This is Fleshwood and Haley's Big Pod.
Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse,
the biggest brands of the lowest prices.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.
Vaughn joining us from the home daycare studio today.
That's right.
Yes, good morning, all.
I'm just getting my levels right.
You're coming a little loud, actually, Fletch,
a little, some would say borderline obnoxious.
Wow, really?
Well, I'm actually, this is the baseline.
We're at the market.
You're at the master desk.
We're at the master's studio, so you adjust your levels.
You twist your knobs on.
I'm at home.
Knobbs are being twisted.
I bet.
Only in the songs, please.
ZM's million dollar summer continues.
Your chance at 7 and 8 o'clock this morning to get in the drawer to be chosen.
The chosen one that can have a shot at digging up that $1 million cash prize.
And even if you miss that, you still walk home with $10,000 cash.
So activate us this morning, 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock.
Also this wild weather that is just absolutely battering the country.
I said to my therapist yesterday, I said, I've had a bit of a funny.
I don't think they can help with the weather.
No, no, no, no, no.
Virginia, please.
No, but she was saying it's really getting people down.
People come in and be like, I don't know why my mood's so.
And she's like, it's this weather.
Good for business for her, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all depressed.
Great time to be a therapist.
She's like, yes, months of poor weather.
It's going to be great day for Virginia.
Whereas when it's sunny for like four months on end,
she's like nearing bankruptcy.
Everyone's happy.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, they call it sad, eh?
Something seasonal, something depression.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do, yeah.
Well, it's like people that live in like London,
winter and stuff and they don't see the sun for like six months.
And they get those like fake sunlight, vitamin D light.
Wild.
Well, we're going to chat to our friend Philip Duncan from Weather Watch
after seven this morning, just on the latest.
can't control the weather, but Philip might be able to.
He's got a weather controlling machine, so we'll chat to him.
The top six, four, and coming up, the election's been announced.
Yeah, the top six reasons wage November 7th is a bad election date.
It's no good, guys.
And the reasons are plentiful.
But next, I've already been sent this clip 5,000 times, so you can absolutely stop that.
Did my mum send this to you because she sent it to me?
No, she didn't.
She'd be one of the few people that didn't send it to me already.
But I'll tell you next
The latest cow video and article
That I'm getting sent a lot
The Fletch born and Haley
Big Pod
Now I get sent
Cow videos
I get sent cow videos
I get sent lots of farming videos
Fletch yours is cat stuff
I get sent cat stuff
Mine's odd taxi dermie
Yeah
I always get sent Instagram messages
I know Haley doesn't check her DMs
Can you please pass this on to her
And I'm just like
Oh I had one of those
The Out Big Dad
Sprout's personal executive assistant
I had one of those the other day.
Haley doesn't read messages.
Just pass this along.
I've actually been exceptional recently at reading messages.
So if I'm not reading your message, it's targeted and I don't like you.
Well, the listeners know what we like, and they will send us videos.
And we love it.
And I have been sent this video, and it is hecker cute.
Veronica, the brown Swiss cow, using a stick to scratch yourself.
Is it a broom?
She can use a broom, and she uses a stick.
She uses a stick, but when she uses a broom, she scratches a different part of her.
She's very clever.
Right.
And is this the first time this has been witnessed?
No.
I think this is just the first time that cows do stuff like this all the time.
Totally.
I love, because my favourite is like the pandas rubbing themselves against the tree.
Yes.
Or a grizzly bear rubbing its back against the tree.
Like, hurr-huh.
Yeah.
This is big news though.
This is BBC evil and this is serious news.
This is animals using tools, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
I found an article that said that, you know, this is just, if you're around an animal,
you'll see it use a tool and maybe just because people aren't around cows,
they don't see cows do this sort of stuff.
And then they said, you know, this is this cow using a tool joins a long line of animals that use tools.
Like, you know, sea otters use stones.
Yes.
And they have their favourite stone and they keep a little pouch.
What do you mean?
Bevers use little wood sticks.
Well, they make their dams.
Yeah.
They kind of eat the tree, don't they?
And then push it into the thing.
Yeah, but they use it like little, like their little tradies on the site.
They do look like little tradies, don't they?
They do look like little tradies.
Get them a V and a pie.
I reckon it would be impossible to distinguish between the two.
Absolutely.
In fact, maybe that's a money-saving scheme here.
I reckon the trick would be the beaver would turn up and just get on with the job
and not have to nip away for a couple of hours to work on another cashie.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you're like, ha, you're a beaver, you're not even a tradie.
What do your cows scratch themselves on?
Because you've got them a little shelter.
Yeah, but your cows don't pick up a stick or a broom, do they?
They're not as advanced as this cow.
Have you got dumb cats?
Sounds like you've got a couple of dumb cows.
I've got a couple of dumb cows.
The tongue on this cow.
I mean, it's a long pointy tongue.
Cows famously do have long tongues because that's how they eat.
They kind of wrap their tongue around the grass and pull it out.
People think cows chomp, chomp, chomp the grass?
They don't.
They kind of pull it out with their tongue.
Wes, is this cow going to go sort of social media, you know,
get lots of brand ambassadorships now and get a page?
Or it could do a, I don't know, some paid posts for might of 10, shovels, brooms.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brooms for any reason.
Rates, any, anything.
thing with a long handle.
She's 13 years old.
That's getting up there for a cow.
Is it?
They were saying that until now they've only seen chimpanzees.
No, here we go.
I've got a list of other animals.
So we've got the, we've got the otters using stones to like just large mollusks
and open them.
Chimps sharpen the end of sticks to make spears and then they stabs sleeping bush babies.
Sleeping bush babies are those little things with massive eyes.
I hate chimps now.
I hate them.
I've got shanks.
I hate them.
They're shanking other animals.
Shanking other animals.
Like Prussar. New Caledonian crows fashion
Exquisite hooks from plant stems and use them
to extract larvae from logs.
Okay. Polar Bees smack
walruses over the head with rocks.
They're clubbing seals.
It feels like they're already at an unfair advantage.
I know. Yeah, to be fair, put down
the rock and just use your fists like a man.
Yeah. You're attacking
something that's mainfling as two massive teeth.
Just clobbering.
Humans use DeWalt.
Yeah, they do actually.
DeWalt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, homo sapiens use DeWalk.
Octopuses apparently use stones and shells to throw at each other.
They're cute.
There's a type of bird that will pick up burning sticks from wildfires
and carry them and drop them in another part of the forest to ignite fresh fires
and then feast on the animals that flee.
What?
That is wild.
Firehawk raptors.
There's lots of examples of, like, but that's chaos, eh?
It feels a bit dangerous like these animals could take over.
It's giving planet of the earth.
apes. You know what I mean? They're just going to out smarter
soon. It is well. You think we kill them all and just
become the planet's dominant species. Well, I just feel like we're
so worried about AI and actually the problem's
been in front of us the whole time. It's cows
with broomsticks. The A and IA stands
and AI stands for animals. It does.
The Fletchborn and Haley
Big Pod. This is, I think, a great
idea if you've got a lot of single friends in particular.
But I think you could do it two ways. I think you could do
that. So it's called Bring a Stranger Night.
It's doing the rounds on TikTok at the moment as a great
way to spend an evening with friends.
Okay.
So say it's the five of us, the show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would host a dinner party at my house.
I just think I've got the nicest dining table.
Do you know what I mean?
It's from the 1800s.
It's gorgeous.
We're just so nice to sit around.
And Bora does make a wonderful dinner guest.
The borough dust really crumbles into the lasagna quite nicely.
Yep.
So.
Benches, so, benches, not individual chairs.
No, no, no, no.
The bench is gone.
Oh.
I lost the bench.
Oh, okay.
Cheers. We've got chairs.
Okay, that's good because when you want to go closer to...
When you want to go closer to a table and there's like someone else needs to sit further away and you're just like...
No, no, I'm cheers. I'm strictly chairs now.
Okay, okay.
Thank you.
No, I know.
And do you know what?
Benches was a vibe for a while.
They do half chairs and half bench.
Yeah.
Like what are you?
At a beer cafe?
Yeah, what is this?
Beer Fest.
Yeah.
Beer Vana.
What are we at?
What are we eating at church?
This is ridiculous.
That's right.
No, no, no.
I'm into the chairs now.
Yeah.
So the five of us are, I'll host the dinner.
party. Each of us brings
basically... Can I bring a plus one?
Yes, you can. But
the trick is
they have to be somewhat of a stranger
to you. So this could be...
It can be...
So I say you can do this either way.
It could be you could bring an interesting person
that you've just met as
of late. Like, oh, this, you know,
I got introduced to this person by one person
we've met once. I'm going to bring them. They've got a really
interesting story to tell or something like that.
Or it can be someone
newly single that you've just met
and we could all get together and like that could be your
first date is this
you're trying to invite us to another swingers party
because I've told you,
listen you're not invited to those
but if you've got a like tight group of friends
or a good group of friends
you're gonna like you're gonna know
everyone they know aren't you
Isn't this a movie? Wasn't this a movie?
Jennifer Schmucks
Yes
Yeah yeah we watched it the other day actually
It's still a funny movie
But this is more like dating oriented
So it could be someone that you like
met on the train
or something or someone that someone hooked you up with recently
and you bring them to this dinner party
it's sort of like a funny low pressure thing
there's so much conversation flowing
because no one knows each other that well
so you're not like old friends having the same conversations
over and over so Carwin's bought her stranger
and I'm just getting to know this stranger
I haven't heard their stories before
but what if you like your stranger
and you bring them to this dinner
but then they hit it off with one of your friends
great
you wanted them
This would be good if some of you were single
And some of you weren't though
Yeah
I put the dish I want to eat
And now everyone else wants to eat it too
Everyone's at even
I brought this to the party
Everyone's eating my dish
I got none of it
My potluck
So you can use like
You know how Bumble and Tinder and that do
The kind of like double dating thing now
You could do it that way as well
Like you all kind of get on there
And match and stuff
And they like keep it low key
And chill and everything
And it's good
I know people have done this in the
pass it, they like to
meet new people. So
they'll tell their friends to bring someone the group
doesn't know or someone interesting. Yeah, for sure.
And then it just makes for either, it could be
a train wreck of a dinner or it could be
fascinating. Or you could literally meet your new
best friend ever.
Yeah. This is a great idea and I genuinely
think this is something that I could do.
The only thing is it's kind of awkward because my parents live with me
and they're sort of around. Do you know
to Patsy and Craig bring a stranger? Yeah, or
are they kind of like work in the kitchen and dining?
It would actually be great I would get pets on the
Yeah.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Heated rivalry.
Haven't seen it yet.
It's the gay hockey smart.
Horny hockey drama.
Which the women are loving at the moment.
It literally dropped like 10 days ago and everyone's just like,
six episodes get it in and now we're like season two, what's happening.
But now it's season two is already underway.
Yep.
People are very excited about what might happen,
what's going to happen to the main characters, Shane and...
You're watching it.
It's on your list.
It's on my list.
I will watch it and I'll watch it in a day.
Right.
You know?
How many episodes?
How long are the episodes?
Six episodes.
Okay.
An hour, I think, maybe.
Each.
Yeah, but I'm more...
I'm just looking it up on IMDB here, Haley.
I'm seeing two apparently naked men sitting atop each other.
Oh, Vaughn, Dulling.
This may shock you.
It's super gay and it's super horny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of the stars was talking about how he spent most of his...
time on set on his hands and knees,
you know.
Oh my God,
because he couldn't skate
and he was just learning to skate
as the sort of show.
Yeah, he was like ice skating.
He was like, boom,
would fall down in his hands and knees.
It's slippery out here.
But these actors have gone from
like nobody knew them.
So they said it was really disarming.
Like they were just like,
what the hell?
Hudson Williams and Connor Story.
They are the two that play the two leads.
Yeah.
The gay naked.
Yeah.
banging hockey leads.
I'm just looking here.
Hudson, Wilson, Korean mother, Dutch, Canadian father.
Kilda?
Yeah, he's hot.
They're both hot.
Which is why we watch it.
This show wouldn't work if they were Mingers.
If they were Mingers, absolutely, wouldn't.
Do people not like watching Mingers make out?
Apparently not.
No, it's not as hot.
It's not as marketable.
That's why he's got one view and it's himself.
And it's him.
Just checking the video uploaded.
I keep looping it, but they're on to me.
They know it's me.
If everybody else can just go and watch it, please, I was hoping to retire.
They're like same IP.
We're not giving that any more than one view.
I'm sorry about that.
So they were saying, Hudson and Connor were saying,
that they had to learn in 30 days what most actors learn over the course of five years.
Basically, like the time it generally takes for a young actor to do a number of roles
and then become famous.
Wow.
And they were saying, and within 30 days, they went from zero to like a thousand.
Yep.
Right.
Why are you tickling?
Well, I've just had a message through for.
our friend Mike, a gay.
A no and homosexual.
A homosexual.
He did rivalry.
Mike's not gay?
Mate, he's a trading.
No, he's got a husband born.
We went to the wedding.
That's a spank made, Matt.
Oh, oh no, no.
Mike is our gay trading.
Here's his review of heated rivalry.
Heated rivalry, I will say, it was effing shit right up until the last 10 minutes of the season
where I decided it was okay.
Otherwise, it was quite a punishing.
What happens in those last 10 minutes?
It is, I've only seen half, I think
I've seen three or four reps, it's quite
cheesy, like, I mean, it's not,
it's, yeah.
These books, like, these books are written
to be easily
digestible, little kind of
tacky things, you know, I saw
the housemaid last night,
I'm going to talk about it later, but it's like that kind of
genre of book,
you know, they are easily digestible, this is an art,
Mike.
You know, this is a gay hockey porn.
But these two, the lead actors have just gone so famous.
So they said like shot to success over the course of 30 days, a complete like pressure cooker.
And it's been like shocking for them.
Complete loss of privacy discomfort with paparazzi attention.
But usually like that would grow in your life.
Yeah, like you might do a small movie and you get a little bit of exposure to fame.
And then you do another big movie, but you're a smaller role.
These two are just like, who are they?
Boom.
Because they were at the Emmys, right?
And everybody was like.
They'd be producing a lot, Golden Globes and Milan Fashion Week and that kind of.
of stuff.
Yeah.
I just,
I just searched my name on Porn Hub.
I'm broadcasting from home,
so this is my computer,
I'm allowed.
I got nervous.
Are you on it?
I've never been on Porn Hub on a desktop.
It looks different.
Can you search my name,
or would that be sort of damning evidence?
I searched my name, nothing.
No, because when they'll search your name
and the people will be like,
well, people are looking for this,
so they'll make it with AI.
Really?
No, I don't know.
Can they make me, like, snatched?
I was going to say, like, how good is AI?
Well, the apps are out there, Haley, they can do that.
Yeah, deep fake me.
Do you want to search your name or not?
Is that not what you want me in?
No, no, I just think the less I know the better.
I'm going to search Fletcher's.
I'm going to search Fletcher.
No, no, there's probably something there.
Don't, don't.
Someone the other day told me I'd look like, uh...
Yeah, you do.
Who do I?
Johnny Sins.
I was like, no, I don't.
And they like showed me, and I was like, not really, but okay.
Play Z-N's, Fletchhorn and Haley.
From the Fletch Born and Haley.
Daily group chat, this is the top six.
Well, it's been announced that November 7 is going to be the election day this year.
Always a Saturday, always, you know, later in the year.
This was predicted by many pundits that it would be this Saturday because it's pretty much
as late in the year as you can go until people start getting too busy.
Also, last time, I feel like in every election, more and more people just vote early.
It's so much easier.
Do it at the supermarket.
You could do it at the supermarket.
at the mall. I like the, I like the, um, festivities of election day. Me too. Yeah. I like the, uh, the, the,
the pomp and ceremony. Yes. No. Ways. Going to the little booths. Do it. And guessing and being in
the line and guessing what the other people are voting, who the other people are voting for. I know.
Exercising my right as a citizen of New Zealand. I love it. But I know you've done, you did it early
last time. Yeah, because there's no lines. You just go and do it and then it's done.
It's a great social occasion. Right. Well, I've got the top six reasons in November 7 is a bad election.
date. Number six on the list. Too close to Christmas.
What? Too close to Christmas.
Is it, though? It's too close to Christmas.
Actually, November 7th is about... You're not going to be in the departure lounge.
We're getting ready to, you know, check out for the year.
I normally get in the departure lounge by August and do as little work as possible.
We come back from our mid-year break in August on is a painful slob. We've just got to get to Christmas.
Guys, it's January, by the way, so let's just not get into that mindset too quickly.
I'm in the East to Departure Lounge now.
I've departure.
Oh, have you?
For Easter.
Okay.
I'm literally looking for Easter now.
I've got a hot cross bun in the oven right now just because, you know, that's how Easter.
I really am for Easter break.
Number five on the list of the top six reasons.
November 7 is a bad election date.
I'll be, and I guess many people will be recovering from fireworks burns.
Oh, yeah.
Shit, actually.
And they'll be fresh.
You joke, but they will be.
Yeah, people will be.
It's hard to tick who you want to vote for when your hands are burnt because you held too long onto a Roman candle and exploded in your hands like a bloody idiot.
Well, you could hold that orange felt.
marker in your mouth.
Yep.
It's got to be very careful
you don't accidentally
drop it on David Seymour's box.
Oh shit.
Yeah, if you're dropping it from a
height, you've got to
aim for the right box.
I'd just be careful not to drop anything
on David Seymour's box.
Number four on the list of the top six reasons
November 7 is a bad election date.
It's Lord's 30th birthday.
Is it?
What?
Can you believe?
Wait, can you believe Lord is going to be 30?
On the election day this year?
That's wild.
On the election day this year.
November 7 is our Lord and Savior
birthday.
Right.
And she's going to be 30.
30.
When she was like 16.
Yes, they do.
Wow.
That's crazy.
Okay.
Number three on the list of the top six reasons, November 7th is a bad election date.
I just checked the weather.
It's still going to be raining.
It's just not going to stop between now and then.
So we're going to likely need snorkeling gear.
Wait, it's not going to stop raining.
It's not going to stop raining until Christmas.
Great.
Yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six reasons, November 7th, a bad election date.
In 2016, in 2016,
November 7 was the day that Leonard Cohen died, you know,
and it seems wrong.
We should all be at home singing that hallelujah song that he soon.
Great, great reference for.
Great, topical reference.
Perfect for a station with the demographic of young females.
Yeah, the Lord won perfect.
This one.
Not so perfect.
A legend, no doubt, but no.
Terrible reference.
I almost feel like making him come up with another on the spot.
Actually, we're scrapping that one.
Come up with another one on the spot.
Yeah, the Leonard Cohen celebrations.
Yes.
No. No. Number one on the list of the top six reasons.
I feel like that's why that made it that was as stretch as it was.
