Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Thank you, Sam. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
It's three minutes past six. Wednesday.
Only...
So close to the long weekend.
Couple more to go, isn't it?
Couple more shows.
Yep.
Couple more work days and Easter is here.
The Long Weekend Group 2 is back.
Yeah.
Tomorrow, 8 o'clock.
It's gonna be really good. You feeling good? Are 2 is back tomorrow 8 o'clock. It's going to be really good.
You're feeling good.
Are you itchy? I'm itchy.
What are you itching?
Maybe some sort of eczema returning or it
could be fiberglass or
it could be fleas.
There's a good number of options at our house at the moment.
I feel like you're itching every day from
your renos. I'm itchy, yeah.
My dress is dirty.
I'm itchy. She's an itchy girl. Hayley gets to work
this morning and then realises her dress
is multiple stains. Multiple?
What are the stains? What sort of
stains are we looking at here? Sort of like
That one's definitely a mayonnaise.
I feel like that's a mayonnaise. Sort of seafood, like a
cooking. Okay, yeah.
Then on this side
you have some sort of liquid thing. Okay, yeah. Then on this side,
yeah, some sort of liquid thing.
That looks like snot.
Yeah, I could have blown my nose on it maybe.
I did that.
Dig a bit of snot on the old coat.
Oh, wow, look.
At least I've got a great personality.
That's true.
You know?
That's something good to fall back on.
Yeah.
The top six is coming up.
Boy, it sure is.
And the doctors have said, you know what you guys need?
You guys need more nature prescriptions.
What are nature prescriptions?
Walk in the bush.
Oh, eat a banana.
Splashing your feet in the water.
I get all that.
It's great.
Yeah.
But sometimes you need a little, a pam or a pram or a... When you're paying $70, $80, $90 for the doctor...
Yeah.
I want the good stuff.
You want some pills, don't you?
I've got so much Panadol and Nurofen and stuff,
because every time I go to the doctors for something small,
I'm like, well, I've got to make the most of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, stock up while you're there.
They love that.
A little bit of that, a little bit of this.
They love that.
A little bit of snoozy pills and some...
All of them.
Happy stuff.
Well, I've got the top six nature prescriptions that I will prescribe you, Dr. Smith.
Because, you know, if you're just prescribing nature, do I need to go to medical school for seven years?
No, you just go to nature school.
Yeah, go to nature school.
The top six is coming up.
Our silly little poll as well.
Today, Fiji hours, yay or nay?
And during which
I will eat Fijowas.
You hate...
I just find them feral.
Why?
I just...
Wow.
Many, many issues with them.
Okay.
Don't eat them in here.
The stink of them.
Oh, they're delicious.
Well, you see which way I voted
for silly little poll today.
Next on the show though,, Android users finally getting something.
Shame.
Shame.
Finally getting something.
How embarrassing for you.
Finally getting something that iPhone users have had forever.
I assume they have had this for ages, but apparently not.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
I said that Android...
Oh, my God.
You've got to stop dragging that microphone.
Oh, get a better microphone.
This is a work problem.
This is a work problem.
Look, just put your headphone bag under it.
But I've got a different school phone bag.
She's got a cotton headphone bag.
I've got a pleather one.
There you go. It's better a cotton headphone bag. I've got a pleather one. I go... There you go.
It's better.
That's fine.
That's fine.
Yes, look, we've just...
Producer Jarrett's just brought you a nice little cotton sack.
Hayley and I apologise to the listeners for the rough sound there.
I didn't even hear it.
This is terrible.
Just...
We really do apologise.
I do apologise.
You were in this on our anniversary.
I know.
You remembered.
Happy anniversary, guys.
I was going to say, how long has it been?
I said to the producers yesterday,
did you guys tell him?
No.
I've got it in my calendar.
Did you see on Facebook memories or something?
No, it's in my calendar.
How long?
How many years?
19.
19 years together.
And this is the worst we bicker.
When he can't get his microphone stand up.
Aren't we lucky, isn't that nice?
Isn't that nice?
Aren't we lucky, isn't that nice?
I love my dads.
Still very active, aren't we?
Sexually.
Oh, very active.
Very active.
You've worked on it though.
We have.
We've really hit our straps.
Yeah.
Now I said Android users have finally got something that iPhone users have had for ages.
Yes.
Android's answer to AirDrop is available to try in beta.
Do you say beta or beta?
Depends who you're talking about.
B-E-T-A.
Because I say Tamita.
Beta.
But you might say Tamata.
I say beta.
But I say beta.
Alpha, beta, gamma, gamma.
Yeah, alpha, beta,
kappa, gamma, kappa.
Something like that.
Well, Android's answer
to Apple's AirDrop
is almost ready for Windows PC.
What do you mean
that's almost ready?
It's literally,
we've had AirDrop for so long.
That's what beta is.
It's trying it out.
But I don't know,
does that mean Android phones
have already had it for a while?
I don't know.
It's literally the best thing.
Hey, do you want this ginormous file?
I know, and you can send it to your Mac
or you can send it to another friend.
It's just incredible.
So I don't know if they've already had it on Android phones.
I know you could get other apps maybe.
Yeah.
That let you do it.
Or you just send friends photos on WhatsApp.
Yeah, because that's...
The quality doesn't change.
That's a better quality.
Messenger's quality of purchase is terrible. You, because that's the quality doesn't change. That's a better quality. Messenger's quality
of pictures is terrible.
You never
That's terrible.
Can you change the settings
in Messenger?
Because sometimes
you send a video
in Messenger
and then afterwards
you're like,
I wish I just saved that
for a higher quality.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's such toilet.
Toilet.
I'm going to say toilet.
Toilet quality video.
Yeah, it's toilet quality video.
We'll always send on WhatsApp if you don't want the quality to go down.
And then with the WhatsApp, you can have it saved so that anything someone sends you,
it just gets saved straight to the camera roll.
Yeah, but that's dangerous.
Yeah, no, you don't do that.
Because it depends on how you're using WhatsApp.
That just means everything's in your camera roll.
Yeah, and sometimes you don't need stuff that's on WhatsApp in your camera roll.
Yeah, this is true.
You know, you just don't.
No.
But yeah, that's great, isn't it?
That's great.
Good news for those people.
I don't know if this is going to mean
that they can, if nearby share on Android,
I don't know if that means
you'll be able to send to iPhones.
Like, why don't they just get a universal,
why don't they just use AirDrop?
You know who needs to get involved?
The European Union.
Oh, yeah.
The Union.
God, the European Union
are good at just getting
everybody on the same
page of things.
Well, if you're not
going to do it our way,
you can't be in
the European Union.
Because they're the ones
that have forced the USBC
charging.
Yeah.
They're like,
stop it, Apple.
Stop it.
Hayley just AirDropped
from your photo.
Thanks.
Thanks for that.
Do you know
Speaking of which
I bought this
Is that the HR
I bought this photo
Of a chicken
On Instagram last night
Yes
That's a good photo
Of a chicken
Beautiful photo
Why am I getting
Jason Marmol's bumhole
Decline
Beautiful photo of a chicken
Yeah beautiful
Just the lighting was right
She's stunning golden
Is that on your new iPhone
No I've still got your phone.
I'm actually just composing another email to Sandy.
Where the hell is Sandy?
I sent you one the other day saying,
please contact me regarding this case.
As I've hit a speed bump.
Yeah.
And then just now I was like,
I'm going to actually follow up that email.
Because you ever send an email, you don't get a reply.
And your phone or your email is like,
this might want following up.
Yeah, I love that. Follow up?
You haven't heard back from this person. Five days.
So somebody messaged me saying,
I would love a high quality version
of this picture with your chicken.
What? Why? They said that's a
gorgeous photo of the chicken.
No, on Instagram it loses a bit.
So I said, send me your email. So last night I sent an email is a high quality. No, on Instagram it loses a bit. Oh, yeah, right. So I said, send me your email.
So last night I sent an email of a high quality photo of a chicken
to this person and they messaged me back, beautiful, thank you.
It's a beautiful photo.
It's a lovely photo.
I mean, it's weird.
It's just weird that you'd want a photo of a random chicken in high quality.
It's not a show chicken.
It's a run-of-the-mill brown shaver.
Don't get me wrong.
Brown shavers rule.
They reliably lay eggs and they just look like a farmyard chicken from a children's book.
Right.
I'm assuming that Sandy's still AWOL.
She could still be at Fritbo skiing.
She could still be on holiday.
I might actually use AI to write.
I might use ChatGPT to write a slightly passive-aggressive message.
Yeah, you need to be a bit more pointed.
Threatening legal action.
Can you just write me a message to an Apple representative,
Sandy at Apple, at the APACCRcorrespondents underscore EN.
In regards to my...
Regarding case number 25078005620.
So I'm all about chat GTP when it's for this kind of stuff.
Yeah, same.
Not when it's taking over the world.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
There is a dermatologist who...
Did they do a skin?
Derma?
Derma.
Dermatologist?
Dermatologist.
Dermatologist. Dermatologist. Dermatologist.
Dermo.
From the Greek god of skin care.
Of skin care, yeah, of retinol.
Yeah.
She always shares these little like health and beauty tips on Tiki Toki.
And she has claimed that you should never ever brush your teeth after washing your face.
You've got to go brush teeth, then wash face.
Oh, because I'd always, at night, I'd always do it after
because I'd shower.
Skincare.
Then brush teeth.
Teeth is the last thing I do morning and night.
Yeah, same.
Because you want them.
The freshest.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, apparently, Because you want them... The freshest. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, apparently it's because you go like this
and like little bits of the toothpaste
are spraying onto your skin,
clogging your pores
and you're going to get pimples.
Or you're transferring a lot of bacteria as well
from your mouth.
I always do.
Do you do the thing,
if you've got toothpaste on your lips,
you just cut water in your...
And then just like shut your mouth and...
I throw it on my face.
Yeah.
I go, yeah.
Take that face.
You're kind of cleaning up afterwards doing that, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
And then a lot of people have been jumping on being like, yeah,
I changed this.
And then my chin pimples got so much better.
I'm rocking a couple of them at the moment.
If you've got chin pimples.
You've got chimpals.
I've got chimpals.
I've got chimpals.
Chimpals.
I've got a bad chimpal because I squeezed it.
I know.
I like it.
