Thank you, Sam, for ruining the first story we were going to talk about this morning. Sam, we were going to talk about the chopsticks. But how do you not know they're in there? You've got two chopsticks through your brain, through your head, through your skull. I don't know, like you just get stabbed and then you think you've just been hit in the head?
Starting point is 00:00:28 And then you... And then how big are the chopsticks? Like, you didn't see them poking out? Well, I've got questions. I've got questions as well. Well, I've got questions. It would explain the headaches, though, the constant headaches. Wow, I've been getting more headaches recently.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Maybe I've got a chopstick. Thing is, I, like, just looking at you, like, because you've got quite a, it's a lovely head. I think a chopstick wouldn't go the whole way in that head, would it? It's quite small. You say I've got a small head. I'm just saying it's not like. You don't have a big head.
Starting point is 00:00:57 You don't have a big head. He's saying you couldn't fit a chopstick in there. Yeah, I'm just saying that. Unless it was diagonal, you could fit a chopstick. I was going to say if you went diagonal. But you'd know about that diagonal from under the chin. So his were up his nose. How did they not stab his?
Starting point is 00:01:09 They must have been small chopsticks. Did he do a blues close? He blues closed it. Wrong and wrong. Yeah. The top six on the way. It was a fight. He got stabbed in the face.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Yeah. Oh, my God. Well, we might be attacked with chopsticks by Winston Peters because he has said he is at war with the media. Yeah, so that's us. We're the media. Are we the media? We're the media.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I was just here for a laugh. I didn't realise we were doing something important. Particularly when someone I'm related to on Facebook will blame the media for something. And I'm like, you know I am the media. Oh, my God. Have you got a crazy family member? There's multiple people.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Yeah, okay. I've hidden them. So I can't see them blaming me for their problems. Yeah. But I am the media. We are the media. And we are at war. The top six signs we're at war with Winston Peters.

And I just laughed because I was like, I've already had a little brag that I got ID'd. id yeah because i used to get i did all the time and then it just sort of stopped a couple of years ago okay well that was the moment right when you started breakfast radio and started getting the bags under genuinely oh my god genuinely you can link the two yeah but i just look tired and rinsed and like the bags. And your alcohol consumption as well. Up, up, up, up, up, up. Yeah, right. Okay.

Starting point is 00:03:56 She was like, I'm guessing you're like 20. And I was like, good. And she said five. Good. 25. I'm 34. Yeah. It's because of your ratings.
Starting point is 00:04:09 No, but genuinely. It's that facial that you got. It's the facial I got. It's genuinely, when I laughed and then I said, no, I'm 34, she said, oh, my God, congratulations.

Starting point is 00:04:24 I literally just got congratulated. I didn't win anything. I didn't win the Olympics. I didn't win the lotto. I just had a face. Did you say, like, how do you accept that? She's like, congratulations. Do you say, thank you very much?

Starting point is 00:04:45 Okay. And then even this morning, then I went home last night and I was like, I should really keep working at this face thing. How are you? Okay. Because we haven't had a bathroom, I haven't had a mirror and lights.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yeah. So my face has been rough this year, if anything. And then yesterday. Your natural oils have reset. Maybe. Maybe I've sort of been overdoing it. But no, yesterday I did like a full skincare routine and even this morning I put on
Starting point is 00:05:11 a bit of oil and a bit of balm. So it's not natural radiance? Well, it's natural. I'm bringing it out with products. Right. Okay, right. Yeah. I'm bringing it out with expensive skincare products. Well, it's working. I mean, unreal. Unreal. I imagine things I could achieve. I mean, unreal. Unreal. I imagine things I could achieve if I got a facial
Starting point is 00:05:28 every week. Imagine the things I'd achieve if I got a massage. Is it good for your face to get a facial every week? I don't know. I don't think so, no. Well, because you shouldn't exfoliate too much, eh? No, you don't want to be playing around with it. Because otherwise you sandpaper your face off. I literally haven't had a facial. I think that's the first or second facial of my life.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And literally, you've been ID'd both days since. Well, congratulations to you on this monumental occasion. Thank you. If it doesn't happen today, it's going to be quite upsetting though. My face is looking good at the moment. Pardon me? Do you think my face is looking good at the moment? Yep.

Starting point is 00:09:01 So you're tracking each other. But it's more if you call them and they don't answer You're like, where the hell are they? Not like I'm tracking them, but just like Why, and then it'll be like, she'll be at the gym I'll be like, well that's why And it's good to know if your partner's coming home You can get dinner ready, can't you? If you see them on the move
Starting point is 00:09:15 You can get the chicken out of the freezer that you told them you were going to get out When you got home and totally forgot So you can be like, it's been out for ages, I don't know why it hasn't defrosted Nothing changes Because mum asked you to do that after school did you get the mints out
Starting point is 00:09:28 yeah and peel the potatoes nah I didn't get the mints out does she turn it off when she goes to the mall on one of her little sojins no sojins sojins
Starting point is 00:09:38 sojins sojins yeah no she doesn't she lives on where would she be that would cause you concern the ocean a gang pad a gang pad in the middle would she be that would cause you concern the ocean a gang pad
Starting point is 00:09:46 a gang pad in the middle of the Pacific Ocean yeah just in the ocean yeah well she's gone yeah thank god you got a backup wife though yeah I know it's always important to have one
Starting point is 00:09:54 Aaron doesn't track me he wouldn't know how and I don't care where he is he can be wherever he wants to be in terms of like we don't have a family to run or anything like that
Starting point is 00:10:02 Fletch you track me and that's more of a safety measure yeah sometimes I go a bit rogue it is yeah sometimes I can go rogue in terms of like, we don't have a family to run or anything like that. Fletch, you track me. And that's more of a safety measure. Sometimes I go a bit rogue. It is, yeah. I need to know you get home okay. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Because sometimes you're playing with your hair.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yeah, and it's all downhill from the hair tussle. We don't know where Hayley's going next. So that's their first rule. Their second rule is they have to share all passwords and PIN codes and have no secrets. Oh, so it's a marriage building trust. So yeah, it can only be successful. No wonder they get roasted online. This is definitely played up.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Having no secrets isn't a rule. Do you know what I mean? Like that's just secrets are secrets. Yeah. If you don't have secrets, they're no longer secrets. We don't abide by this. I've got mega secrets.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Mega secrets? All the secrets I hold. Okay. No. And finally they have agreed to no hanging out with the opposite gender alone. So that's the one that's got everyone going. Yeah. What are you afraid of?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah. How does that work if it was like a work situation? I'm sorry I can't go on that work trip where I'm going to have to not share a room with someone of the opposite gender but spend a lot of time with them without other people. So I couldn't even be hanging out
Starting point is 00:11:19 with you guys if I was in this. Yeah, because we're... Loophole here, what if you hang out with another man and... Oh, right, homosexuals. Oh. They've forgotten the homosexual clause. The homosexual loophole. Yeah, she's not thinking this through,
Starting point is 00:11:33 so he should really technically be allowed to hang out with no one because what if he kisses another guy? So he can't have any friends, but what if the lesbians go for her? She's with her female friends and then her friends are like, look, I don't want to be more than friends. I'm a lesbian. She belongs to the lesbians go for her? She's with her female friends and then her friends are like, look, I don't want to be more than friends.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I'm a lesbian. She belongs to the lesbians now. And then she gets enveloped by the lesbians. Because lesbians will envelop you. Oh, they do. They do. They do. They do.
Starting point is 00:11:57 They do. It's a loophole. Completely envelop you. It's just a little gay loophole there. These two better just stay at home with each other, I think. Yeah. Because they've missed the gay loophole here. No one's safe stay at home with each other, I think. Yeah. Because they've missed the gay loophole here. No one's safe.
Starting point is 00:12:06 No. The lesbians and the homosexual men. 20 past six. Next on the show, Harvard University. It is a, one of the top universities in America and the world.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Arguably. And they have got a new course from a personal friend of mine who actually sent me a message this morning. Oh. Morning. I think everybody got that message. No, I don't think anybody else apart from me got this morning. I think everybody got that message.
