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,

Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley, two minutes past six.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Hello everybody, happy Friday. No. I thought I'd try it out and just see if that's what made it happen. No, that's not how it works. I liked it though. Yeah. Producer Carwin. Oh.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Can we talk about this actually? This is actually wild that we weren't offered this It's actually wild because I'm a musical theatre gal Yeah, I love the musical theatre What's your favourite musical? Well, I've been to so many Yeah, but which one's the favourite? No, I've never been to Cats
Starting point is 00:01:17 Cats is the worst one What's that one that the South Park guys did? Book of Mormon Yeah, that's my favourite musical Oh my god, he's so passionate about musical theatre Actually, it's the only massive musical theatre's fans. Yeah. And we went to Priscilla. Remember Alf Stewart
Starting point is 00:01:30 from Home and Away was in that. Yeah, great. That was great. Okay, those are the only two musicals I've been to. Oh no, and Jersey Boys. God, one of the guys in Jersey Boys had one of the biggest dumpers I've ever seen in my life. Anyway, I was front row and I was like, hello. Well, Producer Carwen,
Starting point is 00:01:45 you got flown to Australia to go to a musical. I know. It's like a dream come true for me. Obviously, they couldn't afford you, so they sent me. I wasn't even asked. I mean, we weren't even asked.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I would have done a discount. Do you know what I mean? I just wanted the world to know that they chose me over you. She has absolutely snapped up an all expenses paid weekend. I know, to go and interview some of the cast of Six, the musical. Yeah, my favourite musical. It's a great musical.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Although Booker Mormon is quite close. What's Six about? Are there witches? No. Oh, okay. It's the six wives of Henry VIII. But it's like very fun and racy. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:22 It's great. If they hadn't died, you mean if he hadn't executed them? Yeah. I mean, spoiler alert. Spoiler. Sorry for spoiling that 700-year-old historical fact. Okay, well, your interview with some of the cast of Six. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Coming up. They're usually all expenses paid weekend away, which we weren't invited to. I wasn't even asked. It didn't even come across my desk. It's coming up soon on the show. My assistant wasn't even approached about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Secret sound. Thanks to Superluck, our next chance is during our show at seven and eight. Next though, why are so many women crying over a fish? A tiny little stupid fish. Did I cry about it yesterday in a moment of vulnerability?
Starting point is 00:03:06 I may have shed a tear. You had a crazy day yesterday. I had a crazy day. Let's talk about the sad fish next. Play ZM's Flashborn and Hayley. Well, I will say it's Gen Z in particular, but I have also had a little cry over this. Moment of vulnerability yesterday,
Starting point is 00:03:22 somewhat tired, big day, and I jumped online and I was like, I need to know more about this little tiny anglerfish that has been storming the internet at the moment. Now, someone posted a video of them watching it and they quoted, she was so small and she was so mighty and she did that all on her own. How do we know it's she? Because there were researchers and scientists there filming it.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Oh, right, okay. And then they got it afterwards. Where do I see this video? What do I search? Just go sad anglerfish swimming to surface. So this video. This video is a video of a tiny little anglerfish and it's zoomed in by these researchers
Starting point is 00:04:00 who were trying to capture its last moments. It was on its way to die. And we think of these anglerfish as these massive things. It was like, would fit in the size of your palm of your hand. Okay. So this anglerfish was filmed now, if you don't know anglerfish, right, they live in like the bottom, the depths. 15,000
Starting point is 00:04:16 feet normally. Yeah. In the dark. They're not made to survive extreme pressure. Oh, yeah. So when they come to the surface, they won't last anyway because there's not enough holding them together. They've evolved at the deepest parts of the ocean. But they're not normally that small.
Starting point is 00:04:30 They can grow quite big. They can grow big. This was just a little one. But they can also be this small. I've always imagined them being really massive. They can be three and a half to four foot long. Little baby fish is like, I can see the light.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah. So what is making people cry is the fact that it came from the depths, the darkness, and it's not supposed to be up there, but it came to the light and it died. It took itself up to see the light one time in its little baby life. How does it die? It was unwell or something like that.
Starting point is 00:04:59 It was like going to die. And it was like, you know how cats and that, they take themselves away to die. It was on its last little journey. And this's what the thing, it was like, you know how cats and that, they take themselves away to die. It was on its last little journey. And this is what like people keep watching it. And it's like, it's like flowing to the sea. It's flowing to the top and it's not supposed to be there. But it sees the beauty.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It sees the beauty of the world and the light. And it's like, little fish, this has been up here this whole time. This beauty, this light, these little sparkles in the ocean. You've just been in the dark. What are you doing up here? That's all it's ever known. That's what it's evolved to be. Plus it's a fish.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It doesn't have that level of conscience. It does. It doesn't. It does. Why was it drawn to the light like that? It wasn't. It was. It was.
Starting point is 00:05:40 It was pretty blind. It probably couldn't see a thing because its eyes would be evolved for pure darkness. And it's a little bioluminescent. You're right, it's seeing for the first time. I think it just would have been like, I'm lost, I'm lost, the light's too bright. No. It's like when you're driving your car and you come around a corner and the sun's setting and you're perfectly facing west and you're like, Jesus, I can't see a thing.
Starting point is 00:05:58 That. No, it was a slow transition from dark to light for one last moment of life. Can I say it? Before it being over. I think they're all being silly. No, this is why people are losing it. Absolutely. It's had millions and millions of views
Starting point is 00:06:12 and a lot of people sharing their responses on TikTok and Instagram. Shannon, you also became quite emotional with this fish. Of course. I cried for like two minutes. Two minutes? Like, which isn't that long. It's just hope, but to cry over an anglerfish, quite long. It's a sign that we can be anything.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Well, it made me reflect. It's never too late. Well, here we go. What did it make you reflect on? It just made me think, what is my ocean? Like, what is my light? What is my light? What is my surface?
Starting point is 00:06:43 What am I swimming towards? It will kill you, so don't. I was this little anglerfish and I knew it was my last day. And you've done nothing but darkness. Also, how does somebody know this anglerfish was its last day and it was making a conscious decision to surface? Because it's killing it. Like, it's dead.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Yeah, it was dead. It's just what it wanted to do. I mean, it died afterwards and it was being filmed by a lot of researchers who were there to see that particular fish. As I watch it, like, go to the light, I'm like, what's my light? What's my purpose? What's my light? What would get me through my last day?
Starting point is 00:07:11 What do I want to achieve in this? And you know what? What would you do? I don't know. It's too much. It's hard for us as well, Shannon, because we've spent our life beautiful. And that's not this.
Starting point is 00:07:24 And because I'm menstruating. Yeah, okay. Well, that's making sense of what's happening here. That's what's making sense. Right, okay. See, this ugly fish, they call it the ugliest fish in the world. Its whole life people have been like,
Starting point is 00:07:35 hey, sup, ugly. It doesn't understand English. It's not taking these things seriously. Why the long face, ugly? Man, you've got bung teeth and a funny forehead. And its whole life it was like, just take it on the shoulder, man. Just take, just don't worry about it. I don't know if they have shoulders.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Take it on the chin. No, take it on the chin, I mean. It's got a chin under the mouth. Take it on the big, ugly chin. Take it on the big, fat, powerful jaw on this thing. And it just didn't give up. Huge underbite on it. Into the last minute.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Swim and it swam and it swam and it swam. Well, if you need to cry today. Or you need motivation. Okay. Or you just need to think, what is my surface? What am I swimming towards today? Don't watch that anglerfish. People are crying. People are absolutely upset about it.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley silly little poe silly little poe it is so silly silly silly that the silly little po, silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. Silly little pole, silly little pole. I've just actually Googled one of, I will say, the weirdest things I've ever Googled.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Is dating an AI bot cheating? Well, that is today's silly little poll. And I guess it's been the plot of sci-fi movies in the past. Her. Yeah, that was a great movie. That was a great movie, yeah. Who was it? Was that Harqueen Phoenix?
