The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. Thanks to McCafe, trying to do refreshing McCafe iced coffee. It's available now at Macca's. Big drama in studio. I mean, as the Ukraine-Russia invasion. Huge drama.

Wellington is just going crazy. Wellington protesters. You know, the world in turmoil. Vaughan can't get his Barocca out of the tube. Nah. Pinch the tube. I squeezed it, you see. I squeezed it, you see.

And now, because Barocca's a disc-like, it can't slide past, so I've got to squeeze it so it's wide one way. Rattle it. Oh, that's good. It's weird they haven't gone to plastic tubes like the other ones. Oh, I just did a line of Barocca. You did a little sniff there. I shook it.

Oh, yeah. You can't get it out. Straight up the snuff. I used to do a Barocca every now and again, but I just didn't bother. I've got a multivitamin. That's the same thing, right? I've just copied. I saw Vaughan having Barocca, and I thought, hell yeah, because I don't drink coffee.

Yeah, it replaces one of my coffees. Because I still enjoy an afternoon coffee. Yeah, right. And so I'd load myself up on three, maybe four coffees before lunch and always two heaped spoons in each coffee, black as my soul itself. And by lunchtime, it's sometimes a jittery mess.

Yeah, right. And then I'd still have one in the afternoon to sort of peter things off. So yeah, this has replaced one of my coffees, but yeah, I've bungled this tube. Really buggered this tube up. You're going to have to cut it up. I think. Nah, I'll smash

it flat. You got a drop saw? I've got a drop saw. You can do that. You got a knife? Just knife into it. Oh no, look at that Another theory Why don't you just pour the water into the tube and have a super strong Barocca with all the tablets That are left in there

That was good eh That sounds good I've got a mini tube I'm so fucking embarrassed I'm so embarrassed You gotta have a hard thumb And pop it straight off. I think the podcast listeners are loving hearing this.

Just you guys popping the lids of your shoes. ASMR, ready? Pathetic. Ready? It just bounced straight into the microphone. I'll see if I can do it into my hand. You know, I reckon my coffee lid coming off. Oh, have a go, have reckon my coffee lid coming off.

Oh, have a go. Have a go. Have a go. No. More like this. Oh. What about? What did we discover was the ultimate in the sound of the lid coming off?

I thought it was the coffee things. And then we went, but it's more like this. Good stuff. Good fun. Riveting. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. One more.

One more for the potties. And enjoy the show. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. So, Fletch, Vaughughan and Hayley. It's four minutes past six. See, our Russian product's been taken off the shelves there. Yes. Well, I will be throwing out my mamushkas.

What are those dolls called? Those Russian... Babushka? Babushkas? Mamushka? Babushkas. Babushkas. Yeah.

Yeah. Babushkas. Yeah, because I saw yesterday Australian booze retailers were taking vodka off the shelves. But what about all the people in Russia? And there'd be a lot that are anti this behaviour. Oh, yeah. A lot of them are. Yeah.

I would say the majority. But what? You've got to punish the whole? The businesses. Well, yeah, you do. You've got to punish the whole country to make the leader. You should realise that they're being a tyrannical person. Yeah.

Gotcha. Yeah, unfortunately. That's unfair that the everyday man, woman, person of Russia's underpriced there. But Russian fudge, of course, off the menu. Oh, no. I love Russian fudge. But that's made here.

Yeah, it is. With an ancient recipe from Marabushka. From Russia. From Mother Russia. From the motherland. All right, coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six jobs for Dame Valerie. Well, because she's retired from the shop.

The shoddy putty. Yeah. It showed footage of her on the news last night at 14. And she looked exactly the same. Yeah. It showed footage of her on the news last night at 14. And she looked exactly the same. Yeah, wow. When she was at half of them at 14. It's been doing that long. Yeah.

Yeah. Lots of goals. I was thinking, like, for example, Lisa Carrington can go to the Olympics and do the K100, the K200, the team. There's lots of opportunities for her to win medals at every Olympics. You know, like, she could, well, how many did she take away this time? Four? Yeah. Whereas every time Valerie Adams went to the Olympics, one.

That was all she could possibly win. She got one shot. One. They didn't do like shot put. Did they not do different? No, one shot put. How far you throw it. Yeah.

No, they could do different weights, I guess, the weight of the ball, but that's the only thing that could change. Maybe the same person would win. Maybe she should have taken up skiing, then she could have gone to the Winter Olympics for the slalom shot put. Yeah, she could have. The slalom shot put. Have you not seen the shot put?

Yeah, it's fantastic. Or flying down that toboggan, that ice ramp toboggan, and you've got to throw shot puts, like cannonballs. Gosh, she's amazing, eh? She is.

So the top six. Amazing athlete. Looking at the top six jobs. Yeah, the jobs she can do now. As she put it, hanging up her

size 14 throwing shoes. Bigger feet than you. Size 14. Size 14. You've got size 12. That is a size 12. That's bigger than, that's ridiculous.

A size 14 women's is a size 12. She's got the same feet as you. Oh, right, size 14 women's. Did you see Stephen Adams in the NBA yesterday? No. Buzzer beater. From one end of the court, he threw it right down the other end.

And his teammate, because, of course, once the buzzer goes, anybody touching the ball that it's touching the ground, his teammate caught it in the air and threw it and got it in, and they won. So as long as it doesn't touch the ground. As long as it doesn't touch the ground. The first time it touches the ground or touches someone that's touching the ground. His teammate caught it in the air and threw it and got it in and they won. So as long as it doesn't touch the ground. As long as it doesn't touch the ground. The first time it touches the ground or touches someone that's touching the ground,

post-bubble. Oh, I'm going to have to Google that. Yeah, it's amazing. I've got such a crush on him. Coming up at 8 o'clock as well, Add to Cart Returns. Celebrity week all this week. Celebrities picking all the different items in the cart.

So we'll give you the first one at 8 o'clock this morning. Coming up, I've got a bid on Trade Me. I'm really looking forward to winning it. Bit of a strange item, but I think at this particular time, it's going to be really useful to me. Okay, it's next. There's an auction on Trade Me that may be of interest to some. Hopefully not.

It is for a very well-shaped tinfoil hat. A buy now of $20. Oh, okay. You could buy your own whole roll of tinfoil for that. Did Wellington Supermarket stock up on tin? Did they get the tinfoil supplies back up? I reckon they did. They should if they want to make money.

The description says tinfoil condition new, so it's unworn. Yeah. No chance of knits. Tinfoil hat made from top quality tinfoil. I'm talking catering foil here. Oh, good. A must for any EMF waves and will work in the dark. Thank God.

This is the real deal. Don't get fooled by imitations at Parliament. any EMF waves and will work in the dark. Thank God. This is the real deal. Don't get fooled by imitations at Parliament. This hat is also sprinkler proof. Few questions on the auction. Will wearing this hat increase my chances

of getting struck by lightning? We haven't tried it with lightning yet, but it could possibly hook into the free Wi-Fi in the Parliament area. What size is it? Hi, one size fits all.

Depends on what sort of finish you need. Small is crinkly and large is smooth. Why don't you just fill it out a bit? In the sun... Oh, no, that's just a little fun thing. How many do you have in stock? And do you do sizes for dogs? We would be keen to buy six plus three dogs and a cat if possible.

Ah yes, we can make cat and dog ones. You may want to order our DIY kit and tape the cat down as they tend to move around a lot. Tape the cat to the ground as you're putting it on. Buying six qualifies you to join our Conspiracy Theory membership club. Can you absolutely guarantee the pointy bit at the top will not attract

unwanted subversive messages that the mongrels in Parliament might send out to get us vaccinated and go home. And then he said, I think you may be too late. Does it come with a guarantee? We guarantee all hats against EMF waves and crazy frog song. It goes on and on. How much is it going for this tinfoil hat? 20 buck by now.

Oh, that's pretty cheap. Has it not gone up overnight? No, no, no. There's no one's bid on it. It's just there's no bidding. It's just a straight purchase. I reckon they could really crank those out. Put your mind to it. You could probably make five of those

in the morning. Yeah. That's a hundred bucks before lunchtime. Are the Wellington protesters still wearing their tinfoil hats? Because over the weekend when I saw that I was like oh god. I've lost all. Yeah. I was trying to explain to my kids why I was I was like that too

I wasn't laughing so much as I was like oh no just like slowly losing more faith in humanity and they were like why are they wearing tinfoil hats

I'm like to block out the the rays that the government they reckon the government is shooting at them the government's not shooting rays

at them I was like yeah I know so why are they wearing hats out of tinfoil? I'm like, it's weird. It's hard to explain. It's an old way of describing a conspiracy theorist, right?

The old tinfoil hats. Yes. Because what was the original tinfoil hat to block out? Like aliens. Aliens reading your mind. Yeah. That's right. Because it would have been before, you know, EMFs and all that.

