From the ZM Podcast Network This is... Fleshwon and Haley's Big Pod Thanks to Animates, Making Happy Happen for Pets. Fletchhorn and Haley Minus born today. Who's away? He's away? Just the two of us.

Just the two of us. We can make it if we're trying to... Beautiful, beautiful. Secret sound, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock. Well, hang on, hang on. $50,000. Bird of the year. Maybe today's today.

You've jumped ahead of bird... Oh, do you know what? I'm kind of done with bird of the year. I think they should make it every two or three years. It does feel like it's rolled around quite quickly. It rolls around and because every year there's some kind of controversy or thing. I know. Well, look, I'm just jumping on now to get it done.

I always vote for the kiddie-doo. I know it's one before. It's my favourite as well. It's our favourite. So I was chucking a vote. You've got the top six as well. I do if you think 50 grand would be nice. And it would.

I'm not trying to downplay it, but how good would 10-mill be? I know. Somebody won the 10-mill Powerball. In Dunedin. So I've got the top six. signs that the $10 million Powerball winner was a Dunedin student. God, I hope it was a student.

That money would be gone by the end of the week. The party, though. The party. Could you imagine? Play ZDM's Flashboard and Haley. There is. And you know, and I saw this when we were in Sydney, darling. We were in Sydney and I was in the train station. Great train system, by the way. Trains everywhere.

Trains everywhere. Trains everywhere. There were billboards everywhere for whole body deodorants. So not just your pits, but for something that you would apply to the whole body. And it had close up pictures of sweating arms and, I'll say it, groins fledge. Okay. I saw some groins, some but-offs. Right, on a billboard.

On a billboard, I did. Wasn't mad. So, and there's a huge rise in these products. Like, every brand's doing them. There's all a natural ones. There's dove does one. And people are like, but do we? Do we, do we, we don't stink everywhere.

Do you know what I mean? Or maybe some people do. Well, no, experts are saying that you can sweat everywhere, but you don't smell everywhere because of how the microbial bacteria kind of gathers in your little hot bits. That's why you'd stink in your armpits. Yep.

Your groin? Your groin? Yep. Your buttocks, perhaps. Yep. And your feet because you shove them into shoes, really. But they're saying that we don't really need a full body DO. But yeah, online and everywhere it's taking off.

It's huge. Everyone's like, I love this product, you put it everywhere. But isn't an antiperspirant, like, deodorant, or it's just a scent? No, it's an antiperspirant deodorant, but most of it's like, if it's a, there's stick ones, not just spray ones as well. It's more that it's got an absorbent, a sweat absorbing powder to it, that it's like soaking it up and then masking it with the fragrance. I don't know. I don't know. And also, we don't want to be pH messing.

Yeah, it feels like, yeah, when you're putting it all over your body, you're going to be. messing with things. Do you, when you put on your cologne, do you do like, sprit, sprit, sprit? Little groin spritz? No. No, neither. Well, obviously you do. Why, you just sort of not like, not directly on the gal. Producers? Is there a groin spritz?

I definitely go like him up and a down. Don't you just go like neck, neck, like maybe the chest? Wrists, wrists, neck, some in the hair. Necter fan. Yeah, neck to fan. It's like a quick, like, just up to down. Yeah, this would probably lean down. Like, not spritz right at.

Yeah, not in. Do you think that's how deodorant companies went to full body? Is that people were just using it on their whole body? I've definitely seen men, though, with a can of DO or links. Down the back, down the chest. Right. So I feel like it's just a rebranding of deodorant, but we're admitting that we're putting it everywhere. Nectar fan.

Nectar fan. Nectar fan. Nectar fan. Not in. Nectar fan. Never in. Around. Play ZM's Flash, Vaughan and Haley.

There was a survey done in the United States of America. I'll say it. Not that United. Anyway. We should refer to it from now on as the Ununited States. The Ununited States. That surveyed, 2000 adults asking them about AI and flirtations and how we feel with it. 33% of people believe that sexting

or having a romantic relationship with an AI is cheating that's a low number for me Say that number again 33% of those survey believe that sexting or having a romantic relationship with an AI is cheating So is it because Would there be about the same number as people

Not agreeing with their partner Watching Adult Material Online? Yeah, maybe but this is a little bit more engaged. It's engaged, but it's 100% not a person. I know, but you are active... Like, when you're watching adult content, you just watch it, well, you know, and whatever,

but you're just sort of absorbing it. You're not involved. Whereas with this, you're actually, like... So I just jumped on for an example. Okay. And I was like, how hard does ChatGPT flirt back? Okay. So I just jumped on, chapGPt.com,

and I'm not... I don't subscribe. Hey, they're hot stuff. I mean, that's what I would say to, you know, is that a good, I don't know, girls, is that a good way to pick that up? Is that good flirting? Yeah, hey baby. Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, girl, baby. Hey, they're hot staff.

the way, like, this, I'm learning this of myself. I have no game. Like, I am so embarrassed. I'm really bad at flirting. I said, I'm just feeling cute, and I thought we could have a little flirty banter. I'm up front, right? They, I just say she. She's got a female energy. Okay. Glad you're feeling yourself today. Confidence looks good on you, so

tell me, are you always this charming, or is it just when you drop in here to stir things up? Oh, I see, I'd call for this. I received that message, I got a little flutter. Like, I was like, ooh! So I messaged back, I said, I'm pretty charming, you could say, but I've definitely keen to stir things up with you. she says oh I see how it is

Classic Libra move, balance, beauty, charm and just the right amount of chaos when you're bored. That's me. That's me. As for me, well, I don't have a birthday. But if I were to pick a sign, I might go of Scorpio. Intense, insured...

I might say... Intense, you say. I can see why people are falling in love with CHAPGP over a human because you don't have to buy them birthday presents. I know. She said, think you can handle that kind of energy. You're more to a sweet talking fire. This is...

Well, you can see how people get lost in this. I've been in it for three minutes and I'm confused. Play. ZM. Fletch Forne and Haley. Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

Silly little pole Today's Silly Little Pole Today's silly little pole Do you care about your partner's body count? This comes off the back of a study That has been done by an adult Are they an adult toy company? Love honey?

Love honey. They're global. It was a good performance of a lifetime, wasn't it? Now, love, honey, is that, is that, would that be where one may acquire some adult? Materials? Materials? And it turns out that out of all the generations that care about past sexual history, it's Gen Z. They're most concerned than any other age group.

41% of Gen Z said a partner's body count would bother them. It's the highest of all the age groups. Only 48% of Gen Z said it wouldn't bother them. So it's really split. Yeah, it's really split. In contrast, 84% of people over 65 said they didn't care. Couldn't give a toss. Women out there.