Starting point is 00:12:26 No, I don't think anybody else apart from me got this message. I think they did. Good morning to my personal friend Taylor Swift. Who thanked me on Spotify Wrapped for having her as my second most listened to artist of the year. We're going to get into Spotify Wrapped later
Starting point is 00:12:42 in the show because today and the next few days are those punishing days where you will see on every story and every post, everybody's Spotify rap. This year, a lot of the artists are doing personalized messages. They look under duress doing them. Yeah, they're sort of a hostage situation. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:13:02 There was not a lot of facial movement. I've checked it with the girlies and it adds up. Right, okay. She was not a lot of facial movement. I've checked it with the girlies and it adds up. Right, okay. She's had a face freeze. Right. But she sent me a message thanking me for listening to her. She didn't send you a message. She sent everybody. It's a generic. She didn't say, hi, Warren.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I sneezed at the start of it while I was driving and listening to her tell me. But I assume she said thanks for it. Well, did you get a message from Taylor Swift on your Spotify rap? I did, I did She also said thanks, Carlin Shannon, did you get one as well? Yeah, of course She said, Bestie, I love you
Starting point is 00:13:33 I want to see you in concert Love you, Shannon She wants to see you in concert Shannon Horne You're not a singer She's the magician's sidekick no I don't
Starting point is 00:13:47 she's a sister Shannon's got it in the blood her mum and dad are in the band and her mum's got hot legs yeah that's true do you know we joke about this but with AI
Starting point is 00:13:54 we're probably only a few years away from Spotify wrapped having individual actual artists I 100% believe it could be done this year oh yeah totally
Starting point is 00:14:03 hi Vaughn. Thank you so much for listening to me. I really appreciate it. Taylor Swift in the news again. The syllabus for the Harvard University Taylor Swift-centric course is thought to have been leaked online. Now, Carwen, you are one of the world's biggest Taylor Swift fans. Oh, my gosh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Thank you. Why are Harvard, a renowned university, doing this? Look, I don't know. It could just be a way to get Gen Z to actually go to uni. Yeah, because Gen Z
Starting point is 00:14:32 is so lazy. Gen Z not going to uni. I don't know. I just feel like everyone's like, oh, I might just take a couple gap years. You know, like maybe it's, and it's also very expensive
Starting point is 00:14:39 to go to uni. It's also double the amount of gap year. Everyone else is like, I'm going to do a gap year. Gen Z are like, I'm going to do gap years. It's like, no hon.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah. But you know, like, it's expensive to go to uni, so I feel like a lot of people are skipping it. Yeah, absolutely. A degree, what, is it a whole degree? No, it's just paper. It's like a course. But this is up there with a Bachelor of Arts,
Starting point is 00:15:00 or what did you do? Performing Arts. Bachelor of Performing Arts. I'll say useless. Yeah, probably. Unless you were going for that one specific role at a one specific radio station in the US that wanted a Taylor Swift reporter.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Yeah, right. I don't see any of those jobs advertised. So this is apparently the course description. Today she's the most recognisable country or formerly country or pop artist in North America, if not the world, her songwriting takes. And half a dozen genres in her economic impact changes cities. We'll move through Swift's own catalogue, including her own catalogue there.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I've said own catalogue, so Taylor's versions. Not Scooter Braun's or whoever owns those now. We spit on him. Hits, deep cuts, outtakes, re spit on him, yeah. Re-recordings, considering songwriting as its own art, distinct from poems recited or silently read. We will learn how to study fan culture, celebrity culture, adolescence, adulthood, and appropriation. How to think about white text, southern text,
Starting point is 00:15:58 transatlantic text, and queer subtexts. We'll learn to think about illicit affairs and hoaxes, champagne problems, and incomplete closure. Are these lyrics? Yeah. Ah, gotcha. Subtexts We'll learn to think about Illicit affairs And hoaxes Champagne problems And incomplete closure Are these lyrics? Yeah Ah gotcha Because I was like
Starting point is 00:16:10 This isn't making a lot of sense We'll look at her Precursors from Dolly Parton To the border ballads And at work about her Blah blah blah I'm bored I'm not good at this course
Starting point is 00:16:21 What happened to Everybody wanting to be A marine biologist You know Where are the doctors at? Where are the doctors? We need more doctors. All my friends did law degrees. There was a
Starting point is 00:16:29 respectable degree. I can see though you would take this as a side paper if maybe you wanted to get into the music industry, if you wanted to learn about copyright and masters and fan culture and marketing. Right. She is kind of a masterclass in marketing, let's be real.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah, right. Someone's going to get a doctorate and then they're going to be on a plane and they're going to be like, is there a doctor on board? And they're going to be like, actually, like, yes. I'm a doctor. And then they stand up, oh, my God, this man's having a heart attack. Yeah, I would too if I had accidentally listened to the not Taylor's version of Shake It Off.
Starting point is 00:17:03 And they're like, what are you doing? There's blood coming out of his mouth. Yeah, well, he's pale, stale and male. And he probably likes John Mayer. Let him die. Today is the day where the gender pay gap comes into effect for women. That effectively means that today from 2.38pm. This is in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Thursday the 30th of November in New Zealand, Aotearoa. We women are now working for free. Oh, that's terrible. Jared just started clapping. So I started clapping. I saw you start clapping. No, I don't know, Jared just started clapping. So I started clapping. I saw you start clapping. No, I started because Jared,
Starting point is 00:17:49 I thought, well, you said celebrate and I just started clapping and then Bourne, you were cheering? No, I didn't cheer.
Starting point is 00:17:54 You heard me. I said, oh, that's terrible. He is upset. He's upset in solidarity with his wife.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I'm an ally. My Spotify rap, my top five artists are all female. Yeah, wow. Well, one's Fleetwood Mac, but two females.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Lindsay Buckingham, obviously, the ideas. You are an ally, aren't you? I'm an ally, yeah. Name every woman. Whitney Houston. I'm every woman. You always give me, you are an ally. I'm an alleyway, I'm a dark alleyway.
Starting point is 00:18:23 You're an ally. Yeah, you don't want to walk it down there. So that's, there's always, it's every year it rolls around. an alley an alley I'm an alleyway I'm a dark alleyway you're an alley or a you know yeah you don't want to wander down there so that's that's there's always it's every year
Starting point is 00:18:29 it rolls around and it changes because you know fluctuating general cell something else what
Starting point is 00:18:36 what so on today of all days I think we all battle with fluctuating weight today of all days we're working all battle with fluctuation Today of all days
Starting point is 00:18:46 We're working for free And you bring that up Also it's not a fluctuation if it's just an upwards trend That's not a flux That's just a trend isn't it I think they're saying this year For women in general The pay gap is
Starting point is 00:19:02 8.6% That's getting better. Thank you. Yeah, it is. I mean, it's not perfect. Yeah. Yeah. So, which works out to being the average Kiwi woman
Starting point is 00:19:12 is paid 333 days for the equivalent of 365 days. Yeah. I hate to say it. It's worse if you are not white. That's the next fact. I hate to break it to you. I find most statistics end with, and it's worse if you're not white. It's worse if you are not white. That's the next fact. I hate to break it to you. I find most statistics end with, and it's worse if you're not white.
Starting point is 00:19:27 It's worse if you're not white. Yeah. So what I've done is because I finish work today at probably about 11 a.m. Yeah. So I'm actually missing the 2.38. So is it all right if I cash in my hours now to just like pull back the reins?
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yeah. Because I will be phoning it in and Shannon, Carwin, are you phoning it in for the rest of the year? Oh, you're never hearing from me again. Unless one of you boys want to take a pay cut. Vaughn actually said he, because he's an ally, he said he would love to do this.
Starting point is 00:19:58 No, I've been supporting women on Spotify. The trickle down economics is that money should get to the rest of you women. I don't think they pay that well. I don't know. I think it just goes to Taylor Swift and that's it. And Doja Cat. Are they not trickling it down? I don't know if they're trickling it down.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Doja has not been in touch for the trickle down. I thought it was a trickle down. I think for the rest of the year you should buy us breakfast every day. I think the coffees have been on Mama. I did coffees yesterday or the day before. I think Papa needs to step it up. Yeah, Papa Vaughan. It's Vaughan's time think the coffees have been on Mama. Yeah. I did coffees yesterday or the day before. I think Papa needs to step it up. Yeah, Papa Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Vaughan's time to buy coffees. What did you just have for breakfast? Some Vogels. Oh, Vogels. I was going to say, I know it was you and making toast. I could, you know, just bring in a couple of loaves of bread
Starting point is 00:20:37 and see you through to the end of the year. Oh, take it. We'll take it. I mean, yeah, I can't. That's bougie. I've got no income for the rest of the year, Vaughan. Like, literally, you know that work does this. They stop paying us.
Starting point is 00:20:50 How am I going to pay my rent? I don't know. The same way you were going to pass your driving test yesterday? Which was an off-air conversation. That was an off-air conversation. But let's just say if you're taking Shannon and Botany for a driving test and she's not doing well, she did offer
Starting point is 00:21:10 a couple of other things she could do for you to ensure she gets that full licence. In jest. I just need a pass because Ben Fletcher's giving me $100 for passing. He's paying. Oh my god, do you remember when I said that and I didn't think she'd actually believe that that's true? No. It's paying her. Oh my god do you remember when I said that and I didn't think she'd actually believe that that's true?
