For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr. Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Clark would have threatened him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son.

Thank you, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Thank you, Bryn.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Somebody's got a new drink bottle.
Yes.
Oh, isn't it nice?
I have been living a life of poverty.
Right, with a plastic.
Supping from a 1.5 litre plastic bottle.
Because I left my big Kadrona Hydro Flask thing at, I don't know, somewhere.
Some hotel.
And then they claimed that it wasn't there.
I was like, someone's sipping around there.
Okay, nobody was.
If I was cleaning a room.
They thieved me.
I'd just chuck it in the bin and then be like, I didn't see it.
Yeah.
Like, it's not worth anyone's time or effort, Hayley.
I wouldn't put a hydro flask in the bin straight away.
I'd put it in the hotel lost and found for a couple of weeks.
Would you?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I emailed a number of hotels.
Anyway.
Okay.
Kadrona, the lovely Kadrona people.
Have sent you a replacement.
Have sent you a replacement.
With a note saying, do not lose this one.
Speaking of hotels, next on the show,
there's some hotels have brought in a little fee
that they're charging people.
Yeah, and I think this is...
That I'd like to talk about.
Yeah.
Also, the top six on the way.
Yeah, I read it last night.
Top six ways to play safe with your food this summer.
Well, yeah, because they've warned us ahead of summer
because, you know, some people, I don't know,
they put the chicken on the chopping block and then...
Yeah, and some people just drink too much
and then blame the food they ate.
It annoys me so much when someone is like,
oh, man, I think I ate something bad.
It's like, in between the 15 wines or was it prior?
Oh, my God, I know.
No, no, no, no, it wasn't that.
I just feel terrible.
I've got awful guts.
Yeah.
Something's happening.
Got a headache, feel a little bit...
Yeah.
Food safety has reminded us of some ways to stay safe this summer,
but you've got your own, Vaughan.
I've got some basics
because I think we need to get back to basics.
Because literally on this list
was washing your hands.
Are we still doing that?
I thought there was a COVID thing.
Oh, no, people are still doing it.
I stopped months ago.
Yeah, I stopped after COVID.
Did you?
You guys should start again.
Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Hotel chain in America is going viral
because it's brought in a $50 fee for dirty towels.
What kind of dirty towels?
They are claiming that it's makeup.
Didn't you get a written warning from a hotel in Melbourne?
No, I didn't.
Towels.
No, I didn't get towels.
I didn't get towels.
No, either of you got too many towels.
I thought at the end of the stay they were like,
you can just keep calling every hour, more towels, more towels.
I don't know about you, but I will use a new towel
every time I have a shower at a hotel.
No!
I'm not hanging it on the hook.
I don't care.
If I'm by myself on a work trip, absolutely.
But if it's like family or a couple,
you've got to be a bit careful with your towels.
Yeah.
So they are claiming that it's makeup.
Oh, 100%.
Women have no respect for a communal towel.
What are we supposed to do?
This is what I always ask, though.
What are we supposed to do?
Take your own flannel.
I always bring my own flannel, but if I forget.
Because I've noticed sometimes if you stand up,
I think it's more motels do it.
They always have a, this is the makeup towel.
It says makeup embroidered on it and it's brown.
It's brown or black.
Yeah, they have a big sign because it obviously costs them a bit of money,
whereas some of the bigger hotels don't seem to care,
but some have a makeup towel.
I definitely have been guilty of returning to a hotel room,
perhaps after a night in moderation.
And you just want to like smear your makeup off and that's all you've got.
Or sometimes when Hayley stays in my spare room,
there's makeup on the pillows.
Is this what you have to deal with?
Do you remember
when I got a spray tan
and I had to
let the spray tan dry
so I got a spray tan
and I turned up to Fletcher's
and he made me
put down a towel
so I could lay on the bed
and let it dry.
Fair enough.
I've got quality linens.
But I needed to sleep
so I had to sleep
like with the fan on
as to not transfer
said tan to the bed. Not onto my nice Sheridans. They are nice Sheridans. I've had situations where I I had to sleep with the fan on as to not transfer said tan to the beach.
Not onto my nice Sheridans.
I've had situations where I'll be drying myself with a towel at home
and I'll turn around and I'll be like,
oh no, I've had a dirty bottom.
You've smeared.
I didn't wash my bottom correctly.
You've had a smear.
I've had a smear or a bit of poo.
Which is fine if it's a hotel towel.
You just chuck it on the floor.
No, no, but it's not.
It's Sharnay's makeup.
Oh, right.
But I'm like, I've smeared poo on the towel.
But it's makeup.
And I'm like, what a grubby.
And then I'm like, oh, I am so yuck.
I give myself the ick.
What colour is your poo?
It's not like a light tan.
It just looks like a light smearing.
And Sade's got sort of darker skin.
Yeah, right.
She has darker makeup.
If it was my foundation, you'd be like, what a milky poop.
Yeah.
I've had quite a milky poop there.
I need some more green.
Like a mousse.
Mousse colour. Yeah, quite mousse. So it's not. I've had it with lipstick as well. I'm like, I'm milky poop. I've had quite a milky poop there. I need some more green. Like a mousse. Mousse colour.
I've had it with lipstick as well.
I'm like, I'm bleeding from the anus.
But it's not, it's like a little bit of lipstick or whatever.
So it's not, this hotel also says it's not just that.
It's that people, and I've actually done this,
have cleaned their shoes.
Oh yeah, dude, I've cleaned my shoes with a flannel.
Especially coming back to New Zealand,
like you're not allowed dirty boots.
And so I have actually in a hotel, like, hosed down my boots and cleaned them.
I feel like you should use the tea towel for that.
But that's only if you've got a kitchenette.
Yeah, I'm just like, eh.
You just put that one in the middle and then make a ball of laundry.
A ball of laundry and leave it.
We need to agree as a sort of a hotel conglomerate.
We need to host the thing where we sell to them
some slightly more absorbent bath mats.
Oh my God, I know.
So those things get wet like that and dry like this.
They just don't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
You've been warned.
This is like a thing that's starting.
Also, aren't we gathering these things
that's why they're white
because everyone's like
it's so impractical
that they're white
it's not
they bleach them
to smithereens
and that's one of the
big thing about
the environment factor
of it right
it's how much bleach
they're using
yeah the water
and the bleach
the water and the bleach
but then you're sharing
that towel with
like a thousand other strangers
they actually floss
their own anus with that and then you're flossing your anus. Bleach the shit out of it. They actually flossed their own anus with that
and then you're flossing
your anus with it
a week later.
Bleach the hell out of it.
Bleach me to smithereens.
I might want to take
my own towels on holiday now.
Oh yeah, I feel a bit yuck.
Because I'll get it.
The face,
what if my face
is touching the towel
where a gooch has touched the towel?
I mean that's hot.
That's hot.
And I'm down for
most action I've had in months.
When you dry your gooch
and then you put the towel
back on the towel rack
in a home situation
and then you're washing your face
and you...
I often think that and be like,
oh, that's right.
I had a little bit of a gooch wipe yesterday.
The top six is next.
Top six ways to stay food safe this summer.
Olivia Rodrigo, ZM.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley.
From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Top six ways to say food safe this summer.
You know.
This summer.
This summer.
This is from New Zealand Food Safety.
Their real list is hand washing.
Just like a rinse under with water.
Basically, their article is the first class of home economics at school.
Intermediate home economics too, not college.
Yeah.
Non-high school home economics.
Intermediate entry level home economics.
Things like refrigerating meats.
Yeah.
And then like where you prepare your meat
and then not preparing other vegetables
where you've prepared raw meat.
You know, the basic stuff.
There's so much contradictory stuff, though.
I remember reading an article recently
about chopping chicken on a wooden chopping board
is more preferable than on a plastic one.
Yeah.
Because you're cutting in the microplastics
when you're chopping through the plastic.
And the wood's got a natural,
most antibacterial properties.
Right.
Because I never chop chicken on the wood.
I've got a little plastic chicken board.
Oh, wow.
That's why you've got a critic hard amount of microplastics in your brain.
And I think it's fine.
You think it's fine?
It's fine.
Top six.
Top six ways to stay food safe this summer.
I'm breaking it down.
It's basic.
Number six on the list.
Don't eat it if the dog's licked it.
Could you give it a wash and then a re-barbecue?
I have shared one or two things with Raleigh.
Such as?
Like if he's licked something from my bowl.
I'll continue to eat from the bowl.
Oh, Bailey.
I know.
He's a naughty boy.
He licks his own anus.
Same.
I had no idea you were so flexible.
Yeah, thank you.
Such a flexible girl.
Is that why you're doing Les Mills Pilates?
I'm doing the Pilates.
Okay.
I've just started, done two classes.
I see people sharing ice creams with dogs.
I know.
So you're gross.
I know.
I know lots of people do it, but it's so icky.
Top six ways to save food, save for the summer.
Number five on the list.
I feel like I need to remind you guys.
Chew it.
Chew it.
Bloody chew it before you swallow it.
Because you'll choke on it.
You don't want to be giving someone the Heimlich at dinner.
