The ZM Podcast Network. Flesh, wood and hayleys, little bit of pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to a little bit of pod. We do a podcast every day, a little bit of pod over the weekends, over these long weekends. Something for you, something for you to snack on, something for you to eat on every single day.

And at the end of the week, we had Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday to take care of. And I couldn't be fucked. Yeah, you were low CBF levels. I was high CBF levels. It's like saying, turn up the air con. Are they saying make it colder or make it hotter? Yeah. Is it your long COVID?

Is it your slow recovery? I really linger. I mowed, spent the day mowing the lawns and catching up on yard work that I'd missed during COVID this week. And it took me a couple of days to... Yeah, right. I was exhausted. Oh, dear. And anyway, so Carween, producer, said, I've got something.

She's got something to talk about. Here we go. Carween. Well, actually, Vaughan, it involves you. Please open up your email. Oh! We've got surprises. Here we go.

Read it out for me. This is from Readout in Morrinsville, bar and eatery. I'm a big fan of the show and couldn't help notice you have an association with Morrinsville.

A deep association. I'm the manager of one of the local pubs in Morrinsville, the Readout bar and eaterder in Morrinsville. We pride ourselves on being the go-to in the community as much as the New Zealand's, if not the world's, leading Morrinsville-themed bar.

It's a Morrinsville-themed bar. Okay. This is achieved by having photos and memorabilia on the wall of local heroes, villains... Oh, my God. ...images and landmarks. We want to celebrate those who have done good from dear old Morrie. You, my friend, fit into this category

next to my old man's rugby hero, Dwayne Monkley. Underneath Jacinda's photo. Underneath Jacinda's. Underneath. Oh, hi, you're in the same bloody class. Photo. As a spot on the wall for you, would you be able to donate a photo of yourself? Perhaps with a message like, can't wait to call in

your old mate Vaughn. Can't wait the message like, can't wait to call in your old mate Vaughn. Can't wait to call in. Can't wait to call in. Wow, you have made it. Your old mate Vaughn. You were joined by such luminaries as before mentioned, the Clark Brothers, Maria Dallas, the Morrinsville Apprentice hairdresser

come country and Western star. Oh my goodness. Who sniggered? Who did a little snotty? Also, what Clark brothers? I think it was Shannon. I think it must have been Shannon. That's weird.

Georgia would probably know who Maria Dallas. Maria Dallas, Tumbling Down. Oh, she's old school. I'm tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down. I lost my walking stick tumbling And I'm feeling sad I've lost the only love that I ever had These country singers are always losing their love, aren't they? Always losing their love. Yeah.

Yeah, see? Tumbling down I know this song. It is on an ad. What ad was it on? Tumbling down It was on an ad. 100%. For margarine or something. I don't know we had our country and western star. What ad was it on? Tumbling down. It was on an ad.

100%. For margarine or something. I didn't know we had a country and western star. This was in 1966. And she's from Morrinsville. Apparently. Goodness me. I don't mean to be rude. Would she have been able to sign?

I like her voice. She might have passed away. Oh, maybe. Tumbling down. Oh, yeah. Tumbling, t Oh maybe Tumbling down Oh yes Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down

My love came tumbling down Now I know I'm having flashbacks We sung that at primary school We probably would have only sung it because... She's a Morrie. Because she was from Morrinsville. Wow.

Okay, so you're still the least famous person on this wall. The least famous. Yeah, you've scraped in there. You're really scraping in here. She has also got a song called... Tumbling, tumbling down. She's got a song called Pinocchio, which was apparently her bigger hit.

Okay. Let's search. Let's have a listen here. Oh my God, she was discovered at a talent contest in a small town of Morrinsville. He's a wooden doll. He's a wooden doll. There's some sexual undertones here. Tell me lies and you know.

Oh no, she's saying do you love me because she's forcing him to answer honestly. Otherwise his nose will grow. Ah, his nose grows. No, no, no, see, that's what I thought initially, but she's saying do you love me, Pinocchio? And if he says yes and he's lying, the nose is going to grow. If he says no and he's lying, the nose is going to grow. Where's the nose going?

Either way, he's going to have to answer honestly. Who else is on this wall of Morrinsville celebrities? Is that it? Pinocchio. What is the email? The Clark Brothers. I'm not sure who the Clark Brothers are. The Clark Brothers?

I'll just give them a quick Google. Clark Brothers of Morrinsville. Bev May, New Zealand cycling pioneer. I've told you. We've talked about Bev before. She invented the bicycle. She invented the bicycle. Bev May, I've talked about her on the show before and I got back to it.

Because she hit my mum up in the supermarket that I've been talking about her. Only good things. Only good things. She's a very passionate lady. Loved cycling. When Dad belonged to the Morrinsville Wheelers. Jared's right. It was telecom ads. Yeah, I knew it was somewhere.

Back in the day. Really? Like the late 80s, 90s. The telecom ads. Yeah. The tumbling down. I knew I recognised it was somewhere. Back in the day. Really? Like the late 80s, 90s. The telecom ads. Yeah, the tumbling down. I knew I recognised that from somewhere. Doug, Brian and Graham are the Clark brothers. They're famous Morrinsville rugby players.

Right. Well, congratulations. Thank you. Are you what photo are you going to use? You have to get a frame. Do you have to send a photo in a frame? I think it does sound like you've got to provide your own frame Readout bar, readout bar

Readout bar I feel like this is admin you can do in your own time I'm just trying to see which one it is Oh, it's on the corner there Is it top or bottom? No, it's middle It's middle of Thames Street there If you're in Morrinsville, I can say that the readout's a lovely bar on the corner opposite the Presbyterian Church.

Oh, okay. Over the road from the library, which used to have an eternal flame, but it was costing too much. Towns and councils and cities loved an eternal flame in the 90s, eh? What changes when they're planning for an eternal flame? They're like, okay, so what about the eternal flame? Well, we build it and we plug it in and we turn it on. Brilliant.

How much is it going to cost? $2,000 to install. Fantastic. Any ongoing costs? Can't think of any. Just fucking gas. Set aside gas and know how much and know it's going to exponentially increase over time as fuel does. Now, maybe even better to deliver your photo, we should all go down.

They do fricking $12 cocktails on Fridays. I've been to Morrinsville. $12? I've been to Morrinsville more times than any person should be if they're not from that area. I've never been. You've never been? Take me.

You would be welcomed with open arms. And $12 cocktails. Only if Auntie Eve's getting out the custard squares and Uncle Murray's got some fireworks. What photo are you going to use? I don't know. I think it should be up for us to choose. Not this one.

I think we should choose. They didn't Photoshop my eyes enough. No, and that photo fletches as far as I can go. Wait, wait, wait. You're not going on the wall. Excuse me? You guys aren't going on the wall. No, we could be on the wall.

It's fletched Vaughn and Hayley. You're nothing without. It's just Vaughn. It's just Vaughn on the wall. But people won't know you without the context of us. Yeah. They won't. I'm under Jacinda.

The most arrogant thing I've ever said. No one will know you, Vaughn. No one knows you without us. Well, good.
