The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee available now at Macca's. We've got a bit of a semi. We've got a semi situation. Well, we're so excited because Vaughn is buying a chainsaw blade. Yeah.

Yeah, I have two chainsaws that need new blades. My Husqvarna and my Stilt. Yeah. You've got a couple of those, do you? Yeah, I've got a couple of those. Big orange Husky. Question, why do you need two chainsaws? I've got three chainsaws.

Why do you need three? One chainsaw is enough, right? And also, once you cut down a tree, it's a long time until it grows back. No, there's so many trees out there that need to be cut down. And then when you cut a tree down, you've got to cut the tree up. Yeah, Vaughn famously went to a council park once, parked his car there, and chainsawed down a tree. No, I didn't chainsaw.

That was when I was harvesting manuka wood. Burns very hot. Lovely. But no, I would drag out the ones that had fallen down and cut them up. Oh, a hero. Okay. You made him sound like he's just gone in and started cutting down native bush. He's a civic hero.

No, no. It was a clean up job. Okay. What was that going to do in there? It would be a fire risk. Yeah, that's true. So I was cleaning it up and got it. That's great wood that burns hot.

Are these chainsaws all different sizes? They're all very much the same size. Well, then why do you need three? I inherited this little one that's a non-brand. It's a little red one. All I know about it is Italian. I call it the Italian Stallion. Okay.

Because it's the cheapest one. It's not a Husqvarna and a Stihl. Those are two very well-known chainsaw brands. This one. But it goes, man. It outpowered the other two yesterday. Now I need a chainsaw blade for the still because the blade has done a lot. Yeah.

And it's stretched now. It's too long. This all sounds, everything you're describing now sounds very dangerous, like you're going to lose an arm. Yeah, it does feel like that. Well, that's why I haven't been using the still much because even when you do the chain up the tightest it can go, you can still pull it down and it's like, oh, my God. So I don't use it. No. That's why I need a been using the steel much because even when you do the chain up the tightest it can go, you can still pull it down. It's like, oh my God. No, no, no.

That's why I need a new chain. Stay safe. Stay safe doing the chainsaws. Oh God, you are just, you're going to come to work one day with one arm. With no arm. And then the Husqvarna, because chainsaws work, they've got teeth on both sides that point out the side. I hit something in a tree. Perhaps a nail.

What's in a tree? Well, it's been predicted that it must have been something very hard steel. Maybe a nail was put in a tree. Perhaps a nail. What's in a tree? Well, it's been predicted that it must have been something very hard, steel. Maybe a nail was put into a tree I was cutting down. Could have been someone's home. And it just took all the teeth off. You know in cartoons, a lot of them have homes in trees. And they're running. Squirrels and such.

Yeah, squirrels. Could have been a squirrel's home. You could have hit the dishwasher in the squirrel home. You might have. And chewed the teeth off on the side. It's probably what it is. So I need two chainsaw blades. I've never bought a chainsaw blade before.

I've roughly measured the bar. But there's a whole lot. There's pitch. There's gauge. There's a whole lot here. So I'm just going to go into a store. I was going to say, none of this fills me with confidence. You just blindly buying a blade online.

No. I'm hacking at a tray. Yeah. Can you sort it out? Because I need you to cut down some trees for me. I love. I spent all afternoon, you said, at need you to cut some down some trees for me it's i love i spent all afternoon you said at my friend's house cutting down these trees because they're like changing their property and jesus it's just so much fun i just bloody love chainsaws you have

a tactic or you just go for it well yesterday was the biggest tree i've ever done by myself and i climbed up into the tree and started cutting off the branches yeah yeah yeah this is again though it's not a good public image, though. Oh, it wasn't safe? So Vaughn... No, I just mean that, you know, the climate is in crisis. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you're deforesting the suburbs. So you're pretty much a JK Rowling of... Of trees. Of trees. But why? You're cancelled. Oh. Yeah.

I thought she'd said something about trees. You know, shrubs aren't trees. Oh, she hates said something about trees. You know, shrubs aren't trees. Oh, she hates those too. She hates, yeah, she said. Hedges aren't trees. Yeah. You know, making wild claims as such. No, for every tree I cut down, I plant another.

This is bullshit. I've never seen. My garden, I've got a fig tree for you. I don't know if you still want that, but you did say you wanted a fig tree. I've got a fig tree. Because our fig tree blew over in the wind, so I took all the cuttings and I've grown like 10 fig trees. Mini fig trees. I've got willow trees getting ready to plant.

I'm going to wait till autumn when there's a bit more moisture in the ground. So you're not cancelled. You're actually in credit. You're doing more than the average person. I'm a carbon credit. He is a hero. And I'll say it again.

A hero. A civil hero. And a hero. And an eco-warrior. Huge eco-warrior. Yeah, good. Energy. Play.

ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Thank you eco-warrior. Huge eco-warrior. Yeah, good. Energy. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletchford and Hayley. It's four minutes past six. It's going to be a great week. I'm predicting it. You're just predicting it straight out. Even with petrol now. Yeah, I have no reason

to believe it's going to be a great week. Right. You're just putting it out there. I'm just putting it out there. Projecting. Yeah, you've no reason to believe it's going to be a great week. Right. You're just putting it out there. I'm just putting it out there. Projecting. Yeah, you put it to the universe. Yeah. And then the universe is like F you, Sproul. Yeah, I feel it. I also had a dream last night though that I tested

positive in my rat test and then you guys were like, so, we'll see it work. I was like, oh. I had a dream I was DJing on a boat. Oh, okay. Oh, fly guy. And a kraken attacked. You know the kraken?

The big squid. The big squid, the mythological squid creature. Oh, okay. And then. Did you keep going with your DJ set? The record thing was that. Music never stops. Well, that was the thing.

That was the initial anxiety of the dream. Right. I had no idea what I'm doing, and there was no laptop. It was like records. Yeah, to actually of the dream. Right. I got no idea what I'm doing, and there was no laptop. It was like records. Yeah, to actually DJ. Yeah. Wow. It was actually a sweet relief to see the Kraken's tentacle come out of the ocean and begin to attack the boat.

Put it into your set. And then I got washed ashore, and I asked the old guy working at a resort if he had a car, and he said, I'm not leaving. I'm fighting the Kraken. I was like, sweet, can I asked the old guy working at a resort if he had a car, and he said, I'm not leaving. I'm fighting the Kraken. I was like, sweet, can I have the KC car? And then it was a really big car park, and I couldn't find his car. And that was the end. Wow.

What is going on in New York? I don't know. Wow. I don't know. You made macaroni cheese last night. Oh. Cheese. Did you not bring us any?

I packed it, and I put ice in the little cooler bag and everything. And then I left it on the bench. You made pulled pork macaroni cheese. Oh, my God. And you sent us the photos and you said I'm bringing it in. You sent everyone, bring a little doggy bag. I'll bring it tomorrow. It'll still be good.

It won't be good tomorrow. It'll still be good. It's refrigerated. It'll still be good. And you left your headphones. What did you bring in your backpack? I picked it up. I literally was like, man, there's not much in this good. And you left your headphones. What did you bring in your backpack? I picked it up. I literally was like, man, there's not much in this today.

And then just walked out the door. It's normally a sign there's nothing in your bag. This thing's light. Anyway, I won't think about that anymore. I've got a Kraken to deal with. Exciting. Today is the day that we start. All thanks to Neon, our $100,000 secret sound.

7 a.m. after the news in one hour, we will give you the very first listen to the secret sound. We haven't even heard it. It'll be our first listen. We'll hear it with you. And then we will give you the first shot to call up and guess the secret sound to win the cash. Now, I don't know if we're going to start at $50,000.

There was a post yesterday. Do you want cue jumps? Yes, I saw this. Or a $50,000. There was a post yesterday, do you want Q-jumps? Yes, I saw this. Or a $50,000 jackpot? I think last time I checked, most people were like, I want the $50,000. The jackpot. So it looks like we could be starting at that. Soundkeeper hours will be in at 7, and we'll give you the first listen to the secret sound then.

The top six is coming up. Yeah, with petrol well up over $3 now, I'm looking into alternative modes of transport. I feel quite smug. It's a good time to be a bicycle owner. You're all giving me shit, weren't you? Oh, I know.

It's a terrible time to have moved far out of the city. Tell you that. Next on the show, though. Well, a 102-year-old woman has given her secrets to a long life. And I tell you what, it's not kale and it's not vitamins. Okay, all right. Secret next.

There is a 102-year-old woman. She's just celebrated her 102nd birthday. 102ndth birthday? 102nd birthday. Yeah, you'd say 102nd birth. No, that doesn't sound right. It doesn't feel right. I feel like there's going to be a... 102th birthday? 102nd birthday. Yeah, you'd say 102nd birth... No, that doesn't sound right. It doesn't feel right. I feel like there's got to be a...

102nd birthday. Toots. Toots. Thank you. 102nd birthday. 102nd. Her name is Lily Bullen. She looks like a bloody riot, I tell you.

New Zealand? Where is this? No, we're in the UK. Okay. Yeah, we're in the UK. So she'll get a letter from the Queen. She will. No, she's already had one.

And then you keep getting them. Did you know this? No, you get them 100, 105, then every year after 105. Every year after. And then in certain wedding anniversaries as well. Yes. Once you hit 50 and then you keep going from there. That's very good.

She's a busy lady, the Queen, writing letters. Who will we get a letter from? Bloody Camilla, probably. Oh, Camilla. By the time we get to 100. No, she'll... That's ambitious to think that. In 60 years' time, Camilla will be dead.

Oh, it'll be Prince... William. It'll be William. No, he'll... No, he'll be gone. Distressive. It'll be... It's a stress, a stress.

It'll be that sassy little bitch. Who's the little one? Yeah. Charlotte. No. No. Henry. George. George's the little one? Charlotte. No. No. Henry.

George. George. George? The little blonde one. The oldest one. They've got such a boring list of names, don't they, to choose from? It's not Charlotte. It's not Louis.

God, I'll put you in bloody crowns from preschool, too. Oh, no. No, because he's ageing, too. Oh, that's right. He doesn't just stay poor. Have you lost your mind? Your old grasp on time is out the window. You think you're going to get a 100th birthday letter from Camilla.

From a 130-year-old. Who's 30 years older than you. 130-year-old Camilla Parker Bowles. Well, we don't know the advances in medicine. It could be massive. Here we are laughing at you. So Lily Bullen has four great, great grandchildren. That's how old she is.

