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,

Starting point is 00:01:07 What, do you just constantly looking for little knickknacks for your... You just don't know what treats are about. You know, people walk in and they're like, how did you get this? You've got to go looking. You've got to constantly be on. Yeah, but that's not... Hunting for treasure. Yeah, but that means you're constantly spending money.
Starting point is 00:01:21 I thought we were... No, not always. Sometimes... I thought we were... Don't... You're not part of my financial plan. I thought we were having a budget. I thought we were budgeting always. Sometimes I thought we were. You're not part of my financial plan. I thought we were having a budget. Well, I thought we were winning lotto on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:01:30 But it didn't happen. Yeah. So leave me be. Fletchmas is back this morning around 7.30 this morning. So if you'd like to be on my naughty or nice list, we'll call back somebody from each of the lists around 7.30 this morning, and then I will decide who wins our amazing prizes today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:52 So go to ZM Online, register, and we could be calling you back. It's a very naughty people. Yeah, my dear goodies to give away. 7.30 this morning and $250 cash, which would be great just before Christmas. Yes. The top six is coming up. The government, since taking seizing power last year, have acquired eight speeding tickets.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Ooh. And government cards. Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum. I saw a speed camera van the other day, and the guy was in the back of it setting it up. And I was on my bicycle. Yeah, and I was like, hey. Remember when they first came out, they had to sit in them all day.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Did they? That'd be such a cool job. No, it just meant I'd just be on my phone. Yeah, you'd just be scrolling TikTok and Instagram all day. In the days, this was before phones and speed cameras first came out. Oh, because they actually used film. Yeah. And the film ran out, they had to change it.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Reading a book. I guess you'd read a book. Yeah. Reading a book. Mate. Play with yourself. They were heavily tinted. No one would be able to see if you're playing with yourself. Yeah, that's true. And now it's digital so they can just take literally a thousand in an hour. They'll get you all. They'll get you all. Yeah. So the guy was just setting it up and leaving it behind was he? Yeah, but I was just like, oh, because I've always wanted to see what they look like inside. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:03:06 And whose vans are they? Do they just go up to sort of tradies and be like, oi? No, they've got new ones. Oh, yeah. This was a pretty new one. Because you could always tell what kind they were, but now they've changed them up. Well, you've just got to look for the tinting on the back window having a square missing. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:20 That was always the clue. And a camera in the back. You can't see it. Often you were close enough, by the time you were close enough to see that, that already got you. Too late. Yeah, because you were going 140 in that van.
Starting point is 00:03:31 It really moves up on you. Pass the school. It's been quite a while, I think, since you've driven, hasn't it? 140. Just a casual 140. Well, I've got the top six reasons members of the government got their speeding tickets. Coming up in the top six next, though.
Starting point is 00:03:45 A new little snack for the boys is available, and it'll be quite helpful in the bedroom. Okay. I'll tell you all about that next. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. 50% of men over the age of 40, so one of you two, suffers from erectile dysfunction by the time you hit 40. Really? Have a tough time getting it up. That is not a problem.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Over here. Great. Ready to go. So it's me. Great. I mean, it's probably one of the most common things you hear about, right? Erectile dysfunction in men.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Yeah. And they pop the famous little blue pill. Previously, what they call it a Pfizer spinoff, Viatris, Viatris who owns Viagra name and brand because Viagra is just the brand of the form of medication. So they have applied for a trademark in the UK for a new form of Viagra because when you think of Viagra,
Starting point is 00:04:40 you think of little blue pill. Yeah. And it's become so recognisable that people were starting to feel shame about it because there's shame. They're like, you know, I need assistance in this area. So they've applied for a trademark for a new form of it, which is a thin, discreet wafer.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Like a biscuit. Like a... Let you put cheese on the top. Well, can we... And maybe a bit of... Can we talk to Producer Shannon? Because, Producer Shannon, you say one of your medications is wafer form.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yes, migraine medication. So, like, what? Because when I think wafer, I think of those, like, water-thin crackers. Yeah, a smaller version of that, essentially, and then you just chuck it on your tongue. The migraine one's horrible tasting. And it dissolves.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yeah, you kind of just munch on it. Is that for people that can't swallow pills? I don't know the theory behind it. I guess it gets into your saliva quicker. Maybe it works quicker. But it tastes feral. Anyone who's had it will know. And immediately it starts working.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So it must be something in the dissolving in your mouth. And those anti-nauseas we all like. Those are dissolving ones. Yeah, we do love the anti-nauseas for a hungover. So they say that some people who can't tolerate tablets, because apparently the Viagra pill is quite large. Right. You know, some people have struggles with swallowing pills.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So you could slip this in your pocket. Yeah. But I would be like, I wouldn't, I'd never judge anyone if they took a little pill before we had a little. But I would be like, what are you eating? Can never judge anyone if they took a little pill before we had a little. But I would be like, what are you eating? Can I have one? Do you want some cheese? Share alike.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Do you just take some time out in the bedroom and you just like one moment and you pop a, like if somebody popped a biscuit in, you'd be like, what are you doing? Yeah, what is that? What are we having? Like a halftime snack here? Yeah. I also want to know how big it is. Because those little dissolvable, little nausea ones, they're little, real little. Or is this, I don't know why,
Starting point is 00:06:35 imagining it's sort of like born like a Catholic. Yeah, yeah, communion wafer. That's what I was thinking. I want all of my, like, I want Panadols to be like this. Yeah. Because sometimes if you've got a bit of a hangover, you'd take a couple of pennies. You're dry dogging.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah. And they go down your throat. Like the long ones. Yeah. Why are you dry dogging a penny? Don't dry dog a penny. No, I'm not. You can only dry dog the candy-coated Neurofence.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yum. I'll dry dog those guys. But it's always a lot of water. People that swallow pills without water, like multivitamins, I'm just like, what are you doing? I can swallow pills quite well, and I don't need much water, but yeah, you can't raw dog it. Well, this could be coming.
Starting point is 00:07:14 They've applied for this trademark, so this could be the new way of taking Viagra. We're living in the future. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. A New Zealand man in Australia who's moved there has been brought to tears by the cost of food in supermarkets. But more like tears of joy that now he's not paying as much as he was back here in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Yeah. So he's gone viral because of this. Yeah. There's no surprise, is it? Yeah. Although I thought they had expensive Tim Tams. Yep. I thought our Tim Tams were better.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Stop putting an S on Tim Tams. Tim Tams. Tim Tam is the plural of Tim Tam. But there's like 10 in a pack. Tim Tams. Well, there's 10 sheep in a herd. Yeah. Sheepses.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Sheepses. Sheepses. Yeah. I saw this video as well. The guy's, because he's got a family and he would basically, you do forget because you become used to it, almost blind to it. Sometimes you see something, you're like, God, is that what you're paying?
Starting point is 00:08:14 What we spoke about there was at the journo that was in Queenstown and- Found the $38, no, $28 burrito. No, it was $36. $36 or $37, yeah. And then he was also like, oh, look at these mangoes on specials, $6. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they probably pay like three. We don't grow mangoes.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yeah, I mean, we have to. We don't call it our mangoes. Exactly. They've got to have a big journey down south, don't they, to get here to us. That's the problem. Supermarket staples in New Zealand are more expensive than the UK, Ireland and Australia. This guy specifically cited the weekly supermarket shop with eggs and the cost of chicken, being significantly cheaper.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Yeah. And then the article goes on to say how many people are moving from New Zealand to Australia. What about their handbag chucks? They're still quite affordable. Because Aaron's always like, you bought another one. There's already one in the fridge dying. Do you put your chickens into the bachelor handbag alive?
Starting point is 00:09:14 Wait for it to die and sort of marinate itself. I like them fresh. Yeah, I can. Don't blame you. But I do like. It's the feathers that get me. Yes. Eating a wrap and you're like.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Especially the root of the feather, you know, the real follicle. Yeah, it's hard. No, but I'll always buy the handbag chook because it's so easy and then I'll make a wrap or two and then maybe something else. But I'll never pick... I never pick the... This is a position of privilege, I understand, but I never pick it down to the bone.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Oh, I bloody love getting my teeth into a bachelor's handbag. Yeah. Love getting all the bits and pieces out. And then it sort of goes tough in the fridge so, you know, I sort of abandon it there for a bit. Yeah. They should make a rabbit bachelor's handbag. Ooh. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:09:58 So you open it up and it's a cooked rabbit. I think that's the kind of meat that you can have like that. Why not? I think it would be. The bachelor's handbag's always like, it's got its juices in there. It's not going to dry up because the moisture can't escape. That's why they don't dry out, right? It's because the moisture's recirculating.
