All thanks to Neon, so listen up with the Activator, if you want to get through and play the top six as well on the way. Yeah, the CEO of Nestle. One of the world's biggest companies, surely.

The umbrella company, everything under it is insane. He's lost his job because of his sexual fraternizing. What do you think? salary was, it would be like enormous, and the bonuses. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and he's apparently slept with a younger subordinate? Subordinate.

Approximately $11.9 million US dollars in 2023. I mean, he'll be okay, right? He'll be fine. I want to know, you know, lifestyle creep. Yeah.

You know lifestyle creep. You know lifestyle creep. You're living payday to payday when you're earning about $24 million New Zealand dollars. Man. Yeah. Yeah, the top six dealing with this. Well, the top six things he'll miss out on now that he's not Nestle, CEO.

Next on the show, though, what it means if you walk around your home naked? That's me. Yeah, I'll do it every now and again. Every now and again. Oh, you sleep nude. I sleep nude. Well, what it means, there's been some research. Play ZM's Flashborn and Haley.

Researchers at a university in the US have looked at what it means to walk around your home naked. Oh, it's just freedom. It's complete an adult freedom, isn't it? And they have found, they believe that people that walk around nude have a higher IQ,

more intelligent. Yeah, that lines up. Lines up with my nude activities. Give me the link. Give me the link. Give me the link. What have they said? What is the link?

Well, the researchers believe the habit of walking around naked at home is tied to a higher IQ because it's associated with non-conformity as higher intelligence can lead, to a decreased need to conform and to societal norms to fit in. Because you're just like, I'm smart, I know everything,

don't worry about it. I don't even enclose on that smart. Yeah, my brain is my outfit. I love a little nude walk around. You know, I love a nude in the summer in the backyard, give the neighbours an absolute show. Well, your neighbours and tradies have seen it, haven't they? They've seen it all.

And it being the star player. Yeah, the foofa. The fooper, the foofa, they've seen it all. And I would say, I mean, I also guess it's, Hard if you've got flightmates. How do you have got kids? Yeah, well, the kids aren't there. I'll take the gym, get her off in the laundry, straight in the laundry machine.

Naked walk to the shower. Yeah, right. Nip around, hang up some towels. I'll walk around my apartment all the time. Well, I sleep nude. You do. But you've got big windows, and when you see people... You just don't care.

I just don't think the chances of someone peering in at that exact moment, minimal. Yeah. Not impossible, but minimal. You say minimal, but how many times have you seen people? nude people at the apartment. So many times. So many times. And people,

you just get oblivious to it. I sort of like it. Not in a... Oh, she's voyeuristic. Yeah, a little bit. I'm sort of like, well, it's your business. Do you know what I mean? If you see it, well,

your lucky day. You know what I mean? As opposed to feeling all embarrassed and shy. Yeah. Okay. Eight past six. I was to say my neighbours are kind of freshish.

They haven't copped it. They haven't copped it yet. They're still innocent. Yeah, they aren't. Their eyes have not been sullied. Play Z-M's, Fletch Vaughan and Haley. You, Gen Z, I'd love to get your opinion on this. You, young-ins.

We're not in our costumes anymore. You-l-l-l-l-oh. Now, this is a new term that they are calling Gen Z's in the workplace. Now, if I'm not incorrect, that's you. Yeah, yeah, just. Gen Z is going to just. Are you saying just Gen Z or this is just a workplace? Oh, I'm just saying we're barely Gen Z

because this morning I was saying that 6-7 was a dumb trend And now I feel about old Or what? What is it? Stop it, stop it, damn. You're getting old if you're not liking something Gen Alpha's doing. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. And you're like, I get it, it's just not good. It's stint. That's the first sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you've been called office frogs. He-he, he-he. And it's because

I'm about how ready you were to just like lead into the role. It's because typically I would say we've always had a focus on like a career ladder getting into a job, work your way up, get better and better, work your way to the top and climb that same career ladder. Whereas they're saying Gen Z is they're not and they're lily padding, their job hopping.

Oh yeah, okay. And so they're just bouncing from career to career from job to job, workplace to workplace and employers are becoming very aware of it and go, it's unreliable because you're likely to hop out of here quite quickly. to take away the lily pads

so they can't leave then they won't be able to then they'll drown they'll be drowning they'll be drowning in our workplace yeah

yeah waiting maybe this is where my like Gen Z doesn't exist because I've been at Zeta my entire career

in terms of post graduation yeah yeah what's that thing where the hostages become

Stockholm Stockholm's Stockholm yeah and it's a great one direction song yeah great

yeah great I didn't know they did it song, Stockholm syndrome. Mews does a Stockholm syndrome, so that's sort of a generational gap there. Okay, wow. Making a one direction and a muse thing. Yeah. Yeah, so you're

yeah, you're bucking the trend. I know lots of my friends do this. They're like, well, why would I stay to get like a 2% pay rise when I can jump to another company, get 10% and then go back to my old company and get another. So I've got friends who jump

between rival companies. But they're saying it's like giving, it's giving a big lack of loyalty that older employers are going, oh, that's not on. But then you're like, why don't owe you loyalty, I guess? You owe me money. You weren't going to pay me, so I'm going to know loyalty when there's the next restructure. It's interesting because I feel like I've heard that companies don't like that.

They don't look like looking at your CV and seeing that you've had six jobs in the last five years. Yes. You know what I mean? So then is it working for people? You're a mover and a shaker and you're not doing it. They're coming in and they're just, it's not. committal, basically. Yeah, right. And it's

putting people off. Just get that money. Who cares? Get that money. Yeah, totally. We're the ones who are actually chained to some ladder that we just got told that we had to sort of climb rung by rung. We're just ribbiting through life. You are just riveting through life. That's beautiful.

You need a t-shirt with a frog on it that she says, ah hey, I'm just out here ribbiting through life. Fuln and Haley. Fletch Fawn and Haley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Well, that's a very interesting map of the world, and it said,

these nations prefer coffee, and it was in dark green, and these nations prefer tea. and it was in a different colour to not dark green. And was it just England and Asia that was mostly tea? Oh, yeah, actually, yeah, of course. Because it doesn't need to be English tea. It could be, you know, green tea. Chinese, yeah, Chinese tea. So coffee was in Canada, America, and then, like, Colombia, Brazil,

and then, Madagascar, and then Madagascar, a couple of African nations, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, some parts of Europe, The rest of the world's tea. Okay. Greenland, Peru, Argentina, all of Africa. Argentina's tea over coffee. Argentina's tea over coffee.

That's fascinating. Russia, China, India, all of the Middle East. Okay. All tea versus coffee. Wow. Like grow up. Yeah. Go up and raw dogs some caffeine with quick release.

Yeah. And then need another one or you get a throbbing headache. I've actually been drinking a lot of peppermint tea recently. For your gut. Have you tried those peppermint pills I gave you? I have, but I keep forgetting... Have you tried after eight dinnaments? Yum.

Yum? They are so yum. I don't know if there's... A thin minty biscuit. Oh, minty thin. Love a minty biscuit. A little bit minty biscuit. Anybody for a minty biscuit?

Always, love, always. You can only pick one coffee or tea. Coffee at 72%. Yep. tea at a poultry 28% goodness let's read some feedback Sheldon says

None hot chocolate if I have to I got a couple of Macs just don't even drink hot anythings I just love coffee so much

I'm not passionate about it I'll have like one I'll probably have five a week yeah but it's pre this job you never had any I never had any

it sent me over the absolute fence we don't say that word we don't say that word Sorry. You were going to say the edge. And then I said fence. So put me over the fence.

