The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe, great any size McCafe coffee. For only $4, conditions apply. I've had a great response overnight to my social media post that I put up yesterday. Viral. I'd say it's gone viral. Why?

I commented on it. Well, if you've commented on it, that is a sign yesterday. Viral. I'd say it's gone viral. Why? I commented on it. Well, if you've commented on it, that is a sign of a viral post. What did I say? Ooh, fuck yeah. Ooh, yeah, it was ooh, fuck yeah. No, I was at Walking Home last night and a couple of buildings near mine,

there's this, and I notice a few buildings have these. It's where the water is somehow, the paint's not perfect and the water seeps in and makes this bubble in the paint. Oh, yes. So between the brick and the paint, just this big bubble of like a pimple, like a building pimple. Yeah.

And I was like, I've got to pop this. I've got to put my finger in this. Oh! And, oh, my God, I put my finger it's yeah pop the water bubble and then water and water came gushing out yeah and i'm gonna start doing this more i think because it's like watching a dr pimple popper it is you need to create your like a whole separate instagram i reckon and then in your spare time you need to go around Auckland City finding paint pimples. Paint pimples.

Yeah, building pimples. Just walk into people's backyards and. Yeah. I mean, don't do this in your own home. I did this. So in our little back bit where our bedroom is, it's quite a badly built extension from many moons ago. Right. And we're going to bowl it.

Yeah. But for the time being, when it rains, the whole roof gets those bubbles like ago. Right. And we're going to bowl it. Yeah. But for the time being, when it rains, the whole roof gets those bubbles like this. No. Yeah, it's really, really bad. It hasn't like sprung through yet. And then my brother came over from Melbourne and I was like, oh yeah, don't worry about that.

And I touched it lightly and it just, and my finger went right through it and water went, and I was like, oh no. New Zealand housing standards aren't great, aren't they? Oh yeah. I mean, I don't think New Zealand housing standards have looked at this house for quite a few years. All right.

So don't poke the ones inside, poke the ones outside. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleeche, Vaughan and Hayley, all in different parts of the country slash world today on the show. Hayley, you're broadcasting from home. Broadcasting from my little humble home because the great Kiwi Bank Office started filming

and it films very close to my house. So I was like, nah, I'm not coming in. Because a lot of people are wondering if you've got COVID, so you've been having to deny that. I will say, even though I'm not in studio, though, Fletch, we're very in sync. Bright yellow on today. Good yellow.

Yeah, yellow T-shirt, yellow jumper. Vaughan today, right now, is at Disneyland. Oh, I know. But can you believe I woke up when my alarm went off at 4.30 to a message on our group chat from Vaughan at 2 a.m. saying, guys, wake up, it's Star Wars Day. Like, he knows the time difference. He knows we need our sleep before we wake up to actually, you know, work, Vaughan.

And then all the photos. He's, like, on his tiptoes hugging Chewy, Chewbacca. I was a little embarrassed about the hugs. I think if you zoom in, you can see tears streaming down his cheeks. You can, you can. He's going to call in. I think he's building a lightsaber at the moment. I don't know.

We'll just leave him be. He's a grown man having the time of his life. Who are we to judge? At one of the happiest places in the world. He's going to call in this morning around 7.20. We'll catch up with Vaughn. I think we've got to catch him before he goes into building a droid or a Millennium Falcon or something.

I don't know what he's doing there. Yeah, and also, do you remember yesterday he posted, hey, guys, look who it is. It's R2-D2. And I was like, Vaughn, you know that's not, eh? You know it's not R2-D2. Yeah, I like, Vaughan, you know that's not, eh? You know it's not R2-D2. Yeah, I know. Just let him have this.

I know. Just let him have it. He's having the time of his life. We'll catch up with Vaughan 720 this morning. Coming up on the show, the Prime Minister's been on the Stephen Colby The Late Show. Didn't she look good? Looked fantastic. And promoting the country now that we're back open. More importantly, yes, promoting the country. But gosh, she look good? Looked fantastic. And promoting the country, now that we're back open.

More importantly, yes, promoting the country. But gosh, she looked good. We'll play some highlights of that soon. Also, I've got some names that are slipping down the baby charts. You may have one of these names. Just checking. Hayley, if you're going extinct. Hayley is very 90s.

Yeah, it's very 90s, but it's not. You're not in the top 10 girls list. Because nobody's calling their baby Hayley now, are they? Still cool. Oh, no. Is that like that? Because I think about that with my parents. No one's calling a kid like a baby Craig anymore.

No. And is that happening to me? No one's calling a baby Hayley. Well, there are certainly some names that have slipped like right down the baby name charts. We'll go through those soon on the show. Free fuel as well coming up this morning at 8 o'clock with our retro petrol time machine.

Listen out for the activator. Next though. Dolphins. They're weird, aren't they? And now we've found out they do something that's really, really weird. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. And now we've found out they do something that's really, really weird. Speaking of freaky deaky, dolphins. They're a bit freaky deaky, eh? Because they're super, super intelligent.

Yeah, and they're like the only, what is it, a mammal like us that has sex for fun, yeah. Yeah, they just want to have a little fun. All the other animals, they get on board. Have you ever swam with one, not like at SeaWorld, because that is naughty. I did, when I was young, I did swim with one at SeaWorld. Okay, and then you saw the documentary and you were like.

Much later in life. Mum and dad, how could you do that? How did you put me through this? No, I've never swum organically with dolphins. When I went to Milford Sound the first time ever, one was, you know, playing around at the front. You know how they swim along? Yep.

I think they're incredible, but they are strange to me. Really? I don't know. They've got weird eyes and just this sort of like, and knowing how intelligent they are, I'm like, what do you know? Like, what are you thinking right now? What are you up to?

Well, this might help sort of dampen the respect we have for dolphins as these intelligent creatures. Okay. Because I have high respect for dolphins. I love them. The utmost. Yeah. Listen to this. So scientists have discovered a way in which dolphins recognize their familiars. Their friends.

Yes. Right. So obviously they've got the whistles and stuff that they do, and they've done long studies on that to show, you know, people that they can understand each different whistle to recognise oh, that's my family, that's my friend, that's who I want to have sex with for fun by the whistle.

But apparently another way that they do this is by drinking each other's urine. So when they are near each other, kind of like, I guess, a cat or a dog, how they like spray a bit to sort of... To mark their territory.

Mark territory. Dolphins urinate in small sort of bursts. And then the other dolphins come in and they drink it. They're like, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. And from the urine, they can tell, oh, that's Kevin. That's my mate Kevin. Is that right? Okay. That's my boy, yum. And from the urine, they can tell, oh, that's Kevin. That's my mate Kevin. Right, okay. That's my boy, Kevin.

They couldn't work out that was Kevin before that. Yeah, how intelligent are they? Am I right? Not very. You've got to drink a bit of wheeze to find out. So apparently, yeah, it's the way that they recognise their peers, like their mates, their pals. Right.

Is by the contents of their bladder. Is it because they all look the same? I guess so. Because they've got eyes, right? Like they can see that it's a dolphin. But they just don't know it's their friend. I feel like this whole time we've been like pumping them up like these intelligent creatures.

Use your eyeballs, guys. That's not Kevin. But no. And so apparently when they taste the wheeze of, I believe wheeze is the technical term. Yeah. Wheeze of a friend, they like drink more of it and they spend longer drinking Kevin's wheeze than they do of that of a stranger. Right.

Yeah. This is why when someone's like, I want to be a marine biologist, I'm like, do you? Yeah. Like. They're gross down there. It's all wheeze and yuck down there.

Slippery, slimy. Yeah. Things can eat you. So yeah, not only are they. Yeah, I know. And then, ugh, no. And now dolphins are doing this everywhere. Consuming cups and cups of their mate Kevin's wee-wees.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, this list comes to us from Australia, the list of the most popular baby names so far. Is it Sheila? Not on the list at all. No Sheilas. Oh, what's, is it Dale? No, no Dales on the list.

The interesting thing about this list, though, is it does point out the names that have fallen in popularity the most. So the names that I guess people have overused in the past, like, decade. Well, they're cyclical, aren't they? They sort of, like, go through a phase of popularity, then they come out. Well, that's whatical, aren't they? They sort of go through a phase of popularity, then they come out. Well, that's what the report goes on to say, is that the people

having kids now want more unique names. Yeah, definitely. Because they're younger themselves, and they don't... Candlestick. Candlestick, exactly. So the girls' names first that have had the biggest decrease in popularity, Jasmine has had a decrease of 55 places.

Lara, Summer, Emma, and Claire. They'd be big names like 10 years ago, right? Emma. Everyone's Emma. I mean, Emma's always been popular. In the boys department, Connor has had the biggest decrease in popularity of the last year. It's because

Connor's a naughty boy. Connors always sound like naughty boys, right? Connor is such a rascal. Luke, that's an age old. That's fallen in popularity though in the last year. So has Nicholas, Matthew and Jaden. Jaden's naughty too, right? Jaden is a psychopath.

