Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:30 From the ZM Podcast Network. This is Flesh, Fawn and Hayley's Big Pod. Thanks to Animates. Making happy happen for pets. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Thanks Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. He's a good boy.
Starting point is 00:00:47 You've got to say good boy, Bryn. He's a good boy. He's a good boy. He's our good boy. Good boy. He doesn't just do news for us, but he's our good boy. Well, you would have heard him mention the new tourism campaign to lure Australians to our shores. Everyone must go.
Starting point is 00:01:01 The most, and I'll say it, uninspired shit campaign I've seen for this beautiful country of ours ever. Lame, I thought when I saw it. How much did this cost? What agency did it? Roasting. It's so boring. Everyone must go.
Starting point is 00:01:17 It's, it's... So I sat down and immediately came up with six better ones. So the top six. Oh, great. Good, actually. For free. See, they could have used these for free. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:26 And no cocaine was consumed during this advertising pitch. Well, that saved a lot of money. It saved a ton of money. Coming up in the top six, also Secret Sound back again, $14,000. We had a jackpot on Friday, so your chance at seven. The next chance coming up, thanks to Super Liquor. There was a clue as well.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yes. It was on the card with the flowers she received. I know, I know, I know, I know. Roses are red, violets are blue. I'd wait forever because I'm broken without you. So if you've got a guess
Starting point is 00:02:00 for the secret sound, how does that work in? Yeah. In some kind of vague way. Let it start, eh? This is where people start to lose their minds and they're spending a long time trying to figure it all out. Next on the show, though, should we talk about this woman who has,
Starting point is 00:02:15 she's officially a criminal. She's been arrested for doing something absolutely inappropriate. Rude. Disruptive. I'll tell you what it is next. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Now, I want to say on this Monday morning that we here at Fletchford and Hayley at ZM, we do not condone crime.
Starting point is 00:02:35 No. I'd say we're anti-crime. Well, apart from that crime this morning where you ran a red light. Yeah, where do you stand on running red lights? Where do you stand on that crime? I caught the tail end of an orange light, thank you. I couldn't even get through that light.
Starting point is 00:02:48 You choked on your own light? Yeah, I did. I choked on the light. I did not run a red light. It was orange. Anyway, it's because you were racing me. This guy comes up behind me this morning and starts flashing his lights at me. My little, my lights on the roof lights. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Like I'm some kind of animal. Anyway, we're anti-crime. Did it scare you? Did you think it was the police for a second? No, I said, he's warm. I can see you a mile away. It's like four something in the morning. There's no one else on the roads. The car beside you shit their pants though.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They immediately slowed right down. We're just being larrikins on the way to work, but with safety because we're not committing crimes. Because we're against crime on the show. If I didn't care so much about my car, I totally would have cut you off coming into the work car park. Oh, yeah, yeah. We'd like nudge each other at the roller door to be like,
Starting point is 00:03:35 I'm coming in first. And my Jimny's slightly taller than her car, so she can get going first. And I know it. And they say I can get a nose in. I thought you were going to say. You two are just absolute menaces. I thought you were going to say if you didn't care about your car so much,
Starting point is 00:03:46 you might ram me a little. You know what I mean? Like just tap the end. I'd love to. I'd love to. Because you also know that I don't really care about my car. I think we should get two dunger cars and fight. Like dodge him.
Starting point is 00:03:54 On the motorway. Yeah, no. Dodge him. Okay. When we'll get tumble butt. Anyway. We do not condone crime. No.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Here on this station. So this woman in Japan has been arrested and so, to me, I think that's abhorrent. She's clearly committed a crime and deserved to be arrested. The crime she's committed is allegedly, and I do want to say that for legal reasons.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Well, I'm guessing you have to await trial. She's awaiting trial. Oh, yeah. And like, you know, kiss goodbye to your family. You've gone away for a long time. The crime is she squashed a bun at a convenience store and left without buying the packet.
Starting point is 00:04:34 So she... In Japan, it's criminal damage is the official term for the charge. Oh goodness. Apparently there was a pack of buns and at one, she fingered the bun with, and it really needs to be said, it was her right thumb. Yep.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Okay. Used for the crime. Right thumb. She's fingered it. So, she's just kind of held the bun and just gone like that. Yep. Tester. She claims, this abhorrent criminal,
Starting point is 00:05:06 she claims she only checked for firmness. Are we talking that Japanese milk bread? Yum. You know that, do you know what I'm talking about? Sesame.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Is it like the brioche? It's like a brioche. It's super bouncy and you put your thumb on it and if it's fresh it bounces back. And you know, I know people
Starting point is 00:05:20 that will do this to her. Black sesame and cream cheese buns. Yum. I know, I'm sort of. Black sesame and cream cheese buns. Yum. I know, I'm sort of like, sesame and cream cheese buns. What you are describing sounds like a bagel. No, it's a bun. A bun.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And she said, so she tested with the right thumb again, allegedly. She pushed it in and the bun was so damaged, it was unable to be sold. So technically, she should have bought it. It's $1.20, by the way. Was it stale? If it didn't bounce back. If it didn't bounce back. It sounds like it was stale.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah, I guess it sort of went in, right? Yeah. And it went in like that. So they wouldn't have been able to sell it anyway. But she didn't perforate the bag. Well, listen, this is not her first time thumbing buns. Oh, no. She's a serial thumber.
Starting point is 00:06:08 She's a recidivist offender. A what? A recidivist. I feel like you put too many syllables in. A recidivist. A recidivist. A recidivist thumber. A thumber.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Exactly. So she does this to get off? So the convenience store owner claims, allegedly, that this is not the first time this particular woman has squash buns in her store. Does she ever buy buns? Or she only ever thumbs them? I think she's a bun-thumber. A bun-thumber. I think she's a bun-thumber rather than a bun-buyer.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Okay. So this is $1.20 he's lost out on here for this packet of buns. And I'm not saying that's a small amount. And so it should, you know, crime is a crime. Anyway, he approached her to say, you're going to have to pay for that packet of buns. I can't sell that now. There's a right thumb, allegedly, through one of these buns.
Starting point is 00:07:01 I want to see. Well, they're stale. Yeah, she was like, she refused. Then he, so this is where it gets bad. Yeah, she was like, she refused. Yeah. Then he, so this is where it gets bad. He followed her around the street for a kilometre. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:10 And took it. Dude, it's a dollar bun. Let it go. Sort of took it upon himself to make somewhat of a citizen's arrest or managed to restrain her. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:20 For the crimes committed. The police were then called and she was arrested. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. For a dollar bun. This is a thing in Japan apparently. In recent years,
Starting point is 00:07:33 they say police have been cracking down on pranksters who've committed sushi terrorism. Oh, I've heard about this. Didn't we talk about this years ago? Yeah, that's right. They lick the sushi on a sushi train. Oh, for Christ's sake. As it comes by, they go. And it makes a funny video, obviously. Yeah, but now right. They lick the sushi on a sushi train. Oh, for Christ's sake. As it comes by, they go.
Starting point is 00:07:45 And it makes a funny video, obviously. Yeah, but now I'm eating. But it's gross. Yeah, because do you remember there was the pandemic? People were doing that to tubs of ice cream. Do you remember when Ariana Grande did it? Yes. And then she said she hated America.
Starting point is 00:07:59 And now everybody's forgotten because she's in Wicca. Well, let's not bring it up because she did such a good job in that. I just had completely forgotten until you were like, during the pandemic of the licking and I was just like, yeah, it was like a thing. It was like on the counter. She was like public enemy number one for a couple of weeks there. And now we've forgotten all about it.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And now she's untouchable. Well, now we're focused on this Japanese bum farmer. The New Zealander in me wants to drag her down. Yeah, I know. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. From the Notes app on Vaughn's phone, this is the Top 6. Well, hello there, everybody. Oh, hello, darling.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I'm sorry, but the line, everyone must go, sucks. And that is the line that has been chosen to particularly advertise to Australians about coming to beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand. So all like the videos before, I don't know, the pre-roll ads on YouTube and their TV ads and pop-ups online are going to be like, everyone must go. In like a sales, everything must go vibe.
Starting point is 00:09:01 It's got like, from what I saw of the print ones, it's got a picture of some people climbing a mountain which immediately is a very niche sort of tourist. Like helmets on climbing mountain. How many people actually climb the mountain? 10. There's only 10.
Starting point is 00:09:18 10 people. It'd be better to put the luge there. Oh, we love that. A bungee. Or a whan. A bungee. Yeah. Put a bungee there. We love a bungee here. Or a whan. A whan.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I love a whan. A whan. I mean, more people come to New Zealand and drive on the wrong side of the road than climb the mountains with helmets on. Yeah, that's right. Not wrong. I'm just saying. It was so...
Starting point is 00:09:39 I was just like, it's cool and it's a great picture, but how many people look at that and be like, that's an achievable thing that I plan to do on my two weeks off. Yeah. Anyway. The line everyone wants to see, it's got those ribbon things stamped on the circles with jagged edges. It's like, everyone must go. I don't know. I was uninspired, man, and I love this country.
Starting point is 00:10:00 You know I do. Oh, this is a beautiful country. Aaron's about to go down to Abel Tasman, and I was like, oh, God, beautiful. Snap me a piccy. Yeah, yeah, if you could. It'll be all zoomed in. I did wonder. He does love a zoom in.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Thank God. I said to him when I caught up with him on Friday, I said, I look forward to seeing it all on social media because you're such a prolific presence. Oh, yeah, follow him at... At good luck. Good luck. So I've come up with six better lines.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I came up with these. I timed it. Three minutes it took me to come up with. At. Good luck. Good luck. So I've come up with six better lines. I came up with these. I timed it. Three minutes it took me to come up with. Wow. Six better lines. I've always said you should be working in an advertisement agency. Absolutely. When this all dries out. Because I came up with this on a Sunday night.
