Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast.
It's thanks to McCafe.
Drive through and get a cup of barista-made coffee on the go.
And for keen podcast fans and listeners, you may think,
ooh, he sounds a bit different.
That's because we're in our Wellington studios today,
which you'll hear on the podcast.
You'll hear the drops of sweat dropping down onto the mic drops of jupiter in her hair yeah it's no air con no yeah yeah but a train there
for you to start beautiful song that was beautiful most welcome um yes so yes yes yes bit of a dusty
show um yeah it is.
So I get emails, right?
My agent will get approached by people desperate to work with me.
And then now.
Does that explain all of your film and television roles in the last few years? That's right.
And then my agent will sift through the shit and only bring me the real stuff that I should consider.
Put it across my table.
Like Hollywood movies.
Yeah, or an invitation from the New Zealand Grain and Seed Trade Association.
Oh, wow.
Okay, do tell us more.
This fascinates me.
A grain and seed trade.
So they trade grains and seeds.
Is this because you were the face of Ploughman's bread loads?
Yeah, I think so.
So, I mean, you probably won't have seen them,
but I did some little hosting kind of interview stuff for a bread company here in New Zealand called Ploughman's bread loads? Yeah, I think so. So if you, I mean, you probably won't have seen them, but I did some little hosting
kind of interview stuff
for a bread company
here in New Zealand
called Ploughman's.
Yeah.
And I met with seed growers
and grain growers
about, you know,
local produce.
Because the other day
there was like a video
about a flood hit
area suburb in Auckland
and I was like,
oh, I need to see this video
of the, you know,
the bus floating down the river.
And then like,
I was like, wait for this ad. And then it of the bus floating down the river. And then it was like, wait for this ad.
And then it was like, Plowmans.
I don't know if that's how it went.
It's a great ad.
It was more like, Plowmans.
I don't think.
Hayley, the mic technique, why did they not re-record this?
Tell us why your local ingredients just taste so much better.
Tell us why!
And it just went on,
and I was like,
you couldn't skip the ad.
Hey, that paid for my roof.
Anyway.
Fair call, yeah.
Props.
So I MC a lot of corporate events,
and usually you go up,
you do like five minutes of stand-up,
and then you push through some awards,
and you chuckle,
and you keep the night moving,
nice and fun and light,
and you get out of there.
This invitation is for a 30-minute talk to seed and grain growers
from around New Zealand and to help them to communicate better their desires.
Wait a minute, you're running a therapy group for horny seed farmers?
Yeah, so how to communicate local tastes better.
And they want my insights.
Hayley Sproul, comedian, actress, radio.
Yeah, someone who famously, when they eat bread, gets an immediate stomachache.
He just touched my stomach, it's rock hard.
She said, touch my baby, and I touched her stomach.
It was rock hard, it's the IBS.
They will want my insights into what learnings the New Zealand grain industry may need to take on to achieve our objectives.
Are they trying to woke?
Are they trying to get them to be woke?
I'm not very woke.
They're going to get some woke left-leaning greenie in there.
There's going to be 80 grain and seed growers, and they want me to talk for 30 minutes, half an hour,
about how to communicate their mission around grain and seed in New Zealand.
Yeah, I hear bloody, we're going to switch seeds in the ground,
and then you just watch the ground, and you have a nice rice.
I'm going to do this right now.
You do it!
No, I'm just doing how they do it.
Yeah, how bloody right, bloody right, bloody right.
Bloody right, yeah, too bloody right, mate.
The seeds go in the ground, as my grandpappy used to say.
I feel like seed and any kind of farming conference
or anything
needs an ex-all black
this has Richie McCaw
written all over it
it does
it's got an ex-all black
trying to teach them
how to communicate
have you seen Richie talk
he's very like
nothing against him
one of the greatest
all blacks
he's bumming
alright
anyway
I've quietly declined
just because
what the fuck
would I say
for 30 minutes
about seeds?
About grain and seeds.
Yeah.
Do you have a favourite?
I quite like a...
I've got pumpkin.
Yeah, what about those ones you sprinkle sesame on Japanese food?
Yeah, but that's not poppy.
I love a sesame poppy, yeah.
No, and the teeth have got tight teeth, can't have poppies.
Tight teeth can't have poppies.
I'd go a pumpkin or a sunflower.
Yeah, okay.
Well, shit, that's five minutes.
Now, are sunflower seed growers part of the seed and grain trade,
or are they flower growers who happen to have a by-product?
They could be part of the Vegetable Growers Association.
Yeah.
Because it turns into a vegetable oil, doesn't it?
It turns into a vegetable, yeah.
I don't know if the oil merchants will be there.
I think you've missed out here, Sproul, on an opportunity.
Maybe I'll renege on my polite decline and
whip up a 30 minute. Surely they would
tell you what to say over 30 minutes. Nope.
They want my insights and how
to communicate.
There you go.
The world ladies and gentlemen if you needed any further
indication is fucked.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn
and Hayley.
Thank you, Sam.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Two minutes past six from our Wellington studios today,
which are underneath in the, what would you say,
in the bowels of Sky Stadium.
In the bowels.
In the bowels of Sky Stadium in Wellington.
Yeah, all of our voices are an octave lower this morning.
Yes, a few wines last night.
A few wines
at a fantastic concert.
What a concert.
What a show.
If you've got
the Auckland shows
coming up
and I believe
there are some
resale tickets
for next Friday
and also tickets
for Saturday's shows.
Wow, that stage
is going to blow your way.
That's custom built
that stage.
Oh my God.
It's like nothing
I've ever seen.
Do you know what I loved
is how happy he was to be here.
So happy.
He just loves New Zealand.
He loves to perform, doesn't he?
He loves to perform.
It never feels like a task.
No.
He plays for over two hours, non-stop, no break,
rotating stage, running the whole time.
And I know that he's got a band this time, but the band...
Only for a couple of songs.
Only for a few songs.
And the way it was set up.
All him.
Spoiler alert. So cool.
It's incredible.
This morning on the show, 8 o'clock,
we got some time with Ed Sheeran yesterday at Sky Stadium.
Little stand-up presser.
He knew who we were.
It was a pretty sweet moment when he goes,
Hey, I know who you are. I was like, okay. Are he goes, hey, hey, I know who you are.
I was like, okay.
Are you sure, though, or is he just being nice?
No, no, no, no.
He looked me in the eye with a sense of recognition and was like, Sproul, what's up?
I found you.
Right, yeah.
So our chat with Ed Sheeran, he answers a bunch of questions.
Eight o'clock this morning on the show.
Now, it is a long weekend, I just remembered.
Yes. It's Waitangi. It weekend, I just remembered. Yes.
It's Waitangi on Monday.
Correct.
But if you're listening to the news there,
many roads are still in really bad shape.
Yeah, a lot of people still working from home.
Yeah, Auckland.
In Auckland and the upper North Island.
Roads are ruined.
The road in and out of Raglan's gone.
Also, some more inclement weather today.
So we have, out of an abundance of caution, cancelled.
Well, not cancelled, just skipped.
Well, they cancelled this one.
Skipped.
Yeah, skipping this long weekend group too,
which does break our hearts.
Yeah, it does.
Our tiny, cute little hearts.
But you need to be both hands on the wheel.
Yes.
Eyes on the road.
Yes.
Around New Zealand.
No silly buggers today.
No tooting.
And I know the conspiracy theorists will be going crazy about why they won't have cancelled Long Week in Group 2.
They won't have swallowed that pill you've just given them.
They might think we're not doing a live radio show today, so piss and shit.
See, Fletch wouldn't have let that happen.
I would not have. He would not.
Even the look I'm getting now, I'm going to get a stern talent off when we start playing
the sex song.
Very naughty.
No, I don't want them to think that we've, you know, gone to Ed Sheeran, had an absolute
blowout, eaten too many of those little lemon meringue pies that were in the catering.
Which people were asking, was there pud last night?
Because we did talk about getting pud after dinner
and does that count as pud?
It was a pud nibble.
It was pud nibble.
A nibble pud.
It was pud adjacent.
Yeah.
It wasn't full pud.
We didn't go full pud.
Tonight,
I'm staying in Wellington.
I've got to stagger you
this weekend.
Oh God.
Old Smithy's put three
of them back to back, baby.
God, Smithy will be
rolling out of Wellington
Airport on Sunday.
Monday.
His liver is engorged.
But tonight, I'm definitely getting put.
You're going to put.
I'm going put.
Good for you.
Full put.
I'm going to an Argentinian barbecue.
What does an Argentinian do for a put?
Just goes away and eats.
We've got an Argentinian friend.
Oh, you know.
Yeah, should we ask him what they do for put?
I don't think the people of Argentina would like him to be their representative.
He's an absolutely controversial character.
Argentinian pudding.
Argentinian pudding.
Traditional Argentinian pudding.
Or you'd probably search dessert because they wouldn't say pudding.
Oh, we've got cakes.
We've got delicious Argentinian.
What's this little sort of yo-yo looking thing?
It's very cake heavy
Oh okay
So cake heavy
On the pud
Low on the fruit
Heavy on the cake
Heavy on the pud
Whiskey on the meat
And then I want
An Argentinian pud
Okay
They're called
Alfa Jaws
Okay
Well fantastic
We'll keep you updated
With the Argentinian pud
Situation throughout
The show this morning
They love a plan
What do you think
This is going to
Like a developing
Situation
It's a developing situation?
It's a developing breaking news story.
Do we need NZ Hero to get the red banner going? We do.
Put Argentinian put updates throughout the morning.
Considering flan.
What does Kate Hawksby think about Argentinian puts?
We'll cross live now.
Yes, bye Katie.
We're putting people, aren't we?
Oh, it's stupid.
Don't say we're leaving without putting
Coming up on the show
The top six and scientists
Have said we can officially bring back
The woolly mammoth
We can do it, we have the technology
And then they looked us straight in the eyes
The music stopped
And they went do you bloody dare us to
And I said don't be pussies
Do it
I think you're too scared I't be pussies, do it. I'd be too scared.
There's another word we would have beeped out if this wasn't live.
I'd be too scared to do it.
You wimpy little nerds.
That's what I said to the scientists.
You've got the top six other things scientists should
bring back. Fantastic, we got there.
We're just in our
COVID incubating studios
in Wellington
Small, wet carpet
It's a temporary studio, isn't it?
We'll point that out
Yeah, I will say we don't have COVID
Vaughan and I are recovering from man flu
That I gave you
No, no, we don't have COVID
But we've got a wet floor
Zero air conditioning
And a small warehouse brand
oscillating desk fan
Three collective hangovers
No, I'm not hungover I'm just tired You were dancing on the bar tops warehouse brand oscillating desk fan. Three collective hangovers.
No, I'm not hungover.
I'm just tired.
You were dancing on the bar tops last night.
Fletch was a little snorey last night.
Was I?
A little heavy in the breath.
Oh, I'm sorry.
By the way, this guy goes to sleep like that.
Oh, I was tired last night. He was like, I'm just going to put my earplugs up.
Oh, my God.
Jesus Christ.
We had to be up at 4.30am.
I listened to
a podcast. Did you?
Yeah. I hopped into bed and I tuned
straight into iHeartRadio. Can I also
say, if you're in the market for a tight
arse, this guy's got one.
What guy? You. Because it was hot
in the hotel last night. He was sleeping
in his knickers and he picked the sheets
off. I roll across because I had to find my charger.
