The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Great Things at Brewing at McCafe.
The perfect start to every day.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Thank you Bryn. Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Two minutes past six.
Happy Friday.
No.
Right?
No, that's tomorrow, Hayley.
Actually, I've had a very enjoyable week and I don't want it to come to an end.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I've had a nice week.
That's good.
So far.
We can't say the same, obviously.
We're just going to stay quiet on that one.
Right.
I've got enough joy for all of us.
I've had a good week.
Do you want it to end?
Well, I don't know.
It's just life, isn't it?
It just keeps going. You can't make it stop. You can't make it stop, Horne. I it to end? Well, I don't know. It's just life, isn't it? It just keeps going.
You can't make it stop.
You can't make it stop, Ward.
I want to get off.
I want to get off.
You can't.
Weeks come to an end and another one starts.
Silly little poll is soon.
Do you have designated cars in your relationship?
Yeah.
Like you do, right?
You've got the Jimny.
Yeah.
But if we go out together, we'll go in the Hyundai, and often I'll drive.
But sometimes I'm just like, I don't want to drive, you drive.
She'll be like, I don't want to drive.
That's exactly how she sounds.
I love it.
I don't want to drive.
I don't want to drive.
Whereas you've got, Aaron's got the U.
Aaron's got the U, and I've got the Maz.
Yep.
So.
But he would never be like.
He'd look too comically. He only drives mine when it's like parked behind him. Okay, yeah. And he would never be like... He'd look too comically...
He only drives mine when it's parked behind him.
Okay, yeah.
And he'll just grab it and go.
And then I get into it and I fall back
because he's put the seat back so far.
And when I drive the ute, I feel like a little girl.
It's so big, I'm like...
Look at this big ute.
Yeah.
Well, that's our silly little poll today.
Do you have designated cars in your relationship?
Do you know what we also have coming up?
Vaughan's got a hack.
Yeah, dude.
What? Not a Shannon's hack?
Yeah, dude, it's a cooking hack.
It's a Vaughan's hack.
Oh, okay.
It's a cooking hack.
Interesting.
Also, it turns out we may not be too satisfied as New Zealanders.
There's been a satisfaction level released.
Yeah, and we're...
I've got some tips.
Lulling and satisfaction.
So you've got the top six ways to instantly satisfy yourself.
Okay, it's coming up in the top six.
But next, having, I want to say, nearly completed a renovation, Hayley.
Yeah.
It turns out that you're very on trend because there is a colour
that has been making a comeback and you are all over this
colour.
All over it like a ranch, baby.
I mean, you do have a lot of colours in your house.
A lot of colours, but predominantly one.
Also, does this mean that you'll be repainting that because you don't want your house to
look like anybody else's?
Yeah, exactly.
I like to be different.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, it was long mocked.
It was big in the 70s and now adults in their 20s and their 30s are bringing back green coloured bathrooms, avocado coloured bathrooms.
I cannot believe it.
No, neither can I.
Looking at the coloured sinks, like that's one of the trends that's back is those like green coloured sinks.
I love your bathroom.
You've just got the green tiles.
Green tiles.
But you didn't go for a coloured sink or any kind of...
No, we were going to, and then we were like, bring it back.
Bring it back.
Because there was a report a few, like maybe five years ago
in this article I'm reading that said if, in the UK,
if you had like a green coloured bathroom that was left over from the 70s,
it would knock like $5,000 off your value.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like people were just like.
That's what I'm just showing you.
Yes.
The kind of green bathroom, wallpaper.
Yes.
Patterned wallpaper.
Granddad.
Green bathroom.
Nana and granddad's house.
I can smell the lavender now.
The bath, the basin, the sink, everything was green.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan of, I just like a traditional white coloured basin.
Our
vanity is green with a
wooden top but then it's got a white basin on top
of it. But when we were looking at
toilets, because you know we like
to do things a little differently. Around here.
Aaron found a green toilet.
It was a deep green and I was like
we've got to draw the line.
That's just too much.
And so we'll just go plain white toilet.
Right.
Common as muck.
They surveyed a whole bunch of like people in their 20s and 30s
and your green was 25% of people were like, we want a green bathroom.
So it's like done.
Well, well, well.
It's done a full like comeback from the 70s.
Oh, yeah.
Although minus the carpet,
because a lot of the photos I'm looking at,
like, here's a bathroom that,
it's not dark green, like a light green,
like an avocado or a...
It's avocado mousse.
Yeah, avocado mousse.
And when the cafe doesn't have avocado,
so it uses the cheap mousse.
But, like, this bathroom from the 70s has, yeah, blue,
like a blue carpet.
Well, do you remember when I first started here,
my hunt for the pink sink?
That's right.
I wanted the pink sink.
You wanted a pink sink.
That was for a different house, to be fair.
But yeah, I wanted like a full pink, like 70s basin.
We didn't do it in the end, and thank God,
because I ended up selling that house to my parents,
and they would have hated that.
You put a green bathroom in, like green toilet,
green sink, basin,
bath. No one's going to buy that
house in 20 years. Well, they will, but
they'll rip it right out. So what was
the point of putting it in? Yeah, pretty much.
Play ZM's Fletch,
Bourne and Hayley. Hayley, do you remember
on, was it Monday?
I was sitting in
the go F yourself corner
while some songs were playing
and I said to Hayley, I have the need.
It wasn't even I want this.
It was a need for a chicken stew.
It was a yearning.
A yearning.
A chicken stew.
A primal yearning for chicken stew.
We then began to describe the chicken stew to each other.
We're on the same page.
Yeah, like chunks of chicken thigh
because breasts might dry out.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Is it a thick?
It's thick, so it's not a soup,
but it's real thick.
It's thick.
Okay, yum.
I'm nodding.
It's thick.
Yum.
It's thick.
Okay.
It's a thick boy.
Two Cs.
Wait, so you're cooking hacks about a chicken stew?
Yeah, dude.
Wait for it.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, dude.
So I find this recipe for this chicken stew.
Yep. And I scroll through a few because I want to find the one that we were describing.
It's like classic.
Also, like, what are you, like, a mum from the 90s?
Yeah, that's the vibe.
That's the vibe.
How good's the stew?
You're at the tail end of winter for the stew business, I'll tell you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're not eating stews in summer.
And this stew recipe that I found was everything I wanted,
except it wasn't garlicky enough.
So I just, I always had more and more garlic.
Name a single savoury food that isn't better with more garlic.
I can't do it.
Bread.
Garlic bread.
You idiot.
You idiot.
You fool.
I tried yesterday.
I tried yesterday to find one savoury.
I went all through Asia and Mexican.
Everything's better with garlic. Everything. I've yesterday to find one savor. I went all through Asia and Mexican. Everything's better with garlic.
Everything.
I've done this to a few people.
Someone said spag bol.
I was like, are you kidding me?
A garlicky spag bol?
Shut your stupid mouth.
What's your hack then?
So it said in this recipe, the later part of the stew,
everything goes in.
Brown the chicken.
Take that out.
Put in your aromatics, your celery, your onion.
We've got a bay leaf in there.
No.
Doing nothing.
Bay leaf, taking all the credit for garlic's heavy lifting.
Doing absolutely nothing.
So then you put the broth in, then you get it boiling,
then you reduce it to a simmer for 30 minutes,
gives the potatoes a chance to break down.
Then it said at that stage, after the 30 minutes of simmering,
if you wanted to thicken it up, you could add heavy cream.
I'm not like huge on a heavy cream.
Underneath it said, alternatively, add mashed potato.
Crazy.
And I was like, as a thickener?
In a powder form?
It's starch.
So it said you can use instant, that instant mashed potato stuff
or make
some mashed potatoes in the pot next to it and then add it.
But I was like, we've got some of that instant
mashed potato. I like
just put it in the microwave
because that's very dry. You might be thinking if you just
chomped it straight in, maybe it would make it more
watery. I don't think I've had instant mash.
I was so
against it when it first showed up at our house. I was like,
how lazy are you
or I
that we need a microwave
potato dust
for four minutes
with some butter in it
rather than boiling them
for like ten
and then mashing them
but it's a game changer
it's real quick
so I took this
instant mashed potato
chucked it in the microwave
for a couple of minutes
which isn't enough
to like fully cook it
and then
just dumped it all
in the stew
and stirred it and it sucked up then just dumped it all in the stew and stirred it,
and it sucked up heaps of it.
So it went from being quite a liquidy stew.
This is a good idea.
So this is the hack, is if you've got a watery dish.
Don't use cornflour because you end up having to use so much of it,
and there is something.
Viscousy.
Yeah.
I've done that before when I've thickened a curry with cornflour
and I just put too much
And then it gets that gelatinous
You can thicken a gravy
With corn flour
Because it's so rich
At that stage
And you want a gravy
To be a little bit jelly like
But then what
Could you thicken gravy
With mashed potato mix
Yes
You absolutely could
See this is a good hack
This is five stars
Shannon
This is five stars
Shannon
Are you listening to this hack
A review on the hack
Shannon
I love instant mashed potatoes You win Five stars Like I bow down This is five stars, Shannon. Are you listening to this hack? A review on the hack, Shannon.
I love instant mashed potatoes.
You win.
Five stars.
Like I bow down.
I get it now.
I think I should shut my mouth a bit more. No.
I just think we watch and we learn.
I'm learning.
It's good.
This is five stars.
This is a good hack, Bourne.
This is a good hack.
Yeah, yeah.
So, and even, I said to you, I told Sade what I was doing,
but August was playing Fortnite or something.