I'm sorry, I've triggered the boys. Well, you know, we also used to work on a radio station called The Fence. Oh, I'm so sorry. We never made any, like, decision either way. That was the deal with that radio station. He's sitting on the fence. Sitting on the fence with Fletch and Vaughn we see. Right.

Well, I like, I like, who you're voting for you? You'd be like, oh, couldn't say, man. Couldn't say, right in the middle. Yeah. Where do you stand on that? Nah, not for me to say. Not for me. I see both sides.

You know? Nah, I don't know, mate, leave me out of this. So, but yeah, people who don't drink hot drinks at all. Wild. Wild and weird. Dan, see coffee all the way. How good is the house to yourself every morning, sorry, early morning coffee before the others are up? Although I lived in the UK, it was tea every 36 minutes.

That's too much tea. Every too much tea. It's a lot of water intake, though. That's good. Yeah. But, yeah. The tannins. But that's still got caffeine in it.

Yeah, it's more of a slow release caffeine, right? It's too much. But yeah, he's right. That when you're up before everybody else You make the coffee There's an air of superiority I'm a better person I'm up early

I'm having a distinguished brew I love a weekend coffee Oh what time do you call this? Coffee's in the pot Oh yeah You know It ate up Yeah

Francesca said Cup of tea on the couch In my fav mug Sometimes with a biscuit or two PJ's in the audio on It's a ritual Yeah that's beautiful Let me ask you something

About a cup of tea That I've recently learned Do you preheat the cup So that the tea stays longer Who is doing that? What are you talking about? It's a game changer. It's a game changer to pre-heating a cup.

No, it's a cocktail bar with bloody martini glasses in the freezer. Pre-freezing the... Yeah. I guess it's just the same. Yeah, it is. Makes no difference. I'm not doing that. It's like the water's already too boiling for a cup of tea.

Yeah, it's wild, eh? But it works. Everything just stays hotter for a little bit longer. It's too hot, though. I don't understand. It's already too hot. Amy said it's called spill the tea for a reason. No one wants to drink the tea.

We're spilling the tea. All right. Yeah, fair. Do you reckon the origins of the, like, spill the tea, it's over? You'd gossip over a cup of tea, eh? And it might be so shocking that you'd spill the tea. Yeah. Yeah, I reckon that's a fair assumption.

I'm actually ready for some shocking gossip. Really? Do you know what I mean? Okay. Something that's going to make me spill my tea? Goddney? No, so much. You too, got any?

So much. I'm ready for some shocking gossip. Kay said tea, but only green, herbal or fruit. Oh, yeah. A fruit tea. Yeah, I don't mind a berry tea before bed, you know, nice fruity tea. I don't get the fruity teas. There was that Christmas tea I really liked.

That was yum. Oh, right, with cinnamon and... Yeah, yeah. Star anus. Star anus. Yeah. Anus. Star anus.

I think we're saying that wrong. Nah, I checked. Star anus? Yeah, you check. You did a... It's because people's anus looks like a little star. Okay, so that's the stuff in mold wine and your Christmas minty, mince tarts. Spices.

You try spices. I'd be sad to see tea. you go, but coffee wins all the time, says Danny. It's going extinct, so we'll all be drinking tea soon. Boom. Some artificial coffee. Yeah, just shots. Jessica says, easiest choice in my life, I need coffee to live.

Rian, I take coffee any way I can. Hot, cold, milky, black, sweet or bitter, I love it all. Good. Buy coffee, yeah. That'd be a nightmare if you're like, do you want a coffee? Yeah, how do you have it? Anyway, you'd be like, no, no, no, no, no. Tell me how you want it.

Mine would be, like, black with a dash of milk, no sugar. Well, that's not black. No, but if they said anyway... You'd say just a dash of milk. Yeah. No, but if someone said to me, just however you do it, however you like, I would make it for them. Oh, that's how you would make it for them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If someone said, I'll just have a coffee or whatever, it's a black coffee with a dash of milk, no sugar. Okay. Did you just catch Herman in the eye and just remember how beautiful he is? It's so beautiful. He's a beautiful dog. It's a beautiful dog.

Alex says, Sophie's choice I can't pick. can't don't make me. You've got to. One of those kids is getting on the train and the other one's off to the bloody. Joanne, feel like I'm only, I'm the only 35 year old who doesn't drink coffee at this point. Also not that big on tea. I just drink a lot of water. Wow.

Okay, that's fascinating. It's also wasn't the poll for you, Joey. Yeah, a lot of people chime in on the polls with a non-option. With what, yeah, sorry. It's not silly little have your own personal opinion. We give me the option. What are you, too?

Cillittle, what do you think? Kim said coffee is a bloody laxative to me and also leads me with a very stinky breath. Well, there's, I've got a simple solution. Drink it when you're close to the shitter and brush your teeth afterwards. Well, I haven't even an eclipse mint. Yeah, a little mint will do you right.

Well, for Sill a little poll today, we said to you, hey guys, if you got only pick one out of tea or coffee, what would it be? And coffee won at 72%. Play ZM's, Fleshbourne and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Now, okay, can we bring the tone down, please? Okay.

We are celebrating fathers this weekend, but today we are mourning the loss of a Wellington icon, the city to see bridge, that crosses across from the square to the water. Which has got the big, the squares with the big fernball. Civic square. Yep. Got the fern ball.

You used to have the little walking finger guy where the museum is, not to pop up, but the art museum. Yep. And then it crosses across, to like the boat shed? To the boat shed? Yeah, the waterfront. Frankets Park, all that kind of stuff.

Yeah. Well, years ago, this may shock you in Wellington. It was deemed unearthquake safe, right? Because it was built in 1993, strengthened in 2011, but didn't cut standards, basically, after they went through it all with a fine-tooth comb

and went, we've got to start getting serious about the fact that Wellington exists on a fault line and everything's going to rumble-tumble. Everything's going to come. Don't worry about it. I reckon worry about it. I reckon, have you looked around and see some of the old buildings?

I reckon that's the least you worries. We said to one once that was like this building has to be demolished by 2027. I'm like, it seems weird. They're giving it a three-year leeway. Yeah, yeah. And they're like, oh, pull the bridge down. Yeah, pull it down.

This building, though, that big one better not happen in the next three years while we've given this building. It's leeway. Work certainly didn't book us in that hotel after that, didn't they? No.

So it goes over Drew Voice Key and the problem is if it was to collapse other than the danger to people that were on it, it's going to block a very important route for emergency services. Because if you were coming from one whole half of Wellington

to Wellington Hospital, that would be a pretty like key way of getting there. You know what I mean? If there was traffic on the motorway, that's how you do it. So it was deemed to be demolished, but the Wellington Civic Trust then put in a judicial review basically to the high court.

which yesterday has been dismissed. So the Civic Trust tried to say that, you know, basically the council hadn't done enough. They're not going to, the idea is they're not going to build another bridge, right? And that's what people are most upset about. Yes. Because it's such a quick way of walking over there, right? It's so going to do it all the time.

Yeah. So they were saying that the council hadn't done enough to, like, figure out whether or not it could be a repair. But the council was like, yes, we have. And the High Court was like, they have. Is that how they said it? They have. They have. They have.

So full repair was going to cost about $120 million. Partial repair 53.3. And the council was like, no. Well, they don't need it. Well, they don't need it. No, no. Just a pedestrian crossing underneath across your voice. That's it.

