Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Bryn, good morning Welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Our last show of the year Our last stinking show of the shitbox year You know what, 2024 was definitely not one of my favourites I'd say it's the worst year of my adult life I've told you guys that behind the scenes

I'll happily say it now as we finish the show The worst year of my adult life Should we've told you guys that behind the scenes. I'll happily say it now as we finish the show. The worst year of my adult life. Should we just spend the show just airing grievances? I don't know if that's desirable. I don't have any grievances. Come on, Fletch. We must have annoyed you once this year. Let's just get it out.

This genuine friendship. Genuine friendships have hiccups. I'm fine. I'm all good. Okay, I'll start. Yeah, last show. And some good news. I don't see it scheduled in to talk about on the show today,

but congratulations to New Zealand Motorsport and also that early legend, Liam Lawson. Crazy, eh? Making Formula One. You know, I've seen this. What is that? Huge news. He's driving for Red Bull.

His teammate's going to be Marks Verstappen. Verstappen. My name be Marks Verstappen. Verstappen. My name is Marks Verstappen. The crazy thing is there's not that many Formula One drivers. No, in the world, right. It's like a small group and that's it. Who can do it. Yeah, it's hard to compare it to,

like, you would, you'd kind of put it above a gold medal. Wow. Apologies to our Olympic listeners. They give out, no, come on. Get your gold medals out. I was going to say, I'm not saying I've got gold medals, but they give out, at the Olympics,

they give out tons of gold medals. It's almost like, it's like a New Zealander becoming. Like Lisa Carrington's got 5,000 or 18,000 gold medals by now. And there is no one like Lisa Carrington, but I'd say this is like, it's pretty amazing. It's like in New Zealand becoming an astronaut. It is.

It's very hard to do. It's very hard. It lacks a sporting... It's actually a better analogy, to be honest. It totally is. It's a better comparison. Yeah, thank you.

Because, yeah, it's better than a sports comparison. But what's he like at parallel parking? Just saying. Fast, man. Can't do it. He can't do it. No, he'll just keep going around the block

until he finds what he can drive into. Exactly. Classic. I've seen him try to back down a narrow driveway too. He can't back a trailer, which is wild. That was just a New Zealander in me wanting to just mow him down. He's got to be crap at something.

On the show today, to wrap up the year, Hayley's version returns. This is where you take a popular song and change the lyrics. This year, I have grabbed a very popular song indeed. And I think it's going to delight many people. Okay. Full 2024 wrap up. Okay.

The creator of Segway died on a Segway. Can we snopes that? I'll Google that. Can you snopes that? I was just looking at the first USB flash drive because I wanted to find out how big it was. Like how many gigabytes. Oh, it's 512 gig...

No, that's not right. No way. That's today. No, they were tiny. So five... I remember there was 256 megs, but there were smaller ones than that as well. But it always went in that magical number, right?

It was 256, 512. Yeah. Went up like that. But there were tiny USB points. It was so pointless. It was like a three decent sized photos on it. And then that was it. Eight megabytes of storage.

Yeah. That's how much they had. Piece of shit. Get out of here. When you got a free one or someone gave you one and it had eight megabytes and you're like I can't fit an episode of Lost downloaded off Pirate Bay on this.

So Dean Kamen invented Segway but it was purchased by a parent company, Segway like the inventor of the thing. But the guy who created the brand and the company Segway,

he died on a Segway off a cliff. So he did actually die. Right. Jimmy Heselden fell off a cliff while riding his Segway near his home. I will say

they're not off-road devices. I know some of them are off-road ones, but they're not off-road devices. You're embarrassing yourself. The first ever space station cruise,

silly little boys, silly little boys. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little boys It is so silly, silly, silly That silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole Silly little pole

Silly little pole Today's little poll. Do you block your exes once you've broken up? I mean, I guess it depends if it's amicable. This is the situation. I read an article from a relationship expert around the rules around blocking people after you break up with them. What are the rules?

Like when should you or when like maybe you don't have to? Because I never have. The hide's a good one. Yeah. Because then you don't see their stuff, but you can have a little look to see. Who dat? Yeah. So when their behavior was terrible, for example, and that's why you broke up,

block. Yep. Understandable. When you have agreed to no contact, maybe to make the breakup easier, block. Because that's going to

make it easier for you. If you're trying to get a reaction from them by blocking them, don't block. Yeah. I think those are really good rules.

Yeah. Avoiding being honest about your feelings, Don't block. Yeah. I think those are really good rules. Yeah. Avoiding being honest about your feelings. Don't block. Using blocking as an ultimatum. Don't block. A temporary pause for healing. Block. Yeah.

Great rules. And just hide them so you don't see them. Have a hide. So they're not always like reminding you. I mean, if you were the one that wanted to break it off, it's going to be a lot easier, isn't it? Absolutely. Yeah.

You're calling the shots, really. Producer Carwen, you've been blocked after a break-up. No, no, no, no, no, no. I've blocked. Oh, you've blocked. Yeah, to be honest, I think most of my exes are blocked. It's just easier. Don't reach out to me.

There's a common thread there, common thread. Yeah, yeah. It's me. I've blocked all of them. On the proper Midsmith. No, I've blocked. I don't want a 2am message drunk being like, hee hee, how are you?

I don't care. Oh, yeah. Do you think your exes would send you that? I've had them do that. I did it once. I've done it once. And I don't want, it's easy to heal that way. Anyways, recently, one of my exes, I think,

has discovered that they've been blocked. This is a very long time ago ex. I'm talking like four, five years ago. Right. He's followed my book account. Oh, yeah, he still wants to know what she's up to. I'm saying what you're reading. What's she reading?

I know he doesn't read. Are any of the main male characters anything like me? Because that would mean she's thinking of me. That's the thing. That's the psychology there. Yeah, someone's thinking that, aren't they? Wow. Isn't it? Have you even found there Yeah someone's thinking that aren't they Wow Isn't it

Have you even found out That someone's blocked you How would you know Yeah If you go looking for them If you go looking for them And you can't find them But you know they have Instagram

I just found out Recently that I was blocked by an ex Yeah Because I saw him in public And he snubbed me And I was like rude And then I was like I wonder if we still follow each other

And I was blocked He's married now So I think it's a wife issue but so if you put in their name it would not show up but if you've got a second account that never occurred to me

like you've got a reno account you could then search for them on that and they will come up if they haven't blocked that because do you know someone recently blocked our friend Big Hearted James? Oh, who? Who? This just random guy. They weren't even

going out or anything. Here's a heartbreaker because he's got such a big heart. He was just like, I can't find this guy on Instagram. And then I searched on my account and I found him and James was like, why would he block me? Is it a jealousy thing? Like he doesn't want to see James live in his best life? I don't know.

But he's got no reason to like block it. It's so bizarre. I just looked up one of my exes and he follows me and I don't follow him and now it feels odd to follow him back but he's got a private account. Let's go through the poll results for Silly Little Pole. I'm just going to hit it. Follow back. Do you block...

Follow back. I just followed back. You know what's weird? Hayley, June Sproul. At 6.22 in the morning. On the eve of our month-long hiatus. I just want to wrap my eyes around him. You're going to have all this time on your hands,

and now you've followed an ex. I just want to get eyes on the guy. You want to get eyes on him? Who's not? You're wild. Do you block exes is today's silly little poll. It's pretty close because we've had some shocking gaps like recently in our silly little poll.

Do you block your ex after breakup? 52% said no. 48% said yes. How about that? Very close. I wonder if we should have done options for block or unfollow. Yeah, mute. Do you think it's a little less harsh if you unfollow them?

Yeah, for sure. Because that's more just like, I just don't need to see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I can if I want. Lucy said, I know I don't, but I'm too old, you can't block a landline. I'm pretty sure you can if you give Spark a call, hon. Yeah, you can, eh? I think you can.

You'd be like, hello, we need this number not to be able to call our number, please. Yeah, thank you. It's 09-414. Kate said, because if I block them, then I can't be nosy. So why would I? I know. Yeah, because you want to see if that friend that they had when you were going out is still their friend now.

