From the ZM Podcast Network, this is Fletchforn and Haley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse, the biggest brands at the lowest prices. ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Thank you, Brin. Good morning. Fletch Fawn and Haley, welcome to the show. Happy 1st of September. Oh, yes. Okay, it's September already.

That's insane. How wild. Then calendar-wise, we're spring, eh? I know it's not the spring equinox yet, but... September, October, November are our spring months. Not feeling springy outside. And judging by the weekend's weather. No. Is it bad everywhere?

Because, yeah, yesterday when I got home, I was driving on the motorway and it was just absolutely bucketing down. Yeah, it's not a great day. Most of the country are quite windy and wet. Right. So a good day if you're a kite porter. Yes, I agree. The 50-not gusts. Yesterday at motorway, one got blown away.

Yeah, I don't think that's too powerful. Too much win for the wind surfers, kite surfer guys. Secret Sound this morning is back at $40,000 to jackpot. 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock your next chances, if you know the secret sound. I reckon we could get that up to 50 this week. Surely, right? Do you know what I mean? 40's still good, but...

Come on. So much money. Come on, soundkeeper Brock. Top six on the way. Yeah, well, Michael Hill, Jueler. RIP. RIP, but the company lives on. And that's what he would have wanted.

Yeah. They're releasing a Taylor Swift-inspired engagement ring. Saw that. So I thought, why don't other companies get on board with Taylor Swift-inspired products and services? Have you seen over the weekend pretty much every region in New Zealand has been like, come and get married here? Guys, we're just coming across a little bit desperate. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit.

Pick me. All right? So just everybody pump the brakes. New Zealand's being so pick me right now. I would find it quite hilarious if she did choose Palmer's in Nor. Yes, she had no idea And just saw one photo of a beautiful venue And was like, oh, lovely

Lovely And how do we get there? Fly on a time Oh no, she's got her own plane She's got her own plane. She could land her little plane there. Did you see the memes Taylor's sort of walking down the island A wedding back?

Yeah, it was just her play. So good. That's... I miss those memes, they're so funny. Yeah. That's funny. So the top six. Yeah, the top sex are products

and services that could be attached to this wedding. Play ZM's Flashboard and Haley. This makes me so embarrassed and I think it's probably because in New Zealand we don't really have this. We don't really have paparazzi, do we? Like no one's getting

snapped on the streets. A big celeb, I guess like the newspapers might send or some TV might go down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Try and track them down. Yeah, maybe. But that would be only if there was like an international celeb. Well, you know Abby Chatfield

who, she hosts a podcast and she dates that guy, from that band Peaking Dark. Peaking Dark, thank you. Thank God you knew it. She has a podcast. It's really popular.

It's called it to law. And she admitted to accepting a $1,000 deal for staged paparazzi photos and that she paid the paparazzi, sorry. Right. To take a photo of her and her then boyfriend and get like fake papped.

Right. And she was like, oh, I reached out to that it was this whole thing. She was speaking very candidly about it going like, you know, I just wanted to get ahead at the time. And so I reached out to a local photographer and was like, can you come and pat me? And I'll give you a gram.

And it has opened up this whole side of these Aussie influencers who are paying paparazzi. And now paparazzi have started leaking messages they've received from various influences, like a woman called Pip Edwards, who founded, you know, P.E. Nation, very like lots of... sports brands. She reached out to paparazzi via Instagram

a year or so ago, asked them to come back and pat her because she didn't like the first shots and she was like, no, no, no, no, we're good. And she was like, no, no, no, please I'll give you something so much better. And all the texts have come back. There's another one, a maths contestant who had messaged a pap to arrive at the airport and get a rival

photos and then follow her to dinner. Oh, this is embarrassing. Yeah, she said that they would always She admitted to her and said Well, you just need to stay relevant Another big brother and I'm a celebrity Get Me Out of Here winner Offered, again slid into a paparazzi's DMs

And Said That was like You and I can split the profits between the photos That you sell this person It goes on, they're so many How much are they making from these photos The paparazzi?

I don't know And I'm also like, these are like, not to be like tall poppy syndrome, but they're not. No, they're just like movie stars. They're just like reality TV stars and influences and whatnot. And it's like, it's so. Oh, that's so cringe. It's so cringy. It's so cringy to be like, oh my God, I'm just out.

And then you think about them like kind of as they want to walk out in the outfit, you know, like, oh my God, I'm just trying to have lunch. I'm just trying to have lunch. No paparazzi's. Oh. It's so bad, eh? Do you know I was doing this thing the other day though And I did There was, I was being filmed

Yep For this thing So I had a little crew with me And there's out and about And a woman came up And she was like looking like this And she had her phone And I turned around and I said

Oh did you want to get a photo with me She was like no no no Can you take a photo of me And then just stopped me In the middle of the shoot For me to take a photo of her It's really humbling Humbling good yeah

She said I don't want a photo of you I don't know who you are You needed that Yeah yeah She was like no can you just take a photo of me She felt pretty And it was a nice park. Yeah, nice.

I was like, absolutely, I'll take a photo. Play Z-DEMs, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Now, my Polish is a little rusty. Okay. Be it yours, as a Polish CEO. And he loves tennis. So he goes to the US Open.

And when tennis star, Camille, I think your Polish is spot-on, to be honest. I don't even know if that last one was Polish, to be honest. Okay. he's like signing things passing it up as he's leaving the court and a little fellow

big tennis fan or he just got dragged there by his parents I don't know how much does it cost to take a kid to the US open can't be cheap can't be cheap they'd have to like it so the kid gets a hat

with a signature on it oh that'll make his day well it would have but the Polish millionaire CEO reaches over his shoulder and yoink yoink steals this is such a have you seen this video

I haven't seen the club it's so funny the kids just like he was passing it to me So it's in his hand The tennis player sees the kid And it's like, I'll give the kid the head Cause that to the kid You know

But then is he a kid not a fully growing man Is he intercepted? And I mean the tennis player must be like Oh this must be the kid's dad Or like he's helping him Nope, yoink take him Well the kid's kind of like Huh

Like trying to point like If you Google POL Polish CEO comes up Oh yeah Oh really Yeah So people... US Open hat snatcher.

So people, internet sleuths were just like, we've got to find out who this guy is and we put in the work and found out that it was indeed this guy. He was the internet criminal of the day, wasn't he yesterday. And then they found the most sinister-looking photo of him they could and they used that as that.

