Yeah, it is the return of the home show this weekend.

And of course... For Aucklanders. For Auckland home show. Yeah, it hasn't been around for a few years because of... I thought you guys heard about this pandemic. It doesn't sound good. Really?

Yeah. What's that? It's't sound good. Really? Yeah. What's that? It's a disease. It's a communicative disease. Yeah, no, I wouldn't worry about it.

If you hadn't heard about it, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But it's been off, but of course, nothing says the home show like the jingle. See you at the home show, at the home show,

see you at the home show. Show. The show. Oh. Top six other ways to sing the home show at the home show see you at the home show show the show top six other ways to sing the home show jingle different genres oh my god I'm looking forward to this this is inspired by the fact

that I got a ride with Hayley and as usual when she's got her phone plugged in it is the most unpredictable mix of songs we arrived to we left to In the Jungle, The Mighty Jungle, The Lion Sleeps Tonight And we arrived to Frank Sinatra's Luck Be a Lady Tonight It's all over the show It's a beautiful playlist

Is there any heavy metal, some emo in there? No, it didn't cross any 80s classic rock Oh, we had Born to Hand Jive from Greece. That was good. Who am I? I have no identity. What are you?

Next on the show, America spending more on this one thing now than chocolate. And this will, I think this will surprise a lot of people. Wow. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, Americans in the last year have spent more money on legal weed,

$30 billion, than chocolate. Wow. 18.2 billion is what Americans spend on chocolate every year. They love their chocolate. I wonder how... 18.2 billion. Billion dollars. I wonder how much New Zealanders spend on loll love their chocolate. I wonder how... $18.2 billion. Billion dollars.

Yeah. I wonder how much New Zealanders spend on lollies and chocolate. We don't have those kind of stats, do we? No. God, no. But tobacco, $52.7 billion spent on tobacco last year. Still. Still.

There's no vape. There's no vape bar in this bar graph. But yeah, cannabis, the next $30 billion. And then chocolate, $18.2 billion. Wow. I mean... Craft beer, $7.9 billion. Yeah, they're not a big craft beer country though, are they, America?

But things like Panadols and pain relief, not opioid pain relief, $2.8 billion. But I've just looked up the GDP of different countries. Yeah. And what did you say they spent on chocolate? 18.2. Okay, I'm going to scroll. 18.2, the closest thing. They spend more on chocolate than the GDP of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Wow. That's a country you'll have heard of. Botswana. Yeah, wow. Laos. Jamaica is a GDP of $14 billion. Because they love their candy. They've got a lot of candy, you know, like Reese's and Hershey's.

The home of M&M's. They love Nestle, you know, whereas we're a Whittaker's country. But, I mean, did we kind of miss the boat here? Like, they're talking now about? Unlegalised marijuana? Yes we did. We could have been getting so much tax monies. Hell yeah. It's expensive too in America. It's not cheap.

Right. It's controlled and it's Exactly. Yeah. The cheap drugs are illegal. So if they want it it's smart. People are going to do them anyway. You know what I mean? You might as well take some tax out of the way. Yeah, exactly. And we could talk about this for hours,

but there's so much research on the benefits of medical, you know, the medical uses of marijuana. Yeah, that was the shame about it not being legalised. You can get medical marijuana in New Zealand, but it's hard to get and it's expensive. I know.

Now Grandpa with his Parkinson's is walking down the street to the bloody tinny house. Yeah. So he can have a bloody five-minute reprieve. Just remember that when Grandad passes, you could probably still get a good six months' use out of that. It's a different thing. Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's a prescription. Yeah. Nick, we have to talk about next the The king's gifts for his coronation. You know, all the Commonwealth countries get him a big gift. What have we got him? I'm going to tell you, because we technically haven't really got him anything. And then the Pope's come out saying what he's got him,

and it's absurd. Is the Pope's one better than ours? Oh, by like a country mile. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I am looking up some details of the king's coronation, Oh, by like a country mile. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I am looking up some details of the King's coronation, which is happening... Two weeks away? Two weeks away.

Yeah, two weekends time. So he's going to wear the crown, the usual one with the red velvet and the bloody curvy bits and stuff. Oh, yeah. The same one his mum wore. Is that the one the minions had to get back? Yeah. Yeah, I thought so.

Yeah, it was encrusted with rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnets, topaz. And I'll say it, well done to the Minions. They really did. It's a controversial opinion to have in 2023, but well done to the Minions. Well, they had to get the crown back from, well, then the Queen's crown, wasn't it? Yes. During that documentary. Have you seen that documentary?

No. A wonderful documentary series. Camilla gets to wear Queen Queen's crown, wasn't it? Yes. During that documentary. Have you seen that documentary? No. A wonderful documentary series. Camilla gets to wear Queen Mary's crown. That's the purple one with the Dalmatian dots around the bottom. That's pretty cool. There's little diamonds and stuff. What? Man, they look amazing.

This one. How old is Queen Mary's crown? I don't know. See, my mum gets into it. Aye, that's posh. I'm so posh. Queen Victoria wearing that one. Right.

No, not Queen Victoria. Queen Elizabeth II. So all the Commonwealth countries Victoria wearing that one. Right. No, not Queen Victoria. Queen Elizabeth II. So all the Commonwealth countries. How many crowns do they have? I have a bunch, a bunch of them. They've got heaps and they're so elaborate. It was made in 1911 for British Queen Mary of Teck. Right.

Oh, so you went to Teck. You went to Teck. I went to Teck. Yeah, me too. I went to Polytech. Yeah, but you weren't the queen. That's embarrassing. Yeah, me too. I went to polytech. Yeah, but you weren't the queen. That's embarrassing. Yeah.

So shut it. So Robbie Williams and Adele and Ed Sheeran all said no to, oh my God, do you know who's headlining? Do you know who's headlining the coronation? Katy Perry. Take that. With Robbie Williams? With Robbie Williams. Oh, okay.

I thought you just said he said no. Well, no, he said he didn't want to perform. 90s boy band Take That have officially been named as headliners, so maybe he's not there. They continued after he left. Yeah, they've been performing without him. He's like, that's embarrassing. Who cares?

I know. That's not a great guess. And then Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. And Andrea Bocelli. I mean, Andrea Bocelli is the headliner there, isn't he? Well, Katy Perry's a pretty big deal, but she's American. So our Prime Minister's going and all the delegations go from the Commonwealth

and everyone gets a gift. Everyone gets a gift. Now, I can't even find what Australia's getting them. They haven't worked it out. Some coal or something. Yeah, probably. But New Zealand's getting them a... Bit of coral.

Yeah, a bit of coral reef. Chip a bit of coral reef off. Snap off a bit of the coral reef. Chuck a couple of nemos in a bag. Yeah, yeah. It's not coal anymore. It's all a bit of coral reef. Trip a bit of coral reef off. Snap off a bit of the coral reef. Chuck a couple of nemos in a bag. Yeah, yeah. It's not cool anymore. It's all white, the coral reef. No, there's been parts of it that are bouncing back.

Bouncing back? Regenerating, yeah. It's going to take a while. Oh, we'll see to that. Let's bring back the plastic straw and sort that right out. So Chris Hipkins has announced that our gift is a donation. It's not a gift. We're not giving him anything, really.

It's a donation. Oh, no, we're not getting him a goat, are we, in Africa? Yeah, not a gift. We're not giving him anything, really. It's a donation. Oh, no, we're not getting him a goat, are we, in Africa? Yeah, well, basically, it's a $1 million donation to Trees That Count, which the Department of Conservation and Community Groups plant over 100,000 native trees in New Zealand. So our gift to him is giving us 100,000 trees. I mean, it's a great gift. It stays in the trees. I mean, it's a great gift.

It stays in the country. I mean, it's his Commonwealth, right? We are part of the Commonwealth. And it's like a legacy. They'll be called like the King's whatever. Right. The King's trees. Yeah.

More resilience against climate change and aligns with King Charles' lifelong interest in environmental conservation, which he has always been involved in. I like that then. We benefit. That's win-win. I mean, I'm sure King Charles has a Pounamu, right? Oh, 100%. He'd have a few of them at this point.

Yeah, but he can't buy one. You've got to be gifted one. But the one that's crazy that I can find is Pope Francis is also getting him a gift. Is he getting him one of those puffers? No, he's not getting him a cool white sort of yeezy-looking puffer. No, he's giving him a few shards from Jesus' cross. A few shards of wood from Jesus' cross.

