The Fletchbourne and Hayley Big Pod.
Thanks to McCafe.
Great things are brewing, one cup at a time.
Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletchbourne and Hayley.
It's two minutes past six.
Good morning.
Very dim studio lights this morning.
I'm not, I don't like it.
I thought you were going to say dim sum and I got excited for dim sum.
Oh, can we go?
A very dim sum day.
It is a dim sum day. It feels like a dim sum day. It is a dim sum day.
It feels like a dim sum day.
It feels like a...
Yeah.
I've just got a headache.
Right, so lights are low this morning.
Lights are low.
I've just got a sort of like surrounding headache
and a kind of clogged allergy-ness.
Yeah.
It's not COVID?
I don't know.
Nah, it's not COVID.
It's just a headache.
Is it a wine thing?
No, I only had a couple of wines last night.
Okay.
Last night got away on me.
Hear that?
Yeah.
That's a Wednesday that got away on a guy.
Yeah, wow.
You guys live a wild life.
I never drink during the week.
Well, should we talk about Wild Wednesday, shall we?
Shall we do it?
For a start, sir, that is rich coming from you, sir.
Sir, that is rich coming from you.
That shall not be spoken.
How dare you say we live a wild life.
What stays in the group chat, what happens in the group chat stays in the group chat.
It is all of a sudden.
It's gone very hot in here.
Happy Star Wars Day.
Is it Star?
It is.
It's made the war. It's Star Wars very hot in here. Happy Star Wars Day. Is it Star? It is. It's May the 4th.
It's Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Day.
Coming up on the show.
Happy Obi-Wan Kenobi to you, sir.
A mini Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Is that what you say?
A mini Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Happy Yoda's.
Chewbacca be ever with you.
And also with you, sir. Now, if that wasn't be ever with you. Yes, yes, yes.
Now, if that wasn't
nerd enough for you, Vaughn, today,
on the show, after 8 o'clock,
a couple of special guests. James Gunn,
Chris Pratt from Guardians of the Galaxy.
The final Guardians, as
directed, written, and
lovingly crafted by James Gunn
is out today. Volume 3.
Volume 3. Volume 3.
And we're going to be talking to them about it. I'm very excited.
This is exciting.
After 8 o'clock.
Also, our Guardians of the Galaxy
mixtape before 7.30.
Yesterday was hard.
Yeah, it was.
We've got five songs mashed up.
You've got to identify as many as you can.
Every song you identify, $50 cash.
Well, we gave away $150 yesterday.
$150 yesterday, but we spoon fed her.
We did.
So there may be...
She opened her mouth and we put the spoon in.
We made airplane noises.
Quarter past seven if you want to win
with Guardians of the Galaxy mixtape.
Coming up on the show, we've got the top six.
Next though.
How much the New Zealand Transport Authority, NZTA,
values your life at?
Spoiler alert, we're all
valued the same. They put it
like an actual dollar amount. So this is
how they decide.
It's kind of crazy.
I wish I could remember. We learned about it in
economics at school, how much
the transport agency at that
time in the 90s valued their life at, and it was
not this much. But it's basically
if they're going to change a road because they're like 10 people have died yeah estimates are that in the next 10 years 10
people will die on this road so do we change it and then they put a value on those lives
i know that's grim and if the road's gonna cost more than the estimated deaths they're like leave
it that's that's that's the black and white of it there's a lot more to it but that's basically why more than the estimated deaths, they're like, leave it. Oh my god!
That's the black and white of it. There's a lot more to it,
but that's basically why the New Zealand
NZTA puts a value on your life,
and I'll tell you what it is next.
It's Lewis Capaldi. Wish you the best.
If you missed our chat with him yesterday,
listen to the podcast. He opens up, doesn't he?
Oh, he truly does.
I'm such a big fan of his.
You can also read all about it at nzherald.co.nz.
I believe they're running an article.
Are they?
I don't know if they are yet.
Are they not?
Did you come to work today and decide to be a little shit?
I woke up and I was like, today's the day I end the world.
I'm running a ruckus.
Yeah.
Today's the day we didn't see it coming, but I was the villain all along.
I'm going to travel with the shitbags. Yeah, you do.
We're going to a wedding.
Oh, you're off to a wedding together?
Wedding tomorrow, yeah.
Cute, we're getting married.
You were trying to figure out if this was the kind of wedding that was going to have
spirits at the bar.
Spirits at the bar?
He said, well, literally was like, man, I drank too much last night.
Would you hear me, spirits at this bar?
Well, there's nothing worse than wine all night.
Oh, I can't.
Because I can't drink white wine all day.
I can have one.
I can do a Prosecco, a couple of bubbles,
and then they just send me loop-de-doo,
and I can't spend the rest of the night on red wine.
I'll get a purple tongue.
Those are going to be a ripping headache the next day.
Now, the government
Yep
No one's given the N in government enough
So I would like to say that
I love hitting the N
They're not the government
It's not G-O-V-A-M-E-N-T
Government
How do the British say it?
Government
Government
Government
Government
Government
Government
Government
They say government.
The New Zealand Transport Agency, they look after the roads and stuff.
Yeah.
They have to work out how much value is placed on a human life
before they warrant fixing a road that will cost a human life.
Like, isn't this what, I mean, this is just a fact of life.
It's what happens, isn't it?
Totally.
We're just flesh and bone, you know?
So, they have been looking into a roundabout.
That was, by the way, a microphone they dragged.
Not a big, rumbly fart.
Can we just clarify?
I dragged my microphone and it made a farting noise.
Not a big, rumbly fart.
The Royal Roundabout, which is nuts.
Oh, that one's wild.
It's got five ins and outs.
Yep.
And three of them are, like, they were all kind of pushed more to one side because there's a big outs. Yep. And three of them are like,
they were all kind of pushed more to one side
because there's a big fat.
Yeah.
And then there are some lanes that turn off
and then the middle lanes only if you're turning.
There's two in, one out.
That one's wild, eh?
It's a terribly designed roundabout.
So they're thinking of redoing it.
It's almost like that one in France
with the Arc de Triomphe in the middle of it.
Oui, oui.
It's like this one.
It's very similar. Probably got some weeds in a lamppost. It does, yeah. that one in france with the arc de triumph in the middle of it we we it's like this one yeah
we've got some weeds in a lamppost it does yeah yeah yeah they do their best the council to keep
the roundabouts looking good but the weeds get away on them in the spring concrete the whole
lot yeah that's too much people have people died at that round they had yeah cyclist oh this is
kind of the main this young fellow was riding his bike down there. Terrible, like terribly horrible
situation. But when they are
looking to change
roads,
and this is around the entire
country, they'll change a stretch of road.
They've got to, one of the things is
putting a value on the human lives that could be lost on that
piece of road if they don't change it. So if there's
a bend in the road, and in the last couple
of years, two people have died on it, and everyone's like, we've there's like a bend in the road, and in the last couple of years two people have died on it,
and everyone's like, we've got to change this bend in the road.
They put a value on the two lives lost.
They're like, well, in the next 10 years,
five people might die there.
And what does that cost?
And what does that cost?
The value of a statistical life is what it's called.
But we're not statistical.
So this is the craziest part
It has gone from
In 2020
The start of 2020
January 1st 2020
The value of a statistical life
In New Zealand was 4.4 million dollars
Now something's happened
Because over the last three years
We're now worth 12.5 million dollars
Oh just like
Broccoli We are broccoli We're everything at the supermarket Because over the last three years, we're now worth $12.5 million. Oh, just like broccoli.
Yeah.
We are broccoli.
Wow.
We're everything at the supermarket.
How did we in three years become three times more valuable?
Because of the shipping costs from China.
Yeah, true.
I cost a lot.
You cost a lot to ship.
Heavy and tall.
We've blown past the UK and Australia
wait
there
there are statistical
yeah
the value
we're way better than them
we're way better than them
so what do you think
the
value of a statistical life
is in the UK
wait can I ask a question
before we
go through this
I might have the answer
but I'll do my best
is it different
if you're like 70
no
because you're about to die anyway, right?
It's the average statistical life.
I remember learning about this at school.
Okay.
In economics.
Oh, my God.
So I'm probably like 20, 25.
Yeah, but they can't say if they knew that you were going to die on that road.
But they can't.
They can't guarantee it's going to be you.
Yeah.
In your younger years, you loved a ciggy and you drank a lot.
Oh, yeah, that would have lost a bit.
That's going to take a bit more off as well.
That's not what they value it at.
It's what the average person will contribute to society.
$12.5 million, they'll be lucky.
Yeah, I know, very lucky.
I'm dodging tax like Neo in The Matrix.
But it's everything.
It's like everything.
And like how much you're fat.
There's a whole lot of facts.
And this would be hard to hear if you have lost somebody.
Absolutely.
In an accident.
Because no amount of money.
No amount of money is.
But they have to put a dollar value on it.
So the mean one is $12.5 million.
And how does that compare to around the world?
Well, I said we blew past the UK and Australia.
So currently in the UK, the value of a statistical life is $4.5 million New Zealand dollars.
We are so much better, aren't we?
Australia, $5.4 million.
Why are we so expensive?
We're up here at $12.5.
Is it who's above us?
The US.
Oh, whatever.
Rate yourself.
Rate yourself.
18.6 million.
Oh, rate yourself.
Of course they do.
Rate yourself.
Calm down.
There's so many of them, too.
But they're kind of.
They wrote the rules.
They can't get in shot, though.
They can't get in shot.
They wrote the rules on capitalism, too.
So I feel like they've definitely sort of skewed the game in their favour.
Does it have any countries on the list that are like real low?
No, it's just quite about...
In the hundreds!
450.
450.
It's wild, isn't it?
No, no, no.
450.
I can't even believe they're talking about this.
Like, it's so grim.
It is grim.
It is grim.
I remember, yeah, when we learned about economics in high school. This is the first I've ever talking about this. Like, it's so grim. It is grim. It is grim. I remember, yeah, when we
learned about economics in high school.
This is the first I've ever heard of this.
Yeah. And the
teacher was like,
because we asked the same thing,
surely some people are worth more than others. And they're like, yeah,
but they can't guarantee that that person
is going to be the one that dies on that
road. So you've got to kind of take the average
value of life. Yeah, it's pretty grim. the one that dies on that road. So you've got to kind of take the average value of life.
Yeah, it's pretty grim.
Who gets the 12 and a half when you do?
Yeah, I was like, Aaron, get that if I die.
Sharnay's going to drown me in a bath.
Yeah.
Because our life insurance is not $12.5 million.
No.
Nothing near it.
Next on the show from the AI files, it's more bad news. Aye, aye, aye. No. Nothing near it. Next on the show from the AI files, it's more
bad news. Aye, aye, aye.
Unless. Unless. You're looking to change up
your church. Oh, yeah. Could be great
news. Play ZM's Fletch
Vaughan and Hayley. Um, I
feel like every time we talk about AI, and I
feel like every time I say this, it's never good news.