He looks like an Eastern European, like Bond villain. No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to give me that hat. Yoink! Oh my God. The yoink is crazy. I'm just watching now. That's so mad And the poor little kids just like

Hey he took my hat He took my hat to bat Mr Mr But all is well now All as well Because the guy The tennis player Whose name I will repeat now

Camel Mesh He met with the kid And signed some stuff And had a photo with him And gave him a new hat Got it all Like Fletcher and I were talking about this

It all happened too quick Yeah I know It'd have been a bit A bit more of a hunch Like a week And we finally At the end of the week

we find out who this man is. And then he gets fired from his job. You ruin his life. Ruin his life. His wife leaves him. So some things he's been called online. A sack of garbage. Common thief.

Primitive scammer and shameful jerk. Quite like those. Shameful jerk's got a nice one. It was, I mean, pretty embarrassing. Because that went quite viral. You can't buy class. Yeah, yeah. He's actually gone absolutely silent on social media too.

He hasn't issued like an apology or anything. Apparently since he's attempted to make amends with the fan in his family He wanted to make things right I mean Put him up Well no the tennis player made things right Didn't he?

I think it's a tennis player that made things right No no the millionaire has since attempted to make a means He wanted to make things right So I gave him the credentials The tennis player for Brock's mum on the same social media I was using to contact her to be like Hey can I get you something So he helped kind of facilitate

So maybe he can make things right But there's no more on that Do you know what I mean? Little Mill? Yeah. Little Mill for snatching a hat. Cool Mill? Cool Mill.

Cool Mill? God, that embarrassing though. Like, you've got to remember there are cameras. Also, you can... Especially at one of the most televised sports events in the world. Play ZM. Fletch Fawn and Haley. Fletch Fawn and Haley.

Silly little pooh. Silly little bowl. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly. The silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

The first silly little pole For the week How do you pick your supermarket trolley? Just grab the nearest one Or find the best I'm more of a basket guy But I'll do a half trolley You're a basket fellow

You bloody basket I do a half trolley renown again But always scan for old soggy receipts And lettuce sleeves Yeah, dodge them. Yeah. A bent handle tells me it's been in a serious prang. Yeah.

And that's likely affected the wheel alignment. I'll check the rust in case... My corrosion's very... Somebody's taking it out and they've been sleeping in it for a few weeks. Yeah, sleeping in it. Some people do, Vaughn, yes. It does feel... Like, there's no real space for it.

Like in some supermarkets, you grab it, you back it out, you push it through the tittittittittittings. You don't have enough time to be like, oh, this is bung. And then you hear that it's... Ta-t-t-ting, ding, ding, d' got a rickety wheel. No good, no good. Whereas some of the supermarkets they're kind of to the side so you can put...

Give a bit of a run. Yeah. Who's got the best trolleys? Oh. Oh, that's where I was. I got Kaymart the other day the worst trolley I've had in a long time. Oh, really?

The back wheel had a wobble. Yeah. Like a wibble, woo, bobble, bo, and so it was making a noise as you pushed it. And the front, the steering was gone in the front. Oh, when you're fighting it? Yeah. And had a big bullet in a riot.

Do you like the trolleys where all the wheels turn or the back wheels are straight? Straight. And the front turn. Yeah. That's your best trolley. Who does have the best? I thought they're all just the same.

No shit. No, one doesn't stick out to me as being superior. Costco, big, dupe. They have huge trolleys. So you're sleeping one of those. Yeah, you could. I would have thought New World had the bougiest. Yeah, I know, but New World's my local and sometimes I get a rickety.

Oh, okay. I know they're doing their best as well, no complaints. Yeah. Well, 78% of people just grab the nearest trolley. Yeah. And 22% of them try to find the best one. Okay. Yeah.

So some feedback on it. Becker said, I actually have a curse. No matter which supermarket trolley I choose, it will be the loudest, most broken one they have every time. Yeah, same. I'm cursed. What about when one wheel isn't quite touching the ground? Yes.

Oh, yeah, that's weird. How did that happen? It's all out of kilter. It's like when you go to a cafe in the outside tables, wobbly. Jeez, you should see that if you're a cafe. Abigail said, need to have space to contain 19 months. old twins. It's very hard to find one that has both seatbelts still intact.

Not that that'll stop them climbing out. Yeah, I'm almost letting them run at that stage. I just put them in the trolley and just kind of stack the tins around them. Yeah, yeah, totally. Put them in the bucket. Just an idea. Yeah, and on top of them. Yeah, just sort of hold that. Yeah.

Back in the day before the supermarket had those announcements saying, please don't hang off the front of the trolley. You used to ride it out. It was fun. Yeah. Hanging on. Down the ramp. Sam says, how do people have time to worry about weird shit? Like what trolley they get?

Just moan when you have a bad one and carry on your day. All right, what you've done, Sam, has taken time to moan about people moaning, which is worse than just having a moan. It's sort of a double moan. Yeah, you've now used your time to have a moan about people using their time to have a moan. Yeah. So much worse than just having a moan. Yeah.

Good to reflect that back to him, born, thank you. Yeah, well, sometimes you've got to hold a mirror up to society and look at yourself. You do. I only go with the smaller ones that way they're easier to whip around this is Carlina that sounds like a half trolley tip as well the half trolleys

you can push them over the self-serve shelf Can you? Is that a Carl Fletcher guarantee for every supermarket? My supermarket's got a sign to show you how to do it and if someone's standing there

with their trolley in the middle they'll push it over and show them it's genius I do sort of think you shouldn't have a trolley in the south suit I know, I just got it over the aisle. Although my local supermarket has a giant self-serve area. It does actually.

Not actually too bad. It does actually. Huge turning circle there. Yeah. And sometimes they'll only have like one or two people on actual the actual checkouts. Yeah, they're encouraged. Yeah. Briar said, it has to give good vibes and not have a random lettuce leaf in it.

And that's how she picks her trolley. Vibes. Good vibes. Always have a random lettuce leaf in there. The ice big lettuce, it always just falls off. You're playing for that leaf, too, by the way. Yeah, no, but you don't eat those leaves anyway. Nah, you pull them off.

Pull them off. Oh, we'll move some to get one without the stupid cup holders on the handlebar, said Sheldon. Oh, cup holders. Yes, some do, some do have the posh. You know, the supermarkets with the cafes in them. Oh, for you coffee. Yeah, they'll do that. Get a coffee and a walk.

Sarah said, in the UK, they chain them up, so you have no choice. You just get literally the one on the back. Oh, okay. Because you can't, like, pull more than one out of the time. Yeah. Kind of like at an airport, you know, when you've got to, like, clip that back one off. Oh, my God, the airport and that's push down, otherwise the wheels lock? They charge you $9 for a trolley or something ridiculous.

Piss has been taken, yeah. Taylor, I'm not going to be that guy with the one trolley screeching down every aisle, so it's a thorough inspection before I pick mine. Yeah, good. Renee said, always check the wheels before you commit. No, wants to have a clonky, noisy trolley. No, they're the pit. It ruins the whole experience.