Although, talk to any teacher that's trying to name a baby, and if they've been teaching long enough, no name is ever good enough. No name's good enough, but they don't. They say it's the J's and the K's. Yeah, that are the naughtiest. So the most popular baby names, these lists come to us from Nextdoor from Australia,

so very similar. And the boys will go from 10 to 1, the most popular. And number one stays the same on the boys list. Thomas is 10. Lucas, Theodore, Charlie, Leo, William, Henry, Jack, Noah, and

Oliver. Oliver has been number one for like forever. Ages, eh? Those are very, not so much biblical. I mean, some biblical, but quite royal. Yeah, but more traditional, right? Yeah. Yeah.

So in the girls list, Ella is number 10. Matilda is nine. I mean, this is Australian. No one in New Zealand's called Matilda, right? I know, but how embarrassing to be waltzing Matilda. Yeah, exactly. What is waltzing Matilda, right? I know, but how embarrassing to be Waltzing Matilda. Yeah, exactly. What is Waltzing Matilda? Anytime I sing Waltzing Matilda, all I think of is the joke one.

Yeah, I don't know. Waltzing Matilda. But it's Australian, right? Two party killed. Willow. Willow is number eight on the girls list of most popular names. Grace, Mia, Ava, Amelia, Olivia, and Charlotte, for the first time in a long time has dropped from the number one spot and

Isla is the number one name. Very loyal sounding Isla. I would like to point out and I hate to do this to you Fletch but off air as Fletch was reading this article he said how do you pronounce I-S-L-A and I was too pumped to tell it was Isla. It's Isla, right?

I was too pumped to tell it was Isla. It's Isla, right? Isla. I really hope you said actually the list is Isla. Is that how Isla Fisher spells her name? Yes.

Isla Fisher spells her name Isla. I thought it was like A-I-L-S-A or something. Isla. Oh, look, I don't know. Isla is the number one girl's name in Australia for the last year. Fletch, if you ever have a child and it's a girl.

A cat, another cat. Can you call it Isla? And when people say, Isla, what a beautiful name, you'd be like, no, it's Isla. It's Isla. Yeah, it's definitely Isla. Isla, like the sizzler. Isla loves sizzlers.

Sizzler would be a good name for a cat. Do you know what? I was just trying to look around to think about, you know, like people always doing these wackadoo baby names. I'm surprised Sistema hasn't reached top of any of these lists. Yeah, I don't know. Sistema. That should be against the law.

Get it here, Sistema. Sissy. Next on the show. Or Carmex. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Well, Vaughn's not the only one in America. Not the only person repping New Zealand and America right now because Jacinda Ardern is, of course, over there

doing a big promotional sweep, I guess. Yeah. We're back open. She was talking to a lot of US senators, politicians today. She's doing the Harvard commencement speech tomorrow, which is a big deal. That is a big deal. Very exciting. But of course she popped on to see her mate,

they're only friends at this point, Stephen Colbert on his show. Like the fourth time she's been on? Third or fourth time? I think it was the third time. Yeah, the third time. She walks in, she looks gorgeous, she's got the American late night makeup going on. She looked great.

I think I sensed some lashes. Oh, really? Oh, okay. She was rocking it. They did sit down. And, of course, on the day that she was on the show in the U.S. was, tragically, the day of those horrible shootings that we've been reading about. Another one.

Another one. Absolutely devastating. I've been reading about it Another one. Another one. Absolutely devastating. I've been reading about it this morning and it's almost unbearable. But she, obviously the first thing he talked to her about was New Zealand's response to gun control immediately after the Christchurch mosque shooting. So that was a really great chat.

And then the conversation did turn lighter. They talked a little bit about Neve. Oh yeah, she gets a little briefcase. She gets a little briefcase. She gets a Prime Ministerial briefcase every day. Yeah, at the end of the day she gets to flick

through her notes and see what's happening in the country and da-da-da-da-da. And of course, Jacinda also used the opportunity to promote the fact

that New Zealand has direct flights to New York. Now, when I was down there in 2019, you and your fiancé, Clark, had just recently become engaged, but you still, because of COVID,

still have not been able to get married yet. Is this true? That is correct. We've had a number of postponements. Postponements, and I have not been down there to officiate as I offered. And that Clark, you said would be fine, and Clark said, we'll talk about it.

Well, actually, we talked about it. And, I mean, it's not a very professional invitation. I tore it out of it in Flight Magazine. It says, dear Stephen and Evelyn, please join us for our wedding. Date, TBC. To be confirmed? Correct.

Okay. But sometime after nonstop flights from New York to Auckland starting September 17th, 2022. Okay. Please, no gifts. Clark's, uh... Clark's still a bit funny about the engagement present. Clark's still a bit funny about the engagement present you gave us. Clark's still a bit funny about the engagement present.

What did I give you? You gave us matching Mr. and Mrs. glasses. Oh, that's right. I gave you the cocktail glasses, yeah. Which had my full title on it. And... LAUGHTER Mrs. Prime Minister of New Zealand and Mr.

So, amazing. That audience, he gets like millions of viewers a night. Millions. And like he is obsessed with not only Jacinda, like he loves Jacinda, Jacinda Ardern, as he calls her. He really hits the R. But loves New Zealand, loves Lord of the Rings. Loves New Zealand.

So it was a good, it was a bloody good little promotional thing to get the Americans over because we love to have them, don't we? Yeah, great crowbarring. Great crowbarring in of the direct flights too. The direct flights from, and they're long, eh?

Like, are they going to be like 18 hours? I can't, I can't. I need to work myself back up because I haven't travelled for so long. I need to do like, to an Invercargill, then to an Australia. And then what, just to build up your match kind of fitness? Maybe a Bali, then maybe a Thailand,

then maybe a London, and then maybe a New York. Well, someone that's did a, what, 12 hour flight on Tuesday night, Vaughn, is in Disneyland, at Disneyland for Star Wars celebrations. We're going to catch up with him next. On tomorrow's podcast, a legend from a galaxy far, far away,

Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hello there. Well, the guy that plays him in the new Disney Plus series, at least. In an NZ exclusive, Ewan McGregor is on the podcast. Yeah, Kenobi. Tomorrow, play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. 26 minutes away from Seven World,

you can experience the six-part streaming event, Obi-Wan Kenobiobi double episode premiering this Friday only on Disney+. And he's back, Ewan McGregor. He's on the show on Friday and currently in Los Angeles celebrating Star Wars at Disneyland. He joins us via the magic of cell phone technology.

Vaughn Smith. Hello. Hi, everybody. Look, you're at Disneyland. Yeah, do you want me to, like, temper my excitement and say, oh, yeah, it's okay, or do you want me to give you the full-blown, I have tears in my eyes?

I think be real. I can hear the quality in your voice, Vaughn. You enjoy it in your heart. I'll be real with you. We walked into Disneyland and went straight to Galaxy's Edge, the Star Wars part. Chewbacca was there, and a little kid hugged Chewbacca, and then I was like, I want to do that too.

So I hugged Chewbacca too, and it was nice. Did you cry? Have you cried yet? I had tears in my eyes. I've been overwhelmed a couple of times. Not like full-blown crying, but like a lot. And some First Order troopers called me a rebel-looking scumbag. And that, like, brought tears to my eyes as well.

And then I got to, I've just, I've made my lightsaber. I made a lightsaber. And when it lit up for the first time, there was tears in my eyes again. I don't need your judgment. I'm an emotional man today. It's a lot. It's a lot. It's the time difference.

It's jet lag. All the other excuses. Is your lightsaber quite cool, or did you make sort of like a real, like, Kiwi home economics looking one? I went for the most Kiwi looking home economics one I could. Yeah, like, I went for a rough-looking lightsaber. Okay. And then, so, what do you do with the lightsaber now?

Do you just take it home and... Find the bad guys with it? Duh, come on. Wow. What's in store this afternoon, Vaughn? What's next? At 12.30, I'm making a droid. So I'm going into the little,

it's like where we made the lightsabers, except you get to make a little companion droid. That's really cool. I'm going to go on all these rides. And I already had a photo with Mickey Mouse. And I've seen Chip and Dale. And I'm a Jodie Duffel. I said, hello, Jodie. and she waved at me too.

Jesus. Wow. So I can hear the happiness in your voice. I'm very, very, very, very happy. Overwhelmed with happiness. Right. It's the happiest place on earth. Have you bought any other, like, souvenirs?

No, not yet. I haven't seen any white M&Ms for you. Do you know what producer Jared asked me to bring back? What? Has he told you? No. Tide pots. The guy wants laundry detergent as a gift.

What is wrong with him, eh? Can't you get those here, but just called something else? See, just laundry pots. Apparently not. Apparently nothing beats an American Tide Pod. Jared, are you eating these? I'll ask him. Are you eating these Tide Pods?

No, the middie's birthday is coming up and she really likes them. Oh, my God. No, Jared, no. Why does she like them? You are going to get dumped if you buy your girlfriend Tide Pods for her birthday. You cannot buy a woman Tide Pods for her birthday. You cannot buy a woman Tide Pods for a birthday. She specifically asked for them. She's asked for them.

She's asked for them. No, no, no. When she said, it's code. Jared, it's code for a diamond ring. Don't listen to her. She's playing you.