Oh, no, before all that kind of science. Well, you can get your own on Trade Me. This morning, though, hundreds of police have moved on the protest. Do you know that the protesters are slashing police tires? I saw that, yeah. Yeah, when they removed their makeshift shower block yesterday, they went in with a forklift and just picked the whole thing up and took it away. Well, stay tuned because they're all in a

formation and it looks like shit's about to go down. Do the protesters know that no one sort of cares anymore? That we're all over it a bit? We're all thinking about Ukraine. Bigger issues. Yeah. Not your silly tinfoil idiots.

Yeah. Just trying to see, you know know you can go to your photos And you can go by places Because I know we've been here What I'm about to talk about And got some amazing photos Of a little kiwi And it's said

Rainbow Springs Nature Park On the way into Rotorua On the right If you're going in From north Yep And just before the gondola,

Skyline Luge. Kind of like in the same car park, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Same entry off the state highway. I've never been. Fascinating place. Because it's got lots of animals. There's a ride you can go on, but just lots of things to do

in there, but I mean primarily focused around animals, native animals. Right. So, yeah, Rainbow Springs, after 90 years in operation, is just going to shut down because it just, with the ongoing pandemic and tourism not happening, an absolute magnet for international visitors. Oh, yeah.

Like, that would be the place to go if you were an overseas tourist. Oh, you get to see it all. It opened in the 30s. Yeah. Wild, eh? I guess that was when... It's going to be one of our oldest businesses. I bet it was loose in the 30s.

I reckon you could have just picked up a Kiwi and just patted it. Oh, absolutely. Probably put it in your purse. They might not have even had Kiwi because there was probably so many of them still around. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You were hitting them with your car on the way, you know, going into the car park. Probably had a mower buffet as well.

Oh, yeah. Mower was probably on the buffet. So much they don't know. Nothing goes to waste. Chewy and dry, I reckon. It would be bloody dry. All right, bud. Get a drumstick.

Get a drummy or a thigh. Oh, yes. Juicy. No wonder they're extinct. Yummy. Yum. The other day I saw a photo of the Auckland a drummy or a thigh. Oh, yes. Juicy. No wonder they're extinct. Yummy. Yum. The other day I saw a photo of the Auckland Zoo with the polar bear exhibit.

And I remember seeing the polar bears when I was a kid. We went to see the pandas at Auckland Zoo. 1995 is when they got rid of the polar bears. They had polar bears. What? Until 1995. Yeah. Like in a sub-tropical Auckland summer. Can you imagine being a polar bear?

It was just like, kill me. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry, polar bears. Yeah, and all the interior of it was painted to look like ice, but it was not. They're doing fine now, though, eh, the polar bears? The polar bears, fantastically. It's a slow, slowly warming up up there

rather than the quick warm-up of a summer in Auckland. In Auckland? So what are they doing with all of the Rainbow Springs animals? Slowly warming up up there rather than the quick warm-up of a summer in Auckland. In Auckland? Yeah. So what are they doing with all of the Rainbow Springs animals? Well, I guess they're just going to bloody flush all the trout in the toilet. Perfect. Put them back in the lakes and rivers. Get some fishing.

Get some big flying fish. But what about the Kiwi? So the hatchery, yeah, the Kiwi hatchery, the National Kiwi Hatchery is based there. It is going to operate at the site for the foreseeable future while we develop plans to move it to the recently reopened Agrodome site. Right.

Okay. That's from the spokesperson for the Naitahu Holdings. Who own. That own it. That area. Surely it'll be up and running once tourism kicks off again though.

Or is it gone? It's gone, gone. It's gone, gone. Yeah, so is this a COVID casualty? Yeah, they say. Yeah, because of the lack of international. And maybe New Zealanders are like, oh, we know what that looks like. We don't need to go in there.

Yeah. But I would reckon the kids bloody loved it. It's too late now. It is too late. They need to do like a farewell weekend. You've got to get out there and do something new, New Zealand, in the words of Madeleine Sami. Yeah, over and over and unavoidably so.

They should do a weekend where you can go in and, like, they're getting rid of everything, little post-it notes, put your name and number on it, how much you'd pay for it, and pop a post-it note on it, and then how much would you pay for a kiwi? Oh, I wasn't thinking the kiwis were up for grabs. 500? Is that reasonable? Oh, no, but you'd pay $1,000 for a fancy dog. Do you think my cat would eat the kiwi?

How much did you pay for your cat? You couldn't have a cohabitation of the cat and the kiwi. Well, maybe. I reckon the kiwi would, like, one-on-one, the kiwi would put up more of a fight than you think. I think they'd become best friends. Really? Like the TV kiwi and the cat?

Yes. Your cat looks a little bit like the cat. Yeah, I reckon he'd be best friends with the kiwi. And they'd sleep in a satellite dish and tell everybody it was time to turn the TVs off and we'll be back for the broadcast tomorrow. Either that or I'd just come home and the Kiwi would be at... Or your cat would be dead and the Kiwi would be like, I don't know what happened. Don't look at me.

I don't know. Yeah, sure. I mean, blame the guy with the knife on his face for the stabbing of your cat. Wellington listeners are heading into central Wellington. Message from police. They're advising the public to avoid the area around Parliament. This morning they've issued a statement saying that a pre-planned operation is underway to restore access within the protest area on Parliament grounds.

News showing a lot of police standing by. Paddy wagons as well. So it's all on. They've hired a whole bunch of rental vans. Did you see? They're like Hertz rental vans all lined up outside Wellington Police Station. They're not getting the bond

back. No, absolutely not. They run a tight ship, but when you return those, they do a good look through. Absolutely they do. They look at the roof too, make sure you didn't go into a car park like I did once. And it hurts. And it hurts rental. Well, that's not covered by insurance either often.

Come on. As I was going in, I was with my mum and she was like, you'll be fine. And I was like, mum, no, no. Also, I've been into a car park building in your ute and the antennas touched the top as well. And you were like, oh, well. You've got

no respect for roof height. Each time I hit the thing with the aerial. That's what you want. A little touch. I didn't tell Aaron about that. Why'd you bring that up? He'll be asleep. He will be. Here's a crazy story out of the US.

A woman who had struggled to fall pregnant and keep a pregnancy was obviously elated when she found out she was pregnant. And when she went to her, what's the scan? Doctor. 12-week. What's the person? What's the person? The medical person that studies for years?

The doctor. Yeah, that's him. Doctor. Yeah. Now, that's him. Doctor. Now, when she went for a 12-week scan, you know, just making sure it was all all right, they found out that there was actually another baby in there. Not twins, though. They'd been conceived at different times.

What, like one cycle apart? No, not a whole cycle. So this is a rare event known as superfetation, when a second new pregnancy occurs during an initial pregnancy. So she got pregnant, the egg and the sperm went into the womb and got in there. For her, it was apparently five days later, her ovaries released another egg. When the moment you're pregnant, your ovaries aren't supposed to release any more eggs. So you can have twins or more,

but can you have those two cooking at the same time? If it's only five days apart, yeah. Yeah, right. Only five days apart. So technically it's like she's having twins. Was there another batch of sperm dispatched? I'm not sure if there was a new batch of sperm.

I don't think it survives that long. No. There would have had to have been. They're trying, so they'd just sort of been going all the time. They would have been rabbits. Add it like rabbits. Her ovaries released another egg, it fertilised,

and she had these babies. Because they were so close apart, they considered them twins, but they're technically not. So then what about when it comes to giving birth? They came out at the same time. They've come out at the same... I mean, not in the exact same moment,

one after the other. Yeah, if they got to a full term, five days isn't going to make too much of a difference. Yeah, so same thing. They grow in... Which ones? They grow in the same sack, don't they? Twins.

What do they get? One sack each. Anyway, they came out absolutely fine and normal. And apparently this happened... They get the same sack, just slightly different colour. So mum can tell who's who. Yeah, exactly. And that's why for the rest of their life they wear the same clothes but a slightly different colour. Yeah. Apparently this happened, even though it's super rare,

it happened last year as well to a woman in the UK who gave birth to twins conceived three weeks apart. Three weeks. Yeah. Oh, that would be... So that's the difference. So that's...

But you can't call them twins, can you? Well, I mean, they're in the womb at the same time. If I was the older... Yeah, if I was the older brother, I'd certainly be saying, no, no, we're not twins. I'm the oldest.

I'm older. Yeah, definitely. Apparently this is brother, I'd certainly be saying, no, no, we're not twins. I'm the oldest. I'm older. Yeah, definitely. Apparently this is so, so rare that this woman who's just given birth and the woman from last year are one of only a few cases ever recorded in medical literature. I wonder if before all of our modern medicine and machines, if people just thought they were twins. Yeah, true. How do you not? This probably happened a lot. But now they can tell when the exact moment was.

God, I mean, three weeks is fine, five days is fine, but imagine being like four months in and then this happened. Yeah. And then you've got... Four months, yeah, well, I mean... A little one and a big one. Can you take one in? Yeah, well, you're just going through the sunroof, get out the ready one.

