Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
Thanks to McCafe, try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee.
Available now at Macca's.
Um, honey today?
Yeah.
For everybody on the team?
Fine honey.
Yeah, finally.
I got the test, I told you, the tutu.
Had to get it tested for tutu.
This is a poison.
It's a poisonous plant.
Those little vinehopper, you know those gross little hard wings?
They almost look like a cross between a fly and a butterfly.
Vinehoppers, they suck the sap out of passion fruit vines.
They look like their wings are made out of those curtains,
those see-through net curtains.
But a hard plastic net Yeah. Neck curtain.
They feed on the vine, and then they poop out this sweet syrup.
The bees mistake for pollen.
They collect it, take it back to the hive.
Now, too much of that in a hive can lead to toxic honey,
and people die from it.
So you could be having a honey on toast and die.
And park it.
So none of that in the honey.
So you get it tested for tutu.
It came back.
We've had that tested.
Still waiting on the unique manuka factor, But you're probably going to eat this honey
For a million dollars
And that's because it's got a high unique Manuka factor
I tell you what
I had some on an Easter barn
And it was bloody delicious
And there's more too
Dylan, my dude
B's Dylan is like
What are you doing this weekend?
I said we're going to a wedding
Back Sunday
He's like oh I'll pop around with the rest of your honey
I was like There's heaps He's like I oh, I'll pop around with the rest of your honey. I was like, big part?
Heaps.
He's like, I've got so much more honey.
Is it wild to say it doesn't taste too sweet?
You know what I mean?
Like honey in itself is sweet.
But you know when you get like a cheap, cheap honey,
and I buy a lot of cheap honey, and you can get it
and you'll be like far out on a piece of toast.
Yeah.
Like a clover, like that creamy clover honey Creamy thick honey
Can get quite sweet
That is literally
All that's happened to that is
It got spun out of its
Casing
And then dribbled down the side
Out of a tap
Into a tub
Good stuff
I mean now
We've got to wait for
As our pulled pork mac and cheese
Oh I know
God we've been waiting
A few months
I'm slowly ticking it off
I'm slowly ticking off
My things that I've promised
We'll see it when We'll leave it when we see it We'll leave it when we see it I'm slowly ticking it off. I'm slowly ticking off my things that I've promised people.
Believe it when we see it.
Believe it when we see it.
Play Zedium's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show.
Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
It's two minutes past six.
It feels like a Friday.
It does feel like a Friday.
We've got the Long Weekend Group Tute coming up this morning at 8 o'clock ahead of the Long Easter Weekend.
Secret Sound is gone.
It went.
I'm really happy that the Secret Sound has gone.
Not so happy that we're now sitting amongst the confetti
that Brian Clint, I guess, neglected to clean up.
You don't like the mess, do you?
Well, I'm actually looking down the side of your computer fletch
in front of you, and there's confetti from years gone by.
Oh, there would be.
Piles of it.
They'll do carbon dating one day on the confetti
hidden behind that computer.
When we come back after the Easter break,
I am going to clean this room.
Have a full spring clean.
Yeah, and I'm going to bring some pot plants in here.
Oh, pot plants. We're going to freshen it up. All right, okay, we're getting a full spring clean. Yeah, and I'm going to bring some pot plants in here. Oh, pot plants.
We're going to freshen it up. Alright, okay.
We're getting the full zhuzh.
And Bree and Clint can get on board and maintain it. I think
some pots and plants would be nice.
We need to work out who's watering them because everybody
will think they need a little water
and then they'll be sloppy. I'll just put little signs.
Don't water me. Do not water me. I'll take
charge. Well, if you missed it yesterday,
the secret sound are flicking through a book.
Like, that's the easiest secret sound in the world.
When I saw it, I was like, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's what it was.
Well, no secret sound today,
but we do have a chance for you to win before seven,
a year's Neon subscription and $250 cash.
It's our scene sleuth.
All thanks to Neon, we're going to act out a movie that is on Neon, a scene.
And if you can correctly guess which one it is, if you get through, you win that prize.
Also soon on the show, another chance for you to win.
We're going to play Bluff or Stuff.
We've got a Kadrona and Tribble Cone early bird.
They've got their sale on at the moment for the early bird
multi-day sale. You can ski
and snowboard for $75 a day, but we've got
a multi-day pass for Kadrona and
Tribble Cone to give away in the next
20 minutes. You had a good idea, Vaughan, of
warming up a bit at the
indoor ski places around the country.
I saw yesterday Kadrona having a
pre-season sale
of all their
ex-hire equipment.
Oh yeah.
So I was thinking
I mean you probably
have to go
and get it
if you're in the area
but you can get like
really really cheap
second hand stuff.
So that when you get there
you're not useless
and you spend a whole day
relearning.
You don't turn up
in your jeans.
Yeah.
Oh no you're turning up in your jeans you're making it. You don't turn up in your jeans. Yeah. Oh, you're turning up in your jeans.
You're making it.
Even if you turn up in your jeans
with some wet weather gear over top.
Oh.
No, no, no.
It's going to rip.
Well, your chance coming up to win
are the top six on the way.
Yes.
The top six things I am now contractually obliged
to say about CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg,
as the company I work for has
signed an agreement with Meta.
It's fantastic.
Okay. So organic, so natural.
That's what they wanted.
So that's what I gave them. Next on the show
though, shoplifting.
Yeah. Someone has been, I didn't
even know this was possible,
fined by the place that
they shoplifted from outside of the law.
Oh.
I did not know this, but this has been in a court of law.
In 2008, this was substantiated by a judge.
So there is a precedent set in a court of law
that you can be fined $300 for shoplifting from a store,
by the store, without a fine can be issued.
That's wild.
Without the police involvement or anything.
Normally, if you got caught shoplifting,
they'd call the police.
The police would arrest you.
Or you'd get trespassed from the store.
Yeah, you'd get trespassed or you would go to court.
They'd deal with the law.
Yeah.
They'd get back, but no, this is-
How would they uphold it?
Outside of the law, I don't know.
So in, oh no, it was 2005, district court in Dunedin,
a judge ruled in favour of night and day,
the like open-run class, the South Island Institution.
It's an institution, absolutely.
It's absolutely, South Island Institution.
And I mean, we all know what Dunedin's like.
That night and day would deal with some absolute...
Oh my God, that night and day.
So the student in question, the reason this is in the news,
a first year psychology student...
This is just recently.
Yep.
Okay.
Went to buy a pie and he said to the friend,
do you have to pay for the sauce?
Because they couldn't see a price on the little sachets of sauce.
Yeah.
90 cents, by the way.
That's what the sauce sells for.
For those little ones that you squeeze.
The ones that you click backwards and go.
Pass off.
They know they've got you.
That's the problem.
I'd rather buy a whole bottle of sauce for five bucks.
And take it to the club.
Pop it in your handbag.
Take it to the club.
Yeah.
Because you might come across,
who knows when you're going to come across some hot chips or some wedges.
Exactly.
Maybe later you're going through McDonald's, you're like, oh my God, I got the sauce.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're like, do you want sauce?
And you're like, yeah, I mean, chuck a couple in, but I mean, I can take care of this myself.
I'm the sauce guy now.
So he thought it was free, so he just popped it in his pocket.
Right.
Paid for the hot food.
Yeah.
Walked out.
Security guards like, stop.
I saw your pocket, that thing.
He's like, oh, okay, I'll pay for it.
I just couldn't see it.
I didn't know if it was a thing. Yeah. And they said, no. I saw your pocket, that thing. He's like, oh, okay, I'll pay for it. I just couldn't see a price. I didn't know if it was a thing.
And they said, no.
He was photographed,
trespassed from the store and given a $300
fine, which he has to pay.
So he didn't know this was a
thing, started talking to a few different people.
Apparently it is.
Went to the student magazine in Dunedin called Critic.
They printed a story about it. He heard
from the owner of the dairy saying,
trespass notice stands.
I'm going to waive the fine.
And he's like, how are you even able to give these fines?
Yeah, but there was a precedent.
Yeah.
Surely that could be, can that be retested?
Surely some law student would love to sink their teeth into this.
I know.
Also imagine being, living in Dunedin and being banned.
From night and day.
From night and day.
All of them or just the Octagon store?
Because there's a few, isn't there?
Yeah, there's a few scattered around.
The Octagon one is the one that I'm thinking of
because that's the one that you sort of stumble into for a hot pie.
The one just off the Octagon.
Yeah.
Down the road a little bit, there's a big corner.
All over, round by student.
Yeah, there's one further down. Yeah. So, apparently road there's also ones all over round by studio. Yeah.
So
apparently this isn't going to change the policy.
The general manager said
no apologies issued and we'll be
issuing fines based on intent not value.
Oh I see. So if you steal something
regardless of the value.
And I'd love to see someone take them.
But wouldn't you like if the dude was
like I thought they were free.
Okay, mate, you've been caught.
I'll pay.
And then he's like, I'll pay.
You just take the money and be like, scram.
Yeah, I haven't lost anything.
That's also what people that get caught shoplifting say.
Yeah.
So likely story.
Right.
I wouldn't know.
I've never shoplifted.
I did accidentally once.
What was that tan that everyone was obsessed with?
Sugar Baby. Oh, yeah. Sugar Baby? Is that everyone was obsessed with? Sugar Baby.
Sugar Baby? Is that it? Yeah, yeah.
The girl's annoying.
Sugar Baby. And I had some in my hand and I was like
I'm going to get tan tonight.
And I was looking around farmers on Cuba Street in Wellington
and then I just walked out and I got halfway up Cuba Street
and I was like, oh shoot, it's in my hand.
Well then you take it back.
I did. I went back because
I was like, I don't want to be banned from farmers.
Yeah.
And then they assumed that I shoplifted, but I just accidentally left without paying.
So you walked in, you just put it back on the shelf and then...
Yeah.
I'm not going to go in and be like, hey, I walked out.
I accidentally walked out.
Wow.
Didn't you accidentally shoplift an avocado once?
Remember that?
Oh, yeah.
I did.
I did because we went to the supermarket. Yeah. And in fact, both times I've shoplifted has avocado once. Remember that? Oh, yeah. I did. I did because we went
to the supermarket.
Yeah.
And in fact,
both times I've shoplifted
has been from New World.
But both times
purely by accident.
One time,
I had so much stuff in my hand,
I put an avocado
on my hoodie pocket.
Oh, yes.
And then I was just like,
arms full.
And then walked out
with a bag.
And then I was like,
what's this?
Because I was walking up the hill
and it was like
thumping up my groin.
And it was a big old avocado.
I thought it was a chuma for a moment there.
So imagine my real life when it was a delicious avocado.
