Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe.
Download the McDonald's App and Urn Rewards on your coffee. And you've got an appointment today
with the horror show. Yeah. It is the dentist slash hygienist. Hygienist. I hate the hygienist
and I really, I feel bad. Hate love. They're really good fans. They're big fans of the show,
but I just don't like it. The scaling, the picking, and I've got very tight teeth down
the bottom and a wire behind.
So I basically just never floss the bottom ones.
Did I just draw my lip?
No.
You did put a pen to your face.
I never floss the bottom ones.
I can't get in.
It's too tight.
Yeah, right.
Don't you have a water squisher?
Oh, yeah, I do.
I don't know.
So the novelty wore off.
And you don't use it anymore.
I don't really use it.
I've got to get back into that. But it's too late. I don't know, so the novelty wore off. And you don't use it anymore. I don't really use it anymore.
I've got to get back into that.
But it's too late, I've got to go today.
I did the sort of obligatory floss this morning.
Oh, they know though. It'll make up for the last six months.
What about...
Do you know they know...
Whether you've smoked it.
If you've...
Vaping.
No, if you've...
Tracheotomy.
Given fellatio.
A big part?
They know.
Because there's like a little soft...
Sir, ma'am, a big part? There's a soft bit at the top of your mouth. I've never Because there's like a little soft bit at the top
of your mouth. Have you never heard this?
There's a soft bit at the top of the mouth.
I accidentally got a lozenge long
ways and it poked into the roof of my mouth.
So if you were to go to the dentist
now, heaven forbid, they would think that you'd
been given it.
No. It's very small
so it would have been a very small
thin penis. This would have been like back in the day. Do you think that's So it would have been A very like Small Tapered Thin penis
This would have been
Like back in the day
Do you think that's how
They would have known
That people were like
A homosexual
A homosexual
When it was all
Undercover and secret
The dentist would have
Known the town secrets
Yeah
Either that or you could have
Apparently some slight
Bruising is a sign
Because
Yeah
It's so soft
Producer Jared's midi
Is in the dental industry
Yeah
Oh Jesus
Did you never know that?
I feel like the internet
I thought you were saying vaping
Because apparently
No
They know everything that goes in your mouth
Like your soda
They know if you drink too much fizzy
Oh yeah because I got told off for like sparkling water
Yeah yeah yeah
They love that one
Don't drink sparkling water
It's like what do you want me to drink?
Just water?
Oh I've got to be honest with you
In the last six months I'm not worried about that.
You know, I'm not worried about them making that discovery.
It's been a bumpy road on your journey to health.
It has.
Let's see how your teeth end up.
Let's see how my teeth end up.
Yeah.
I think they look good.
Yeah, they do look fine.
It's just that little bottom bit that I'm going to get in trouble.
Play ZM's Fletch Vodden Daily.
Good morning.
I think we hadn't pushed a button, but we're here.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show.
Broadcasting today live from Dunedin, our Dunedin studios,
where it's, I believe, minus 400.
No, it's just minus one, and I could go a little bit colder.
Yeah, it was a dry minus one.
A dry, yeah.
I mean, unless you're in a student flat, it's probably minus 10.
And very wet.
Somehow it's colder inside, isn't it?
That's a humidity issue.
Coming up on the show this morning.
Oh, negative two, sorry.
It's gone minus two now.
It's gone minus two.
Yeah, she's a chilly start around the country.
They probably take that out by the airport.
That's what mums love to say, isn't it?
It's colder out there.
Coming up on the show, our grocery grab again this morning,
thanks to the warehouse, your chance to win warehouse gift cards.
We're going to have our grocery items,
20 everyday items you can buy from the warehouse.
They'll go past, they'll whiz past on the conveyor belt.
You'll have 30 seconds to remember as many items as you can
for each item that you can, a $20 warehouse gift card.
We're going to do that this morning at 8 o'clock.
Also coming up on the show before then,
we've got I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name.
Makes a return.
On the way though, the top six, Vaughan.
Yeah, they raided Donald Trump's Malargo Resort.
Yeah.
The FBI.
Yeah, they did.
I thought you meant they raided,
like on TripAdvisor, his resort.
Three stars.
Three stars. Three stars.
They would have given it four, but they stumbled across a dead, buried woman in the golf course.
That's really bad.
And buried his first wife there.
Yeah.
Really spoiled the whole holiday.
Really kills your buzz when you're playing around a golf and you trip over a little dead person's hand.
God.
I mean, they bury it.
You've got to play, did he though?
In the bunker.
That didn't go deep enough.
It was in a sand bunker, I believe. Yeah. You've got to play it as it lies, the bunker. That didn't go deep enough. It was in a sand bunker I believe.
Yeah. You've got to play it as it lies too
because I'm not taking a penalty point. No.
So I've got the top six things they found at
Trump's during the raid.
Yesterday we lost Olivia
Newton-John.
Now was she a dame?
Yeah apparently she was. She was a dame.
Australian dame. Yeah.
But she wasn't the only
celebrity that we lost yesterday.
A true childhood hero.
And you're very upset by this.
We're very, very upset.
We'll tell you who this was next.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
I have sad news.
More?
I've got, we've lost the legend.
Chris Martin from Coldplay is dead. Chris Martin from Coldplay is dead.
Chris Martin from Coldplay's jacket is dead.
You know the patchy one that he wore when he played the...
No.
Yeah, no, his jacket's alive and well, ladies and gentlemen.
You can't kill a jacket like that.
You just put another patch on it.
He's alive.
Keep patching it up.
He's not the celebrity that's died.
You might not recognise his name.
Carlo Bonomi.
He was an Italian... Well, you could hardly even say Bonomi. He was an Italian gentleman.
Bonomi.
Bonomi.
Carlo Bonomi.
He was the original voice of Pingu.
Has died at the age of 85.
Pingu did.
When you say original, had they already replaced him?
Yeah, no.
So he did the first.
This is the other thing. I'm on Pingu
Wikipedia now.
There has been six official
series of Pingu.
Yep. 26 episodes
in each. Jeepers
creepers. So the first series
was in 1990.
Yeah. And then it just
ran. They'd made it all.
The second series was stretched from 1991 to 1994.
Well, it's because it was long run.
Claymation, right?
It took a long time.
Yeah, they were only, what, four or five minute episodes.
Yeah, because you've got to move a limb.
Take a photo.
Take a photo.
Move a limb.
Take a photo.
Who has the patience for Claymation?
I would have zero patience.
Have they not heard of computers?
He did the first four series in their entirety.
Right.
As Pingu and Pingi and Robbie the seal.
I know you guys are big Pingu fans.
The mum and the dad as well.
He did all the voices.
Right.
A one-man band.
A one-man band when it came to Pingu.
And this never really occurred to me.
Yeah.
But, of course, penguins don't live in the North Pole.
This was set in Antarctica.
Right.
Yeah.
But it was made by a company in the Northern Hemisphere.
Right.
So I'd assume they'd just gone for the North Pole.
But no, it's known on its Wikipedia page, set in Antarctica.
Emperor Penguin, in case you're wondering what brand.
Right, but there are no penguins down there. Where? In Antarctica. No, there are only peng said in Antarctica. Emperor Penguin, in case you're wondering what brand. Right, but there are no penguins down there.
Where?
In Antarctica.
No, there are only penguins in Antarctica.
There's only Santa in the north, penguins in the south.
Right, okay.
Polar bears, walruses, narwhals up north.
Up north, and South Pole penguins.
Walkers, penguins, and seals.
Seals.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, so that's why they were pals.
So, yeah, the man that brought us The famous Newt Newt
It was his
He invented the
Newt Newt
And he's dead
Yeah
And apparently
He never used the script
When he Pingu'd
He just absolutely
Ad-libbed
What would the script say?
Well I thought
He might go through
And be like
Okay so Pingu here
Is making popcorn
And it's been
A great success
So him and his
Little sister Are going to add more popcorn
and the whole house is going to be full of popcorn.
These are the words I'll prepare.
But no, he freestyled it completely.
And just made up some noises.
Yeah, and then he...
When it got to the nude part.
Wow.
Yeah, but there's been two other people who have done Pingu since.
A 2017 spin-off, a Japanese production company made Pingu people who have done Pingu since. A 2017 spinoff.
A Japanese production company made Pingu in the city,
and Pingu moved to the city.
How ridiculous.
Oh, my God, he'd be so hot.
Yeah.
Yeah, and his little feet.
His little feet would get abs-
And he couldn't slide on his belly along that harsh, unforgiving asphalt.
Oh, my God, in Times Square.
It would just be too much.
That's the city I immediately imagined he went to.
The Big Apple.
New York, yeah.
New York City.
So, yeah, no, it's a big noot-noot to you, sir.
We tip our hats.
And give you a noot-noot.
And we do a little curtsy and we give you a noot-noot.
A noot-noot.
The nation noot-noots.
Rest in peace, noot-noot.
Noot-noot.
Noot-noot.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
A story of love that'll move you to... It's not that.
It's not that.
It's not that emotional.
It's just a really cute little thing.
So I'm going to call...
I'm going to say it's early days.
This is a story of a couple who are 21 and 20.
Okay.
Generally, those aren't the relationships that last.
No.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hate to say it. Yeah. Though I did meet Aaron at 21 and I'm hoping that's it. All my money relationships that last. No. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate to say it.
Yeah.
Though I did meet Aaron at 21, and I'm hoping that's it.
All my money's on him.
Yeah.
Anyway, so this couple, they got together seven years after they met.
Okay.