Although you do look like a hero.
Heimlich.
Heimlich.
Heimlich was a bad guy.
Yeah.
Heimlich.
What was that?
Heimlich saves lives.
Heimlich.
Is that the quote?
Don't mention the war.
Heimlich saves lives.
Heimlich.
Number four on the list of the top six ways to stay food safe this summer.
Is it grey?
Then don't eat it.
Oh, yeah, when the meat's cooked itself.
But anything.
What is grey that's edible?
Mushrooms.
Mushrooms.
But the good part of mushrooms is white.
And brown gills.
What is grey?
That's what I was like last night when I read this.
I was like grey because I was thinking of the meat situation.
If it's grey, stay away.
If it's grey.
Eels.
There's some delicious.
I love that.
29 delicious grey foods.
Grey foods.
Oysters.
Oh, yeah.
I always say oysters are grey.
The shell's grey, but you don't eat the shell.
Yeah, but the middle bit's like silver, which is grey.
No, it's silver.
Kippers, lots of fish, mackerel.
Oh, yeah, maybe some fish.
Okay, yeah, so grey.
Sesame seeds are technically grey.
You're going to have to walk back that if it's grey, stay away.
Sunflower seeds.
No, I'm not walking back.
Grey.
No, brown or black.
Number three on the list of the top six ways to save food, save for summer.
Are those ants or poppy seeds?
If they're ants, blow them off.
If they're poppy seeds, also blow them off because they get caught in your teeth and no one's going to tell you because it's funny. Nobody will tell you. No one's happy with a poppy seeds? If they're ants, blow them off. If they're poppy seeds, also blow them off because they get caught
in your teeth and no one's going to tell you because it's funny.
Nobody will tell you. No one's happy with a poppy seed, eh?
No, it's a
crunch. They're like nature's
version of those silver balls our mum used
to decorate cakes with in the 90s. Remember those?
The worst. They were like
babies and you'd be like
bang and it would hit your teeth and you'd be like
mum!
Number two on the list of the top six ways to stay food You'd see these. Yeah. You'd be like, bang, and it would hit your tooth, and you'd be like, mom, ow.
Number two on the list of the top six ways to stay food safe this summer.
I know they look like lollies,
but don't eat the pink lollies in the urinal.
Those are not lollies.
But they're literally called cakes.
Yeah, urinal cakes.
Yeah.
Why are we calling them cakes?
Some girls wouldn't even know those.
We don't pee on cakes.
Yeah.
I do because I know the smell.
And you've used the men's toilets.
Multiple times. Yeah.
Fair, fair call.
I've seen the lines.
Yeah.
She's actually reigning champion of the Huapai Tav.
Piss it down the urinal to the thing.
I don't know how she did it.
It was an angle thing.
Angles.
She put one leg up on the silver wall and one leg on the grey.
The way you're going to tilt the hip.
And then just.
Again, it's that Les Mills Pilates.
Yeah.
It's doing me wonders.
My body defies gravity.
And number one on the list of the top six ways to stay food safe this summer.
If it's on the ground, don't fight a feral cat or a dog for it.
You might win, but you'll probably lose an eye for half a pie.
Just let them have it.
Don't fight an animal for food.
It's just not worth it.
That's today's top six.
Stay safe this summer.
Play.
ZM.
Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Sir Elton Makara Tehuia John.
I don't think so.
I don't know if that's his full name.
I don't think so.
Are you sure?
Sir Elton Michael Peter George John.
That's probably more accurate.
Has revealed.
Because, you know, he's lost his sight for a while
he's not
like, well I guess there's no chance
he's coming back here to finish the concert city
keeps rained out
no he's done
that was God's way of saying
no more homosexuals
on Sunday I went to a new
church, he anti-gayed that one, did you?
yeah I went to a new church and they told me thatayed that one. Did you? Yeah, I went to a new church.
And they told me that God will do these sorts of things to stop the gays.
Rain out the Elton John.
Rain out the Elton John or give him COVID.
Because he definitely had COVID that first time, mate.
We were at that show and he just left halfway through.
Then we tried to go to the second one.
Rained out.
That was rained out.
And now he's never coming back.
No.
That was his final farewell.
Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road tour.
He's done.
But he's been doing a bit of publicity
because he's been writing music for other projects and stuff.
He's just not performing anymore.
He's a big Chapel Roan fan too.
He is.
He loves her.
Did you see him in the green room with Joni Mitchell,
Elton John and Chapel Roan?
Imagine just being her being like,
these are legends.
Well, he has revealed what he wants in his gravestone.
He did an interview with People magazine
and he revealed all he wants.
He said the only thing he wants to say, five words,
he was a great dad.
That's nice.
Not what I expected.
Of all the things he's achieved in his life,
he was a drug addict.
He was a gay man.
He was a great pianist.
He was a great dad. That's all he wants.
And I was like, I haven't really thought
much about, because I'm going to get buried. I'm not going to get
burnt. I'm up to the mirage. Are you?
Yeah. Okay.
I just want to be scattered. I don't want a hoo-ha.
I don't want a big hoo-ha.
I just found out recently my mum doesn't want to have a funeral at all.
Yeah, I would not want one.
Who cares? I think it's
going that way, right?
Yeah.
In a few generations.
I wouldn't be mad if someone's like,
I didn't want a funeral
or the family was like,
it's not happening.
I'd be like, fine, that's great.
My pop didn't have one
because of COVID
and I think he would have loved
the fact that that happened.
Do you know what I love
is when people like,
I mean, it's obviously sad.
They know that the end is near.
Like maybe they're terminal
or they know they've only got a few months. They have a living funeral. I know, I love that. Say it to my face. They know that the end is near. Like maybe they're terminal or they know they've only got a few months.
They have a living funeral.
I know.
I love that.
Say it to my face.
I love that.
And then it's more of a party and people get together and, you know.
Yeah.
It's obviously sad.
If you think I'm great, let me hear it.
Yeah.
Tell me.
Tell me these great things.
You know me.
Let me hear it.
I would want to have something silly.
We were talking before about Spike Milligan, the author.
Yeah.
His tombstone says, I told you I was sick, which is so funny.
I would love to have like a gag on mine or like all the secrets I said I'd take to my grave.
I didn't.
Hee hee.
I want to, first out, I don't want to be buried.
So don't.
But can you imagine like me being buried in the middle of a graveyard
surrounded by people?
Oh, yuck.
Actually, that's your worst nightmare.
There's people everywhere.
We could just take you to the middle of some kind of forest.
You do it.
Shall I grave me?
Yeah, shall I grave you?
I'm all for one of those funerals.
Viking, and there's also, is it in the Himalayas
that they just put you on a thing and the eagles pick you?
Oh, no, that's miserable.
In parts of India, no, that's the deal
because I remember them reading about,
because the cow is sacred as well,
but they give the cow something
and it's toxic to the eagles and the eagle population.
They eat the liver, but that's where it holds the thing
and it kills the eagles.
And so now they put the bodies on top of the building
to be picked apart by eagles
and there's not enough eagles so this smells.
I don't want that.
Grim. Didn't you want to have a
recipe on your... My nana
yeah we wanted to put a recipe
her pikelet recipe which was
probably the Edmonds. What she was most famous for.
Would it be the Edmonds pikelets?
She predates Edmonds. Wow.
She got it from her mother.
Right. But it's just the Edmonds recipe though right her mother. Right. And her mother from her mother.
But it's just the Edmunds recipe though, right?
And that was why their family name was Pikelet.
There's someone who's gone around.
It's a bit far to go though when you're in the kitchen, isn't it though?
And you're just like, what stage am I up to next?
Yeah, true.
But I imagine you would take a photo, take it home and be like,
hey, we should try that recipe we got off the grave.
I never thought about that.
Yeah, photos.
I was just running.
I've got two eggs in a bowl and now I'm going back to the cemetery.
Yeah.
Or you could pull up in a camper van
and use the little kitchen in the camper van
to make some pie crusts inside the grave
Someone's gone around the
Rocky Mountains of Tennessee
and gone to all these, you know, people that love
grave sites, graveyards and stuff
Like tourism
Graveyard tourism
It's a bit morbid
and found some funny headstones.
Yeah.
For example, here lies the body of Jonathan Blake
stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
That's great.
I love it.
It's great.
Here, oh, where's the banana one?
Here lies the body of our Anna done to death by a banana.
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,
but the skin of the thing that made her go. You're like, what? Did she die? Did she choke on a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low, but the skin of the thing that made her go,
you're like, what?
Did she die?
Did she choke on a banana skin?
We don't know.
Gone away, owe too much, couldn't pay.
Wow.
I definitely want to gag.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can see heaps online.
Someone just wrote like, ha, ha, ha on theirs
and like nothing else.
You're just sort of like, what is that?
It's intriguing.
But yeah.
What about I'm buried here with two million in cash?
Oh, yeah.
I dare you to come and find it.
And it's got a claymore on it.
Oh, like a landmine.
Yeah, like an explosive.
And then they pull the lid off and the claymore's tied to the bottom
and they pull it and then they're looking at it and it goes boom.
It's a bit grim, Vaughan.
And then the grave next to it was like, told you.
Let me know.
I'm actually here.
This is all very grim.

