Speaking of rich and smooth, happy birthday, Fletch. I'm a little bit subly in places. Yeah. Well, you'll find out as you listen to the podcast, you're not as rich as you could have been today. No, I know. Absolutely. Spoiler alert. A lot of fun had. Robbed. And if you're a regular listener to the podcast, you're not as rich as you could have been today. No, I know. Absolutely. Spoiler alert.

A lot of fun had. Robbed. And if you're a regular listener to the podcast, you might have picked up on a word Fletch says, all right. He says a lot. Yeah, I do. It's my segue.

It's my pivot. It's my pivot. Yeah. We're off for a boozy lunch, aren't we now? Yeah, but now we have suggested. It's nine o'clock. We're going to have some time before that. No, but we've suggested in order to not, you know,

because no one wants to be lunchtime drunk as last time. So we thought maybe we'll go line the tummy and go get a scroll from the Fed. But I reckon we should also have a cocktail. They do good cocktails. A breakfast cocktail? I don't know. A cocktail at breakfast time. Yeah, right.

Okay. If it seems fair. They do a lime, a key lime pie cocktail. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm seems fair. They do a key lime pie cocktail. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm going to buy you one because I know you've got no money anymore. Thank you. For your birthday.

Thank you. Then we're going out for lunch with some of your friends. Yeah, we are. It's going to be fun. Sade Ditched. I'm excited, yes. Yeah, Sade's out because there's another birthday. Well, it was August's birthday a little while ago, but she's having the party.

So tonight, I would appreciate thoughts and prayers. Yep. I'm going to be in the house with four eight-year-olds who are having a sleepover in little tents. Today? You're coming home from a boozy lunch to kids in your house. I'm really restricting my boozy lunch because I've got to drive home. But I knew

when August was due near my birthday, this would cause problems. It annoys you, eh? When you were conceiving, you should have given a month buffer. Look, I was just stoked to be having sex. Oh, I can't say it. You should have been on a sex ban. A ban.

You're going to get pregnant. Nine months out. Just check the womb bookings on Airbnb, Shelley, and see when it's open. It's great news. My fertility winds up perfectly with a $100,000 cash giveaway promo. Fantastic. We'll make that happen for you. That's some great news.

Polio is back. Happy birthday, Fletch. Hope you don't get polio. Or monkey pox. Happy birthday, Fletch. Thank you. Thank you, Hayley. You were obviously so excited for my birthday,

that you slept in in anticipation for our celebrations today. Literally, my phone, because Vaughan has picked me up this morning. We live close and we're going out today. And so I don't want to have my car in town. And I woke up to the sound of just... And my brain woke up from a dream about Madeline Sami. Right. And was like, well, it's Vaughan because I'm late.

And I was. because I'm late. And I was. But I'm here. I have got to commend, I have never seen a woman get ready and out the gate from the time that I was like, hey. And she's like, ah! Hung up.

I was like, light came on. Light came on. Three minutes? Oh, wow. Tops. I did lay out my outfit, but I am wearing my party outfit just all day. Right. I don't have a set of freshies, so these undies are going to last me from 5.30am till maybe 5.30am. You probably don't buy your undies from the warehouse, but I'll just go to the warehouse if I need a fresh drink.

I think I'm alright. Buy on the fly, baby. Or farmers, if they're having a jockey special. Yeah, right. Or baby. Treat yourself. So I would say

80% of my current undies inventory was bought in a panic. Like, I'm somewhere and I don't have undies. You are so... I don't think panic undies stand the test of time. I have zero panic undies.

They're good undies. No, no, no, they're good undies. They're of time. I have zero panic undies. They're good undies. They're like farmer's jockeys undies. When you go cheap and you just buy something, that's just maybe for that time, and then you'll be like, it's cutting me in half. My balls have fallen off. When it's an emergency, you don't wait for a sale, so sometimes you're paying like 30 bucks.

A fortune. Nothing beats when that sweet time of a panic buy intersects with a sale. It's a Venn diagram of absolute sweetness. 50% off. Yeah. But happy birthday.

Thank you. Now we are going to do some light celebrations today. Yeah, and it's nothing wacky radio, isn't it? No, no, no. It's not wacky.

It's not wacky. I'm not in the mood for that. It's not wacky and the listeners are in the mood for that. It's not wacky and the listeners are in on it. If people are listening now, because I don't feel there's enough reward

throughout the show for people who have been listening since six. Yeah. This is a stupid time to be awake. A stupid time. But also,

people are off to work. They might not be listening later. Yeah, but now they will. They can play now. Right. They can play with us now. Right. And then it also gives people a chance later on to play.

That's right. And if they sort of have to leave their space where the radio plays, they can find us on iHeartRadio and listen to us anywhere, anytime. Of course, yeah. What a fantastic app. Yeah, so we're going to get you to trigger off something that's going to give you a few clues about what we're going to do today. The phrase that pays.

The phrase that pays. The phrase that pays. The phrase that pays. The phrase that pays. Okay, how does this work? Well, the phrase that pays, we've noticed that, in fact, you just did it. Right when I say right. Right. Alright.

I always say right. Alright. Well, today you might want to think about it a little bit. Because every time you say alright... I'm not going to say it then. Yeah, but how long... Money comes off a grand total

to go towards your celebration birthday lunch. Which Ross Boss has given budget to. Oh, but I say it so much. I know. No, I believe we're starting the budget for today's birthday lunch. We're starting at $500. Oh, wow. say it so much. I know. No, I believe we're starting the budget for today's birthday lunch.

We're starting at $500. Oh, wow. I think that will absolutely clear the bill. Do you know what? $500, I still don't think he'd pay for everybody else. Absolutely not. I'll take the cash out. I'll get the extra cash.

He'll cash out. He'll pay for his measly 90 and then go, here you go. Yeah. The rest of it. So every time that you say, all right, $50 will come off that. Right. And potentially go to a caller.

$50? Yeah, man. You've only got 10 times. Wait, can I, and it's an indication of how often you say, all right, there's this. All right,

next on the show. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. 14 past six. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right Alright, alright, alright Alright, alright, alright 14 past 6

Alright, alright, alright Alright, alright, alright Tasha, thank you for your unpopular opinions Alright, alright, alright Alright, the top 6 is next on the show Alright, alright, alright I'm going to be bankrupt You're going to end up owing us money

There's no money Yeah, that's the other thing When it gets to zero you have to start dipping into your own Right Kiwi saver, which I know has been taken a hammer out of you. What's another few fifties? Wait, did you just say all right? No.

So when you... We're listening. Did I? If we hear it, I'll ding. Yeah, okay, right. But there'll be times where we miss it because we'll be in the flow of conversation. So if the listener hears it, they have to call 0800-DIALS-AT-M

and they get $50. The first one through at the time. And then we get $50 less for my birthday lunch. Correct. Yeah. Oh, my God. Where is the bell? What is another word to say?

We'll find out. I think Hayley cleaned it up in one of her bloody... Oh, no. Because this place gets treated like an absolute teenage boy's bedroom sometimes. Brie, Clint. I mean, there's a lot less playing with yourself in here. I hope there is. How would we know?

I mean, we don't know what the night show does, do we? We truly don't. He doesn't know what to say. What is another word when you guys are wiring on and I need to change direction? I would normally say that word, but I would just say... Maybe like, that'll do. That'll do.

Next on the show. That'll do. I reckon the show. That'll do. I reckon this is going to have some hard cushions. Okay. Next on the show. Yeah. But if it's all right, and you hear it, callers. Yeah.

Okay. I'll wait until you dial ZM. Next on the show. God, there's some people who will be running for the hills today. The police are on a hunt for some of our protesters. And we've had a little looky at them, haven't we? Yeah, they've released the photos. We'll get to that next. Now I'm really self-conscious

about what I say. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, police have released photos of some of the Wellington Parliament protesters that they haven't been able to track down. They've got lots of them, eh?

Yeah. How many did they have? Earlier in the week they said how many arrests and stuff had been made from it. There's been a lot. Yeah. They were coming. They numbered the photos, didn't they? There was like a 90 in there.

