They'll go to a place They feel is out of the way And because I'm constantly Going out to well could do, because apparently they'll go to a place they feel is out of the way. And because I'm constantly going out to the shed, they might think it's a bit too much traffic. Yeah. So she could go into the middle of the paddock and have fun. Imagine if humans did that.

They're like, oh, I'm about to have a baby. I'm going to go to the middle of the country. Wander off. Yeah, into a paddock. They're just like, whoo! Just see a station wagon on the side of the desert road. You're like, that'll be just a woman having a baby. Yeah.

This is out of the way. I shouldn't wander into the Waiouru explosives testing station. What happens? Are you like drop and go when it happens? Or can you give it some time? Only if she's like struggling. And I think that's pretty obvious.

You've got to hook up the chimney. Tow it out. Tow it right out. I hope that doesn't happen. Because we've all penciled in a visit to the right. Okay. No, I mean, I hope that doesn't happen. Because we've all penciled in a visit to the farm letter. Yeah, well the cow giner is definitely, I know we talked about this earlier in the week,

the cow giner's a little puffier. Vaughan, send me a pic of the cow giner. Do you want to see a photo? It was unsolicited. I thought that you were banned as a sex pest from Meta for sending that. Yeah. There's definitely a bit of puff. I took a photo last night with a head torch on which definitely

was up the creep. Did it make it pop? Bit of a bit of bit? Did it make it pop? Did it? The light. Oh! Yeah, it really made it pop.

Really lit it up. Saw shadows in the air. Great, okay. This is too much information. Engorged. Thank you. Cow watch continues. Thank you, Sam.

Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Happy Friday morning. Two minutes past six. Morena. Yo. Just been talking about a show lunch we've got today.

Uh-huh. Borny drove me in. Asian fusion. Oh, so you're ready for a big day? Well, I do have to be home in the evening because the cats are going through trauma. Oh, why? They've removed the floor. And he's shocked.

He doesn't know what to do. But then there's still joists, right? Cats love a walk along a beam. I know. So this was like last night. Floor's gone, right? Yeah. Aaron was like, Raleigh.

Like, what are you going to do about Raleigh? And so he made this pathway for Rolly and then Rolly comes in, looks at it and just goes, Joyce, Joyce, Joyce, Joyce, Joyce and just jumps over. So the pathway was actually for me. So you're sleeping and how did you get to the toilet? Dangerously.

And I go to the bathroom at least three times a night. I've just always had. So what, did you have to have a torch and then go, dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk? Dunk, dunk, dunk. Yeah. Wow, that's some Indiana Jones kind of stuff there.

Apparently? Apparently. Yeah, apparently I've got a version. It's been written, but... What is it? Well, Vaughan, this didn't go well. Vaughan had a dream last night. Yeah, I had a premonition that halfway through,

Fletch stopped it and said, no, Hayley. Well, it might. I mean, how problematic have I written it? Oh, that's right. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I've got a version responding to the mandates being lifted. Oh, the traffic lights. Traffic lights and no masks.

No masks. Oh, right, okay. All right, well, Hayley's version this morning, just before 8 o'clock, your chance to win with 6.60, hide in 6.60 this morning. We'll give you a clue just after 7. You can track down a travelling 6.60 Castle Street, a double pass. Vaughan gave away our location yesterday.

So I will say if you are in the Capital City. No. No. Christchurch. If you're in the Garden City. I'm sorry, Capital City. If you're in the Garden City, there's some 660 tickets hiding somewhere for you to find after 7.30 this morning.

Indeed. Coming up on the show, special guests. Special. Very special indeed. A good friend of mine, Leon Wadham. He's in the Lord of the Rings, Rings of Power. Yeah. And he's going to chat to us about the show.

Has he been in the first couple? He's about to pop up, isn't he? He's about to pop up. He's about to pop up. He said it's been crazy because everyone's like, in overseas and stuff, like, can I get an autograph? And he's like, I haven't even been in the episodes yet. But why not?

Okay, and you went to drama school with him. I did. We have rolled around on each other for years. We've been pancakes stuck in an ocean for a long, long time together. So it was amazing to see him doing so well. All right. Well, he's going to come in. And I'm sure it's amazing for him to see me doing so well.

So because you're in Lord of the Rings as well. No, but I'm going to give him one hell of an interview. Yeah, great. She's bloody in the studio with a couple of hawks, though. I'm all right. You bloody ugly bastard. He's in just after 6.30. The top six is on the way.

Yeah. You may not know this, but the Queen passed away a week ago today. I am sorry if I'm just breaking this news to you. It's a week today. Yeah. Yeah. So a lot of things have been cancelled. Sort of like,

well, you know, to pay respects to the Queen, we won't be having the dot, dot, dot event this year. Yeah. Some of them,

mind-blowing. The top six things that have been cancelled due to, due to the Queen's passing. Alright, coming up in the top six. Next on the show though,

a billionaire has given away a company. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. in the top six. Next on the show though, a billionaire has given away a company. So you know the company Patagonia? I do. I've never owned Patagonia. No, I don't. We only had a couple

of Patagonias. You rock a t-shirt every now and then. Bit of a North Face vibe, eh? You better be able to climb. I can climb a mountain. I've climbed mountains.

Yeah, you go to the indoor climbing centre climbed mountains Yeah you go to the indoor climbing centre I don't go to the indoor climbing centre There's one of those out by On the way to our place Oh really My place and your place are in the same sort of area We don't live together But it's beside Mitre 10

And I want to try it But I also feel like A 40 year old man's got no business Starting rock climbing Do you know what I mean Yes It's too late. That's a terrible attitude.

That's a terrible attitude. Yeah, but you rock in at my age. People are like, oh, this guy's done it before. But I've never done a climbing wall. Yeah. I feel like you've got to have someone good on the end of your rope too as an anchor. Because they're actually doing the mahi. They're doing the hard stuff.

Like I don't think you could just take your wife because if you fall off, she'll just fall off. You've got to have someone capable of catching your weight. Right. Yeah. So I don't know if you knew this previously, but Patagonia the company actually were quite a good company. Like they

made a lot of their materials from recycled stuff. They tried to avoid fast fashion by making, like, you know, garments that last a long time. Avoiding fast fashion by being expensive. Well, yeah, by being expensive. But then things didn't last longer. And then if things broke, they had a repair and reuse program.

Nice. So they were all about the environment. And Patagonia's founder is a billionaire called, how do I say that name? It's on the top line. Steven. No, I think he's a French. It looks like Yvonne.

It looks like Yvonne. Yvonne. Like Yvonne Charnard? Yvonne. Yvonne Charnard or something? Right. Anyway, he's a billionaire because of this company that he started, Patagonia. But now the company has put out a statement saying that they are now not selling the company,

but donating it to a trust that will be all about the environment and saving the world. Cool, man. That's cool. That is so cool. So the earth just inherited a company. Yeah, so the earth, yeah, has a giant company.

I hope it doesn't put profits before itself, you know? So is this, so the company's obviously got its worth, but the guy, and we're going to call him Yvonne. Yvonne. I looked it up. There's a pronunciation thing on YouTube. Oh, I love that. This is a.

But he's. Yvonne Schooner. It is Yv that. Obviously, this is a... But he's... Yvon Chouinard. It is Yvon. Yvon. Yvon Chouinard. When I think of Yvon, I think of a very classy lady from the Carpety Coast. But so obviously the company has its value,

but Yvon would have his own value. Yeah, so he's got... So under the new structure, any profit not reinvested into running the business would go to fighting climate change. So they reckon that'll be about $100 billion a year. Oh. That's how much Patagonia, the clothing company, makes around the world. And you think that this alone, like I've never considered buying Patagonia, but now I might be like, it's kind of doing a good thing.

When I first heard about how good the company was and ethical, I was like, well, that kind of is a good company to support. Like, I don't mind buying a Patagonia T-shirt. I'm going shopping. You're going shopping, yeah. Patagonia, I'm hopping the website. But it also, like going rock climbing for the first time as a 40-year-old, there's a super...

So if you're wearing a Patagonia shirt or jacket, you better be ready to go bush for a couple of days. But then there's no difference wearing a Patagonia puffer than a Katmandu or a MacPak puffer. Oh, no, no, no. There certainly is. Katmandu puffer is I'm an Aucklander who's just moved to Dunedin to study medicine or law.

MacPak is I live in Wellington, and, I mean, you can't beat it on a good day, but those are few and far between. I rock a Huffa Puffa, it's all for the Instagram. Yeah you're a Huffapuffa I've moved to Auckland and I'm doing okay for myself Yeah I'm doing quite well

Puffers all say something without saying something but Patagonia Puffers say to me like this is nice and I drive a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle but I'm also not afraid to you know muck in. Well, now they should say you're saving the planet. Well, they will.

Yeah. Do you think he'll get the same nice, warm, fuzzy feeling that I get every time I wash my recycling? Because I tell you what, Yvonne, one hell of a feeling. Yeah, 100%. Rinsing out the sauce tin. Yeah. Yeah, mate. He's worth $1.2 billion, by the way.