And it's like, because I think mostly because, one, it's cool. Like, it's like, it's easy and nice, but it's like a piece of art. You know, it was designed with an artist and a sculptor. They reckon it could be pulled down like as early as Friday. Friday's, like, if the trust, darling, darling. It doesn't put in a review, you know, another appeal. Appeal, thank you. Friday plans will start for the demolition and they'll get crack in.

I just shut the road and ram it. If an earthquake's going to bring it down. Isn't it? Just burn it, it's wood. That'd be fun to watch. It's literally made of driftwood. Yeah, just like soaking in petrol and burn it. And then use a bombing knocker on the end of a crime.

Yes. We'd be great in demolition. Well, we wouldn't be effing about. No. There'd be no effing and jeffin. Burn it. Bommi knock it. Also, this, the.

removal of this bridge, if it is knocked down on Friday, is a sad day for Haley because you have a fond very fond memories. Of this bridge. Yeah, it was Valentine's Day. Yeah. It was a rough year? 2006.

Wow. What a day. And my boyfriend and I, we went up to that bridge just outside of the park. Yeah. And we just did, yeah, we had some kisses. Kisses.

We were kisses, yeah. Right. And it's just a memory I'll hold fond, you know, for many years. And that, on that iconic bridge. It's quite public. Just tucked behind one of the beautiful sculptures as part of the... Right, okay, great. Yeah, just...

I'm really going to miss it. Just fond, fond memories, and I'm sure all Wellingtonians like myself, have fond memories on the City to Sea Bridge. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the top six. Well, hello there. Hello.

Nesley's CEO has lost his job and the accompanying 24 approximately million New Zealand dollar salary. Oh, gee. That would definitely be enough to get by and have butter each week. I think so. Yeah. I think so.

Apparently, Nestle, the Swiss food giant, has a whistleblowing channel that anybody can, it allows employees and external stakeholders to confidentially flag potential breaches of Nestle's principles and conflicts of interest, harassment or misconduct. Maybe we could use this whistleblowing.

a channel to complain about the downsizing of chocolate bars. Actually, yeah, too. Well, let's whistle blow that. Blow that whistle, bitch. That better be the whole music when you call the whistleblower hotline. Oh, no.

Internly, they're not. Well, I've got the top six things the Nestle CEO will miss most other than it's $24 million salary. Okay. Number six on the list, free, never-ending Milo. Oh, that's Nestle, isn't it? Yeah, you might get free Milo.

And almost a threatening manor, she's threatening the dodge. A sprawl always pays her debts, right? So I looked through and it mentioned that they got things from IRD. I went through my debts on there, nothing.

I'm paid up. I'm paid up. I'm an honest woman. And I said, I believe I've wrongfully been sent a letter. Then it's claimed that you're looking for me and I am that person. Yeah. And she said, oh, yeah. And I heard that.

I heard that before. Yeah. Spinny on. And I said, she said, oh yes, you. you have a fine here that you haven't paid. And I said, what's this for? Sacre blue. Sacre blue.

Not me. Uh-la-la. And she said, it's a unpaid speeding fine. And I was like, from what? And she said, I said, what's the number plate? And she was like, and she gave me my old number plate for my old car that I haven't had since the end of last year. Yeah. And.

Oh, God. Please tell me you got rid of your car properly. She said, please tell me. I got rid of my car properly. And I said, Well, like, this isn't possible because I don't have that car. I'm a Mazda Bacitor. I'm a Mazda Bacitor.

I've actually been gifted a car, hashtag, gifted, hashtag ad. And she said it was from March this year. And then I remembered, and we talked about this on air. Your mum! My bloody mother! Patsy got a ticket! Got the ticket. But didn't you pay that?

And never paid it. And then left the country, so abandoned, a crim on the run. Classic boomer, leaving a younger generation to pick up their mess. To pay for them. And said to me, oh, you better pay that because of course it was addressed to me because the car was still registered in my name at this time.

And I obviously didn't pay it. So this still feels like to me. Was there no like follow-up letter? Well, that probably was. Haley. You know, I said to her, I said to the woman on the phone, well, why haven't I received any letters about this?

And she looked up the file. She said, you've received three. Really? And she said, can I confirm your address? And I said yes. And she said, yes. These letters have been sent their address. I can send you copies of them.

They're all dated. Oh, my God. It was not, I hate when they've got evidence. I hate when someone's got evidence. God, I hate when it's stacked up against you. Like those photos of you in the bus lane, like, ah, and you're like, oh, that is me. Yeah. So what, have they added heaps of fees?

Yeah, they've added a bunch of fees. Oh, Modge. So what did it start out as, and what is it ended with? It started out as 60, and now it's 135. Wow. And have you talked to your mother about this? No, because actually really, I'm like, where does the problem lie? She did the crime.

She passed on the crime to me, and I adopted the crime, and I said, okay, I'll pay this. And then I did it. She's at least got to pay the original 60. Do you reckon, eh? She pays 60, I pay 75, yeah. Well, just ask her to amend the will so that you get that $60 at some stage. Sort of an extra. Actually, yeah, my brother's not seeing a dime of that.

He doesn't get a dime. This is how... Contest a will. Mum owed me $60 at time of death. And here's the paper trail from Modge. Yeah. I have to say, I watched a film. I'm unset on what show I want to watch. And I was going to hit Sopranos. And then we dropped an arrested development situation. I've resented a rest of development. Yeah. Season one, episode one. Oh, my. There's always money in the banana stand. There's always money in the banana stand.

One of the greatest TV comedies ever made. Yeah. Ever made. But I can't decide at the moment. I'd be watching Shameless, which is like a nice, easy watch, the American version, but... Oh, yeah, that rules.

Yesterday, my friend from Australia is staying, and they're making me watch just Australian goods, and I've got to tell you about this new film. It's a horror movie, which I immediately was like, no thanks. But it's called Bring Her Back. And it's got Sally Hawkins, who's a British actress in it, but she's playing Australian,

and I will say her accent, work is phenomenal. And I know that. Yeah, I know that, because mine's also phenomenal. Yeah. It's called Bring Her Back And it is You know when you watch a horror film But it's like

It's like And I'm not gonna say it's on this tier Because people are arguing It's the best film of all time But you know when you watch Parasite And you're like There's like kind of a horror film That is very like

Artistically done and well done And with like actual good writing And great characters and great performances Bring her back is that It's in cinemas at the moment in Australia But it's you can watch it online It's so good Do you know you talked about these Sopranos

That's non-stop. Non-stop. I just finished hostage on Netflix. That's one of the big shows at the moment. It's very good. It's very good. It's just a little five-parter. What are you watching at the moment?

Money Heist? Oh, yeah, I've finally on to Money Heist. I'm finally watching it. And I know producer Shannon is, You call it a comfort show? Yeah. That's weird. I'm watching this.

I was thinking last time I was watching it and I was like, this weird that this is a comfort show for Shannon. I've re-watched it multiple times. It's so good. Do you watch it in Spanish or do you watch it dubs? I dub because I crochet. She gives big dub in a day.

She gives me a sexy accents. Yeah, oh my God, the accents are sexy. When I dub a show, I always give myself a five-minute, like, tester period to get their vibes in their language, and then I'll swap. Right. So I can imagine the sexy accent.

Original sexy accent. Right, okay. But then be trashy with the dub. But there's also something else on Netflix, which you need to go and watch. It's going super viral on TikTok. It's currently number two in the world on Netflix. It's a documentary called Unknown Number, the High School Catfish. Now, I won't give it away, and I would recommend not Googling this before you watch it.

This keeps getting recommended to me. I thought about it. Yeah, so it's basically about a young girl and boy. They're a couple in high school. They're about 13, 14. And they get added to a group chat with someone who begins to cyber stalk them and cyber harass them. Very extreme case.

