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.

Is that your April Fools?
You're the anchor now.
Yeah.
You're going to start everything.
And you're the girl.
Okay.
Oh, but then I'm still who I am.
Oh, you're still the funny guy.
I should be the girl.
He should be the funny guy.
Okay, great.
Okay, I'm the anchor.
You're the girl.
He's the funny guy.
Do you know what?
I think as New Zealanders...
Funny guy.
No, I'm not.
As New Zealanders, we get punished with April Fool's Day.
And we don't really care.
We have two days of it
because we have to put up
with the lame company jokes
from New Zealand companies today
and then tomorrow
the rest of the world.
I know.
Guys, we get press releases
from brands being like,
lol, lol, lol,
here's a product.
You're like,
no, there's not.
No, it's not.
That's not a thing.
That's not happening.
You're not doing pickle chocolate, all right?
Sometimes that hurts my feelings because I want the fake product.
Yeah, I want the weird stuff.
Yeah, and they're like, we're going to do this.
And I'm like, that sounds yum.
I want to eat it.
It sounds yum.
ZM's World Tour continues.
It's the Island Edition, a chance for you to get to Raro, Fiji, or Hamilton Island.
Guys.
Listen out for the activator.
It's going to play sometime during the show today.
The top six is on the way.
Oh, my God.
Can we?
No, you go.
You tease top six.
Top six are the days that happened today on April 1st.
It's not just April Fool's Day.
There's a whole lot of other things,
including a surprising amount of inventions celebrate their birthday today.
Oh.
Because do you remember ages ago?
Has that piqued your interest?
You guys sound genuinely interested.
I'm piqued.
No, so this is an actual serious list for the top six.
It's a serious list.
Because do you remember ages ago when they changed the giveaway rule
and they did it on April 1st?
April 1st.
And everyone was like, is this a joke?
Yeah.
I'm not giving away to the left.
It's also, can I say, welcome to a brand new financial year.
Oh, the accountants are going to get stressed, aren't they?
It's time to get your GST done, guys,
and prep those end-of-year financial returns.
Why did Hayley just give a look like she has no receipts from the last year?
I spent my GST as well.
It's gone.
Oi, sorry, Mr. Taxman.
There's nothing left.
It's coming for you, Taxman.
Brian from Occult Dead Ends.
Next on the show.
Wait, we need to talk about after 8 o'clock.
Long tease.
Our video with Damien has gone utterly crazy.
This was the story on Friday about Damien picking up the mirror
that ended up being six foot by six foot.
What, the story was six foot by six foot as well?
It was so long.
So funny.
And he kept on mentioning Kathleen, his partner.
We're going to talk to Kathleen.
Yeah, because.
The underdog of the story.
This morning, the TikTok videos alone has had 1.3 million views.
Yeah, people are soaking up the story.
So it's going to get nice to get another perspective.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
When we arrive, we have to come through a little kitchen area,
the common kitchen area, before we get into our studio.
I've just noticed something.
As I came in today, I filled up
my water bottle. I looked in the
communal fridge. There is a
spaghetti bolognese
that I made for myself
three weeks ago.
Okay, you're the reason these
notes go up on the fridge.
We're clearing out the fridge on Sunday because
something started breeding
and multiplying.
That's me. And I looked on top
and I was like, I don't remember it being blue.
Do you know what I mean? Like, it's bad.
It's a bad search. That's me. I've done that.
It's blue. Yeah, and then people, you know,
it's got mould on it.
Full mould.
That, like, green mould. Imagine if
Jo, who's in charge of these sorts of things and loves an email,
imagine if she made you eat that in front of the whole company
just to teach you a lesson.
Like a real, who is that?
Oh my God.
Madam Trench, what's in Matilda?
Trunchbull.
Miss Trunchbull and Bruce Bogtrotter.
She Bruce Bogtrotters you with your mouldy spat.
But I'm in that thing where like.
You eat the whole thing.
You know that I'm an eco-warrior
Yep
And that I care about the planet more than anything
And I, boy I recycle
That's why you have the odd ciggy
And chuck the butt in the ocean
No, I pick up the butt
That's so unfair that fish can't have ciggies
Yeah, I always leave a little bit extra for them
I put it out earlier than
Right down to the butt Yeah, and it leave a little bit extra for them. I put it out earlier than right down to the butt.
Yeah, and it floats on the surface,
so the fish comes up and the hot water goes in the air
and it goes, sweet cigarette, thanks, man.
But I...
All right, of course, jest.
Today I'm not going to care about the environment.
I'm not cleaning that out.
Do you know what I mean?
The whole system is going in the bin.
Okay, so it's a proper systema container.
And it's not like I didn't... Because I've got some like cheapy meal preppy ones that I'd happily throw out. Do you know what I mean? The whole Sistema's going in the bin. Okay, so it's a proper Sistema container. It's not like
I didn't, because I've got some like cheapy meal preppy
ones that I'd happily throw out. It's not one of your
new world containers.
One of the, you know, it's the Sistema's
that has the grey ones that are like click tight.
This is washable. This is washable.
Let's not throw it out. It has to go.
No, no, scrape it out and chuck it in that.
You know, we've got that dishwasher out there that's
those hospo ones for glasses that go super hot.
Huck it in there.
Might melt it, though.
I just can't face it.
Like, I can't face opening up the lid.
You know, even when it's cleaned out and you're using it again,
you'll know that there was mould in there.
My soul will know.
What lived in there for three weeks.
I just saw it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
And I brought in mints yesterday
and that's in the fridge.
Am I just going to leave that there?
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
So it's been done
and it's been published in Frontiers
in Computer Science,
which is a thing.
Oh, it's a thing.
I know the thing.
And it has found that people
tend to find another way
to divert their attention
when they put their smartphone
out of reach.
So they're like, I'm going to put my phone down.
Yeah.
I'm not going to be distracted by my phone,
but then they'll go on their laptop or tablet
or they will find another way to distract themselves.
From doing the actual thing that they should be doing.
Basically.
Isn't there a moment in modern current human climate,
a moment that gives you more like,
hmm,
have a night in well,
than when you realize you haven't been on your phone for a couple of hours.
Oh my God,
I know.
And you open it up and there's like eight,
eight notifications.
Or none in my case.
Like all my friends messaging being like,
girl,
what's up?
It's that feeling when you,
you turn your phone on,
um,
off flight mode and you've been on a plane for an hour or you've been at the gym in a class
and you're like, oh, my God, notifications.
And you just stare at the screen.
You're like, here they come.
And you tap your pocket and you're like, where's my phone?
And you're like, I've been out here for two and a half hours
and I haven't even had my phone.
Makes you feel good.
I'm some sort of Buddhist monk.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Buddha, look at me.
Yeah.
Like the monks that first brewed Heineken. Buddhist monk. Yeah. Oh my God. Buddha. Look at me. Yeah. I like the,
by the monks that first brewed Heineken.
I've come to be at pure peace.
Wow.
With nature.
Yeah.
And then you realize that it's just your dad's every day.
Yeah.
I know.
Basically researchers found that it's not the devices themselves that distract us.
It's how we've been trained to constantly check them. Yeah. got this really short attention span oh my gosh we've trained ourselves to be like
hit hit hit oh my god i mentioned the say that i close like i'll be on instagram and then i'll
close instagram be like get off instagram and i'll open instagram i'll be like something else
instagram it's like the crap i can find myself being like what was i just and i got on instagram
like you were just here hayley you were just here, Hayley.
You were just here.
Okay, put our phones down.
Let's put our phones down till eight.
Yeah.
You just literally looked at your laptop.
Yeah, guys, as you were talking, the stories on Instagram were just scrolling through on my laptop.
This is horrible.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Boy, you better believe when I was scouring the internet yesterday being like, I'm going to get some hot content for the Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley breakfast show here on ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Boy, you better believe, when I was scouring the internet yesterday being like, I'm going to get some hot content
for the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley breakfast show here on ZM.
And when I saw the perfect age gap
if you want a long-lasting relationship,
I thought that is fodder.
Here we go.
And I copy and pasted it.
I put it into an email, sent it off, ready to talk about.
Then just before Sabrina Carpenter, I teased.
Boy, I'm going to tell you the perfect number.
Just scouring through the article here.
Relationship experts agree.
Of course, as long as it's all legal
and two consenting adults,
there is no ideal number.
April Fool's!
April Fool's! I can't believe
this
tripe.
This utter shit made it on air today.
I'm so sorry.
On this day.
I actually can't believe it either.
Of the fools of April.
When I led with, in my prep email,
a new idea segment called Vaughan Smith Examines Time.
Vaughan Smith Examines Time.
Okay, so you pitched Vaughan Smith Examines Time.
Okay.
I pitched an article that was a complete tease
and has no information. Okay. I pitched an article that was a complete tease and has no information.
Fletch pitched how often you should be washing your duvet.
People want to know how often to wash your duvet.
He got absolutely slaughtered in the room when he brought it up.
Three crap articles.
No, it wasn't a crap article.
Today, it's 30 years since the first Ninja Turtles movie was released.
The ones where they were inside the costumes.
Okay.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The creepy ones.
At the time, you were like, this is the raddest movie I've ever seen.
But now looking back on it, it's creepy.
And the other day I saw them, they kept the costumes,
but time has like eaten away at the foam and stuff.
And it was very scary.
35 years before that, because this is how I do things.
I take a center point and then I pivot around time
and Vaughn Smith examines time.
