Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts

They'll just give you a little Vaughan in a cup. It's pretty cute. For those international listeners that may not celebrate the Queen's birthday on Monday, there'll be no podcast on Monday because we'll be away.
Starting point is 00:01:15 But Tuesday, resuming normal programming and scheduling. Yeah. Do they have to get on board with the Queen? I think it's a little bit too late to be promoting colonising. And the Commonwealth. I think it's had its day. I think it's had its day. Some people have their reasons not to follow the Queen.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I understand. I think more countries should get out of the Commonwealth so we do better at the Commonwealth Games. Oh, yeah. So your idea is what? We're one of the last countries in the Commonwealth and then we're going to up our medals. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Good idea, actually, that. Yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah it's just that's my little plan for how to get us more medals at the Commonwealth Games is to completely dismantle the Commonwealth. Great idea. I'll do whatever it takes. What are you guys gonna do to celebrate Queen's birthday because Vaughn usually you'd be outside doing some yard work on a long weekend. I know I'll be inside playing um Lego Star Wars that's my... Is that your game at the moment? Well, yeah. It's nice and simple.
Starting point is 00:02:08 And I see what people mean about when you've got COVID, how your mind wanders. Mine's bad enough at the best of times with a little bit of distraction. But the mind wanders. So this one I can just like pause and walk away from for 20 minutes and then remember I was playing something and go back and keep going. What do they call it? COVID brain.
Starting point is 00:02:24 You just have a little blank. Fog brain. Yeah, COVID fog. Okay, nice. And are you working? You're doing the baking all weekend? Doing the baking all weekend, yeah. Goodness me.

Starting point is 00:03:13 I just gotta loosen this oh my god that's awful I'm so sorry to the listeners I get so this is why I get grumpy at Vaughn for his mic technique constantly
Starting point is 00:03:22 manhandling the mic these seem to be very sensitive. They are very sensitive. I'm starting to think that this broadcasting school you guys went to is an absolute waste of time. Well, Vaughan went to a polytech. He'll say it was a university, but it was actually a polytech.
Starting point is 00:03:35 I've distanced myself. There's been controversy. There's been some allegations. Not against me, not against me. No, but against the school. You've distanced yourself. Yeah, I've distanced myself. Professionally against me No but against the school You've distanced yourself Yeah yeah yeah I've distanced myself
Starting point is 00:03:46 Professionally I'm completely self-taught Yeah That's my terrible Microphone technique I was going to say Are you doing a special Queen's birthday

Starting point is 00:04:17 Welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley It's two minutes past six Vaughan's back with us this morning Good morning How are you feeling Vaughan's back with us this morning. Good morning. How are you feeling, Vaughan-y? I am. Oh.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Not too, not. Look, I've been better and I've been worse. Yesterday I was worse. Tomorrow hopefully I'll be better. Listen to that gravelly voice. Yeah, I know. I've got to get some voice work while I've got this. Yes, we need to do like a barbershop quartet or something
Starting point is 00:04:44 and you can be the bass. I was thinking more like, you know, for a massive multinational corporation. Oh, like get your gear at Moda 10 this weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if you know this, Hayley, but Vaughan was actually a Garage Door voiceover until he was dropped.
Starting point is 00:05:03 For Garage Door, Yes. Give me your spiel. Steve who likes to keep his Corvette nice and safe. Garador. I can't remember. I think it's that hard, fast attitude to voice in commercials that saw Vaughan getting dropped.
Starting point is 00:05:19 It cost me the job. God damn it. Alright, big show today. Huge show. It's back. The right. Big show today. Huge show. It's back. The Long Weekend Group Tweet ahead of Queen's birthday on Monday. So 8 o'clock. Join us from your car with the horn at the ready. We've got free fuel as well with our retro petrol time machine at 8 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Erin Moriarty joins us this morning from The Boys. Yeah, the first three episodes of season three of The Boys are out tonight, I think. On Prime Video. One of my favourite shows. It's so good. I feel like if this show was on another bigger streaming provider it would be huge, right? How is this not the biggest show in the world?
Starting point is 00:05:59 It's so good. It's so unexpected. When I first started watching it, I was like, I know what this is. And then suddenly I was like, what's happening? This has gone a bit weird. I think it's R18, right? Like, it's quite dark. Dude, it should be R25.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I don't think you should be allowed to watch The Boys unless you can hire a car, you know? Like, it's insane. It is so good. So, Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight, joins us after 8.30 this morning on the show. Next on the show, a fish and chip shop. You know, how do you break through in the fish and chip market? A flooded market, especially in Britain, the home of the fish and chip. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:40 They're everywhere. This one has gone viral online and people are coming from far and wide to get fish and chips. How'd they do it? I'll tell you next. Well, no one will know better than us. Excuse me. No one will know better than us the power of a jingle. All of our favourite radio commercials that, you know, people say,
Starting point is 00:07:04 do you listen to the ads when you're working on radio? And you say, oh, you crank the jingles. Oh, absolutely. You crank up the St. Pierre's. You crank up the St. Pierre's. Do you remember the first time I ever heard that? And I was aghast. I was like, what's happening?
Starting point is 00:07:20 What's playing? I was aghast more at the fact that even though you hadn't worked in radio, you still hadn't heard the St. Pierre's sushi jingle. Is that just in Auckland, by the way? Is that something that the nation? I think it's nationwide. They're all over the place. I don't think there's a St. Pierre's in Dunedin.
Starting point is 00:07:37 But what if I said to you there is nothing like a crown? For picking it up and putting it down. Yeah, jingles. They're Yeah, jingles. They're powerful radio jingles. Well, it is a jingle that has absolutely set ablaze the Binley Mega Chippy in Coventry in Britain. This is a fish and chip shop. It is.
Starting point is 00:07:59 And it's gone. It's hit TikTok. It's gone crazy. And people have literally, they've recorded people traveling for like hundreds of miles across Britain just to get fish and chips at the place that has the jingle. Did I hear people have come from America as well?
Starting point is 00:08:15 There were Americans. I think there were Americans who were in Britain because they saw it on TikTok, but I don't think it was their primary purpose for travel. Do they have any evidence that their fish and chips is any good, or is it just that their jingle rolls?
Starting point is 00:08:28 There is a video, because there's been news reports, and the fish was massive. It did look good. It looked amazing. Now, I've sourced the jingle. Should we have a listen? This is the jingle. This is the other thing. You're probably expecting, if it's drawing people in from hundreds of miles away, this is going to be some
Starting point is 00:08:43 groundbreaking jingle. it's not it's not St. Pierre's I'll tell you that it's shit house have a listen Bentley mega chippy Bentley mega chippy Bentley mega chippy
Starting point is 00:08:57 Bentley mega chippy would you like some DP with those Bentley chippies Sapphire always repeat Bentley, my good chippie It keeps going. Yeah, it keeps going. But isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 00:09:16 Get away. How is this going crazy? They didn't even write a melody. No, for He's a Jolly Good Fellow is the melody, right? Yes. Which would be public domain now, so they could totally use it. Yeah. But people are lapping it up.
Starting point is 00:09:30 They didn't put Chuck in any harmonies? Finley, make it chippy. Finley, make it chippy. Look, I don't think it has to be perfect. It's obviously working. They have had to order in extra fries. He's missing that note. Da-da-da-da-da-da. Oh. They have had to order in extra fries. He's missing that note.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Wow. Well, you know what? It's working because they have businesses booming, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. They're saying, well, yeah, there's lines and everything. They just hope it lasts for summer. But, I mean, yeah, it's got nothing on some classic Kiwi jingles. So this TikTok generation thinking they invented bloody jingles. You know, us old-timers.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Well, St. Pierre's need to get on TikTok. They do. St. Pierre's needs to. ASAP. I still stand by the fact that the greatest jingle of all time was Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate. It's the best. Yeah, it worked, didn't it?
