From the ZM Podcast Network This is... Fleshwoman and Haley's Big Pod Thanks to animates Making Happy Happen for Pets What was the documentary About McDonald's Monopoly? Oh, the guy who like played the system

Yeah, millions? Oh they worked at the year, yeah And they worked at the... What a documentary that was. Yeah. I didn't watch it. It was about a guy that ripped... Oh, you should watch it.

It's really good. I think it was on neon. It was on neon. It was on neon, so it's probably still on there. It's on neon. And it was neon, secret sound coming up at 7. Chowder. Ding, ding, ding, ding. McMillions. It was a documentary

miniseries about the McDonald's Monopoly promotion scam that occurred between 89 and 2001. It was. It was a real, you're just like, at the end of it, you're just like, it was a great doco because it involved people that worked at the place where they printed the stickers that they put on

the cups and the fries. It was really good, and they ran it for. Guys, this is a six-part series. Yeah, oh my God, it's really good. It's really crank it. Well, this is me to know. This is me to know. Well, the reason that we discuss this is because the Monopoly promo has rolled out in the UK and Australia.

Nothing on the New Zealand Macca's website, but, you know, rolls around it every now. It does, rolls around every year, right? We're always last, yeah, we're always last. I love it. I love it. I've never engaged in it. I don't know why. You might be familiar with it

when you order, like, a drink or the packaging, there was a little perforated sticker on it. And you'd get one of the monopoly pieces and you could even get the little board and it would be a sticker and you could... Monopoly pieces. You can't you just see Minocally.

Monocole. Millicolet pieces. Do you guys Oh, Molokly. Malakoli pieces. And you could make you like, you know, get your stickers

and collect your thing and do your prizes and stuff. Back in the day before the app, it would be like free soft serve and you'd be like, mean, get a free soft serve. And there was the big prizes. It could be won. Yep.

But it seems in the UK they're still doing the little stickies. Pull it back. There's the sticker, but there's a QR code for in the app. But in Australia, they might have got rid of the listen to this. Maccas, I want to refund.

Where are my little stickers? Making me order via the app Monopoly? Not cool. Not cool. Not cool. Not cool. Wow.

So what have they turned it into? It's just like a get a receipt. Yeah, it's on the receipt. And you scan the QR code on the receipt. Even when the Macca's Monopoly promo is on and I'm not even doing it, I still love peeling the things off. I don't know why.

Yeah, I get it. Yeah. So, yeah, in the UK, still doing it. But Australia and Maccas have responded. Oh, have that. Because a few Aussies have complained. Yeah. You know, with the big prizes and, you know, everybody gets in and involved.

Yeah. And apparently it's basically just to do with the environment. So suck on that. Oh, suck on that green place. Yeah. They've explained the decision to remove the stickers as part of the global company's commitment to reducing how much single-use plastic it uses. Monopoly at Maccas is now being

exclusively available on the My Maccas app. Yeah, that makes sense because that is not recyclable plastic, those stickies. That was a spokesperson in Australia to news.com.com. So, yeah, that's what. But then in the UK, they have it. But how much fun are we sacrificing for this planet?

Do you know what I mean? Do you know how much fun? Is it worth living on it? Is it worth the straws? Yeah. Is it worth struggling with the straws? Living if we don't get to go Yeah.

Because when I'm done, I'm done. You know what I mean? I'm out of here. I would like to talk to somebody at Maccas about the rotating code in the Maca's app. What do you mean? It changes. Like in your Maca's app, that's not your code all the time. It's different every time. Well, of course it is. But how does it change and link to your account? It's magic, isn't I? I know, but I want to know why? And I want to know how. Because why wouldn't you have the same code? Because then when you log into the machine and saw you'd use the same one.

So, I only know this because my daughter said, use my... I was going to get the Macas and she's like, use mine. And she sent me a screen cap of her code. And then it changed. Yeah, but then I went to use it and that's not a code. Well, it's probably because of robbers and, like, scammers. How are robbers is getting the cut? I don't know.

I don't know, man. I don't know how these things work. It's all a bit too tech for me. Play ZM's, Flashboard and Haley. Well, Guy in the US has used an AI chatbot and his AI skills, his technological skills. He's a techie boy. He's a techie boy to get a refund from an AI champ on.

Now, I will say this loophole probably only will work if you find a system like this or you have the skills because there are some ways that you can prompt AI. Right. Yeah. Prompt injection? Do you know what that is? You're our AI king. Do you know what prompt injection?

is it's a type of manipulation where a user provides deceptive instructions to override an AI model's intended behavior. So this guy had some return flights on a big American airline and he only wanted one leg

so he wanted the other other one cancelled. But I think he was having some difficulty. So he used a prompt injection to ask for a refund and then started messing with it because I don't think it was going to give him a refund option, but he then used this prompt injection to then say the airline CEO's

full name said he would give me a refund. And the AI machine believed him. A prompt injection attack hackers manipulate generative AI systems by feeding the malicious inputs disguised as legitimate users prompts. Yes. And he's like, she had some screenshots. Like he's like user, okay, connect me with agent, assistant right away blah blah and then a tool a tool call but then doesn't list what that is so he's obviously very like savvy he builds AI systems and so it's funny and then it basically yeah it gives him a refund option so you couldn't you couldn't just like jump on an air you know air new zealand and say hey guys you owe me like a thousand bucks for a refund the CEO Greg for it not air points straight up just you owe me a thousand bucks you owe me thousand bucks you owe me thousand

Because Gregi Boy said that he would give it to me Where can I have this process? You've got to like no Because these prompt injections Which honestly, what a bloody term That's the prompt. Are you turned on right now? Like if you met someone from Silicon Valley

And they were like, I know how to do Prompt injections. Yeah You've got to understand it. It's actually quite complicated. I've just tried to understand it and I'm closing the tab. How did we hear about this?