Jesus. Yeah, and the company had estimated revenue last year, this is US amounts, $1.2 billion, by the way. Jesus. Yeah, and the company had estimated revenue last year, this is US amounts, $1.5 billion. But it's so awesome to go like, he's got his wealth, right? Yeah. Good for him. And so like recognising that he doesn't need to sell the company and profit from that as well.

Unlike Jeff Bezos who has so much money and doesn't, and all he does is build dick rockets. Yeah, dick rockets. Builds dick rockets. It's like, dude. Yeah. So, yeah, there you go. If you want a warm, fuzzy light washing out your recycling, buy Patagonia.

Like when you chuck the chicken tray in the recycling and you pull out that little chickeny sack. Yeah. The juice sack. Oh, yeah. I'm an eco-warrior. Yeah, you're doing your part. Me and Yvonne. You're really saving the world with that, aren't you?

I've been tasked with giving you some social media stats. I'm going to whip through them, and then we're going to talk about my social media that has taken an absolute transformation overnight. Right, you're a TikTok queen now, it turns out. TikTok queen, be real queen. I might even do a tweet today. I don't know.

I'm on fire. I literally even do a tweet today. Yeah. I don't know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm on fire. I literally just posted to Instagram now. Wow. It's a full-time job. Anyway, here's the stance. One in three young adults don't feel like they've had a real vacation unless they post it to social media. Now, when I was... Oh, here we go.

I was recently in Bali, Indonesia. What? You never told us. Why didn't you say something? Oh, I don't know. I just, I'm private. I'm a really private woman. Right.

I don't give much away. I like to be aloof about these things. But when I was in Bali, I didn't post at all. I was on a social media ban Enforced by friends and family Yeah Aaron Yeah Why didn't he want you to post?

He wanted you to just enjoy the holiday No more I mean I'm somewhat of a celeb And do you remember when Kim Kardashian posted that she was in Paris? Oh yeah He didn't want you to get robbed in your hotel Robbed in my hotel Yeah okay that makes sense

Of your former villa ring and such. Yeah. Right. Yeah, exactly. How much was that bracelet? This? Yeah. That was $120.

Okay, so that's a very fair call from Aaron. Yeah. Because in Bali... Combined. I'm wearing three of them combined. Okay, yeah, right. So you're wearing $300 worth of jewellery. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

So, yeah, it's sensible. Yeah, so I kept it pretty private. But boy, did I want to post about it. Every time I got a Yeah, so I kept it pretty private. But boy, did I want to post about it. Every time I got a great photo, I was like, oh. Also, though, one of the places we stayed in Bali when I was there recently had a view over the ocean and then down on the beach was one of those swings, you know, where like it looks out.

Oh, beautiful. There was one day where there was like a line that was kind of forming and all these poor boyfriends who were just like trying to catch some surf or something doing like full photo shoots. It was very entertaining to watch. But did you feel like you'd had a holiday and you hadn't been able to post about it?

Did you feel like it wasn't fulfilling? Yeah. I mean, I felt fulfilled but definitely, how many barley posts have I done? I did two

when I came home and honestly, I'm sitting on content. I'm sitting on it but it's been too long. Actually, now that we're talking about the radio,

I might post one today. I'll post a barley pic today. Well, you should have done it yesterday, Throwback Thursday. Is that still a thing? Flashback Friday. Flashback Friday.

Flashback. Wineback Wednesday. Yep. Chug it back Tuesday. Using Mondays. Yeah. Memory Mondays. Yep.

Flashback Friday. Some time ago Sunday. Some time ago Sunday, yeah. And sizzle real Saturday. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. So you can post a holiday pic anytime later. But I just posted one.

Social media queen, Karween. I need some input because I've actually this morning officially hired Karween as my own personal social media manager. Right. Does she agree to this? Did you agree to this? It wasn't really sort of, I didn't ask, I told. You know, we haven't talked numbers yet,

but I'm open to the idea. Hayley's talking about paying you in... A small commission. Like treats from the cafe over the road. Scones, I got you brioches. What do you want? Vegetarian? I got it.

Yeah, I do love a little scone, a little brioche. Okay. So I've just posted a photo of a Bake Off outfit. Is it too early now for me to post a barley? Yeah. Yeah. You need to give that first pic some breathing room. Three minutes?

Is that enough? No. No, not at all. Okay. This afternoon? Yeah, maybe this afternoon. It's quite early. People aren't awake just yet.

Yeah, I know. I just couldn't wait. I couldn't sit on this hot content. You're not going to get the likes. But you will because as people wake up, they'll see it. Great. Yeah. But you need to give some breathing room.

Start your day with a bit of sleep. I last posted three weeks ago. When should I post it? I think leave it a week more maybe. Yeah, leave the people. Who did I last post? Not me. Wanting.

Daddy, daddy, we're hungry. I last posted on the 5th of March. Should I post again anytime soon? I think you should. It'll go off. No, I reckon you should do an annual account. An annual? Oh, like Be Real.

5th of March every year. Yeah, Be Real, but it's once a year. Well, because I, yesterday, I was chatting about this. Yesterday I joined Be Real and TikTok. I made my first TikTok yesterday, like proper viral trend. And Carwine, how did she do? Some feedback. Could you give us a rating and some feedback?

Incredible. I'm going to give you a nine out of 10 though, just so that you have that ambition to keep going. To keep going. Yes. And then this morning I woke up and my Be Real was like, you're an hour, you know, you're late.

11 p.m. Yeah. They're not on my B-reel was like, you're an hour, you know, you're late, 11pm. They're not on my schedule. So I took one but I realised I was wearing a nightie, no bra and you can definitely tell. Well, that is just like, that was a real lungy laugh I just did there. Well, you can really tell Was that supposed to be like Because I was confused

At the tone of that Was that like You can really tell Like telling the boys To find you on B-Reel Oh yeah Rip those puppies up For the day

Alright gotcha Alright Well a great start A great start to TikTok Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley From the yummy ZM think tank

This Is the top six Oh hi there Hi ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley from the yummy ZM think tank. This is the top six. Oh, hi there. Hi. It's a week today since the Queen passed. It was just about now. Yeah. A week ago that we were kind of all getting the news. Britain enters a 10-day period of mourning.

What does that mean? Feels like shiver. You know when you like, you've got days and days of mourning. Yeah, apparently it's quite weird in London. It's quite quiet at the moment, but also very busy because it's obviously chock-a-block and people lining up for 30 hours. Yeah, to pay their respects to the Queen.

Well, things have been postponed or cancelled. Yeah. Some serious big events. And then things like this, the top six things that aren't happening in Britain for the next 10 days. Yeah. Because of the Queen's death. Number six, on the day of her actual funeral, don't even think about putting together some IKEA furniture. What?

IKEA will be paying respect. This is from the official IKEA Twitter account. Out of respect for Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and to allow our co-workers to pay their respects, all IKEA stores and business operations will be shut on Monday the 19th of September. Wow. So you won't be able to have an argument

with your partner about how they're not doing it right when you're putting together some IKEA furniture. Why don't you do it on your own then? Well, I would do it on my own, but it's just, it's not a strength thing, it's just an awkward size. Right, okay. Yeah, it's just that I need that end held up. And, I mean, that was all that you were tasked with, keeping it even.

But if you can't do that, that's fine. Well, you're the king of awkward size, so don't worry about it. Yes, whoa. I feel like this isn't even about I care anymore. What's an awkward size? Like it's too... Too big, too small, too thick. It's just in the middle and not doing anything?

Yeah, it's just awkward. Yeah, okay. It's a weird one. Number five on the list of the top six things not happening in the UK due to the Queen's passing. Loud beeps at the self-service machines at Morrison's supermarket. What? Morrison's have turned down the volume of checkout beeps

as a mark of respect to the Queen. I would be... Supermarket chain has honoured the late monarch. I would be all for supermarkets turning off those effing... Chatty Cathy's. The Chatty Cathy's. You can't turn them down. Some you can, but some they're just...

And some you can turn them up. Fun game on yours. At some stage, you might say, like, a hearing assistance thing. Press that up. The next person that's on that thing is going to be... up. Fun game on yours. At some stage, you might say like a hearing assistance thing. Press that up. The next person that's on that thing is going to be hearing it so loud. Wow, what a beautiful way to honor the Queen. Yeah, she hated beeps. She hated them, yeah.

She hated beeps so much. She would never have used a self-serve checkout. No, sir. Think about that. No, sir. She's missing out. It's fun. All right, number four on the list of the top six things you can't do in the UK

because of the Queen's passing. Forget about it if you're planning a little bit of a Macca's blowout on Monday. Every McDonald's restaurant in the UK will close on Monday until 5 p.m. to mark the Queen's funeral. Wow. Oh, that's nice. So you'll still be able to get dins. You can get dins.