And you find out who it is in the documentary. But yeah, don't Google it first. Just watch it. It's an hour and a half and it's real good. Okay. Okay, good, good, good, good. And producer Carwin, what are you watching? Oh, that show was made by the same people that did Don't F with Cats.

Don't F with Cats. Remember that? And also Tinder Swindler. And they just released one about Jazzy. I forgot his last name Smalls, smalls Yes They just released on this week too

That's right And he's in it That doco Yeah And the people who did the beating up They have everyone involved in the crime Dussie Small Ed or whatever his name was Yeah yeah

Yeah good Can I give a shout out to a I heard a New Zealand accent on a show So did I I love hearing a New Zealand accent on a show It was Edina James's accent On Alien Earth Which is kind of the origin story of alien

the whole alien franchise. Edna played my sister once. I'm golden boy. Just hold on, I'm just looking at a picture of Edna. Just show me that photo? Like different mums or? Oh, adopted. We're lesbian mums.

So were you adopted? I mean, James Rolliston was our brother, so you do the math. Why? What happened here? I might have been a hue lighter. The milk man, the courier driver. Everyone looked at us with the two mums. It was like, and so you were birthed by the white mom, eh?

I was like, that's the storyline. That's the storyline. That we've gone. with hair. But Edna, she's amazing. Oh, she's so good in this. So, Brie Peters, who's a Kiwi actress, who's Winston's daughter. She was on Shorty. I think she keeps that

a secret. She was on that Australian film, Brug her back. She just popped up and I went, ah, got you. I love hearing a New Zealand accent. Carwini, what are you watching? You know what? I did a massive binge rewatch of sex in the city. I watched both the movies. Terrible movies.

They're really. Not necessarily to the story, you know, but I'm getting up to the finale of and just like that. And then it's done. It's been done, done. Yeah, and then Carrie Bradshaw is dead. Hey, what's the deal with hunting wives?

Apparently it's really good, but I haven't watched it myself. Everyone's talking about it. Terrible wig situation. Great, you've got me. But it's a reality show, I. No, no, no. On Netflix? I don't know.

Oh, you know, it's not. Is it TV and Z? I think it's both, actually. It's on both. A rare both. Yeah, right. A rare both. It's really good as well.

Netflix just announced they're putting their prices up again. Sophie trades New England for East Texas and Falls into a wealthy socialite's magnetic orbit. I saw it. I saw it. Is it the Kate Hudson? Is that the main?

No. No, Kate Hudson's the name one where she inherits the NBA family. Not all white born women look alike, Carmen. That is racist. Thank you, Flit. Unbelievable. Oh, it's Marlon Ackerman. Sure.

Anyways, the lead actress was like... Dude's my age, no. The lead actress was like, oh, we had a situation with the wig. We were like, we ordered this fancy one. It didn't fit. So we had to use bad ones until, and so you can see the progress of her wigs throughout the show. Right. Okay.

Well, lots for us to watch and binge. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. So we want to know how far you went to impress a crush. A girl shared on TikTok. She said, if you're down bad, it could be worse. I once told my situation ship that I won free NFL tickets. because I wanted to go on a trip with him. By the way, this is a lie.

Asked if you wanted to come, and I took him to a Seattle Seahawks game at 500 a ticket plus flights and an Airbnb spent $2,000 on him. Never told him that it was actually a lie. I told him I won the whole thing, and he ended it three days after we returned. Oh, my God.

Okay, you don't... So he only stayed with it for the free trip, by the same thing. But, like, why don't you just say you want a free dinner and then just pay for the dinner, you know? I know. Like, a free trip, that's like, that's... a big test immediately. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess you're going to know if you're like someone after a weekend away with them pretty quickly. But just the lie of it. Like how far, just be

like, he's going to think this is really cool. I'm like, oh my God, I just want this insane trip. Do you want to come? Like, because I'm so chill. I would never buy us a trip that's insane. So I want to know how far did you go to impress someone? Because you, people lie all the time about being into sports or active. I'm, oh my God, I love mountain biking. Oh my God, That's when you end up in hospital. That's when you end up in hospital. But what kind of bike do you ride? Oh man.

The mountain one? The one that... Two wheels? It's actually Germans. You probably won't actually recognise the brand. It's actually in the shop at the moment. So I guess if we were like hit the slopes, I have to go. I'll have to hire one.

The slopes are on and I'm already out. I'm already out. I love that. Okay, well maybe you've done this. Maybe you've kind of, I don't know, exaggerated some skills. Maybe you said you were into rock climbing. Yeah, yeah. And you were halfway up a mountain face and you were like, I don't know how I get down or up.

Yeah. Or you just did something insane to impress them. This is what we want to know. Oh my God, maybe you went out and just bought something insane, insanely expensive. Yeah. You bought something to impress them? Died your hair. 0,800 dials at him.

We'd love to hear your stories now. You can text through. 9-696. How far did you go to impress a crush? A woman lied and said she'd won a trip to an NFL game that cost her $2,000 when really she'd just simply booked and paid for it all. He left her three days later. Yeah, he's like, no, you're a bit much. Yeah, yeah.

I feel like he just knew she was a bit much. Yeah, yeah. Libby, what did you do to impress a date? So I was 15. Did he have any money? I was dating this dude. He was a bit older than me into skateboarding. And for his birthday, I borrowed $250 off my older brother.

Never paid a bat. And went to Kay Road to a vintage shop. and bought him this really old school 70s skateboard and he loved it and I was like yes I'm like the best girlfriend ever broke as but yeah we lasted about a year oh that's not bad a year I know Gilman's coming up on the show but how much was a skateboard because it's got to you've got to get a dollar a day out of that yeah it was about $250 okay it's about a dollar a day

if you donate a dollar a day a little boy after a year can buy a skateboard You can get a skateboarder. Where are you out on your skateboarding journey, Haley? You told us yesterday that's your next momentary infatuation. I mean, and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I've been watching a lot of videos of female skateboarders, and I believe we have actually reached out to someone who may be getting involved in coaching me to skateboard.

I'm looking at the gears, though. I can't wait to deal with you in a sling or in a cast. I've been broken a limb since I was a kid. Okay. And the bones just get strong and strong as you get older. Thank you, Libby. more messages. Things you did to impress a crush.

I pretended that I was into Jesus. Hey, haven't we all? Vaughn did that? Haven't we all? You'd like a church where they clap and they sing. And you're like, this better be worth it. I told my crush I liked him a lot when I didn't.

I only just to brag to my friend that I had a boyfriend. Oh my God, that's hilarious. But you must like the crush, right? I spent $200 on a merch from a gig where we went on a date. I didn't even like the band and the band ended up getting cancelled. So I wasn't even able to wear the merch. The band got cancelled. So also didn't get a relationship

out of it. What do you mean the band was cancelled? Oh, somebody in the band did something atrocious and lost profits. That's what I was thinking. That was immediately. If we can get 7-6-2, if you can just tell us, ask personally what band it was, I'm just going to message them back too because, you know, in the time they sent that message, they might have got out of the car. Oh, my God. I told

a fella I could motorcross ride. Oh, Jesus. No, no, no. And then he took me I crashed on the first hole and thought I'd broken both my legs while he went to get the car and trailer to pick me up I then realised my legs were totally fine but I made out that I was injured so I didn't look like such a twat

and I couldn't do it. Oh my God. I made a one-off TV ad I wrote the music. She didn't know it's me. I came out and said I have a ring for miss and I liked her a lot. What? Not quite sure. I reckon give that text a rewrite. No, you give it a re-read. No, you've missed

out some details that text. I made a one-off TV ad. I wrote the music. She didn't know it's me till part. I came out and I said, I have a ring for Miss. I liked her a lot long. Oh, well, it just sounds like, wasn't an engagement ad? I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. My sister bought a horse to impress a dude. Jesus, they're expensive. Yeah, they didn't work out, and now I'm left looking after her horse as well as my horse. Oh, goodness. I mean, once you've got one horse, you might as well have two. I'm up up from the money thing. About the Ford Falcons?