Even though, like, I'm an adult now, every time I get a pimple, I'm like, I can hear
the voice.
Don't squeeze it.
Don't squeeze it.
What, I'm just going to leave it sitting there?
Yeah, no.
No, no, no.
I've squeezed it.
Now it's a little scabby web.
Well, why don't you try this and see if that helps your chimpals?
A little bit.
My chimpals. Yeah. Okay. Well, why don't you try this and see if that helps your chimpals? A little bit. My chimpals.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, maybe I will give it a go.
Someone also, oh, my God.
Someone says to put a good layer of,
a good barrier of Vaseline around your lips and chin while you're brushing.
Don't be so bloody stupid.
If you're worried about clogging things, what's Vas gonna do?
Yeah, that's gonna clog everything.
Remember that skin craze where people were
shoving Vaseline on their face? What was it called?
Vaseline on the face.
Yeah, I do remember that.
And they'd put a whole layer on and then go to bed.
I thought dermatologists were saying
that was bad as well.
Slugging is what it was called.
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
Because it would seal the moisture in.
Yeah, but it would also seal in all the bacteria and clog your pores, wouldn't it?
That would definitely give you some face, I was going to say pimples, but that's just pimples are predominantly face, aren't they?
You've got your pimples, your vimples, your chimples.
Pimples.
Your bimples on the bum.
Bimples.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your temples, that's on your temples. Your pimplesples on the bum Bimples Yeah Yeah Your temples
That's on your temples
Your fimples are on your forehead
Yeah
You know I'm strictly
I'm a chimpel gal
Well teeth before face wash
We'll give it a go
Apparently

Silly little po
Silly little po
It is so silly silly silly That the silly little po Silly Little Pole.
Fijohas.
Yes or no.
Fijoha salawiana, also known as aca salawiana,
is the species of flowering plant in the myrtle family.
Does anyone get myrtle rust?
I don't know.
We'll get myrtle rust.
But they're very prevalent in New Zealand, aren't they?
Yes.
Native to the highlands of southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, Uruguay,
northern Argentina, and Colombia.
You're a guy.
Europe.
I am. Last time I and Colombia. You're a guy. Europe. I am.
Last time I bloody checked.
Yeah, you got it.
But we're not on there.
Are we on their latitude?
Nah, we're down on there.
We're lower than there.
Like, normally they grow in the same band.
Yeah.
Do they have things like that?
Or is it more an altitude?
No, because...
I don't know. Mostly in the North Island of New Zealand too. Yeah. Don't they have things like that? Or is it more an altitude? No, because...
I don't know.
Mostly in the North Island of New Zealand, too.
Yeah. Aren't they?
The South Island, they do grow, but it's way more of a struggle.
Speaking from my trees, they're unstoppable.
Yeah.
They grow like weeds.
Yeah.
They just grow, grow, grow.
Okay, so if you went straight across from us, we're like halfway up Argentina, Auckland.
Yeah, okay.
So we're well south of the likes of Colombia, which is sitting on the equator.
Or Colombia.
Or Colombia.
And Paraguay, Uruguay, kind of like just above us.
Do they grow everywhere in Colombia or just...
Some of it's quite mountainous.
Yeah.
So it's quite high altitude.
Yeah, it doesn't say it says the highlands of southern Brazil.
Okay.
Maybe the highlands.
God, we're in good company, aren't we?
Oh, we really are.
Us and Colombia.
We'd make a great volleyball team.
The flower also always looks like a pahutukawa.
Yeah, it does.
So I wonder if it's from the same family.
Yeah, maybe.
It's the bottle brush and the pahutukawa.
It is.
It is.
It is.
It is.
It's from the same genus. Oh, genus. It's the guava, the clohutukawa. It is. It is. It is. It is. It's from the same genus.
Oh, genus.
It's the guava, the clove, the Fijia, the allspice, the eucalyptus, and the myrtle in the Pohutukawa.
So you cannot stand Fijia.
Why?
Can you trace this back to some kind of childhood event?
Yeah.
42 Below?
Yeah, 42 Below Fijia vodka.
Oh, no, don't eat it.
It's so gross.
I was 16.
It was the first time my parents saw me late.
And I ate Fijol Vodka.
This is why I can't eat Midori fruit.
Yeah, oh, my God.
You'll be really bad with the Midori fruit.
I know.
Yeah, the Midori fruit.
I can't do it.
Look at them.
They're all pith.
I miss Mad Jack's apples.
The bourbon apples.
I actually can't remember the last time I had a 42 Below feed gel vodka.
It was in the 2000s.
It was 2006, the year that I did this.
It was big, but yeah.
My wife used to work.
Your what?
My wife.
Your what?
Yeah.
Used to work at 42 Below.
Jesus, let me tell you.
I'm going to smell them soon.
She was an alcoholic.
She was an alcoholic.
There were some times where I was like, you are going to die.
You're going to pickle yourself.
Oh, God.
Mmm.
Oh, I think they're feral.
Mmm.
Nicknamed the pineapple guava.
Yeah, they're good.
The Brazilian guava, the fig guava or the guavastine?
Is it what's that juice company that does a feed gel?
Is it homegrown?
They do a good feed gel.
Yes, yeah.
That's good stuff.
Warm climate, subtropical plant, grow in the tropics,
requires at least 50 hours of winter chilling to fruit,
and is frost tolerant.
Oh, okay.
So they're going to grow up north more.
But then why wouldn't it grow down south?
I mean, they do, but they're just not as abundant.
So the poll results, do you like feed joes?
The answer, yes.
62%? Still not huge. Too huge. Too much majority. do you like feed joes? The answer, yes.
62%. Still not.
Too huge.
Not a huge majority.
Ew, no.
38%.
Benny says, whoever said no is neither a Kiwi
or is either not a Kiwi
or has chosen violence for their Wednesday.
I've chosen violence.
They chose violence.
I can't see who sent this
Because as it was screen capped
The New Zealand Herald
Sent out a notification
Saying watch live
As former US President
Donald Trump is under arrest
But
This person
Who is female
Said they are literally
God's green gift to us
So uniquely Kiwi as well
Yeah
But then
Do you think people
Are under the assumption
It's just Kiwi
And they have no idea
Because they are
Also Brazil and Colombia.
And Colombia.
Apparently France grows a mean Fijoa.
They like the orange.
You can sort of grow them anywhere.
Yeah.
Fijoa orchard in southwestern France.
Oh, my God.
We should go.
You guys like Fijoa so much.
We should go.
I mean, sure.
Just to see for radio, to just see the Fijos.
Oh, do you mean this is a work trip?
Yeah, oh my God, of course.
Right.
So Fletch, Fawn and Hayley fly to the south of France.
Fletch, Fawn and Hayley's Fijoa.
French.
French Fiesta.
Fescapade.
Yeah.
And then, it just writes itself.
Why don't we go to Colombia instead?
Leo, Colombia.
A FF5 phonetic is the username. It just writes itself. Why don't we go to Colombia instead? Leo, come on by Colombia.
A FF5 fanatic is the username.
Oh, yeah. Final Fantasy V?
No.
They can't be right.
F40 Fast and the Furious 5 fanatic?
That'll be it.
Fast and the Furious.
We don't have them in the US, and I crave them,
and I try to eat or drink something Fijian-related
every day I'm in New Zealand when I visit.
Wow.
Okay. I wonder if you could somehow get a Fijian tree and Every day I'm in New Zealand when I visit. Wow. Okay.
I wonder if you could somehow get a Fijoa tree and grow it in the US.
Surely.
Surely.
Leticia says, oh my God, I miss them so much.
I've lived in Canada for 14 years and every time I come home, they aren't in season.
You need to come home in autumn.
Now.
Yeah, yeah.
Your start of April is where it's really dropping its guts, the old Fijoa tree.
Marley says, yes, but they have to be the right ripeness before the middle gets too gelatinous.
Yes, good call.
Oh, my God.
The gelatinous Fijols are great for jam.
And I'm thinking about chutney, and every year I say I'll do it,
and I never have Fijol wine.
Oh, yum, yeah.
Apparently it's very easy to make Fijol wine.
We used to get overripe Fijols that dropped on the street
and just, like, fight with them.
Yeah, they stink.
We used to just run them over at my granddad's place.
They had a massive tree and you had to mow around on the right on the lawnmower
and you'd just shoot them all back under the tree
and when you hit them, they'd be like...
And the smell.
It's good stuff.
They taste like dishwashing liquid, says Steph.
Yes, they do.
No, they don't.
Oh my God, love.
We had like eight trees
at my old place
in Central Hawke's Bay.
Now I'm in Perth
and they're a rarity,
says Rachel.
See, this is a thing
you can go overseas,
you know.
You go and earn
all these big bucks overseas,
these tax-free dollars
in Dubai,
the money in Western Australia,
but you know what
you don't have?
Feijoas.
Feijoa.
Shane said,
Feijoa lollies are hands down the best lolly in the supermarket,
and I'm willing to argue about it with anybody.
Would you eat a Feijoa lolly?
Hell no.
Feijoa flavour, scent, anything.
Okay.
It's off the cards.
The fruit is also the shit,
but too much gives you the shit,
so it's a fine line there.
Yes, I must admit,
the other day when I punished a good 15 to 20 Feijoas,
I really had no problem pooping.
Yeah, well, it keeps you regular.
Slip sliding away.
There is a top psychiatrist called Dr. Daniel,
well, it's spelled Amen, as in the-
Amen.
Like Amen? Yeah, right. it's spelled amen. As in the- Amen. Like amen?
Yeah, right.
Dr. Daniel Amen.
He has been, he studied 200,000 brain scans to ascertain the key disparities between men and women's brains.
Okay.
Ascertain.
Who's the smaller?
Women.
That's awkward, isn't it?
I don't know why.
I don't think so.
Why are we always doing dumb stuff then?
Yeah, why?
Well, it's like the size,
it's not all about the size.
It's how you use it.
No, exactly.
You know what I mean?
That's what they say.
Yeah.
So one of the key,
well, they say that women in general
have healthier but busier brains,
which means that we go to jail 14 times less than men do.
The difference is largely due to women having much healthier activity in their prefrontal cortex,
which is responsible for forethought, judgment, impulse control, organisation, planning, empathy and learning from mistakes you've made.