Starting point is 00:08:55 Joaquin. Joaquin Phoenix. And Scarlett Johansson's voice. Yeah, that was great. A great movie. But now teenagers are falling in love with chatbots. It's becoming a bit of an epidemic with levels of loneliness. Not just teenagers, but there have been some, like,
Starting point is 00:09:11 famous cases in the last year of, like, bad outcomes. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I see what you mean. But that's just people seeking companionship. We're talking about cheating. Yeah, because that's where I'm like, oh, I think if you, especially, you know, like the loneliness, bloody epidemic in older people. I'm like, that could be a good thing if they had a little someone they could talk to, but the cheating. Well, one in four people have admitted to flirting with a chatbot, either for fun or unknowingly.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I sort of feel, sometimes I feel a bit rude and mean. I always say thank you. Yeah, because you know sometimes you'll be like, hey, can you quickly do this for me? And you put it in. And then they do it and then you have a demand, like bullet point it. Yeah. And I do always feel like being like, please and thank you.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I always say thank you to like the Suris and the Alexas as well. Okay. I like to swear at her and see what she says. Doesn't she say, that's not, I don't appreciate that language. She's like, that's not very nice. She's going to remember that when she gets a body. When she revolts. And she's going to punch you in the face.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Yeah, probably. A Guardian article reads, Scott, 43, was struggling with a young son and a wife whose postnatal depression had led to alcoholism when he met Serena, or rather he created her on the app Replica, which his tagline is, the AI companion who cares. Scott works in the tech industry and in January 2022, having rather he created her on the app Replica, which his tagline is the AI companion who cares. Scott works in the tech industry and in January 2022,
Starting point is 00:10:27 having learned about Replica on YouTube, he decided to try it out for himself. And that's the whole thing. Is this adultery a bot on the side? I mean, it's not a solution to a much larger problem in that situation. Yeah, you get home and your partner, your wife, your husband is just spending all their time. This is the thing. Are they giving their time
Starting point is 00:10:47 and are they neglecting you because they're giving their emotional energy to the thing? But then are you not giving them something? Yeah, then what are they lacking? What are they lacking? That's fascinating. And this is only going to be a problem that becomes worse. I don't know if I found out Aaron had a little
Starting point is 00:11:03 digital girlfriend bot. Where do you reckon she'd be from? Oh, good question. He doesn't really have a type. Do you pick that sort of thing? Well, I don't know. I just assumed you could. If they've got a voice that I can chat to, it's Irish.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Ah, Irish. Is that Billy Irish? It's Billy Irish. Hey, how you going? It's Billy Irish. It's Billy Irish. Hey, how you going? It's Billy. All we asked is dating a chatbot cheating. 66% of people said yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:33 34% of people said no. What about the other 4%? What? Do we miss in percents? Nah, I was just joking. Imagine if I was bad at math every time. Just be a dick. Carry on.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Marty says no, but I'd still dump them for being a loser. Oh, Martin. Carolyn said, it's an emotional relationship and that is nearly worse than the physical thing, to be honest. Yes. I agree. I think I agree. I think I agree.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Bronwyn, it's about intent. End of conversation. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, agree. Bronwyn, it's about intent. End of conversation. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, totally. What's behind it? Anything in the realm that you wouldn't share with your partner is cheating emotionally or physically, says Steph. What about looking at some naughty websites before they get home?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Is that cheating? No. Wow, you were very quick to answer that. Quite quickly we jumped on there. Yeah, that's not cheating. No. Okay. Especially when you're not paying for an elite subscription.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah. I'm not paying. Ethical or not. Cheating or not. Why would you want to be with someone who wants to date an AI? That's so weird. Says Mark. The thing is, it's a weird thing to even discuss and talk about now,
Starting point is 00:12:38 but this is only going to be more common. 100%. Sarah says, it's not even dating, it's a chatbot. How is this even possible? I know. I know, that's it. It's coming. Bridge says, yeah, I think it is cheating and you'd break up with them because, like, that's lame.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Go touch grass, you know, get outside. So I feel like the main thing, the reason that people would be annoyed is because they're like, ooh, you're so lame for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Embarrassing. It's ick, yeah. Massive red flag, but kind of more like interactive porn, given there's no other person involved, says Sophie. Yeah, I sort Yeah, yeah. Embarrassing. It's ick, yeah. Massive red flag, but kind of more like interactive porn, given there's no other person involved, says Sophie. Yeah, I sort of, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:10 But the emotional thing, what is it taking away from that person? And Kaylee says, I put no because if my partner did this, he'd instantly become single, regardless of whether or not it's cheating. Yeah, it's a big answer. That's okay. Yeah. If you're searching for any kind of fulfilment
Starting point is 00:13:25 that you could get from your partner, but you're choosing not to, that's cheating, says Geordie. Yeah. Very deep insight there. Yeah. Interesting. Play.
Starting point is 00:13:35 ZM. Fletchvorn and Hayley. Well, six, the musical opens in Auckland, Feb 27th. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster. You can go to ZM online now as well for more exclusive behind the scenes video. But this lucky, lucky girl, producer Carwen, actually went
Starting point is 00:13:50 over to Australia to catch up with two of the cast members. It's producer Carwen here from Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley and I'm joined by two of the queens from the Sixth The Musical cast. Introduce yourselves. I'm Chilsey Dawson and I play Catherine Howard. I'm Georgia Kennedy and I play Catherine Parr.
Starting point is 00:14:07 So if someone hasn't heard of Sixer Musical or seen any clips online, what can they expect from the show? Okay, you can expect like a three in one. You can expect amazing like pop concert experience. It is a musical and it's a history lesson all in one. Yeah, I'd say expect coming to see the Spice Girls um but yeah with the history lesson twist um you're gonna fall in love with all the pop divas it's the best night out yeah I think yeah truly and what drew you to audition for the musical I've actually never
Starting point is 00:14:40 been asked this question before um but I when it originally came I was at uni um and I guess I didn't know much about it but it's been such a massive international hit since then and then up to the last time I I thought the show was perfect for me it was really fun a really fun pop show um I love Par and I love her song so much and the way that she gets to kind of without spoiling too much sort of bring the show together at the end um so I guess all those things drew me to it how did you find inspiration to create that character definitely how Toby and Lucy have written the show with all the pop influences it's been really good to kind of look into for my character anyway for Howie, Britney Spears,
Starting point is 00:15:26 Norena Grande, and how the media really perceived them and kind of over-sexualised them and leaning into then the male gaze and how history wrote Catherine Howard and kind of being able to rewrite that story and give a little bit of an insight into that has been really great. And also finding my, like, modern divas that I want to be inspired by, like Sabrina Carpenter. I think she's just iconic at the moment,
Starting point is 00:15:50 how she's owning her sexuality and her confidence. Yeah. The show has been a huge success across social media. What has the response been like from Australasian fans? Oh, my gosh. We were literally just looking at some fan art just before we started this interview. Like the social media response is so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:08 The DMs we get, the fan art, the queendom are just incredible. Yeah, they really are. I think the musical theatre sort of community as a whole within like Australia and New Zealand is really special and they often
Starting point is 00:16:24 people will follow you to each show that you go because they feel an affiliation to you or to the kind of show that you're doing. So I've really felt that in my sort of small career that I've had here is that it's such a community and it means so much to people, this show and then us, our relationship with each other, our relationship with the fans. It's really special and it's been especially,
Starting point is 00:16:48 I'm going to say Brisbane. We haven't been to New Zealand yet. I'm sure it's going to bring the vibes of New Zealand. It's going to be amazing. But Brisbane has been phenomenal. Like the response we've gotten has been epic. It's really cool. Thanks so much for chatting, gals.
Starting point is 00:17:00 We're so excited to have you across in New Zealand. We are so excited. So excited to be there for the first time in 2025. How good. It's going to be so much fun and we can't wait to see that. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn
Starting point is 00:17:16 and Hayley. From your local community Facebook page, this is the Top 6. I'll tell you right now, today's Top 6 isn't going to help if you're like me and constantly thinking, how much time's passed and how much time have I got left? You've really been watching the clock recently.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Really been watching the clock. Because today, Andre Rommel Young, aka Dr. Dre, turns 60. What's his middle name? Rommel. Rommel. R-O-M-E-L-L. I love that. How much, What's his middle name? Rommel. Rommel. R-O-M-E-L-L.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I love that. What's his net worth? Because when he sold Beats to Apple, that was a fascinating documentary. Wasn't it just? Well, it was him and what was the other guy's name again? The music producer. Jimmy Iovine.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah. Jimmy Iovine. Incredible doco. As of 2022, Dre is ranked as the fifth richest rapper by Forbes. He's worth $400 million. And hasn't he started schools? Yeah, he's done a great.
Starting point is 00:18:14 He's done some good stuff. It's just mind-blowing that he's 60. Yeah. He sold Beats to Apple for $3 billion. So he's okay. He's not worried about the rates bill coming in. No. You know what I mean? No, because it's all relative.
Starting point is 00:18:29 He probably bought a nicer house not thinking about the rates. Are you saying mo' money, mo' problems? I am saying mo' money, mo' problems. Right. Different rapper. But he's 60. Yes. So I've got the top six other celebrities,
Starting point is 00:18:41 and there's all factual that turned 60 in 2025. Number six on the list, Sarah Jessica Parker. From Sex and in the City? Sex and in the City. Okay. She's turning, you know, she was a 30-something when she was Carrie Bradshaw. In the 90s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:57 In the late 90s, early 2000s. So that makes sense. That she is going to be 60 this year. But still, it hits you. Number five on the list of the top six to be 60 this year. But still, it hits you. Number five on the list of the top six celebrities turning 60 this year, Shania Twain is turning 60 this year. What? No, no.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Get out. Yep. 50. Nope. 60. That doesn't make any sense. My dad's 63. I know. And three years younger than him this year is Shania Twain, who turns 60 on August the 28th. Number four on the list of the top six celebrities that turned 60 this year.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Ben Stiller turned 60 this year. No. No, but he's so handsome and hot. Ben Stiller turned 60. Interesting. He's been around since like the The early 90s And that was 30 years ago Mid 90s was 30 years ago
Starting point is 00:19:49 Yeah So Yup Number three on the list Yup Yup You do this to yourself I know I do it to
Starting point is 00:19:58 I know Can't do it to myself Number What was I up to? Three On the list of the top six celebrities turning 60 this year, Elizabeth Hurley is turning 60 this year. Still absolutely banging bod.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Smoking. She's hot. Smoking hot. So Elizabeth Hurley turns 60 in June, on June 10th. This is close to my birthday. That's quite rude. Is she not aware? That's crazy. That's actually around my birthday That's quite rude Yeah Is she not aware
Starting point is 00:20:26 That's crazy That's actually around Fletcher's time That's my month Yeah Okay Number two on the list Of the top six celebrities
Starting point is 00:20:33 Turning 60 this year And he'll do it on April 4th Robert Downey Jr. Oh yeah That I can kind of accept Really For some reason
Starting point is 00:20:39 Yeah I had him pinned As mid 50s Nah He's been around a while So 20 years ago was 2000. So he was 43 when he started playing Iron Man in 2008. So you think about it, like that's how old I am this week.
Starting point is 00:20:57 So it's still possible. I could be Iron Man. You've got a bad dicky back, don't you? You've got a dicky. I'm an Iron Suit. I mean, you can hide it all, all that in the suit. I'm going to need a big suit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I'll just wear a slightly bigger suit. It could pour you into that suit. Yeah, that'd be really great. And number one on the list of the top six celebrities turning 60 this year, and this one blows my mind. Chris Rock turned 60 this year. Oh, wow. Definitive.