And then when she came out for dinner, she was like,
how'd you do that?
How'd you do this?
What's up here?
What's up with us?
What's up with this delicious stew?
Okay.
What do I, what do I owe you?
No stew left?
No stew left for us?
There is some stew left for me tonight because they're away.
Ryan.
It's man stew.
It's man stew. It's man stew.
But you know what it was missing?
Dare I say I'm tiptoeing close to a carb overload.
Yeah.
Some nice rip apart bread to dip in the stew.
Oh, I do get it.
Get a nice loaf of sourdough.
For Kasia.
No sourdough.
What about parbake dinner rolls?
Okay.
Daddy loves his parbake dinner rolls.
I love a dinner roll roll but only at Christmas.
No.
Why not every day?
Dinner rolls are
exclusively for Christmas.
Thank you.
You buy those
par-baked ones
and just give them
a little kiss in the oven
and they just pop up
a little bit.
Good food hack from you.
Good food hack.
Yeah, so if you need
to thicken something,
mashed potato mix.
Mashed potato mix.
Amazing.
If you have that
powdered stuff
that you take camping,
you know,
we've taken it hiking before.
Yeah.
That would be even better,
I reckon.
Because that's dehydrated.
Yeah.
And it would just add,
it would just suck up the water and be ready in seconds.
Sucks it right up.
Yum.
You guys should,
everybody listening should do it because it ruled.
Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.
Play ZM. Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM.
Fletchford 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.
If you're in a relationship, do you have designated cars?
I saw this as a thing on the internet.
A meme.
Right.
Saying, I just learned my friends don't have designated cars in their relationship.
They just take whatever one's easier to access.
Oh, God.
And that's madness.
And I was like, that is madness.
Yeah.
I mean, some people don't have two cars.
Yeah.
They just have the one.
I've got friends that just share a car.
I was like, oh my God, I couldn't imagine.
Wasn't it the average?
Don't we have some of the highest car ownerships in the developed world?
Yeah.
But that's because we live so far away from things.
Well, actually, we live quite close.
No, because you don't want to let people build townhouses in your backyard.
I really don't.
I really don't.
But we are the far away.
We're the far away. You're the problem. We need a car. But we are the far away. We're the far away.
You're the problem.
We need a car.
Why am I the problem?
Higher.
You townies.
You townies with your cars.
Yeah.
I don't have a car.
It's you bloody central Aucklanders.
I've got a designated bicycle.
It's your Maryvale mums.
Yeah, it is.
You're right.
You're right.
Huh?
Yeah.
Build them up.
Anyway, if you've got more than one car.
And then I send it to my mate's group, and my mate Johnny's like,
oh, yeah, we don't.
We just kind of grab whatever he wants.
I'm like, Johnny, that's madness.
No, that's madness.
And he's like, Sean, his mate, oh, I know Sean as well,
him and his partner have identical cars.
Oh, two of the same.
And they don't have a designated one.
They just literally have the same brand, year, type.
No.
And they just take whatever one.
That's so weird.
My car is a very private space.
I've got things in there.
I've got things.
Secrets.
Yeah, and wouldn't you like.
I've got a three pack of peanut slabs in the glove box.
I got last time I went to Mitre 10.
That's for me.
I got little treats.
And I like to nibble away at them.
Actually, remind me.
I do actually have a three pack of almond gold because I'm
Do you have almond gold?
I'm an almond gold.
I've got coconut.
I thought I was about to get a roasting, but it's nice
to see my brothers on board.
Brothers and coconut arms.
That sounded wrong.
It did.
It came out of my mouth.
I was like, I shouldn't have said that.
My oos.
My oos.
If you will accept my apology, Sole.
Sole, my oos accepted.
More on the ooses later, by the way.
Oh, we have an oos chat.
Yeah, we've got a bit of an oos chat.
Again, something wrong.
But anyway, if you're in a relationship, do you have designated cars?
Not as wrong as it sounded yesterday.
Yeah, we'll see if we're still on air by the time that rolls around. If you're in a relationship, do you have designated cars? Not as wrong as it sounded yesterday. Yeah, we'll see if we're still on air by the time that rolls around.
If you're in a relationship,
do you have designated cars?
88% of people said yes.
Yes.
12% do not have designated cars
in their relationship.
Let's hear from these people
that are all over the show.
Dan, who we've heard from Dan before,
he's one of our absolute favourite
homosexuals.
Yes.
Not your ultimate favourite homosexual friend though. No, no, no, no, no. I mean like show homosexuals. Yes. Not your ultimate favourite homosexual friend, though.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I meant like show homosexual.
Oh, right, okay.
I've told you, I rank my homosexual friends.
I don't know what's happening with this break.
I just hit homo way too hard on homosexual.
That's all right.
You did, yeah, yeah, you did.
Ally.
Ally.
We'll let it pass.
Yes, says Dan, the ones we came in with.
But we're about to go down to one car soon.
So then not so.
Oh, so you entered the relationship.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You arrived with a car.
Yeah.
That must be weird, entering a relationship with a car.
And then your partner's like, I'll just take the car.
And they're like, that's mine.
Okay, they're definitely Volkswagen Polos, right?
Or Golfs.
Oh my God, that's the image I had in my mind.
Yeah, same, same.
Nature Polos.
Yeah.
Lauren, and this is the case with so many people,
tandem parking spaces,
so you've just got to drive whatever's at the front.
Yeah, that's us.
We're park up the bum.
No, but you wouldn't take his ute
if he was parked behind you to work.
You would move it and then take your car.
Oh, but we do a little switcheroo the night before to make
sure we're in the right order. Right, yeah.
The old switcheroo. Yeah. No,
but technically ownership slash insurance
says we do have specific
cars. Oh, okay. Right.
Oh, no, because you can be a secondary driver.
You're just not the primary driver.
Earl says, yes, only because I have a work
car. Oh, yeah. That makes
sense. Holy moly, this blew my have a work car. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. That's his car for work.
Holy moly, this blew my mind, says Amy.
Do people really not have their own cars?
I didn't realise this was even a thing.
Me neither, Amy.
Yeah.
Majority of people have their own, like, designated car within the relationship.
We have one car seat.
So the baby has a designated car.
Yes.
There's always a designated baby car.
Yeah.
When the kids had baby seats, those things are a nightmare to move. Yeah. So you're just like, if I'm going out with the babies, I'm taking the car. There's always a designated baby car. When the kids had baby seats, those things are a nightmare
to move. So you're just like, if I'm
going out with the babies, I'm taking the car that's got the baby
seat in it. The family car.
Sean says she gets the brand new
car and I have to drive the old Lancer with
80,000km on it.
80,000 is nothing. On an old Lancer?
Oh, it sounds like it's gone
back three o'clock. Maybe it's gone full.
It hit a mill. It hit's gone back through the clock. Maybe it's gone full. Gone full, right?
A mil.
It hit a mil.
Started the game.
Whoever takes the dogs out gets the old boy wagon, says Erica.
Oh, because of yuck dogs.
Yeah, because you're going to take the dogs to one car, don't you? Stinky and dirty.
Yeah.
Erin says, yes, because I can't drive the manual ute.
That's a good way of keeping them separate or something.
Aaron used to have manuals and I used to hate it when I had to drive it.
Fine, it's this good car.
I do burn out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At every stop light.
Amy also says...
You can't take the Hamilton out of this one.
I'm not driving a stinky old filthy ute.
Okay.
It might have been a bit of Hamilton there with the burnout, but I think Rangiora over there was also enjoying the facts. Wellington. East one. I'm not driving a stinky old filthy ute. Okay. It might have been a bit of Hamilton
there with the burnout
but I think Rangiora
over there was also
enjoying the facts.
Wellington.
Eastbourne.
No, not really.
Eastbourne, Wellington.
No, you can't
have kids in Eastbourne.
I grew up in Eastbourne.
You'll end up
in the harbour.
You want a nice inland
town let like Rangiora
and just a big fat
intersection.
Might have grown up
in Eastbourne.
I was born in Rangiora.
It's true.
Yes, we do have separate cars,
says Julie,
because my car is clean and tidy
and his is an absolute effing dump.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
I feel with Julie,
I think you might want to clean your car.
Yeah, you wouldn't.
She sounds so happy about the state of things.
You wouldn't like Hayley's car.
I think I'm growing a pistachio tree in the middle.
With fortune.
Oh, I know.
I don't want to pull it out.
My pecan tree is really thrown out some leaves this spring.
Oh, that's good.
But is that growing from the centre console of your car?
No, not nearly as impressive, is it?
Yeah, no, it's not.
No, it's not.
That's still a little pole.
ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
I've got a show.
I'm just going to thumb in a little promo.
I've got a show next week in Auckland.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't thumb something. No, I've actually paid. 23 minutes to 7? I've paid NZME thumb in a little promo. I've got a show next week in Auckland. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't thumb something in at 23 minutes to 7.
I've paid NZ me.
This is paid advertising.
Is this one of these seamless client integrations that I hear so much about?
Looking for something to do next weekend in Auckland?
Check out Hayley Sproul's show Wild Flutters at Kew Theatre
from the 3rd to the 5th of October.
It's a naughty, funny show and it's good. 3rd to the 5th of October. It's a naughty, funny show, and it's good.
Right.
3rd to the 5th?
Yeah.
I'd say that's half of the weekend.
I would have said next year Thursday.
It's Thursday to Saturday.
That's the freaking weekend.
Sure.
That's the freaking weekend.
Anyway.
And this is the double show you're doing with Pax.
Pax Asadi.
Okay.
You really hit Pax.
Pax.