Starting point is 00:10:14 What do you mean they don't dry out? They're famously dry. Oh, yeah, you have to have been there all day. How much do you pay? Because I've got $12 here from an article last year. That's cheap. And that had gone up a dollar. Yeah, I know. They're $12. Where are you going for
Starting point is 00:10:28 it? No, aren't they like $16? Yeah, I thought they were $16. And if you want to buy one of those posh ones where the chickens actually send sunlight and grass. No, they're like $12 to $14. Right. And if you break that down into
Starting point is 00:10:43 four meals, there's $3.50 a meal. I'm not mad about it. Aaron's going on about the bloody carcass in the fridge. So there's four of them on one shelf. Yeah, that's probably a... I have to turn on the oven all week. Because you can't put them in the rubbish too far away from rubbish day
Starting point is 00:11:00 because they'll really stink. Do you know, talking about this, it's Wednesday. I did put half a carcass in our kitchen rubbish bin on Sunday. You're a wild woman. And that's going to, when's that migrating to the outside bin? Well, just, it's reminding, no, it'll be today. So that's four days.
Starting point is 00:11:17 That's going to have a little stink. That's manky. That is manky. The bin might need a, after you've taken the bag out of the bin, it might need a rinse in the laundry. Nah, shove a fresh liner in there. You're right. Play.
Starting point is 00:11:29 ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. Wait a minute, I'm just sending a funny meme to my friends. Are we the friends? Nope, but I can send it to you too, but this is, wow.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Wow. Wow, we are right here. Do you know what? Today, when I'm on Instagram, if I find a funny reel, I'm only going to send it to Fletch. Okay, I'll send it to you now then. No, I'm not your second thought, I'm not your second hand. But you'll see why. It's a lads meme. It's a lads meme. So we're not the lads.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It's a lads meme. Well, the government have been ticking up speeding tickets. Yeah, they sure have. I would have thought that. Eight speeding tickets. And this is only in their official government cars. Oh, because I always wondered if you're a paramedic or the fire or police, do they just write those off if either one comes through?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. That doesn't matter, eh? No. You run a red, it's like, whoopsie. You don't ticket an ambulance. Yeah. If we're trying to save lives. Oh, whoopsie doopsie. Yeah, no,'t matter, eh? No. You run a red, it's like, whoopsie. You don't ticket an ambulance. Yeah. For trying to save lives.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Oh, whoopsie doopsie. Yeah, no, no, no. Yeah. That's why I have got those stickers for my car. It makes it look like an ambulance. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. The first one there.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah, the first chimney black ambulance. It's a child-specific ambulance because adults couldn't fit laying down in the back of the chimney. Top six reasons the government got their speeding tickets. Six on the list. It was 5pm and Simeon Brown was starting to fall asleep in the back of the car.
Starting point is 00:12:53 And his mum and dad were like, oh, you know what kids are like if they fall asleep now, they'll never sleep tonight. So they were racing to get him home so that they could get him out of the car, get him fed, get him bathed, get him into bed, tuck him in. Yeah. Tuck the little fella in. That 5pm nap, man. It'll kill
Starting point is 00:13:09 you. Tough day. Number 5 on the list of the top 6 reasons the government got their speeding tickets. Winston had Tuesday night bingo and meat raffle at the Raza and he was running late. Yeah, he's like, step on it, driver. Yeah, that meat packs mine. Yeah, and if I'm not there early to pick out, you know, to handpick my bingo cards, I'm never going to win bingo.
Starting point is 00:13:28 He strikes me as someone that would love a meat raffle. Huge meat raffle guy. Oh, God, yeah. He's livid that... Sausages. He's livid that ciggies can't be in raffles anyway. Yeah, God, it's the woke left, isn't it? Livid.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Number four on the list of the top six reasons the government got their speeding tickets, Judith Collins was taking some confiscated boy racer cars for a drift down at the warehouse car park. Oh, okay. She's crazy, isn't she? She's crazy. That's the only reason she confiscated the boy racer car. So she really
Starting point is 00:13:57 wants one. So she can let loose in a car park at 10 o'clock at night. Number three on the list, kind of a bit of truth to this one, Erica Stanford said that it was her husband that got two tickets in her car. Really? Yeah. Now, she's the Minister of Education. I reckon her husband needs some basic maths lessons.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah. Like 110 is faster than 100. Yeah. By 10. Also, is he allowed to drive her government-issued car? I don't know. It feels like a big fat no-no. It feels like a big fat no-no. It feels like a big fat no-no.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I suppose you're allowed. It's a pinch. Number two on the list of the top six reasons the government got their speeding tickets, Dr. Shanreti got one. But to be fair, he's a doctor and his car's an ambulance. Is it? I don't know. Is it?
Starting point is 00:14:40 Is it? I don't think it is. Guess we'll never know. Imagine if you were the Minister of Health and you got an ambulance for free. Yeah. That'd be pretty sick. Yeah. Mind you, it would also, at this time,
Starting point is 00:14:50 where they are cutting costs every which way. It'd be a bit wasteful. It'd be wasteful. Yeah, I see that now. Unless he was on call all the time. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six reasons the government got their speeding tickets,
Starting point is 00:15:02 what Christopher Luxon will say about his tickets is this, Jack. He will say what he says when he says it. That's the thing about speeding tickets, and what I will say about speeding tickets is what I will say when I say it. And what's he going to say about that?
Starting point is 00:15:17 He's going to say what he will say. What he will say about that is that they are a ticket. Yes. By all categorizations of a ticket, they tick the boxes of a ticket. How do you explain receiving one of those? Well, someone speeds. And what I will say about speeding is that people do it.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But the ticket issued is a result of, and undeniably, Jack, speeding. And that's what I will say about that. I guess we can move on to the next question. Yeah, well said, actually. Because you've answered that. Oh, you've answered that for sure. Quite succinctly. Quite succinctly.
Starting point is 00:15:54 That is today's top six. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Tony's chocolate. Now, you may have seen these in the supermarket. I've never ever had a block. Neither have I. I know that they're like, they're not, they're all like weird squares.
Starting point is 00:16:11 They're not squares. Didn't they send some? I think we got sent some to work. I've never tried it though. That's pretty on you. You're probably like, no, thank you. My God, how? Well, you know I'm, if I do chocolate, I'm Whittaker's through and through.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Yeah, me too. I love the branding of this. People would go overseas and come back and be like, it's the best chocolate in the world. It's really colourful and Yeah, it's like the paper wrappers. You've had, it's like, their whole thing's ethical, eh? Yeah, they're really keen on stopping
Starting point is 00:16:38 slavery in terms of making cocoa and making chocolate because the industry itself, like overseas, isn't always the best. Yeah, they've got a foundation, the Chocolonely Foundation. I saw I was at John Oliver on last week tonight, did an amazing like, you just have no idea how
Starting point is 00:16:53 they get the beans. Yeah. They never taste their own chocolate. Some guy took the chocolate back to them and said, do you ever taste what this makes? And they're like, no. Taste this. And they're just like, yum! And now they're hooked on sugar like all of us. Yep. But anyway.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Riddled with the diabetes. That chocolate brand in the UK, I'm unsure if they've been on sale here, but they have the advent calendars. Oh, okay. Well, people are upset because they've left a day blank and they didn't put a chocolate in the advent calendar on the specific day and they did it on purpose.
Starting point is 00:17:28 It wasn't like a factory thing where they missed the day. They left it blank on purpose. Yeah, it's a commentary on not everyone gets everything they want. Yes, to raise awareness of inequality in the chocolate industry.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I think I... I never want to shoot down a company for trying to do a good thing. And they've got positive impact. I think this is the most, like, flag wave, just sort of, like, showy... Like kids were crying because they opened the door
Starting point is 00:18:00 and they're like, Meh, meh. Ah, kids will cry about anything, mate. Meh, meh, meh. They're always crying. Chocolate. Yeah. Yeah, kids will cry about anything, mate. They're always crying. Yeah, so one of them's blank because some people
Starting point is 00:18:11 go without chocolate and today you will. Yeah, but some people were like we paid like 15 pounds, like 30 New Zealand dollars for this advent calendar and one was missing. Tony's chocolate only advent calendar, $48. In New Zealand?
Starting point is 00:18:29 In New Zealand. Oh, wow. Okay. Sold out kind of everywhere. You know what? Now that's sold out. Because there's 24 days in an advent calendar. So in my mind, $48 too, that's $2 per chocolate.