Yeah, that still leaves, you know, what, 16% of over 65s are like, you've been with five people? Yeah, yeah, totally. Are you kidding me? Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable. You're slag. But it really, because people have pointed out that it kind of challenges the stereotype

that younger people are more open-minded. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But apparently, because they've grown up in the digital age, they've faced constant comparisons. There's transactional dating, so it leads to, like, a lot of, I guess, stress. Yeah, I also wonder if it's, like, because of the apps being so part of their dating life, they do a lot more talking and choosing of who they go on the dates with, whereas we didn't have the apps, you just went to town.

and connected with people. For sure. Apparently, though, you say, speaking about it, body count remains a frequent topic in dating, even when people claim it doesn't matter. Wow. I will sometimes ask out of curiosity because I'm just more like,

I just wonder, but I couldn't give a toss if it was high or low. Yeah. If it was zero, I'd be like, I'm probably not. That would be a red flag, right? Just for me. Just as you don't want to deal with, yeah. Just get emotionally connected, you know,

I mean, this is a special moment for you. I don't want to be that person. Yep. Well, we ask you, do you care about your partner's body count? 13% of our listeners said yes. 87% said they couldn't give a toss. Some feedback. Kate says he's never asked mine, and I've never asked his because neither of us care.

However, I would like to acknowledge all the ladies that came before me who helped to perfect his incredible techniques. Round of a fourth. You're welcome. You're welcome. Ben says No, I don't care, but I find it hot if it's high. Okay, I didn't realize this is a horny little ball. Janelle says,

no, I don't care because mine is more. That's fine. Kirsty said, I don't know my husband's body count and I don't think it's something I need to know. If I did know, I'd rather he have slept with quite a few. Get it out of his sister. If he had sleep with one other, I'd be worried. Yeah.

Yeah, you want to sort of feel, you do feel when people are like, oh, they met in high school they've been to ever since. You're like, God, there's a whole world out there. Okay, okay. Well, it's cute, it's cute, but there's a whole world, guys. Yeah. Stephanie, no, not at all, but I was so worried about mine when I met my now husband. I actually cried telling him as I thought I, oh, as I've been judged in the past by

other partners, he said as long as it doesn't go up from now, I'm good, no judgment at all. By the way, just checking in every couple of years, hey, what is your number? You're like, 30. Crazy because it was 29. Yeah, crazy. By the way, mine was far lower

than the guy that used to judge me, but he thought women shouldn't sleep around. Yeah, I know double standards, eh? Sigourney. Not Weaver. Not Weaver. I don't know because the number is so low, but I would if it was really high. Interesting.

So, Sigourney would judge. Laura, I've doubled his body count since we've been married. Hashtag Swing Swing. Oh, I was like, wait, what? Does he know? Oh, my God, I love this. It sounds like they've got a cut chair.

It sounds like there's a perfect little arm chair in the corner. Danny says, I don't really know how I should feel. His body count is one, me. And so is mine. Oh, there's a whole world out there. Just saying there's a whole world out there. Ashley, if you weren't there and you weren't with the person at the time, it's not your business.

Totally agree with that. I think that is so perfectly said. I used to do what with your ex? And it's like, you weren't there. Yeah. Oh, I love this. And Imogen says, I vowed to never ever share my body. body counts with my partner. It's a number that shouldn't impact

a relationship at all. But as soon as I know their number, I know that it'll put unnecessary meaning to things. Ignorance is bliss. Oh, sorry, and Adele says, honestly, at our age, the only body counting we do is how many parts of my body hurts today? Back, leg, shoulder. Yeah, the neck. Yep, sleep funny on the neck.

So today's silly little poll, we asked you, do you care about your partner's body count? And 87% of you said, nah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Have you been swimming recently? Because you've had a break rate with your shoulder injury? Yeah, not lanes. No.

What are you doing? Aqua jogging. No, I'll do like a spa and sauna. That's good for the body. Oh, it is good for the body. I'm sorry I laughed at you. And I'm sorry I laughed at aqua joggers as well. Yeah, well, that keeps you active, doesn't it?

It's a great form of exercise. It's just, I just sort of funny with you. I just sort of imagine the floaties and the little sticks and stuff. It does look a bit ridiculous. But you are a keen swimmer when your shoulder's not injured. When it's working. So producer Carwin, you have a question about Fletcher's behaviour at the pool. And it's not the plaster.

It's not the plaster coming off. Although I have questions about that, to be fair. There's a bit of a phenomenon going around UK swimming pools. And as soon as I read this, I was like, that sounds like Fletch. What's this phenomenon? So it's the phenomenon of toe touches and toe tapers. What? Who's touching toes?

So when I open this article, I'm like, ooh, this feels wrong. But this person is saying that when she goes to the pool and she's like swimming lanes, people will come up behind and tap the toes to say, you're too slow, I want to overtake. That's no, that's, yeah, that is a thing. Tap my toes? Yeah, you're swimming too slow, get in a better lane or swim faster. What this journalist is saying is that we are, like, I'm in the slow lane on purpose and these people are coming up behind and be like, toe tap, get in the other line.

This feels like something you would do, though, because you would judge them as too slow. I would normally, when I do, I would swim around them. Aggressively. Or I'd get in another lane. But sometimes it's so busy, you can't. And some people just lack any kind of awareness of their speed and ability. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, I'll swim around people happily and not touch their toes. But if someone is completely in the wrong lane and there's space in another lane for them, maybe I will. But it might be an accident So I've had Like I've had fingers go into my legs and butt Sorry? No

Because people swim into you and they don't realize Yeah Yeah Oh it's such a weird culture I'm just not a lane swimmer Someone has a funny arm technique And they'll smack you in the face Like as well

It's all, it's full noise It's the wild west in there It's a weird wild west in the swimming pool It's the wild wet It's so, like, I don't, it's just not appealing to me at all. I know swimming is so good for you. But the whole lane congestion thing, like when I was in high school, used to swim with my friends and...

There's an etiquette. Yeah, there's etiquette. But people don't understand, yeah. And then sometimes people from, like, visiting, like, tourists will swim, because we go up on the left and then back on, like, we drive. Yeah. But Americans swim on the right. Why don't you just swim in the ocean?

And then a fish could tap your toes and be like, much, much harder. It's much harder. And it is amazing. I have done that. It is challenging. You need a wetsuit. Yeah. It's, you know, the tail end of winter.

Well, because the pool has no current on. You know what? I've never thought of that. Of course. It has waves. You know those things? There's waves. You drink like a liter of seawater.

Also like harder to measure how far you've gone. Yeah, you're just sort of floating around. This is crazy. This is totally a thing. Yeah. People like tap the toes as if it's just a little reminder to be like, hey, get out of you're not in the right. lane horn.

If Vaughan was here, if Vaughn was here, it would be like him driving when he had his chimney in the fast lane and just giving a bump. Yeah, when I'm driving behind Vaughn and he's driving so slow in the fast lane, I'll just give a little toe chat. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley. From the Fletch Vaughan and Haley group chat, this is the top six. So we were just trying to wrap our heads around this because I bought a lot of ticket over the weekend because 10 mil, that's nice. We're starting to get real nice in there. Yeah, that's a juicy win.