Get out one. Put the other one back in for another 40 seconds under frost. Give it another nuke. Yeah. And then it would be ready to come out. Bizarre. Bizarre. That's something.

From the sophisticated ZN Think Tank, this is the top six. Hi there. Today's top six. Dame Valerie Adams officially announcing yesterday when they said Dame Valerie has an announcement. Yeah. I was like, here we go. What did you think it was going to be? Retirement.

Oh, you're saying? Yeah. She deserves it. She deserves a break. She's been at it for a very long. I'd say the majority of her life. Do you have her total haul? Nah. I just know it's a lot.

It would be a lot. Like, she's won so many competitions. She won 19 events on the trot. Yeah, absolute machine. Like, consecutive 19, like, be it Commonwealth Games, Olympic Games. Until old Osh topush came along. But then that was the break in it, but then she got awarded that gold medal because Osterpushuk got done for being a drug cheat.

She has won so many awards. Gold, gold, silver, bronze at the Olympics. And world champs, gold, gold, gold, gold, silver. Indoor world champs, gold, gold, gold, gold, silver. Indoor world champs, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, bronze. Commonwealth Games, gold, gold, gold, silver, silver. She's just incredible. Yeah, the Commonwealth Games, that's a good one because the Russians and the big

strong Eastern Europeans don't go. Yeah. We smoke in on that one. And there's a Commonwealth Games this year, right? Yeah, there is. I wonder if she was tempted just to go. She said, but then that's what happens is Commonwealth Games just around the corner, then, there is. She may have. I wonder if she was tempted just to go. She said, but then that's what happens is Commonwealth Games just around the corner, then there's another one just around the corner, and then there's a World Champs, and then there's an Olympics, and you never will stop. So she said she's hanging up the boots.

I've got the top six jobs for Dame Valerie Adams post-shotty. Number six, from shot putter to shot giver. She could give boosters. Oh, yeah. Take a shot from the shot putter herself. I'll put a shot in your arm. She could give boosters. Oh, yeah. Take a shot from the shot-putter herself. I'll put a shot in your arm. It would hurt, though. Oh, no, she'd be gentle.

What a family. What a her. What a family. What a family. What a family of athletes. I wouldn't want to be Valerie or Stephen's brother if I couldn't do sport just as well. People would have very high expectations. That is today's Top 6. It's a sad day. It's a sad, sad day This is close to me

I don't know if people remember or even care But a few years ago I was blonde It was honestly the happiest I've ever been in my life But it's unsustainable God, you had so much fun, didn't you? God, I had so much fun Live that mantra Yeah, but I did go blonde uh it was i was

blonde in 2019 to 2020 and then i went into lockdown then i realized why i didn't want to be blonde anymore because i was i was one of those girls with the deep dark roots the maintenance coming through the maintenance too hard uh but of course anyone who's ever colored their hair particularly blonded bleached their hair will know the product Olaplex. It is a holy grail, miracle product that basically reverses damage to your hair. It's amazing. You put it in and like breaky, frizzy, over bleached hair suddenly becomes soft again.

I can see Karwin at the social media desk literally staring lovingly at her bleached blonde hair. Karwin, are you really feeling this news today? Yeah, it's a sad day. It is a sad day. What colour is your hair if you just let it go? What? No, this is, it's like a balayage.

So it's like more. She's just blending her natural colour with some brightening highlights. Right, so your natural colour is the stuff. Yeah, it does need a touch up. Thanks for reminding me. No, no, no, I wasn't saying that. I just don't know where...

I don't know, like... I don't know. You don't know anything. I don't know anything. Well, of course, so they've just announced, as of today, they have to remove Olaplex No. 2 and No. 3, which are the at-home treatments. What about 1 and 5 and 4 and 8?

TBC. TBC. But these are the main ones. Number three being the one you do at home and it like repairs your hair. So where do one and two happen? At the salon?

Two happens at the salon and like what the hairdresser would use. Number three is you're at home because it contains Lileal which is a type of perfume I believe. Butylol, Penanol, methylitolopropanolol. I think I've said that correctly. Also, hey, so the seven dwarves in

Bulgarian. Yeah. For quite a major reason. It's called reprotoxic, which means it can have an effect on your fetus if you were to get pregnant. To have a fetus. Right. So this is, the EU is banning this. The EU is banning this. So it's like off the

shelves. Anything that contains that. But they're talking about Olaplex because that's like such a huge brand. So does that mean they're moving on that hair? They're what? They're moving to do the same hair in New Zealand. Oh, because I said we were talking about hair. Yeah, I was like, moving on the hair. Moving on that hair. Oh, they must

do. I mean, if they've worked out that this is a product that would have a bad effect on a baby, surely. But I think they're going to say, like, it's maybe hopefully not the end of Olaplex because they'll just remove that ingredient and replace it with something that's not being banned. It's the ingredient that's being banned, not the whole brand. Right.

But this is like, people listening will be hearing their hair snapping. So expensive. Okay. You're like, a tiny little bottle is like $50. Jesus. And you put it in the shower

and I'd always say to Aaron, you can use anything. Don't use it. Just don't use that. Don't use that. You don't need it? Don't use that. It's so expensive.

He definitely used it. He definitely did. He'd come out and I'd be like, your hair looks much, much stronger. You've done some bond work. If somebody said to me, don't use something in the shower, I'd 100% use it just to see why they were like, don't use it. Yeah.

Because it must be good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit in the beard and all of a sudden my beard is like Rapunzel strength hair. Yeah. Yeah. It won't just affect your baby. It can have effects on your fertility in general.

That's terrible. Not for me. I don't want a baby and I've been using it. Maybe I could use it as contraception. I could come off the pill. Strong hair. Just enough of it. Hormone free.

Birth control. Just long, strong locks. All the news stories I'm seeing are banned EU and stories out of Britain. So I don't know if they're going to do the same here but that's certainly something to watch out for, isn't it? Surely. Oh my gosh, my hairdresser just texted. Currently driving back to Auckland with Olaplex in my hair.

God damn. Get it out, babe! Get in the shower! Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. This is an incredible story. Straight from New York City There's a guy there His name's Juan Hernandez

And in 2019 He won 10 million dollars In the New York lottery 10 million dollars But, little asterisk, they tax it When you win a lotto in America You gotta pay state taxes That's the amount he took after

the tax. Oh, wow. Okay, so he would have won quite a bit then. Quite a bit. Oh my god. They take home barely anything and then they have that option of like, do you want to be paid one lump sum and have a portion of it now or be paid the whole amount in small installments for the rest of your life. Most people

go for the lump sum. So $10 million in his hand and he was like, this is amazing. At the time he was like, I'm going to pay off my mortgage, I'm going to help my family, this is incredible. Well last week, no, this week, only a couple of days ago, he won $10 million at the New York Lottery for the second

time. $10 million for the second time. Just everyone that's ever bought a lottery ticket. Absolutely insane. It's just like right now saying a swear word at him. He kept buying them. That's what I don't get.

If you won a whole lot of money, would you keep buying them? No, because your chances of winning again are very minimal. Your chances of winning again are the same as they were the first time you won. And you won the first time. Yeah, that's true. They are. They don't get any less. Maybe you would because, yeah, you're like, well, I'm lucky. I'm in it to win it.

And you've also got a lot of money now to buy lotto tickets with. Oh, my God, I know. I mean, maybe he just enjoyed doing it. He said he's still trying to spend the first $10 million he won. Oh, don't say that. So? Don't say that. It would have been better if he said,

this is my first time buying a lotto ticket. That's why I love that when someone wins, wins like one of the big ones in New Zealand. Yeah. At $28 million. And they're like, oh, have you had a long time lotto player? Nah, first time. Yeah, no, I just sort of grabbed one. Because it said $28 million, that's insane.

So what happens now? Oh, you win $28 million. Man, yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's insane. I don't know. I don't think I'll play again. Yeah.

I mean, the chances of this happening are ridiculous. But this time, he's donating the whole lot. Oh, okay. I know. He's been giving it to businesses around him that have been hit by the pandemic. Oh, but see, this is also a selfish move because I'd keep my favourite bakery alive. So would I.

What's it going to cost? What's it going to cost? What do you need? You're not going out of business, my favourite restaurant. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah. And you know if you single-handedly save them, when you walk in, you're going to get treated like a hero.

Oh, you're not paying a dollar for a donut. No, no, no. No way. No, no, no, no. Yeah, he's donating the whole lot. Because as he said, he can't even get through the first lot. He doesn't need this. So he's donating it to local businesses Because as he said, he can't even get through the first lot. He doesn't need this. So he's donating it to local businesses that have been struggling thanks to the pandemic.

What a guy. Thank you, Juan. I wonder if he's going to keep on playing and go for round three. I mean, why not? So, so lucky. He's got the magic touch. I know. I mean, this is the luckiest thing ever.

I wanted to ask you guys, how lucky are you? Like, have you won big twice? Are you someone that always wins? No. No? I'm just trying. I mean, I've won the odd little thing. I don't think I've won anything like this.