I had my flashlight on.
My Lord.
It may have been the shadows cast by the flashlight,
but I tell you what, this guy's a great knick.
You couldn't look away.
I couldn't look away.
You're lucky there were undies on because you're usually nude.
I'm sorry.
He's usually a nude sleeper.
I am usually a nude sleeper,
but just let me get this right for the HR complaint.
Yeah.
I don't know if we need to do that, love.
It was a compliment.
All right, love.
Your co-worker was passed out asleep in his knickers.
In his knickers.
He's had a few wines.
And you had a gawk.
I had a look.
Although you did give me a compliment,
so now I'm torn because it's made me feel good.
Yeah.
And I've told work previously, I said, if you don't want me having a look, you've got to get a separate room.
And that just goes across the board.
Can we put it to the people and get a photo up on FBHCD socials?
I took a photo.
I knew you would have.
I took a photo.
We'll pop that up on the socials.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
This is why we don't room share.
We haven't room shared for years.
I had a great...
Producer Carwin.
She's an angel.
She's a silent sleeping queen.
Did anybody,
did Hayley snore?
No.
I woke myself up
with a little fart though.
And then I did
check the room
to see if Carwin
was going to giggle.
We'll be like,
oh,
and she was fast asleep.
She was,
okay,
great.
Now,
we did say that Netflix
threatened
months ago to do something.
Well, it turns out they have now done it.
Their threat of a password sharing crackdown has come into effect in some countries.
So where they were trialing this, because we did talk about this a while ago,
they were trialing it in Chile, Costa Rica, Peru,
a few of those Central and South American areas.
They've started the crackdown.
So password sharing will only be allowed within households,
which I'm guessing works on your IP, right?
Yeah. So if you were on the Wi-Fi network at home, you'd be all on the same IP.
But what about when I go, I'm in Wellington today,
I don't live here no longer.
Okay, this is the most annoying thing.
Having just spent like three weeks away.
If you're away, you will be sent a temporary code every seven days.
No, that's dumb.
If you're travelling.
That's dumb.
If that's not on email and you're not roaming with your number, you're screwed.
Like I tried to log into my banking app and I couldn't because I couldn't get the text.
What?
Yeah. What? So.
Yeah.
What about like an iPad and stuff?
So it's not even a new logo.
If it's all in the same household, fine.
But if I take my iPad from home to the gym, away with work, and then overseas.
Yeah, but then you.
Does that change your IP or is.
Well, I don't know because you're still logged in under you.
Also, how good is going to like an Airbnb or something
and the last person left all these streaming services?
Oh, yes.
You start watching all this weird stuff.
I was talking about the sexy content.
Yeah.
The sexy content.
So if you share your password with somebody that doesn't live with you,
you can add an extra member to your plan
for less than the price of a Netflix basic plan.
I don't want to pay anymore.
So if it's not logged into the primary location,
so you'd have to set your primary location as your house,
then they're going to come at you and ask you to pay.
Well, I watch Netflix while we do the show.
Yeah.
Famously.
You go through Stranger Things so quick during the show.
I know, I'm re-watching it right now.
Yeah.
Oh, Demogorgon.
Oh, there it is.
That one was scary.
So, yeah, I mean, it hasn't happened in New Zealand yet,
but, yeah, a lot of people are popping up on TikTok and online
saying, what the hell is this?
They're going dub, dub, dub, dub, pirate bay.
I was going to say time to dust off pirate bay.
Yeah.
Yo-ho-ho.
Maybe a whole lot of Gen Zs will find out what pirate bay is now.
Yeah.
They don't really pirate, eh?
That was where it was at.
You just download whole seasons of them.
I mean, some people did.
Some people did.
I mean, I heard how horrible it affected the movie and music industry.
You had a hard drive full of it, didn't you?
You had multiple hard drives.
No, not me.
You had a movies hard drive, a TV hard drive, and a music hard drive.
I got all of that off your hard drive.
Oh.
I did have quite the hard drive.
Everyone had hard drives, didn't they?
I don't know where my hard drive is, but it's stocked with movies.
If you guys want to watch seasons one through eight of Lost or Gilmore Girls,
I'm your guy.
24?
You had 24 as well, yeah.
Dun, dun, dun, dun.
And now it's all streamable.
Wow.
But, yeah, they're Netflix cracking down on the password,
so it's imminent.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Broadcasting live from our Wellington studios at Sky Stadium today
after the concert last night, Ed Sheeran's show,
an incredible show in the round.
Oh, it's amazing.
We came to work this morning, what, just before 5am,
and the trucks that are lined up that are needed for this stage.
16?
Or 23?
And so the stage that you would have seen on social media last time,
if you weren't at the show, that's going to be shipped to Auckland.
But in Australia, there are two stages.
Already being set up.
Already being set up.
And they kind of leapfrog each other.
So they have a stage in Sydney and the Melbourne stage will be there ready to go.
And then that Sydney stage will go to Brisbane or wherever next.
And then the Melbourne one goes to Poyth because he's doing Perth, right?
And there are like three of them
and the stages are insane, like purpose built.
He spins around on the middle.
Spins around, goes up and down.
There's little sticky bits.
Trap doors.
Trap doors.
Really good.
He's on the show this morning at eight o'clock, Ed Sheeran.
Can we just stop to pause that we were out late last night
and we did have a few wines.
And so this morning I'm really in need of some
food. Because we're not in our usual studio
I was a little bit at a loss and so
Fletch just said, you can have some
of my fruit. You give me,
knowingly, the most disgusting mandarin.
Mandarins are hard to find
at the moment. That's all there is.
It tastes like farts.
I just got a dusty fart.
I didn't grow it.
It's wrapped tight, probably got seeds got like a dusty fart. I know. It's not. I didn't grow it. I'm just saying. It's wrapped tight.
Probably got seeds in it.
Yeah, it's mag.
Well, it's not Mandarin season really, is it?
But you knew that.
You knew that while offering me a Mandarin that it's not Mandarin.
I'm just saying what kind of a friend are you?
That's why it's been in my bag for a week.
The Newstalk ZB studio is just over yonder.
I just went for a bit of a look to see if it was air conditioned
because I was just going to take it.
Oh, right.
I was just going to move us in and then put our sign on their door,
their sign on our door in these temporary studios in Wellington.
And there was two protein bars and a mini fridge.
Who's getting jacked at ZB?
Probably Kerry Woodham, I'd say.
Kerry Woodham.
She is looking jacked.
I see her at the gym all the time.
She's jacked.
She's a fitness fanatic.
I saw her shoulders the other day.
What are these things again?
Traps.
Traps.
Yeah, good traps. Traps on that woman. Traps heavy. Jesus. She's a fitness fanatic. I saw her shoulders the other day. What are these things again? Traps. Traps. Yeah, good traps.
Traps on that woman.
She's hard out.
That'll be her.
Protein bars.
I might go and hoon one.
Yeah.
Unless Polly left some behind.
Oh, she might have.
Oh, no.
It was the new wrap of the Musashi's.
Oh, right.
It was the new look Musashi bar.
That's post Polly.
That's okay.
PP we call that.
Yeah, PP.
Post Polly.
Anyway, there's a new dating term called monkey barring.
Now, I've been afraid of monkey bars since I broke my arm on them
when I was nine, maybe?
I was always jealous of all the –
it was mostly the girls that could do the spinny things.
Yeah, I'm so good at spinning.
In the jungle gyms?
Not so good at the forward one,
but the backward single leg I could just keep going on all break long. Wow. I tried it good at spinning. In the jungle gyms? Yeah. Not so good at the forward one, but the backward single leg, I could just keep going on all break long.
Wow.
Yeah.
I tried it recently.
Yeah.
When we were in Christchurch, I saw a monkey bar.
Do you remember?
And I was like, I'm going to have a little go.
I got stuck halfway.
It's embarrassing.
Fletch had to sort of counterweight me.
Oh, hold you around.
You couldn't do a full cycle.
They do have them now because you were on them.
No, but that was like a single bar, but they don't have, you know, like the jungle gyms that you would have.
Yeah.
With the like bars along the bottom and then the bars along the top.
The monkey bars you're more likely to find either at a playground or a gym.
A gymnasium.
Gym, that's like a strength exercise, isn't it?
It is.
It is.
Anyway, I'm not talking about the real monkey bars.
This is a dating term, meaning you're jumping from one bar to the next,
but you still always hold on to both bars.
Now, that's how I broke my arm is I tried to go from one bar to the next
and I let go before grabbing the next one.
So for a relationship example, you've got one hand on your boyfriend
or your husband.
Yeah, and one hand on probably just more of a dating thing.
Probably not your husband.
That's called cheating.
Oh, yeah.
Cheating barring.
Oh, yeah, right, okay.
This is if you're, like, dating, you're going,
oh, okay, I'm dating you, and I'm not quite sure,
so I'll date someone else, but I'm not going to let you go
because I might break my arm.
But you only let them go when you're sure you've got a good grip
on the next one, is it?
On the next one.
And then you are looking for the next thing to grab along to.
Always looking.
So you've always got somebody ready to go.
Yeah, and they're sort of saying that this is probably not the most healthy way to date.
Because you're never really fully giving one bar your full weight.
That was good, but I just did.
Two hands on one bar is what you're saying.
Put both hands on the bar.
Yeah. Okay. And give it your saying. Put both hands on the bar. Yeah.
Okay.
And give it your all.
And give it your absolute best.
Don't half.
Don't monkey bar.
Yeah.
That's a good analogy.
Don't half.
I like monkey barring.
Some of these dating terms I find it to be a bit silly.
But that you approve of this one.
I approve.
This is Sproul approved.
Okay.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley on the bustling ZM think tank.
This is the top six.
Yes, good morning.
Today's top six are dealing with the facts scientists have said.
Well, we can do it.
Should we do it?
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
Should we bring back the woolly mammoth?
I feel like of all the things we should bring back,
that's going, like, straight to 100.
But it's also, like, a fairly recent extinction
in the terms of things.
Like, when the pyramids were built,
there were still mammoths, you know?
Yeah, I remember them from when I was a kid.
Yeah, I remember them being around.
Yeah.
I remember them being on TV.
They also want to bring back the dodo I read this week. Do they? Yeah. Well, there's number six on the list. Oh. Yeah. They also want to bring back the dodo I read this week. Do they? Yeah.
Well, there's number six on the list. Oh.
Yeah. Well. I didn't know that.
You didn't know that? Also, um,
didn't the dodo go extinct
just due to the fact it
couldn't recognise predators? Like it grew up
on an island with zero predators. It looks like a
fluffy, like, fat kiwi. It's a
big, fat goose. Like a puffin.
With, uh, with kiwi. It's a big, fat goose. Like a puffin. With a hooked beak.
Very unusual bird.
I'm looking at it now.
I don't know that we need this.
Fascinating.
So this is a gene editing company.
Yeah.
That's like, we can do this.
But have they not seen any of the Jurassic Park?
I don't think they have.
That is the correct plural of Jurassic Park.
Thank you.
Is that why we just bring back a dodo?
Because it's not as threatening as a T-Rex.
And even then, a mammoth, that's just a woolly elephant.
Yeah, and everyone would be like, that's cute.
That's cool.
No, but the woolly mammoths were huge.
Yeah, I know.
But then you've opened the Pandora's box.
You've been to Orana Park?
No.
I reckon we could get a couple at Orana Park.