Starting point is 00:10:28 It's so stupid. McDonald's Make It Click was like legendary, though. You don't even think of that as a jingle because it's so synonymous with getting in a car and putting on your seatbelt. And that was. That was an advertising jingle. Oh, yeah, of course it was.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Coming up. Yeah. So good. Gets yeah. Coming up. Yeah. So good. Gets in your mind, doesn't it? Play ZM's Fletch,
Starting point is 00:10:51 Vaughn and Hayley. Well, back in the day, back in the good old days of 2019. Or before. And prior. I think when people were dating, we were sort of fluffing around a bit, feeling out, feeling things out, testing the waters and maybe hanging on to things a little longer than they needed to be, returning to an ex for a comforting hug.
Starting point is 00:11:14 A comforting adult hug. Yeah, very comforting. But of course, since coronavirus hit, we've changed. We've totally changed the way that we're dating. And, of course, divorce rates went up, skyrocketed after pandemics. People locked inside with their significant others and went, oh, I hate you. Let's split.
Starting point is 00:11:40 They called it the great resignation because so many couples were getting divorced or splitting up after being locked up. The Great Home Resignation. Yeah, exactly. Well, they're putting a term on it because, God, we love a dating term, don't we? Yeah, well, radio sessions lap them up, don't they? Have you heard them?
Starting point is 00:11:56 Radio sessions always talk about these terms. Oh, we harp on about it, don't we? Yum, yum, yum. Have you ever heard of for chopping and caranding? Well, this one is called coronasty. Pretty straightforward. It's the fact that coronavirus has caused us to be more honest in our relationships, be they long or short.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Right. Coronasty describes the increased desire for people to be honest with others and crucially themselves about what they really want from a relationship. So whether that's looking at your own, you know, 10-year marriage and deciding, I can't spend another second with you, please leave. Or whether it's getting into a new relationship now, realising we're making up for lost time. Three years has passed. I'm going to be honest, straight out the gate with what I want.
Starting point is 00:12:46 So what, engagements after like three months rather than three years? Yeah, absolutely. We've talked before as well about like, you know, going on a first date and like both of, what was it called? There was a term where you were like, you come out and then you just like say, I'll have babies in five years. Yeah. You're just very blunt.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I forget the term but yeah you just put all your cards on the table. It was called Emily Blunting. Emily Blunting. Yeah. She takes no nonsense you know. Yeah. Edge of tomorrow. She just gets what she wants. I mean she wanted John Krasinski right? She was like he's hot now I'll get John Krasinski
Starting point is 00:13:22 and she Emily Blunted. She got him. God he is hot eh? He'll get John Krasinski. And she really blunted. She got him. God, he is hot, eh? He is hot. Yeah, when you look back. You look back at The Office, you're like, I mean, a cute little office dweeb. Yeah. It was the same even in the original Office. Martin Freeman, his character, he kind of got hot.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Different sort of hot. British hot. Different hot. British hot. British hot. Pommy hot. British hot. Also, is he quite petite?
Starting point is 00:13:46 Like short Yeah Martin's got Quite petite energy Yeah yeah But like nice Polite Colin Firth British hot
Starting point is 00:13:54 You know Yeah Whereas I feel like John Krasinski Could hold my whole Oh my gosh Tush in one hand Yeah John
Starting point is 00:14:01 John Krasinski Would I mean I don't want to Cast aspersions, but it's purely complimentary. I think he'd make love like an absolute Adonis. Yeah. And that's in my mind anyway, right now. Yeah, good on you. Right now I'm imagining John Krasinski
Starting point is 00:14:14 making love. To you. So am I. I'm imagining it at the same time. I'm just watching. You're just watching? You're just watching. Okay, great. You're watching. Who's he making love to? Sade? If he wants. Wow. I mean, for her sake. Is that hot? You don't want Who's he making love to? Sade? If he wants. Wow. I mean, for her sake.
Starting point is 00:14:29 You don't want to die not knowing what John Krasinski was like if you got the opportunity, you know? This is true. Why die wondering? Why die wondering? All right, well. That's another thing about Corona, you know? Life's too short. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Why die wondering? That's the thing. I've just been sitting inside going, oh, I'm going to die soon. I'm going to die soon. I'm just going to live my life. Why die wondering when it's John Krasinski? Yeah, maybe you should talk to Sade with some of this coronacy tonight.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I'll lead in with the fact she's allowed to sleep with John Krasinski. I'll follow a sort of a suffix to it that obviously then I will need to sleep with Emily Blunt. I think it's just a trade-off for swinging. Maybe just leave your hall passes. Swinging with the Krasinski Blunts. Maybe just leave your hall passes. Swing with the Krasinski blunts. Maybe just leave your hall pass chat for a private time. Next on the show, the top six and Elvis weddings are no more in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yes, the top six other characters that can marry you in Vegas. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM. From the panoramic ZM think tank,ch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM from the Panoramic ZM Think Tank. This is the top six. Hello there. Well, I've just Googled Elvis weddings in Vegas. I can tell you there's the Viva La Vegas Wedding Chapel.
Starting point is 00:15:37 That's in Elvis Chapel. I'm actually now looking at a map of Las Vegas, and there are lots of little red pin drops saying you can get married by Elvis here. Well, not for much longer. Aww. The Elvis estate has said that unless you're officially licensed and pay a small darn
Starting point is 00:15:56 fortune, you won't be married by an Elvis impersonator. When did the Elvis wedding sort of kick off? What started it? Yeah. I don't know. Did it start when he was at his height of fame?
Starting point is 00:16:11 I don't know if it started when he was alive or after he died. Maybe he was a marriage celebrant. You know how everybody's a marriage celebrant nowadays? I'm a marriage celebrant. Exactly. So maybe Elvis was leading the charge on that, and he was the guy that was the celebrity marriage celebrant. I mean, the idea of flying to Vegas and getting married,
Starting point is 00:16:33 like eloping in Vegas, started as early as 1912. It was a thing. I mean, obviously not Elvis at that point. Yeah. But that was the place where you go. Wow. Yeah. But, you know, like that was a place where you go. Wow. Okay. Because there was only
Starting point is 00:16:47 a short wait list on marriage licenses, whereas like Los Angeles or whatever was like days. But you could go to Las Vegas and get one quickly. So you could just go
Starting point is 00:16:58 and get it done in the same day. Yeah. So, you know, your parents couldn't stop you sort of thing. Yeah. Well, the licensing company that controls Elvis' likeness
Starting point is 00:17:07 also controls Muhammad Ali and Marilyn Monroe's. Oh, they're after some cash. You will not be a guy called Kent who's been doing it for 25 years. He said, I've never run into any problems. They want to protect the Elvis brand, but what are they taking away? What are they protected by taking Elvis away from his beloved public? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:29 So just a quick Google, Elvis visited a wedding chapel in Vegas and married. Somebody, or he got married. So he visited the chapel for a look around. Later that year, him and Priscilla got married in Vegas at the Aladdin Hotel. And then following his death, the owners changed its name
Starting point is 00:17:48 to the Graceland Wedding Chapel. And so it was born, the first wedding chapel in Vegas dedicated to Elvis. Gotcha, gotcha. And then that's why people do it now
Starting point is 00:17:57 because he got married there and it's a thing. That Elvis movie must be due out soon. Yeah, which is getting really good reviews. Looks pretty good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:05 So if you can't get married by Elvis, I've got the top six celebrities that could marry you in Vegas. Okay. Number six on the list. Nothing says happy day of nuptials like being married by Sonic the Hedgehog. People would. I would get married by Sonic the Hedgehog. You would.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Sade would not let you, but you would. Sonic was my childhood, man. I loved Sonic growing up. It was the game we played the most. I imagine this list is everyone Vaughn wants to get married by. Yeah, absolutely. No, no, no, no, no. Just this one. Just this one was my big one. So, would it have to
Starting point is 00:18:39 be, like, kids or, like, really short people playing Sonic? Oh, no, full-blown mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. Do people get married at Disneyland or did you see anyone at Star Wars? I didn't tell you guys. I like walked through somebody's proposal
Starting point is 00:18:55 in the cars part of Disneyland. You know, like Lightning McQueen and stuff. What do you mean you walked through it? Did you walk in between them? I was busting to go to the toilet and there was this like T intersection and I was walked through it? Did you walk in between them? I was busting to go to the toilet. And there was this like T intersection. And I was charging through it. And as I entered the T intersection, he went down. Because she didn't know, but all of his friends knew.
