From the ZDM podcast network.
This is Fleshorn and Haley's Big Pod.
Thanks to animates.
Making happy happen for pets.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.
Thank you, Bryn Rundkin.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch Fawn and Haley.
Happy Friday, Vaughn's away again today.
He is.
But you're son of the school holidays today.
And you're actually flying out, aren't you, too?
Yeah.
You're hosting this weekend hosting the Australia.
version of have you been paying attention?
I am. You won't be able to watch it.
I think they illegally upload it to YouTube at some point.
You can check it out there.
Oh yeah, the airport's going to be chaos.
Yeah, so it's always chaos.
I think about half a million passengers
flying overseas or arriving at Auckland Airport.
And they reckon 477 will be travelling with in New Zealand.
I have purposefully, actually,
packed a very simple carry-on luggage
because you know me I always get pulled over.
You do, yeah.
And I've got a checked-in bag this time
so I was like, I'm keeping that simple.
I've got to get through.
Where's my passport?
Did you hear that?
Where's my passport?
Really?
Oh.
Wow.
You're not flying to crush you this weekend.
You're going to Australia.
Oh.
So it looks like you're going home
before the airport, does it?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Do you not do that thing where you're like, okay, I'm going to go to the airport after work,
I'll check my passport before I go to work.
Yeah.
You don't do that.
Yeah.
No, I go.
No, yeah.
Okay, I'm just trying to think mentally.
Anyway, whatever.
Well, be careful.
Play Z-N's, Flashborn and Haley.
Well, if you needed more proof of the evolution of man and woo man.
Which, thank you.
So, that millions of years ago.
Like five or six, they reckon?
Years ago.
Yeah.
five or six years ago, we evolved from chimpanzees.
Far out, it feels like yesterday.
It was COVID.
It was a tough time.
So five or six million.
65 million years ago, the first monkeys.
Yep.
And then 30 million years ago, we became apes.
Yep.
And then six to seven years ago is where the human, the homo sapiens come in.
Homosapians.
You really hit the homo on that.
Well, if you needed any more of a direct link between chimpanzees
and humans and our very own Haley Sproul.
Yeah.
Some university researchers from the University of Berkeley, California,
have analysed the fact that wild chimpanzees consume the equivalent of two cocktails a day
in the form of boozy fruit.
Oh, like the kididoo.
Like, yeah, so they eat, and because they eat so much fruit.
It foments.
It foments.
And by their weight and the weight of the amount of fruit,
It's the equivalent of two human cocktails.
No, what cocktails?
Because we're talking a Nogroni.
That's a strong one.
If we're talking about you drink,
some sort of pink, you know, sweet thing.
Sometimes the bars,
I feel like the bars water it down sometimes.
Yeah, I think they do as well.
Sometimes they water it down.
Yeah, do you know, mate.
And remove the ice cube.
Show me how much liquid is in there.
Yeah, exactly.
Pull out that ice block.
So they're getting a bit drunky-wonky.
They're getting a bit boozy-woozy.
Oh, that's so cute.
I love seeing.
Why are the other animals that get really drunk?
is it Keduru I love
They get all sort of weird and funny
Do they get a bit tipsy on the berries?
On the berries
On the caraka berries
Which are they, is it only if they ferment
Or if they're a bit rotten
If they're like the rotten ones on the ground
What kind of animals get drunk
Because I'm sure there's footage of
A surprising number of animals can get drunk
Monkeys and apes
Yeah the monkeys and apes
Elephants get a little bit drunk
On the Marula fruit
Fruit bats get drunk
Multiple birds get drunk
Boars and pigs get drunk
Bees become disoriented sometimes
if they have too much fermented nectar.
Oh, okay.
So if there's a bee and it's like,
I'm sure I've seen the video of maybe a bear
or reports of bears getting tipsy on fermented apples.
You eat so much fruit.
It would be quite cool if you know.
Well, yeah, but I eat like ripe fruit.
Yeah, fresh.
Fresh fruit.
I don't eat like fruit that's been on the ground fermenting.
And sear so much of it that it's like fermenting your guts.
I'll drink a bit of like combative.
Quefair water
Like that can ferment
That's like low levels
Low low low low low low
But I know there's been some that
I remember they pulled a kombucha
From some stores because
It was a bit higher than
What was on the label
Yeah I remember that was like zero point something
Percent
Yeah
I beg you all today to
YouTube
Drunk animals
Well great yeah
Because it is a funny watch
Joyful
Play ZMs
Flash Vaughan and Haley
There is a study
this is out of the UK
so you know
take it with a grain of salt
we eat different things
they eat lots of beans
and eggs
and black pudding
and sausages
whereas we eat
nothing but hongy
I think we eat just as poorly
as they do
yeah
literally eat the exact same food
yeah
now now and I want
we say this with a grain of salt
because there's no right
or wrong amount of time
for gentlemen
to last in the bedroom
you know
it's how we have a lot of real place
You know, I have no opinion on this.
Really? You don't have any opinion at all?
I have some opinions.
So, factors like alcohol, stress, experience and health,
obviously all impact how long a gentleman can last in the bedroom.
Yes.
But they've worked out the average session length based on age.
Okay.
Okay.
I feel like all of these are going to be low.
We'll go from age.
No, I actually, it's not bad.
Okay.
I'm happy with this.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you don't want, you don't want like four hours.
Oh, my God, give it up.
Have a break.
Let's have a drink.
Let's have a cup of.
Snacks.
Yeah, you want a cup of tea.
I've got peppermint, whatever you want.
Maybe some electrolytes.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, like a half time of a rugby game.
Stretch, I might have a mid-shower.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, whew, far out.
Okay, 18 to 24 years old.
This is the first age bracket.
Five percent.
Five what?
Carry on.
Sorry, I've got the giggles
because we're talking about sexy things
and it makes me giggle.
Okay, 18, so get it together.
To professionalism.
18 to 24 years old.
5% 1 to 2 minutes.
13% 3 to 5 minutes.
5% over an hour.
Again, come on.
Making an average duration
of 16.14 minutes.
Okay.
So they break it down as to why.
High excitement and stamina, but quicker.
Yep.
Like, quicker to get there.
Pacing techniques like...
You just said to dance, right?
Just say pacing techniques.
Yeah, pacing techniques like, you know, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You know, the radio station we don't talk about.
Yeah.
And an increased...
I got that, Shannon didn't.
Increased use of condoms at a younger age.
It kind of...
All is impacting that time.
16.14 minutes.
The next age bracket, which I also don't fall into yet,
35 to 34.
Okay.
21% 11 to 15 minutes, 15% 21 to 30 minutes.
Making an average time of 18.29 minutes.
We're up.
Yeah, okay, great.
And now 25s to 34s.
Increased confidence, like we know what we're doing now.
Yeah.
And increased rhythm improves endurance.
Stress and time pressure does come in there,
because we're adults now.
Yep.
So that's that.
Things to do.
We've got things to do.
Busy, busy, busy.
Come on.
Okay, the next age bracket.
If I was a boy, this is where I'd be,
35 to 44 years old.
Slight drop.
Oh, okay.
There's a slight drop from the previous decade.
Hormonal shifts impacting this.
And early erectile issues may start to appear at this age.
Oh, okay.
Right, yep.
Because I guess as well, you're like busier, drinking more.
Maybe you've had kids, that kind of stuff.
Average time, 17.4 minutes.
Oh, okay.
Right, yeah.
That's good, yeah.
That's fine.
That's great.
That's fine.
Okay, the next age bracket.
Fletch, this is where you fall in.
Oh, just.
45 to 54 years.
We've got another drop significantly three-minute drop.