It really kills the entire experience. Also, when I do get a big trolley, I like to drift it around the corners. Yes So you've got to have You've got to take her a drift at Yeah Kela said my anxiety could never let me Take more than half a second extra

To annoy the person that's 200 metres behind me So that sounds like she's just taking whatever trolley She's given What a people pleaser I know And Victoria said it has to have a cup holder And a slot for the scan to go hold a thingy What are you scanning your own

Oh is that pack and save that does that Oh no my local supermarket Got rid of that I think people were stealing too much Oh absolutely your people getting away with it be taking the pass. How's that monitored? Yeah, exactly. They would apparently do random

checks every now and again. That's right. I'm not random enough to stop everybody, hey? No. That's life. Well, for silly little poll today, we asked how do you pick your supermarket trolley and 78% of you just grab the nearest one. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley.

Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Can I show some passion for the music we play? Sure. I listen to Sabrina Carpenter's new album. Top to Tate. twice. It's pretty good, eh? There are some bops in it. Yeah. There are some really good songs and it's some content that is questionable and some lines when it was happening and I looked at my daughter and it went straight over her head and I was

like, I saw her doing an interview about some of the lyrics of the new album and she was like, what do you say to the response you've been getting that people are like, it's so controversial and she was like, you need to get out more. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine. It's abundantly clear that she doesn't care. Well, for passion for music for music to a funny story. I'm ticking all the boxes. You are. We laugh out louder. We play songs.

A British warehouse worker has been ruled, he was unfairly dismissed after being accused of impersonating Michael Jackson and making offensive noises towards a particular colleague. The colleague who will call SM. Yeah. Because that's what they referred to in the court papers

because they wanted to keep their name. Yeah. Immediately, I just think. Stephen Murray. Sarah Marshall. Stephanie Mitchell. Reported Lucas. Now, Lucas, you'll remember,

is the person making Michael Jackson noises. In December 2020, claiming he was making Michael Jackson's he-he-he-he-he-ha-ha-sound. Monkey noises and racist remarks. Oh, okay. Wait. Lucas denied making monkey noises.

But admitted to me... See, I'd chuck in a denial of the racist remark, too, I reckon. Yeah, I mean, you would, wouldn't you? I love that. Hey, hey, I never... I did not make monkey noises. I would never impersonate a monkey. Racist, yes, but...

Oh, no monkey. But admitted to making embarrassing and juvenile grunting and moaning noises at work. Oh, this guy sounds terrible to work with. He was suspended for breaching the bullying and harassment policies, and then in March 2024, fired completely. He appealed this. He said, this is unfair. You haven't heard my side of the story.

Tell us more. And I think they tried to, and he got frustrated, and he banged his fists on the table and left. Now, it was ruled that while his behavior was unprofessional, and immature, there was no evidence of distress caused to SM or that it amounted to bullying or harassment. And they'd been working together for a long time. And apparently it hadn't had a problem with the,

he, he, he, he, oh my God, it just, that would drive you crazy. So, they had to pay the Lucas, the Michael Jackson, he, he, 24,000 New Zealand dollars. Oh, God. And who. But then they half, you. it because they said while his

conduct was not grounds for dismissal very inappropriate in the workplace and then they met the guy right and we're just like take half off this guy's the most annoying person I've come across so right yeah it would be so annoying

yeah yeah he yeah unless it's but we how did he I just want to know how we transitioned between the Michael Jackson the monkey noises and the racism do you know what I I mean, you see a creative flow. Well, no, that I don't want to...

No monkey can replicate here. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Yeah. Sort of, it's clunky. Right. Do you know what I mean? Can you fire anyone these days? Jeez, it's hard.

Yeah. He was racist and they're like, oh, we're going to pay him money for unfair dismissal. Mm. And again, I will reiterate, um, he was accused of monkey noises. He-he sounds and racist remarks denied monkey monkey noises. Yeah. Michael Jackson And the racism

who has unpaid fines or reparation. We believe you are this person. Goodness. I'm this person. We're sending you this letter because in-land revenue, Oh, okay. Oh, Jesus, it got worse.

It got worse. The erred. We're sending you this letter because erd has advised us of new information for you and we propose to pass this information to the court to enforce unpaid fines or reparation of their behalf. Wait, is this a scam? One of those scam letters? No, because please contact us on 0804 fines,

which is Ministry of Justice's phone number for... No, but that's... Is the idea wouldn't send them straight in? Oh my God, that is. It is. It's 0804 fines as a minute. Ministry of Justice. If you do not believe you are this person we are looking for,

Is it confirmed the inland revenue? It's not like... Because remember how you love driving in bus lanes. But my car's not registered under my name. Hashtag gifted, hashtag ad. You know what I mean? hashtag promo. So. How many tickets are North Harbour Mazda getting?

I know poor North Harbour Mazda. I do apologise. I usually fang it down the bus lane sometimes. So I don't know what this could be. Oh, you better hope it's not. Because you know you hear stories all the time of people with the same name or very similar names. There'd been no other Haley's brows. But if I had parking fines or speeding fines from my old car... That's not IID though.

It's not IID and I would have had more less. It is to say, you know, final notice, fine. I haven't had any of those. Oh. So other than that, what do I pay? Taxes and GST and that kind of stuff. I've paid all that. Have you?

I just love the wording. You haven't ever been part of a company? I had a company once ages ago, but that was all cleared up years ago. Was it? Or was it? Somebody said it could, is it an unpaid toll? No, but it's not IRD. It wouldn't get involved in that.

wouldn't it? Yeah. Waka Cortahi. Yeah. And also, I mean, I do have unpaid tolls, but North Harbour Mazda's just sort of that out for me. I just, I did like multiple trips up north and down to Toadanga. You are really bad, Hayley.

Well, Haber Mazda calls me there. Abacetano. Haley Sprout lead Mazabasda. Pay your tolls. Pay whatever. I mean, I just, I'm nervous. Obviously, I'm going to ring them and clear this all up. IAD just gave them an updated contact address.

It won't be the UO tax. Somebody else said there's an IRD scam going around at the moment. But that's got a barcode on it and it's got the right phone number. He's got the Ministry of Justice, the Pakiya lady and the Māori man. Yeah. To show that we're all just living in harmony. in unison under the justice system. Make sure you call a phone number that is from the actual website.

Not on that letter, just in case. I mean, the website? It looks legit though. Collections, barcode? It is the same number because I just went to the justice.gov.com. And it is 0804 fines. Did I get hotter now that I'm a crim? Not only am I a Mazda Baceter.

You're a crim. A keen, loyal Mazda basseter. Yeah. But I am a criminal. Well, make sure you join us tomorrow to find out if Haley is going to prison. Yeah. Or if maybe one of our own business ventures owes a lot of tax. We'll find out tomorrow.