She's very old. Okay. And she has, when asked what she gives credit to for her long life, you would suspect maybe walking, remaining active, plenty of water, sunscreen. Hers is tequila shots, sausage rolls, Domino's pizza and Jager bombs. That's tops. All things. I'm a massive fan

of. I do love a Jager bomb. All things that should probably... Is a Jager bomb in a Red Bull? Yes, you drop a shot of Jager into Red Bull. That's why every morning when we're doing planning for the show and producer Jared comes in with his Red Bull, I feel triggered. To me it's a Red Bull vodka.

That's what that smells like to me. Now I can smell the Jager. Normally at 5am when you're smelling that you're in a bar not a radio studio. Sometimes I have a little brekkie bomb. I don't mind a brekkie bomb. She's an incredible woman. She tried ice skating for the very first time at 99 years old. She loved it. She's kept on doing it

since. She loves playing with 99 years old. She loved it. She's kept on doing it since. She loves playing with her grandkids. She parties. She's constantly ordering shots at bars and doing them at family events. Well, that's a mindset too, I think. As much as she's saying, well, these things are keeping her alive, it sounds like she's in an active mindset. She's not giving up.

She's young of brain. It also sounds like she's pickling herself. Yeah, that's slow, which could help. Yeah, that's slow Yeah, a good pickling Which could help Well, there was another woman A friend of hers, Mary Tipping Who said that the key to her long life Was an active lifestyle and plenty of Guinness

Right Well, Guinness is a thick beer It's a meal, isn't it? She'd be tootie as well Anyway, well, let's Should we do a Jagerbomb? To toast to the good life To a long life.

I can't think of anything worse at 13 minutes past six on a Monday morning. I can, work. Get me the Jägerbomb. Yeah, let's do it. Let's go. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Glass Animals, Heatwaves on ZM. So that song came out June 2020.

UK band. It didn't go kind of big here until, what, the, I want to say 2021? Like the first lockdown? Yeah. Is that when that song came out and kind of got popular here? It came out and got popular when Camilla Parker Bowles was a wee girl. Well, you're losing all track of time. What?

That song just is number one in the US now. Oh, wow. Two years later. It's strange, isn't it? How countries sort of get behind each other. Do they not have the internet? It blows my mind America sometimes takes so long and a song just slowly creeps up the charts.

Yeah. Slow burner versus one that's just like a debut number one. Or how you have artists over in the States that are like massive and we don't even know that they're happening. Like country music artists? Yeah, or like, you know when you always go like, oh, no one from New Zealand Idol, American Idol does any well. And people are like, no, no, no, no.

Fantasia and Ruben Studdard are huge in the States. You're like, really? What is a Fantasia? Is that the Mickey Mouse movie? Yeah. Well, speaking of movies, oh, my God, Seamless Segway. That's a good Segway. Unbelievable.

Have you ever seen a radio? You haven't done radio long, but have you ever seen a radio Segway so smooth? No. I'm literally just writing in my diary. Smooth Segway. 14th of March, 2022. Finally witnessed magic. Dear diary.

Wow. I think you're going to ask her if she's ever seen a movie. Ever seen a movie? Hey, young girl. Hey, everybody. If you've ever seen a movie, you may have noticed

that movies have swear words in them sometimes. Yes. Well, I mean, through a long career with many, many appearances in movies and always playing a sweary little man, you would imagine Samuel L. Jackson would have been the sweariest person.

He's pretty sweary. He's very sweary. He's not the sweariest person. He wasn't happy either when he found out about it. There's a list of someone who said the most swear words in movie history. And I was like, oh, yeah. Who won? It's not you.

It's Jonah Hill. That's some bull. Jonah, then Leo. Jonah Hill, really? And then you. And Leo. That feels impossible to me. Jonah Hill, then Leo.

I don't believe that. How many Jonah got? Jonah has 376, and you have 301. Just curse words or a specific curse word? No. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, because he fell back on the source, but a slur in there.

Yeah, so a little bit of coveted. So yeah, I'm going to do it. Yeah, so 376 swear words, the majority of which were split between his movies Superbad and The Wolf of Wall Street. Yeah, I was going to say Wolf of Wall Street's very sweary. Very swear heavy. And then Leonardo DiCaprio had 361, so just behind.

Again, Wolf of Wall Street really upping his numbers there. Then it was Samuel L. Jackson. Samuel L. Jackson was followed by Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Billy Bob Thorne and Seth Rogen, who I thought might have been higher. Yeah. Bradley Cooper and Danny McBride. You can't get higher than Seth Rogen. He's the highest.

He's always the highest. Absolute highest. So the movies, Wolf of Wall Street, obviously, for the individual movies with the most swear words, Wolf of Wall Street was just ahead of Pulp Fiction. And in third place was Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems. Oh, God. I haven't seen that.

I was going to watch it and it was like three hours and I was like, nah. It's so good, but man, it's stressful. Yeah, it's a very stressful watch. It doesn't feel like three hours because you start chewing your fingernails about two minutes in. Yeah, right. And it lasts right till the end. Yeah, I didn't, I mean, maybe it was because of the stress of the entire movie I didn't notice that it was that packed with swear words.

Right. Remember the first time you saw Pulp Fiction? Yeah. As like a teenager and you're like, Surely Samuel L. Jackson's got the most F words, right? They didn't specifically break down. Apparently Samuel L. Jackson did say if anyone has said MF-er more than me,

I would be very, very surprised. He says it so well as well. Yeah, he does. He hits all the notes with that beautiful little word. He didn't just say, oh, there are some snakes on this plane. No, he didn't. He certainly didn't. Which he could have said. Yeah, he could have easily said that. I don't know if you guys are aware of this,

but there are some snakes on this plane. There's been a study done at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology looking into why people constantly pick up their phone while they're socialising. I'm guilty of this from time to time. The worst is if you've got a smart watch, you get the notification. You look at your watch all the time. You get a little buzz. It's really hard not to just... Sorry, are we keeping you?

That's always the main thing. Just looking at your wrist has an air of rudeness. Yeah. Well, it's no different than looking at your phone, is it really? But when you go out to a cafe, say we were having brunch on a Sunday. A brunch? We were having a delicious Benedict brunch. Would you sit down and put your phone out next to you on the table?

Yeah, I would. I don't just leave it in my handbag. And it would depend who I was with. If I was with you guys, I'd probably check it. Why? We've shit company. No, just because, I don't know, I just would. Just waiting to see what your real friends are up to.

But if it was a friend I hadn't caught up with for ages and we were having a convo, I'd just leave it, probably. Yeah, right. Do you leave yours in your handbag, Vaughn? Yeah, I hang my purse on the back of my chair. Right. But I also put my leg around there because I don't want someone stealing my purse.

Because I'm worried someone's going to snatch your purse one day. Yeah, yeah, when they chase them down, beat the hell out of them. Well, research has found the number one reason that many people just use their phone in front of others is to check social media. That is the main thing that people are doing when they're doing that. So it's not like, oh, sorry, I just need to take this.

Oh, sorry, I'm just going to do a little bit of da-da-da-da. I'm just going, I'm hanging out with you and hopping on Instagram and going, oh, that's pretty cool. And it's literally just a notification someone liked to post. Yeah, someone liked to post, and you're like, I'll just go back. What's in the chat? How many likes did that get?

Just while we're hanging out. Yeah, they're not organising anything or dealing to something important. No, because they were saying that before they did this research, they went in assuming it was because our whole life is in here, so we're doing business through our phones. We're finances through our phones. But no, the number one reason is that we're just checking

social media. God there's a lot going on what's on the... oh yeah. What about these new on the iPhone these new settings here where you can like... What's that? Do not use these, the do not disturbs and stuff. I use do not disturb when I'm sleeping. So you go

down from the top right corner and then it says focus and you click on that and you can turn on to like. So if you were going for dinner or a brunch. Yeah, you could put it on to do not disturb. Same with driving, right? There's a driving one. Yeah.

And it sends a text. If you've texted me, my best friend's got that. If I text her while she's driving, it texts me back saying I'm driving. What a goodie. I'll message it later. What a goodie too. And she's good. Because I was iMessaging someone at the weekend and it texts me back saying I'm driving. What a goodie. I'll message it later. What a goodie too. She's good. Because I was iMessaging someone at the weekend

and it told me in the chat that they had their notification silenced so I might not hear back from them. But it didn't come as a message. It just said below. Oh, right. It said Ra currently has his notification silenced. Yeah, I have that on all the time. If you text me, it says,

Hayley Spray has her notification silenced. But what? Because otherwise I'm on my laptop and it goes ding. Is it a setting somewhere? Well, this is the thing. If you go to that focus thing and you go do not disturb, it turns it on my laptop as well. Right.

So if I'm doing, yeah, there you go, do not disturb. If I'm on my laptop doing work and my phone keeps dinging, like the message is on my laptop, I put it on do not disturb, which automatically puts my watch and phone. Oh, so they're apparently not on do not disturb. If I'm on my laptop doing work and my phone keeps dinging, like the message is on my laptop, I put it on do not disturb, which automatically puts my watch and phone. Oh, so then you're not on do not disturb. So then you won't get like Facebook pop-ups and you won't get distracted from your work. Get nothing.

Oh, that's good. It doesn't tell me just now. And look, look, this is what it says on hers. Look, at the moment, Rai has notification silence and it says notify anyway. What does that mean? Oh, interesting. Oh, like you could, I can send him a message

and be like, he can discover that or I can really push the fact. Say yes, someone's dead. Say notify him. No, it's 6.30. I'm not freaking him out with someone's dead.

I don't know how he's done that with the notifications. He's supposed to notify me. Well, there must be a setting somewhere. But yeah, good to know. Good to know. The second reason,

just before we finish, that people do it is to avoid conversation. Why are they out for brunch? Why are you hanging out with your friends if you want to avoid conversation? It is a safety thing though. You know like the moment that someone goes to the toilet or something, you're like, I'm on my phone. But maybe the conversation

is branched into an area that you're bored with. You know, if it's just one-on-one, that's rude. But like if there's multiple people and they're like, oh, what do you guys think about the Kardashians going to Hulu? I'd just be like, what? See ya. Silly Little Pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole.

Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Well, today's Silly Little Pole. What type of toothbrush do you use? This is quite surprising. I thought there'd be Whaley's people with electric toothbrushes. But we asked you to use, do you have a manual, like the old hand-powered,

or do you have an electric? 55% have the manual toothbrush, 45% the electric. That is a pretty even split, isn't it? It's a lot more. I'd like to know how many people have gone to electric and then just returned to manual. I did that. Well, I've got both. Why did you go back? So I had an electric toothbrush for a while.

