The ZM Podcast Network. The Fleshborn and Hayley Big Pod. Enjoy a refreshing McCafe iced coffee available only from Macca's. Great things are brewing. Thank you, Susu. Good morning. Susu. Just trying out some nicknames for Susie Norquest. Susu Nort Nort. Susu Nort Nort. Susnort-nort. Ah, look, I'll get there. Brainstorm it, I reckon. On the show today, the lovely, joining us in studio after 8 o'clock this morning, the lovely Temuera Morrison. Yes, indeed.

Uncle Tem. Uncle Tem. Very excited about this. He's always so great. He brings. He's so lovely. He brings a chaotic energy to an interview because he is just a train on a track and you're just watching the train on the track and you'll try to get him off the track

and he's like, I'm on the track, baby. I am Uncle Tim the train. What a dude. That's going to be fun. We're going to chat to him this morning after 8 o'clock because of Aquaman. This isn't going to be one of those, I was actually, Jason's going to walk in situations, is it? No. I am not it today.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, no. The boobs are out, though. I did have to warn the boys. I was distracting breasts. We're under strict instructions from you never to surprise you with a Jason Momoa interview. Never.

Never. Okay. We know why. We know why. Never. Coming up on the show, Gen Z have said goodbye to something according to a new study. This is very interesting, I think.

And they are getting on board with something that's like well before their time. Something that I thought was going to be winding up. Yeah, I just thought most people's parents were into this kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. It's something a little bit old fashioned. Sign of the times, perhaps. Well, Spotify wrapped was what, a few weeks ago? That's kind of calmed down now, but there's a PlayStation wrapped.

Got an email from PlayStation yesterday saying, do you want to see how many hours you played PlayStation this year? And I said, not really. And they told me anyway. This is confronting. It is, but I have just heard from a mate. He sent the screencap of how many hours him and his son have collectively played PlayStation this year. And you need to check yourself.

Blue mine out of the water. Well, producer Jared's got his. We'll compare, Vaughn, you with him. Yep. Confronting numbers. I bet it's rough. I only just realised that Dakota Johnson's dating Chris Martin. Has been for years.

I didn't know that at all. No, she was the one in Fifty Shades, eh? Correct. That's her. Don Johnson's daughter. Yes. And what's her name? Melanie Griffith.

So she's a nepo, baby. What? Yeah, she is nepo, baby. What? Yeah, she is nepo to the wazoo. Well, Dakota Johnson was doing an interview and one of those like get to know you type things and she said that she gets 14 hours sleep a night. What? Now, she needs it. She said she cannot function with less than 10.

That's twice as much sleep as I would get. Easy. I went to bed at 11.30 last night. That's not good for you. Four and a half to five hours. That's not enough. That's bad. We're working on that next year.

I would do six in general, seven on a good night. 14. That is insane. I could not sleep in general, seven on a good night. 14. That is insane. I could not sleep that long. Your body wouldn't let you. No, I just wake up. Like I get seven and a half, eight is perfect. I feel great when I get that much.

Yeah, same, same. And I'm like, that's plenty. If it's been a week of not enough sleep, I might sleep 10 hours. God, oh my God. Imagine that. That'd be nice. Imagine that. On a weekend, I can go long. But you could never do 14 on a weekend.

Not only could you never do it, you shouldn't. You're not supposed to. Most healthy adults need at least 7 hours of sleep each night. That's your kind of base. People vary, like some people can go and weigh less and their body is happy and some need a bit more. Teenagers need more. Like I know people that just function on

like 4 or 5. I'm like, how? And they're like, I'm fine. Are they functioning or are they surviving? Well, I don't know. Are they thriving or are they surviving? But 14 hours. 14 hours. More than half the day.

Sleep experts are like, universally agree it's too much. Yeah. It's not good for you. It's being lazy. But is she taking like some kind of sleep aid, like a sleeping pill or... Propofol? I don't know. She, honestly, it makes me dislike

it a little bit. I don't know why there's something so like wanky about it. Also, you only get to live one life. So you've got 80 years of good times. Yeah. You're sleeping for more than half of it. Yeah. Because when there's an ad for a bed it's always like, you spend a third of your life in beards.

She's spending over half. She's spending over half. Yeah. Well over half. Unconscious. God, no. She seems quite boring, eh? She seems boring.

But weird. She seems weird. Yeah, she's odd. I'm trying not to speak ill of people. Yeah, right. But. Since when have you been trying not to speak ill of people? Well, I just imagine like, you know what it's like,

Chris Martin's like, what are new podcasts we can listen to? And she's like, well, I was actually going to go to bed. And he's like, oh, let's listen to a podcast. And then he's like, from New Zealand, there's a radio show. And then they put it on and the first thing they hear is us, like, laying into it. Now, I know that I'm getting away on myself there. She's probably nodded off. She's probably not enough.

She's probably not enough because she's got 14 hours of sleep left. Put it this way. If she was to go to bed, if she wanted to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, right, which is a very respectable time, nice and early but not horrendous, she's got to bed at 5 p.m. Yeah, that's ridiculous. When are you eating dinner? Yeah. So she goes to bed. He only eats that's ridiculous when are you eating dinner yeah

so she goes to bed he only eats once a day Chris Martin only eats once a day so are they eating lunch and then just popping off to bed for 13, 12 hours I'm going to say I mean if you're listening to

get a life you know what I mean live your life get out there that is like up there with some of the longest long haul flights you can take yeah that'd be

that'd be helpful then that'd be handy that would be helpful then. That'd be handy. That would be helpful then to sleep for an entire 14-hour flight. The rest of the time. Yeah. Get a grip. Get a grip. She says she prioritises sleep.

It's her number one priority. Over everything. Over literally living. Yeah. I prioritise sleep. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Hi. Hi. Hi. The prioritize sleep. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley. Hey. Hey.

Hey. The end of the year. Raps are out. Spotify raps. All your rap raps. Yesterday's PlayStation. Sony emailed me and they say, hey, here's your year in PlayStation. And I was like, you know, I would have thought it wouldn't have been one of my biggest PlayStation

years. Right. Why? You've been out and about a lot. I've got a lot of things on my plate. Keeping a lot of balls in the air. You do a lot of stuff outside on the farm let. Totally.

There's no pandemic. But then the weather was really, really bad. Yeah, that's true. So it turns out. And continues to be. Turns out to not be. I'll put it that way. Turns out it was a big

PlayStation year for me I played PlayStation For 338 hours Far out It is so confronting Isn't it? Like That's a lot of sitting down

That is Two entire weeks Non-stop Of the year Basically an hour a day You know You're heading towards An hour a day

Yeah There's some days Where I didn't play And then some days Where I would sit down and play for hours But then most days I'd watch two or three eps of something After dinner Yeah And so that's probably getting up there for me

Sitting on the couch watching TV Yeah, TV's a passive It's more passive Games are you quite intensely concentrating on A lot of people have the Netflix app or the streaming apps on their PlayStation. Does that include streaming as well? I don't believe so because

producer Jared, you watch through your PlayStation right? All your streaming apps are on your PlayStation? Yeah, I do. And your hours weren't as much as mine? Yeah, I had 216 hours but I know I've watched more anime than that this year. But online?

Was it more online? Okay. I think it's called hentai, isn't it? Yeah, it is hentai. To put this into perspective, if you watch every single episode of Game of Thrones back to back, that would take you two days, 22 hours and 14 minutes. Longer than that. Yeah. That's every single episode back to back. Yeah, take you two days, 22 hours and 14 minutes. Longer than that. Yeah.

That's every single episode back to back. Yeah, no breaks, no sleeps. That's the equivalent you've spent of watching what like Game of Thrones four or five times? Or five. Five times, five and a bit. Yeah, yeah, five times. Wow. But then I looked back and then it tells you

what games you spent the most time playing and I was like, this makes sense because Star Wars Jedi Survivor came out this year. Oh yeah, I remember that. I love that game. I just love being in the Star Wars universe.

You know me. Are you taking... It's like, did you know me? I'm very excited. Uncle Tim's coming in. Yeah, oh, don't talk to him about that, please.

He's here to talk about Aquaman. Yeah, but I want to talk about Boba Fett and... We only have a limited amount of time with him. Captain Red. Face has brought in his Bob I want to talk about Boba Fett. We only have a limited amount of time with him. Captain Red. Face has brought in his Boba Fett helmet. Boba Fett helmet and a Lego thing.

I love a Boba Fett salad. With walnuts. Walnuts, tomatoes. And then Baldur's Gate 3 came out this week. That's my biggest one. I spent 113 hours playing that game. So far, and I'm nowhere near finished. So have people, because you know Spotify rap,

everyone's putting up their screenshots and stuff. Have people been absolutely blowing you away with the hours they've spent online? I said because my mate Orman and his son Arlo, they both use the same PlayStation account. Yep. 683 hours. Far out. And that's only one of their players. That3 hours. Far out. And that's only one of their players.