Yeah.
You always, I always put, the stretch is number two.
Well, question, you're already going to listen to the show in the number six.
Number two is often a stretch.
The stretch shouldn't be at number two.
A stretch should be at number four.
No, you always start.
November 7th is Christian Feast Day.
Now that's a sitter.
You've missed that.
Because we'll be too busy feasting of Christians.
We'll be too full. We'll be too full to waddle down to the booths.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it's Christian Feast.
It's Christian Feast Day.
So number two on the list of the top six reasons November 7 is a bad election date.
It's Christian Feast Day, so we'll be eating Christians and we'll be too full.
Oh, I love the top six.
Yeah.
And number one on the list of the top six reasons, November seven's a bad election date.
It's Hug a Bear Day.
So large, hairy gay men will be too busy being hugged.
They won't be able to get to the election.
Their arms will be pinned at their sides.
Do you mean gay bears or bear bears?
Like fuzzy, furry, rip your face off bears?
Well, no.
But you're still describing.
both.
Yeah, yeah, true.
Got to approach a bit carefully.
No.
Apparently not the animal.
Okay, right, okay.
Oh, right, okay.
I hadn't considered the soft toy until now that I'm reading it out loud.
I assumed it was just find a sort of a large, hairy gay man and get a little squeeze.
Okay, lovely.
That is today's top six.
The ZM Podcast Network.
Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
Well, Harry Stiles announced that he's going to be making, he's dropping new music.
And so it's Saturday, New Zealand time, or late Friday, or it might just come early.
Maybe.
No, but apparently he's been doing listening parties already because we all have to wait, like plebs.
And he's been doing some listening parties, just dropping them off to little locations.
There's one coming up in London in a couple of hours.
There's one here, da-da-da-da.
And people have been sharing online their reaction, their first response to the song.
Guys, it was insane, insane, insane.
Absolutely insane.
It was like techno and like we belong together and I won't see too much.
It was a little dance boogie song.
I can see it in a little club.
It needs to be in the next heated rivalry season.
Perfect.
Oh my gosh.
So good.
I love this.
You literally look like your face hurts.
It was like one of the best songs ever.
One of the best songs ever.
So a lot of people saying it's kind of disco or 70s.
Mimes?
So then we've been hunting for a little
Clippy Whippy of it
But we don't think that what we've found is it
No
But if it'd be a lot of people
Were saying like it's not disco
It's like slow glittery
70s funk and we're like that's
Disco
That's disco
That's disco
Well it sounds like the beeges
Is he doing the Beegeys?
I don't know if he's doing the Beeges
I hope not
Producer Carwin
You said that your friend was privy to a little pre-listen
Oh my gosh, yes.
So she's in Sydney and they all raced down to this, what's called, venue that said that this is where it was.
And only, like, a certain amount of people actually got selected.
So there were all these fans lined up.
She got there.
She's like, I'm not going to make it, whatever.
And then this lady came down the line and was like, you, you're in.
Oh, were they choosing only hot people?
I hate when that happens.
Maybe.
Why do you hate when that happens?
Or because I don't.
I never get in.
I never get in.
Oh.
Oh.
Just why I don't bother going to clubs.
To declare up.
Yeah.
And I wear white shoes.
What did your, what did you, and you wear the white shoes and those big, like, buckles on your,
yeah, I know.
And I've got a gang, um, tat.
Yeah, I, I did say, maybe don't wear your patch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what did your friends say to you?
She loved it.
She's a big hairy girl like me.
So I think sometimes when you first listen to a song.
I thought you said she's a big hairy girl like me.
She's a big hairy girl like me.
I was like, don't you be so hard on yourself.
Oh, you believe me.
Wow.
But I think that, like,
All the time when we have a first listen,
we're going to be a little biased, right?
We're going to be like this lapse.
But I think it will.
I have faith in it.
I don't think he's going to do us dirty.
The last couple of albums have been incredible.
He's had enough time, you know?
This is the thing.
He's had enough time.
Do you reckon when he's been running his marathons,
he's been listening to his own new album?
Totally.
Fine tuning and whatnot?
All I'm saying is I said on this radio show last year,
he needs to stop running around
and running around with girls and run into the studio,
and look what he did.
Do you think you've called this album?
I think it was me.
He was listening to the podcast.
I hear what you're saying though, Carmen,
and I say this with love and respect to the Swift days,
but it is that thing when Taylor Swift dropped her new album
and everyone was really such a fan
that they tried to convince himself,
but it was like her best album year.
But we know that it wasn't.
Wow.
We've got to get into the logistics of the Smear campaign
that was created by A.I. for her.
No, we don't have time.
But I also think that Harry won't let us down in this way.
No. So Friday are the,
first listen
of Friday night
Friday, UK.
I think on 1pm our time.
Okay, great.
On Saturday.
No, no, no, Friday because it's
midnight but it's midnight turning into Friday.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Yes, okay, all right, great.
If you like Carwin or a big hairy girl,
you get your ears ready for that song.
The ZN Podcast Network.
Well, my therapist told me yesterday
the reason I'm feeling so depressed at the moment
is because it's raining.
And that everyone is feeling this way
and it's getting us down because this should be our summer.
Philip Duncan from Weather Watch joins us.
Philip, what's going on?
Yeah, morning, everyone.
Yeah, we had a tropical low come through
and bringing all that tropical rain with it,
the humidity, the wind,
not everyone's had the heat.
And now the low is going to actually sit
between the South Island and the Chatham Islands
right through until the start of next week.
And that placement is going to bring in more wind,
especially around the North Island,
and a cold change coming through
starting tomorrow and going into the weekend.
Sorry, just checking, Philip, it is summer.
It is.
And what I keep saying to people, I've said this for years,
New Zealand is basically two mountainous islands
halfway between the equator and Antarctica,
so anything can happen.
We're not always like Australia where it's hot for six months.
We go into ups and downs all the time,
and it's all about high pressure,
and if there's no high pressure around,
we get stuff like this.
So what are we looking at here?
Another week or so of this kind of weather?
Possibly through till the start of next week.
The low is actually getting deeper and stronger.
And that's quite normal.
When it transitions for being a tropical system to a colder system,
they deepen and they get bigger.
And so it's going to be around for a while east of the country
and high pressure is out over Tasmania, Australia.
And so we're in the middle of it all, the squash zone.
So we're not under the storm.
we're in between the storm and the next big high
and that makes it windy and colder in that setup.
Philip, this is bullshit.
This is utter and complete bullshit.
Philip, people are standing on their roofs in some parts of the country
waiting to be rescued.
It's insane.
The good news is next week we do expect high pressure to come back in again
so we will have summer weather returning next week.
There's also a heat wave in Australia
and by Wednesday, Thursday some of that warmth
will hopefully find its way over towards us.
Okay, so we've got one, you reckon like seven more days
and then we might get to put our jandals back on?
It may be earlier than that.
I mean, it's still around on Monday,
but sort of around Tuesday, it looks as though that's when it drops away.
It's not going to be entirely warm everywhere.
If you're in the southern part of the country,
it could still be some colder changes or cooler changes next week.
But what we do see going into February is more high pressure coming into New Zealand.
So we're not done with summer,
but it is one of those summers where it's,
just a bit up and down. Right. So you reckon like long-term
Feb could be a lot nicer and calmer? Yeah, except at the same time that I'm saying that.
Here we go, there was an asterisk.
Come on. On the 31st of January, we expect high pressure over New Zealand,
but it's not a very powerful high, and north of it up around Fiji and Tonga.
There's a tropical load. Now, I'm not saying that's coming to us,
but there's a lot of energy in the tropics. There's a lot of energy south of the country.
But we do expect to see more of these high pressure zones coming into New Zealand.
So summer is not over, but it's just a little broken at the moment, I guess, you could say.
Broken.
Summer's broken.
I'll repeat myself from my earlier statement, this is bullshit.
What's your advice, Philip, to those who still have kids at home for the school holidays
that are just sat inside in the rain?
Zootopia too, I think, Haley.
I think that's what I'm doing today.
Yeah, I would buy a TV, get a cheat TV and stick it in a room and put the kids in there with the Netflix on.
Close the door.
Wow.
I mean, it is.
It's an indoors few days ahead, but, you know, there's still going to be drier weather coming in.
And if you're in the east or the very top of the country where we've had some of the worst rain,
we will see some drier weather coming in, but the wind is going to be around,
and it might be just a little bit colder, especially in the South Island going into tomorrow and Saturday.
Yeah.
That's a friend in the South Island had their firelit.
Not surprised.
And, you know, we're seeing low temperatures coming through.
There's going to be a dusting of snow on the mountains going into the wind.
weekend.
So, I mean, it's not.
This is wild.
This is bullshit.
But his perspective, a year ago, this time a year ago,
there were frosts in Southland.
So we do get these cold changes.
It's not, it's not always hot, hot, hot
every single day forever.
We do get cold changes, but I hear you.
It is this bullshit.
Here it is.
I'm glad he got it. He gets it.
Philip, thank you so much for
your insights. Yeah, we did promise that
we'll get you on when we're celebrating nice weather,
just that you don't look like such a, you know.
A doones sayer.
Yeah, dude.
You're not blaming me.
Yeah.
I appreciate you're not blaming me.
Yeah.
That's it.
But you're right, Vaughn we should.
A nice sunny stretch of weather.
Just get Philip on, say thanks for the nice sunshine and then just hang up.
Little flip-bast.
Yeah, really boring interview, but yeah.
Yeah.
I tell you what, I take boring over bullshit right now, Philip.
Weatherwatch.com.com.
Philip Duncan, thank you so much.
Play Z-N's Flashhorn and Haley.
Taylor Swift Errors documentary.
I still haven't seen it, but I would like to watch her.
But, you know, it's.
behind the scenes look of that
legendary tour.
And the Swifties
are like they're just looking for everything.
Like what's she wearing there? What lipstick did
she put on there? What thing did she do? What's she eating?
What was she drinking? They've spotted
a bottle of wine that she was drinking on the
Erez tour. It was a bottle
of Sanchez by the Tare Blanche de Vana.
Okay. Yeah. I don't know. I was just going to
Is it a white? Is it a red? Is it a bubble?
She strikes me
as a white, a white wine.
Yeah, I can't tell what it is.
Would it be a chardonnay?
It's not a sparkle.
Do you reckon she'd be a sav drinker?
I think it's a white.
I think it's a white.
I'm just looking at the picture of it.
Right.
Well, blanche.
Yeah, blanche means white.
So yeah, it's a $40 a bottle, American.
So we're talking, that's a hefty.
Yeah, that'd be, what, 60 bucks?
That's a fancy.
That's a nice wine for a special licasia.
Well, they've completely sold it out because they've just...
Do you think it's got a gold sticker on it at the supermarket?
Do you think it's one of the new World Wine Awards?
It could be.
Yeah, it could be.
Big wine awards.
Yeah, so they've completely sold it out and they're calling it Swiftinomics,
which is when Taylor Swift says something's good and we just buy it and it just goes, boom.
But also, was this just part of her writer in the dressing room?
Like some tour company just went to the supermarket, got a bottle and she's like,
I'll drink that because I said I wanted, I don't know, sad, white wine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
Like, she might not even like it.
But if you, I don't know.
But if you are Taylor Swift, of course, when you're having a pre-show wine,
It's a $60 bottle of wine.
Yeah.
Not a $15.
No.
Rickadonna.
Or a 25 down to 15 or 18.
Oh my God.
By the way, iconic behaviour from your mother, Vaughan.
Yeah.
When she had the Rickadonna.
Oh yeah.
Mum pulled out at the beach at our family holiday.
She pulled out one of her final bottles of Asty Riccadonna
because she stockpiled up when they said they weren't going to make it anymore.
So good.
Yeah, because they're not making any sweet sparkling wine anymore.
And other brands.
And she loves her.
Rooka Donna and she opened it and my
it was vinegar my man like
it was bubbly vinegar and she's like
I think it's okay and she took a milk
and she was like it's fine
I was like my please don't drink it
yeah six dollar bottles of wine
are meant to be kept for 10 years
yeah it doesn't get better with age
I'm telling you no no it does it
well I want to know what did you buy
lovely listener what did you buy
because of a celebrity because you saw
them wear it you saw them use it
you saw them endorse it you saw them
on Instagram using something or
And bonus points if you bought it, and it was crap.
It was, you know, rubbish.
Yeah.
I mean, there's going to be a few people out there that thought that they were going to lose 10Ks by wrapping a waist trainer around their waist because Kylie Jenna told us to do it, you know?
Yeah, it turns out you've got to stop eating the pies.
It's the pies all along.
It's the pies all along.
And the cakes and the ice cream.
Yeah.
With the waste trainer.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, yeah.
You've got to do the whole lot.
Have I bought something for sure?
like definitely
I mean I'll do it all the time
I'll see someone wear something
like an influence and be like what are those shoes
what are those boots Google image search
find that buy that oh that's more expensive
but I'm here now add to cart
buy now shipping
see you soon yeah
and then you get it you're like that was so knee jerk
yeah and I can't believe
how easily I can be influenced
yeah well that's why they call them influences
isn't I okay I'm back in the day
I influenced many people towards a hello fresh box
you know
during my one video I did for them
Okay, 0,800,000 M is our number.
We want you to give us a call now.
You can text through 9-6-9-6.
What did you buy because of a celebrity?
Well, Taylor Swift has sold out of wine
because people saw her drink that wine in her documentary.
It's called Taylor Economics, Taylor Economics.
Taylor, yeah.
Because anything she touches turns to gold, basically.
We want to buy what she has.
I want to know what you bought because of a celebrity.
You saw them wearing it.
I was struggling to think of something
and a celebrity had influenced me to buy.
but then I remembered those Doc Martins I purchased
because of Timothy Shalamee.
Shalalamelelelema.
Shalahlemae.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And everyone always comments on those docks.
They roll.
Because they're canvas black.
He had canvas, like, army green ones.
Yeah.
And he was going through like an airport security
and he just took a photo in the tray
and I was like, those are cool docks.
Yeah.
And then...
What size foot Timothy Shalamee has?
He gives...
Little foot.
He gives little...
Is he little?
Oh, no.
I was going to say like he gives like skinny,
white dude energy.
You know, like...
whopping feet.
Well, you're on wiki feet.
I'm sure, he's 5'10.
Is he?
Apparently a shoe size of 9.
I go, standard.
I'm always jealous of people with
size 9 shoes because, like,
I'm size 12 and they just look like clown shoes
all the time.
All right, yeah, but come on.
But you know what that means.
Comes with other connotations.
Big socks, big socks.
Massive socks. You do a separate sock wash
because your socks are so huge.
Elizabeth, good morning.
Morning, guys. How are we?
Really good, thanks.
Now, what did you buy because of a celebrity?
Okay, so I did the whole J-Lo fad where J-Lo was wearing big red baggy pants.
Yes.
She had the most amazing figure.
She still does.
Yes, she does.
I was in my teenage years at high school, and I had to have these red baggy jeans or baggy pants.
Yeah.
And the only place that sold them was Hellenstein's, now being female, going into Hellenstein's, different.
But they only had a size large, and I was insistent.
I needed these red baggy pants.
So my dad bought them, and I would have been a size four.
I swam in these red baggy pants.
And did you look like Jailo?
In my eyes, I totally did.
Yeah.
Okay, wow.
Yeah, right.
Do we have any photos of you in these large baggy pants?
Yeah, no.
No, they've all been burnt or deleted.
Burned or deleted.
Elizabeth, thank you.
Some messages in.
Someone shopped from Courtney Kardashian's baby must have range.
Don't regret it all.
My stroller is straight up a transformer.
It sounds expensive, though.
It does.
If Courtney Kardashian's buying it.
Somebody said, I got neon because you lot kept harping on about the TV shows on neon.
Well, they do have all the great shows because they've got all the HP.
stuff.
You have influenced.
Watch the pit until midnight last night.
It's so good.
I've actually had a few messages because we talked earlier in the week about the TV
shows we're watching.
A couple of messages from people say, what was that show you were talking about?
Yeah, the season two of the pit is out.
One best drama, best actor, best supporting actor at the Emmys.
And you've got to watch the chair company.
Yeah.
Also, just kudos to you for managing to stop at midnight.
You know, midnight's that time where you're like, can I do what?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Like one is basically midnight at this point.
One a.m. I'm going to feel the same, so I'll do one more.
Also, the pit is a hard show to sleep after because it's so insanely intense that you need a bit of relaxation time before sleep.
Another message here, I'm 50. I love, love Ireland. I bought the moo-moie-moohy sunglasses for $900.
The moo-moie-mooh. The moo-moie-moly.
That's how it said.
How is it said?
Mu-mu-moo.
Mu-mu-mu.
Why, they got the eye on there then?
It's not a Māori company.
Mu-mui-mui.
Having walked through a lot of airport duty-free areas in the last month,
I've seen a lot of Miu-Mu-Mu-Mu-Sau.
Are they back or something?
Yeah, M-Mu-Mu-Mu-Mu-A.
I thought it left.
I thought it had its day.
Do you remember my Mui-Muis?
Gawin had them.
Did you get some Mui-Muis?
I had, but the big ones, they were very big sunglasses.
Something tells me these were.
Yeah, they were.
They were.
Absolute penis.
900 bucks for a pair of Luey.
You know, they were from Thailand, Haley.
They weren't $900.
No, I was on.
Very low income.
I spent a lot of money on those sunglasses, thank you very much.
Someone said...
Someone said that they bought the sauvage because of Johnny Depp.
Oh, yeah.
Deer Savage.
Also, he's still doing that campaign.
I would have thought they would have dropped that.
I guess they paid a lot of money.
They're like, well, we've paid the money.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I bought an espresso capsules after I saw George Clooney using them.
You would, though, wouldn't you?
Well, yeah, he's a...
Anything, George...
But then Brad Pitt does the other one, doesn't he?
Yeah, I know. I wonder if that's a little bit of a stiffery.
What does he do?
Yeah, I wonder if they're kind of coffee rivals.
Does he do Macona?
No.
Is Brad Pitt?
He does Greg.
He does Greg's red ribbon rot.
He does fags roast.
Hello, I'm Brad Pitt and I drink fags coffee.
I drink fags roast.
I went to a hairdress room in London.
Wait, is that still a coffee, Brad?
Yeah, it is.
Is it?
I would have thought they would have got rid of that name.
No.
You can get all word.
Fags coffee filters
$5 and $3.
Hello, I'm Brad Pitt.
And when I wake up in the morning, I drink fags.
I haven't said it once.
It's a coffee brand, it's 2 G's by the way.
It's 2 G's.
It's.
Two G's.
I bought a, I went to a hairdresser in London.
Hasn't said it but had giant moomoo sunglasses.
Okay.
What are you saying?
The mumo sunglasses almost give me a right to use the F word.
How do you, sir?
I saw Perry from Little Mix go to a hairdresser in London.
London. The price list on the website looked reasonable, but somehow ended up walking out with
500 pound of soils.
No!
When I was earning 25,000 pound a year, many of been on toast was consumed that month, crawling
to payday. That is 1,000 New Zealand dollars.
Yeah.
That's absurd. I know women's hair is expensive, but Jesus.
I bought a KKW liquid lipstick set. Was that Kylie, who was KKW?
Who is KKDAB?
Kylie, Kendall Walker.
Karen Karen Walker
Krispy Cream Walker
Kim Kardashian West
Yeah Kim Kardashian West
I don't even wear makeup
They got thrown out in the most recent
Spring Clean but at the time I was very excited to receive that beige box
Yeah got that influence
Influencing our sea celebs aren't they

