Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe, great barista made coffee on the go.
Before we dive in, I just said, because I had a moccaccino, second one this week by the way, I'm a damn addict.
I'm hot, because I'm having hot flushes, and I said, God I'm hot.
And this guy just says
Rate yourself
I did
I did
So rude
Rate yourself
I'm worried about
His lip
Back
His lip
Resolves to caffeine
Yeah
What are you talking about
Man
Let's chill
I remember that sweet buzz
I know
Coffee used to give
And now it just fills
A slightly empty space
I'm sweaty
I'm sweaty and in a panic
I hate coffee
Whereas it doesn't even
Touch the sides with me now
Nah
Coffee
I reckon I could have one
Tell you what doesn't touch
The slightest sides
When I have a coffee
Jeepers
Rip straight through ya
Straight through ya
Today the last day of
Spring
Summer tomorrow It's also the last day of spring Summer tomorrow
It's also the last day of November
If you're listening to this podcast when it comes out
Some people get so far behind
Yeah yeah yeah
This is a warning for those parents
Who partake in the
Weed
No partake in inviting into their house
The elves
On the shelves
You're not doing this
What do you mean?
I'm not doing anything
The invitation has been sent to the North Pole
For Santa to send his scout elves
To make sure behaviour is absolutely at a peak
In the Smith household in the month of December
And I've said this to you before
But I would love to see the last elf on the shelf
That you ever do.
That the elves ever do.
Sorry, that the elves, when they visit, it should be a murder scene.
And then that puts an end to it.
Yeah, one's got a noose around its neck and the other one's like-
Like an elf lynch.
And the other one's got one of the steak knives through the heart.
There's tomato sauce everywhere.
It's a massacre.
So what is a surviving-
Put some evil eyebrows on it.
Yeah, there's FBI tape all around the kitchen. Oh, it'll be brilliant.
That sounds like a lot of work and generally the elves do their
best work at about 10 minutes before they go to bed when they remember they haven't done it. Oh, yeah. Otherwise
set one up and then just light a fluid all over it, put it up in smoke
and then have a little toy fire truck
on the scene in the morning.
This is great.
Keep them coming.
Keep them coming.
Okay, one of the elves is having a salacious affair
with one of the other elves' wives.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
So there's a scene where the wife is – no, it's the wife is coming in
and her husband's having an affair with another male elf.
Oh, yes.
Scandal, scandal.
And then she walks in and it's her going like, oh, my gosh.
And they're absolutely going for it.
Right.
Dogging.
Dogging.
Is that what they call it?
Dogging.
I think that's what they call it.
Speaking of.
That's what reminded me.
Oh, is this White Lotus?
Yeah.
Okay.
Great memes today.
Great episode this week.
God, it's such a good show. I haven't watched episode five yet. Hurry up. The. Okay. Great memes today. Great episode this week. God, it's such a good show. If you have not watched episode
five yet, hurry
up. The F up.
There's two EPs
left. So there are seven EPs in this
latest season and it's
so good.
Unbeatable television. Other than
Have You Been Paying Attention, which returns in 2023.
Maybe.
I don't reckon we're going to see the other end of the RNZ-TVNZ merger.
Do you shut up?
I read their funding priorities and we don't really tick any of the boxes.
No.
I need to get a contract.
Chuckles aren't on the list.
Chuckles aren't integral?
No.
Is this going to get our podcast taken down for using music?
Is this okay? Is this music? Is this okay?
Is this okay?
Is this okay?
It's fine.
It might be the case with TV show themed tunes,
but I know with video game music,
they don't put a copyright on it
because they want people to make videos of them playing the video game.
And if they make the music copyright,
it'll get taken down off streaming sites.
Makes sense.
YouTube and stuff.
Yeah, right.
So they make it royalty free.
Royalty free, yeah, okay.
It's good fun.
So when are the elves making an appearance?
When do you anticipate they'll arrive?
This evening.
Oh, aye.
This evening they'll be checking in.
Wow.
Where do you think they'll go first?
I'd imagine they'll just have a slow start.
Just arrive.
I think arrival will be enough.
Right.
You should just tell your kids every morning you got up
and they'd made a right mess so you cleaned them up.
Yeah, booted them out. You should put them face
down in the pool.
This is why we don't have kids.
They'll be like,
Daddy, Daddy, where's the elves
this year? Or like hanging out of the dog's
mouth. Yeah.
Torn apart. I am, well,
yeah, Richie was here last year when the elves were but we've got
cheeto the cat now and he's a fucking lunatic yeah he'll eat anything won't he jeez he may
yeah he might have a elfstravaganza We're having fun, aren't we?
We have a lot of fun.
If you're listening to the podcast, you're going to need to fast forward 15 seconds because
we're going to do this for 15 seconds starting now. Thank you.
If you decide to stay with us for that 15 seconds.
Worth it, I think.
Worth it.
Enjoy the show.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Thank you, Lee.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
And good morning to everybody off the field days. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. And good morning to everybody off to field days.
Good morning.
I'm so jealous. Send me photos of little tractors.
He's upset.
I want green little tractors. I want orange little tractors.
Not big ones.
Not big tractors.
Only little ones.
Not big tractors, just little tractors.
Please flood Vaughan's inbox with little tractors so he regrets asking anybody.
No, no.
Don't do that because then he'll just buy one.
I'll get more and more.
I don't have the money for a little tractor at the moment.
You don't need a little tractor.
I keep telling you this.
I do need a little tractor.
More and more every day.
It's just recession, man.
Yeah, I know.
You know?
Recession's always spoiling my fun.
Can't buy a cabbage, can't buy a tractor.
It's hard out there.
It's bloody hard.
Yeah, I mean, maybe if I bought a tractor, I could plant more cabbages.
And then I could give people cabbages.
I wonder if this recession will hamper free samples at Field Days.
Because, you know, Field Days love a free sample.
Ice creams, yogurts,
dairy-based products.
I went to a
bakery?
Daily Bread, what do you call that? Like a cafe, bakery
kind of place? Oh, must be nice.
It was bloody nice, tell you what. And they
had free samples, they cut up all the sort of
like mushed up mince pies, Christmas
mince pies that you love so much.
And I was like, you know what? I keep dissing Vaughan for liking up mince pies, Christmas mince pies that you love so much. And I was like, you know what?
I keep dissing Vaughan for liking Christmas mince,
and it's been years since I tried it, and I tried it.
Dude, it's so yuck.
No.
Was it this one made of strawberries?
We got sent some posh Christmas pies, and I think it was by Daily Bread,
and nothing against them because I've tried their other stuff,
but they're trying something different with the Christmas mince pies.
No sultanas.
They looked classic, like quite with the Christmas mint spice. No sultanas. They looked classic,
like quite a dark Christmas mint.
Yeah, they made it out of like strawberries
and other stuff,
which you think would be real nice,
but it doesn't have that like texture
that I love in Christmas.
I love their carby-based products,
but yeah, I just can't do a Christmas mint pie.
Guys, I got a ham and cheese croissant.
Yum, yeah, now we're talking.
That was where it was at.
I almost spoiled it
by trying this Christmas mince pie.
Tart? I don't know. It's yuck.
Coming up on the show, the top
six, and God, we're burning
through some taxpayer money. Jeez Louise.
Merging Radio
New Zealand.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Is that how we feel about Radio New Zealand?
All they do is talk about gardening and recipes all day.
Well, they put like plays on.
Yeah, and they do plays.
Yeah, no, they put a couple of my plays on.
On the radio.
Yeah, I've recorded a couple of my shows for Radio New Zealand.
It's bizarre.
Are you cheating on us?
No, years ago, years ago, years ago.
Are you cheating on us?
No, guys, please, it's not what it seems.
Get out.
No, no, no.
Get out of my face. Take the kids and get out. I No, guys, please. It's not what it seems. Get out. No, no, no. Get out of there, please.
No.
Take the kids and get out.
Oh, no.
Leave the kids.
I don't want the kids.
I don't want the kids.
You're eating on us with GC.
Mulligan.
No, it wasn't with GC.
It was in Wellington.
Oh, my God.
It was Susie Ferguson.
I'm sorry.
It was.
You bet.
Wow.
No.
But, yeah.
This is so dumb.
We didn't grow up.
I didn't grow up in a radio New Zealand household.
No, neither did I. My mum and dad, listen. Yeah. Yeah. didn't grow up in a Radio New Zealand household.
No, neither did I. My mum and dad listen.
Yeah.
So you probably had a little bit.
The first time I heard it, I was like, what's happening?
But I would have been in radio the first time I listened to Radio New Zealand.
Really?
And I was like, and up next, a piece from Stephen Burroughs, 1942 play,
Ooh, Where Are The Potatoes?
On Radio New Zealand.
And I was like, what?
And then there was no ads.
And I was like, what?
And then they come back and talk to a potato farmer in Afghanistan.
About what he feels about Stephen Burrows'
1942 play
Ooh, Where Are The Potatoes?
And you're like, who is listening to this?
It's quiet.
Tens of thousands of people.
I know they do.
And so the government
are going to merge
Radio New Zealand
and TVNZ.
Which is good
because I've been waiting
for the Sunday night theatre
of Stephen Burrows'
1942 play.
Ooh.
Where are the potatoes?
Not my potatoes.
Where are the potatoes?
I've actually just been cast
as the lead potato.
Oh. Yeah. Thank you. This is exciting've actually just been cast as the lead potato. Oh.
Yeah.
Thank you.
This is exciting.
I knew this COVID.
I am jealous.
Anyway, the government has been spending a lot of money on consultants.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Don't you just say, leave this building, move into TVNZ?
I'm going to number you all one and two.
One, two.
One, two.
One, two.
All the ones, put your hands up. Twos? You're fired to number you all one and two. One, two. One, two. One, two. All the ones,
put your hands up.
Twos, you're fired.
Kim Hill's in group two.
Well, that's tough titties
for Kim Hill.
Oh, no.
So, apparently...
She said the C word
at the radio awards one year.
What?
I know.
What?
I've never said it in my life
and I won't.
So, Vaughan,
you've got a top six
on how to save us some money
with all these consultancies.
Vaughan Smith, broadcasting professional and consultant to the stars.
We'll tell you how to merge two media entities
and save us all a whole bunch of money.
Next on the show, though.
There is a lady who I would like to talk about
who has made a job out of something very relevant to us Aucklanders right now.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, it's the talk of the year.
Would you say it's the biggest news event of the year?
COVID or Ukraine? The opening of Costco in New Zealand.
It's up there.
It's up there.
It's up there.
Yeah.
We'll go COVID, Ukraine, Costco.
You still haven't been I haven't been
Even though I live very close to it
Because I know there's talk
About how successful it's been
About getting one in Christchurch
It's my new petrol station
Is it?
I've only been there once
No no
My local petrol station
Which is brand new right
Lower than Costco
Because I guess it's new
So they're like
And it's completely unstarved right
From here
It's unstarved
They're luring you in.
It's quaint.
Right.
And you can go to the brewery while you're there.
Fill up both the car and yourself.
Fill up and your flagon.
Yeah.
So, no, I haven't been yet.
And because I go to the Mitre 10 next to it all the time,
plus there's Resine there and there's Briscoe's
and I'm there all the time.
And every time I drive by, I'm like, oh, maybe I could go and it doesn't look too busy.