Never. The godfather
of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, has
quit Google and has warned of the dangers
Of misinformation
And AI
I think we just pull the plug
On all of it
Because this story's wild
ChatGTP
Could create a new religion
So a historian's saying
That the world is on the verge
Of a contemporary
Every religion's been created
At some stage Might as well give the computers a go But he's saying That it is on the verge of a contemporary... Every religion is being created at some stage.
Might as well give the computers a go.
But he's saying that it's on the verge of a faith
started by AI writing its own sacred texts.
Wow.
Using all of it that it's learned from history and religion.
Wow.
I wonder what kind of God it would follow.
What kind of story.
Or it would just probably be a Dell laptop or something.
Yeah, yeah.
That we all worship or a computer screen.
It's just, I know what you mean.
It's like, it's too much.
Yeah, like, let's just calm down.
Because people, like, this will happen.
They'll do it and they'll create a fantastical story
and then people will follow it.
And then it's like, what even is religion anymore?
You know, it's sort of like a little.
Will it take our money?
Yeah.
AI religion?
We'll have to give it some.
But then what's it going to do with it?
Store it.
I can't wait to see.
Store it in the cloud.
Bitcoin.
Bitcoin.
It'll take our Bitcoin.
I think we're still Bitcoining.
Well, I mean.
Yeah.
I don't know why after the last three months or six months of cryptocurrency.
Sorry, I'm flip-flopping, but I've never found a religion.
Full stop.
I've never found a religion.
No.
But sometimes you look at ones and you're like, oh, yeah.
Maybe your religion's wine.
I pray to the gods.
I like the Romans and the Greeks because there wasn't one god.
What? What? Yeah. What?
What is what?
What?
What?
Why did he like?
The Romans or the Greeks.
No, I didn't say anything.
You said something under your breath.
No, I didn't.
Did he?
Okay, so the Romans.
We'll talk about this later because this feels like.
Oh, yeah.
What?
No, I can't say it on air. The Romans or the Greeks or the Egyptians. Yeah. They had like Oh yeah. What? No, I can't say it on here.
So the Romans and the Greeks or the Egyptians,
they had like multiple gods.
Yes.
So they were like, they had gods of wine.
And partners.
And partners.
Lots of it.
So it was all going on.
They could pick and choose, couldn't they?
They'd be like, that one's, oh no,
I think they just all worked in conjunction.
Well, let's just pull the plug.
I want one that's like, doesn't want anything from me.
Yeah, let's just.
Like, doesn't want my money or time.
Right.
But is just like, if there was something at the end, I got it.
Well, like a cash prize.
Like, if there was a heaven of sorts, I got it.
But without having to be like the good person and go to church and stuff and like pay money.
Right, okay.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, what's that one?
What's that? Is there anything? It's just living. I think that's living. It's just living like, pay money. Right, okay. Do you know what I mean? Like, what's that one? What's that?
Is there anything?
I think that's just living.
I think that's living, yeah.
That's just living, baby.
We're living, baby.
Let's pull the plug on the AI.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley
Silly little poe

It is so silly, silly, silly
That the silly little poe
Silly little poe Silly little poe Silly little poe It is so silly, silly, silly that silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Silly little pole today.
Silly little pole.
What is your ideal holiday accommodation?
Is it like a tent?
Is it like a hotel?
Is it Airbnb?
Hotel and Airbnb, it depends.
Yeah, it does depend.
I could do all three.
I could love all three.
It depends where you are.
Like if you're in Europe, for example, an Airbnb is so fun, you know,
and you're like, oh, it's so cute and whatnot.
It is, but then also like if you go into a lot of like places,
sometimes it's easy with a hotel because there's always reception open.
You don't need to be messaging some owner.
Yep.
I was talking about this.
Meeting them.
Sheets.
When you shit the bed.
When you shit the bed, they can come and change it.
The cleaning fees.
Yeah.
We talked about this last night.
I was with a bunch of comedians, and we were saying,
what is it about a hotel room that you walk and you close the door
and the pants have to come off?
You kick everything off.
Kick it all off. Pants off.
But then an Airbnb is good if
you're doing like a few weeks travelling to
get your washing done.
Do a bit of cooking. Have some vegetables for God's sake.
But then if you go away with a group of friends
someone always has to have the fold out couch
and they're horribly uncomfortable.
They truly are. Well, that's always you
because you don't have a partner.
Yeah.
You know, and it's just easier.
If we were all going away together.
Why shouldn't you have,
you and Aaron have the fold-out bed,
I can have the king.
Because he's massive.
Yeah, but there's two of us.
We can't put that boy on a fold-out bed.
No.
Yeah, he's too tall for a fold-out bed.
That's one of the best things about being with Aaron
is whenever we're travelling with people,
we always get the best bed search.
Because he's so big
and he's got a bad back.
There's always a best bed
at the Airbnb.
Yeah.
It's never even.
That's why I don't like them.
you get a better bed.
We did the old
switcher changer.
No.
What?
He's just one person.
Percentage wise
hotel cleaned up.
Wow.
62% of people
would like to stay
in a hotel.
33% in Airbnb.
10, 5%.
Yeah.
Also, having just booked a whole lot of stuff recently,
Airbnbs are just as expensive as hotels
and you don't have to pay the cleaning fee.
You don't have to go through their list of BS
before you check out.
Airbnbs, if you're there for a few days
and there's a pool.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know, if you're in Airbnb with a pool,
you're like, this is awesome.
Don't take things from Airbnbs. Shade yeah, yeah. You know, if you're in Airbnb with a pool, you're like, this is awesome. Don't take things from Airbnb.
Sade, my wife's mother, recently, she's got a couple of accommodation things.
People take things?
Dude.
Like what?
It's real, like, eclectic.
And there's, like, bits and pieces.
But, like, they've got an old typewriter and it had this, like, poem typed on it.
Someone was just like, I'll take that.
And just, like, anything.
What?
There's these little glass beads that are decorative in this vase.
And she said someone's just taken a handful of them.
Oh, my God.
Anything that's not tied down.
Well, she doesn't know to whom.
Oh, my God.
Because there's like three guests.
People are feral.
People are just terrible.
People are.
Stop stealing shit.
Don't steal from Airbnbs.
That's obviously a decoration.
Some feedback. Connor said Airbnb, but only when the owner doesn't live there,bnbs. That's obviously a declaration. Some feedback.
Connor said,
Airbnb, but only when the owner doesn't live there too.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Always check that if you're getting an Airbnb.
Entire place.
Oh, entire place.
Entire place.
Yep.
Dan says,
because hotel sex is the best.
All of the fun, none of the clean up.
Oh, my goodness.
I mean, he said what we were all saying.
I mean, we've all seen housekeeping with those giant rubber gloves.
And they're just like...
I tell you what...
And they're knocking, they go like this, they go,
housekeeping!
And you're like, no, no!
And they're like, ah, please don't make me come back.
Hayley's already taken her sheets off the bed
and just left them on a pile on the floor.
Yeah, don't touch that.
Which is code for put these straight in
and don't look.
Do not unfold.
Save yourself.
A little post-it note
for the burner.
Yeah.
I think that rule applies as well
if you're with a partner
or if you're by yourself.
Sure.
In a hotel.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's rude not to.
That's all I'll say.
Erin said,
I prefer to cook my own brekkie
so anything with a kitchen
is stellar.
Sounds more of an Airbnb. I would always go
someone cooking me breakfast over
cooking my own breakfast. Anytime.
Airbnb for longest
day, says Hannah. Hotels usually don't have
kitchens and I don't want to buy takeaways and eat out
for every meal. Why not? Guys can usually get
more for less. What's wrong with you? Why not?
Yeah.
Well, sometimes you get the little kitchenette in the hotel
with a microwave. That's pathetic. Yeah,
you can't do a lot of cooking. You can't do
jack. And a jug
with a horrendous amount of lime scale
in the bottom. Oh, yes. You're like,
god damn, clean this jug. It's because people
before you were boiling their undies. Oh, yeah,
don't do that. Catherine
says, tent, if I didn't
have to put it up or take it down, I love the wholesomeness of
camping. Yeah, the packing up, the putting it down,
that's a bit on the bum. Kat,
I said tent, it's an unpopular opinion, but a
camping holiday is my favourite. How about the
families that always loved a camping holiday and they'd go to
Ohope Beach and
it would just rain the entire time they were
there and everything would be wet and then they'd
have to come home and put their tent up in their garage to get it to dry
out and you say, how was family holding they're like loved it yeah
and i'm just like cannot relate eight kids oh my god eight kids they're all sleeping on the ground
and the kids how was it how was it kids oh we loved it how how do you love that how people
are in situations than you horrible yeah mum's like we're doing a barbecue again We're going to have it with those people in the caravan next tour.
We like them.
I wish they'd leave us alone.
Amy says, budget says tent, but heart says hotel.
And finally, Charlotte, love a fancy expensive hotel.
I like to be weighted on hand and foot.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
Is that the right saying?
Weighted on hand and foot? Weighted on hand and foot?
Yeah.
Weighted on hand and foot?
Yeah.
It just makes me think of foot and mouth disease.
No, weighted on hand and foot.
Yeah, it is, but it feels wrong.
Oh, my God.
I'm just on Airbnb just because I love looking on the main page
where they put like the quirky ones.
Here's one because you guys are off to Wanaka.
Here is one from Wanaka.
$5,000 a night.
Jeez. Jeez.
Like.
The view of the lake.
Please, Daddy.
Can we stay there, Daddy?
Please, Daddy.
I want a numpa-lumpa.
I'll be good boy, Daddy.
Yeah, no, we're just in a motel.
Hotel, motel, apartment, hotel.
Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn.
Yeah, hotel. Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn. Yeah, basically.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM.
The Writers Guild of America are on strike.
They last went on strike at the very end of 2007,
which greatly affected our 2008 season of television.
I remember this. Have they not striked since then?
I think there was a...
Striked?
Struck.
Struck.
I think they were about to, were they?
Because I remember the SNL writers all kind of banding together for something.
Yeah, but it wasn't like this kind of pens down, walk out,
kind of pick at the streets kind of level.
And you might think, well, this doesn't affect me,
but we were reminiscing about this.
Here we go, yeah.
2007.
Because I remember I was in,
it was my first time ever in New York,
and all the Broadway shows were shut as well.
That's right.
I was like, what?
You can't go see a show?
You couldn't even see like a taping of a TV show.
No, nothing.
It was all stopped.
All the late night shows were affected.
The Colbert Report was on at the time.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show.
Conan O'Brien.
David Letterman.
Bill Mayer.
Saturday Night Live.
Jay Leno.
They were all just like,
they just went to reruns.
I wanted to see a Jon Stewart Daily Show taping.
And I was just gutted
because I was right in the middle of the strike.