Not a sort of an immediate abscess of sorts.
But when I was a kid, it was the same.
I was reading a, I was at New World at the Mount.
Yeah, right.
And mum was, we were there on holiday and mum was doing the shopping
and I was just walking around reading the TV guide.
Yeah.
Great mag.
Great mag. Great mag.
Handy sized mag.
Good jokes.
That was always the first port of call.
Right to the back to the kids club.
Yeah.
And I was just reading it and we got to the car
and mum's like, did you pay for that?
I was like, oh my God.
She's like, okay, we never talk about this again.
And that's when I knew if I needed help bearing a body,
my mother was the woman to turn to.
Yes.
Because you could always dob her in for the TV guide theft.
Oh, no, I just knew she always had my back.
We just never talk about this.
That became the family motto.
We never talk about this again.
To the grave.
Quite a big difference burying a dead body and stealing a TV guide.
Well, stealing a TV guide's a gateway drug to burying a body.
The essence is the same.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, by principle, it's very much we knew mafia-type family secrets
would go to the grave with us.
People don't start.
People don't come out the gate and murder someone.
No, no, they come out with some light accidental theft.
Admission to parent.
Parent said, I'll do anything for you, my darling.
Right.
And the next thing you know, you're brave.
That's how it starts.
Your parents are helping you bury everybody.
Bluff or stuff.
Snow lying. What's up, game? Bluff or stuff? Snow lying.
What's up, game?
Bluff or stuff?
Snow lying.
We have up for grabs a multi-day pass to Kadrona and Treble Cone to give away.
We're each going to tell you that we are wearing right now a pair of snowboarding pants.
But only one of us is telling the truth.
And you've got to work out who it is.
Miriam, good morning.
Hey.
All right, I'm going to start, Miriam. I am wearing these pants. In fact, I'm going to
turn the mic up. Listen, here's the zip on the pocket.
Oh.
Okay, he's literally...
I might have just stuck your pocket zip there.
No, he's literally zipping his fly up and down, and I think that's not appropriate in the workplace.
It's very inappropriate.
I'm wearing them.
I'll please ask you to stop.
Yeah.
I'm wearing them high-waisted like Christopher Walken.
Yeah.
And Severance.
Friends.
Yeah, there's friends.
He's not wearing them.
He's literally just hooking up his own jeans by the belt loops.
Can you rub your legs together for me?
Yeah, sure.
Hang on a sec.
Hang on a sec. I's a classic snowboarding sound, that one.
Okay, well, he's making a big deal, but they're actually...
Why don't you rub your legs together, Hayley, in the pants?
Well, because these are a different fabric.
They're a slightly...
They're not...
They're like this weird sort of soft fabric.
Hang on, try.
Oh, really?
Yeah, you can try.
Oh, that's a dress.
That's ridiculous.
That's the sound of the pants.
Okay.
They're like a softer snowboard fabric.
I'll run my pant legs together.
No, Vaughn's just picked up a jacket.
Yeah.
Vaughn, Put the jacket down.
All right, Miriam,
which one of us is wearing the pants
in this relationship?
Oh, this is tough.
This is very, very tough.
We're all very good liars.
I'm going to go with Vaughn.
Are you sure about that?
Because I did say,
you heard the zip and the rubbing together.
You heard that, right?
I know.
I know.
I feel like you might be overcompensating that.
Classic.
Okay, so you're going to...
Classic overcompensation.
I've got nothing here going for me.
I have to.
No.
Usually he's overcompensating for what's in his pants,
not the pants.
Miriam, are you going to lock in Vaughan as the answer?
Yes, I think so.
Yep.
That gave me a great delight.
That gave me a great delight. No, it's not. Sorry, Miriam.
Tom, good morning.
How's it going? Good, mate. Who's wearing the
snowboarding pants?
I have a feeling it's Hayley.
Okay, you sure about that?
I am a big pants wearer.
You going to lock in Hayley. Okay, you're sure about that? I am a big pants wearer. Are you going to lock in Hayley?
Yep.
No!
I'm wearing a pretty little dress.
Jonathan, good morning.
Good morning. Who's
wearing the pants, Jonathan? Who's left?
Considering the other
answers, I think I'm going to have to go with Splash.
Yay!
How good was my lying and my sound effects? It was a great lie.
You're usually a terrible liar.
It was pretty convincing.
Hey, Jonathan, we have for you a multi-day pass for Kadrona and Tribal Cone.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much, guys.
All right, you can ski and snowboard from $75 a day.
Kadrona and Tribal Cone's early bird multi-day sale is on now.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I reckon I haven't played Wordle in well over a month.
Yeah, I can't.
I'm probably about the same.
Yeah, I weaned off.
And I think I started getting frustrated because I was getting it in five.
Like five, five, five, five, five, five, five.
My stat was so bad.
So I tapped out. Yeah, same. I'm a deserter, you know what I mean?, five, five, five, five. My stat was so bad. So I tapped out. Yeah.
Same. I'm a deserter,
you know what I mean? I don't want to lose the battle.
I had a two recently. I've had a couple of
threes, but I'm a four guy at heart.
When you're getting fours, fives and sixes,
you don't want to be reminded
at the start of every day that you're a little bit dumb.
Yeah, that you're thick as a plank of wood.
You're getting it.
Yeah, but sometimes you're not. Yeah, sometimes you're just not. So I wood. You're getting it. Yeah, but sometimes you're not.
Yeah, sometimes you're just not.
So I left.
We left.
But Vaughan, you're still playing.
The producers are all still playing Wordle, I believe.
Yes.
Maybe not as much.
Yeah, we've lost the passion.
It's not as ferocious as it once was.
Well, it's still very, very popular.
And most people can't hold out until lunch.
Only 13% of people wait till lunch or after to play.
The majority of people are waking up early in the morning.
Doing it in bed.
Yeah, doing it in bed, do it before they go to work.
But one in six are playing it on the loo while they do a morning ablutions.
Yeah, I don't spend enough time on the loo.
To be on my phone doing stuff.
Yes, but so they say, you don't have to worry about that.
Yeah.
Because you do think that people are going to be sitting there like.
What do you get if you sit on the loo for too long?
Hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids.
Because you're.
You're not concentrating.
You're pulling the weights.
You're pulling.
Pushing down and it's pulling the bum.
Open and it can cause a little.
So people won't get hemorrhoids if they're playing Wordle on the toilet
because most people, 7 in 10, 70% of people take less than 10 minutes
to finish Wordle.
Right, to do a Wordle.
To do a Wordle.
I mean, 10 minutes.
Sometimes I get, some days when I'm playing, I get word blind.
Like I just can't see you'll have a couple of greens,
but you just can't see a possible word that even exists.
I think that's
not that you're going
to get it wrong.
You just do not know
what you can put.
Yeah, I think that's
the biggest reason I gave up.
Just so frustrated
and it just made me
I will say talking
about it again though
I've got a bit of an itching.
I might whittle.
Okay.
I might wait for my
stomach to
Today's a great word.
I laughed because I put it
as just a word to
churn through some more
letters.
You had two.
Three.
Three.
In high use situations, I was like, it will not be this,
but this will use three more letters.
Yeah.
And it was it and I laughed.
Okay.
But maybe I'll wait like one in six people.
Do it on the toilet.
You're doing your revolutions, yeah.
Are we talking about down under?
ZM.
Are they really?
It's 6.39
and we're already like
cocktails, cocktails.
We are having a boozy lunch,
aren't we, today?
Yeah, we are.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you said the IRD
have a ceiling on cocktails.
Well, no, I'm just saying if it's a business lunch,
what is the IRD recommended limit for cocktails at a business lunch?
I don't know.
I mean, isn't it all just 50%?
There's been a change.
Oh, no, that's about thinking of gifting food or drink for Christmas.
Be aware.
Initially, the Inland Revenue said the expenditure incurred
in relation to gifts of food and drink provided off-premises
are 100% deductible
Then they changed their mind
Oh they're
Fun police aren't they
They're potentially subject to a 50%
Deduction limitation rule
It comes under the
Entertainment thing which is 50%
Entertainment expenses
Which were 100% are only
50% 100% deductible,
not liable for fringe benefit tax.
Is it a fringe benefit?
Good.
You're getting tipsy on the company?
At lunchtime?
Yeah.
Maybe we'll see how the night goes.
Man.
See if it's a benefit or not.
Go on the sparkling waters then.
Oh, God.
It just totally changed the whole shape of our afternoon.
Sparkling water is 100% fringe benefit tax
We're doing contacts
From the Panoramic ZM Think Tank
This is the Top 6
Oh hey
There has been a deal signed
This is a deal
Between the company we're from
Look I'm going to be completely open and honest with you
Transparency
Transparency is wildly important here
At NZME
that we've signed a big deal
with Facebook. Right, Meta.
Yeah, Meta. And this
is our second major transaction in big tech
in as many months. Well, we did a
deal with Google. Google, yeah.
Well, that's good because, you know, they use
all the entertainment and media
stories, don't they? The news
and their feeds.. So Google was
money for content.
Yep.
So all of our
hardworking journalists
Yeah, good.
Go write the stories.
You know, it
continues to provide
funding for that.
And then, but this
one with Facebook's
not cash.
It's, we'll provide
funding to support
NZB subscriber
growth and retention.
Okay, right. Welcome to the AGM support NZME subscriber growth and retention. Okay, right.
Welcome to the AGM of NZME.
I am chairman of the board, Vaughan Smith.
Welcome.
Yeah.
You're actually messaging.
I'm on the board.
You were messaging the CEO yesterday, weren't you?
I'm on the board.
You're not on the board.
He was greasing up for holidays.
Well, I needed some time off to do something very cool.
And Ross said you have to ask your manager.
And he was implying he was my manager.
So I went straight to the CEO.
Who I look at less as a manager and more of an equals peer.
Best friend and peer.
You've both got Suzuki Jimnys.
Damn straight.
His other car's a Porsche.
Mine is not.
Mine is not a Porsche. So anyway, I have got car's a Porsche. Mine is not. Mine is not a Porsche.
So anyway, I have got today's top six.
The top six things I'm now contractually obliged to say about our great leader, Mark Zuckerberg.
Okay.
Number six.
He's great at putting on sunscreen.
Yes.
Thorough.
Thorough and even spread.
Yes.
You're going to want that.
Now that he's going to be working with New Zealand even closer.
Well, he's got a fair skin, much like myself,
and you'd be an absolute fool to go out in this harsh sun
without a good lathering.
No melanoma for him.
Do you remember when he came out and he said that was actually like,
I was trying to avoid the paparazzi?
Oh, it was like face paint?