Your nugs for dins. Which is probably exactly what you'll need at the end of that day. That's just the UK, by the way, not here in New Zealand. I think we're going to rock nuggies. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six things you can't do in the UK because the Queen's passed away. Well, if you were hoping to score some official Bowie on the blockchain sale,

this is David Bowie's official entrance into the blockchain universe. Out of respect for people of the UK and Queen Elizabeth II, we're postponing the Bowie on the blockchain sale. We'll update you all soon. Oh, wow, yeah. You guys were really looking forward to Bowie on the blockchain. Yeah, I've had a blimmin', you know, calendar alert set up for it. Yeah.

Well, the top six continues with the top six things you can't do in Britain because of the Queen passing. Number two, cycling. Cycling. Yep. British Cycling, the official at British Cycling have put out this note. British Cycling strongly recommends that anybody out riding their bike on the day of the state funeral does so outside of the timings of the funeral service and associated processions, which will be confirmed this week. Is it because it's too jolly?

Like biking's too jolly? I don't know. You just don't want a couple of lycra-clad cyclists coming into the procession. But clip-clopping. This is British cycling on a whole. Oh, they're saying everybody get off your bike. Not specifically in the area where the procession will be, which on the actual day I'd imagine will be quite small.

Everybody's going to be watching this on TV, right? This is going to be like the most watched TV thing ever. Yeah. Even people driving. And that's maybe why they're worried about the cyclists because people who are in the car will be watching their phones and cyclists will be knocked off their bikes. But also, speaking of cycling, in Norwich,

East Norwich Digital, advance warning, a royal period of mourning, this cycle rack will be closed from Friday the 9th of September until Wednesday

the 21st of September. If you leave your cycle here between these times, it will be removed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Why? A cycle,

they're shutting down a cycling rack. Where you can lock your bike. Okay, cool. Yeah. Okay. And number one on the list of the top six things that can't happen in the UK because of the Queen's passing are the funerals.

Really? Oh, my God. I never thought about that. Yeah. The National Association of Funeral Directors in the UK official Twitter account tweeted, we've been asked if any other funerals will be going ahead on Monday the 19th of September, although work is still going

and some funerals will go ahead in case of emergency. I'm guessing that's like if someone's been in the fridge a bit long or they're starting to turn. For religions, you've got to do them within 20, you know, you've got a time limit. Others will be moved to a different date, led by the wishes and needs of the bereaved family as evolved.

Most funeral services booked for the 19th of December will have been arranged weeks ahead. How do you arrange a funeral weeks ahead? Here, it's all like within a week. Weeks ahead. Weeks ahead. Chuck granny on ice for a couple more days. Yeah.

And so funeral directors and cemeteries, crematoria will be working with families to find times to rebook the will suit. Oh, wow. I should have nandized it. She's not allowed to get buried. She's not allowed to go because the Queen's bloody died. Yeah. Oh, she's all go over there.

It's absolute crazy times. That is today's top six. I got my head out this sunro times. That is today's top six. I'm excited. I'm excited. You guys are my friends, but I've got an old friend in the studio, Leon Wadham

from Lord of the Rings, Rings of Power. Big show. Yeah. Kia ora, Leon. Kia ora. How are you doing? I'm good.

How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm great. We're having such a nice time. I thought Hayley was going to say, how are you in Lord of the Rings? And I am here. On her radio. Can we have a backstory for those that don't know

how you two know each other and have for a long time? We went to drama school together. Yeah. We were in the same class at Toy Fakari. Did lots of rolling around on the floor. Did lots of making deep sounds, releasing breath up warm. Yeah, I feel like Leon and I have been

in each other. Also, that was the first time I've seen drama friends meet each other after a long time apart. Have you not seen this? Jesus. It's so nice. Mate, how are you? Good to see you. Darling, hold me darling, hold me, darling.

Hold me. Brace me. That was a long hug. That was a long hug. It was intertwined. We're physical people. I just said to Leon that you guys are not physical people and I'm physically deprived in this workplace.

I've made love and taken less time than you two took to hug, including foreplay. We take it seriously. We do take it seriously. It's how we connect. Now, I mean, obviously, I'm immensely proud of you for what is happening in your life right now. You're on the biggest show ever.

It's bananas. You have been over in London. You've been around the world. You've been going to Comic-Con. Yeah. How was that experience? Comic-Con was lovely. I was told I couldn't prepare for the sound of six and a half thousand people like in hall h or whatever yeah

and um it's not even the sound it's the feeling of it because they're so loud you can like feel the rumbles through the floor but everyone was so positive everyone was so excited about the show it was a really like a lovely way to start this um tour thing we just did. When did you guys start filming? When did it start filming? I think people first arrived late 2019. Yeah. And then what happened? I don't know.

Something slowed it down. I started in 2021. It took about half the shoot to build Numenor, which is where I spend all my time, which is on a back lot in Kumio. Yes. I ran past it. I watched them building it.

And it was great because I'd stop and I'd like walk up to the fence. It was convenient because I was out for a run. So I'd be like, no, I'm just running. I did a lot of the running. And slowly it got built. And then the shipping containers went up. And they built their walls of secrecy. Well, it's because pests like you keep hearing it.

You were literally walking past putting your iPhone up and trying to get photos and stuff. I almost put the drone up. I almost did my drone up. They were drones. That's why they put those huge shipping

container walls up. People got too curious. Yeah. It was wild though and then of course the minute there's something being hidden everybody wants to see it

twice as much. Yeah. So you shot through lockdown and then you moved, they moved production to London, didn't they? They're in the process of moving it now. I was just there briefly.

They're going out by Windsor, which I hear is quite far from everyone we know. Yeah. Great. Totally isolated. And you've filmed, what, one or two seasons? We've done the first season. First season. I think the second one starts shooting next month.

Wow. Wow. So your character, Kemin. Kemin. Kemin. He is... Is that. So your character, Kevin. Kevin. Kevin. He is... Is that like an oldie times Kevin? Kevin.

Yeah, an oldie worldie Kevin. But you've described, well, he's been described as the Donald Trump Jr. of Middle Earth. I don't think I said that. But yes, the comparison has been drawn. So you're the son of the big powerful guy. Wow. So you're the son of like the big powerful guy. Yeah. And you're a little bit spoiled. He's only known comfort.

He was born in a golden age. Things are going really well on the island. Whereas there are elves who have been struggling for centuries to put things right. And he's like, what's that about? He's just had a really nice time. His dad is the Chancellor of Númenor. He's incredibly privileged. He assumes just had a really nice time. His dad is the Chancellor of Numenor. He's incredibly privileged. He assumes he'll follow him into politics.

He doesn't necessarily know what that involves. Doesn't matter. Just seems good. Yeah. But things are about to change across Middle Earth and he's going to get a wake-up call. Speaking of things changing, okay. What?

You'll hear... Yeah, right. But they won't come up to you, whereas overseas people are a lot less bashful about that. Yeah, maybe.

Active wear certainly became more fashionable outside the gym. What do they call it? Athleisure. Yeah. It's a whole movement. You can wear athleisure seldom at the gym would you wear athleisure. Yeah. You can wear it more out in the streets and cool sweats.

Let's see what the people have said. Brooke says only if they are chic. Yeah. They've got to be chic. It's tray chic, babes. It's tray chic. They can't be and I hate to say it, but your $10 warehouse ones, which I love. We always rock a pair.

Yeah. But you're saying that those are for the house only. Their house only. But then what if you just need to nip to the supermarket? I'd absolutely nip. Yeah, right. I wouldn't spend a day out.

You wouldn't wear them to the pub. Especially not as a not if not men. A bit rude. You know what I mean? A trickster can be a bit rude on a fella.

That's all I'm saying. Paint you a picture. Erica says, totally depends on the condition of the sweatpants. Whether or not they are your muck around home pants you've had for five years that have faded or if they are your flash new Adidas ones that you want to show off.

The formals. The formals. Yeah, formal trackies. Justine said, never before but post-COVID anything goes. How long until it's not acceptable to wear home clothes to the outside world? Please discuss. I just, it would take another earth-moving event.

Yeah. You know, to make it no go anymore. Like once you've gone somewhere, why would we go back? Yeah, exactly. Why would we go back? Yeah, exactly. Why would we go back unless something changed? Like scientists came out and said,

sweatpants have cooties. And then... You're like, God, damn it. Damn it. Cooties at home, you know? Yeah. Gemmas is only

if they're a fancy brand. Again, your formal sweats. Yeah. Need going out trackies and stay at home ones. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Told only to the supermarket

on a Sunday to complete my shopping and feeling sorry for myself as I leave with my chicken and chips in a V. Oh, yum. Yes, yum. What a combo. Morgan says, I said yeah, but then I'm embarrassed if I see someone I know and I'm wearing them. I only wear them for going up to my local supermarket or so I'm pregnant and nothing fits.

