Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. To Marlborough to Marrow, I better be allowed in. Yes, I am, darling. I better be allowed into the Kauru Club with my family. I don't believe they allow three guests, sir. You'll have to choose. Well, they're all under the age of their minors. I do believe I'm in time for three guests. Oh, God, he kicked them out. Just leave them in the big lounge. Any time I see kids in the Kauru lounge, I'm always like,

Like, what a waste of champagne. Get out. No, my kids drink it. They don't let anything go to waste. It is a waste of time being in that lounge if you're not having a glass of wine. You've got to make the most of it. You've got to make up the money.

I'm surprised work haven't banned you from the Kauru Club membership. The amount of wine you drink. I thought it was 12. What is that? I thought it was when they got to 12, you weren't allowed to take them into Kato. And I've been like taunting Indy.

No Kato for you for next year. You're out. It's either you or mum. Someone's got to choose. August, you've got a couple more years. It says 17. Oh, get a grab. You know why?

They don't want you taking your kids in there the minute they can drink. Because they'll just be pounding. You can drink. But 17-year-olds probably have a couple of blips. Work should take that away from you as well. Why should work take it away from me? Taking your kids in there is a waste. It's a waste.

It's a waste. It's a waste of... Have a little bit of cheese. They could be drinking all the champagne and cheese. Oh, somebody... That's what I'm going to Marlborough for. The... The warbirds.

Yes. It looks so cool. Because you're doing like a big tourism... Yes. ...famil thing down there, aren't you? Yes. Exciting. That'd be amazing.

It's a very cool itinerary. Because I've spent a little bit of time. Remember last time we went and we went to the vineyard and it had the falcon. Yes. That patrolled the vineyard. And it swooped in and like got the rabbits and stuff. And I was just like, that's because I've always wanted a falcon. Yeah.

If I've got to have any bird of prey, I'd have an owlery. Oh, yeah. No, they know too much. I love owls. How do they know too much? You can just see in their eyes they know too much.

And fly silently. Yeah. That's why they call them wise old owls. And their heads go 270 degrees. They're so cute, though. Big eyes.

Exorcist energy. That'll be a silent. Great weekend for you. But yeah, busiest days in the airport today and tomorrow for international travel. Even though I thought we were all in a recession and poor now. But still, everybody's going away, aren't they?

Or people just, because it's also the start of uni holidays as well. People flying their kids home. Right. Okay. I think my parents owe me money because they used to fly my brother home from Otago University and they never flew me home. I had to drive. That's because they used to fly my brother home from Otago University and they never flew me home. I had to drive. That's because you went to Polytech in Hamilton.

And Auckland. Auckland. I had to drive down State Highway 1. Did they give you any petrol money? Yeah. Oh, there you go. Oh, my God. Calm down.

But it was from the farm tank. Oh, was it? So it was dregs. So they better give me the equivalent of all my other flights or I'm telling the IRD that I was filling up a farm tank. Whoa. Wow, big call. You ever do that?

Cross your arms, just. Coming up on the show, silly little poll. How often do you get paid? Are you one of these monthly, fortnightly, weekly? Daily. As your daughter believed. Yeah, my daughter a couple of weeks ago thought I just picked up my check every day. Or cash, I think.

We've got the top six coming up. The top six types of showers. Because baby showers, traditional. You're having a baby. By the way, only your first baby. Don't baby shower for your second baby. You've already got all your friends have already gifted you enough off the first baby It's to set you up for babies

Use the baby stuff again Don't have two baby showers That's separate to the issue we're about to discuss The different sorts of showers you should have Because they're saying if you get a new job You should also have a shower A career shower Yeah, cool

Yeah Any excuse for a party Well, yeah, exactly It's coming up in the top six Next on the show There's a woman who was running a marathon Going for a party. Well, yeah, exactly. It's coming up in the top six. Next on the show. There's a woman who was running a marathon going for a personal best. Something happened in the middle and she didn't let it stop her. Did she still get her personal best?

She sure did. Despite this terrible thing. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. There is a woman in California who, she is a marathon runner. She had had a baby and, you know, that changes things a bit. So after her baby, she was training hard. And this marathon was her first postpartum marathon.

And she was like, I'm going to kill it. And apparently, postpartum marathons, often you have like a little bit of extra speed, they say. Really? Yeah. Why? A lot of women have chimed in and said that they were like stronger and faster. I would have thought maybe it would have slowed down a bit, but no, new mum energy just spurs you on.

Anyway, so she was going for a personal record to beat her time. Okay. She, everything was going well in the marathon. She set off, good pace, good form. She knew she was fit. Yep. And then about halfway through, she felt a little rumble in the jungle.

Okay. And she said, she's always got a routine with a marathon. In the morning, you've got to do it. You've got to clear the bowels. And she did. So she got a routine With a marathon In the morning You've got to do You've got to clear the bowels And she did So she wasn't expecting this You could be running for

Anywhere between what Three to five hours Oh yeah long time Oh yeah Long time Very long time Stopping in a port-a-loo There could be a line

It's going to affect your time It's going to affect your time And this is the issue She felt it But she was like I just I've got my paces set to get my PR. Yeah.

So she said she thought to herself, I don't know if it's possible to poop while you're running, but I'm going to give it a go. This is wild. What? So she just, without stopping, relieved herself. No.

Yeah. Into her little built-in undies. What about the chafing? She just, without stopping, relieved herself. No. Yep. Into her little built-in undies. What about the chafing? Yuck. What about the chafing? Yeah, but you don't even know, like, is it liquid? Is it solid?

Like, what's the form of this thing? Oh, yuck. Did not miss a beat. She pooped in her pants and continued on her way. She said she didn't think that anyone noticed, but also she said marathoners don't judge. And I have seen marathoners who have like... It's quite a thing, eh? Because when you did the full marathon,

we'll just go back to Vaughan's only marathon. Because you're the only one amongst us who's run a marathon. Hi, yep. Yeah, you're a high-end being. Feel free, I hit me with all your FAQs. Yeah. I stopped for a poop during the marathon. Yeah, I stopped at one of the...

On the Auckland waterfront. When you turn around at, where do you turn around? At the park. At the park, yeah, yeah. And you turn around, you come back, there's a toilet on the way back in, and I stopped at one of the bays and went. So how, did that add time to your? Well, it was that or shit yourself.

Yeah, true. I don't mind. You're not a real marathoner then. I hadn't set a PB. I only did it once, so that's my PB for life. Yeah, true. I don't mind. You're not a real marathoner then. I hadn't set a PB. I only did it once, so that's my PB for life. Yeah, right. But, yeah, I wasn't going to poop my pants. That's madness.

And it would be the chasling around. But people do, though, like at big competitions, like Olympics and triathlons. Yeah. People piss themselves the whole time. Yeah. That's kind of the way of the marathon. Even take a slightly grainy fart.

I'd feel it. And it just rubs. It rubs, it rubs, it rubs. It twixt the cheeks. But so she got her personal best and then what? Went straight to the toilet? She got a personal record, crossed the finish line, and then yelled at her friends, I pooped my pants.

Oh. And they were like, oh. So she went to the medical tent for baby wipes, cleaned up in a porta potty. But she's got like no shame about it whatsoever. Well, obviously not because the world is talking about this now. She ran, oh my God. She ran the marathon in three hours and seven minutes.

That is fast. That is real fast. Okay, yeah, right. So she is like serious marathon. Is she one of those people that's had a baby and you couldn't tell? I bet. real fast. Okay, yeah, right. So she is like serious marathon. Is she one of those people that's had a baby and you couldn't tell? I bet. I bet, yeah, 100%. Yeah.

Hate those people. Like we hate her. Yeah. One of those people that just doesn't put on weight when they eat biscuits and chips. Oh, I know. Yeah, like, oh, I just guess I've always been like had a fast and I'm 11. But she can also run a marathon in three hours seven. So I'm imagining she does train to work off the best guys.

