Yeah, that's what present givers say.
You don't have to.
So you were saying on your birthday on October 8th,
if Vaughan and I don't get you a present,
like we don't get each other presents.
I just might just sort of sit here in a little bit of a quiet huff.
Okay, so you do care.
There'll be presents. A little bit of a quiet huff. Okay, so you do care. There'll be presents.
A little bit of a huff.
Which now has to be up to the value of that.
That's a lovely bottle of scotch.

Honestly, I told Aaron to pop down and came back and I was like,
are you serious?
Yeah.

Alex, good morning.
Morning, how are you?
Good, good.
All right, now,
Vaughan's going to open
a present.
It's quite small,
this one.
It's like an envelope.
Almost a flat line.
Oh, okay.
What have we got in here?
It is $50 free fuel.
Oh, now,
that would go great
in Vaughan's chimney.
I mean, that would
pretty much be the chimney.

Play it.
ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Yesterday, you may have heard earlier in the week me talking about the fact my wife said
I had to meet her at a mall.
I suspected it was to buy me some more presentable clothing.
I just want to give a shout out to my good friend Johnny who said, where are you going?
Effing Buckingham Palace.
And I said, that's my boy.
That's my boy.
I don't need nice clothes.
He's like, I'd rather go home than dress up.
I said, that's why we're friends.
Yeah.
That's why we're friends.
But anyway, my suspicions were correct.
We went into a couple of stores.
I saw a price tag made this noise.
Oh, Jesus.
And then just went to Helenstynes.
So it's good.
I got some linen shirts.
Oh, okay.
I got linen shirts.
You knew it was going to be linen shirts?
I knew there was going to be a hard push on linen shirts.
By the way, do you know what else I own now?
What?
A pair of Birkenstocks.
Oh, fantastic.
Oh, I think you'll look good in Birkenstocks.
Yeah, you will.
They're a bloody good shoe, mate.
They're significantly more comfy than I thought they were going to be.
I will say don't leave them out in the rain.
I did.
And I think I've got some sort of fungal infection.
Very porous.
Very porous. Very porous.
Do you think you'll get mushrooms growing out of your Birkenstocks?
Maybe out of my feet.
I've got quite a rash.
Shiitake.
Maybe.
Little buddy Burton.
I've got some questions.
If you found a mushroom, a Shiitake-looking mushroom on your Birkenstock,
would you add it to a soup?
I'd absolutely stir fry it.
As long as I had no plans for the rest of the day.
Just to see where we go.
In case it was loaded
With that psychic
Drug
Right
Did you get a
Country road linen shirt
Absolutely not
Like I wore to the wedding
That was one of the stores
I walked into
Where I saw the price tag
And I was like
Handbrake out I go
She's not cheap
I did the photo
Of one in country road
And one in Hallenstein's
And I doubt
Without the labels on you
You'd be able to tell the difference
One cost like $40 And one was like $150 But one itches your skin and one doesn't it was a
very expensive shop oh i didn't pay 150. i made this noise lots oh they're about 150.
the women's linen shirts some of us some of us look at the price tag wow so you just bought an
outfit and you didn't even look at the price tags. Yeah, that's a bloody money bags over here.
So my problem being, oh, okay, I, Shardy's not awake.
I'll tell you what happened.
Okay.
She was like, can you stop being such a sook?
This is for you.
I said, really?
Because it feels like it's for you.
That's what I said.
Oh.
That's such a sookie little bitch.
That is so sookie.
Because on the way in, I wanted to go into the Lego store,
and she was like, we don't have time.
I'm like, this is my trip.
And then I walked in, and she's like, come on.
And then I was like.
Well, she wants you to look nice.
Yeah, and you got your Lego anyway.
Yeah, I got Lego today, but I didn't know that was coming, did I?
No.
My problem is, throughout my try-on period,
at the shops yesterday,
I fit a size 32 pant and I fit a size 36 pant.
There was no consistency.
It's very simple.
The numbers stand for inches.
Yeah.
It should be universally that a 32 in one store is a 32 in another,
but there was this huge discrepancy between 32s. Because a like, a 36 is, like, almost an XL, isn't it?
It's getting...
I think a 36 is a large, isn't it?
Is 34 a large?
34, yeah.
36.
34, 36, and then 38's up as XL.
Yeah.
But, yeah, from 32, there was no consistency.
No, right.
I was like, this isn't just, like...
Because women's sizing 8s and 10s is just, like, picked out of thin air, right? Oh, it was no consistency. No, right. This isn't just like, because women's sizing eights and tens is just like picked out of thin air, right?
It's absolutely cooked.
It's all over the place.
But men's sizing is literally the inch diameter of your waist.
So how can there be such a huge discrepancy?
Maybe you should get over with your tape measure to the sweatshops and crack the whip.
Yeah, I think you should.
Make sure everyone is using a measurement.
Yeah.
I was thinking of getting Pippa Wetzel on the whip. Yeah, I think you should. Make sure everyone is using a measurement. Yeah. I was thinking of getting
Pippa Wetzel on the phone.
This seems like
a fair go.
Do you want to be
the guy they interview though?
Who's got a
I'm going to voice this guy.
I've been shopping
with my wife
and there is no
Christmas this week.
I'm usually a 32.
I know I've put on
white lady
but a 32
fit in some schools
and a 36 in others.
That's a hard pill to swallow. Not as hard to swallow as a sausage roll which I've put on weight lately, but a 32-foot in some stores and a 36 in others, that's a hard pill to swallow.
Not as hard to swallow as a sausage roll, which I've had too many of lately,
which is probably why I'm in a 36 in some stores.
All right, next on the show, the top six.
Yeah, the top six.
We've got criminals, thieves, apparently their busiest week.
O-weeks.
Everybody's moving into flats.
No one's locking doors.
It's because all these students have got their car down.
They've left home with their Playstations.
Yeah.
They don't know about burglars.
Exactly.
They go in and then they go out.
They're all out to all hours.
Doors unlocked.
Thieves have an absolute rort of a time.
It's their busiest week.
So I've got the top six things I'd steal from different universities around New Zealand.
From the self-driving ZM Think so I've got the top six things I'd steal from different universities around New Zealand. From the self-driving
ZM think tank, this
is the top six.
Hi there.
Welcome to the top six, which
I've been told if I haven't finished
just to improvise, that will work wonderfully.
I love it. The top six things thieves
will steal from different universities around New Zealand.
O-week's the biggest weeks for thieves.
You would think that's scummy.
I know.
Stealing off those with little.
But is it because when you first go flatting,
you don't really think about burglars?
No, you're not precious about your stuff yet.
You've got all your laptops and your PlayStations.
Course-related costs.
Yeah.
And then you're out partying.
And you've only got two keys to the flat and 20 people live there,
so you can't lock it in case one of the key people doesn't get home first.
I used to put mine under the mat.
What?
One more time?
So I lived in a house with about seven people and we'd put our spare key under the mat.
Under the mat.
Under the mat.
It's crazy.
Wow.
It's revolutionary.
But has that done a full circle Because no one ever expects
Key to be under the mat
But now
You put it there
Because no one expects it
If I was a burglar
And I turned up
I'd be like
There's no way
But I'll have a peek
Also
And you see it
You'd be like
For God's sake
Have a look under the
Fake looking rock
Why don't you put your hand
Into the
Gum boot
Why don't you Shake that hand into the gumboot? Why don't you shake that shoe?
Yeah.
So the top six things these will steal from different universities.
Number six on Otago University in Dunedin.
Yep.
They will be stealing toffer jackets, PS5s,
and secondhand leather furniture from mother and father who are also doctors.
Oh.
Because they've sent down their
children to follow in their footsteps.
Yeah. Who take these
tatty leather couches.
And put them on the front porch.
Every year a bunch of Auckland students that remind you
of Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter
roll into town. They're like, I'm going to be
a doctor like my
father.
And my
mother.
Love the puffer though, students, don't they?
Oh, well, they get very cold.
What a stinky puffer.
Remember when you'd have a puffer jacket, you'd never wash it?
How do you wash a puffer?
Well, you can't wash it, can you?
You simply can't.
Three years into uni.
Dry cleaner puffer?
No, no.
What students popping down to the dry cleaners?
I don't know.
Mother, father, I need to dry clean my...
We'll just send you a new one.
Number five on the list of the top six things thieves will steal from different universities
are Victoria University and Wellington.
Thieves will be stealing first run prints of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
with J.K. Rowling's name redacted.
Yep.
Because they love Harry Potter, but there's a straight black vivid name through anything
Rowling because she's a TERF.
Coffee beans and cardigans from secondhand stores.
Those are your big ticket items to steal if you're a thief.
Does that hurt, being a Wellingtonian?
No, I'm like, I feel very seen.
It's on the mark.
Yeah, the cardigans for sure.
Definitely.
Number four on the list of the top six things
thieves will steal from different universities.
Canterbury University and Christchurch,
they'll be stealing bottles of cheap vodka and houseplants that definitely won't survive a Canterbury University and Christchurch. They'll be stealing bottles of cheap vodka and houseplants
that definitely won't survive a Canterbury winter.
No.
They took a houseplant down there and they're like,
I'm just going to have some creature comforts at this flat in Christchurch.
Good luck with a houseplant.
Number three on the list is Waikato University.
In Hamilton, the top six things thieves will steal from Waikato University.
Weed.
Yeah.
Number two on the list
of the top six things.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
It's the only thing
worth stealing in there.
The top six things thieves
will steal from
different universities.
Auckland University.
In Auckland, nothing
because the students
still live with their parents.
And the poor kids
from the regions
literally bought
nothing with them.
Like, nothing.
Because their parents are like,
I'm not driving the bloody ute up to Auckland.
You can catch a plane.
They've all got COVID.
Yeah, bloody.
What are you going there for?
You should have stayed on the farm and you and your brother could have
inherited and run it like 18 generations before you.
I hate this character.
I hate him.
Yeah.
I told you.
Then there's the casual racism But a homophobia
It's just how we bloody talk down here
We don't mince words
And number one on the list of the top six things
Thieves will steal from different universities
Massey University and Parmy
They will steal the ketamine
That the students also stole from
Their university
Where they administer it
As a painkiller for animals.
That is today's top six.
Katie joins us. Good morning, Katie.
Good morning. How are you guys doing?
Good, thank you. Pick the one off the top. It feels like a book, Katie.
Oh, okay.
Open that up.
It's a Dungeons
and Dragons player's handbook, Katie. It's a Dungeons & Dragons player's handbook, Katie.
This is a Dungeons & Dragons player's handbook.
You're not stealing that, Katie.
Speak for Katie.
Well, it's my birthday on the 22nd,
so since when you come first, you can have the present.
Oh!
Then I'm going to play fiendish resistance.
That's very polite.