Starting point is 00:21:26 No. No. It's happening. You said that you didn't believe she'd do it. Also first time I said you have to pass first time not fail. She will. I will try my best. No she's gonna bloody really try her best. Don't try your best. The rest of the year is minimum trying for women. Now wait legally. Throw to me as a break.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Throw to me as you would. Can I just ask so legally do I have to pay her if she passes? Yeah, definitely. It's a binding contract. We signed it all. That's a legal thing. Yes, we signed it. Anyway, over to you now, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Sorry. Don't expect me to chip in here because I've got top five Spotify artists through a woman, so I'm out, actually, for the rest of the year as well. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:17 Winston Peters has said he is at war with the media amid ongoing baseless claims. That's us. I bags being in charge of the bazookas. I'll be in charge of the marching. Oh, yes. That's good. I bags being in charge of the bazookas. I'll be in charge of the marching. Oh, yes. That's good. When we charge, I've got good formations, good skills there.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I want to be in a tent at the back with the battleground mapped out and some figurines and stuff and being like, Well, I tell you what, boys, there's only one way to go, and it's over the top. I never have to go over the top. And then I was going to say, so you never actually have to be in the firing line. That is classic Bourne. I'll come from the back. I'll go over the top. And then I was going to say, so you never actually have to be in the firing line. That is classic Bourne.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I'll come from the back. I'll come from the back. No, there'll be time for that after the fighting. You're a naughty little bugger. You come in your tent and drop the flap. But until then, we've got to defend Winston Peters. Are we flirting? Stiff upper lip, boys.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Stiff upper lip. So, he's at war with us. Okay. Good luck. Cute. He's really embraced old man yelling at the clouds and all the conspiracy theories, hasn't he? He absolutely has.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Well, he saw it as his way back into Parliament, and I tell you what, he wasn't wrong, because there he is. He's a cunning bugger, isn't he? He's really, I saw it, he was talking about wanting to get rid of the terms, you know, the Maori names for government departments. Yeah. In particular, whakakotahi.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Mm. Not what it's called. It's called wakakotahi. Yeah. Oh, did he say it wrong? Oh, yeah, okay. He put an H in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:37 The waka is transport, right? Yeah. That's the equivalent. So I worked that out and I'm white. Yeah. And dumb. Yeah. Confusing though. It's amazing how. So I work that out and I'm white. Yeah. And dumb. Yeah. Confusing though.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It is amazing how people who consider themselves very smart, people can't work out what it means when the actual English translation is written straight underneath it and the government said they don't want to spend money on ridiculous things. It's going to spend money rebranding it. But what would I know? Shut up, Vaughan. You're the media.
Starting point is 00:24:00 This is why he's at war with you because you're running him out. Because of the propaganda. The top six signs we the media are at war with Winston Peters, number six on the media. This is why he's at war with you because you're running him out. Because of the propaganda. The top six signs we, the media, are at war with Winston Peters. Number six on the list. He's growing a very specific moustache and he just invaded Poland. Wow, yeah, that would be a... That's when we're like... Feels familiar.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Not happening. Yeah. Not on my watch, old boy. Number five on the list are the top six signs we, the media, are at war with Winston Peters. We tried to hash this out with some peace talks, but we put coasters out and he still put his drink straight on the table. He would too, the bastard. Yeah. And because he's got ice in his whiskey and it's going to leak, it's going to leave a ring.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah. And he's smoking inside. He loves to durry, doesn't he? He's smoking inside. Number four on the list of the top six signs we, the media, are at war with Winston Peters. He said Taylor Swift was no Madonna. And we popped off. We popped off.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Jeepers. We popped off. Number three on the list of the top six signs we, the media, are at war with Winston Peters. He assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and then declared war on Serbia. Yeah, I don't know. Was that him?
Starting point is 00:25:05 Are you sure that's him? I'm pretty sure that's what's happened. Okay. That's just what's happened. Right. That's what's happened. Number two on the list of the top six signs where the media are at war with Winston Peters.
Starting point is 00:25:16 We all got cute matching uniforms and the boys' uniform is the same as the girls' uniforms and we're all gay and we're all gender fluid and we keep adding more letters to LGBTQI+. LMNOP. He's not going to like that. We're hoping to just smoke them out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:33 This stuff really riles them up. Guess what? We're all using the same toilet. We're hoping it will spontaneously combust. Yeah. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six signs we, the media, are at war with Winston Peters.
Starting point is 00:25:45 We, the media, have agreed to instigate the upturned rug corner policy. The most deadly weapon known to someone Winston's age. What? Oh, yeah. Turn up the corner of the rug and let the rug do the work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Oh, he's had a fall. Yeah. Aw. Wink. Yeah. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So there was a woman who, she was out op shopping
Starting point is 00:26:11 and she saw in an op shop, what's that? What's that? What's that? That looks beautiful. She pulls it out. It is a Vera Wang wedding dress. Now, this probably means nothing to you, but a Vera Wang wedding dress is like the creme de la creme
Starting point is 00:26:24 of wedding dresses. That's a celebrity wedding dress person, right? Very much so. But, like, people do wear Vera Wang. Like, non-celebrities wear Vera Wang. But you have to have a ton of money. That was my next question. How much is a Wang?
Starting point is 00:26:37 You veer towards a few Wangs. Yeah, I do veer heavily towards the Wangs. I don't even know how you would buy one. I wouldn't even know where you would go to get one. The Vera Wang store. Vera Wang wedding dress. Okay, so... Maybe like 10 for a cheap one.
Starting point is 00:26:57 It said prices ranged from 5,000 to 6,990. That's not terrible, but if you think about most Vera Wangs that Sorry, I'm just going to stop myself there. That is a terrible amount of money to spend on a wedding dress. But people spend that on New Zealand designer wedding dresses. But Vera Wang does like massive dresses as well. She's known for these like huge voluminous things.
Starting point is 00:27:18 In fact, wasn't the wedding dress from Sex and the City Vera Wang? No. McQueen. It was McQueen. Lightning McQueen. I get Wang? No. McQueen. It was McQueen. Lightning McQueen. I get married in a Lightning McQueen. Alexander McQueen. It's a great Pixar film. There are some here that are like $8,000
Starting point is 00:27:33 US dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's like insane. Yeah, I'd say from like $10,000 to $20,000 right? And then you're going to get divorced in like, because half the people are getting divorced, aren't they? Stats say. Stats say. So this woman is there and she sees this wedding dress.
Starting point is 00:27:49 She pulls it out at this op shop. It's a Vera Wang. She knows what that means. And it's only like a couple hundred dollars. So she buys it despite the fact that she's not engaged. There's not a wedding coming. She's not even engaged. So she has not engaged. Oh. There's not a wedding coming.
Starting point is 00:28:05 She's not even engaged. So she has a boyfriend. She has a boyfriend, but it's early days and they're not even talking about weddings yet. But she was like, what, am I just going to let this pass? I would 100% have done the same. Would there be a giant red flag if you've been dating someone a year and they go out and buy a wedding dress
Starting point is 00:28:24 and you haven't even talked about weddings? No, but it's kind of like, even if I'm not getting married to you, I'm getting married in a big gang. Yeah, and that's the dress they want to get married in. Right. And so you just buy it and tuck it away somewhere. You put it in the attic. I am going to say later on in the TikTok, she's like,
Starting point is 00:28:38 I'm thinking like a half up, half down here thing. You're like, well, hey, well, ha, ha, ha, ha. But fashions also change. Yeah, and also your body changes. And it'd keep your gym ratio on point if you've got a how many thousand dollar Vera Wang in the cupboard it could possibly be. I know if that was like a size 10 or something,
Starting point is 00:28:55 you're like, oh, my body really wants to be a 14 though. But I mean, this is, I mean, I don't want to paint the picture of like, women have these dreams of weddings and they're wedding obsessed. But like I definitely. They do though. I had a Pinterest board. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 For years. Well before Aaron proposed, I had like it all kind of planned out in my mind. What about before you met him? Not quite. I think I always dreamed that I'd have a real cool, punky wedding and stuff. Exactly right. I think you're about to say a pumpkin, like a pumpkin carriage.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Like a Cinderella thing. Cinderella, yeah. I want to know, because I know that this woman is not alone. Okay. What did you plan before the wedding, before the engagement? Did you have something all ready to go for your wedding before you even, maybe before you
Starting point is 00:29:47 even had a boyfriend or a girlfriend or an engagement ring on your finger? Maybe you already had an engagement ring. You'd already picked it. Did your wife have any plans pre childhood that she put through for the
Starting point is 00:30:04 wedding? No, I don't. I'm not sure. I don't I don't. I'm not sure I don't think so though. I'm not 100% sure. Because that's the thing a lot of the time she was a real tomboy growing up so I don't know if she had
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah right. And then she became a Hamilton girl racer. Yeah. She probably thought she was going to get married to the streets. Yeah of course.
Starting point is 00:30:20 And then she was going to live her life a quarter mile at a time. And then you came along and changed everything. And she said she looked at me with her shaved then you came along and changed everything and she said she looked at me with her shaved head
Starting point is 00:30:27 and her white tank top on and she said nothing's more important than family yeah that's what she said are you her Vin Diesel or Paul Walker
Starting point is 00:30:34 she's my Vin Diesel I'm Michelle Rodriguez oh you are yeah you're more Michelle Rodriguez 100% yeah thank you for that
Starting point is 00:30:42 I appreciate that you guys are important because some people do struggle with the gender role reversal in our Fast and the furious life not us i think we did yeah we had a furious themed wedding yeah it was cool though yeah it was you drifted in yeah because that's the thing when we got married after the i think where the first four were out when we were yeah i believe tokyo drift was definitely out because we had the tokyo drift into the wedding and that's why you both took two days off work
Starting point is 00:31:06 when Paul Walker died. God, we were heartbroken. You were heart... And that's why... We were absolutely heartbroken. Sade, her favourite artist is Charlie Puth. Loves Charlie Puth. She is obsessed with Charlie Puth.