Totally. Or if there was some overlap. Mason has messaged, and we get a lot of feedback From Mason He's a dairy farmer In the South Island He actually sent me a message Last night saying

Have a good break to the crew And he also said Good morning crew Good morning Good morning crew He said when you go for Yep In the cow shed

Yeah It makes the cows do poops Really I'd like to just put that To other dairy farmers who listen to the show and flinch. There's something about the laugh. The frequency vibrates through the cows when they do poops.

So what you're saying is that I am contributing somewhat to the ozone layer and the CO2 emissions. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley, laugh out louder. Poop out harder? Tan faster because there's less ozone. Yeah. Mason said, yes, you block them because you never follow up with the dump once the trash has been taken.

Whoa! That's amazing. That's amazing. That could be a quote on a calendar next year. Could be. I love that. I feel like he's said that to someone's face before. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That would hurt. That would hurt. Get out of here, darling. There you go. Kat says, it's a mute situation, not a block. Yeah.

It's a mute. I agree. So you've got to go looking for it when you want to see it. You don't just ruin your day. I blocked until I've happily moved on, then unblocked, so if they search me,

they can see cute couple pics of me and the new one and the dog that he never let me have. Feels like there's some good healing there. We're not petty at all about that. Not being petty, just some healing.

It doesn't feel necessary to block unless you were with a cray cray. If you were, that's kind of another whole thing to deal with.

You've got to block a cray cray. You've got to block a cray cray. Unless it's an actual crayfish then give it to me and I'll eat it with butter and garlic. Yeah. Yum. Yeah. Unless it's an actual crayfish, then give it to me. And I'll eat it with butter and garlic.

Yeah. Yum. Yeah. Yum. Or put it in like a ravioli. Yeah. Make a bisque. Make a bisque.

Yum. You can make a bisque. Straight on the barbecue, cracked in half, butter and garlic. Play. ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley. The lovely New Zealand Herald have put together the best TV shows that they think of 2024. AKA, if you've missed them, this is your

summer binge watching list. Also, the things to keep your eye out on for the new year for the good shows coming. Some good shows that have only come out in the last month and coming in the next couple. So here's their list of the 2024 shows you must watch. I've barely seen any of these.

Which means, screw the sunshine, I'm indoors. Fantasmus. Heard of it? Nope. No. HBO, apparently absolutely incredible. With an F or with a PH? Fantasmus, yeah.

Like Fanta Smaz. Fanta Smaz. I love a Fanta Smaz. Fanta Smaz. I was actually going to have a Fanta Smas. Yeah, why not? It's the last day of the year. It's a Fanta with ice cream.

That's right. The Gerard Carmichael reality show. I have not heard of this, but apparently it's like someone doing a version of the Truman Show. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's really twisted and wild. Ripley, that's Andrew Scott. Oh, I've loaded that on my iPad. I've not seen that. That's Netflix. I've heard it's really twisted and wild. Ripley, that's Andrew Scott. I've loaded that on my iPad.

Yeah, I've seen it. The Decameron. The Decameron? Apparently a great TV show Somebody Somewhere Bridget Everett, so funny I love this show It's really hard to explain this show Because it's kind of about just nothing

Like small town life But it's so beautiful It's well done I think you'd like it. Yeah, okay, I'm going to give you that. I think you'd like it. English teacher is... I watched that.

Did you like it? I watched that. I watched that. Did you like it? I liked that. Oh, it's funny. It's funny. A bit of gay men are a teacher.

Apparently an amazing performance from him. Say Nothing, which is based on a book. And Shogun was their number one. Yeah. I like this fresh list, man. It was fresh list. Beautiful. But man, it was one of those watches where you're like,

I need to be in the right space. It's a lot. And you've got to watch it. And you've got to take everything in. And it's like a Game of Thrones situation. You're like, who's that guy? And how does he fit into it? And I can't remember his name.

And because it's in a different language. It's a lot. You've got to sit down. I would recommend sitting down with a legal pad and a pen. Okay. And just taking notes on each character. Okay. So here's what's coming in 2025, nice and early for us.

Lockerbie, A Search for Truth. I haven't heard of that. Lockerbie, it's about the plane bombing. Cute. You guys just totally finished each other's sentences. And it's got Colin Firth in it. Is that right? He's leading this.

Suits LA, That's February. Black Rabbit. Sometime in 2025. What's Black Rabbit? Any word on that? Black Rabbit. Not much is known about this Netflix limited series, which is the writing.

It's only just finished. It was set in New York City, in and around a nightlife hotspot owned by a character played by Jude Law, starring Jason Bateman. Jason Bateman's in. This is the one I think, if you listen to his podcast,

that he was based in New York for. He's supposed to be like a bit of a, he looks long hair, beard, drugged out, skinny dude. And 13th of January is the Love Island All Stars.

Don't care. As well. Which I know Hayley cares about and a lot of people do care about. You've just given them a massive list of quality television. It's balance, babe. You just said given them a massive list of quality television. It's balance, babe. You just said to watch Shogun, I've got to sit down with

a pen and pad, write Headspace, I'm going to do one Shogun, and then I'm going to to Love Island All Stars. It's about balance, hon. I'd sit down with a pen and paper if you were going to watch Love Island All Stars too. Yeah, because you've got to know if Becky wants Max but Max wants Jenny, but Jenny's actually looking at Daryl. Do you know what I mean? You've got to know if Becky wants Max but Max wants Jenny.

But Jenny's actually looking at Daryl. Do you know what I mean? You've got to map it out. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.

Bustling in here. Well, it's out now on Prime Video. Beast Games, 1,000 players, $5 million, one winner. What's it on? Prime Video. Wow. And so apparently the largest ever prize money on a reality show ever. Not a great year for old Mr. Beast.

That was this year. And he went to one of the, like, was it Countdown in Hamilton? Everyone's like, is that Mr. Beast? Is that Mr. Beast? Yeah, it is. Countdown on Hamilton. Yeah. He does a lot of good stuff.

I think that people will always try to find his. Yeah, it's very interesting. No, I mean, like, and his humanitarian work and. Charity. Philanthropy. Philanges. His philanthropy. His philandrophies.

Yeah. Mr. Beast rents ancient Egypt pyramids for 100 hours. He's going to shoot a whole lot of videos there. Does it say how much that costs? I think that is on you, Mr Beast. Yeah, people have rented before the pyramids. I don't have a, I can't see a cost here. Right.

Go on your website. But apparently. Go on the FAQs. Pyramids. Hire me. Somebody said it's an explore anywhere. Hiring. Oh, what?

He could unleash some mummy-esque type curse on the world. But we don't touch those. That would be such a 2024, because it was always the nosy archaeologists that did it in the movies. Yes. But in 2024, it's the content creator looking to really get some good content

that unleashes a curse on the world. Love that. And then can't put it away. So asks their fans to just join their Patreon. Oh, God. Oh, God. Well, I know the top six are world monuments I'd hire before I hired the pyramids. Dusty.

If you wanted to, you could recreate parts of the animated classic Aladdin. Yeah. You could do that. Yeah. There's not much inside. Isn't there? Just tombs. That's great because there's room for my elephants when I do the Prince Ali song.

Yeah, great. With Robin Williams singing. R.I.P. Number five on the list of the top six world monuments I'd hire before I hired the pyramids. I'd hire the Eiffel Tower. I'd stand the apartment on the Eiffel Tower too. Yeah, there is one. There is, isn't there, a post shop?

of China and recreate from the classic animated movie Mulan. Great. Where I would play both Mulan and everybody else. Not problematic. Except the hoarding Mongolians. I'd get authentic Mongolians. Great.

Good. Number three on the list because I hire right. I hire ethically. Yeah, you are an ethical guy. Although I will be playing an Asian woman. That's fine. That's fine.

Three, Statue of Liberty. Yeah, great. And I would recreate classic movie Ghostbusters 2. Oh, yeah, great. Where they squirt the goo all through the Statue of Liberty and then it dances. Have you guys been in the Statue of Liberty? No.

No, neither. They closed it. You can't go into it anymore. They closed it. Have they opened it now? No, you can't go into it anymore. I thought you'd go in the crown. Can you imagine the line to get it up?