And then I'll get around the front bit and there's just queues like snaking still.
And this will be in like the middle of the morning during the week.
That's nuts.
I just can't get on board.
Your best bet is a morning where we can finish work and just don't have anything to do and just go.
But a lot of those stop in then.
Nine or ten.
Because it doesn't open at ten.
Yeah, but those lines as well are people getting their card.
And you've got your card.
I've got my card.
You can zoom straight past.
So you just go straight past the people.
It was nuts.
I went, what day did I go last week?
Thursday.
And I walked straight in.
The line for cards would have been 70 or 80 people long still.
Yeah, right.
Every day.
Every one of those persons, persons, peoples.
Peoples.
Peoples, I think is correct.
Yeah.
Peoples.
80, 60 bucks.
60 bucks.
Yeah, because you've got to have a membership card to shop there.
We got ours really early, didn't we?
Yeah, online.
As soon as it was sort of announced.
Well, if this is you, like you, like me, look in and go,
oh my God, that is just a nightmare.
I can't be bothered.
Or you don't live in Auckland
and you can't use
it. There is an Auckland woman
who goes by the name Aunty Jo
who is going to do it on your behalf.
So you pay Aunty Jo
20 bucks and she will
line up and do your bulk
shopping for you and then
ship it to you. Oh wow.
But I'm assuming the shipping's extra depending
on how much you cost. Surely. Or drop it off
to your house. Or drop it off to your house if you're an
Aucklander I guess and then you don't want to
get in the lines. But if you don't live in Auckland
she'll literally, she's bridging
the gap.
Auntie Jo's role is to shop and ship
the products from Costco to those who are away
from Auckland.
She said she's been called for lots of reasons,
people who don't like big crowds,
people who can't physically make it into the store.
Yeah, like people, I mean, I can't even imagine being in a wheelchair
or even like having crutches or something in that crowd.
Oh, yeah, it would be nuts.
It's like a sea of ants when you look in,
when you peep in through the door.
So you can...
I'll say it.
I don't think things are that much cheaper there.
Really?
I don't think they're that much cheaper.
I just think they're bigger.
I've heard the cheese is cheap.
And I mean, you can join the Facebook page
and people actually break down with like Excel spreadsheets
what is cheaper.
Because it's like at supermarkets,
they say here's the cost
and then under it in real small, will be like,
which is two something per 100 grams.
I just think it's bigger, and you can buy more of it at once.
And people love the idea of that, because you have to go back less.
Yeah, because that was what was overwhelming for me.
It was so busy, and I felt like I needed to stop
with the things that I buy a lot of and do the maths,
but there was no time.
No.
You love a bulk buy.
And other people are grabbing and you're like,
well, I've got to grab.
And there's this whole like,
who'd been telling me, hunt and gather, hunt and gather.
It's nuts.
It's like, it's insane.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, Auntie Jo's there.
If you need somebody to do it for you,
she's obviously got no worries with big crowds and lines.
For an extra 20 bucks, she'll tell you how to save
20 bucks. And that's the great trick
of Auntie Jo. There you go.
Look up Auntie Jo.
Costco Auntie Jo.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Word of the year.
Gaslight. Gaslighting.
Gas lit would be the post tense.
Now this is Miriam Webster.
Miriam Webster. Yeah, because they all come out.
I'm looking forward to my Tom Collins dictionary
word of the year. Oh, you're the Oxford? I'm an Oxford.
Yeah, I'm an Oxford.
Must be nice.
Must be nice.
Yeah.
You know, I actually won an award
in seventh form at Prizegiving
for English and my
award was a very thick Oxford dictionary.
Why do they give the kid who's already best at English in a book,
give that to the kid who did the worst in English?
Yeah.
Here's a book, get better.
Yeah, I've got to say I've never opened it, but it's nice.
It's a nice one, yeah.
So Miriam Webster said gaslighting,
that's the one where you're basically in a very toxic relationship
where someone's trying to... That's not what it is, Vaughan. You're crazy. See, that's the one where you're basically in a very toxic relationship where someone's trying to...
That's not what it is, Vaughn.
You're crazy.
See, she's doing it to me.
No, that's...
Yeah, but she's right.
It's not what it is.
Yeah, no.
You're coming out and saying something completely...
A different meaning and word.
That's not it.
That's not it.
Yeah, obviously you've gone...
Great example of how to use it.
I will not be gaslit.
I'm not gaslighting.
Are you crazy?
This is not good on the train.
A man is telling on the train.
A man is telling you the meaning.
Wow.
Well, everyone is talking about gaslight,
but I want to talk about how the other dictionary, Oxford,
your favorite, your couple of wankers over here.
It's my favorite.
It's the only way to go. It's my favorite, yeah.
So I've got three words up for the final of their word of the year.
Yeah.
What are their words? Met word of the year. Yeah. What are their words?
Metaverse.
Yep.
Yep.
Hashtag I stand with.
Yep.
And goblin mode.
Goblin mode's automatically my favourite.
Goblin mode.
Welcome to the Oxford Club.
Welcome to the Oxford Club.
This is a tie.
We're a bit of people, aren't we?
We're surprising.
Yeah.
Let me read you.
Metaverse, we see a conceptual future
brought into the vernacular in 2022
from hybrid working and VR
to debates over the ethics and feasibility
of the entire online future.
The usage of this word is quadrupled
in August 22, October 22,
compared to the same period last year.
Metaverse, we kind of know what that.
Yeah.
NFTs and creepy internet stuff.
I don't understand it,
but I don't want to.
I stand with recognises the activism
and division that is characterised
this year from war in Ukraine to the
debt versus herd lawsuit. This
word coined on social media to align
your views to a cause or person can
often further foster dispute
and sometimes even hate speech in its polarising
nature. Okay.
Because I stand with isn't a word. It's
three words mashed together
with a hashtag on front.
Yeah.
It's a term, I guess.
Goblin mode.
Here we go.
I'm just going to announce I will be entering goblin mode.
I've never heard this term before. Neither.
It's the idea of rejecting societal expectations put upon us
in favour of doing whatever one wants.
Oh, my God.
We're in goblin mode.
Entering goblin mode wants. Oh my God. We're in goblin mode. Entering goblin mode.
Early usage dates back to 2009, 2010, but as we emerged from lockdowns all over the world,
the phrase was coined in rejection to returning back to normal after a fake quote from Julia
Fox brought the term back into the mainstream.
Julia Fox.
She's had a hell of a year.
She's had a hell of a year.
I'm voting for Goblin Mode.
Oh my god, the next time I feel
under pressure from anyone, I'm so sorry.
Please excuse me for a moment. I'm returning to Goblin Mode.
Entering Goblin Mode.
I will now be entering
Goblin Mode. I voted for
Goblin Mode. There's been
327,000 votes on this poll
but it won't tell me who's winning.
This tells me they're just going to pick who they want in the end.
Yeah.
If they don't show you the results during the voting.
If anyone's running a poll and not showing you the results, that's why.
That's because they just want to pick their own in the end.
Yeah.
So what's the word of the year?
It's, it's, it's.
Merriam-Webster is gaslighting.
Merriam-Webster is gaslighting.
Yeah.
And Oxford is still running their competition.
And who's the other?
Collins.
Collins.
Collins Dictionary.
Do they always?
They do.
They kind of all come out around this time, don't they?
Collins is so stupid.
I know.
It's kind of the trash dictionary.
We didn't do it yet.
When people do a speech, they say,
the Oxford Dictionary states,
and then they do a meaning.
They don't say the Collins.
The Merriam-Webster.
Collins has announced theirs.
Oh, okay.
Permacrisis.
Oh, I quite like that.
It's nice.
We're just permanently in a crisis.
Oh, no.
We're in a permacrisis.
Oh, my God.
That describes the feeling of living through a period of war, inflation, political instability.
Oh, my God.
No crisis.
The only way to avoid a permacrisis is to enter goblin mode.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Nothing gives me a weirder pleasure than watching the news on TVNZ
and seeing them do a story about TVNZ.
It was like when they led the news hour with the Kamal Santamaria stories,
I was always just like, isn't that so weird?
It's like, okay, leading the news, we've been naughty.
Yeah, we stuffed up.
It's like when your parents made you go back if you stole something,
go back and be like, I stole something.
Yeah, but they have to be independent, though.
They're the news.
Well, they have to.
The biggest stories.
Yes.
Well, the big story at the moment with TVNZ is that it's merging with Radio New Zealand
and the private contractors, the consultants of the how-to and what-to-do
are getting paid $6,000 a week on average.
Yes, please.
Yeah.
The bill for 17 of the largest contracts for individual jobs
is almost $4 million on top of the $5 million
for the largest single contractor working on the transition, Deloitte.
How does it cost $4 or $5 million
to move one thing into another building
and just fire a few people?
Like, how is it that hard?
I don't understand the merger.
And I've worked for both companies, as we've discovered.
Build some radio studios in the TVNZ building
and move them in there.
Like, done.
How is it four or five million dollars?
Vaughan and I were just saying off-air
that it feels like there's plenty of space in that building.
That's a massive building
and there's plenty of nooks.
So weird.
And quite a few crannies.
But I don't
yeah I don't think it's that
it's all like
pre-existing agreements
and all this
paperwork
and like Deloitte
like an accounting firm
so they'll be looking
at everybody.
Oh I love Deloitte.
I think they're Deloitteful.
I think they're Deloitteful. I think they are utterly Deloitteful to work for.
I was trying to work out how to make O-M-G,
so like K-P-M-G.
Another accounting firm.
That's good, that's good.
Fletch, would you like to get in on an accounting firm sort of a...
I don't know anymore.
What's the do-it-yourself one?
MYOB.
Different though.
That's accounting software.
Oh, okay.
These are like massive companies that take care of all sorts of...
That's it.
I'm out.
Well, the government has $40 million to spend on the transition.
You need to take a Chapman trip down the...
No, that's their lawyers.
Oh, damn it.
Okay, get me out of here.
Was it worth interrupting you?
No.
Get me out of Simpson Greer.
Another lawyer thing.
We can move on to lawyers, though.
We can do any professionals.
Anyone who want to work in any dentistry outfits?
Illumino, no.
Wow.
So the government's got $40 million to spend on it
and a quarter of it's going to contractors.
It would be interesting to see, you know, what the story is. Yes. a quarter of it's going to contractors. It would be interesting to see what the story is with all of it.
But I've got the top six ways to
save money on the RNZ TVNZ
merger. Yes.
And you're a media professional, aren't you?
Really? Hell yes. He's worked across
both mediums as well. Yes.
Number six on the list.
Only the hottest people from radio also
get to be on the tally.
So that's you and me.
Me and you.
Yeah.
Wow.
So you don't work for Radio New Zealand?
No, but I'm just saying.
History says you can do radio and TV as long as you're hot.
Yeah.
So who's that?
You and me?
Yeah.
Mandy McLean?
Yeah.
Sonia Gray.
We'll get Sonia over.
Bree, yeah, she's hot.
Yeah.
Sonia Gray. That's probably it. Sonia Gray. We'll get Sonia over. Brie, yeah, she's hot. Yeah. Sonia Gray.
That's probably it.
Sonia Gray can do it if she wants.
You'd be comfortable working with Sonia?
