough on the end? Let me ask my friend and yours. Chachy Petit. I don't know. He's not my friend yet. He's not coming to New Year's. Coming to life.

But it's not. I thought it was going to be a drama series. But it's not. It's a new competition series. So it'll be contestants, a real life game of deduction and deception facing both physical and mental challenges to win.

They have to outwit opponents and answer three big questions. Who, where and with what? If a contestant guests correctly, they'll add money to a prize pot, but if their suspicions are wrong, they could face elimination. They'll cross paths with familiar suspects from the original board games. Suspense, surprise and plenty of red games. That's right. That sounds lame.

Because, you know, immediately I was thinking it would be like a glass onions. Yeah, yeah, knives out. But that's already Netflix, eh? That's already Netflix, which, by the way, there's another one coming out. I love this. Literally in a month, it's going to be in cinemas first. then on Netflix by Christmas. I was talking to one of my daughter's friends.

I was like, oh, they talk about watching a movie as a family. It's like, oh, what kind of movies do you watch? She's like, we love the Glass Onion series. I'm like, what? It's kind of full on. Not what I expect him from a 13-year-old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're great movies.

So good. So good. So, good. So, Cludeau was invented in 1943. It was originally called Murder. Murder! Mastomation mark. Okay. It was published in 1949 by Waddington's, a British Game Company,

that named it Cludo, which was a man. mashup of Clue, because you're getting clues, and Ludo, which is Latin for I play, and the name of another... Is it Ludo a game? Yes, another popular British board game at the time. Oh, yeah. What was the game Ludo?

Ludo was like a dotty, a dots thing. Yeah, I felt like it was like checkers. Yeah. Yeah, the four squares with the dots. Yeah. Well, either way, this TV show sounds... It doesn't sound as good. I think it's a missed opportunity.

Yeah, it really is. Do we need another competition series with like a bunch of random nobody? sorry that was so harsh that came out so much harder and colder yeah do you know why it wasn't called Cludo in America

why? Because Americans were confused by it of course they were so they were so they just changed it to Clue I don't know what that were means you're putting a dodo on it in a thing Who's a Dudo Cluto? Take that doll thing in there Play

ZIMS Fletch Forn and Haley From the Fletchforn and Haley group chat this is the top six I may if I might if I could if I will go to the producer's booth because apparently this has been something that producer Shannon's been watching on TikTok

live streaming American bars How does it work? Is it a moving camera Is it like a locked camera? Just a locked like imagine a security camera GoPro in the corner I'm kind of into it Can you switch between GoPro so you can follow like activity? No you can kind of just see like one angle

but it's so fun to watch because you're like oh is he going to make a move on her oh she's not interested oh she's got the free drink and she's walking away are we talking like rural American honky tonk bars

yeah yeah yeah dive bar vibes yeah but there's lots of bars that do it I've seen a lot of southern bars but I'm sure more and more are going to pop up because people absolutely eat this up yeah people are hooked on this content now

it's like big brother yeah have you seen any fights yet no oh I'd love that that would be fun like an American bar fight like in the movies. Where they break a bottle on the edge of the table. Someone gets punched, someone gets thrown through a window.

Yeah. Love that. Well, I've got the top six things you'd see if a New Zealand bar live streamed the average night out. Number six on the list, a few vodka cruiser vortexes. Oh, yeah. Get the old vodka cruiser. Yeah.

Obviously. Just drink responsibly. Obviously drink responsibly, though. Not asked, but that you'd see that. You'd see it. Yeah. And we'd all be disgusted by it, wouldn't me? Yeah.

Yeah. We would be. For us out, for start it's a vodka cruiser. Grow up. Number five on the list of the top six things you'd see out of New Zealand bar live stream. See, what makes the floor as sticky as it ends up. It's always so sticky. I mean, it's been a long time since I've been to De Club.

Are they still calling it De Club? I've had some Cliribs in rest of years. Oh, you're calling it Clirib. Yeah. Not The Club. In the Clareb, we all fam. I didn't like that. Your 36 is really showing today.

In the Clareb, we all fam. That's huge. Is this the first time you're hearing in the club, we all fam? No, but it is the first time from a 36-year-old white woman I'm hearing. In the curve. In the curve. In the curve. Real fam.

Number four on the list of the top six things he said for New Zealand bar did a live stream. A few sneaky bar reaches when the bartender's backs turned. Oh, yeah. We always had a mate that was a bit... Everybody had a mate that was a bit prone to a bar reach. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, just grab that. It's like...

Stop it. Put it down. You get us kicked out. But it does coincide with number three on the list. Yeah. Which are the top six things he'd said in New Zealand bar live stream. And an average-looking dude trying to get the bartender's attention while constantly been ignored for hot girls. Hey, could I, oh, is it okay,

but if you were working behind the bar, would you just serve the hot girls first? 100%, we're hot. No, I'd serve the mingers and ignore the hot girls because that is how you make hot girls want you. Oh, ignoring them. Playing hard to get, pretending they don't exist. As a hot girl, I do froth off being ignored.

Yeah, because you're not used to it. I'm not, yeah. It's something different. It puts me in my place, I'm like, I like it. They get a little daddy, a little daddy complex. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, just wait, you two? Right, okay.

Yes, Danny. Trust me. I know the psychology of hot girls. Number two on the list of the top six things you'd see on a New Zealand bar live stream. The very same thing that the bouncer saw your mate do that's going to get their ass dragged out. Yeah.

Yeah, it's just that high angle where the bouncer kind of stand up. I'm talking anybody who went to the outback in Hamilton in the early to mid-2000s, how the bouncer stood on a race platform by the door that led out into the courtyard. That's the angle. They knew.

They knew everything. Yeah. They saw it all. And number one on the list of the top six things you'd see out on a New Zealand bar live stream. You'd see exactly where your phone, your wallet, your keys, your ID, your jacket and your glasses all ended up because you've lost them all.

Don't go on. Haley's had to recently go back to a bar at 2 in the afternoon or 4 in the afternoon. I think that was the last time I hit to Clurb was when I just left with nothing. Just walked out. Just literally abandoned it all.

Play Z-M's Flashborn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley I saw a friend post this yesterday on Instagram and I was like, what is this? I know. The most magical thing ever created. I know. The cake party, the cake picnic.