Yeah.
There were shows that were drastically reduced in season length.
Like if you were ever binging a really old show and you get to a season and you're like,
why are there only 10 episodes?
There's normally like 20 in each season.
It's because that's the year of the writer's strike.
Yeah, there's always like 10 and you're like, huh, what's that about?
So Breaking Bad was one of them.
Yes. In fact, in this Wikipedia article I about? So Breaking Bad was one of them. Yes.
In fact, in this Wikipedia article I'm reading, Breaking Bad was supposed to have more episodes.
Hank, played by Dean Norris, the ball guy that was the cop, was supposed to be killed off at the end of season one,
but his character was spared since the episodes weren't written due to the strike.
I'm glad he wasn't killed off. He ended up right to the end.
Changed it, yeah.
30 Rock was affected.
Big Bang Theory had drastically reduced episodes.
CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York,
Desperate Housewives, Family Guy.
What else was in here?
Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy.
Heroes was a TV show that was doing so well
with its audience.
Yeah.
And then the writer's strike hit
and it just stumbled and never regained
and got cancelled pretty soon after.
Yeah.
How's How I Met Your Mother, like Lost.
Remember Lost got affected?
Yes.
Two episodes were lost to the strike.
And then they made up with them by making season five and six longer.
So what do the writers want?
What is their thing?
So what I saw was they want,
because like the terms that they write under are old school,
they don't reflect streaming.
So a lot of their stuff is being just chucked on all these platforms.
And they get nothing.
And I don't think they get as much for it, which is totally fair.
Yeah, this distribution world, yeah, they're getting screwed out of.
And I mean, we have nothing without them.
They are the shows, right? They are the creativity. Yeah, they're getting screwed out of it. And, I mean, we have nothing without them. They are the shows, right?
They are the creativity.
Yeah.
They write them.
That's why they're called writers.
So is it kind of like an end in sight?
I don't know if there is.
Because that doesn't seem like it.
2007 one, does it say how long that went on for?
It was like months.
Months, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah, because then they just took off Christmas and stuff.
There's already, they're saying that like Saturday Night Live have not made a decision,
but they might pull, like they'll have to go off.
Because they're all about the writers.
Because they're all about the writers.
Yeah.
Because they run, oh no, they must be about to end because they take a break over their summer.
So they must be getting near the end of their season anyway.
And then they come back.
Crazy. Yeah, in our spring. But anyway. And then they come back. Crazy.
Yeah, in our spring.
But yeah.
Give them what they want.
Every show was affected.
Shows that were, so those were just the shows that were shortened, but shows were postponed.
You know what's going to happen?
Oh, some were cancelled.
It's going to be like Jan next year.
We're going to be like scrolling through Netflix.
Like, you know when it takes you like 20 minutes to find a show?
Yeah.
Or something to watch.
It'll take you 40.
Do you know why?
Because there'll be no episodes.
I've gone back to a show that I always thought I should have watched
but never watched, and I've started watching Sons of Anarchy.
Oh.
I watched the first couple of seasons.
It's really good.
Started in 2008.
Charlie Hunnam.
Charlie Hunnam's hot.
Hot, but not a great actor.
No, he's not a great actor. He's not a great actor. Great to look at, but Not a great actor No he's not a great actor
He's not a great actor
Great to look at
But not a
Stunning
You can't have it all you know
Let's give props for
A show that we've just
Finished watching
What?
Shrinking
Oh Shrinking
Oh my god
What a great show
Dude it rules
I'm too absent
Oh my god
It's kind of made by
There's a few people
That also worked on
Ted Lasso
Yeah
Lasso
It's on Apple Plus Apple TV And it's a few people that also worked on Ted Lasso. Yeah. Lasso. Lasso.
It's on Apple Plus, Apple TV.
And it's Jason Segel, who I love, who is an absolute treasure.
He's my favourite Segel.
More than Steven?
More than Steven.
Was it the sex trafficking that put you off, Steven? It was a little bit, yeah.
A little bit of the sex trafficking.
What about beach seagulls?
I hate them.
Can't stand them.
Okay, you're right.
Jason, my buddy, Jason's exclusive.
He does stand on one leg, though,
and kind of looks like he wants a chip.
Yeah, a little bit sometimes.
He's in the show.
He's a therapist
whose wife has passed away in a car accident.
Spoiler alert.
He's raising a teenage girl.
This is opening scenes.
You'll read the synopsis.
It'll tell you.
He's raising a teenage daughter.
Harrison Ford's in it?
Harrison Ford's like his boss, mentor, fellow therapist.
Who's brilliant.
Harrison Ford is so good in it.
Jessica Williams, who used to be on The Daily Show.
And she was in Booksmart.
She was the teacher in Booksmart.
She's brilliant.
The lady who lives next door, you'll be like,
where do I know her from?
She is from The Drew Carey Show.
And Scrubs.
She was the mean lady who show and Scrubs Scrubs she was the mean lady
who ran the hospital
in Scrubs
she did with CSI as well
I feel like she did
one of those shows
she's brilliant
she was so funny in Scrubs
yeah
she's very funny on the show
it's such a good show
and her husband is
the guy of Meredith Children
who was the neighbour's
husband of Meredith Children
that's right
you know how people are like
saying with the cost of living
like people are
cutting subscriptions and stuff
we were talking about this this morning.
Got to go through them.
Don't get rid of Apple TV.
There's some good stuff on there.
Yeah, so shrinking is if you need a good show,
that's 100% recommend.
Apple TV, yeah.
Play.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the bustling ZM think tank,
this is the top six.
This guy blows my mind.
I also know someone with the same name.
So isn't it funny when you see someone
with the exact same name doing something
and you're like, it can't be them.
That's not you.
Not the one I know.
They weren't this much of an achiever.
Not the one I know.
No, no, this guy,
the guy, Jono Riddler's the Kiwi.
And when I saw it, I was like, that's not like a super common name.
That's not like a Philip Smith or a Tom Jones.
I know a Tom Jones.
Is it Welsh superstar Tom Jones?
Do you know the same Tom Jones as me?
We know the same Tom Jones.
Yeah.
Wow.
He has set a new record for New Zealand's ultra distance marathon swims,
more than 33 hours in the water.
He set off from Aotea Great Barrier at 10 a.m. on Tuesday,
and he landed at Campbell's Bay.
Very expensive.
Campbell's Bay, the North Shore, on Wednesday night.
He swam more than 80.8 kilometers, needed to break the record.
Oh, my God.
Because the weather went all titty, and he was, like, off course.
And he survived on meatballs and donuts.
So he would stop in the water and have a support boat just feed him a meatball on it.
Like, what, a big tong?
On a skewer.
Yeah, I think so.
They'd tong him out a couple of meatballs.
Was he allowed to get out of the water at all?
I don't think he did.
No, I don't think you're allowed to.
And I think even when they pass you stuff, they can't touch you, right?
Oh, I don't, like, they can't.
Yeah, like you could be like, I'm buoyant off them.
You could be like, I'm holding onto a stick.
I mean, I don't know, I just.
Oh, my God, I would want to have a good lean on the boat.
And the thing about ocean swimming, too, is the current.
Like, it can throw you off.
I think that's what happened.
Oh, when it all changed.
For context, because I can't understand it in the context of swimming.
Fletch, when you go for a swim in the afternoons,
how many kilometres would you swim?
Well, I'll do one to two k's.
Right.
He's done 80 at.
In a flat pool.
In a flat pool.
And then have a break.
And then have a break at the end.
And at the end have a little.
And then have a, okay, spa time.
Yeah, spa time.
Spa time.
Spa time.
But even my
I've done a 3.4k ocean swim
and a couple of two
you know, a few twos
but they're like
insanely hard
because yeah, the waves
are just
the current's throwing you off
so you've always got to be
like looking.
Jesus.
To him
two dollars
and congratulations.
Because how
when people do the
cook straight
that's not even half of that.
Isn't that 20?
Because they go the shortest distance.
Yeah.
24, 28 Ks.
Between the north and the south at the closest point.
But then that's sharks.
A lot of sharks there.
What, in the Cook Strait?
Yeah.
I think there's sharks in the Hauraki Gulf.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Famously.
Yeah.
Orcas were out there the other day.
Some friends went fishing and saw some orcas.
Although they don't tango with us in the wild.
Yeah, mutual friends.
And they were crying.
Like so moved by it.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Stupid Google.
I'm just looking to see how...
It's stupid.
It'll get us.
I'm looking to see how far it is...
What did you call me?
...to cook straight.
Don't end me, Google.
Do you want me to tell everybody your search history
and things you've looked up?
I know, even incognito mode.
Downloading information from P-O-R-N-H-A.
23 Ks.
23 Ks.
Yeah, the Cook Straight.
Well, I've got the top six things I think I could do for 33 hours
but totally couldn't.
Okay.
Number six on the list. Play video games.
I tried playing video games at the weekend.
The new Jedi Survivor game is out.
Happy May the 4th, bro.
Happy May the 4th.
Happy Star Wars Day, everybody.
And also to you.
To you.
And we lift our hearts up to Anakin.
Good from you.
Yeah.
And who does Anakin become?
Luke Skywalker.
Anakin is... Yoda. Yoda. No. Mandalorian. Yeah. And who does Anakin have become? Luke Skywalker. No.
Anakin is...
Yoda.
No.
Mandalorian.
No.
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Darth Vader.
Yes.
I mean, you know...
Because you're not my father.
Correct.
Was he, though?
No.
I am your father.
And then who loses a hand?
Everybody.
Everybody loses a hand.
Famous in Star Wars,
everybody's losing hands.
I'm happy.
We can schedule some
Star Wars chat soon,
but I've got...
It's a bit far.
I'm just trying to understand.
I tried to play a day.
I said to Sade,
don't ask anything of me on Sunday.
I'm video gaming all day.
And I played for a couple of hours.
She was like,
oh my God,
hold me back, Daddy.
Let me get in those pants.
And I got a couple of hours in. I was like, oh, I need to move.
Oh, really?
I need to get up and go outside and stuff.
I was like, I could sit there forever.
Back in the day, I could sit there forever.
It's old.
Top six things I could think I could do for 33 hours but totally couldn't.
A float tank.
Nah, who am I kidding?
I couldn't do that for more than an hour.
At the end of the hour, I'm a bit like, help.
Oh my God.
I'm getting to know myself.
I don't want to be locked in a bubble naked floating.
No, I will never do a float tank.
They rule.
Neither.
I remember all the bad things I've done.
I'd like to train myself up by doing float tanks
to the point where I think I could do hallucinogenics in a float tank.
You're weird.
Couple little mushies.
No.
In a float tank.
That just feels like a terrible idea.
Number four on the list of the top six things I could do for 33 hours,
but I totally couldn't.
Enjoy the exclusive company of a group of people.
I couldn't.
I couldn't.
