For a few years in the 1970s, the Mr. Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of plague.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Clark would have threatened him. Go and kill him. If you don't, I'm going to kill you and your wife and your son.

From the ZM Podcast Network, this is Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley's Big Pod. Thanks to Animates,
making happy happen for pets. Dripping wet from the spa, it's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
Thanks, Bryn. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley. Thanks, Bryn. Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Flesh, Vaughan
and Hayley. Hayley's back from her Wellington
weekend. I was going to say, Wellington, one of the
places not having a long weekend, and I feel
like it probably needed it to recover from Hurricane
Hayley. Yeah. They're like, thank God
she's gone. My apologies to everyone in
the Kauru Lounge yesterday who maybe saw me
in a crumpled heap,
sunglasses on, hat down. I had a
great weekend in Wellington.
It was having one of its days.
I heard it was having one of its days. It was lovely.
The weather was beautiful.
Hyping hot in the hut, I heard, yesterday.
Yeah, probably. I don't know.
I didn't leave the house.
And then just kind of crawled my ass
to the airport at about 4pm and that was it.
Right. Top six today, Vaughan.
There's been a big police operation over the weekend.
Yes, an Aruzuru operation trolley took place.
13 arrests made in a trolley stealing ring
that I believe they were taking the trolleys to scrap metal them.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, take them to the scrappies.
Because they're worth like 500 bucks each, eh, trolleys?
Well, they used to be.
I remember supermarkets back in the day would get helicopters.
They'd pay for them to go and look in people's yards.
West Auckland people chuck them in creeks and stuff and fish them out.
There should be some sort of reward.
I think there was.
Lots of supermarkets did that.
If you found a trolley in the middle of the bloody burbs and dropped it back,
they gave you a bit of money?
Well, my one locks the wheels so you can't leave the car park.
Posh.
Yeah.
Wow, that's swish.
That's posh.
I know, it's posh.
Very posh.
Wow, that's posh.
You ever go to any of your supermarkets to do all four turning wheels?
I hate those trolleys.
I like the front wheels to turn, the back wheels have got to stay rigidly straight.
The back stay rigid.
But I have used those all four trolleys.
I don't like them.
It's a completely
different driving experience.
Well, Operation Trolley
was a stink name.
Yeah.
So I've got the top six
better names
for Operation Trolley.
Well, you'd like to see
the police put more effort
into naming an operation
rather than arresting.
I would like to freelance
for the police.
Okay, coming up with names.
At a minimal wage
to come up with names
for operations.
They tell me the basics, I
give them a cool name for it. Okay.
And then I draw a police pension. That's coming up
also, you've got some Fassian news.
I do have Fassian news. This is perhaps some
Fassian news that I'm not sure I'm going to get into.
Right. I think I've been getting into this.
Yeah, I know you have. I noticed
this last week.
Today you're in your Birks.
Yeah, I'm Birkenside, but it was raining last week and Yeah, yeah. Today you're in your Birks. Yeah, I'm Birk. I'm Birk and so,
but it was raining last week and I did
participate in this
Fassian trend.
Yeah.
Next on the show
though, a man has
had his penis stuck
to something.
Not on purpose.
This weird series of
events that sounds
like a lie you'd tell
if your penis got
stuck to something.
This is my worst
nightmare is my penis
getting stuck somewhere
and then it goes
global news.
Yeah.
Embarrassing.
We'll talk about this next.
Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Benson Byrne pretty slowly.
Rave reviews from his show Friday, Spark Arena.
So many backflips.
So many.
Just many.
So many backflips.
Very springy ankles.
Be careful.
You'll break your neck.
Those knees aren't going to last a lifetime, are they?
No, no.
No matter how softly you land.
But yeah, it looked amazing.
Apparently, great concert.
At the moment, it is negative one degrees Celsius in Alberta, Canada.
Is it?
And it's 10 a.m. on a Sunday.
So the day has begun.
Okay.
So that's cold.
It's a cold time of the year in lots of parts of Canada, Alberta specifically.
Yeah, there was a huge dump of snow, New York and America and Canada last week.
Big freeze.
Yeah, big freeze.
Well, on the 12th of January, we're talking peace.
You've said January quite funny there.
January.
You're sort of doing a dip with a vowel.
