Yeah, Rolling Stone Magazine have released the top 250 albums of the 21st century. What, are we just going to go through 250?

Starting point is 00:04:06 Taylor Swift was second. Beyonce was number one. Not that I think Beyonce's the best artist, but I just thought that magazine would. That's where you'd go. And that was all based on record sales and tour sales and cultural impact and a lot of things. Now they've released the 250 best albums of the 21st century.
Starting point is 00:04:25 So 250. We'll start there. I'll start with number 250. We'll go all through. And we'll just work through the day. This could just be the show. The whole list. In 250th, genuinely, NSYNC, no strings.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Like, this is a great list, by the way. Go on rollingstone.com to look at the whole thing because it's rap pop, like, um, a bit of rock and roll. You might find some of those albums you used to always listen to, like in the 2000s. Oh my God,

Number four on the list of the top six animals having a cracker season and how I'd headline it, the South American You've got the filthy mind.

Starting point is 00:12:05 and how I'd headline it. The elusive red-lipped batfish is well worth the dive to gaze upon. Wow. Real fish in the Galapagos Islands, if anybody wants to look that up. The red-lipped batfish. Dive down and have a look. It's like a goldfish with lipstick. It's a really unpleasant looking fish.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Okay. It's a really unpleasant looking fish. Sometimes. It's a really unpleasant looking fish. Sometimes you see those fish and you know, gross ones and you're just like, oh, that's sad. Whereas a snapper looks exactly like it should be eaten. It looks like she's got a complaint for the manager. Yeah. It looks like she's, yeah, she's a kid that's put on makeup lipstick for the first time.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Mom, mom, like you now. Who am I? While we're on fish, number two on the list of the top six other animals having a cracker season and how I'd headline it, the slippery dick, native to the Caribbean. Sought after worldwide for a pet.

Starting point is 00:13:10 Number one on the list of the top six other animals having a cracker season and how I'd headline it. Number one is the particularly fragrant wood puss put off day trampers.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Vaughn Allen Smith. Did you know that's an official name for a skunk? Wood puss. Wood puss. Named because Vaughn Allen Smith Did you know that's an official name for a skunk?

Starting point is 00:13:48 Imagine if I'd said the Y. Oh, well, yeah. But it's an actual name for a skunk, so. Yeah. Is it adorable? You should just be glad I didn't bring up the common cockchafer, which is found in the south of the UK. It is a large bug, a hairy body.
Starting point is 00:14:01 The name cock meaning familiar or big, and chafer meaning the fact that it chafes away. That's how it eats leaves. Well, there's some lotion for that. Yeah, there is. Yeah, there is actually. But it's the season for it, isn't it? Yeah, I go Vaseline.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Yeah, well. That is today's top six. I did the weekly shop yesterday. Made a meal plan in there, really. Oh my God, I made a meal plan yesterday too. Yeah, mine wasn't healthy. It was just like kids, what do you want to eat for dinner this time? So we don't have to go to the supermarket five times.
Starting point is 00:14:32 And did they say nuggets? Not nuggets. Nachos, if we're thinking of that. Nachos is on mine. Is it? Yeah, a very boring healthy version. Boo, boo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Nachos shouldn't be healthy. No, I know. I was making my way around the supermarket. I got to the hot shop. Did you have a plan or did you snake? I snaked.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I love a snake. I always snake. Same. Because I'll come across things that I'd forgotten. Yeah. Or then I'm like, that's inspiring.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah. You know? Get it. I'm inspired. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Love a snake.
Starting point is 00:15:02 They always say like, make a list so that you don't snake because you end up spending money that you don't have or that you didn't plan on spending. That's the joy of it. A snake through the supermarket. We do need some glase cherries. I pulled up beside the hot chop display.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I don't even think those are cherries. God, what is it? I don't think anything. What are they called? Marachino. No, marachino cherries are different. Marachino cherries are the, like, fancy ones in the jars with the syrup and stuff. Oh, right. Glase cherries are different. Oh. Maraschino cherries are the fancy ones in the jars with the syrup and stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Oh, right. Glazed cherries are those candy, green and red things you put in a fruitcake. I just think I could eat a whole pack of those and not even be mad. Quite aniseed-y. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are glazed cherries made from? They reckon they're made from cherries.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Right. Maybe like 10 years ago. Yeah. You know, 10 processes ago. So I pulled up beside the hot choc display. Yeah, maybe like 10 years ago. Yeah. You know, 10 processes ago. So, I pulled up beside the hot chook display. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Which was lacking hot chook. There was hot chooks, but it wasn't like packed with hot chooks. What time of the day was it? Because I like when there's a whole lot of hot chooks,
Starting point is 00:15:55 I'll go dry, dry, dry. Yeah. You look a little bit dry. You gotta get a good one. You look plump and ready for a hot chook.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah. And it was at that stage there was a lady kind of parked there and I looked just because... How'd she get her car in the supermarket? Carefully, I'd say. And in her part, if you had a child, you would plop them.
Starting point is 00:16:14 She didn't have a child. She had her list there. Long list. Lots on there. And her handwriting was exactly the same as my mum's. Oh, wow. Exactly the same as my mum's. Everything about it was the same as my mum's. Oh, wow. Exactly the same as my mum's. Everything about it was the same as my mum's.
Starting point is 00:16:26 It's funny how you can recognise your parents' handwriting immediately. And so many of the times that I've seen my mum's handwriting has been on a shopping list because she keeps one of those Croxley long pads on the bench. And every time she's like, oh, we need that, she pops it on the list. This is just her habit. Yeah, I love that. She'll do it.
Starting point is 00:16:44 So much of the observation of her handwriting has been in the form of a shopping list i was overwhelmed to tell the lady what why why are you and i had headphones on i had headphones on shopping yeah listen to a podcast pause podcast airbag and i say excuse me and she turns around and i think she meant she took took it as, excuse me. I want a hot choc. You're in the way, I need a hot choc. Yeah, I need to check out these chicks. And she's like, oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And I was like, no, no, no. And I said, and please, I'm not, this is, I'm not trying to be weird here. Oh, when you preface something saying, please brace yourself. I'm not trying to be weird. It's weird. Gave it a pause and I said,
Starting point is 00:17:20 and I'm not trying to be nosy. Your handwriting is exactly the same as my mum's. Yep. Like everything about it. I was like, the way you, the C's, the B's, the way that. Oh God, now it looks like you've really been reading a list. What if it said condoms? I would have been like.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Lube, lube, lube. Nice. So she was like, oh, okay. And then you could see she clicked that I might've been telling her that because I'd lost my mum. No, Christine's alive, isn't she? Christine's alive and well. And then you could see she clicked that I might have been telling her that because I'd lost my mum. No, Christine's alive, isn't she? Christine's alive and well. And well.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Alive and well. And so then she had to deal with this guy who she didn't know the circumstance of my mum. Yeah. So she's like, oh, okay. Yeah, I wouldn't even know how to receive that. No. And what?
Starting point is 00:18:02 Yeah. And I was like, oh, what, bro? This is something you keep to yourself yeah you observe it and you go crazy yeah i couldn't move on and i said oh it's just such a nostalgic moment shopping and seeing a shopping list that was exactly the same as my mom's handwriting because my mom was such a shopping list lady yeah it feels like she's dead and then yeah she was just like oh okay and i said and i said sorry about that i'll let you i'll let you get on with it, but thanks.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And she was like, okay. Oh, you're totally not. And she would have gone home to her husband and said, God, this guy harassed me at the supermarket today. I'll reiterate, she's alive and well. Yeah, I know. But uncanny. God, my mother used to write shopping lists like that. The same Cs and Bs.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Now I'm hearing it back. I'm even more convinced she thought she was dead. Yeah, 100%. Alive and well. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:18:57 It is so silly, silly, silly. That silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly Little Pole today, do your parents have a favourite child? Our options were, yes it's me, yes but it's not me, or no they don't have a favourite child. Well a study of 20,000 parents in America found that parents do indeed treat their children differently. And the way that they choose their favourites is more systematic than you might think. Really?
