The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Try their refreshing McCafe iced coffee. Available now at Macca's. Coming up on the show, on the podcast, you're going to hear about how to find out

your earliest interactions on Instagram. Your earliest likes, your earliest comments, your story replies. God, I liked some bloody pictures. Mine, yours is very thirsty. Yeah, mine wasn't. Mine was very boring. Yeah, mine was very self-indulgent.

Just all photos of myself. That actually reflects upon what we're like now. You're still self-indulgent, I'm still boring, and Fletch is still very thirsty. I miss the days of Instagram where you could see what people were liking. Yes, same. Part of it. Part of it. Do you know what else I miss?

Snapchat's top three friends. Oh, yeah. Part of it. Part of it. Do you know what else I miss? Snapchat's top three friends. Oh, yeah, it would show them. Because then you can see who people were cheating on. Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. And how's about how still LinkedIn shows you who's looking at your profile? I don't LinkedIn.

Imagine though if you pay for premium LinkedIn, otherwise it gives you a little tease. It's like eight people have looked at your profile. Here's two. Want to find out the other six? But imagine if you could see everybody that was looking at all of your stuff. Yeah. Why? That's wild, eh?

I think it would change social media wildly. Yeah, it would. But so we're going to talk about how to find your earliest interactions. And we got this text message. Didn't address it on here. Thought we'd just chuck it in as a little potty extra. Oh, God, aren't you lucky? Somebody said, I wanted to share with you all That back in 2016 You told people how to find messages

Sent to you on Facebook by strangers Just like how you explained Instagram Message requests I ended up finding a message From my biological father And made a connection to him Turns out he was a dick But it took 23 years to find him

And you guys helped That's not on us though The fact he's a dick No no no But 23 years to find him and you guys helped. That's not on us, though, the fact he's a dick. No, no, no. But she's still saying grateful to have found him. Grateful to have made the connection. Because now you never guess. You put it to bed. There's no more mystery of who dad is or what kind of person dad was.

Well, he's a dick. He's a dick. He's a dick. As it turns out. Yeah. Yeah. But we're not taking the blame for any family reunion situations that lead to poor results absolutely not we refuse to

don't take any blame for any outcome of anything to do with the show legally yeah I'm distancing myself from any outcomes of anything see we could have cut all of this off no legally I think we will.

Don't you dare. Enjoy the podcast. Legally. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Happy Thursday. Happy Thursday.

Big show today. Not only is it a $100,000 Secret Sound Thursday. Thursday. We have a couple of big celebs on the show this morning. No big deal. After we do Secret Sound at 8 o'clock, we're joined by Jake Gyllenhaal

and Yaya Abdul-Martin II. I wish I was a What was that? It's a hmm and a hmm. Absolutely. It's like a pick and mix. You know, I just put my hand in. I don't know which one comes out.

Have a lovely snack. You're going to be happy with either one of those four. And I respect them as actors. Both creative. And creatives. Yeah. Well, they are in the new Michael Bay movie, Ambulance, which is out today across the country in cinemas.

I saw it last week. Yes. It's Michael Bay-rific., which is out today across the country in cinemas. I saw it last week. Yes. It's Michael Bay-rific. Explosions. Destruction. They rob a bank and their getaway is an ambulance. God, it would be so fun to be in one of those films. Oh, absolutely.

Just strapping. Just to see the destruction happening around you. They ruined some police cars, let me tell you that. Spoiler alert. If I have a child, let me tell you that. Spoiler alert. If I have a child, I want to give them a aye-aye of a second. Don't you think it makes you sound so small?

Imagine if you were Vaughan Smith. Vaughan Alan Smith the second. Well, you'd be Ian Smith the second, wouldn't you? Or Ian Smith Jr. No, but you don't have to be the second, you just add it. I'd make it the third. Oh yeah, like Richard. But then you'd always be getting questions like have to be the second. You just add it. Oh, I'd make it the third. Oh, yeah. But then you'd always be getting questions like,

who were the second and the third? Don't worry about it. I'm the third. Right. I'm the third. Carl Fletcher the third. Oh, it's so good. I'd say first, the worst, second, the best, third, the Golden Eagle.

Third, the Golden Eagle. That's what I'd say. Every time someone said, what's the deal with the third? Right. I'm the Golden Eagle. After we talk to Jake Gyllenhaal and Yaya at 8 o'clock, we will be following that up today with a Hayley's version. We couldn't wait for Friday again.

No, sad news. Ashley Bloomfield's leaving us. There's a big... Mass evacuation. Yeah, there seems to be some sort of mass. What's happening there? What are they doing? Is anyone surprised?

No. Like, they've just dealt with a pandemic. And now it's, like, totally changed shape. And I think they're like, we did that bit of it. We did the, you know, what do they call the technique where we just didn't spread it around? Elimination technique. Elimination technique.

Yeah, yeah. They did that bit, and now we're not doing that bit again. So it makes sense to pass it on to a different approach. Anyway, I am doing Hayley's version. To say goodbye is a little clue for the song that I am covering. Goodbye. All right, that'll be after eight this morning. The top six on the way soon.

Yeah, apparently fish can do basic maths. Mind-blowing, right? So I've got the top six ways to sneak a fish into your next maths exam. Well, friend of the show, Ed Sheeran. It's a good day for him. He won his copyright battle. Over this song?

Over this song, Shape of You. When we spoke to him a few weeks ago and he announced his New Zealand shows, he was like, before it started, he was rinsed. Well, we spoke to him like in the middle of the court case. And Shane Warner just passed away. It was not a good day to be Ed. Yeah. So yeah, he's had a hell of a time of it.

He did not look happy. So the whole bit will happen because of this song, which went absolutely, like, incredibly well. Yeah. And then, where's the bit? It's the bit that goes, oh. It was a, I'll just fast forward it. Yeah, after this.

This bit. Right. So that bit. Right. So that bit. And then there's an artist called Sammy Switch. Who? Who wrote a song called O-Y. And this is a bit that they reckon was ripped off. Very different songs, but you can see...

Sammy Smith also made his video in his garage, I think. But you can see the similarities, right? And so this guy was like, this pop artist has absolutely ripped me off. He's going to take the piss. And in the meantime, didn't they freeze the royalties on the song? And it was like 15 million pounds. Oh, it would be absurd. And then in the court case, remember they were like,

they played a new song, unreleased song of Ed's and he was like, what are you doing? Like, this is major for me. What are you doing? Anyway, he's released this statement. Whilst we're obviously happy with the result, I feel like claims like this are way too common now and have become a culture where a claim is made

with the idea that a settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there's no base for the claim. There's only so many notes and very few chords used in pop music. Coincidence is bound to happen

if 60,000 songs are being released every day on Spotify. There's 22 million songs a year and there's only 12 notes that are available. Lawsuits are not a pleasant experience

and I hope with this ruling it means in the future baseless claims like this can be avoided. This really does have to end. He's pissed. He is pissed. I'm so happy for him that he won because I totally agree.

Like, pop music has a recipe. Like, you know, there are only a certain amount of chord progressions that you can do before it becomes, like, alternative music or, like, avant-garde music. Pop music follows a structure. And so, of course, there's going to be similarities between songs. It's a good one, Ed. Yeah.

You can see how it would be, like, it's basically a shakedown, right? You can see how it would be easier to silence it out of court. And then, you know. Give them a couple of mil. Yeah, give them a couple of mil. But he fought it and he won. I wonder if he would have done that if it wasn't such a huge song. But this is one of his biggest songs.

Yeah. One of the biggest songs of the last 10 years yeah exactly so you wouldn't just kind of walk away and be like oh well I guess that I'll just say that it was that Sammy Switch's song OY the official video now has 1.8 million views and if you read the comments it's all people

be like um good on you Ed for getting this video to a million views um dude I don't even like Ed Sheeran, but all you're doing is going up the scale. That's not copying. That's just music. Like all of the comments.

I hope he's not reading the comments. He probably doesn't need that. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. You can stream the show anywhere on any device. iHeart Radio. Yeah, that's good. Work that in there.