Shut up. Yeah, all right, Vaughn. Shut up. We're doing a pile-on. Why are you piling on this poor woman? She shit her pants for Christ's sake. Give her a break. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, silly little boys, silly little boys. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little boys, Silly Little Pole, how often do you get paid? Weekly, fortnightly or monthly? We're fortnightly. We're fortnightly. We're fortnightly. What happens all over the long weekend? It'll be today. It'll be today.

Don't skip it and make it wait. Jesus shuts all the banks on Friday. Yeah, Jesus closes the banks. Does he go around one by one? Yeah. I hereby close this bank. Yeah, I hereby close this bank. It's all automatic.

And then he always forgets the garden centres. Yes. And the garden centres apparently run by Satan himself. Yeah, garden centres are. Yeah. I know. If you rearrange the word palmers, it spells Satan. Oh, my God, it does.

It does. It does, yeah. Whoa. I can't believe they still, they had a chance to change that, eh? And they didn't. Okay, okay. So ridiculous. I mean, the only good thing is people get a weekend.

People get a couple of days. People that would have to work anyway. But then service stations are still open. You still get a day in lieu and time and a half, which people love. When are we going to be able to start buying booze? Oh, so yeah, just think ahead. Friday? No.

Saturday? Saturday, yes. Sunday, no. Monday, yes. Yeah, and if you're out at... I remember being in a restaurant and they're like, that's Sunday, no. Monday, yes. Yeah, and if you're out at, I remember being in a restaurant, they're like, that's not enough food. You've got to buy more food to,

it's like in relation to how much you're drinking. You can't get drunk on the Lord's Day. No, apparently not. Watch me. Just watch me. Rich, though. He turned water to wine. The dude's all about wine. I know, just a bottle of water, thanks,

because he can still do it. Yeah. Zibbity, zabb water, thanks, because he can still do it. Yeah. Zibbity, zabbity, zibbity-doop. And I would hazard a guess to say that if there was a bottle store around with vodka cruisers, Jesus would have had a couple of those too and maybe some towels. He loved a cruiser. Yeah. He loved a cruiser.

He loved a lime cruiser. I was about to say, whatever that red thing is. Is it raspberry? Yeah, raspberry cruiser. He loved a lime cruiser. I was about to say, whatever that red thing is. Is it raspberry? Yeah, raspberry cruiser. Oh, yeah, raspberry. Raspberry cruiser. Yeah, of course. Solid choice.

How often do you get paid? Weekly, 21%. Fortnightly, 61%. Yeah. Nice. Monthly, not quite nice. 61%. I don't think I get the game.

We used to get monthly, and it was, you had to be so disciplined. Monthly was 18%, so just show of week. And then sometimes it'd be an extra weekend, depending on when that date fell. So normally it would be four. Yeah, sometimes it was a five rent. Sometimes it was a five renter or a five weekender. I don't want it.

Bimonthly was the worst. Bimonthly was the worst. It was twice a month, but it was on the 15th of the month and the 31st, so it was different every month. 10 and 25, yeah. Whereas this, like here, it's every second Friday, which is also dangerous because it's right before you go out for a lunch like today or, you know, the weekend.

Courtney messaged saying, I get paid weekly and it's a thing of beauty. Yeah. I'd imagine weekly could be quite nice. Constantly being topped up. Daily, says Bailey. Bailey gets paid daily. I have my own cleaning business,

so clients usually pay that day or within the week. Okay. Oh, yeah, pay what you did that day or within the week. Okay. Oh, yeah. Pay what you did that day. That makes sense. Pay for the day. I recently moved to a job with monthly pay, and it sucks. It's always been fortnightly, which is much more manageable.

Yeah, because you're rich, and then it's all gone by the end. I think they changed it here because everybody moaned about it. Yeah, it's too much. They've been doing it forever. Yeah, they had, yeah. And they were like, oh, well, if people want it fortnightly, and everyone loves it. Yeah, I think they ran a sort of a referendum of sorts.

Yeah. How much did that cost? $26 million. Right. And we got a new flag out of it. Yeah. Josh says, currently fortnightly after previous jobs being weekly. Thought I'd hate it, but it's forced me to be a little bit more responsible

and aware of my spending. Yeah, okay. Werner, but I think it said Werner. Werner. Werner. Monthly, as I live in the UK, also better since you have to stick to a budget. Time for New Zealand to learn some discipline and get with the month. Oh, like Werner.

Werner. Werner. Which seems to be done a very specific way. You seem just so much better than me. But that is a good point because you did have to be so strict when you were monthly, eh? You were better. Were you? Did you?

Or did you just have a great couple of weeks and a couple of very, very light weeks? Yeah. So, yeah, it's mostly fortnightly. Mostly. The majority fortnightly Love it You're a yes? Always, when Rolly's not on the bed

I'm like, where's Wally? Where's Wally? Where's Wally? He's the guy, he's the hat, he's the glasses, striped shirt Where's Wally? Generally our kid's done a circle around him Rolly's out trying to find you a present When he's not on the bed.

My little bastard. A little mouse. Yeah. Just to say thanks for being the best mum ever. Thank you. You're welcome. You're very anti-pets on the bed. I'm anti-pets inside, but especially bedrooms.

But you're fighting a losing fight with that one. No, no, no. Right? Well, no, no, no. The two big dogs haven't been inside for a long time. Oh. Not inside. No, they're too big., no, no, no. The two big dogs haven't been inside for a long time. Oh. Not inside. No, they're too big.

Daddy voice put his foot down. The cats are allowed inside, but if they start fighting, they get thrown outside too. What if it's cold? Tough. They're animals. They're dogs. They're descended from wolves.

They've got cover and they've got a comfortable cushion to sleep on. But when you say haven't been outside for a while, last summer or last winter, like are you going to start losing this fight again when it gets cold? No, no, no. Yesterday I put my foot down. Can the big boys come in? That's what Sade said. I said, absolutely not.

I've been like running around in dirt all day. They're filthy. The big boys sit on their beds outside. Pets in the bedroom have been a reason for not having sex. It's hard when they're in the middle. There has been a study done. 41% say that allowing their furry friends to sleep on the bed has affected their sex life in some way.

It is truly funny when you're in the process of getting down and then your cat's like, jumps on the bed. You're like, look away! Get out of here, Ollie! You don't need to see this. So a fifth of us will actually have sex if we can bring ourselves

to move the cat or the dog from the bed. Woof! Yeah, but then it's sad. Like, shut it, Clark. Because then he doesn't know what he's done wrong. No, he just wants food, right?

So it turns out women are much more guilty at this than men. Double the number of women, 14%, have admitted to having less sex because they feel guilty about moving the animal off the bed. Whereas men, 7%, feel guilty. Whereas most men are just like, ah! Our whole sleeping world revolves around Raleigh. Aaron, who has a spinal injury, a long-term spinal injury, will contort himself and be in so much pain.

You wake up and be like, oh, my God, because Raleigh sleeps between his legs. I was like, just move him along. He's like, oh, no, I can't. I was like, Aaron. Kick him, throw him. Just move the kick. He just can't.

He likes being in the middle of us. Oh, it's so cute. And then I wake up in the morning and he's there. He just can't. He likes being in the middle of us. Oh, it's so cute. And then I wake up in the morning and he's there. No. The worst. Oh, it's so nice. So would you, if you're doing something like adult fun times in the bedroom, would you kick the cat out?

Yeah, I have been known to, but it's on my mind the whole time then. The session's ruined. Because are you like also thinking when your cat's in the bedroom when you're having sex, what if reincarnation is a thing and they come back as a human and they've seen me have sex? Yeah, and they just look at you. It's weird.

Who are they going to come back as? I don't know, like a human. And then you'll see them and be like, I remember you. Yeah, but then they'll be older. You'll be older. They'll be younger. That's what I mean You'll be older. You'll be older. They'll be younger.

Yeah, that's what I mean. But the person you, if you're an animal who's dead. Yeah. I mean, who's alive and then you see your owners have sex and then you come back to life as a human. They'll be older. Next round. You're going to be a baby.

God, what if I come back as a cat and have to watch like some couple have. Pound town. It would be retribution for what your cat's seen. If Major Murray Fluffington could write a journal. My cat has seen nothing. Dare diary. What did I do to deserve this?

Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the top six. Bustle.com slash wellness slash career shower. Headline, why you should throw your bestie a career shower. Okay. By the time you're in your late 20s or 30s, you've likely been to one bridal or career shower. Okay. By the time you're in your late twenties or thirties, you've been at

likely been to one bridal or baby shower. Bridal shower's a bizarre, eh? Because it's different to a hen's. Is it? What's a bridal shower? Is it when they first get engaged? You have just any excuse. But it's an engagement party.

Well, bachelorettes and bridal showers are great. It's a bummer that it's a sort of lack of part of the reason. So, um... I feel like it's just more well-behaved hens do. Yeah. You know. A slightly, yeah. Would that be what you could invite your parents and family to and then cut loose at the strip club at the hens? At the strip club.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, career showers. Okay. I mean, why not celebrate the fact that, you know, you might have studied hard and you finally got a good job? Yes. Or just, you know. But wait, people don't expect a present, do they?

Yeah, they do. Oh, no, no, no. What, like a briefcase? I'm against it. You know, or like some sensible work shoes. I would love a work briefcase because I could finally put my pen somewhere. You can afford to buy a briefcase when you're acting like it's a money thing holding you back. I'm waiting for a career shower.

I'm going to have a briefcase shower. Oh. You're too late. You've been doing radio for over 20 years. Where do you buy a briefcase from? I don't know. We do. Like the suitcase store?

No, because that's suitcases. That's suitcases. I don't even know. My dad had a briefcase all through the 2000s. Did it have a combination on it? Yeah, a little gold brass thing. And then he transferred from that to a kind of a brown leather. Satchel.

Satchel. Yeah, which I think is the modern briefcase. No, I want an actual 80s briefcase. Yeah, the hard. Yeah, yeah. It's hard. I could put all my documents in it. And you need a card holder that matches it

to a mini briefcase. I just looked up, do people use briefcases anymore? There's a Gucci briefcase. It's, ugh, no. It's $2,855. No, I'm the man of the people. I can't have a Gucci.

Strand bags. No, but that means briefcase. That's $2,855. No, I'm a man of the people. I can't have a Gucci. Strand bags? No, but that means briefcase. That's a satchel. Oh, yeah. Definitely not the traditional 1980s, like Wolf of Wall Street. I'm going to bring them back. Traditional briefcase. I'm going to bring them back.

Well, as a fashion thing. I could put a bike carrier, like a little carrier rack on my bicycle. Yeah. And then get those rubber ties and tie it down. You're going to be undoing all of your classy briefcase work with those. Okay. Gee, that's not cheap. But you totally could.

Okay. Well, I got the top six other things worthy of a shower. Okay. If we're talking about career showers, baby showers, and hen's showers, number six on the list, the 21st shower. Oh, yeah. Which could be the day after your 21st where you're just extremely hungover and you're laying down in the shower

Yeah, my paper run. I was like, what do you mean the government get all this money? Yeah, what do they do? From a kid. Yeah. There should be an age where you've got to start paying tax. Well, there used to be, right? Under 14 was tax-free.

Was it? Yeah, I think so. I thought it was a certain level. Which is why all dairy farmers' kids were miraculously raising and selling cattle by themselves. Yeah, of course they were. Such industrious little fellas.

Number four on the list are the top six types of showers you should be having. A breakup shower. You break up with someone and you have a little shower. Yeah, that'd be good. Burn their stuff on the front lawn in a brown tradition and part of it and you open your presents. Piñata with his face on it.

Everybody's chucked in for a Satisfyer Pro 2. Oh, my God. And you thought, why didn't I have one of these when I was in a relationship as well? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally should have. This is the real deal Number three on the list Of the top six Types of showers

We're going to give you a golden shower. For the gold medal. For the gold medal. Yeah, we're a little less proud of our other child who only got a silver medal.

So they'll of course have a silver shower. Great idea. It's a ranked shower. That is today's top six. There is a man, a 22-year-old man called Callum Ryan, who lives in the United Kingdom. He went to the supermarket and spotted a 12-pack of Estrella.

Well, that's a good lager. Spanish lager. It was 15 pounds, so about 30 bucks. For how many? 12. Oh, that's what we'd pay, right? Yeah. But not in the UK.

That's obviously a lot. Yeah. So he was like, I feel like that's a lot for beer. I don't really think that that's right. So he wanted to go to, so what he did was he thought, I wonder if I can get this cheaper by flying to Spain and getting a beer there instead. And so he got a 10-pound flight to Spain.

On like Ryanair or EasyJet or one of those. Uh-huh. Yeah. And then found the same box for four pounds, four euros, which worked out to be three pound 49. For a box of beers. So he literally went to Spain, could get a box of beers, cheaper than 15 pounds.

Cheaper than 15 pounds. What the? Because I thought all those flights on like all the budget airlines had gone. You know, the days of like being able to go somewhere for 10 pounds. But obviously not. 10 pounds? Maybe you can get a last minute.

That's nuts. So he literally went to Spain. I mean, God, that's like, I don't want to live in the UK. It's so grey. But the ability to be able to like flip anywhere. Oh, it would be amazing. Yeah. Because UK as well, their cost of living, it's like crazy.

Their energy bills, their power bills. Their alcohol is expensive as well. When the last time I was in the UK, I was like, holy moly, wine? Yeah. You can't buy it over there for cheap. So I was reading an article. This is on the Herald. They compared supermarket shops.

They did Pack and Save, Royal Oak. They did New World Hobsonville and Countdown Online. Oh, yeah. And All Up, who do you think was cheaper? Pack and Save. Pack and Save was $10. So they got a whole bunch of, you know, everyday groceries. Yeah.

Pack and Save was $105.89. New World Hobsonville, $116.80. And Countdown Online, $120. So that New World Hobsonville. You just said everyday items. Is it... Yeah. I have something to tell the group.

What? I've forgotten the butter. Oh, my God. Oh, no, you did not. Oh, my God. I have... Yesterday, I got the... Oh, my God.

I got one of New Zealand's supreme hot cross buns, a six pack. Award winning. Award winning hot cross buns. They're in studio. We're about to fire up the oven. I bought a block of Lewis Road for us. And then you forgot it.

Wow. What are we going to do? You, wow, you've really let the team down. Can I? That is, you're going to have to go to the dairy. I'm going to have to go to the dairy. Over the road. I will.

And we're going to have a subpar butter. Wow, okay, wow. Can I just apologise, everyone out there? Could you go to the cafe over the road. And we're going to have a subpar butter. Okay, wow. Can I just apologize, everyone out there? Could you go to the cafe over the road and order one cheese scone with six large knobs of butter? But even though the knobs they give you for our scone are not big enough. You'd need 12. 12 knobs of butter and one cheese scone.

How did this happen? Yesterday we put up a post saying, oh, and we've been working. Cut at this. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Yesterday we put up a post saying, oh, we've been working together for 19 years. And we got a comment on one of the posts and it was from Bianca who joins us on the phone who I believe we owe an apology to. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. There were some lovely messages on the post of our 19 year anniversary. And some horrible ones of people saying things like, I was listening when I was 10 and now I'm 29. And I said, shut your mouth. Shut your damn mouth. Yeah, I think we all felt a bit old yesterday.

Yeah. But your comments stuck out, Bianca. What did you comment on our post? So basically about 10, 11 years ago, when you guys were on the radio in the afternoon, was listening to As Per Normal, Going Home, and I was stuck in a little bit of traffic. were on the radio in the afternoon, was listening to As Per Normal going home, and I was stuck in a little bit of traffic.

And I can't remember what you guys were talking about at the time, but it was obviously really funny, and I was, like, really lost into laughing. She was laughing out loud. You were laughing. I was actually LOLing. Yeah, you'd say laughing out loud. Yeah, okay. But we did call it lolling then, didn't we?

Yeah, lolling. We out loud. Okay, but we did call it lolling then, didn't we? Yeah, lolling. We did say lolling. Yeah. And basically everyone stopped but me because I was, you know, when you close your eyes and you're in the moment, LOL. Don't close your eyes while you're driving. Don't close your eyes while you're lolling. And don't close your eyes while you're kissing.