It would be... You used to be able to get in there. Yeah, ages ago. You can't go into it anymore. I thought you'd go in the crown. Can you imagine the line to get it up? It would be... You used to be able to get in there. Yeah, ages ago. You can't go in the statue. It would be another thing Al-Qaeda ruined. God, Al-Qaeda. I don't know who this Alan-Qaeda is, but he's ruined. God damn it, Alan.

I think you can go into the head now. But it was shut down for a while after 9-11. It's a fortune. That's just not a go situation. So no, you can go into the head now. But it was shut down for a while after 9-11. It would cost a fortune. That's just not a go situation. So no, you can go. I'm actually playing Spider-Man 2 at the moment and I am planning to zip, zip, zip web shoot across to the virtual Statue of Liberty,

which is as close as I'm going to get. In any time soon. Or maybe you can't because some websites are saying you can't. I don't know. I don't think you can. Someone needs to get a bit of Brasso on her, though. She's gone very green. Very green.

Have you seen what it looked like when they first got it? The copper, and it was that beautiful coppery bronze colour. Yeah. Give it a wash, you know. Get some wet and forget on there. Number two on the list of the top six world monuments I'd hire before I hired the pyramids, Buckingham Palace. Oh, that'd be fun.

Wouldn't it be fun having a weekend at Buckingham Palace with your closest, nearest and dearest? I would spend the whole time making those guards try to break out of their expression. I would be inside the palace

whistling for the guard to beat you. Yeah, I'm like, beat him. Beat the peasant who's trying to aggravate your permission from the king. And number one on the list

of the top six world monuments I'd hire before I hired the pyramids, I'd hire the Inca pyramids. Oh yeah, way more fun. Yeah. And chocolate too. Yeah, good fun. Chocolate, virgin sacrificing into

Burritos, margaritas. I'm there. I'm there. We're there. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. This is terrible news. If like me, you grew up in the 90s and 2000s,

John Marsden passed away. Who? Australian author wrote all the Tomorrow When The War Began series. Oh, I thought he... I remember those were massive wins. The girls I went to school with, the dudes never really got into them, but the gals.

Yeah, producer girlies, you big fans. Oh, my goodness. This was the only book I've read, to be honest. Really? And I read all of them. There was a movie released on it, eh? But the first movie didn't do well enough to justify continuing that. The movie,

or did they do a TV show and they filmed it here in New Zealand? Was that a thing? So there was a TV and a movie and Carmen and I were reminiscing yesterday

so much so that I paid $6 on YouTube to rent it and we both watched it yesterday. Oh, wow. And I cried. Wait, did you both pay? Wait, you shared the rental?

I sent her my account. Okay, that's actually a violation of YouTube policy. No, no, no, no. It's a 48-hour hire period. Yeah, but for that one user. Why? Yeah, I live in London on a different life.

We're going to Google knock. We're going to Google knock. Google knock. Someone's knocking. Someone's trying to get in with Google. Yeah, you wouldn't download a car. I would. I've seen you pirate before.

Trouble of a hat. You wouldn't download a handbag. You saw me pirating on the pirate ship at the mini golf. That's different piracy, Carwin. I did try pirate. Paying was the last resort. At least you're honest.

Super sad he died. He was 74 years old. It's just such an icon of childhood for me. Checkers. I remember reading super sad he died. He was 74 years old. Right. It's just such an icon of childhood for me. Checkers. I remember reading Checkers and absolutely loving that book. The Other Side of Dawn, The Third Day of the Frost, Letters from the Inside. Anyway, very sad.

The movie is like stacked cast of like Aussie icons. Like a couple of Home and Away stars. My brother wrote a song for that film. What? Tell me everything. Which one? I don't know, I've never watched the movie. Do you want my login? I've got 48 hours.

That's why PCOS women get, this is a little fact, get pimples on their beard line because it's about the testosterone. Oh, interesting. It's crazy and that's why you grow a beard. Anyway. So today's final rankings, the worst place to have a pimple. What about the lip? On the lip.

It's the barrier of things. Yeah. The lip. Nose. The lip to moustache area. What is this called? Upper lip. No, because it's not a lip. This is called your upper lip. This is the upper lip. Yeah. The moustache area. What is this called? Upper lip. Nah, because it's not a lip.

This is called your upper lip. This is the upper lip. Yeah. The moustache bar. That's your top lip. That's your upper lip. Upper lip. Oh, okay.

The upper lip area. The boundary there. Yeah. When it's between that lip, that tender lip skin and that slightly harder there, that's a real bastard. Because you can't squeeze it.

Or in the nose. In the nose. The cabin of the nose. And you don't realise. They're always under. You don't realise until you go for a pick and you're like. Yeah, they hurt. You know the best place to have a pimple?

Ear lobe. I was about to say ear socks. No, ear rules because you get to hear it pop. It goes vooing. Okay, I will say, as you know, this year I have somewhat struggled with a bit of butt knee. On the cheek. Oh yeah, a butt pimple hurts and they get quite

they're much bigger than the ones on the face can I go one step further yeah someone tucked under the butt cheek right on the string line what string line like you know how

your cheek would go like that and then it becomes the thigh like on the cheek just under because you normally get them where the undies rub which sit yeah yeah yeah

if I may get slightly grotesque for a moment, but medically, of course, from one doctor to another, Fletch, I'm sorry to exclude you here. Sorry, guys. Hurry up and get your medical degree so we can talk on an even level, Fletch. I'm so sorry, guys. So, from one doctor to another.

It's hard for them to accept me with cabbage maths. I know. Well, you've got to do that bridging course. The actual anus. I've never had an anus pimple. No, neither. I've had a friend that had colorectal cancer, and ever since, it's top of mind for me.

You're always checking. I'm always checking. No, no, no. It's not like I'm not going to the doctor being like, have a look. I'm just checking. He wants someone to look. But occasionally, you'll get a little bit of discomfort back there,

and it'll just be like a weird little pimple. Nah. Okay. A pimple. Yeah. On the anus. On the anus. On the anus. You shouldn't be getting those.

Good Lord. Arse, cheek, right where the bike seat sits, someone says. Yep, yep. G-string line. Yeah. Shaft. Pimple on the shaft. Yeah.

A pimple on the shaft. I've heard of that. It's more like an infected hair follicle. It would be an ingrown hair sitch, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's more of that situation. Okay. Don It would be an ingrown hair sitch, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's more of that situation. Okay. Don't get your Roaccutane down there.

Is that what it was called? Yeah, Roaccutane. No, that was a pill. What was the stuff that Justin Bieber promoted? The face wash? Oh, proactive. Proactive. No, that's the yogurt.

No, proactive. God, I was smearing yogurt on my face all those years. That's why you've got such great skin. Yeah, yeah. Youthful skin. And regular bowel motion. Okay, I'm going to go... I'm you've got such great skin. Yeah. Youthful skin. And regular bowel motion. I'm going to go lip,

butt, ear. No, nose. Nose is the worst. Lips, butt. Maybe lip, nose, butt. Lip being the worst? Yep. They do hurt. It's just so sore. Lips the worst for me. I think lips the worst. The nose is second.

And probably anal. I have to, from my own experience, anal. Yeah. Well, someone said it's called a perennial abscess.

Worse than labour proven in a research study. The pain of that. The butt pimple. Yeah. Oh, okay. No, because it's an abscess. That's a big one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just talking about a little pimple on your butt. I'm going to go butt number one because, yeah, when it becomes a big juicer, and you just sit on it. And also you can't really

squat because you can't see it. You can't get in there. You've got to get someone to do it. And that's, for me, a line crossed. Even though... Even your partner Aaron? Yeah. Oh, God, no. You've got to leave something semi-desirable 14 years in, for God's sake. Butt number one for me, they're awful.

Two is lip because, yeah, they just hurt and you can't get hold of them. And three, I'm going to go because it's my number one area, jawline. Okay, Vaughan. With a throbber. Your final, have you given your three? I thought I had. No. Had I not?

No. No, I did. I said lip, nose, anus. Okay. Okay, yeah, good. Which is the 2024 version of Head, Should did. I said lip, nose, anus. Okay. Okay, yeah, good. Which is the 2024 version of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, the chorus. And was also... Lips and nose and anus.