No, but car guys and girlies will appreciate this. I studied the difference between XW, X, Y, X, D, X, E, and X, F, Ford Falcons. Must have worked with me together for 21 years. X, Y, Falcons are my favourite falcons. Yeah, right. But if a girl came in and was like, X, Y, you're going to be crazy man, it's X, and you're like,

oh, my gosh, she knows. She's an eccee falcon, yeah, maybe. Yeah. I bet they'd be a duvee or a car seat cover. Yeah. Something easier. With a big falcon logo on it. A big Ford, yeah.

Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. Um, my friend took the day off work, went and got her hair and makeup done, bought a new outfit. Ubered into the city where her date picked her up for drinks and dinner, and she said, I've just come straight from work. So she spent the afternoon prepping, but she's like, this is just what you can expect me to look like every day. We call that false advertising.

We've all snuck out of bed in the morning and gone to the bathroom, brushed our teeth, put on some concealer, quaffed the hair and hop back into bed. Yeah, and you can tell because they smell like mouthwash. Yeah, we smell so fresh, like flowers and listerine. Yeah. I met my now fiancé online. We were talking a lot before that. I'm a Kiwi.

he is from Chicago. So it's safe to say I went all the way to Chicago to see my crush. Oh yeah. I've never been, but gosh. Did you go in autumn? I've been in summer and winter and it's, yeah, it's beautiful. Yeah. The bean? Oh no. Yeah, I'd be the bean. I've been to the bean

a couple of times. A big bean? Yeah. My wife 15 years ago, when we were first dating, told me she was really into cars. And when I told her about my Subaru WRX with a manual transmission, she was like, yeah, man, I love that. I love cars and I'll only ever drive manual. So one night after a few bears

I let her hop in the driver's seat to take us home and she said, what's with the third pedal? I laughed. I thought it was a pretty good joke. She was not joking. She nearly blew up the transmission trying to smash through gears. Oh my God.

After being like, man, people that drive auto, it's not really driving. Yeah. I was talking to a guy who lives in Melbourne who's in my D&D group. God, let's roll dice. Roll some dice. Our mutual friends were having a housewarming in Auckland

So I said, effort, I'll buy your flights to come over I pick you up from the airport and housey for the weekend It went so well He's paid for my flights to see him for our three-month anniversary in a few weeks Also, they're doing a long distance Wow Yeah Intercontinental

No, trans Tasman Trans Tasman, Trans-Tasman relationship A trans-Dazan relationship Wow Somebody else, my crush was really into art And I saw him doing pottery And I was like, well, I can't say I like pottery or know how to do pottery.

He can teach me the pottery. I'll tell him I'm a painter. Yeah. And he was then, he's like, me too. And I was like, oh, oh. I'd just say I always want like a Jackson Pollock. Have you seen Ed Sharon's painting? That's embarrassing.

I mean, I love you, Ed Shearing. You're the kindest man and always so generous with your time and energy and interviews and your music's undoubtedly fantastic and you're a brilliant one-stop shop. He's not listening. But the painting. The painting.

He's just to say. That canvas around on the rich person that gets a hobby, eh? And he flings paintins and swings them around and punches the hole in it. Wee, we'll, weo, weo, weo. No. So you could do that person, I don't have the end of the story, how the story ended on. But if it's ongoing, you could just do that. Play ZM's Fletch Born and Haley.

Play ZM's Fletch Born and Haley. Now, just before we get to this fashion abomination. Thank you for calling it what it is, Fletch. We'll just say quickly, we are running a promotion. at the moment for Father's Day, which is this Sunday. It is indeed. And Olivia has won. We need you to text the keyword Dad and then five words sum up your dad. That's right. And send that to

9-696 and you could win. Like Olivia has done today a Chemis Warehouse Father's Day prize pack. You can find the perfect gift of this Father's Day at Chemis Warehouse. And today, Olivia, she said the five words for her dad. He gives, never asks back. Oh, that's Norse. Oh, that's lovely. That's dead.

That's nice. It's really nice because we've also had some texts that are like farts, sports, beer, laugh, fat. I think we must award a text like that tomorrow. Because, you know, that is summing up their dad, and that's exactly what we've asked you to do. We haven't did. Okay, let's talk about this fashion abomination. Now, about a year ago, I reckon, pointy shoes re-entered the mainstream. Does Georgia Bird have some of these pointy shoes?

She's got some pointy shoes. Georgia Burt, can you come in here? Is she... No, no, you've got... That's got a bit of a rounded toe on her. Now, Georgia Burt is in studio, and very soon will complete her side quest, hopefully, to jackpot secret sound of $50,000. Yeah, surprise. I'm going to hear more about what I have to do for that.

It's pretty easy. Hey? Pretty easy, but Fletch couldn't do it, so, yeah, we'll see. Well, it was nail polish, also, I'd never use it. What did you do? You got a snip a cent. Oh, no, I'm actually shocking. Oh, well.

I'm good with my hands. It may not be a jackpot of $50,000. Now, you do often rock a pointed shoe. And a half shoe. But we're not talking about that abomination. A pointed shoe, a real pointy toe. Yeah, I love it. Yeah.

What size feet do you wear? Nine. So I'm not just making big feet look hoofier, longer. I can't wear a pointy shoe. I'm already rocking a 10. So then we've got a 10 foot. And then you're putting more of the point on. We're rocking a boat.

You're almost squeezing your toes into that point, though. Sometimes I'm like, Don't want to look like a clown. Well, there is a new trend. Okay, get this, Georgia. So it's not just a pointed shoe. It is a pointed sports trainer. That's hideous.

Yes. I wear some rogue shoes because you guys call me out for it all the bloody time. You do have got a rogue shoe collection. But I like it. I've got expensive taste in my shoes too, but I would never. That is an absolute heart. Isn't that horrendous? Who makes that?

So it's not a, like not a, like not a, well-known brand. It's just some random thing, but it's becoming a trend. That's popping up. That's not catching on. Nobody's doing that. So just imagine your gym shoe. This one's light pink, for example, lace up, like with the netting and the thick things,

but just at the end where it would round off at points. Imagine wearing those to Les Mills. Well, you couldn't run in them. To be fair, what I am thinking is you could, you know, how sometimes you squeeze your feet into some places in the gym and you've got to like hold your foot there and then like do a sit-up. Yeah. Perfect for that.

A small wedge. A little hook in there? I don't know about that. No, I don't, producer girlies. We've seen this as well. Where are we at with the pointed shoes? Oh my goodness. I have seen people say that they want to wear this with a business pant,

like a long pants, so you've just got the pointed toe popping out. It's less obvious it's a trainer. And then it's a lot more comfy in the workplace. There are comfy shoes you can wear in the workplace. Yeah. I'm in a workplace. I'm wearing a lovely truck tailor. Also, like, as a girl with like a size nine foot, like, it's going to make me look.

We're rocking the absolute female. Big feet on the show, don't we've got some big hooves. You know what they say that big hooves, eh? What do they say? What do they say? Big socks? No. Do you please don't bring the tone of the show down like that?