It's a bit.
It's a bit.

What do you mean it's a bit?
It's a bit.
It's a great song.
It's soft, isn't it?
Oh, Romeo.
What's your song that's not in the top five?
Shake It Off.
Good vibes.
You wish Shake It Off.
Yeah, there's no Shake It Off.
Number one, the 10-minute version of Course.
Oh, God.
All Too Well.
No.
Producer girlies, you'd be all on board with this list.
Being huge Taylor Swift fans.
I've never even heard this song.
Yes, you have.
Yes, you have.
What's it called?
All Too Well.
All Too Well.
It's a 10-minute version.
Is this about...
Jake Gyllenhaal.
And his scarf.
And the scarf.
You know it, you know it.
If the patriarchy...
If the patriarchy...
Oh, no, that's why I don't know it,
because I don't agree with that.
I think the patriarchy's done a pretty knock-up job so far.
I say re-establish the Patriarchy.
Yeah.
Reinforce the Patriarchy.
Okay, Swifties, are there any songs that you would add to this top five?
Yeah, I mean, the two songs that I have tattoos for aren't on that list.
So, Seven.
Shame.
Seven.
And then, also, Lavender Haze.
Never heard of them.
You will have.
They've played on the radio.
I think you're going to regret it
because Vaughan got tattoos.
He was very into Nickelback in the 2000s.
He got tattoos.
You regret them in the moment they're fine.
Nickelback is still cool in 2024.
The Nickelback tattoos have kind of come back around.
Yeah.
On his shoulder plate.
On his shoulder plate.
No one knows that Vaughan actually has
a look at this photograph.
Yeah, and it's a picture of Vaughan holding a photograph.
And it's of the girls.
Yeah.
It's beautiful, but it's aged terribly.
It's really, it's blurred.
Why, it's stretched.
It's stretched.
Stretched a lot.
Do you always wonder what it's going to be like when we're all in a rest home
and everyone's got their tattoos and they're like Taylor Swift tattoos
and everyone's like 80 or 90?
You know what? My grandma is in a rest home now and one got their tattoos and they're like Taylor Swift tattoos and everyone's like 80 or 90. You know what, my grandma
is in a rest home now and one of her best
friends in there has so many
tattoos and so many piercings, the most
outrageous hair. She looks great.
Yeah, people always say this to me like, what is it going to be like
when you're old? I'll just be an old lady with
blurred, stretched out tattoos. I don't care.
And how fun, every so often you
move a bit of skin away and you're like, oh there's a tattoo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You lift a move a bit of skin away and you're like, oh there's a tattoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You like lift a tip and you're like underneath you're like, ah.
That's right, what's the lyrics under there?
Another tattoo.
Yeah, what do they say?
That's cool.
Does Nan have an emergency buzzer?
Yeah, she does.
I assume she does, yeah.
Yeah, good, I hope so.
But Bad Blood's not on this list?
No, there's nothing from my favourite album, Reputation.
Right.
Which I'm a bit sad by.
Yeah.
Nothing from Midnight's, oh well we've got Antihero, but yeah.
You Need To Calm Down's
not on there.
But for me,
Shake It Off,
because that's the
good bloody party anthem.
Anyway, yeah,
which they like the gentle.
What was the one
with the music video
where she went feral?
Half of them.
Blank Space.
Blank Space.
Where she's dancing aggressively.
Yeah, that was on the list.
Blank Space when she hits
the car with the golf club.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's on there. Your favourite's in there, Hans, so don't you worry. Blank Space when she hits the car with the golf club. Yeah, that's on there.
Your favourite's in there, Hon, so don't you worry.
You stand by that tattoo, Vaughn.
That's Travis Kelsey's favourite song as well.
Oh, there you go.
You share something in common with him.
We're very similar men.
So similar, it's actually hard to tell you apart.

When you go to a dinner party, should you bring drinks?
I read an article in the Huffington Post about the etiquette around bringing drinks to parties, whether or not it's rude
if you bring wine and your host doesn't open it,
or if you turn up without drinks and you're expecting them
to bring drinks but they've also had dinner.
But sometimes in New Zealand they say, don't bring anything.
No, no, we've got heaps here.
You still take drinks.
At least they say, don't bring anything.
A, I'm bringing something, and B, I'm bringing drinks. I went They say don't bring anything. A, I'm bringing something.
And B, I'm bringing drinks.
I went to a dinner party last night.
I brought one whole cocktail.
A Monday dinner party?
Yeah, and I've got another one tonight.
Oh, holy shit. I have other friends outside of you two.
Tis the season.
Tis the season.
I've never heard of these friends.
Yeah.
Well, they're my neighbours yesterday.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was really fun.
But I brought stuff for Ugo Spritz's, like I brought
Prosecco and soda water and
Alderflower, but then the host
who cooked all the dinner and everything
had already set up all these drinks. He was like,
no, no, no, no, no. But you bring them. You bring it
just in case. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's what we asked.
We asked, do you, when you go to a dinner
party, do you bring drinks? And
the people have spoken 95% saying yes.
Interesting.
Yeah.
5% saying no.
They may be our non-drinking listeners.
Yeah, that's true.
And then, were you taking a bottle of Fanta?
Yeah.
You always bring your own Fanta.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't be relying on them for drinks.
When you're just a cider drinker, you have to provide your own drink, said Sam.
That's like a vegetarian showing up to a barbecue and expecting the host to be catering for you.
Yeah.
That's good that he knows.
Yeah.
Imagine only drinking cider.
Yum.
Gets a bit sweet at the end of the night.
But after a while, you can only have one or two.
Yeah.
Michelle said, because then I'll know I'll drink something I enjoy
and not have to drink Chardonnay
oh yeah
that's the thing, you take your own, you know you're going to like
what you're drinking
it's also just a money thing, if they're cooking for you
imagine if they're also providing drinks
Chloe said
in New Zealand, yeah you take your own
not Swarbrick Jones
haven't heard from her for a while
it's been a while
she's been busy in It's been a while
She's been busy
Yeah
In New Zealand yeah
In other countries no
Oh really
Ah
What so
In other countries
If you're hosting the dinner
It's drinks as well
You wouldn't turn up
To an Australian dinner
Without drinks
No
Surely
Cause that's the
Yeah like the
What was it
That guide for like
New citizens
Had the All about bringing a plate.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, always put a plate.
Because that's like, and bring food on the plate, not just on a plate.
If you're doing dinner, you bring pudge.
Yeah.
Jamie says, people that don't are tight as F.
Even if you're not drinking, you take a bottle for the host as a thank you for having me.
Yes.
A nice little $17.
That's down to $14 and has a gold sticker on it. He's got to have a gold sticker. He's got to have some gold stickers. Yes. A nice little $17 that's down to $14 and has a gold
sticker on it. He's got to have a gold
sticker. Gotta have some gold stickers.
Petra said, if I'm
not bringing a plate, then yes, I'm taking
drinks.
Again, again, leave it behind
when you don't take your
half-finished bottle home.
Unless it's spirits.
Spirits spirits taken home,
but otherwise,
leave your bottle of wine there.
Amy said,
my parents taught me
to never arrive empty-handed.
Yeah.
Which is good parenting.
Felicity said,
I don't drink wine,
only basic girly cocktails,
so I'll sort myself out.
Thank you very much.
She's bringing Cosmo ingredients.
Yeah.
I wouldn't want to mess
with the food pairing. I wouldn't want to mess with the food pairing.
I wouldn't want to mess.
That's someone who's not bringing a drink.
Yeah, so they're going, they're making fish.
I'm not rocking up with a bottle of rouge.
They can do the food pairing.
You can have the rouge before or then again after.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But again, at least bring something.
That matches the food pairing.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
And then what are you going to ask the host?
Like, what are you making us?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you want to come over for dinner?
What are you cooking?
Yeah.
I don't mean it like that.
I just want to bring something that suits.
Zoe said, I don't like to drink alcohol,
and often that's all that's available, all water,
and you start to feel left out, so I bring a little fizzy.
Yeah, kombucha of sorts.
Or maybe she brings a Fanta.
Yeah, I think she's bringing a Fanta.
I love that you yucked kombucha and you went,
but Fanta's more appropriate for a dinner party.
Well, no, I would go.
Kombucha's good for your gut health, Vaughn.
I would go for an LMP because you put it in a champagne float
and it looks like you're enjoying festivities.
That's nice.
And that's one for our pregnant but not yet told anybody listeners as well.
Yes.
LMP in a champagne float, everyone thinks you're having a little champers.
Because let's face it, the minute you say, no, thank you, I'm not drinking,
everyone's going to say,
you're pregnant.
Pregnant.
Yeah.
Especially if it's six months
after a wedding.
Oh yeah,
God yeah.
I know they should know by then.
At six months,
you're probably telling people.
Three months after a wedding.
No,
I mean they're trying
six months after they got married.
Oh,
after their own wedding.
Yes.
Gotcha,
gotcha.
Because they waited for marriage
to consummate.
Yeah, that's what you do. Why would they be pregnant before they got married? That doesn't make any sense. Gotcha, gotcha. Because they waited for marriage to consummate. Yeah.
Of course.
That's what you do.
Why would they be pregnant before they got married?
That doesn't make any sense.
No, you wouldn't do that.
How would that have even worked?
Because they definitely haven't had sex yet.
That's not how that works.
No.
That's that I still have a little pie.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.