January.
Yeah.
What's happening?
Because you said that word funny last week. What was that word last week you couldn't? Propeller. January. Yeah. What's happening? Because you said that word funny last week.
What was that word last week you couldn't?
Propeller.
Yeah, propeller.
You were like propeller.
It's propeller.
I haven't been getting dizzy when I stood up.
And I thought it was inner ear problems and a bit of vertigo maybe.
But maybe I've got a brain tumour.
Anyway.
Well, we laugh now.
It's affecting everything. Let's laugh, but let's bit of verts. But maybe I've got a brain tumour. Anyway. Well, we laugh now. It's affecting everything.
Let's laugh, but let's get that looked at.
Yeah.
Well, it was the 12th of January.
Yep.
Early hours of Sunday morning when inside the East Village pub and eatery,
one patron got a little out of hand.
Okay.
And started being very aggressive, very intoxicated.
And there was a physical dispute.
The dispute spilled out onto the streets.
Wealthy Man, who I pre-mentioned was not only intoxicated,
but also aggressive.
Yep.
Fell over onto the icy footpath.
Oh, dear.
How did he fall?
Well, his pants fell down.
And of course, when your pants get around your knees or lower,
it affects your ability to take a wide step and balance yourself.
He fell.
Now, when his pants fell down,
his underpants also fell down. That's so shame.
How embarrassing. It gets worse.
It's like freezing cold.
It gets worse. It's little. That's almost tucked up
inside itself. The icy footpath
was so cold that when his penis,
bare penis,
touched it,
it did that thing where if you put your tongue on a
metal pole, and it melted, but then all immediately refroze.
Oh, God.
And his naked penis was stuck to the footpath,
making it impossible for him to get back up and continue the fight
and also being in extreme pain.
How embarrassing.
Well, you've lost the fight at this stage.
You've lost the fight.
Well, I think you lost the fight the minute your pants come down.
I've never seen anybody successfully win a fight with their pants around their ankles.
No.
First responders, the cops were called, but also they had to call the EMTs.
Wait, but once it stuck.
It stuck.
He couldn't get it off.
He couldn't put water.
Because every time he pulled it, it would hurt.
It's so cold where we say, oh, you put tepid room temperature water on your windscreen, right?
Because you don't want the shock.
It's so cold.
It would just freeze straight away.
It freezes before it melts.
Have you seen videos of people,
they throw water and it freezes?
The boiling water on your tarp?
Yeah.
And it freezes before it hits the ground.
That's the sort of cold we're talking about.
Plus he's lying on top of it, remember?
He's face down.
So to pour water in there.
Do you think that he's gone from a hot environment,
was it a bistro, the eatery?
Yes, it would be.
So they do things a little bit differently there as well.
Small plates.
Do you think that...
Designed for sharing and they kind of come out of it ready.
It's maybe there's a fire going inside.
Maybe he had a bit of a sweat on, a warm...
Sort of crotch.
Yeah, a bit of a sweaty crotch.
And then outside pants come down stark.
Yeah.
Because it would have to be a little bit moist, right, to stick.
Yeah.
But do you know what?
Yes, 100%.
We've got a clammy crotch.
Also, the funny thing is this happened the 13th of January, did you say?
Yeah, 12th.
Like, he thought he'd got away with this, right?
No, no, it's global news.
It's global news now.
Yeah, two weeks later, it's global news.
So who's sent around the footage And someone sent it to the news
To TMZ
Do you know what he
He should have done
Is weed
Right
No but
If he's lying down
And he's frozen
And he had a little wee
The warmth would seep out
It's six level cold
Cause there's
They don't just stick
Your belly to them
Yeah
Oh god yeah
They don't show
Like they've blurred
They've pixelated the footage
But they literally have to
The first responders Have to yank him
and peel him off the pavement.
They peel him off the pavement.
I'm coming, I'm coming for these images.
Because they said the water that would be hot enough
that could guarantee wouldn't freeze him furthermore
would be boiling and it would cause burns.
Right, okay.
They have heavily pixelated this.
Yeah, and I think they left a bit behind on the pavement.
Oh, gosh.
Do you think this is one of those moments?
What? Where every now and then something will happen, you'll re-e a bit behind on the pavement. Oh, God. Do you think this is one of those moments? What?