Yeah, that'd be lovely.
So they've got room to move.
Wouldn't you focus more on some of our native birds that we've lost?
Totally.
Let's get some of them back.
Yeah.
Is it the huia?
Is it it?
The moa.
Let's start with that.
No, we're going too big.
Too big too soon.
Good eating.
Must be big.
Yeah, that's what I reckon.
The drumsticks on that would be delicious.
Oh, massive drumettes.
Oh, the huia is beautiful.
Yeah, the huia was a beautiful bird. I think it went extinct because of its sought-after plumage. Oh, massive drummix. Oh, the hooey is beautiful. Yeah, the hooey was a beautiful bird.
I think it went extinct
because of its sought-after plumage.
Oh, beautiful plumage.
Hugely beautiful plumage.
Well, the top six things
scientists should bring back.
Number six on the list,
that was dodo's.
But that's just so we can laugh at them.
Yeah.
And should we be bringing
something back if the,
you know,
very reason is to laugh at them?
Yeah.
Humour is so important.
It is. It's important to laugh out them. Yeah. Humour is so important. It is.
It's important to laugh out loud at any time.
I've done me a little bird.
Top six things scientists should bring back,
if they can bring back the mammoth,
they should bring back tangy fruits.
Yeah.
Okay.
How do they genetically do that?
Well, you'd have to find a remnant of a tangy fruit.
The DNA of a tangy fruit.
Maybe an old theatre.
Also, did you know our mRNA and our DNA, The remnant of a tangy fruit. The DNA of a tangy fruit. Maybe an old theatre. Could be one.
Our mRNA and our DNA, the very building blocks of humanity,
have been found to be from outer space.
Brother.
We're our own aliens.
Oh, my God, brother.
Preach.
Brother.
Psalm 3-2, many are saying of me, God will not deliver him,
but you, Lord, are a shield around me.
My glory, the one
who lifts my head high.
Vaughn's got a psalm of the day.
I've got a psalm of the day going on.
Fantastic. Number four
on the list of the preach,
the top six things scientists should bring back.
Number four, the Holden Commodore.
I know it's recently gone out
of production. I think scientists should bring back
the Holden Commodore yeah but could you
West Auckland would love that
they would love that
they would love that
they do
they need this
this week after the floods
they can deal with that
number three on the list
of the top six things
scientists should bring back
number three
my childhood innocence
oh my god
long gone
long gone
I've seen too much
done too much
long gone
but it would be nice
to have it back
even for an afternoon
yeah I remember when
the most, I mean, I still love a slide.
Don't get me wrong. But remember when you'd see a slide
and you'd be like, I simply, mum,
I simply must go on that slide. This could be the greatest
moment of my life. Pause the day. Yeah.
Stop the car. There's a slide. Remember how
excited you were to be an adult as well? And now
it's here and you're like, ooh. Just so draining.
Just so, so draining.
Yeah. And just like so much admin.
God, the admin.
Just bullshit amounts of admin.
Adulting sucks.
It's the worst.
Still young forever.
Top six things scientists should bring back.
Number two on the list, S Club 7.
Yeah.
Scientists should put their heads together to bring us back S Club 7.
Well, they toured for a bit as S Club,
and I believe they got down to about three members.
Yeah, there was S Club 7, then S Club 7 became S Club 5,
and then S Club 5 became S Club, which was three.
Oh, well, the scientists could just give us four more.
Give us four more of the ones that don't want to play,
clone them, get them back in the face.
Maybe the Spice Girls could do that as well.
No, the Spice Girls are back, man.
Nah, but Posh never wants a bar of it.
No, but aren't they going to play at King Charles
Coronation? Yeah, I think we might get a full...
Vicky B's going to get in there. Yeah, but I'm thinking if we want a full
tour, we're going to need a
Victoria Beckham clone. Yeah, we could
do that. Because she won't tour. And it doesn't
take much. She did too well with her investments.
The others have... Investments, her businesses.
Yeah.
Well, she's invested in herself, you know,
and that's the most important thing.
Yeah.
Preach.
Yeah, it was like they said in Ephesians.
Carry on to eight.
No.
Stop it.
Keep your thumbs to yourself, please.
Our number one on the list of the top six things
scientists should bring back.
Number one on the list, the McRib.
If anyone can do it, it's scientists.
It's scientists.
I'm pretty sure you could talk to the show's sponsor.
Yeah.
It'll be coming.
Can we have that much sway?
Gather around and let Grandad tell you about the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta
where McDonald's released the Olympic McRib.
And beautiful.
And they also
released it in the
1990s for the
Flintstones movie.
I remember that.
The John Woodman
Fred Flintstones.
The best live
action Flintstones
movie.
He was a, they
released the McRib
for the Flintstones
movie as well.
So scientists,
there's your
homework.
Get cracking.
You've got all
weekend.
That's today's top six.
Now, producer Chanelette Pyjamas,
is that her birth name?
Or have we, I get confused.
No, her birth name's Shannon
and we're trialling out these new nicknames.
Oh, right, that's right.
Chanelette Pyjamas.
It's kind of stuck.
Now she
revealed to us
something that she has been doing wrong
her whole life.
We cross to her now. Shannon,
why are you washing your hair
upside down? I honestly thought
that everyone did this and I only just
realised about two days ago that they didn't.
But maybe a few years ago I was watching
beauty YouTubers when that was a big thing
and they suggested that you wash your
hair upside down for two main reasons.
One, it can help stimulate
hair growth because you're
sending more blood to your head.
You're preaching to the choir here. Wait, do you mean
when you say wash your hair
upside down. So she hangs upside
down. Oh, I thought you meant she started at like the bottom of the hair,
like rubbing in the shampoo and then got to the scalp.
I kind of, if you imagine stapling yourself,
like I kind of bend in half.
Yeah.
And then, yeah, so it stimulates hair growth.
God, imagine walking into the bathroom and Shannon's washing her hair.
Shannon, oh my God.
The other reason I do it
is because when you do conditioner,
you know, women will know,
you have to put it
on the ends of your hair.
But if you do it-
I just want to stop you there
and say men should be conditioning too.
Sorry, I just mean
when you've got extremely long hair.
Well, men can have long hair too.
Are we cancelling
chandelier pajamas?
Is that what's happening now?
My fiance has extremely long hair.
She just said- Jesus, andcé has extremely long hair. Jesus and
your fiancé have long hair.
Yeah. Cancel. She just said men
shouldn't have long hair and women should stay at home
while men earn money and women
should just be baby factories. That's what I heard.
I think we might need an on-air apology.
She said she regrets women never getting the vote or the
ability to drive. I know. I can't believe how
shockingly chauvinistic
she is. On-air apology please Chandelier. I'm very I can't believe how shockingly chauvinistic she is. Honour your apology please
Shanley. I'm very sorry.
Okay, not cancelled. It didn't
sound sincere. It wasn't sincere but it's alright, we're gonna
move on. So you're bent
over in half. Yes, and so you're putting
conditioners on the ends of your hair.
If you do it just standing up, I feel like you're
not getting the true ends of your hair because the top
layer, you're only getting the bottom
half of the ends if you know what I mean.
Shannon, it's so simple. You just
touch it at the bottom
but you're standing upright.
I don't know. It's so much easier.
Isn't that the idea? You leave the conditioner in for a bit and it kind of
gravity will do the hard yards there.
Absolutely. I'll stand back up while I wait
for it to set in and then I flip back down to
wash it out.
Doesn't it get in your eyes?
No, no, no, I'm a pro now.
How many times have you fallen over?
Oh, never.
Because I've had vertigo, and when I flip up quite quickly,
at a moment's notice, I could topple.
I do have cold showers as well.
I don't like hot water in the shower.
Yeah, we'll have a cold shower.
Even in winter?
Yes, yep, cold only.
So you'll be in winter, bent over,
upside down,
upside down shampooing.
Going
under the water.
Oh, that's weird, isn't it? I hate to say it, Shannon,
you're just doing it wrong.
I don't know. Can you give it a go for me and tell
me your review? I don't wash my
hair. Oh.
I let the natural oils. No, I do, I do. I my hair. Oh. I let the natural oils.
No, I do, I do.
I wash it too much.
I'm open to the idea.
I reckon you give it a go and report back next week.
It just doesn't seem worth it.
It's like...
I just feel like the soap gets everywhere.
I'm upside down.
I'm lost.
I get really dizzy when I'm upside down.
Same.
I also don't have hair, so this is a problem.
But do you scrub your head?
Yes, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Vaughan But do you scrub your head? Yes, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
Vaughan, do you scrub your head?
Yeah, I wash my head.
Yeah.
I don't scrub it, but I'll just face wash all the head.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, same.
Yeah, you've got to exfoliate with the little microbeads
all the way to the back of the neck.
Are they the ones that end up in the fish, the plastic?
Yeah, delicious.
I don't use those.
Just the most delicious little beads.
Okay, Shannon, I'm not poo-pooing the idea.
Well, upside down, Carween's poo-pooing.
She's sitting here poo-pooing.
You're in a minority here, yeah.
It's odd.
It's odd.
It is a bit odd.
It's odd.
It's odd.
That's okay.
I can accept that.
Odd.
She's odd, isn't she?
Odd.
Chanelette.
Play. ZM's Flet't she? Odd. Chanelette. Today's Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole Silly Little Pole
Today's Silly Little Pole.
Where do you like to do your makeup?
Now, we only gave three options.
The floor, a desk or a vanity.
Yeah.
Or the bathroom.
Was the car an option?
Yeah.
I don't think we should be encouraging that.
No.
Once a day I'll see a chick in the little rear view mirror
or in the little fold down, flip down thing
doing a mascara. A Russian mascara.
I've done a whole face in the car
and turned up looking great somewhere.
What's the floor? Oh my god, the floor
is the best. Cross legs sit on the floor.
This is what I did yesterday for Ed Sheeran.
Carween used
Oh no, Carween was on the floor as well. We both did the floor.
And you sprawl out your kit
In front
And you've got a little mirror
And you sit in front of it
And you just sort of
Tush her away
The floor's the best
The floor
I love the floor
Not in a hotel
I like lying on the floor
But I'm not a big floor sitter
No
Oh I'm a big floor sitter
I don't have the back
Or the loose
The loose hammies for it
Yeah
I'm very tightly strung
In the hand
Oh my god
So tightly Absolute banjo string.
So the floor lost.
17%. But that's still quite a
large number.
With desk or vanity at
20%, 63% of people in the
bathroom. It's convenient.
Which isn't vanity anyway, right?
I think of vanity you mean
more like a little
in your bedroom vanity. Or maybe in your Anyway, right? Yeah, but I think of vanity you mean more like a little like...
In your bedroom.
Like your old in your bedroom vanity.
Yeah, right, okay.
Or maybe in your ginormous walk-in wardrobe if you're a Kardashian.
Yeah.
Some feedback.
Charlotte, she says, because I've got a full...
She's got a full makeup desk.
She's vanity.
Oh, wow, okay.
Set up in the spare room.
And I can listen to the FVH podcast while I get ready.
Oh, that's lovely. Stop can listen to the FVH podcast while I get ready. Oh, that's lovely.
Stop sucking up to these FVH.
It's available on the iHeartRadio app anywhere at any time.
You can stream the show live as well.
Wherever you are, we can be with you.
Yeah.
Gel says, ooh, not the bathroom.
You'll get water in your eyeshadow palette.