Mason Disick is Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's son.
The first one.
I think he was the first child of the brood.
And he's 15 now.
15 years old.
Wow.
That doesn't make you feel old.
Is that the one she pulled out of herself?
Remember there's that famous episode where she's giving birth and she just reaches down
and goes, who's her own baby?
Wow, amazing.
Maybe that was the second actually because if you do that the first time, I reckon you're a psychopath. I reckon they're laughing baby out. Wow, amazing. Maybe that was the second, actually, because if you do that the first time,
I reckon you're a psychopath
and I reckon they're locking you out.
Having never given birth in your life,
you're just like,
I reckon I could just crank this.
Well, he's 15 years old as of yesterday
and for his birthday,
his daddy bought him...
Daddy?
Daddy bought him a mini G-Wagon.
Mercedes G-Wagon.
Wait, what's a mini G-Wagon?
Just a smaller.
It's like... A two-door. Oh, it's a two-door one. Not a four-door one. Mercedes G-Wagon. Wait, what's a mini? Just a G-Wagon? Just a smaller. It's like a-
A two-door.
Oh, it's a two-door one.
Yeah, like-
Not a four-door one.
Yeah, they look cooler.
Man, that's a rule with any four-wheel drivers.
They look cooler in two-door than they do in four-wheel.
I always see, like, there are a few of those Mercedes G-Wagons around Auckland, and you're
always like, wow, okay, those are nice.
Yeah, I'm always like, who's driving them?
They are so expensive.
So-
They are so-
Aren't they like 250?
Yeah.
We knew a guy once.
He was like working in film and he turned up to our house and he pulled in and we asked.
We're like, can we just ask you how much that cost?
He was like, yeah, it was 250,000.
Jesus Christ.
That is insane.
So even the two door one, that's going to be like 200, right?
Oh, at least.
At least.
How much does a Mercedes G-Wagon cost?
I'm just on Trade Me.
There's one here.
It's a 2022, so not brand new.
It's only done at 8,000 k's.
$260,000.
There's a 2023 one for $284,000.
There's a 2024 one for $329,000.
Yeah, the brand new one here, $343,000.
So there's a 15-year-old learning to drive in a $300,000...
I mean, they're so rich, it makes sense.
It's a drop in the ocean.
But my dad bought me...
Are they safe there?
Do they have a five-star safety?
I would imagine that.
Well, they're Mercedes.
I would imagine so.
Oh, I don't know.
Is it ANCAP safety room?
He doesn't even know how to drive.
Anyway, my first car was a 1992 Mitsubishi Mirage.
It was like rusted
through. It was sort of grey black. It had
a stealable radio that got stolen twice.
It was so crap. It sounds nicer than your current car.
It was. Actually, I
wish I had never got a new car.
Wish I was still driving that.
No, I sold it to a friend and the door was so rusted
they had to get a replacement door, but it was a different colour.
You know, they'd always see it around.
It was awesome.
And it was so fun learning to drive in that.
And also,
I think I've mentioned this before,
this is the grossest thing.
This is the worst thing,
but the passenger window
didn't go down
and I was a smoker.
So I used to just have,
no,
the driver's window.
That's gross.
Anyway,
yuck.
You're so yuck.
What was your first car born?
A 19,
well,
it was mum's car.
Hand me down.
No, it was still mum's car.
So it wasn't actually yours.
But it became like the kid's car.
But mum was like, that's my car.
Was it the Starlet?
Yeah, it was a 1986 Toyota Starlet.
I still had it when I started working with Fletch.
Wow.
It was rad.
It had four doors.
Most Starlets were two doors.
It was a four-door Toyota Starlet.
Pretty posh.
I thought this guy was pretty posh.
Yeah, he's a pretty posh guy. Mine was a
$500 Honda Accord.
Yeah. Hell yeah, my dude. And it just went and went
and went. Yeah. It was so good.
Shannon's still in her first car. She just messaged.
What's yours?
I believe it's a Volkswagen.
Yeah, a Volkswagen Golf.
I thought it was a car one that dated rich Europeans.
No, no, no. She's got
the leaf because she's a vegetarian.
I don't have a leaf.
No, what is it?
Aqua.
Aqua, sorry, aqua.
Because I like water.
It's the same thing, Carwin.
It's exactly the same thing.
It's not.
You took umbrage at the leaf.
Water goes on plants and plants grow into her food.
Into her food.
That's all she can eat.
Yeah.
I mean, I wouldn't say I've got a rich European car.
The engine light's been on for, I think we're up to a year and a half now.
Yeah.
Which goes to show, I think the engine light's been on for I think we're up to a year and a half now. Which goes to show
I think the engine light's a conspiracy.
Well, I think so, because my car
flooded and it turned on after that.
Someone just texted saying,
my 13 year old doesn't believe that her first
car is going to be a shitter.
She has options. I would be seen dead in a
car like that. Everybody thinks that until
it's time where you get a little bit of freedom
and the option is either
the hand-me-down or
what can be afforded. Yeah, which
is some old, rusty
$500 car. I want
to get my kids a 90s Volvo
because those things are safe.
And that's the main thing I'd be concerned about.
No offence to your girls, but I think they lack the arm muscles
without power steering.
I believe 90s Volvos
may have advanced
to power steering.
I don't know about that.
This is what we wanted
to know now.
This is what I'm talking about.
This big, dirty Volvo wagon.
That thing.
It looks like a hoose.
Oh, how embarrassing.
Okay, this is what
we want to know.
And that bloody McCartan
around the bodies
of their bloody boyfriends
if they get one.
Hey!
They won't be doing that
in the car with their boyfriends
if you buy them a car that big,
let me tell you.
Okay.
Small car never held me back.
Okay, this is what we want to know this morning.
0800 DALS at M, you can text 09696.
What was your first car?
And we don't just want to hear from the $500 shitbox cars like we all had.
Oh, yeah.
I also want to know is there somebody listening
that's had a brand new
car from my man daddy?
Yes maybe.
We're not here to judge you.
Then later on
when daddy went to prison
for embezzlement
they took away my car.
And I had to get
a stupid Nissan.
So was it
what was your first car?
Was it an absolute ship box
or was it like
something really
flashy and expensive?
Some good cars coming through.
Like a G-Wagon
for $300,000
maybe you were just
straight into the Range Rovers
and that's where you live
imagine L-Plates
on a G-Wagon
yeah
I've seen it
I've seen L-Plates
on a G-Wagon
that's insane
okay 0800
Dials at M
9696
good or bad
what was your first car
got to a second
has bought his
15 year old son
for his birthday
a G-Wagon mini G- for his birthday a G-Wagon.
Mini G-Wagon, but a G-Wagon all the same.
One of the most expensive cars you can get your hands on.
We want to know what was your first car.
Was it an absolute shite box?
Jessica, good morning.
Good morning, how are you?
Really good.
What was your first car?
A white Honda Prelude with the flip-up lights that we put lashes on. Oh, yes, with the
lashes. Lashes.
That was just, you know what my mum said
about that, cars with flip-up lights, that's just
another thing that can go wrong. Yeah, another
thing that can break.
They were so cool. They were.
They were, yeah. How much did you
pay for it, or did your parents pay for it?
Oh, Dad brought it. I have no idea.
Probably like 500 bucks. And how long did your parents pay for it? Oh, Dad brought it. I have no idea. Probably like 500 bucks.
And how long did you have it for?
Six years.
Wow.
And you never lost the lashes going 100Ks?
No, they fell off all the time, so I just had to keep buying new ones.
Lashes.
I love that.
Just lashes on the side of the motorway? Wait, can you buy them at like Repco or Super Cheap?
I can't even remember where we got them from.
I wouldn't have a bloody clue.
Rich guy.
I'd go to the $2 shop.
Eyelashes, Mighty Apes, got them.
Timu's got them.
Dick Smith's got them.
Get them on trade.
Get them now for my car.
They'll be perfect.
Yeah, you can still get them on.
Love that.
Thank you, Jessica.
Can you get some?
Yeah, I can get some.
We had them on the S-Cargo.
Yeah.
On our Nissan S-Cargo.
The company car.
I saw one of those in New Plymouth at the weekend.
I still love them so much.
Yeah, they look like snails.
Do you think that'll make my car cooler?
Because you know I don't like my car.
Yeah, I think it will.
Get some lashes?
I think people, it'll turn heads.
It'll look really weird.
What about some Tongan flags?
Yes.
Those two, yeah.
I know, it's just wild.
And some reindeer antlers.
Yeah, yeah, great.
We'll really throw a mixed bag of car decorations out there.
So many amazing text messages coming in.
My father lived out his bogan dreams on me
and my first car was a 1998 Ford Falcon XT V6 Ute.
A Ute? Okay.
Got it for 4K.
It was a complete rust box.
Lived out of town and I was a girl on part-time wages
so paying for fuel wasn't great in a, I will reiterate, V6 Ute.
Yeah, that's not sensible.
But it was pretty cool and you'd be driving it and guys would
just look at you like, hot. Yeah.
The other side of it is often
these cheap cars like mine just ran and ran
and ran and ran. It was like nothing. I put
seven bucks in it. Seven bucks, seven bucks.
So I messaged Red Suzuki Alto. I was
so embarrassed by it. But at the end
I appreciated how good it was on the field. Got all the way
from Dunedin to Christchurch on 40 bucks.
Also get into any park.
Yeah.
Like that was what it was about.
Would have crumbled like a can in an accident.
So I'm glad you weren't in one.
Do you remember doing that though?
That was me.
I was like, I checked my bank account balance before I left the house.
I'd be like, $4.
You'd be like, sweet.
And you'd go to the petrol station and be like, psst.
You wouldn't even get like, I don't even think $4 would get out of the tube now.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no.
Years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sneeze in your petrol tank.
Yeah.
There you go.
Four bucks.
Uh,
I learned to drive and then inherited the family's Previa minivan.
Oh,
for a first car.
Oh my God.
You'd be like,
Oh my God.
So embarrassing.
But then when you had your license and you could transport everybody at once.
Friends, oh yeah.
But then you'd always be the sober driver too.
Yeah, we were.
You were highly respected.
You were a very respectable member of the community