And he looked at me and he was like, what do you reckon it sounds like? And he was like, Vorgian? Well, like, he's never heard the name Vorn before?

He was a young fellow. Right, okay. He's a young fellow. I said it's Vaughn and he's like, spell like this. I said, that's cool. Spell like this. some unnecessary shit in there. Dude, you can just go V-A-U

and then straight to the end, cut out the G and the H in the second eight. Yeah. People are getting dumber, eh, I reckon? Oh, yeah. I'll say it. Yeah, I'll say it on behalf of the smart people. I'll say it. They're getting dumber.

I'll say it. He's saying what I was thinking is that I always liked about him. I'm not afraid to say it. Next up, he's going to let the beneficiaries have that. He's going to let them know what he thinks. Absolutely not. No, he's not. He would not dare.

No. We've all been on the dog. Having a receptive, yeah, exactly. we've all had wins payments and it was free money and looking forward to maybe one day again can I just side step to take a step backwards yes we have had confirmation from Derek at North Harbour Mazda

who is my boss really and he is happy with Mazda Bacida I don't know if Derek's allowed to make that call I know Derek he gets carried away he gave me a Mustang and it didn't even just look at my license you know old you know old Haley Masda Mazzad

You can't bloody stop her being a Mazda Bessida Love it okay All right all right A young couple bought up a TikTok I see on the horizon a bunch of pretty cringe and hard to watch content as their joint account name is Felicia Felicia

All right, Paul Han How rich is that? Felicia X Harold That's their joint couples account Yeah, they've got a couple's TikTok account. How many people are still doing couples accounts Like Instagram and stuff? Those that don't have trust

Because it screams that, doesn't it? Those that have no trust. But mine, Darrell just doesn't do social media. So I just like to keep you one updated on Daryl's happenings. Well, we'll bloody show Daryl. And what was actually happening is Daryl was liking too many hot models. Yeah. On Instagram.

Give Daryl some bloody breathing room with. And accidentally reposting some girls in bikinis. Yeah, don't repose Daryl. What do you do? So this joint, they said they had a big break on their wedding day between like the official stuff and the reception. They had a five-hour social battery recharge. And this is what's made the internet go, what?

You just stopped your wedding for five hours. So, I've, as someone that now pays for chat, GPT, because I'm going to work my way out of my personal recession, and you've got to spend money to make money. Yeah. I've used chat and I was like, what's the deal with this? It's a long held tradition. Really?

A lot of religions, have it a lot of cultures around the world, they've obviously not called it a social battery recharge. Because that's a relatively new term. Right. But yeah, early morning or mid-morning ceremonies, and then... Everyone goes away. Everyone goes away. Oh, no.

Because a lot of the time, like, there might be a wedding, but everybody still had jobs they needed to do. Right. That were crucial, you know, to get it done. So they'd go away and they'd milk the cows or they'd plough the field or that, I don't know, pluck a chicken. And... Yeah, but it's 2000...

It's 2025. No, it's plucking chickens anymore. Pluck a chicken. There's like road cisseries at the supermarket. Yeah, well, those chickens had to be plucked. No, they burn them off on when they're going round. You don't have to pluck anymore. You think they go on to the rotissory thing with feathers.

Yeah, full chop. Yeah, they burn off. They burn off the heads and the... They burn off the beaks and everything. And then the beans and the feet and stuff would be one of the last man standing in the... And then when it burns off, they coat it in honey soy. Yeah. Terriarchy or they stuff the cussus in its an penis.

You know? Whilst ones it's guts burn out. It's crazy. You think people are still manually plucking chugging. So they go away, they pluck their chickens, and they come back five hours later for the knees up, for the party. This wedding that's gone viral, where did the guests go? Did they just stay at the reception or in a tent or a marquee? Our friends, imagine we walk away, five hours to come back.

Legless. Legless. Everyone be on the floor. Okay, here's a positive of it. If you need to charge the social battery, like the ceremony is the least social part of it. You need a full battery for later on. So if you're dipping into your battery reserves earlier in the day, the small talk, the how are you lovely to meet you, and then that dips the battery,

and then they go away for photos, but it's not long enough to kind of like nip off for a nap or go and have a bit of quiet time you're expected to carry on and socialise, but you're drinking on their ticket. Yeah. And then later on, you're still drinking on their ticket and you're tired or whatever.

But imagine being able to do the formal stuff in the morning, go away, do whatever you want. Brunch. If it's brunch and you're drinking, you're drinking on your ticket. saving the people getting married money. Friends are just going to find a bar and get absolutely sloshed. That's what I mean.

If we went to a reception, the three of us, and then they were like, I'll pop back in five hours, we'll be like, should we pop down to the Irish? You know what I mean? Wait a minute. I wasn't on board, but are we going to go to the Irish? We're going to get a burger. We're going to get some guineas.

We're going to get a couple of creamy pipes. We'll get to the point where I don't even want to go back. We're having so much fun here. Speech isn't going to be quite 21stish, shan-be. You love you like a brother. You're like a brother to me. Yeah. So I'm all for a social battery recharge

as somebody whose battery does pit her out quite easily. I'm like an old, I'm like an old rechargeable. You've been recharged too many times we kind of need to throw you out. And then there's a couple of half-charges. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bang me on the floor. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. So we, this is, if you haven't seen this,

I really employ you to watch the whole clip. Benson Byrne. He did a cover while he was in his live concert of Adele. Listen to this. It is ridiculous. Like, it is incredible. We listen to the whole thing, eh? Listen, the big note's coming up.

The big note. The big test of this song. Yeah. I just a little skip for it. Look, listen. I'll skip DJ. Listen. When we're here.

He's good. He's good. It happened again. We listened to this on Friday in the car and I got Goosies. It's so good. The whole song's online. If you're musical, that's the original key that Adel sings in. Really?

Dahl sings in Benson. But you've got to go check it out. Benson Boone covers Adel when we were young. Yesterday, I attended a recipe that has been long talked about on the show. Okay. What year would it have been? Two or three years ago even that we had David Correus in studio. Special guest, David Carrauss.

comedian, very funny man, wild, wild energy, a wild energy on that fella. Oh, absolute loose unit. And he mentioned Filipino meatloaf. And we said, David Karras, tell us more. And he said, it's hard to describe, it's like meatloaf, but in the middle of eggs and Frankfurters. It's just meat upon meat upon meat. It's a meat and meat and meaty, meaty, and then chuck some egg in there and some herbs and

spices. And, well, yesterday, I was going to a friends for lunch. And I thought, I'm going to make a lot. Filipino meatloaf to take. Because why not try a weird recipe for the first time when you're going to someone's house for lunch? I was just going to say you'll go to people's house. You want to impress with a dish

and you're going to make something you've never, ever made before. Yeah. So I use the traditional cooking method of steaming it. So what happens is you get mints. I mixed beef mints and pork mints. And I didn't have like Costco hot dogs. But I think every recipe I saw, it was like, no, no, no, don't use a good sauce.

please. Don't be full. You put a rotten little... Sizzlers? Could you put Sizzlers in? Cheezer Zizzlers? Double cheese sizzles? Double cheese sizzles? Double cheese. Cheesey weasys in there. And then you boil a whole lot of eggs and put them in there as well. And so you get the mince and then you lay it on it.