Where every now and then something will happen,
you'll re-evaluate your life?
Yes.
I was going to say, after your drink.
This has been peeled off the, yeah, you're maybe like.
Re-evaluate.
Maybe I am the problem.
Yeah.
Re-evaluate.
You know, I may have had a couple too many.
Yeah, you're drinking.
A rock bottom.
You know, they say you have to hit rock bottom.
You'd hope that someone's rock bottom.
You'd hope that's rock bottom.
I don't know how much, yeah, how much lower you could get to penis frozen to the pavement.
Yeah.
Jeepers.
Archies.
Right, well, next we've got some fashion news.
You kicked off the song before.
I wanted to ask you where the weirdest place your penis has been stuck.
Oh, damn it.
Oh, well.
Oh, well, we can't do it.
We'll get to that another day.
Another day.
Yeah.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley.
So here is the fashion news.
A unexpected arrival on the fashion scene, I'd say.
It's the hiking boot.
And specifically the, is it Salomon?
Salomon?
Salomon.
Salomon.
Is it an A?
It's an A.
Yeah, it is.
Salomon.
Salomon.
Ski gear, right?
Yeah, they do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the Salomon sort of, it's like a It's an A. Yeah, it is. Because they make skig air, right? Yeah, they do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the Salomon sort of, it's like a sneaker hiking boot.
So not your full ankle, you know, full thing.
I've got the full ankle ones.
They're like the best hiking boots I've ever owned.
Really?
Yeah, so good.
It's the real kind of strappy, sort of sneaker-y looking extra thing.
They're all the rage. They've slipped a strappy, sort of sneaker-y looking extra thing. They're all the rage.
They've slipped into the mainstream.
They've come off the treks and the hikes,
and they're just hitting the main street.
And people are absolutely lapping them up.
Just a little photo.
So, yeah, okay, that's exactly, that's what I just Googled,
Salomon sneaker hiking boot, and that was what came up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got some like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So people are, they're just almost in a way that like new balances
and, you know, like the dad shoe kind of like came in.
This is the new replacement.
That would be your dream if you were a brand.
Like do you remember when Stanley wasn't a thing apart from like builders?
Tradies.
And tradies.
And now like everyone wants, you know, a Stanley.
The guy that was the marketing guy behind Crocs
was also the guy behind Stanley.
Oh, really?
Like two big swings.
Yeah.
Like retire now, like retire.
Oh God, yeah.
You're not doing better than that.
These things happen in three.
Okay, so one more brand.
What's the next thing that's not, but he could.
But that's the thing, these shoes.
This is kind of following a-
Nazis.
I don't think that's coming back. Well, it's a kind of following. Nazis. I don't think that's coming back.
Well, it's a bit of a groundswell.
Yes, they're not coming back.
We've had a couple of sick hails in the last.
We actually have, actually.
More than usual.
So this is kind of following along from like lots of things.
And I know you're into this fletch a lot.
Like North Face, Patagonia, all these kind of outdoor brands
becoming like high street fashion.
Yeah.
Why?
Like the Patagonia thing.
I remember that was maybe a couple of years ago.
It went crazy.
Everyone was like, you've got to get a fleece.
But that's –
You've got to get a fleece.
I've got a fleece.
You've got a fleece.
Yeah, you've got a nice fleece.
You've got a nice fleece.
I never wear it.
That's one of those ethical companies that I think they put all their money –
Listen, that's how I justified the spending as well.
It's actually a donation to the environment.
Those ones are okay.
Because I'm looking at them, these aren't me.
These are too zigzaggy, too for noise.
No.
You want hiking boots.
No, but I was just saying if I had to.
Oh, right.
Aaron's been doing this a little bit.
He went and got some Timberlands,
but not like the Timberlands that are fashion.
But then again, like Timberlands, right?
They came into fashion and, you know, they weren't supposed to be a fashion boot.
They're a utility boot.
But Aaron got some like hiking Timberlands and he's been wearing them to the pub a bit.
They look all right.
Okay.
Hiking Timberlands.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, they do.
They do a whole bunch of hiking.
Outdoor stuff.
