From the ZM Podcast Network, this is Fleshwood and Hayley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse, the biggest brands at the lowest prices. Welcome to the show Fleshwood and Hayley. Happy Friday. Happy Friday long weekend Monday. King's birthday. I was about to say Queen's birthday. Oh, she's dead. King's birthday. Did you see they've just announced they've,

or they put out a photo of the new coins? Yeah, 10 cents, right. The first coin that he's getting his face on. The 10 cent piece. Yeah, I thought the one I saw was a gold one. Oh. Oh, maybe it was. But not until next year.

God, hurry up, because. I know, what if they just get it on there and then eat? Yeah. I know. Also do feel sorry, and I say this as someone who herself has a weak jawline, but he's not known for his strong jawline. Yeah, and it's side on on the coin, isn't it? Yeah. I'd be like, and I say this as someone who herself has a weak jawline, but he's not known for his strong jawline. Yeah, and it's side on on the coin, isn't it?

Yeah. I'd be like, get a bit of- I'd be good on a coin side on. Yeah, you'd both rock it. And you gotta do that thing girls do in photos to get their chin in, they put their tongue against the top of their mouth. Yeah.

Or push it against their teeth at the front. You know how that's when you see girls who are smiling. And then just between their teeth, you can see their tongue pushing really hard against the back against their teeth at the front. You know how that's when you see girls who are smiling. And then just between their teeth, you can see their tongue pushing really hard against the back of their teeth. We all know you're sucking in your under your chin. Always. We know what you're doing.

Well, because it is the long weekend, King's birthday, we've come up with a replacement for the long weekend group two. Which sadly was retired because of phone technology. Yeah, it just wasn't working. It just wasn't working. So, what is the idea that you've come up with for the Long Weekend? The Long Weekend Name Train is the name we've settled on.

We've decided on one name, and after eight o'clock, we get as many of those people on the phone to report in that that is indeed their name, and we make a name train. See how curious we can get on. Every time this name calls and says, yes, that's my name, we add a carriage to the train and we see how long we can make the train. And then it's sort of a competition between the names.

Oh yeah, okay, great idea. So who's got the longest train? Love this idea. Do you want me to say what the name is yet? Yeah. I reckon. Jess. After eight this morning, if you're a Jess, a Jessica,

it's just Jess. Jessicles. Jessicles, Jessamay. Yeah. Jess, whatever. Jesse, go by Jesse. Jesse? Jesse, yeah, Jesse.

Should we take Jesse? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If your name starts with J-E-S-S. That's a good one. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. I just did that thing where you go like ah and your back of your throat goes squirt, squirt, squirt. Squirt.

Yeah, I was always jealous of people at school that could do that. On demand. On demand, gleaking or something like that. Marie can do it, it's gross. Ooh, yuck, yuck skill. Now there is- I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I can never do it.

But when would you use it? Just to get your friend in the face. Yeah, sometimes. No, I'd never use it. No, it's just something cool I guess. Now there is a trend online that girlies are doing in particular, but I think we could do this. Boyies. It's called the Nostalgia Playlist, and people are going like, so it's June, the way this weekend.

Get out. I will get in. I will get in. It's June on Sunday. What's happened there? Anyway don't panic about it. But say June's coming up. The three of us start a playlist on whatever platform we like.

I choose iHeartRadio. That's where I get all my music and I can listen to the radio on the go. Take us with you wherever you are and our podcast. And we would start a joint playlist and then you, the three of us, girlies, we would each contribute to the playlist over the month of June. Yep.

And then that's the June Nostalgia playlist. And then we move on to July, then we move on to August, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is kind of like how I treat my Spotify raps, because I always save that playlist and it is a bit of a nostalgia. For the whole year. For the whole year.

But this would be like, it changes, because my Spotify rap is sometimes like really cooked. Like our May one would be like, we just went to the train concert. Yeah, yeah, so it'd be drop to Jupiter. It'd be drop, you know, like a few songs from the concerts we went to. Whereas February would have been Lola Young, Messy.

Yes. On repeat. With the swear words. Yes, the swear word version. And then you're like, you know, you just sort of like stop listening to a song for a while. Yep. And then you move on, you move on,

but you've got these little light markers. I think this is a great idea. I like that, it's a great idea. Yes, we should start one. What would be the first song we're gonna put on for June? Oh. Well, we were in the car all yesterday listening to a lot of 2010s emo.

No, 2010s emo. Early 2010s emo. Oh yeah, cause we started with Taking Back Sunday, which by the way, so Vaughn, we were in the car, the three of us yesterday, hanging out as genuine friends after the show and I think you can hear that we had a nice bonding session. Oh, we had such a lovely breakfast sandwich.

Hayley had, if I might, permission to use the S word. Hayley had the sluttiest roll for breakfast. It was dipped in gravy. And I was... Like a soft brioche roll with slow cooked pull apart beef, gravy and cheese. I had jealousy when your one came. It was a mess, but man, I had a bite.

It was so good. It was a mess. But yeah, on the way there, I drove us there and Vaughn put on this great, we just put on Taking Back Sunday. You picked the song. Make damn sure. And then it was like, if you like that,

you're gonna love the next one. Bit of fall out boy. Lots of fall out boy. There was Panic at the Disco. To make him bring romance. Like our lovely listeners, if they saw us yesterday driving past, we were just screaming emo hits at the top of our lungs.

I was doing the air drumming. I was doing a lot of air drumming. A lot of air drums from you. You'd be our air drummer of our air band. I continued on my drive home and once they just punched in the roof of the car, just like. Boom, boom, boom, boom. What a vibe.

Well, let's start a June playlist. Yeah, well ahead of the car. It's like boom, boom, boom, boom. What a vibe. Well, let's start a June playlist. Yeah, well ahead of the long weekend, some ideas of what to watch. But rainy, it's a bit rainy everywhere as well, so it could be a good weekend to just plonk on the couch. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, we've got the cruddy weather outside. I had some light flooding in the potholes of my driveway.

Oh, no. I know, I need to flatten those out, don't I? But I feel like, I don't know what the weather's like across the country, but it just feels with the long weekend, that crawling onto the couch and just being a slob would be so good. So we thought we'd have a little, what we're watching because, man there's some good TV on at the moment including I can't watch it I can't I it's a hard watch the Osama bin Laden documentary on Netflix we've all kind of been different about this it does start

with all the footage of 9-eleven and I was straight with that yeah maybe it's a good watch to watch with someone else you can sort of discuss it not on your own thing yeah I was gonna download that on my iPad watch it on the plane but that's probably not you know great one to watch on the plane. We're going to Melbourne today? I reckon don't. I reckon that's a private watch. yeah I did download another show that you're talking about though Sirens. God it's so good. Julianne Moore? Julianne Moore. What's her name from? Megan Fahey. Yup, Megan Fahey.

And Millie Alcock who is an Australian actress but she was in House of the Dragon as the young kind of, you know, woman. Young Targaryen. Yeah, young Targaryen. And she's gonna be super good as well. Yeah, it is, it's a phenomenal watch. It's one of those ones where I got to the end and I was like, boo, I'm at the end.

More, more. More, more, more, more, more. So I started yesterday Murderbot, which is on Apple TV. It's got Alexander's Guz-Gun. I love Alexander's Guz-Gun. Oh yeah, is that good? Guz-Gun. So is it like RoboCop? No.

Oh. I don't know what's happening. And I'm kind of like, I like that I don't know what's happening. He's basically a security robot that hacks his own programming. So he doesn't have to obey humans, but he doesn't want them to know he can't, he doesn't want them to know he can disobey them. So he keeps obeying them.

It's really weird. Lay it. But cool. I'm really enjoying it. I've been watching upon Vaughan's advice, the studio. I finished that yesterday. I'm really enjoying it. I've been watching upon Vaughan's advice the studio. I finished that yesterday I'm only halfway. I haven't laughed as much in a TV show in the final two episodes of the studio When they're going to Las Vegas for like a movie con like a comic-con. It's not a spoiler And they take mushrooms like it's Bryan Cranston

Zoe Kravitz and Dave Franco are like second tier characters. And I mean, they're not in every episode. I just did not know Zoe Kravitz could be so funny. There's also it's kind of it's like one, it's like art, like the way it's shot. Beautifully beautiful. And then to its there's so many cameos of real life, because it's set in Hollywood. So like people playta Gerwig and,

yeah, people, Martin Scorsese's in it. And it's like, he's incredible in it. Yeah. Have you watched Duster? No. Remember the long haired guy off Lost? He was like the, Sawyer. He was like the heartthrob. Curly hair? No, long, straight hair, blonde guy.

And you were like, man, he's gonna be in everything. And then he kind of wasn't. Yeah. He's in the show called Duster. And I'm just looking, it's got 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 84% popcorn. Where's that? HBO. Right.

So neon here. But he's like a getaway driver in the 70s. Oh, okay. Apparently it's amazing. I've just been told people love it. Right. So that's on my list. Um, producer Shannon, you're's amazing. People love it. Right. So that's on my list.

Producer Shannon, you're always a fan of true crime. What's the latest watch for you? Just released on Netflix this week. It's a cold case documentary about the Tylenol murders in America in the 80s. It's the reason that medication has safety seals. There was no legislation before, but basically- Wait, why didn't, I've never heard of this.