Yeah. Yeah. So they are combing through. They have photos and videos 15 terabytes. So you imagine like when you download, if you downloaded a TV show, like no one's doing that anymore

but back in the day you'd download a TV show and like what, a 40 minute episode would be 300 megabytes? Yeah of low quality stuff. Of yeah. Oh. And like how many, what's a photo on your phone now? Oh, like three megs for a pretty good one. Like it is a lot of footage and police have been combing through that.

It's all the live streams that the protesters are doing themselves as well. Yeah. Even the ones that were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, like don't, no, no, no. No fires, no fires. But the fires and everything would be lit and thrown and everything. I remember watching the live streams when they started the fire and you could see everybody starting the fire. Yes.

But there are some that have been numbered and that they need to contact. And there's no mistake in these people. If you knew these people, you would identify them straight away. They're not like blurry security footage photos. Now you sent the photos to the group chat last night Vaughn. Yeah. And Hayley, you

couldn't help but notice number 46. We're going to talk about number 46. With the piercing blue eyes. He looks like a mixture of like Steph Curry from the Golden State Warriors. And like do you remember there was that guy, what was his name?

Jeremy Meeks. Oh, the hot, the tattooed felon. He like made headlines. He was this hot tattooed felon. And then he ended up getting like a Hugo Boss contract. And now he's a very, very rich model in America. This guy, number 46. Now he's got a hood on and he's got a cap underneath

and like a scarf or something. Yeah. My God, there's no denying those eyes. Now he's got a hood on and he's got a cap underneath And like a scarf or something Yeah I think number 46 might be benefiting from what I call Snowboarding Snowboarding points It's where you can't see much but what you can see looks alright Top notch A bit like now when we're all wearing masks I don't know, he looks like he's got a good physique

I can see that physique You're back in it? Might have a swastika tattoo. Who knows? The body's covered, you know. That's kind of badass though, you know. Yeah, how bad do you like your badasses? Like war criminal badasses?

Yeah. Genocide badasses? Yeah. If you head on to the North Shore Rodney and West Auckland Police page and you see these photos and you see number 46 and you're like, I know him. He's my cousin.

Feel free to get in touch. feel free to get in touch. Feel free to get in touch. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. So the Great New Zealand Wine Census, which I have to say I didn't know was a thing. Well, they didn't knock on my door. Yeah. Like the other census.

I'm absolutely a fan and a consumer. Well, the Great New Zealand Wine Census is out. It looks at so many things like what people pair their wine with, their favourite kind of wines, buying habits. But some of them are sort of wine confessions. Is anybody rocking a red wine and coke? It's yum. It's really yum with a cheap red.

It's yum. It's yum. You're so passionate about that. I am. If you get a really, really cheap red, honestly, red, give it a hit of Coca-Cola. So here's some of the wine confessions. 89% of people bought wine because the label looks stylish. Yeah, we've talked about this before.

They trick you with those little stickers. Like when you actually look at some of those gold or silver stickers, it just says bottle of wine. Yeah, bottle of good as gold wine. Yeah. I always thought that if I didn't work in the entertainment industry,

I would be a wine bottle designer. That's what I would love to do. One of my greatest passions in life. I think a bottle really sells the booze. Yeah,

totally. I'll buy a bottle of wine based completely on the bottle. Same. Until you know the brands you like, you're like, oh, that looks fancy. 81% of people bought it

because it was plastered with shiny medals and awards. Yep. 54% of people Google the price of wine that they were gifted. Always. Do you? Always. I have never done that. There's an app I use called Vivino. We got a bottle of what do you call it? Champagne.

What do you call the bubbly stuff that's not cheap? Champagne, yeah. Champagne. And, yeah, someone was like, that's very nice. I was like, oh, really? And they were like, yeah. Was that when we got a Dom Perignon? Yeah, I think it was a mum.

Mum. Oh, was it a mum? A mum. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I do it. I use this app called Vivino, and you scan, you take a photo of a wine, and it tells you all the stats about it, mum? Okay, yeah. Yeah, I do it. I use this app called Vivino. And you scan, you take a photo of a wine, it tells you all the stats about it,

what people say about it, and how much it costs. Are you wanting to catch your friends out and being tight asses or something? Oh, no. No, I'm just curious sometimes. I'm also curious as to when I should drink it. Am I going to drink it today? Or am I going to save it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for a special occasion. Is this a special one? 16% of people. I'll carry on, but you heard it. Are you kidding me? 16% of people mixed wine with soft drink. That's your Coca-Cola's. 5% of people tried to make wine bubbly in a soda stream.

No, you can't do this. No, you can't. I can imagine a rosé doing that, but it would, it bubbles over. You can't put anything that No, you can't. I can imagine a rosé doing that, but it would, it bubbles over. You can't put anything that's not water in a soda stream. Because when I was making kombucha, I tried to fizzy that up. No, I used to add a little fizzy to my kombucha, but you've got to put such a small amount in.

But then how, you could have been wrong. To use a soda stream, does the nib of the soda stream have to be in the water or just out of the water? I've always done it so the nib has to be just in the water. Why fill it up to the line? Like a coffee fr it so the niv has to be just in the water. Why fill it up to the line? Like a coffee frother. Yeah, it has to be just in.

Just the tip. Just the tip. So if you fill the bottle up with that much of something that's not water, it always overflows. Right. And then you're left with a sticker mess all over the bench unless you're doing it in the sink. Yeah.

Here's my favourite stat. 11% of people warmed up wine in the microwave or the oven. Why did they do something so yucky? So me and Aaron used to do this when we were broke drama school graduates. Yeah. And we bought this stuff called Crimson Rose. I can't remember the brand of it.

It was like bright hot pink. And you'd put it, and we used to put it into a jug and put it in the microwave and have it warm. And it was like sweet toffee wine. Like a mulled wine. Right. Yeah, but nothing about it was mulled. 51% of people add ice

cubes to cool down their wine all the time when I come in while they're waiting. Or does it down as well? Drama student. The phrase that pays. Well, this is Or is it Dan as well? Drama student. Yeah. Well, this is mean. This is mean. 622. This is mean.

Morena, Erica. Morena. Morena, you heard it. You heard it all right. Yes, I did. I had no idea I said this all the time, Erica. The word. Am I allowed to say the word now while we're...

You're sure, in the context of describing it. We're contesting the phrase that pays the alright word. Yeah. It's just how I segue, it's how I throw to the next thing. Well, today you will pay for it. Is there something you would like to say to Fletch, Erica? Happy birthday!

Yeah, it's the least you can do when we're giving you $50 from our lunch budget. Now say something nice about it. Yeah, say something nice about it. Mostly because I know how much he absolutely despises compliments. You'll just hang up on it. Thank you, Erica. Thank you so much.

So, well, we've got $450 left of the lunch budget. You've got $450. Erica walk us away with $50. Just spend it here. All right, the phrase that pays the fire. I'm going to try really hard not to say it.

Yeah, you better because I'm coming out to lunch with you. You don't want to have to pay. We also benefit from this. Our silly little poll is next. Cat or dog people? We're going to fight.

All right, it's next. Oh! Can I have it again? Oh! Can I have it again? Oh! Wow, I'm being punished on my birthday. We literally gave away $50 three minutes ago, and now you're doing it again. And that was... As soon as the word came out of my mouth, I was like... And Blake heard it.

Good morning, Blake. How are we going, Tim? Good. You get $50 from our birthday lunch budget. He's not happy with that. Every time I say the word, all right, I'm allowed to say it now. You're allowed to say it in an explanatory manner. In a what? In an explanatory manner.

You lose $100 every time you try to say explanatory. Explanatory. Congratulations, Blake. All yours. Thanks, mate. Yeah, go. Let's find Hayley's silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly.

Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole. Okie dokie do. It's our silly little pole. Oh, no, he's done again. No, that's my new word instead of the one that starts with A. Okie dokie do.

Are you a cat person or a dog person? 38% of people said I am a cat person. 62% of people said I am a dog. I really thought this would have been 50-50. But I wonder if it's people that want a dog but don't have one and would probably regret having a dog because they're so high maintenance. I reckon lots of people say, I'm a dog person.