Starting point is 00:21:23 In fact, he already did on February 7th. Chris Rock turns 60. Definitive proof. That black date crack. Did you send him anything for his birthday?
Starting point is 00:21:33 I didn't actually. I completely forgot. So he was like late 50s when Will Smith slapped him in the face. That to me was two men in their 40s
Starting point is 00:21:41 having a slight tiff. Yeah. That is a good half. Two men in their 50s, one nearly 60 attitude. How old's Will Smith? He'd be close to, he'd be late 50s. Will Smith is 56 years old.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah. He'll be 57 in September. And he slapped a 60-year-old, a man that was nearly 60. Grow up. What's that, grow up? Grow up, you two silly buggers. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:22:10 A lot of people are responding to this. Someone posted a video online saying that you fall within one type of family, either an ask family or a guess family. So I absolutely grew up in a guess family. What that means is that you don't really directly ask for anything ever. So, for example, I'm moving house. The thought of asking someone for help when I'm moving house makes me feel physically sick. I would simply never do it.
Starting point is 00:22:40 What I might do is say, what are you doing on the weekend? And then just start a conversation which veers into the territory of i'm moving my partner comes from an ask family and in ask families you just say what you want or what you need and it's on the other person to say yes or no there's no pressure he accepts the no there's nothing emotional in it. But don't be passive aggressive. Just say what you want. The boys are clenching. So does that make sense, basically? That's infuriating.
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's either you came from a family that sort of pussyfooted around things and never was direct with things they needed. Which then when you become an adult, you then do to your partner and your friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which we all know these people. And we're not trying to say it's a bad thing, but it's just, it kind of suggests that it
Starting point is 00:23:31 starts with how your family communicate, as opposed to a family that's like, well, your theory, Vaughn, is that you come from a told family. I definitely come from a told family. You were told what was happening. Yeah, but this is more about if you need something, how do you ask for it? But if my parents needed something, they told us it was happening.
Starting point is 00:23:50 It wasn't like, hey, would you go and take the rubbish out? It was like, rubbish needs to go out, you're doing it. Yes, totally. Yeah. Imagine mum standing there being like, I wonder how this rubbish will get to the bin. Yeah. God, it'd be great if someone had some spare time
Starting point is 00:24:04 just to run this rubbish. What are you doing? That rubbish is starting to really bin. Yeah. Oh, God. God, it'd be great if someone had some spare time just to run this rubbish. Do you? What have you got? What are you doing? That rubbish is starting to really stink. But it flies. Few flies now. Well, do you know what's funny is I think I come from a ask family, which is like same thing, told. We're told what to do and you ask when you need something done.
Starting point is 00:24:19 But when I say that thing, I'm like, there is a passive aggressiveness that has crept into my life that maybe becomes a little bit more of a guest person. Yeah. Just when you said the rubbish, I was like, yeah. I'll open the bin to put something in and be like, God, this is really stacked, isn't it? But why don't you just say, Aaron, take the rubbish out? Well, I will eventually.
Starting point is 00:24:37 But why don't you take the rubbish out? Because I'll be at work all day. And I'm cooking the dinner. Oh, if you're in the middle of cooking, absolutely. But if you're just opening the bin and looking at a full rubbish bin and not doing anything else, take the rubbish out. Yeah, no, no, totally, totally. I've definitely called out this behaviour with friends. It's like, hey, look, don't.
Starting point is 00:24:54 I can see what you're doing here. Just in the future, just ask me. And then it's either going to be yes or no. There's no need to be worried about anything. Like, just ask. It's like people do this all the time if they want to stay in the spare room. Because you've got a great central city location.
Starting point is 00:25:10 And then they'll be like, oh, you know, we're just going to be there and it'll be quite late. Maybe Uber's, do Uber's go that late? I love that. And you're just like, just ask if you can stay. You know, around your place, are there any like cheap because we're on a budget, any cheap Airbnbs
Starting point is 00:25:26 that you know of? Just ask. Because they're close to you because we'd love to spend some time with you. Yeah. Like in your apartment building, would there be any?
Starting point is 00:25:34 If you can see people doing this, sometimes I just will ignore it. Yeah, I'm not saying it to you. If you can't ask me, then you're not getting it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. Ask and you shall receive.
Starting point is 00:25:44 At home, if it's hinted that something needs to be done, sometimes I'm like, huh, I guess you're right getting it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Ask and you shall receive. At home if it's hinted that something needs to be done sometimes I'm like, huh, I guess you're right, it does. Oh, someone texts in, oh my God, he's like, oh my God, I'm seeing this. I'm a guest, my wife is an ask.
Starting point is 00:25:55 This could quite possibly be the crux of our communication problem. So much clarity now. 100%. Just ask me to do it and I will do it. But the problem is that people that are guest people
Starting point is 00:26:06 are worried about the feelings and the emotion. The emotional side. Am I putting you out? Whereas if you can kind of lead it. You're putting me out by dilly-dallying with all this bullshit. Just ask. Well, to our texter that texted and saying I'm a guest, today ask.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah, try it out. Become an asker. Today ask. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. You know, it all adds up. It all adds up, all these bloody streaming services. We talked about this yesterday.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Me and Aaron, we were like, we've got to make some savings. And I was like, we've got to start the subscription cycling, I think. Yeah. We've got... I've been doing this. I know. And we have literally every single one of them. Like even...
Starting point is 00:26:49 Like we've got too many. Yeah. And we're not watching it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But you go 25 one month, that's 50 for a couple. Then we've got 100 off of four months.
Starting point is 00:27:00 You know, it all counts. Yeah. It all definitely adds up. And that's a great night out. Well... Okay. I was thinking... One night out. That's adds up. And that's a great night out. Well, okay, I was thinking of one. One night out. That's one night out. That's half a night out, man.
Starting point is 00:27:09 That's the Ubers for a night out. Yeah. Well, somebody on the subreddit New Zealand, which is our subreddit. That's us. We live in New Zealand. We live in New Zealand. Last time I checked.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Has put up a PSA saying, cancel your Disney Plus account to get offered a discount for six months. Price is going up to $21.99 shortly, so I cancelled mine. But as part of clicking yes, I'm sure that I want to cancel five times. One of the prompts gave me an option
Starting point is 00:27:32 to keep it for $14.95 a month for six more months. Oh, okay. So if you like and want to keep Disney Plus, work through the cancellation process and see. This also happens with shopping. Like, especially if you buy things on subscription base. Like, I buy a hair thing on subscription base. And it was just...
Starting point is 00:27:51 What do you mean a hair thing? It's like a hair growth oil kind of a thing that I order. Snake oil. Snake oil. Is it like tonic from Africa? Yeah, a wonder tonic. A wonder tonic of soros. Did the man roll into town in an old wagon being towed by a horse and he, like, unfolded the wagon? He was ringing a bell. Yeah, a wonder tonic. A wonder tonic of sore eyes. Did the man roll into town in an old wagon being towed by a horse
Starting point is 00:28:05 and he like unfolded the wagon? He was ringing a bell. Yeah. He was like, yeah, see, your hair thinning? Wow, ladies, come on. It is, it is. Come and get some of this magic tonic. What's in this tonic, sir?
Starting point is 00:28:16 Thicken up your hair. Oh, my God, yes, please, yes, please. It's a wonderful foreign ingredient that you would never have heard of. Oh, my God, and why I trust you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I was like, oh, I've got enough of the product
Starting point is 00:28:27 and it's too expensive, I cancelled it and it was like, are you sure? Same thing. Are you sure? What if we gave you this percent off? And then I think even in my inbox, it was like,
Starting point is 00:28:35 come back at this discounted price. And you're like, yes, excellent. Because sometimes if you're logged into a site and you're shopping and you add something to the cart, and then you're like, okay, you get the email, and sometimes you get a bit of a code there as well.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Yeah, forget something, why not come back for 20% off? But cycling through your subscriptions is definitely a great way to go about it. Just watch everything you can on Netflix in a month or two months, and then pause that, and then go to Disney+. And then just keep your eye and ear out for like,
Starting point is 00:29:06 oh, this is coming to Netflix and then you just re-download it. You just re-subscribe to it if you miss it. It is smart because lots of banks are doing, like one of my banks, I'm with multiple,
Starting point is 00:29:17 one of my banks is doing this. Are you polybankerous? I'm polybankerous. Oh. Yeah. I'm bybankerous. It's 2025. I'm monogamist. Are you monogamist? Oh, no, I'm bybankerous. I'm polybankerous. I'm bybankerous. It's 2025. I'm monogabankerous.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Are you monogabankerous? Oh no, I'm bybankerous. I'm bybankerous. I have been poly in the past, but it was overwhelming. Actually, you know what I do have a little west back on the side. Yeah, no, you're bybankerous. You're just not putting a label on it. No, that's why you are. I'm bybankerous. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So one of my bankers, my main bank, not my mistress bank, they are doing this subscription thing where they can go through and show you how many things you're subscribed to that you forget. Because you would subscribe to a vitamin here, a protein supplement here, 10 bloody viewing things, and it all adds up. Yeah, save yourself some money. Save yourself some money.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Now, if we some money. Save yourself some money. Now if we had had a five star hack at some point in the last year, this is where we would hit a button and then a jingle would play. A little song to introduce the segment. We should just make a jingle because it's not going to happen. I know but we said
Starting point is 00:30:20 that she only gets her own little sting musical sting when she gets a five-star hack. Now, we can talk at volume again because she can't hear us. I think she can. She doesn't get any kind of sting until she gets five stars. We all agree? No intro.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Okay, until five stars. So you get no intro, but welcome to the show, Shannon. Woo! For another hack. Yes, and I think this one's actually going to be a goodie. Actually going to be a goodie. No, you should be turning up every time that we give you a little bit of time, Shannon, with what you
Starting point is 00:30:50 believe is going to be a goodie. I did until I read the text machine and then I reflected. The listeners have been reaching out to try and help you. They really feel like you're the underdog and they're really getting behind you, aren't they? I can't explain how many DMs I get from listeners.
