Starting point is 00:02:21 money out it's like money is what he does. So he'd do that all the time. So that when it came to the actual end of the tax year, he was like, it's done basically and I'm good. So you couldn't come in after school and just take a 20? No, I could take a 20, but it was always from petty cash and my dad had to like at the end of the month be like, oh God, I owe you, Hayley, fine. So you did?
Starting point is 00:02:40 All the time. Amazing. I even knew where the key to the petty cash was. I never asked. Wow. Hey, Dad. Oh, no. Chinga, chinga, chinga, chinga. Open the tin. That's fraud. Amazing. I even knew where the key to the petty cash was. I never asked. Hey, Dad. Oh, no. Chinga, chinga, chinga, chinga.

Starting point is 00:02:55 Do whatever I wanted as a teenager. Eat food. How much is a company allowed to write off its petty cash? Well, no. I'm assuming he'd just replace it. Yeah, he'd replace it sometimes. Yeah, with his own money. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. The reception right, yeah, yeah. The receptionist would always be like, it's the end of the year, Craig. Do you want the IOUs out of the petty cash? He'd be like, oh, yeah, give them to me. And then he'd have to go out on his poor lunch break and get out some money from the ATM. God, kids, who'd have them? Me too.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Play Zedian's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It's two minutes past six. How was it Thursday? I feel like this week... It's gone so fast. ...has flown. It's utterly flown by.
Starting point is 00:03:39 I've had a lot of fun, guys. Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with a... Yeah, he's got a... Aphasia. A what? Like a memory thing, like a brain thing. How did you know this? This is breaking news three minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:03:53 No, no, it was a few... Oh, maybe it was speculation. He talked somewhere and was a bit vacant and people were like, oh, maybe he's got early onset Alzheimer's or something like that. And now they're saying that it's, yeah, there's something going on. Yeah, he's officially announced his retirement from all forms of acting.
Starting point is 00:04:10 This was because this was on the back of people saying he'd enlisted to do like a long line of terrible films that you would never think that he would do. And apparently he was trying to make as much money and get through as much because he knew that his brain health was declining. Aphasia is a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write, understand language both verbal and written.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And it typically occurs after a stroke or a head injury. Oh, God. Oh, man. John McClane. That's sad, sad news. We love bros. Yeah. What a legend. Good news.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Has he ever had like... He's not dead. No, he's not dead. That's a bad start to the day, isn't it? Has he ever had a real, like, controversy? Has he ever had a... I don't think so. Not really.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I don't think so. He was even like cool guy when Demi Moore was dating Ashton Kutcher. They would hang out. Oh, my God. No, they love each other. They're like a big modern family. Oh, that's so sad. Coming up on the show, Secret Sound returns.
Starting point is 00:05:16 We'll do that at 7 o'clock and 8 this morning. Before 7, we'll give you the chance to win a $500 Resene voucher. But next on the show, you're still doing Wordle. Vaughn, you had a bad day Did you get yesterday's? Because a lot of people didn't Yes, I'm number six Yeah, a lot of people had their first or second loss What was it in the end?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Oh, I can't remember It was one of those words where You could get four of the five letters But the one missing had every option remaining on the board Right, okay Well, we've talked about the music version of Wordle, Hurdle. Yes. Well, there's a new one because we're all in this craze at the moment.
Starting point is 00:05:51 We've tapped out, haven't we? We've given up. We're taking a break. We're on to the next. I guess we're just, yeah, like moving on. You know what I mean? It's in the past. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Also, it just got too hard and I got too frustrated. We'll talk about the new craze next. We've all been playing Wordle. We've taken a little break, Fletch and I. Vaughan, you're still going, you're daily Wordling? Yeah, I'll do a daily Wordle if I remember. My daughters are into it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I think all of us just wait until Indy's finished it and then gets the answer off Indy and be like, got it in two. If you're cheating, how did you not get it in one? Well, you can't obviously, you know. Get it in one, it's obviously you're cheating. Yeah, it's hard. Well, there were lots of versions, wasn't there?
Starting point is 00:06:38 There was Hurdle with a song. There was Worldle. Quartle, which was four wordles at once. Four on the go. Well, now there's a new one. They haven't come up with a... Come up? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day.

Starting point is 00:06:57 Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day.

Starting point is 00:07:01 Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. Day. They haven't come up with a clever title for this new one. Not a hurtle, hurtle, fertile, myrtle title. It's called Framed. Watched it. Watched it. Watched it. Sawed it. Sawed it.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Filmed it. Filmed it. It could be. Seen it. Because what they do is they show you a frame from a film and you have the guesses to guess what it is, but only on a single frame. Oh, so there's no clue as to what the movie is?
Starting point is 00:07:29 No clue whatsoever. Oh, wow. It's just like a little like, ah. And you get a better one each, you get a more obvious one each time you advance, right? Like you start seeing characters and stuff. Oh, it advances, does it? Yeah. Because Colin said she did it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:07:42 What was it, Shaun of the Dead yesterday? Or Hot Fuzz. And you didn't see any of the actual characters until you were four. Oh yes. So we just did today's and they won't ruin it so people can go and enjoy themselves. We got it in one though. We did get it in one. It's obvious. But I've just gone obvious,
Starting point is 00:07:56 obviously wrong on this one. So I put Die Hard. It's not Die Hard. So spoiler alert, it's not Die Hard. We're talking about Bruce Willis today. And then it does, it gives you another scene and then I might go Love Actually, which spoiler alert, it's definitely not. It's not an animated film, so it's definitely not.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And then it starts to get really obvious. I'll show you the pitch, you know what I mean? So it does get easier and easier as you go along. I still wouldn't know what that is. That movie was on when I took the girls to get vaccinated on Saturday. Right. Which is, the place I took the girls to get vaccinated on Saturday. Right. Which is the place I took them is like a specialist part of,
Starting point is 00:08:29 like a vaccination center where they look after kids. I mean, anybody can get vaccinated there, but it is one of the places where they've got the kids' doses. Yeah. And that was on. And I hadn't seen it for years, that movie. And it's freaky. Like, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:08:44 It's a real sort of labyrinth-y dark crystal. You know when you're a kid and you watch it and it freaks you out and you're as an adult, you're like, I love that movie. And then you watch it and you're like, this is weird. Like, kids. It's a great movie. I love all his movies. Well, I think you've got to say the movie now
Starting point is 00:09:00 because you can't talk so much about it. I'm going to publicly ruin. No, that's what. Just air muffs if you don't want so much about it. I'm going to publicly ruin. No, well, that's what, just earmuffs if you don't want to know. Okay, ready? Three, two, one. Spirited Away
Starting point is 00:09:12 from Studio Ghibli. Which came out in 2001, by the way. Like, it's a 21-year-old movie. I remember watching it as a teenager and just, yeah, my mind was blown.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Do you think there should have been something more mainstream for the kids? Well, I've got no problem with children exploring these sorts of things, but mind was closed. It's beautiful. Do you think there should have been something more mainstream for the kids? Well, I've got no problem with children exploring these sorts of things, but there was a part where heads bounce around on the ground around a cauldron. Oh, it's wild. It's wild and weird and ghostly and just before you're about to be injected. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 So anyway, if you've done your wordle and your hurdle and your worldle and your quardle today, you can now go to framed. Well, a lot of us craving that overseas holiday. Oh, I just want, I want to be somewhere that smells different, feels different and tastes different. Like even a big, dirty old city. Yeah, absolutely. You're more of an island
Starting point is 00:10:05 I want to smell like some coconut something coconut some sandalwood some sandalwood some free body lotion you want a
Starting point is 00:10:16 five dollar massage yeah you don't have body lotion that's always in tropical island hotels because you might get a little bit
Starting point is 00:10:21 a little bit sun kissed and you've got a lotion up at the end of the day and you lotion yourself up and you're skidding around in your undies. You've dried up like a sultana under the sun. It's good stuff. Now you managed to escape
Starting point is 00:10:31 to Australia when that little window opened, didn't you? Very briefly. That was the last time I went overseas. Before that, like 2018 or 2019 maybe? That's the thing. A lot of people haven't been overseas for at least like two, two and a half, three years. Well, yesterday, and there's good news, airlines are starting to announce flights back to New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:10:59 So yesterday, Hawaiian Airlines are confirming that it's returning to New Zealand with flights. It's going to start flying here from July 4 and they'll go three times a week. Wow. And do you remember like pre the pandemic, like there was a bit of a Air New Zealand, Hawaiian Air flights kind of fight, a fear kind of war. I thought you meant in a fear. I was like, what happened?