Starting point is 00:10:34 No cocaine required. Wow. Fantastic. I don't think that's what happens at advertising agencies. You do think. Or don't think. I think that's like a thing of the past. Wink.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah, of course. Wink. Yeah, of course. Wink. Okay. Yeah. Top six lines that come up within three minutes that are better than everywhere must go. Number six, New Zealand. So exciting. You're kiwi, your pants.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh, great. I don't know if they can be putting that on the television. You're kiwi, your pants. It's a very sacred bird, but I sort of, I get the comedy. Are you on board? Yeah, I'm on board. Permission granted? Totoko.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yeah. Kia ora. Number five on the list of the top six board? Yeah, I'm on board. Permission granted? Totoko. Yeah. Kia ora. Number five on the list of the top six better lines I come up with in three minutes to advertise New Zealand. Have a hobbit of this and a hobbit of that. New Zealand. I like that. Oh, I know, but they'd want a bit of cash.
Starting point is 00:11:16 The Tolkien estate. We'll pay them. They wouldn't let you use that. Well, we've saved all this money on advertising agencies. We've got a bit of money we can chuck to the Tolkien's. Yeah, also, haven't we done enough for the Tolkien's? I feel like the Tolkien's probably bought a beach house with the amount chuck to the Tolkien's. Yeah, also haven't we done enough for the Tolkien's? I feel like the Tolkien's probably bought us a beach house
Starting point is 00:11:27 with the amount that we've given them. Yeah, we've done enough. Made you relevant again with your old dry, dusty book. One of the best books ever written. Oh Hayley, you simply can't say that. You crushed your book, made that into a nice digestible film. Film's digestible at three something hours each.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Quick little watch. Yeah, quick little easy Sunday watch. Number four on the list of the top six better lines than everyone must go. New Zealand, where Kiwi is a bird, a fruit, and a people. No, that's not that good. Yeah. It's good. It's inspired because it piques interest.
Starting point is 00:12:01 To me, I'll say it's confusing. I think if you didn't know and you saw that, you'd be like, fruit, bird, people. But then, yeah, I've piqued your interest. Not enough that I'm going to fly to the bottom of the world. And then you're going to Google, like, in New Zealand, what is a kiwi? And it's going to show you the bird. I'll say the Chinese gooseberry. The people.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah. And the fruit. Not your best. Okay. Number three on the list of the top six lines that are better than everyone must go to advertise New Zealand to the world. Scenery that'll make, sorry, scenery that'll harden your peenery. Oh.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Oh, Vaughan. You can't be putting that on the Australian television. More people come to New Zealand with a penis than climb glaciers with helmets on. I'll give you that one. We'll be the mock of the bloody, you know, United Nations. You were just saying how much you wanted a photo of Abel Tasman. Yeah. It's erotic stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:49 No. Number two on the list of the top six better lines for New Zealand tourism than everyone must go. Should you come to New Zealand? Yeah. Yeah. Nah. Yeah, that's better.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yeah, that's good. Yeah, nah. Yeah. Yeah, nah. So no. No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but it's an Australian campaign, so it should. Yeah, nah. Yeah. Yeah, nah. So no. No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but it's an Australian campaign,
Starting point is 00:13:08 so it should be yeah, nah, but. Yeah, nah, but. Yeah, nah, but. Yeah. Okay, number one on the list of the top... I probably shouldn't have done this one. Number one on the list of the top six... Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:13:18 We'll do it again. Top six better lines that I came up with in three minutes. The clock was ticking. I just need to get one on the board, you know. Number one on the list. Visit New Zealand, you won't more regret it. Oh, yeah. No, that's terrible.
Starting point is 00:13:31 No, I don't think so. That doesn't get your sign on. No, I don't know. I don't want to represent the people on this one. Did you just try to pass that on to Fletch? I'm just disappointed in Fletch. I didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:13:45 The other white one. The other white one. The other white one. That is today's top six. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. It may be 628, Fletch. It may be, but it's also 10 years since 50 Shades of Grey, the movie, hit cinemas.
Starting point is 00:14:02 50? 10 years since 50 Shades of of grey i thought the book would be 10 years old 2011 was the book 14 years ago that's quite quick on the back of making that book i mean it's not something you'd think about but if i had to think about i would have said maybe seven or eight um yeah no 10 years since the very first one called Fifty Shades of Grey. He regretted doing that movie. Jamie Dornan definitely did. He hated that. Whereas Dakota Johnson didn't.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I think she was like, yeah, hell yeah, it was great. Yeah, with Jamie I think he was like, I'm trying to be a proper actor. Yeah. And that's kind of distracted from it. So do you know it's made like a billion dollars in box office? I just googled to find some interesting facts about the movie and that was one of them.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Because it was a terrible movie, wasn't it? It was a terrible movie. I think I've seen one and a half of them. I think I've seen the first one and then I think I might have tried to watch another one. They're so bad. Did you see the grand piano in the first film?
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yes. It was a Fazioli 7277F something. I'm exclusively Steinway. Valued at $270,000 US dollars. A piano. A piano. A piano. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I mean, it was sort of like the first. No, it's not the first. But it was like bringing the world of the little smut books into the mainstream and then everyone, once the movie was out, then everyone was also reading the books in public and it was very like normalised. It was dipping the toe, wasn't it? Yeah, it really dipped the toe.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Dipped a lot of things. Normalised a lot of it. Normalised a lot of it. And then like, I mean, the women. So it's 500 and, yeah, like $600 million US box office. For the first movie. For the first movie. $600 million US. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And the other R16 movies that have done it previously were all R16 for, like, violence. Yeah. There'd never been a movie that's rating was based on its sexual content. So what was the rating of the movie? R16? R16? Because, producer Shannon,
Starting point is 00:16:11 how old were you when this came out? Because you said, oh yeah, I saw that when it came out. And we were like doing the maths, like, wait a second. Yeah, I assumed I watched it as an adult, but no, I watched it at 15. Right as it came out, we took ourselves to the shore of a pirate bay and I watched it as an adult, but no, I watched it at 15. Right as it came out,
Starting point is 00:16:25 we took ourselves to the shore of a pirate bay and I watched it with my gal pals. Oh, you watched a not high quality version. No, and like upon reflection, I hadn't even kissed a guy, but I was watching that. Like that's quite a lot. Rated R for strong sexual content.
Starting point is 00:16:43 You know. So it wasn't restricted to 16? No, I don't think so. It's American rating, so it is. R is 16, yeah. In New Zealand, okay. But in some countries it was R18, and in some countries it wouldn't have even played.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Shannon! I know, and like, yeah, it's quite intense thinking I hadn't kissed a guy, but I was watching that being like, yeah, good stuff. On the brothers, Sid John's cross. Yeah yeah good stuff on the brothers St John's Cross like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah like why is she standing
Starting point is 00:17:11 like that first kiss you're ever with a guy you're like alright where's the red room yeah where is that you know it jeez
Starting point is 00:17:17 play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley Fletchborn and Hayley. Fletchborn and Hayley, silly little pole, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Right, you little beauties. Have you ever used a fake ID? Yeah, Dunedin police are expecting about 80% of all fake IDs to come flooding in in the next two weeks. Of the fake IDs that they receive for the year. How are they going to do that? Normally they're handed in by the bars. Yeah. Oh, so they take them off the patrons.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah. Oh, so they take them off the patrons. Yeah. Because if you were like moi, and you were like on the younger end of your school year, when do they, they kind of will take you to April, maybe the odd occasion. Yeah, so there's May. Yeah, a lot of first years might be 17. 17 for a couple of months. But all their friends are going out for O-Week, and they're like, well, I'll just, you know, either buy a fake ID, change an actual ID or use somebody else's. Or whereas back in the day when the drinking age was 20,
Starting point is 00:18:35 they just kind of turned a blind eye to it, didn't they? I mean, you're in Dunedin and of course you're a first year. Things were loose back then, weren't they? Things were a little bit loose. The ID didn't have photos on it. It was a paper driver's licence and when you got your restricted, you'd keep your learners
Starting point is 00:18:49 and you'd sell it to someone. Yeah. Loose back in the day. But yeah, so they're saying a $250 ticket is a starting point. Oh, that's fine. And a call to mum and dad. And then it's worse.
Starting point is 00:19:00 I reckon a call to mum and dad's got to be worse. But it's also worse if you're altering an official government ID document. Surely a call to mum and dad's got to be worse. But it's also worse if you're altering an official government ID document. Surely the call to mum and dad is, I've got this fee, you need to pay that. Well, that's what they say in this article, is that a call to the parents normally sorts it out. Nothing worse than disappointing mum and dad.
Starting point is 00:19:19 You know, if you're sending them off and they're not yet 18, they're going to find a way. Like I said on Jurassic Park, life finds a way. Life finds a way. Life finds a way. Well, have you used a fake ID? These are the percentages of which our audience responded. 63% said no, they haven't used a fake ID.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Wow. 37% have used a fake ID. Respectable. Yeah, kind of reflected in studio. I've never used one. Wow. 37% have used a fake ID. Respectable. Yeah. Kind of reflected in studio. I've never used one. No. But Hayley has. I have, yeah. I used to share one with my best friend who looks utterly nothing like me. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Becca also messaged in. I was younger than all of my school friends, so had to have one for going out. Had to. Had to. The worst part was that the girl whose ID I used I always thought was a bit of my school friends, so had to have one for going out. Had to. The worst part was that the girl whose ID I used, I always thought was a bit of a minger. So every time the ID worked,
Starting point is 00:20:10 I was secretly a little bit devastated that apparently I would look enough like this minger. It's a little bit hurt. Becca. Not a minger. Don't call her a minger, and you're not a minger either. But if it worked,
Starting point is 00:20:20 and you thought she was a minger, then that's... It does sound like they were both mingers. Sounds like we've got a pack of mingers on our hands. Well, at least two of them. Yeah. Emily said, I did the classic scratch the 98 to make it look like 1993 on my licence. It worked pretty well for a few months.