Starting point is 00:19:12 So they all stepped back. And then he went down on one knee. And I'm just like, oh, congratulations. Pyram just powering through. Some ignorant kiwi needing to puss his way past. Oh, really? Just ready busting to go wh his ring past ruining his proposal. Just really busting to go wheeze.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Congratulations. Sorry, love is alive. And, but apparently people get proposed to all the time. Oh yeah, I bet they do.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Okay. Yeah. And Sonic the Hedgehog collected gold rings, guys, in the game. So it makes sense that he's giving you the rings.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah. You know, there's something to do with rings. Number five on the list of the top six celebs to marry you in Vegas, the Queen. It's her golden jubilee.
Starting point is 00:19:49 I think we've all got a claim to the Queen and we're allowed to use her likeness. Is anyone going to stop us doing that? No, she's public property. Yeah, she's all over the money and everything. So why shouldn't she be able to marry people? Number four on the list of the top six celebrities to marry you in Vegas,
Starting point is 00:20:06 Ronald McDonald. Why not? Oh, God. I mean, they do kids' birthdays, don't they? What's a wedding? Exactly, kids' birthdays. I'm pretty sure you can have a funeral, a wake, if you know, give them enough advance in the morning. A McDonald's wake.
Starting point is 00:20:20 A Big Mac is just a round club sandwich. I do find quite a lot of solace in a quarter pounder, not going to lie. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a comfort food. Nuggies will certainly take your mind off. A dead parent, yeah. McDonald's in Hong Kong does weddings.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Do they? Yeah. Yeah. Like a big party. Do they call it a McWedding? I mean, they're missing a trick, if not, right? McWedding. Absolutely, it's a Mick wedding.
Starting point is 00:20:45 The McNuptials. Will you Mick marry me? Yes. Number three on the list of the top six celebs to marry you in Vegas are Rodney Ratt, who looks 80% like Mickey Mouse, but 20% different enough to be enough for a copyright dodge. Oh, right, okay. I see what you've done there.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Hang on, I'm having a look at Rodney Ratt. Ooh. I just Googled Rodney Ratt. No, it, okay. I see what you've done there. Hang on, I'm having a look at Rodney Ratt. Ooh. I just Googled Rodney Ratt. No, it's terrifying. Rodney Ratt. I just completely made that up. Yeah, I know, but if you Google it, it's horrendous. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I'm going to Google Rodney Ratt now. Ah, I remember this guy. He's like a Wallace and Gromit dude. He looks a bit like Wallace and Gromit. Okay. Number two on the list of the top six celebs to marry you in Vegas, a lightsaber. I doubt you're going to get Darth Vader.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Disney will be on you like a bloody white on rice if you try to do Darth Vader, but a lightsaber might take them a little bit longer to track down a laser sword. So is it just like a really tall, skinny person in a bright red tube? Yes. Yes. tube? Yes. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Yes. And number one on the list of the top six celebs to marry you in Vegas. I can't see a single person having a problem with the copyright infringement on Hitler marrying you
Starting point is 00:21:56 in Vegas. Who's going to come at you and be like, actually we're in charge of Hitler's image and estate and we're not happy with him marrying me.
Starting point is 00:22:04 You joke, but there would be people that would do that, sadly. Absolutely. At least then we'd get them all in one room and shut the doors behind them and be like, it was a trap. You're in prison now. You're absolutely in prison. That is today's top six.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Play ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Hayley. Now, I've lost my mind somewhat. I don't know what's happening. Okay, so this is about androids, of which I am not. Androids? Yeah. Android phones, I mean. Oh, okay, right.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I was like, you've piqued my interest there. Did you see how I sat bolt upright in my chair? Are we talking about like robot human androids? No, no, no. Android phone users. All right, you've lost me. I'm slumping to maturity. You're slumping again.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I do believe this would relate to all phone users. Okay. So there's been some research done looking at how often we are using our phones post-2019. Oh, God. Do we want to hear this? I'm really hitting with the bad news this morning. So on average, and this was done all around the world, people are spending a solid 4.8 hours browsing apps on their phone, which is roughly a third of the time that we are awake,
Starting point is 00:23:19 that we are living, that we are existing in the world. 15, 15, yeah. How do you get your screen time again on the iPhone? Scroll down, scroll up, scroll up. No, that's my app, scroll side. Listen, Boomer, go settings
Starting point is 00:23:37 and then on the default when you open up settings at the bottom under focus it should say screen time. Focus? No. Oh yeah, there's focus. Under focus. when you open up settings at the bottom under focus, it should say screen time. Focus? No? Oh, yeah, there's focus. Under focus. No, it's not there.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Screen time. Oh. Is it not good? Oh. To be fair, though, you do have a lot of downtime on the cooking show at the moment, the great baking cookies. Bake off.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yes. But this is down 12% from last week. Okay, I don't want to go first. Vaughan? Well, I still can't find mine. God damn it, Mum. Oh, no, there it is. Settings and...
Starting point is 00:24:14 No, I can't. It doesn't work. I mean, does this include Spotify time, you know, or like Google Maps time, Netflix time? It would do. I wonder when you plug it in your car if it still counts. Yeah, because I've got it on in my car all the time. Is it iHeartRadio time?
Starting point is 00:24:32 Because I'm spending hours on there. Oh, my God. That's where I spend the majority of my day on iHeartRadio. Okay, I'm going to say it. Just scrolling endless content. Endless. Four hours, five minutes is my daily. Four hours, five minutes is my daily. Four hours,
Starting point is 00:24:46 five minutes. Vaughn's? Four hours, 47 minutes. Oh, I'm four hours, 37. Okay, so we all... It just went up to four hours, 48. Yeah, mine refreshed as well and went up a little bit. But I'm down 14%. Yeah, I'm down 13%.
Starting point is 00:25:03 We're sitting around this average of 4.8 hours. It's not good, is it? It's not good. A third of our life. And life is short, guys. Look up, guys. Do you remember that viral video from a few? Look up at the world.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I'm looking out the window now. I can see some stars, some clouds. Let's make an effort. You've got a notification on your phone. I just heard it buzz. Yeah. So you're back to your phone. Just like that's how easy it is.