Wait, we're going away for literally...
And I will need some time out.
And we're sharing the same apartment.
Minivan.
And minivan.
Are you?
We've got our brethren people mover.
Is Single Fletcher on the pullout?
Yeah, yeah.
No, I've got my own big bed.
I booked the accommodation. I'm in charge. Vaughan and Sade are on the pull-out? Yeah, yeah. No, I've got my own big bed. I booked the accommodation.
I'm in charge.
Vaughn and Sade are on the pull-out.
Yeah.
What?
That doesn't make any sense.
How did you?
I haven't told you our contraceptive plan?
Number three on the list of the top six things I could do for 33 hours,
but I totally couldn't.
Relax.
I've turned into my father.
I can't.
I sit and I'm like, bloody job can be done.
I can't do that.
It's horrible. It's horrible. God, take me back in my 20s. I could just into my father. I can't. I sit and I'm like, bloody job to be done. I can't do that. It's horrible.
It's horrible.
God, take me back in my 20s.
I could just chill all weekend.
Number two on the list
of the top six things
I think I could do for 33 hours
but I totally couldn't,
pick it a charcuterie board.
Because all the good bits
would be gone.
And then the cheese.
You can feel the crock after a while.
Charcuterie boards
in the hot summer,
like at the end of the cheese
if you haven't finished
the cheese.
I've made a good couple of charcuteries.
Platter's the last couple of...
Cheese ball heavy.
He has, but the last charcuterie that Fletch made for us
had two expired dips on it.
No.
They were reduced to clear,
and they expired the next day.
Eat them up!
So I got a bargain.
What was in it?
And nobody knew. Pesto, cheese, cream cheese. Pesto's not going off. Oh, eat them up. So I got a bargain. What was in it? And nobody knew.
Pesto, cheese, cream cheese.
Oh, pesto's not going off.
Oh, was it one of those multi-layered?
Cream cheese, multi-layered.
It looked a bit funky.
Nah, shake it up.
I didn't touch it.
Nobody else knew at the party that they were register clear.
I saw you whip the sticker off.
Saved $1.50 there.
You are outrageous.
That means I could buy another bag of cheese balls.
You, Jesus.
And number one on the list of the top six things I think I could do for 33 hours, but I totally
couldn't.
Drive a little tractor.
I think this is the one I could get closest to.
Yeah.
Wandsmith's little tractor.
Your tush would get sore, though.
No, not if it had a good...
The good ones have their little bouncy seeds in them.
Oh, my God.
And then a little bit of back support.
A little tractor.
That is today's top six.
Clay, Zed, Emz, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
A staggering.
Whoa.
A staggering.
Wow, you really mean this is a staggering figure.
I am staggered.
Whoa.
Vaughn, Vaughn, Vaughn.
I am staggered. I am staggering.
I will stagger. Yeah.
All tenses. Yeah. Post, past,
present. Post and
past are the same thing. Post, present,
future tense. I am staggered.
A staggering. 85%
of tech employees that let go
have sabotaged their ex-employer.
Oh, it's just tech employers.
They're the highest industry.
I suppose it would be easy to do so, right?
Yeah.
Because you're in the system.
When you did that thing with Haz,
you're in the matrix.
You're in all the numbers.
Because you're in here, in the computer.
In the computer.
In the system.
And the system is the business.
You know the system.
But then also, you could leave a trail, right? Like, I've heard of people doing that before. In the system. In the system is the business. You know the system.
But then also, you could leave a trail, right?
Like, I've heard of people doing that before. Not if you're a bloody hacking expert.
78% of them were caught and faced repercussions.
14% were caught but didn't suffer the consequences.
8% got away with it altogether.
What are repercussions when you've left a job?
Well, like, there's sabotage
laws. They take the good charger and you have
to use the one that's frayed that you have to get
it just right in the way of the charge.
You've got to twist the cord
like that. That's the bugger.
Well, that is right
punishment. They were punished.
Remote workers more likely to do it than on-site
workers. Okay.
Is it just stuff like you delete a whole lot of stuff?
The top form of sabotage amongst those surveyed
was posting inappropriate content on the company's social media.
Oh, wow.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah.
Following that was a more targeted approach,
which was sending unseemly or damaging emails to existing clients,
stealing companies' assets, damaging property,
disrupting business operations.
Oh, so like on your way out, you email all the clientele.
Or you take all the client
database. Who's coming with me?
So that would actually, you'd get prison time for that,
because that's corporate espionage, isn't it?
Oh! Not as sexy as
espionage. Espionage
is a sexy word. It is a sexy
word. It's French?
Yes. The origins of espionage?
I believe it is.
Espionage.
Origin.
Do you think you'd make a good spy?
No, I've got such a big mouth.
Like anytime I've got anything like remotely interesting or like gossipy, I'm like, guys.
I know, same.
Guys.
You can't tell anyone.
You've got to promise me you can't tell anyone.
So espion is the French word for spy.
Yeah, right.
Espionneur is the verb.
Espion.
Espionmache is the act.
Right.
That's a sexy word.
So if you're going to fire anyone from IT,
you've got to shut down their computers first and then fire them.
Yeah, unplug the keyboard.
Unplug the keyboard.
Unplug the keyboard and the mouse.
Pull out the USB connection.
Yeah, and then they'll be stuffed.
Utterly stuffed with a mouse.
They'll try to plug it in in a hurry,
but you never get the USB up the right way the first time.
And then they'll be panicky, and then you'll catch them in the act.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey.
Play ZM.
This news came out yesterday,
and it was actually the spin-off that were following up this story.
Shout-out spin-off.
They're the 90s band that sung the song Two Princes.
No, they're the publication.
He was thinking the Spin Doctors, Two Princes.
Yeah.
Close.
The end, this is the spin-off article,
the bitter end of the grapefruit fruit juice. My favourite!
That's my favourite flavour.
It's an outsider
to me.
I'm a pineapple man.
But grapefruit's good
for a bit of tang. I love the tang
of the grapefruit. No one likes orange.
I'll eat an orange.
But then they wouldn't be getting rid of it
if people were buying this en masse.
Am I incorrect in saying
there was once upon a time
a limey fruit juice,
a lemon-lime fruit juice?
No, it's always been,
oh, maybe,
but I feel like it's always been grapefruit
because you think it's lemon-lime.
It was grapefruit and lemon.
It was grapefruit and lemon fruit juice.
Very tart.
Well, it has been discontinued.
Tip-top media spokesperson Ben
confirmed to the spin-off yesterday
that the company has ceased production of its most sophisticated ice block.
Too many pregnancies.
Yeah.
You know, too many surprise pregnancies from people on the contraceptive pill
having their nice little cool-down frugue.
Although I...
Whoopsie-doopsie-dandy.
I don't know if there's much.
What's this?
A frigo.
What's...
I'm reading here there is a raspberry and lime fruit juice?
Yeah, I've tried that.
What?
Sir?
Is it actually?
Exqueeze me.
I've never had that.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Because I always go grapefruit.
I always go pineapple.
There's a mango.
Apparently it was the least popular of the flavour,
the grapefruit and lime.
And so that's just a sad reality of a lot of products now.
A lot of companies are getting rid of the ones that-
Shrinkflationing.
Yeah, shrinkflationing and getting rid of the products that don't sell.
Yeah, but why then-
Why?
Here we go.
Here we go.
She's on a roll.
Get them.
Get them, Hayley.
Get them.
Get them.
Why then last summer did they not do the frugitropical snow?
You cannot tell me that that doesn't sell.
Answer her.
I'm waiting.
Ben
from
Tip Top.
Because
whenever they do
the short little bursts
of the Fruity Tropical Snow
in the summertime
you can barely find them
they sell out so quickly.
They go gangbusters.
You go to the dairy
and you're like
Where's that Fruity Tropical Snow Ben?
Why didn't you ask me then?
They didn't do it last summer.
You could ask, couldn't you?
Was it because we were having a shitty summer
and then they were like, what's the point?
It was shittier.
And the lack of the tropical fruit.
It's still warm.
It's hot.
And wet.
The article says that in the summer of 2018,
the company cut back production of grapefruit and lemon
in order to focus on meeting the demand
of the popular pineapple and vanilla ice cream.
The pineapple frugio and vanilla ice cream.
Those two things.
I don't know if you can hear it, Aotearoa.
My brow is furrowed.
The tricoloured frugio tropical snow has been discontinued
on and off for over a decade now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It used to be a staple.
Yeah, you did.
The yellow bit. Get Ben you did. Yeah, Ben.
The yellow bit.
Get Ben in here.
The esophial yellow bit.
Throw one in.
And then the icy sorbet white bit.
Shut up, Ben.
What did the Popsicle band think of all this?
I don't know.
They are... Livid.
Livid.
They are irate.
They must be like,
we do not want to be the musical representation
of this brand anymore
because of this kerfuffle that you're making.
Right, well, I mean,
it's still got a lot of other flavours, Vaughan.
I'm looking at it now.
I have a trumpet or something.
Tip-top crave.
There's choc bar.
Let's not talk about how choc bars
absolutely pull back on the choc.
They've shrunk the bar in the middle.
My grandfather.
It's a bit of a semi-choc, isn't it now?
God rest his soul,
would roll in his grave
if he wasn't so tightly packed into that coffin.
I don't believe there was any... Wide-shouldered man.
Yeah. Wide-shouldered man. Impossible
for him to turn in his grave. Small coffin.
The actual coffin itself would have to turn.
It was a low,
sort of a low-profile
coffin. Yeah. No
rolling. Because he was a swimmer's shoulders.
Real swimmer's shoulders.
Real swimmer's shoulders.
He tried to roll. No rolling. Rolling. Because he was a roller. Real swimmer's shoulders. Real swimmer's shoulders. Real swimmer's shoulders.
Broad man as hell.
Broad man.
He tried to roll.
No rolling.
Cinched no rolling because he was such a roller.
We said we've got to knock that out in the afterlife.
Yeah.
And he loved a fruit, grapefruit and lemon, didn't he?
No, he loved a choc.
He loved a choc top.
And a choc top.
Loved a choc top.
His favourite was the E-Word pie.
Oh, no, we don't say that now.
What do we call it now?
Explorable?
Is it Explorable?
No, that's the lollies.
Chocolate log.
Chocolate.
Chocolate log.
He used to say when you opened one.
Yep.
He's dead.
He's not going to get cancelled.
Also, he probably.
When he said he opened one.
Yep.
It set off an alarm in the North Pole and they started running.
So you had to eat your E-Ppie very quick before they got to the house.
When you're a kid, the thought of a stampeding tribe of e-words.
Yeah.
Inuits?
Inuits.
See, you can't say Inuit either because that is like one tribe of Arctic living people.
Of?
Of the people of, of the native people. Of? Of the people of
the native people of northern Canada.
The Yukon. I'm just doing a quick Google.
That's only one tribe.