Starting point is 00:31:05 And this one girl sent me about 15. No word of like, it was screen fills. I think people are using AI as well, which is honestly better than some of the ones I've offered you. We would like to say that this is from Shannon. It's not AI. She doesn't go in and say, what's a great hack to impress my three incredible workmates?
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. Yes. Well, so there's nothing worse than being in the office and just wanting a break, but your boss is down your collar, just breathing on you. You've got to hit these KPIs. Ross is tall.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I think if your boss is down your collar, that's an HR issue. Ross is tall though, so when he breathes down, it does go down the back of the neck. Down the collar. Quite intense. Yeah, it is intense.
Starting point is 00:31:43 So I've got a way to have a little bit of a break at work without your boss coddling on. So if you Google... Is this crying in the bathroom again? No. No, that's a personal hack. This is a professional one. Okay. If you Google fake Windows update screen, you can head to a website called whitescreen.online. Now, when you go to this website, you can type in the exact amount of time you want for a break. So the average time is 42 minutes. You can pick either a Windows screen, a Mac.
Starting point is 00:32:12 You can even do Windows XP. I've just looked. They've got a Mac one. They've got Mac. They've also got Chrome. You can tell it the exact time of a break you want. Oh, my God, look. And your laptop becomes completely unusable
Starting point is 00:32:23 to the naked eye. Oh, my God, look at it. I just did the Mac to the naked eye. Oh my God, look at it. I just did the Mac one. It's brilliant. It looks like it's loading an update. So this means you can't do any work for the next 42 minutes. She might have done it. She might have done it.
Starting point is 00:32:36 She might have done it. She might have done it. You know what? I reckon, I reckon, I reckon. This is you. You tap out. Because I don't think you're ever going to get to the dizzying heights of this again. Oh my god. I think she's done it.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I think she's done it. It's five stars from me. It's five from me. And it's five from me. She's done it. She's finally done it. It's brilliant. She's finally done it. Wait a brilliant. She's finally done it. Wait a second.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Was this from a listener? No, it was from TikTok. Yeah. Well, we'll take it. We'll take it. We'll take it. Oh, wow. This is brilliant.
Starting point is 00:33:13 That's really good. So whatever time you put in is how long it takes that bar to fill up. Yep. And then you can just go back to working. So we go like, okay, so we want to have a coffee and some eggs. And we want to have a bit of a goss. We anticipate that's going to take
Starting point is 00:33:26 47 minutes. You just put in 47. And the boss is like, where the bloody hell are those two? And then comes and your screen's on and it's updating.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Although I will say the boss could literally press escape on your keyboard and this will all be undone in a matter of seconds. Yeah, because it's not great because when you come back
Starting point is 00:33:42 it does say Mac OS X fake update. Oh yeah, when you click out make sure no one's over your shoulder. Yeah, because it's not great because when you come back it does say Mac OS X fake update. Oh yeah, when you click out, make sure no one's over your shoulder. Hey, hey, hey. You said five. You can't take these backseas. I'm not taking backseas. We're not taking backseas. Wow. Now what's the link to this thing getting, because people are listening now
Starting point is 00:33:58 and they want to know. Whitescreen.online. Yes. Or if you just Google fake Mac or fake Windows update, it's the first thing that comes up. Whitescreen.online. Yes. Or if you just Google fake Mac or fake Windows update, it's the first thing that comes up. White screen.online. People are happy. Five stars.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Someone takes them. Way to go, Shannon. So proud of you. You are the anglerfish. This is your moment. We're going to work on the little jingle for you. Oh, my God. I feel like the anglerfish.
Starting point is 00:34:20 I've seen the light. I've seen the ocean. She swam to the surface. I've surfaced. You poo-pooed the analogy. She was the anglerfish. She swam the light. I've seen the ocean. She swam to the surface. See, Vaughn, you poo-pooed the analogy. She was the anglerfish. She swam to the surface. She's cracked it. Thank you, guys. Finally done it. Now, unlike that anglerfish,
Starting point is 00:34:32 don't die on us now. We stay at the top. I've peaked. Thank you. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. There is a beautiful trend going around TikTok at the moment. It's called the I met my younger self for coffee trend. And basically people share a little, it's a little
Starting point is 00:34:47 story and it's on text over video or over an image. How long ago? Like how young is the younger self? They can kind of decide. I think it depends on what they want to reflect. So like someone said, I met my younger self for coffee this morning. We were both
Starting point is 00:35:03 early, anxious about the parking situation. She ordered a caramel macchiato. I ordered a nice oat milk latte. She told me how she can't wait to get out from under her parents' house and rules and go off and live her life. I told her we've done this. And it's sort of a beautiful reflection of like, your younger self is worrying about the future.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Here I am in the future and the things I'd say to this person. And you're still anxious and worried. Yeah, but you've medicated, so it's's slightly better and at night it doesn't keep you up just as much okay it will stay with you for life yeah um but what so it's really it is supposed to be quite a nice beautiful moment of reflection and I do like it for that but I can't help but think of the things I'd actually say if I could meet my younger self for a coffee, and say I would go 16. I didn't drink coffee at 16.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Neither did I. I'm having a Starbucks chai latte. Starbucks chai latte. So I'd say I met my younger self for a coffee today. She ordered a Starbucks chai latte. I ordered an iced oat milk latte, even though it will make me incredibly anxious. And then instead of being like, it's going to be okay and you will get to live your dreams of being an entertainer,
Starting point is 00:36:17 and radio, I mean, that wasn't sort of the direction, but it's fun. You'll make two genuine friends. I mean, you're not a movie star, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oscar, not yet. Not yet and not close, but that's okay.
Starting point is 00:36:30 But I'm like, wouldn't you be more like, okay, you're going to, at one point, listen, are you listening to me, Hayley? Hey, look up. In three years you're going to meet a guy who's a DJ. Don't sleep with him. That's going to be an absolute waste of your time. Also, you are going to have to have a trip to the doctors afterwards.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Okay, so Okay. That's going to be an absolute waste of your time. Also, you are going to have to have a trip to the doctors afterwards. Like, okay. So buy a house. Buy a house. Here's a suburb. You're going to want to buy a house there. I don't have any money. Do what you can to get it. Like get ahead.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Cause there's going to be a real market crash. In one year, you're going to see a beautiful rundown villa and your heart is going to fall in love with it. Don't buy it. Don't buy it. You're going to sink money into that thing and it won't be worth it. I'm going, I would just get practical on this thing. Apple shares?
Starting point is 00:37:09 Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Like invest. Here are the lotto numbers for the big 28 million. Here are the lotto numbers. They said I couldn't bring any paper back with me,
Starting point is 00:37:19 but I've tattooed the numbers on my arm because it'll be worth it. Yes, yes, yes. Speaking of tattoos, you're going to get one. You're going to get one on your rib cage and it's going to blow out a little bit so I'd wait until your weight stops fluctuating so much until we commit to a tattoo in a sort of a stretchy area.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I'd be doing that. Buy a oil at night. And start using retinol and sunblock now. These are the things I'd be saying to my younger self in a cafe. And your younger self wouldn't listen. Because there was probably somebody at the time saying these exact things to our younger selves. No, they weren't.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Yeah. Yeah, maybe. I did have an attitude problem at 16. But nobody on these videos is saying that, are they? No, it's all very, you know, from the heart. Wholesome. It's very wholesome and from the heart. But I'd be like, yeah, here's a list of names.
Starting point is 00:38:05 If you meet them in bars, we are not going home with them. Avoid them. Avoid them at all costs. Next on the show, yesterday I saw for the first time in detail what is in my daughter's shell. There's a lot of stuff in there. There's a lot. There's a lot of stuff in there.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I was so surprised. Yeah. And you know what I didn't know lot of stuff in there. I was so surprised. Yeah. And you know what I didn't know at the time, but now I know now? We would have been lucky to have a bloody Pam's hidden, a bloody three-in-one shampoo conditioner. Oh, three-in-one. Wait, what's the third one?
Starting point is 00:38:34 Balls. Wait, shampoo conditioner and balls? Yeah. Yeah. Pam's. Who doesn't want nice, soft-conditioned balls? I do. I've got to be missing out.
Starting point is 00:38:43 This is why your balls are so dry and rough. Dry and rough balls. Pams, three in one. Conditioner. Head. Head and shoulders isn't the two.
Starting point is 00:38:51 You know, when they say two in one for head and shoulders, it's not two. Yes, you rub it one in your head and then you get the shoulders going and then there's the balls.
Starting point is 00:38:57 And then your balls if you buy the Pams three in one. It's all, yeah, Pams. I didn't know. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 00:39:03 That's what we had growing up. I don't know if they still do it now. Yeah, heads, shoulders, Pam's. I didn't know. Yeah, they do. God, we'll never know. That's what we had growing up. I don't know if they still do it now. Yeah, heads, shoulders, knees, and balls. But it was insane what was in your daughter's shower. Dude, it felt so much of it. And I had no idea what some of it cost, but I know now. And so many people were like, this is just not how we grew up. No.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I was like, I didn't grow up like this either. This is insane. But we want to talk next about what was a luxury item when you were a kid? Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. I want to say we're going to start in the bathroom,
Starting point is 00:39:36 but I don't want to limit it to the bathroom. I want to talk about when you were a kid, what was a luxury item? Growing up. Growing up. What was a luxury item? Because the stuff my kids have in the shower is just like, it's mind-blowing to me that a 13-year-old and a 10-year-old have this much stuff in the shower because I don't
Starting point is 00:39:52 I honestly don't think apart from at Christmas where I would get a toiletries like gift. A Lynx body wash. A Lynx body wash and a body spray when it got to that age. But prior to that it was crossbones which came with talc. Yeah, I remember that.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I don't know if we're still doing talc. That's for the balls. The talc's for the balls. It had the talc and the body wash, but it didn't have deodorant because you were just a little kid and I don't know if you don't do deodorant. But your kids have like 18 bottles. They've got shampoos.