Starting point is 00:11:22 And you could get flights for like 600, 500, 600 bucks return. How far is it to Hawaii? Eight hours. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. I've never been. Oh, it's, like, I was not reluctant, but I was like, is this just going to be a big city by the beach? And it was
Starting point is 00:11:38 exactly that when you're in Honolulu, but it's insane. You literally walk off a busy street through a hotel onto one of the most picturesque beaches around. Yeah. And then the places out a little bit are just phenomenal. That's the thing. You can get in a car and drive an hour north
Starting point is 00:11:51 and be on a beach that no one's on. Oh, my God. I want it. I want it. Also, Air New Zealand have said 40% of their international destinations are back up and running. And throughout the year, they're going to start flights to New York. 40%?
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yep. So it's still a lot not happening. Oh, yeah, absolutely. So later in the year, they're going to start flying to Singapore, Vancouver, San Fran. There'll be Chicago flights resuming, Houston, New York.
Starting point is 00:12:19 They're going to start those in September. Yeah, and other airlines, Air Canada coming back from November the 12th. Where were we at with Bangkok? My favourite place in the world. Okay, so there's no Bangkok on the list. But did Air New Zealand ever fly directly to Bangkok? Maybe ages ago, but Thai was going every day.
Starting point is 00:12:39 You go through Singapore. Yeah, yeah. American Airlines, they're going to start coming back in November. Emirates are coming at the moment, but I think through, you have to go through Kuala Lumpur. So no direct flights from Emirates or Qatar. But, yeah, it's kind of opening up. I'd truly go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I'd just, I'd spin a thing. I'm still like, not really. I'm still like, not really. Because did you see that article? I think it was at the weekend Or last week It was from like What is it MFAT
Starting point is 00:13:09 The travel The Ministry of Foreign Affairs A lot of places like Are still so bad That your travel insurance Wouldn't cover you Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:17 Oh Okay So there's that I'm just I'm literally on Google Maps Plus you're not vaccinated Remember Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:24 Shh What What What I bought that vaccine pass So there's that. I'm literally on Google Maps. Plus you're not vaccinated, remember? Yeah. What? What? I bought that vaccine pass on Facebook Marketplace. You got it down at the protest, didn't you? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:37 So there was like a little stall. Also, why are people still protesting? I don't understand the second protest that's been planned. What are they protesting now? And there are still people protesting. You've literally got what you wanted. The mandates are being dropped. What do they want now? I don't know. Kiss on the cheek and
Starting point is 00:13:53 five bucks or something. Don't know. Well, good luck. Well, I want to pull someone in our team down. But in doing so, I want to pull someone in our team down. Okay. But in doing so, I am going to raise one member of our team up, Vaughn Smith. Executive intern Anna mentioned the other day, she said, guys, because we always pace around the room, don't we,
Starting point is 00:14:18 trying to get our Apple Watch stand down. Oh, we're closing the rings. We're closing the rings. And then, Anna, you said, oh, is it worth it getting an Apple Watch? You were fishing around thinking, I might get one of these things. You could come in for our daily walks. And then the generous, charitable Vaughan Smith just said, you can have my old one.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Now, is this the one that fell to the bottom of the poo falls? Well, the poo falls? It wasn't the poo falls. There's poo in the falls. There's poo in all the water around. There was a sign saying fecal spores or whatever. Because you dived into the waterfall, you lost your, it fell off, your watch fell off.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And you thought, this is it, I've lost my watch forever. You bought a new one. And then this young man, Ishmael, dived down and found it. Yeah. Like some sort of modern day bloody Aquaman. What did you do? You put it in a bag of rice?
Starting point is 00:15:12 Didn't even need to do that. It was still working. It was working perfectly. Well, they're waterproof to like 50 feet. Fantastic products. So then I said, but then once I'd lost it overnight that night, I had a few drinks to console myself and ended up just ticking one up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:24 So that arrived. And then I said to my wife, and ended up just ticking one up. Yep. So that arrived. And then I said to my wife, you can have my old Apple Watch. The poo watch. The one that's been in the water. The poo pongs. And she was like, okay. But she never really felt that attached to it.
Starting point is 00:15:35 She's got like a Fitbit thing. She wanted to remain a second rate citizen. Yeah. Embarrassing for you and her. And the Apple Watch was just sitting there. And I said, well, I'd rather see it used. And then when Anna said she was thinking of getting one, I was like, well, I've got one you can have.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Right. She was like, bloody Oliver Twist, you know, standing in front of you, hands out. Who's the person in Oliver Twist? The good person. He says, he wants some soup, please, sir. Yeah, yeah, but who gave him, like, who's the good guy? Is there a good guy in Oliver Twist?
Starting point is 00:16:01 I've never seen her. I can't remember. I'm only familiar with the person. The guy giving her some soup. Anna, you were absolutely stoked, weren't you? Yeah, it was so generous, Vaughan. Thank you. Really generous.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Oh, money bags over here. You don't need a thank you. Anyway, so, and then you turned up the next day, in fact, wearing it. You did join us on one of our morning walks. Honestly, guys, I felt like a million bucks. I felt like it made us. That's what they're there for, you know? And then you were like, you looked at mine,
Starting point is 00:16:27 and I've got like a silver strap. I haven't gone for like a sportswear one like you guys. I've gone for like a fashion kind of elegant one because I like the silvers. And you said, like, that's a fancy strap. Where'd you get that? And I said, I got it on Trade Me. Just a cheapie.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah. And then I turned up today and while we're having our pre-production meeting, what's on your little wrist? It's a fashion strap from Trade Me. It's the same
Starting point is 00:16:59 fashion strap. Your Honour, it's a slightly different gradient. You've absolutely ripped off my look. This is my aesthetic. I'm famous for my stainless steel mesh magnetic strap.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah, you're an influencer. Take that as a compliment. That's what it is. That's people I'm interviewing. But I'm not getting a commission from this brand of cheap trade me $4 straps. I think $4. It's just $4. How much was yours?. Oh, man. It's just $4. You know, you're going to have...
Starting point is 00:17:26 How much was yours? I've overpaid. I paid like $23. I feel validated now. You're going to have one of those allergic reactions you get. I was very worried about that, actually, yes. Yeah. Where do I draw the line?
Starting point is 00:17:37 What's next? Then you said this morning, I like your earrings. Get back off. I just want to be you so bad. I mean, that's understandable. It's understandable. It's full on, though. I guess I got a little fan.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I got a little fan. She wants to date. Don't call me a little fan. I don't know. I mean. Little buddy. I got my little shadow, you know, following me around. She's already made inquiries as to that other guy that goes around with Greg Grover from Nova.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Oh, yeah, yeah. the other guy in the ads. Are we going to try to hook into him? Yes, please. Keep your own Mr Nova. No, don't. He's mine. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, I don't know if you've heard about this,
Starting point is 00:18:20 but the Oscars were on Monday. Go on. And during the Oscars, let's just Go on. And during the Oscars, let's just say it didn't run smoothly. Oh, no. What happened? Oh, well, let me tell you, and this may be news to everyone listening,
Starting point is 00:18:33 and I don't want to shock you, so if you're driving, you might want to pull over. You'd have to be under a rock to have not... Eric didn't know. But this doesn't surprise me. No, it doesn't surprise me. He's not. Wait, when did he find out about this your fiance?