No. Someone might be sneaking up on the person you're kissing and they won't see it because they've got their back to this ninja, but you can see them because you've got your eyes open while you're kissing. No. Someone might be sneaking up on the person you're kissing and they won't see it because they got their back to this ninja, but you can see them because you've got your eyes open. You basically have your eyes open at all times. So wait, what happened? You didn't stop? No, I didn't stop.

And so I basically hit the guy in the highlights in front of me. Oh, my God. I know. But it's all right. Like, there was no damage to his car. There was just damage to my car. Just the tow pole. But I was like, oh, crap, what do I say?

What was I doing? I was laughing to Fletch and Bourne. Oh, yeah. Do you want the boys to give you an apology? Yes. How much is your insurance? We can give them some money. Well, that's the thing.

I was young, and I didn't really want to deal with insurance, so I actually just left the car how it was and I actually sold it with the Fletch & Bourne bump. Yes. Stoved it in. Fantastic. It was actually the license plate. The license plate was all dinged in.

That's all right, man. That's all right. I would have just got to get a license plate and just covered over completely. Can we make, in lieu of an apology, can we make Bianca our caller of the week and give her a little $50? Oh, absolutely we can.

$50 McCafe voucher? Yeah, our caller of the week. Thanks, guys. Yeah, thanks to our mates at McCafe. All yours, Bianca. Thank you so much. I love you guys. Just on a technicality, we called her.

Oh, yeah, we did call her back. No, but she's a caller. She messaged. But she is a caller. Yeah. She's a callee. I think she's a callee. She's a callee.

She's got kids crying in the background. She's lucky to be alive. Bianca, we apologize all those years ago for making you crash your car. But watch what's about to happen, Bianca, because we want to know what caused you to crash. Yes. Oh, beautiful segue. They're entering their 20th year.

They've still got it. Let Bianca go deal with the baby. We'll let you go deal with the baby. Thank you very much. Cooler of the week. But yeah, we want to know the little things that have made you crash. Remember, I've told this before with my phobia

of the MOTHs. And I had my window down many, many years ago, and one flew into my car, and I was on the motorway, and I drove into the barrier. Because I just wanted to get out of the car. That's dangerous. People have died because of, like, bugs.

Oh, yeah. I just went back to that place. Yeah, so I crashed my car. What about, I want to hear, and bonus points if anyone admits to crawling up and crashing while perving. Oh, yeah. Having a little poive out the window.

You just perv a second too long and you miss the car in front of you as you get his brakes. Or people doing their makeup and crashing. Yeah. You see people eating cereal driving. Yeah. If you crash, it's going to be such a messy crash.

You're going to have milk everywhere. Oh, yeah. I remember jamming on the brakes and I had an open smoothie, like an open Nutribullet thing in my cup. I channed on the brake and it went all through the gear stack. It was the worst. The gear stack? Was this in the rinky-dink or...?

Oh, in the rinky-dink. I wouldn't dare even consume anything in the Audi. Right. All right, well, give us a call. 0800-DANCE-AT-M is the number. 9696 to text. What caused you to crash? What caused it?

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. But right now, what caused you to crash? We talked to the lovely Bianca, who blamed us yesterday on our anniversary post for causing her to go into another car. Years ago. So we want to go into another car years ago. So we want to know what caused your little crash. Have you had any crashes?

She just told us about the MOTH crash. Apart from that one? Yeah, I've been like rear-ended. But that's the only one that was your fault was the MOTH? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Why? Because I'm quite a hectic driver? Yeah, I just feel like you'd have a lot more. Shh. Hayley Sproul

for Audi Ambassador. I'm not a hectic driver. I'm a very sensible driver. Anonymous has called up. Good morning, Anonymous. Good morning. Good morning. And now, how did you crash? What made you crash? Ah, perving. Perving? Who are you perving at? Yeah, so

we were driving around. It was my best friend's birthday, and we got stopped by some railway lights. Yeah. A couple of workers caught our eye. The barriers went up, and we started crawling away, but the car in front of me stopped, and I went straight up the back end of it. The front of my car went past them,

and we actually broke my car off. Gave my best friend a whiplash for her birthday. Wait, it was that bad? Wait, so a couple of Kiwi Rail cuties distracted you to the point of... I had their shirts off. Come on. It was awesome. Oh, yeah.

I don't think you're allowed to have your shirts off if you work for Kiwi Rail. You're going to be a high visit all the time. It's too hot. Yeah, but it's too hot. But then, like, you're causing crashes. That's a safety thing as well, isn't it? Yeah, but we love a man at work. Yeah, and they were singing,

I've been working on the railroad. Did they come to your raid? No. Oh. Selfish. That sounded like the start of a good story. It did. Anonymous, thank you.

Stacey, what made you crash? Hey, I had a sneezing fit. I always think this. What are you supposed to do? You can't keep your eyes closed. Sneezing fits. You can't hold them in. I know.

I fully rear-ended right in traffic and wrote my car off. Oh, wow. It was that bad? Yeah. Well, I hit the accelerator, not the brake. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Yeah. That'll do it. They do different things, I hit the accelerator, not the brake. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Yeah.

That'll do it. They do different things, I think, those two pedals. Stacey, thank you. Marty, what made you crash? So I was being a bit of a piss, and I was a mechanic as a young boy, and we used to do a road test. And I was in a seaside town, so in summertime, we used to venture out towards the beach.

Oh, why, why? Who was at the beach? Well, there's just, you know, there's just more to look at. Yeah, yeah, right. Seagulls and waves. The sea air. Trees and stuff and all that. Yeah, trees, sand.

Sea air is great for the mental health too. Yeah, it is. So I'm driving along in the works van and this young lady walks past in front of me, and I was like, oh, yeah, that's all right. Had a bit of a look, and then didn't see the traffic island. Oh, my God. So straight up the traffic island, bent the rim, punched the tyre, and I was like, oh, man, here we go.

So quick change of the tyre, and I got back to work, and I said, hey, look, I've had a bit of an accident. This dog ran out in front of me and I've had to swerve. Dog? Don't call her that. Well, it's probably not the best term to use, but this animal, this furry fringe, shall we say. Yeah. Wow.

I said, look, my bed, I'll pay for it. They're like, no, no, no, it's fine. Look, it's an accident. These things happen. So I thought, sweet. We'll pay for it. And they're like, no, no, no, it's fine. Look, it's an accident. These things happen. So I thought, sweet. Sweet as, got off with it. Got away with it. Yep.

Until about two days later, when the parts guy's girlfriend, well, the parts guy said to me, my girlfriend was a couple of cars back. She never saw no dog. Oh, what a knock. What a knock for. What a knock for. Big knock. Big knock. Well, it was just. What a narc for. What a narc for. Big narc. Big narc.

Well, it was just a little bit of a conversation in the parts counter. I don't think it went too far. I don't remember if I still had to pay or not. But I was like. You don't remember that, but you still remember what the girl looked like. Yeah. Brilliant. Marty.

Marty. Thanks, Marty. Paula, what made you crash? I was actually a passenger, but it was about 30 years ago, and I was working in Croatia, and all my mates that were living in the UK were going to the Munich Beer Festival. So we drove from Croatia to Munich to the beer festival

and may or may not have had a few too many brewskis. Yeah. And my friend lost her passport and the embassy couldn't get her a new one in time so we smuggled her in the back of the boat back through to Croatia. But when we were at the Croatian border, we'd already gone through two borders.

Yeah. My friend was driving and our friend in the boot panicked and she tried to get out. So the driver turned around and said, this is really not a good time. Stay the heck in the boot.

And he lost concentration and crashed into the car in front of him in the queue at the border. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Did it draw attention? Did it? Yeah, a little bit, but fortunately he just threw them some money

because we had some language difficulties. This is all pre, like, the European being one big union where everyone had their borders. Wow. I hope your friend in the boot was all right. So many laws broken. I wouldn't like to say, but let's just say I could still be in a Croatian jail

if we'd been caught. Paula. Paula. Paula's a naughty girl. Those are stories for another day. Thank you, Paula. A couple of messages in to finish. I threw a cigarette out my window, you piece of shit.