Starting point is 00:31:14 She's obsessed with Charlie Puth. Loves Charlie Puth. Summed up what we were all struggling to put into words. Yeah, he did. He did. Now, 0800 DALES at Amazon number. Can I just say one last thing? Thank you. He did. Now, all 800 dials at Amazon number. Can I just say one last thing? Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:31:30 When I listened to the vows that you guys said to each other, and you started with... It was beautiful. I knew what it meant. I knew it meant a lot. It's the only time I've cried at a wedding. As one's best man. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:44 While you were beside me in my 10-second streetcar. Yeah. That's why I chose you. Yeah, I know. Because I was the navigator. He's your chosen family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's your born family and your chosen family.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Okay, I feel like we've gone down a fast and furious rabbit hole here. We cracked some Coronas. We had a backyard barbecue, baby. Yeah. We're family. 0800-DARLS-AT-M is our number. 9696. We want to know this morning if you've planned any of your wedding,
Starting point is 00:32:09 if you ever planned or maybe you've got something for your wedding. Before the question has even been asked. Maybe it's an idea from your childhood, from a scrapbook. A venue. Yeah. Maybe you've put down a little booking in a venue. Play. ZM's Fletchford and Ailey.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Play. ZM. We want to know if you planned what... Ed Sheeran is an English singer-songwriter. Well, why is your Siri going on? Because you said Ed Sheeran, and every time you say... Every time. ZM, Ed Sheeran, Siri's like, I'm here, baby, what do you need? Every time, throws me up the wall. ZM, Ed Sheeran doesn't sound anything like, hey, Siri.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Do it again and see if it happens again. ZM, Ed Sheeran.'t sound anything like, hey Siri. Do it again and see if it happens again. ZM, Ed Sheeran. No, I didn't do it that time. No, mine did. Yours did. Take your iPhone first. Aha! What is with that?
Starting point is 00:32:54 Is that my accent? That's my accent. Do you think it's ZM? It sounds a bit like Siri, maybe. No, I don't know. Ed Sheeran. But you can say Siri and look, I've just said it, and nothing's happened. Yeah, it's so weird.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Do you have to say, hey, Siri? ZM. But even then, I'm saying, hey, Siri, and my computer's not doing anything. You say, Ed Sheeran, ZM, Ed Sheeran, and it goes crazy. Let's see what we can find. Ed Sheeran is the British artist. We are talking now about the thing that you planned
Starting point is 00:33:24 in regards to a wedding before you were ever engaged because there's a woman who spotted a Vera Wang wedding dress in an op shop and she just bought it despite the fact that she's just got a new relationship and there's no talk of that. Yeah. Now we want to know if you've done something like this maybe before you even had a partner you were like right well I'm just
Starting point is 00:33:39 going to get that and you know get that all booked up and ready to go. I'll just get this sorted 10 years early, before I've even got a boyfriend. I've definitely got two cakes prepared. Two friends of mine have always said they're going to do cakes. Click, click, on a sustainer in the cupboard, ready to go. In the freezer.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Yeah, yeah, it's just in the freezer. No, I've just had friends who are amazing cake makers, one of whom is Aaron's sister. And she was like, when you get married, I'll make you a cake. So that's a booking done. And then my friend Maria was also like, I'll make you a cake. So that's a booking done. And then my friend Maria was also like, I'll make you a cake. But this is acceptable because this is your sister-in-law
Starting point is 00:34:08 to be and you're already engaged. Yeah, we are engaged. That's not crazy. It doesn't really feel like a real engagement though, right? Because it's been so long. Because it involves
Starting point is 00:34:17 planning a wedding. Yeah. I'm not hurt. It was Vivian Westwood that designed Carrie's wedding dress on Sex and the City 2. Did I say McQueen? You said Lightning McQueen but then you changed to somebody else. I'm not her. It was Vivian Westwood that designed Carrie's wedding dress on Sex and the City 2. Did I say McQueen? You said Lightning McQueen, but then you changed to somebody else.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I'm so sorry. Ange, what did you plan before the engagement? Well, stumbled upon a dress. Okay. Oh, my God. Where did you find it? What do you mean you stumbled upon a dress? Did you just fall into a wedding dress shop?
Starting point is 00:34:42 Sort of, yeah. No, it was actually a second-hand store in Paris, in Notre Dame. I was about 18 at the time. Did the wedding dress have a big hump on it? It's got room for a hump. It's got room for a hunchback. You can unzip it like the suitcase expanders.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Yeah. We could adjust that when we got home. Yeah, right. And so how long from when you bought this, because this is very much like the story of the lady that just found this Vera Wang at her op shop. How long before you got married did you use it? Yeah. I got married nine years later.
Starting point is 00:35:18 That's cool though. You know, and you can be like, my designer wedding dress is from Paris. Like how rad is that to be able to say? Yeah, I just did. Had it aged though? Did it look like a different style of the time? No, it was already vintage. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Put a ton of lace on it, probably a bit too much lace, so we took that off and took it to the dry cleaner. It's got a wash and it came out beautifully, but it was stuffed in the past. The bag rolled up, hidden away. I thought it was a little bit silly to purchase, actually. Am I allowed to ask how much you paid for it? A hundred and fifty francs. Holy moly.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Which one would it be? Three hundred New Zealand in the day? Was it half? Yeah. I think it's smart because, like, yes, styles change, but wedding dresses almost not as much. You know, there's a few wedding trends. It's a bit of a classic.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Yeah, but, like, classic wedding dresses are quite similar. Vaughan, you had shoulder pads on your wedding dress, and they've aged terribly. I did, actually. Yeah, see, yeah. A true shoulder. Yeah. Yeah, but arguably a little puffed shoulders back and fat, you know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I like that, Ange. Get that shoulder. Ange, thank you. Some messages in. My sister had a date picked out in the very early days of dating. She did get married on that day, Ang. Don't be afraid to get that shoulder. Ang, thank you. Some messages in. My sister had a date picked out in the very early days of dating. She did get married on that day, too. I'm sure day of the year, not, like, specific year, like, specific date. Like, I want to get married on January 12th, you could say.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Was it a star sign thing? Like, because we're Capricorn and Pisces, we must get married on the 19th of October. Yeah, when the moon's in the moon is The last half of it Yes we need to get married now darling Because for the moon is now Merced is moon's God to orbit in the retrogrades I've got all my wedding planned out
Starting point is 00:36:59 Venue, type of dress Colour theme, groom suit Colour and style, cake, everything. Please tell me there's at least a boyfriend. There's not. Just missing the partner part. I'm so alone. You've got to shuffle.
Starting point is 00:37:15 The groom suit's picked out. What if he comes in and he's a bit of a rock and roller? Also, never tell a potential boyfriend you've got everything planned. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You look crazy. You look crazy. Also, never tell a potential boyfriend you've got everything planned. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Till at least three years old. You look crazy. You look crazy.
Starting point is 00:37:29 We don't want to do that. Someone said, even before I had a girlfriend, I had an escape plan. Didn't work. I'm married now. What was the escape plan? I just imagined they were just going to scoot away. Run away overseas. Scoot away.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I wore my wedding dress with my future mother-in-law and auntie-in-law. We did this before I was proposed to. Oh, wow. We just thought it would push the issue along. Yeah, we'll do that. We'll do that. I'm not even engaged yet, and we've decided to have a surprise wedding at the engagement party.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Oh, cute. Oh, yeah, people do that. Yeah, yeah. I've openly talked about wedding plans, visited venues, and had a wedding date before he'd proposed. Okay, that's a little proposed. I was pregnant with baby number three and had absolutely had enough of waiting.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That's fair enough. Why don't you ask? She should have asked him. I actually, I have a friend as well who planned a wedding. Who just was like well I'm just going to make it happen. Yeah right. Otherwise you just end up like you waiting nine years. You just turn up you turn up mate and there'll be a wedding and you can just go along with that.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Yeah. I know someone that booked the wedding venue before they got engaged. Fast forward eight months and they separated six weeks after the wedding because she'd been cheating. Wait, she booked the venue? Yeah, and she'd been cheating. And then she had someone else. She went through with marriage and then six weeks later, gone. That sounded like if I book this wedding venue, at least I'll stop cheating and stay with him.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Maybe this is what I need to get off the cheating. Didn't work, though, did it? Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. Ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. We are 24 days, 16
Starting point is 00:39:05 hours and 24 minutes away from Christmas. So excited. And here's some Christmas spottings. Pekalani sent in a picture from the Cook Islands. I've seen some people in the Cook Islands lately. I've got an itch that can only be scratched by Rarotonga. I need to get
Starting point is 00:39:22 back. Yeah, you love your Rarotonga. I don't think Rarotonga itches are cured by hydrocortisone either. I think it's only cured by the Rarotonga. I'm going to need to get back. Yeah, you love your Rarotonga. I don't think Rarotonga itches are cured by hydrocortisone either. I think it's only cured by the Rarotonga stuff. I'm too scared to go back ever since we took that scooter back with the broken mud flap and we covered it up with mud. I reckon they'll arrest me. We glued that on though.
