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.

Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Do you know, I got into work and Fletch asked me to be his valentine and he bought me flowers.
Now, they do say For Brie Thomasel on them and they are from a sort of PR company, but
it was so sweet.
It was a thought that counts, wasn't it?
It's just nice to see you thinking about people.
Yeah, just for a moment you thought I'd got you a lovely bunch of flowers.
I was like, oh my God, he's really surprised me.
Speaking of Valentine's Day today,
Morgan Penn, resident sexologist,
host of the Sex.Life podcast with yourself.
Indeed, I'm there.
She's going to join us this morning around 7.30.
We're going to talk to her about Valentine's Day, how
we should be celebrating. And also
maybe like
alleviate some of the pressure of Valentine's Day
as well. Not everyone's celebrating.
You've been working on a song as well? I do, I've got a
Hayley's version after 8 o'clock.
Also
Valentine's Day thing. Okay.
It's sort of Leading into my
Sexy plans for the evening
Yes
We have a lot of
Valentine's Day content
On the show
It's like a radio consultant
Told us we better do something
It's almost
Almost like that
And I think you'll find
It's spaced out to be
Pretty much one every half hour
Yeah
Good
Yeah good from us
You're cheeky
You are cheeky
The top six on the way, Hamilton.
Not Valentine's Day related.
Hamilton is sweltering.
There's like been a record.
They've been the hottest place in New Zealand a few days in a row.
It's been hot in the Tron.
And you've always said it's the hottest place in the country.
I said it's a hot place to be.
Yeah.
I got the top six signs it's hot in the tron coming up in the top six.
Next though.
Yesterday I got into my car
and I was like,
there's a smell.
And when I,
and I was like.
This is,
if anyone's ever been
in Hayley's car,
you get it and you're like,
oh, there's a smell.
There's a smell.
Yeah.
Well, I got in my car
this morning and I've,
yeah, I've worked out
what the smell is.
Okay.
Play ZM's
Flashborn and Hayley.
I'm getting a new car soon
and thank God because I always feel a new car soon, and thank God,
because I always feel like my situation with my current car,
which it will be up for sale, and if you're interested in buying it,
boy, what a car.
You've done a great job of selling it.
Every opportunity you can, you tell us what a wonderful car it is.
What a wonderful car.
Not that it's a stinky shit heap piled up with crap.
What did you spill in the console?
Chocolate.
Chocolate. Chocolate.
That was there for years.
Oh, hey.
But so I got in yesterday,
because it's always a bit smelly.
Like there's always something going on.
Do you know what I mean?
And there's always some kind of thing to move
so that I can sit even in the passenger seat.
Something to move.
Something's wet.
Something's sticky.
It's stinky.
It's just like, I've just never respected the car and I show it.
Do you know what I mean?
But I got in the car yesterday and noticed like a mouldy smell.
Like it's not a damp car.
It doesn't leak.
You can't call them that anymore.
No, no, with a D.
Mouldy.
No, it's with an R and a macron over the A.
No, no, no.
Well, it is somewhat of a mouldy vehicle, but it's mouldy, wet, damp.
But it's not a leaky car.
I was like, it's never been a wet, leaky car.
Okay.
Thank you for pronouncing the H in wet.
Yeah, I think not enough people do.
If I'm being honest, not enough people do.
Wet, leaky car.
Yeah.
There's also an H in car, ca-ha.
I like that it's on the N.
Ca-ha. So anyway, so I get in and I was like, oh my God, it's sort of. Car. I like that it's on the N.
Car.
So anyway, so I get in and I was like, oh my God, it's sort of stinking.
I'm looking around.
I was like, there's some old smoothie containers.
Oh, yuck.
And I was like, it's not there.
I know the taste of an off smoothie.
Is it manky gin there? Here at work, I park beside somebody.
They shall remain nameless.
But they always have two protein shakers in their car.
It's Sam Wallace from Cosa.
And he has two protein shakers in his car with both the lids off.
Oh, no, no, no.
I kept note one week.
Okay.
Same colour shakers, same sides.
I think they've been, and you know what those things are like if you don't get them out.
Oh, my God. I can smell it now. It's know what those things are like if you don't get them out.
Oh, my God.
I can smell it now.
It's a prongy situation.
He's borrowed a car from BYD.
Right.
Build Your Dreams, which is a stupid name for a car company.
I'll stand by that.
I'll toe-tuckle that.
That's terrible.
Terrible.
Terrible name for a car company.
And I'm thinking when he gives it back, it's going to stink.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nothing stinks like protein stinks.
Yeah.
So what is it in your car then? Well, I couldn't find the source of the smell. Oh, God. So I was like, oh, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing stinks like protein stinks. Yeah. So what is it in your car then?
Well, I couldn't find the source of the smell.
Oh, God.
So I was like, oh, my God, this is yuck.
Okay.
Anyway, so this morning I just got in the car,
like literally, you know, an hour or so ago,
and I turn around and I forgot I've got a giant,
like 40-litre bag of compost in the back seat.
Oh, Hayley. Is it the same one you've had for a while?
When I picked you up last week.
I feel like even,
we were going to the airport once
and it was in the boot
and it moved to the...
No, that was a different bag of compost.
But yes, I also had that in my boot
for a couple of weeks.
Because you would have Legionnaire's disease
if that was still there.
I was going to say,
won't that give you Legionnaire's disease?
I don't know.
Or is it only when you touch the soil?
I don't know.
It's a slow, painful death, Hayley.
Right.
Is it in the lungs?
Yeah, it's a respiratory thing, isn't it?
Is it fungal?
Legionnaire feels like a military rank.
It is.
It's the French legionnaires,
the people that went overseas with the funny hats.
Oh, that's why that felt familiar.
I think they got it, so it's named after them.
Happy to be corrected.
Well, I...
This one's been in there maybe a week or so?
Yeah.
I think that's alright.
Anyway, but I also am going to...
Now, this is... I'm going to
flash a little privilege here. Okay.
I am going to Wellington
this weekend. Okay. And so I'm going to the airport
straight after work and I am leaving my car at the airport
at the valet because you get it nice and
cheap over the weekends with the Kourou.
Gosh.
You said you were going to flash some privilege.
You flashed both your privileges.
What?
My Kourou and my...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they are going to have to drive it with two smoothie containers
in the front, chocolate still in the middle console,
and a bag of compost in the back.
I'm just not going to say anything.
Yeah, they're charging you the extra fee.
Don't valet do an extra fee when, like, it's really manky?
Do they? Oh. Are they cleaning it?
No, no, no, they're not cleaning it. They're not cleaning it. Oh, okay, right.
No, no, they're just parking it. Oh, okay, right. I'm not that posh.
I'm still a woman of the people.
Okay, right. I mean, I'm not that
posh. I have a bag of compost in my
back seat. Yeah, we'll see if you're here on Monday
or you're in hospital fighting Legionnaire's
disease. Well, we'll watch this space.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
You've left it a little bit late.
No, you can get in today.
Absolutely not.
Turn up at home after work.
Perfume.
Perfume, flowers and a kiss.
Do that thing.
From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.
Hamilton's recent run of hot days likely beats anything the city has experienced since temperature records began.
Wow.
Has said a climate scientist.
I don't feel good.
Oh my God.
What about some of the plants at the gardens, darling?
Let's shush because I've got six points coming up of how it's hot in Hamilton.
Okay, because that's...
You're just taking a big fat wazz on one of them.
As I am known to do, but...
Please don't wazz on my six points.
It would be a big point of concern.
That's my favourite thing about Hamilton.
Hamilton's typical February maximum Was 25 degrees Celsius
And so far they've not had a day below 27
Oh that's hot
They've topped 30
Which is mad
It's mad
It's a different sort of heat
It's inland heat
Yeah
It's wild
It's been hot in the Tron
Well I've got the top six signs
It's been hot in the Tron Number six on the've got the top six signs. It's been hot in the Tron.
Number six on the list.
The local Bogans almost didn't wear long black jeans.
What?
Almost.
What would their calves even look like?
We don't know, and we're scared to find out.
But the black jeans, you know what?
There's been a couple of sightings of Bogans in jandals with jeans.
I know it's wild, every time they've just taken
the boots off for a bit
that's how hot it is
see the foot
yeah
imagine what
imagine if this continues
yeah
there may be
some very white legs out
so
number five on the list
of the top six signs
that's been hot and tron
half of the Waikato River
has been diverted
to water the gardens
we must save the gardens.
Yeah, we must.
We must save.
There's just a pump at the bottom and they're just pumping it up.
Hamilton Gardens, honestly, you've got to go.
Arguable what's worse for plants, extreme drought and heat or that water.
We're not sure because it's a little bit gross by the time it gets there.
Excuse me while I cough.
God, Dad's here.
Wow.
God, that's the biggest dad noise.
That was the biggest dad.
Clearing the throat.
Yeah.
Number three on the list of the...
Oh, no, number four on the...
I said four.
Don't shortcut us, please.
Number four on the list of the top six signs
it's been hot in the tron.
The locals' lawns have gone brown
and the locals have started whispering
about their lawns quietly behind their back.
Oh.
Have you noticed how brown the lawn is?
I don't want to go for her lawn.
It's very brown.
Yeah.
That's a mackie.
Your mum's not, like, scared of brown people, though.
No.
Hamilton people are scared of brown people.
So they'll be like,
have you noticed how brown the lawn is? I'm just going to say it. Not my favourite of brown people. So they'll be like, have you noticed
how brown the lawn is?
I'm just going to say
it's not my favourite colour.
Well,
haven't they got water
because this is when
the time of year
people sneakily water
their lawn
and then they get
found out
when theirs is
the only green lawn.
That's where you get a sign.
Just get a sign made
that said this property
gets water from a bore.