I'll say it. I hate seeing cigarette smokers throw their cigars out the window. Because they all end up in turtles. Yeah. And in dolphin holes. Love the durries, though. Threw a cigarette out my window and thought it came back in, so turned around and checked and hit a rock and went up and over a bank.

Oh, that's karma. That's karma. That's karma. That's karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon. And you deserve it. I was driving along. I'm angry. Yeah, I know you do. I'm livid. I hate seeing cigarette smokers

throw ciggies out the window. And you just get angry because you live... Boy, oh boy. You live rurally where everyone throws their rubbish out by your house. Somebody else said, I was admiring the fact that I only paid for six chicken nuggies from Macca's, but I got eight chicken nuggies. And I crashed into the back of somebody.

When you open it, you're like, oh my God. That's just life making it even, isn't it? That looks more than six. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Eight? Boof. I crashed into the back of a Chevy flat deck truck going over a railway track

because I was looking at this lady who was coming out of the dairy and I worked at after school. Yeah. I was looking at this lady who used to come into the dairy I worked in after school. I was thinking,

she's too old to have a baby. And then karma took care of me and I crashed into the back of a... Now I'm stuck on a train line. Oh, no, no, no. Smashed into the back of a, now I'm stuck on a train line. Oh, no, no, no. Smashed into the back of a truck. The guy in the Chevy truck has to get out

and we have to like shimmy my car off his tow ball so I can back off before the train comes. Oh, that's like so nerve wracking. That makes me feel sick. My husband rode his car off in a car park

because he looked across and I was wearing a summer dress and the seatbelt was going between my bosoms. And he liked what he saw. The boys love it. Still got it. He was having a big was going between my boozings. Oh. And he liked what he saw. The boys love it. Still got it. He was having a big sneaky look at my boozies.

Still got it. And he had a low concrete planter box and totaled the transmission in his car. Oh, no. Oh, because you've got majestic breasts. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Beautiful.

The belt really does. It goes in there, doesn't it? Yeah. Make them pop. Yeah. Good on you, seatbelt. And thank you. Somebody threw a cigarette out the window of their car.

It came back into my car. I was the car behind them. No, no, no, no, no. And it went in my shorts and burnt my lady parts and I smashed right into the back of them. By mistake. That's his fault. By mistake.

But surely insurance is going to. Yeah. I don't know how much, how if insurance covers your lady bits. I've insured mine. I've insured mine individually. Really? Yeah, yeah.

Just to make sure. Individually? How many have you got? What, with AMI? Yeah. Yeah. Just all the individual parts. How much do they?

Million dollars. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Million dollars it all the individual parts. How much do they? Million dollars. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Million dollars it's insured for. What's the excess? What's the premium per month? Oh, it's high.

It's high for the cyclone. Jesus, you're just in the slips and the flood damage. Oh, yeah. The thing was a wreck. The thing was a wreck. It's going to take Waka Kotahi like a year. A year to rebuild that. They might not rebuild.

They might just make a new one. Play. ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. There is a woman in Melbourne. Her name is Lorida. She went to social media to share a story. Okay. As we love to do now.

Something happens in life, get it online. I saw somebody on the local Facebook page put it up last night. Anybody else bought an overpriced dairy product from the supermarket to find out it's expired? I was just like, just take it back to the supermarket. Yeah, they don't want that. They don't want that any more than you do. Share it or it didn't happen.

It's a stacking mistake. It's a whoopsie. Take it back and be like, hey, we've got a whoopsie here. I kind of agree. Most people are so, they just want to whinge online. Stacking mistake is a whoopsie. Take it back and be like, hey, we've got a whoopsie here. I kind of agree. Like, most people are so, they just want to whinge online. But, like, if they'd gone to the supermarket, like you said, they'd fix it. They'd probably, yeah, they'd give you another one and give you a little kiss or something.

I don't know. No, they've stopped kisses. They've stopped the kisses. Why are they bloody going? This is why I lost my Foursquare. Sponsor of the long weekend. Yeah, which, by the way. I'm not allowed to own one anymore. So you can give your customer

a little kiss. No, you're not. That's right, Foursquare, thank you, Bourne, for bringing it up. Us supporting the Long Weekend Group. If you're hunting for Easter supplies,

head to Foursquare. And know full well that the owner's not allowed to kiss you. Well, no supermarkets are, Bourne. Well, maybe you're married to the owner. What if I want to kiss him?

Different story. Then you can. I love a Foursquare. How good's a Foursquare? Great, Foursquare's great. Foursquare's great. Anyway, so this Then you can. I love a four square. How good's a four square? Great four square. Four square's great. Anyway, so this chick had made a booking

at a nice restaurant. This is in Melbourne. This is in Melbourne. Good dining. Oh, so many restaurants. It's sick. Mighty sick. She had a six person booking

and she had to cancel it because she got unwell. She was unwell and everyone was like, well, we'll just reschedule. Yeah. She cancelled it two and everyone was like, well, we'll just reschedule. Yeah. She cancelled it two days out following what she believed was a 48-hour cancellation policy. It was $170 a head, a set menu.

Yeah. Very similar to what we're doing. $170? Fancy. Whoa. Navi, a fine dining restaurant. Oh, okay. $170 a head. See, we're going to a lunch today restaurant Oh okay 170 a head

See we're going to a lunch today And we're doing a set menu Not even as much as that Can I just mention as well You've done the same thing You've put your credit card down Yeah and if we cancel We can't cancel

Not now If we cancel I've got to pay On my credit card $50 a head for everyone that cancels And we've got a group of nine You know Matty McLean's going to cancel Oh my god he will My credit card, $50 a head for everyone that cancels. And we've got a group of nine. You know Matty McLean's going to cancel. Oh, my God, he will.

No, he'll just forget. He'll just forget. He just won't turn up. His husband will turn up. His husband will be there. Ryan will be there. Well, Ryan will have to pay for Matty's $50 charge. I'm not copying this because I made the booking.

It was enough stress making the booking. It started as a group of four. I tell you what, if he doesn't show up and it is a $50, I'll pay it because I've definitely drank more than $50 of his wedding wine that he's been throwing in my shed. And you're not coming. And I'm not coming. Which is annoying. You should be coming.

Well, yeah. I should be. I'm a great addition to any social situation, but he just doesn't want to. And he drives because he's responsible. Anyway, so this chick had a small, six people, $170 a head. She pulled out of the booking two days ahead, and then they emailed her with an invoice for $1,093 for the cancellation.

Wow. Which does that add up to what it would cost? To all, for everyone's dinner. But is it because they couldn't? Steep, a little steep. It is steep. I mean, it's very steep. It's a fine dining restaurant.

But is that because they wouldn't have been able to fill that table within two days? Yeah, but she said that she cancelled her booking within 48 hours notice of their booking, which she said, I'd seen which she said I'd seen. Okay. I'd seen. She should be fine.

As their cancellation policy. I feel for restaurants when people book a whole table and then cancel like on the night or like. Oh, yeah. And that sucks. That sucks. I've heard of a lot of restaurants starting to do like credit card like we're doing today for lunch.

Totally. Because if you're on a busy day, right? It's the end of a short week. People will all be going out and we've booked nine seats that we then don't fill. That's a huge percentage of their total seating capacity.

It truly is. Yes, it is. So their email said, we are sorry that you've had to cancel your booking with us. As per our terms and conditions, if your cancellation is within the 48 hours,

they're talking about a small discrepancy of maybe 30 minutes to 60 minutes of your reservation. You'll be charged the full price of the menu per person.

Wow. Well, you've got to read the T's and C's, don't you? Well, she took it to online and oh my God, the restaurant looks so fancy. What did you say? It was $170.

That's ridiculous. I think because she put this online, they came back and they said, well, actually, at three o'clock on the day of the booking,

we were able to fill that table so we've refunded you in full. Oh, nice. But they stand by it. They're like, this fee is outlined in our cancellation policy. Yeah, a lot more places

are doing it. So, yeah, you've just got to be wary of that when you're booking a big group. And to Maddie McLe yeah, you've just got to be wary of that when you're booking a big group. And to Maddie McLean, you better show up today. You better.

Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Look who's on the Zoom phone thing. It's Niall Horan. Hello. Good morning. Hi, guys. Hi.

How are you? Good. How are you? Good. Thank you very much. We're concerned with the Kiwi accent, which can be a little bit of a barrier, but we know you've worked with, friend of the show, Joel Little.

Joel Little. So Kiwi accent shouldn't be a problem. No, I'm still struggling with it. He's got a proper accent, but I still struggle with it. Like, I can't. I feel like I'm a guy that can do accents, but New Zealand is not one. Oh, can you do accents? What I'm a guy that can do accents, but New Zealand is not one. Oh, can you do accents?

What's your best accent you can do? I'll be Australian, and that's why I struggle with New Zealand. Oh, give us a little Aussie. Give us a little Aussie, mate, because that'd be sick. Hello? Hello?

Just leave it there. Let's not get into it. Let's not piss anyone off. Yeah, that's fair. I was trying to think how you could just slightly evolve this trick, because we're close. We're similar, but I can see if anyone off. Yeah, that's fair. I was trying to think how you could just slightly evolve this trip because we're close, we're similar, but I can see if you've got one, the next is hard.

Well, you're just going to have to come here to learn it even better. That's true. That's the next. I do these interviews and then the next time I see you, I'll probably be in the country. Is that on the cards at all for you to come and visit us? Well, that's the idea. At some point, I'm trying to stick some sort of a tour together at the moment

and then when I know what that's going to look like, then we'll have a better idea and then I'll let you know. Lovely. I like that. That's a good arrangement. How far ahead do you have to plan?

I mean, tours are a big thing, but like how far ahead is your schedule kind of spoken for you? Oh, I've got a fair idea of what I'll be doing next Christmas. Is it Christmas?

Because that kind of comes around once a year. I've pretty much got that sort of scheduled for the rest of my life, I reckon. Yeah, I know, I know. Our schedules are always, you have to book in venues and doing all that kind of thing and travel plans.

You have to have a fair idea of what you're going to do. Now, I'm wondering, you've written a few songs, like we said, with Joel. Is there any, like, for example, lately we've been playing here on the show with chat gpt have you had a play with this this artificial intelligence thing no is this the songwriting thing well no that's why i was just about to say it can do anything like when we were waiting in the zoom waiting room i was like write me five potential questions for no horrid and it wrote me like five questions yeah i think it's crazy we're all out of a job we're screwing

ourselves out of any all of the jobs. What did the robot say about Niall? That he had beautiful dulcet tones and a sharp wit. Well, yeah, because I was like, give me an introduction to introduce me. And it said, he's a singer, songwriter, and all-around awesome guy who's known for his amazing voice and down-to-earth personality. I'm talking about the one and only Niall Horan. Oh, my God.

That's a robot. That's better than anything you would have said about me. I also don't mean to panic you, but I've just said, write me a Niall Horan song, and it's writing me one. That could put me out of a job. Don't remind me. Bring in the guitar. Bring in the guitar.

Chorus, because every time I close my eyes, I see your face and all your lies. I try to run, but I can't hide from the pain that's still inside. Very rhymey, isn't it? Yeah, it's a bit. You can't have every line rhyme. It's not Dr. Seuss. Hey, Niall, I saw recently you took to the stage of your mate,

Lewis Capaldi, jumped on stage with him. Yeah, he was playing a show. I'm in Augusta right now for the Masters Golf Tournament. And I went down to Atlanta a couple of nights ago to watch his show. And I was stood side stage and the sound isn't great.

Like you can't, when you're stood side stage, you can't really hear much. But he, I think someone handed him their phone to do a be real. And he was asking, I could see him. He was going,

and I could only see his mouth. And I was going, what? And then I ended up going on to stage to be in some girl's Be Real. I was nowhere. I wasn't there. Wait. That's a hell of a Be Real.

Oh, my God. I know everyone's just like, this is me in bed, and the other one's my feet in bed, and then you're in someone's. That's a win. So you're in Augusta for the golf masters. Do you like a bit of golf?

Oh, do I what? Yeah, but ask AI do I like golf. Okay, I don't like golf. But you're cool and young. That doesn't make any sense. Get out of here. Get out of here. Do you get one of the golf carts every time or

do you walk all the holes? I've got a bad knee at the moment, so I've been doing a bit of carting around. But I usually try and get my steps in, you know, healthy lifestyle, all that good stuff. Is it your meniscus? Because I've done me meniscus at the moment. Oh, no, I've got all sorts of issues. I've torn my patella tendon, which is the one that keeps your kneecap in place. Oh, yuck. Oh, no. How do you do that? He says he's got a floating kneecap. the one that keeps your kneecap in place. Oh, yuck. Oh, no. How did you do that?

He's got a floating kneecap. Oh, God. I literally have a floating kneecap currently, so that's interesting. Niall Horan is a big fan of golf. He's quite vocal about his passion for the sport

and has even organised his own celebrity golf tournament, the Horan and Rose Gala, in partnership with pro golfer Justin Rose. There's your answer. Jesus, it knows everything. So we don't need to have jobs

to interview Niall who doesn't need to have a job because the AI can just write his songs and then AI can write our questions. Yeah, basically. We're all going to be sat at home soon. I mean, I'd love to for a week, but I do need some money.

What are we going to do? I don't know. I don't know, golf? Golf, because I can't play golf yet What are we going to do? I don't know. I don't know. Golf? Golf. Because I can't play golf yet, can I? No, you can't.

I can't work that out. Niall, you've got a lot of famous friends. No, I have another golf question. Oh, no, we can't linger on golf. No, no, let's linger on golf. Have you ever had a hole-in-one? No, I've been very close a couple of times, but I've never had one.

Okay, are you good at mini putt? Because that's angles. I'm awful at it. Okay. Terrific. He plays putt? Because that's angles. No, I'm awful at it. Okay. Horrific. He plays the real golf. The real golf. He plays gentleman's golf.

Okay. Okay. Those are my golf questions. I'm done. Golf questions done. No, you've got lots of famous friends, Lewis Capaldi being one of them, but do you guys, does the old One Direction gang

have a group chat that's still buzzing? Group chat's not great, but the individual, everyone in the individual messages is good. Yeah, it's still a constant flow. A constant flow. A constant flow of individual messages. Probably not as constant as our one. But it's gone from being like,

we're the hottest young boy band to, I've got a floating kneecap, someone else is like, I've got a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all getting older. I'm at the golf thing. It's gone from sexy young hot chat to sort of like middle-aged dude chat pretty quick. Can we ask about your album?

Before we let you go, can we ask you about your new album? What can you tell us about it? Well, it's got a Kiwi producer, as you said. He's actually, he just texts me. Can you tell him, just tell him technically he still owns Vaughn and Xbox on a technicality? And Vaughn says, you owe him. Because he was like, I tell you what, rather than give you an Xbox, I'll give it to a children's hospital. And at the time I was like, okay, but now I'm kind of like, you know.

He's brought this up every time. He did the right thing. Yeah, he did. He did. this up every time. He did the right thing. Yeah. He did, he did. But your album is out in June. What can we expect? Bangers? Ballads?

I'm hoping for bangers and ballads. Bangers and ballads. That's the hope. No, and it's a record that was, it's definitely probably the more mature one that I've made. Probably because I'm a little bit older. It's all probably the more mature one that I've made, probably because I'm a little bit older. That's all the golf. I think Joel brought some of his greatness to it.

I think you can hear, you know, what you know about Joel's little songs. You can hear in this, like he's brought a lot of my stuff and my general writing to like, you know, to another level with the way he produces and the kind of guy he is. So yeah, no, it's an album that I'm really proud of. It obviously took a bit longer to make because New Zealand was the last country on the planet to open its doors, so it took a little bit longer than we probably would have liked,

but worth the wait, I hope. So did you record any of it here in Joel's studio in New Zealand? Because I read Joshua, you guys did some recording in Joshua Tree. It turns out that Joel actually lives around the corner like when he's in LA he has a house and he lives around the corner from me, weirdly enough and we didn't get to do Anthony in New Zealand just because by the time

the lockdown was finished it was hard to get in and out so I think more than you know if there's an X record to do in the next couple of years or whatever I don't know when that is but yeah I would love to come down and play a little bit And you can't even do the accent, so you couldn't fake and tell customs that you were from here. No, you couldn't.