Vaughn. iHeart Radioio. Yeah, that's good. Work that in there. Vaughn. iHeartRadio? What an app! And you can send us little messages, can't you? It was meant to be a seamless... What an app! You're telling us about millionaires. I don't want to sound too much like a company guy toeing the line here, but what an app.

One hell of an app. She's right over there. I'm opening it. Do we still have the button for that recently played, ZM? We do. She's a company woman. We do have the button, secret sound. You can send it a phone, can't you? Yeah, you can. You can send in a voice memo.

Yeah, there's the little microphone. Yeah, we should do it. Send a message. Okay. Send a message. Hold it. We'd like to access the microphone. Well, she's used this before. She's not a company girl. Oi! I think I know what the secret sound is. Is it the sound of my leg hairs being waxed out at a rapid pace?

My name's Hayley. There you go. That's good. You could get a call back at one o'clock. I'm just giving away the secret sound. You may have. The sound of Hayley Sproul's leg hair is being waxed out. Well, speaking of Hayley Sproul, millionaires.

Salacious rumours. This is European millionaires, though, because this has only been done at the German Institute for Economic Research. Okay. And the University of Munster. Ireland? Ireland. Munster. Yeah. University of Munster. Ireland? Ireland. Munster.

Yeah. The Munster Mash. The Munster. Where you learn to be a Munster. I'm sure because of the rugby team. That's the only reason I think Munster. Yeah. Or it might be Munster, actually,

because it's got two dots over the U, so that might be another German. Or is it Munster? You've got an umlaut. Like Munich. Yes. Munster. Yeah, it's in Germany. Okay.ster. You've got an umlaut. Like Munich. Yes. Münster. Yeah, it's in Germany.

Okay. Yeah. He's got an umlaut. In the city of Münster. Okay, so this is European millionaires. Millionaires tend to be more extroverted, open, risk tolerant, conscientious, and emotionally stable than others. It's because they don't have to worry about it.

They don't have to worry because they're rich. They don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry because there's a lot of care in the world. Yeah. But are you saying this could make us a millionaire if we are all of these things? Well, you dress for the job you want, so you could act for the socioeconomic bracket you want. So I've got to stop wearing jorts and t-shirts? You've got to stop wearing jorts and t-shirts.

No, no, no. Billionaires famously dress very poorly. Cash, yeah. You know, Richard Branson in his white linens. Yeah. Mark Zuckerberg in his... All your hoodies. Whatever's.

Hoodies. Bill Gates. Steve Jobs famously always wore that turtleneck. Just black skirt, turtleneck and a pair of jeans. Yeah. He did it because he didn't want to be judged. Like, he just thought if he wore the same thing all the time, I think Zuckerberg said the same thing,

then people won't get distracted by what they're wearing. But then by doing that and saying that, you become an image. Yes. That's why I always wear navy blue t-shirts. You've got a real brand going. What about the mo' money, my problems?

Is that not a thing? Mo' money, less problems. You just happy and confident and chill. Not everybody, but this is the, on average, compared to non-millionaires surveyed and asked the same questions. Can we get some millionaires messaging in? Any millionaires listening? I'm not talking about assets.

Right. You're talking about cash money. I'm talking about cash money in the bank. Cash money in the bank. Yeah, I want to see if they're super chill and confident and happy. Anybody who bought a house in the 80s would technically be a millionaire. Asset rich, money poor.

Yeah. Oh, there you go. Another good reason to be a millionaire. Yeah, you're extroverted and chill and emotionally stable and conscientious. Cool. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Well, we've got Pete Davidson to thank for this.

He returned to Saturday Night Live, the American TV show at the weekend. A sketch where he wrapped, it was just basically about long movies and how movies are too long these days and we need short-ass movies. So Netflix have launched

netflix.com slash short-ass movies. So Netflix have launched netflix.com slash short ass movies. Really? Where you can go and I believe all the movies are like an hour and a half. Cool. Oh, I love a 90. Love a 90 minutes. Especially like

at night, right? Like on a school night. You don't need a three hour movie on a school night. Growing up movies a three hour movie on a school night growing up movies were that's just how long movies were yes back at like black and white films are like 70 minutes yeah well it was so hard to make because they actually film yeah yeah they ran out of tape yeah oh that's amazing i remember that was the big thing of when we would go to the video store to pick a video. Yeah. Like, mum would say, how many minutes is it? And they were all like, 82 minutes, 82, 90. There might be a push out to like a 100.

Anything over, she's like, nah, don't bother with it, because you're not going to sit there and watch the whole thing. You're not going to stay awake for it. Oh, I thought she wanted you to watch the longest movie, so she didn't have to deal with you for that long. Oh, or the longest movie for the cheapest price. She was thinking cost per minute. God, there's some goodies in there, isn't there?

Yeah. Zoolander? They're all short. Zoolander's in there? But Lane, do you think about the movies? It's a great story told. How long's Power of the Dog? A lot of the Oscar nominated best films are all knocking on three hours. The new Batman, eh?

That was three. Oh, yeah, that was great. Pushing three. Two hours, five, Power of the Dog. I'm not mad. Battlefast, which won other, a lot of Academy Awards, 138. Coda, the story, the guy that was in it was the first deaf actor to win a. That's right, yeah.

An Oscar, 151. So those are about under two hours. Do you know, people are pointing out though, you know how Pete Davidson and Judd Apatow made his movie? King of Staten Island. It's over two hours. It was long. I watched the first episode.

Judd Apatow always makes long. Yeah, not a good editor. Not a good editor. No, you could not. Like sometimes when you're giving them a rewatch, you're like, here's where I would knock out five minutes. Yeah, you could trim that scene. But then if you made a movie, I'd be like, I's where I would knock out five minutes. Yeah, you could trim that scene.

But then if you made a movie, I'd be like, I shot that. I don't want to not put it in the movie. No, you've got to kill some good bits. It's the mark of a good editor. It hurts. Yeah, right. Okay, well, yeah, there's short-ass movies now for our short-ass attention span. So is that just on the main menu? I believe so, yeah.

So it's our own category. We're a TikTok generation. Yeah. Yeah, they might as well make- Short-ass movies. Might as well film the movies in portrait. There's Happy Gilmore Boys on there, Midnight in Paris.

That's a great film. A lot of rom-coms, because, you know- The Holy Honour, Sarah. Yeah, yeah, story heavy, yeah. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, one of my all-time favourite films. A great movie. A centura. There is a lot of crap on here, though. Yeah, not story heavy, eh? Monty Python and the Holy Grail, one of my all-time favourite films, Ace Ventura.

There is a lot of crap on here, though. Yeah, scary movies, all the, you know, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and the likes, but, you know. This feels like something I would do. I'm a little bit petty like this. There's a convenience store worker in the States

who has gone viral on the talk after a video of her refusing to serve a customer went online. Hi, how are you? 380 on pump two. I said, hi, how are you? Okay, I won't be serving you today, no problem. So her beef was...

What, because... So she has taken a stance. She refuses to serve a customer who doesn't say hi back. So she says, hi, how are you? Oh, she's going to lose her job. Something on. Yeah. I said, hi, how are you?

Okay, I will not be serving you today. Next customer. That person. Did they say 380? 380 on pump 2? Can you play it again? I think so, yeah. Let me have a listen. $380 on pump 2.

So they put $5.50 worth of petrol in their car. I know petrol's a little bit cheaper. That's the thing, like the dude might be a little bit embarrassed or just want to get it over and done with or, like, he's about to drop exactly $3.80 on there.

He just wants to... Yeah. Yeah. Well, people are going, like, that's not his job to say hi to you. It's your job to say hi to him and be friendly. That's customer service. But there's many reasons why people won't say hi.

Yeah, it's like anxiety. I'm in a rush. I can't do that. Social engagement. Yeah. I'd love to know the running total of people that have lost their jobs because of the things they've put on TikTok about their job. Yeah, yeah, rush. I can't do that. Social engagement. I'd love to know the running total of people that have lost their jobs because of the things they've put on TikTok about their job.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. What mountain they decided to die on. Like, I always see, like, fast food workers. They're like, hey, here's me with the patties. I'm always like, what are you doing? Or like, here's a secret that you don't, you know, this fast food joy doesn't want you to know.