But not like people that say they enter and they win a car and then they win an overseas holiday. I don't win those kind of things. But then I also don't enter. I was going to say. Because I'm like, I'm never going to win that. Whereas your mum won the overseas trip, didn't she? Yeah, but my mum also used to enter every single competition there was.

She was a serial enterer. She won the San Fran trip, didn't she? Yeah, that lovely Mark Ruffalo boy. That's what she says every time she sees him in a movie. I won a trip to she? Yeah, that lovely Mark Ruffalo boy. That's what she says every time she sees him in a movie. I want a trip to San Fran because of that lovely Mark Ruffalo man. Oh, what a friend. I get two in my head about it. If I enter something, I just assume I'm going to win it,

even though I've never won it. And then there's disappointment. And then I'm disappointed like I've lost something. But I haven't lost anything. It was never mine in the first place. So, yeah, I don't, I don't. We only buy a lot of, I love that,

we only buy a lot of tickets if it's massive. Yeah. As if you're like $2 million. No, thank you. Yeah. I'm way too good for that. I'm good.

No, I'm good. I'm not blowing my win on 2 mil. Yeah, I'm going to hold out. I'll hold out for a 20 something mil. Thanks. Don't you think you would be a little bit like if you won a million, be like, that's awesome.

Not as good as. 100%. Or if you won, if it was 10 mil and you won, you're like, oh my God, $10 million. million, be like, that's awesome. Not as good as... 100%. Or if you won, if it was 10 million, you won, you're like, oh my God, $10 million. And they're like, there are 10 First Division winners. You'd be like, for fuck's sake. God damn it, you guys just robbed me of $9 million. Now I'm stuck with a measly million.

Well, we want to take your calls now. How lucky are you? Have you won big more than once? And obviously it doesn't need to be like a big lotto win. It could be maybe a couple of big scratchy wins. Oh, yeah, you're good on the scratchies. You win a couple of big five-hundies. Like I've never won more than a hundy on a scratchy.

Don't you love it? They always put two 10,000s. You're like, oh, wow. Today's the day. No. It never happens. Never. So whenever you won big, whether or not it's just been little

prize draws yeah maybe you've got a lucky streak very very lucky man in new york has just won 10 million dollars in the lottery for the second time he won back in 2019 another 10 million dollars i can't hate this man because his second lottery win is going all to charity all going to charity or going to local businesses that have suffered because of the pandemic. Absolutely, on Croyabla. But we asked you, how lucky are you? Are you someone that wins all the time?

What makes you very lucky? Okay, Cody, it wasn't $10 million. What was it? So yeah, I had a good old meat wrestle. 100 tickets. Bought three and won all three meat raffles. Yeah. Love a meat raffle.

The last time I saw a meat raffle was when I went to the Rasa with you, Vaughan, the RSA. I used to choose their nights, the old members' nights down there for a meat raffle. I want a couple of those meat raffles. They were all right. Good, good meat. That would have kept you going for a while then, Cody? Oh, yeah. Fully stopped through, for sure. Yeah, I hope you had room in the freezer. Three meat packs.

You're not going to get through that in a week. Pretty good. Was it quality meat, though? Was it quality meat? Oh, it wasn't too bad. Was it? Yeah, okay. Alright, average. Not grey. Well, but better than paying for meat. Better than paying for meat. Brilliant. Cody, thanks. You called some messages in.

Someone said, my colleague and I are diet Coke drinkers. Oh, yeah. And she always gives me the labels to enter the competitions they run. You know, there's a code on the back. You can text in the code or send in the code. I put the codes in and then one day at work I got a phone call and I'd won a $1,000 Air New Zealand voucher. Oh, that'd be good.

She stopped giving me her labels after that. Yeah. She wanted to win, but I won a few more things a few more times. That's the thing. We buy Coke all the time at home and never enter the competition. I'm so lazy. Pump does them too. Always like, enter this code and go in to win.

I'm so lazy. I used to win on the paddle pops. I thought you were going to say on the pokies. Oh God, no. I've never lost on the pokies. Renee, how lucky are you? Well, more than a guy.

My luckiness is actually part of the family. So when I was young, maybe like 12, my nana and granddad went on a trip to Fiji. Gorgeous. I know. So I got to go on that with my mum. And then when I was 14, my mum won a British Paints $25,000 trip to England and like around the world. Oh my God.

A $25,000 trip. That would be amazing. I know. She was a single mum. It was just her and I. So it was incredible. Oh, wow. Oh my God, you got to travel around.

So you've won two trips. Yeah. Again, see, I would never enter for those trips because I'm like, I've got to start entering these competitions. I know. I've got to start. I've got to start getting in all these competitions. Renee, thanks for your call.

As a kiddo, I won heaps of colouring in competitions. The best one was when I was about five and I won a ride to school in a fire truck and got to squirt the hose with my class watching. But that's not luck, is it? That's talent. That's pure talent. Is that talent? That's like inside the lines talent.

Yeah. Is it always the best? Nah, they don't always go for the best. Well, they don't sit down and slave over which one is the most elegant. I think they just go for a bit of X factor, don't they? Far out. Yeah. My whole life is a lie.

I went to the Supercross in Auckland, entered a monster energy drink competition to win a brand new Yamaha worth $13,000. I was like, this is never going to happen. And used some other people's entries as well. Yeah. Guess what? A couple of weeks later, I got the call,

I won the bloody butter bike. Did they use it? I don't know. I'd be too scared. I'd be too scared to fall off, break myself. Yeah, same. It's a salad. I'd be too scared. I'd be too scared to fall off a brake myself. Yeah, same. I'd have to sell it. I'd be like, oh, that's loud.

How many people do you reckon sell things they win? All of them. In prizes? Absolutely. I have a friend that won a car and she sold it like the next day. She's like, I love my car. I want the money. Why didn't she have a brand new car though?

But she had a good car. But sell the other car. But she'd get more money for the new car. Ah, right. Yeah, okay. Yeah. That's smart. My partner's won multiple things.

I'd say the biggest thing he won was a trip to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The whole value of the trip was $30,000. Oh, I would have loved to go to the Olympics. Rio's amazing. Oh, no. I don't care about the Olympics. I'd never want to go to a city when the Olympics are on. Find you at the bar.

You'd be at the bar afterwards. I want to go after because the city when the Olympics are on is horrible. It's full of people. Sexy Olympics. Yeah, but go later. Oh, I know. Could you get past the Olympic Village and hop on that train? Yeah, but Rio de Janeiro is probably a sexy enough city without the Olympics.

Are they all getting down? They don't just let you into the Olympic village, Hayley. I'm an athlete. Marching? Yeah, but that's an Olympic sport. That'd be up to Talbot. My calf muscles and my triceps. Yeah, they'll be like, she's a sportswoman.

Just put on a New Zealand track suit. Absolutely. And wander in. Some other messages. I won $5 off a $1 instant kiwi, so I bought five more. I won $3 off the next round, bought three more. Reinvesting. $3,000.

On the trot. They hit their threes. These things happen in threes. Reinvesting. Because that's normally how I go. Win five, I'm like, invest. Win three, and then nothing. At what point don't you invest?

At what point do you withdraw the money? You know, at what point? Like 50? Yeah, 50 or 100. So 20, you're still reinvesting? Yeah. Yeah point? Like 50? Yeah, 50 or 100. So 20, you're still reinvesting? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, same, same, same. Smart.

Just quickly as well, if you're in Wellington, avoid the Parliament area. There is a police operation underway to remove, by the looks of it, remove the protesters, judging by the amount

of paddy wagons and riot shields and pepper spraying that's going on this morning. And then if anyone in the area's got any room in their bin, there's going to be a lot of junk to clean up afterwards. Might be some free tents as well. They're going to want to start scattering some seed down on that lawn. Yeah.

While it's still not... Get into autumn, great time to undersow. Get some autumn grass. Get some autumn grass for fall winter. That lawn is going to not. Well, get into autumn. Great time to under-sow. Get some autumn grass. Get some autumn growth before winter. That lawn is going to have poos in it as well. Yuck. Good for the grass, though. Good for the grass. There's a Facebook page, New Zealand Lawn Addicts.

I reckon if they said to those guys, let's rally together, let's do the working bee, those guys would be down there in a heartbeat because then every time it's on the news, they'd be like, did that, sowed that, did that lawn. Everyone would turn up with their aeration sandals on. Yes, yes, yes. Stomping on the lawn. I reckon they should get that.

Have you guys seen those rolled out lawns? I get so jazzed on those. Cheating. It's cheating. And you can tell because you can see the lines. I remember just out of Nelson, I passed like Richmond and stuff. There's these massive fields and they grow the lawns and you see them like rolling it up, ready to roll out onto people's lawns.

Those machines are pretty cool that roll up the lawns. I know, I'm always just like... But it's also cheating. I know it's cheating, but it's parliament. Need the lawns back. Yeah, we'll get it sorted. That's all I care about. They could gravel it.