Starting point is 00:19:32 I mean, if we ask Vaughan, because he's on radio and lots of people can hear, he'll say, no, I don't have a favourite child. Yeah. I have favourite things to do with each child. Yeah. I have a favourite child in different areas. Like, August is my favourite child when it comes to, like, watching or, like, building Lego together, watching shows. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Watching Star Wars stuff. Yeah. She's more into that sort of thing. Which is your favourite child to shoplift with? Both of them. They're both so good. They run a great game. They run a great game.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Okay, good. Because they just look so innocent. They run a great game. Okay, good. Because they just look so innocent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those smiles. One runs distraction. Oh, my gosh. One runs distraction. One runs cuteness.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And dad's just pocketing. Yeah, it's great. Good stuff. Do parents have a favourite child? 44% of people said, yes, it's me. Oh, okay. Also, funny if it isn't you.
Starting point is 00:20:24 But then I just found out my sister got a tattoo. And you know, my mum's so anti-tattoo. Did you drop her in it? No, I was like the last one to find out. Oh, okay. No one wants to talk about it. It's a tattoo. The family's shame.
Starting point is 00:20:38 How old's your sister? 40? Yeah, yeah. Wow. No, it's not. I was just, I don't know. I don't know you got a Wow. No, it's not. I was just, I don't know. Well, I hope you're covering that up at Christmas. I don't know you got a tattoo.
Starting point is 00:20:47 No one told me. Right, so that just boosts you in the favourite stage. Shit, did it what? Great. Virgin skin. What? Such not marked skin. 39% of people said, yes, my parents have a favourite, but it's not me.
Starting point is 00:21:00 And 18% of people said, no, my parents don't have a favourite. Okay. That just also should be added to that. They do, but it's not me. 18% of people said no my parents don't have a favourite. Okay. That just also should be added to that. They do but it's not me. Or that you're just both disappointing and your parents are just like we failed here. Someone just texted and said they actually saw your daughters in Mecca Newmarket.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Were you aware that they were shopping at Mecca Newmarket? Yeah because they got vouchers for Christmas. Oh god I was going to say you don't walk into Mecca Newmarket without spending a bit of money. Is Mecca the place that sells the bum bum cream? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. They were there. I'm an only child, says somebody. My parents prefer their grandkids. I gave them four. Far out. No, they're supposed to prefer their grandkids. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 If they like their kids better than they like their grandkids, they must have real dud grandkids. Yeah, d, yeah. If they like their kids better than they like their grandkids, they must have real dud grandkids. Yeah, duds. Sounds like duds. You're not supposed to, certainly not supposed to like your kids more than your grandkids. No. Brittany said,
Starting point is 00:21:54 honestly, I think it's because of my taste in partners is why I'm not the favourite. I keep bringing strays home. But looking at it from their perspective, I do understand. Who's this guy? I am so worried. Oh, for God's sake.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Describing them as strays? Yeah. Perfect. Like, I can, you know, I adopt, don't shop. Yeah, of course. But I've got a golden retriever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I was picky about my adoption. 100%. You know what I'm saying? How many staff he's going to bring home for Christmas. Exactly. Don't bring me home a pit bull.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah. Hey, some people like him. Not this guy. Bring me home a golden retriever. What else? That'll push. No, just a golden retriever. That's it.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Christine said, it is my brother who's the only boy in my whanau, better known as the golden boy. Oh, he's the fave. Of course there is. Sarah, my four-year-old. Khan, better known as the golden boy. Oh, he's the fave. He's the fave. Of course there is. Sarah, my four-year-old. Khan, Terrier is the favourite child. So that's a dog, right?
Starting point is 00:22:52 A dog, yeah. Yeah, the dog's the favourite child. Isabella, only child. My parents have no other options. Imagine if you're still not the favourite. You're still not the favourite. The potential that they decided against. They're like, man, we could have nailed it with that second one that we never had.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Okay, so there was a woman. She goes by Anne. She's 53 years old. I believe she's French. Okay. She has been scammed out of $1.5 million, New Zealand dollars.
Starting point is 00:23:27 $1.5 million. $1.5 million. I couldn't even get scammed that much because I don't have that much in my account. That's a good defense. Yeah, I'd be like, try. Go on, try. So she was scammed after she was contacted online. And she doesn't go online a lot,
Starting point is 00:23:45 but she was contacted online by none other than Brad Pitt. Who just, what, emailed her out of the blue? Messaged her on social media out of the blue. Just chatting, starting up a conversation. She was like, oh, my God, he's actually so down to earth, super nice. Okay. Then her heart broke when she realised, and obviously he'd kept
Starting point is 00:24:05 this private from the public eye because he just wants to go through it privately before, you know, coming out. That he was going through cancer treatment. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah, awful. And I had no idea. He just looks like a fit, healthy guy. He does. Full, full-blown cancer. He looks like he loves a ciggy, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Oh mate, that guy moons the darts. Loves darts. He's a leathery old boy. It's always weird when you do see a celebrity that you see in movies and stuff all the time just casual and they're holding a durry and you're like, There's quite a few celebrities like that. Heaps.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Yeah, heaps. Heaps. So he reaches out because he's got cancer treatment and she's like, Oh, my God, that's horrible. He starts sending her photos of him in hospital beds, some of which I just showed you before. Comical. Comical. Comical, clearly.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I mean, it's like him with ventilators, but it's like Hollywood red carpet photos of his face photoshopped onto... It's week one learning Photoshop stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could have been done in paint or sort of Microsoft Word. Eventually this comes out that this is a scam, obviously. And it all gets kind of sorted like this.
Starting point is 00:25:10 But $1.5 million, she's transferred to him to help pay for his cancer treatment. Over how long? Like what were the increments that was leaving the bank account? Oh, I'm not sure. I don't have all that. I don't know. I don't know how long, but I mean, it must have been a while. Why didn't she?
Starting point is 00:25:25 It's Brad Pitt. He's worth millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars. Why did she think he needed the money? I think she's quite naive here. Right. And she, the only thing that alerted her to the fact that maybe this was a scam is she would see photos of him in public looking A-okay, you know, like red carpet, paparazzi shots and whatnot. And she was like,
Starting point is 00:25:47 oh my God. By that point, she'd given him $1.5 million. I mean, it's awful. If there were stages of realisation, she was like, Brad lied to me. And she still thought it was Brad that was scamming her money before she realised he had nothing to do with it. I know. So he's come out now.
Starting point is 00:26:03 The real Brad Pitt. He's not on social media. He he's come out now because he doesn't have- The real Brad Pitt. The real Brad Pitt. He's not on social media. No. He's got no verified accounts. He doesn't do Instagram or anything like that. But he came out and he said, it's awful that scammers take advantage of fans' strong connection with celebrities,
Starting point is 00:26:16 but this is an important reminder to not respond to unsolicited online outreach, especially from actors who have no social media presence. That's kind of all he's had to say. So, yeah, you dumb. You deserve that. Yeah, you dumb. But now what happens? Because this is ongoing.
Starting point is 00:26:32 He's got to meet her, right? He's got to go. He doesn't have to do anything. He's got to give her a little coin. No, Bradford is not obligated to do a single thing to this woman. Half a million dollars would make her feel better. He should go meet her and give her one of his bottles of wine.
Starting point is 00:26:48 At least! I wouldn't even go and meet her. You wouldn't even go? You don't know way. Absolutely not. He's got no obligation to do anything. She should have been talking to more people about this. People should have been looking after her. This is not his fault. Not his problem. They had a connection.
Starting point is 00:27:04 They had a connection. He was suffering and she had a bit of coin. Well, she's not the only one because there's also a story at the moment about this happening to someone else. They believed it was Keanu Reeves. I know. But he's a nice guy.
Starting point is 00:27:16 He wouldn't ask for money. He wouldn't. He wouldn't do that. But Kiwis in the last year lost $2.3 billion to digital scams. And that's just like what's known of. So apparently, sorry, apparently the scammer told this woman, Anne, that he was unable to access his, Brad,
Starting point is 00:27:35 was unable to access his bank accounts due to his ongoing divorce with Angelina Jolie, but he's got this cancer treatment. And he's like, good for her. Okay, yeah, right. You just got to be careful. Remember, it's never dumb to ask someone. This is why you need to tell your grandparents,
Starting point is 00:27:52 your parents. Always ask me. If you're ever in doubt, listen, we don't judge. Yeah. When it comes to scams. Because that's your inheritance, you know? Some people can't be told. You hear about people whose parents are convinced. You're just jealous.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Yeah, exactly. They said you'd do this. Yeah. They said you wouldn't believe me. Brad Pitt told me you'd try to stop this. Yeah. No, we didn't. We didn't.