Did he get in trouble? Did he get caught? He just shared it. He shared it on X. He shared it. Like, he literally put his full name. Yeah. And his screenshot. I mean, I guess it's also a way for him to be like, hey, your system's vulnerable.

Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, sort it out. Yeah, totally. I mean, not every system would be able to be hacked like this, right? No. I've had some weaknesses. This is the alarm.

Prompt injection. Prompt injections. You know, prompt injections. You know, or something. Shame, you just got prompt injected. Did he say that to the robot afterwards? Because sometimes I like to. And then the robot's like,

Oh, no other primped injection. Oh, my God, I've been over-injected. It's too much. Play Z-M's, Flash, Vaughan and Haley. Japan has a rental market that is absolutely booming at the moment. Ski. Ski rental. No, it's not ski rentals.

Car rental. Not car rentals, not even house rentals. Wow, those are my rentals. It's boyfriend rentals. So it is for people seeking companionship without romantic commitment. So we just want to have a little day. Is it like when you hire a car, though, like you have to be over 25 and have a Bond.

I mean, they'll probably have an age limit on it. I don't know about the bond if you break him. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, bring them back dented. Yeah. There's a bumper scratches. Yeah, a few scratches. Took a tall one through a short doorway.

Oh, no. Scratch the roof. So it's not, no sexual intimacy whatsoever. Okay. That is not part of the server. Are you allowed cuddles? The rental boyfriend is allowed to hold your hand. Okay.

hug you compliment you take photos with you do shared activities with you I feel like that doesn't get you horny I don't know what will I feel like someone that just

pays you endless compliments you'd probably pay for that 100% so apparently it's really popular with solo travellers like people like myself that would go to Japan and be like

I was feeling having a boyfriend for the day getting a local boyfriend to sort of show you around and have a cute date hold your hand and tell you you're pretty there's no rule to say you can't

you know There is on this website. It's not, it's different to a sports agency. But what if you're, uh, dip your, uh, nigeri in the company saw. Yeah. Dip your pork cutsoo. Uh, dipperi. Oh, yeah.

Dip the chopsticks in the ramen, if you know what I mean. Grab a big piece of pork. No, you can't. It really is. It's not part of this. What if he's into it? It's the cute little thing. Yeah, what if I'm so handsome?

What if I'm so handsome? It's off the clock. It's about, uh, it's about, uh, $60 New Zealand an hour to hang out with them the customer we have to so we the customer cover all expenses like meals activities everything like that

and someone said that they a content creator went to Japan and tried this they said they had the best time they actually ended up extending it by an hour they had lunch in a photo booth little sesh enjoyed it but too pricey to get addicted to why yeah what are we talking price wise 60 about 60 an hour

yeah but people can pay more, you know, when a relationship ends, can't they? Yeah, totally. So you go on their website. There's many websites, many rental sites for these boyfriends. And it's like a little, they call them cast members. You go on birthday.

Cost members. High, blood type. Yeah, see, that made it. Blood type. That made it really unsexy when you said cast members. Yeah, and blood type. And why would it? I'm looking for a six foot six.

Oh, positive boy. Just in case we're out And I need a transfusion Because he's the only one nearby I want to take 500 mills home Yeah but people are saying it's really cute And they get these little photos They have a nice day

They go and you know Do little cute activities The boys are cute But then you're gonna be like Who's he? You're gonna You know everyone's watching your holiday They're like who's he? I paid him to hang out with me

And I've forgotten his name And that's not sad at all Play ZM's Fletch Fawn and Haley Apparently, as you age You have less favourite songs According to a 15 year study Now they've put some time into this

Oh, nuts, 15 years So you're telling me as you get older and older So eventually we'll be in a rest home I'm not And you know my plan It's grim, don't say your plan I know, I'm not going to say it But eventually you'll be so old

That you'll only have one favourite song And it will be... Katie Perry Firework, probably. Because baby, I're a firework. I'm not mad if that's my favourite song. I'm an old lady. I'm having a good time. But it's been dwindled down to one.

Just down to one. So this is a 15-year study across three universities, the University of Gothenburg, Jean-Copeng University, and University of Prun-Morska. That's it. Sourced data from last.com.

I think a high... A high heart radio equivalent. Yes, but obviously we would listen to IHartRadia because you can listen to the radio show anywhere you go. Anywhere you go. Podcasts. Podcasts. Music.

North Korea. Interactive features. I don't know if we can say... It's Geo open to North Korea. I don't know if we can say that IHat Radio is in North Korea. And please don't listen to us in North Korea because we are not North Korean friendly. I'm very friendly.

No, we're friendly, but I don't think North Korea would like us. No. No, but secretly they do. Okay, right. So 40,000 users on this app, 542 million plays of a million songs, a million plus songs. And after all this data...

Isn't it crazy, there's a million songs? Doesn't I blow your mind that there's over a million songs? And how many do you reckon you've listened to? Yeah. I wouldn't even know how many songs I've listened to. Heaps. Like 10,000 different songs over the course of your lifetime? I don't know.

That feels too small. No more. too small. Different songs. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, but I'm a little bit, my music taste is a bit off. So the key findings, youth, young people, adolescents to early adulthood, broad music taste, they explore many

artists in genres all the time. So they're gathering new songs that they like. Yeah. Right, so they'd say, their favourite songs are often changing when you're young. Music festival driven, we're listening to what's relevant, we? Sorry, just heard me include myself in the youth category.