So we use that
better than you. But due
to increased activity, we also
are more likely to suffer from depression than
men. Goodness.
Yeah, take the good with the bad. Yeah.
Men's brains
are bigger, 10% larger
in fact.
You're optimised
for motor skills, so move better than we do
whereas we're more optimised for
intuitive thinking
and then there was a theory that says
where was this
married men live longer
than single men
but married women live shorter than
single women
it's because men live longer when they're married
because they've got a woman caring for them.
And women live shorter
because they're looking after someone else and not
themselves. And it's very stressful on them.
Chronic stress. They live shorter
lifespans because of chronic stress
from men. Wow.
Man. Jeepers. That makes
sense. He said so
the only way to level
the playing field in this regard
would be if women started taking care of themselves more.
He said, for example, if you're on a plane and the cabin pressure goes down,
you need to put your own mask on first.
Women don't do that.
They look after everybody else first.
Don't speak on behalf of all women.
You'd be straight on the mask.
Yeah, I'd be stealing yours as well.
I want double air.
Yeah, get double the oxygen. Yeah. So, I mean, this on the mask. Yeah, I'd be stealing yours as well. I want double air. Yeah, get double the oxygen.
Yeah.
So, I mean, this is the thing.
I mean, we always joke about having smaller brains,
but they actually are significantly smaller.
But we, I don't know if we use them better.
We use them differently.
And you're in prison less as well.
And you guys are killing us.
So thanks for that.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the top six.
Hello there.
Nature prescriptions.
This is getting out there and going for a bloody walk in the sunshine.
And it sounds like silly and that,
but it's working.
Because a lot of people,
when doctors like get down to it,
they're literally not standing enough,
not walking enough,
and not getting enough fresh air or sun.
How good's fresh air and sun?
You literally need it.
Yeah, you do.
You might be like, what is wrong with me?
That's why you literally aren't getting outside enough.
That's why I can't understand how people love living in London.
And it's like always grey.
So grey.
Like at least in winter we get some nice blue sky days.
Yeah, all those frosty little nippy ones.
Yeah.
Yeah, love it.
Yeah.
So literally 92 different medical studies have looked into prescribing time in nature
and they've reduced blood pressure, depression, anxiety
and an increased physical activity
has had positive flow and effects.
So your doctor could literally be like,
go for a walk for crying out loud.
Yeah, but when you've paid like $7.99.
You paid all that money.
You want something like, I don't know.
Oh, you want something to take home.
Yeah.
And that's where Dr. Vaughan comes in.
Okay.
I've got the top six nature prescriptions prescribed by Dr. Vaughan Smith.
Number six on the list, antihistamines and cheese pie at the park.
Oh, yeah.
Beautiful.
I think you should have a little snack in a white bag and go down there and eat a nice
warm pie.
But it's the walk.
Warm you up.
The walk that'll get you.
It's the walk.
It's the nature.
It's the sitting on the park bench.
Shut up.
It's the pie.
It is the pie. It's the pie, it's the nature, it's the sitting on the park bench. Shut up, it's the pie. It's the pie.
It's the pie.
It's also the yummy, yummy pie.
Number five on the list
of the top six nature prescriptions
prescribed by Dr. Vaughan Smith.
Hydra quarters zoo trip

to see all the cute animals.
A lot of walking there.
Yeah, a lot of walking
and cute animals.
And nature.
Yeah.
Just nature.
So much nature.
You're in Africa.
No, you're not.
You're in the zoo. Yeah. In your city, but it feels like you're in Africa because you're not You're in the zoo
Yeah
In your city
But it feels like you're in Africa
Because you're looking at a zebra
I want to go to the zoo
Alright number four on the list
Of the top six nature prescriptions
Prescribed by me
Dr Vaughan Smith
Aspirin toss
Game on the front lawn
With your friends
Whee
Tossing rings
We've got one in studio
Didn't we have fun yesterday
Playing ringtoss
We had fun We're not very good at it No Collectively With your friends. Whee! Tossing rings. We've got one in the studio. Didn't we have fun yesterday playing ring toss?
We had fun.
We're not very good at it.
No.
Collectively.
Fletch's new technique is better.
I haven't tried it.
We were tossing like a frisbee.
It was called a ring toss.
Ring it side, Fletch, flip it up and get it to flip.
Yeah.
It might be against the rules, so I don't know. We were flicking it and it was going to the sides,
but when you throw it straight underarm and it flips over, it could also grab it.
Okay.
Number three on the list of the top six nature prescriptions prescribed by me, Dr. Vaughan Smith.
Antibioticles with a loved one.
Yes.
Is that getting you outside, or just do them on the lawn?
That's all you do.
On the trampoline.
On the trampoline, yeah.
It's just tickles.
It's just the human touch.
Number two on the list
of the top six
nature prescriptions
prescribed by me,
Dr. Vaughan Smith.
Pregna's onion rings.
Onion rings.
How good are onion rings?
Delicious.
What's that got to do
with nature?
Pregna's onion rings.
Because onions
are from nature?
Yeah, onions are from nature.
I'm pretty sure all these fatty foods are the reason people are... It makes you happy. Onion rings. Because onions are from nature. Yeah, I suppose so. You've got to go in and get them.
It's loose.
I'm pretty sure all these fatty foods are the reason people are... It makes you happy.
Does it?
Yeah, temporarily.
And number one on the list of the top six nature prescriptions
prescribed by Dr. Vaughan Smith, oxycod...
This is a hard one to say.
Oxycodinorphin.
Boosting walk beside a river
while eating a banana.
Okay.
So it's endorphins.
Yeah.
But you wanted oxycodone,
but you're not getting it
because that's a very highly addictive,
naughty, naughty painkiller.
So there you go.
Those are my prescriptions to you.
And that is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan, and Hayley.
Well, a Spanish town has joined the growing list of towns that will pay people.
These news headlines are saying Brits will pay British people.
Yeah, right.
I don't know if we can get in on this,
but join the list of small towns that are paying people to go and live there
because they've just got declining populations because they're not
near the coasts.
They're inland, but still
very beautiful. So cute and beautiful.
I'm looking at, but there are even
islands in Italy that are doing this
as well. Yes, please. Which?
Couldn't we all go and just do the show?
What sort of soil have we got?
Oh, are you thinking about tinkering around in
the garden? Yeah. Why? How self-sufficient could we be at this place? What sort of soil have we got? Oh, are you thinking about tinkering around in the garden? Yeah.
Why?
Well, how self-sufficient could we be at this place? What sort of soil have we got?
If it's rocky and infertile, we might be...
Well, this place looks very rocky.
Yeah, that looks rocky.
I don't know if you'd get any trees.
But then you've got the sea there,
so you could live maybe a bit more off the sea.
Maybe you could just go fishing in your off time.
Now, guys, here's an idea.
You know these mornings are sometimes rough?
Yeah, boy.
Right now, in Italy and Spain, it is 9 o'clock in the evening.
Now, we could just relocate.
You'd be easy.
Aaron would be down.
You've got a family to deal with.
But if they're not in.
I do have a family to deal with.
They could just do school on Zoom.
Get in and get out.
Where are we going, Italy or Spain?
Either, we can choose.
We'll just like flip-flop.
Spanish.
There's like a massive list.
And also, a lot of them are offering digital nomad visas.
So if you do want to work remotely, if you've got a job.
Come on.
We joke, but Australian radio breakfast hosts have done entire years with the shows from Italy.
That's what I'm saying.
Guys, we could literally be having
sangria and tapas right now.
And no one would know. Because it's the evening.
You would turn up to work drunk
almost every day. How fun am I?
Why are you saying that with a negative tone?
I was looking at Hayley and then you.
We're really fun when we're drunk.
It's time we shared it with, oh, I think
this is a no-brainer.
See?
We could do things in the morning, have a siesta, I think this is a no-brainer. Literally. See. See.
We could do things in the morning, have a siesta,
get up late for a late dinner.
We would eat dinner.
So there are some places.
You'd hear us eating, slurping spaghetti on the show.
Yeah, yeah.
Bonne journée.
Yeah, yeah.
And then paella.
I'm num, num, num, num, num, num.
Right.
Croatia.
The shrimp that I caught.
Croatia and Cyprus also offering digital nomad visas.
You've just got to have like a certain salary.
Let's go to Croatia.
And then, yeah, you just pay a little fee and you can live there.
Same time in Croatia right now.
Same time.
Same time.
Yeah.
Guys, this would be a great idea.
I think it would be Spain.
Not Croatia or Cyprus. No offence. Well, this would be a great idea. I think it would be Spain. Not Croatia or Cyprus.
No offence.
Oh, Croatia's beautiful.
Croatia's beautiful.
Yeah, but Cyprus, Vaughan, Cyprus has a have you been paying attention.
They do.
They do.
They are the third.
It's Australia, New Zealand and Cyprus.
Who's the you on Cyprus have you been paying attention?
They've got a woman.
In Australia, it's Tom Gleisner, who's a man.
In Cyprus, it's a woman who's tall, stunning, and brunette.
And I think they've gone more the me route.
Right.
They've modelled that host on you, that TV host on you.
And the Vaughan is like a big beer guy.
Oh, okay.
Like kind of a thick daddy-o.
Once you've found your front right-hand seat.
Oh, we simply must go to Cyprus.
Who's there, Ursula Carlson?
I think they've got two men.
This is really weird.
There's very little.
The only proof that have you been paying attention
to Cyprus even existed was because
have you been paying attention to Australia?
It talked about it.
Oh, really?
There's no clips on YouTube or online.
Yeah, we've had clips before.
Now, I'll show you.
So here's a photo.
That's Vaughn at the front.
Now, he's got sort of a trendy man bun.
Oh.
He's got hair, has he?
Oh, yeah, okay.
Yeah, right.
Also, if you go to Cyprus,
isn't it contentious with turkey?
Aren't they a little bit at loggerheads?
Look, I just think we do the show from Spain because there's sangria.
Yeah, I think Spain, yeah.
And siestas.
And that Estrella lager that I really like.
Oh, yeah, beautiful.
That's such a good lager.
That's a great lager.
Well, if you want to move to Europe, places are paying you to live there,
but you will probably have to live in the middle of nowhere
in an old stone 12th century house.
Churros, churros.
Oh, yeah, okay, yeah.
Oh, Spaniards.
Yeah, Spaniards.