Yeah, it's all the rage now.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I'm looking at some now. So everyone's rocking around with their North Face jacket. I mean, you wear a whole bunch of hiking, outdoor stuff. Yeah, it's all the rage now. Oh, yeah, I can't look at that stuff now.
So everyone's rocking around with their North Face jacket.
I mean, you wear a lot of North Face.
It is a bit weird, though, wearing these hiking shoes in the city.
No, it's not.
That's what's happening.
But that's why I got them, because they're good for travelling.
Because if you're in the city, you can wear them.
But if you're also doing a day walk or whatever, they're perfect.
Totally.
And if you were going to go out to like a bar
or a restaurant or something,
they're perfectly acceptable.
Now hiking shoes are accepted.
Trail shoes.
This is like people driving big four-wheel drives
in inner city.
And they're clean.
I don't think it's.
Yeah.
It's not right.
It's not fit for purpose.
Get in the bush.
Yeah.
Climb a mountain and then come back today.
That thing needs to be put into four-wheel drive
and absolutely thrashed up a dirt path. Yeah. Oh, well, it's in the bush. Yeah. Climb a mountain and then come back to me. That thing needs to be put into four wheel drive and absolutely thrashed
up a dirt path.
Yeah.
Oh well,
it's all the rage.

Where do you keep your onion and garlic powder?
Because out of all your spices or, you know, your packet-y things,
those are the ones that get all clumpy.
I don't think I've ever had a packet of those.
Haven't you?
Garlic powder.
I'll just use actual garlic or the stuff in a tub.
Nah, but it serves a slightly different purpose, I think.
Fresh garlic to powder.
Niche question.
Really niche from us.
Really niche from us.
But this has been doing the rounds online because people are always like,
why are they getting so clumpy?
And they're like, you've got to put it in the fridge.
If you store them in the fridge
it'll stop it
from clumping.
It'll last longer.
Because it's a humidity thing, right?
Yeah.
And you can't control your humidity.
It says,
I've just googled
what's the average humidity
when you leave it in a refrigerator
it's been between 30 and 50%.
Right.
So...
Wow, the results.
Warm leftovers from dinner
will cause humidity levels
to creep up in a fridge
if you put something hot in there.
Steaming.
Yeah.
You've got to put your food in a container.
Yeah.
Where are we at with that?
Do you put your hot things straight into the fridge so they cool down
and have less of a warm period?
I do.
Yeah.
I'm not afraid because I just want to get it done.
If after dinner I'm just tidying up, doing dishes, it just goes in a thing.
I don't want to leave it on the bench because I might forget
and then I'll sit on the bench all night.
What do you do with a handbag, Chuck, though?
Straight in.
Straight in the fridge?
Straight in the fridge.
Man, I let it get a little bit bacteria-y on the counter.
Yeah, I like to keep it in there.
Let it have a little fester.
Warm fester.
Result?
Give it a little fester.
Well, people said in the pantry 97%.
It's close.
97% of people said in the pantry.
Really niche question.
Really niche.
Niche question.
To put it in perspective, 6,194 people said in the pantry, 200 said in the fridge.
Yeah.
Mince is on a shelf.
Yeah, we run a good poll.
Caitlin Margaret says, minced garlic and ginger in the fridge, all powders in the pantry.
Yeah, the minced stuff, 100%.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
In the bin, says Chanel.
Okay.
She's got no time for garlic by the sounds of things.
Love garlic.
Sarah said,
never heard of such a thing as putting it in the fridge.
Side note,
if anyone has tips for stopping it clumping together
into one big block or more layers.
It's put in the fridge, Sarah.
I think it's put in the fridge. Yeah, that's sort of why we're asking, more less. It's put in the fridge, Sarah. I think it's put in the fridge.
Yeah, that's sort of why we're asking, Sarah.
It's valuable space in the fridge, though.
But also, do you get less clumping if it's in a glass jar with like a clickable sealable?
No, because those spices.
Because mine's in glass jars.
No, those stuff that, yeah, the ones you buy in glass jars, they clump as well.
They clump as well.
They need to put those little silicon packets in.
Silica.
Silica.
Yeah, that'd be perfect.
That's not a bad idea.
You could probably just grab one from your vitamins or shoes or like a food one.
They're always in your shoes, eh?
Yeah.