I love all dogs but they've never had to do the mahi to actually own a dog. Like crate train and toilet train and put them through puppy daycare and all the likes. And it's registration time of the year. I don't know about the rest of the country

but Auckland, always forget that and then they send you a little reminder that you've got three dogs that need to be registered. Is it expensive? It's like $140 for our two big dogs and $115 for our small dog. Do you know how much my cat costs?

$100 all up at the start. I love a dumped cat. Yeah, they're so cheap. They last forever. My cats cost seven times that just this year at the vet cat. Yeah, they're so cheap. They last forever. My cats cost seven times that just this year at the vet alone. Time to remind her to adopt, not shopped. Sharon says, landlord won't let us have a dog, so I got a cat, and now I'm absolutely converted to cats.

Yeah, they're gorgeous. And they leave you alone. That's the best bit. Yeah. I think kittens beat puppies because kittens are cute and not as much work as puppies. Puppies are a lot of work. Kittens are too, but not as much as puppies.

But then when they get older, I think a dog is more of a companion than a cat who's literally just like the snobby flatmate. I don't know. When Aaron's not home, Rolly makes me feel safer. You know what I mean? Like a kind of a living presence around. I'm always like, oh.

You see, I don't think so. I think my cat would eat me if I died in my apartment. Like within 10 minutes. It could start nibbling. Ria says, when I was little, I got attacked by my pop's cat. It swiped at me when I was patting it, and one of the claws got stuck behind my ear and ripped the back part of my ear. I've hated cats

ever since and I feel they can sense that and we've got a mutual distaste for each other. Aww. They do get your A. Yeah. And Kelly's back. Kelly's back. And Kelly back. And Kelly. Oh, Ankly. Ankly. Oh, Ankly. Ankly. Oh, Ankly. Yeah, yeah.

She's got big ankles. A dog encourages you to be a better person. A cat encourages you to do the opposite. To be a worse person. Yeah. Okay. Kelly says, cat person 100%, but I love my dog more than I love my cat. That might be a specific problem with that actual cat.

Jennifer says, dogs are effing hard work. Cats are self-sufficient, but still love a cuddle. Yeah, man. Catherine, either, but only my own. I do not like other people's pets for some reason. I find them very irritating. And Josh says, cats, dogs love too easily. So I don't trust anything that loves too easily.

Sounds like Josh has been cheated on. He's been hurt. He's been left by a Labrador by the sounds of it yeah Labrador cheated on him with his neighbour yeah never came back

looks over and the neighbour's like got a finger through the fence scratching the Labrador behind the air and the Labrador's just got this guilty look looking back at home okie dokie

cat's thrown through okie dokie next on the show I'm loving this okie dokie do but this is very Next on the show. I'm loving this okie-dokie, dude. But this is very exciting. There's a new project that TVNZ and TikTok are partnering up with or for.

And 660 are very heavily involved in the studio this morning. We've got Chris Mack. Good morning. Yes, hello. Kia ora. That's me. Welcome. You said my name.

Everyone's there. Everyone. Yeah, and so it's TVNZ and streaming on TikTok. Yeah, so it's streaming. I know, it's quite confusing. TVNZ cameramen who we've worked with are going to shit the bed when you ask them to turn their cameras sideways. Oh, they're going to hate it.

They're going to hate it. You wouldn't find a TVNZ cameraman under the age of 60. Nah. Yeah, no, they're not going to enjoy it so much, but I're going to hate it. They're going to hate it. You wouldn't find a TVNZ cameraman under the age of 60. Nah. Yeah, no, they're not going to enjoy it so much, but I'm going to enjoy it. How long are you playing then? We're doing a few songs.

I think everyone's doing a few songs and it's like all in different areas of like New Zealand. Oh, cool. And so we're going to do ours in our studio, at the 660 studio. Wow.

We've got a few little surprises actually. Crazy though, isn't it? We've got a little surprise. Where everybody else is carting around the country, 660 are like, we'll just. Wow. We've got a few little surprises, actually. Crazy, though, isn't it? We've got a little surprise. We're everybody else's partner around the country. 660, like, we'll just be this. We'll pop up the road. We'll just hang out at the studio. Real flex.

Big flex on the other bands. We've got our own studio, so we'll... You guys... You go wherever you want. Is there going to be an audience, like, for everyone's individual performances? I don't know what everyone else is doing. Yeah, right.

I know that there won't really be for us, but, yeah, we've got some special guests who are going to pop up, hang out with us. You can't tell us who. Some artists that we're quite friendly with, who maybe they actually live in Australia, but they're kind of Kiwis and crowded house. I'll just do that.

That's all I'll say. Oh, okay. Good little tease there. Rightio. Right. And of course, 660 Saturday's all I'll say. Oh, okay. Good little tease there. Rightio. Right. And, of course, 660 Saturdays coming up again the end of this. This year is flying. Yeah.

Coterie are going to be opening for us on all our dates here for 660 Saturdays. Wow. Amazing. They're so cool. They're really good friends of ours. We had them opening for us on all our dates here for 60 Saturdays. Wow. Amazing. They're so cool.

and 4th of March in Dunedin. How good that we're live again. I feel like 660 was the band that we all went, like when we got locked down, we're like, we can't go to 660. And then we came out of lockdown, we're like, yay, we can go to 660. Yeah, I certainly felt that way. Yeah, I'm sure you did.

I want to go to 660 more than anyone else. Yeah, I've got a mortgage to pay. So 660, so that's happening at the end of the, because they were kind of more January, February. Yeah. Last times you've done them. Yeah. Can't wait.

Yeah, you're right. So you get a bit of pre-Christmas and you get a bit of post-Christmas. We like to spread it out. Yeah, gotcha. And quite frankly, the stadiums weren't free any other weekend. There it is. Nice. I like this a lot.

Well, that's because Super Rugby starts so early in summer, doesn't it? Yeah, rugby. And credit stuff. Yeah, let's talk about it. Bloody rugby. All right. Well, you can catch it all tomorrow at TVNZ TikTok and on TVNZ as well from 9 o'clock. TVNZ Plus as well.

Well, Ross Boss said, here's some money for a birthday lunch. Yeah. But every time you say, alright. Which apparently I say a lot. Yeah. Without realising it. You lose 50 bucks. It's $50.

Sabrina, good morning. Good morning. You get $50. Oh, thank you, thank you. Off air. You get $50. Oh, thank you. Oh, there you go. Off-air, he called you the teenage witch, so. Yep, standard. You are stealing my birthday money, Sabrina.

I'm sorry, but someone was going to. Yeah, no, you're not wrong. They would have. I didn't realize how much I say this word, which is why I'm using okie-dokie today more. Yeah, and honestly. It's not working for me, is it? I regret that.

It's a little cute. Oh, well done. It is pretty cute. Okie-dokie is pretty cute. Well done. $50 is all yours. What are we, $350 left? $350 in the budget,

and we're in the first hour. Also, when we get to zero, if we get to zero... You have to start paying from your personal account. I'm not paying from my personal account. And we will include screenshots. We'll just do wage deduction.

Oh, right, okay. I don't know if that's legal. Well done, Sabrina. Next on the show, the top six. Yep. How long is this song? You going to give me two songs, Daddy? I'll go.

Daddy, I need two songs, Daddy. Don't call me Daddy. Oh, please, Daddy. Please, Daddy, give me two songs to write in Top 6 because I totally forgot. Okay, you can have two songs. What is the Top 6 about? There's some new Tinder features coming out.

I've got the Top 6 features that Tinder needs. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Hi. Hi. I won't lie to you.

I didn't read the original article. Are you excited because it's my, you've been chatting to Maddie McLean, haven't you? Yes. Yes. Because I just got a badge. You know on Facebook it's like you've been recognised as a top fan of. Yes. I got a badge for being one of Manny McLean's top fans. And he said I have to display it with pride.

And I said I want a real life badge. So I can wear it saying I've been recognised as one of Manny McLean's real biggest fans. Exciting new features for Tinder. There's one called Swipe Party. Oh, it's like an orgy, is it? You get in there and everybody's there. Single people can invite their friends to help them figure out potential matches. So they kind of like come in.

Like a watch party. I know, I'm sure other ones can do it, but I know Disney Plus can as well. You can like sync up the viewing and watch it. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. With other mates. Okay, that's cool. That's a cool little feature.