I was manual growing up. And then I had electric for a while. And then Aaron just started using it. Yeah, gross. I mean, you kiss each other, so there's really no difference. Yeah, we might as well share plaque as well. He just started using it and then sort of like, he claimed it. He claimed it as his own. Yeah, gotcha. He colonised my toothbrush. But electric, you can just, you can have a head each and pop it on the little stand. Yeah, I know.

I just sort of got miffed about it and so I went back to manual and now I aggressively brush my teeth with the manual while he's like grrrr. Grrrr. So, but I prefer manual now. Really? Yeah, I like to sort of feel the work. Because I got a big lecture from my dentist about, he calls them chainsaws because they recede your gums because they're so aggressive. Manual toothbrushes. No, electric.

Yeah, I use the softest of soft manual toothbrushes. These dentists, they're flip-floppers. Yeah, one minute they're on an ad saying, buy this. Yeah. Nine out of ten of them are like, do this. The tenth one's just like, no comment. Probably because they were getting a Fijian bloody holiday out of it. Now they can't be bribed by Big Brush.

Yeah. They aren't promoting the electrics. Yeah. They're like, oh, floss till your gums bleed. That's what they say. And they're, no, no, no. If your gums are bleeding, it's too hard. Yeah.

It's definitely too hard. I use a water flosser, an electric flosser. It's good. Yeah. Or a squirty felt. What do you mean he's saying you bought that? Does it go everywhere, all the water? Yeah, it's a mess.

It's an absolute mess. Yeah, right. Well, that's what... I don't remember doing it as a kid, but our kids brush their teeth in front of the mirror and it's just a...

Sprays. War zone afterwards. Oh, I know. It's so gross. Well, some comments on it. Nadine writes, both technically because it's electric,

but its battery runs flat so often I end up using it as a manual. Oh, no, I've done that. We're like... With the little round head. I'm sick of replacing them. I swear they need a battery a fortnight, but does she not have a recharging station?

You either get the ones with the batteries in the middle, or you get the one with the charging stand. Oh, no, surely you're getting a charging stand one, right? What if you don't have a PowerPoint in your bathroom? Oh, that's annoying.

You should have one of those funny-looking ones for shavers. Yeah, that has the button at the very least. Yeah, yeah. One of those funny-looking ones that looks like a sideways smile because it literally can take

a shaver from anywhere in the world. Liv says, I'm acoustic. Oh, she prefers acoustic to manual. What's acoustic? Acoustic, no power.

Oh, okay. Unplugged. Unplugged. Yeah, yeah. And I even use a wooden one because I'm acoustic. Oh, she prefers acoustic to manual. What's acoustic? Acoustic, no power. Oh, okay. Unplugged. Unplugged. Yeah, yeah. And I even use a wooden one because I'm eco-friendly, baby. Oh, yeah, the bamboo ones that you buy. But they last like two weeks until they're all sprayed and splayed and gross. Yeah.

Old plastic will last. I go full plastic. Old friend plastic. I go full plastic. Full plastic. You don't care about the environment at all? No. Why? What's wrong with the environment? She's playing party. I think it's doing okay. Old friend plastic. A good full plastic. You don't care about the environment at all? No. Why?

What's wrong with the environment? She's playing party. I think it's doing okay. Sturdy. Electric. A gross to clean, says Rebecca. Water drips inside and makes grey water slash sludge stuff. No, you've always got to rinse your electric after.

Ew, yeah. It's got a good rinse under the tap. Tell me where hers is getting gunky. She's not cleaning it after using it. But where does she... She's saying it drips inside. So it's inside the casing if you take the head off.

Mine doesn't drip inside, but you could take the head off and rinse it. It would take a second. And then I just wipe it with my towel and then put it back on. You wipe it with your towel?

Yeah. The same towel that touches the bum hole? Yeah. So you put minty... Minty toothpaste on your bum hole and bum hole juice

on your toothbrush. This is why I have a tingly butthole. Wow. No, there's a fanciardia. Yeah,

because you are. It goes both ways, doesn't it? You clean your butthole and then you wipe the toothbrush with the butthole rag. Yeah,

no. You're gross. I think because the butthole is the dirtier of the, well, is it the dirtier of the two at the end of brushing in your mouth?

You'd hope so. The bristles aren't touching the towel. It's the bit at the Well is it the dirtier Of the two Is the butthole dirty In your mouth You'd hope so The bristles aren't Touching the towel It's the bit At the bottom That connects the base You just give that A little wipe

So you want the You want the bum germs To do a bit of work For themselves And climb up the shaft Yeah yeah You don't mind feces All over the handle

You're washing the toothbrush It's fine Not once have you said You've had a clean ass though You've never My first line of defence Would have been like Excuse me Post shower I've had a clean arse though. My first line of defence would have been like, excuse me, post-shower I've got a very clean bottom.

That goes without saying. You've got to keep it spick and span. Well, it's either that or you have a gooey base at the bottom of your electric toothbrush. I don't want that. Why is he butthole gooey? Gosh. It's a whole situation. Nancy says, electric at night, manual in the morning.

She's doing both. I do manual in the morning because it's a time thing, and then electric at night. No, that's what she does too. She just mentioned night before morning. Oh, okay. So you do a thorough brush at the end of the day, and then a more whip around with a manual.

Laura says, I'm manual because I'm too lazy to charge the electric, to be honest. Bridget says because I'm a hygienist and I love my electric TB. Yeah. So she's in the know. She's a hygienist. Yeah. She's probably on big brush money though. Yeah, she is.

Probably getting paid by Oral-B. Huge, big brush money. My teeth genuinely don't feel clean if I use a manual toothbrush, says Kat. Plus I don't ever do the full two minutes if I don't have the stop brushing signal from the toothbrush. That's the good thing about the electric toothbrush is it makes you brush for two minutes.

Does it? Yeah, I'll find that. I'll be in bed, like me and Aaron will start brushing our teeth at the same time and I'm already in bed and he's still going. Yeah.

I'm like, we don't need that. You're doing 30 seconds. Yeah, I'm giving it a 30 seconds. All right. That's our silly little poll today. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there, gas prices. Through the roof.

Where were you Friday when it all went crazy? So what happened on Friday? What was the thing that changed on Friday? Dude in charge. Because we're going up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Oh, yeah. Well, What was the thing that changed on Friday? Dude in charge. Because we're going up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Oh, yeah. Well, it's all related to Russia, right? Yeah.

Because as we learned from Bad News Brad last week, they supply 9% of the world's oil. And they're like, we're going to keep that for ourselves now. And we're like, but, but, but, but, but. But I need it for my Mazda. I'm using it. And we're like, meh. So there's less supply demand, blah, blah, blah.

Price goes up, blah, blah, blah. But then on Friday, this word gets out that at midnight, it's going up like 50 cents a litre. And everybody's just like, shit the bed. I'm going to get me some petrol. I think one of the servo, one of the petrol stations said, didn't they? One of the guys in charge. He said, look, we're going to have to put this up.

Everyone's going to do it. At midnight. And so it went crazy. It was like 30 cents, 40 cents a bit. Bit of a game of telephone. It all got exaggerated along the way. Did I see some people posting you couldn't stack some discounts and stuff? Oh.

Oh. Like your AA rewards and all that. Well, I don't know about those, but I saw somebody post, like, the screen was like, you can't stack or you can't get this discount at the moment. It was going crazy. Because it was so crazy, yeah. And then the next morning, everyone's like, oh, did it even go up? Might have gone up a couple of cents, but it didn't have, like, a massive 50 cent jump.

I definitely saw petrol on the $3. Oh, yeah, but it was $3 on Friday before this. They were like, it's going to be $3.50. And the AA have said. I saw some that was close to that at the weekend. $3.50. It's like $3.40 something, $3.30 something. The AA have said over, like, yeah, I saw this last night.

They said, pack a clean pair of Dax because you're going to shit him. We're heading towards $4 a litre. Yeah, that's crazy. Wild, eh? I don't want to be smug, but it's a good time for my bicycle. You are being smug. You didn't want to be, but you very much were.

You're being real smug. Real smug. Okay, I'll stop my smugness. Okay, thank you. Come live out in rural Auckland with us. I will, but it'll take me about two hours to get there. Yeah, yeah. You'll be bloody fit, though. Oh, yeah, tell you what.

60-kilometre round trip a day. Yeah, that'll be it. You'll have quads and calves and hammies and eight flat tyres a day. Yeah, lots of flat tyres. The top six alternative modes of transport that don't require any petrol. Number six, don't go anywhere. What do you want to go anywhere for? Just stay at home.

What do you want to go anywhere for? Yeah, I saw a friend in Australia share a meme like a year ago. It was, you can't leave your house. You can't go 5Ks because of the pandemic. And now you can't go because you can't afford it. Because you can't afford to do any more than 5Ks. Should we go on? Should we zoom the show? Stay home forever more.

Zoom it in. Yeah. I bought a nice microphone the other day. You did? Yeah. It's really nice. Ready to go. I should play that sound of me crunching a hot cross bomb.

Did I send that to the group? You did, yeah. I'm like, my kids and I were making ASMR recordings at the weekend, and Sade's like, you guys are really starting to get on my nerves. And we were like, really? Are we getting on your nerves? Because we're very relaxed. Number five on the list of the top six alternative modes of transport that require no petrol whatsoever. Astral

projection. I've been working on this. Leaving the body. The spirit leaves the body and can go to any destination that you can picture and or imagine. Does it fly there? Yeah. It kind of would. It depends how you... I'm imagining it's an instantaneous transportation for mine. So we'd be looking at you, but you wouldn't be here.

You'd see I'd have a shimmer. Okay, so you're like a hologram. I'd be semi-opaque. So it's teleportation, but of the spirit. Of the spirit. Yeah. Wow. What's my body doing?

Sleeping? It's in a meditative state. Yeah. You could be at home drinking, but here working. No, no, she can't drink. She'll choke. She'll choke because her spirit's not there to tell her to swallow. So she'll put it in her mouth and then it will just block your airways.

What about an IV? Yeah, IV booze. Absolutely. A pinot IV. Yeah, a pinot IV. Yeah, great. The top six alternative modes of transport. They require no petrol.