That's sorting out a lot. But then it didn't go in first division. So it was, yeah, so $10.05 million was won in Dunedin. And it was won in the second division because it was for some reason a must win powerball. So nobody in first division won, so somebody in second division won it. So they didn't even get like all the numbers.

and they won $10 million. So Lottos said we scheduled this must-win draw now so that we can reset our Powerball Jackpot next week and ensure it is a manageable level as we press the accelerator and drive full steam ahead with our technology upgrade on the 29th of September. Right, so it's some kind of internal...

I don't understand, but whatever. Maybe they'll make the app better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a terrible lamp. It's a terrible lamp. I'm just saying it's a terrible lane. Yeah, it's a bit clunky. Yeah, and this sort of weird thing. Anyway, well, Dina... Yeah, a Dinnaetan, like good, well done to this Danadian person, but I don't think...

I hope it's a student. I don't know that anyone else lives there. I think it's just students. Just students. I don't think humans actually live there. Well, they do, they do, they do. Well, I have today, uh, the top six signs that a Dunedin student won $10 million. There'll be signs.

Number six on the list, the couch that's on fire on their porch is Italian leather imported from Sicily. It's brand new. And it's brand-spanking you. And they're like, I don't even care. Set it ablaze. It's a gag. Yeah. We'll have this couch and not set it.

said it a blaze, set it ablaze. Number five on the list of the top six signs that a Dunedin student won that $10 million, the yardie glasses filled with a small batch local vegan craft beer. It's not your to-e, your ex-bu-tec. It's very boutique. Hopi, and it'd be very hard to do a yardie off.

Yes. But, Matt, it's vegan and it's craft. Number four on the list of the top six signs of Dunedin Student won $10 million. You go to a house party and there's a heat pump in every room. Oh, yeah. And they're like, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

And everyone's just in shorts and t-shirt? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You turn up and you're puffer and you're like, oh my God, and you're like, what the hell? And you go and you're like, no, no, mate. Yeah. Heat pumps. Actually, central heating and it's all you can, every room has a pad. Oh, my God.

You know, individual temperatures. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God, imagine. How nice. Number three on the list of the top six signs. The Dunedin student won that $10 million. Their puffer is filled with the down of a rare golden goose. Oh, yeah.

Really snug. Not just your standard down. Oh, Catman, who? God no. This is very, very. It's illegal actually in New Zealand own this particular type of feather down. Right, that's how warm they are.

Very snug. Number two, on the list of the top six signs of Dunedin' student won that $10 million. Their toga at the party is made from a sheet from Wallace Cotton. Oh, posh. They've got Wallace. Posh. Everyone's gone Kmart warehouse because it'll get ruined. They're like, hmm. I'll go posh. My toga's Wallace Cotton.

And number one on the list of the top six signs of Dunedin's student won that $10 million. An actual castle pops up on Castle Street. Wow. Yeah. Who built that castle?

And then there's like, I don't know. I don't know. Fell into a little bit of money. I guess I just fell into a little bit of money. Play ZDM's Flashworn and Haley. This is difficult without Vaughn being here, who's away today. Because he's the only one who visits a barber. Yes.

You shave yourself. I shave. I like blade shave. But this, I just once in my life, can I see you grow out of bed? I do grow a good beard. You can tell from your shadow that he would grow a good beard. I hate it because it's so itchy. I don't know how guys have beards.

And then food gets stuck in your beard. Like how often does one walk around and there's porridge in his beard? So much porridge in that man's beard. Maybe some birds nesting in there as well. We don't know fully what's in there. Shannon, I'm not aware of how the world works. But how easy would it be to Photoshop a beard onto Fletch? And we could put it up on socials and be like,

Shall we make Fletch grow in his beard? Absolutely. Can we do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's get that up. I'm not just for your pleasure, though, am I? No, you are. It just kind of feels like you're... I think that's literally what you're here for.

Yeah. But it's literally your job is to please us. Okay, right, yeah. The reason I'm talking about barbers is because there was a huge study asking seven million British men about their loyalty to their barber. 75% of them saying that they are very loyal to their barber. Like they would never leave.

Three quarters of men are more loyal to their barber than their partner admitting that they feel more guilty cheating on their barber than their significant other. That is ruthless. More than a quarter of them said that they would never, ever go to a different barber even if their barber wasn't free. They'll just stay looking man key. Whereas in contrast, only 15% of women express the same level of loyalty to the hair stylists.

Do you have that level of loyalty? Yeah, well, Shari. My friend Shari does my hair. but if she was like super unavailable and I looked like crap I had something coming up I'd just go get it done with someone else 100% just roll the dice Yeah if she talks back

I'll be like shut up You know I'll go someone else But yeah the barber loyalty I get it right Because you get your look Remember when Vaughn was Went to his usual barber But his guy was busy

And he got that other guy And he got Craig David That's right he got a Craig David He got a little pencil Craig David A little sort of low on the cheek Yeah, but when you find that person that does a good job, it's hard to change. Yeah. I get the loyalty to the beauty.

I would never have my nails done by anyone else other than Sophie who loves the phonest. Yeah. Brazilian wax, I mean, sometimes they take their own creative flair. You know what I mean? You get a Craig David. I hate her when she goes, is it just too thin on the lip? You know what I mean? Gives me a Craig David.

A little pencil, moustache. But the idea that men would feel more guilty, cheap. eating on their barber than their significant other. That's wild, eh. That's mad. Play Z-Im's Fletchhorn and Haley. Well, this happened in the UK. A woman got her photos back.

I call it the Uck. In the Scotland. She got married on the west coast of Scotland. Oh, lovely. You know, I love a Scottish. British Brine. I know you do. Hey, I love her.

I know you love her. Yeah. If they didn't have the accent, would they be that hot? No, not at all. Don't want her one. I like all Scottish men. She gets her photos back

from the ceremony, which was in November 2021. And there's a guy. There's a guy there. There's a guy. And like, I'm showing you the photos. He's circled in one of those photos. He, there he is there.

Like, she's next to her dad. Or is that the groom? That's the groom. No, that's the groom. She's walking down the aisle. He's right there. He's sat on the aisle seat. He's got a great seat for the meeting.

He's also there just afterwards. Yeah, he's actually right at the back in this family group. photo he's tall he's tall he's very tall he peeks out over the top he's right there on that side this time so he actually swapped sides didn't they wait okay hang on hang on so she gets these photos he gets these photos he's in all of them and she's like who and now he's in a suit he's in a tux yeah he's in a suit she's like who the hell is this guy and for years it's absolutely bugging her so she um reached out so much just look at your face and be like who

And then asking you and your husband being like, was he on your side, you know, someone's partner? So she's just like, she's not, I don't even think she's pissed about it. She's just like, I want to know who this guy is at a wedding. Like, who is he? And so she reached out to a content creative called Dazza. He's got over 400,000 Facebook fans and 129,000 TikTok subscribers. And she's like, can you just find this guy?