Great. Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Also your Rockwest name. Yeah, it was my Rockwest band. In sixth form, that was my Rockwest name. It was heavy metal. What's up, we're Lips, Nose, Anus. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Driver's Licence was my first ever Hayley's version. Yeah, you've got a new one. Got a fresher. Wrapping up the year after the news at eight o'clock. Speaking of wrapping up, we have wrapped up one thing each, including Shannon and Carmen who are in the studio as well. Welcome to our sacred space. Please treat it with respect.

Ho, ho, ho. Great. What'd you call me? What was that? And we've each brought in something we don't want from our sacred space. Please treat it with respect. Ho, ho, ho. Great. What'd you call me? What was that? And we've each brought in something we don't want from our house anymore. We're going to play White Elephant. I just wanted some Christmas music on there.

Okay, so we've all drawn an order. This is the order in which we pick. You get in, you pick a present from the thing. Yep. Then the second person will go. They either steal that present or get a fresher from the thing. A present can only be stolen twice and then it stays with the person.

I've seen this done in workplaces. But does anyone actually do it for family Christmas? Because this would end in tears. We do a main present and then we do a greedy Santa. Where you can steal the present. And it has ended in tears. I was going to say, I just wouldn't do it because I would.

Well, you wouldn't do it with kids, right? But then adults could get just as upset. Oh, the adults got upset. We did it in a work Christmas thing last year. Yeah, last year. And I was on the barbecue

so I didn't really get fully involved. But people would be like, Vaughan, I'll steal your present. I was like, oh. I think there was a pack of diaries that was just really getting stolen, stolen, stolen.

Yeah. Wasn't it? Okay, who's number one? Me! I want to be first. He's excited, but he doesn't know the game. Normally, number one? Me! You don't want to be first. He's excited, but he doesn't like the game. Normally,

I would steal the biggest present because that's how I think. You can steal your own present if you really like it. But my present that I brought in is the biggest. Okay. What are you going to take?

Get in there. That one with the bow. It's heavy. I felt that one. Oh, it's heavy. Is this Shannon's? It feels like... It's heavy.

No, we don't admit who brought water. Okay, right. Oh, it's heavy. Is this Shannon's? It feels like... It's heavy. No, we don't admit who brought water. Okay, right. It's lolly cake and it's Shannon. I've got the first off lolly cake. Okay, do not... And it's Christmas. That's getting stolen, eh?

Do not steal from me. That's getting stolen. All right, who's second? Oh, no, wait. Are we going to do it that number one gets to steal at the end? At the end. Number one gets one more turn. Yes. But only if it hasn't been stolen twice since then. Who's second? wait. Are we going to do it that number one gets to steal at the end? At the end. Number one gets one more turn. Yes.

But only if it hasn't been stolen twice since then. Who's second? Me. Karwin. Okay, I want this one because I like the wrapping paper. It's gold. Oh, gold. Wow, she didn't go for the biggest one, my one.

Wow, that's crazy. Oh, good ASMR. I don't trust what you would have put in there. Who could have brought these in? Oh, who would have wrapped it so hard? Yeah. Okay, it's black leather. Black leather handcuffs.

Wow, restraints. I would say not New Zealand police issued restraints. No, God, no. Okay, who's third? I'm third. Imagine if the police arrested you and put you in those. Or open a fresher. I'm going to open this.

Do not steal from me. Okay, Vaughan's opening the largest present here. What is it? Oh, I punched myself opening a present. What is this? Where did we get this from? It's from a Mr. Whippy. It's an old Mr. Whippy.

That's right. It's the old Mr. Whippy we That's an old Mr. Whippy. That's right. It's the old Mr. Whippy we blow up. It's the decorative ice cream that's sat on the outside. That's actually really cool. Yeah, that's really cool, isn't it? Okay. Because you know what? There's actually room for a light in there.

You can put a light in there so you can hang it. So you can get it wired up. You can get it wired up. This has big Sproul energy. However, I'm fourth and I'm stealing from Fletch. Give me the lollies. No! But now you get to pick another one. No, don't give me half. No, both.

Give it to all. So there's two presents left. Okay, now you get a replacement present. You either steal or you get a fresher. I'll steal back from... No, you can't steal back. Why can't I steal back? Okay, just give me, not the eggs because one brought in eggs that aren't wrapped. I forgot!

Last night, Hayley, at like 10.30, when I thought I was the only one awake. Okay, there's lollies, minion lollies. We like those. Oh, this feels appropriate. This feels like a book. And you can't read. Oh, I can't read because books is reading.

Audio books is reading. It's a five-letter word for love. Oh, this is a smart book. It's a smarty... What, about Wordle? About Wordle. Wow! Get out of here. It's a smarty Wordle book. Can someone steal that off me? Yeah, I love that.

Wait, so now, Shannon, number five. You get Lauren's eggs. I'm the happiest girl in the world. I'm hungry. I want some eggs. Woo! Okay, which means that Fletch, you're number one, so you get to steal again. I'm gonna steal the lolly cake back, obviously. Are you sure? I mean, you're number one, so you get to steal again. I'm going to steal the lolly cake bag, obviously. Are you sure?

I mean, you're going to get some anyway. Actually, I'm not mad. This actually feels appropriate that I get the smart book. I'll steal that bag. Love it. Merry Christmas. We've all won. Because I know that he's going to share the lolly cake, so I'm not mad anyway.

And Karwin's off home to restrain her European boyfriend. Jesus. Rich people are always into that weird shit, aren't they? They are. Are you those rich Europeans? Yeah, they kind of bought their way through the lower levels of sex straight to being like the weird stuff. They're like, I don't want to do this.

I'll just pay to advance in levels. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Joining us on the phone now, we are going to discuss all things weather between Christmas and New Year's. Philip Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz. Good morning. Good morning. joining us on the phone now we are going to discuss all things weather between christmas and new year's philip duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz good morning good morning good morning it's been a while philip it has since we obviously haven't been many storms no we also asked you to promise us a good summer last summer we were like we need it yeah the summer's a weird one it's weird we've had this spring likelike pattern carrying on.

And so I don't necessarily think that's going to just immediately stop. But I do think we are sliding into that more summer-like pattern. And certainly the temperatures in the last couple of days around the country have been, you know, still spring-like. Some areas are cold. Those in the north are still hot. It's kind of, yeah, varied. So what are the two big questions, Christmas Day weather and New Year's weather? What are we looking at?

Christmas Day, so we've got low pressure moving into the country which means it may start off dry but could end wet. And so the biggest thing that we're trying to work out as forecasters is the timing of the rain. So we know that rain is going to be moving in, but

whether or not it happens at nine in the morning or nine at night is still the part that is hard to lock in. Now, is that open to be voted on? Because I'd vote for nine o'clock at night. I'd just wait to the end of the day. I'm asleep by then. It's possible, especially if you're on the eastern side of the country and certainly

the eastern side of the North Island, better chance of it being drier for longer because the wet weather's moving in out of the Tasman Sea. I knew we should have had Christmas Day in Napier this year. I told you, didn't I? You did. I said Napier would be the best place. You did, and I was like, no, I'm going to Feverston.

I like a hot, wet Christmas, so I'll head west. This means Mum's going to be keeping an eye on the rain radar then, doesn't it, because Christmas might have to be inside, not on the outside deck. Yeah, it's exactly going to be keeping an eye on the rain radar then, doesn't it? Because Christmas might have to be inside, not on the outside deck. Yeah, it's exactly going to be like that. And hopefully people will get still the lunch they want outdoors. But it is going to go downhill. And by

Boxing Day, it is going to be spring-like because we're going to have a big southerly flow coming into the country and that drops the temperatures down and just makes us feel like, wow, it's not going to be so much the 30 degree day on Boxing Day, but there is high pressure coming in afterwards. So as we go in towards the last week of the year, we're seeing a lot more dry and hotter weather coming back in again.

Okay, let's hit the 31st because I want to be out on the deck on New Year's Eve enjoying the sun. So this far out, it's very hard to lock it in. But I've got to say, looking at the big picture, sort of looking at what is happening over Australia and New Zealand at that time, there's a lot of high pressure around. And so most of Australia is looking dry,

a large portion of New Zealand is looking dry. Whether it holds that way up until that point, but at least that's what the computer modelling is saying. And this modelling has been fairly reliable over the recent weeks. But like I say, it's the timing of this stuff, that's the part that's the the computer modelling is saying. And this modelling's been fairly reliable over the recent weeks. But like I say, it's the timing of this stuff, that's the part that's the hardest to lock in. Yeah, right, Philip.