Yep.
And even if it's not true,
it'll stop people complaining.
Don't encourage that.
If there's a drought,
if there's water restrictions,
it's for a reason.
Okay, narc.
Narc with your brown lawn.
I'll not have a brown lawn.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
Number three on the list of the top six signs
that's been hot in the tron.
Locals almost drank water
instead of Wicca to draft.
Almost.
Oh, no.
Almost.
The water's got a taste.
Yeah, it's not booze.
That's the taste
that you can taste in the water.
It's not Wicca to draft.
What a beer.
What a beer.
You can drink it
when it's ice cold,
but if warm,
it's absolutely unpalatable.
I'm sorry, as a Hamilton boy,
I should be able to drink it any time.
I can't.
I can't.
Number two on the list of the top six signs
it's been hot in the Tron,
the riffraff statue's melting.
Oh, that's hot.
Oh, yeah.
The very, you know, we're very proud of Richard.
Yes, very proud of Richard.
And we gave him a statue.
I went to the unveiling of that statue.
Did you?
Yeah, it was where I saw someone say,
oh no, we don't have any balloons left for NOS.
And they cracked the NOS canister straight to their throat
and burned themselves quite badly.
Now, I didn't know the person.
I just happened to be standing beside them
and watched it happen.
I was like...
Who's doing NOS at a statue unveiling?
Have some decorum.
They were families. They shut the street. Richard himself was there, who's doing Nos at a statue unveiling? Have some decorum. There were families,
they shut the street.
Richard himself was there,
I do believe.
And someone nanged it
straight down their gob.
Raw nang.
You don't raw dog a nang.
Number one on the list
of the top six signs
it's been hot in the tron.
The milk is coming out
of the cows already
thruffed and ready
for the cappuccinos.
Oh, beautiful.
Latte for the teat.
The mums will love that.
They just go,
straight out the teat. Bit of choccy on top. Oh, yeah. Bit of cinnamon.ite. The mums will love that. They just go... Straight out of the teat.
Bit of choccy on top.
Oh, yeah.
Bit of cinnamon.
We love a cappuccino.
I'm going to get a bowl.
Get yourself a big bowl.
I'm tired.
I might need a bowl.
You've earned it.
No more extra shots of coffee, just more milk, please.
I don't know why my guts are so upset.
A bowl of cappuccino, please.
That is today's top six.
Play.
ZM.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Sometimes I think it's a bit easy to get into a routine
and you get a little bit bored of life.
Yup.
Realise that.
Even just since I started that sentence,
I'm closer to death than when I...
Don't think about it.
What do you mean?
You, you...
Sorry.
Hey.
I'm so bored.
Hey.
Is this it?
Hey.
This is life? Is this it? What. I'm so bored. Hey. Is this it? This is life?
Is this it?
What?
I'm back.
She's back with us.
I'm back.
Did you say, when you get into a routine, you get bored?
Yeah.
Right.
Well, I mean, I think a routine's good.
And I like, you know, even after the end of the holidays, I was like, I'm ready to go
to work in terms of like having a good routine.
Yeah.
But, you know, you sort of like go to your places.
Even on the weekends, you're like, we go to this pub or we go to this bar or we go to work in terms of like having a good routine. Yeah. But you know, you sort of like go to your places. Even on the weekends,
you're like,
we go to this pub or we go to this bar or we go to this place.
We go to this beach.
And there's,
we go to this church.
I do beg your pardon.
I'm just trying to include everybody.
You just basically went to the pub,
a club,
a bar,
a pub,
a club,
a bar,
and a beach.
A sex club,
a sex club and a beach.
And I'm just thinking some of our lovely Christian listeners,
whatever your denomination is, heck, I'm not here to judge your imaginary friend.
You know, wherever you might go on the weekend.
Or you might just stay in your living room.
Or you might just stay.
Can I just, I want a side note on this.
Sidebar?
Sidebar.
Permission?
Yesterday someone said God bless to me.
Oh, really?
And.
They weren't saying jar bless?
No, they said God bless. Okay, yeah. Hit me with a God bless. God bless to me. Oh, really? They weren't saying jar bless? No, they said God bless.
Okay, yeah.
Hit me with a God bless.
God bless you.
And I said it back.
I said, oh, God bless you too.
And it felt quite nice.
Did they say it sarcastically?
Yeah, was that like a God bless you?
No, no, no.
Did you just sneeze?
They were Christians.
Guys, I didn't want to crowbar this in,
but I gave a guy some coins.
Okay?
And I like to keep my charity work private.
Wait, are you crowbarring in some charity here?
Well, this wasn't the point of it, but you need context
apparently. And yes, there was
a man asking for some help
with a sign, and so I gave him what I had.
And then he said, God bless you, ma'am.
Because I apologise for not having much.
Did you say, was God somewhat responsible
for the situation you found yourself in? Yeah, where's your God now?
Do you know what I mean? That sort of thing.
Would have got you a house.
Anyway.
God has blessed me
is what you could have said.
Unfortunately,
he seems to have skipped you.
I'm in a Mazda.
Anyway,
look at my silver Mazda.
If God's blessed me,
I'm in a falling to bits Mazda.
Oh, if Jesus came back tomorrow,
I have no doubt
he'd be in a Mazda.
He'd be in a fuel-efficient Mazda.
It's fuel-efficient. He'd have a hybrid. He'd be in a fuel efficient Mazda it's fuel efficient
he'd have a hybrid
he'd have one of them
big Mazda CX-9
so he could get the disciples
around because
the two
back seats fall down
that's the difference
between me and Christ
he'd have a spare tyre
you've got no spare tyre
I've got no spare tyre
and a burst speaker
and a bag of dirt
in the back
anyway
hit him with a goblets
and it felt nice
anyway
back onto the main point
what was it?
Oh yeah, so routine. So there's a great
idea that's doing the rounds
online. It's called the adult
field trip. Now if you think about a field trip.
I'm already on board. I don't need to hear anymore.
I love the idea of this.
But you do the whole thing. You know you think of a field trip
when you were like at primary school.
We're talking packed sandwiches and lunch.
We've got a little
bag or a box or whatever
with your packed lunch in it.
Say no more.
Got a little juice box, a little sandwich.
Maybe some pen and paper if we're taking notes.
We're taking notes, yeah, yeah, hell yeah.
Pen and paper, maybe backpack for the day,
got your water.
Hell yeah.
You got your sunblock, maybe you got a hat
and you head out into the city or wherever you live.
Wait, are we wearing a fluoro vest now?
Wait, are we going to like a factory
to see how bread's made?
Maybe. Or we're going to go to the aquarium.
We could go to a museum. We could
go and visit a historical site. We could.
We could book a tour around
the Chelsea sugar factory
or something like that and just have a little day out.
We could catch a train. You love trains.
You love the trains, don't you?
I love them. We love trains.
I saw trains on the news last night when they were testing the central rail loop.
I got so excited.
My kids are like, Dad, what's happened?
And I said, they're testing the central rail loop, kids.
Buckle up.
And they were like, you're such a noob.
And I said, shut up.
Go to your room.
So it is, though, you plan out how you're getting from A to B,
the time you're going to leave, the time you're going to come home.
You've got to take public transport.
It's not a field trip without public transport.
Yeah, unless you've got one of your friend's cars.
Oh, my mum's going to have to take time off work to take us.
I was going to say yuck, but your master's actually more yuck
than a public bus.
That guy that you gave coins to looked in your car
and gave them straight back and said, I need these more than you.
And he didn't say God bless, He said, God save us all.

Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly Little Pole is when you're watching the TV show The Chase,
who you're rooting for.
Do you want the chaser to win or do you want the contestant to win?
Because I see it, I quite like backing the chaser.
No, you're always a contestant.
I like it when there's a really clever contestant
with a couple of dum-dums
and they're doing all the heavy lifting
and the dum-dum's standing there
and they'll be like,
uh, me pass.
I'm like, no!
Did you see Michael McIntyre
interviewing Bradley Walsh,
the host of The Chase,
in bed?
No.
No.
Oh, I've got to show you.
So he's interviewing him in bed,
like surprises him in bed
and he's like,
what the hell's going on?
And they talk about the Fanny Schmeller.
Oh yeah, the Austrian skier.
You know, the Austrian skier
and Bradley lost his mind.
Yeah.
And then Fanny Schmeller shows up
and Bradley wants his picture up.
Oh yeah, I think I have seen.
It's so funny.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's very good.
Tell you what,
I like that Michael McIntyre.
I do, he's got a good laugh. I like that. I, always the contestants for me. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, it's very good. Tell you what, I like that, Michael McIntyre. I do. He's got a good laugh.
I like that.
I always the contestants for me.
Yeah.
Well, the results, we are...
90% of people want the contestants to win.
Yes.
10% want the chaser to win.
Now, we've heard from Sheila.
Sheila texts in when we set up this little poll.
So this is...
She circumnavigated the responses generally being an Instagram reply.
Yeah.
That's okay.
She said, it depends.
Sometimes the contest
is a complete knob
and I want them to be
annihilated and humiliated.
If it's someone sweet
or entertaining
or generally just a thickie,
I like them to win.
Yeah.
I almost went on
the chase myself
but the day they wanted me
to come on the show
was the day I was
moving back to New Zealand.
I could have won big.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you.
Forget about it, Sheila
and enjoy your weekend
yeah I would never
go on that show
oh I couldn't
you'd freeze up
and then you'd play
but the pressure
of an audience
and everything
I'd absolutely crumble
Aaron would be good
he's so good at like
Trivial Pursuit
and all that
he'd be so good
the pressure
when he handled
the pressure of everything
the timer
the lights and everything
it's all
it all plays into it
because what I love
is when we're watching
the chase
and he says the answer I also love to yell the answer I love, it's all... Because what I love is when we're watching the chase and he says the answer.