No.
I'd be looking down on her.
All right, carry on.
She is ambiguous.
She's very attractive.
Number five on the list of the top six ways to save money on the RNZ TVNZ merger.
Put Lotto on the radio too.
Because it's just reading out numbers.
Yeah.
That's what Sonya can do.
She can do Lotto on the radio.
So we've got the Lotto drawer and the radio.
How's that saving the taxpayer money?
Does Lotto pay to be on the telly?
Do they?
I don't know.
I don't know. It is independent, isn't it? Okay does Lotto pay to be on the telly? Do they? I don't know. I don't know.
It is independent,
isn't it?
Lotto.
Yeah, it's the
lottery commission.
Okay.
Hey, we're radio.
We'll have a bit
of Lotto's money.
We won't say no
to a bit of money.
Number four on the list
are the top six ways
to save money
on the RNZ TVNZ merger.
Make all the
like sound nerds
that work with
like wires and stuff
and radio learn how to
point a camera and press record.
Boom, now they're audio and visual nerds.
Done.
Halve the jobs.
Yeah, great.
Halve the jobs.
And if there's a camera person that can learn to do the radio nerd stuff, then maybe they
get that job.
Yeah, good call.
Why don't they be like Dan the Weatherman and do his own camera work?
Have you seen this?
You know Dan the Weatherman?
No.
He does his own camera work. Yeah, he puts a camera in front of him, presses record, gets in front of the screen and does his own camera work. Have you seen this? You know Dan the Weatherman? No. He does his own camera work?
Yeah, he puts camera
in front of him,
presses record,
gets in front of the screen
and does his own.
Unbelievable.
I could do that.
Does he not do it live?
No, sometimes he does it live
if he's in the studio,
but if he's doing the updates,
he films them downstairs
with his own camera
and he just goes,
good morning,
and he just does it.
It's amazing.
He's a professional.
Number three on the list
of the top six ways
to save money
on the RNZ TVNZ merger.
Put the radio
on some of those TV channels
we aren't using.
Yeah, okay.
Good call, yeah.
I think they already do that.
Do they?
You know when you get up real high?
Yeah.
Oh, it is up there.
Soul Radio.
Done.
You're welcome.
Easy.
Put that on my done list.
Number two on the list of the top six ways to save money on the TVNZ-RNZ merger.
Put The Chase on the radio as well.
I mean, the cheeky grin of Bradley Walsh adds to the charm of the show, but it's all about
the questions.
You can hear that cheeky grin come through on the radio, though.
You can hear the cheeky grin.
There's a silence.
Especially when there's a sports person called Fanny Schmeller.
Yeah, the famous German ski jumper.
And number one on the list of the top six ways to save money
on the RNZ-TVNZ merger, the name.
Yeah.
Whoa, what do we call it?
RTVNZ, done.
You just put Chucking One on the front.
Yeah.
Or TVRNZ, done.
TV Radio New Zealand.
Let's not overthink this.
Yeah.
You're making it too complicated. I know there's VTNZ, but there's also TVNZ. So Chuck an R in there. Let's not overthink this. Yeah. You're making it too complicated.
I know there's VTNZ, but there's also TVNZ.
So chuck an R in there, it's going to clear up the whole issue.
VTNZ should also join the merger.
Yes.
R, R, TV, V, NZ.
Yeah.
You radio, you TV, and you're wearing a fitness.
Of course.
All in one stop.
That's streamlining.
And that's what I'm all about here At Vaughan Smith Media Consultancies
That's today's top six
I'm trying to think about the last time
I went to the hairdresser
And said I want this haircut
You know when you go like
Oh this celeb
I want to look like this celeb
It was the Rachel for ages
Yeah
Yeah but it's
Yeah you're setting yourself up for failure
Because it looks good on them
But it's not going to look good on you.
No, how many girls got a Zooey Deschanel fringe?
Yeah, it wasn't for them.
It wasn't for them.
Or when those big, like, glasses that Justin Bieber was wearing
for a while there and they kind of had a Jeffrey Dahmer vibe to them.
They were like, well, I might, you know,
get my prescription lenses updated to them.
And then they walked in and you're just like, probably not.
But at least they can take those off, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, you can.
Whereas a haircut, you're stuck with it
until it grows out.
Well, you're just stuck with it for quite some time.
Well, this unintentionally happened to a woman
who hilariously has shared her experience on TikTok.
She has, let me paint a picture,
quite like a round face,
like a circular face as opposed to oval bright big blue
eyes a dark brow um very sort of pale beautiful skin and she has curly hair naturally yeah so she
wanted to get what's on trend which is like the shag which is kind of like the the girl mullet
shaggy kind of thing then her hair would sit all kind of shaggy.
And then someone pointed out to her,
she looks exactly like Elijah Wood as Frodo.
She's a Frodo Baggins.
She's a Frodo Baggins.
It also doesn't help she has a similar facial structure.
Very similar facial structure.
And the big blue eyes.
And the big blue eyes, yeah.
And the sort of strong natural brow.
Like she straight up could double for him.
And then when she discovered this and put it on TikTok being like,
oh my God, I literally look like Elijah Wood from Lord of the Rings.
Everyone was like laughing and she was like, no, no, no, no.
This rules.
I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan.
Oh, wow.
Oh, she's happy about it.
Yeah, she's like, I love it.
Maybe Elijah will see this and realise that I could just step in for him
if there was ever another sequel.
I know.
But I'm going to say it's a truly terrible haircut.
It does.
It doesn't look good, does it?
It's not great.
They haven't quite achieved, I think, what she was going for.
And we've all had this moment.
I like when someone does ask a hairdresser for a specific haircut,
gets the exact haircut, but then it's the hairdresser's fault.
Because they don't look like a Hollywood movie star.
Yeah, and it doesn't suit their face,
but the hairdresser should totally have known that,
even though it's exactly what I asked for.
Yeah, it's not their fault.
When I was at drama school, I'm wondering if I can find a photo.
No, I can't.
I Zooey Deschanel'd myself. Because all the cool girls had fringes
Yeah
But what all the cool girls also had
Was like thick hair
You gotta have thick hair
To wrap a fringe
I've got minimal hair
I've got the bare minimum
And so I had it
And it was like this stringy
Scrappy looking thing
And my face is not the right shape
I got done dirty
by my hairdresser
who should have said
this won't suit your face.
No, that's on you though,
not her.
No, she should have
told me.
But you imagine
how insulting it would be
if hairdressers were
brutally honest with people.
They're rocking the line
after the
Billie Eilish.
I just needed it.
No, it won't work
with your big dumb square head.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, right. Oh, Billie Eilish, here just needed it. No, it won't work with your big, dumb, square head. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, right.
Billie Eilish, here's why.
They'll probably break it to you slightly gently.
Yeah, I think they're getting better at it.
I thought we could take some calls and get some messages in.
When the hairdresser did you dirty?
Made you look like Frodo bloody Baggins.
Or when you did yourself dirty.
Because it's not their fault.
Yeah, it's not. fault. Yeah, it's
not. Unless they accidentally cut
a fringe off or, you know,
cut it too short.
They thought they misheard you.
I've asked my friend
who's a hairdresser who does my hair, Shari,
I've asked her before, like, have you ever really
botched something up? And she said
once she was dyeing someone's hair from one colour
to another and then she lifted it and it had gone green
like something had happened chemically.
And she was like, oh, in the shower, like
get it out. Yeah.
But then fixed it. But yeah.
When did the hairdresser do you dirty or when did you really
just make
a terrible call on a haircut?
Yeah, terrible instruction.
There is a girl who has shared on
Instagram, she was sort of going for more of like the Patti Smith shag,
you know, a kind of cool rock and roll vibe.
And instead she straight up looks like Frodo Baggins.
Like uncanny.
Her eyes and facial features make her look a lot like Elijah Wood.
Bilbo.
Yeah, very much so.
And she's happy about it.
He says Gandalf.
Gandalf.
Yeah, and that voice.
Gandalf.
Someone.
Never seen it.
You are missing out.
That's so good.
Hayley, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
Good.
When did the hairdresser do you dirty?
Oh, well, I was quite young at the time,
and I went to the hairdresser and asked for a haircut to the tip of my ears,
thinking I was getting a bob, but I got a very short pixie cut instead.
Oh, no, they're different.
They're different.
They're different.
And I didn't have the face to pull it off.
Oh, no.
Not many people do. Bob's not a pixie. And you've got to wait until it grows out, right? Like, they're different. They're different. They're different. And I didn't have the face to pull it off. Oh, no. Not many people do.
Bob's not a pixie.
And you've got to wait until it grows out, right?
Like, you can't.
There's absolutely nothing you can do.
Yeah, right.
Oh, my God.
How long ago was this?
I was still in primary school.
Oh, no.
Kind of like maybe 10, 12.
Yeah.
You don't get teased in primary school, do you?
No, I don't remember hearing anybody talking about it,
but I was mortified.
I mean, if it happened at high school, different kettle of fish.
Oh, yeah, and it would have matched perfectly with my braces.
Yeah, cool.
Hot, Hayley.
There was always that kid, though, that did have to shave their hair off
because they got nits at primary school.
Oh, yeah.
And then they had to go through the pixie cut phase.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Oh, gosh.
Hayley, thanks for your call.
Andrea, good morning.
When did hairdresser do you dirty?
I actually did myself dirty.
Oh, okay.
What did you do?
Kinda.
Well, so when I was in form two,
my auntie had this amazing haircut
where it was spiky on the top and long at the back,
and I was like, I need that, right?
What, the fair mullet?
The fair mullet?
Well, it was actually a mullet, yeah, but the top part was totally spiky.
So I get to school on the Monday, and my friend's like,
what have you done to your hair?
Because she could see it through my helmet.
She could see the spikes sticking up.
Oh, no.
I did not want to take my helmet off.
Can we get a year that this happened?
80s?
95.
Oh, wow.
Maybe more acceptable in the 80s.
Yeah, wow.
95, that's rough.
Andrea, thanks for your call.
Sally, when did the hairdresser do you dirty?
I was in my early 20s,
and I went from blonde hair to red hair.
Thinking like a nice deep red.
Unfortunately, it went bright orange.
Oh, no.
Yeah, and I happened to work with quite a large group of men at the time, young men.
And I walked into work and everybody just went, oh, my God, what the hell happened to your hair?
Like, there was no beating around the bush.
Everybody who saw it was just like, what on earth happened?
How did you fix it?
Well, within a week, I put a packet dye over it.
Yeah, of course you did.
That's the only way that women would always fix a botched haircut.
Was it like Ronald McDonald red?
Well, no, it was like the colour of an orange orange.
That's sort of what I'm going for at the moment.
Like Hayley from Paramore, that's what I want.
Yeah, I think I was probably going for that, you know,
like the cool red, but it just literally went by orange.
Oh, babe.
Sally, thanks.
You're cool.
Gina, when did the hairdresser do you dirty?
I spent a bit of time in China when I was younger,
about 15 years ago,
and everything was really cheap over there.
Well, it was then anyway.
Yeah.
So they were like,
oh, you could get your hair chemically straightened
and completely dyed,
and it's only like 20 bucks.
I was like, oh, sweet.
It's so cheap,
and it took like a whole day,
and I was like, well, while I'm here,
I might as well get a friend.