All right. You're a silly boy. We'll let you get back to experience the magic of Disneyland and catch up with you soon, Vaughn. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I've really

scraped the surface of the sorts of people that are staying in my hotel for Star Wars Celebration Day. Like, you know how nerdy I am about Star Wars? Yep. These guys are like a thousand times crazier. Like, there was a mini cosplay get-together

in the foyer of the hall of the hotel last night. It was insane. I'm loving it. Cool. And there's a reason Hayley and I aren't on this trip, eh? We would have just disappeared to Disneyland somewhere and just left you at Nerdland.

You're a judgmental a-hole is what you are. I've found my people and I'm never coming home. Give them some good news. Give them some good news. Then give so much bad news out there that when we do give you some bad news, we want to surround it with good news, like a shit sandwich.

They call it in management, don't they? It's a real shit sandwich. But I tell you what, finding the bad news was not hard today. And in fact, the news everywhere is so bad that we've actually had to pull it back. So it's good, good, kind of bad, good. Yeah, let's not get too depressed here. You know what's happening in the world, we don't need to remind you. Yeah.

Would you like to start with some good news then? I'm going to start with what I believe to be the best news. Okay. So there is a lovely dog called Ginger who lives in Janesville, Wisconsin in the United States. Now, what is it? It's like one of those big kind of roddy, like, muscly dogs. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Like, they look jacked, like they're on roids. Like they're on the roids. Yeah. So Sweet is a Sweet Sweet Pup Ginger. Five years ago, because they're quite a desirable breed, was stolen from her property. And they put up all the police stuff and they were like, where's our beautiful dog, Ginger?

And nothing. Nothing came of it and they had footage of someone coming onto their property and stealing this dog. And so they were like, the dog's stolen. R.A.P. They mourned and they moved on. Let's jump forward five years later. Oh wow.

Where beautiful little Ginger was handed into the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin. And then they posted on their Facebook page, this dog's just been handed in. We don't know who the owner is. Was it not microchipped? Somehow, I'm not sure if it was microchipped. Somehow it made its way through the internet.

And this family saw it and went, no, that's not Ginger. That's a ripped Ginge. That's a ripped Ginge. And then they were reunited five years. Oh, wow. After little Ginger was stolen. And they're very happy. I would have remembered them, eh?

Do you know what's bad, though, is that five years of a dog's life, especially one of this breed, is most of its life. Oh, yeah. So I feel like that was slightly robbed of some of the prime years, but hey, what they've got left with ginger, they're delighted to have. So that's my good news.

Okay, I've got some good news. Two in three people believe that drones will be delivering their takeaways by 2027. And that's good news for me because who doesn't love a drone landing in your backyard with a pad thai or, you know,

a burger... It won't try to land in my backyard at any point. You're saying that when you're hungover, you wouldn't like a drone landing in your backyard

with a butter chicken, with naan. I truly... I mean, I hate to say this and I really don't want to encourage people trying to find my house, but I'm often nude

in the backyard, which is why we're constructing a mega fence. really don't want to encourage people trying to find my house, but I'm often nude in the backyard, which is why we're constructing a mega fence. I don't want drones coming in there. Yeah, because they get the bird's eye view, don't they? Yeah, and that's not my angle. You know what I mean? I've got to work some angles. Nobody's angle is bird's eye view,

right? Can you take this photo, can you just do it bird's eye view, because that's my good side. Yeah. I mean I would love a little easy delivery service but is this just people like hypothesising or is it actual data? Yeah it is but then also that people are working on it you know food delivery companies are putting a lot of money, not even food delivery like Amazon putting a lot of money into drones and tech to get these deliveries happening. I often Uber Eats a curry, and what if it slipped,

and then curry is falling 100 metres from the sky? And landing on you while you're nude sunbathing. It could be nice. The lawsuits in America will be a plenty. The bad news for good, good, bad, good. Okay, here's the bad news. Overnight, prices of passports has jumped up. And apparently, further increases are coming over the next two years. So it jumped up overnight. A 10-year adult passport is now costing $199. That's up from $191.

It's a small jump. But they do say, oh, and the children's passport has jumped from $111 to $19. That's up from $191. It's a small jump, but they do say, and the children's passports jump from $111 to $115, and theirs are obviously only usable for five years because you change so much as a kid. And as an adult, I just don't age for 10 years. Yeah. And then again, they're going to be increasing on May 25th, 2023 to $206 for an adult passport and $120 for kids. And then again, May 25th, 2024, they're going to be increasing to $215 and $125 for kids.

I've just looked at mine and mine expires 2026. But this is a big problem apparently people have been finding with the pandemic. People haven't been travelling for a couple of years. They book a flight somewhere and then they realise their passport's expired. And like in the UK at the moment, there's a massive backlog of like half a million people still waiting.

Are you just checking yours now? I'm just checking mine. I am checking mine. But I think that mine is, I only got it a couple of years ago. So'm just checking mine. I am checking mine. But I think that mine is, I only got it a couple of years ago. So you'll be fine. You've got another like eight years left. Here it is. It expires

2029. Oh, that's actually bad though because then when you do your photo again, there's going to be a huge difference. I also want to say, if I can just hold this up to my Zoom, I'm gorgeous in my passport photo. Oh yeah, you kind of look like a European spy in that. I do, but I also want to say, if I can just hold this up to my Zoom, I'm gorgeous in my passport. Oh yeah, you kind of look like a European spy in that. I do, but I've got like

a little smile on just to try to trick the criminals into trusting me and coming into my hotel room. So for our final good news, good good, bad good, we're going to forget about that passport price increase. We go to Carween today at the social media desk

who has some good news. She really wanted to give us this good news. So it better be good. This is the best news, guys. Okay, what is it? A throwback to my childhood personally. Cody Simpson, Australian singer, has made it into the Commonwealth Games

to represent Australia. I remember this. Yeah, we clap. Yeah, we clap. Okay, we clap. Yes. How long was he with Miley for? A year? Yeah, maybe like a year.

It wasn't very long. Yeah. If that. And then he was like, I'm going to be in the Olympics. And everyone was like, you're a pop star. Yeah.

Calm down. What was his song, Carween? Um. Aye, aye, aye, aye. Every time that I'm away. Really good. Thank you so much. That was really good.

No, so he used to do swimming before he became a pop star. Right. Gave it up. He doesn't do freestyle, eh? What's his swim? Butterfly. Oh, my God. The coolest.

Oh, that's a hard one. That one is the worst one. That's when you look the most awkward in the pool. I feel like that's the one that least people were going for, too. Yeah, well. Like, I'm not saying I could do any better at all. Like, I couldn't beat him. Because he's been training hard.

Good on him. Yeah, since the pandemic. Jumped in the backyard pool and was like, why not? Well, great news. I remember watching a small doco on this with Cody Simpson when he was dating Miley Cyrus and everyone was like, you're a joke, like you're a washed up pop star and da-da-da-da. And he was like, I don't care what you say,

I'm going to go to the Olympics. And now he's done. He's done it. Well, he's going to the Commonwealth Games. There you go. Some good news, good news, little bit bad news, and some good news. Play.

ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, there's Lizzo rocking the flute. And as a lover of brass and wind instruments, I don't really see what the big deal is. But apparently Carween at the social media desk has an issue with a local saxophone, Carween. Yeah, so my neighbour yesterday decided to wake me up from my precious, precious nap post-show.

You're post-COVID? Yes, yeah. I was exhausted after the show yesterday. Took a nap and instead was woken up by the beautiful tones of a saxophone. Oh, no. Who's still playing the saxophone? Like Lisa Simpson and no one else. No, the saxophone's sexy.

The saxophone's sexy. Is it? It was like having Lisa Simpson right next door. And you know what? My windows of our house are very thin, so it sounded like he was standing next to me, playing into my ear as I slept. You don't bang on the wall?

No, because he was outside in their backyard. He wouldn't have been able to hear me. No, you can't play an instrument in the backyard. Right? In the middle of the day? You play it in your house if you must, but in the back, no, you don't go in a backyard. Oh, and I could see him from my window.

He was sitting on the little porch. He looked like he was having a wonderful time and it went on for two hours. Two hours of sax. In his defense, though, he probably wasn't expecting someone to be sleeping at what time? Lunchtime. Yeah, lunchtime.

Was he any good? Incredible. Yeah, don't get me wrong, incredible. But it was just very loud. And in your backyard, I thought that was a bit strange. Yeah. Is there a version of the saxophone, like, you know, the drums where you just do the pads and put headphones on?

Is there a version of that? I think you can mute them like you can with, like, trumpets and trombones. You can put a muter in the end, but you can still hear it. Yeah. I mean, he probably thought that he was just, like, blessing our ears, and he was, but I needed to sleep. Well, I reckon today you'll get a nap because it'll probably be raining. It's raining from like 11.