Gazpacho!
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Woo!
Well, it's time for Hayleyan news.
Yeah.
So, you know me,
I'm constantly trying to convince you two that the aliens are here.
Not only do they exist, but they are here.
Now I originally teased that this was from
America, but it is slightly closer to home.
Is this the Australian cattle farmers?
This is the Australian cattle farmers. Have you heard this?
Yeah, I read about this. I read about this.
Wait, is this the farmer, did you see the farmer that
put his cows to spell high
in a plane to the photo?
No. Did he like put hay?
Did he lay the hay in a certain way
and then the cows were eating it
so it looked like they were saying
hi or meal or something?
Maybe, yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
You can do that with silage.
Kansas farmer cows say hi to SpaceX.
No, this is 2018,
but maybe there was another one.
I saw one in the news this week.
Oh, there's no photo.
But yeah, and they all spelt hi.
Right.
That's cute.
Well, this is a farming couple in Australia,
and they rightfully are pointing their fingers at aliens.
After multiple cows, 20 of their cows were brutally mutilated
in the most bizarre way. Lightning. Yeah. No, not lightning. That happened to my dad's cows. 20 of their cows were brutally mutilated in the most bizarre way.
Lightning. Yeah. No, not
lightning. That happened to my dad's cows.
Aliens. Did your dad's cows get
struck by lightning? Yeah, it struck.
They were in like a circle and it was a storm going
back some years, but yeah, one in the middle got struck
and all the ones like around it
got killed. Oh. Yeah, because
that one cow was holding a wire coat hanger.
No, he's playing golf. Yeah, because that one cow was holding a wire coat hanger. No, he's playing golf.
He's playing golf. Yeah, right.
She was playing golf.
Argyle.
She was playing.
Poor timing for a game, isn't it?
You never play golf in a thunderstorm.
No.
No.
Yeah.
Definitely not.
They were playing a little game of Mooney Putt.
Mooney Putt.
That was good.
Yeah, that was good.
So these farmers, Judy and Mick, they were utterly shocked to discover that multiple of their cattle,
20 of their cows had been attacked.
The animals had their udders, ears and tongues removed
with incredible precision.
And however, there was no blood anywhere to be found.
No blood on the ground.
Even though these body parts had been hacked off. there was no blood anywhere to be found. No blood on the ground.
Even though these body parts had been hacked off.
Because aliens would have like special laser cutters, eh?
Aliens, we wouldn't even be able to comprehend what aliens can achieve.
What they did was they would have sucked out the blood to do tests on it.
They said it was like it had been surgically removed.
I certainly couldn't do as neat a job with a very sharp knife.
Well, little by little, there would be blood.
And it definitely wasn't an animal.
There was not blood.
There was not a single drop?
No blood.
And then he said, I thought at first it might have been poisoned when I saw that they were dead and there was no blood.
But then when I noticed that those body parts were missing,
there's no other answer for it than aliens.
Well, there are many answers.
There is no reason nor rhyme.
There is no reason nor rhyme for it to be done this way.
I will say that is quite peculiar.
How are you going to explain it?
I have scrolled down a little bit further.
They were on a very large property and cows were found at various stages of decomposition.
So the no blood or traces of movement could have been the cow died and then the animals came and ate those specific parts.
Right.
No, but they've been sliced off.
They've been sliced off.
Sliced off.
The blood could have gone into the soil by now
because all the skin and stuff's gone off the face,
off the head of the animal.
Yeah, but the animal, no, it's aliens.
How did the animal make such, but the animal, no, it's aliens. How did the animal make
such a perfect incision
or cut to
get the ears and the udders off? Oh, I was just
saying they got eaten off. No, no, no.
They said that it was like so perfectly removed
it can't have been an animal. It's gotta be alien lasers.
It couldn't have been an animal. It definitely
in fact, he said, wasn't an animal.
It's alien lasers.
Just accept it, they an animal. It's alien lasers. Just accept it.
They're here.
Yeah, they're here.
They also said they've witnessed strange lights from time to time on their property at night.
Now, they live in a farm.
There are no street lights.
There are no city lights.
You get this light, they said.
It will jump up and go down, jump up and go down.
That's aliens coming up and down.
They need to get some security cameras out there.
Yeah, get some trowel cameras.
Yeah. Aliens coming up and down. They need to get some security cameras out there. Yeah, get some hunting cameras. They also say that the other cows avoid ones that have been mutilated
and keep their distance.
Because the aliens have infected them.
Oh, yeah, but cows don't do that.
They don't like the smell of other dead cows.
That's why if you're going to do home kill,
you can't do it somewhere where the other cows will be regularly coming and going
because they can smell it and they're scared of it.
Wow.
Well, their local vet.
Probably a predator in the area.
In this case, the predator's an alien.
An alien, exactly.
Because their local vet said, I deal with everything.
Yeah.
I've seen it all.
All creatures great and small.
And I cannot think of any explanation for it.
It's not normal human behaviour or animal behaviour.
But did the vet say aliens?
Well, they said something quite bizarre.
Something quite bizarre.
That falls under the umbrella of aliens, doesn't it?
Yeah, well, if you can't explain it, it's aliens.
It's always weird, though, when aliens come all the way to Earth and then just, like,
get some cows.
Yeah.
But they might be of great value where they're from.
Right.
More value than a human life.
Right.
So they're like, forget the humans.
It's about the cows.
It's about the cows.
We need to take the parts to be able to replicate the cows back home. If that's true, we're screwed.
We've got a lot of cows.
We've got a lot of cows.
We've got some to spare. If they ask nicely,
they can probably take some. Yeah.
What about our milk?
We've got oats and nuts and stuff.
Yeah, all the other milks.
Tinder has announced they're working on a new kind of version of Tinder,
I guess you could call it.
It's currently called Tinder Vault,
and it would be a $500 subscription.
A month or a year? Well, I'm trying to figure that out.
That's got to be a year.
No.
That's got to be a year.
That's insane.
No.
It's a month.
What?
No.
Or you can get it.
You can save by paying $5,000 a year.
What?
Okay, no.
You saved a bit there.
No, no, no, no, no.
Go get a grip.
That's insane.
So it's an ultra expensive subscription offering sort of basically exclusivity.
So it's going to be geared towards, it's sort of like, what's the celebrity one?
Raya.
Raya.
Raya.
But this would be like.
That one you apply.
Yeah, but this would be like, you will only be on it if you're rich because you're paying five thousand dollars a year for it so it's kind of going to make it a little cut out the riffraff
but then like that's so much money so much money so for that you get a priority pass um this i mean
this hasn't been released yet so this is kind of what they're working with right um you get special
status and a priority pass that um will give you more profile boosts
than other Tinder users.
Yeah.
You'll also get a personalized concierge service
that would act as a kind of pickup artist
24-7 advice service.
Wait, so they would write your pickup lines?
Yeah.
So you'd be like,
I've matched with this person,
now over to you.
Yeah.
Over to you at the concierge desk.
Be my personality.
What should I say next?
And then when you finally go on a date with them,
where's the concierge person?
They're going to have to have an earpiece.
Probably be in the messages or something.
Then there's also a premium passport perk that would give users access
to its most active and influential members.
So it'd sort of be like, here's a celeb or here's a hottie.
So they're kind of making a celeb kind of rich tier.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's basically Tinder for rich people.
So much money.
Would you spend...
Because Tinder's free, right?
I've never had it.
Yeah, it's free, yeah.
But you can pay like various amounts.
To get what? Little boosts and stuff? Yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's free, yeah. But you can pay like various amounts. To get what? Little
boosts and stuff? Yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff.
Oh no.
I think they're trying to take away from the
image that Tinder is this like
hookup app. Right.
They want to distance themselves from
pretty sure somebody. Wait, now tell me about the paying?
The paying?
Can we go back to the paying?
For example, if you're on a basic
Standard free one you only get X amount of swipes
A day
And then you have to wait until the next day
Like Candy Crush
You're out of energy
You're out of energy
So you have to wait until the next day
Is it like Fortnite can you pay to buy some more skins
You can change what you look like
You can pay and then you just swipe unlimited Really? What else can you pay to buy some more skins? Yeah. You can change what you look like. You can pay and then you just swipe unlimited.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What else can you pay for on there?
Don't know.
Do you guys know what else you can pay for?
Like boosting?
Oh, Jared, thumbs up.
In a relationship, but obviously from his time.
No, I just Googled it.
Okay.
Let's never forget during the pandemic when you were single,
you racked up 240 likes
400 wasn't it?
Absolutely, casanova
Yeah, high numbers
Yeah, high numbers
Good for you mate
Didn't close the deal, but it's fine
So to pay for Tinder, you get unlimited likes
You can match with people from like
different countries
What are you doing that for?
I remember when they were talking about that If you're going, say you were off to
Brizzy for the weekend.
Change it to Brizzy and be like, I'm in
Brizzy for the weekend. Organise a hookup
ahead of time.
And then you can rewind.
So if you accidentally say yeah
or nah on someone, you can be like, oh, go back.
Oh my god, because I did this. I lost
one of my friend's husband.
What do you mean?
So we were swiping one day.
This is my friend Shari.
I'm sure she won't mind.
She does my hair.
Shout out.
We were swiping one day, and I was having a little look,
and I was like, good Lord.
And then we saw this person.
We were like, oh, my God, that's him.
He loves the ocean.
She loves the ocean.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God, the ocean.
Yeah, we were like this is like this is happening
and I went yes
and I swiped
and I went the wrong way
because I don't know
how to use Tinder
and then she was like
that was it
that was him
oh start again
we could feel it
we could feel it
it was him
you lost him
I lost him
and you never got to go back
and undo it
no
does she still bring that up
to this day
every day
okay
play ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley bloody disgusting Does she still bring that up to this day? Every day. Okay.
What are you discussing?
To tell you.
What?
I'm discussing to tell you that some defibrillators have been stolen.
Defribulators?
Defibrillators.
Defibrillators.
The R falls after the B.
Defibrillators.
Defibrillators.
Yeah.
Refrigerators.
Oh my God, they're stealing fridges?
They're stealing the refrigerators that shock your cheese.
The things that they,
on the medical shows,
they're always like,
clear.
Clear.
Rub, rub, rub.
Vush, doosh.
Shock you back to life.
I wonder what it feels like, eh?