We're quite busy though, aren't we?
Yeah, 14.14 minutes.
That's your average time from woe to go.
Erections become less predictable around this age.
I don't know if you want to chime in on that.
They give some tips on how to improve that, but I can't say any of them.
We're dancing around this stuff.
Okay, the next age bracket.
This is something you have to look forward to in 10 years time.
55 to 64 years, 11.3 minutes is the average.
It's really coming down, isn't it?
That's taken another three minute hit there.
Do you think it's because you're just like, oh, I've done this a million times.
Especially if you're married and you're with the same person, like, ah, that's enough.
They're saying at this point health and medications can start playing a bigger role.
You know, you're probably on some more things that might focus now.
I've heard that medications can, yeah, interfere with that kind of stuff.
Yeah, experience is obviously very increased at this point
and focus on connection.
You're probably with the person, you're very comfortable
you're maybe having less one-night stands
or maybe a, who am I to say?
Yeah.
Okay, and the final age bracket they looked at
is 65 plus, so 65 to 120.
Yeah.
Now, I'll tell you what, we've taken an utter whack here.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Eight minutes.
Yeah, but life is short, you know.
Life is short.
And you can't risk a heart attack at that age.
We can't be having these long sessions.
Yeah.
Long sessions are rare.
so they're saying this is
long sessions are rare
where if we're still doing it at this age
which I hope we are
um yeah
it's gonna be a quickie
yeah great
how is my dancing
you're really good dancing around there
yeah thank you very much
you did really well
thank you
play
ZM's Fletch Fawn and Haley
Fletch Fawn and Haley
well a news story
an article a psychologist is warning
dating anybody with
Laboooooo
okay
I mean I didn't need to be told this
yeah
I mean we'll go to our Labubo owners
I'm gonna start out
I'm gonna come out firing right
Kabubu and Shibububu welcome to the show
Great new nicknames for our producers
Thank you, thank you okay
So out of the four of us
Which ones of us are single and which ones of us are taken?
Wow
I mean I have made a bold choice
And the ones that
And which ones have the boobos and which ones don't
I think Kabibu has a libubu and Shibububu has a libubu.
And you know what we also have?
Fliboobu has no flibu and hubibu has no libidu.
You came out swinging.
Yeah, wow.
I'm so jealous of your long-term relationship.
Thank you.
So you have sex with the same person every time.
I do.
And he cooks in for me every night.
Oh, my God.
That sounds so fun.
Yeah.
Do you think, though, if you were single, if a guy turned up and he had a couple of
her boo-boos on his bag, would you just be like,
ick? No, I'd be like, the man's got money.
I was just going to say rich.
Oh, really?
How much are they getting, like, 80 bucks or something?
No, no. No, but the
rare ones are selling for a lot of money.
But also, like, you've got to, you know,
be dedicated to line up.
That's a hot trait.
Oh, yeah, shows commitment to, you know,
like he's got a bit of sticking
power. And you know what they say about
men? All men are the same, but their
salaries are different. I don't think
anyone, I don't think many people say that.
I don't think. Listen, everyone
says it. So there's, I'm just on
Trade Me actually, because you know me, I'll never pay full price
for anything. Yeah.
Full set, Pop Mart Laboooooo
Big Into Energy
Plush Blind Box. Sealed.

For like
that six of them. Yeah.
Does anybody ever get, does anybody
ever buy a box and get one of those?
You know when you see a police
movie or a movie and there's
hostages and they drill a hole and they put that little
spy camera in with the
people do it on TikTok
and they look around
does anyone do that?
Yeah it's a whole sub-genre on TikTok
and what's trying to find out what's in the box
Yeah
They've got little microscopes and you can go under the packet
and see up through
Literally exactly what you're saying
I knew someone would do that
That's so naughty
There's so many on Trade Me
There's 24 pages of the Lububoos
Seriously
Shibubu Kibu you need to
Get on an
New nicknames I reckon
Yeah, no, they're working well.
Oh, I can't wait for Vibou.

Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley.
Fletch Borne and Haley, silly little pole, silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Today's silly little poll
It's all about movies
Yes
If you are considering watching a film
Do you, if you want to watch a film
Do you read or consider film reviews
Before you watch them?
This popped into my head the other day
Because I think I can't remember what it was
And I saw a film
That I loved and it was like terribly reviewed
And I realised that I just don't care
Like if you enjoy it
But if you're going to watch something new
I get that you want to have an opinion
You want to get some opinion
Is it Amazon that has the I am
I love that.
Because IMDB is good.
Like when you Google a film, it's always IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes,
and there'll be a Google user rating.
And I always find the Google user rating so fascinating
because it's always way out of whack with reviewers.
And actual reviewers.
And if all three of those are good,
I'm in.
I'm in.
Yeah, you're like, all these people can't be wrong.
Anything that's under a 60,
you've really got a question if you're going to commit to that movie.
Yeah, like that.
Paris Cowboy Muscle Movie
That's number one on Netflix at the moment
Horrendously reviewed
But that's not what we hear
It is called
Come to Paris or something like that
Paris
Paris
Hang out, I'm trying to open my Netflix
You can't because I kicked you off mine
The Wrong Paris
The Wrong Paris, okay
The wrong Paris it's called
Watch with a big grain of salt
Anyway so we asked today
Do you read or consider film reviews
Before you watch something new
64% on Rotten Tomatoes 6.1 out of 10 IMDB.
I wouldn't watch that.
Yeah, and that's just because of the muscles.
And then do you know the thing that seals it for me,
55% like the film Google users?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because normally if something's like 60, 70,
it'll be like 80, 90% Google users liked it.
Yeah, yeah.
You'd be like, okay, well, it's a, you know,
it's not for the critics.
Yeah, not for the critics, but it's just to enjoy.
Yeah.
Well, 54, it's quite split.
54% of you, respondees, said yes, they will consider reviews
before watching something new.
46% said that they don't.
Okay.
Feedback.
Haley.
Another Haley, great name.
It's so bloody expensive these days to see a freaking movie.
I'm not paying 20 bucks for a dud.
Sorry if that's super out of the millennial coded, but I would rather buy cheese.
So this is if you were going to the movies.
Yeah, that makes sense.
If you're going to go see a big film, you're like, is it worth my time and money?
Yeah.
I mean, if it's a film you've been waiting for,
like it's the next big
action film or something.
Yeah, maybe. Neve
says anyone writing
a review isn't worth listening to.
It rhymes because it's true.
What rhymes?
I don't get it.
Neve, I don't understand the joke.
Say it, Carwin.
Say it.
Carwin, say it.
We don't get it. It's gone over our heads.
What she just said?
Her message rhymed
Just read it
Anyone writing a review
Isn't worth listening to
Oh yeah
I just put the emphasis
There was no
There was
Loose rhyming
Yeah
Knive
No Neve I loved it
Neve
Keep going to say it
Neve no
Boo Neve
That was crap
Pop off Neve
Pop off Neve
I'm team Neve
And I'll done that
No
Okay Jordie says
I never do
Because I love
shitty movies
Like epic
Oh my God
Like epic movie
Like epic movie
Scary movie
that kind of stuff.
Only got 2% on Rotten Tomatoes and I don't care.
Meredith said, I'm an enjoyer, not a critic.
So she doesn't care.
Nathan says, no, everyone has different tastes
and most reviewers aren't qualified.
Interesting.
Coming for the critics.
Stacey says more recommendations from,
I prefer recommendations from friends, family or husband.
If you, like, you guys could recommend me something,
like you and Vaughn, and I'd be like, yeah, I'll like that.
We often do this.
Because we know what each other likes.
Yeah, you have to do this.
What was the one you told me?