That's on his PS5. He's got a backup account on the PS4 in case they want to play together. Like they play Fortnite and stuff together. Oh, right. So that's just one whiff. So that's just one PlayStation account and a two PlayStation household. I'm nervous because we've set up his PlayStation. It's in. It's plugged in. It's available to play. Now, he hasn't'm nervous because we've set up his PlayStation. It's in.

It's plugged in. It's available to play. Now, he hasn't been playing because we're busy. But my brother arrives in a couple of days and he's a big gamer and I know he's going

to get Aaron into it and that's it. But it's going to look after him. It's going to look after him and then you can go out to your parties. I know.

We need your Spotify. We need your Hayley wrapped on when you said you were going to be home after just a couple of drinks and then how many hours. you can go out to your parties. I know. Yeah, when did your Spotify, when did your Hayley rapped on when you said you were going to be home after just a couple of drinks and then how many hours that, and then let him have the equipment and gaming. Shadows, it's not many hours,

but very intense. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. My hair's falling out rapidly. I'm going to be a ball brother soon. That's why. Yeah, right. It's in solidarity. Yeah, thank you. You're welcome out rapidly. I'm going to be a ball brother soon. That's why. Yeah, right. It's in solidarity. Yeah, thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you. Now, I was recently watching a documentary about Ashley Madison. Do you know nowhere apart from us in Australia call them docos? What do they call them? Documentaries. Docos. That's wasting so much time.

I saw an American be like, I have discovered a travesty happening in the South Pacific. What? Australians and New Zealanders call them docos and why won't they take anything seriously? It's very Australian actually. Okay. Watch a doco series.

I had no idea. Americans are just like, and all the replies were like, what? Of all the things to shorten, why have they documentaries? Because documentary is a really long word. Yeah, docos. We'll shorten shorter words than that. Do you want a doco? Do you want a doc?

Should we sit back and have a smoko and watch a doco? Yeah. I just want you guys to know they're appalled with us. I had no idea. More Australian than anything. We could probably sneak under the radar, but we can still definitely keep them in the dark. We are insignificant.

It was on Ashley Medicine, which is the like... And no one else calls them bikers. Bikies. You know, like if you saw a gang of bikies, you'd be like, oh, the bikies. What do you call them? Bikers. Bikies, bikers. Phil Kogan. Motorcyclists. Phil Kogan, Amazing Race Phil Kogan was on a podcast I was listening to, and he

called them bikies, and the Myers brothers, who hosted Seth Myers and his brother Josh, cracked up laughing. And they were like, oh, my God, it just makes them seem so unthreatening. Bikies. Bikies. Hey, little boy.

Hey, bikies. So Ashley Medicine is the cheating website, basically, where you can go on and, like, have a profile, like a dating profile, for extramarital affairs. Yes. So instead of, you know, just stumbling across someone at a bar, you can actually kind of, like a dating profile, for extramarital affairs. Yes. So instead of just stumbling across someone at a bar, you can actually kind of organize something. It's been around for years.

Are you allowed to use it for swing? Swings? Like in the park? Swinging. Swinging. Yeah. Swinging. I don't know.

I've literally never been on it. You're very defensive there. I just like to meet men in bars and they'll be like, ooh. Anyway, so, I mean, it's really old school. It's been around for years. And the doco that I watched was on when it had a leak. Do you remember that? Yes.

Ashley Madison leak and all the names and emails got released and all the CEOs of companies were like, don't leak my info. Yeah. But I was like, that's such an older generation thing. Like people in their 40s, I sort of imagine. Sorry for saying that. It's an old generation, guys.

Pause for an apology. Pause for an apology. Yeah, okay. Apparently, Gen Zs are all over it. So last year alone, 1.8 million Gen Zers joined the site, representing 40% of all new sign-ups. Which is what are they saying? And this is New Zealand.

Right, including New Zealand. So they're saying that Gen Z, younger generations, are not as into mahogany. Mahogany words. No, they're cheating pieces of shit is what they are. This is a cheating website. It's not open. It's a secret cheating website.

No, but you don't know if people have permission. Exactly the way I said it. Is it used for swinging? Yeah. If you were in an open relationship and you were looking to find someone else, but then you just go on Tinder. You just go on a normal date site.

You don't have to be secretive at all. Would you go on Tinder? Because you might not tell your friends that you're open. Yeah, true. You know some people are secretly open? And then if I was like, say Vaughn and I were together and we decided to be open and then I go on Tinder and I see you, you have to be

open to dating me knowing I've got a boyfriend. Because in this press release it says it's singles signing up as well. So I'm guessing there's obviously people that are looking for something extramarital. Okay, or wanting to be the other person. Yeah, wanting to be the other person. That's hot.

The press release says the singles are signing up too. It's not just for affairs. Wow. Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, to each their own. Yeah. But I, yeah. I didn't know that Gen Z was going to be doing this. It. But I, yeah.

I didn't know that Gen Z was going to be doing this. It's not going out as much and things. So they're just, it's convenience, right? They're a very, it's a convenience generation. Yeah,

it is. And you can't blame them. Lazy. Say it, lazy. Shannon's actually just left the room. She's our final Gen Z-er. Lazy. Lazy.

She's lazy. Lazy. She's literally not lazy. If there's one person on the show I would not call lazy, it's Shannon. She's actually not lazy at all. I mean, go out there and just, you know, spread it wide. Just do what you want. I'm not judging.

I'm not here to judge. Yeah. I'm judging a little bit. I mean, your husband or your fiancé literally gave you permission. Yeah, I know. To court Jason Momoa. I don't know if he's on the website, though. I'd be surprised.

Who, Jason Momoa? Imagine if he was on it. Oh, no, I think you're talking about your fiancé, because he doesn't seem like the kind of person that would do a website. Aaron. Yeah. Oh, no, he wouldn't. Minimal effort.

He doesn't even reply to group messages. No, no, he simply couldn't. Women need to fall into his lap, and that's the only way he'd end up cheating on me. I dare him to. I dare him. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top 6. Oopsie. Oopsie. Oopsie. I forgot this was happening. I was doing my daily games.

Connections. It's a New York Times game. You haven't played it yet. Connections is great. 16 words. And you've got to do four groups of four. They've all got something that binds them. There's easy ones and then there's one that's hard.

Are you still doing Wordle? I'm not doing Wordle. Okay. You're meant to be working during this time. I'm just saying. New York Times mini crossword also rules because it's just a little one. You've got to do it as quick as you can and it times you. Okay. Oh, you're meant to be working during this time, I'm just saying. New York Times mini crossword also rules, because it's just a little one, you've got to do it as quick as you can, and it times you. Okay, maybe do this on your own time.

Yeah, well, it is my own time when the songs are playing. No, it's actually works time. I think you'll find. A dolphin has been spotted with our thumbs. Our thumbs? It's got our thumbs. It's our dumb boy, but God, he's pretty.

I tell you what, it's lucky. It's got a thumb on the flipper. So it's basically like a jagged edge on his flipper, right? It looks exactly like an old school can opener that you go stick it in and go squeaky, squeaky, squeaky, squeaky, squeaky. Like a cowboy

can opener. So is this a deformity or are dolphins now... Well, this is sting. This is how evolution starts. They're texting. This is how things evolve. It's a mutation. Yep. And if it's favourable to the environment,

it becomes, slowly and slowly becomes a dominant... What are they using it for? Don't blame the environment. You know, I don't want to be responsible for that. I'm not blaming the environment, but if it's advantageous to you, that's how evolution works. Thumbs are handy, though. If something, if there's a mutation and it works, thumbs up.

Yeah. Ka-pi. Well, now the Pelagos Cretacean Research Institute, a scientific non-for-profit focused on the study and conservation of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, have shared the video. Whereabouts did they find this? Off the coast of Greece. Oh, okay.

Also, I got the Spanish word for dolphin wrong. Yeah. It's a dolphin. Dolphin. Not dolphin. No, it was dolphin. Dolphines. Dolphines. Dolph wrong. Yeah. It's a dolphin. Dolphin. Not Dolphina. No, it was Dolphines. Dolphines. Dolphines. Yeah. He still doesn't

know. He said I got it wrong and then he said it was wrong. I've got to go back on Duolingo. I've got to go back. This looks, this dolphin looks rad. Okay. I want to see it in the wild. I want to ride it. With its thumb. Anyway, it's got thumbs and so now I want all animals to have thumbs. The top six animals I'd like to get a thumbs up from.

Okay. Hey. Hey, Vaughn. Insert animal here. Hey, Vaughn. How are you, man? Thumbs up. Kappa.

Number six on the list. Sloths. I was going to say, I hope sloths is on your list. Well, they've got fingers. No, they've only got like three fingers. They don't have the thumb. They've got big ass claws. I saw a baby sloth at the start of the year.

Oh, my God. Amazing. Just neat, neat thumb. They've got big ass claws. I saw a baby sloth at the start of the year. Oh my God. Amazing. Just neat, neat animals. They're so cute. I don't think I've seen one with my eyeballs. You'd die. Yeah, I think I would die.

They're so cute. Very, very cute. Number five on the list of the top six animals I'd like to get a thumbs up from a gorilla. In the mist? Like a big ass

silverback gorilla. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are we cool? And he's like, thumbs up. And gives you like a bit of a Maori head flick. Oh, he'd totally be able to do the eyebrows. Yeah.