Starting point is 00:28:14 We didn't. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Hayley. We've been away for four weeks. Fletch, you went overseas and had some big adventures. So I don't imagine that you spend a lot of time reading or watching things. I know a lot of time in the plane. So I watched a few series. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And then Vaughn and I, man, we also spent four weeks. Just get crazy adventures, man. So many adventures. Yeah. It sucks that when it's our summer and we've got daylight savings and we've got all this daylight and amazing weather, We're getting all the best shows and movies because in America it's winter and they just want
Starting point is 00:28:49 to watch TV. So we get all the good stuff and we're like, ah. You jump on the couch at like 7pm and you're like, oh, and you're looking outside like, oh, it's so nice still. It just feels bad to be watching all of this in the, you know, nice daytime. Yeah, so I thought maybe we could share some of the best things we read, listened to,
Starting point is 00:29:05 or watched over the break. Half Dimension, Squid Game 2. We'll bring the girls in. Hi, girls. Welcome back. Hi. We made it. You did.
Starting point is 00:29:14 You made the cut. They're back. I obviously love Squid Game. Squid Game. I love Squid Game 1, but I haven't even... It's there. It's ready.
Starting point is 00:29:23 It's so worth doing. Like, for a sequel, they've done well. It's so different. Like, I was like, okay, here we go. New round of game players and we'll do it again. Like, how are they going to make it different? It just... I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I watched it Boxing Day. Like, the day it came out and I watched it all in one day. Yeah. I was saying there's a lot of... Can you not get to any sales? Online. I can multitask. Big screen, little screen.
Starting point is 00:29:51 So you were watching Squid Game 2 and Boxing Day sales. Okay, great. I got a new backpack for work. It genuinely is so good for a sequel. Not even for a sequel. It's so good. I think that's the first overwhelmingly positive. I thought the stuff I'd seen was a bit ho-hum.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I thought the hype would be more too, having watched it. I think a few people watched episode one and didn't think it was going to be what they thought so tapped out. But I think you need to watch the whole season and then you'll get the hype. I think episode one is incredible. I was like, I forgot that the show was this. Ruthless?
Starting point is 00:30:22 Ruthless. And yeah, bloody. And the music choice is 10 out of 10. One thing I watched is, you know, Kunk? You know, Philomena Kunk? This is her second season? Yeah, she's done Kunk on Life
Starting point is 00:30:38 and it is so funny. It's just like, she just plays this kind of mad, British, you know, documentarian. Very funny. Do you guys watch anything? It's just like She just plays this kind of Like mad British Yeah she's hilarious Documentarian Very funny Do you guys watch anything? Watch Day of the Jackal
Starting point is 00:30:51 Which I know is a little bit late too On TVNZ Plus Which was phenomenal Yeah that's good Eddie Redmayne Eddie Redmayne Yeah I got a bit of a man crush On Eddie Redmayne
Starting point is 00:30:58 Do you? Yeah What about Henry Cavill? Oh still Henry Cavill Okay Right Oh my god Henry Cavill Henry Cavill's had a baby Yeah wellony for me. Oh, still Henry Cavill. Okay, right. Oh my God, Henry Cavill.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Henry Cavill's had a baby. Yeah, well, shut up. Yeah, he's on the Gold Coast filming the Voltron movie, which, again, now he's got a kid, it's just another thing Henry Cavill and I can talk about when we hang out and have three quiet beers. I think the thing, it's just, yeah, one more thing you guys could chat about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I think the thing is, it's just that with Henry Cavill, we could just touch on Henry Cavill for a little bit. Yeah. The Henry Cavill thing is that, like, yes, he had this girlfriend and we were all like, sure. Do you know what I mean? Like, sure. And the baby really solidifies this kind of, like, love and life that they've got together.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Okay, sure, happy for you. I did a bit of reading. I read quite a lot in a beanbag. Okay, I'll touch on some smart. Wow, some. Chasing Wild is one I watched, read. Carwin's Jaw hit the floor. It's outrageous.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah. It's really good though. And I read two of the Twisted series, which like they were popular on TikTok for a while, RIP TikTok. And then I read these books by, this is a good,, this is literary. People will be like, ooh la la.
Starting point is 00:32:07 She reads that. And she reads, there's this author called Edward Rutherford, and he writes these books. There's one called Ernest Rutherford. It's a different brother. Yeah, yeah. This is his brother. He writes books that are called Dublin, London, and Russia, and Paris,
Starting point is 00:32:23 and they're about the history of a place, but told through story. It's told through these families over time. You'd like them if you knew how to done read. Well, again, audiobooks is reading. Yeah, well- And Carwin agrees, too. Carwin agrees audiobooks is reading.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Yeah, look, I'm into audiobooks now, so it's reading. It's definitely reading. I still listen to audiobooks, like every day. Yeah. Alongside my reading. But see, I wouldn't consider Quinn Audios as audiobooks. No, no, no, neither. That's
Starting point is 00:32:49 Okay, good. That's something else. I mean, that's just straight up something else. That's a whole different category. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Very soon we're going to talk to a poor woman in America who has been deeply affected by the TikTok ban that was put into place hours ago, actually.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Yeah, yesterday. Yeah. 170 million Americans. Yeah. If they open the app, it just says... Unavailable. Yeah. So we're going to talk to Deanna G. Letty,
Starting point is 00:33:17 who has like nearly 2 million followers on TikTok. Or had. This is like her big source of income. Yeah, 100%. This is her job. This is how she makes a living. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she does like theatre and acting and whatnot, but I This is a job. This is how she makes a living. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she does like theatre and acting and whatnot,
Starting point is 00:33:27 but I've got that one. Tell you what, not a lot of money in there. I'll tell you what. Not a lot of money. Yeah. So apparently people are now turning to something called Red Note. Red Note? Yeah, because that's a Chinese app.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yes. And this is why the whole TikTok thing is a problem because the US government doesn't want China to have influence and access to 170 million Americans' phones. So now they're turning to this Chinese app. In defiance. In defiance as an act of a sort of FU, I imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Don't tell me what to do. Now, social media producer Shannon, can you tell us about this app? Yeah, it's kind of a scary time being a social media producer Shannon, can you tell us about this app? Yeah, it's kind of a scary time being a social media producer because then you've got to figure out what a new app is and get your username in first. So we're on there. Remember when threads came in?
Starting point is 00:34:15 We got threads quick. Go get your names. Do we get blue sky? No. Oh. That one's seeming to flop. I think red note might fall down the same path. But we're on there
Starting point is 00:34:25 We're F-E-H-Z-M That's the only part of our bio Not in Chinese I will say Oh okay right Because it's It's only It's all in Chinese
Starting point is 00:34:33 Right okay So I've posted two videos Just to say This is legitimately us This is fantastic though Because Vaughan you do Speak Mandarin Give us a little bit
Starting point is 00:34:42 Yeah I What are you doing? That's English. No, I was speaking Mandarin, but the microphone was blocking it. Oh my God, the government, man. The government doesn't want me to be promoting
Starting point is 00:34:55 the wonderful country of China. I wanted to, so it's a Chinese app. How many followers have we got? We're at 52, guys. We've gone viral. Oh my gosh. But I will say it's so weird posting. This is Girl Math 2.0.
Starting point is 00:35:08 I did post a Girl Math video to try and get attention. Yeah, you're great. But basically, when you go to post, so I'll put a video up. The post button's in Chinese, so I just had to guess that I wasn't deleting or what. I just was like, well, that one's red, so I'm going to hit that. Okay. Do you know you could take a screenshot and put it in Google Translate? Ah, it's, you know.
Starting point is 00:35:27 But all of the notifications, every time we get a follower, my notification screen, it's all in Chinese. Wow. Can we? It's wild that a Chinese app would dare speak its own language. Yeah. How dare I? How are all of these U.S.
Starting point is 00:35:41 You're in New Zealand now. Speak English. But how are these U. these US TikTokers getting around? Like, are they just posting their usual videos? Yes. So people are kind of doing what we did and posted a few of their viral videos to be like, it's me, I'm here.