Yeah. And I said just before, you were like, oh, this needs to come to New Zealand and I was like, it has, it hasn't, not in this way. There was a cake company that threw a picnic. No, that is not what this is. No cake, no entry. So the entry to the cake picnic is a cake, yes.

And judging by the videos, because Shannon, you follow one of these cake girlies on TikTok. Yeah, I love a baker. Judging from the real that you just shared us, so TikTok you send, everyone's cake looks like a professional cake. Yeah, it's a full community, and it really is like people's passion. This influencer I follow, she is a baker, and this is her business. There was 470 people at her event, and yeah, the cake. Cakes are incredible.

Like the decoration on these, they've all gone out. They've all gone all out. I will say, I don't think the influence is just showing the sponge cakes, the crappy, you know. Costco. That's what I was wondering if there was any cake terrier. Yeah, how, they had to be good. I don't know. Able to serve so many people.

Yes, so you have to register, and you also have to register the ingredients you use, obviously, for allergies. Oh, that was going to be my next question. Yeah. Especially in America, they'll sue you if you put none. Put a nut in it. You got a rogue treanor. So, but that's basically, you register and you, no cake, no entry. San Francisco in March, 1,300 cakes.

Just under 1,400 cakes. San Diego had 300 cakes. The cake party in London and July had 463 cakes. You're going to have to such a small piece of each of them to get a taste. Yeah, they kind of post their haul afterwards a lot of them. And they show, and it literally is a bite at each one. You kind of just take off a smaller amount. I mean, you couldn't eat all of them.

You couldn't have a slither of 18... No. You'd have to go with a theme, right? Today I'm only eating the carrot cakes. Yeah. Or I'm going to have one of each type of the major cake varieties. But if you look at the aftermath in this little TikTok, the cakes are gone.

Oh, yeah. How embarrassing if you were at this place, there was 1,300 cakes and no one wanted your cake. This is my, like, worst nightmare when it's like a potluck or like a shared lunch situation. Yes, and no one goes for your... Oh, my God. Because you're a vegetarian. Terry and Tulsa, you probably say, doing some, yeah.

Lentals. Yuck. No, but, like, also. Carwin's lentil cake hasn't been tough. But what if I just want to go to this event? Can I just, like, pay? Like, I just want to eat the cake. No, no, cake.

No, what this influencer did, her mum, she wanted to bring her along. So the influencer baked two cakes and then got her mum in as well. So maybe, you know, I could make two lolly cakes, Carwin, and we could both go together. But you could do your lollie cake. Does lollie cake count? Let's have a debate, because when I used to hope. host the Great Kiwi Bake off, long gone. Someone made lolly cake, and it was a cake challenge,

and the judges stood there and they said, is it a cake? Well, I guess it's not baked. It's a slice, yeah. It's a slice, yeah. It's a slice. But yesterday, your birthday cake was lolly cake, shaped like a cake. Still not cake, though. Still cake-shaped slice.

It's a cake-shaped slice. Well, the cake picnic has been trademarked and is rolling around the US. We need it. Oh, my God, it needs to come here. Fawn and Haley's cake picnic. Like, let's go. It's a woman-owned business. She's incredible. She's built this whole thing from ground up. We're big fans of women on this show.

Yes. All round. I'll put my hand up. I love them. I'm a big fan of woman. Yeah. Yeah. Fletch. Yeah. Take them and leave them.

Yeah. Oh yeah. That'll take them up so much. He's dying. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Well, silly little pole It is so silly, silly, silly that A silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

Silly little pole Silly little pole Well silly little pole today is Do You Sleep on Public Transport? We're now crossed to Haley Jane Sprow With the story behind the silly little pole Well basically because I always thought it was just like The rocking of the, you know, the train or the bus or the plan

But the Sleep Health Foundation Chief Executive, Dr. Moira Jung, has said that it is a sign basically of your body not being able to make it through the day, which is that you're sleep deprived, you're probably vitamin deficient. Maybe you're smashing some junk food at work. Yeah, you're not looking after yourself during the day. And that if you do fall asleep on the commute home in particular, then you're kind of disrupting your whole rhythm of your day, and it's not really good. Yeah, I know people that have slept in past there.

It's quite popular in, especially in the UK. I mean, it's miserable and dark and grey and... A few lagers on board, too. A few posts but excited at Wetherspins. Wake up and you're like eight stops away from where you should have got off. And then you get a fine, don't you? I don't know. I used to do it on the bus all the time when it's a teenager.

Late teens. Forteat home after a big night out. Luckily, they just looped around and dropped me back home. Got a love a small town. But I, like, on planes, I cannot stay away. No, if it's a one hour flight or an 18-hour flight, I'm asleep. You're out. That's lucky.

which is the older, you know, Bachelor. 50 plus, I think, is the vibe-ish around that, has announced their new guy. His name is Barry Meriden. Barry is a classic golden bachelor's name. Really great name. He goes by beer, as a B-A-R. Oh, damn.

And as I said before, Barry can get it. Because he is so hot. Look at this man. Like, he is hot. How old is he? He's on a yacht. He's on a yacht. He's on a yacht.

You might be you're not my real nana at 60. Beir, a former infrastructure engineer and avid sailor lost his wife Audrey in 2011 after focusing on raising his three sons he's now ready to open his heart to love again so they'll be older. So he lost his wife 15 years ago, so

that's young. That's a tragic tale that no doubt they'll get into on that episode where they go to his hometown. Absolutely once he starts to open up to the women. Yeah. I've been having a little look at the women coming in there. We've got a 54-year-old property manager from Brazil.

Go on. Yeah, she's gorge. She's a stunner. She's 54. Why all these people look 20 years younger than what they say they are? She looks dirty. We've got Gera 52, a Greek Macedonian woman

His biceps, he's like proper sailing. Yeah, you get to hold the wheel and he stands behind you and holds the wheel. just in case a big gust comes and it pushes them. I don't know how wheels work. That's how I know I'm getting older, though. I was watching Billy and Air Bunker, and I found the lead character's dad hotter than the lead character. And I was like, oh, there's a shift in my brain.

There is a show that happens. A final shift. It happens. You know, I've got a fantasy on my bucket list of a rich, older gentleman's, the likes of Barry. Well, you should have signed up for the Golden Bachelor. I'm fascinated. She's too young.