Are we good? Thumbs up. Eyebrow flick. Yeah, bro. Number four on the list of the top six animals I'd like to get a thumbs up from. One of my favorite animals in the world, the Tasmanian devil. Really? Yeah.

Not my favorite. I showed my kids the classic Tasmanian Devil cartoons with Tasmanian Devil and Bugs Bunny last night. They're awful. They're like big giant rats. Were they like boring dad? This sucks. No, they were kind of like lame dad.

How would they have made this? And I said literally hand-drawn everything. Were there not computers that did it then? I was like, nope. And then I tell them about Mel Blanc, the one guy that did basically all the voices. Yeah.

Oh. They're like, can we go now, Dad? Yeah. This is not popping. No, because it was past their bedtime. And this is when I have them as a captive audience because I'm like, you listen to old man rant or you go to bed.

Right. And they're like, okay, we'll listen to old man rant. Number three on the list of the top six animals I'd like to get a thumbs up from. A naked mole rat. Because it's just like a little penis going

with teeth. Yeah, penis with teeth. You right? Yeah. Number two on the list. One of my other favourite animals in the world that I'd like to get a thumbs up from, a red panda.

Oh, yeah, they're cute as hell. Oh, cute. The original pandas. Yeah. Did you know that? They were called pandas because the other pandas weren't like, everybody just kind of thought they were Chinese mythology for a while there. That's so cute.

But red pandas rule, I'd like to get a thumbs up from a red panda. Maybe give him a thumbs up. Maybe give him a thumbs up. He gives me a thumbs up. I give him some fruit, and he gives me another thumbs up. I'm just watching videos now of red pandas. They're cute, and they'd roll up all the way down the hill. And number one on the list of the top six animals I'd like to get a thumbs up from, no surprise, the honey badger.

Oh, yeah. The honey badger. Violent, though. That's why. If you give me a thumbs up, then he'll bloody nail you. He'll punch you in the face. Give me a thumbs up, then he'll bloody nail you. Punch you in the face. Give me a thumbs up, yeah. Or a thumbs up,

like some hyenas are chasing you and he's like, I got this. And you're like, are you sure, Honey Badger? And he turns around and he goes, thumbs up, Smithy. Look at this.

Look at this red panda. He's on a tree, like hanging like a sloth. Yeah, dude. Oh, they're so cute. They're so cute, man. They're so cute. They look fake.

That's how cute they are. Yeah. That's silly. Oh, they're so cute. They're so cute, man. They're so cute. They look fake. That's how cute they are. Yeah. That's silly. That is today's top six. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Four minutes away from seven, while Netflix have released

their biggest shows for the first half of the year. I wish they did a personal wrapped. That would be, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, how many hours you spent watching this show, this show, this show.

But too many people, I guess too many people are on your account as well. Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, be, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, how many hours you spent watching this show, this show, this show. But too many people, I guess too many people are on your account as well. Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Might be a bit confronting. I mean, it's my mind's only me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they do, they, Netflix are notoriously secretive about their viewing data. Yes. Like, only in the last what, year or so, or two years, have they had

the top. Top ten TV shows in New Zealand today. Yeah, which is kind of it. Top 10 movies in New Zealand today. I like those because then you can kind of see what's kind of trending and what you might be missing out on. Yeah, I often go on them. Yeah. I'm like, oh, that's great.

I'll watch that too. Well, they're going to start from now on doing the What We Watched engagement report. They're going to do this twice a year. And the first report is out. It came out yesterday. And it has the total hours viewed for the biggest TV shows

from January to June of this year. Why just the June? I don't know why they don't just wait until... Yeah, but I don't know why they just don't wait until January and then do the whole year. Maybe they got impatient and they're like, this is going to be cool and they just let it out. Well, from January until June,

the number one show on Netflix by an absolute country mile, by 147 million hours watched. Oh, my God. Has a total. And by the way, this is great news because there's a Kiwi in this show. And you might not have even thought she was a Kiwi actress. The Night Agent season one was viewed on Netflix globally 812 million hours. Jeez.

How long is that? How many days is that? Break it down for me. Like if you had to, give me the hours. 812 million. 812, so let's just go. It was actually 812, 100, 0, 0, 0. Well, let's be specific.

Let's be specific. Let's be specific. 33.8. So let's say 34 million days. That's insane. If that was what you gave me, it was hours. Far out. That's crazy. Lucianne Buchanan is the actress that's in it.

She's also been cast in Jason Momoa's Apple series, Chief of War. Yeah. So bear in mind as well, there were only 10 episodes in that first season. And every episode's what, like 40 minutes or something? So it was like, because you watched it, right? I loved it.

Yeah, great. Season two confirmed? Yeah, see, 100%. Oh, of course. It was really well. I mean there was a bit of like crappy CGI but there always is on most Netflix shows Is this worth a watch you think? Yeah I

might be a bit too cheesy for you Yeah cause you love like the unit I love the SWAT the cops the cop car SWAT team the guns guys. The guy that did the Shield and does SWAT and many other shows, Sean Ryan, he did The Night Agent.

Right. So he's behind this. Yeah, this is absolutely your party. But you cannot deny these numbers. $812 million. That is like so far ahead of second place. Jenny and Georgia season two. Yeah.

What the hell is that show? I think it's like a mom-daughter. Oh, I've seen that. Right. Wasn't that one of those ones that got cancelled somewhere else and they got picked up and it was like, ha, told ya. Scandalous. These are its descriptive words. You know how it always has three words? Yeah.

Scandalous, soapy, teen. So the, um, these are the big, I'll give you the biggest shows. The Night Agent season 1 812 that's number 1 Jenny and Georgia season 2 is he doing a list from number 1

600 that's crazy because I've been told off for that in the past yeah well we started at number 1 wow interesting 665 million hours viewed of that The Glory season 1

622 million hours Wednesday season 1 is the 4th biggest show on Netflix you watched that eh Vaughan Wednesday I really enjoyed it

I'm surprised it's so far down the list Queen Charlotte Bridget and Story You season 4 oh yeah I've watched You it's trash I love it

I looked up this Ginny and Georgia the one that plays the mum in real life is 34 years old and the one that plays the daughter is 26

so she had her when she was 8. Oh, that's going to hurt. What the hell is going on here? It is pretty insane though, going down this list. There's shows that you'd just be like, really? The Physical

Season 1? The Physical 100. I'd say that's like 12 on the list. That was one of my best watches this year. Emily in Paris, is that on there? It is. The Crown? Luther, The Fallen Son, that's on there.

That was good. Where's The Crown's numbers? The Crown is... I thought that was just a quiet bubbler for Netflix. Yeah, where's The Crown? Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton story, that was like fifth on the list. No, that's not. Friends is on there, but Friends is friends is everywhere yeah um but yeah it's pretty insane that's a lot of hours 812 million wow

our challenge because if you can text the word Aquaman as one word and then a guess of how many times you think Producer Jared will be able to go down the Hydra slide up and down and up and down and around and around and through and down and around. Twisting and turning.

Twisting and turning. If you can guess how many times Jared will do this before 8 o'clock in an hour we'll start the timer now and then we'll start it just after, we'll stop it just after 8 if you can guess correctly you will win the $2000 We'll start the timer now, and then we'll stop it just after 8. If you can guess correctly, you will win the $2,000 cash and some awesome merch. If there are more than one correct guess, we will just do a draw.

Now, Producer Jared, your biggest concern was not the sliding. It was the climbing of the stairs to go down the slide. Yeah, and as we've arrived at Westwave, yeah, there's a lot more stairs than I was anticipating. Oh, you've got little legs, don't you? Yeah, little legs, little legs. He's going to get fit, though. He might come back jacked. He's got his cute togs, and he's wearing an Aquaman T-shirt, too.

Yeah, aloha. And he's got an inflatable trident. A trusty trident that'll be accompanying me. You be careful with that. Now, do you have your phone in, like, a plastic bag? Yeah, we've got a little like glad wrap sandwich bag. Oh my God, I love this.

Vaughn, can you please start? Do you want to start the timer? Do you want to be the official one hour timer? Oh my God, are you ready for your first one? Yep, yep. Wait, hold yours.

Where's a timer on a laptop? Your phone, Vaughn. I wanted to use my laptop. And I'm ready. Okay, all right, Producer Jared, let's go go let's do the first one off you go aquaman all right here we go i don't really hear anything wait i thought he was taking the phone with him no he's gonna take the phone with him you get in the tube with him.

He's already gone. He's on his way down. I can hear him screaming. You can't take the phone. No, because a glad bag is like... Get a glad bag. No, a glad bag is not sufficient. We'll talk to the CEO. We'll get him a new phone next time I want him to take the phone down with him.

You've got to text Aquaman, your guest, to 9696 to win that $2,000. Shannon, be keeping count, please. I will be. I've got to stop it. He your guest, to 9696 to win that $2,000. Shannon, be keeping count, please. Yeah, you start at the timer. I will be. I've got to start, but he's just made it to the bottom. Okay, so I'm ready. Okay, I reckon it could be quite a few. About 45 seconds on that.