Haven't you? Story, no. That was massive. Basically, a bunch of people got poisoned. They were just taking Tylenol, which was like Panadol. Yeah. And there was cyanide in it and they were dead instantly. Well, like someone was going into supermarkets or like pharmacies and like...

Yeah. And so they've never officially charged someone with it, but they have pretty good ideas on what happened, and people who were accused of it are in the documentary. Oh wow. These Cold Case, the Netflix Cold Case series are so good. Cold Case is so good. But yeah, it's an absolute- I love to lap up a murder.

And it's very consumable. There's three episodes, but they're like 30 minutes. So it's basically just a doco. I love those ones. Same. I love those ones that could have been a longer movie, but they made them three episodes. Yeah, give it to me like that. Yeah, that's good.

I love it. Give it to me. Well, lots to watch ahead of the long weekend. Enjoy. Put your feet up. There has been a flight that's gone viral overnight. It was a Delta flight trying to land in all... Did you see the story that I seen in the show prep

about the Delta flight that had a pigeon loose in it? Oh my God, have you seen the footage? Oh my God, there's people in the aisles with their jackets trying to catch... Oh my God, it's so funny. How did it get in? I think when they landed, maybe it didn't have an air bridge.

It just like opened the door and you got out on the stairs. And I think the pigeon just flew in. It's going crazy up the aisles and people are trying to catch it and everyone's like screaming. It's so good. The worst bird. Oh, the worst bird.

The number one worst bird, then seagulls. Then seagulls. Oh, guys. Seagulls are the worst. Oh, it's a pest ring. Freed me! Freed me, freed me! Hate them.

Anyway, will you watch that for him? I've got it here. Okay. I don't know what the language is gonna be, but I can play it. I mean, sure, like we could roll the dice on it. Roll the dice. It's Vaughan's job on the line. There's people crying. It's a pigeon, mate. We're not gonna cry about it.

Yeah, but it's so gross. It was really rad. It came flying down the aisle and some guy just held his jacket up and it just smashes into the jacket and hits the deck. Which is genius. What a great week for the Delta Airlines in the cons department. Well this is slightly less screaming. Some of the comments on that video. Glad nobody overreacted to this everyday situation. So this flight was two hours delayed,

and it was circling Orlando where it was trying to land. So it was two hours, it was just ridiculous. And everyone was like, oh my God, constant delays. So one young woman, a child, took it upon herself to try to ease the pain of the wait. And she picked up the intercom thing and entertained everyone. See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me

And no one knows how far it goes No, I'm sorry I'm sorry Who thought this was cute? This honesty? This reeks of a mother You know, who didn't quite fulfill her dreams. Loves that her daughter is a performer.

Yeah. And it's like, get up, come on, do you know what would be nice if you sing that nice song you sang at the school production? It's the whole song, by the way. Yeah, it's still going, isn't it? Yeah, it's still going. A capella, and apparently, you know, they were like, oh, some people were sort of humming along

and encouraging it, but most comments were like, pull the parachute. No, I don't hear anyone joining in, but it's still going. I'd rather have a pigeon. Oh, I'd rather have a pigeon. I'd actually rather have a pigeon flying to my head. I'd literally get the pigeon, fly it straight into my face.

As long as it blocks my ears. It sort of knocks you out. It sort of knocks me, it takes me down. By the way, it's still going. Wow. This would be a great advertisement for noise cancelling headphones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Had enough during the delay? Boos. Oh, she's done the key change.

Still going. Oh, this isn't looping. No this is not looping. No. She even just hit the key change. Does she have a phone with lyrics? No she's just into the thing like this. I mean good for her and wish her a bright beautiful future. But if you're sitting on a plane, you don't want to hear that. Go do it in your own home. Yeah, I'd be cranking the heavy metal and the noise cancelling him. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborne and Hayley.

From your local community Facebook page, this is the top six. Yeah, it's King's birthday weekend. Is this our second King's birthday? Yes. Because last year we had a King's birthday, eh? And the first of two in the next month. Long weekends. Oh yeah, Matariki. Matariki on the horizon as well.

Coming up. Good stuff. Put it in the cow. Get some of the food. We love having it in the cow. The top six things the King will do this long weekend to celebrate his Aotearoa New Zealand birthday. Number six on the list a gummy

It's the New Zealand version of a shoe. Oh, I got a bit of a gumboot. Right. Yeah I'm gonna do a red bandage for the support local. Maybe if it's a clean gumboot. Yeah, new gumboot And take the insult out. I've never done a shoe yet and never planned to No, I have. Call me old-fashioned. I'll just drink it out of a glass or a bottle. Or a can. I know. The good thing about getting a gumbo, get a child's gumbo, you can just put the can in the bird and it looks like you're drinking out of the bird. That's what I did. It's the classy way of doing it. It's probably what he'll do.

Yeah, it's very classy. Suitable for the Royals. Yes. Number five on the list of the top six things the King will do in his long weekend birthday here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Use his royal influence to demand to eat a kiwi. I mean, he's the king. You know in England, he owns all the swans. That's the thing, eh? All the swans, they can eat them but you can't. Weird.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to eat a swan. No, neither. Yuck. You said a pigeon was one of your least favourite birds. I've got to put swans up there. They're definitely up there. Yuck. You said a pigeon was one of your least favourite birds. I've got to put swans up there. They're definitely up there. Yuck. Number four on the list of the top six things the King will do in his long weekend to celebrate his New Zealand birthday. Sausage, sizzle and might attend. He has to be careful though that he doesn't eat his fingers.

Yeah, he's got to be careful. Is he still having that water retention? Yep. He's got weird fingers, hasn't he? Big fingers. Number three on the list of the top six things the king will do this long weekend. I'm just gonna add a Lujas in Queensland. Oh yeah, lovely. Just a great thing to do when you're there. Yeah, it's lovely.

He's a speed demon. Imagine being on the Lujas and you come around the quarter and you total pass them and you look, cause you always look at the people you pass and they're like, sucker. Sucker. And it's the king, oh, too slow down, too fast.

I imagine he'd just pot it. He'd be on the slow track. He'd make the most of his five trips. He did the slow track, the scenic one, and he'd take his time cause he's like, bad fortune for this. Number two on the list of the top six things a king will do for his long weekend birthday

here in New Zealand, eat free at Valentine's. Oh, because it's your birthday. Do they still do that? So he'll take, do they still do that? You might just be saying an old offer there, Vaughan. Okay, let me check. Valentine's, dine free. How many Valentines are left in the country though?

There's not many. There's a few. There's a few. Dine free on your birthday, we love sharing your birthdays and special events with you, no hidden costs, no cleaning up afterwards. Yeah, that's advertised on the Valentine's Day. We should go, maybe we should go for my birthday.

Yeah, we should. It's telling me my local store is the Hornby store. Okay, right. I don't think Hornby and Christchurch would be the closest Valentine's Day to me personally. We could make a trip down for Fletcher's birthday. Happy to. But if we're going to Christchurch,

we're going to Fifth Street. We're going to Fifth Street. If we're But if we're going to Christchurch, we're going to Fifth Street. We're going to Fifth Street. If we're going all the way there, then. Yeah, we're going to Fifth Street next week. Yeah. Fifth Street. And number one on the list of the top six things the King will do for his long weekend birthday in New Zealand

BYO at Canton Kitchen in Kingsland. Oh, beautiful. It's a birthday classic. It's a birthday classic if you're a sort of Auckland adjacent. You simply must go to Canton. The best thing about Canton is how many people they cram in there and there's really hard walls and hard floors and hard ceilings

so the sound bounces off and you have to scream. It's loud, it's loud. You cannot hear a thing. And the tables, you have to scream across a table to somebody. It's great stuff though. It's loud. And if you want to give a speech,

you've got to stand up on a chair and do it. Got Lazy Susan, so, and I like that. Yeah, we love a Lazy Susan. And they're pretty loose goose about the BYO you can take too. Do you know what, and actually, for a cheaper price, great duck pancakes. Killer duck pancakes.

Killer duck pancakes. We should do a list of New Zealand's best BYOs. Oh yeah, that'd be great. That just popped into my head. What a directory that would be. Well like our ice cream index. Yes. A BYO index.

A BYO, the best BYOs in every town. I love that. We'll do that. And then obviously we're gonna have to go to them. Oh no. A tour of New Zealand in every BYO. I'll bring the Chardonnay. Imagine the corkage of that trip. Oh. Add that up. Not if we put a bladder in my puffer jacket. Oh, or you take your big purse. Yes! And we put a bladder in it. With big straws. Camel packs. Oh!

Camel bags. We've just fresh off the trail. Yeah. Yeah. This is how we drink now. Hide the straw. Hide the camel back under the coat. Of course, but always drink responsibly.

Always. I never do anything else but... Always. That is today's top story. Producer Shannon lives in the most rogue apartment. We talk about it all the time. We've got fridge mints, we've got dairy mints, we've got the pigeon coming in.

Didn't the police say, or someone tell you that they used to spend a whole shift there? Yeah, he said you could use a whole shift at this apartment building a few years ago, but he said things have really cleaned up. I don't think they put that on the Trade Me listing. You get the drug dogs through quite a bit, don't you? Yeah, and the bedbug dogs.