Well, you probably won't feel it, would you?
Because these ones,
you're like, you're dead or something. If you put these ones You're like You're dead or something
These ones
Are the ones that
In the public
Yes
You can't accidentally
Use them on somebody
Because it checks for the heart rate
And if there's a heart rate
It won't shock them
But if there's nothing
Yeah right
It'll go
So you couldn't just prank your mate
Who's sleeping
Kind of drunk on the couch
Nah
You probably can't imagine
Probably have to chuck it on a pork roast
Yeah right
And then the pork With the skin on Because you're going to crackle it later But every now and then Your pork crackling's got a nipple on it Oh my God, imagine. Probably have to chuck it on a pork roast. Yeah, right.
And then the pork with the skin on because you're going to crackle it later,
but every now and then your pork crackling's got a nipple on it, doesn't it?
Yes.
It's got a no-yo-no-yuck-a-chewy little nip. Oh, that's the pits.
And then they chuck it on that and it might shock it.
Yeah, right.
Right, detected.
But then the pork roast can't tell you what it felt like,
so that's a waste of time and that's a defibrillator
and stop buggering around with them, please.
Yes.
So four of them have been stolen in Napier.
What would you do with that?
Napier's gone through enough.
Yeah.
God has it what?
Leave Napier alone.
So this is a great example of something that has no use to the person who's stolen it.
Yes.
Well, unless they're reselling them because they'd be worth a bit of money, wouldn't they?
So what's the second-hand market for defibrillators?
Yeah, exactly.
You're going to be caught out.
I think it's something you're buying new.
I don't want to shame anybody out there for a second-hand.
I'm going to have a look.
This is like my Facebook marketplace.
When you see a tool and it's still in its plastic wrapping
and they're like unwanted gift.
You're like bullshit.
Oh, my God.
You're like you ram rated the tool shed.
Yeah.
There's so many on Trade Me.
Really?
Yeah.
But they'll be legitimately like imported or parallel imported.
Yeah.
And signs.
There's one of the backpack ones, you know,
that they've got in the backpack. Oh, yeah. So if you were like a paramedic or something. You know, they've got that in the backpack.
So if you were like a paramedic or
something. Backpack, backpack.
Dora the Explorer, what's in the backpack?
Take that map. But they're expensive.
Yeah. Yeah, so they've been stolen.
But like for what purpose? Is there something
in them?
Oh, like how they steal catalytic
converters or something. Yeah, catalytic converters.
Catalytic converters. Catalytic.
That's where you plug it in your car and it becomes a Cadillac.
It converts to a Cadillac.
Yeah, that's what I was meaning.
But they've been stolen and it got me to
thinking, you know, it's always weird when things
get stolen and you're like, why did they steal that?
Of all
things. Like when someone's
house gets broken into and they take like a photo album
Why would you take that?
Why are you personally attacking me like that?
You don't need that
It means nothing to you
Very unusual things that were stolen
They leave big things of value
And then take odd things
Leave the TV and take the
Touch lamp
You know those lamps that you touch I don't trust those, I don't trust a touch take the touch lamp. You know, those lamps that you touch.
I don't trust those.
I don't trust a touch lamp.
The touch lamp.
I've had one, but I've never seen one that looks anything other than like.
The glass with the flowery.
Terrible.
There's not a nice looking touch lamp.
I just don't trust, because I've been in a few hotels I've been in,
and I'm like, oh, no, I don't like it.
Because I just feel like it's going to electrify me.
It's going to shock you.
And people are in the bloody hotel bed doing God knows what with their hands.
Exactly.
And then you're going to be tapping the light off.
You think you're going to get a shock.
See, I'd get one for beside my bed.
No, not a shock, just smear their grossness on it.
Oh, you're saying, yeah, but that's the same with everything that needs to be touched.
Door handles, light switches.
Yeah.
I'd rather be able to tap it with my knuckle to turn it on
than have to flick a switch with my finger.
Oh, yeah, I suppose so, actually.
If there was a door where you could tap it and it would open itself,
that'd be good too.
Well, could we take some calls this morning?
Has someone stolen something from you, like burglarised you,
and taken something weird, and you're just like,
why did they steal that?
Or get your car broken into.
My car got broken into once because, well, not broken into, it didn't lock.
And then someone worked that out.
Yeah.
And they left the radio and everything.
It was such a bad car, though.
And they stole, I've always got a clean set of undies in the car.
So they stole my clean set of undies, which is gross.
Wait, where do you keep the clean set of undies in the Audi?
No, I haven't yet.
The Audi's got an undies drawer.
It comes with a full wardrobe.
Yeah.
And they stole that and my Black Eyed Peas Ella Funk CD.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Don't funk with my heart.
I'm going to take you home.
Yeah, they stole that.
Arguably one of the best albums of the 2000s.
Well, not arguably their best.
Their best, yeah.
For sure.
Yeah.
But yeah, devastating.
Great undies, great album.
Gone.
And they took your undies.
Yeah, they left the car, which they could have just taken.
Okay, well, give us a call.
0800 DALZITM.
You can text as well.
9696.
What's the weirdest thing that's been stolen?
You know, why did you steal that?
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn
and Hayley. Talking about the weirdest things
that were stolen when either your car or your
house or your flat was broken into. But I will
say, it's important we make a correction
here. Yeah, and a sincere apology
as well. You said you had your Black Eyed Peas
album, A La Funk,
stolen from my car. And then we
sung, no, no, no, no,
don't funk with my heart.
We have been messaged
in, correction please,
the song you were singing, Don't Funk With My
Heart, was actually from
the album Monkey Business. Of course it was.
Of course it was. We're idiots.
What damn
fools. Give us a call. Sarah's're idiots. What damn fools.
Give us a call.
Sarah's called through.
What weird things were stolen?
Christmas lights.
Christmas lights?
Wait, like from your house?
Well, it happened twice in like two weeks.
So the first time it was all the ones that Dad had like put through the front garden.
Oh, God.
How annoyed was Dad? He would have been livid. Oh, God. And they were the only ones. How annoyed was Dad?
He would have been livid.
Oh, no, he was livid.
And then it happened again,
and they stole the ones up around the house.
So they had to actually, like, reach into the garage
where the window was just full of...
Oh, we don't like that.
So they were so ballsy, like, breaking in.
Like, I just...
Yeah.
It's so creepy.
So, yeah, the second time he was so pissed off that he went out and brought cameras to put everywhere. Yeah just, ugh. Yeah. It's so creepy. So yeah, the second time
he was so pissed off
that he went out
and brought cameras
to put everywhere.
Yeah, fair enough.
Yeah, I would too.
I would too.
What kind of Grinch
steals Christmas lights?
What are you going to do
with Christmas lights?
Literally the Grinch.
Literally.
Sarah, thanks.
You called Rebecca.
What weird thing was stolen?
Well, my car got stolen, but then along with the car,
there was over $1,000 worth of dog coats that I had ordered from Amazon.
Dog coats?
Sorry, sorry.
Were these coats personally for you?
No, no, for the dogs, for winter.
But how many dog coats do you get for $1,000?
A lot.
How many dogs do you have?
Wait, do you like to have different options each day?
Wait, so you've got one dog and you spend $1,000 on different coats for this dog?
With matching collars and leaps.
I think Rebecca sounds like a crazy dog person.
I am a crazy dog person.
I can hear it.
You can hear it in the tone of her voice.
The thing is, though, they couldn't use the coats because I had the coats.
Because they came from Amazon in America, I thought because I'd had the coats because they came from
Amazon in America.
I thought that I'd measured
the dog properly.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
So I thought,
okay, what am I going to do?
So I went to Rose's Alterations
in Epsom.
Wait, you're getting a coat
altered for your dog?
Not coat, coat suits.
Coat, plural.
$1,000 worth of coats
with matching colours.
Yeah.
Altered to fit the wee dog and they still don't fit him.
What kind of dog?
She said wee dog.
I've got an image now.
It's a pommy, isn't it?
No, it's a Jack Russell.
Rescue Jack Russell.
Rescue, I love it.
We're all fans of rescue.
We've all got rescue animals.
No, we don't all have rescue animals.
We've got rescue animals.
I told you I rescued my cat from the breeder and paid her a lot of money.
Yeah.
Sort of a hostage negotiation sort of situation.
And ended up with a purebred pussycat.
Of course you did.
Yeah.
Clay ZM's Fletch for the Daily.
Clay ZM.
Talking about the unusual things that were stolen in like a break-in to your car or your
flat or your house.
The things you're just like, why'd they steal that?
Yeah, that's a pain for me.
That's why I always think when people steal wallets and you're like, I've literally just
cancelled all my cards.
The admin.
There's no cash in there.
And the amount of admin to me to get another bloody countdown card and another life pharmacy.
It's like, oh.
But don't leave your wallet in the car.
How often are you using your Life Pharmacy card?
Regularly.
All the time.
Literally regularly.
Also, get the app StoCard and just put all your cards on your phone. Oh, I got it, but I didn't enjoy it.
It was not, I didn't like it.
It's not to be enjoyed.
It's a purely practical app.
No.
You literally can open it on your watch and scan in.
Do I still have it?
StoCard.
No, I deleted it.
I never used it.
Some messages in.
My parents' house got broken into.
They stole a team's worth of netball track suits,
fake flowers, and a drawer out of the freezer.
The drawer out of the freezer.
See, that's just a pain.
Was there meat in the drawer?
It just says drawer.
Maybe there was some mixed veg and some mints.
Someone had the charger for their Satisfyer Pro 2 stolen. Just the charger.
You bastard.
Would you trust another generic
charger just to charge that?
No, because they're special. They've got a little two-prong
thing to the bottom. Magnetic sitch.
Oh, okay. That's how they get you.
Yeah. It's not charged off the jug cord.
No, you can't.
It's a generator, isn't it?
What we always used to call the Sony plugs that looked like an eight.
Oh, yeah, they were annoying, weren't they?
They were in everything.
Kate, what was the annoying thing that was stolen from you?
So my car was broken into,
and my car stereo had this, like, faceplate that you could pop off.
Yes.
Like for security purposes,
and obviously I didn't take it off that night.
Yeah.
So they just stole the faceplate.
Not the stereo,
just the faceplate.
No!