Starting point is 00:25:30 It's my mum. She's in Italy. She's sharing photos. So apparently what we're spending most of our time, 70% of our time, you've got it. Social media is where we're endlessly scrolling. What do they call it? Doom scrolling where you're just like,
Starting point is 00:25:45 just searching through. Looking at photos, video apps, streaming devices. Do you know what I've just found under string time? What? Because we've got a family, because the girls have got iPads. Yeah. And I can see, because we've got a family thing,
Starting point is 00:26:04 so they can download apps or whatever. It all has to be approved by me because I'm the patriarchy. Right. I can turn on their screen time. I can see how many hours of that, and I can limit their screen time. So will their iPad just stop working after like four hours or something? Yeah, I can put it so their devices will not work between certain hours. Oh, that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Add limit. Because there's app limits and you can add an app. Like for me, maybe it would be an Instagram. And you can add a limit and then say, once I've reached my quota for the day, I can't open Instagram anymore. That's a good idea. Give yourself like a TikTok limit. Yeah, but I'm smart enough to be able to then just go into settings again
Starting point is 00:26:43 and turn off the limit and then go back to Instagram. You need Aaron to do it. It makes you think. Even if you're just thinking about it, you know, maybe you won't do it. Maybe I do need a cut back. Hey, we do have a message in the group chat about Carween's screen. I was about to say Carween's the one that always makes you feel better about how much screen time you've got, because hers is
Starting point is 00:27:05 always way more. But she'll follow this up, Hayley, with, but it's my job to be on the internet. Carween! I'm just going to stop posting on our social media then. What is your screen time at the moment? Okay, this week I have been sick. Yep, you got a stomach bug, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:27:22 Um, seven hours thirty. That's better though, I remember in the height of the pandemic, you were up eight and a half hours. I sure was. So I've gone down, guys. Congrats. Thank you, thank you. Look down. Amazing. Oh, did you say I went down or look
Starting point is 00:27:37 down? Because look down is your version of look up. No, no, it's gone down, it's gone down. Karma's like, look down and enjoy the world via TikTok. Today's Silly Little Pole, taking home the mini toiletries from a hotel. Do you do it? You did this when you were staying at Disneyland the other day, at the Hilton Bourne. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:28:14 What did they have? Was it like all Disney kind of themed stuff? Oh, no, no, no, because it was at the Hilton, which is just outside of Disneyland. But no, it wasn't Disney themed stuff. But I've stayed in a Disneyland resort before and yeah, they had little Mickey Mouse emblems on them. So I took them. I always take them because you just leave them in your gym bag in case there's nothing at the gym.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Everybody takes them. I mean, this poll result, it's a astounding steal from hotels. 81% of people take the mini toiletries home from a hotel. I remember there was talk about how bad this is for the environment though, right? Like how hotels should be shifting to wall-mounted. A lot of hotels have started that, I've noticed. Like the wall.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Why are you screwing your face up, Hayley? Because anything wall-mounted is always going to be such a rubbish product. No, but they can be nice. You know, like they might get a nice bottle and they get a nice holder or they leave the bottle itself on the shower shelf and say, if you take this, you're charged. I've been to the ones now that you get a little bit of shampoo
Starting point is 00:29:22 and conditioner in a brown sort of paper bag. Like a little sachet. Really? Sachet. It's like at Les Mills. I feel like I pay too much for my membership and they've got a wall mounted body wash in the showers and it's got that pearly essence to it.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I love it. That's how you know it's a good quality soap. So yeah, I used to do this, but the soap, the quality of these hotel soaps, it's not good. It's bad. It's not good. Even at nice hotels, like if we stay for work or whatever, it's still, yeah. And then you just end up with all these bottles at home. Hundreds of them.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Hundreds of these little bottles that you never use. Nah. Some replies. Hannah said, yeah. So I assume she's saying, yes, she takes them. Because my work donates them to Woman's Refuge. Oh, that's a good idea. So you take them and then you take them into work?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Or do you think her work is the accommodation hotel? Maybe if there's like a little bit left, they donate that. Anything donated to Women's Refuge is fantastic, in my opinion. But I'm not quite sure how that works. Maybe there's a fundraising sitch. Morgan says they are wasteful
Starting point is 00:30:36 and unnecessary. Okay. Sorry, Mum. Powerful stuff. What else will the kids make potions with in the bath? So Sophia takes them home for the purpose of her children, just mucking in with them. Yeah, that's cute. Mel said they are the cheapest form of holiday souvenir.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Yes. Oh, my God, Mel. No. Yes. You just put it on the mantelpiece. Yeah. We stayed there. Yeah, the dinner aisle.
Starting point is 00:31:01 BG. Yeah. Dinner aisle. Hannah says not anymore. Bad for the environment. And honestly, they just sit in the back of the cupboard for five years before being thrown away anyway. Sarah said, are you allowed to take them?
Starting point is 00:31:12 I'm seriously asking if we're allowed because this is life-changing information. Small soaps, yes. Microwave, the iron, the hairdryer, no. No, not the jug. You don't want the jug. People will clean their undies in those jugs. We've talked about that before, yeah. Fred says, yes, great for the gym bag.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Parents went on a trip to South Maryland. They bought me back all the mini toiletries and pens. It was like Christmas. Pens are good. Pens are good. Wow. And Josh, to wrap it up, says, I've got no problem with doing this, but the places I stay in is always cheap and shit, so I don't bother.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Fair call. Fair call. Fair call. Fair call. No, it's not the same. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. Well, as we joined together this morning and share stories of our lives and our days,
Starting point is 00:31:58 as we always do every morning, Jared mentioned that the midi had a bit of a close call yesterday. Yeah, so I was scrolling on the Snapchat yesterday and noticed the Midi had put up a story, which he doesn't often do. I went on Snapchat yesterday too. I don't even have the app anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:18 This is amazing because Vaughan never uses Snapchat. You haven't logged in for like eight years, right? Dude, I don't even know how to work it. I'll tell you. You go ahead, Gerard. I'll tell you how, because I also had a Snapchat incident yesterday.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Wow. And yes, I clicked on her story and there's a photo of the midi and it's almost like her phone was in her lap and we just get a real nice straight shot up under the chin. Oh no. So it's an accidental chin.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Yeah, accidental chin selfie. God, when you said it was on her lap and we got a nice shot up under the chin. Oh, no. So it's an accidental chin. Yeah, accidental chin selfie. God, when you said it was on her lap and we got a nice shot up there, I was like, okay. Uh-oh. How long was it on her story for? From, I think, like 7 a.m. till lunchtime. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Yeah, so all her friends were messaging her. I remember once I got my phone out of my pocket and Instagram had drafted a post and it was very close to being posted and I was like, whew, that was close. I've dragged my phone out of my pocket before and seen it gone into a group chat and I must have hit the little microphone button
Starting point is 00:33:16 and it's just like, there's three and a half minutes worth of audio recorded and I'm just like, okay, this is like diffusing a bomb. Don't press the wrong button or they're going to get the three and a half minutes of audio. But you have, I know you did this yesterday, Vaughn, but you've also done this in the past. You've accidentally posted something to your Snapchat story. Yeah, I was, it was ages ago.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I was trying to send Sade a sexy photos and just as a joke, she was literally in the next room and we'd been talking about how we've never used any, like Snapchat, it still disappears after 10 seconds, right? Yeah. Yeah, so we'd never used any of these apps to our benefit because they didn't exist when we were single. So I went to send her a picture of my junk and accidentally put it on my story.
Starting point is 00:34:04 It was really late at night and I panicked but it was only, it was like 11.45 on like a Friday night and it was only up for about 10 seconds. And it didn't have any,
Starting point is 00:34:17 you know how the little eyes, the little eyes come up in the corner when someone sees it? Yeah. That was still, that still wasn't there so no one had seen it.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Oh God, you are so lucky. I know. I would have there so no one had seen it. Oh, God, you are so lucky. I know. I would have been cancelled. Oh, my God, you're so lucky. Oh, my God, your career would have been over. Yeah, I was just like publicly sexually harassing everyone all at once. People might have felt sorry for what you were posting.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah, they might have. It was just kind of, well, you know in the bath it never looks good. It's all shriveled up and floating. No, the bath is, well, just after the bath is where it looks. Oh, right. Okay. Well, because it's all relaxed and soft after a long, hard day. Warm and stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:53 But I haven't been on Snapchat for ages, and then someone was like, how do I get that thing that makes it look like you're crying? Oh, is that Snapchat? And I said, I think that's only in Snapchat. So I went into Snapchat? I said, I think that's only in Snapchat. So I went into Snapchat and I found it. And then when I was in there, I found this filter that was old.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And I took a photo of myself and I was like, that's funny. And I thought of saving it to my gallery, but I put it on my story. Oh, that's a different icon, Vaughn. What one is it? I think you've got to click on the dots and then download. It's always updating and changing. But so how long were those on your story for? Oh, it's still up there.