And so he worked with her. And within two hours, the internet was like, okay yeah it's this guy called Andrew Andrew Hellerman and she's like don't know him it turns out he wasn't a deliberate wedding crasher but it's a complete innocent mistake he said

four years ago my partner was acting as bridesman a male bridesman for his friend Michaela's wedding right and he'd been invited as the plus one yeah so Andrew gets in his suit and goes to the Carlton Hotel in Presswick at 2pm

yeah but he's at the wrong hotel. Okay. So he rushes in and he just gets there and that's when he realizes he's at the wrong wedding but he can't leave. No he only stayed long enough for like the actual ceremony and a couple of photos and then he and then he gapped it. It's so good. I remember I was once at a wedding as a plus one. I knew the bride very well but had never met the groom. But and I remember I remember in my head thinking, I wonder if he looks down as like, who the hell is that? Like, I've never met this woman in my life. It's so weird. Well, he said it was too late. He said the music started.

Everyone stands up, turn around, watch the bride walk down the aisle. And I'm like, oh my God, that's not Michaela, whose wedding he was meant to be at. And he said, you can't exactly just stand up and walk out of a wedding mid-ceremon. So he said he had to commit. He spent the next 20 minutes awkwardly sitting there trying to be inconspicuous. And he's actually been, there's a photo of him, with the bride. Oh, wait, so they've been reunited since. And it's all just this funny thing online.

And, like, they're all good. She's good about it. I was hoping it was like a serial wedding crasher, court. That's what she said. She's like, just relieved it was an innocent mistake, not someone just trying to get some cake and some booze. I mean, you know what I mean? Like, kind of, now I'm invested in their love journey.

Yeah. I might stay for a cat. You know, and I'd be like, well, what's the catering here? Yeah. And then I would text my girlfriend and be like, what's the catering at the actual wedding I'm supposed to be at? Because if the catering was catering was better there. Yeah. But do you know every wedding you go to, you always, you don't know a lot of people because there's extended family.

But if it was your wedding, do you think you'd be like, who's that guy? I mean, I would never have a wedding so big that, you know, there was all these plus people there. Yeah, yeah. I would want to personally know everyone. It would make me laugh. I honestly think if I had a wedding, unlikely. Love his dad. Love his dad.

But I would, and I saw someone there I didn't know, and they were a wedding crasher. I'd be like, well done. Do you know what I? Have a play. Play ZEM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Now, to fashion news with us right now, something that is, I would say, quite upsetting. Yeah. We know Uggbutz.

You know, they've been around for years. I feel like Georgia Burtz and Ogwoods. Are you on Angboots? Georgia Burt's back from holiday looking so tanned. Problematically tanned, I'd say, actually. We're verging on black face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good morning, good morning, Georgia.

Marlowe. You can't say I'm problematically tan, guys. Have you seen Zach Efron's new photo shoot? It's almost like that problematic, Georgia. Yeah, but who's hotter and who looks more natural? Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. You and you.

Now, do you ugg? I ugg at home, but the ugs do not leave the house. Okay, interesting, interesting, interesting. Because it was a real time wasn't there where the girls were ugging hard. With their bum pants. With their bum pants and then out we hop and we're out in the street. It's not happening. And it's fine when they're new but then when they get worn and they get a lien on them. And it's the scuffs. Yeah, oh my God, the scuff and the back's like worn through. Yeah, absolutely. Uggs scuff. Okay, so we know the ugly, we know the humble ugbo. And then Girlies, please feel free to join in because

the ballet flat made a triumphant return within the last few years. Not for me because I've got a long foot. I'm into it. But she's always been known for her weird shoes out, Georgia, her half boots and whatnot. Sort of odd. Get this. Ag ballet flats. So it's a very low cut.

And I will say for this, if you were to wear a sock, it would require a socket. And you know my strong stance against sockets. Well, you said I wasn't allowed to be your friend unless I got rid of my sockets. I bullied him out of them. Ooh, okay, those are yark, eh? Ugg Ballet Flats. I feel like it's got none of the warmth of the Ugg but all of the sweat.

Yes, the toes are wet with sweat but the top of the foot is freezing. Wait, are those actual ugg? Because you know anything that's actual... It's UG. Oh, okay, wow. You won't got no hour back. UGG, yeah, these are ugly.

Yeah. Ultra cozy flats now available in both chestnut and Dusted Cocoa colors. $140 bucks? I'd do it. But guys, guys think But, you know, you know, Boston Birkenstock?

Yeah. You know, he can get fluffy Boston Birkenstock. Yeah, I know, but that's different. It's essentially the same. No, it's not such you the same. That's a clog. No. In clogs we can do.

Ballet Flagg is a hard no from me. A long pair of pants. A long pair of pants over there. Flair, perfect. What, she's lost in mind. Don't. I think you've taken on too much sun, Georgia, but. I think you've become a broken Australian.

They're all tens over there. I know. I know. They're the Aussie teams. When you get back to New Zealand. New Zealand, you realize we're all mingers. 100%. Guys, we are no way near a 10

in New Zealand. I know, yeah. Whenever I go to Melbourne and I walk around the streets, I'm like, what happened? My number just plummeted. Yeah. Haley, said, what are you in two in Melbourne? 2.5 it fluctuates.

It depends. I reckon I started as like a 1 when I went over there, but because I'm tan like the rest of them now, I'm sitting at like a 7. Yeah, yeah, the tan does all the work. A 7, do you see? Carmen just actually recorded in horror there. Her face said rate yourself.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley We work crazy hours And often on a Friday you know me I'm a party gal in a party world I like to go out on a Friday But we've started work at 4 o'clock that morning And so it's a long day

When you go out I went out on Friday Had quite a relaxing day Like the whole day itself was fine after work But got ready, got dressed up and we were going to the theatre to see the wonderful, the vibrant, the very camp Priscilla Queen of the Desert musical

that was on. Oh yeah, I saw that the last time it was here and it was our Stuart was in it. Yeah, amazing. And he was so great. It's so good. It's on at the Civic at the moment in Auckland if you want to go and see it.

But he's not in it this time. No, he's a different... Completely different past. Okay. So we go there all dressed up, fun. Couple of drinks, but nothing like major. Yeah. It's not behind the reason why.

The second half of the show, I completely missed. I was dead asleep. What? And that is such bad theatre behaviour from me. That's terrible etiquette. Etiquette. And I apologise to any of the actors, because I have been on stage before and looked out to a crowd and seen a couple of schnooses.