Yep. Which I had none of, by the way. No, of course not. But you sent us a picture in the group chat of quite a rogue setup. Yeah, so as I was walking, there's kind of two exits I can take to the apartment and I was going to the bin exit so not my normal way to work and as I was walking I noticed that above my

head was a power line duct tape to the ceiling. A power cord. Power cord yeah and it was like silver duct tape proper just like coming out of someone's apartment. And I was like, this is suspicious. But I was on my way to work, so I left it. As I came home, I said, I simply must go upstairs and see where this is leading to. Cause we were wondering if maybe they were stealing power, if there was somehow an outlet just in the wall,

they were stealing from the apartment building itself. I remember once I walked out to come to work and the neighbors had put an extension cord out of their door into the hallway and they were using the body core power, the building's power for a heater. I would pull that right out. Well, I was wondering if it was that.

So I waltz up the stairs and I go up to the next flight and not even directly above the apartment that the duct tape was coming out of. It was about four apartments down was this huge extension cord. Again, duct tape to the ground and into someone else's apartment. That is crazy. And I don't know what the point of this is. It's not a it's not a power.

It's not a power socket outside the apartment. They must know the people inside. It's gone through a window. I don't know, like are they sharing a power bill and it's somehow cheaper? That's my theory, because they're not paying a connection rate. You pay just to be connected to the power every month.

Yeah, and maybe also they can't, they don't have the credit, or they have bad like, credit history so they can't join a power company. You could run a whole house off of a multi-plug. A multi-plug? A whole house, no, but an apartment the size of Shannon's. But you've got an oven, you've got a fridge.

Oh no, you just go without an oven. You just go without the oven. But basically- Tiny fridge, so it's not like a massive pool on the power. It's going outside and across quite a far distance, and they've just duct taped it to the ground that I'm like, is this going to stay there? Is it going to corrode away in the rain?

But where's the landlords or whoever? I don't know. I've been chasing my property manager for weeks about our couch is broken. It's a whole thing. Right. Your couch is broken. You're telling me that property managers aren't doing their job. It's a shock horror.

You can't sit on it. Yeah that's right, we remember this, it was broken. Yeah, and so... Because it's furnished right, the couch is here, right? But you can't fit two people on the couch anyway. There's a whole thing, but I just... So what you've got there is an armchair. You can't fit two people on a couch, that's what constitutes a couch.

Guys, it's like a one and a half seat of couch. It's the funniest thing to sit on. Yeah, but you can't sit on it because it's broken. Okay. But I can't get rid of it because it's not my couch. And also there's nowhere else to put it because it takes up one eighth of my apartment. I think we need to go over.

No. I need to see this with my own eyes. When Carlyn came over recently, I was like, okay, you can just sit on the floor. That's where I sit. Yeah. And I have like a cushion that I put on the floor. But there's no seating.

But yeah, so I don't know what this person's doing. I think we should have like our end of year rap party at Shannon's. We don't sit, like genuinely, you can't put five people in the lounge. I think if we just stood, it'd be quite loud. No, there's no stand. Let's do an OB from her house.

Let's do the show from her glass. We could steal power from someone else and do a walk-past-a-lamp. We'll just talk to people that walk past and be like, hey man, hey, what do you do? I travel, I travel parallel universes. I'll stay here. Yeah, I'll stay here, I think. Oh, I'd love to come. Honestly, this power cord situation is so funny.

The duct tape, the lens that we've gone to. It's not as good as whoever obviously didn't want to pay for rubbish and was just throwing their food out the window. I'd love to come. Honestly this power cord situation is so funny. The duct tape, the lenses have gone to. It's not as good as whoever obviously didn't want to pay for rubbish and was just throwing their food out the window. That was probably my favourite. And we have not got to the bottom of that yet. I still maintain it was Shannon.

It's not me. Said the guilty woman. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. Play ZM's FletchBorn and Hayley. FletchBorn and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little pole. Do you hand squeegee yourself? So you finish in the shower, and before you step out of the shower and get your towel, you just do, with your hands, you run them over your body and squeegee all the water off. Yeah, you go, what? No.

What the water off? I'll squeegee my shower glass. Now, I can mum. I know. Honestly, I reckon give that another year and I'll stop. Do you know what I mean? Are you still squeegeeing your shower glass? Yeah, yeah. Why don't you get that protective stuff? Yeah, I know I need to put it on.

But I just like wring out my hair and then that's it. Hop out. That's what the bath mat's for. Yeah, no, but that's- No, you're asking too much of the bath mat and you're gonna be changing it too often. And then if you have a couple of showers a day, your towel might still be wet.

I don't shower twice a day. You're so wet. Oh gosh. Do your hand squid you when you get out of the shower. 75% of people said no. I cannot believe this. I thought everybody did this. No.

Try it. All I'm asking is that you give it a go and I feel like you're gonna be like, I can see why they do this. I'll try it. All I'm asking is that you give it a go and I feel like you're gonna be like, I can see why they do this. I'll try it. I'm gonna have a shower after the gym today. I'm gonna shower at Fletcher's. Yeah, well I'll make sure he watches you.

Wow, we'll be in the shower together. Yeah. I do have a shower that's enough for two people. We're short on time. What's the maximum amount of people you've had in there? Well I don't know, but. No, no, at once. people you've had in there. Well, I don't know, but... No, no, at once. When you've been in there, how many people have been in there?

Just you. Just one. He lives alone. Who else would be in the shower? Oh, the cat comes in sometimes. Nah, I don't believe it. So 1.2. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Well, 75% of people do not hand squeegee. 25% do hand squeegee. Sorry, how many? One. I was just reading, so I saw... Plus him or total? Born, excuse me. Well, I'm not saying the number now.

We're just in my friends. No, because the tile I had to get in there and then the electrician was up there and I was obviously watching. The plumber. Yeah, yeah. So I think there's been three. This is four.

That's a hot orgy. All those tradies. That is something I mentioned. A hot orgy of tradies. Help! I just fell in the mud. I need to get into the shower. Let's get to some feedback. Alex says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Do people not like touching themselves because they're wet? I like the towel to absorb it. Aisha says, absolutely. I've even taught my husband and my three-year- old to hand squeegee. It is a lovely practice. Yeah.

Imogen said, I know the girlie said it must be a male thing, but I'm a chick who loves a hand squeegee coming out of the shower. However, once I had a flat man who wouldn't even dry herself with a towel after the shower. She would hop out,

wrap a towel around herself, and then just walk around the house. Oh no. Dripping. Dripping everywhere. It went against everything I believe in. Yeah. That sucks.

I just have to be completely dry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like to drip. Sarah Lee of the Cheesecake Dynasty. Oh my God, send us some. Says it's a boy thing. Yeah, feels pretty good. Sarah then refutes that fact by saying,

Ugh, 100% a hand squeegee and then a shimmy shake. My husband gets out dripping wet and just soaks the entire bloody floor.' Yep, and then you gotta clean it up. It's just more mess. More children need to be taught the squeegee and shimmy shake." So she agrees with the rhetoric that we were raised wrong.

Yeah, she does. "'I don't hand squeegee and I don't linger. Bath mats are there for a reason, guys. Live a little,' said Steph, who I hope never finds happiness. Yeah linger bath mats are there for a reason guys live a little said Steph who I hope never finds happiness Yeah, bath mats are there for a reason how absorbent is your bath mat steering? I've got a very absorbent bath mat, but you are an agent of chaos still stress Tiana said I linger and jiggle. Oh Yeah, okay. Yeah, jiggle dry. I'm gonna linger linger and dribble

Oh yeah, okay. Yeah. Jiggle dry. Linger and dribble. You can't linger too much in winter though. You gotta get the towel on immediately. Katie said, I don't hand squeegee but my husband does. Amy said, yes, but I am a boyish lesbian. Would you like the Instagram account?

Yeah, wouldn't mind it. I'm gonna be pissed, what a minder. Yeah. Although my girly pop girlfriend does tooestered, I wouldn't mind it. Yeah. Although my girly pop girlfriend does too. Oh, she's got a girlfriend. The roll of the eyes that I wish. Was that recorded?

That was like a textbook eye roll and a little flutter and I'm like, you get a grip. She's got a girlfriend? How dare she? No, you're not for long. Sorry. Sorry. I'm in a silly mood. I'm excited. How dare she? No, you're not for long. How dare... HAHAHAHA! Sorry.

Sorry, I'm in a silly mood. I'm excited. And Sandy said, No, you dry yourself in the shower so you don't get cold. If you drip or jiggle or linger, you get cold. And also the reason you stay in the shower and hand squeeze is because there's still a bit of steam around.

It's still nice and warm. Get a better extractor fan. Dude, I've got to get a it. It's still nice and warm. Get a better extractor fan. Dude, I gotta get a better extractor fan. I've got a great extractor fan. My extractor fan. Sounds like it's not that good. I actually said, make sure it's a killer extractor fan. Yeah.

They diddled me on it. I then diddled on the extractor fan, which is also what happened when three people were in Fletcher's shower. Got diddled on the extractor fan. I diddled on the extractor fan. There have never been three people in my shower. I'd shower. Got diddled in the extractor pan. I diddled in the extractor pan. There have never been three people in my shower, I'd just like to say for the record, calm down.

