Speaker 4 (00:16):
I can't help but notice Brittan left something quite important
out of the news.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
I actually feel really shunned by that.

Speaker 6 (00:23):
In breaking news it is Hailey Sprouse thirty sixth birthday.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
Thirty said saddaya the worst song on Earth?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, there was? Well, really have you seen the meme?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
That's like it took me how many years to realize
that the camera shouldn't be facing this way versus happy
Birthday should be facing this way. And it's you film
the people who are singing you Happy Birthday. I receive
it rather than you being filmed while getting sung Happy Birthday.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
But it's about me.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, turn the camera around, Haley.

Speaker 6 (00:58):
It's my birthday filming. You look at me, Look at my.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Look at the Literally birthday candles only come in panks
of twenty four, so.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
I gotta wait till forty eight. Yeah, oh man, it's
ages away.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Or you've got twenty four candles, So I mean maybe
take that as a compliment.

Speaker 6 (01:16):
I also have a twenty four year old forehead thanks
to the joys of botox.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
The Top Sex is coming up, Yes, the Top Sex.
This is going to get born and canceled, the top
sex smart tropes to make the Queen hot.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
This is I tell you what.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Our English listeners won't like this because they love the
Royal family. Apart from Organ Markle, Yes, they don't all
love the Royal family. Well, Camella, we don't, Mike and
Kate do ok, the royals royals love the Boby um.
So yeah, the Queen has been dragged into the smart world,

(01:53):
or she has paid tribute to a smart author who's died.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Yeah, well a romance author. But you know that's what
we call our filthiest smart. Yes, I just the idea
of the Queen at the end of the day, not Lizzie.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
We're talking Camilla.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, the Queen at the end of the day reading
like the shoes, getting a hand down the front of
a pen.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
These books what are these books?

Speaker 4 (02:21):
In the perfect size for one hand writing kindles on
in one hand.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Aft.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
While the Top six is coming up next on the show,
A lot of people having to reset their driver's tests
in Auckland because there was a little bit of controversy
pay fle Vorn and Haley police are investigating after vtn
Z and formed eden Z t A a lot of

(02:48):
letters that a group of driver testing officers and an Auckland.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Branch had for years to lay fc.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Watching the NBA and then popping into the t AB.

Speaker 7 (03:01):
No.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
They had for years allegedly been taking payments to pass
people sitting practical drivers tests. Whoa that this is the
kind of bribery in corruption that happens in not of
no third world country.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
I know this list of a note kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, this stuff doesn't happen in New Zealand.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Right, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Apparently now hundreds of people are going to have to
reset driving tests done through the VTNZ. This particular branch,
Ye that it's affected after investigations found suspected serious misconduct
involving five testing officers and this the staff members were
at VTNZ a Highbrook and East Tamaki.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
All in the same one.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
So how much do you reckon that five of them
in the same branch?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, Oh god, how much do you reckon? People were paying?
Oh no, no, no, how much do you reckon? So
three hundred and twenty two people have to reset their test?
How many how much money do you reckon? They were
getting what would you pay to pass? And then also
I failed my first one? But how badly were these

(04:07):
people driving that they couldn't pass? You would have to be.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
So sure you were going to fail the next five
times you sat to pay five times the equivalent, do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like you'd have to be such a terrible driver.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
But then there was also that period, and this covers
it because this goes back a few years where people
could reseit for free, and they changed it because people
weren't trying hard enough to pass.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yes, and so I was clogging up the system.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah yeah, I mean if that's wild, as it's very naughty,
very weary, very.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Naughty, it is actually a matter of life and death
because if we're putting out drives, failed drivers onto our
roads with unwar like, un unearned licenses.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, it's dangerous. Well that's why they're all having to
reset them. So yeah, yeah, and also like to I
don't know if all of these people paid. Maybe they
just set tests with the people that were taking money.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
So it's not like all of those people paid. They
might just be real, But then you'd be annoyed.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
You'd be like, I just didn't normally, but I got
some dickie who was being naughty.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, oh that sucks. Isn't that crazy? That's a wild story.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Do you know?

Speaker 5 (05:19):
What I think is wild?