I'm sorry, but even if it was the hardest wood, you're telling me 2,000 years later. And they wouldn't have wasted good hard wood on a criminal's cross. No. I'm not saying Jesus is a criminal. That's a controversial opinion. Well, they didn't tantalise. I'm saying that that's why

they crucified him. They didn't use chemicals, did they, back in the day? They didn't treat timber. They might have had some... It wasn't pink timber. No, it wasn't internal framing timber. What's that black stuff

you paint on timber? Crayolite. Crayolite. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's real sticky. Yes. It's like an oil. They might have had that.

Oh, right. A by-product of something. Apparently, he's getting some-product or something. Apparently, he's getting some splinters from Christ's cross, which was made from recycled silver, Welsh slate,

and reclaimed wood. That's how they made the cross. You're telling me, wait, they've still got the cross. I thought this was all like- Wales didn't even exist when Jesus was. Wales as a country

didn't exist. Oh, no. I beg your pardon. I beg your pardon. They're going to take the shards from Jesus' crappy cross and put it into a new cross made from silver slate and wood. Right. And then that's going to go to Wales.

Actual cross or did they just go out the back to a railway sleeper? Yeah. Oh, my God. Railway sleepers. Now that's going to last. Yeah, that's my crucifixion cross of choice. Yeah. Wow, so just shards from Jesus' cross.

It's a bit intense, isn't it? It's been blessed. I'm going to look at the crown jewels because I was like, how many different crowns do they have? The crown jewels isn't just crowns. No. There's a few crowns.

Yeah. St. Edward's crown, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There's swords. There's three few crowns. Yeah. St. Edward's crown, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There's swords. There's three swords. Cool. Yeah. Are there any bommie knockers? St. Edward's staff.

Crystallized bommie knockers. There's a mace. Is that a bommie knocker? That's a bommie knocker. Yeah, see? Beginning as lethal weapons of medieval knights, maces evolved into ceremonial objects carried by sergeants at arms and now represents a monarch's authority.

Let's see some jousting. The ceremonial maces in the UK. See a screw? Take that. Let's get Robbie Williams on a horse versus Harry Styles. I'm here for it. Great. You've got your old British pop, your new British pop,

I'll do you two for $10, ladies and gentlemen, as a home-size dresser on the Miracle Chevy. If you want to see a miracle, I'm about to perform a miracle. Now to the thing with the Miracle Chevy. The person next door is like, I'm trying to sell pergolas. Pergolas. Pergolas. Pergolas. You say pergola. I say pergola.

Either way, we're going to have some shade outside, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the home show. That's the No Stop Sex. I was about to say it happens to all of us, but my dad, who is 61, 2, 61? Ish. Just say ish. He only has like a couple of grey hairs. Sort of strange.

It's genetic, isn't it? Is it? Yeah. Is it like balding? Yep. Well, then my dad didn't have grey hairs for ages because he was a man that went bald. Yeah, right. He still had the sides. Yep. Well, then my dad didn't have grey hairs for ages because he was a man that went bald. Yeah, right.

He still had the sides. Yeah. He never had any grey. Yeah. Probably in his 60s was when he started going grey. Yeah. My dad's got like a few peppered throughout. But then like, did you ever have friends in their 20s?

Yeah, man. That started getting like either grey patches or in their hair. Yeah. And they'd dye their hair and you're like, no, let it come in. And they had that grey down the side and they looked like Reed Richards, hair. Yeah. And they dye their hair and you're like, no, let it come in. And they had that grey down the side and they looked like Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic.

They looked so distinguished. He's got, his are coming in and I love, it was cool. Yeah. Salt and pepper daddy. Starts down in the beard

and then like through the hair now. I've got them coming in the beard. I haven't had a grey hair yet. I do dye my hair but I haven't had the, you know, like, because it's a different texture.

But then if you have a grey hair, you can't pull it out, eh? They say don't pull it out? Yeah, they say not to. Don't pull it out because three of its friends come to its funeral? They say it's tempting to pluck out stray or raw grey hairs. Experts advise against it. Just like popping a pimple, the short-term satisfaction will make or is long-term damage.

So if you keep pulling out your hair, you can damage the follicle and you'll just be bald instead of grey. Excuse me, don't say it with that tone. You'll be bald. So it's more the fact that you're damaging, not that more will grow in its place. I think it's an old wives' tale, the thing of you pull one and then three,

because then I'd just do that so I could have more hair. Yeah. You know what I mean? I don't have a lot. You found the... The loophole. Yeah. So know what I mean? Yeah, okay, yeah. I don't have a lot. You found the... The loophole. Yeah. So until now,

scientists have never really been able to uncover the reason behind why hair turns grey as you get older. And now they know. We've got pigment-making cells called melanocytes. I'm probably saying that wrong. Melanocytes, melanocytes. And they lose the ability to mature over time basically And they get stuck

And they become stagnant And when they're not moving to create pigment Your hair goes grey or turns white or whatever Right And so they say now that they understand this They may be able to reverse or prevent it By doing work into those melanocytes Because apparently those cells have more benefit

than just stopping us from going grey. They can help with certain cancers. Also vitiligo, you know, the skin where your skin has patches of no pigment. And alopecia, when your hair just falls out or is gone or doesn't grow. So they're looking into how they might be able to do it to get these things moving again. And if they were moving, they'd still be making pigment and your hair would never go grey.

So now they're thinking they may have a cure. Well, how do they get those cells fired up again? Science. Science. That's next on the list, is it? Yeah, it's a few years away, but they are, like they've kind of explained it here, but I can't understand it.

Could you, like, imagine your parents or your grandparents just all of a sudden, like, science comes along with an injection or a pill, and then the next day your hair is, it's normal colour, black or brown or blonde. And then, like, would that just be the weirdest thing, seeing your parent or grandparent just all of a sudden with this? Luscious ginger hair. So the first time you saw your nan with purple hair. My nan loved a purple rinse. What was the idea with the purple rinse for the old girls? I don't know.

I really don't know. I think someone on Coronation Street had it. Yeah, but why did they do it? I don't know. Why did purple rinses take off? Silly Little Pole is next. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

Fletchvorn and Hayley. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole. Silly Little Pole End of the world is when we're I just googled how many days till Christmas 248

That still seems like a while Yeah but the fact that it's the end of this week and then next week on Monday we can say next week is May and that's insane Well you say it's gonna be May It's gonna be May I've already seen those memes

It is the 111th day of the year today It's gonna be me. It's gonna be me. I've already seen those memes have already started. Oh, not now. It is the 111th day of the year today. 111. It is going fast. It is going fast. So fast. I wish it would slow down a little. It's herning.

So we asked you, do you feel like the year is going fast, rabbit emoji, or slow, turtle emoji? 93% of people said fast. 93% I would have to agree. What's happening in these people's lives that are going so slow? Like, are they in prison? Yeah, that'd be... Shout out and good morning to our prison listeners. I wonder, I wouldn't personally, I'm very thankful to know, but I would imagine if you were going through, like, extreme medical treatments. Yeah. I mean, your chemos or your radio. Like, that could probably make the days drag.

Well, yeah. Days could feel long. If you're not in a regular, like, daily work routine or something. Yeah, that could make it feel long. What if you were, like, pregnant and you're like, oh, hurry up. Yeah, that could make it feel good. You know, like, later stage of pregnancy. Or that could fly by.

But I remember as a kid, remember when you were a kid, and could make it feel good. Like a later stage of pregnancy. Or that could fly by. But I remember as a kid, remember when you were a kid, and we worked it out. It's because every year is such a, when you're a kid, say you're eight. Yeah. One year is an eighth of your life. Whereas now at 41, a year is a 41th of my life.

So every year is a smaller portion of my life. So the years feel less significant to me, but when you're a kid, that's such a big part of your life that they go slower. And milestones. As growing up, you hit all these milestones all the time. You're constantly moving forward. Yeah.

Whereas now you're like, same as yesterday, I guess. Plodding along. I say that from a very privileged position of having a fantastic life. Even my kids are like, this is fast. Like, time's going fast now. Yeah, okay. So some feedback on it. Brianna says, I think we just need to accept that this is the speed the years go.

Instead of saying, man, the year's going fast every year. We just need to accept that this is life. It's sped up. Yeah. And Brianna's a primary school teacher. From a previous silly little poll. Oh, yeah, okay. She answered.

We can say she's a primary school teacher. You would have thought maybe her days were going slow because... Holidays? She has to deal with all those children all day. I'm six months pregnant, horribly sick all the way through, vomiting every day. Sure slows the year down. Yeah.

You were right. The old daily vom. Slow year all the way says Benny. Only had a quarter of the year and I've been on six flights, been to three weddings, one family reunion and three months of work. A lot going on. Yeah. Busy life. But that's busy, so maybe, yeah.