It's a polite way of saying, I don't want that piece of shit gift.
It sounds lovely.
It is lovely.
It doesn't, Katie, does it?
Oh, this is cool.
Yes.
Thanks, Katie.
Thanks, everybody.
No worries.
Happy birthday.
Thanks, Katie.
And happy birthday for the 22nd, Katie.
Thank you, Katie.
From one Piscerian to another.
Tash, good morning.
Good morning.
All right. We've got another birthday. Oh, yeah, yes, yes, yes
That one, that's kind of big
This is an unusual shape, Tash
It's box-like, it's cube-like
It's oblong-ish
Oh, what's this?
Oh my gosh, Tash
It's, um, you put it around your penis
And you turn it on
And it gives your penis and you turn it on.
And it gives your partner pleasure.
This is a three-parter, Tash.
This one's got butt plugs.
Three different sizes of butt plugs.
I'm imagining, Tash, you start at the smallest you work your way up,
unless you're a pro.
Take a deep breath. And that is a sheer satisfaction, karma suction, and Wulza McDoozy.
That's a full situation there, Tash.
I believe all thanks as well to Adult Toy Megastore.
I love Adult Toy Megastore.
New Zealand's favourite online retailer for everything adult.
And I believe that's worth $280.
$280 worth of dillies and pluggies.
Pluggies, dillies, vibratos.
Does she have to take all three? Maybe she doesn't want the butt plugs. No, she did. and pluggies. Pluggies, dillies and vibrato's. Tash,
does she have to take all three?
Maybe she doesn't want the butt plucks.
No, she needs them all.
Not that I want the butt plucks.
But you know,
you're 40 now.
It certainly sounds
like you do want them.
She might not know
she wants them.
Tash,
I've actually got a hen's party
this weekend
and it would be the perfect gift.
It's not going to,
I don't want to set the,
it's not going to arrive
in time for the hen's party.
If you're in Auckland
you can come
and pick it up.
We can do a
contactless pick up.
Tash, would you
like to grab
Vaughan's birthday
presents or would
you like to gift
it to Vaughan?
I'll grab it.
You're going to
grab it?
All three?
All three?
Just check it out.
I mean Tash,
it's saying a lot
about you.
That's all good
though.
Happy birthday
to Sunday.
You're going to be having a bloody happy Sunday.
I reckon so.
You're doing the old contactless.
Thanks, Tash.
Happy birthday to you whenever your birthday is.
All right, Shanna, good morning.
Is that me?
Hannah?
Oh, Hannah.
No one's called Shanna.
Somebody put an S before the H.
No one's called Shanna.
Hannah.
We're going to go ahead and call you Shanna.
Hannah.
This looks like a voucher.
Looks like a little voucher.
Okay, here we go.
Here's a voucher.
All right, what have we got here?
Shanna loves a voucher.
A veggie garden starter pack.
I don't know what that constitutes.
Hannah.
I feel like Vaughn's already got an amazing vegetable garden
and mine sucks.
Absolutely.
Are you going to take it, Hannah?
Yeah, I might have to take that.
Sorry, boys.
That's absolutely fine, Hannah.
Yes.
Would you have preferred a veggie garden starter pack or the butt plug three pack?
Oh, my partner might have preferred the butt plug starter pack.
I prefer the vegetable garden.
Wow.
Wow.
Absolutely.
He's been outed at 6.41 on a Friday morning.
Thanks, Hannah.
Love that.
Next present. We've got another present. We've got so many presents to get through. Again, it feels like.41 on a Friday morning. Thanks, Hannah. Love that. Next present.
We've got another present.
We've got so many presents to get through.
Jade, good morning.
Good morning.
Happy Friday, guys.
Happy Friday.
Another voucher?
What have we got here?
Okay, this is thanks to our friends at the iconic Sky Tower,
a family pass for the Sky Tower.
Oh.
Jade.
Jade, where in the country are you?
In the cargo.
Okay.
I mean, there's no expiry on this.
It's the perfect time at the moment
to be travelling up and down the island.
Do you want...
Tip to toe.
Do you want a family pass
to go up to the Sky Tower?
I might give this one to Vaughan.
Happy birthday, Vaughan.
Thank you, Jade.
Because you can take the family.
Take the family up to Sky Tower.
Family for?
Oh, that's lovely.
Family sex, Jade.
Thanks, Jade.
All right, Siobhan, you get the last present at the moment.
And this is a long one.
This is a big one.
It's a long one.
Do you know it looks like a hoverboard?
I think it looks like the Nimbus 2000, the broom from Harry Potter.
Oh, yeah, could be, could be.
All right, let's open up.
Oh, how exciting.
The female version of Vaughn.
I hope this one's not about a dilly.
I'm alarmed.
Can I just say it's my husband's birthday on Sunday,
and as well as that, our wedding anniversary
is the same weekend as Vaughn and Sade,
so we're kind of living parallel lives.
His name's not He Day, is it?
All right, you have one.
Oh, it's an outdoor Oxford camping chair.
It's one of those foldy-out ones with a little,
it's got a spot for a beer holder or a wine holder on the side.
You'd love that.
Take that camping.
You'd love that camping, wouldn't you, Vaughan?
Yeah, that's a good start.
But, Sade, you'd probably love that more. Your husband probably likes to sit. You also love that camping, wouldn't you, Vaughan? Yeah, that's a good start. But Siobhan, you'd probably love that more.
Your husband probably likes to sit. You also like to sit?
We've spent the year renovating
a 1970s caravan,
so my hubby would love that. I'm going to steal it.
And you've got
a 70s caravan. That's something we want to do.
This could be...
My husband wants a jibney.
He's barbecue obsessed.
It's pretty freaky.
Oh my God,
you married him
Are we swinging?
I think we're swinging.
I'll bring,
we'll steal one of
these butt plates.
I think you gave
that out to a
Megastore president
of the room.
Yeah, okay,
we'll give that
to your husband.
Whose name is...
What's your husband's
name?
Siobhan.
Siobhan.
Tim.
Tim.
Tim.
Tim and Vaughn.
Great mates.
I can see it. Tim and Vaughn, yeah, I can see that happening. Thanks. Good work, good Tim. Tim. Tim. Tim and Vaughan. Great mates. I can see it.
Tim and Vaughan.
Yeah, I can see that happening.
Thanks.
Good work.
Good work, Tim.
Congratulations on that cheer.
And Jimneys are great.
Worth the investment.
What's happening next?
We're out of presents for now.
Well, we'll have more presents throughout the morning because what?
We've only given away nine?
Yes.
Nine so far.
All right.
So 31 presents remaining.
Well, today's silly little poll we asked you on Instagram.
Have you ever been swimming in the nuddy?
Have you ever swum naked?
Yeah.
Was this specific to any body of water, like pools versus oceans versus rivers? Well, you've got a pool.
Do you go nude swimming?
I've been nude in the pool.
I've been nude in the pool.
I've had a river swim.
In fact, I've swum in all the water nude.
Okay.
Oh, a river swim nude is very nice.
It's invigorating.
Yeah.
Get a little bit of ditty mo.
Yeah.
A little bit of ditty mo on the ditty hole and away you go.
Brush up against an eel.
You better wash your boats, your boots, and your diddles after a naked swim.
Absolutely.
Well, this is actually surprising to me.
The stats came in 58% have been swimming in the nude.
42 not.
You've got to try it.
I thought there would be a lot more.
Me too.
You know, at some stage in your life, people have gone nude.
But do you think it's just a body?
Like people who just aren't.
An insecurity thing.
And maybe the nude swimming would.
I highly recommend just getting in the ocean and then taking off your stuff, you know,
and swimming around for a bit and then putting it back on.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
What if you lose your keenie?
You've got to enter nude.
Yeah, you can't lose your keenie.
You've got to enter nude.
You've got to experience your naked body slowly being invalid.
And also your naked body running down the stones of the riverbank.
Rub-a-dee, rub-a-dee, rub-a-dee.
Oh, you've got to try it.
There's something about it.
Well, some messages in from people that are pro or have not yet.
Abby said, loved a good nakey swim on my gap year.
Highlight was trying to do a naked run across a pool cover.
Oh, fun.
You're going to drown.
Don't play with them.
As I said to my children, don't muck around with that pool cover.
If you get stuck underneath it.
Yeah.
That was a real horror story in the 90s too.
That really freaked people out with pull cover
stories. Ivani
says, stripped in the car with a guy I was seeing
to skinny drip during a storm. It was pouring
and grey and darker. We ran down the beach
and the tide was out. We just couldn't get to the water
so we turned around and ran back.
Nothing like being sort of in the moment like
I'm feeling brave and then you're at your
knees and you've been running for a kilometre.
And you're running and you can just hear slapping
and you're not sure what it is.
Ah, because it's dark.
After a wine tour in the Hawke's Bay, writes Poppy,
a group of girlfriends and I skinny dipped in the ocean.
It was 6pm, so I'm very sorry to all the families walking their dogs.
6pm, wow.
Kim writes, swam at the beach in the islands,
chucked all our clothes on the rocks nearby, and of course some fishermen with a net, they catched all the schools of fish which swim along the shoreline. Kim writes, Oh, that's insulting.
It's very insulting.
That your bits are doing that.
Sam says it's a New Year's Eve skinny dip tradition after midnight.
Naked swimming is absolutely glorious.
It's the best type of swimming.
It's a good feeling.
It's all up in your bits.
Yeah.
Get a bit of water around it.
All up in and around.
All right, next on the show, we're going to give away some of Vaughan's birthday presents.
If you'd like to grab one of Vaughan's birthday gifts or maybe gift it to Vaughan, you decide.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Vaughan's 40 presents for 40.
Well, all morning we are unwrapping 40 presents for Vaughan,
who turns 40 on Sunday.
But there is a catch.
All these presents that we've sourced, things that you were not born. Curated? Yeah.
But the listener have the chance
when you open each of these presents
to either grab it for themselves
or maybe gift it to you. Or gift it.
So far, quite a bit of generosity.
Yeah, but that was for the nerd Dungeons
and Dragons nerd stuff.
And the Lego. Everyone
else has stolen everything else, haven't they?
You missed out on the butt plugs, which I can see.
He was quite disappointed in that one.
That one hurts.
That one hurts.
You were.
It shouldn't hurt, Bourne.
Joining us now, Sophie.
Good morning.
It's only the small one.
There you go.
Take a deep breath.
Good morning, Sophie.
Morning.
All right.
Now, this looks like it'll be a voucher of some kind.
A voucher of some sort.
Love a voucher.
A $50 grocery voucher, Sophie.
Ooh.
Oh, yeah. I've got to take it.
Take it, baby.
Yoink, yoink.
Yes, yes, yes.
Vaughn doesn't need groceries.
Taylor, good morning.
I famously just survived the sunlight.
Good morning, everyone.
Good, good.
All right, Taylor, let's open something there, Vaughn.
Grab the biggest one, Vaughn.
Yeah, I'm going to go for a big one.
That one?
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yep, okay, that's the biggest one, Vaughn. Yeah, I'm going to go for a big one. That one? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, okay, that's the biggest one.
Oh.
Oh, my gosh, it's more sex stuff.
We have in front of us here, Taylor.
I believe, Vaughn, this is, again, thanks to adulttoymegastore.co.nz,
New Zealand's favourite online retailer for everything adult.
What?
I'm seeing feathers.
This is worth $220.
It's an adult romance pack.
Oh.
The feathers smell a bit like
Play-Doh.
Taylor, do you have a...
I was taken back to my childhood
with this kinky feather thing.
Taylor, do you have a partner?
No, we've just broken up
before Christmas.
Oh.
Well, you need to get
the romance pack.
There's a massage candle set