But what if he sits under the veranda? Oh, he's got a veranda? Yeah. Maybe it'll be that sideways rain. Let's hope. That'd get in your trumpet, wouldn't it? Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping to wheel my upright piano out onto our back deck

and give everyone a bit of a concert. Right. Bagpipes too? Bagpipes as well, of course. I'm learning. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Oh, people are silly sometimes, aren't

they? So some British tourists were out and about touring around and they wanted to take a trip down to North Wales. Okay. This was only a few days ago and when they got to this beautiful sort of like seaside-y

spot, they were having a struggle finding a car park in the car park. And then they noticed this sort of ramp heading down and leading sort of closer to the water so they thought... Like a boat ramp? Yeah, that's like a grassy patch. There's a grassy patch at the edge

and they were like, okay, well we'll just park there closer to the har at the edge. And they were like, okay, well, we'll just, we'll park there, like next, near, closer to the harbour. Okay. And then everyone apparently around them was being like, dude, don't park there. The tide's going to change. Don't park there.

Oh, no. And he was like, look, I can't find a park anywhere else. This one's fine. It's going to be all right. Well, I bet you can guess what happened. Yes. This tourist and his family went off and did whatever they did. And meanwhile, their car was slowly but surely sinking as the tide came in.

The best part about it is because they had been warned by locals that this would happen, they didn't do anything about it. So apparently a small crowd gathered to watch as the car slowly filled with water and then eventually sunk. Like completely sunk. Right, until low tide, I'm guessing. Until low tide, I guess. Then the guy comes back at high tide

and everyone's just like, dude, we told you so. Yeah, I know, there hasn't got a leg to stand on. Yeah, so this car was absolutely written off because it had been underwater for a long time, like you say, basically the tide went out and they could get it, they could pull it out. It took only 15 minutes for the car to

totally sink, which was enough time for, yes, a small crowd to gather and watch and enjoy the sights. Oh, is there a video of it slowly submerging on that news article? There is a small video of it happening, but there's so many photos of just, like, locals standing by, you know, arms folded, going, oh, that's unfortunate.

And then there is a tractor, a local farmer came and brought his tractor to try to pull out this car. This happens on New Zealand beaches all the time with tourists or just people that don't understand tides. Tides. There are two things that are guaranteed in life, taxes and tides. And death. And death.

Three things. Well, I'm trying to fight that, but it's for another day. You're hoping to live forever because you don't believe in death. Yeah. There's no detail on whether or not the car was like heavily insured. Oh, yeah. Okay. I wanted to pose this to the people.

This is just so stupid and so avoidable. I wanted to know when did your car pay the price of you being a dum-dum? Yeah, so anything. You made a choice and that meant your car ended up either destroyed or

damaged? Damaged badly. It's like the time that I got stuck in a Westfield building for three hours and I was like, what's happened? And someone had driven their van in and wedged it between the roof and the floor. Didn't you hear from that person? Yeah, I did because I talked about it on radio and then they were like, sorry. That was me that wedged my van into a Westfields. Sorry I delayed your day.

So 0800-DARLS-NM is the number. We want you to give us a call or a text 9696 Tell us when your car paid the price for you being a dum-dum. We want to know when you being a real dum-dum mean your car was damaged or broken

or sunk A British tourist parked his car really close to the harbour because he couldn't find a car park in the car park. And of course, his car sunk. It was swallowed by the tide. Swallowed by the tide. Yeah.

So when did your car pay the ultimate price for your stupidity, basically? Indeed. We've got some messages from Instagram. Hayley says, brand new car and I hand washed it with love. Turns out the brush scratched my entire car. That is so. Oh, can you like buff that out somehow?

I guess it depends on how deep it is. But like if it's your whole car. I did that with my fridge and the cloth was like a little bit scratchy and it did the whole panel. I was like, cool. When you say your cloth was a little bit scratchy, did you try to clean your new fridge with a steel loaf?

No, it's one of those green, you know those green ones? Microfiber, yeah. Yeah, and it's got little tiny scratches that you can't really tell, but you can in the right light and it annoys me. I'm going to need a whole new fridge now.

Tessa said there was a spider on the steering wheel that led me to cause a three new fridge now. Tessa said there was a spider on the steering wheel that led me to cause a three-car pileup. That's terrible. I've crashed my car because a MOTH flied in. You hate moths? I used to have such a bad thing with them and I did have a little crash on the motorway. Alex said I crashed it.

I was in the middle of a car sandwich because I was dancing too hard to Shakira. She does that. She would be one of the artists most likely to cause accidents. It's probably the biggest cause of accidents. Yeah, not chill music. Bex says, going through the car wash with the windows down for fun. Hashtag teenage things.

No. No, because a lot of water comes out of those things. A lot of technology in the car. Budai says, drove into a parked car at the panel beaters after my car was freshly fixed. I guess I'll just leave this here, shall I? Leave it here again, shall I? Yeah, Holly, so what happened? When did your car pay the price for you being a dum-dum? It wasn't actually me that was being a dum-dum. It was my ex-partner. Oh, okay. And what happened? When did your car pay the price for you being a dum-dum? It wasn't actually me that was being a dum-dum.

It was my ex-partner. Oh, okay. And what happened? So he and his best friend were staying at our house and they thought it would be a fun idea to go and do some donuts in the estuary. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. So they didn't time it very well

and they ended up getting their car stuck in the sand and not long after that, their car stuck in the sand. And not long after that, the tide came in. Yeah, yeah. Okay, estuaries quite soft, aren't they? Oh, very, very much so. So they drove to the wrong spot, obviously. I didn't know that all of this had happened. And did they have insurance?

Nope, no insurance I found out from the neighbours that they had gone down to the estuary So I made my way down there And I see that a really nice crowd has gathered A few people are sitting around just watching, making themselves comfortable Oh yeah And a few of the locals were in there with their big four-wheel drives and their winches as well trying to help get the car out,

but it was too late. Wow. And so that was a write-off. That car was gone. Oh, completely gone. It was no-saving it. Yes. I think if I was at the beach or an estuary and this,

I'd pull up a seat and a couple of drinks and watch this. Popcorn? Yeah, definitely. And by that point there was nothing that I could do either so I just made myself comfortable as well and sat and watched. Yes. That would actually be a great YouTube channel, like the tide and, you know,

covering things. Enveloping cars. Enveloping cars and things people have left. Oh, really with me. Yeah. Holly, thanks. You called some more messages in. Someone said, when I was younger a few mates got on the turps and sent my car into the lake on purpose. Ha ha, thanks, guys. Not insured.

You've got to get new friends. Yeah, that's terrible. A few years ago, I watched some tourists decided to park lakeside in Lake Tekapō. They got stuck in the mud. My dad went over to help me, asked dad with a RAV4 to help get them out, but they couldn't find the hook underneath. So they insisted that dad pull it out by the tire on the back door.

Dad said no, but you know Germans. So dad obliged. Next minute, back door completely gone. Oh, wow. Removed. My auntie turned her single car garage into a double car garage by slipping off the brake onto the accelerator and going straight through the wall.

Oh, wow. Okay. Opens it right up. Oh, yeah. A few people saying I accidentally put my car into reverse instead of drive, of course. Had to get a whole new engine because I didn't know

what the little oil light meant. Oh, I've done this before. I have done this before when I was really young and I would take my car to the mechanics and be like, it's broken down

or whatever, or like call a tow and they're like, you haven't put oil in this in years, lady. So many messages of really dumb things. Oh no,

I can't say that one on there. I was going on a Macca's Mish with my mates in my four-wheel drive and I was filling up with fuel, talking to my friends. It hit $100 and I thought, I've never put $100 in before. I realised

I was putting in $100 of petrol into my diesel car. And that's expensive because you've got to clean the whole system. Well, you've got to get that Mr. Sucky guy to come. Mr. Sucky? With his petrol vacuum cleaner and suck it out. I don't know if that guy knows that his name is Mr. Sucky. It is, it is.

All right, thank you for your amazing text messages. This is why it'd be great to work in an insurance company. So many people don't get insurance because they're like, it's a waste of time. If there's one insurance you should get, let it be car. Yeah, 100%. On tomorrow's podcast, a legend from a galaxy

far, far away. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hello there. Well, the guy that plays him in the new Disney Plus series at least. In an NZ exclusive, Ewan McGregor is on the podcast. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Tomorrow, play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. Joining us from Disneyland in the midst of Star Wars celebrations,

Vaughn Alan Smith, the happiest man on Earth right now, you'd say. He's a very happy boy. He did all his chores and ate all his vegetables and he got taken to Disneyland. Vaughan, how many people are there? Is it packed? Is it really busy? Yeah, it's really, really busy. Like, I came to Disneyland in 2008

and I'd say it's busier now than it was last time I came. Oh, that's good. So in the middle of a pandemic, it's busy. Dude, no one is wearing a mask. Me and Stacey, who works for Disney, are the only people wearing masks. Wow. Are people looking at you like...

I think people think... Yes, I think they think we're sick. I think people without the mask think we're wearing masks because we're sick, but we're not. That's good. It's the people who aren't wearing masks that are doing all the coughing. Oh, no, that's good that people think you're sick

because they'll probably try to stay away from you. They'll be like, oh, he's obviously got COVID. And then in turn, you're safe. Yeah, give me a white shirt. Yeah. Yeah. It's awesome. Run us through your day so far.