Starting point is 00:18:46 I had to tell him yesterday Wednesday Yeah But to be fair One pop culture He couldn't give two S's about it Yeah And two he's been a very busy boy
Starting point is 00:18:58 And just hasn't been reading the news And then I showed him he was like what? Anyway bless him That is wild I know I like it about him. I like it about him. Sometimes I get to update on him. I'm like a newsbreaker all the time in our relationship. Anyway, so of course, of course we all know
Starting point is 00:19:12 that Will Smith, Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith being bald, a G.A. Jane joke, and of course she has alopecia. He took umbrage to it. Will Smith took to the stage and slapped him hard on the face. Even that's been debated. If she even has alopecia. Really?
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah. I read this article and this alopecia expert was like, if you look at all these other things she said about her hair. Yeah. I thought she was diagnosed with it in 2018 and then shared that, that she'd got an actual diagnosis. But then this alopecia expert, who I'm not saying is correct, but I read an article saying these are the reasons I don't know
Starting point is 00:19:51 if this is even true. Right. Also a clip yesterday of Will Smith hassing a bald man in a crowd on a talk show in the early 2000s. It was on Arsenio Hall. It was on Arsenio Hall. He was mocking the band leader or the stage manager for having a bald head.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Jeepers creepers. I mean, that's the thing. That's what somebody said. That's the thing about the internet. It doesn't forget. No, it doesn't forget. You might have forgotten. Different times, I guess,
Starting point is 00:20:13 and people are more educated about what we should make jokes about. Well, a study found as well, just while we're talking about this, 66% say Will Smith should have been arrested. Wow. I don't know about arrested, but time will tell. Some celebrities would have said, I would have pressed charges. I would have sued.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I don't think Chris Rock would. I mean, anyway, time will tell the impact it's going to have on his career. Anyway, so that night he posted a photo of him and Jada and some kind of funny comment like, you can't invite people from Philly anywhere. Yeah. And then people were like, not good enough.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah. Not good enough. And then, you know, his speech was about, ah, I'm King Richard and it's brought out the crazy in me, protect my family.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And people were like, not good enough. Then finally the day after, Will Smith took to Instagram, made a massive apology about, you know, doesn't condone violence. He apologizes to Chris Rock. Very well scripted. It was massive apology about, you know, doesn't condone violence. He apologises to Chris
Starting point is 00:21:06 Rock. Very well scripted. It was, it's like they have a template for celebrity Instagram apologies and this was to the T. And then Chris Rock made a good couple of tweets about it. His first tweet was, don't worry my gums took the majority of the
Starting point is 00:21:21 blow or something like that and then he's kind of been quite quiet around it because I don't think Chris Rock wants this to follow his career. You know what I mean? Like he didn't ask for this. Anyway, so everyone was like, well, what's Jada's stance? Because a few people were saying, he's just protecting his woman. And they were like, what does the woman think about this whole thing?
Starting point is 00:21:40 Finally now. Because we've all been out with a couple Where the guy is aggressive And the woman is nothing but horrendously embarrassed about it Oh my god If Aaron jumped out of a seat If someone said something about me I would be grabbing him Like I would stop him
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, yeah Don't you dare Don't you embarrass me Anyway, she's finally posted something on Instagram It's sort of not what people wanted It's a little like pink background And it says This is a season for healing And I'm here for it It's sort of not what people wanted. It's a little like pink background and it says this is a season
Starting point is 00:22:06 for healing and I'm here for it. It's an auntie quote. Something aunties post on Instagram. Yeah, it's something you'd see like sort of screen printed
Starting point is 00:22:14 on a wooden slab in a kitchen. Yes. You know what I mean? The season of healing. That's all she's said so far. It's quite, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Oh wow. It's a bit of a But I think I'm not a huge Jada Pinkett Smith fan and I think she's going to's said so far. It's quite, you know. Oh, wow. It's a bit of a. But I think. Bit of a nothing. I'm not a huge Shader Pinkett Smith fan, and I think she's got to be loving the attention. Like, have you ever watched any of those episodes of Red Table? Nah, yeah, but you and her are absolute polar opposite ends of a scale.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Have you ever watched one of those Red Table tours? I have. It's so horrible. Everything's out there. Yeah. Not your cup of tea. Not my cup of tea at all. Well, I mean, it's still unravelling.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And, of course, we're going to dive into this a little bit later. We've got a Hayley's version today. Yes. Now, you're going to do a version of Will Smith's song. It just felt appropriate. And now I don't know if it is. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:23:07 This is the top six. It's getting hot in the city. Hot in the city tonight. Tonight. Tonight. That's right. It's getting hot in cities. Cities are getting hotter.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Slightly hotter than other places. Who says? NIWA, Science, Thermometers. Did you guys see Byron Bay? Have you guys been to Byron Bay? Yeah. Like it's underwater. Why? The town.
Starting point is 00:23:42 All the shops. It's nuts. More flooding. More flooding. Flooding. More flooding. Just on the global warming thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's Mars at? Where we at with that? Being able to go to Mars and stuff that up for a while. Still a while. We still haven't sent people, have we? But I believe in us.
Starting point is 00:23:58 We can stuff that up. I believe. Also, I love that people think, oh, it'll obviously be me that goes to Mars out of the bajillion people on the planet. And it would be you. I think, in all oh, it'll obviously be me that goes to Mars out of the bajillion people on the planet. And it would be you. I think, in all honesty, it would be easier to address the issues and start fixing the planet we've got rather than just running away from it. Yeah. NIWA, commissioned by the Auckland Council, showed the number of days exceeding 25 degrees Celsius in Auckland City could jump from an average 20 days a year to 100 days a year by 2090.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Now, 2090 is a long way away. I'm going to be 108 years old. You'll be dead by then. You're not going to be 108 years old, Vaughan. You're going to be a distant memory. You're going to be pickled by 80. Yeah. I'll be a distant memory. But it could be be pickled by 80. Yeah. I'll be a distant memory.
Starting point is 00:24:45 But it could be getting really hot. So how do we combat this? Cities hotter than their rural counterparts. Is this your top six? Your environmental ideas? I'm working on how to cool the cities. They talked to Hal Davis, Auckland Council's principal urban forestry advisor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:02 And he said more trees in public spaces. Oh, yeah. Because recently it was 34 degrees, and then he stepped under a tree, and it immediately dropped to 30 degrees. So that's like five degrees less. Has this guy just learned about shade? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It seems super obvious, but he's like, if we plant more trees, it's more cooler air spaces. Yeah, right. Because we're all tarmacs and rooftops. Get some solar panels on the rooftops. Get some trees on the ground. We're all on the way. Get some beehives up there too.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah, get some urban beehives. Then the trees, they'll flower. They'll look lovely. We'll have some honey. Delightful. That's just absolutely solving it. So there's a whole research into heat vulnerability of cities and how they're going to handle it.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And I've got the top six that I'd like to chuck on the pile of top six ways to cool a hot city. Eco warrior. Number six on the list. Everybody turn on their air conditioning and then just leave the doors open. Great idea. Because it doesn't work if only one person's doing it,
Starting point is 00:26:04 but if everybody's doing it, that's just power of numbers. Open the doors and windows. Yeah. Yeah, but it really makes the machine work, doesn't it, when you've got the doors open. But we've got all the solar panels on the roof, powering the machines. Have you ever stayed in a hotel where if you open the ranch loader
Starting point is 00:26:19 onto the balcony, it turns off the air con? Oh, yes, you're like, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, you're like, what are you doing? I want both. Yeah. I want a breeze and that cool, cool air. Number five on the list, I've turned to
Starting point is 00:26:29 nature for this one. How does nature cool a hot body? It sweats, so the city needs to start sweating. That's number five on the list of the top six ways to cool a hot city. Ew. I mean, it would be hard for a city to start sweating, so I was thinking, you know, for a city to start sweating.