I also love to yell the answer.
I love that.
It's so much...
It's such a fun watch when he does that,
when he yells the answer just to show that he knows it.
That didn't sound genuine.
Yeah.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Mason says...
Oh, is that the courier?
Oh, sorry, I thought flowers were coming in.
Carry on.
Is that the flower?
Did it look...
Didn't you remind him it's Valentine's Day this morning?
Yeah.
When you woke him up?
Yeah.
You woke him up?
At 4am?
I woke him up and...
Oh, just say goodbye because I'm going away this weekend.
So to be fair, I am leaving for the weekend.
Yeah.
And I left and I was like, hmm.
And I hit him with a, happy Valentine's Day.
He's like, aww.
I was like, don't worry about it.
I left.
Stitched up. Mason said, neither.
I just like to watch to see how either
smart or more often dumb
that I am personally.
You've got to pick a side, Mason. It makes it more exciting.
Rachel, grinds my gears how it
takes longer for the contestants to answer because they have
to buzz. Then when he says their names
and then they're allowed to answer. Whereas
the chaser can just blurt out the answer immediately. I don't
think it's fair. Oh my god, that's so
spot on. Yeah. I've never thought
of that. Buzz, Jenny,
this. Yeah, but they also
don't want to be giving away tens of thousands
of pounds every day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're right.
Samantha, it changes depending on if I find the team
annoying. If they annoy me, I want the chaser to win, but
sometimes the team deserve to win. Yeah, right. Jessie, my stupid I want the chaser to win, but sometimes the team deserved to win.
Yeah, right.
Jessie, my stupid husband wants the chaser to win.
It's the only thing that makes me question my marriage.
What the egg is wrong with him?
My stupid husband.
I feel real bad when the chaser loses,
though I feel sorry for them.
I want them to win next time.
Because I feel a lot of the time they're throwing answers anyway.
Yeah, I think so too.
Do you? I reckon they haven't had an episode win for a while, so they'll be like, hey. I feel a lot of the time they're throwing answers anyway. Yeah, I think so too. Do you?
I reckon they haven't had an episode win for a while,
so they'll be like, hey.
Hey, dumb it, dumb it up.
The only chaser I never want to win is the Beast.
How bad is that?
I'm just like, I don't like him.
You don't like the Beast?
I like the Dark Knight.
I don't want him to win.
The Dark Knight.
What was his name?
The Dark Destroyer.
The Dark Destroyer.
Why was he in the Dark Knight as a movie?
It's the Batman movie.
The Dark Destroyer.
Yeah.
I like Jenny and the Irish guy.
Great.
The contestant, unless they take a minus offer,
they deserve to be caught and humiliated in front of everyone.
If you take a minus offer to get back to the thing.
Oh, disgusting.
You shouldn't take away anything.
In fact, out of your own pocket, you should pay them what the minus is if they win in the end.
The minus offer.
Get out of here.
Sam said, as someone who has been on the show and been caught in the final chase, I don't want any other contestants to win.
Oh, my God.
For them, the chase was over.
For them, the chase was over.
I've got to see Sam on the chase.
I don't think I've ever heard a Kiwi accent on the chase
Sam would probably send you a link
Yeah we'll reach out
We'll reach out
We'll get the link
Julie says
The contestant
Because I'm not a monster
Unless they're annoying
Then I am a monster
Man people really were quite invested
In this silly little poll
Weren't they?
It's one of our hottest ones yet
I will say
It's a great show
I always want the contestants to win
Unless it's the Irish fella
Because I'm so proud of him
Because he was a contestant once Yes he was And now he's a chaser That's always want the contestants to win unless it's the Irish fella because I'm so proud of him because he was a contestant once.
Yes, he was, yeah.
And now he's a chaser.
That's right.
Oh, so your loyalties are torn.
Yeah.
Jack says, if the chaser, they always get the easier questions.
I don't care about the set A or set B that they chose over the break.
That's bullshit.
They're giving them the easier questions.
Wow.
Passionate response.
And the panel, because who doesn't love an underdog, said Emma.
It's an absolute woohoo moment
when the contestants
get one over the chaser
we'll all scream
and yell
and pump our fists
I love it
it is such a good
it's such a simple
concept for a show
but shit it's good
I remember saying
to TVNZ
we should have a New Zealand one
and they're like
why the British one's so good
yeah
and we were like
yeah
because the Australian one's not
yeah
and the American one
was rubbish
yeah there's just something magic about that set up that silly little thing we love it And we were like, yeah. Yeah, because the Australian one's not. Yeah. And the American one was rubbish.
Yeah.
There's just something magic about that setup.
That silly little puka, we love it.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Very unfortunate fortune cookie event here. Okay, so there is a restaurant in Sydney.
It's a Vietnamese restaurant.
Okay.
And one of their little quirks.
Wait, do Vietnamese restaurants do fortune cookies?
I thought it was just Chinese.
Yeah, interesting, eh?
You can't call them that anymore.
Chinese restaurants?
Fortune cookies.
Whoa, God, what are we calling them?
Just cookies.
Messages in a pastry.
Red clairvoyant biscuits.
Yeah, right.
This is sure.
So yeah, it is a Vietnamese restaurant.
It's called Lady Chu.
And the owner owner she has
as part of her business she sells
bags of fortune cookies which she custom
orders to have
expletive profanity
laced messages on the inside. Fantastic.
I'll take a box. It's really
funny. I love them. Do you know
I've just googled fortune cookies often served
as a dessert in Chinese
restaurants in the US, Canada, Australia and
other countries, but they're not of Chinese in
origin. Where are they from?
Now, how long have we
worked together, you son of a gum?
It was been a fact of the day.
I don't remember everything you say.
It was before we even started working at ZM, so I'm
talking like at least 10 years ago.
But it's weird how I'll hear something and I'll be like, fact of the day.
And I can almost remember some of the fact of the day. Yeah. And I can
almost remember some of the fact of the days
I can remember where we were.
It's a bit like Tex-Mex, right? All the
Mexican food that was just... It's American.
You can't call it that anymore.
Or it's like butter chicken. That's...
You can't call it that anymore. No, tequila masala.
One of them's made in London. Anyway.
Beside the point, it's a Vietnamese restaurant. We've got
fortune cookies there. I don't know the cultural relevance
of all of this.
Okay, can we move on?
She custom orders from a factory
like profanity-laced fortune cookies
and I'm talking...
Oh, I love this.
Okay.
Not good
because she placed an order
for Valentine's Day
like all really funny things.
She comes up with them herself
and received an email
that said,
Hi, Najee, who's the business owner.
Happy New Year and hope you got a good break over the holiday season.
Unfortunately, we had some issues at the end of last year
where your messages were mistakenly mixed into another customer's orders.
These customers were rather upset to find these messages inside their cookies
and as a result, management have decided to no longer accept custom orders
with offensive or expletive words.
Now when we're talking expensive and expletive
here's some of them. Okay.
And I will say the full word.
I won't, don't you worry.
You are capable, so here's a light one. You are capable
of great things but all you do is look at your
phone all day. You won't be that great, sorry.
Hashtag Lady Chew. Now here's
another one. The year of the snake bears good
fortune. Your divorce is coming soon.
And here's my favourite one.
I only married you for your money, you ugly C word.
Wait, and so actually like other Chinese restaurants got these thinking they were like legitimate.
Yeah.
Like some kind of wise saying.
Yeah, at the end of their dinner.
A short message of sage advice.
Exactly.
And across town,
at maybe a Chinese restaurant,
someone's just finished their lovely dinner.
They're having a little pud.
They crack in this open
and it says,
I only married you for your money,
you ugly C word.
Like.
I want to go to this restaurant now.
Yeah, so do I.
I've always thought like Christmas crackers.
I always just so fine. If you bought naughty Christmas now. Yeah, so do I. I've always thought like Christmas crackers are always just so plain.
If you bought naughty Christmas crackers with some dirty jokes,
it may be like, that would be funny.
The person sitting next to your left now has to,
and like they have to do something.
A little game, a little like fuck-a-muck or something.
What?
It's the toy.
Hayley.
Okay.
Jesus.
Sodomy on Christmas?
It's Christmas.
The Lord's birth?
I'll give it a go.
Anyway. So she said now? It's Christmas. The Lord's birth? I'll give it a go. Anyway.
So she said now that she's still going to,
they're still going to do these custom orders,
but she's like,
I've got to work out how to be cheeky and funny
without using any of the swear words.
How do they get mixed up?
Just sort out the problem with how it got mixed up
and then no one needs to stop.
But they probably just scoop a whole lot of them
out of that thing, right?
I think that the, yeah.
Well, on Tuesdays we do the sweary ones and then all the other days we just do the boring ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
And then make sure they're all cleaned out on the Tuesday.

Happy Valentine's Day.
We are celebrating today and...
Couldn't I just say, people in the office, like, I just went out and someone was like,
Happy Valentine's Day.
Yeah, nah. It's not like happy New Year.
It's not New Year.
It's not.
I thought you were only saying it to the person that you wanted to like love.
Okay, that's what I was thinking.
Spread the joy, spread the love.
No, you're buying into it being a big holiday.
Oh, no, I'm not.
I'm not spending any money on the day.
I just like, I just like.
It's a traditional card giving present receiving for woman holiday.
That should be celebrated between a man and a woman or in Lily's case,
a man and a woman and a woman and a woman and a man and a man.
Well, hi, Lily.
Of course, I joke.
I truly am turning it into a big dramatic holiday.
Very big.
So thank you so much for talking to us, Lily.
We put up on our social media,
are you in a polyamorous setup?
Yeah.