Starting point is 00:18:39 But it's not. It's quite expensive. Yeah, you could be buying a whole block. And then one day he's going to whack that out because there's only 23 chocolates in it, so it's not going to be a nice round number anymore. And my numbers brain does not like that at all. So we'll go without, thanks.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I will say on urbanlist.com, New Zealand website, it is on the top adult advent calendars in New Zealand, so you can count down to Christmas. But one, we've only got like seven flaps left to open. So don't buy one now until it's basically sold out. No, but they're flaps. That's what it is all about
Starting point is 00:19:10 is open up the flaps. Seeing what's inside. I wonder what... What was on this one? Advent calendars must be heavily discounted now. But still, just not a great way
Starting point is 00:19:19 to eat 24 chocolates. Just get a bar. Get a big block of chocolate. Get two blocks of chocolate. Yeah, but that's not festive though, is it? No, I know that. You've left it too late to be festive now anyway. You might as well get bang for your buck.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Was there anything else on the adult advent calendar? Like there's always a gin or a whiskey. I saw a whiskey one. There's a lusted one. Oh, that would smell. Where each one's like little bath bombs. Little cutie things. See, that would be you.
Starting point is 00:19:43 You could do that. Nah. You love your bath bombs. Yeah, I know, but like once a year I don't need 24. And the smell, can you imagine
Starting point is 00:19:49 the mix of smells? Nespresso did one. Glasshouse does like, oof, the fragrance, the candle plays. Did you say you built a glasshouse?
Starting point is 00:19:59 No, yeah, yeah. Day one, you've got the door. Huge advent calendar. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Okay, so this is sort of doing the rounds on TikTok because people are filled with fear that this may happen to them now. They just want to go to the gym, get fit,
Starting point is 00:20:17 get the badonk donk poppin' or whatever. However, there is a guy who shared on TikTok that he went to the doctor complaining of a case of pink eye. Okay. He's got Conjunctivitis.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Inflammation, conjunctivitis in the eye and it's irritated. So he goes to the doctor, they run a test and they, the cause of the
Starting point is 00:20:38 eye infection is chlamydia. Oh, okay. sexually transmitted infection. Is that like a symptom? Or you can get it in the eye? If it's, if, is chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted infection. Is that like a symptom? Or you can get it in the eye?
Starting point is 00:20:49 If it's... Right. If somehow things make their way to the eye, that could be... Yeah, if you would get it... Well, you let it itch your eye afterwards. If you touch it, you're transferring. Okay. And then he goes, not possible.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I haven't been sexually active for a very long time. Like, this wouldn't have come up. And then the doctor said, well, this is definitely chlamydia. This is how it's happened. So obviously like you've touched your genitals and then you've touched your eye. And he has denied this.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And then another doctor came in and was like, you've probably, do you work out? And he was like, yeah. He said you would have contracted it from the gym. What? And then another doctor came in and was like, you've probably, do you work out? And he was like, yeah. He said you would have contracted it from the gym. What? And then he thinks, well, they theorised that someone who has chlamydia in the genital region has sat upon a piece of gym equipment
Starting point is 00:21:38 upon which this gentleman with the pink eye has placed his sweat towel and then he has wiped his eye. I always think about that. Yeah, think about like what where you put the towel and stuff. But I always wipe the machines and stuff before I use them and after I use them. Heavy wipe. I do a wipe after. I do a wipe after.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I go through so many wet wipes. Yeah. At the gym. I grab a big length of them. I go, reee! Wow, he's chlamydia free though, as far as we know. Clap free, baby. So I always thought that this, like, oh, I must have got it from sitting on a toilet seat. Or I must have da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:22:15 This is like the famous, that, oh, I got it from the toilet seat. I didn't cheat on you. Excuse me, husband, why do I have chlamydia? Is this even possible? Yeah, so one doctor was like, it is possible that it can be transferred like this. But heavily unlikely. How does it go from wherever you're infected to the seat of the press machine or the, I don't know, the lat pull down thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Because there was another doctor that was like, no, you can't. It wouldn't survive. Like it can't come off the body. And then one doctor was trying to blame women in the gym that go commando. Is this you? No, no, no. I always wear a little
Starting point is 00:22:56 G-banger. Right. Yuck. I know. So women who are just wearing their little booty shorts, there's not much there. And if they've got this infection, that it may sneak around. And they wouldn't know. They wouldn't even know.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Sweat onto the seat, and then if someone was to rub against it with their junk or their eye or their towel, that in theory it could work. Or imagine you adjust the seat and pull it up, and then you just itch your eye. Yeah. But it would have to be quite quick. Like it wouldn't be that someone's used it...
Starting point is 00:23:27 An hour ago. An hour ago and then you have put your face against it. Call me old fashioned, but if I get an STI, I like to do the fun part of getting an STI. Yeah, you know what I mean? If you're going to get it. This guy's like, I haven't been sexually active forever. I'm going to the gym to try to remedy that.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I missed out on the fun bit. Yeah, exactly. Like I'm telling you, I have not been sexually active for a long, long time. How is this possible? Anyway, look, I don't wipe before I go in the gym. I'm going to wipe now. I'm going to wipe now. Give it a little wipe.
Starting point is 00:23:56 But then, I mean, how long have we been going to the gym and this has never happened? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I do have it. Maybe I'll go get a test today just to make sure. No, I double layer with my bottom half. I'm not going commando. It all moves around in there.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah. No. You go commando at the gym. This is people like you. Yeah, but my shorts have a lining, so it's like there's two things. No, he's got the cheesecloth in there. Yeah. Finish. Keeping him all tight. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. a lining so it's like there's two he's got the cheesecloth in there yeah finish
Starting point is 00:24:25 keeping him all tight play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley Fletchbourne and Hayley silly little pole silly little pole
Starting point is 00:24:37 it is so silly silly silly that the silly little pole silly little pole silly little pole silly little, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little pole, basically the minimum time you would be dating someone before you'd buy them a present. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Like what, you just start kind of going official maybe just end of November? It's like, damn it. Yeah, it's a bit confusing. I guess if you damn it. Now you've got to meet someone. I guess if you're seeing someone, you have to get them at least a little something, right? Yeah, I think so. Even if it's been a few weeks. Yeah, I'd say maybe like a month.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yeah. Maybe a month, you've got to get them a little thing. Six months, we're doing too much. We go too hard for a couple of years. Yep. And then we pull right back. And then 20 years, nothing! You get nothing!
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah, just be happy we're paying the mortgage. This is what we say when we say, are we doing Christmas presents? Look around. Yeah. Look around. This is a Christmas present. This is a, I'm a Christmas present.
Starting point is 00:25:35 How, funny, how? That you got your car serviced. Merry Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we made love two weeks ago. Merry Christmas. What more do you want? Merry Christmas. 12 days of Christmas love two weeks ago. Merry Christmas. What more do you want? Merry Christmas.
Starting point is 00:25:45 12 days of Christmas. That's your birthday and Christmas. Yeah. That's the drummer boy's drumming. Well, we gave the options under one month, two to six months, six to 12 or over a year. The least popular was that 2% of people would wait for over a year before they bought them a gift. What? That's wild.
Starting point is 00:26:04 It's quite long. Then 12% of people would wait for over a year before they bought them a gift. What? That's wild. It's quite long. Then 12% of people would wait six to 12 months. Yep. So, you know, if you've just started seeing them, it's not happening. 65% of people, it was the largest one, said two to six months. And under a month was 21%. So people, more people are more likely to quickly jump in. Well, you're in that honeymoon period.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Of course, you're trying to win them over. You are. You're in that last stage of obsession. You're more likely to give them a gift than you are after six to 12 months. And I guess it also depends on their love language, too. Yeah, totally. Because if they're like a gifts person and you don't get them something. Yeah, they'll be like, I feel really under them.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Yeah. So. Oh, man, I'm something. Yeah. I feel really undervalued. So. Man, I'm bored. We'll hear some feedback from some people. Stephanie said, I would get a gift regardless of how long I've been sending them. But the quality of gift would depend on how long I've been sending them. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Get them a little.