They have an age limit. Yeah, yeah. And if I was there. it just wouldn't be fair to the other ladies because he'd look at me and be like obviously she's going to get it I'm just looking and get at the 54 year old Brazilian property manager I'm just thinking

Shannon's Hack, baby God, we just keep forgetting to get in that booth We really should record that. I think we should record it. Nailed it! Then we don't have to sing it each time. Well, it's just kind of crazy that Vaughan's $10 suburb got an intro. I mean, but that, I mean, that's a segment.

Well, because people are getting $10, Shannon. What are you giving them? Most of the time, some half-assed, some half-ass hack. Don't come up, man. Don't come up. I'm giving out some great money-saving advice this morning. Money saving, okay. Money saving is as good as money making.

Yes, and we're in a... You're talking. We're in a constant living crisis. Oh, exactly. Now, I know a lot of people are trying to save money by not buying lunch at work. It is such a trap. You can fall into $20 a day, $100 a week, gone.

And the worst thing you can do is make lunch at home and forget it and then buy lunch. Yes, because now we're double-wasted lunch. Yeah, double-wasted. Especially if it's a tomato sandwich and you haven't put the tomato in the middle with a ham and cheese barrier. Always use a ham and cheese barrier. I use ham on one side and cheese on the other.

Let's get that tomato in the middle. You shouldn't be eating ham though, to be honest. Oh, shut up. What's not what's a process, isn't it? Oh, whatever. Whatever pink gin? Didn't you drink a pink drink yesterday? What do you think that?

You think that pink is a natural food coloring? Yeah, that pink was natural, wasn't it? Haley. Surely was. Yeah, thank you. Nature's known for its vibrant pinks. Yeah, great fruit. What?

Pink grapefruit. It's not that pink. Pink grapefruit. Anyway. Well, I've got a hack for you. If you keep making lunch and forgetting it at home, I've done this before, you try said alarms. I know people put their keys in the fridge.

I put my keys in the fridge. Yes, you put it on the container of your... But that still means you have to remember a step to remember the step, right? I've got an easier hack for you. Well, here we go. Now, this is a psychology hack, and this was sent to me by a listener.

If it's put the fridge in front of the front, door, I'm going to be very impressed. Yeah, every morning, you can't leave. The fridge is there. Why is this damn fridge here? I've been here a little peek behind your fridge lately. I moved mine. I refuse. I refuse. You know those ice cubes you kick it under there? Yeah. Every time

one falls out of the freezer? Always. Who's kicking ice cubes under? Me? I do. Because then it goes away. It's an electrical thing. That's all right. It's on the floor of a fridge. It's on the floor car. But yeah, all those ice cubes you kick in under there are teaming up with dust.

How the other half lives? I would be described as a sludge. Yeah, I reckon there's sludge behind mine. And then the sludge goes hard. What about down the crack of the oven where the bench meets the oven? Oh yeah, I find a few mushrooms down there. Oh, yeah. A bit of cube of chicken every now and again.

So is that the hack? Wobling your fridge towards the front door. No, it is not. Good hack, though. This is a psychology theory called anthropomorphism. Okay. Stick with me. Making it into an animal.

Correct. Ten points to Vaughn for knowing what that word meant. I had to Google it. Okay. So, anthropomorphism is... She's added a syllable there. Yeah, I think... I've got phonetics up, but I'm still struggling.

Okay. It is when you give human qualities to an inanimate object. So what I want you to do with your little lunch container today is put two googly eyes on it and give it a name. You could call it lunchy. I don't know. That's just the first one off of my brain. Okay.

Little lunchy. Little lunchy's really cute, good name. Yeah. psychologically you will now care about this lunch a lot more and multiple people have come out saying this is a proven way to not forget your lunch and this listener who messaged me Jose was telling me he has done this and it is working for him

he's remembered his lunch four days in a row I've made my lunchbox a human now I'm in love with it and now I have to eat it yeah well you're not eating the container you're eating lunchies insides I guess I mean we're at the thing I'm making lunch and now I've got to go I've got to go to the $2 shop

and get some googly eyes. I'm just showing you guys here's Jose's lunchy. Yep. No way, Jose. It brings your joy every day. You will now remember your lunch. You will now save money

because you're not wasting two lunches. You're like, oh no, lunchy. It's like leaving my hunt a pet or something. Oh my goodness. You can't get lunchy. Mm. I just think if you're an adult, you've really tried here.

If you're an adult, it's just kind of should be part of your routine to grab it all the way out. And like, just put the keys on top of your lunchy. It's not better than just putting your keys on. In fact, putting your keys on, it's so much easier. And with the eyes would wash off when you're washing lunchy, because it's important to wash these food receipts.

Yeah, it is. It'd wash off in the dishwasher. And then you're like, no. Yeah. And luncheys, it comes out of the dishwasher with one eye, and the other one just kind of slid down his face. You're like, no, I'm like, hey, what did you do to me? Someone on the text machine has pointed out,

it's not a great hack because I named my child and I forget him every day. True. You couldn't make something any more human than a kid. I'm going to give it two. Toes generous. It's getting three for me just because it included Googly eyes. And I love Googly eyes. And there's genuine science

behind this. Anaphymorphization is a real thing. Absolutely. You know, I can always remember when I first heard that word, it was when we were studying Aladdin at media studies and it was about the magic carpet. Wow. Being a human. Because it's not a rug, you see. Fletch looks confused. It's a

rug, but it acts like it's alive. Right. Because, you know, moves like that. Or the cover of those old books. and anamorphs where it was a human The one, the one just before the animal I'm giving it a one which averages out of a two Okay, so what do we, what's the... It's two. It's two. Okay, two. Okay.

If you see a faded sign at the side of the road That says, two stars today for Shedd is Hey! Woo! Two stars, baby! Play ZM's Fletchforn and Hayley. Yesterday was my birthday, And we went out for some delicious lunch. The boys teased me and said we were going to Denny's.

Well, there's nothing teasing about Denny's. We've done Denny's before. Denny's is yum. And as you started fake walking towards Denny's, I just stood my ground. And I said, which direction are we walking in? Thank you. We were standing under the skies hour. She was like, we're nice.