We all know the government controls the weather. Yeah. Who told you to say that? Christopher Luxton's. Yeah. Oh, yeah. How are they not controlling the weather on this flat earth? Okay, so it's not like terrible news, is it?

It's not like ghastly weather. You're not seeing any storms forming anywhere? There's the possibility this weekend of some severe thunderstorms around the Plenty, Coromandel Peninsula, East Cape area on Saturday afternoon and evening. It might affect other areas. But as far as like a storm, like a cyclone or anything like that, no, there's nothing yet showing up.

And the tropics is in that season. We're in the cyclone season. There's like a bit of energy up there. But for now, we've got these highs coming out of Aussie. And so I think the spring pattern, and by that I mean it's just a bit changeable still. It's not quite as perfectly settled. But the winds should also be easing once we get past Boxing Day. And I think for a lot of people camping,

that's going to be good news. Yes. Can I ask you, Philip, what's your dream weather? Like, do you have a favourite weather? Do you know, that's a great question. I look at the weather like I'm a parent, and if you ask a parent, like, what's your favourite kid? You know that they've probably got one, but they're not going to tell you.

They're like, oh, I love them all the same. I'm the same. I get really sick of the same weather. By the time I'm at the end of spring, I want summer. And by the time summer's finished, I want autumn. So I like variety. I get bored when it's dry for three weeks in a row. I like hot with a cool breeze.

Oh, yeah. Gentle breeze. I like a gentle breeze. And you just say, oh, that breeze is good. You've got to say that. Yeah. That breeze is good. You've got to say that. Yeah. Oh, do you feel that breeze? I did that yesterday. That's exactly what, oh, that breeze.

That breeze is good. That's nice. Well, should we move? Should we sit out here because we'll get the breeze? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not too exposed. Come sit over here on this side. There's a nice breeze coming through.

There's a nice breeze. Well, it depends on your age. Once you get to a certain age, the breeze is really annoying to them. It blows right through you. It becomes a chilly breeze. Yeah, yeah. Phil, I've always, lovely to talk to you, especially when it's not on the back of a disaster or a cyclone.

Love to you and yours and season's greetings. Merry Christmas. Have a good summer, everyone. Weatherwatch.co.nz has got a Santa tracker. And you know, I say this. He hasn't left yet, has he? I believe a live Santa tracker on Christmas Eve with Jason Gunn hosted would revitalise terrestrial television.

It would save TVNZ. Listen to that, TVNZ. Listen to that. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Last day of school today for my kid's school, and it's Indy's last day at intermediate. She goes to high school next year, which is wild.

Oh, wild. As we go on, we remember all the times we had together. I thought it was spent together, but you're right, it was had together. It was had together, yeah. It was had together All the time The sentiment is the same Together Graduating

Can we get a Google lyrics check So now Vitamin C graduation song So now when you graduate Intermediate You have a big thing Oh no they just had a dinner Oh

They had like a graduates dinner I think they just said Put the chairs up And help us clean up And get the hell out of here Get the hell out of here I don't think we had No I don't think we had

We might have had, nah. We had a formal. I showed you guys a photo of me and Jess. A full gown, heels, formal with makeup and everything. So when you put up a photo last night of you and your daughter Indy,

I thought for a second it was you and your wife and I was like, wow. She's so tall. She's now taller than both of her grandmothers. Yeah. Take that, old people. Ha-ha, shrinking. Shrinking old, crumpled people.

Ha-ha, woman who gave me life and everything. Ha-ha, ha-ha. Your spine is compacting. Ha-ha. You're getting old. You're getting old and that's a completely different thing. I'm going to have to deal with it a different time. It's probably going to emotionally destroy me.

I don't want to. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't want to. The therapist is away. It's her last day too. So bottle it up until the new year. I'll bottle it up. See you January, babes.

I'll bottle it up by opening a bottle over the holidays in moderation, of course. But yeah, it's her last day of intermediate today and she's doing a speech at prize giving and stuff and I for 100% know for a fact I'm going to be a mess. Is it prize giving today? Yeah. Oh, wow.

But you weren't a mess last night. No, but everyone kept asking me, how are we going, Dad? That's what they kept saying. I'm like, fine. Don't ask. I'm fine. If you don't ask, then I don't have to address it. Yeah.

I know I'm fine. Thanks, I'm fine. We were talking about this a little. Emotions running high, Dad? No. No? Not at the moment, thank you. Not me. I'm fine Thanks I'm fine We were talking about this Emotions running high dad? No Not at the moment Not me I'm a real man

Why aren't you asking any of the other dads? We were talking about this because you sent us some photos and me and Fletch were like Oh my god She looks so much so grown up

and I was remembering the change between 12 and 13 and and and like when I arrived at third form and how I ended third form.

Third form is a big growing up period. Shut your mouth. Stay away from me. Crazy. Man, I went there, you know. Don't. No, not there. But I just was like, just grew up real quick.

Right. Because it's weird. You guys don't have kids, but it's weird when they start like kindy. Not that I know of. Okay. You and me, I had a few sporadic years. I think you would know if you had a child. In my early 20s, I had some fun.

That's something guys can say. Yeah, guys say that, woman. To the best of my knowledge. I think you'd know. Give it 18 more years and maybe someone will come knocking and be like, Mama? You're like, man, 2005. I'm your son.

You're like, I do not remember those nine months. Man, what a crazy wild time. What a ride. What a ride. But when they start preschool, they're the littlest kids. Yeah. And then when they leave preschool, they're the biggest kids of that. And you're like, this is a big kid on my hands.

And then they start primary and they're tiny compared to all the other people at primary. And you're like, oh, but a tiny kid. And now she's like the biggest kid at her school. And then, yeah, I've got to go through it all for like the last time. Next year. We've still got another one. You've got another one. Yeah.

Have you forgotten about her? Who's that again? The smaller one. There's more than one. Yeah, one. There's more than one. Yeah, yeah. There's a second one. Ah. She'll be doing it in a couple of years.

I reckon that and then it stings. I know. She got a performing arts award yesterday and went up on stage. I know. And was kind of looking around like, how unexpected. Yeah. Wow. Where does she get that from?

Oh my gosh. They like me. They really like me. I'm excited for these teenage years. It's going to be very entertaining. After the news next. I can still do the show from the middle of the jungle, right? No.

My mate Tom is on the run with his kids. I was talking to him last week and they're having a ball. They are. You've got room for the three of us. Well, the final Friday flashback for 2024 and we've asked you what Christmas song you want to hear, but not Mariah Carey or Wham. Slightly left field.

Boney M, that's my favourite. We want a slightly left field Christmas request. This one is very heavily requested. This one we're going to play. But some honourable mentions. Hanson apparently have a Christmas song called Little Saint Nick. Destiny's Child have a Christmas song.

The Killers have a Christmas song. Everybody tries because they want that next All I Want for Christmas. They want those Christmas royalties. Imagine writing the next massive Christmas song and or Christmas movie and then just sitting back and being like. Wham. Wham nailed it.

Last Christmas. True. The 80s. The 90s had. Mariah. Mariah. Since have we been just struggling to watch. Well, this one's a little bit.

Everybody tries. This one's a little bit left field. It came out in 1979. Wow. The lyrics tell. I'll read you the Wikipedia description of the song. Okay. Because with this song, we sing it and we have great joy.

Pause, sorry. Did you just, he said it came out in 1979. You went, wow. Wow, yeah. That's the year you were born. Same age as me. It's 45. Wow.

Old. That's the year you were born, Hon, just to remind you. Both cause a lot of controversy too. Yeah, over the last 45 years. And the song. The scandals that followed. The lyrics tell the story of the Speaker's grandmother celebrating Christmas Eve with her family

and then venturing out into a snowstorm while intoxicated on eggnog without her medication. Oh, Nanny. She's found dead the next morning, apparently having been trampled by Santa Claus and his reindeer. Then they go and get Nanny's meds. Nanny's just going to go for a little wander outside to cool off. Go get Nanny's meds, eh, boy?