Or they're dancing in the aisles of a supermarket. I'm like, they're going to see this. They're doing it for the content. Yeah. I mean, if this is this woman's service station, she can do this. But if it's not, she's going to lose her job, right? It's not hers. No, she's just a worker.

A worker, yeah. Other people are saying like, yeah, man, manners are free. Like, good for you on taking a stance. Oh, yeah. I mean, 100%, I would say hello. We say hello. Yeah. I mean, it is weird if people don't say hello,

but you may have a bad day and move on about it. Anyway, imagine you just want to get some bloody petrol. Yeah, $3.80 worth of petrol. All right. It's a $100,000 Thursday. All thanks to Neon with our secret sound and the activator playing. It's coming up just before 7. From the Panoramic ZM Think Tank, this is the Top 6.

Hey, German researchers at the Institute of Zoology have found out that both cichlids and stingrays are able to do basic maths. What are sickleheads? Sickleheads are like, there's a huge range of them. It's like fish. They look like goldfish to me, but it's a branch of the fish family. Are they just like, oh, there's three bits of things I can eat. If I eat one, there's two left.

Yeah. No. Well, the reward was food. Right. They associated blue shapes with addition and yellow shapes with subtraction. There would be so many blue shapes and then they'd be like,

okay, that one and then plus and then there'd be a gate with four and they'd swim through that one more often than not. It's very convoluted. Super like, I've read through it a hundred times. Go and do something on the cancer department. Yeah, there's still a lot of cancer around. Yeah, like get in there.

Did you see that study yesterday? It was like mushrooms know 50 words. What, 50 words? I've got the story. Mushrooms know 50 words. I'm not even making this up. Mushrooms know 50 words? I've got the story Mushrooms know 50 words I'm not even making this up Mushrooms know 50 words They were born with an existing knowledge

I've got your email here I think you might have dreamed this You were on the piss You had the story about the fish too I've been chatting to a fungi Mushrooms can talk to each other And recognise up to 50 words a researcher suggests. Not words. Not words as we know them in the Oxford Dictionary.

Analysis showed spikes of activity were structurally similar to human speech. They looked at spikes. It was not words. They don't know 50 words. God, if I'm out walking and a mushroom's like, hello, I'm going to be like, far out. Did I eat one of you? Yeah. You ate my brother.

Well, apparently they- There's a few more of the words you know. Apparently they can communicate, so. Oh my. But then all plants can communicate, right? Like trees. Well, yeah, because apparently when you eat a salad, it's like screams. Ow.

When you pluck it out of the ground, it sends like a pulse out to the other salads. What? What? But again, what? to the other lettuce let's get these mushroom scientists into the cancer department or the COVID department why do we need this information?

mushrooms know 50 words I don't have the list of 50 words but they do marshmallow well on the same I don't have the list of 50 words but they do Marshmallow Well on the same level of ridiculous things that are currently being investigated, fish have math skills and they tested these

freshwater stingrays, I bloody love stingrays Mantas, any sort of rays Yuck They're so soft Have you ever seen them gobble up food? They come up And they're like Because their eyes Are on the bottom too

And they go They've got a big Smiley face Yeah And when you see A real massive one Or the manta rays Yeah they're real

They're beautiful creatures They're so cool Anyway They can do basic maths So I've got the top six ways To sneak a fish Into your maths exam They don't know 50 words though

No they don't No that's English You want the mushrooms For English Sneak a mushroom For your next maths exam. They don't know 50 words, though. No, they don't. No, that's English. You want the mushrooms for English. Sneak a mushroom. Fish for maths. Mushes, yeah. And I assume trees for science.

Yeah. Top six ways to sneak a fish into your next maths exam. Number six, up your sleeve. In fact, let them hold your pencil. Yes. In their mouth. And they'll draw the answers for your maths exam. Number five on the list of the top six ways to sneak a fish answers for your maths exam. Number five on the list

of the top six ways to think efficiently next maths exam are in your mouth full of water. Open your mouth so they can see the questions. Without letting the water

dribble on the paper. You know that thing you gotta when you're trying to swallow a pill but you can't and then the water's in your mouth

and you're like and you've got to get a little bit of breath so you tilt your head back and open a little bit just so the fish can pop out and see the, probably stingrays

are going to be too big for that one. God, if I was in an exam and looked over and saw a mouth poking out of, a fish poking out of their mouth, I'd think I'd eaten the mushrooms. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, well you should be in English with the mushrooms. Number four on the list of the top six ways to sneak a fish into your next maths exam, go full ratatouille, fishatouille.

Fish bowl under your hat. Yep. And have it tap in the answers on the glass. Or you'd have to learn Morse first. Are they capable of learning Morse? Because if you're going to learn Morse, you might as well learn maths. Yeah. Unless they tell the mushrooms.

And they can communicate with you. Linguistically. Yeah. Yeah. Answer it. Number three on the list of the top six ways to sneak a fish into your maths exam. Wear a big jacket and put the fishbowl in your jacket with a little opening between the buttons so the fish can see the exams.

Pretend you're pregnant or something. Yeah, yeah. Number two on the list of the top six ways to sneak a fish into your maths exam. Have a huge bottle of water. You know those ones that you see at the gym? Someone's like taking 18 litres of water to the gym like there's not a tap 10 steps away

which would mean that they could just have a far smaller more practical water bottle. Sit that on your desk. Fish inside. Yeah, good idea. Swimming around

seeing the answers. And number one on the list are the ways to sneak a fish into your next maths exam. Don't. Have them in a van outside,

probably a plumber's van outside and you're wearing a pair of glasses with a spy camera in it, feed into the van, they see it, they give the answers and they speak to you through a headset. Great idea. Fish spies.

That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, some performance experts have conducted a study. And we all know this feeling, you know, when you're at the gym and you forget your headphones. Oh, I hate that.

This is going to be a bad workout. Like they have the music at the gym, but it's like in the distance. I'm a massive fan of CCR. But the other day I was in the women's gym at Les Mills. What's CCR? Credence Clearwater Revival. Oh. Do, do, do, looking out my back door.

Was playing. I was like, this feels wrong. This isn't a gym song. Yeah, that's not going to get you a fat dumper, is it? That's not getting my dumper any fatter than it already is. But of course, so these guys looked into actually how much certain types of music increase the amount that you can lift compared to listening to no music. So the participants all listened to a variation of artists and then they reported the increase

on what they would usually lift in a percentage when they listened to these artists. So there's a top 10. And number 10, if you want to lift 8.33% more than usual, you'll listen to Metallica. I got a lot of Metallica on my workout playlist. Do you? I love Metallica.

I listen to them just to calm down sometimes. You're an odd one, eh? Yeah, I do. You are an odd one. My music taste. Real sample of box of biscuits. Pretty just clear what a revival of Metallica. I hold them at even.

But this. This is a dumper day. This is dumper day. This is dumper day. This is legs. Yeah, this is legs. Squat. Right. Squat.

And you're not from regional New Zealand. No, I'm not. I'm from Poncy, Wellington. Then there's Doja Cat, Beyonce, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake. Number five,

Marshall Mathers. So anything Eminem. Well, this will, if you listen to Eminem while you're working out, you will lift 12.68% more than if you weren't listening to music. Right. This gets you going. Or it gets you voting for the National Party. It gets you rowing.

Yeah, yeah. It gets you rowing and voting. And then number four, we've got Lizzo3, BTS, 2, Harry Styles. BTS, Korean K-pop? Yeah. And that's quite up music, isn't it? Real upbeat. Yeah.

More of a cardio. More cardio jams than weight jams. Well, no. This is lifting 22.47% more than if you weren't listening to any music, if you listen to BTS. So this number one that's on the list this is on the most gym playlists on the most gym playlists and the participants in this study when they listen to this artist they could lift 37.93 percent more do a leaper any do a leaper oh we do love this song

give me a clap clap yeah because if you're like... There you go. There you go. Squat. Down. I get this. This is a banger. Still feels like more cardio music to me than lifting music.