Any time actually
Yeah, anytime.

Play ZDM's Fletch, Forne and Haley.
Wow.
Here I was.
Missing Summer.
Thinking that's a big thing to deal with.
I've just heard from my mother,
who's recently returned to the country.
Yeah.
And their bloody Ute got stolen from Hamilton Airport
while they were away.
Oh, my.
Let's bust some crimes, New Zealand.
Let's bust some crimes.
So they parked, did a park and ride basically.
The long-term parking, that's so cute, Haley, that you think Hamilton Airport needs a park and ride?
No, I just realized it as I said it, that is unnecessary.
My mother received the following correspondence from Karen at Hamilton Airport.
It is with regret I advise you of an incident that occurred in the early hours of this morning, the 21st of January.
Ford Courier Ute, license plate, DQT-98, which we believe belongs to you, was stolen from our longstay,
Park B.
Just taken.
It's been reported to the police.
It's under investigation.
Here's the reference number.
The CCTV footage has been collated and provided to the police.
Wow.
You can contact them directly.
I have a question.
Did they just leave the parking ticket in the car?
And did the robbers have to pay the exit for the barrier arm?
Or did they just smash through it?
These questions that don't have answers to.
The first one, I'm assuming they're my parents.
So they probably popped in the ashtray, as we all do.
Yeah, I pop it in the little cup holder if I get a parking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Same.
I never take it with me.
No.
Yeah. So Dad's Ute is a silver 2006.
Ford, I think it's called a utility, an LTD, utility, a Ford Courier.
It's one of those ones with one and a half doors, Fletch.
You've been in it.
I've been in it.
Remember I got it fine for driving in the bus lane in it?
And I wrote to the people saying, sorry I'm a country bumpkin.
I was in town check where my address is registered to, and we got off.
And we got them.
We pulled one over the Auckland Council.
I'll tell you what, it felt good.
Surely they have video footage, though, at the barrier arm coming out.
Well, that's what they said they've got video footage.
It's gone to the police.
Oh, they'll find it.
Well, let's...
So, did this just happen literally overnight tonight or last night?
Last night.
This is wild.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, their car got stolen.
This is wild, eh?
This is really, like, how, from an airport?
Yeah, that's so audacious.
Audacious.
What a great word.
Yeah.
It is audacious.
Are we putting out on APB?
Are we putting out like they do on the rookie?
Putting out an APB.
We're going to an APB, everybody, in Hamilton.
Right now, if you're following a 2006 silver Ford Courier,
flat deck, because he's a farmer.
It's a yute.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
It's a flat deck.
It's a timber flat deck.
It's a timber flat deck.
Yeah, okay.
I love that.
Someone just messaged in Ford Courier, old school.
A bit of respect.
He's an old school boy.
He's an old school boy.
He's a Ford man, isn't he too.
Growing up, it's while we grew up, like, I've always lived on the farm.
My dad's been in.
a farmer as long as I've known him.
He never treated himself to a Ute until like the kids had left home.
And now someone's nicked it.
And he's treated himself to a Ute and he's had one Ute and he said to him the other day.
I said, Dad, you know, I'm a North Harbor Ford ambassador.
I could upgrade this U, we could get an upgrade on this Ute.
Yeah.
What do I need to upgrade a Ford, a 2006 Ford Courier for?
These things will drive forever.
And now someone's pinched it.
Well, no, he's right.
They will drive forever just with someone else.
Someone else behind the wheel.
So somebody said at Hamilton Airport, if the parking has prepaid,
the barrier opens itself, detect a,
the plate number. Oh no. So it's just an absolute free-for-all there. Because they want you to
prepay the parking and it's always cheaper when you prepay the parking right. Yeah, it is.
Yeah. Economically it makes sense. Right. Okay, well, if you're driving around now and the car in
front of you is a silver Ute, a Ford Ute, what's the license plate born? We're going to need you
to call this in. DQT-9-8. Yeah. Think of like Dicuties. DeCutie. That's us. We are
decutti. Yeah. Oratious crimes. Ordasious crimes.
Absolutely.
It's just, yeah, I can't believe it.
Yeah.
Karen, if you're listening, Karen at Hamilton Airport,
we want the video footage too,
because we want to see this mongrel.
Yeah, we could face, recognize.
I'm sure it's a small country.
They don't release criminal footage anymore.
Anyone, because it's all the privacy.
They don't deserve privacy.
I know.
I know they don't deserve privacy,
but a lot of places don't release the footage to the public.
But we want to lynch.
I know.
We want to form a mob.
And we want to do so.
This is unbelievable.
Well, if you're driving around Hamilton and you see a silver ute with that license plate,
call it in.
DQT,
yeah, absolutely.
DQT, 98.
Because poor Ian, he won't like a new yute.
He'll take so long to adjust to a new yute.
They're so large.
Yeah, I know.
Wow.
They don't like change.
Okay, well.
Do we need to send flowers or something, you know, like to the home?
Yeah, I think we could send some flowers.
Thinking of you.
on this day.
We'll send the flowers
they'll arrive via courier
and then they'll remember the Ford courier
yurt they got stolen
and they'll get up seat.
Yeah.

