Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:02:57 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,
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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.
Starting point is 00:03:54 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.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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.
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:44 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.
Starting point is 00:04:55 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, 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,
Starting point is 00:05:21 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.
Starting point is 00:05:32 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?
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:52 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.
Starting point is 00:06:08 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
Starting point is 00:06:23 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
Starting point is 00:06:37 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 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.
Starting point is 00:07:26 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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:54 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
Starting point is 00:08:04 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?
Starting point is 00:08:19 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
Starting point is 00:08:31 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
Starting point is 00:08:41 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.
Starting point is 00:08:58 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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
Starting point is 00:09:27 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.
Starting point is 00:09:41 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,
Starting point is 00:09:48 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
Starting point is 00:09:56 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.
Starting point is 00:10:06 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.
Starting point is 00:10:22 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.
Starting point is 00:10:33 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,
Starting point is 00:10:43 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,
Starting point is 00:10:54 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?
Starting point is 00:11:07 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...
Starting point is 00:11:20 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.

Starting point is 00:12:12 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.
Starting point is 00:12:21 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?
Starting point is 00:12:28 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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,
Starting point is 00:12:50 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,
Starting point is 00:12:58 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.
Starting point is 00:13:14 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.
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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?
Starting point is 00:13:44 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.
Starting point is 00:13:59 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,
Starting point is 00:14:10 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
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:14:30 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
Starting point is 00:14:39 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?
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:01 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.
Starting point is 00:15:14 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?
Starting point is 00:15:26 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?
Starting point is 00:15:42 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.
Starting point is 00:15:58 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
Starting point is 00:16:16 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. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:16:35 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.
Starting point is 00:17:02 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
Starting point is 00:17:16 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
Starting point is 00:17:28 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
Starting point is 00:17:38 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.
Starting point is 00:17:45 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.
Starting point is 00:17:56 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:23 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
Starting point is 00:18:30 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
Starting point is 00:18:37 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
Starting point is 00:18:43 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.
Starting point is 00:18:54 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?
Starting point is 00:19:05 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...
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:25 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
Starting point is 00:19:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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?
Starting point is 00:20:13 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,
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:36 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.
Starting point is 00:20:43 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.
Starting point is 00:21:05 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
Starting point is 00:21:25 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
Starting point is 00:21:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:42 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.
Starting point is 00:21:51 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
Starting point is 00:22:05 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
Starting point is 00:22:13 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
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:27 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?
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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
Starting point is 00:23:10 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
Starting point is 00:23:25 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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...
Starting point is 00:23:57 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
Starting point is 00:24:13 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
Starting point is 00:24:22 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
Starting point is 00:24:44 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.
Starting point is 00:24:59 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.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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
Starting point is 00:25:34 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.
Starting point is 00:25:46 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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,
Starting point is 00:26:08 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Happy Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:26:53 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.
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:32 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?
Starting point is 00:27:58 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
Starting point is 00:28:16 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
Starting point is 00:28:35 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
Starting point is 00:28:55 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,
Starting point is 00:29:25 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.
Starting point is 00:29:59 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.
Starting point is 00:30:27 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.
Starting point is 00:30:49 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?
Starting point is 00:31:10 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,
Starting point is 00:31:42 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
Starting point is 00:32:09 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
Starting point is 00:32:24 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.
Starting point is 00:32:46 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
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:34:00 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.
Starting point is 00:34:11 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,
Starting point is 00:34:31 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.
Starting point is 00:34:39 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.
Starting point is 00:34:55 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.
Starting point is 00:35:18 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.
Starting point is 00:35:37 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.
Starting point is 00:35:52 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
Starting point is 00:36:08 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
Starting point is 00:36:23 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.
Starting point is 00:36:31 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
Starting point is 00:37:03 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?
Starting point is 00:37:14 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.
Starting point is 00:37:24 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?
Starting point is 00:37:44 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?
Starting point is 00:38:00 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.
Starting point is 00:38:10 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.
Starting point is 00:38:26 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,
Starting point is 00:38:31 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?
Starting point is 00:38:41 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.
Starting point is 00:38:57 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.
Starting point is 00:39:08 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?
Starting point is 00:39:23 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.
Starting point is 00:39:39 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.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Totally. Yeah. That is the thing. It brings on the expectations around it is just ridiculous. And I hear pressure, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:59 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.
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:22 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
Starting point is 00:41:03 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.
Starting point is 00:41:21 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.
Starting point is 00:41:35 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
Starting point is 00:41:44 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.
Starting point is 00:41:59 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.
Starting point is 00:42:23 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.
Starting point is 00:42:33 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.
Starting point is 00:42:42 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
Starting point is 00:42:48 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.
Starting point is 00:42:57 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.
Starting point is 00:43:06 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
Starting point is 00:43:22 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
Starting point is 00:43:31 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
Starting point is 00:43:42 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
Starting point is 00:43:58 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.
Starting point is 00:44:11 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
Starting point is 00:44:19 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