I would have thought the busyness would have made it go fast, though. Those of you who voted that it's going slow, please enlighten me as to how you're doing it to make it like that so I might also do the same because at this rate I feel like Christmas will be next week says Emily

yeah we better get you know the Crisco Christmas hampers sorted are people still doing that they want to have a magical Christmas

with Crisco so then yeah they will be doing it you're damn right they will Fiona says we're a third of the way to Christmas 2023

I want my third back it doesn, we're a third of the way to Christmas 2023. I want my third back. It doesn't feel like a third. Melissa said, I had my first child in January and it's already been three months. Time really is a thief. Between sleepless nights and hundreds of nappy changes,

all the good stuff in between, the days are absolutely rocketing by. Yeah, and then one day you wake up and they're 11. One day you wake up and they're calling you from town being like, come pick me up. I'll be like, I'll be there in're 11. One day you wake up and they're calling you from town being like, come pick me up.

I'll be like, I'll be there in a minute. Stay where you are. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Now, there is a woman in Edinburgh. One of my favourite cities. God, I love Edinburgh. Never been. Oh, guys, you simply must.

Been to Glasgow. And I loved it, but everybody says... No, Edinburgh's way cooler than Glasgow. Is it? If you like Wellington and you like Melbourne, you'll like Edinburgh. Oh, wow. It's that kind of cool arty vibe. What if I hate both those cities with a passion?

I don't know. Then you're an evil bad man. I'm a bad, bad man. You're a naughty boy. What's happening? Why are we flirting? Anyway, there's a woman in Edinburgh. She inherited a Georgian apartment.

You know how they've got the like townhouses that are all attached together? Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now what period is Georgian architecture from? Is that post-Victorian? George Ezra. Yeah. George Ezra.

2020. 2020. Yeah. Okay. It was a new build. Yeah. And it's world heritage listed, this whole kind of neighbourhood, right? Yeah. Okay. It was a new build. Yeah. And it's world heritage listed, this whole kind of neighborhood, right? Yeah. Anyway, so she inherited this from her parents because they died.

If I may, just for those architecture buffs listening, who are probably screaming at the radio, Vaughan, Vaughan. Georgian architecture is the name given to most English-speaking countries set of architectural styles currently uh that were between 1714 yep and 1830 so just pre-victorian so cool it's like brick and this you know it looks like four meter stud anyway so she did it up and look she's got this incredible style like really out there oh it's and greens and skulls and taxidermy.

It's a little gothy for me. Yeah, a little bit bright and a bit poppy, but it's cool. I actually quite like it. Look at that. She's got pink carpet and like big banana leaf wallpaper. Wow, it's certainly eye-catching. It looks like an Airbnb. It does.

Or like a QT hotel room. Yeah, like a boutique hotel. Yeah, it does. Anyway, so she did this all over lockdown. She'd moved back to Edinburgh. Da-da-da-da-da. And then the last step was to paint her front door, and it's baby pink. She'll never get away with that on a heritage-listed building. I know. So she did that, and she was like, there you go.

The house is now complete, and it represents me. And then she got a complaint from the Edinburgh council and saying, if she didn't repaint it to be more in keeping with the world heritage listed style, she would have to pay $20,000 fine, a $20,000 fine. Okay.

So that's $40,000. That's 20,000 pounds. So she was like, tried to fight it for ages because it was an anonymous complaint from neighbours. Okay, that stands out like dog's balls. Well, here's the thing. I imagine this story might be ongoing. We may

return to it another day because she said, fine. She's gone turquoise. Oh, no, no, no. She's been told what to do and she has pretty much ripped them the middle finger. Like a neon turquoise. And she's like looking up the rules being like, show me, show me where I can't do this.

Because a lot of councils have like colours if you're going to have a house or like some areas. Yeah, we've got it in New Zealand. Yeah, have like, you can't have, you know, this, this, this and this. You have like, if you have a heritage listed house, you have a certain palette that you have to work with them for the exterior only.

Interior, you can do whatever you want. Is that why in Queenstown, the Mitre 10 Meg is not bright orange? Queenstown's got very strict rules. That's why they're all made of stones. Earthy stone colours. Your roofs and your walls and everything. Yeah, you're right, to keep the eyesores out. Anyway, so it's an ongoing battle.

I love this woman. I want to know if you've got a neighbourhood eyesore. Maybe this has happened. Maybe you're the one with the eyesore. You've got maybe an extravagant exterior of your house. I don't know. When you see someone that's painted their house purple, you're like, eggplant purple.

You know, in Auckland, there's Mount Eden. It's all villas, right? All these old villas, and most of them are renovated because they've got a lot of money in that area. And then there's always this one house that's painted like rainbows and it's like orange, blue, pink, purple, red. And I'm like, the neighbours with their like, White House, White House, White House, White House.

We'll just be like, bringing down the neighbourhood. Or maybe that property that's got a boat on it. A giant boat. A giant boat. A giant boat. There's always someone with a giant boat. Te Atatu.

People who live in Te Aratu Peninsula. Well, no, the giant. There's a whole, this massive section that must be worth a fortune. And it's got a massive old boat just kind of parked on it. Yeah. What about Kaiparaway, Karaka? There's the pigeon house. You know, it's got a boat front and it's got a massive pigeon on the front.

Like a stroke. You know the one in Karaka? Yeah, yeah. It's on the main street. On the main street as you're driving. It's on the main street. On the main street as you're driving. It's by the cheese place. I always mean to stop

at that cheese place. Right. Do you stop at the cheese place? No, no. It's like cheese. Last cheese for miles and I'm like, I like that

because you can get cheese everywhere. Last service station for... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last cheese for... 200 kilometres. Well, I won't make it. I simply must next time. This is all the encouragement I need.

I don't want to run out of cheese in my car. Well, I know. Imagine being caught short. So next time. This is all the encouragement I need. I don't want to run out of cheese in my car. Well, I know. Imagine being caught short. So we want to know this morning, what is your neighbourhood eyesore? Yeah. Is it something that you just cannot stand the colour of something? Something a bit garish, perhaps.

Or maybe there's like, you know, they commissioned a local artist to do a statue of someone who once lived there. And the face looks a bit bingled. Or maybe it's a minion letterbox. It doesn't look like a minion. Some of those look really cool. I'd love a minion letterbox. If there's any engineers listening, you'd love a minion letterbox? Or you'd want one for your birthday coming up.

No, but I can't. In the apartment it's got to be there. Make it work. Just his one? You've got all your apartment's letterboxes and then this minion sat beside it. And it's mine. That would be so good. I love it.

And the head comes off the parcels though. Of course it does. That's why we need an engineer. Hey, it's this guy's birthday in a couple of weeks. That's what I'm saying. Let's commission an engineer to make him a minion letterbox out of an old LPG tag. 0800-DARLS-IT-M is the number.

We want you to text us as well. 9696. What is the neighbourhood eyesore. We want you to text us as well. 9696. What is the neighbourhood eyesore? We want to know your neighbourhood eyesores. There's a poor woman in Edinburgh who's trying to just bring a bit of funk to her heritage protected house by painting the door pink

and she got some complaints because the neighbours didn't like it. They wanted grey or black. So we want to know if you've got something like this in your neighbourhood. Lots of messages in. Somebody said Kaiwaka, the pigeon building in the Utopia Cafe. Oh, I said Karaka.

Yeah, Kaiwaka. Kaiwaka, sorry. My friend's dad built the pigeon building in the Utopia Cafe. He was known as the Wizard of Kaiwaka. Oh, wow. The Wizard. Wow, they've got a wizard up there too. Really?

Wow. Some other messages in. Someone said, oh. The wizard. Wow, the girl wasn't up there too. Really? Wow. Some other messages in. Someone said, oh, my God. As soon as you said Minion Letterbox, I laughed out loud. A neighbour of mine has one, and it is truly dreadful. But they can be really good. Yeah, if you make them or reckon you could make one,

we are looking to commission an engineer to make one for Fletcher's birthday. Hang on, your foyer of your apartment, which is like Art Deco era style? Well, 1920s. 1920s. Real Gatsby vibe. Yeah, so you've got beautiful polished floors. It's such a Gatsby. Such a Gatsby. So you've got polished floors, everything's like brass and nice

and slick. They're never gonna sign off on a Minion letterbox, I'm telling you right now. What if we even sign off? We get some of those ram set bolts that you get. We ram them into the tile. And then put the bolts on the top and weld them shut. They're not getting that off.