But they didn't actually meet when they met because they were just pen pals.
They connected through a, there's like a website, Omegle.
That was the one where you talked to strangers on the internet.
And it was mostly, wasn't it, like boobies and doodles?
Yeah.
Producer Jared's very much nodding there.
Producer Jared, have you been on Omegle?
Yeah, I've been on Omegle.
And it's like one in three years of willy.
One in three years of willy.
So explain how it works for those that don't know.
Yeah, you open it and then it randomly matches you with someone else on Omegle
who's on video chat.
Is this like Chatroulette?
Okay, so they're on a cam.
It's like Chatroulette.
It's basically Chatroulette.
Right.
Remember when we did Chatroulette on air live and I saw a willy?
You saw a willy.
So are there willies there too?
Yeah, it's rife.
Oh, it's rife.
It's the internet.
Yeah.
It's 90% willies and 10% cats.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, now I want to go on Omegle.
Well, I've tried to go there and it says, are you sure you want to visit this site?
Yeah.
It is an adult social networking site.
Okay.
And it may violate my company policy.
Oh.
Violate it.
Violate it.
Because it's Warden's computer violating it.
Also, these laptops say that when I'm trying to buy a lotto ticket,
that I'm violating the company policy.
But it's a great way to meet new friends.
The video is monitored.
Keep it clean.
What do I want to talk about?
But hang on.
It says keep it clean, but producer Jared said that there's willies.
Okay.
Just clean willies.
Oh, no, not college student chat.
No, no, no, Vaughan.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Vaughan, Vaughan, Vaughan, you're 40, Vaughan. Oh, no, okay. No, no, not college student chat. No, no, no, Vaughan. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, Vaughan, Vaughan, Vaughan, you're 40, Vaughan.
Oh, no, okay.
No, no, no, no.
To do the college student, you've got to put in your college email.
Right.
Ender.
Oh, okay.
You know, like.ac or.school.
.harvard, probably, for me.
Yeah,.yale.
Yeah,.yale.
Yeah,.com.
What would I be?
What would I be?
Community.
Oh.
Yeah.
Polytech.
.polytech..polytech..worldpolytech..worldpo.com. What would I be? What would I be? Oh. Yeah. Polytech..polytech.
.polytech.
.worldpolytech.
.worldpolytech.
.eu.
Damn it.
Okay.
Check, check.
Has it connected you to anything?
I'm covering my camera.
I'm just walking.
Please allow Amigo to use your camera.
Oh, okay.
Reluctantly.
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line.
Oh, my God.
It's terrible that the tagline for this company,
we're all crowded around now.
Here we go.
We can all...
Okay, how long until we see a penis?
The first one's loading.
It's loading.
We're looking for someone to chat with.
How long until we see a penis?
Oh, no, it's going to be like one in five.
You're now chatting with a random stranger.
Come on.
Okay.
So you stand with Hong...
Oh, it's asking me to make a very political statement.
It's a political message.
Well, it's not.
Couldn't find anyone who shares interests with you,
so this stranger is completely random.
You've got no interests.
No, I put Pingu.
Well, nobody's going to be looking for someone else to talk about Pingu.
We just lost the voice of Pingu.
Land Rover or whatever.
Yeah, that would have been a...
Hi.
Hello.
It's just a texture.
This stage.
Hi.
God, this is really interesting.
We'll just go to the next one.
This is boring. Well, how do I to the next one. This is boring.
Well, how do I pick the next one?
Producer Jarrett,
you promised us penises.
I've seen a lot.
I don't know why you guys aren't.
How are you?
Oh, this is slow.
Get to the willies.
It was boring.
Well, anyway,
so what,
this couple meet on this website
that's boring.
It's so boring.
Well, the thing is,
they met, and so this
you said it's an adult chat site, but they met
when they were 14. Right.
So, I mean, I wasn't chatting.
Not if there are willies.
Jared? Jared, how old were you
when you were on there? Probably about
the same age. Oh my god, Jared.
I'm looking at strangest willies on the internet.
Anyway, this beautiful couple from
one was in Ireland. Yeah from, one was in Ireland.
Yeah.
And one was in Illinois.
Yeah.
In America.
And they met when they were 14 through this Omegle boring website with no willies on it.
Yeah.
Although, I will just say Vaughn is refreshing the page.
Yeah, yeah.
So there may still be a willy.
I know.
I blanked.
Put interest willies.
I removed all of my interests.
And now it's actually connected me with three different people who have
hung up very quickly.
Should I get my Willie out?
No, absolutely not.
Anyway, so they met on this and they
chatted for seven years, exchanging messages,
writing to each other,
little pen pals.
And then,
seven years after 14, so that's 20 and 21
basically their ages at the time.
And they thought, oh my God, you know, we've just had such this connection for all these years.
We've turned into adults together.
Let's meet.
So one of them flew from Ireland to America to meet up.
Boom.
Fell in love.
Oh, wow.
Like instantly fell in love.
The tension was there the whole time, I reckon.
Yeah.
And now they are a couple and they just, I mean, look at them.
They're the cutest little cuties I've ever seen.
Oh my God, what a couple of cuties.
Couple of cuties.
Right.
Guys, I just changed my settings to non-modified, modified, moderated chat.
I'm coming back.
I'm coming back.
And now it says, before I could only have stop chatting or send, now I have soft moan
and gay cams Brackets free
Brackets
Okay you are definitely
Getting an email from
Do you like soft moan?
Yes
You're definitely getting
You're definitely getting
An email from
IT
Oh no soft moan's not
Soft moan's no
No no no
That's taking me to a different
Thing all together
Oh my gosh
Ah
No Shredding tab Let's shut that down Yeah well we've We've made quite a beautiful Soft Minds, no, no, no, no, no. That's taking me to a different thing altogether. Oh, my gosh. Ah, no.
Shredding tab.
Let's shut that down.
Yeah, well, we've made quite a beautiful romantic love story.
A little bit smutty.
Yes.
And we didn't mean to, but I got excited.
And they did the traditional pen pal thing.
Wow.
It's like your brother met his wife on the wrestling forum.
The wrestling chat room, yeah.
And then went to America.
They went to America and watched wrestling, didn't they?
On their honeymoon, yeah, they went to
WrestleMania. That's right.
So there you go. Guys, you simply must watch
the video of them meeting at the airport.
Oh, I simply must. They're soulmates.
Is it as likely to make me cry as
seeing a dog reunited with their
owner who's just come back from the Middle East after
fighting for the US Army? Nothing makes you cry
more than that.
The dogs, remember.
Not even the day my parents pass will make me cry more than watching an army dog.
I might have a series of those videos played at my own funeral just to really make sure these are dry eye in the house.
Yeah.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the Top Six.
Hi there.
Donald Trump said yesterday that a large group of FBI agents were at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach,
his Florida home and residence.
They raided it.
And they raided it and broke open a safe.
Broke open a safe. Oh, broke open a safe.
Yeah.
Well, and like they were saying yesterday, like, to get a warrant, you've got to show a judge that you've got some evidence.
You know?
What are they looking for?
So they're looking for, apparently, documents.
And they took 15 boxes.
It is connected to an investigation into whether the former president removed classified records and sensitive material from the White House and took them to Mar-a-Lago. Oh, like he took stuff from...
Yeah.
I have a feeling he shouldn't do that.
You know like when you get fired from a job,
you steal some photocopied paper, some staplers, some highlighters.
He stole national secrets and the access codes to Area 51.
I'm just saying.
Aliens, y'all.
Absolutely.
US presidents are required by the Presidential Records Act
to transfer all of their documents and emails to the National Archives.
Right.
Makes sense.
Does it mean that if they find some documents,
like he's hidden them or taken them from the White House,
that he'll get fined?
Or like, what's the...
Well, no, I think you can be charged, right?
Like it's a criminal offence. It's a no, you can, I think you can be charged, right? Like, it's a criminal
offence.
It's a criminal
offence.
Yeah.
So you could
be charged.
I don't know
what the outcome
would be.
This article
doesn't say
what you could be
because it's
never happened
before.
Of course
it hasn't.
Most of the time
they elect
people of
semi-sound mind
or sort of
political prowess
into the White House.
That's what he
tweeted, that no
former US President had been treated this
poorly or this has never happened before
and everyone's like, that's your presidency
on a whole my dude. Yes it is. You've never happened
before. You have never happened. So I've got the top
six things they found when they were looking for
those documents at the Mara Lago
Resort. Number six,
the golf ball that he hit into the
water hazard that he said landed
on the other side but when he went round to it
he just dropped another ball and was like, I found it.
He would be a big golf chief.
Big golf chief. Big golf chief.
I mean he played golf more of his presidency than he actually
presidented.
That's all part of it isn't it though?
The golfing?
No, no, no. All part of being the
president. No, but he...
President's golf.
He golfed and then he golfed and then he golfed.
Obama likes a little bit of golf.
No, but Trump golfed...
In fact, I'll Google and see.
So I think someone worked it out.
He more than any...
Like how many days did he golf more than he presided?
Number five on the list of the top six things the FBI found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
His failed soda pop brand. Yeah, it did. Number five on the list of the top six things the FBI found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
His failed soda pop brand, which was called Make America Grape Again.
It was grape-flavored soda.
I don't know.
You lose me at grape-flavored, you know?
It's like the worst flavor.
Yeah.
Wasn't there a grape Fanta?
Disagree.
Or was there?
Yeah.
I feel like there was. Yeah, the purple one.
But how good were tangy grapes?