Maybe it was their first time
and they thought
that was the radio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then what,
they get it home
and they're like,
why isn't it playing?
Trying to shove it
onto the car.
Why is it not working?
Thanks for your call, Kate.
Kath,
what was the weird,
unusual thing
that was stolen?
So about 30 years ago, hubbies, you got stolen.
Yeah.
And they stole the mags and the low-profile tyres,
which we expected.
And then when we got it back,
they'd taken the interior light bulb.
God, that's so annoying.
Really annoying.
You've got no idea, Hayley.
And we've got a weird thing.
We'll just pop down to Repco and get a new one.
Of course.
It took us six months to find a replacement light bulb.
Oh, my God.
So that's why they stole it.
Because they obviously couldn't find one at Repco either.
Kath, amazing. Thanks for your call't find one at Repco either. Kev, amazing things you call.
A couple of messages to finish.
I had just got a new car and I'd bought a brand new car alarm.
It was sitting in its box in the boot, yet it was getting installed the next day.
My car got broken into.
They stole the car alarm.
Oh, that's so annoying.
Is that ironic?
Isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
They stole my mall parking permit from my window,
but it had like a number on it that was associated to me,
so if they ever used it, it would be obvious that it was mine.
Yeah, right.
Somebody said...
Someone didn't even steal my whole undies.
They just cut the part out that they wanted.
What?
Off the washing line. Yeah, they came in. It must have been in the night. Cut? Undies. They just cut the part out that they wanted. Oh! What?
Off the washing line.
Yeah, they came in, it must have been in the night,
and they just cut the crutch out of the undies
and left the waistband in front and back.
Take the whole undies.
If you're going to do it.
Take the whole undies.
Take the whole undies.
Play.
ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, the movie is out today.
It is called Air.
It's the whole story of how Michael Jordan became, you know,
the face of Nike and Nike Air Jordans were born from that movie.
Joining us on the phone now, Matt Damon and Marlon Wayans.
Good morning.
What's happening?
How are you guys doing?
Good.
Very well.
What's happening?
I mean, I've had sushi for breakfast.
I'm feeling a bit sick, to be honest.
Why did you have sushi for breakfast? Well, we get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and so come 9 o'clock-ish breakfast. I'm feeling a bit sick, to be honest. Why did you have sushi for breakfast?
Well, we get up at 4 o'clock in the morning,
and so come 9 o'clock-ish, you sort of feel a bit sick,
and yeah, I don't know.
It's nothing like a little raw fish when you're feeling queasy.
Yeah, salmon are on empty guts.
It's a bit rough, guys.
Have some lox for dinner.
You'll feel way better.
Yeah, I think that'll sort it right out.
Yeah.
I also wanted to say, Matt, I don't know if you know this,
but I think we're actually twins.
I think we share a mother.
Really?
Yeah.
October 8th, you were there?
I was there.
Yeah, I was there.
I was there, I think, a year, a lot earlier than you,
but I was there on October 8th, for sure.
You're telling me you're not 33 years old, Matt Damon?
Boy, I wish.
I remember that birthday like it was yesterday, and it was not yesterday. I will think of you on October 8th, for sure. You're telling me you're not 33 years old, Matt Damon? Boy, I wish. I remember that birthday like it was yesterday,
and it was not yesterday.
I will think of you on October 8th on my birthday and your birthday.
You look 33 to me, Matt.
Thanks, bud.
I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, and Hayley looks 52.
So it is like they're switching around.
Yeah.
They've done the old big swap set.
Who came out first?
We don't know.
Yeah.
Gloves are off. It's done the old big swap set. Who came out first? We don't know. Her gloves are off.
It's the sushi she had for breakfast.
It's aging her prematurely.
It's aging me.
Marlon, you play George Raveling in this story.
As it says in the end, very, very crucial part of the whole Air Jordan deal happening.
But you're in the movie for like five minutes.
Were you expecting to have to do the press junket?
They bribed me, so I said bet.
Right.
Because it's Bateman doing the junket.
We didn't see Bateman's name on the junket list.
Ben and Matt pulled the Boston Boys thing on me.
They're like, you either do this or we break something.
I'm going to play ball.
You don't want to mess with the Boston Boys.
No, not the Boston Boys.
I'm not like a huge basketball fan.
For shame.
Miami Heat for life.
This also doesn't have much basketball itself in it.
It's like the politics of basketball and the family ties and everything
and this amazing story, but it's not a sports movie as such, is it?
No, not really. It's really, you movie as such is it no not really it's really you know
there's kind of a bait and switch because it really turns into a story about really the people
around him uh particularly particularly his mom um and that was really something that came from
mj when ben sat down with him and just said look look what's what's important that we really get
right and he immediately brought up george right? And he immediately brought up George
Raveling. He immediately brought up Howard
who Chris Tucker plays.
And then he talked about
really passionately
about the role of his mom.
And so Ben called me up
and he was like, hey, you know, great news, great
meeting with Michael.
I have a great idea of what we need to
do for the rewrite and the direction
to take the script. He goes, there's only one thing.
He wants Viola Davis to buy his mom. And it's like, you know,
having Viola Davis in your movie is kind of like wanting Michael Jordan to be
on your basketball team. You know,
you can't just kind of call up and get her.
So that was really became our focus because we knew that that's what he
wanted. And if we couldn't get her. So that was really became our focus because we knew that that's what he wanted.
And if we couldn't get her, we probably couldn't make the movie.
So it was really all about Viola for us.
Right.
So once again, Ben and Matt did what the Boston boys do.
They paid all for that.
She couldn't refuse.
I just imagine Viola.
Which is calling her up and begging her and weeping on the phone.
Please, Viola, please.
Because if anyone, Viola Davis were out,
Boston boys, the Boston boys.
For sure.
They're like, you do this movie
or you're going to eat sushi for breakfast.
We're actually being told to wrap it up
because I did waste so much of our time
sharing with you that I had sushi for breakfast.
And for that, I apologize truly.
But the film's so great.
Congratulations.
Yeah, it's an amazing film. Thank you guys.
Really appreciate it. I thought you were
wrapping it up because you needed to run to the ladies.
That as well.
That as well.
Tell you what, that salmon went in
and it is coming out.
Thank you so much guys.
Ea is out in cinemas across New Zealand today.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Last time I'm lying on the floor in the lounge.
I like to lie on the floor in the lounge.
Weird.
I don't like to, because we've got one couch.
The couch is there at 90 degree angle.
Now, if you're first to the lounge, which presumably that means you cooked dinner,
because the person who's last to the lounge is doing the dishes.
If you get to the lounge
first, you get the couch where you can
lie and you just tilt your head five
degrees to the side and you get the perfect TV view.
But if you're on the other couch, you have to
lie on your side. I'm not a huge lie
on my side guy on the couch, so I just
really hard flop straight on the floor.
Sounds like you need a bit of couch angles.
That's our only options, I think. I'm going to be interested to get your hot take on couch angles. No, straight on the floor. Sounds like you need a bit of couch angles. That's our only options
I think. I'm going to be interested to get your hot
take on couch angles. No, you're probably right.
You're probably right. Space-wise and aesthetic-wise
and a bit of feng shui.
You've fenged it, haven't you?
I've fenged it. So I'm lying on the
floor and my phone starts
ringing. Ring, ring.
What time is this? Ring,
ring. Ten to nine. Ring, ring. What time is this? Ring, ring. 10 to 9.
Ring, ring.
Well, that's late for a call.
That's bedtime.
By the way, I'd been in bed for an hour by that stage.
Had you?
Yeah, I went to bed at 8 o'clock last night.
It was delicious.
You monster.
That's the old 7 o'clock.
No, wait.
It's the old 9 o'clock.
It's the old 9 o'clock, which is why it's so easy to go to bed at 8 o'clock.
So, and I look around, like, whose phone is that?
How very unusual that it's a call, not just like a message time.
And I look at my phone, and it's my phone calling,
and it's my mother calling from her phone.
Uh-oh.
Now, my mother mostly calls through Facebook Messenger.
Right.
Because she'll do video chat and have a chat to the kids and stuff.
Yeah.
But she calls, and I'm like, I answered.
That's immediately.
10 to 9, Tuesday
night, cell phone to cell phone.
Someone's dead.
Have you ever had that thing where you get a late
night call from a parent but you've missed
it and you wake up in the morning or like the middle of the night
and you're like,
who?
How did it happen?
Don't say dad.
And I was like
Hello
And mum's like
Hi are you at home?
Oh I hate that
No she's got the tone all wrong
I know
Yeah I'm at home
It's 10 to 9 on a Tuesday
Where else would I be?
Yeah
Yeah I'm at home
What's up?
She's like
Oh
How was your day?
I was like
She's
Hurry up
Oh she's just
Deliver me the news
Who's dead? Yeah Who's died? How did they die? Because you've still she's... Hurry up. Oh, she's just delivered me the news. Who's dead?
Yeah.
Who's died?
How did they die?
Because you've still got a nan.
I've still got a nan.
So my mind's racing to my 89-year-old grandmother.
Oh, nan.
Yeah.
So it's not...
And then I say, oh, like, what's happening?
And she said, oh, no, nothing much.
But still, like, nothing much.
She's darting around the news.
Darting around the news.
It's like when my dad called me to tell me my nana had died
and I was out for a run.
And he's like, what are you doing?
I was like, I'm out for a run.
He's like, oh, I'll just quickly tell you then.
Oh, no.
Can I let you know nana's passed?
And I was like, what?
What?
Did you finish the run?
Yeah, but I was sweating so much it hid the tears.
But it made the breathing hard.
And so I'm just waiting for it.
And then I'm just like, what are you up to?
And she's just like, oh, well, I'm just ringing about something I saw in the Costco mailer.
Do you get the Costco mailer?
I was like, no.
She's like, but you're a member of Costco.
But she knows you go to bed early.
10 to 9.
Well, I answered the phone, so I assume she just thinks I'm awake.
But, yeah, really weird.
And, oh, there's something in the Costco mailer.
I was like, oh, okay.
Is everything else okay?
Yeah.
And she's like, yeah, it's good.
And I said, I was prepped for the worst news.
Yeah.
And you kind of didn't, when we first started talking,
you were like a little reserved.
And she's like, oh, no, just probably the time I had for dinner.
Oh, I hate that.
And this is where I was like, I beg your pardon.