Speaker 6 (05:20):
Is that once you get your full license, which I
you know, some people can get by the time they're
like eighteen.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Or nineteen or whatever, then you just have it until
you're too.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Old, I know, isn't that And then even when you're
too old.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
It takes ages to get it taken off you. Yeah, Like,
it's crazy that our nineteen year old selves gets this
license and we just assume we're going to be a
good driver all through our thirties, forties, fifties, sixties.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
Yeah, famously we're not. We get worse. My mum's gone.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
But the cars are getting bitter, the cars, like you think,
I'm declining in the rate that the car's picking up,
like it follows the yeah distance, Yeah, hands.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
On the wheel, good eyes forward.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
By the time we're in our seventies and eighties and
shouldn't be driving, the cars will literally drive and park
themselves probably fly into our garage. Nice a little hover
have little little pands on our roof a garage roof.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Oh lovely. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Actually, it's
gonna be nice.

I always got to say Bennie Blanco, Bad Bunny.

Speaker 6 (22:32):
Bad Bunny was announced and everyone was like, no, it's
going to be Taylor Swift. So many whom els And
then then there were rumors that she like pulled out
or this or that because she wasn't going to be
able to own her own footage.

Speaker 3 (22:44):

Speaker 5 (22:47):

Speaker 6 (22:47):
So she released a new album this Friday, Just Gone,
and she's been doing lots of promo for it.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
She went on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
So weird to see her doing like radio interviews and
TV interviews.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
Because she just does.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
I thought, this is where I saw on Graham Norton.
I was like, you don't need to be here. What
are you promoting?

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Like you you'll be fine, You're gonna win world records
or something.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
How they did edit out a question from the Grand
Norton show because someone that was in the audience really
they cut in a question about is she going to
have a baby? Who asked, was it Jody Turner Smith?

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Is it her name?

Speaker 3 (23:29):
She was also like one of the guests on Graham
Norton asking how to do that?

Speaker 5 (23:35):
The words are just.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
The like it's finally been put to rest, this whole
super Bowl thing. And I didn't I don't think many
people know this. I didn't know this until just recently,
but every year Jay Z picks the Super Bowl halftime performance. Yes,
it's like a rock Nation things. I think he's done
it since twenty thirteen.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
So was heavily involved in it.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
So she was on Jimmy Fallon and she addressed these
Super Bowl rumors, like he.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Has always been very good to me.

Speaker 11 (24:02):
Our teams are really close like they sometimes will call
and say, how does she feel about And that's not
like an official offer or an official or like a
conference room conversation, like a.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
Really close how does she feel about it? In general?

Speaker 11 (24:14):
And we've been we're always able to tell him the truth,
which is that, like I am in love with a
guy who does that sport on that actual field, Like
that is violent chess, that is gladiators without swords, that
is dangerous. I am the whole season. I am locked
in on what that man is.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Doing on the field.

Speaker 11 (24:31):
I'm can you imagine if like he's out there every
single week, like putting his life on the line doing
this very dangerous, very high pressure, high intensity sport. And
I'm like, I wonder what my choreo should be. I
think we should do two versus shake it up into
Girl Summer would be great, like it just like this
is and this is nothing to do with Travis.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
He would love for me to do it.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
I'm just too locked in.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
Basically, She's like, this is not my parade, you know
what I mean, Like this is about him, this is
his school and it was never a thing. So I
think that's the thing. It was a casual, like is
she interested. I'm sure she'll be asked every single year.
Maybe I have to do it once they get divorced
or he retires, whichever one comes first.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Play z ms Fletchford And it's.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Christmas Time, which means our food. Yeah, that's what Christmas
is all about. It is the reason for the season.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
And when I think of Christmas, one of the things
I think about is the Cookie Time buckets. And how
lucky are we.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
To have the co founder of Cookie Time, guy Pope Mail.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (25:31):
Welcome, great to be here. Guys.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
I'm expecting this interview.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
My mother is going to hear it and will prompt
her yearly message of what flavor biscuit?

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Do you want this yet? Because I get a bucket
every Christmas from my mum.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
You have to have the buckets mine.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
The one I like has little bits of apricorny. That's
my favorite. What's the little little like apricot chewy chunks
in it?

Speaker 12 (25:50):
You're well for us, you're a little bit of a problem.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Why you know what going for us? She's a little
bit of a problem.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
She's quite problem, to be honest, guy, Just in general. Problem.

Speaker 12 (26:02):
The problem for us is that apricot and cranberry is
flavors are loved, totally loved, yes, by just a small
number of people.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's not one of my faves for a chocolate cranberry.