Okay, it might be four, because he indicated it was three, but that's why I said it was a... There have never been four either. Were you included in those numbers? Five then, five. Yeah, well, that's a little bit. Play ZM's Fletch-Born and Hayley.

Listen to this, Lucy Lawless, Melanie Linsky and Robin Malcolm, leading the line up of Kiwi actors. The father, the son and the Holy Spirit of New Zealand actors. Far out in Jarbless, leading the great cast of Kiwi actors starring in the new Pike River Mine disaster film, just called Pike River. The trailer came out because it's been at festivals.

Yeah, it's screening at selected festivals. Yeah, there's festivals around the world. Not out in New Zealand until later this year. Yes, exactly. But honestly, I saw the trailer and it was in Sydney. It just looks amazing. And obviously such a harrowing part of New Zealand's history. Yeah.

And it looks like it's gonna be incredible. You know, a very sad but incredible film. And I saw this, I was like, man, look at this cast. And then I was like, oh my God. And I had a flashback to what I will consistently call, when people talk about it, like actors talk, the worst audition I've ever done in my life. One that was so bad, afterwards, I got in the car and was like,

I don't reckon I'll ever do that again. Because audition? It was so bad that you were like, I'm out. How long ago was this when this happened? Like a good couple of years ago. Because it's been a while hasn't it? Obviously the casting was years ago and then the film. Years ago, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I went in to audition and I'm always like, why did I, why did I even think, anyway, I went into audition for this to play one of the people

going into like risk, you know, sort of emergency services. Like a paramedic two. Yeah, or something like that. Paramedic number three. Yeah, yeah, I kind of remember. You had lines? Yep, there were lines and the lines were, the scene was all,

I'm not breaching a thing, no, because it's already out. The scene was all about like, I was sort of in charge of this team and I had to be like, right, here's the plan. Okay. We're gonna go do this. We're gonna do this and then you're gonna do this and blah, blah, blah.

You move a big rock or two. Something like that. And we'll, yep. Yeah. And in the middle, this has never ever happened to me before. You move a big rock or two something. Yeah. Yeah and In the middle this is never ever happened to me before in the military You do you always do one type your first type just do one, you know You're first off you think give you like a sample of the script Yeah, right, which is why you can never talk about it because you are privy to something that people don't know about. Yeah

Yeah, now it's fine. So you do you do your scene and they film that. And then usually afterwards they'll be like, okay, great, why don't we try this or a bit more of this? And then you get probably a second one and that's usually it. Could you be more sad? Be more sad, be more jovial, da da da da da. Try this, have this thought in your head. But I didn't even get to that point.

I was doing my first offer take acting against the thing and then the casting agent who shall remain nameless had the papers in her hand and she just throws them. No! No, no, no! What are you doing? And I was like... Wow how did you get this so wrong? What did she any notes or just screamed at you and that was it? Yelled at me and then was like basically just talked to me like I was such an idiot for the way that I had pitched it. She was like what are you serious? This is a disaster. Where is your immediacy? Hayley you didn't add a line of a couple of jokes did did you? Well, that's my go-to. That's where I thrive.

You didn't come in, you were like, two, three, four, we're going to rest the pad. And the mind is going to say the lies and everything will be fine. I'm risk number one. It was the weirdest thing. Like, just let the audition be bad and then let it go.

And just say, we'll be in touch. She threw her papers down and was like, ugh. Oh. Oh, you were that bad though? That bad. Oh wow. Wow. And then I was so like, oh my God,

that the next take I did would have been the most ham acting. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! Oh my God, it was honestly the most- I can't wait to see the movie to see, do you know who got the role? No, no idea, it was very minor. I wanna see who got it and how they delivered it.

Yeah, me too, me too, me too, me too. You're going to be watching that movie, waiting for that one scene. Actors talk all the time about bad auditions and it's usually like I did a bad job or I forgot my lines or it all fell apart. This one I was like, she just threw down her papers, screamed at me about how wrong I got it, and then told me to be more urgent, and then I just did the worst ham acting of my life. I couldn't imagine anything worse than going into a room, like job interviews are bad enough,

but going into a room where there's a couple of people watching you and you just act the same. How many people do you tend to watch? There'll be usually like two, maximum three, and if you get further along, then they'll start bringing in like the director and there's something rather, and there could be more. But usually it'll just be like the casting agent

and maybe your reader, who's reading opposite you. Right, right, no thanks. Often, the worst part is often the reader is your mate. So then they're also watching you eat shit. Oh right. So your friends watching you eat shit. So your friend saw you eat shit? Yeah, I think it might have been lovely Leon Wadham, who we all know was in Lord of the Rings and stuff.

I think it might have been him watching me absolutely die. Did he give you some feedback after? Was he like, yeah that was terrible? I wasn't that bad. She maybe shouldn't have reacted like that. I mean you know how I receive received feedback like wasn't that bad. So disastrous. It's not like the exact wording has stuck with you for years. No no no no no literally years and years and years. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchforn and Hayley. It's Nats guys ZM, Fletchforn and Hayley at 7.30. Canterbury School has sold 10,000 blocks of butter.

10,000 blocks of butter. In a fundraising drive. Where'd they get the butter from? Well, for a start, I wanna say the butter, the blocks of butter were $4 and 250 grams. So that's still cheaper, cause about $10 being going for the, for the hundred gram, for the, for the,

Spit it out. 500. 500 grams. I just forgot how much a block of butter weighs. Which was about $10 being going for the, for the hundred gram, for the, for the... Spit it out. 500 grams. I just forgot how much a block of butter weighs. 500. It's 500 grams. Do you know my favourite thing about a block of butter? What? The lines on the side?

Same, love the lines on the side. High five. Best thing about a block of butter. I love it. I don't... high five. I wanna come across it. It's terrible. Okay, I wanna high five.

High five. High five. For the lines on a block of butter, high five. I love them. Yeah. 50 Gs. I wouldn't trust it in a recipe, but it's a good wanna high five a little bit. High five. For the lines on a block of butter, high five. Hey, I love them. Yeah. 50 Gs, 50 Gs, 50 Gs. I wouldn't trust it in a recipe, but it's a good ruffin'.

I use it for recipes, I never weigh my butter. Rogue. Because she wonders why she has those cookies that are really flat and dry. You said you like my cookies. Sometimes, I mean I guess it just depends where the line is on the butter. Yeah, if it's been spot on or off.

If it lines up, yeah. It's hard, because when you cut it out and then the paper sort of slips through it and you is on the butter. Yeah, if it's been spot on or off. If it lines up, yeah. It's hard because when you cut it out and then the paper sort of slips through it and you're like, ah, am I going straight? This is quite an odd school fundraiser, but in this kind of time, if you've got cheap butter. What do you want? So it's Westland dairy, it's like a proper butter.

It's not somebody who's just whipped out the churn and given it the old. But did they get it at some kind of amazing bulk price? They must have. They must have. They must have. And that's like 10,000 blocks of butter. But how have you like little Timmy, going around the neighbourhood, knocking on doors,

and you're like, hey, missus, would you like to buy some butter? Yes, please. And then I've got some in my school bag and my Mac pack. Oh, yes, please. And this will melt it. No, I reckon it'd be one of those ones

where the school fundraiser is that you order it, and then there's a delivery day. Right, okay. And mum drives you around in the car and. You got your Chilla bag. Yeah, you got a Chilla bag, you got a Chilla bag and you're taking your three blocks of butter to Mrs. Medriga.

So were they marking it up? They must have been, they must have got it at a discount. A really good deal. The Westland Dairy Fundraising page, they must do a deal for schools, they'll sell you a bulk butter at a bulk rate. Man, that's odd, eh, because our fundraisers were just like chocolate bars.

They were so good, man. The size of the $2 chocolate bar that we used to have to do with the little purple boxes. Perfect size chocke. I saw a guy walking down the street the other day with one of those purple boxes of chocolates, the fundraiser chocolates. And I'm like, this poor guy has some kid that's like,

Dad, take it to your work and make everyone buy chocolate. Me and my brother used to just hoon the caramelos. You always had just the dairy milk and then you had the caramel. My brother and I would just dip it and my mum would be like, where are the chocolate? Well now, your father, go and ask your father for $10 because we'd hit five.

Give him a little bit. That was literally what would happen every time. Yeah, every time, we'd be like, dad, oh, can we top up the box? So somebody said, my sister goes to the school, you scan a QR code and order it from the company, but the school gets cut. Oh, okay.

I thought I wanted it handed to me. Modern, eh? Modern, very modern fundraising there. We didn't scan a QR code with the Choccy Box. Back in the day. No. We did plastics. Also then, you're cutting out the bloody kids

that could pocket the money, eh? Oh, yeah. That's actually a really good call. Like a classic, oh, but miss, I lost all my blocks of butter. Yeah. Do you know my marching- I was robbed by whatever eats butter. My marching team back then,

because you've got to fundraise a lot to travel around with marching, because no one funds it, because they don't believe it's a real sport, which it is. It's not really a sport. We'll come back to that. But my team, this is well before I joined,

used to do dog rolls as a fundraiser. Oh, good. I remember. They must have had a hookup to get them cheaper and do dog rolls. This is what we wanted to talk about this morning. What was your fundraiser or what is your fundraiser if you're still part of a club? Yeah, I see pies still happen, family pies. I thought that was gone, but people would back to pies. I remember when I played cricket when I was at high school, our cricket club,

we would go sometimes, you'd do a shift that the newspaper plays and you'd insert the glossy magazines or inserts. Cause someone has to do that. Like if it was a circular or like a, you'd put that into each paper. Oh, gosh. And then they would pay the club

and it'd be like a fundraiser. We did stock take for hockey. Yes, we did stock take. We did stock take at the supermarket and it sucked. So boring. Did you steal any chocolate bars? Nah, but they were like... Because I'd just be like, there were only 42 caramelos. Um...