No.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, whole day. And I was like, well, while I'm here, I might as well get a fringe. No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
I was like, why?
Oh, your face is much too fat for that.
Oh, okay.
So I didn't get a fringe.
I sat there in silence.
But then about a week later, I was like, you know, it's like, I mean, goodness sake, I could do that.
So I did it and they were right.
No, fringes are hard.
One, to cut.
And two, yeah, no.
I should have listened to them.
Not all faces suit a fringe.
But they warned you, so that's on you.
I love their warning.
Your face is too fat.
You're like, ouch.
You've got to love the honesty.
I'll show you.
No, she's right.
They were right.
Amazing.
Gina, thanks.
You called some messages in.
So we're hearing from some hairdressers who are out to defend their industry.
Hairdresser hair.
I've totally told people that styles
aren't going to suit their face shape
and I can't say it's ever gone down well.
Yeah.
But I want people to be honest with me
and I'll be honest with people.
I had a kid once that asked for his hair
to be cut like his dad's.
I said, sure, no problem.
Tell me what dad's hair is like.
And he's like, it's kind of short,
but on the top it's got a hole.
He wanted to get his
bald spot like his dad.
Oh my god, that's so cute.
Oh, it's so cute.
People have been, yeah, a few other people
have been told by hairdressers
that that's not going to suit them, and then
they go to another hairdresser and really push the case,
get it done, and the first hairdresser was right.
Yeah. I see a lot of hair
you know
I know
because you're sticking up
for hairdressers
it would be hard
to tell people
you know as well
at the moment
because you're sitting there
in that stupid apron
to the neck
and you look like a doodle
and then they cut it
and you're like
uh oh
uh oh
terrible mistake
maybe it's the apron
maybe it's the apron
they take the apron off
and you're like
damn it
maybe it's their mirror maybe it's the mirror oh get home you get in the car maybe it's the apron. They take the apron off and you're like, damn it. Maybe it's their mirror.
Maybe it's
the mirror.
Or get home,
you get in
the car.
Maybe it's
because I'm
sitting down.
Yeah,
yeah.
I think it's
the light.
Tomorrow it'll
mess up a bit.
Yeah,
yeah.
My mum was a
hairdresser and
there were many,
many times people
would come with
pictures with
haircuts they
wanted and mum
would literally
say her line
was,
I can cut
your hair like
that but I
can't change
your face.
Mum's a
bitch.
Mum is telling it like it is.
I like that.
Karen's salon.
I asked for a number two all over.
The guy gave me a fringe because he thought it would suit me.
I looked terrible.
With a number two?
Yeah, a number two and a fringe.
Do you remember that in the 90s?
It was the only haircut we were allowed as kids.
My mum did not want us having long hair.
You did have it.
You showed me a childhood photo the other day and you had it.
Yeah, number four with a little fringe.
And the fringe wasn't allowed to be any longer than our eyebrows.
And one time before my uncle and auntie's wedding,
there was no tie.
Like, the hairdresser didn't have any appointments.
So mum cut the fringe.
Our fringe was the same shape as our head
oh no
I believe there's a name for that type of fringe
and it rhymes with fringe
oh really
is that what makes it a
fringe
it follows the
yeah like when it's short and above the brows
and it goes down around as well
it's such a shame when you did have hair, you didn't...
I didn't do the right things with it.
You didn't do the right things with it, yeah.
God, I tell you what.
I miss the boobies touching the back of the head.
Oh, my God, boy.
Teenage born.
Teenage born getting his mince rinds trimmed.
Wow, what a piece.
With a big bosom of a late 30s woman on the back of my head
and touching my shoulder.
What a time to be alive!
Wow.
Thank God they had the cape.
When do you charge your phone?
Overnight and in the car.
Sounds like I'm emotional.
Did you just burp? It's okay. No, no, no. It sounded like you went in the car. Sounds like I'm emotional. Did you just burp?
It's okay.
No, no, no.
It sounded like you went in the car.
No, just choking up.
I just choked up a little bit.
In the car, you put it on the cradle.
You put it on the cradle.
Plug it in.
Put it in the cup holder.
Yeah.
Put it in the cup holder in the chandelier.
Yeah.
Apple plan in my car.
Oh, babe.
What about you, Fletch?
Overnight, I've got a little thing that does that in my watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Oh, nice. What about you, Fletch? Overnight. I've got a little thing that does that in my watch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice, nice, nice.
Nice.
One charging credit.
Yeah, three in one and my AirPods.
Oh, he's got AirPods too.
Must be nice.
Must be nice.
I don't even have a bedside table at the moment,
so it's a mess of thought for the rest of it.
Sorry, I didn't expect this segment to get so emotional.
Well, a fireman.
What?
He could be considered
a handsome fellow.
Have you ordered
the fireman calendar yet?
No.
It's a fireperson calendar.
Fireperson calendar.
Have you ordered that?
Nah.
It's not
not porny enough
for me anymore.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
It's gone all prudish.
Oh, my God.
It's gone prudish.
There's kids because they're raising money.
There's clothes.
I love that they're raising money.
I mean, they could be raising money for themselves.
They could be playing the selfish game
because the last phase of the fire service
is horrifically underfunded.
I know.
They all need new trucks and new hoses.
Their hose has got a leak in it.
You know what a pain in the ass is that in the garden.
Yeah.
They need better pay.
Give it to them.
I say.
Yeah, but they could be
raising money for themselves
but still selflessly out there
raising money for other causes.
Yeah, they're good people.
Well, a fireman is taking
to TikTok to share
that why he thinks
you should break the habit
of charging your phone at night.
My question back to him is,
when am I supposed to charge it?
Yeah.
Because I'm on it.
Yeah, and I'm mobile.
18 hours a day.
I'm on it and I'm walking.
I feel if I worked at a desk,
like I had a desk job, I'd have a charger there.
You are literally sitting at a desk right now.
Nah, but we're here for like four hours.
Also, we just woke up. It's freshly charged.
Yeah, exactly.
No, but if you worked a nine to five, I'd have a
desk charger and I'd leave it on that.
And then you wouldn't need to charge it overnight.
The fear of my alarm not going off, like my phone dying
overnight, is so great
that I would never not charge my phone. But your phone keeps
enough reserve battery
for the alarm to go off even if the phone goes flat.
Really? Yeah. Spoken like someone
that's been late to work 40
times. Yeah.
Well, yeah, thanks for your advice.
The alarm went off, I just did not get out of bed.
We're not taking your advice, Mr. Walking the World.
Yeah, please don't be offended.
15 minutes before the show starts.
He says, given some reasons as to why you shouldn't charge your phone overnight,
because most people plug it in and put it on their bedside table next to their head.
Number one, you can't smell anything when you're asleep.
So if it was to start to burn, the fire will not wake you up.
Number two, it only takes...
Smoke alarm.
Have a smoke alarm in your bedroom.
Everyone should. You should definitely have a smoke alarm in your bedroom. Everyone should.
You should definitely have a smoke alarm in your bedroom.
Yeah, we've got one.
Number two, it only takes three breaths to knock you unconscious.
So it wouldn't take very long.
I like a flitch when he's on the nangs.
Poor Alan Smith.
I have got long COVID.
I'm not on the nangs.
He's not on the nangs.
He can't breathe at all. I can hardly even go for a walk, let alone on the nangs. He's not on the nangs. He can't breathe at all.
I can hardly even go for a walk, let alone on the nangs.
He's a nang fiend.
He said salacious.
Wow.
Salacious.
What is the name of your lawyer?
I shall start defamation proceedings.
This firefighter says that lithium ion batteries,
which are the small, lightweight, rechargeable batteries
that power our phones, laptops, cameras, and some e-cigarettes,
are prone to short-circuiting and catching on fire.
And also the cable, if it gets knocked a little bit,
the cable can catch on fire.
I think you've got to watch those cheap $2 charges,
$2 shop kind of charges. Okay, stop peddling your official Adderpool products at me.
I was going to say $40 for a cord.
$40 for a cord that I can get for $2?
Are you kidding me?
Same.
And does Apple make ones that are 8 metres long
so I can have it plugged into the wall and sit on the couch?
So walk around the house.
And not at all have to.
I've got one of those, and those are great.
Like a 3-metre cord. It's around the house. And not at all have to. I've got one of those and those are great.
Like a three metre cord.
It's wrapped in like beautiful flammable fabric.
Yeah.
It's for strength.
Is it?
Well, anyway,
this is your warning.
Consider this your warning.
Or maybe go and charge it
like in the room far away.
Charge it while you're watching TV.
Then you need it.
You need it.
Oh, everyone was supposed to watch TV and just watch the TV?
Apparently.
I'll get bored.
Could you charge it in a box, a fireproof box?
Open it up, plug it in, shut the box.
And then your alarm won't go off.
Yeah, and the alarm will be like.
How's the plug working?
So quiet.
It goes through a little hole.
Genius invention here.
I mean, I've been charging my phone overnight
for literally since they invented the iPhone
and I haven't burned down a house yet.
Yeah, but it does happen.
It's like saying, well, I've been driving.
Yeah, but that's like saying I'm not going to walk home
because I could get hit by a car.
That's why I don't walk home.
You drive.
I drive.
I hit people a lot.
But it's the far better end of the situation. That's why I don't walk home. You drive. I drive. I hit people a lot.
But it's the far better end of the situation. Yeah.
Bad news if you use WhatsApp,
because according to Cyber News,
a screenshot that they have posted on a website,
Breach Forums,
is offering the sale of a database
containing the phone numbers of 487 million WhatsApp users from 84 countries. Now, that
includes 1.8 million Kiwi WhatsApp users. Wow. Now, apparently they've commented to
the Times of India, WhatsApp,
saying that it's unsubstantiated screenshots
and that there's no evidence of a data breach.
But there have been a sample of phone numbers
and people have compared those
and it does look like they are legitimate WhatsApp users.
I usually use WhatsApp with a number
that I'm not going to have for a long time.
You know, like when I'm overseas,
I'll put in a SIM card and I always use WhatsApp.
And a lot of people have family group chats.
Mums love a WhatsApp.
Mums always on WhatsApp.
It was the original group chat app before Messenger.
Yes.
Yeah.
I feel like I've been using WhatsApp for group chats for ages
and then Messenger.
And there's end-to-end encryption.
So it does have end-to-end encryption.
You can encrypt your backup as well.
But what they're saying is it doesn't look like,
it just looks like it's numbers at this stage, phone numbers.
So it doesn't look like it's, you know.
They can't see what you're buying with that end-to-end encryption.
No, they can't see what you're sending, that kind of thing.
So CERT New Zealand said to one. now CERT, what does that stand for?
C-E-R-T.
Cyber.
Engagement.
Real time.
Real time.
That works.
It works.
I mean, it works for me.
They've said in a statement that they're aware of the incident
and that they've assessed the information
and they do not believe it's a serious or
imminent security threat to New Zealand.
They're saying though that you should have
I just turned it on, two-factor authentication?
Yes. How do you do that?
Settings?
Privacy. Account.
Settings and then account
and then two-step verification.
So that means nobody could clone
your number and kind of take over your account.
But they're saying that where the...
Sorry, I'm just putting in my pin.
One, two, three, one, two, three.