And then we were like, Denny's. And you were like, mm-mm-mm. I had walked past Denny's and taken some photos of the menu and they like can't wait. It was well played the whole thing. When we turned around and went to my favorite restaurant ever, I was delighted. But afterwards we went out for some drinky poos, a beautiful day, and it was at that point that you and our lovely friend Mike were talking about a concert that you're going to. Yes.

Rob Thomas. We're going to the Matchbox 20 guy because we went to the Matchbox 20 Goo Goo Goo Dolls last year. Yeah, yeah. By the way, I was looking at the New Zealand, the Spotify New Zealand Top 50. The Goo Goo Dolls Iris is like 30 or something? Yeah, still. And like, there's a Fleetwood Mac song in there? No, there's always a Fleetwood Mac song in there.

It's wild. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Taylor Swift, Taylor, Swive, Taylor, Slough, Taylor, Taylor's, Taylor. Yeah, K-op Demon Hunters. Yeah, Somba, Somba, Somba, Somba. Sambrina. Sabrina, Sabrina.

And then Iris. The Gougu dolls, it's wild. It's so good. Anyway, so, yeah, the guy from Metrox 2 and he's coming back, and he's incredible live. Here's what I don't understand about this. I get incredible live, but you went, I went with you guys in Christ's church, and then you went again in your plummer.

So you've been twice. Great concert. My friend Mike and I, we love it. We love it. Yeah. We love it. Yeah, but then Rob Thomas is like, I'm coming and so you're like, we'll go again. And that's the discussion you had, right?

We're going to go again. It's solo shows. So it would be slightly different. Yeah. And then he's performing in both Wellington and Auckland. Yes. And you decided make a weekend of it and go down to Wellington because it's on a weekend. Yeah, not a school night.

Not a school night. Good for me. I don't have to be up until like 11 o'clock. So we're discussing this concert yesterday over our, frozen margaritas. And that's when Mike starts talking about the fact that you're going to both shows. You're going to the Auckland

show and the Wellington. And you see, what? News to me. And Mike was like, we've discussed this in debt. I don't think we had. And you went, have you got the tickets? You said, yes. And you went, have I paid you? Yes. Again, I don't, I think he's lying. I think he's making this up.

I have zero memory of this. Zero memory It's happening And by it I mean Dementia Oh like no It's November Yeah I think

I think this is it Dementia Here it comes I think I can blame our early hours How do you have no memory of booking a concert Because these concerts go on sale So long ago They go in advance

They go on sale so far in advance Yeah You just sometimes you just like oh I mean I know we had booked the Wellington one So now you're going to Rob Thomas So this is the fourth time You're seeing Rob Thomas in the period of two years.

We like him. We like it. Four times in two years. See, I was having one. He's barely even around. Yeah, but I was happy to go to the one show. He was actually, you know, if we can give Rob Thomas credit, we're credits too. He had the last number one song of the millennium, and he had the first number one song

of the millennium. With what and with what? You guess and I'll tell you. Smooth. Yep. Yeah. Smooth was the last. Someone was working in radio.

Smooth was the last. And smooth was the first. Last one. What was the first? Smooth. Because the new millennium The new millennium started And it was, yeah

And it carried over So it was the last number one hit of the 90s But I'm not all You do this too Oh dude I've been looking into why I seem to be developing No short term memory

Oh my God Because you've told us a few stories lately I'm like hon You literally told us that Like yeah Two days away Yeah Two days ago

It's lack of sleep It's stress It's I can't even remember the other one Alzheimer's in the bloodline for me I will say Matt, Mike's husband has just texted me and said FFS at Carl Fletcher Mike Gibson

News to me you're going to the same effing concert twice Yeah not see I... Well no my Mike forgot as well To tell me I just assumed that we were just going to one concert I just got Mike in trouble You did you did Sorry Mike

You did the group chat I should have used the code names We usually use for Matt and Mike Which is Mike and Matt Yeah We switch him No one or no Someone does has messaged in

this conversation started with you saying we went to Hayley's favourite restaurant, no word, Masu. Masu, yeah. By Nick Watt, who came and said hello. Honestly, I mean, it's a bit ool-la, but it was my birthday. Oh, it's a very special tree. Yeah, we won't be going there every, all the time.

Yeah, we'll say, yeah, we're on a Denny's budget at Masu, but absolutely delicious. Play ZM's flesh porn and Hayley. He had noticed a little while ago my daughter doing the thing that I remember doing when I needed a class is exactly the squinting? we went to I took her for a

spit it out I took her for an exam and they were like can you read these letters and she squinted and she's like yeah and the lady's like oh honey

oh no you can't did you say should have gone to OPSM yeah that's the saying a I think that's the saying

oops should have gone to OPSM we were actually at spec savers oops she had gone to Bailey Nelson so she got glasses and when she put them on

She walked out into the mall and looked and was like, wow, I can read the letters down there. And then we walked outside, and I remember this was my experience when I was a kid and I first got glasses. And again, when I got glasses after my laser eyes surgery wore off, leaves on trees. Oh, really? Individual leaves on trees. When you look at a tree, no, it's just without the glasses, it's just a blur of green. Is it like a watercolor painting? Yes.

Yes. Precisely. Wow. And then you see individual leaves and you're like, that is. absolutely beautiful. I can look out and see the individual leaves and say that same. I just cannot relate.

This is how I live the world. Yeah, because I've always had great eyeside. Yeah, me too. Fortunately. And I don't know that mine's going to deteriorate. No, it does. It does for everybody. It goes one way or the other. I'm special though. Like, how you're never going to die. Yeah.

I'm immortal. You're immortal. My joints are going to be fine forever. No, they're fine. Yeah, they're fine. I won't be the one that gets the alcohol-related diseases. How did that even happen? I love the Because I like this idea of like

What did you like experience for the first time You got glasses Or like the A friend of mine's colour blind And he got those colourblind glasses And was just like What? Seeing colours for the first time

Yeah Or what about babies hearing for the first time? Oh the baby's hearing for the first time Or the little babies like seeing for the first time And they get their little baby glasses So yesterday We went to a lush event Let's do a shout out for me

because Fletchie just got his favourite What's the call? Can I please have a bottle of the snow fairy body wash for my friend Fletch? And they said, do you want the one with glitter in it or without glitter in it? Or without glitter? I went without glitter because I know you're...

I got the glittery one for myself, so it's cute to see me looking like an angel. Sometimes, so... Every time, like, it's Christmas, I get so excited about the snow fairy because it smells like bubble gum. Yeah. It's so young.