Okay. You do the math. How many times in an hour? We'll find out in an hour, I guess. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Now, this is an interesting study and it makes me embarrassed and this includes all of us on this team

because it's Gen Z's and Millennials who have been lumped in this one, which sometimes I don't mind other times I'm appalled Apparently, a third of Gen Z and Millennials are too nervous to order their own food in restaurants, according to a study.

What? Give me strength. Who's ordering their food? Their friends. Oh. Or like, you know how sometimes we get you to do it, or they prefer those not face-to-face, you know, QR code things. Oh, yep, yep.

I hate them. You know I love a yarn and a chat and to make friends with my, I was about to say my staff. Wow. Wow. Sometimes you just can't get the private school girl out of everyone. That's how I treat all of Hallertau is my pub, my local, and these are my staff.

These are my staff, yeah. So we've talked about menu anxiety before being like when you look at a menu and you're so overwhelmed by it that you can't make a decision. Yeah. So the whole experience of going to a restaurant is anxiety riddled for Gen Z and millennials. Well, just don't go. So not just like what will I order, but I don't want to order it myself.

And so they'll choose someone else at the table to speak to the waiter on their behalf. These people could never go by themselves to a restaurant, could they? Hiya, are you ready to order? I make my children order at restaurants. It's a good skill to have. 100%. 100% and I didn't even think

about it. I don't think that's the case with anybody I know or would go to dinner with. They'd be too nervous to. No. Well, everybody I always go to dinner with just wants to be the centre of attention. Absolutely. We're like, yoo-hoo, over here, waiter.

Yeah. That's weird. And like sometimes you will order for the whole table, but that's just because you're really good at choosing the different. I just say keep them coming. And it's easier when you're with a group and you're sharing. Yeah, one person needs to take it. One person just take control. Yeah.

Yeah. The meat alpha. The meat alpha. You are the meat alpha. Steps up. So more... I suppose we can have some vegetables. Yeah, yeah, fine.

One broccolini. Yeah, they're like, Mr. Smith, you've ordered all the meat dishes. Yes. It's normally car one, isn't it? Can I have a plate of broccoli? Yeah. Can I have some mushrooms?

No, you may not. It's fine. You have a plate of broccoli? Yeah, can I have some mushrooms? No, you may not. You have a plate of mushrooms and broccoli. So also on this study, stats about restaurant anxiety in general, nearly a quarter of respondents said they would cancel restaurant plans if they felt overwhelmed by the menu.

Because a lot of people, you do this, Google before you go to a place. Always. And I'll take it a step further. I Google the menu and I'll look at the menu. Then hopefully, if they've got any self-respect, they'll have an Instagram and I can get a visual on foods. Nothing makes me happier than going to like a Chinese restaurant and they've got a picture of the plate.

It's so good. Thank you. Yeah, because you know what you're going to get. I know what I'm getting. And it's a big laminated menu. It's really fresh. It's laminated. I can spit on it. I can drool to get. I know what I'm getting. And it's a big laminated menu. It's really fresh. It's laminated. I can spit on it.

I can drool on it. I can spill things on it. And I want to see that and be like, yeah, that looks like a bit of me. Have you Googled our brunch tomorrow's menu? Hell yeah, I have. We're going to brunch after the show. And I Googled the place, the menu, and their Instagram, and I know what I'm having.

Already? Chili scramble. Not just because I always get a chili scramble. You can't go wrong with a chili scramble. You can't go wrong, but I saw it visually, and I know what I'm having. Already? Chili scramble. Not just because I always get a chili scramble. You can't go wrong with a chili scramble. You can't go wrong, but I saw it visually and I liked it. Is a chili scramble the new Eggs Benedict? Do you know what? Yes, it is.

Is the Benedict moving to the side to let a new, and you know how you always judged a cafe on how they did their Eggs Benedict. If they didn't have the Benedict, you wouldn't go back. No, I think the butter sauce is weird. I think hollandaise is yuck. Makes you feel crook. It's a rich syrup. Yeah, do you know what I mean?

On a rich oozy egg with a carb underneath and a rich bacon. I do think the chilli scramble could be the new Benedict. Yeah, for like the way of judging how good a cafe is going to be. Are we calling that, are we? I think we're, yeah, we have. Mark, mark me down. Hear ye, hear ye. Chilli scramble is the new Eggs Benedict.

Oh, yep. What is it, Town Crier? Hear ye, hear ye. The king hath decreed that the Chili Scramble will now be the dish one orders in order to judge the cafe to whence it will be revisited with friends. Thank you, Tom Fryer. And if you work in a cafe and they don't do a chilli scramble,

I'm sorry, you're done. You're toast. Back it up. Have some respect. Have some respect. Producer Jared, who is going on the Westwave Hydra Slide around and around and around. You've got to guess exactly how many times he can do this in an hour.

Yes. We've been taking your bets, your entries. And lovely producer Shannon has accompanied our very own Aquaman on the scene. Time? Current time? Current time, sir, is 12 minutes, 55 seconds. Okay.

Heading towards a quarter. Okay, okay. What number is this one? 11. Okay, so he's going about one a minute. Just less than he was cranked. Three minutes in, he had done three. Hey, Aquaman.

He gets stuck in the lazy river every time he gets to the bottom. Because he's got little legs. Wait, does the slide come out into the lazy river and just takes him away? Okay, he's climbing out of the lazy river. I'll pass you over as he gets his trident out of the pool. Here they are. He's got a trident. Yeah.

Producer Jared, how are you feeling? How are you feeling after this many? Oh, I'm tucking out. Yeah, because how are your little legs up all the stairs? Yeah, they're getting a little sore. You know, Jared, there's no target you have to hit. You can take a break. Nah, nah.

Yeah, good. He's competitive. He's going for Max. I've got some high guesses and I want to deliver. Well, keep going, keep going and we'll update you throughout the hour as to his progress if you've got an entry in for this. But now we have a warning because this has been reported in the Herald and this is something that happened to you, I feel like, last Christmas

when we went out in the Viaduct, Hayley, because people are coming forward with their horrific stories of being ripped off in taxis after Christmas parties and your work functions. So weird that someone would have taken advantage because I was very coherent and I'm sure I was watching the dial and having a beautiful conversation with the driver. So bizarre you got into a taxi.

That's where you first went wrong? You know me. There's just a moment where I go, and I've got to, I'm out, I'll leave. I've got to go home, yeah. And so I got into the nearest available vehicle. Now you woke up to the charge on your credit card the next morning. $171. Yeah, and how much would that have cost you normally?

If I was to get a Uber, what would you save on? $50 out of the way? I allow for $60. Yeah, $50. Because you guys live far, it's far away. Anywhere from $45 to $60 depending on the time of day, night, whatever, week. So you got charged $170. $170.

So another, And all these people Have been coming forward Someone said Did you have a chunny? No No nothing No soilage No no

I thought the same When I woke up Chunny fee No but a chunny fee Is like $200 In a taxi In a taxi Yeah

And an Uber True We'd know Maybe a little wee How much was your $160 $150 $150

That's pretty cheap Yeah it was pre-pandemic. Yeah. Well, so people have come forward. One woman saying she was charged $197 from a trip from Auckland's Viaduct to Buckland's Beach. That would normally be a $50 Uber or about $60 to $80 in a normal cab. Wow. And apparently she has no record. Obviously, like you, just checked the next day. Yeah, yeah. And was she has no record, like obviously like you just check the next day.

Yeah, yeah. And was just taken advantage of. And people, yeah, with similar stories like of fares that would normally cost 50 to 60 to 80 being charged 200. Someone that was charged $80 when it normally costs them like 30 in an Uber. Yeah. I mean, I get it.

We're all out there to make our own money, aren't we? But, you know, maybe have a plan would be the best thing. Because tomorrow lots of people will be knocking off work and then next Friday are the two kind of big days that people are out for the year. And, I mean, this is not to say all taxis are out to rip you off, but there are just some dodgy mofos out there that are taking advantage of people. So, I mean, if but there are just some dodgy mofos out there. Some scheming mofos.

That are taking advantage of people. So, I mean, if you can. I haven't heard mofo for a while. It's a nice one. I just got angry and that was the nicest word I could say at that moment. Yeah, it is. So, yeah, be careful out there. Be careful.

Make a plan. You know, have some zero percents. Have some waters. Listen to your Aunt Hayley. I've learnt the hard way. Do as she says, not as she does. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Sing the jingles. Last Christmas, I gave you my Chris. But the very next Chris, you Chris me a Chris. Don't laugh at a Chris. This Chris, to save me from Chris. I Chris you a Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris. Lyrics by Hayley Sproul. Brilliant lyrics.

Also, copyright wham. So we've had Chris Warner. Yeah, we had Chris Parker. Yes, we had Christine Smith, your mum. My mum. Your mum. And today we have another Chris. We do, from 660. Chris Mack.