You've had a hug with Chewbacca. You've had a little tear. Yeah, I had a little tear. I saw Chewbacca when I first arrived and a little kid was hugging him and I said, I think I want to hug him too. And then a little kid said, is Chewbacca vaccinated? And Chewbacca nodded. So he was all good for a hug. Wow. I don't know if Wookiees need twice the amount of, I'm not sure how you vaccinate a Wookiee to be honest. I don't know how it would get through his fur, that tiny little neck.

Yeah. Well, I guess it's like when you take a cat to the vet, right, they shave a little spot so they can get that clear active skin. Oh, how embarrassing for Chewbacca to have like a bald spot. I know. Chewbacca's neck. Yeah, I don't know where he'd choose to get the little ball spot shave. So, tugs of chew butter, a special Galaxy's Edge breakfast wrap for breakfast. And even though we're not, we're at Galaxy's Edge, the string cheese was very American-tasting.

Oh, wow. Okay. The string cheese for breakfast, that's healthy. Then we did Rise of Resistance, which is like the latest ride to be added to Galaxy's Edge, and it was insane. I would say if you're coming, you have to buy a special lightning pass. So I sent you guys a video of the line first thing in the morning, right?

Yeah. I sent it through, it was like 25 seconds, and I didn't capture all of the line on video, whereas we had a lightning special pass, and we just literally scanned it and walked straight into the ride. And that didn't cost you much, eh? That was like not much. No, $20 American.

But, I mean, yeah, if you're here with your whole family, that certainly adds up. But I'm not. I'm by myself, and people keep messaging me on Instagram saying, how did you go to Disney World and not take your children? And I'm like, hey, I'm working here, not. I'm by myself and people can text me on Instagram saying, how did you go to Disneyland and not take your children? And I'm like, hey,

I'm working here, guys. I'm working here. I think you wouldn't give your kids any attention anyway if you were there. You'd be too excited.

I'd just be like, keep an eye out for where I'm headed and just try to keep up. That would be my advice to my children if they were here. to Sade at all

or maybe she'll be listening and hearing what a great time you're having as she's getting the girls ready for school and making them breakfast and a whole lot more? Yeah. I don't want to bog myself down with details of what's happening back home, but I'd imagine, yeah. I was not trying to say that. Wow.

Okay, so what's the plan for the rest of Star Wars celebrations? Well, I'm about to go and make a droid at the droid-making workshop, after which I will have a new best friend in the form of a droid, and I will also have a lightsaber because I went to the lightsaber-making workshop earlier and made a lightsaber.

Look at Hayley's face. I was fully nerding out. Where are they going to be situated in your home? What are you going to do with them? Pride of place. Yeah. Pride of place. I don't know, maybe in the middle of the lounge.

I hope Sade is listening and is knowing your plans of bringing home a droid and a lightsaber to take pride of place in the lounge. Decorative, absolutely decorative. So, yeah, and we haven't even scratched the surface of the Star Wars celebration. And last night I was at R2-D2. I was just walking through the foyer and R2-D2 was there.

So I had a photo with R2-D2 because, of course, I did. And everybody that's coming for Star Wars celebration is pretty much staying in the hotel I'm in and the hotel over the way, the Marriott and the Hilton, and I just have a row between them. And last night, there was like this impromptu cosplay

down in the foyer of all these people who were saying, oh, we haven't seen each other since before the pandemic. And they were all like dressed up as different characters from Star Wars and trading Star Wars things. And I just,

I did some great people watching, that's for sure. It was just insane. You didn't join in? You didn't try to chuck together an outfit? Well, I didn't bring anything. I should buy, I should get fully kitted out at Disneyland today. Again, if Sade's listening, this is my new formal attire, the cosplay I'll be getting from Disneyland today.

Just ignore the charges on the credit card for the next day. It's a shame you've had all that laser hair removal because Chewbacca would have been an easy one. Oh, totally easy. That would have been a beautiful outfit. All right, we'll let you get back to your Star Wars celebrations at Disneyland Vaughan. Yeah, we'll cross to you later.

We're happy for you. We're happy for you. We are happy for you, yeah. Good, I'll send you guys some more photos that you'll totally care about. Oh, thank you, please do. Yeah, yeah. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.

Now, earlier this morning, Fletch, you had a hard time with the Wellington suburb C-Toon. Well, only because the news story had a D after it. And I was like, that's C-Toon, right? Not C-Toon-ded. Or if it had a D after it, because C-Toon is spelled S-E-A-T-O-U-N, it would be C-Towned? Like round?

C-Towned. C-Towned. Yeah, I knew it was a typo.A-T-O-U-N, would it be sea-towned? Like round? Sea-towned. Yeah, I knew it was a typo. Sea-toon. Anyway. Yesterday morning, a strange sight in the suburb of Sea-toon. So if you don't know Sea-toon in Wellington, it's

I mean, it's an ooh-la-la suburb. Is it? Oh, it's a little ooh-la-la. But it has a very small tunnel leading into it and out of it. Is it the bus tunnel? Which one's the bus tunnel? No, no, no, that's not Vic. Oh, yeah, okay, okay. C-Tune is closer, like keep going past Miramar.

It's a wee whiles away. Okay. It's got a little tunnel out of it, and people woke up yesterday morning morning and there was a zebra crossing painted right in the middle of it leading to nowhere. Because you can't walk through there, right? There's a little side walkway bit like there is in the Mount Vic tunnel. Right.

But it's up. So it's not on the actual road. Whereas the road that has yeah now got a zebra crossing in the middle which honestly the moment I see a zebra crossing I guess because I'm a good girl I slow down a little bit. If I was like entering the C2 tunnel as I do

you know if I was someone who drove it every day you'd be like what? And you'd just slow down a little bit. Yeah. But it's a real wonky hand painted. It looks like someone's got a house paint roller and just gone with like white paint like this. Anyway, everyone was like, that's confusing.

And then people in Northland were like, hey, we've got this too. So Northland is also a suburb in Wellington, further north, surprisingly. Yeah. And they have a small tunnel that goes into Northland is also a suburb in Wellington, further north, surprisingly. Yeah. And they have a small tunnel that goes into Northland and they've got one in there as well. And they've just popped up overnight.

And it's a wonky hand-painted one as well in the middle of the tunnel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the gap, it's not equidistant. Oh, yeah. You know, the lines are not equidistant. That's a real pain to look at, that one. And so there's no explanation. No one's claimed it.

We do have reason to believe this is not the work of Banksy. Unless he's, well, the borders are open now, but I feel he's a lot more clever. He would paint the pedestrian crossing on the ceiling. I know. And if Banksy is here, I'll question what he's doing in Northland. He should be in Queenstown. It's beautiful this time of year, I tell you what.

Anyway, so the Wellington City Council, a spokesperson said, this is not us. One, this is not us. Two, don't get out and walk across it. You're not supposed to be walking in those tunnels. No. And that they will be removing them when it is safe to do so without impacting traffic during peak times.

They must have done this at like, you know, in the two, three o'clock hours. Because there's no way that that would have dried in time. There's so many dangerous tunnels in Wellington. And yeah, you'd have to do it at a time where there was like not a lot going on. Because there's no paint streaks. Yeah, there's no like streaks through the paint, you know, when it's been drying. No, exactly. And people drive

all the time. Like there's always traffic and there's always like some car. So yeah, there is no line where like a car's done it. So they must have done it at like, yeah, two or three on a Tuesday night or something. And it's dried quickly. Yeah. So I don't know how you remove paint from concrete,

but that's what they're going to do. So if you're driving through Seatown, Seatoon, now I'm struggling, Seatoon or Northland, you don't have to stop for that zebra crossing. No. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. You know when you're like in the supermarket and you've got your list and then you get to what it is

and then you've got to make a decision like do I want that one or that one? And then you're like, ah, this is an easy decision. But then your brain goes, no. And then you can't make the decision and you stand there for ages.

And then ultimately what I do is I just don't buy it because it's too hard to figure out. Because there's too many options. Yeah, or like it's the same when you're scrolling through Netflix and then you go, I don't know what to watch.

So I'm just going to go to bed because I can't even face this decision. Or we're on Uber Eats and I can't decide what to eat. So we'll just have toast because I can't deal with this. This is a thing. And it is called choice paralysis.

Okay. And it's basically when the mind becomes overwhelmed as you add more and more choices. So if someone said to you, Fletch, I'm going to get some Thai food. Yeah. You'd be like, oh, well, even if you didn't want Thai, you'd be like, I had Thai a couple of days ago,

but sure, I'll have that. The moment I then go, oh, do you want to get Indian? Suddenly your brain goes, oh, well, Indian would be nice. Yeah, or pizza. Do you feel like a curry? What about pizza? Okay, pizza. And now suddenly more and more and more

until you literally become paralyzed by the choice that you can't do anything. You're paralyzed. Yeah. It is a phenomenon, according to therapists, that they say that the brain becomes obviously overwhelmed when you add these decisions. There are certain personality types.

I am one, I believe. Yeah. That are more prone to this indecisiveness. But apparently there are things you can do to shake the paralysis and just get the box of pasta and go home. You can remind yourself that there's no such thing as the perfect decision. Does it matter? Like, we're going to get Thai food.