Anyway, so to promote this,
yesterday I put up on Instagram a clip,
a small clip from the show that I filmed earlier in the year.
Yeah.
And it was doing well on Instagram.
And I was like, people are really enjoying this.
And I was watching it back being like, it's funny.
I accidentally opened it in the middle of a meeting.
I know, and my voice came booming out of your phone
and then you looked over at me and said,
Hayley.
That was good from you, Vaughn.
Really rude.
Anyway, so I posted this video
and I was like,
do you know what?
This actually feels like the kind of video
that would pop off on the old TikTok.
Oh.
She's back on the TikTok.
I had a feeling
that this video would pop off on TikTok. I had a feeling that this video would pop off on TikTok.
I got a feeling.
Now, you tried to make it on TikTok a long time ago.
Yeah, a couple of years ago, I thought, come on, Hayley,
get onto the TikTok.
Everyone loves it.
You can also be part of this.
And I did a hair transformation from brown to ginger.
You may remember, that's how long ago it was.
And how did that go? It was good, people loved
it and then I was like, right, I've got to keep up
with this and I even said to Shannon,
hey, can you help me?
And then I just didn't do any content.
I didn't do anything. And then you kind of retired.
And I retired from TikTok and people
were like, Hayley, Hayley, come back.
Were they? Oh my god, they were
loving the hair transformation. Were you hearing the screams?
Yeah. No. These requests?
No, neither. I only open TikTok when
I'm sent a link though. Right.
Same. It sits dormant on my
phone and I felt it in my soul.
It was time to return to TikTok.
So I took the video
and I uploaded it
to TikTok and I was like,
fly away, sweet bird.
Off you go.
Do you think that's what Mr. Beast thinks when he uploads a video?
Fly away, sweet bird.
Fly away, sweet bird.
Wait, wait, I didn't get my Mr. Beast thumbnail.
Best of luck.
No, I chose a good thumbnail.
You chose a good thumbnail.
Funny short quip of a caption.
Okay.
And I fly away, sweet bird. Yeah. And I fly away sweet bird.
Yeah.
And then so about a couple of hours into the afternoon after posting it,
I returned to TikTok.
Yeah.
To see the explosion.
Because, you know,
I've been part of things like Girl Math
or the Jason Momoa interview
or the Taylor Swift song.
You've experienced an explosion.
Well, I went on the FEHZM page.
One of our videos has nine million views.
And I was like,
well, come on. Fly away sweet bird. the FEHZM page. One of our videos has 9 million views and I was like, oh, come on.
Fly away, sweet bird.
Zero views.
Zero views.
Dude, not even
like, it's not even doing badly.
Is that possible? It has not been seen.
Can we ask our social media expert,
Shannon at the social media desk,
what's she done wrong there to get zero views?
What have I done, Shannon? Has she published it?
Well I think she has
Has she left it in drafts?
I know I can confirm it was published
Well one thing I always do
And this is probably embarrassing to admit
Is as soon as I post
I go onto another TikTok account
And immediately watch it and save it
And send it to someone else
To boost the other ones
That's playing the system.
We're rocking multiple TikToks.
Well, because I've got my work, like, Fletch, Jordan, Hayley and then Shannon.
So the first person who always likes FVH is Shannon Trim.
Oh, okay.
So you're trying to game the system.
Yeah.
Now, Hayley, could you give us an update?
How long has the video been up and what are the views at the moment?
Okay, well, I've got to admit something.
It was doing so badly.
I came back an hour later, it had seven views.
And I was like, something's crooked here.
So I may have promoted it.
I may have chucked some money behind it.
Oh, okay.
Because I was like, this deserves more.
And so you promoted it.
And then how many views did it have? It was like, this deserves more. And so you promoted it. And then how many views did it have?
It's like 200 likes.
1,700 views.
Like it's really not fly away, sweet bird.
It's really not doing what I thought.
I thought, this is how I thought it would go.
It didn't fly away.
It's like you open the cage and the bird's just like.
I love it here.
Yeah.
More scenes, please.
This is what I thought would happen.
I'm a comedy producer for the BBC.
I've had such a long day,
I might hop onto the TikTok and have a little look.
Oh, who's this hilarious New Zealand woman?
I must fly her over to be on the BBC.
That's what I imagined. That's what you thought was going to happen.
Instead, 200 people have been like...
Okay, so I guess that
ends TikTok for you
then. Well, that's why I'm here working today
because the comedy
didn't fly away, sweet bird.
So this sweet bird has returned
to the delicious stability
of radio. And here
I shall remain.
Feel free to go to TikTok and like
my video if you think it's funny.
No, that's getting worse.
Shannon wants to know how much I paid.
I allocated $10.

Everything about this is so sad.

This is so sad. This is so embarrassing.
Had big dreams.
It's so embarrassing.
Just give up.
Just don't even admit this next time.

Stats New Zealand has released a wellbeing data.
People feel less safe than they did in 2021.
The trust in institutions such as the health system,
education system, parliament, media, police.
Oh, media.
That's us.
Police and courts has declined.
I like to think we've been as
untrustworthy in 2021 as
we are now. We've always been as untrustworthy.
We haven't changed, have we? We've
always been untrustworthy.
So I wouldn't worry too much about that.
I'm not worried. When inflation hit, half
of us cut back on fruit and veg, of
course. That's not good. That's not going to make you feel
any better, isn't it, if you're eating highly processed
stuff, etc,, et cetera.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Conan O'Brien is coming to New Zealand.
Yeah.
For his travel show.
Yeah.
And I knew this was happening.
I knew he had New Zealand in his sights.
Here's how.
He has a podcast.
He does two episodes a week. One's always an interview with a celebrity. Yeah. Here's how. He has a podcast. He does two episodes a week.
One's always an interview with a celebrity.
Yep.
Great podcast.
It is a great podcast.
Fantastic podcast.
He's had this big resurgence, kind of like a renaissance, right?
Yeah.
In the podcast realm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He started doing the podcast before he finished doing his TV show.
Yeah.
He did the late night show in America, for those that don't know.
For 28 years. He started in, he took over
from David Letterman in like 1993.
Previously he'd been a writer on The Simpsons
and a writer at Saturday Night Live.
And then everyone's like, who's this guy?
And then last, he could have kept going as well.
But he was like, I'm just going to step back.
After doing it for 28 years,
I would have pushed for 30.
Just a nice round number?
Just for the roundness.
28th round though. Yeah, same.
That's one thing I will bring up.
28th round, though.
Well, when you're out, you're out, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So then the podcast is his main outlet now.
So he does one podcast a week talking to a celebrity
and the other podcast is Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.
And he talks to someone that listens somewhere around the world.
And there was like three New Zealanders within Cooey of each other.
Because that's the idea of his travel show. He goes and meets someone that he's talked to and then gets shown around by world. And for like, there was like three New Zealanders within Cooey of each other. Because that's the idea
of his travel show.
He goes and meets someone
that he's talked to
and then gets shown around
by them.
Right.
For a bit of a different
sort of travel show.
I was like,
it's happening.
I even messaged
one of the women,
Yvonne,
who was on there
talking about Juan.
Juan.
She does Juan.
And I said,
he's coming to New Zealand,
isn't he?
And she said, I feel like he, but this was a while ago.
She's like, I feel like he's got New Zealand in his sights.
So I was like, I wonder when it's going to happen.
And then I just see that he's going to be here like this weekend,
apparently for something to do with that world record haka attempt.
Yes, yes.
I know, because did you know that the world record haka attempt
is currently owned by the French?
I saw this. Disgraceful.
Disgraceful. They did
it so badly, and the women
and the men are all mixed up. I think
New Zealand was just like, we better fix this. Yeah.
We better fix that. So where are we
going to go hunting? This is like the first time
Jason Momoa was in New Zealand, and I was just like
trying to hang around downtown
Wynyard quarter where I knew
where he was staying
and what room number
yeah
and I would like
just be lurking about
all the bars down there
and then you know
trying to run into him
yeah
where are we going to find Conan
throwing yourself in front of
every car that came out of the
every time I saw a motorcycle
I was like
on the road
yeah
take a little bit of damage
so many injuries
I don't know if you're going to be
that fanatic when it comes to Conan O'Brien Vaughn if he. I don't know if you're going to be that fanatic
when it comes to Conan O'Brien, Vaughn.
If he's in Auckland, you know where he's going to be staying.
There's only one nice hotel.
Yeah, there's one nice hotel.
The Bella Vista.
The Bella Vista.
Yeah, the Bella Vista.
It's got sky and a spa.
Basic sky.
And Wi-Fi available.
Yeah.
Wi-Fi is available.
You've got to get the code from reception.
And you've got to get the key for the hot tub,
which is inside a sort of
wooden marquee type thing.
Yeah, that's got a weird
slimy texture because it never really fully dries
out. Yeah.
That is definitely where he will be.
Yes. Would you like a little blue top milk?
No, no, no, no, mini milk.
Mini milk.
Sippy milk.
My kids still love a sippy milk.
Because I'm not really doing much this weekend. I've kept myself available. Mini milks. Sippy milks. Pottles. Sippy milks. My kids still love a sippy milk. Yeah.
Because I'm not really doing much this weekend.
I've kept myself available.
We could go for a little hunty hunt.
We could go for a little hunt.
That'd be fun.
He's my absolute favourite.
Oh, that's cute.
What are you going to say to him when you see him?
Just hello.
Hi.
Apparently he takes care of it.
Famously he takes care of it.
If you stop and talk to him, you're the one that has to be like,
hey, I have to get going.