The other ones and me. Someone just texted in Hayley Fletcher Vaughan, which I think we're going to reshuffle the order of the show. I think that's a nice ring to it. My daughter has Whitakers Chockeys for sale for a fundraiser. Let me know if you want some. 250 per bar. For a whole block? A little bit.

No. Oh, a little one. Is it a slab? Is it all, Armand Gold? Do we have Armand Gold? Talk to me when you've got some Armand Gold or a big slab there. Is it a triple pack of Armand Gold?

Well, Bada, it's an odd fundraiser, but this is what we wanna know this morning. 0800 DIALSATEM, call us now, text her in 9696. What was your fundraiser? We're talking about fundraising. A Christchurch school sold 10,000 blocks of butter through their fundraising efforts because of how crazy butter is.

Expensive, like crazy price. Crazy expensive, yeah. Not just how crazy butter is. Man, have you seen that butter? It's crazy. Dude, crazy! And theirs was like a little bit cheaper raise, so people would lapping that up.

But yeah, we wanna know what you had to do. Either, I mean, back in the day, maybe at school, or for a sports team. Or maybe you still do it, and you still participate in these charity events. These fundraising events, sorry. Somebody messaged, cheese rolls, cheese rolls. Cheese rolls.

That's a big Southland fundraiser. Yeah, massive. What do you mean, you never heard of cheese rolls? No, I know cheese rolls, but I didn't know that people make them. I'm not, I'm from... You're from Rangayorta. You're from the South Island, you should know that.

I mean, that's a little final for a cheese roll, eh? It's the South South. No, it's still, they'll still do a cheese roll. They'll still do a cheese roll. If my body was born in Rangayorta, my brain and heart was born in Wellington. Do they, so your mum makes them and then you sell them? Yeah, or you make them, yeah.

Oh, me? And you sell them and you have them as good. Well, they can't be cheap to make now sell them? Yeah, or you make them, yeah. Oh, man. And you sell them and you have them. Although they can't be cheap to make now with cheese. Cheese and butter. The price, yeah. Nah, back in the day though. Hey, no way, Jose. They're using margarine, aren't they?

His name's Fletch. No way, Jose. Why, his name's Fletch. Oh, now I'm saying it to you. No way, Jose. My name's Hayley. So calling us Jose. Or Se.

Jade, good morning, What was your fundraiser? Good morning. Uh, I am the tuck shop lady and my daughter's school. Oh, hello. Okay. Well, and so is the tuck shop just a big fundraiser? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So when the government shut down their thing for the thing went under for their lunches and schools, some of them did, uh, it was like, oh, there's a tuck shop. And then the person was like, you can run it. And then the loser was like, oh, help. And... Hey, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.

You're in charge of the giant jackers. If you want to do a loser's, how about that giant cock up of a lunch program the government put in place? Yeah. Wait, Jade, what's your specialty in your shop? Is it a giant cookie? Nah, you've got gotta be quite healthy.

However, today's Paito Friday. Hey! Yay! And so, where does the money go? Does it go to the school? Or to Tams? It's going to the kids. Yeah, the kids are going to Samoa in September.

Oh, must be nice. Where does a sports exchange with Auckland? I know we went to French Polynesia. If you're playing rugby can you imagine anything more terrifying than that? We're gonna do a rugby trip. Where are we going? Samoa. No absolutely not. No I'd tap out of that. Jade thank you. Good luck with the Friday Friday Joe. Yeah. Fee, good morning, what was your fundraiser? More than that. I was in a Shilohan Shakespeare Festival and we had to raise money to go.

Okay. Hang on just to pause to nerd for a second. What was the play and what role did you play? It was A Midsummer Night's Dream and I played Puck. Oh yeah, you've got Puck energy fee. I don't know what a Puck is. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening.

But do people tend to give money to? Shakespeare Festival. A Shakespeare Festival drama troupe? We were, I was from Aranoi High School, so Aranoi represent in Christchurch. Aranoi represent. And we did a fundraiser, my dad worked in New Zealand and we went out to the runway and cleaned the runway.

Cleaned the runway? How do you clean a runway? Are you just like, oh, there's a stone, I better pick it up. Yeah, we like rocked up and they were like, you have to clean the runway. Yeah. And so we had to pick up bits of rubbish.

And I think I have a distinct memory of being driven back to the beginning and the big fire truck. Or water blasted or just picks stuff up. No, just, just had a rubbish bag and just picked it up. Oh, rubbish is making it on the runway. Just like some twisties wrappers or something. Like surprisingly a lot. You think about it, the only person Just like some twisties wrappers or something. Yeah, it was like surprisingly a lot. Oh wow.

You think about it, the only person that can wind down their window on a plane is the pilot. Yeah. So they must be tossing their rubbish out the window. They're just like, I don't need this half a muffin. Yeah. Chuck it out the window. Yeah, bottle caps.

Were they like, kids, we've got a plane landing, just move off. No, I think we were on runways that were not open that day. Oh, OK. What year are we talking, Fee? This has got big green 9-11. No, I think we were on runways that like were not open that day What year are we talking fee this guy's a big it's got big 90s. It's got big 90s No, it was like 2004 or five Yeah, the same festival did they check that all these children were members of um al-qaeda She's had full security checks? Full security checks, yeah.

Love that. Yeah, so we got that and I think it was about a thousand bucks that we got. Oh amazing. Man, that's sick. Why not? Good stuff. I'd probably do it for free just to play on a runway. Just to play on a runway, that'd be pretty amazing.

Thank you, Faye. Some messages in your... God, no shortage of them. Your fundraisers. My school fundraiser was at high school. They used to get us picking grapes at the local vineyard. Looking back now, it was just free labour, basically. Yeah.

Very, very cheap, cheap labour. Thanks for the wine though. Because it would be a donation, right? Like a... Yeah, the company gives you a donation. Yeah. And they can donate to the school and it's a tax write-off. Yeah.

Cheeky. The rich get richer, man. The rich keep on getting richer, man. I also do marching. I'm in the South Island. We sell cheese rolls. Yeah. We used to all sit in a hall over the weekend and sit there and make them by hand, package them and then give them to the people who purchase them. But these days you'd be using margarine wouldn't you? Oh, 100% money wise. Country school we had stubble cross. People paid a hoon around a paddock on motorbikes

after it's been harvested for grain. Parents had to be marshals. But yeah, they just basically pay for access to a paddock and then bled around a motorbike. And then bled around, okay. We delivered phone books. Hours spent riding in the back of the trailer around town.

That's right, phone books. Do you remember that? And then even like, do you remember in the 2000s, everyone was like, stop doing that. We don't need a phone book. The yellow pages, the things to do you remember in the 2000s, everyone was like, stop doing this. Like, we don't need a phone book. The Yellow Pages, the thing that's do the walk-in. So many. And entertainment books, we sold those.

Yeah, yeah. Man, bring them back, eh. Recipe books. What's the weirdest one, do you reckon, of all the fundraisers? Because that's why the butter one was a bit weird, it's so left field. Stock take at the warehouse to fundraise for Scouts,

again free labour. No, they didn't use margarine on their cheese rolls this Marching Girl. Oh my god, they must be like eight dollars a cheese roll. Yeah, wow, money bags. Gumdrops desserts? A couple of people messaged in. Well they put in the gumdrops.

No, they do orders, they go around and they order them and then they take a little cart. Why would the little kids are thumbing in the gumdrops into the goodie goodie? They thumb in, yeah they do, they have small children. Is it where it's all even? Yeah, that's why it's perfectly even, the small children. Wow!

But they wear gloves, they do wear gloves. Yeah. And they're allowed to lick the gloves, oh when they're finished. Absolutely. Selling infused olive oils was what got me to South Africa for a first aid competition. A competition of first aid? I'm sorry, what? How quickly can you stop this person from choking?

Hopefully as fast as possible. And they're like, we're sorry, Deidre from Australia, you're eliminated from this round, your plaster's wonky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and your patient died. We marshaled the rally of New Zealand. Wow. Oh, I wouldn't want that. So they let you shut down the road and you hold a flag

and you're like, stop, and the car comes around and it's like WAAAAAAA Someone asked does it count that they used to flog off Siggy's at high school to get some coin for the tuck shop No, that's entrepreneurial That's actually business minded Business minded, yeah That's taking a bulk purchase, breaking it down into a single unit and selling it for a profit per unit You're a genius

And they were dads in the first place, do you know what I mean? So upfront costs were nothing, zero. We're just net profit. Play ZM's Fletch Born and Hayley. Now, the New Zealand Music Awards were on last night and our lovely Pixie from the office joins us because she was in attendance.