You're eating. You're not going to be hungry. You're eating. It doesn't matter. You can get Indian next time and then pizza the time after that. And if the Thai food's not that good, yeah, you're well fed. It's not that important.

Differentiate between small decisions and big decisions. So big decisions, shall we have a baby? Small decisions, shall we have Thai or Indian? Yeah, yeah. It's basically like waking yourself up to this is not that important. If you have time, just depending on the decision, I don't know that this is a supermarket friendly one,

but it's make a pros and cons list. But if you've got a big supermarket, if you've got a big shopping list, it's going to add a lot of time. You're going to be at the supermarket a long time. But we do these days, we have so much choice for everything. I know. It's like when you, have you ever been like,

you know, people rave about In-N-Out Burger when you, have you ever been, like, you know, people rave about In-N-Out Burger in America. Have you ever been there and there's like literally three different burgers you can get? Like that's it? And it's quite refreshing because you're like,

oh, I've just got to get kind of like a small, medium or a large one and there's like two different options. You're like, oh, that's kind of done for me. There's less choice. Yeah. This is why, you, that's kind of done for me. There's less choice. Yeah. This is why, you know, listening to the radio is good because we choose the music for you.

So don't bother going on to some music streaming app, whatever it may be, with infinite music choice. Music has been around for thousands of years. There's too much to choose. We'll choose it for you. But that does happen as well. You open up, like you say, like when you open up Netflix or whatever streaming, you're just like, well, what do I want to listen to?

I want to listen to a podcast. There's so much and there's so many. I want to listen to a podcast. And you're like, I want to listen. I want to learn something. I want to listen to an educational podcast. And then you put it on, you're like. I don't want.

That's a bit heavy. That's a bit dense, actually. Maybe I want to listen to some true crime. And then you put it on, you're like, I don't want. That's a bit heavy. That's a bit dense, actually. Maybe I want to listen to some true crime. Oh, that's a bit dark. Maybe I'll just sit in silence and listen to my own dark thoughts. There is way too much choice. Yeah. Well, there you go.

Some tips to overcome it. Yes. And remember that any decision is better than no decision. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. ZM's Retro Petrol Time Machine. ZM's Retro Petrol Time Machine. Our Retro Petrol Time Machine

Hi, morning. How are you guys? Really, really good. You've got the petrol light about to go on. Yeah, pretty much. I'm like literally one line above the bigger line

before the E if that makes any sense. So I'm literally going to fill fuel on my way home from work today. Oh, okay. Well, let's see how much fuel we can work today. Let's see how much fuel we can give you. Let's jump in the retro petrol time machine.

1993. Oh my god, banger. Absolute banger. I would try and sing but I don't want to ruin the song. I want to hear you sing it. Hit that note. No, thanks. I'll save your ears.

Nobody can hit those high notes like Whitney. All right, 1993, a tank of petrol today, the average tank at today's prices, costs $148. So in 1993, a full tank would have cost you, the average tank, $48. Yep. Also in 1993, Pete Davidson, born. Yeah. Ariana Grande, born.

And that horrendous film, I don't know if you've ever seen this, Coneheads. Do you remember Coneheads? I feel like I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever watched it. It's a horrendous film. I don't know if you've ever seen this. Cone Heads? Do you remember Cone Heads? I feel like I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever watched it. It's terrifying. Don't. It'll haunt your dreams. All right. Well, we're going to top up the rest.

We've got $100 free fuel locked in. Oh, amazing. Because that's the difference yesterday and today's prices. But we have a chance for you to double or nothing. Now, this kid, I have a question. This kid, this question is easy. I think this is easy. Go double or nothing, because

this question you should definitely know. Okay, why not? Let's just double or nothing. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, here we go. What 1993 film had Robin Williams dressed up as an old lady so he could nanny his kids? Oh, this is a very tough one, but I believe it's Mrs Doubtfire.

Yes! Okay, well, there you go, Nicole. Congratulations. Thank you so much, guys. You've literally made my day. $200. $200. All thanks to Gull.

Next on the show, what I saw somebody wearing at the gym yesterday, which we need to outlaw. Was it those diaper pants that look like you've got a saggy bum? No, not those.

Yesterday at the gym, I saw a man, a fully grown man, wearing those toe shoes. Do you know these things? I do, I do. It's the shoes where your toes know these things? I do. I do. It's the shoes where your toes are individually kind of cut out and you slip your toes into these little five slots. Do they have a name?

Do we know what these? Toe shoes. Toe shoes? Are they like for rock climbing or something? I don't know what they're for. Like to grip the rock when you're climbing a rock? They really make me, and do you know, not only the gym, but I've seen people like walking down the main street wearing these.

Yeah. Maybe on their way to the gym. Some fact, because they were real like sporty. Oh, my God, I'm looking up photos, and I honestly want to throw up in my mouth. When they first came out and about, people were like, they're for sport, you know, it's like primal, running in bare feet, da-da-da-da.

And then fashion brands started doing it, like little moose knuckles on the feet, on the feet. Then their feet moose knuckles. Feet moose knuckles, like fashion. Oh, my God. Yeah, when you, do you think people with foot fetishes like these shoes? Or are they still too much shoe for a foot fetish? They want to see the toes.

They want to see it. But these, I've always had it. They creep me out. I don't know why. I don't have a problem with feet. I don't mind feet. They're not cheap either. They're like $240.

Anywhere between $180 and $240. And there's nothing to say that they're of any value. As soon as I Googled toe shoes, why toe shoes? The benefits of toe separation. The next article is they're not just ugly, they're bad for you. Like they are no good. Why do you need to go into the gym? What was he doing?

Was he climbing the walls? No, I think he was just doing the gym thing. I know, I was just like, I just could not deal. And I think they should be banned. You're not allowed to wear bare feet at a gym. If you drop a weight on these things. You can't

have an open toe shoe at the gym that we go to and this would absolutely shatter your toes, your separated toes. I just, I can't. I see them and something is so icky and creepy about them. I remember once seeing a well-known Shortland Street actor running down Ponsonby Road and he had toe shoes on and he stopped and talked to us

and I've never taken him seriously ever again. Who was it? I won't say. You can't just say on the 30th anniversary of Shortland Street. You can't just say... They're not on Shortland Street anymore. And they're a well-known New Zealand actor. Yes, but I won't say, I'm not going to say who it is

because I don't respect them anymore. I'm saying it because I don't want to embarrass them for wearing toe shoes, which is the most unacceptable thing I've ever heard of. Right. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. If people listening are going,

hey, toe shoes rule, man. They can call up and if they can convince us that toe shoes are cool, we'll give them a thousand bucks. Okay. I know you haven't been in radio long, but we don't just have $1,000 lying around. I am that convinced that I will never ever see the point

or the value in a toe shoe that I will pledge $1,000 of ZM's money. I can't see Anna's face right now. I'm broadcasting from home. Anna, do you just want to tell Hayley that we don't just have $1,000 lying around? This is not traditionally how budget approvals work. You don't really just sort of hope for the best and give it a punt.

I've gone rogue, and I've pledged it to the people. $1,000 this Thursday morning. Although I'm kind of on Hayley's side. I don't think anybody could convince me for $1,000 that toe shoes are worth wearing. No, no, no. So I think you might be on onto something here, Hayley. Because I'd be surprised if we even got a call from anybody

saying that they... I am open. I'm open to being converted to the world of toe shoe. And for that, I will give you $1,000. Well, Zeni will give you $1,000. Oh, God. If you can truly convince my soul

that toe shoes are not the worst things in the world. So you won't give them, yeah right so you'll give them money if they convince you but you don't think that's going to happen so it's a safe thousand dollars. They need to get me to the point where I'm going to, on my way to the shooting bake off, I'm going to stop past the

shoe shop and get myself a pair of size 10 women's toe shoes. Right. Okay. Well, if you can convince Hayley that toe shoes are worth wearing, and if she is convinced, she'll give you $1,000, but I wouldn't hold your breath. No, she won't. ZM will give you $1,000.

Right. I'm going to clarify. This is not coming out of my personal bank. Anna, you've got one song to find in the budget, $1,000. All $800 at M. If you can call up and convince Hayley that toe shoes are worth it, she'll give you $1,000. But she's got to be convinced. I do. And if it's her word,

you're the judge here. I want you to be truly convinced. You're truly convinced. And if you're not, they do not get $1,000. No. And I'm telling you what, it'll be hard. Okay. There are a lot of people calling the phone lines. We're going to come back next and take those calls and see if Hayley will

give someone $1,000. And by the looks of it, it will have to be out of your own pocket. So I don't know if you're going to have to remortgage your house here, but... Fine, I accept. Yesterday at the gym, I saw a man wearing toe shoes. Toe shoes. Unacceptable. We just said off air that Les Mills

needs to have a buzzer system Some kind of security camera That looks down at the shoes All gyms And denies entry You made a bold claim That you would give A thousand dollars

Of ZM's money To anybody That could convince you Hayley That toe shoes Were in any way A good idea I hope Ross Boss Isn't listening

He's like She's gone rogue I will. I pledge $1,000. If you can genuinely convince me in my soul, I have the website open. FiveFingerShoes-NZ.com Ready to

buy them if you convince me. And then we will transfer you $1,000 if you convince me that toe shoes are a good thing in the world. You just said you wanted to do a little vom though, looking at the toe shoes. As soon as I opened the website, I was like, I can't.