with vanilla rose pheromone. There's a treasure trove of Kama Sutra. But, oh, wow. Well, you need to get the romance back. There's a massage candle set with vanilla rose pheromone.
There's a treasure trove of Kama Sutra.
Oh, good French.
Hello.
You will need to find someone to enjoy this beginner's bondage kit.
Oh, my gosh, Taylor.
Is that a Jon Hamm lookalike?
I think I've already got all of that anyway.
Do you want to just go quickly check your side drawer? Taylor, no, no, I've already got all of that anyway. Do you want to just go quickly and check your side drawer?
Taylor, I've just checked.
Yep, I've got them.
You've got all that?
Okay.
Just checking you've got the breathable ball gag, Taylor?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got the breathable version.
I don't want your chokings all.
Okay, now, Taylor, would you like to grab it or gift it to Vaughn?
You know what?
I feel...
You shouldn't feel bad about taking these things, Taylor,
if you need to add it to your collection.
I don't know that you should be using your bondage kit
from your previous partner with a new partner.
And not by yourself.
You always need a spotter.
You know what?
I'll take it.
Yeah, okay.
Good lad.
Yeah, I'll take it.
Yes, Taylor. Yeah. I think that was faux'll take it. Yeah, okay. Good lad. Yeah, I'll take it. Yes, Taylor.
Yeah.
I think that was faux hesitation is what we've just seen.
You didn't want to seem too keen there, Taylor.
Well, I'm wondering whether or not to give it to Fletch or not.
Oh.
That's another birthday.
Excuse me.
That's his beginner's bondage kit.
Fletch's at expert level and has been for years.
His kit's made out of stainless steel and tethered to the roof.
He had to get permission from the building he lives in
to anchor it into the concrete support base.
He had to put in a support base.
Those were my ceiling fans, not any of the others.
I think he had to get council consent and an engineer's sign-off.
Oh, mate, you'd be waiting years to get council consent for that.
God, you can string up some fatties, though, can't you?
Shannon, good morning.
Morning.
Okay.
Happy birthday to Sunday.
Thank you, Shannon.
All right, I think you've avoided the controversial present there.
$50 free fuel is what I've just opened.
Ooh, okay.
Shannon, put that in your tank.
Do me a favour, put that in your tank.
I'm going to grab that.
Yeah, you put that in your tank. Cheers, Shannon. You put that in your tank. I'm going to grab that.
Cheers, Shannon.
Vaughan can fill up his own car.
It actually does need gas.
Rosie joins us.
The last gift now.
Let's quickly open this, Vaughan.
It's a Whopper, Rosie. Good morning, Rosie.
Good morning.
Oh, it's from our friends at Akoya.
Shop the celebration collection at Akoya at Akoya.com.
Check them out on Instagram at Akoya.
Yes, it's a big pack.
Is this the one I just got?
No, this is white musk and warm vanilla.
There's some candles.
Yeah, all the celebration candles are great.
Oh, my gosh.
Smells amazing.
Now, Rosie.
Beautiful.
Rosie, do you love an Akoya candle?
Absolutely.
Who doesn't?
Who doesn't, Rosie?
Rosie, are you going to grab or gift it?
I'm going to grab that.
Yes!
I came out with nothing from this one.
Sorry.
Rosie, don't be sorry.
Oh, there's a whopping bag there, Rosie? It's a big, heavy bag of candles.
You enjoy that.
Still a load more presents for you to win
or gift to Vaughn over the next couple of hours.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
A guy called Ryan Dubs,
at Ryan Dubs on TikTok,
has got himself in a little bit of hot water,
I guess, from his followers
after he shared on TikTok that he spends
$3,000 New Zealand dollars a month on bottled water.
Self-proclaimed water snob.
Also describes himself as a brand king
and creative director to the stars.
This guy's so creative, director to the stars.
He said, I know what you're thinking.
Everyone's like, do you?
And he said, where do I keep it all?
Not the first thought that came to mind.
He's got four fridges that he fills with this.
He orders Voss, you know Voss, the ones in the glass.
Oh, that's like a fancy.
Oh, so a glass bottle so it could be really fancy.
Still though, it seems a waste.
No, he's a good guy.
He's a good guy because like he said,
he was actually having that Fiji water delivered to his house,
but it started to weigh on him, you know,
like how much plastic it was putting into the environment.
So then he changed to Voss. Why doesn't he get a water tap?
A purifying thing installed.
Why doesn't he just turn the tap on and realise
his privilege of his access to fresh water?
Where does he live though?
Americans hate drinking out of the tap,
hey? He's American.
Have you seen
LA when you're in California? It's all like,
I don't know, you go past those canals and stuff
and you're just like, bleh.
Well, people were just like, this dude is a joke, basically.
Very humiliating.
We need a world reset.
If you put the bottle to your ear, you can hear the marketing team laughing.
How good would a world reset be?
Just a control-alt-delete.
Yeah.
Like, everybody's still here.
Undo, undo, undo, undo, undo.
Do you mean just get rid of the internet?
Sometimes.
Sometimes I mean that.
Yeah.
I like my water from the tap.
It's excessive.
You know when you're at a restaurant and they're always like,
do you want some water?
And you're like, yes, please.
And they're like, sparkling or still?
I'm always like, tap.
Don't you go cranking open a lemon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's the Brad Antipodes? Don't be. Yeah. Hit me with some tap. Hit me with some lukewarm tap. With some you go cranking open a lemon. What's the antipodes?
Hit me with some tap.
Hit me with some lukewarm tap.
But then when you say that
you're like, just tap.
Because you don't want people to hear that you're...
I want free water.
I want the water I've got at home.
Could you just fill up my drink bottle for me?
Yeah.
My mouldy systema.
Some people are a bit...
If they grow up in some parts of New Zealand,
come to, say, the big cities,
and they're like,
oh, I don't like the water here.
It tastes yuck.
Water at your house is yuck.
Your water's yuck.
Do you have yuck water?
He's got yuck water.
Why have I got yuck?
Water here is nice
because I think there's like
10 filtration systems
and it comes out of that cold tap.
But yours is very...
Why is mine yuck? I hate a thick water.
Where was I recently?
Oh, I went over to Waiheke Island.
No.
They've got like a thick milky water.
You know what I mean?
But then that's also another reason
people buy bonded water.
I'd just rather get out of the tap.
Who cares? Same stuff.
So you spend $3,000 a month on water. Yeah, $3,000 a month. I just want to get out of the tap. Who cares? Same stuff. Absolutely.
So he's spending $3,000 a month on water.
Yeah.
Yeah, $3,000 a month.
Is there anything that you guys spend money on that you don't,
that you spend too much money on?
We are going to ask people, don't we?
That's why we were both looking at you.
That was the most beautiful pickup
of my absolute letdown there.
Yes, he spends $3,000 a month
on an absolute unessential item.
Yep.
Water.
We want to know what you spend too much money on
that you probably don't need to.
That you're addicted to.
Yeah.
Like a lot of people spend money on energy drinks.
Energy drinks.
That gets up.
Makeup.
Coffees.
Makeup.
No, you need makeup.
You need makeup.
I'm rocking a couple of real cystic pimples on my chin at the moment.
Right.
So, God bless.
I'm going to use the expensive stuff on those.
Right.
Can you hear them?
Doof, doof.
They've got their own pulse.
They're about to break through.
Yeah.
What do you spend too much money on that you probably don't need to?
Yeah.
Maybe you've got an addiction to bottled water.
Maybe it's cigarettes.
God, it's 2022.
Maybe you can't say no to Smiggle.
Every time you look at it toilet, I don't pen.
People get hobbies, like they
start collecting something and then before you know it
you're spending so much money
each month on train sets.
All the rings figurines. But then to
me, if it's stopping you going and
spending the money boozing or whatever, then
it's just a different, your entertainment
budget has been real. As a collector of booze,
and I collect it in my liver,
I reject that.
We're talking about a man who has admitted online
to spending $3,000 New Zealand dollars a month
on his bottled water addiction.
He calls himself a self-proclaimed water snob.
So we asked you,
what do you spend way too much money on
that you don't need to be spending?
Too good for tap water,
for council juice, as some people have called it.
Council juice. Council juice in Scotland,
apparently they're called tap water council juice. John, what do you spend
too much money on? That's the question we're asking
this morning.
Johnny.
Oh, is that me? That's you, babe. I know there's a few
Johns out there, John. I probably spend like
probably about a hundred bucks a week on vape juice.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's a lot of vape juice.
Yeah, I don't have the refill one.
Oh, I have the refill one, but like I buy the gas station one.
Oh, yeah, the little pods.
Right.
Is that the expensive way of doing it?
Yeah, rather than having the little like refill.
Yeah, I've seen producer Jared refill in the old vape.
Yeah.
You'd spend more if you were smoking, though, wouldn't you?
Yeah, definitely.
He's going through $100 a week.
$100 going through $10,000 a week smokes.
John, thanks for your call.
Anonymous, what do you spend too much money on?
Coke Zero.
Oh, how good.
Yeah, we love a Coke Zero.
How much a day, though, or a month?
So every week I buy five 30-packs.
There's seven of us in the house.
And then my husband, he stopped drinking alcohol,
so now he'll go and buy a bottle of Coke Zero when he needs one when he's working.
So he probably buys about five or six of them a day.
So I wear them around. It's probably buys about five or six of them a day. So I wear them around, probably roughly about 150 to 200 bucks a week.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we don't love it that much.
We were like, yum, we love it.
Like maybe a can every month.
Yeah.
Wow, that's so much.
Oh, your dentist is just like shivering.
No, but there's no sugar in it.
No, but it's not just the sugar.
Oh, yeah, they say that about soda water, though, too, don't they?
Anonymous, thanks, you call some messages in.
Of what you spend insane amounts of money on.
Somebody, there's books.
I haven't read half of them.
Nerd.
I just keep buying more books.
You heard about Netflix, bro?
Plants.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of plants.
Got you there.
Kane says, haircuts.
I go far too often.
But that's the thing.
If you've got a really, like, precise swish fade,
you've got to keep that fresh.
They grow out silly.
It's irregular.
It's for you needing to have haircuts.
O'Malley's that I go, is it O'Malley's across the road here?
O'Malley's, yes.
O'Malley's.
Patrick O'Malley.
Hey.
So they cut hair for the Les Mills instructors.
Oh, yeah.
And the Les Mills instructors go like four times a week
to keep the freshest looking face.
You've got to look good when you're doing your pump class
or your cycle class.
Give me strength.
Coffee.
Somebody else said just insane.
Like I added up once how much money I spent on coffee.
It made me sick.
Oh, I know.
That's why when people say,
oh, if you want to buy a house,
you know, save $5 a day.
It's like saving a coffee a day.
Everyone always says that.
It's a coffee a day.
My husband spends money on records.
We've got free premium Spotify with our phone account.
He can literally listen to any song.
It's not the same, babe.
Apart from Neil Young.
Yeah.
It's not the same.
And he just keeps buying more.
Oh, mine has to be Farming Simulator.
I keep up every year and then I buy the expansion packs for them.
Such a good game.