It's so funny in his elegant bathroom and you have a shower at his house and there's this big pink bottle of snow fairy and then I use it and I'm like I get it makes me feel good yeah it's real young it's great this is a little bottle though I'm going to go through this quite quickly

I know but it's just a little just a little reminder that it's snow fairy season for you thank you to pop in again anyway we we start snow fairy season earlier and earlier every year don't they it's beginning to look like it's beginning to smell a lot like it's beginning to smell a lot like snow fairy

so we went past the sky tower yeah and August looked up and she was like it's so pointy at the top what did she think it was blunt well her eyes were bad like that twice as bad as what mine are now oh shit negative one she's negative two in each eye so she was living in a very blurry world

and it never occurred to her to be like every but you wouldn't know anything different no because it gradually happens I remember the same thing one day someone says why are you squinting and you're like well I can't read from here anymore I remember driving some it was one New Year's years ago and the girl driving was like, oh, I was like, oh, it's only 94Ks to blah, blah.

She's like, can you read that sign? I was like, yes, and so should you. You're driving. You're driving us. Like, insane. Yeah. So she saw the Skytower's got a point, quite a refined needle up there.

She said she could see that it was something, but now she said the deal of it. Leads on the tree. We want to know this morning, and I want 100 dollars at Emmy, you can text 9-6-9-6. When you got glasses, what blew your mind? What did you notice?

And you were like, Has everybody else just been seeing like that, like this, forever? Yeah. Like the lines on the refill pages? Yeah, they're there to guide where your words go. Totally, because I'm only thinking about the people with short vision. Yeah, but there'd be... That can read, but not see far away.

But yeah, the other people who need them for... Okay. 0,800,000 is the number. We're talking about what you first noticed when you got glasses. What thing had you not been seeing? And some amazing messages. That's just blowing my mind. Yeah.

Someone that can see all of the stuff all the time. Somebody said they could see logs in the water that the people on the boat were signing when I was wakeboarding. So they're wakeboarding and there's debris in the water and people are like, dodge that. And they're like, I can't see what I'm dodging. You're what am I dodger? I could finally see it.

I learned that street name signs were way easily readable than when you're right on them and you're having to slam on the brakes and do a hard right turn. Oh, here it is. Didn't someone message in about their work photocopy actually not being... Yeah, they complained to the photocopy provider to be like

the printing quality is terrible. They sent out a technician and they were like, it's actually fine, they were like, oh, and so they went and got glasses on that. Oh, huh. Yeah, the problem was you, it turns out. Yeah. I blew my mind how black the writing

was on the whiteboard. It just always looked like a bit of a grey blur to me, but when it got refined. Crispy. Yeah. I noticed these screws on my neighbour's roof after laser eye surgery. I was like, huh.

Never seen them before. Someone looked in the mirror and realized they had wrinkles. I mean, that's, yeah. Take the glasses off. Smooth again. How to take off 10 years and take your glasses off.

Dust on my skirting board. I got glasses and I was like, oh my God, how tired? I was it being that dusty. I'll be living in film. I'm living in filthy big stye. How ugly my ex-partner was. I could see the number plates

in front of me on the motorway. Wow, okay. That's the thing. You get a hit and run and you're like, what was the other plate? It was literally right on my head but I couldn't see it

because I needed my glasses. My daughter got glasses for the first time she said, oh my God, our carpet isn't just one color. It was multi-color but it all just kind of blurred

into one color. Like speckled. Yeah. Yeah. Walked out of Vision Central at Lynn Ball 20 years ago. It was assaulted by the amount of orange

at pumpkin patch. I'd never notice. But when my vision was clear I was like, That is so orange. I used to ride horses when I finally got contacts. I was able to see the numbers and the colours of the jumps. I was supposed to go over.

I just kind of memorized where I had to go rather than reading the numbers and going that way. Another person said they thought they were a 10, but it turns out they were fine. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. I feel like I need some Irish music in the background. I should have sorted this out.

Of course. Roni King. What about traditional Irish? Traditional Irish music Like river dance That would actually be a really good idea I could When I open my little Irish pub

Little Longhorns We could have a river dance part Right And you have to wear tight pants No top And clicky clicky shoes Put some metal caps on your shoes Yeah yeah yeah yeah okay

Well that's what That's what I'm kind of Aiming towards it Some such in the future Slow Burn Longview project Right this is a little I want to build my own little Irish pub Do you want me to do music

While you talk to us in the garage I've got it But, oh, is that. That's terrible Irish music. No, that's, I want a jaunty Irish. A jaunty Irish jig. Irish jig music. Bring me up.

Bring me up. Oh, yeah, I got an ad of mine, because I've still. Oh, and I pay for everything. You're in a personal recession, but I'm about to tell you something that indicates I'm definitely not the personal recession. This is a river dance. Again, I don't. I didn't like it. No.

Hey, what about Lord of the Dance? No. Put on some boys' own or Ronan Keating. Put on life as a roller coaster. Yeah, nothing says traditional Irish music. It's actually the Irish national anthem. If you, like, hear any Olympics or, you know, before the rugby. Yeah.

Hope this is the explicit version. Please stand for the national anthem of Ireland. Loa coaster. Let's get excited. You got a... So, um, I've... My dream is to build myself a nice little backyard Irish pub. I mean, that's what I want to do.

You've got no money to do this. No, I've got no friends. Yeah. I've got no interest in socialising. I've got no... Anything. I've got nothing. But what I do now have is my first decorative items

that will adorn the walls of the Irish pub that's yet to be... Fantastic. Now, you'll remember that I told you the unfortunate news that Rosio Grady's was shutting down in Taradale. Yes. Well, they auctioned off some stuff. I was bidding on seven items. I'm happy to report I won four.

Oh, great. What if we won? I'll tell you what I missed out on. I missed that on the large Guinness ad with the two Kahn with the... Oh, my God. ...the Guinness sitting on the beach, so a lovely day for a Guinness. Those are everywhere on the wall of Irish pubs. They're not just going to let me take one down.

No. And then some tin advertising for like old Irish... I missed out on the Father Ted sign, the Cragy Island. Oh, yeah. That was the island that Father Ted was set on. but you said that's not a problem because they've kind of been cancelled. However, I have got four assorted Irish advertising signs, tin ones. Oh, okay.