Starting point is 00:20:37 When I finally got caught by a bouncer at a club, they were going to file a police report, which this place was known for doing. But I was never contacted by the police, so I got away with it. I've never told my parents, and that was over 10 years ago. We've told them now. Still looking over your shoulder, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all going to catch up with me one day. Hayley said, no, but my sister
Starting point is 00:20:58 stole my ID and then proceeded to try to use it at our very small town's nightclub. Safe to say they knew she was not I. Yeah, that's a popular one, isn't it? Using older sisters. I was always jealous of my friends that had older sisters. Oh, yeah? Yeah, because it was a much better chance
Starting point is 00:21:14 to have you. Yeah, I could have used my brothers. Samuel. What would you have had to do to look more like Sam? Not much. Shave your head, but hey, do you want to go out and drink or not? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have a couple of pre's
Starting point is 00:21:27 beforehand. Mira says, no, I'm not that desperate. But then there's a smirky face that tells me she is desperate. Oh, that's a big lie.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yes, before I was 18, said Shannon, as if the photo being completely unlike me wasn't a giveaway, the bouncer asked me what my star sign was and then laughed
Starting point is 00:21:43 at the look of pure terror on my face. They don't know. You've got to do your research. Yeah. But also the bouncers don't know. That was a trick. They're just trying to scare you. What's your star sign?
Starting point is 00:21:53 Yeah. Like tourists, they'd be like, oh, okay. Yeah. They're not going, but your birth date's da-da-da-da-da. Yeah. They don't know. They don't. They've got no idea.
Starting point is 00:21:59 But they're just going to shoot you wanting to keep you on your toes. Mm-hmm. Chelsea said, where'd a fake ID in good old Palmy North and one girl would get on it, pass it to our friend who was over 18. She'd walk out with it
Starting point is 00:22:10 to the next underager in the line. I think three or four of us would use it to get into... Wild. Of course, we're not condoning any of this behaviour. I said earlier on.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Absolutely. We don't condone crime. We do not condone crime here. I once used my mate's ID right after she used it. Obviously, it didn't work. No, I've done that. I got into a club and then chucked it back to Jess,
Starting point is 00:22:32 and then she used the same one. That's wild. Yeah. I had a very talented friend who could use a black pen, a highlighter, and some twink to turn the three in 1993 into an O, and we could go into town before we turned 18. In hindsight, I can't believe we got away with it. I could never make anything look good once you twinked it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 No. It's all crusty and flaky. Like changing school reports. Yeah. Because you'd have to test the pen to make sure it was exactly the same shade. Yeah. Before you went in to change a, I don't know, what could you change? A minus to a plus just to get you out of that much trouble?
Starting point is 00:23:07 Joe said, around 2003, 2005, I would have been between 13 and 15. I used my cousin's 18 plus card to go clubbing in good old West Auckland. I don't want any 13 to 15 year old out in West Auckland. You should be tucked up in bed. Schnoozing.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Watching a fun movie. He's saying this because... With your dad. Because he has a 12-year-old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 13-year-old. 13-year-old. I used my own ID with a lot of confidence when I was 16.
Starting point is 00:23:33 They were so confused and they were just bad at maths. I just handed it over like, of course I'm 18. I don't know if your strategy should be like hoping they're bad at maths. I don't think they could do it now, right? Because they'll just know the minimum year. There's a thing I've seen at the supermarket where... Oh, yeah, and I've seen these in liquor stores. Yeah, that basically this is your first port of call.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Check the year if it's anything less than this. They can't buy booze. Yeah. And then if this is the month currently, so if it's anything after this or before this, scrap it. So surely they'd have one of those handy. Surely. That is today's Silly Little Pole.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I'm going to begin this with an apology. I need to make an on-air apology. I said next I was going to share an idea for a playlist that a woman talked about online. It's a homosexual man. And I assumed because in this article it referenced the men that this person is
Starting point is 00:24:26 homosexual men are basically women he said as a joke of course I'm only trying to do a heartfelt apology I thought I would take this time in pride month to just say
Starting point is 00:24:42 gay dudes are basically chicks man they just love it I have of course a jest, a joke To just say gay dudes are basically chicks, man. Yeah, wow. They just love it. I have a chest. I joke. That is not my thoughts. We're deeply embedded in the homosexual community. So this is a guy who shared,
Starting point is 00:24:55 this is a playlist that he has been curating since he was 19 years old, over 14 years. How many songs? 75. And it's not only, so basically. He adds a song every time he sleeps with someone. Well, so reading it, it doesn't necessarily have to have gone all the way. But any time he engages sexually with someone.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Okay. He's gay 14 years, 75. I know. He's been holding back. This horse is slow. We've got a slow horse on our hands. We's been holding back. This horse is slow. We've got a slow horse on our hands. So at 19 he was at a student
Starting point is 00:25:31 bar at university. He was on a dance floor. He saw a boy across the room. They started dancing. They had a big kiss on the dance floor. Just as the final chorus of Rihanna's We Found Love began playing. Great song.
Starting point is 00:25:46 So the next morning, he said he fired up his iPod Touch, started a playlist that at the time had no name, but now it's called How You Remind Me. Okay. And he put that on. And then the next time he kissed- Except if Fletch was, you know, the leading show
Starting point is 00:26:06 anchor that he claims to be, he would have my auxiliary cord up so I could play, because you remember the Dickie chord, it's been replaced I've replaced the Dickie chord, Dickie chord's gone Fantastic, we ask, we receive If it had it up, I would have been like Oh great, that's fantastic. We're kissing on the dance floor He's added this to a playlist
Starting point is 00:26:21 Then it becomes a tradition after over 14 years. And it doesn't always have to be the song that was playing. He's like, it's not a playlist of songs that I've slept to. It's like how you remind me. How you remind me of the vibe. What if your songs are dud though?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Your songs are dud. The week later after the rejection from We Found Love Boy, he went to a bar. It was a country-themed bar, and he soon hooked up with a guy, and then his song was Barefoot Blue Jean Night by Jake Owens. It was sort of a country vibe. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And then so sometimes the song represents an essence of the person. Yeah. He said, Mariah Carey makes no less than seven appearances on this playlist. Wow. Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Tony Braxton, Beyonce, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga. Okay. I should have known it was a gay man. Yeah, a lot of gay icons. I'm embarrassed that I thought it was a woman.
Starting point is 00:27:10 This is, what song would you be? Hmm, if I was on someone's playlist? This is me. Is this what you want to be? I want to be crazy from. Just erratic. Because you saw his little doodle in the music video, remember? Yeah, you did. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And that's you, is it? You proud of that? I don't know if this is good. Crazy from was my representative song. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Bling, bling, blah, blah, blah, blah. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Can we have a sense of a professional environment? We're just talking yoga. Because we're about to talk yoga. Vaughan says he doesn't eat yoga. I don't eat yoga. I have yoga every single morning. It's like a dairy food. It's gut health.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I have the protein yoga. I mean, you shouldn't be eating the sugary, sugary yoga. No, no, no. That's a treaty. That's a treaty. This is why I don't bother doing research on anything. I just ask Fletch because he will have spent... When you've got nothing to do and time on your hands,
Starting point is 00:28:06 this is the sort of shenanigans you get up to. What kind of yoghurt do you eat? Do you eat the coconut yoghurt? I eat the kefir yoghurt because that's good for your gut. You can't call them that anymore. I'm having a lot of fun talking about yoghurt. There was a study in the news last week because you know that there's this insane spike in young people getting colon cancer?
Starting point is 00:28:29 Yeah. They're like, you've got to be eating yogurt. Also get your butt checked. Get your gut health sorted. Yes. It's so delish, too. I don't know about that. I like it.
Starting point is 00:28:37 It's a little treat. It's like a strawberry. What's the minimum? What is your yogurt called? Cafe yogurt. Cafe. How do I spell that? Just anything with a little bit of that. That's a lime plant. Or Greek yogurt called? Cafe yogurt. Cafe. How do I spell that? Just anything with a light name.
Starting point is 00:28:46 That's a lime plant. Or Greek yogurt. Or Greek yogurt. Or just natural. I don't support the Greeks. Just have a... Jeez. Okay, I'm looking.
Starting point is 00:28:55 There is a reason behind yogurt chat. Because Shannon's influenced the yogurt world over the course of the weekend. You are welcome. Yes. How did you do this? So I love, I have a yogurt every morning. And if you eat- Everybody apart from me has a yogurt.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Do you eat yogurt? Yep. It's literally in my bag right now. So you've got to be eating yogurt every day. So I've got a Greek yogurt, and then I've popped some blueberries in there, and then I'm going to mix in some special- You've got antioxidants.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Oh my God. Is anybody still rocking one of those yogurts that you make at home, Cor? Easy yo. Easy yo. My dad used to really crank an easy yo. I was running late this morning so all I had was protein yoga and some raspberries in it. It was delish.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yeah, see, you've got to be eating yoga. When should I be having my yoga? Yvonne just wants to go home and buy those chocolate ones you just squeeze and... That was when the kids were young and they'd get home and buy those chocolate ones you just squeeze and... That was when the kids were young they'd get sucky pouches and you'd just be like...
Starting point is 00:29:49 Every now and then I go to the supermarket if I feel like I might give myself a little sucky pouch. Yum! Okay. Well yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:56 so I have protein yogurt every morning and I discovered the greatest brand. I don't know how to say it but I see. I see? Right.
