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.

ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Thank you, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show Fletchbourne and Hayley I'm just checking out what's on Trade Me
You know what around New Zealand is selling, what kind of goods
What you got there baby?
I think a full set of ceramic pheasants for the wall
Oh yeah they were a thing
They were a thing
Nan had the ducks
Yep my mum had the ducks.
The flying ducks.
Yeah, good fun.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
the mix of smells?
Nespresso did one.
Glasshouse does like,
oof,
the fragrance,
the candle plays.
Did you say you built
a glasshouse?
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.

Today's silly little pole, basically the minimum time you would be dating someone before you'd buy them a present.
Yeah.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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,
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?
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
who has a husky
crossed with
something exceptional.
A corgi.
A Siberian husky
and an Alaskan marmalade.
So you know this guy?
Marmalade.
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,
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
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
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
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
you always do this do you notice she always does this when we're just walking around
like yesterday when that lady was like oh have a great holiday and you were like
laugh your nails down oh my god you always do it or you start you'll tap someone and be like walking around. 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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
Owl.
Owl.
Yeah.
But Taryn,
like what does it mean?
Is it that the owl
is sort of wise
and women are wise?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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!
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,
we didn't want to spring
for the extra delivery cost.
Oh God,
yeah.
Oh,
it's taking the piss,
mate.
What was it,
400 bucks an hour?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
What?
And it would have been,
I thought you were going
to say like $50.
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
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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...
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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
at Legoland California Resort.
I will say not worth the trip to San Diego.
And you know I'm a huge Lego lover.
Ouch.

Ouch.
I've never been.
I've always known it's there.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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. It also features 500 LED lights, 40
Lego candles, and there's fireworks
as well. Oh yeah, Lego candles.
That's right, the little sticks with the little yellow
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
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
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.
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
Lego Christmas tree made from
364,000 pieces
of Lego currently sitting in California.
Fact of
the day, day, day,
day, day! day, day, day