Yeah.
What, like a reflective invisibility?
No, they were like moths to a flame.
Yeah, they loved that.
You look more like Data from Star Trek than ever before.
Number five on the list of the top six things
I'm now contractually obliged to say about our great leader Mark Zuckerberg.
I personally like his delivery.
I find these days people put too much emotion into how they talk.
Wow.
I just want to be told something.
I don't need all the la-di-da, all the trimmings,
all the emotional fluffing. I just want to be told something. I don't need all the la-di-da, all the trimmings, all the emotional fluffing.
You know?
I just want a straight delivery.
Flatten it out.
Yeah.
Number four on the list of the top six things I'm contractually obliged to say
about our great leader, Mark Zuckerberg.
I hated the movie The Social Network.
It painted a modern hero in a bad light.
Right.
It was full of inconsistencies,
mistruths,
and I'll say it,
lies.
Okay, right.
The man's a saint.
The man's an absolute saint.
Number three on the list
of the top six things
I'm contractually obliged to say
about our great leader,
Mark Zuckerberg,
but at the same time,
this is how I feel as well.
Okay.
Okay, good, good, good.
His casual way of dressing
makes me feel I could be him or he could be me. Hashtag so relatable. Yeah. Wow, yeah. good, good. His casual way of dressing makes me feel I could be him or he could be me.
Hashtag so relatable.
Wow, yeah.
You do love a plain t-shirt and a hoodie.
I do.
I love the same look every single day.
Yeah.
I don't want people distracted by my flashy dress.
Yeah.
You've had your linen shirts.
Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, calm down.
Number two on the list of the top six things I'll say from the heart
about our great leader, Martin Zuckerberg.
That foiling thing he does on the board at sea.
Yeah.
Where he pumps it and it goes up and down.
Pretty cool, man.
You don't look.
Pretty cool.
That looks cool.
Yeah, you don't look silly at all.
No, not silly.
Especially in the video where he's holding the American flag.
Yeah.
Man, that was cool.
Yeah.
Funky dude.
Funky dude. Yeah. Yeah. Gnarly, I'll say it. Yeah. Man, that was cool. Yeah. Funky dude. Funky dude.
Yeah.
Gnarly, I'll say it. Yeah.
And I'll add one more
adjective here. Yeah.
Radical. Radical. He's radical.
He's a radical dude. Hang loose.
And number one on the list of the top six things said
from the heart about my new
corporate boyfriend and now
equal peer. Yeah.
Mark Zuckerberg.
I'm not bitter at all that he stole my daughter's name for his daughter.
Did he?
Yeah, his youngest daughter's called August.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
In fact, I'm going to take it as a sort of a compliment that he sees me as a man of equal footing.
Some sort of influence.
He's influenced by you.
Yeah.
A couple of chums with hot wives who have two daughters, one of which is called August.
Yeah.
Wow.
And both are pasty white.
Who mean him?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, very much so.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to start doing the sunscreen like I do how he does it.
Yeah.
For our board meetings that I assume he'll be at.
Yeah.
Because he is now my peer.
Yeah.
That is today's top six.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fletchvorn and Hayley's Scene Sleuth. All right, it's time for Scene Sleuth.
Good morning, Sophie.
Good morning, how are you?
Good, all right. So Vaughn and Hayley are now going to act out a scene
from this famous comedy movie.
You can find it on Neon.
You get the first guess of the movie.
And if you can correctly guess, it's $250 cash and a 12-month Neon subscription.
No pressure.
No pressure.
No pressure.
It's a big scene.
Big scene.
Yes, it is.
All right.
Do you know who's playing who?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Are you going to do the synopsis or do you think it's going to be?
I am.
Yes, I am.
Don't say their names.
Two middle-aged men who still live with their parents
are forced to live together when their parents get married.
I know that we started out as foes,
but after that courageous act that you showed against the one they called Derek,
I think maybe someday we could be friends.
Friends who rode majestic translucent steeds
shooting flaming arrows across the bridge.
I would follow you into the mist of Abalon, if that's what you mean. I don't know if steeds shooting flaming arrows across the bridge. I would follow you into
the mist of Abalon, if that's what you
mean. I don't know if we're doing the accents. Yeah.
You have to. I just went...
Full accent. Okay, full accent.
Do you want to see something super cool that only like
three people have ever seen in their lifetimes?
Yeah. Pulls out
sword! Okay, open your
eyes. Whoa!
You see that black smudge right there on the blade?
Pretty recognizable signature.
No.
That's Randy Jackson from American Idol.
Why do you have Randy Jackson's autograph on a martial arts weapon?
Because I bumped into him and all I had on me was a samurai sword.
And you're not going to get Randy Jackson's autograph, right?
I would have done the exact same thing.
Now do you want to see something cool?
Turn off the lights.
Fleck.
Industrial strength night vision goggles.
Holy Santa Claus! Can you imagine how
cool it would have been if we had these when we were 12?
Even better, we got them now we're 40!
Insane. Insane.
Sophie, what is
the movie? I have an idea
but I hope it's right. Okay, what do you
think?
Is it Step Brothers? You are right. Your idea was right. Your it's right. Okay. What do you think? Does it speak from it? You are right.
Your idea was right.
Your idea was right. Congratulations,
Artis, Sophie. We have for you
$250 cash and
a 12-month Neon subscription. Well done.

Hello, good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fleeche, Vaughan and Hayley.
It's two minutes past seven.
Vaughan joins us from the kitchen just outside the ZM studio.
Yes.
Where he's keeping an eye on the delicious hot cross buns that we're heating up.
Yes.
Yeah, I've just changed into fangrill.
I'm fangrilling with the door open.
It's an absolute game changer.
We're getting a golden crispy top.
We want it crispy but not like hard, right?
Yes, because I made the mistake.
And I'm glad you came out, Va out for them because I put it on bake.
Oh, no.
They're already baked.
They're already baked.
Oh, no.
You'll dry them out.
You'll dry them out.
We do have,
you have brought in
quite a knob of butter as well.
Oh, well,
you need a lot of butter
on hot cross buns.
These,
I've got to give a shout out
to Ema Cuisine.
Oh, yeah.
These are quite often rated
some of the best hot cross buns
in the country.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, guys,
this is all great.
I'm enjoying this banter, but I've got to watch these buns.
It's stressful.
You go.
I feel like the middle row is going to be ready before the back row,
so I need to reach in over the front row.
Flip around.
Remove.
We'll leave you to it because we can't burn a bun.
Oh, that's hot.
Have you burned yourself?
I'm going to need some tongs.
Oh, there's some tongs in that big drawer.
If you open up, there's a secret drawer.
We should have had the tongs ready.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Well, we'll leave Vaughan with the hot cross buns,
but we do have an announcement.
If you missed it yesterday,
because people are still calling for secret sound.
Yeah.
Is it at the creak of a door?
You're like, no, it was a book.
It was a book. It was a book.
It was a book. A book flicking. All thanks

Yesterday.
Here's a really cool story
for you out of the
United Kingdom. A great place to live
There was a dad of four
Who was sitting at home
Watching the telly
And he suffered two heart attacks
In his house
So like the first one was very minor
Yeah
And the wife Michelle
She came downstairs
And she saw her husband
Because he felt really, really unwell.
And he was like, oh, man, I've got this like chest pain,
a little bit of tingling in my arm, my hands.
She said his skin had turned almost silver and translucent
and he was looking cold and clammy and sort of going, oh, my gosh.
She asked him how his hands felt and he said tingly
and his chest was tight between his shoulders and then he vomited.
And she was like, oh my God.
And she watches tons of those, like, What's Your Emergency or the, you know, the...
Grey's Anatomy?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Like real, real actual footage from inside hospitals.
Yeah, like 24 hours in an A&E.
My kids love these shows.
Like the ambulance shows? Like the Ambulance shows?
The one on TVNZ that's at a...
Call centre?
No, no, no.
It's an emergency department at a Sydney hospital.
And Indy's like, we missed it.
Can we watch it on demand?
And I'm a bit of a company man.
I've got a little bit of a contract going with TVNZ.
So let me feel free to just pop a little plug in here
to try to ensure another season of Have You Been Paying Attention.
Yeah.
We watched it on demand and they just bloody love,
they wouldn't have any interest in scripted medical drama.
No.
But they love watching real vets, real ambulance.
And they see these gory things like these massive cuts and they're like,
ouch.
I'm like, you are 10 and you just don't even,
they don't even bat an eyelid at it.
Well, this wife is an absolute fanatic.
She watches these all the time.
And immediately, because of what she'd seen on these shows,
she was like, oh, I know for a fact you are having a heart attack.
Even though he was like, I just feel a bit sick.
Yeah.
So she called an ambulance.
And he was like, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't need to call an ambulance.
She's like, I know this is happening to you.
No sooner had she called the ambulance and they were on their way,
he had a second more severe heart attack.
Jesus.
And the ambulance couldn't get there in time.
Like, he's alive.
I made it sound like he had died, but couldn't get there fast enough.
And so using all the things that she had seen on these TV shows,
she helped bring him back to life.
That's the good thing about the real ones versus the scripted Grey's Anatomy
and Shortland Streets and stuff.
Like, they're all about, like, you know, patching someone
and then sexing them in the supplies.
Didn't that woman have sex with that ghost?
The dead ghost?
On Grey's Anatomy?
That's bloody stupid.
But anyway, the first responders,
they gave him a bit of a poof, you know,
a defibrillator when he got in the thing.
And she was like, oh my God, thank you to you.
You've saved his life. And they're like, no, no, no, oh my God, thank you to you. You've saved his life.
And they're like, no, no, no, no.
You have.
You saved his life.
You saved his life.
Because she knew what to do.
Because she knew what to do.
Oh, that's a great story.
So we wanted to ask, what did you learn from TV
that actually ended up, you ended up using this knowledge?
Or helping.
Yeah, it doesn't need to be like a life-saving thing.
It just could be a life tip or hack.
Yeah, a little hack that you saw on a drama
or something that you were like,
now I use this all the time.
Or something you didn't know
and you're like, oh yeah.
Like cooking shows
are massive for this.
Oh yeah.
They'll be like,
oh, I do it this way.
And you're like,
I've never tried it that way.
And then you try it
and you're like,
I will never do it
another way ever again.
Yeah, I know.
Like there was a Gordon Ramsay
episode or something
where how to do scrambled eggs.
And it's a little bit more involved.
Yeah, but they're yum.
On off, on off, on off, on off.
On off, on off, on off.
Prem fresh.
Prem fresh.
On off, on off, on off, on off.
Chives on top.
All right, so 0800DARLSATM.