Some new exploring features anyway. Yep, lots of features. But you've got six. I've got the top six features I think should be added to Tinder. Okay. Number six, a live stream of their car's passenger floor space. Because I feel like that's really indicative of the sort of person that you'll be going. Yeah. I'd still be single. because I feel like that's really indicative of the sort of person that you'll be going, yeah.

I'd still be single. You can tell a lot by a person's four well. That's what they say, hey, like a job interview. You can scrub up for a job interview, but you should walk them to their car and take a peek inside their vehicle because that's the true telling of the sort of shambles you might be about to hire. Imagine if during your job interview they're like, Susan, we're just going to pause this here and go down to your car.

And you're like, why? I need to look at your passenger's wheel. The first time Aaron got into my car, he would have nearly died. It was so bloody. Wine bottles rolling around. See a clink and smash it around. Don't mind the raccoon. Leave the raccoon.

Number five on the list of the top six speeches Tinder needs. If I was on Tinder, I would want to know without asking if they were a yay or nay on coriander. Okay. Because I love coriander. I love coriander in my food. What does it matter

if they don't like it? You're going to be incompatible. Yeah. It's an incompatible thing. You're not going to be able to share dishes. You're not going to be able to make things

with coriander in it. Oh, imagine them making a taco and they don't have coriander on it. Why eat it? Exactly. Well, why be with them? Exactly. Is that what you're saying?

It's just going to be a big problem. Yeah. Number four on the list, semi along the same lines, on the top six features Tinder needs, how they like their steak. Oh, yep. Okay. I couldn't be with a whale, Donna. I couldn't be with a whale.

You couldn't. Watching them. And when they cut through it, it's like. The plate's like slipping across the table. Yeah. And then imagine being in a restaurant and they're like, oh, y'all have the steak. And the it's like... The plate's slipping across the table. Yeah. And then imagine being in a restaurant and they're like, oh, you'll have the steak. And the waiter's like, oh, wonderful. How will you have it?

And they're like, well done. And the waiter's like, get out. And the chef's out the back goes, did someone just say well done? How embarrassing. So embarrassing. I've actually bullied people into having medium rare. Of course you have. Number three on the list of the top six features Tinder needs.

What perfume they use. Oh, okay. You know, you want to know when you turn up if this dude's going to be rocking a Paco Rabanne. Is that right? Yeah. Paco Rabanne, one million. Yeah. That's a real sweet scent.

That's a real sweet scent. What's yours? And you don't want them smelling like your mum? Like, I don't want to go on a date with someone and be met with Marc Jacobs, Daisy, Elizabeth Arden, Red Door, or White Diamonds. Yeah. The Eros one.

What about a J-Lo Glow? My mum doesn't smell like J-Lo Glow. Smells like soap. Does it? Yeah. Not a huge fan. Smells like soap. Smells like straight up soap.

Yeah, it smells like a bar of soap. Oh. That'd be it. You want to know what they smell like before you agree to it. Number two on the list of the top six features

Tinder needs, how they stack their dishwasher. Yeah. Because if you're like thinking long term, if it's just a hookup, you could probably

overlook that. Maybe not. But if it's long term, you want to know that they know what they're doing. And number one on the list of the top six features

Tinder needs, you need to know what they feel in their heart when they see a miniature pony. Because I don't like horses. I'm not a horse guy at all. But when I see a miniature pony, a miniature? A miniature pony.

Miniature. I get a little... in the heart. I think that... I know you love them, don't you? I think one weekend I'm going to get carried away and buy one for the family. Do it and bring it in.

You pretty could bring it in. Yeah, right. We could ride it around the studio. We could ride it around the studio. It's also 10 years today since we blew up our company car, our Nissan S-Cargo R.I.P. That was a great night

with Lily from Big Save. We got OTP with Lily from Big Save. Yeah. But that vehicle was registered as a horse transport, which brought our registration down significantly. But to do it, we had to prove. So we put a mini-etsu pony in the back.

Took a photo just so that if anyone ever asked. If we were ever questioned by NZTA or whoever looks after the regos, we'd have a way around it. Fabulous loophole. That and having an ambulance. It really saves your red joe. I think the chimney could probably fit a million suits. You need a big ramp.

I can't fit in the back. Because you're a big horse. What are you saying? Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I got my head out this song. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Well, it's coming up in an hour, the long weekend group two. Tomorrow's the day off for most people. Matariki, the first public holiday. I'm so excited for this one. I think it's going to go well. I remember last time we weren't in studio, we were all at home and so I think this synergy is better and people want to do it for you

for your birthday. It is colder this morning than the last weekend that we did the group two, but it's clearer so no rain. Positive. Alright, I'm positive about this. Join us at 8 o'clock for the long weekend group tour. Well, it continues.

The birthday celebrations continue. The birthday celebrations continue. It's my birthday today, and Ross Boss kindly gave us some money for a birthday lunch. He did. I don't know if there's going to be anything left, though. The praise that pays. But I don't know if there's going to be anything left, though. If you hear me say all right, which I've done already four times this morning.

At least four times that we've noticed. If you're the first caller through, you get $50, which is subtracted from this lunch amount, which now is what? $300, down from $500, and we've only been at it for an hour. Abby, good morning. Good morning. I'm sorry. No, don't apologise. You should be. You should be.

He did it. Abby, $50 is all yours. Awesome. Thank you so much. It's like a round of drinks. Yeah, dude. You still got to buy those round of drinks, by the way, but it's coming out of your pocket.

Okay. I nearly said it again. Okay. That's the phrase that pays until nine o'clock. Don't you ding me. He's ready. No, that wasn't a ding, was it?

That wasn't a... No, I didn't say it. No, no, no. That was just a prank. I didn't say it. Coming up on the show, there has been another... We talked yesterday

about Ernest Adams just absolutely killing every product. This one is... This one's groundbreaking. It's huge. Another food has been discontinued and this had the internet in shock

last night when this news broke. Every person I've told has been like, you're kidding me. Like genuine disbelief at this being discontinued. Is this like a trend now with things and you know all the disruption and supply chain supply chain issues

were blamed for earnest if companies have products that aren't doing that well they're just going to cut them sucky alright

there's going to be no money left it's 7 o'clock we've got two more hours There's going to be no money left. It's seven o'clock. We've got two more hours. We might as well just wait here until then. Yeah, let's just wait. Here's a phone line.

Next on the show. Are you kidding me? Is that somebody? I'll just say next on the show, we want to talk about how your parents woke you up. How your parents got you out of, what techniques did your parents use to get you out of bed, to get to school and stuff? Shannon, good morning.

Good morning. $50. Thank you. Piss off. Got a $50. $50, not piss off. No, enjoy that, Shannon. Well done.

That's something less for our luncheon today, isn't it? Okie dokie. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley Something if you're a parent You might be familiar with Is there's this thing called Kids Messenger now

It's getting kids nice and addicted To Facebook services When they're young It's just fantastic Hook them in now But it's the way they communicate I guess it's like the landline When we were kids

But there was only one landline You could only have one conversation at once But every morning before school, my daughter's friend group ping off on this kid's messenger and I get notifications because it tells you who your kids are talking to and stuff. And I said to her last night, I was like, how do you have time before school

to engage in full conversation with people? Yeah. And like send photos and videos and stuff. Because when I went to school, like I got dragged out of bed pretty much every morning. Oh yeah, because my bedroom was downstairs. Mum would stand at the top of the stairs and be like, Kaaaaa!

And then you'd just ignore and go under the blanket. And then if she had to storm downstairs, you were in trouble. Oh, she'd be scrambling. She didn't want to have to go up and down stairs. Yeah, mums was walking out of bed and curtains were opened. And then you'd pull the covers up and then she'd come in and just grab the covers and just tear them all off.

Oh, that's dangerous. Yeah, when you were a teenager. Yeah, well, interesting. Never really thought about it. But never really happened either. But, yeah, we were talking about this and producer Jared said, and I think this was almost Guantanamo Bay-esque way of getting out of bed. How did your mum get you out of bed if you were mucking around

and not getting ready for school? Occasionally, if I was being pretty stubborn, she would like come into the room, pull back the duvet and like pull up the back of my pyjama bottoms or boxes or whatever and chuck a handful of ice cubes in. Oh my God. That is so good.