Remember Tangy Apples? Producer Jared agrees. I remember Tangy Apples one. But how good were tangy grapes? Remember tangy apples?
Producer Jared agrees.
I remember tangy apples.
And then they had the tangy grapes, the purple ones.
I don't remember those.
Grape hubba bubba.
I've got an answer to the question, how much did Trump golf?
Somebody has actually set up the website trumpgolfcount.com.
The cost to the taxpayer of Trump golfing while he was president,
because bear in mind, there could have been flights, their secret service,
they have to shut down golf clubs.
$144 million.
Cool. You've got to love the game.
Daytime visits,
150 times.
Wow.
I mean, that's cool. That's what you want,
right? Like, you know, there's problems.
No, but it was good, because we didn't want him actually
doing anything. You're saying he was less danger to the world
when he was dog-fed.
Yeah, he was just treading water
until we could get him out of there.
That's a fair call.
Number four on the list of the top six things
the FBI found at the Trump Mar-a-Lago resort
while looking for those documents
are documents, documents, documents,
some more graves by his first wife's grave.
That's wild because his first wife died,
like, what, a few weeks ago?
Yeah.
And he buried her at the resort
for a tax break.
I can't remember
the reason
but there was
an article
that explained
why he would have
benefited financially
from burying her there.
Oh my god.
Of course.
Why was Trump
in charge
of where his ex
was buried?
Also a very good question.
Yeah weird.
I don't know.
Number three on the list of the top six things
the FBI found at Mar-a-Lago Resort.
They found Baron.
Remember Baron?
Oh, yeah.
The kid.
Poor baby Baron.
Poor little baby Baron.
He must be like seven foot something now.
Yeah.
He was an absolute giant.
Number two on the list of the top six things
the FBI found when they raided Mar-a-Lago Resort.
A wardrobe full of insanely long red ties.
Oh, yeah.
Always with the long ties.
Always with the terrible length of ties.
Sorry, just to go back to Barron.
I've just looked him up.
Barron Trump.
That's not his, eh?
That child is not Barron Trump's.
Yeah, it is.
It's his and Melania's?
Yeah.
Yeah, but, I mean, he's like...
Because his other sons look like him.
The Eric and the... Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don like... Because his other sons look like him. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
He's a big unit.
He's a big unit.
Donald Trump's like 6'4".
He's huge.
He is literally huge.
And number one on the list of the top six things the FBI found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
Another failed business venture.
Yeah.
After Make America Grape Again.
Trump's Tramps.
Oh, okay. Where he tried to get into Trump's Tramps. Oh, okay.
Where he tried to get into
the trampoline market.
Oh, didn't work out.
Failed miserably.
Yeah.
Failed miserably,
but he gave it a go.
That's today's Top 6.
This is an article
pertaining to Americans,
but as they often say,
the Americans speak
on behalf of the whole world.
Yes.
They represent us all.
I like America to do my speaking for me.
You've got something in your beard.
What have you got?
Oh, no, it's fallen out.
It's some white thing.
Was it porridge?
Was it icing?
Icing.
Was it icing?
One of our lovely Bangers Bingo attendees last night bought us some pastries.
Friend of the show, Kat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Delicious pastries.
Shout out, Kat. We ate them. Showing us her, Kat. Yeah. Delicious pastries. Shout out Kat.
Showing us her new profession.
Yeah, and I tell you what,
the icing,
doesn't that go right in the mouth?
Or the beard?
Delicious.
Famously, that's where icing goes.
Yeah, in the mouth.
Where do you put it usually?
On the nipples.
Fletch is a big icing nipples guy.
So he peels off the icing
and nips it
and then eats the pastry.
Sometimes he'll just pipe
a nipple icing
straight onto it.
Sometimes I'll pipe it straight on.
But you don't have very big nipples. I've got tiny nipples. That's why. And he'll just pipe nipple icing straight onto it. Sometimes I'll pipe it straight on. Absolutely. But you don't have
very big nipples.
I've got tiny nipples.
That's why.
And then he does multiple dots
of icing around the chest
and makes a potential suitor
find the nipple.
Guess where the nipple is.

and if the nipple's behind it,
you win the nipple.
Yeah.
But then Fletch wins too
because it's nipple stimulation.
I'll stop you there.
Just final question
because I've got the article here.
Is small nipples in your family?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Dad got little nips?
I don't know.
Brother got little nips?
I don't know.
What do you mean you haven't seen
your family's nipples?
I haven't seen my family's nipples. I haven't seen my family's nipples.
You haven't seen your mother's nipples, but you see the male's nipples.
Well, you haven't seen your mother's nipples.
You used to be on it.
Yeah, but I can't remember.
There's no recall there, yeah.
I couldn't sit down with a police sketch artist and draw my mother's nipples.
I reckon I could.
I reckon I could spot it.
I reckon I could call Patsy's nips from a line-up.
Well, I won't have.
You're saying if your mom was lined up with six other women in a lit room,
you'd be able to pick her nipples?
Yeah, I reckon.
That is wild.
Okay.
That is absolutely wild.
Well, I shan't be teased anymore about my tiny nipples.
All right.
This story, though...
This story about post-pandemic drinking.
So basically, we all know that during the first kind of explosion
of the pandemic, we were all locked inside,
the drinking increased. Yeah.
Leading to a myriad of issues.
You know, how...
Fun. Fun.
A way to pass the day.
Yeah. Well, and there were also
on the other side of things, some sad issues.
Some sad issues. To come from that.
But one side of it that
you won't believe
is the cost of it all.
So obviously the cost of...
It's not the cost that we spent on it.
Like it's not how much your bottle of vodka costs.
No, no, because that's supporting local.
Because I buy strictly New Zealand vodka.
Right, okay.
And they buy from the local liquor store.
I like to imagine I'm helping the war effort.
Right, okay. The Russian buy from the local liquor store. I like to imagine I'm helping the war effort. Right, okay.
Yeah, right. The Russian war effort.
Oh, right, okay. Pro-Russian over here, are we? Oh, jeepers, crap. Some wild
stances from you. I'd be more than
happy to drink a Ukrainian vodka if it was offered
to me. Okay, great. Remember when everyone was
tipping out their Russian vodka for a while? We
had a bottle of Russian vodka at home.
Yeah, and then you like read the back and it was like
made in South Auckland. Yeah, yeah. I was like, it's really not gonna do anything for ukraine if i tip this
out anyway i digress the the shocking number i have here is the cost on um the health sector
right basically of americans and their increased drinking during the pandemic. $5.4 billion in medical bills due to alcohol-related hospital visits.
Is that what they expect to happen or what has happened?
No, that is what has happened.
Wow.
So if you look at the past three years compared to, say, the three years before,
they've had $300,000 extra.
So on top of what they already have, alcohol-related hospital visits.
I wonder if we'd have, like, they'd be able to work out our stats like that, right?
I don't imagine they'd be as, I mean, per capita, it'd probably be quite bad.
But all sorts of things, like accidents, alcohol poisoning.
Yeah, right.
All sorts, because people, as the pandemic has been settling down,
the drinking habits that we started haven't.
The at-home drinking in particular.
People haven't managed to shake them.
It's stuck.
So, yeah, they're blaming the likes of,
because a lot of celebrities jumped on this, you know,
like the tequila brands, the Kendall's Tequila and Snoop Dogg's,
but they got that terrible wine and stuff.
Yeah.
And they were all just jumping on this knowing that we were all drinking more.
So it's Kendall Jenner and Snoop Dogg's fault.
So what I'm saying is Kendall Jenner and Snoop Dogg and The Rock.
And Bryan Cranston.
And Bryan Cranston owe us $5.4 billion.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, this article caught my eye this morning.
Yeah.
But now I'm even more invested in Vaughan.
This will get you in as well.
Go on.
Now, this is a story about a Sydney bakery.
Okay.
That's what I thought.
Bakery.
I'm on board.
Wait till you hear about it.
It's a Vietnamese bakery.
Bun me, baby.
Bun me, bun me, bun me, bun me.
Bun me, bun me, bun me.
Hit me that Vietnamese coffee
With sweetened condensed
Milk in the bar
Oh Vietnamese coffee is the best
Is it because of the sweetened condensed milk
It is eh
Yeah
Yeah
And the cats
The cats
What do you mean the cats
Those little catty creatures
That eat the beans
And poop them out
Oh yeah
I've had that in Bali
That's problematic
But that's nice coffee
Yeah it is nice coffee
It's like a dark, rich coffee they have.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the extra poop.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Well, this Vietnamese.
Pineapple.
No, I said it so it didn't happen.
That's a COVID symptom.
You know that?
I am aware of that.
Yeah.
Well, I haven't been asleep for two and a half years.
I am aware.
Sneezing is one of the most.
Okay.
Just keep away from Hayley and I.
God, I hate it when I.
We're on a journey to health here.
We don't need your COVID. We are on a journey to health. Also, I hate it when a sneeze gets sucked away from Hayley and I. God, I hate it when I... We're on a journey to health here. We don't need your COVID.
We are on a journey to health.
Also, I hate it when a sneeze gets sucked away from you.
I know.
I say, I'm going to sneeze, and the sneeze is like, oh, no, you're not.
And then I'll show you, Mr. Announce Me.
And it has shown you, hasn't it?
Yeah, it's run away.
Anyway, so a Sydney Vietnamese bakery.
They've been absolutely crucified because they...
Pontius Pilate.
Judas told Pontius Pilate where they were.
No, sort of like metaphorically or kind of symbolically crucified.
Right.
Not actually...
On the cross.
Put on a cross.