Starting point is 00:35:55 So my For You page is quite mixed. It's either an American influencer, a video I've seen before, or just straight up Chinese. And I don't know what's happening. I think we should, because we post our radio show, little clips on there, I think we should cater
Starting point is 00:36:09 to the broader audience of Red Note. I don't know if you know, but there's a lot of people there. I don't know if you know, but I actually speak a bit of Chinese myself. I didn't know that. Okay, are you ready? I'm just going to clear my throat. And I'll just say, I'll just say do like normal show banter.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Wait, so Shannon, start recording, because we can put this on Red Note. Okay, and I'm just going to clear my throat. And I'll just say, I'll just say, do like normal show banter. Wait, so Shannon, start recording because we can put this on red note. Okay, and I'll just move my mouth so that it's like I'm saying it. Okay, right, okay. So this is, this is like, this is just for the red note people. What is this about? What are we? Well, you would understand if you spoke Chinese bracket traditional. Okay. If you could speak Chinese bracket traditional
Starting point is 00:36:46 You would know what I'm about to say Okay Did you hear her say Should I laugh? Yeah, yeah Edit out that big pause, Shannon So it sounds a bit more natural Okay, I've got another one Didn't you hear her say... Should I laugh? Yeah, yeah. Edit out that big pause, Shannon, so it sounds a bit more natural. Okay, I've got another one.
Starting point is 00:37:09 This is specific for the show. Wait, are we laughing at... Why aren't you laughing? I don't speak that. What? Okay. You don't speak Chinese bracket traditional. You don't speak Chinese bracket traditional? I don't speak Chinese bracket traditional.
Starting point is 00:37:27 I speak Mandarin. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. What do I say now? Just say heaps. Heaps. Oh, she's stitched out there. What have you said to me in Chinese?
Starting point is 00:37:43 You're actually now banned from going to China because of what you said you do. How many people did you sleep with in South America? Very rude. The first one I said Fletchford and Hayley laugh out loud every morning. They have a genuine friendship. I think it really comes across on air. Right. As traditional Chinese speakers will know. And I said
Starting point is 00:37:57 good morning to our lesbian listeners and of course our paramount leader, Xi Jinping. I don't know. I think lesbians are banned in China. That's why when it says lesbians, it just went, it was speaking No, I don't know. I think lesbians are banned in China. That's why when it says lesbians, it just went, it was speaking Chinese and it just went woman. It literally,
Starting point is 00:38:11 in Chinese, traditional, did not translate the word lesbian. Well, Shannon, do you think that's going to be enough to work with
Starting point is 00:38:17 to get us breaking through in China? I'm a bit nervous. After Aer Lingus on TikTok, I don't know if we should really be dabbling in international affairs.
Starting point is 00:38:25 When we insulted all of Ireland. Yeah. Every single one of them. Every single Irish person. Well, now we're coming for the Chinese, apparently. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Severance Season 2 is streaming now on Apple TV+.
Starting point is 00:38:43 New episodes are dropping every Friday. Good morning, Tramiel Tillman. Good morning, Patricia Arquette from Severance Season 2 is streaming now on Apple TV+. New episodes are dropping every Friday. Good morning, Tramiel Tillman. Good morning, Patricia Arquette from Severance. Such a delight to have you on the show. Thank you for having us. Thank you. Now, we three are ginormous Severance fans. Like, we have not stopped talking about it
Starting point is 00:38:58 for the three, almost three long years that we have waited for Season 2. It was, I can tell by that reaction, every single person said it. But it was like, the minute it finished, the group chat was like, when's the next one? We turned to Fletch. Here's our know-all of when shows are going to be back. And he's like, there's no sign.
Starting point is 00:39:16 There's no sign. They're going to do one, but there's no sign that it's even started. And we were like, how long must we wait? Yeah. Has it been personally hard? Have your friends or fans in public been like constantly pestering you yes yes yeah but it's beautiful you know to be a part of something that people are anticipating and wanting to know more about i think that's wonderful and i am i am glad because i was concerned that we would lose some people because of the weight. But even though it was beyond our control,
Starting point is 00:39:47 I'm so glad that people are back and they're ready and they did not walk away from us. I will say that your turtleneck's still the show for me and I'm so glad that you're wearing a turtleneck now, Tramiel. Were you pre-Severance? Just for you. Thank you. Pre-Severance, did you ever wear the turtleneck much?
Starting point is 00:40:06 Free Severance? No, I wasn't much of a turtleneck guy. And then this show changed my life and now I wear turtlenecks all the time. Yeah. That's all right. Patricia, do you find, because with the season two,
Starting point is 00:40:19 we've been privy to it and it's absolutely stunning. But I would say with both of your characters, which is great that we've got you both, every time either you, Patricia, or you, Tramiel, are on screen, my heart races. I feel like something bad is going to happen. It's a foreboding presence that you both have.
Starting point is 00:40:36 How does it feel to carry that weight that you walk on screen and we go, oh, no, she's here. What's she done? I feel good about it. I love it. I mean, you know, I think that it's fun to play kind of the heavy, and these are conformists. We're conforming to the structure of this thing,
Starting point is 00:40:55 and we don't really want to challenge it too much. Although I think Harmony has her own agenda. She has a little bit of a wild thing inside of her that's testing. Yeah. Do you know what I love with you guys playing those heavy characters? Both of you have nailed the smile. The foreboding smile.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Especially with your character, Tramiel, we see you smile and we think oh, that evil. Oh my god, he's got something twisted in his mind. Do you practice the smile? I did. I did. It is a very specific smile and it is intended to do exactly what it's doing. I mean, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:32 you have to be very careful with charming people because that can be the most dangerous type of person, the most manipulative type of person can couch it in charm. Do you know Vaughn across from me? His smile has a twisted touch. Can you give them your smile? It's sort of
Starting point is 00:41:51 off-putting. But I don't mean it to be. I haven't practiced it enough, obviously, because I don't want it to be off-putting, but it's one of those. Are you sort of privy to the story on a whole? Or, you know, you hear about these shows where you're privy to the story on a whole or you know you hear about these shows where you're privy to your character's arc
Starting point is 00:42:08 throughout and it's all interwoven obviously with Severance but do you watch it and you're like whoa that's something I wasn't privy to in the making of it or are you across it all for that bigger picture when it comes to acting? I always get surprised by the stuff that I'm not
Starting point is 00:42:24 in and even if I'd read it, how it gets realized and actualized is super exciting with the acting, but then also the direction, the camera work, the sets, the whole deal. I have to watch it multiple times to actually get the full picture of it because I learned something new
Starting point is 00:42:44 from reading it versus seeing it on screen. That's another thing the the scripting's amazing but the atmosphere that's caught and as you said the set design and the camera work and that like director of photography sort of stuff it's it adds so much to it so I was reading the script how much of the pie is that versus the product when you sit with the set and everything i think that's a big part of it also i mean it's all of it at first when we first started shooting the first season it was really hard to understand what the tone was until they showed us some stuff cut together to understand
Starting point is 00:43:22 that more but the the camera work and the sets and the composition, it's very much, you know, a part of that. Yeah. I mean, we think we know what's happening and then we get to episode three and we're crawling through a tunnel and we see something and we don't know what's happening anymore.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I can't say anything more than that. Welcome to our world. Welcome. Thank you guys so much for your time, Tramiel and Patricia. Absolutely fantastic work as always, and hopefully not so long await for season three. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Now, Luke Combs was just in Auckland. Two shows? Two shows. Sade went along, didn't she? Yeah, she went to the Saturday night one. Which was the big one? Yeah, I think it's the fry sauce. The fry sauce video looked a bit empty.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Was that the one with the All Blacks doing shoo-ins? They were doing a shoo-in. High question mark. There were quite a few of them came out on stage, eh? And then did a shoo-in. Can I just say, I might sound like a grisly old man. Shoo-ins are gross. You already do sound like a grisly old man.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Drinking out of people's boots is gross. I've done one, but we cut a pump bottle and put it in the marching boots. That's cheating. Yeah, I know. I'm not drinking from sweaty marching boots. Yuck. The leather's going to absorb it. I did it out of a brand new child's gum boot when I was 20 in Hamilton.
Starting point is 00:44:40 And even then, people were like, dude. Dude, have some respect. Dude, and that was in Hamilton. Anyway, Luke Combs was there. I did not attend. I don't really know many of his songs. But Carwin attended. Yeah, I did on the Friday.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Despite not really being a fan either. Despite also not knowing many songs. Yeah. Look, I love country music. I know he's a big deal. Georgia was like, you'll have the best time. I got some work tickets. I was like, I can boogie to anything.