Starting point is 00:27:03 What are you getting someone if you've just started a little spring hanky-panky before the summer? Like just. Something probably cutesy or silly. Yeah. Like a little silly gif. Something you've picked up from what they've said they liked so far. Something that might make them chuckle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Mason, six months at least, but then it won't be anything expensive. The year mark, she may or may not get a nice Christmas card. Card? A lovely card. He's an old school romantic. Chris said, under a month shows you care, but you should talk about a limit. Establish a financial limit. No, under a month you're spending less than $50, 100%.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Maybe a nice t-shirt. A well-fitting tee. So they've got something nice to wear to Christmas Day. Yeah, something nice to wear. Go and put that on and give us a spin. Dana said, I chose two to six months. Any earlier than that, I would probably do a cute Christmas picnic or something that
Starting point is 00:27:51 acknowledges they're special to me during the holiday season but not a huge commitment to a present. That's cute. I love presents. That's all Amber said. Her love language is presents. That's trash. That's the trashiest one. It is the trashiest one Gift giving is my love language
Starting point is 00:28:07 Says Geordie Gift giving Or just gifts Oh that's expensive Full stop To have that one There is giving and receiving Love languages isn't there
Starting point is 00:28:15 Yeah Sometimes people like to buy gifts But not necessarily receive them Receiving gifts is the funniest love language Yes It's the worst You're the worst You're the worst
Starting point is 00:28:23 You're trash Even if it's just a trinket that made me think of you, says Geordie. Oh, you said trinkets. Yeah, I love a trinket. I love a trinket. As soon as you're official,
Starting point is 00:28:32 you should give a gift. But it's very new. It should be something small, said Kat. You don't want to stretch yourself. Yeah. And you're raising the bar and expectations
Starting point is 00:28:39 for every other Christmas. Yeah, what are you going to do? Just more, more, more, more, more, more. Hannah said, my dad bought his girlfriend of three weeks return flights to Wellington, tickets to a musical theatre show
Starting point is 00:28:50 and bought her daughter a Mecca voucher. They broke up Christmas Eve. Guess who got to go to Wellington instead? Didn't get the Mecca voucher back though. Oh. Dad fell hard. Oh, Dad.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Dad fell hard. I'd love to know what musical you saw. Ali said, I was literally wondering this today. And there's my answer. Thanks for solving this problem. So she's absolutely welcome. You are welcome. She's fresh on the boil.
Starting point is 00:29:11 We do more than provide laughter. Yeah. We provide statistics. Statistics. Yeah. Knowledge, facts, everything. Fiona said, let's lame and shame the people who are waiting over a year, those miserable grinches.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Like, really, you can't just do something a little cute, little something, something? It's a bit grinchy. Especially because there would be a birthday in that time. And you would imagine what, they're not going to buy them a birthday present? Maybe they primarily date people born on leap day. So they only have to buy them a present once every four years.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And you better hope it's niche. And not the first leap year, either. No, no, no. Maybe that could be a new dating app. Leap year babies. And it's only for people born on leap day. And then the, you know, Grinches. Yeah. And the budget conscious people join this app to find just those people born on a leap day.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Perfect. Gorgeous. Well, they're still a little pile. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Well, there is a bank in Australia, Up Bank. It's a small bank, only one million customers. What's it called? Up Bank.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Yeah, Up. And they have provided individual and overall kind of wrapped reports for all of their customers. No, I'm all good. Like you literally get like a Spotify wrapped, but for your banking. I'll weaponise that. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, rap, but for your banking. I'll weaponize that. I know. Well, that's the thing. If you had a joint account, I don't know if it would show you like.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I would need to break down by card. Because you've got two different cards. Yeah, you can. When we go through our bank statements on a rare occasion, you see the end of my card is a three, the end of his is a seven. And that's how you know. And then you see a string of three, three, three, three, three, so we scroll on until we find some sevens.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Are there ever many sevens? There's some sevens. Okay, mostly threes. Pretty rare, the old seven. Yeah, a lot of threes. Threes, I'm seeing threes. So the report and the rap that they give their banking customers lets you see clearly the money coming in
Starting point is 00:31:04 and where it was spent. So they were able to, at the end of this, wrapped, say that their customers this year were spending less on restaurants and cafes, pubs and bars, takeaways and hobbies, and that's likely because 25%, there was an increase of 25% on rent, mortgage, utilities and insurance.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah, right. But so it breaks it down and knows exactly, because I know some banks here you can have, like, these kind of reports, right, on your internet banking? Or they have, like, icons. I remember there was, like, one bank was doing, like, a pie chart. Oh, wasn't it ANZ? And you went through and selected, that's a supermarket, da-da-da,
Starting point is 00:31:40 and then it kind of learned, and it was like, this is how you've spent your money. Yeah, it was like a wheel, and they'd be like, getting close to your weekly budget, Hayley. Again, I don't want to know. I'm just going to log into my banking and I'll have a look at a statement. I don't need that shit. Where's all the money gone? Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Like, you go to the supermarket for one or two things and it's like, $50. I was just trying to see if there was a, you know, something that was popping up as a repetitive thing
Starting point is 00:32:10 because that would be an interesting thing. Like, where are you spending the most? It'd be supermarket. My biggest one would be the supermarket because I go like
Starting point is 00:32:17 every day or so. You see, I don't. You go once a week? Once or twice a week. Right. But imagine if it was like, here's all your bars,
Starting point is 00:32:28 here's all your travel. I'm good. It's okay. It's in the past. It's in the past. Do you know what I mean? For me, I'm more of a positive forward-thinking person, and I'm like, what is to come?
Starting point is 00:32:39 What is in the future? Why are we looking back? We don't need graphs and charts. Oh, God, how arduous. No, there's no theme, but I'm sort of close. A lot of sevens. I'm sort of close. Yeah, a lot of threes. A lot of threes.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I've seen quite a lot of threes. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. We've had Uber Eats dropping you home to the door. We've had pads on the feet. We've had other unrememberable hacks from Shannon. And now it is their final one of the year. Can she do it?
Starting point is 00:33:12 I was just going to propose something. What? If it's not three or above, we cancel the segment. Oh, Shannon! How do you feel about that? I just think, you know, it's just not working, is it? It's just not working, is it? It's just the hacks, they just don't make sense.
Starting point is 00:33:28 It's like watching a cat in the final throes of life. It seems unfair to drag it out when there is a modern solution. We don't want to have to find you under the deck because you've crawled away to go to final sleep. We have had a text of encouragement. This is your week, Shannon. Your week, okay. If I knew this was the last one, I might have gone back to the drawing
Starting point is 00:33:52 board first. Oh, here we go. Great preface, great preface. I mean, they should always be top quality hacks, is what I would say. I hope they're well researched. I hope they've been tested by Shannon. In my delusional little brain, they're at five. Okay, yeah. I just am now realising you guys don't think the same way I do.
Starting point is 00:34:09 But we tell you every time. We have high standards. Yeah. Okay, what is your hack today? Well, when you're moving, it's really stressful to declutter, right? Yes. You're trying to get rid of, like, seven trinket trays, a few half-burnt candles.
Starting point is 00:34:23 You just want to get things in boxes but then you start organising things being like I don't need this yeah so does it spark joy do you remember the hack
Starting point is 00:34:31 about if this had human shit on it would I keep it I do remember that hack I do remember that hack what are my what are my more preferred hacks
Starting point is 00:34:38 is it worth cleaning off the shit to keep this item do I really want this if it had human shit on it would I keep it or would I throw it? So this is another kind of hack in that vein. So what you do is you host a lovely little dinner party.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Love that. Love that. How fun. You get all your friends around and you say, guys, hostess with the mostess, time for some pass the parcel. And what you do is you wrap up all your half burnt candles, your trinket trays, maybe some chipped plates, and you just distribute them all to your friends.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I don't know why I've been formed playing, don't put the chip plates in. No one wants those. Are they gone? Yeah, I told you this. I bought a whole new set of plates. Oh, and she didn't like them. She didn't like them.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Oh, that's right. Too heavy. Too well made. Too heavy. Too smooth edged. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I like mine jagged and light and possibly brutally going to break in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And roastable for three years. But yeah, so you just hand out. Shannon, this is terrible. There must be more to this hack. Wait, hang on. How big's the parcel? Shannon, imagine I'm moving out and I don't want one of my odd Ottomans or chairs. A whole Ottoman.
Starting point is 00:35:46 How am I going to wrap an Ottoman in a pass the parcel? And then have other things in it. You just get some creativity. Why want your shit if you don't want it? No, but everyone loves pass the parcel. Carmen, why are you trying to come to the defence on this? Pass the parcel if the prize isn't lollies or a cool little bangle. You could chuck a favourite in with each one.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Oh my God, the bangles in them. Oh my God, I've got an awesome and a favourite. And it'll be an orange fruit burst because you would have eaten all the good ones. Yeah. Karwin, do you think this is a good hack? Look, I think it's a fun hack. I think it's a fun solution.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I think this is just a case of women blindly supporting women. I'm calling the vet. And I'm calling an end to women supporting women. Calling the vet. Hello, yeah. Yeah, it's time. It's a sad day. And I'm calling an end to women supporting women. Calling the vet is for sure. Yeah, it's time. It's a sad day. If you can come, maybe do it at home
Starting point is 00:36:29 so there's no additional stress. You're telling me if you went to one of your respective houses for a little dinner party, you've had a few drinks, someone whips out a pass the parcel, puts on a fun little ditty, you're not going to have a good time. No, I'd say what are we, five? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:36:43 And if the first one was an ottoman or a chipped plate, I'd be like, what's happening? You just want me to carry this in the bin on the way out? I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:36:50 this is so awkward. Okay, okay, you donate an ottoman to the Sally's or something, come on. I'm talking trinket trays. Do you guys not have a zest for life?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yeah, I do. I have mutual zest for life. Maybe I don't. I certainly have less zest for life after hearing this hack than I did prior to. Hang on, but we should talk about the fact that on Friday, it's our last show,
Starting point is 00:37:08 we have decided to do a secret Santa. Yes. What? Listen. You were in the room. You were in the room, but don't worry, you don't have to go anywhere. All you have to do is look around. Similar to this hack, all you have to do is look around your house
Starting point is 00:37:21 and find something you don't want anymore, bring it in, wrap it up, and then we're going to do like a little blind Christmas thing. It's going to be great. I'm hoping he brings eggs because I'm hungry. His eggs are good eggs. Good eggs. But don't bring... I don't want an Ottoman.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I'm going away for four weeks. You're going away. You don't want the eggs. Yeah, I don't want eggs. But an Ottoman. Perfect. For when you get back and want to put your feet up. I'm more of a smaller Ottoman foot poof.