Starting point is 00:26:46 So I was thinking, you know, the fire hydrants? Yeah. They turn into like sprinklers on a golf course. They just pop up randomly. So what you're saying, sprinklers. Yeah. Yeah, nice. Sprinklers all around the city.
Starting point is 00:26:58 That'll cool it down. Dogs will love that too. Oh, yeah. They love a sprinkler. I mean, everyone would love a sprinkler. I'd run and jump over it. I'd probably sit on it too. Oh, yes. You know when you're a kid and you sit on a sprinkler? I'd run and jump over it. I'd probably sit on it too. Oh yes.
Starting point is 00:27:05 You know when you're a kid and you sit on a sprinkler? Sit on the sprinkler and you're like hee hee hee hee and it tickles my bum hole. You can't do that as an adult.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Well you can. You can. In private. Yeah. Private. Number four on the list of the top six ways to cool a hot city.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Wind turbines generate power by wind turning the blades. So vis-a-vis we turn them so they start going the other way, so they blow air, and then they blow air onto the city like an oscillating fan of city shots. Seems counterproductive.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Like a Dyson fan. Yeah. See, they want to put a big wind farm off the coast of Taranaki. Wind and solar farm, right? Yeah, in the ocean. I've seen an ocean. In the ocean? Yeah, by Denmark.
Starting point is 00:27:53 How did they? Yeah, flying into Copenhagen. There was like 50 of them in the sea. And look how hot they are. They're hot people. There's no arguing with that. Yeah. So you're saying it could turn Taranaki people into tents?
Starting point is 00:28:03 No. God, no. What is it, magic? It's not wizardry. No, have you been there? Yeah. It's not going to magically make them regrow teeth. I'm from there.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Right. Yeah, exactly. Very rude. Mike Payson Point, Your Honour. I'm going this weekend. I don't want to be apologising for you. I beg your pardon. My family only got good looking when they left.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Number three on the list of the top six ways to cool a hot city. Give everybody a pool. Yeah, great idea. Everybody gets a pool. Great idea. Everybody gets a pool. Number two on the list of the top six ways to cool a hot city. Hot breath has got to be contributing to it.
Starting point is 00:28:45 So make everybody breathe out of a small mouth, not a big mouth. You know when you breathe out of your mouth and it's small? Cold. Hot. So when you breathe in. Through the nose. Out through purse. That makes so much sense.
Starting point is 00:29:02 And then it's going to definitely drop the temperature a bit. It'll bring it down. And number one on the list of the top six ways to cool a hot city. I mean, it was the most obvious one from the start. Make a city in Antarctica. It's real cold there. That city's not going to get hot. That'll only cool one city, a new city.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah. And I reckon building a city in Antarctica is going to bring more problems than just making it hot. If you ask me, it's too cold down there. No, it's 40 degrees hotter than usual at the moment in Antarctica. But still negative 130 or whatever it is. Right. Okay, bananas. That's an idea.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Absolutely bananas. That is today's... Tap Sex. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Yummy, yummy. Well, yummy, yummy. A segment of the show where we take a look at new food items or food products.
Starting point is 00:29:49 This is always so cruel. It gets me, it gets me blooming hungry. But here's why. And when we looked at this this morning, you guys were like, ooh, you're a bit ooh. Yeah, I was ooh. I'm still ooh. You're still ooh? I'm ooh.
Starting point is 00:30:01 So this is, I think it's in Australia. And it's in America. Okay. I'm not sure if it's in New Zealand yet. You'd say it would. If it's in Aussie, it normally comes here. They think we're the same place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:19 We're just a suburb. They do. Of Melbourne. It's Chupa Chups ice cream. Like it looks like a... Trumpet? Trumpet. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Chupa Chups strawberry and cream flavour. This is a good Chupa Chup. But the thing about a Chupa Chup is it's hard. Is it like little chunks of Chupa Chup? Like hokey pokey? Ew, no. So it looks like there's a waffle cone that's choc-dipped on the inside, as it should be.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yum. And then there's strawberry and vanilla flavoured ice cream like whirled. That I'm okay with. They say swirled. I believe it's whirled.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Whirled? No, it's swirled. Like whirly whirled. Okay. And then on top it looks like a crispy crunchy chubba chub crumble.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Oh no, yuck. No. What is that yuck? No, like a smashed up lollipop. Yeah, that would... No. But I love candy. I love candy.
Starting point is 00:31:10 I'll go candy over chocolate any day. Really? Really. Every day. Okay. You know, these are like the fizzy Coke bottles, any kind of candy, lollies. Is the strawberry like...
Starting point is 00:31:19 Is it like how you'd get on a McDonald's Sunday? Like, is it that kind of gooey, kind of swirly? No, it's like proper sort of thick ice cream. But if you can see in the middle as well, there's some kind of oozing. So it's got an ooze. What is the ooze? Strawberry ooze?
Starting point is 00:31:36 It's strawberry ooze. Oh, here we go. A truly spectacular strawberry and vanilla ice cream sensation featuring crushed candy and a delectable strawberry sauce drizzle. Oh, they've gone for a drizzle. It's a strawberry sauce drizzle. Who's making these? Does it say who's making these? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Does it on the box? Does it have a logo? It does. Who owns Chupa Chups? Is it street? Oh, Bulla. It's Bullubba Chubs. Is it Street? Oh, Bulla. It's Bulla. Who?
Starting point is 00:32:07 You know Bulla that do the like delicious tropical flavoured? Oh, they're good. Bulla. Bulla Dairy Foods. Fiji and Hello. Yeah. Oh. It's about the same.
Starting point is 00:32:15 B-U-L-A. B-U-L-L-A. Sorry. I've never heard of them either. Maybe it's Beulah. Like Ferris. Ferris. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Yeah. Bula do the most yummy, like, creamy, sorbet-y kind of yoghurt-y ice blocks you can get in the middle of the supermarket. Oh, I've got no idea. No, they're so good. Well, that's who they're teaming up with. Chupa Chups and Bula Dairy Foods. Right. So keep an eye out for those. Keep an eye out.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I'm going to absolutely home one of these for sure. Don't screw your nose up at me, you pretentious... I think the last time I had a Chupa Chup, they were 20 cents. How much are they now? They've got to be more than that. Aren't they a dollar or 80 cents? Oh, outrageous!
Starting point is 00:32:59 No, they can't be a dollar. A dollar's too much. Every now and then when I have to pay inside at a petrol place, I grab myself a chub chop. I always go for Coke. Coca-Cola flavour. Yeah, Coca-Cola's the best chub chop. Yeah, that if I had to.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, creamy chub chop. No, no, no, no, no. Especially if you're a bit hungover, they're really nice. You can get a 25 pack, share pack for $5.50 or $5.90. Still, I'm talking individual. But individual. Individual.
Starting point is 00:33:28 That's not going to be that price. Nah, they're way more. That's a bulk order. Probably about 60 cents, you'd say. Yeah, I reckon at least. Outragus. Well, keep an eye out there. Well.
Starting point is 00:33:44 West Auckland, hell of a place. Oh. West Auckland. Hell of a place. Oh, love it. Up and coming. Yeah, for those that don't live in Auckland, how would you describe it? It's everywhere's west. Everywhere's west.
Starting point is 00:33:54 It's everywhere's west. West Hamilton's the same thing. Like Dinsdale and that's like the Bougainy area. Right. West cities are always bogan-y. Are always a bit bogan-y. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:09 I didn't know. I didn't even know. It's an odd place, West Auckland, for those out of Auckland. Like you yesterday, you had a compulsory breast test at 11am. Yeah. On a Wednesday. Yeah, on a rural road. Gosh.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Bizarre. Yeah, it passed, by the way. I thought you'd been pulled over again for speeding. No, no, no. Not in the chimney. I don't speed in the chimney. Because you can't. Because you can't.
