Starting point is 00:00:31 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
Starting point is 00:00:47 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
Starting point is 00:01:02 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.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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.
Starting point is 00:01:35 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...
Starting point is 00:01:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:00 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?
Starting point is 00:02:15 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...
Starting point is 00:02:28 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.
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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...
Starting point is 00:03:40 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,
Starting point is 00:03:50 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.
Starting point is 00:04:00 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?
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:27 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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
Starting point is 00:04:50 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,
Starting point is 00:04:58 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.
Starting point is 00:05:12 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.
Starting point is 00:05:24 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
Starting point is 00:05:32 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.
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:54 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?
Starting point is 00:06:08 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?
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 They're like, stop it, Apple. Stop it. Hayley just AirDropped from your photo. Thanks. Thanks for that. Do you know
Starting point is 00:06:45 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
Starting point is 00:06:53 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
Starting point is 00:07:01 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.
Starting point is 00:07:16 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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
Starting point is 00:07:52 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.
Starting point is 00:08:08 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 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.
Starting point is 00:08:52 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.
Starting point is 00:09:06 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.
Starting point is 00:09:31 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.
Starting point is 00:09:44 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
Starting point is 00:09:57 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.
Starting point is 00:10:06 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.
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:28 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.
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:12 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.
Starting point is 00:11:25 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 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
Starting point is 00:11:55 Apparently Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley's Fletchford and Hayley's Silly little po Silly little po It is so silly silly silly That the silly little po Silly Little Pole. Fijohas. Yes or no.
Starting point is 00:12:21 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,
Starting point is 00:12:41 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?
Starting point is 00:12:54 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...
Starting point is 00:13:06 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.
Starting point is 00:13:18 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...
Starting point is 00:13:39 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.
Starting point is 00:13:51 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.
Starting point is 00:14:03 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?
Starting point is 00:14:17 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:37 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.

Starting point is 00:15:13 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,
Starting point is 00:15:26 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.
Starting point is 00:15:44 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
Starting point is 00:15:58 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

Starting point is 00:16:19 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:39 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.
Starting point is 00:16:52 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.
Starting point is 00:17:05 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.
Starting point is 00:17:15 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:51 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.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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.
Starting point is 00:18:23 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,
Starting point is 00:18:31 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,
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:00 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.
Starting point is 00:19:24 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.
Starting point is 00:19:46 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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.
Starting point is 00:20:12 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.
Starting point is 00:20:37 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
Starting point is 00:20:51 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:24 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.
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.
Starting point is 00:21:57 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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,
Starting point is 00:22:31 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.
Starting point is 00:22:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:33 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.

Starting point is 00:25:59 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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?
Starting point is 00:26:39 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.
Starting point is 00:26:53 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.
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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?
Starting point is 00:27:54 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.
Starting point is 00:28:09 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.
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:37 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.
Starting point is 00:28:49 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.
Starting point is 00:29:04 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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?
Starting point is 00:30:04 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,
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:35 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.
Starting point is 00:30:52 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
Starting point is 00:31:09 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,
Starting point is 00:31:21 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.
Starting point is 00:31:38 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
Starting point is 00:31:57 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.
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:20 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.
Starting point is 00:32:44 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.
Starting point is 00:33:09 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.
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 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
Starting point is 00:34:05 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.
Starting point is 00:34:22 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.
Starting point is 00:34:35 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.
Starting point is 00:34:54 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.
Starting point is 00:35:08 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.
Starting point is 00:35:21 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.
Starting point is 00:35:37 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.
Starting point is 00:35:50 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,
Starting point is 00:36:16 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.
Starting point is 00:36:30 No. It's a month. What? No. Or you can get it. You can save by paying $5,000 a year. What? Okay, no.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:36:57 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.
Starting point is 00:37:29 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,
Starting point is 00:37:44 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:17 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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
Starting point is 00:38:46 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
Starting point is 00:39:01 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?
Starting point is 00:39:12 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
Starting point is 00:39:30 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?
Starting point is 00:39:45 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.
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:13 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.
Starting point is 00:40:24 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
Starting point is 00:40:32 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
Starting point is 00:40:39 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?
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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,
Starting point is 00:41:14 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,
Starting point is 00:41:24 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
Starting point is 00:41:33 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
Starting point is 00:41:40 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.
Starting point is 00:41:53 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.
Starting point is 00:42:06 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.
Starting point is 00:42:23 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.
Starting point is 00:42:41 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?
Starting point is 00:42:52 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, like how they steal catalytic converters or something. Yeah, catalytic converters. Catalytic converters. Catalytic.
Starting point is 00:43:27 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
Starting point is 00:43:43 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
Starting point is 00:43:59 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.
Starting point is 00:44:15 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.
Starting point is 00:44:31 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
Starting point is 00:44:45 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?
Starting point is 00:45:02 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.
Starting point is 00:45:22 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:47:06 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...
Starting point is 00:47:21 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.
Starting point is 00:47:29 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.
Starting point is 00:47:38 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?
Starting point is 00:47:56 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.
Starting point is 00:48:17 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.
Starting point is 00:48:28 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.
Starting point is 00:48:39 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.
Starting point is 00:48:50 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.
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:19 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.
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:49:52 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.
Starting point is 00:50:02 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?
Starting point is 00:50:17 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.
Starting point is 00:50:36 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?
Starting point is 00:50:52 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,
Starting point is 00:51:07 just the faceplate. No! Maybe it was their first time and they thought that was the radio. Yeah. Yeah. And then what,
Starting point is 00:51:14 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,
Starting point is 00:51:20 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,
Starting point is 00:51:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:57 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.
Starting point is 00:52:17 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.
Starting point is 00:52:32 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,
Starting point is 00:52:49 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.
Starting point is 00:53:04 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?
Starting point is 00:53:18 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,
Starting point is 00:53:30 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.
Starting point is 00:53:43 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.
Starting point is 00:53:55 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.
Starting point is 00:54:13 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?
Starting point is 00:54:23 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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.
Starting point is 00:54:59 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
Starting point is 00:55:19 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.
Starting point is 00:55:50 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
Starting point is 00:56:05 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.
Starting point is 00:56:27 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.
Starting point is 00:56:44 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.
Starting point is 00:57:02 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.
Starting point is 00:57:17 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.
Starting point is 00:57:34 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.
Starting point is 00:57:54 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.
Starting point is 00:58:10 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.
Starting point is 00:58:26 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.
Starting point is 00:58:35 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.
Starting point is 00:58:54 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
Starting point is 00:59:09 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?
Starting point is 00:59:24 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
Starting point is 00:59:32 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
Starting point is 00:59:39 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.
Starting point is 00:59:45 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...
Starting point is 00:59:57 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?
Starting point is 01:00:10 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.
Starting point is 01:00:25 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.
Starting point is 01:00:48 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.
Starting point is 01:01:00 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.
Starting point is 01:01:22 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
Starting point is 01:01:28 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.
Starting point is 01:01:36 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
Starting point is 01:01:44 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
Starting point is 01:01:51 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
Starting point is 01:01:57 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
Starting point is 01:02:08 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
Starting point is 01:02:20 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.
Starting point is 01:02:38 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.
Starting point is 01:02:49 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
Starting point is 01:03:07 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
Starting point is 01:03:16 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. Some kind of noodle. Something wet and maybe some rice. Oh, now this looks like a great place. Yeah, it's good.
Starting point is 01:03:33 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
Starting point is 01:03:46 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
Starting point is 01:04:01 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