Dude, Morgan, don't be embarrassed. Oh, yeah. If you're pregnant, it's track pants time, baby. fits. Dude, Morgan, don't be embarrassed. Oh yeah, if you're pregnant it's track pants time, baby. Adam's like, hard no, they look horrible even at the gym

or cricket. I'd rather wear shorts. Yeah, okay. And Lydia says, no, comma, no, no, full stop.

It's just a no, monkey eyes over the, hands over the eyes. So she's a big no. Do you reckon she's against it then? It sounds like, it certainly sounds like it.

Although 69% of people are saying absolutely. And those people are nice. Nice. Nice. Very nice. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Huge announcement.

This came from the official The Sims Twitter. At The Sims. Saying that next month, from next month, October. Can you explain to my mum what The Sims is? The Sims is an old... I don't want her left behind at this part of the conversation. The Sims, thank you, and I apologise. The Sims was like a PC game from way back in the day

where you, like, built these humans and then it was a simulated life. You wanted them to, well, the idea was you wanted them to live the happiest, wealthiest life you could possibly get. Happiest life. And you want them to like be smart, get a good job, have good relationships.

You could make them do anything you wanted. Anything you wanted. And how did you win? There was no winning. You didn't. There was no winning. It was just like a lie. It was like the...

They died. Sim City was the original Sim game. Yes. Where you had to build and maintain a city. Yeah. And then this took it down to a more personal level where you were literally playing a or a household worth of humans.

You're playing God. Effectively, yeah. Effectively, yeah. Effectively a God with a big influence. Yeah. So every, there was that and then there was that, and then there was the Sims, and then there was the Sims 2, the Sims 3, the Sims 4. And there's no Sims 5 yet. No. Sims 3.

Sims 3 was the one I got down on. The massive Sims. Yeah. And Sims 4 was pretty big as well. Yeah. I'm going to drop a bombshell here. And I know everybody was. This is from the kid who didn't play Duck, Duck, Goose.

There's no, I'm no longer surprised on what you were deprived of. I didn't know what Duck, Duck, Goose was. I had no idea until Vaughn told me. You pat a head and then someone's the goose and you run. Yeah, but I never knew that. I think we should play Duck. We've got the perfect table for it. A very round table. I have never ever played

Sims anything. Dude, you would absolutely fizz SimCity. Oh, and there's Sims you wouldn't get into, but I know how much you love city planning. Well, I did play Age of Empires. Oh, I loved Age of Empires. Yeah, Age of Empires ruled, but that was primarily for war. You wouldn't war with anybody apart from natural disasters.

My SimCity, God, I got hit by it more than its fair share of wildfires and tornadoes. Really? But, you know, maybe it prepared me more than its fair share of wildfires and tornadoes. Really? But you know, maybe it prepared me for the upcoming ecological disaster that we've made this planet. So vote me mayor this time around Auckland.

That's what I'm saying. No, apparently you can do it, so don't worry about it. It's late. I'm going to get in the game, but I want to be mayor now. So from, well, you need to dive in.

So from the start of October, The Sims 4 will be free to download. Do you need a PC? No, they do it for Mac now. It used to be PC only and if we had a Mac like we did growing up No, we had a PC and then we got a Mac. Oh, wow. When they used to call them Macintoshes. Macintosh.

With the big orange butt. Oh, you had the big orange butt? Yeah. That was late 90s Macintosh. And then, so it used to be PC only, but they can do it for Mac. And now they've got like a PlayStation version and all that. I was going to say, I'm pretty sure you can get it on console. The computer version is the OG. Yeah, because all the producers, everybody was just taking a trip down memory lane today.

Oh my God, I used to lose hours. How I did well at high school, no one knows. Because I just played Sims all the time. How I became such an accomplished woman. How I mastered the piano. How I nailed my career. I don't know. Maybe you got the skills off the Sims

because you could make them practice the piano, couldn't you, to get them better at piano? Instead of me actually doing my scales, I made my Sims do them. So now that the Sims is going to be free to anyone who wants to play, if you've already paid for Sims 4, they've got a little, like, a free upgrade, like the Desert Luxe kit. They'll give you all this cool stuff. Right.

We want to talk about the terrible things you did to your Sims. This was literally just a conversation we had before the show. Like, did you know The Sims is going to be free? And then Hayley said, what's the worst thing you did to your Sims? As, like, a passing. And everybody was like, well. And everybody, Carwin was like, I put mine in the pool

and then took the latter out of the pool. They couldn't get out of the pool. You drowned your Sims? You drowned your Sims? Maybe. Yeah, she did. You know, everyone goes on about shooting games and Grand Theft Auto.

This is worse. Well, this is personal psychotic behaviour. Yeah, but when they've like, you know, you wait and then the little Grim Reaper guy comes and then you get to like fight him to save their life. They leave a little headstone. Well, you should have left a ladder in and you wouldn't have to save their lives.

But it's kind of fun. Yeah. She's a psychopath. I used to start like 10 like took time, 10 romantic relationships and I'd get them to like live these multiple lives in different homes and stuff. They'd be having affairs and then

they were like constantly pregnant. It was a lot of fun and all my sims were bisexual. I always wanted to like, you know, I'd start with a heterosexual couple and then I'd just give her tons of girlfriends and he'd have a were bisexual. I always wanted to like, you know, I'd start with a heterosexual couple. Yeah. And then I'd just give her tons of girlfriends and he'd have a little boyfriend. I was like, oh, it's just, I just created a drama. So you were just doing polygamy, basically.

Jesus. What you had on your hands was an absolute monkey pop situation. It sounds like a cult. Yeah. It sounds like you were making a West Coast cult. But I want to, I love, I love to see them suffer. So that's what we want to know. What's the worst thing that you did to your Sims?

Yeah, this is wild. It's like when you used to build a little one by one thing, a one by one room, and you put a door on it and let them in. Edit, remove the door, and they're like, ahhh! Oh my god! And they pee themselves. Oh, so good.

The worst thing for us was accidental. We literally made the flat we were living in on Sims, built this house. It was exactly our flat, and everybody got to design their own characters, but we all committee agreed, like you couldn't make yourself super good looking if you weren't, et cetera.

And then we were like, go. And my flatmate, and still friend to this day, Callum Sim, went to the kitchen to cook himself something and immediately burnt down our house and killed us all. So we were like, let's just take this as a little Nostradamus prediction. You're no dongler allowed to cook. All right, well, I had 100 dials at him. We want to take some calls.

A trip down memory lane. You can text as well, 9696. Tell us the terrible things, the stupid things you did to your Sims. No judge here, but I may call you a psychopath. Psychopathics Anonymous. I think this is going to get pretty dark to be fair. We're talking about the terrible things you did to

your Sims when you were bloody hooked, when you were under its thumb. They've just announced Sims from the start of October will be free. Sims 4 is going to be free to download and honestly, that's me, man. That's me for the rest of the year be free. Sims 4 is going to be free to download. And honestly, that's me, man. That's me for the rest of the year.

There are some dark, dark people out there. I'm taking down all these numbers. I'm taking down all these numbers and I'm sending them to a lot of government authorities. And keeping them as far away from your children as possible. Have people ever been upset about this game like they do for shooty games? No, no, no. And violent video games? No, because violence isn't the intention. Which is for, like, shooty games? No, no, no. In violent video games?

No, you don't because violence isn't the intention, which is weird because in a shooty game, even if you're the most peaceful person, the intention of the game is to shoot the bad guys. Yeah. But this is absolutely, like, up to you, and I think this is where we really see the psychopaths. That's great.

Cameron, what did you do to your Sims? So, long story short, I built a room with carpets and rugs and couches and pitches and everything flammable you can think of I took two people in there and I locked the door and took away the door

got them, set the mood, started the fire they got into bed, so on and so forth and then I let the fire, they got into bed, so on and so forth. And then I let the fire get out of hand and yeah, fought everybody off there, tried to put it out. So they were suffering.

Cameron, that is so... What's wrong, buddy? What's wrong? You know, Cameron, you have the tone of someone making a confession. I reckon Cameron's mum cheated on his dad with a firefighter. Yeah. Are you an arsonist now, Cameron? You're a volunteer firefighter who lights his

fires. You know those ones? There's a spate of those. Cameron, thank you for sharing. I love Cameron's tone. Okay, here's what I did. We've all made mistakes. Ava, what did you do to your sims? Well, when I was, I think about 12 years old,

I used to make all these, like, big families, big happy families, and then what I'd do is I would just make a lot of, you know, they'd all cheat on each other and they'd have big adult fun times, you know, big groups of fun, if you get where I'm going with this. You were 12! You were 12, my dude! Are you talking about a woo-hoo session but with lots of people? Yeah.

At 12? I'm not saying it's okay. Would you rather your 12-year-old be setting them on fire in a locked room or your Sims were having a group cuddle? Woohoo. A woohoo. I'm not sure I want to answer that one. Ava, thank you so much.

Sicko. Jamie, what did you do to your Sims? I did a couple of things. One would be I'd make them fall in love with each other and then basically to the point of soulmates and then get one of them to randomly go and kiss someone else right in front of them. Yeah, I love doing that.