Starting point is 00:37:43 You're more of a poof? I would like more of a poof than an Ottoman. A nice stuffed poof. A nice tiny foot poof. Yeah. I love a Charlie poof. Sounds like you guys are pretty happy right now. Wrap up Charlie poof,
Starting point is 00:37:53 but I don't know if you can breathe in that wrapping. Yeah. Well... I'd put my foot on Charlie poof. I think he'd get bored after a few days in your house just letting you put... Yeah. He'd start tinging things and making music.
Starting point is 00:38:07 You'd be like, shut up, that's not your job. You're a really, you're a shit poof. So I can elevate my feet. Shut up, Charlie poof. Yeah. You're a foot poof. Take my feet away. Or I'm going to switch you out for that guy from Turkey.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Shannon, it's not your worst. I'm giving it a two. I'm giving it a two. I'm not even giving it that. I'm not even, I'm not even gracing it with a number. Wow. So that brings you down to a it a two. I'm giving it a two. I'm not even giving it that. I'm not even gracing it with a number. Wow. So that brings you down to a two. A non-existent.
Starting point is 00:38:30 A one point something. It brings you down to euthanasia. No, but when you divide something by one, it's the same number. He didn't give a number. It says two. Yeah, it's two. Did someone mention in saying this is one of your better hacks? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I mean, that's saying how shit the rest of them are and how good this one is. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I would like to now speak to you, listeners, and you, Fletch, and not Hayley, actually, if she could leave. That'd be great.
Starting point is 00:39:03 You want me to leave? Yes. No, I'm cool. I'm just one of the boys. Get out of my face. I'm just one of the guys. No, I wanted to talk about something that always happens to me, and it happened again on Friday, and my kids were like,
Starting point is 00:39:13 man, that happens to you a lot. And I was like, it does, doesn't it? People love talking to me about the chimney when I'm in the chimney. They love talking about it. And it's the same. I can understand when I'm driving around the Land Rover that I've got because it's an old car and if you grew up on a farm
Starting point is 00:39:28 and if you grew up on a farm, like it was the car everybody's grandad had before they had a ute and it was a, and everyone's got a memory associated with a Land Rover if they grew up rural and they're like, oh we had one of those. But the Jimny's like, and I tell you what people always say how do you find it? And that's the first thing they say to me, they don't go, g'day mate how are ya? They go, they point at the Jimny people always say, how do you find it? And that's the first thing they say to me. They don't go, g'day, mate, how are you?
Starting point is 00:39:46 They go, they point at the Germany and they go, how do you find it? Yeah, right. Which is kind of their way of saying, what a funny little car for a big man. Yeah. This is the two. I've heard they're deathly slow. They're either interested in buying one and they always say, like, for my wife or for my daughter.
Starting point is 00:40:04 But you can tell deep down they want the silly little four wheel drive. 100% they do. I don't know if they do. I see a lot of white girls driving these. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I always laugh and think of you. White girls and old dudes. Yeah. I definitely wanted one before I drove yours.
Starting point is 00:40:20 When I borrowed it to go to the doctor and I had my foot down and it wasn't moving. Like the wind was blowing you back. You know. Oh, you know, she's a big square beast. So, you know, the wind really hits that side like a sail. They're so cute that they are. Always.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah. How do you find it? How do you find it? How do you find it? And people will just go out of their way to stomp and ask. They'll just stomp and look at it and then they'll look at me, how do you find it? Or, can I ask you about this? And you're like, yep. What do you want to know? And they'll say, how do you find it? Or, can I ask you about this? And you're like, yep.
Starting point is 00:40:46 What do you want to know? And they'll say, how do you find it? And I say, fun. Lots of fun. Yeah. And they're like, oh, okay. And I'm like, it's not fast. It's not fast.
Starting point is 00:40:54 It's not fast, but it's fun. It's a fun car. You got a fast car. See, Tracy, to you, never. Yeah, not to me. She was not singing about my car, which is a slow little. Putt around. fun little car. A little putt-putt.
Starting point is 00:41:06 But I will say, number one car reviewed by driven.co.nz this year. Really? The Suzuki Jimny. Is it? And it is. Lots of fun. It is fun to drive around with you, isn't it? It's fun.
Starting point is 00:41:17 But I wouldn't want one. Yeah, fun for you because you always say shotgun and then I'm crammed in the back. In the tiny little back with my big long legs. And your long torso. Very long in the torso. Very long in the torso. Long in the back in the tiny little back with my big long legs. And your long torso. Very long in the torso. Very long in the torso. Long in the torso. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:29 But it got me thinking about what people always talk to you in public about. Do you know, I think people with like unique dogs, like husky. Oh my God, yes.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Like how often do you go up to someone with a husky and you're like, oh my God. Yes. There is one guy in Auckland on the North Shore who has a husky crossed you're like, oh my God. There is one guy in Auckland on the North Shore
Starting point is 00:41:45 who has a husky crossed with something exceptional. A corgi. A Siberian husky and an Alaskan marmalade. So you know this guy? Marmalade.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Marmalade. It looks like a husky, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's just bigger. No matter what, if you see this dog on the street, you're like,
Starting point is 00:42:00 oh my God, can I pet your dog? And then you're like, sorry, you must get this all the time. He's like, constantly. What was that dog we saw at the cafe? Yeah, this all the time he's like constantly what was that dog
Starting point is 00:42:05 we saw at the cafe yeah that was a it's like Henry Cavill's dog and it had blue eyes yeah again that was really cute we stopped that guy
Starting point is 00:42:13 and annoyed him all the time and it's just the constant he knows what he did he knew what he was doing when he bought that dog but do you think people do know
Starting point is 00:42:20 and like I'm not petting a dog yeah do you think they get sick of it do you reckon people with like like I definitely got it a bit sick of it do you reckon people with like uh like i definitely got it a bit when i had my pink hair people being like that's fun love the pink hair oh my god much maintenance that's one right here much maintenance on there

Like yesterday when that lady was like, oh, have a great holiday and you were like, laugh your nails down. Oh my God, I always do. You always do. You'll tap someone and be like,
Starting point is 00:42:49 I just love this dress. You look fabulous, darling. Yeah. Whereas you never say that to us. Because you literally wore blue t-shirts today. You know what I mean? You're wearing a black t-shirt
Starting point is 00:42:57 that you wore yesterday that was dirty yesterday, Vaughan. You guys told me I should wear t-shirts all the time. You literally wore it again today. Yeah, but you rotate different days.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Fletch, you wear the most uninspiring outfit. I mean, what am I supposed to say? Is this normcore, babes? Oh my God. Normcore. Hans, those caps and t-shirts are just oncriable on you today. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It sounds insincere, but I'll take it. This is what we want to ask this morning, and we want to take your calls. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. What do people always talk to you about in public? Strangers. What do they stop and chat about? What are they always asking you?
Starting point is 00:43:33 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. Give us a call. Well, Vaughn, you're constantly getting stopped and asked about your ridiculous tiny car. Yeah. The Jimny. Yeah. Beautiful little Jimny. It's not bad.
Starting point is 00:43:47 How does this go? Well, we want to know from you what people always stop and ask you about. Taryn, what is it that people stop and ask you about? Morning. I always get asked about my tattoos, what they mean, do they hurt? Yeah. I saw a guy at the gym the other day who had like, you know, when you do like four lines and then you put a dash through it, like five, like you're in prison and you're counting the days.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Someone had a tattoo of that on their like calf. And I was like, ouch, it's not years. And I was like, I really want it to be like, what does it mean? But then I was like, everyone asks what that means. They do, they do. Is there one in particular that constantly gets questioned? Oh, Scotty. I have sort of a girl's portrait with an owl on the top of it,
Starting point is 00:44:32 and it's always, what does it mean? And I'm just, it's pretty. Yeah. I like this. I just like it. Do you call it a thing these days? An owl or an owl? Oh, an owl.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Owl. Owl. Yeah. But Taryn, like what does it mean? Is it that the owl is sort of wise and women are wise?