Yeah, but it's just miserable.
So 35 years ago, I know, I know.
It's really, that's what we always end the segment with.
We're all going to die soon.
So 35 years ago, Ninja Turtles came out.
35 years before that, Lady and the Tramp was the biggest movie.
Oh, I love that.
35 years before that, the movies were silent.
And 35 years before that, there were no such thing as movies.
Wait, so Vaughan Smith Examines Time is just a really depressing.
A weird look at.
I'm just checking the text machine for some feedback on Vaughan Smith Examines Time.
I'll say it's absolutely silent in there.
That's sort of a collective understanding that's not really working.
If you were like my age now when the Ninja Turtles movie came out,
if you were an adult with children who you took along to the Ninja Turtles
and you were 43 years old, you are now 78 years old.
Okay.
And where's that time gone?
And now you might be like, I'm 78 years old.
This feels like a personal panic.
It is ongoing, ongoing.
Why do you do this to yourself? It should be called Walsmith 78 years old. This feels like a personal panic. It is ongoing. Ongoing.
Why do you do this to yourself?
It should be called Vaughan Smith's time panic.
Time panic. Trying to make everybody panic about how little time we've got on this rock.
Sort of like chaotically rotating around a huge gas ball through space with no real.
We've had our first bit of feedback.
Great work, Vaughan.
I'm going to be honest about the feedback that's coming in
Wait so you think Vaughn Smith examines time
Could be an ongoing segment
And it's when I see these things
Here's another one
Vaughn's idea sounds awesome
Yeah okay
Has anybody messaged how often we should be washing our doogies
Now I want to know
No one cares
Everyone's ignoring it anyway
Everyone's like
It's like any of those
You should wash your towels twice weekly Everyone's's like, yep, I do that.
They don't. He's a genius. Nobody does.
People are saying, I kind of love this segment.
Is that bad? I
actually enjoyed that. Right.
Interesting. The feedback is
overwhelmingly. I told you.
Vaughan Smith examines time.
Oh, Vaughan Smith's time panic, which I kind
of like better. Vaughan Smith. He's a
genius. I'm just reading the feedback. I like Vaughan Smith's Time Panic, which I kind of like better. Vaughan Smith. He's a genius. I'm just reading the feedback.
I like Vaughan Smith's Examines Time.
Examines Time.
And we'll get a little intro made.
Yeah.
And I want it to be like real mysterious.
Yes, yes, yes.
Like a clock.
Slower, that was too panicky, too fast.
And in the back, it's like, ah!
You know, there's sort of like someone screaming.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, I don't want to panic you even more, but it's already April.
Last one. Okay, we've got two last bits to panic you even more, but it's already April. Last one.
Okay, we've got two last bits of feedback.
How often should I wash my duvet?
But on top of that, the last text is Fletcher's idea sucks.
Well, I'm not going to tell you how often to wash your duvet.
That's just, you'll have to have a manky duvet.
Fletcher's idea sucks.
With an X. With an X. Socks. With an X.
With an X.
Socks.
With an X.
Oh, that hurts even more.
The general advice,
according to Good Housekeeping,
is that you should watch it
once per year at minimum.
But maybe you would benefit
if you're manky
by washing it every three to four months.
Oh, how do I quantify how manky I am?
If you're a particularly sweaty,
wash it more often.
Now you've got questions.
People are interested in the duvet stats.
There are more texts coming in.
Thank you.
How often?
Well, once a year if you're not manky, but also Fletcher's idea sucks.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
From the Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley group chat, this is the top six.
Get out of that group chat.
April Fool's Day today.
And I've done some Googling.
No like set origin story of April Fool's.
There's like a few things.
Who chose the day?
Jester's Day.
And there was a day where it was like the fools all gathered like the jesters and they'd have like a competition.
But then it was like, well, that kind of floated around.
It was more of a lunar thing than specifically this day.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I can't tell you the exact origins,
but today's top six is the top six other things
that happen to celebrate on this day.
April 1st.
Like, actual things, not silly things like usual.
Or are you being a silly bugger?
Or are you being silly?
Actual things.
Wow.
Okay.
It's nice to be factual once in a while.
It is nice.
Especially because today Fletch has been the funny guy.
Well, let me be the serious one.
I'll continue to be the girl.
I'm going to put my glasses here.
Down my nose.
Some bridge, yeah.
Like a librarian.
Yep.
And I'll tell you number six on the list of the top six other days that happened today.
It's Gmail's 21st birthday.
Oh. Happy birthday, Gmail.
Yeah. Shots, shots, shots.
Still cracks me up when someone has a Yahoo
or an MSN email. Oh, how
embarrassing. And you feel it when they tell you as well,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shame. But Gmail's okay.co.nz yeah yeah yeah yeah shame but Gmail's okay
unless you're a business
I judge you
if you're a business
and you can't set up
one of those
cloaked emails
where you're like
for example
I would be born
at bornsmith.com
but it just goes
to my Gmail anyway
yeah
when a company
a business
has a Gmail
as their core thing
grow up
it makes me question
grow up
grow up
I mean they don't want to pay they're probably a small business you know core thing, grow up. It makes me question. Grow up and grow up.
I mean, they don't want to pay.
They're probably a small business, you know.
I know, but grow up.
Have some respect for yourself.
Number five on the list of the top six other things that happened today,
April Fool's Day, April 1st,
happy 77th birthday to the Big Bang Theory.
Not the TV show, but the actual Big Bang Theory.
It was cosmologist Ralph Elfner.
Man, that's a hard name to say.
I just go Ralphner.
I'll go Ralphner as well.
Hans Bethea and George Gamal first proposed the Big Bang Theory in a scientific journal today in 1948.
That feels late.
77 years ago.
And then that bloody TV show.
You know I couldn't stand that.
I actually quite liked it.
Oh, it's so bad.
I really liked the early seasons.
Cringy.
Don't tell people you like that. That's quite a, yeah, that's
not cool.
Is that not cool? How embarrassing.
Not cool. Not home. No, people
loved it though, didn't they? People loved it. I'm like
how? I don't get it. It was so badly
performed and so badly written, the whole thing.
Anyway.
Oh, I'm sorry, Golden Boy.
How many seasons did you have?
Two phenomenal, flawless seasons.
The Big Bang Theory was good.
It was crap.
It was trash.
It was so embarrassing.
Ow, penny.
Oh, God, it was awful.
The actual theory itself.
The theory itself.
That's so young.
The theory itself, the Big Bang Theory, 1948.
God, what did we believe before that? Jesus. God. Jesus. Jesus's so young. The theory itself, the Big Bang Theory, 1948. God, what did we believe before that?
Jesus. God. Jesus.
We're both doing Jesus. Just Jesus.
God. Number four on the list

It is happy
136th birthday
to the dishwasher.
Josephine Cochran. That's right,

the first dishwasher today
in 1889
significantly different
because she got sick of it
she was absolutely
bloody sick of it

absolutely bloody sick of it
because before that
it was a dinosaur trunk
that came through the window
wasn't it
it was a woolly mammoth trunk

Nah.
Do you reckon he'd have one in every house, even the toilet?
Every room.
Every room.
He'd probably have a ducting system actually. He'd have a hell of a system.
Nah, he has pumps in every room.
In every room.
Yeah, full pumps.
Yeah, I love that.
Big Bang Theory is awesome.
Hayley sucks.

Because I was like, oh, you're going to love this news.
Now, The Holiday, for me, The Holiday is a perfect film, right?
The Holiday, Christmastime, we love it. Kevin Diaz, Kate Winslet. I don't think I've ever seen it. I haven't seen it either. now the holiday for me the holiday is a perfect film right the holiday Christmas time
we love it
Cameron Diaz
Kate Winslet
I don't think I've ever seen it
I haven't seen it either
is it just one of those
crappy holiday movies
with an ensemble cast
join us between 7 and 8
all we're doing is
watching the holiday
that's it
scrap everything else
I'm aware of what happens
they switch don't they
yeah they switch houses
one lives in
a big
Hollywood mansion
she works on film scores, I think.
Right.
One of them lives in a tiny British cottage
and it's winter and summer.
I need to get out of here.
Love life turning to kaka.
And then we swap.
Right.
And then we fall in love where we are.
Anyway, perfect.
Jude Law, Jack Black.
So Kate Winslet the other day,
this happens all the time with, you know,
great films that people always love
she was promoting
something completely different
and they're like
what about the holiday two
what about the holiday two
and she's like
man we did that in 2006
yeah yeah
it's like
it's a classic now
yeah yeah
love actually
this is what they were
trying to recreate with
yeah yeah totally
everybody wants to make
the next Love Actually.
Yeah, totally.
Of course they do.
And she was like, honestly, it's never come up.
And she was like, no one's ever even approached her.
And she says, I've been quite surprised that it never came up
because it's the kind of film that would lend itself
quite well to a sequel.
It's never come up.
So I was like, come on, Hollywood writers.
I mean, yeah, they're trying to squeeze every last drop of money
out of any project they can.
There's films that have a seven.
We went to Fast and Furious 10.
Yeah.
And they're working on Ted Lasso season four.
Yeah.
Which I was kind of like.
Yeah, they kind of finished that perfectly.
I feel like they finished that.
And now they're obviously just like, bit of money?
Yeah.
So as you may know, friend of the show, Jason Momoa and Jack Black,
friends of the show, actually,
they're doing Minecraft publicity at the moment,
doing all the red carpets and stuff.