Oh.
Now you can.
You have a splashage.
Okay.
And that would turn it into an eye sort of
cream
a cream based shadow
and we can't be having that.
Courtney says
I sit and do mine
in bed
with a small makeup mirror
because my alarm
goes off at 5am.
Must be nice.
Must be nice.
And I'm a lazy bee.
But you'll get dust
you'll get the dust
and the particles and the little powders and stuff all through your...
And that would stain your sheets, wouldn't it?
It would stain the sheets.
Yeah, unless they're black satin.
It would still stain the black satin.
He had black satin sheets.
No, I didn't have black satin sheets.
I had purple satin sheets.
Oh, my gosh.
Why?
Gross, eh?
Gross.
Yeah, Hayley, was 2001.
The World Trade Centre had toppled in front of the world's eyes
and we felt like we were on the precipice of the end of humanity.
No more could we take a big toothpaste through the airport.
Absolutely not.
Those days were numbered.
On his double beard and his Glenfield-based all-lad flat,
one Vaughan Smith had purple satin sheets and the ladies loved
them. No, they don't, because I
remember my parents,
around about the same time when I was 11
years old, my parents
got gifted a set of satin sheets and
they hated them because my mum's
feet would scratch against them.
And then I, so they gave them to me,
which honestly feels a bit like
gross. And I remember that.
All your rough bits of your skin go like.
Oh, no, yuck, yuck.
And the little toenails and stuff, those are the sheets.
I took them off the bed for the final time when a girl I was seeing.
Yeah.
Haunting.
Had a cigarette in bed and dropped the cigarette.
Now, I didn't know she was having a cigarette in bed.
But I woke up to her having a cigarette in bed I woke up to her
Having a cigarette in bed
And I said
Oh this is
Menthol
This is high class stuff
Yeah
This is high class stuff
Wow
Glenfield ladies and gentlemen
Yeah
Glenfield on the north shore of Auckland
And that woman's name
Was Sade
Okay enough about
Gross satin sheets
Danny says
If by vanity you mean A bookcase with a mirror Propped up in the corner where I stand up and do my makeup, then yes.
Yes, yeah.
You've got to work with what you've got.
April says, I feel ill at the moment at the idea of people saying they like to do it in the bathroom.
How many of you actually have the space?
What?
Oh, yeah, because some people have the tiny bathrooms.
Well, you have to share, so you don't want to leave all your stuff everywhere.
Apparently, you shouldn't keep your makeup in the bathroom because of the humidity.
Oh.
Gianna says, I used to have a desk with my makeup laid out on it.
Oh, God, so nice.
But I decided having a large makeup bag is better.
Now I just put it on the floor.
Yeah.
With a small mirror.
And finally, Edna says she voted for
the floor.
Oh, lighting is so much better. Oh, maybe
window. Yeah, right.
Natural lighting.
There you go.
So there's been another major study into
the use of
masks and how it prevents viruses such as COVID-19
yes and they found it made no difference however right there's been so many studies that say the
the the other way you know and it doesn't hurt wait so a new study is saying masks do nothing
yeah but that's one like who did that study?
Sunblock people that are like, you've got to put this on your face.
You know what I mean?
You're saying they're not getting enough sunblock on people's faces.
Yeah, because like I don't sunblock this bit.
Yeah.
You're trying to discredit it, I reckon.
Yeah, okay.
But obviously it's your choice to still wear a mask.
We were at the airport yesterday and so many people are still wearing them. Yeah.
You've been wearing one because you've got like weddings coming up and events and you're going to be.
Birthday month.
Yeah.
It's a full month, the February month.
Yeah, we can't have it.
Yeah.
So you went to a concert last night with 48,000 people.
I know.
It's a flawed plan.
It's a flawed plan.
Come on.
He was in a corporate box.
I didn't get too close to anybody and it was quite open.
Exactly.
I was in a corporate box.
Rich people
don't suffer.
Yeah.
Don't they?
Okay.
The crowded
village peasants.
You're losing
touch.
He's a man of
the people.
Oh man,
I love hot dogs.
There you go.
He's back.
He's back.
I think they
had them down
there, yeah.
I think they
had them down
there.
We had braised beef cheeks.
Did they have hot dogs down in there?
I had it with my fingers because I couldn't find a fork.
That's the traditional way.
We all looked very out of place in a corporate box, let me tell you.
We did.
I think somebody looked at me in my Birkin socks and shorts and were like,
ooh.
Ooh, dress up.
How did he get in here?
I was like, good point.
I ordered my first wine and immediately knocked it over,
and the woman at the bar was like, ugh. Yeah, you're like, how much for this? And they're like, oh, no, it's free. And I was like, good point. I ordered my first wine and immediately knocked it over and the woman at the bar was like,
ugh. Yeah, you're like, how much for this?
And they're like, oh no, it's free. And you're like, eight.
We'll be down with the hot dogs next time
because we won't be invited back.
Anyway, whatever reason you're still wearing a mask,
there has been some surveying
done as to the reasons why people
are continuing to wear them. And there is another reason.
They call it
mask attractiveness belief. And there is another reason. They call it mask attractiveness belief.
And there is a group of people that perhaps don't consider themselves as being attractive.
Right.
And they believe that by wearing a mask, it makes them more attractive.
Oh, because you can see less of their ugly face.
Yeah, so you just sort of this kind of, it's a scheme field.
This whole study just sounds wild.
Masks do nothing and only ugly people wear them.
Who conducted this study?
Yes, we need to know.
Also, this is a ski field phenomenon where everybody has the goggles,
the beanies or all the ski gear.
The face cover.
And you can't see their face, but they look attractive.
I definitely enjoyed it for like when you've got a pimple
or like dry lips or something or you're just not wearing any makeup.
I loved it for that very reason that you could cover it.
So who did you find out who conducted this?
Hang on, I'm searching, I'm searching.
There's been three studies.
Okay.
Oh my God.
So because it hides a lot of your face, people...
The report was published in Frontiers in Psychology.
So it's like a mental state of mind.
Right.
Not by a brand who wants, you know, like a lip balm brand.
Yeah, who wants more people lip balming.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, that's not why.
I mean, you wore a mask there.
You didn't wear a mask yesterday.
And I mean, let's just say you're absolutely free to choose
and do whatever you want.
Of course.
Yeah, we're not having to go out with people that choose to wear masks.
I think we should more.
Yeah, I think so too.
And if it's going to get COVID anywhere on this trip, it'll be in the small basement broadcast booth that we're not having to go out with people that choose to wear masks. I think we should more. Yeah, I think so too. And if it's going to get COVID anywhere on this trip,
it'll be in the small basement broadcast booth that we're in at the moment
with a wet floor and zero fresh air coming in.
No ventilation.
Zero ventilation.
Sort of dripping on each other.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I kind of get it.
There was something sort of freeing with wearing a mask
to hide your ugly face. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There was something sort of freeing with wearing a mask.
To hide your ugly face.
Today, we will be ranking, as we always do on Friday, our favourite jams.
Jams today.
Shakira, jams in the news.
Jam trending this week. Jams as in your preserves.
Yes.
Not your bangers.
Not your Friday jams.
Shakira has a jam.
Now, did Shakira the singer make this jam?
Was it her homemade jam or did she purchase it?
It was a homemade jam that she had made.
I believe it was strawberry.
Yes, it was.
Have I been meant to believe correctly?
You're correct.
And then that's how she found out that her partner was cheating on her
because the jam was so heavily used and her partner and the kids don't like jam.
And she said, who's been eating the jam?
Who's been eating, yeah.
Wow.
Previously stated, didn't they, that they didn't have time for her jam.
Ain't got no time for your jam, Shakita.
And so when it was eaten,
she knew it was the
other woman.
So let's do jams this way.
I would like to
not put marmalade
on the table.
I think it just brings in
a whole...
Are you saying
that's not a jam?
Marmalade is not jam.
Otherwise it would be called
spicy peppery jam.
It's a preserve.
It'd be called marma jam.
Marma jam.
I love marmalade.
No, marmalade not included. And Paddington beer. I've gone on the Anathoth website. Oh, that's a jam. It's a preserve. It'd be called marma jam. Marma jam. I love marmalade. No, marmalade not included.
And Paddington beer.
I've gone on the Anathoth website.
Oh, that's good jam.
Is that Nelson?
I believe is it Nelson?
We can go with that.
They do a great chutney and a relish too.
And a great lemon curd.
Yeah.
So on their website under jams, anathoth.co.nz forward slash jam.
Apricot.
Could you have gone to Craig's just to be more of the people?
He's on Craig's.
Oh, okay.
Oh, you're on Craig's.
It was a...
Because he's trying now to be a man of the people.
Yeah.
After his corporate box yarn.
Yeah, he's been in a corporate box, so he's lost touch.
Yes.
Anathoth has apricot, blackberry, blackcurrant, boysenberry, plum, raspberry, rhubarb and
redberry. We're not including that. We're just going classic jams.
Yeah. Strawberry and threeberry.
Oh, threeberry.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll start. It's pretty easy. I'm always
raspberry and strawberry.
No, you've got to rank them. Raspberry
can be quite
seedy. Raspberry's got seeds and the seeds
get stuck in my teeth. Yeah, which is the only issue.
I'd probably go raspberry number one.
Strawberry number two.
And then maybe a blackcurrant or a blackberry.
Yeah.
That would be yum.
I just find strawberry is so childish.
Excuse me.
It's a baby's jam.
It makes sense that he would like it.
It's introductory jam.
It's basic bitch jam.
It's basic bitch jam.
And that's why he absolutely loves it. That's why I lap it up.
Yeah, okay. So you've gone raspberry,
strawberry, but you need to have
a specific jam for your third jam.
Blackberry? Boysenberry? Don't just blackberry
with blackcurrant me. Oh no,
not a boysenberry. What about threeberry?
Yeah, that's no.
Let's leave that out for the purpose of
threeberry jam's too many. Maybe a blackcurrant.
No, threeberry jam's very common. Yes, it's not common. What are the threeberries... Three-beer jam's too many. Maybe a black currant. No, three-beer jam's very common.
Yes, it's not common.
What are the three berries?
Right out of touch.
You've been in the corporate box too long.
I'm out of touch.
Most people don't have a three-jam jam.
Three-beer jam.
A three-beer jam.
What's your third jam?
Black currant.
Okay.
It's a good jam.
Vaughan.
Crossing the Vaughan.
Rank your top jams.
Vaughan.
One.
Apricot.
One. Apricot. I would say that's. Vorn. One. Apricot. One.
Apricot.
I would say that's basic, bitch.
No, apricot is superior.
Two.
Red plum jam.
I forgot about plum jam.
Two, yeah.
Never, ever forget about red plum jam.
Can I change my third?
No, you're locked in.
It's on the paper.
Oh, no.
Sometimes you're so Bradley Walsh.
Now you're stuck.
Now you're stuck with strawberry jam.
And my third is controversial, but it's blackberry jam.
Delicious.
Okay.
Because I like blackberries better than raspberries.
Yeah, okay.
Interesting.
I don't always.
We've got nothing in common, you and I.
So this is really going to come down to what's sprouled.
Yeah.
Because I've hit points this week.
Yeah.
Oh, Fletch.
I don't often agree with Vaughan on these things.
However,
number one,
apricot.
Apricot.
And I tell you what,
slice some tasty cheese
on top of that,
you're cooking.