Starting point is 00:34:31 It doesn't go fast enough. The best part about it, to be totally honest, it sits at a reasonable 95 kilometres an hour, and I'm happy with that. Right. And I'll sit in the fast lane too. Yes, you will. He does.
Starting point is 00:34:41 He stays in the right lane. I hate, I'm such a pet peeve about having to overtake people in a left lane. Hayley pulls the fingers at me every time she overtakes me on the doorstep. He's so slow. So, yeah, West Auckland's, I mean, it's outrageous fortune. We love it. Basically. It's great.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I couldn't see myself living in any other compass direction of Auckland. East Auckland sucks. Have you been to East Auckland? It's miles away. I went once and the sky tower was real small. That's how you... I got real scared. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:14 How do you navigate? I can't see the sky tower. It's real little. I'm like, I need to go home. I feel lost. Yeah. I can't live on the North Shore of Auckland. Why?
Starting point is 00:35:24 I'm not South African. I don't think that's a good reference. And I don't like sailing. Yeah. I can't live on the north shore of Auckland. Why? I'm not South African. I don't think that's a good reference. And I don't like sailing. I think you've either got to be one of the two. Or if you're a South African that likes sailing, holy moly, do I have the compass direction of Auckland for you. I reckon South Auckland would probably be the next Auckland I could live in. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Well, something's happened in West Auckland that the nation needs to hear about. Yeah, this is on an Auckland businesses page where I guess people are just like shouting out, but also giving other people heads up about businesses in Auckland. The poster is anonymous because I found this on the New Zealand subreddit. Okay. So I don't even have a name, but I can see a tiny picture of her Facebook profile. And she's about as West Auckland as you get. Okay. I thought you were going to say she's about a one. I was like, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:36:09 No, no, no, no, no. She's a West Auckland six. Yeah, oh absolutely. You can tell she's wearing Ugg boots even though you can't see them, right? Yeah. Yeah. You can tell she's got live, love, laugh somewhere in her house even though you can't see it. Okay. Definitely. And this
Starting point is 00:36:23 is about Hollywood Cafe, Lincoln Road Henderson. This must be what you do. Is this Hollywood Bakery? Same thing? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Hollywood Bakery, Lincoln Road Henderson. I used to love their ginger slices.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Do you remember that when we worked next to one of those? Yeah. They do a good saucy roll. Yeah. It's not a bad saucy roll. It's one of those saucy rolls that are craving for a couple of back that'll leave a grease film in your mouth for a good few hours. You have to have a hot tea to wash it out. Get out.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Get a green tea in you. Hollywood Cafe, Lincoln Road, Henderson. I was out shopping with my grandchildren and found myself taken short. I went to the warehouse right next to Hollywood Cafe. And if you're familiar with Lincoln Road, I can picture this. I've been in that warehouse many times. I went to the warehouse right next to Hollywood Cafe and if you're familiar with Lincoln Road, I can picture this. I've been in that warehouse many times. I went to the warehouse right next to Hollywood Cafe to use the toilet but it was informed it was being renovated.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Oh, okay. I shot into the Hollywood Cafe to use the toilet and was denied access. Yep. I lost it a bit and put my face a few inches away from the staff member and said, if you deny me entry, I'll take a dump in your doorway. Keep in mind, she is out with her grandchildren.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Yeah, and she's busting. Yep. She's setting a great example. Yeah, she is. She's busting to set a great example and busting to do poos. So, yes, if you deny me entry, I will take a dump in your doorway. I left the cafe pulling my pants down But thought better of it as it would be me Whom was fined?
Starting point is 00:37:55 I like with all this talk about taking a dump In a bakery's doorway She decides at this stage we'll say whom It's time for a whom She pulls her pants down She's pulling them down. As if to be like.
Starting point is 00:38:06 You know sometimes you do this in your own home on the way to the bathroom. Oh yeah it's the same time. Start wiggling the trousers down.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Especially if you're really busted. Yeah it's like you know those ones where you get home and you're absolutely like about to poop your pants and you get in
Starting point is 00:38:21 the front door and you're like rock roll drop drop. Colon swing to bowel everybody's like we're home baby and you're like, rock, roll, drop, drop, colon, sphincter, bowel. Everybody's like, we're home, baby. And you're just like, ah! And your wife's like, hello. And you're like, I'll say hello in a minute.
Starting point is 00:38:33 And you run to the toilet and get your pants out of the way. But she's doing that on the way out the doorway of a cafe, starting to wiggle down the trail. Oh, my Lord. But I thought better of it as it would be me whom was fined. And so that's where it ends. When you consider it was lunchtime and there was only one table in use, question mark, question mark, question mark,
Starting point is 00:38:54 please avoid using the Hollywood Cafe as they do not deserve anybody's patronage. That's wildly unfair. You're not a customer and they have a customer-only toilet policy. You could have said kids grab a seat and get a couple of slices of food roll. But do they even have a toilet? I'll get a cappuccino. Some places don't. They do.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Right. Yeah. Okay. But was she planning on buying some food? Because usually those bakeries or any place really is toilet for customers only. Kind of people coming in off the street and taking a dump. 100%. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:39:30 I kind of wish they'd done it now. It would have been big in years. Big in years, yeah. Fantastic ability to use the high ground after you were about to take a dump on somebody's floor. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:39:49 It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Well, today's silly little pole. How do we feel about pets on the bed? Yes or no?
Starting point is 00:40:08 I'm a massive petter on the bedder. Petter on the bedder. I was once a bed wetter, now I'm a petter on the bed. But some people hate it. Even little cats, they'll be like, no, they stay outside. I don't like pets on the bed. No. We once had pets on a bed
Starting point is 00:40:25 And I hated it A little one rolled over And wouldn't fail out No I hated the cat on the bed Because when they woke up They'd just like Pour at you Dogs on the bed were bad
Starting point is 00:40:34 I don't like any animals on the bed I do love my cat on the bed But this morning It was twenty past four And he put his claw up on my side Yeah no And put a claw into me And I just whacked him off.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yeah, they know. They know. He knows it's nearly breakfast time. Rolly does it too. Like if he wants to hop on the bed for a little sleep, hops up, finds a snuggle point, goes to sleep. If he wants to hop on the bed for food, he's like, and he makes this noise and wakes us up.
Starting point is 00:41:01 The thing that annoys me is, all right, I just got a California king bed. Massive bed. Yeah. And still the cat is in the middle of where you want to be. And so we're constantly, like, moving. So we're still, like, short on space. Because of the cat.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah, Raleigh, like, comes in. But then there's space, but it's just in the wrong place. Well, there's plenty of space, but he doesn't go for that space. He goes in your space. Maybe you could talk to Celia about making little cat beds. Yeah, or a little cat sort of attachment. But the cat doesn't care about the bed.
Starting point is 00:41:32 The cat cares about you. It just wants the warmth, wants to moderate its warmth off you. Always the legs. Tucked into the crooked legs or between your legs. Get rid of them. No.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Get rid of them. Kick them out. Some responses from people. How do we feel about pets on the bed? Did we give the poll? No, we didn't. Yes, the poll. We've got pets on the bed.
Starting point is 00:41:53 66% of people said yes. And 34% of people said no way. Just too annoying. But it's nice. It's going to be cuddles. No. Okay, well, some feedback from people. Jordan says, what is the point of having a pet if they don't sleep on the bed?
Starting point is 00:42:09 Yeah. What are you doing? They say, also, have you tried telling a cat no? Yeah. It just doesn't work. You can't. Get out of here. This is the same excuse for, I don't know what went wrong with my murderer child.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Yeah, right. Oh, we tried. We tried for like a year at the start of their life and then we just gave up. And I don't know what went wrong. Of course you can tell a cat no. Squid it in the face with a water bottle. Tell a cat no. We can't kick Rolly out because before our Reno's,
Starting point is 00:42:38 the only place we could put a cat flap is into our bedroom. The doors from outside into our bedroom. So if we lock him in the house, it's not fair. He needs access to the toilet. Well, Brooke said, if it's good enough for my partner's rotten bum, it's good enough for those angels. Have a shower. Why is it rotten?