Right, okay. It's art, baby. Yeah, right. I saw someone talking about how they're clearing the pine trees in Queenstown for the new skyline upgrade. They're going to have like 10-person gondolas. Yeah. So where I live is by a pine forest,

and they're clearing it at the moment because that's what they're for. But it's such an art. It looks like a wasteland, like a desolate. It's terrible. Apocalyptic. Horrible. Yeah. Somebody else said, my uncle in Cyprus.

Must be nice. Must be nice. Cyprus. In their village, they have a huge statue of a potato. And everybody says it's so ugly. Cyprus potato statue. Oh, my God. No, I'm all for it.

It looks like a poo. Oh, I was going to say. And the top of it has got a little felon. It looks like it's got veins. That's all I'm going to say. It looks like it's got veins. Are you familiar with Dr. Doolittle? There was a two-headed alpaca.

There was a head of alpaca at each end of the alpaca. That looks like a two-headed something as well, but not an alpaca. Also, they built this in October of 21, just a couple of years ago, 16 foot tall to attract tourists. 16 foot tall? It's a potato, yeah. I would get a photo next to that.

They need more potato-y features. It looks like a short willy. Doodle. It looks like a doodle. With no sack. Matt, what was the ISA in your neighbourhood? Oh, hey. Yeah, so it wasn't actually here.

It was when I was living in London. Yeah. And it was, yeah, a bit of a posh neighbourhood in Kensington. And basically there was this woman in the neighbourhood who was doing some upgrades to her place, so she had construction and stuff going on, but her neighbours kicked up such a spank about the noise from her construction and made her life really difficult to basically do any improvements to her place

that she, out of spite, she basically painted the whole front of her place in red and white candy stripes. We talked about this when this was happening. Here's the house. Oh, my God. You're good at that. She was trying to expand down. That's right.

Hey, Matt. She was trying to do like a basement thing. And the neighbours hated it. Good on her. And she fought it for like years in the end. And I think from memory, without looking it up, she ended up winning. Yeah. And she got to keep it.

But yeah, they really made it really hard for her to do anything. She looks like a complete... All over the... Yeah, she looks like she loves standing up at a council meeting. Matt, thank you for your call. A couple of messages to finish. We painted our boundary fence orange and green to annoy some troublesome neighbours

who complained about all of our renovation work to the council, which was all consented, all legit. The boundary fence was on our side of the property line as well. So when they complained to the council, nothing could be done. Oh, wow.

Somebody sent me an address in Porirua that I won't read out. Street view that. That would be wild't read out. Street view that. That would be wild. And they said street view that. And it is the most beautiful. This garden is so colourful. There's flowers.

There's everything. And then the house. There's a blue driveway. Oh, like aqua blue. They've painted the driveway two tones of blue. And then the house is like a mix of green and orange and cream. The driveway looks like what you paint a swimming pool. Yes, that's the blue.

That hard-wearing, thick blue swimming pool paint. I love that they're so warm. I love they can get away with that. They've got green trim, but on the other side of the house, they've got orange trim. Right. But the gardens are just, like, so colourful. These people obviously just absolutely adore colour.

But fruity. Their neighbours, though, are like, maybe calm down a little bit. This is something. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. I talk about nothing else at the moment. The New Zealand International Comedy Festival is back better than ever. I'm in it.

And I'm going to use this interview actually to talk about my show. So, Brinley Stent, you can just sit there. My show, Ailments, it's in the first week. Hayley's show is really good. I'm actually here to talk about your show as well.

Are you? Yeah, yeah. Hayley's show, Ailments, really good. Speaking of your show, I actually also have a show. No, no, no, no. You're not here for that.

So my show is sort of about, no, Brinley, you are the reigning Billy T award winner. I am. One of the top awards. It's not the Fred, is it? But it's, you know, the Billy T, one of the top awards in T award winner. I am. One of the top awards. It's not the Fred, is it? But it's, you know,

the Billy T, one of the top awards in comedy. Best up and comer. Yeah, so a lot of pressure on a new show. Yeah, that's true. And you won Taskmaster. I didn't win.

She didn't win. Did you not win Taskmaster? Thanks for bringing it up. I thought you won Taskmaster. No, Angela Dravid won. Yeah, because she's a smiley little woman. And a mother.

And a mother. But I'd like to think I'm the people's princess. You're the people's princess. I'm the people's taskmaster. Yes, I gave my best at taskmaster. Now, your new show is called Frigid. Yes. Tell us about this. Tell us why you're so frigid.

Because I play Dungeons and Dragons with you. This is Brinley and I play D&D together. Yeah. She's a nerd. She's a huge nerd and she's very good at it. But your character's very... Oh, promiscuous. Promiscuous.

Yeah, I think maybe that's some sort of channeling something. It's like a therapy kind of thing. In our recent Dungeons & Dragons session, there was a lot of... It felt like a therapy session. Really? It felt like there was a little therapy, but it really assured us over and over again,

it's not, it's not, it's not. Which made me think it was, but it wasn't. Well, the way I came up with the show, so I got out of this long-term relationship, I was with my ex for eight years, and I got out of this long-term relationship in 2021, and I was like, I'm gonna make this show title ironic, right, so this is 2020, I was like,

I'm gonna have this big rebound phase, it's gonna be this hilarious thing, it's called Frigid, but actually, look at all the steamy content I'm bringing out. And then that festival got cancelled because of COVID, and now it's rolled around, and it turns out it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Dating's not going so well. Nah, not so well. So, yeah, that's what the show's about. It's about this sort of... It was also my high school nickname. Frigid. Are you kidding? At high school? Yeah,

I was 14. At 14? Yeah. How sexually active were the other 14 year olds that you had a nickname? Loose. I went to a pretty rough school. You remained frigid

but that was mostly because your boyfriend was gay but he didn't know that. He didn't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, if people want a little, because you know,

a lot of stand up comedians in the. Now, if people want a little, because, you know, a lot of stand-up comedians in the comedy festival, or if they want a little break, you are slightly different. I am. She's a trained actor, guys. Twyford Carter. Oh, wow.

Yes, three years. Bachelor of Performing Arts. Is that why you did that weird hug when you came in? It was a lingering hug. We helped. Because I see you do that with a lot of actors. These guys, any time a toy actor comes in to talk about a show, they're like, what is time a toy actor comes in to talk on the show,

they're like, what is this? She did one in the middle of the gym floor the other day. I did. We don't speak about drama school. It was three years and it's just we don't mention it. Collectively $80,000 between Brinley and I. It's the noises that happen during the hugs because they linger and you're both like, ah.

We're just warming up vocally. It's the Miranda Harcourt hug to connect. Hug to connect, yeah. It's genuinely an acting exercise that Miranda Harcourt does. It's actually, I had that with my Harcourt's real estate agent too. All the Harcourts love a hug to connect. Thank you for selling my house. I'm more of an LJ hooker.

Oh, yeah. LJ hooker's a bit more. do LJ hookers a bit more. That's a bit more than a hug to connect, isn't it? And it costs you a fortune. But you're not just straight stand-up.

No, no. I find stand-up the most terrifying thing. I mean, I do acting, but I'm like, there's a fourth wall there. Something about just telling jokes

and looking at people being like, please laugh, I find terrifying. So I do one woman sketch comedy. Okay. Sounds lamer than it is, I promise. No, it is Billy T Award I find terrifying so I do one woman sketch comedy okay sounds

lamer than it is I promise it is Billy T award winning comedy yeah yeah so a lot of like yeah just kind of like skits and sketches

but just with one person interacting with some voices that I've pre-recorded and you're on in Wellington and Auckland I am so when are you on? I am on the

third week of the Comedy Festival in Auckland and in the second week of the Comedy Festival in Wellington which is all in May I've got the 23 week of the Comedy Festival in Auckland and in the second week of the Comedy Festival in Wellington, which is all in May. I've got the 23rd to the 27th of May here at the Loft, so that would be Auckland.

It's in the same venue that Hayley's in, actually. I'll make it nice and steamy. The week after Sprouse stunk up the place. And I'll look at 6.30 till 7.25. Now, that's a nice time. That's a good time. It's a dinner before or dinner after option. That's true.

That's roll from work, freshen up. And bed from nine. Yeah, all the details and tickets at comedyfestival.co.nz. Brinley, Stan, I cannot wait to see it. Thanks for having me. I can't wait to see yours. I can't wait to finish making it.

Same. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Anyway, so this huge resurgence of Hunger Games, like everyone getting interested in Hunger Games again, because they're like a good 10 years old now, right? Like at least. Well, I'm just looking.

The books came out in 2008, 2009 and 2010. And then the movies followed. It's not like we don't have any new movies or TV shows. We've got arguably better movies and TV shows. This period was youth, what do they call them? YA novels. Youth novels. Young adult novels.