Because his assistant and his wife are always like, come on, come it. If you stop and talk to him, you're the one that has to be like, hey, I have to get going because his assistant and his wife are always like,
come on, come on, because he stops and chats with everybody.
Has a big yarn.
Okay.
I think we extend.
Officially extend an invitation to partake on the show.
Is he here now?
I don't know.
Well, surely someone would have seen him arriving at the airport.
He's six foot five, six foot, bright red hair. Yeah. Big dude. He's tall, eh? He's six foot five. Bright red hair.
Big dude. He's tall.
He's tall, yeah.
Okay. Well, the hunt is on.
Please DM us
if you see him. Absolutely.
Keep us updated. Text into the studio.
Message Vaughn.
Yeah.
Let me know if you see him.
There's no reports that he's arrived yet.
This is your Jason Momoa.
Hey, this is my Jason Momoa.
I don't think you want to do the things to Conan
that I want to do to Jason.
I think it's slightly different.
It's slightly different.
You know slightly different, but we could adapt.
We could adapt.
So he's going to be at Eden Park on Sunday.
That's the rumour.
Yeah.
But he must be all over New Zealand
if he's doing a travel show.
He must be here for like a week, right?
He must check out Queenstown, Tyler.
Our darling is simply behind us.
He talked to Yvonne, who was in Hawke's Bay.
Yeah.
And he talked to a guy that lived on the west coast of the South Island,
like semi-off-grid.
Okay.
Those are the two people from New Zealand.
He may not come back if he goes to the west coast.
He's got a hot wife.
He's done well for himself. Yeah, he's done well for himself.
Yeah, good stuff.
Okay.
Well, yeah, keep us updated.
Conan O'Brien and Mound.
Play ZM's Fletch Vornanale.
Play ZM.
Now, we just mentioned previously the world record Haka attempt.
Yeah, I'm on the website hakarecord.co.nz,
and you have to book in
to be part of it.
They want 10,000 people
to beat France
who had 4,000.
Again, wild that France
has the world record
for the biggest haka.
So the tickets are only $10.
And there are concessions
for $5.
Yeah, but there's like
660 in Ikamore,
Shae Fu
Alien Weaponry
Shepherds
all these New Zealand bands
and then on that website
is a how-to
for men and women
on how to do the haka
it's Kamati Kamati
so it's like
the one that we all know
it's okay great
so if you want to take part in it
it's on Sunday
at Eden Park in Auckland
oh oh oh
ooh
it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas oh oh oh oh We are today
89 days, 16 hours, 41 minutes
and 22 seconds away from Christmas
Do you know yesterday
so I was a bit bored, a bit low on the old dopamine
and I opened up
I opened up my liquor cabinet, I'll admit.
Yeah.
And then above that, I saw an alternative to having a drink.
Yep.
One rogue Christmas cracker that's been there since Christmas.
And I just pulled it out and I just gave it to Aaron.
Just handed it to him.
I said, no tricks.
Don't put your thumb in there.
We just held it raw dog.
No.
You've got to put your thumb in there, otherwise you might have a slipped popper.
Nah.
I just like raw dogging.
No, this would actually be a good silly little poll.
Are you allowed to put
your thumb on the cracker thing?
No, you've got to.
You've got to hold
the thing that pops.
You clench.
Nah, it'll slip.
And then you both do it.
Nah, it didn't slip.
It cracked beautifully.
Oh, I'll tell you the joke.
Because I was just like,
this is so fun.
Why are we waiting
at the end of the year
it hadn't gone off
or anything
no it hadn't expired
the gift was a ruler
a small ruler
I thought you meant
the joke
like was it no longer
appropriate
well you never know
Vaughan
it was a Puff Daddy joke
or something
yeah exactly
it's not funny
no okay
so the toy was a little white plastic ruler.
Yeah.
Handy.
Okay, like a seamstress one.
Handy for what?
No, no, like a plastic stiff ruler, like 10 centimetres long.
Oh, no, that's not right.
Who is that handy for?
You get the seamstress rulers out of a Christmas tree and they rule.
I know, tape measure.
Okay, what do reindeer hang? I took a photo because I know. Take measure. Okay. What do reindeer hang?
I took a photo because I wanted to share it with you.
What do reindeer hang on their Christmas trees?
Do reindeer hang on their Christmas trees?
Reindeer balls.
This is my Christmas cracker that I cracked on the 25th of September.
This is not going to be reindeer balls.
What are you talking about?
That's insane.
Reindeer ball balls.
These are always friendly.
These are child friendly, you idiot.
Oh, sorry.
This is from a Lux kit.
Only by Lux. Oh, sorry. This is from a Lux kit. Only by Lux.
Oh, Lux.
What do reindeer eat?
Carrots.
You've got three more seconds.
Nah.
Hornaments.
Wrong.
Antlers.
They've got antlers, not horns.
Shut up.
Reindeers don't have horns.
Shut up.
Don't ruin Christmas, Dad.
Fat check Christmas joke.
But you get it.
Not hornaments.
Not hornaments.
You get it.
You get it. Same thing. You get it. You get it.
Same thing.
And actually, your initial reaction was laughter, Vaughn.
Your initial reaction was laughter.
My brain was like, stop laughing, you damn fool.
That's factually incorrect.
I've got antlers.
Okay, antlements.
How much?
That I like.
Yeah, that's good.
Now it's not as funny, but it's correct.
Let's get into some reports of Christmas
popping up in retail and malls
and places around the place.
Michaela says places around the place.
Let me have that.
Just let me have that.
Alright, Hornimans, calm down.
I'm working
with a couple of dopes here.
We all suck.
I haven't seen anything wrong yet.
You've seen it.
Michaela's seen it.
I've been trying to get into the You've seen it. Okay, Michaela's seen it. Kia ora, Vaughan.
I've been trying to get into the Christmas penetration for years.
Decorations.
Oh, that's so much better.
It's actually just been sent to us by Richard Hells,
Auckland City Councillor.
Yeah, thank you, Richard.
He's probably on a bus right now listening.
He should be mayor on that alone.
Yeah, he should be.
I'm going to say Richard for mayor.
He's on a bus.
Oh, that's so easy.
He listens to the show iHeartRadio app.
Does he?
Any time you want.
Yeah, take us anywhere.
You don't need to be in your car.
Great for numbers there.
Take us with you when you go.
Great for work.
Thank you.
Yeah, that'll help our KPIs.
We had a meeting about that yesterday.
So if you could all just listen.
We're very focused.
But don't stop listening on traditional broadcasts.
If you could have both going.
Oh, yeah, listen everywhere.
Just turn it on everywhere you go.
Just walk away from it.
If you find a radio that's not on ZM,
change it.
Yeah, you can put it on mute even.
Just have it on.
You can mute it,
but just have it on.
There's a guillotine up
and our three heads are in it,
to be honest.
I'll be honest.
And the only thing
that's going to strengthen that rope
holding that guillotine
from decapitating the show
is KPIs.
Yep.
And you guys are in charge of those.
And your terrible reindeer jokes.
Decorations.
Decorations.
It's good stuff.
So much better than your damn joke.
I didn't write it.
Richard Hale should be doing three shows at the end of next week in Auckland.
Don't point at me.
Put your finger down.
I didn't write it.
Okay, quick.
Shut up and let me do my work.
The KPIs must be hit.
This is what happens
when you invite us to meetings.
They said,
can you make sure
that you're listening
and paying attention
in this meeting?
And we did.
Yeah.
And then afterwards they said,
do you want anything changed about that?
I said,
if I can get that windowsill
dropped a few inches
just so when I'm lying down
in that meeting.
You can sleep a bit easier.
It was a little bit correct.
Maybe take a pillow next time.
Yeah, I will actually.
That's a great idea.
Kia ora morn.
I've been trying to get
into Christmas penetration for years,
but Costco have Christmas out
and the warehouse have their Christmas confectionary out in full swing.
I also have it on good authority that Advent calendars should be out this week.
Advent calendars have been out for a while.
I haven't seen them at the supermarket.
Normally they're out at the supermarkets now.
But the chocolate will go dusty.
You know that dust?
No one waits for Christmas, Hayley. No one waits. Posty Plus. It's Christmas. It's now. But the chocolate will go dusty. You know that dust? No one waits for Christmas, Hayley. No one waits.
Posty Plus, it's Christmas.
It's September and they've got actually
what look to be a fairly good range of
Christmas plushies.
There's a reindeer one there.
The reindeer doesn't have horns or antlers
though. I need some new
ornaments for my tray.
Maybe Posty Plus is going to hook me up with some decorations.
Could do.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Valentine's Christmas shop is being set up on the air bridge

Have you been to a Christmas Day buffet
at a good pub?
No, I've got a family who love me.
So I went to one a couple of years ago.
If I didn't,
if I was like,
I can't make it for family Christmas,
I'm going to a buffet
and paying $98. My mum and Aunt Ruth. I went in Darkville because my pop didn't have if I was like, I can't make it for family Christmas, I'm going to a buff. I am paying $98.
My mum would hate the roof.
I went in Dargaville because my pop didn't have a fully cut out Christmas kitchen.
Well, you should have made Christmas dinner for him.
I usually do, but this Christmas we went to the Northern Wairoa.
How dare you?
The Northern Wairoa Hotel in Dargaville for Christmas Day.
Bloody good buff.
Okay.
A Christmas Day buff.
At the Northern Wairoa, which my pop painted in the 70s. Still
painted and it's still got his paint job on there.
It's beautiful. That's because they did things right back in the day.