Because we were just curious about how
someone with that relationship structure
celebrates something like Valentine's Day.
And so with respect and curiosity,
if you don't mind, Lily,
we want to ask you some questions.
Yeah, sure. Because what's your setup?
You are polyamorous and you have how many partners?
So I have two male partners and two female partners.
But one of the male partners and one of the female partners are in a couple, so.
So they are together. They are so. So they're together.
They're together. And you're involved
with them, but not with the other male and
female at the same time.
It's not like a, how do I put this?
It's not a quintuplet. It's not a web
where everybody's linked in a way.
You're the central character and they all link to you.
I mean, I'm the central character in my own life,
but yeah.
Because when I die, Lily, the world also stops it's crazy
yeah yeah
is this your first time
in a polyamorous
situation like this
so I actually spoke to
Fletcher Vaughan I think
a long time ago
three years ago maybe
three and a half years the same Wow. Three and a half years. Are the same people as
three and a half years ago or do you like, you're renowned in trade-ins?
So one of them, one of my male
partners I've been with for about a little over
four years and so he was involved. When
I last spoke to you, I was dating a man and
we were together for about two years and during that time I also started dating his
wife and so now I'm in a relationship
with his wife but he and I are just friends.
Wow!
So on a day like today, Valentine's Day,
who are you buying Valentine's presents for?
Well, I mean, I think it sort of depends on who you want to
in terms of polyamory in general.
So for me, I am having a picnic with one of my male partners tonight.
I'm aiming to send something to both of my girlfriends, but
it's a little bit complicated because one of them is travelling at the moment, so
I'm kind of trying to work out how I can pull that off. And then my
other boyfriend, I will probably just send a mildly saucy message.
Oh my God, Lily, I'm obsessed. So how do you schedule
Wait, where do you live?
What's the living set up?
So I don't live with any of my partners.
I am a single mum, so I live with my two kids.
My kids do know that I'm polyamorous and they know my partners
and they have quite close relationships with most of them.
So we'll travel sometimes together and things.
And my partners will come and stay with me
or I'll stay with them when my kids are not with me.
Do you have any spare time?
Yeah, how do you schedule this?
Being a parent, let alone like finding time to do anything else.
Yeah.
Legitimately, no.
No. Yeah. And is there ever? anything else. Legitimately, no.
That's kind of how I like my life,
full and busy.
Is there ever any fighting between
the partners that aren't
together? Is there any
jealousy or fights like,
he's getting more time or she's got this
and I don't?
Not so much that.
I mean, over the years there have been situations where there's been,
you know, like people are humans and sometimes jealousy does happen.
But not really in terms of time stuff. I mean, I find, generally speaking, for my relationships,
they kind of settle into the shape that they should be in.
So I spend probably about three nights a week with one of my male partners.
And then the couple that I'm dating, we generally see each other
probably every one to two weeks, depending on busyness,
and, you know, talk more frequently.
Throughout the day, yeah.
And I mostly see them together just because, yeah, time is limited. two weeks depending on busyness and you know talk more frequently throughout the day and i mostly
see them together just because yeah time is limited but we do also see each other separately
and then my other girlfriend i probably see about once a week okay somebody's just text in do you
have a favorite it's like it's like asking it's like a favourite child
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Clearly, I mean, clearly all of these people
Bring different and beautiful things into my life
Otherwise I wouldn't be dating
You wouldn't bother
Yeah
Do you have a big get together with all five of you?
Like on your birthday
Yeah
Yeah, I have had
I had a birthday party about I don't remember if it was last year or the year before,
and all four of them came.
Generally speaking, we don't all hang out together.
I think they've all met each other, but yeah,
everyone has kind of their own lives and their own social circles and things.
Okay.
So fascinating.
Honestly, Lily, it's so fascinating.
I mean, I just love this.
And I also, do you feel and notice that, you know, in this day and age that you're less
ostracised because of this life choice?
I'm pretty lucky in that I'm openly polyamorous with my children,
with other family members at work.
What do your parents make of it?
I think they just think I'm a bit ridiculous.
Because I remember I had a friend who had dated exclusively men
and then she got a girlfriend and she realised she was bisexual
and she told her mother and her mum,
lovely Samoan lady said to her, God, you're greedy, Emma.
Oh, just choose one.
Oh, you're so greedy.
Yeah, she would definitely think I was greedy.
A bit greedy, yeah.
Well, I just feel like we could honestly chat all day.
Yeah, thank you for sharing your Valentine's Day,
what your Valentine's Day looks like when you have two boyfriends and two girlfriends.
Yeah, happy Valentine's Day to you and all of your group.
Happy Valentine's Day to you guys too.
Thank you so much.
Same athletes.
Yeah, we are saying it.
I just think it's weird in the office.
Lily, I think it's weird in the office.
It's weird in the office to be like, happy Valentine's Day.
It's a Valentine's grudge. It's weird in the office. If someone's got more love to It's weird in the office to be like, happy Valentine's Day.
It's a Valentine's grudge.
It's weird in the office.
If someone's got more love to give, it's Lily.
She's got plenty of love to give.
We should be spreading it around.
Thank you so much, Lily.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
I just want to take this opportunity to thank my two genuine friends,
Fletch and Vaughan, for staying with me during this period of eyebrow grow out.
You never once mentioned.
I've always thought you've had really good eyebrows.
Yeah, but I was, I have.
And I, because my dad's of the Scottish genes,
he's always had a strong brow.
And as a kid, I hated them, right?
Because it was in the nineties.
Pluck, pluck, pluck.
Oh my God.
Pam Ann.
Pencil Finn.
Queen Stefan.
I was literally about to say,
how has she redeemed those eyebrows?
Because those things were.
Fake.
Yeah, probably money is the answer there.
Cash monies is how she's done that.
No, I do have good brows, but I've been growing them out,
waiting to get them done properly.
Okay.
And the mono, I mean, it just really had filled in.
I hadn't noticed, hadn't seen it.
It just shows how you're not really looking.
You're not really seeing me properly in this workspace.
What I'm taking from that is that you're not really looking enough.
I think what I think is happening is no one is a harsher critic
to themselves than themselves.
So you see a whole lot of things that no one else would ever notice.
And that's not just a female thing.
Men are the same.
Wow, that's really deep and profound, actually.
I think we could just sit with that.
No, but I've been letting them grow out
because I just wanted to get a good, like, fresh go.
But I really have been going, I need to get them done.
I need to get them done.
Yesterday I found the window.
So I popped to New Market and went to Westfield
where this brow place is.
And I went in there and
I trust it because it's an Indian woman
with a piece of cotton in her mouth.
That meant nothing to you guys.
No, I know what you mean. It's threading. I know what threading
is. I was like, the women
are like, this is the only way I want my
brows done is by an Indian woman. It hurts though.
Like hell.
Because a mate of mine once was like,
my Indian mate said the way to get it
Like perfect beard lines is to get it threaded
I was like you're mad
You're mad
I've had my like side burny bits
Like my face threaded before
Because when I was on Accutane you can't get waxing done
Or laser
And that's soft
Compared to like a beard
Oh no no no no, no.
Do they do the pubes at the mall?
They do actually.
They don't thread the pubes.
Imagine.
They do.
Ouch.
Individually put.
Like 90s epilators or something.
My mum did that.
Anyway, speaking of the 90s, I get into the chair and I lean my head back like this and I say, oh, darling, like you've got your work cut out for you.
You know, it's been a while.
And she was like, that's all good.
More painful. like you've got your work cut out for you you know it's been a while and she was like that's all good more painful and then she was like doing doing the threading and stuff which i just it's
so amazing how they do it and then she just goes oh bad bad bad bad bad and i was like
excuse me i love being insulted in a um beauty chair yeah like i love when i'm getting my brows
done and they're always like upper lip and chin and you're like, why, why, why, why?
But yes.
But okay, I mean, if it's there.
I love it, yeah.
The barbers that were doing my beard,
they'll be like, ears and brows?
I'm like, ears and brows?
Ears?
Oh, dude, yeah.
Unfortunately so.
Oh, here we go, dad.
Yeah, big daddy here.
Yeah.
No, she was like, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
And I was like, what?
She was like, bad plucking, bad plucking.
And apparently I have been over plucking the head of the brow,
like in the middle bit.
And she was like, it's patchy and it's not going to grow back.
And she was like, you've just done it too many times.
Well, what are you meant to do?
There's nothing you can do.
And then we got into this conversation.
She was like, you know what I see all the time?
Victims of the 90s.
And I was like, oh, my God, I totally understand.
She was like, all these, you keep calling them stupid women,
all these stupid women overplucking their eyebrows
and they never grow back.
And I was like, oh, yeah.
Women love calling other women stupid women.
They do, don't they?
Oh, yeah.
And they add this stupid woman.
Stupid woman.
That stupid woman. The amount of times I've heard my mum say that. Stupid woman? Oh, yeah. And they add this stupid woman. Stupid woman. That stupid woman.
The amount of times I've heard my mum say that.
Stupid woman.
Oh, my gosh.
Stupid cow.
Woman supporting woman.
Yeah, I love it, eh?
I love it.
Anyway, but we got this huge discussion about how, you know,
we just lean into these trends and we over pluck and she's like,
we'll never grow back and they're all coming in here desperate
for good bushy brows like yours and da-da-da-da-da.
We had a good yarn.
And then she's told me off.
She was like,
do not touch your eyebrows.
And I was like,
okay, I won't.
She's like,
even if they're growing in,
she's like,
don't you come and see me.
Oh, you've got to come and see me.
I love a come and see me.
I love come and see me.
You come back and you see me.
Yeah, yeah, I've got you.
I'll sort these out.
But who specifically?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You tell them to ask me.
If there's anyone I trust with my eyebrows,
it is an older Indian woman with a piece of cotton in her mouth.
