I'm back You sound a little clobbed Yeah I've been snotty all weekend Snottie, snoddy body Been going through the boxes of tissues For tissues Like crazy You can keep that, thank you

Yeah, it's not great, but, you know, we'll get there. It's better. It's better today. That's good. Just looking at the forecast across the country right now, I don't think many places are going to be able to see the... I'm gutted. I'm gutted. I'm not out there. What is it in eclipse? A solar eclipse.

So that's where we get between the moon and the... But we're not allowed to look at this one. Sun. Are we allowed to look at it directly? That's the sun one, eh, that we're not. No, we're not supposed to look at this one directly either. This is pinhole camera. Right. Pinhole camera stuff.

Well, if you can see it, don't look. Correct. Okay, great. So just go on as you were there. So a lunar eclipse is where the moon gets between the sun and us, and this one is where we get between the moon and the sun? Actually, I don't think anyone knows how it works for. It's magic.

I'll tell you that much for nothing. It is witchcraft and wizardry. The top six today are Uber looking to trial drone deliveries in the US. Yes, the top six issues with that. Yeah, because I imagine it's, yeah, I've got an apartment, where do they land, just on the street? Oh, they hover at the window, I reckon, and you have to pluck it in that. Just pluck it out of the sky. You live in an apartment building that's 30 stories high, and they can just hover at level 12 or something.

Yeah, put a little landing pad on your... Yeah, you have to go up to the roof. Then you might have just gone to the restaurant downstairs that you got it from, but, you know, that's Uber, in it? Yeah, next on the show, though, I'd say an embarrassing fine for a Wellington, woman. I would have just I would have paid the fine, I reckon. I would have paid the fine rather than everybody knowing this about me. Play. Z-M's

Fletchbourne and Haley. I saw the story over the weekend and I thought if this was me, I'd just pay the $85. Yeah. Because I wouldn't want people knowing I went to McDonald's three times in a day. Breakfast luncheon? No. Free meals. It could have been worse.

It could have been five. It could have been smoker and afternoon tea as well. It's not even that bad, to be honest. this is a woman called Bridie Phillips she has gone public after she went to McDonald's drive-through three times and received a fine for $85 a parking ticket because they had accused her of parking

pretty much all day because they've taken the first time she uses driver plate license plate recognition software so it took the first time and the last time she was there entering and exiting the car park. My gym's got this recently, and when you go into the gym,

you have to put your number plate in. So that it kind of cancels it out of the system? So it's like, yeah, you get four hours versus one. Right. But it's not making a distinction between the drive-thru and the car park. So other people have come forward and said this has happened to them as well.

Right. So she said, you know, it's quite common, obviously, for busy mums to go through. The first time she went through, she was taking, she took her daughter through later she took her son through and an exchange student

so they were buying different things each time so she wasn't getting breakfast lunch and dinner wink wink wink let's get affidavits from all of them again I just I just take it like I wouldn't want people don't go went through a drive through three times of one day but so she's kind of come out and said

look this isn't on and rightly so yeah right it's also other people have come through saying yeah we went through a couple of times and they've pinged me for parking there all day. Who is running the show? Because I don't get how... How does it not distinguish the drive-thru?

I don't know. They've said that it doesn't record the drive-thru. It's just the in and out of the... The drive-thru, and whatever she ordered, they're like, can you just park in and park and bring it out to you? Is that how it worked? Because then she stopped. But in the drive-thru, you don't stop.

Yeah, I don't know, because other people have come out and said they went in at, like, 10... Someone said, I went through at 10 past 9 for a coffee in the morning and then the dinner visit at 6.13 and it thinks they stayed the whole time because it's not making the distinction. Does anybody else feel a secret

shame when they have to park in the you know they're like oh it's going to take a little while if you want to park in the thing? Oh because you've ordered so much. Well no it's not. Sometimes it's not. It's just whatever you've ordered Oh because you've taken the pickles out. Something like that. Yeah. Or you know you filial fish. Bit of pickle shame or something. Yeah, and so they parked you in that park

and you might have to sit there and people drove past judging you. Yeah, like, how much have you ordered? But at least you're not holding up the line. I like when they do that. Well, anyway, McDonald's spokesperson has said that the parking is monitored to ensure parks are not misused and they're going to look into it. Apparently, it's had monitored car parking for some years.

Parking enforcement services of Wilson parking introduced the new systems. Right. So it's not actually Maccas that does it. It's like another point. another place. So, yeah, they're sorting it out. But how much admin to follow that up

and get it wiped? I just would have... Hopefully, you get a little free cheesy pleaser or something. That'd be nice. There's something in it for you. A free Sunday. Totally. Just park it on the street next time, maybe.

ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. So the macrons are going to court. Now, this is... This is wild. I even think it's wild. It's been entertained. Or acknowledged. but a right-wing influencer

Candice Owens is they are launching a defamation suit against this right-wing influencer because they are saying that she promoted her belief that Brigitte who's French so I think it's Brigitte Brigitte Macron

was born male right okay yep which like they're saying she's saying I wasn't but even to give it air

seems in the insane, but it's 2025, so what's insane anymore? There are no facts. There's no facts. There's no facts. Nothing's too insane. Everything is palatable to some weird section of the internet. So, they are going to court, and as part of the defamation

suit, they are suing, rowing influencer, Candace Owens. They will present photographic and scientific evidence to a US court that she was born a woman. So what are they just going to take photos of her genitals, and then put them in a little folder? Scientific evidence, to me,

there's tests, there'd be like hormonal tests, there'd be medical records. Yep, pictures of boobies. But then photographic evidence says to me, it's just going to be a straight up photo of the... Of the... Of the Fudgema. Yeah. That's what? Maybe a video

and she just... She moves around, shows it from the angles, I don't know. This is how insane. I love that they're actually calling her out and they're doing this. Because otherwise people just save the stuff and they get away with it. And then it sticks. But there's also that level of Do you even acknowledge it?

Like when someone says something wild and incorrect about you, is it worth giving the trolls the time of day? But then if it's affecting their life, I don't know, but then they're going to prove it, and I just don't know. But then this can be a great way of, I mean, would you go through with this if you're going to get a big payout from it?

That's what I'm, that's what I was trying to find in this article, like how much money's on the line. Quite often sometimes people don't even want the money. They'll just do it for a dollar or something. Yeah. Just to donate the money to, charity exactly yeah yeah wow could you imagine being on that jury duty they're like do you reckon

it'll be it'll be a full jury i don't know would it be situation or a judge judy yeah well do you think the court system so busy they've um outsourced that's you know what they don't they moan about new zealand court's being like quite backlogged yeah maybe that's what they should start doing perhaps is outsourced to some we can make some tv shows some afternoon tv shows yeah with the like with this on the lighter end of things yeah yeah oh you're just like shoplifting stuff not murder and stuff no no no no just your light petty light crimes maybe some neighborhood disputes yeah I'm um I can't find how much money that because that's the thing that defamation is illegal like they're saying you defamed us yeah so we want we want this much well I mean that maybe

they just want the court ruling but I mean the money would probably be nice as well it's 22 counts of defamation as well in the in the US wow Yeah, so it's a lot of money. That's starting to add up. Wow, that's going to be an interesting court case to follow. Yeah. I mean, what's just show? Well, wait, what's the photos?

What's the, hey, here's my vagina? That's kind of done, right? Yeah, but wait, isn't it all public? Would all the evidence be then public? So everyone's going to see a foo-foo? Like, is that on public record or something? I don't know, I don't know. I'd probably show.

I'd probably show my foo public record for millions of dollars. The information a million bucks each, $22 million. You just want Powerball for showing every year for China. Totally, I'm doing that right now. Play ZDM's, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley. Man in Canada has shared the news that his daughter failed her. I guess their equivalent of a learners. Is that where you, no, sit your exam?

Like practical exam. Restricted. So their version of like a restricted test where you go out with a driver, someone from the testing station. Right, yeah. And she's failed that exam because she was driving. this man's Tesla, Daddy's Tesla. And she didn't use the brakes once.

Because I've never driven a Tesla. I've been in them before. They've got funny door handles. Yes. And massive iPad screens. Uh-huh. But I've never driven one. But apparently it is possible for you to use regenerative braking

where the vehicle's electric motor is reversed and it slows down the vehicle to a stop. So if you're coming up to a stop or a giveaway, it would just do it for you. It would scan the traffic ahead. Because I've driven cars with adaptive cruise control. Yes. And that will keep you a certain distance from the car in front of you. And if they break, you break.