I call my parents babe,
you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, remember we could,
my whole family calls each other babe.
But in general I'd refer to them
as mum and dad.
Yeah, same.
Mum and dad.
Mama sometimes,
but babe.
And,
Vaughn, your kids call you
Papa?
August.
calls me Papa and I call her Baba.
Cute.
So that's just...
Yeah, live in the Austrian Alps or something.
Papa, yes, Papa.
Papa, Mama,
Mama, Dad, Mum, they're sort of classic
parental names.
Producer Shannon, what do you call your mum and dad?
Bevan Colley.
I cannot tell you
when I stopped calling them Mum and Dad.
I think it was when I was about
five or six years old. It was very, very young.
That is so wild. It's so formal.
It was just... Because they're my friends.
And I would always refer to them as their names, Bevan Colley.
Well, his name's Colin, but I call him Colley.
And so much so that I was at a friend's house when I was a kid.
And I was like, oh, yeah, Bevan Collie are coming to get me later.
And she sat me down and said, don't be so disrespectful.
Like, this is so rude of you.
And she called my mum and was like, she's called you Bev.
And Bev's like, yeah, how lovely.
She's my friend.
I'm not her mom.
Definitely in the 90s, 2000s, eh?
Like, I remember my mum, but would be aghast at people that called their parents by their first name.
So just respectful.
your friends parents, we always called
Mrs. Pickett, I've known her my whole life, her name's
gay, I can't call her that, I've got to call her
Mrs Pickett when I see her. Mrs. Pickett. But none of
my, none of my
daughter's friends call me Mr. Smith.
I'm like, no, no, no. What do they call you for you?
I'm Vaughn. How rude?
How rude? Okay, yeah, right.
Right. And so you've done it
from a young age, because it's like, I, sometimes
as a joke, I'll call my mum Patsy and Craig.
No, it's just always, they've just
been my friends, Beav and Collie. That's their
title. Yeah. Do you reckon Shannon,
your parents had kids and then we're just like, oh no.
Probably.
I mean, do you mean personally because I start or like...
No, no, no, no.
We weren't ready for this.
Let's just treat them like little flatmates.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We hang out, we party and like, you know,
I started partying quite young and drinking and all that.
So I think, yeah, it was just like Bev and Collie, my friends.
That's so what?
But maybe it's not that you called them by their name.
Maybe there's a nickname that you call your name.
that you call your parents?
Like what is it that you call them?
Yeah, there's always like Mimi or Mo Mo or...
Yeah, just any...
I want to know, I call my mum Helen
because I can't stand her, someone said...
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Helen has lost mum privileges.
Wow, okay.
So they're angry at them.
They've gone full name.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, this is what I want to know from you this morning.
Oh, 800 dial ZDM, text 966.
What do you call your parents?
Producer Shannon calls her mom by their first name.
names always has since she was a little little girl.