Number four, we've all heard of bisexuals. They require no petrol and they've got a water bottle holder and great for your cardio. Those are bicycles. No, no, I'm pretty sure those are bisexuals. No, I'm pretty sure they're bicycles. Two wheels. Yeah.

And you always look very sexy on them. Yep. That's bisexuals. Oh, yeah. Where's the cup holder in bisexuals typically? You lean down and you put it between your legs. Yeah. Wherever that is.

But it's by the pedals. Yeah. That makes sense. And always keep a banana in your back pocket. I think you're definitely thinking of bicycles. I don't know. Agree or disagree. Yeah.

Number three on the list of the top six alternative modes of transport, magic carpets. You guys seen Aladdin? Yeah. Why aren't we all rocking those? So which ones are magic? Because I always see the rug sales. Persians. Persian rugs.

Any of those. Any one of them. There's that Azkaban place downtown. Are they magic? Yeah, they're at the back. You've got to ask. Yeah, you've got to ask. But how much are they? Are they magic? Yeah, they... You've got to ask. How much are they? Are they cheaper than a Tesla? No, no, no.

Well, you pay for the craftsmanship, haven't you? It depends on your pattern as well. Yeah, is it knotted? And size. I mean, I could afford a flying doormat. I could just really hold on tight. One that says, welcome.

Those mats would be horrible to sit on. One that says welcome. Yeah. That'd be hard. Those mats would be horrible to sit on. Yeah, scratchy. Oh, itchy, scratchy. Maybe put a blanket over the mat, but then the mat can't see where it's going. Yeah. No, no.

So, I don't know. Keep it in mind. Top six alternative modes of transport that require no petrol whatsoever. Number two, your feet. Your feet don't require petrol. No. You can use those a little bit more.

Well, they require fuel. You'll have to leave at about 1am to get to work on time. But to fuel the walk, you've got to eat a lot of good fresh food and veg, and that's also too expensive. That's also very expensive. Yeah. Yeah. And number one on the list are the top six alternative modes of transport.

I'd never heard of these things. They require no petrol. Electric cars. You just need a really long extension cord. Yeah, they've obviously got to be plugged in because if it's electric, where's the electricity? It's in the wall. Yeah.

You're going to have someone cabling, you know, like doing the coiling of the cable. It unrolls. Feeding it. It's like one of those hoses you pull out and you click it and then you click it again and it rewinds itself

and that's how you get home again I saw a truck run over a truck run over a cable on the motorway the other day and they had to stop oh yeah because they would have

yanked it out of the wall yeah yanked it out of the wall yeah and then they need to call their mum and they're like mum can you plug it back in so I can get to work she plugs it in

and they can keep going that's how that works well thank you for those tips Vaughn that's okay doing my part trying to save you some money. Lifesaver. Absolutely.

That is today's top six. It is back. Soundkeeper Owls is in. Good morning. Good morning. Now, the secret sound is loaded in to the button bar in front of me. We haven't heard this.

No. No, I believe, I've asked producer Jared last year, the secret sound was 0.33 seconds long. And I can see this year that the secret sound is 0.28 seconds long. How long is that? Don't tell people that.

One dip dip. It's like, it's a, well, shall I play it? Go on. Just do it. Now, no, wait, wait. I think before we play it, before we listen,

we've got to find out how much we're playing for, right? Yes, because we have done it. We've done 100,000k this season. That's what we're saying. Yeah. We're going to start on the jackpot of 50k. Halfway there.

Right. Because I saw you post last night asking if people wanted a $50,000 jackpot or queue jump opportunities. Mm-hmm. And people don't care about jumping the queue. They want the cash. Yeah. They do. Because petrol's nearly $4 a litre.

They need it now. They need it now. Yeah. All right, so it's all thanks to Neon. You can watch TV series and movies handpicked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon. They are once again sponsoring our Secret Sound competition. $50,000 is up for grabs, and it is up for grabs right now. Let's have a listen to the Secret Sound.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I just heard New Zealand groan. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Let's go again. Oh, my God. Give it to me again. Oh, no.

How long are we doing this for? I'm stressed already. Vaughan has got a very serious face on. Yeah. Is that registering anything? It's in my soul. It's in my ears. I have heard this sound before. Oh, that's harder.

That's hard. It is hard. Yeah, we're upping That's hard. It is hard. Yeah, we're upping it this time. I've decided I'm going to find a good one that will make this last 10 weeks. Well, 10 weeks? I'm going to make it. I'm so stressed. All right.

Well, let's have another listen. God, it's like a... Well, if you can call right now... It feels leathery, doesn't it? Frr. Leathery. It's got a frr. It's like a... Well, if you can call right now... It feels leathery, doesn't it? Frr. Leathery. It's got a frr.

It's got a leathery. Leather? You're hearing leather? Yeah, I'm hearing leather. I'm hearing more of a plaster. I'm hearing plaster. I'm hearing plaster. I know my leathers. Well, we'll see.

We'll see. Do you really? Okay. We'll see. Do you really? Well... Do you rock a pair of leather pants, Warren? I rock a pair of leather pants.

Squeezed myself right into those. Amy joins us. Good morning, Amy. Morning, team. How are we? Good. Now, you've been on hold there. You've heard the secret sound as much as we have.

Yes, it's a bit of a tricky one. Are you hearing leather or wood? No, I'm definitely hearing plasticky. Yes, I'm hearing plasticky as well. We're team plastic. You're all damn fools. Well, Amy, you are the very first caller through for our secret sound, all thanks to Neon.

And right now, you have the very first chance of winning $50,000. Okay. I'm going to go with, you know, when you rip the sticker part off like makeup wipes or baby wipes? Oh, yeah, yeah, to be able to pull the first one out. Yeah. Wow, just like that.

I can't even think of anything. So you're thinking more of a soft plastic. I was thinking more of like a card-like plastic. Oh, okay. Oh, right. It's definitely not leather though, is it? Okay. Well, Amy, is it? Okay. Well, Amy, you've had a few seconds to get that guess.

It's not a bad guess of being put on the spot. Yeah, being put on the spot, full stop is scary. Well done. Thanks. But it is a relief for me. That is a no means I can stick around a little longer. That is not the secret sound, Amy. Oh, Amy.

shared, and this is what kicked off the whole the customer is not always right online because retailers, people that work in retail and shops, shop assistants are sharing the moments when customers haven't been right. And this is a photo of a overripe mango that someone sellotaped back together and asked for a refund for.

Now- It's clear sticky tape. That's cool. Did they cut it and immediately, like, did they get it, get it home, cut it, find out it was rubbish, bring it back? And they just did that so it didn't juice everywhere? Or did they bring it back like a week later and they're like, something's wrong

with this mango? Yeah, I don't know. What do you do when you get rubbish? I've had that before. You know, I've cut something open, fruit or veg, and something, and it's rotten or gross. Whose problem is that? Do you take it back to the supermarket and go, my banana is stringy? I don't think that they would deny you.

I don't think the supermarket would say, go away. They'd probably just give you another banana, right, or another mango. For sure. If you've got a mango, mangoes can be like $8, $7. Who's buying an $8 mango? I only ever buy them when they're like $1 or $2. No wonder. The sellotape's a dead giveaway that they've

done something wrong to the mango. Yeah, like they've cut in. They didn't buy it taped together. But you can tell a mango's overripe because it's soft, right? You give it a little squeeze. Yeah, you've got to finger your fruit before you buy it. Yeah. You've

not finger it. Lightly No, no, no. Lightly I'm like, if it's an avocado you can roll the top. Yeah, but you can only do that once. This is the thing, everyone's like, you can test it, you roll the top off and then the next person doesn't have it. Another instance of the customer

not always being right. Somebody here posting when you steal a bra from the store and replace it with your old manky bra. And so they tried to bring in their old bra. And said, I just bought this and it's manky. And it's quite obviously colour faded from being on the washing line. I just purchased this bra. Something's happened and it's aged 10 years.

I've bought it. It's all pilly and it stinks like sweat. Yeah. So, yeah, it's got people saying the customer is not always right. And you've worked in retail. I did. I used to work in a designer clothing store in Wellington. I'm trying to think of examples.

I remember once there was a woman who came in and she really wanted this one item, but we only had it left in the smallest size possible and it wasn't her size. And she was like, well, I'll just try it on. And I was like, yeah, that's, I mean, you can give it a go. I'm never going to say to someone it's not going to fit. Then she went into the changing rooms and then came out and I was like, how did it go? She's like, yeah, it's not for me. She said, I also think there's a rip in the seam. And I was like, how did it go? She's like, yeah, it's not for me. She said, I also think there's a rip in the seam.

And I was like, you've ripped it. You've ripped it. Definitely you've ripped it. She ripped it trying to make it fit. Yeah, she made it seem like the rip in the seam was the reason she wasn't going to buy it. But it was because it was just not the right size. But I'm not going to buy this perfectly fitting dress. I mean, I love it.

I love everything about it. And it fits perfectly. I love it. And I am an age. I am an age. And I always have been an age. But let's be honest. We've all tried some clothes on and heard a little.

Oh, my God. When you get stuck around the shoulders. Never at a designer clothing store. Oh, no, no, no. What, you'd tell them? Oh, I think I've ripped it. No, no, I'd just never go to a designer clothing store. And I'd just leave it in the changing rooms.

Thank you. No, no, not for me. If it doesn't start with H and end with Allen Steins Brothers, I'm probably too cheap to shop there. So we wanted to ask you this morning if you could join in on the pile on. When was the customer not right? Like what have you had to deal with working in retail or in a store? And maybe you just had to bite your tongue

because you can't have a go at a customer. Here's a time where a customer, this is when I worked in hospital, here's a time where the customer was right and I learned a very valuable lesson. I was 18 years old working in a cafe in Wellington, just left high school, and a guy came up to me and he said, does that thing have nuts in it, that little roll? And I was like, why would a roll have nuts? Like, who's putting chopped almonds in a sandwich? I was like, no.

He said, are you sure that's not pesto? I was like, yeah, yeah, but there's no nuts in that. And then he was sitting at the table and he was like. And then he came back up to the counter. You mean pesto? Full of cashews pesto. I'm 18 years old. I don't know how to make a pesto.

And he came back up to the counter and he said, can you please just check that this doesn't have nuts? And I turned to the chef and I was like, Mark, does this have nuts? And he's like, yeah, it's got pine nuts. It's got pesto in it. And I was like, sir, this has nuts. And he had to get his EpiPen out and stab it in his leg. I would have said, sir, might I please EpiPen you?