So he's there to promote Minecraft, Jack Black, and same thing.
What about a sequel for the holiday?
What about a sequel for the holiday?
When's it going to happen?
And he was like, I would be so in.
He's like,
I love the writer and director,
Nancy Myers.
Yeah.
I hope she does it.
There's nothing like the first one,
but never say never.
I love working with great artists
and anytime they come back,
if they asked me,
I would jump at the chance.
Okay, so they're all open to it.
All of them.
I mean,
Cameron Diaz just came back
from her acting hiatus.
Yeah.
With honestly,
a shocking film.
Do you know what I mean?
What was it?
Her and Jamie Foxx?
Back in Action.
So if you Google Cameron Diaz and it says her movies,
it says Back in Action because that's the most recent one.
Then it jumps back to 1994's The Mask,
which was our introduction to Cameron Diaz. Yeah, totally.
And then Charlie's Angels, then The Holiday.
The only other person you'd have to ask is Jude Law, right?
Hey, Cameron Diaz has done some great movies.
Yeah, she has.
She's a fantastic actress.
There's something about Mary.
Bad Teacher was really good.
Charlie's Angels reboot, she was great in that.
Night and Day with Tom Cruise.
Yeah, that was shocking.
I'm sure she's Princess Fiona in Shrek.
Of course she is.
All of the Shreks. Honestly, come on Hollywood writers, write it and they with Tom Cruise. Yes. That was shocking. Of course she's Princess Fiona and Shrek. Of course she is. All of the Shreks.
Honestly, come on Hollywood writers,
write it and they'll do it.

Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
It is so silly, silly, silly
that the silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole.
Silly little pole. Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole, Silly Little Pole.
Silly Little Pole today is, would you mind if your partner did OnlyFans?
So many people are sharing their experience of OnlyFans online, Kiwis included, who are making bank from doing this.
Or not making bank. Or yeah Or Not making bank Or yeah literally making
Or yeah but it might just be
Enough money to buy some coffees
Yeah
You better get into weirder shit
If you're not
Excuse my language
That was just a blurt
It was a blurt
It was a blurt
Yeah
Out there
I think if you're not making enough money
You've got to find your niche right
Yeah but everybody else is doing the niche
It's hard
Wouldn't that be what I'm saying
You've got to find your niche
Feet ain't niche no more
Yeah
No feet ain't niche.
Feet are mainstream.
There's a big OnlyFans.
Air holes.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the future.
There's a big mainstream OnlyFans chick who's always on my Instagram.
And she talks about what she's doing today.
I'm going to do all this and da-da-da-da-da.
And then she's like, and then my boyfriend and I.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, okay.
Well, that's just her job, isn't it?
What is he making of it?
Yeah, it's just a job.
So that's why we wanted to know, would you mind if your partner did OnlyFans?
Would you mind?
73% of people said yes.
I wouldn't like it.
I would mind.
Yeah, right.
Whereas 27% said no, I wouldn't mind.
What if we rephrased it and we said, what if your partner was making $300,000 a year
from OnlyFans?
Would you mind?
Yeah, we should have framed it.
Yes, but.
Yes, but.
In tears of income.
Here's the level
that I'm okay with.
But they've got to work
their way up
so you've got to be okay with them.
Like a while ago,
years back,
we talked to that woman
in the Goldie,
in Brizzy or whatever.
She'd bought houses.
Not blue-eyed Kayla Jade.
Oh, my God, she's my favourite.
Oh, no, no, no.
She's a sex worker.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talked.
Was she the one that was trying to get back into V8 supercars?
Yeah, that girl.
Okay, not her.
And she was kind of like, this is the idea.
And she did.
She funded her re-entry to supercars.
Yeah.
Amazing.
And has freehold houses and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's insane.
27% said, no, I wouldn't mind. So, like freehold houses and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's insane. 27% said no, I
wouldn't mind.
So like quarter?
Just under a third
there, just over here.
What's between a
quarter and a third?
There's no number
between three and
four.
27.5.
Yeah, that's it.
You know, however
the rent gets paid, I
don't care.
Yeah, totally.
Some feedback.
Connor said wouldn't
mind as much if I was
also in it.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
No faces though?
There are couples ones.
Yeah.
Ash said it would depend.
Is it just pictures?
Sure.
But anything like videos and toys?
Probably not.
I wonder what drew the line there.
Too much.
Toys, too much.
But just pictures.
Toys, yeah.
Toys.
Toys.
Like a Tamagotchi.
Yeah, why?
Like Lego?
I don't understand. Building Lego in the nude. I'd watch. That's your niche. Far out. Like a Tamagotchi. Yeah, why? Like what? Like Lego? I don't understand.
Building Lego in the nude.
I'd watch.
That's your niche.
Far out.
Take Vaughn's money.
That's your niche.
There you go.
Star Wars Lego.
Done.
I started an OnlyFans in December 2020, a week before I met my partner.
He supported me throughout it and helped me make content.
Have since stopped, though, in April 22.
If you read this out, please make me anonymous.
Thank you. Love you. Love you.
You're anonymous. Oh wow, okay. So they did a couple
of, so what, that was like lockdown. A couple of
seasons there. Hell yeah.
Oh, we got bored, didn't we? Yeah.
A couple of seasons. Do you think OnlyFans
would be as massive if we hadn't all kind of been
locked away? And people
will be like, yeah. Humans
will always find their way to pornography.
If people want to Google at his feet for some cash, sure.
Why not?
I'll even take the photos of them for him.
Mafuz says, as long as he makes six figures a month, I'm absolutely fine with it.
Six figures a month?
You're not getting 100k a month.
Mate, you've got high standards there.
Mamma mia.
Are you kidding me?
Hell no. Really? Okay. Are you kidding me? How? No.
Really? Okay.
My husband told me last night
I should seriously consider giving it a crack
as long as my face isn't in any videos
and maybe only feet stuff to start with.
Yeah, but you don't make as much money without the face.
Yeah.
You said that really
quickly.
If you know my tattoos, then you know my tattoos.
Annie says, no way that's cheating.
The intimacy is just for us.
However, if he just wanted to look, not upload, I'd be okay with that.
Oh, I have a little watch, hey.
Yeah.
Right.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Gen Z, I guess they didn't grow up like us millennials
with a landline in the home,
meaning you'd often have to make a call on the landline
and if somebody else picked up the other landline,
they would hear your conversation.
Brother would listen sometimes.
In the early days before the cordless uni den,
you were kind of on as long as the cord could possibly go.
Sometimes that was enough at our house
to get it through the hallway door and shut it,
but then you were kind of blocking the door and Dad didn't like that. No.
But we loved the phone chat because it was our main form of communication.
Yeah. Well, Gen Z, and this is a massive problem Britain's firms
are facing. They're hiring Gen Z staff who find
making challenging phone calls or accepting phone calls intimidating
so they just avoid them.
Yeah.
But that's a shame because it's probably part of your job.
Well, that's the thing.
This isn't just like not calling on a personal reason or not answering a personal phone call, which they also don't like.
This is where they're being paid to answer calls.
Yeah.
Or it's part of the job that they're paid to do that they're like,
I just don't. And then they apparently
send things like they'll watch the phone ring
and let it go to voicemail and then send an email
saying, sorry I missed that. I'm in a meeting.
Is there anything I can do?
Deflect to the written form.
Well, part of Shannon's job is answering
the phones. When you call 0800 dial ZM
you'll either get Shannon or Carwin
on our show. Shannon, how do you feel
about phone calls?
I'm definitely the phone friend of the friend group because of this job.
Like I've kind of become desensitised,
but my friends...
So if you need to make a booking for something,
your friends will be like,
no, you do it, you call, you call.
I will get like a text being like,
Shannon, can you book dinner?
Yeah, right.
Okay, the amount of time it took.
But I will say I would prefer
if I have an issue with a company or something
I'll definitely talk to the little robot
as opposed to calling them.
These are the calls when you have to say to someone
hey, that's not good enough.
Or like, I'm unhappy with this.
Yeah, that's where I do see it.
I'm so good at this.
I've been battling with my couch.
You know, broken couch.
Oh my gosh, what is the update?
You're asking me, Kim.
But I've been having very curt phone calls about this.
I said you should go into the store and just not leave
and chain yourself to the store.
I did, and I said to them, one of my favourite sentences was,
this has been my problem, I'm now making it yours.
Yeah, I love it.
How good was that?
Oh, yes. This has been my problem. I'm now making it yours. Yeah, I love it. How good was that?
Gen Z could only ever dream of being that audacious on a phone call. Yeah, maybe I'd send a voice note.
No, you can't voice note.
You'd have an issue.
You have to be very for it.
I'd be like, hey, just sending a voice note because it's easier than typing it.
Yeah.
I'm actually not the happiest, but I get it.
You guys are doing your best. No worries if this doesn't work. No, but, like, I get it. Like, you guys are doing your best.
No worries if, like, this doesn't work.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
None of the no worries stuff.
No, no, get rid of your no worries.
Full of worries.
Worries.
Worries McGee.
Okay, I think we should do a practice run with Shannon.
Shannon, you should call 0800-DARLZM.
Like, leave.
Yeah.
Okay, bye.
And your complaint is against Fletch and his sloppy broadcasting.
Okay, and you're going to...
No, it should be against Vaughn.
What did I do wrong?
What did Vaughn do wrong?
If anyone's done anything wrong here, Fletch, it's you.
Oh, it's you.
You're sloppy broadcasting.