Starting point is 00:42:54 Emma says, cat, yes. Dogs, no. Unless it's small, non-smelly breed, like a schnauzer. Oh, yeah. Schnauzer stink. You'd have to put a ramp up to your bed, wouldn't you, for a schnauzer? Yeah. Stupid.
Starting point is 00:43:08 The dog left hair everywhere, but they do sleep in our room. Another reason a dog should never be in a bedroom. Not even just not on the bed. It's not in the bedroom. Amy has a during the day yes, but overnight no rule. Yeah, right. She's messaged in. Jess says too much maintenance keeping them clean enough.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Can't be bothered cleaning with a fluff. They've got a fluffy dog. Yeah, right. She's messaged in. Jess says, too much maintenance keeping them clean enough. Can't be bothered cleaning with a fluff. They've got a fluffy dog. Renee says, we upgraded our queen to a super king so we could fit the dog. Yeah, the things we do
Starting point is 00:43:34 for our pets. I know. The dog isn't allowed on beds at my parents' house but when I visit the dog I have an arrangement and a secret look and I invite him
Starting point is 00:43:42 onto the bed for a cuddle. Oh, yeah. Like, come on. Oh, and then they say, don't read my name out. If you do read my message out, please don't say my name. My family all listens to your show and I don't want to be outed. Okay, we can't say their name. I didn't even have the name to say.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Their profile picture, they're on a boat. Get them, family. Get them. Get that dog off the bed. Get them. She's in a dress on a boat. Get them. Get them.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Yeah, if you know someone that's on a boat. And their profile picture. And they wear a dress and they've got blonde hair. Get him. Don't let the dog sleep on the bed. The Oscars. God, it keeps giving us a lot of fodder, isn't it? It does.
Starting point is 00:44:18 For entertainment. One moment you might have missed. A small moment, but it's very funny. I don't know why I really, really enjoy this video. There's a video that someone had posted. It's on the red carpet of the Vanity Fair after party, which is the after party. That's the one that you wanted to invite to.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Yeah, apparently tickets are like $100,000. If you're not invited. Oh, right. But celebrities don't have to pay, do they? Absolutely not. I saw a list of all the celebrities that went to this thing. There was like... The hottest.
Starting point is 00:44:46 The hottest celebrities you hadn't thought about in ages. Celebrities I had not heard of because I'm not on the cusp of who's a celebrity doing what. Who's who. Fashion, actors, musicians. Influencers. Yeah, everybody was there. It was insane. Well, the moment before going into the party,
Starting point is 00:45:03 there's this video that someone's captured of Lady Gaga. She's a singer, an actor. You may have heard of her. You might have. And Caitlyn Jenner of Keeping Up
Starting point is 00:45:15 with the Kardashians fame. And they're having this sort of awkward interaction and like, you can see in Lady Gaga's face that she's like, I just want to go
Starting point is 00:45:23 into the party. I don't want to be talking to you. I don't want to be talking to you. I don't want to be talking to you. And the conversation goes like this, like, hi, hi, how are you? I'm good, thank you. And then Caitlin's like, are you spending any time around Malibu anymore, Gaga?
Starting point is 00:45:35 Yes. And then Jenna goes, oh, I haven't seen you at Starbucks in a while. And then Gaga goes, I've switched baristas. And then she walks away. So that's a thing now. That's a thing now.
Starting point is 00:45:49 You say, I've switched baristas. So when people say to you, it's going to be, everyone's going to use this term, people will be like, oh, have you seen Vaughn recently? You'll be like, well, let's just say I've switched baristas. Yeah. A good way of saying, I don't really want to see that. It was absolutely a court, like, making something up, right?
Starting point is 00:46:07 Who just, in her face, like, I've switched baristas. And then walks away. It is absolutely incredible. But do you think Caitlyn Jenner was purposely trying to run into Lady Gaga at Starbucks? Absolutely. I hate to say it, but Caitlyn Jenner is an absolute piece of work. Not a fan. Yeah, she's homophobic and just really backwards politics,
Starting point is 00:46:31 given the privilege she's had to be who she wants to be. Anyway. You would change baristas. Let's just say I would switch baristas. Or you'd maybe go at a different time. Yeah. So we want to put it to you. When did you stop going somewhere to avoid someone?
Starting point is 00:46:48 Like Lady Gaga so clearly has hair. Yeah, because that's what's happened. Yeah. Also, I mean, Starbucks. Why do they have their coffee from Starbucks? I love that we're switching baristas. Like she's going to another boutique little coffee shop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:01 It's just America, right? They love Starbucks. They don't have the coffee culture that we do here. No. Don't they use like syrup? Syrup and milk? Probably. So maybe there would be a time, say, where you break up with someone and they might say
Starting point is 00:47:14 there might even be a cafe or a coffee shop that they go to. You can't go there anymore. You can't go there anymore. Or maybe an awkward encounter with somebody at a retest or. Yeah. Can't shop there anymore. Can't go there again. Or you hook up with someone and you're like,
Starting point is 00:47:26 oh, I can't go there. They work there. Yeah, maybe you hooked up with a gym instructor. Can't go to pump class anymore. Oh, now you have to change gyms. Yeah, now I'm getting all flabby and soft. I can't go back to the gym. He's there.
Starting point is 00:47:36 All right, well, 0800-DARLS-IT-EM. We want to take your calls. You can text as well, 9696. When did you stop going somewhere just to avoid someone? We're having a good old giggle after a very awkward interaction between Lady Gaga and Caitlyn Jenner has come up online and
Starting point is 00:47:51 Caitlyn's like, wow, I don't see you at Starbucks anymore. And Lady Gaga's like, yeah, I switched baristas and left. So clearly Lady Gaga had stopped frequenting the Malibu Starbucks to avoid Caitlyn. To avoid her. and left. So clearly Lady Gaga had stopped frequenting the Malibu Starbucks to avoid Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:48:06 To avoid her. So we asked you when did you stop going somewhere? Somewhere you used to always go just to avoid a specific person.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yeah, maybe an ex or you're hooked up with someone. Someone you don't like. Yeah. Maybe you did the dirty at work or something. You know, you'd like
Starting point is 00:48:24 really stuffed up at work and now you're constantly avoiding with someone. Someone you don't like. Yeah. Maybe you did the dirty at work or something. You know, you'd like really stuffed up at work and now you're constantly avoiding your boss around town. I slept with, this is a text. I didn't sleep with a guy. No, no. Okay. Well, you're very, wow, you're very defensive there. Oh, no, I get on famously with all the men I've slept with.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Yeah. I slept with this dude years ago and it was the most awful 30 seconds of my life. Now, it could have been you. This could be me. Years later, I run into him at my daughter's daycare car park. He was dropping off his new baby. He laughed and made a joke as I was running late for work and looking like a hot mess.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I took my daughter out of that daycare and put her in another one closer to my home so I never had to see him again. That's major. It was a terrible 30 seconds. But then followed up with a joke. He laughed and made a joke. I'm assuming it was about the fact that she was running late and looking a little frazzled. Oh, dear. Caitlyn Jenner is pestering Lady Gaga, so she's changed baristas.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Yes, she switched baristas. The whole awkward thing caught on camera. We want to know when you've changed your habits, when you stopped going somewhere because you hated someone or you didn't want to run into an ex. Or you couldn't show your face again. Yeah. You embarrassed yourself last time you were there.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Maybe you tried to take a poo on the floor of the Hollywood bakery. I think they'll be avoiding Hollywood bakery on Lincoln Road. And then they can't go there anymore. Some Instagram responses. Sarah said, I now have to avoid our local garden centre. I drive an extra 10 minutes to buy plant babies. Why?

They should do car washing.