Always in your shoes.
Always in your shoes.
In the fridge, said Sarah, only as of like two weeks ago because I read it somewhere.
Hashtag Stuart on TikTok.
People do say this.
I was reading, they say, and then they say
something that's on TikTok. It was just on TikTok.
You were reading some kind of journal.
Yeah, as if. And Sarah said it's changed
her life putting it in the fridge. Okay.
Sarah, just reflect. Has it changed
your life?
Or is it just something that's slightly better?
It sounds like it might have. My pantry, or
the shelf above the stove where I have these
boxes, is just crammed with boxes
of spices I needed
for one recipe
four years ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Same.
And you do that thing
my wife does
where rather than checking
when she goes to the supermarket
if we've already got it,
she'll just buy herself
a fresh new box.
Yeah.
I need juniper berries
four years later.
I need juniper berries.
We've still got juniper berries.
They haven't gone anywhere.
Chloe said,
in the cupboard, I'm not a psychopath.
Smallbrook?
No, Jones.
Sorry, the airport yesterday, but I was in such a state,
I avoided saying hello.
I was like, she can't see me like this.
Right.
It might be her thing.
What?
Rough, coughed up women.
Rex.
Rex.
Wellington Rex.
I can fix it.
I can fix it.
Yeah, okay.
I should have said hi.
Chloe said you wouldn't keep raw onions in the fridge.
Why would you keep powder in there?
I keep, if I slice an onion and only use half,
I always put the other half in the fridge.
In a container, though, because you don't want onion seepage.
Yeah, it can seep.
It can affect other things, can't it?
You don't want your cordial tasting onion.
I don't mind.
I love onion.
I have everything tasting onion.
Well, have you got an open top to your cordial jug?
Yeah, I do.
Do you?
Did you lose the top?
I lost the top, yeah.
Cordial?
You're really rolling the dice here having an open top cordial jug.
Yeah, I have my one litre Raro raspberry.
Just an open top.
This boy's always got Raro in the fridge, eh?
You know it.
Always ready to go.
Mints and Raro, side by side.
Shannon says, Hans, I'm an IBS girlie.
One sniff of either of these things and I'm on the toilet all afternoon.
So garlic, onion, everything powders a no from me.
I feel for her.
There you go.
Sorry to hear you go through that, Shannon.
Our niche silly little pole.

So this has actually been around for quite some time,
but it has been shut down again by Jennifer Aniston herself,
who has been rumoured to be dating Barack Obama.
I just don't even know the origins of this.
Well, Michelle Obama didn't go to the inauguration and didn't go...
To Jimmy Carter's funeral.
And that has got the right right wing rumor mill going.
Absolutely going.
I mean, she just probably didn't want to go.
Like, you know, when your partner's like-
She also has a life of her own.
Yeah.
And also, no, I don't want to attend Trump's inauguration.
Barack, you have to.
But also like she could have some things going on as well.
Like, do you remember when, was it Kate Middleton disappeared
and everyone was like,
she's dead. No, she's got cancer.
Now we're not saying she does, but you're right.
She could have all sorts of things going on.
Or she just didn't want to go to
Trump's inauguration, would you?
No, she didn't and who else didn't go?
The Clintons were there.
I don't think Melania went, did she?
Yeah, she was in that hat.
She was at the
funeral. Oh, right. Yeah, no, I don't think Melania went, did she? Yeah, she was in that hat. Oh, it's the inauguration. She was in the... Oh, yeah, she was at the...
I was thinking of the funeral.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah, no, I don't think she did.
I don't think she went to that, no.
So, yeah, this sparked these rumours that,
one, Barack Obama's marriage with Michelle was on the rocks.
Yeah.
And two, that he, and this has been going for some time,
has been dating Jennifer Aniston.
I could see them together.
I could see them together.
Very intelligent people, both very beautiful people.
But there's no, like, she's addressed this before
because there was one of those like gossip magazines
that was like, Barack and Jennifer's wild weekend away.
And I think Jimmy Kimmel like pulled it out
when Jennifer was on the show and was like,
let's talk about this.
And she was just like, oh my God.
Like, this is so stupid.
Where does this come from?
Shut it down then.
And it's had to do this now.
Cause she's like, guys, I barely know him.