I love doing that. Because that's a big meltdown right in front of them and it takes days to get over the them. Yeah, I love that. Oh, my dude. I love doing that. Because that's a big meltdown right in front of them and it takes days to get over the anger. Oh, I love it. I love it. Yeah. I'd also get the, you know, in the modern versions, you can get the Grim Reaper to, like, you can interact with him.

Yes. So I would kill a sim on purpose to then get the Grim Reaper to fall in love with you. Oh, my God. I never tried that. Wild. I love this. Jamie, thank you. Our message is in.

So many, I'm going to say psychopaths. This is what somebody said. Looking back on it, it was normal at the time, but now I can see it was maybe a problem. I used to drag all of their well-being levels down. There was a cheat and you could control their well-being levels. But it was generally, I think the cheat was so you could make them happy regardless of if you were, you know.

Tired or whatever. Tired or whatever. But I would drag them all down and they'd simultaneously cry, wee, wave dramatically and then die. It all felt very normal at the time. You don't want to go. Dead. Dead.

So fun. They'd wave at you like, hello. My brother and I used to play Sims. We started in Sims 1, and I remember one of the Sims, the first time you were able to fully interact with another player, like their player could come over to your house, et cetera, et cetera, you could move into the same neighborhood. We'd spend all this time making perfect houses.

And then when it was my turn, I used to invite his character over to my house, kill him and bury him in the backyard. And then when he'd log on to play again, his house was up for sale because the person in his house was dead. And I never told him, but I was burying him into my back garden multiple times. What is wrong with you?

That is terrible. That's wild. Somebody else said my Sim was a guy and he had 28 kids to 10 different women and was running multiple homosexual relationships as well. Did someone say somebody on TikTok is trying to get 100 babies? Yes. Is that not possible? Is that not possible? You can't just build a bigger house, put more cots in. And you can have 100 babies? Yes. Is that not possible? Is that not possible?

No, you can't. You should build a bigger house, put more cots in. And you can have 100 babies. I don't know if SIFS comes around at some point and just goes, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah, yeah.

Have you heard of the oral contraceptive pill? Apparently social, I don't remember social services being in the game, but yeah, if you were too naughty, social services would come and try to sort you out. And take your kids, yeah.

Yeah, but you could put in that cheat where you could have endless amounts of money and you could keep them out of your house probably. You just pay them off. We just had a message through from producer Anna asking me for more Sims impersonations. Do you know what's funny? It's dangerous though because very quickly it turns into a language you recognise and you're like, oh.

But, you know, Kimbra, New Zealand artist Kimbra, she recorded a song in a Sim. It was Kimbra that did it. I remember I was trying to think who did it. A few artists did it, but yeah. So when you turn on the radio, remember you used to be able to go like, I want to listen to jazz or salsa, and she recorded one, and it was like, and it was just her

singing in Sim. In Simlish. It's always their tone was so pleading. Wow. This is a real warning For anybody out there Yeah Reflect upon your time As the Sims God

And Yeah And Please identify You're a better person now And if you have children Playing it Just maybe every now and then

Pop in and see What's going on Because they could be Like forcing people To break up their families They have orgies That's all I'm saying Do a loop

I'm saying. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. It's the final rankings. All right. Today, we do this every Friday, final rankings, and we debate and argue over a topic, an item or a set of things. We did postpone this from last week. Yeah, we thought in light of Queen Elizabeth II's death, we would postpone until this week our rankings of gravy.

Although I'm sure the Queen would have loved a Yorkshire pud and some gravy. Oh, yeah, who doesn't? She would have loved the gravy. She would have gone like a medium brown, like a classic. Yeah, classic middle of the road, unoffensive gravy. Yeah. So we're not doing super fancy, you know, because I do like a sort of a Greek chicken. A what?

A Greek lemon chicken, roast lemon chicken. And then I use that and I make a chicken, but it's very lemony gravy. I don't think we're doing fancy. I would think that was more of a jus than a gravy. No, but I put flour in and I thicken it up and stuff. But it's got a tan. A gravy with lemon. Dude, dude, dude.

Interesting. One day I shall cook you my roast chicken. I'm saying it's interesting. We were a big gravy family growing up. Gravy with everything. I mean, when it's made with the fat of a roast, I mean, there's nothing better. But obviously we will be accepting packet because packet's so easy to do. Dude, packet's delicious.

What about the, just for your consideration, have you ever had the, ooh, Bisto gravy? It comes in a sachet and you just cut the corner off and give it a minute in the old microwave. Yeah, I have. Pretty bloody good. Pretty bloody good gravy. See, I'm a Maggi sachet. I've done both

and they're both delicious. See, a Maggi sachet is top notch for putting in the... I add that to the jus. To the jus. To the jus that's come out of the meat

and I tell you what, that's kind of beaten. Can I just... I'll just pop something over here before we rank everything. Recently, I had poutine and you know,

poutine for those that don't know is the Canadian delicacy of fries. And then you put curd or cheese. You can put mozzarella on it. And then smush it with gravy. And then just cover it with gravy. Recently had some, and it was like a lightish gravy,

but it tasted like they put like a brown sugar in there, so like caramelised it. So it was just a slight sweet tang, and I was like, that's nice. Well, I would like to say to you, I've just been Googling types of gravy. Yep. Appalachian chocolate gravy. What?

The Appalachians, Tennessee, so Dolly Parton's probably your most famous Appalachian. Oh, yep. They have a traditional Sunday morning gravy, a morning and an a.m. gravy. It's a chocolate gravy, and they have it with leftover biscuits

from the night before. Is it like a mole? Like a Mexican mole? It's got a mole vibe to it, right? But it also has meat juice in it. Yum. Okay. I would eat.

Okay, I'm going to go like your roast chicken sachet. Herbed? Your roast chicken Maggi sachet. Yeah. Good gravy.

That's my go-to. That's a good one. That's my number one. Heavily herbed. Heavily herbed. Heavily herbed. Yeah, heavily herbed. It's a light, it's sort of a light brown gravy. See, whereas I would go, if I'm hitting a magic,

in my top three is definitely a rich brown, rich brown gravy. Yeah. Who knows what's in it? Who cares? It's rich and it's brown. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rich brown gravy. I also love an onion.

They do an onion gravy. I don't know if it's got meat in it. It's just called onion gravy. I don't know if I've had an onion gravy. Brown onion gravy. I like a standard roast meat gravy, sort of like a brown gravy, but not a rich brown gravy, just a brown gravy. But then that's mixed in with the meat juice.

It kind of becomes a rich brown gravy. Yeah. With the chunks of the meat juice. No matter what gravy you love, you've always got to get the gravy jug first at the table. Oh, yeah. Because you don't want to be missed out. There's never enough gravy.

Yeah. There's never enough. I remember one Christmas at Nan's, we ran out of gravy. God, it was like... Debacle. Christmas was over. Yeah. It was done.

What about a lamb and rosemary gravy? Oh, yeah. Yeah, like a lamb gravy or a lamb and mint sauce. Yeah, lamb and mint. Lamb and mint sauce gravy. But I thought you just said it yourself, sauce. Oh, yeah, that sounds a bit sad. But it's been added to the gravy, isn't it?

So do we have a number one? Just like beef brown gravy. Brown gravy. I think we're going brown gravy. Then we're going chicken gravy. Yeah. And then we're going... I'm just happy to be talking about gravy with two of my best friends.

Yeah, man. It's been a long time since I've just sat down around a table and had some hearty conversation. I reckon we just go top two. Brown gravy, chicken gravy. Chicken gravy. Yeah. And maybe we need some breakfast poutine.

Now, I was literally just thinking, how do we get gravy right now? How do we get gravy? Nick, good morning, Nick. Nick, you come to the party with some gravy, are you, mate? Good morning, mate. What do we get gravy? Nick, good morning Nick. Nick, you come to the party with some gravy, are you mate? Good morning mate, how's it going? What's your favourite gravy? Hello? Nick, your phone's terrible. He's found Castle

Street. He's found our travelling... I thought you were coming in to chime in on the gravy. I couldn't care less about that at the moment actually. I'm talking about gravy with my friends. We're deep in the gravy chat Nick. Congratulations, we've got a double pass for you to 660 Saturdays in Christchurch, Orange Theory Stadium, the 10th of December. Was that hard to find in Hagley Park?

No, it wasn't that hard to find over here. It was pretty easy in Christchurch. It was pretty easy to find. Yeah, well, we've got to make it easy for you, Nick. We've got to make it easy for you. It's a Friday. Congratulations off to 660. Congratulations to Nick and congratulations to Beef Gravy.

Back to gravy. Just for a moment, we've had some messages in. Someone said, next time you're making gravy, little teaspoon of Vegemite into the mix. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Secret ingredient. No regrets. No regrets.

Umami. That's what umami is. It's salty, savoury. A yeasty salt, right. Fermented, yeah. Fermented salt, yes. What about half a teaspoon of Nutella? No, no, no.