And then another set of three. And assorted collectibles, including beer steins and advertising pictures. Right. And assorted vintage Irish-themed collectibles. Right. Now, the idea was they had to be picked up from the former Rosio Grady's. Okay. Now, that's not the problem because somebody messaged me on Instagram.

Last time we talked about it saying, if you need those things picked up, I literally live 500 metres down the road happy to do it. Oh, right. Okay, so have they gone and done that? They've gone and gone and done that. And then how were they getting it to you? Oh, that's what I don't know. No, we're not doing that.

We've just done the Herm and the German. And that would have been easy to transport compared to the boxes of stuff that are sitting. Right. Boxes of stuff. The boxes of stuff that are sitting in a tariff. You have to pay for a courier. You can't make this someone else's problem. I reckon it almost just might be cheaper to just drive down and get them myself one weekend.

Lovely drive. Oh, it is a nice drive. I love that drive. Love me drive. Head off after work on a Friday? Make a weekend of that. A weekend of it. Make a bloody weekend of it, mate.

Make a weekend of it. So, yeah, I've just got... That's the first step. Right, okay. It's the first step of my eye. You need to get a Tiffany lampshade. What's a Tiffany lampshade? Look it up.

The glass, stained glass. Oh, they're all in all of the Irish pubs. I was putting on some stained glass windows at the weekend. I've got some hon. Do you know what would just make this way cheaper? Is just put on a VR headset and drink a Guinness. Like, why are you doing all this? Like, you could literally put on a VR headset.

and be anywhere in the world. You could be in Ireland. Do you know what ultimately be cheaper than building this? Going to Ireland. Yeah, like actually cheaper. We'll be cheaper than this project. Aren't the Apple VR headsets like five grand or something? Yeah.

Yeah. You can get cheaper ones. You can literally be anywhere. You could just put a box on your head and tape your phone to the end of the box. And watch the Life is a Rollercoaster music video. And pretend I'm in the beautiful... The Pedy Flats of Ireland. Cheaper than all of this.

Cheaper than all of this. Yeah. Okay. It actually does feel like a bit of a money hole. You know I love money holes. You don't need at the moment. Like that's literally... No, I'm already going to money hole.

You know how you get out of a money hole. Dig deeper. By buying Guinness signs... By buying Guinness signs on Trade Me. Yeah, that's the thick and the thin of it. No, I'm honestly... I'm on board. I know she's on board because she loves a money hole.

I love a money hole and I love a pot. Do you dig away out of a money hole? Dig deeper. You dig deeper. You dig deeper. Because then you pop out on the other. other side of the earth, and guess where I am then? Spain. And guess what Spain's next to? Ironers.

Ireland and Ireland and the United Kingdom. So just be a short boat ride from there. It's not the 1800s. You can fly, dude. It's like literally, where's the romance and flying? A short fairy from Spain to Ireland. Yeah, just a short, casual, probably just hire a Ferg's kayak. Yeah. I don't know about that. Play ZM's, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.

Suburb. New Zealand's newest radio competition, cash promo, and I tell you what, we've been giving away some cash all up so far. We're just changing lives and it's beautiful, Vaugh, the generosity that you're showing the nation and pulling people out of their own money hole by making yours deeper.

Yeah, I appreciate that. So far, six winners, a total cash prize giveaway of $60. $60. It did feel $1,000 was going to come after. Yeah, it didn't.

though, did it? Now, we're going to randomly generate a suburb right now, and if you are in that suburb, not from it, you've got to be in it right now. So you can be passing through, driving through. But you've got to be in it and able to prove it. Sumner in Christchurch. We're heading back to Christchurch.

This is our first repeat city. This is AI generated, randomly generated suburb. Yep, yep. Let's learn about Sumner. Christchurch's Sinch's Coastal Child, the suburb that quietly thinks that the small Mediterranean village accidentally dropped

at the end of Ferry Road. So if you're in Sumner right now, 0,800,000, you've got to be in Sumner. And what New Zealand post in the postal code? Yeah, the postcode and when I Google Maps Sumner Suburb, because that's the suburb lines. We've had some people trying to sneak in and they've been in the next suburb. It's like, no, they're trying to scam us.

We really ask that you respect the boundaries of the suburbs. Yeah. Ellie, good morning. Morning? Now you are claiming to be in Sumner right now. Yes, I'm on 46 Esplanade Street, so right by the beach. Esplanade Street. Okay.

It feels like the Esplanade should just be the Esplanade. Yeah, it's like saying it's just Esplanade. Why did they add straight, or did you add the street? I added the street. She added the street. Okay, you added the street. Don't be silly. So what number?

46. 46. Okay. Esplanard. Now, we're just going to do a little Google Maps to see that you're telling the truth there, Ellie. Get some proof. Well, it's within the accepted boundaries.

I'm just going to drop a little street view here, and we're going to quiz her on. Do you live there, Ellie, or are you just passing through this morning? I live in Sumner. Okay. Because I've had a handbrake go on. Well, yes, she didn't want to go over the suburb. Okay, what kind of tree is planted in the front yard of that big white plaster house

that looks like it could be a leaky home, but I'm not one to speculate on these things. House is built around the 1999-2000s. We'll be careful. I'll tread lightly. What kind of tree is that? I'm not good at trees. It's massive.

Yep. Describe it. And it hadn't have occurred to me that not everybody would know that. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't. I don't know what trees are. You would. You know what kind of tree. It's top of the lamppost and it's quite fair.

Like, not real bushy. Not real bushy. Not real bushy. The spring hasn't quite sprung yet. On the sign for that. dress, what colour is the writing for the thing that says 46 Esplanar, what colour is the writing and what colour is it

in the background? It's the writing's white because it's like a cut out sign on a She and Sumner? Has she won? Is she there? Is she there? She's there? I was, my backup question was going to be what of those plants planted, but if she couldn't identify the Norfolk pine, she wouldn't have been

able to identify the Alibirah. A Norfolk pine. God, they're ugly. What do we go and plant all those everywhere for? Yeah, they're horrendous. Well, Ellie, congratulations. A life-changing amount of money, $10 is all yours. How does it feel? Oh, incredible. Yeah, what are you going to spend the money on?