Starting point is 01:04:26 Wow, we couldn't wait till Friday. The news is hot. The news is so hot about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the face after Will
Starting point is 01:04:34 Smith made, after Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Got up there and smacked her.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Yeah. Smacked him. Smacked him. Females were not smacked. No, females were smacked. Let me clarify. I'm getting my story mixed.
Starting point is 01:04:48 So, yeah, we're bringing Hayley's version forward. Today's version is of the hit song Men in Black from the first film written by Will Smith himself. Yeah. And covered in an Air New Zealand safety video featuring people in black. Oh, my God. Israel Dagg.
Starting point is 01:05:05 That was the worst one. It was one of the worst ones. I would call it a national embarrassment. So let's dive in. I've got some backup singers here. Okay. This could possibly... And backup clappers.
Starting point is 01:05:20 I hope we don't ruin this. This is Hayley's version of Men in Black. This is Big Ol' Slap. Here we go. Here comes the Big Ol' Slap. It's the guy from Hitch. Smacking like a... I wouldn't say it.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Here we go. Here comes the Big Ol' Sl it. I wouldn't say it. Here we go. Here comes a big old slap because my wife's offended. Yeah. This year's Oscars will whack. Remember that. Will Smith took the stage and gave Chris Rock a big slap. Turned his back to leave. We're in disbelief
Starting point is 01:05:57 hoping that what we just saw we did not see. Chris was presenting and made a bad joke about Will's wife Jada and the fire was stoked. No sooner was it said Will was out of his seat, stepped up, drew back and whacked right on the cheek The room fell silent, this Hollywood giant was laughing One second, then the next he turned violent Don't know about his mum, but Chris looks scared
Starting point is 01:06:15 Looks like he's moving with his auntie and uncle in Bel Air Here comes a big ol' slap One will all remember. Good chorus. Here comes a big old slap. A person my wife's offended. While the world was watching on the edge of the couch, he yells, take my wife's name out your effing mouth.
Starting point is 01:06:40 The audience laughs, huh, surely it's a bit. Then he yells it again and everyone thinks, shit, tension swell, it's awkward as hell. Worse than John Travolta trying to say Idina Menzel. Worse than Jennifer Lawrence falling flat on her face. Worse than Moonlight thinking they had won first place. Speculations fly, this can't be real. Any second now, Ashton Kutcher will reveal you got punked.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Or it's a publicity stunt for a brand new film starring Emily Blunt, right? Wrong, that's not the case. The Fresh Prince slapped Marty the Zebra in the face. Well, maybe that's the last we'll hear of him. Oh no, best actor, Will Smith wins. Ah, ah, here comes a big old slap. One we'll all remember. Here comes a big old slap.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Bit like the fledge bitch Cause my wife's offended Let me see you make a post about it Make a post about it Make a post about it Come on then let me see you do Oprah about it Do Oprah about it Do Oprah about it Come on I wanna see all the memes about it
Starting point is 01:07:39 All the memes about it All the memes about it Come on I wanna use it as a gif Now scream. Good. Here comes a big old slap. One will I remember. Here comes a big old slap.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Because my wife's offended. That's Hayley's version. That was a goodie. Yes. Good chorus work, guys. Good chorus work. Great stuff. Great stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:15 God, I don't know how this is going to... He's going to live it down. It's going to be around in history for a long time, that slap. Great work. I did good clapping too. You did good clapping. I thought after the first chorus you were going to join in on that second chorus.
Starting point is 01:08:28 No, he was focusing on the claps. Yeah. Focusing on the claps. You did great claps. One thing at a time, guys. He can't clap very well. It's my backup group. Play.
Starting point is 01:08:38 ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A simple tweet has set the internet ablaze, as it so often does. The tweet that went viral said, middle-aged Twitter, bracket, 22 to 25, bracket, is so interesting. Middle-aged Twitter. Are people younger than 28 on Twitter? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Kids. I don't know who's on Twitter. Teenagers, 18 and 19 and stuff, they'd be on the Twits still. I don't think. Kids. I don't know who's on Twitter. Teenagers, 18 and 19 and stuff, they'd be on the Twits still. I don't think anyone uses Twitter anymore. But the wild thing about this is not the term middle-aged Twitter.
Starting point is 01:09:12 It's the fact that they think middle-aged is 22 to 25. And so now the internet's debating what age is middle-aged. Yeah, people are going like, hang on, I mean, that's obviously wrong. 22 to 25 is still your youths.
Starting point is 01:09:22 To me, that's a quarter-life crisis. Yeah, absolutely. 25 is, yeah. That's, yeah, that's a quarter-life crisis. Yeah, absolutely. 25 is. That's, yeah, oh my God, what am I doing with my life? What am I doing? Where do I want to go? I shouldn't have done that at uni. Shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 01:09:32 That was a mistake. Now I'm going to go again. I'm behind. Da-da-da-da. Everyone's having babies. So now people are debating. And then the dictionary definition, which is always right, of middle age is the period of your life usually considered to be from about 45 to 60 years old.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Now, even that to me, 45, seems outrageous. Well, my mother called me middle-aged when I turned 40. Did she? Yeah, and I said, well, that makes you a geriatric. Sit down. Yeah, but she said that's when they turned 40, that was what was considered middle age. No, geriatric women are... 35. Yeah, 35 and over. That's pregnancies.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Once you're over 35, it's called a geriatric pregnancy. Geriatric pregnancy. They need a rebrand. My mother-in-law told me that she was in hospital at 35, having her fifth child, and then read the sign and was like, beg your pardon? Geriatric.
Starting point is 01:10:23 So now they're saying, absolutely absolutely it's not 22 to 25. They think middle age is closer to 48 is what they're saying nowadays. Yeah, because most people would live to, you know, like late 70s, 80s. Yeah, 96, right. Is that right? Yes, 96. And so 48 being the middle of 96. God, I'm not going to have enough Kiwi saver if that's how long I've got to.
Starting point is 01:10:44 They say that 30 to 47 is just no man's land. There's no term for it. We're just sort of like floating around until we get old. But don't they say 60 is the new 40? 60 is the new 40? Yeah. So 30 is the new 10. Yes!
Starting point is 01:11:04 Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, a bit of a disaster yesterday. I was driving my Mazda 3 2013. Lovely leather interiors. And I tell you what, the reason I bought it off of my friend, comedian Pax Asadi, was because it has the most amazing sound system. And we'll come back to this. Right, okay.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Very, very good sound system. So yesterday I popped out to QMU to go to the supermarket. I was driving back and I heard a sound, a familiar sound. And then I turned the corner onto the back roads of QMU and I heard a very familiar sound of... Oh, flat tyre. Flat tyre. Have you ever had a tyre blow out when you're going 100 k's? No, thankfully. I have.
Starting point is 01:11:51 It's not fun. No, I haven't. It's not fun. No. Who was it that had their tyre roll past them? That wasn't you, was it? I just... No.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Why are they driving? They were driving and they were just like, weird tyre, and then the back right hand of their car went backwards and then they spun around. Oh,, tyre, and then the back right hand of their car went, eh, backwards, and then they spun around. Oh, my God, no. Horrible. Anyway, so I pulled over to the side, like the side of this kind of rural back road,
Starting point is 01:12:12 and I was like, oh, what a pain, but also not a problem. I do know how to change a tyre. C'est la vie. It's going to be all right. And then so I pulled over, put my hazards on, got out of the car, went into the back, into the boot, and there's a little, in Mazdas there's this little side thing, and I was like,
Starting point is 01:12:31 I hope there's a jack here. I actually didn't check when I bought it off of my friend, Pac Society, who sold me the car. Yep, comedian Pac Society. Comedian Pac Society. I want his name to stick in our minds. So I pulled this little contraption, and there it was, the jack and the kind of wrench and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:12:45 I was like, great. I'll just have to put the space saver on for a little bit and I'll deal with this another day. I had a lot on yesterday. It was a busy day. I had two meetings. I was working on my Hayley's version, of course. Lots to do. Anyway, so then I took out all my stuff from the boot.
