The ZM Podcast Network. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. I cannot even believe I'm about to say this, but we are joined by TLC. Welcome to the show, T-Boz and Chili. Thank you. Hi. Yes. Wow.

Actually, beside myself, I've been a long-time fan of TLC ever since the 90s. Not to make any of us feel old. We're not old. We're just properly seasoned. Well seasoned performers. We love it well seasoned. Marinated. We've all marinated in the

90s and 2000s. Nicely marinated. Nice and tender and just perfect, just ready. We're dry aged. I feel like this has just turned into a conversation with the butcher. Now, ladies, we haven't seen you for a while. You were here in 2016, and I don't think you'd been here before that, had you, in New Zealand? Oh, New Zealand?

No, that was the first time. Wow. Yeah, that was the first time. Wow. Yeah, that was the first time, I believe. A lot has changed. Well, nothing changes in New Zealand, really, at a rapid pace. It's still the same. Are you excited? Are you excited to come down this side of the earth?

Absolutely. Yes. I think, you know what, the last time we were there, which was the first time, I remember when we left the next day, you guys had a tsunami warning or something. Oh, yeah. We loved those.

I was like, what the heck? Did you have to find a hill? Oh, you had left by then. Yeah, they were on the plane taking off and we all just got swamped. I remember it. Yeah. I was like, yeah. TLC just left.

And so how have you guys been finding it? Because you guys were our special guests at Glastonbury. How was that? Oh, my God, it was amazing. That was absolutely amazing. And then we found out we broke some records there. So we were like, wow. We were like, yeah.

With attendance for the stage that we were on, and we found out as soon as we walked off stage. Oh, my God. So that was awesome. It was amazing watching the footage and seeing people, you know, like watching No Scrubs and then seeing people who definitely weren't even born when No Scrubs came out, and they're singing every single word. Like a lot of

your music has stood the test of time did you feel that oh yeah we definitely felt the love i mean it was everybody was singing all of our songs you know from the first album and i mean they were singing along with us and um you know and a lot of people that were there obviously have never seen us, you know, perform before. And so it was, I'm telling you, it was amazing. That crowd was crazy. Oh, my gosh. I've got a comment on the wardrobe as well. You both look incredible.

T-Boys, you've got this like these chains everywhere. Chili, you're rocking a cropped number. Thank you. I'm just saying you guys, you're hot. You're keeping a cropped number. Thank you. I'm just saying, you guys, you're hot. You're keeping it hot. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

When you come down to see us, obviously you're in great company with a lot of amazing artists. Are you going to be playing us all of your bangers or are there some surprises in there? Can you give us a little tease of what we can expect well usually i would say a high energy show it'll be like we're at a backyard barbecue all together at one like house party all together you'll feel as one like um like we're just sharing one big stage together i think it's a good. People leave and they have a good feeling when they leave our shows. You know what I mean?

And I think you have a different range of emotions throughout the show. It's like riding a happy roller coaster. That's what I like to call it. But overall, a very good, energetic time. Again, I don't want to make you feel old, but do you find it harder now than you i don't want to make you feel old but do you find it harder now than you did when you guys first formed as a band like to give all of yourself and all of that energy and emotion to a huge crowd like that do you still get that same rush

of adrenaline or is it a little bit harder now oh no i mean same rush of adrenaline because that's like our second home that's where we belong like that's second because that's like our second home. That's where we belong. Like that's second nature. That's like a part of us. But on the other side of things, what about like sore knees and sore backs? Like, yeah, my knees and backs aren't what they were in the 90s. You know, I could sleep on the floor upside down in a pile. But now it's just like a couple of loose hours on a bad pillow and i'm out for a day even our dancers they're like very young just you know dancing is is very athletic it's like being an athlete no matter what age you are like we'll have a 19 year old a 19 year old out there living like our dance is hard so i can't really say it's age. I'll just say our dances are hard. Wow. And it's going to feel. It looks a lot easier than it is, you know, because we've had many dancers, you know, along the years to tell us that.

And, you know, I mean, obviously that's all we know. But at the end of the day, you just have to you have to take care of yourself. And if you stop moving, you get stiff, you know? So you got to do the right things. I mean, obviously age at some point will set in, but a lot of times people don't take care of their bodies. They just don't do it. They don't make them like they used to.

I'll say it. The two guys here can't even touch their toes anymore, guys. I mean, it's not good. I just have to like bend my knees have a sit down and then take a few minutes take a couple deep breaths and then have a nap after a couple of pain i've had i've had some days like that you just gotta make sure you stretch it on out well we will be in the crowd watching you absolutely singing every single word we are be beside ourselves that you are coming to New Zealand

for Friday Jams Live. Thank you so much TLC. Thank you. I just realised I did the whole show with my headphones on backwards. Well that means the show's backwards then isn't it? We're going to have to play this in reverse. Well should we speak in reverse and hopefully they'll

work out the other way. Give us a review.