You can only do the Australian accent. I'd get away with that. I wouldn't get away with it. Yeah. Oh, brilliant. Well, thanks so much for joining us. The album is the show and it's out June 9th. Niall Horan, thank you.

Or do we end on a high? Or do we just take... Oh, you mean end the whole break after seven callers? We can't take a break after seven callers. I'm dizzy, though. I'm extremely dizzy. People are in the moment, though. I think we should really cash in on it.

Let's go. Let's go. Do you want to go to Hamilton, Pampakura, Palmy, or Mount Maunganui? Pampakura. You want to go to Pampakura? Yeah. Okay. That is it. All right.

Good morning, Riley and Sian. Good morning. Good morning. Now, do you realize the pressure that is heaped upon you right now? I do, and I'm freaking out. Don't freak out. Don't freak out. We believe. Don't freak out. Now, I do and I'm freaked out. Don't freak out. Don't freak out. We believe. Also don't mess this up. Don't freak out.

Okay, well, are you at the traffic lights now? Do we think it's a good time now? Yeah. Okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah! Wait, wait.

What was that? No, that was a multiple. I think we just had a feedback loop. I think we had a feedback loop. What did you hear back? Did you hear a toot back? I did, but it was going down the other street. I didn't hear it.

Was it two toots or was it beep, beep, beep, beep, beep? No, it was just one toot. No, one toot! We cannot accept that. It must be two toots. Riley and Sian, we was just one toot. No, one toot. We cannot accept that. It must be two toots. Riley and Sian, we need another one. Let's go again, girls. Let's go again.

Let's go, girls. Yes. Light him up. We'll knock him down. It's eight and a row, baby. My God, this is... This is what it felt like for Warriors fans last weekend. They're down 20-0 at halftime.

They come back for a 32-30 defeat of the Sharks. Sean Johnson leading the charge against his own team. This is insane. Eight in a row. Thank you, Riley and Sean. Riley and Sean did a good job there. Okay, so that's eight in a row. That's Eight in a row. Thank you, Riley and Sian. Riley and Sian did a good job there. Okay, so that's eight in a row. That's eight in a row.

Yeah, but Lower Hutt's my hometown. Georgia, you don't want to be responsible for the 10, for the lucky 10. What are we thinking? Nice round, 10. What are you going to choose? I don't want to pick either. Okay, let's all take one.

That is the perfect first half, ladies and gentlemen. In fact, do you think we just end the conversation? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You want to try for more? You want to try for more? You want to try for more? I just want a little bit more. You don't get to the high rollers table by quitting while you're ahead, baby. We're going to come back next with the Long Weekend Group 2. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning.

Sledgeborn and Hayley's long weekend group tour with Foursquare. Well, it's all thanks to Foursquare. Whether you're vacationing or staycationing, this Easter Foursquare has everything you need for today. We're trying to shout out Foursquare, you fool. I was playing along, giving them more cowbell. You were off the beat. I tell you what, we're very excited because if you've just joined us,

it's never, ever happened before in the history of the Long Weekend Group to 10 successful toots in a row. Out of 10. Look at this. We were just debating, talking when the last time we had, well, what the record is. I Googled 2018 was, the podcast was entitled

Join Us for the Record-Breaking Long Weekend Group Tour 2018. Okay, that sounds about right. That would have been pre-pandemic. Was it about 13 or 14 or 15, the record? Yeah, I feel like it's 14. Because everyone's going to eat out the dust today. Yeah, yeah. Well, we have so far had 10 in a row.

It's unbelievable. We've had 10 out of 10. We haven't had a final. It's unbelievable. Katrina joins us. Good morning, Katrina. We're about to know how are you? I am on a high street.

Oh straight, yes. Okay, lots of traffic. All right, when you're ready. Not lots of traffic. So if you want to break in on the next caller, you can.

Because this is 11 in a row. There's not actually. Oh, no. There's not actually. Okay, well, we can't... Are you telling me councils and transport authorities have finally sorted this? Yeah, no, there is a few cars in front of me.

I reckon we should have ourselves in the foot because so many people are texting and saying, I've had to pull over and I'm sitting in my car, listening and enjoying it. Get back on the roads. I'm at some lights now. Okay, well, all right, let's do it. Let's go.

When you're ready, 11 in a row. In Norton, in Hamilton. Go, Andy, go. Okay. You've got a terrible gait. You've got a terrible gait. Terrible. We can hardly hear your toot.

One more turn. Okay, one more turn. Just in case. Just in case. Just in case. Go again, Andy. No. That time it was Andy's fault.

Yeah. The people next to me are, like, looking at me, nodding their heads. Oh, don't nod your heads. You toot the toot. You toot the toot. You toot the toot. Go again, Andy. We've got to get a liver. Andy, nod.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh. Yay! Distance! Did you hear that? I heard it. I heard it. It was very faint. I don't know if listeners could hear that, but we could definitely hear it in heard it. I heard it. It was very faint.

I don't know if listeners could hear that, but we could definitely hear it in the distance. In the headphones. Well done. Algen. Well done, Algen. You're a man. Thank you very much, bro.

Sort of one man's redemption story that also redeemed a city. Yeah. Harani. All right, now, this is an interesting one. You're at the Queenstown Shotover Bridge. Yes. I've passed it now, but we've got some traffic in front of us. Oh, okay.

Come on in, honey. All right. You've got to do it. You've got to do it. All good? Yep. Go ahead. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Classic. You rushed it there and not paused. You finished yourself off. Straight through the finish line. You've got to leave the last two. So you've just got to go one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three, four, and then leave space for someone to reply. Someone else will do those last two.

Another go, another go. Oh, no. She proved tenfold, no. She proved tenfold. Great tooting, great tooting. Unfortunately, I don't think in Queensland it's never been, it's not been a fertile ground for us. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's fertile for the Pinot Noir. It's the schistus, the alluvial flows.

I think good on Arnie for giving the guy the hard seasons, you know, really brings out the fruit. Let's go back to Lower Hutt. Katrina, you've now got some traffic. Well, loosely, I don't know where all the traffic is in Lower Hutt this morning. Back yourself. Back yourself. Go for it.

I can try. Okay, go for it. Got the phone up there? Not out the window. Good boy. Not it. No, there's not enough around. No, I think have another go.

Have another go. Have another go. All right. Can I just get around the corner up here? Because there's usually traffic lines. Let's go back. We'll come back. Katrina is the great trilogy.

She is. Jason and Ollie, join us. You're in Auckland, Dominion Road. Good morning. Good morning. Hey, guys. Always traffic there. Haven't in Auckland, Dominion Road. Good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? We haven't had a lot of tooters. We had a successful papakura, didn't we?

Yes, we did. That's all this morning. Jason and Ollie, give us the long weekend group toot. Here we go. Oh, just someone's... Wonderful tooting from you. What a horn. You're on Dominion Road, Auckland. If you're on Dominion Road Auckland if you're around Dominion Road

One more Absolute no one Play the game Auckland What a great tune Great horn, great pacing By the way I've sat, I've sat down. I've sat down, too. I've sat down.

Yeah, I mean, this is a bad second half. I told you we should have just ended on a high. Summer and Todong, good morning. Good morning. Okay, we need to finish. I think we need to finish the long weekend group toot now on a high. We need one to finish. I think Katrina's going to get it, but Summer.

Yeah, we've got to go back to Katrina. It's the trilogy. You can't cancel the movie after the sequel, you know. Summer, whereabouts in Tauranga? I'm in Bethlehem, just by the gas. Timely, because of the weekend, Jesus. No, but that was where he was born. He was crucified elsewhere.

In Tauranga, in the city. He should have gone to the mountain. He had to carry it up the mountain. He went up the mountain on the mountain. Oh, right. And they wouldn't let him get a Copenhagen cone. And he said, forgive them, Father. They know not what they do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Mike, give us a little weekend group tone. Yeah. It's my turn. You've stuffed that in. What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? I'm not like me.