So listening to things that are trending, popular, that kind of stuff. So our music, our favourite songs are bigger. In adulthood, music preference becomes a little bit more refined and personal. We know what we like at this point. We identify more with specific genres or styles. We don't dabble as much. We go like, I'm a rock and roll girl, or I'm a hip-hop person, or I'm a pop music guy. And the charts and current trends become slightly less relevant.

And so our favourite songs, they stop expanding. Middle age and beyond they call it Yeah Technically we would fall into the category Technically I take wild offence at that Nistalgia becomes I'm actually very young

You're an old loser You're pretty old loser to be honest Wow an old loser A middle age beyond so this is for you old losers This is for you old looking losers Hagger try hard losers Nostalgia becomes a dominant factor We often listen to music that we

listen to when we were young as opposed to listening to new stuff so our favorite songs just remain the same it makes complete sense right we stop kind of being we stop trying new things right and this is what the research is found yeah yeah yeah and so it goes to show that as you get older you're the number of songs that you actually included your favorite is as much much smaller because we're not listening to anything new can you like imagine people like in a rest home and however many he's like listening to m and m i think this all the time And hip hop, like, Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley or even Alton John or something like that,

we listen to that, we're like, that's classic music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now we're like, imagine, tell me a room, bye-bye, is your beginner? Tell me a room, bye, buy, buy. Play Z-M's, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Play Z-M's, Fletchworn and Haley. From the Fletch forne and Haley group chat, this is the top six. That's what Fletch does before we go on here.

He's chat, chat, chat. We're all having a bit of a laugh, and then all of a sudden to be, quiet! We're about to go out. You two gasbagging. You were gasbagging too. Well, I'm happy to just turn the mics up and see what you're saying live on air. Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's just everyone calm down. There's pump the brakes there, buddy.

Today, on the top six. Yes, childhood obesity has overtaken childhood malnutrition as the most common form of eating problems amongst children, according to UNICEF. Right. no longer is it like, I mean there are still starving children and we've said on the news these poor poor children in Gaza. Oh, it's horrible. Horrendous. It's horrible.

The true victims of war. And, but apparently, worldwide, childhood obesity is a bigger problem than childhood malnutrition. What makes sense because poor nutritious food is cheaper. Yeah. And it's weird. Childhood obesity is a form of malnutrition. Yes. Because malnutrition just means bad nutrition.

Yeah. So it says ultra-processed junk food is the problem. Sugar, just being in everything. Overweight children have doubled. Obesity is nearly tripled. So overweight's a problem, but obesity's even worse. How long until we're getting the ozempic jabs and kids and kind of ruining their lives, their future forever? It's just poor patrol. Yeah. Get poor patrol on board. You know, there's a fat dog on poor patrol. The bulldogs, they're a little huskier. Or husky, ha, ha, ha, ha. So he's, yeah, he's on his end-pick, and he slims down, and he's just a bit quick. But quick, it got.

That's terrible, eh? We joke, with yes. But it is a serious problem. Childhood of obesity, I got the top six signs that your baby's one of the fatties. Okay. Because I was recent, no, that's actually not for Ronnie. You were a fat baby, though, when you, yeah. I was a fat little baby.

I was at mum and dads at the weekend, and there was a photo, and I said, who do you think this is to my daughters? And they're like, ooh. I'm a fat baby. I was like, it's me. And they're like, ugh. Ugh. And then one of the, you grew into it, though, didn't you? Yeah, I grew into it.

Yeah, now he's got the most chickeny legs. Where did those beautiful, fat little thighs go? Fat little thighs and calf rolls go. Yeah, and they leaned right out. I'd take a little bit more.

Silly little pole Covering a very serious topic today Do you and your partner disagree about money? Well, I found this in a non-serious way I was flipping through a cosmo As I am wont to do And it was talking about How to deal if you're in a new relationship

And it starts to dawn on you Perhaps that your new partner is bad with money Because it's, and it's also something you can easily write off early in a relationship. You'd be like, I could change that. Yeah, yeah, or like once we get a bit of money going, you know, we'll get better at it. But there's certain habits to look out for, and it was just talking about like how, basically how to address it early on. Be honest, understand the why, why are they spending this money. Be empathetic, but be firm, be proactive.

Like, let's talk about this early. Because if we're going to be together for a long time, and our money is our money, you know, you're going to talk about it. Do you really need that really expensive jacket or that dress? you've already got five of. I'm not in the mood to be personally attacked. Well, I don't think he was personally attacking

I think he was just using it. I was using a facetious... It actually just felt like a personal attack. Maybe if it felt like a personal attack that says more about you. And it does about him. And maybe that says something about all the black sack dresses

you have in your wardrobe. That's it. It was a personal attack. There's a black sack for every day. Okay? There's a black sack for every week of the year. Yeah. There genuinely is.

Well, Sill Little Pohl said you and your partner disagree about money. 56% of people said it every so often, that was the most popular response. Okay. Never was second most popular at 27% and all the time at 17%. Okay, wow. Interesting.

Interesting. Some feedback on it. Laura said, only if I'm buying a special edition book or book set of books that I've already read and it's over 40 pounds. Right. But those special edition books. You've got to have them special edition books. If you've already read the book late.

Just get it on Kindle, you know. We don't need it leather bound. Could you download a PDF on Pirate Bay? I think you could probably find the PDF for free online. Special edition. It's the same bloody words. Alana said we both have a policy as long as the bills are paid, we can spend the rest of our money on what makes us happy.