Is this two-way?
You play walkie-talkies.
It's walkie-talkies!
It's like three walkie-talkies with a 3K.
Don't open that.
It's not yours yet.
Jared, he was just ripping into it.
He's excited about this one.
Jared, would you like the walkie-talkies?
Would you like those?
I would like them.

Okay, are you going to take them?
Yeah, I will. Okay, are you going to take them? Yeah, I will.

Hi.

Oh, yeah.
Is that a hand?
It was a squash racket until I picked it up.
No, too small, too small.
Let's open this.
Oh.
It's a Weber barbecue badminton. Oh! It's a Weber Barbecue tongs and spatula.
Now, I do have barbecue stuff, but it's always good to get a new one.
And that's a big, fat, and big, fat, and big, fat, and that's an official Weber one.
So you've probably got a Kmart one.
Good tong tongs.
Now, I've got a Weber one, but they've had a hiding.
You could slap a bit of meat with that.
Oh, my God.
Spanking it.
If you do take this, Amy, I need you to promise you're going to spank some meat with that. Oh, my God. Spanking it. If you do take this, Amy,
I need you to promise you're going to spank some meat with it.
All right, Amy.
Yes, please.
You want to take it?

You slapped at me, Amy.
You're going to slap it though, Amy.
You're going to slap it.
You've got the Weber barbecue set.