Starting point is 00:35:32 I just left it there. I don't know how to take it down. Oh, no. Well, we wanted to ask this morning, on 0800DARLSATM9696, what have you accidentally put on your story? Or what's a friend accidentally put on their story? Because let's be honest, you're not going to admit that you accidentally put a nudie or a junk photo up, are you?
Starting point is 00:35:51 You're not going to call us and admit that. Oh, please do though, because it's just mortifying. This has never happened to me. I used to make small videos when I was quite intoxicated and that always accidentally made it. My other personality used to post them on and I'd get up the next morning and be like ow. Do you have a name for your other
Starting point is 00:36:12 personality? Hayley Jane Sproul. Like just drunk Hayley. That's me, I am her. We are one. 0800 Dials at Emma's number, you can text as well, 9696. What accidentally made it onto your story? Guys, I'm back on Snapchat.
Starting point is 00:36:29 You just, I looked up at the Zoom screen and you're on your phone. I'm like, what are you doing? I'm back on Snapchat because we're talking about when you accidentally post something to your story and I thought we were going to be talking about Insta stories, which I'm all about.
Starting point is 00:36:42 But no, we're talking about Snapchat. Well, any story, any story, whether, I mean, maybe even an accidental Facebook story. Who posts on Facebook stories? I don't like. Do we do that? Oh, we do that. Oh, we do that, do we?
Starting point is 00:36:56 Follow us on Facebook. I'm just saying that my Snapchat was when I was like 10 kg lighter, so I don't want to talk about it. I'm off Snapchat again. I'm off Snapchat again. I'm off Snapchat again. Did you just go into memories and there was Skinny Vaughn? Yeah. Well, I accidentally went into memories
Starting point is 00:37:11 because I don't know how to work it. And there I was and that was confronting and I don't like it. Are there memories? You don't want to talk about it. Oh, no. We can't get into this because last time I was on Snapchat was a rogue unit. So we're talking about when something accidentally made it to your story.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Jared's midi accidentally did an under the chin shot from the camera. That's getting off on the light end of things, isn't it? Am I scot-free? Is there a market for upchins though, guys? You don't want your upchins getting online?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Anonymous joins us. Anonymous, what was accidentally posted on the story? Hi. Hi. Hi. I was about eight years ago when Snapchat was still quite fresh. I was in the hospital having my daughter. My best friend wasn't able to be there. She was called in to work.
Starting point is 00:38:01 So instead, kind of baby's freshly born and I said to my partner can you please quickly send a photo to my best friend and it wasn't the most glamorous one things were showing it went on my story and because it was a very hectic kind of crazy time it was left there the entire day I didn't realise and obviously in my newborn bubble, it was I got a lot of messages that I didn't think that I would get. It was a kind of announcement to her coming into
Starting point is 00:38:34 the world that I wasn't prepared for. Yeah, okay. Do you have any Chicken McNugget filter on your genies though? Because I've just found out there's a Chicken McNugget filter on. Well, no. Your crowning baby found out there's a Chicken McNugget filter on. Well, no. Hey, she's supposed to get the best. Your crowning baby comes out
Starting point is 00:38:48 and it's got the nugget filter. Wow. How many views would you normally get for your story at that time? They were close and personal friends and some old high school friends, I think. So there probably were some people on there that I didn't want to see it,
Starting point is 00:39:02 but hey, it was out there. Oh, no. That's so awful. And it's all showing anonymous. Thank you for sharing. Georgia, what accidentally went up on the story? It was my brother. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:17 He accidentally uploaded his downstairs to the Snapchat story, and he was camping with his girlfriend, and I happened to be the first one to see it and had to break the news to him. Oh, no. You saw your brother's... Was it at full attention? Yep, it sure was.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Did you say he was camping? Who's writing a picture of their jennies while they're camping? Well, he was with his girlfriend, like, camping, and obviously was sending it to her or something. I don't know. They were probably next to each other. You're out in nature, Vaughan. You're out in nature.
Starting point is 00:39:52 You're feeling it. She's right there, Hayley. Show it to her in person if she wants to see it. Yeah, wow. Oh, my God. How long did it take you to actually look him in the eyes after that? Um, I think I moved countries. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:40:09 That's a hot place. We still haven't spoken. Oh my God, that's horrible. What did he say when you told him? How did you like break the news? I was like, Luke, I think you want to check your Snapchat story. And he replied being like, oh, oh, it was my girlfriend. Wasn't me, it was my girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Like tried to blame it on her. Oh, right. Okay. Oh, my God. Wow. Luke. Luke. I was going to ask a question.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I'm not going to. I won't. No, I'm not going to ask a question. I know I'm queer. I know I'm queer. I'm not going to do that to you. You're too lovely. I won't.
Starting point is 00:40:44 But you do. Yeah, okay. But, okay, okay. Silver lining. You saw your brother's bits, and if they were, like, okay, then genetically that would mean if you were a boy, you would have nice genitals too. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:00 You don't have to say whether your brother had nice genitals or not. You don't have to. You don't have to. We can all just think about that. But if it was another genitals and you didn't know it was your brother, would you have given it like out of 10? Oh, look, no. Too much. She's not ready to relive it.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Okay. Georgia, thanks for your call. Some more messages in. We've ruined Georgia's life, I reckon. We've ruined her life. Luke ruined her life, to be honest. He's the one that posted it. Brother Luke.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I mean, I like how she probably didn't want to be identified, but literally she's Georgia, he's Luke. How many people have got that sibling combination? Someone's definitely joining the dots there. Some messages in. I went out on the sourced one Saturday night and ended up going home with a,
Starting point is 00:41:47 as they describe it, a bird who is an OnlyFans creator. A bird. Like a lady? A lady. Yeah, it's a woman, a female.
Starting point is 00:41:56 A bird. A bird. Yeah, a girl. I wouldn't watch a parakeet on OnlyFans. I'm not paying, you know, $7 a month
Starting point is 00:42:04 for a parakeet. Is it a talking parakeet? Yeah,ans, I don't think. I'm not paying, you know, $7 a month for a parakeet. Is it a talking parakeet? Yeah, they're saying sexy things to me. I might do $4.99 a month for a talking parakeet. So she asked if I would be up to film some content. Oh, okay. So I pulled out the Snapchat because apparently she said that worked best. And rather than saving it onto my phone, I put it on my story.
Starting point is 00:42:24 That's what happened to me. I wanted to save it, just the filter, save the filter, but they ended up putting it on their Snapchat story. Oh, God. She'd be livid because, of course, she makes money off that and he's giving it away for nothing. My husband tried to send me a sexy pic, but didn't know
Starting point is 00:42:40 what he was doing and put it at his Facebook story and one of them started getting inundated with messages. No, no, no, no. I love these stories. I love these stories. Someone said, I was having a weekend away with my brother and I noticed when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom,
Starting point is 00:42:57 his phone was lit up with notifications and they were all Tinder notifications. I thought, that's pretty funny. Screen capped it, sent it to myself, tried to send it to a mate, ended up putting it on my story, and he got in massive trouble with some girls that he thought they were exclusive with. Oh, no, you've revealed him. Really, he's got a few back burners. How are you always going to keep it warm?
Starting point is 00:43:18 We should probably talk one day about your alternative personalities. Someone said, I've got an alternative personality called Mike and he's always up to no goods. He's posted my nerds online and stuff before. He's a very naughty boy. He's very naughty. Let's change all that in for next Tuesday. Your alternative drunk personalities.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah, yeah. Because I know some friends that have names for them as well. Yeah. Names for them as well, yeah. Swedengate. This hashtag, I saw it pop up yesterday. I was like, what the hell is Swedengate? What have they done now? You know, my thoughts on Sweden.