Yeah, it was probably that grandma that started the fire in the hotel that put her staying on the piss. Nanny's going to get a smoke. Nanny's just going to prepare for a smoke. Your mum doesn't like me smoking in the lounge no more. Get Nanny's smokes. She forgets who raised her. The speaker's grandfather shows little concern over his wife's demise

and spends the holiday watching football on television, drinking beer and playing card games with the speaker's cousin, Mel, while the rest of the family ponder if her gift should be open or returned. Later, the family has a goose for dinner and the song closes with a warning that Santa is unfit to carry a driver's license. What a wild Christmas song. Yeah. Well it's your Friday flashback today.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer. This rules. Grandma got run over by a reindeer. It's your Friday flashback on ZM. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

And a song that has courted controversy. When it came out, it was really like people heard it for the first time and they were like, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Disgusting. They said it's ageist. It's sexist. It's about death at Christmas.

The graphic way they describe her is trampled. Someone just said that, just wanted to let you know, that has been officially banned from Fielding's Carols by Candlelight this year as it's an offensive. Oh my God. Offensive. Calm down. Get a sense of humour.

Snowflakes. I'm calling them snowflakes. Christmas snowflakes. Snowflakes. I'm calling them snowflakes. Christmas snowflakes. Christmas snowflakes. Well, our audience loved it. Yeah, good feedback, good feedback. Officially now feeling Christmassy. Thank you for that.

Yeah, good. Someone said disappointed with the flashback. Christmas tree farm is a much better choice. You're sincerely Jeremy. Didn't feel sincere, Jeremy. What is Christmas tree farm? I don't know that. Oh, Taylor Swift.

I think we've all had enough Taylor Swift for the year. Have we played enough Taylor Swift this year? You've had your fill, Jeremy. Jeremy, you've been greedy with your attire. We couldn't possibly play any more, Jeremy. Jeremy, we're chocker, mate. It's right up to here. It's right up to here.

Hayley's version. Hoo! Sung, sung with different lines. It's right up to here. And it's back for 2024, the final Hayley's version for the year. That's right. Now, it's been a weird year. Kind of lots of pop culture moments that were great. Great TV this year. Yep. Some scandals, some real bad stuff.

And also a tough year just all round. Cost of living. Yeah. Prices of everything. Yeah. So it's been an odd year. We're all, I think we're all hoping for a better 2025. Which I did say at the end of 2023.

Unless you were that person last week that won $23 million in sponsorships. It was $24 million. $24 million for 2024. Yeah. They probably like it. It's a good year. It came around there at the end. The year couldn't have been better.

Shit, yeah. Came around at the end somehow. I won on a Christmas scratchy. What'd you win? At the weekend. How much? $20. Nice.

Now, seeing as we had a deal. The biggest disappointment of Christmas Day is when you scratch scratches and you don't win. I know. But I got mine early last weekend. I'm trying not to be stroppy, but I'm upset. It was a bloody crossword. You're always supposed to win on crosswords. Yeah.

Okay. I'm going to do a Hayley's version wrapped of some of the stories. I realise I've missed out some. I got to the end and I said, I didn't even mention Lisa Carrington in my song. So here's Lisa Carrington's personal shout out. Dame. Dame Lisa Carrington and the amazing year she had. But I'm going to send the lyrics into the FVH chat.

Vaughan, if you want to sing along to the chorus, because I am covering. Quite odd you're not asking me to sing along. It's in the FVH chat. Yeah, but you didn't ask me. You said Vaughan if you want to sing along. It's in the FVH chat. Yeah, but you didn't ask me. You said, Vaughn, if you want to sing along. Yeah.

It's just one I have in the past. Vocally, it just hasn't worked. Is it like a pitch issue? Yeah, it's not. It just doesn't work. It's not your forte. So this is my Hayley's version. And to kick it off,

I have to say, five, six, five, six, seven, eight. Yay. Oh, yeah. Here we go. This is Hayley's version of Hot To Go. I call it 2024. Kind of rhymes.

Started out with hope and renewed conviction. This will be a year that was our prediction. Very quickly learned it was not all pretty. 2024 was actually kind of shitty. Attempted assassinations. Ben and J-Lo separation. Still ongoing renovations. Men in finance return their low-rise pants

2024 Reagan writhing on the floor Everything was very demure Jacob Allord is bathwater 2024 is done Trump come back and then he won Oompa Loompa looking glum Olympic brownies were really yum

2024 We don't want you around no more 2024 Why'd you make us feel so poor? Custom living crisis was a massive bummer But we were still living our best brat summer Rap boys got their time giving hope to mingers Ariana held onto Cynthia's finger Now best brat summer. Rap boy's got the time. Giving hope to Mingus.

Ariana held on to Cynthia's finger. Hanna's hacker going viral. Grew obsessed with the Menendez trial. And Diddy is a pedophile. Seymour's woke lunches. Tyson's weak punches. 2024. The year of the heiress tour.

Women reading horny books. Baby reindeer had us hooked. 2024 is done. It didn't eat and left tons of crumbs. Justin and his DUI and oh so many lookalikes. 2024, we don't want you there no more. 2024, why'd you make us feel so poor? We don't want you around no more. Two thousand and twenty-four. Come on, into the mic, Fletch. Why'd you make us feel so poor?

We're obsessed with a baby hippo and a Hawks Bay fire truck and a sexy murderer, which is actually kind of... We all end to a hot tour, a girl's greatest move in bed, and sad news for two little orphans who are presumed dead. Two thousand and twenty-four. We don't want you around no more. You wanted to sing, Fletch? Two thousand and twenty-four. There he is. Why'd you make us feel so poor?

That is Hayley's version. Two thousand and twenty-four. Yay! Great. You squeezed a lot in there. You got a lot in. Good. Yeah, that was great from you, Vaughn. Yay! Great. You squeezed a lot in there. You got a lot in. Good. Yeah, that was great from you, Vaughan.

Yeah, thanks. It's one of my favourite times of the year. Thanks. Good from you, Fletch. So good. What a year, eh? What a year. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.

Okay, so it's the festive season. Would you like some festive accompaniment? Yeah, yes please. Okay. No, not that one. I had a better one. It's so upbeat. I know, it was a bit too much.

I found this one. Wow. This is the festive season. Yeah. Pop into Briscoe's. 70% off all towels. Boxing Day sale starts now. Yeah.

On literally the 20th of December. We're just crazy like that. We're just crazy like that. We're just crazy. So I did a gig last night and it was called The 12 Jokes of Christmas. 12 comedians perform one joke each. I sung a naughty adults only version

of Silent Night, which I did offer to Fletch that I could sing today. Oh, great. It's about being in bed when your partner's asleep, but you're definitely not asleep. Ah, gotcha.

And you don't want to be asleep. I wish I'd heard you sing this song another time. And not for radio. Yeah. So anyway, I did this gig and it wrapped up at like 9.30 or something. I watched a couple of other comedians and then I took myself off to bed. Very responsible. Then I was driving, you know, I drive quite a long way home and I

was driving along the motorway. It was really quiet and really dark. Like on our part of the motorway there's like not a lot of lights. Isn't that scary? And then I like saw something up ahead and I was like what is that? And I slowed down to look at it and I was like, oh my God, it was hitchhikers. Now you know that normally. At like 9.30 at night? Yeah, on a Thursday night. Nothing. No reflective gear.

That's why I was like, I had to slow down to be like- Were they hot? What are they doing? No, they were like tiny. So I was like- Tiny people out of the house? Yeah. At that time of night?

It was so mad and I was like, I would never ever pick up hitchhikers because I'm a woman alone. Unless they're hot. Unless they're hot. Yeah. Or you can physically over so mad. And I was like, I would never ever pick up hitchhikers because I'm a woman alone. Unless they're hot. Unless they're hot. Yeah. Or you can physically overpower them. Or I can dominate them with my muscles.

That's me every time. So tiny people or seven foot tall Irish bearded axe men. Yeah, axe men. They could be holding an axe. And I'd be like, get in. Where are you going? Are you lost? Roy, I'm really lost. Oh, yeah. I know where you're going. like, get in. I can fix him. Where are you going? Are you lost? Roy, I'm really lost.