Because my parents do not get takeaways.
They're a meat and veg.
They're a meat and veg.
Yeah.
But they are getting their house, the inside of their house painted at the moment. They finally had the and veg. They're a meat and veg. Yeah. But they are getting
their house,
the inside of their house
painted at the moment.
They've finally had
the asbestos ceilings removed.
Oh, that's good.
Hopefully that hasn't
And do you know the real crime?
They're thinking about
getting rid of the carpet.
Oh, that's a carpet.
Oh, no.
Oh, Heather.
The 80s,
it's absolutely perilous.
It's bargain.
Right.
But I said to them
they've got to cut some squares
out from under where
the couches sat
And get it framed
You make a match
Yeah
Because every time I put up a photo
On Instagram
I make my parents place
People are like
Oh my god
Some classic carpet
Yeah
It's the Axminster
It lasts for ages
They're so good
I feel like there were only
The five carpets you could get
In the 60s or 70s
Shag
Brown shag
Orange shag
And the lino
There was only so many
Lino patterns Back in the day as well
And when everybody renovated in the 80s
Everybody ended up with the same lino patterns
Halfway up the wall too
Why not?
Oh my god
Keep the spills off the wall
So I'm just like
I'm a little bit
Like on the back foot
Because I'm just learning now that everybody in my family is still alive
And I assume the worst
I assume someone's going to ask like What what do you mean you had Thai for dinner?
She's like, well, we're getting the house painted so we couldn't boil the spuds because
of the paint.
And so in my mum's mind, if you can't boil the spuds, what are you having for dinner?
You can't.
If there's not boiled spuds.
Right.
If there's not boiled spuds and at least two other vegetables that have been boiled or
steamed.
What the hell are you doing for dinner?
Boiled brock, boiled spuds, boiled carrots.
Carrots.
All the nutrients have been boiled out of them.
Boiled out of them.
You want them to be like brown.
And she's like, well, the painter said we couldn't boil the spuds,
so we thought, and the painter's been going on about how good the Thai
in Morrinsville is.
There's a Thai in Morrinsville?
I think there is now.
And mum's like So you know Twisted
We were worried
If she came back tomorrow
And she'd been recommending this Thai
And we hadn't had the Thai
We'd be hearing about it again
So we went and got the Thai
Delicious
I'm having a look
Morrinsville Thai restaurant
Delicious
She said
And filling
Oh
Oh
Did you have the pan Thai
I said
What did you have
She's like
Couldn't tell you
Something wet She doesn't know Some kind of noodle Something wet And maybe some rice Did you have the pan-tied? I said, what did you have? She's like, couldn't tell you.
Something wet.
Some kind of noodle.
Something wet and maybe some rice.
Oh, now this looks like a great place.
Yeah, it's good.
We've had it before.
This shouldn't be new.
So the Morrinsville's got great tie.
My other, Callum, my mate from Morrinsville just said confirmation that it's great tie.
Great tie.
Here's another reason to go to Morrinsville.
42 fiberglass cows.
One huge fiberglass
cow. The wagon
wheel does monster ice creams and pretty good
donuts and hot cross buns.
And then tie
chalk tie up to another tick in the book for
Morrinsville's tourism. So wait, is Nan dead or
not? Nan's alive and well.
Dad's alive and well
and full and satisfied
after a delicious tie
They're hoping
They can boil the spuds
Again tonight
Because they can't do
Takeaways two nights in a row
Because I floated that
I said what are you
Going to do for takeaways
If you have to have it
Tomorrow night
She's like oh we won't be
No
I don't know what
Bust out the barbecue
Or something
Yeah you have to
Put a pot on the barbie
So you can boil the spuds
If you're listening
And you're like
In your mid to late 60s,
don't freak out your adult kids by calling them late at night.
We're always assuming the worst.
Yeah.
It's a little bit, it's your fault too,
because you made our generation expect the worst.
You made us the cynical, bad news expecting,
never do well that we are. Hey babe, call me when you can.
Yeah.
Why, why, why, why?
When you've got a minute, could you give me a call?
What's happened?
Yeah, don't say that.
Dad's dead.
I'll call you immediately because I assume we've got to start
organising Dad's funeral.
Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Fact of the day, about, I potentially think,
one of the greatest eating competitions of all time.
The hot dog one?
Tacos.
Oh.
This is a great combination of a weird thing to eat heaps of
and weird contestants.
Corn dogs.
One very unusual contestant.
Oysters?
Not oysters.
Marshmallows.
What did I see?
Oh, I read this fact of the day about this well-known charlatan.
I never use it as a fact of the day.
Right.
And he once ate 300 oysters in one sitting.
Oh, no.
Your poor anus.
In, out.
Yeah.
Ugh, yuck.
I mean, I like oysters.
I like oysters.
But 300?
I'd rather do scallops.
How do you have...
Not a bad call.
How do you prefer your oyster?
Why don't you ever have them if I'm at a function
and they're there. Slurp them.
And I'll just slurp them off the thing.
You've got to have like a sort of shallot-y
really like edgy vinaigrette
bright vinaigrette on it.
Punches it out. Have you ever had
deep fried, like battered oysters?
Have you guys ever had a crab
stick?
I'm sorry, but I will take a crab stick over an oyster any day.
Any day.
Okay, call me sophisticated.
That's embarrassing.
I'm not calling you sophisticated.
What's so embarrassing?
Unsophisticated.
Trash, I think.
Wow, after 18 years on our anniversary board.
19 years.
After 19 years.
You're trash.
He can't believe it's lasted. This is why opposites attract. This is what makes us. After 19 years. You're trash. He can't believe it's lasted.
This is why opposites attract.
This is what makes us work.
Because if we get a lot of oysters and some crab sticks,
you'll eat those, I'll eat these.
Exactly.
See, it's how we've lasted 19 years.
Yeah, well.
We're New Zealand's longest lasting radio couple, aren't we?
I think you'll struggle to find a couple that have been together longer.
Wow.
What a bloody landmark. Not landmark.
Milestone. Landmine.
What a couple of landmines.
That's how we met. Clearing landmines with the Princess Diana Foundation.
Wow.
This eating competition took place
in 1919.
104 years
ago. And it's not
held today?
Well, it's not like...
It's more of the fact that it was
man on bird
for this eating competition. This is what
made it amazing. More info, please.
An American
baseball player called Ping Bodie.
Very well known.
Really cool. One of the first Italian-Americans
to really make his name playing baseball.
Babe Ruth went on to, you know,
and various other Italian-Americans have done fantastic things with baseball.
He's 5'8".
He's 195 pounds.
It's a stocky unit.
Stocky unit, yeah.
Heavier set gentleman.
And he was a big eater.
And he's Italian, so he loved eating spaghetti.
Now during a 1919 spring training in Florida when he was playing for the New York Yankees,
he said, I could out eat any animal at the zoo.
And so a local zoo said, we've got an ostrich that will eat all day.
So he said, well, I challenge your ostrich
to a spaghetti eating competition.
Okay.
And it was like a major thing that happened pre-season in 1919
before the Major League Baseball kicked off
that it was like a baseball's coming.
Watch this event.
Ping Bodhi is going to eat more spaghetti than an ostrich.
How many plates of spaghetti do you think he ate?
Four plates and each plate was a round.
Like when they finished the round,
that'd be like ting, ting, ting.
Like it was in a boxing ring.
And they go out to the middle and they'd eat.
So just a dinner plate with like a little pile.
Six.
Pile of spaghetti.
Six.
Well, you said he can out eat.
So I'm going to go 10.
Correct.
10.
So this is how it started going down. The first few rounds were close. Correct. 10? So this is how it started going down.
The first few rounds were close.
Yeah.
And in the opening round,
Bodhi actually threw away his fork and just started using his hands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The ostrich was struggling at the end of round two.
Okay.
But after a short break in the corner with his trainer,
came back at full force for round three,
even eating his handler's pocket watch.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Then the male, the human male,
continued to eat his plate of spaghetti at a faster speed than the ostrich.
It was said before rounds nine and ten, he staggered out, sat down, but still somehow beat the animal in the spaghetti eating competition.
I mean, I like spaghetti.
Yeah, do ostriches like spaghetti?
Well, this ostrich was 10 plates deep at this stage,
so it's fair to say he might not love it, but he certainly could eat it.
Right.
And it was in the 11th round that the ostrich fell to its knees.
Do ostriches have knees?
Look, I'm just going on the accounts of the time.
The ostrich reportedly fell to its knees
and passed out headfirst into the plate of spaghetti
and the referee declared Bodhi the undisputed spaghetti
champion of the world.
Brilliant.
Yeah.
So today's fact of the day is in 1919,
a man took on an ostrich in a spaghetti eating competition.
And he won when the ostrich passed out after 10 plates of spaghetti.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

I bet they use AI. I bet they have. No one does anything for themselves anymore.
Could you say that?
You could say that to chat GTP.
Go through every TripAdvisor and find me the biggest tourist traps.
Yeah, so apparently the one we would use,
somebody messaged me who works in it.
A couple of people messaged me who have been working quite closely with AI.
And apparently the one you can use for free on chat GPT that we have is 3.5.
Four is significantly more advanced.
No.
No, we don't need it.
No.
And they can literally get it to scroll through everything
and like feedback.
Wow.
And pick out words and stuff that are used more often
and like collate people's thoughts.
That's what people did with this.
It must be AI because they have gone through TripAdvisor
and searched for phrases like tourist trap.
Right.
And they have done like this list.
I'm just looking at the world map.
I think there's three to 400,
the list of three to 400 long of tourist traps.
We only have 15 minutes.
I really don't think we can do.
There is only one tourist trap that comes up in the whole world for New Zealand.
Oh, what is it?
It's number 34 on the list. Quite high. So they say, describe a tourist trap as comes up in the whole world for New Zealand. Oh, what is it? And it's number 34 on the list.
Quite high.
So they say,
describe a tourist trap
as once you're there,
you're trapped
and there's only
expensive souvenirs
and expensive food.
Yeah.
And the amount of time
people on TripAdvisor
have said it was a tourist trap
was the Sky Tower
in Auckland.
Oh.
Oh, hey now.
Hey now.
Hey now.
Hey now.
You're a rock star. Don't trip. Oh, we're doing two now, hey now. Hey now. Hey now.
Don't dream it.