To other criminals.
So in their bakery, and it went on Reddit, is all the prices on the thing.
Yeah.
Bun me however much.
I'll pay whatever it costs to be free for a bun me.
You tell me and I'll pass the money over.
But there's one side that has an extras menu.
Extra chilli, extra salad, extra meat.
You know, $1.50, $0.50.
Extra egg, $1.50.
Extra pate.
Yes, please.
Extra bag, $0.50. Extra pate. Yes, please. Extra bag, $0.10.
Okay.
And then it's the bottom extra that's got people...
The crucifixion.
That's got them crucified and nailing them...
Right, to the reddit cross.
Hammer and nail to the reddit cross.
Request the roll be cut in half, $0.20.
Is it because it's time consuming to cut a bun in half?
Time is money. Time is money, yeah. Yeah, and it might require a knife swap. Is it because it's time consuming to cut a bun in half?
Time is money Time is money
Yeah
And it might require a knife swap
Yeah
Maybe
Yeah, you need one of those wet ones
Like Subway
They come out of the wet bucket
Who was not going to cut a burger here?
It was BK
It was BK
They were like, we're not cutting it
It was the long BK chicken
Yeah, they were like, we're not cutting it anymore
Because we have to do knife training with the staff.
Oh, you don't want bloody fingers in there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, people are just like, that's an absolutely ridiculous charge.
Yeah.
Just to get it, like, cut in half.
I've already paid for the sandwich.
Could you pay for it and then ask them for a knife?
That would be,
I'd do that just to annoy them.
Yeah, that is so sad.
Have you tried cutting a bun, me,
with like a standard non-sharp knife?
It's a hard,
for those that don't know,
it's like a garlic bread,
like a French stick.
Yeah, it's like a French stick.
Ideally, yeah,
it's a crusty baguette.
Yeah, so it's hard.
It's got a crusty top to it.
You need a sharp knife.
You can't just do that
with a kitchen knife. You need a sharp knife. You can't just do that with a kitchen knife.
You need a really sharp serrated edge or an intensely sharp standard edge.
Well, if you want it cut properly, you're going to have to pay 20 cents.
But then on this Reddit thread, people were sharing other stories of ridiculous surcharges at places they've been.
Yeah.
Oh, I love this.
And one of them was from a Spanish restaurant that charged 20 cents every time the waiter had to visit the table.
But did they ask for the waiter to visit the table?
Not always.
But if you were to say, should we get another round of drinks?
Garcon.
Yeah.
And you brought them over.
But then in America, that wouldn't be 20 cents.
That would literally be a percentage.
Your tip?
Yeah, it would be.
You do pay for that.
I'm not paying 20 cents for when you've got your mouth full of food
and they say,
how's your meal?
No, it is.
That'll be on the bill.
That'll be on the bill.
No, thank you.
You should get five free calls to the table.
I get it.
There's those tables you go over
and they're really pestering,
waving them over,
rudely like clicking.
See, I'd charge a dollar for a click.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
$10 for a whistle. yeah absolutely $10 for a whistle
I reckon $5
for a garcon
yeah I'd pay the $5
just to say garcon
at this point
that's what that
Karen restaurant
we talked about
that's coming to New Zealand
that's all over Australia
oh where they wrote to you
yeah they should
charge people
for like
rudeness
yeah yeah
for being rude to them
mmm
god now I just want
a bun me
yeah
I am worried about it right now Yeah, yeah, for being rude to them. God, now I just want to bun me. Yeah.

Lamb mince is so expensive.
I love lamb mince, but that is an expensive mince.
I'm so happy I could finally share my top five minces.
Yeah, I thought that's been on your mind for a while, so we delve into that.
There's also this mince.
That's number six.
That's mincing.
That's mincing. That's mincing.
My number six is an eclipse.
Yeah.
An eclipse mints.
I heard yesterday that there's been a discontinuation of airwaves.
What?
Have you guys heard this news?
What?
Airwaves?
Oh my God, Patsy's right now.
Big airwaves.
The mint.
The mint.
Airwaves mints.
The chewing gum.
Jared, can you hear you on the Google?
Can you have a Google of that, mate, and let us know the airwaves mints?
Another thing that COVID and these... Was it airwaves? I'm sure it was airwaves. Airwaves was the blue gum. Jared, can you on the Google? Can you on the Google with that mate and let us know the airwaves mints? Another thing that
COVID and these
Discontinued, was it
airwaves?
I'm sure it was
airwaves.
Airwaves was the
blue gum.
I thought that was
gum.
That blew your
Yeah, but it was
like a minty gum.
Blew your breath
apart.
Right, well you
can't just get on
the radio and say
something's been
discontinued and
back it up with
nothing.
Nothing.
I read it.
Somebody asked me,
oh, was it on our FVH International podcast family?
We'll do some research, listener, before you go out there and panic.
We'll carry on with this wild turkey that would be great as my top five mints.
Oh, yeah, that wild turkey in East Auckland.
I just had a quick squiz for that mince.
Oh, chap, I can't find it.
And then it continues.
Gemma said, gobble, gobble, turkey's alive and kicking.
This is the next day.
I wonder if he was having a sleep yesterday because he was fears that he may be dead.
Okay.
Stop and wait for his royal highness to cross the road.
This guy really needs to be taken to a farm.
He's desensitized the car.
No fear.
In fact, bordering on arrogance.
Next is Vickness says, spotted the famous turkey today.
Everyone's talking about this turkey's naughty going on.
And they were right.
Fearless and arrogant.
Oh, okay.
Sounds like he's about to make a nasty end.
Oh, I thought you were going to say make a run to be a national MP.
Just looking at how the US is going.
And some new allegations surfacing this morning or last night.
Very condemning.
Jill pipes in with a little joke.
Do you guys want a turkey joke from Jill?
I love a Jill.
Why did the turkey cross the road?
Why?
To prove he wasn't chicken.
Thanks, Jill.
Thanks, Jill.
Thanks, Jill.
Let's leave the turkey gate there.
So, wait, there's a free turkey in East Auckland?
Yeah.
Okay. Now, there's free turkeys everywhere, but here's leave the turkey gate there. So, wait, there's a free turkey in East Auckland? Yeah. Okay.
Now, there's free turkeys everywhere, but here's the rule with turkeys.
You don't shoot turkeys to eat them in a month with an R in it.
Did you know that?
No, that's not a thing.
You're being bloody stupid.
No, it is.
Look at that.
You can't eat.
It's not a thing.
If you shoot a turkey and eat it in the warmer months, it's far more likely to have parasites
in it that will make you very, very sick.
What about September?
That's not a... It's got an R in it. So make you very, very sick. What about September? That's not the warm months.
It's got an R in it. So you can't do it then?
It's starting to get warm again. So May, June,
July, August. Right.
Yeah, your winter months. Okay.
That's just a little from me to you, Turkey
chat. Yeah, thank you. Oriwa, Red
Beach, Silverdale, New Zealand. Valmay
Borica says, thank you for the invite, but I will
not be joining the page.
Kept it short, kept it simple, and was very polite in doing so.
The Fitty Chat page.
Kayla writes, bit weird, but if you have a ginger cat and its testicles somehow disappeared,
I found them on my deck this morning.
I'm not joking.
I have a video, but thought I better not put it here as it's quite graphic.
They don't just fall off.
The cat's okay. Someone's balls fall off. The cat's okay.
Someone's balls fell off.
The cat's balls fell out.
Did somebody do that thing they do to sheep?
Dagged it.
With the ball on it.
Yeah.
By the ring.
The ring.
You can't do that to a cat.
You've got to go get it done professionally.
Yes, correct.
That's so weird.
De-sexing your animals is a very vital part of being a responsible pet owner, but that's
not how you do it.
No.
But she says it's graphic.
No further details.
I don't know.
And this one from a gold coast.
She should have put the ginger nuts on for everyone to see.
The ginger nuts.
Yes.
He's good.
You and Karen should catch up.
Yeah, good for you.
Not Karen, Jill.
And have a chat about good jokes.
Yeah, that was a good joke.
And this one from somebody who listens to the show on the Gold Coast.
It's popped up on the Gold Coast community page.
One of those anonymous submissions that you can do on pages.
Now, if you've got a question, but you don't want everyone to know who's asking it.
Oh, yeah, great.
I'm a bloke with some advice for other blokes.
If your partner uses lip plumping gloss, don't let her go anywhere near your old mate.
That stuff has chilies or something in it.
The ingredients that is in it to make their lips swell up set my old fella on fire.
It's very difficult to wash off due to the fact that it's balmy.
I was 10 minutes with my minty member plunged in a glass of cold water and it did nothing,
so I tried milk.
Still no relief.
I think you've got to have a hot shower to...
Blowing on it
and fanning it with cool air does nothing.
It just
seems to make things worse. But you know when
something's minty and you blow on it, you really feel it.
Yeah, it's colder.
As I sit here with a
throbbing, and then a brackets, the bad
way, close brackets, old mate
that feels like a snag on a barbie and a mortified
girlfriend. I just wanted to warn the male
population of the Gold Coast because I know how
the ladies here love plumping their lips.
They do. They do love
a plump lip. It tingles though. I've used
it once like years and years and years ago just
for a bit of fun. Put it on and it
tingles. This looks like you've been
stung by a bee or something, doesn't it? Yeah.
You're like, hmm.
Yeah.
So don't get it on your sensitive bits.
That's great news.
That's what we can take away from that today.
Turkey reports, we're still taking them though, so please do let us know.
Those are today's community notices.