We try so hard to make this a highbrow show. A highbrow and, you know, something for the whole family to listen to you come in and now with this. How am I going to explain to my kids in the car, Georgia, that a big foot generally indicates the size of a male's genitals. Yeah. I didn't say that. You said that to explain that to my kids. Wow. I honestly,

you can leave the studio actually. Please take off the head, guys. Gladly. Put him down. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. What are you still hiding from your parents? Anything you two? Tattoes.

I've got like that swastika on my bat. Shat! I joke, I joke, I joke. He jokes, he's a chest. It's actually on his chest. It's actually on my chest. Yeah, yeah, right, right, right. Well, um.

No, I still don't have it. have any tattoos. But your mum wouldn't care if you did. No, they wouldn't care. Would you, did you hide your first tattoo from your mum? No, no, she knew it and she grabbed my back and kissed it all over before I went. She said, why are you doing this? So she isn't known about all of mine, bar one.

Okay. Anyway, so I want to know what you were currently hiding as an adult from your parents because there was a girl who's gone viral online. She's been vlogging her vacation, visiting her folks. and taking bets on how long it will take them to notice that she's had her tongue split in body modification. So she's like a lizard person now. You cut them, yeah, and you can train them to move separately.

Is there any... How far down is it cut? It's to the middle. How far back? Where the person would go, that's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you split. And then you can train them to go like that. So I have one friend who's got it done.

How would you in ice block? Do you reckon you do that in record time? Right, right, right time. Yeah. Double lick. You go up and down. That's what you're doing there's something else to think about too. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, right, yeah, okay. But now that I've seen you do that... Yeah. Oh, no, that's... I think I'm pro. And then once you've done that, can you go back? No, you can't stitch it back. I mean, you probably could.

So you're a bit like a flesh tunnel. Yeah, you've just got this, like, floppy ear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But hey, it's... You do your body where you want, but her parents still haven't noticed. How do you not notice somebody with a split tongue? Because if you talk like this, you're just like, you're not really looking at my tongue a lot. my teeth. You'd still see a bit of a pink

thing there, but like... But then the air temperature changes and you have to go or a fly... Or a fly flies past and you go, or a little mouse. Yeah. A skater's mine. You've got to eat it because you're a snake person. And so she's gone home and still, how long's it been on her vlog now that her parents haven't noticed? Wow. Days, basically.

Right. Days and people are like, when are they going to go, put your bloody tongue out? What have you done there? I couldn't imagine many parents being stoked with things. that. No, but I want to know what are you still hiding from your parents? Perhaps a marriage. Perhaps a child. I was going to say a relationship. How would you

hide a child? Could be a divorce. You know, that you've separated from your partner? You hear about people that don't tell their parents or their friends when a relationship ends for a while? Just because they don't want to have to deal with it? Yeah.

The other questions and follow us? Or are getting some messages in and there's a very common theme. There is a very common theme. Very common theme. The first person said, hiding my ADHD diagnosis. I don't want my mum's judgment and denial that that thing even exists. Yeah, they'd find it hard to understand. Or if I had this age, no.

I'm currently hiding from my father that both my son and I have had an ADHD diagnosis and are on medication. He wouldn't understand. He's too much of a bumer. And I don't want that discussion. And somebody else said, I'm hiding, then I'm back on the antidepressants. Wow. Wow, that is a thing.

A common thing there. Those were the first three, but then also someone just texts in like, oh, I'm vaping. Oh, yeah. No, but mum will catch you when she smells. in the lounge? Does mum know? Blueberry. She's like, where are the... Who's got a pie? Gosh, that blueberry pie smells delicious. Okay, 0,800,000 and we'd love to hear from your text in, 9-696.

What are you, a grown adult, still hiding from your parents? What are you still hiding as a grown adult from your parents? Because a girl has gone viral online for documenting how long it takes for her parents to notice that she's had a body modification. She's split her tongue.

Anonymous, good morning. What don't your parents know? What are you hiding? Hello, is that me? Yes, it is. Hi, morning. So my family doesn't know that my partner and my child went to Europe last year for two weeks.

We were living with them at the time and we had it secret for ages. And one day we were like, okay, we're going now, see you in two weeks and then we left. And they still don't know a year later. Wait, so you went to Europe as well. Or was just your partner? So the three of you went to Europe for two weeks?

Yes. There's no photos. You didn't come back. You're not accidentally like, oh, it was that when we were in Paris. No, we keep a secret from everyone. Why, though? Because we knew that they would not approve. It's like the money that we had to spend to go only.

Yeah. Right. Because you were living with them and you weren't really paying your way, weren't. Yeah. Yeah. So you're mooching up them. But where did they think everyone went for two weeks? My partner lied and said that we were going to Bali with my his family.

Right. Because they've got cancer. Yep. So. You used the cancer. Wow. You weaponized your father-in-law's cancer. Wow.

But yeah, they still don't know. They're so clueless. Oh, no. That's so good at us. I bet they had an inkling when you all came back. with a tan. Yeah, yeah. Although, I mean, he was in Bali.

You were in Europe. Yeah, so good cover. Okay, anonymous. Thank you. Dylan, what do you parents still know? They were being married seven years. They actually believe we've been married two years. He did it earlier.

Did you just have like a real quick shotgun wedding or something? Yeah, so not quite a shotgun wedding. We don't actually have any kids. right now but uh yeah so we originally got eloped within the first couple of months of being together just because we we knew we were the one so we're happy when you know you know you know don't you know yeah exactly uh but then obviously none of the family was there so we did a celebration but a wedding to everyone else five years later wow so did you um have a celebrant there that you just said who don't need to do the papers she was she was on the end so she knows what was up but uh so there are a couple

that do know, but not our parents. Out of everyone at the wedding, how many people were there and how many people knew? There was about 60 and maybe, I think, three new. The deceit. The deceit, Dylan.

Donny boy. I love that. That's so funny. That's so good. Dylan, thank you. Some messages in. What are you still hiding from your parents? When I was 22, I lied to my parents about going to Rao Rottonga with my girlfriend. I wasn't allowed a girlfriend. Now I'm just going to pause and revisit the start of the sentence when they said when I was 22.

Not allowed a girlfriend at 22. Told them I was going for a trip around the North Island with the boys but went to Rarotonga with my girlfriend. Okay. You're not allowed a girlfriend at 22 and you're going on a trip with the boy so I'm hearing a heterosexual. I immediately went, you're a lesbian, you weren't allowed a girlfriend, you weren't allowed to be gay.

But no, we've got a male texting. Yeah, maybe. Or maybe the parents just know because lesbians like to move it after like a week. Yeah, who knows. Maybe they're a fast mover. I'm hiding a marriage from my parents. My partner and I got married

so I could join him for a longer time overseas And while he has told his whole family I haven't told any of my family Are friends in New Zealand or my home country I've got family coming to visit me This summer over a Christmas And I feel like someone's gonna spill the beans Yeah, I reckon tell them

That's a big secret Tell them now so they've got time to get over it Before they get here So many head of marriages I got married for a student allowance 28 years ago My parents still don't know 28 years ago

Has it been divorced? Have they divorced? Oh surely? Yeah I'm hiding my entire home life I co-own a funeral home with my parents and no I don't want to brunch on Sunday I'm exceptionally hung over and you will not approve of the naughty antics I've been up to

I love that. I went to 16 and I had my tongue paste for a year before my parents found out I laughed went out at dinner and there was no hiding it also have tattoos all over that my dad doesn't know about I'm 32 and he's none the wiser he's so anti it's not worth the drama yeah just put on a cardigan how much a lot of this is just parents that are just old school like yeah yeah for sure

car accident roll my truck down a cliff totaled the truck insurance paid out. I wasn't hurt. The road was close for ambulances and police cars, but I just knew it'd be too dramatic to tell my parents about so I didn't tell them. Grew out in a church. Husband came out as gay a few years ago

and I won't be telling my parents and I'm having great sex with my new partner of 11 months. Now, I've got so many questions. Wait. Do the parents believe that you're still together or they just don't know why you broke up? So everyone knew, right, that was coming. I reckon that.