Because the Irish people, Kin.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God, it's so great.
Just for all.
And they haven't made a new season
because everyone's got so,
the guy's in Daredevil.
And everyone's so busy.
Oh, that was such a great TV show.
They've created their own monster.
Ashley says I'm researching the whole plot
before I commit.
Oh, no, you don't know, no, no.
I want very little.
I didn't even like watching the trailer sometimes.
Yeah, because then you're like,
well, we see that.
Yeah, I see that they escape from the situation that.
I mean, they were always going to escape from whatever situation.
The film is called Escape from a Situation.
Do you know what I mean?
And you're like, what a giveaway.
Logan says, I need a sometimes option.
I follow a few reviewers on YouTube whose opinions I respect.
Typically, I go with my gut based on trailers,
but the reviewers often point me towards cool films I haven't heard of yet.
Okay, here's an example.
The Liam Neeson film taken 2008.
Yeah.
great action film. Great film. Great action film. Yeah, phenomenal.
7.7 out of 10 on IMD, 60% on Rotten Tomatoes,
letterboxed, 3.5 out of 5. I thought it was a great movie.
And Google uses 89% like the film.
Okay, well, that's all over the show. It's all over the show.
Now, Jesse said, and I am going to read out the message word for word,
and you'll have to excuse me. I think, she said,
my husband is so anal about this.
Okay, yep. He will read reviews for about 10 minutes for each movie
and then compare all the Rotten Tomato ratings
before selecting a film to watch.
Yeah.
That is a bit annual.
I mean, you've just got to,
sometimes you just got to watch it.
Yeah.
So for today's silly little poll,
we asked you do you read or consider film reviews
before you watch something new
and 54% of you said, yeah.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley.
From the Fletchvorn and Haley group chat,
this is the top six.
Yora.
What's up?
Today's top six with
Worn Away?
Yeah.
Snoop Dog has cancelled his New Zealand show
that he was going to come and do
after he had, let's just say issues.
The promoter.
Yeah, yeah.
Lost some name suppression, didn't he?
Didn't he?
And I think this was like kind of like
people brought it to Snoop's attention
was like, hey, don't do this show.
The guy's a dirt bag.
Yeah.
And so he cancelled it.
But it's sad though because then the fans are.
No, we don't get Snoop D-O-D-G.
Stop scratching your face
I've got a pimple
Yeah, I know, and you pushed it
And you made it all red
No, I want to squeeze it
Oh, I know, but now look
I've got one too, look
We could squeeze them together
Oh yeah
It's not quite ready
No, don't you say, it's not ready
It's not ready, I know
It's not ready, I know it's not
I know it's not really gutting for the fans
I mean Snoop Dogg is like
I just love him
I follow him on Instagram
He always goes live, he's so rogue
He's so funny
How old is he now?
Oh like, like six to you?
Like nearly?
Because you just say
He doesn't, like, he's 53.
Okay.
Like, he is keeping it tight.
Yeah, he is.
Marijuana, huh?
It was the anti-aging thing we needed the whole time.
So now that Snoop Dog is not coming to New Zealand,
I have the top six other dogs.
You can see now that Snoop Dog isn't.
Okay, great.
And I need you to put up my...
Oh, okay.
Because I've got a...
Got a little backtrack for us.
This is really showing my age here.
So the number six on the list of the other dogs
that you can now see in New Zealand
Now that snow is not coming
The Tuck's Wonder Dogs
For nostalgia
Where's the actual song kicking in
You've got it, it tells a whole story
I just want the...
Fletch don't rush the journey of the Tuck's Wonder Dogs
I just want the hook
Here it comes
And it's Tux
Keeps him full alive
If it as a bed all sharp as a knife
Tux keeps him full alive
They don't really have a lot of hit singles, so do they?
The Tux Wonder Dogs
No, but this one I reckon you can get away with looping like ten times
And people would still really enjoy it
Number five on the list of the top six other dogs
You can see now that Snoop Dog isn't coming to New Zealand
Spot the Dog, you just got to lift the little flaps
And that's where he is.
I used to love those.
I recently became the custodian of my
childhood spot dogs
spot books, sorry. And
they are a treasure. Yeah.
In the little flaps and he's behind the door and stuff.
I'm sure they still do them. He's probably all
like smooth and animated now. You know, like
that car they did with like... And he's less racist.
He is, oh my God, he had some
problematic things to say. He was saying some
problematic things. He was like, look under
that rock you. Yeah.
And so that to tone that down.
Oh, yeah, it was a lot.
Number four on the list of the top six other dogs
that you can see in New Zealand now that Snoop Dog's not
coming. Hercules morse as big as a horse and his
friend Bottomley Pots were covered in spots, but not Harry
McCleary though because he actually got a DUI.
Did he? Did he? Okay, right.
His name suppression's also been lifted. It was
Harry McCleary. Damn it. He was blind
growing and just like drove for a fence.
It was a lot. Anyway, I shouldn't be
saying that. I shouldn't be saying that. Don't quote
me. Yeah. Harry McCleary is cancelled.
Number three
on the list of the top six other
dogs that you can see
now that Snoop Dog isn't coming to
New Zealand. I reckon a little
bow wow should jump in and like he could bring
okay bring his mate big bow wow
was there a big bow wow I don't know I don't know I don't know
because I feel like if you're little bow wow it's like
if you were like Carl Jr. Well he's growing up now so he's big
bow wow so oh yeah little bow wow
should come into a tour announcing that he is now
officially big bow wow how old's little
bow wow because I'm sure we were like the same age
yeah he's probably definitely an adult no he's not cancelled
no
in the typical sense
of public condemnation
but he did retire
from music in 2016
to pursue other ventures
he's 38
yeah so he's big bow wow
and he doesn't look
what yeah
he just looks older now
yeah he looks like a man
yeah
which is crazy because he was a little
his name's Shad as well
which is so close to Chad
it annoys me
also his Wikipedia is just
bow wow so I think he's just
dropped the little
bow wow well yippio yippea
where Mard
Dogs app. Okay, number two on the list
of the top six other dogs, you can see now that Snoop Dog
isn't coming to New Zealand, my dogs. They're on
WikiFeed. You can go check it out. I tried to
bring up my Wiki feet. It's a
Celebrity Foot page. Yeah.
I tried to bring it up on the work Wi-Fi and it's
blocked me. Well, because it's a
problematic website, isn't it? I think I have a rating of 4.17
out of five. Pretty good. For my dogs.
Who's the number one rated Celebrity Foot?
It's an only fans creator.
Oh, okay.
Weird that you knew that. It's because you're not a number one.
It was too quick.
It was too quick.
It's because I check Wiki feet all the time to see how my rating's going.
Right.
Do you release more footpicks, just to feed picks just to get in there?
I release them to an anonymous source and being like, oh my God, someone keeps stealing my feet picks.
Oh my God, oh my God, I'm embarrassing.
And number one on the list, and as if I could leave this dog off.
Number one on the list of the top six other dogs, you can see now that Snoop Dog isn't coming to New Zealand.
Herman Zed German!
Our very own German, who sits proudly behind us every show.
And we walk in and we say good morning, Herman, and we tell him he's a good boy.
And the guests that come in, they love them, don't they?
They love them.
The ceramic German?
Yeah, that is today's top six.
Play ZDM's flesh won't and Haley.
We want to know now, what is the worst thing that a guest has done while staying at your house?
Or if you are an Airbnb host or you run like, I don't know.
Accommodation or sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or maybe you work in a hotel.
Yeah, yeah, or you own a motel.
And Haley's left some of her toys behind.
Wrapped up in the sheets.
Oh, mortifying.