Hello. Welcome to the studio. That's such a good line up of Chris's. I feel like I'm really quite disappointing to be honest. You're not disappointing at all. I feel like I'm a little disappointing. No. This is a big get. It's a big get. Poor Chris's mum. You know I hate turning up and talking. Yeah I know I know. He's so shy Chris. We really try to get a bit of personality out of him. I'm sorry.

I'll try my hardest, guys. Now, you've been in Europe. You and the guys have been in Europe for a while. Yeah, we went over to play some shows. Ended up really only

playing one show and just went to all the Rugby World Cup. It was pretty good. We essentially just lied to our families and said we were touring. Busy, busy, busy.

Probably shouldn't be saying that on the radio. I love when something like that works out. It works out fantastic. You think you're going to have to work and you go somewhere and you don't have to work. That's just great stuff. Yeah. No, we just went to the rugby and ate a lot of cheese.

Oh my God. Sometimes simultaneously. Yeah. Watching rugby with cheese is good. Were you at the final game? We were. We were at pretty much all the games. I think we missed one AB's game.

Yeah, we were at the final. It was so good up until like that last like everyone every AB supporter was like it's fine it's fine

there's like two seconds to go it's fine we're gonna win this it wasn't fine no you know what it wasn't fine no well it should have been fine

and I hate the retrospective look being like oh actually that we were wrong and it's like well it's too late and that's really what I came on to talk about

Chris Mack is joining the All Blacks the nation's crumbling addiction to winning that we were wrong and it's like, well, it's too late. And that's really what I came on to talk about. Yeah. Chris Mack is joining the All Blacks. His explanation is crumbling addiction to winning at rugby. Well, summer is apparently here. Yes. Well, no, what did we say? It's actually... Slightly delayed.

Slightly delayed. Yeah. We're still springing at the moment. Okay. But we were just saying there's no summer without 660. Yeah. And you've only got

on your upcoming gigs on your website, and from what I've seen, one upcoming gig, which is very lazy of you guys. You're our national band. You should at least have one gig per band member, I think. That's a good point. Tell that to, like, Fly My Pretty. There's 80 of them.

Yeah, that's a long tour. So you've got Electric Ave. You're in for Electric Ave. Electric Ave down in Crushage. That's going to be awesome. It's going of them. Yeah, that's a long tour. Yeah. So you've got Electric Ave. You're in for Electric Ave. Electric Ave down in Crushage. That's going to be awesome. It's going to be a really fun time. And look, we don't have anything announced yet of what we might be doing. But is there something swimming around?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something. I can't say too much. I probably shouldn't even be here, to be quite frank. Chris, I need to remind you, you're only here because your name's Chris. I'll say it. Yeah, no, it's true.

You're famous and you're Chris and that's why we got you. Yeah, well, that's debatable according to my manager because I got asked to come in and I texted my manager and I was like, hey, they're doing something where they're talking to a famous Chris. Is there any problem with me going on? He said, well, other than the fact that you're not famous, I don't see a problem at all. Oh, my neck.

I said, yeah, other than that glaring absolute flaw. Do you like being negged? Because we've worked out this year as a trio we love a bit of negging. Yeah, okay. Let's go. Look at this big, fat,

ugly cuck in front of me. Like, it's a lot. It's a lot. And it's one way. And she said we love being it, but I don't know if we'd say love. Do you like a bit of it,

you piece of shit? I love cuck. Oh, my God, I think I do, actually. It's the easiest instrument in the band, isn't it? Professional orderer. That's the thing. You can't say anything about me that I haven't said to myself this morning. Yeah, yeah, this is true.

This is true. It's very Kiwi. Yeah. And so other than the band, I mean, you run a bar and all sorts of things. That's right. I run a bar and all sorts of things. Drinkery. New North Road. 605 New North Road. Yeah, a little plug for the- Yeah, why run a bar and all sorts of things. That's right, 605 Morningside Drinkery. New North Road, 605 New North Road.

Yeah, a little plug for the- Yeah, why not? I've got to plug something. You got me in here and I have literally nothing to plug. There is, we're working on music. We're working on some shows. If you happen to be in Bali, we're doing New Year's Eve in Bali, Canggu. Are you? Yeah.

We love Canggu. How good? Yeah, it's pretty good. Hopefully the gig gets cancelled. And then you're just in Bali. Fingers crossed. I don't want to work. It's like when we go somewhere and they're like,

oh, some part of the technology's not working. I'm like, sweet, let's just not do the show then. Yeah, where's the closest pub? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do this. Wow. Do you know, we've also declared this the summer of suits. Summer of suits?

You're also looking absolutely fly. Yeah, see, I've made a decision in my life that I don't have to worry about trends if I just wear a suit every day. Like decision in my life that I don't have to worry about trends if I just wear a suit every day. Like, who needs trends? I don't have to worry about it. Chuck on a suit. You're ready to rock.

Linen suit? Or you see the silk? Yes. And cut the shorts into a little short short. Why do you want to see my legs so badly? I'm trying to solve problems here.

Because Fletcher's pins are all weak and I'm loving it. I've got pretty good legs. Do you want to see my calves? Like, they're pretty good. Whoa! Like, they're pretty good calves. That's lovely. See, that's a guy that did ballet up until his teens.

Oh, did you? Oh, yeah. Did all the major dances. Ballet, jazz, modern, tap. Are you still bendy? I'm not that flexible, no. Right. But look.

I love that Chris came on the show to promote that he's doing the Summer of Suits. And he was a ballet boy growing up. Ballet boy. Is that a suit guy? Yeah, he's a ballet boy. That's a suit guy. Yeah. So tomorrow is our final day of Chrismas.

It's not a Chris. No, but then we'll put it in a fryer. No, I did have a chicken called Chris, but it died. You don't want to talk about that. What about Chris Cross, that hip hop group from the 90s? Yeah. That talks you to jump, jump. Yeah, don't stop.

Okay, we're going to work on our fifth Chris. They're pretty good options, guys. We look forward to an impending announcement about... From 660. About suits.

You cannot say that word on the radio. Can I not say that on the radio? Every time you say it, I'm like, you cannot say that word on the radio. Because I think you're going to say a different one, to be honest. There's two words that could go. Yeah. Oh, well. I've only got one more done. You're new. Two years in and I'm still

The man, from the day all he ever did, his entire working career, he's a doctor. Doesn't poor hearing speed up dementia? It does speed up because it puts fatigue on the brain,

Is it a full moon this news? Oh! Jesus. Play ZM's Fletch for the nightly. Play ZM. Refuser Jared, our Aquaman, is currently on a hydra slide going around and around and around and around.

You've got to guess how many times. He is just hooning it. Yeah. Shannon, what's our number at the moment? Aloha, it's Jared. It is 30-ish. 30-ish? Okay, give the phone back.

Keep going. Oh, my God. You're 45 minutes in. Aloha. You're doing great. Aloha. He comes on. Aloha. It's doing great. Aloha. He comes on. Aloha. It's about

30. Aloha. From the movie. Joining us in studio after right from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which by the way is out in Cinema's Boxing Day. It is so silly, silly, silly That silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

Today's silly little pole, this comes on the news that Jetstar for their medium and long haul flights and their planes, they're going to axe in-flight TV screens in favour for Wi-Fi over the coming years. Love it. These are mostly the flights out of Australia, like on to places like Bali or Japan and Hawaii, stuff like that. Of course.

But what kind of Wi-Fi? It's so bad. I've never been on a plane without Wi-Fi and you're like, oh, nothing. You can maybe send one message on Messenger. I feel like, well, in New Zealand announced what send one message on Messenger. Yeah. I feel like, well, in New Zealand announced what yesterday,

the day before, they're going to start putting in Starlink, which is amazing because, you know, it's... Where's the satellite going on the plane? It'll get blown off.

You know the little bubble that's on top of the fuselage? I'll put it in there. Fuselage? That's... What the hell is a fuselage? The body. The body of the plane. Well, just say the body of the plane. No, but it's called the fuselage. He's hell is a fuselage? The body. The body of the plane.

Well, just say the body of the plane. No, but it's called the fuselage. It's technical. He loves his anchorage investigation. They wouldn't say the body of the plane split in half, would they? I've literally never read a headline that says the fuselage was split in two. Well, thank God. Never in my life.

Thank God. It would be an absolute aviation disaster. So we asked, do you care if you have a screen while flying? Nah. 72% of people said yes. That's wild because I find a lot of the shit on this ship. Oh, it's terrible. The shit's shit.

And also the sound is terrible. And the quality is always real blurry. No movie should be watched on that. Yeah, I'm about to go on a few flights in the coming weeks, and I've just got my laptop and my phone loaded up, and that's bad. It's always real blurry. No movie should be watched on that. Yeah, I'm about to go on a few flights in the coming weeks, and I've just got my laptop and my phone loaded up, and that's me. I don't care about the screen. Legally acquired? Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely legally acquired. How do you load up your laptop? You're not allowed to download onto laptops. Oh, interesting. From your paper. No, I did say load it up, though. I've got my DVDs on there. Your laptop doesn't have a disc.

Are you taking one of those portable CD-ROMs? Yeah. Oh, right. One of those old, you go to JKR Electronics. Yeah. Oh, got a DVD wallet. Yeah. Crazy.