Yeah. Is it a South African thing? No, I think it's just a Korean thing. Okay. Wow. Mine was much gentler. My mum's was, she'd open the door

and go, she still does it now. What, like a bird? Yeah, because it's like the high frequency of it. It gently wakes you up. It's gorgeous.

Is it that frequency only teenagers can hear? Yeah. Yeah. Patsy's got a perfect... She still does it when I stay at the house now. She'll wake up me and Aaron

like that on Christmas morning. And then if I didn't get up, because I lived ages away from school, my bus was 6.50 in the morning to get to school. Oh, my God. From Eastbourne, it was like ages. It took an hour and had to go through the hut and that. And then if I was going to miss it, she was like, oh, good luck to you. And she'd leave and go to work and then I'd be stuck.

Just have to like get some other bus to school. And sometimes I just wouldn't go. And I'd go and visit my boyfriend instead. Oh, jokes on you. I prefer that method, though, than an ice cube down the back of the joffice. Down the joffice, yeah, ice cube in the joffice. That's torture. That's all, guys.

So we want to know this morning, how did your parents wake you up? If you were dilly-dallying before school. Yeah, maybe you're such a heavy sleeper in the morning that you just couldn't get up. Alarms wouldn't work. Or maybe your parents did pull the bed sheets off and it just was a big surprise. Or a little surprise.

I mean, you'd only do that once, wouldn't you? You would, yeah. But maybe there was water. Or a squirty bottle. Music involved. Yeah. Slap around the head. Fire siren. Smoke bomb. Yeah. Slap around the head. Fire siren. Smoke bomb. Yeah.

I don't know whether they smoke but taser. Well you can call us 0800 Darls at Emerson number. You can text as well. 9696. How did your parents wake you up if you were mucking around and not getting ready for school? We're talking how your parents got you out of bed for school because I needed to be

roused every morning yeah with curtains flying back oh and when we lived in an old house with single glazed windows and everything

mum used to just in winter just throw the window open oh and then shut the door behind her so it wouldn't affect the rest of the house

yeah but all of a sudden your room she'd rip the window open you'd just be freezing lying there in your paycheck oh man and then she'd know you were getting open, you'd just be freezing. Lying there in your PJs.

And then she'd know you were getting up because you'd stomp down the hallway. Whereas your kids are up so early they're chatting on messenger, kids messenger. They're on kids messenger before school. That's wild. Who's got the time? Yesterday there was even, what are you guys wearing? Oh, cute. Because they were going on a trip, so it wasn't uniform like normal. They were like, what are you guys wearing?

I was like, Jesus Christ. I would have been like my goth pedicots. Darren, good morning. Good morning. How did your mum wake you up, your parents? I share that story with Jared. As a fellow South African, it might be a South African thing where my dad used to come into the room in the evenings,

open the curtains, bust open the windows, and if they don't wake me up, get a glass of water to the face. Oh, my God. It is a South African thing. Brutal. Wouldn't you have a wet bed? No, that's my problem, not his.

You learn that lesson once. Wow. That's brutal. Amazing. That's such a brutal way to wake up. Darren, thanks for your call. Ashley, how did your parents wake you up? It wasn't my parents.

I boarded at a girl's hostel. Oh, okay. And we had a matron that would come around and open the door and she'd say, Good morning. And then someone complained about it one day. So she came around for a week with a pot and a pan. Banging on it. Oh, banging them.

Banging the pot and pan. That would work, wouldn't it? Very loud. Tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank. I didn't even think about how it would work at a boarding school like that. What would happen if someone didn't get up? Would you get detention? No, I don't know.

We just always got up. You missed out on breakfast if you didn't get up. Oh, yeah, true. Do the matrons at boarding school, that's what they do, eh? Do they have their own family? I don't know enough about boarding schools and matrons. Well, sometimes they can live on the school or they could have a little house. My auntie did it for a while, didn't she?

Remember she was a... Oh, yeah, but she had a family, right? Yeah, yeah, she'd just come, like, work and then go home. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah. Okay, not all of them then. Ashley, thanks for your call. I just start to feel a bit sad for them.

Yeah. Michael, how did your mum wake you up if you weren't getting up in the morning? Well, it was during like calving season. Without being able to calve, we'd always get a phone call in the morning. Yeah. And Ashley managed to leave it to two phone calls. Being you, we're in trouble. Oh, so she'd give you a ring.

She'd ring on the landline, and if you didn't answer. Yeah, yeah, you're in trouble. Oh, so she'd give you a ring. She'd ring on the landline, and if you didn't answer. Yeah, yeah, you're in trouble. Right. What, would she just fire the shotgun from the carving shed? Yeah. You just hear it. You're like, oh, no. Oh, no.

Or jump on the motorbike, and if you heard that coming, you knew that would get up. Yeah, you're in the shower. Yeah. Farm kids, if you heard the motorbike roaring towards the house, you'd be like, uh-oh, I've slept in. Back door, bang, open. Get out of bed.

Michael, thanks. He called some messages in. Oh, how's this? Oh, this poor child. What happened? Mum used to cook me hash browns and then put the plate with hot hash browns next to my pillow and the smell would wake me up.

Are you kidding me? She'd put our clothes in front of the heater so they were nice and warm when we put them on. Oh, my mum used to do that, put our undies on the heater. I was going to say that sounds very patsy. Because you got your after school platter, didn't you? My after school platter. But no, the wake up was ruder than that. But we did have undies on either the heated towel rail or the heater.

Cotton undies, yes, but you wouldn't want to run a satin boxer. We were strictly cottoners, Kim. You were strictly cottoners as children. Yes, of course, of course. My mum would wake us up nicely at first. If we didn't get up, she'd come to our rooms and water pistol us in the face. That's great.

What, with a Super Soaker 500? Yeah, a few water pistols, actually. Dad was a water pistoler from the door. And, in fact, he took great pride in upgrading his water pistols as better water pistols became available. Better than like a cup of water because it's less water. Yes. Yeah.

Because like that caller before said, that's my problem, but it wouldn't be because you'd be whinging about it nonstop and your parents would be sick of hearing about it. A wet pillow too. That takes so long to dry. Yeah. Someone said my mum used to put a, when she got up, she would put a wet face cloth in the freezer.

And then when it was by time for us to get out of bed, she'd just flick a wet, freezing, freezing, freezing cold. Oh, my God. Wet face cloth on the face. I don't even think you could do some of these under the Geneva Convention. No. That's a war. You've got a wet flannel on your face and you're laid back.

You're one bucket away from waterboarding. You are. You're one bucket away from waterboarding. It are. You're one bucket away from waterboarding. It sort of makes me want to have kids just so I can mess with them. Dad used to go out to the woodpile and grab a spider or a wetter or whatever creepy thing he could. He'd walk in, he'd be like, you're up, and just chuck it. You would be up so fast.

You would be up so fast. It would be great for your reactions because in one motion you'd wake and backhand the bug away. I'm going to need to eat before the long-looking group, too. But one thing, I won't be eating. Honestly, every day is a masterclass with you two. Matt. The segues, eh?

The segues. You don't need radio school when you work with these two, I tell you what. You'll be a crash course. I won't be eating is a snack, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a hell of a week, and it's only Thursday. Ernest Adams, R.O.P. I mean, the man himself died a long time ago, but...

Yeah. The brand, Ernest Adams, gone. Gone. Think of all those delicious little bits and pieces they used to make. I kind of said this before, but I think a lot of companies are going to start doing this with the, you know, production lines, the supply crisis, recession. I think if things aren't performing, companies are just going to cut them. Remember when it was a fun game when something was discontinued

and you'd be like, all right, bring back tangy fruits. Bring back snifters. There was only about four things you could say bring back. Bring back Georgie Pie. And then they brought back Georgie Pie and everyone was like, eh. And then no one – No one – They brought the Georgie Pie and they're like,

we're getting rid of Georgie Pie again. They got rid of it. Everyone's like, all right, bring back Georgie Pie. But hey, shush. There's a reason these things were discontinued because people weren't buying them. Yeah. Yeah.