You can text in as well, 9696.
What did you learn from TV?
And this is not just us promoting the fantastic medium that is TV,
because, of course, I do work in that medium.
You do, yes.
Talking about a woman who saved her husband's life.
He was having a heart attack at home, and she knew what to do
and recognised it was a severe heart attack
because she watches all of those emergency room and ambulance shows on TV.
The same reason I'm pretty confident I could swat into someone's house.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, because I watch a lot of those cop shows.
I'm pretty confident I could.
And the battering ram thing.
God, I want to use one of those on the door.
One of those glass smashing things where you whack it on the ceiling light
and the glass just shatters.
Then I'm repelling it.
What do you mean?
I've used a window smasher before.
Where?
Season one of Golden Boy,
I had to punch my hand
through a car window
and so they put the little thing
in my hand
so I had the little nub
of the window smasher
through my fingers
and then you go like this
and it just goes.
That doesn't feel safe.
It feels like they should have
made a candy glass mirror.
My hand was wrapped.
It was a real mirror too.
It was a real car.
Oh, wow.
A real thing.
That would have felt so cool.
And then you just go like this and all you do is like tap it
and it just goes pshh.
So much fun.
Wow.
What is it?
It's some sort of tip, right?
It's whatever it's made of.
Yeah, it's like the hammers on the buses to smash a window.
Have you ever seen they've got a little tap?
Yeah, you don't have to whack them hard.
Just a light tap.
Anyways, we asked you what did you learn through watching TV?
All right, let's go to Erin.
Erin, what did you learn from TV?
Morena, yeah.
I had a classmate.
I was in primary school way back in the, we'll say the early 80s in the U.S.
And I had a classmate, Amir, who was a refugee from Iran
and he learned most, if not all,
of his English from watching television.
Oh, yes.
I have a friend from Mexico
who learned English by watching Friends.
Isn't Friends one of the shows they recommend?
Because it teaches you the inflections
and stuff as well.
And they're very clear.
Yeah, yeah.
But then they end up very sarcastic,
like Chandler Bing.
But that's why.
It teaches you the inflections of sarcasm. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but then they end up very sarcastic, like Chandler Bing. But that's why. It teaches you the inflections of sarcasm and stuff.
Oh, you're right.
I love that.
Amazing.
Yeah, Erin, thanks for your call.
Logan, what did you learn from TV?
Good morning.
Good morning.
So I love Netflix, and my favorite comedian is Joe Coy.
I don't know if you've ever seen him, but shout out to the man.
He's a legend.
Okay.
He taught me how to make sushi rice.
So you just flip the bird, your middle finger, no joke,
and then you turn it upside down and you fill the line up to that first line on your finger.
And I'm telling you, man, it'll turn out the best rice you've ever made.
Where does the rice go up to?
If I put it in a pot, where does the rice go up to?
The second knuckle.
That first line on your middle finger.
So flip your middle finger upside down. Then where does the water up to? The second knuckle. That first line on your middle finger. Flip your middle finger upside down.
Then where does the water
go to? Into a
pan or a pot.
What knuckle am I
doing on the water?
It's just that middle finger.
You flip it upside down. Water to
that first line. Water to the first line.
How much rice?
Yeah, water. Sorry, water.
So same amount of rice?
No, so that would be like
for your typical cup of rice.
Oh, one cup of rice,
one knuckle of water.
I'm telling you,
get a rice cooker.
It changes your life.
No, don't be lazy.
It really does.
It's the best.
You can't make sushi rice.
You can't make sushi rice
You guys are going to love this.
Uncle Ben's.
90 seconds, baby.
In the microwave. Yeah, and then 90 seconds, baby. In the microwave.
Yeah, and then no middle finger required.
Logan, thanks.
You called some messages in.
What did you learn from TV?
I saved a girl's life at school.
She started drowning in the school pool.
There's so many kids in there that the teacher didn't really consider it.
Are you okay?
You're eating hot cross buns?
That's good.
Just tapping on the plate there.
We're just like, let's get this bit over with.
I'll hurry through these then.
The teacher stood by the pool and said, no, she'll be fine.
And I was like, this kid's not fine.
I used tactics I'd learnt from Bondi Rescue.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Somebody said, I learnt how to hunt.
I started watching the show where they go out hunting all these different things.
Oh, yeah. I thought that sounds great. I watched the whole series. I was like, show where they go out hunting all these different things. Oh, yeah.
I thought that sounds great.
Watched the whole series.
I was like, I know I feel confident enough to go hunting.
Spare a bore.
Went hunting.
I remember watching a John Campbell episode when I was about eight years old.
It said, if you believe you're lucky, then you will be.
Since then, I've believed myself to be the luckiest person alive,
and I've won a trip to LA, a trip to Mexico, a trip to Melbourne,
Wellington, Queenstown,
$10,000
as well as loads of other things in between.
They put it out to the universe.
They got taught how to be lucky
by John Campbell.
That's beautiful.
That man can do anything.
Guru, John Campbell.
Amazing.
Shorten Street taught me
not to send
pictures of my penis
after the famous
Chris Warner, Harry Warner situation.
Tell me that is not your penis.
I learnt to drive on ice from Canada's worst drivers and ice road truckers.
It saved me from sliding off the road when I hit someone in Mount Cook.
Wow.
How do you drive on the ice?
Just real slow.
Do you pump?
You power out like a jet ski?
You've got to watch ice road truckers, I think.
The term ice on the road and power out doesn't feel right.
I saw on Oprah one time a woman who poisoned her family
by vacuuming the kitchen and leaving food and crumbs
in the vacuum cleaner.
So it got mouldy and the next time she turned it on,
it spread the poisonous spores all through the air.
And my family would always sneeze after I vacuumed.
And that was why, and I never did it again.
So you clean out the vac if you're always vacuuming out food.
Empty the vac.
Wow.
This doesn't bode well for me because I used to just crawl around
following the vacuum cleaner, sniffing it as a kid.
So I love the smell of the air that came out.
Splains a lot, doesn't it?
Slipped for an hailey, silly little pole, silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the Silly Little Poll, Silly Little Poll, Silly Little Poll, Silly Little Poll, Silly Little Poll.
Well, today's Silly Little Poll.
Do you prefer public or private proposals?
Wow, that's Mike Tech 101.
That's great, Mike Techn technique on avoiding a popping pee.
The latest celebrity wedding, Ben Affleck, J-Lo,
apparently she was in the bath.
Oh, that's cute.
So that was private.
Bubbles?
Bart who?
Or bath mom?
I don't know.
Jack White?
Yes.
Jack White from the White Stripes.
From the White Stripes proposed on stage.
Right in front of Meg White, who
we still don't know if it's his sister or his
partner. Is it his sister or his girlfriend?
It's a confusing dynamic.
It's the question of our generation.
He is a musical dating. He's a musical
genius in my mind. Musically, Jack White
can do no wrong, but I need an explanation
as to what. Didn't he do the whole thing on
stage and then get married?
Did he get married on stage as well?
I thought it was just the engagement.
So, you
always hear about these amazing flash
mobs and these public proposals
like someone hires a movie theatre
and puts it up before the movie.
So much effort. Yeah, but then also
like, who wants that?
Some people. Do you know, I reckon it's a
real American thing.
It's that princess mentality.
Yeah.
That like the wedding is all about like the bride
and it's all her day and the proposal is part of that.
And they want it to be really romantic and public
and filmed and put on Instagram.
So I would like to ask your daughter's hand in marriage.
Boy, boy, you better be putting on one hell of a proposal show.
What is happening?
That's my southern plantation owner dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, boy, I said, boy, let's sit down and drink or something.
Talk about everybody.
He's the rich plantation owner.
One of the workers is like, I would love to marry your daughter.
Boy, you're nothing but a simple peasant, boy.
I don't have much, but what I have, I have to share.
Wow.
That's just me.
Oh, boy.
Maybe Americans want the big fancy public proposal,
but not so much New Zealanders.
No.
3%.
I bet the people who voted would prefer a public proposal.
3%.
I think I might have voted early on
it was 5% and I was like, oh
that's not good. It's gone down.
97% of people who voted
would rather it be a private affair. I've definitely
shared my proposal story before.
How did you? I don't know.
I proposed on a beach
on an
island in the Bay of Islands.
Oh, they're glorious.
Yeah.
And only me hasn't told you the rest.
As I had sticks on my head pretending to be a deer
and a gun that Shada had to pretend to shoot me with
because the joke was I was always going to ask her to marry me one day,
but the joke was she would have to do something horrible
to get her engagement ring.
And one of the things was I would put it on an antler of a real deer
and I looked into it, but the price
was a little out of my league. Very expensive.
And she would have to shoot to kill the
animal if she wanted to get engaged.
Oh my god.
Obviously, I was a piece of shit, and I'm
surprised she hung around. But anyway,
that was always the running gag. Or she
would have to, like, gut
an animal, and it would be inside. Anyway,
it was a joke. So when I proposed, yeah, I put sticks on my head and it had the ring on it
and I gave her a little toy gun and I ran off down the beach.
How did you approach it?
How did you sort of arrive with the sticks on your head?
No, I had a backpack.
I had a backpack.
And then I was like, oh, hold on a second.
And I got something out and it was wrapped and I gave that to her
and it was the gun.
And while she was unwrapping it, I put the sticks on my head.
And then she was like, huh?
And she looked up and I'm Sweet Tooth, well before Sweet Tooth, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I take off down the beach.
And she's like, come back.
I was like, you've got to shoot me.
So she was like, bang, bang.
And then I was like, eh.
Romance, eh?
Oh, my God.
Romance.
Modern romance.
2009.
Well, but there weren't people around
watching that, were there?
No, we were on like a cruise,
but everybody had gone
spread out all over the place.
It wasn't public.
Because I wouldn't want people seeing that.
Well, your husband to be running off
with deer...
Stick steering...
Or you've got an orange...
Saying, shoot me!
And you're like, oh my God, bang, bang, bang.
Some messages in just quickly.
Polly said, my best friend's husband proposed to her
while we were all on a drunk Zoom call
during lockdown. Now the only
footage they have has my voice
in the background screaming, F off,
you're lying. Go private or at least
warn people around you.
Megan said, ours was public on top of a
mountain at a champagne tasting in
Banff in Canada.
I love the people clapping and other
people telling us how it made their day to see and share
in our excitement. There you go. She's
3%. Jess says I chose
private but my girlfriend proposed to me at
3am drunk in the Viaduct outside
Holy Moly. So...
So... Luke says one person's romantic as everybody else's 3 a.m., drunk in the viaduct outside. Holy moly. So. Oh, no. So.