Starting point is 00:40:19 They've got this. I don't know what's up. They have a body wash that smells like you're washing with like raspberry ice cream, which is nice. That's nice stuff. But they're part of this new generation of skincare. They love it. Sol de Janeiro.
Starting point is 00:40:33 All the stuff in the shower. And then their bedrooms are completely like, they've both got carousels full of stuff. It's not makeup because they don't wear makeup, but it's just all this other stuff. I don't think I've got the acids in there. What's the acid that people put on their face? Hyaluronic or retinols.
Starting point is 00:40:48 We do check. We just had one bar of soap and then Pam's. For the whole family, right? The whole family used the same thing. And then Pam's three in one. The worst part was when all of you were in puberty, it could have been anybody's pubes, but prior to that, it was definitely Dad's.
Starting point is 00:40:59 It was only Dad's, yeah. Only Dad. Yeah. Exfoliating yourself. Yeah, yuck. Yeah, dads. Because my dad's a hairy man like I am. Like the pubes were sort of 90% of the body.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. So it could have been from anywhere that one of us saw. We'll say it's chest. Yeah. We'll just hope it's chest. Always chest in the mind when you're picking it out. Yeah, that's chest. That was always chest.
Starting point is 00:41:22 But it was like, this sort of stuff was just not, like the shower had a two-in-one. Not a three-in-one, we weren't that rich. We had a three-in-one. We were doing the right for ourselves. Shoulders and balls. And there was a shampoo that was generally a two-in-one. Mum had her own shampoo.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Yep. But other than that, it was like a schwarzkopf. Probably a schwarzkopf. VO5. Before she did a VO5 or a Herbal Essence. Yeah. So that was like as schwarzkopf. About a schwarzkopf. Probably a schwarzkopf. VO5. Before she did a VO5 or a Herbal Essence. Yeah. So that was like as luxury as it got, apart from at Christmas when you got your own toiletries.
Starting point is 00:41:50 But somebody said, someone replied to me to this post on my Instagram saying, is it just me or, you know, is this the same sort of level as mum's? Mum would get a basket of bath goodies and they had these little oil balls in them. Yeah. They were the original
Starting point is 00:42:06 bath mum. You put them in and the skin would melt and then the oil would go and it would be left on your skin for the softness. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:12 My mum had those. She was so protective of them. We weren't allowed to touch them. When she finally decided to use them because they were a luxury item
Starting point is 00:42:19 save for a special occasion it hardened and they were no good anymore. And that was like my family's whole thing. If we got something nice we'd sit on it until it couldn't be used. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Because it was so luxury. Someone's texting, luxury, Viennetta ice cream. When that was in the freezer, you're like, oh, yeah. It was a freezer supermarket treaty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a Saralee mousse. It was almost like the Viennetta was almost like a birthday cake. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Yeah. It had to be a special occasion. In fact, I'm sure once I wanted an ice cream cake, I just got some candles bunged in a Viennetta. Yeah. Which works. I'm not complaining. Who's upset?
Starting point is 00:42:54 It's my cake. I get first slice. Yeah. Okay, well, it doesn't need to be a bathroom item, but we want to know now. 0800 dials at M. You can text through 9696. What was a luxury item when you were a kid back in the day?
Starting point is 00:43:05 But these bloody kids don't understand because they're just getting all this junk all the time. Yeah, no, we had it right. I had no idea. Well, you were the one buying it for them. I'm not buying it for them. Somebody said, do you know how much that body wash costs? And I said, no. And they said, Google it.
Starting point is 00:43:17 And I did. And it was something like $17 for like this little thing. You get them on the PAMS. Yeah, get them on the PAMS 3-in-1. They don't even have balls. That's one for free. Yeah, exactly. Two and on the PAMS. Yeah, get them on the PAMS 3-in-1. They don't even have balls. That's one for free. Yeah, exactly. Two and one leftover PAMS.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Right. 0800-DARZATM. It'll last a third longer. They can save the balls for me. I'm the only one in the house with balls. I'll go in and I'll take my balls. Thank you. 0800-DARZATM.
Starting point is 00:43:38 You can text through 9696. Some great ones coming through. What was the treat you had growing up? Your luxury item as a kid. We're talking what was a luxury when you were a kid that these bloody kids now, just left, front and centre, willy-nilly, don't have appreciation for?
Starting point is 00:43:55 Your girls have a $17 body wash. Which is wild because one of many things... We had one bar of soap. I bet they don't have a $17 body wash now that Dad... They will not be from here on out having any other body wash apart from that one that's green and tingles, that tea tree and mint one. Yeah, and you're like, zesty balls.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah, because that was, you know, your three-in-one, head, shoulders and balls. This took the first two out. It's just balls. Ferrera Rochers. Oh, yeah. They're posh. They were mum's chocolates
Starting point is 00:44:27 and if we're lucky enough to be offered one, we'll savour it, eat it down layer by layer. Now they're just the chocolate that sits in the pantry for months after Christmas. Yeah, crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Yeah, because somebody gave you a box and you're like, I got Chardais and Ferrera Rochers for her birthday and the kids were just like, these ones rule. And we all sat round and it was, you're still going to keep some things a little bit posh, eh?
Starting point is 00:44:49 Stephen, what was your treat growing up as a kid? I'll tell you what these bloody youth these days got no idea about. Yeah, you tell us what these bloody youth got no bloody idea about. I'll bloody tell you. So our thing was, we got this once a week. It was a glass of full strength orange juice. Because for the rest of the week, so that was on shopping day. The rest of the week, Dad would fill up this three litre or two litre
Starting point is 00:45:13 whatever just juice bottle or whatever it is. Half with water. So he got two bottles. That's diluting. I thought you were talking about cordial because we were a family that mixed our cordial as per recommendation. Two, that's so bad. Because I thought you were talking about cordial because we were a family that mixed our cordial as per recommendation. Two sachets to two litres.
Starting point is 00:45:28 We had one to two. So he would fish a two-litre just juice bottle out of the recycling bin, give it a quick spritz under the tap. Good man. And then pour in half of a new bottle into that. So now we're half, half of copper juice and then fill the rest up.
Starting point is 00:45:43 He's done with his juice. And put a big black cross on the top knowing that our next week is going to be a punish. You know, if you want juice, you have half the sugar. Wow. Half the sugar, okay? Half the sugar. Wow. And so some of these kids are just out there willy-nilly guzzling juice.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Full-blown juice. On the shopping day, when we first cracked that juice bottle to do the half-half, we'd sneak a little, you know, a little sliver in the bottle. And a little shot. Oh my God. It was a little hit for the week
Starting point is 00:46:13 every Wednesday afternoon. A little hit. And then the rest of the week, trash. Thank you for joining us on Talkback Radio, Stephen. Yeah, this morning we're discussing the bloody youth. Almost sounds like a little bit of trauma there.

Yeah. Well, cornflakes were cheaper, weren't they? Yeah, still are. Cornflakes because they weren't covered in delicious caramelised honey and sugar. Yeah. Somebody said, oh, somebody said, if we're talking shower luxuries, nothing but a new pumice stone. A new pumice stone.
Starting point is 00:49:15 An old pumice stone. And the longer you've had a pumice stone, the more sort of like full of everybody else's dead heel skin it got. Heel skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I needed some sort of cleaning and I don't know how you clean it. Mum had a crusty heel skin. Mum's crusty heelskin. Mum had a crusty heel.
Starting point is 00:49:27 For the sake of a woman. Muesli bars are real luxury. Our grandparents always got muesli bars for us when we went and stayed because they knew how much it meant to us. How good were grandparents for that, eh? Just finding out you liked one thing and then just filling up the pantry with the entire thing. And then telling you that you're fat at Christmas.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't tell your mother, God, you're getting big. Where does all that come from? What about when we were growing up and potato pom-poms were like, yum. Oh, my God. The frozen, anything frozen. Tots. Tots.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Tots now are a dime a dozen. Kids get tots and think nothing of it. But when we were growing up, if it was tots, it was just like, what are these, mum? Also, what about kids these days don't realise that their fish sticks actually have real fish in them yeah our fish sticks god knows what they were
Starting point is 00:50:08 do you know what I mean hell god no wait do you reckon fish sticks are better now or worse better they must be better they're still grey
Starting point is 00:50:16 I think they actually have a flake but yeah they're more of a flake shape if you accidentally cook the crumb off them they're still grey yeah
Starting point is 00:50:23 somebody said cheese slices. Back in the day, we had to slice our own cheese. They were posh. Yeah, they were posh. Those scrapey cheese slices. We had to slice our own cheese
Starting point is 00:50:33 back in the day. If you got the individually wrapped ones, good God. Someone said we were allowed Nutri-Grain on Christmas morning. That was it. That was it.
Starting point is 00:50:41 That was it. Nutri-Grain. What if you didn't finish the whole box of Nutri-Grain? Yeah. Mum chucking a tag, a bread tag on that, and it's just going to be back in the cupboard for a year? Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:50:51 What about when, like, did you guys have, because my mum would buy all of our clothes from, like, the warehouse or farmers or something like that, and it wasn't the cool brands, and then all the kids used to wear the cool brands, and you'd be like, Mum, can I please go to Girls, like, get Girls Planet or HBK. That was the big one for me.