What? No, we're not putting a decorative pebble down. They could just gravel it, yeah, but a lime chip. This is New Zealand, not Oman or other places to try to grow a lovely lawn. They do gravel in Oman. Yeah, a lot of gravel in the Middle East. No, this is a lawn area. This is a lawny country.

We're going to regrow that lawn. Pave it. Pavers. You don't pull down Paradise and put up a parking lot over there. Last night, speaking of growing, out in the vegetable garden, doing a little bit of a round to see how everything's going. Weird time of the year in the veggie garden, but the chillies have all come in.

Now, I've got five different chilli plants. Oh, yeah. I've got some big, fat jalapenos happening. I've got those little skinny bird eye peppers, those super hot ones, the little tiny, teeny, tiny ones. And I've got those ones that look like, is it habaneros that are like wrinkly and you're just a bit like,

oh, you're all wrinkly and funny looking. You're not going to be that hot. And then you eat them and you're like. And I've got something at the back that terrifies me to even look at. I don't think I'll eat it. I just think I'll grow it just to see if I could grow it. And I could, and there's a red one on there. And I just look at it. I'm like, I'll eat it. I just think I'll grow it just to see if I could grow it. And I could and there's a red one on there

and I just look at it and I'm like, I can even from a distance I can smell you. You're a wild man boy. Like I'll have a jalapeno popper I love a jalapeno popper and maybe if it's stuffed with feta yum. And I'll have a sweet chilli sauce but that's it when it comes

to chillies. Sweet chilli sauce Sweet chilli sauce isn't... Lovely Thai sweet chilli. Yeah. that's it when it comes to chillies. Oh, my God. Sweet chilli sauce. Sweet chilli sauce. Lovely Thai sweet chilli. Yeah. That's like white mum's idea of the hottest food around. And I'm absolutely fine with that. It might as well be capsicum. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Capsicum chilli sauce. It's so far from chilli. Sweet capsicum sauce. Okay, maybe some chilli flakes. I might do some chilli flakes. I love them. Love chilli flakes. You don't like a spice?

I think I'm a medium. I'm a medium at most. Okay, if you're medium. I might do some chilli flakes. I love chilli flakes. You don't like a spice? I think I'm a medium. I'm a medium at most. Okay, if you're medium, then I'm medium hot. Yeah, I'll go hot. Yeah. So I was like, look at these jalapenos. This is going to be great for jalapeno poppers. Yeah, yeah.

And I said, because my kids are always watching these dumb YouTubers that live in LA that are always on their TikTok. Oh, God, last time we came around, there was a compilation of. That guy. Jesus. He needs to stop. Yeah. That's my general feeling on all of them.

How do you put up with? But they're always doing like, today it's the challenge time. Oh, yeah. I'm going to eat a spoonful of cinnamon. Watch me go. It's 24 challenges in 24 hours. I'm going to do upside down poop.

I don't know. There's always some weird. I'm going to do it upside down. Poop. I don't know. There's always some weird, I'm going to push my sister into a pool. And a lot of those were set up. I didn't want to tell your kids, but they were so fake and set up. Don't be afraid. No, no, tell them. Tell them. I always say, this is set up.

That's fake. And they'll start calling them out too now. They'll be like, Dad, I reckon this one's set up. I'm like, that's a girl. That's good. You're teaching them the cynical nature of the Smith. So I said, it's time for the jalapeno challenge. And I said, I dare you to bite this in like a silly American voice.

And they were like, ah, no way, no way. Dad, you bite it. And I was like, I've had jalapeno before. How hot can it be? Right in front of them. I was like, challenge accepted. And started chewing it. And I was like, I've got to get this down.

I've got to get this down. And they were like, are you okay? I was like, I am not okay. I'm not okay. Was it not a jalapeno? I'm godly hot. What? Was it not a jalapeno?

It can't be a jalepeño. I think it was like seeds and all straight off the plant. It was. It was a tubby little jalapeno. Little green thing. Tubby little green fella. Tubby little green guy. No, he was red.

Oh. He's a tubby little red guy. He'd gone through green. He'd been green. Oh, okay. You leave them on there, they'll ripen up. Right. I thought I was going to be cool dad who loves hot sauce, who is going to be able to just

be like, nom, nom, nom, nom. Easy peasy. But I was like. Want another one? Yeah, I was like, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. Dad's not doing so good. Oh, no. And like the nose started running, the eyes.

And then I was like... And I rubbed my eyes and of course I've been holding a pepper. So now I've got pepper in my eyes. I've been pepper sprayed in my own vegetable garden. Well, much like some of the protesters this morning, they're using milk after they've been peppered. Did you use milk? No, because I went inside and there was only a little bit of milk left and Sade said, no, leave that

because the girls don't need that for cereal tomorrow. And I was like, how dare you? Did you have yogurt, cream, anything? No, I just watered and then just sat it out. But even this morning when I got up and I rubbed my eyes, still, I've washed my hands so many times, still got a little, oh gosh.

Well, I shan't be coming around for jalapeno poppers. A little tingly. I think it was once I took the seeds out, because then I took the seeds out of the rest of it and chopped it up and had it on tacos. Taco Tuesday. Right. And that was really perfect.

You want to wash your hands before you went for a wee-wee. Especially if you're going to... Not me. Not you. Yeah. I like to live dangerously. Yeah, wow. Yeah.

That hurt too. Yeah, I. Yeah. That hurt too. Yeah, I bet it did. A lot, a lot, a lot. I bet it did. I bet it did. Flashback on Hayley's silly little pose, silly little pose. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pose, silly little pose, silly little pose, silly little pose,

silly little pose. Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole The mics were on. I was sort of, that was in my own world singing that. I love it. It's a fun song to sing along to. It bloody is. Today's Silly Little Pole

is about group chats, group texts. You got your WhatsApps, you got your Facebook messages, you got your iMessage, anything that involves more than one-on-one conversation, group chats. There's off the back of an article asking if we're over group chats. Yeah. Like after the pandemic and just with, you know, all the time we spend online,

the attention it takes from us. Yeah, they became what is described as a social lifeline early in the pandemic, but all good conversations must eventually come to an end. Are people over group chats? We use them for work. We've got the Facebook work chat. Yeah. And then you've got your friend group work chats.

Yeah, we've got the one without Vaughn. But it's a shit group chat. Leading up to your birthday. Oh, yeah. It's important to plan. Secrets. Secrets and shenanigans. You've got the WhatsApp friend group.

Your friend group does the WhatsApp. The lads on the WhatsApp. Just so the government can't see, man. Yeah, man. Indian encryption, bro. What do you want about all sorts of stuff? I use Signal. You know?

Are you going blind? Yeah, mate. You're after the show. You're going to go bolster reserves on Parliament grounds. Absolutely. In your Signal group. You've had the call, haven't you? Work as you can.

I'm part of so many group chats. I've got so many on the go. Some have been going for absolute years. And they're super, super active. And then I've got some more dormant ones that pop up every now and then. Yeah, I love the old pop-up there. As a baby or, you know, has something funny to share. Yeah.

Renovation pics. So, are you sick of group chats? 61% of people answered nah, love them. 39% said yes, sick of them. Ooh, that's quite high. Well, you don't want to be the person in the group chat that never contributes, you know? Yeah.

You want to be an active member of the group chat. And also, where does all the good goss come? Where does good goss come from? Group chats. Yeah also, where does all the good goss come? Where does good goss come from? Group chats. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, like when Vaughn pops up and he just has the gif of a tea. Of someone sipping tea. My favourite when it's just, we're all quiet and then it goes,

guys, dot, dot, dot. Yeah. Here it is. Here it comes. Give it to us. Here it comes. Here it comes. Do you have any that are on mute?

I've got a couple on mute. Nah, see, if one's on mute, I'll just leave. A little too active for me. You can't leave family groups. Oh, is it? You've muted family. What would Dominic Toretto say about that? After 10,000 successful Fast and the Furious movies,

where family was more important than anything. Wow, I didn't know where you were going with that. And you've muted them. No, just, you know, like ones that are super, super active that, you know, you can't sort of keep getting dings. So I'll do an end of the day, like, check back. Yeah. You can put them on mute between certain times, right?

You can, like, make... Mute for eight hours or mute for one hour or mute until I turn it back on. Mute for a day. Mute for a long time. Well, we asked for your feedback on it. And Tim, Tim from Timaru, says, where else am I going to post my Wordle scores?

Oh, yeah. He's a proud Wordler there. You've already posted your Wordle in the group chat today. Cranked Wordle today. Got it done in about 30 seconds. Three guesses. Very quick. I'm on to Quirtle now.

That's like four or six. You're playing four at once. Yeah. Yeah, it's next level. It's not as easy. Monica writes, just text me if you want something. It's so annoying, but I love to leave a group chat if I'm uninterested in it just to be savage.

But you're never going to be invited back. Once you leave a group chat, no one's inviting you back once the good stuff's happening. You've got to have a mole on the inside of that group chat that can leak to you one-on-one the gossip that's still getting out of that group chat. So just think ahead with these sorts of things please before we make rash decisions about leaving group chats.