You didn't finish it though. You only did the first half. Go again. Go again. Yeah! Yeah! That was one. Was that one or two? It was just the one. Okay, go, it was one. It was one. Was that one or two?

It was just the one. Okay, go again. Go again. I feel like I can do that again, too. Yeah, go again. We need two toots in reply. Thank you. There it is.

There it is. There it is. Well done, Summer. Twelve toots. Well done, Summer. 12 toots. Well done, Summer. Okay, now I think we go back to Katrina to finish. Whether it's a high or not, we've still got 13 or 12 long weekend group toots. Katrina, how's the traffic situation now?

It's a sea fact. Okay, okay, okay. Here we go. Can I go? Yes. No. Something. Oh, I'm going to shout.

Wait, you heard a distant toot? Oh, Zachary says he did. Okay, well, go again. Go again. Buddy Zachary. We must be able to hear it. Zachary might be lying. No, go again.

I think we panicked with the tooting there. It was a bit all over the place. The traffic's gone on the other side of the road. And he's ignoring me. Why is it avoiding Katrina? This is a problem. I don't know. This is a problem with a successful first half. It made it look easy.

And everybody thinks they can have a go. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Everybody thinks they've got it in them. Yeah, can have a go. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Everyone thinks they've got it in them. Yeah, we were just lucky. Do we want to try one more time with Katrina

or do we leave it there? No, I think we need, should we go to someone else to finish? Katrina, it's not, I haven't lost faith in you. I'm happy to wait. Zachary's

to wait. What? What happened to Zachary? He's sitting here. He's happy to wait. Okay. We're coming back. We're coming back. We're coming back.

Zachary wants to wait. We're getting a fourth installment of the Katrina trilogy. I don't know if we need it. I don't know if we need it. This has got Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull written all over it. Do you want to let Zachary down? No. No.

I think we'll come back. Okay, we'll come back. Who are we going to? Let's go to Amanda, James and Eli. Amanda, James and Eli. Christ, George, whereabouts? We're just a little away. There's quite a bit of traffic.

Okay, go. Go on then. All right. Ready? Yep. Oh, I'm coming. Okay, go again. Not so much out the window.

It got a bit windy. Go again. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Yeah. I can't see any people. No one.

Unbelievable. Yeah, I did. How did we have such a good first half? And then the second half. Unbelievable, wasn't it? This is absolutely horrible. No, you're all right good first half, and then the second half is just absolutely gone away. No, you're right. Thank you, Amanda Jameson.

Eli, it's not your fault, is it? What about Olive and Wade? We've run out of time. Yeah, we have. So do we give Katrina one last shot? Because, you know, you don't want to upset Zachary. Yeah, we've got to go back to it. We've got to go back to it.

Can I be honest? I don't give a damn about that. Katrina, let's go one last time and then we've got to simply go. Yeah, that's totally fine. We believe in you. We believe in you. Have you made it to upper by now? No, we're still

on the hut, but let's hope everyone in lower hut is listening. You ready? Come on, come on. Yay! You ready? Come on, Helen. Come on, cut. Yeah! Look at this. And we've cracked Unlucky 13. Do you know what the lesson there is for Zachary? Perseverance.

You might get knocked down. You might get knocked down in life, Zachary, but get back up. Yeah. We are never going to keep you down. Yeah, exactly. Hey, thanks, guys in life, Zachary, but get back up. Yeah. Your embryo's never going to keep you down. Yeah, exactly. Hey, thanks, guys, Katrina and Zachary, and a successful long weekend group tour. How many?

A 72% success rate. That's fantastic. That's not bad. With a 100% first half. 100% first half. Yes. Thank you to Foursquare for jumping on board as well with the long weekend group tour.

I mean, it may have been their energy. It may have been their big Foursquare energy. The big Foursquare energy. Cheeky Charlie. Yeah, the Cheeky Charlie. The spread of Cheeky Charlie was with us long weekend group toot. I mean, it may have been their energy. It may have been their big four square energy. Cheeky Charlie. Yeah, the Cheeky Charlie. The spread of Cheeky Charlie was with us at the Zabron. 13 long weekend group toots. If you're out on the roads this Easter long weekend, be safe. Drive safe.

Yeah. Don't just randomly toot at people. Yeah, I was going to say, don't be tooting willy-nilly. That's a warning device for use in emergencies only. Yeah. Despite everything we've just... Only use it with us for fun, but we're not doing it. Just emergencies only. Obviously. Fact of the day only. Yeah. Despite everything we've just... Only use it with us for fun, but we're not doing it. Just emergencies only.

Obviously. Fact of the day next. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Is it? Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. There's no need to be so silly. Just being childish. He's showing off because he's had a successful long weekend group tour.

He's like a kid who's tired, you know, and they start acting out in front of their parents' friends. Today's fact of the day, which I'm being told needs to be quick. Yeah, you have big feet. Yes, it does need to be. It's about some Good Friday traditions. Good Friday tomorrow. I grew up Catholic.

I believe that's how it's pronounced. Oh my God, I'm a holic as well. You're a different holic. So we didn't eat red meat on Good Friday. What? Yes, Aaron's Catholic parents do this. Fish or chicken. Sometimes you'd be, you know,

halfway through a bit of leftover schnitzel. Uh-oh. Okay, my mother would say, what are you eating? Sometimes you'd be, you know, halfway through a bit of leftover schnitzel. Uh-oh. Mother would say, what are you eating? And you'd say, and then hide it. But what happens if you eat? Hell. Cow.

You go to hell. Hell. My goodness me. Satan comes and grabs your soul. By the time I was a late teenager, I'd booked a one-way ticket anyway, if that's all to be believed. Here are some things about Good Friday. Tradition, superstition says it's good luck to get a haircut on Good Friday.

Good luck finding a bowie barber that's open. Unless your mum gives you a bowl cut with the wild clippers. Mum will give you a bowl cut and apparently it will prevent headaches for the rest of the year. What a load of rubbish. Hey, Jamaicans. Be a believer. Jamaicans crack an egg.

A real chicken's egg, although with the chicken egg shortage, perhaps they'll be skipping this tradition this Friday. The tradition goes that you crack an egg and just add the egg white to a glass of water. As the rising sun heats the egg, patterns form in the glass. Elders believe the way the white swirls can predict the way in which you will die. Grim. And this is a day where we are literally talking about death. Also, in Germany, it's illegal to dance on Good Friday.

Nothing's going to stop me dancing. Dancing is prohibited on the sacred holiday, forcing nightclubs to close or risk being fined €1,300. In German, the name for the holiday translates as Sorrowful Friday. Sorrowful. The Irish believe on Good Friday, if an egg is laid on that day, it will never rot. So don't go to an Irish person's place for an omelette three weeks after Good Friday because they'll still be

eating their Good Friday eggs. Mankey. So today's fact of the day is tomorrow is Good Friday and there's some weird traditions around Good Friday. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day. That is our show today.

Have a great long weekend. Have a great long weekend. We'll be back with the Saturday morning bottomless brunch. If you missed earlier on the show, Niall Horan joined us just before 8 o'clock. If you missed that, you can watch a full interview online at ZM Online. Our podcast as well when that's up today. Catch up with that. Lovely.

We are everywhere. We can literally saturate your weekend even though we'll be having a little time off. We're like a rash. We are inescapable. Loads of ZM frequencies around the country, Turf. If you're heading away for the weekend, otherwise, download the podcast, iHeartRadio, if you want some potties for the road. They call us the global warming of radio shows. You can deny our existence until the cows come home,

but watch out in the future. We're inescapable. Coming to an ever-decreasing shoreline near you. I don't know if that's the kind of marketing we want, that kind of... No, it is. Try and try to fight us. Yeah, you've got to get a bit of a cut through these days

with marketing. Oh, another one in the bag. It's a Versace bag as well. If you enjoyed that, give us a rating and a review and be sure to tell your mates. You don't sound sincere there, boy. I'm just reading what's written here.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