Yes, yes, yes. And being made into movies. Yeah, this was an absolute hot spot. Because is it true that Twilight also is getting a resurgence as well in popularity? This is what I think is just smart advertising because this happened with Hunger Games and now they're having a prequel or something like that, right? Yeah.

And now Twilight is having a resurgence on the social meds and they're having a new series, a Twilight TV series in the works. And now we're all just looking at it. I've never seen a Twilight movie. Have we not? I've seen one. I watched one. It's not great. Which one did I watch? The one where he gets

really wet. He gets rain on. Can we head to our... Taylor Launtner. Remember that one? He got really wet in the rain. Why do you remember that so much? I don't know. I just remember it. The image stuck out. Yeah, just the image stuck out. Can we head to Carwin and Chanelette Pyjamas? And which movie did Taylor Laundie get

wet? I'm not sure what you're talking about. He looked so wet and cold. Was he howling? Did he happen to be shirtless? No shirt on. That's why he would have been cold. What an idiot. And I felt so, I was like get him a shirt. Get that poor man a jacket. Honestly, that could have been probably every single one of the films. Right, but have we forgotten

how terrible these movies were? No, no, no, no, no. Not Hunger Games. The Twilight movies were trash. I don't know. They're good, bad. Good, bad. Really? It's a category. So are you watching them again? Yeah, absolutely. They're really hard to find at the moment. They were recently taken off Netflix

to my dismay. Right. But yes, myself and a lot of The Office are actually re-watching these. The Office gals. Right, okay. That's a chat of The Office are actually re-watching these. The Office gals. Right, okay. That's a chat I've got on mute. It's not been long enough.

It's just very active. It's an active chat. It's never active. It's an active chat. It's not been long enough. Yeah. It's not been long enough. Like, in the 2010s or the early 2000s, we had a 70s and 80s resurgence.

Yes. And everybody remembers everything from 2010 because everything's been documented in photos and videos and the internet. Also, we got to 2010 and then the years stopped because I don't think about 2023 being 13 years after 2010. No, it's five max. 2010 is five max. Five max.

We always say like two years ago, or like, no, we always say 10 years ago it was 2006. That's my feeling. But I feel like for us, like, that's half my life ago. Shut up. Shut up. But it is. Shut up.

Yeah. It was half my life ago. And so I'm re-watching Hunger Games. I've re-watched them all. I tried to download the audio book of it. Couldn't buy the audio book It was half my life ago. And so I'm re-watching Hunger Games. I've re-watched them all. I tried to download the audio book of it. Couldn't buy the audio book because I still don't have a card because I got scammed, as we know. Yes, yes, it's the ongoing scam.

Yeah, but I'm trying to re-read them. But Twilight Lady, what's her name? Stephanie Meyer. She's still writing. So I looked it up. Yeah, Midnight Sun came out in 2020. And is that part of the- And that tells the events of Twilight,

the original book, from Edward Cullen's point of view. Oh, okay, right. Because he was- Cash grab. Yeah, absolutely cash grab. Well, she doesn't- I just Googled. She's one of the highest selling fiction authors of all time.

120 million she's worth. Like, why is she still bothering? I don't know. All of this started with a fan fiction, right? Like, that's how Twilight came about. What was Twilight the fan fiction of?

No, I thought Fifty Shades of Grey was Twilight fan fiction. It was, yeah. The text machine was letting us know that that scene that Fletch loves

is in New Moon. That was the one that I was watching. I watched New Moon and about ten minutes in I was like, this is, for all the money I have, the worst movie I've seen in my life.

Yeah, it was terrible. It simply must get better. And myself and my brother-in-law watched it in its entirety, every 10 minutes pausing it and looking at each other and being like, do we carry on like a game of chicken? Wow. And neither of us wanted to be weak and say, let's stop the movie. And it got to the end and we turned the light on and we looked at each other and we said, what happened? Let's kiss. Oh no.

We did kiss. We did kiss. That's separate to the fact. I just want to say that the reason that's in my mind is because I'm an advocate for hypothermia. I don't want people

getting hypothermia in the rain with no shirt. He's also an advocate for being able to have your nipples out regardless of size. Yeah, thank you. Are they big or are they miniature?

Are they small? What were Taylor Lawton's nipples like? Just great actually. Yeah, thank you. Are they big or are they miniature? Are they small? What were Taylor Lautner's nipples like? I'm just great, actually. One moment, please. Taylor Lautner nipples. It really took away from the fact that he was a terrible actor. Yeah. Oh, okay.

Oh, okay. Sorry. No, Taylor and Taylor and Valentine's Day, some of the greatest work ever. I just say a small kind of... A small standard. It's a standard nip. Yeah.

Standard male nip. A standard male nip. Absolutely. On a woman, humorously small. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley's long weekend group toot with Foursquare. Here's to Foursquare.

They've got your unofficial long weekending essentials sorted. And with Anzac Day on Tuesday, we have made a call. It's the unofficial long weekend group toot. It's back. Maybe we're high on the success of the last one. Here's one. Pretty great first half last time. I just want to set the scene.

Weather is not great. And and also it is school holidays. So there's always less cars on the road. Why are you being negative? Why are you being negative? But the people shall prevail. I'm seeing people calling already. You're supposed to be a leader of the people, not a poo-poo. Bad luck.

So this is what we want you to do. If you're in traffic, 0800 DARS at M. Give us a call right now. You start us off with the long weekend group toot. And then if you hear it around anywhere in traffic, anywhere in the country, you finish off with a... Stunning. And if you're watching at home, we are live on Facebook right now.

Yes. And I'm watching us. It's sort of in a surreal way. I'm born. You've yawned three times. I'm watching us sort of in a surreal way. And Vaughan, you've yawned three times. I'm bored. Did you not get enough sleep? You had a late night at dinner last night.

I had quite a late night. Now, where do we want to start, Vaughan? Where are you feeling? Number two, Hamilton. You're my name alone. Also, we've got the hut represented there as well. We did this last night. And we've got a new plumber.

Fernanda, good morning. Good morning. I picked you on your name alone. I picked you on the name alone. I love this name, Fernanda. Fernanda. Thank you. Are we rolling the R right?

Fernanda. Yes, you are. Okay, whereabouts in Hamilton are you? Because this is starting us off the league. Unofficial long weekend group two. And the drop is straight, so I'm at the traffic lights right now. Okay, let's go, Fernanda.

When you're ready. Okay, ready. Oh. Oh, no. It was a good toot. It was a good toot. Good tooting from you. Do we want to try one more? Everyone gets twice. Not a good start. No, no, no. It was a good turn from you. Do we want to try one more?

If one gets twice. If one gets twice. No, no, no. Take two. Okay. Let's go again. Okay. Oh.

Oh, that loud truck. That loud truck, though. I don't know if it was a truck. That sounded like a V8 to me. The truck. Sorry. No, Fernanda. Fernanda, do not be sorry.

Okay, let's go now to Gina in New Plymouth. Good morning. Hey. Gina, New Plymouth, I don't think has ever been successful for the long weekend group two. Oh, he's lying. He's lying. Surely we've had one.

I was there last weekend or the weekend before, and it was bloody lovely, and there was plenty of traffic. Plenty of traffic. No excuses, New Plim. Gina, whereabouts are you? You wouldn't believe that I've just had green lights all the way through from Waiwakai, or it's usually all red lights.

Oh! It's always back down. Gina! But I'm just coming up to the lights near the Devon Hotel, if you know where that is. Yeah, we've stayed there. Okay, we see you. We have stayed there. We've stayed there. Okay, we see you. We have stayed there.

You're actually not welcome back. Because of the buffet. No, the soilage fee. The rest of us are still very much welcome at the Devon. Gina, when you're ready, give us a long weekend group two. I'm about maybe 20 seconds away from there.

Are we going to come back? 20 seconds is an odd time. It's an odd time. Guys, I went through. You were gone for eight minutes because you got sidetracked again. We're going to have to pad for another 10. Well, can we say shout out to Christchurch

who's just had a bit of an earthquake. Yeah, it's been a bit of a rumble this morning. A bit of a little rumble tumble. About 7.30 this morning. It was a 4.3. But the roads are still clear and good. Gina, are we ready now? Okay, I'm just about there.

Oh, my God. She's misinterpreted the time. She's got no gauge on time. I really thought I'd get all the red lights today. Gina, you could be the first. I mean, this whole thing sums New Plymouth up. Two. Isn't it?