Starting point is 00:30:04 It's a New Zealand company. I was having it here at work. I see. Is there a say it Icy It's a New Zealand company I was having it here at work Icy Seeker Yogurt I found it I-S-E-Y And then Sky with an R on the end Icy Seeker Icy Seeker
Starting point is 00:30:14 I was having it here in the office And one of our wonderful ZM team Comes over and says My uncle runs this company And I said Let me kiss his feet and say thank you This is the greatest yogurt I've ever had Let me kiss his feet and say thank you. This is the greatest yoga I've ever had.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Let me kiss his feet. I don't know if I'm kissing any strange man's feet. Or this yoga. What are you up to? I'm just going to go, my friend's uncle, I'm going to go kiss
Starting point is 00:30:33 my friend's uncle's feet. Yeah. Well, then, a week or so later, disappeared off the shelves. I went to four supermarkets looking for this. I went online.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I looked on Uber Eats. I got desperate. Oh my God, she is desperate. I would never open Uber Eats Oh, wow. I went online. I looked on Uber Eats. I got desperate. Oh my god, she is desperate. I would never open Uber Eats thinking, yogurt. Yeah. I'm here for burgers. No, I do my shopping, so I was like looking and I was on the hunt. Anyway, so I come up
Starting point is 00:30:56 to our wonderful team member and I said, where's the yogurt? Hook me up. And she said, my uncle had knee surgery. He's not doing the biz. Wait, so without his knee, yogurt just absolutely ceases to be produced. What, around the whole country? Now, I'm confused too,
Starting point is 00:31:10 but according to Caitlin, her uncle's knee was the... Her uncle's knee went out and his whole business went to oil. Maybe he's a one-man... I am a business consultant, but I would say that's a glaring weakness in your business. Sounds like he's a one-man yogurt machine.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah, and so I said to her, get out your phone. You simply must message him. I would pay, I think I said $1,000 for a creme brulee yogurt. You don't even have that money lying around. I'd go in debt. I'd afterpay. I'd mortgage my lease. I don't know how it works.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's pronounced essay scare, someone said. Right. But I've never tried the creme brulee favour. That's all I want in my life is to try the creme brulee. I've tried all the others. It's incredible. I said, Caitlin, get your uncle on the phone. Where are they?
Starting point is 00:31:54 She hounds her poor uncle recovering from surgery. And he said, don't worry, Shannon. It's back this week. Because he's out of hospital. No applause. Well, I mean, at the start of this break, you learn I'm just not a fan of yoghurt, so. Well, can the others applaud?
Starting point is 00:32:12 I'm bringing back yoghurt to the people. I mean, the supermarket was full of all kinds of other yoghurts. I mean, apparently Costco has trays of it. I don't have a membership. I've always used our. Scare, scare, yoghurt. I used to scare. Wait a minute. Hold've always said skirr skirr yogurt. I used to say skirr.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Wait a minute. Hold your Icelandic horses. You can't buy a tray of yogurt. How long does yogurt last? Ages. Quite a long time. Yeah, like two weeks. This is another great reason to have it in the fridge, mate. You just leave it there.
Starting point is 00:32:38 The kids always have yogurt. Yesterday I came into the lounge because it was like 3 o'clock and they were like, oh, we're hungry. And I said, can we have a yogurt? And I said, yes, because there's those little strawberry fresh and fruities in the fridge. And I came back and they had a one-litre container of vanilla bean yogurt each eating straight out of the container.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I was like, what am I, raising animals? Yeah. Put it in a bowl. And why have you got one litre? Good gut health, though. Good gut health. Each. You're delish.
Starting point is 00:33:02 For those. All right, well, your drink on power, Shannon. I feel so good and I tell you, the day I get to try this creme brulee, I peaked. 25 peaked. I would say it does sound like he had already planned to have them back out, so I don't know if it's that you've kind of...
Starting point is 00:33:16 I think that it's his niece's friend begged him to recover. He said, I will bring my business back to personally find creme brulee. She did say to me that I might be able to do a factory tour. Is Creme Brulee on the gutter? Factory. I would actually be down for that.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I love factories. I just love factories. You get to wear little shoe covers. Do you remember we saw the biscuits? Biscuits being made. Oh, my God. Amazing. Just an absolute career highlight to go to the, was it Griffin's Biscuits?
Starting point is 00:33:41 I liked the bread factories. Yeah, it was. I went to the bread factory as a child. I think that's where my love of factories starts. I went to the Pepsi bottling plant once on an economics trip. That was cool. Except we got told off because they had this bin of old ones out the back and we stabbed them with compasses.
Starting point is 00:33:56 We got in trouble because we were naughty. Morons of the late. And then Rochelle stole something from the Monaco mall and the police got called. And the morons were children were never invited back. What a wild field trip. We should do a photo one day of the wildest thing
Starting point is 00:34:10 that happened on your field trip. We should. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. I tell you what, Wellington was utterly stunning this weekend. I didn't have one of its days.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Oh, did it? It had one of its weekends. Oh, oh. Oh my God. You can't beat it. You can't beat it. But did it borrow another good day from the next six months, so now it's going to be like 12 months without another one?
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah, yeah, basically. Oh, no. It was gorgeous. And I went down as part of New Zealand Fringe, and I performed a couple of gigs. You don't have a fringe? Yeah, I cut it, but I've pinned it back. You've pinned back your bangs.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah, yeah. Fringe Festival. Fringe Festival. Yeah, you don't have a fringe to enter. Oh, I didn't know that. That's the criteria. Or a fringe jacket, had a yeah. Fringe Festival. Fringe Festival. Yeah, you can have a fringe tent. Oh, I didn't know that. That's the criteria. Or a fringe jacket, had a fringe. Would you still, I jest, of course,
Starting point is 00:34:50 because fringe means the fringes of entertainment. Would you consider yourself a fringe artist? You are mainstream as these days. No, I'm not. I'm very alternative. You are a commercial radio DJ. You're a shock jock. No.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Should I say something shocking? Yeah, so as part of it I just did a couple of gigs In Petonia It was beautiful I lay up to it Great time And then went out
Starting point is 00:35:14 In the town Was a sposter She did this last night She went There's something about that city It gets into you doesn't it? It gets into me It does
Starting point is 00:35:22 It makes you a bad girl I was like around the corner from my accommodation and then suddenly I was in town. I was in town. You know, I was in town
Starting point is 00:35:29 and even at one point I said to my friends, okay, fine, I'll come into town for a couple of drinks but I'm setting an alarm and I'm in that Uber at two.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yep. I wasn't. I am. Yeah, I got home at seven. Anyway. I am. Hayley,
Starting point is 00:35:44 you're sprawling. It gets in my skin. AM. Hayley, you sprawled. It gets in my skin. It gets into my skin. Jesus Christ. Unbelievable. I know. I also changed my flight home twice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:53 All right. Hayley sprawled. It was not a flexi. It was flexi. I was enjoying my time in Wellington. So I was like, why not stay longer? I think I'd been up two hours when your message at 7 AM said, just go to bed. I've outsold myself because I woke up. I went to bed? I think I'd been up two hours when your message at 7am said, just go to bed.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I vowed sorry for myself because I woke up, I went to bed at 10 and I woke up at 2 and I could not get back to sleep. I had a little insomnia. Yeah. And I was like, boo-hoo, I've only had four hours sleep. You beat me because you had no sleep. No hours sleep.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Anyway, it was great. It was great. I was catching up with old friends and whatnot. And it was the last minute. I'd changed my flight, but i had to leave the hotel right so i was packing up my bag jamming it all in there only had carry on okay and i had all you know i had planned an evening i had planned a quiet night at the hotel room for saturday night i was not supposed to be out in town at all so when i had packed my bag for my quiet evening
Starting point is 00:36:44 by myself in a hotel room, I had brought friends. I know what you're saying. You know what I mean? I packed some friends. Yeah, yeah. I packed some nice assistant friends. Fully charged?
Starting point is 00:36:52 Fully charged. Charger also packed. Charger also packed. Good. Who knows what's going to happen. Because God forbid you forget your charger like that trip we were on, that work trip. God, we heard about that, didn't we?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Oh, no. Mid. You know? And then what? Then what? I know. Do, do, do, do, do. Anyway, so, but anyway, none of that happened because I was out till seven anyway.
Starting point is 00:37:14 So do you know what I mean? Like a waste of time. Anyway, put that all in and got to the Wellington security. And you will remember last time when we all travelled together, same thing. Bag pulled over, and then that guy, you guys were laughing at me because we thought they were going to pull it out, and then he chased after us and said, we can see it. Remember he said that to you guys?
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, I know what it is. We see it, we know what it is. Well, bag goes through, pulled out again. The bag gets taken to the side. And there's a man and a woman at the security going through the bags and the fella gets my bag. And I was like, well,
Starting point is 00:37:53 you know, maybe I'll say something if we get there. But they do that thing, you know, where they've got the bag, but before they open the bag to have a look through, they're looking at the screen, trying to piece it all together, you know? And he's really analysing it.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Young guy too, like early 20s. Do you think he's new to the job and he doesn't know what the number one selling adult fun toy in the world looks like? Yeah, the version three. On x-ray. Yeah, yeah. So I think he was just really trying.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I could see it because all that else, anything else, there's a toilet bag, clothes and that. Yup. So I could see him figuring it out and I was like how long do I leave it before I just say, why don't you get your work mate just to have a little look. The female. We could just like hurry this up. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:38:38 Because she's going to know exactly she's going to see it and go, you're good. Because of the type of battery in them you're not allowed to put them in, and you didn't have any checked in luggage. No check in, no. But that's what I'm saying. They must see these things come through all the time.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Every second bag. All the time, because you are supposed to have them in your carry-on. Because we are ladies of pleasure and ladies of business. We are ladies of pleasure and business. You're right, Vaughan, we are. Surely this every second bag has one of these, and as Fletch indicated earlier, one of the best selling of all time. Of course. But it was
Starting point is 00:39:07 so funny watching the penny drop. He was just taking so long and I just held eye contact. He wasn't looking at me but I was just like, the moment you look up, dude, I'm going to let you off the hook. And I'll just say one little thing, be like, yeah, I can tell you
Starting point is 00:39:24 what it is or you might want to get your friend to have a little rummage or whatnot. And then his eyes just going, oh, no, you're okay. And then like, gave me the bag. Oh, no, okay, no, you're all good. You're all clear. It would be funny, it would be fun to, you know, those hard plastic cases that have always got foam?