if you had access to a minivan.
1,000 blind spots, column shift, wide as anything.
And I reversed it into a tree
and stoved in the back at one stage as well.
Bought a 2001 Impreza
as my first car.
Back window was permanently down
because you couldn't get it up.
Electrics were screwed.
Every time you turned the car off
and took the keys out,
the hazards just turned themselves on.
Good.
So you had to disconnect
the whole battery.
Love that car dearly.
Everybody had a car
in the days of a manual
wind down window
where you'd be in the car
and someone would reach for it
and be like,
no, no, no,
don't wind that down.
It won't go back up. It won't go back up. It'll fall. Yeah. Oh yeah, you took be in the car and someone would reach for it and be like, no, no, no, don't wind that down. It won't go back up.
It won't go back up.
It'll fall.
Yeah.
Oh yeah,
you took it off the finger
and it just went,
boom, boom, boom.
Fell in the middle of the door.
Oh yeah.
A 1984 Mazda Cosmo
cost 800 bucks.
My 15 year olds just told me
they want a Jeep
for their first car.
I laughed right in their face.
A Jeep, as if.
Jeep.
Yeah.
No, you don't want that.
Dreaming.
I had a Ford Anglia,
which at the time
I didn't appreciate it,
but looking back on it now, it wasn't the second Harry Potter.
Very popular.
The muffler was held on with a few loops of number eight wire.
Oh, how good.
Classic Kiwi fix there.
My first car was a Suzuki Samurai.
It's like a Jimny.
Yep.
My dad won us a major spot prize in the Great Lake Cycle Challenge
in the late 90s.
I was on my restricted license at the time, and I was saving up for a Honda CRX.
Sexy car.
Sexy car.
Sexy car.
Yeah, sexy car.
Sexy car at the time.
I happily accepted a brand new free car.
Man, that would have been great.
Wait, they got it free?
Brand new.
Yeah, because their dad won it.
I thought it was a hand-me-down win.
Listen to this.
My friend had it.
First car was a Mitsubishi GTO Sport.
I don't know what that is, but it sounds fancy. The car was better than any of the teachers at our high school. Listen to this. My friend had a first car. It was a Mitsubishi GTO Sport.
I don't know what that is, but it sounds fancy.
The car was better than any of the teachers at our high school.
I remember those GTO Sports.
So they'd pull in and be like,
that's the nicest car in the parking lot.
My first car was a 1995 Isuzu Bighorn.
Bighorn?
Yes, King.
Those things were beasts.
Absolute behemoth.
But my parents knew I'd be safe.
Yeah.
And I'd also have great spatial awareness behind the wheel because of how massive it was.
It was like learning to drive in a bus.
My first car was a 1950s Volkswagen Beetle.
My mum decided to put strips of yellow, black duct tape on it
because it was yellow and then it looked like a bee.
Oh, my God.
That's so embarrassing.
As a 16-year-old having to drive that, it was so embarrassing
but after a while.
That is so embarrassing.
Then it would have been cool, right?
Did anyone hand paint their car?
I had a couple of friends
who had like done
a house paint job on a car.
It was so dry.
Yeah.
So dry and flaky.
Cranked after a summer
in the sun
and it would go to a crash.
Oh my God,
literally someone just text in.
My first car was a 1960 Skoda
painted blue with house paint.
You had to pump the clutch
five times before changing gears.
My first car was Postman Pat's blue red wagon.
What?
It was like a delivery truck.
Cool.
My dad saw it and he was like, great first car.
It really wasn't.
I mean, embarrassing, but so cool.
Everybody thought it was the Postman.
Oh, God.
Oh, so good.
So good.
Pink Toyota Vitz was my first car.
All of my boyfriend's friends called it the,
here comes the vagina.
Little pink Vitz.
Oh, no.
Good stuff.
First cars, man. You never forget them. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Oh, no. Good stuff. First cars, man.
You never forget them.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Oh, dear.
Okay, so a woman went to the club,
and as you sometimes do in the clubs,
and I haven't done this for years in the clubs,
but she hooked up.
She hooked up with a handsome gentleman.
How dirty was a patch in the club?
Yeah, it was so gross.
It was all you wanted,
and then when you were getting it, you'd be like, yeah.
And then someone would take a grainy photo of you on a Sanyo flip phone
and then you'd sit and be like, yuck.
Hayley, we're going.
We're getting in the taxi.
See you later.
So this chickie, Phoebe is her name.
She's 18 years old.
She was in a Parisian nightclub that gives an air of class.
Posh.
Yeah, could be posh.
When she met a handsome gentleman and they had a little bit of a pash,
afterwards she dove straight into a panic
because her throat started to feel a little bit like sandpaper,
gone very scratchy immediately, That was the first sign.
Then she tried to swallow and it got very hard
to swallow. Oh, she's having a reaction to something.
As her throat began to close up
she runs to the bathroom in the club
where she notices she's covered in
hives and rashes and she
instantly goes, oh my god, I'm heading
into anaphylactic shock, which is
when she got her friend to go to her handbag, get
her EpiPen and jab her.
So she carries an EpiPen, so she knows that this is a possibility.
I think it's just if you've got, obviously this is a high-end allergic reaction.
She's a classic peanuts.
She's a classic peanuts.
I've always wondered about this.
So if you ate, say you ate, I don't know, seafood or anything with nuts.
Yeah.
And then even if you brush your teeth and you went out and kissed someone
or hooked up with someone.
Are they going to get it?
Yeah, are they going to get it?
If they had an extreme level, right?
Like the kind where you've got to tell your school, like,
hey, no one else can have a peanut butter sandwich here.
Yeah.
She, so she was like feeling terrible
and she was going through all her drinks
in the mind that she'd had.
She's like, no, there was no like peanuts in that.
And then she remembered the boy with the nice smile
as she described him.
And he had obviously eaten Knowles,
Knowles?
They had little bowls of nuts at the bar.
He'd eaten some.
Never take free nuts at a bar.
It's not an RSA.
I mean, this is a rugby club.
But he put his pussy hands in the bowl and he ate some nuts.
And when he kissed her, it transferred.
Because there was peanuts in the mouth.
Do you think she would have been like, what's that?
Nuts?
Yeah, you're just like, that's a little bit of...
What if that's ever happened to her?
I don't...
I'm not allergic to anything to that degree.
When you give me my slice of apple in the morning, I go.
You used to be allergic to peanuts.
Yes.
I had a, certainly not that intense.
Right.
But we found out when I really wanted chips on a family trip,
my dad said, we don't need chips, we want peanuts.
And then there was an argument and then he did an 80s parents thing
where he shoved the peanuts in my mouth and then chewed them for me.
Like, what's not in my mouth?
Brogay. Yeah. Wild parenting times. Yeah. where he shoved the peanuts in my mouth and then chewed them for me, like, oh, it's not in my mouth. Bro gang.
Yeah.
Wild parenting times.
Yeah.
And it was like, and it read all around my mouth.
But then apparently lots of allergies you can,
when you go through puberty and just the changes and stuff,
you can grow out.
As long as they're mild, I wouldn't test that in the wild.
That's why you love a peanut slab now.
Love a peanut slab. Prefer an almond gold. Almond gold. Yeah, I'm an almond gold. I wild. That's why you love a peanut slab now. I love a peanut slab.
Prefer an almond gold.
I go coconut. Yeah, I love a coconut
as well. We've now entered
the season where it's too warm
to keep peanut slabs in your glove box.
Oh, 100%. You don't want to be
doing that. That just becomes a sack of chocolate.
You should get a mini fridge in the back
of your chimney. Dude, that's a great idea. For your
almond gold. I'd love one of those armrest
Fridges. Yes. For the arm
And gold. Yeah, great idea. And your ice
Coffee. And my ice coffee
When I drive. That's for an arm and gold
Yeah, because they won't be big. You have a row of arm and gold
Hello
How often are we? Hello, hello
Is anybody listening? Hello, someone invent an
Armrest. No, but could you
Arm and gold. Could you create like 3D print?
Of course you can 3D print anything.
Some kind of tub that fits in
and then you've got to wire it, I guess, with cooling bars.
Or you just have ice at the bottom of it.
Yeah, but that way, and then you've just got a big wet.
Yeah, then it's wet.
Middle bit.
I want a refrigerator so that like a cord
that you could drill a hole,
a cord that ran
into the cigarette lighter.
Let's just get,
let's get it wired
straight into the car.
Why are we mucking around
with a plug-in cigarette lighter?
There's never going to be
any time it's going to
need to not have
an arm and gold on it.
It's never going to be empty.
It's never going to be empty.
As soon as it's empty,
I'm popping into Mitre 10
and I'm getting
a three-pack arm and gold.
And then we also put in
one of those Wi-Fi buttons,
we push it, and it just automatically knows
to order more almond gold.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, the Siri adds it to your shopping list.
Yeah.
The groceries being like, why does it say almond gold?
I must be low on the car.
This woman who nearly died has inspired
one of the greatest inventions of our generation.
Someone messaged in saying that some cars have fridges.
They do.
Yes, but we don't own those posh cars.
I splashed out on a Suzuki Jimny. We're not the sort of people who are buying cars with fridges in the console. Yes, but we don't own those posh cars. I splashed out on a Suzuki Jimny.
We're not the sort of people who are buying cars with fridges in the console.
I'm trying to keep my car but have the Armengold refrigerator in the middle.
And maybe make it universal so that if you upgrade your car,
you can also take the fridge with you.
I'd also put my jubes in there too.
Get your jubes out.
My jubes?
Get your jubes out.
And my little dinosaur lollies.
And then they'll be
just cool enough.
Okay,
Timu,
car mini fridge.
Okay,
great.
Where does it fit?
Car mini fridge,
security verification.
I'd give up my glove box.
Also sounds like it would
burn your car down too.
Nah,
this looks like,
it keeps asking me to,
you know,
spin the winning wheel.
Spot the owl or something.
Go away.
Okay.