Somebody just texted in saying, should I say the school? I feel like that's a bit. No, I reckon say the school because that school is a little hippie. Somebody said one of the teachers at Onslow College in Wellington wears toe shoes every day. So maybe they're good,

and maybe they're good, like, circulation for teaching if you're on your feet all day. No, it's not. Would you consider that in your analysis? That was absolutely not. That's the same argument

that people had for Crocs. They were like, yeah, people wear them in kittens because they're good for your feet all day. They're cool now, aren't they? I know. Crocs, people are wearing those. Will joins us.

Good morning, Will. Good morning. Do you own... Oh, you've got big five-finger toe energy. I can feel it. Do you own a pair of these ghastly shoes? I do own three pairs of those ghastly shoes. Three pairs?

No! Why do you own three pairs of these abominations? I will start by saying I bought them in the States, where they are nothing like $200 and something dollars. They're significantly cheaper. Okay. You've got budget. They are surprisingly really, really comfortable.

I don't care if they feel like walking on Jesus' cloud. They are the most hideous things. I understand your feeling, and I'm fully aware that there's no way in hell you're going to give me $1,000. Do you see the looks that people give you, Will, when you're out in public wearing these? Oh, look, occasionally people would ask me about them. But, you know, the guys at the gym that I used to go to, they were quite interested in them. And look, there are a couple of benefits.

They're really light and easy when you go travelling. They take up no room in your suitcase. Right. You wear them when you're playing. No, I'd have them in... No. Travelling to Europe, they're a really light, easy pair to take with me if I'm exercising, running around or anything. You can walk around the beautiful streets of Venice in your toe shoes.

I didn't say that. I said exercising so I'm going for a run or something. It's unacceptable. But also... On behalf of the Italians, we say that. I said exercises while we're going for a run or something. It's unacceptable. On behalf of the Italians, we say no. One other thing, though. I will admit I'm not wearing it at the moment because I'm doing marathon training. Right. And because in the normal shoe, your toes get pushed together a little bit.

And I've got some black toenail issues, which I never had running with the M5 fingers, because your toes are more spread out and not scrunched in. It's actually really comfortable. But they're all encased in it. The moment you said spread out, that $1,000 went further and further away from you. That's the issue. It's the spreading.

Ah, right. So for you, Hayley, is that a no for the $1,000? Okay, unfortunately, yeah, well, we've got to let you know. I was under no illusions it was ever going to come my way. Well, you haven't done the argument any good. We're going to go to Aaron now. Aaron, good morning. Hey, guys.

Aaron, $1,000 is yours if you can convince Hayley that toe shoes are worth it. Okay, so, Hayley, what would you prefer? Would you have some weird shoes that you're not going to look at all day every day are worth it. Okay, so Hayley, what would you prefer? Would you have some weird shoes that you're not going to look at all day every day or some nasty foot fungus that smells all week long? I've actually shared on air my fungal issues on top of my foot. She's kind of proud of that.

And just a light cream, a light invisible cream that no one needs to know about and it clears it right up. You don't need to go and spend $200 on the ugliest things that have ever walked this earth to fix your fungal issues. I lived in Japan for a while, yeah?

And they are very normal. The socks are pretty common over there and they are stupid comfy. Wait, toe socks? Do you wear the toe socks and the toe shoes? Well, some people do, but I normally just wear the toe socks and they're comfy enough.

Oh, no, no, no. Do you own a pair of these finger toe shoes? I don't own a pair of the toe finger shoes. You can't speak on behalf of these people. But you wear the socks, though. I can speak on behalf of an entire nation that's been doing it for thousands of years. Oh, no.

Have you done the sex? Have you ever had the sex? The what? Is that a... I've got two kids and even then, mate. Okay, so yes. Okay, so they're not

like a contraceptive device, these toe shoes or toe socks. They're pretty close. No, no, no. I'm very potential on that side of the thing. Yeah, yeah.

Okay, Hayley, has this convinced you? Will Aaron be getting $1,000? Has he convinced you that toe socks, toe shoes are a thing? I don't think he's qualified enough to argue on half the shoes. Okay, so it's a no. Get out of here, Aaron. Get out of here. Thank you for trying.

Emily joins us. Good morning, Emily. Good morning. Emily, no. Okay, so, but hear me out. Okay, so they're really grippy, right? At the bottom. Have you ever been to a superhero party for a child?

No, I haven't. No, no. No? Well, you don't have nieces or nephews or anything like that? Okay. So, I had a friend that wore these to a superhero party dressed as Spider-Man, right? Yeah. And she walked up a rock

and the kids would have mind-blown it. And so this was a steep rock to be fair. So you're saying that Hayley should buy a pair of $200 toe shoes so that she can walk up slippery rocks You're saying that Hayley should buy a pair of $200 toe shoes. Yes, for any reason. So that she can walk up slippery rocks. And impress children. You're dressed as Spider-Man.

I left drama school over 10 years ago. I'm not doing kids' parties anymore. I'm doing all right for myself. I don't need to be coming off rocks. Imagine the smile on the children's faces, Hayley. You're preaching to the wrong choir because children have no interest to me. So, Hayley, this is a no for the $1,000 to Emily.

It was a good argument, but no, Emily. All right. Thank you, Emily. We're going to go to Dave last. This is the last chance for somebody to convince you that these shoes are worth it. And if Dave can do this, $1,000. Good morning, Dave.

G'day, hey. Nice to be talking to you all, Hayley. Oh, Dave. I mean, first out, straight out the gate, you've got a wonderful voice, Dave. You command respect. I'm ready to listen. Beauty.

I think we've sort of got the wrong approach to the whole game here. Okay. They're definitely a lot of sweet. Oh, Dave, you're cutting out. You're cutting out. You've got terrible phone reception. Are the shoes interfering with the 5G?

I think the shoes aren't interfering. Even 5G is going to run away from your feet. I've got my little aerials hanging out, sticking out, so that should work a bit better now. Okay, okay. I'm spreading my toes. Does that make the reception any better? It has actually.

I mean, you've repulsed Hayley with that comment, but it has made the reception better. Good. Okay, so the Hayley repulsion is the real issue between this going from really bad to cool, right? It is. I did jump onto the bus with the Vibram Five Fingers is the brand name. I know, I've been looking at them.

They make me want to chuck up my smoothies. On a bus. Oh, it's so the same. You know, I'm a conservative guy, and I went to the shop, but I was really sold by the idea of just getting back into nature, you know, and reconnecting Hayley to my animal side, you know. Does it make you feel like you're barefoot but you're not? Mate, it's more about how you flee your nostrils when you're out in the wild,

you know. So I'm hoping this is going to be a hit with the ladies, you know, because a lot of ladies go out with some ugly men, you know, and there's something about these ugly men that is just really appealing because they've got this sex appeal that is just oozing out of them. Oh, so you're subconsciously playing this ugly card because it's endearing, perhaps. Hayley, is this working for you?

No, no. No, it's the wrong number again. I'm not communicating. That's possibly because I'm not in front of you with my five fingers. I think your toes are all spread out. It's confusing you. It's not right. Your balance is all out.

I mean, Dave, look, I think you've put a worthy argument forward, the fight for the ugly man. I get it. Ugly's in vogue at the moment. Yep, yep, yep. It's not for me. It's a no? Ugly is wild.

It's more wild. Dave, you're out. You've been buzzed. Dave, just take your shoes off and go bare feet. I appreciate it, Dave. Good effort. You're the ugliest thing in the world, Dave. I have to agree. He tried, he tried and the truth comes out in the end.

The truth is revealed. Dave, thank you so much. Nobody getting the $1,000, Hayley. That turns out that was a... I'll close the tab, shall I? Because I'm not purchasing today. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. I'm doing the fact of the day This is a bit fun This is a bit fun isn't it With Vaughan and Disneyland Oh hey I'm Vaughan I love cutting down trees So today's fact of the day is About the shortest war in history

Right Wars famously last years Go on yeah forever of the day is about the shortest war in history. Right. Wars famously last years. Go on. Yeah, forever. Years and years and years and years. This one lasted 38 minutes. Oh, I thought you were about to say days. No, no.

38 red hot minutes. So this was when the British Empire, they were, I don't know if you remember in the 1800s, they were taken over. Oh, they were everywhere. They were like, this is ours now. This is mine, mine, mine, like a toddler. 1896, they were taking over Africa, East Africa specifically, and Zanzibar is really where they had their eyes for this war.

So that's what they were trying to do. They were trying to take over Zanzibar. The Sultan was like, no, no, no. And the British Empire was like, yes, yes, yes. And so a war ensued. Okay. They set up, you know, they were like, we're going to war with these people. And as promised, at 9am, the British Army, they attacked to try to take over.