Is that why when we were on the motorway at the weekend? Yeah. The car was just like me, me, me, man, man. And the car in front went a hang on the brake. And then we were coming up behind. And the ranger was like, I'm also breaking. I'm just going to sound an alarm to let you know that the person in front of us has break quite a.

We're all just like, what? Shouldn't you have noticed that? Adaptive cruise control. It takes care of it. It noticed it first. But yeah, when it's the person in front of you absolutely pits the brakes. Yeah. Yeah.

So apparently, yeah, this guy's daughter failed because she never used the brakes on the Tesla. And so I googled this in New Zealand and Australian forums. People are asking the same questions. Right. And yes, you can take a Tesla for a test, a driver's license test in New Zealand and Australia. but you've got to use it you've got to use the break like that's what people are saying

we're back in our day you did it in a manual and you were a higher class you were a higher class yeah I did mine on a drive and I'm correct if I'm wrong if you only ever did an automatic it's set on your license back in the day

that you got to drive automatic but I don't think it does now because automatics are like 95% of cars and 98% yeah But yeah, that's what they're saying Like lots of people on Facebook groups in Ozzy saying They just need to feel that little bump when you break

Right Although that was, I feel like in our day that was bad as well You had a turkey break You want to ease into it You want to have a nice smooth stop Sounds to mean like driving instructors Just want whatever they don't have Yeah

You know the classic grass is always greener I remember when they had to break themselves But back in the day It would be great if something break for them But then this dad said Like it's pretty frustrating Because his argument is She should have passed

his daughter in the Tesla because she's in control of the car even though the car was doing the braking she's like you know what I mean she still has to drive the car I don't know if I buy that I don't know if I buy that dad

dad just doesn't have to pay for the second one because she's going to get a like a beat up Honda for her first car and come up to the lights and just probably not straight through that she's like why didn't that car stop my Honda my Honda won't break itself play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Haley

Play ZDM's Flashworn and Haley We go now to the producer's booth Where Shannon you've stumbled across somewhere And then it is undeniably true Yeah, real science Here we go Yep Here we go

Here we go So get your fist Thumb weighs up Like do a thumbs up Like you're hitchhiking Like your hitchhiking Left or right Doesn't matter

Okay Okay Now I want you to put that towards your face Yep And mush your thumb onto your nose and then you will notice all four of your knuckles line up perfectly with your side profile. You'll feel the first one go between your nose and your lips,

then over your lips, into the concave of it, and then back out to your chin. But I feel like it does that because the knuckles are the harder thing, so the softer parts mould to the harder thing. No, you're not punching yourself. You're just lightly pressing, and you'll feel... But what's the point of this? It just feels like...

Science. But what do you mean? You're saying it's a remarkable piece of nature that our knuckles match our profile. You know how your arm is your length? Like how your arm's... Your wingspan is your height. Yeah.

But should your nose be exactly where your thumb is? Like, is it the perfect? But then that's the thing. That's a changeable angle. Yeah, that's... It's more about the knuckles as opposed to the nose. I'm just using the nose as a guide. Okay.

But is it not incredible. No, not really. I honestly think there's more about it being the soft part. Fitting around the hard part. Everyone, 9-6-9-6 try it right now. Tell me how you go. Not as you're driving. Please don't make some crashes.

Just one hand sand safely. So the middle finger goes like sort of between the lips. Yeah. Okay, so that finger there, that does fit between the nose and the other. Actually, I'm just looking now that's a perfect fit. Isn't, look at me go. Is mine? No, look, I've got more lip.

You're doing too much lip? Look, I've got like heaps of lip there. Yeah, but no, it sits between the bottom of the nose and the start of the lip. Then the next one sits across the lip. You're not going to believe this. I saw it on TikTok. Oh, Jesus Christ. All these artists have come out saying that this is how they draw a side profile.

Like, get the scale right. They'll get their scale right by going off their own knuckles. Crazy no one has texted. Oh, it's school holidays. Everyone's having to sleep. Crazy, crazy. Crazy no one's missing. Everyone try this today and have a great day and enjoy science.

Yeah, thanks for wasting our time. Thank you. Play ZM's Bletchbourne and Haley From your local community Facebook page This is the Top Six Oh you get on, mate Top Six issues with UberEats drone delivery They're trialling this in some areas

I mean, I've seen in cities when I've been overseas in California, had them little, like, robot things on wheels. Oh, dude, those are funny ass. What are those called in L.A? Crazy, yeah.

Little gizmos, and they just drive around and they get there and you've got the pin, so you go, peep, bo, bo, and it goes, it opens, and then he takes off home. I know, they're wild. What are those robots? When they get there, they message you, and you go out and get your food. But when they're not being used, they're just hanging around the

Oh, yeah.

Big, horrible, loud Australians. You know, we all know one of them. Oh, yeah. You hear them overseas. Yeah. You hear them everywhere. And so they fly past my house. I'll get the drone up amongst them.

And they like, they swoop on it and stuff. Do they? Yeah, yeah. And then one of those drones with like, um, flying throws. Yeah. It's a roasted cockatoo. Imagine that just flying through the air and just spinning it on. Take it amazing.

Number four on the list of the, top six issues with Uber Eats drone delivery. Drones will get lost in one of those drone light shows with all of its drone pals. Oh, yeah. They'll just be flying. It'll be like, oh no, they're doing the Star Wars light show over Disney, like, without me, and join it.

And then when they finally finish, and they're like, thanks to the dance guys. Yeah. They're like, oh, no, I had a job to do, and they deliver your food, and it's cold. It's cold. Yeah, yeah. I wonder how, oh, no, because it'd be like thermally,

thermally insulated? Thermally insulated. Yeah. The containers and stuff. Yeah, it'll be like a polystyrene. you go at height, it's going to be a lot cooler. Yeah, and just the fact that it's whizzing through the air. Yeah.

It's not sitting on your passenger seat. Huh. Put the seat warmer on. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six issues with Uber Eid's drone delivery, 100% going to spill your drink. Oh, 100%. I'm a human.

It's designed for me to carry. I still spill the drink. Yeah. A little rough plop into the cup holder. Bibush. You're going to have to be like little 600 mill bottles of coke, okay. They're not going to be able to do. Yeah, they're not going to be able to.

But they're just going to arrive first. Or like if it goes to altitude, why did it expand? Yeah, it'll push right out and then you'll open it and it'll fizz everywhere. Tap it. Number two on the list of the top six issues with Uber E's drone delivery are the drone will get caught flying through a small space carrying a comically long pizza. You know, the medium-wide pizzas and it's like, I'll just fly through this little gap. Pong, it's like, oh, I need to go through sideways, turns sideways.

Buz gets through. Imagine it? A comically long pizza. Yeah, that would be funny. They have to be transported too. and number one on the list of the top six issues with Uber Eats drone delivery. Drones will 100% eat all your chips

as a chip tax on the way you want. Oh 100%. And they'll be like, but I ordered chips and the drone will be like, chip tax. Also have you seen those like they have them in like armies have purchased them now

and some stadiums have them as well. They just point and they are like electromagnetically pulse the drone or something like that. I've seen airport videos of airports just been. And they just go... Hey, don't they have them over the Harbour Bridge in Auckland?

Is that a thing? It feels like they did. It feels like they brought a drone down once or something? Yeah, I think so. But like, I was... Do you imagine all the people that will steal the Uber Eats and drones? Because they see an Uber Eats drone or a food delivery drone and they bring it down, steal the food.

Imagine that. That's sad. Yeah. There are no official drone EMPs related to the Auckland Hubbard Bridge, but you are prohibited from... But they totally took down. They totally... I feel it was a news story.

They totally took down a drone over the bridge once. They did, eh? Visit a find after drone lands on the harbour bridge. That was 2017. That's early days. Dron footage? No, that's not... No, they definitely took a...

God, are we something like conspiracy theorists now? No, I'm sure they did. They took it down. They took down the drone. Play Z-M's Fletchbourne and Haley. Taylor Swift, the Taylor Swift money-making machine continues. And I believe she's released. a movie? Well, it's not a movie, but...