I just punched myself in the face with the microphone
trying to do a great accent of Love Island
because there is a new All Stars that has been announced.
Fletch.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Calm down because I know this is your show,
your number one show. Yeah, I know you're excited. Well, I love Love Island, Calm down, because I know this is your show, your number one show.
I know you're excited. Well, I love Love Island, but I actually haven't watched that many seasons.
You're more maths.
You're team maths. Where's the maths bell?
I'm just dinging the
bell, Vaughn, because we just mentioned maths.
Ah, cool. Man, I'm
so sorry to have been late back to this break.
Well, Love Island...
Discussing my favourite TV shows.
Love Island.
Mavs and Love Island.
Shut up.
Love Island All Stars 2025 returns.
And it's basically like if you've been on the island before,
you come back.
And it's favourites.
Yeah.
Now, I know that producers Shannon and Carwin love Love Island.
And you've watched every season?
Most of them.
I haven't watched for a couple of seasons.
I dip in and I go hard.
What was the one where you were watching the whole entire wrong season?
Yeah, that was a couple of years ago.
And then everyone started talking about these people and I was like,
they must be intruders.
And then I realised I was watching last year's season.
Okay?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was so funny when you realised.
I mean, for me.
It was funny for us. Yeah, you were like dodging spoilers for the wrong season. Yeah, That was so funny when you realised. I mean, for me, it was funny for us.
Yeah, you were like dodging spoilers for the wrong season.
Yeah, I was like not going on specific websites
so that they didn't get spoilers
for something that was filmed in like 2017 or something.
Okay, predictions for All Stars 2025.
Who would you want to see?
Well, my big thing is season five of Love Island was the peak.
We had Tommy, we had Molly Mae, we had Curtis and Amy.
It was the best.
And honestly, if I could cast this,
I'd bring everyone back.
Molly Mae is recently divorced.
That's true.
She'd be the most famous Love Islander, eh?
I would say so.
She's the most successful.
And Tommy, of course, literally has a Netflix show
and is a huge boxer.
Big controversy.
He wouldn't be going back on.
But it would bring me such joy if he did.
Yeah.
I watched the, what was the last Love Island season?
And it had Jake and Liberty.
Liberty.
Liberty and Jake were back on the same series,
but they didn't have a romantic connection this time.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, last Love Island All Stars was a little bit disappointing.
There was a few exes, but they really played it safe.
I'm hoping this year they really just throw all the old couples
in together again.
I'm actually surprised, Vaughan, that you're not more into Love Island
given the bikini-clad women with kisses of just ethnicities
from around the world.
Nah.
It's the moment they open their mouth, they love, innit?
No, it's just, I just hate it.
Yeah, this Heidi. I just's just, I just hate it. Yeah, there's Heidi.
I just don't like any show like that.
I get, I can break it down as a logic woman
as to why it's pure trash.
And yet, all I have to do is watch,
I reckon, like, seven eps and I'm in.
I think as well it acts as free relationship therapy
because the girls will do something and I'll be like,
I shouldn't do that. That's, like, it makes me reflect as a partner. Wow, it acts as free relationship therapy because the girls will do something and I'll be like, I shouldn't do that.
That's like, it makes me reflect as a partner.
Wow, it's a learning.
It's a learning watching experience for you.
Yeah, it's basically therapy.
Also very cheap compared to therapy.
Yes, yes, yes.
So what are the lessons you're taking away from Love Island?
Oh, okay.
Like don't cheat.
Yeah.
Don't cheat.
It's not something I do.
Shouldn't that just be wired in anyway?
Oh man, I was thinking of cheating,
but I've just seen the repercussions of it.
I'm going out tonight for a big fat cheat.
I'm going to sit down for a quick little episode of Love Island.
No, just seeing how toxic they can be and being like,
oh, I shouldn't speak to men like that, maybe.
Maybe.
Karwin, do you?
Maybe.
Maybe they deserved it.
Karwin, do you have any, like, hopefuls?
See, I love Moira, and now she was Moira.
I know Moira is such an off name for someone on Love Island.
She was just.
It was her and Barry.
Yeah, Moira.
Let's get her and Barry back.
She was just on.
Who's covering Shortland Street's reception if Moira's on Bloody Love Island?
Oh, no.
Yeah, she was just on I'm a Celebrity, and she was so fun on that.
Just bring her back.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Well, it's coming out next year, top of next year.
And then as I believe, as with all seasons of Love Island,
there will be 9,000 episodes.
I want to balance this with some award-winning television.
Yeah, go on.
The trailer, the full trailer is out
for White Lotus season three today.
And my God.
I will say, having watched that trailer with you this morning,
there is a body bag in the trailer.
Oh yeah, everybody. As you hope. Someone has to die
at the end of every first episode.
It's set in Thailand
this year. Starts off with a big sawadika.
And a great cast by the looks of it
as well. I know, including some
Kiwis, so that's very exciting.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Open up your little countdown app for Christmas.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I thought you said that that song was called Marshmallows.
No.
That you thought the lyrics were, put some marshmallows.
And I was like, you're wrong.
Don't do it, no.
Anyway, sorry.
That's a cute idea though, put some marshmallows on the fire.
Stay tuned for Hayley's version.
It won't be that on Friday.
Are you going to do one?
Are you going to do like a rap of the year?
Yeah, I'm going to do, I'll do something.
Okay. Over to you, Vaughan. Are you going to do one? Are you going to do like a wrapped of the year? Yeah, I'm going to do I'll do something. Okay.
Over to you Vaughan. Thank you. At the weather desk I can tell you the weather forecast for
Christmas in New Zealand is
uncertain. Oh!
That'd be right. Long range predictions
indicating unsettled and cooler weather
for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Now apparently the reason
they're struggling is that there's conflicting
weather models.
Early forecasts show cloudy, showery conditions for northern and central regions,
including Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, with cooler temperatures expected.
However, experts caution that the situation could change as Christmas approaches.
Well, we're still a while away.
Yeah, and it always changes.
I mean, yesterday, to be, for example, in Auckland,
the day before was a hot, sunny, on-the-deck, enjoying the sun,
put some sunblock on day.
Get sunburned day.
Yesterday, 30 millimetres of rain.
And, like, boom, thunder.
Oh, the thunder.
It was amazing, eh?
Oh, my God.
The house rattler.
Yeah.
Real house rattler.
Yeah.
So the lead-up to Christmas is suggesting possible showers.
Boxing day, drier conditions are expected for the country.
So it's kind of this messy, uncertain,
and in the next couple of days,
they'll be able to tell the direction of this weather pattern better.
Right.
And do they know about New Year's yet?
No.
Okay.
Okay.
Come on, Fletch.
Where are you going to be on Christmas Day?
What's your weather going to be? I'm not here, so I don't... No, but that's where she wants to know where you're going to be. Oh, come on, Fletch. Where are you going to be on Christmas Day? What's your weather going to be?
Why not here?
No, but that's where she wants to know where you're going to be.
Oh, is it too far out?
I'm going to be hiking.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's too far out to know.
Could be anything.
Could be anything, but yeah.
Fingers crossed it'll be fine.
It's actually never good on Christmas Day.
Do you know what I mean?
It's never really.
I remember as a kid, some sweltering Christmas.
I feel the same.
It used to always feel like it was great weather.
But then I think that's maybe because you're a kid and it was like the magic of it.
And you remember when you got out and played with your toys.
Santa doesn't even visit me anymore.
Because you're very naughty.
I am naughty.
He still visits me.
He won't even go within a kilometre of Fletcher's house.
Well, that's because I don't have a chimney.
I'm in an apartment.
You're too naughty. You're too naughty.
You're too naughty.
What's it got to do with your chimney?
You're so naughty they took your building's chimney away.
Really?
Is that why?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Take the chimney away.
Give them all.
You don't even have heat pumps.
So we can't even sneak in through the heat pump.
I'm going to put a chimney through my window.
I'm going to trick him.
I'm sure your building will be soaked on