You grease up a bit of tinfoil and then you pat, pat, pat, pat the mince into like a big square patty. And then in the middle you put... By the way, it also said American string cheese. like out of a can. No. But I didn't have that. So I just sliced cheese thin and put that in there. And then some actual beef sausages because I didn't have it.

So it was a bit of like a posh. And I think that's where I went home. Oh, did people like it? I used, oh, they loved it. And last night, because I overestimated how much. And I was left with two full-sized Filipino meatloves. So last night I pretty much ate. And my kids were like, it looks like a big, huge shit.

Yeah. And I was like, often the best tasting things. do. And then they tasted it and they were like, okay, that is legitimately delicious. What do you, the meat life taste it with? Like, what, are there, is there any seasoning? Because my mom's meat life is more of a barbecuey, you know, it's saucy. It's really sticky and saucy. Okay, so what a, uh, so this is a big pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, carrot, a capsicum, chopped up, onion, garlic, optional to put raisins in. And I thought, that too controversial. That too controversial. I love Filipino food. I, sometimes it just, it's crazy.

It's wild And then pickle relish Ketchup, soy sauce blah blah blah So that's what you put in the thing And then you just jam in Like sizzlers or Frankfurters

Next time I do it I'm going I'm going like trailer trailer park on it I'm just seeing a picture online Of one that it does have The raisins in it Yeah yeah

Yeah So bizarre The raisins are of such a controversial addition to a savoury Right So after all these years You finally make this dish And you send Haley and I

Photos It looked like It looked And before it was cooked, it did look odd, didn't it? And then when it was steamed, because I steamed it, and when I took off the tin floor, it looked even worse. Yeah, but then I grilled it, and it browned up. Oh, and it looks nice.

Yeah. So, and it tasted real yum. It was like basically eating a burger patty with a sausage inside and some eggs. Yeah, I mean, just meat and eggs. Me meat. If you went heavier on the pickle, it would almost be a cheeseburger. Right. You can't go wrong.

It's at the point where you sent us photos on the group chat. that I think we're living in a simulation because we're sitting on the plane Haley and I coming back from Australia and I'm like oh Vorn's finally making the Filipino meatloaf Haley Look oh my god look at that Walking down the aisle

David Correos Bullshit No He was sitting like three rows back from us I was like hey look Vaughn's making the Filipino He was like what He's like and he got real excited

Did he? Show me show me! I should send him photos Yes it was like it was like Yeah. It was like we're living in a simulation. They ran out of characters and David Freos heard his name and popped up on a plane in Australia. It was so funny.

We were like, oh my God, David! He was like, that looks good. Some Filipino, by the way, I think we're quite popular with the Filipino community. We're getting some feedback on it. Oh, fantastic. And Podetto, I'm sorry if I say that wrong. You dip it in sweet or sour a sauce.

Yes, yes, yes. Because that's what's missing for me. There was no sauce. Not saucy enough. It was very moist. It was a very moist. It was a very moist. It was a very moist, but yes.

Very moist. Like, very moist. How moist. Very moist. Somebody else said, Filipino here, when we eat Filipino meatloaf or imbetoto, as we've just learned it's called.

I think you're, massacring that. We usually put banana ketchup on it. What? Sorry, what is banana ketchup? What, like, ketchup mix with banana? Go on. Go on.

Banana ketchup is also known as banana sauce. In the Philippine fruit ketchup condiment made from banana, sugar, vinegar and spices. Yes. Oh, yum. It actually looks, it looks kind of like a curry sauce,

like a sort of, I'm... Natural colour is brownish yellow but it's often dyed red to resemble tomato ketchup. Can you make some? You should make some next time. Yeah, I will.

I will. Well, brother, good on you for trying new things. Yeah. You know, and you finally did it after all this years. You're putting a sausage and eggs inside more meat. You really did. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley.

Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Right now I want to know How far did you go for your partner Or how far did they go for you A grand gesture, a big move Because let's be honest You're always going to remind them You went that far

Yes Now Now I had a left hand and froze Sorry I just had a little mental breakdown That's okay So there was a This is the show of the Menti B

Yes If you need to have a Menti B Thank you No I'm good actually I've just said how good is life today I'm really I don't know where I am in my cycle, but I'm at that point where everything's great. Before it comes crumbling down and I lose my mind.

So there was a Canadian couple, Steve and Janine. They were out at dinner and she looked down at her hand and did this thing that I've done before you go, oh my God, wedding ring's gone, both of them. The engagement ring, the big rock, one-carat diamond, solitaire and a slim white gold band with some small diamonds on it. Gone. She never takes them off.

Frantic. She was like absolutely beside herself. searching the restaurant, which wasn't far from where they lived, nothing. So they thought that maybe they, she'd washed, you know, been washing dishes or something. They'd slip down the drain, nothing like that. Back at home, they was checking, the security cameras saw that she'd had them the day before.

Yeah. And then on the security cameras noticed that while she was out watering her plants in the garden, they were gone from the hand. Now I'm thinking, these must be some great cameras. I want to know the make and model. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

So they went through her day yesterday and they were like, oh, she was gardening and she was working with some compost, not just some compost, but 18 tons worth of compost that they have at their house. Right. And it's all in this like big compost bag. And so her husband thought,

after they obviously like search the house and everywhere else, could it be in the compost? So he, single-handedly, went through 18 tons of compost. looking for them. Which compost are they working? 18 tons. Does there have a farm or something?

Must do? That's a lot, right? That's 18,000 kilograms of compost. Now, we think of buying a bag of compost like 40 litres. Yeah. How much is that? Oh, yeah. We're on a farm.

We're on a farm. Oh, yeah. Okay. Because it's huge. It's like a big, like, dump. Oh, my God. It's like they are, oh, okay. They're proper doing mass compost, Nardi Elim styles.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, there's all you. Do you know what Nadia Limp told her she could dispose of a body and a compost? I know. Yeah, it was at that moment It was hot when she said it actually Yeah, but it was at that moment I thought, whoa, I'll just watch myself

around Nardi-A-Lum. Don't cross her. I'll never cross her, never say a bad thing about her and I want to end up in her hot compost. It's hot, it goes quite hot, the gases. It cooks you, it basically melts down. And then she's only got to grind the bones. If I was to die, not being murdered by Nardialim,

but I died of natural causes. Put me in the compost. Compost me. Great idea. So he goes through this 18 tons of compost. like a mountain of it. Does I imagine a mountain of compost? He bloody finds them.