That's like my childhood
is apricot jam and cheese,
thanks to my father.
Number two,
are you giving a mention
for boysenberry?
Are we all anti-boysenberry?
I'm anti-boysenberry. I'm not anti-boysenberry? I'm anti-boysenberry.
I'm not anti-boysenberry.
Number two, I'm going raspberry because it's just like every now and then you just need a classic jam.
Yeah.
Number three, I'm hitting plum.
Red plum.
Okay.
I'm going plum.
See, I would have changed to plum.
So apricot wins.
Yeah.
And then raspberry.
Yes, good.
And then red Plum.
So basically Sproul's Order is the final rankings.
Yeah.
So I'm the voice of the people.
You're the voice of the people.
Oh, I've spoken.
Even though you were in a corporate box last night,
you're very relatable.
I know, so relatable.
I'm just going to check the-
When can we just talk about rich people's jams?
Your Cape Berry jams, your Gooseberry jams.
You what?
I've never heard of those.
Oh my God, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Now-
Feejoa Jam. I Now- Feejoa jam.
I do make Feejoa jam.
That slaps.
Yes, you do.
That slaps.
Yes.
I'm just checking the messages to see where people are at.
Okay.
Someone said, can I back it up, please?
Oh, yeah.
Because a three berry jam is common and should be an option.
Is it?
Now, I was an advocate for the three berry on the list.
That could have been somebody next door at another corporate box.
Yeah, that has actually come in from Christopher Luxon.
Oh, yeah.
Someone said, can I submit my granny's homemade Fijoa jam?
You get it.
Yes, Fijoa jam.
Fijoa jam's yum.
I do it.
There's a lot of sugar and it's a lot of work, but it's a great jam.
Black Doris plum jam, somebody said.
Yeah, that'd be delicious.
Someone else has said the three berry jam is the jam of the people.
It's the people's jam.
Yeah.
Somebody's asked if hazelnut jam, Nutella, is...
Are we accepting that?
No, that's not.
We're not accepting hazelnut jam.
Oh, that's number one.
It goes Nutella, then apricot jam.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey.
Play ZM.
But a couple of casualties.
Yeah.
From last night's festivities.
I bought some hot dad New Balance shoes
at a New Balance outlet store for $40.
Wow.
That's such a deal.
I thought I'd get myself two pairs.
Now, the first pair,
and I kept one in the box
and put it in the back of the wardrobe.
It's always good when you get a deal like that
to have a backup.
Yeah.
Because I like them and then
the first pair broke a little
while ago and... How long
after you bought them? Not too many kilometres.
Yeah, okay. And then so
the reserve pair got bought out
and yesterday
just, God, I think I got, my watch
ran out of batteries, my Apple watch
but I think prior to that I'd done 23,000
steps. In a day.
Yeah.
Dude, we walked so much.
Yeah, we did a lot of walking.
And you did a bit of a run.
Yeah, I went for a run.
For our fitness.
But the soles came off.
The soles come off.
It's a glue-based issue, I believe.
Yeah.
It's exactly the same thing that's happened to the other extremely cheap pair of foam-based shoes.
It's the foam.
It's almost like $40 wasn't quite enough.
It wasn't.
It's at that stage you're like,
okay, maybe if I'd spent $120,
I would have got three times the usage out of them.
But then, you know, that's not the sort of math.
That's not how I roll.
So today I'm going to be looking for a glue stick.
Oh, my God.
You know, you need more than a bloody glue stick.
I'll buy some F2 glue, shoe glue and then I'll have
a little sniff and put it in my bag for later.
Now this may shock you but
I know we all hold our Auckland
cobblers dear to our hearts. Yes.
I've got a Wellington cobbler. You've got a Wellington cobbler?
You know a Wellington cobbler? Yeah he's on Dixon Street
and Wellingtonians will go the cobbler
on Dixon. The cobbler. The cobbler on Dixon.
The cobbler, any cobbler anywhere
any shoe repair is still going to laugh when when a man brings in a $40?
Because they do look like they're neither good.
It's going to cost me more to get the shoe fixed
than it cost me for the shoes in the first place.
Yes.
Do you know?
I would just go and buy a new pair of shoes.
It's so wasteful.
It would be insulting to take them to a cobbler.
Yeah, it would be.
Because he'd just be like,
I'm going to spend an hour on these.
Yeah, like he's used to crafting
and fixing leather.
Leather, good stitching.
The stitch, the glue, the re-sew.
Don't take your NBs there.
But then I feel like, I can't put them in the bin,
the left one's fine. Well, if you see a man
walking around central Wellington today with duct
tape on his shoe, that's Vaughan.
I found some electrical tape
in a Wellington studio.
Okay, so it's red electrical tape.
That will be Vaughan.
That's me.
Did you bring other shoes down?
Because you're off to a stag do.
I bought boots.
Okay.
Oh, well, that's good.
Then you've got those.
It's too hot for a boot.
Well, you're going to have
to get some new ones,
but not the only
you cancelled yesterday.
Oh, I know.
Well, speaking of running,
you went for a run
and I hadn't.
And so we took the opportunity yesterday when we were leaving the stadium.
Which, by the way, last night's show, 48,000 people.
48,000.
Record-breaking.
So more than an All Blacks game because you've got to take the field out
during an All Blacks game or a sports game.
Has Wellington Phoenix had that many people?
Well, no, again, you can't have that many people on the field.
Yeah, I think.
So Eminem was the closest.
He held the previous record 46,500.
Yeah.
Or 47,500.
No, 46,500.
And then last night, 48,000 was the record.
Yeah, it was incredible.
So 48,000 people all left the stadium at the same time, including us.
That was carnage.
And the four of us were like, we ain't having it.
We want to get out of here.
I needed to be in bed.
So we started darting, didn't we?
Speedwalking, yeah.
Speedwalking, zip, zip, zip, in and out of the crowd.
If listeners know, but Vaughan and I both represented
the Commonwealth Games at walking.
I didn't know that, but I could see it in your hips.
Yeah.
I could see it in the hips.
It's all in the hips.
Well, I had to call Vaughan out for running.
No, your feet left the ground at the same time. I'm very, I'm fastidious with the hips. It's all in the hips. Well, I had to call Vaughn out for running. No, your feet left the ground at the
same time. I'm very
fastidious with the rules. You're a stickler
for the rules. Yeah. But there was
a point where you were running, Hayley. Yeah, and I
was using my arms in a chopping motion to
sort of slice through the crowd. Kind of
think Kath and Kim when Kath and
Cal Day and I go for a
power walk. And I
had just the day before bought a new
Apple Watch strap
because of my eczema.
It was annoying me. The classic one
that's more secure.
So I got, I spent
$10 on it and it's got magnets
and they're just sort of magnet on
so it can be a little bit looser. So as I
chopped, it came flying
off my wrist and just like landed on the concrete and I a little bit looser. So as I chopped, it came flying off my wrist and just like
landed on the concrete and I thought,
it's fine. I'm having fun with my friends
leaving the concert. And I went and picked it up and I was like,
oh my god.
It's actually shattered. It's shattered into pieces.
Shattered like a fine china
on concrete. I know a good cobbler.
Do you reckon the cobbler would sort this out for me?
I don't know if that's a zero of expertise.
A watch cobbler. A watch cobbler? Notice don't know if that's a zero of expertise. A watch cobbler.
A watch cobbler.
It was just after this we met a lovely young lady called Molly.
Oh, Molly.
Bless Molly.
Bless Molly.
She was very lovely.
I don't know because Molly's friends didn't look like they'd been drinking.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Molly was very emotional.
She was crying and she said to us,
I'm one of the heroes to her. I didn't want to say it, but she was crying and she said to us, she's one of the heroes to her.
I didn't want to say it, but she was crying
and she said, can I ask one
question? And it was like,
she was very emotional and we're like, what is this
possibly going to be? Like a donation to charity
or us to come and speak at some event?
Yeah. No, she said, can
I pretend to be one of the
Christmas orphans?
And then proceeded to Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Fletcher.
And then it turns out she wants Mr. Fletcher to walk her down the aisle
because she's getting married.
Because she's an orphan?
She's getting married.
Fletcher was standing there like, no, no, come on, guys.
Let's not do this.
And she was like, please, Mr. Fletcher.
Mr. Fletcher, please.
Can I please be one?
So we've got a third orphan.
And I had banned the Christmas orphans until at least December.
Well, we were presuming them dead.
Yeah.
Or missing.
Yeah, no, but it ended terribly.
Oh, my God, I didn't know.
I'm so sorry to break this news, but they're actually alive and well.
And Molly, yes, Fletcher will walk you down that aisle.
As grumpy Mr Fletcher.
Let's check dates. We've got a lot of things coming aisle. As grumpy Mr. Fletcher. Let's check dates.
We've got a lot of things coming up.
We'll cross the calendars.
Sure.
There is a millionaire called Graham Wilden.
Now, I wanted to look at how he became a millionaire,
just out of interest.
Right, this is in the UK, isn't it?
It is in the United Kingdom.
Okay.
Millenia, accountant.
Oh.
He's fiddling the books.
He's fiddling the books.
He's giving the books a big old fiddle.
He's an accountant.
Anyway, he has built, and he's 70 years old.
He illegally built Britain's best man cave.
Oh, okay.
And he went to prison for it.
What?
He went to prison for the man cave?
Yeah.
He was sent to prison for six weeks over his 10,000 square foot man cave.
How many square metres is that?
That's like bigger than most apartments.
I'll take care of that.
Comprising of a bowling alley,
a full cinema,
squash courts, private casino
and bar, which is an extension
to his actual house.
So is this underground?
It looks like it.
It does look like it.
So he just dug up his backyard illegally.
You said that it's bigger than most apartments.
It's 929 square metres.
It's a quarter acre section. Wow, okay, that's bigger than most apartments. It's 929 square metres. Oh my God.
It's a quarter acre section.
That's a quarter acre.
Wow.
Okay.
That's humongous.
It's a quarter acre, just the building.
How did he do this in the UK?
He must have lived out of the city a bit.
Yeah, totally. Because that's a lot of land.
So he, it's in Gloucester.
Okay.
In Gloucester, so countryside-ish.
So he got no planning, no consent, no planning permission to do any of this.
And then, I don't know how he got caught with it,
but they came over and said, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't just build a thousand square meter.
Man cave.
Is it underground?
It's a property.
Maybe.
I'm asking.
Or just a big shed.
I'm not sure.
I think it's adjacent, but it looks, the roof's quite low in some areas.
It must be multiple stories.
Because if you've got a bowling alley like this, you have to.
That to me is a mansion, not a man cave.
I know.
Well, when you're a millionaire.
So he got threatened with a 300,000 pound fine, so like $600,000,
if he didn't tear it down.
Like it had to go, not retrospectively get consent.
It had to go.
And he didn't.
And so they arrested him and he served six weeks in prison. not retrospectively get consent. It had to all go. And he didn't.
And so they arrested him and he served six weeks in prison.
That's such an accountant's way of looking at it.
Now, six weeks in prison,
that's six weeks of my time.
That's 500,000, 50,000 pounds a week.
Yes.
But I'm going to be fed
so you can take food out of that budget.
I can probably turn off the whole water cylinder
so power will be down.
Can the council not just demand it's torn
down? Yeah, they have.
When they released him after six weeks in prison,
18 weeks, he was given 18
weeks to get rid of it.