Rhiannon says you have to remember which group chat you're chatting to. There's always an offshoot group chat that doesn't include the annoying one. There is. So you don't want to talk about the annoying person and the one that they're actually still part of. Always check before you send.

I'd love to know if there were group chats and I'm not part of. You know, like you've got your group chat with them if there was another, an offset. Right. Maybe they are. I'm really fun. I don't think that's happening. Wow, that's bad.

It can't be. It can't be. Surely it can't be I bring the gossip No Sharon said I'm sick of them My workmates need to get a life

Outside of work That sounds like Someone who doesn't want to be Chit chatting with their workmates But then If it's not work If it's not gossip And it's like work work

You want to be able to escape that Don't you Yeah Yeah Totally Yeah But again Just mute

Mute for the weekends Or mute after hours. Nicola is pro group chats. It makes it so much easier to organise things quickly. Yeah, it does. Yeah, rather than eventing. Logan says

best group chats are the ones I can mute and know that I can catch up on the gossip later or if plans are made that someone in the chat will be able to fill me in later. Everyone's doing legwork for Logan.

Yeah, I hate that. Legwork Logan. You expect everybody to do all the work for you. You've got to be an active member of this group if you want to be invited Logan. And Linda said, I hate the Messenger app. I keep it hidden away in its own section box on my iPhone because I get sick of the group

chat notifications. Hard being popular. Leave Linda a line basically is what Linda's saying. Leave Linda out. Linda doesn't need to be part of it. LLA. LLA. Leave Linda a line. Yeah't need to be part of your... L-L-A. L-L-A. Leave Linda alone. Yeah. So, yeah.

I'd say the people that are sick of it are quite sick of it. Yeah. But it's still an overwhelming majority in favour of group chat. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We have a reporter standing by on the grounds of Parliament where police are moving on protesters. After the news at eight, we're going to catch up with Nick, who is a reporter for the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB,

to tell us the latest. You mean a government shill? We're going to chat to our government shill. Absolutely, yeah. Pay millions of dollars for the government to peddle their propaganda. Yeah. Speaking of shills, not necessarily a government one, but she's here

Congratulations are in order They are To one Hayley Jane Sproul They are You don't say that You're trying to hold on to a No, congratulate me A little bit of modesty

During a congratulations piece Congratulate me You won a New Zealand television The TV Guide Award TV Guide? TV Guide Award for Best Kids Joke a New Zealand Television, the TV Guide Award. TV Guide? TV Guide Award for Best Kids Joke. Just New Zealand TV Awards. The New Zealand TV Guide Awards.

You won the New Zealand Television Award last night. Yes. For? Best Presenter Entertainment. For? For Have You Been Paying Attention. The show that you were on as well, Vaughan? The show that is coming back on Friday.

Would you say that I was a crucial element to this? I don't know. When you... And this, of course, hasn't gone to your head, has it, at all? No, no. Well, it was quite humbling, really, because you get nominated and then there's a big awards night coming up and you look forward to getting all dressed up

and heading out for a big awards night coming up and you look forward to getting all dressed up and heading out for a big night out amongst your peers, your Hilary Barry's and your Mike McRoberts. But instead I was in my undies on the lounge floor on quite an itchy shag pile rug that we've got going on, watching it on my laptop

because of COVID. Right, and then it came up, you're the winner. Came up that I was the winner I said to Aaron, I was like, Aaron, make me a drink! And he made me, honestly, the world's strongest espresso martini. And I, yeah, I won this award. And I, the awkward part

about it is, because it was all moved virtual, and Tom Sainsbury did a great job of hosting it, and they were kind of cut to these things, and then as I was, I watched the whole awards, and my one was one of the later ones, the more important ones. Right.

And as the winner would get announced, they'd play a little video. And they asked all nominees to record a, oh my gosh, I've just won video. Which I found so awkward. Because at that point, you don't know if you're going to win or not.

So there would have been everyone else in your category had done a, oh my gosh, thank you so much for this honour. I want to thank this person, this person, this person. No, that's horrible. So as I was watching these awards and these acceptance speeches were coming up, I was going, oh no, I hope I don't win because I can't do earnestness, especially if I don't know that

I'm going to win or not. So I recorded my video. I took the absolute piss. I did an Australian accent. I didn't thank anyone. I didn't acknowledge anyone who works on the show at all. So when they said my name, I went, yay, shit. Yay. Oh dear. And then my video played, my thank you video, where I just did a gag for about a minute. Yeah, didn't thank anyone and everyone leading up to it had really sort of acknowledged that the industry's gone through a tough time at the moment

to acknowledge the other nominees in their category and I just went, oh my god, I'm so excited. It was pretty bad. Right, but it God, I'm so excited. It was pretty bad. Right, but it's not going to your head. I mean, it's another award to a long list of awards I've already won. Yeah.

Starting at high school, the Peter Ver Jones Award for my performance as Richard III, and it's just gone on. It's just never ending. It's just never ending, honestly. The one, the Peter Ver Award. Someone brought this up, because I have a friend who takes great pleasure in editing my Wikipedia page and he loves to add information. You've got a Wikipedia page?

Yeah, I'm famous, I tell you what. And he added a high school award that I'd won, like, you know, some silly award. And people bring it up, so you won an award for Shakespearean acting? I was like, oh, look, kind of. Anyway, so people reference my – When you're on the TV, because you're an award-winning TV host,

do you do it with a bit of breakfast on your chin? Do I have breakfast on my chin? What is that? Bit of breakfast, I think. I think that's – Bit of toast. I think that's – Fruise ball.

I think it's a bit of fruise ball. I'm just keeping you grounded there. Yeah, yeah. Just keeping you grounded. Keeping you humble. Humble man. That pimple there, that's not TV worthy either. Yeah, that's your humbling co-host.

Yeah, it is indeed. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Three minutes past eight. Well, it. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleeche, Maughan and Hayley, three minutes past eight.

Well, it's all going Parliament grounds. Oh, yeah. A lot of yelling. Watching a few live streams. It's all go. You've got all angles, all eyes on all angles. God, there's some throwing, throwing a bucket. Someone threw a bucket at the police.

Don't throw a bucket at the police. No, no, no, no, no, police. Don't throw a bucket at the police. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't throw a bucket at anybody. Didn't you just see a message in a group at the protest? I saw a shared on Twitter, somebody who, a journo who is, I don't know, in the groups under an alias to keep an eye on it all. One of them was like, cough on the police. Remember, everybody cough on the police.

Oh, God. Jesus. We're going to catch up with Nick, who's a reporter at Parliament Grounds next on the police. Remember, everybody cough on the police. Oh God. Jesus. We're going to catch up with Nick, who's a reporter at Parliament Grounds next on the show. Yeah, Nick James.

A warning though, if you're in Wellington heading into work to avoid that area. Take the day off, guys. Take the day off. It sounds like a great excuse for a day off,

doesn't it? Oh, I can't get in. It's chaos down there. It's madness. All right, we'll catch up with him next on the show. At the Cart.

ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. We're joined on the phone by journalist Nick James, who's in Wellington, reports for the New Zealand Herald, another NZME news outlet.

Yes, News Talk ZB, Wellington reporter. Yep. You're on the ground at the Parliament grounds, Nick. Good morning. Yes, good morning. How are you guys? Good. Don't you sound shipper?

I try my best. I try my best. It's not a particularly positive situation here, but I try. Now, so what's happened this morning, there's a large police operation underway. Is today the day that they kicked them out? Well, that's a million-dollar question, but it seems a bit like it.

I've sort of been here from, I guess, 6am this morning, and, yeah, it's been crazy. I've seen people get arrested, you know, combats with police and media. They've been yelling at us as well. And, yeah, it's just been full on. They've been yelling at us as well. And, yeah, it's just been full on. Police are essentially taking back all of those streets that have been sort of occupied by protesters for the last three weeks now.

Wow. We've got a couple of live feeds, probably about three live feeds open. I hate to say it, it's looking pretty aggressive down there. We saw buckets being thrown at the police, chairs being thrown at the police. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I saw buckets being thrown at the police, chairs being thrown at the police. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I saw cones being thrown at police. Obviously, people

were yelling at police too. There's a police helicopter up ahead right now. Yeah, no, it's pretty full on. Also seeing police pepper spraying. Have they done that before in the protests? No, definitely not. Yeah, I've just seen some sort of spray being sort of arising into the air now.