Starting point is 00:44:51 It's a feminist statement. That's right, isn't it? I'm going to go with that. Yeah, yeah. Women are wise. Listen to women. Taryn, thank you. Dave, what do people
Starting point is 00:45:00 always stop and ask you about? I've got a new personalised plate that's just caused a bit of confusion. Is it one of the ones where you're reading it, you're behind it going, Garatimut? Garatimutuni? Is it an A or a B?
Starting point is 00:45:16 Yeah. Right. What is your plate? Do you mind telling us? Oh, yeah, of course. So when you go on planes, have you noticed that there's like a tail ridge on there that's ZK and then three letters? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Yeah, so I'm an aviation nerd, so I got ZK and then DAV on it. And it got more attention from the people walking past my house than it did because I was having to like bash my old number plates off with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer because I put anti-theft screws on them. Yeah. It was way less interesting than the weird number plate that I had on the car. old number plates off with a flat head screwdriver and a hammer because I put anti-theft screws on them. It was way less interesting than the weird number plate that I had on the car. Yeah, alright, so you've made, it's like, this is my aircraft. Yeah. Yeah, basically.
Starting point is 00:45:54 It's a really good way to tell people you're autistic. What does ZKDAV mean? It means I have autism. Leave me alone. Yeah. Oh, Dave, that's great. Guys, I've got to go. A train's coming. I'm giving Dave our caller of the day.
Starting point is 00:46:12 We do this for a caller of the day or a text. Yeah, great. Thanks to the warehouse. We've got a $50 warehouse voucher for you, Dave, for making us lol there. Well done. I'll just take that, mate. Right, well done.
Starting point is 00:46:22 That's why I call a long-time listener as well. Oh, yeah, ding the bell. You should have told us. Fantastic. And you can wrap up toys, clothes, beach gear, and way more and get it all under the tree, under budget, all thanks to the warehouse. Today's dazzling deal, 50% off all girls' and women's dresses excludes clearance. Well, Dave probably isn't going to want to.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Actually, who am I to assume he isn't going to want women's girls' dresses? It's not all they have, Hayley. Oh, okay. You don't have to spend it on today's dazzling deal. You can clarify. Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. What do people always stop and ask you about?
Starting point is 00:46:51 We'll get to more of those next. What do people in public always stop you about? Forney gets stopped to ask whether the chimney is, what is it? How is it? How is it? How do you find it? How do you find it?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Kind of underhanded. Yeah, yeah. Is it a real car? Yeah. A man like you? Emma, what do you always it? How do you find it? Kind of underhanded. Yeah, yeah, sort of. Is it a real car? Yeah. A man like you? Emma, what do you always get stopped and asked? So I always get asked if my children have the same dad. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Who is saying that? Old people. Is it old people? It's old people. Older ladies, yep, in the supermarket. Do your kids look really different from each other? Absolutely different. And they're about 18 months apart too.
Starting point is 00:47:27 So if you put them side by side in the trolley, it's, yeah. Right. Do they have the same dad? Yeah, they do have the same dad. Do they? Emma, it's time to be honest. Emma.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Emma. Come on, we're friends. No, no, 100%. Wow. So one of them just got a little bit more of something else, I guess. Yeah, so one of them looked exactly like me. Yeah, blonde, curly hair.
Starting point is 00:47:50 And then the other one looked exactly like her dad. Like, darker hair, darker skin. Yeah. Wow. Okay, so your people are just like, what's going on here? Yeah, they look at them and they're like, wow, beautiful girls. And they're like, same dad. Same dad?
Starting point is 00:48:03 That is so none of your business. I? That is so bad. I could never ask someone that. I could never. Don't know, mate. It was a wild orgy. Who knows? There's stuff everywhere. Amazing. Thank you, Emma. Let's go to Shayla. Shayla, good morning. What do you always get stopped and asked? So I have
Starting point is 00:48:21 two and a half year old twin boys. So anytime we're out in public, it is, are they twins? As well as also details about their conception that people seem to think they can find out. Sorry? Is it because IVF and all that has a higher chance of multiple pregnancies? Yes, yeah. So it's usually, are they twins? Are they identical?
Starting point is 00:48:44 Was it IVF? Oh. Oh, yeah. So it's usually, are they twins? Are they identical? Was it IVF? Oh. Oh, wow. I just feel like we don't hear this. We just never ask. Too personal. Idiot these questions. It's like you're asking a stranger.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. How do you respond? Usually just kind of smile and walk away now. There's also like the double trouble comments. Oh, you've got your hands full oh yeah yeah so a lot of generic boomer comments yeah oh bless them uh shayla thank you some messages in i'm a six foot three female and i get people coming out to me saying gosh you're tall
Starting point is 00:49:18 yeah i bet like i didn't know and then you know the first question is, do you play basketball? Oh, yeah, do you play basketball? Aaron gets it no matter what. Oh, gosh, you're tall. Aaron's response is always, really? You're a big boy. I couldn't imagine him bouncing a basketball. Oh, no, no, no, never. He's never done that.
Starting point is 00:49:37 He played rugby and that was it. So these are the dog ones, okay? Dalmatian puppy in public. Two Great Danes. Boys get asked if we've got saddles on them. My in-laws have got Great Danes. And when something's bigger than the person, it is quite hard to ignore it and not make it a feature piece.
Starting point is 00:49:58 You can't just be like, hello, dog. My baby has big blue eyes. She turns a smile into an intense death stare at strangers, which soon moves them on pretty quickly. But, oh, my God, your baby's big blue eyes. She turns a smile into an intense death stare at strangers, which soon moves them on pretty quickly. But they're like, oh my God, your baby's got beautiful eyes. Wow, big eyes. I have bright, ranger children. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:13 And people always comment on their hair. Don't call them into their face. Standard question. If you're in the car with your mum right now and you've got red hair and she doesn't and she's looking a little bit guilty and like grip the steering wheel a little bit, totally your mum.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Yeah, your mum texts into a radio station to make fun of you and call you a wrangler. The standard question is, does your dad have red hair? No, neither of us do, Susan. It's some freakish throwback. She said freakish throwback. So you're freak, you've got freak kids. Wow, if that is your mum and you're in the car with her,
Starting point is 00:50:43 completely forgiven if you just open the passenger door and tuck and roll. Find a new one. Get away from that horrible woman. She's bullying you for life. She's keeping them grounded. Rangers, hey, rangers, dinner's ready. You orange losers.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I ride an electric unicycle. I've seen people on these. I'd rather have a ranger child than one that drove an electric unicycle. I've seen people on these. I'd rather have a ranger child than one that drove an electric unicycle. If we're ranking undesirables. Mum, Dad, I ride electric unicycles. No, you don't. It's a phase. Look how upset your mother is.
Starting point is 00:51:20 We ride two-wheeled bikes around here. Get a motorcycle. Oh, there are humans. I've seen people on these. They're like those Segway things. Yeah, yeah, they're like, they're crazy. Gotta have good core strengths. Yeah. Keep the balance. Yeah, people always stop and ask me what it is and how it works.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Someone, people always stop me and ask if my daughter is autistic. No, she's two and she's having a tantrum. Oh, God. Who are these people? Boomers. Oh, you might want to see if she's two and she's having a tantrum. Oh, God. Who are these people? Boomers. You might want to see if she's got autism.
Starting point is 00:51:49 I'm a very gay man who does my own nail art and people always compliment me on them in public. Interestingly enough, it's older white men who seem impressed by them and say,
Starting point is 00:51:57 would you mind if I took a photo to show my wife? Oh. Honey, honey, look at this fabulous young man I met. And his stunning nails.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I think he might have been a homosexual, but I didn't ask. I dare not. But then I straight away turned to a woman and asked if her child was autistic. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. What was the sentence you kept saying to us yesterday, Vaughan? Everything goes my way or nothing ever goes that bad for me.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I've never had anything where I'm like, how am I going to get out of this situation? Does that just luck my way out of things? It was the perfect attitude that we needed yesterday. Yesterday we had to pick up, now this, I'm very excited about this. Got a spa pool. Oh!
Starting point is 00:52:44 Must be nice. I tell you what, it will be when we set it up. Yeah. But we had to go, because we bought the spa pool,
Starting point is 00:52:52 we didn't want to spring for the extra delivery cost. Oh God, yeah. Oh, it's taking the piss, mate. What was it,
Starting point is 00:52:56 400 bucks an hour? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? And it would have been, I thought you were going to say like $50.