Do you know what I think about when I stayed at QT when that happened?
Yeah.
And I'm like, I hope they don't know.
I mean, I've talked about it on the radio, and I know they listen.
Yeah.
But you know what I mean?
Like the cleaners, I hope that they just sort of swept up the sheets.
Yeah.
And it's sort of rattled around the industrial washing machine.
Yeah, and then we're like, where did this come from?
They don't know who owns it, what hotel.
Yeah, yeah.
How many times it's been used.
So the 2025 Airbnb host awards have been announced.
have been announced.
So this is New Zealand-specific,
Airbnb, and they have crowned their host of the year.
There's categories, best new hosts, like new Airbnb,
best family-friendly stay, best design stay, like, oh, la-la.
Best nature stay, best room stay, like you're just in a room in a house.
Okay, did the one best nature stay,
did they have a bathtub buried in the ground and some candles?
Oh my God, I did one of those in Hamilton with an outdoor.
It was so nice, but like quite funny.
Yeah.
Being in a bath outside.
Yeah.
And it was a black, the best nature stay is the black yurt in Oauakura.
Oh, okay, so just out of New Plymouth.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Black yurt, I can kind of imagine it, right?
Yeah, you're right by the beach.
That'll be beautiful.
So host of the year goes to an Airbnb in Hawks Bay, Seafield View, Hawks Bay, North Island.
And this is owned by a woman called Joe DeMancer.
Right.
And she has won the host of the year.
And her tip for all of this is that she likes to make things.
feel special and like, you know, personalised.
Yeah, because do you find when you stay at an Airbnb,
sometimes they're trying too hard?
Oh, yeah.
Because they want, they know that they want that rating
because they live and die by, you know,
the five-star rating.
Totally.
So sometimes I feel, yeah, but sometimes they don't leave you alone.
Like, sex of, you know, in some lawn games.
Yeah, like, I had a guy once, every day was messaging me.
I was there for three days.
I was like, what are you up to today?
You could do this.
And it's like, don't worry about it.
Unless I'm in a, like, foreign country and I know nothing about it.
I appreciate host recommendations.
But if I'm in New Zealand, I'm all good, bro.
Sometimes they'll bribe you.
Have you ever met had a bottle of wine or, like, you get free water bottles and, like,
you get little chocolates left out?
I like it.
You like it.
I like it.
So, yeah, she's given all of this advice, but I want to know, yeah, what is the
worst thing a guest has done?
Because you, if you were an EB&B host, it would be, you'd see some.
things, eh?
Totally.
Like, if you're going in and doing the cleaning,
you're going to see some things
and you're going to be,
that place is left in an absolute mess.
Yeah.
I have a good Airbnb rating.
Same.
Better than my Uber one.
Do you know what I mean?
I am very conscientious.
Like, I stayed in Airbnb and I made the bed.
My friend was like, why are you making the bed?
Why are you making the bed?
Because there's a small space.
I just don't want to leave it feeling like a tip.
If we sit in a hotel for work or an Airbnb or whatever,
I always, I'll put all the rubbish in the bin or whatever.
Yeah, so I pull up the covers at least.
so it just doesn't look like a tornado hit.
But we're not only asking for hosts of like accommodation,
but we will, you know, hotel owners or work at a hotel or motel or Airbnb,
but also if you just had a guest staying at your house,
maybe some friends or family.
I'm trying to find my Airbnb rating to see if it's higher than yours.
Okay, well, let's open Airbnb quickly.
Well, it just says I've got, I've had 33 trips and 25 reviews.
Profile.
I haven't had that many trips.
No, well, fine.
We'll find it during the song and compare.
Yeah, we'll see.
But, yeah, if you want to call now, 0800-Darlem, 9-6,000, how bad did a guest leave something?
Whether they were staying at your house, whether you clean motels or hotels.
Like, what is the worst thing?
Or, like, even if you had a one-night stand and then they, you know, absolutely destroyed your bathroom and then left.
How bad somebody left your place?
Whether you own an Airbnb or you work in a hotel or you've just had guests staying at your house.
It could be friends' family, a partner.
wouldn't friends leave your place a mess?
I would literally never.
When you stay at my house,
the only thing you do is hang the bath mat wrong
and that's it.
Do what?
What?
Oh my God.
There's a way to hang the bath mat and Haley doesn't hang it right.
I mean, it's okay.
How do you do it?
It's fine.
I mean, and you don't shower down the soap
in the shower.
Yeah, I know.
And you have brought that up.
I have brought that up.
But aside from that, you don't leave like a poo in the bed or anything.
Or, you know, like you don't leave a hole in the walls.
Not once have I put a hole in the wall or a poo in your bed.
Which is fair, and I appreciate it, and that's why you can always stay.
Yes, yes.
So we want you to call, oh, 800 dials at him, 9696.
How bad did a guest or a host leave your place?
Liz, you host an Airbnb.
Yes, I do.
How long have you done this for?
Oh, I don't know.
How many years, actually?
Right.
But a while.
Oh, wow.
Do you have a good, what's your star rating out of five, Liz?
I'm a super host
Wow
Guys we are in the presence of a super host
Oh my God
Where is your Airbnb Liz?
It's Queenstown
Oh
Liz
We simply must come and say
We simply must Liz
Now Liz
What is the worst thing
A guest has done
In your Airbnb
I think
I think the worst one was
One day I
Started to rain
And she had all the kids
clothes on the clothes line
So I go down
quickly grab all the clothes and fold them
don't put them inside the apartment
put them under shelter
and then the next day
they went to leave and they wouldn't leave
and I went down and said
I've got a fast change over you've got to go
I go in and look I've got to start stripping the beds
and they had pushed the king size bed
into the corner shift the bedside table
smashed the lamp
they ate cherries in the bed
the cherry stones were out
the window in the window still.
Cherries, they stain.
The white sheets were stained red
from the cherries and the kid
hadn't flicked in the bed and obviously flipped with
them. Yeah. Unbelievable.
So I started yelling.
And I feel like you don't
want to mess with Liz. No.
Yeah. I was not a super host
that day. Right, okay. But they hadn't
left it in a super host way. And had
they done anything else?
Well, the place was filthy.
Right. I run Airbnb and
their battle was to not pay
for all the damages, was that
I invaded their space by
getting their washing in.
Getting their washing in. That's just what a super
host would do when it rains. That's what lovely Liz does
when it's raining. Oh, Liz.
There's been loads, like you haven't got time to hear
them all. How much out of poop do you have to
deal with? A fair bit.
It's a certain
country that like to stand on the seat and just spray shit.
Oh, okay. You need one of those signs
Liz.
You need a sign.
Oh my God.
Okay, Liz, thank you.
Good luck with your future guests.
Good luck.
Good luck with that, our five star.
Wow.
Some messages in.
We had a guest stay at our five star hotel in Queensland.
They made a sex video in the room and upload it to Instagram and tagged us in it.
What?
What?
Wait, wait, wait.
They made a video and tagged you in it, like the accommodation?
Yeah.
I mean, I guess maybe it's good for business.
Yeah.
That is wide.
I was reading.
Like, hey at Hilton Queenstown.
There was an article.
I read an article this week about an influencer that went to that famous mirror
Airbnb in the, is it Joshua Park?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And apparently they have a clause in the Airbnb that you're not allowed to film there.
Film, yeah, yeah.
And they got caught taking selfies and got charged like a couple of thousand dollars.
Oh.
They've got a fee if you use it for like photo shoots, like anything like this.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think it's mostly to stop like that kind of thing.
Adult content.
Only fans filming there.
Yeah, but if you're going to make some adult content,
a mirrored room.
I mean, it's perfect.