Starting point is 00:45:10 So the song that we played a lot was Fast Car, the Tracy Chapman cover. None of it has. And so you only went for one song. Yeah, I love that song. I love every version of it. Maybe not the Jonas Blue one, but the other covers. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Wow. Did you just hear show up by the Jonas Blue? What's wrong with Jonas Blue? Wait, so my question is, so he plays this song and usually when it's, artists like that
Starting point is 00:45:35 and they've got one song that just went huge and they'll play it towards the end. Yeah. So what are you doing for the rest of it? Boogieing. Boogieing.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Learning some new songs. Are you doing that thing where you're at a concert and you don't know the words? So you're like, so that you look like a super fan? Do you know what? I'm also, I have this weird thing
Starting point is 00:45:51 where I can learn lyrics really fast. So by the second time he's singing the chorus, I'm there. You're in. Oh, wow. You're in. So I kind of looked like I was like an everyday, maybe listens to him once a month kind of fan, you know?
Starting point is 00:46:04 Wow. And was it worth it for the one song? Oh, it was so good. As I was leaving, he did the Twisters song from the Twisters movie in the encore, and I kind of was like, oh, I know this. I'm familiar with this tune. So you went for one and a half songs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Really? Okay. Fast Car was great, though. I definitely went. I went to, as you know, with our old producer, Jared, I went to Papa Roach. And I will say, cut my life into pieces. You went off and everything else, I was like, good.
Starting point is 00:46:33 You were there. You were just there. I'm having a time. You were just there. I think there'll be many of us that are guilty of this. Somebody said, someone just messaged an uncle too, one better. One of my friends went to Luke Combs, and then when the concert was finished, they were like,
Starting point is 00:46:44 I can't believe you didn't sing Tennessee Whiskey Oh different guy Just completely the wrong artist. Just not even the right guy Wow okay well this is what we want to know now 0800 dials at him you can text through 9696 When did you go to a concert just for one
Starting point is 00:46:59 song? What was the song and what did you do for the rest of the time? Bonus points if you got the wrong artist as well. That's so good. That's so brilliant. But yeah, maybe it was you had to fork out all that money just for one song. Maybe you even travelled for it. Or maybe
Starting point is 00:47:15 you went for one song and you left a true fan. 0800 DALES.M. Give us a call now. You can text through 9696. Did you go to a concert just for one song? We want to know if you have been to a concert for one song only because Carlin went to Luke Combs over the weekend as did thousands of people.
Starting point is 00:47:32 But she went for one song. One song. And we were laughing because someone texted and they also went to Luke Combs for one song and it wasn't that wrong artist. It wasn't Tennessee Whiskey. Yeah. So that's what we want to know. Someone texted saying went to Harry Styles to hear Watermelon Sugar. Expensive, but worth it.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Oh, that was a great concert. How do you know what that whole album's a great? Yeah, I know, but I suppose that was the big radio hit. Yeah. If you're only listening to that, then... Yeah, somebody said, does it count if you went for the opening act and then left before the main?
Starting point is 00:48:02 I've done that before. I've done that before. I've done that before. Because do you remember years ago, Kanye West opened for U2. Weird combo at the time. So odd. And literally the crowd changed at halftime. Yeah, you look tag out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:15 And people would have just gone home. Yeah, yeah. They'd run home from that. Yeah. Some other messages. Went to Matt Corby for Brother. Didn't know any of the others. Would 1000% do it again?
Starting point is 00:48:25 Now 1000% is actually in a mathematical impossibility but I'll let you away with it this time. Please just from now on just 100% is fine. It's the max
Starting point is 00:48:34 in this situation. It was still a great experience. 0800 DALS at AM Keep your texts coming in 9696 Have you been to a concert just for one song? Well for 170 million American TikTok users,
Starting point is 00:48:48 they opened the app to a message that said, you can't use this anymore. Nah, bro. Nah. Nah, bro. Nah. So we're going to talk to Diana Gioletti, who has nearly 2 million followers on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Makes money. Makes money off it. Like, it completely changed her life, as it has with many TikTok creators. And there are reports coming through that it may be coming back online for some Americans. Yeah, I just saw that in the last, like, ten minutes or so.
Starting point is 00:49:14 People saying, like, oh, it's back. Oh, it's gone. Oh, it's back. So I think, I imagine that they'll bring it back. We'll catch up with her soon. Welfare check. Yeah, welfare check. How are ya? See how she's doing. Some T's and P's. Right now though,
Starting point is 00:49:27 we want to know, have you ever gone to a concert for just one song? Carmel went to Luke Combs for one song. One song. Some of these are really good. A lot of like throwbacks.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Oh yeah. Somebody said, went to see Leonard Cohen back in the day for Hallelujah. Oh my God, of course. I was waiting for Hallelujah. And then we got a call from the babysitter that the young daughter was very sick. So we had to leave before we even got to see our one Leonard Cohen.
Starting point is 00:49:52 John, when did you go to a concert for just one song? Yeah, look, I went many moons ago. Went to go see Real to Real at the power station. I like to move it, move it. I was just about to say, I was going to say these guys knew who I was. Who the hell is that? Fletch, I've got it right here.
Starting point is 00:50:09 If you could... For the first time in 2025, hit my aux cord. I like to move it, move it. Oh, my God. John. Now, I'm guessing, John, this was before the Madagascar movies.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Well before, yeah, yeah. Okay, it's a great song. Wait, what was it like live? Yeah, it was good, it was alright. I was there to meet a mate
Starting point is 00:50:30 who never actually turned up so they played this song and it was good, it was banging, right? Yeah, dude. What's worse,
Starting point is 00:50:38 so you went to this concert for this one song, Weird Band, and now you're there by yourself. What a sad story, John. I know,
Starting point is 00:50:44 I know, but that song, that was mint, it was great. Yeah, yourself. What a sad story, John. I know, I know. But that song, that was mint. It was great. Yeah, but what else made me a bad story? I reckon John's talking about this this many years later. It's one of his core memories. This is true.
Starting point is 00:50:55 John, what else did they play? No, no idea. John, thank you. Awesome messages in. Somebody else said, I was booking tickets to Bruno Mars. Oh, okay. I was going through the entire thing. I got to the last page where you're just about to click pay.
Starting point is 00:51:10 And I was like, oh, they've misspelled Mars as major here. Oh, no, that's a different artist. Yeah, that's a wildly different artist. That's what they found out. They were like one click away from booking tickets to an artist that they didn't even know one song of.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah. Along the way, they were like, these Bruno Mars tickets are cheap. He should be at a know one song of. Yeah. Along the way they were like these Bruno Mastick it's a cheat. He should be at a bigger venue. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:28 I love the throwbacks of someone went to George Thurgood for one bourbon one scotch one beer and then
Starting point is 00:51:35 that was a really expensive concert. I bet it would have been. I couldn't have made you another one.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Back in the 80s a whole lot of us from our Contiki tour went to see a concert for Curiosity Killed the Cat
Starting point is 00:51:44 and to only hear the song which was our theme song because us from our Contiki tour went to see a concert for Curiosity Killed the Cat. And to only hear the song, which was our theme song, because you know how Contiki's have theme songs. Oh yeah, they play a theme song, yeah. So we all went as a group, they played our song, and then this just big group of people just walked out. Weird. Someone made a choice to go see Benson Boone, they said, for that one popular song. So that's how loosely they know it. The one popular song, they can't even name it. For that song.
Starting point is 00:52:05 He's got many popular songs. And then, so they booked the tickets and then said, oh, but travelling for the South Islander work day, it seems a little bit extra, so they've given the ticket away
Starting point is 00:52:13 to someone who knows probably the name of the song. Yeah. I went to Luke Combs. I will go to Tyler Childers or whatever they're called. Now, that's what they said in brackets.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Tyler Childers or whatever they're called and Chris Stapleton. All in my new Ariat boots with zero song list knowledge just because I've got boots. Wait, so you're going to concerts because you've got boots.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Because you bought a pair of boots. So you bought an expensive pair of boots and now you're spending more money to justify the boots. Oh, spent, oh my God. Spent $1,500, $1,500 on two Coldplay tickets to take my sister to the show. I knew two songs and I pretended I knew the rest.