It's in movie cinemas. It's coming to movie cinemas. It's almost like, if you are a fan, you'll know what I'm talking about, but a secret session. Secret sessions were when Taylor used to invite fans to her house under secret guys and then be like, here's my entire album before anyone else. That's kind of what she's doing with these launch parties. They're coming to cinemas and they are coming to New Zealand, guys, because it was announced and it just seemed like it was the US classic international fans always miss out. They're coming to New Zealand. I've seen on the events website and the Hoyt's website that it's there.

You can't buy tickets yet. But I think they should be on sale Tuesday. That's usually when the cinemas like put out their tickets, right? Okay. And what you go along and she's like, here's a clip. The music video. A music video. And then she also mentioned that there's going to be like lyric videos for all the other songs.

So I imagine that we're just going to sit down and watch the entire album. Wow. Okay. Yeah. So these tickets are going to go fast. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is just going to be the swiftly energy of all of us getting together.

We're going to dress up and we're going to have a good time and not let men tell us that we're silly. Tea. I wasn't saying now. I didn't say once you were silly. We're just going to see all these videos on TikTok of like when the girls got excited for the eras tour, but then all the men got excited for chicken jockey and Minecraft. And there was a real of like what was acceptable as a society. But, yeah, you know, she's come out saying that dancing is encouraged while you watch this. So I think it's going to be a real eras tour vibe for the girlies.

Right. How many screenings are like listed and stuff? Is it just one? No, they haven't listed how many there are going to be per day. But it's technically in America going from the third to the fifth, which would be the fourth to the sixth for us. But like, are people going on a Monday? I don't know.

We could go after the show, guys. Oh, I know you want to come. Which is a book of tickets. Monday. Monday 6. Monday. It has bought a real concert energy for us to specifically. We were like, okay, well, we're going to have to plan exactly what time we want to aim to go see it

because we're going to go in a ticket queue and we've got to prepare what show we want to go to. It is quite funny how intense this is that we're just going to a cinema to watch music. What time of the day are you planning? Well, we're still trying to figure that out. You're going to go popcorn? Yeah. Chop top. Always.

But see, I'm kind of. kind of thinking like a late Arvo night would be nice to have a little champagne. Have a quaint. Maybe go for a meal before or after. If I'm going, I'm getting all my snacks from the supermarket and sneaking them in. I'm not paying movie prices.

Ridiculous. Yeah, honestly, it's ridiculous. Are the ticket prices more for Taylor Swift? Again, no information on that. I imagine not. I think when we went to see the errors to a movie in cinemas, it was like normal pricing. Right, okay.

Or they did like a deal, like you could get a glass of shampas with your ticket, so it was like, A little bit more. Okay. You know what? I'll pay whatever. Yeah. Cheaper than the concert.

That's what I was going to say. They could like double the prices and the Swifties will pay. Totally. So there was a package deal of a Shampas and a Taylor. They need to do more package deals for movies. Totally. You're going to go see like the new John Wick. It's a John work.

And a ninja star. Yeah. And you can check the Ninja Star at the movie screen. You're allowed to throw the Ninja Star at one stage. I'm not going to that. You're allowed to go to once. Now this is the different. between men and women?

We want ninja stars. All we want is ninja stars. Play Z-M's Fletchborn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Somebody shared on TikTok the Old Navy dressing where Old Navy's like a clothing store, a chain in America. Why is it called Old Name?

I don't know what you'd like in it to. I don't know, it's just the label's name. I don't know what you'd like in it to here. But Hallenstein's is called Halenstines because it was started by the Halenstein's, Yeah, and Old Navy was started by... Was it Old Navy clothes after... Maybe?

I could ask Chat. No, you can. You can't ask chat? You can't. You took up a little carbon dioxide for the show? Well, yeah, every search. I'll ask Chat. Why is Old Navy called Old Navy?

Mm-hmm. Old Navy, a 1994 Gap wanted to launch a cheaper, more accessible clothing chain than its main brand. The original working name was Gap Warehouse. That just sounds like a warehouse full of gaps between things, that doesn't it? And so they went, a Gap executive sort of at a bar in Paris called Old Navy Cafe and thought the name had the right ring to it. They took the name for the new stores. Boo! I wanted it to be old Navy clothes.

Well, it wasn't. Boo. Well, they've, I guess, launched AI changing rooms. And basically you go in there with, you pick out like whatever, t-shirts, jeans, whatever you want to try on. You go in and it scans or knows what clothes you've got. And then the screen in the changing room. will give you, like, the different fits. Other things to go with it,

accessories and stuff. Or does it scan your body and show you what you look like without actually putting it on? Well, I don't know, because as soon as she walks in and puts the clothes there, it knows automatically, whether it's RFI tags or whatever. Yeah, I reckon is those tags. It's those tags.

And then it just basically, you can shuttle through and try different options, and then if you want to try something else, different sizes. And then it will alert the assistant to bring you the 32. Yes. Because I, nothing's better than, how are you going in there? Is she going to need a size down? Crying.

Oh, no, other way. The fitting's all out. It's supposed to be in 32. Yeah, I think your sizes are wrong. Yeah, your size are wrong. Yeah. I'm going to need a 34, but I'm definitely a 32. Last time was a 32.

Yeah. So, I don't know. This is my average. It feels like there's a camera in there, though, watching you. Like, it feels like, it feels like there's a camera in there. And who gets to see you? My average changing room experience is go to rack, pick a size 32 or side 34 or size 36, take them all in.

Try the 34 first because it's in the middle. And that's kind of where I said. Yep. And if it's baggy, 32. If it's too tight, 36, grab one, say to the, I don't want these two, that one, see you later. They're like, you can get two of these for like 10 more dollars. I'll be like, sweet.

We'll get me a blue one or a black one, whatever the opposite of it was like, and it's gone. Do you know what? I reckon this would be a good sell a little pole. Do you guys, when you try on heaps of clothes, do you leave them in the changing rooms? and walk out, or do you go and put them back? Of course. I don't put them back. Or do you put them to the person that's at the front?

I'm like, I don't want these, but these I do. But there's always a massive pile. Do you put them back on the hangars? No. Or do you just get them to them? No, I'm no good. Because I don't do the hangers right. I don't know how they do pants.

But I hate when you go to grab something and you can tell someone's tried it on and put it back and they've done a horrible job. Ever put it on, ever put on like a jeans and they've been a little bit warm? Oh, that's a personal problem. Okay. Like they've tried them on, they've walked around in them, they've kind of stunked them up a little bit. How quickly have you put these jeans on?

Literally I think I must have hung them up and then I walk into the store, do-do-do, do, do, pick it up, put it on. And then you're like, these aren't hanging cold. Yeah, they're pre-worned. Was there something residual in there? No, there was no residue. Okay.

No, it was just residual heat, yes. There was a remaining heat from the bodic crotch area. Yeah. But then that also makes me think how much dead skin cells are on the end. This has been a grim morning. I just made my breakfast. What are you having?

Yogat and Special K. Special K, otherwise I don't as dead, big dead skin cells. Also, just a minor update. Just went to the female bathroom. Our shelf's back. You've got a shelf. We've got a shelf now. Wow, we've all got shelves in the toilet.

A little handbag shelf. Yeah, you can put out of man bags. No, it's not big enough for a man bag. We've got hooks, though. We need a hook. We've got hooks. We should have hooks in that. I thought we had hooks.

You're on the back of the stall, you would. No. Because I have to put my jacket on the ground when I do what I do. pose at work. Why are you taking a grimmer and grimmer? Why are you taking your jacket off? If I'm at home, sometimes I'll take the t-shirt off the purse. Bourne.

Because it's like working out. Born. Calvin's got to eat a special K. Also, why are you still eating special K? What is it, 1992 and you're my mum? Play Z-M's Fletch Fawn and Haley. Fletch Fawn and Haley. Silly little pole.

Silly little poe. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that the silly little A question for those in long-term relationships in silly little poll today. When was the last time you had an adult fun times? We gave you the options. A, in the last two days. B, within the last week. C, it's been a few weeks. D, more than a month. With obviously the same person, right? Yeah.

Well, you're in a long-term relationship. It was implied, but not stated. It was implied, but it wasn't stated. When is the last time you had adult fun times? The most popular result is in the last two days. Wow. We asked this on the weekend. Yeah, we did.