I haven't been sloppy.
There's been a lot of sloppy broadcasting.
And Shannon, we need you to be forthright and no apologies.
That's the way to do it.
Unapologetic.
Okay.
She's left the studio.
We've got to train her.
We'll just wait now.
She probably doesn't even know
how to use the phone
to call the number.
God, look at her.
She's like,
what is it?
Here it comes.
Okay, oh,
Karlyn's answering.
She couldn't even dial.
She had to work out the numbers,
didn't she?
She's having a panic attack.
She can't look at her.
It took her a while.
Okay.
I couldn't remember
how to dial numbers.
Shannon, this is a role play. This is the first problem.'t remember how to dial numbers. Shannon, this is a role play.
This is the first problem.
You don't even dial numbers.
Shannon, this is a role play.
Good morning, ZM.
How can we help you?
Hi.
How are you?
Oh, my God.
Spit it out.
It doesn't matter how I am.
Try again.
Hello, ZM.
How can we help you?
Hi.
I'm Shannon.
What's your name?
No, it doesn't matter.
It's probably Hayley. I always do say my name. It's Vaughan Smith here. It's Vaughan Smith. That Hi, I'm Shannon. What's your name? No, it doesn't matter. It's probably Hayley.
I always do say my name.
It's Vaughan Smith here.
It's Vaughan Smith here.
That's what I always say.
I always say it's Vaughan Smith here.
I'm trying to build rapport.
You always tell.
No rapport.
You're making a complaint.
I'll tell the person that answers the phone the entire problem
and then they'll stop it in and they'll be like,
okay, we'll transfer you to someone and then you get transferred
and I have to tell them the whole story as well.
And then they transfer you to someone else.
Yeah.
No, I think you need to come in and say,
hello, my name is Shannon.
I'd like to lay a formal complaint.
Okay, who am I complaining about?
Fletch.
No, complain about Hayley for repeating her mints.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Okay.
Good morning, ZM.
How can we help you?
Hiya.
My name is Shannon Truman.
I was really offended about...
Wait, I'm sorry you're complaining. Hiya. And you hit us with a hiya. Hiya. Hiya, my name's Shannon Trim and I was really offended about... Wait, I'm sorry, you're complaining
and you hit us with a hiya. Hiya!
Hiya! We need some formal
language. Good morning. I came in hot.
I got this. I got this. Morning.
Good morning, ZDM. Not even good morning. Morning.
Oh, yes, morning. Take the good out of it.
Morning. Hello, ZDM, how can
we help you? Morning, my name's
Shannon. I was really happy to be here.
I'm in trouble. I'm too happy. Are you making a complaint or not? My name's Shannon. I was really happy to be here. Too happy. More curtain. I'm in trouble.
Too happy.
Are you complaining or not?
My name's Shannon.
I'm trying.
Okay.
This is Shannon.
Morning, this is Shannon.
I've got a...
Yeah, yeah, perfect.
Okay, ready.
Good morning, ZDM.
How can we help you?
Morning, this is Shannon.
I'm mad.
I liked it.
I like the tone until you laugh.
She just freaked her voice out.
Oh, good morning, Shannon.
How can we help you?
Yeah, look,
I think you've got to get someone else to complain
if you ever need to complain.
You're too sweet.
Why, sweetie?
I just wanted to say
I thought the duvet thing was dumb
and Fletch sucks.
Yeah, I mean,
the people at Spurge...
We've got a sucks text.
Good duvet.
I'm so sorry that you felt that way.
This was early when Fletch proposed
to do a break on the show
of how often you should wash your duvet.
A lot of people text in asking how long should it be between duvet washes.
It was a great, informative break.
Well, Shannon, thank you so much for your complaint,
and that feedback will be passed on to Fletch.
Is there anything else that we can do for you today?
Can I have some money, please?
I'm a bit poor.
Classic Gen Z.
Oh, Gen Z, eh?
Got no money, got no manners.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hay manners. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.

The first April Fool's,
but also the day where the golden visas are open
to people overseas who have a lot of money
and we're going, come to New Zealand,
invest it in here and you can stay.
You can live in the most beautiful place in the world.
And I tell you who was really excited about this when the idea was announced at the end of last year.
Americans.
Yeah, because obviously Trump.
Totally.
You look at our country and you think quiet.
Sort of a little bit politically neutral a lot of the time.
Out of the range of most nuclear weapons.
Most of them.
Unless they're fired from a submarine.
Yeah. We'll go that sorted. How do we range of most nuclear weapons. Most of them. Unless they're fired from a submarine. Yeah.
We'll go that sorted.
How do we have that sorted?
Because our navy.
Yeah.
Have you not been?
I've been laying sea mines for weeks now.
Have you?
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, well, we've got that sorted then.
I didn't realise you'd sorted that.
Oh, I had that.
I said I'd do that.
I've been laying sea mines.
Amazing.
Oh, thank God.
Okay, what about the ferries?
I've told the ferries where the sea mines are. Okay, great. Fantastic.
My worry is with the inter-islander
the way it is. Yeah. If it loses power
and drifts. Oh, right. Okay.
Mind you, that would take care of the inter-islander
and we could probably claim insurance.
Good from you. Let's brew on this. Yeah.
So the golden visa is different
from the digital nomad visa that we
offer, which is like you can stay here for longer as long as you're like touring around
and you work digitally.
This one, digitally.
Digitally.
And this one, the golden visa is if you invest enough,
we will give you permanent residency.
Okay, so if you're super rich, you can live here.
So for the Americans, I was like, okay, you want to come to our country.
You've got to learn some things about our culture.
Yeah.
And just sort of like, I guess I don't really know how I feel
about having so many Americans coming into the country.
Right, okay.
And so I thought I would just teach them our national anthem.
Okay, great.
God defend New Zealand.
Okay, fantastic.
Should we stand for the national anthem?
Okay.
Always.
Hang on, I've got to adjust my microphone.
I might do that thing all blacks do where I kind of just mouth along.
Yeah, because you don't know the words.
I'm not 100% sure on the...
Okay.
Are you Dickie Chord?
Is it Dickie?
Yeah, we've got a Dickie Chord.
Now we've got a second Dickie Chord.
My Dickie Chord's got a Dickie Chord.
Does that feel Dickie?
Oh, it does.
You've got to hold it. You've got to hold it.
You've got to hold it.
Yeah, there we go.
But I've got to hold my heart at the same time.
I'll come and hold your heart and you hold the Dickie chord.
Don't touch my boobs.
And then I'll also hold Fletcher's Dickie chord.
Okay, here's the national anthem for the Americans.
God, no, please don't come down here.
I know you want to, but we don't care.
You're quite abrasive to the ear.
So please stay in your, quote, free land.
Your country has turned to shit, but you've made your bed, so now sleep in it.
We don't think we're a good fit.
Hand on heart, please, Vaughan.
Okay.
Don't come to New Zealand.
Quite a lot of verses in this, by the way.
Okay, we're looping back.
From the outside we look grand.
But trust us, it's not that great in New Zealand.
Sometimes there's just too much sand and we don't have Wi-Fi here.
Yes, we live in huts made of clay and giant birds hunt us night and day. So just stay in the USA. It sounds so much cooler there. Oh, wow. Wow. What if I told you you're not allowed
To just have guns in the land of the long white cloud
Health care is free but we have very silly vows
You will barely understand.
Yes, our wine is really good.
And if you haven't been to Queenstown, you definitely should.
But then return to your own hood And don't move to New Zealand
Amen.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
That's the national anthem I learned.
That's the national anthem.
Yeah.
That was it.
Please don't come to New Zealand.
No, I'll do it in today.
Okay.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
It's April 1st, isn't it?
April Fool's, yeah.
Yeah, which means April Fool's.
We always talk about this on the show because tomorrow,
when we're looking on the internet and we're reading the news and stuff,
that's when we're going to get hit with all the American April Fool's jokes.
They just love it. They do, yeah. They do, eh? Whereas in New Zealand, we're sort of like, we're going to get hit with all the American April Fool's jokes. That, like, they just love it.
They do, yeah.
They do, eh?
Whereas in New Zealand, we're sort of like, we're all good.
Someone might release a fart candle, you know, and we go, hee hee hee.
But.
That is what we say.
We do say hee hee hee.
But people like pulling pranks today, all day long.
Yes.
Silly pranks.
Doing dumb things.
And this got us thinking, when did the prank go wrong?
Because sometimes when you pull a prank on someone
and they're not like open or receptive to it,
it all turns to chaos.
Or things go too far.
There are some famous April Fool's pranks in history.
I found a list.
A lot of them involve radio stations.
Oh, it just does not surprise me at all. They are loving April Fool's pranks in history. I found a list. A lot of them involve radio stations. Oh, it just does not surprise me at all.
They love an April Fool's.
There was some legendary old New Zealand,
like I'm talking 1930s.
Didn't one April Fool's,
we learnt about it at radio school.
Right.
Where I learnt the trade.
Didn't Holmesy pulled a few in the day too?
Holmesy pulled a few.
Some real famous guy was like,
there's this massive swarm of bees.
Like they can see it on radar or something.
And it's coming to New Zealand.
And the only way to keep them out of your house is to smear jam around your door.
And all these people were smearing jam all over their houses.
I love that.
It was like this legendary.
I mean, it's sort of harmless, isn't it?
Hose that off at the end.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm up for a good prank. Yeah. But sometimes it does go a bit far, isn't it? Hose that off at the end. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm up for a good prank.