They filled the paint up with lead. Yeah, I know.
And lead lasts. That's right. It does. Not like these
modern bloody water-based paints. Oh god, no.
Get me some lead. Get
me some lead. Get me
some lead. And asbestos. Get me
some lead and asbestos. Get me some
lead and asbestos. It'll Me some lead and asbestos.
It'll last forever and I can't catch fire.
So the Christmas Day buffet has been bookings are required.
Okay.
That's between 12 and 2.
Children 6 to 12, $45.
Children 0 to 5, pay their age.
So if you've got a three-year-old, you're only paying $3.
Yeah, I could figure that out from pay their age. You could just spell it out.
I've just never heard of that.
I don't know, we've got a couple of dopes before you said...
Hang on, hang on.
What would a two-year-old have to pay?
$2.
See, this is why I'm here.
Ask Vaughan if you're confused.
I'm confused.
What would a four-year-old pay?
Yes, you don't know, dum-dum.
Two, three.
$4.
Good.
Adults, $98.
Wow.
That better be a bloody good buffet for that price.
Assorted cream wafers are out.
You know, wafer in it.

Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Big Friday energy in the studio today, isn't it?
Yeah, and it's sadly only Thursday.
Nah, it's all right.
I reckon we call it.
I reckon at the end of the show,
if it's how the week's going to peak,
I don't think we'll come back tomorrow.
Let's just give a little PSA here
because there's a large fire in Christchurch.
It's been raging since 4.30 this morning.
Raging?
Well, that's how fires rage.
Do fires rage?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sometimes against the machine.
And that's a hell of an adjective for a fire, isn't it?
It's a raging fire.
P-p-p-p-p.
It's not p-p-p-p.
Stop fighting.
The fire's been burning since you said.
This is, again, just a great example of the media
Hyping things up
Beyond what they need to be
A lot of fire engines
Are on site
And people are just saying if you can stay away
They're saying if you can stay away from the area
But if you can wrap your eyes around
Some of the firemen
No, that is not what they're saying.
There's an incensed fire burning.
A seething burning happening.
No, there's a raffle.
I'm happy.
Can I enter the conversation?
I'm happy with raging.
Thank you.
Well, it's a raffle fire.
It's at a car workshop in Sydenham.
So obviously you'll see the smoke stay clear.
Remember when the, what was the Sky City Convention Centre caught on fire?
Yeah, we were right next door now.
That TV did air come, was pumping us.
I had a headache like all day.
We had to throw out all of our drink bottles.
Do you remember that?
Because we had to evacuate the building and then leave all of our stuff.
Well, it's raging.
So please take care.
Just had a message.
Hi, Dad. We listened to's raging. So please take care. Just had a message. Hi, Dad.
We listened to the radio in the car from August.
I think you've all had too much coffee to drink.
Do you think we're a little bit hyper?
She's picking up on it.
Wow.
There is an energy in the studio.
It's brat.
Big brat energy.
Big brat energy.
Say something to embarrass them.
Oh, no, it's only August.
What can I say?
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Drive safe, my Sigma Riz. Drive with some Sigma Riz. Oh, I'm embarrassed. Drive with some Sigma R say? Oh, okay. Yeah, drive safe, my Sigma Riz.
Drive with some Sigma Riz.
Drive with some Sigma Riz.
Oh, yeah, I'm so sorry.
Sorry about that, August.
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
Well, you asked me to.
Yeah.
Now, yesterday after work, you guys got a special treat.
We did get a little treat.
We went down in the lift, and when you exit the lift,
I turn left to my car because I've got, like,
a sort of D grade car park.
Yeah, your D grade staff.
Yeah, and then Vaughan goes right to his A grade car park.
It's the Smith Street, we're Tony Street and I park.
Yeah.
The company's big earners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam Wallace is next to you guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that's a pity park, to be honest.
And Sam gets like sponsored cars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they're always nice to look at.
And I'm like, I keep it everyday,
humble man with the chimney on the end there.
Yeah.
Tony Street's driving a Lamborghini Contagio,
I believe at the moment.
A 1980s Lamborghini Contagio.
I'm near sort of Stacey Morrison.
Me and her, we're tucked in the corners.
Well, don't make it sound like we're tucking
the brown people down my corner.
That's what I came behind you saying. Yeah, the Maori woman tucked over to the left. Well, don't make it sound like we're tucking the brown people down my corner. That's what I can't be honest with.
Yeah, the Maori woman tucked over to the left.
Whoa, yeah. Well, the Aryan looking
skinhead dude and the blonde woman
got a brown back. That's right.
Anyway, when we came out of the lift,
we were in the central lift.
And we came out and there was like
a little coned off area
next to
the lift to the left.
Okay.
And when we looked inside, the doors were pried open
and there was a man working on it
and we got to look inside the lift shaft.
I thought he was going to say no.
We were like, oh!
We like moved closer towards it.
Yeah, and he didn't like, he wasn't like, stay back.
This is a dangerous area.
I said, can I have a peek down your shaft?
Yeah.
And he said. He said, absolutely. Yeah a peek down your shaft? And he said, absolutely.
Did you see that bag of all the stuff that he'd vacuumed out of the,
or swept up out of the bottom of the lift shaft?
Were there any like coins or phones or keys?
No, it was just like a ton of basically what goes down your shower hole,
except dry.
Like it was just like clumps of dust in here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw like a couple of shiny wrappers and stuff,
but I didn't see any good treasures.
At my apartment,
if there's like either a little bit of dust or a thing,
I'll like flick it down the hole.
Yeah, you can.
Somewhat down the shaft.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So at the bottom of the shaft
is effectively like an upside down pogo stick
that catches the lift.
That catches the lift. If the brakes fail. If the brakes fail. Because I've hit that before. stick that catches the lift. That catches the lift.
If the brakes fail.
If the brakes fail.
Because I've hit that before.
I've hit the brake before when I was in a lift and it failed
and it went doof on the bottom.
And I hit that thing that stops you from actually hitting the concrete.
The pogo.
The pogo.
But it's like a pneumatic pogo.
Like it's a big, huge, like a shock absorber spring
that you see in like a truck or a car.
Did you ask him if that's what it was?
Yeah, we were chatting to him.
He said, so this is, he was all up for a chat.
I reckon I could have climbed into his shaft if I had asked.
He's probably all alone in his shaft all day with no one to talk to.
I know.
And you're inside his shaft asking him all about it.
I was outside the shaft.
Oh, you're not allowed inside.
He cleaned his shaft. Okay. The shaft had been pre-cleaned. Okay. Before we had a look. I was outside the shaft. Oh, you were not allowed inside. He cleaned his shaft.
Okay.
The shaft had been pre-cleaned.
Okay.
We missed the cleaning of the shaft.
We saw the bag of stuff.
So it grips on the side,
which I knew because,
you know,
stop it.
You know,
in movies when they fail
and it grips
and the sparks fly off the side.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He said that doesn't happen.
Oh, okay.
That's Hollywood.
It'll slow you down and then the pogo does the absorbing at the bottom of the.
Yeah.
So there's lots of like fail safes or like backup systems.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you'll be all right.
Maybe not from the top floor if it just free fell.
Or you'd hit the ground hard.
Yeah.
Even with the pogo.
I found it really scary.
As someone who doesn't like lifts, used to never get in them, I found it really scary to look inside.'t like lifts Used to never get in them
I found it really scary
To look inside
Yeah do you know what
What
Because we said to him
I was like that was full on
And he's like
Ever seen underneath an escalator
Oh he was like
Do you know what's worse
Escalators
He's like don't
He's like
He doesn't do escalators
What
Mints
There's mints
There's mints yeah
He's like every time he's in a mall
And he sees a kid jump on
With like jandals or bare feet He's like I every time he's in a mall And he sees a kid jump on with like jandals or bare feet
He's like, I'm out
Because there's a high chance someone's losing a toe
Have you seen someone fall into them before?
There was like a video that went viral
Yeah, I've seen that
Somebody, Auntie Pat
Did you just make up an auntie?
No, my great Auntie Pat
Excuse me
That sounds like a bullshit
Don't laugh at Auntie Pat
Marlene was my nan
And her sister's name is Patricia.
Patricia McElroy.
How did Auntie Pat?
Someone kicked, it was in your bloody town.
New Plymouth.
Center City.
Center City.
Someone kicked the stop button and she lost her balance and fell.
Into it.
She fell down it.
Auntie Pat.
Auntie Pat.
It made her, it ruined, because she was, was No It was like a little while ago
But you know
Old people's skin
Oh yeah
So that really made a mess
Auntie Pat
What are we laughing at?
The fact that I've got
An auntie called Pat
Patricia was in it all
I don't know
I don't know
Migrate on Pat
I saved her from choking once
Did you?
Yeah
What?
It's not funny
She was choking on a pea
We were half a stick peas
At Nana Gaggy's house
And you're popping on the pea
And you've got a big pot
And you go
And you run your fingers down the peas
And you pop it in the pot
And she was like
Oh you know the old rule
One pea per pot for Pat.
That's what she said.
And she went, um, and ate the pee and then laughed and swallowed it and then was like.
And I was a young man and I whacked her on the back.
It sounds like life wants her dead.
You whacked Pat on the back.
Yeah, go pat on the back.
You can have her on the back.
Patty whack.
Go pat her whack.
Save her bloody life.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley
so a woman has shared on TikTok
her little blankie
that she has to sleep with
she's had it since she was a baby
and then she showed a photo of it
and it's a feral sort of
clump of strings now
and I know people that have these when they're like
they've just got like sort of a
10 centimetre rag left of their baby blanket.