Luke says, one person's romantic is everybody else's cringe.
We've got to remember that.
Yes.
I got proposed to in public.
Says Ella, wanted to say no, but felt like I had to say yes.
Said yes and then broke it off later to save the guy face.
Yeah.
It was all massively unpleasant.
Good, yeah.
Josh, if someone proposed to me in public, I'd say no just to spite them.
Cringe, embarrassing and way too much pressure. Oh, yeah. Josh, if someone proposed to me in public, I'd say no just to spite them. Cringe, embarrassing, and way too much pressure.
Oh my God.
And Bronte said,
if I've been taken to Disneyland,
then yes, public.
Anywhere else, private.
Yeah.
That's fair.
Whereabouts at Disneyland?
In the cups, in the teacups.
In the cups.
No, not the teacups.
You're feeling a little woozy.
Spinning around.
No, right in front of the castle.
The Indiana Jones Temple of Doom.
Yeah, what about the horror?
I hate to break it to you,
I don't think that ride's been at Disneyland. What? The Temple of Doom. What about the horror? I hate to break it to you, I don't think that ride's been at Disneyland.
What?
The Temple of Doom ride.
I don't think the Temple of Doom ride's there anymore.
I love the Temple of Doom ride.
Babs, I'm wrong.
I'm going to Disneyland soon.
I'll go and check.
What up?
Disneyland.
You are going to Disneyland.
Are we going to save that for another time?
Yeah, we can save that for another time.
Yeah, okay.
I'm not in the mood for it.
It's a good day.
I don't want to hear how we're going to be at work and you're going to be at Disneyland. We've got the secret, we can save that. Yeah, okay. I'm not in the mood for it. It's a good day. I don't want to hear
how we're going to be at work
and you're going to be at Disneyland.
We've got the secret,
not the secret sound coming up.
That's been won.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
ZM's $100,000 secret sound.
Well, for weeks now,
we have been teasing you
with the secret sound,
this sound here,
which yesterday was revealed to be the painters of a book.
Isn't it funny?
From day one, we were all like, it's got a plastic sound.
Yeah.
It's plastic.
We were like, it's definitely plastic.
It's definitely plastic.
It's not.
It's just that close-up-ness of through a book. Well, all thanks to Neon,

Yesterday, we gave away
that $100,000.
We did.
The very lucky
and very clever
for working it out,
Ariana, won $100,000.
And she joins us on the phone.
Morena, Ariana,
how are you feeling this morning?
Good morning, guys.
Did you sleep much?
Oh, look, I tell you, it has just been a horrible night.
Wow.
So what, so you just couldn't sleep because you're spending the money in your head?
Yeah, no, I'm just thinking, oh my goodness, all this money is in my hands.
Like, what is going on?
Tell us about the very moment.
You had this guess in your head.
Obviously, it was really hard to get through.
So many people wanted to win this.
And you were waiting.
Did you feel confident?
Yeah, no, honestly, I actually felt so confident.
And that is not like me at all.
So with that confidence, I was like, yeah, no, this has to be it.
I didn't actually hear the clue, the very last clue,
until I was on air.
And so I thought, oh, my goodness.
It's solidified for you.
So I heard you say this was an early guess for you early on in the competition.
Yes, yeah, it was.
So from the start, I had actually guessed paper, you know, paper.
It sounded like paper.
I'm actually a nursing student, so I always flip through books anyway.
So it was just about trying to get through.
Wow.
And you got through at the right moment, didn't you?
Oh, wow.
So $100,000 in your hot little hands.
I mean, you don't have to go into too much detail,
but what's the plan for the money?
Are you going to save?
Are you going to go on a big holiday?
Well, it is really going to relieve some financial stress for my wee family.
But I would like to go on holiday because they've never been on holiday before with my two wee boys.
So that would be really nice.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, where are you going to go?
Queenstown's good?
Queenstown's good this time of year?
I know, it would be beautiful, wouldn't it?
Not for sure yet, but something fun anyway.
Have you heard from people you haven't heard from for a while?
Just like, hey, can I borrow?
No, not exactly.
Really?
Wow.
But you know what?
It's okay because I'm feeling all the love.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
You should.
We're so happy that you won it, Ariana.
Congratulations.
Thank you guys so much.
You made it through.
You got the right guess and now you're $100,000 richer.
I know.
Thank you guys so much.
I'm so happy.
Because yesterday was not a good day. So I had a fine time at radio. Absolutely you guys so much. I'm so happy. Because yesterday was not a good day.
So I had a fine time at radio.
Absolutely fine in the morning.
Yeah.
Popped across the road, went to the gym, didn't I?
Had a little PT session.
And then I had a couple of hours.
So I'm on seven days tonight.
We recorded that last night.
And I realised that the dress that I was wearing,
and Fletcher, you might have noticed this,
was somewhat of a wrap dress.
And I was sitting here all day, wasn't I?
And it was just full boob.
It was kind of like open and you were constantly apologising for...
I'm so sorry, the baps are out.
...flashing the bat.
I was getting no bat.
One bat.
No, from front.
I'm on the perfect angle for the bat.
Perfect.
That's a bit pervy. You shouldn't say perfect. What do you feel? I was on the perfect angle for the bap. Perfect. That's a bit pervy.
You shouldn't say perfect.
What do you feel?
I was constantly calling his attention to them as well.
Yeah.
Look at these.
Look at these.
It's terrible.
What's happening here?
Yeah.
So if anyone was being the pest, it was you.
I was a bit pesty.
Yeah.
And then I thought, this probably isn't appropriate, and I didn't bring a backup outfit because
I didn't want to have too much stuff for seven days.
Would that be the kind of dress that you use a bit of that tape?
Tip tape.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. To hold it down. Like double-sided tape. Yeah you use a bit of that tape? Tit tape. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To hold it down.
Like double-sided tape.
Yeah, you tape it down
so they don't move.
Yeah.
It would have been a good dress for that
but I didn't have that
and I thought,
oh, just quickly,
I've got two hours
in between my gym
and needing to be at the studio
so I'll pop to the Westfield
in Newmarket.
And you're team leader
on seven days.
I am the team leader.
You've got to be wearing
something good, yeah.
I've got to look good.
And so I was like,
I'll pop there
and I'll shout myself a new top. Had a skirt in the car and I was like, oh, that's good. I've got to look good. And so I was like, I'll pop there and I'll shout myself a little
a new top. Had a skirt in the car
and I was like, oh, that's fine. I'll get a new top.
And then I was going
around. I went to every store and I just couldn't
find anything that I liked at all.
It just wasn't my day shopping.
So I went and I had, what did
I eat?
Mexican bowl. Went and had a Mexican
bowl. Edible bowl?
No, no, no
Oh my god, no
Not the tortilla bowl
No, it was just like a naked burrito
I love anytime you can eat what the food comes in
Same, same, same
If you make edible cutlery in an edible bowl
I'd be the happiest little boy there ever was
So then you finish the meal and you're like
And then I have told everyone about my ongoing gut health issues
and my bloating and the likes.
And I did have a brioche yesterday during radio
and I did then eat some beans and stuff.
So my stomach was a little unhappy.
And then I went to a store and I was like,
I'm just running out of options.
I'm running out of time.
I really had to leave.
And I tried on a dress and it had this little elastic bit around the middle
and it was too small and I was like, oh, I don't like it.
But the shop assistant, who was an older lady,
and I won't say the shop, she was like, well, give us a look.
Caroline Eve.
I can see you popping into Caroline Eve.
It wasn't Caroline Eve.
And I went in and she was like, well, let's have a little look
and we'll see if we can make this work. It wasn't Posty Plus. And I came out and I was like, oh, let's have a little look and we'll see if we can make this work.
It wasn't posty plus.
And I came out and I was like, oh, no, I don't really like it.
Then she was like, oh, no, I think this is really great
and the elastic's awesome, especially for a growing belly.
She assumed I was pregnant.
You would?
I never assume someone's pregnant until I see the crowning.
And then even then I ask them, are you pregnant?
I wouldn't assume. I'd hate to say it. I don the crowning. And then even then I ask them, are you pregnant? I wouldn't assume.
I'd hate to say it.
I don't want to step out of line here.
But if you've got a baby, you're at a 10 centimetre dilation.
I can literally see the crown of the head beginning to come out.
I hate to ask.
Are you pregnant?
Are you pregnant?
Should you be drinking that beer?
Even then I'd be reluctant to.
But if you work in retail, surely the rule is until the woman says,
I'm having a baby.
I'm having a baby.
I'm with child.
I'm looking for something that I can enjoy my pregnancy in.
What did you say?
But even then, I wouldn't assume that they were pregnant yet.
I didn't say anything.
You went along with it.
I always thought if this ever happened to me,
because I do have stomach bloating issues
and I do often look pregnant,
that I would be like, I'm not pregnant.
And I did and I just went, yeah.
And I went back in the changing room and it got
changed. So now she thinks you're
having a baby. Yeah, went to a store, bought an
expensive top and I was like, I hate this.
Get me out of here.
The saga continues. I went up to my car
and I was parked on the fourth floor which I would
never ever park on. I went in the
wrong entrance. Oh yeah, okay.
And I was on the fourth. The really steep entrance?
The real steep one.
Jesus, that thing's got some gradient to it, doesn't it?
The tiniest turns and it's so steep
and I was like, why am I up here?
Get me out of here.
And then I was going down and I was like,
man, this is going slowly.
It's all backed up.
It's all jammed and people were trying to come in
from different angles and join the queue.
I finally made it down to level two
after about 40 minutes.
40?
40 minutes. And then I tucked into the spiral to head down to level
2M
and the person knocked on my door
I had very aggressive
music on, very heavy metal because I was so
annoyed about this pregnancy saga
and I rolled it down, I was like what?
and she's like you need to reverse out
there's a woman that has driven a van
into the building
and blocked the whole exit.
It got stuck.
It got wedged.
So then we had to go.
And I was like, where do I go?
What do I do?
She said, you've got to back out, drive back up to level four,
and then come down the other exit.
And I was like, oh, my gosh.
This was 10 minutes away from me needing to be at studio.
And I was so stressed. I'm an anxious person. It's not good for a pregnant woman to be stressed. I was like, oh my gosh, this was 10 minutes away from me needing to be at studio. And I was so stressed.
I'm an anxious person.
It's not good for a pregnant woman to be stressed.
I was so not.
I didn't want to stress the baby.
Remember what the midwife said.
Yeah, exactly.
I didn't want to stress the baby.
So then it took me another 20 minutes.
Now I'm late to get up to level four.
And I haven't even started the descent.
And then the producer of Seven Days called me and he was like, look, I don't want you
to be stressed out.