Could have been Friday night, Saturday night. Yeah, true. Could have been Saturday morning, Sunday morning, just before church, of course. Also, what did we class as a long-term relationship? That's what I was thinking. It would be interesting to know. If we'd said, 10 years plus. Yeah, 10 years plus or 5 years plus.

Yeah. So the second most probably, was 26% within the last week. More than a month was at 23% and it's been a few weeks, 19. Pretty even spread across the board from 32 to 19, you know, sitting there around, yeah. Huh.

Well, should we hit some feedback? Yeah, let's do it. Let's have some feedback. Rebecca said, honestly, we schedule it. It takes so much pressure out of the relationship just up to three times a week. Just up to three times a week minimum. Doesn't that like schedule?

It feels so unschedule it. Is it always like Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or do you go like every second day? So it changes because of the seven day week. So you go Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. But then what if you're feeling it and it's not one of your days? Bonus. Bonus day. Powerball.

Yeah. Powerball, bonus ball. A couple of balls. Anyway, moving on to the next one. I've lost my appliance. I got a little bit carried away. Carried away with the Powerball, didn't you? Alexandra said,

had a baby. Going to be a long time before my husband's welcome down there. Yeah, okay. Right. That's kind of fair enough. Another Rebecca, we live in Europe and it's just been too hot.

Oh, yeah. I know people in Europe and that. More active than ever. The problem is, you're in Europe and everyone's hot. So everyone's a bit like. So the weather's hot, the people are hot. Yeah.

Sweatiness. Yeah. Sweaty bodies. Rubbing together. Powerball. A couple of Powerballs. We've got a big Powerball over in Europe. Got a big Powerball.

away like a billion dollars. A couple of power balls on the Eiffel Tower, if you know what I mean. Yeah, you can get amongst it. Sam, said, been to get the five years and just broke our longest dry spell of eight days. Oh, wow. Eight days after five years, that's pretty good.

That's the longest time over five years is eight days. That's pretty amazing. Because you'd think it would be... I mean, it's a common problem that people have in a common complaint that people have in long-term relationships. Yes. Is that they don't get it enough? Joe, Joe said, I get up at 16 when the toddler wakes

and the husband likes to stay up late. After the toddler goes to bed, I go to the gym, cook dinner, and do all the housework and the husband games. There's no time romance is dead. I would say, to be honest, it sounds like husband needs to pick up

one of those. Maybe while you're cooking dinner, he could do the housework. Yeah. Then there's time. Then there's going to be a gap before you're too tired and go to bed. There's going to be a little window,

make it to live, quick cuddle, little smooch. Of course you post quite a wee and shower. Yeah, it's vital. You know, no one wants you're in a retract infection. And then he can game and you can sleep. I'm not here to solve your problems, but I will do it.

Sounds like you just solved their problems. I just solve your problem, Joe. And it'll only cost you $1,000. Also, like, he's playing games. Get off your game, dude. Why not do you? Yeah. Is she keen, though?

She didn't sound keen at any stage in that. Oh, yeah, no, maybe she's just stating facts. Yeah. Juliet says, I'm doing long distance at the moment. If satisfy a pro two counts, then I change my vote to the last two days. I mean, we'll accept it. Yeah, yeah, I'll accept it. Also, how do you do that, eh?

You've got to have a... You turn it on and then I think you just get on. I meant the long term... Put it on your bits. I meant the long term relationship. The long distance, long term. Yeah, that's tough. Please keep this anonymous.

It's been six years, and I have no idea why. I've stopped trying to initiate because the rejections have made myself a self-esteem tank. I've tried to talk to me about it and never wants to talk about it and says it isn't a problem. Oh, that's a problem. If it's a problem, if it's your problem, it's a joint problem. Yeah, that's not good. I don't have a $1,000 solution on the spot for this one.

That sounds like a go-to-counseling thing. Yes, yeah, definitely. It's definitely a problem. Or try something. Try. A little romantic way. But imagine if you booked a little romantic weekend away in one of those cute Airbnb. You know, we're talking.

And then you get there and he's just like, okay, good night. You're just like, oh, my goodness. Oh, God. This is how affairs happen. No, I'd say, I'd say admission to the weekend is, you know, there's sign this contract. Oh, okay, yep. Mummy's getting some.

Right. Okay. Mommy wants her treats. Yeah. Do you have to go through a lawyer for that or what? Yeah, I'm going to get it legally. Okay, great. He wanted to have adult fun times before the Warriors versus Panthers game,

and I said no, because I wanted to have an app. Oh, and then afterwards they lost. And then, of course, no man can get up after a Warriors' defeat. No man's in the mood. Man's after the mood after that. Yeah. God. Yeah. All blacks, black ferns, warriors, a few losses on the trots.

Oh, yeah, bud. If you're boner as sports dependent, I'd say it's pretty tough going at the moment. Twice in the last two days, baby. I'm literally on fire! Wow. Good stuff. Yeah, it's great. Great average.

Again, that's like a one-year relationship, hey? Bron. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that's not a 10 year, surely not. Might be. for the uh, for the, uh, uh, unflow. Yeah.

Plus the two alternate weeks, he's not here. We're got to make the most of the days we're in the same city. Yeah, nice. But we're going to make the most of the days we're in the same city and not bleeding. I mean, totally. I can't disagree with that. Yeah, great way with words. Two kids, uh, under two, the only heavy breathing in this house is from the teething baby.

Oh, yep. Yep. That baby's not going to be teething forever, though. Yeah. It's going to have a full set of teeth one day and you're going to be able to go back to making life. And, um, uh, Natalie said in the last day, Because have you ever had sex? What a fantastic way to end the day.

It's fantastic. It is a great way to start the day. Yeah. And end the day. I'd say right in the middle of the day, too. I'd drive a wedge in the day for it. Yeah, absolutely. It's just a great way to pass some time, you know?

We're all on here on this bit of rock hurtling through space. Yeah. You know? Why not? Why not? So silly little poll today, we said if you're in a long-term relationship, when was the last time you had adult fun times? And 32% of you, the most popular response was in the last two days.

Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Well, South Island, it's a bit of a telling off for you because there is a problem. Does the South Island need a spack? They need a little, a smack, a smack. Well, no, you're not allowed to smack the South Island anymore. I ain't allowed to smack to South Island anymore. Or the North Island. All the kids.

You're allowed to smack Stewart Island, though. Because he's into it. Yeah, Stuart Island's naughty. Stuart Island is not. So the number of pet turtles that have been found in waterways across the South Island is increasing. And there are concerns that there are... Establish a world God damn it

It's more the impact They have on native plants And other animals That's what I'm saying If they're established Because you know who did this Pablo Escobar With the hippopotas

He imported like a zoo I mean it was one of the world's richest people Yeah Imported all these animals Exotic animals And then when it all went Excuse the term tits up for him It did

And by tits up him And shot dead on a rooftop Yeah And Bogota Median Median And when they came to They didn't know what to do.

They just opened the thing and let them out. And these hippos established like this colony. And they're not even native to. It's wild. And so, yeah, big problems there. But the South Island's only dedicated turtle rescue service, who knew that was a thing or is even needed, is already at capacity.

It has taken in more than 100 strays in the last eight years. The weirdest part about the turtle rescue unit is a giant rat man. Right. And the turtle unit is in a karate dojo. Yeah. I'm thinking. And then ninja turtles, are they? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's training them and he's kind of like, he keeps pouring different chemicals on them hoping to sort of mutate them. Yeah. So apparently the problem is that people get these turtles as pets. And then they're like, this is still alive or it's boring or it's too hard. Yeah. Or whatever. And then they just go out into the...

Just set them free. Set them free. And turtles live forever. Yeah. Are there are the reasons why turtles are bad pets, according to chat chivete. Okay. Salmonella risk. Huh.

Sat they carry salmonella. Oh, do they? And not the dub, not the good point. No, not the Fafreddy's drop either. So you're handling them, you've got to be super careful with your hygiene. Special habitats, they require large aquariums or outdoor ponds. Well, in New Zealand, you shouldn't be having them in an outdoor pond because they'll escapey. Temperature control, they need proper heating.

Otherwise, they get sick. They get shell rot. They get weak bones. They get infections. There's going to be filtration. And they live a long time. That's the thing people forget about our shalternate as well If it gets cold enough, yeah, they go

Yeah And people think they're dead So they bury them And then months later the turtle's like You buried me live! Yeah, horrible Yeah Didn't Colin, doesn't your mum have or had a turtle?