And you find out they're husks on the tree
No those are cicadas

Psychologists agree that releasing secrets
Or holding on to past sort of,
not traumas, but like little guilty things.

Weights on your shoulders
has many health benefits,
including improved wellbeing, reduced stress,

improved relationships with others,

What a way to start 2025,
a year that I vow is going to be perfect from beginning to end.
2024 has just not been my favourite at all.
Yeah.
I just feel it's scrappy.
That's just not how life works, though.
It's never perfect.
It is, actually, if I'm setting out my intention
and I'm releasing secrets or little heavy weights on my shoulders before I start the year.

I'm all for it. I'm actually living for this.

I'll find the courage to tell people in real life

to leave behind
in 2025?

So I accidentally ate
most,
almost all
of my son's
Halloween candy.
How does one accidentally
eat something?
Well, I decided I was just going to
have a few pieces, but he actually got some really
good stuff this year, so I ate all
of the good stuff. What happened is you
fell with the mouth ajar.
Yeah, and it all poured in.
It went in, and you started panicking and chewing,
and then it was gone. What does your son
think happened to the candy?
I told him that maybe his younger brothers ate it.
Oh, I know.
You blame someone else for this and we don't judge,
but I want to, but we're not going to.
That's so good.
But also, from someone with this experience,
A, it went off.
I could smell it.
It went bad because kids don't know that sugar...
Oh, the ants got into it.
Yeah, so it went off or ants got into it
and they also don't know the difference between good and bad,
so eat all the good stuff and leave all the rubbish for them to eat.
Yeah.
Well, does that feel like a weight's been lifted, Victoria?
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
We're happy to absorb that and not judge.
Go forth.
Yeah, that's also on the lighter end of people that will actually come on air
because most people are sending in.
Don't call me at season three message.
Messaging in with, you know, some quiet.
I love someone messaging.
I used to do this.
We played this with our 10 year old.
She said, you know how the shampoo is always gone
and there's water everywhere.
It's because I lather my whole body in it,
lay on the floor in the shower
and just spring off the walls like a penguin.
I used to do that.
I busted my kids doing that when they were little.
And I was like, this is why there's never any
liquid soap in here.
So fun.
Shampoo.
My family still thinks I work at my old
job that I quit a year ago. I've worn my
old work shirt to my
family's after work
to make them think I still live there.
See, wow, and that gasp, that's
not a judgey. No, it's not a judge.
It's just, well, good.
That's amazing. I blocked a customer's
toilet while doing a job at their house. I just left it and went on to the next job. Listen, we don't judge. It's just, well, good. That's amazing. I blocked a customer's toilet while doing a job at their house.

My stepsister has five kids and is pregnant with her
sixth. Now at this stage, this is why I was
having a pre-read. This could go anywhere.
Yeah, couldn't it? It could. She asked if
she can call her new kid after my middle name,
which is Anne. I completely lied to her
and said, yes, of course. What a pretty name.
What an honour.
It's not.
It's the ugliest name ever.
Whatever.
I'm sorry for lying.
Stop having children.
You've run out of names.

We don't judge.
We don't judge.

I've just never told her.
I just put it back in the wardrobe.
She thought the other person who borrowed it has done it before me.
Right.
My son recently got married and changed his surname to his now wife's surname.
I found this very upsetting and insulting to the family,
but I haven't said anything.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
You're welcome.

Are you going to leave that behind?
Are you going to carry on climbing that man?

so she had to find a place to live.
But actually, I just wanted to live alone.
I wanted her to move out.

Got to go.

The big volcano is erupting, or it's big lava flows,
and it's taking over those famous pools.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The famous ones.
It's kind of slowly engulfing them.
Oh, dearie me.
That's life, dude.

island. It pops up.

save your presents but it gives you a nice thing and you spend the rest of the night reading the
book you're given an eating chocolate.
Oh, that's nice.
That sounds all right.
I love reading.
I love chocolate.
Yeah.
I'm going to read this Christmas.
Oh, yeah?
Well, just when you were talking about this,
I was like, yeah, I've got to pick my books.
I've got so many ready to go.
Yeah.
Or you could just scroll on Instagram reels.
Can I?
And burn through the same amount of time.
Learn nothing.
Become dumber and go.
But surely that'll run out, right?
And I'll have to find a book.
Has it run out for you yet?
You'll never find the bottom of it.
No.
Oh my God.
That's so much easier.
Yeah, I know.
I'll do that then.
God, thank God.
It's just terrible for your brain too, which is great.
So today's Spectre of the Day,
if you're after a new Icelandic Christmas tradition,
your love book of Lord
is where on Christmas Eve you exchange books
and then spend the rest of the night reading those
books and eating delicious chocolate.
Fact of the
day, day, day,
day, day.
Yeah. I didn't think this was that bad.
Okay, well, I...
This is very rude from you.
I know.
I've been sleeping terribly recently,
and this morning I woke up, like, well ahead of my alarms.
Yeah.
You know, and then it's just sort of like, meh.
Just get up.
Whatever.
Yeah, so I got up, got my stuff together,
and I was like, I'll put my smoothie together.
Then I'll brush my teeth and da-da-da-da-da.
So I went into the kitchen and I do my thing.
And I tighten the Nutribullet and I put it on the thing.
And then I get it off. And sometimes it's like sometimes What was brrp brrp brrp?
That's the sound of the blender
That is wild that you blend
Wait so
It goes brrp brrp brrp
Yeah okay
Because you can't pre-make them a head
Nah because they separate I can't do it at them a head. Nah, because they separate and go, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't do it at work.
I'm not bringing my Nutribullet in.
How far away is...
Isn't there a Nutribullet here?
You could just bring in the thing and...
Is there?
Yeah.
I think there's a base here.
Are all the bases universal?
No, there's one in the kitchen.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
All right, well, this is good.
No, they didn't supply it.
We don't accept supplies.
It's from the Ku Klux Klan.
No, we don't, we don't.
By our own. Well, no, because I'm at one end of the house and't accept appliances from the Ku Klux Klan. No, we don't. By our own.
Well, no, because I'm at one end of the house
and the bedroom's at the other with the door closed.
Okay, so that's not true.
But there is no door to the kitchen.
So it is kitchen straight into a hallway and then his door.
I was going to say, you don't live in the Zuru mansion.
You are describing a standard sort of three bedroom cottage.
It's not a big house.
Oh, whatever.
This is the guy who just also keeps me awake
A lot of the times
Couldn't agree more
Do you know I've stopped doing the polite you're snoring
Where I just roll
And kick a leg back now
Oh yeah my politeness left years ago
And they're like why are you waking me up
Because I am not asleep and that's your fault
And if they've snored all night
The goodbye kiss in the morning is more of a casual headbutt.
I think you need a sleep divorce. Wake up.
People are loving the sleep divorce. I have been vouching
for this but he hates it. Yeah. He's like
no I can't sleep when you're not there.
Stop loving me so hard.
What are you obsessed with
me? Anyway, so
I do my smoothie and
I cannot get it undone.
Sometimes I have it too weak and it spills everywhere.
Yeah.
And I had it tight and it's almost like the shaking of the thing
just tightened it beyond.
I was doing everything.
I'm not weak.
I could, ugh, I was really trying.
Do you drink it on the way to work?
Yeah, oh, I drink it when I get here.
Today I drank it on the way.
We've got two strong boys here.
Yeah.
I mean, I arrive after you.
There might be some separation of smoothie by the time I get here, but Fletch
would be ready to go. No, but I wanted to
have it in my little takeaway
cup with the straw. Oh, you want to drink it?
So I was like, that's perfect. I saw it. I pulled it out of the dishwasher
and was like, this is great. I was ready to go.
So it's 4.30 in the morning. Yeah. And the lid
is stuck on the Nutribullet. Yeah.
So I just toot-a-doodle-doo down
the hole with my Nutribullet
and I open up the door and then I go,
and I shake him and he's like, what?
And I said, can you open my Nutribullet?
Oh my God.
That's monstrous.
That is monstrous behaviour.
I was like, I can't get the lid off my Nutribullet.
Did you try banging it on something?
My benchtop's a wreck.
No, not on your benchtop.
There is not a bangable surface in my house, as you know.
No, I couldn't.
Is there anything bangable in your house?
There's literally not a single bangable thing.
Would you have gone out onto the concrete?
Give it a bang bang.
What concrete?
No.
The gravel driveway?
No.
I just gave him a shove.
Startled him.
Yeah.
And then got him to undo it.
And then in his half sleep, he's sort of like, what?
Like, can you undo my neutral bullet?
Why?
It's stuck.
It's too tight.
I can't get her off.
He's like, oh, I'll pass it here.
Just goes.
Oh.
And then what?
Straight back to sleep?
Yeah.
Or you'd woken him up now.
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
I don't know.
I just closed the door.
It went about my morning and left.
Hopefully he imagined that he thought that was a dream.
Yeah.
And then you won't be in trouble today.
Maybe I should go home. Maybe I should go home.
This is gaslighting. Maybe I should go home and be like, man, I had such
a good toast for breakfast this morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Start the gaslighting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Start the gaslighting.
You had a smoothie. No, no. I haven't had a smoothie
this week. I'm off smoothies.
Because we're out of smoothie ingredients.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you literally got me to open
the Nutribullet this morning. And the Nutribullet lid won't tighten so it leaks a bit. Yeah. I was going to say ingredients. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you literally got me to open the Nutribullet this morning. And the Nutribullet lid won't tighten, so it leaks a bit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to say that.
Yeah, yeah.
No, but the Nutribullet blade's sitting in the sink.
No, you're crazy.
Oh.
It was right there.
What are you even pointing at?
You're crazy.
What are you even pointing at, bro?
You need a piece of toast.