Yeah, but sometimes it does go a bit far, doesn't it?
I know.
Or like you go to prank something and something actually goes wrong.
Yeah.
Let's pretend that we're going to fill his car with water
and then you're like, oh, no.
Now that's a full insure.
He's just been diagnosed with hepatitis.
And now he's got a wet car.
This was a terrible day.
Yeah, he comes out and he's like, I can't believe it.
A, B, and C?
Yeah.
But I feel like people will have stories of pranks that they've tried to pull,
little gags that they tried to play on their friends,
and it just went wrong.
That weren't necessarily for April Fools.
It doesn't have to be on April Fools when you're just like, let's prank them.
Let's pull a little joke.
You know that thing?
This used to happen with girls all the time. You'd be like, let's prank
her at the party and then she'd burst into tears
and the party was over. Yeah.
Girls are bitches, eh? Girls are crazy.
Girls are crazy, eh? Girls are nuts.
Psychos. Girls are psycho, eh?
Psychos. Like it's so much fun
to be one, but oh my god,
mad. Like we're toxic. We're bad
news. Oh yeah, absolutely. We're
amongst the worst. You're the worst of us. We're amongst the worst. Oh, my God. You're the worst of us.
We're amongst the worst.
We're the pits.
But you're lunatics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You guys are just the worst of humanity.
Yeah, yeah.
But we're nuts.
We're terrible.
So this is what we want to know today.
And it doesn't need to be an April Fool's prank.
But when did a prank go too far?
You see it all the time with stag do's.
Oh, I hate that.
I hate it so much. Like pranking the stag and it just goes too far. You see it all the time with stag do's. Oh, I hate that. I hate it so much.
Like pranking the stag and it just
goes too far. Yeah, or someone
just messaged in those last days of high
school pranks. Yes!
Your daughter was going to be okay and
then you actually did serious property damage.
Yeah, what was that? Who was the lawn
that went on fire? Whose
lawn? Wasn't there a school whose whole
lawn went ablaze? They wrote a swear word or they drew a CMB in gas and then lit it on fire? Whose lawn? Wasn't there a school whose whole lawn went ablaze? They wrote a swear word
or they drew a CMB
in gas
and then lit it on fire
but because it's the end
of the year
and it was dried
and it spread
and like burnt
the whole school grounds
I remember that.
That's not good.
Okay, 0800-DARLS-IT-M
give us a call now.
You can text her as well.
9696.
Great, the texts
are already coming in.
When did the prank
go wrong?
We're talking about
when the prank went too far.
Yeah, this is the lazy radio version of doing our own April Fools.
We're just talking about when other people's April Fools went badly.
I'm not into April Fools.
It's not one that I enjoy.
Who was I listening to recently?
And they were saying about how they've never been okay with prank shows
because they hate seeing unwilling people being
made out, like seeing
their anxieties. Yeah. And I was like, that kind
of sums up. Who's that comedian
I like? The times have changed.
This is a mum. Who's that comedian I like?
Who's the old man in the pool?
He's a storyteller.
Mike Birbiglia. Mike Birbiglia.
Is that his name? Yes. He's talked about how
pranks, he's never been on board with pranks
because he hates seeing people
unwittingly showing all of their anxieties
which come to the surface.
And I was the same,
punked and stuff.
I could never really get into it
because someone always looked so anxious
and vulnerable.
Yeah, but then Ashton Kutcher
comes out at the end
and he's like,
like slightly excused.
You've been,
boom!
Cut you, Snoop Dogg.
So then I was like, why are you doing this to me?
Steph, when did the prank backfire?
Yeah, so we decided to prank our teacher's car at school.
Was it an end-of-the-year prank or you just wanted to prank?
It was April Fool's, so we still had to live the rest of the school year out with the shave of it. But we did do, we threw egg, flour and shaving cream all over the teacher's car.
Thought it would be a great idea.
Absolutely covered it.
And then it started to rain and we got so upset.
We thought, oh, there goes our prank.
Well, we didn't add water to all of that.
It stripped and bubbled the paint.
Oh my God.
My God.
So you didn't like, you weren't setting up maliciously to ruin the teacher's car. You just thought it would be funny. Oh, my God. My God. So you didn't, like,
you weren't setting up maliciously
to ruin the teacher's car.
You just thought it would be funny.
Not at all.
Yeah.
It was hilarious.
And then we thought it had all gone to waste
when it started to rain.
It just made it worse.
Right.
And so how much did that cost you, Steph?
A couple thousand.
It was in another country,
so things were a bit cheaper, but...
Wait, I just thought you'd pay the insurance.
Wouldn't you just, the teacher be like, I'm not paying.
Yeah, but how many cars have we got, right?
Yeah, so we, it was quite a bit.
Oh, wait, did you say cars, plural, teachers, plural?
No, just one car, just one car.
Just one car.
Oh, just one car.
Oh, my God, that's, wow, so you get to pay.
Okay, that's a lot of after school jobs.
Steph, thanks for your calls and messages in.
That top text.
The girls from my school rode motorbikes shirtless
through the boys' high school as a prank.
This is Marlborough Girls and Marlborough Boys.
I remember this.
It was in the news.
And one girl ran over one of the rugby player's legs and broke it.
That's so good.
It was tick for tack.
That is so funny.
We wrapped all the toilet seats at boarding school.
Turns out the night before, the chicken wasn't quite cooked right.
So everybody was like diarrhea-ing straight onto the clad rack.
Just flying straight onto the floor.
Not a great idea.
The group a couple of years younger than me at school
set a herd of goats loose in the school.
Suffice to say it was chaos and the goats ate all the gardens.
The school did not see the humour of the situation.
I bet.
No, they'll eat anything.
Yeah, they will. April Fool's
Day today. We are
not participating
to each other. I've got no pranks.
I forgot my whoopee cushion.
I've got no pranks. I've got no pranks for my friends
Fletch and Vaughan. So we want to know
when you pulled a prank and it didn't go well.
Wow, some messages. Oh my
God. I love the message that came through.
That was, my friend pranked us by announcing she was pregnant.
Laugh, laugh, laugh.
She was.
She found out a week later.
Ah, lol, as if.
Oh, God, I am pregnant.
Sam, when did the prank backfire?
Well, first of all, long-time listener, first-time caller.
You hit it.
Welcome, welcome, Sam. I felt it, Sam.
I felt it and Hayley saw me reaching for the bell when you said, well,
and I was like, there it is. Welcome, Sam.
No, my heart of mine.
Nice.
So for me, I was in primary school in the UK,
small little village primary school.
I thought it'd be funny to turn the thermostat down for the school
just to make the classroom really cold.
It was the middle of winter.
I wanted to go home early.
It worked.
They didn't realize until after I left school,
and the water froze overnight in the pipes.
Samuel.
Samuel.
Stopped the water for half the village.
Oh, Sammy.
Sam.
Sam the man.
Did they get caught?
You got caught and this was sort of like publicly acknowledged or you got away with it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I owned up to it.
They realised I owned up to it and didn't get in trouble
because I didn't know what I was doing.
Wow.
Sam, you old man.
I was probably seven or eight.
Wow.
What a prankster.
In the middle of winter too.
I think there's another term for it, you little shite.
Oh, my God.
Sam, thanks.
The message is in.
Oh, my God. The message is in.
Oh, my God.
This one's terrible.
I was surprising my grandparents, and I jumped out, and I yelled surprise,
and then my granddad had a heart attack.
No.
But my granddad faked the heart attack to make me feel bad about the surprise.
His heart attack and the surprise gave my grandma an actual heart attack.
What?
Double pranksters. Granddad and you teamed up and tried to kill grandma grandma an actual heart attack. What? Double pranksters.
Granddad and you teamed up and tried to kill grandma.
That was a journey.
You son of a bitch.
That was a journey.
Wow.
Imagine if granddad died.
You'd feel pretty bad.
Oh my God, my brother lit a... Oh my God, if granddad died.
Yeah.
My grand...
Oh, it just went away.
I don't know how to keep it.
My brother lit a firework and put it in my dad's undies,
which were on the washing line
and it blew up the entire washing line
in front of the whole family.
So the whole thing just went whoosh.
What's the prank?
What's the prank of putting fireworks
in someone's underwear
when it's on the lawn?
I'm going to get dad's undies.
Your undies are going to go bang.
Somebody said we had a teacher
who had a habit of throwing open the door,
but it had one of those things
that went and stopped it
from hitting the wall.
Oh, yeah. One day we undid that, took it off, and he flung open the door and it throwing open the door, but it had one of those things that went and stopped it from hitting the wall.
One day we undid that, took it off,
and he flung open the door and it bounced off the doorstop and came back and smashed him in the face.
Oh, far out.
And we got in big trouble.
Yes.
The class below me,
I love that distancing themselves, this texter,
put laxatives in a batch of cupcakes for the teachers
on one of their last days of school.
No.
The English teacher was so sick
and used to be a lawyer
they threatened legal action.
Also, don't eat food
from students. Never.
It's got either marijuana or laxatives in it.
Or poop.
Or fish.
My stepdad and I played a prank
on our mum saying our new jet ski had been impounded
by the district council due to me riding it solo under 14 for the first time.
It backfired when we led her on and between Fairleigh and Timaru there was a 30 minute dead spot where we went to tell her it was a joke but then we lost phone reception for her.
She'd talked to somebody at the council.