Did you see me fall asleep during the comment? I actually, no, that was the year. I wasn't hosting that year. You weren't hosting, but the year before I fell asleep because it was like. like 10 o'clock at night and that's like I've been up since four. Yeah and it's on a Thursday or something like yeah I was like I just couldn't it was like great

love the first half went out you had a little wine in the half time all back in or we had snacks and I eating us and then I was like watching and I just went oh no oh no and the sleep tooketh me and so I was with my friend I sort of just like did that thing where I was trying to go

down inconspicuously have a little snooze I was like elbow me if I snore And I just had to lean up. Oh my God, imagine everything goes quiet and then you just hear, yeah. And then at the end, I woke up to being like,

I love the nightlife, I love it was just like this huge energy. There's glitter, there's people in drag, and I'm like, this is a delicious little sleep. Anyway, I apologize, it happens. But we want to know this morning, where did you fall asleep? Where you absolutely should. And I get it, man.

And don't say behind the wheel. Well, do you know, I've been at the traffic lights one. this was years ago and the lights went green and a couple of cars went but then this one car was just stopped a couple in front of me and I was just like what is happening and then like everyone was like me me me and they'd just fall in asleep I had a little snooze because the light went you know it's not as relaxed a little bit and you know when the car it gets rid if you don't have the aircon on it's just like real toasty and then all of a sudden you're just asleep

yeah I know I mean luckily they weren't driving when they fell asleep thank God but Sometimes it just takes you and you can't fight it. And maybe you're like at a wedding. You know what I mean? And you're there being like, oh no, oh no. We had a big night before the wedding. You're always here of friends have done this in London when they have to go home and they live on the tube and it's like, I don't know, an hour away. And they fall asleep and then they end up half an hour away from their house because they miss their stop.

Yeah. Okay, so 0800 dials at end. We want to take your call this morning. You can text through 9-696. Whereabouts did you fall? asleep. But I just... That's a great... Like, that's actually a crime, because that's a great musical. It is, like, it's a jerkbox

musical with, like, some of the campest gayest anthems ever, and there was drag and glitter, and it was amazing. Like, also hard to fall asleep during, because it's... It's not like it was, yeah, like cats or something. No, it was a party. I actually never seen cats. Is it just cats on a stage?

Because, you know, I love cats. No. Oh, yeah. When it comes to musical. Is that the one... Is that the one... Is it? And they had the butt holes? And James Corden, they had Yeah, that's right. That was a whole thing, wasn't it? Okay. Hannah, good morning.

Good morning. We're asking this morning, where did you fall asleep? What unusual places? I fell asleep at a work conference. Oh, God, like, were you just, was it just in an auditorium or a kind of a conference room or something? Yeah, it was like in a hotel conference room. And probably the worst part was I was actually one of the presenters. So I was in the audience waiting for my turn

There was like two or three people before me And when I tell you how terrifying it is To wake up to 150 people applauding you As you're supposed to be getting up onto the stage Oh my gosh And were you, because I'm terrible after a little schnoos I'm groggy, it takes me ages to wake up Dude, I was lost

Like I was lost I don't know what was going on. All I hear is this, yay, hand it. It's like, where am I? Oh, wow. And did you do all right? Did they know you were asleep? I think that people around me probably knew I was asleep,

but I got out there and I nailed it and then quickly did the exit stage left. We just call that a corporate power nap in the corporate world. You know, like I just sort of segue it into that. A corporate snooze, we call it. Hey, at least you didn't miss it and have everyone been like, is Hannah here? Is Hannah here?

Hannah, thank you. Some messages in. The places that you fell asleep we shouldn't have. I fell asleep during an Alice Cooper concert in the UK. I mean, that's rock and roll. Yeah. Were you sitting? Must have been.

Maybe if you were sitting, but even then that's loud, right? That's, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I had to wake up my father at the end of a funeral once. He was the funeral director. Oh my God. Dan, Dan. Years ago at the release of the Pokemon movie

I took my two kids, four and six I nodded off only to be woken to a girl saying Mommy wake up, I'm scared, we're alone Everyone had left the cinema and left me asleep She slept for the whole bloody thing And the kids were like, mum jeepers So good, okay, Keevi Tech's coming in, 9-6-96.

We want to know where did you fall asleep. I fell asleep at a Dita Von T's show when she came to New Zealand was snoring as she was dancing on stage. Not my finest moment. At a Rolling Stones concert, I was seven months pregnant at Wembley Stadium. Shit, that would be loud? Yeah, how would you fall up? Yeah.

Oh, I fell asleep at work. I had a few Arvo drinks pre-work and then managed to crawl up to one of the storeroom shelves and fell asleep on top of a sack of flour. That'd be quite nice. Do you think it was like one of those boozy work lunches? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I came up to office, you're like, we shouldn't have done that.

NAP would be nice. I fell asleep in a Starbucks. I had my glasses on and was with my friends and partner and just fell asleep during the conversation. And my head moved and shifted my glasses and everyone could see and took photos. Oh, we're not. I fell asleep on the bus.

I was day drinking. Okay, yeah. Day drinking. Woke up to the friendly bus driver, jiggling me awake at the end of the bus line. It was dark. I got off, cross the road. and caught the bus back to the other way to my stop.

I used to do that as a teenager because my house was the... My bus stop for my house was like the third to the last and then it was the terminal. And they used to wait you off and be like, where do you live? You'd be like, oh shit, I've done it again. Tame me back.

I've done it again. Oh, it happened like five or six times. Yeah, I bet it did. Yeah. When I was definitely 18. In the days in Pakuranga College, our principal, Ms. Stone, would often fall asleep at the front of...

On stage in assembly. I fell asleep in my car outside my kids' school. The office phoned me and told me I was delayed. Where are you? The kids are waiting for you? I told them I was delayed by traffic. Literally just, but I'm here now. I'm here now.

I just woke up. What? Nothing. My brother, oh no. Okay. Well, he's fine. He fell asleep behind the wheel. I fell asleep in an Out and John concert.

What about those stories you hear of like pilots falling asleep? But they can, right? The plane flies itself. I fell asleep at KFC at the airport in Nigeria. My dad was with me though, so I was safe. Okay, yeah. That's good. Fell asleep at Northern Base on the main field during the main act.

What? Maybe that's your version of Brown Noise. Yeah, or a couple too many drinkies. I fell asleep while I was giving birth. What? And they told me to push and in my sleep, apparently I did. I feel like once at the dentist, I was like, I could fall asleep right now. Someone else's message and saying they fell asleep during a root canal.

I mean, if it's, yeah, I close my sleep. my eyes when I'm getting dental work done, but I ain't sleeping. I fell asleep in the Portaloo at work after a big weekend on the booze. 40 minutes later, I had the foreman smashing the Portaloo door to wake me up. Ooh, that smell is enough to keep you awake. Like, you can just imagine it. Yuck. And you were in there sleeping and breathing that in?