That's a lot to have on carry. Cool. I'm really surprised. I thought it would have been more people on devices. Yeah, and 28% of people said, no, I just take my own device. Yeah. I don't need it. Because a lot of airlines that have done this overseas have said it's because people have

their own devices. Yeah, totally. So why bother? Marie said, jumped on a 10-hour flight not knowing there was no screens. The anxiety was real. The will of my phone. Will my phone last? And the franticness of having to download something as we started to taxi.

You've got to use your data there. Then trying not to drop it was a whole other little thing. Josh, not really. The only thing I use the plane screens for is tracking where the plane is. Yeah, me. I love that. I love that. Where are we? The scale's all wrong because the plane's

huge compared to the country. Sometimes a fuselage is the size of America. That is a silly, silly word. Connor says Don't you hate it when your fuselage is the size of the South Island? It bugs me when they edit out the naughty bits of the films or the shows. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do that.

Danielle, I get horribly sick, so having a screen is a distraction in between spewing. I need both hands to hold on to the spew bit. Oh, shotgun's not sitting next to you. Yeah, anywhere near you, because the smell of spew is enough to make you spew on a plane. Oh, silence. Oh, yeah.

Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. We're joined in studio by one of the stars of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. It's Uncle Tim. Tim Ure-Morrison. Welcome. Kia ora, kia ora. Thank you very much for having me.

Wonderful to be here. Very good morning to all your listeners as well. Tim. ZM rating well, I understand. I've actually been on a little world tour. It's great to be back in New Zealand. Just got in yesterday, actually. Get some air.

Do they fly your business class? Oh, yes, of course. Oh, yeah, nice. That's right. You look a million. You've got a suit and the specs. You're looking a million bucks. Yes, I've got to keep working to pay for the glasses.

You walked in and we literally screamed. You honestly look incredible to me. That's good. That's good. I thought I'd dress up this morning. I said, yeah, I better dress up. We did get the memo today. We really appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm here to promote Aquaman and it's coming out. Boxing Day. Boxing Day here in New Zealand, the 20th in LA, I think. And look, this film's incredible. We filmed this up in Warner Brothers in London during the time of COVID as well. So Jason was a big fan of mine. We go way back, actually. We did a couple of things in Netflix.

Big fan of mine as well. And I did meet the casting agent actually in LA for Aquaman, which was a bit of a buzz. And I thought, oh, man, man, I've got a chance here. But then actually I found out later that Jason really wanted me to play his dad dad so I was happy Jason loves New Zealand He does. He loved Once Were Warriors

so yeah he's a big fan of mine and we've actually just finished working on another big project of his too but Aquaman's incredible I love that he watched Once Were Warriors of all things and then was like I want him to play my dad. No offence to Jake the Musk but I don't want Jake to be my dad No he even got my tattoos from Sometimes I don't want Jake to be my dad. No, you haven't got my tattoos

from... Jesus! Sometimes I was going through a little bit of a... because I even had the tattoos on too. A little bit similar to Jake the Musk too. But Aquaman is a little bit different. Aquaman 2 was... You know, Aquaman, the first one was a bit of a love story thing going on there.

With this one, I think it's more of a brotherly love kind of thing. You know, him and the brother get together to overcome the obstacles and they've got to get over their differences as well. Yeah. Played by Patrick Wilson. Yes. And he's got a close relationship with James Wan, the director.

Remember the movie, The Conjuring movies? Yes. Yeah, yeah. And the bad guy in Aquaman 2, he really comes back in a big force. Yaha. Yaya. Yaya. Yaya Abdul-Martin II. Yes, so amazing.

He even turns up with this black trident. Oh, wow. I've seen it in the trailer. It's pretty impressive. Jason's got the golden one. And I turn up with my taiaha, so my Maori spear. It's a spear off. Yeah, so very clever.

Tim, when you're working with Jason Momoa, because I've met him, do you find it hard to speak and generally hold your cool in the way that I did? And does your voice go as high pitched as mine did? Do you, have you sat on his knee? Do you get giddy? No, no, no. She gets crazy.

No, no, I don't get that excited. Do you start to flick your hair around and just sort of, you know? I just say, well, I made that. I made that. He got his hair from Nicole Kidman, but he got his good looks and muscles from his dad. I can see it, Tim.

Have you had a little sing-along? Because I saw as well Jason in his green room set up as well as the Guinness fridge. He has a whole bunch of, like, guitars. Yep, he's a guitar and motorbikes. Yeah. And, like, old motorbikes. Yeah.

Like knuckleheads from the Harley Davidsons, 1930s. Yeah, he's a guitar and motorbikes. Yeah. And like old motorbikes. Yeah. Like knuckleheads from the Harley Davidson 1930s. Wow. He's even got Lawrence of Arabia's bike. Wow. I think he's got a lot of motorbikes,

a lot of guitars. Yeah. He's got the big water distribution thing with the aluminium bottle which is really cool to, you know, to get away from

plastic kind of thing. He's got good vodka too, tell you what. The vodka's very good. A few bottles of those. Go straight to the legs though. Very easy. Yeah, straight to the legs.

I wobbled out of his apartment a couple of times under the influence of that vodka. He's on the world tour promoting Aquaman at the moment too. Yeah, I know. I think it's ending at my house. Hopefully! Of course, Hayley. Of course he's coming there.

I'll come too. Yes, please. I'll tell him to bring a bottle of vodka. Yeah, you are. Even the special effects now, the new characters underwater, it's more vibrant. It's more exciting now.

Just what James Wan and his special effects people have. You always got to go the next step. Of course. Take it to another level. We introduce a whole new kingdom within this movie too called the Lost Kingdom or something like the Seventh World which is introduced. And you know, shooting underwater

had all sorts of problems. Even like the characters come in. Normally we arrive on a bus or a car or a horse. But how do you do that underwater? Breaststroke. I do breaststroke. I'm one of those women that's head above the water. The whole time.

Don't want to get the hair wet. Show us that breast stroke. Very good. I don't think you'll be going far with that breast stroke. You're not even saying above your head. That looks like a duck stroke. I'm keeping the hair dry. Come on, we're in Aquaman here.

You've got to get that full. And maybe I've got one of those, like, you know, aqua jogging, like, waist belts on and the little weights and stuff. Yeah, no stress on the joints. So, yeah. Now, I know we're talking Aquaman. Yes, Aquaman, Aquaman. Now, Boxing Day comes out.

Everybody, Boxing Day got nothing to do. If you want to just, you know, you've had the big Christmas dinner. Full puku, sit down and watch it. Big puku. Yeah. Now, nothing else to do. Boxing Day, go to the movies, watch Aquaman. We've got to give Barbie a little competition.

I heard that was big. Barbie who? Aquaman. But I know we're talking Aquaman, but I know that this little bubbling Star Wars nerd to your right has brought in his Star Wars gear. I can see that. Some kind of leggy. Which one's the Star Wars crazy?

This me. Oh, that's you? Yeah, I love it. And I've got a little pen. Would you mind signing my... Oh, my God, this is embarrassing, Gordon? Yeah, I love it. And I've got a little pen. Would you mind signing mine? Of course. Oh my God, this is embarrassing, Vaughan.

You can do this later. I was just at a convention and the guy brings over this Boba Fett thing so I'm signing it but I notice Mark Hamill's autograph is on there. Oh wow.

I said, oh, you got Mark Hamill's? He goes, yeah. I said, how much does that cost? $600 US. How much do you normally charge at one of these conventions? Okay, so you...

120 US. 120? You've got two things to sign so have of these conventions? Okay, so you... 120 US. 120? You've got two things to sign, so have you got two... No, no, I've got all these... I've got the clones and everything. Well, you're like, this is this. It's 240. We're talking about Star Wars.

It's enough about me. No, we can't. We're out of time, Vaughn. You've been in... Well, you were the client. You were the most popular person in the Star Wars galaxy. There was like two million of you. That's correct.

You've been around. They cloned me. You've just... Out of everybody in the world to clone. There's only been a sheep called Dolly and me. And Uncle Tim. Yeah. Unbelievable.

And you've been, you've kind of, the live action stuff, you've ever been in that? You did the voice of Captain Rex for the SOTA series. That was perfect. Love seeing you back. Move it, move it, move it. Yeah. That was it.

You played a down and out one in the Obi-Wan series. Yep, yep, yep. Could it, could it, could it. Bob. That was it. You played a down and out one in the Obi-Wan series. Yep, yep, yep. Credit, please, credit, please. Boba Fett again in the Mandalorian. It's so good to see you. We need to talk, Aquaman. $240, though. We'll come out for two seconds.

It's all good. It's all good. It's synapsing, but the $240, you've got to transfer it or we won't sign it. Yeah, I'll get it. Venmo'd. Amazing. No, no, that's no charge. Cash.

No charge for the family. Wow. You've got me on your high-rating breakfast show. Well, privilege is all ours to have you in studio. Thank you so much, Tim. Thank you, Hayley. Thank you, Fletch. That's Vaughan.