Starting point is 00:45:17 Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley 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
Starting point is 00:45:24 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.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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
Starting point is 00:45:52 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 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.
Starting point is 00:46:21 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.
Starting point is 00:46:36 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.
Starting point is 00:46:47 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.
Starting point is 00:47:07 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
Starting point is 00:47:23 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.
Starting point is 00:47:37 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.
Starting point is 00:47:57 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.
Starting point is 00:48:14 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
Starting point is 00:48:29 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.
Starting point is 00:48:45 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
Starting point is 00:49:01 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?
Starting point is 00:49:22 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,
Starting point is 00:49:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:01 So I said, it's all good. We're doing Friday freezer at our place where we only eat what's in the freezer because the freezer's too full which I absolutely love
Starting point is 00:50:10 and the kids love it too it's this weird tradition romance is also alive at our house I said no freezer Friday's happening fish fingers on Valentine's Day yeah dude
Starting point is 00:50:18 fish fingers goes in the air fryer and rolls play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley Friday flashback flashback flashback Hornsmith yep Barret rule. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Friday Flashback. Vaughan Smith. Yep.
Starting point is 00:50:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:52 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...
Starting point is 00:51:08 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...
Starting point is 00:51:18 I don't have sick days. We're not going to go that far. Ooh, Abba. We're not going to go that far. I'll resign far I'll resign I'll resign ZM it's your Friday flashback Beyonce on ZM

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,
Starting point is 00:51:59 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.
Starting point is 00:52:18 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.
Starting point is 00:52:30 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. Hayley's version.

Starting point is 00:53:15 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
Starting point is 00:53:35 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.
Starting point is 00:53:48 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.
Starting point is 00:54:07 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
Starting point is 00:54:23 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.
Starting point is 00:54:54 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.
Starting point is 00:55:44 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
Starting point is 00:56:00 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.
Starting point is 00:56:43 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
Starting point is 00:56:57 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.
Starting point is 00:57:18 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.
Starting point is 00:57:37 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,
Starting point is 00:57:55 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
Starting point is 00:58:06 $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
Starting point is 00:58:22 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.
Starting point is 00:58:37 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.
Starting point is 00:58:49 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.
Starting point is 00:59:04 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.
Starting point is 00:59:19 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.
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 00:59:48 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.
Starting point is 01:00:00 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.
Starting point is 01:00:17 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,
Starting point is 01:00:35 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.
Starting point is 01:00:51 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.
Starting point is 01:01:13 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.
Starting point is 01:01:26 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.
Starting point is 01:01:44 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.
Starting point is 01:01:56 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.
Starting point is 01:02:28 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,
Starting point is 01:02:45 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
Starting point is 01:03:07 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.
Starting point is 01:03:26 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.
Starting point is 01:03:36 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.
Starting point is 01:03:53 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.
Starting point is 01:04:05 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.
Starting point is 01:04:21 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.
Starting point is 01:04:39 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.
Starting point is 01:04:53 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.
Starting point is 01:05:08 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.
Starting point is 01:05:24 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.
Starting point is 01:05:38 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.
Starting point is 01:05:51 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.
Starting point is 01:06:02 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?
Starting point is 01:06:18 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.
Starting point is 01:06:26 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?
Starting point is 01:06:39 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
Starting point is 01:06:51 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.
Starting point is 01:07:08 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.
Starting point is 01:07:20 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.
Starting point is 01:07:31 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,
Starting point is 01:07:43 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 Shellfish Week and I say banger of a week
Starting point is 01:07:51 it's been a good week it's been a big dog I've loved this week big dog thank god it wasn't calendar week never forget calendar week people's horrible week

Starting point is 01:08:47 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
Starting point is 01:09:03 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.
Starting point is 01:09:28 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.
Starting point is 01:09:38 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.
Starting point is 01:09:48 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.
Starting point is 01:10:05 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
Starting point is 01:10:19 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.
Starting point is 01:10:37 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.
Starting point is 01:10:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:04 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,
Starting point is 01:11:20 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.
Starting point is 01:11:28 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.
Starting point is 01:11:38 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.
Starting point is 01:11:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:58 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.
Starting point is 01:12:12 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.
Starting point is 01:12:28 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.
Starting point is 01:12:43 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,
Starting point is 01:12:56 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
Starting point is 01:13:05 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
Starting point is 01:13:13 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.
Starting point is 01:13:24 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.
Starting point is 01:13:37 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
Starting point is 01:13:47 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.
Starting point is 01:13:54 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
Starting point is 01:14:03 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.
Starting point is 01:14:20 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,
Starting point is 01:14:51 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.
Starting point is 01:15:00 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.
Starting point is 01:15:14 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.
Starting point is 01:15:31 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.
Starting point is 01:15:50 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
Starting point is 01:16:29 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.
Starting point is 01:16:49 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.
Starting point is 01:17:02 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
Starting point is 01:17:11 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
Starting point is 01:17:18 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.
Starting point is 01:17:28 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
Starting point is 01:17:46 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.
Starting point is 01:18:06 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
Starting point is 01:18:20 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.
Starting point is 01:18:39 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.
Starting point is 01:18:54 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.
Starting point is 01:19:12 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.
Starting point is 01:19:25 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
Starting point is 01:19:40 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.
Starting point is 01:19:59 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.
Starting point is 01:20:20 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?
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:20:50 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.
Starting point is 01:21:05 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,
Starting point is 01:21:16 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.
Starting point is 01:21:24 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.
Starting point is 01:21:37 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.
Starting point is 01:21:55 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.
Starting point is 01:22:06 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