Starting point is 00:39:37 I'm just worried that Hertz or Budget are really going to... You're going to own up to it if you broke it. We were so poor at the time. Oh, gosh. Like, you couldn't afford a flap. Flaps are real expensive.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Oh, you're telling me. You are telling me. Anyway, in the Cook Islands, there's a big Santa with a welcome sign stuck in the sand on the beach. Oh, yeah, nice. Oh, that's good stuff. Also, Tash sent in a picture saying,
Starting point is 00:40:05 oh, this has got to be it. It's the Christmas cookie buckets have been delivered from the cookie time. Oh, I'm seeing those everywhere. Yeah. Did you get any reports of the, someone posted on Reddit, the creepy Havelock North Santa?
Starting point is 00:40:17 It's like a paper mache looking. Yeah, yeah. It's New Zealand's new favourite creepy Santa. Yeah. Because the Queen Street one was retired and then abandoned. It's parts of it. I actually haven't had an update this Christmas season New Zealand's new favourite creepy Santa. Yeah. Because the Queen Street one was retired and then abandoned. It's parts of it. I actually haven't had an update this Christmas season about how that's looking in Wanaka.

Somebody said, check this out. I just ordered a cocktail and it's's a Christmas-themed cocktail. Oh, my God. So they've put hundreds and thousands around the rim of the glass,
Starting point is 00:40:51 and the colours have run down the side of the glass. That is a well done. It looks like a rainbow candy cane. You'll tie. It could be also a Pride cocktail, too, in Pride Night. Yeah, it's pretty gay. There's the Havelock North Creepy Santa. It looks almost like a miniature version of the old Queen Street one.
Starting point is 00:41:06 It looks like it's doing a... He knows when you're a... He does look like he's raising his arm. It's a 90 degree elbow and the hands up by the head. Like he's about to smack a kid. Like he's waving. No, it looks like he's about to smack a naughty kid. Like he's your dad.
Starting point is 00:41:19 You know when you drive away from your parents and your dad's like, Bye. And they do this in the driveway until you turn the corner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they go inside and driveway until you turn the corner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they go inside and cry because you've left. I think it looks creepy. Well, 24 days away

Starting point is 00:45:14 Thank you guys so much for coming in. That was so beautiful. In all seriousness, you can see these guys at the ASB waterfront. They're doing the sound of music. Yeah. Play it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pearls. front. They're doing the sound of music. Yeah. Today's silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:45:45 How long should a hug be? I was, well, our friend Celia, who works here at NZB in the building, she has been in Europe for like 18 years. Has she? Well, it's certainly felt like 18 years. Someone missed Celia. Jesus Christ, let it be known,
Starting point is 00:46:02 someone really missed Celia. Jeez. Does Margaret know about this? missed Celia. Jeez. Does Margaret know about this? My fictitious wife. And so, you know, we all gave her a big hug
Starting point is 00:46:12 because it's been months. I think she's been away for like three months. It feels like maybe four even. And so we had a hug but then I went to pull back
Starting point is 00:46:19 after what I thought was an acceptable length to hug and she really had me in tight and I was like fighting to get away from her. Yeah. She was kind of length to hug. And she really had me in tight. And I was like fighting to get away from it. Yeah. She was kind of kept me there.
Starting point is 00:46:29 You saw this, Hayley. I did see it. You had to disengage before involuntary arousal. Which is a problem you have. That's why he doesn't hug. Big problem I have. Yeah, yeah. Every time he feels a soft breast pressed against him,
Starting point is 00:46:40 he's like, oh, no, I'm a goner. Yeah. You know? I'm about to straight up die. I'll just pop straight up. I'll take this out of nature. You know I'm just not a big hugger. Like, I no, I'm a goner. Oh, I'm about to, straight up, I'll just pop straight up, I'll take the South Asia. You know I'm just not a big hugger. Like, I've had quite a few hugs lately, and some of them have been pretty good.
Starting point is 00:46:50 It's not your love language. Yeah. I'll say some of them have been pretty good, actually. You're definitely softening up in your old age. Yeah. You're definitely becoming a bit more of a hugger. Okay. Yeah. But it is weird. I've noticed I've been taking a track. It's weird, and you mentioned this, like, your wife will pop up, pop into something, and we've been hanging out all day.
Starting point is 00:47:05 But then I'll hug her, but then feel like, do I hug you? Yeah. But then I've just seen you. Yeah. All week, I've been all week with you. You don't need a hug. No, I don't need a hug. And then it's like, are you expecting a hug?
Starting point is 00:47:14 But I'll hug people I haven't seen for a while. Yeah. Like if Margaret came, for example, and I haven't seen your lovely Margaret for a while, I'd give her a hug. We need to catch up with her, actually. My Margaret doesn't exist, but okay, sure. She doesn't exist, but man, she gives a good cuddle. You're disrespecting that beautiful woman. So, some results.
Starting point is 00:47:32 How long should a hug be? We're options. We had options. One second, five seconds, 30 seconds, or one minute? One minute? Hayley would hug for a minute if she could. Yeah, when I was in high school, my friend Maria and I,
Starting point is 00:47:45 she's very physical. We've always been really cuddly together. We put a timer on once for five minutes and we stood in her room. We had a five-minute cuddle and we just like melted into each other. Well, you stood in her room. Mm.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Was this a dabble? No, no, it wasn't a dabbling thing. It was just our love language with each other is physical. Okay. So we've always cuddled and we had a five-minute hug. And every now and then, like even now,
Starting point is 00:48:06 like literally 20 years later, we were 13. You would hug Maria for that long? Yeah, we would say to each other like, man, I'm really,
Starting point is 00:48:13 I need a five minute cuddle. That's so weird. Standing. Yeah, standing. That's so weird. No, not lying.
Starting point is 00:48:20 One second. 25% of people believe a hug should last for one second. Oh, that is so bro. That's a pat. That's a pat. 25% of people believe it. A hug should last for one second. Oh, that is so bro. That's a pat. That's a pat. 68% of people, nearly, 68% of people said five seconds. One, two, three, four, five.
Starting point is 00:48:37 We should have done a three second option. What was that? One second was the first option. One second, five seconds, 30 seconds. 5% of people say 30 seconds. That's too long. That's in one in 20 person. Maybe if a friend or a loved one has been in captivity or something.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Captivity? Oh, yeah, you're holding them in a... You know, like... ISIS. Yeah, like ISIS. They've been with ISIS. They've been with ISIS for six years. 30 second hug.
Starting point is 00:48:59 You grab them. Absolutely. What if they've been with Al-Qaeda? Longer or shorter? Shorter. Same length. Same length. Same length. Same length.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Sure. And one minute? 1% of people who go to see the hug should last for one minute. That's a long time. Okay, some feedback. Logan. I'd say a good three Mississippis and a firm squeeze is adequate. That's your three seconds.
Starting point is 00:49:19 That's towards the five. A squeeze of what? The shoulders. You got to grab, in, pat, pat. Sometimes you get a bit of back muscle. You're like, have you been working out? And then you start running your fingernails down their back. I'm kind of like grabbing them.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Do you know what I like to do is the hug, which then slips away to just an arm around the shoulder. Oh, that's a bit much. And then you're still kind of hanging on for a longer amount of time. Oh, no. Okay. It all depends on who you're hugging, says Sarah. Sometimes when I'm feeling vulnies,
Starting point is 00:49:51 my husband is forced to hug me for at least a minute. So if I'm hugging Sade for any amount of time, my hands are going for that cake. I know, you're getting turned on. I'm like, is this leading somewhere? Yeah, right. I've got a bunch of things. And got my arms around the back. I'm like, is this leading somewhere? Yeah, right. I got a bunch of these hands. And she's having an emotional day.
Starting point is 00:50:07 She just wants your warm embrace, and you're trying to get it on. I'm like, I think I am picking up your signs. We're about to do it. You're not, are you? She's like, oh, you're not going to believe who died. And you're like, oh, my God, come here. Oh, my God, over there. Honk, honk.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Honk, honk. Classic male maneuver there. They have died But I tell you what Hasn't died You know what makes this better My boner My boner
Starting point is 00:50:30 For that hot ass Give me a handful Of that cake My friend just died Uh huh Auga Auga Giggity giggity
Starting point is 00:50:41 Sorry I hated that Oh my god Did you just do a giggity giggity Sorry I hated that Oh my god Did you just do a giggity giggity He did a quagmire I went in my mind I was like Make a really like
Starting point is 00:50:50 Inappropriate noise To make after someone Is telling you That someone's friend's died And my mind was like The most inappropriate thing Giggity giggity What about a bomb chicka wow wow
Starting point is 00:50:57 Bomb chicka wow wow 30 seconds One minute Says Taylor That's crazy I think it comes down to Who it is Based on length of time,
Starting point is 00:51:05 but a couple of seconds, Max. Yeah. Kate says, a hug should be as long as it needs to be. I always let the other person let it go first. You never know who might need it. You're a follower. But, Kate, what if it's you that needs the hug? Maybe you just need to hold on next time.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Giggity, giggity. That's what it does. And it might lead to giggity. This is so cute. I love it so much. Now, we actually kind of had our own version of this with beautiful Max, our friend Max, who played Octopus Nine, which we wrongfully named the Octopus Knight and the people we rallied behind. And he was stoked for the role. In my mind, he'll always been Octopus 9 which we wrongfully named the Octopus Knight
Starting point is 00:51:46 and the people we rallied behind and he was stoked for the role yeah me too he is our Octopus Knight beautiful yes there is a video that has gone viral of a kid who is also very excited with the part he's been cast in
Starting point is 00:52:01 in the school nativity scene guess what I am for the nativity? I'm a classic one. Classic role, is it? Classic part. Yeah. Joseph. No.