What do they do?
What is about...
Hold on to it, play with it, suck it.
Could you get a new one that was the same?
No, but it's the sentimental value.
But then eventually that ball of nothingness is just going to...
Disintegrate.
Go on.
But I get the sentimental value of this.
As a woman who was given a koala bear
at age 3 and last night I woke up
at 12.41
I thought it was the morning
that's a nice time to wake up
and then you've got so many more hours of sleep
I was in the middle of a dream about a massive concert
and I woke up and I was like
and I couldn't get back to sleep
and I turned over to find Kwali, my teddy bear
who I've had since I was 3
and I couldn't find him and that's why I over to find Kwali, my teddy bear, who I've had since I was three, and I couldn't find
him. And that's why I woke up Aaron.
I said, where's Kwali?
And he had thrown him off the bed
because he's got Velcro on his paws and it scratches
Aaron's skin.
And then I woke him up from his slumber,
he got Kwali and I nestled him and I went
straight back to sleep. Wow, okay.
I have to sleep. You should talk to your
therapist about that. Yeah, I should bring up Kwali. Wow, okay. I have to sleep. You should talk to your therapist about that.
Yeah, I should bring up Kwali.
Well, I did mention to my therapist,
my dad used to bring me gifts and I'd look out the window
and he'd have a Barbie tucked under his arm
and I used to be like so excited.
So maybe I'll mention Kwali.
Maybe there's a deep trauma there.
I don't know.
Oh, boo, dad brought you presents.
Someone's using,
my dad, I looked out the window for my dad
and he never came home. You're like, I looked out the window and my daddy had a Barbie tucked under his arm for me. What's used like my dad, I looked out the window for my dad and he never came home. You're like
I looked out the window and my daddy had a
Barbie tucked under his arm for me. What's wrong with me?
Deep dive on that and tell me why I've got trauma.
I think as a woman who has had
honestly a perfect life from day dot
and continues in that path, I am
hunting. I'm hunting for
trauma. Not a lot there.
Right, okay. Tell us about your father.
God, he was great. He continues to be.
Yeah, he's a really good guy.
Anyway, we want to know
what do you have to sleep with?
Because I know tons of people
that have this thing.
Or maybe it's like,
I mean, you guys
with your bloody body pillows.
Do you know,
I was going to ask you, Mum,
because we've got body pillows
around the same time
and I've had them now
for what, three years?
And they're linked by Wi-Fi
so I say,
goodnight Fletcher
and I kiss my body pillow
and it vibrates.
And it vibrates Fletcher's and then he does the same back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then it vibrates.
You can whisper into a small microphone,
and it comes out the speaker on the other end.
If we go away for work or I'm away,
I kind of miss the body pillow.
Do you?
It is nice.
When you wake up in the middle of the night,
you roll over, body pillow.
Grab it.
It's so good.
Chuck it between the legs, arms around it, and roll back.
It's perfect. Yes, Fletch, I get it. You's so good. Chuck it between the legs. Arms around it. It's perfect.
You've got, yes, Fletch, I get it.
You've got a wife to do that to.
Chuck it between the legs, roll around and grab it.
We've been trialling a sleep divorce this week.
Oh, my God.
I suggested a sleep divorce to Aaron and he said no.
I go in a tiny single bed.
He said it was the saddest thing ever. Wait, you go in a tiny bed?
Yeah, I do a tiny single bed.
That's sad.
Okay.
Makes me feel like I'm in the Navy.
Ooh.
I'm doing me service.
Maybe you need to talk to Hayley's therapist about what that means.
Yeah, actually, I'll hook you up with an appointment.
I sleep in my daughter's bed with a pink duvet on,
and it makes me feel like I'm a Navy boy.
What's wrong with me?
She's like, okay, I'm going to need to clear my book.
I'm going to need to clear the schedule.
Tell us about your father. We're going to need to clear my book. I'm going to need to clear the schedule. Tell us about your father.
We're going to need about 10 sessions for this one.
I used to look out the window waiting for my father
to come home with a Barbie and he never did.
He said Barbies were for girls and then he smacked me.
I always wanted a Barbie.
What's wrong with me?
Okay, 0800 DALES at E, we want to take your calls right now.
You can text as well, 9696.
What do you have to sleep with?
Woman's gone viral for sharing her manky childhood,
like baby blanket that she still sleeps with as an adult.
Someone texts and I sleep with my foot thingy.
It's an old soft scarf that I bought specifically for sleeping with.
I hold it with my toes and I can't sleep without it.
In your toes?
A soft scarf that you like claw with your toes.
No, I don't like things between my toes.
Somebody else messaged you and saying their brother sleeps with a rabbit skin at his feet.
Oh, what is that about?
To rub it or something?
But they're so cute.
They're the soft rabbit skins.
Yeah.
But it's like I'm imagining he's-
Even in summer, wouldn't it be hot?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Not here to yuck your rabbit foot thing.
Not here to yuck your yummy rabbit fur foot thing.
I sleep with my
best friend's hoodie.
That's cute.
That's cute.
Hugging her
makes me feel safe.
It's the smell.
She's been well right.
That's nice.
Oh, that's nice.
We've had a lot of texts
of men can't sleep
without a good old
cup of the boob.
Yeah.
And I'll say
it is nice.
Wait, over?
Over?
Not an under?
No, you go through.
Now, Dr. Shawnee, and I'm sure he won't mind me saying this,
when we've stayed at your house before,
and we had had a few drinks,
and I told him the beauty of spooning a woman and cupping a boob,
and after a few more drinks, we stayed at your place,
and I said, climb on board.
Is he Gold Star?
Climb on board.
I don't know.
Is he Gold Star?
I don't know.
No, I think he came out the cloaca.
No, Gold Star can come out the cloaca,
which I believe is the technical term for the birth canal.
For those that don't know, a Gold Star gay is someone
that's never been with a woman.
And was Caesarian.
No, that's Platinum.
Oh, is that a Platinum gay?
I'm sorry.
I am educating.
I know.
Educate us all, please.
This is please.
This is what I'm here for.
Ally, ally.
But I will say, and I see...
Is he a gold star?
Can you do a quick follow-up there?
He said he's just messaged, not a gold star.
Not a gold star.
So he knows the lure of the...
But I invited Dr. Shawnee to feel the joy of falling asleep,
holding a boob.
Yeah, right.
Loved her.
Yeah, and that's why his husband now, I believe, is getting boobs.
He is getting a set.
Modelled on mine.
I've done a plaster cast.
Wait, if he's got breasts,
he's now got the perfect body.
That,
because dad ass don't quit.
Because dad ass is,
couple of quick texts.
Sorry, we're getting distracted.
A little distracted here.
Sleep without.
My dog,
it's a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel,
sleeps on his pillow,
which is above my pillow,
and he snores so loud that the neighbours could hear him outside my house.
But if I'm away, I can't sleep without that constant snoring.
See, that's a Brad noise.
How old is this one?
I was given, not the texter, the toy.
I was given a teddy bear at birth.
I'm now 54.
Poor thing is old, full of holes, stuffing falling out,
soaked with years of tears.
He's travelled the world with me.
He sleeps in bed with me.
I take Ted with me
when I go away
it's ridiculous
the comfort I get from him
it's not ridiculous
I get it
I've got a soul
these things
you think you'd get
buried with Ted right
oh someone asked me
what I'm going to do
with Kweli when I'm young
you're like
who will get him
no one
he's going in the hole
with me
forever sleeping
he's at the mud eye
getting a full
puruaka Getting a full poroaki. So yesterday we were at the gymnasium and when...
Can I start it?
No, you can't.
So we finished work but we had to stay around for this KPI meeting.
If you've just tuned into the show, please continue to tune into the show.
We've got KPIs that need to be hit
and the only way we can hit them is with your help.
We'll take you on this journey
as we try to hit our KPIs.
If you're about to just get the app, you know,
get that app, iHeartRadio.
We've been promised a jet ski each
if we can hit these KPIs.
They said subtlety and I reckon that's bullshit.
I reckon we just let people know
we've got KPIs that need to be hit
and you're the only way we can hit them.
Because if somebody's about
to get out of their car
and go to work
but they don't have
the radio with them,
how can they continue
to listen to the show?
They do.
Well, they can download
the iHeartRadio app
and select ZM
as their station
that they want to listen to.
Oh, beautiful.
Small delay,
but don't let that deter you.
Don't let that deter you
because this is still good stuff.
And even the podcast as well,
the iHeartRadio app,
it's all there.
It's all there. It's all there.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
Listen, take us with you where you go.
Help us hit the KPI because we get a jet ski at the end of it.
And God, we have desperately all wanted one for sale.
I don't even have a tow bar.
I will sell my jet ski immediately because it's the most embarrassing form of water transport there is.
It's truly embarrassing.
Actually, yesterday, so we had this KPI meeting we had to go to, and I just went for a run outside.
And I ran past some boats for sale.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think if our KPIs are hit bad enough, they'll buy me that $1.5 million launch I saw?
Was there a boat that was $1.5 million?
Dude, there was a boat worth $2.7 million.
Boats are expensive.
I was kind of surprised.
There was one for $750 million, and I found myself saying, that seems like a good deal.
In my head just then, I said, that's a bargain.
That's a bargain for a big boat.
It's not a bargain.
That's insane for a boat.
How did that just happen in my brain that I went,
I should probably nab that at that price?
Yeah.
If I was a first home buyer,
I'd be seriously considering a home on the water.
Yeah, but then you've got to pay to park a home on the sea.