Speaker 12 (26:17):
Sold caramel or something. It's one of those products which
has a very strong following. If you didn't make it,
you would have a big uproar. Guy, we will write
it exactly, he'll be a right. It's one of the
reasons why over the years we've gone from basically one
flavor to six now, so one of the six.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Flot because you've just brought in the new one, which
we just tried, which is candy cane, and it's it's
it's excellent.

Speaker 12 (26:41):
So each year, each year we do a few things
every year that are new, especially so we always do
a new flavor. So this year it's candy cane. Last
year was brandy snap. Brandy Snap was so popular last
year that we needed to keep it done. We've got
chocolate chip, We've got salted caramel sold caramel was the
first time any flavor in the whole history of cookie

(27:02):
time had beaten chocolate chip. Wow, Okay, it doesn't beat
it now, no, it's but it's still the.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Ends as the guy, do you microwave a little bit?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
I was going to say that for the final question. Okay, yeah,
the ultimate microwaves say that a big cookie?

Speaker 4 (27:19):
What's the ultimate time to micro It's one of New
Zealand's great debates.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah it is, Okay, don't answer.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Can you hit us with some other stats like each
Christmas how many? Like do you know how many you
actually make individual biscuits?

Speaker 5 (27:32):
But all buckets?

Speaker 12 (27:33):
I'd have to do the maths. But we do sell
around about half a million buckets?

Speaker 5 (27:39):
How many?

Speaker 12 (27:43):
So since since nineteen eighty five. Nineteen eighty five we
sold fifteen hundred yeah, and the next year we sold
five thousand. Yeah, okay, and then then it's progressively got
up and then at one point, about maybe ten years ago,
we doubled from two hundred and twenty thousand to five
hundred thousand buckets. So that's one bucket for every four
households in New Zealand. It's I think it is. It

(28:05):
is arguably the most successful or you know, installed food product.

Speaker 6 (28:11):
But it wasn't going to be because then you came along, right,
it got started, didn't and then fell into a bit
of trouble. You were at nineteen at university and went, Okay,
well I'll come and help the help the family, see
what I can do.

Speaker 12 (28:25):
So there's a whole sort of university three going on
here because I was nineteen. I was in my second
year at Mess University doing a business studies course or degree,
and my brothers he started the business and then he
got to the end of that year that I was
in my second year and the business was having a
lot of difficulty, running into cashflow problems. Sales were low.
We went into what we call the summer sales slump,

(28:45):
which is actually what we now know to be sort
of a traditional thing. School's gone holiday.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
And we're all getting shredded as well, you know, yeah, exactly,
cockies all day, all of those things.

Speaker 12 (28:55):
So so I left university. So I'm effectively a university dropout,
and I left university in order to help my brother
get through. And one of the first things that we
did to really get the business back on its feet
was to come up with an idea that would would

(29:16):
which would you know, overcome the summers sales slump, which
was something that happened over nov in December, so clearly
it's a Christmas product and we're not bakers. And I
happened to be opening the post one day and inside
was a booklet from the New Zealandairy Board with a
recipe for a cookie, and I thought, oh, we'll give

(29:37):
that a go. And when it was very unique it
has sort of was crunchy, but a little bit chewy,
you a good flavor, all of those things, and we thought, hey,
this could work. When could we sell this? How could
we sell this? And from that the idea of Christmas
cookies came about and that really was a big turning
point for the business because we now went so dependent
on you know, dairies and ski fields and the other

(29:58):
things that we become used to, which all started to
drop off in sales over the Christmas period. Our Christmas
cookie sellers would in fact be in the throughout right
up until old Age.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Of success one group.

Speaker 12 (30:10):
Yeah, there should be, there should be, There should be.
There's been three three thousand, three thousand university students have
gone through and it's all mentoring. And of course as
I've got older, you know, I fall into the mentoring
group and so I turn up at the conferences and
talk about entrepreneurship and what it takes to be successful

(30:31):
in business and that kind of thing, and so it's
so it's just it's just an amazing process and enjoy
what a joy to work in.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
The world of cookies and joy and Christmas. And also
you guys do charity work as well, because you've got
the Cookie Time Charitable Trust a half million dollars.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
I mean, it's that's amazing.

Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yeah, we we we started that back in two thousand
and three, I think, and so since then we've been
raising money through the Christmas Cookie Campaign. We've raised well
over two and a half million. So we support the
Sexy Foundation have done since their inception, Kids Can Saint John.
We run something called the O s Him Youth Talent Grant,

(31:06):
which is where young New Zealanders under twenty five can
just reach out and say, hey, I'm going on an
overseas trip, sports team or what have you. I'm looking
for funds and we we're that charity that can give
them those funds very easily and quickly, and we support
hundreds every year. Young New Zealander is just going about discovering.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
The gift that makes you feel better when you tuck
into three buckets. Well, I'm actually.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
Charity charity So.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
What is the perfect amount of time to microwave a
big cookie time cookie?

Speaker 12 (31:39):
Well, I think it's thirty seconds, but I'm probably a
little bit more than thirty seconds.

Speaker 9 (31:49):
To do.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, I do twenty for no, so not the little
in New Zealand size no guy, the cookie Ye that's twenty.

Speaker 12 (31:57):
Yeah, there's no doubt that's the best way to eat.

I do have a powerful microwave those, so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:04):

the bait.

Like it really soft and gooey. Oh good stuff.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
And this is my third I was just gonna say,
she's into.

Speaker 4 (32:18):

Also don't like listening to you radio.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
But we've got the cookie time guy here. I love those.

Speaker 6 (32:33):

When you got it, it's set to advanced, it needs
to do and it needs to be set to five

Too tight, but tightened a little bit anyway. But the look.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
Old woman who blew a life pard and decided to

I feel like red Hot Chili Peppers would have been
on there.

Speaker 3 (34:50):

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Bigger issue, Like obviously you look cold, and I'm like
walking out.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
I'm like see you guys, and you can do that
thing like.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
You're gonna drop it and then yeah, yeah, if it
was just glide away.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
Yeah, here's the issue.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Remember how I was like, I've already got a helmet
because I'm going safety, I'm going pads and everything.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
I'm not here to break bones. Yeah, I already had.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
A helmet because I once decided I also wanted to
ride bikes.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Do you do this quite often? You get hobbies in there?

Speaker 6 (35:16):
Yeah, and you know the pilarates thing I talked about
stor been anywayes slash hyperfixations yea, yeah, Yeah, we're actually
I'm doing a competition on the show at the moment
with Lee's mails, where we take your registrations.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Yes, for your momentment phobes.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, things you commit to and then you kind of don't.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
I think there's a medical condition for it that everyone's
being diagnosed with, but I'll just ignore it. But anyway,
so here's the issue that I have, and the question
can I make this helmet hot? Because this was expensive
and I'm just going to pop it on and you
tell me if you think it's cool, close your eyes
or do a sixy revered you're.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
In mind for the listener.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
You are out of ten to seven seven point two
seven point two.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Hang on self, that's a self seven point two. I
mean the helmet could go either way, couldn't it?

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Okay? Three two one? Have a look. No, that's a
horse's helmet.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
That's you look like, what are you riding a horse?
That looks like you're getting into a questrian It does.

Speaker 5 (36:12):
It's too big. It's what's the peak for some sunrays?
To get the sun raise out of my eyes? When
I'm slap slapping.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
The board, the board, I don't think you slept the board.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
The helmet, Yeah, the helmet, it's giving beggar questran vibes.

Speaker 14 (36:29):
Yeah you look if you go like this, yeah, yeah,
you should be.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
You should have got into horses, not skateboards. If I
hold the skateboard, is that cooler.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
You're holding its photop of this?

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Could we?

Speaker 6 (36:46):
And I because I respect the listener and I trust them,
be honest, don't ask people to be honest on social media.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Be honest.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
Can I pull off this helmet or do I need
to go looking for a cooler one because I've already
invested in this years ago?

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Wait? You even thought at the time that was called
for biking?

Speaker 5 (37:05):
I know I had it in my head that it
was much cooler.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
And then when I went to featured out yesterday to
start practicing on slapind Bay a slapinder board, I put
it on and I was quite a ghast at the
before men.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
I mean, it's simply snug and it would protect your
head and fall, and that's that's main purpose.

Speaker 6 (37:25):
But also the main purpose of me learning to skate
was to get hotter.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
And look so far not working.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
You look a little confused, like you weren't quite sure
what you were going to do. Yeah, like you've lost
your horse and you've found a skateboard.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah, my horses run off and all I could find
is is useless skateboard. Yeah yeah, Okay, Well we'll get
a photo up on your HCD on Instagram, and you know, listener,
be honest, but also remember it as my birthday, so
be kind.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
I mean, look, the poll is up Hailey Weather's skateboard
and a equestrian helmet.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
And we've and I think people are being nice because
it's your birthday.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yeah yeah, yeah, can Hailey pull off this helmet?