Like, maybe you're going to save it, pay off the mortgage. Yeah. Yeah, big payment off the mortgage. I'd treat myself to a nice something. What about a holiday? What about a holiday? Yeah, I'd quite like an international holiday. Fiji, yes.

You could just drive down there with $10, but you'd have to drive sparingly. I was going to say that wouldn't even be a seat. selection on a holiday, would it, $10? No, no, not on the big lanes. Not if you want the emergency row. Oh God, no. Play Z-Ns, Fletchbourne and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

I've got my own background music for today's fact of the day, where it is brands that own words. Today it's a few words, but a brand owns, a brand owns the term. It's five o'clock somewhere. Really? Yeah. Who does?

No. T-G-I-F. No. Here I'm going down to the root. Oh, daddy. Is that? Jimmy Buffett's Margarita. Oh, yeah, Margaritaville.

Margaritaville. And Margaritaville Enterprises own the phrase. It's five o'clock somewhere. You can say it, but you can't sell it. Wow, okay. You can no longer do it. They purchased this and they made it theirs in the 90s. There was, so I looked into the origins of the saying it's five o'clock somewhere.

Of course, five o'clock fivesies. Cocktail in like World War II-esque era, you know, mid-20th century. They were, you know, five o'clock, the whistle went, that everybody was finishing work. The suits or the laborers. and they'd have a drink. So then the first time it pops up is in the 1950s and 60s showing people drinking at midday

with the captions, hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere. US origin, that is. And then travel cities and party cities, Miami and New Orleans, it became like a slogan very well encouraging tourists the day drink. And use an advertising back in the day

where alcohol companies could actively encourage you to overindulge. Goodness. Wow, not us. But this song is 5 o'clock somewhere by Alan Jackson Featering Jimmy Buffett Okay Was

Because he's the one that started the Margaritaville Yes All the resorts It was this big It was his major money He died Have you not I've never been to one

No They were in like the southern states of America They were quite massive They're everywhere around In America The host of the resorts And all through the Caribbean And Central America

Just a chain Yeah Resort and hotel Yeah And made him a lot of money A lot of money Like more than More than any of his music did

Way more than any of his music did So they released this song and got the mid-2000s was when they filed and successfully got the trademark for the term. It's 5 o'clock somewhere. So it's a protected brand. You can say it. I say it all the time. Yeah. Yeah.

He was at the time of his death worth a billion dollars. I was going to say it's a billion dollars. Yeah. By the end of it, eh. When did he die? 2023? Yeah, 2023. Yeah.

So there you go. Yeah. You can say it, but you can't sell it. And today's fact of the day is the third. saying it's 5 o'clock somewhere is owned by Margaritaville. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Play ZDem's Fletch, Won and Haley. It's a musical movie called Kiss of a Spider Woman starring.

No, I don't do musical movies. Oh, shot, stop it. Russell Crow did butcher Les Mers around, and I'll never forgive him. But I love a musical movie. And it stars Jennifer Lopez. K-pop Demon Hunters is one of my favorite movies of the year. And that's a musical movie. Yeah, no.

You know, from Les Mers to K-pop Demon Hunters. We really are so different. Unless it was a Minions musical movie. Maybe I'd do that. Banana! That would be pretty cool. They should do that. They should really do that.

100%. A Minion's musical. Minion's a musical. Okay. So Kiss of the Spider Woman. It's got Jennifer Lopez in it. She wanted to be, you know, it's like her project. Yeah.

And when she had this, she got her then husband. Did they get remarried they did, eh? No, engaged. Something. I can't remember it's a weird. It's a mess. It's a blur. One time they.

One time that at least got married. Ben Affleck was the partner then and he became the film's executive producer to get it over the line. Then they, in Casey, Mr. have separated and she said it's the best thing that's ever happened to her, the separation. And the movie had to keep going ahead

and they've just been spotted at the red carpet premiere for the movie. And I'll say they're talking and they're all right and they post for some photos together and whatnot. like it all looks okay but how awkward but didn't like two a week or two ago she said the best thing that ever happened to me yeah that's what I mean she was just she was like this is great yeah clearly I mean clearly they weren't happy anytime we saw them nothing worse than running into

your ex and like having to be in their vicinity yeah I mean unless you're good friends with them now and it was all amicable and stuff sure I want I don't want to hear about that I want to hear what was the awkward place that you ran into an ex and how how awkward was it Especially if you run into them, like, you round a corner and there's no escape. You're at the supermarket, for example. You're there with your new partner and they walk around the corner. Boom, you can't escape. Yeah.

I love those stories. Someone just messaged in, we'll kick things off. My ex played in a band. I'm with my boyfriend of five years at this point. Now my hubby, we went to a wedding of great friends. Band comes on in FFS. There he is. I made so much of an effort to show off that I was in such a good place and so happy.

As you would, as you would I'm dancing, I don't care about you. You can't escape them at a wedding either, right? The band's around. That's the band's the band. Hide down the back maybe. Yeah. You know it's going to the dance floor.

I would say went to a wedding of great friends. Now why are they hiring the band that the ex is in? Oh yeah. Maybe it had been five years, like five years time. Or had they booked the band and done them a favour when they were still together. Five years? No, yeah, no, no, no, no, okay, you're right, no, no, I forgot about the five years. Yeah, fair cool, maybe you're not, great friends.

Maybe not. Ben and Jen, post-separation, which publicly, she said is the best thing that's ever happened to her, the separation, had to attend a red carpet event for their new film together. It's just all awkward. Yeah, I mean, I guess they have to, right, to make the film work. You have to. You have to. You both got interest in it.

Yeah, yeah, and unfortunately the world is watching, but I want to know the awkward place that you bumped into an X. Love this. Now, Michelle, what happened? When did you bump into an X? I didn't bump into him physically but I worked in a contact centre and he called the contact centre to discuss I did discuss his phone plan

And how many people worked in this call centre Like what are the chances he got you Chances were slim and like the name popped up And I was like oh Like I just didn't even click I was like oh that just must be another person The exact same name And like as we were talking I was like

Oh no this is definitely When did he notice it was you? Um, I got to a point where I was like, oh, yeah, I won't say it's Dave, but, you know, Dave, and he's like, hey, and we're like, oh, hi. Oh, no. Now, did he continue with the upgrading of the phone plan, or? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously, you know, did a great job. Business done. But, yeah, it was just a bit, it was just funny.