Starting point is 00:52:48 It was so awkward. You would have known more than two. Surely. What two Coldplay? You know, or they might just be confused because all Coldplay songs sound the same. So there's more than two songs. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Well, for 170 million Americans last night, TikTok was shut off. We are very lucky to be joined by Deanna Gialetti, who has, well, had 1.8 million followers on TikTok. Wow. You just said in the past tense. Can you imagine? I know. Well, temporarily.

Starting point is 00:54:17 Yes. It was like I was going to do a beautiful goodbye going through the past five years with this app that changed my literal life and then it just got ripped from under me so how how did it change your life because you hear like all these stories you just think funny videos but there are so many people out there making a serious living from this aren't they oh my god it changed my life i was working on a cruise ship before everything shut down. I was doing Jersey Boys on Norwegian Cruise Lines. Everything shuts down.

Okay, we've all worked for him. Because he was still working. Yeah, he was still working. So we were doing odd jobs here and there. And that's when I turned to TikTok. And I was like dancing in dumpsters. Like those were that was the start of my career. Yeah, dancing in dumpsters as I was helping him like do the big jobs really. Yeah. And then Broadway was doing virtual auditions at
Starting point is 00:55:47 the time so i just started posting online like all my auditions and found a community of people who were like oh this girl feels like hope this girl feels like yeah we might we might get the world back one day like let's follow and then i built this community and it i didn't have to work for my dad anymore said goodbye to the dumpster said goodbye so what's the plan now because I mean it's it's said that it's temporary and the um the great Donald Trump has um promised that he's gonna try to like change this so that TikTok can come back but are you making a plan to just move everyone to Instagram and turn your back on TikTok yes you know what I was just doing making a plan to just move everyone to Instagram and turn your back on TikTok? Yes. You know what I was just doing? Making a YouTube vlog.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Wow. I switched over. Old school. I switched over. You should make a Bebo post while you're at it in a MySpace page or something. No, not me waking up today and seeing they're trying to bring back Vine.
Starting point is 00:56:42 What? I thought about Vine over the weekend when it was all the news it was going to shut down. I was like, it was good. It was great. It was great. You know what is going to be better for our attention spans? If videos are only six seconds long.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah. So much better. Oh my God. I literally saw Elon Musk was like, we're looking into bringing Vine back. And I was like, I give up on all of you. I'm going to YouTube. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:04 I'm surprised it took you this long. Yeah. What we were talking about this morning was, I remember in 2020, Donald Trump was saying he wanted to ban TikTok. So I was saying my goodbyes to my 100,000 followers in 2021 because I was like, looks like Donald Trump's trying to ban it. And now he's trying to be the saviour? Good luck.
Starting point is 00:57:28 But also now you've got 2 million followers basically so you kind of do want them to save it, don't you? Also, what do they all know that we don't, eh? Have you thought about that? You know what I am thinking about right now? How you can scroll
Starting point is 00:57:44 happily right now. Yes, we can. You know what would annoy you even more? I never go on TikTok. Yeah, we don't really go on TikTok, but we're old. We've got Instagram. Could you imagine? Look, I've just opened it for you.

Starting point is 00:58:53 Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Just on the back of Deanna, more people are saying that TikTok is bad for some people in America. People sharing being like, thanks, Trump. Who knows? Watch this space. Anyway, speaking of watching this space, I'm making a new show for
Starting point is 00:59:10 the year, basically. Comedy Fest. I guess I'll turn it around at some point. Who knows? Maybe it'll be crap and you'll never see it. But I had to do a photo... That's the attitude! I made a couple of good ones. Time for a date. That's the way to go into it. I had to plan this photo shoot for this new show, right?
Starting point is 00:59:28 And I was like... That's got to be the worst part. What? Of being a comedian, is having to do some photo shoot for a poster. We were talking about this. Because do you go plain, like, this is me? No, you don't do that anymore.
Starting point is 00:59:39 I talked about this with comedian Rhys Matthews and I was like, the game has changed. Oh, he was riding a horse backwards last year. People just do these elaborate huge sort of creative shoots and so I thought up
Starting point is 00:59:49 this idea and I really am happy with it. Fletch and I love photo shoots don't we? Famously. I can't wait for our 2025 photo shoot where they say
Starting point is 00:59:56 Vaughn smile and I say I am effing smiling. Yeah well now that there's AI they just make you smile. Can they just take my hottest photos
Starting point is 01:00:04 from like I think I hit kind of 2018 I struck it no no no no no mine was 27
Starting point is 01:00:11 2018 36 okay you want those photos but reimagined I don't give a shit okay okay
Starting point is 01:00:18 great we'll submit it I did an in person shoot right and I had this big dream and as part of it I was like I want to look bronzed because I didn't do a lot of, right? And I had this big dream. And as part of it, I was like, I want to look bronzed. Because I didn't do a lot of tanning.
Starting point is 01:00:27 I was very fair. So I went to get a spray tan. Now, shout out to Katie. She did the spray tan. She listens to the show. Okay. Now, I will say, if you haven't had a spray tan before, you go in, you get completely starkers,
Starting point is 01:00:40 and you do weird poses so they can get in all your crevices and bits. And as I walked... And wait, is it like airport security when you go in and you put your hands up they can get in all your crevices and bits. And as I walked... And wait, is it when we did this? It's like airport security when you go in and you put your hands up. Put your hands up. And then like when you've got your legs and they're doing the back slight bend in the knee
Starting point is 01:00:53 so they can get in the creases and the crooks and all these things, arch your back. I'm just trying to remember when we did, because we did one as like a funny on-air thing years and years and years ago. Was it a machine? Like automation? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:04 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We were person spray. Because they used to have those ones where you just stood in the box and it just blew it out. We wore paper G-strings too. Yeah. I wore a little one this time. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so. I put mine on backwards. The string at the front. Yeah. And it still covered everything. Yeah, I know. That's the wild thing about it. Yeah, yeah, still covered everything. And it still covered that teeny little thing.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Balls each side, but... I thought it was funny because Katie at Tan in the City, as soon as I walked in, she said, I just want to let you know. Saddle plug. Oh, yeah. So, well, there you go.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Katie said, I just want to let you know, I do listen to the podcast. Oh, okay. She listens to Flesh on Haley. And then she was sort of like, so I hope I didn't make it weird that I'm about to see all your bits. And I was like, well, Kati, here we are.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Anyway, so we get in there, everything's off, but I'm a little paper G. Yep. We're tanning, we're good, having a chat, having a yarn. Like, you know me, I'm very comfortable. She's great, doesn't make it awkward at all. And then she leaves and there's a moment, there's a little blower in these booths
Starting point is 01:02:05 where before you put your clothes on, it gives you a little bit of a dry off, you know, because you don't want to get all this sticky. Gives you a bit of a dry off. She was like, stand there for a bit. Is it a bit like the car wash? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, the last cycle.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Where if you want to get rid of your rubbish, you wind your windows down. Yeah. Well, sometimes I like to wind the window down so it's like you're in a hurricane. Oh, yeah, yeah. It makes a little hairdo. Anyway, so I'm to wind the window down so it's like you're in a hurricane. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so I'm standing in the blower and she pops out for a bit to go get a powder thing
Starting point is 01:02:32 they put on you. Just quick Sammy. Katie's going to Sammy. In that time, I turn around to face the girls at the blower and I look down and I noticed that I had just a small flake of dry skin upon my right nipple. And I looked down and I noticed that I had just a small flake of dry skin upon my right nipple. And I thought... On the nipple? Yeah, well I
Starting point is 01:02:49 often get eczema on them. So it was just a little bit of a remnant of it. But the tan... Hold back, boys and girls. That's what I like to think about when I'm about to get a mouth on a nipple. I'm going to get some dry skin in my mouth. Oh, flaky nip sprawlers here. So I thought, oh, and I'll get that.
Starting point is 01:03:05 And I just took my finger and I sort of brushed this skin and I left this huge streak through the tan. Oh, I hadn't tried. Through the boob. Like Eve, the artist from the early 2000s who had the claw mark on her breasts. I created my own Eve claws. So then I had to holler.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I was like, oh no, Katie, I've done something. And she was like, oh no. And she's mid-sandwich. She's mid-sandwich. She walks back in, egg sandwich on white. Egg salad on white. And she's like, oh, what are you doing there? What are you doing, love?
Starting point is 01:03:34 And I said, I've booped my boob. And she had to come in with a little brush buffer and then like fully sort of buff the boob by hand to get the tan nice and even again. Worked, because when it set, I had no claw mark. You're like a classic Holden and she's a panel beater.