You always know that's coming. Yeah. God can only hold down the buoyant gay for so. long. I know. It's like when you're in a pool and you try to keep the paddle board underneath. Yeah, it'll always come to the top. Oh, eventually it bubbles out.

It'll smack you right in the mouth too, if you're not careful. I'm hiding that while I was house sitting for my parents that the police raided the house for drugs. Oh dear. What? For their parents' drugs or their drugs? I don't know. I had my almost full sleeve of tattoos from my mum for four years.

Parentheses, we're Asian. Close parentheses. Thank you. When my older sister and I got matching. tattoos, I made her tell mum first to gauge your reaction before I did, and surprisingly she was okay with it. Oh, I've got one too, Mom. I even asked if she could get a matching one too.

Oh, Mom. Mama. I'm hiding where I live from my dad. I just don't want to know where I live. Fear. My husband is hiding a child from his parents. The child is the result of an affair. He cheated on me. We have three kids together and he hasn't told his parents about his other

child who is seven now. Seven. Wow, you better hope they don't do an Ancestry.com test. We're all spitting and chew. and it's all coming up. For six months I had for my family that my marriage was over and I was living with a friend. When I went to visit them, I was just say she was too busy to come.

That's sad. Yeah. I'm hiding from my parents how much tea and coffee I drink. I might have a Mormon on our hands. Why would you? Mum, you'll never guess I had five cups today. Because Mormons don't do... Mormons don't they?

But they might not even be Mormon. No, why else would you be hiding the coffee and tea? We don't have Mormons listening to the show. We do. We're very very. Very popular with the Mormons. Oh, have you seen that video? Well, no, we're popular with the coffee drinking Mormons.

Have you seen the, like, nudge, nudge, more Mormons? The real where the Mormons go to knock on the door and there's a grind, someone's got a grinder door mat, and they back away. And then everyone's like, how did he know? Oh. It's a grinder door logo. Wow, dormant design. I'm not saying that at 10. Yeah.

No. I don't imagine there'd be a big cellar at 10. Yeah. I'm hiding that I'm actually a really good cook. For context, they became a good cook and have just. move back home and when I have to have to make dinner I make it bad so I don't have to do it too often because if I'm good they'll expect it every night. That's so funny.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, so many people are hiding things from your parents. Yes, Father's Day this weekend. Ribbed the Band-Aid off. For his present, tell him everything you've never told him. Yeah. There you go. Happy Father's Day. Ruin his day. Play Z-M's Fletch, Ron and

Haley. Play Z-M's Fleshworn and Haley. Fact of the day, Day, day, day, day. Cheese week To do to do to do do do Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Cheese week.

And fact of the day and today we're looking at the oldest cheese ever found. It was found in Egypt. No surprises there. 3,200 years old. It was a mix of shit. A shit, no, sheep. Sheep. They've a fine mixture of shit milk.

Beautiful mix of. I mean, it had gone to shit. It had curdled after 3,200 years. Yeah. It was a mix of cow, sheep and goat milk. And it was discovered in the pyramids. Do you reckon they made it by accident back in the day? So this is how, this is, well, I will tell you now about the nomadic people of Africa

and how cheese was started 70,000 years ago. Okay. Nomadic people carried containers made from animal stomachs. Animal stomachs, they would eat the animal, they'd keep the stomachs. They'd wash it out in a creek and they'd fill it with water like a bladder and if they were going into a dry climate. that have water reserves. Because they didn't have Stanley's back then.

I don't believe so. Okay. Just might have to check that. It's checking. Might to check that. No Stanley Cups. No, Frank Green drink bottles. Or Kmart jubes.

No, no, Kmart jubes. So they would make animal stomach containers to carry around water. They would also carry milk when they saw, and you know, the old joker, what was the first guy that milked a cow thinking? Well, obviously, we are breastfed as children. We are of the mammal clan And they see other mammals feeding on the milk And they're like, well, obviously that's a ready supply

Yeah He was probably just using his goddamn brain Yeah Anyway, so they knew milk was higher in energy And give them, they probably didn't put it like that Yeah How many kilojoules was in that milk? Nothing like that

But they knew they could get more energy from it So they would store it in the animal stomach containers But they believe there was that natural rennet That's in it that curdles the milk and turns it to cheese. Yeah. And so they believe that that in the lining curdled the milk, creating sort of a cottage cheese.

Oh, okay. But they were like, yum, yum, yum, yum. Someone had to do that first and be like, it's, um, shall I? Soft and lumpy. I just don't think they thought like, I'm hungry. Hungry.

That was edible. I'll keep going, that was edible. And then in the hot climates, it made the milk last longer. Right. When they were, you know, and they could get more energy out of it. lasted longer. So the oldest physical cheese found in Egypt. Mesopotamia,

which is a fun thing to say. Yeah. Mesopotonia. Mesopotonia. What is it now? Modern Middle East. I right. Modern Middle East. Yeah, the modern Middle East. They found tablets. iPad. Yeah, iPads with cheese ingredients. Time tradblers.

Hello. They found stone tablets, you cheeky beggar. Of course they didn't have tablets back there. Silly boy, it was 2,000 years before Christ. He is silly. Um, they found stone tablets that mentioned, like, basically, like, cheese recipes on how to make cheese. And it was, uh, did it was the first, like, two, um, tablet stones like their life story. A really old story. A really old story about how the uncle used to make cheese for the family.

Just get to the recipe food blogger. No one cares. So cheese for the Greeks, if we go to continue through our walk through history, was considered a gift from the gods. Yeah. Um, Homer's Odyssey. Not Homer Simpson. Homer Odyssey, uh, which was like 800 years before Christ. They talk about the cyclops in the middle of the maze

making sheep's milk cheese. That's in the story. And the Romans actually made it so you could make mass produce a bit more cheese. That's when they brought in the plastic slices. Yeah. The Romans. Yeah.

Individually wrapped. Could you imagine if they hadn't collapsed? The Roman Empire. Yeah. They're killing it right now. Man. The sandals. I can imagine it.

I mean, yeah, they made Roman sandals. Cheese slices. Roman, the blinds? The blinds. Yeah. I won't say that one, but yeah, they did a lot of things. I love to bathhouse, let's put it out away. I thought that might have been where you were going.

In India, there's 3,000-year-old texts that, pardon me, there's 3,000, you can't do that, it's distracting me. Carwin talked to my air and blew it. Calvin just, oh my God, Calvin pressed the wrong button and has derailed the show. She blew! I mean, we have to leave. So there's 3,000-year-old texts from India. We're describing Darnie and Pania, which are a type of trees, of course.

I love Pania. China even had cheese, which kind of surprises me because previous fact of the days we've learned about the percentage of people with lactose intolerance in Asia with Asian ancestry significantly higher than those from other parts of the world. But they had some cheeses. Now around the world, these cultures all made cheeses from different things.

I just quickly tell you that you can get buffalo milk cheese. Motsorella. Yum. Yeah, buffalo mozzarella. Yum. Yack milk. Tibet and Nepal. Makes a very hard chewy cheese

But like super rich in fats and energy And you need that If you're going to scarper up that bloody Everest You need more than a... Yeah, well they haven't had foos balls back then, did they? No. Fuseballs. Oh, those...