It's just fun to neg you. Yeah. You're doing great by the way, Gen Z. Personally. I think you guys are doing good. You've been through some stuff. They've been through some stuff and they also are making smarter choices than a lot of the choices we made.

But they're also lazy. They're too scared to order things at restaurants. Yeah. Hello. Yeah and they can't cook. Well they do stay inside for three years. You're just going to starve at restaurants. Yeah. Hello. Yeah, and they can't cook. Well, they do stay inside for three years. You're just going to starve in silence. Yeah, bruh. Yeah, so bruh is a big one. Someone just messaged in.

This is the first. They said, my kids call me sis. Sis. For example, sis, you're so cringe. Yeah. Sis. I love this. Now, this is what would have happened if I'd called my mum sis.

She would have been like, Vaughn, do the dishes. Sis, I ain't doing the dishes. I am not your sis. I birthed you. But you weren't calling your sis after that, though, were you? No. Never again. Never again.

Somebody said my six, nine, and ten-year-olds all call us bruh. And they're not loving it. You should be like, no presents for Christmas if you call me bruh. Bruhs don't buy presents. So how did you shut this down? Because you've said that you don't like it. Well, the first time. You can't though.

which ended with, how dare you talk to your mother like that. Yeah, that's good stuff. That's good stuff. How good is how dare you talk to your mother like that? August said, she said I didn't have to. And I said, she has a name. And it was the first time I've, I don't know why, I did not like them calling my wife she.

Mum, she has a label. Wow, Miss Twaif calls me Cheryl. My name is not Cheryl. A lot of people are. Your name's not Cheryl. A lot of people are like, you wait till they start addressing you by your first name. Shut up, Vaughn.

Oh yeah, yeah. Me too. I'm like, Christine. Oh wow. But I wouldn't. Yeah. Apparently when I was really little, from like the age of like three to six, I addressed my parents by their first names.

And they said it was weirdly formal for a child to be like, good morning, Ian, instead of like, good morning, Dad. People are sharing theirs. And this is so cute. My three-year-old says, hoo-roo, instead of bye. Oh, that's cute. That's cute. I like that a lot. That's super cute. Bye, my darling. Hoo-roo instead of bye. Oh, that's cute. That's cute.

Play it. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. That was stunning. Thank you. I actually used to teach music and that to me was just dulcet. Perfect. Now this one, right up your alley, Mr.

Don't point at me like that. Don't talk about his alley like that that Don't talk about his alley like that Don't talk about Come on bruh Don't talk about my alley like that Oh sis You don't know his alley Well no Mr. Duolingo

Oh yeah okay He's been doing his C part Because he doesn't know What dolphin is in Spanish Oh dolphin Dolphin No it's got an S in it Delphin

I don't think it's dolphin I think it's a dolphin It's a dolphin We've. I think it's a Dolphin. It's a German, eh? It's a Delphin. We've got a Dolphin. There's a Delphin on the loose. Maybe next time. I will ask the troops. The Luftwaffe will hunt the Dolphins.

Maybe next time I'll do German on Duolingo. It's just a lot of yelling. You just yell at it. It's just a lot of yell. So what would C-A write this down. C-A G-A K-A-N

E-R Now this is from Caganger. Catalan. I don't know. It's a Spanish. Yeah but Spanish, that's different than Latin Spanish. Slightly. Is this the poop thing? It's the poop thing! Dude, I, slightly. Is this the poop thing? It's the poop thing!

Dude, I read this. It's the poop thing. This stumbled across me yesterday and I was like, what? Used to me! Every fact of the day this week is Christmas. It's Christmas. It's Christmas. Yes.

So let me tell you about, how would you say that? I don't know. I haven't done that on Duolingo yet, Vaughan. Haganah? Is a figurine depicted in the act of taking a dump appearing in nativity scenes in Catalonia and neighbouring areas with Catalan culture, such as Andorra, Valencia, and Northern Catalonia.

Yeah. And Southern France. So this- They're in like nativity scene. El Cagara. Literally means the pooper. Or what have you got there? You got the pronunciation.

Hit it. Oh, the pronunciation videos always have a bit of silence at the start. Oh, there he is. Caganae. El Caganae. El Caganae. El Caganae. He was too smiley.

Calm down. It's just a YouTube video It's this tradition Of putting someone In the nativity scene You've got your baby Jesus Sometimes in the arms Of the Virgin Mary

But predominantly In the straw manger Yep You've got Mary You've got Joseph You've got an array Of donkeys And sheep

And animals That were in the In the stables And you've got the three wise men and you've got someone taking a dump in the corner. At a haganei. They're just like, this is just a Christmas tradition. Yeah.

It's so good. So the possible reasons, because everybody's just like, don't know, we've just always done it. The haganei is creating feces and fertilising the earth. According to the ethnographer Joan Armades, it was a customary figure in nativity scenes in the 19th century because people believed that this deposit

symbolically fertilising the ground of the nativity scenes, which became fertile and ensured the nativity scene for the following year. And with it, the health of body and peace of mind required to make the nativity scene

with the joy and happiness brought on by the Christmas near the half? They're so weird, that little figurine. And you can buy them. You can buy, there's so many online, there's famous people that you can buy. Yes. That's a Real Madrid football one of a football edition.

So that's... That is so weird. That's the other thing is that it became, if you would imagine if someone made a small miniature of you doing a poop, it would be an insult. Au contraire. No, it's not. What's that, French?

More Duolingo. Oui. Au contraire. It is an honour to be the El Cajonere. Like, if we were a radio station in Spain, we would each have a figurine, probably. It would be a sitter. I wish we did. That would be so cool.

It would be so cool it'd be so cool yeah it would be a sitter or a squatter and a squatter and a pooper so today's fact of the day and I just I 100%

I'm adopting I'm adopting this gone you can't yeah but absolutely a Vaughn 10 out of 10 what was I talking about

the pooper this is a tradition I think we should get on board with I don't even anything. What was I talking about? The pooper. This is a tradition I think we should get on board with. I don't even have a nativity scene, but now I just want one to then have a pooper. Do it. So today's fact of the day is the Spanish have a cultural practice amongst their nativity scene to have someone there doing a poo. 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.

There was an employment lawyer whose name is Catherine Cook and she was telling a local newspaper that this is the time of year where she sees a massive increase in businesses coming to her and asking for advice about disciplinary action for bad behaviour at work parties, including violence and discriminatory comments. Oh, wow. Because this is the busy...

I assumed it was all going to be sexual. No. Violence and discriminatory comments? Yeah, crazy. Jesus. So basically she's like, it's the time of year that people are going to work parties and like the other stuff of legend, work parties.

Because people, especially big corporate offices, right? Like people don't really know each other that well. There's lots of employees there, mix of personalities. Poor booze on top of that. That is a melting pot of chaos. That's why you know, especially over the last few

years, I feel before any kind of work function, there's a big talking to. Yes. There is like a come on people, you know. We're going to have a couple of drinks. We're going to celebrate another good big talking to. Yes. Like, come on, people. You know. We're going to have a couple of drinks. We're going to celebrate another good year of business. Yeah. None of that.

Yeah. And none of that. Anyway, so she was just basically giving some points on maybe how you might want to mitigate stuff like that, like having a talk to your employees or if you are an employee, you know, don't bang someone on the photocopier essentially. You might press the print button and it'll copy it and then there's photographic evidence. I've got to tell you, you don't want to see your anus photocopied.

No. Have you done it? Personal experience? No, I've never, I've never, I've never. But I'm sure it is a horrendous view. It's quite high to get up there. And then that splash, the spread. Yeah, it's not pretty. It's not pretty. It's not nice. It's quite high to get up there. And the squish, the spread. Yeah, it's not pretty.

It's not nice. It's not nice. Anyway, with this sort of being nigh, I imagine some people have theirs already or this weekend or next weekend. I want to know the wild thing that happened at your Christmas party. Yes, it doesn't need to be like this year. It could have been. And let's keep workplaces

out of it because it's the second last day of work for us. We don't want any legal meetings tomorrow. I would love to not have one before the end of the year. It could have been... And let's keep workplaces out of it because it's the second last day of work for us. We don't want any legal meetings tomorrow. I would love to not have one before the end of the year. I'm done with meetings for 2023. I mean, I've been dropping some apparently inappropriate words around today.

I've checked the Broadcasting Standards Authority list of words. I'm not allowed to say it. It's not on there, you cuck. No, I still don't think it's quite the word. And it will be next year. And it will be indeed for the amount of times I've used it. What happened at your work Christmas party? Is there a

legendary event or something that went down? Can be anonymous? Yeah, absolutely. If need be. But yeah, the wild stories from your work Christmas parties. Maybe people hocked up who shouldn't have hocked up That's what I thought I didn't think it was going to be violence and discrimination

I just thought it was going to be inappropriate Yeah, we don't want those stories We want the funny stories Because I'll never forget driving through Kumeo My way to Dargaville once And this is before I lived nearby And looking up Me and my family

Me, Aaron, mum and dad there And we pulled up to the lights Stopped, looked up to the right, and there was an office Christmas party happening with a glass thing and a totally naked stripper. Bottom and top. We were like, what a weird... And just a bunch of dudes with, like, hineys in hand, like...

