In 2021 New Zealand radio station ZM had a show called Fletch, Vaughan & Megan. On September 29th 2021 the world was still in and out of lockdowns and Jimmy was using Zoom to carry out promotional duties for his Before and Laughter book (the hardback was released on the 30th – see here).
Although details of the show are still listed on ZM Online (here – but only visible from Aus/NZ or with VPN) I cannot find the original video files that were posted (luckily I’d downloaded them). Possibly because of some mystery around Meghan leaving the show abruptly that December (here).
The interview lasted 15 minutes and Jimmy kept returning to ribbing Vaughan about the beanie hat he had on, under his headphones. Insisting he looked like the “3rd Hemsworth brother, bred for parts”.