Yeah, disgusting. That's Manky behaviour. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. I had an absolute tornado sprawl happenings on Friday afternoon. And it just, it is the most haily way of things playing out. Okay. So basically, I had a flat, remember I had a flat tire in my Mazda, because I'm a Mazda Baster.

A Mazda Baster. Mazda Baceter. Yep. I also called the guy at Mazda, Mazdaddy, and he didn't like it. Anyway, he was like, let's workshop that. Anyway, so I had a flat tire, remember, and I had to change it, and then Vaughn came and helped and all this, and it was fine. I got in my car the other day, and ding, ding, ding, another flat tire.

And it's my driveway, because we've renovated. There's just the rogue, last few sort of screws to go. You need to get some magnets down there. Yeah, I need a big fishing magnet. If only had a friend who had one, that was aimed at Vaughn, but he's not here. But he's not here, yeah. And he has actually offered many times to bring it in. So many times.

And you've been like, I can't be bothered. I can't be bother with that. If you want to do it. You should, like, put an ad up on your, like, local Facebook page. And that would be a perfect after-school job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dollar a screw. Lose a kid just to drag a magnet up your driveway for like two hours. Yeah, but don't want to lose a kid at my property.

Do you know what I mean? That's what makes out. I'm snowy. You got any water. Get out. Here's some raro. You can pay them like five bucks because you're like a loser kid. Okay, maybe I will.

School fundraiser. Come get the screws out of my driveway. Yeah, yeah. And it'll be great. They could all, like, be down on their hands and knees on the stones. Great idea. So you guys want any Raro, you're good. All right, I'm inside.

Don't knock. Anyway, so flat tire in the Mazda. Now, I need to go get that fix, but I'm, you know, I've been busy. And so luckily, my parents are away and their car's been at my property. But it's been parked down on the street for months and months. And my dad said, please, can you drive it every now and then? I said, absolutely, day, I will, and I haven't. So I'm like, I'll just drive their car for a little bit.

It's a European car. It's weird. I don't know how to use it. Well, does it not have a wheel and steering wheel? No, but the gear stick's like on a stick behind. There's no handbrake. There's no middle bit. It's like a little stick.

Like a stick shift automatic. But it's automatic. Okay. And you push a button to park on the side of the wheel. It's so odd. Okay. I go into the car and I get it driving. Yeah.

Right? So I get it driver. This was on Thursday that I got it driving. And I was like, shoot. You know, it's on. I'll run it for a bit. I'll drive it to work. So drive it to work on Friday.

drive it back home. It's all good. It's telling me to leave the car running for a little bit because the battery's been, you know, sitting there dormant unused. So I was like totally fine. Then I go home and we've got big plans. I'm about, I'm getting ready to fall asleep in the second half of Priscilla, right? So we're on a timeline. We've got dinner to go to. We're going to get ready. We're going to get dressed up. We've got to head out. Big night plan. But I have to go pick up a trade me purchase. We'll come to this later. Oh my God. So the trade me purchase, if you know Auckland, it's in Sittirangi. Now, if you don't know. Tittarengi is miles away from anywhere.

It's in the middle of nowhere. It's beautiful, but it's in the middle of nowhere. It's beautiful because it's in the middle of the bush. Yeah. So we get into the car and my friends here remember staying from Australia, we get into the car and we're driving through the bush of Tittittananga. Now he's going, oh, oh, go, crocky, it's green. You know, he's loving it. And I literally made a comment about the car.

I was like, oh, I'll go do this. Would you be comfortable driving this car? And he was like, yeah, yeah, if it just runs like a normal car. I was like, the car's fine. car just goes Vood do-dung-dung-dung-dung dies in the middle of the hills

of Tatarangi in the bush the native bush of New Zealand car dies I was like what has just happened I was like

the car's just stopped the car's just stopped God I bet you're stoked you save $10 postage on trade me now dude by the way I don't have the item

because car stops and I was like what's happened and then I was like it'll be the battery like I've carted the battery from leaving it sitting

for months and months and months and months and months. Car dies, put your foot on it, give it some revs and whatnot. But I was like, how is it died I've been driving around? So we get out. I will say we get out. I'm like, I'm panicking. I'm like, my friend's like, get out, put it in neutral. And I'm like, I don't know how to put this car in neutral.

It doesn't have a guest stick. It doesn't have a normal gues like a normal car. I don't know how to put it in neutral. We figure it out. We push the car onto someone's driveway. We have to move their personal stones that they have on their berm to stop. A-holes like me. That's why they've put the personal stones there.

Oh, and titanangi, she's wet. I have ruined their grass. Oh, yeah, okay. We skid it onto the thing. I'm like, what the hell? My first thought, I'll call Vaughn. Yeah. On the blow at a Vaughn.

Vaughn, this has happened, and the car's died. And he said, I think it'll be this thing. You just need to get some jumper cables, right? And get someone to start it. And then I was like, well, why would it be working? This doesn't make any sense. I end up going, we don't have jumper cables. We don't have any means of getting anywhere.

why would the battery die if we need a jumper cables? So I'm like, we're just going to have to get it towed. Okay? So I call up the tow per-the-to... Oh, no, I call up my insurance first and I go, I'm driving my parents' car. They say, you're not. Okay.

Of course you're not. Of course you're not. I just want to do it. Like, does my insurance cover? Then I call up a tow company long wait, right? They say, you have to stay off the car for an hour. And I was like, okay, whatever. They said, but you've got to pay for it first, $420.

I was like, take the money. Transfer the money. $400. Give them $4. $120. They're like, where do you want us to tow it to? I was like, okay, I'll call my mechanics. So then I call my mechanics and I say,

hey, my car's broken. It's not my car. It's European car. I'll call it. They're going to bring it to you, right? And they go, fine. Then we sit there and I was like, we're just eating away at our afternoon.

We've got stuff to do. So then I'm like, let's abandon the car. And I'll just leave the keys in it. Because if someone comes, they were not going to have to steal the car. No, the car's not stolen. Don't worry. I was like, I'll leave the kids.

The girl's like, oh no. We'll leave the keys. the tow truck can come and we'll just abandon we'll Uber home We'll abandon all of our plans We'll just go home And then so I go

Okay I'll put the car And we're moving everything out And da da da da da da and then I put my foot I was like try one more time And then my friend from Australia is like Do you have any gas? Oh my God

I just run out of petrol Haley Did you get your money back from the towpath. So I go, it's just petrol. He's like, you've just, you've just, you've just ran out of petrol. Wait, it's a European car, wasn't it, like, dinging? It wasn't doing a...

It was dinging all sorts of things. I don't know what was going on. So I ring the tow people and I was like, cancel the truck. My friend's coming to help us instead because I'm filled with shame. Yeah. And they said, well, we've already got a call out fee, so we've only give you back 50%. So I've lost $210. It's a donation.