Starting point is 00:52:13 It's classic. One of the Three Wise Men. No. You tell me then, Chris. I'm door holder number three. I'll be holding doors. He's holding his door open. It's a classic one, mate.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I'm door holder number three. You should see his face. He's like, I'm holding doors. And she's like, oh, that's amazing. Who are you holding doors for? He's like, probably like Joseph and Mary. Oh, my God. He is so delighted.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And it's just like, it is just the sweetest thing. That's the part he's been cast in. Yeah. Now, not all of us can be Joseph or the Three Wise Men. No. There's only three. There's only three. Three Wise Men.
Starting point is 00:52:53 There's three men. You already cut out, you know, women. Yeah. And more than three men in those roles. So I want to talk about the rubbish part that you played in your school play, in your school production, school musical. Britain's massive on nativities. When they do the story of the birth of Christ.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yeah, they're right. Lots of schools do it. My mate who lives over there, his kids have been in the nativity every year. Is it because they're in school right up to Christmas and they don't have the summer break like we do? Yeah. It is actually Christm't have like the summer break like we do. Yeah. It is actually Christmassy.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Because the kids do like Christmas concerts and Christmas performances and stuff. Right. But it's never like nativity. It's never. Maybe the separation of church and state then. Not heavy on Jesus. Yeah, yeah, totally. I'd be bloody livid if the public school system was forcing me down their throat.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Did you have a big Morrinsville like school production? There was always productions, but I was never in them. Oh. No, I was like. But I was never in them Oh No I But why though Because I know I was I always watched them
Starting point is 00:53:49 And I was like I should go on that next year And they would come to it And they'd be like We're having auditions And one of my mates Would be like That's nerdy
Starting point is 00:53:56 I'd be like yeah Who'd want to be involved in that With a little performer inside Yeah And he was just He wanted to be too cool Look at him now He's missed out on He missed out on all the fun.
Starting point is 00:54:06 So now he has to show up and make up for it. Yeah. Yeah. I think I've said before that I played Potiphar's wife in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Oh, yeah. And I was very excited because she was rich. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:19 And they gave me a Hessian sack to wear, my mum said, over my dead body, and she sewed me a nice purple thing with gold trim. Do you remember? And then she made Sarah Darziel be my slave and fan me. Yeah. Your mother did? My mother did. Was Patsy involved at all?
Starting point is 00:54:34 No, not involved at all. External involved. How did she convince Sarah Darziel to fan you? I actually can't remember because my mum came to school with the costume and then was like, one of the girls and then one of the girls could do that. Was the teacher just like, oh my God. But this was early, early days before I really became the performer I am.
Starting point is 00:54:53 And Potiphar's wife has no lines. Did Patsy get you some lines? Yep. We took one of them from Potiphar. We took one of the lines from Potiphar. Tiger mum. Who the hell is Potiphar? Because I've never heard of Joseph in a Technicolor dream coat.
Starting point is 00:55:08 He's the rich business mogul of the Nile. I've heard of it. I don't know anything about it. Then Jared was telling us he was Paul the Redeemer. No, who are you? Peter the Denier. Peter the Denier, not Paul the Redeemer. You went to that private school that had ooh-la-la.
Starting point is 00:55:20 They have ooh-la-la productions, don't they? Yeah. They don't mess around. They've got a few theatres. A few? Yeah, they do. They've got multiple theatres. productions, don't they? Yeah. They don't mess around. They've got a few theatres. A few? Yeah, they do. They've got multiple theatres. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Yeah, it's very nice. I remember doing a Shakespeare production a little bit later as a teenager, and one of the kids there was so bad they made her be the prompt, which is when you forget a line, you yell out, line, and they're following the script and they read it. Oh, that's embarrassing. And she took it very seriously. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:55:44 And so we made sure to at least forget one line a night. Because I was there at Intermediate. I was never included in the plays, but I was doing the lighting. I pressed all the buttons. Oh, you were the techie. And now look at me. I press all the buttons.
Starting point is 00:55:55 As Potiphar's wife, did you seduce Joseph? No, I think I was six or seven. I think I was like eight maybe, eight years old. I just Googled Potiphar's wife and it said she tries to seduce Joseph. Yeah. Naughty. I have a photo of me in this iconic purple outfit
Starting point is 00:56:10 and Sarah Darziel is there with a fan looking very miffed. Okay, we want to... Because your mum's like, Sarah, fan my daughter. Sarah fan her. Fan her. She's Potiphar's wife. She's rich.
Starting point is 00:56:19 We want to take your calls. 0800 DARZELM and you can text through 9696. What was your shitty part in the school production? Yeah. We don't want to hear if you were800 DALS at M and you can text through 9696 what was your shitty part in the school production?

Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Right now we're talking about the worst part,
Starting point is 00:56:52 the bad part that you played in the school production because it's a little British kid and he's the door holder three in the nativity scene. Yeah, of how many door holders are there in, there must be a lot. There'll be quite a few, quite a lot of doors in the nativity. So the crappy part that you played in your school production. Some of these
Starting point is 00:57:09 are so good. There are some great messages and calls. Portia, you went for the lead role of your school production. Yeah, the lead role was doing full on singing, did all my auditions and then I got given a silent elephant.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Sorry. Sorry. So you weren't even allowed to go, like trumpet, nothing? Nothing. Wait, but you are, can we just confirm that Portia is a human and not an elephant?
Starting point is 00:57:39 100% confirmation. It was half and one grey, and it was, yeah, it's just traumatised me for the rest of my life. Right. What was the production that needs an elephant? I can't remember. Silent Elephant.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I'll have to ask Mum. Maybe it was a jungle book or something? Yeah. Oh, my God. To go from, like, wanting the lead role to being an elephant and not allowed to talk is horrible. It's good to hear from you, though, Silent Elephant. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:04 It's good to hear Silent Elephant finding their voice. Debra, what part did you play in your school production? I was probably about eight and I played the mirror in Snow White. Mirror, mirror on the wall. That's you. And did you just have to wear some kind of mirror costume? No, no. What everybody saw was my fingers holding a mirror. You didn't play the mirror. You are the mirror holder. You are mirror holder number one. So you didn't get to say. I did have lines. Oh, you did have lines. You, so you spoke the mirror's lines
Starting point is 00:58:39 when they're like mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. Yeah. And I, I was absolutely terrified that I was all? Yep. Yep. Okay. I was absolutely terrified that I was going to mess it up. Yeah, but at least you were hidden. At least you were hidden. It was just your hand. I could have been anything. Wow. Great work, Mira. Thank you, Mira. Jordan,
Starting point is 00:58:57 what was your role in the school production? Good morning, guys. I was lead trash in my school production. You are trash. I know. I can hear it. Sorry?
Starting point is 00:59:10 Okay, what was the production? So we always did stupid ones, and this year's one was on sustainability. So, like, cars polluting the world, and I literally wore a black rubbish bag that we had to collect tick packets and stuff at lunchtime that we had to wash out and hot glue onto it. You were a little trash.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Yeah, to Mad World. Gary Jones. Oh, my God. So you've got a bag of trash dancing around your garage. Wow. Poetic, though. Yeah, poetic. Yeah, very poetic. Yeah, yeah. Gary Jules. Faces. What are faces? Wow. Poetic, though. Yeah, poetic.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Yeah, very poetic. Yeah, yeah. Has it made you recycle more, do you think? Yeah, I would say it recycles. I reckon that's a lot. Was this in high school or primary? This was primary. Wow, you teach a year. I didn't care that much.
Starting point is 01:00:03 They were writing original scripts. Everybody knows it's best just to regurgitate a favourite. Jordan, thank you. Liz, what was your role in the school production? Hi, I was in the nativity in my primary school. I was goat number three. Now, did you have to make any bleats? That was a singular bleat.
Starting point is 01:00:24 It was a meh. Oh, shit. I see why she got the part, though. Yeah? That was a singular bleat. It was a bleat. Oh, shit. I see why she got the part, though. Yeah, that was really good, Liz. Thank you. My brother was the tree. Oh, I see your brother. Proud parents.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Yeah, that's kind of a no speaking. That's the wind noise, actually. The tree wouldn't speak. The tree would rustle. How many other goats were there? Were you the last goat as goat number three? I was the last goat, yeah. You were three of three.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Can I just shoot a guess that goat number one led the charge with a bar, and then goat number two barred, and then you barred? Yeah, it was three bars in a row, yeah. Beautiful, beautiful. That sounds like it's just... She was headlining the bars.