But when you're a kid and you open the pie and you
imagine the sirens sounding.
That was a terrible, you'd eat that thing real quick.
Ice cream headache. Good stuff. Because of the
polar pies.
That's a good name for it.
He would roll, but that was because he's from a different time. Also he'd probably say's a good name for it. He would roll,
but that was because he's from a different time.
Also, he'd probably say,
I'm still calling it that.
Yeah, he absolutely would.
100.
Clay.
ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Let me tell you
about last Wednesday.
I remember it like it was last week.
Do you mean yesterday Wednesday?
Wednesday before.
I want to look
what I did last Wednesday.
Well, this is, I looked into very extensively what I was doing last Wednesday and Thursday.
I've been looking into it.
Here's what happened.
Indy went to dance.
She does dance on a Wednesday afternoon.
What style?
Boogie Woogie and...
He doesn't know.
He doesn't know.
Contemporary jazz, tap, ballet.
It's not tap.
It's not.
There's hip hop.
I think it's contemporary.
Is it just the club?
Does she go to the club?
She goes to the club.
Yeah, okay.
She goes to the club.
Is she learning how to drop it low in the club?
She's learning how to drop it low just like her daddy did.
Did daddy?
Daddy used to do it to Christina Milian.
And dip it low, pick it up slow.
Move it all around.
Pop, pop, pop that thing.
I'm going to show you how to make a man sing.
Oh.
Yeah.
You can imagine.
The Outback, it's really, they've never seen the likes since.
Just never seen the likes since.
So she goes to dancing on a Wednesday.
Last Wednesday, Sade picked her up, and my mum and dad were here,
and dad's like, I'll come for a drive.
And so dad and Sade went and picked up Indy, who then they got home.
And then the next day, I was like, you've left a whole lot of stuff in the car.
Now, I didn't remember what shoes I got out of the car,
but I remember getting shoes out of the car and putting them on Indy's
bed. Now, the next day
there was the, where's Indy's
shoes? And I said, she left
them in my car. Oh, yeah.
Did you leave, and she's like, yeah, I got them
from dancing, but I think I might have left them in Dad's car.
And I said, well, you know, Dad's put them
on your bed, or Dad's put them inside.
Right. And then it was like,
well, no, you can't have because they're not in here.
And then we did that thing
where you search endlessly
for something,
fruitlessly for something.
Searched in every cupboard,
every bag,
every box.
And then there was the,
did you throw them out?
Why would I have thrown them out?
I love that question.
Did you throw them out?
Why would I bloody do that?
Did you put them in a box
and then throw the box out?
I was like, no, I crush the box.
Every box that gets thrown out,
I crush. My dad did do that though when I was a kid no, I crush the box. Every box that gets thrown out, I crush.
My dad did do that, though, when I was a kid,
and we still talk about it.
I had a pair of floral Doc Martens that were like my pride and joy,
and I stood in dog poo one day, and my mum took them off my feet and put them in a plastic bag in the boot.
Craig comes along, father of the year, cleans out the car.
Doc Martin's gone.
We should have taken.
We still bring it up now.
See, dads get blamed for this.
You shouldn't have left the shit-covered boots in the boot. They should have taken we're still bringing up now see dad's getting blamed for this you shouldn't have left
the shit covered boots
in the boot
but even now
they should have been taken out
at that time
if you leave
like this
this would have been
30 years ago almost
if you leave anything
in the boot
it'll be like
oh be careful
your dad will probably
throw them out
remember the Doc Martins
yeah
because he's a clean man
and he's cleaning up
and he's a father
and he's working hard
and he's supplying for his family
he's doing the best he can
and he's never the one that you went to and he's supplying for his family and he's doing the best he can. And he's never the one
that you went to when you were crying. And sometimes
that hurts.
So,
all of a sudden I'm the bad guy. I've done
to quite my wife something weird
with them.
I know what you mean.
I know what she means though. Your brain
bloody synapses at some point. You're putting them somewhere crazy.
That's what she's... She's like, you will have got out of the car
and you would have been like, oh, I need to make sure the freezer's still plugged in
and you would have put them on the freezer and then you'd be like,
oh, I'll get something out of the freezer.
You would open them, they would have fallen behind the freezer.
Absolutely.
They weren't behind the freezer.
I turned, I spent so many hours of this last week looking for these shoes.
Yesterday I said, have we asked the dance teacher if she left them at dance?
Oh, I'm sure she put them in the car.
Okay, but let's just fire a couple of missiles, you know.
Let's cross this.
I've literally turned the garage upside down.
I've turned the house upside down.
You've got me second guessing whether I threw them out or not
or I've done something crazy with them.
Have we asked the dance teacher if they're at dance?
Well, the dance teacher replied, yeah, there's two pairs of shoes in my boot that match the
description.
So yesterday, I did not pick up Indy from dance.
I was on dinner and some chores.
Oh, I thought you meant in produce.
She's still walking home.
I will not be fathering.
Well, she won't walk home in bare feet because it's four
and a half kilometres along a mostly gravel road.
Yeah.
She'll learn to put her shoes on her damned feet
and not leave them in Dad's car.
She gets home and I say, so were they your shoes?
Yep.
Everybody's just starts brushing it off.
Like Dad had to spend hours and stood at, you know, in front of the
Hague War Tribunal
accused of weird.
It was not me!
I've done nothing weird with the
shoes!
And everybody's just like, oh, no big deal.
Oh my god.
Yeah, they were her shoes.
So it was the dance shoes
I got out of the car Yeah well it must have been
Anyway
Anyway
Not anyway
Not anyway
Not anyway
Not anyway
Oh the shoes are back
That's all that matters
Great but
Where is
Like where is
Apology
Where is
There is
Apology
You have the wrong man
Nothing
Wow
I'm still waiting
You will die waiting I feel like I really will die waiting Dads do a lot of You have the wrong man! Nothing. Wow. I'm still waiting.
You will die waiting. I feel like dads do a lot of just like waiting.
Yeah.
You're outnumbered.
Your father's probably still waiting for an apology
for this decades of shit he's got.
I'm still waiting for a replacement pair of Doc Martens.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Three years.
The Apple iTunes store has been around.
20 years.
20 years.
Because do you remember when you, I mean, you obviously, we went from buying CDs to
then buying individual songs or albums and downloading them.
And that's all the time wire.
Yeah, sure.
Buying them.
Napster.
Napster.
Yeah.
Napster.
But I used to to I was so resistant
To the iPod
And like
And when I had my iPod
Then I was so resistant
To streaming
I'm slow on the uptake
Yeah
Because I had my
Discman and my CD wallet
And I just loved
Like flicking through
And listening to a CD
From start to finish
And especially because
People had amassed
Like huge collections
Of CDs
Yeah it's so many
And you had all
Your favourite albums
And then
And I just remember
The day I was like,
I ripped them all onto my computer
and I was like,
buy CDs
and just got rid of them.
I was like,
I don't need these.
We haven't.
My family still just has
a big crate of CDs
and any time I say to my parents,
like, guys,
we've got to get rid of these now.
My dad's like,
no, I love that album.
I'm like,
but you've got it on your
streaming.
You've got it everywhere.
You've got it everywhere.
Yeah.
I was big on,
I was big on.
CDs are a yuck aesthetic.
Yeah, they are.
Don't make
holding onto CDs
your personality.
They are
plastic and cracked.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Cracked plastic CD case.
Oh my God.
And you open them
and the whole like arm
comes off
and you're like
such a weak hinge.
And how good
were the little booklets?
Like they were so good but then they get waterlogged.
Tapes have better booklets than CDs.
Because you could only put so much in before the CD wouldn't shut properly.
But I remember once I gave into it, as you say,
ripped all my CDs onto it,
and then started buying and downloading music,
my iTunes was sacred.
And I have this playlist that I cannot get
and it was my top rated songs on my iPod
and then I downloaded stuff from iTunes and stuff.
Yeah.
And I would give anything to get that.
I've got the iPod, but I like can't,
it won't charge, it's all broken.
I'll give anything to get that playlist off it.
Someone would be able to,
it won't charge, but if this,
of course it was an old iPod, right? The spinning
hard drive. Yeah, you know those big ones that had like
126, oh yes
the spinny ones. Someone will be
able to get it off. Yeah, because I
remember being like, wait, I've got access to
all this music and
I would download so much. It was pretty metal-y at
the time. Yeah. But I wondered if we could take some calls
about what was the first song you had
on iTunes. Like legally. Or like the first calls about what was the first song you had on iTunes.
Oh yeah. Or like the first album? Yeah, the first album you bought.
I don't know if I can remember. It would still be on your
phone. Nah.
I got rid of my whole iTunes
library. It's all just... No, but if
you ever downloaded it...
Nah, I cleared everything.
Yeah, mine's gone.
Are you sure? Yeah. It won't just be sitting there? Yeah, nah, it's not. Nah, it's everything. I cleared everything. Yeah, mine's gone. Mine's gone. Are you sure? Yeah.
It won't just be sitting there?
Yeah, nah, it's not.
Nah, it's not the same.
Because I used to do it all on PC as well.
It'd be on the thing.
Apple Music really wants me.
Is it trying hard, isn't it?
It offered me six months free.
It wants me so bad.
It wants you so bad.
You're a bit desperate.
Yeah.
I think we had our time together.
I don't need to come back.
The things I have on my iTunes now are ones I've bought for like one-off videos
or my Christmas, now that's what I call Christmas album that I bought.
And that's it.
And sometimes when my car connects to it, it starts playing.
Well, it's all streaming.
It's all streaming now.
Are you positive that, see, look at this.
I haven't listened.
These are songs that I must have purchased.
Yeah, mine's all gone.
Hit us with some oldies there.
What have you got in your original iTunes?
Pork and Beans by Weezer.
Wow.
All right.
So this weird little phase of downloading string quartet covers of pop songs.
Oh, yes.
Like Guns N' Roses.
This, yeah.
Well, this is a special...
What song is that?
It's Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
Of course, that holds a special place in my...
Oh, do you remember that time?
Oh, Everlong by the Foo Fighters is a...
Oh, that's a beautiful song.
What, a pizzicato?
Yeah, that's a beautiful song. What, a pizzicato? Yeah, that's good.
Do you remember when they made
everybody's iPhone have U2
on it? Oh my god, everyone was so pissed off.
Gosh. And you couldn't delete it?
You were like, oh yuck, get off.
Oh yuck, I paid for this.
Don't hold back by the
pop ballads.
Oh, fantastic.
Well, maybe like Vaughan, you've got some shockers on your iTunes.
But can you remember what the first thing was
that you downloaded or bought on iTunes?
James Gunn and Chris Pratt join us on the show after 8 o'clock this morning
to talk about Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,
which is out in cinemas today.
But right now...
We are wanting to know what was your first album or song
that you downloaded on iTunes?
Because it's iTunes' 20th birthday.