We're on New Plymouth time. Thinks it's going to be there. Not really there. Where am I? I won't hear a bad word, Vaughan. Disorientated, lost in time. Are we ready now, Gina? We're ready now Plymouth time Thinks it's going to be there Not really there Where am I? I won't hear a bad word, Vaughn Lost, disorientated Lost in time Are we ready now, Gina?

We're ready now Okay Let's go Okay, here we go All right, Gina You've absolutely stuffed it Gina, what happened there? No

All we heard was you Okay, we'll go again We'll go again Okay Oh I heard it All we heard was you toot once. Okay, we'll go again. We'll go again. Oh! I heard it. I heard it. We had some phone issues there.

We had a gate issue there with Gina's toot. It was a toot back in New Plymouth. Gina, that's the first long weekend group toot. Well done. Now, would you like an apology from Vaughan about New Plymouth? Oh, there'll be absolutely no apologies issued today. What's set in the heat of the moment? We'll stand and be locked in time.

Kayla, whereabouts in Lower Hutt are you? Hey, guys. I'm just coming up to Melling. Oh, Melling. Melling Station. Did you see the truck in the river yesterday? Yes, I did. That was insane, right?

That was wild. That was insane. My friend Johnny said never did a truck in the river. Come on, the Hutt's not going to let us down. I love the Hutt. Okay, Kayla, when you're ready, give us the long weekend group toot. Okay, I'm just coming up to the lights, guys. Who's there?

Oh, God. We've got ourselves a new Plymouth toot here. Hang on. Here we go. Here we go. Okay, ready? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah! I heard it. It was who? We heard that. We heard that. I heard the toot heard that In the background Lower Hutt coming through With the Long Weekend Group 2

Thank you Kayla Have a great weekend Be safe Pop into Foursquare I've taken care of that It's my job I'm the commercial wing of this operation. The best Foursquare near Kayla is definitely Foursquare Eastbourne.

That's the Foursquare I grew up with. That's miles away. She's got to go all the way around the coast. It's technically part of the hut. It's a fancy hut. Charlene, whereabouts in Auckland are you? Charlene? Oh, hi.

Hi. No, you're right. Don't you be so... We're off to a clunky start, Charlene, and you were just drawing that line. Whereabouts in Auckland are you? Well, I was in the corner of Peckering Highway and Taraka Drive.

Yeah, wonderful to be over there. Congratulations. Are we thinking you're not in a traffic-y area now? No, I'm not in a traffic area now. I've got, like, I don't know, one car behind me. Oh, yeah, Charlene, you're not filling in with confidence. We'll wait. We'll just pop you on hold, Charlene.

We'll go to Casey. We'll wait for Charlene to get us some traffic. Casey, whereabouts in Christchurch? I'm just coming up to Turlitz Road, Blenheim Road, so quite a busy intersection. Yes. This intersection has had promise previously and not had a toot back. It's a busy intersection,

but these people, they don't turn. I'm feeling it. We can break the curse. I'm feeling it today. Come on. Alrighty. I'm in a green light at the

moment, but I'm waiting at a turning arrow. So it could work. Give it a hone. Give it a hone. Give it a hone. Give it a hone. You ready?

Yeah. What was that? I think there was, yeah. Was that two or one? I think it was one. It sounded like a... Okay, we've got to go again. We need the two. We need the two.

It must be two. Great tooting. All right. Go again. Oh, there was. What? You heard one. I'm pretty sure I did.

I've had to turn now. Well, we can't say pretty sure. You can't say pretty sure. Unfortunately, we can't accept that, Casey, because we didn't hear it. Yeah. Two from four, ladies and gents. But promising at that intersection, though. It's okay.

Let's go to Emma. We're about to the Mount. Emma? Hi. I'm on to the Mount. Emma? Hi. I'm on the highway now. Oh, dang. That's all right. But I can drive.

Yeah, give it a go. What are we going to lose? Yeah. I can rely on the few cars that are around me. Yes, you can. Yes. Got a bit of Bay of Plenty coming together there. That's a great van.

Okay, ready? Yeah. Bit of Bay of Plenty coming together there. Great van. Okay, ready? Yeah, yeah. Nothing. It's just so bizarre to me. I would never hear a toot like that and not respond. He just smiled at me. He just smiled at me. Oh.

Yeah, run down the window and say, toot. Toot back. Also in Tauranga, Ash, whereabouts are you? Hey, I'm on the... Expressway heading up to Cameron Road. Oh, yeah. Okay, you want to be at Cameron Road, though, for a group tour, don't you? The expressway is probably moving quite freely. Oh, look, we're just going to pop you on hold there.

We'll get you Hamish. Whereabouts in Napier? How's it going? I am at a somewhat busy but fairly fast-moving roundabout on Mearnie Road in Napier. We love a roundabout. It's like we've crossed to the guy on the news out on the field. You're very specific.

Yeah, precise. I had Ash written down because our last call was Ash, and now I just changed it to Hamish by putting an H on the start and then putting an even I in the middle. Brilliant. Didn't even need to scroll it out. Where I'm parked is actually running adjacent to a motorway, which is usually good locked, but for some reason it's not today.

Everyone's taking an early on holiday. I think also school holidays is coming against us. Hamish. I've got a good feeling about Hamish. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group two. Let's go for it. Yeah. That's a tight noise gate.

Just absolute tight noise gate there. Your phones really cut us off. I will remind you, two weeks ago. I'll try again, but I'll take you off loudspeaker for a moment. Okay. Oh, okay. Yeah, right, okay. I'm going to try again.

I wanted to try. No. No, the gate was more and more freaked out. It got tighter and tighter. Yeah, everyone's had that apple up there. Let's try it in Hamilton. Danielle, good morning. Whereabouts?

I'm just coming up to the corner of Forest Lake and Victoria Street. Oh, yeah, that's it. A lot of traffic around there. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. Okay, give me about five seconds. I'm just coming up to a set of lights. Oh, no, that's it. A lot of traffic around there. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. Okay, give me about five seconds. I'm just coming up to a set of lights. Oh, no, it's going green. Hang on.

Oh. All right, one moment. I'm going now. Yeah, go, go. Yeah! That's as good as they come. So good. So good.

That is as good as they come. It So good That is as good as they come It is Brilliant Well done Hamilton Let's just go to the stat desk At the halfway point I think we'll take a break here Yeah right

To take a break We need a breather We need a couple of orange segments We're currently We've had seven on air attempts At the Long Weekend Group Tute And we're sitting at three Now I'll remind you

At this time If the Easter Long Weekend Group Tute We were at ten in a row we were at 10 in a row. We were at 10 in a row, weren't we? Do we need Steve Hansen to come in and give us a rocker? Give us a pep talk. All right, well, if you would like to give us a long weekend to Group 2, call us right now in traffic.

We're going to come back next for Round 2. See if we can get those stats up a bit better. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. I'm horning, horningley. I'm horning. Horning, horning, horning. Fletchborn and Hayley's long weekend group tour. With Foursquare. Here's to Foursquare.

They've got your unofficial long weekending essentials sorted. It's the unofficial long weekend group tour. We wouldn't normally do a long weekend group tour. Some people are upset, aren't they? You know, I'm a man with my finger on the pulse of the people. Whether they want their pulse taken or not, I'm like, oh, that's running a little hot. Someone said,

I think what you're experiencing is a revolution of people that don't have Monday off and they're making a stand by refusing to do that for them. This is not a long weekend, but rather a disjointed week. It is.

Well, they can't call it the disjointed week group too. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. But yeah, still school holidays and the weather is against us. But so far, if you've just joined us. Three from seven. Three from seven.

Just under half. We need you to join us in traffic. Give us a call if you're in traffic, on the way to work, or wherever, and you give us the start of the long weekend, Group 2. And then if you hear a long weekend group toot, finish it off. That's what we want. If you don't know it by now,

if you don't know it, you will never, never, never know it. Ooh. Where do you want to start? Simply Red. God damn, that Mac Hucknerel had a pair of pipes on him. Let's go to Veronica.

I was going to say Veronica. Veronica. Good morning, Veronica. Fiona, how's it going? Good, thank you. Now, Auckland, whereabouts? I'm currently on the Southern Motorway. It's weirdly moving, but I'm hopeful.

I'm hopeful someone will join in. Yeah, hell yeah. That attitude, we love it, Rosica. What about on the Southern Motorway? What sort of on-ramp, off-ramp did you just go past? I just passed Tuckerninny. Oh, northbound or southbound? Yeah, I can't believe the traffic's moving.

