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.

This is Flesh, Fawn and Hayley's Big Pod.

Thanks Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show.
Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
He's a good boy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
On the motorway.
Yeah, no.
Dodge him.
Okay.
When we'll get tumble butt.
Anyway.
We do not condone crime.
No.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Yes.
It was a Fazioli 7277F something.
I'm exclusively Steinway.
Valued at $270,000 US dollars.
A piano.
A piano.
A piano.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
Yep.
I wasn't.
I am.
Yeah,
I got home at seven.
Anyway.
I am.
Hayley,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
Well, we love the White Lotus

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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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?
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,
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
Great. Three
poops. That's good for a tummy ish.
When were we first met you guys
and I just never pooped? Yeah. I fixed it.
That was wild, eh?
That was your IBS. 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
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. I won, this
is my favourite. I won five trophies
on the weekend in the novice section of the New Zealand
South Island Dahlia Nationals.
Oh! Dahlia is one of my
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
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.
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.
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.
I'll tell you my birthday.
No, she wouldn't tell it to me.
Yeah, wow.
Okay, Candice, great brag.
Laura, what's your brag?
Hi there.
Well, I'm pretty proud of myself.
Last year, I started my own charity.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