Which is wild, right?
And you're just like, what?
I can have access to all this stuff?
Yeah, and you used to pay per song if you wanted just a song.
And you would listen to it
over and over and
over again. And you'd do a five-star
rating? Yes, and you had to justify
your $1.99 purchase, so you had to
listen to death.
Georgia, what is your first memory
of downloading a song?
So, I got an iPod for my 14th birthday.
Gorgeous.
And the first two songs I bought, I got a $10 voucher with it for iTunes,
and the first two songs I bought were All Summer Long by Kid Rock
and Raise Your Glass by Pink.
Oh, yeah. A couple of classics there, Pink. Oh, yeah.
A couple of classics there, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
I often still listen to those two songs when I'm in a bit of a nostalgic mood.
Well, let's hit you with a little bit of...
Oh, yeah.
Although he's gone right off the rails.
He's a full-on Trump supporter.
Right-wing pooper.
Nutbag, yeah. This is a banger song. He's a full-on Trump supporter. Right-wing poo-poo. But he is.
This is a banger song.
It's not surprising, though.
Singing sweet home Alabama.
Ah, similar.
All right, hit us with your early iTunes memories of songs you first remember buying.
You know we'll play them.
iTunes has just turned 20.
We want to know if you can remember back to the very first song you ever paid to download.
You paid that $1.99 or you got an album.
Let's go to Sarah.
Sarah, what was that song?
Morena, guys.
It was an absolute banger on my discipline, so I had to download it.
It was Sugar Sugar by Baby Bash.
Oh, my God.
That's DJ Vaughn spinning.
I can't think of that. Yes. Oh, my God. That's DJ Vaughn spinning.
Oh, thank you, Jack.
Yes.
How much was it?
Was it $1.79 and then it went up? $1.79 or $1.49?
Oh, I just remember it cost a lot of pocket money.
Yeah.
So did you have to then give your pocket money to mum and dad
to use their credit card?
Or did you buy, like, the gift cards?
No, I think it was a credit card purchase, just so I could sit in the back and look out the window and think I was part of the video.
Yeah, that's right.
He's in the car.
Oh, my God.
I love that.
Sarah, thanks.
You're cool.
Jenny, what was the first song you remember buying on iTunes?
An absolute banger.
Okay.
I remember it because the music video
has got women with a concrete breaker in it.
Oh, yeah, the power tools.
Oh, my God.
Satisfaction.
Satisfaction.
Wow, and how often did you repeat this song?
And then just touch me.
Oh, just all the time.
Because I was in London, it was party time anyway.
Oh, yeah.
Well, this is going straight on the playlist.
I love this.
Jenny, thank you.
Some messages.
Okay, we're going to change pace a little bit.
Okay.
Bleeding Love by Leanna Lewis.
I'm imagining there they just got nitro in the counters.
They got their heart broken.
You were so good at this on SingStar.
Was this SingStar?
No, that was Jamelia Superstar.
That was your jam.
Yeah.
God, they had some pipes on her though, wasn't it?
Yes.
I know.
Ah.
Another slow jam.
Oh, my God.
Asha.
These are my confessions.
I cheated on my girlfriend.
I gave her the yesterdays.
I'm Asha, baby.
Here comes Justin Bieber. He's on the horizon. I'm Usher, baby. Here comes Justin Bieber.
He's on the horizon.
I'm Usher, baby, yeah.
I made the other one pregnant.
Look at me, though.
I am so cute.
I'ma do it again.
I'm a total dirtbag.
This guy was responsible
for a few people's first downloads.
Bass Hunter.
Bass Hunter.
We met him. Very interesting gentleman. Crazy. first downloads. Bass Hunter. Do you remember when we met him?
Very interesting gentleman.
Crazy.
Very interesting gentleman.
Weird dude.
Weird dude.
Weird guy.
What's this one?
Oh, I thought it had a...
It's a slow build.
This was...
Yes!
A song that was used to advertise iPods in 2008.
It was.
It was free.
Yeah, so it. It was free, eh?
Yeah, so it might have been free,
but someone said this was their first ever digital music purchase.
Let's sing to them.
If your name was mentioned in the song,
it was pretty much your generation's Mambo No. 5.
Yeah.
It was.
All right, joining us on the show soon, James Gunn, Chris Pratt,
on the show to talk about the new movie which James Gunn, Chris Pratt are on the show
to talk about the new movie which is out today,
Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
is out in cinemas today.
I have seen it twice.
I have loved it.
We are joined on the show now by Chris Pratt and James Gunn,
the director and writer and star of Guardians of the Galaxy.
And I'm just going to say thank you so much for what has been
a beautiful trilogy, gentlemen.
Oh, thanks.
We had a great time putting this together.
And it's been a bittersweet journey because this is the last
of the Guardians films.
But we're enjoying every minute of it and really being present
every minute of it. So, movie one
sort of covers Peter Quill's loss of his mother.
Movie two, loss of the father figure.
Movie three, you bring animals
into the mix and the
cinema that we watched it in, I looked at it
around at one stage and everybody was proper crying.
So I was like, okay, I can have a couple of little tears
here. Dude, the CGI animals
had everybody in an absolute mess.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Listen, I, you know, I cry while I write these things.
So it's not always that surprising that people cry while, you know, they're seeing them.
I will admit that's taken me a little aback by how much people have been crying watching the movie.
Every screening we've had and the visual effects of, visual effects, because we start screening these things very early
without many visual effects, and people were crying back then,
and I'm like, okay, well, this is good.
There's a cry here, a cry there.
But as the visual effects have come in more and more,
people are crying more and more during the movie.
I go, oh, I didn't know that was going to happen.
But it's cool to see.
I think any time a movie elicits strong emotions like that
out of an audience is cool.
Chris, what did you think when you saw it?
Because you didn't write it.
You kind of, you know, weren't in some of the scenes.
When you first saw it, was it just, did it wreck you?
I've never cried, not even once, not even when I was a baby.
Oh, mate.
You should try it.
It's really fun.
It's very therapeutic.
What I do is I bottle it up, I push it way down,
I cork it off, I forget about it.
Oh, you should move to New Zealand.
We're really good at that.
Yeah, males.
Honestly, we do it for generations.
We know Taika.
We know Taika.
We know that.
Yeah, we know our worst.
Nah, Taika's a pussy compared to the rest of us.
The rest of us are just like fathers and sons, it's a handshake.
Warrior mentality.
We get it.
Absolutely.
You know, I was moved.
I was very moved by that in In the script, but also in the film.
You know, I gave myself this gift this time around,
which is I didn't watch anything until the premiere just a few days ago.
Oh, fun.
Early assemblies.
When we were doing ADR, I keep my eyes closed mostly.
I wanted to see as little as possible so I could be swept up in the journey.
You kept your eyes closed during the ADR?
How did you know what your lips were doing?
The sound.
But sometimes you were putting something different in your lip.
We did want to bring up that the ADR was pretty rubbish.
It was pretty bad actually.
Why do you think it took nine days to do the four lines?
It looked like old Japanese sort of dubbed monster films.
So I was swept up in the journey and I was very much moved.
I was moved and there were some tears all up and down my row.
And I'm not going to say exactly who, but my father-in-law was in the audience.
And I think there's a possibility that you made Big Honey cry.
You made Big Honey cry.
I went by the bathroom and Terminator was sobbing like a pig.
Oh, my God.
Hey, that was James that said that.
That was Chris's voice.
No, no, no.
If I recall correctly, the quote was,
my father-in-law sobbed an ugly cry.
No, what?
I said, I don't know if it's him, but somebody in our room cried.
You know, this is the one line out of this entire interview that the headlines are just
going to grab.
I know.
I know.
You know, listen, after doing this for long enough, you get used to that.
You say something and you go, oh, well, that's the thing everybody's going to pick up on.
Let's just say this.
Arnold, first of all, a hero.
Secondly, I think it was just one little manly tear that was coming down.
It was the same, like, you know, when he finally became,
like when Terminator 2 finally, T-2000.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When the thumb was going down into the thing,
what we couldn't see is below the lava, he was also crying.
The lava mixed with the tears.
Lava tears.
Now, this is the point where we've kind of been told we're almost out of time.
Look at all these questions.
But we've had fun, and that's the main thing.
I want to know, have you guys taken anything from set?
As you said, James, this is like the final Guardians.
You're moving on.
I don't know what you're doing.
There's a few things under, like, upcoming projects on IMDb,
but we're not here for that.
Did you guys take anything from set as a memorial?
I took, you know, in the movie when they go into the vampire bat family's home
and there's all those paintings on the wall
and there's all these little sculptures of like little weird monster things
that are human animals.
We call those guys human animals.
I took everything out of that house.
Oh, wow.
I have every single thing out of that house.
And then now is my Aspen house.
So my Aspen house actually looks like the vampire.
I'm sure your wife loves that.
Yeah, I was like.
I'm not even allowed to hang posters on the wall of my house.
I can't imagine if I turn home and be like,
okay, I bought some stuff home from set.
Vaughn's wife's got a scandy aesthetic and it just wouldn't go.
Very scandy aesthetic.
I'm like a little cockroach selling methamphetamines to this little octopus.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, It's beautiful, James.
Thank you.
Wow, thanks.
And what about you, Chris?
Did you take anything from your time on the guys?
Yeah, I always take a bunch of stuff.
At this point, I'm just back to U-Haul up and just say, hey, take everything.
Load her up.
Yeah, it'd be more expensive for them to fire me at this point, so I just take it all.
You took my wallet.
You took Sean's wallet wallet it's john's wallet i've got i the only thing i don't have that james has promised me earlier in an interview was
is the is the helmet i don't have the helmet but he promised he would give me one oh god the star
lord helmet you don't have a star lord helmet no can you believe it i have the gloves um because
that's the helmet is props yeah and i always have props back at the end of the day. Wardrobe I wear back to my trailer and oftentimes take that right home.
So I got all my gloves, shirts.
You know, I have the necklace that I was wearing.
I have the bracelet that my character was wearing.
I have boots.
Well, you guys are a couple of thieves.
Hey, we're giving the hard word to wrap it up, guys.
So thank you so much for chatting with us.
Thanks for waking us up.
We appreciate it.
It's so nice talking to you. Didn't even get to talk about the soundtrack, but that again is so well done. So thank you so much for chatting with us. And for waking us up. We appreciate it.
Didn't even get to talk about the soundtrack,
but that again is so well done.
Thanks.
Thank you so much. Beautiful movie.
Loved it so much.
Cheers for your time, guys.
Bye, guys.
See you guys.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
On the television tonight at 7.30 on 3 is 7 Days as per.
However, it's a special Comedy Fest episode,
and we filmed it live last night at Sky City Theatre.
You were on it.
Yeah, big show.
Crowd of about 600 people came.
It was really fun.
New Zealand versus the world.
New Zealand versus the world.