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yes, yep. Have one of those and get the foam cutouts and just have a selection of adult fun toys. With their own inserts. And just see what it looks like. Like a sniper in a movie. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Except the target is herself. But just to see what it looked like going through the x-ray machine
Starting point is 00:40:00 and just to see them be like, holy shit. Wow, she's having a weekend. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Well, it's out today, later today on Neon, the very first episode of one of my favourite TV shows. Yeah, me too. Season three, The White Lotus. I know.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Right now, we're talking to Morgana O'Reilly, who is our very own Kiwi representative in the show. Good morning, Morgana. Hello, Morena. How are you? Katie, always nge nge. But Katie, very happy to have you on the show. Now, I watched the first episode last night
Starting point is 00:40:34 and you are in it within the first 15 minutes. And I was like, there she is. I was like, there she is. And I was expecting you to be cast as an American. Maybe Australian. I did notice the twang, yes. Yeah, the little twang, just a little bit of elongating of the vowels. Was it ever discussed that you would play an American?
Starting point is 00:40:56 Or were you like, no, I want to be from the Southern Hemisphere? No. So when the audition came through, the character was Australian. So I did it in Australian. Off it went. Got the role. How nice. So easy.
Starting point is 00:41:10 How lovely. How straightforward. And then when I had a chat with Mike White and I said to him, hey, would you consider me making her a Kiwi? I mean, that's very niche and you haven't had that on the show before and all that. And he just went, oh, sure, do whatever you like. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And then I pained over it because I was like, oh, my goodness, he doesn't realize how big a – what that means, you know. Like that's a – it's not do whatever you like. It's a difference that you have to, if you know, you know. And so I pinged over it and I tried, it was looking back ridiculously overthought, but like I would, I literally, I got friends to sit down, sit there. What do you like?
Starting point is 00:41:57 What's better? This version. And I would do the character as a Kiwi or this version. And I'd do the character as an Australian. And it would always be them being like, oh, man, the Australians. So what was it like when you found out that you were on White Lotus? Because this is a show that has won a million awards. It's brilliantly made.
Starting point is 00:42:17 It's very clever. Globally, everyone's like, this is a good show. Every actor wants to be on this show. Yeah. No, it was just the best. I mean, this is a good show. Every actor wants to be on this show. Yeah. No, it's just, it was the best. I mean, it's just the best. It's like all the dreams and all the things, you know? And that wonderful thing of like, even if as a smaller role,
Starting point is 00:42:37 it's a show where all the small roles are, you remember. So what was it like? You fly into Thailand for the filming and there's this incredible cast. What was it like when you get to see all of them and meet all of them? Yeah, we stayed at the Four Seasons in Koh Samui, which is just, I mean, rich people don't deserve it. So is it where they,
Starting point is 00:43:00 because they've filmed all of these shows at Four Seasons, right? And they rebrand them as White Lotus. Is that right? Yes, and in Tara's. We went to a few different places. because they've filmed all of these shows at Four Seasons, right? And they rebrand them as White Lotus. Is that right? Yes. And in Tara's, we went to a few different places. We filmed at the Rosewood. Oh, I can talk about hotel stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:13 I couldn't do that before. Did you take the little soap shampoo conditioner bottles? I took them. Because they sound like they'd be pretty flash at those hotels. Yeah, right. Oh, it's all flash. It's all flash. It's so flash you don't care about little shampoos you're just like look at my private pool wow i know i was so taken so i look at my villa and then you know when i go to set for the first
Starting point is 00:43:38 time which is where they're shooting the character villas and i was like my villas are dumb this it's just insanely beautiful and every little detail is thought about it's really like quite opening to see how the one percent yeah yeah I want to be in the one percent I'll be honest I'll help people along the way but I want to be so funny as I was like I I had this sudden maybe this is very Kiwi of me, but rustic to say the least. But I was like, I'm so glad that I'm only just coming here now. Like if I don't, and my kids came up for a week. They did a week at the Four Seasons and a week in another one in Phuket.
Starting point is 00:44:19 My daughter is still, she still sometimes goes, oh yeah, it's not as good as the Four Seasons. Oh my God, no. They've got a taste. Don't get them used to that. The irony of that comment though is that this show is about the 1% and the casting,
Starting point is 00:44:33 even just watching last night's first episode, again, it's brilliantly cast. There are some serious problems for these characters. It looks like it's going to be one hell of a season. I'm so excited. It's going to be so great. What was Walter Goggins
Starting point is 00:44:48 like? Because he's obviously there with a mission. I don't want to say too much about the first episode, but he's a brilliant actor. He's such an awesome guy as well. He's so wonderful and hilarious in rock and roll. I know he takes his work very, very seriously.
Starting point is 00:45:04 So when he's in his zone, that's not Walton anymore. But off set, he's great. It would be such a nice thing for a Kiwi like you that's worked on such low budget projects in New Zealand before, like your own staff and the TV we make
Starting point is 00:45:20 in New Zealand. Because there's no money, that means there's no time to actually like play around. Did you have a bit more of that? To be honest, like on set itself felt pretty familiar. There was definitely more resources, so many cameras, like, and of course, I guess, and do you know where the time goes? There's a lot of the times three cameras at work. And what most people don't understand is that when you've got three cameras rolling at one time,
Starting point is 00:45:49 the setup time between shots is extra long because each camera has to be lit and each camera has to be put in a position where it can't see the other camera. Yeah. And each camera has to have lighting that, you know, so that's, I think there's a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Yeah, true. For it to look extra lush. And then obviously lots of budget for our locations and things like that. Probably a powder budget as well for filming in Thailand. I'd just be, I'd be so sweaty. I'm sweaty in a studio with air con. I mean, I just looked like, I felt like there would be in the
Starting point is 00:46:26 middle of a scene you know and look talking to jason isaacs and knowing that i'm in a good light but in real life you'd be like that you know you'd be yeah yeah and i just i'm pretty sure it looks like i've stepped out of a swimming pool yeah i think part of my character if i'm developing the character she's just constantly like she has a temperature thing yeah yeah yeah it's always out of a swimming pool. Yeah, yeah. I think part of my character, if I'm developing the character, she's just constantly, like she has a temperature thing. She's never adapted to the humidity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always going to play havoc with her.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Well, we love the White Lotus and the new season is... So proud to have a Kiwi in there. Yeah, streaming now. It's out on Neon and Sky's HBO channel right now. Morgana O'Reilly, thank you so much. Hooray! Thanks, guys.

Starting point is 00:47:16 ZM, you can text 9696 or contact us via social media. What's the wildest thing that happened on a school field trip? Because I told you we went to the Pepsi bottling factory in Whitty in South Auckland. The year would have been 1998.
Starting point is 00:47:28 And why were you at a bottling factory? Mr. Cochran, our economics teacher, loved field trips. And he also loved Pepsi. Rough hand day as a teacher. Yeah, I'm going to be a teacher. With that name? Yeah, I know. He got away with it.
Starting point is 00:47:42 He got away with it. I don't know how he got away with it. Was he tough? No, he wasn't. He was away with it. He got away with it. I don't know how he got away with it. Was he tough? No, he wasn't. He was a soft touch. Okay. Interesting. A con at us, he used to ride on the board.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Like, that's the thing. He had that name and he was a nerd, but like a lovable nerd. And I think everyone was like, to his target. Okay, right. Let's go tease Mr. Brown Sword because he only wears brown cords exclusively. Oh, that's... Brown cords. If your name's Brown Sword,
Starting point is 00:48:05 don't wear brown cords as your choice of paint. Yeah. Anyway, he took us on a field trip at the Pepsi bottling plant. We found a thing out the back of like seconds or something was wrong
Starting point is 00:48:14 and it was all like over-carbonated or something and we had a compass and we were stabbing them and making soda fountains and he was like, stop, stop, stop. We're on a field trip
Starting point is 00:48:23 where I'm representing Morrinsville College and we're just like, yeah, I know, bang, bang, bang. But they were being thrown out, stop, stop, stop. We're on a field trip. We're representing Morrinsville College. And we're just like, yeah, I know. Bang, bang, bang, bang. But they were being thrown out, obviously, right? Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen to them. People are already texting in. They've got it.
Starting point is 00:48:33 They've got it. They're into it. The field trip. I love this. We thought we were in trouble. But then we were overshadowed because on the way back from Woody at the Pepsi bottling plant, we stopped at Manukau Shopping Centre. We're small town kids.
Starting point is 00:48:48 There's a McDonald's beside a KFC and what the hell is a kebab? The year is 1998. We weren't even interested in sushi. And Rochelle got done for shoplifting. Rochelle got done for shoplifting? What did she shoplift?
Starting point is 00:49:02 It was one of those stores that there used to be heaps of that sold like weird gothy trinkets. Like Mr. Thank You. Nah, like crystals and dragons that you put pets in their mouths. Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great, love it. And all this sort of jazz. What did she shoplift a dragon? I think she shoplifted something from there,
Starting point is 00:49:16 but she got caught, so she had to return it. And then it was like on the bus and we were all like, she was taking the roll and where's Rochelle? And then Rochelle was getting bloody frog marched out. Wait, you left Rochelle behind? No, no, no, because we couldn't find her. And so the teacher went back in and that's when he found her because it was before mobile phones.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Like, our parents just sent us into the wild hoping that the school would return us. Yeah, right. She's getting hauled over the... She's getting rocked over the hot coals in the security office. And so Mr. Cochran goes and bows her right again. Great guy. Yeah. Don't have a bad word to say about him.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Rough name. He's more security like Cochran. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds Great guy. Yeah. Don't have a bad word to say about him. Rough name. He's more security like Cochran. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds a lot like something else. You're a teacher. And so, yeah, we were late back because he had to spend all this time and there was chaos on the bus. Okay, well, these are the exact stories we want.