And Le Snack has been added to that list. You've got to be kidding me. What? That is unbelievable. How many crackers were in each Le Snack? Three? Well, producer Jared is so upset about this because as a grown man,

he still would pack a Le Snack, wouldn't you? It's just a bit fresh. Oh, bye. Sorry, man. I'm sorry for your loss. How many crackers would you get? Three crackers and maybe just over a teaspoon of delicious jelly cheese. Jelly cheese.

Jelly cheese. He was reluctant to call it cheese, wasn't he? The jelly cheese has 49% cheddar cheese in it, which is honestly more cheese than I thought. It's not a majority, though. If there was to be a board vote, the cheddar would get rolled because that's not a majority. It's got margarine in it.

It's got cheddar cheese, water, margarine, which then has its own list of ingredients, whey powder, milk mineral, mineral salts. Oh, bulks. Dirty bulk. I wonder why you were bloody popping recently. Absolutely popping.

Have to turn sideways through doors. I remember, I remember when they changed the shape of the, the holder for the cheese. Do you remember? It used to be more of a square. Yeah.

A rectangle. And then it went to like a, like a, a segment of orange in shape. Like a wedge. A wedge, yeah, or more of a round. Huh, really? That was so you could, because when it was rectangular,

you couldn't get into the corners. No, it was to get less, put less cheese in there. Oh, yeah, that too. But when it was rectangular, you would always miss the corners and then you had the pleasure of getting your little pinky finger. Oh, no, no, no, get your tongue in there. Suck it from under the fingernail. Get your tongue in there.

Tony, why don't you build a strong tongue? Yeah, poke your no, no. Get your tongue in there. Suck it from under the fingernail. Get your tongue in there. Tell you what, build a strong tongue. Yeah, poke your tongue real hard. Really get in there. We never had, at primary school, we never had any, like, muesli bars or snacks or roll-ups. Really? Or chips. No, it's called being poor, Hayley.

Pover, yeah. God, tell you what, I'm going to tell you, primary and Eastbourne. You were no one if you weren't eating a little snack. No, we had gruyere and crisps. No, tell you what. Middletown Primary and Eastbourne. You were no one if you weren't eating a Le Snack. No, we had Gruyere and crisps. No, we didn't. We had Le Snacks. Did you have, because we never had Le Snacks,

because my mother just straight up refused to buy them. But when we'd go and stay at our grandparents, if our parents went overseas and there was still a week of school, Nana would be like, you get to pick. So you imagine parking me in front of it, and I could choose Le Snacks but Dunkaroos were an option. No kid's going to choose Le Snacks

over Dunkaroos. But Dunkaroos, they went a few years back. Dunkaroos, RIP. We want to talk about your Le Snack memories this morning. Does it remind you of a rich kid who always waved their French cheese cracker snack in your face

even though there was very little cheese there was very little French to this French people are like eh that's not us I remember at primary school there was a kid

and he always used to have like it was only snack packs and he would end up swapping for like fruit and sandwiches yeah because

wow it just got too much it was just the same it has shag health yeah it has shag health I remember it was a sign you you'd peel the Le Snack off. Yeah.

And just flick it on the wall. You know the lid of the Le Snack, the tin, the oil thing? It had the little bit. It had the cheesy, well now I know it's a cheesy margarine mixture. Whack! And it would set in the sun and it was impossible to get them off. And they were just everywhere. The economics, what was it, C Block at Morrinsville College? C, what was it, C12? set in the sun and it was impossible to get them off and they were just everywhere the economics C block

at Morrinsville College C what was it C12 yeah whack on the window and then we'd get sun all day long

and Mr Cochran hated that because it was on his window I bet he did I bet he did it had a cheesy mess I didn't know that there were other flavours what?

French onion cheese and bacon goodness tasty cheese cheddar cheese I was in the supermarket yesterday when news of this broke What other flavours? French onion, cheese and bacon? Goodness. Tasty cheese, cheddar cheese? I was in the supermarket yesterday when news of this broke and I did spot some 10-packs. Did you buy some? No.

Would they last? Rude, eh, Jared? It would last forever, right? I'd say they'd last a while, yeah. They would last an atomic bomb. There's margarine in them. Yeah, yeah. Margarine, they're great.

When I die, bury me in margarine so that they can... Preserve your body in mar them. Yeah. Margarine, they're great. When I die, bury me in margarine so that they can... Preserve your body in marge. Yeah. Why pay $150,000 to get cryogenically frozen when you could be coated in margarine? You could be buried in Meadowley. Meadowley! I deserve better, though.

I'm an Olivano guy. Yeah, I'm an Olivano. You're Sunrise. You're getting married in Sunrise. No, he's getting budget table spread. Yeah, not even margarine. How do you call it margarine. All right.

You're going to let that one slip, Hornsmart. I completely missed it. I was reading the text messages that are already rolling in. The phrase that pays. That one slipped right out.

We almost missed it. Just before the air break, the phrase that pays today, it's my birthday. And so Ross Boss gave us money for a lunch. But if I say the word all right, which apparently I do all the time. Oh, so much. Then first caller through gets $50. Until we run out of money, I will say.

I'm not paying out of my own pocket. You're at 200 now. Dan, so much. Then first caller through gets $50. Until we run out of money, I will say. I'm not paying out of my own pocket. You're at 200 now. Dan, good morning. Good morning, guys. How's it going? Happy birthday. Thank you, Dan. $50 is yours for getting through first with the Fraser Pays.

What's the lunch budget now? Oh, man. From five. Should have bought those with snacks. I have not been doing this intentionally. It is every time I catch myself saying it, I'm like... Thank you, Dan. We are talking about LeSnacks, though, and your LeSnack memories,

because LeSnacks, and this is the first that some people are hearing about it. They have been, they are going to be discontinued. I did see some in the supermarket yesterday and online. Yeah. They won't be there today, to be discontinued. I did see some in the supermarket yesterday and online. Yeah. They won't be there today, I reckon. No. After this breaking news. I'll tell you what, teachers, people were hearing from both sides of the coin on. Someone said, I've been waiting,

I've been wondering why my local countdown hasn't had the snacks. I'm a teacher and I keep them as a snack at school in my drawer. Oh, yeah, okay. Perfect drawer snack. Yeah, yeah. okay. Perfect, perfect drawer snack. Yeah, yeah. Because it's so flat. Because I think that's why this news broke.

Because somebody reached out to the company and then the screenshot was on Reddit and doing the rounds yesterday. And then stuff followed up with a comment from the company saying, yes, it is legit. Yes. It is legit. The snack is liquid. It's good from you. Thank you. But somebody else said, as a teacher, thank God they're going.

Because I'm sick of cleaning up the cheese globs. Yeah, it was sticky. Yeah, it was a sticky bit. Get that in a bit of carpet. Grace, what's your LeSnack memory? Oh, hi, guys. Hi. I'm really excited to talk to you.

We are equally as excited to talk to you. You don't sound it, Va. Hi. Hi. I'm really excited to talk to you. Oh, we're excited to hear you. I'm equally as excited to talk to you. You don't sound it, Vaughn. Yeah, I know. This is my excited. I've got a condition where if I get really excited, I get less excited sounding. Okay, right.

But I am excited. My heart's racing. You've got a Le Snack memory from Halloween. Oh, yeah. Well, growing up, I was never allowed stuff like the snacks or the gurus or whatever they're called. Same. And, you know, I was really spoiled

and had homemade baking and beautiful homemade snacks. Oh, I see. I'd rather have that. But when you're a kid, you don't know because you just see all the prepackaged stuff and you want that. Yeah, so I was really spoiled and just really didn't appreciate it at the time.

We had this local lady when we did our rounds for Halloween that she would never have lollies so she'd give away things like little packets of nuts and walnuts and... Also, giving away nuts for Halloween is dangerous.

But also, stop pushing your healthy eating agenda on kids that just want lollies. It's paleo. It's paleo. And so you'd go round for a LeSnack? Well, she was my favourite house because she would give away the LeSnack. Yeah, man. So I would swap out all of my lollies with my neighbourhood friends for snacks

so that I had a little stash of snacks for them all. Sometimes you're just a savoury gal, you know what I mean? Yeah. The sugar's too much. You're rocking the last six weeks of school, eh? You're just snacking every day. That's 30 less snacks, five days a week. You'd have to store them, though, for hiding them from your parents.