So it's me, Josh Thompson and Mel Bracewell as New Zealand.
Congratulations on being one of the best three comedians in New Zealand.
I think that's what it means.
That's what it means.
Well, you don't just put any rugby player on the All Blacks.
It is the best person for the job.
I think it's just whoever was available, to be honest.
No, no.
On a Wednesday night.
That'll explain it.
Oh, that'll make a lot of sense.
And we're going against Lloyd Langford, who's Welsh but lives in Australia,
Becky Lucas, Australian, and Danny O'Brien, who's Irish.
I would never have guessed by the name.
Danny O'Brien.
I know.
So Irish. Anyway, so we're filming last night. Danny O'Brien. I know, so Irish.
Anyway, so we're filming last night and it takes a little bit longer when it's live
and then we had a little half time
and came back out after the half time
and comedian Sam Smith, who's doing the audience work,
was like, Hayley, can this woman get a photo with you?
I was like, you know, happens almost daily.
I was like, absolutely.
I was also looking really hot.
I was a bit wet because I was very sweaty. And I was like, absolutely. I was also looking really hot. I was like a bit wet
because I was very sweaty.
I was wearing like a wool.
Do you look your hottest
when it's more humid?
Yeah,
I kind of get a little sheen on.
Sort of a natural sheen.
I think that's why
she likes barley so much.
Yeah,
because I sheen.
Yeah,
you're just sheeny.
And I was like,
absolutely.
And I stood up
and everyone gasped
at my beauty and grace.
And then came down the stairs and she was like
really excited she's a fan I think she listens to the show
and she's probably listening now and being like oh my god how embarrassing
but you know this is what happens when you talk to me
you become content
and she said
to me oh my god I didn't even realise you
were on tonight and when I saw you here I was beside myself
because you are one of New Zealand's top three
comedians. Did she say that?
I mean she didn't need to say it.
The team
had spoken for itself.
It sounds like you're putting words in her mouth there.
Yeah.
So she said hello.
She said hello. And then
we had a little photo and she was like, this is my husband.
And I was like, hello, husband.
But she was very uninterested in me engaging
with him. And then we were sort of having a nice photo and she was like, woo! She was very uninterested in me engaging with him and then we were sort of
having a nice photo and she was like woo she was so excited
keep giving me a hug and
she said I've literally said to
my husband a couple of weeks ago
if I'm not married to you can I marry Hayley
Sproul? Oh wow
Interesting she asked
him before she asked you
she almost feels like you're on board
regardless. From the sounds of it I don't really have a choice
in the matter
no no no
she's very forward with it
yeah
and I was like
you know what
fine absolutely
I'll marry you
yeah okay
if your husband
cocks it
I'll marry you
straight out the blocks
yeah and then
she's gonna kill the husband now
and you're gonna be
that's gonna be on your mind
yeah and then
we went to check the photo
and of course
because it was taken
by her husband in low light
it was so bad
and we were like
men
this guy needs to hurry up and die.
Men.
Yeah, I said to him, I said, hopefully you die soon
and I can take your wife away.
But I might have cursed him.
That's terrible.
And then she was like, well, do another one.
And then she put her around my shoulder.
She was like, oh my God, my friends are going to be so jealous
because I told them that I wanted to have sex with you.
And I was like, oh, okay. Well, what did you think
she meant by like marrying you?
No, just like when hanging out. Marrying is like
ha ha ha ha.
Like, if my husband
dies or something happens to him, I want to
marry you, ha ha ha ha. Yeah.
But saying I want to have
sex with somebody is
high praise. Yeah. She's a lucky two. She's a good with somebody is... High praise.
Yeah.
She's a good looking woman.
Super high praise.
But it's creepier than just being like,
yeah, she should get married.
Was this, like for a moment,
if you spin the tables around,
that's probably how Jason Momoa feels when people like you come up to him.
I know.
Because I feel like if I met Jason,
I'd have such a limited amount of time with him.
You know, he's always being whisked away.
I would have to put it straight out there
that I've been given the A-OK to sleep with him
if he wanted to sleep with me.
Okay, right.
So I'd be like, oh my God, nice to meet you.
I'm such a, I wouldn't be this cool.
Nice to meet you.
I'm such a big fan.
Hey, just sort of straight out the gate,
let you know that my fiance said
I'm allowed to sleep with you.
So if you want to sleep with me, we can do that.
And what, like, you know now what that's like.
You'll get Aaron to take the photo and he won't take a good photo.
Oh my God, Aaron's the worst.
If I got Aaron to take a photo with me with Jason Momoa,
it would be all angled weird and it wouldn't be centre.
And you'd be like, what's that in the corner?
And it would be like his little finger.
A finger covering Momoa's face or something. Clack, clack. And he takes one? He'll be like, what's that in the corner? And it would be like his little finger. A finger like covering more his face or something.
Click, click.
And he takes one.
He'll be like, one.
That's what they take, one.
Just keep clicking, boy.
Anyway, I was very flattered.
You're a hall pass.
I am a hall pass.
As Jason is mine.
And I think if you have the opportunity to meet your hall pass,
as this woman did last night, tell them.
Well, Vaughn is meeting your hall pass in a week. A week and a bit. Go tell him. Imagine if I was his hall pass, as this woman did last night. Tell them. Well, Vaughn is meeting your hall pass in a week.
A week and a bit.
Go tell them.
Imagine if I was his hall pass.
What a triangle of hall passes.
I need to get a really hot photo done this weekend.
I'm going to do a little lingerie shoot.
And I'm sorry, I am going to have to send it to you, Vaughn.
You don't have to look at it.
You can just have it there.
Do I slip it into his pocket?
You can slip it into his pocket and say,
she's been given the A-OK. Gotcha. I can just have it there. Do I slip it into his pocket? You can slip it into his pocket and say, she's been given the A-OK.
Gotcha. I can do that.
I think we make a cardboard
cutout. Yeah, but it's gotta be hot.
I can't take the lingerie
cardboard cutout. I'll look weird.
And then it'll be very hard to get
into his pocket. I don't care.
Do this for me. Put a sheet over it.
Carry it under a sheet.
I don't want to have to see it.
I gave you a ride to work this morning. You owe me. Why do I want to have to see it? Yeah.
I gave you a ride to work this morning.
Okay.
You owe me.
Okay, I'll look at your laundry.
Play Ziddy's Fletch for the Daily.

Fact of the day, about plurals.
Oh, for God's sake.
I'm going to walk.
They said it couldn't be done.
They said it couldn't be done.
But he did it.
But he did it.
I said you could. They said it couldn't be done. They said it couldn't be done, but he did it. But he did it. I said you could.
They said it couldn't be done.
They said it couldn't be done, but he did it.
What did he do?

Okay, calm down.
I didn't know that was inside me.
He's had a coffee.
He's had a coffee.
He's excited because.
I only did this because you told me not to,
and you know that that's a thing.
I know.
You know this.
I just hope it's sexy,
because a fact of the day about plurals, oh yeah.
How would you like plurals to be sexy?
I don't know, just what have you got?
Well, I've got something today where the word we use is the plural.
Did you know opera is a plural?
Oh yeah. Opera. I went and saw a plural? Oh, yeah.
Opera.
I went and saw a couple of opera.
Yeah.
So if you went to two operas in one day,
you would say I went to the operas.
You need to get a life to start.
You would say you went to the opera.
Yeah.
I went to the opera twice.
You went to two different opera is what you would say.
No, but I went to operas.
Because the plural is opus.
I mean, the singular of opera is opus.
But what about when I was in Sydney and went to the opera's house?
It is called that because it is the house of opera.
No, it's not called the opera's house.
It's opera's house.
No, it's not.
It is.
The Sydney Opera House.
The Sydney Opera House.
The Sydney Opera House.
The Sydney Opera's House. Look it up. It's with an S, it is. The Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Opera's House.
Look it up.
It's with an S.
Get a grip.
Are you wasting my Google time?
Are you wasting a little bit of Google time?
And now Google thinks you're dumb now.
I know.
Did you know?
I always said the Sydney Opera House.
Did you know data is a plural?
Data is.
I bet you didn't.
Because you're a dummy.
What's the singular?
Datum. Is singular? Datum.
Is it?
Datum.
Ah, piece of information.
Oh, okay.
Singular.
Datum.
Piece of information.
The fact is a datum worth taking into account.
Okay.
So it's not, you wouldn't say is datum.
You'd look for a because it's singular.
I've got all the datas.
Sydney Datas House.
Yeah.
That's what it is. That's how it works.
The Sydney Darters House.
The plural of faux pas?
It's already got the S on the end.
It's its own plural.
What's the singular?
Faux pas.
Graffiti is the plural.
Did you know that?
I saw multiple graffitis as I was driving in. I saw a lot of graffiti onffiti is the plural. I saw multiple graffitis
as I was driving in.
Graffiti.
I saw a lot of graffiti
on the way to work.
Yeah.
I saw multiple graffiti.
Because graffito
is the singular.
Is it?
That's just what you got to read.
With a spray can
just do one dot.
One dot.
Graffito.
One graffito.
It's also the same
with confetti.
Oh yeah.
Cannon confettis.
Got to clean up all the confettis. Confetto. Confetto. One bit of confetto. One bit of confetti. Oh, yeah. Cannon confettis. Got to clean up all the confettis.
Confetto.
Confetto.
One bit of confetto.
One bit of confetto.
Okay.
Now, this is aside from the fact of the day,
which is like we use a lot of plurals as singular
and we're doing it wrong.
But I also found out what the plural of beef is.
Beef.
Not as in like if you were having multiple arguments.
Right.
As in, like, multiple beef cows.
What is the plural of beef?
Bee.
Beefs.
Beaves.
Beaves.
With a V.
Beaves.
Like, yeah.
Beaves.
Okay.
Like, oh, look at that paddock of beaves.
And you would be right.
You would not be wrong. But you don't say the paddock ofaves. Okay. Like, oh, look at that paddock of beaves. And you would be right. You would not be wrong.
But you don't say the paddock of beef.
No.
They're an animal before they're beef.
Say the cows.
So what is the fact of the day?
Is that the today's fact of the day is we use a lot of plurals as singulars and we're wrong.

The other thing people love about Pedro Pascal is like him off screen, right?
He's so wholesome.
He's like an outspoken trans activist because his sister is trans.
He is open about his anxiety.
He's a beautiful friendship with Bella Ramsey.
He's just...
I think he's always...
He's everything.
He's always been in a caring, like, fatherly role as well.
Also, but also one of those celebrities that found fame later in life,
so he isn't a douchebag.
But worked and had to work to stay in Hollywood till then.
Exactly.
He's worked hard.
Yes, like a fine wine.
Anyway, so as you say, this caring sort of dad thing,
and everyone's like, daddy, daddy, daddy, hot daddy.
And he's liking it.