I worked at a Hilton years ago
and quite a few guests used to shit in the rubbish bins.
There's a toilet right there.
There's a toilet right there.
This is brilliant.
This is popping off.
We have an exchange student.
He seemed fine and stuff.
But when he left, we were cleaning his room
and there were millions of contact lenses
that had just been flipped around everywhere.
Oh, my God.
My parents, Airbnb, a holiday home
and the place was left like someone left in a rush once.
Dirty nappies all over the house
and the table was just covered with tomato sauce.
I mean, that's giving toddler, isn't it?
Yeah.
My mother had an Airbnb in South Africa
and one guest had too much to drink at the bar in the house
and he went the bed and never told us
and just booked out and left it like that.
At least pop it out in the sun until checkout, you know?
I know.
Fold up the sheets and be like, I'll leave a note saying I'm so sorry.
Oh, sorry, I spelt my gatorade.
Yeah, yeah. I would go down to the shops.
Buy a power ride.
Yes.
Blue.
Yep.
get it and pour all over the bed and be like, I'm so sorry.
Wait, but you'd make it worse.
You'd add power aid to the piss.
I'd rather say that it was power aid than piss.
Yeah, fair cool.
My mum and I cleaned an earbambe.
Yeah.
And one couple left jizz everywhere.
No attempt to clean it up.
Poor mum is still scarred.
One time I found a sexy bra in the sheets that very much didn't belong to a businessman's wife.
Oh, okay.
Loving this.
This is the scandal.
Yeah.
There would be so many stories like this.
They're pouring in.
I worked in a boutique hotel.
You just tell me when to stop.
In Queenstown, it was gay ski week.
Oh, no, the gay, yeah, the gays, no.
Yeah, look.
It was a gay ski week and a couple staying in the hotel left the room.
In such, her words, a traumatizing state.
There were corn nuts and bodily fluids and all sorts of matter everywhere over the sheets and duvet.
And to this day, I tell myself it was toothpaste on the shower screens.
Oh, jeez.
Oh my God, we Airbnb are our own house when we stay away.
A guest house secret.
A guest had a house a secret wedding at my house.
And I noticed there was lots of champagne bottles in the recycling.
They did break, and they did break a few things.
But she made the mistake of using the same wedding photographer as me.
And I saw all of her photos on Instagram.
It was like, that's my home.
Oh, my God.
Taking selfies in the pool, right?
That would be quite a good compliment for your home, though.
It's a wedding venue.
We, Airbnb are guest room in our house
And they decided to wash their clothes in our bath
And then run the little bathroom wall heater all night
To try to dry them
Until it was overheating and flickering on and off
That they were going to burn the house down
I
Oh no, that's from a guest
Now we're not going to, we're not asking you
How bad was the Airbnb?
You'll have to call next week when we do
How bad was the accommodation
Okay, this is a last.
last one. We have friends who own a cleaning company in Central Otago are shocking the amount
of cleaners that come back saying they've had to clean up meth in Airbnb's.
What? Keep your meth at home. Don't take it to lovely litters. And use the toilet and use
the washing machine and use the dryer. And don't piss the bed. Oh, my parents found a bag of
weed in the bedside cabinet of their Airbnb. We help them dispose of it, of course.
Fletchbourne and Haley
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley
Well it is of course the Women's Rugby
World Cup at the moment and our gals
The Black Ferns face Canada in the
semifinals. Tomorrow morning
Bright and early
Bright and early tomorrow morning. 6am.
6am kickoff. We've got Taylor Curtis
from Sky Sports on the phone
and you're currently in Bristol, Taylor.
Yeah, yeah, got
to Bristol early Sunday. Thanks for
having me guys. Thank you for joining us.
No, no worries.
Yeah, I've been in England the entire time with the Black Sun team from York to Exeter to Bryson, back to Exeter.
Now we're in Bristol, and I can tell you, it's very colourful.
Is it?
Are you banishing to get a bit of a holiday in on the work trip, you know, if you're bouncing around the UK?
Yeah, you've got to make sure the all pints taste the same, you know?
Do you guys do a good per diem every day?
Do you get a little bit of pocket money?
A bit of pocket money on the road?
They have done very well to match
I mean the dollar to the UK is crazy
So you get your little padam
And then double it yes
Oh I love this
Taylor's good this is good
We love a work trip with a padam
We love a work trip with a padam
Now how are we looking ahead of tomorrow morning
Because
Do Canada even know what rugby is
We were amazed they were even in the World Cup Taylor
We don't want to get coffee but we feel confident
Yeah yeah
No I love the spirit
I love the beliefs as well
And I think we should hold on to that
Canada are ranked second in the world at the moment.
When did that happen, Taylor?
Yeah, it happened overnight.
Oh, bizarre.
The last time we met them, we drew, and before then they'd be asked.
But prior, we had beaten them about 16, 17 times.
So they've just come up through the ranks being involved in Pack 4 and WXV and all that kind of stuff as well.
But they've just got a great rugby program with seven players and 15 players.
Good for the game.
Good for the game, though.
Yeah, I know.
We want to win this rugby world cup
Fair and square
You know we want to fight for it
Yeah
You know we don't want to just sort of cruise there
No no
No because the victory doesn't taste as sweet
But no the black turns look really good though
Like I'm really stoked to see
We've got Sylvia Brunt back in the midfield
Because I think she can do some damage against these Canadians
Yeah I was just having a look at the line up
So I know not a single one on the Canada team
We literally just figured out that they're quite good
Yeah yeah
If you're going to look at any player from Canada
out, I would focus on number 12, their second five.
Number 12, Alexandra, Tessia.
Alexandra, Tissia, she's unbelievable.
She can play 10, 12, 13, but she's like the little maestro.
Right, so you can take her out.
If we want any kind of Canadian to have an ankle injury, it's her.
Yeah, number 12.
Yes, and they're number four.
Okay, number four and 12, I'll do a little thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Some kind of voodoo thing, I do it.
I do a voodoo thing, yeah.
Yeah, we can do that.
I don't want to talk about it too much, but I do a bit of voodoo.
So if they win this game, which they will, I have all the confidence in the world,
then we're going to the final, and who will play?
Who will we play?
It'll be most likely England, just because they've had France's number, honestly, as well.
So they play each other quite a lot in the Six Nations,
and the last time they played each other, France, we're up for it,
but there's news they've lost three of their key players, one of their co-captains,
so they're going in a little bit underdone, so England will be firing for that.
Right, and are England the current world number one team?
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
What are we third?
Yeah, unbelievable here.
Isn't this, when did this all happen?
They're in love with them.
Yeah.
God, absolutely not.
Are you in Bristol seeing a lot of Kiwis walking around with their, you know, their black shirts on?
Yeah, closer to game day, you see it.
You see them starting to crawl out.
Crawl out.
But because England's so big, I mean, a lot of the families, a lot of the friends,
and families and stuff are touring around.
I mean, they're going to Wales for the day.
They're going to, I mean, some people have
gone to France, Switzerland, and then they come closer
to game day. Oh, wow. Okay.
Yeah, I mean, you're at this side
of the world. Why not, right?
They must have a good paedium. They must have
a bloody lovely padium.
Well, a kickoff tomorrow morning
6 o'clock, is that correct?
Yes, covered from at Sky's
5 a.m. So we've got heaps of cool stories
with shot throughout the week there as well.
Oh, 5 a.m. on a Saturday. Taylor.
No, you stay up.
Hey, there she is.
Or you can just watch it from, if you're streaming on your TV, you just watch it from the start.
But then you've got to hope that no one messages you or getting any news.
No, no, no, no.
I did that last time.
And then you're like, everyone put their phones down.