It was like, what the chances? That's so funny. Michelle, thank you. Izzy, when did you run into an ex? So I used to work in a call centre as well And our new recruits came in And it was my ex And then I had to train him as well

Oh And were you like now Don't cheat on this one Like you cheated on me Yeah No So I actually ended up getting with Paz one of his friends

So it was really awkward You know you didn't have to I didn't Well no but he was quite hot Oh right she really wanted to Yeah I had to Yeah, had to

Yeah, had too. Love that, thank you, Izzy. Anonymous, when did you run into an ex? So I was working at a certain type of nightclub where you danced on the stage and he walked in with his brother-in-law who we used to live with. Oh, my, and did he know that you work there? Obviously not. No, no, he added. And when did he clock you?

Like, was he like, okay, we've got to. got to leave now, or was he like, well, I guess we're here now. Yeah, I guess we're here now. And he tried to flex to some of the other people. And they're like, yeah, that's my ex-girlfriend. I'm like, yeah, ex. Ex for a reason, hon. Look what you're missing out on.

Oh, my God, I would have danced my ass off Anonymous. Do you know what I mean? I would have absolutely shown him. Yeah, it was, yeah, it was entertaining. Pretty awkward, but hilarious. Love that, Anonymous. Thank you. Some messages.

I ran into my ex. it was a four-year relationship that ended at a juicy rental camper van place I live in the South Island he lives in Auckland so to run into each other at the Auckland branch was super weird to make things more awkward I was with my parents and my husband

and he was with his mum and his girlfriend and we were the only people in a ginormous waiting room and we had to wait for over two hours for our bedroom Oh I'm upset I would have just gone outside I think Subway and multiple ex-boyfriends came in I'd just burn their sub if they wanted it toasted

until they'd have a good day Well, just double-toaster. Imagine that, you're making your sandwich and they're like, fresh, you're toasted. You're like, oh, just fresh. I really wanted it toasted, but no, you're just going to overtote it. I'm going to overtose it. I'm a doctor in a large hospital, and I was in labour

and needed an epidural at 2 a.m. Bloody Anithesis was my ex. Didn't care. Just wanted the needle, but it was pretty awkward for everybody else in the room. Oh, and you're on all fours. Oh, God. He's seen it before, though, for me. Yeah, probably a familiar view.

Went to hospital in labour And my partner's ex delivered our first child What? Oh, okay Wow Just get the baby out and go away, thank you Yeah My ex was in our line to board a flight on the tarmac I was with my third tenure who asked

Who's that? After I said a look This is, this is Every time you say see someone And you've got your kids with you You are not even two steps away Who was that? Who was that?

Who was that? Who was that? I don't know. I've forgotten their name. Shut up. Yeah. You know, I read a story out before about a person that ran into the ex at the juicy camper van place when they rented them and then they had to like, when they both left in their rentals, they both went the same way.

And she was like, man, they did not be going where we're going. First two camping sites. Get out. First two camping sites. Get out. Oh, kill me. Kill me. How bad.

Going on holiday with my husband and three kids, I ran into my ex at the airport. And my husband used to be his best friend. Oh, okay. I was going to say like you've got a husband and three kids now like there must be a long time that's passed My ex is my boss So I still have to see him every day We were together for eight years

Within 15 months of me ending it He's now seeing an ex-college Who is my closest work friend He doesn't know that I know that together But here's the thing Juicy It's also not up to you Yeah

Who he sees after you break up If you called it off That's true And after 15 months Great Jean-no He's super friendly and he thinks he has a secret, but everybody knows.

Everyone has to be polite and friendly to him because he's the boss. Has he got a kink with sleeping with his employers? Maybe. Employees. But also sometimes it's hard. Like, you know, you work all day and then go home. I'm like, where else do you meet people? Oh my God, it's been, it's literally been so hard the last four years not to fall in love with you too. And he might have a good car park, you know, and you have to walk or take the bus or whatever

because he parks right by work. I'm breaking up with my ex of four years. I still had to work with him as they both. worked for the same company. Then I decided it was too much and I wasn't moving on so I decided to leave the job after running him to him

every day afterwards. Yeah, that's why you don't dip your pen into the company ink. I went to a rugby game at Eden Park. The pen being your Willie. Yeah, and we got that. The ink being an employer's genital. Yeah, I went to a rugby game

at Eden Park with my new partner. The guys behind us were chatting about their mate running late. Their mate had the same name as my ex, but I don't think anything of it. Ten minutes after it started, I hear a familiar voice behind saying, excuse me to get to a seat, my ex

was sitting literally, directly behind me out of 50,000. That's horrible, no, that's yuck, yuck, yuck. Did I tell the story of when I was living in a flat in a downstairs flat, like a classic Wellington Villa split in two, and I was in the downstairs flat, this living my life,

and I heard my ex's voice, like, coming up the steps towards the house, and I was like, what the hell is he doing here? And he was moving in his brother upstairs. Oh, okay. He was, like, moving furniture in. And I was like, no, he wasn't moving in. No.

Imagine that your ex moves it next door and don't know until he's moved in and signed the lease. Above you? Yeah. You've got a knock thing like, keep it down. Oh, hello. Not my ex, but my husband's ex. She came up to me at the cafe. I was working with her new husband and baby, and I was so shocked that I forgot to charge her for her oatmeal.

Then I called my mum crying saying that I wanted to be really tough. And Biachi, the first time I ever met her that I'd just accidentally given her a free upgrade on a coffee. That's all right. That's all right. My boyfriend broke up with me when I lived in Auckland The next morning I was trying to merge into the motorway And gridlocked traffic And his car was right beside me

What are the chances? Oh I give him a little tow bar tap Yeah A little shunt Small shunt No but then your bumple would just go into his tow bar Wouldn't it?

Yeah and then you've probably got a tow bar Through your radiator You've got more damage there You'd be in front of him and give it a break check It would ruin my day wouldn't it Yeah Zip around in front of him and then break check Yeah

My ex invited me to his birthday dinner Which was all good As we tried to remain friends when I turned up, his ex was there too. So he's inviting all of his exes? Oh, goodness. But they were back together. And we broke up because he was still in love with the ex

and was using me as his rebound. I never agreed to breaking up with him. Play ZMs. Flash Vaughan and Haley.