Yeah, she still does. She still does. What's the name? Grace. Terrible name for a turtle. Grace Jones, hello. She's not a turtle, you can't say she's a turtle. But it's our last name, it makes sense.

Grace Jones. Our last name is Jones. Why is it not clicking people? Well, I would have gone Casey Jones because he was associated with the Ninja Turtles. That's just off the top of my head right there. We don't know who the Ninja Turtles are. You don't know who the Ninja Turtles.

Every generation has had an iteration of the Ninja Turtles from 1987 till now. Doesn't mean every single person's watched it. Anyways, this is... But you're familiar with the Ninja Turtles. This is going nowhere born. Okay, yeah. Yes.

So we have a turtle, her name is Grace. Honestly, she's been in our lives pre-me even being born. Wow. Oh, yeah. How old is this turtle? I would honestly, say like 30. Is it a dry turtle or does it have a aquatic

habitat? What do you mean as opposed to a wet turtle? Do you know what? There's wet turtles and dry turtles. She lives outdoors she lives in one of those seashell kids paddling pools. It's buried into the ground and filled with water. And she never leaves. Nah. She's got, oh, there's like a little fence around her, but she

wouldn't even try. She's over 30. She's just chilling. She's just chilling. She's just a millennial turtle. You can tell because she's got a side part. Your mom got this turtle because somebody didn't want it? Oh, mum's just text me, 37. 37?

Wow. Oh, my God. This was basically a rescue turtle as well, wasn't it? Yeah, so my mum's sister, my auntie. Have you ever slept with someone older than Carlin's turtle fletch? Yes. You have, yes. Really? Yes.

Yuck. Thanks. Yuck. Oh, my God. We should use that as the litmus test from now on. Are you older than a turtle? Yeah, yeah. than Cowan's Mung's turtle. Before Grace and after Grace.

B-G. A-G. A-G. So, yes. How did she end up with it? She ended up with Grace after my auntie was being, what are you trying? Difficult. No, no.

She was being wooed, courted by a man and he said, here, have a turtle. Not knowing that my auntie didn't want a turtle. Wait, did he buy the turtle or was he sick of the turtle as well? I don't know actually how he came to get the turtle. But my mum is the animal one out of the two sisters And so she was like, I'll take the turtle Probably not realising that we were still going to have A 37 year commitment?

Yeah. That's crazy. This is why people are getting rid of them. So your mum's, you know, and this is what we wanted to talk about this morning. How did you end up with a pet? What series of events led you to be the pet's new parents? Parents always get the kid's pets. They move out of home, they get a dog or a cat,

and then they move home and then the parents are like, no, he's not leaving. Yeah, yeah. That or they get a dog and then they're like, I've decided to do by OE. And the parents are like, what about the dog? Well, here's the good news. You've got a dog now. You've got a dog now. You've got a dog now.

Yeah. Or maybe in a relationship you broke up and the cat liked you more so you got the cat. Yeah. Or maybe you were in a flat and the people who owned the cat moved out and the cat was just like, cats don't move. I just stay here. Yeah. I'm a flat cat.

Or maybe the neighbor's cat like you more and now it's your cat. This is what we want to know this morning. Maybe like me last weekend, you wake up and there are four cows on your lawn and you're like, how the f did you get here eventually we found the person that owned these cows but they'd just gone for a walk and decided my lord looked the luscious I would have quickly put one of those in my freezer

dude it was on the list it was like what do you mean for cows there was only ever three well this isn't how did a pet end up in your freezer this is how did a pet end up in your life oh 800 dollars in them would love to take your call now we want to know how you ended up with a pet

maybe because somebody couldn't handle the pet like everybody getting rid of these turtles in the South Island. It's bad. It's bad news. Turtles are for life. Well, pets are for life as well. Yeah.

And people forget this, don't they? But some pets have shorter lives than others. Yeah. You know. Some messages in on people that did it. I fostered five kittens and their mum. We ended up keeping four kittens. This is the fostering thing.

How do you give up a beautiful, like, dog? I couldn't do that because I'd just be like, oh, this one's real cute and it's friendly and it's cuddly. I'll just keep it. I'd do it all the time. Mm. So I went out for a girly brunch with my besties and left my husband with the kids and an errand list.

When I came home, I couldn't get through the front door because there were so many boxes for an aquarium for a bearded dragon. He had acquired a bearded dragon. No consultation, no consultation. That's how I ended up with a bearded dragon. Amy, how did you end up with a pet? Morning, guys.

We brought a little farm. Let's big aspirations, but zero money. That's actually the farm let motto. Big aspirations, zero money. We did manage to pick up two kittook to 50 bucks. So they were our starters, but we had good friends who moved up north and decided to give us as a wedding present, quote, unquote, three sheep and a ram. So you've got like endless sheep now because that's how it works.

Oh, don't they just multiply constantly? They multiply, but you've got to be careful those little ones don't mate with their. Dad, because then you get mutant sheep that could kill us all. Yeah, get mutant mints as well. You don't want to be that mutin-mints tachos? Yeah. Yeah, Mitten Minsts tachos.

Great wedding present, though, Amy, or not? No. Is there regret there? Maybe you've got to, like, share them and catch them and fly them and all that. Yeah, that's why people don't recognize these cute animals. They take a little maintenance. Yeah, Amy, thank you. Taylor.

How did you end up with a pet? Morning. Good morning. Good morning. So I was in a vet clinic And we get lots of things dropped in all the time And one day some lady bought in a box And it had this turtle in it

We didn't really know what to do with it So we kind of put it in a cat lit a box with some water And we found the owners And they said that they didn't want it anymore Because it kept escaping So How do you do When you work at a vets

People, do they just abandon animals? Quite recently Quite, yeah, quite a lot, yeah. Wow, that's crazy, that's going to be so frustrating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then we have to find them homes, but, yeah, so no, we had this turtle. No one know what to do with it. And I sent a picture to my dad, and he said, oh, well, my cousin had a turtle when he was growing up and fell in love with this turtle. So I took it home, and now, yeah, he has it, and it's home.

And now you love the turtle. Yeah. All because it was abandoned. What kind of turtle was? Did you know what the turtles I don't like, Taylor? I'm like, I don't know, Fletch, your opinion on, the long-necked turtles are yuck. Oh, yeah, because it's like, they look like there are snakes pretending to be a turtle. Like a snake's wearing a turtle shell?

Yeah, like, it's like, I'm going to trick them all because I'm on a lover more because I'm a snake. I'm going to pretend to be a turtle. Taylor, thanks. Asking now how you ended up with a pet, because people are abandoning turtles in the South Island. Heaps of them. And they're no good for the waterways. Yeah, they're no good. Some messages in on how you ended up with a pet.

I got a kitten at six weeks old when I was flating. Mom came to visit and yelled, you know I'm going to end up with this cat. Fast forward 13 years. I've got my own place, but my cat still lives with my mum. Oh. Found my cat in a plastic rubbish bin.

When she was three days old, she'd been wrapped in a plastic bag and thrown out hood and her and meo and the rest of history. She's eight this year. How can people do that? I know, it's terrible. How can people do it because plastic bags are hard to come by these days? Yeah, like, where do they get the...

We did they get the plastic bag from? That was dark. It was dark. Ten years ago, my parents were given a 50-year-old turtle. So now, by my math, that's a 60-year-old turtle. Yeah. It was a friend of theirs and lived at their business, but when it had to shut down,

they needed somewhere for it to go. The business was a massage parlor. I bet this turtle's seen some things. Dude, that turtle, that turtle is shell-shocked. Do you think it... Yeah. Good from you. Good from you.

The T and PTSD stands for Turtle, yeah. When I was at vet school, a cat turned up in our doorstep and never left. I think she knew I was at Vest School. Yeah. Husband's ex said, you can take the dog, while I looked for a new house. That was three years ago.

The dog's still here. Definitely prefers us. Also, I recently received a kitten via a cat distribution service. By that, I mean it traveled 17 kilometers inside a cherry picker at husband's work and then had nowhere to go

and we were just waiting for it to leave and it never has. That's yours now? My ex bought me a rabbit. It was left at the front door in a brown box. The ex proceeded to dump me about a month later.