Right now, Lee Snack memories because the snack has been discontinued some people have been pointing out that Pam's does a version Yeah Pam's Dip and Go

Okay But do you reckon that I can't find it online Like it's there but you click on it at various supermarkets it's like out of stock Maybe it's

out of stock I can't find it Dipped and gone. Maybe it's dipped and gone. Because it was dip and go. They might actually, you know what, the people that make the snacks probably made those. Yeah. I mean, I can't comment on that.

Similar. Yeah, same shape packaging and everything, just a different colour. Cheese spritz. Perhaps you're right there. Okay. Someone said, this is absolutely heartbreaking news, I'm a 21-year-old who smashes three LeSnacks for Smoko.

They're unreal. It's actually crazy how many adults still eat LeSnacks. I mean, I know Jared does, but it's a sound effect. He's not a real adult, though, is he? You guys are going to have your mind blown when you realise you can actually just make your own cheese and crackers. Wow. Make your own cheese. You've got your bougie.

Right from the start. You're going to need at least a field of wheat to do so. I believe in you. Chelsea, what's your Le Snack memory? Hello. Hello. I was into media. My best friend

while we were at school camp decided to tell me a little secret that she had been told by her mum that her effects of problems were leptin intolerance. And so she had to really cut back. And apparently her dad found out when we went on school camp, he'd packed nothing but leesnacks for her school lunch.

Did she shit herself? And so did you get all the LeSnacks? The whole class was very thankful, but she was not happy. Oh my God. So it was just LeSnack breakfast, lunch and dinner for school camp. Exactly. It's good to know though that there was real cheese in there.

Because if you were lactose intolerant and you ate LeSnacks and you didn't have a reaction, you'd be like, there's no deal. My only shareholder is the cheese. It's full margarine. Thanks, you're cool. Chelsea, some more messages in.'t have a reaction. You'd be like, there's no deal. Minority shareholder is the cheese. It's full margarine. Thanks, you're cool. Chelsea, some more messages in. I'm a teacher.

One day a little girl held hundreds and thousands of biscuits up to her eyes and said, these are my eyes now. And they looked very cute. And I laughed. And then I heard, miss, miss. And I turned around and one of the boys had used the cheese on the back of the Le Snack crackers to stick the crackers to his eyes. And he's like, I can do it without my hands.

And I'll tell you what, you haven't had a job on your hands so you've tried wiping that sticky cheese out of a child's eyes. All in the eyes. Children. Yeah, I think the majority of teachers messaging in this morning are not sad to see the back of these things. It's picking up a lot of the rubbish. Somebody said this is. Not sad to see the back of these things. Yeah. Picking up a lot of the rubbish. Somebody said this is quite like therapeutic to hear that LeSnacks have gone for a long time.

They've had LeSnacks on the brain. They say, I'm upset to admit it, but in the 90s, I didn't have much in my lunchbox. There was a LeSnack bandit at my primary school. I think they were the LeSnack bandit. Okay. Who would sneak out of class and eat all the LeSnacks in the locker room out of other people's lunch boxes. I'm 28 now, and I always think about the fact that I am the LeSnack Bandit.

He's the Bandit. He was the Bandit. How did you not get caught, though? Surely the school would have ran a sting. Yeah, they would have. What do you mean, like poison a LeSnack? Like get a LeSnack, open it, inject it with poison or rufanol or something and resell it so the kid that ate it would all of a sudden be in the playground running and then just...

We've got him! It's the LeSnack Bandit! I don't know if you can just poison school kids. But we killed the kid to find him. How much rufanol should you give a child? Oh, shit. Get the EpiPens! Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

It is a long weekend. Matariki. Literally just pulled my pomamu out of my bag. Is this a good luck omen? It is. I was like, what's in here? She's going on. She's going on for good omen. All right.

Well, the long weekend. Oh, my God. You're catching yourself doing it. It's the phrase that pays. We are in the middle today of the phrase that pays for my birthday. Yeah, we'll stop saying it. Every time I say the phrase that pays, we take $50 out of our lunch budget. You now have, for whoever calls and we'll give them $50,

you now have $150 left of your $500 lunch voucher. That's not too bad because the first hour, I'm pretty sure you're down to half anyway. You've pulled it back. All right, well, let's give away $50 because we've got to get into the long weekend group two. Look at this beautiful bloody day. Freezing cold. Good morning, Katie. All right.

All right, all right, all right. I had no idea how often I say all right, the word. But yeah, it's $50 is yours. That's today's phrase that pays. Congratulations. Congratulations, Katie. Same, same, same. Have a good day.

All right, let's get into the Long Weekend Group 2. And as you say, Va, team. Have a good day. All right, let's get into the long weekend group tour. As you say, Vaughn. Oh, my God, did he? Yeah, he did. He said it and I was like, thanks, Katie. All right. All right, let's get into the long weekend group tour. We have no... We can't be clogging up the phone lines like this.

Yeah, I know. Anna's like, wind it in, mate. What can you buy for 100 bucks where we're going? Bowl of fries. This one. Damn it! Well, once the money runs out, that's it. We're not giving it.

I'm not paying out of my... You're going to exchange money from your personal bank account. I'm not giving it out of my personal bank account. Absolutely not. Oh, Katie's still here. Should we go? Rebecca, $50. Congratulations.

Awesome. Thank you very much. This is very rude stealing from my birthday fund. I'll buy you something nice and I'll celebrate at my place. Oh, that's nice. We'll come over. Yeah. You're going to have to.

We don't have any lunch budget left. That didn't sound like an indecent proposal. That didn't sound like a proposition. Rachel, thank you. All right, let's go. No, Rebecca. Rebecca. You did it again.

What is wrong with you? What is wrong with your brain? Let's just get it all out of the way now. Let's just get it all out of the way now. You're at $50. I think we've only got $50 left now. Should I say it again just so we give away all the money and then we can get into the long weekend group too?

No, no, no, no, no. Because we're coming to the lunch. Me and Vaughn want a free cocktail. I mean, you guys did make this happen. Yeah. Regretfully. It's on you. Someone's calling in. They're leaving you with

$50. Josie, good morning. Hi. $50. Thank you so much. Happy birthday. Now we have $50 left for my birthday lunch. Don't say it. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

The Long Weekend Group 2. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning. So horning. I'm horning, horning, horning in the morning. We're live on our Facebook page as well, FVHZM, if you'd like to join us on Facebook for maybe our disappointed reactions Morning in the morning. We're live on our Facebook page as well, F-E-H-Z-M, if you'd like to join us on Facebook for maybe our disappointed reactions judging by the last long weekend. No, no, no.

It's Matariki. It's our first Matariki long weekend. It's your birthday. It is cold. The phone lines are loaded. It's a beautiful morning across the country. It's cold but beautiful. Having a little porridge.

So let's just run through the tooting again. This is how it works. You call us in traffic around other cars and give us the first bit of the long weekend group toot. Somebody else finishes off. So if you're in traffic and you just hear even a faint toot, finish off with toot. So it should go. I also feel it at any time in life

you should finish it off. Exactly. Any time. And then why wait to be on the radio to also do the two? Just do the two. Just come together. This is what this long weekend's all about.

We're going to start in the Garden City this morning. Cherie and Mila, good morning. Hello. Hello. Cheers. Is it Cherie or Mila, good morning. Hello. Hello. Is it Cherie or Mila? Yes. You're Mila. Oh, you're Mila.

That's Mila. Thank you, Cherie. Mila, how long have you had your licence for? I'm only eight. You shouldn't be driving, Mila. All right, get mum to... We've got a couple of wines this morning as well. Probably. Get mum to give us a long weekend group toot.

And I guess just to run through as well, make sure your window's down, so toot. And then we want that phone kind of near the window to hear any toots. Okay, so when you're ready, guys. All right, we're just coming up to a red light. Perfect. That's a great spot for a toot there.

Okay, ready? Yeah, let's go. That's a great spot for a toot there. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. Oh, that sounded like a T-Rex. All right. Give it another one. Give it another one, Mum. Good toot from you.