Was it on the podcast
on air that I said
my brother wanted
to get my parents
a dash cam for Christmas?
Oh yes,
I remember.
I think it was a podcast
and it might have been
a podcast only.
Okay.
A little bit of pod.
If you just can't get enough
on the radio,
boy we've got a little bit of pod.
Oh, we've got extras,
don't we?
We've got extras.
Yeah.
Sometimes naughtier.
Just, yeah,
a little bit naughtier.
Find the podcast
iHeartRadio
or wherever you podcast.
That's right. KPI. It's a KPI. Just getting a couple of KPIs naughtier. Find the podcast, iHeartRadio or wherever you podcast. That's right.
KPI.
It's a KPI.
Just getting a couple of KPIs for the end of the week.
That's good stuff from you.
Well, he wanted to get them a dash cam.
And I was like, I don't super see the point of a dash cam.
Yeah, it's just a nothing gift.
Yeah.
Like.
Like, unless there's a meteor or some.
Yeah, how good's a Russian dash cam?
Yeah, or like a truck in front of you swerves off the road and you've got it.
You've got the footage. And I drive all that stuff. So, like, someone else will have it's a Russian dash cam. Yeah, or like a truck in front of you swerves off the road and you've got it. You've got the footage.
And I drive all that stuff.
Yeah, what even's still like,
someone else will have it.
You'll be good.
So, I, actually, advertising works.
Oh, does it?
Because I heard about-
That's a KPI.
Audio advertising works
because I heard about this on a podcast
on iHeartRadio.
It was an ad for a
digital photo frame
where there's an app associated
and multiple people can have the app
and they put photos into the app
and it puts them into the frame regardless of where the frame is.
Oh, yes, yes, yes. I've heard this advertised.
Okay, you would buy your mum and dad a
digital photo frame, which they've been around for
a while. They have been, yes, but you plug like
USBs into them and such.
But you, your sister and your brother would have that app
with access to the account and we would upload photos.
And via Wi-Fi, they just appear at your parents' house
if you got them though.
Oh, I don't know if your mum and dad would want that, would they?
I'd do silly things.
Yes, yes.
I'd be like, my mum would be like, oh, got to go.
You know, Joe and Barry are coming over for dinner. And I'd be like, are they? We'll see about that. And then I'd be putting all my mum would be like, oh, gotta go. You know, Joe and Barry are coming over for dinner.
And I'd be like, are they?
We'll see about that.
And then putting all that big.
Your bums.
Yeah, diddles and stuff.
So here's my problem that I spotted after I thought about it.
Yeah.
Is that it would be a competition on who could get the most pictures of their kids in there.
Oh, 100%.
And it'd be like, oh, my kids did this, that, and the other. Oh, you think that's like, oh, my kids did this, that, and the other.
Oh, you think that's great.
Well, my kids did this, that, and the other.
And I'm at a disadvantage because I've got two and I've got three each.
So they're going to have more kids doing more things.
Yeah.
Well, you can put pictures of us, Augie, Indy, and then Hayley and Fledge.
Add you to my portfolio of children.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look what Hayley did today.
To put it in the digital photo frame.
It would become competitive. Yeah, it would.. Look what Hayley did today. To put it in the digital photo frame. It would become competitive.
Yeah, it would.
It would be ruined.
And it would be like, there would be so many,
because that's the other thing.
Someone's going to go back,
I'll get a memory of like a cute old photo of the girls
and I'll be like, oh, mum and dad love that photo
and I'll put it in there.
And then my sister will be like,
oh, we're putting baby photos in, are we?
Yeah, yeah.
And she's got eight billion professional photos of her kids. Yeah.
And I think we've had one family photo shoot
the whole time because I'm just like, I don't like them
because they're like, smile now and I'm like,
it's impossible for you to do that.
Impossible. So then she's going to go,
and then my brother's going to be like, what kind of photos are you guys
putting in there? And then he's going to be like,
anything. What could you
set? And then I'm going to start putting in photos
of the dogs. You mean so
each family has, if you're going to, it's like
when MySpace only let you have 30 photos
so if you were going to put some new ones on you'd
take some old ones now. You'd get some old ones off. Yeah.
You could say like we're doing five a month,
we do them on the first. Or, here's
what I'm thinking. Okay. We get three
of these frames
and each family gets their own frame.
Yeah.
So how much is a frame?
If they're overloading... Nearly $200.
Oh,
but then if you just go third
it's a lot cheaper.
I'm just looking at one,
I'm looking at a 10 inch
digital photo frame
and it's $188
which I'm told
on this website
is a great deal.
10 inches is diagonal, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's like that.
Well, that's not too bad.
You didn't need to pull out the... Frame. Take measure. Take measure. Everyone knows what 10 inches is. So that's like that. Well that's not too bad. You didn't need to pull out the
tape measure. Everyone knows what 10 inches is.
No they don't. We know what 10 inches is.
I know what 10 centimetres is.
Far more of a
far more of a metric boy than an imperial.
Do you give me a 7 inch?
Because I'd have no clue. I've got no reference point.
An inch is 2.2
ish. Is that
only centimetres that ruler? Yeah. Tape measure. Is that only centimetres, that ruler?
Yeah.
That tape measure.
So that one's $96.
So maybe you could go three of the smaller ones.
Yeah, three small.
And you could have the QMU Smiths and da-da-da-da-da.
You're gifting this to your parents
and they're going to put it in their house.
They should choose the photos.
No, this is the whole point.
No, because they won't.
Because what it's beyond them. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Or they because they won't. Because what is beyond them?
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Or they'll put in a couple.
You'll teach them how to do a couple and they'll never change them.
The point is that they'll be walking around and go,
I didn't see that.
Have you seen that picture of August?
Oh, look at that.
Yeah, yeah.
And you don't tell them and it just updates.
And they're like, oh, that one's a nice one.
And then mum will be like, wait here, Rhian.
It'll be back on soon.
And they'll sit there.
And then they'll sit there and it'll become their new TV.
Well, they're retired.
That's how they can pass the day, just waiting to see the. No, we've seen that one. Hold on, there's another one. There's another. That's'll sit there. And then they'll sit there and it'll become their new TV. Will they retire? That's something that can pass the day, just waiting to
see the... No, we've seen that one. Hold on, there's another
one. There's another, that's an old one.
I've got to go. I've got to go do something.
There's someone who'll be like, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
Do you want to see this photo or not?
I think this is a great gift for people
with grandchildren. Is there a limit though on the
app for photos each?
Or would you just have to make
that a rule? Like, hey, we'll all put on 10 of our kids or us.
A thousand photos.
The Frameo frame can reliably store more than a thousand photos.
The minute you said a thousand photos?
333.
Who's getting the extra one?
Do you know what's not done by photos?
It's done by gigabytes.
Now, you mentioned that your sister has professional photos.
Oh, that big of photos. So she's going to have done by photos. It's done by gigabytes. Now, you mentioned that your sister has professional photos. Oh, they're bigger photos.
So she's going to have higher resolution photos.
Her photos are going to take up the eight gig quicker than your bloody iPhone snaps.
Yeah.
Your 100 megabyte iPhone 10s.
Yeah, I think you're right.
You've got to get an individual one.
I'm going to tell them to get the smaller frames and I'm going to get the bigger one.
I go in the middle.
I was going to say.
And then I'm going to get a little one. I go in the middle and then I'm going to get
a little sign made
for the middle child.
Yeah.
That's what my frame will say.
A lot of people
are texting and saying
that they love these things.
It's a great,
it's honestly a great idea.
It's great for like grandparents.
Yeah.
My father-in-law has one.
Yep.
And now that he
like is living
in our cottage,
he takes a lot of photos of the dogs.
The dogs are in it more than the grandchildren.
And I regularly remind my children, his grandchildren.
In fact, this is a message to all of his grandchildren.
Yep.
He doesn't like you as much as he likes the dogs.
That's the truth.
That's God's honest truth.
He does not like you as much as he likes the golden retriever and the groodle.
He just doesn't.
And he never will. And he never will.
And he never will.
And that's life.