We want to hear the wild stories from your Christmas parties. Well, this is the time of the year that HR and the legal departments are very busy with dealing with the aftermath of Christmas parties. Yes. Work Christmas parties. We want to know the wild things that have happened at your work Christmas parties.

Jeepers Cre creepers. Yeah. Lots going on. Erin, what happened at a work Christmas party? G'day, how are ya? Good, really good. Really good, thank you, Erin. Cool.

If you want to get into it, do you want to get into it? No. Or was that just kind of a bit of a hollow how are ya? No, it was just a pleasantry. Tell them it was a pleasantry, Erin, because we don't have the time. Well, I'm at work at the moment, so I'll just keep it on the DL if I can. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, go for it.

I'm a primary school teacher, so we had our office Christmas party at the boss's house. Yep. Beautiful, hot, sunny day just before Christmas, and there wasn't enough food, and I don't think I got any food that night. Oh, that's terrible. So everybody accidentally, of course, got rip-roaring drunk, and at some point in the evening, somebody took a shadooby on the bathroom floor. A shadooby?

A shadooby? I've never heard a dump call to Shadooby before. A human poo in the middle of the bathroom floor. A human poo in the middle of the bathroom floor. And, I mean, I think we all know who it was because there's one person who was particularly drunk and ended up vomiting all over the place. Groundskeeper.

I've been drunk before. I've never taken a poop on the floor. You've never taken a Shadooby. I've never Shadoobyed myself. A Shadooby. I'm always You've never taken a shadooby. I've never shadoobyed myself. A shadooby. I'm always going to call it a shadooby from now on. So who cleaned it up? I actually got the pleasure of that.

Oh, Erin. Not your shadooby. Not your problem. Your shadooby sweeper. Well, I felt terrible. And, you know, this person was very hospitable and welcomed us into their home. And I said, I'll throw myself on the Shadooby grenade.

So that's what I did. Aaron! I would never touch another person's Shadooby. No, neither. I love that. You're a good woman, Aaron. Thank you. Let's go to Jack.

Jack, what happened at the work Christmas party? You know, guys, first of all, it is Shadooby. Jesus, that's funny. Shadooby. Shadooby. Shadobe. Jesus, that's funny. Shadobe. Shadobe. I was the sober driver for the Christmas party, so I took everybody's work keys and the car keys off them. Yeah.

And the next morning, we had a full-on manhunt launched for this car that one of the colleagues couldn't find after they dropped it off at work. On Facebook, on every site, and the police, everybody involved, the young fella went home that night to find the car in his garage. What? How did it get there? Yeah, I'm not condoning drinking and driving

because I was the designated sober driver. Oh, so someone drove... Oh, yes, see, that's not good. This is why lawyers are busy this time of year. Yeah. It's reprehensible. And you were there to do the driving for them. That's it.

I was there. I drove about four cars on that night and he was just there. So I thought, ah, lad's already gone home, you know. So I thought, ah, responsible fella, he's gone home. Naughty. Naughty. He lost his dignity.

He also got a written warning for that bad boy. Oh, did he? I've had one of those. I've had a written warning before. What was yours for? I got too drunk and I didn't wake up and didn't open up the shop, remember? Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was a written warning. Jack, thank you for your call. It's a busy time for the HR department and the legal departments as the fallouts of work Christmas parties. I'm not surprised some of these text messages. There are some wild stories coming through. Let's start with Marie. Marie, what

happened at the work Christmas party? Okay, so firstly I'd like to say, you know that game I Have Never? Yes. I always lose badly at that because I'm one of those people that's virtually done everything and every time you have one of these things, I'd like to say, you know that game I have never? Yes. I always lose badly at that because I'm one of those people that's virtually done everything. And every time you have one of these things, I can literally ring every day. Okay. You sound wild, Marie.

You sound like a year-old goose goose. You sound fun, Marie. Okay. So I worked for a travel agency in the UK, quite a well-known one, and they used to pay for us to have these nights once a month where we'd get all the different branches together, and we'd all get hideously drunk. Anyway, we had a new team leader.

I'd only met him once briefly, and we were at this work do, and I hadn't had anything to eat. I got hideously drunk. And then on the way home in the black cab I unfortunately puked all through the cab. We've all done it.

Completely denied my drunkenness that I had done that and of course you have to pay the fees, you know, and I completely refused. You were sitting there going to spew this spewery like, I didn't do this. Even though The whole thing Stunk

So anyway He waved down The police And I refused To pay So he Arrested My colleague

And I Because we were Sharing a cat Oh my god Little shit Marie Marie And we had

To spend the night In jail And of course We both had work The next day So we had to spend the night in jail. And, of course, we both had work the next day, so we had to call in and say why we weren't coming in because we were in jail. Hang on one second. I'm just thinking about it. Bye, babe.

Have a good day. Have a good day. Have a great day. Have a great day. Wait, so, who was that? Was that your children? Yeah, I'm just dropping off at school, so... Wait, a great day, babe. Have a great day. Wait, so who was that? Was he? Wait, was that your children? Yeah, I'm just dropping off at school, so. So wait, wait, wait, wait.

You're like, you're dropping off at school. You're like, the radio station's talking about getting plastered at Christmas parties. I've got to call. Because they went with it when they got arrested. And then they listened to mum be like, yeah, I vomited all over him. I vomited all over me. Got bloody arrested. Have a good day, bubs.

See you later. All right. Now that that kid's out of the way, you guys want to hear some real bloody yarns?

We need to do like Marie's story time once a week. I love that. And so what, you got out of prison? Wait, wait, there's more. Oh, okay. So we obviously, we couldn't go to work, which made us get in serious trouble. But the only reason we didn't get fired is because the UK has a law where they're responsible for you,

your employer, from the time you leave work until the time you reach your front door. Oh, that's on them. So because I was out of work too and I hadn't reached your front door. Oh, that's on them. So because I was at a work do and I hadn't reached my front door yet. Wait, Marie, could I go straight from work to South America for a two-week holiday? He's not going to his door.

And then come home. Would they cover my travel insurance for those two weeks? If it was a work trip, yes. May I pitch an idea? Yep. I want to do a second core of the week with Marie.

Oh, well, yeah, I mean, I guess it's a great yarn, but also I just love that she paused in the middle to say goodbye to her daughter.

That was the best part of my, that might be the highlight of my week on air. We're going to give you a, say to us, hold on,

I'm just going to say goodbye to the kids. There's a child there! You won a $50 McCafe voucher. Thanks to our mates at McCafe. Two great callers this week. Yeah, fantastic. We might have gone early.

Well done, Maurice. Thank you. Some more messages in. I'm just going to let you have it. Okay. Go. I'm not censoring. My boss bought MDMA for everyone on staff.

Wild. That's illegal. Then proceeded to try to eat the tattoo off one of our staff members' feet. Not how you remove them. That's not how you get them off. That's not what you do. It was at a Christmas party at a hotel, and some people decided to go for a swim in the hotel pool.

One lady hung from a structure above the pool, but as she dropped on the pool, her little finger got stuck. Her whole finger got ripped off her hand. No, you needed to mend the pole more because you should. Code Red, you should have called in earlier in the week for how did you lose a finger. How did you lose a finger?

That's a double lady. Better late than never actually. I got so drunk on my work Christmas party I drank, flashed, gyrated and vomited all over the guy I had a work crush on. Oh no. Married now? Twice. Must have been magical. 18 years later we're happily married to four kids. I no longer gyrate or vomit

on him. Okay, get rid of the vomiting but feel free to gyrate. But after 18 years you do lose the magic. Get on top! We're at 13 and I still gyrate. Get up there girl! Alright, bounce around. Here we go. This is the one I told you Fletcher's with a text with Yellowstone energy. Oh yeah, I just All right, bounce around. Here we go. This is the one I told you, Fletcher. There's a text with Yellowstone Energy. Oh, yeah.

I just finished season two last night. I work on a farm and our work is always a big one. Mechanical bull, drunk competition bouncy castles. And one year, one of the workers even got branded with the company logo. Big Yellowstone Energy. Enormously overweight, balding, sweaty finance manager in his late 50s of a big company with a young 20-something girl from accounting all over him. We all stood there shook as the two of them were getting it on

in the corner before they left together in a cab. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. She never came back to work in the new year. She was too embarrassed. You can't live that down. Do you know one of my first jobs was at a radio station and I got to do the midnight till 6 a.m. shift.

Fun. And I turned up and the Christmas party, the office Christmas party was next door. They were all next door at the bar. But when I went to buzz in to go to my work shift at like just before midnight, the sales manager was hooking up with one of the hot blonde sales reps.

And he was married. Oh. And I knew one of his kids. We got a naughty boy. Naughty boy. Naughty boy. It was a South Christmas party. We played spin the bottle.

Things really got heated up and we kind of almost had a work orgy. Okay, where's this workplace? Oh my God, what's this bottle doing on our table? That's crazy. Oh, another one in the bag. It's a Versace bag as well. If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates.

You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here.