They're saying where the annoyance will be
and I guess the trouble could come
is that you're going to get a lot of phishing scams.
Yeah, I love those phone calls.
They're fun.
No, but things like, hey,
we've got your courier parcel.
Oh my god, that's so good.
You'll never get those on WhatsApp.
That's my rule.
Once they've got your number, they'll text you.
Yeah.
They've got your phone number.
So they're saying be aware of
that coming up because
and it's so cheap to buy these data packs.
Like, for example, 7.3 million Australians numbers are out there.
You can buy all of UK's WhatsApp numbers on this website,
11 million of them for $2,500 US dollars.
Right.
So for five grand, you can have 11 million numbers
that if you were a scammer or
a fisher. Or just looking for the one.
You know, like looking
for Mr. Right, Mrs.
Right. You think you're going to find your next
partner by scamming. Within 11 million people
there should be one person. These are the ones I
get heaps. Thomas, it's me, Laura.
My phone got my data back. Just found
your number. But it's from a plus
4-4 or this way.
I'll be there in the start of January.
Hope you'll have a better month and we still play golf together
when I go to Queenstown.
Oh, my God.
Golf in Queenstown.
That sounds fun.
That sounds great.
That does actually sound good.
You should invite yourself along.
I've got some spare time.
Oh, this one.
I haven't heard from you for a long time due to the epidemic.
I cannot go to New Zealand.
How is the epidemic prevention situation in New
Zealand? I plan to travel to New Zealand in
February next year. I hope we can meet again and it's a
woman I've never seen before. She's hot
though. Yeah, I know that's how they get you.
Jeepers, she is hot.
Also, it's a pandemic, isn't it?
Mark, it's Jessie. I've called your number. Please reply promptly
when you get this message. Yours has been
hacked. I never get this stuff.
I get a few from Barley. I get the odd text message
and the annoying calls
all the time.
I get annoying calls
from like Robo.
Yeah, the career ones.
But yeah, so turn on
two-factor authentication
on your WhatsApp
and you just be safe out there.
I like talking to them sometimes.
No, don't.
Have a nice long weekend,
Mr. Smith.
I'm Jenny.
My aunt, Wang Lee,
gave me your phone number.
Please help me find a 500 square metre shop in Auckland.
I said, my goodness, that's a sizable shop.
What are we opening?
And ah, yes, Wang Lee, a very good friend of mine.
Indeed, I haven't heard from her for quite some time.
What part of Auckland are we looking at?
And is that where the conversation is?
And then they stopped.
No, because when you engage with these people,
then your number goes on a list of active users.
And then you get more and more.
Excuse me, dear sir, are you Jack the Tour Guide?
What is the current situation in New Zealand?
There's so many.
It's I, Jack the Tour Guide.
It sounds like somebody's been signing up to some websites, doesn't it?
You can't even sign up to those websites.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.
Recently, Jason Momoa, he was on Kimmel.
Was it Kimmel?
Fallon.
Kimmel.
And he took his clothes off.
Kimmel.
And he took his clothes off.
And so many people sent me the link.
And there was him fishing when he was in Hawaii.
With his buttocks out.
So many people sent me the link.
Has he not been filming his new movie
In Hawaii on the big island
Which has just erupted
I know
I have photos from that eruption insane
I'm gonna go
Have you checked that he's okay?
I'm gonna go
You've made no secret that Jason Momoa
A Hollywood actor
He's just one of my favourite people in the world
And we haven't met
Do you know what I mean?
Do you mean favourite or hottest?
Just favourite.
There's so much more about him than his, like, extreme sexiness.
He's got one of them damn smiles that lights up a room.
Oh, my God, and he seems fun and he's chill and relaxed.
He loves New Zealand.
He's tall.
He's big.
He's hot.
He's hot.
He's hot.
Oh, boy.
And he's coming back.
He is coming back.
He was here a few months ago scouting for movie locations. Yes, so he is filming an Apple TV series called Yenadakine.
I don't know.
It's a Hawaiian name, so I said that absolutely wrong.
Wow, you're 1% Hawaiian too.
Yeah, I know.
Shame on you.
I'm sorry to my ancestors.
And it is the true story of a warrior chief caught up in the colonisation of Hawaii in the late 1700s.
He plays said chief.
Now, it's filming in the Bay of Islands out by our place in northwest Auckland and in Hawaii itself.
And they've been doing bigger auditions, which I've heard of.
Maybe I have a big man that I'm connected to
that could be offered an audition for this.
Oh.
And then I said to him,
if you meet Jason Mamoa
and he says that he wants to sleep with me,
could I do it?
And he was like, yeah.
So that's just,
I'm just going to say that.
You've had that conversation.
I've planted the seed.
So we're good.
We're good.
We're good.
We're good.
We're good.
We're good.
One's like, what?
That's a thing?
You asked that question?
Of course I did.
It is the great unasked, unspoken question.
Well, I wouldn't ask it about I saw some guy.
Right.
Like you wouldn't, like some trainer at the gym,
you wouldn't be like.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He's laughing at you.
He thinks it's not possible.
Oh my God, my own boyfriend thinks I'm ugly.
Wow.
No, anyway, so there are auditions.
Well, there's been a sort of a public cry
or public call for auditions for extras
to be in this series.
And so many people have been messaging me
on my Instagram.
My Instagram, which clearly says comedian actor
in Marching Girl,
just saying, oh, my God, you should so audition for this.
You should so audition to play an actor.
And I guess I just wanted to take this opportunity just to remind people that I have a degree in acting.
I went to the New Zealand Drama School.
I went there for three years.
It cost me 41.
I've just actually opened my IOD just to remind people $41,561.10.
Right.
That was your student loan.
That was my student loan to get my degree in acting.
Right.
So you're saying that being an extra, even to get close to Jason Momoa is below you?
I've done some extra work before when I was about 17, 18, 19 years old
before I spent 41, sorry,
what was the number?
$41,561.10 for an acting degree.
Right.
Do you feel like sometimes I feel that, you know,
you might study somebody else's way of doing it
without really knowing how to be yourself.
So maybe it's important at this stage to step back.
No, step back. No. Step back.
No, I'm charging forward.
No.
Down the ladder, back down,
couple of runs down the ladder.
No.
But I don't think that people think that it's,
they just want you to be closer to your idol.
That's why they're sending this to you.
What I've also done is I've opened up my agent's website,
Auckland Actors,
and you can find my profile there,
which has all my credits and
stuff, things that I've
been in and things that I've done. It also has
my skills and I just feel
like, I mean, are you really going to put an actor
who has a $41,000 acting
degree to go to Toi Whakaare or Aotearoa
New Zealand Drama School? It's the number one school.
Skills such as xylophone,
horse riding,
full licence,
alto and swimming.
Full licence.
Are you really going to put that woman as an extra?
Nine lead actors that started as extras.
Brad Pitt.
Yeah, but I did extra work before I got my acting degree.
Yeah, but it's not below Brad Pitt.
Channing Tatum.
Oh, yes.
But before they were sort of a bit more successful,
they did that work.
Renee Zalweger. Oh, yeah. Renee before they were sort of a bit more successful, they did that work. Renee Zalweger.
Oh, yeah.
Renee Zalweger has done so good.
But like I mentioned, I've done some extra work before.
You might see me in Home by Christmas dying on a train.
You might recognise me.
Oh, my God.
That was the telling of the Tangawai disaster, wasn't it?
It was indeed, yeah.
And how did you die on the train?
They put a carriage in a pool at Avalon Studios in Lower Hutt
and they said action and you had to go,
ah, ah, and swim.
It was better than that.
It was a bit better than that.
Well, it's been a few years since I've dropped into that character,
so she's left me.
Right.
But you may have noticed me as an extra in there.
Yeah, because if that's how you died,
maybe a bit more extra work would probably be alright
to kind of build up again.
What about when you were an extra in What They Do In The Shadows
and then they cut your scene?
Yeah, but it's in the DVD.
It's in the DVD extras.
Right, okay.
You wouldn't lower your standards
to be closer to Momoa?
No, because Momoa wouldn't mingle with the extras.
Also, read out what they're looking for in their extras.
I don't know if you fit the bill.
I don't have that ad open.
I've only got the news article about it.
What are they looking for?
They were looking for people with strong visual,
the one that I saw,
a strong visual presence of their Pacific Island ancestry.
Excuse me, I am 19%
Maori and I am 1%
Hawaiian. That's 20% Polynesian.
What more are you looking for?
20% is what I consider strong.
20%?
Is 20% a strong result?
I'm literally Hawaiian.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson is a good man.
You know, like, you always see him doing nice things on social media.
Like, just even just, like, winding down his window
when people are, like, freaking out.
He gives them some money or gives them some food or whatever.
That's what we all said about Will Smith, too.
And then he slapped a man in the face on stage, didn't he?
God, he's made another apology, isn't he?
Yeah, that's what made me think about that.
But no, he always works hard.
He's always in like a bajillion movies.
He just doesn't stop working.
And he works out like so much every day.
In interviews, he's always nice.
Generous.
It's exhausting to watch.
Yeah, like, dude, he's a good dad.
He's amazing.
And he's hot.
Well, he recently went back to his hometown in Hawaii where he grew up.
He said he was penniless.
They got evicted from their house.
And he went back to the 7-Eleven just by his house where at the age of 14,
he used to drop by every single day and steal a king-size Snickers bar before heading to the gym.
And he shared, he said, look, I was penniless at the time
and the chocolate bar was my pre-daily workout fuel.
Yum.
How did he get away with stealing one every day?
He said that the cashier lady would just turn her head
and never once busted him for his actions.
He was also huge when he was a teenager.
So she was probably like rightly intimidated by this teenager
who was just walking in and brazenly stealing every morning.
Yeah.
So then there's the clip of him.
It's amazing.
He's in the 7-Eleven.
He's gone back.
This is this week.
He went back.
He went up to the cashier and asked where all the Snickers bars are.
Yeah. And then he cleared asked where all the Snickers bars are. Yeah.
And then he cleared the whole rack of Snickers bars and he took them to the store and he paid for them.
And a hefty tip.
In order to make, in order to right his wrongs from when he was 14 years old. Okay, but yeah.
Same owner though?
So dairy's changed hands all the time.
Yeah, and also inflation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, he said, look, I've exercised a few big demons over the years.
So I know this one seems very silly,
but every time I come back home to Hawaii and I drive by 7-Eleven,
I always know I need to go in there and clean out the Snickers bars right away.
You can't change the past and the dumb stuff we may have done,
but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace to a situation.
So does he say how many he thinks he stole over that time?
Like was clearing the shelf enough to pay them back?
I mean, probably, probably.
There were heaps.
Like in the photo, he's got, it's like, I don't know.
Oh, you're like 30?
Yeah, 30 or 40.
No, I'd say more than that Yeah
Also like
Statue of Limitations
Right?
Statute
Statute
Statute of Limitations
There is a beautiful
Limited statue
As well
Yes there is
But he
They couldn't do anything
About that
Because that would have
Been like 20 years ago
He had like
Felt so guilty about it
After all this time
Yeah
So I would like
To take this opportunity
To apologise To my old friend From primary school so guilty about it after all this time. Yeah. So I would like to take this opportunity to apologise
to my old friend from
primary school, Catherine Atkinson.