Thank you, Yasmin.
I like Yasmin's energy.
All right.
Okay, I'm going to open this one.
It is.
It's a Super Soaker.
It's a Nerf Super Soaker made to look like the shotgun from Fortnite.
Oh, that's cool.
That's pretty cool.
Fortnite, don't you?
That's pretty cool.
All right.
Yasmin, are you going to keep that gift for yourself
or are you going to give it to Vaughn for his birthday?
I'm going to have to.
I love Fortnite.
Yes.
Oh, he's having a sop.
I am being robbed blind on my birthday.
He's having a sop.
I love that.
Hey, thank you so much.
Let's go to Emily. Good morning, Emily. Good morning. How are you? Happy birthday. I love that. Hey, thank you so much. Let's go to Emily.
Good morning, Emily.
Good morning.
How are you?
Happy birthday.
Thank you, Emily.
Is it that?
Yeah, I was so close.
Anyhow, mate.
Okay.
It's an Ahsoka Tano, who's my favourite Star Wars character.
You'll know her, Rosario Dawson from The Mandalorian,
but you'll know her from Clone Wars if you're a true Star Wars character. You'll know her, Rosario Dawson from The Mandalorian, but you'll know her
from Clone Wars
if you're a true Star Wars fan.
It's a pop,
it's a pop vinyl
of Ahsoka Tano.
A little toy.
Do you know those little toys,
Emily?
Do you know those big heads?
So much more.
Yes, yes, yes.
I think Vaughn would like it.
Now, are you going to
gift it to Vaughn
or are you going to
keep it yourself?
I'm going to gift it.
Oh!
Woof, woof, woof, woof. Beautiful, beautiful. My wife thanks you. She doesn't really, or are you going to keep it yourself? I'm going to gift it. Yay!
Beautiful, beautiful.
My wife thanks you.
She doesn't really.
She hates when I keep bringing these home.
She does.
All right, congratulations. Thank you so much.
Lana, good morning.
Good morning.
All right, now, Lana, we've got the last present here.
Not a lot.
Well, there's plenty more, but the last present for right now.
Wow.
It's got a Vouchery vibe to it.
Okay, open that up.
Vaughn, what is it?
Don't crinkle it.
What were you doing?
Are you sitting on a rocking chair on a porch?
Lana, this is cool.
You couldn't even put a price on this.
A long lunch with TVNZ1 breakfast sensation Maddie McLean.
Who I believe joins us on the phone now.
Oh my God.
Good morning.
Morning, Maddie.
Morning.
Here's the thing.
Is this a present for Vaughn or is it a present for me?
I feel like all my Christmases have come at once.
Oh, wow.
We've dined before and gosh, we have a hoot when we dine, don't we?
Hey, Maddie.
We really do.
Maddie, we'd like you to meet Lana.
Lana's on the phone.
She has the option to steal this from Vaughan.
Who would you prefer to go to lunch with, Maddie?
Lana or your old mate Vaughan?
Well, Lana, hi.
How are you?
Good.
And I just want to preface that it is my birthday
next week.
My birthday present would be for you.
Oh, this is getting good.
Lana, do you have any interest in TV One's
Maddie McLean?
I do love the
TikTok dancers, I do have to say.
Oh, okay, so you could ask him
about that at lunch. You could.
I could, but I do know that Vaughn has a nice bromance going on.
He's my key to journey so, but don't tell Maddie that.
See, I was going to say lose the B.
It's just an out-and-out romance.
It is.
Yeah, it really is.
Too much pro left in it.
All right, Lana, would you like to take the lunch with Tevye One's Maddie McLean
or would you like to gift it to Vaughn?
I would like to gift it to Vaughn.
Oh, my God.
It's another one for the old smithy.
She's not a Maddie fan, is she?
Yeah, Maddie, she doesn't like you.
She doesn't want to hang out.
Or she just knows that the love that Vaughn and I have is too powerful to come to terms with.
Yeah, that's true.
Maddie, where will you be taking Vaughn for this lunch?
You're paying, by the way, Maddie.
Did we tell you that?
Okay, great.
Yeah, what have I signed up for?
Take me to your cottage.
Okay, perfect.
Okay, we'll go to the cottage.
It's been a romantic.
We can make it last the whole weekend if you want.
Yes.
And let's not take partners.
Perfect. That be so risky.
That'd be that Ryan's like,
oh, that's my Maddie.
I'm like, who's this?
Bye, Ryan.
It was nice while it lasted, Ryan.
Yeah, make sure Maddie and Ryan can hang out.
All right, Maddie McLean,
thank you so much.
What a lovely prison. We'll open up some of Vaughn's birthday gifts
again before 8 o'clock.
It's Hayley's version this week.
Not good timing.
I actually just choked on some water.
But Hayley's version this week, it's a first.
I'm doing things slightly differently this week
I wanted to add some production value
Some layering
So Hayley's version
Usually done live in studio
Usually a cover
This week
It's a pre-recorded
From my home studio
Original
It's original
Indeed
Because
It is not about
The Wellington protests.
You've lied to us.
I have.
It is about Vaughan Smith.
Hit it.
Ba-ba-ba-birthday.
Ba-ba-ba-boy.
Vaughan Smith in town.
Uh-uh.

You know Vaughn, bushy beard, fierce hat, sick grin
He's the squeaky little fella with the skinny little pins
Well, it's his birthday again, an old boy
But apparently not old enough to stop playing with toys
Beg your pardon, not toys, collectibles, sorry
Vaughn, we all know figurine is just a fancy word for dolly
A farmer, a father, aibles, sorry. Vaughan, we all know figurine is just a fancy word for dolly. A farmer, a father,
a lover, a chum. He's that guy
at the gym who's been staring at your bum.
He's the man with the tongs cooking up a
slab of meat. He's the boy in the tiny
truck driving down your street. He's the fully
grown man playing video games.
He's the guy doing all he can to guess
your mum's name. He's the man looking in
the mirror every single day thinking, how
did I land a wife as hot as Sade
Born, you're getting older now, you're no longer 39
It's time to fix the music, man, you're one step closer to dying
Born, it is your birthday and it's quite a significant one
You're 4-0-4-T on on the dot Your time is ticking on
Now I'm sure you're thinking
Nah, I've got plenty of time
Well, maybe you should
pass that message
onto your spine
You can't do jack
with a back like that
So grab another brioche
lean in, get fat
You know, the more
I think about it, Vaughn
the more I think you're weird
A farming gaming Star Wars nerd
with a hip to beard
Who loves a pricey single mold
and a break from all the noise
but who also thinks a fantasy based role playing game
is a dream night with the boys.
He loves a beer, a rouge, a whiskey
a port. He's the guy with a wardrobe
filled with cut off denim shorts. He's the man
who farms on PS5 as well as in real life.
He's the bloke that does weird shit like welding
his own knife. He's the man with cows and pigs
and chooks and cats and dogs and goats. Better slow
down Noah soon you'll have to build a boat. He's the one who cows and pigs and chooks and cats and dogs and goats Better slow down Noah, soon you'll have to build a boat
He's the one who clearly gives his family everything he has
Cause a message from his kids
We love you dad

It's time to face the music man, you're one step closer to dying
Born it is your birthday, And it's quite a significant one
You're 4040 on the dot
Your time is ticking on
Happy birthday, Vornay.
Yes!
That is amazing.
That's one of the nicest gifts I've ever received.
We were talking about how horrible it is to get
like genuinely nice messages from people
and like the effort
that you've put into that.
It's like,
I love attention,
but as long as I'm orchestrating
how I get it.
Yeah.
I gave you a two minute 40
worth of attention.
That's beautiful.
I love it.
Thank you so much.
Oh, my pleasure.
That and a bottle of whiskey.
Fletch.
I'm just saying.

A man my age with my back and my impending heart issues. No, it's not on the big. They pull you back. I don't actually, I don't know if a man like this, a man my age with my
back and my impending heart issues.
It's not on the back because they pull you back
and then something clicks and they shoot you forward.
Does that sound like a bit of you, Ashley?
I'm actually terrified of heights.
So you're making
Vaughn do this for his 40th?
Yeah, I am going to. Thank you.
That's cool. Happy birthday.

Large AS colour raglan tee. It's a raglan tea. Large AS colour raglan tea.
It's a classic Vaughan wear, Anastasia.
Yesterday when I was packing a real sock when my wife was taking me shopping,
I said, can we just go to AS colour?
I do have to say, Anastasia, I want this for you,
but also Vaughan is very sweaty this morning and has not packed a spare.
I can do with a fresh tea change.
Now, would you like to give this to Vaughan, Anastasia, for his birthday,
or would you like to take it?
You know what?
I'm a team player, and he needs to change it for the rest of the team.
Thank you very much.
Oh, he gets to keep one of his presents.
It's a little bit smelly.
Thanks, Anastasia.
Happy birthday.

the joy
in us listening
if you do take it?
Oh,
he's laughing already.
It's Vaughn's birthday.
There's no way.
Happy birthday, Vaughn.
Thank you.
I used to have Tamias like this when I was a kid.
I used to love doing this.
People are too nice to you, Vaughn.
Surrounded by angels.
Be nice.
Be nice.
Receive the niceness.
Oh, is that?
Okay.
Ashley, good morning.
Good morning.
Are you a nice person as well?
It depends what it is.
Yeah, if it's a nerd thing or a toy, probably not.
Then you're getting a voucher-shaped one.
Okay.
He changed his mind.
I just joked.
We do a voucher.
You're going to love it.
It's a $50 yum cha voucher.
Oh, yum.
So if you go to yum cha.
That wouldn't even touch the sides of the Smith family.
Well, that's entrees. It'd be the tiniest dent. Oh, Yum Cha. So if you go to Yum Cha. That wouldn't even touch the sides of the Smith family. Well, that's entrees.
It'd be the tiniest dent.
All right, Ashley, you now need to decide.
Are you going to take Vaughn's birthday present
or are you going to gift it to him?
$50 Yum Cha.
I'm going to take it.
Yeah, girl.
Yeah, you tried Yum Cha?
You've been to Yum Cha?
No, I haven't.
All right, well, then I wouldn't rob you of this experience.
That would be fantastic.
Don't be put off by the chicken feet.
Eat them as well.
They're actually quite delicious.