They're not even really friends.
They're not like, it's not like they hang out all the time
and like their circles cross.
She's like this this I barely know him
Let alone
I'm dating him
But so
Over the weekend
She shut it down again
Yeah she shut it down again
She was asked about it
And
She basically was just like
I'm just putting an end to this
And people who were
An insider
Said
That she just was like
This is terrible
Like
She doesn't want Michelle
To get upset about these things. Yeah. Because
Michelle and Baraka, 100%,
absolutely fine.
There's just nothing to it whatsoever.
This is not like, because when it comes
to celebrities dating and those rumours,
you see how it
kind of comes about. This one is so
random. Very, very
random. So weird. This is the most like clutching
it's like who even,
it's the crazy right wing people on the internet
being like, there's only one reason.
Barack Obama is dating.
The government's done this
and they're controlling the weather.
Yeah, Jennifer Aniston is actually controlling the weather
and Barack Obama.
Nothing to it.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
From the unmoderated comment section,
this is the top six.
Operation Trolley in Rotorua.
Saw 13 people arrested.
Returned 45 trolleys to Rotorua businesses.
It was a three-day operation.
I reckon if you were in the police,
that would be a fun little operation, eh?
Yeah, it would be.
Because you'd be dealing with the worst of the worst
all the time and they're like,
hey, should we do an operation and get some trolleys back?
I'd be like, stay cowed.
Yeah, what a relief.
Yeah.
That would be really fun.
Yes, let's do that.
Yeah.
So police arrested seven people
possessing shopping trolleys
for receiving an item worth less than $500.
So like receiving stolen property.
Yeah.
And they were given verbal warning.
Six other people were arrested for historical offences,
including theft, assault, arrest warrants, bail breaches and trespassing.
But trolleys were there in.
Yeah, right.
Police also issued 19 trespass notices,
trespassing individuals in possession of a trolley
from the trolley's respective store.
So 45 trolleys returned to businesses.
So were these all just from different
supermarkets and the like? Yeah. Not just one?
Yeah. Right. And they are expensive.
They are. Yeah, $400 or $500
each. Yeah, well I just think

I know that that supermarket is often over the loudspeaker saying,
please don't let your children hang off the trolleys.
Let them hang off the trolleys.

That must be a West Auckland thing because that doesn't come over the PA at my supermarket.
Well, it's all the time.
Oh, really?
Like trolley safety.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't hang off the trolleys.

not in the main part of the trolley.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah. There's a whole part of the trolley. Right, okay.
Yeah, there's a whole lot of trolley safety.
Which now, like when I was, when my daughters were younger,

But yesterday with a trolley loaded with food down the ramp,
I did that thing where you lift yourself up on the trolley. I love doing that.
Dude, it rules.
And you know what?
I wasn't in the right footwear for it because I was in my Birks,
but in winter, if you're wearing like a closed-toed shoe
and there's a turn, you dig one foot in
and it spins you around the corner and starts.
I love the turn.
Yeah, where you get to slalom around
and just go the whole length of the ramp.
Small children should be under a large bag of potatoes
at the bottom of the trolley.
They should be.
To weigh them down.

Kmart has a new viral item.
It is a dupe for something.
I was trying to look up the original one, it's like
$200 or something.
And it is a
like, you wrap it around
your waist, it's mostly used for
period pains, like down on your abdomen.
And it's like a heated
thing, like an electric, like having
a permanent kind of hottie that wouldn't get cold.
Could you use this instead of like a
wet sack or a heat pack if you had like a bad knee?
I was going to say, turn around onto the back.
Turn around the lower back.
Oh, nice.
And doesn't it vibrate as well?
Yeah.
So they call it, it's called a period bowel.
It gets warm, it vibrates,
and it's supposed to help with menstrual cramps.
And a lot of people, it's 29 bucks.
A lot of people...
It's not going to set fire to your house.
I was just about to say.
Let's not leave this on the charge over the night. They're usually pretty good with that stuff though, aren't they,
with their electronics?
They haven't had too many bloody houses ablaze.
So in general, there's like other companies that make these kind of bouts,
have them for about $150 to $200 to help with this.
How does Kmart do it?
They always do this.
They have the dupes and they're great products.