Oh yeah. I know where you're going. Anyway, different scenario. Can we sidestep? It was kids. It was two children. What?

Hitchhiking? Yeah. And I was like, oh my God, this is terrible. My heart was like, oh my God. So I pulled over

and then I was like, oh my God, are you guys okay? They were really confused and lost. They looked freezing. I was like, oh my God,

get in the car. I'll take you home. I got them in the car. I'll take you home. I got them in the car. I like had to move all my stuff. You know, my car's a mess. Yeah. You picked up children?

Yeah. I got them in the back of the car and I clicked them in and I was like, where are you going? Where are you heading? Like, where do you live?

And they were like, we don't have a home. And I was like, what do you mean? And they were like, do they have parents? No. I was like,

what do you mean? Wait a minute. It's Christmas. I know. And they don't have parents and they don't have a house. I said, where is your home? Now I know what's happening. Where are your parents?

I hate you. And do you know what they said to me? I hate you. Bring them in. I'll come in. I, no. Hey, it's your picture. Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh. For a moment there, I really thought you'd done a nice thing. Hayley, I thought you'd done a nice thing. We've heard so much about you. I can tell you what, it's not all good. It's not all good. Can I just start by saying, this lovely lady, Hayley, she was so cold.

We haven't seen her for so long. It was cold, right, but it was 24 degrees last night. I know, but we're only wearing little rags. I think we're six. We're very skinny. Obviously now, Hayley's given us some of her designer moochy clothing to wear,

but last night we had nothing, Mr Fletcher. I thought you died. I thought the Christmas orphans were dead. Oh, that's the sad thing, Mr Fletcher.

Orphans die all the time because of cold-hearted Scrooges like you. Because nobody adopts them and gives them a home. You've got all that room, Mr Fletcher. Now, earlier in the year...

You've got all sorts of guests coming and going all year. Oh, yeah. Wink, wink. We've heard the stories. I know. And we're not even allowed in his house. Now, earlier this year... We've got so many lollies and we love lollies.

You found us some parents at a live show. Yes. And you set us off. Tell them what happened, brother. Well, we got to the house, right? It turns out, they don't even think about it. They've got children in cages there. They're running an orphan farm.

Are they? Yeah. And they were taking our blood, you see, and selling it. Yeah, that's right. They were selling our blood, Mr Fletcher. Vampires, Mr Fletcher. No further questions. Don't ask. Vampires pay top dollar for orphan blood. I'll say that much. So one night. You sell them the whole orphan, Mr Fletcher. No further questions. Don't ask. Okay, we don't know how it works. Vampires pay top dollar for orphan blood. I'll say that much.

So one night. You sell them the whole orphan, Mr Fletcher, they'll drink a little in one go. Get a whole lot of orphans and slowly bleed them. So you're milking them. And you're making money, Mr Fletcher. You know about making money. You do.

You've got lots of it. You've got no one to spend the money on and he's making it. It don't make sense. I think they call them a gink in the modern society. Something like that. Sister? Yeah.

So one night, me and brother, we whispered through our cages, didn't we? Yeah. We said, brother, we've got to go. We've got to get out of here. We've got to get out of here. And so you escaped. I think one day I might be an astronaut. You know, I could feel it.

Yeah. So we escaped. And we found ourselves in West Auckland. And that's when Hayley picked you up. Where was she Taking that lovely Hayley Pretty What is she 25

Tops Oh yeah Well she's probably Waiting to have kids of her own Because she's perfect Childbearing ages at 25 And then hips I reckon she'd

Just pop out Then hips She could have one on each But like kittens Yeah Like kittens It's not the time of the year Just to have kids

Because kids are for life That No, that's right. And they don't repair relationships. They make it harder. They make it so much harder. Now, Mr. Fletcher, Hayley said we could come on the radio for Christmas and try and find us some new parents. That's all we want.

So if you're out there with love to give, if you're out here with love to give, we've got love to take. Yeah. And love to give in return. It's give and take. I think we'll need to take some love, be honest. To fill up our coffees.

Yeah, because we's is empty because they have strung in our blood for the vampires. I banned the Christmas orphans. No, you didn't ban us. We was presumed dead. It was never confirmed. By you. You sold us into that vampire dead. It was never confirmed. By you. You sold us into that vampire farm. It was never confirmed.

Anyway, I'm just looking on the text machine. Hayley's logged me in. She is. She is. Do you know what the text machine is? Yeah. Yeah. Everyone's happy we're here.

We're happy to be here. But no one wants to... No one wants to be our mummy and daddy. Haven't we been through enough? Uncle Fletcher, what shall we do? I will remind the ladies and gentlemen listening Can we come to Because we was in a vampire farm

Mr Fletcher, how much will it cost to take us to South America with you this Christmas? What's going on at home, Mr Fletcher? I'd love to go No, there's no I've heard wonderful things about these things called There's no flights Empanadas Yeah

There's no flights We might Panadas. Yeah. There's no flights. We might find ourselves an Hispanic mummy and daddy. And you keep saying something about hot humanos. Yeah. And like, yes, pappy. Yes, pappy. Yeah. I don't have a pappy.

Neither. I want all an ugly one. No. Well, there's a few texts there. You can chase those up. Yeah. People are saying Merry Christmas to the orphans. Yeah, Merry Christmas.

Someone says we have a room in Nauruawahia. I don't know about that. I think I want to go to Brazil. Boy, they do say Nauruawahia is the Brazil of the Waikato. Well, that's where we're going to go, brother. Because of the river, you see. Okay, we'll run along. We're off to Naurua Wahia.

Just follow the train tracks the whole way. We as orphans, we love following train tracks. I know you do. We're sticking on the end of the stick. There's a rag that's polka dotted and we walk along and we sing a tune. All right. Well, we'll see all the...

Is it a big sea? Yeah, massive. It's beautiful. Bloody good. All right, we're off to the big smoke. Now, Ruwa Wahia. I can't wait for a fried bread and a honey pie. Me too.

Kia ora, brother. Thank you for having us, Mr Fletcher. Right, turkey time, Mr Fletcher. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to the orphans. Be safe in South America, won't you? Not dead, not dead. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now here at the show, it's a Christmas theme here at Fact of the Day. Yeah, the week of Christmas leading in. It's all about Christmas. Now we're here at the show of course enjoy... Was that me? No, it was Fletch. Shamedick. Sorry about that. Shamedick. Sorry about that.

But we're here at the show enjoy moderation, of course. We drink only in moderation. Every time. Well, but the Irish don't. No. Now I can see that. Some Irish don't. Because I've got Irish But there is a Irish Christmas Eve game Called the 12 Pubs of Christmas

Oh my god Oh god The 12 Pubs of Christmas is an annual tradition in Ireland I reckon this is one of those ones Where you go back to your hometown for Christmas We used to do it There used to be a tradition And everyone would be like Top pub or wherever We'll all meet up those ones where you go back to your hometown for Christmas? Yeah. We used to do it. And I don't know. There used to be a tradition.

Everyone would be like, top pub or wherever. We're all made up. It probably still happens. They just probably stopped inviting me. Yeah. Yeah. Because they didn't like going out. It's like, yeah, guys, see you tonight.

No. And so the 12 pubs of Christmas, 12 pubs on the Christmas Eve, there is a, the general rule is no more than 30 minutes per pub. You have to have a drink at every pub. And you make up a list of rules. There is a common the general rule is no more than 30 minutes per pub. You have to have a drink at every pub and you make up a list of rules. There is a common list of rules, but you assign one rule to each pub. You'll be like, no drinking with your right hand at pub one, no pointing at people in the second pub,

no talking to anyone you know in the third pub, no sitting, resting or leaning in the fourth pub. Fifth pub, no one's allowed to use the bathroom. The Irish. Oh no, the fifth pub. Yeah, and you've got to time keep it after 30 minutes or blow the whistle. You must finish and then move immediately on to use the bathroom. The Irish. Oh, no, the fifth pub. Yeah, and you've got to time keep it after 30 minutes or blow the whistle. You must finish and then move immediately onto the next pub.

And it started out as just like this silly little... Well, it is silly because we should be drinking in moderation. No, but every second pub they do water. Okay, right. Yeah, of course. Yeah. So it's only six beers over 12.