Starting point is 01:01:00 It just sounds like you have to give every kid a line, otherwise you hear from everyone's parents that their little Timmy didn't get a line. Not Linda's mum. She was stoked that Liz was the goat number three. Do you know pig number... She was not stoked. She was not stoked.
Starting point is 01:01:11 She had to buy me an all grey outfit and my best friend was Mary. It was horrible. The worst part about it is as a parent, you've got to sit through this hour and whatever of absolute horseshit to see your kid go, because if you don't, you're a bad parent. But you have to sit
Starting point is 01:01:25 through all the other junk to get it just give me that concentrated bah I would go home after my kid bah yeah dude that's like the
Starting point is 01:01:31 dance thing where they're like if your kid dances early you can't leave after that because you know there'll be gaps in the thing
Starting point is 01:01:36 and that makes the other dog I don't care yeah just leave I saw my kid I'm out Liz thank you
Starting point is 01:01:41 some messages in pig number 3 is messaged in I don't know if they knew Liz and goat number three. I don't know. But they said they were pig number three. And much like Liz, they oinked. Oinked?
Starting point is 01:01:52 Third. Oh, third. Okay, great. I played a giraffe in Noah's Ark. The paper mache neck snapped. And for the whole play, it was bent to one side, hanging by a thread. You killed a giraffe. You killed the only giraffe. Long was bent to one side, hanging by a thread. You killed a giraffe. You killed the only giraffe.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Long neck though. Yeah. I still remember the parents laughing at the deformed giraffe and hearing someone say, that giraffe would have been eaten. By the lions, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Yeah, by the lions. I was a tree in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Okay. By the chocolate river. By the chocolate river. By the chocolate river. Not sure if they were in or outside of the factory. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:27 God, a lot of people being trees. Yeah. I can't remember the name of the production, but I was train coach number four. You were a caboose. Very proud moment. They were not the caboose. That would have been the caboose.
Starting point is 01:02:40 That would have been the last train carriage. Okay. Yeah. A carriage. So they were a carriage. Yeah, right. Oh my god, did you see that one? Myself and three of my friends were cast as prostitutes in our school production
Starting point is 01:02:52 of Disco Inferno. I remember the teacher telling us she had the perfect part for us. At the time we thought it was funny, but now as an adult I can't believe she said that. Yeah. You can't say that to children. We did Bugsy Malone and my mate and I couldn't dance
Starting point is 01:03:06 and we couldn't sing so we got cast as boxers number 27 and 28. We're literally in the furthest corner of the stage just pretending to box. I love all of these.
Starting point is 01:03:18 I love these messages. It's so funny. I played the left wing of the Jabberwocky at Intermediate. Well, you're the left wing. Yeah. So the whole time you're the left wing. Yeah. So the whole time they're like,
Starting point is 01:03:25 you're a crucial wing. They, them, and, you know, like, equal rights and climate change. Oh, you're the left wing. Get it? Yeah, I do. Left wing. And the right wing's like,
Starting point is 01:03:34 oh, rich people prevail. Because for a moment there, I was like, do you even know what, yeah. I didn't know what the Jabberwocky was. I was like, I think I'm missing something here. It's good. It's pretty good. If I played the left wing,
Starting point is 01:03:44 I'd be like smoking a joint and I'd just be really... Yeah. Go hard left. Dress like Chloe Swarbrick. Yeah. Yeah. I played an emerald on the Wizard of Oz's gate.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Oh, yeah. What? That's a small part. You're a real inanimate object there. I'm the emerald on a gate. Wow. You've really got to include everybody, don't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Yeah. I wanted to be in the musical but there was no um room left any roles oh then i thought i'll be in the orchestra and they were like we don't really need anybody and then last minute they said you can play the triangle if you want and so i did and in the car on the way home my dad told me off accounting with my mouth oh for going one Just to get the timing right. Ding. And after that, I've never performed again. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Your dad crushed your dreams. He stifled you. Yeah. Dead stifle. Oh, dad. Yeah. I played a TV screen. That's good.
Starting point is 01:04:40 That's good stuff. That's good. I was the prompt. So there you go. I thought because I was good at reading, now realising it was because I was useless at acting. Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah. Thank you for your messages, Aiden. Hilarious. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's blood week. At Fact of the Day, we're learning facts about blood. How much blood does your heart pump in a lifetime?
Starting point is 01:05:22 Oh, liters? I went down a mathematical rabbit hole. Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna hit ya. I'm gonna hit ya. With each beat, the average heart pump
Starting point is 01:05:32 70 millilitres of blood. What about me? Because I've got a low resting heart rate. I've got a low heart rate. Yeah, yours is like, he's basically dead inside.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Yeah, you know every morning I wake up, my Apple Watch is like, did you die last night? You all right? We're surprised to see you. Your heart rate was like 30-something.
Starting point is 01:05:47 But it still must be pumping more. Mine's more just laid back. Less pumps, bigger pumps. Okay, yeah, maybe. Bigger heavy pumps. So it moves. I think I've got big heavy pumps. You've got big heavy pumps.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Five to seven litres of blood in a minute. So you think of like a milk bottle, a liter milk bottle. Yeah, five to seven of those a minute. That's insane. And over the course of a day, seven and a half thousand
Starting point is 01:06:11 liters of blood goes through the heart. No wonder on a movie when they cut the wrong thing in the operating room, it's like, it's like a garden hose just everywhere.
Starting point is 01:06:20 God, your poor heart's really working hard, isn't it? So then I Googled the life expectancy of a New Zealander. The average life expectancy of a New Zealander. The average life expectancy of a New Zealander is 83.16 years. What if you drink as much wine as Hayley?
Starting point is 01:06:32 Oh, no, there's the average for a reason. I want to live longer than that, though. Okay. Which I don't want to have to try. Well, average just means cruising. Yeah, right. So 83.16 years is 30 374 days yep how much 30 374 days that is if you have to make the most of every day that's like not a lot what are you doing with your life
Starting point is 01:07:00 today i'm talking to my friends in front of this metal thing. And then what, though? Are you making the most of the only days on earth you have? I'm going to go out for lunch. Okay. So then, the next stage of my calculations
Starting point is 01:07:16 was to time 7,600 litres, which is how much it gets pumped around a day. Are you sure someone hasn't already worked this out, man? No, it's good that he's doing his own research. They kind of have done that much. Oh, you're doing your own research? I know someone who loves to do his own research.
Starting point is 01:07:31 So 7,600 liters a day times by 30,374 days. Yep. Over the course of your lifetime, your heart will pump 230,843,844 liters of blood. And you might be thinking, Vaughan, that's a lot. I don't know how to compare to that.
Starting point is 01:07:49 It is over 92 Olympic swimming pools full of blood. Just within yourself. Within yourself. I would have been more impressed if you'd made that a lake in New Zealand. How much water's in Lake Topo? How many cubic metres is that? Oh, God, that's hard. And then cubic metres of water.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Yeah. But then sometimes it's lakes you don't know. They go down real deep. Like Topo, that goes down super deep. Real deep. I don't want to know how deep. Like real deep. I don't want to know.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I put it in another way. You could fill up 5,771,096 Suzuki Jimny fuel tanks. With the blood? Do you think it'll run? With your blood. What about if you're using a supermarket discount? A few cents off a litre. Three cents off a litre.
Starting point is 01:08:30 It would just be less money, but it would be the same litreage. Of course. Oh, you're dumb. Yeah, because you're dumb sometimes. You're such a dumb-dumb. And then I googled super tankers, you know, those massive ships that take fuel internationally. Yes. So they can carry over 300 million litres.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Can they? Yes. So you could fill up two thirds of a supertanker. With just the blood that you pump. Just the blood that you pump through your heart. I mean, that's the same blood over and over and over and over again. If you've had any kind of pump, a pool pump, a water pump, any kind of pumps, they shit, they don't last long.
Starting point is 01:09:03 They wear out. And yet ours will just mostly, some people get pacemakers, but most humans, they will just last your life. Isn't that insane? How do you get fresh bloods? You make it.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Where do you make it? In the blood factory. Your body makes blood. Where? It's inside somewhere. I'm panicking. We don't know, do we? We don't know where blood comes from.
Starting point is 01:09:24 You're overthinking it. I don't want my stale blood. Is it the same blood I've had the whole time? No, because it just generates new blood. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is soft, spongy material in the centre of the bones. It produces about 95% of the body's blood cells. Most of the adult's bone marrow is in the pelvic bones,
Starting point is 01:09:40 the breast bone and the bones of the spine. Well, I've got big breasts and quite a wide pelvis. I've got a lot of marrow. How does it get out of there? How does it get out? I don't know. I'm panicking. A lot of questions.
Starting point is 01:09:53 That's insane. So today's fact of the day is over the course of your lifetime, average lifespan of a New Zealander, 83 years, your heart will pump 230,843,844 litres of blood. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Christmas tree update. My goal for my first Christmas tree was to have it up on December 1st. Now, Vaughn, you were away last week for a bit, sick and on the Disney Cruise. I wasn't sick.