If you see anything on your local Facebook page, perhaps submit it anonymously.
Screencap it and send it to ours, FVHZM.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Last night, a great bangers bingo.
Thank you to everybody that came along in Dunedin.
Yeah, shout out to the disco room.
We had two rooms.
The disco room really came out on top there.
Jazz room.
No, they didn't.
We had predominantly jazz room winners.
Jazz room were trash.
Disco room for life.
Yeah, currently minus one here as well in Dunedin,
but a beautiful day.
I found a weather report that says minus two, so
that's the one I chose to see for my wife. You win.
Okay. More drama.
Far more dramatic.
But on the way to the airport yesterday in Auckland
leaving our studios on
the way to the airport, we pulled up to
some traffic lights and we saw the nose of a vehicle.
Just the nose.
And it had that little Rolls Royce
angel thing on the hood. Yeah, money. To the nose. And it had that little Rolls Royce angel thing on the hood.
Yeah.
Money.
To scream money.
Screamed money.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, look, Rolls Royce.
And we were looking, but we could only see the front of the car.
And it looked like most Rolls Royces do.
And it was big.
Forest green?
Yeah, big.
And then it pulled out to go around, and it was like a Rolls Royce four-wheel drive Rolls Royce that wanted to be a Range Rover sort of vibe.
It was massive.
It was a tank.
And I'll say it, ugly.
Really?
Ugly, yeah.
Was it too square?
Quite boxy.
Quite boxy.
I'd say boxy.
Yeah, I'm sure it was an absolute comfort dream to be inside of.
Oh, yeah.
But if you're paying that much money, and so I said, we had a bit of a bitch in the
mind about rich people.
While we're in the basic bitch
chimney, the white girl's chimney.
Why would you want to spend much money?
10,000, I think.
30,000, pretty much 30,000 brand new.
You get a better brand new car
for 30 grand. Okay, I'll wait.
And they should be paying
you for all of this. They really should be.
Unpaid, yeah, kind words.
I've never taken a dollar from Land Rover or
Jimny in case anyone ever wonders. It's pure
passion selling this thing. It truly is.
So then we forget about
it, it disappears. Then it passes
us again later on the motorway.
And we're just like, look at this thing.
Fletch Googles how much it's worth.
Let me guess.
Okay.
$370.
North.
No, more.
It was just under half a million dollars.
That's if you wanted the non-bulletproof version.
Why would you buy it if it wasn't bulletproof?
So I looked up.
Driven.co.nz had done an article about this,
what was it, a Rolls Royce?
A Rolls Royce.
You can get the bulletproof, blastproof version
for 1.4, 1.2.
1.4 million dollars.
Who needs a bulletproof Rolls Royce in New Zealand?
Along with the two champagne glass holders
that were in the picture,
can withstand two simultaneous grenade explosions.
Oh my God, because I hate it when a grenade explodes near my Mazda 3.
And it's never just one.
It's never just one, is it?
It's never just one.
Never just one.
The first one goes off and you go, here we go.
Here we go.
And then the second one.
Wait for the second one.
My Mazda 3 just absolutely crumples.
I'm going through them at the moment.
Yeah, I really feel it in the suspension, in the chimney when I hit a grenade.
Oh, my God. Yeah, that's gross. in the suspension, in the chimney when I had a plane. Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's a gross.
Hard ride, hard ride.
Like, could you even imagine paying that for a car that's ugly AF?
I hate to say it, Fletch, I don't have that.
No, obviously not.
But even if you won Lotto, like, you wouldn't buy that car.
What's Jeff Bezos' daily?
Not even the richest man on earth.
Oh, I don't know what he drives.
He's rocking a Corolla.
Tried and true.
Never let you down. Yeah.
Are you going to Google what Jeff Bezos drove off? No, but this is
Kardashian cars. They love
the Rolls Royces and the Bentleys. Do they have
Rolls Royces? They've got a couple of Rolls Royces
between them. They love the
G-Wagons and stuff. Oh, G-Wagons.
They love those. Well, apparently
he drives a Honda Accord.
Yes, my man.
Like you used to have.
They're a great car.
They'll go forever.
Parts are cheap.
You don't have to need parts.
Quite economical.
He's also down to earth, isn't he?
Several articles, apart from when he goes off earth.
Off earth.
So down to earth.
Yeah, there's several articles about how he'll just drive a dunger Honda Accord.
That would actually be a great Driven article.
I think it's probably been done.
I'm just yelling into the abyss hoping somebody picks up on this and says Driven.
Driven!
A great article.
The world's richest people and what they drive.
Play.

Catherine's not a Bible name.
Oh.
Where's Catherine in the...
Susan certainly isn't a Bible name.
Becky?
Put that Becky in the Bible.
And Becky said to...
Well, Becky's in the book of Beyonce.
Becky with the good hair.
Yeah, that's true.
Becky said to Slytherin,
Jesus, you...
Fletch knows nothing about religion.
I'm not a religious woman,
but you need to pick up a Bible.
I don't.
I'm fine.
What are your religion?
I know the male biblical names.
Male names like Matthew.
The Bible's far more...
Is the Bible a feminist piece of literature?
I wouldn't think so.
I wouldn't go that far.
Okay, so what are your traditional, like, Mary?
Yes, Mary. Madonna.
That is. Is it?
Yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, okay.
Madonna. I'll put Lorde down as well, just in case.
Were there any other chicks other than Mary? Eve.
Eve. Yeah, Adam and Eve. Famously.
Famously.
Who was banging Moses? Noah. No. I was movingously. Famously. Who was banging Moses?
Noah.
No.
I was moving on.
Noah's right.
Noah knows about Noah and Moses.
Shush.
Shush.
Who was Noses?
Noses?
No.
Go on your face.
Noses.
Moses, I don't know if he was seeing anybody.
What about Joan of Arc?
Joan.
Put Joan down.
Not in the Bible.
Joan of Arc was a French revolutionary. Was she in the sequel? She definitely isn't in the Bible. Joan of Arc was a French revolutionary, wasn't she?
Was she in the sequel?
She definitely isn't in the Bible, Joan of Arc.
The Bible 2.
Joan unleashed.
Was Mary Antoinette in the Bible?
No.
Florence Nightingale wasn't.
You guys are just naming female historical figures.
Sylvia Plath.
Put all of these names down, Vaughan.
They're all great names.
Zipporah.
Who's Moses' wife?
Zipporah?
No, she's the makeup store.
She started the makeup chain.
Zipporah.
Is that pretty great?
Okay.
Is Heidi from the Bible?
I don't think so.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Heidi's from the hills.
Ruth is.
They're alive with the sound of music.
Okay, next question.
Next question.
Chocolate bar of choice for your mother?
Oh, I feel like a creamy milk, just like a classic.
A classic dairy milk.
She's a classic dame.
Does she go for any of the new flavours?
Does she like a caramilk or a...
Yeah, she likes the dark salted caramel as well.
That's another go-to.
Rich, classy.
Debra. She's got Debra written all over it. De's another go-to. Rich, classy. Debra.
She's got Debra written all over it.
Debra, yeah.
Big Debra energy there.
Debra wasn't at church last week, but she'll be here next week.
She's here sometimes.
She's casual.
Yeah.
Okay, what else?
Is that ringing any bells?
Do you know any kind of woman that could be mum's age that love a dark chocolate?
Vaughan, does Christine love a dark chocolate?
No, too bitter for her.
Too bitter. If she's having chocolate? No, too bitter for her.
She likes sweet chocolate.
She's more of like Heidi said, the traditional.
I think a Helen would like a bitter chocolate.
Helen's always going back into the fridge.
True.
Goes well with her durries.
Choccy and a dozer.
A classic lady.
Louise?
Louises love dark chocolate. Do you? Do they? Do you know a few Louises that love dark chocolate? I know a Louise Louises love dark chocolate.
Do you?
Do they?
Do you know a few Louises that love dark chocolate?
I know a Louise that loves a dark chocolate.
Yeah.
I might go a Monica.
Oh, okay.
Monique.
Monique.
I think Monica's upset.
A Monique.
Okay.
Heidi's got a poker face on her, doesn't she?
Yeah.
Not giving you...
The rules state
Hayley is not,
sorry, Heidi is not
allowed to give away
anything.
No, no, no,
she's actually
playing the game
beautifully.
Monique,
does mum recycle?
Question three,
is she a,
is she a,
is she a recycler?
Mum and dad
recycle at home.
Oh, good.
They bring it into town.
Oh, okay,
so they go out
of their way
to recycle into town. Rural. Okay. Is that rural? That rural. They don it into town. Oh, okay. So they go out of their way to recycle into town.
Rural.
Okay.
Is that rural?
Rural.
They don't have the recyclables at the end of the driveway.
Yeah.
So what is that?
Giving you some ideas?
The dump.
I'm getting a rural.
She's a rural girl.
Rita.
That's my Nana.
My Nana was a rural girl.
Yeah.
Rural Rita, they called it.
Sue, do you have a Sue on the list? No, I don rural girl. Rural Rita, they called her. Sue.
Do you have a Sue on the list?
No, I don't.
I'll chuck a Sue on there, though.
I might chuck a Tiffany.
Betty.
Tiffany's 280s.
You've gone insane.
Yeah, I've gone a bit insane there.
Have you got a Barbara?
Did we say Barbara?
I haven't got a Barbara.
I'm more than happy to put one on the list.
Chuck a Barbara down a Sue.
We said Sue.
Okay, what's
mum's hair colour?
She's sort of got like a brownie
blonde colour.