I always associate heavier music with lifting music. Yeah. Well, there you go. If you wanted to go to the gym today and hit some PBs. We'll get you started. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. Silly little boy. Just fact-checking that we are indeed playing on the iHeartRadio app. Just let it be seamless. It's moments behind.

I kind of want to hear you say that we're on the iHeartRadio app on the iHeartRadio app. Okay, it's meant to be seamless. No, I know, I know. That's what they requested. It's meant to be seamless. No, I know. I know. That's what they requested. It's meant to be very seamless. Oh, you know what? It was to the point that we were applauding you, how seamless you'd done it.

Hayley had tears in her eyes. Yeah, but now it's... Now you're making it unseamless. The song's not done. How far behind is iHeartRadio? I think it's like a... That's something maybe we need to look into. Well, it's only...

It's like 30 seconds. Yeah. They don't know they're 30 seconds behind. I mean, you're just drawing attention to the unseamless. Anna's just walked back in from the bathroom. I want to say she's not that happy. You were so beautiful. You see, that was.

It was, it was. It checks out. It was so seamless. It checks out. Thank you for fact checking that. Thank you for fact checking that. Anna, did you see how seamless that was? Oh, your mic's off.

Yeah, your mic's off. Yeah, your mic's off. Oh, sorry. Another seamless piece of broadcasting. That's all right. Fletch, it's your first day. I'll cut you some slack. It was another seamless mention of iHeartRadio without Vaughan pointing to it. The bosses are going to be so happy.

Actually, you could probably go back to the app and hear us talk about how seamless this was on the iHeartRadio app. Oh, hang on. We'll just go and see where we're at. Okay, it's meant to be seamless. See, we're now talking about how seamless it seamless. It's meant to be very seamless. It was to the point that we were applauding you. God, this is...

It's meta because we can then go back in another 30 seconds and see how seamless was the seamless list. That's iHeartRadio. How handy is that if you're not near your actual radio? Any time you can listen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Seamless mention of the iHeartRadio app. Vaughan, you've got today's silly little poll. Yeah, grocery shopping online or in store? It's the traditional way to do it, isn't it? Going in store. And I think these pandemic times have certainly helped people adapt to supermarket online shopping. Everyone always says,

if you shop online, you don't end up buying crap that you don't need. You don't need. That's the bit I like. Me too. I like to peruse. I love going. I'd rather go in, to be honest.

Same, I love it. I always put my headphones in and I listen to a crime podcast. Oh, yeah. So while I'm shopping, someone's getting murdered. Yeah. And I just, I absolutely take my time.

You haven't said a more whiter thing. Oh, yeah, the woman. It's always a woman and she's always white. Yeah. 100%. You can just buy in because we all know a white woman who could be murdered. No, absolutely. Any given moment.

I'm invested. This could be any one of us. One, two, three, four. In fact, there are probably a lot of crime podcasts on the iHeartRadio app. Let's just check in on iHeartRadio. Seamless mention of the iHeartRadio app. It's seamless. See, it was back in the iHeartRadio app.

It's a seamless mention. Brilliant. Seamless. As you heard us say now and back then. And prior to that also. They're probably about to mention a bit about the podcast. Well, no, we're just about to mention a bit about the podcast. Oh no, we're just getting to see a little pulse.

It might just be Hayley talking about supermarket shopping and then the podcast. And white women being murdered. That's what I listen to when I supermarket shop. So 28% of people said they do online shopping. 72%, still the vast majority are doing their shopping in person. Hold on, let's just check it on our iHeartRadio

app. See what they're up to. You're streaming. You're a bit of a Wi-Fi situation there. Blame the work Wi-Fi there. It's certainly not the app. It's not the app. It's certainly not the app.

We know the Wi-Fi in the studio is terrible. We know that it works. I'll turn off the Wi-Fi. I've got a 5G. Yeah. Well, no, you're going to miss the bit where we were talking about the app now.

I wonder where we'll be up to now. Here we go. Seamless mention. Ah, Seamless! It's me! I got to the bottom! You were already listening to iHeartRadio!

I'm Seamless! Seamless mention? As you heard us say now and back then. And now! And now! And now. We're deep. We're deep.

Might just be Hayley talking about supermarket shopping and then the podcast and white women being murdered. White women being murdered. Now we're back. Okay, so anyway, Hayley's at the supermarket. I'm in the supermarket. That's how I like to shop in shop. I'm confused.

What's the silly little poll? Where I'm at. Silly little poll. I heart radio. I think I've slipped out of the time loop. We should do a silly little poll. I heart radio. Yes or no? 100%? Of course 100%. Do you prefer online or in store? 72% said in store. Let's get some feedback

on it. Brittany she says it relaxes me walking up and down the aisle finding food that I may not have found before. It's my de-stressor for the week. Yes, I love that. But there's certain types of people though, right the week. Yes, I love that. Yeah. But there's certain types of people though, right? Yeah, Brittany, I didn't think I needed a new toothbrush,

but I've seen a two-pack for $6, so I'd be a madman not to get two toothbrushes. When I have ordered online, I make sure I tick that do not substitute because, man, people get absolutely shafted with that. Did I tell you, so my popper, we went up to his place for Christmas and we tried to order just a small ham, you know, like a ham on the bone, a really small one. They had run out.

They gave us packets of shaved ham. And so the place, Christmas day. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. You can't glaze it once it's already sliced. When you were heading up north and there was no radio frequency, did you use the iHeartRadio app to stream ZM? I'll tell you how easy it is.

I just open up the app and I just press play on ZM, which I found is one of my favourite stations. Yeah. And then it plays. As a commuter. Prefer online or in-store? 72% said in-store. Oh, I'm quite interested in these results.

She says, it relaxes me walking up and down the aisle finding food that I may not have found before. See, we're hearing that again. That's a really good point from Brittany there. Yeah, it really is. So important we heard it twice. Claude says, online means no extras that you don't really need and don't have to deal with crowds or waiting in line. It's all packed up and ready

to go when you arrive to pick it up. Sammy said, because then I won't be able to get any last minute chocolate that wasn't on my list if I do online, so I do in person a little treat myself. Laura said, I have two kids under three. Online is my elite option. I am not going into the store for that shit storm.

Oh, no, no, no. Yeah. Yeah, no, you've absolutely dodged a bullet there. Vicky said, always in store. I once ordered 800 grams of chicken drumsticks online. Yeah. It got substituted for whole chicken legs, which are bigger.

So I got less for my 800 grand. No, because then you get the thigh attached too. I think, to be honest, Vicky, I think you got it better today. She just wanted a nibble though, I think. She wanted to hold the drumstick. Yeah. Right.

I don't want anyone picking my fruit and veg, says Caitlin. Yeah, I'm the same. I spend five minutes on each thing, choosing the best or right one. My boyfriend gets very annoyed with how long it takes. Get your hands off my peach. I'll pick my peach. Yeah, I want to thumb my avocados.

I have a little bit of a look. Not someone else. I want to flip that little top off. That's true, they'll give you a hard avocado because nobody else is picking them up. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and you can't specify when you order it. Ripe. Yeah. Ready for guacamole tonight. Well, I think, yeah, it's quite overwhelming. People prefer to go in. Yeah.

Next on the show, a bit of an experiment. We can play along at home. I need you to get your phones ready. Open up the iHeartRadio app. Well, I mean, you could have the iHeartRadio app open, absolutely. Because it will work at the same time as other apps. It will, Vaughan. I need you to open up Instagram because next on the show,

we're going to find the very first photo that you ever liked on Instagram. Oh no. Oh dear. Oh no. I hope they deleted their account. Yeah. I don't even know what it is. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

But right now, a little social experiment. We can play along. You can do this right now by opening your Instagram app because we're going to find the very first photo that you ever liked on Instagram. God, I wonder what it is. So go to your- Start of 2012 was when I got Instagram.

Yeah. Yeah, something like that. I want to say nipples were allowed then. So if it's a nipple- Liked a lot of nips. I beg for your forgiveness. Yeah, right. It was a different time.