Starting point is 01:03:50 She panel beater. She's just giving you a... Yeah, she'd done it all and then went in for a closer look and did a little buff of the boob.
Starting point is 01:03:57 Yeah, she did a little hand fix up. Extremely intimate. Yeah, was the extra price for the... For the buff, for the hand buff? No, no, no,
Starting point is 01:04:04 she didn't charge me extra. Really? No, no, no, she didn't charge me extra. Really? No, no, that was complimentary. You could have done that on purpose, that could be your thing. I could have. Oh no, I booked my other one. Oh no. Oh no.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Oh no, I've booked down here too, and around here, and up there. I've booked everywhere. Anyway, the tan came out alright, but it was very intimate to be sort of hand buffed by a lady in the middle of the damn street. Is it still on? On? Nah, it's sort of, nah, it's gone now. Oh, you can sit on your arms and legs,
Starting point is 01:04:28 but did you get your face done? No. Oh, do you not do the face? You get a little bit on the face, but you wash your face every day, so that comes off faster. Gotcha. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Why, you commented that I look white and then I didn't have a spray tan. Well, I didn't on the face. I can sit on the arms and the legs, but not on the face. So my foundation's a shade too light. So what you're saying is that my face
Starting point is 01:04:48 doesn't match the body. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're a butter face. I'm a butter face? You've got a hot bod, rock and rig, but you're a Raminga.
Starting point is 01:04:55 I'm saying out of this. Nah, you're ugly. Join in. You're ugly. Join in. Come on. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do you know these terrible fires in LA? The more I said, but you know the only good thing to come out of these fires? All the rad shots of the firefighting planes pulling the wildest manoeuvres you'll ever see in your life. Oh, it's insane stuff. Oh, amazing. Just like dipping down into valleys and then up and then they've shot inside the cockpit. It's like pull up, pull up.
Starting point is 01:05:40 I've been loving seeing the fire retardant stuff that they spray on. The red stuff. It's pink. Some of it's pink, like Barbie pink. And so you can see all these cars and trees and houses just like pink. It's wild. Private forecaster AccuWeather estimates the total damage and economic loss currently between $250 billion and $275 billion,
Starting point is 01:06:04 which would make the LA fires the costliest natural disaster in US history, surpassing Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Well, this is only the beginning, isn't it? Oh. Sadly. 100%. Yeah. So you've decided to do Disaster Week.
Starting point is 01:06:19 And today we're looking at the world's most expensive disasters. Great. Well, not really. Yeah, she quite heard that. Oh, yeah. Interesting. Oh, yeah, sorry. Oh, great. Well, not really. Yeah, she quite heard that. Oh, yeah. Interesting. Oh, yeah, sorry. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Interesting. How interesting for the brain. The top five, of the top five, four are all the same sort of disaster. What sort of disaster do you think it would be? Earthquake. Correct, earthquake. Damn it, I'm so dumb.
Starting point is 01:06:43 You are a bit thick. I'm so dumb. You are a bit thick. My'm so dumb. You are a bit thick. My edumacation was the most expensive-est. And it placed five. In 2008, the Sichuan earthquake in China. Is it where they met the source? It is the area that the Sichuan pepper is from.
Starting point is 01:06:57 It is the area. I love the numbing-ness. It's more than hate. It's a tingle. It numbs a little bit. I love. It's got to be one of my favourite flavourings. I'm not down for a tingle.
Starting point is 01:07:06 No, no. It happened in 2008. Yes, my sweet Thai chilli. That's not Sichuan peppers. Yeah, that's just sugar. Yeah, I don't even know what that is actually. Sugar and red food colour. Red sugar.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Yeah. With some fake seeds in it. Yeah, yeah. More sugar. That cost inflated to 2023 amount. That cost $184 billion in damage. That was the cost of that. Who pays?
Starting point is 01:07:34 Like, where does that money come from? Oh, like an insurance? Insurance companies? Insurance companies. Surely insurance companies are going to run out of money eventually. Well, when you think about the Christchurch earthquake, like, it just changed the spending of,
Starting point is 01:07:46 like, the entire country. Yeah. The entire spending, like, it just happens, doesn't it? Yeah. No one ever, you know, allows for it.
Starting point is 01:07:54 In 2023, the Turkey-Assyria earthquakes were the fourth most expensive at $157 billion. The Great Hanshin Earthquake in Japan in 1995, that was worth $400 billion. The Great Henshin Earthquake in Japan in 1995. That was worth $400 billion.
Starting point is 01:08:10 We all remember the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster that was the result of the earthquake and Tohoku and the resulting tsunami that affected the nuclear. So that was kind of a three in one. But it comes under earthquake because that was the initial cause.
Starting point is 01:08:25 That's what causes the T-Tsunami. An undersea megathrust. That isn't a two. That cost $487 billion. Wow. Now, number one on the list cost $888 billion. Also, all of these Elon Musk could have paid for. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:08:42 I was literally just thinking the same thing. Elon Musk can just sort this out. Yeah. So, at $888 billion, what do you think is the most expensive disaster in human history? I'll give you a clue. It's not an earthquake. This is the one that's different. Thailand.
Starting point is 01:08:58 No, because that was caused by a tsunami. Next clue. Explosion. Man-made. Hiroshima. No. An atomic bomb of sorts. That's what I said.
Starting point is 01:09:11 It's not an atomic bomb, but it is an atomic power. Titanic. You've been there. There was like a couple of hundred people. I checked your testicles afterwards for lumps. Chernobyl. Chernobyl. You do for your Chernobyl checkup, actually.
Starting point is 01:09:23 He does it every year. It's weird. He's like, today's the day. Well, I mean, that was a whole city that was just walked away from, abandoned. But it was also the fallout involved in it. Oh, wow. And how much area of land had to be abandoned, all of the costs involved on it.
Starting point is 01:09:38 And so how much was that? $888 billion inflated to 2023 prices. Wow. Nearly a trillion dollars. Well, Wow. So nearly a trillion, well, it's not nearly a trillion dollars, but you're getting there. I would have thought the big hurricanes would have had more.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Same. Like Hurricane Katrina at $195 billion. Hurricane Harvey, $155 billion. But these are all down. These are all down on the list. The South Asian floods in 2020, you'll remember that. Remember there was just those photos of Pakistan.
Starting point is 01:10:08 There was a satellite image of how much of Pakistan was covered. It was like a third of Pakistan was covered in water. So that was an expensive one. But yeah, they just don't seem to measure up to earthquakes because I guess once the flood recedes, it's not necessarily resulting in buildings needed to be pulled down. So I just Googled how much Christchurch cost, and that was all up, they reckon, $40 billion. Is that right?
Starting point is 01:10:28 Private insurers, $21 billion. EQC paid a fee of $10. So it's on the list here, yes. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake, well down the list. $40. Inflated for 2023 prices, closer to $54. $54 billion. I mean, for a little country like us, that's a lot.
Starting point is 01:10:44 But it's actually... Yeah, per capita. Yeah, per capita. 54 billion. I mean, for a little country like us, that's a lot. But it's actually... Yeah, per capita. Yeah, per capita. Per capita. It's actually behind the 2022 European heat waves. Huh? Which cost $42 billion. The heat waves?
Starting point is 01:10:56 The heat waves. That were happening in like London and all that. Yeah, just from loss of life, loss of productivity, the damage everyone's by it. God, this is a real grim fact of the day this week, isn't it? Oh, you wait. Okay. You wait.
Starting point is 01:11:08 You wait. That's nothing. You wait, baby. You ain't said nothing yet. Pew, pew. Jeepers. So today's fact of the day is the world's most expensive disaster was the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, which inflated to modern costs, cost $888 billion.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now, let me take you back to one of our last lockdowns 2022 2021 Touch on it lightly I'll touch on it lightly only to say that during that lockdown my partner Aaron turned 40
Starting point is 01:11:59 right, big birthday, I'd planned this party and it couldn't go ahead because of all this. So I was like, I've got to make the day special. And I had planned all these things, but it was lockdown. So I had to, you know, everything was contactless and people couldn't come over. So I had planned all these things. I got cigars. I got whiskey. I got these gifts.