We want to know your industry secrets
Yeah, people are sharing them online
The hush hush industry secrets
That you'll only know if you work in that industry.
Like in radio, sometimes they work together,
the radio shows, and they don't even like each other.
No, so we're genuine friends and you can hear it coming through.
I think it comes across.
I think it comes across.
Who did I say that?
Oh, sometimes we go and we get breakfast after the show
and the girl said to me and Vaughan the other day,
like, are you tired of talking to each other?
Why do you guys hang out after the show?
It's like genuine friendship.
Genuine friendship.
I'm not tired of each other.
Genuine friendship.
Some of them, though, not.
Yeah.
Emily, what is your industry secret?
So one of the many things that I studied was actually flourish straight.
Oh, yeah.
I'm just going through the drive-thru.
I'm getting breakfast.
Oh, yum.
Okay. Yum. Yeah. Oh, yum. Okay.
Yum.
Yum.
Okay.
What happens is when you do things for Flourish Street,
so even when we were studying, it was a case of times it by 300%.
So one flower could be $2.30, times it by 300%. At Mother's Day and Valentine's Day,
you times it by anywhere between 600 and 900%.
Oh!
Whoa!
I mean, we know, we all know this, don't we?
Yeah, we know of like markups and stuff.
But if you knew the base price of a rose
was like $1.50.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then Valentine's Day, you're paying...
$200 for a dozen roses
and they're just kind of growing on the side of the road lots of places too flowers they literally
aren't cemeteries a lot of them in cemeteries too are they natural yeah naturally they are dead body
sprout all wrapped up yeah yeah yeah wow but people just get like different different kinds
of roses so it's like some are more expensive if they've got like a longer stem or just a nicer stem. Yeah. So they can cost, like
they can range from say $2 to like
$6 a flower.
Yeah. And so we're just
not aware of the markups. We're just
lapping it up because we know.
We've got to tell our loved ones that we love them.
It's crazy. I have a friend that dries
flowers now and she is
so, she does, like she
works so below
what other florists do
because she's just a small florist, and people still whinge.
Yeah.
But, like, she's so underselling herself.
Yeah.
I love this.
Wow.
Okay, Emily, thank you.
Ask the messages in.
I sort of was hoping she'd get to the box in order,
and we'd have to listen to her and be like, oh, I'm just pausing.
Hi, can I get the NYC bagel?
It's a chicken, bacon, muffin combo.
What are you getting, a McMuffin combo?
Yeah.
Yum.
It's a chicken, bacon, muffin combo with a small Coke.? McMuffin combo? Yeah. Yum. It was a chicken bacon muffin combo
with a small Coke.
Yeah.
What a way to start the day.
She's a champion.
Love that.
Thank you, Emily.
Some messages in.
Anyone who says
something is done
with military precision
has never been in the military.
The majority of our activities
are a collection of stuff-ups,
cock-ups and balls-ups.
The only time anything goes well
is when we're packing up
so we can go
and have a drink
as quickly as possible
in moderation, of course. In moderation, of course.
In moderation, of course.
I work in health and this year to save money,
everyone's gloves used on wards and in emergency departments
are purchased in bulk from Timu.
What?
Wow.
I mean, it's all bulked from China anyway, right?
Yeah.
Oh my God, someone, this is terrible.
I'm in the radio industry.
All of the morning radio DJs are Tesla
robots. You can't
tell people that. You can't tell people that.
You can't tell people that.
There's a genuine friendship
and I think you can hear it.
Keep your text giving a 9696.
Ow, my feelings.
I think this Tesla robot's
malfunctioning. He needs a reboot.
We're talking about your industry secrets.
I'm loving this.
We're getting a little insight.
Yeah, peek behind the curtain.
Yeah.
No wonder not that many people want to call.
Pulling the lid on some of these.
No wine is technically vegan.
The amount of things that get caught up in the machine harvester
and sent through with the grapes will disgust most people.
From a wine industry.
What, like?
Birds.
Eggs.
If a bird's got a nest in there and that machine's going along
being like, rattle, rattle, bang, rattle, bang, rattle, bang,
collecting all the grapes.
I knew it.
And then this and the vines is going in there.
That Chardonnay we had tasted like pigeon.
Yeah, there was a little bit of a pigeon taste.
And they laughed at us.
I didn't know the wine tasting when she was like,
and what can you, what notes? And we were like, pigeon. We were like, yeah, oaky, buttery because it was a little bit of a pigeon taste. And they laughed at us. Notes of passion fruit. I didn't know the wine tasting when she was like, and what notes?
And we were like, pigeon.
We were like, yeah, oaky, buttery
because it was a shard.
Strawberries.
And a bit of pigeon.
You picked it, Vaughan.
Yeah.
She was like, don't be ridiculous.
It's vegan.
And we were like, okay,
well, we must be wrong.
Yeah, we must be wrong.
What else tastes like a pigeon?
Turns out we were right.
Yeah.
Somebody said,
a lot of food produced in New Zealand
Is exactly the same regardless of what brand
Wraps it
Oh yeah yeah yeah
So like your budget brands are the same as your expensive brands
If they're made here they're just in the same factory
Everything's the same just a different bag
We've talked about this
It's like our friend Matt will only buy the posh milk
And I'm like it's the same milk
It's the same cow.
Just the one bottle looks nicer
in the fridge. It comes from
Calstifer Walken and when they take the milk he goes
ow.
My teeth.
Call back. I'm a career driver
and all careers know what discreet
packaging from online to adult funds
stores look like. It is global
enterprises.
Thank you. That is
a car parts company.
They know. There are a bunch of
life-saving procedures that your doctor will have never
done slash may have done
on one real person because they're
super rare and would have to be done immediately
if needed. Wow.
If you're on the surgical table, something goes wrong,
they're like, right, gotta go back to medical school
in the brain. First time, first time.
Years ago, and I don't know if this
is still a thing, if your dog went home from
the groomers with a green bow, it meant
it was a very naughty dog.
Sometimes I put a little
in your dog's hair or around
the collar. 25 years
ago when I was a beauty therapist,
we'd recycle the hot wax.
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.
Yuck.
These pots were made so clearly germs weren't a problem back then.
Yeah, no, that's not right.
This is not great to know. I don't want to say it. Yeah, no, that's not right.
This is not great to know.
I don't want to say it.
They've said that it's not great to know.
But if a pet is put to sleep, they go in a freezer until they can get picked up to be cremated.
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.
And then just chuck to the bin.
I reckon they should put them in a maggot bucket
and put that in with the chickens.
Vaughan.
Yeah.
That is reuse,
reduce,
recycle.
Yeah.
With pets.
Yuck.
I'm not going to say where you work.
You are safe.
But I've heard of this store.
Some of our things are from Timu.
And we just put our sticker on them.
Really?
I have purchased from this store before.
Have you?
It has a high reputation.
Yeah.
Really?
Some of our linen line is the same amount of linen mix as Kmart.
Wow.
Because Kmart does like a linen blend now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this place here that claims to be posh. You know, your fine flax Kmart. Wow. Because Kmart does like a linen blend now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this place here that claims to be posh,
you know, your fine flax linens.
Yeah.
Kmart.
Kmart standard.
Wow, okay.
Just go to Kmart.
Building industry project manager here.
It depends what council building inspector you get
if you want to pass your inspection.
If the inspector's in a bad mood,
they'll find something to fail you on.
So always be nice to your inspector.
Yes.
Until it's all done. Yes. That's why
I took my council inspector out for a fine
dining meal. Yes.
That's why I kissed my council inspector on the lips.
You look around the house, babes.
He's like, can you please
stop doing that? I think that's why we still haven't
passed.
I counted 79 all rights
today. Fletcher, but that's a new personal record. Oh, f*** off. How many of those did you count? 79 all rights today. Fletch, I believe that's a new personal record.
Oh, f*** off.
How many of those did you count?
79 of those too.
All right.
Well, if you enjoyed today's podcast, give us a rate and review.