The rabbit must have been a pity present. It turned out to be a feral brat. Bit my mum one day, so mum made me rehome the pet. The rabbit. Okay. So now, see, the better story would be if the person who now has that rabbit

from the rehoming rang in. Yeah. I told us their story. You're texting. My daughter was a vet student in Palmer's the North, rescued a motherless lamb. I lived with her wearing nappies inside.

Didn't want her eat in. We had to drive there from Queenstown to dog crate at home. And now it's chops. What? I don't think it's, oh, it's not, that's not how it ended. I don't think it was delicious,

delicious mint lamb chops. My husband, we didn't. up with an alpaca. No. Oh. Husband was pissed off We didn't have enough grass but now his best friend

is an alpaca. Really? I don't look friendly. Those would be re-homes so much because people buy them because they look cute and then they're like

oh, pain. And they scream and they sound like those monkeys off the second Hunger Games movie. Yes. Yeah. Like haunting to wake up to.

Play Zem's Fletchbourne and Haley. Play Zed M's Fletchhorn and Haley. George is in. Georgia does the day show. Kowda, Kowda. Big news, Georgia. Vaughn Smith

This is, This is wild that Vaude is so excited for a music festival. You wouldn't have caught Vaughan dead at a music festival in the last 10 years. I was trying to think the last music festival I went to was probably the big day out of Western Springs at the start of 24th.

You've gone to concerts though, but just not a festival. Yeah, but by the end of that, the social battery depleted. Yeah, I was in front of you at Duel Lever and I could just see. I could see the old. I was having a great time at Duel Leper, but at the end came, I was ready for home. I was ready for time. I was tired. It was late.

It's a big day for Vaughan. Big dates. So the news now that one of your favorite artists, Chaparone, we'll play at Laneway. Presails tomorrow, by the way. All those details at ZM Online. You're going to come with the group to Laneway. This is incredible.

We thought we thought we could get. you some Gen Z festival help me. I was thinking should I go Genzy mustache as well. Ditch the bed because you know Gen Z love a mustache. They do, yeah. Mustache. The big thing is, is the micro-short, so the little short wear a little cheeks out and a high

boot. High boot, and I could wear my stets in for the guys? I could wear my stets in. Am I wearing a mesh singlet with nipple covers on? You could do like the black duct tape, you know, like a bit over the nipples. With a mesh. Micro short, maybe a cheater print,

dare I say. Cowboy boot. What about some big fishnet stocks? Yeah. Underneath that, like, ripped a little bit because it's hot girl summer. You're honestly starting to sound like that picture of Patrick Starr from Spongeball. Yeah. That or post Malone in his early days.

You need to come to Dangerfield with me. I'll see you up in my harness. I've walked past Dangerfield. What an interesting mix of clothing. Should we do a video where we dress you up for a festival? For Laneway. Yeah. And it could be like, you know, those secret, you know, we did one recently,

Fletch folded a piece of paper into three and he drew the head and Haley drew the body and I drew the legs. You each get a segment. Oh my goodness. Bags the ass. Oh, actually, that's so in a row. That's inappropriate.

On the phone, HR, emergency, emergency. I just, I know some micro shorts would do you good. I reckon bloomers. Yeah. Blooms are in at the moment. The bloomer's in. Yeah, the little bubble boomer shorts.

Yeah. Wow. I'm just excited to see Vaughn at a music festival. Yeah. It's just going to be incredible to watch. I don't reckon you'll make Chambal roads. Can I wear fun air plugs? Yes, you can.

Yes, you can. You'll get you some proper ones that is nuzzle in there so it doesn't look weird. I was going to say, I don't want to over here once. Fluro orange. Can I take my iPad and just play Roblox in the corner? There'll be no reception, babe. It's a festival.

You can't message anyone. And the thing is this as well is we have to work the morning of Laneway, so we're going to have been up since 4 a.m. And Chappell probably won't come on in tour. about nine or ten. Yeah, we're going to need some no-dose. Throwback. That'll be it.

Throwback. Throwback to study. Yeah. We need some no-dose. It's going to be a long day. But then the next day is a day off in a long weekend. But also my daughter's 14th birthday, so dad can't turn up in his ripped up. You're still in your miss shirt.

Happy birthday. Oh my God, Parker in the corner, dad. Oh, my God, Dad. Some embarrassing. Is your dad okay? No, he's not. He hasn't been for a while. Play ZM, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.

Well, thanks to TikTok and social media, Gen Z has become aware, and they have become nostalgic for waterbeds. Huh? The nostalgic bedroom item from the 80s and 90s, when they were most popular. I remember growing up, some friends' parents had them, and I think maybe someone I knew in the early 2000s had one as a joke. or the late 90s maybe?

I feel like the people who had water beds probably also, like, got into swinging. It just felt they had some sexual desires that were just outside of the traditional. And I'm like, yeah, they're yuck there, yom. For those that don't know, it was basically a bed base, I guess it was a... But it had to have sides, right?

Yes. It was a rubber bladder inside a heavily sided bed. And then you would put your sheets over. Yes. And then you'd move? Yes. Like, I remember getting on some and you'd be like, oh, this would be weird to sleep.

Surely it's not good for your back. So the earliest known is from 3.5,000 BC in Persia. They would make water beds out of goat skins filled with water laid in the sun to warm because it got cold overnight. Oh. So they'd warm up during the day and the water would hold the temperature. Some water beds would also do that. Yes.

Yeah, my uncle had a waterbed growing up and it had an electric blanket function sort of thing. Right. Oh, no, that's a bit gross. So then in 1833, a Scottish physician invented a hydrostatic bed, which is basically a wooded bed to reduce bed soles in the sick. Right. Because it moved, the pressure wouldn't be on the same part of the body the entire time. Oh, so if you were always in bed.

The shoulders, the back, yeah, they're bed soles and stuff. And then a guy in 1968 kind of took it as liquid support for human bodies. And in the 70s and 80s, just due to marketing, the bed of the sexual revolution. Waterbeds were linked to free love and counterculture cool. I'm always like tossing and turning, though. Like, I'll always change from sleeping on my stomach to my side and... And it would slosh.

And so every time, yeah, yeah. It's like sleeping on a giant wine cooler. Yeah, later. Yeah, basically. So they made up 20% of all mattress sales in the late 1980s in the US. Millions were sold every year. Wow. A waterbeds.

But the practical problems were when you filled up a Kingsdise waterbed, It weighed like for every liter of water that was in there It was a KG of course So it could weigh up to a ton How many people had accidents where the bladder would Split? A tiny puncture meant soggy carpets and angry They were energy hungry because they needed heaters to stay comfortable

Otherwise they get really cold in winter And they were quite expensive to heat that water And keep it heated And then people got motion sickness too If they bought one about trying it Well because you get motion sickness on boats Yeah So you'd be no good

I don't know. I've never really slept. You'd have to take a sea legs every night before bed. Now, our Gen Z's, do you feel this nostalgia for the waterbed? My parents had one until about 2015. What? Are you serious? Yeah, and it was so cool. They had the, like, cool one with the electric. And so every night they'd be like, turn on the waterbed.

They would heat it up. Was it left over from the 80s or 90s? You know what? It just was my whole life. They always had a waterbed. Because I've just, no, I've just Googled. Just Google it. Ali Express. Get out of town.

Ali Express, Ali Express, $1,146. Although the other ones, there's a waterbed here, and I know Max's 100% waveless waterbed. How? Just under $10,000. And then there's something for two and a half, $2,300. As a kid, it was so fun, but there were strict rules about the waterbed. No bouncing.

I remember my uncle's being cool, but it was only because you weren't allowed on it. And it was that forbidden thing. It's like when there's a locked room at your grandparents' house and you're like, what's in there? They're like, none of your business. And you're like, I must. It was so cool.

Yeah, but like whenever we would be allowed in, it was like, it was a real water in one. And when we moved, it was like such a mixture move. Because some of these mattresses that you can buy that are water, waveless water mattresses, look like it's a mattress

full of a whole kind of a lot of technology and foams and stuff. And you put water in, maybe? What? But like... I don't know. Oh, that's what somebody said. The bladder was full of foam rubber and there waterbed growing up

and you just filled it up with water. Right. So there was a little bit of support. So that's maybe the wave listening. But if you're getting a waterbed, why do you want it to not move? Just get a normal bed then. Yeah, true. Yeah.