That's maybe a little bit off the beaten track.
Yeah, not just mum or dad.
Yes.
Lots of messages in.
So many.
Some mean, some not.
I call my dad Gary when he's an idiot.
His name's Jeff.
Okay, Gary.
Don's for my mum.
I'm guessing that's a donna.
She just calls her dons.
Okay.
Don's?
We call dad Roll on.
Roll on.
He looks like a roll-on deodorant when he puts sunscreen on his head.
Oh, roll on, roll on.
I'm guessing he's bald, right?
I'm guessing he's bald, right?
I'm guessing he's ball.
That's kind of funny.
It's kind of funny.

Just called them by nicknames.
Never called the mum and dad?

Also, they're dead.
They're not.
They literally revisited us.
They're dead.
I call my dad dead because he is and mum.
Mommy and dead.
Mommy and dead.
I'm a New Zealand born Indian.
I used to call my dad Curry.
I don't know if that's...
Is it racist if you're doing it to your own dad?
And you aren't wrong his descent?
I think that's okay.
We'll approve that.
I don't know.
I'm just saying out of that.
We're not really those to approve it.
Yeah.
My male parental unit is referred to as grumpy by us kids and grump dad by the grandkids.
Grump dad.
Old man and old lady.
Yeah.
Is there?
If I'm talking about my dad to somebody else, I'll say, old man Ian.
Yeah.
Because that's how everybody, like, knew him.
But if I'm talking to him, I call him dad.
But how are you going to feel when your kids and their friends start calling you old man Vaughn?
I guess you've got to live up to the name.
Yeah.
You've got to be a grumpy old man.
Yeah, which I'm really looking forward to.
Some other messages in.

Right, yeah, yeah, the mispronunciation is a baby.
That's how lots of grandparents get their names.
Yes, it is.
Because my dad's Gigi to his grandkids, and I had a gangy growing up because that was what we could mum.
Well, I'm very articulate family.
Yeah, like move your tongue, you know.
I do find it weird.
I'm 30 and I still call my mum mummy, which some people find strange.
I had a friend that did that.
Mummy.
I do find it weird.
I don't like it.
Unless you're British, it sounds weird.
Mummy.
Mommy?
No, even that sounds weird.
Mommy, it's too babyish.
Yeah.
I call my dad by his name Graham, which I potentially shouldn't do because of this on one or more occasions
who have been mistaken for a couple rather than a father-daughter.
Yeah, for sure.
Graham!
I call my dad Bampi.
Bampi?
Okay.
That's kind of cute.
But that's a mispronouncingation because of grand-harband.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, like, cute thing and it just sticks, right?
Maja and Faja.
Faja coming from Osse and Baja.
I am your Faja.
A Fajah.

That wasn't German.
What was that?
I'm from Germany.
Hello.
Oh, Moti.
I can't do a German accent.
It wasn't, yeah.
Our mum's name is Debbie.
We call her freckles.