I was very lucky to get to be on the show. Oh my God, you didn't have your fader up. That was actually on your flesh. And it's your hour. No, you should see, he'sader up. That was actually on your flash. Amateur hour. No, you should say he's actually been sort of scrambling through the whole week. I would just say, I'd say that should be mic three, not mic one. It should go one, two, three.

Yeah, you're right. And it's thinking about it logically. Yeah, yeah. Very logical. So did you just attend in a work capacity or did you just went to enjoy the performances? In kind, bit of both, bit of both. Bit of both. But it was a good time.

I didn't feel like work. Who performed? Who won? There's more than one award. There are a few winners. Who won the award? Who won the one award? Yeah.

Well, Cassie. Cassie won Best Pop Artist. Best Pop Artist. And Lorde won. Best Single of the Year for her song Girl So Confusing Charlie XCX. And here's her acceptance speech. All these incredible women who have come before me, not just my mum, my ancestors, but all the women who make New Zealand music what it is. Because it's hard to have these hard conversations as women but

your life gets better if you do it. So she won single of the year for Girl So Confusing featuring Lorde with Charli XCX. Yes. Because that was a controversial nomination wasn't it? Because it was a Charli XCX song that Lorde was on not a Lorde song. When it was announced like the room was quite quiet like we didn't really know what to expect. Yeah and then this girl just like pops up and walks up on stage and we're like okay and then Jessie Mulligan's like welcome Ella and we're all like whipping out our phones. He named her Ella. Yeah. Oh that's disrespectful Jessie, I'm sorry, pull them up on that. She goes by Lord. She goes by Lord.

How are the performances? I saw there was a Kapahaka group there and Stan Walker performed to us. Honestly, what a great- Maori kuta ao. So good. Like, there were flags coming, popping up all through the crowd

for like the Te Riti o Waitangi, and like, oh, it was just so good. We loved that. His performance was insane. Who else was performing? Cause there were what? Phaser Days. She won Artist of the Year. She was actually really epic.

Yeah. I've only done, I've only attended the New Zealand Music Awards once and I was hosting it and it was COVID time so no one was really there. Just a little Zoom call. Just me and Stan Walker hanging out. We used to go to the Music Awards and just get razzed. Really? And then it used to be like a table thing. It used to be like a sit down table. Yeah. And musicians were not happy that the radio people were really helping themselves even though we were like who plays your music? Yeah. What was the highlight of the night for you, Pixie?

I reckon the last, the medley, they got like 12 Kiwi artists up on stage and they all performed like a medley of songs, ended it on Dave Dobbin. Did they do the Grease medley? Grease mega-mercs. A New Zealand version of that with Dave Dobbin songs. You would not be mad if all the Kiwi artists came in,

and Stella's like, Summer lovin', havin' a blast. But he didn't do that. I know, but like Savage got up, OMC got up. I saw that Savage was. Georgia Lines, Paige. OMC's. How Bizarre. Dead.

Poorly from OMC's. Well someone played How Bizarre. Someone came out and did How Bizarre. This ghost, it was a hologram. Oh okay. A lookalike, they pulled in a lookalike. Is he actually dead? Is he sexually dead?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Years ago. Paulie, Paulie Fowler-Moiner, is that right? Oh, okay. From OMC. It must have been a hologram then. I don't know. Got the budget on this thing.

Hologram posse. Well, speaking of Kenway Music, thank you Pixie. Friday Flashback is next, because it's New Zealand Music Month. You're gonna go out with a banger to end it. Yeah, we're all in agreement. That's a great song. It was, when it was big, it was inescapable.

It launched a phrase, like if someone said two certain words, you had to say two certain words straight afterwards because those are the rules for many years. And people still do. My father recently did Also after that we're gonna start the long weekend name train ahead of the long weekend We think or Vaughn you think this could be the replacement for the long weekend group to correct Yes, which is long been the time. It's a little bit of a competition between the names

Yeah, so if your name is Jess or you know a Jess a Jessica a Jess a Jessie Mm-hmm. They must be listening next. Tell them. Play ZM's Flesh, Bourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Flesh, Bourne and Hayley. It is the long weekend now for years. We did the long weekend group too and boy it just brought the nation together.

Some of the nation's happiest memories. Sometimes people still text in because you know we had to put it down didn't we the long weekend group, we had to hire it. Phone technology changed, basically, phone, you couldn't put them out the window anymore. Yeah, the gate softens and kills the background noise, so you wouldn't hear the toot.

And so you go toot, toot, toot, and your phone's like, that's quite loud. I'm now only listening to things that loud. And then the distant toot, we would never hear it. It was hard, sometimes we couldn't hear your horn because the car was, because the phone was running on the end cast down. It was so sad, but it was euthanized

before it suffered any pain. Yeah, yeah. So I've been racking my brain at the Vaughan Smith thought laboratory. So busy in there. It's a busy lab, we wear coats. I'm the cleaner. The Vaughan Smith thought laboratory.

A lot of it doesn't get through, I'll be honest. Yeah, I know, I know. A lot of whiteboard rubbing out. A lot of it doesn't make it to air. Screwing up papers and throwing a massive pile in the corner. But this one I think has got legs. Because... Well, you've had an intro made even.

Because everybody has a name. Yeah. And so I would like to introduce you all now to the Long Weekend Name Train. All aboard! Fledg Fawn and Haley's Long Weekend Name Train. They call me Jess! Yes, that's my name! Jess, your first cab out of the rank. Every Long Weekend, we're going to pick a different name. Obviously, it will have to be a popular name.

One of the more popular names, one of your top 10 names. Yep. And it's a sort of a competition, inter-name competition. So Jess is going to be the first cab out of the rank. Yep. And it's a sort of a competition, inter name competition. Right. So Jess is going to be the first cab out of the rank. Yeah. And they are going to set the bar for how many carriages we can hook onto the name train. So from here on out on the show, for the rest of the show, we only want to hear from Jess's. Yeah. Okay. So if your name is Jess, Jessie, if you go by Jess, we want to hear from you. Jessica, Jessie.

Jess. Yeah. That's it. Texts don't count. Jess, Jessica, Jessica. Gender we cannot. Yeah. No. Now, okay. That's it. Texts don't count. Jess, Jessie, Jessica, gender we cannot. Yeah, no. Now, okay, so this idea of one, how many Jesses do you want? I want 50 Jesses before the end of the show. Great. Before nine o'clock. And the 45 minutes. I want 50 god damn Jesses. Is that?

Take it off. Oh, a hundred dials, any of them if you're a Jess. A horde. A horde. I've looked up what a, 50 people. A horde. I don't wanna be a pessimist, but. Oh, shut up. A Jessamist. How many Jesses.

Be a Jessamist, not a pessimist. But how many Jesses will even be listening. Oh, here they come, I'm texting him, but it doesn't count. Let's go to the phones. Okay. Hello, what's your name? Your name, I'm Jessica.

Yeah, that's a Jess. Okay, so, and now what do I do? You hit the next thing. Hey, congratulations. Name. Yes, it's your name! Okay, so, and now what do I do? You hit the next thing. Hey, congratulations. Name! Yes, it's your name. Jessica, you are the first person to ever compete in the Long Weekend Name Train.

You are the first, Jess. This is monumental for you. How do we know she's not called Sarah and she's lying just to get on the radio? We don't have liar listeners. Oh my God! We've got lesbian listeners. Listen to this.

Listen to this. She's not lying. How dare you accuse Jess of lying? That was really, you were very offended. I apologise. I'm sorry, Jess one, we love you so much, but we've got to get to our next Jess. We've got to go to Jess, Jessica two. Jess or Jessica, good morning. Hello Jess.

Hi. Hi, you are a Jess, confirming? Yes, I am a Jess. Yes, that's my name. Yeah, okay great. Are they all going to be the slow Jesses? Is it a slow Jess? No, it's a slow Jess.

Okay, so we're going to go to Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Jessica two. Hello Jess. Hi. Hi, you are a Jess, confirming? Yes, I am a Jess. Yes, that's my name. Yeah, okay great.

Are they all going to be this slow? Is it a Jess thing? I think it's because we're saying, hello Jess, come in. And you're all like, we're all Jess. We're all Jess, we're all Jess. Okay, thank you Jess. Is this a Jess?

Good morning Jess. Hi, I'm Jess. Hi Jess. Hi Jess. Are you Jessica by birth or just Jess by choice? Jess by choice. Jessica by birth. No thanks. Thank you Jessica. You know what? We've now said the word so many times it's lost all meaning to me.

It's got a name. It's got a name anymore. It's the same. Are you happy that it's your name that Vaughan's picked Jess? Oh I was stoked. Especially for the first one. Hell yeah welcome. You can start with the best. This is a moment in time.

I didn't think Vaughan Week was the strongest one to kick it off. Now what happens if like a Darryl calls up? He'll get absolutely reamed. We destroy him. We make him remember this day for the rest of his life. Is this a Jess? Good morning.

Yes it is. I'm Jess for today, but I was Jess too the other day. Oh, you're Jess too. We kind of dipped a toe in the water last week. Yeah, we took that to the Vaughan Smith Thought Laboratory. Jess 2, who's now Jess 4. How do you feel about this? Oh, I'm not too happy, but it's okay.

Wait, you're not happy because now you're 4 and not 2 like you were before? Yeah, I started with 4. But what about the fact that it's your name? It's your time to shine. I'm just thinking, this could be confusing some listeners. This was Jess that called like a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, 10 days ago.