It is my dream to EpiPen somebody. Isn't there like $100 for an EpiPen? More than that. Or more? Like that would have cost him, that was a hundred and something dollar sandwich. I'm just lucky that he wasn't deathly allergic to nuts. He obviously, because I could see him going,

kind of his throat like closing and him coughing and stuff. This is 100% a true story. Okay, so the customer can be right. Is that what you're saying? Customer's right. The server was wrong. All right, well,

0800DARLS.M We want to take some calls now. You can text as well, 9696. When was the customer not right? I just learned that an EpiPen is 140 bucks. I'm so sorry to that man. Yes, you should be.

All right, 0800DARLS.M, when was the customer not right? Give us a call. Well, people are sharing, people that work in retail and customer service are sharing the times when customers were not right. Because the saying is the customer's always right. You just – Where did that start from, the customer is always right? Like back in the day.

Sorry, that is not a time period, the day. Back in the day. It's back in the day. But I wonder where it did – someone must have coined it, right? Customer's always right. The customer's always right. The customer's always right. Yeah, but it's just the sales thing. It's about being pleasant and copying it and not, yeah,

just be like, yes, sir, yes, sir. That's why I couldn't work in customer service because if someone was fundamentally wrong. Have you met people? Yeah. Harry Gordon Selfridge. Selfridges. Of Selfridges coined the phrase,

the customer's always right, in 1909. But they're not. That is back in the day. I'm sorry. That is back in the day. 1909 is the day. Thank you. It is the day.

It's the go-to policy for floor managers and, yeah, retail assistants. So it started online when somebody shared a sellotaped mango that a customer returned because it was overripe. And it looks like they've definitely had a chunk of it. Oh, yeah. But again, the customer's right. They've got an overripe mango. So give them a new mango.

Yeah. And take back the sellotaped. Sellotaped the mango in the aged bra. I believe Barkman Turner Overdrive said it best when they said, you ain't seen nothing yet, baby, because we are hearing from everybody. Yeah. Hey, have a vent if you work in retail. Absolutely.

Oh, yes, please. Vicky, good morning. Good morning. When was the customer not right? About 20 years ago, I worked at Starbucks, and a customer came up to the counter and said to me, can I just have the key to the toilet? And I was really confused because we didn't have a toilet.

And I said, what do you mean? And they said, the room upstairs. And I said, what do you mean? And they said, the store, they were upstairs. And I said, that's not a toilet, that's a storeroom. And they were arguing with me that they'd used it before as a toilet. And I... If they've used it as a toilet, they're going to get a lot. They're going to poopies in a bucket. And so you're having this argument and you're like, well, it's obviously not a toilet.

It's not a toilet. It never has been. And they were like, no, I've used it before. And I said, well, you can't have. It's so good that they would argue with you. You work there. You know they don't. Yeah, and I, if I hadn't have been so busy, I would have taken them upstairs to show them it was a storeroom.

Were they aware there was more than one Starbucks? Maybe they thought you were the only Starbucks. Yeah. And they're working in that job. I in that job. I hated that saying the customer was always right because they were really often wrong.

Yeah, but if you worked at Starbucks, you were often wrong. My name is not Fraley. I know. You know? Sorry, Vicky, thanks for your call, Hannah. Oh, we've lost Hannah. Some messages in. She got sick of us.

Yeah, she's the customer And it's her right to hang up When we're expecting her to talk Rebecca said a dude went absolutely off at me When I worked at Mitre 10 we were open on Good Friday I was checking him out and he was like It's effing disgraceful that you're open today And it's illegal

I was like bro I'm a teenager and don't decide Our hours and you are literally in here shopping. Yes. On the day that you don't think we should be open. Well, he's not getting into heaven with that attitude. No, he's not. Not on Good Friday. And it also wasn't illegal because we had a garden centre.

That's what we call a loophole. Love a loophole. The other customers gave him funny looks. And we're just like, what is this going on about? And that customer wasn't right. Jade said they demanded a refund on a countdown product at work. Problem being I work at Pack and Save. And they just wouldn't take no for an answer.

How stupid would you feel when you realise that, right? When you say, show me the receipt. We'll hear it. I beg your pardon.'ll hear it. Oh. I beg your pardon. I'm sorry. Yeah. Happy.

That's the username. I sold a family a pair of kids' ski gloves. They tried to return them about 10 minutes later saying they weren't waterproof. And I leaned down and I said to the kid, how did these get wet inside? And the kid said, I filled them up with snow. And the mother was like, it doesn't matter how the snow got in there. We need another pair. So they basically just wanted a dry pair to use.

Hundreds of text messages in as well. I work in the glass industry and people would ring all the time blaming us for glass breaking. You'd say, oh, how did it break? And they'd say, well, the cricket ball barely touched it at all. But it's broken now and we demand a free replacement. I worked at a clothing store. A lady tried to return her shoes with no receipt.

That wasn't a problem, but the problem was she'd bought them last week. So she'd been out all weekend and they were completely destroyed and then tried to return them the next week. No, no, no, no. I was a deli manager at New World and an old lady bought back a chicken skeleton. What was she complaining about? And said, this did not taste good.

But I ate all of it. But it was a skeleton. I ate it down to the carcass. Yeah. Oh, but did not taste good. But I ate all of it. But it was a skeleton. I ate it down to the carcass. Yeah. But that's actually sad. She might not have been able to afford another chicken. Maybe not. Maybe not have been all there either.

She could just keep going, couldn't she? She'd eat a chicken right down to the carcass, return it. This one also was not good. Not a shred of chicken left on those bones. Not even good for a soup. It's got nothing on it. A lady came into my work and she said, I see you've got milkshakes, but I want a thick shake.

I said, cool, I'll just add more ice cream. Yeah. She was like, great, I love thick shakes. So I made her a thick shake and she walked out and she came back in and she's like, this is too hot, I can't get it up this drawer. God, I hate people. People suck.

I see you've got milkshakes. I like the challenge of a thick shake. As thick as you can. Here's the thick shake. It's too hard to get up the straw. Just wait for it to melt a bit. What would they have to do? Just pop it back in the blender and add more milk?

What would you do? Split it in half, add more milk? Oh, God. I'm pleasing some people. in the blender and add more milk? What would you do? Split them in half, add more milk? Oh, God. I had a customer return a plate with just breadcrumbs and demanded a refund because the sandwich wasn't nice. I was like, well, you ate the whole sandwich. And they said, yeah, well, I thought I was going to get to a good bit. This is so horrible.

You're taking the piss. I work in a big box hardware store. The customer wanted to return a toilet seat because apparently it didn't fit the toilet. We opened the box and discovered an array of faecal matter under the seat. And it was definitely not the seat from the box. So they'd bought a toilet seat, take it home, put it on, and bought in their old toilet seat to try to get a refund on it.

But we wouldn't have known if we hadn't checked the box while they were there. Do you reckon that's when you quit? Do you reckon like pulling out a pooey toilet seat, that's when you quit? No, see, I'd like the challenge of getting the person to admit this is their old toilet. And if they wouldn't, I'd just be like, this is crazy.

And that would be my whole day. I'd waste the whole day arguing with them. It'd be fantastic. Yeah. So many messages. I'm sorry we can't get to them all, but you've really lost my faith in humanity. Yeah. Yeah. So many messages. I'm sorry we can't get to them all, but you've really lost my faith in humanity.

Yeah, totally. Again, gone. Alright, 7.30, Secret Sound. All thanks to Neon. $100,000. Current jackpot is at $50,000. And this is the sound that could win you the $50,000. I'm going to need that about 100 more times.

That's hard. It's hard, right? It's hard. Stepping up to the podium for the 10th year of Nuro, your gold medalist. Where's my medal? Well, a chance for you to win cash as well. Keep an eye on our Instagram, FVHZM.

Sunday nights, we ask you, why do you deserve a medal? Like, what have you done? The little things. Yeah. What have you done with your life? What have you done lately? What have you done? Like, those small little chores that you put off, you finally do it, and then no one cares.

You just need some, I don't know. In this day and age, it might seem trivial, but it's good to recognise these things, isn't it? Exactly. And we've got cash as well for our gold, silver and bronze medals, all thanks to Xero, simplifying everyday business tasks, making it easy to see all of your business information online. We welcome to Where's My Medal, Roxanne.

Good morning. Good morning, guys. How are you? Good, good. Why do you deserve a medal? I think I know. Well, on Friday, before hustling out of that work office,

I took it upon myself to make sure that I cleaned out my work protein shaker instead of walking into that stinky thing this morning. Oh, no. I like to leave mine in the car to let it heat up and fester. There is nothing...

There's some road ones that I found after about a month under there. You throw them out if it's been more than a week because that smell is disgusting. Hot, hot rinse. You know it's bad when you open the protein... It goes... Because it's growing some cultures.

It's only an ecosystem at that stage. Yeah, good. Okay. I need a protein shake. Roxanna, absolutely. Do you not give it a rinse after every use straight away? I mean, no, no. I have about two or three a day, so I just sort of reuse,

and then at the end of the day I mean to wash it out. How many do you have a day? About three. Three of three protein shakes a day. Are of the day I meant to wash it out. How many do you have a day? About three. Three of three protein shakes a day. Are you just like jacked? Yeah. Well, no, not really.

I'm imagining ripped Roxanne. She's just sitting there right now. She's probably doing barbell. I reckon you'd be a bit tooty at your desk as well. Absolutely.

Does it shoot out? On three protein shakes a day. All right, Roxanne, wait there. Our medal ceremony is soon. If there were mystery skid marks in the work toilet, it's Roxanne. Fingers have been pointed.

Ashley, good morning. Morning. Now, why do you deserve a medal? So I bought an Apple Watch about three years ago. Okay. And last week, I managed to close all three rings seven times. Whoa! And is that for the first time in three years?

First time in three years. Don't let me feel bad. So you got the old seven-day award. I got the seven-day award, guys. Yay! Didn't you do a year? I did a whole year. He had to borrow my Apple Watch.

Rags. Just so that he could close the rings for a couple of days. Seven days is still good. No, it's great. I'm not having a go. It's a fantastic. Did you break the streak over the weekend or are we still on the streak? Let's just say the seven days isn't going so well. Well, you had to reward yourself with a day of rest.

Even God himself at the end of creating everything. On the seventh day, I needed to rest. Yeah, I might have a day. He didn't close his rings on the seventh day. No, he didn't. All right. Okay, wait there, Ashley. Medal ceremony minutes away.