Well, give our love, personal love and blessings to the whole team when you do see them.
Say, Fletch for it and Hayley.
No, I will. I wish you were the best.
Lovely.
Yeah, beautiful.
Fantastic.
Yeah, thank you so much, Taylor.
Enjoy the weekend and enjoy the game.
Thanks guys. I go back with the voodoo session.
Yeah, thank you. The pins are out.
12 and what, which one was it?
Number 12. Number 12. Number 12.
Number 12, we're going to get her.
12 and 4, yeah. Okay, Amy, I'll put that in my voodoo list.
Taylor, thank you so much.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Look, we've been actually talking there's some exciting films coming out.
Like, I've been watching because it's like festival season.
Do you know why as well, I think?
There was the big writer's strike.
Yeah.
And there was just a hold on everything.
And now we're just getting everything.
What's that?
I saw the trailer for that Emis
Stone and Jesse Plimman's film
where he like takes her hostage and shaves your head
and stuff. That looks incredible. We were talking about the Leonardo DiCaprio film.
That's getting rave reviews. Yeah, yeah. So all these trailers are coming out.
These beautiful festival films, Cannes, Sundance, you know, the France film festival.
Oh my God, art, art, art, art. But no, yesterday we were hit with the most exciting one yet.
And I would say the most art ones. You know, this is art.
I think this is art.
Is it?
Camp rock!
Camp rock!
Exactly.
Camp rock!
Will you remember Emma Stone
and baldhead in a few years?
No, but you still remember that dance.
I think the Oscars will.
I don't know that Camp Rock 3
is going to make it to the Oscars.
I'm so excited for this.
Camp Rock.
It's so good to be back.
So Camp Rock 3
officially announced with, of course, the Jonas Brothers.
Yes, all three of them are back.
It's so nice because they did obviously break up
and they've been really open about how hard it was for them.
But to see the three of them just, like, thriving at the moment is so fun.
Camp Rock 3 began filming this week in Vancouver.
So we've got a bit of a weight on our hands here.
And then the big question on everyone's lips.
Demi Lovato.
I know.
So they've posted a little bit of behind-the-scenes stuff
to like tease this announce but
and they've posted a cast photo
which has a lot of like newbies
who I don't know so they're obviously going to be
the campers
Demi's not in the photos
but she is tagged
in the Disney Channel
accounts post
so we think she is going to be it
she also came out on stage with the Jonas
brothers at their tour like a week or
two ago
surely she wouldn't have done that
she's in it but not much
do you reckon?
Carman's written the script back here
In the script, I reckon that I can't remember if this is how it ended Camp Rock 2
that they like kind of take ownership of the camp, the band.
But if they have, it could be that they're going to do the camp.
And then, oh no, last minute, one of their tutors has like pulled out,
we'd better call up her old mate, Demi.
Yeah.
Now, hear me out.
Here's an idea for a plot, a little scene of Camp Rock 3.
This is a real, like, writer's table here.
The Jonas brothers are at a picnic table.
Mm-hmm.
And a beer comes out of the woods and eats one of them.
it's a horror movie oh my god which one
it's all like hey can rock
and then a beer comes out
Kevin no I reckon Joe
Joe no don't you touch my Shane grey
Oh my God you just
You struck a Nick Jonas needs to be saved
No no no we need to be saved
It's got to be Kevin bonus Jonas
Oh bonus Jonas
Oh bonus Jonas Jonas
He gets eaten by a beer
And the other Jonas brothers are sad
Oh and then they open up the beer
To like check the body and Demi Lovato's inside
And she's like
Oh my God I've been in here
For years.
Play Z-M's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Why do you sound so chipper this morning?
Because I had eight and a bit hours sleep last night.
And the night before?
Yeah, the same.
By the way, this is a man who wakes up at 4 a.m.
And it's still managing to get...
Well, 4.30.
4.30.
Still managing to get eight hours sleep.
So you wear your watch when you sleep
and it tells you the quality of your sleep
and you've just received your overall score.
The new iOS update, iOS.
26 for iPhones.
Yeah, I mean, you'd always get the sleep graph.
But now it gives you a score based on how long
you're asleep when you went to bed if you'd like wind down.
And yours is.
How many interruptions?
So last night at 98.
And I was asleep for eight and eight hours, eight minutes.
If I wore my watch, I reckon I would have got six.
Yeah.
Six out of a hundred.
It's confronting.
It is confronting.
And sleep is very important.
What's the basis of health?
When we, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, what was his name?
See, you're forgetting things because you're tired.
Which one are you?
Thank God Vaughn's not here because I won't be able to tell.
It's only you, Fletch.
Yeah.
What was that incredible guy who we talked to?
Johann Harri.
Johan Harri.
Yeah, he's written loads of books about this stuff.
Loads of books.
And I'm currently reading his Focus book.
Stolen Focus.
It's in my, I've just remembered it.
It's in my side table.
Yeah.
I just remember it.
I've got to keep reading that.
But he...
Wait, so you've lost.
focus reading the book
about losing focus. I'm aware. Interesting.
I'm very aware. It's quite ironic that, isn't it?
So, remember he was
telling us about the
brain at night and how it
like purges and it like
cleans itself and how you need sleep?
Anyway, we're talking about sleep because
not only do you want this for your overall health
we know these things. It is at the
centre of all well-being really, getting a good
night's sleep, restorative sleep.
Also, it's making me
ugly.
and just this study has found that just one bad night's sleep
you will be able to see a physical difference
and I totally feel that
every now and then Vaughan and I will arrive at the same time
and we get into the lift and the first thing we do is go
and we look in the mirror
because you know me and Vaughn both have terrible sleep
health I guess habits
will look in the mirror and be like holy crap
you know you just look terrible
but it's not just that feeling of tiredness
and that is telling you you're not looking good.
It is true.
You have not, restorative sleep, which is the good sleep,
fuels collagen production.
That's the thing that's going to stop my face from Sagan off.
Yeah.
Or a surgery in Turkey.
It lowers your stress hormones,
which helps repair your skin at night.
You lose, your skin becomes dehydrated when you don't sleep,
weakens its barrier,
accelerates visible signs of aging.
Even just a couple of nights of poor sleep is going to impact away.
Yeah.
sucks because if you're stressed about a special
like say your wedding day or a big day
and you're anxious
or you're going somewhere you're meeting someone
like you're not going to sleep well
and then you're going to look worse
so it only makes the whole thing worse
yeah I know
ahead of the days that you want to be looking your best
you'll be like stressed the night before you won't be sleeping
so this is really I was going to say
this has really inspired me ahead of my weekend
but you probably won't get a lot of sleep
I'm off to Melbourne I've already got plans
Yeah, you're working as well.
I'm working over the weekend.
I, you know, I will address all my health and sleep in 20, 26 and a facelift in Turkey.
Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Now right now, I want to know if you have an unconventional bestie.
Like you don't, it's not maybe like you've got a big age difference or you're like completely,
polar opposites.
Generational difference.
Generational difference or, I don't know.
It's a bit complicated.
Maybe your bestie is an X, you know,
and then you split up and then became best friends.
Yeah.
I was just reading a really interesting article about this woman
who was saying her experience of her two best friends.
You've got to pick one.
Do you know what I mean?
It's best.
Yeah.
It's best.
She knows.
She just doesn't want friction.
She, no.
Friction.
So she, a heterosexual female, her two best friends,
two heterosexual males and then people always question they're like oh my god how does that work
people always assume that there's something romantic going on they do don't they yeah how frustrating
that must be to have a platonic male bestie people just can't wrap their heads around it can they
really can't though they must be sleeping together but she was like we we teach each other things
we learn lots of things from each other we they actually have more in common than i guess people
would expect yeah and she just gets questioned it all the time
And it just made me think, like, you know, my best friend, we're quite, we're not similar in
personalities, but we make a lot of sense, we listen to the same music, we're both the exact
same age, you know, like we make perfect sense.