But no, there's been no, this is the most aggressive tactic police have used so far throughout this protest. How many, could it be a bit of Febreze this spray? Could be. Because there's no washing machines down there. No, maybe some antibacterial spray. Yeah. How many protesters are there there at the moment, do you think? I mean, the numbers of protesters have been sort of going down

over the past sort of week. There's still about, I'd say, a few hundred people around here, but they've all been pushed back. So police have had riot gear and have just moved them all back and essentially stripped a lot of their tents down as well. Yeah, it seems like a big move here by police today. Also seeing a lot of paddy wagons and minivans

lined up. Does that mean we're going to see a few arrests, do you think? Oh, yeah, without a doubt. I mean, I've seen about six or seven myself. Obviously, people not too happy with police at the moment, but yeah, there's definitely been a few arrests, and there'll be more to

come throughout the day, I'm sure of it. Have you seen many kids still there? Yeah, I mean, I've seen a few kids around there, which is worrying. I've seen a few dogs as well, which looks a bit stressed out. Yeah, it's still a protest of all ages, and it's, yeah,

it's a very tense situation for everyone involved, I think. It seems to be like peaking at the moment. We've been watching since probably about 6am. It seems to be amping up literally right now. Have you got goggles on? I don't have goggles on. I do wear glasses, so hopefully that might help. Might be enough.

You might want to pop a carton of milk in your bag just in case you get into the fine line. I'll get right around those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I'll give it a go. But, yeah, no, it's definitely heating up at the moment. I guess both metaphorically and literally. Yeah, so what about for those in Wellington that are heading to work this morning? It's just obviously just best to avoid that whole area?

Yes, definitely, yeah. So that's the message police are sending out. They're saying, you know, if you're heading to work, just detour, just go around Parliament. You don't want to be around here. It's just, yeah, it's not a pretty sight, really. Yeah, you've just got to stay away, really. I'm hearing a lot of coughing on the live stream.

A ton of coughing. So much coughing. So much coughing. So much coughing. So much coughing. Yeah, I've got a pretty protective mask on here. So, yeah, but there's a lot of, there's been a lot of coughing throughout the week, actually. But only about 17 people have tested positive.

So I don't know if that's completely accurate. Yeah, no, there's a lot of coughing going around. What about the journos? You guys are dropping like flies, Wellington journos. You feeling okay there? You're doing rats. Are you doing the rats? Yes, I tested negative this morning,

so that's always good. Have you got yourself a tinfoil hat just in case you get in the way of the rays as well? Yeah, I actually do need to invest in that as well. I think the government's probably shooting some radiation at me right now. I'd imagine Jacinda's dialing it up. Oven tray at a pinch. It's a thicker tinfoil.

Oh, more Wilson's just around the corner. They have a big catering roll there you could probably grab. Yeah, I'll head down soon. All right. Hey, Nick, James, be safe while you're reporting this morning. Thank you so much. Newstalk ZB Wellington reporter Nick James. Thank you so much. Newstalk ZB, Wellington reporter Nick James. Thank you.

Thanks. No worries. All right, 12 minutes past eight. Just before you go, Nick, what do you do with the millions of dollars the government's paying you to peddle their propaganda? I know. It hasn't come through on the mail yet. I'm actually really annoyed.

It'll be there soon. Because we're all going to buy beach houses on the same road. If you want to buy one next door. We're going to try to control the community sort of thing, get a gate on the end and that. Yeah, exactly, yeah. I can't wait. Yeah, no, it sounds good. I'll flick you through the trade me listing of the one I'm bidding on.

It's going to be a good time. Incredible. Incredible. Yeah. Don't tell people where it is. A pair of Aussie influencers called Two Teaspoons Have Are they food?

Oh, have a look Yeah, foodie gals Are they foodie gals? A couple of beautiful Aussie foodie gals Well, they're under fire from a restaurant Who were like, excuse me After the girls asked if they could have free meals In order to do some influencing.

I remember this happened, what was it, in the first year of the pandemic. Was it the place down by my Mian that does all the gelato and the desserts? Yeah. Real yum. I think they were delicious. They were hit up by some influencers. And then they just went at them because they're like, we've been in lockdown.

Like, we're doing it tough. Yeah, can you not pay $5 for a lovely, delicious... We're not giving you a free mousse or chocolate, whatever. I've got to say, I'd absolutely be insulted. Combined following of 10,000 followers. I think my mum's got that many. You know what I mean? She does not.

I'm not trying to follow a show, though. How many Patsy is I? What is your Instagram? What is your Instagram? Because I can't find it. Two teaspoons. I've looked at two dot teaspoons. Elle Groves and Annie Knight run a foodie page

called Two Teaspoons on Instagram where they review restaurants and cafes across Melbourne and Brisbane. But they won't pay. They won't pay. They won't pay. So they asked for something. This restaurant owner, if they could try out his meals in exchange for some glowing social media posts.

Same thing. He's like, do you know what Hospo's going through at the moment? Yeah. Absolutely not. And I think he would have opened up the page just to see if he was missing out on an incredible opportunity and seen a combined following of 10,000 and thought I'm alright. I don't need that for a, what were they

after? A full breakfast? So they wanted a full like to try all their meals. They wanted everything? They said we saw your restaurant and thought it looked amazing. We would love to come in and try it out in exchange for some stories on our personal accounts. Not even a post. Oh and a post, There you go. On our

food page account. Would you guys be interested in doing this collab? See, they've often, they've not said, oh my god, I love this. Would they be interested? They have asked, would you be interested? It's like a business proposal. They're not demanding or saying it would be great for you. They're just saying,

would you be interested? Because when a page like, if they do have a lot of following, something like that can be beneficial for places. Because're just saying, would you be interested? Because when a page, like if they do have a lot of following, something like that can be beneficial for places because you see a photo of something delicious and you're like, I need to go to that cafe. To reiterate, 10,000 combined followers, please. He came back with a strongly worded response saying, apologies for the delay.

He didn't come back. He thought about it for a bit. But I've been grappling with how much rage to throw your way. I've decided to take the high road and explain a few things to you instead in the hope that you learn something and become a better person. Reaching out blind, blah, blah, blah, free stuff is a shitty enough thing to do at the best of times, but it's even worse when COVID

is still very much a thing affecting small businesses like us devastatingly for two years now. I can understand. I mean, people in hospo are just slammed at the moment. And something like this, I mean, maybe he didn't need to be so, you know, he could have just said, well, thank you. But at the moment, you just feel like, are you taking the piss? Well, we ran a poll.

Do you think it's okay for influencers to ask for a free meal? 98% said nah. And the 2% may be influenced. I don't know if we've got 2% influence. Well, they're not having a huge influence over the rest of the people voting. No, not a huge influence. Yeah, only 2% saying, yeah, it's fine. Yeah.

It's fine. And that's like nearly 3,000 votes to 60 saying it's fine. Yeah. So it's overwhelming. I've come back being like, oh, we didn't mean to insult them. You know, we've done 207 featured posts. Only seven of them we haven't paid for the thing. You know, they were just reaching out

as part of their business. But I think they've found the response really confronting and do it and do it and do. You've got to support hospitality at the moment. Just pay for your brioche next time. I can't be doing it all. You know, I've been going out every single night. She's been drinking a lot, guys.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, I'm eating out and it's exhausting. And it's expensive. I'm buying a whole new wardrobe to accommodate this new body. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Baby Baby Baby I was trying to do a

Mariah Carey whistle. It's no good. Sorry everyone who hit their volume up. Apologies to dogs as well. They just upset some dogs around the country. Garage doors are like... Okay, moving on. What just happened?

Today's fact of the day comes from a paper co-authored by Bryn E. Sherman and Nicholas B. Turk-Brown. It is called Statistical Prediction of the Future Impairs Episodic Encoding of the Present. Let me break it down. Okay. Let me break it down Okay Let me break it down They hypothesized That if you concentrate too much On trying to predict what's going to happen next

Like if you're in a situation And you're like What's happening next? What's happening next? What's happening next? What's happening next? Your brain is concentrating so much On trying to predict

That it won't encode that as a long-term memory And they found out that it is indeed true. If you focus too much on not enjoying the moment, on just what's happening next, what am I doing next, what's happening next, can I work out where this is going, you're not living in the moment enough to encode into your brain the events that you are experiencing long-term. Oh no, that's me. I do that all the time.

You worry about it. What's the next thing? What's the next thing? Yeah,, that's me. I do that all the time. You worry about it. What's the next thing? What's the next thing? Yeah, and that means you're not literally living in the moment. Like when you're on a holiday and you're like, oh, my God, we've only got four more days left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you don't even remember your trip to Rarotonga.

No. Because all you could think about was coming home. Oh, my God, I'm going to go home soon. You should have been living in the moment, enjoying that buggy ride around that abandoned Hilton resort that was half built and then used as a sort of a cash laundering place for the Russian mafia. You should be enjoying that and listening to these sorts of tidbits

of information that the tour guide's giving you. But you weren't. You were thinking about what's happening next. Where am I eating next? And you weren't living in the moment and enjoying it. And then therefore you won't create a long-term memory. A long-term memory. You'll remember it, but it won't be in any detail.

It won't be one that you can like fondly look back on and remember like colours and smells and all those things that like trigger memory. Would that be the same for like overly anxious people that spend all their time worrying? Worrying about what's next. Well, like. Exactly, you're not living in the moment.