Pre-exposure. There's nipples everywhere. It was a different time on Instagram. Okay. So you need to go to your main page where it's the grid of all your photos. So your profile. Now go to the top right and tap the three lines. That's going to bring up all the options.

And then go to your activity, which is the second one down. Click on that. Am I going too fast for people listening at home? No, no, no, no. This is good. So top three lines in the top right for those that are starting

and then go your activity, which is the second one down and then click interactions, which is the third one down. And then click on likes. And then on the likes. Yeah. And then on the right hand top right, there's likes, sorts and filter.

Yep. Sorts and filter and then go oldest to newest. Okay. And then that's going to bring up on the top left, the very first photo on Instagram that you liked. Well, of course it's a photo of me. You liked your own photo. No, a course it's a photo of me. You liked your own photo. No, a photo that my friend posted of me.

This was my friend Tim. He produced my first ever solo show called Miss Fletcher Sings the Blues. And it's a photo of me, Miss Fletcher, in a t-shirt, a Miss Fletcher Sings the Blues t-shirt, reading the paper with me on the cover. Vanity. That's meta vanity. That's meta. That's so meta.

And I'm in Tauranga. That's the first photo we ever liked in 2013. My one is a photo that Ross Boss put up and he must have been in like I don't know where that is. There's no caption on it. India? It looks like maybe India, yeah.

He was living in Dubai at that time. My first ever photo that I ever liked is a man fully dressed up as a army man on the streets of New York City. That's cool. I don't even know who that account is. Brian DeFeo,

Instagram marketing pioneer and retired influencer. You're always like, how do I find these? Man, there are some terrible filters. Yeah. We all use terrible filters. Remember before Instagram, there was Hipstamatic. Do you remember Hipstamatic?

Yeah. And it wasn't its own social media, but you exported from Hipstamatic to Twitter and Facebook and maybe even the Biebs back in the day. And it put big X-Pro2 filters on it. Ricky Gervais. I've got a photo of Ricky Gervais as David Brent. Producers, what's the first Instagram photo you ever liked? I think that was, we've all escaped pretty good there.

Yeah. Mine was some calamari. Bit of calamari. Okay. Producer Jared, good calamari. A bit of calamari. Okay. Producer Jared? Good calamari rings. Margot Robbie. What year would this have been?

2012-ish. Early Margot Robbie. Neighbours Margot Robbie? Yeah, I think so. Oh, you were on board early. Karwen? I didn't get Instagram until my first year of uni, so it's just a picture of one of my, at the time, new flatmates.

Did you know you can do this with your comments as well? Oh, God, no. Please, no. My comment is on a picture at the Spates Ale House in Ashburton. Ashburton, we have arrived. Hashtag tour life. I was touring my show, Miss Fletcher Sings the Blues. Wow.

Wow. Well, anyway, it's all there. Instagram does not forget. It doesn't forget. Well, in a heterosexual love connection, typically you would say, historically even, the man's always made the first move. And according to a study from Bumble,

the dating app, that's still the case that 52% of people believe that men are still expected to take the lead when it comes to making the first move and in the boudoir and just in general. Right. Whereas 8% expected the same

from women. Don't know what happened to the other percent they just didn't say anything. No neutral on the matter. Only 8% expect that women make the first move. Still. I made the first move with Aaron. I've always made the first move with most of my... Well, you just go out and get what you want.

You're bold. You're a bold gal who knows what she wants. I see it and I'm going to climb that mountain. And I put on my hiking gear and I get up there. Yeah, rein them in. Okay. Should I make the first move? No, not really.

No, it was me who made the first move. Yeah. Did you pester her for a bit? Yeah, really wore her down. Shawshanked her. Yeah. Chip away. It's real. When you think about for a bit. Yeah, really wore her down. Shawshanked her. Yeah. Chip away. It's real.

When you think about making a move. It's pretty hot when women make the first move. Yeah. Yeah, you like it. Women take command. Yeah. Yeah. A dominating woman.

But do you think that women expect the man to make the first move? Yeah, I don't think it's like, I think it is on both sides. Right. But I would say more women get out there and blimmin', just give it an absolute red hot go. Yeah. I remember the first time I ever made a move, I was 19 years old and there was a hot coffee guy.

And I went there and I tried to give him my number under a $5 note for my coffee. Then he tried to pick me up by giving me a free coffee. And I was like, no, because I'm doing this. Oh, because the number. Because it was like the $5 note and the number. Wait, you wrote it on the $5 note? No, it was like a little note that I tucked under the number.

I was trying to slide it. And he was like, you know what? This one's on you. Because I think we'd been flirting for a bit. We've been flirting. And then I was like, but I'm trying to pick you up. And he was trying to pick me up. And I was like, I'm going first.

And then I sort of very, with very little elegance, shoved the $5 and then I ran away. And did you ever get a call? I got more than a call. He got a flat white. He got a flat white to go. I got a flat white and a call. Hello.

Anna, you say that you low-key made the first move. Yeah, so we were flatmates and had a big night out, drunk and pash, and then I went back to my respective bedroom at maybe like three or four o'clock. Wow, that's so strong. That's so brave. And then...

Resist, resist, resist. Yeah, that's so strong. And then messaged him on Snapchat. But like, you know, when you Snapchat notifies the other person when you're typing, I just sort of like lay out a bit of burly. So I didn't actually send a message. It just like looked like I was typing. And then I backed face and I was like, he, he, he.

And then I waited. And then he came in. And said, were you typing something? And he was like, oh, should we chat? I was like, should we chat? I was like, should we chat? A bit of a light chat. And they say romance is dead.

No, yeah, a few dot dot dots. Snapchat, it lives on. So we wanted to ask this morning, you know, are you one of the few women that are making that first move? And how did you do it? Yeah, did you make the first move? Did you dot dot dot someone? Did you

shove an awkward note in their hand? How did you do it? And did it go well? So only 8% of women have made the first move. Yeah, well that's the expectation and well, we think it's a bit silly. We think we should get out there and give it a nudge. There is like

the dating app Bumble. That's women have to send the first message. Yes, but Jared, when we mentioned that, that Bumble who have done this survey. Well, he's not on there now. He's not on there now, obviously. No, obviously not. Jared, oh no.

But Jared, you said that that's not always the case. Oh, he's on the phones. Oh, he's on the phone. Don't worry. Yeah, he said quite often people will just send like an emoji. Yeah, the gal will just be like, hi, and then. The heavy lifting. And then the heavy lifting goes back to the phone. Oh, he's on the phone. Don't worry. Yeah, he said quite often people will just send like an emoji. Yeah, the gal will just be like, hi, and then. The heavy lifting. And then the heavy lifting goes back to the guy.

They know. They know they don't have to. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I suppose it's sort of opening the door, isn't it? But then you've got to do the walking. Yeah. A lot of messages.

Man, some of these are intense. Too intense? Are we being too intense? So glad I slammed a smooch on my now hubby's face When we first met Four years married Sixth baby on the way Holy

Sixth What are they driving? A bongo? You've got to get a van A sport pack We've talked about the Mitsubishi sport pack And what a wonderful car it was That must be one hell of a kiss

That's why I don't have kids, because I've only got a bicycle. There's no room for them. No, you can't. There's no room. You can't get one of those little trailers. I don't know. I don't have a trailer. Lazy.

Great for the quads. Great for the quads. Oh, yeah, that's true. Turn around a couple of kids. I was working in a local sports club at 18. I asked a cute boy where he was from, because I liked his English accent. Went to town with him that night 16 years later, and three kids later, here we are. That's a nice story. We love to hear it. Anonymous, you made the first move? I did. Okay, so what did you say? How did you do this? What was

your move? So we were at a sweet 16th party years ago. I was drunkenly walking around sort of looking for him because I thought he was pretty hot. Found him in a bedroom sitting on the floor with his girlfriend. I walked in and said, oh, my God, I just have to say your boyfriend is so hot. Oh, my God. And that was that. Left it at that. A couple months later, I found out we were both single.

So I messaged him and said, hey, long time no talk. And then, yeah. You know what you want. Yeah. This is another. Here we are. Another wahine had her flag planted in him and you let her know that if this country ever. You've conquered the wrong.