Starting point is 01:04:31 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?
Starting point is 01:04:43 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.
Starting point is 01:04:57 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.
Starting point is 01:05:31 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.
Starting point is 01:05:43 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.
Starting point is 01:05:56 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.
Starting point is 01:06:10 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.
Starting point is 01:06:29 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.
Starting point is 01:06:39 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.
Starting point is 01:06:52 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.
Starting point is 01:07:08 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?
Starting point is 01:07:23 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.
Starting point is 01:07:39 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.
Starting point is 01:07:59 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.
Starting point is 01:08:27 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.
Starting point is 01:08:46 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.
Starting point is 01:08:57 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,
Starting point is 01:09:09 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.
Starting point is 01:09:24 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.
Starting point is 01:09:56 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.
Starting point is 01:10:18 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.
Starting point is 01:11:08 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.
Starting point is 01:11:27 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
Starting point is 01:11:43 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.
Starting point is 01:11:59 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
Starting point is 01:12:10 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
Starting point is 01:12:19 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.
Starting point is 01:12:28 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.
Starting point is 01:12:40 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.
Starting point is 01:12:50 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?
Starting point is 01:13:04 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.
Starting point is 01:13:16 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.
Starting point is 01:13:33 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.
Starting point is 01:13:45 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,
Starting point is 01:13:56 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.
Starting point is 01:14:04 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.
Starting point is 01:14:19 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.
Starting point is 01:14:37 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.
Starting point is 01:14:50 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.
Starting point is 01:15:06 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.
Starting point is 01:15:17 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?
Starting point is 01:15:25 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.
Starting point is 01:15:34 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.
Starting point is 01:15:41 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.
Starting point is 01:15:47 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,
Starting point is 01:16:01 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.
Starting point is 01:16:18 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.
Starting point is 01:16:36 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.
Starting point is 01:16:49 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.
Starting point is 01:17:02 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.
Starting point is 01:17:16 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.
Starting point is 01:17:36 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
Starting point is 01:17:46 Maine You don't know You don't know It's really They like It's cold and there's lots of crabbing Alright
Starting point is 01:17:53 and fishing boats You told me Maine What have you Wait I just searched dumb laws In Waterville, Maine it's illegal to blow
Starting point is 01:18:02 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.
Starting point is 01:18:15 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?
Starting point is 01:18:34 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.
Starting point is 01:18:56 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.
Starting point is 01:19:10 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.
Starting point is 01:19:24 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.
Starting point is 01:19:31 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.
Starting point is 01:19:40 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,
Starting point is 01:19:52 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.
Starting point is 01:20:04 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.
Starting point is 01:20:22 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?
Starting point is 01:20:34 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.
Starting point is 01:20:42 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.
Starting point is 01:20:54 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,
Starting point is 01:21:06 Sanitarium Triathlon website, no, it doesn't look like you can, you pay. You just rock up. You just get in there, rock up,
Starting point is 01:21:12 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
Starting point is 01:21:19 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.
Starting point is 01:21:31 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.
Starting point is 01:21:42 And not more than ours. Yeah. Give us a sexy little review though. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