Flawless.
Flawless service.
It's Valentine's Day today.
A day that I look forward to.
It's my favourite day.
I look forward to it every year.
Do you?
Yeah, we celebrate hard.
Always have.
Okay.
Land on the back there. Yeah, no. Was it? Yeah. we celebrate hard. Always have. Okay. Laying on the back there.
Yeah, no. Was it? Yeah.
I'm chill about Valentine's.
But beautiful
sexologist Morgan Penn
from sex.life, from her
work as a somatic sexologist,
she's in Studes to talk about
Valentine's Day. Are we getting
spicy this Valentine's Day?
How do we get spicy this Valentine's Day? How do we get spicy this Valentine's Day?
Well, I hope we are.
Like, that is my goal in life, right?
You hope that we're spicy every day.
Absolutely.
Bring in the spice, bring in the love, bring in the romance.
But I think the thing about Valentine's Day,
we don't want it to be an obligation.
It's commercial BS.
Yeah.
It's consumerism.
Yeah.
It's more about looking at it
like it's an opportunity.
That's a nice little spin
as opposed to a pressure.
Totally.
Yeah.
That is the thing.
It brings on
the expectations around it
is just ridiculous.
And I hear pressure,
you know,
that kind of pressure to perform
is great for people
in the bedroom,
isn't it?
Come on,
we've got to do it today.
We've got to do it today. That is the biggest turn on. Yeah, it's really great and helpful in the bedroom, isn't it? Come on, we've got to do it today. We've got to do it today.
That is the biggest turn on.
Yeah, it's really great and helpful.
But also we compare.
We compare what are other people doing.
And now with social media, we make it look like,
oh, look, I'm so loved and I've got this and I've got that.
And if someone isn't receiving that,
they think they're in a deficit.
And normally that's not true.
And some people do big grand gestures on a day like today
jewelry and then they shit the rest of the relationship yeah true so you know like we
need a bit of a reality check around the whole concept of valentine's day so you think that
seeing it is more of like a chance to maybe do something special like an opportunity as opposed
to like we have to do it because today's the day of love. And if we don't love each other today, then it's all a mess.
A hundred percent. And what I actually think is a nice thing to do is to start your own ritual
on a day like today, because we often don't take the time to reflect on the relationship or the
love. And that might be with yourself or with another person. But what I really see is one of
the biggest issues with my clients is they're missing each other
with communication.
We do not give words of affirmation enough.
And so one of the most beautiful moments you could have
to incite romance on Valentine's Day
is to tell each other what you like or love about each other.
Like Fletch, I love your generosity.
We're not Valentine.
And your smile.
And when you laugh,
your laugh means more to me than a hundred strangers' laughs.
Right.
Well, now Vaughn's jealous.
You're going to have to...
Vaughn,
you've got one heck of a rig on you.
And I tell you what,
those pull-ups,
they'd be pulling me up.
I'm pulling that for everybody.
See, I did one that was sort of deep
and one that was sort of surface.
Yeah, and then I think
I'd like to hear Fletch
give it back to you.
I think so too.
I like that sometimes you buy me coffee.
Like is not the word.
Like is not the word.
I like that you buy me coffee sometimes.
Oh my God, my heart is a flutter.
Yeah, thank you.
You're welcome.
Also on Valentine's Day, I want to go back to the origins of Valentine's Day,
which is, of course, the celebration of St. Valentine,
who was also the patron saint of epilepsy and beekeepers.
So I don't want it all to be about love and sex and romance today.
I want you to appreciate honey, pollination,
and people who suffer from debilitating epilepsy.
Epilepsy.
Yeah.
I almost couldn't say it.
Ellipses.
So no disco lights today.
Well, you could actually.
Or flashing television scenes.
Yeah, but you don't have epilepsy.
I don't, thank God.
Yes.
But you do have.
Bees.
Bees.
And a bee suit.
And a bee suit.
That I got $15 from Timu that I've tested and it worked good apart from two bees found
the tiny hole and snuck in.
Hot.
They snuck in, Morgan.
Oh, I like, no, I'm thinking more of the role play and snuck in. Hot. They snuck in, Morgan. Oh, I like,
no, I'm thinking more
of the role play
of the beekeeper.
This is what I'm thinking, Morgan.
He could combine
the sexy side
with the bee side.
There's nothing sexy
about beekeeping.
It's very good, honest work.
Bit of sting,
bit of pleasure,
pain and pleasure.
Pain and pleasure.
Honey's yum.
Honey, oh,
you little bit of dripping honey.
There's a queen,
there's a queen
and thousands of workers
that are just there to pleasure her.
Nothing sexier than thousands of workers
serving a queen.
Now Morgan, can I ask you
on Valentine's Day, a lot
of people are single.
And sometimes Valentine's Day can
kind of highlight that for them and it may
make them feel a bit sad. As you say, they're seeing all this
love around.
What can they do on Valentine's Day
to make,
if they choose to,
to make a nice day for them?
Yeah, I love that.
And do you know what?
I would say do something nice
the day before
so that you don't roll into the day
feeling a lack of,
like you've actually
filled your own cup.
And so do something,
buy yourself some flowers
or some delicious dessert
or something that feels luxurious
and nourishing to you
and you know we as a
society we preach about self love
but you know what does that really mean to you
what actually makes you feel good
and feel connected to your body
well a good self pleasure session might help
absolutely so I don't have to tell
this room twice no here we go
you're preaching to the choir over here
St Valentine's preaching to the choir we here, St. Valentine. St. Valentine's preaching
to the choir.
We're already singing that song.
We are the station
for it.
Well, I knew
if I asked you that question
you'd have an amazing answer.
As always, Morgan.
You're so great
and happy Valentine's Day to you.
Happy Valentine's, my love.
If you haven't listened
to the first seasons,
Sex.Life, the podcast,
are we getting a season three
this year?
That's a big question.
I actually got so many people. What about I've recommended
an episode. Yes you did.
Have you been brainstorming some ideas
for season three? He wants to get involved.
My For You page on Instagram suggested
something and I said to Morgan have you said this?

Another Hayley's version
That's right
Sell it
Well we're kind of
Talking about
Maybe a sexy evening
That I've got planned
Okay For my partner Also Friday Flashback Vaughan it's your pick today That's right. Well, we're kind of talking about maybe a sexy evening that I've got planned. Okay.
For my partner.
Also, Friday flashback, Vaughn, it's your pick today.
Are we still looking?
Well, there was a couple of options.
He's been poo-pooed.
Classic fledge poo-pooing.
We're too old.
He's poo-pooed it.
Hey, poo-pooed it's some classics.
No, I think you can do better as well.
I met someone from 2002 yesterday.
Okay.
They were born in 2002 when I say they were from 2002.
Man, you've got to stop doing this.
She was an adult with a job, which is impossible
because she must be five years old tops.
Report it.
She can't be working when she's 12.
Child labour law.
I want to go 2002.
Okay.
Great year for music.
Not really.
Not as good as other years around it.
Okay, well, Friday Flashback is coming up.
Good luck, babe.
Valentine's Day.
Well, I did, so my Hayley's version is about how I would spend my Valentine's Day if I was sticking around.
Yep.
But you've got a couple of comedy gigs tonight.
No, tomorrow I've got comedy gigs.
So I'm darting off early to spend a night with the bestie.
Galentine's.
I've just come up with that on the spot.
I think that's quite clever.
It's when you spend Valentine's Day with your gals.
Now, I'm going to trademark that.
I think you might be five years too late.
I'm doing Valentine's.
You go to the department store in Christchurch.
Yeah.
Wow.
What are you doing?
We spend it with the boys at Valentine's.
I'm doing Fallentine's.
You are doing Fallent Valentine's with my fella.
With a fellow, yeah.
Yeah, so.
So Vaughn is getting your Valentine's Day.
Well, I didn't think so at first, Fletch.
But so Vaughn is going over to help Aaron at our property.
We've got a Wath problem.
Aaron messaged me saying, can I borrow your bee suit?
Yeah.
Now you'll remember this bee suit.
Well we just talked about it.
That's kind of what got us onto it.
It was a Timu bee suit. Now Aaron you may also remember 6 foot 6 and it's
all in the leg. Yeah and so I was
like my bee suit will cut you in half from the
balls up basically. I'm more
than happy to don the suit
and come around because I love these
my sorts of things.
Killing wasps.
I hate wasps.
So they're in the hedge.
Oh, my God.
They're everywhere.
But, yeah, and now we've got a big hedge along the fence line,
and it's swarming.
And as someone who has put a hedge trimmer through a wasp's nest before,
they don't like it.
No, they don't like it.
Well, could you imagine a giant saw coming through the middle of your house? It would upset me greatly if I was living there with thousands of members of my family.
Yeah.
So Aaron invited you over, obviously not thinking it's Valentine's Day.
It kind of was a floating date.
I said, we'll see how the week goes.
And I'm like, actually, you know, I reckon we get it done Friday.
Because you may remember I mentioned earlier,
I woke up Aaron this morning to say goodbye because I'm popping off to Wellington.
I gave him a kiss and I was like,
give him a chance, give him a chance.
As I left, I was like, happy Valentine's Day.
He was like, oh no, happy Valentine's.
So he forgot.
So now he's spending Valentine's Day with you,
but he's made it weird.
It was good.
He's like, when so?
So I said, well, let's do it later in the day
because they calm down like bees and wasps.
They calm down a bit towards the evening.
Wait, so you're going to wait until they're relaxing and chilling
and then you're going to genocide them.
I'm not going to cut their house in half.
It's genocide.
What I'm going to do is, depending on if Aaron got that,
I also am bringing around my LPG-powered flamethrower.
Please don't.
We just finished building the house.