Here's some feedback. Okay. Some feedback on the text machine. Morning. Waterbed great. Warm and winter. Great for Powerball, but cool in summer. No resistance when pushing down.

Not so much fun for fun times. Mate filled it up before Realising he couldn't open the closet door And then asked him to be moved And then I had to drain it Yeah And a cat once junk cats Oh yeah

Cats are kneading on the thing Making their biscuits Yeah Floors go through Um So surely Wait There are people listening now

That actually have Like Um Somebody said This is nuts We had to help dad Burp the waterbed Oh yes

We had to do that What They would Every so often air would build up They get gas Yeah, it was like a gas. I remember, I don't know how, but I remember we would have to open it and just

let a little bit out. Where's the valve in one of the top corners? Yeah, it was in like, by the pillow. Oh, you wouldn't want that under your arm? I don't know if I could have it. I wonder if I could have it? I wonder what happened. No, I don't, well, you can't even fit a couch in your apartment. That's an east of open landfill. Also, I guess it's probably a bit weird to sleep in your parents' marital

bed, right? Your parents' marital water bed as well. You know what they've done in there. Yeah. And Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do-d-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do-do. Well, I'm this week's Factor of Day theme is units of measurements specific to an item. I was going to do wine today, but I might say that for when Haley's back.

She'd love that. I think she'd really like the wine. Well, she's back tomorrow. She's back tomorrow. Well, I might switch Tuesdays for Monday. Okay, lovely. Today's fact of the day is about the specific unit of measurements for butter. For example, a furkin of butter.

A furkin? Would you like to buy a furkin of butter, sir? How much is a furkin? 25 kilograms. Now, what does butter go for? 8 or 9? 8 or 9, that's for a 500 grammer. Yeah.

So that would mean there would be 50. And a furkin. So you're looking at $400 for a furcan of butter. Jeez. And that's at $8. That's cheap butter. Who would buy a furcan? a grosser's or a back in the day.

It was sort of like the butter trade. So it was a Dutch. It meant a fourth part. It was a quarter of a barrel. Okay. It comes from verdurikon. I speak fluent Dutch as you've just seen here. And so verdurikorn and the Dutch is a Dutch people going around.

Ferdurikud. Do you know what? I want to try that thing with the AirPods because I've just installed iOS 26. Yeah. So I want to try that. Okay. Well, let's get a professional after the show. I was going to wait until one of my friends comes around

that speaks a different language Just to, I don't know Just to try it out in private rather than We could go to a massage We could go to a massage place and get a couple's massage Oh my God and hear what they're saying about us Just have my earpods in Bootylicious bodies

But if you If you put your earpods in his life translate You start crying, I don't want to know Yeah Unless they're like Oh I can't believe I got this stud And you get to rub the stud Then I want to another fat white guy

Oh, I can hear that. I can know what you're saying now. Yeah. At what minute into the 60-minute massage is you're going to ask me to finish him off? Disgusting. So a firkin of butter is about 25 kilograms of butter because it was standardised. Because it was such a well-known way of trading butter. It was a quarter of a barrel of butter from the Dutch, from the Dutch.

So then it became 25 kilograms or about 56 pounds of butter. And so they would get that around. That's not the only unit of measurement specific to butter. A garn of butter is also... How much is that? The word garner comes from to garner to kind of collect to store.

And a garner of butter would be 3.6 kilograms of butter. So again, a good chunk of butter that would cost you a pretty penny. A pretty penny. So that's more of the size of your bakers, as you said, your bakers would go to the market and buy a garn of butter.

rather than a furgeon of butter. That's the problem when you do baking at home. You realize how much stuff you put in, like how much butter, how much sugar. You're like, oh, this isn't good. Is it, though? I mean, it's delicious. Don't get me wrong.

But, you know, when you just get it from the bakery, you don't see how it's made, so you don't know? Yeah, but you can see when you put it in the takeaway brown bag and that becomes translucent. From all the oil, yeah, you know. You can't assume it's maybe got a furkin of butter involved in it. So today's fact of the day, in our specific units of measurement

for a specific item. We dealt with butter and we learnt butter comes in a furkin and a garne. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. A do-d-d-do-do-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-dood-do do-dood-do do-do do-do do-do do-do do-do do-do do do do do do do do do do do do.

Play Z-M's, Fletchvorn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchvorn and Haley. I want to take some calls now and text. When did you not get the thanks that you think you deserve? Maybe you went out of your way for a friend or did something for someone and you were like, oh, I don't really acknowledge it. Right. Maybe a gift.

Yeah, a little thank you gift. Maybe a little thank you. Maybe you didn't even get a thank you. And the reason we talk about this is because a doctor, and I believe the girls, you will know this guy, the botched. This is the botched doctor. I know a little bit of botched. Terry Dubrow

Dubrow Dubrow Didn't he also do the show where they took away ugly people and did surgery on them and brought them back and they were like Tadda you're gorgeous now you're pig Back in like that like beautiful

era of 2000s TV shows When it was like Yeah And the start of the show was like Look at this buck tooth classes wearing minga We're going to drop $100,000 worth of some of the most invasive surgery known to man

Yeah They should do a follow up called. That would be a great doco. The American one was called the Swan because it was like the ugly duckling, the story about the ugly darkling and they'd come back the swan. Yeah, he was on that before he was on botched, and now he fixed botched plastic surgery. Right.

Well, Dr. Terry was out with his wife Heather, who is also a reality star? Yeah, she's on Real House House of Orange County, one of my favourite. Yes, and they were in Beverly Hills eating at Mr. Chow on Thursday night. Mr. Chow? Yeah. I'm going to look that up. That sounds like a menu

that I would like to. like A-Z and Fusing, we do things a little different. Mr. Chow spout? Well, just as you'd spell chow. C-H-O-W. Yeah, yeah. And this is in Hollywood. It's in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills. So he went out on Thursday night, and apparently a woman

choked on her food in the restaurant, and he saved her life. Hey, well done. Is there a doctor in the room? And he was, he was there. And then he's like to breast implant. And then he's like, oh, these could do it with the left. Yeah. And he's doing the heimlich? Yeah, come and see me next week. And anyway, so something was stuck in her throat.

He did the Heimlich maneuver and got that out and saved this woman's life from choking. And he said that, I guess he was asked about this a couple of days later when it came to, like, TMZ and the news's attention. And he said, oh, I didn't even, like, the woman didn't even pay for my meal or the restaurant didn't even offer me a free dinner, you know? Like, he had to pay his dinner bill. And he's like, I mean, I don't think he cares. I don't think he cares. He's not like, doesn't he? $125 American

per guest for first seating at 6pm if you want to go at the 9pm seating it's $250 per person just to set menu which sounds okay but you can only get a choice of glazed prawns with walnuts Mr Chal Noodles chicken satay

filet mignon and Welsh scallion water dumpling that's your first course and your second course get a choice of fresh live lobster with ginger mar mignon sauteed sea bass with truffle or velvet chicken that's a too

And then the one they describe is, of course you would. Of course you're going to get for the chicken dish. I don't want to kill a lobster. No, Rour wants to get it out of the tank. Is that what that means? Is that when you get it out of time? I think so.

So then you get a, the dessert is for petite array, a sort of dessert. Yeah, this sounds like one of those places you're getting tight. But everyone's on an ozempick over there anyway, so you don't need big amounts of food, do you? I was going to say,

I just looked at where it is on the map. In and out, it's not too far. Oh, yeah, go for in and out on the way home. Yum. Yeah, $250 a purse. I know. So he's like, he's like, the restaurant didn't even, like, give him, like, a discount or anything for saving this woman's life. He was on the clock. They should have given him something. Yeah, it should be in the Hippocratic Oath. I will not share rules about each other. I will save people and get free lunch. Like, it just feels like a part of the game.

Well, this is what we want to. It's a $900 dinner. And that doesn't include drinks. Okay, so maybe he was like a bit like a grieve that they didn't at least give him a discount for saving one of their diners lives. Well, this is what we wanted to ask this morning. O800 dials at him. You can text. as well, 9-696, when did you not get the thanks you deserved? Maybe you expected a gift, maybe you went over and above at work, and you didn't even get a thanks or an... If we know one thing, we can never go above and be on at work. No, like, what is it, will you do the minimum?