Okay, what did you do to her? I stole
her plastering turtle
figure from
Mr Simpson's class
and I had it in my hand and I had this
urge and so I just squished it.
And she never knew. So
Catherine, I'm going to send you some
plasticine to right my wrongs.
Do you even know where she is now? Yeah, she still lives in
Eastbourne. Okay. Because she was
going to have that amazing sculpture career
but her dreams were crushed at the age of
primary age and she never got
to. She's just been sitting at home
rocking back and forth every
day since. Saying why, why,
why. It was my magnum opus, why, why, why.
But I want to know, like, is there something in your life
that you do still feel guilty about?
Is that something you still feel guilty about?
I think about it and I'm like, what a dick.
Like, what a dumb, you know, and I do, I feel bad for it.
I'm not talking about the huge things, like, you know,
I murdered a man and I shouldn't have done that.
But those little things.
He wronged me and my family, though, so I should feel no guilt.
Oh, absolutely.
But those little things that kind of like still nibble at you and be like, ah.
Yeah, maybe you did.
I still feel a bit.
Walk off with something.
Yeah.
You stole something.
You stole something or you said something to someone or, you know, you said something
mean to your mum once and it still
like, eats you alive?
Even like years later? Yeah, what is it like
from years ago that you still
hang on to, that you still feel guilty about? Have you ever said
something? Boy, I was just saying, when you said
about your mum, I'm so, I never ever
said I hate you to my parents. Neither.
I never ever said it because I reckon
now it would be, being a parent, it would be one of
those things that did.
I did.
I said I hate you and I'm my real mum.
To the woman that is definitely your mother.
I definitely said I wish I was never born.
Yeah, I said you hate me.
Yeah.
But I never said I hate you.
Yeah.
I said you all hate me. I said you don't know what it's like.
Yeah.
Yes.
All right, well, we want to take your calls.
What do you still feel guilty about doing or saying all these years later?
Like the rocks done.
Yeah, those little things.
Paid back as shoplifting Snickers bars.
Or maybe in a similar way, you have righted your wrong from many years ago.
Like anonymously.
Because a lot of people do that anonymously.
Like, here's some money for something I took years ago.
Yeah, maybe you used to steal from the collection tray at church.
All right, 0800-DARLS-IT-M.
Give us a call.
You can text us through 9696 with your message.
What are you still feeling guilty about?
Let's lift that weight off your shoulders.
A problem shared is a...
Problem cured.
Halved.
Halved.
I think it's halved.
Is that a saying?
Something like that. Yeah.
Unless the problem is an STI and then
it's doubled.
It's doubled.
Play ZM's Fletch
for the daily.
Play ZM.
We're talking about what you
still riddled with
guilt about years later.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson's gone back to the shop that he stole
Snickers bars from
and just bought them all and given them some money.
And said sorry.
Had photos.
I was a rat bag.
So we want to know what you feel guilty about.
Some like funny texts coming in,
but some real like heartfelt ones as well.
We've got to clear it.
We've got to clear it off our chest.
My parents split up and I had a weekend with my dad. He had zero
money, but he took me to make a necklace at the
art centre in Christchurch City.
And when we were looking at clasps to finish it
off, he picked up the 10 cent one, but I
said, no, I want that one. And I chose the one that was
worth $2
because it was shinier. I didn't understand the
concept of money. He let me have it
and it's haunted me for
20 years that I asked my dad who had
no money two years
when 10 cents would have done the job.
It's heavy, man.
It's heavy. It's heavy stuff.
That is so heavy.
Wow. Because you don't as a kid,
you don't really
have a concept of it. No, you don't
know the difference between that. And you don't want your
parents saying, look, can't afford it.
Because they don't want to burden you with that when you're a kid.
Somebody else said, I was best mates with Mikey Carpenter.
Now, that name might not ring a bell, but I'll explain it to you in a second.
I was best mates with Mikey Carpenter at primary school,
and marbles was the huge craze.
I went to his house and stole his only jumbo marble.
Denied I ever had it.
And I feel guilty about it to this day.
But years later, he became props boy on What Now?
And every time his eyes were poking through that little hat,
I felt like he was judging me for stealing his marble.
And now he's married to Kenora Lloyd,
so I feel like he won in the end,
but I've still got the giant marble,
and I still feel guilty about it.
Oh, my God, we know these people.
Send it to us. We'll give it back to them. Gemma, what and I still feel guilty about it. Oh, my God. We know these people. Send it to us.
We'll give it back to them.
Gemma, what do you still feel guilty about years later?
So it's a little bit like the marble story when I was a little kid.
Rubbers were the craze for little girls.
Yes.
Same.
And I swapped a rubber with one of my friends.
And then I decided I did not want to swap the rubber.
So I said,
can we swap back?
She said, no.
So I stole it.
I still got it.
I still got my rubber collection and that rubber is still
pride and pride at play.
Do you still have it?
Oh, wow.
I still have it.
Every time I look at it,
I'm like, uh-oh.
But that's why
a lot of people are saying
the object of their guilt
rather than giving it back,
they throw it away because they can't have people are saying the object of their guilt, rather than giving it back, they throw it away
because they can't have it as a constant reminder of the guilt.
No, I've kept mine and I'm sitting in the car with my daughter
who's just found out I stole somebody's truck.
No, daughter, listen, don't take after your mother.
She's a criminal.
That's why we should all aim to be with our children,
make them the better versions of what we were.
Yeah, true, true.
Gemma, thank you for your call.
Ava, what do you feel guilty
about all these years later?
I still feel really guilty
for the One Direction key ring
I stole from farmers
like a few years ago.
Oh my God, Ava.
Did it have all of them?
Did it have all of them?
No, it's just a Zayn one,
but I still had it.
I still had it
and she's still looking good.
To me, Zayn was, but I still had it. I still had it, and she's still looking good.
To me, Zayn was the hottest one.
I know everyone's a bit gaga over Harry Styles,
but Zayn's the hottest. But Harry was hot post.
Zayn was a bad boy.
He was the red flags before those.
Yeah.
He went toe-to-toe with Mama Hadid, didn't he?
And, I mean, that takes some balls.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, right.
How much was this worth?
I think it was
to be honest
it was in the clearance bin
so probably only like
five bucks
but to me
at the time
when I was like
10, 12
it was priceless.
Yeah right.
And can you go into
a farmer's department store
now without feeling guilty?
No absolutely not.
Every time she sees
a red dot anywhere
she's riddled with guilt.
Her nose bleeds and when it hits the ground, she looks and she's like,
my punishment.
Out, damn spot, out.
Thank you, Ava.
Olivia, what do you still feel bad about all these years later?
Well, when I was about nine, I really wanted this little toy from the warehouse,
so I decided to steal it, put it in my back pocket.
When we got home, my parents found it and had a wee chat with me
and told me I needed to take it back and apologise,
but I didn't want to tell them where I stole it from,
so I lied and said I took it from the kids' play section at Punkin' Patch.
Oh, wow.
When I took it back, though, the lady was a bit confused
because she said, I've never seen this toy before.
And I'm like, yeah, that's because I didn't get it.
Shut up.
Take it.
Take it.
Just take it.
Just take it.
Look here, Barbara, pumpkin patch, papakura.
Take that down and do it.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
And now as an adult, when you go to the warehouse,
are you tinged with remorse?
Not so much the warehouse, but maybe pumpkin patch.
Yeah, you're like, no regrets, man.
Bad boy for life.
Thank you, Olivia.
I will point out, though, if we keep shoplifting, prices go up.
Please don't.
Yeah.
Certainly not encouraging that behaviour.
Yeah, of course we're not.
Of course we're not.
Don't roll your eyes at me.
I'm just covering our lovely arses.
Somebody said, we've got great arses.
Farmer's Girl,
who we talked to before,
re One Direction.
Yeah.
They said,
this is what they did.
They stole,
and as an adult,
they went onto the inflation calculator,
which you can find online.
Yes.
Found out how much it was worth
in modern times,
went to that store,
bought a gift card
worth the same amount,
and then cut it up.
What?
So they made a donation to the store that they stole from with inflation. So writing the wrong, balancing it up. What? So they made a donation to the store that they
stole from with inflation.
So writing them wrong, balancing it all out.
They did. They literally balanced
the books. Wow.
Cut it up. Yeah.
The irony of when I stole a Jesus emblem
from the $2 shop and every time I looked at Jesus'
judgy eyes, all I could imagine him saying
was, you shouldn't have stole me.
What would Jesus do? You shouldn't have stole me what would Jesus do you shouldn't have
stolen me
put me back
put me back Sarah
so if you
if you stole something
that was worth
five dollars
in the first half
of the year 2000
it would be worth
today eight dollars
sixty three
that's big
big money
okay so what would
you round that up
to a ten and be
happy with yourself
actually then
they owe you one
yeah absolutely
so you could go
and nick maybe some lollies or something.
Nick a couple of little things.
Yeah.
My mum used to drive me once a month, two hours to a special orthodontist
because my teeth were so messed up.
She always tried to make it special and stop at this little cafe
at about the halfway point for a break and a treat.
Always had a treat.
One day when I was in a real little mood with her,
I said I didn't even like stopping there and I don't want to stop there again.
And I, to this day, feel so bad because
my mum was trying to make what was a horrible
trip for me once a month, a little
bit lighter, with a treat. And I still
feel bad about it 15 years later.
Have you said anything to her? You've got to ring your mum.
You've got to ring your mum.
I feel really bad about it.
Ring her and get the mum on the line.
I was on Susie Kato's 3pm show when I was about it. Get the mum. Ring her and get the mum on the line. I was on Suzy Kato's 3 p.m. show when I was about 10.
Absolute dream come true.
During the show, Suzy showed a picture that a friend drew.
She thought it was I that did it.
I never corrected Suzy.
I took 100% full credit for this on the television.
To this day, I feel guilty about the fact
that Susie Caddo must believe I'm a better artist
than I truly am.
I think Susie has long forgotten.
You should feel guilty for stealing your friend's
moment in the spotlight.
Your friend should have been on the show.
Oh my god,
there's so many just good, like this is
when
this is rattling around and this is living
right free in people's heads we've got so much on our chest i know uh when i was about five i
stole a card with a sunflower on it from my to 10 while dad was playing i hit it on my under my bed
for years i every time i saw it i was like oh no oh no i'm 30 and i still think about it every time
i step foot into my to 10. Oh my God.
I remember that feeling like seeing the thing you stole and just being like,
what have you done?
Yeah, that's why so many people chuck it away.
I stole a little mini perfume when I was a kid and I can't remember the name of the perfume,
but God, every now and then I'll smell it and this feeling just goes whoosh in my stomach.
The smell of guilt.
I stole a Maggie Simpson figurine from one of my friends at primary school.
They had the whole Simpsons family set.
Not after you stole Maggie.
I always felt guilty because I broke up the Simpsons.
And then instead of getting it back, I threw it out
because I didn't want to be caught with it.
I didn't want to have to admit that I'd stolen.
God, guys.
What's that thing where they give you a, is it clemency?
Amnesty.
Amnesty. Amnesty.
An amnesty.
We hereby pardon you all.
Of these sins.
Of these sins.
Yeah, because nobody's killed anybody.
I was in a mousetrap competition, you know the game,
the board game mousetrap was in the competition,
and a kid knocked a slice of their cheese off the table.
