The Fleshborn and Hayley Big Pod.
Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Coming up on the show.
There is a couple that is being roasted online, newlywed.
And they have shared already, newlywed, the secret to a happy marriage.
Oh, okay.
They've got a few rules in place and they are not being received well.
Nexo, another good day for you yesterday.
Fantastic day for me yesterday.
It's actually happened twice this week.
Radiant.
You can't say I don't look radiant.
Well, let's get into this next.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
I got ID'd what was it
yesterday
the day before
yesterday
and it tickled me
and I was fresh
on the back of a facial
it's because you're so radiant
I know I'm so radiant
and then yesterday
radiance continues
popped into the liquor store again
and
again
this is the part
about telling everybody
you've been ID'd
two days in a row
it also tells everybody
you've bought booze two days in a row well to also tells everybody you've bought booze two days in a row.
Well, to be fair, yesterday I got beer Zs for the tradies.
Oh, okay.
Did I have a couple of those beer Zs?
Yes, I did.
That's only right.
You purchased them.
Yeah.
And I took these beer Zs up to the counter,
and the woman there was like, can I see your ID?
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.
Yeah.
Exercise down, down, down, down, down.
So, yeah.
And then to have it twice in a week.
So I put the beers down and she was like, oh, can I see your ID?
And I just laughed a little bit.
She was like, oh.
No, yeah.
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.
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.
Oh, she gave me a little congratulations.
She gave me a little congratulations for owning this face.
Yeah.
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?
Yeah, I did.
I said, thank you very much.
I said, thank you.
Thank you.
I was wondering how you reply to that.
Were you just on a high for the rest of the day?
Absolutely.
Yeah. Okay. And then even this morning, I went home thank you. Thank you. That's why I was wondering how you reply to that. We just on a high for the rest of the day? Absolutely. Yeah.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
It's a good face.
It's got eyes.
It's got eyes.
Okay, that's enough compliments. I don't want to get cancelled for saying if you don't have eyes, it's not a good face. It's got eyes. It's got eyes. Okay, that's enough compliments.
I don't want to get cancelled for saying if you don't have eyes, it's not a good face.
I'm just describing the face I see in front of me.
Oh, you're done, mate.
It came out.
Well, had a good run.
Had a good run.
Had a good run.
Next on the show.
Good morning to our eyeless listeners as well.
Absolutely, please.
Next on the show, a couple got married and pretty quickly have given some tips to a happy marriage.
Happy marriage.
Some rules that they follow.
They've been roasted online.
Sure have.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
There are some newlyweds, Jaden and Andy, and they look young, I'll say it.
They look like early 20s-ish.
Yep.
But I have no confirmation
This guy and a girl
Guy and a girl
She might have just got a facial
They might have both
Just got facials
She's probably in her 30s like me
So they're probably in their 30s like you
But no one can believe it
Can you stop encouraging her
There's actually quite a few of us
Out there that are just deceptively
I mean your wife's one of them as well
Yeah
You just look at her
And you're like
I wished somebody
A happy birthday yesterday
That I assumed we were the same age
But I was also being generous to myself because I look older than her.
And it turns out she's 48.
Yeah.
And I was like.
Okay.
Okay.
What's your secret?
Yeah.
What are you doing there?
Facials.
Now, so they got married, right?
And it just like very quickly started a little like TikTok account together.
And. Oh my God. It's. Yeah. right and it just like very quickly started a little like tiktok account together and um it's yeah like you know when you see couples on social media and the instagram account it's like
emma and emma and steve and then the last name is and steve yeah and you're like okay okay so steve
played up once on instagram 100 like some hot photos, and now he's not allowed on Instagram.
Yeah.
Is that how it is?
That's how it is.
Yep.
And Emma is running that for them.
Yep.
So they, yeah, they said this TikTok
to sort of share life and little like tips
on a happy marriage and whatnot.
They shared one recently that's gone viral
because they shared the three rules
that they abide by in order to have a successful marriage.
Here they are.
Vaughn, how many years have you been married?
12, 13.
Didn't you literally just celebrate 13?
Yeah, but I got confused between marriage
and how long we've been together.
And your other wife, which was that's newer, eh?
That's much newer.
Yeah.
Well, maybe you can agree or disagree with these.
Okay, have my will.
Yeah, we'll see.
I'll give you some rules to a happy marriage
because I know yours is really on the rocks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's touching us.
So it's because she's been looking so radiant recently
and you've been,
you look like a 50-year-old man.
Yeah, yeah.
In your early 40s.
Yeah.
Firstly, they have promised to share their location
with each other on Life360,
which is a family tracking app.