Yasmin, good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? Good. Good. Thank you. Why do you deserve a medal? Well, I've lived in my house for three or so years.

And this weekend, I finally cleaned the oven for the first time ever in my life. Oh, wow. I don't think I've ever cleaned my oven. Did you use oven cleaner? I did. However, it says no scrubbing required. Well, it was definitely scrubbing required. Yeah, that's nonsense.

I tell you that. You've got to scrub. Plushy stuff everywhere. It was awful. What about those flash ovens that go to like 4 million degrees and clean themselves? They still need to be cleaned properly every now and then because it just like, it just bakes everything to a cinder. Yeah.

Like a crematorium. Yeah, basically for cheese. And then can you go in and sort of sweep it all up? That's the idea. That sounds so ideal. I haven't cleaned our oven. Did you scrub the oven racks? Sorry, they're actually

still outside soaking with that deathly poison that they are. Might I recommend the first time you use that oven, open all the doors and the windows and make sure none of the family

are home. Yes. Because there'll be some toxic fumes. And next time, maybe just try a little baking soda and vinegar. Better living. Eco. Yeah, those good hacks, eh? Good first step, though.

That's it. That's a big task. It is. No one wants to do it. Well done. All right, well, now it's time for our medal ceremony. Judges will decide, defer. Okay, let's start with which one of these. Tell me which one. That one? It's time for our medal ceremony. Judges will decide, defer. Okay.

Let's start with which one of these. Tell me which one. That one for gold? This one or this one? That one. This top one. Yeah. Okay.

That's the Lord's work. Yeah, yeah. And then happy bronze? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Bronze medal today for services unto herself. After being the owner of an Apple Watch for three years, she finally did a seven-day streak.

Ashley, congratulations. Thank you. You won our bronze prize. Our bronze prize today $100 cash Well done Thanks to our friends at Xero Silver medal She might not be around long

To enjoy the dizzying heights of fame With a silver medal Because she recently sprayed her oven With very toxic chemicals Let's hope she gives it a silver medal because she recently sprayed her oven with very toxic chemicals. Let's hope she gives it a great rinse before she turns it on. Yasmin, for services to yourself and finally setting the baked cheese on the bottom of your oven free, you win today's silver medal.

Sweet. Well done. $200 as well. Which means... Emotional. For services to relatability, because, oopsie, we've all forgotten and left it in the hot car over the weekend.

Or our gym bag the entire summer. Oh, yes. Oops. She cleaned her protein shaker rather than leaving it manky at work all weekend and doing herself and her workmates a huge favour. But she drinks three of them a day, so she's totally tootie.

Congratulations must go to Roxanne. Yes, $500, Roxanne, $500. Imagine the amount of protein you can buy with $500. Oh, I know, I know. You know, the first thing that I'm going to be doing. Yeah, getting ripped. Well done. Well done, I know. I know. You know, the first thing that I'm going to be doing. Yeah. Getting ripped. Well done.

Well done, Roxanne. Raising children in 2022. Lots of hurdles. Probably as many hurdles as in the 80s, but my parents didn't bother. Left you to it.

Yeah. Eat with a knife and a fork, no elbows on the table, no swearing, and chew with your mouth shut. That was about your social etiquette that I was taught. Or you get a clip around the ears. Yeah. But we've been trying to teach our children a bit more to do with, I don't know, society functioning.

Okay. One of the aspects of that is racism. Yeah, right. We've always been pretty open with them about how you can't say that. Yeah. You know, you've got to think about other people's feelings when you're saying things and don't, you know, judge people on a whole. Yeah.

Your children are mixed race themselves? They are, correct. Yeah, people often don't know that when they say derogatory things about people of Asian heritage in front of my wife, who is indeed of Asian heritage. And so yesterday when I was putting on some very thick sunscreen, very thick sunscreen that didn't rub in very well. Oh, the purple, the purple tones, like it sits on your skin

and goes kind of ashy and white and purple. Yeah. This was thick. PVA glue. Yes. I've had that stuff. Horrible. Yeah. And I walked out to where my family was sitting and I said, look at me! I'm a big white man! And August said, you can't

say that. That's racist. And she told you all that? Yeah. And I said, um, nah, um, it's not. I don't know how to tell you it's not, but it's not. I said, I am white. And she's like, yeah, but you've made yourself more white. You're doing whiteface? You're whitefacing.

Yeah, I'm whitefacing. And I said, well, no, it's the sunscreen. It's an unintentional side effect. And she said, you can't say, oh, look at me, I'm white. I said, but I am white. There's no whiter person. And you're really white. I'm really white.

I'm down the Ancestry.com. Not even a kiss of colour? Not even a smooch of Iberian Peninsula. Not a dash of spice? Not a sprinkle of Mediterranean seasoning. Damn it. Nothing. So yeah, that was interesting. You're basically a potato,

aren't you? I am. A boiled potato. So yeah, that was interesting to try to explain how that wasn't racist, but I always feel like when you're explaining how something's not racist, it is. It was really confusing. I just left it in the end. Did you start it with, I'm not racist, but... Is that how you started not racist? It is. It was really confusing. I just left in the end. Did you start it with, I'm not racist, but...

Is that how you started the conversation? It was like that, but it was like, it's not racist because... And you know, you'll often hear somebody try to justify racism. No, it's not racist if it's true.

Yeah. That is a hard one to navigate. But yeah, I was just like, no, it's... And then I just walked out. I'll tell you what though, I didn't get sunburned though. I was just like No it's And then I just walked out I tell you what though I didn't get sunburnt though And I was out in the sun all day

I was going to say you look healthy That thick stuff You know it works No it does It works Was it safe to just zinc yourself From head to toe Given just how damn white I am

Yeah I've really got to be careful in the sun That's not racist Because it's true It's true yeah Sounds complicated Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Play ZM ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

secret sound. And at 1 o'clock, it's a little bit different. Yeah, we are doing a Q-jump this season. So, instead of being anxious like myself and calling and ringing and ringing you know, and maybe not even getting through, you can go and download the iHeartRadio app.

Once you're on there, go to ZM. I'm looking at it now. Hayley's got it up on her phone as well. Yeah, I opened it. Piece of cake. Easy. I can't remember my password. Go to ZM and there's a little microphone there. Yes, and so this microphone is your way of queue jumping. So you click it, you go, I think the secret sound is whatever.

I'm not going to say an example. Whatever. This is dangerous. She nearly let it slip. It's in her eyes. And then you just submit it. Georgia will randomly pick an audio guess and she'll call you. Okay. All right, so download the iHeartRad and she'll call you. Okay, all right.

So download the iHeartRadio app for the one o'clock cue jump. Here we go. It's a tough one. It is a tough one. So this is the secret sound. Give it to me again. Yeah, I feel like the more it plays, the more confused I get. Michaela, good morning.

Morning. All right, you've heard the secrets out as much as the rest of us. Yeah. It's fresh. Is that doing anything for you? Is that triggering any sounds? Sort of, but yeah, I think it might be the ripping of some cardboard.

Oh, like a corrugated cardboard rip? Yeah, like when you're ripping it up for like recycling or something like that. It's not a bad guess. It's not a bad... It gives me, like we said the same thing, it gives me a plasticky feeling. Yeah, you're going more than a cardboard, Michaela, and Vaughan's sticking with he believes me a plasticky feeling. Yeah, you're going overboard, Michaela.

And Vaughn's sticking with he believes it's leather-based. It's a leather-based sound. Smacky leather. Wet. But then from previous sounds, I've been wrong. And, you know, it's that up-close noise, isn't it? It's an up-close 0.28 seconds of whatever it is. We're not giving the money away easily.

No. All right, well, for $50,000, Michaela. You've gone with ripping of a cardboard. Michaela, second guess ever of the season. And it's not the secret sound. No. All right. Hey, Michaela, though, this week, as a bit of a bonus,

we are giving every guest on air a 12-month Neon subscription, so that's all yours. Well done. Oh, awesome. Thank you. You can check out Yellow Jackets and many of the amazing TV shows that are on Neon. All right, your next chance is coming up at 11.

Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, there's a woman online, Dani Pearsall. Dani Pearsall. She's sharing her experience growing up in America, in Minnesota.

Okay. Minnesota, yeah. Yeah, Minnesota, yeah. When she was in high school, they used to call her the dragon lady. No, I'm not laughing at bullying. Why? That's absolutely terrible.

Apparently her natural resting face was very stern and furrowed. As someone with a bitchy resting face, I relate. Absolutely. She said she was a sporty girl when she was growing up. It didn't put a lot of focus on her appearance or anything. It wasn't of great importance to her. And she was bullied for being somewhat of an ugly duckling. Right.

Not okay. Not okay at all. But now she's shared a photo of herself. Here, I'm showing you the side-by-side. Oh, wow. Here she is in high school. Very fringy. Here she's very fringy. Very fringy.

Min fringy, I'd call that. An absolute DIY number there. The glasses are a shame. They're a shame. You can't help it when you're young, what glasses do your parents buy you? I was a kid that got very unfortunate glasses.

What were your glasses like as a kid? The cheapest ones. Oh, yeah. They were like wiry. They're in fashion now. They're like those ones that creeps wear. Oh, yeah. You know, Bieber wears them and stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what's going on, how they did the full rounds, but I tell you what, when I was wearing them in the mid, early 90s, there certainly wasn't. They weren't cool. No, sir. No, sir, they were not. Yeah. Well, now she's had an absolute glow

up. You know? Yeah, the photo of her now, she's just kind of, yeah, growing up. She's very pretty. You know, her features have settled in. She's got rid of that horrendous fringe. Skin's cleared up. And she's sharing her experience of basically once being an ugly duckling

and now being someone that people find very attractive. She said that people treat her completely differently. And she claims, you know, her personality has not changed. She's always been the same kind of active, fun, lovely, bubbly girl. Do you know, people say that as well when they lose a lot of weight. Like they lose a lot of weight and become like, you know, completely different looking. To the point where they might run into friends

and friends do a double take because they don't even recognise them. Yeah. And people say that that's when they really realise how shallow people are. Yeah, I know. I remember having a – I learnt my lesson. A friend of mine who had a very dramatic weight loss and I hadn't seen them for a while and I saw her and I said, oh, my God, you look incredible. She said yeah no one tells you that

when you're fat. And I was like it's right. I wouldn't comment on your body before. She wasn't fat but it was just a different body. And she was like yeah people treat you completely differently when you're a smaller size. Yeah because I remember someone saying oh people will hold the door for me

and stop at pedestrian crossings. But in your head you're still the same person. And it must be very, must be difficult. Well, this happened to me. I went to prom with a girl. And as we arrived, she took her glasses off and shook her hair out. Then she won homecoming queen. That's crazy.