She's got a belly arch. You haven't put
the classic Karen on. I have. Always put a Karen.
I have put a Karen. Okay, fantastic.
Brownie blonde.
She's got streaks. Bronwyn?
Oh, I was figuring more of a blondie situation. Okay. Brownie, blonde. So you've got streaks. Bronwyn? Oh, I was figuring more of a blondie situation.
Okay.
Does she dye her hair?
This is just a sub-question.
Does she dye her hair or is she rocking a full natch?
Yeah, she gets it dyed.
Kate?
Have you got a Kate?
I don't have a Kate.
That's a classic.
I'm not down with full natch.
I don't know.
As an abbreviated word, and I love abbreviated. For natural. Full natch. Full natural. I don't know. As an abbreviated word, and I love abbreviated.
For natural.
Full natch.
Full natural.
I don't like it.
I'm getting out there into natch rather than nature.
No.
Natch.
No.
Okay.
Is that giving you anything?
It's a few names there.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to put Kylie on the list because Kylie Minogue popped into my head there.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay. I'm just on the hair thing.
I feel like the hair things are leading.
What's who?
Some other mums, blondie mums.
Kylie?
Have you got a Kylie?
I just literally said Kylie to you out loud.
Yeah, that's probably why you said Kylie.
It's because I just said Kylie.
I think that's why.
Kylie Minogue. Cher. Sharon. Kylie. I think that's why. Kylie in the nose.
Cher. Sharon.
Sharon. We haven't got a Sharon. That's a classic.
You said Cher?
I was going to say... What about a Cher-ul?
I was going to say Sharon
and Janet and I went to say
Shannon.
That's not a name. Do you want to put Shannon on there?
I'm going to go for some...
Oh God, look. The spirit's not a name. Do you want to put Shannon on there? I'm going to go for some... Oh God, look.
Okay, last...
The spirit's talking through him.
Oh yeah, the spirit.
Let the spirits come to Vaughan.
Last question now for Heidi.
What are mum's siblings' names?
Two sisters.
You've got two sisters.
Two sisters.
Marion and Sally.
Marion.
Marion.
Sally and Marion.
Marion and Sally. Okay, there you go. Her name could be Barbara. Sally, Marion and Sally. Marion. Marion. Sally and Marion. Marion and Sally.
Okay, there you go.
Her name could be Barbara.
Sally, Marion and Barb's.
Or Sal, Marion, Barb's.
Or Sue.
Like I said, Sue.
Sue and Sally.
Sue and Sally.
No, they wouldn't do Sue and Sally.
That's silly.
That's silly.
Silly sausage.
Sue and Sally.
Silly sausage.
I think that's my favourite question,
but I can guess your mum's name,
because it gives a real
idea of the same
yeah yeah
of the parents
of the parents
I'm just going to
chuck in a few
traditional sort of
I didn't ask your mum's age
it's the first time
I've not had a real
hard age indicator
don't answer it Heidi
that's a bonus question
I'm feeling
Heidi sounds
young and youthful
I'm figuring
mum must be 50s
in the bracket.
That's what I was shooting for here.
Good luck.
You know what?
I'm going to put in Olivia because we lost Olivia Newton-John this week.
We did.
Yes, I put that down.
I'm going to put in Olivia.
She had the hair.
She would have loved a bit of recycling.
All right.
Heidi, Vaughn now has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name.
If you hear your mum's name, yell out, stop.
That's my mum's name.
Your time starts now.
Mary, Madonna, Eve, Janet, Deborah, Karen.
That's my mum's name.
Wait, which one?
What?
Which one?
Janet.
That was one of the early ones.
Mary, Madonna, Eve, Sylvia, Janet.
How did you get Janet?
Where did that one come to you?
It was in the Bible.
It was in the first two lines, which were Bible names.
So you've just been sitting here, Heidi,
when Vaughn's been fluffing about with the spirits,
knowing he's got it.
All along that he's had it.
Wow.
And then you said Janet, and I was like, you're so close.
Come on.
Janet.
All right, well.
Bonus round.
While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name.
It's a bonus round.
You've already got $100, Heidi, but for another $100,
Lorna has one guess at your dad's name, Janet and Bill.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
It's not Bill.
Don't listen to him.
You know, like Janet and Bill Ralston.
That's right.
Janet was married.
That was, what was Janet's, you're not thinking, who is, Bill's Janet.
What?
Did she go to Rolston?
Rolston, I don't know.
You're not thinking of Genevieve Westcott.
No, I'm not thinking of Genevieve Westcott.
Broadcasters.
Janet and Jack.
And they're part-time churches.
Jack.
Jack.
Janet Jackson.
Too old.
Janet Jackson.
That's the only reason I'm thinking of that.
Janet and Jack's son.
It could just be your classic.
John, Tim, Steve.
Janet and Steve.
Mike, Craig.
Janet and Mike.
Greg.
Greg and Janet.
Greg and Janet.
Ooh.
Greg.
But again, Bill.
Greg and Janet.
GJ.
Bill. Bill. You keep pulling back to Bill. Greg and Janet, GJ. Bill.
Bill.
You keep pulling back to Bill.
Well, again, just Bill.
It's not Bill.
It's not, okay.
What do you think, Greg?
If it's William, though, you know.
William.
That would come under.
William would fall under Bill.
Will and Janet.
Will.
William and Janet.
I like that.
I like Greg.
I like Greg or Steve.
Greg.
God damn it, Dave.
You just convinced me and then you threw me off.
Greg.
You're going to go Greg?
Yeah, let's go Greg.
Heidi, what is your dad's name?
It's Martin or Marty.
Of course it's Martin.
Marty.
Janet and Marty.
Marty.
Marty and Jenny.
No, that doesn't work, does it?
Janet and Marty.
Marty and Janet.
Janet and Marty.
It is.
Well, Heidi, unfortunately missing out on the bonus round,
but well done.
$100 for Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name.
Thank you.
Thanks, Vaughan.
Well done.
This is a crazy story, the likes of which I've never heard before.
So there was a married couple, happily married,
husband and wife from Ecuador.
Oh, yeah.
Ecuador.
Have you been?
I have, yeah.
I haven't, but I've heard the song.
He's been everywhere.
Yeah, I've eaten the bananas.
I've eaten the bananas.
I've heard the song.
What more do I need?
Yeah, you don't need to go.
You don't need to go.
That's basically it.
Home to the Galapagos Islands.
Oh, just gorgeous.
Are they in charge of those, are they?
Yeah, they are, yeah.
In charge?
Interesting.
Well, I guess a country has, somebody has to be in charge.
Galapagos can't elect a bloody tortoise as a prime minister, can it?
I think it comes under their territorial waters, yes.
That's what I meant.
Cool, okay, that answers that question.
There you go.
Anyway, this husband and wife from Ecuador.
Ecuador!
They are married.
And one day they were hanging out at their mother-in-law's house.
So the husband's mother.
Yeah.
And the mother-in-law said to the woman,
I'm going to show you something.
We'll just flick through some photo albums, you know.
What, trying to embarrass her son?
Yeah, of your husband.
Let's just have a little looky-do.
Flick, flick, flick, flick, flick through.
And then there was a photo of the husband
walking in a parade.
Oh, yeah.
And at the time, he was about nine years old, I believe.
So the photo was from 15 years ago.
He was nine at the time.
Yeah.
And he's looking at the camera like this
and he's in a big parade and the streets
are lined with people. And at the
front of the photo is this girl who's looking at the
camera. And then the wife is like,
oh my God, that's me.
What? That's crazy.
So she's like not even. You're the same age from the same
town. Oh wow. That's awesome.
That could totally happen. So yeah.
Yeah. But like she didn't know him.
It wasn't like they, like, kind of met.
They weren't at the same school.
No, no, no.
Nothing like that.
This is a big city that they're from.
Yeah.
And he's just, like, walking past and just in this little shot in the background.
She's like, that is me.
I went to that parade.
Those are my clothes.
That is me.
I've seen this a couple of times.
The internet loves these, as rightly so, because what are the chances?
But there was one in Disneyland
once where a boy was having a photo with
Mickey Mouse and the
wife was in the background.
Yeah. And she's like, that's me and I know
that because that's my favourite shirt and that's my
mum and dad. I always think about this when
I'm on holiday somewhere or somewhere where
people are taking photos and I'm in the back of
them like, that's going to be in their
treasured photo albums.
When I get in the back, I'm like, wait.
I always try to leave them a little Easter egg if they can see me.
Yeah.
But it's crazy.
And it just blew their minds that they were like,
we have in a kind of way met before we met.
And we want to ask this morning if this has ever happened to you.
Yeah.
Because these are amazing stories.
Yeah.
Were you ever in the same place at the same time as your now partner? ask this morning if this has ever happened to you. Yeah. Because these are amazing stories. Yeah.
Were you ever in the same place at the same time as your now partner?
Before. You didn't know it before you met.
Could I mean, could you have gone to a giant school?
Like I never went to a, like I think the most we had at Boys High was like 1100 or something.
Right.
But people that go to those schools with like 10,000 kids.
There's no schools with 10,000.
There is.
There's no kids.
There's no school with 10,000 kids. That one on the North Shore has like 100,000. That doesn with like 10,000 kids. There's no schools with 10,000. There is. There's no schools with 10,000 kids.
That one on the North Shore has like 100,000.
It's 100,000.
You're thinking of the entire North Shore.
You wouldn't know everyone there.
You'd go to school every day and see someone new.
Absolutely not at a 3,000 kid school that actually exists.