That's my mountain. Yeah. Wait, so how many years later you're still together? Seven. Almost seven. Oh. I love that. Yeah.

Thanks, guys. Well done. Good on you. See, making the move, it pays off. It does. Thank you, Anonymous. More messages. Definitely made the first move 22 years ago, New Year's Eve.

My now husband was leaning on the smoke machine. I went over and wished him a happy new year and had a cheeky little hash. The club, the smoke machine. I don't know. He's leaning on the smoke machine. That thing makes my throat very dry. Oh, I thought you meant those places where you can put money in and get ciggy out of the machine.

Well, you know what? No confirmation whether or not it was the artificial smoke machine or the ciggy dispenser. Yeah, 22 years though. Been married since, three kids, and expecting our first grandchild soon. Oh, wow. Good for you. Yeah! See, pays to make the first move.. Oh, wow. Good for you.

See, pays to make the first move. Come on, ladies. Get out there. I got really drunk and basically jumped my now husband. We'd known each other since 2002. Yeah. And we've been together 11 years. Oh, these are all lovely stories, aren't they? We've known each other and they must have just

been like... I love that all the women are like, I had a few drinks and then, bit of Dutch courage. Yeah, totally. Somebody else said, I first, somebody else pinched somebody else's partner there. Just made it very well known that I wanted her man.

Oh, nice. Okay. Then there was an argument and I got what I wanted. Wow. So, a little upgrade there. That's a lot. And it feels like it's definitely something you're going to throw in his face at a later date. Absolutely. Yeah. When you just walk away from your last girlfriend, you're going to do that to me now?

I made the first move by inviting him on a holiday to Tonga because I needed a travel buddy. Oh, you don't go on holiday with someone you don't know. Straight away. Come on, that could have gone badly. Oh, you don't go on holiday with someone you don't know. That could have gone badly. Straight away. Someone said, I used to lurk on this guy's Facebook page reacting to all his uploaded photos with a wow emoji. I just kept doing that until he DM'd me.

Wow. That was very subtle, wasn't it? Yeah. Wow. I want. Yes, please. Wow. Wow.

Yum, yum, yum. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, please. Wow. Wow. Yum, yum, yum. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, it's out today, the new Michael Bay movie, Ambulance. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. And they're on Zoom with us now, and because they're action stars,

we'll do this the proper way. Lights, camera. Nice. We don't have slates. We don't have slates. We don't have slates, but we've been given these handy hands. What kind of show are you guys running over there? Sound speed. Action.

What time is it over there is the question. It's in the morning time. It's in the a.m. 9.22. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. So it's a wonderful time. 9.22. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. So it's always great if it was late. A wonderful time. A wonderful time. I'm going to be as early as it was late and you all were delirious. We're delirious either way, Yaya. We wake up delirious. We go to bed delirious.

Around the clock delirium. Yeah. How are both of you guys this morning? We're great. It's 9.22. There's literally no better time. I'm psyched. I'm good.

Wait, so it's 9.22 where you are? No, here. No. Yeah, I know the time here, but I thought it might be p.m. I thought you might be doing the p.m. It's 1.22. 1.22. It's 4.22 where Yaya is.

It's probably 4.23 now. Yaya It's 4.22 where Yaya is. It's probably 4.23 now. Yaya and Jake, you two aren't in the same room together. Was it? What an astute observation, Hayley. No, I was just wondering if. Hayley, we are in the same room. We're just on different time zones.

Right. Wow. Right. America, it's freaky the way you guys do it over there. Well, it's freedom. It's freedom freedom It's freedom He's in the matrix and so he can do all that stuff That's what it is

Yeah, yeah, you're over watering that plant Because you've got some dead leaves Yeah, you need to pull back on that Wow Look at that Look, I went out of town For a couple weeks I came back and I just wanted to show my guy love.

He's going to be cool. Don't even worry about what's going on. No, I'd trim those off if I were you. Yeah, cut them off. They're sucking the energy out of the other leaves. You're not going to get new growth with all that dead growth. It's Indoor Planting 101. I already like this show.

I already like this show. I'm not going to get in trouble for like... The attention paid to the detail and the environmentalism is I think you know that's a plant am I going to get in trouble for like plant that's good and you pulled it off at the join that's well done actually

you're really giving it some love you can just chuck that on the floor that's dead don't care too much for that should we talk about ambulance I think we should I think you keep talking about Yaya's plants. It's the most radio show I've ever been on where Yaya's plants is in the subject of conversation.

We're big plant people. It's great. Let's talk about ambulance. I think my favourite line in the whole movie was, you can't wear Birkenstocks to a bank robbery. Can we talk about your favourite casual wear? Yeah, what's your footwear of choice? Favourite casual footwear.

Would you do a Birkenstock in everyday life? Can we talk about casual footwear? Yeah, I prefer socks. You use your socks. But you wouldn't go to the store in a sock? Oh, but you know what? Uggs. I got a pair of Uggs for the Uggs,

like house shoes when I went to Australia for the first time. And it was sort of like a welcome gift. Oh, we love an Uggs for the Uggs, Uggs, like house shoes when I went to Australia for the first time and it was sort of like a welcome gift. Oh, we love an Ugg. Yeah, New Zealanders love an Ugg. I love a Birkenstock. I have to say, I love a Birkenstock. I mean, you know, there's really nothing better. In fact, there was a moment where

I was thinking of renting an apartment above a Birkenstock store and I thought, ooh. No, dangerous. Dangerous. Dangerous. It's like when you live above a Birkenstock store, and I thought, ooh, that's dangerous. No, dangerous. Dangerous. Not a good idea. Dangerous. It's like when you live above a fast food place, you know, you're just constantly eating there.

If you live above a Birkenstock shop, you're just down there every five minutes for a new pair of Birks. Yeah. Okay, now let's focus on this movie they've made. Let's focus. What does director Michael Bay have against cars? This guy must have destroyed close to 100,000 cars in his movie career. And this movie is no exception.

Well, I think there's no drama in, you know, in keeping a car intact. People are into the action movie business. So, you know, if you got the toys, you got to break the toys. It's just like when you're a little kid, you know, and you're playing with two of the, you know, toy cars, and you gotta make them crash, and you make them race, and you flip them, and then you do it all over again. So it's no different.

Is it on a set when you're seeing, like, cars, just, do you ever get used to that, being on an action set and just seeing cars, boom, explode, flip, get airborne? Is it still as exciting as when you first got into the industry? On a Michael Bay movie, when you see a car on set, particularly if it's a nice one, you sort of cringe because you know it's gone. You know, in a matter of moments

it's going to be destroyed. You just got to walk by and just give it a salute. Thank it for its service. Yeah, yeah. He has a very particular penchant, I guess I would say, for destroying things. And it is, like Yaya said, it's very, in the end, it's very safe, but it's very playful in this weird way where,

you know, I remember the way he shoots movies is so infectious. Everything he does is full of so much energy. And so the people who are stunt driving and the people who are doing all that stuff, it's really, it's very fun. Like even though he, every, I don't know, there wasn't a moment on the movie where there was a stunt going on

where it was all safe, but there was a real sense of play. I'm so arrogant. If I was an actor on a set like that, I'd be like, let me have a go. Michael, put me behind the wheel. I think I can do this. Well, Yaya did do it.

Yeah, you know, I think me and you probably would probably sit in the same boat, you know, because why not try? I mean, you have to try. Have a go. Yeah. You know, you have to try. As long as it's safe or as long as you think you're safe, you know, and you deal with the consequences later.