Starting point is 00:43:59 You've got a Scandinavian country that's always one of the happiest in the world, beautiful people, great health care, public transport through the roof. Higher taxes, sure, but, you know, they're getting a lot out of it Ikea, the home of Ikea Is it Sweden? Yeah, I think it is Sweden And the home of Swedish meatballs So they've got everything And the home of Eminem
Starting point is 00:44:18 And that song where he's in Sweden And he says to his daughter, how did you get to Sweden? Yeah, and when nobody ever explained how she got to Sweden because you can't travel at that younger age. How did you get to Sweden? There's no answers as to how she got there. Zero answers. All these years later. On how Hayley, his daughter, who was an infant at the time, managed to get herself to Sweden.
Starting point is 00:44:36 I think it needs its own podcast series to be honest. Yeah, it does actually. How did Hayley Jade get to Sweden? How did she get to Sweden? With Fletchbourne and Hayley Jane. This kicked off on Reddit when someone asked, and I love these, I love ask Reddits, when someone asks a question and you're like, oh, why have I not thought to ask this question?
Starting point is 00:44:54 The question was, what is the weirdest thing you had to do at somebody else's house because of their culture or religion? Somebody commented, I remember going to my Swedish friend's house and while we were playing in his room, his mum yelled that dinner was ready and he told me to wait in his room while they ate.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Someone else said, I remember sleeping over at a Swedish friend's house. When we woke up, he said he was going downstairs for a few minutes. After 15 minutes, I go downstairs to see what the hell is happening. They're all eating their breakfast. They see me and he says, I'm almost done.
Starting point is 00:45:27 I'll be up soon. And I still think about this 25 years later. And it turns out that Swedish people don't film, don't film? Don't feed their guests. And it's not just kids. If you're like at their house and it gets to dinner time, they won't be like, oh, stay for dinner.
Starting point is 00:45:46 They'll just start preparing their dinner in the hopes that you'll either A, leave, or B, sit there and not want anything. Like you sit in the lounge while they have their dinner. Yeah. What is this? Where does it come from? You know when you're a kid and you're like, I'm going to stay at my friend Jared's house tonight,
Starting point is 00:46:03 and then his parents feed you. And then when Jared stays at your house, your parents feed him. That's just what happens. Friends over is that you feed them. We always feed them. We always feed the kids' friends and the kids when they've got friends over
Starting point is 00:46:19 probably better than when the kids are just hanging around. If they're like, I'm hungry, we're like, there's an apple, eat a piece of fruit. But if they're like, oh, we're hungry, then you're like, oh, we'll make sandwiches and, you know. You don't want them going home saying that you've got shit food. Is that why?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Yeah. Yeah. Well, apparently Zara Larsson, you know, Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, said this is peak Swedish culture. She said, yeah, this totally happens. It's wild, isn't it? Like, you're just going to let your friends go hungry, and even if they're staying and you're hosting them at your house.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Do they have to bring, like, a packed lunch and dinner and stuff so that they can eat, or will you just go hungry? I guess so. Another Stockholm native said this always happened when we were kids. The family would basically be like, you only live a couple of minutes away. Go home and eat and you can come back afterwards. So I'm reading up about why the Swedish thinking goes like this. The other child or the other family, the guest, may have plans for another kind of dinner
Starting point is 00:47:22 and you don't want to ruin the routine or the preparations. It's nothing to do with not wanting to feed the other child or because it costs money. It's more to do with tradition around eating with your own family. But then, like, this kid was there overnight and they didn't feed him breakfast. Yeah, that's rough. This is great.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Some have linked the practice with Nordic Viking culture where a meal is often seen as a debt. In the Norse culture, an unpaid debt often results in violent duels. Oh. So it's like you come and stay at our house, Stevie, and we feed you, but now you owe us a meal for our child. But that's sort of, as you said, how it goes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:02 It's not hard to just chuck a few extra cornflakes in a bowl, right? Oh, my God. It's so bizarre. It's wild to think, you know, like you put it in any part of New Zealand food culture, everybody's always, you've been to a marae, God damn, they just keep putting it in your mouth. No thanks, Nan, I've had meat tonight.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Like, sit down and eat, boy. And you're like, ah. Wow. I've never, ever heard of this. So have any, so Zara Larsson singers come out about it? Has anyone else come out and explained themselves? Or are they just like, yeah, it is how it is. Just deal with it.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Yeah, and to think that the Swedish representative on the board of the Muppets was the Swedish chef. Was he just cooking for himself and making Kermit go home for food? Oh yeah, those Muppets didn't get anything he cooked. He was always cooking up there. He was always trying to cook those chickens. Lucky they weren't relying on him for food, because if he finally managed to actually cook something, he wouldn't have shared it anyway. Well, at the moment, Hayley, you're filming Bake Off. So you're broadcasting from home.
Starting point is 00:49:07 And Vaughan, you have the vid. Correct. So you're at home. So yesterday after the show, I had the responsibility of, after work, going to watch a movie. I'm not allowed to say what movie because it's embargoed. It's coming out. It's not out for a few weeks.
Starting point is 00:49:24 But we've got a big interview coming up. I can say that much but I can't say the celebrity so I really can't say anything but anyway after the show Anna and I were going down to her car in the car park to go to the movies. Cute movie date.
Starting point is 00:49:39 And we pressed the elevator button to go down and it took a couple of minutes and it eventually came and a lady came out. She walked out and we jumped in the lift to go down. And it took a couple of minutes and it eventually came. And a lady came out. She walked out. And we jumped in the lift to go down to the car park building. And that is when we both looked at each other instantly when the doors shut and realised that this little innocent lady had crop dusted us.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Absolutely popped off. She had dropped her guts in the elevator and left and we just left. It was horrible, eh? I don't know how that came from her. Wow. Yeah, I had to pull up my jumper over my mouth. Yeah, I pulled up my t-shirt and I was like, I can't breathe in, I can't
Starting point is 00:50:18 do it. And then we got out. It's about a stranger's fart as well, eh? Because you're like, I don't know you, I don't want to inhale you. Oh yeah, if it's your fart in an elevator's fart as well, eh? Because you're like, I don't know you. I don't want to inhale you. Oh, yeah, if it's your fart in an elevator, that's fine, right? Absolutely fine. She probably thought she got in the lift by herself and she probably thought, now's my chance.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Not knowing, A, that it was going to linger, that it was going to stink or that people were waiting to get in. But this isn't, she wasn't jumping on on the 40th floor and riding all the way down to the bottom with enough time for it to get, like there's these literally five floors. Yeah. Like, wait until you get out of the lift. And we, anyway, we went out into the basement and this guy was about to jump in and we were like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't get in there. Somebody crop dusted us.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Yeah, but they think that it was you. Totally. They totally think it was you. He didn't think it was us. Oh, but there was two of you, so I think maybe you were a little bit more likely to be innocent. Also, when the lift door opened, it was just two people with their T-shirts over their mouth, just like, ugh.
Starting point is 00:51:11 And I think he was like, oh, and he said, I'll wait for the next one. Yeah, he probably also felt the temperature, because it was a warm fart. Oh, yeah, it was humid. I don't know how that works, but I feel like he would have seen the lift doors open and then go, oh, there's a waft. And felt something. It was so pungent. It seen the lift doors open and then go, whew, there's a waft. And felt or something.
Starting point is 00:51:25 It was so pungent. It warmed the lift. I believe so, yes. It warmed the lift, yeah. It was disgusting. Jesus. She's a whole geothermal vent. They should pipe that for future energy resources. Oh no. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Horrible, but yeah, it's not a nice situation. I'm so sorry about this violent attack on you. Well, it was. It was a violent attack. A non-physical. Well, I guess physical in the sense that it was in our nostrils. Yeah. An abuse of the nose.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Just absolutely terrible. All right, it's a Friday tradition. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Friday Flashback. All right, it's a Friday tradition. Before we do the long weekend group toot, we're going to go back in time. Yes, we are. And we're heading back 20 years, in fact, to the day because Avril Lavigne's, spoiler alert,
Starting point is 00:52:24 hit album Let Go turns 20 today. Now, Let Go was basically like the birth of Avril Lavigne, as we know it. She came onto the scene, everyone was like pretty pop star, kind of teeny bopper-ish, and then on came this girl in a man's tie and some thick eyeliner. And, yeah, it kind of took every, like this album was huge when it came out. Everybody had it.