Not this fictional 10,000 child school that you are somewhat fascinated with.
My school had 800 students from new entrance to year 13.
Ooh.
Like, when you talk about your school,
you do get a certain plumb in your mouth.
Yeah, you just get a sort of one-on-one treatment.
Could you have gone to school with someone and not realised and then all of a sudden they're your partner 10 years later or something?
Well, me and Aaron kind of had this, in a way.
It was Aaron and I.
Aaron and I.
Sorry.
Obviously, you didn't get enough one-on-one time with the English teacher. Obviously, there was a thought on that day. I mean, and I. Aaron and I. Sorry. Obviously,
they didn't get enough
one-on-one time
with the English teacher.
I mean,
I don't know how good
England was at St. Margaret's.
Me and Aaron
had this
because I grew up
in Eastbourne as a kid.
I'd lived there my whole life
and all through high school
I still lived in Eastbourne
and I caught the bus
and Aaron is,
maybe this is a bit gross,
but Aaron is
eight years older than me
and so at the same time
as I was catching the bus from Eastbourne to high school.
He was driving the bus?
He wasn't driving the bus, but he, in his first year at drama school as a grown man,
temporarily lived in Eastbourne.
And he was like, yeah, I used to catch the bus.
So I was like a high school student, probably on the have been- Probably on the same bus heading into town.
Yeah, there would have been a high chance, right?
As 20-whatever-year-old Aaron.
Yeah, wow.
Do you know the biggest school in New Zealand?
What?
Correspondence School.
Oh, that doesn't count.
Get out.
Get out.
6,982 students.
Stots Correspondence.
Yeah, Stots Correspondence or Arangatoto.
3,284, not 10,000.
Oh, you have to go and muddy that one up, mate.
He said 100,000, didn't he?
Close.
This fool.
All right, so 0800DARZATM.
Give us a call now.
You can text as well, 9696.
When were you in the same place as your partner before getting together?
Talking about, this happened in South America.
A couple found out that actually met, kind of.
Well, not met.
She saw herself in the background,
the very background of a photo of her now husband.
They were within Kiwi.
Within Kiwi.
And now they are married.
Yeah, without knowing it.
So we want to know, has this ever happened to you here in little old,
and you know what, small, two degrees of separation New Zealand?
Absolutely.
Let's take some calls.
Do you know what would be terrible?
If you got married and then you saw yourself in the back of a family photo.
Yeah.
That probably should have come up.
Yeah.
Paige, now what happened?
This did happen to you?
Yes, this did happen to me.
Okay.
And so how did you discover that you'd already met or been near someone?
So it kind of happened, we were in Bahama Heart, we'd had a bit to drink,
and had gotten a photo together, and then gone through recently
and had a look at different photos that were on the Bahama Heart Facebook page,
and yeah, we were in a photo together.
And now you're together.
Yeah, yeah.
And so you have no recollection of,
was it a group photo or just you two?
No, so it was a group photo.
There's about five or six of us in the photo.
Wow.
And yeah, so we had no recollection
of actually getting that photo taken.
And then how much,
how far down the track did you actually meet romantically?
The photo would have been taken in 2014 or 2013.
Yeah.
And then we met in 2015, 16.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's so cool.
And you only just recently found out.
I love it.
That's so cool.
It was meant to be its face.
It was.
It was.
Paige, thanks for your call.
Craig, you discovered a photo of yourself as well.
Yes, sure did.
Okay.
My wife handed me her kindy graduation photo.
And there I was next to her picking my nose.
Wait.
You went to kindy together
and you didn't even know?
No, no idea. Well, not too many people can
remember every single child they were in kindy with.
Stacey, hi.
No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. I don't know
who I went to kindy with. You just assume it was
everyone you went to primary school with, right?
You can pick off a few names.
Yeah. A lot of Morrisville kids went all the way through,
so. Yeah. Wow. The best part was went all the way through, so. Yeah.
Wow.
The best part was her mum used to tell a story about, you know,
when you graduate kinder, you pick your little helpers for your birthday party.
And she was like, you know, Elizabeth, she picked four boys.
And there was, you know, this boy and that boy.
And there was a third boy.
I don't know who it was.
And, yeah, it turns out it was me.
It's you.
Wow.
So she got to carry the Play-Doh cake with macaroni stuck in the top.
She picked her husband out when she was like four.
And how many years between being four and meeting romantically?
About 30.
Wow.
Wow.
That's a great story.
I love it.
Oh, it's so nice.
Also, it's good to know that those two guys
she picked before you to help with the ceremony,
obviously it didn't work out with them.
Oh, she tried it.
Yeah, she tried her best for 30 years.
Amazing story, Craig.
Thank you for sharing us some more messages in.
Emily says, my now husband and I were in the same photo in the Outback bar the year before we met.
Oh, I see.
Like the Bahamahut photo.
It's all Hamilton, isn't it?
No, Bahamahut was Toto originally.
We did get out ofama heart in Hamilton for
a little bit. Yep.
Francis says, my brother has a half marathon
finish line photo with his now partner
photobombing it. Wow.
And didn't know. No, they didn't. Wow.
No idea. Never met each other. I bet they
didn't pay for the photo. I bet it's got a watermark
on it. Big watermark. Yeah, running sports
photos copyright. I did
swimming lessons with my now husband when
I was 10. I had no idea there was a photo
recently and he was in the back room.
Found a photo recently. Swimming
lessons at 10 that he's in. I mean, I guess if you're
in the same town or city,
it's not that
bizarre, is it? Yeah, if you don't leave,
like if you're still kind of within the same.
But to not know each other. Yeah.
And it's so weird, isn't it?
And Madeline says,
my sister's partner and her family
are in the background of our family photo
in the Gold Coast in 2001.
It's freaky.
Yeah, it is.
They're in the background,
probably went at the same time as you,
probably school holidays,
did all the touristy things,
guaranteed to cross paths.
Careful when you've got a photo with
the whole family like that, because if you go back to the
future and change anything,
they start fading. They start fading.
Maybe they disappear. And then when you come back,
they might not be there. Do you ever have
that thing where you're on holiday somewhere and you see
some person the first day at a tourist thing and then
you see them at the next day
and you're kind of,
you're like, ah, hey, how did you enjoy that?
Because you're seeing the same people all the time everywhere you go.
It's almost like they got the four-pass pack as well,
the park pass as well.
Well, you know, financially it makes sense.
They're clever.
They're clever in their budget conscience.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
I just want to say, someone did accuse us the other day of pre-recording Fact of the Day,
which is why I've been trying to chuck in some sort of different notes. Some ditties.
Yeah, just some little bits and bobs.
No, it's live every time, isn't it?
Yeah.
Just to spice things up a little bit.
Yeah, just sort of chucking in some top notes in there.
Carl Wayne sent me today's fact of the day
and said, have you ever seen this fact?
She used to stay in her lane.
Sorry.
Sorry, you know you carry on.
I appreciate it.
A knee-jerk reaction.
This actually originally came from a subreddit called They Did The Math.
And the user who did the math was Kiwi2703.
Now, I don't know if that means it's a New Zealander who did this
or someone who just loves kiwi fruit.
Yeah, could be that.
Because around the world, they're not overly familiar with the bird.
No.
They just say they eat kiwi.
And we're like, no, no, no, no.
You don't eat kiwi in New Zealand.
And they're like, what?
It's named after you.
Well, you certainly don't unless you can do it in secret.
Yeah, or at one of those restaurants, you know,
that do the kiwi special.
No?
I'll take it.
I'm joking.
Of course you don't.
The Illuminati.
I know Chef Peter Gordon.
He'll whip you up a beautiful kiwi.
And that's when Peter stopped being friends with Hayley.
He's professionally distancing himself.
Well, Kiwi2703 did the math of the human meatball.
The human meatball?
The human meatball.
If you blended up all 7.88 billion humans on Earth
into a fine goo a la a meatball,
and did you know this?
At the social media, this is
grim. It's grim, but it's very interesting.
Human density, so
human density, like to compare
it to water, one cubic metre
of water is one tonne of water.
You know that? Like one litre of water is one kg
of water. One mil of water
is one gram. Like that's mil of water is one gram.
Yeah.
Like that's an easy way to compare it.
So our density, the human density, is 985 kilograms per cubic metre.
So we're a little bit under.
Okay.
We're a little bit underwater.
The average human body mass is 62 kgs.
So they did the maths and said-
The average human body mass is 62 kgs.
62 kgs, yeah.
No.
Not since I was like 19.
No, I know.
I'm well over as well.
I'm like one and a half human body masses.
And I don't want to talk about it.
Is that counting babies and children?
They're going in the blender as well?
Everybody's going in the blender.
Okay.
This is so grim.
Everybody's going in the blender.
America's fattest to, you know, America's skinniest.
Okay.
Everybody's in the blender.
Blend us up.
Turn us into a meatball.
Okay.
And that meatball would be just under one kilometre wide.
Everybody.
Okay, that's interesting.
And it would sit in Central Park and not touch the sides.
It would be one kilometre tall, a spherical one,
and one kilometre wide, one kilometre sphere.
That's all the humans.
Wait, is that because, you know, when you cook meat, it shrinks?
Have we been cooked?
We haven't been cooked.
Or is this pre-cooked?
Are we raw?
Some of us are breadcrumbs.
Yeah, we're raw.
We haven't been cooked because we'd lose some of our weight in the cook.
You're telling me it would only be a
kilometre? That's not right.