He hasn't still. Oh, wow.
They said that removal vans have been spotted
and all this, but I think they think it's just all a ruse
so he can keep this man cave.
What a man cave. It's insane.
You've got your shed. You've got your new garden shed,
Vaughan. It's not a garden shed,
mate. It's a bloody garage.
It's a big garden. It's 161
square metres full of
junk already and I've got to move stuff
around and I still need to get some shelving.
But you love your shed, don't you?
You love your garage. But I do
want to build, at some some stage a hidden bunker.
Is that because of the latest episode of The Last of Us?
Sure, yes, yes, yes, sure.
But I've always wanted a secret underground bunker with a secret entrance.
That would be so cool.
Kind of like a panic room and off the plans.
Panic room, of course, if it's going to be off the plans,
it can't be consented.
Sometimes I feel like I need a panic room. I'm a pan Panic room of course, if it's going to be off the plans, it can't be consented. Yeah. Sometimes I feel like I need
a panic room. I'm a panicker.
You need an anxiety bunker.
Anxiety. Yeah, I think your
anxiety bunker's a bit different than a panic room.
It's just like soft and it's quiet
and there's wine. There's nice low light
wine and always
Thai spa music. Yeah, and
heavy weighted things. Anyway,
a very impressive man cave.
But we hear about these man caves all the time,
these men caves, is that the plural?
These men caves.
Yes, yeah.
We want to know about your she shed.
We want to know about your Lady Lear.
The hen den, I think somebody said they called.
I reject men calling.
Don't hen me.
So do you mean like what room have you got set up?
Maybe it doesn't have to be a thousand square foot illegal construction,
but maybe you've got a room in the house that is just your little haven.
It's your she shed.
Your she shed.
What's in it?
Your lady cave.
Don't say lady cave.
It's nearly eight o'clock.
Don't say.
There's kids in the car.
I'm so sorry.
Kids are getting in the car.
Mummy, what's a lady cave?
Do I have a lady cave?
Now I'm going to explain that to my...
How am I going to explain this to my children?
Well, it's like a man cave, except it's for ladies and their things.
Oh, perfect.
Well, thank you very much for explaining that to my children.
I should have been capable of that.
I am a parent.
I should be.
You're the only parent in this room.
I am.
Anyway, but maybe you have a she shed or a lady cave or a chick chateau.
What's in it?
Big or small?
Because a lot of people have these rooms dedicated for hobbies.
Like they might collect pens and they've just got.
As mine went straight to pens.
And you go into the lady cave.
It's the dumbest collection ever.
If you've got a pen cave, don't ring up.
You go to Cynthia's house and she's like Would you like to come to my she cave
And see my pen collection
Boy oh boy
I've got one of those
Four coloured ones
Oh yeah baby
All the ink cartridges
Are full on that bad boy
Sexy
Gen one
Four colour pen
Play
ZM's
Fletch
Vaughn
And Hayley
The man that's in the news
For his man cave
Oh my god
The legal
1000 square foot man cave with a bowling alley,
has got us talking about man caves, but the opposite.
Lady caves.
Lady caves.
Stop it.
Stop it with your lady caves.
She shed.
Your she shed, your hen's den.
What is in yours?
Do you have one?
Your fee barn?
I don't know.
Fee barn?
Yeah, maybe.
Or just a spare room.
What's it dedicated to?
Sarah has called up.
Sarah, what have you got a room or a lady cave dedicated to?
I've got a pool table, dartboard, beer fridge, table and chairs.
Yes.
This sounds like Hayley's alley because you love a pool table, don't you?
I've got a little pool table, yeah.
Yeah, no, it keeps everybody in the same bed.
There's been a lot of good nights in here.
I bet there has.
What's on the walls?
What are you decorating the walls with?
What's the decor?
Heaps of mates have given me all their old stuff from their shed,
like tui pitches, drinks, like old stuff.
Shuck them right.
Yeah, classic. What are you better at? Love a tin sign, me. pitches, drinks that, like, old stuff. Yeah, classic.
Yeah.
What are you better at, pool? Love a tin sign, me.
Yeah, same.
What are you better at, pool or darts?
Oh, to tell you the truth, I'm not that good at either of them.
I just love playing.
Yeah, perfect.
That's why you're at the beer fridge,
because you all know darts and pool get better with a couple of beers.
Yeah, but then there's the Goldilocks zone of darts and pool, eh?
Like, you have three beers, perfect, four bears, she's all over.
Same with Bear Pong.
Yeah, there's this level.
Sarah, thank you for your call.
We want to know the room, the lady cave you've got dedicated.
Alana joins us.
Alana, what's your room?
So I am a mum of three boys, so I need somewhere for me to escape.
Yeah, respect, mum.
Yeah, we have a log cabin down the back of our property
that I claimed when we moved in a year ago.
A log cabin?
Where do you live, Canada?
Is it like a consent log cabin or like authentically built?
Someone built a log cabin.
Authentically built log cabin.
That sounds like a man cave.
A man built that to get away from his wife.
Yeah, but she got her eyes on it first.
What have you got in there?
So floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on one wall.
Have you got sexy novels?
Have you got little hot, steamy novels in there?
I don't.
I am a Colleen Hoover fan, though.
Yeah.
Colleen Hoover.
Colleen Hoover.
She's hovering up.
I just had to tell you,
Colleen couldn't hear that.
Colleen Hoover,
read her on the phone, Colleen. Everyone is hovering up Colleen at the up. I just had to tell you, Colleen couldn't hear that. Colleen Hoover, read her on the phone,
Colleen.
Everyone is hovering up
Colleen at the moment.
I haven't hoovered a hoover,
but I've heard that she really
writes a sexy scene well.
I've leaned to Cole.
I'll tell you that.
She does.
And then I have a nice little corner
where I have a bar
and I have all my gin
so I can sneak down there
and have a good time.
Oh my God.
How do we get an invite?
I want an invite.
How do we get an invite
to this den of smut and gin?
Smut and gin? Smut and gin.
I know, right?
And so,
well,
my husband has a man cave
so I needed a sheet sheet.
You need a sheet sheet bag.
Yours sounds incredible.
You can mix this up
with smut teeny.
A smut teeny.
Yes.
Alana,
thank you for your call.
A couple of messages
to finish up.
Someone said,
my wife has slowly
turned my man cave
into a pottery studio
It started with
I just need a little corner
This is a thing
My daughters are making candles
And Shardé's like
It's such a mess in the kitchen
Can they have part of the shed?
I was like
No, no, no
This is how it starts
This is how it starts
That's my shed
Yeah
I'm afraid
I've got to put my foot down
That was my shed
They'll get over
This candle making thing
Honestly
I gave it two weeks
I gave it two weeks too But it's weeks too, but it's been going longer
Yeah, okay
When they start saying the money, they're going to be bloody
Oh yeah, money hooks you, doesn't it?
Money gets you in
Some other ones
Shanna here, I converted my garage into a she-shed
Had a roller door replaced with huge French doors
How very she-shed
That's very she-shed
So it gets the morning sun
I mostly drink coffee on the couch But it does have my yoga hammock French doors, how very she-shed. That's very she-shed, yeah. So it gets the morning sun.
I mostly drink coffee on the couch,
but it does have my yoga hammock, a piano.
Sorry, sorry.
A yoga hammock.
Can we go back to yoga hammock?
That's... What's a yoga hammock?
It sounds so peaceful.
It hangs from the ceiling, doesn't hit your legs in,
you go upside down and it...
Like a tissue.
...stretches the back.
Tissues.
Oh.
Like a cocoon.
Yeah, like a cocoon.
Oh.
A piano, foosball table and dartboard.
Also got a sewing machine.
Yeah.
And a couch.
I'll sit there and I'll drink a beer in the late afternoon sun as well.
Oh, my God.
These she-she's all sound fantastic.
I need a she-she.
I need a she-she right now.
Play ZM's Fletch for the Daily.
Play ZM. A late night last night for 48,000 people
here at Wellington Sky Stadium.
Ed Sheeran played.
That is the record, by the way,
for a concert going at Sky Stadium.
It beat Eminem, held the last record.
Now, Eminem also had 16 arrests at that concert.
I saw two last night.
We saw two.
We saw two last night. One of two. We saw two last night.
One of which had like eight cops carrying someone out
and they just shrouded that person.
You could barely see.
Yeah, and then they were gone.
I was like, who's getting that bloody rowdy at Ed Sheeran?
I'm beginning to think some people shouldn't drink.
You may be.
It might be a bit of a problem.
So alcohol could be a huge societal issue.
Ed Sheeran beat Eminem by about 1,500 concert goers.
Now the stage in the middle,
so that helps because...
No bad seats.
There's no bad seats.
And so many screens as well.
It's an incredible setup
if you've seen on social media.
Now there are still tickets
available for Friday and Saturday.
This is next Friday,
next Saturday
at Auckland's Eden Park.
Ticketmaster for those. It's incredible.
If you're on the fence like you said before,
100%.
We've got a wedding next weekend,
but I was saying to Sade, who I am
married to and have been for 12 years for new listeners,
this is my wife. She's very attractive.
My wife.
She's very attractive. People say, how do you do that?
And let me just tell you, it's my tackle.
Ah, is it?
Your tackle box. It's my tackle. Ah, is it? Your tackle box.
It's my tackle box.
You've got sinkers.
Sinkers, hooks, jigs.
She loves flies.
Clawfights.
The feathery ones.
The feathery ones.
Burley.
All sorts of fishing.
She loves burley.
I said, we would have totally taken the kids.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, it was two hours, and the dude didn't stop once.
I know.
Not even for a wee-wee.
Yeah.
And he's looking good, isn't he?
Looking svelte.
Yeah, he is.
He's been resting up in New Zealand.
And we said he's got a band with him for some songs.
But even then, they hardly played any.
It's all him.
It's all loop pedal and it's insane to watch.
He's incredibly talented.
Screens and everything that go with it.
It's a multimedia presentation. It's incredibly talented. Screens and everything that go with it. It's like a multimedia presentation.
It's incredible. Now we got some time with
him yesterday before the show
didn't we? We did. We were just metres
away. It was like a
press conference. So he stood
up on a microphone and then there was like a media
scrum. There was a media scrum.
I was quite excited because this would have been
kind of our first media scrum
right?
It was mine.
We've been to events, but it's not like, okay, everyone has a question.
Yeah.
It was like a COVID press conference.
It was.
It was.
Jessica back to Tova.
I know.
I was expecting Tova to be there.
I was expecting Jessica March.
Jessica March-McCoy.
And then we would have to let them go first because that's what you do.
I know, but I was standing next to Vaughan,
and Vaughan pushed his way to the front rather violently.
He was trotting on people, other journalists.
I said, man first, man first.
Yeah, women and children last.
And Vaughan got his hand on the mic and asked our first question.
Hey, when we first saw you at the Auckland Town Hall,
that was like a small, intimate venue.
Next time we caught up with you, you played Spark Arena. Now you're playing at a record-breaking 48 000 crowd in wellington what's next um i don't
know really because i sort of felt like on divide that was where it got as big as it could get so i
feel like on this tour it's more just about maintaining it and coming to play uh songs for
people that want to come and hear them but i feel like I've done my quote-unquote record
breaking tour, and now I'm just enjoying
being on tour. Back to pubs and
stuff. Well, no, but this is the thing, like, I'm really
enjoying, like, doing the warm-up shows here at the
Opera House, like, that is something that's really exciting
me now, getting back to playing small venues.
