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, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. We're very excited. Very excited because big show for you today. We're in studio currently. Currently, but we're going to be joined by Rhys Mathewson. Rhys Mathewson. Rhys Mathewson, soon on the show.
We are.
To talk Taskmaster. And then after that, we're going to be...
Zip in to Karangahape Road to the new train station for the CRL, the Central Rail
Link. City Rail Link. Which opened officially yesterday.
It did.
There's a little electrical fire, which had nothing to do. It was just the worst timing ever.
Or it's
like when you get a new heater or something and you turn it on. It smells a bit funny.
You've got to burn away that seal. You've got to burn away that new. You've got to burn away that new. I saw someone taking a photo of the elevator and looking up and it was like art. It was like this beautiful light. It's incredible. Like
so
many.
Oh, Hayley, you just won. So many people are checking out the stations yesterday and just jumping on, just have a go. We're so excited. We're going to be broadcasting the deepest radio show to ever be broadcast
from
33 metres. Brackets in New Zealand. In New Zealand, yep. So we'll be doing that from 7 this morning, just bringing you the show, but from the platform.
And if you are in the Karangahape Road area... Come and say hello.
Well, yeah, if you're commuting by, say hello. We've got JBL headphones to give away on the show to commuters and to you listening this morning.
How good.
Coming up, though, Vaughan, you've got the top six for us. One of the top six trains I'm hoping to see make a cameo on the show this morning. Because, well, of course, we're going to be at the station. They could just
pull on through. Yes, great idea.
And as
mentioned, Reece Mathewson.
Reece Mathewson's going to join us. Taskmaster. Taskmaster out tonight. New season.
He's on the show ahead of the 7 o'clock news. Now, Vaughan, Bird of the Year, what's happening there? Voting. Voting is still happening at birdoftheair.org.nz. But we're putting our way behind the pukapuku, the little spotted kiwi. And, of course, last week we helped in a leg of the journey taking little puku from the upper north right down to the southern south. You did good. Because Real NZ, one of the major... People, forces behind, companies behind re-establishing a pukapuku population on Cooper Island.
Dwindling. Would you say
dwindling? Dwindling, yeah. At the moment on that particular island, nonexistent.
Oh, that's a hard dwindle.
Thanks to a couple of nasty little immigrants you guys might be aware of. Possums, rats, stoats, weasels and ferrets.
The only immigrants I
hate.
I'll say it. I'll come out and say that. Apart from the ones
that decimate our bird population. So, yeah, thanks to our mates at Real Insidia. As you said, we helped out last week getting the soft toy, Little Puku,
down the country.
Today, well, we dropped Little Puku at Duck Island in Hamilton.
Did you get an ice cream?
No, the girls
did.
You girls did. Because I thought we had to pay and then I said, no thanks. And then they said, oh, you can have them for free.
And then you don't want to go back. And I couldn't go back. I'll have it if
it's for free, but I'm not paying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Also, Fletch was looking to work the loophole if it's free. The calories don't count. Yeah,
exactly. Yeah, that's true. That's also true. When
you pay, they count. They count. Yeah, they do. You
pay
for
the
calories. So he'll be hanging out with the Christchurch Duck Island
team
today. And then someone's going to help him get from there. Oh, he's
not far off.
Further south. Yeah, he's not too far away. Not
far off,
no. So yeah, Relianz on Instagram to follow the journey.
And
please vote bird of the year because we want to get the little poku.
It's a nice
little warm up for the general election coming
later in
the year. Although I can look at the bird of the year and I'm like, I don't know who to vote for. I love them all.