It's crazy, right? There are so
many people. So I said to Karlyn,
that's very, very grim. And then I said, have you
ever heard about if you piled up every
human ever and put us in the Grand Canyon?
And she said, I haven't.
And then I did some googling and I found the photo of
if you piled up every human that's ever
existed in the Grand Canyon.
Someone did the maths on this.
This is really tickling you.
Shock, I'm not on the bottom.
That's what Carwin was like.
Where would you rather be?
I said, well, are we going in alive or dead?
Because who wants, no one wants to.
You're crushed.
The only correct answer is the absolute outside.
But that wasn't even filling up the Grand Canyon, was it?
Absolutely not.
No. We're not that many. Not even touching the sides filling up the Grand Canyon, Absolutely not. No.
We're not that many.
Not even touching the sides.
That's like 108 billion humans in that pile.
We're a tiny meatball.
We are so insignificant.
We are tiny meatball.
Wow.
This is really...
This is just sort of a weird picture.
I know, but I love when... Because everybody knows what a meatball's like,
it's taking something so out of scale to think of every,
to even comprehend 7.8 billion humans.
Blows my mind.
Sometimes I get a bit lost in traffic and I'm like,
every one of these people in this car has a life and they're going somewhere
and they do something.
Memories, something. Dreams.
Yeah.
They believe in things.
They've got a name.
They've got characters
in my life.
That's just a tiny portion
of who you see.
So imagine that
it's 7.8 billion.
Now imagine us
all in a blender
being like,
this doesn't feel good.
I don't know about you guys.
Oh my gosh.
I don't have a good
feeling about it.
Are we nude? Are we nude?
Are we nude?
Yeah, yeah.
We've got to take our clothes off.
We've got to take our clothes off.
Jewellery off.
Get your jewellery.
Get my wire off the back of my teeth.
Yeah.
Relax.
Yeah, yeah.
Take all that off
and then get blued up into a meatball
and then that meatball
would be one kilometre wide.
And if you're like,
that's really gross
and I'm disgusted by this,
it's also never going to happen.
It's just... We don't know.
The way science is moving.
...comprehending the scale of something into a manner we all understand
because we all know what a meatball looks like.
So today's fact of the day, if you...
Thanks to Kiwi2703 on Reddit who did the math.
If you put every human into a mincer and minced us all up, made us into a meatball,
it would be just less than one kilometre spherically.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Listen to how legit this is.
A series of three studies were published in Evolutionary Psychological Science.
Three studies I am citing for this article,
which is going to give us the most desired and the most undesired personality traits we look at for friends.
Okay.
They did these studies.
They got a whole bunch of people from across the universe.
Yeah.
Asking them.
Yep.
They asked people on Mars.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah.
Not a great response there.
No. About what traits they value in friendship.
Okay.
And what traits repel them from making friends with people.
Okay.
They summed it all up, identified 50 positive traits and 50 negative traits that were the
most common themes.
Any of them a boat or a batch?
No, no, no.
Personality.
Oh, right.
It's like a love island. Blonde isn't a person, isn or a batch? No, no, no. Personality. Oh, right. It's like a love island.
Blonde isn't a person, isn't a type.
No.
Anyway, so I'm not going to give you all 50 good and all 50 bad.
Yeah.
Because are we a little tight on time?
Little.
Are we not enough to do 100 traits?
I reckon we can do 100.
Okay.
Well, these are in order of importance.
Okay.
They are desirable traits.
Wait, are you working towards the most important?
I can do if you want.
I mean, come on.
Okay.
What, has she never worked on radio before?
You work from, you work towards the most important.
You work up to the headliner.
Yeah, otherwise people won't stick around
if you give them the sausage first.
Okay.
No one's hanging around for the Wellington Covers band
if the Foo Fighters have played, you know?
Okay, yeah, all right.
So heading towards the most important,
alike, like alike to yourself.
Okay, yeah.
Didn't know that was a personality trait.
Yeah.
Oh, she's so alike.
Maybe she has like similar political values.
All that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Smart, fun, then
empathetic, tolerant,
discreet, available
is up there. Okay.
And then the top three,
pleasant.
You want someone to be pleasant? I don't think I'm pleasant.
These are all, these are ringing true for me.
I think I'm abrasive. You're very pleasant. Are these ringing true for me?
All of these? No.
Some of them?
I'd say you are available.
I'm not available. I would say he's very discreet.
Well, he has to be in his line of work.
I'm very available.
Do they mean like I'm free for drinking?
Yeah, like available.
Available to be friends.
You've got availability.
Top three are pleasant, ethical.
You know, we don't want to be hanging out with people with problematic views.
But then people with problematic views hang hanging out with people with problematic views. But then people do, people
with problematic views hang out with other people with problematic
views because in their ethical
diorama, it's not problematic.
Later in this study, the
discrepancies are when that person
has that trait, basically. Yeah, right.
So you're going like, I have this crazy
point of view, you share it with your friends. So what did
the study find the least desirable trait?
No, number one. We haven't had number one.
I'm trying to do the headliner thing.
I'm getting a lesson here.
Drum roll, please.
This is good from you.
The most desirable trait.
Honesty.
Oh yeah, that goes without saying, right?
Goes without saying, but I said it anyway.
Okay, so the least desirable,
I have less of them.
Starting from the back, I'll just give you. Okay, so the least desirable, I have less of them.
Starting from the back.
I'll just give you the top three.
Impatient, competitive and dishonest.
Fletch.
I wouldn't say dishonest, but I'm
definitely impatient.
And competitive.
You're also honest, ethical and pleasant.
So I think we've balanced you out.
And available for drink, because we go drinks.
Yeah.
Drinks this weekend.
And in general, when they were rating friends,
they were talking about specific friends,
women ranked higher in these traits.
Than men.
So I'm more pleasant, honest, and ethical,
and discreet, and tolerant than you guys.
So we tell everybody what you were just saying off-air about people?
Don't do that.

Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly.
That silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.
This poll is so silly and little.
Have you ever rekindled with an X?
Which way do you think this is going to go without looking?
I'm going to say 40, 60.
Yeah, I reckon a 40, 60.
Very, very close.
36% of people said yes, they have.
60% said absolutely no way.
Yeah. Get out of my life, Darren.
And then those like 30-something percent,
like they regret it and they realise why they broke up in the first place.
Yeah, I would like to know of that 30%,
how many continued with any sort of healthy relationship?
This was a real teenage thing to do.
I dated two of my teenage boyfriends twice.
Did you go, let's call them
one and two. Let's just call them Ben and Kelly.
Okay, did you go Ben, Kelly, Ben,
Kelly? No, no, no. I went Ben
and then Ben
and then
not, if people know me, it's not
that Ben, not the one I was with for ages, the earlier Ben.
The first Ben.
Ben and then a little, and then away, and then back to Ben.
How long was the gap between Bens?
The same Ben.
The same Ben, because it was the Ben afterwards.
It was with for a long time.
Yeah.
That's not the Ben I'm talking about.
Maybe like five or six months.
Okay.
And then post long-term Ben.
Ben.
So after the second Ben, Callie, maybe like a year.
And then more Callie?
And then I dipped back into Callie.
And then Ben again?
And actually, as adults, we had another little foray.
Yeah, right.
Maybe Callie and I were meant to be.
Well, it's too late now.
This is just landing.
What I find is if you look up someone you thought you were probably meant to be at high school now,
yeah, no.
But some messages in.
Tessa says, we were together in high school for a Yeah, no. But some messages in.
Tessa says,
we were together in high school for a while,
broke up when he left the country
and when we met up again
we got back together.
One house and two kids later
here we are.
Oh, wow.
So that's,
yeah, that sounds like
he left the country, right?
He was going to go on the OE,
set her free.
Yeah.
If you love something,
set her free.
If it comes back,
it's meant to be.
Yeah.
That's beautiful. Or, you know, you'll always wonder If it comes back, it's meant to be. Yeah. That's beautiful.
Or, you know, you'll always wonder how many
hot chicks they slept with when they were in Europe.
And you definitely won't bring it up.
No, not get drunk and then like throw it in their face.
Tara says, yes,
high school sweetheart met up
and married 21 years later.
Oh, wow. 21
years later. Wow.
But you've lived a lifetime in that gap between being with each other.
Naomi says, left him and New Zealand on my OE because he didn't want to travel.
Six months later, we arrived in the UK.
We caught up as friends initially, but now 19 years later, we're 15 years married and have two kids.
Wow, that's nice.
Who doesn't want to travel?
He might have had a job.
He might have had like a career path.
But then when she left, you know,
it meant nothing.
If it's meant to be,
it'll be, it'll be.
Baby, when it's meant to be.
Ashley
Elizabeth said, thought it'd be
different this time. Spoiler
alert. It wasn't? It wasn't.
He was still a dick?
Jessica says, yes, I've done it, but no, I don't alert. It wasn't. It wasn't. He was still a dick. Jessica
says, yes, I've done it, but no,
I don't recommend it. Yeah.
These are the other end of these stories. We're getting all the lovely
stories, aren't we? Yeah, we had all the good ones
now the bad ones. There are an X for a reason
and sometimes that reason is an example
of a very poor decision.
Got a philosopher on our hands there.
Oh my God. Got a real philosopher.
So there you go. More people are saying no, they wouldn't.
And even the people that did, a few of them are saying it was not a good idea.
I thought the show was pretty good, but the Fact of the Day jingle, guys, a bit pitchy.
Tomorrow, eh?
Oh, my God.
Would you just leave it with your private high school and music training?
You were the pitchiest.
Give us a sexy little review, though.