Starting point is 00:49:57 0800 DALZADAM. You can text through 9696. How a ride did the school field trip go? What happened? Oh, some incredible messages. So good. Great news. The shop that Rochelle stole from in 1998 is still open in Monaco.
Starting point is 00:50:12 It's called Rivendell. Oh, I thought you were going to say they've texted in to say she still owes us that. The lovely Rochelle. The dragon with an orb in its mouth. Yes. So many messages and calls coming in. Tyra, what was the scandal that happened on your school field trip? Morning.
Starting point is 00:50:29 So I'm a teacher, and we went on our school camping trip for year seven and eight. Yep. And there was no reception at this place. On the first night, we played Spotlight, as you can imagine, with about 400 kids. And one kid tri tripped over like the what are they called the something ropes like where you forgot what the name is the not high ropes but the kind of kind of like the confidence course broke his arm oh no middle middle of nowhere so no section yeah we also had a student teacher that fell asleep in the bush, in the out of,
Starting point is 00:51:06 in the out of, kind of like in the zone that the kids were supposed to be looking for, so we were looking for him for like another 40 minutes. And then on the second night, we had a kid with a like highly allergic reaction, again waiting for the AMBO, two kids vomiting, and then to top it all off, we came back, because it was the beginning of 2020, had no reception at this place. We got back to school and we were going into lockdown. So I had no idea that was happening. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:51:32 So, yeah, it was a bit of a hectic camp. That is a nightmare. Wild. Okay, well, at least nobody was shoplifting. At least nobody was shoplifting. Yeah, actually, thank God. If we look on the bright side. Thank you, Tyra.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Rebecca, what happened on your school field trip? Kia ora. Kia ora. So it was my very first year of teaching. I'd probably been teaching for about two months. Yeah. And we were going into town, into Auckland City on the school bus, and we went to go off the motorway, off the off-ramp, and the bus kind of started fishtailing
Starting point is 00:52:08 and didn't slow down. And we were all about, this is strange. And then all of a sudden it kind of veered to the right towards where the motorway was below us and mounted the Armco railing, knocked the fence down, and, yeah, the bus was kind of teetering on the edge of the off-ramp
Starting point is 00:52:28 probably, I think it was about 20 metres above the motorway. Oh my gosh. This is when Spider-Man comes in and pulls the bus back up and that didn't happen. Far out. It would have been great if he could have, but yeah, we ended up
Starting point is 00:52:43 on police 10-7, So that was a little exciting Did you get to pull that thing and it blows the back door off the bus? I've always wanted to do that Same But I don't want to be in a crash Neither Yeah that's true And did they blow your faces on police 10-7?
Starting point is 00:52:59 No they didn't Two months into teaching and you're on police 10-7. We're talking about when your field trips just went sideways, when bad things happen. I love this text because it gives you three things that happened on one field trip with zero context. Yep. It just reads,
Starting point is 00:53:16 a ranch slider slipped out of the rail and fell on my best friend, smashing all over her. Then my now husband threw an apple and hit the Christian performers in their head when they were on stage. And Shiloh, we know nothing more about Shiloh apart from Shiloh fed the goldfish crayon shavings. Great. Say no more, actually. Like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:53:34 Say no more. Catholic school went to a retreat day at the church. We had to all leave our bags in the dining room. End of the day, we went back and lots of people's phones and iPods and iPads had been stolen out of our bags. And we were complaining to the leader of the church and he told us it must be all part of God's plan. And we were like, that's not going to cut it here, mate. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Someone just says two deaths, two separate trips. That's all they say. No details. Oh, my God. We went to the poop ponds for our school trip. We were told to get away from the fence, told to get away from the fence, told to get away from the fence, told to get away from the fence, told to get away from the fence. Someone fell in.
Starting point is 00:54:08 That's got to be sweet for the person working there. And what was your resulting nickname going forward at school? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably just Poupons. Yeah, probably just Poupons. Poupons, yeah. And then it evolves and you start saying the French accent. Oh, it's Poupons.
Starting point is 00:54:22 And then by the time you get your leavers jersey, five or six years later, it's still Poupons. Yeah, it doesn't say Sproul or Fletcher. It says P, it's Poupons. And then by the time you get your leavers jersey, five or six years later, it's still Poupons. Yeah, it doesn't say Sproul or Fletcher, it says Poupons. Poupons.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Poupons. Week long, year 10 camp, two days in, all the deodorants and hand sanitizers weren't missing. Two days later, two of the boys were
Starting point is 00:54:37 really unwell. It turns out they'd stolen everybody's deodorant and hand sanitizer and were huffing and drinking them. That's not even the worst thing.
Starting point is 00:54:45 We woke up one morning, some of the kids were gone. It turns out two girls were like, nah, we've had enough of this and decided they were going to hitchhike back home. It's a four-hour drive. Oh, my God. So we just lost two school-aged children. On my brother's preschool trip, they went to Hamilton Zoo. When they walked in and went to see the little monkeys by the playground,
Starting point is 00:55:01 they saw one grab a sparrow, rip the head off and start eating it. They were traumatised. Preschool? they saw one grab a sparrow, rip the head off and start eating it. They were traumatised. Preschool? Rip the head off a sparrow? I'm so glad I'm in charge of field trips. Caught up with the best friend on Friday night and I think we expected that maybe we'd sort of have a few drinks
Starting point is 00:55:19 and get into it and have a bit of a night. We went out for a little meal and then we came back and we had one drink and we went God, we have a bit of a night. And maybe we went out for a little meal and then we came back and we had one drink and we went, oh, I'm a bit tired. Oh, I'm feeling a bit tired. And we said, do you know what I feel like watching? It's just like jumping on the couch
Starting point is 00:55:35 and just watching absolute steaming trash film. Like that was the vibe. That was the mood. What pile of garbage are you chucking on? Right. The moment I saw it, I knew it was it. It like landed in my soul. It was Scary Movie 2.
Starting point is 00:55:50 And it was actually. Celebrating 24 years of existence. Came out in 2001. Crazy. Wild. And I like, it's perfect for me. I was 11 or 12 years old then. And it was naughty, you know.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Like so problematic. So naughty. And she was like, oh my God, we've got to watch a scary movie. And I said was naughty, you know. Like so problematic, so naughty. And she was like, oh my God, we've got to watch a scary movie. And I said, we'll watch two, which is the one where they all go to the house and they're all sick. Oh.
Starting point is 00:56:15 So. That. One. The mashed potato. I want to make a mashed potato. That guy, what's his name? Is it the same guy that's in Schitt's Creek? Chris Elliott.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Chris Elliott. Right. So we got to the scene and this is like, it's his name? Is it the same guy that's in Schitt's Creek? Chris Elliott. Chris Elliott. Right. So we got to the scene and this is like, it's so bad, but we got to the scene, take my strong hand. Yeah. He doesn't say that. What does he say? Take my little hand.
Starting point is 00:56:35 He says, my hand's not strong enough. Take my little hand. And we were there, you know, when you're like ready to like watch a film and quote along the line. No, it's take my strong hand. Dude, it's not Take My Strong Hand. And then we went on all the memes online. Take My Strong Hand.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Take My Strong Hand. Not in there. It's the Mandela Effect. Now you talked about the Mandela Effect day where we all think that it's something, but it's actually not. Yeah, it's what you remember it being as something completely different.
Starting point is 00:56:59 And you're absolutely, the Berenstain Bears is like one often mentioned. Right. Because everybody remembers being spelt different. Yeah, right. And it's how you remember things and generally people all remember. But why is it called the Mandela Effect? Was it because everybody thought Nelson Mandela had died
Starting point is 00:57:15 when Nelson Mandela was still very much alive? Right. So you all just agreed he was dead. I'm sure that's why it's called the- It's in the whole world agreeing that you're dead. Is there any swear words in this scene? I found the scene. I don't know if. I've looked at the scene It's in the whole world agreeing that you're dead. Is there any swear words in this scene? I've found the scene. I don't know if...
Starting point is 00:57:26 I've looked at the scene, but I didn't have time to watch it to check. I've got it here, but I don't know if it's got any swear words in it. Yeah, maybe let's not, Vaughan, just to be safe. I don't think it does. He says, give me your other hand. He says, my hand's not strong enough.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Take my little hand. But yet, all the memes and everything... And I've spent my life from 11 years old, my whole life, I quote this daily, you know this of me, from 11 years old to 35 saying, take my strong hand. It's not. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:53 I can hear you all listening. It's appropriate. Okay, so the character played by David Cross is hanging off a light fixture a few stories up and he's going to fall and then the waiter that comes up They're all freaked out
Starting point is 00:58:07 by his hand. Chris Elliott. A lot of this it just I don't think it would get made now. What? Nothing in Scary Movie
Starting point is 00:58:17 would get made now. Here. Oh. Take my hand. Ah. Come on. You're going to fall unless you take my hand No, give me your other hand
Starting point is 00:58:28 No, my other hand isn't strong enough You take my little hand No, get it away from me No, it doesn't, you're right It's just my mind was blown My whole weekend was shook He strokes his head with the back of his little hand And he's like, bleh
Starting point is 00:58:44 And lets go and falls to his death. Anyway, this really freaked me out. I couldn't believe it. Take my strong hand. Take my strong hand. That's literally what I say if anyone ever needs a hand up or anything. You crinkle your hand a bit and you go, take my strong hand. Because of Scary Movie 2.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Over 20 years we've been saying it wrong. It's not take my strong hand. Unbelievable. We were screaming. You's not taking a strong hand. Unbelievable. We just, we were screaming. you've completely rocked my Monday. I rocked my Friday.