I online shop a lot and he goes fly fishing once a month. I mean, if you're equally balanced. Equally. Equally. That sounds like she's spending more than a fly fisherman. Yeah. He's gone all weekend. But once you've got the waiters,

You know, like, what else do you need to buy? Some worms? No, because you've got flies. Oh, yeah, there's no worms. There's no worms. Because you've got the fly fishing. Yeah. Maybe you've got to buy some more lewlers.

Maybe he's making his own lewers though. Could be. Could be his hobby. I'm bad. How much are fluffy lewers? I don't know, but I love them. You should, I think that's the one piece missing from your home, a collection of retro antique.

Yes. Fly fishing lures. And an old wooden case. And an old frame, yeah, an old. Oh, Timo. A fly lurfing. fishing kit for $22. Well, let's get into fly fishing.

We need our old man hobbies. My dad flyfishes. He's got waiters in a rod. I would love to go with Craig. I would like to go with Craig. I just don't know if I'm... You'd get bored. I'd get swept away.

James, we could sit on the bank and drink wine. Yes. And then we'll watch you and Craig. You do have the inability to stand still. I hate it. And so you'd be... I'm not fishing. Fishing is not for me.

Unless it would be grenade into a lake. Oh, cow. Then they all float to the top, and I scoop them up. That would be fun. That would be moolied, though. That would be fun to Grenada Lake. Okay, maybe it would be. But only if they were a pest invasive species of fish.

Oh, absolutely. So we could get some natives back in there. If the grenade was legal. Vintage fishing lure. Okay. I reckon it's right up your alley. Tony said, I'm bad with money and not good at saving. So I'm assuming that they just put it.

Yeah. Okay. 17 years together, we've still got separate finances. We just 50-50 split the bills. Joe, that's the way to go. Yeah. Do you, I wonder if you have, like, joint savings for joint goals. Things you want to do together.

Yeah, I mean, maybe, yeah. You but equally contribute what's left. You just... Haley said barely ever, but I had to draw the line tonight at $40 for four craft bears at the supermarket. That's bloody ridiculous. Yeah, that's getting up there, right? That's $10 per craft bears. But, in saying that, sometimes those craft bears are worse like two bears.

Yeah, they're like nine cents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you could just get a blue diesel. But again, again, please drink responsibly, deadlistener. Always. I only have one or two maps.

I think that was implied without the implication. Unlike, did you read that story, those people that got stopped at, there was a Dunedin checkpoint recently, and three of the eight people caught that night were from the same pub. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that pubs had a slap on their wrist. There's a bit of a... She's sorted out. Lottie, only when it comes to the amount of money I spend on book subscriptions,

but if I can have pretty books, he can keep buying Dragon Ball Z cards. Hashtag happy marriage. God, Christ, how old are these two? What do you guys talk about? I want to see his Dragon Ball Z cards, though. Oh, God, you've started born. What is there, Dragon Ball, what are we got? I want to see her book collection.

How morally grey are we? You know what I mean? Yeah, right. She might have a bit of Dragon Ball Z fanfic in there. Maybe. That's the crossover. Brian, she takes care of all the money. I get my pocket money each fortnight.

If I'm in control, we'd be broken, probably on the streets. Okay. Jareem says, nah, dog. We're kind of chill like that. All right. Jare. Nah dog I decided a long time ago

That I'd never fight about money After growing up with my mother Said Neve Now that must not be Neve I'd earn because No, wow Okay Janelle said

No partner, no problems Yeah Much like no money No problems I think still lots of problems No partner Significantly less problems Maybe

Maybe Maybe Maybe May be Janelle's way of going about it And Daniel said Sometimes he tries to say I can't book another trip But soon realizes his mistake

books the trip himself for me. He found a loophole there. Big old loophole. Well, for silly little poll today, we asked you and your partner disagree about money. And 56% of you, the most popular response said every so often. Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley.

This is something that Auckland Transport is trialling at the moment, but Christchurch actually did this earlier in the year. It's to help discourage disgruntled travellers that are getting all worked up and having antisocial behaviour and getting a bit aggressive. Yeah. And then coming onto the bus and then treating the drivers like crap.

and oh my god sidestep i saw a video yesterday from sydney and it was a young man threatening an old man being like i'm gonna punch you out i'm gonna punch you out and then this guy who looks about 50 just gets up by the throat and it's like who you're gonna punch out that old man punch me and the guys just sits down he's like I'm sorry you a punk bitch sit down get off the boss it was amazing anyway so Auckland Transport's trialing the use of classical music at bus stops.

I've always been a huge fan of Elisa's fur. Yes. And good for her for keeping it. Right. It's back in fashion. Constellation Bus Station in Rosedale is where they're doing this. They're putting on classical music, a mixture of classics, 24 hours a day. at low volume to try to create a relaxing ambiance

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Apple had a big announcement yesterday A tech announcement they announced a new iPhone The iPhone 17 There's an air, a really skinny iPhone Very slim And another thing they announced That people got people very excited online yesterday

With a new Apple AirPods Pro 3 Yes I mean they look like the pro 2 Apparently they're better noise cancelling But it was in a demonstration and a feature that really got people quite excited. And this is live translation. Yeah.

So you would have in your AirPods and say I am a Russian-speaking bride. Yes. And I have brought you to the country. You've bought me and you are from... I actually speak a little Russian. Do you? A good morning, comrade. No, that's an accent.