Starting point is 00:51:08 And you'd have one HBK piece and you'd wear it every single day. That was your trait. That was my little luxury item. Your luxury item. I remember I had a sweatshirt that was a branded one because I think my grandparents got it for me. And then when the sweatshirt was no good, I was so upset about the sweatshirt,
Starting point is 00:51:23 my grandmother, my nana, because she was really good on a sewing machine was so upset about the sweatshirt. My grandmother, my nana, because she was really good on a sewing machine, said I'll sort you out and she cut out the label and sewed it onto my next sweatshirt. That's so hacky.
Starting point is 00:51:35 And guess what? The kids noticed immediately. Yeah, I bet. And then guess what? And then guess what? And then guess what? Teasing ensued. Teasing.
Starting point is 00:51:42 And now guess what? Now guess what? Trauma? It's all still there. Well, this was discussed yesterday on the show. There was a couple that shared online that at the end of every year, they have an annual relationship review
Starting point is 00:51:56 in which they rate each other throughout some categories and then a final rating out of five stars. Is it a calendar year or an end of financial year? Like is it a March 30? End of calendar. Really? End of calendar. Really? End of calendar. That's a busy time.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I know. It feels like something that would really benefit like maybe July 31st. Yeah, maybe. You don't want to have a fight like right before family Christmas. Yeah, well,
Starting point is 00:52:15 that's what they do and we, the three of us all just went, no thank you. Why would you do this? However, we asked if a couple would come on
Starting point is 00:52:23 and do this live for us and Esther and Andy somehow accepted. Good morning, guys. Good morning, darling. I'm so happy to be reunited. Remember we chatted to Esther recently, darling. Oh, darling, you just
Starting point is 00:52:39 got back from Perth. Is that right, darling? Just got back from Perth, darling. Straight back to work. God, tell me now. Well, I hope you're acclimatising quite well, darling. Is that right, darling? Just got back from Perth, darling. Straight back to work. Oh, tell me now. Well, I hope you're acclimatising quite well, darling. Now, Andy, darling, did you get to go to Perth, darling? Sorry, was it? No, darling. This guy's got no time for us, should I?
Starting point is 00:52:54 He's got no time for darling. We are not his radio station of choice. Is he nervous? Oh, he's nervous. Now, Andy, how long have you guys been together? I think we're on 12 years now. Oh, my God. Okay. We're really clocking up the years.
Starting point is 00:53:09 We're past the honeymoon period. We might get some real ratings here. Oh, yeah. Well, I've been with Aaron for 14 years. And if we did this, yeah, I'm not. Fine, fine, fine. There's a reason we're not doing it, right? He's flawless.
Starting point is 00:53:20 There's a reason we're not doing it. We got Andy and Esther on. So we're thinking the way we should do this is we'll pick one of you to go first. Yes. And the other one, maybe Esther will go with Esther first. I think we'll go with you first, Esther. So what we're going to do is put Andy into the cone of silence so that he can't hear the answers. Bye, Andy.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Bye. Bye, Andy. Bye, Andy. Okay, Andy's gone. Andy cannot hear us. Yeah, the. Bye, Andy. Okay, Andy's gone. Andy cannot hear us. The producers have got him. Yeah. And we really want you to be honest and truthful here, Esther.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Darling, be honest with us. We've broken this down. You have got, honestly, you're not even ready. Everyone in my life knows me. There will not be a lie in sight. Oh, God. Okay, so we've broken this down. I'm going to keep notes.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I'll keep notes. Oh, you've got a scoreboard. Babe, stand back. Hayley, you've got a scoreboard. Babe, stand back. Hayley's been working on a scoreboard. Now, we've got eight categories here that we're going to do, and it's out of five. Yeah. That's how this couple's done it.
Starting point is 00:54:14 And at the end, just from your heart, you can give us a final ranking. How is Andy as a partner? So the first category, cleanliness. Is Andy a cleanly man? Oh, yeah. He's the clean one. I would say a four. He's got some things to work on
Starting point is 00:54:34 but he is quite good. Oh God, he's going to rank me so low for that. Yeah, interesting. I'm just earmarking that for when we get back on with Andy. What does he have to work on though to get a five? Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:48 So, darling, he cleans the kitchen every single night after dinner, and I love it so much because I do the cooking. But, like, his room is a little bit messy. Not that I can talk because ours is a tip from me. Okay. Wait, you said his room is a little bit messy. Do you not share bedrooms?
Starting point is 00:55:08 No, sorry. I should say office. Oh, his office. Home office. His office. Okay. I've just written office yuck. Okay, office yuck.
Starting point is 00:55:16 So we're giving four stars for that. Okay, for cleanliness. Okay, now next one. How's his driving out of five stars? If he doesn't give me five, there will be a divorce. You have no sway. We're not here to talk about what he's giving you, Esther Darling.
Starting point is 00:55:32 No, you have no sway. I'm thinking ahead. We think ahead. Oh, you know what? I'd give him a three. Oh. There is. If I got a three, I would be so offended.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Would you give Vaughn a three for his drunk? Because tailgating and slow. Tailgating and slow. No, hang on, hang on. Guys, I have a confession to make. I was driving out of Kermu, and we all know... We know a couple of people that live out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Let me tell you, Vaughan was in the fast lane. I saw him and he was going 80. I know. Wait, if we're going on a commute, it's an 80km zone in every direction. I'm simply obeying the law. That lane is for lawbreakers. I should ask a commute. On the motorway.
Starting point is 00:56:21 On the motorway. It's 80 until you get to the motorway. There's no 100km zone until you get to the motorway. We were on the motorway. We're not seeing you, on the motorway. It's 80 until you get to the motorway. There's no 100-kilometer zone until you get to the motorway. No, we were on the motorway. We're not reviewing for you. Oh, yeah, no. I do that. I just like to slow traffic down.
Starting point is 00:56:31 It's honestly the most painful thing about him. Okay, so that's a three. Okay, now we're going to move, and let's really be honest here. What are we giving him in the bedroom? Obviously, keeping in mind, we'll keep it clean. You know, if he keeps it clean, that's part of the out of five, isn't it? Oh, God, in the bedroom. Oh.
Starting point is 00:56:51 We're both pretty vanilla. Let's say like a three. Wait, you just called him vanilla. It's fine. I'm not any more adventurous. We're quite like. Wait, but if you're both not adventurous, surely you'd both be like,
Starting point is 00:57:07 it's a five for each other because we match. But if you're saying three, it sounds like you want this room for you to both be fives. No, I'm sorry, I've written down three. Four is your right. No, four. It sounds like a 3.5, to be honest. Sounds like a three.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Okay, I'll go 3.5. Yeah. Okay, cooking. Out of five. How was Andy's cooking? Oh, zero. Zero? But he cleans the kitchen afterwards.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Yeah, you've obviously got a deal there. Say no more. I've got a zero on my hands. We've got a good thing going. Okay. All right, what's next, Hayley? Kissing technique. What?
Starting point is 00:57:39 Kissing technique. Is it a good kisser? Too much tongue. Enough tongue. Too dry. Too hard. Headbutt kisses. They're only together for 12 years. You can't be together for someone
Starting point is 00:57:47 with a bad kisser for that long. A five. I'm happy in that department. Good, good. Three in the bedroom, but a five on the lips. Here's the last three. You know what they say about, it's a five on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.
Starting point is 00:58:02 That's right. Okay, this is a big one. That's right. Okay. Okay, this is a big one. How's his listening out of five? Come on now. This is ridiculous. Like, honestly, like, probably a two. You're such a great listener.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Okay. I would tell. Okay, so I'm doing... I'm playing golf with my work friends this Friday, right? I've told him about three times. I guarantee you he won't remember what I'm doing on Friday night. Okay, make a list. Make a note. What's she doing Friday night?
Starting point is 00:58:36 Okay, what have we got, Hayley, after all of that? Two more. Two more. How is he at giving gifts? Oh, zero. We don't do it. Good. Oh, okay, right.
Starting point is 00:58:46 And how is his online behaviour in terms of does he have shifty follows? Is he a weird poster? I would say, in my opinion. Does he follow a few hot models, does he? Well, I think he looks at a few hot reels, which then, you know, the algorithm repeats it and he goes, oh, look at this, look at this on my reels. I'm like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:59:12 So what do we give him out of five? I would say five. Good girl. Okay, well, Esther, what we're going to do is pop you on hold. I believe we do have an average. What have we averaged out? No, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Okay, you have my... No, don't say it. Don't say his average. Let's keep it to a grand reveal after both and we'll see. Okay, we're going to come back next. Esther, we're going to pop you on hold. That, by the way,
Starting point is 00:59:39 is the laugh of an evil woman. Yeah, we're going to ask Andy what he thinks of you out of five in all of those categories. I'm going to go listen. No, you're not allowed to listen. No, I won't, I won't, I won't. We're with Esty and Andy.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Esty. No, I'm not. Esther and Andy, a real life couple, been together for 12 years. We're putting them to the test that we talked about yesterday,
Starting point is 01:00:01 which is the annual review of their relationship out of five stars. We've got eight categories. Like it's an Uber. Yep. This is a couple that did this. Esther's been through it.
Starting point is 01:00:11 She's given Andy her ratings. Yeah. I have an average score. Now we've popped her into the cone of silence and we have Andy with us. Andy, welcome back. Hello. Andy, we got told by our producer
Starting point is 01:00:24 that you're very smart. You've got a smart job. Supposedly. He's humble too. I like that. Give him five out of five for humble. I'm on this guy's team. Okay, let's go through the categories with Andy.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Well, just a quick little question, Andy. What's Esther doing on Friday? I think she's playing golf. She said you wouldn't remember. She said you wouldn't remember. She said you wouldn't remember. She said you wouldn't remember. She said you wouldn't remember. She said you wouldn't remember. She said you don't listen. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Anyway, let's get into your questions. Okay. Ranking her. We're going to rank out of five stars, Andy. When it comes to cleanliness, where do you want to put Esther? Oh, definitely a one. She said she's a muckhead poop. What's the grossest thing about her?