Starting point is 00:52:52 So huge. It's still one of the highest selling albums of the 21st century. The two hit singles from the album both spent half of the year in the billboard top 100 and one of those songs is my friday flashback now uh this song uh this was 2002 so 20 years ago yeah uh i think it's still the song that when we think of avril lavigne we think of this song yeah and um i'm i And I'm calling for it. 20 years later, I think we want an update on these two
Starting point is 00:53:29 and where they're at in their life. She was just a girl. Yeah. He was just a boy. And now she would be a woman and he would be a man. We need an update. He also could be dead too.
Starting point is 00:53:39 We don't know if he's alive. Absolutely. If he's not dead, he definitely, he's in the age group now. We're getting up off the couch. He'll make a funny noise. Yeah. Especially with all the injuries he's not dead, he definitely, he's in the age group now, we're getting up off the couch, he'll make a funny noise. Yeah. Especially with all the injuries he's had.
Starting point is 00:53:50 From all his skating. Yeah. His knees will be shocked. I bet you he's still wearing chunky skater shoes, though. Oh, yeah. And an iLab. But he's moved on to iLab hats. All right, it's your Friday flashback.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Avril, zit in. He was a boy. She was a girl Can I make it any more obvious He was a punk She did ballet What more can I say He wanted her
Starting point is 00:54:16 She'd never tell Secretly she wanted him as well And all of her friends Stuck up their nose And they had a problem with his baggy clothes. He was a skater boy. She said see you later boy. He wasn't
Starting point is 00:54:32 good enough for her. Now he's a superstar. So let me on his guitar. Just show pretty face see what he's worth. He was a skater boy. She said see you later boy. He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a superstar
Starting point is 00:54:48 So let me on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? He's just a boy And I'm just a girl Can I make it any more obvious? We are in love Haven't you heard? How we rock each other's world
Starting point is 00:55:07 I'm with the skater boy I said see you later boy I'll be backstage after the show I'll be at the studio Singing the song we wrote About the girl you used to know I'm with the skater boy I said see you later boy
Starting point is 00:55:24 I'll be backstage after the show I'll be at the studio It's your Friday flashback on ZM, Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi, and that song, the album, came out 20 years ago today. And that means 20 years ago today. And that means 20 years ago today, I went to the third form ball in a mini skirt and a tied white shirt and a tie around my neck. As a wannabe Avril Lavigne. Absolutely. Wow.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Any feedback for me there, Vaughn-y? Yeah, good feedback. What's a classic? My daughter, who's just having breakfast just over there, said, I've heard that song. That's that old song off TikTok. Oh, good feedback. What's a classic? My daughter, who's just having breakfast just over there, said, I've heard that song. That's that old song off TikTok. Oh, my God. No, she has had a TikTok resurgence though, eh?
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yes. I don't know why. Somebody messaged in saying they're tuning the lyrics to the song's bit. They're going to be like the premise of a movie. Yes, it is. That's right. I heard that.
Starting point is 00:56:23 We all know what's going to happen in the end. I'm sure they'll take some artistic license be like the premise of a movie. Yes, it is. That's right. I heard that. We all know what's going to happen in the end. I'm sure they'll take some artistic licence and maybe drag it out three hours. He'd better skate. Yeah, because you can't just jump from one verse from Skater Boy to he's rocking out on MTV. Yeah, to fill in quite a lot. In the five years from now, that whole
Starting point is 00:56:39 five years, that'll be the film. I imagine in the movie, he will go to MTV and change and he won't have time for her anymore because he's famous. And then maybe, yeah, yeah, and she's sitting home feeding the baby, but she's up the duff again, so she's got like, you know, four of them running around. Wait, no, no, no, Avril was never the one that was with the baby. That was the girl that said he wasn't good enough for her.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Then she had a baby. Oh, God, I hope they're going to work out this plot. It sounds very complicated. That's confusing. Yeah, yeah. Where's Avril in this? Well, she was like, you're never going to make anything of yourself,
Starting point is 00:57:11 and now he's rocking on MTV. Right. Yeah, but she's at home with the feeling the baby. No, no, no, Avril's not. This is Avril singing about another girl. Right. Avril was never the one with the baby. She was the one with the skater boy
Starting point is 00:57:22 who was saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to the girl that said the skater boy wasn't good enough. I think we've worked out there's plenty of content for a three-hour movie there. It's a three-hour. Good response. Good response there from the people there for that flashback. The Long Weekend Group Toot. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning.

I've been to that World War I exhibition I think five times that. I've been to that World War I exhibition, I think five times now, and every time I'm just like, ooh, goosebumps.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Isn't our colossal squid falling apart at the sink? Oh, will you? Will you? You imagine a colossal squid. You get it out of the ocean, of course it's going to start rotting. Yeah, no, I don't think it's doing so well. They've got it in formaldehyde.
Starting point is 01:17:41 I hadn't heard that it was falling to bits, but it always looked a bit manky. It always looked like they found it when it was already been dead for a few days. The tank is like full of floaties. It's sort of coming off. It's like leaving, you know, if you have chicken for dinner
Starting point is 01:17:54 and you leave it out on the bench, you can put it in the fridge the next day, but it's not going to be the same as if it was refrigerated immediately. Exactly. Question, has anyone had formaldehyde squid rings? Oh, no. Would that go down well?
Starting point is 01:18:08 No, they banned them in the 80s. They caused horrendous birth defects. Oh, right, okay. So they stopped trying to make seafood last longer by preserving it in formaldehyde before people ate it. Damn. But this is a Tamil bell. A Tamil bell is in Te Papa.
Starting point is 01:18:23 Okay, what's a Tamil bell? It's a type of bell that was used by seafarers and traders. I'm imagining it was on a boat. It would ding dong, the witch is dead sort of a warning bell. Not that one at a bar if you ring it, you have to give everyone a shot. Oh, yeah, that's a cool bell. No. That's not a Tamil bell.
Starting point is 01:18:43 That's not in Te Papa? No, that's not in Te Papa. That's not in Te Papa? No, that's not in Te Papa. That should be in Te Papa. The cafe in Te Papa you walk in ding, ding, ding. Some 65 year old group of ladies who are doing a trip to see something about the suffragettes and all have to do
Starting point is 01:18:57 tequila shots before Te Papa. No, this bell was discovered in New Zealand in 1836. And it was, uh, it's a bell not, um, it was made overseas. It was a European tradition. So when, in 1936, a explorer, 1836, sorry, William Colenso found the bell, he said to local Māori,
Starting point is 01:19:21 um, where'd you get this bell from? And they're like, don't know. We've had it for ages though, we use it for cooking. They'd turn the bell upside down and they'd light a fire on it and they'd cook in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:30 And he's like, how did it get here? And they're like, don't know, we just had it one day. And so it's inscribed in Tamil, are the words, it says this name of the ship,
Starting point is 01:19:42 Moho Yedin Book's ship bell. Yeah. And no one's got any idea how it got to New Zealand. Did it wash up onto a beach? It's too heavy. That was monstrously heavy. That's what made it so good for cooking. You imagine a huge cast iron pot.
Starting point is 01:19:58 Like a big melting pot. And all we need is a great big melting pot. Yeah, to take the world in all it's got. Yeah, right. Okay. So how big is this thing? There's this mystery about, oh, it's big enough to be cooked in,
Starting point is 01:20:12 like a big pot. So they make a big casserole. Oh, yeah. Yeah, slow cook cassie. Oh, yum. Well, you could probably get a couple of good mower drumsticks in there, I reckon.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Oh, my God, a mower slow cook in winter. Yes, please. Does this mean that there's a theory that someone else was there before our mate Cook? Perhaps. He's not my mate, by the way. He's not my mate. He's not my mate.