You're talking to Tom and Luke Fusball. Fuse balls. Fruze balls. Fuse balls are the game you play on the table. I was like, why would the ancient Nepalese people would have passed time. Be playing foosball. You'll do about Fruz balls. Fruz balls.

That's what I said fruzeballs. Tomlinuukes, Froose balls. And they don't have a one square meal either. Horses milk in Central Asia because, of course. I'm not having horse cheese. I'd have a bit of horse cheese. Camel milk, reindeer milk, which you can still get in Scandinavia. And of course cat cheese.

And of course, if you can milk enough out of a cat, you can make your very own cat cheese. Yeah. It's very much like feta. Crumbly. Very crumbly cat milk. Great on a cracker with a little sourcrown. Great and crank. Thank you.

If we're going to do that, though. So today's fact of the days, please, please. The oldest physical cheese found, 3,200 years old, found in Egypt. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Are do-to-do-d-d-d-dood-dood-dood-d-d-d-d-dip-d-d-d-dup-d-d-doo-d-d-d-d-d-doo. Play Z-M's fleshfwon and Haley. Are we ready? Yeah.

Girl mass, girl mass, girl math, girl math, girl math, girl math. Dance, Herman Dance. Welcome to the studio, Ross Boss. Hello. Hello. Ross Boss is in because a few weeks ago, Haley, with the company credit card, the show credit card. In hand.

You purchased from Trade Me a life-size ceramic German Shepherd. I did, and we named him, well, the listeners as well, Herman the German, and we threw him a huge German celebration yesterday. Yeah, made his way at the country. About him. really love the video that the girls produced yesterday. Go and check it out on our socials. You see a little snippet

of his whole journey up the Mutu to return to us. Well not return to arrive in our possession. I did see one comment that was like this is greater than Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Oh, there is actually quite a bit of bullying about Vaughn's pasty white skinny legs. Yeah, that's deserved. Yeah.

And I'll say a lot of attention for the honkism for that, I thank you. Yeah. Legs and honkers. It's legs and breasts. It's a KFC quarterback. Yeah. Now, we thought that we would bring back girl math for a one-off to justify the $1,200 that I spent Ross

on the company credit card without asking you. I haven't processed it yet, to be honest. Haven't processed it. What do you put that under like a catering event or a client function? I think, yeah. I've done pretty well with miscellaneous over the years. Oh, okay. Yeah, because that could be anything.

I assume we don't have a receipt for this. Is there a level where management are like, you know, don't worry so much about a miscellaneous? Nothing unofficial, just don't get in trouble and I haven't yet. But a ceramic dog's up there. Yeah, $1,200 you can't hide in a miscellaneous line. It doesn't feel like a miscellaneous amount. So, I mean, if he's anything, he's miscellaneous. So I will say, I want to start off by saying this is much cheaper than buying an actual German Shepherd

because I worked out the cost of owning, this is from Money Hub and SPCA, so trusted sources, Ross boss. The cost of owning a German Shepherd average yearly cost is $1,600. $1,6 a year. I would say with pet insurance and feeding and registration and vet visits,

that would be on the light end of things. And there's no Fluffy Fridays here anymore either. Totally. Take here. Because of a German Shepherd was it. It was actually, yeah. Yeah, a real German Shepherd, the bitter, bitter worker. I don't know if it bit.

I think I growled. He can't hear you. Your people did not do that. So, I don't want to hear what they did. Yeah. His people have a history. So $16,000, sorry, $1,600. And he was, he's from 1980.

That was something we learned about his history, 1980. So that's 45 years that he's been around. If we had a 45-year-old dog from 1980 to today, that would have cost $75,000, $870 bucks. Arguably, you wouldn't like me putting that on a credit card. He's from 1980. 1980. That's when I was born.

Can we give a math that 45 down to like 27? You want to get it down, down, yeah, yeah, 45 years. So if we're going to think, I mean, even with the broken leg, he'd go for another 45,000 years. Yeah. We've already saved. If I'll just minus the 1,200 I spent on that. We've actually saved $74,500.

Out the gate. Have we? Rather than buying a German Shepherd and then they die And we're going to buy, die and buy, die and buy, die and buy. You haven't put a price on mourning the loss of a beloved pet Because I have been through it a few I don't want to talk about it

But I've been through it a few times lately And jeez I mean even cremation costs I think it costs us like Hundreds of dollars to get Lulu cramated Oh so we're saving thousands So we're starting at a savings of $75,000 Over to you Shannon

To continue the savings Well obviously as we know Herman travelled a very long way and I mapped this out because it wasn't a straight line he did some detours. He travelled 1,200 kilometres and as we know he actually cost £1,200 so we're talking a dollar per

K we got him up here which is incredible I mean how many people commute every day more than a kilometre or heaps we actually rely on it Exactly and I've also worked out the fuel this would take if we actually personally had to go pick up Herman obviously we had our incredible listeners help us

we're looking at about $300 of fuel and that doesn't even include the ferry which he did get a private room So yeah that's true He got the Blue Bridge private room He had an incredible travel experience So we actually made savings by not paying anyone to help us getting up here Exactly

So I'll just chuck on a two grand, shall we say? Yeah I'll say Okay All right And then if that's not selling it for you Which I can see Ross it's not Think of it like this The average cost of therapy

For one person for one year In New Zealand is around $6,500 dollars. Yeah, and that's if you don't have much to work through. Totally. Like, that's once a week, yeah. That's if you're not, Haley. So, if we times that, 6,500 by the five of us,

because it's helped all of our mental health. I've actually got my own therapy bill. I need Ross to pay, so. They haven't paid that yet. You might have to take me out of that equation, go on. Plus, the 12 listeners that helped us get them up, because they've all told me this was amazing. It's made their weeks.

It's made their years. That is 17 of us times $6,500, $110,000. Wow. Yeah, see, we're just saving so much money. Plus 10,000. That's a question that calculation, though. Like, a dog is like therapy, but that's when you can, like, when it kisses you and stuff.

Yeah, he can kiss us. I eat on a donut straight from his mouth yesterday. I know, and you're trying to pretend like you're not brought droid by Herman, but you literally came in with your water bottle and said, do you want some laundry? I did see it. Well, he looked 30, his tongue's out, so it looks. Firstly, that's what they'd do.

So these simple equations added up has actually saved you, Ross, and the company, $186,670. That's like two secrets out. You haven't even mentioned the free marketing and the joy that the lessons of brought. And maybe just is there a vibe value as well? Because I think you could probably save the entire media industry in New Zealand. We'll round that up to a quarter of a million. I reckon.

And I hope, yeah, and I hope the big boss. is really listening here that we have as a show. We've spent $1,200. To save the company a quarter of a million dollars, that's Gilmath. That's not basically free. It's basically free. That's making money. Over again. In fact

it's making money. We're making money. I'll put that in the company financial reports. Yeah, you can just send them this if you want. Yeah, you just send them this class. And it's actually how just sort of Girl Math in the entire industry, I reckon these guys have got it. Yeah, yeah, we could do anything. We're actually, Girl Math is back permanently.

So you're patting the dog, Haley. It's not real. Because he's so lovely. I love him. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Haley. Georgia, who does the day show is in with us now. And we're discussing. Spiky names.

Spiky names, harsher sounds. So that's what they mean by spiky. It just sounds Georgia. Georgia. Georgia. Georgia. I mean, it depends if you say it's in a French accent or if you said Georgia. Georgia.