You're not enjoying what you're currently doing. Yeah. And thus you can't, when you're like, oh, I can't remember the last time I had fun, it was because you were worrying about what's happening next, not enjoying the fun that was happening around you. Now, isn't that not only scientifically proven and sounds cool, statistical prediction of the future impairs episodic encoding of the present.

That sounds cool. You've never sounded smarter. It sounds like a Panic at the Disco song. It does. It does. But it is also like philosophically a good lesson. Yeah. Enjoy the present.

Wow. Don't worry about the future. Live in the now. Because then you'll remember all the good times. Yeah. You'll remember good times. So much to do though. So much to get through.

Don't worry about it. What are we doing for Christmas? What are we doing for Christmas? Christmas is so fun. What's for dinner? We're hosting Christmas. What's for dinner? Enjoy what you're currently eating. Don't worry about the. What are we doing for Christmas? What are we doing for Christmas? Christmas is so fun. What's for dinner? We're hosting Christmas. What's for dinner? Enjoy what you're currently eating.

Don't worry about the next meal. Jeepers. I haven't called my mum today. Yeah, don't worry. She'll be fine. So yeah, how about that? That's good. Okay, good.

There's some other really intense sounding, as I said before, semi-panic at the disco sounding songs throughout it, Encoding individual experiences, otherwise known as episodic memory, and extracting regularities across experiences. Statistical learning require fundamentally different parts of learning. Are you doing mumble rap? It sounds like it, right? Episodic memory and statistical learning in the reverse direction.

Yeah. So, today's fact of the day is if you concentrate too much on what's happening next, rather than living in the moment and try to predict what's happening next, you won't be able to remember what you're experiencing right now in any great detail. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. This is still going. 20 seasons. Season 20. So that's like, what, one a year? Who's judgy hosty persons? Katy Perry.

Oh, Katy Perry's on the panel? What's his name? Is Simon Cowell still doing it? Surely not. No, no, no. He moved to America's Got Talent. Got Talent. Right.

No, what's his name? Thingy Ritchie. Lionel Ritchie. Right. All right. Who's the gal? Luke Brown. Don't know who that is I mean

Absolutely not Is that a name you just said Or was it Luke Bryan Couple of sounds Luke Bryan Is he like a country singer I imagine so

Luke Bryan Luke Bryan Luke Bryan Anyway So the show was going And an auditionee came in Her name is Grace Franklin. Grace Franklin.

Grace Franklin. Who, it turns out, and I bet they would have played on this. They absolutely were like, what is your journey to music? She was like, my grandma's Aretha. What you want? Baby, I've got. This Aretha. What you need?

The only Aretha that matters. I don't know any other Arethas. This Aretha. What you need. The only Aretha that matters. I don't know any other Arethas. Just a little bit. You Aretha. Not Urethra. Aretha. Yeah, the famous Uretha Franklin.

Uretha Franklin. That's what I call mine. Just off to the toilet. Uretha Franklin. Yeah, I was going to go, where's that my Uretha Franklin? Anyway, how dare you? As far as I get respect, just a little bit. I don't know what's more insulting, calling her Aretha Franklin or your singing of her beautiful song. Anyway, so of course the moment that she said, I'm Aretha Franklin's granddaughter, they were like, here we go.

We've got a winner. Don't say that. Stop the auditions. We have found our winner. She opened say that. Stop the auditions. We have found our winner. She opened her mouth and here's her audition. And if you need me, like you say, say you do. I mean, it's not bad, is it? I mean, I can't sing.

It's not bad. That's Katy Perry singing over top of her to get her to like pep it up a bit. Right. And she didn't get through. She didn't get through. They didn't pick her. Now, as someone who used to coach singing, I can absolutely hear that she's got... Let's go back to Aretha.

And Aretha Franklin Beckham. Aretha. You see, like, she's not bad, Grace, and I'm not going to drag her because she's also 15 years old, but I think that they wanted more. They were expecting that booming Franklin voice.

They built it up. They built it up, didn't they? They built it up too much and she was really shy. That was their main thing and she's like, no, God, This is why I hate

these shows. Hey, why? Because they build people up or they just ruin people, you know, like, I hate these shows. Hey, why? Because they build people up. Or they just ruin people, you know? I don't know. And the backstories. God, they love the backstories. They love an emotional backstory.

My father died in the war and he taught me how to play guitar. My paper. Hallelujah. And they're like, no. No. You're rubbish. I'm sorry, Dad, but I didn't make it. Don't give them the 10-minute backstory if you're just going to.

Yeah. Anyway, so she didn't make it through. Aretha Franklin's granddaughter could not get through to the next round in a singing competition. She didn't have the family talent. She didn't have the family talent. She's got something in there, but it's not the Franklin talent. So we want to ask you, put it to you, did you not inherit the family talent?

The family talent. And obviously it doesn't have to be singing. It could be like sports. Like imagine you come from a really horrid family. Or your dad was an All Black. Maybe you're another Hemsworth. But you're ugly. You know?

Yeah, that's ugly. You know? Yeah, that's true. Like half your family's models and you're just like meh. Is there another Hadid out there and they're just an absolute butter face. Fuggo Hadid. This is Bella and Gigi

and Fuggo. You come from a very hard working family form. Oh my god, Warren. Oh, my God. A long line of people who broke in land and worked from sunup to sundown. And you're just a lazy boy. I'm a sack of shit. I'm a lazy boy.

You don't have the work ethic. I know. Or perhaps a family of doctors. And you're a comedian or something. You're the worst. The best medicine is not laughter. It's medicine. Or perhaps a family of doctors. And you're a comedian or something. You're the worst. The best medicine is not laughter. It's medicine.

It's always worse when the brother or the parents have a good job and you've got the job that's not seen as professional. Absolutely. Or as, you know, up there. Absolutely. So that's a question we want to ask this morning. 0800 DARS at M. Give us a call. You can text as well.

9696. When did you not get the family talent? We're talking about when you didn't inherit the family skills. Do you want the song again? Yes, please. Grace Franklin, the granddaughter of Aretha Franklin,

auditioned for American Idol. Didn't even get through the first round. Doesn't have the family talent. Doesn't have it. Doesn't have it. I mean, she wasn't bad. She wasn't great. She sings better than I could.

Oh, definitely. I think the name didn't help her. I know. I just would have kept that quiet. I said Aretha Cranklin. I mean, Grace Cranklin. Wow. We want to know when you didn't get the family talent.

Some text messages in. My family's talent has been butchers. Come from a long line of butchers. I can't stand the smell, the look of meat. I'm a vegetarian. It makes me a little bit... What a disappointment. I wonder, yeah, that first moment you say, actually

I'm going to be a vegetarian. Imagine you turning up for every family event with your bag of falafel. Or your pastel sausages. And they'll be like, oh, here comes... They do, they look like pastels. They do. They taste like pastels. Soy. They're made of soy.

My dad was a marathon runner, my mum was a provincial hockey player, I went to the Olympics and my sister got fat. Now that's not okay because you didn't nominate yourself, you're just slandering your sister and I'm not here for that. That's very mean. Anything remotely craft based has bypassed me.

Everyone in my family, God, they can pick up a bit of wool and two sticks and knit something. They can sew something to fix. You should see they just sit down and decide to draw something. They go to classes where they're like, let's have that sip and paint thing. They probably do pottery too. Yeah, and I'm just like, no, big hand, no work.

Big hand, no connective brain. Louise, what was the family talent that you missed out on? Hello. Oh, God. So my dad's an engineer, and he worked on the engines for Concorde, the Harrier jump jet. Yeah, he's a pretty brainy kind of guy. Wow.

Wow, okay. Yeah. My mum's a professional musician. She's retired now, but my sister's a vet, and I just wax hairy body parts. Oh, no, you're doing the Lord's work. You are doing the Lord's work.

You've been given a special gift. Tell them to peel apart a set of cheeks and get in there. See how they go. Right in that butthole. My sister does actually say that. She deals with some pretty horrible doggy bits, and she's like, oh, God, how can you do your job? Yeah.

And I'd be quick to knock Dad down a peg or two. Those concords needed an hour of service for every hour they spent in the air. So, you know, Dad wasn't that great. Yeah, but he shut up once they went out of distance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'll keep him quiet. Oh, now, think you worked on Too Expensive to Run, is it?

Louise, thanks. You call some more messages in. My dad and my brother are both accountants. Oh, yeah. And my older brother was a manager of a very large hardware store. Yeah. And I like to swim. What, just like a frolic?

No, I don't know. I think they just like swimming. No word if they've got any sort of accomplishments to their swimming. I need more details on that. We've got a very large family, very close. It's all the cousins. They're all like professionals Lawyers, doctors, accountants

And I'm a struggling actor So Christmas sucks Bringing joy to the people Yeah to a one person pantomime I was lucky because My brother is a musician So we both stuffed up Wow

So how much money did your parents Throw away in private school? Honestly close to a quarter of a million dollars When the public sector Would have done it for nothing Honestly, close to a quarter of a million dollars. When the public sector would have done it for nothing.