Starting point is 01:12:22 And then I thought, do you know what this man has always talked about wanting to get into smoking meat oh yeah and I thought like a little barbecue smoker little barbecue smoker and I said
Starting point is 01:12:31 I'll get in touch with my dear friend Vaughan Smith and he can help me choose this barbecue to which he did right he sends me this link he's like
Starting point is 01:12:38 this is an approachable you know price point this is great it's nice and easy nice and simple so I buy this barbecue in the middle of a lockdown. I then have to drive out to one of
Starting point is 01:12:48 those depots 45 minutes away for a contactless pickup, which means that me, I have to pick up this barbecue on my own and put it into the back of my car because it's contactless. It was so
Starting point is 01:13:04 heavy. But I can't bring Aaron because it's contactless. It was so heavy. Yeah. But I can't bring Aaron because it's a gift. He can't know about it. I get it in the back of my car. I drive it back to my house. Then I've got to get it out. Like, I cannot tell you the drama and the trouble I had of getting this huge barbecue out.
Starting point is 01:13:18 Yeah. Anyway, then set the unused for... I don't... When did it get unboxed? When we moved house. So like a completely different home. So like three years? Yeah, two, three years.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he brought it out to use it once for the first time and it had a part that wasn't working properly. And then it's just sat in our garage ever since. Okay. And I was always being like, get into the thing.
Starting point is 01:13:44 You know, lots of YouTube tutorials. Why don't we get Vaughn around here? He can teach us how to use it. Da-da our garage ever since. Okay. And I was always being like, get into the thing. You know, lots of YouTube tutorials. Why don't we get Vaughn around here? He can teach us how to use it. Da-da-da-da-da. It's come to my attention as of the other day that he's just, he's regifted it. Wow. And not to me.
Starting point is 01:13:56 The most insulting part about this is when you have enough barbecues, I don't think eight's enough. I think it needs to be a nice round ten. And there's one more. Of this brand new. nine's a square number. This brand new unused barbecue has been re-gifted to a friend of ours. That probably didn't, was just like, oh, yeah, cool. That'd be sweet.
Starting point is 01:14:14 He's re-gifted his 40th birthday present that I lifted. Yeah. And I deadlifted this whole thing on my own. It's just gone. And he was like, oh, I didn't think you'd mind. He just didn't think I would mind. And I don't. Because it kind of sounds like you do.
Starting point is 01:14:32 No, it's not that I went to a lot of effort. Look, if she's a woman and she says she doesn't mind and nothing's wrong, then nothing's wrong. When we say we're fine, we mean we're fine. Why would we mean anything else? Why would they possibly not say exactly what they mean? It would be crazy for your brain to figure out something was wrong. I know, when you said
Starting point is 01:14:47 it wasn't. Anyway, I'm so deeply insulted. Did you hit him up about this? I was just like, what? I was like, that was your 40th birthday present. Yeah, but I'm never going to use it. Oh, we've got the web. I'm happy to just do some light grilling. Okay. Some fast grilling, you know.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Some light grilling on gas. Wow. And then, okay. Yeah. And fast grilling. Some light grilling on gas. He's not into the smokers. Gas. Wow. And then, okay. Yeah. And then obviously you're fine with his reaction. I'm so fine with it. His response to that.
Starting point is 01:15:12 We can all move on. And maybe we'll take some calls from people who are also fine with it. Yeah. Oh, Andrew, what are you fine with? No, I do want to take some calls though of when, because I don't know why it offends me so deeply that my gift has been regifted. Because I pride myself on buying gifts.
Starting point is 01:15:28 I always buy good gifts. When was your gift regifted? How did you find out? Maybe it was done in secret, swept out from underneath you. Because it hurts when you think that you've nailed the gift. 100%. Like you think, they are going to love this. And you did because he had said.
Starting point is 01:15:44 I had a hobby in this man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of smoking meats. And then Hayley's getting to eat smoked meats. Yeah. Like, this was just win-win all around. And he's re-gifted. It was an exciting day.
Starting point is 01:15:52 He's re-gifted it. Okay, well, we want to take your calls now. 0800 DALES AT M. Text through 9696. When was your gift re-gifted? The barbecue I bought for Aaron for his 40th birthday has been re-gifted. And you're fine with it? So fine with it. Whatever. That's fine. That's fine. Regifted. The barbecue I bought for Aaron for his 40th birthday has been regifted. And you're fine with it? So fine with it.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Whatever. That's fine. That's fine. Don't worry. After it's his gift to do with what he sees fit. Yeah. It's not like I paid for it and picked it up and made a whole thing and a plan and brought my friend Vaughn in to sort of help me with the process or anything like that.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Wow. So many people are regifting. And I guess if you don't want the gift, if you're not going to use it, why not? We're not saying it's wrong. It's just we're hearing from those whose gift was regifted because it hurts us. Yeah, it does. Some texts in. I gifted
Starting point is 01:16:34 my sister-in-law all my beautiful sentimental baby blankets. Oh, that's nice. Baby blankets. I noticed she had regifted them when I saw them in, on and around my mother-in-law's dog crates. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:51 Oh, these crap old blankets. Yeah. Must be old. I mean, it's reusing, isn't it? I suppose so. It doesn't matter. But if they had sentimental value, you'd be like, oh, I probably would have given them to someone else. Dogs doing that thing when it's starting to get an itchy bum and it's doing the skid across the blanket that housed and kept warm
Starting point is 01:17:07 your beautiful baby. Yeah. You'd be a bit like, oh, now it's got poo stains on it. Poops. Had poop stains on it then too, but they were the baby's poop stains. You know, that's different. My gift was raffled off on a TikTok live. We don't know what the gift was, but that's an insult to a gift.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Oh, wow. Raffled. I love that. I spotted my gift in the back of her but that's an insult to a gift. Oh, wow. Raffled. I love that. I spotted my gift in the back of her car in bags destined for the op shop. No. So it wasn't even like reselling. No. God, I've started the year with a boot full of op shop goods to drive around for six months.
Starting point is 01:17:38 No, I've got the op shop. Do you? I'm not going to say it on air because I'm worried people don't know. Inundated. They just kind of take and don't ask. Oh, thank God. No, I've got good stuff. I'm not giving them say it on air because I'm worried people don't know. They just kind of take and don't ask. Oh, thank God. No, I've got good stuff. I'm not giving them crap.
Starting point is 01:17:49 I've got good stuff. You have good stuff. I've got a place. I've got a place. Because, you know, there's no clothing bins anymore. I know. Why are all the clothing bins gone? People were just dumping their rubbish and household shit in them
Starting point is 01:18:00 and it was a nightmare. Which was a shame because they did raise a lot of money for child cancer patients. I'm donating quite a lot of shirts for tall people. Okay, great. Tall man shirts. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 01:18:10 If you're after a tall man shirt, get into your op shops in the coming months. Yeah, that's right. I caught my sister selling off our grandmother's heirloom ring. Heirloom ring.
Starting point is 01:18:20 Here's someone saying they were the heir to the fortune over the holidays. And man, I laughed because they were an adult and they should know better. My grandmother's heirloom ring on Marketplace. She fought me tooth and nail to get it after grandma passed. Got it immediately, tried to sell it off.
Starting point is 01:18:33 On Facebook Marketplace. Well, that's also a trashy place to sell an heirloom. That's so bad. You take it to a collector, right? That place that takes gold opposite the casino. But also if you fought your family member for this family heirloom just so that you could get the money for it. That sucks, man.
Starting point is 01:18:52 You suck. You suck. You should have taken the cash equivalent. When people die, money brings out the worst. It does. So, yeah, people are scumbags. People are regifting. Regifting trash bags.
Starting point is 01:19:04 But again, you're fine with it. I'm fine. People are regifting. Regifting trash bags. Do you know what I'm going to do? But again, you're fine with it. I'm fine. I'm just going to buy a barbecue smoke. For myself. Yes! I just wanted to get into it as a hobby. How have I?
Starting point is 01:19:14 Hey, guys, apparently being the company's most successful podcast isn't enough. They want us to tell people to tell more of their friends. So people are clearly liking it, but we have to tell them to tell others to like it. I would concentrate more on the shitter podcasts that the company makes. Yeah, same.
Starting point is 01:19:29 You know, the real losers out there. Yeah, like, oh no, no, no, we'll just, maybe we won't say nice. Maybe we should
Starting point is 01:19:34 even encourage people to listen to other podcasts that the company makes. Oh no, but only after ours. Yeah, nah, nah, don't do that.
Starting point is 01:19:40 And not more than ours. Give us a sexy little review though. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