Starting point is 00:59:10 How do I, how do I come back from this? I rocked my Friday. Play ZM's Flesh, Fun and Hayley. Now I think it is very healthy for couples
Starting point is 00:59:18 to check in with each other. You know what I mean? How we going? You know, what are we doing? It's good. Communication is key. That's what they always say. It's what Morgan Penn would say if she was here are we doing? It's good. Communication is key. That's what
Starting point is 00:59:25 they always say. It's what Morgan Penn would say if she was here, but she's not. She couldn't be here this morning. Anyway, this is a couple that they sit down once a year towards the end of the year to reflect back, as lots of us do. And what they do is they call it their annual relationship review. They discuss things. I know. You can't say review. That makes it sound like it's a performance review
Starting point is 00:59:54 of work and you're about to be declined a pay rise because the company's really going through some stuff. Yeah. So it's the annual relationship review and they talk about things and, you know, we weren't good here or maybe we lost things here or we did really well here. I was upset when you did this.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Yeah, yeah. I've been holding on to that all year and da-da-da-da-da. I wish we did more of this. And at the end, they rate each other out of... No, they don't. They rate each other out of five stars. Yep, they do. For what they've been like as a
Starting point is 01:00:26 partner for the last year. So this year of 2024, why don't I give you a... You know what? You should both have to write down your number at the same time and just slide it across because if someone goes first, the other person is just going to mark on... Yeah, they'll be like, yeah, you're four. Yeah, I'll do four as well, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:42 They're like four and you're like, oh no, I've written two. How is this? Look, all the communication stuff, the kind of check-in thing at the end of the year, know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've written down two. Oh no, I've written two. How is this? Look, all the communication stuff, the kind of check-in thing at the end of the year, I'm like, okay, I can see that working for a lot of people. The rating?
Starting point is 01:00:54 The rating, no, no, no, no. Out of five stars? And it feels like the check-in is something that could happen more often and the rating doesn't need to happen at all. It's like your Uber rating. It's like, even though it's very close to a five, like mine's a 4.89 or something i'm like what did i do yeah so bad the other time yeah so they do they they go through
Starting point is 01:01:12 and they rate different aspects as well so they try to kind of go how do we go sex you know we had a three this year right communication that was a five quality time that was one but at the end you summarize you as a partner this year we're a three out of five i just when do you call it Communication, that was a five. Quality time, that was a one. But at the end, you summarise, you as a partner this year were a three out of five. When do you call it? When are you like, done? If you dip below a two? Yeah, what if it's a scathing review?
Starting point is 01:01:35 Two twos in a row and you're like... I don't know. But they said they did this after their first year of being together. They've been together for seven years and they do it every year now. And they said they really think that this helps them. It gives them a chance to talk openly, express feelings, explore a number. And how, and it gets them,
Starting point is 01:01:54 I will say they go to like Burning Man. Right. Do you know what I mean? Say no more. Yeah. She's got sort of like glitter and stickers. Right. So do they work in management?
Starting point is 01:02:03 It's got big like management, HR kind of vibes, doesn't it? No. I don't find too many okay. Do they work in management? It's got big like management, HR kind of vibes, doesn't it? No. I don't find too many people with glitter eyebrows work in management. No. They're sort of vibe hires.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Yeah. Vibe hires kind of sit just below that management level at best, right? So they said that within the first year, when they came up with the idea within the first year,
Starting point is 01:02:19 they were like, oh yeah, five out of five. Oh yeah, five out of five. And then like as time goes on, they're like two, one, three, three, four, very honest. One. Yeah, so they get really,
Starting point is 01:02:29 and they say sometimes it can upset them, but they always say at the end they get takeaways and they have a nice night and have a nice day and stuff. But if someone's performing at a one in any part of their relationship, wouldn't you just address it straight away? Rather than wait till the end of the year review? Yeah, fester.
Starting point is 01:02:43 That's called festering. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think you could throw, you know, if perhaps I wasn't going your way in the weeks up to the review, you could say, interesting, and then make a note. Interesting, write a note. We do have that review in a few weeks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Yeah, look, listen, I'm not going to stand here and talk about this and say you guys should do this, you know, to people listening who are thinking, oh, maybe I could get into this. If Aaron came at me with a three out of five stars, he'd get in a situation. He wouldn't be alive, would he? NBC and stars are right. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Saturday night, saw me wake up at 2am four hours after I went to bed. I thought I'll have a little bit of a later night and of course I'll be able to sleep through the night but of course that didn't happen. I woke up and I delayed looking at my screen for a long time but after a while I was like this isn't happening so I opened up Instagram. It's a great thing to do in the middle of the night. It's actually recommended by medical
Starting point is 01:04:00 health professionals. It helps you get back to sleep. It motivates you. It fills your cup. Yeah. It's not a quick little dopamine hit. No, no, no, no. It's actually. It'll spark the brain right into action. It's up there with therapy. I'm not sure where I've read that. It could have been
Starting point is 01:04:15 on Instagram. So it was and then I got served up a clip from a cartoon I used to watch all the time as a younger man. Hey Arnold, which was on Nickelodeon. Loved Hey Arnold. Football head, Hey Arnold. Helga was the bad guy and it was a clip.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And I was like, did Arnold and Helga end up together at the end of Hey Arnold? And so I went into, I started Googling Hey Arnold, what happens and it turns out they did. They did. They ended up together. And that led me on the path. Because she was in love with him.
Starting point is 01:04:46 She was, but she didn't know how to deal with it. And she had borderline personality disorder. A psychiatrist looked into it. Then Hayley, I looked up the guy that did the voice of, hey Arnold, lay torn on. I think he's absolutely right up your alley. It's gone now, but I saw the beard. He's got a beard along here.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Right up your alley. So what is the thing? Wait a minute, I'm getting there. I'm got a beard along here in his, right up your alley. So what is this thing? Wait a minute, I'm getting there. I'm crafting a story over here. You're writing a bloody trilogy. So then I was like, who even invented Hey Arnold? And I Googled him and his name was Craig Bartlett. And then I saw he was married to Lisa Groening.
Starting point is 01:05:17 And I was like, Groening? Matt. Matt Groening is from The Simpsons. He invented The Simpsons. So then I was like, that's interesting. Then I looked at who else was Matt Groening's siblings because I was like, Lisa, Lisa Simpson. He had a sister called Maggie.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Maggie Simpson. And today's Fact of the Day, this week's Fact of the Day theme is The Simpsons. Oh, great. Because I started Googling about interesting facts about The Simpsons. Yeah, you really wasted a lot of time getting to that point. Could have said, but thought I'd craft a story. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Long trim. Do it with a trim. You reckon give it a trim. A little trim. Well, this isn't live. We did it before it gets put on the podcast. You gave us a novel. It feels like more of a novella.
Starting point is 01:05:59 You know what I mean? So then I was looking about it, and today's fact of the day about The Simpsons is how much of The Simpsons was based on Matt Groening's real life. Guess what Matt's parents were called? Marge and Homer. Correct. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:06:14 I feel like people would have known this. His sisters were Lisa and Maggie, had a brother called Mark, who doesn't seem to have penetrated the Simpsons verse, but he had another sister called Patty, and he gave that name to Marge's sister. Patty and Selma. Patty and Selma were Marge's sister. So who's Bart? Bart is him. He thought Matt wasn't a quirky enough name for a lead character, and Bart was a brat, so he took the word brat, rearranged it,
Starting point is 01:06:40 just changed the A and the R and turned it into Bart, which was Bartholomew. Charlie XCX should sue him. I think he could sue. She invented Brat Summer. Or he invented Bart Summer back in 1989. Also, his mother, Marge, before she got married, her maiden name was Wiggum.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Which of course is Chief Wiggum and Ralph Wiggum's name. You know, they live on Evergreen Terrace. He went to Evergreen State College in Springfield, Oregon. Because you know how the census is set in Springfield and they're like, which Springfield is it? And everyone kind of agreed on Springfield, Illinois, given the size of the town and the climate and everything.
Starting point is 01:07:18 But it was actually originally based on Springfield, Oregon, which is where he's from. What about Moe and Barney when they get their names from? No word on Mo or Barney where they got the names from. So today's fact of the day and the theme this week will be the Simpsons. Today's fact of the day is so many names and
Starting point is 01:07:36 places for the Simpsons was pulled directly from Matt Groening, The Creator's Life. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. I don't know where you are right now, but I just looked out the window.
Starting point is 01:08:01 It's raining. It's Monday. It's hard to get started. You know, we're heading towards the end of summer. Maybe it's not, you know, might not be in the best mood. And I think we will need to get a little bit of hype going here because last week,
Starting point is 01:08:15 you may have seen if you follow me on the social medias, I posted a video of me leg pressing 140 kgs. And I just thought it was pretty good you know I'm going even bigger this week I'm excited and so I posted a video of it and someone messaged me
Starting point is 01:08:32 a lot of people were like wow Quads McGee over here check out the thighs on this one a lot of people hyped me up but there was one message that someone said brag eye roll and I was like yeah man that is 100% to its core
Starting point is 01:08:48 what I am doing right now I'm having a brag and we don't get to brag a lot as Kiwis It's not in our makeup is it? It's not in our nature We like to tear people down that are leg pressing way too much in us Exactly or you'll blow out and you're like no so this is
Starting point is 01:09:04 what I want to do this morning is what do you want to brag about? You call up you can tell us you'll be out. And you're like, no. So this is what I want to do this morning is, what do you want to brag about? You call up. You can tell us. You'll be like, I cooked a mean leg of lamb. And then we will hype you up. And then I'm going to ask you about it. And if you describe a well-done leg of lamb,
Starting point is 01:09:15 we'll hang up on you immediately. If it had anything dry about it, you shall be evicted from the show. Like a humble brag. No, it doesn't have to be humble, man. If you did something really well, if you want to brag about something that you've done really well or you like about yourself or that you've achieved over the last few weeks or something like that,
Starting point is 01:09:31 you call us up. What about, could we pre-hype if someone's got something happening today or soon? Yeah, maybe. And they need a little bit of a jazz up. Yeah, we just want to be your hype man. Yeah. Because I think we don't do this often enough in New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:09:45 We're so quick to be like, oh my God, like be humble. Yeah, but also people aren't going to call up and brag because we're not like that. Well, no, but I'm trying to change. What I'm doing here is it's cultural shift. It's a cultural shift. It's a cultural moment. I'm trying to change the culture.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Okay, yeah. That's what I'm doing here. I'm actually being incredibly powerful and influential and using my voice for good. What you're witnessing is history. A cultural shift. Okay. This is a moment of change in New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:10:07 All we do is we stay humble in ourselves or when someone brags, we have an inclination as a country to want to like knock them down a peg. So this will be a zone free of knocking down a peg. No knocking down. Even nothing. It's going to be hard, isn't it? As big or as small. Maybe it was a huge achievement,
Starting point is 01:10:27 something you're, you know, absolutely that deserves an immense amount of praise. Get the ball rolling. Texts are coming through. Show you the ball rolling. Yes. I did a 25 kilometre bike ride on Saturday. Yes, you did.