Unfortunately, that week before she'd just started working for the district council So all her new workmates rang around to find out
Mum lost her temper with the one she was dealing with
Asking why it would take so long and where the hell is the jet ski
And the council were on the hunt for it
Back in reception we'd missed 15 calls and 20 texts
Did not go down well
Mum didn't speak to us for a week
Because she put a new job in jeopardy
I love the attitude from this texter
Me and my friend stole my boyfriend's car
And wrapped it in wrapping paper inside and out.
He cried and broke up with me on the spot.
It was a Nissan March.
Grow up.
A Nissan March.
To be honest, you shouldn't have probably started dating a guy
that drives a Nissan March.
And this comes from a guy that drives a Suzuki Jimny.
I'm only just above him in the food chain of small, silly cars.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Last Friday, we were doing one of our phone-in topics,
and these are the ones that your nail technician loves.
Have you talked to Sophie?
Did Sophie love this one?
Sophie utterly loved it.
She just, my friend Sophie, who does the nails,
she bloody loves the phoners.
I love on our international podcast family,
which is a closed group on Facebook Facebook that you may request joining on,
but if you haven't been on Facebook
for more than a year,
I'm not going to accept you
because you've got Spambot written all over you.
Yeah, big Spambot energy.
I'm an admin on that page.
I'll accept it.
Well, he loves the power.
Yeah, I'm happy to step back.
I'm a power hungry pig.
So on there,
I love how people are saying,
Sophie will love this one.
I know. I said to her, I was like, you're, Sophie will love this one. I know.
I said to her, I was like,
you're officially a character in our show.
She is officially part of the lore of FEH.
Sophie's going to love this one.
So Sophie would have loved on Friday.
We were going to do, what have you purchased?
But every time you look at it, you're like,
how did I buy that for?
I didn't need it.
We did not know the genie we were letting out of the bottle.
We answered a call from Damien.
And we only had one call on the topic.
We had like three texts before we went to our call.
Apologies to everyone who submitted their stories.
We ran out of time.
And because Damien regaled us with,
I think it's the longest phone conversation we've ever had with a listener.
Yeah, I think it is.
That was like 11 minutes from start to end.
So both the Instagram and the TikTok combined have had 2 million views in just a couple of days.
When Shannon went to upload the Instagram video, Instagram said this video is too long.
No one will watch.
No one is going to watch this.
And Shannon said, I believe in Damien.
Up it went.
And yeah, people have absolutely, if you haven't had the chance,
you simply must.
The podcast from Friday
as well as the videos you can see online,
which at the end of the video
include a picture of the mirror
because that was what he purchased,
a six foot by six foot mirror for 80 bucks.
They didn't know the dimensions beforehand.
And this is just a little segment
of the call we had with Damien.
He comes out with this little piece of bubble wrap going,
do you want me to bring this?
So he's there referring to Kathleen,
his wife that gets introduced into the story,
who now joins us on the phone with her sign of events.
Good morning, Kathleen.
That's the follow-up we all demanded.
Good morning, Kathleen.
Good morning, James.
Good morning.
Is he like this in real life?
Like, are you just like, how was your day?
And then there's a three-hour kind of debrief?
Yeah, yeah, he's got the gift of the gab, that's for sure.
God, yeah.
And then we didn't, I mean, we didn't even know when Damon was on the phone
that Charlotte, your daughter, was standing there.
She was quiet.
She said, yeah, at one point.
I mean, that was great input from her.
Yeah, yeah. Well, she's 10, you know, 10 guys on 17. She was quiet. She said, yeah, at one point. I mean, that was great input from her. Yeah, yeah.
Well, she's 10, you know, 10 going on 17.
Oh, yeah.
I was rolling her eyes while she's listening.
I was going to say the eyes were definitely being rolled at Dad's long-ass story.
Kathleen, I've got to ask.
I'm going to start at the end of the story.
When you look at that mirror on your wall, that 6'6 world map that was supposed to be
for a bathroom, do you still like it?
I don't know.
Like, I've walked past it so many times this morning and just been like, I don't know.
It's a journey piece, though, isn't it?
I really liked it.
Because when we saw the photo, it was not at all like I expected.
Vaughan would like that mirror.
I would love this mirror because I'm somewhat of a nautical man.
He is.
I yearn for the high seas. I would like that mirror. I would love this mirror because I'm somewhat of a nautical man. He is.
I yearn for the high seas and, of course, my sea legs tablets because I get horrendously seasick.
But I liked it.
I liked the mirror.
But it's also become part of your family now.
Yes.
It really has, yeah.
I mean, like, because what happened is we showed –
we're talking about this mirror for the bathroom.
Okay, Kathleen, if I can just pause you.
We don't have the same amount of time as we did on this.
We can't give you this.
I'm far more succinct.
It's okay.
You have to be married to him.
Yeah, yeah.
And he showed it to me and I was like,
oh, I don't really think that's like a bathroom mirror.
But I was like, it's kind of cool.
Like I would think it would look quite good in the lounge.
And I was imagining like maybe it was like poster size.
Yeah.
I guess.
And because you've shown it to me in the context of the bathroom mirror,
I didn't even think about dimensions.
I was just like, yeah, fine.
Like that'll fit in the lounge.
No drama.
Yeah.
And then of course we got there.
Yeah.
So what you were saying, Kathleen, is that this whole palaver,
that is really, as Damien said, that's on you.
Well, I like to think it was a team effort, you know?
Because you ticked off the design, but he hadn't checked the dimensions,
which he did say were in the listing.
Yes, they were embarrassingly in the title of the listing
and it turns out in the body of the listing as well.
So it was a, team effort of,
yeah,
would we say disaster?
I don't know.
No,
honestly.
So much joy,
so much joy.
There were also
a lot of comments,
Kathleen,
about the Duchess,
which was featured
in the story.
That was meant
to be picked up.
Did that get picked up
afterwards?
That did get picked up,
yeah.
Okay.
After we did a detour home
and did a quick, furious
like, we're really sorry we're going to be like
an hour late because we've got to go all the way home
to then come all the way up to our
to my sister-in-law who lives like
up the Carthy Coast and we're down in the Wellington.
Yeah, it's a big drive.
Okay. Yeah. It was just
not quite the quick stop off
for a trade me pick up that we were expecting.
See, I feel like if Damien was telling this story,
he would have given us a blow by blow about his time through transmission gully
on the drive up.
Absolutely, he would have.
Yeah, yeah.
And what the coast was doing that day with the tide in.
Yeah, yeah.
And then he would have made me say, I saw Kapiti Island.
That reminded me of that time that the All Blacks brother got lost at sea
and lost it on the.
That's right, that's right.
Could have had a slight digression there.
Have you heard from people who either heard it on the radio
or have seen it online since?
Yeah, so actually one of my friends messaged me and was like,
oh, my God, I wasn't sure at first.
And then I heard your name and I was like,
this is 100% Damien and Kathleen.
Like, Damien's on the blower, get him off, get him off.
And then another friend messaged me just like yesterday
and was like, this is the best thing I've heard in ages.
Honestly, I mean.
It truly brought me a lot of joy.
It brought us so much joy.
It must be an absolute laugh sometimes to listen to Daylene.
Sometimes.
Well, Kathleen, thank you so much for chatting with us.
Honestly, succinct.
Yeah, that was a good chat.
To the point.
All the facts.
I just say to Shannon, it wouldn't be as good as Damien's telling.
No, no.
For Shannon, it's an easier edit than a 15-minute yarn
about picking up a mirror from Trademark.
Play Zed-Ems, Fleshborn and Hayley.
I've actually got a bit of apple stuck between my throat and nose.
Oh!
I hate that!
It came out!
It came out!
You whirled about.
There is nothing worse.
That's the worst part about vomiting.
That's not on, you didn't get that on video, did you?
Yeah, she did.
Oh, I'm going to be a thing on the internet.
You're never going to get laid again.
Yeah, oh my God.
Your last shag was your last shake.
I hope you enjoyed the last time you...
Wowzers.
Made love.
Why don't we just mock me again all day?
It's a lot of fun to do this.
Let it continue, I reckon, as well.
A little bit of a pile on.
So, Vaughn, are you watching a new show?
Yes.
I started...
I'm doing too many weeklies.
I'm doing too many weeklies.
I've got so many weeklies on the go.
One just ended.
Richard just ended.
Don't, don't, don't.
I'm not going to.
This is not a spoiler alert for me to say.
That man's body is a temple.
I want to climb it like a clown.
I want to climb it.
You climb the front, I'll climb the back.
Yes, and we'll meet at the top.
And we'll be like, what an adventure.
It's crazy up here.
He's like eight foot tall.
He's six foot five, but looks massive.
And he's an even bigger guy.
In season three of Richard, he's even a bigger guy,
but he doesn't take his shirt off, so he's obviously not stacked.
Well, then why be on the show?
Okay.
Still straight?
Me?
It doesn't feel like it, eh?
It doesn't feel like it.
Less and less.
There's a couple of, like, show just gets gayer and gayer.
Henry Cavill.
Henry Cavill and now this guy, Alan Richardson.
That's a body and a half,
but Henry Cavill's kind of like all around for me.
I'd let them high five.
Sabrina Carpenter!
Hayley Sproul!
A couple of men saying hello and having a high five.
Don't make it filthy. When they see each other, I'm just saying, I'd let hello and having a high five. Yeah, okay. Don't make it filthy.
When they see each other, I'm just saying,
I'll let them have a bloody high five.
How are you?