Speaker 6 (38:05):
I'm going to say, keep shopping, hon because I don't
love the way it looks. Eighty three percent of people
so far have seid that, Yeah, I can pull it off.
It's the one seventeen percent of people are saying, hon
keeps shopping.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Now the challenging bit is to come because you are
going to loan to skate. You've got your board, now
you've got the equestrian helmet.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
Yeah, it's an elbow pir pairs. Elbow pairs.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
They're on their way.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Your mum's worried about the rest.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
She's very concerned about the rest.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
That's a big you've done that snowboarding A Yeah, rest
broke a wrist snowboarding because you just fall and that's
you put your arm, your hands out and that takes
the brunt of the horse.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, pops. The old rest breaks the old risk.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
I'm heavier than ever. I'll tell you what, Well.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
That could could be some mixed repating.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
Yeah, yeah, cush on the tour that you'd get butt pairs.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
I was like, mate, I was born with a couple. Yeah,
I was born with a curating those for a couple
of years.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
So with all this worry, we thought we would ask
this morning, I went one hundred dollars at text A
nine six nine six.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
What went wrong when you took on a new hobby.
Maybe it was an injury or maybe you're just you know,
you invested thousands into it.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
And then you got some chafing and some new places
and you were like, this isn't for me.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
It really stings, you know, that's not that's not for me.
That's not for me.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
And bonus points as well if you did it as
an adult, because I am aware that it's my thirty
six meirth thea today and it's you know, it's a
late time to start skating.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Never stepped foot on a.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
Board, and it just goes with all the other hobbies
you've started, and bonus points as well. If you injured
yourself you gave up and you've got all this equipment.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
Yeah, skate, let me know, hit me up. You know,
I'm always looking out. Or someone just texted me saying,
oh Hailey, watch out for the tailbone.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Okay, that's yeah, full on the assole. You're okay.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
I mean, I wouldn't be mad if you gave this
one up, like it's a bit dangerous.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
I've bought the board, I've bought the board. I'm getting
a lesson.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
You could hang it on your wall and and people
think you skate and.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
That's just my board. The wheel's too clean.

Speaker 5 (01:00:20):
Is it Indonesia?

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
I believe it's in Indonesian island?

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):
Java not Java, is in Java? Good time?

Speaker 3 (01:00:28):

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
That's where I went, a good time dive. You did it.

Speaker 13 (01:00:36):
I did it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
You did it because you lead the way.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
Java Good Java lies between Sumatra and Bali. It's a
volcano dotted island that is at the Yeah, it's a beautiful.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
We simply must go. Let's go tomorrow. We'll be tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Volcanic. I like I love volcanoes when they don't sit
when they're going off. When the most I have.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Coffee being called Java, what's the origins of coffee in
cool Java? I've got to answer this question before we
can move on. I assume it's because it was growing
in the area, but chet Chip, it is just having
a little bit think of that that it comes from
the Indonesian island Java, which made me one of the
major coffee producing regions under Dutch colonial oral classic.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Classic darts, mule, classic Dutch sweeping in there with their
you know, big giant long clog ships when yeah, fantastic wow.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
Windmilling in there to believe, wonderful.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
Wing, wonderful way. But today's it's not It's not Java.
It's Fra Puccino, Okay, owned by starbar Bus. Yeah, invented
and trademarked by Starbucks after acquiring a Boston cafe called
the Coffee Connection in nineteen ninety four. So the Coffee
Connection had a Fray puccino, and Starbucks bought the Coffee
Connection and thus took over the ip for Frey Pucina.

(01:01:54):
So now when you get if you if you're not
at Starbucks and you go somewhere else, it's just a
what are they call.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
So I'm wondering if you can get around it with it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
I've seen it called a frapepe with a.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
So, otherwise known as frozen coffee ice blens or a
frosted chino in someplace.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
I used to love a frappuccino when I was at
high school from Starbucks. I think it's like a Chai
frappuccino or something. Yeah, I know, basic, no, no, no, no, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Just the Chai thing through me that are I was
when you're trying to start drinking coffee when you, you know,
feel like you have to because you've reached a certain age,
and you're like, I've got to drink coffee because everybody
drinks coffee, which is a wacky thing, but such a life.