I played the Shepherds Bush Empire for my
10th anniversary of Plus, and it was, like,
the biggest buzz I'd had in such a long time,
so I think I'm going to always manage
these big venues by playing small
venues and have the excitement
because I just love playing live, it doesn't really matter where it is
tonight will be more special
than the Opera House because it's a one-off night
the staging is insane
and the production is insane and blah blah blah
and you play all the hits with fireworks and stuff like that
but it's nice to have a balance
Well if you want to scale it right back,
I just built a new garage that could...
There we go.
But again, something like that would be fun.
Well, yeah, OK, I'll check in my details and we'll sort it out.
You invited them to your shed.
Your prospects are terrible.
We're going to get a lot of hay bales.
Also, the old egg cartons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To put up on the wall.
But he has been in the country where he said...
Ed, what have you been up to for the last seven days?
I've been staying just out of Wellington in the countryside,
sort of exploring, adjusting to jet lag with my kids.
Paw Patrol and such.
Yeah, of course.
A lot of Paw Patrol when you're adjusting to jet lag.
And we also, I don't know,
I personally don't know why other journalists weren't speaking up at this time.
Because you were like holding the mic like anyone else and they were all so shy.
Oh no, you're doing such a great job.
You ask all the questions.
I said, all right, then,
what do you like about the New Zealand music scene?
I find it's kind of like any, like,
the UK's sort of the same,
and Ireland in terms of it's not, like,
massive, massive, massive like America.
So talent tends to have more opportunity
to grow and experiment.
So I find that the music in New Zealand is always, like,
really, really great and really, really interesting
because I feel like when a country's bigger,
it takes so much longer for people to get noticed and recognised,
whereas you can just be great here and be noticed.
So all the while he was answering that,
I was, like, offering the microphone to other journalists.
It was weird
they were all there
like big news organisations
but they didn't ask
any questions at this stage.
Yeah you just kept going.
Although they did say to us
we were only allowed
one question
we were just like
we'll just keep asking.
They just keep asking.
Our questions are going to be dumb.
I was like alright
I'll take care of it
and then I looked around
like I was really disappointed
in them and I asked
are there any songs
that you've written
for other people
that you wish you just kept for yourself no because I think you can always
write more songs like and I think that it's exciting to have other people sing songs that
become successful and go worldwide like yeah uh I mean songs like East Side that I did for
Benny Blanco, Khalid and Halsey like that is a song that I wouldn't have used that was a song
that me and Benny wrote and went elsewhere
or, like, Love Yourself for Bieber was a song that was, like,
on the maybe list for Divide.
And these songs go on and become massive hits
because they're sung differently
and they go to different fan base and stuff.
So I think it's good. I think it's good.
I like writing songs and I'm not sort of planning
on just, like, writing ten songs and giving up.
Like, I want to keep writing.
It's at this stage that I, as a sort of an on just like writing 10 songs and giving up. Like I want to keep writing. Amazing.
So at this stage that I, as a sort of on the spot journalist,
looked to my left, I saw Hayley
and I thought Hayley's going to get married, isn't she?
Yes, yes, yes.
And he sure loves a wedding song.
He does.
So I said if he was to play at a wedding,
what song would of course would he have to play?
Well, I think if I was playing a wedding
and I didn't play perfect,
I might get sort of laughed out of the venue.
So yeah, probably perfect and thinking out loud.
But it's interesting.
When I sort of get wedding requests,
it's usually for some album tracks like Tally Reeves Sea or Kiss Me
and stuff that weren't necessarily the big singles.
So, yeah, it's always interesting.
Of course, where would we be if, at this stage, by the way,
the journalists still were cowering in the presence of greatness?
There were big news organisations here and they didn't want to ask him anything,
so we just kept going.
One news was like,
we simply couldn't, we simply couldn't.
Just let them do it.
Just let them do it, they're great at it.
Yeah.
And I said,
how have your music and influences changed?
Well, I think music continues to just evolve
subject matter-wise,
just because you get older
and things that mattered when you were 21
don't matter as much when you're 31, I think.
And yeah, obviously I've become a father of two two wonderful little girls and i'm married and sort of settling a bit
more so you know your subject matter just changes i think uh but i don't think musically my influences
have changed i still listen to all the same sort of music i mean obviously there's lots of new music
coming out that's exciting but yeah i usually go back to all the old stuff.
It was probably at this stage that fellow journalists,
well, I say fellow, but I wouldn't even count them as peers because they were cowering.
A journalist needs to get in there.
And they just heard he was married with two beautiful daughters like me.
So we're obviously at this stage, no one else was even involved.
And I thought, here's a guy overseas.
I said, what do you tell your mates back home
about Aotearoa and Kiwis?
Well, I mean, it's no secret that I'd say
I basically married a girl from my hometown
and our parents lived within 10 minutes of us.
So that's why we live there and we're situated there
and all our friends live there.
But if that had never happened, I would live in Wellington.
Like, I love Wellington so much.
My favourite professional memory, I think,
was getting asked to do the song
for the hobbit desolation of smalg and flying over here staying here like it is the first time
because it feels it feels like a small town even though it is a city and it's also on the beach
and everyone's just really relaxed and chilled i never really get like bothered or there's no
weirdness here i never feel like i'm about to get into loads of danger. It's just very relaxed and chilled.
And I do like the chocolate.
Good to clarify.
Did you see Whitaker's?
Made him his own block.
Because in 2015 he said he didn't like the chocolate.
Apparently.
Which is weird. Because when you go to Britain
or any, like Australia, the chocolate's
yuck.
Australia need to address their chocolate.
It's bad
it's trash
it is
it's trash and it needs
to get in the bin
it was going to be
a massive show last night
and with all the records
he's released
we wanted to know
how he picked his set list
it's pretty easy
the crowd kind of decides
for you
like you
I've sort of whittled
down the set list
and some songs
are for the chop
pretty soon
you sort of play them
and you feel the reaction and you know
sometimes it's like big songs that have i have a couple of songs that have streamed a billion times
on spotify that i don't play that are just like you play it and the reaction's like so it's it's
pretty easy to decide what's for the chop um but yeah songs like shape of you bad habits thinking
out loud perfect a team like they're always gonna always going to be songs but yeah you feel the vibe
Yeah, all played last night, all those songs are amazing
So one last question
and at this stage journalists still didn't want to ask
him, so it's just up to us
They'd started leaving, so we were there
with the last question of the press
conference. What is your own personal
favourite song of your songs?
My personal favourite song is
Perfect because it's sort of like
I don't know, it was after
my second album I feel like lots of people were like
I don't know if that will happen again
and Perfect
you know, I wrote in a basement
in London and put on the album and it ended up
being bigger than Thinking Out Loud and
stuff like that and I feel
I don't know, it's I like that song a lot.
And just like that.
The Torches came on for that song last night too.
They did, yeah.
Did they what?
Anything he asked for, he got.
So he'd be like, clap like this.
And like within one beat, everyone was clapping.
They were like, turn your torches on.
And the whole stadium would go.
God, it was a good night.
You can catch the video on our socials, FBHZN.
And if you're on the fence, the next Ed Sheeran shows in Auckland,
Eden Park, next Friday and Saturday.
Still some tickets left.
Ticketmaster, incredible.
Absolutely worth it.
Just amazing.
And as always, he's just a gentleman.
I know.
I just wish we could have a beer with him.
You know what I mean?
Just sit down with a beer.
There's not too many people, celebrities, where you're like, I think I could. have a beer with him. You know what I mean? Just sit down with a beer. There's not too many people, celebrities,
where you're like, I think I could...
Have a beer with that person.
Yeah, win them over in the friendship thing
because I could play it cool,
but I reckon I could almost do it with Ed Sheeran.
Yeah, well, you're a nerd as well.
Yeah, I know.
You just start with Pokemon.
Daughters.
Hot wives.
There's parallels.
If you missed our chat with Ed Sheeran, our press conference, there's parallels play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley
if you missed our chat
with Ed Sheeran
our press conference
it's on our socials
FVHZM
can we now introduce him
or back
back introduce him
as our personal friend
Ed Sheeran
friend of the show
well I mean
he did kind of
give you a nod
but I don't know
if that's personal friend
yeah yeah
like hey
hey
hey
yeah but it is pretty crazy hey Hayley how are you I wanted to say to him yesterday But I don't know if that's personal friend. Yeah, yeah. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Yeah.
It is pretty crazy.
Hey, Hayley, how are you?
I wanted to say to him, you said, do you remember that story you told us backstage at Spark Arena?
Yeah, yeah.
He told us the story and we laughed so much.
And he's like, that can never hit the light of day.
That can never hit the light of day.
Now, you don't trust strangers with those sorts of stories.
No, I have told some of my friends that story.
I've told everybody that story.
Oh, no.
In fact, if you see us in public and we're drunk,
ask the story.
Absolutely, absolutely.
It's also like not as, it's not as good a story.
It won't shake you.
It's just the fact that he said what he said.
Yes, and it was very funny.
Yeah, it was very funny.
He's a great man.
And yeah, still tickets for those Auckland shows
next Friday, Saturday, our Ticketmaster and FVHZM to catch Ed Sheeran.
But right now it is time for Fact of the Day.
Day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Today's fact of the day is about the Boeing 747.
Sirius.
Why Sirius?
Sirius freaking out.
Siri.
It's about the Boeing 747.
The queen of the skies.
The queen of the skies.
That's right.
I know.
I think I know what your fact of the day is because I'm a bit of an aviation nerd.
You're such an aviation nerd.
Yeah.
The last one was delivered this week.
Why did he do that for?
Why did he do that?
It's not his segment.
What?
It's not your segment.
Is that the fact of the day?
This is Walt Smith's moment.
It was like I was slowly romancing my wife, wasn't it?
It was like I was whining and dining
and flattering her with compliments.
I've got a little gift to give her
and I'm about to do it.
And Fletch just rushes in and makes love to her.
Then and there.
Then and there.
No warm up.
I apologise.
There's a certain craft to this, sir.
It's like I dropped out of the ceiling
and landed on the table.
You just absolutely did.
It was not subtle at all.
I think I might know
this. That's fun and playful.
Then the fact.
The fact is after 53 years of production
the very final 747
was delivered to Atlas Air.
What is taking its
place? Well they're just not making
them anymore because there's no demand
for them because they're quite thirsty.
What's the 747?
What would I know it from? It's the one with the big
bulb on the top.
Bubble head.
The bubble at the top.
Business class engines.
Four engines.
A lot of airlines
don't fly them anymore.
They're like Qantas,
Air New Zealand.
Yeah, Lufthansa
have still got some.
They still love a 747.
The Airbus A380
really stole the thunder
off the 747.
Is that what we
go on now
yeah
yeah
wow yeah
that or the
Boeing's
787 Dreamliner
yeah
or the A350
go further
oh my god guys
it's so cool
what cool
chat
for 8.30
on a Friday
on a Friday
on the eve of a long weekend
oh my god
and now
there was the
A496
now that one you'll find the shape of the tail.
There's no A496.
Could you just be serious, please?
So I've just got some quick fire facts about the 747.
Okay.
Because he shat all over your one fact, so now you've come up with more facts.
During its service, the 747 has flown more than 3.5 billion people.
Wow.
Wowee.
Have been on a, well, I mean, there could be some repeat.