Starting point is 01:20:35 So I just realised I was taking a stand by Cook and I don't want to do that. He's not your mate. Yeah, right. I was incorrect in saying the Tamil bell was European of origin. Tamil, of course, is an area. It's South Asia. The Tamil people of South Asia, they were always sailing around. So, you know, there's thoughts of if they did come,
Starting point is 01:20:55 and if it was a shipwreck and then local Maori tribe found the bell, there's, you know, legs to the thoughts that Europeans might not have been the first settlers post-Māori to arrive in New Zealand. It might have been the Tamil. Okay. And that's how their bell got here. Suck it, cook. Let's get a little Tamil ship on the 50 cent piece.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Yeah. And that's today's... Fact of the day Day Day Day Day the phone now by someone who you can see tonight on Prime Video. The first three episodes of season three of The Boys is out and Erin Moriarty is on the phone. Hello. Hello. How are you guys? Really good. We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek of episode one yesterday and wow, it's back as good as ever. See, that's the thing. You're just scratching the surface with episode one. If you think it's back and better, just wait. The episode one obviously sets it up.
Starting point is 01:22:08 But the funny thing about this season is like, we're now entering the territory where, yes, okay, everyone knows that you're going to see things on The Boys that you've never seen before on TV. But now it's getting to the territory of like, I didn't think I would ever see this in my life. When you first pick up a script, of like, I don't, I didn't think I would ever see this in my life. When you first pick up a script and it's kind of describes the action of what is happening.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Are you like, what? Yeah, truly, truly. And also usually it doesn't involve my character, which is, which is a good and a bad thing. Like it's, it's cool to play the straight character, but in certain points I'm like, damn, I wish I got to do some of that crazy stuff. Yeah. but in certain points I'm like, damn, I wish I got to do some of that crazy stuff. But there are a lot of situations this season where I'm like, I'm so glad that I'm the one that walks in on things and that doesn't participate in things
Starting point is 01:22:54 because it is crazy and it's hilarious. And then there are days on set where I'm like, if you guys saw what my eyes have seen, you'd be like, oh, I'm changed forever from this show. And I don't know if it's for the better or the good. It's definitely for the better because my sense of humor is so dark, but it is wild, you guys.
Starting point is 01:23:15 I mean, when it changes you as a person, in addition to as an actor, you know that we've gone far. There are certain members of my family, like my grandma, who I'm like, you know, they're quote unquote proud, but I'm also like, oh my God, this is what I ended up in. And of course, this is the exact thing that I wanted to do. I'm a New Yorker, I'm very cynical,
Starting point is 01:23:36 I have really dark humor. This is my kind of thing. I wanna go far with it, right? I wanna do all those things. But there are certain family members where I'm like, you don't need to watch this episode. But I think that's a sign that we're doing the right thing because that's the kind of show I want to be a part of.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Well, it does. It pushes. I remember talking to Carlo Barn before last season came out because he's a New Zealander, so is Anthony Stark, as are we. Wait, so you guys are in New Zealand? Yeah. Oh, cool. I've never been and I'm dying are we. Wait, so you guys are in New Zealand? Yeah. That's where you guys are. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 01:24:06 I've never been and I'm dying to go. Oh, come over. I know so many Kiwis and they're the best. We are the best. Yeah, we are. Well, I remember the first season of The Boys, it was quite big news here that two New Zealanders were getting leads in this show that was being produced.
Starting point is 01:24:24 Seth Rogen was an executive producer and it had all these names attached and everyone's like, we've got to watch. It's the patriotic Judy of New Zealand. And then as you say, people were like, it's not for everybody. And the funny thing is like, listen, I don't, this is probably one of those stupid assumptions
Starting point is 01:24:39 people make, but now I'm like, well, all Kiwis know each other because I get on our show and Carl and Anthony have known each other for decades and they had the same acting teacher growing up. And it's just a small world. So it was so cool to see that personal connection. But then at the same time
Starting point is 01:24:56 they're playing enemies. So it's so funny to see them because they're the pillars of our show, you know. Kiwis are the two pillars of our show. And they're batting heads. But they're in person the best people. So Carlo Barn told us before the last season that he read the script and
Starting point is 01:25:12 he said at one stage you had to drive a boat through a whale. And he was like that's the craziest thing. Are we going to see crazier in season three? 100%. 100%. Yes. Where do I even begin? Like, I, you know, it's hard to even hint because, but it's like, I don't know. It's kind of, I don't, that writer's room, I wish I could be a fly on the wall because they must have so much fun coming up with stuff because the stuff they
Starting point is 01:25:45 come up with it's almost like okay take that get wilder and crazier and more inappropriate and then we're gonna say yes to it how do you find the fans the fans of the show like do you get accosted in the street now do people stop you is it just taking things to a whole new level for you you know people did people wreck yeah yeah people people people, people will, some do. I mean, I, I'm lucky because like, I live in LA where you walk down the street and every third person is a successful actor. So I get the constant like humility check of like, okay, well, yeah, you're on a TV show. So what? So I do like that, but I do get the funny thing is yes, I'll get recognized every now and then. And people are really nice. But the funny thing is when I like run into my older neighbor who's this older lovely woman and and she asked
Starting point is 01:26:31 what show I'm on and I say and she's like oh oh oh oh I couldn't uh I had to stop watching that when people look at me like oh you're on that show you're on that I reckon it's a compliment someone's saying I yeah I completely agree but that's a compliment, someone's saying. It is a compliment, yeah. I completely agree, but that's the funny thing, are certain family members who are older and they're like, I just had to stop. Or the eyes widen and they're like, oh, you're on that show. But yeah, I get recognized.
Starting point is 01:26:56 People are lovely. They're hilarious. You would love New Zealand if that's the mentality and LA is like, oh, you're on a TV show, big whoop. And also, I have to say, I'm probably the only American who's watched, it's my favorite New Zealand show ever and it's like the big show that Anthony was on. Outrageous Fortune. I love Outrageous Fortune.
Starting point is 01:27:17 And I'm the only American who I know who's seen it, okay? I love Outrageous Fortune. You're going to spread the word. It's one of our best, I reckon. I said to Anthony, if it came out in the States, it would have been a Friends except bed. Like, I love you gotta spread the word it's one of our best I reckon I said to Anthony if it came out in the States it would have been a friends except bed like I love it
Starting point is 01:27:28 we need to send Erin some Shortland Street I reckon we'll get you out we've got a long running soap opera and I reckon you'll love Shortland Street
Starting point is 01:27:35 oh I know Shortland Street I've heard about it before that's so funny but yeah it's our pride it's the pride of our country if I'm wrong Karl Urban was on
Starting point is 01:27:43 Shortland Street and he was the first ever gay person to portray a gay character on Shortland Street. And it was in the early 90s. Yeah. Which was quite progressive. It is progressive. But no, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:56 I mean, I do think that there are some people, like my mom specifically, she really likes the show, but she's had some moments where she's just walked away and she's like, still to this day, she's like, it traumatized her. And I'm like, oh, mom, you have no idea what you're in for this season. Yeah, maybe you're still one.
Starting point is 01:28:14 Skip season three. Yeah. Skip season three. Well, we didn't even get time to cover Jensen Ackles joining the cast, which I'm very, very excited about. Soldier Boy. Soldier Boy. I'll just say Homelander, the original Homelander.
Starting point is 01:28:26 Yeah. In a world where one Homelander is too many. So two Homelanders in one show. It's time to defrost another. Well, season three of The Boys on Amazon Prime. Erin Moriarty, thank you so much for your time. Thank you guys so much.