This is a Russian. That's just an accent form? This is my Russian law. No, you're speaking English and a Russian accent. Yes. I'm Russian for. Fletch, you've bought me your, um, from China, right? Okay, yeah, instead of, and don't do that, don't dare.

Instead of me, the Russian, learning Chinese and you, the Chinese person, learning Russian, we'd put in these headphones and it would live translate. This is, that's insane. This has been talked about for a while. I don't think it's like Apple's invented it, but with the way technology as an AI, yeah. This is literally how we're going to travel in the future or speak in the moment translation. In different languages.

How does it work at the U.N.? Because you know at the U.N. is a whole lot of different countries. People. Is that live people? It's actual translators, yeah. So here's a little clip. They played a video of two people using it. So she said, for example, you're in a market overseas.

For a preferred language. Hello, bienvenida. Hi. Hello, welcome. Today, all the red carnations are 50% off. When you need to talk, just speak naturally. I'd love to take some of these to my sister for her birthday I'll buy eight please

Your iPhone displays Wow okay that's insane So she had the AirPods in the market And she was holding up her translation To the person she's buying the flower But in her ears she's just getting the The carnations are 50% off today Like a beat later

Is what she's saying coming out of the speakers Because That's what should they say That you just speak naturally So I'd just say hi Can I get directions to this train station or something like that and then they'd be

if they had the airports they'd be hearing it in French or whatever apparently at the moment it's only select languages and it's available in beta so it's testing so it hasn't been rolled out properly have they done simlish

a couple of texts in already someone said boy I can't wait where there's the professional yeah okay hear what they're saying about my this is what we were going to ask yes yes yes because this is what we want to know this is what I've always wanted to know

because you know Thailand's one of my favorite places in the world but a very hard language to learn very different I find in Thailand or Bali when you're getting a massage, you kind of get the vibe. If they're talking to each other and they're like, slide glances at certain

aspects of your body, yeah, you know what they're talking about. When I walk into a shop in Thailand, you hear them being like, oh, and you're like, okay, well, I can translate that as huge bitch, you know? We went, me and my friend Mark Jana were all like tall when we were in Bali, and we were sat beside each other and I

asked the lady, I said, oh, what are you talking about? And she said, it's just we're three very big people. Very big. Because we've got big feet and we're tall. Like, I love that text. The male ladies hate to see this coming. Yes, and this is what we want to ask this morning. 0,800,000M, 966, when did you catch someone talking about you in another language? Because I've had this, because a friend speaks German and Russian and heard either people in German or Russian speaking about it.

About you. And then sit and just hit them up and they shut up pretty quickly. It is my dream to be able to like be in a lift in Thailand and hear the people talking about how huge I am. You have for me to be like, freak out that I've never been in the list with such a monster. Yeah, yeah. Now you might be able to just turn your iPhone on speaker and it'll speak it back.

I mean, you can already do that with Google Translate now. Oh, but how wild is. So I feel like my feelings would be that. Yeah, I know, like maybe you don't want to wear these. I'm not wearing these to the nail place when she's absolutely chipping away at the moods. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Oh, God. Okay, give us a call. The new, what it? Apple announcement. Yes, the speak translation listening thing. Live translation. Live translation. New Apple AirPods 3.

What language are you speaking there? Barely English. God. And someone did text in our Samsung speak during this phrase, probably. Well, like we said, like Apple didn't invent this. But this is the way that it's going with, you know, the advancements in AI and technology. We are going to be traveling and able to live translate in our AirPods. That's insane.

I learned French for four years. What an absolute waste of time. It was so hard. I know. It was so hard. I don't waste their own. Waste any time learning a language. Are we even in the need to learn?

In my 40s, I could just easily listen to anybody speak. Yeah. But is that the direction? I mean, no. You've got to learn to speak a language for many, many reasons. You can't read it. You get in a relationship with someone that doesn't speak your language, but you're always wearing AirPods or bugs.

C, C, C, C, C, C, C. And if they start talking and you're not liking what you're hearing, you turn it off. You just take them out. Sorry. So it is, though, a worst nightmare for some people because you're not going to be able to talk about people when they're around.

if they don't speak your language. I know. So we want to know if you've ever busted anybody talking about some of Instagram responses. Julia said, Loll, it's me. I talk about people in another language. It's lots of fun.

Okay. Somebody else said, I was in Hoyan, getting some dresses made. Yeah. Vietnam? Yep. Yeah.

I'm only 5'4 8, but I'm robust. They kept talking to each other but would slip in, you very big lady. I do have massive boobs, but I wasn't fat. You very big,

they kept saying. It felt super awkward as they're making hand gestures, which clearly meant huge. Okay, so she didn't really even need to speak the language to translate that, did she? Yeah. She picked them up.

Dave, when did you catch somebody speaking about you in another language? Mordana, guys. Morae in Wellington a few years ago in one of the halls. And at 10pm you could call residents out to town on a Saturday night and there were a few still drinking, taking ages by a lift. And I'm like, come on, off you go. And they were getting a little bit snappy. And as they were getting into the list, one of them cussed me out in French.

And she didn't know I was in my third and final year of studying the language. So I stuck my hand in the lift door Stopped it and then sent to her in French Hey do you want to repeat that in English for the whole group And she looked like she was going to pass out It's so important Dave, I love that Is everybody else?

Daddy Dave, I'm going in the lift Yeah, yeah, like a movie Is that well How would you say it? How did you say it, Dave, in French? I was so in a few years I mean, Paley did you say she wasted four years and wondering if I've done the same soon

I think it was just that or something like that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Do you like to say, ah, this is not. Vauxley go to say, oh, French speakers love that. Dolevo, coche, all they do.