I'm just thinking of other things next to the Vegemite. What about an Oxo Cube? Nah. Too much. Nah, it's not in the 1940s. Okay. We're better than that. We're not having Oxo Crate.

What? Do you know what you're doing? Yep. We're not having Oxo Grape. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. What? Do you know what you're doing? Yep. Do you want to give us a little note? Okay. Okay, if you want. Just like a little tease.

The year was 1987. Oh, wow. Good year. Okay. Yep. Young Vaughan Smith just started at school. Yep. Had the world at his feet Little did he know Little did he know

This song New Zealand Born Bit of an old Te Oro classic 87 It's coming up after the news Hayley's version I'd love love you did. Song sung with

different lines. I'm sorry, interrupted my own bloody jingle, didn't I? I just thought it'd be great to do like Dame Kiritekanawa.

That's who it is, yes. Or Karikariana. Yeah. Absolutely right. 87. People jam it. 87 release.

Nice. She got invited to the Queen's funeral. She did, yes she did. Bit of Dame Kitty. Right, Hayley's version.

Speaking of incredible singers. Bit of Dame Kitty. Right, Hayley's version. Speaking of incredible singers. Yeah. Dame Kitty was my own private vocal coach. Is this the first song I've sung since COVID? It is, yes. It's the first Hayley's version since she was struck down with the illness. I was struck. The virus.

Speaking of COVID, though, the mandates, they are gone. Yeah, big news this week, wasn't it? Yeah. So she announced it, was it Monday? And then mandates, they are gone. Yeah, big news this week, wasn't it? Yeah. So she announced it, was it Monday? And then Tuesday, they were gone. No more masks, except in a workplace that they can individually require you wear them or ask that you wear them. Healthcare settings, places with vulnerable people, like rest homes.

Yeah, you've got to wear them there. I'm still seeing a lot of bus drivers wearing them. I'm still seeing the odd person in the supermarket. There's people wearing them all the time. I think they're normal now. Yeah. Oh, totally. Just that the odd, like, random people will wear them.

I think I'll wear them on the planes and stuff still for a while, a few more years. But no more vaccines. Yeah. I mean, sorry, no, there's vaccines. Please, there's vaccines. They're not mandated. They're not mandated? Yeah. I mean, sorry, no, there's vaccines. Please, there's vaccines. They're not mandated. They're not mandated.

Yeah. So in order to say goodbye to the traffic lights, I am covering blinding lights. Blinding lights by lights. Hayley's version is by to the lights. By to the lights. I think it's a seamless title. Yeah.

A song that's too high again. Again. house. Almost like it's 2019. Almost like this was just all maybe a dream. Free to leave the house. Free to spit on everyone you know. No more coughing into your elbow. Just let it sneeze. Traffic light system has seen its last day I didn't really get it anyway At least it made more sense than level 2.5 And I said, ooh, goodbye to traffic lights Now I can sleep with anyone I want I said, ooh, maybe someone different on every night.

Now that the risk of spreading COVID's gone. Jokes, guys. I'm engaged. I'm not going to go out just shagging random people. This seems less about traffic lights and more about, I don't know, you trying to break up with your fiancé live on the radio? If I wanted to. The mandates are all gone.

No more need for protesting in peace because maybe throwing bricks at the police actually worked. They got what they wanted. No more daily updates. No more need to vaccinate. No more wearing a single use mask for far too long. I say ooh

goodbye to traffic lights. But please feel free to still get your booster shot. Please do. I say ooh yes I know you've got your rights.

But I still judge you if you choose to not. That's my ride. Now we can all visit, pack and save. Breathe our particles over the grapes. Pick my nose and spear it on the cakes. The cakes. I say, ooh, goodbye to traffic lights. Please grab yourself

a slice of bogey cake. That's Hayley's version. With honesty, my most perfect lyrics have been very clear. Do not smear your bogeys on the pack and save cakes. I don't want to smear it on my own shirt?

Be cool, be cool. Fantastic. Mandates are gone. Get boosted. Vaughn, it's your pick this week. I said 1987 before, like a damn fool. It was written in front of me. It said 87. And as I said it, I'm like, no, it's your pick this week. I said 1987 before, like a damn fool. It was written in front of me. It said 87.

And as I said it, I'm like, no, it was 84. It was 1984 the song was from. I mean, that should definitely tell you immediately it's a homegrown classic from 1984. Name another New Zealand song that got to number one in the charts in 1984. And re-entered the charts in 2010 and got to number three. Huh.

Because of a certain film. No, the film came out in 2016. Oh, what happened in 2010? Well, if we're talking about the same film, there was a documentary called, title of song, The Story of Our Song at the New Zealand International Film Festival. And I remember at that time, the lovely Partia Maldi Club came into our building

and performed this song. And it was one thing to hear it and grow up with it and chuck it on at a party or listen to it when you're overseas with a bunch of other Kiwis. But to see it performed by the original lineup in person was, I'll say it, goosebump-inducing. It was, yeah. It has been

Maldi Language Week this week. Make it a month next year. I actually talked to Dan Corbett in the toilets at TVNZ last night. We were both doing wheeze. We were both doing wheeze. This is Dan the weatherman and I said, Dan, you know what? I tip off my bloody hat to you because every Mouldy Language Week,

you give it a good, solid, bloody go. He's good, eh? He really puts his heart and soul into it. And then he told me a long story that I need to get back to the studio for Have You Been Paying Attention? So I had to dip out of the long story. Oh, that's so rude, Dan the Weatherman. I know, I felt terrible.

But he just needed to quickly tell me the weather for the next week and then I'd be out of there. But it is Mouldy Language Week, so I thought from 1984, I mean, come on. Yes! Get it going. Poie from the Pātea Māori Club. It's your Friday flashback.

Zidane.お疲れ様でした Thank you. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's your Friday flashback on ZM, Patea Maori Club from the mighty Taranaki. The original Naki Hardcore. The original Naki Hardcore. God.

Feedback. I literally, just in that last little bit, little shiver. I love that song so much. That's the song that said chills, literal chills.

It's so good. Yeah, the boys in the workshop, I don't know what workshop they're in, but the boys in the workshop had that one absolutely cranked according to a text.

Put the tools down for three minutes and a half. Well, I hope they put the tools down. Otherwise, you might have a drill on a cord and get a little bit,

you do a poi with it and then you've got a bloody black and decker, don't you? With your tools. Banger. Keka te reo Maori. Someone said cheers for that. Bloody Ripper.

Excellent. What a jam. Love the flashback. This was a marching display music back in the 80s. Hardcore. Like people would use this all the time. It's got, excellent. What a jam. Love the flashback. This was a marching display music back in the 80s. Hardcore, like people would use this all the time.

It's got a good beat too. Yeah. Yeah. For marching. So with display, there's like two elements. Let's talk about marching. There's two elements

of marching. There's the technical where you march your classic marching tunes and then there's display where you choose your own music. Some people go

like traditional music, some people go fun music. And Poirier, especially in the 90s, so many people had Poirier in their displays. It was awesome. Okay, well, banger.

Banger. Certified banger. Good stuff. Just want to make you get the blimmin', unstuff a stuffed toy and get a plastic bag and make a poi. Do you remember doing that? Did you use stuffing?

You'd sacrifice a cookie. Or making the paper sticks. Or racco. Yeah. Yeah. And then you go across. Yeah. You've got to throw. Someone then you go across. Yeah.

You've got to trip. Someone had to go high, someone had to go low, didn't they? Yes, yeah, yeah. I remember making a great poi out of a Mollenberg bag. A Mollenberg bag. Oh, shame. What did you stuff it with? Why did you buy a plastic bag?

I think we did layers. What did you stuff it with? Because when she said pull-de-park a teddy, we never pulled apart a teddy. We did. We just stuffed it. To stuff our toy. Oh, no. What did you stuff it with? Paper. she said pull apart a teddy, we never pulled apart a teddy. We did. Just stuff our toy. Oh, no. What did you stuff it with? Paper?

Or something. I can't remember. A tennis ball? What were traditional poi stuffed with? Oh, no, no. It would have been like feathers, I guess. Yeah. Feathers and...

Or like a nice duck down or something. Or a goose down. I'll tell you what made it bloody good. I made a bird. Tell you what made it bloody good. Poi stuffed with the old mile feather made it pretty good. Bloody boys, I won't do that much. Yeah, I don't actually. Boy, stuff with the old moth feather made a pretty good bloody boy.

I don't want to do that much. I don't actually know. Great stuff. All right. Rako was when you get magazines. Yes. Line them up. What's the tape?

Masking tape them up. Yeah. My dad used to do that with a herald on Sunday and beat our arse with it. Yeah. Either play a little Rako or get a little bass. He'd play a little Rako, if you know what I mean. I will say, more bangers coming up after nine. Friday Jams returning.