Raptor Naturals is a New Zealand company that does barbecue rubs
and apparently they're branched out into sauces
because there's a tomato aioli sauce in there.
Oh, that looks yum.
So it's a pack of cowboy steak, veggie salt sprinkle,
and Lucky Kentucky rubs.
Oh, wow.
I think I'm going to have to keep that one.
Yeah, girl.
Yes.
Her voice sounds like a thief.
No, congratulate Kelly as well with her rights to steal your birthday present.
Georgia, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Keep opening these gifts, guys.
So many.
Voucheries.
Oh, a Thai massage voucher.
How good's a Thai massage?
They bend your hand.
At the end, they do give you a little bit of a bend.
Baps out, they're pulling you back.
Yeah.
So, Georgie, do you want to keep this gift or give it to Vaughn?
I mean, Vaughn is 40, but I think I want to keep it.
Yeah.
Yes.
All right, Vaughn's not doing too great this morning.
I hope you get the same judgmental sounds when they're trying to bend you,
but you're not very bendy at the end.
Where they're like, just relax.
And you're like, I am relaxed.
I always think they're going to snap your neck, like in the movies.
And then you die.
And then you die, yeah.
What have you done to someone that you think someone's gonna pay
a Thai masseuse to break your
neck? I don't know where the spies are.
No, we don't know.
Why would a spy be after you, is what I'm saying.
What have you done? I don't know what I've
stumbled across.
Taylor, good morning. You get the last present
at 8 o'clock. Good morning.
Alright.
I thought it was a MacBook.
It's a frame photo.
I mean, this is an absolute look.
Lovely.
This is my cardboard cutout
from Have You Been Paying Attention
being hugged from behind
by newsreader Simon Dallow.
And a picture of that in a frame.
This would actually look nice
in any house, Taylor.
It would.
What I've always wanted.
Oh, I'm sure.
Are you going to take this? No, I've only been having Oh, I'm sure. Are you going to take this?
No, Vaughn, you can have it.
Happy birthday.
Oh, thank you.
It's a beautiful photo.
Oh, that was a few kgs ago.
Yeah, look at the bloody trim there, mate.
Well, we'll get that photo online.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Oh, it's going on my pile.
All right, next on the show, it's my pick for Flashback Friday,
a song that I just cannot believe is 10 years old.
Wow.
I don't know what you've picked.
He should have gone with something from 1982 to celebrate the vintage.
He tried this morning.
I did look at your birth year.
It was a horrible year for music.
I'm surprised your parents even made love to music.
No, they wouldn't have.
No, no, they would have made love to talkback radio.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
ZM's Add to Cart.
Well, Add to Cart back again today.
A whole bunch of items in our virtual shopping cart.
We tell you the items at 8 o'clock, 11, 2 and 4.