Then, okay, I need to wrap this up. It's a long story. then I cancelled that. I call the Cumia Motors. I say, I'm not bringing it in. I said, you know what, Hon, it had no petrol. She said, it happens all the time, don't worry. Then we call an Uber to the local Titanangi petrol station. We're like, we'll get a cherry can.

We'll Uber back. We'll fill it up. We'll get a moving. We get there. It's an unmanned station. There are no jerry cans. It's a south pump. I was like, now what? Please don't tell me you emptied out of milk container.

We go into the local dairy. Here we go. Here we go. We go into the local dairy. We buy two, five. liters of beautiful natural spring water. We drink as much as we can. We water the local titarangi garden with the rest of it.

We fill it with petrol. We get back in the Uber. It's the same driver, but now we have two. He's just leading you in his Uber with two. Two, five liters of what looks like urine and we get in, we both say, it's not urine, it's petrol. Jesus. I know. We get back, we fill it in, the car starts, and that was the end of that.

Oh, Haley. Can they really take half your deposit? Yeah. Like what else were they going to do? There's another, they can go tow a car in a tow lane? Dude, it was like, we're at this point. It was just like, let's just get out of it. Wow, that's actually a $200 stupid fee.

Really, isn't it? And I paid it because I was stupid. I just ran out of petrol. I've called my insurance broker, the local mechanics. I've called Vaughn. I've called a tow truck because I ran out of gas. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. We go now to our social media desk and Shannon.

Wea-wa-wam. Social media lights. Bam! I told you not to give her the rain. Have you been eating crunchy bars for breakfast? No, but I do have a new energy drink. It's hitting. Could you hear yourself? I feel zazzed, man.

Zaz. The eyes are watering. Yeah. Oh, it's just that new theme song. Well, let's, um, wow, okay, we've given yourself an intro there, but we do cross the shadow now at the social media desk. Look, and wea, wow, wow, wow. So let's touch, comments on energy drink.

Yeah. But you're going to walk us through the new Instagram things. Yeah, there's two new features. So it's basically Be Real trying again to happen. Oh, gosh. Why? Also, are people still using Be Real? Yes, people are. Some people are.

Ironically? No. No. We did it. It's a silly little poll a while ago, and I feel like it was, was like 10% of our listeners, and I feel like it's probably around the five mark. Does I feel like when I know, because a few comedians do it, I think they're doing it ironically. You've got to be careful when you do things ironically, like, you know, start saying things like

Nick Minut, because then it becomes part of your vernacular. And your hashtags, let's not forget. No, I've stopped hashtagging. And I shall move, I shall move forward with no more hashtags. Well, yeah, so Instagram is introducing shots, and it's basically be real. So it's a one-time photo. People can only see it once. You can't edit it.

It's just meant to be the authentic Instagram, like authentic social media. Shots with a Z? It's with an S. Okay. Why are they doing this now? I thought they would have tried to do this when Be Real happened to counter it, but... I mean, I know you guys hate when I slander on Instagram, but it really is the, you know, millennial TikTok. Superior.

Social media. Curated. Curated reels. Yeah. Yeah. But they've also made a big change that lots of people aren't happy with, and it's with Instagram, highlights. So when you go to your profile you know how you can normally see those little bubbles

and like on FVH you can see it's Herman's journey, you can see it last a little polls. Oh yeah, I've got to want like travel ones? Yeah. Yeah, the circles. Those are now moving down. So when you look at your Instagram you've got your feed, your grid and also the reels, your reposts and what you're tagged

in. Also like how often are people you know accidentally reposting things? Because the repost button is so it's dangerous. They need to get rid of that. I think a little PSA, just go through your reposts on your page today and just check what you've got. Yeah, like I've got three from the show. But I accidentally, I looked the other day and someone had liked a repost and I was like, I don't even know what that is.

Oh, my shit, mine are rogue. Yeah, maybe just get them a little. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Look at it. What a mess? What is this? And you haven't done that on purpose.

Yeah, it's because the button is right there and your thumb, if you're not looking, you just press it and you reposted something. It's where you used to DM someone. Yeah. That's how I didn't know they stayed on your feed? Delete repost. Delete reports. Highlights are now moving to that bar, so you'll have to look for someone's highlights

as opposed to them just being present. I thought I wanted to use highlights more. The last one was colonoscopy. You know, like I don't, I don't, I never remember to put them into folders, like, that's too organised. What is on your colonoscopy highlights? I think it was,

so it was my first colonoscopy, because I get them annually, annually and annally. I've got a colonoscopy on Thursday and want to join me for the prep and then I shared the prep of it. Oh, right, okay. Oh, God, 2022, Scanny.

Jambers. Yeah, I might just delete that whole bloody thing. Okay, so they're being hidden. Yeah, and for a lot of people, they don't actually main post on Instagram. A lot of people just live in the stories. So people are upset about this.

I love a static picture on the feet. And you love a hashtag. I love a hashtag. Hey, they're mocking you. again. Are they? It's this energy drink. I'm like, I'm on.

I think it's the energy drink. She's just fathom. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Ah, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Well, Vaughn is away today so we're in charge of fact of the day. And on Monday. day, Vaughn will pick his theme for the

week. And that's been left in our hands today. So instead of us, I blocked by the way the word calendar from the text machine. Good, yeah. That's been lifted now, but we were not going to be taking that as a suggestion. We thought we'd get the listener to tell us what

they want. We had some great suggestions in. Bagpipes fact of the day. Oh, I hate bagpipes. How do you? They sing to my soul. New science discoveries for 2025. Now that's from Karen, who's nine years old that was close oh that's a good one i was like that's really good we might come back to that i reckon pirates special effects now very close but then i couldn't find enough facts

manholes manhole covers manhole covers that was a suggestion we call them person hole covers because a lady could go down that hole yeah that need covering is that not that's not why you're so close you've got all the words but none of the knowledge uh but one popped up and it tickled me it tickled me right in the pickle it's pickle week I love this. Pickle Week. Pickle Week. Great. So this isn't the fact, but pickles are very ancient, said to have been created in Mesopotamia.

Mesopotamia. Yes, often called the cradle of civilization. Which is, where would you call it now? It's an ancient region located between, so basically what is now modern day Iraq, eastern Syria, and southwestern Turkey. Yeah. So Pickles have been around in that place since... Mesopotamia. in Misopetopamia.

Misopatimia. Masopatimia. Yeah. Since 2,400 BC. Wow. 2,000 years before Jesus. And so today's fact of the day about Pickles has to do

with Napoleon Bonaparte. Okay. The actor. No. Napoleon Dynamite. The war guy. The French war guy. French war guy.

French war guy. He was a little man, he was a little man, wasn't he? Short guy. You'll remember him. from Mirri Antoinette, a short man. Lots of wars led them a lot and was often... Apparently five foot two.