It's a modern miracle. It's unbelievable, honestly. All right, let's give this a go. Let's give this a go. Yes, Veronica, she's hustling us. It's unbelievable, honestly. Alrighty, let's give this a go. Let's give this a go. Yes, Veronica. She's hustling us. She's so good. Okay.

No! Oh, Veronica, Veronica, Veronica. Good, good. Go again, Veronica. Go again. It was good tooting. Jazz timing on Veronica's tooting there. Yeah.

Okay. She's got a Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Just have to be patient. Come again! Oh, we didn't hear you. We didn't hear you. We couldn't hear. We couldn't hear. Did you stick your phone out the window? Go again.

Stick your phone out the window. Not out the window if it's moving because all here is the wind. Yeah. It's kind of near. Maybe just window down but phone inside the car. Is that a possibility or is it absolutely hosing down? No, it's not hosing. No, get wet.

Get wet. Okay, go one more time if you've had it. I believe you. Okay, all right. Oh, wow. Wow. I liked her attitude. We didn't hear it, but I don't think she would have lied to us. No, I know,. I liked her attitude. We didn't hear it, but I don't think she would have lied to us.

No, I know, but those are the rules. We have to hear it. Rekia in Christchurch, good morning. Hi. Whereabouts are you in Christchurch? We're at the Bunnings Warehouse in the airport. Oh, okay. All right.

I'm a Mitre 10 woman myself. Yeah, I'm a Mitre 10 man myself too. I'll forgive this transgression against Big Orange, but we'll let it happen. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. Okay. Now. That was perfection.

How could you ignore that? Is that mum tooting, is it? Yeah. God, you're lucky. She's a good woman. I can tell. Okay, go. I know, I lucky. She's a good woman, I can tell. Okay, go. I know, I know.

Let's go again. Go one more time. Great toot. Nah. Oh, nah. Again, perfection with the tooting. Unfortunately, no. It's not on you.

It's not a great start, is it? We're at 30% of successful toots. It's a real fall from grace, isn't it? Ash, good morning. Whereabouts in Auckland? Good morning. We're on the Southern Motorway as well, but we're a bit further ahead than Veronica.

Did you hear Veronica? No, she's not. No, no, good. If she speeds up, she can probably catch up to us. Well, we don't want to encourage her. No, well, we're certainly not encouraging her to go 160. Oh, Jesus Christ, 160? No, I wouldn't encourage anyone to go 160.

No, that's what I imagined Veronica would have to drive to catch up to Ash. Yeah, no, Ash, you're on your own. Now, Ash, give us the long weekend group toot. Yay! Oh, that felt good. Well done, sir, to you and to your respondent. Maybe Veronica did catch up. Is it Veronica?

It was Veronica being like, it's Veronica. It's Veronica. I'm going 160. She's finding it hard to slow down. Thank you, Ash. Let's go to Ashley, Aria, Esther. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. It's a group effort for the long weekend group tour. Whereabouts are you? We are just heading to Otia Valley. Okay. On the motorway. Cars around? Yes, we are in traffic.

Yes. Okay. Wonderful. Give us a long weekend group tour. Oh. Oh, I know. A lot of wind. Barely heard.

Barely heard your horn. Yeah, go again, but let's keep the phone in the car because it sounds a bit windy. Yeah, let's try again. Okay, we're going again. Okay. Oh, no, you've missed one. You missed one at the end.

We've got to use you on a second time. On a second time through. Go again, slow down. Take a breath. It's all right, relax. Shush, shush, shush. Okay, we're just stopping in the traffic. Yeah, girl, here we go. Here's all right, relax. Shush, shush, shush. Okay, we're just stopping in the traffic, so hopefully... Yeah, girl, here we go.

Let's get on that form. Let's get that form. One second. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. It's in good form. Here we go. No!

Unbelievable. I've never liked that area. I've never liked that area. I've never liked that area. Oh, bug liked that area. I've never liked that area. Oh, bugger it, girl. Hey, thanks for trying. Let's go to Jennifer. Jenica, good morning, Jenica.

Whereabouts are you? Good morning. I'm in Manukau, just coming up to Great South Road. Now, would you like to be counted as Auckland or Counties Manukau in my location? Counties Manukau. Are you going to the massive or 24-hour Kmart? Have you been there yet? Everyone was lining up for that.

I have not been there yet. It's definitely on my list of things to do this weekend, though. Hey, Jenica, here's what I've heard. It's just another stupid Kmart. And it's open at a time no one needs Kmart. You bet one day you will. Wait till tomorrow needs Kmart. You bet one day you will. Wait till tomorrow for Kmart. Jenica, give us a long weekend group too.

Okay, give me like 10 seconds. I'm coming out to a big set of lights. Oh, yeah, hell yeah. Big bushy set of lights. Because I see we've got Eva also in Manukau waiting in the wings. Now, is she Manukau or Manukau? I'm ready. I'm ready. Okay, go.

Okay. I heard it. I heard it. I heard it. Did you hear it? Yeah, I did. It was a faint... Your horn is ridiculously cute.

It is so cute. What kind of car do you have, Jenica? A Hyundai Veloster. I'm actually trying to sell it. A Hyundai what? Veloster. Sounds like a dinosaur. A Veloster.

That's the one with the big claws that go in the kitchen and dress it up. Wow. How much do you want for it? I'll be happy with $10,000. $10,000? For a Veloster Raptor? What year is it? I'd be happy with $10. $10? For a Veloza Raptor? What year is it? What is it, an Audi?

It's a 2014. Oh, you're dreaming. Oh, mate. You're dreaming, mate. You know what? I'll give you $10. You can't leave it without a car. Well, she'll have to spend this $10 to buy a new car.

That's not bad. It looks like a very sensible car. Is it electric? It's not electric. Is it hybrid? It's not a new car. That's not bad. It looks like a very sensible car. Is it electric? It's not electric. Is it hybrid? It's not a hybrid, but it's a car. Maybe you could. You know, there's a mark of an ugly car

when someone asks you for the electric and it's not. Because you're willing to forgive the fact that electric cars are a little ugly. Thank you. Oh, they're a little ugly. But then when someone says, is this electric? And you're like, no.

Take that as a fact that they think your car's a bit ugly. Jenica, thank you. Congratulations. Yeah, well done. Good luck with your car sale. Let's go to Eva also in Monaco. Good morning. Good morning.

Oh, we've got a group. We've got a group. We've got a group. Now, we've just had a successful toke from the area. Let's see if we can. That was me. That was us. What was that?

You replied. Oh, my God. Okay, well. I was behind her. Oh, my God replied! What? Oh my god, okay. I'm behind you. I'm behind you. Oh my god, Jenica, Jenica, you replied. We'll get to that because Jenica will still be listening and then we're just cheating

the system. Let's do it. Ready? Ready? Go. Did you hear that? No. She did it.

She did it. No, this is the problem with the Hyundai Veloster. It was so quiet. Okay, again, again. And Jenica again. Jenica, Jenica, Jenica, Jenica. Jenica, Jenica, Jenica. Jenica, Jenica, Jenica. Jenica, Jenica, Jenica. Jenica, Jenica, Jenica. Jenica, Jen is the problem with the Hyundai Veloster. It was so quiet.

Okay, again, again. And Jenica again. Yes! I mean, it does seem a little bit cheating. Let's get Jenica back on the phone and then they can tune again. We haven't created a perpetual energy machine. No, but I think that's against the again. We haven't created a perpetual energy machine. No, but I think that's against the rules. We can't have a perpetual tuning energy machine.

Yes. Eva, who else is in the car with you? My daughter, Stevie. Eva, would you pay $10,000 for that car she's driving? I used to work for Hyundai. All right. She left for a reason. Because of the ugly 2014.

Jenica is in a sensible car. Sensibly ugly. Hang on, just pop you on hold there, Eva. We've got Jenica. I believe we've got Jenica now. What part of Monaco are you in? I'm on Great South Road. This must be a different Jenica.

Let's go in. There's so many Jenicas in South Auckland. Hello! Okay, we're at Traffic Lights and we're saying hi at a great time. Okay, go. Ready? Ready? Okay. Yeah! Fantastic! That's amazing, Jenica! We're now back to 50%! That's amazing, Jennifer. We're now back to 50%. That's amazing. Let's go to Eva and Monaco. Good morning, Eva. How are you? I'm good.

Okay, give us a long weekend group too when you're ready. You're not Eva that worked for Hyundai, are you? No. I'm a different Eva. Oh, sorry, cut you off. Go again, Eva. Oh, is it me? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go again. We cut you off. Okay, yeah. Go again. We cut you off. Okay. Okay. Oh, Jenica. Where's Jenica? Where did Jenica go? Jenica!