Now if the cheese, so I picked it up and added it to my pile
and I ended up winning by one slice of cheese
Oh jeepers
That's insane
So much guilt
I was watching
the Aladdin videotape when I was
eight and my dog was being put down outside by
the vet. Mum and dad asked if I wanted to say goodbye
but I kept watching Aladdin as it was the good bit
It's haunted me for years and years that I ended up
throwing the tape in the bin and I
couldn't stand being
around it because it
cost me my final
farewell to my dog.
But what bit was it?
Because of all this
Prince Ali, fabulous
here, Ali Ababwa.
Never seen it.
That is the best part.
I wouldn't leave that
for nothing.
Nah.
Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Just before we get to fact of the day.
It is blowing my mind because we're finished.
Talking about the things that are still,
you're riddled with guilt about.
The text messages just keep flowing in.
People need like a,
they need to get this off their chest.
Yeah.
We need a whole segment like this.
Like a confessional.
Get it off the chest. Get it off your chest. We need a whole segment like this Like a confessional Get it off the chest
Yeah
Get it off your chest
I found a cool picture when I was 12
I told my dad I drew it
He later got it tattooed on his forearm
How could I tell him after that?
You can't
You cannot
Oh my god
I'll give you $100 if we can call your dad and you break the news to him
When I say I'll give you $100, Car can call your dad and you break the news to him.
When I say I'll give you $100, Carwin, do we have $100?
We had a cat that used to chase me.
We had a cat that used to chase me.
And one day I was running to get in the car,
and I accidentally jammed the cat's head in the door.
No.
What?
I was six, and I didn't want to tell mum or dad,
so I put the cat under the back wheel.
My sister had been reversing the car for dad and she took the blame
and the cat had to be put down
because of the injuries it sustained in the door slam.
That's on somebody's...
Get it off! Get it off!
Everybody, get it off!
Get it off! Get it off!
No, that one's bad.
That one's bad.
Vaughn!
I'm now nearly 50.
When I was at primary school, my parents were poor.
They bought me an expensive raincoat.
I didn't want to wear the raincoat because it wasn't cool,
so I hid it in the cupboard in my classroom and I said I lost it.
You're pardoned.
You're pardoned.
You're pardoned.
That is so sad.
That's what they said.
This person says thank you for pardoning me.
Is everybody okay to pardon the raincoat?
I can pardon the raincoat.
I'll pardon the raincoat, yeah.
It was an accident.
The cat was chasing them.
Aggressively.
I didn't do it.
It wasn't my story. This person, I pardon you. I The cat. It was an accident. The cat was chasing them. Aggressively. I didn't do it. It wasn't my story.
This person, I pardon you.
I pardon you.
We all make mistakes.
But I would also, like your sister is living with guilt thinking she backed over the cat.
You've got to, now I've pardoned you, but you've got to alleviate her of her guilt.
That could be a Christmas present.
Just get a big box and inside write, by the way, it was me.
It was me.
I killed the cat.
I killed the cat.
Right now, time for. Wait a minute. By the way, it was me. It was me. I killed the cat. It was me. I killed the cat. Right now, time for...
Wait a minute.
My grandma picked me up
from primary school.
I felt embarrassed
and made her walk
10 metres behind me.
I still feel guilty
about this.
Oh, Nanny.
No.
You're never supposed
to be embarrassed
of your grandparents.
That's the rule.
You're embarrassed
of your parents.
Is she dead?
Probably.
They do have a nasty
habit of dying on you.
These people that are
the generation above you
that understand the people
better, they understand you better than the people that gave birth to you. You people that are the generation above you that understand the people better, they understand you better
than the people
that gave birth to you.
Are you crying?
You're never supposed
to be embarrassed
when you're saying it.
That is horrific.
That's so sad.
But,
I pardon you.
No.
You're pardoned.
I don't think that one
should be pardoned.
No,
your nana wouldn't want
you to be living with,
your nan wouldn't want
you to be living with a cat.
No,
your nana died being like,
oh,
my granddaughter's a bitch.
All right,
it's time for Fact of the nan and dad being like, oh, my granddaughter's a bitch. All right, it's time for
Fact of the Day,
day, day, day, day.
Yeah. I feel weighed down from the burdens of other people.
I just want people to know that.
God, no wonder everybody's anxious.
Dude, are you kidding me?
Exactly right.
People can't let go of things they did 40 years ago.
You've got to let go of these things.
Riddled with anxiety and guilt.
Let's just let it go.
Maybe some breathing.
Would anybody care to join me in a couple of deep breaths?
Into the nose, out through the mouth.
Slower from you, please.
Slower from your rushing.
Oh, you've got long COVID.
Forgiven.
You take your shallow breaths.
Thank you.
We should do this every morning at the finish of the show.
No, because people will drive off the road.
It should become tradition that we do a breath. Breath for the day. show. No, because people will drive off the road. It should become tradition that we do a breath.
Breath of the day.
They'll be so relaxed they'll drive off the road.
Yeah, we don't want that.
Today's fact of the day.
25% of all animal species on Earth are beetles.
Sorry?
Beetles?
Beetles.
25% of all known animal species on Earth are beetles.
Seems a bit high, Vaughn.
I haven't seen that many.
I thought a couple of them were dead.
You're not going to top that.
I like that.
You're not going to top that.
I'm not even going to attempt it.
That was nice.
That's alleviated some of the guilt.
Thank you.
Unless you're Mark Chapman and you shot John Lennon,
then you should be riddled with the love you cost us,
our beetle.
Today's fact of the day is that 25% of the world's known species
are beetles.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
That's it.
When I was eight, we had a boarder living with us in our house.
He had a bowl on his dresser where he kept all of his coins.
It was all of the spare money he had.
He was often, you know, never had any money.
There must have been $100 in there.
My cousin and I would leech money constantly from him,
going down to the dairy, spending it all on olliesies and then hearing him about how he didn't have enough money
to do certain things.
Oh my God.
You are pardoned.
I don't know if I can pardon that.
You're pardoned.
I'd do anything for lollies.
He's pardoned.
Pardoned.
While a car has been parked at Dunedin Airport for more than two years.
And the race is now on over who gets this car now.
But do they know who the owner is?
So they didn't.
I mean, there's a license plate on it, a personalized plate.
And I think when the street...
What is it?
Kiss XO. I got a car jam. And I think when the street... What is it? Kiss XO.
I got a car jam.
It's a BMW.
K-I-S-S.
Space XO.
So the guys come forward.
The news have managed to track him down.
He's in Auckland now, apparently.
But this car was parked, I think,
just before the pandemic at Dunedin Airport.
They reckon the cost of the parking is Airport. They reckon the cost of the
parking is up there now with the cost of the
car, which is a white
BMW
2010.
So they reckon a second-hand one of those
is about the same. Okay.
But low-case, because it hasn't driven anywhere for two years.
With the battery, it'll be flat.
Yeah, there's that too.
What was the story behind leaving it?
He came to Auckland, got stuck in lockdowns
and then went, ugh, I'll just leave her.
Doesn't say.
Is there a dead body in the booth?
He's recently arrived back in the country.
So apparently he plans to get the car this week.
Well, he's going to have to pay, as you say,
up the bloody wazoo.
Well, this happened with a Suzuki Swift
at New Plymouth Airport a few years ago.
And that was claimed by a finance company.
So I guess somebody just was leaving and they're like, yeah, we've got some debts to pay off.
Goodness.
But yeah, I don't know.
Like, what would you do?
You're going to have to pay $8,000.
Would you get another ticket and go in and then drive out with the new ticket and then say you lost your ticket?
That's what I'd do.
No, they'll be watching the car there.
Oh, I'd be surprised if they haven't clamped it.
I don't know why it's still there after two years.
You know what?
It looks remarkably clean for a car
that's been sat there for two years.
Well, it rains, I guess.
It rains.
Yeah, but the dust.
It'll smell like cow dung.
God, that airport, every time you walk out,
you're like, pfft.
Or silage.
It's not always dung. Sometimes, that airport, every time you walk out, you're like, Oswald. Silage. It's not always dung.
Sometimes it's silage.
Yeah, right.
Which smells, you know, to the untrained bloody town.
He knows it smells like cow dung.
It smells like poo to me, mate.
Yeah.
This person's wild.
So this white BMW's got a scorpion on the bonnet,
and it says scorpion on the windscreen,
and then their Snapchat is on their license plate.
What?
At the bottom of their...
Who want a kiss?
Who want a kiss?
Okay.
Not me.
And then it says it's got their Snapchat number.
Right.
Their name.
Looking for the honeys, maybe.
Maybe looking for the honeys.
What a wild ride.
You're a honey.
Would you text that if you...
Would you add them on Snap if you saw that driving past?
I'm going to hang up Snapchat and see if they're out.
I don't have Snapchat.
I've got an account, but I don't have the app.
Well, you're missing out on the honeys.
I know.
How many honeys am I missing out on?
Millions.
Well, I don't know.
Fletch, you're on Snapchat the most out of all of us.
How's your honey search going on Snapchat?
Well, I quite often see the cars go past and add them.
You get the honeys?
Well, most of them are for sale, but they're not.
Right.
Right.
For the right price, anything's for sale,
but it's more about getting you into that car, is it?
Yeah.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
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.
Have you got your Christmas tree up already?
I'm a no.
I'm a no.
Born of yore soon?
Soon, but not yet.
Because you always get a real one, don't you?
Correct.
I think we're going to go this weekend.
Deforestation, they call it in Brazil.
If you see one that's like that big, 50 to 60 centimetres.
What is that, the height from the desk or the height from the ground?
No, no, the height from the desk.
Okay.
Like mini.
Well, they're not going to grow than that small.
You want a mini one?
Yeah, I want a little mini one.
Because I don't have a lounge situation.
Yeah, I think you just need to wait until your reno's done or get a fake one.
Put some around the fiddle leaf fig.
Yeah, do that.
Well, a lot of people have their tree
up already. They do indeed.
36% of people have put their
tree up already. It's November!
Yeah, I was surprised by that.
64% said no, it's not
even December yet. Some
flee back. Gemma, as if Christmas
isn't stressful enough, why should I put my
tree up when it's not even December?
Also, you go too early with a real one
and it starts wilting,
doesn't it?
Hard to keep alive.
Yeah.
Hayley says,
I talked my daughter
into having a Christmas theme
for her birthday party
and managed to fully decorate
the house two weeks earlier
than I'm usually allowed to.
Hee hee.
I think Hayley loves Christmas.
She's found a good loophole there.
She is.
Yeah.
Nikora says,
my hubby bought a real tree for me yesterday,
so it would have been rude not to decorate it.
Is that going to last the month?
I don't know.
Some people just take great care of their trees.
Yeah, keep it watered.
Yeah, and she's thirsty for the first week.
Oh, really?
Thirsty for the first week.
Yeah.
Well, it's a tree.
Alana says,
It's up against my...
It's up against my...
Yeah, the Christmas tree's up against her will.
Up against my will.
What does that mean?
Like, it's been put up against her wishes.
Oh, it's up against my will.
The little sister did it yesterday.
She doesn't have her will out.
She doesn't have her last will and testament out against the wall.
Yeah, I was like, why are you doing that?
She's got it pushed up there.
Yeah.