He doesn't stop until he finds them. And he found them both. The diamond, the gate is in the wedding ring. And she was like, most husbands would be like, oh well, you know, I'm not doing that. You'd almost get one of those like metal detector wands that airport security use and just kind of wand it through the compost. Because of their serious composters, there'll be no other metal in there. No.

Oh my God, he said it was actually lucky that people think that's a lot. The day before there was more. it got trucked away. So, like, it's, anyway, he just went, he was like above and beyond. And I want to know, when did you go above and beyond for your partner? You made a huge move. Or they did it for you. Really out of your way.

To please them, to find something, to do something. Yeah, how far did you go for the one that you love? Okay, 0800,000 M is a number. We'd love to hear a story. Text story, 966. How far did you go for your partner? How far did you go for your partner? Or how far did your partner go for you?

because a man sifted through 18 tons of compost to find his wife's wedding rings and he found them. I would have just rung insurance. It's not a big deal. Yeah, be like, well, you lost to me a silly tart. Yes, a message is in. My boyfriend whittled me a cone piece yesterday

after I made an offhand comment that smoking joints was using up too much of our weed. Took them over four hours. Now, what's a cone piece? Yeah, sometimes I think that love is dead and sometimes I just hear beautiful stories like that. Wow. He whittled it, so it was wood.

What is a cone piece? This is drugs. Yeah, I know. What's a cone? What's a cone piece? We're so lame. What's a cone piece? Is that what the weed sits in?

I thought you just made that as out of bike valves and a bit of mesh. You're stuck in the Sprite bottle. Don't ask me, I don't, I'm not a weed person. I don't know either. We're so embarrassing. This is the most embarrassing thing. A high person who messaged in 445, your phone number ends in 445. Can you tell us exactly what that is?

I don't know. Where does it go? It's marijuana relay. This is much flesher than a bike valve. I was like, if he's whittled it out of wood, when you light it and then... I don't know. Let's not dwell on the drugs for him. Move on.

Look, we clearly don't know how it moves. I wish I was cooler. My partner's an avid fisherman. I gag at the smell of fish. He asked me to grab some burly cubes. Lippet belly. Got a little burrow burle. Oh, a little burlough on a burly boarly boarly boar behind a butt.

Catch off. Big one. Grab some burly cubes with my bare hands. And I just did it. And I was like, I must love this guy. Wow. I just touched the. Love is alive.

Love is actually alive. When I first started going out of my now wife, so we know it ended well. Oh no, you've played the song. It's quite a long story. We'll come back with that story next. Don't you go anywhere. Here's Justin Bieber on Zed. Don't do my job.

It's a little song called Daisies and I tell you what is great to see a return to form from the Bebster. Oh, my God. Six minutes, roommate. Zidim. We want to know how far your partner went for you or how far you went for your partner after a man sifted through 18 tons of compost to find his wife's wedding rings. Now I'll finish that story that I started. When I was first going up for my now wife, so we know it ends well. We were going up for dinner.

We pull out outside the restaurant. I turned the car off, past her the key. She hops out of the car and the keys fall into the ground and down the drain. I opened up the drain, stripped down, lowered myself down and searched for them with my feet. until I found them it was too tight to bend over and the great thing was over my head the water at the bottom was only about knee deep though

took about half an hour to find them but I did it oh oh like sifting around a drain with your toes oh yuck I just would have been like I would have got a magnet and then you're like I'm gonna get lucky

and you go back to their house and you're like and they're like no you're a drain man oh yeah you've got a drain feet you end up you're a drain you probably caught something down in that drain yeah um

lots of people kind of telling us how great they are. Yeah, I was expecting other way round. Other way around. Yeah. I would hope your partner did this for me, but you know, I would hope your partner is telling these sorts of stories. We were driving through France once, heading to Paris to flow back to New Zealand. Must be nice. I asked my wife, are you okay? She says she missed the south of France. I pulled off at the next motorway junction. We headed back to the south of France where we spent

another three days. We were about 700Ks away when I turned around. The wife was very happy. What about the flights? If you were just spending three days in Paris and you opted for three days in the south of Francis' parents, that's fine. But if you had paid for flights and had to pay a re-book or even for brand new flights. Oh, God, it's very stressful. It's someone that pre-books everything.

Yeah, very stressful. Yeah. But I tell you what, there's a couple of auto-corrects in this next text that made it a whole lot funnier. About three months into dating my now white. That means wife, yeah. Well, she might be white, though. And she could have been browner, but she could have had Vidalai go.

And now she's gone white. Well, after three months of dating my now wife, she had a dick collector knock on the front door. Hey, what? Don't you hate when they're knocking on the front door? Yeah, my God. I'm here to. I'm here to collect collect my dick. Not again.

This person's just a message straight back out. It's voice to text, you bastards. That's actually a very funny way. If you were going over to hookup's house and you knock on the door and be like, I'm here to collect some. It's a dick collecting day. knock on her to rent him with a $25,000 demand because the ex didn't pay the bills like he said he would and without hesitation I called my bank and got a loan

and went into debt for it. Oh, what? The, no way. How long had you been seeing her before you paid all her dick? Wait. That's insane. That's the, unbelievable. A lifetime of struggling with my weight

made worse by having kids. My husband paid for a gastric bypass surgery. Gave me a whole new lease on life. Good for you. A cone piece sits in the stem that goes into the bong and the weed is packed into the cone piece. Thank you for that update. And then the weed in the cone piece is lit

and then the smoke is sucked into the bong and then up into your lungs. So it is, he whittled something out of wood that will be facing extremely. And that is true. Play ZM's Fletch, One and Haley. Fletch and Haley went to Sydney over the weekend. We might not look like it,

but we did the Sydney marathon. Yeah. Was that on at the weekend? Yes, it was. I thought you guys keep that quiet. Yeah, well, I just, with the training, I didn't think people wanted to see it. No, I think it's law you have to post your Strava runs.

No, I run for me. Even though you post it in public land, it's kind of showing exactly where you live. No, I run for me. I run for me as well. I don't like to go on about my running. Yeah. But we decided we'd go to Sydney for the weekend,

but we didn't do that. I think we were the only people instant not doing, not there for it. It was crazy. I wish I'd have known it was on. We had a really fun trip, but when we got to the airport, I will say we popped into the

Coru lounge. Yes, flying the national carrier in New Zealand. The staff loved Hayley. She got a free wine on the plane even though she didn't have the ticket for the free wine.