But fortunately, fortunately, we were all, you know... You made it out alive. This is the fast and loose talk of a guy that goes away and gets nobody to water his houseplants. So you guys play stepbrothers in the film. When you leave a set like this and you've spent all this time having so much fun together,

do you still have that brotherly bond together? We didn't get to spend as much time together as we'd like to because we shot during pandemic, so we'd go to work, we'd hang out, and then we wouldn't be able to hang out outside of work. Everyone just went back to their respective bubbles and then came back for work. So it wasn't the

same kind of thing we had, but we haven't really been able to, we connected and we really, I love working with Yaya, but we really haven't really fully connected until very, during this press tour for the movie and really been able to like, we spent hours upon hours with each other

and I've learned about how uncaring he is to plants. Yeah, we've learned it too. That's all i'm hearing you know you know who looks after his plants tom holland so i think you just stick with being buddies from buddies with him from the movie yeah i think so yeah look how time's up you've got you've got you've got plants to fertilize and care for um we'll leave you to it hey Hey, we love the movie, guys. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us this morning.

Thank you. Thanks for having us. Hayley's version. Woo! Woo! Song sung with different lines. Well, it was a real out-of-the-blue announcement yesterday, wasn't it? Was it out-of-the-blue, though?

Because when you look at a job like that, wouldn't you walk away right now? Oh my God, I would have walked away a long time ago. But that's probably why I would never have a job like that. Yeah, Ashley Bloomfield yesterday announcing that he's stepping down from the role in July. Yes, Director General of Health. He has been quite

honest about why. He said it's the stress of it, basically. Well, I mean... Dude, I don't think you owe anybody an explanation. No, I think we all get it, right? No, basically. Well, I mean... Dude, I don't think you owe anybody an explanation. No, I think we all get it, right? No, exactly. He said, right at the very start in 2020, he talked about how he used to wake up

at 3 o'clock in the morning in a hot sweat. That's right. Day after day after day. No, no COVID. The stress of trying to save the lives of 5 million people who were like, I don't want to stay outside all the time. Oh, it'd be horrible. I know he was paying a lot of money, but still.

Was he? Yeah, it's like close to the Prime Minister. I think it's close to. That's not enough money for him. No, no, no. That job should be paid like millions. I think we're looking at a knighthood in the eye. Oh, absolutely.

Right? Absolutely. Surely. As far as public servants go, serving your country, couldn't have asked for more. You couldn't have asked for more. The other two that also left, Dr. Carolyn McElnay. Yeah, she sometimes does the press conferences.

She sometimes does the presser. And Public Health Deputy Director, Dr. Nicky Stephanogenous. Stephanogenous. That's what he is. Stephanogenous. Stephanogenous. That's what he is. Stephanogenous. Stephanogenous. I would have given it a week and gone after. Nah, do you get all at the same time?

See, I'm a glory hog, so I would have wanted my fair share of the attention. I would have left after the first week when someone said something mean about me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is, of course, incredibly sad. And that is why you've chosen this week. I just thought, like,

You were a public servant whose name we actually knew. And now it's time that the public serves you. You're so much more than the case numbers guy we watched every day and you're the reason why.

Wow. So good. Goose bumps around the nation. Goose with tears. People are messaging in there. I don't know why they're crying, but they're crying. It's James Blunt. It's not me.

It's Blunt. It's the dulcet piano times. It's Blunt and Bloomfield. Yeah. What a combo. The B-Boys. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the boring billion.

The boring billion The barren billion The dumbest Dullest, sorry Dullest time in Earth's history Or the Earth's middle age Is a time period between 1.8 and 0.8 billion years ago Oh, okay

Here on Earth And it was boring Yep Nothing happened In the lead up to it Four and a half billion years ago Earth was formed Water water followed soon after. By God.

I think that's a six and a half thousand. Oh, that's disputed. Meteorites hit, some oxygen formed three and a half billion years ago. Far out. Yeah, there was some glaciation two and a half billion years ago. Atmospheric oxygen formed. Sexual reproduction two billion years ago. Atmospheric oxygen formed. Sexual reproduction two billion years ago. Fungi formed.

And then the brakes went on. And for a billion years, nothing happened. What stopped it? They don't know. There might have been the lack of oxygen. There was very little glacier on the earth. It may have just been like all of the ice on the earth was in water form. So they just went, the earth was like

I've done everything. I can do it for a bit. Yeah, just went a bit chill. And chilled out for a billion years. Did nothing. The fungi was there, so maybe it was fungi. They weren't such fungi after all. And for a billion years we kind of stalled and nothing happened. Then the plants and

then the animals and then another couple of ice ages and then the Cambrian explosion and then it was on, baby. We were back. And we're back and then it gets up to here. Primates, birds, flowers. Right. Melting polar ice caps. Yeah, the lot.

Pollution. The rising sea tides. Yeah, human. All those billions of years and then we took such a short time to stuff it all up. Record time. Yeah. Dinosaurs walked around for, you know, hundreds of millions of years and then we took such a short time to stuff it all up. Record time. Yeah. Dinosaurs walked around for, you know, hundreds of millions of years.

Yeah, man. Plotted around, wiped out by a... How long have we been around, homo sapiens? A little while, but, you know, in our current form society as it is, a few hundred years and we've just really set about ruining the place. Awesome. You know, it's like they had some good tenants for all that time. Yeah.

And they were like, oh, the good tenants are like, we're moving out, we've saved up, we've got a deposit for our first home. Yeah. Reluctant, put it on thing. Get some young people who seem to, you know, sell themselves quite well. Because young, they might stay there for a while.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you come around and they've had a big party and the house is just in absolute shambles. That's us with the world right now. In absolute shambles. So yeah, there was, today's fact of the day is just in absolute shambles. That's us with the world right now. In absolute shambles. So, yeah, today's fact of the day is there was a billion-year period where bugger all happened on earth. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- This is a board game. Oh, it's incredible. I can't believe you guys haven't played Catan. No, I've always wanted to, but yeah, we're not board game playing people. Oh, you will love this. Because we fight too much. Oh, this is a real fighting game. It's trade, you know, like trading. You've got wood, I've got stone, wheat and all that kind of stuff. And you trade. Sexy stuff.

Claim, claim forests. Yep. And take over the world. Take over the world. Okay. And anyway, the original Catan box, they did an updated version, but there's a woman on the front, like a

sort of peasant looking woman heading up the road to get some hay. And it's my face. It is my face. Well, we put this on our Instagram, FEHZM, and yeah, a lot of feedback. Look, everyone's saying like, yes, it looks absolutely like you. And we thought, is this a thing?

Because it got us talking. Vaughn and I have the famous photo of the Canadian soldiers kissing. Yes. And it's very unusual that two people look like two people who work together. In one photo. That's even harder. And people were like, have you guys enlisted in the Canadian Army? Like, we didn't even know you'd left your wife born for flesh

Let alone move to Canada to be in the Army Yeah, let alone how do you do your radio show when you're in the Army in Canada All these questions It's quite confronting when you see someone that looks like Have you ever run into someone in public and you've gone Oh, that guy kind of looks like me I remember there was that doco series that connected doppelgangers From around the world that weren't related in any remember there was that doco series that connected doppelgangers from around the world that weren't

related in any way. Where was that? It was in the UK and they did these full tests on them, like scanning their face and actually looking at how much they looked alike. Did they end up doing DNA tests on them? Yeah, they did and they weren't related. Not even

like way up the tree. Not even a bit. I mean, you know, it was like white people, white people. There's seven billion people on earth. There's only so many faces. There's so many noses. But you know, you see a face and you're like, that's a type of face

that I've seen before and you're like, oh yeah, she's got that face and a lot of people have that face. I just said this to a guy the week and I was like, have we met before? He's like, no,

but I get this all the time. I've got that face. I've got that face. I got also sent some, a stock image of a woman laughing in the wind. And I can't find it again, but I was so convinced it was me. It looked so much like me that I was trying to go back

and remember what photo shoot that was from. I was like, man, I don't even remember that photo shoot being taken, let alone it being used as stock imagery. Well, this is what we wanted to ask this morning. Have you ever run into yourself? Yeah. Like seen a photo of yourself or someone that looks like you, like you've found a doppelganger.

Yes. It could be. Is this an impossible phoner or is this going to be? No. Wildly possible. How in at the social media desk looks exactly like that giant World War I nurse at the Te Papa exhibition. This is bullying.

No, you do, though. There's similarities. And you said when that first went in Te Papa, you were in a play where you were playing it. Oh, you were doing an Anzac. Yeah, we were doing a show that based around stories from Anzac. And I was playing a nurse. And I wore the cape and the outfit.