But I want to know if you have an unconventional bestie.
Who is your unconventional bestie?
You know, not just your typical, we met at school and, you know, we grew up, same age,
same kind of hobbies, or same music or whatever.
Yeah.
Unconventional besties.
I just read an article about a girl who's two besties are platonic males, and a lot of people
have a hard time understanding it.
Yeah.
And understand that there's no romantic connection.
Some actually really lovely touching messages in.
My best friend is my husband's ex-girlfriend.
Oh, okay.
That's cute.
My bestie is 28, single, no kids.
I'm 39 married with three kids.
We just love each other to pieces.
We just vibe.
Oh, that's nice.
My unconventional bestie lives in Czech Republic.
Once every year or so we catch up in a different part of the world
and it's like we've never been a part.
That's the sign of a true friendship.
I like those friends you can see after a year or two,
maybe because they live overseas.
And it's not awkward, it's just like...
Totally.
Whereas I feel like, you know, once radio kind of, you know,
we leave radio, we'll probably never see each other again.
And if we did, I imagine it would be incredibly awkward.
So how are the things?
How is it all going?
Yeah, how is it all going?
You're Haley, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What was the station we worked on?
No, you're not getting rid of me that easily.
You owe me money.
So you're not getting rid of me.
No, no way.
I owe you way too much money.
My unconventional bestie is a drug dealer, just weed, they want to say.
Oh, right, okay.
And I am a mortgage broker.
Just a class C.
I love it, they're like, hey, just we.
You don't know a class?
No, he's not doing the serious stuff.
one of my closest friends is the fiancée oh okay hang on paint a map wait um because i have to do
one of those like kind of organizational charts in my head strings red strings yeah yeah yeah yeah
one of my best friends is the fiancee of my oldest daughter's dad okay so my best friend would be
your baby daddy's girlfriend right yeah yeah okay that makes sense um she's amazing and our other children
all play together we go shopping together we have a nice time my bestie is an ex from 11 years ago
We reconnected maybe nine years ago
He's married, I'm engaged
But we get on like a house on fire
Could not live without him
Wow, how do you think the other couples
The other partners find that?
Yeah, yeah, I don't know
My best friends are male, I'm female
We've been besties for 20 years
We've had multiple times over the years
We've both been single
And nothing has ever happened
But people constantly ask
My husband even made a comment
Only recently, we've been together for eight years
And I had to reassure him
That it never has and it never would
It's like shagging your sister
You know what I'm like?
Jagging your brother.
My unconventional bestie is 20 years older than me.
We work together and she and I somehow just connect and care about each other and it's
awesome, but there are definite differences like the stuff I was doing in my 20s.
She definitely wasn't in her 20s.
By the way, I'm 46.
Have a great day, Lucy.
Oh, thank you, Lucy.
I will. This one is so beautiful.
I'm 25 and he's 88.
We are great friends.
I've known him throughout nearly half my life.
We go shooting together.
We just head out and have lunch together monthly.
That's nice.
My ex and I were in a
I love that straight is in quotations
My ex and I were in a straight relationship
We broke up about four months ago
I've since transitioned and now we're best bros
Oh, that's awesome
I love that
That's probably why you were drawn to each other
In the first place, right?
And then you just thought, oh yeah, maybe this is what it is
And there's a lot of people that are friends with exes
It's just better off his friends
Yeah totally
We know we like each other so much
We just shouldn't be together
My bestie is my unofficial twin
His mum delivered me
And my real twin
And then one year later on the same day
Had her son
Once we met we just hit it off
And had the same sense of humour
I met my best friend on a bushwalk
She asked if I was a model
And we've been a separable
Ever since we're like sisters
I mean I would love anyone
Who's talking to be like I'm sorry excuse me
Are you a model
Do I look
Like a model
That's my
Touching
Yeah
These are really beautiful stories

Fact of the day, day, day
day, day, day
I do-dood do do do do do to do do do to 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.
Today is the finale of Pickle week and actually with Vaughn being sick I've sort of enjoyed taking over this week that we chose actually Fletch on Monday with our
listeners. We did. Pickle Week.
Vaughn has left us the
facts. I'm just the deliverer.
Friday's fact of the day
for Pickle Week is that pickles
have to bounce. What do you mean
they have to bounce? I've got a pickle. Oh no,
it's not a full pickle though. It's a sliced.
I've sliced, the bread and butter pickles.
So a whole pickle? A whole pickle. In
1948, two men in Connecticut
were arrested for selling pickles
unfit for human consumption.
State food inspectors found the pickles were
substandard. They looked fine but they were mushy and not preserved properly. To test them,
inspectors decided to drop the pickles from one foot high. A good pickle would bounce thanks
to its firm skin and brined texture. These didn't, they just splattered on the ground. The court used
that as proof of their poor quality and find the men $500 each, back in 1948. That's a bit of
money. Yeah. And destroyed the batch. And this created this legacy of bouncing pickles.
of bouncing pickles to test whether or not they have been preserved properly.
Wouldn't you just give it a squeeze?
They are squeezy.
The moment you hear that they're bouncy, you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Makes sense, yeah, because they're a bit like, boing, wing.
Yeah.
The pickle bounce test was never properly written into law,
but the case made headlines at the time,
and since then it's been repeated in food history books and trivia
for years and years and years.
Okay, so this could pop up at a pump quiz, one of those quiz nights.
Yeah.
Okay.
Connecticut officially, later,
legislated that a pickle must
bounce to be a pickle.
Wow, okay.
Now, imagine if a food inspector came around
to like a burger joint was like,
I'm here to test these pickles.
Open up this jar.
Open up this jar or these here are pickles.
We've got to put it through the pickle bounce test.
Boing, bling, boing, these are good pickles.
You're good to go.
What do you wash it off and just put it back in the jar?
You never waste a pickle.
Never waste a pickle.
I'm a food inspector is the one who dropped the pickle for the pickle
for the pickle bounce test.
I drop it on a clean piece of paper or something and then ate it.
And then I'd eat it and they'll be like, that's my pickle tax.
Yeah.
I'm taking this pickle with me.
So for today's final fact of pickle week in 1948,
two men in Connecticut were arrested for selling bad pickles
and that created the pickle bounce test.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Play ZM's Fleshworn and Haley
We've been told producer Karwin that you have a surprise for us and we're going to be excited
I do.
So I'm actually already really enjoying my day.
So I don't I don't see how it could get better.
It could go downhill, who knows.
I mean, hopefully not.
I'm flying internationally.
I mean, the worst way would be if it crashed.
You did only a few hours ago say,
God, where is my passport?
Oh, by the way, everyone who has been listening to 6 a.m.,
I am flying internationally today, I have it.
Apparently, she leaves in the glove box.
It's not on your hand, though.
I'm not here to be judged.
I'm here to be accepted for who I am.
How does anyone leave a passport in a glove box?
Well, don't do that anymore,
because now people know that if they break into your car,
they can get your passport.
Just saying.
And they know that I'm a Mazda.
So now we're looking through the glove boxes of Mazda's being like,
where's that passport?
And it's a good passport too.
Okay, it's out of the glove box.
Okay.
So as I do every day, I was going through my emails last night.
And I was alerted to the fact that it's an anniversary today.
Either of you know what that anniversary would be for.
Well, we had September 11 recently.
Dark.
I was like, this is not the break.
Dark, dark.