Bring back smacking.
Yeah.
Like you, yeah, but we'll stop, you know.
Did you read the chocolate one?
No.
My dad used to call his dad chocolate because he's Māori, and that was his nickname in the Air Force.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, problematic.
Chocolate.
Problematic.
Yeah.
Problematic.
That one.
I probably shouldn't have read that one out.
No, you're allowed.
I just want to reiterate I am, Māori.
Play Z-N's Flash forne and Haley.
Oh, yeah.
If you see a faded sign at the side of the road
And if you see a faded sign at the side of the road,
Shut up and said 15 miles to a Shannon's hack.
We really probably should record the intro.
Maybe.
Probably should actually record an intro for her.
I didn't realize that the musical bit looped on.
I thought you were the one with the musical talent on the show.
I thought so too, but it's slipping.
Vaughan's broadcasting from home today, so he wasn't able to play that from his YouTube premium.
Thanks to the Christians and family.
Well, no, but we don't need to credit the family plan because you're not.
I'm using my plan, and that's thanks to the Haley Sprow Bank account because I pay for my own premium.
Yeah.
Okay.
She's not leaching off some family, she doesn't know.
Excuse me, I know them. I'm part of their family.
Otherwise, how would I be on their YouTube premium family plan?
Shannon, you've got a hack for...
This is the first Shannon's hack for 2026.
Yeah, I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling inspired for the new year.
I'm feeling stars are many.
Is anyone surprised we...
Kept it going?
It's still going this segment.
Four hours need to make up the content, you know?
Yep.
Do you know what?
It was on the chopping block.
And then the big boss has said, hey, we're going to chuck you on air for one more hour.
And we said, Shannon's hack, baby.
Bring it on for 2026.
Love it. We'll fill our gap
anyway we can. Yeah, anyway.
Yeah. We love them, Shannon.
What's today's theme? A hotel
hack. Oh my God, amazing, because I've been
hoteling around recently. Yeah, and we're
hoteling this weekend. All of us are heading down to
crash church. We're sharing walls
because Fletch and I take umbrage at that.
Maybe we could strategically, like, alternate
the team. Yeah. I don't like it when you check in the, like, great news
guys. We've got you all next to each other.
No, that's not great news for.
anyone. I might want to bring a plus
one home, you know? And I don't think Fletch
nor Vaughan, nor Shannon nor Carwin need to hear
that. I could hear it. The convict, the deep
conversation will have at night. Shannon, yeah.
Shannon would be like, no one wants to hear that.
Shannon's like, what are you
doing? Are you hanging out with that way? It's like cold in Christchurch, eh?
It's crazy.
Just make that headboard
just a little bit off the wall so I really can
feel the vibration. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get a rattle on.
Yeah. No, a hotel hack today.
Isn't it the worst when you're at a hotel and they've got really bad curtains and they don't meet?
Yes.
And it happens every time you're at a hotel.
I don't know how they just manage to screw up every time.
Some hotels and people do this at their house, they have the curtains on different, they go, the curtain goes behind the other curtain.
I love that idea.
I love when they do that.
It's so genius.
It's really smart.
It's really smart.
I love when they do that, but hotels tend not to.
Is Shannon about to Shannon's hack an eye mask?
No.
Or is she about to say?
what I've said on the show like a hundred times
in the past. Probably. Yeah, I think
so. Yeah, she's going to say what I know. Because when you said
this, I was like, Fletch has already said something about
this before, but you go, you go.
I'm not going to rain on your parade yet. Okay.
Well, I was at a hotel with my boyfriend
and he taught me this, so this is a real
hack he uses in the wild.
That man, hotels. He hotels. He's a traveling wizard.
Magician.
Oh, sorry. Because he is a wizard. Does this
require a cauldron and a wand? Because not everybody
has those. He's not a wizard.
He is a wizard. So, what he
does is get the pants
hanger from the ward-jured.
I've said this so many times.
You should have run the fun past me.
Oh no.
Yeah. Oh no.
I mean it's a great hack I'll give you that
because I do it all the time. Finish the hack so you
get the pants hanger with the little claws.
Yeah, a pants hanger and then you clip
the two. I'm embarrassed.
Yeah, we know, Shannon, because Fletch has already told us.
I just like don't really listen
to you that much. Fletch gets five
stars for that hack. Thank you
Vaughn. Thank you.
Oh, it's five stars max.
It's a five stars max for Carl's
Fletcher's hack.
Let's she said this so many times.
We've talked about it on the show, preview it many times.
You guys talk about a lot of things.
Sometimes it's just like, la, la, la, la.
It's just like blurs into one way, wah, wah, wow.
Okay, well.
What do you do if your hotel doesn't have the pants hanger?
Because not every hotel has a pants hanger.
Go to a better hotel.
Whoa, money bags.
If you're traveling a lot, you could take a couple of pegs.
I'd take a couple of pegs.
And then because you can hang up your wands.
washing if you're at an Airbnb or something.
Guys, Lord Fletch, that's another five stars for you.
Thank you. That's ten stars,
total hacks. Thank you. Fletcher's hacks.
Thank you. I'm just on Reddit, my
chosen reliable news source of choice.
Second only to the NZ Herald.
Ding! It's over there.
Yeah, you've got it, you've got it, you've got it. Come on long arms.
Zed Harold mentioned seamless KPI's
tick-tick. I've just got to read it
to look for hotel room hacks, and there's
an abundance.
I don't research my hacks, they search me.
That flight attendant that said, because, you know,
some people put their stuff in a safe and they might forget their passport,
you put one of your shoes in there that you're going to wear to the airport the next day
so that you don't forget it.
Because you're like, where's my other shoe?
Oh, it's in the safe with my passport.
Well, this could be helpful for us in the odd, you know,
the off occasion that I bring a plus one into my hotel room this weekend.
If someone nearby is making you a lot of, is making a lot of noise
in an adjacent room, phone their room and say your reception,
requesting them to turn it down.
Oh, that's a great.
This is reception here.
This is Reception here.
This is Jenny from Reception.
Yeah, we've just had a little bit of a noise complaint.
We're just wondering if you might be able to keep it down.
And then I don't have to be like, oh, Fletch raining on my parade.
Or Shannon's just like, can I come?
Can I come in?

Fact of the day, day, day, day.
A do-d-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do-do do-do do-do do-do do do do do do do do.
It's a tongue-wwork at fact of the day.
And today I want to talk about the human tongue.
One of my favorite things.
That when we start talking about, you can't help but one to feel it in your mouth.
Yeah.
It's too big and it feels really heavy.
It's happened again.
I do genuinely think that my tongue's too big for my mouth
because I always get both rivets on the side from my teeth.
Oh, maybe you do have a bit.
Oh, yeah, it is quite...
Yeah.
It looks quite a wrinkled from biting down.
I love a tongue chew.
Do you guys love a chew on the tongue?
Yeah, better than grinding your teeth.
Sometimes I'll burn my human tongue with hot chips.
Oh, no.
Ouch, yeah.
You know, because I want to eat them real quick
about they're not cold enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You want to blow on that chip.
Sometimes it better get carried away.
How many muscles are in the human tongue?
What?
How many muscles are in the human time?
Eight.
Boom, you nailed it.
Did you know that?
No, I didn't.
That was such a good guess.
That was a really good guess.
You just see how I did that?
Yeah, yeah, you totally did.
Okay, so the tongue is made up of eight interwoven muscles.
This is why I've been telling you guys, I need to go on who wants to be a millionaire.
You should.
You can get money.
Thank you.
Just guess your way.
Just guess your way to a million dollars.
Guessing my way to a million dollars.
Yeah.
Um, is it.
A B.
So,
So there's eight muscles, four intrinsic muscles.
They change the shape, like curling it, flattening it, pointing the tongue.
Can you twist both ways?
No, that's a genetic thing.
You either can or can't.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can twist it up.
I can't twist it down.
Can you do the thing where you twist it into three?
No, the clover.
Well, those people that can like tie a cherry stalk?
Yeah, that's like a genetic thing.
So four intrinsic muscles that change the shape.
and four extrinsic muscles which changed the position.
Forward, back, side to side.
Hmm.
Okay.
You need all eight to be able to do it.
So that lets our tongue do very complicated things.
Such as.
Some tongue examples.
Such as.
Such as.
Such as.
Form speech sounds, manipulate food, initiate swallowing,
clean your teeth.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And detect texture and temperature.
Just then I had to swallow.
Because I was thinking about my tongue,
it didn't want to do what it.
It just does when I don't have to think about it.
And you can get your way through a popsicle too.
An ice block.
You hit an ice cream.
No one likes to tooth a popsicle, eh?
No, I know.
You're a bider of an ice cream.
If you tooth a popsicle, you're a monster.
Yeah.
Fact.
That's facts.
So you swallow up to 2,000 times a day,
and every time it starts with the tongue,
you think about next time you swallow,
which you probably want to do now.
Yep.
With the tongue.
Amazing.
And try doing it without it.
It's amazing.
It shapes the food.
It shapes the food.
When we are eating, you think about you, you, I'm gung, yum, yum, yum, chew with the teeth,
but the tongue shapes it and gets it ready for the throat hole.
The throat hole.
Then it pushes it backwards, truring the swallowing reflex and hands off control to the throat,
and the throat takes it from there.
Amazing.
Wow.
So if you don't, if your tongue fails, your swallowing fails.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
So those people that lose their tongue, either due to like cancer or,
A mobster movie.
The medieval kind of thing or a mobster thing.
How do they swallow?
Well, they can't.
They just tilt their head back and go,
until it falls down.
You've got to eat marsh and water, I guess.
Yeah.
Got a mush.
Yeah, wow.
Just do that until it falls down.
So today's fact of the day is the human tongue
is an intrinsically woven,
miraculous combination of eight different muscles.
Fact of the day, day, day, day.

I saw a 320 movie yesterday.
It was so rainy.
A movie at 3.20 p.m.?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it's so rainy at the moment.
It's sort of feeling a bit like a bit blue
and a bit like, there's nothing to do.
And I was in the general St Luke's area.
And I popped to St Luke's more, and I had a little look around.
I love just going to a morning looking around.
Don't you, Vaughn?
No, I absolutely can't imagine anything worse.
The very thing Vaughan hates the most.
I did.
I had a little look around the shoppers, and then I was on a date.
Okay?
I was on a date.
Wow.
Well, it wasn't a day.
What did you go to the food court and get a butter chicken combo?
Okay, well, let's, okay.
Let's just get into this
because I wanted to talk about the movie
and the etiquette
but he was in the local area
I was in the local area
and then you know
we just like said hello
and had a little kiss
Anyway she's done a U-turn on Love is dead
hasn't she?
It really feels like you've done a U-turner-N-Lover's dead
Yeah yeah exactly
Anyway so we had some Nandoes
Little Nandoes
Yeah yum
Anyway I went to saw the housemaid
which was not quite what I expected it to be.
You know, we were talking about this yesterday,
and Matt Damon was saying that you need to...
You need to...
Explain the plot.
Explain everything all the time.
Yeah, it was very much like that.
Like I had two parts of it.
But it's not a Netflix movie, or it's going to be?
Is it got a cinema release?
No, it's a cinematic release of that.
No, it's a cinematic release.
Right, okay.
I'll say Amanda Seafreed and is really, really great.
Yeah.
And Sidney is super hot.
Is there?
Yeah, yeah.
She's in the movie.
It's super hot.
Okay.
And yeah, it's like it was a fun enjoyable watch.
But here's my issue.
So I'm sat at the back, right at the back, in the middle.
Oh, gross.
You went on a movie date and sat in the back row.
Like what?
You're 14?
So, no, no.
Anyway, so then there's someone to the right.
And she has a bag of chips.
And that's fine.
Like, you're allowed to bring in a bag of chips.
Actually, I'm going to do some folly.
Okay, right.
What, do you just have a bag of chips really?
Oh no, you've got a...
No, I've got a procheemba.
Okay, a rapper.
Yeah.
So she's a bag of chips, and she sits down, and she does what we have all
have to do to get the bag of chips open, right?
She's...
He opens it.
Yeah.
Got it, right?
And then movie starts.
Yeah.
This was her for an hour 20 of the movie.
Chip by chip.
Chip by chip.
Chip by chip.
I was like, listen, Beauch, take a handful, put them on your lap.
Like, this is what we do.
wait for the loud moments.
We'll rip the bag open.
It was slow.
And what it told me was that
she had no self-awareness of the noise
that she was making.
Right.
No self-awareness.
Are we talking a family bag of chips?
Like a big share pack?
I don't know.
It sounded like it wasn't making a little one last.
No, it sounded like it was an endless
jumbo pack of chips.
Just this, the whole film I was losing my mind.
I started like doing that thing.
I was Lening Fort.
Looking right down the aisle like, huh?
Yeah.
It didn't clock me.
She was so invested in that.
these chips.
Honestly, it drove me absolutely nuts.
Oh, that would drive me crazy. No.
I'm just wondering if maybe because of our
Netflix's and our neons and everything that we're
so at home all the time that
you know, we can
we don't go to the movies as often. And we've forgot a movie
etiquette. Yeah, that's true.
Let it remind you. Shut up.
Grab a handful of chips, put them in your
hand and eat them from there. We don't need to be
constantly rustling from the bag.
Also, who's making a packet of chips
or anything in the movies last that long,
I'll finish a bag of Maltese's by the end of the trailers.
Oh, dude, yeah.
Like, I've finished all my snacks by the time
the first two minutes of the movie's done.
Yeah.
If that chock top sees the opening, you know,
Paramount logo or something spinning around,
I've been really deliying on it
and it needs to be gobbled up.
Yeah.
Same.
Like, I didn't know whether to be so annoyed
because she was really ruining my movie watching experience
or impressed, yeah,
because the bag of chips lasted a full hour 20.
Yeah.
On stop rustling.
Took a full curry into that cinema once, that St. Luke's cinema.
Because it did say on it, it did say on it, don't bring an outside food.
Yeah.
But as it's not outside if it's a food court, that's inside.
You haven't gone outside.
You haven't picked up that food, gone outside to then go inside.
You've been inside the whole time.
So you've brought in a Shamirorama.
What's the place?
Shamiara.
Yep.
The mall curry place.
Well, that mall's got a Kmart.
You could take in a, um, uh, uh, uh,
tiny kids bicycle.
Sorry, someone's just been
taking anything and you want.
You just cycle around watching the movie
from your tricycle.
But it didn't say no outside bikes, did it?
Right, no, didn't.
Said no outside food.
Someone's just message in asking
if my irritation is menstrual cycle
related. No, not at all.
I'm day 22.
There's nothing.
No, it's this.
It could be weather-related.
Fletch, you are free of a mental cycle.
Imagine this.
Yeah, that's horrible.
What did you think of the movie?
Out of 10.
Well, she said it was all right.
It's number three at the New Zealand box office behind Zootopia 2 and Avatar.
Look, it's definitely a flick for the chicks.
What's that?
Is what I'll say?
Okay.
Some fun moments and some overwritten moments.
But I enjoyed it.
Wow.
And...
I'd love to see this.
I'd love to see you make a movie.
Well, maybe you will.
When's your movie coming out for you're so good at writing movies?
I can't say.
But when my movie does come...
I'm out.
None of that.
None of that.