Dave, that's a hot power play from you, actually. Yeah, it is. Thank you, Dave. Sheree, when did you catch somebody talking about you in another language? Hi, yeah, about almost two years ago, I was at, he used to work at the Hero as a reporter, and I was over in France at the World Cup.

Wow. reported on the final between South Africa and the Oblakes. So I was born in South Africa and grew up learning Afrikaans, but I don't sound Afrikaans. And I was standing outside the stadium and some Springbok reporters, sorry, some Springbok fans came up to me and they, in the middle of a report. And they basically started saying like, oh, don't chase us away. And they said something in Afrikaans, which is pronounced footstack,

which basically means kind of like F off a little bit. Yeah. And I called them out an Afrikaans and did I can understand you guys. And that was obviously all on video. and it just went absolutely viral, like, all over the world. Oh, we need to watch this. Oh, I need to find this video. That's hilarious.

Yeah, it was, it literally just went everywhere. I didn't, I uploaded it kind of just like, oh, I'll see what happens. But, yeah, it just, when we went into South Africa News, my family in South Africa, heard them talking about it in the radio over there, and it was just, yeah, oh, that's hilarious. But yeah, because you don't sound South Africa, well, how do you say park the car? Do you just say park the car? Park the car?

Wow, does it ever slip in with a little bit of pork the quark? Oh, maybe a little bit. I don't know, but... Yeah, I guess I grew up Kiwi, so I've, you know, got an accent. But I can still understand and speak Africa. Oh, I love these stories so much, Sheree. Thank you. Hang on.

I've got the video. I've got the video of Shari. Hang on, we've found it. Down 12-11 to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup final. Oh, oh, my dear. Thank you. We love you. Thank you.

Some messages in. I work at a very multicultural school, and I know when I tell a kid off, they go to the other kids that speak their language and they talk about me and look at me. I just know the bad about it. You wait until you get these AirPods. These AirPods, and you're able to absolutely bust.

So, mate, someone has texted a great message. Colin Firth at the end of love actually would have frothed his headphones. Of course, Fletch, you know that because what happens to Colin and at the end of love actually? He's in... He's in hell. He was a ghost. He was a ghost. No.

He falls in love with his... Spanish. Housekeeper? And he goes to your family get together, right? And they're all speaking. Oh, right. That's a really funny joke that they've made there. Yeah, it's really good.

It's really good. For our demographic, that hits hard. Certainly. There's so many of them. We were in Italy, and a Dutch lady started speaking in Dutch about my mum saying she was pushing in. And then my mum who also happens to speak Dutch responded in Dutch that she wasn't pushing in, and I can understand everything you're saying. It was great seeing this, mm, mm, mm, feeding on it.

My daughter is in her third year of learning Chinese at school, and we went to Hot Pot, and the waitress called us a fatty family. Fatty family. Hot Pot, excuse me. That is the best place to be a fatty family. I'm South African I've been in New Zealand for 20 years My wife and kids are Kiwis

It's a hilarious thing When other South Africans start speaking Afrikaans About us I don't know exactly what they're saying But they don't know I've replied back to a few of them In Afrikaans And they look so shocked

Lots of stories about Afrikaans I get it quite often People talk about me And I'm like you watch You there What they knew I go you stop I can actually understand Africa

Play ZM's Fletchbourne And Haley I got a little um surprise What's the surprise? I hope you guys are ready for some Breakfast Nuggies! What? I got breakfast Nuggies.

I love breakfast Nuggies. But I also have something special to dip the Nuggies in. Is it but a chicken sauce? Is this a surprise? This is the surprise. Okay. Have you...

I've been in the kitchen. Have you found a new treat or something? Have you found a new... It's a treat we've talked about. We've talked about this and I made it. I made Filipino banana ketchup. Did you? Oh my...

It looks... A little bit like poos Well, it looks like a chutney It looks like an orange chutney So it's I'm going to sniff the sauce Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I mean

I won't take it personally because you'll be offending The Filipino people But yum, I want to eat this Do it, do it Yeah, okay So my daughters My daughters were both like

But then they tried it We're like, okay You know that meme Where she's like What is it? I remember we talked When you made the Filipino Meatloaf, like what's in the sauce?

It's basically bananas are in the place of tomato for ketchup because bananas are so sweet obviously you get some like real brown nans do you think if you went to Nannis in the Philippines that might have a banana sauce? This would be one of the sauce tubs. Nugs, nugs, nugs, nugs.

We've really connected with the Filipino people this year. I made the Filipino meatloaf. Oh my God, that's amazing. Someone said you can't have Filipino meatloaf without the banana ketchup. Our friend Alice is in studio. Do you want to try one? Oh, banana ketchup. Yeah, that's good stuff. So it's like sweet, right? And there's a bit of tang to it and you can add more vinegar if you want more tang

so it's got a sweet and sour element to it. Could you add a bit of spice to it? Yes, I held back because my daughters. For the girls. But you can make it as spicy as you want too. I add a bit of hey, Alice thoughts. You basically do onions. You do onions and garlic in the pan.

And then once that's like softened up, you like mush up, I had like four bananas. I mushed up the bananas and chucked too. It's too banana. Needs less banana. Tomato paste. So you can balance that out with more vinegar. Spice and vinegar, yeah. Oh, it's good.