Jenica! Where did you go? Where'd you go, Jenica? I'm stressed. I'm so stressed. You're stressed. We're stressed around. I was stuck in a green light for ages.

I got stressed, okay? I love this, Jenica and Eva and the girls. Thank you so much. An entertaining end to the long weekend group too. What are we counting the last one? Because we were at 50% and this pushed us under 50%. Oh, shoot. Go on. We have to

because we have to. I mean, are you even going to count the ones that would? Absolutely. We had two Jennicas, two Evas, and whoever else

was before them. Right. So ending up at what, just below 50%. Not bad. Seven toots from 15 attempts. Considering the weather

and school holidays were against us, well, enjoy the unofficial... And the high-end over-losses. Enjoy the unofficial long weekend. Here's to Foursquare. They've got your unofficial long-weekending essentials sorted. Drive safe if you are heading away or back for school holidays.

And we've just been... Someone wants to give a shout-out to Sonia and her crew at EIT. Taradar, they're cleaning up Cyclone Mess. Thank you very much, everyone. Shout-out to you guys. Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Ailey. Play ZM. Fact of the day is about being cold.

Shivering due to being cold for 15 minutes will burn more fat than working out for one hour. Sign me up. Sign me up to the chili bin. Yeah. Wow. You know how it's usually like, oh, if you're going to eat, if If you're going to drink this beer You've got to do this many minutes cardio Yeah Well technically if I just go to the booze store

And sit in the fridge for an hour Yeah just go to the Cancel and chiller And then I'm already there when I've earned that beer You're just at zero Yeah I'm back baby I'm back exactly where I left

Wow Isn't that crazy Yeah the body when it's cold The shivering and everything it just kicks into fat burning. Do you think that's why people do like I know that they do them for recovery as well but like ice baths or the cryogenic

plunge pools. Yeah, you're getting those little like, haze of things. No, those are different. Don't you get real cold and it does something to fat cells? The water in them? Huh. I think that's different. Okay. To just being cold and shivering and it does something to fat cells, the water in them? Huh. I think that's different. Okay. To just being cold and shivering and it's just like your body goes into like burning reserves.

But yeah, 15 minutes. So then with winter coming up, if I'm in front of the fire with a big block of Whitaker's chocolate, is that like the opposite? No, that's absolutely acceptable. I'm fine. And also during the winter we need more weight and that's what I've been prepping for this summer. It's why humans and fine. And also during the winter we need more weight and that's what I've been prepping for this summer.

Well, yeah, because of this. Just to make sure. It's why humans that live in like traditionally frigidly cold environments, like those that live up in the Arctic, no one lived naturally in Antarctica, but up in the Arctic they eat a very calorie heavy diet. They'll just go out with a stick and they'll say, that baby seal's got blood sugar.

Beautiful blubber. And then they'll eat it and all the fat and everything they eat because they've got to. Now, they said they've identified two hormones that are stimulated by cold. Iricin and FGF21. And they're released from shivering muscle and brown fat respectively. Now, I've never heard of brown fat. I eat brown rice all the time.

I thought you were going to say brown fat. I think because, you know, a tan is as good as losing 5kgs, in my opinion. That's what I call brown fat. I'm fat, but I'm slightly browner than I was in winter. A tan hurts so much. Oh, my God, a tan. And people that tan, like Sade,

my wife, she'll spend one day in the sun and be like, tanned. And you're like, damn it. And then she looks like she's lost weight

and she's out there and she's tanned and everything and I'm just still this fat Irish blob with my freckles and my freckles are like, oh, they're browned up nicely.

I'm like, shut up freckles. You need them to all join together for one big skin freckle slash tan. Very dangerous exposure to sun. So today's fact of the day is 15 minutes of shivering cold apparently will burn as much fat as one hour of working out. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Well, yesterday, Aaron and I decided to go to the pub for lunch.

You know? A lunch pub. A little lunch pub. Yep. I had one cider because I had terrible acid reflux. Anyway, but we pulled up in the car and we parked it. And then next to where we parked was a big, red, zippy, fancy Mustang. Oh, yeah. You know, like one of those.

It was like a convertible the roof was off it was shiny Aaron like looked in the window it was 2022 very new oh okay

fancy so Aaron's like doing that man thing where he's just sort of walking around sort of perusing the car

yeah yeah yeah having a look Vaughn does this but to Land Rovers yes I can imagine I always have a peek in the window

so we're rolling on the interior too but if it's convert I can imagine I always have a peek in the window so we're rolling on the interior too but if it's convertible that'll save you putting your hands on the window and blocking out the outside light

to get a peek at the interior I do this but for Suzuki Swifts I know because you know I love a Suzuki Swift have they got a

Playboy cover no you do this for your beam scooters every day you peruse them and be like oh yeah that's nice it's a new model

you actually genuinely do because whenever we get a scooter with a oh yeah, that's nice. It's a new model. You actually genuinely do, because whenever we get a scooter with a maze, like, get that one. There's one model that's better up hills. I went to one and he's like, ah, no, no, no, not that one. Not that one. No, no, no, no. That's a 2020. You want a 2022, baby. Yeah, you do.

Anyway, so Aaron's having a look at this car and I was like, yeah, very fancy car. I have no interest in owning a car like that. For me, they're a symbol of lacking something this car, and I was like, yeah, very fancy car. I have no interest in owning a car like that. For me, they're a symbol of lacking something. Oh, really? Maybe. And then these two older gentlemen come out of the pub, and they're kind of looking. And I turned around, and I was like, is this your car?

And one of them's like, sure is. And I was like, oh, okay. I said, nice car. And he said, I know. And I was like, okay. I said, nice car. And he said, I know. I was like, okay. I know. I've got the contractors clear. And then Aaron starts asking questions about the car.

And the guy is, I want to say he's flirting up a storm with my big man. In front of you. Yeah, exactly. So after you said, is this your car? And he said, yes. He didn't then reply with the question, and is this your big ride? And is this, yeah, is this what you ride? No, he didn't.

But then he was, yeah, Aaron was asking questions about it, and the guy was telling him how fast it goes. And then Aaron goes, does it go like the clappers? And he said, well, with Jennifer's minimum of horsepower, yeah, she goes like the clappers. And I was like, oh, okay. And then, yeah, he was sort of eyeing Aaron up and down a little bit and showing off to him about the car.

And I was like trying to get into the pub. You know me. Yeah, you were just there for lunch. I'm there for lunch. And then Aaron, when we were going to leave, I was like, okay, well, nice car. Thank you. Well, I was sort of pulling Aaron away and the guy was eyeing him up and down.

And then as we were walking away, we heard like, vroom, vroom. And the guy like revs the engine and we turned back and he's just looking at Aaron revving the engine at him and I think that he was a little come hither, a little come hither rev. Wait, when you said he came out with another man were they together, these two?

They didn't, nothing told me that they were a couple, but they could have been, they were the same age. So they were, do you think they were after a threesome with your fiancé? My young jock, yeah. What do you call those triangles that are short on two sides but really long on one? Yeah. So it's Aaron in a three-way, right?

He's like a very long side of the triangle. I don't even think he'd fit in the back of a Mustang. I don't even think they have back seats. No, no. They would put him straight in the triangle. I don't even think he'd fit in the back of a Mustang. I don't even think they have back seats. No, no. They would put him straight in the boot. He would go straight

never to be seen again. Fold him up in a boot. Don't forget this weekend if you want to listen to a podcast you can listen to ours and you can listen to mine and Morgan's

Sex.Life. That's out now. First episode's released. Get ready for episode two. People are hanging out for the second episode. I know. It's a real cliffhanger. For those that don't know.

It's Morgan's journey, basically, at sex school in rural New Zealand. And every episode is a day at sex school. And it cranks up. My dad texts me to say he is listening. Because when I say, hey, dad, stop listening. But he's very open-minded. And he said, I am listening. It's great.

And I was like, I reckon ep three, dad. He's out. And I think ep six is even worse. Yeah, that's quite wild. Ep six is insane. But you're going to have to wait. Weekly on Wednesday. We also catch up over the weekend with a little bit of pod with Morgan.

Yeah, what did we ask her? Yeah, no, maybe not. She was explaining how a type of contraceptive works. It was news to me. News to Vaughn this week. So you can catch up on Sex Not Live and our podcast over the weekend.

We've got Monday off. We'll catch you back on Wednesday. Bye! I counted 79 all rights today, Fletch. I believe that's a new personal record. Oh, f*** off. How many of those did you count? Oh, yeah, 79 of those too. All right, well, if you enjoyed today's podcast,

give us a rate and review. Oh, f*** off. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