Today's silly little pole.
Are you currently using weight loss
drugs?
We're talking your wig ovies,
your Monjaro's.
OZempex.
OZempex.
I see their, it's about to
become pill form as well.
I think I read
an article about the US trial
or a releasing pill form?
Rather than the jib jab.
Yeah, because that's a problem.
A lot of people don't want to jab themselves.
Put people off.
Yeah.
Right.
Well, are you currently using them?
Overwhelmingly, people said no.
93% of people said no.
Okay.
But the other options were yes,
and I'm open about it,
or yes, and it's a secret.
Now, 4% of people are using them
but keeping them a secret,
and 3% are using them
but are being open about it.
So there are a lot of people
that are being secretive about it.
Interesting.
I suppose it's the stick.
that like people go, you know, you didn't really work for it.
You know, it's the easy way out.
Yeah.
I'm sure for people, it's not always.
It's very complicated.
So we've got some responses.
Emily said, damn, I was expecting yes, to be so much higher.
I'm on the second week of Monjaro, and it's been good so far.
I'm so thankful I don't have food noise and constant cravings.
The food noise is the big thing.
I have people being like, all they thought about was food.
And then suddenly that's gone.
Yeah, I was talking to a friend.
about this last night while we were enjoying
an incredible dinner at one of our favorite
restaurants. And I was like, you just
wouldn't enjoy this. You wouldn't
like, I went home so full. Like, we probably
ordered it a bit too much. But like,
I was like, you just wouldn't experience all
that delicious food. You'd have a tiny
bit and you'd be like, ugh, because I've eaten
with people on these jabs
and they don't eat at all. I know.
They eat very little. I would miss that.
Same. I know. It's one of
life's great joys. Yeah. But that's
the problem is what's got us here.
Too much.
Too much, yeah.
Emily said everyone in the fitness industry on the Gold Coast
uses the new GLP and then does the
face. Oh, right, but they're not telling everyone.
shredding their fat, but doesn't it eat away your muscle as well?
Yeah, you've got to...
Because you're eating like no calories a day.
Glucagon-like peptide is what GLP stands for.
Is that?
That's what they are, right?
All of them are that.
GLP.
Yeah, GLPs.
Yeah.
GLPs.
Okay, so there's a new one apparently.
And everyone on the gold is.
Goldie's using it.
It is the only thing that has actually helped me lose the weight and keep it off.
I'm almost in my goal weight, so I don't plan on staying on it too much longer.
It has helped me eat better and I don't snack as much as I used to.
Did you see that thing with Oprah when she was like the moment you come off it, though?
She put all her weight back on and was like, well, I'll just go on it forever.
Well, she's just, Oprah just said that.
Oprah did.
Has Oprah said she's just going to start on it forever.
Yeah, so she was, she's been very open about it and she did an interview recently and was like, I tried it.
and came off for a year and she put on all of it back.
So she just went back on it.
Adele said, because everybody's an expert, that's why I'm keeping it quiet.
I see the judgment and comments from others about it being the easy way,
but they don't see the effort put in both food choices,
exercising and coping with the side effects.
24Ks down to the slow and steady rate over 17 weeks.
17 weeks. Wow, okay.
Mel said the opposite.
I've been put on medication to gain weight.
Oh.
Do not share that problem.
You don't, you don't, you don't, you do see people who eat but can't put on weight.
Yeah, no, I know, I know people like that.
Yeah.
And they, they hate it because, yeah, they could be eating like so much food and just
They just want a bodk-a-dunk.
Whereas I'm like, wish I could have that.
Yeah, I know.
Everyone wants what they don't have, right?
I know, right, I know.
Everyone looks at like a juicy ass and some nice squishy thighs.
Like, I want that.
Yeah.
Um, Ali said, I went through a journey to health in 2025 and lost 30 KGs through
eating less and moving my body more.
only to have Ozmpic allegations left front and centre.
I do love that it's an option for people, but not everybody's on it.
Go, remember how proud I was when someone accused me of being on Ozmpic last year.
Yes, you. I remember that.
It was a highlight of my year.
It was.
Abby said, I've been prescribed it to help lose the last 10 KG, so I'm eligible for publicly
funded IVF after losing a lot of weight myself without it.
Yeah, I guess if you have like a big motive like that, right, you'll do whatever it takes.
Yeah, shift that last 10.
I'm not, but when I went to my doctor this time last year, they gave me the option to take
GLP's because of my weight.
Oh wow, okay.
So the doctor was, okay,
came forward.
Is the doctor getting a Fiji trip
if they get so many people on?
They're on commish.
Sign up, get some commish.
Yeah.
But I mean, if it helps people
and gets them into a safe kind of weight.
Oh, just whatever you want to do
with your own body.
Yeah.
You know, everyone's going to have,
as you say, everyone's an expert,
everyone's got their own opinion on it.
Whatever works for your bod.
Heather brings up a good point.
I was, but had to stop due to other health issues.
I was open about it when I was on it
because why should you keep it a secret?
you get drug help for other issues.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
And mental health and various health problems.
So why not weight loss?
Not yet, says Malam.
I'm seeing a doctor next month,
but I will be keeping it a secret
except for a husband and adult children.
Yeah, right.
The thing is, so people notice,
so you can only keep it secret for a certain amount of time.
Just because it's so fast, the weight loss.
Yeah.
I've got a PCOS, I've got as a PCOS girlie,
which has helped it come up.
come more regularly. I've lost 25 kilograms
so far. Wow. Yeah for sure.
Right. Okay. Well, for
silly little poll today, we said, are you
currently using weight loss drugs and while 93%
of you aren't? 4%
are in keeping a secret. 3%
are and keeping it quiet.

question. Yeah, that was nice.
That's probably my favourite one. Yeah, the convinces

We didn't convince anyone of anything, did we?
I like the fun we had with the people when we were playing
the convinces, though. Me too. I like just hanging out
with our listeners. Okay. All right,
well, we'll consider all of this.
Well, today I'm going to put something for trial run.
It's quite self-serving.
Okay, yeah, sure. And that feels
on brand for me.
Because I have an issue.
Yeah. Every day that I go
into my local, it's a supermarket-esque, you know, it's like a small supermarket.
What we call those super-rettes?
No, but it's not a superrette.
It's a food market.
What would you call it, Vaughn?
What are we talking about?
Oh, God.
That's like, um, Farrow.
A posh supermarkets.
A posh mini supermarket.
It's very posh mini supermarket.
But it's a supermarket nonetheless, but it's small and bougie.
No, because a supermarket is a market that's super.
This is super expensive.
This is a food market.
But it's close to me.
like on the edge of like where I live.
Well, you don't say that word.
Sorry.
Brink.
Sorry.
You don't say your supermarket is on the brink of where I live.
This supermarket.
It's closest to my house.
It's on the brink of where I live.
Okay, right.
And every time I go in there, there is a lovely young gentleman who is so lovely,
I've forgotten his name.
Okay.
But he knows me from TV and radio.
And whenever I walk in, he always says,
Hello, Comedian.
Oh, okay.
And then he says to me, got a joke.
for me today.
Right.
And then I give him a joke, he gives me a joke, and that's our interaction.
Right.
It's very enjoyable.
Okay.
But I'm saying to feel like this guy's going to lose faith in me as a comedian because I've run out of jokes.
Because in my stand-up, I don't do jokes like that.
Yeah, yeah.
But everyone always says that when the moment you say I'm a comedian, they go, give us a joke.
And I'm always dry.
Right.
So my, for trial week, I want to, for trial run week, I want Hayley's joke of the day.