Well, he turned up to the Met Gala,
and people just lost their minds because he wore shorts.
Dad always wears shorts.
Dads have to wear shorts.
They do, yeah.
He is wearing a red woolen trench coat, red shirt,
like black tie, slick hair, looking so hot,
and a pair of quite short mid-thigh shorts.
And his pose was constantly one knee out.
And he called it his sluzzy little knee.
And that's what got the internet talking, his knees.
Yeah, and like people were like,
I mean, he looks hot all over.
The knee is driving me,
it's driving everyone crazy.
People are saying the sexiest knees on the internet.
The sexiest knees I've ever seen.
Have I got sexy knees?
I'm wearing shorts today.
Oh God,
what's the wrinkle bit at the top?
It's that bit folding over.
I've got that.
I think it's the fourie.
I was looking at my knees yesterday too.
And I've got the wrinkle fold,
like this pocket of fat
that kind of,
you know,
clicks a bit.
Oh, you've got old lady knees. No, not old lady knees, sort of like
Vaughan's wearing jeans. I've got babies
on them. But do I not have sexy knees?
Oh, they're not bad.
Oh, he doesn't like this. He doesn't like
this. They're too gristly.
They've got gristle. Yeah, you're a gristly old
sinewy old chewy old bit of
chop. He's a chewy
chop. He's a chewy old chop.
No matter if you slow cook
or fast cook,
it's still going to be gristly.
I don't dare fast cook
that chewy old chop.
Don't slow cook my knees.
Casserole chop.
You'd have to.
You have no choice.
Take the bone out
and put them in a crock pot.
Let them stew in all day.
You could probably use it
just for gravy.
Yeah.
He's got gravy knees.
He's got gravy beef.
He's gravy beef.
Anyway, the knees
are driving people crazy.
You guys always pick me up.
We always send you off into the day with a beautiful attitude.
You do, yeah.
I want to know, because people have just absolutely lost their minds over Pedro's knees,
what is the body part on your lover or your partner or someone you find incredibly sexy
that just drives you crazy?
And I'm not talking about, you don't have to ring up and say,
my wife's got beautiful breasts.
I'm sure she does.
But that's classic, right?
Like, what is the, is it the?
Elbows.
Is it the décolletage that almost sends you into a spin?
Your collarbone.
Yeah, the collarbone that comes down to the chesty bit here.
What about, like, those dimples above the, on the back?
Yeah, they're a bit cute, eh?
What about these things?
Oh, yeah, I don't know what they're called.
The line.
The abdominal lines.
The headlines down to party town.
Yes, please.
But yeah, maybe there's a little bit,
or maybe it is the elbow.
The weenus.
You can't get enough.
Yeah, maybe your husband or boyfriend
has amazing knees like Pedro Pascal.

What part of the body just absolutely drives you crazy?
Well, Pedro Pascal has broken the internet again.
With his knees.
His knees.
I didn't realise.
I mean, how did I not see this coming?
We've turned the show very sexy.
Because I wanted people to tell us what part of the body they find very
sexy on their part. Yeah, Georgia
has just been in playing with Hayley's earlobes.
Yeah, she did. She loves earlobes
and she came in and she was bragging about
her boyfriend's earlobes.
Hayley's got good ears
so I've never noticed his earlobes. I immediately
put on my headphones to hide my
sexy lobes. I can't have that sort of
distraction at the workplace.
No, we can't be objectified
like that.
No, I simply won't stand for it
but Hayley's like
come and have a fiddle
so Georgia came and like
touched hers
and said how soft they were.
Good lobes.
Yeah.
I've got great ears
other than the inside
they have.
Yeah, right.
That'll kill the sexiness
pretty quick, that noise.
Yeah, don't do it.
It really does.
Shay, what do you find
attractive on your partner?
I think her eggs.
We lost you.
Her eggs?
You just cut off.
You just cut your phone cut off.
Her ears.
Her ears.
Oh, what do you like about them?
We've got another ear fetish sort of situation.
So she kind of reminds me a bit like Princess Penelope
off Wreck-It Ralph.
She's really cute.
That's cute, but Princess Penelope's ears also pop out a little.
Do her ears pop out a little?
Yeah, a tiny bit.
Oh, they're cute.
Yeah, they are cute at all.
She's got a really adorable look to her because of her ears.
Oh, my God.
She can't get enough.
Super cute. Sarah, Shay, thank you. cute, Saraj. She can't get enough. Super cute.
Sarah,
Shay, thank you.
Sarah,
what do you find sexy
about your partner?
The one body part.
So,
below the abdominals,
there's this group of muscles,
I don't know what they're called,
but not the abs,
but they make this
really sexy V
when they go down
into the pants.
And when you're like
wearing low slung pants,
there's nothing hotter than that. Oh my God. And they're like,'re like wearing low slung pants, there's nothing hotter than
a V. And they're like, they're wearing
low slung pants and then they like reach up to get
something and their t-shirt rides up and then you're like
seen it!
Down to party town, like you said.
Yes, down to party town.
Well done on delicately
ascribing those. Yeah, yeah, there is a term I think.
Some colloquial term. Yes, yeah, there is a term, I think. There's a terrible term.
Yes, that we can't say on the radio.
I'm loving this.
We're celebrating the things that you find sexy about your partner,
the body part.
A lot of them are just not the traditional, you know, bits.
Jean-Etudes and your memories.
You've got to know what you love about them.
Yeah.
And you should be listening, their partner should be listening
because they've got to know what to work with.
Yeah.
For example, the amount of people that find their partner's forearms sexy.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Tell me, lads, long-sleeved shirts, pull them up to the elbow.
But you've got to work them a bit so we get a little vein.
Which is this bit, the forearm or the top?
Well, it's all the forearm.
Do I have a good four?
You've got great fours.
Underneath, you want a bit.
So my husband has big, strong forearms, reads this text.
He's an electrician.
And when he gets his screwdriver out and starts screwing,
the muscles in his arms start popping and veins will pop.
I'm getting 240 volts.
This vein. There's a vein in here on the
underside of it when you're like doing
something. Oh my god, stop me now.
I'm just
going to touch on some forearms a bit more.
Okay. Some more people said some
forearms. My partner, whenever he has to open a
jar or use a bit of strength or something and the veins
and the forearms pop out. Give me
some more. Yum, yum, yum. Now, can I?
We'll just take it from the forearms to the calf muscles.
Jay, good morning.
Good morning.
They are the forearms of the legs.
And a lot of messages in, you find your partner's calves to be 10 out of 10.
Definitely.
They're bang on.
What is it about them?
Like, what is it?
The shape, the color, the size, the hair?
I think it's the fact
he's standing and you can just see
the back of his calf just ripple.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about when you see
a guy
with calf muscles and you're like
damn, and now I've got a little New Balance shoe
a bit of a white sock
pulling up,
you know,
he's going to mow the lawns
or something,
he's got a walking short on.
He's a bit skinny.
No, no, no, no,
but they've got like
the calf muscle
of an athlete
and you're like,
wow,
what's your gym routine
for those?
And they're like,
don't go.
But you know,
those people that are
just genetically blessed
with a big thumping calf.
I think you were born
with calves under there.
I've got chicken legs.
He does.
Oh, you do.
But I felt real good because somebody messaged in saying they love their husband's chicken legs.
He gets teased by his friends for having skinny legs, but I absolutely love them.
Well, Sade must love your skinny legs.
She loves his skinny little legs.
She loves his skinny legs.
Rosie, what do you find about your boyfriend to be the most attractive?
So he's got a shaved head.
Oh, okay.
A balding shaved head or a shaved shaved head?
It was balding and then he just shaved it.
So he's razor shaving it.
He's getting in the shower and giving it the once over with a razor.
Yeah.
Well, there's a routine.
But yeah.
So when it's freshly shaven, it's just chef's kiss.
Oh, yeah.
Now, do you like a glistening finish?
Do you like a shiny finish or a matte finish on the shaved head?
Oh, a shiny finish.
Shiny.
Shave it up.
Buff it up?
Yeah, buff it up.
You're going to buff it up?
Yeah.
There you go.
Rosie.
That is hot.
She's getting a bit worked up.
We're going to let her go.
I shaved my head last night.
I didn't want to tell her while she's on the phone.
Oh, yeah, that's looking fresh.
That's looking good.
That's absolutely rosy, rosy, burly there.
See, I didn't shave my head last night because I'm going to shave my head tomorrow before the wedding.
I'm going to shave my head tomorrow before the wedding as well.
You're going to do a double shave.
I'm going to double shave.
Interesting.
What did you do that for?
I don't rash up.
Some people don't like to shave their head too often because they don't rash up.
Vaughn gets rashy.
No, no, I don't get rashy.
He does, he does.
He gets a bit rashy. Sir, sir, sir don't get rashy. He does, he does. He gets a bit rashy.
Sir, sir, sir, sir.
Susan,
it looks like a blistering strawberry.
Susan, sorry about Vaughn's head rash.
Susan, my head is not rashy.
What do you find sexy
about your husband, Susan?
Hi, good morning, guys.
Good morning.
I actually love his hands.
Hands?
Oh, yeah.
Are they those big man hands?
No.
Oh.
It's very delicate.
It's very small and no hair.
I just love his hands.
He's got lady fingers.
Has he got lady fingers?
Has he got lady hands?
Feminine hands. It is kind of a lady hand.
It's smaller than mine.
My fingers are chubby, you know, and his fingers are very tiny and very small.
I love his hands.
I don't know why.
Is he like a pianist or something?
Yeah.
How does he keep his hands so trim?
I don't know.
There's no hairs.
I can't even explain.
I have something about his hands.
Even I've got hairs on my hands.
I would like to shake this man's hand.
You break it.
He don't shave his hands for sure, but it's just something, I don't know, I think it's
so, I can't explain it.
Oh no, this is the thing about sexiness though, you can't explain it.
You can't explain what gets you going, it just gets you going.
Susan, thank you for sharing.
I'll see these dainty little fingers.
Yeah, so he could sort of like do some display modelling.
He could be a ring model or something.
My grandfather's always had, well not granted as a kid, but these massive, massive hands.
You've kind of got King Charles sausage fingers.
I do not have a rashy head or sausage fingers.
You're really painting bad pictures.
This is because we called your knees gravy beef.
I've got some more.
I've got some more.
Okay, quick finish.
Hands.
Has big, dirty hands.
The dirtier the better
Oh but yeah

Between too many arm veins
Someone said
You don't want someone
That looks like gravy beef
With the veins
You want a delicate balance
Of the veins
I'm a sucker
For big beautiful teeth
Oh I love it I love a horsey woman.
Why a woman?
On women, I think massive teeth are so sexy.
Really?

A horsey woman?
A horsey woman that looks slightly like a boy.

Sort of a boy, sort of a female boy horse.
Female boy horse. Sort of a female boy horse female boy horse
sort of a centaur