That's the name his mother gave him.
That's Clint.
We've all been, haven't we?
Yeah, so it will be Clint's turn.
And so the first item in the Add to Cart today.
It is a Philips Air Fryer Essential Compact.
It's a fancy one.
I was just asking you yesterday if you still use your air fryer.
We actually used it last night.
Because I said... Why don't you whip up?
Some kumara fries.
Because, yeah, it's really massive, ours.
Yeah.
Well, this is famously compact. Yeah, it looks nice. fries because, yeah, it's really massive ours. Yeah. Well, this is
famously compact. Yeah, looks nice.
Alright, well, jot that down. The next item
is coming up at 11 o'clock.
Friday
Flashback
Well, it's a Friday tradition to
pick a song. It's got to be at least 10 years old
and initially, I thought because it's
your birthday, we're giving more of Vaughan's birthday
presents away soon on the show,
but I thought it would be nice maybe to dip back to your birth year, 1982.
1982.
Terrible year for music.
Hayley will back me up on this.
Yeah, you did really think hard about Olivia Newton-John's Let's Get Physical.
But it's not as upbeat as you remember.
No.
It's sort of like...
We listened.
It's a bit of a ditty.
And then I thought maybe the year of your conception.
A better year for your music, but nah.
Again, you looked at Betty Davis' eyes.
I did, but...
Then you thought about the year that you guys first were on air together.
But I was like, that's not what we're celebrating.
That can be for our next anniversary.
So I've just gone back 10 years.
And when I look back at the biggest songs 10 years ago,
they don't seem that old.
That's the danger of playing a 10-year-old song now.
It feels like just like last year.
Now, this was the third biggest song in New Zealand in the year 2012.
One of the biggest songs all over the world for the year.
This song topped the Hot 100 airplay list in America.
It did it for seven weeks,
which is a long time for a song to be number one in America.
It was the first song to do this since Destiny's Child Survivor.
So catchy, catchy.
Featuring Janelle Monáe.
Oh yes, I know what it is now.
Fun. Janelle Monáe, We Are Young, I know what it is, yeah. Fun.
Janelle Monáe, We Are Young.
It's your Friday flashback.
Sit in.
I need to get my story straight.
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State.
My lover, she's waiting for me just across the bar.
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses.
Asking about a scar.
And I know I gave it to you months ago i know you're trying to
forget but between the drinks and subtle things the holes in my apologies you know i'm trying
hard to take it back so if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down. I'll carry you home.
Tonight, we are young.
So let's set the world on fire.
We can burn brighter than the sun. We are young.
So I set the world on fire.
We can burn brighter than the sun.
No, I know it that I'm not All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise it up
Cause I found someone to carry me home.
Tonight, we are young.
So let's set the world on fire.
We can come brighter than the sun.
Tonight. Brighter than the sun Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can go brighter than the sun
Carry me, ride into the night
Just carry me, ride into the night
Carry me, the moon is on my tide
I have no reason for all this
So someone come and bury me
All tonight
He just never died
But I can hear his voice
So someone come and bury me
All night
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So I set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
It's fun.
Janelle Monáe, We Are Young is your Friday flashback today.
Third biggest song in the country, 2012.
Well, you've made somebody cry.
Why?
We're taking our 18-year-old daughter to university today
and this song has made me cry.
Oh, I bet.
Oh.
I just get a little shiver at the idea of that.
And I don't want kids.
But that's still emotional for you. It's very emotional
for you. I don't want to tell you what I got
up to at university. It's not going to help.
Certainly you think you're crying now.
It won't help. You think you're upset now.
Wait till they're boozed on the news
when there's a couch on fire.
Feedback on the song. Not a fan of the
song. Didn't like it then because you thrashed it
too much on the radio. Oh, it's my
fault, is it? Your fault. You! And I feel like we've only
just stopped hearing it.
But I still love you, Fletch, they say.
Oh, that was aimed at you. Yeah.
Oh, wow. Good era, lame song.
Someone says shut the front door.
There's no way this can be 10 years old. Yeah, it is.
It's a banger. I'm soothing
my side part and checking my eyeliner for this one.
Yeah. Not emo.
No, but was it?
Are they getting emo?
I think they're more of the post-emo era.
Well, and also a great thing to come out of that band was the Bleachers.
Yeah, Jack Antonoff's Bleachers.
Yeah.
Great band.
Anyway.
Bloody good.
Good.
I reckon it was good.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
There's been a study that looked at what couples fought about the most in 2021.
And it turns out it's mishearing, miscommunication.
They said more than half of over 40s listed a lack of listening
as a cause of disagreements in their relationship.
Three out of five of them, 58%, said they'd had an argument with their partner
due to mishearing in the last month. Now, mishearing is hard because it's like, did
you mishear me or have you misconstrued me or have you decided?
Or have you chosen not to hear me?
Or are you gaslighting me? You know?
Yeah. Would there be much mishearing that leads to any arguments in your...
No, I don't think so.
They're calling it mishearing, but it's like failing to listen,
not listening.
Yeah.
We don't argue about it, but sometimes I just don't reply.
I hear something and I'm just like,
I'm just going to let that sit for a bit
because I feel like it will ferment in the silence
and they'll realise, no.
That drives me nuts.
That's what Aaron does.
And I'll be like, I'll literally say, are you listening?
Or you're not listening?
Or did you hear me?
Does he do this?
No, he recites back.
And I'm like, but why?
You didn't acknowledge it.
So how am I supposed to know?
You have to acknowledge.
Just say, yes, babe.
Always know.
I don't always know why I do it, but I'm always glad I do. But if you haven't replied, I'll be like, babe. Always know. I don't always know why I do it, but I'm always glad I do.
But if you haven't replied, I'll be like, yeah.
But if you do reply or acknowledge, isn't that like saying yes
when they might not want to say yes?
Exactly.
No, but they can engage in a counter argument if they want.
Or sometimes I need them.
Because Aaron, I'll go, I don't think you're listening.
And you go, you said that and you recite it back.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
You recite it back, word for word what I've said.
And I'm like, it's not a test.
I'm wanting you to engage in this conversation,
especially because two thirds of those surveyed have said that communication
is in the top three of the most important aspects of their relationship.
Okay.
So if you're a bad listener, well, you're just not freaking acknowledging me.
It's good fun.
I think it's a bit of power.
It's a bit of power.
Oh, it is power.
It is power.
So we thought this morning on the back of this study.
Also, you've already decided what our answer, if it's sort of like in a question form,
you've already decided what the answer, if it's sort of like in a question form, you've already decided what the answer should be.
So I'm imagining... No, no, but it's not even
when I'm... I'm not trying to
say something argumentative
or something. I'll go, this is what we're doing.
We need to do this, this, this. And I've
got that person coming on.
Aaron,
are you listening? Yep, you just said
it.
And then it's all gone.
We're always listening.
A young, fresh,
I used to be cool
and now I'm 32 going,
are you listening?
Did you hear me?
Are you hearing me, Aaron?
And spoiler alert,
90% of the time,
we know exactly what we did wrong.
We're like, what?
We already knew.
So we want to ask this morning,
if it's not, you know,
mishearing,
what are the biggest things you always fight about in your relationship?, if it's not, you know, Mishearing. Mishearing.
What are the biggest things you always fight about in your relationship?
And whether it's little things.
Yeah, the one thing that always goes like, oh, wait, that's it.
And now I'm going to argue.
Yeah.
Like it could be, I mean, we talked about this a little bit a while ago, but like, you know, maybe you treat your house like a flat sometimes
and you leave the toilet roll on the floor as if we were 19 years old in Otago University,
not in our 40s in an advanced relationship.
There's a lot of personal buy-in here, Sproul.
There's a lot of personal buy-in.
I'm hot. I'm hot.
He leaves the toilet roll on the floor.
Sometimes.
Wow. Okay.
He does nice things. Maybe it's the toilet roll on the floor. Sometimes. Wow. Okay. He does nice things.
Maybe it's the toilet roll on the floor.
What do you always argue about those little things that set you off?
Give us a call.
0800 DALES at M.
You can text as well, 9696.
And then after that, we're going to open more of Vaughan's birthday presents.
So stand by to win.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A study has revealed that mishearing,
aka not fricking listening,
is the number one cause for arguments of 2021.
So we want to know, in your relationship,
what are the little arguments that you always have?
You've got to think, in 2021,
all we did was spend time together talking.
Yeah.
We were locked inside for a lot of it. Make or break for a lot of couples, in 2021, all we did was spend time together talking. Yeah. We were locked inside for
a lot of it. Make or break for a lot of couples,
wasn't it? It really was. Divorces were up.
Requirements for couples
counselling were up. Anyway, we wanted to ask
you, what did you argue about?
Some text messages.
When my wife reaches over the open
dishwasher to throw things in the sink.
So rather than putting them
in the dishwasher, she's literally reaching over the thing where she could just be like,
plonk, in the sink.
The sink is, no, it is not the holding pen for your dirty dishes.
We have arguments about the length of time spent on the toilet.
Apparently it would take too long, but you've got to love your alone time.
You've got to take your time.
Who cares how long someone's in the...
But if you've got kids and you like going and you're taking an hour and a half long poo with the door locked.
Yeah, you'll get it.
I'm not playing games.
You're getting out of some responsibilities.
My boyfriend of 10 years doesn't flush number ones.
Drives me nuts.
Did he grow up on a low water system house or something?
Yeah, if it's yellow, let it mellow.
Yeah.
One of those houses.
Or was his urinating and flushing formative years spent in Christchurch just after the earthquake
where it wasn't to be flushed if it was number ones?
When men do number ones,
do they use toilet paper?
If there's a little dab, have a little dab
or give it a shake.
Sometimes a shake
still needs a dab.
But you don't want to leave a bit of toilet paper
on there. No. That's never happened to me.
Like when you dab a bit on like a cut when you're shaving. Oh, you don't want to leave a bit of toilet paper on there. No. That's never happened to me. Like when you dab a bit on like a cut when you're shaving.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, you don't want to try a crusty toilet paper down there
next time you open it up.
Ingrid, what's the argument that you always have
with your partner at home?
Basically, he doesn't believe he needs to put the head
of the toilet seat down and flush it.
Like he thinks it... He's a monster. Yeah, he thinks he's going to waste a head of the toilet seat down and flush it. Like he thinks it...
Yeah, he thinks he's going to waste a lot of water,
so he just leaves it there.
But there's no way he's doing it.
It's because he's lazy.
Yeah, I know.
I don't want to waste the water.
What does he get?
So eco-warrior?
Yeah.
So he doesn't flush number ones either.
I know.
And sometimes I even need to get him to wash his hands.
Oh, he's a yucky, he's a grubby little troll.
You sound like, yeah, your mum.
You're telling him off.
I know, right?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Good luck with that one.
Good luck with that one.
Some more messages in.
My pet peeve, and it starts arguments,
is when my husband interrupts what I'm talking about.
So he obviously thinks what he's got to say is more important and then never asks me to continue what I'm saying when he's done.
It was probably a shit yarn.
Yeah, you need to get a bit of yarns to be honest.
And that can go either way, husband or wife.
Yeah.
Sometimes everyone knows friends that are partners where the boring one gets interrupted by the lively one and everyone's happy that it's happened.
Oh yeah, they're like, thank you for one.
Yeah.
Natasha,
what are the arguments in your house always about?
Oh, hi guys.
First time caller, long time listener.
Yay!
Welcome, welcome.
So my partner,
he'll like brush his teeth and he'll get like toothpaste all over his mouth
and then he'll go and wipe it on my
towels. Oh no, wash! Wash, get a little handful of water, wash the I'll get like toothpaste all over his mouth. And then he'll go and wipe it on my towel. No.
Oh, no.
Wash.
Wash. Get a little handful of water.
Wash the face.
Monster.
I know.
That's what I tell him.
You don't want that because if you've got a minty towel and then you're drying and you're
getting drying your bits and stuff.
You've got minty bits.
Yeah, you've got minty bits.
I'll go and wipe my face.
Yeah.
I wasn't going to wipe my face, but yeah, your face will also hurt.
Or the air downstairs starts tingling.
Yeah, no, no.
No, no. Get him a flannel and tell himstairs starts tingling. Yeah, no, no. No, no.
Get him a flannel and tell him to wet his mouth.
Yeah, good idea.
Right.
Does he do this every day, though?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, what a monster.
What an absolute monster.
I know.
I can't deal.
Natasha, thank you.
Messages, more messages.
We always fight about our poor environmental capability.
So that means that, like, for example, I like dark and quiet,
and he likes light and bright.
Oh, okay.
So they find it hard to balance their one's a vampire
and one's a unicorn sort of situation.
She needs an eye mask, you know?
Yeah, that's true.
She could do that.
Yeah.
And he needs a head torch.
I fight him about using my towel.
Get another towel. We share towels.
Yeah. Do you? I'll just use it.
We've got two towels, but there's no specific person.
Yeah, we're the same. You just go for the driest towel.
It's the same looking towel.
Yeah. He always forgets to take a towel
to the bathroom, uses mine, and then leaves
it very, very wet, and then doesn't
get me a new towel. Oh, no, no.
If there's only one towel, you've got to get
a towel. Monster. no, no. Oh, no. If there's only one towel, you've got to get a towel. Yeah.
Lots of people arguing about things that, you know,
in the scheme of things, pretty small,
but you've got to argue about something, don't you?
It's better arguing, for example, about when he leaves.
Oh, the only thing we argue about is I like to reuse my drinking glass,
so I leave them on the bench.
And as soon as she has a dirty piece of cutlery,
they are magnetically drawn to my one drinking glass
so they pop the thing and I'm like,
don't do that, I'm going to reuse that glass.
Better to be fighting about that
rather than the time he had sex with someone at work.
Yeah.
For example.
For example.
That would be slightly worse to argue about.
She can't stack the dishwasher properly, drives me nuts.
She never played Tetris growing up.
I literally restack it every time
and she'll stand there growling me for restacking it. And I said, well, if you do it properly in
the first place, I wouldn't need to restack it. And then that's the whole argument.
Oh, yeah, it sets it off.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day is from
ISRO
I-S-R-O
It's an acronym
Indian Space Research Organization
Okay
ISRO ISRO ISRO ISRO That's an acronym. Yeah. Indian Space Research Organisation. Okay.
ICER.
ICER.
ICER.
ICER.
Today's Fact of the Day is about one of their ventures into launching in 1981 the first communication satellite
of the Indian space race.
It was called Apple.
And today's Fact of the day is to get that groundbreaking technology
out to the launch pad in 1981,
they towed it on a trailer behind a bullock.
Wow.
Yeah.
So they launched it from the Guyana Space Station, Space Centre.
So that's near, it's a French,
we've talked about this country before,
how technically it is France.
Yeah, right.
If you're looking at a map of France and there's ever like a little thing off to the side
and you're like, what's that?
That's Guyana.
Yeah.
Right.
So they launched it there close to the equator, but they got there
and then the French Space Centre were like, how are you getting it out there?
And they're like, don't you have a buggy?
A buggy, a trailer, a tractor?
And they're like, no.
Oh.
The thing we've got specifically designed to tow out our rocket,
it can't tow out your rocket.
And they're like.
Sorry, Marjorie was supposed to organise that with you guys last Friday.
Oversight.
Jeepers.
Are there any locals?
Well, there's old Trev down the road.
He's got a bullock and a trailer.
Will it fit on there? Probably. So, got a Bullock and a trailer. Will it fit on there?
Probably.
So, yeah, there's even a picture.
Look, this is the absolutely – oh, that's us.
That's Vane.
That's a live stream.
Oh, wow.
That's the Bullock towing out that groundbreaking piece of technology,
which was the most advanced thing that the ISRO had ever launched at time,
worth millions of dollars,
a huge portion of their budget.
Being towed by an animal.
Being towed by a bullock on a trailer.
On a rickety trailer.
A rickety ass trailer.
That trailer's got two wheels and nothing else to it.
You better bend in the knee when you take that off there
because it's a high trailer too.
You don't want that sliding off the trailer and dropping.
So today's fact of the day is the Indian Space Research Organisation
launched a satellite in 1981 after they towed it to the launch platform
on a trailer behind a bullock.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

That's for sure.
It was nice.
All right, Vaughan.
I'm going to pick the big, heavy one now.