I had just a seat ticket and then they came up with a glass of bubbles they're like you want that and I was like excuse you? She's like yes someone ordered one too many

and I'll take that surprisingly for once it wasn't you they've got a code name for Hayley on the plane the Hoover the Hoover if there's anyone that there's overflow Hoover and 6C

dump it down the sink Haley Yeah, where's the sink She's in 6C 6C Yeah So yeah They were very lovely

The flight attendants And so we were in the In the lounge Having some cocktails Because they're free In there And why not And then you looked over

My shoulder and you were like Hang on Isn't that Alex Warren The Alex Warren Who had only just met Like when was he here A couple of weeks ago A couple of weeks ago, we got to interview him.

So did he have a holiday here after he did his shows? That's what, we were just like, no, because I'd seen, there was that, remember there was a pad tie video from his Australian tour. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. They were calling for a medic and he's like, why do you want a pad tie? Maddie. Yeah, medic. Yeah, medic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Madik. Yeah, medic. He's like, no, you can't call them that. It's a great video. Yeah, yeah. Because I was like, yeah, maybe as he's still been in New Zealand or. And I was like, it's ham-A.

I couldn't figure it out because when you had been, yeah, here, and then in Australia. So we got up to get another cocktail. I opted for an espresso martini and you went for a nice grapefruit number. And we... Should you be drinking grapefruit? It'll affect your concept of pill. Yeah. No, I'm okay at the moment.

Oh my God, be careful. Be careful. Thank you. You've got to be careful. Yep, you do. At your age of pregnancy, could be. Geriatric. It was well cherry.

Very very geriatric. Anyway, so you went out, you were like, well, let's go say hi. So we went in and he was like in this little corner bit and we were like, hi Alex. And we're like, oh, we just interviewed you and he was like, oh my God, yeah, like, oh, how are you? And he was like, I'm so sorry, I'm so tired. He was so tired and he had been Perth, Perth and then was getting a Houston flight. So he was just transiting back through New Zealand.

Because we were like, have you just been here the whole time? He's like, no, no, I've been in Ozzie and back through Perth. He looked shattern and he said, oh my God, like Australia. He was like, it was so much fun, but it was really, like, took it out of him. We were like, oh, man, you know, ease up. And I said, have a cocktail. Didn't give me big, you know, drinking cocktails in the sort of, you know, afternoon. I don't think he's, I don't think he's a cocktails on the afternoon kind of guy.

But he did say, we'll have to catch up when I'm back in September. And we were like. This September. Yeah, we were like. No. Next year. Next year. Yeah.

Yeah. Because he had said to us in that interview that we did with her. Yeah. I'm going to be back next year. playing probably like Spark Arena or something like that. Yeah. And then he didn't say a day. And then he just said like, oh, see you when I'm back in September?

And we were like, oh my God. And he was like, and you said like, oh, don't worry. We won't say it on the radio. He was like, calm down. I'm not Taylor Swift. I don't care. Yeah. So that's why we're now saying it on the radio.

Yeah. And he was like, we should catch up. And I think he meant like his mates and pals and stuff. Yeah, I think his genuine friends. But then when Haley embarrass us, we were. Reestablish the connection. It was later on, we were standing there. And he was leaving on the other side of the.

area. And Haley yells out, bye, Alex! And I was like, oh my God, what are you doing? But he turned and he waved. I was just re-establishing our connection for September. I was just like, I'm just over here just being embarrassed. It's our genuine friend. He was lovely, so lovely. Gave us the time of day.

But yeah, back apparently in September. So who knows when that'll be announced. So when you were announcing, oh my God, all news. You guys have literally just announced it. Yeah, you heard it here first. Unofficial, official, straight from the horse's mouth, the horse being Alex Warren. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Haley.

This is sort of a part too, because when I was in Sydney, I saw something, and I've made a decision. And then I visited some friends last night, went back in Auckland and confirmed it. We're sort of coming up with a bit of a plan. Have you got a new hobby? I'm going to start a new hobby. And it is all part of Project Get Really Hot, which by the... way is absolutely cracking back on. Right, to bring yourself out in Mingatown.

Yeah, yeah, because I was in Mingatown quite deeply, like quite rooted. Like I bought a house and everything, mortgage free in Mingatown. Who will be mayor of Mingatown if you leave? Yeah, I know, well, I just don't want that title anymore. It wasn't on a while I had it, but I'm done. Do you know what I mean? And then I sort of moved to the outer suburbs of Mingatown more towards attractive bill.

But recently, yeah, they've changed the sort of... The zoning. The zoning, and now I'm back in Mingatown. What do they call it with? They changed the voting districts? Oh, gerrymandering. Yeah, yeah, right. They're gerrymandered you straight back into Mingatown.

They have, and then they were like, well, while you're here, do you want to be the mayor? And I was like, oh, I'd settle into this role for it, but I'd be back in Mingatown. She's doing a second term as the Mingotown mayor. Yeah, yeah, but I'm actually moving so far away from Mingatown, I've got to book a flight. Do you know what I mean? That's how, that's how... I mean, I think you're being a little harsher on yourself, but, you know... I'm going hard into Hotsville.

Because summer's coming. Yeah, and I'm going to be queen of Hotsville. God, it's getting to that. Wow, it's sort of an empire over there rather than, you know, the Democratic Republic of Mingah. That's right, that's right. It's getting to those months where the gyms are going to start to be real packed. Real packed.

And also, I haven't been feeling great, like, inside as well. So I was like, I've got to get back into the gym. Right. She's already cancelled our cycle class that we had locked in for 10 past 12. Yeah, I'm tired. I'm tired. The mayor needs her rest. The mayor must rest.

It's not easy, carrying the weight of those chains. Yeah, I know. I still have the meorship. of Mingatown. So, Project get hot, right? This is going to happen. And then I saw something that I think is going to be the cherry on the top.

Don't tell me you're going to start pole dancing. No, I'm not going to start pole dancing. Though I feel like I'm pretty natural. It's a weird way to get fit, isn't it? No. I mean, people do it and they get weird to get fit. And I'm just jealous. I can't hold on.

Okay, I'm jealous I can't hold on to the bars. There it is. There it is. There's a little weak wrists. I've got slippery weak wrists. Yeah. And you're like, so limp and sort of no. No, you can't.

You can't do it. And you've got too big a box gap. You try to grab it with your thighs and you just walk down, very wide set vagina. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Great for giving birth. Yeah. And not much else.

Anyway, so, no, I was walking through a subway tunnel and I heard like, Grr-R-R-H, and this chick, skateboard's past. Oh, my God. Dude, welcome. We all go, I entered my skateboard era a little while back. Joy, you can't just learn to skateboard. I'll get another skateboard with you. You're in your geriatric pregnancy era.