So, that's finished and I've taken on a new weekly,
The Studio, which is Seth Rogen's new show.
Now, this is on Apple TV?
Yeah, it's on Apple TV.
He plays a guy that has just become the head of a movie company.
Yeah.
Like a studio.
And he's trying to balance this wanting to create artistic movies
with having to make money.
And it's the guy that he always makes movies and TV shows with.
Evan Goldberg.
Yeah, Evan Goldberg.
So apparently it's really good.
Catherine O'Hara in it.
Catherine O'Hara's amazing.
One of my favourite actresses.
She's so good.
Catherine Hahn is in it, and she's amazing.
Who's my other favourite actress.
I love them.
Yeah, they're so good.
Special guests. Bryan Cranston is in it and she's amazing. Who's my other favourite actress. I love them. Yeah, they're so good. Special guests.
Bryan Cranston.
Amazing.
Is in it.
And then just all these Hollywood people playing themselves.
Steve Buscemi, director Peter Berg,
Zac Efron's in an episode coming up,
Johnny Knoxville, Zoe Kravitz, Greta Lee was in the one,
Martin Scorsese's in the first couple of episodes
and like Martin Scorsese, legendary director,
but nails it as an actor.
Wow.
I was watching it and I had those laugh out loud moments
where something startles you. I'm going to start that today.
Such a good show.
But the problem is you watch it
and then you go, wait!
And this is where I start getting mocked.
So before the show, I was like
this is great, I love the show, you guys should watch it.
And Fletcher's like,
I'll put it in the show. By everybody. I was like, this is great. I love the show. You guys should watch it. And Fletcher's like, I'll put it in the calendar. Hold on, I'm going to have a Google.
May 21st, final episode is.
So on May 22nd, Fletcher puts in his calendar,
start watching The Studio.
It's so lame.
Yes, what's wrong with that?
It's so lame.
If you go, we just, I just had a look at Fletcher's calendar before.
Holidays, leaving parties, and when a show finishes so we can binge it.
Yeah. That's literally
my life. I know. I say it from
a complete point of jealousy. The dude is
over here living.
The guy's biggest worry is
oh heck, that show I wanted to watch is finished.
I'd better sit down and with
my day once I've exercised with nothing
else to do and watch it
before I eat a meal for one.
His biggest hardship is having to wait a week
from one episode to the next.
This is the thing.
I'm watching a few shows at the moment,
week to week, White Lotus and The Pit,
which the last episode of The Pit finished
and I was just like, need the next one, need the next one.
You're just so white-meaning.
You do Lotus week to week as well,
which is very unusual,
but you were worried about spoilers.
Yeah, it's too hard for that.
That show's just every week has different memes.
It's just such a nerdy thing to calendar.
This show has officially finished its season, and then you start.
It's so funny that you have all these shows in your calendar being like,
tomorrow I get to start at the beginning.
We're like, we've already watched it by then.
No one does the dump episodes anymore, right?
No, they're not.
No, they've all kind of...
Netflix does some.
Netflix does, yeah.
What, like a half dump?
Yeah.
Or they'll do like
three episodes.
A quarter dump.
A quarter dump.
Hey, we did a quarter dump.
Yeah.
You know you're going to
have to finish that one.
Go back.
Go back.
You know your day's
going to be ruined.
But it's funny because
their whole thing when
all the streaming services
started was, we're not like network television.
We're not going to stream you long.
You can binge it all now.
And now they're like, oh, they're back to ads and episodes weekly.
So they've just basically gone back to traditional television.
The three episodes the first week that gets you really amped.
And then you have to wait.
And then you have to wait week to week.
I've got a solution for that.
You put the end date
in your diary
and then you watch it
all at once.
God, just like,
he needs some problems
in his diary.
I'm looking at my diary
right now,
I'm like,
that's a stressful thing,
that's a big thing there.
Oh my God,
I've got to get to that
and yours is,
watch.
I don't put anything
in my diary.
I don't want to freak myself out.
I've got stressful things
coming up.
Let me just look.
Anzac Day.
That's very stressful for you because of course
you fought in one of the armed conflicts.
Well, I remember the war.
Obviously.
We've got a leaving party for our friend James.
Oh my God. The platter this man has to
organise. I mean, he's got to get his head around that.
He's got to get some cheese balls.
Also, we need to talk about how they change rations.
Oh my God. I saw they had rations at the weekend. Oh, we're going to talk about it now. We've got cheese balls. Also, we need to talk about how they change rations. Oh, my God.
I saw I had rations at the weekend.
Oh, we're going to talk about it now.
Dude, it's already 27 past eight.
I've got to factor that out.
Shall I write it down for later?
Yeah.
Rations.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow on the show.
If you're listening to the show right now, do yourself a favour.
Go get a bag of rations today.
My God.
We're discussing tomorrow.
My God.
We should get a bag of rations for the show.
Yeah.
And discuss that.
Bluebird.
Yeah. We're watching you. We should get a bag of rations for the show. Yeah. And discuss that. Bluebird. Yeah.
We're watching you.
We're watching.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
It's Upside Down Week at Fact of the Day.
A whole lot of facts about upside down things.
And today I want to talk about being upside down and the word swims.
Anything pop to mind when I say swims? Because when you switch it upside down, it says swims.
Bingo.
She's got a private education.
Because the M becomes a W, the W becomes an M.
But the S remains an S.
That's what today's fact of the day is about.
Do you know what that's called?
Just you wait, young man.
Just you wait.
Look at him.
He's all excited.
All right.
Excited.
Any ideas?
A flippant, flippant, flippant.
Flippantectomy.
Flippantectomy is what I was thinking too.
It's a flippantectomy.
That's actually where you get your feet turned into flippers.
Okay.
Sorry.
It was a guess.
Mermaid kinks and like to swim real fast.
It's called an ambigram.
An ambigram.
An ambigram is a word that can be rotated or reflected
and still says the same word.
Other examples?
Noon.
I just did that one and my head flipped around. Was that what that noise was? That was you mentally flipping a word. Other examples. Noon. I just did that one and my head flipped around.
Was that what that noise was?
That was you mentally flipping a word.
So mom.
But that is an ambigram upon itself and a reflection
if you put the mirror at the end of the word.
Because, of course, if you put it on the top,
it'll say wow.
Yes.
Mom.
Wow.
Wow.
And in the same way, wow does it.
Oxo, you know, oxo cubes?
Yeah.
They do it.
Yeah.
And that works every which way.
Yeah, it does.
You can put a mirror on any side of that word and it will work.
Okay.
And SOS works as well.
Some of the other words are dollop.
Yes.
Because the P becomes a D and the D becomes a P.
Oh, you flip that way.
Down, yeah, yeah.
This one's really interesting.
It says, with certain font styling,
the word motel can become a rotational ambigram.
Oh, yeah, like because then the W's, the M becomes L's,
I guess when it's square like that.
I can see it in my brain.
It works that way as well.
So, yeah, those are examples of ambergrams.
Ambergrams.
Toots are fun ambergram.
But that's also just a palindrome.
It's the same for it as it is backwards.
Swims is the exciting one because it's, of course,
not just a palindrome, which is the same thing for it
as it is backwards.
It's all fascinating stuff.
Really, I'm loving Upside Down Week.
You're loving Upside Down Week?
Yeah, it's so much better than Calendar Week.
I don't know why, historically, we keep going back to shit on calendar week.
I don't know why we keep bringing it up either.
We actually had to delete calendar week off the podcast
because people were just complaining so much.
There's no trace of that abomination that was calendar week.
We were so embarrassed.
We removed it from the trace of the internet.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's gone.
So today's fact of the day is that a word such as swims
that can be read upside down that reads the same way as it does right way up
is called an ambigram.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Play ZM's slash Vaughan and Hayley.
Yeah, you'll be driving along.
You'll be driving along in your car.
You'll be driving along on a road.
Yeah.
And you'll be behind a car and you'll be like, what's that?
And you'll have a little bit of a look.
And it's got truck nuts.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's truck nuts.
I love it so much.
You're like, who's put truck nuts. Yeah. Yeah, there's truck nuts. I love it so much.
And you're like, who's put truck nuts on their car?
That's weird and horrible.
And now I have to imagine the car has testicles.
Do you think the South Island has more truck nuts than New Zealand? Yes, 100%.
You don't really see them around Auckland.
No.
Do you know what I mean?
Or Wellington.
They are like fake testicles that hang off the tow bar.
Every time I see them, my day gets better.
No, not me.
I love them.
It ruins my day.
I hate them.
Why does everyone know why I do it?
Why are you a prude?
I'm not a prude.
You are a prude.
You're so square-minded.
And then my mother-in-law bought her nephews for Christmas,
sorry, my nephews, her grandsons, truck nuts for their crocks.
Crock nuts.
And these kids are like 10 and 8.
Good stuff.
And everyone's laughing.
And I'm just like, yuck. Croc nuts. And these kids are like ten and eight. Good stuff. And everyone's laughing and I'm just like,
yuck.
I'm laughing.
Maybe I'll get some Birkenstock croc.
Croc nuts.
Croc nuts.
Yeah, go yeah.
Birkenstocks do stock nuts.
Birk nuts.
Birk nuts, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
So an Idaho governor
in America,
the state of Idaho,
has signed a bill
criminalising exposed breasts,
boo,
and truck nuts.
But yeah, go on, knock yourself out and buy all the semi-automatic weapons and ammunition
you need.
Oh, go crazy.