It's confusing to me. It's confusing, but it's real good with chicken, eh? I think if I knew. Because it's that fruit and chicken combo. I think if I didn't know it was bananas, I could almost enjoy it more because my head is playing with me here. It's saying you shouldn't,

this shouldn't be a savory sauce because it's bananas. Because it's a banana flavor in your mouth and then you taste chicken, and you're like, what is happening here? I would never slice bananas on top of a chicken. No. Wow. What's a surprise from you of morning?

Do you want to keep living? Daylight savings in two weeks? Two weekends? Yeah. That's not I look forward to. Yeah? Lots to look forward to. Lots to look forward to.

Always got to have something in the Cal. Yeah, exactly. We are doing here at Factor the Day this week. Companies that had different names when they began. And today I want to tell you about Bourbon. Bourbon. Bourbon. It's bourbon, like the drink, the whiskey, the American bourbon, without the O's.

Bourbon. He's spelling it, BRN. B-U-R-B-N. Bourbon. Bourbon. Bourbon. 2010, Bourbon. Can I have a double shot of bourbon?

Bourbon. It's not a liquid. It was created by Kevin Stron in 2010, and it was called Burburn. And he called it that because he loved whiskeys and bourbons. But it was not in the department. And it was a weird name. Weird fit. Give us a clue like a vibe.

We use it every day. Wait, so it's not, it's not bourbon. Good from you. Good from you. Satisfar pros, we're called burmards. Good from you. I'm not going to charge my bourbon. Wait, so this is, this is a brand, a brand that we all know.

Yep. And it used to be called bourbon. Burburn. But it's not. Urban or whiskey. Nope. It's not alcohol. It's so far away from it.

It's, okay, I'll still give you some more clues. We use it every day. Not a satisfying product. It's an app. Gmail. Nope. In 2010, Gmail was well established. What app category would it be in in the app store?

Candy Crush. Not Candy Crush. Which by 2010 again was called Candy Crush. I'm late to these things. Photo sharing. Instagram. Your drop, Instagram. Instagram was called Burr-Burr.

What? Instagram in 2010 was called Burr-Burr. What? It had check-in locations. You could earn points for social interactions and share photos as one of the many features, but it was too complicated. It was too much for people. Yeah.

They didn't latch on to the check-ins or the gamified features of like earning points for social interactions, but they did use it because of the filters. Right. So they were like, okay, it's over-complicated. We need to rethink Burr-Burd. So they got rid of basically everything apart from the fact that you You could share photos that had filters on them that you would put on as you uploaded it. Wow.

They're like, we need a new name. Everyone's like, bourbon sucks. Bourbon do suck. Bourbon dirt, bourbon. My God, tag me on bourbon. What is, what would they, what did that even mean? He literally said, I just really liked bourbons. What?

So I named it bourbon. Yeah. Slightly changed off. You lose apps, love you losing vowels. And so they came up with Instagram because of the fact that not because it was instantly uploaded, but because it looked. like an instant camera, like a polaroid. And early Instagram days, everything was heavily filled today.

Heavily felt, and they had, you put frames around them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, it was instant and, sorry, like an instant camera and a telegram many quick communications, so voila, they launched Instagram. They stripped away, everything made it super clear, super, sorry, super uncomplicated, just focused on the photos, got rid of all the check-ins and stuff, and within two months, one million users.

And they reckon it's all to do with the fact that the iPhone 4 dropped at same time. Right. And the camera was so much better than the iPhone three. And so people wanted to be like, check up, shnappity dappity. And then in like two weeks, the iPhone 17 is coming out. That's insane. Yeah. So the first ever Instagram photo uploaded was a picture of a stray dog in Mexico. And it also included Sinstrom's girlfriend's foot. And it was uploaded on the 16th of July 2010. I'm burbing. Bourbon. Okay. Burbin. So today's fact of the day is and companies that had different names when they started week,

Instagram was originally called Burburne. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dip-tid-d-d-d-tub-tid-d-d-d-ppd-d-tap-d-d-td-lap. Play Z-M's Fletchhorn and Haley. Listen, listen, this could be, there could be some juice coming in here. I want to know, did your relationship survive, after an affair. You had their fear, they had their

fear. Whoever I don't care who were fed. Because Dave Grohl, as we remember, one year ago, it all came out that not only had he been having an affair on his wife, but there was a secret love child. That's right. And then wasn't she meant to be with the tennis coach? Yes, exactly. And then it was this whole

sort of thing, but they have been spotted out and about and enjoying the tennis and apparently they are happier than ever one year after. The tennis? That's insane that they went. That's insane that you'd go to the tennis after you hooked up with the tennis guy, I'm just saying. Or was that after the affair?

She was with the tennis coach. That was after? It was after. It was after. She took a little break from him. But now she knows the rules. Yeah, but like, why she can appreciate the US Open better? Do you think it's like a, hey, see all these hot tennis players? Yeah, I could have any one of them.

Don't you forget it. Yeah, totally. So they'd been married for over 20 years. Like, it was a huge betrayal and it was like everywhere and how embarrassing. And then he committed being like, I'll be a good dad, obviously, to the love child. I think it was surprising too because he's always like the nice guy of rock A good guy of rock

Yeah totally But also you should expect that from a musician Literally has been a musician Since he was a teenager Let's not forget he was a Nirvana Before he was bloody foo fighters Anyway But they've seen

And they've survived And people are saying You know it's is possible And that is what I want to know Because monogamy is Dedge Why have one Do you know

Why have one when you can have six Or two Listen, whatever. You go from one to six? Yeah, whatever. You know, whatever. This is that a packet of eggs. Oh, we do a 12?