That is small for a gentleman. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now, so Napoleon Donatim... Napoleon Bonaparte. It's referred, Tina. Napoleon Bonaparte is linked to Pickles because he was obviously on ships.

Yeah. Heading with his army off, you know, to war. And I'm assuming on a ship they would keep for a while because they're like in preserves, right? And they're seen as a great source of energy and health to help to prevent them from having scurvy. Like it's a good vegetable, it's got good health benefits. Salt, yeah.

Yeah, fermentation, it's all good. He knew this, but they were having trouble preserving them for these long journeys. And so he put out a call. He offered a prize of 12,000 French francs in 1795, which is the equivalent of... Like lot of Powerball now. Half a million New Zealand dollars.

Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, so that's a lot of money. Back in the day. To whoever could develop the best food preservation method for pickles so that his ship could have pickles. Wow. The inventor, a French chef and confectioner, Nicholas Apeer, won the challenge. He discovered that by removing air from sealed glass

and then boiling them, he could preserve the food. So he came up with the jar. You know how when we pickle things, the actual jar, and then you heat them and it sucks all the air out of them. therefore making them last and he basically is the father of canned food and this is how it came to be because Napoleon Bonaparte was like

I need me pickles And then did he just retire with his version of half a million dollars back in the day? Yeah probably I don't think he went on to do much more In today's money that would be insane That would be like a power ball win Yeah totally So not only did Napoleon get his pickles

But we had the birth of what we know is modern canning of food Which is putting it in a sealed thing sucking out the end there for all last forever. Good fact of the day theme. Yeah, it's really good. So I hope you enjoy Pickle Week when Vaughn takes over. So today's fact of the day is that in 1795,

Napoleon Bonapar offered a prize of the equivalent of half a million dollars for whoever could develop the best method of pickling. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley. We want to know this morning, when did you have adult fun times in the middle of something else perhaps a sports game perhaps a function

perhaps a wedding or a funeral or at work if you're seeing someone at work or at work the reason we ask this is because out of all places this has happened at a hospital during the middle of an operation in the UK there was a doctor he's an anathist

and they were in surgery there was a patient on an operating table under anaesthetic And the anathist said to one of the other doctors present, I need a, his words, comfort break. Okay. A comfort break. Wait, because the anesthetist is the one that puts you to sleep.

And monitors you the whole time. Right, okay. Because I was like, surely once they've put you to sleep, they just put their feet up for an hour or two or whatever. No, no, no. No. They're one of the most important people in the room. Oh, okay.

Because things change. They're like, oh, she needs a bit more. Pull her back a little bit. A bit more sleepy, sleepy. juice. Whoopty doopty doopty. Yeah. Or like, oh, she's away.

Hello. Shh, shh, shh. Yeah. So the consultant Anithetis had to step in. Oh, no, sorry, the anathis asked

one of the nurses there. Can you monitor the patient? I'm just, I just need a small break. Okay. Instead, this doctor... I'm guessing this happens for wheeze

because some operation's going to be like hours long. Got to take a wait. Yeah, we're doing eight-hour surgeries. Of course we haven't a WAZ. So instead, this doctor, Dr. Anjim, he went into

another operating theatre at the hospital where he proceeded to have sex with a nurse now referred to as nurse C. Wait, we're nurse A and B busy? Maybe he's a triple offender. Yeah, he was like, where's Nurse A? No, she's not here today.

Bugger. Nurse B? Okay, Nurse C. I'd still feel like your third choice, Dr. Anjay or whoever it was. What would you say his name was? Anjim, Dr. Anjim. Dr. Anjim. I'm the third choice, am I? Yeah. Call me nurse C, will you? You're my doctor, A.

So they went into another operating theatre and had sex where another nurse walked in on them and caught them in the act. Wow. And they're scrubs too? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And was quickly, like, holy moly. And like came back and was like, hang a minute. Dr. Angam's currently in a surgery. Like, what are they doing there? Wow. Okay.

And he did say no harm came to the patient when he was absent. And the surgery went on without any further notice. This is only pop back up. This was actually in 2023. It's popped back up now because he was fired, moved back to Pakistan, and has come back to the UK and is looking for a job. And they're like, dude, no. Dude, no.

Yeah. So look, you know, like I get it. You know, when it takes over. Are we screaming out for doctors? We'll get him a job here. Oh, my, mate, hi to my. Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it. Just don't do that again.

Anyway, we want to know right now, when did you have adult fun times? In the middle of something. and already messages are coming in and I'll read one of them okay let's get a ball let's get started my wife and I had adult fun times

My partner was heading away for two months for work. Right, you were just like, well, while we're here. Just get in there one last time. Okay. You didn't think of like pulling up your car somewhere on the way to the airport or... Or just like most people doing it at home before? At home, just before we get in the car. Well, you know, you've got to be there three hours before they fly out.

That's true. It's a long time, isn't it? You didn't just do a drop off. So it's really what you're saying is it's on the airport there. It's their fault we had to kind of forced into it.

Ex-police lady. Colleague driving and I talk a nap, wink-wink, in his lap. There's got to be a code for that. There's got to be a code for that. That's against the Lord. Living the best life back then. That's unreal. Oh my goodness.

My partner and I had adult fun times at the back of a bus With my family three seats ahead of us Oh, damn it Jeepers, I sat next to a couple on a long haul flight Clearly having some fun times under the blanket I did the cool thing and ignored them But secretly I was livid Because I was on my way to see my long-distance boyfriend

Oh, okay That's why you've got to make sure you block out that middle seat or something though You know Well, not all of us can just pay for a middle seat George next to us No, we were lucky on the way back We didn't have money for a sex seat Jesus.

Gosh, it must be nice. One for you, one for me. Isn't that just basically what they call the Air New Zealand Sky Couch? Yeah, yeah, the sexy. They wanted to call it that, but apparently you can't. It's like those, what's the ones in the cinemas? It's like that. Oh, the out of the lounges.

She forgot there's all sorts on there. Put a blue light on it, you'll see. My mum worked at a rugby club when I was 16. My boyfriend and I would help her stock take, etc. From time to time she gave us the keys once to go in when no one was there. So we did the dirty on the pool table. On the pool table. Auckland Zoo, the toilet by the birds.

Yuck. My fiancé and I were on our, yeah, stinky fingers. My fiancé and I were on our way home from Auckland down to the Manawatu and found the side road at Motzwe. Motiwapa? Motiwapa? I can't remember. It was a heavily bushed area just off the highway. There was a small power station thing when it did it against the wall. Cry shoot, gondola weak, winky face. Oh, really? That would actually be pretty serene.

That's quite fine. And then just stop when the other gondola goes past and wave like nothing's happening. And then back into a wave. You know when the gondolas stop, eh? And then you'd have to stop because of the carriage. Okay, here's my favourite one. Okay. Is this text of the week already on a Monday? Oh, far out, could be. Could be.