Like after breakfast? Yeah, yeah. They had to get their fibre in. Like, wouldn't you do six to catch them by surprise? No, nine o'clock, lazy start, have a nice sleep in, get a nana in you. Okay. So 9am, they stormed the castle,

the main castle that they were trying to take over for the throne. And 38 minutes later, they ceased fire. Okay. No, I think they felt like they were done. They'd made their point. 500 casualties on one side. One British soldier had a wound.

Oh, what, like just a plaster wound? Yeah. No, they say seriously wounded, but he lived. Wow. So I think that they went, this isn't really a battle. This isn't a war because they declared war. Yeah, we better stop. It's a bit one-sided.

Yeah, and then so they won and they let the current sultan live in exile on a small island. Right. But still to this day, the shortest war ever fought. Shortest war. 38 minutes.

Other things you can do in 38 minutes. That's most TV episodes. And you know an hour episode on TV minus the ads is about 40 minutes. It's about 40 minutes. Yeah. You could do a 30-minute yoga class. Yeah.

And maybe some stretching and chatting on either side. Yeah, and a shower afterwards. That's about the shortest war ever. Yeah, you could read a chapter of a book. Yeah. 38 minutes. You could do some journaling, go a little walk Maybe go to the zoo Yeah

38 minutes Or yeah You could declare war Up to you 38 minutes Don't need a lot of time So today's fact of the day Is the shortest war

In the history Of our world Was 38 minutes long Fact of the day Day Day Day Day

Yeah I do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Day, day, dayna. Good morning. Morena, how are you? Bloody good, mate. Lovely to see you. Great. Yes, wonderful to be here. Now, you do a bit of everything, don't you? I sure do. You present, you do comedy, you act.

You're a phenomenal actor, in fact. That's very nice, yes. And now you're acting in a new film called How to Please a Woman. I am, yeah. Yeah, it was just a real absolute pleasure to do. It was a very strange experience. Not pleasing a woman. Very funny like that. But no, going to do it. They took me over to Per do. It was a very strange experience. Not pleasing a woman. Very familiar with that.

But no, going to do it, they took me over to Perth. It was nuts. The trailer for this movie went crazy, didn't it? It had like five million views. Is that because of the trailer itself or the fact that people were Googling how to please a woman? I reckon that, the latter. Yeah, there's a bit of a crossover. I'm also in the trailer, so that's why I'm in it.

He didn't bring that up as one of the options. Why it might have been so popular, it's interesting. Because it's not an X-rated film, it is a comedy. No, it's a comedy. It's actually a very sweet and touching and very thought-provoking comedy. But it's also very lols and a very... I saw it in some sort of premier situation on the Gold Coast

with a cinema full of mainly ladies who were screaming at the screen, whooping and hollering and just like also hurling abuse. There's a couple of bits where like, I'm not going to tell you what happens, but people stood up behind me and just swore a lot at the screen.

And the guy who played the character was sitting next to me and his hands, he was like hiding under his hands. Oh my God. Wow. So without giving away too much then, what's the premise of the film? The premise is there's a character called Gina played by the amazing Sally Phillips. Which is crazy. You were like, Sally Phillips. I mean, she's a veep.

Yep. And old school Alan Partridge. Very funny woman. She was in Bridget Jones. She's been in so many things. Yeah, she also did a series called Smack the Pony, which is where I first saw her, which is an incredible all-female comic sketch group.

Sketch group, yeah. It was in the 90s. And it was like some of the sketches are absolutely incredible, like just absolutely sublime. So anyway, I was very nervous to meet her. Anyway, she opens, she is going through a bit of a lull in her life and she takes over a moving business to sort of make her feel better and turns out that she thinks they can make a bit more money

by doing cleaning and then they suddenly become very popular and it sort of turns out that the cleaners are kind of pleasuring ladies. So it takes a bit of a weird turn. But yeah, it's a great movie to go. Especially if you want to get back to the cinema, go with a bunch of friends and this is a great movie to do it with. And scream at the screen. Scream, yeah.

Curl abuse. So you said it's sweetream. Scream, yeah. Curl of Buse. So you said it's sweet, it's funny, it's a bit weird. Where do you sit in it? Because you are all of these things. Oh, that's pretty good.

What note are you playing? Your sweet, funny, weird? I bring quite a lot of erotic tension. I knew you would head in that direction. Yeah, yeah. Probably.

You feel it in the room now. Some sex symbol wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, in the trailer. You feel it in the room now, don't you, Mitch? Some sex symbol, wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, in the trailer you can see me doing some gyrating. The first day that I met Sally Phillips,

my first day on set. So I've flown over to Perth. We were meant to do two weeks quarantine. Didn't have to because it became a green country subject. Two weeks holiday.

Turned up to, haven't met anyone, turned up to set and my first scene, I, it doesn't really ruin it but i have to do an erotic dance basically and um i haven't met anyone so i do this dance for about half the day and people aren't sure whether i'm trying to be funny or if i'm actually trying to be sexy and so like people aren't sure how to react.

And also after like three hours of gyrating, I don't know if you guys have gyrated in front of people you don't know for a long time. For a living for a while. Just the glazed look of just boredom. Like I'm really giving it with my pelvis. And just like the focus puller was like sighing and like just like, I can't do anymore.

I can't gyr. I can't, I can't gyrate any harder. Wow. There's so much grinding and body rolling and, I reckon it's worth seeing the film just to,

just to see this play out at this moment. And now we'll all know that this was your first day on set and it was incredibly awful for you. Yeah, well,

that's the first day I met Sally as well. I'm such a fan. I'm such, like, fanboying all over it, slash, slowly taking my clothes off and

trying to do it. There's like a sideway hip thing, which I spent ages. My YouTube algorithm is thrown way off. I spend a lot of time watching male strippers. Oh, sure, sure. That's, yeah, right. It's only just gone out of kilter now. Well, it's out today, isn't it?

How to Please a Woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, it's a great, to go back to the cinema in general, if you haven't been, it's out today, isn't it? How to Please a Woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, it's a great... To go back to the cinema in general, if you haven't been, it's so much fun. And to do it with a group of mates and just discuss how erotic I can be afterwards would be a great night. Josh Thompson, thank you so much. Silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.

Today's silly little pole. Do you think you're currently with, quote, the one, unquote. Oh, now this is awkward because if you check your partner's Instagram, you can see what they voted on in the last 24 hours. Hey, we're not here to tear apart relationships or anything. Because you would then question, if you're not with the one, why are you with them? And I'd probably say cheap rent. Yeah, cheap rent.

Half-pr price power bills. Splitting the bill at dinner. Lots of reasons. I don't want to get up all the time and feed the cat. I'm not saying this is why I'm with Aaron because I do believe he's the one. How did you answer on the silly little poll? Are you with the one? I'm with the yeah.

Partly because I feel it in my soul he is the one. Partly because we've just been together for too long it's too much admin a lot of admin to break up a lot of admin well 78% of people

isn't that lovely 78% of people said that yes they are currently with the one 22% said nah did anyone that messaged in because we'll always get messages in with

silly little poll did anyone say I'm not and then like admit it we'll always get messages in with silly little polls. Did anyone say, I'm not? And then, like, admit it? Well, here are the messages in. Brittany says, yes, I am with the one. She makes the heart go pitter-patter, pitter-patter. Oh.

Give me a bucket. I think you need to go get an ECG, because it shouldn't be going pitter-patter, pitter-patter like that. No, that sounds like an irregular heartbeat. And get that checked out. Yeah. So Lana said, nah. pitter, patter like that. No, that sounds like an irregular heartbeat. And get that checked out. Yeah. So Lana said, nah, I mean, I did. But he had other thoughts, so he dumped me.

Oh, so you were with the one. He was not with the one. He was with someone else. Mindy says, yes, I am. Been together since we were 17. Been through so much together. Honestly, wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else. They have only been together for six years.

High school sweethearts. Yes. Yeah. Six years, early days, love. Yeah. Ash says, when you know, you just know. As silly as it sounds, he will do anything for me and me for him. We communicate good.

We support each other in the things we like and want to do. And we have good relationships with each other's families. See, that's one thing. I couldn't leave Aaron because I'm in a lot of his quite expensive family portraits. Right from year one, I was in some wedding photos. We just can't. Did they, in the wedding photos, were you on the end so they could have cropped you out if this hadn't worked out? I am on the end.

Good placement from them. Very smart. Sunita said, when I look in his eyes, I feel at home. Blush face, blush face. Yuck. Chris.

Chris said, I married the man of my dreams. No one messaged in saying, yeah, I'm with someone. No, yeah. But I don't think they're the one. Also don't want to leave a paper trail if you're going to admit to that.

God, no. An electronic trail. You're doing that for whatever reasons you're doing that. That's none of our business. Good luck to you. But that's still, what, 30, 20-odd percent of people. 22 percent. They say they're with someone, but they're not the one.

But then why are they... Admin. Too hard. Yeah, also, who doesn't want a little bit of... It's winter. Dad-ass on tap. Yeah. Is that what we say?

We can, we can, yeah. Sure.