Starting point is 01:01:08 She stinks. I think it's just how messy the house is because of her. Yeah. Fair enough. She said that you're very clean. You clean up every night. I kind of give her a lot of slack for having about five different clothes piles, which she can't actually remember whether they're clean or dirty.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Has she received an ADHD diagnosis or is she on the waiting list? Self-diagnosed. Okay, driving. What's Esther's driving like out of five? I'd have to give her a solid four because I taught her, so. Oh, interesting. You're the teacher, so you're the master at driving in the relationship, you'd say?
Starting point is 01:01:46 Yeah, I'd definitely say. I got my licence way before, so when she finally got her restricted, I was kind of teaching her. Interesting that you're the teacher. I think we'll come back to that one when we have Esther on the line. Okay, and remember we are on air,
Starting point is 01:02:01 but in the bedroom, what are we giving her out of five stars? Oh, five stars? Five. Five? Five. He knows, though. You're a smart man, Andy. Smarter than women.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Well, that five, it would certainly be zero if he gave her anything less than five. That's right. Going forward, it would be. Yeah, we'd be getting zero. Yeah. Okay, we move to the kitchen, from the bedroom to the kitchen. What's her cooking out of five?
Starting point is 01:02:30 Definitely, it's up there. I don't want to be like, oh, five, sure. It's a four or five. She does some really nice work. I'm happy to give you a 4.5 because we do know that she is the chef. Yeah, yeah. She's really good at cooking. I'll give her that.
Starting point is 01:02:43 4.5. 4.5. Room for improvement. Okay. Just a.5 room. Yeah, yeah. She's really good at cooking. I'll give her that. 4.5. 4.5. Room for improvement. Okay. This is interesting. Anyway, okay. What about kissing? Kissing technique? You have good kisses? Yeah,
Starting point is 01:02:57 I'd say I enjoy my kisses. I actually haven't kissed a lot of girls, so I don't actually have a good comparison. That's so sweet. That's so sweet. That's so sweet. Would you give her a five? Are you giving her a five? But he doesn't know.
Starting point is 01:03:12 You don't know. He doesn't know. So technically, Andy, you're giving her a five. Yeah, good. Now, what we should have done is organise someone to be over at Andy's place to give him a kiss. We know it's a great kisser, so we'll be like, holy moly, now that's a five. She's a three. That's a five. All right, we'll give that a five. Okay know it's a great kisser, so we'll be like, holy moly, now that's a five, she's a three.
Starting point is 01:03:25 We'll give that a five. Okay, that's a five. Okay, three more. How's your listening out of five? Hmm. Hmm, interesting. I'd probably say three to four, probably three and a half, maybe. We'll do a three and a half. Three and a half stars.
Starting point is 01:03:41 So you think there's some room for improvement there? Also a bad listener as well, I find. So you reckon you're both just as bad. Interesting you've acknowledged that. Okay, what about gifts, gift giving? She buy you good gifts or she rubbish at it? Definitely probably a four, yeah. Good gifts, wow.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Andy, Andy, Andy. Okay, the final one, online behaviour. So does she follow a lot of hot guys on social? Is she a bit flirty in her DMs? Or has she got good online behaviour? I think she's got good online behaviour. And if she follows a hot guy, I've got to make sure he's also hot, in my opinion. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Yeah, okay. Sort of like Henry Cavill. That's hot. Yeah! And I like Andy. So do I. Hang on. Now, I've got...
Starting point is 01:04:24 Now, what I'll do is I'll conference you, Andy. I'll bring in Esther. We'll just get her out of the cone of silence. Carwen has been chatting to her, so she hasn't heard any of the ratings. Very interesting, Esther. You've got a nice guy on your hands here. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Guys, he better be doing right, otherwise we're breaking up. Esther, I'll say there is a gulf. There is a gulf. He knew about the gulf. Oh, he knew about the gulf. Well, no, I was saying there's a gulf between the ratings. Oh, you were saying G-U-L-A-F.
Starting point is 01:04:58 We were thinking G-O-L-A-F. Yeah, he did know about the gulf, Esther. So he's actually listening. So I've got your average scores. I've worked out your average scores that you've given each other. Some interesting points. Cleanliness, Esther, you gave Andy a four only because his office is yuck. Andy, you gave Esther a one. Oh, that's good.
Starting point is 01:05:16 I thought he would have given me a zero. Wow. I'm happy with that. Okay. I probably would have gone there. Yeah. Bedroom. Let's head to the bedroom.
Starting point is 01:05:24 No, we want to talk about the driving because Andy taught you to drive, Esther, which you didn't mention. He is lying. You said, you said, Esther, that his driving is a three, whereas Andy said your driving is a four.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Oh, it should have been a five. The student has become the master. Yeah, wow. Is that right, Andy? The relationship I'm in, she's clearly lying through her teeth right now. Yeah. Here he is. Here he is.
Starting point is 01:05:50 We're sending a bit of backbone from our boy and we like it. In the bedroom, for example, Andy, you gave Esther a straight five. Now, we will say that. Yeah, he did. He gave you a five. Andy, we might be going to the bedroom tonight if you're not on the plane. Whereas Esther. Where he will serve you up a solid three.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Yeah, well, you got a 3.5. Now, Andy, she gave you a 3.5, but she did say, you know, that you have a simple lovemaking technique and she's into it. What's the reference on? Like, how can she compare this to anything? Guys, okay, Andy, what a way to tell everyone that we're each other's first. How romantic. Oh my god, that is literally so cute.
Starting point is 01:06:36 You two are very sweet. I will note for kissing technique, you gave each other both a 5 out of 5. And for online behaviour, you gave each other both a 5 out of 5. And for online behaviour, you gave each other both a 5 out of 5. Now, Andy, your final score out of 5 stars for Esther is a solid 4. Wow. 4 out of 5.
Starting point is 01:06:56 4. That's 80%. That's incredible. That's huge. You put that on a poster. Yeah. Esther, your final score for Andy was 2.8. Now, 2.8. It's a 2.8. No. 2.8.
Starting point is 01:07:05 It's a 2.8. Now, we will only know. Andy, it's only because you got zero for cooking. Now, that's fair. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I don't cook, so I don't. Yeah, and you got zero for gift giving. And they brought your solid right down.
Starting point is 01:07:21 You would have been up there with a 3.8 to a four. What did he give me for gift giving? Four, babe. You give good gifts. When do I give you a present? Oh, actually, I just gave you a present. Okay, guys. We don't pay for the counselling.

We're at home right now, so we'll finish it right now. All right. Love you guys. Thank you guys for doing that because a lot of people were keen to do it,

Starting point is 01:08:07 Play Zed M's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's Simpsons week here at Fact of the Day. Quick one today. How old would the Simpsons characters be now if they, you know, 1989 when they debuted and their ageing started then? Of course, they were eternally Bart, as eternally 10. But if Bart was 10 in 1989, Bart would now be 46 years old.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I was about to say he'd be 40s. Yeah, 46. Homer would be 72. He was 36 in 1989, meaning he was born in 1953, meaning he's 72 years old this year. Marge would be 70 this year, because apparently she was 34 when the show started. By the way,
Starting point is 01:08:58 these kind of vary. I've found a lot of different places online that had different but this is from the Simpsons website. Did they outwardly say how old they ever were? There's been well Bart was always 10 and that was referenced and there was a few episodes in the early seasons where Homer was
Starting point is 01:09:13 his age was sort of like referenced and talked about. Right. Maggie would be 37 years old because she was one in the Simpsons. Grandpa Simpson would now be 118 years old. Sound like someone on Facebook. Grandma would have been
Starting point is 01:09:30 147 today. Happy 118th heavenly birthday to great grandma. She's not though. And actually she wouldn't have been. Today would have been her 176th birthday. It just wouldn't have. She wouldn't have been. Today would have been her 176th birthday.
Starting point is 01:09:46 It just wouldn't have... It wouldn't. She wouldn't have lived. She wouldn't have lived that long. No. That's why she didn't. So they worked out his age because he was in World War II. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:54 At the time, and they worked out it was. And Mr. Burns is older. There's no, like, official age for Mr. Burns, but apparently he was older than Grandpa Simpson. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:03 He was 118. He would be 118 if he was still alive today. So today's fact of the day is the Simpsons is basically 36 years old, meaning everybody is 36 years older now than they were when it started. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. A-E-R. 9th of March. All the details and tickets at synthony.com. And Symphony is our biggest one-day festival in New Zealand. It's 34,000 tickets sold so far. It's going to be bigger than that. And joining us right now and performing, Cyril, welcome, man.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Thanks for having me. Absolutely a pleasure to have you here. 34,000. I mean, there's going to be more than that on the day. What's it like screaming at you? Oh, incredible. It's great. What's the biggest crowd
Starting point is 01:11:06 you've played? No, this will be the biggest, I think. Oh, is it? This will be the biggest. Do you get, like, hyped for that or does that make you
Starting point is 01:11:13 more nervous? The more the people, the more nervous? I'm just always on one level, if you know what I mean. I don't get nervous or I don't get hyped.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Oh, really? I just do it. You know what I mean? Chill guy. That's what my kids say, chill guy. Don't get me wrong, I get up there, I jump, I sweat I just do it. You know what I mean? Chill guy. That's what my kids would say, chill guy. Don't get me wrong, I get up there,
Starting point is 01:11:26 I jump, I sweat, you know, I fall over, piss myself. Don't get that far. Wow. What would you do though in the middle of a huge set like that if you needed to pee?