Yeah. What's that term for it? That Gen Z, we just ticking your boxes. Yeah, you don't do anybody else's work. Okay, 0,800-Darles at Emerson number 9-696, when did you not get the thanks you deserve? You want to know now why you didn't get the thanks you deserved, because a doctor saved a woman's life.

This is Dr Terry from the reality show botched. Yeah, didn't get anything. Well, he didn't get a free lunch. Yeah. When he saved, maybe the person whose life he saved would have been like, I'll get yours. Yeah. I mean, I don't think he really cares.

I've just been doing some calculations. This would have to do one hell of a meal. Two people, $900, one jack. I mean, it's Hollywood, Vaugh, and the prices are... That's ridiculous. insane. So when did you not get the thanks you deserve Tristan? Good morning. Good morning y'all. When did you not get the thanks you deserved? So this is like I'd say 10 years ago. I was about 16. Yep. And my little brother and I were doing yard work outside our house and my brother

accidentally was cutting weeds by the AC unit and he cut the power line to the AC just completely cutting off all the air conditioning in the middle of a Texas summer, so it was super hot. Yep. And I was able to come and splice the wire and strip it back and fix it, and saving my dad, like, thousands of dollars in repairs. And he didn't say thanks. He didn't say anything. He didn't acknowledge it at all. You guys broke it, though.

No, his brother broke it. I wasn't the one who broke it. Yeah. The brother, yeah, the brother broke it. Yeah. Yeah, you should have got the thanks. He thought he was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to have like an electrician. or an AC guy come out and I was like oh I know how to fix it and so I did it

and I'm always looking forward to a teenager fiddling with something that could electrocute them Well the camera was out Yeah if you're like Dad I can fix that I'd be like

I don't like you that much sure knock yourself And then he doesn't even say thanks I think it's all lining up Dad didn't really like his kids That's crazy Tristan Thank you so much Eva when did you not get the thanks

you deserved First of all, long-time listeners I was just been feeling one of these is on the horizon all day. You're going to ring the bell. Correct to ring the bell and thank you for the part of the show. So when did you not get the thanks you deserved? So it was about three years ago. I had just had my first child.

That was all beautiful and amazing. And then Mother's Day rolled around and my partner completely forgot and didn't give me anything. Wow, how many days? I mean, you wouldn't still hold on to that and then bring that up now, would you? No, of course not.

Yeah. Yeah, also. How many days was he in the dog box? Quite a few, I think. How many days is in three years? Over a thousand. When it gets over a thousand, we stopped counting. Yeah, yeah.

He's run out of fingers. I think he's got like a toe out now. Did he remember? this year's Mother's Day? Of course he did. He'll never forget one again. He'll never forget ever again. He'll never forget ever again.

Eva, thank you. Some messages in. Not that I do it for praise, but I mowed the neighbour's berm yesterday. She turned up and didn't even say thank you. So that's where I'll be taking my dog to do a dump. You know, but sometimes though I just, if I had a berm in the neighbours,

sometimes neighbours stop the mow. I know, it looks bad. It looks so bad. And if it's just a little bit, just do it for them. Just do their berm. Yeah. But then some people don't want... Some people don't want other people mowing their lawns.

If you're doing a good job, do it. Yeah. If you're not, don't. Yeah. Some other messages of when you didn't get thanks. Somebody left their cash in the ATM on Lantam K, Lampon K, a massive stack of cash. I chased them down to give them the cash. They didn't even say thank you.

Not even say thank you. I would have given you a $20 back. Yeah, I would have said thank you an offer to $20. A $20 backer. And I wouldn't accept the $20 if that was me. Yeah. I worked at the same job 14 years, didn't get any

acknowledgement at the 10 year anniversary and when I resigned, it's zero recognition about my effort in time that I've been given a company. And that brings us back to the sayings we were looking for. It's called acting your wage. Oh, okay. If you're at a work, you're not going above and beyond, you're acting your wage.

You do what it takes and what's in your job description for your wage, but you act your wage. Well, keep your text coming in, 9-6, 9-6, not your shoes size. You did a little good deed, and all it is is a thanks. So, what's the story? And you know what, that's all it takes. People are not even asking for, like, a gift or anything, just a thank you. A little juicy, juicy situation here to start.

I'm a doctor, helped out on a domestic Air New Zealand flight with a medical emergency. They gave me a note from the captain saying they would provide legal cover if I got sued. I didn't, so did the, what? What? Did you have to do something controversial? Oh, like that thing on the movies where they put a pen in your throat so you can breathe. Or maybe a green in New Zealand lolly. was sucked somewhere and they were

Oh no, that's what you're saying That's why they needed the tracheotomy Yeah, maybe, maybe they swine the lolly hole A lodged lolly Lollie here Yeah But wait, did they get a thank you? Just a note saying

No one will get sued No one will get sued. 20 years ago I was working in Auckland In a radio show Let's call it Smithie and Carl Had a producer of a sort With a bird problem as a chimney Chang Hung's been called out here I think

Do you think so? As a chimney sweep, I met the producer at his house, fixed it all up, he didn't even say thanks. Oh, that way, we would not have known about that. On his behalf, say, thank you. 20 years later, thank you very much. Yes, thank you very much. And also, is there much work now for chimney sweeps given the popularity of heat pumps?

Yes, that's true. Well, no, I love it. People love a fire, though, don't they? They love a fire. I think you've got to get it cleaned every season, don't you? It wouldn't have also, wouldn't have been hard for him just to get a free Britney Spears CD from work to give that tommy sweep. we would have had Alephunk CDs from the black-oed peas Willie Nilly.

So many black-eyed P CDs. So many black-eyed P CDs. That is a real shame. We're going on the back catalogue pre-Furgy as well, probably. Andrea. In fact, I'd like to give that person a prize from 2004. A black-hide piece, uh, alifunk CD. What a great prize.

I don't think Elefunk came out to all. No, we've just promised a prize. He's not going to get a prize in now. He's going to complain 20 years later. Oh, we've got to find something that's 20 years old. Right. Because you know my mum still has the mug that we made, the promo mug. Oh, yeah.

2004. Great mug with our faces on it. But probably he'll see Chang on there and he'd be traumatised at the time that he didn't get thanks. Andrea, when did you not get the thanks you deserved? Well, hi guys. Years ago, I was working as a very hard-working waitress to put myself through university. Yep. And the owner of the restaurant had been in with a group of people.

And when I was clearing the table and wiping the seats and everything after they'd gone, I found a lot of money sort of wedged in the chair. A lot of money. $600. Wow. Bearing in mind that I'm quite old, so this was back in the late 80s. So $600 to a student then.

Would have bought a house. We'd have bought a house. Yeah, in Gray Lynn. Yeah, totally. Hearnbae Mansion. Yeah. Yeah. So I handed the money in because I was honest.

I handed the money to the manager, but I kind of thought he might go, that's really cool that the struggling student has been honest. He'd flicked me 50 or 100 or something like that. And all I got back was that they'd given it to the owner and he said, oh, yes, it just fell out of my pocket. And that's it, nothing.

Bullshit. Nothing. That's a lie. I reckon that's a lie. Yeah. Nothing. You expect at least something, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Just even a thank you would have been really not. Yeah, exactly. And that's why we always keep the money we find now, isn't it, Andrea? That's why, honestly, is certainly not the best policy. Andrea, thank you some messages in to finish. I moved country for my very best friend of 30 years because she was going through a really bad breakup

and had a few health issues. Did I get thanks? No, in fact, we fell out and I ended up coming back home again and she has since blocked me. Sounds like she was the problem all along. She might have been the problem. Yeah. Because you know the old saying,

made an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole, meet them all day. You're the assholes. Exactly, yeah. It's a great, it's a great saying, and it fits every time. It really does. When didn't you get a thanks?

I painted my grandfather's fence. I paid for the paint and painted at the end of job. All he said was, yep, looks good. Oh, no. I would have come back in the middle of the night and I'd have tagged it, tagged it, yeah. Get back into my tagging roots. Bloom, I would have written Bloom on it.

Yeah, because Vaughn Smith is bloomed. I am Blume. Oh, I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well, that means the show's backwards then, isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well, should we speak in reverse, and hopefully they'll work out the other way?

Give us a review. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