We had two Jesses at the same time. We had a roll of Jesses. This does bring another question. What happens if we talk to a Jess, like Jess one, two, three, four, or whatever, and then they call later before nine o'clock, doubling up. Well, they could have to put on an accent

and a character. Yeah, they could have to character work it. But also, I can't tell. I don't think we should allow character, Jesses. All these white women sound the same to me. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha. I said Jesses are very white now. Thank you Jess for it. Thanks Jess for it, but previously Jess too. Jess five, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I'm just wondering though, Jess.

We are one tenth of the way to my goal of having a horde of Jesses. See, we're gonna absolutely hit 50. No, but Jess five, how would you find this listening if your name wasn't Jess? Like if your name was Sophie, and you were just listening to the show. I think they want us to hit 50.

Would you be invested? I'm a Haley listening and all I'm thinking is we gotta get to 50. We're gonna get 50 Jesses. And also if you're listening and you're not a Jess and you know a Jess get help us next round. Next round weekend when it's your turn Amy. Oh you think it's going to be Amy.

I think Amy versus Jess. Yeah. Okay thank you Jess5. We see you Matt bonus points if you're not gay. Yeah. Jess6 good morning. Morninga. Are you Jess?

I'm Jessie by the way, but I'm not as Jess now. Okay, I've been forgetting to play that thing, Vaughan. That's right. It's our first time where we're getting that name. We're fumbling around, it's our first time we're fumbling. Fumbling around, I think we've got more Jesses. Jess 6, thanks for joining the show, have a lovely day. Jess 7, good morning.

Morning. Morning, Jess 7. Do you like your name Jess7? Well, it was my username for a while, so it makes sense. Wait, you're telling me Jess7 was your username and you just happened to be Jess7 on the name train game? Yeah, it was Jess07. Wow. What the shit?

You can't tell me that's... Was your password... I'm Tingly Wingly. Was your password 12345? No. Was it password Jess07? She's not dumb. She's a Jess.

Possibly. We love our Jesses. I just found it, password Jess07. Thank you, Jess07. Jess8, good morning. Good morning. Jess8. Sounds good, feels good.

Are we just gonna keep doing this? Jess, um... Jess? Jess, do you have a best friend called Hayley? Cause my best friend's called Jess. No, I don't. You could be my best friend. No, I said I've already got one.

Oh wow. I knew when I was four. I don't want you Jess 8, I've got Jess for him. I don't have a best friend called Jess. I'm happy to take you on Jess 8. There you go. Yes please. Yeah, okay.

Okay, fantastic. Well, Jess 8 was my best friend. I'm going to put a special sparkle beside her. Okay. Put a sparkle. Jess 9, good morning. Good morning. Do you get called Jessica ever?

Only from my mother when I've done something wrong. Jessica! Oh yes. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, the full name happens. Yes, that's what my best friend's mum used to say. Jessica Jane Freeman. Thank you, Jess Nine, thank you so much.

Uh oh, we just hit Jess 10, good morning. Good morning. Whereabouts in the country are you Jess 10? I am in Masterton. Oh lovely Masterton, beautiful villas. I wonder if we should be asking the Jesses where they're from to get like a, there might be a saturated spot of Jesses. I see how this is evolving as we're doing.

I love you. I love it. And I tell you what, I love you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I love Jess 10. Thank you Jess 10. She's no Jess, thank you. And I love Jess 10. Thank you, Jess 10. Jess 11. She's no Jess 9, but she was a great Jess 10. Yeah, Jess 11, good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Whereabouts are you calling from, Jess 11? So I'm in Auckland and I'm actually a Jessie. Jessie! Jessie! We're accepting. I'm pretty sure Hailey follows me on social. I bet you.

Uh-oh. Oh, here we go. Someone's creeping. Oh, wow. Okay, do you now? Somebody's creeping. Do you now? Hang on.

That's my name. I forgot to play the thing again. That's my name again. Sorry. Are you Jessie Kirk? Yes. Oh my god, I love you. Thank you.

What does Jessie Kirk do? What does Jessie do? What do you think? Jessie Kirk does the most amazing outfits and just fashion and style. So you're telling me Jess is a fashionista? A fashionista. I do follow Jessie. Yes, it's me.

Do you follow me? Yes, I do. Do you follow? I was a bit scared. I was a desperate follow. Do you follow me, Jessie? I do. I'm pretty sure I do.

Okay. Fantastic. Wow. Thanks, Jessie. Also, Jessie, I do, I'm pretty sure I do. Okay, fantastic. Wow. Thanks, Jessie Levin. Hey, also, Jessie, I just wanna say good luck on your journey.

You've been going through a breast cancer journey, man. I've been following that. You're just absolutely incredible. Thank you, I appreciate it. Oh, mate, you're just killing it. Thank you for sharing everything you do. How good is this? We're just connecting with Jesses.

Yeah, I know, and Jesses. Thank you, thank you, Jessie. Thank you, Jessie. Jessica, Jess 12? Hi. What a lovely,, thank you, Jessie. Thank you, Jessie. Jessica, Jess 12? Hi. Hi, what a lovely, bright sounding Jess. How old are you, Jessica? How bright is Jess so far?

I'm nine. You're nine! I thought so, I could hear a youth in you. Yeah. And do you go by Jess or Jessica? Usually Jessica. Okay, so how are you loving the new segment so far? Are you enjoying this game? Yep.

Family friendly, much better than the smut. Hayley's usually peddling on the show. I do apologise Jessica, sometimes I'm a bit naughty. She's a naughty girl. Thank you Jessica 12, have a great day. Wait Jessica, what do you want to be when you grow up? Um, a dancer. Oh my god, you live your dream, you spin those spins.

Spin those spins and do those grooves, babe. Thank you Jessica Dwell. I think we end with an unlucky Jess13. Yes, agree. Unlucky for some. Unlucky for some. Baker's dozen of Jesses. Yeah, before we take a pause in the game.

We're going to get to 50 no doubt. Jess13, good morning. Hello. Good morning. Oh, that was a bit sultry. We've got a sultry Jess. Sultry Jess13. 13.

Oh, I'll take that. Yeah.. We've got a sultry Jess. 13. Do you think 13 is an unlucky number, Jess, or do you think it's lucky? We'll go with lucky. Would you be enjoying this competition if your name wasn't Jess? No. You don't think so? Not as much. I think we've gone too niche here. I think we might've gone too niche.

Right. Now we have some messages in, someone said please do a crystal segment. I just feel like it's gonna be smaller. No, I feel like you might get 20 crystals. Yeah. But we're not doing crystals today. We're not, we're after a hoard of Jessica.

Do you know we could, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so we're at 13 Jessas. 13 Jessas. On the long weekend name train. We're gonna come back next. Oh! Okay, so we're at 13 Jesses on the long weekend name train. We're gonna come back next. Oh, okay. So Jess is gonna update. The person who starts should choose the name

that we use next long weekend. Oh, we'll get Jess one back on. Oh yeah, what a great idea. Or the last Jess. No, the last Jess, 50 Jesses. Yeah, that's a great idea. But then if she picks some rogue name because she wants Jesses to reign supreme,

we're probably gonna overrule her. Oh yeah, she'll be like, Florence. Yeah. Florence. Florence. We're not even going to get one, dude. We're not even going to get one. Now you've killed the game.

Yeah, yeah. Great idea. Okay, well if your name is Jess, I'll 800 dials at them. If you know a Jess, message them. Tell them to call. All aboard. Fletch, Vaughan and Haley's. Long weekend name train.

They call me Jess. Jess. Yes, that's my name. We're at a baker's dozen of Jesses. If you just joined the show. Weekend name train. They call me Jess. Jess. Yes, that's my name. We're at a baker's dozen of Jesses, if you just joined the show. We're aiming to get 50 Jesses in a row on the show. So we can say we collected a horde of Jesses.

Now, can I just inject a little bit of feedback here? Absolutely, this is an evolving segment. First time, this is too exclusive, I don't feel involved. Well, no, you've just messaged in. You're involved with you like that or not. Yeah, to be fair. You partake in the show. We took on your feedback, told you you were wrong. Also, and now we're asking you to get back to work. Yeah. That's actually just a lovely idea to reach out to a Jess this long.

Yeah. Jess, Jess 14. Good morning. Good morning. Hi. What a bubbly Jess. What bubbles next to her name. What are the plans this long weekend, Jess 14? Oh, absolutely nothing. Probably just do something with my kids. We live out on our feet, so they might hit the beach.

Oh, yes. Nice. Go for a walk. That sounds heavenly, Jess. That's so wholesome. It's nothing, but to me that sounds like everything. I've got to get out there. Yeah, that sounds nice.

I also have a wholesome weekend. Jess14 have a lovely long weekend. Jess15 good morning. Good morning. Now what are your plans for the long weekend? I just have some good family time. Dude we'll hear from some very wholesome Jesses. We're on a streak of wholesome Jesses.

Can we get some naughty Jesses calling up as well? Thanks Jess15, Jess16. I keep forgetting to play the thingvorn. Is your name Jess16? Marina, guys this is the best name ever. Yes that's my name. Only because your name is Jess, I feel like the feedback from non-JESSs isn't as good. I'm not a Jess and I find this hilarious and then they've used the cat laughing emoji.