That's like the Apple version is Find My Friends.
Yeah.
So at all times, they know where the other person is.
Okay.
Me and Aaron don't have this.
Do you and Shanna?
You're on Find Friends, eh?
Yeah, we're on Find Friends.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
I thought,
well,
you said celebrate
and I just started clapping
and then Bourne,
you were cheering?
No,
I didn't cheer.
You heard me.
I said,
oh,
that's terrible.
He is upset.
He's upset
in solidarity
with his wife.
I'm an ally.
My Spotify rap,
my top five
artists are all female.
Yeah,
wow.
Well,
one's Fleetwood Mac, but two females.
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.
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
it rolls around
and it changes
because you know
fluctuating
general
cell
something else
what
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
You're on your own, mate.
You're on your own.
Great.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. I'm out actually for the rest of the year as well. Yeah. You're on your own, mate. You're on your own. Great. Hello.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
she's my Vin Diesel
I'm Michelle Rodriguez
oh you are
yeah you're more
Michelle Rodriguez
100%
yeah
thank you for that
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
The toy museum in Wanaka?
Yeah, one of those museums.
Wellington Live have said that their Twilight Christmas Parade has happened.
It's ready to go.
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,
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.
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.
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
from Christmas
and with all that in mind.
Dust off the vocal cords, Mariah.
Right now,
Christmas penetration is at...
100%.
We're there.

Look at him.
Producer Jared, you're ready to be a dad.
Yeah, I'm definitely not a rich daddy.
How many?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
You could be like Kris Jenner off the Kardashians, Mr Fletcher.
And manage us all and take a cut.
And make money out of all of you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've seen our talent.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yeah.

I think my balls have dropped.
I am boobie.
Not in front of Bob.
I'm only a boobie. I finally have urban age.
Oh, no, brother.
Give us a hug, Mr Fletcher.
Give us a hug, Mr Fletcher.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
I need a five minute cuddle.
That's so weird.
Standing.
Yeah,
standing.
That's so weird.
No,
not lying.
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.
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.
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.
You grab them.
Absolutely.
What if they've been with Al-Qaeda?
Longer or shorter?
Shorter.
Same length.
Same length. Same length.
Same length.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
For that hot ass
Give me a handful
Of that cake
My friend just died
Uh huh
Auga
Auga
Giggity giggity
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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? We don't want to hear
if you were the main or the lead
we want to hear if you were a tree. We want to talk about
your orphan 27
in Oliver Twist
0800 DALS at M is the number
give us a call you can text through 9696
the shitty part you played in the school
production
Right now we're talking about the worst The shitty part you played in the school production. Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Right now we're talking about the worst part,
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
and that makes
the other dog
I don't care
yeah
just leave
I saw my kid
I'm out
Liz thank you
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
Your dad crushed your dreams.
He stifled you.
Yeah.
Dead stifle.
Oh, dad.
Yeah.
I played a TV screen.
That's good.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
Yeah.
As a man that has
previously put down
an ultimatum
and had it completely
ignored.
Yes.
I was going to buy it.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you know what's awesome?
We found out yesterday.
We're talking Spotify wrapped.
I listen on iHeartRadio.
She's a company gal.
She is a company gal.
But yesterday we found out, me and Morgan,
we're the number one new podcast in New Zealand on Apple Podcasts.
Number one for new podcasts.
That's so good.
My top songs are wild.
I think they're all,
Islands in the Stream is in there,
Kenny and Dolly.
Why wouldn't it be?
Sledgehammer is in there as well.
But my top artists are Metallica is number one.
And I just,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Have they done 60 songs that explain the 90s?
Has this been white?
No, they did 3am.
George, is your Spotify just all country and western?
Yeah, she showed me before.
It is.
Yee-haw.
Yeah.
Yee-haw.
It's got a big yee-haw.
I'm from the southern south.
Well, what's she got?
She's showing it up to the window.
She's holding it up to the studio.
It's yee-haw.
I've got it's Morgan Wallen.
Of course it is.
And second is Luke Kimes.
Of course it is.
Although I'm in my country era now because I'm watching Yellowstone.
And who's that guy that I like?
He's a singer too.
Yeah, he's my favourite in that show.
Casey.
I just finished season one yesterday.
Well done.
You've got four more.
Yeah.
I counted 79 all rights today.
Fletcher, but that's a new personal record.
Oh, f*** off.
How many of those did you count?
79 of those too.
Alright, well if you enjoyed today's podcast,
give us a rate and review. Oh, yeah. 79 of those, too. All right. Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review.
Or f*** off.