Knock yourself out.
Feel free to have a Confederate flag, you know, hanging from your house.
That's fine.
And have some horrendously outdated views.
Yes.
But no truck nuts.
The Idaho bill takes effect immediately
through emergency clause.
That's how much he was like,
put them titties away
and I don't want to see any truck nuts.
Yeah, this is-
Immediate, like emergency clause.
These are the ones that get caught in public toilets
with other men.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They always try to outlaw the gays
until they get caught in the gays.
These are the politicians that get caught on Grindr, eh?
Staunchly homophobic with a Grindr profile.
Or having affairs on their wife.
Yeah.
Every time it happens.
Every time.
Yeah.
So, truck nuts are banned.
I want to talk about now, what do you think should be banned?
Oh, $800 at M-Tex thing.
Like any 9696, if you could ban anything.
I just mentioned Crocs before.
I know some people want to ban Crocs.
You know what?
I love mine.
Okay. I love my Crocs. It's like, people want to ban Crocs. You know what? I love mine. Okay. I love my Crocs.
It's like, what do you hate so much?
What really gets you going?
What do you want to see banned? Yeah, we're not getting political here. No, no, no, no, no.
Like the silly things that you hate.
Yuck. Yuck there.
It gives you the ick to the point
where you're like, no one should have that.
Yeah, microfiber cloths.
Why don't you like cloths?
It catches on dry parts
of the skin and goes,
yes!
There you go, they do.
When it snags on you,
you're like, far out.
When it snags on you
and it talks to your nervous system
in a, I don't know,
an unknown binary code
and your nervous system,
of course,
has to make you go,
yeah, freak out!
Just wipe.
Maybe you should
sort out your skin.
I'm a gym bra. Oh, you've got a gym bra. Oh, yeah, I've got a calluses bra. Yeah, you've out your skin. I'm a gym bra.
Oh, you've called.
Oh, yeah.

Yeah, bra.
Size to lift too much, bra.
What am I going to do?
Yeah.
Not use microfiber cloth.
Don't like them.

Oh, yeah.
It's rolling in fucking fast.
Text in.
Join couple Facebook pages.
Oh, yes.
They should ban those.
Not allowed by law.
See, you should be allowed truck nuts, but not joint Facebook profiles.
Makes sense.
Oh, no, I'm afraid

of truck nuts,
we're getting rid
of everything.
0800DARLS.M

You can text through

Some great tips coming in.
What do you think
should be banned?
Oh, my gosh.
We've opened.
It's almost a vent.
Do you know what I mean?
It feels a bit like a vent.
All we've opened here is a can of worms. Yeah, big can of worms and they're squirming. Big can of worms. We've opened. It's almost a vent. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? It feels a bit like a vent.

Yeah, big can of worms, and they're squirming.
Big can of worms.
We want to know what you want to see banned.
The things that you just cannot stand.
Not, like, serious things.
Someone said, I'm only 32 years old,
but loud cars trigger my inner 80-year-old.
Yeah.
I have a three-year-old son,
and I taught him when he hears a loud car
to shake his fist in the air and yell,
hooligan.
Hooligan!
Loud cars should be banned.
Men wearing no socks or showing no socks with leather shoes.
Dude, that is, you are so on point.
That's ick.
No, no, bleh shoes.
Wear a crew, like wear a proper long sock.
Just grow up.
Frosty ankles as well.
Banned pajamas at the supermarket have some bloody dignity.
Oh no, that's fine.
That's fine.
I love seeing someone
in their jammies
with a robe over the top
of the supermarket
like they've put on
their going out jacket.
Yeah.
No one's going to notice
I've got a dress coat on.
Now we've got a real show fan here.
Green effing pen, they said.
We don't like it.
We don't support it here.
No, we're not a green pen.
We don't do green pen.
Long nails on guys.
Yes.
Such an ick
when you see it.
Even when you see it on Instagram, you're like, oh.
When they haven't cut them for a...
When they haven't cut them, they haven't trimmed them.
Don't touch me with those.
Or they've got like dirt under them.
Yeah, oh, dirt.
I don't know, sometimes hot.
Oh, really?
Like hardwood man.
Yeah, you keep a bit of dirt.
Oh, dirt under your finger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then you chew on it.
No.
And you're like gritty and that's...
You're just getting legionnaires.
You're just immunising yourself.
Yeah.
Oh, there's some racism there.
Not going to read that one out.
You should revisit
the basic make-up of your life.
Chocolate limes.
You know the boiled lime
outside of the chocolate inside?
What?
What?
Like a lolly?
Yeah.
The thought of them
and their sour but shocking sweet
causes shudders in my core.
I'm going to have to try one of those.
I'm going to have to try one of those too I'm going to have to try one of those too.
Shower curtains.
We all just felt it on your leg, eh?
Or in your upper leg and thigh and ass.
Your ass and you're like...
The state of Idaho passed an emergency bill that has banned...
Exposed breasts.
And truck nuts.
Two things I love.
Yeah.
You love both, I love one. Yeah. nuts. Two things I love. Yeah. You love both.
I love one.
Yeah.
Fletch loves the other.
Fletch loves the truck nuts.
You love the boobies. I love them both.
I'm crafting an email to HR about that.
Are you?
Oh, come on now.
Don't be a pussy, mate.
It's just a joke.
Go man up.
What's wrong with you?
Somebody on Reddit.
How do I back up?
Where can I find
a set of truck nuts
in New Zealand?
Seriously,
impossible to find locally.
But Etsy,
Amazon,
support local.
When it comes to nuts,
Fletch likes to support local.
Don't you have a lathe?
Could you lathe us
some truck nuts
out of a fine wood?
You could lathe,
you could carve.
Carve us.
Okay, Amazon.
Jesus,
that's so veiny.
Yeah,
shipping to New Zealand,
$19.20. You're going to go on AliExpress for a team you.
A team you.
Good stuff.
God, I tell you what, if you had a car fletch,
I'd be chucking some truck nuts on that.
They must make them for the back of a bike,
underneath the bike seat.
These would work under a bike.
Bike nuts.
Maybe I'd get some bike nuts.
We want to know what you want to ban,
the silly things or the things that you just cannot stand.
Georgia, do you have one?
Absolutely those skinny jeans that have the ribs on the knees,
you know, the dudes ones.
And they're so tight.
So tight.
So tight.
And the stitch on the knees are always like white or something.
Yeah, they're so tight.
What about dudes that wear white stitched jeans?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you Shania Twain? Yeah, all right, yeah, yeah. Who are you, Shania Twain?
All right, Shania.
Get out of here, Shania Twain.
Also, Vaughn's going to buy jeans today,
and I feel like you should go with him.
I know.
I worry for our boy.
Yeah.
I'm going to the warehouse.
I plan to buy some.
The warehouse has good jeans.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I'm planning on buying all of my clothes from the warehouse
from here on out.
Right.
The lot.
Okay.
Except for my knickers.
I'll still go to Farmer's.
Shop's around.
I'll wait for a Red Dot special
and buy some nice knickers.
I've got one at the moment actually.
Do they own knickers?
Beauty and Fragrance.
Sorry.
Beauty and Fragrance.
We only go to
Kim's Warehouse for that.
Yeah.
Which I'll be going to today.
Unbelievable.
I forgot.
You betrayed the show sponsor.
Get out.
No, you can leave the studio.
Well, get out George.
Off you go. Get out. How does it feel to have studio. Well, get out, Georgia. Off you go.
Get out.
Take your laptop and get out.
Don't.
Guys, I'm going red.
Get out of here, Georgia.
Get out of here.
Get your laptop.
Go.
Some messages.
Get out of here.
Somebody said they made their own truck nuts.
Two tennis balls inside some flesh-coloured stockings.
I feel like the fluoro would be poking through.
This is true.
You might need to paint your balls if you put them in the scrotum there.
LED headlights.
Someone said I drive a low car.
Yep, they want those banned.
And I always high beam them.
I'm like, hey, pal, high beam.
And then they hit me with their actual LED headlight high beams,
and it's blinding.
They're a lot brighter, aren't they?
They are.
Yeah.
They are.
People asking for things outside supermarkets, like donations and stuff.
Ban them.
Like it's impossible to get into the supermarket where I'm about to be absolutely reamed for a lettuce
without someone asking me for more money.
And I'm just like, you or the lettuce, dude.
I can't do both.
I always give it as well.
I'm just, I can't.
I'm so charitable.
You get got.
Yeah.
And then you spend the next few weeks trying to call them and canceling it.
Like cancel that. Did I doing it. Like, cancel that.
Did I do a subscription?
No, cancel that.
One off.
Concrete channels that they build on roads for the cycleways.
Concrete channels they should build?
What's wrong with that?
There's a lot of bicyclist hate coming in on the channel.
Is there?
You know, I go, I'm a bicyclist.
But they'll like you when you've got your bike nuts on.
Now, there's a fun bike.
There's a guy that wants a truck.
But I don't want to be riding along and the nuts are banging on.
Dinging.
They would.
That swinging bang under your seat.
They would.
They would be slapping against you.
Or familiar.
It would feel sort of strangely familiar.
Dang it, love.
Gosh, why does that feel recognisable?
Hayley Jones. Frow. I'm having fun with my friends. You get out with Georgia too. Okay, let does that feel recognisable? Hayley, chance.
Bro.
I'm having fun with my friends.
You get out with Georgia too.
Okay, let's leave Georgia.
Everybody get out.