Was that a genuine wowee?
No, I'm actually quite shook by that number.
Okay.
With the capacity for 350 to 400 people,
the 747 once carried 1,087 people at once.
I wish I had the story behind that.
Absolute overloading.
Were they evacuating a...
Do you remember that American Air Force
plane last year? Or when they were getting out of Iraq
and they put like 8,000 people in Afghanistan?
Yeah. They fit a lot of people on it.
It takes 90 gallons of paint
to paint a 747. Oh my god, that's
such useful information to use at a party this
weekend.
The Wright brothers could have fit
their first historic flight
inside a 747.
So they didn't fly higher
than a 747 is high
or longer than a 747 is long.
I don't know if we should have
given them that first flight.
Yeah.
So it's a glide, doesn't it?
You can do that red bull thing.
I was going to say that.
The wolf jump.
Floggen,
what do they call it?
Floggen Dogen.
Yeah, they're a Floggen Dogen
off the wharf.
Yeah.
There are 365 switches, dials and lights in the cockpit,
which is a very confusing time.
How many do they use?
I'm finding all of this so fascinating.
I can see.
He's literally like jumping out of a seat.
Due to the double-decker layout of the 747,
some passengers are closer to the front of the plane than the pilots.
Oh, yeah.
They'd be right underneath them.
That's interesting, isn't it?
The Boeing 747 first flew in February 1969.
That's five months before Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
Wow.
So the 747, which this week,
the last 747 was taken ownership of,
has been in the skies longer
than Apollo missions to the moon.
Wow.
The ones that actually got to the moon.
That's fascinating.
Oh, my God.
I'm aghast.
You're aghast at these amazing 747 facts.
All right.
So thank you for your service, Great Up the Skies.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And we hope you, well, I was going to say,
are with us for a lot longer, but I don't like that about planes.
No, I like a new plane.
Why don't they convert them into like apartments,
cheap housing, like, you know, shipping containers.
There are some you can buy, you can stay at some overseas.
Yeah, but then you get a Westerly and it's off you go.
And then you don't know how to drive this thing.
Yeah, where the hell am I going now?
So today's Fact of the Day is after 53 years of 747s,
the last one was delivered to its new owner this week.
Fact of the
day, day, day, day,
day. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. It's Miley Flowers on ZM, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
That song continuing to break records.
Because it came out, what, three weeks ago today.
20 days ago.
Because it's taken 20 days to surpass 300 million streams.
It's a record breaker.
Wow.
I'm so on board.
It's a record breaker, baby.
I'm so on board with this song.
Carwin.
Carwin's sick of it.
Carwin, producer Carwin said, I'm sick of it.
Oh my God, women supporting other women, Carwin.
Yeah, that's actually disgusting
Marley's been through a lot
in this the year of the rabbit
that makes it
all the more worse
right now when the moon is in Aquarius
I can't get enough of that song
love it it's on loop
if you think Carwin being a woman
hater is disgusting
wait till you hear what we're about Carwyn being a woman hater is disgusting.
Wait till you hear what we're about. She's not.
She loves women, but just not Miley Cyrus.
Wait till you hear this.
She picked a woman in that game we played yesterday.
But anyway, we'll talk about that later. That's off air chat.
I don't even know where to start,
because, oh my god.
You don't need to tell me. It's like my child
has committed armed robbery.
I know.
The level of disappointment I am feeling.
So I ordered something.
Oh, my God.
You ordered something.
Without telling us.
A travesty occurred, ladies and gents.
Without telling us.
And I told you at the airport yesterday.
Oh, my God, my package has arrived.
She screamed.
And you would think that I had murdered somebody.
You might as well have.
And I said... Murder's
often an act of passion and I understand one
thing, ladies and gentlemen, it's passion.
I know. Mr. Passion over to my
left here. And then I said
what did you order and you said, oh my god, I forgot to tell you
as in exciting news,
exciting news. And Hayley loves
buying things. She just bought a silver pin
of her high school that she left 15 years
ago. Why? It was on Trade Me.
Luce Veritatis. Follow the light of truth.
And then she said, and what would I need to do with this?
And then showed me a brown bottle and I said,
you don't need that. And she's like, convince
me. She loves buying.
I love to buy and I'm always on board.
I'm out. I'm out.
I said, what did you buy? And you said, oh my god,
I forgot to tell you. What did you buy? And you said, oh my God, I forgot to tell you.
What did you buy?
Well, for the cycle classes that we go to, the cycle classes inside, not outside in the world.
Yet.
I purchased some shoes, some cycle shoes, clip-clop shoes.
Clip-clop shoes.
He purchased clip-clop shoes.
Clip-clop shoes.
Say no more!
You shut now.
The prosecution rests.
You shut now. The prosecution rests. And we'll pick it up. We've got a clip-clop shoes Say no more You shut now The prosecution rests You shut now The prosecution rests

We've got a clip-clopper in studio
So the problem is

I will never go to a spin class
With you ever again
When we first started
Going to spin classes together
We would walk

And people would clip clop
Clip clop in front of us
And we'd be like
How embarrassing
How embarrassing
You're not on a bike
Here's another I will never.
You will never have sex again.
And the gym is full of hotties.
That's not looking at you anymore.
I'm not clomping through the gym.
I will hold my shoes and walk in my normal shoes.
I will wear my gym shoes to the studio and I will get changed next to my bike.
So even you know it's embarrassing.
Yeah, but not to wear them on the side.
Oh my God.
It's way more embarrassing
to wear them on an inside bike.
How?
I might fall off my inside bike.
It's way worse.
If you were a serious
outdoor weekend cyclist,
I'd be like,
that's okay,
just don't wear them
into a cafe.
But I don't want to keep
ruining my gym shoes.
Just get slimmer gym shoes.
No.
You don't have to go in a gym shoe. I can slimmer gym shoes. No. You don't have to go.
Get a slimmer gym shoe.
I can't.
Hell, I've got a big foot.
I've got a size US 12.
Oh, for God's sake.
Oh, my God.
A size US 12 clip cloth.
I know.
You won't be able to avoid them.
Jesus.
They'll be staring you in the eye.
What's next?
Padded ass.
That's what comes next is the padded short.
Oh, if I can go in defense of the padded ass.
Who are you people?
Play. Zed Amps Fletletch Vodden Ailey.
Play ZM.
Grown up stag dude tonight.
Now this is...
This will not be my last stag dude.
Some of my best friends
still aren't married.
Right.
But this is...
It's been a while
since you've had a stag dude.
It's been a while since...
It's been a while
between stag dudes.
And that's what's making it growing up because it won't be raucous, will it?
There'll be an element of raucousness.
There'll be no naked because we respect.
Because of the respect we have.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
Side note, comedian Laura Daniel, I'm sure she won't mind.
Well, well.
No, comedian Laura Daniel Had her hems due
And someone organised
A stripper
Yeah
He turned up
With the worst sunburn
Oh
Oh no
No
He took off his pants
There was like
White bum
Red back
Oh no
So the whole time
So I had to smack
My strippers on the back
So that would have been
No good
No good, yeah
They were just trying
To slap a sunburn.
Anyway, unprofessional.
That's all I'd say.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, you're right.
But I mean, I guess he booked the gig.
Yeah, he booked it.
And he had to turn up.
And he turned up.
Oh, no, I won't spoil it.
Yeah.
He had all his stuff in like a reusable countdown.
He did not.
That's good.
Like.
I won't say anymore. I don't claim to know a lot about women,
but I know what turns them on.
A little bit of organisation and like a little bit of taking,
putting a bit of thought into things.
A little satchel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or even a country road duffel.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a countdown reusable bag.
Okay, wow.
Well, okay, so there'll be no strippers with countdown reusable bags at your growing up, Stag Do.
So tomorrow's like when the Stag Do part kicks off, but because we were down here with work,
we decided to make a Friday night of it and have a night out on the town.
But all of us forgot to organise accommodation.
Until a few days ago.
You remember this a few days ago.
And Vaughan says to me, Fletch, what should I do about accommodation?
I said, well, you've left it very late.
Very late.
It stressed you right out.
Oh my God, I know.
But I don't know,
because everyone at the stag do is useless.
They all rely on their wives and partners
to do everything.
And we're wallowing our white arrogance
because everything just kind of always works out for us.
You weaponise your incompetence as well.
Absolutely, absolutely.
I was giving my friend Callum's partner, Gemma, was having a big stress.
She was very stressed about this.
She was very stressed.
Sade just wiped her hands of it.
I was like, you're on your own.
Good luck to you.
Good luck.
I'm hundreds of kilometers away.
Do not call me for anything.
Yeah.
Do you want the wines?
So the other day, the people at the Nomi Hotel who looked after us last time we were in Wellington
reached out and said, we hear that you're in desperate need. So the other day, the people at the Nomi Hotel, who looked after us last time we were in Wellington,
reached out and said, we hear that you're in desperate need.
And I said, I am.
I am. Help me.
Help me.
And so they said, we can sort you out with a room.
I said, but there's four of us.
And they said, oh, okay.
And I said, one big bed?
And so we're going to push two queen beds together and have one big bed. Four I said, one big bed. And so we're going to push two queen
beds together and have one big bed.
Four lads, one big bed.
We're going to go get steaks. We're going to go get beds.
We're going to get some whiskey cocktails. And then
we're going to go, one big bed.
But you don't need two, like two
men could share the bed and that would be fine.
But why do you need to push them together?
Because it's, if there's four men
in the bed, it's less likely that people will cast aspersions and rumours will spark.
No, I think it's more likely.
No, it's more pushing together.
Two dudes in one bed times two in one room.
Yeah.
That to me is far more worrying than four dudes in one big bed.
How?
No.
Two dudes in a twin.
One big bed. Also, are you using beds. One big bed. One big bed.
Also, are you using this opportunity on our primetime radio show?
I am, to get a little plug in and keep an eye on my Instagram later on as I pay for
my night in Wellington.
Wow.
You are basically a white girl influencer.
I am.
Oh my God.
I'm a white girl travel blogger.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
What's your, do you think that the-
One big bed. The hotel is going to like... Do you think that the... One big bed.
The hotel is going to like you pushing together two beds
and saying one big bed.
I think that...
Chanting.
Not saying.
Chanting one big bed as we jump into bed.
The thing about the Nomi,
is they're a versatile hotel that are willing to really...
Oh, my God, you opened the door right up for this.
Wow.
Bend over backwards for the guests.
They're also chucking in breakfast.
Boy, I can't wait for this breakfast because, you know, after a big sleep for the guests. They're also chucking in breakfast.
Boy, I can't wait for this breakfast
because, you know,
after a big sleep
and one big bed,
you need a hearty breakfast.
To recharge.
To recharge the batteries
before the actual stag do.
I can't wait
until this becomes a norm
and you're booking
something on booking.com
or Expedia
and it's like one queen,
two queen beds
or one big bed.
One big bed.
One big bed.
Yeah.
Wow. Wow. The master suite. Yes. Four men. Yes. One big bed. Yeah. Wow.
Wow, the master suite. Four men.
Yes. One big bed. And then what else
is happening for the snag do?
So we're going to a place called
River's End?
It's from... It's Rainbow's End.
Rainbow's End. That's it.
That's it. I knew it was that.
Is that the podcast done? Because I'm
blasting for a poos.
Basting for a poos. Basting for a poos.
Jesus.
Give us a review.