And then the exhibit came out at the same time and everyone was like do you know you look like her? You modelled for Richard Taylor in the Weta Workshop. Maybe they did model

for you. I don't know. Maybe you could get some royalties from Weta Workshop. Yeah, that's what Peter Jackson That's what you want to do

to the National Museum and World War I memorants. Just walk in. Give me money. Hey, recognise me.

Alright, so I'll let HunterDiles.com we want you to give us a call or text in 9696. When have you seen your face somewhere and thought,

oh my God, that looks so much like me? Whether it's a billboard or a person. What if it was a police sketch? Or a police sketch. Oh yes. Police 10-7.

Yes. Like that famous one of the newsreader being like the suspect's drawing, and it comes up, and it's him. Yeah. Right now, though, talking about when you have run into yourself. Yes, and now I've just, remember I said that I'm the girl on the... Stock image. Stock image of Catan, and I'm a stock image.

That's young Hayley. Tell me it's not. Oh, yeah, that'm a stock image. That's young Hayley. Tell me it's not. Oh, yeah, that does look like you. It's young Hayley. Just shaking off your goth era there. A bit perkier than mine. Oh, really? Yeah, up towards the throat, for God's sake.

When have you run into yourself, either like a doppelganger, someone that looks like you, or a photo? Joined this morning now by Alex. Good morning, Alex. Hey. Where did you see yourself? So in the Carola Hospital maternity ward as you walk in, like I was visiting

a girlfriend who had just had a baby. And as you walk in, there's like this enormous photo plastered on the wall that I swear is me. And it's like a couple and their baby, but the guy and the baby are not mine. It's just like an identical picture of me. It was so bizarre.

And I had my baby there as well. Right, and it's just a stock image they got from the internet. Yeah, I have no idea. Like, it's just... Do you want this, mate? It's a girl that's in that photo. Like, if we could meet, that'd be great. Is her partner hotter than yours?

Is he a better looking dude than you're dude? Oh, nah. Nah. Good, right answer. Do I have to say that because I'm on the radio? Yeah, you do. Absolutely. Wink, wink.

Wow. But yeah, I mean, because imagine if she's local. Yeah, I know. Well, that's what I thought too. That opens some questions about are you related? You'd have to bring them home to your father and be like, hmm? This one? Yeah.

Oh, my God. Imagine it. All right, Alex, thanks for your call. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 to get to more of those next. We're talking about when you've seen yourself either in an image or you've run into your doppelganger. Your doppelganger.

Yeah, I'm a stock image woman. The name of the stock image I am is happy, relaxed woman breathing deep, fresh air on the beach. That's me. And you've got a big watermark all over your face. I do have big watermarks. So we asked you, where have you seen your face and gone, did I do it?

Is that me? Is that me? Surely that's me. It's not me. It's really weird when you run into someone in real life that's so much like you. You're just like, I've had that before. I'm just like, this is weird. You have to sort of give them like a, hey, mate. No, it's awkward. I just try not to look at them.

Can't look at your own face. Am I in some kind of weird movie or something? I had some messages in. My parents said they saw me in the newspaper. I was in an ad. And they said, I didn't know you'd done that ad. And I was like, what are you talking about? I didn't do an ad. And I laughed it off. And then they kept you'd done that ad. And I was like, what are you talking about? I didn't done an ad.

And I laughed it off. And then they kept it and they showed it. And it was like me. It fooled my parents. Wow. It was so much like me. I was reading an article about a woman who murdered her entire family. And when it got to the photo, well, that was me in that photo,

except she had a different name and lived in the US. But she looked exactly like me, the woman who had murdered her whole family. Oh, wow. We have a mate that looks exactly like me, the woman who had murdered her whole family. Oh, wow. We have a mate that looks exactly like Vaughn and we play a game called Joe or Vaughn. Again, that's just with bald dudes and beards. It's just the beard, yeah. This guy looks exactly like you.

I'm like, not anything in common. Not in anything. No. Apart from the beard and the bald. Quite often they don't have the cute button nose. Oh, I know those startling eyes. It's the two nose that sells the picture. Karin, good morning.

Have you run into yourself? Oh, it was a picture. It was a promo photo at Rainbow's End. Oh, okay. And you don't remember doing that marketing photo shoot? Definitely not because they weren't my kids on that, Lou. She was running so fast. And I have a good time when I'm at Rainbow Six.

That's fine. But I don't know whose damn kids those were. And it looked exactly like you. It really did. I actually got a bit creeped out and slightly freaked out. Yeah. And then I became a little bit obsessed with it. Like, is it me?

Is it not me? Maybe that happens. Sort of a fight club situation. You go to sleep and you do all these marketing shots. Well, you start to wonder if you're in some kind of computer simulation, don't you? Where, you know, they're messing with you. Yeah.

To see how you handle this. Well, you know when you become really convinced that you're the star of your own Truman show? Yeah. And I used to have that. Like, people would drive by and be like, I've seen that. You run out of actors.

Curran, thank you. Jordan, have you run into someone that looks like you? Yeah, I didn't actually see myself, but there was this Facebook video going around and it was these young fellas smoking a bong out of a shark. So what? They turned a shark

into a bong. And it looked like you were one of them. Yeah, it looked exactly like me, the culprit. And I was getting DM'd by all these people. Oh, no. You disgusting human, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Oh, my God.

That was a few years ago now, but yeah. So were they New Zealanders that did that? I think it was in Australia, but I'm not too sure. And you looked exactly like him. Yeah, yeah. Curly hair, a bit chubby. Sorry to hear that. I hadn't thought about that when you look like someone

who's done something really horrific. A criminal, that's what you're saying, like a police sketch. Imagine you're like, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me. Yeah, yeah. My mates even bring it out on the piss. Remember that time you turned a shark into a bong? A shark bong. It was him, it was him.

We busted him. Jordan, thanks for your call. Some of the messages. I was at a new school and a teacher came up to me adamant that I should be in form class now and was yelling at me and he was calling me Hazel and I was so confused that I had no idea what to do. So I walked away and went to my form class.

Later finding out there was a girl whose name was Hazel who looked exactly like me. Oh, wow. You found your doppelganger at school. At school. Wow. But also same age as you. Like, hello, Dad's been.

Yeah, he's been spreading the secret. Yeah, that's what somebody else said. Somebody messaged in saying, I was a spitting image for a doctor that was on Shortland Street. And people would even say, oh, you were on Shortland Street. And I wasn't. I wasn was on Shortland Street. And people would even say, oh, you were on Shortland Street. And I wasn't. I wasn't on Shortland Street. We had neighbouring farms growing up in Pukakohe. Or what about those

stories? Through the fence, perhaps. Yeah, definitely. You hear about those doctors that were in charge of the sperm donor programs or the fertiliser. And they just, yeah. Their father had like 50 kids or something. Dirty babies.

Naughty. My dad looks like Chef Al Brown. We went to a fancy restaurant and they gave him heaps of freebies. And I absolutely laid it on, couldn't figure out why. And then when they were leaving, they said to him, thanks so much for coming in, Mr. Brown. He was like. Just roll with it.

I would absolutely be like, you're most welcome. We'll be back tomorrow. Yeah. You can use my name, five stars. Yum, yum, yum. We want to try more. Wait. Five stars, yum, yum, yum.

I will write about this in my next book. There's a giant mural of a girl with a pearl earring on the building in Tauranga and my children always point it out and say, look, mummy, you're on the wall. And somebody else said my two-year-old looked exactly like Prince George and they were the same age. Not so much now, but at the time. Could have been a stand-in. You could have...

I mean, no one's going to nominate their kid as a stand-in for a royal child because I'm imagining you're standing them in because of how dangerous... Just in case they get shot. Yeah. Still, can make some money. If you're looking to get your baby to make you some money, they could be the one that gets shot instead of the royals. I mean, that's great for them.

They can have a little university fund. Exactly. Or be dead. And then it's your university fund. Well, there's pros and cons in everything in life. See the world. Are you a two-year-old that wants to see the world?