We just finished building the house. We just finished building the house.
This is...
My granddad used to do this. Yeah, of course they are.
Dude, if you run that hedge...
We're going to have an ugly fence. But I'm just saying, if we are
attacked and backed into a corner, we'll have no
choice but to flamethrower our way out.
Oh my god, help me.
Fletch, can you go over? A cheap
Timu bee suit, which I imagine is highly
flammable. Oh yeah, like how you tried to say that the gloves that came with it are genuine leather.
Genuinely goose.
We felt it.
I was like, I can see the grain from the machine anyway.
So I said to Aaron, we were just going over some particulars, and he said, sweet as, and
I'll take you out for dinner afterwards.
He's so odd, eh?
Well, no, I get that.
It's his way of saying thank you.
Which I don't mind.
Hit the pub afterwards and have a couple of brews, my boy.
I'll take you out for dinner afterwards.
Also, he doesn't realise it's Valentine's Day
and it's just going to be surrounded by couples
and then you two are going to look like this confusing,
big, massive gay dudes.
Well, easy on yourself, Aaron, yeah?
What are you wearing?
Am I the bottom?
You're wearing lift shoes?
No, it's always the one you least expect.
So I think he's the bottom.
Plus, there's no way that thing's going near my bottom.
So I said, it's all good.
We're doing Friday

where we only eat

Vaughan Smith.
Yep.
It's Valentine's Day.
It's February 14 and lots of people are single and some of them are ladies.
So today's Friday Flashback is a lazy choice.
Also, not from 2002, like I said before.
Not one of the top five songs that I suggested
because Fletch is like, wasn't a hit on radio.
He forgets he's dealing with the postman.
I always deliver.
You wanted to play Puddle of Mud.
I wanted to play Puddle of Mud.
She hates me.
Because I thought it's funny. Terrible song.
It's an anti-romance song. Terrible song.
Great song. Do you know what? I wanted to play
Take That, Want You Back for Good,
because I thought it might be a good way for people to...
You poo-pooed that.
Now, Vaughn, you may remember that at some point,
Fletch has a little surgery and he needs to get his shoulder fixed.
You and I have gone rogue, bro.
Oh, yeah.
I won't have a day off for that.
I'm not a...
I'm not a...

About Kyle Fletcher You're a piece of shit, Carl Fletcher.
You're a piece of shit. I come up with these songs
that people haven't heard for a while.
Last night, I said to you guys, what about
Breakfast at Tiffany's? So I said, what about
Great Singalong? Great energy going to that.
Too old. And then I'm like,
Puddle of March F and Hates Me. Fletcher's like,
Not a hit for our
demographic. You should do Fletch the next one. You should do
one of the songs he suggested.
I don't want to do it anymore.
I'm packing a sad.
I don't want to do it anymore unless I get to pick.
Put your fist down.
Don't you hit your brother.
I'll hit him.
Don't you hit your brother.
I'm going to hit him, Mum.
Put your fist down.
No, Mum, he keeps ruining the fun.
And then when it goes to shit, he says that it was my choice and it wasn't my choice.
He packs his head, doesn't he?
He's packed a real sad.
It's embarrassing watching a man your age have a tantrum.
I'm going to pack a real sad.
This is what happens when he loses board games, too.
Oh, yeah, well, that's why we don't play.
I'm going to swear.
I'm going to swear.
I'm going to say a swear word.

I'm gonna hit him

Okay
I birthed him
So you could have a friend
You did
Put him back in
I can't
He's too big now.
Happy Valentine's Day.
So as we've talked about on the show,
I am not spending Valentine's Day with my partner, Aaron.
Vaughn is.
Vaughn is.
And Aaron wants to take him out for a meal.
That's nice.
Just bless him, eh?
Bless him.
Anyway, I've written a song
A version of a very popular song at the moment
By Gracie Abrams
And I've written a song of
I don't know
This may be a little bit racy
For 8 o'clock
I thought you said racist for a minute
I don't know man
Wait wait wait
This is about to get a little racist This could be a little racy I thought you said racist for a minute, and I was like, I don't know, man. Imagine you guys are like, wait, wait, wait, check it, check it. Wait, wait, wait, what's it about?
This is about to get a little racist.
No, this could be a little racy,
but this is how I think my Valentine's evening with Aaron
would have gone if I was home.
Now, it's a real quick start.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
This is my sexy Valentine's Day plan.
I just got home.
It's Valentine's Day
and I want to show you
how much I care.
You get in bed
and I'll take a shower.
Told you it was sexy.
Good.
I stand by the door
wearing nothing more than a towel and a dirty look on my face.
You've dimmed the lights.
I've shaved my legs.
Smooth.
I climb into the bed.
Even made sure Raleigh's fed.
Retainer is out.
I'll fill your desires, but let's be quick cause I'm tired.
It's been a long day, but it's Valentine's, so we probably should do it because of that.
You didn't buy flowers, that's totally fine. We've been together for
so much time. Let's totally connect. I'm super keen and I'm ready. I thought about nothing Unless you're also feeling tired. Oh, you're sleepy too.
Thank God.
Not that I didn't want to make some love.
I'm just a little uninspired.
I'm less horny, more tired.
We'll do it tomorrow.
Totally fine. Who even cares about Valentine's? I'm not in the mood. tired We'll do it tomorrow, totally fine
Who even cares about Valentines?
I'm not in the mood, we don't have to bone
I just wanna lay and play on my phone
Actually tomorrow I am away
How are you looking on Sunday?
Dinner with parents, oh yeah that's right
We'll totally do it on a night
Oh great, have a good sleep
Old mate, and if I snore please feel free to leave me
The spare room has clean sheets long-term life can you roll on your side. Now can you just be still and be quiet?
Because I love you, but I'm tired.
That is how my Valentine's evening would go
if I'm being honest after 14 years.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Whether you're getting it or you're not.
To those that celebrate.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Cost of living crisis
is, it's everywhere.
It's unavoidable, but sometimes we still like
a little shop, right? So
there is a money expert
who has given a bunch of shopping tips
and one of them I think is actually a really great
rule. So if you are
thinking of something that you want to buy
and I'm not talking about essentials like your groceries.
Do not apply that to this.
But your wants, clothes or whatever.
After pay.
Now, there's some bad advice.
No, not clock it up.
It is if you, so say you want to buy something and it's $230.
Jesus Christ.
I don't know what it is.
What is it?
It's a barbecue accessory.
Not for $230.
Okay, just play the game.
Okay, how much is it?
Okay, you've got a $180 weed whacker.
Okay, but the weeds need to be taken down
and I'm buying quality to ensure longevity
and that is a practical thing that benefits us all
because it makes the property look nicer.
It is a ginormous, like bigger than you've ever seen,
Land Rover Lego.
And it is the size, it's a meter by meter.
Okay, now we're talking.
Okay?
And let's just say to buy this,
how much would that cost?
$300?
No, it'd be more than that
$500. Probably even more
I'm going to say $600
I'm just going to say it's $600
I would simply not buy it
Let's imagine
we're in a world where you would
so $600 and you see that you're like
I simply must have
Oh my god I need that, that's my passion
I'm into that.
So far, consumerism seems to be the problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It always is.
600 bucks, you would wait six weeks before purchasing it.
So it's not that you're not buying it.
If it was $200, you'd wait two weeks.
Two weeks.
If it was $300, three weeks.
If it was $470, we'd go five weeks.
We're rounding up.
We're going up and down like that. And if it's $1,000,. If it was $470, we'd go five weeks. We're rounding up. We're going up and down like that.
And if it's $1,000, one week.
Yeah, we go back.
Oh, you go back to ones.
Or 10 weeks.
You don't just keep hiking it.
So if I see a $10,000 thing, one week.
Because if you're like, oh, I'd love a new car, it's $50,000.
Are you waiting 500 weeks?
Yes.
Okay, so you're waiting 10 years to buy a new car.
Arguably, you'd say a new car is an essential purchase.
Yeah.
Right?
But like something that you didn't need, you just wait.
Right.
And it gives you time.
No, no, you summed it up better by saying it's something you didn't need.
Okay, you don't need it.
Shut up.
I've got an example.
There's a jacket and it's $200.
No, no, we said we weren't.
We're not going to talk of that.
Imagine there's a jacket that you really want, Hayley.
Is it like quite similar to other jackets that she's got that she never wears?
She's got like four.
I'm just assuming gender here.
This one has studs.
Okay, so it's got a few more studs than all the other jackets she has.
You see this jacket.
Say, for example, you were at the mall yesterday after you got your brownstone.
You see this jacket.
You would be waiting.
You waited for a T-shirt that you didn't really need.
Okay.
You would be waiting two weeks to buy this jacket
or maybe even longer.
Or you could, it's for the individual.
Why is your voice breaking?
Just relax.
It could be for the individual.
This is a hypothetical situation.
We're not going to talk about that jacket I bought you today.
Right.
We're not.
We're talking about a hypothetical situation.
Well, I think for that individual, it could apply.
It could be maybe I needed to wait two minutes or two hours.
But you did.
Again, hypothetical.
Let's give this fake individual a name.
Kaylee, for example.
Okay, so Kaylee individualizes the shopping rule.
Did she wait even two minutes?
She tried it on for at least four.
So that's waiting.
I didn't go, she didn't, sorry, slip there.
Kayleigh didn't go into the shop, see the jacket,
and go, oh, bye, bye, bye.
Lifted it up, held it up, felt the quality of the leather,
went to the mirror, tried it on.
That feels like bye,bye-bye to me.
Asked for a different size.
Oh, how many left in the country?
Two, you say?
Well, I must have.
So that was at least 20.
So maybe she took the price rule to be, yeah.
20, right.
I think just work the money spending rule how it works for you, the individual.