And we had to miss the traffic, so we're just going to do a pull in a legal U-ey. You do it.

Because I was hearing a lot of excuses there, and I was wondering where it was leading, but if it was leading to, you know, I'm pulling in a legal U-ey, I'm all for it. I reckon rip a fat U-eyui and we'll have another go. Do you want us to come back or do you want to do it now? Come up to some typical

And the long weekend group toot, we're running at four from nine. We are having some phone issues. Yeah.

Which is not making the long weekend group tour easy. Hone wants to know on the Facebook Live if this phone issue was directly linked to the sun flare that happened. I don't know. I don't think so. A very good question, though. They've changed technology. So it used to be like Nan's landline, the copper. And now it's all VoIP.

Like over the internet. And it's just not... We're rebelling against it. Yeah. We demand a phone line. It's a bit of an issue with a lot of most radio stations. But keep calling. We can hear most of it. Yeah. Right. So

we're going to Stephanie and Fangaday. Good morning Stephanie. Good morning. We can hear most of it. Yeah. Right, so we'll all be behind us. Where are we going? We're going to Stephanie in Whangarei.

That was it. We are business on that honker. Get out of here, Nicky. Get out of here and have a great long weekend. Business on that honker. Jared, also in Wellington. Whereabouts? Just heading down the gorge.

Oh, gorgeous. Okay, gorgeous. Get it? We're backed up. Okay, give us a long weekend group turn on the gorge. Yes. Oh, gorgeous. Okay, gorgeous. Get it. We're backed up. Okay, give us a long weekend group turn on the gorge. Oh, no love. Unbelievable. This is in our culture.

That was a great tune. It was a great tune. Oh, I'm just getting eyeballed. Seriously, we're in tables. Who next to me is looking at me, listening to the radio. It's not doing it. To the back, you bastard! There you go. She's turning now.

Oh, wait. Turn it on now. Drug injured. They're a bastard. Who is this bastard? Could you tell them to wind the wind? Wait, wait, wait. Wait. They're a bastard Who is this bastard? Could you tell them to wind the wheel? Wait, wait, wait

Yay It was chaos That was madness I thought she was going to toot And you were going to finish her off Yes But she didn't finish Could we try that?

If you just turned it back And you're in Wellington in the gorge And you did the two toots back Now you lead the toot. So you start the toot and Jared will finish it off. We call this the reverse long weekend group toot. I think you're asking too much. I'm asking too much.

She's slipped too far behind me now. Was there a connection there, though, Jared, that we could maybe explore further? Maybe. I don't know if my wife would be too happy about that. No, no, no. You never know until you ask if a third can join the marriage, Jared. I'm on time to ask my wife right now.

Yeah, I love that. I want to ask you, Jared, to be the third in my marriage. Jared, thank you. We'll put that on the results board. Fantastic tooting it is. Let's go to Daniel in Papakura. Good morning, Daniel. Daniel. Papakura. Good morning, Daniel. Daniel?

Papakura Daniel? Hello. I thought you'd fallen asleep at the wheel, Daniel. Nah, not quite, but I'm sitting in traffic for about half an hour along Sutterman Road in Pakura. Alright, hit us. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot.

I've got the police sitting next to me, so hopefully they don't give me a fight. The police have been in the long weekend group too before. It would be slightly hypocritical of them to ticket you for unwarranted use of a warning device when they once partook. If they do it, put them on the phone to us. We'll sort it out.

All right, all right, all right. Did you hear that? Yeah, I did hear it. I just heard a swoop pass. Yeah, like a distant... Can we go again? And a little bit slower. A little bit slower?

Yeah. A little bit. Yeah! There it is. Yes, yes, yes. And have we got away with it? I'm being eyeballed by the cops. That's all right. Hi, cops. Hi, cops. Hi, yes. And have we got away with it? I'm being eyeballed by the cops. That's all right.

Hi, cops. Hi, cops. Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Master and Ms. Policeman. Awesome. Okay, Daniel, wait there. We've got Anna. Let's go to Anna. The last few calls.

What are we running at currently? By the way, we've got one, two, three, four in a row. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anna, no pressure. And Hamilton, could we, four in a row. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anna, no pressure. And Hamilton, could we do five in a row? Okay, I'm going.

I'm going now. Okay, go. Okay, go. You've stuck that royally, man. Anna, Anna, Anna. There's so many cars. You didn't do it right. Okay, I'm going.

old lady in the head. No way. Was she in Heavenly Creatures? No. No, that's Melanie Linsky. I always get those two confused. One's a New Zealander. I know. And one's American. Selma Blair's got MS, and I thought Melanie Linsky had it, and I know someone that knows her, and I said,

I'm so sorry to hear about Melanie. They said, what's happened? I said, she's got MS. And they were like, oh, my God. And then they came back to me later, and they were like, you've got the wrong person. Melanie's fine. They went to Melanie and were like,

I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. And it was Sarah and Blair, not Melanie Linsky. They don't even look the same. They don't look anything the same. They don't look the same. White brunette ladies. They all look the same to me. Just chuck me in that category.

You've got two, don't you? I think I might. Weren't you in Heavenly Creatures? Sure. And the Big Bang Theory? She's from New Plymouth. Yeah, that's me. She's from New Plymouth.

The Big Bang Theory? Summer Blair is. No. She wasn't in the Big Bang Theory. She was in Two and a Half Men. Who was in the Big Bang Theory then? Kayleigh Cuoco. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You are so racist. White people do not all look the same. They do. Thank you. You do. Joel Egerton has his birthday today. The Australian actor I just watched the final of Kenobi last night.

He's in that. He plays Uncle Ben. Yeah, I just looked. I'm looking at all the famous people. Jason Mraz. Jason Mraz. Mraz. A very fedora birthday to Jason Mraz.

Merlot Shiraz combination. I'll get the Mraz. Well, another person who has their birthday today is Sonic the Hedgehog how cool Sonic the Hedgehog was released on this day in 1991

wow it's his 31st birthday technically what's your birthday because my PT I told them how old you were turning today

and she was like but I was like how old do you think he was she said 35 we like I was like, how old do you think he was? She said 35. We like. I was just saying she's a little bit off. My life sucks because it's actually very good.

You've got one of the good ones. I live a very privileged lifestyle. I recognise that. But my wife, not ageing. My best friend, not ageing. And I'm like a leathery old purse at this stage.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I look like a puckered ass. We should see. A puckered ass. In the morning. Just before I brush my teeth, you know when you go. And I'm like, gross. And the light comes on at the self-serve checkout and they're like, don't worry about him.

He looks like a puckered arse. He's not 16. I'm like, I'm just buying a bottle of wine. And they just throw their cone at me like, help yourself. You deserve it, old timer. Give him the gold card discount. The puckered arse gold card discount. Anyway, it's not all about me.

It's about you and it's about Sonic the Hedgehog because it's a happy birthday to Carl Peter Fletcher. Thank you. And it's a happy birthday to Carl Peter Fletcher and it's a happy birthday to Sonic Peter Hedgehog. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I'm Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- And what's it called? The plunger. Don't hit the plunger either. Right. Because apparently drinking just one cup of caffeinated coffee

prior to going on a shopping spree, a little shopping trip, could result in you spending around 50% more money than if you hadn't had that cup of coffee. Really? And buying 30% more items. Is it because you get the caffeine hit and it's coursing through your veins? Yeah, caffeine is a powerful stimulant releasing dopamine into the brain which excites the mind and the body.

This leads to a higher energetic state, which in turn enhances impulsivity and decreases self-control. So literally you'd just be like, Jesus. It scared me. I was looking at you as that came out and it still scared me. I mean, I love to shop, but I don't drink coffee. And I did.

I had two coffees the other day. I remember when I texted you guys and I was like, how do you do this? How do you do this? I'm a neurotic mess. I'm an erotic mess. So yeah, if you're going shopping and you want to be like, I'm just going to buy a singlet because it's gotten colder.

Or you're doing window shopping, but you're still getting the more experience. Yeah. Stay away from the coffee. Stay away from the coffee. Stay away from the coffee, guys. All right.