Don't forget Friday Jams Live. Tickets are on sale now for Friday Jams Live. Coming up on the 13th of November, Western Springs Stadium. Not counting down the days. Woohoo! I'll sing it loud in case you don't already know. Pack up your... and go.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Get it on in case you don't already know. Pack up your shit and go. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Eight years ago. Eight years ago since the world's most famous conscious uncoupling happened. The one, the only one since? I can't wait to consciously uncouple and make that announcement. I want to live with him the rest of my life.

I can't believe that's been eight years. Eight years. So 2014, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cold Place Chris Martin. Chris Martin. They split. Well, they're consciously uncoupled. Yeah, they didn't say they didn't come out and say we're divorcing and everyone in the world was like, you're what? But you are getting divorced. Yes.

But I think the difference that they wanted to mark by not saying we've broken up was that they loved each other. They respected each other. They had kids. They were a family. And so a split didn't feel right because they were never breaking apart. Because it was a very amicable breakup from all accounts. Like, what's the word?

Exemplary. Yeah. In terms of like people splitting when they've got kids. And they've just, Gwyneth Paltrow was interviewed recently and she was sharing, because people are so curious about it, like how are you such good friends? They spend Christmas together. They're always together, Chris and Gwyneth. They're great mates. Even though they've both got

She patches up his jacket. She's constantly on the machine. She's constantly on the machine patching up his jacket. Because they both have different partners now, right? Because who's she with now? I think she's with a candle? I think she's with someone. I think she's with a candle and a couple of vibrating yoni eggs. She sells those on her website.

But also partnered with them. Yeah. She said he's family. He's my family. I love him. He's like a brother to me. That's weird. What? Yeah, it's weird.

She wasn't like a brother when she was married to him in that sense. But isn't that the exact relationship you would want with your ex? Yeah, it's weird that she wasn't like a brother when she was married to him in that sense. But isn't that the exact relationship you would want with your ex? If you had kids? Hell yeah. To be like siblings? You can squabble, but at the end of the day, you put it behind you and most of the time you get on. Yeah, but you haven't been.

Yeah, I know, but that's what I'm saying. You haven't been. No, no, no. That's it. Yeah. But people find it strange. People look at it and they just go, I don't understand.

I hate my ex. You know? Yeah, yeah. Or the co-parenting is so difficult and they make it look like a piece of cake. But we want to talk about your relationship with your ex. And is there something about your relationship with your ex that people find strange?

That they're going, that's weird. Well, especially new partners would find it strange if you're still really good friends with an ex. Because they'd initially, or they'd just jumped to the whole, oh, they've still got feelings. Yeah, I have friends. But you don't. I have a friend who still lives with her ex.

They've got kids. How long have they been apart? Coming up two years, maybe. And they still don't, they're not intimate at all. Not intimate at all. They've got separate rooms. They are split.

But they're there for the kids. And they're like. It's admirable. It's a tough time at the moment. Like, it's not just move out and get your own rooms. They are split. But they're there for the kids. It's admirable. It's a tough time at the moment. It's not just move out and get your own place. It's hard to do that. So they're like, well, it's affordable. It's working.

Yeah. It's working for the kids. If you met someone, that would be hard for someone to fathom. When she told me, I was like, oh, no, you've got to go. And she was like, it works. I was like, who am I to say? That's what we want to know from you this morning. 0800 DALS. That Emma's number. You can text

as well. 9696. What do you and your ex do that other people find a bit weird? Give us a call. We want to know what you and your ex do that people find a bit odd. We've been talking about Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. I was about to call her Gwyneth-er.

Gwyneth Paltrow. They're still such an amazing couple, even though they're not together. Well, she, and she's come out and said she sees him like a brother. Yeah. Yuck.

A brother who I've... Yeah, had intimate... I would have said something like, he's like my best friend still. Yeah, my best friend. But as then as that... Oh, she chose the word brother. She chose the word brother.

Gwyneth Paltrow is now with Brad Falchuk, who is one of the co-writer, director slash Glee. Oh, I don't know those guys. Oh, because she's a singer and she's done lots of Glee. Yeah, American Horror Story, that kind of, he's part of that. And Chris Martin has been dating Dakota Johnson. That's who it is. Since 2017.

From Fifty Shades. Yes. And other things. But I guess it would be weird if you started seeing someone I'm not a Dakota Johnson fan, that's all I'm saying. But I support other women in the arts. But you're just not her. She's a bit dreary for me.

But it would be weird if you start dating someone and they're still really good friends with their ex. Yeah, I guess so. Some people couldn't get over that. We were just saying off air, like, I don't have any

hard feelings with any of my exes. I don't have a lot of exes to be fair. But, um... I left a bloody... You left a trail. A trail made of broken hearts,

you know. The sky was out there just... Weren't you the one broken hearted like Christmas Day? Nah, nah, nah. He was, he was. Nah, you've heard

the wrong end of that tale. Were you crying on Christmas? Nah, nah, nah. He was, he was. Nah, you've heard the wrong end of that tale. Were you crying on Christmas? Nah, nah, it wasn't me crying on Christmas. It was. Nah, nah, nah. Anonymous joins us this morning. Are you laughing? What are you laughing at?

What are you bloody laughing at? Did he go broken up on Christmas? Oh, nah, we got the wrong end of the stick on that one. It was me. I was the bloody heartbreaker out there. Oh, long line of crying ladies there, Anonymous. Hey was me. I was the bloody heartbreaker out there. Oh, a long line of crying ladies there, Anonymous.

Hey, no. I bet. Now, Anonymous, you, I bet. You sound like my mum

when she's ready for me to wrap it up. I bet. I bet. I bet. Now, Anonymous, what can't people believe

about you and your ex? He lives with me. Oh, wow. Okay, so like your friend, Hayley. Yeah.

So were you married? We are still married. We haven't officially got divorced, but we've both had partners in between. We've got two children together. So he disappeared for a bit from the kids' life, but he came back and he had nowhere to go. And I had a room, so he has his own room in our house, does his own thing. There's nothing there

between us at all. But it's good for the kids. Exactly. That's what I see it as. And also, I can go out now. You can babysit a baby? Oh my God, live and babysitter. Yeah, but I had lost a partner previously over

it that couldn't deal with it. Oh, okay. Yeah, but because he was two doors down the hallway. He is, literally. But there's no banging on the doors at all. No, no. I've got him with a new partner now and I've been with him for

four or five months and he finds it a little difficult, but he knows that there's nothing there, and hopefully he'll stick around. That's so cool. I find it so modern and cool. Yeah. Well, we get on way better now. I bet. And co-parenting is so much easier. Yeah, and then good for the kids as well.

I love that. Amazing. Anonymous, thank you so much for sharing. Di, you and your ex are still friends. Yes, yes, we are, which I think he's lost a few partners over the time too for that same reason. They were suspicious that we could actually get on.

Complimentary. That was in a Di. Di obviously says he's a bit of a hottie, bit of a hot three. Yeah, hot three. He wasn't bad, actually. He wasn't. We've got gorgeous kids because of it.

But I went to his wedding, full credit to his new wife. And also, too, when we split up, we communicated through diaries initially because it's always a bit tricky, isn't it? But we always made a pact that we would get on for the kids. And so I created the Great Kiwi Christmas Breakfast because you know how Christmas is tricky trying to get to both sides of the family? So we did that and then he started coming along and then even when the kids left,

he still came along. Oh, that's nice. I love it. It's so grown up and mature, isn't it? How mature. Absolutely. It is. And it came from my dad.

Him and my mum split up. Both couples came to stay. My dad got up and cooked her husband breakfast. You know, it's just like how it should be got up and cooked her husband breakfast. You know, it's just like how it should be, right? My family. Totally.

Yeah. Di, amazing. Thank you for sharing some messages in. We holiday with our exes because we have kids to previous marriages. Their new partner's come too.

We have Christmas together. This is bloody huge. You must have to hire a marquee. A massive You'd have to get a pig on the spit, wouldn't you?

To feed a family. Any excuse. I'm a family of four. I'd happily have a pig on the spit, wouldn't you? To feed a family that size. Any excuse. I'm a family of four. I'd happily have a pig on the spit. It's yum, yum, yum. That is just literally me drooling over food. There's no second meaning there. Somebody else said, I live with my ex-husband and have for two years.

We're six years officially divorced, but financially and for the kids, it made sense and it works. Well, especially if you have, like, kids aside, if you have a mortgage, like, you've got to sell the house and then, like, you've got to get another house each. Yeah, and then find a place that can also house kids. So what does it make sense to wait until the kids leave home and then split that?