Wait, because you started this break saying there's a shopping rule and I think it really
makes sense and I really like it.
And now you've just said make it work for however you want it to work.
That's not how rules work.
That's kind of girl-mathing, isn't it?
I didn't scroll down in the article, Vaughan.
That's what happened from this money expert.
They are right.
It said at the end, if the one week rule doesn't apply, I'm tapping the words as I'm saying
them.
Either you're making them up or you're tapping the string
to make it look like they're there when they're not.
I'm just reading slowly so it's clear.
If the one week rule does not apply to you,
feel free to improvise the rule
and use a different time system.
AKA, for example, one minute or one hour
rather than one week.
And for others, it might be one month.
Okay, great.
Yeah, so there's your money spending Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah.
So there's your money spending rule.
Where did a money expert go and unravel everything they've done
in that last what sounded like completely made up sentence?
Well, I'm not going to pull it apart.
I'm not a money expert.
They are.
And that's what I've read and I've just relayed it to the people.
Right.
Can't wait to go out with you and your brand new jacket.
So I can't wait to take it out.
And the absolute sweltering heat we're experiencing.
Yeah, for the three days of winter we get in Auckland.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Well, you'll remember here at Fact of the Day.
Wait, you really got your radio voice on.
Well, I'll tell you what you'll remember at the start of the week.
We gave a big shout out to Johnny Martin.
I said, Johnny, big dog.
He came up with the Fact of the Day theme, which is shellfish.
Lovely.
He has messaged me.
Actually, in giving you that theme, he wasn't that shellfish at all. He was messaged me. Actually, in giving you that theme,
he wasn't that shellfish at all.
He was being very generous.
Laugh out louder, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
We laugh out louder.
Six till nine weekdays.
Good.
He said, I've taken a break from my ritalin
And
Moved my hyper focus from my assignment
On diabetic foot ulcers
To lobsters
This is again from Big Dog
My new best friend
He's not shrimping on the facts
Monday to Friday
Laugh out loud.
Whoa.
You've had one.
You've had one.
That's two.
Two.
That's all right.
It's all right.
It was all right.
It was all right.
I was going to say you're really clamming it up.
And I wasn't sure people would know it was like hamming,
clamming.
I thought there was too much difference between the two.
Anyway, I've got to move on to lobsters very quickly
because today's fact of the day is lobsters urinate out of their face.
Ooh, see, now I was just imagining garlic butter, lobster.
I just went, I just went, I just went.
They urinate on their face.
I'm like, no, it's a no from me.
You've got to drain.
I don't know this because I love this.
I don't know this.
I don't know this.
Look at me in the eye.
So did my face.
I don't know this, but you've got to get the pee out of the lobster.
So is there urethra?
Release the urine.
Is there urethra, like, in the nose?
The bladder sits under the brain.
It's so inconvenient.
What a horrible place.
But, okay, this is why it's happened. Because lobsters are kind of front heavy.
Yes.
The tails are for swimming.
They're for eating.
But the lobster, and it backs under rocks,
so it's got those claws and it's ready to go.
And its urine contains pheromones that lets lobsters either know,
let's fight or let's do something else.
It starts with that.
So let's smooch a roo.
But they back under rocks, so they've got their pincers ready.
So they need to be able to shoot out their communication
because they don't have vocal cords.
So if they want to hook up with someone, they piss on them.
They piss on their face.
Oh, my God.
Correct.
I mean, we're not here to yuck anyone's yum, but not for me.
No.
Well, to our lobster listeners, I say, you know, that's fine.
I'm not going to judge.
I'm not going to judge at all.
So they release it.
They release it to let people know.
People.
Let other lobsters know.
The male lobsters.
Just people walking past on the bottom of the ocean.
This is my territory.
So right out the face.
This is my territory.
It might be like, we're going to fight now to a male walking past.
Yeah.
Or it releases
a different pheromone to say, ladies
the shag and shack
is open and then it backs under the rock
and then the female lobster comes to the door
and piddles.
She returns the urine.
She kind of
squirts it under the rock there
and the pheromones in her urine
relaxes the male.
Oh, my God.
Sort of roofiesome of sorts.
I hope none of them have had a Barocca.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Or asparagus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, ironically, some people, like asparagus,
claim after eating lobster, their urine will smell.
Oh, really?
Yeah, smell different.
Side fact.
Side fact there.
Interesting.
So then the urine in the pheromones lets the male know she's ready.
He chills out, puts on a little music.
Let's get it on.
And she comes into the den at which stage she removes her exoskeleton.
What?
Sorry?
Sorry?
No.
She gets naked.
She takes off the shell.
Oh, my gosh.
My goodness.
How very queer.
My goodness. This got hot in there all of a sudden. Oh, my gosh. She was completely the shell. Oh my gosh. My goodness. I'm very queer. My goodness.
This got hot in there all of a sudden.
Oh my gosh.
She was completely derailed.
She undresses and strips naked in order to make.
To what?
What does she look like?
Well, I assume the same.
Why don't the scuba divers get them then so we don't have to de-shell them?
Do all the shelling.
Do all the shelling.
Just bring me the meat.
Also, lobsters are like crabs.
They shed their exoskeleton
and you know soft shell crab is just
effectively grabbing a crab after
it sheds its shell before it forms its human
heart.
If it's ever on the menu, I always get it.
Because it's my treaty.
It is a treaty.
Did you hear a white man say that's his treaty?
Wow, and he's talking about soft shell crabs.
My treaty is tetitite-te-tee.
Yeah, well, I honour the treaty.
I honour the treaty by seeing soft-shell crab and ordering it.
I honour the treaty.
No, no, you've said what your treaty is.
Yeah, wow.
Soft-shell crab.
And I believe it's taking your seafood.
Yeah, it is actually taking my moana.
Yeah, my kai moana.
Excuse me.
There was an exchange of goods.
Well, thanks for the blankets, bra.
Yeah.
Absolutely riddled with bedbugs.
You're most welcome.
Hey, you know what else we gave you?
Some STDs.
What are you going to do?
Come on.
Let's party.
Let's have some crayfish.
I can't find a photo of the female lobster, you know,
naked, basically.
Yeah, well, she does.
She gets completely naked under that rock,
and then the mating happens and then
she hardens up again
okay
wild hey
so today's fact of the day
and the last for

Today's Fact of the Day.
Is that lobsters urinate out of their face?
Fact of the Day.
Day, day, day, day. play ZM's flesh born in Haley we want to destroy the love and romance
of Valentine's Day it's all about
celebrating love but yesterday we talked to
Cassie from Venus Investigations
amazing chat about
how she catches cheaters and the creative
ways they go about it
and this one in particular blew our minds
people are like using the notes app
on your iPhone where you can create a shared
note with someone and you can delete it add pictures add a password so that's a real big one we're finding lately I know most
people aren't even aware like your partner's cheating you might check their messages you
might check their whatsapp you're not going to check their notes app I mean I gasped then and
I gasped still creative I didn't even know this was a possibility but and it doesn't work because
you tried we tried to set one up yesterday.
I did.
I've started one.
I keep putting it up.
It's a bit finicky.
You can do it though.
You can.
I've got one with my mum and my brother and stuff.
And everyone can kind of eat it.
You cheated on your mum?
No, it's just a cobbloaf recipe that we always sort of forget.
So we just have a shared note with it at all times.
I thought you might have had it like another mum.
Yeah, were you cheating on your mum with another mum?
Yeah, me and Sam got another mum.
Oh no, Patsy was slacking.
Imagine finding that out. As a mum. We went out seeking another mum. Yeah, me and Sam got another mum. Oh no, Patsy was slacking. Imagine finding that out.
As a mum.
We went out seeking another mum.
We got adopted.
So we thought we would, this just fascinated us.
So we thought we would expand on this today.
Yeah.
And we put up a question box on our Instagram last night
and already some of the responses were quite juicy.
So we asked how did they create.
Some of them are real bad though.
Some of them aren't creative.
Okay, great.
No.
How did they creatively cheat was the question.
Yeah, like were they messaging on another app or...
Because, you know, your Snapchats, your WhatsApp,
your Facebook Messenger, your emails,
like those are the common ways you're going to get caught.
Well, there are like online games that you could play
with other people with messaging.
Yeah.
If there's a game with a messaging aspect,
that is a way you could chat to someone without getting caught.
Or we throw to our gamer friend Vaughn.
Yeah, so you would use like the headset chat function
and be like, oh, I'm just going to go play Call of Duty.
Or like just any basic games.
With a chat function.
Yeah, you can even download fake apps that look like games
that are messaging.
What?
That's next level.
Just leave the person you're with.
Anyway, we're not judging.
We're actually not judging.
Well, we're going to take some calls.
Yeah.
But shall we start with some Instagrams now?
Yeah, I reckon kickstart.
0800-966.
How did they creatively cheat?
Strava was how I found out about it.
That's a running app.
Need to know more. So you can, if you're part of a Strava was how I found out about it. That's a running app. Need to know more.
So you can, if you're part of a Strava community,
you can, sorry, I'm a runner.
Me jumping in, literally can't run 5K.
You can send encouraging notes.
You know how you always message me after my workouts?
You got it, girl.
Because I get a notification,
hey, we just finished a workout,
and I always get a reply and pick the top one
that's user generated.
Oh my God, I turned all of those off.
Oh, then you're missing out. No, I'm trying to reply and pick the top one that's user generated. Oh my God, I turned all of those off. Oh, then you're missing out.
No, I'm trying to encourage my friend.
Yeah.
Okay, that's good.
Yeah.
But you could write anything.
So instead of saying like,
you go for it,
within the Strava app,
you can be like,
well done.
Let's meet at my house.