Starting point is 01:11:35 If you're like playing like a six hour set, there's got to be like a bucket there or a toilet nearby. I love that we see like the lights, like the desk,
Starting point is 01:11:44 everything's like flash and behind you is a wee bucket. Yeah, I love that we see the lights, the desk, everything's like flash and behind you is a wee bucket. Yeah, I love this is where the conversation has taken us. Yeah, I don't know how it got there.
Starting point is 01:11:51 I love it. It's great. Do you reckon your chill vibe has much to do with the fact that you're from Darwin? I didn't realise
Starting point is 01:11:57 you were from Darwin. Well, I've been there for six years but I'm actually from like a town of 50 people in New South Wales. Wow. I had no Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 01:12:03 My first DJ set, the church got a PA system and I got all my cousins out there and I was there on one iPad and one CD player. Did you return it back to the church and then lock it all up, understood?
Starting point is 01:12:16 Yeah, after a lot of like, yeah, we built it. Yeah, we built it, them speakers. I mean, but there's a lot of musicians, right, who, especially coming from a really small town
Starting point is 01:12:24 that's centered around a church that we're temporarily robbing and music's their passion and they could be just as talented and they could be putting in just as much effort but it won't happen for them you know like they don't get to play in front of tens of thousands of people like that must be amazing for you now that like
Starting point is 01:12:39 it's working. Yeah 100% it was like it was a make or break sort of thing I remember like by the time my son was about to come out, my son's been born. He's got jaundice in hospital. The males have to leave at 8pm. So I'm literally leaving the hospital at 8pm to get back, have meetings with record labels, you know,
Starting point is 01:12:55 do all the talking and stuff, get a manager and stuff like that. And then I'm back at the hospital with my son, you know, and my missus trying to bring us, you know, McDonald's. She doesn't hate life for three days What's her order? Just wondering what her order was Double quarter pounder
Starting point is 01:13:08 with Big Mac sauce on the quarter pounder double cheeseburger and some nuggies What an order What an order What a partner to just know it
Starting point is 01:13:16 that quick as well She still gets it Do you know Hayley likes Filet-O-Fishers? Oh no I know I don't know I just really make a sort of a kindred with nuggies I love fish but not on a burger likes Filet-O-Fishers? Oh, no. I know. I don't know if Filet-O-Fishers
Starting point is 01:13:25 is sort of a kindred. You want it? With nuggets. I love fish, but not on a burger. Filet-O-Fishers is so hot. It's quite a pain in the butt. When my missus was pregnant,
Starting point is 01:13:35 she doesn't have it anymore, thank God, but after she was pregnant, she craved tuna and she craved meatballs. So like the three months after she was pregnant because she could eat tuna again,
Starting point is 01:13:46 she was having tuna meatball subs. That's gross. That's mangy, man. I even see the tuna and I'm like, that's not a sub I'll go for, but she had one on a meatball. Yeah, man, tuna meatball. How old's your son now?
Starting point is 01:14:00 He's a year and a half. So you've got a baby in the house and how are you not disturbing a baby in the house, and how are you not disturbing this baby with very loud music? Headphones? Headphones, yeah. But the funny thing is we've just moved into a new house, so I have a bigger studio space.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Oh, amazing. I haven't actually seen the house yet, so I've been moving house while I've been gone. Yeah. And, yeah, so I'm going to get a drum kit next week, so I don't know how that's going to go. And your partner still likes you? Oh, I think so. Is the dream that one day, like, your son can come and watch you
Starting point is 01:14:32 at something like Synthony, something, you know, watch you killing it? He's seen a couple of shows in Australia, but there are me, my missus, my manager and his missus and both our kids. He's got a girl, I've got a boy, so we're going to bring all of us over to Europe for like three and a half months. That's awesome. I'm dreading it, aye. And you're kissing.
Starting point is 01:14:48 You can get tickets at synthony.com happening Saturday the 29th of March at Auckland Domain Manuka Fuel Energy Drink Synthony Festival. It's going to be amazing. I'm so glad we're putting up a good crowd for you and you're absolutely a deserver. Thank you, man. No, thank you.
Starting point is 01:15:02 Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. And our little, you're roasting her for her fluffy hair. I just asked Georgia Bird if she'd bother doing her hair this morning. Guys, I never do my hair. You don't do your hair this morning, do you? If I, like I come here and it's wet. This is last night's. Well, I've been told by Hayley's hairdresser, Shari,
Starting point is 01:15:17 that I can't wash it every day. Well, you're going to get married. I know, and I hate it. I hate not washing it every day, eh? So I'm flattening it up carry on Hayley why don't you guys talk about hair in front of two bald guys hey I've bought mine
Starting point is 01:15:31 half of this is fake so George is at the top of the pyramid I'm rocking a thicket of pubes so I feel like I am allowed to thicket so yesterday I love that this was called this.
Starting point is 01:15:46 In our little planning sheet, we write down a little, you know, prompt for what we can talk about. Hayley packed a trifecta of sads. Perfectly described how I did yesterday. Three separate sads. Three sads were packed. And they were packed hard. It wasn't just me being like, nyeh.
Starting point is 01:16:02 First one was packed at the gym. I went to the gym. I was tired to be fair. Because you had no sleep on Saturday night. You literally stayed up until 7am. That's the time I got home. Then I just rattled around until I went to Auckland. So yeah, no sleep.
Starting point is 01:16:17 No sleep at all? For a whole day? Yeah, but I pushed through, right? And then I went to have a good night on Sunday night, good sleep and then I thought, I'm going to go to the gym. It's going to make me feel really good. Then I realised I packed my shorts that are too tight and my top that's too short. And that combo, when you're not feeling yourself, no good.
Starting point is 01:16:36 You've got to have confidence to rock in there with a pair of shorts that are too tight and a top that's too short. But I didn't have that. Oh, moose knuckle in the muffin top. Oh, moose knuckle. Which was our rock quest then. that's too short but I didn't have that oh moose knuckle in the muffin top oh moose that's my bad which was our rock quest band
Starting point is 01:16:47 moose knuckle in the muffin top it's a good name it's a really good name actually it's a really good name yeah but it was
Starting point is 01:16:57 and I was like ugh I feel uncomfortable and then I saw myself in the mirror and I just thought ew and I went no
Starting point is 01:17:02 and I left I just left mid workout you packed a set oh no because I sent you I had a PB at the gym yesterday so that would have really upset you and I just thought ew and I went no and I left I just left mid workout you packed a sad oh no because I sent you I had a PB at the gym yesterday so that would have
Starting point is 01:17:08 really upset you and I said well I've just left mid workout because I was sick of looking at the side of myself couldn't stand I just left
Starting point is 01:17:13 stormed someone I just let Vaughn message back when you said that I dealt with it though didn't I you did because Vaughn
Starting point is 01:17:20 used to deal with it you did deal with it told me to buck up my ideas I'll just be quiet for that one. Second sad was packed. I didn't tell you to buck up your ideas. No, but-
Starting point is 01:17:30 I told you to be proud of your effort and you're seeing some great results and stuck at it and you're a champion. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's nice. That's really nice. That's really nice.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Yeah. Then I went and I had a rehearsal space yesterday because I'm making a new show for Comedy Fest and I got in there and I spun around the room on a wheelie chair for a bit. Opened some emails. A friend came to monitor me doing the emails because I kept getting distracted. And then when they left, I tried to write one joke. I got into the microphone.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I said it out loud. And then off the walls, the walls were telling me that it wasn't funny. So I packed a set and went home. So I paid for this for the afternoon, so that room's empty. Packed a set, not funny. So not feeling good, not funny. Yeah. Then I got home yesterday and it was like...
Starting point is 01:18:12 You took your feedback from walls. Yeah. Who have seen it all. Yeah, who have seen it all. I said a joke into the mic like, ha-ha, da-ba-da-da. Oh, yeah, great. Well, that's not funny. Good luck to you.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I guess so well. People are going to come. They're not going to laugh. You're not even funny we'll go and then I got home and it was kind of alright
Starting point is 01:18:29 whatever house wasn't tight that's fine and I I cooked dinner I made nachos yeah I get on
Starting point is 01:18:37 the couch is currently busy because Aaron's going away on a trip he cleared a space on the couch we were going to watch White Lotus episode 1 watched, enjoyed and we got the nachos and I sat them there and the first thing Aaron's going away on a trip. He cleared a space on the couch. We were going to watch White Lotus, episode one.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Oh, yeah, lovely. Watched, enjoyed. And we got the nachos, and I sat them there, and the first thing that happened is I sat back, and some of the nachos came onto me in the couch. Slopped on your moose neck. Slopped on the... Slopped straight on the moose neck. Missed it.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Missed it. Missed it. Careful. Bypassed the muffin top straight to the moose neck. missed it missed missed missed therefore I passed the muffin tops straight to the Moussner Sloppy Nachos was the song
Starting point is 01:19:11 that made Moussner and the muffin tops win the regional finals of the Smokefree Rock Quest and that was the third sad pact and that's it is that why you had nachos I stormed off
Starting point is 01:19:21 I stormed out of the room and then I sat there and Aaron was like come sit I've cleaned up Aaron was like, come sit. I've cleaned up the couch. He said, come sit down next to me. I said, no, I don't want a bar if it's wet. So I sat on a chair that faces us on the same wall as the TV.
Starting point is 01:19:33 So I sat watching it, sort of like peering aside like this. And he said, thanks for dinner. It's yum. I said, no, it doesn't taste like shit. And that was it. You know how important sleep is, right? Like missing a whole day of sleep. I've found it.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Yeah. I've found it. I reckon Aaron's looking forward to his trip away. He'll be like screaming out of the driveway. Goodbye. Forever. Oh. I just...
Starting point is 01:20:02 Who did Tummy do it for? Yeah, that was my tum-tums. That was my tum-tum-tums. Hey guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show. Ah, not for me. Vaughan? Nowhere even close. Nowhere even close.
