The biggest brands at the lowest prices. Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday. Back in the Auckland studio this morning. Harry Styles pre-sale ticket day today. Big day. A lot of anxiety in the air, I'll say. Yes. People don't want to miss out.
Ticket buying can be stressful unless you're like our friend group and then do it drunk when you're drinking and then you... And then have to ask and be like, how many good Charlotte tickets did I buy and who owes me money?
Chapter 2: What are the challenges of buying concert tickets?
Yeah. I've broken that down, by the way. I've figured it all out. Okay, who's got my laneway ticket too? That's what I need to know. Who's got mine? Who's got mine? I know I've got ours. Okay, good. Who's got my Olivia Dean tickets? Mike's got... You've got those. Have I got my own Olivia Dean tickets? I've got Good Charlotte. Our friend Mike has some of our tickets for something as well.
Anyway... Anyway, today, Harry Styles pre-sout. All that info is at ZM Online. We will give you more chances as well during the show to go in the draw to see him live in Sydney. Flight tickets accommodation. We're going to do this for the next four weeks on ZM. So make sure you listen out for the Harry Styles song during the show.
First caller through, you are in the draw on 0800DIALZM when that plays. The top six is on the way. Yeah, a popular bakery in Auckland has been told they've got to stop making horse pies. This is literally horse. Horse meat. Yeah. I read the article. The person who owns the bakery, very vague about where they were getting their horse meat from. Yeah, that's the biggest thing. Very vague.
It came prepared, was all that they were saying. Right. Sounds like they're just pulling up in a big van or truck on the side of the desert road and getting some... Oh, and getting a couple of Kaimana. I was going to say, you know, the back of Ellerslie after a long day. The tent goes up, the horse goes out, the pie gets made. Yeah. Yeah, right.
Because it's like, it's a bit of a tradition in like Tongan culture. It's tradition Tongan. It's weird though that we'll just happily eat cows. Well, most of us. Yeah. But then a horse that's just like a bit higher with a longer neck, which is basically a skinny cow. In fact, it's harder to catch. I reckon we should be encouraging it. That's weird to us. Yeah, I know. Yeah, anyway.
There is no single English word like beef or pork for horse meat. The French call it chevaline. Chevaline. And le horsey is the tongue? Le horse, yeah. No, no, the tongue in it is loy. Oh, right. Horsy. H-O-O-S-I. Interesting.

Chapter 3: What are the signs that a pie contains horse meat?
My law, I've got a gold tooth. Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot. You do. Sorry, my oes. My oes, you forgive her. So the top six today dealing with this. Top six signs your pie is a horse pie. Yeah. Amazing. Next on the show. A crew was called to a building in Canada to remove something that was stuck to the side of the building. What was it? I'll tell you next. We head to Canada for some breaking news.
There's a clock tower, one of those lovely old sort of brick clock towers at Cornish Park in downtown Elginquin. Never heard of it. Never heard of it. A local man was walking past and he decided to really absorb the clock tower. You know, just take a moment, look up. Is it one of those beautiful, like, old clock towers or a modern one made to look new? Nah, it's very Canadian. Like, it's a brick.
Like, it's not old, old, old. Yeah, right. It's not particularly tall. I don't know why you'd bother to build like a modern clock tower. It's got Back to the Future clock tower. It does. It does. Do you know which clock tower I love? New Plymouth. Stratford or New Plymouth? Because Stratford's got one too. No, no, no, New Plymouth. It's got the things that come out of it.
The glass one by the Len Lye. Yeah. I love that one. You do? I do. I love that. I'm not familiar with the New Plymouth clock tower. Yes, you are. You know it. It's a landmark. Okay, I'll Google it. Can you Google it? Because you'll love it. It's like glass and I always think, oh, I'd love to live in there. Okay. Yeah. Like Quasimodo. Yeah. Okay. You look up the New Plymouth one.
I'm talking about this one. Oh, yeah. We don't really have a lot though in New Zealand, do we? There used to be one in Petone in Lower Hush. Your favourite clock tower. 9-6-9-6. Fictitious or otherwise. Favourite clock tower. No, we're not doing fictitious clock towers. Not fictitious. Oh, okay. Back to the future clock tower. Off the... Yeah, off the table. No, yeah. Favourite clock tower.
9-6-9-6. The clock tower... Are we doing an overseas clock tower? No, no. New Zealand only. New Zealand only clock towers. Oh, yeah. That's a new problem. That is a nice clock tower. Originally built in 1906. Yeah, rebuilt though. Was part of the post office building in 69. The building was demolished in 85. A replica of the clock tower. A rip-off.