No, it's three beers over six hours. Apparently famous participants Niall Horan and Ed Sheeran once did it together in Ireland with some friends. No, it's three beers over six hours. Apparently famous participants Niall Horan and Ed Sheeran once did it together in Ireland with some friends. Oh, wow. And did the 12 pubs of Christmas. And that kind of launched it. And ever since, it's just really taken off every year.

So when I find an Irishman, I'll have to partake in this tradition, I guess, in order to sort of fit into his life in Ireland. You wouldn't really win over. You know, this has got a Netflix Christmas thing written all over it. You go there, they don't like you because they wanted to settle down with a nice Irish Catholic girl. Leave that script with me.

And then you. I drink them under the table and they're like, man, she rules. Yeah. And even the mother's like, she's all right with me. Oh, she's all right with me. She's all right. I didn't want to let you. And I'll say, little do you know, in New Zealand, we've got a real binge drinking problem.

And then it becomes a PSA for binge drinking problems. So today's fact of the day is whilst we are here at the show enjoy only drinking in moderation of course the Irish have a fast growing Christmas tradition called the 12 pubs of Christmas. Fact of the day, day, day, day,

day. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Friday Jam's coming up with Georgia at nine. But it's our last day. It's our very last day of the year. And we get to take a nice break and spend Christmas with our families away doing absolutely nothing. Not even helping mum cook for me. Or mum doesn't really

want your help. She thinks she does. But now there's too many people in the kitchen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I just get some space in the kitchen, please? But the question at the moment, everyone keeps asking when are you finished for the year? You done on Friday? No, no, no, we're going till Tuesday. Some people are like, I'm not. I work on

Christmas. Yeah. They're heroes. My brother-in-law is a paediatric surgeon. Pause for applause. Your brother-in-law is a paediatric surgeon and he's on call

on Christmas. Amazing. Incredible stuff. The doctors and the nurses like, hello, donk, donk, donk. Yeah. Is this Mike Arnall?

Hello, the doctors and the nurses. Heroes. Goddamn heroes. They're going to stay in town. They can't drink. You know, they do all that. We want to Arn, hello to the doctors and the nurses? Heroes. Goddamn heroes. They're going to stay in town. They can't drink. You know, they do all that. We want to know,

where you get the cream because you forgot the cream for the pad. Thank God the dairies are open on Christmas. A lot of dairies. Well, some of them are. I grew up on a farm. That was just another day. Dad still had to get up early,

milk the cows, and then... Cows don't milk themselves for Christmas. Do cows not celebrate Christmas? No, they're Muslim. They're Muslim. And I'm done for the year,

ladies and gentlemen. It's not any better than that. That was a good one. Muslim. Ta-ta. Bye-bye. That was a good one. That was good.

That was good. That was real good, actually. Okay. Bye, Woody. We thought before we leave for the year we would celebrate those heroes that are working. Whatever it is, are you working on Christmas Day? Give us a call 0800

Dials at M 9696. I'll tell you what, there are a couple of calendars. Our Fletcher, Wynne and Hayley motivational calendars. You might need them. In the entire run of calendars. Some prizes to give away. So 0800 DARS and we just want to celebrate those people that are working on Christmas.

Dude, as the son of a... Dude, dude, dudettes. Dudes, dudes, dude, it's dudes, dudes, dude, dude, it's... As the son of a dairy farmer, like, waiting for your dad to get in from milking on Christmas. That was the original version of Son of a Preacher, man. Yeah. You're the one who could ever teach me

what's a son of a dairy farmer. Waiting for your dad or mum, sometimes it was both of them, to get back in from milking, and then my dad would be like, finish milking, you'd be like, Dad's on his way milking. And then my dad would be like, finish milking. You'd be like, dad's on his way. Oh, boo hoo.

And then you'd see him turtle off at the farm. And you're like, where's he going? And mum would be like, well, he's obviously got to feed out. You'd be like. Well, at least he came back though, didn't he? Yeah. You know what you did right. Some dads did just take off up the farm and never came back.

Yeah, exactly. I'm lucky, aren't I? Yeah, you are lucky. I am lucky. Yeah. I love you guys. Thank you. I love you all.

This is my kind of chat. I love each and every one of you. What's our favourite thing about each other? My favourite thing about Georgia is you are always smiling. And if I've seen you, I saw you upset once and it upset me for days. So never be upset again. It rocked his world. Yeah, it really did.

It did. It upset me greatly. My favourite thing about Hayley is... upset me for days. So never be upset again. It rocked his world. Yeah, it really did. It did. It upset me greatly. My favourite thing about Hayley is... Oh, we're actually doing this? No, we're not doing this. We're really... Do you know my favourite thing about you? What?

You've got a clear and present mind and you're very professional. And without you, I would be... I would not be here. I wouldn't be. Sometimes we joke. Sometimes we joke

I'd be lost without you and I love you. You can't do everyone else in the room and not me. It just feels like I just got skipped.

Okay, so messages over celebrating. I skipped. Did I not do you? You said the thing I love about you and then you turned to Fletch. It was just a minor detail. The thing I love about you is you're endlessly creative and despite other stuff that you're dealing with. Name them, go on. No, no.

You know it all you can put it all aside and you bring humour and a fresh abundant source of energy every single day that has made working with you an absolute pleasure

and certainly made my my life this year a whole lot easier that's beautiful that was beautiful so who's doing Vaughan shot not no

shot ya Hayley can I don't do emotional things the thing I love most about Vaughan... I did start by basically telling you never to be sad because it upsets me. That was a little bit... Georgia's been crying ever since. Yeah, Georgia, never be sad because it upsets me.

The thing I love most about Vaughan is that again, despite anything that's going on in his personal life, you are always ready to surprise us all with ridiculousness or childishness or just abundance of fun. And you're hot.

My 18 year old sister is working. She works for a handicapped man. She's his carer and he doesn't have any family for that day, so she spends the day with him. Oh, that's nice. That is so nice.

A lot of cow milkers out there. Alarm monitoring. I work all day Christmas alarm monitoring, protecting all the closed businesses and empty houses. Which is weird because we haven't had any criminals saying they're going to be working Christmas, robbing people of their other family's place for Christmas. Maybe take the day off if you're an alarm monitor.

I was going to say if you're a criminal, take the day off. We work a 24-hour shift for the Christchurch Westpac Rescue Helicopter as a critical care paramedic. Hopefully it's a peaceful day. Thanks, team. That's amazing. But you get to go in a helicopter, so I'm kind of like a little... Not like need to be winched, but for fun to be winched.

I want to be like that woman who got winched out of Yosemite where they lifted her up and she just sort of... Oh, my God. She was an old lady. Did she die? She was elderly. She didn't die because of that. She was maybe just going to die.

Someone texted and saying, can you play Don't You by the Pussycat Dolls? I feel like that's for Georgia, not us. Yeah. We're celebrating like emergency workers. That's a Christmas song, though. It is. It is.

Don't you wish that Santa was hot like me. We'll wrap up the show there. We'll be back next year on the 20th of January. Georgia Burt is up next. But in the meantime, if you're going to miss us, enjoy Georgia. Yeah, we do have our Christmas cocktail podcast special starting tomorrow. We have an episode every single day until we're back on January 20th. Georgia Burt, what are you doing for Christmas?

Oh, I've got the... I'm hosting! Can I say I'm hosting? I'm just there. Now with Friday Jams coming up, don't be silly and do your prank text request. Oh no, don't, because I need company today. Seymour Butts. Yeah, oh, that's a good one. Georgia only just learned about Seymour Butts. Seymour Butts is good.

It's like one of the oldest ones. It's from the Simpsons, isn't it? Yeah, it is. My favourite is Hugh Janus. It's just so good. Okay, well Hugh Janus, Seymour Butts. Seymour Butts is good. It's like one of the oldest ones. It's from The Simpsons, isn't it? Yeah, it is. My favourite is Hugh Janus. It's just so good. Okay, well, Hugh Janus, Seymour Butts. Mr and Mrs Janus, text in. Yeah, if you want to request a song, 9696, Merry Christmas, and we'll catch you back in the new year.