Starting point is 00:53:03 You know, because have you ever done that thing where you've bought an appliance and they're like it's $50 delivery you're like absolutely not and then you go and hire a trailer and it costs way more than $50 it's real heavy
Starting point is 00:53:13 it's a pain and you're like I should have just paid the $50 this is what Aaron had orchestrated was nah I'm not paying that I'm not paying the delivery company because it came up from the South Island right not paying them to drop it off the delivery company because it came up from the South Island right not paying them to drop it off and put it in position
Starting point is 00:53:28 in our house instead we will go and pick up a flatbed trailer then we need to find someone who's confident with the trailer because neither of us are and that person is Vaughan
Starting point is 00:53:38 then we're going to go out to a different suburb then we're going to pick it up we're going to get it on the trailer then we're going to work out how to strap it to the trailer then we're going to drive it back to the house then we're going to back it down the driveway then we're going to pick it up, we're going to get it on the trailer, then we're going to work out how to strap it to the trailer, then we're going to drive it back to the house, then we're going to back it down the driveway,
Starting point is 00:53:47 then we're going to get it off, and honestly. What a rigmarole. What a rigmarole. And we would have been so lost if it wasn't for Vaughan Allen Smith. Because when I thought... What could go wrong?
Starting point is 00:53:56 I thought... Here's me and Aaron, right? Yeah. Aaron is stressed out from this house, not super confident with backing a long trailer like that with something massive on it. It's weird because he looks like a man that could back a trailer.
Starting point is 00:54:09 He's good at other things. Looks can be deceiving, can't they? They can be. But definitely someone who is really attention to detail, you know, perhaps overly cautious with things, you know. What if, what if, what if, what if? Then it's me, little miss anxiety bubble. So here we are.
Starting point is 00:54:23 We needed someone like Vaughn who anytime Aaron was like, yeah, but what about this? Vaughn's like, nah, nah, she's all good. Don't worry about it. Nah, nah, she's all right. What if it slides off on the motorway?
Starting point is 00:54:34 But honestly, if it does, isn't that like, what an amazing story. So this is Vaughn, we pick up Vaughn, we get the trailer and stuff. Off we go. We get there.
Starting point is 00:54:43 We don't have enough straps long enough to put this thing on. Dude, here's how it worked. We pulled into the main freight place to pick it up. The pickup depot. They were like, we're going to go inside and sort it out. So I just parked and waited. And then they were like, yep, come on through. And this roller door goes, and we drove.
Starting point is 00:55:01 I was like, is that it? And they were like, yeah. And I was like, that's massive. That's huge. Because it's all packaged up with everything it needs. So the package was ginormous. and we drove up and I was like is that it and they were like yeah and I was like that's massive huge because it's all packaged up with everything it needs so the package
Starting point is 00:55:09 was ginormous and to mention 250 kgs so here the three of us are then they put it on the back right and then we're like
Starting point is 00:55:16 you've got to tie it down you've got to strop it down like this if it had just been me and Aaron we would have been like none of these straps none of these straps
Starting point is 00:55:22 are long enough what are we going to do oh god everyone's like strap a strap to straps. None of these straps are long enough. What are we going to do? Oh, God. Vaughn's like, no! Strap a strap to a strap. Start strapping straps to straps. So we went up and moved it back, and that worked, and I was like, oh yeah, that'll work. Yeah. How many
Starting point is 00:55:33 of these do we need? I was like, I don't know, just chuck a couple on, and then Aaron's like, my poor diagonal. I'm like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, Vaughn wouldn't have done another diagonal one, but Aaron's straps. I would have done two across and been happy with it. Also not his spa pole. He doesn't care as much. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:55:47 This is what we needed though. Same thing. Then we're driving along. One of the straps is flapping. It's not taut. Oh my God. That thing could be just wrapped around in it.
Starting point is 00:55:56 You could have a taut strap. I did the thing where we strapped it on and I did it tight and then I went bang, bang. That's not going anywhere. Which means that the God of straps is now watching over us on our journey and we'll make sure nothing goes wrong.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Plenty of people have had that same attitude and they've lost a boat on the motorway. Well, I know. We have to talk about that. Ah, dickheads. Not like me. But even the drive, we would have been like, drive, look behind. Drive, look behind.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Vaughn's driving. We're in safe hands. The key to driving with a trailer is forgetting you're towing a trailer. I don't think that's the key to... That's the key to driving with a trailer. Don't worry about it. You'll overthink things. You'll overthink yourself. So then we get into
Starting point is 00:56:35 our street and now, Fletch, you know our driveway is so narrow and it pushes against a fence and our newly renovated house that you know if we were to scratch. Thin and narrow. And this long thing if we were to scratch. Thin and narrow. Throttle, yeah. And this long thing. And we were like, oh, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:50 maybe you could just drive in a little bit, Vaughan. And we're happy to carry it the rest of the way. Vaughan's like, nah, what's the worst thing ever? I'll be all right. Beautiful. One of the sexiest things I've ever seen. This man back this huge trailer. He saw Vaughan in a different light.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Yeah. And then this was one of my favourite parts of the day was how are we going to get this 250 kg mini pool off of this trailer? There's three of us here. I go rally the troops. I go across to the neighbor and then I go to a local building site where none of them speak English. And I go, can I have two strong men? Two men.
Starting point is 00:57:17 How did you communicate that without speaking English? I was talking to them and they all looked at me very confusingly. She did it in an Asian accent. Really loud and really slow. Yeah, and then I put on my Asian accent and then they could understand me. She said hello and I... Hayley! I didn't. I was talking to them. I'm allowed to make those jokes!
Starting point is 00:57:36 Your children are Asian! My wife's children and my wife are Asian! Anyway, one guy managed to figure out what I was saying and then Vaughan and Aaron came up with the idea of doing it like the bloody Egyptians, where we put these long poles through it and we all lifted it like we were moving the stones. Like you were carrying a pyramid stone around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Or a pharaoh or something. Yeah. If that'd be on the crown, it would be a whole other thing. Honestly, it went without a hitch. I don't know why anyone was worried about either of us. This is the whole thing. We would have just been like the whole time. But Vaughn's attitude of just like, it's all going to be fine.
Starting point is 00:58:07 It's arrogance. It's white man arrogance. It is white arrogance. And it's an incredible superpower. It's incredible to be around. Arrogant white man. That's my superpower. So thank you, Vaughan.
Starting point is 00:58:16 And did you know what? At the end of the day, we did a little favour for Vaughan and he bought us an almond gold from Mitre 10 each. And we all sat there. We cheersed our almond golds. Yep. To a job well done. To a perfect end to a perfect day. And the lady at Mitre 10 each. And we all sat there, we cheersed our almond golds. Yep. To a job well done. To a perfect end to a perfect day.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And the lady at Mitre 10 said to me, these would be cheaper if you bought them from the supermarket. And I said, you're completely missing the point of a three pack of almond gold, my love. Yeah. My love. That was probably the most stressed I was all day, was when the woman told me it would be cheaper to get almond gold from the supermarket. I was like, why are you trying to ruin my day?
Starting point is 00:58:44 I was trying to have an almond gold with my pal. Because we're being good boys. If only you had a mini fridge for those almond gold. That did exactly what we said. We talked about it. We talked about it. We talked about the mini fridge. Because they were a little soft and the teeth went through the chocolate too easy.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Could have done with a mini fridge. Yeah, totally could have done with a mini fridge. Quarter past eight. Next on the show, if you are not living your dream life, I have the answer for you. Easy solution next. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. Not much ChatGPT can't do at the moment. We've talked about they can do meal plans for you.
Starting point is 00:59:14 They can plan your holiday. They can... Take your job. Yeah, they can take your job. They can organise your calendar, your family. It's amazing. Can it help you manifest your dream life? People have been trying this
Starting point is 00:59:26 and it turns out that ChatGPT is actually quite helpful. And we're going to put this to the test. Vaughan, do you have ChatGPT open? I can get ChatGPT open. It's bookmarked on my page. No, I don't want to log in. Let's ChatGPT. Let's ChatGPT.
Starting point is 00:59:39 So what people are doing is saying like, we want to manifest our dream life. For example, this person said, I am a 30-something, this is their dream. I'm in my 30s, I'm a successful writer, and I own a house near the beach. That's their dream life, right? Oh, wait,
Starting point is 00:59:57 okay, so I'm not putting in what I'm currently doing. No. Okay. So you put, how could I be a writer, successful writer, living by the beach in a nice house? Yeah, how do I become a successful writer that owns a house by the beach? And what ChatGPT came back for this example was incredible. Well, this version of it, well, maybe we'll change it.