Like, do you want to just abandon your car and we'll come and get you?
And I was like, no, no, no, no.
I've been here so long. I don't want to sort of
abandon the journey. And then
I turned a corner thinking I was about to head down
the other route and I still had to cross the other
side of the parking building. I hadn't even started
yet and it was backed up. So yeah,
I abandoned my car.
So you've got to go get your car after the
show and the parking will be like, what, $4,000?
Yeah, probably. I'm not paying a dime of that.
That's not on me. Sneak in and say you've just been
in a really long movie. No, I'm going to
take the receipt for that. I'm going to take it into the store
I went into. You can pay this to the woman
who said that I was pregnant. The Long Weekend Group Tote. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning.
So horning, I'm horning, horning, horning in the morning.
All right, The Long Weekend Group Tote.
Let's just have a refresher of the tune.
And then you wait for someone near you to finish it off.
Don't finish yourself off.
No, never finish yourself off. The Long Weekend Group Tote editor. Don't finish yourself off. No, never finish yourself off.
Long weekend group two.
Don't be a hog.
All right.
Now, we're going to start this morning with Jessica in Hamilton.
Good morning, Jessica.
Morning.
Morning.
Here we are.
Here she is.
Now, I think last long weekend group two, Hamilton was an absolute treat for us, wasn't it?
I think it looked after us.
It did.
It certainly did.
Jessica,
whereabouts in Hamilton are you?
We are at the BP by like the overbridge
in Frankton.
Oh, okay.
Frankton.
Oh yeah,
over the road
from the old Hutton's factory.
That's it?
Yeah.
Oh, is that where they made
the sausage?
Yeah, they used to make
sausages there for sizzlers.
Yeah.
I mean,
I'm going back
probably 20 years here, but I stopped a dog fight there once I called the police on an The Sizzlers. Yeah. I mean, this is, I'm going back probably 20 years here,
but I stopped a dog fight there
once I called the police
on an illegal dog fighting ring.
Wow.
I'm happy to talk about that
publicly now
because I believe the gangs
involved have probably retired.
In a luncheon chub factory.
No, no, no,
not in the chub factory,
just down the road.
We heard these dogs
going crazy
and I called the police
and yeah,
it was a dog fight.
Certainly a story
for another time there,
Bourne.
Jessica,
when you're ready,
give us a long weekend group tweet.
The first one.
Okay.
Okay, ready?
Yeah.
Wait, I'm coming up to life.

Good tuning by you, by the way.

All right, let's go to Jen now.
Jen in the capital city, Wellington, whereabouts?
Just driving from Lower Hutt into Wellington.
Oh, I'm a Hutt girl.
Free-flowing traffic from the Hutt this morning?
Yeah, pretty good, actually.
We got the third.
Okay, all right, Jen, when you're ready,
give us a long weekend group toot.
No.
That's not free flying.
You did such a good toot there. You did a great toot.
You were very punctuated.
One more, one more.
You were very punctuated.
Okay, here we go.
Hold on.
Fail.
It's too free-flying.
It's too free-flying.
Yeah, it does.
It does sound...
If the traffic's too free-flying, it's very hard for people to hear such a jovial toot.
All right.
Maybe come back later.
Maybe come back.
It's not on you, Jen.
Bailey in Christchurch, good morning.
Bailey in Christchurch, good morning.

You're frustrating the nation, Layla.
Let's get it right.
And action.
You got there.
This is a personal journey.
You nailed it.
If this was a personal journey, you've overcome the odds because you've bettered yourself.
I always want to include that as a win, but it's still a loss.
Should we try one more?
Should we try one more?
Because, Layla, now you've got it.
I'm so stuck in traffic right now.
You're stuck in traffic?
Yeah, we'll take it.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not sure Layla did right again there.
Layla's gone back.
She slipped again.
She slipped back into the habit.
Just do the counting.
One, two.
We don't even mind if you count out loud as you toot.
Yeah, yeah.
This is so embarrassing.
I would be so embarrassed.
If I was your parents, I'd be changing my last name.
No, Layla, don't you listen to these bullies.
You're doing a great job.
She's a public embarrassment, but I'm not going to let her fail.
You can do this, Layla.
I don't even mind if you count while you toot.
I'm assuming Layla's parking out. Not a lot of You can do this, Layla. I'm going to assume. I don't even mind if you count while you toot. I'm assuming Layla's parking her.
Not a lot of rhythm.

Wish me luck.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Oh, you nailed it, though.

We're going to get her back on the phone to Matariki.
Yeah.

This is your homework, Leila.
You need to practice that too.
All right, joining us, Mackenzie and Hamilton.
Good morning, Mackenzie.

Go again, mum.
We're coming up to a roundabout.
Ready?
We're coming up to a roundabout on traffic.
Okay, yeah, here we go.
It's a slow start this morning, isn't it? No.
You know what?
I want to put this blame squarely at the feet of Layla.
Squarely at the feet of Layla.
And she did nothing wrong.
She overcame a personal trial.
We stand, Layla.
She bombed the whole long weekend.
No, she did. She did. She did everything the whole long weekend. No, she did it.
She did it.
She did everything for this long weekend.
Layla sucks.
Layla sucks.
Layla did it.
She just had no one around her to finish it off.
She killed the whole bus.
Not everyone's born with rhythm.
You can't go against them.
Let's go now to Isaac and Hamilton.
Isaac, Hamilton has not been good to us this morning.
Hamilton has been our only successful toot so far. So we can't say that Hamilton hasn't been good to us. morning. Well, no, we've had one. Hamilton has been our only successful toot so far.
So we can't say that Hamilton hasn't been good to us.
Has let us down.
Yeah.
It's not looking good here.
I'm going to try to do my best, but there's no traffic around it.
Isaac.
Isaac.
We'll come back to you.
We'll come back to you.
You find some traffic.
You're beautiful, man.
You've just needed an attitude change.
Yeah.
You can't go in with a negative attitude.
You've adopted that from Vaughn.
Yeah.
I got it from Layla because Layla sucks. Remember Layla? She doesn't. Leave Layla alone. She's on a journey. You can't go in with a negative attitude that you've adopted that from Vaughan. No, I got it from Layla, because Layla sucks.
Remember Layla, guys?
Remember how I did it?
She doesn't.
Leave Layla alone.
She's on a journey.
I don't want it.
No, she's going to come back
at the Matariki long weekend group.
She better redeem herself.
Christy joins us in Auckland.
Good morning, Christy.
Good morning.
How are you?
It's not going well, Christy,
to be honest.
It's falling apart.
It's falling apart.
Whereabouts in Auckland are you?
So, Sylvia Park on the flight to Great South Wales.
Yeah, yeah, save our souls.
All right, when you're ready, Christy,
give us a long weekend group toot.
Your car sounds like the equivalent of those people
that get the robot voice boxes.
Yeah, it's got dual tones in there.
Did you hear any tooting around as you windowed down?
No, but there's so many cars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get the window down and give us another one of your throaty toots.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
No.
It is. It's just a disaster, isn't it? It's an ear thing. Do you know what I had to blame? No. Nothing at Sylvia Park.
It is.
It's just a disaster, isn't it?
It's not going to do what you know I had to blame.
It's not.
Layla.
Melissa, good morning.
In Christchurch.
Melissa.
Oh, hello.
Sorry, I've got kids in the background as well.
That's all right.
Okay, Melissa, whereabouts in Christchurch are you?
Well, I was at the lights, but now we're moving just down Lincoln Road.
Again, Layla.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't put us on Layla.
Melissa, give us a long weekend group talk when you're ready.
All right.
Oh, you've cut off there.
Oh, your phone's gated.
Your phone's gated.
This is just not.
It's not going well today, is it?
It's not going well.
I'll put Melissa on hold.
We'll go to Sam.

Good morning, guys.
How are you?
It's a disaster.
Sam, it's going terribly, Sam.
We're terrible.
I'm thinking about hanging up my stirrups.
I think he's after the...
I can tell you right now, as an Australian,
been over here six years,
this is my favourite part of every long weekend.
So I'm excited but also nervous.
Do you guys feel the mood?
Do you think it's changing? Positive, yeah. You give positive excited but also nervous. Do you guys feel the mood? Do you think it's changing?
Positive? You give positive,
you get positive. I feel like Sam's about to
absolutely cancel out Layla's bad buzz.
Get off this list, Sam. Do you guys remember Layla?
She sucked. Anyway, let's go
on to our new hero, Sam. Sam.
Whereabouts in Wellington are you?
I'm sitting in Newlands
traffic. It's bumper to bumper.
Here we go. Wait a minute. I just want to change it. Can I just change it before we turn? I just need a littlelands traffic. It's bumper to bumper. Here we go.
Wait a minute, I just want to change it. Can I just change it? Before we turn, I but the windows weren't down. It's a working mistake. Stop doing that, Sam, goddammit!
I'm going to go again.
Yeah, do it, do it.
Yes!
The Layla curse is lifted, baby!
Yes!
Oh, that was good.
Sam, textbook tooting from you.
Beautiful.
Not bad.
Beautiful.
Just made my life.
Nice, Sam.
You've made ours.
You've broken the curse.
You've broken the curse.
Wellington, the capital city.
All right, are we going to halftime now?
Oh, I can't.
We're going to come back next.
I feel like that's a great...
It's a great...
Great end to the first half.
First half.
We're going to come back next with the second half of the long weekend group toot.
If hearing the extreme frustration isn't enough for you
and you want to see it as well.
Yeah.
It's been a rollercoaster.
It's been a horrible first half.
Terrible first half.
Two from seven.
And we only attempted seven in the first half.
Usually we're up like 12, 10 to 12.
We're just having a lot of time.
On Layla.
Well, Hayley and I would like to give Layla a second shot.
I think we should.
And when we do, we'll play Eric Clapton's seminal classic, Layla.
No, we won't.
It's a terrible song.
She's literally got the country on her knees.
I've got mail on my knees.
Anna joins us in Wellington.
Good morning, Anna.
I've picked up Ashton, I believe.
Ashton, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning. Good morning.
You're in Hamilton.
Yeah.
Okay.
Whereabouts?
River Road.
Okay.
What's with this tone?
You don't sound positive.
Are you feeling good about this?
We're moving at the moment.
Okay, so what you were trying to delay. Okay, well, we'll pop you on hold and we'll come back to you, Ashton.
Anna in Wellington.
Whereabouts in Wellington?
Hi, we've just got right into the city.
Yes!
Yeah!
Yeah!
All right, Wellington, this could be...
This could follow up Sam in Wellington
who finished off the first half with an absolute classic.