Or could it be like,
you shared a run
and you saw that they ran
and then they had a 25 minute break
at a stop.
Is that sort of how it works?
No, I don't think you can live track them.
It's not.
Oh, not live track,
but they might send you the summation of their run.
Yeah.
And be like,
does that mean that you're at this park right now?
Because maybe I'm also going to be going for my run.
Oh, I see.
That's good.
Juicy.
Jesus.
Can you all just get a hobby?
Like, get a job.
Get busy, you know?
The devil makes work for idle hands.
You only live one life.
Okay, we'll go through some more of these messages next.
You can add to the list.
0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696.
Oh!
I'll kick you off on another one.
Private story on Instagram just for that person.
So you know how you can do ones for just close friends.
Oh my God! and they have only
them selected as close friends.
And then it just explodes. That's risky.
Because isn't
close friends right next to the story?
Yep.
So I'm going, I'm taking a hot pick.
It doesn't need to be a hot pick, it could just be a message.
Yeah, okay, okay, okay.
That you delay. Oh my god, this is wild.
Okay, 0800, dance us an MSN number,
call us,
you can text in 9696.
How creative did they get?
So a private investigator
we spoke to yesterday
said that she has caught clients
using Shared Notes,
the Notes app.
And a lot of very creative ways.
It's not always the obvious ways.
It's not like just a text.
We have had a few texts
from people being like,
I'm actually kind of disappointed
at how lazy my husband
was at cheating on me.
Very cliche.
I'm like, oh.
Like kind of like
they wanted to be cool.
Yeah, think outside the box.
We're asking you
what were the creative ways
that they cheated on you?
I'm loving this show so much.
Georgia just walked into studio
and I don't want her
to go on to her show.
I just want to keep going.
I want to keep going for hours.
You're going to hijack her show.
Yeah.
Well, we've had some more Instagram responses.
Said they were doing a 12-hour work shift,
but going to the side piece on the side.
Got away with it for four weeks.
Wasn't working 12 hours at all.
Was working eight.
Was working a standard eight.
Standard eight.
Wow.
Here's the one that really got me.
Emails with white text.
So initially it couldn't be seen.
It just looked like a short, blunt email
in black text.
So you wrote high
in regards to this
regards Hayley.
And then underneath that
highlighted
it was white text
on a white background
so invisible
until it was highlighted.
That's like invisible ink.
The lemon juice.
Yes, and lemon juice
or something.
That is like wild.
Oh my God.
I was cheated on.
She cheated on me
with her gay best friend.
Turns out he wasn't very gay at all.
Also got pregnant to him and tried to pin that on me.
Wait, so the guy would then pretend to be gay.
So that's why they're hanging out.
So that's why they're hanging out.
Yeah.
Google Docs wrote love letters to his best friend's sister while we were together.
How about this one?
Making up fake clients for our business and sending them flowers to say thank you. Okay, Anonymous joins us. Anonymous, how was the creative
way that they were cheating? Hi, my ex's mistress, she made a fake Facebook profile
under the name of his best friend. Oh my God, so when they were messaging. Right. So when they were messaging, you'd be like,
oh, well, he's just messaging his friend.
I won't even look at that.
Yeah.
And then when they were meeting up, I was like,
oh, yep, you're meeting up with your best mate.
All good.
Oh, my God.
Steve's like, want to hit the pub tonight?
Yeah.
And it's not Steve.
It's a woman pretending to be Steve.
There's two Steve accounts.
Yeah.
How did you find out?
Did you actually go into the messages and you were like,
hang on a second? Oh, his best mate called me one night and he was just like, oh, have you find out? Did you actually go into the messages and you were like, hang on a second.
Oh, his best mate called me one night and he was just like,
oh, have you seen him?
And I was just like, he's with you.
Oh.
Didn't think that through.
Shabu, you're a roll call.
Yeah, no, anonymous.
Thank you.
Hayley, what was the creative way that they were cheating?
My ex was playing a game called 5M.
Right.
And it's a modded version of GTA Online.
So it's all role play games.
It's pretty much like real life stuff,
but in a game.
Okay.
You can do your job.
Right.
And he, yeah, he played a person in a gang
and he was often going to the emergency because he got help and stuff.
Yeah.
And it was a moment where he called the EMS girl Little Missy,
and I was right next to him, and I was confused.
And then when he got off his PC, looked on discord because with discord you can actually
click the x so like the messages isn't completely deleted but they're deleted off the list
right it's not unless you search for that person oh yeah the message was there jesus how confusing
i've been on discord and i'm nice i'm stillley, wow. Okay, thank you. What about the bank transfers one?
Someone messaged in how they were creatively cheating
and organising their shenanigans
was they would do a bank transfer for one cent
and account name, you know, fees and reference
and the statement was the address and what time and where to meet.
So you'd be like, particulars, this park or this hotel or this place.
Yeah, this time.
That is wild.
Reference, oh my God.
That is out of control.
So many messages coming in.
Keep them in on text.
Vaughn, get into it.
Just work through these texts.
Did you see the one that just came in?
I want to stay anonymous.
We're talking about ways to cheat.
My exes must take the cake.
He broke down
and told me he had
a drug problem
that he'd been keeping secret.
Oh, that's awful.
We arranged $15,000
for him to go
to a private rehab
while I was pregnant
with our second.
Turns out,
what we paid for
was for him
and his other girlfriend
to go overseas
for a holiday.
Oh my God!
What a dirtbag!
Because it explained
his absence
and there's that time
where you first go into rehab
where you just need to focus on yourself and stop the outside stuff.
You can't talk to outside people.
That's an abuse of power.
That's awful.
Where did they go for $15,000?
I don't know.
Imagine.
Telling someone you've got a problem with an addiction.
We got onto this because a private investigator we spoke to yesterday
told us that a way she's caught cheaters is the Shared Notes app.
Shared Notes app on your iPhones.
We want to know the creative ways that you've caught cheaters
or that they've been messaging.
There's so many messages.
I know, so many.
He used to cheat on me for one and a half years.
He was just driving her to training and would do things.
Oh, my God.
There's so many coming in.
I don't understand.
Like, just leave your current relationship and be with them.
Yeah, yeah.
My ex was on call after work every second week.
The call-outs seemed to be getting more and more frequent.
I was none the wiser until we were out over Christmas
on a family camping trip with our kids about 40 minutes from town,
and he'd be on the phone multiple times,
but walk away to talk.
Then he kept going back and forth to town saying,
we need this and we need that, thinking he was smart.
Turns out he was meeting up with her at our house
while we were on holiday,
and seemed to conveniently forget we had security cameras.
Not the smartest.
Oh my gosh.
He probably put them in too.
Yeah.
When we were at, he used to skip study and tell university that his pregnant partner had an appointment.
I was the partner.
Yeah.
I wasn't pregnant.
And I thought he was at university, but he was cheating on me.
Oh, God.
Don't do that.
Hey, guys, I did just try the white text email.
It was completely blank.
We could say anything.
Do you just remember it is still written down?
The moment you highlight it, you're like, oh.
It's all there.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Some wild messages.
I know.
Honestly, some of them we can't even read out because it's a little bit wild.
But it's absolutely blowing my mind.
I just couldn't be bothered.
Who's got the time to do this?
Now there's another list of things you need to check
if you ask us.
Okay.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Yeah.
I went into a Snapchat and I went to sync contacts
and all of a sudden all the snaps that were from guys' names
updated to be from girls.
Oh!
How does that work?
So you can rename them on Snapchat, right?
He was renaming the girls as guys.
But still had the contacts for the girls in his phone,
like in his contacts, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but you can have them in there.
I mean, I could have Martin Brown or something. Aaron doesn't know who that is,
but I'm messaging Jennifer Lawrence on Snapchat.
I'd use a not celebrity name.
Yeah, right.
Okay, so that updated him.
So then she's saying he's been messaging all these girls.
Oh, my God.
Wild, wild.
Now, again, the gender thing.
It's interesting when we talk about these topics
because we're really seeing an imbalance in gender here, aren't we?
What was the one we talked about the other day
and the guys were like,
oh, why are you fighting with your partner this week?
Was that the one?
And then all the guys were like, man.
And a guy messaged us saying we're hearing from a lot of women.
We're hearing from a lot of women about what guys are doing wrong.
We're still hearing from them today.
And we're hearing from the women now
about how guys have been cheating on them. I'm not saying women
don't cheat. Okay. Friday
jams are coming up. Georgia Burt.
Yes. Is it going to get you in the mood
for your weekend? Guys, I am like
ain't nothing going to bring me down today. Tell everybody
what you're doing this weekend. I got my bloody hands
dirty. So Christchurch, look out.
Look out. You don't
have to tell us exactly what you're doing. I don't know.
I don't know anything.
A surprise.
It's epic.
I love this,
because everything else in life we have control over,
but nah, I've got no idea.
You like the unknown.
Yeah, I love it.
So all I know is that the mums and I,
and my sister,
are going out for brekkie,
and then I'm getting my makeup done,
ooh la la,
and then that's it.
That's all I know.
What's your vibe with your friend group?
We're going classy or trashy.
It'll be half-half.
From my best mates.
Is there going to be another stripper?
Because remember you showed us that stripper from that hen's den.
We were like, oh.
If he makes a return, I think I'm going to be like,
not anyone but him.
Leave your pants on.
Count on to leave his pants on this time.
Yeah, the pants.
Or, you know.
Don't pose in the photos with her.
Okay, if you had to rate, review, or marry Fletch, Vaughn or Hayley,
what one would it be?
Okay, I would marry Hayley.
I would have sex.
Wait, which one is it?
No, no, no, no.
It's only rate, review, marry.
Oh, okay.
No comment.
I'd have sex with the podcast.
I don't know how that would work.
Give us a sexy little review, though.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