Joel says, not yet, but my wife has already put on the Christmas pillow covers for the couch,
hung stockings, put up tinsel and started baking Christmas cookies.
Okay, tell me more about these Christmas cookies.
Yeah, what's in the Christmas cookies?
Yeah, yeah.
Christmas pillow covers.
Christmas cookie recipe, please.
That's a bit odd.
That's like a real Nana move to have Christmas pillow covers.
Eden says always the first week of December,
so that'll be any time from tomorrow.
Is it December tomorrow?
Correct.
And then Stephanie said, oh my gosh, went up mid
November the day after Friday Jams
hung over and I felt festive.
Yes. It was a good night.
Do what you do to go to get through.
Yeah.
There's a new
trend and it's very similar
to quiet quitting. Yes. That's been talked about a lot over the last few months. There's a new trend and it's very similar to quiet quitting.
Yes.
That's been talked about a lot over the last few months.
It's called work to your wage.
What's going on?
Work to your wage.
Who's got piano playing?
Somebody's phone was ding-a-ling-a-linging.
It's your laptop.
It's your laptop.
It's my laptop. I don your laptop. It's my laptop.
I don't know if you can hear me.
I don't know.
You're talking about.
Okay, Mum.
Where's that noise coming from?
Which one of you bloody kids has got your phone
under the dinner table?
Mum, that's your phone.
Well, these things happen.
Oh, God, that's embarrassing.
Act your wage.
Act your wage.
So it's very similar to quiet quitting.
It's that you do exactly what you think you should do for your wage.
So you go, I think I'm
getting paid this much and I'm not going to go above and beyond
it. I'm earning minimum wage
or very little. So I'm going to give minimum effort.
And the boss has asked me to work a little bit of
overtime or has asked me to do
a little bit above and beyond and you
say absolutely not. I'm going to act
my wage. Yeah. So it's a
you may have seen it a lot on TikTok lately.
It's very Gen Z.
And people are warning that it could backfire.
Bloody stroppy lot, aren't they?
Gen Z.
I mean, let's not start a whole culture war.
I don't want to.
Let's not start another boomer versus millennials.
I got a point.
I think everyone's just jealous of younger generations
for doing something they wish they'd done.
Well, yeah, it's about that work-life balance, isn't it?
Yeah, totally.
Totally.
But how do you figure it out?
Well, that's what people are saying,
and that's why people are saying it could backfire
because you've got to, I guess you've got to show you want,
you know, if you want to progress your job and move up the ladder,
then you've got to have some, you know. You've got to show you want, you know, if you want to progress your job and move up the ladder, then you've got to have some, you know.
You've got to have a little drive.
You've got to put in a bit of extra and a bit of drive, don't you?
But then, I mean, maybe it's different.
Maybe it's, you know, it depends on the job, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does.
If there's no room, if it's just a part-time job or whatever while you're at uni,
then you're not going to care about moving up the ladder.
He's a tosser.
Also, do you know what I read?
The UK, you know, they were trialling the four-day work week.
I believe it's pronounced the ook.
The ook.
Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed.
Yeah, you should be.
I thought it was ack.
Ack.
Ack.
In the UK, they've, sorry, the ook,
they were trialling the four-day work week.
So many companies have adopted it now.
Four-day work week. So many companies have adopted it now. Four-day work week.
So many people here are doing it.
Or working from home at least on like a Monday or a Friday.
You work from home.
It's not as good.
Not as fun.
No, I'm not working from home.
I'm not working.
A four-day work week is not working home, one of them.
I'm coming in for four days and for the other three, I'm living my life.
We've got a narc here.
But I want to be paid the same.
Watch this guy.
He's a narc.
I'm not a narc.
He'll go straight to management.
Don't say anything else.
Shanna wants to work four days a week.
Oh, my God.
I'm not saying anything else in front of you, you narc.
No.
Clay.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
We've got Deliveroo who deliver kind of like, I guess, Uber Eats,
deliver food.
We don't have that here, do we?
No.
We've got DeliverEasy.
No, we've got our, because isn't, Carwen will correct me if I'm wrong,
the Katy Perry menu log.
Is that Deliveroo?
Because remember, Katy, you know that annoying Katy Perry ad,
not the Lego one.
She's done a lot of ads.
Times are tough for Katy Perry.
American Idol's not paying that well.
I think the fireworks money's running out.
Didn't
she do Menu Log, Deliveroo?
They were all the same ad, but she just changed
what she said, eh? Well, yes, but
Deliveroo's not one of them.
Also, she's worth $330
million. I don't know if we'd say
times are tough. Yeah, her husband's also Orlando Bloom, who's done quite well.
He'd be expensive to keep.
He would be.
Had a lot of skin care.
Big grooming budget.
He'd groom a lot, wouldn't he?
He'd spend an hour moisturizing, I think, in the morning.
Well, Deliveroo, because they deliver all over the world,
the UK, Australia, the Middle East.
They have released their top 100 orders.
All right.
Buckle up.
We're going from 10.
Oh, okay.
We're going from 10.
We're going from 10.
We don't have all day.
But maybe this can provide some.
You're not man enough for the 100.
Maybe this could give you some lunch or dinner ideas.
Reading this,
this all sounds yum.
I'm just going to pop down the list and give you some highlights. I want to say, I would
like to be the brave radio show
that does 100.
Everybody does 10.
We should be brave.
Why don't we be brave in the
ever-changing face of the media
landscape? We need to make brave, and I think reading out all 100.
What's at 100?
Look at what we're missing out on.
At 22, les oeufs mayonnaise.
That's called mayonnaise eggs in French.
Oh, my God, yum.
That's at 22.
What have we got sitting here at 61?
Double mushroom Swiss meal.
What's a double mushroom Swiss meal?
Wouldn't you like to know if we did the whole 100?
Exactly. And I would like to stop down
on each one and have it explained to me.
Number 100 is a
Shaq burger from Shake Shaq.
Oh my gosh.
You were going to
go 100 in the bin.
Are we going to get a Shake Shaq?
I don't know if the show sponsor would like that.
Oh, my God.
It's so good.
I'm only saying that because you don't need an international.
The original.
Well, yeah, I think there's a Big Mac on the list.
Dude, there's so much McDonald's on this list.
Yeah.
However.
The top 10.
The top 10.
The most deliver-roozy foods.
You've got it.
Yeah.
Number 10 is a burrito bowl.
So it's everything.
Oh, no.
Is it one of those deep fried?
Taco bowls.
Yum.
Where the bowl is made out of a deep fried taco.
How good are those?
And then you eat the bowl.
You eat the bowl.
And it's so good.
And no dishes.
Yeah, no dishes.
Oh, apart from the fork.
But you can grind that down.
I ate the fork too.
I ate the fork as well.
And also the taco itself usually comes in a plastic bowl.
But I'll eat that.
I'll eat that.
Because it's also tasty.
A burrito bowl.
Number nine is an iced.
I don't think the fish in the ocean should be the only people eating plastic.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, it's biodegradable.
Those guys look so happy.
They can biodegrade inside of me.
Number nine is an iced cafe americano.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's like the number nine in the whole world.
In the whole world we're ordering iced.
Getting it delivered, wouldn't it?
People are so lazy.
The ice would be melted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The iced americano must be sucked down as quick as it can.
I will say you can get to McCafe for great barista-made coffee on the go.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
Because they also do iced.
Yes.
Take that off.
Oh, I could do with one of those, actually.
Show response.
McCafe does a range of iced coffee and espresso drinks.
Cool off with our tasty McCafe iced coffee
and espresso drink range,
available in a variety of delicious flavours.
You need to loosen up that.
Make it your own.
That didn't sound natural.
That didn't sound natural.
Oh, McCafe iced coffee.
No, that's not your own either.
Just however you would do it.
100% Arabica beans.
Number eight is a fish burger.
Yum.
We had fish burgers the other night.
You're telling me one of the most ordered dishes in the entire world on a delivery service is a fish burger?
Fish burgers rule.
I didn't have a fish burger the other night.
I had a jalapeno burger, but I love fish burgers.
Me and Ursula had fish burgers.
Fish tacos.
Fish burgers.
There's something about fish inside a carbohydrate.
I'm sorry.
Did you just drop Ursula Carlson's name into it?
Me and Vaughn had dinner with Ursula Carlson the other night.
Wow.
Oh, she's our mate.
She was influenced by Hayley who said,
you simply must get the fish burger.
And she said, don't stereotype me.
Don't you dare stereotype me.
To which we laugh.
Yeah.
Okay, fish burger.
And then number seven is called Tamzai Mikshan,
which I've looked up and it's like a Chinese,
it's from Hong Kong and it's like a Chinese brothy soup with meat.
Oh, like a pho soup?
Yeah, pho-ish.
Pho-ish?
Pho.
Pho.
Pho.
I mean, Southeast Asia does the best soups
and I don't even want to talk about it.
Lum, lum, lum, lum, lum.
Number six is from around the world, Pad Thai. Yeah, classic. Oh, and I don't even want to talk about it. Lum, lum, lum, lum. Number six is from
around the world, Pad Thai.
Yeah, classic.
Oh, and I've eaten the one
that they are referencing,
Ting Thai Caravan
in Edinburgh.
Yum.
Number five is a poke bowl.
Ting Thai.
You wouldn't get away
with calling a Thai restaurant
on that now, would you?
Unless their last name
was Ting and then of course
have at it.
But I tell you what,
the Thai food makes up for it.
But if you're rocked in
and it's just some
white Scottish dude,
you'd be like,
I think we need a rename.
We need to talk here.
There's certainly a few restaurants in New Zealand
that could have that chat too.
Oh, yes.
You're going to love this.
A chicken sando is just a chicken sandwich.
Oh, okay.
Right.
Yum.
Now, the next dish, I'm going to have to Google again,
is called the shiachia favolosa, which is, oh my God.
It's like a Reuben.
It's like a pastrami sandwich.
Where from?
Italy.
Italy.
Yeah, like a big salami pastrami.
Hummed and yumptious.
These are the most delivered foods around the world.
Why are we doing this to ourselves at this time of the month?
I don't know.
We've got the top two from around the world.
Number two is a classic burrito.
Yum. Classic burrito. And I will say
pizza doesn't even make the
list because
a pita shawarma, particularly
chicken. Chicken shawarma.
How could I say shawarma?
Oh, now I'm hungry.
I'll order just one of everything.
What's the difference? What is
a shawarma comparable to? Well, it's like we get a? What is a shawarma comparable to?
Well, it's like we get a kebab,
but a shawarma's like a thicker pita.
Oh, no.
And sometimes it's got chips in it.
Oh, yeah.
And now I'm back on board.
I'm back on board now that there are chips inside.
What's he doing in there?
What are they doing?
Because they're yum.
Making it bitter.
Yeah, I know.
Oh.
What's your tummy? Yeah, that was my tum-tums. That was my tum-tum-tums. Hey, guys, I reckon heard your tummy hurt.
Yeah, that was my tum-tums.
That was my tum-tum-tums.
Hey guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show.
Ah, not for me.
Vaughan?
Nowhere even close.
Nowhere even close.
Nowhere even close.
You haven't been here long, have you?
No, I haven't.
No.
Well, if you were listening and you had fun,
why don't you give us a little review and a rating?
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