Yeah, thank you.
Long weekend.
All right, let's do it, Anna.
Okay, here we go.
Okay.
Oh.
Nothing.
Waiting on it.
That was great.
Go one more time.
Yeah, go one more time.
Toot for Jesus.
I've got to go to Toot for Jesus.
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
Channel some Jesus.
Toot for Jesus.
Oh, yes.
Did you hear it?
No, we didn't hear it.
We didn't hear it.
What direction did it come from?
Behind us.
Okay, go again and get the phone out the window.
Hang the phone right out the window.
We'll buy you a new phone if you drop it.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going around the corner.
Here we go.
Okay.
Yes!
I heard it.
I heard it.
It sounded like a little Fiat.
Like an Italian.
And an Italian filter.
And a brilliant.
In Wellington, the capital city, really coming.
Wellington's shining today.
Is it a good day in Wellington?
Can we get confirmation if it's a good day in Wellington?
Can't beat it.
Can't beat it.
Okay.
Now, I believe Layla needs to get to work, Vaughan it's good down in Wellington? Because you can't beat it. Now I believe Leila needs
to get to work, Vaughan, who
joined us in the first half. Hayley and I
would like to give Leila an opportunity in the
second half. Good morning, Leila.
Good morning. Well, well, well.
Vaughan, we have a guest.
You be kind to Leila. Leila, we
taught you the rhythm. One, two. One, two,
three. One, two, three, four.
I've come back as a better person. You've come back as a better person. See, that's what you want, Vaughan. Oh, and the proof will be in the rhythm. One, two. One, two, three. One, two, three, four. I've come back as a better person.
You've come back as a better person.
See, that's what you want, Dawn.
Oh, and the proof will be in the pudding.
This is a parole board hearing,
and you are not yet out of prison, young lady.
All right, Leila, when you're ready,
give us the long weekend group toad.
She has come back as a better person.
She's come back as a slightly better person rhythmically.
It was a great toot.
She's dropping a fat tempo.
Yeah, she's like...
But no reply.
Okay, give it one more go, Leila.
Are there cars around you, Leila?
What's around you?
Talk to me.
Describe the sound.
Yeah, a truck thinks I'm asking them to move out of the way.
If you're in a truck, toot back. Toot back. Yeah. Is there only a truck thinks I'm asking them to move out of the way. If you're in a truck, two back, two back.
Yeah.
Is there only a truck, though?
Nope.
I reckon let's go one more time with Leila,
and Leila, I'm going to challenge you
because you have grown in such a huge way.
I want you to up the tempo just slightly.
Give me a one, two, one, two, three, or one, two, three, four.
A little bit faster.
Oh, it's asking for a lot.
No, no, I believe in you, Leila.
I believe in you.
For the record, Leila, I don't have any belief left for you.
Leila, I do.
Fair enough.
I think you should stay in prison.
Give it to me.
Give it to me.
All right.
No. See, what you did is you asked too much.
You asked too much.
I'm going to do it again.
No, I pushed it.
You absolutely torched it, Layla.
Well, you know what?
You gave it your best at no traffic around you to continue the long weekend group, too.
And it's pissed Warnoff again.
What do you do for a job?
I'm out to have you fired today.
It's not anything rhythmical.
It better not be. Layla. Imagine if she to have you fired today. It's not anything rhythmical. It better not be.
Imagine if she's got to do
CPR. She's got to keep some sort of steady
rhythm while trying to resuscitate people. They'll be dead.
Layla, thank you for joining
us this morning. We'll see you at Matariki.
Thank Layla.
Let's go to Samara
in Invercargill. Good morning, Samara.
Morning, guys.
All right, whereabouts in Invervegas are you?
I'm heading
round the roundabout on
Clyde Street. Okay, go for it.
Go to go.
I feel really nervous now that I've got to bring it back.
You do.
Sam broke the Layla curse before. You're
Samara. There could be something here.
Break the curse. I'll give it a crack.
Okay.
Got a real gait. Oh, no.
Nothing wrong with the tune.
Nothing wrong with your tune.
All right, I'm just coming up for some light.
Okay, you're going to do it again at the lights.
Okay, do it again.
Get the phone out the window, too.
Get it out there.
All right, here we go.
Nice.
Did you sneeze?
Oh, no.
It sounded like a sneeze.
It did.
Well, Samara and Vikar,
well, thank you so much.
Let's go now to Stephanie
in Whangarei.
Good morning, Stephanie.
Hi, how are you?
Good, good.
I mean, no, we're not.
We're terrible.
We're falling apart here.
Yeah, it's probably
the worst long weekend group tune in a while, statistics-wise.
This has put me off next weekend, full stop.
Yeah.
Stephanie, give us...
I think mine's going to be a bit shit because I'm now moving in traffic.
Oh, no.
At least you're on it.
Yeah, I'm coming to the lights, but...
Half the battle's attitude.
You're coming to the lights, like now or soon?
In about a minute. In about a minute.
In about a minute.
Should we pop back to you?
Okay, we'll pop back.
We're going to pop back to you.
I'm going to give you another quick one on the way.
Evelyn and Bree are.
Good morning.
Hi.
Whereabouts in Auckland are you guys?
We're on Teotihuacan Road heading towards the motorway.
Oh, everything's blocked up because they've built bloody 80,000 townhouses in Teotihuacan Peninsula.
Haven't they?
They haven't changed anything.
They're giving a ferry service.
And they're like, right, right, right.
Vaughan had to move.
All right, give us a long weekend group toot.
Oh, good day.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Oh.
Yes!
I heard a reply.
I heard a reply.
Someone was talking all over it.
Disrespectful.
I heard a reply, so you're on the board.
You're on the board.
Fantastic, all on the board.
Well, should we go back to...
Are we going back to Stéphane?
We'll go back to Stéphane.
Stéphane, give us a long weekend group two.
Okay, I'll give it a go, but I haven't quite got to my lights yet.
But we'll...
Oh, shit.
Speed up.
Punch it.
I'm almost near the Honda Twassa, but not quite.
All right.
Honda Twassa. Oh, there's the famous toilets. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah. Punch it. I'm almost at a hundred twatter, but not quite. All right.
A hundred twatter.
Oh, there's the famous toilet.
Yeah, well, no.
It's the one in the town base.
Oh, you've got the museum.
You've got the museum up there now. All right, you lot.
Enough chit-chat.
We want the toot.
Coming up to a red light, and I've got one car.
All right.
Oh, you know, it only takes one.
It only takes one.
Let's give it a go. All right. Oh, well, you know, it only takes one. It only takes one. Let's give it a go.
All right.
Do it.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Yes!
Yes!
I got one!
I got one!
That's a spenceful wait!
The person was like, am I going to?
Am I?
I'm going to.
I am.
I am.
Oh, Stephanie, yes. And I didn't, am I going to? Am I? I'm going to. I am. I am. Oh, Stephanie, yes.
And I didn't think it was going to happen.
Neither.
I didn't either.
No.
That's two in a row.
I did.
I knew.
That's two in a row.
That's a hot feeling.
Hot place.
It's all attitude.
It is.
And as soon as we were just like, Layla, get out of here.
Michaela.
Then we were like, Layla's gone.
Layla's fired.
I've had a confirmation email from her employer. I'm worried now because we have a Michaela and there's a similar sounding name to Layla Layla's fired I've had a word I've just had a Confirmation email
From her employer
I'm worried now
Because we have a Michaela
And there's a
Similar sounding name
To Layla
It's got Layla in it
Doesn't it
But with a bit of
Extra Mick on the front
Yeah
It always makes a difference
Michaela good morning
Good morning
I'm just coming up
To a roundabout now
And there's so many cars
Let's go
Let's go baby
When you're ready
Alright there's so many cars baby when you're ready all right

What's the... Oh, it's good.
You're not calling from a Motorola V3000 Razr phone, are you?
It does sound like it.
Let's go one more.
Okay.
Hold on.
Do you hear that?
No.
Do you know what it is?
It's your finishing talking and then going immediately.
We'll go silent, give it a beat,
and then hit the long weekend group toot.
No, it's her phone.
It's her phone.
Okay, Laura.
What are we counting it?
Is it not success?
No, it's unsuccessful.
Michaela, thank you.
Let's go to Laura in Hamilton.
Laura, good morning.
Right, guys, I've been breaking the law for you.
I pulled over before a roundabout, but now that you're here, I'm pulling up.
I'm ready.
All right?
Yes, yes.
When you're ready.
All right.
Yep.
Okay.
Merge back in.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go.
Yes!
That was absolutely
well done. I love how
excited you are, Laura. That's so good.
Can you feel that?
I love you guys.
And Hamilton, we love you.
Hamilton as well.
It's been good to us this morning. Thank you so
much, Laura. Have an amazing
Easter weekend. Tan joins us also
in Hamilton. Good morning.
Morning, guys. Hamilton's coming through weekend. Tan joins us also in Hamilton. Good morning. Morning, guys.
Hamilton's coming through.
Whereabouts in Hamilton are you?
On Tarapa Road, Tarapa Street.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
When you're ready, give us a long weekend group two.
I'm just driving at the moment, guys.
Oh, no.
That's the idea.
Oh, do you mean you're moving?
You're not in still traffic?
I tried to slow it down so the light would change to red,
but it didn't.
I don't want to call you out,
but Laura has stopped.
She broke the law.
Is there a way that we can get you to just stop?
You're talking across two lanes.
T-bar it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll be all right with it.
Do you want us to come back to you, Tan?
Yes, please.
Okay, all right.
How far away, Tan?
Oh, you don't want to need to answer that.
I'm already going to Sam in Wellington. Good morning, Sam. Whereabouts? By the train station. Okay, all right. How far away, Tant? Oh, you don't want to need to answer that. I'm already going to Sam in Wellington.
Good morning, Sam.
Whereabouts?
By the train station.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot.
All right.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
Oh, come on.
Oh, no fault of your own.
Beautiful tune.
Give us another one, Sam.
Come on.
All right, all right, all right. Ready? Yeah. Through no fault of your own. Beautiful, Trudy. Give us another one, Sam. Come on.
Ready?
Yeah.
Yes!
Very faint, Sam.
The absolute winner.
If we go back to Tan and Hamilton and can get a positive out of Tan,
we're going to be at 50%, which is an absolute second half wrong.
Okay, well, I don't believe he's ready just yet.
We're going to go to Peter,
who I believe is the port exit by uni.
Good morning, Peter.
Hi, good morning, guys.
How are we doing?
We've come back.
We've come back.
I want to keep this streak going.
Yes, Peter.
Yes, Peter.
Let's do it, boys.