Starting point is 01:10:36 You did. That ain't small. You did. Do you know what I did on Saturday? Nothing. You know, I didn't do that. Great brag, great brag. I walked to the shop for a coffee.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Okay, 0800-966-9666 to text through. If you've got something that you want to brag about, you call up or you text us and we will hype you up. I had a brag online last week about a little gym achievement and I got lots of good positive messages, but I got one that was like, brag, I roll. And I was like, what a Kiwi boring attitude. So we want you to brag about anything,
Starting point is 01:11:08 big or small. And we promise we're not going to mow you down. We're not going to be like, next time that good. Until next time. Until next time. Until we have an attitude shift. Attitude shift.
Starting point is 01:11:18 I've got terrible irregular bowel movements. I did a poo three days in a row last week. Amazing. Have they tried yogurt? A lot of yogurt every day. We're really talking three days in a row last week. Amazing. Have they tried yoghurt? A lot of yoghurt every day. We're really talking about yoghurt on the show this morning. We need to focus on gut health. Yeah. Get some right out of there.

It was me I eh? That was your IBS, so it wasn't. It was me Ibs. It was the Ibs. Some other people were saying, I'm
Starting point is 01:11:50 21 days of no vaping and it's the best choice I've ever made. Yes! Oh my god. Good brag, good brag. I can imagine that's very difficult. Well done you.

Starting point is 01:12:06 favourite flowers. I love a Dahlia Dahlia. Oh my gosh. Candice, what's your brag? Well, so I just ran into New World on Friday quickly to pick up some milk, some wine and just ran in with my
Starting point is 01:12:21 card because the children and husband are sitting in the car. Yep. Oh, you've got to crack a children and husband are sitting in the car. Oh, you've got to crack a window off the husbands in the car. Especially husbands, yeah. Or leave a sign on saying he's fine, there's air conditioning, please don't call the police. It was a hot day. They were fine, they were fine.
Starting point is 01:12:39 All right, so we've run in. Yeah, got to the self-checkout, put everything through and the lady came over to check my ID, but I didn't have it with me, and I got denied. Oh! You're looking young. Candice, how old are you? I turned 40 last summer.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Yay! Good, that's a good brag. That is a good brag. That feels good, doesn't it, Candice? I love that. It felt great. I was like, look, I'm 40. I promise.

Starting point is 01:13:21 So at 23 years old, I started my own registered charity here in New Zealand. Amazing. What's it for? It's called Little Lab and it provides 100% free science education to rural primary schools. Oh, amazing. Amazing, Laura.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Not an easy thing to do. I was worried she was going to say, I've got a registered charity called Man Up. We're a branch of the Destiny Church. We go into libraries and yeah. Laura, that's no small feat, is it? No, yep, no. I've done it since
Starting point is 01:13:51 roughly 2019, but it only became a registered charity last year. Wow. Wow. Good stuff. Great brag. Someone said, bragging for my dad, he did the Tata Weta ultramarathon on Saturday.
Starting point is 01:14:05 My dad's a beast. Wasn't that like 160 kgs or something? I saw a story. 160 kgs? Kilometers. I was going to say, if he's 160 kgs and he managed to get on a bike and a swim and a run, I don't know why I took my hat off to him. I think it's like an insane feat.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's insane. Okay, keep your brags coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. Georgia, we're hyping people up. Letting them have a brag. Love this. No tearing down.
Starting point is 01:14:30 If you tear down, you'll be shooted out of the studio. So many people. I just read one before. My partner and I suffer with severe infertility issues. We've just found out we're five weeks pregnant. Good brag, good brag. Good brag. I recently passed my volunteer station officer's course
Starting point is 01:14:45 for fire and emergency after a lot of hard work and training over the past 12 months. Oh, my gosh, that was another person. Incredible. Do they get a beeper? Do they get a pager? That'd be cool. A pager?
Starting point is 01:14:56 I think you'd just take a phone, wouldn't you? No, you want a pager. You've got to get a pager. I want a pager. And you look. Yeah, they're the only people that use pagers anymore. But that was because pagers had better reception. But I'm sure now I wouldn't be, surely.
Starting point is 01:15:09 I'd still want a pager. No, I'm demanding a pager. You'd still want to be demanding a pager. Oh, my God, someone today. I'm quitting my stupid job today. Oh, that's going to be so fun. Please tell me you have another job to go to because people that quit their jobs.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Don't be so practical. And then just wing it. It gives me so much anxiety. Wild that they're quitting their jobs and then after the show we're having a meeting about getting rid of Hayley. What? You didn't hear that. I thought we weren't bringing people down. What happened to that? Thank you, Georgia.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Huh? It's called jokes! I got you, Hayley. Thank you, girl. Did someone put in an offer on a house on Saturday? I mean, that's a huge achievement. That's exciting. Buyer's market or something. I got up and went to work today.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Do you know what? Hype, hype, hype, hype, hype. It's hard on a Monday. You didn't have to. I walked six kilometres every day this week, just gone. 6K a day. A lot of steps. A lot of steps. A lot of steps.
Starting point is 01:16:06 20 KGs lost as of this morning started in August. Wow. 20 KGs. That's got to feel good. Good for you. Good, good, good, good. It's nearly an entire limit of a suitcase. 23 KGs.
Starting point is 01:16:18 That's a suitcase. That's a hell of a way to think about it, actually. Yeah. Including suitcase. Yeah, so technically when you fly next next you should get a free suitcase. You know what this person should do this 20kg lost person
Starting point is 01:16:28 they should put 20kgs worth of stuff in a bag and pick it up. That's how they love that's how much they've lost. It would make you feel like wow.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Or go on a international flight and when they get there and their luggage isn't there they've lost another 20kgs. Oh my god amazing this thing lighter and lighter and lighter.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Not to brag but yesterday I completed my first two births as a recently qualified and registered midwife. Oh, wow. That's good. That's good. We want you to brag. This is what we want. We want it.
Starting point is 01:16:56 My New Year's resolution was no drive-through food and I'm smashing it. It was a terrible habit last year. So bad. You don't even have to get out of the car. That's what I love. Yeah. But good for you. I'm finally able to get out of the car. That's what I love. Yeah. But good for you.
Starting point is 01:17:06 I'm finally able to go for my level four health and wellbeing certificate. I do complex cares and palliative care. Oh, God, yeah. Oh, yeah. Brag, brag, brag. I love this. Do you know what I love about this? People are also texting and just being like, loving the brags.
Starting point is 01:17:19 Like, we're just loving it. We're just loving hearing people being proud of themselves. As well you should be. I mean, it's fine in a radio segment, but you don't want to hear someone at work going, no, no, no, no. My green allocation. I do.
Starting point is 01:17:29 My green allocation. That is not the attitude. It's a cultural shift. Sorry, it's a cultural shift. This is a moment in New Zealand history. We're doing a cultural shift. We're bragging. My green allocation poly just sprouted a pink,
Starting point is 01:17:39 variegated baby. Oh! If you know. If you know, you know. You know. Well, thank you for all of your brags. Do you know what your bird is in? What if you don't know?
Starting point is 01:17:48 Don't know what? Oh, look, one more. I left school early to get into the trades. We've been talking about this. More trades do that. I left school early to get into the trades. After four years, my mates are buried in debt, uni debt, but now I've got a six-figure job as a female heavy diesel mechanic,
Starting point is 01:18:03 debt-free at 24. Hot. Right. But it feels like they pushed their mates Debt free at 24. Hot. Right. But it feels like they pushed their mates down to beat themselves up. That would be my only critique of that brag. If that's what helps get you ahead. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't believe we blow out other candles to make ours glow brighter.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Georgia Burt's up next. Hens do at the weekend. Do you need to apologise to anybody in Canterbury after the shenanigans? I actually don't. I thought I was going to come with an apology to say, but I don't think I have to. Maybe. You actually had more sleep than Hayley and she wasn't on a hen's do. I was just out having a very casual evening.
Starting point is 01:18:34 I did. Some dude did have to give me his undies, but they were Calvin's, so I gave them back. Oh, they're expensive. Because you can't be taking someone's Calvin Klein's away from them. So you were doing like a scavenger hunt or something? Yeah, but not as cheesy as a scavenger hunt, you know? He'd warn these Calvins. Yeah, but because they were Calvins, I was kind of okay with it.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Crotchy. Do you know what I mean? Crotchy. Yeah. He did have a Harley Davidson though, Hayley. Oh, I can't back. And I'm back. I can't get her back.
Starting point is 01:19:00 Is that the podcast done? Because I'm busting for a poos. Busting for a poos. Busting for a poos. Jesus. Give us a review.