Yeah, we've done that one.
19th of September.
It has to do with Shannon and I.
Shannon, you started at the beginning of a year.
No, it's not that.
Shannon, do you want to go into the studio maybe?
Are they in love?
Are they in love?
Oh my God, are they in love?
I knew they were gay.
I knew they were gay.
My boyfriend's, my boyfriend.
Oh my God, there's it a cake?
Why is there a cake?
What is this the anniversary of?
There's a cake coming in.
Oh my God, is this the anniversary.
Is this?
I reckon I've worked it out.
Oh, oh my God!
Okay, what we are seeing here is, oh my God.
Had they sent this?
They have sent this.
So this is the anniversary of us,
and I say us, including all of our listeners,
naming the Hawks Bay Fire Truck Dame Judy Drench.
One year today.
It sure is.
Oh, that was fun, wasn't it?
And they've sent a cake.
They've sent a cake with a photo of the whole team
and now we support Dame Judy Drench T-shirts
in front of the truck itself.
What a beautiful date.
They've written us a little card.
Dear Fletch Forne and Haley.
That's us.
This time last year,
you legends got the whole country fired up
to help name me.
Oh, it's from the truck itself.
It's from the truck.
And thanks to you, Judy Drench was born.
Since then, I've been living life on the runway
and absolutely soaking up the attention.
To say thanks, I'm sending cake to celebrate my turning of age.
Tomorrow, I'll be celebrating.
in style as I roll out in the Hastings Blossom Parade.
Oh, that would be fun.
Beautiful.
It's very fun.
I just came back from Hastings loved it.
For my big birthday debut, thanks again for helping me make a splash from day one.
Good person now.
Hose hugs and Siren Love, Judy Drenched, Queen of Cool and Proud Hawks Bay icon.
Oh, that's fantastic.
This cake is epic.
It's red and yellow.
Like a fine, yes.
I will say I'm sad for him's not here because it is his favourite flavour.
What flavour is it?
It's carrot cake.
Carrot's my favourite.
It's borns us up.
Oh, perfect.
Remember when I in the group chat was like, hey, choose a flavor of a cake and don't ask me why.
I wondered why that was weird.
I thought that was weird you asked us and then we didn't get a cake.
I think people are going to want to.
Oh, ready?
Three, two, one.
Happy birthday to you.
Way, wow, wow.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Judy dreams.
Just a fire truck.
Happy birthday to you.
I'm going to cut a slice and just sample on.
ear because I think when we talk about carrot cake
people need to know what it tastes like. I'll
cut through my face. Do you guys
scream when you hit the bottom? That's what I always did.
No, you have to yell at who your boyfriend is.
Who's your boyfriend?
Who's your boyfriend?
Was that a thing? I never knew that was
a thing. It was with girls when you
cut cake and you hit the bottom. You have to say you're crush.
No, I thought it was when you were twisting an apple
thing off and you go A, B, C, D.
Okay, I've really bullshit.
Okay, we don't have a lot of time here
just to watch you painfully
cut a cake. Have you ever cut
a cake before? Oh my gosh. Have you ever cut a
cake before? This is a massacre.
She's just my first day on her.
This is my first day on her. Hang on let me try.
I can smell the sparses of the carrot.
I've dropped them on the floor before.
Absolutely exquisite.
Yeah, okay, great. Thank you so much, Halks be your poor.
Yeah, and happy one year anniversary
to Dame Judy Drench.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.
Well, I hooked you in with a
tease here, Georgia, and you have remained.
Mm-hmm. I'm sticking around.
I said to you there is a nail trend that is returning.
One of the most iconic nail trends, I'd say, of the early 2000s.
OPI did it.
They were known for it.
Why am I just thinking like a solid fake, like an acrylic nail?
That's all I'm thinking.
Crackle nails.
Oh my God.
If you are, oh, my God.
Fletch, let us fill your head.
I don't know what's happening.
So crackle nails, I'm just going to go.
Google a photo for you. Crackle nails were
OPI did it and there
was a, it was a
nail polish colour on so it was red
and then you get your top coat, you'd get your
crackle coat say it was purple
and you'd paint it on it would look like it was all purple
and then it would start to crackle
and you'd see the red coming through.
I'm just going to say it, Haley you 100%
would have worn it. One, majority
of the time.
I utterly frothed
this love. That screams Haley.
It screams anyone that
was a leopard print, eh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'd get the black crackle top coat,
and you'd put it over the top
and you'd have colours underneath.
When was this a thing?
Early 2000.
Okay, I was going to say it's got big emo.
No?
You think a little bit later,
Carlin's disagreeing.
Yeah, definitely later.
I had like 10 of them.
Yeah, I definitely had it when I was like primary
and intermediate.
Yeah, we're definitely in the same age.
I went to be mean, but you just told me,
I've been too mean to you today.
I've actually been ruthlessly bullied
in the workplace today, and I won't stand for that.
There's this photo.
Carwin and Shannon a picture of me
that's so bad that Carmen Weed her pants a little bit.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay, so context, context.
Yesterday, so I had to get a photo of Haley
to apply for something.
Let's just leave it at that.
Let's just leave it at that.
And anyway, so I said to Haley,
I need a photo of you at a white wall.
And I took it on my portrait mode,
on my iPhone, which is really good quality.
And I said, I am...
Emphasis on the really good quality.
I said to him, I was like, do I smile or do I not smile?
No, neutral.
I said neutral expression.
I said it just, no one is going to see this photo.
It's not publicly available.
And yet he's absolutely shown everyone.
It just needs to go on this application form and then, you know, no one else.
So I just stood there like this.
And I said to her, oh, that will do.
I'm not going to show you the photo though.
Because he knew I had a date last night and he knew that I needed to be hyped up for it.
Yeah.
And anyway.
I feel like a doll.
Well, I don't think that will do.
I did the application
and it just made me laugh so much.
Show it, show it to Georgia, show it.
I showed Carwin and Shannon
and they pissed themselves.
Literally, she never said
a little bit of whee's came out.
I'm going to come over and show
Georgia the photo of Haley that I used.
I can't wait to see it again.
And the ID.
Now, Haley,
it screams that you might have committed a crime.
It's bad as well.
Like a thug.
Yeah.
There's just something.
That doesn't look like you.
You're just silently peeing yourself.
Now she's laughing.
But you're gorgeous.
Just in every other photos.
It's confirming that the phone is not gorgeous.
No, it just doesn't look like you.
Because you've seen my passport photo, right?
It's stunning.
Oh my God, it's stunning.
It's stunning.
It's stunning.
I'm going to be loud into the country because they'll see my passport and then they'll be like, where's the visa?
And the sirens go of, go, go, go, go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Catfish, catfish.
Catfish.
Okay, I'll show you my passport.
honestly, one of the most beautiful photos of me
ever taken. And I'm gutted for
the year of 2028 when I have to get replaced
and I'll be 10 years older.
That's actually awesome for a passport when you can't
smile. Yeah. Come have a look.
Yeah, she's kind of smising. You're kind of smising.
You're Tyra Banks. Yeah.
It's a great passport photo.
That's a passport photo. Oh yeah, that's hot.
Do you know, I'm hot.
I'm hot. Kim Kardashian could never.
Yeah, I mean, it's good. You know,
beauty is a scale and these
two photos show the scale.
Wow, Shannon's not been quite mean to you today, eh?
Shannon has bullied me endlessly.
Shiboo, how dare you?
The nicknames have been changed in the group chats this morning.
Jabubu.
That's you, Jabobo.
Oh, Djibobo.
Yeah, Jabobu.
We're kabubu, shibobu, flibobu, babubu, and your Jabobu.