Let's do it, boys.
Let's do it. All right Alright Peter, when you're ready!
Oh, here we go!
Nooooo!
Go again, go again, Peter!
Go again, go again, yeah.
Here we go again!
Yes!
What a cutie, patootie little tooth that was! What a cutie, patootie little thing that was.
What a cutie one.
Was that a little European car?
I can't see a thing.
I don't know where that came from, but I heard it.
So that's where it came from.
I believe Tan, thank you so much, Peter.
Tan needs two more minutes.
Jonty, good morning in Wellington.
Shit, shit. How are you? Oh, good, mate, good. Tan needs two more minutes. Jonty, good morning in Wellington. Shit, shit.
How are you?
Oh, good, mate, good.
Whereabouts in Wellington?
Just coming through La Hutt.
Okay, all right.
When you're ready, give us a long weekend.
Come on, Hutt. Group two.
Come on, Huttie.
Huttie, Huttie, Hutt.
No.
One more, one more.
It was a good one.
Wait, go again. Lay two to there by the sound of it. We didn't more, one more. It was a good... Wait, go again.
Lay two to them.
We didn't hear.
Go again.
I'm going to need one more from John T.
One more from John T.
One more.
One more.
Yeah. He's a good tutor.
Oh, that is just sublime tutor.
Yeah.
Johnny, sublime.
Unfortunately, we're going to go to Tan, the last toot. For the long weekend group toot, just quickly warn stats-wise.
We are currently running eight out of 17.
Oh, not our best, Tan.
Give us a long weekend group toot in Hamilton.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Okay, show him the finish like this.
Go again.
8 out of 17 is 47%.
Go again, Tan.
Give me five seconds, I'll be at the next light.
Okay.
9 out of 18 is 50%.
We need this to hit 50.
That's correct.
We're at 47.
We just want to hit 50.
Private school maths is good.
I should have done that.
It's called Google.
Oh, okay.
You can literally Google an equation now
and it'll give you the answer
rather than even finding your calculator app.
I put the fraction in a second.
Okay, here we go.
Okay, here we go.
Yeah!
I got bloody three.
I got three five.
Tan, what a joyous end
to the long weekend
Easter group toot.
50%, we hit it.
That was just beautiful.
You nailed that.
We waited and you delivered.
Tan.
Well done, Tan.
Well done, Tan. Thank Well done to you, sir.
Thank you to all of our long weekend group tutors.
Except Layla.
No, I know.
Thank you, Layla.
It was a real journey.
Thank you, Layla.
No, she overcame the rhythmic challenge and delivered, but she just wasn't helped out
by the listening public.
The girl got no rhythm.
What are we going to do?
It's like she got into the Olympics because somebody got disqualified.
And then she got there and
came dead last. I'm not celebrating
that. I'm celebrating your tans.
I'm celebrating your Sams. I'm celebrating
your Peters. Hayley and I would love to
invite back Layla for the Masariki Long Weekend
group too. That'll be the next one. We've decided we're not
going to do it again next week because it's
not good for the ticker.
This is very
stressful. It's because of Layla.
Not because of Layla.
It's not.
This is Layla again.
This is not on Layla.
All right.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
We like talking about the origins of phrases and words.
Yes.
We were trying to work out the origins of that horrendous saying,
I'm not here to F spiders.
And all we could find out was it was Australian and then nothing more and we were kind of like,
okay, that sits because you know what Australia is like.
The first time I heard it, it was someone from Southland
and I just thought it was a Southland thing.
Yeah.
Like, arr.
We're not here to hurt spiders.
Arr, aboard the pirate ship.
But this one I found fascinating.
To describe something as jet black.
Like her hair was jet
black. Or the
gown she wore was jet
black. Because jets are
like fighter jets. Nope.
But they're not black, are they? No.
It is because jet
is the name
of the lowest rank of coal
and is also a pure black gemstone.
Oh, okay.
So you say something is jet black, you are comparing it to the extremely black nature of the lowest rank of coal and the gemstone, jet.
If you look up jet coal, it is that real matte, deep black.
You know, there's no bluey or green.
I love that colour.
No shine to it either.
It's a real matte because, you know, coal.
I love matte.
A lot of people like gloss.
I don't like gloss paints.
Oh, you don't like gloss black.
Matte.
Matte all the way.
Matte all the way.
Don't come at me with your shiny surfaces.
Semi-gloss?
Semi-demi.
Semi-gloss?
What about semi-gloss for the trim?
No.
Semi-gloss for the trim.
Maybe a semi. Matte on the walls, semi-gloss for the trim? No, no. Semi-gloss for the trim. Maybe a semi.
Matte on the walls, semi-gloss for the trim.
Just really highlights the trim.
Makes the trim pop.
Yeah.
Yeah, makes the trim pop.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
A lumber side.
Nice flat.
Good.
Are we on the block?
This is what we're,
are we in the pain meeting?
Are we on the pain meeting
of that episode of the block?
Yeah.
So yeah,
when you describe something as jet black,
you're describing it as black
as like the lowest form of coal,
which makes awful coal but apparently a nice gemstone.
Fact of the day, day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, A public... I've lost it. I'm done for the day.
I'm going to call it there.
We had a good day.
Would you say what started as a renovation update at your home?
Sure, let's call it that.
We're finally getting our windows updated to double glazing
because we had double glazing in our old house
and people were always like, double glazing is so great.
And I was like, meh.
And then got it and I was like, everything you said was true.
I've never lived in a house
with double glazing,
ever.
Always lived in old houses.
In New Zealand,
it's wild, eh,
that we even built houses
like we did
and do.
Dude,
our house was
built in the same year
I was born,
1982
and
it doesn't have insulation.
It was just like,
work around, mate, see what happens. What about if you get cold? Eh, you won't get cold. Put was just like, ah, whack around, mate,
see what happens.
What about if you get cold?
Eh, you won't get cold.
Put a jumper on.
But then you go overseas
to like Europe or England
or whatever
and they have like real thick windows,
double glazing
or double layers of windows.
Or like horse hair through the walls.
Everything.
For hundreds of years
they've been doing their best
to keep warm.
Mud, poos.
Yeah, thick walls.
So getting some double glazed windows put in and
the other thing about double glazing that
people always say about double glazing
is it changes the noise completely.
It makes it quiet, doesn't it? And at the moment
it's a time of the year where in the evenings
we have a transitional flock of
cockatoos fly past every afternoon.
Somebody released two
cockatoos, because I guess
they were sick of them So loud
Something like
30 years ago
Yeah
At Kumu
Taupaki Ways
And now there's
This flock of
I'm guessing
At their peak
Over 100 cockatoos
So loud
So annoying
But real beautiful
No
Oh okay
Keep them in Australia
If you love them so much
I've got no time for them
And then
Take away from our native birds
Oh yeah
Okay
I'm gonna get a gun You yeah I'm gonna get a gun I'm gonna snipe I'll be snipering cockatoos I won't feel bad about it I've got no time for them. And then take away from our native birds. Oh, yeah. Okay.
You, yeah.
I'm going to snipe.
Oh, we snipe our own cockatoos.
I won't feel bad about it either.
They're not a native species.
And so they transitioned past up our valley and they,
ah, ah, ah, ah.
Last night I went in, shut the double glazed window,
lay on my daughter's single bed, and I had a nice quiet whiskey.
And it was quiet.
And it was quiet. And it was quiet.
I couldn't hear the cockatoos because of the double glazing.
Now I put a photo up
of my reclined position
and I noticed when I took the photo
at the bottom
my little tootsies are in there.
Your feet.
My feet.
Bare feet with jeans.
And I noticed when I was uploading it
that's quite funny
so I hashtagged it foot porn
but made the hashtag real small.
Yeah, right.
And put it down the bottom of the Instagram story.
I feel I may have unleashed a beast.
Yeah, you have brought this on yourself.
I've been inundated with messages from people who don't follow me,
but must follow the hashtag foot porn.
Right.
And so they want to see, what, more of your feet?
Is there a place we can see more? I'm like, what, double glazing? And they're like see more of your feet. Is there a place we can see more?
I'm like, what, double glazing?
And they're like, no, your feet.
I'm like, oh, no, what?
But I'll take the compliment because I'll take anything as a compliment.
I've got terrible feet.
I've got finger toes.
Here's what I know from just talking about this to a couple of people
who did message regarding feet.
Yeah.
There's somebody out there for every type of foot.
You've got, is it Greek or Egyptian, your foot?
I don't know.
The second toe is much longer than the first.
My second toe is a phalange.
Is it?
I think so.
Am I an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Are you an Egyptian?
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I think it's not Roman because they, of course, wore a sandal.
Is it?
Egyptian.
Okay. And your toe would have overhung the front of the Roman sandal. They would have, right. Okay. I think it's not Roman because they, of course, wore a sandal. That's it. Egyptian. Okay.
And your toe would have overhung the front of the Roman sandal.
They would have, yeah.
But you were saying there's someone out there.
For everybody.
Didn't you say once you're on a foot website, Hayley?
I'm on WikiFeet.
Now, I remember.
So when you said this, I was like,
I wonder if someone's put Vaughan on WikiFeet.
Now, WikiFeet is a silly website where you can upload pictures
of celebrities' feet
and you can look for celebrities.
And I remember when Mel Bracewell
got on Wikifeet,
I was like,
weird.
And I was like,
I'm not on Wikifeet.
And I looked recently,
I'm on Wikifeet now.
How many photos of your feet
are on Wikifeet?
Nine pics.
I've got a four and a half stars
out of five for my feet.
Oh my God.
That's a good mark.
Good feet.
That's a nine out of ten.
That's a 90% foot.
Do you know what that is?
They call it beautiful fee.
So you're telling me there are creepos out there
that see someone's Instagram story or post,
they screenshot it and upload it to a profile.
Anytime I've done an Instagram, same thing.
Like, you take a picture of something and your feet are in it,
they, like, screenshot it and upload it to my wiki feet,
including one where my feet are like blistered to smithereens
from marching birds.
And you're not on yet, Tori.
No, but see, they'd be into that because that's like BDSM for the foot.
Yeah, they have.
They've literally been bound in leather all day.
This guy's deleted his message.
He got a message from this big burly dude with like a beard
and he had a family
and everything and his
message to my feet was
that's nice.
And I sent windows
and he sent back
just the foot emoji.
He's gone, he's deleted.
You know when the moment goes and he's like, well that's
a bit forward of me.
I like the thought that there's somebody out there who's a father of two
who douse feels guilty after he's...
Played it with himself over your feet.
Played it with himself to my feet.
What a...
I mean, this is...
Is this what power feels like?
I love it.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