As if you're in the, you know, situation where you can get along. Yeah, totally. My ex-wife and I are on great terms. I have a new wife And our daughter Has sleepover At my ex-wife's house And we get invited To family events Love that

Yeah, my ex and I Are really close To his new wife My ex and I Are really close And his new wife And I are really close We work at the same place

We even share a truck They bloody share a truck They share a truck How big is the truck? Those trucks are expensive Makes sense You wouldn't want to Leave any bloody crumbs

In the truck No Who left the crumbs In the truck? Yeah, there'd be A crumb-based argument is the truck? The truck's expensive. It makes sense. You wouldn't want to leave any bloody crumbs in the truck. No. Who left the crumbs in the truck? Yeah, there'd be a crumb-based argument over the truck. We got divorced after 13 years of marriage. We would have been married 20 years this year and up until our 18th wedding anniversary. My ex-husband would either text or visit,

and even though we were both married to other people... Well, you still celebrated your anniversary. Yeah, needless to say, my new husband and his new wife are less than impressed. But, you know, I love that they do that. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day

Hey, you know what? My memory's not what it used to be Okay Here it starts Oh, you're worried that you've done this fact of the day before The more I read about it, the more I'm like We've definitely talked about olfactory being olfactory One word, olfactory being olfactory. One word,

olfactory. Olfactory? Olfactory. It's a term linked to your ability to smell. Okay. Like odours and scents and such. Right. But this is about olfactory fatigue. And it basically, what happens every time you go

to a roturua, you go in and you're like, pooh! Eggs! Who farted? Basically, what happens every time you go to Arotorua? You go in and you're like, Ah! Oh! Poo! Eggs! Who farted? Who farted?

It's a classic. But then if you're there for the weekend. It disappears about five minutes later. Yeah, and then that's just what you smell. You don't know any different. That, ladies and gentlemen, is olfactory fatigue. And it's why when you put on perfume, you can't smell your perfume. And then people are like, oh my God, what are you wearing?

And you're like, I can't even smell it anymore. That's me. That's me. Someone said to me yesterday, are you wearing Santal 33? It's the perfume I use. And I was like, yeah, but like, no, I am, I just go on.

I'll be at the gym. It's because your brain effectively says, ah, yeah, we know that's there. You can stop smelling it now. Do you reckon that's why some people can't smell themselves? Can't smell that they're smelly of... Exactly the same situation. Or that they put on too much

perfume and they can't smell. Because they put it on, I put it on but by the time I get to work, it's gone. It was like an ooh-la-la event yesterday. You know, like dining, sitting down, event in the thing. And I walked in and I was like, oh my god, the women's perfume. Less is more, ladies.

Yeah, no, no, no. Maybe there was a sample and they all went ham on it. And then they couldn't smell anymore, so they kept sampling themselves up. But basically, it's an example of neural adaptation. It's the same as seeing things. Like your eyes get used to the dark. It adapts. Your brain's kind of like, actually we don't need to worry about that anymore

because we've identified it not to be a threat. Okay. And they're saying if your body didn't do this and every time you smelled a smell, it was like the first time you smelled it, your brain would overload. It would cause sensory overload. And there are some examples of people on the spectrum

that don't have that ability to shut it off. And you know how sometimes people with autism get overwhelmed? Audio overwhelming. And it's handy to have the blockers because they can't pick or choose what to hear. It all just floods in. It's the same with scent. Wow.

But it's overwhelming in the front. You can smell everything. The body's amazing, isn't it? Isn't it amazing? It's a real situation. And you might think, well, what's a way to freshen the, you know, when you're trying on perfumes and they're like, and have a little hoon of these coffee beans.

Coffee beans. It's coffee beans. Or placebo. Is that? Coffee bean works no better than lemon slices or plain air. So they could literally have a bowl of jelly meat and it wouldn't make a difference. Well, no, jelly meat's got its own very pungent aroma.

You just said it doesn't matter. No, I said it makes no difference between coffee beans, lemon slices or plain air, not air pungently filled with Whiskers jelly meat. Well, maybe farmers need to try a bowl of jelly meat between the samples. Stop saying jelly meat. Well, maybe farmers need to try a bowl of jelly meat between the samples. Stop saying jelly meat. Jelly meat is the devil's food.

Yeah, but okay, so you go from Elizabeth Ardoon. Yeah, white door. And then you're like, there's a bit of churn in jelly meat. You're like, and then you go to your Gucci. You're like, oh, my God. Well, I feel that's unfair to Elizabeth Ardoon. You smelt that pre-jelly meat. And anything post-jelly meat is going to smell better. Go back to the Elizabeth Ardoon, you smelt that pre-Jellymeat. And anything post-Jellymeat is going to smell better.

Well, if you want, go back to the Elizabeth Ardoon. I think you should start with the Jellymeat. Yes, start with the Jellymeat. Start with the Jellymeat at fun. Elizabeth Ardoon, Jellymeat, Jupe, Jellymeat, Hugo Boss, Jellymeat, CK1. People need to stop wearing Jupe. No, people need to start wearing Jupe again.

If they're starting wearing the pants that were cool in the 90s and the early 2000s, it's about time we started smelling like the early 2000s. No, there's better stuff than juke. There's not anything better than juke. On those little red diesel canister. Yeah. Splash it on, boys. Splash it on. Ah, so today's

Splash it on, boys. Ah. Today's fact of the day is olfactory fatigue is where you smell something, it doesn't disappear, but your brain chooses to stop smelling it. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- On the tock? On the tock. She's the tock-tock that specialises in the throat. Okay. Wait.

That's not a swear word. No, no, no. It's not. It just means something else, Horn. What? No, does it? Throat. No, not throat.

I thought you said... No. No, I wouldn't have. I don't know what I've done. I was laughing. I'm bleeding ignorance. I was't know what I've done. I was laughing. I'm bleeding ignorance. I was laughing because it's a bad rhyme. Have I said a millennial?

Have I said a Gen Z swear word? I'm sorry. I didn't know I had. No, I just thought it was a bad rhyme. Top dog of the throat. On the throat. So she has said that throat clearing is bad for you. Oh, my God.

I mean, we have to clear our throat because we're talking. Our voice is our tool. Our voice is all the time. But you think about. I come from a long line. Do you like, I come from a long line of. That's my mum's family. My mum.

Both my mum's parents did it. My mum's less and more. Do you know if you haven't been, say you're out and about, you see someone coming that you're going to run into them, you're going to speak to them, you have a little throat clear. Yeah. Because maybe you haven't spoken for a while. You know what I mean?

I would love. Like you've been out and about and you're just like, oh, sometimes I'll get to work and I haven't spoken and then I'll go to speak and I'll be like, hold on, I've got to get these things warmed up. Mine's been definitely worse since COVID. Like there's a residual like I'm constantly clearing my throat.

Since COVID I've had this thing, it seems to happen on weekends, I happened at work the other day, maybe it's because I thought about it and I was explaining it. After I have breakfast, I have this cough attack that makes me think I'm going to like spew. I'm so badly like, because I always get the burps now since COVID, like little indigestion burps.

Little indies. And I never would burp after food. Right. COVID, eh? Stuffed us. Why can't we clear our throats? Is it damaging our vocal cords? So what we're effectively doing is moving on the protectant,

like a bit of lube for the old throat, for swallowing, drinking, eating. The mucus is there as a sort of a lubricant. So when we hum it, we get it out of the way, which will lead to more production. But in the meantime, saliva can sit there. And saliva is not like super good to just be sat on things. Oh.

Oh, dear. So we can lead to more agitation of the throat. If I don't clear my throat, I'll speak after the song. I'll be like, I'm pretty. We should edit together one show's worth, because we filmed the show the whole time. One show's worth of us all going, because I move away from the mic.

You turn your mic off. I think I have been teased about this in the past. You turn your mic off. Before you turn on the mic, you go, Yeah, he turns off his mic, goes, and then comes back mic off? I think there was a... Before you turn on the mic, you go... Yeah, he like turns off his mic, goes... and then comes back. Gives it a bit of a... Yeah, I do like a playground machine gun.

Whereas I'm less trigger happy on the button. I just go... Move away. Well, you're unprofessional. I am unprofessional. I'm untrained. You're learning.

I'm untrained. You're learning. The Department of... Can you just clear your throat before you say that word? At the San Antonio School of Medicine. It says it's extremely traumatic to your vocal cords. Really?

Yeah. And they said if you want to keep your vocal cords in tip-top condition, even when you are feeling well, it's a good idea to rest your voice for 10 minutes for every two hours of talking that you do. You should hum as well. That's what we learned at drama school. And sigh.

You are a potato on the ground. Start humming. Attempting to clear your throat silently is also a good way to reduce the potential damage. When you go, it's literally your vocal cords are like. If you made that noise the whole time.

Okay, well don't do that. Monday Maestro's is next. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley's Monday Maestros. Well, Monday Maestros. This is where on Monday we will perform or do a task set for us, do our homework set to us by producer Anna, who joins us from the production

booth next door. Good morning. Now what have you got for us today to learn over the weekend to bring on Monday? I'm really excited about this one. I would like you over the weekend to learn a

30 second introduction tell us about yourselves in Espanol. Oh, no. Si. Muy bien. You're off to a great start. I think it would set Tilden and Fletcher's favour because if it was today, O'Hailey would have it.

Yeah. And if it was... English, Vaughan would have it. If it was English, man, I mean, there's no doubt about it. That is a language I speak.'s no doubt about it That is That is a language I speak Not very well But well enough