Speaker 6 (01:02:37):
So fra pay is the actual word, and frat puccino
is what Starbucks.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
Is, a like a Greek and French word meaning.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Wouldn't be trademark, which it's just a word, right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
Any if anybody owns baby chino technically because we call
them fluffies, but Australians calling them baby chinos we call flitchers.

Speaker 5 (01:03:00):
Give vagina china when he gets as mock a china as.

Speaker 4 (01:03:02):
He's a fully grown man who's drying to that former
All Blacks captain Karen red Blanke Democa when we got
a coffee order. Yeah, so technically I'm also drinker, So
technically I'm as manly as the captain.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Thank you, carry on.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):

the word frappuccino.

in a long term relationship, they're married, or they've got
a boyfriend, but they're still always thinking about someone else.

I had.

Speaker 17 (01:07:38):
Actually it was said like I had checked his Facebook,
and I've checked his Instagram and that sort of thing.
But I never got in contact because I didn't know
what happened between us, and I didn't know if I'd
done something wrong or if he just didn't want to
talk to me anymore. But then he got back in contact,
and yeah, he was like, no, I've been thinking about
you a lot, like no one's just ever been the

(01:08:00):
same as you.

Speaker 6 (01:08:03):
And now that you're back together, I know it's fresh,
but like, does it feel the same or feel better.

Thank you for sharing some more tics.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
She's all giggly. I had a fling with a guy

and think, imagine, oh god, here's the one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
That got away.

Speaker 4 (01:11:58):
He's the one that got away on foot after you
were running after him saying stop stop in the name.

Speaker 13 (01:12:03):
Of the law.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
But he was always quicker. I'm married, So people want
a bad boy.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
They can change them. She can change them. I'm going
a gay.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
I'm like, oh, no, I'm married to I'm joking. I'm
married to a woman. But I think about my high
school boyfriend all the time. He's completely off social, so
I've known way of knowing how he is or what
he's up to. The relationship was a little toxic, but
very passionate. Silly kids, but that first love feeling is
something else.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
My one that got away was a crush I had
in high school.

Speaker 4 (01:12:29):
I've been friends with his sister since primary school, sleepovers
and everything I assume with the sister and the brother
was there, so it was a cheeky smirch. He found
me on Facebook twenty years later and now we're happily engaged.

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
Oh that's cutee.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
They are the one that got away is no longer away.
I ended up with them twenty years later, happily together
for four years. Now.

Speaker 3 (01:12:48):
Is it when you hear these stories, you're just sing
all that time's wasted in between?

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
Though? No pretty out there playing the field, okay, skilling
in certain areas. My brother's best friend, we were always
the will they won't they? Somewmer before UNI, we did
do something, but it never went further because my brother
was incredibly opposed to it. But we're both happily married
to other people now, but there's still that chemistry on
the infrequent occasions that we catch up.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
Oh did you read this top text that just came in?
The one my one that got away? We're dating on
and off as teenagers, first real love. He moved away,
tried the long distance thing, but I ended up seeing
someone else and ended up with him for years, but
I'd always think of this other person. Fast forward fifteen
years later. This year, I was at a wee tribute concert.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
We what like a little tribute or there's a band
called Wei.

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
I was at a wee tribute concert out of town
that got a wee bit boring, so we decided to
leave early, and he had to a wee pub. I
bumped into my one that got away and we sat
and talked for hours. All the feelings all came.

Speaker 5 (01:13:52):
Back, but they're the message ins WW.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
You know, for carrying on? Was there a wee hotel room?

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
After? Was there a we and then we.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Wo the daisy? Then you had to get a wee
emergency and get checked for a wee variety of inventions.
We were five.

Her name was Maria I'm giving her the Spanish version
of Maria.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
Her name was Maria Maria.

She gave me one of her marbles when I had none.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Her smelled like apples the family. Yeah, I think that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
Yeah, then her family moved out of town. I'll never
forget that smile. Ran into her and in my early twenties,
I was like Maria. She didn't know who I was.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
Maria Maria, It's Mia, Maria.

Speaker 5 (01:14:44):
How do you solve a problem? Like Maria.

Also, like the longevity of thinking about this person this
whole life.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Sometimes, but then have we heard from anyone that's like,

and then they meet this guy and then they're like,