All right.
It's a big one.
Let's open that.
Oh.
It's another one from our friends at Akoya.

You lost your first one.
I did.
Does.
Into the Akoya candles.
Oh, I didn't get my partner Valentine's.
Oh, come on, Daz.
To be honest, you sung, you hip-hipped, you've got a great sound to you.
I love your vibe.
I'll check your vibe and it's all good by me.
I'd be happy for you to take this.
Oh, thank you, brother.
Oh, there's so much love, isn't there?
And say when it arrives that you ordered it,
but it just took a little while to arrive.
I am so sorry.
This is late.
Courier delays at the moment.
Sashen, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
Sashen, you're good.
Thank you, Sashen.
All right.
You've got a little present there, Vaughn.
Open that up.
Okay.
This is voucher size.
Voucher size.
A 12-month Neon subscription.
All thanks to Neon.
That's good.
That's a good streaming service.
Oh, man.
Oh, Vaughn, I'm sure you've got all these sort of subscriptions already.
My kids will hate me if I don't get the subscription.
No, Sasha, I do.
I do.
I do.
I have it.
It's all yours.
I mean, I could have done with a year free, but nah, sure, you take it.
I'm a bit like you, Vaughn.
I'm a bit of a tight ass.
I don't even have Netflix or anything.
So I think I'm going to have to. We wouldn't bloody need it, mate.
You got neon now.
I've got neon, mate.
I'll take the neon.
Awesome.
Congratulations.
All right.
One more present.
How many have we got left?
We've got one here.
Two more locks.
And then we're going to finish off with the last present.
We've got eight left.
We're going to have to really tear into them.
Okay.
Joining us now, Joe.
Good morning, Joe.
Good morning.
Happy birthday, Vaughan.
Thanks, Jo.
All right, you have won...
An AJ Hackett Harbour Bridge Bungee.
I've done this, Jo, so I'm happy.
I'm okay if you take this.
A hell of an experience.
Just walking underneath the Harbour Bridge.
I did it last year.
Same thing.
The walk itself is worth it.
Huge fan of civil engineering.
Yes, please.
I'll take it.
You can take it.
Okay. I like that there was no mucking around there. You're like, I'm taking it. I'm worth it. Huge fan of civil engineering. Yes, please, I'll take it. I'll take it. I like that there
was no mucking around there. You're like, I'm taking it.
I'm taking it. She's not even going to pretend
that she called for any other purpose.
Alright, the rest of the
presents for Vaughan are going to open before
nine o'clock, so keep listening if you want to get through to
win. This is all fun and games, but something
terrible has happened to me.
I'll tell you next. It's atrocious.
Alright, ZM.
Play. ZM's Fletcious. All right, ZM. Guys, I've got terrible news.
Okay.
The chimney, my new chimney, has a scratch.
Did you back out into a pole?
No, I didn't, ma'am.
Because I have great visibility on the chimney, by the way.
You know, when you chuck your head around, you can see a lot.
You've got a hell of a turn on you as well.
Oh, yeah, on a dime, mate.
Just lock it in.
Short wheelbase, get right around.
I have been in your car several times when you've hit things.
Like, several.
Yeah, but that was the Honda.
You love taps.
I've been there when you've backed into a bollard.
I've seen you scrape a traffic island.
Was that somebody's fault?
No, that was that woman that tried to pass us between us and a traffic island,
and she scraped the car.
And then got out and yelled at me.
I was like, well.
What a witch.
I am so sorry, but you've broken the law.
Yeah.
No, this scratch, from what I can deduce,
so it looks like someone sat there shopping
on the bonnet of the Jimny
and then opened their boot
and then dragged the shopping off. And it's like a screw off the front of the bonnet. Is their boot and then dragged the shopping off.
It's like a screw off
the front of the bonnet.
I think it was when I was at the mall.
Oh, that's terrible.
When did you notice it?
After the mall.
After the mall is when I noticed it.
I was giving the car a clean.
Didn't happen at home?
I don't know what. Nah, because no one would have sat.
It's not like you'd never sit something on the
bonnet of the car at home. There's no place where it parks
that would be a thing. I know you're a big believer
in karma, but have you
ever opened your car door or
ran a trolley into a car and then
left it? I was once
in a trolley when I had a car.
And did you
own up to it?
Might have been it.
That might definitely have been it. But I feel like my cars
previously have been dinged
in car parks
that are more than made up
for that karma.
I can't believe someone's used
your bonnet as a little table
for themselves.
And then rather than
a clean lift,
a drink.
I don't even like it
when I see people leaning
on my car.
You know,
like when you're waiting
for something outside
or shopping or something
and you lean on a car.
No, but I'll make that call
depending on am I wearing jeans or jorts
because I don't want the things.
Oh, yeah.
But say, for example,

Right.
Yeah, but not a nice car.
Well, this is a nice car.
Or if it was a company car
and it wasn't their car, I'd lean on it.
Wow.
No, I never would.
You wouldn't lean on any car.
No, it's weird because if I was walking towards my car and people were leaning on it,
I'd be like, you know, get the little dook-dook.
Hey, get out of here.
Crazy kids.
Yeah, but it's got a little, I don't know, I'm going to have to Google if you can get rid of those.

You got a man in your life Leanne? You like to rock a sort of a strong masculine scent?
I'm married
to a dirty farmer, so he could probably do
with something nice. The cows won't
appreciate it, though. Or his bloody
weekly trip into PGG
rights, and they're not going to know what to do with him.
He's going to walk through a new man.
No, but you don't want him going into town for the
weekly supplies and hooking into
some hot young thing who likes a sniff of him now.
He wants this one, Leanne.
He's fighting for it.
He does, doesn't he?
All right, Leanne.
Oh, look, I feel bad for him.
You go on.
You have it.
What?
Are you sure, Leanne?
If you really want it, yeah.
Oh, don't do that to me.
Take it.
What's your partner's name?
Hamish.

You can stinky old Hamish. You can stink your old Hamish.
You can give this to Hamish if you want.
If you want?
Honestly, honestly, honestly.
I'm Leanne.
Leanne, follow your heart.
Go on, Leanne.
What do you want?
What do you want to do, Leanne?
I tell you what.
I'll buy him a kilo of lollies from the warehouse,
and he'll be happy with that.
So you keep it, Vaughn.
See, she doesn't want Hamish smelling good
when he goes to town.
He's getting in there in the Mazda BT50
and he's smelling like a dream.

Open it up. Open it up. It looks like
a big, beautiful bathrobe,

Hello. Renee, do you... Oh, yeah, it's got a V on it. Hello.
Renee, do you... Oh, yeah, something sexy and it's got a V on it.
Renee, do you know anyone in your life that starts with the V?
Pardon?
Do you have anyone in your life that has the name starting with V?
No, I don't, actually.
I mean, you wouldn't mind a bathrobe.
I mean, you can unpick it.
You know, you could totally unpick it.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I could sit there and just take it off.
That's okay. You'd ruin the robe. Oh, it looks lush, yeah. I think I could sit there and just take it off. That's okay.
You'd ruin the robe.
Oh, it looks lush, babe.

It's nice.
It's comfy.
I've got it on.
Renee, do you want to keep the Vaughan Smith embossed V bathrobe
or would you like to gift it to Vaughan?
Oh, that's a hard one because, you know, I'm eight months pregnant.
So do I keep it for myself and be all snuggly?
Oh, yes.
Yeah, it went all right.
You'd be so comfortable with bring on early labour.
That's all.
I'm not the dick.
I mean, if your child is going to have a name that starts with V,
if that's already on the cards, man.
That could change.
Renee, what are you choosing?
Oh, look, I'll be nice for when you can keep it.
Yeah, he's already wearing it, though.

All right, our last gift this morning.
Zorana, good morning.
Morning.
Happy birthday, Vaughn.
Hi, Zorana.
Now, this, how would you describe this?
It feels exactly like the Simon Dello photo frame.
I think it's a photo frame.
You think it's a photo frame?
Now, before you open that,
I have an audio accompaniment.
Yeah, okay.
It's the most impossible word
in the English language.
The audio accompaniment.
Accompaniment.
Accompaniment.
Yeah, with that.
Yeah, here we go.
G'day, Vaud, mate.
The big four zero.
Congratulations on surviving this far.
I know you're a big fan
of yours truly, David Seymour.
And I ask,
how can I give you
just a little piece of myself
that you can maybe
keep on your bedside table
to remember me by
before you nod off
to sleep each night.
I hope you enjoy the present.
Wow, Zora.
You can have that.
It is a signed David Seymour framed photo.
A framed photo.
You're a big fan there.
Girly looking.
Good, Zorana.
You an act voter?
So I am not going to keep it, so you can have it for me.
Are you sure, Zorana?
Very kind.
It'll fetch a hefty price on Trade Me.
That's really where I sit politically.
There's also a video there.
Wow.
He'll turn up to anything, won't he?
I will.
Good sport, though.
Good sport.