Then you've got to find somewhere to park it,
and then you've got to pay.
Oh.
Yeah.
So I get a message to our little group
saying...
We'll filter them.
Filter the message.
Of course they will be.
Careful now.
Vaughn.
Careful, Vaughn.
You're just raw-dogging
our message group.
Oh, Vaughn, don't.
You don't read our messages.
You read our messages.
I do three things.
Which chat are you doing?
Which chat are you looking in?
It's not the heavily
redacted chat.
It's...
I do three things.
I hit KPIs all day.
That's me, baby. They call me the KPI king. That's what they call you. That's, I do three things. I hit KPIs all day. That's me, baby. They call me the KPI
king. That's what they call you.
That's what the K stands for.
Secondly,
I'm a vibe hire, through and through.
I keep the vibe going. Do you know what I
learnt yesterday about the vibe hire? That the
vibes don't always have to be positive. No.
The vibes reflect the tribe.
Right, okay. I just kind of like
the flagpole for the vibe on a whole. The vibes have been good today. Thirdly, I can filter on the tribe. Right, okay. I just kind of like the flagpole for the vibe on a whole.
The vibes have been good today.
Thirdly, I can filter on the go.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm nervous.
Vaughn.
I get this when I'm running.
And I forgot my straps.
I'm holding my phone while I'm running.
What's this one called?
This is from Fletch.
And he sends me a photo of one of my beloved.
What's this one called?
One NZ Warriors. What's this one called? Let's not say names. is from Fletch and he sends me a photo of one of my beloved 1NZ Warriors
What's this one called?
Let's not say names
I think we do because he's a hottie
and he's one of my favourites. CHT
Chitty
Chanel
There's a heap of them. Harris Tevita
There's a heap of Warriors at the gym
And I said that's CHT. Why?
Filter, filter, filter
See I told you I'm really. Why? Okay, filter, filter, filter.
See, I told you I'm really good at filtering.
Filter, filter, filter. Currently downstairs, then this one
is more directed to Hayley. It tags Hayley.
Hayley, I'm currently downstairs with a bunch
of hot oozes at Les Moores.
Now, I won't
say who then said yummy, yummy,
but someone in this chat said yummy, yummy.
Then Hayley said. Fulton harder
Fulton harder
Fulton harder I reckon. Okay
Hayley says oos my oos
what am I doing up here with zero ooses
and I said. Because I'm
in the women's gym upstairs
and Fletch is in the
everyone gym downstairs.
And the one New Zealand Warriors aren't allowed
upstairs. No. Despite the woman at the upstairs gym inviting them personally. Being like Zealand Warriors aren't allowed upstairs. No.
Despite the woman at the upstairs gym inviting them personally.
Being like, no, my height in my upstairs, please.
And I said, the good thing about CHT, he took a year off.
Yeah.
He was a painter.
He did some poetry.
And he's a well-balanced individual.
He's like, it's too much.
And then he came back and he played a hell of a season for the Warriors.
Right.
And Fletch said, that's actually beautiful.
So I am upstairs and boy
oh boy, they would have heard my thunderous
footsteps as I
threw my dumbbells aside.
I was like, come on down, Hayley.
Down I run and I
see Fletch and I say, where are we going?
And he says, come with me. And we literally
travel to another part of the gym
looking for them and we walk into this another part of the gym looking for them.
And we walk into this other sort of group area.
No sign.
No sign whatsoever.
You missed them.
Then we hear, what's that in the background?
Oof, oof, oof, oof, oof, oof.
It was a bit of a huss, huss, huss.
It was a bit of a huss, huss.
And then I was like, what is that?
They're in the boxing gym.
Oh.
So we travel to the boxing gym where we pretend that we are.
Boxing.
Resting.
Oh.
And.
See, I've seen flesh punch, limp wristed.
I don't do boxing.
Maybe I don't have the wrists for it.
No, no, no.
Oh.
But we want to make it look like we're considering,
oh, I've never done this class before.
I'll just have a little look to see if this would be of interest to me.
I wasn't.
I was just sitting down.
And this is when Hayley decides she's going to get up and, like, have a good close look.
Like, I literally stand.
Can I say this is shaping up for a great season next season.
The NRL's not even finished and the Warriors are still in training for next year.
I'm going to say, I don't really care about the game.
Oh, come on.
So Hayley wanders over to have an up-close perv at the rugby league players,
and that's when I have to yell out to Hayley,
Hayley, your torch is on on your phone.
I'm literally shining a torch at them.
A beacon of sorts.
I wasn't videoing them,
but I had my phone like this as I was looking,
mouth hanging open.
Yeah, to use sort of an analogy,
you're sort of like a lighthouse, and if they get too close to you, they're going to end up on the rocks. Yeah, to use sort of an analogy, you're sort of like a lighthouse
and if they get too close to you,
they're going to end up on the rocks.
Yeah, probably.
I'd say more of a pest.
And I was like,
and you were so embarrassed.
I went like this
and I turned around to look at Fletch
and be like,
my God, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
When he sees my glowing beacon of shame
from my phone,
I literally like threw my phone
and like fell to the ground
and curled up in the fetal position.
I was so embarrassed.
I couldn't handle it.
We had to roll away.
Had to leave.
What did they make of all this?
They were too busy punching the bags, thank God.
That's what I like to see my boys ahead of the season.
Concentrating on the game,
even when a fine damsel throws herself
on the ground in front of them.
I know.
They paid me no attention. I think this as well.
They actually didn't notice.
They actually didn't notice, Hayley.
That's good.
And the torch.
Yeah.
Which is probably for the best.
Probably for the best.
Because otherwise you'll get banned from the gym.
It means you still stand a chance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something like that.
Yeah.
It's changed my whole approach to the gym, though.
I'm coming out of the kitchen, so to speak.
I'm coming down from the women's gym.
Oh, okay. Because there's something I forgot to say to you. I wouldn't have called it a kitchen because I'm coming out of the kitchen, so to speak. I'm coming down from the women's gym. Oh, okay.
I wouldn't have called it a kitchen
because I'm a bit of an ally. Oh, that's alright.
I'm not.
Play
ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Play ZM.
It's time for
Fact of the Day.
Day, day day day day day
it's streak week at fact of the day we're talking about unbelievably long streaks
we've had gambling we've had other things that I can't remember because it's Thursday.
Literally.
And today. Three other days for you to remember
they're born. Yep. That's
all a blur. Today we're
doing sports winning streak. We did
Jeopardy streak yesterday. That's right.
Sports winning streaks. Okay.
The record
holder for winning
555 professional games in a row
Holy
Belongs to a Pakistani squash player called Jungahir Khan
Who won the world open six times
And between the years 1981 and 1986
Won 555 games in a row
And it is recognised as the longest winning streak by any athlete
In top level professional sports by the Guinness World Records.
He's a good squash player. Now, who were the
opponents though? Were they, I mean it was
obviously good because he was winning the world
champ. He was, yeah. But was he inviting
like, you know, just some, you know
randoms in for a game?
Like people trying it for the first time. Yeah.
To keep a streak open?
Or was it, were all of those games
all 500 or whatever, professional games?
Oh, wow.
Not like Wickingham.
Officially recognised ranking games by the World Squash Organisation.
Oh, crap.
Squash always scares me because you hear those stories about people getting their eyeballs
sucked out by the ball.
My dad was a squash player and he had his front teeth knocked out.
Now he's got fake ones.
Does your dad play pickleball?
No, squash and tennis.
Okay, but he looks down on the pickleball players, do you think?
He goes like this.
On the pickleball.
I feel like pickleball would be up his alley.
You reckon?
Yeah.
Maybe in his old age.
What are you, he's over 60 now.
63.
I think it's a bit slower, a bit easier on the body than the old squash.
Well, he's not slowing down.
He's only speeding up.
Yeah, okay.
Well, good.
Thank you.
I don't know how to sell pickleball to your dad anymore.
He doesn't need it.
He's got squash and tennis.
He's got the real thing.
Well, what's the faster version?
If he's speeding up, I don't know.
What's the faster version?
Squash seems like ping pong?
Yeah, they don't call it ping pong.
Table tennis.
Table tennis.
But squash seems to be the fastest of the racket sport.
Badminton's quick.
It's the shuttlecock that lets them down.
Yeah, because they're like, and it's a big,
and they'll lunge all the way over,
and then just like whip quick with the racket,
and then the shuttlecock's like,
Yeah, I don't like that it goes,
Get to it, shuttlecock.
Go faster.
You've got too much lag.
Here's some honours and awards from this fellow.
Okay.
At age 17, he was the youngest winner of the World Open,
but an Australian Jeff Hunt in the final.
What a great Australian.
I know that is.
Jeff Hunt.
He, in 1984, featured at the age of 21
on the Government of Pakistan-issued postage stamp,
a high honour for a 21-year-old squash player.
He won a bunch of awards.
Time magazine named him as one of Asia's largest heroes
of the last 60 years in 2005.
Sort of like revolutionised squash as a sport played in Pakistan.
If you ended up on Time magazine's cover, what would it be for, Hayley?
Oh, I don't know.
Probably funniest, hottest woman in the world.
So that laughter was a little hard for that.
Time's most delusional.
No.
2024.
Time's hottest and funniest. They don't often go hand in hand. Time's most delusional. No. 2024. Time's hottest and funniest.
They don't often go hand in hand.
Time's most delusional woman.
Time's funniest and hottest.
We have the world's 100th most delusional woman.
Time's hottest and funniest young woman.
Coming in at number 99 is the woman on Ozempic that thinks no one noticed.