Guys, high school musical is 20 years old today.
Why did you pick the worst song from high school musical?
Soren, that, I excuse you.
Also, this is a beautiful love song.
High school musical too is better than high school musical.
That's ridiculous.
Is that ridiculous?
You reckon the girls are great.
Cowan and Shannon are great.
Wow, okay.
Do you guys think that high school musical two is better?
Oh my God, high school musical two is my favorite by a long mile.
Oh, three for me, three all the way.
That's because you're younger.
I didn't think he did a three.
It's the best.
It's got prom night and he looks good.
Which one that's the work at the golf course?
Yeah, two.
Oh, yeah, I've seen that one.
Two rules, man.
Sharp A shines.
Hell yeah.
Husha, shush, shish.
Not even singing in this one.
I know.
He didn't start till the second.
Which is wild.
Zach Efron can sing very well.
Well, he started to after, yeah,
but the first movie he didn't sing. It was Drew.
This is the banger, right?
Get your head in the game.
The basketballs.
Oh my God, a little like folly with the...
Vanessa Hudgens turned 37 at the end of last year
and she's got two children now.
Oh my God, that's so embarrassing. She's older than me.
That's crazy.
So this came out in 2006.
I think this is why it passed me by because it was peak emo.
I was not, this would have been way too poppy for me.
There's actually not an emo character in any of these films.
Which is insane for 2006.
That was peak MySpace time.
Too preppy.
They were going preppy.
Yeah.
We had the flamboyant baker who they were just like ambiguously saying was flamboyant, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
It's honestly, it's iconic.
And I still think if you look at the careers, like Zach Efron, this is where he started, right?
Vanessa Hutchins as well.
Yeah.
And then Ashley Tisdale.
She was doing O.G. Disney with like Sweet Life of Zach and Coney and all that.
But where's everyone else?
A lot of them are on cameo.
They pop up on TikTok balls.
Oh, that's sad.
It's sad.
Where are they now on cameo?
I think a couple of them are like dance.
Choreographers.
Yeah.
Coach Bolton's on cameo.
Oh, yeah.
How much is he charging for a hello?
Happy birthday.
I don't know. But I think a lot more than you'd think.
I'd estimate like 200.
Wow, okay.
So Zach here from, you'd definitely say,
has had the biggest career,
because he went through and he did a series of kind of poppy,
and then he did hairspray and all that,
and then he did that one with Matthew Perry.
17 again.
17 again.
So we did all those sort of young great things.
Let's not forget.
And then he did great.
That's what I mean.
And then he kind of transitioned into films that were respected.
Well, guys, I've just found out how much Coach Bolton costs on cameo.
It's only $55.
Now, Carmen, can we use the staff credit cards?
We'll just keep that as a note for the girl's birthdays.
Yeah, great idea.
We'll take a joint present.
A cameo from the coach from high school musical.
Well, that's just to make you feel old today.

You know, Comedy Gala, got to say it's one of the best nights of comedy
of the country, I'm sure you'll agree.
Oh, I do agree. I do agree. It's a whole bunch
of, like, basically 20 comedians almost
doing four minutes of their best stuff.
And as we said this year, Christchurch as well.
Yeah, yeah. Are you excited to do the gala
down in Chichet? Oh, absolutely.
The first time, yes,
it's, oh, well, the first time I've known it
been in Christchurch. Just looking forward to that.
Not many people know this, but the reason
why I always wear my suit is so
like from clubs
in Christchurch. Yes.
So that's the main, yeah.
You've got your town shoes on.
Yeah, you're ready to go.
Yeah, you're ready to go at all times just in case.
So does this mean because you're doing the comedy gala,
which we're talking about today,
but does this mean that you're going to be doing a new show
and bringing it our way?
Yes, absolutely, yes, that's right.
Well, that's what the Comedy Gala's for.
It's the recognises it's the first show kicking off the comedy festival season.
And so, yes, I'll be bringing in a new show.
I've got a new show.
It's called I Can See O'Leary.
now the Ray has gone.
Yes, that's brilliant.
I was about to suggest boom boom power, but you've nailed that.
Ray O'Leary, boom, boom, boom,
can you make boom, boom, boom power your walk-on music, perhaps?
Yes, I think absolutely.
Oh, there we go, yes.
Boom, boom, boom.
If I could come on the stage with this, that'd be perfect.
Yes, absolutely.
Are you going to be giving your, because you have a new suit?
If you don't know Ray O'Leary, one.
and Google him and watch some of his comedy
because I'll say he's funny.
B, where's the same grey suit since
basically you started comedy, but it's not the same,
A? You've got an upgraded grey suit?
Yes, I have
had to get a new one.
There is, I do still hold
on to the original, and I would
describe it as heavily
soiled.
Heavyly soil, jeezers,
Jesus, heavily soil, it's quite
fun.
So for people of the front roads
benefit. I've sort of had to switch out to a sort of
more clear
one. Yeah, great.
Gotcha.
Do you want to have another kiss when you arrive?
We've talked about this before.
Ray O'Leary and I made out once
quite frantically on the set and I think the sparks flew.
Yes, absolutely. It's actually the only reason I'm doing the comedy
gala. I'm thinking we're doing three shows,
Auckland and Christchurch. As far as I'm aware, that's three
kisses foray.
Three kisses foray.

33 reported incidents linked to the new
hydras lights. Now, I've
completely forgotten about this. I remember the last
time we visited Christchurch, I walked past
and I was like, this is going to be exciting.
You could see the hydra slides.
We have to go on Sunday.
We totally do. We're going. We're going.
Straight after church.
Straight after church, we'll go and go after church.

There are Christchurch, Les Mills, 10, but in Auckland, Les Mills 3.
Oh, way.

Sidestep.
Yesterday, we were freaking twos, man.
Les Mills yesterday, Auckland City was hot.
Oh, we know why that is, guys.
High Rocks. Everyone's getting ready for it here.
Shut up, Georgia.
No one wants to talk to you about high rocks.
Nah, they were just crack.
Man, there was no body fat.
Do you know, I looked down on my watch
and Haley had sent me a message saying,
I want to lick the neck of the person next to you.
And what did you say back?
I didn't want to lick his neck.
I wanted to leave his back.
Oh, sorry, his back.
Yeah.
I said, excuse me, Haley, I'm trying to do tricep pull downs.
Please leave me alone.
Should I open up the chat?
No, maybe not.
Let's open up the chat.
What are you?
Screenshot at Haley and put it online.
Shall I screen shot it born?
Yeah, I reckon screenshot it.
So 33 reported incidents since the...
opening on December 17, 22
have involved cuts,
seven bruises, and
four incidents saw riders
become stuck. Now, are they not
using mats? Why are people getting cut on
a hydrant slide? There's different, there's
five different slides, okay? I've got
the deal with them,
the trapdoor slide where you stand on it,
and the bottom drops out of it. I'm not going on that one.
I've got neck. They are epic,
guys. We did them in Bali. You didn't.
I didn't, because of my shoulder.
Oh, your shoulder would have been fine.
You've got to be at least 140 centimetres tall
and weigh between 35 and 120 KGs.
Oh no more.
I just hit my goal weight of 33.
God, everyone's said.
I've been shredding.
33, made it.
Tube slides where the writers use a raft,
they have to be...
Wait, you can go on a raft in these hydrant slides?
This is cold.
I think it's like an inflatable.
There's the specific slides for inflatables.
there are some called body slides and they're the ones where you don't have anything.
It's just you raw dogged it.
Oh, okay, right.
Well, there's water.
Yeah, there's water.
So those are the ones where people tend to be having the most accidents.
So apparently we just had a text in that you've got a book for the hydra slides.
Excuse me, what?
Well, let's get online.
What do you mean? I'll pull it.
What do you know who we are?
It's probably just a thing for now.
Tell them where Simon Barnett?
Because he'll be a VIP down there.
say book question mark.
Simon, me,

Showing my friends
it's born and Haley.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, well get on there, Haley.
We've got to book this.
Have you been here, Georgia?
No, I haven't, but mates have been said it's epic.
And with the injuries and stuff,
it sounds as though it's just like teeth.
It's just what happens.
They're fresh.
They've got joinery.
Yeah, they haven't had people's butts
sliding down them.
What do you mean?
Well, hydraslides have the joinery, right?
Like where they connect together.
Joins.
Joinery.
There's joinery involved in the joint.
Cabinatory halfway down there, Georgia.
Yeah, it does.
It has windows and doors and kitchen covers on.
It is a door, because remember when people get stuck,
they're going to open it up and pull them out.
Yeah, there is too.
Okay, guys, we're looking at $18 for a sesh.
That's pretty good.
That's okay.
What times are available?
Does anybody have a community service or super gold card?
Because we could get that cheaper.
I could get mums.
Oh, no, moms.
I'll get my mums.
Get mum and dads.
I'm new service. Hi, it's me, Patsy Sproul,
I want to go on the hydra slide.
Book your one hour session. One hour.
That's not enough. It's not enough.
Nah, you'll be over it. Let's be honest.
Dude, it's booked out. It's booked out on Sunday.
There's no bookings from now to a Monday morning.
Fing. Sorry, but what?
What time do we have to be at Edg Sharon because there's 5pm?
3.30, we're hosting our preys at Fat Eddies.
Yeah, we're at Fat Eddies.
Unless, you know.
What about Saturday?
There's nothing, Georgia.
We've got dinner on Saturday.
You don't let, oh, this is unbelievable.
Should we just delay the flight coming home on Monday?
Anything Monday morning?
I'm telling you, we're going to have to pull it.
Do you know who we are?
I know we've ever done it, but I think now is the time.
I honestly agree.
I honestly agree.
I'd hate to have to talk about this on the radio.
Do you know what I'll do one of those?
Well, maybe a family will pull out with gastric or diarrhea issues.
Well, hopefully they pull out before they get there.
I don't want to go down the slide and fly out.
Yeah.
So we say 12.
Is there a 10 on Monday?
There's a 10 on Monday.
We could fit that in, we could fit that in, we could do it at 10.
Well, only if the listeners are happy with us, getting off here at 9.30, we'll just play songs.
Oh, yes, here we go again.
I'm going to have to take over for you, are.
Am I?
Georgia can jump in from Auckland.
We know the mayor's daughter.
Do you reckon we pull that string?
I was born in a rangiora.
Oh, now she'll look at now.
See you, see you later.
Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there.
That's copyrighted.
Suezzi, who's a very good friend of mine.
Well, she's already sued me twice.
So if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action.
That would be great.
Tell her, I'll review her five stars.
Yeah.
If she does the same for this podcast.
Yeah.
And then she tells all her friends.
And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well.
Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley.