Okay, cool. Of course. And then, like, the jocks all wanted to be with her. But then I took off my glasses and shook my hair, and I got homecoming queen. Okay. Did you originally take her to prom as a deer? Because she was so ugly.

No, but that was going to happen. That was going to happen. That was what the jocks wanted to do. Yeah. Right, okay. But then she found out just beforehand that it was a prank. Yeah, right. And they were going to throw cat food on her.

And then she went with me instead, and we both took off our glasses. I'll repeat this in case you guys want to try it at home. Take off your glasses and shake your hair. Yeah. And we were both just like super hot from then. That's what TVs and movies teach us. Is this doing it? I'll take my hair out.

I'm not wearing my glasses. Whoa, who's that over there? Did that do it? Wow, yeah. Did you see I shook my head in quite a bit of dandruff sort of flu? Yeah, that didn't happen when we went homecoming, King and Queen. Flu into the air, that's hot. Yeah.

This was the opposite to me. I was a hot teenager. I still look at pictures of me through 16 to 19. I was like, God damn. Yeah. And then you, and I don't want to. No, no, sorry, you're insinuating. No, you said earlier.

You said earlier you've gone downhill. And you didn't deny it? You didn't say anything about a sex? You said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we wanted to ask this morning if this has ever happened to you. Like, have you ever had a glow-up and have people treated you differently? Yeah, they call it ugly duckling syndrome, but we don't want to ever insinuate that any kids are ugly.

No. But did you sort of, I don't know, did you have an absolute glow up and it shocked people and have you experienced they treat you differently now? Yeah, like maybe before things weren't done for you or said to you and now they are. Yes. Little things like holding the door

or... Alright, well 0800 dance.am, you can give us a call. Text in 9696. Did you have a glow up and do people now treat you differently? Well, a woman online has gone viral after sharing her experience of having a glow up from being what she said, not us, of being an ugly duckling as a kid and now being a 10 out of 10 hot hottie. Is she noticing people treat her way differently?

Treat her completely differently despite her personality being essentially the same. And we asked you if you've had a similar experience, having a bit of a glow up. Some messages in, someone said we call it long bottoming, because of Neville Longbottom of Harry Potter. Oh my gosh. I met him in person,

I was flabbergasted. Yeah, yeah. How did you meet him in person? I did a small role on Baby Done, the New Zealand film that he starred in. Oh, yeah. Yeah, with Rose Matafeo. And yeah, I met him and he's a hot, hot, hot.

He's a handsome, he's a handsome man. So in real life, you were like... Yeah, I wouldn't shag Neville. Is he a kid? Just when I said that I was. The oldest we ever saw him in the movies was last year, high school. All right, I stand by it then.

But what was his real name? Matthew. Matthew. Yeah, Matthew someone. Yeah, he's a hottie. Broderick. Matthew Broderick. Someone said, I became very sick and lost a lot of weight.

People can keep congratulating me and tell me how great I look. I was like, I am like very, very ill. I've done that. They were like, well, you really do look great. I asked my friend before we were close friends, what's your secret? And he said, cancer.

You would just die. I just wanted the earth to eat me alive. Oh my God. What's your secret? That was cancer. Kirstie, good morning. Good morning. So, well, have you That was cancer. Kirsty, good morning. Good morning. So, well, have you had a glow-up? This happened to you?

Yeah, no, definitely. So, as a kid, I was quite roundy and had bright ginger hair, freckles, those big goggly glasses. Yeah, it sounds cute. And I was born in the country Wales, but the kids used to call me the whale from Wales Oh, I will murder all of them I would walk into a room and they'd be like Do you hear that noise? It's the whale

Oh my god Did you ever snap and stab any of them with snips or anything? Oh, no That's why snips had a blunt end Yeah, that's why we moved to New Zealand. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yeah, so my mum actually calls me, my nickname is Ugly Duckling

because I was not the cutest kid. And now I'm in my mid-30s and newly single and I go to the gym and I have really, really long, long legs. You're hot. Say it. You're hot, Kirsty. I'm hot. You're hot.

I'm on my dating apps and it's just getting bombarded. Yeah, baby long, long legs. Say it. You're hot, Kirsten. I'm hot. You're hot. You're hot. I'm on my dating apps and it's just getting bombarded. Yeah, baby. You're hot. Good stuff. You're hot, man. Good for you. I feel good. And do you find people treat you differently?

Oh, yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah. Like, people just want to talk to me and I'm like, I don't know what to say to you because I'm still my self-conscious person on the inside. Yeah, that's right. Because it doesn't disappear overnight. No, it doesn't.

Have you ever seen any of these kids around that said mean things to you when you were a kid? Oh, yeah. I go back to my hometown because my sister actually lives up there and people just look at me like, who is this person? Who are you? Who's this blonde hottie?

And I'm like, it was me. Spread your wings. That's a yeah. Good for you. Good for you. Spread your wings on you. That's amazing. Slippers or whatever whales used to get around.

Thanks, Kirsty. Tails. Tasha, you had a glow up and do people treat you differently now? Yeah. Hi, guys. Yeah, no, definitely. I was not the cutest kid ever at school. I actually got bullied quite a lot and then left school

and just kind of went through the full-on, like, gym, eating healthy, being, you know, fabulous. Yeah. Then dyed my hair red and got a lot of attention. And I actually had one guy I went to school with, I bumped into him at a club and he was like, wow,

you look so pretty now. Can I have your number? And I was like, no. In a thousand years. Amazing. You've always been beautiful but now I've got to say, you sound hot. You're hot. Thanks. Amazing, Tasha, thanks always been beautiful, but now I've got to say, you sound hot. You're hot. Thanks.

Yeah, amazing. Tasha, thanks. You called some messages in. I got better looking as I got older. In my late teens, early 20s, I was told I was nothing to look at. Oh, that's ruthless. Who said that? In my 40s and 50s, I look 10 years younger than anyone my age,

and I get great comments. I even got ID'd the other day and I'm 46. You got ID'd at 46? Yeah, good work. And also, what are you using on your skin? Oil of Olay. Obviously. Obviously.

It's the only one. Rice bran oil. My mum took me to visit one of our old neighbours. Last time she saw me, I was about 10. And I was 28 when I saw her again and she said, oh my God, the ugly duckling has blossomed into a beautiful swan. But I wasn't aware until that moment. They were the ugly duckling?

Yeah, that ugly. That's good that they weren't aware. I was a very skinny teenager. I was six foot when I was 15. And since then I filled out, go to the gym at 100 kgs, 8% body fat. 100 kgs? 8%? That's a unit. Yeah.

That's a real unit. Did you need a moment? Is there a profile picture? What are we dealing with here? Yeah, thank you to the messengers too who want to see a picture of the redheaded girlfriend before. This is not a dating service that we're setting up here. No, no.

Talk about a glow up actually, Vaughan. You have found your light right now. Well, the sun's reflecting off the window across the road and I am just... You have had a glow up from 6am till right now. It's our golden hour. It truly is. You're gorgeous. Fact of the day, day, day,

day, day. Today's fact of the day is in the UK there is a pet blood bank A what? Like a blood bank here Right The New Zealand Blood Service There's blood taken to hospitals for when there's emergencies I need blood. And they text you.

They text you when they use it. They say you've saved a life today. So do people take their tabby down to the blood bank? Then you can donate. And then do they give them a cat biscuit afterwards? I'd imagine so. So from what I can see, pet owners, you pick, I have a dog.

Find out how your dog could become a life-saving blood donor. I have a cat. We're working on launching a blood bank for cats. Yeah. You pick. I have a dog. Find out how your dog could become a life-saving blood donor. I have a cat. We're working on launching a blood bank for cats. Right. And I have an alpaca. Our blood processing service for alpacas. Those are just the three animals that they're covering. Those are all I can see that they the pet blood bank. Now what if your male alpaca has sex with other male alpacas?

Yeah, are they allowed to? Or it's recently had a tattoo. This is true. Or it grew up in London. It did grow up, but not in the 80s. Not during Mad Cow. In the 80s. Not Mad Cow.

I don't know, but let's click. I have a dog. Find out how your dog could become a donator. So we're just like the human blood service, but for pets, I can't imagine either of any of our dogs calmly letting a needle be injected into their arm and then reclining in a chair. And you don't really get to tell them what's happening and why.

Yeah. I never really thought about it, but you would need a lot of pet blood. They can't use human blood? Can't use human blood. But you might be thinking, do dogs have like A, B? A is plus. Oh, yeah, type. The type of blood.

O. They don't. They only have positive and negative. Okay. And negative blood type can do anybody. So a negative blood type can go into a positive dog, but a positive blood type can't go into a negative. Positive can do positive, negative can do negative,

but negative can do both. Okay. So if you had a negative dog or cat, that would be perfect for giving blood. That would be better. That would be better, yeah. That would be more what they're after. Wow.

So, but only dogs, they're working on cats. They're working on cats. And alpacas. So what do New Zealand vets do when they need like cat or dog blood? I don't know. They probably wouldn't need as much

as like a hospital, right? Because it would just be, what if there was an accident and a dog lost blood if it got run over by a car or something? You've got to give it a little bit of a top up. Yeah. I mean, when we moved to our semi-rural existence, the vet came around for like the goats and stuff when we started getting animals. And she was saying that she once set up a line straight from one alpaca to another for a blood transfusion in the paddock. Oh, my God.

Yeah, to save this other alpaca. Wow. It cost a fortune. And then the alpaca died anyway. Oh. It was not. But she said this is what happens when people have never lived on a farm and then they move to a lifestyle block and they're like,

save my beautiful alpaca. And then they spend thousands of dollars and it dies anyway because that's life, isn't it? Well, I wanted alpacas, but you told me they scream. Absolutely not. That sounds like the screams of children. And they evolved to live up very, very tall mountains in South America. Yes.

They're used to really rocky high altitude cold terrain and then we jam them at sea level on subtropical soft soil of Auckland and we're like, why are you sick all the time you dumb animal? Why are you screaming? Yeah. You need to be shaved again. You're sweating. It's too hot. That's what they scream like.