Beating her to the top spot is Hayley Sproul.
Funniest and hottest
young woman of 2024.
Apparently illiterate as well.
So today's fact of the day
is the longest recognised
sports streak
by a top level
professional athlete
belongs to
Jahingir Khan,
a Pakistani squash player
who won 555 games in a row.
Yeah, that's weird
because when you first
said his name
you said it completely different.
Did I though?
Yeah, you did.
You've done two pronunciations there.
Which one is it, Colin?
Jahangir Khan.
That's a third option.
Here's a third option for you.
Jahangir.
Canaporn.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Something popped up not too far from my house.
I saw this on the community page.
Some guy's like, what the hell is this?
What's going on?
This thing's going to blow everywhere.
Next time there's a decent storm out our way.
Somebody's built multiple hundred metre long fence.
Yeah.
Out of scraps.
Like there's a bit of corrugated tin.
There's some free plywood.
No, because everything's got to look the same.
No.
You see a gang pad fence
and you're like,
sure, it might be 15 foot high
and have, you know,
barbed wire fence around the top.
But it's all the same.
But it's one continuous material,
isn't it?
It's a quality build
because it's got to be structural
at that height.
Otherwise, it will just flop over.
And those cast iron spikes
and barbed wire
are just beautiful.
I like it.
Castles used to have them
and no one batted an island.
Yeah.
Now, we don't do them enough.
I'm thinking of doing it on our house.
You showed us photos of this fence.
And it is.
It's got a whole video.
It's like there's a red bit and then a white bit and then a green bit.
And then it's all over the show.
And different heights.
Yeah.
And even the structural, like the bit that's in the ground, the post, that doesn't look like.
Do you know what it looks like?
It's like a doomsday prepper has sectioned off their fence
for the end of the world.
It's not going to stop zombies.
No.
That fence, the zombies are going to walk up and be like.
No, but it felt like a last ditch attempt to keep them out.
Yeah, to keep the zombies out.
Like, quick, we've got to build a fence.
The zombies are coming.
It's the end of the world.
It looks like that kind of fence.
Everyone's talking about the local eyesore.
Yeah.
That's popping off.
On the community page.
Everyone's like, my God.
And even just on school pick up yesterday,
someone's like, did you see them?
Oh, really?
Are they going to paint?
Like if you spray it all black?
The paint's not going to do anything.
I know, but.
It's like when you're a kid and you're like,
Dad, I'm going to build a fort.
Yeah.
And Dad's like, well, there's nothing to build a fort out of.
You're like, I'll find something.
And then you just go around getting scraps and you build a fort. And then your dad's like, there's nothing to build a fort out of. You're like I'll find something and then you just go around getting scraps
and you build a fort and then your dad's like oh my god.
This is why like a lot of subdivisions
or like apartments, buildings all have
rules about what you can like do
on your balcony. Totally. Because some people might
decorate their balcony with trellis and it just
looks like awful. Neon lights and all sorts.
Yeah.
Well I just love to talk about neighbourhood eyesores.
Everyone's got one.
Someone's always working on a boat.
You know, I remember growing up but nowhere near the sea.
I remember growing up in New Plymouth because I used to do the paper run
in the junk mail and there was a few blocks from our house,
there was someone that always had a boat on the front lawn.
It was on like wooden stilts. Yeah. And it was there forever.
Yeah.
We've got one around the corner from us
and it's like 20 cars on a lawn.
And you're like,
get to work on them if we're working on them, guys.
Pick one.
Pick one and start.
And when that one's done,
don't you get another one until you've done another 19.
That one doesn't even have wheels.
Where's that going?
It's not going anywhere.
It doesn't even have wheels.
But then also like people's houses, they can do what they want.
Yeah, man.
You can do whatever you want.
That's the irony of this.
Some of the people that are commenting about the fence had the look of someone that would also tell the council to piss off and mind their own business because it's my property and I want to do what I want.
Yeah, yeah.
That's sort of the irony of that wasn't last on me.
So you want to take some calls this morning.
Reporting your neighbourhood eyesores.
Just those things.
Maybe they're mismatched.
Badly painted houses.
Maybe they're just, yeah, it's an eyesore
and every time you see it, it really bugs you.
What are those things in your neighbourhood?
0800 dials at Amazon number.
Give us a call now.
Text through 9696.
What's your neighbourhood eyesore?
Give us a call.
Talking about your neighbourhood eyesores. There's a call. Talk about your neighbourhood eyesores.
There's a new fence in my neighbourhood and everybody's talking about it.
And it's funny just to see people line up about it.
We had a message in about a Mr. Blobby house.
Yeah.
There are actually quite a few people that have painted their house like Mr. Blobby colours.
The pink with the yellow polka dots.
Yes.
Somebody sent back in their hometown in England, Cheltenham.
Lots of beautiful Victorian houses, lots of house-proud people.
One man painted the whole side of the end of his terrace house
with a giant picture of Mr. Blobby.
The outrage was palpable from the residents,
but I thought it was hilarious.
Oh, my God.
Someone texted, my mum collects wind chimes.
Now that would be more of an air sore.
You know when you hear those wind chimes.
It would be an ice or two.
It just would not stop.
Yeah.
When is an appropriate time for wind chimes?
Never.
In a Thai jungle?
Yeah.
In a Balinese little cafe or something.
Bali massage.
Oh yeah, I love a massage in New Era.
You're a bamboo chimer.
Yeah, because I like the deeper tone
than the chimes that we would have in an orchestra.
It's too high for me.
Too tinny.
No wind chimes.
Leave them in the 90s.
What about a metal chime with a wooden donger?
Oh, we love a wooden donger.
The wooden donger's a bit deeper.
I'll go wooden donger.
More than the high pitched.
The wind's getting up.
God, bit of a storm coming.
God, wind.
God, I hate wind chimes so much.
I hate wind.
I love that someone texted in,
speaking of the teddies during COVID.
I used to work in the police.
We received multiple complaints about a teddy that someone had put outside their house on the second story window.
Unfortunately, it had fallen and the teddy looked like it was hanging by a noose.
Oh, no.
Poor teddy.
I'm actually at pitchperfectchimes.com where you answer a series of questions and then they'll design you the perfect chimes for you.
Get out of here.
Is it metal with a metal donger?
Is it bamboo with a metal donger? Is it bamboo with a metal donger?
Oh, God.
Is it wooden donger?
Yep.
All your options are there.
Are you going to play us some sounds?
No, I was just looking where to order them rather than.
I googled metal chimes versus wooden chimes.
And now I'll click on videos.
Just walk everybody through the process.
Metal and bamboo wind chimes, all things spring.
I think I'm metal.
I think I'm metal wind chimes.
That's a guitar, love.
What you're playing there, that's a guitar.
Yeah, plug in your intro.
What's the intro?
That feels like royalty-free music.
I'm going to sit out in the backyard and listen to the wind chimes.
I've got one at my Michael's store.
Okay.
Oh, she's making her own.
I don't need a DIY.
I'm happy to buy one. I want to get to the bit where she plays it. Yeah, well need a DIY. I'm here to buy one.
I want to get to the bit where she plays it.
Yeah, well, that's what I'm going to.
She's putting beads on it.
Beads?
Straight up the ghastliest looking wind chime
and it doesn't even make any sound.
Shut up.
Get out.
What's the difference?
Wind chime versus mark tree?
I've got a video here,
Peaceful Wind Chimes,
Nine Hours of Relaxing Wind Chimes.
Okay, what wind chimes?
So I've always been a fan of wind chimes.
Stop playing this.
He's got a bamboo chime.
Hang on.
Don't turn me down.
I got it.
Wrong chord.
I got you.
I got you your damn wind chimes, son.
Go.
That's Hayley's wind chimes.
That's Hayley's.
I like that one.
That's...
But we've also got tones in the back.
That's metal hangers with a wooden donger, right? Well, what have you got? Metal wooden donger. I like that one. We've also got tones in the back.
Metal hangers with a wooden donger, right?
What have you got?
Metal wooden donger.
Sorry, that was a bit of a raw cut-off from me.
Bamboo chimes.
Bom-ba-ba-ba-ba-doo chimes. No, that's not what I was...
I thought you said you had some...
I did, I was a guy sitting there.
Back to me, the sounds of four wind chimes.
So this is metal.
That's too much.
This is four wind chimes. So this is metal. That's too much. This is four wind chimes
on the go at once.
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
I've got wood on,
I've got wood on,
I've got bamboo wood
on wood donger.
Very Balinese.
Yeah, I don't know
if I like that.
Also, the wind's not doing the work there.
I can see someone's hand at the bottom doing that thing
that you always got told off for doing when your parents had wind chimes
and you grabbed the thing underneath and shaped the donger.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you know, you can just go back to me now.
Okay, sorry.
Because I've got quite a unique,
a unique,
these are metal chimes inside a wooden case.
Oh.
That's quite nice, isn't it?
That's beautiful.
All day, though?
All day?
All day, every day, every waking minute of the day,
every sleeping hour of the night.
I think as a nation,
I think we leave the wind chimes back in the 90s
where everyone had a wind chime.
Shivers, guys.
10 out of 10 podcast, that one.
Yeah. I think two of us were 10 out of 10 podcast, that one. Yeah.
I think two of us were 10 out of 10
and one of us wasn't.
Well, who was that?
Which one?
We'll just leave that.
We'll just leave that there.
Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast,
give us a rating and review.
Please do.
Unless it's a bad one.
Oh, yeah.
Don't bother.
Yeah, no, don't.
Don't bother.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