Shut up. No, I'm down. The new subdivisions have really nice roads. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This chick, roof, past me, and she was like, cool, hands in her pox. She had headphones, and I was like, this is what. Was she your tight? This is going to take me, yeah, yeah, yeah.

If I could run as fast as she was skateboarding, I would have chased her. That's what woman like. Yeah, they love that. When they're on a skateboard going in an underground tunnel, I'm guessing not well lit. They love someone to chase them. Yeah. No, and it just hit me that that's, I feel this is what it's going to be. And you know, I've also been entering my casual girl.

Okay, can I just say that you, you slipped over in the driveway last Sunday. You got like eight bruises. I did. I just slipped up. I don't think you're a skateboarder. No. You're going to have knee pads on. I know. I'm going to start with knee pads because if you go down, you'll break them.

Yeah, I'm going to do the full, I'm going to do it properly. I was like, I might even invest in some lessons. Oh, wow. Because you know what killed my skateboard, I moved rural. It's hard to skateboard, rurily. Everything's gravel and grass. Yeah. Gravel glass and rough asphalt.

Oh my God, Vaughn, will you do this with me? Yeah. We can go to the suburbs and we'll get on our boards and I'm going to learn slowly and properly. Someone just messaged saying you give me rollerblade energy and I really reject that. No, you actually do give me roller skate energy because it's kind of retro. Yeah, no, no, no. I'm going to become a cool skateboard girl because I'm not a surfer. No, I think rollerblading's made a comeback with the lady.

And then rollerblading and roller skating It looks hot. No, I'm skateboarding. I'm going to stop brushing my hair. I'm going to start skateboarding. I'm going to become a cool casual gal. Okay. Okay.

So how does it contribute to getting hot? Just the look. Just like, imagine me I'm hot and now I'm on a board and I'm like skateboarding around. Why don't you just date a skateboarder? Like, it's far easier. No.

I don't think it would be. Nah. It'd be all gnarly and bleeding in my sheets. Do you know what I mean? With his like scabs from the day. No. And all of his jeans have got tear, like, rip holes in them? No, yeah, I'm the skateboarder.

I'm the cool skateboard girl. His DC skate shoes are taking up too much room at the front door because he just kicks them off when he comes in. Yeah. A lot of messages saying, don't do it, horn. Yeah, I think... Oh, it hurts. Really hurts when you hit the ground a couple of times.

Yeah, but I need to harden up. Do you know what I mean? I need to harden up and get hot. Project get hot. How old are you going to be? 36 in a month. I think I was 36 when I entered my skateboard era as well. Screaming.

It's a bad. A screaming midlife crisis. We couldn't really be screaming it louder. Have you been listening to the show? Everything about the show at the moment is screaming midlife crisis. Everything. Play ZM's Fletchfone and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

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. Who wants to know this week's fact of the day theme? Wait He's got a sparkle in his eye Me It's something we all love Food Cats

It is a type of food Oh Chalk No we had chocolate Love is We've had chocolate It's not chocolate Chips

You have If we were playing Wordall You've got the first Two letters Write both times Choo Chouros No not Churros

Couldn't do a whole week on churots That would be a hard push Cheese Cheese Cheese Yeah we love cheese Cheese This is my Sunday

ritual my daughter August always says What's the fact of the day theme this week dad And I said don't have one yet to August any suggestions and she looked me dead in the eyes And she went cheese Yeah she's a good one Great, great a great idea She's a keeper, we'll keep her on

Keep her on Today's our first fact of the day about cheese Is the scoop on dyed cheeses Died cheeses you say What on earth do you mean Well I can tell you that cheddar cheese Which is a darker sort of a more orangey cheese is, it's a fake coloring.

Especially in America, God, they really go overbole. They go real with their presidents and their cheetahs and everything. Crazy orange. So cheddar was originally a pale cream colored cheese with a natural variation depending on what time of year it was made. Because when the spring hit and the grass boomed, grass-fed cows produced milk rich in beta-carotene, which is the same thing that makes carrots orange, giving cheese a golden and Hugh, and people were like,

a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. And then when it would go back to the out of season where there wasn't as much beta-carotene in the grass, the cheese would be paler, and they're like, no, I like the darker cheese. I want the darker cheese, please. So they were like,

we don't have the darker cheese, we can't make it, because there's not as much beta-carotene in the grass. So they started adding pigments like saffron, but we all know saffron very expensive. Carrot juice, but that affected the flavor, that changed the flavor of it to add quite a carotie cheese. And they eventually set it on anato to standardise and project the quality without

affecting the taste of the cheese. So it's a derivative from the Antioch tree, which is, again, the thing that makes it orange is the same thing that makes carrots orange and the same thing the beta carotene. I was making it orange. So it didn't affect the taste and made it that beautiful. rich colour that people are used to of having cheddar. Died, we've been lied to. Then on my deep dive

into cheddar, I learned that in Ireland there's red cheddar and people are like, there's no cheddar like red cheddar. It tastes different, it's better. It is exactly the same as cheddar. It was just dyed with more of the Anato that changed it from a pale

cream to a brighter orange cheddar. They just added more and more of it and made red cheddar in Ireland. So it's not really red. It's like just really orange. You can buy this in the supermarket. Yeah, I've seen this in our super dark orange. In our supermarkets, okay.

So the equivalent is, and then around the world, different types of coloured cheeses. Colby Jack, which I've only ever seen it here at Costco, but it's always like, that's a real American orange cheese. It's again colored with the Anato. Yeah. And there's most of the orangy ones around the world, there's Red Leicester in England,

Cheshire cheese in the UK that is coloured as well There's one called Stropshire Blue Stropshire Blue Which uses Again, a natural variant to change it But it doesn't change the cheese at all

Right Have you got a question? No, I'm etching the underneath of my arm She raised your hand like she had a question She knows when I get on a cheese roll It's good stuff Oh, Jesus I had not

Yeah, cheeses. So today's fact of the day is cheddar cheese. While it looks more orange and rich is actually a result of a added colour. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Doodoo do. At the weekend, I had to pop real quick, real quick! I had to go to a mall because, you know, I don't want to be in there.

Oh, you hate balls. Not a huge fan at all. No. The parking, the people, the stuff, the noise, the over-stimulation, the lighting in there. Yeah, it's too much. The smell of the food court. It's everything all mixed up. No, I'm not.

Getting pumped out that one little bit. Anyway, that's enough of my anxiety. Yeah, wow. But I wore, for the first time, a new t-shirt that I purchased. Okay. It's, um, on the front. Yeah, I've got my splash down on some new t-shirts. I'm wearing my Darth Mall t-shirt today.