Oh, we're doing two now.
There was only one place in Australia that was described as a tourist trap.
What do you think it is?
Bondi.
No.
It is in Sydney, though.
The Sky Tower.
No.
No.
Harbour Bridge.
Darling Harbour.
Darling Harbour.
You can leave Darling Harbour.
Yeah, and there's lots of food options there.
Yeah, but all expensive.
Yeah.
All expensive in Darling Harbour.
So, Jared said, is it Dracula's?
I wouldn't have a bad word said about Dracula's Cabaret and Buffet.
Did you not like Dracula's on the Gold Coast, Jared?
No, I've never been.
Dude, we're going to take you Dracula's.
I've never been.
Have you never been?
I've never been.
You would.
It's basically like a Rocky Horror Picture Show with food and massive drinks.
Let's go.
Fishbowl margaritas.
When we went, I wanted not to like it.
When we walked in, I was immediately challenged.
I know.
I was the same.
I was like, this is just going to be so lame.
I went as a kid.
My parents took us as kids.
We grew up fairly conservatively.
It was wild that our parents took us when we were like 12, 13, and 15 to Dracula's.
It was great.
It was so much fun.
Destination Gold Coast, if you're listening.
We're happy to do a show.
We're happy.
And tell the people about Dracula's.
And there's an Airbnb on the Goldie now where you can go and stay,
and it's Bluey's house.
Wow.
Yeah, you can stay in Bluey's house.
So Gold Coast tourism,
I mean, come on.
We're right in the strip here
and we're not even using AI.
Okay, I'll give you
the top 10
tourist traps in the world.
Thailand,
the floating market.
Have you been there?
Oh, I love the floating market.
It's really cool
but you're kind of stuck
on a boat.
And then they harass you
until you buy something.
Yeah, and then they'll take you somewhere you don't want to go.
And then if you say no, they'll literally float you away into the ocean.
The Niagara Falls next on the list.
I've never been.
Neither.
But I'm guessing once you get there, you're stuck there.
But you are there for a very specific purpose.
You're on a boat.
Yeah.
Next on the list of the biggest tourist traps in the world, tourist-wise,
the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Spent a lot of time on the Royal of the biggest tourist traps in the world, tourist-wise, the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.
Spent a lot of time on the Royal Mile.
Very expensive.
It's where everyone goes if you were going to go to buy a kilt or something.
Everyone's like, go to the Royal Mile, but they'll charge you
because you got on the Royal Mile.
Scotland's Rodeo Drive.
It is.
In Berlin, Checkpoint Charlie.
That kind of neighbourhood.
Very touristy.
A lot of tourist hotels.
Right. That's of neighbourhood. Very touristy. A lot of tourist hotels. Right.
That's World War II. It was the Cold War right when you could go through to the other side.
Yeah, that was where they went through.
That would be interesting. I'd like to go there. Yeah, it's definitely interesting to go to
but you don't feel trapped there because you can
just literally go to another part of Berlin
in the city and you're fine.
What are these people doing being trapped? I don't know.
Maybe Americans. Iceland.
I've never been. Want to go one day.
The Blue Lagoon.
You know those photos you see of people in the...
Yeah, the natural hot pools.
Looks amazing.
Yeah.
Are they saying there's a tourist trap?
Well, once you're there...
Well, it's an island in the middle of the Northern Atlantic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're somewhat trapped there, but you chose to go there.
Yeah.
Why are people wearing such socks?
I don't know.
Like, what are people expecting?
Is Alcatraz on the list?
Yeah.
That is literally
a tourist trap.
Actually, do you know
number one is San Francisco?
But let me get to that.
Next on the list
at three.
Why don't you just tell us
what number one was?
No, I haven't told you
what it is
because what is it?
San Francisco.
No, but we're in San Francisco.
Oh, okay, okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, okay.
Next on the list
and three,
the biggest tourist trap in the world, Dublin, the Temple Bar. I've never okay. Okay. Yeah, okay. Next on the list, and three, the biggest tourist trap in the world,
Dublin, the Temple Bar.
I've never been.
Neither.
Is it some famous bar?
Is that where you kiss the Blinestein?
No, that's different.
Temple Bar, Temple Bus is a street in Dublin.
Oh, right, okay.
It's a busy riverside neighbourhood spread over cobbled pedestrian lanes,
crowded pubs, hose lights, road music.
Sounds beautiful. I want to go to all these quirky boutiques, crowded pubs, hose live music. Sounds beautiful.
I want to go to all these quirky boutiques,
stock clothes and crafts by local designers.
Trap me, trap me.
Number two, the biggest tourist trap in the world,
according to TripAdvisor, are reviews, Las Ramblas, Barcelona.
Oh, yes, very expensive on Las Ramblas.
Very big for pickpockets.
You've got to be really careful around there, but beautiful.
But then again...
Pick my pockets, pleasure to be here.
If you feel trapped, just walk off into another neighbourhood.
You're fine.
San Fran, the biggest tourist trap in the world, with tourist trap mentions,
I'd say a third more than number two, Barcelona.
Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
Oh, yeah.
Because I guess you've kind of walked away from the city.
Yeah, but then again.
Whatever happened to predictability?
You're not trapped.
The man, the phenomenon.
The man, the phenomenon.
It's on the Full House intro.
Well, not Fisherman's Wharf.
Yeah, it is.
Fisherman's Wharf is.
Is it?
Yeah, yeah.
And there's always seals and stuff playing down by the water.
Yeah, but again, like, you're not trap-trapped.
Nah, I thought it would be like more cages and nets and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, there's a bubblegum shrimp down there.
Yeah.
Oh, we simply must go.
San Francisco tourism, if you're listening.
Do the right thing.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Ah, well, it's not happening here.
I baited you in before with talking about the Kiwi Kids Triathlon
because it's something we're all familiar with.
But this is in the United States of America in North Carolina,
which has kind of got to be top five craziest U.S. states.
It's up there, eh?
Yeah.
Florida.
I mean, there's a lot of them.
Florida number one.
Name a non-crazy state.
Maine.
I mean I
have no grounds
to argue with you
Maine
You don't know
You don't know
It's really
They like
It's cold
and there's lots of crabbing
Alright
and fishing boats
You told me
Maine
What have you
Wait
I just searched dumb laws
In Waterville, Maine
it's illegal to blow
one's nose in public
Oh Yeah I like that That makes sense No but sometimes if I'm like Go into the shame corner Oh, in Waterville, Maine, it's illegal to blow one's nose in public. Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Yeah, I like that.
That makes sense.
No, but sometimes if I'm like... Go into the shame corner to blow your nose.
Well, this is in North Carolina.
Apparently three state senators have introduced a bill.
I mean, they've got nothing better to do than to eliminate participation trophies
awarded to children who play recreational sports.
Oh, come on now.
Now, I grew up very competitively.
Same.
With competitive piano and marching and stuff.
But, you know.
We all would have grown up without participation awards, right?
I think we had participation at, like, primary school.
But there was, like, one participation award.
You didn't win.
Not everybody got a medal or a certificate for doing a race.
There was first, second, third, and then participation.
And it wasn't always fourth, but it was somebody who the teachers were like, they gave it their
best, but they were never going to win.
But they need to be recognized for the extreme effort that's been put into this.
Whereas now, even if you do a half marathon as an adult, everybody gets a medal.
Yeah, but that's an undertaking.
Yeah, and to be fair, if you finish a marathon,
whether you came first or last, good for you.
Good for you.
Your nipples are bleeding.
I agree.
You've got a lot of chafe.
Your toenails have decided that they no longer want to be part of your foot.
You deserve a medal.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have any participation.
I'm a winner.
But I still believe that we should have them.
Didn't you come second at Marching Nationals?
Yeah, but that's silver.
That's a silver medal.
That's something.
Yeah, it's not participation.
But if you'd lost,
would you have been happy
with the medal?
No.
No.
I would have deserved it.
Right, so you think
you could have earned it.
Right.
Where were these guys from?
It's old mates, right?
Old mates.
White mates.
And they say,
any recreational sport
in a league that is operated
by local government
should no longer have participation,
trophies, medals or ribbons.
It is.
I mean, there is the argument that it is,
it's not bringing winners though, is it?
Because everyone's a winner.
Everyone's a winner.
Everyone's not a winner.
Everyone participated.
It's an award for taking part in something
when taking part wasn't compulsory.
Yeah.
But the participation is, you've done it and well done for you.
You might not have won, but hell, you got out there and you did it.
But it's not life, is it?
But there's still a first, second, and third.
Yeah, but it's not life.
If you're a loser, you don't get anything.
No, you don't.
And so it's teaching kids that you're going to get something.
But it doesn't hold as much value as first, second and third,
but it is saying well done for choosing to do this.
Yeah.
You chose to do this.
Does it cost to enter the Kiwi Kids Triathlon,
the Weet-Bix Kiwi Kids Triathlon?
No, I don't think so.
Or do you just turn up?
Do you have to register?
Kiwi.
I never did it.
It was...
No, it was kind of post.
We jumped right for heart.
I tell you what,
we jumped the shit out of those ropes for our hearts.
And I tell you what,
healthy heart in here, I think.
Did you get an award medal for that?
Did you get a participation?
No, I think you got a certificate saying you took part,
which is pretty much just a participation.
Participation.
Precipitation.
Precipitation.
Yeah.
It rained a lot in the 80s and 90s.
Yeah.
Participation medal before there were participation medals
because printing cost a fortune back then.
Did the ink.
Looking at the website,
Sanitarium Triathlon website,
no,
it doesn't look like
you can,
you pay.
You just rock up.
You just get in there,
rock up,
get a certificate.
Oh,
they're not paying taxes,
at least they do.
Beg your pardon?
Hey guys,
apparently being the company's
most successful podcast
isn't enough.
They want us to tell people
to tell more of their friends.
So people are clearly liking it
but we have to tell them to tell others to like it.
I would concentrate more on the shitter podcasts that the company makes.
Yeah, same.
You know, the real losers out there.
Same.
No, no, no, we'll just...
Yeah.
Maybe we won't say nice.
Maybe we should even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes.
Yeah.
No, but only after ours.
Yeah, nah, nah, don't do that.
And not more than ours.
Yeah.
Give us a sexy little review though.
ZM's Fletch,
Vaughan and Hayley.