Not for me. And that's just a general warning. I know they're cute but sometimes we don't have to have animals everywhere. So today's fact of the day is in the UK there is a pet blood bank. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. People are saying this happens in New Zealand too. What? There's not so much a blood bank as there might be like, that might have like a list of dogs that are calm and good to go. Huh?

Huh? Wow. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. 660 on ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. 660 on ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, it's 22 minutes away from 8. From 9? From 10? From 10?

From 9? From 11? Speaking of 60, we sort of stuffed up my segue from 660. No, no, it was... It only worked for a while and then we stuffed it all up. Speaking of 60 though, 60 Seconds... That's what it's called, isn't it? It is called 60 Seconds, yeah. But the band is 660.

It's 660 Seconds. It's not 660 Seconds, it's just 60 Seconds. It's a new talent show coming to TVNZ2 tonight, hosted by ZM's very own Clint Roberts, who joins us in studio. Morena. Morena, everybody. This is very exciting. Tell us about the premise of the show.

The premise of the show. The premise of the show is you have to show us how talented you are in just 60 seconds. Oh, that's good. Ain't nobody got time for anything longer than 60 seconds anymore. People harping on all the time. It's TikTok mentality. I was going to say that's six TikToks. Yeah.

Swipe next, swipe next. So you get 60 seconds on stage to show us what you can do. And then our talent scouts, the amazing Laura Daniel, the very funny Pax Asadi, and the brand new to TV like this, Tegan Yorath, are going to bid real money on these people to try and buy them for their team. They're going to spend 200 grand on these people.

Wow. And when it's talent, is it just singing or is it singing, dancing or is it just any kind of talent? Everything. Any kind of talent. So if you're good at mouth stuff, you can do mouth stuff. Not on TV, too.

It's 7.30. Yeah, I probably did a little bit longer. If you're good at foot stuff, you can do foot stuff. Okay, well, again, you want to be careful how far down the foot stuff we go at 7.30 on to.

But basically, if you think it's a talent, do it on stage and you'll find out pretty quickly if it's a talent or not because you'll either get money bit on you or you won't. Fletch, if you were to go on this show, what would be your talent that you would show? I could peel the

banana with my toes. Would that be good? Can you? I can, yeah. Would that take up the whole 60 seconds though? So it's got to be 60 seconds. You can't be wrapped up by 30 and be like, I could probably pad it out with a joke. Well you could, you could, but you have 60 seconds to

bring the heat. So you should then eat the banana with your feet. Oh, I don't know if I'm flexible enough. Once they get bit on, do they go to like a next round? Yeah, we've got quarters, semis and finals. Yeah, because that talent, you know, you see it once, you've seen it once. It's a bit one dimensional. Yeah, that's where you

see those acts on talent shows and they do something amazing and you're like, well, what are you going to do next? Well, you need a different fruit or a different body part. Yeah, oh, I could go to a Fiji, that would be hard. Cut it in half. Yeah. Scoop it out with a spoon. Sure. With your toes. Throw the toenails. So it's New Zealand wide. Scoop it out with a spoon. Sure. With your toes. That's very dexterous. Throw the toenails.

So it's New Zealand-wide. People from all over the country have entered to be on the show. Yeah. People from all over the place. Are there some weird talents out there? There's some weird ones, yeah. Some weird stuff? There's a lot of your standard stuff that you'd expect on a talent show, like really talented singers and dancers.

But then there's a guy who does freaky stuff with razor blades. Oh, okay. Yeah. There's a guy who does freaky stuff with razor blades. Oh, okay. Yeah. There's a Harry Potter themed dog. There's like cultural dance groups. And then there's one comedian on the show who is 65 years old and has never done stand up comedy before, who I think everybody is just going to love her. You're going to go, not only are you funny,

your story is amazing, and I want you to win tens of thousands of dollars. And she has to do a set in 60 seconds. That's right. That's hard. That's really hard because there's no time to warm up. No. And that's the same with all of the acts.

You have to come out of the gates blazing because, yeah, you've only got 60 seconds. Whereas normally you'd use 60 seconds to build up to like one punchline, right? Absolutely. You've got to do a bit of crowd work. How are we feeling tonight? Who's on a date tonight?

Make some noise. You don't have time for that. No, no, no. That's it. So what's the grand prize overall? So the grand prize is $30,000. And you could make that much or more across the season as well. So if you get money bid on you in the heats

and you're one of the top two, you go through to the quarters, but you keep the money. You keep that money. So if you make 10 grand in the quarters, you take that into the quarters and even if you get eliminated in the quarters, you keep that money.

You get to bank it. And then you might make 20 grand again in the next run, depending on how much those scouts are willing to bid on you. I like this. Right? I like this a lot. And it's on tonight. And it's on tonight. I like this. Right? I like this a lot. And it's on tonight.

And it's on tonight. The first episode is on tonight at 7.30 on TV2 and it's on once a week, every week for the next eight weeks. What a cast as well. And I'm the host and I have a very nice spray tan. I bet. Yes, you do. Okay. It's faded now, but it was very nice.

Someone said it looked like I've been to Raro. Oh, beautiful. That sort of tan. Just a kiss. That sort of tan. Just a kiss. You've got to be very careful when you're doing the spray tan because you don't want to be brown facing.

No, you don't. There's a line there. There is a line. Definitely a line and I trod that line. A chance for you to win as well when you're watching at home. There'll be a ZM keyword

that pops up. Just text that each episode to 9696 and be able to win one of eight Panasonic 55-inch 4K smart LED TVs Yeah So exciting

How good Make sure you're watching tonight Clint thanks so much Thanks guys So I said I've got some bad news But we are going to temper that with Three good news stories We can't end the show like that

Good news, good news, bad news, good news That's what this segment's called Good, good, bad, good Good, good, bad, good news, good news, bad news, good news. That's what this segment's called. Good, good, bad, good. Good, good, bad, good. Yeah. Good, good, bad, good. Should I go first?

Sure. Guys, this is so cute. So the world's oldest couple in terms of they've been together for the longest amount of time. They are 108 and 109 years old, have just celebrated their 90th wedding anniversary. And to celebrate, they popped her back in her frock and look at his face as he's

going towards it. He's fixing a veil. 90 years they've spent together and they're absolutely still like, look, he's kissing her on the hand and she's giggling. She's like, who's this? They honestly just look confused. No, look at them. They're absolutely.

That is bliss. Lovely news. So happy anniversary to the lovely couple. I just realised my good news is related to bad news. Does that still count? Does it make bad news into good news? Is it tinged? Is it tinged with badness?

Well, I just wanted to say that Mila Kunis, who is Ukrainian, Correct. Moved to the US as a young kid. Her and Ashton Kutcher have raised $20 million US for the Ukrainian crisis. And they did it in a week. Yeah. They were matching, weren't they, as well? So they weren't just like, hey, donate to this bank account or this GoFundMe.

They were actually matching. They were matching them. They did it in a week and they shared a video saying that they're not going to stop. They have a goal of $30 million, which they'll do this week. Because he invested in Uber and all kinds of tech companies, right? And he's worth, yeah, he's worth $200

million. They're very rich. Yeah. I didn't know he was that rich, though. Because he invested in heaps of startups back in the day. And he would have made a ton of money out of punked. Tons. You know? Tons.

Yeah. So much money. We're getting punked. Okay, that's good. That's good, guys. And I also wanted to mention as well, if you're in New Zealand wanting to donate, the New Zealand Herald has teamed up with World Vision, who we've worked with in the past and do amazing work.

You can go to the Herald, and they're raising donations at the moment, which goes straight to World Vision to help. Do they have a goal? With the crisis. Well, this thermometer certainly... Yeah, I was just looking. I love a budget thermometer.

I don't know why we use a thermometer. You fill it up. It's a good visual representation of we need to get to the top of the thermometer. How much have they raised so far? At the moment, just over $200,000. I think they're wanting to donate or raise half a million or more. But see, to me

this would have been the perfect opportunity to use the Ukrainian sunflower. Because you know how the sunflower is the flower of Ukraine. They could have had a fundraising sunflower and call it the Sunfly Razor. Well, it's too late now. They've started it, haven't they?

Yeah, they have. Is it too late to change it? Well, yeah, let's tear them down for their efforts to fundraise money for Ukraine. Now, the bad news is related to the Russian invasion and the oil sanctions and the price of fuel going up because Uber, and this is the bad news, Uber are bringing in a temporary fuel charge, a surcharge.

So it'll last 60 days and it will be on all trips in New Zealand, the company said in a statement. And the surcharge means drivers will receive about 40 cents extra on an average trip per kilometre. Jeepers. But because I saw a friend on his story, he does like weekend Ubering and he was just like, I don't know if I can keep doing Uber for much longer.

This is last week. Because apparently they're hardly even breaking even. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense that they have to pay for the fuel and we have to pay for the privilege. Even in a Prius. Yeah, he's got some kind of half EV vehicle. And he was saying, yeah, it's just not worth it.

So that's just another thing that's going up. I know that the Prime Minister has said in morning interviews with some news organisations today the government is meeting today to look at relief and there'll be an announcement at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the presser. So whether they're going to take a bit of tax off the fuel

that can't come fast enough. I would love it if they were like, oh, just with the fuel thing, have you guys heard of these discount vouchers at supermarket? Yeah. You should use them. You should use them. If you stay around at the South Serve checkout, it prints out this piece of paper.

It spits them out, yeah. Yeah, you can't stack them. No, I've tried, but you can't stack them. Okay, so that's good. Last good news. Let's hear some good news. Good, good badge. Yeah.

Saudi Arabian scientists have invented a solar panel that also draws moisture from the air so it can create electricity and also moisture to grow gardens underneath the solar panels. They've invented this hydrogel. Have we got enough moisture in the air at the moment? No, no, this isn't for us. This is for areas that climate has changed,

from climate change, or areas where they don't have water pipes and stuff at the moment. Okay. So apparently offers a sustainable low-cost strategy to improve food and water security for people living in poverty-stricken and dry climate regions. Oh, great idea. That is good news.

Good news. That's also a Star Wars. That's what they do on Tatooine, the moisture farm, and they take the moisture out of the air. So that's like a little bit of sci-fi there as well. Yeah, right. Which is great news. That's our new segment, good, good, bad, good.

Good, good, bad, good. Good, good, bad, good. Good, good, bad, good. That's good, good, and then some little bit of bad and finish it up with some good. Good, good. I think we can do it. You can sing that for the intro next time. Yeah, we'll do it.

Okay, great. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