Starting point is 01:00:17 We'll come up with our own dream for our one for you. Because ChatGPT said to this person, like this, bullet points. Build your writing career and financial stability. Upskill. Take writing and publishing courses. Grow your online presence. Share your writing.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Behind the scenes moments. Monetize your writing. Pursue freelance projects. Save aggressively. Next thing, achieve career milestones and boost income. Next thing, secure your beach house and private chef. Research locations. Visit potential beach areas.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Focusing on locations within your budget, plan financially, save for the beach. Like, it kind of broke down. So then people were going like, how? Is that going to be a shock though, as in like that might be quite hard? I know, but. Like, how realistic is that? But ChatGPT is
Starting point is 01:01:00 like the emotionless version of it. So it's not going to be like, Han, be realistic. You're a terrible writer. I've read your work. It's going to go, okay, based on everything that I have access to, here is how you would build that life. And people are like, this is genius.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Because if you have a dream that's so far away from what you are. It's not going to sugarcoat anything. It's just going to go, here are the steps. Okay, let's dream up one. I've done one. Okay, great, great, great. How do I become a hermit who sees no one but his daughters and lives
Starting point is 01:01:28 on a very isolated farm that's self-sufficient and off-grid but has a ready supply of whiskey? Relatable, Vaughan, very relatable. Just something you've plucked. Yeah. It's certainly not my situation. Choosing the right location, it says remote but accessible because if your
Starting point is 01:01:43 daughters are only visiting, if you go too remote, it might be too challenging for them. Off-grid terrain, the ideal land wouldn't be like really hilly. It would be fertile, abundant rainfall, moderate climate. Land purchase, you've got to start looking for one that fits the bill for like how much you can afford. Let's do something more relatable, like how do I become a successful TikTok star? Ooh. With a hot...
Starting point is 01:02:07 Don't. I heard Chandler GBS says don't. How do I become a wag? Yes. You know, like to a successful footballer and live in Dubai. And have an affair with a brown chef. I don't know if it...
Starting point is 01:02:20 How do I become a... I don't know if I have advice for that. Do you reckon? How do I become a... What am I typing here? A successful footballer's wife with size 14DD breast implants? But that's easy. I can tell you the answer to the last half. We want Chet GPT to tell us.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Okay. How do I become a successful footballer's wife? Become a successful footballer's wife. Okay, build your own identity and confidence. You've got to know who you are and stay true to yourself and look after yourself. Find a compatible partner. Focus on emotional connection and be genuine.
Starting point is 01:02:59 It's not about emotion. The main premise is he's a successful footballer. Well, you've got to embrace the public life to understand the challenges of being a footballer's wife. Support your partner's career and respect boundaries. It's important to show love and support, but also crucial to maintain your own personal space and independence. Yeah, but ChatGPT, where do I meet this man?
Starting point is 01:03:16 Embrace your physical appearance. Have body positive... I think he's trying to talk you out of the titties. It is! I think he's talking me out of my turkey titties. Focus on self-love, express yourself through style and be body positive. It's not pro-burpees.
Starting point is 01:03:28 It's not pro-changing your body. Okay, let's do one more. How do I live in South America? On a beach. On a beach. Yep. Surrounded by... Coconut trees.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Coconut trees and beautiful people. And monkeys. And monkeys. It's just going to say move to Costa Rica or something. And with a pet cat. No, the monkeys would fight with the cat. I think, to be honest, if you've got a monkey, you've got a superior pet.
Starting point is 01:04:00 That's Chachi Petit's problem, to work out how the monkey and cat get along. Choosing the right location. Brazil. The coast of Brazil is lined with tropical beaches. And Ecuador. So it gives you a few places. Colombia, Peru, Chile.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Finding your dream property. You've got to live amongst nature. Maybe you're better renting, it says, than buying. Legal considerations. It's not really telling me how I'm getting the money to do this. Do you know what I mean? Caring for your cat in a tropical environment. Oh, snakes.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Because have you seen like some snakes in Australia like eat cats whole? Yeah. It's wild. You wouldn't want to be scared of Raleigh just being out in the backyard. I saw a diagram of all the snakes of the world's different like jaw capabilities when they like dislocate their jaw to like eat a whole thing. Human sometimes. Yeah, dude. Easy. Piece of biggest cake why the biggest one could do a water buffalo python like legs wild with a bit of planning you know you'd want to lay your water buffalo out as lean as you
Starting point is 01:04:56 possibly could i reckon me after christmas day would be a bit of a stretch yeah god yeah dislocate the jaw play zms fledge vaughn and hayley Bit of a stretch. Yeah, go on, yeah. Dislocate the jaw. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Can you stop being so silly, please? Brian, you're showing off like your father and I have friends over and we're not giving you enough attention.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Here is Christopher Walken after his feelings got hurt. Ow, my feelings. Ow, my feelings. Ow, ow, my feelings. They've been hurt. Wow! You really hurt my feelings. Oh, no, you've slipped.
Starting point is 01:05:50 It went too far. It went too far. It went too far. All right, it's Christmas week here at Fact of the Day. Did you get my Christmas fact? Yes, I did. I'm doing it. I put his Christmas fact in too.

Starting point is 01:06:08 Because next year, factor the days up for grabs. It was the real reason why Santa wears red and it's not to do with Coca-Cola. It's just more visible in the sleigh, isn't it? Was it easy to print? No. Was it one of the colours you could print
Starting point is 01:06:23 in early print ads? Maybe I'm just sitting on a nifty little fact here You are sitting on a nifty little fact Because everyone's like it's Coca-Cola Just like Vaughan just did Vaughan was like Coca-Cola I did didn't I? Yeah exactly like that

Starting point is 01:06:48 Now I'm Chris Walker doing an impression of Fletch just then. Oh, my God. My God, these crazy hosts. Oh, my God. I'm tired of this guy. 20 years. Today's fact of the day is that there is a 35-foot Lego Christmas tree made from 364,000 Lego and Duplo bricks currently
Starting point is 01:07:12 at Legoland California Resort. I will say not worth the trip to San Diego. And you know I'm a huge Lego lover. Ouch. My feelings. Ouch. I've never been. I've always known it's there.
Starting point is 01:07:27 We went. It was like, I'm glad we did it before. We did Disney and Universal and the other ones back in LA. It was for like little kids. Yeah. And I was expecting a big Lego buy-in for me being a big, huge Lego nerd. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:44 The store was pretty cool because I think they get some Lego bits before like for me, being a big, huge Lego nerd, the store was pretty cool because I think they get some Lego bits before general public Lego stores get them. But yeah. It's a cool Christmas tree. It's a cool Christmas tree. 364,000. It took 3,000 hours to build.
Starting point is 01:07:57 When did they start? January? Yeah. Well, if you're working backwards. I don't know how many people were working on it, but that's a lot of hours. It's 10 hours a day. All the same colour pieces?
Starting point is 01:08:08 What do you mean? Like, did they... The green bits are green. Yeah, good. It looks like a tree. The green bits are green. Okay, good. The baubles are multicoloured.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Yeah, so that's where your different colours come in, because they did all the decorations and everything for it as well. Yeah. Bells, there's presents underneath, candy canes. It also features 500 LED lights, 40 Lego candles, and there's fireworks as well. Oh, Bells, there's presents underneath, candy canes.

Starting point is 01:08:31 bit on top. Yeah. Yeah, I remember those. My favourite two-piece Lego is the lightsabers from Lego Star Wars sets. Because, yeah, that's a lightsaber. Immediately, it's two pieces and you're like, lightsaber! Mine's the wigs. The different wigs, the different hairstyles for the different heads. You can buy a little
Starting point is 01:08:47 one that's 16 centimetres tall. Oh no, sorry, you can buy a tall one that's 30 centimetres in a box for at home. Oh yeah. And then you can get a medium one that's 23. And then, you're absurd. You've got your measurements all wrong. Yeah, there
Starting point is 01:09:03 you go. And then 16 is the small. So if you want to do a little E. You could do a little E. You could do a little E. It's like a replica of the biggery. But 364,000 pieces is insane to even comprehend what that looks like. That would hurt to stand on. Oh, imagine falling in it.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Yeah. Imagine being impaled on the giant Christmas tree. And then it shatters and all the rescuers who are trying to come to get you for some reason they're in bare feet and they can't make it to you. Ow! My foot! My foot is hurt! Ow! My feelings! So today's fact of the day is there's a 35 foot

Now, I don't know if this still happens, but each wax pot had a wire basket on top and we'd put the hairy piece of hot wax in the basket. Oh, that is yuck. And we'd melt the wax and strain the hair out.

But if a pet is put to sleep, they go in a freezer until they can get picked up to be cremated.
Starting point is 01:16:21 And if the owners don't want the ashes back, they just go into communal cremation with like strays and others. You know, they've got to do a bit of a cull.