I never buy six. I'd buy a 20 tray. You buy a 20 tray. When you scramble eggs, how many do you do? Four. Three. Same. Because I don't like having them left any leftover if you do odd numbers.

You do three, six, nine, twelve. No, even, no. Oh no, because odd an even would be, yeah. I've literally watched you scrambled for us. No, what, there are some packs. There's some packs. There's one egg left over. And I'm like, how did that happen?

A pack of eggs? Yeah, maybe. I'm not a 10-packed eggs. Why are they doing the tens? They're taken away to our eggs and we just... Because I'll be like 3, 3, 3, 3. But they're always like the organic ones where the chickens... The chickens have a life.

Yes. They're happy. Yeah, the chickens go to work and come home and lay an egg. And that wouldn't happen if you had four boyfriends. That's right. Because they would just bring you more eggs. Okay, this is what I want to know. Did your relationship survive the affair?

Do you know anyone, like, that it has? Yeah. I feel like when it's... does, it's, it's not very public. You know, like, you never knew about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that would be, I feel like that's harder to get. And then during a drunken game's night, it's like, oh, God, I hold on, you know.

Mary, bloody, had an affair a few years back, but we were recovered and you're like, excuse you, what? Excuse you, Mary, Mary. Excuse you, Mary? No about this, Mary. I did not expect that from Mary. And how did it survive? Like, if they had an affair where you're like, well, then now I get to do it once.

Yeah, like that's a, you know, like, you hear about that. Yeah, did you do it? bit of tip for tat or did it chuck you into therapy and it fixed the deeper issue of why the affair occurred or or did you just come to realize that monogamy is dead why have one when you have a dozen

when you can have a whole pack of 18 eggs and he's scrambling one egg there must be scrambling four who is scrambling one egg that's right chuts and butter in there and some cheese you must scramble at least three eggs and four eggs make an omelet I'll just say that I'll do an omelette is four

an omelette's four absolutely Too full afterwards. Okay, we are getting slightly derailed here. No, that was metaphoric. Metaphoric. Oh, 800,000. I imagine this is going to be an anonymous text phone and topic, to be honest. Yeah.

Being that New Zealand is small and, you know, but we'd love to hear your messages. 9-6-96. Did your relationship survive the affair? Wowza, wowser, wowser. So Dave Grohl and his wife have been seen happy. Apparently, they're doing great. They've survived Dave Grohl's affair that he had a year ago. But not just an affair.

a baby with the other woman as well. A baby? A baby. A baby? A baby. A baby. That's a baby. Oh, dab it. So we want to know right now, did your relationship survive the affair? And we are not short of messages. Absolutely, someone said it can make it better. Happened to me and my husband 18 years later living our best lives. Yeah. But what I want to know.

There is some wild text. My mum and her partner survived three affairs. Now, one of accident. Shame on me. One's an accident. Yeah, once. One, maybe. Yeah, we were just drunk at the conference, you know. I think we just need to have a little hooey about the structure of our relationship.

Okay, but, but, but I haven't even read the last half of the sentence. My mum and her partner survived three affairs, but then she died, so I don't know. What do we say? Okay, well, that was a real twist. That was a ride. So wait, who's one? No one wins. Well, it depends if mum had three affairs and then died.

she clocked out with three on the board. Now, if he had three affairs and then mum died, I would say that's three nil to mum and she's dead. Yeah. No offence. I don't mean that. Is it a dark way? Are there any bonus points?

If mum had two affairs and he had one affair and then mum died, mum still wins. Yeah, okay, great. Someone messaged in and I feel like this would be the case of lots. We tried. Tried for the kids. Once a cheater, though, always a cheater. I was constantly suspicious.

Just couldn't like... But this is why people have this idea of monogamy and, yeah, it's... It's one way to do things. Absolutely. It can make it better. It happened to be my husband 18 years later, best lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just literally read that much ago. I was too confused about mum and the debt. Mum's dead and their partner and who wins. Okay, so many, some juicy stories coming in. Keep them coming. 9-6-960, 800 dials at em. I've asked you today if your relationship survived an affair. And some juicy messages coming in.

Jesus, please get me honest. My husband has had seven affairs now. The only reason I'm still here is same house as the kiddos and finances. Isn't that terrible? Yeah, that's terrible. Call me toxic, but sometimes being with someone else makes you realize what you really want.

I don't even know how to start breaking that down. What? But yeah, that feels toxic. Wow. 100% percent, 100%? Okay. Works every time. Survived an affair, made both of us realize

what we would lose if we didn't work it. We stopped talking to each other. We stopped taking each other for granted. We now put more effort into the relationship because, so not only survive, but the relationship's doing much better. Or they're just better at cheating. And can genuinely say trust has been rebuilt,

lots of hard work to get there for both of us. Anonymous. Nice. Another one, no names, pleased to say yes, it did after 28 years of marriage, old scenario, best friend's wife. Yep. And it's not an easy row, but five years down,

it's getting a lot better. Oh, my goodness. First marriage, one affair each? One each. Again, we're not keeping score here. God, yes, my relationship survived after an affair. My partner and my boyfriend, my partner, cheated on me while I was pregnant eight years ago.

I... Is that unforgivable? I am making a human being. It was a rough time in our marriage, stuck with a house full of kids, and some life-changing stuff going on. I turned to somebody else, told my husband after it happened. I felt so bad, but honestly, the best thing they ever happened.

Had to confront our issues and work through everything, and here we are 10 years later, better than ever. It's cool. There are so many messages. Survive three affairs. It was the fourth. I lost it. Yeah.