Starting point is 01:10:43 She was sick. I was sick, but I was here. We were all over the show last week. Then he was on the Disney Cruise. I wasn't sick. Oh, you were sick. I was sick, but I was here. We were all over the show last week. Then he was on the Disney Cruise, now he's sick. So you would have missed this whole Christmas tree saga. There was an ultimatum for it. Yeah. Do you know about this?
Starting point is 01:10:54 You know how there was the Thanksgiving sales on Black Friday, Cyber Monday and whatnot? Yeah, gotcha. And you know how I've been wanting to get a Christmas tree, and this year it's my first ever adult, my own Christmas tree, not my mum to get a Christmas tree. And this year it's my first ever like adult, my own Christmas tree, not my mum. My first Christmas tree. My first Christmas tree by Fisher and Paykel.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Price. Fisher price. Fisher and Paykel would be really high end Christmas tree. Yeah. Beep boop, beep boop. Well, Aaron gave me an ultimatum, if you remember, that I can buy this Christmas tree because it was 50% off. Also, by the way, it's like eight foot tall and $300.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Down from $600. $300 isn't too bad for an eight foot tree. Thank you, Vaughn. I can't believe I got the non-shopper on. Yeah, I know. You got it on more so quickly. But it was, it was 600 bucks. Half price on the Black Friday sales down.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Because I also know she's not going to go for a tacky or a thin. Fluffy is what I want. Fluffy, that's the word I'll go for. Fluffy is what I want. The photos look amazing. It's fluffy. It's fluffy. That's what I really wanted.
Starting point is 01:11:53 And I swore it was half price and I thought, I've got to get that. Literally during the same amount of time when me and Aaron have been having conversations about budget. Yeah. You know, you've got an end of the year, end of the reno. The government budget? No, no, no. No. Honestly. I know, you've got end of the year, end of the reno. The government budget? No, no, no. No.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Honestly. I dare not look at it. Your renovation budget. My renovation budget and things are tight. Yeah. So I didn't know really how to bring in
Starting point is 01:12:15 let's not forget the Christmas tree because I was looking at our budget and he's put in all the expenses and I was like missing the Christmas tree.
Starting point is 01:12:22 But do you need nails and glue and paint and stuff? Not really. Yeah, you do need those things for a house, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, but do you need nails and glue and paint and stuff? Not really. Yeah, you do need those things for a house, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, you do. And anyway, so his ultimatum to me, Vaughan,
Starting point is 01:12:30 was that I can buy the $300 Christmas tree after I've sold $300 worth of stuff we don't need anymore. I mean, I'd start in the backseat of your car. I'll tell you, there's designer goods in there. I don't know, I don't know. There's designer goods in there. There's a lot of stuff, but I don't know if any of it would. Born squeezing in your backseat of the car the other day
Starting point is 01:12:49 was great to watch. I think the words holy hell came out. Yeah. So that was the ultimatum, right? And I didn't, I haven't got round to it. And I was going to miss the sale. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:58 So you bought it anyway. I bought it anyway. Yeah. Of course you did. With the plan to hide it at Fletcher's. This is what I would have predicted was going to happen anyway.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Yeah. As a man that has previously put down an ultimatum and had it completely ignored. Yes. I was going to buy it.
Starting point is 01:13:12 I was going to sell $300 worth of stuff. Yep. I was going to buy it. I was going to hide it at Fletcher's and then sell the stuff and then be like,
Starting point is 01:13:19 voila, well I got it. And I got it half price because then I said to him, what would you want me to spend $600 on it? And he said, well maybe you have to sell $600 worth of half price because then I said to him, what would you want me to spend $600 on it? And he said, well, maybe you have to sell $600 worth of stuff. Yesterday, I said to him,
Starting point is 01:13:29 it's the last day of the sale. Yeah. Because I extended the sale. Wait, but you'd already bought it. Yeah. I said, we better get it now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Because you know I want to get one. And I said, can we buy it and then retrospectively I'll sell the stuff. Yeah. And he said, that's fine. So really, we've kind of come around. We're all on the same page again. You've been chipping them away.
Starting point is 01:13:53 I just did a little bit of gameplay. So I've been given permission to buy. Would you call that gameplay or manipulation? I would call it gaslighting, manipulate, gaslighting. Well, there's not gaslighting. No, because you've not tried to convince him. Of something that he has done. of something that he hasn't done. No, he has given me permission to buy the Christmas tree
Starting point is 01:14:11 that I've already bought. Yeah. Yes. So just to order the horse before the cart. Sort of posthumous permission. Posthumous permission. So now you've got to wait a couple of days before it gets delivered.
Starting point is 01:14:21 It's arrived. It's arrived. Oh, that was real quick delivery. Oh my God. I didn't know they did overnight. I didn't know they did like two minute delivery. So this weekend I get to put on my Christmas tree. And it's the 1st of December tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:14:34 So great timing for you. Pretty close to my goal. Social media will be unbearable for at least the next three days while everybody posts their Spotify rap. I feel like everyone does it to just be like, look how kooky I am. Yeah, or look how cool I am. Look how cool.
Starting point is 01:14:52 I'm listening to all the cool artists. You probably don't even know who they are. Totally. Every year, mine is almost the same because I listen to old music basically a lot. And so it doesn't often change. Whereas Vaughn, you appear to be a 20s woman. I do have children.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Oh, yeah, true. But they definitely use Sade's Spotify more than my Spotify. Yeah, right. Yeah, my top five songs. You're a Doja Cat. Doja Cat,ja Cat Love that song Definitely It was a great song
Starting point is 01:15:27 Number two is Metallica's Master of Puppets But that's because That's August's favourite song Because of Stranger Things Because of Stranger Things Yeah Flowers by Miley Cyrus
Starting point is 01:15:35 This is the one That I'm most confused about Semi Charmed Life By Third Eye Blind I mean absolutely I just don't Really remember Listening to that song
Starting point is 01:15:44 A lot this year. It must be your girls listening to it. Baby, baby, I want something else. You gotta let me do this. I'm going to find that song because I feel like we need that. Simmer, chum, can I live? And then Dog Days Are Over by Florence, which, again, I don't remember really listening to.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Sometimes I think Spotify raps a bit cooked. I feel like their top songs are cooked because sometimes mine, I'll play the same playlists over and over and then they're like, you listen to this? I'm like, yeah, in the background. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:16:12 But the artists are... Yeah! Great song. Great song. It's one of the year's number four song from 1997 as well. But my artists kind of don't match up because number one was Fleetwood Mac, which I do listen to a lot of Fleetwood Mac. I get in a Fleetwood Mac mood. Wow. But my artists kind of don't match up because number one was Fleetwood Mac,
Starting point is 01:16:26 which I do listen to a lot of Fleetwood Mac. I get in a Fleetwood Mac mood. Yep. Taylor Swift was two. That's why she sent me the personal message. Do you? No. Because I absolutely thrashed
Starting point is 01:16:37 Troye Sivan's album when it came out like a few months ago. Is that your number one? And his, no, not artist, but his video message looked like he was under duress. Oh, like he was? His, no, not artist, but his video message looked like he was under duress at gunpoint.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Hi, everyone. Hi, thanks for doing this. Like, yeah, it didn't look that personal. I had Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, and Matilda the musical. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Oh, great. Have you seen the Matilda movie? I've seen the musical live as well. The musical where Tim Minchin did the... I mean, it's phenomenal. Seeing that reminded me, I've got to watch it again. It's no third of mine. It's no third of mine.
Starting point is 01:17:10 I will give a shout out to my friend Morgan Penn, our friend Morgan Penn, and you, Hayley Jane Sproul, because my top podcast was Sex.Life. Do you know what's awesome? We found out yesterday... And Sproul, because my top podcast was Sex.Life. Do you know what's awesome? We found out yesterday. And Sproul, because my top podcast was Sex.Life.

Starting point is 01:17:56 I was on such a Metallica buzz this year. Their new album rolls. System of a Down is number two. Queen's number three. Those are always up near the top. Then it goes Elton John and the Bee Gees in fourth and fifth. Oh. So it took a bit of a turn.
Starting point is 01:18:08 My top artists are all like either concerts that I'm going to or gone to. Because we always do that and go to a concert. Number five was My Chemical Romance. So for the few months before that, I just had the playlist on all the time. Went nuts. Harry Styles, number four, because that was like after his show and before. Crazy. And my number one artist was Cub Sport which is an Australian band.
Starting point is 01:18:30 You do love that band. Well that's just my gym playlist. It's been on pretty much most of the year. I'll just have like 40 songs and it just rotates. Yeah, yeah, totally. Now remember when people share these on social media that's annoying but when people talk about it on the radio it's perfectly acceptable. Yes. Oh, of course it is. Because we're more important than a normal person.
Starting point is 01:18:46 It's the spoken word. Yeah, the spoken word. We've got a louder microphone. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. From here on out, if you post it on social media, it's annoying. It's annoying, but we have just talked about ours.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Yeah, but we're kind of getting in thirst, though, aren't we? Wait. I don't think so. This is a great bit of the song. How is this number four? I listen to 90s music a lot. Yeah. Have they done a road playlist?