Chapter 4: How does the discussion about clock towers unfold?
Yeah, so it's fake new. It's fake old, rather, yeah. So, anyway. That's not my favourite clock tower. No, no, mine was, what did it play? Ding, ding, ding, bing. Bim, bim, bim, bim. What, just the traditional clock noise? Bim, bim, bim. Yeah, I don't know what that tune is, though. Where was that? In Petone in Lower Hutt. It was on Jackson Street. That must have a name. A small one.
What is the name of the tune that clocks play? Bum, bum, bum, bum. It's given Beethoven. Chime. The most common iconic tune played by a grandfather wall or mantel clocks is the Westminster Quarters or the Westminster Chimes. It is based on the melody from Handel's Messiah. Handel. That's given big Handel. You're right. Handel's Messiah. I thought so. I was picking Handel's. Handel's.
We're tippling some tis this morning with our clock. Hyper-focused. Yeah. Okay. And we do have some. Okay. Well, we do. Yeah, Jackson Street, Petonia. Thank you. A lot of votes coming in. Really? More than one? Joey was one. And me, two. So that's a lot of votes, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay, so back to this Canadian clock. And please, keep on texting it.
Oh, yeah, Carterton's got a bloody good one, but it does go off often. Too loud, you're saying? What, like, is it every 15? It should be on the hour. And then they should shut it up at about 8 or 9 o'clock. Yeah. My parents in Italy live next to a clock tower. Oh, that must be so hard. It's so difficult. Actually, Tazen pays for my parents in their Italian apartment.
Let me just finish this and then we can run through some of the favourite Kiwi pop. I've got Handel's Messiah. Okay, for the background. That's fantastic. Thanks to the Christensen Family Plan. No, no, this is on Spotify. Thanks to me, myself and I for working hard, earning money and paying for Spotify Premium. Gotta have a job. I've never heard a clock do this.
It's going to be hidden in here somewhere. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, they couldn't play the whole bloody tune. These things go on for like 15 minutes. Listen, there was a dildo stuck to it. I'm just going to cut to the chase of this story now. The clock tower has some glass panelling on it. A local man was walking past when he noticed a red toy. What was it? Sunday morning?
Was it one of those suction cup ones? It had a suction base. Oh, so someone had flicked it up. Wow, well done. So they got to stick to the face of the clock. You should have a cock on the clock. There is a cock on the clock. It's still not a cock. It wasn't a clock face. It was a... No, I wasn't going to say it. Oh, wow. I will say the phallus is quite a tan on it. Yes. By his choice. Okay.
It always surprises me how dark my penis is for someone that never sees the sun. Yeah, actually, that's always a different... They're always, like, completely rogue. It's a different tone of brown. Completely different. Is it a throwback to my Malta descendants? I don't think you're Malta. I'm from Malta, my people. Maybe. All right. You're not. So people, it obviously went viral on social media.
A lot of people said, you know, very disturbing, very inappropriate to honestly how amazing that they even got it up that high. I know. What a throw that is. What a throw. Then they had to get sort of like a fire crew, like a rescue crew to use a ladder to get up there and remove the object. The village of Elginquin sort of council has refused to respond or make comment. Yeah.

Chapter 5: What insights do they share about haircuts and personal styles?
She's now 65 and she's had the same haircut, the exact same haircut since she was 14. Wow. For 50 years. I feel like a lot of mums do just have the same haircut. It's easy. They know what they like. Yeah, my mum's doing new. My mum always had hair like mine when she was young and then she did classic 90s cut. Has she been to therapy? There's something in that. She's got a bob.
She's getting a bob. There's something in that. She's getting a bob. You guys should go together. You think me and my mum should go to therapy together? Split the price. And Virginia has enough dealing with me. Imagine bringing Patsy into the mix. Good Lord. Generational issues. Somebody said, I think my neighbour's just been pregnant for like 12 years. She's always pregnant.
And so her signature look is pregnant. She's been pregnant forever. There's always a new kid and then she's pregnant again. Wow. It's a baby making factory. Yeah. So that's her signature look.
Chapter 6: What are the humorous stories shared about birds ruining days?

Silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly
Silly little poll. How do you feel about one-way streets? Love them or not a fan? Well, 74% of people said not a fan. Yeah. So yesterday we had to get from our hotel, which was by the new stadium in Christchurch, to work, which if you were walking, I think we walked to that cafe by work and it was five minutes max. Yeah. But it was very early and we all had our suitcases.
Yeah, so we had to get an Uber. But to get there, if you were driving, it would take like a minute.

Chapter 7: How do they discuss the impact of ticket buying experiences?
But because of the one-way streets, it took like... A K and a half. Sort of like snailing around. Seven or eight minutes. It's insane. But Christchurch never used to be one-way before the earthquakes. Yeah, it did. But not as bad. I don't know, actually. I can't remember. Wellington's got a lot. New Plymouth has some. When I grew up, it had some one-way streets. Yeah, Wellington does have a lot.
Right in town. Yeah. And if you're new there and you're not using GPS, you're kind of a bit like... Oh, you should be using GPS. You kind of have to. You have to. Stopping a silly billy. So how do you feel about them? 74% of people love them. Sorry, 74% of people not a fan, 26% of people love them. What is the reason? It's skinny. Traffic flow. It's traffic flow, right?
That's why you put them in. It's to keep the traffic flowing in One Direction and that's the idea. Story of my life. Sorry, you said One Direction and it just came out. It kicked it off. Yeah. Yeah, improve traffic flow, increase capacity, and enhance safety in congested urban areas. Mm-hmm. Anyway. I just thought it was skinny streets. It was old skinny streets.
Sometimes it's an old skinny street. Mason said, not a fan as you probably found out the Christchurch one-way system sucks. Benny, one-way streets are the backbone of the Kiwi economy. They deliver where no other road knows how to. Without them, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings would get bullied more. A thankless task by the mighty one-way street. Okay, thanks, man.
Chapter 8: What are the challenges and experiences shared about running training?
Wow, that's a real lover of one-way streets. That's a real petition of love. Renee said, So they eliminate delays caused by vehicles turning across lanes. So because you're not backed up behind cars turning, you can just keep going. They just keep going. Yeah. Yeah. Fletcher will know well, says Megan, the one-way street sit show in New Plymouth.
A pain when you just need to get to the shops, but you have to do a long block detour. It does work surprisingly well once you get used to it. Only had a head-on collision or like three times in the first year living here, turning the wrong way into a street.
I love it.
Love them if I know that they exist, but hate them if I'm new to a place and trying to figure out where to drive without looking like an idiot, says Elliot. Yeah. And Renee said, all good when walking, sucks when driving. Yeah, fair call. So today's silly little poll, we asked, how do you feel about one-way streets? And 74% of you, not a fan.

We want to know right now, when did the ticket buying go wrong? Because of course it is today, Harry Styles Ticket Sales Day. Things kick off right, the pre-sales are starting and then the general one's Friday-ish, something like that. All the details at ZM Online, Hayley Sproul. I beg your pardon. Dot com. ZM Online dot com. It's not ZM Online, Hayley Sproul dot com.
Well, it is Hayley Sproul dot com. If you want tickets to see me, but that's not what I'm talking about right now. But feel free. I mean, do you remember the Taylor Swift ticket buying debacle? Like, that was... And it was like, you are 8,000th in line. That was the most insane ticket purchasing experience I've ever witnessed with friends. There were tears.
There were, like, people taking days off of work. And then you missed out. And then there were the tech problems. Yeah. Remember when I said... Because you always get the tickets or our friend Mike always does tickets. Yes. And so when we decide we're going to go to a concert together like Paramore, for some reason, me, a literal living nightmare, was like, I'll get the tickets for Paramore.
And then I got a text from Fletch being like, are you in the queue? And I was like, yeah. That's right, I was away and that's why you were buying the tickets. You were given the responsibility. I was driving somewhere. And you were a nightmare and you missed out on the tickets.
I missed out on the pre-sale and then I was like, don't worry, I'll get us into general sale tomorrow, get in there, nah, all gone. We ended up fixing it, but... That's a nightmare. I don't like being charged a point either. There were people that, you know, like you've got them in the cart and then you get that 10-minute countdown to finish the thing.