Starting point is 01:13:01 There's always stuff in my boot. And I lifted up the flap where the where the tire is supposed to be no tire can you even get a warrant can you even get a warrant without it i just got a warrant it's not too late you must be able to because they would have checked that oh yeah i don't know someone said this to me i was sharing the whole thing on my instagram stories of course because i'm always here for the content. Yeah. I lifted it up and then, yeah, there was this kind of polystyrene filler that had all these cutouts.
Starting point is 01:13:31 And I was like, what's this? And I lifted that where the compartment where the space saver is supposed to go. And in its place was like all this stuff for this excellent sound system that Pax Asadi had installed in the car before he sold it to me. So he put in a sound system, the same sound system you're using and loving. Pax Asadi, New Zealand comedian Pax Asadi. You might have seen him on Raised by Refugees, also available on Neon.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Did he cut you a deal with this car? No, absolutely not. Did you do your research? Did you take it to get a mechanical check? Were they checked for all of this? We're putting this on PAX. We're not putting this on me. Okay. So what would you say to PAX?
Starting point is 01:14:11 You should have told me there wasn't a spare tyre. PAX, what would you say to that? I would say, Hayley Sproul, because we've got him on the phone, that it's your responsibility when you're buying a car to check all the elements of the car and make sure you're happy before you buy it. Is that not correct, Hayley Sprout?
Starting point is 01:14:35 Caveat emptor. There's even a Latin phrase for let the buyer beware. I'm sorry. Come and come and come. If I was buying this, Pax Asadi, I consider you a dear friend. If I was buying this off of some random stranger, I would have done my due diligence because I don't trust them. But I trust you as a dear friend.
Starting point is 01:14:51 I would have expected you. But also, you are a dear friend of mine. And you know I am of Iranian descent. And you know you can never trust an Iranian man when buying a car. You know this information. Okay. I didn't take these things into account. That is on you. That is on your head. So where
Starting point is 01:15:09 is the space saver? Where did you put it? Well, I don't know where the I don't know what the deal is with the space saver but okay, I did take the tyre. Also, Hayley, you're a wealthy, wealthy, we all know you're a wealthy woman, right? You could have just called Javier, your manservant,
Starting point is 01:15:25 to come pick you up when you were stuck in CUNY. Javier was busy, Pax. I had to do this all on my own. Well, what about Enrique? I should have called Enrique. Yeah, you should have. I don't have servants that look after me in this case. I did take the tyre.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Where is it? I want it. I paid you. Well, I want it. I paid you. Well, I sold it. I'm so sorry. I sold it to a kindergarten. They made a swing out of it. Well, their last tyre swing got stolen. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:15:56 So I sold them a tyre so they could make a tyre swing. This local kindergarten is swinging on my space over. I also did steal their tyre swing and sold it to another kindergarten. He's running a lucrative tyre swing pyramid scheme. I just saw it, Paxton. This is information that you pass on when you buy a car. And all you did when I was buying it, Paxton, was like, oh, the sound system, Hayley.
Starting point is 01:16:16 Oh, the sound system. Listen to this. Listen to this. Not mentioning that the cost of the sound system means that I can't have a spare tyre. Do you remember when I screamed at you when you tried to open the boot as well?
Starting point is 01:16:27 It's all making sense now. Oh, okay. It's all clicking into place. Well, I have to say, the bill ended up being hefty. I had to call my road assistance, which was free on my insurance. I got towed from there
Starting point is 01:16:38 back to Kiumiu to Bridgestone Tyres, who then told me, and I will admit this is on me, my front two tyres were basically balled and no wonder they burst. That sounds like a Pax thing, though, too. I will admit this is on me, my front two tyres were basically bald and no wonder they burst. That sounds like a Pax thing though too.
Starting point is 01:16:48 I feel, actually Pax, you sold me a car. Was that a sledge or lawn? Which white guy was that? This is a sledge on me. They did say to me, your tyres are dangerously bald. Pax, I've only owned this car for a year and tyres last longer than that. So you, not only
Starting point is 01:17:04 have you sold me a car that doesn't have a you, not only have you sold me a car that doesn't have a space saver tyre, you sold me a dangerous vehicle. I was a ticking time bomb. Are you trying to imply that I was trying to put you in danger to take your spot as host of Have You Been Playing A Pitcher? You want to host my show. Is that what you're implying?
Starting point is 01:17:15 I am implying that. I feel like, I hope our relationship, our friendship isn't damaged after this. Oh, it's irreversibly damaged. I had to buy two new tyres. I'm $600 short and you're getting the invoice, mate. It's okay. We're both wealthy people.
Starting point is 01:17:31 It's fine. Send it my way. Pax, thanks so much for joining us this morning. Thanks, Pax. Bye, Hayley. I love you, Hayley. Love you too. This is why you don't buy a car off a friend or sell to a friend.

Starting point is 01:23:47 I'm surprised. Now, what would you do with $100,000? That's the big question because it's $100,000 Thursday. I know. I don't actually know, but I'm a student, so it would probably just help with general life. Booze. That is a lot of booze.
Starting point is 01:24:01 That is a lot of booze. A lot of booze. A lot of books. If you add it all up over three years, sometimes four years, $100,000, you'll barely make it. Well, yeah, exactly. Pay off your student loan, you'll probably be even by the time you finish. All right, well, Karina, the secret sound,
Starting point is 01:24:17 this is the sound that we need you to identify. $100,000 is yours. What is it, if you can tell us correctly. Well, I think it's individual yogurt puddles being snapped apart from each other. Oh, that's a great guess. I remember being a young boy at the supermarket. Do you remember? And the lady telling me off for breaking open the six packs. Yeah, not for individual resale.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Not for individual resale. Because it was so much fun. Do you remember you used to hang them on the outside of the shopping trolley? Still do. Still do. Resale. Not for individual resale. Because it was so much fun. Do you remember you used to hang them on the outside of the shopping trolley? Still do. Still do. Pop them up there. Love that.
Starting point is 01:24:53 Now bananas in a trolley. Bananas like that in a trolley indicated you were up for it. What? Yogurt like that in a trolley indicated you've got kids at home, so leave me alone. Bananas hanging in a trolley means you're D to go. They've got to be a certain way, don't they? Yeah, otherwise they'll just fall off each other.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Yeah. No, no, it's bananas curve up. Yeah. Means you're into it. I'm up. Oh, my gosh. You're up for it. Find love in the grocery aisle. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:20 Simply place a single banana in your trolley to show that you're ready to mingle. A single banana? No one's buying a single banana. I'm not going to talk to a freak that's buying a single banana in your trolley to show that you're ready to mingle. A single banana? No one's buying a single banana. I'm not going to talk to a freak that's buying a single banana. That's sus. Who buys one banana? Karina.
Starting point is 01:25:31 Very sus. We digress. I've never heard the banana thing, to be honest. Try it. Try it. Well, hey. Bananas up. Do you want to hear the Urban Dictionary?
Starting point is 01:25:42 Oh, my God. Sorry, Katrina. A phrase common in the gay community means that one is publicly interested in anonymous hookups. It refers to the practice of one turning one's banana bunch curved upwards in the shopping cart at the grocery store. This means that the cart pusher is looking to get his cart pushed. Sounds right up your alley, Karina.
Starting point is 01:26:02 No wonder I get followed to the car. Yeah, all the time. by all those hot gay men. You're just buying one banana there. I'm buying a bunch of banana, but I'm going to curve up. Okay. Okay, great. Lovely. Els, get us out of here.
Starting point is 01:26:16 I will. Katrina, let's get down to it. Karina. Let's get down to it. Bananas up. Your guess wasn't even a banana. You're locking in yogurt bottles. Pottles.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Pottles. Pottles. Snapping. Yes, yes, locking right in. All right. Great guess, but that is not the secret sound. Unlucky. Unlucky. Sorry, Karina.