Okay well that's nice. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Jess16. Jess16, what era were you born in? Like what year were you born? I was born in 1980, where Jess was the top name. Sarah was the second top name and that's my middle name. Oh, you're Jess Sarah.

Actually interesting, I've had a thought on how we can really liven this up for the last part of the show. We're also not accepting Jess as a middle name, are we? No. If you were Sarah Jess, we would literally, we would roast you on air publicly. Yeah, for interrupting the name train. Yeah, thanks Jess.

I just feel like we're really gonna have to hoon through some Jesses here. Yeah, okay, Jess 17, we're hooning through you. Good morning. Good morning, team. You're a Jess? And I just wanna, I sure are, and I just wanna kick things off by saying,

long time listener, first time caller. Beautiful, Jess. Lovely, Jess, 17. I can't even consider the fact that we might get a long time listener, first time caller, and a Jess all in one day. Have a great weekend. Have a great weekend.

Jess, 18, good morning. Is that your name? Good morning. Is that your name? Yes it is. Yes that's my name. Jess18, what's your favourite colour? Purple. Oh, of course it is. Controversial. Really controversial actually. They both screwed up their faces. I'm with you Jess, I love your colour. I didn't know about that. I thought you would have been a blue, Jess.

Do you know what? She gave me blue as well. Give a bit of blue energy. Jess 18, thank you. Jess 19, good morning. Jess 19? Jess 19, that's you. That is you. That's my name.

And so I slow you down, but I'm also a long time podcaster and first time caller. Yes, no you're not slow. We'll do that. We'll do that. Jess 19. Downloading the podcast.

Jess, what are you most looking forward to about today? The fact that it's almost a long weekend. Hell yeah, mate. Get it, Jess. Make the most of the weekend. Jess, what are you most looking forward to about today? The fact that it's almost a long weekend. Make the most of the weekend. One of those days at work you can just leave it, you know, one. Yeah, today Jess I want you to kiss someone on the mouth. Love you Jess. Jess 20, this feels good. Hello It's me, Jess. Hey Jess, Jess that's my name.

Hi Jess. Jess 21. Jess 21, what's on the cards for today? Just work. Down from the cargo basically. I think you should also kiss someone on the mouth today. When she said work, I was like, she knows. Yeah, I knew it was a giveaway.

She sounded a bit like she's sorry. Apologise for that. Sorry, jeez. Don't do the jeezes. We love our jeezes. We're encouraging our jeezes. I'm so sorry. That's okay.

I also play Lady versus Trady too. Oh, with Brian Clinton in the afternoon. Okay. Okay, love this. Good stuff, you're a whole show. Are you the Lady or the Trie or the lady tradie? I've played twice, I've been both of them at the moment. Ah, the lady tradie.

That's a lady tradie on her hands. Right, that means you're Jess 21. Thank you, Jess 21, fantastic. Let's go to... I believe we've got a very special Jess situation on... Jessica. Jessica, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Jess.

Now you are Jess. You're Jess 22. I believe you're- Yes, I'm Jess. Jessica. Yeah, Jessica. And I believe you've got another Jess there. Yes, my husband is Jesse.

Are you Jess and Jessie? Jess and Jessie. Yes, we are. Everyone is so surprised by that. What, is he there now with you? No, he's gone to work. Oh, hang on gone to work. It's a good story, but it can't be 23. It can't be 23.

No, it can't be 23. You can't do a by a postal vote or a by proxy. I'm so sorry, Jessica. We'll count you, but not your husband. All good. Thank you. Is it dangerous when like online shopping comes or parcels come and you're just like, it just says J and then your last name and you decide which one is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, not really. He does more online shopping than me, unfortunately. What kind of stuff is he buying online? Oh my gosh, Jujitsu outfits, also owner building. Wait, so he does Jujitsu? You know Jess that's with Jesse does Jujitsu. And he actually does the Israeli version? Yeah. Jujitsu, jujitsu, jujitsu, jujitsu. And he actually does the Israeli version, so he does jujitsu, ju. Right.

Yeah. And then sometimes Jessica goes and watch Jesse does jujitsu. Ju-jitsu. Ju-jitsu. Do you know what I find interesting? We haven't had anyone call up who's not a Jess. I imagine we have derailers.

I thought they'd be derailers, yeah, in the name train. And they'd say, they'd call out the producers, yeah, my name's Jess, and they'll get on here and be like, jokes, it's Daryl! We'll be like, you crazy Daryl. Derailers, so what are we up to? 22?

22. We didn't count Jessie. 22 Jesses. Trying to get 50 Jesses on the show before nine o'clock. We've got Fact of the Day in just a second, but we thought we'd just quickly do a couple more Jesses, because we're up to...

22. 23. So we've got 23. Jess 23, good morning. Good morning, how are ya? Great. I've been calling a long time listener. That's my name.

We just want more time with chess. Things named after places that are named something different there is the theme this week and today we're doing fruit. Mandarin oranges suggest that they are originated in China. They don't, the Chinese call them Juzi and they are called mandarins.

Shush, both of you were trying to do this in a hurry. They are called mandarins because of that. I'm so hungry for a Juzi. King Dynasty, you know, Q-I-N-G. Do you guys want a little fruit salad with some Juzzi? Hayley. Hayley, please. Jane's fall.

Um, it's a Western name referencing the King Dynasty bureaucrats who were known as the Mandarin's who wore orange robes. Oh, OK. The cantaloupe is named after Cantalupo in Italy. And it is grown there in the US. And us, we all call it a cantaloupe, but they don't. They in Italy. And it is grown there in the US. And us, we all call it a cantaloupe, but they don't. They call it a musk melon.

Musk melon. Musk melon. Valencia oranges. Sweet, yum, delicious orange. Actually originally came from California, but they were like, well, we've already got Californian oranges. This is a variety of it.

They then found out they grew really well. Oranges grew well in Valencia. So they were like, let's go plant them there and we'll call them Valencians. And they just called them oranges. And kiwi fruit, named after New Zealand's national bird, the kiwi, originally not even called a Chinese gooseberry in China.

Oh. It was called a monkey peach in China. It was created by New Zealand marketers in the 1950s because we called them a Chinese gooseberry, but the Cold War was going on and they were communists and Americans weren't buying things with China in the title. So they called it a kiwi fruit. So they called it a kiwi fruit because-

So what did they call them in New Zealand? They call them, get this, a kiwi fruit. What? Wild. And it is literally because it was small, brown, and fuzzy, and looked like a kiwi. Amazing. Do we think back to the day now, and then go to some Jesses,

or do we take a couple of Jesses this side of the- Lighting. We'll just take a Jess 26. We're gonna ram a Jess in. You're a Jess? Yes, I'm a Jess. You've just been rammed in Jess. You've been rammed in babes.

You're a rammed in Jess. Have an amazing long weekend. Thank you. I was excited to talk to you guys. I'm excited to talk to you. What are you gonna do this long weekend, Jess? Thank you, you too. Okay, long weekend, Jess? Thank you. You too.

Okay. Bye. I've only just played the thing now. I forgot. Okay. Fine. Jess27, you're a man, Jess. Is this me?

Yeah. Is this our first Jesse guy? Our first man, Jess. Hi, Jesse. Hi, how are you? I was in the... So well, how are you? What's that? My wife, I'm a police officer. I was in the cellar and my wife said you have to

call the EDF, so I just ducked away to the car. Oh my god, thank you for ducking away, Jesse. So he's got this deep voice, that cute little giggle, and he's wearing one of those police blue polos. It's time for the audience. I need to calm down, Jesse. Do you find being a police officer, the polo shirts are too tight around the bicep? Very tight. I wouldn't say too tight, I think they're perfectly tight.

Okay, well that's something Haley said to Jesse. Do they custom make them to your arm? Like do they chuck a couple of stitches in? They don't, but I think they get your size and then just give you a size smaller than that. Yeah. Oh no, that's such a shame. Sounds like whoever's dishing out the uniforms is Hayley. Yeah, I actually do work in the uniform store for the police service. You do a size smaller. Yeah, what your size to it? Large.

Guys stop flirting with Jess27 or we're never gonna get to Jess50G. No, bye Jessy. Bye Jessy. Am I love to your wife? Am I love and respect to your marriage? Yeah, yeah. Jess28, good morning. Good morning. I'm a bit flustered after Jess27. Me too.

Jess28! Jessy, you're right on top of them. Yeah, you are. Jess28, you're on top of them. Oh, now I'm blushing. Jessy has thrown us. Jess 28, he had a wife. And I have a fiance, so look, but you know. Oh, you haven't signed the paperwork yet.

You haven't signed the paperwork. If you're human, you're allowed to be flustered. Yeah, Jess 28, you have a lovely weekend. Thank you, I know. I know, I'm all right, you too. I think we just do one more Jess. Jess, good morning, you're a Jess? Good morning, yes I am.

Yes, that's my name. Great. Fantastic. You's my name. Great. You're a Jess 29. Hello. Hello. Yeah, hi Jess. Hey. Hi, Jess, wait.

Oh, go on. My partner's a Jessie too, and he's here with me. Jessie, wait. Can we just get a hello from- You're not the one that called out before that had another Jessie. No, it's actually not, and my Jesse does jujitsu too. Pass on!