They're so great.
And people, especially people who have things like endometriosis,
where the pain is really unbearable, are like, this is incredible.
And rather than spending $200, it's like, what, $29?
Insane.
Yeah, it's absolutely amazing.
And people are swearing by it.
They're like, oh, my God, I bought this for my daughter.
It really helps.
Barely feel any of my cramps.
Kmart period belt.
Did you girls see this?
The wearable belt?
I literally want to add it to my cart right now.

Do you like the smell of a whole wheat bag?
I hate it.
I like it.
I like a popcorn.
Like I want to feel like a colonel.
And I just feel a major...
Not a colonel in the army, okay?
I was going to say,
could you put, like, corn in a wheat bag,
but then it would just turn to popcorn?
Delicious.
It would.
It would smell good the first time.
Do you put a glass of water in when you're...
Sometimes I have.
Erin makes me.
But I think it makes it not as hot
It does
But it makes it smell more

Well, look, if you, because
reading this, 91% of people that have a period

Got some bits and pieces because school starts again soon.
Doing some stuff.
Time had slipped away.
The girl said, after we finished on the way home,
they said, we're hungry.
And I said-
Hi, hungry, I'm dad.
Yep.
Because that's comedy.
Yeah.
That's humour.
I'm hungry.
Yeah.
Hi, hungry.
Yeah.
People say to me, what made you want to be a comedian?
My dad with killer jokes like that.
Hi, hungry, I'm dad.
I say, what about Subway?
Okay.
And the girls are like, yeah, cool.
Yeah.
Great.
Then we get there And we're walking in
And they're like
How does this work
And I said
How does Subway work
Right
Cause
Now just remind us again
12 nearly 13
13 next week
Yep
And
11 this year
And never had Subway
So
I'm like
What do you mean
How does it work And they're're like, well, when you
go to McDonald's, you just say what you want.
You don't get to see them make it. They're just
getting back there, getting it done
and then they pass it to you. Yeah. And I was like,
wait a minute, when did you last have Subway?
And they both look at me and they're like, we've never
had Subway. I was like, this is
your first Subway experience?
And they're like, yeah.
Where do we start? How did they miss out?
I was like, we start at the end of the line that says, order here.
Yeah.
So we walk down and they're like, what do we do first?
What?
And there's someone in front of us, so we've got a bit of buffer time.
We're not going to be there.
And there's not a huge line or anything.
So it's not like I'm doing that thing where some people wait
until they get up there to decide what they want.
Oh, my God.
I hate that.
When you're in a massive line
and the person in front of you
has been there
20 minutes like you have
and then they look at
what's on the menu.
What comes with the
um
oh nah
oh Matt
get out.
We wanted to avoid that
even though there was
nobody behind us.
I was like
well the first step is
you pick your bread.
You pick your bread bits.
And I said and if you don't want bread you can have a wrap yeah hell have a salad you do you and they're like what's the best bread and they're panicking because the guys get into the
part where he passes it off to the next person oh yeah yeah for salads yeah yeah were they doing a
foot long or a six inch so they said i said what do you doing a foot long Or a six inch So they said I said
What do you want a foot long
Or a six inch
I gave them the option
There's no way
They couldn't have put away
A foot long
No
I can barely do a foot long
But
This is why I asked
Did you teach them about
The six inch
You don't want the five inch
You don't want the
You don't want the second cut
You don't want someone's
Sloppy five inch
Yeah
I'm not taking your five
You want them to
Or you want the six and a half
Yeah you want the six and a half yeah you want the six and a half
when they misjudge that cart
yeah
I said what
what one do you want
and they're like
ah
and then we looked up there
and I ran them through
some options
and they're like
meatball
I was like
wait what
what breed did we choose
well no that was
first of all I said
what do you want
they said meatball
I said you both want meatball
they're like
and I said bingo
we'll get a foot long meatball
and then they'll cut it in half and you're just gonna have half each oh see that wouldn't have worked for my brother and me because we would have fought I said, you both want meatball? They're like, and I said, bingo, we'll get a foot long meatball.
And then they'll cut it in half and you're just going to have half each. Oh, see, that wouldn't have worked for my brother and me
because we would have fought.
Oh, no, we would have had to get the tape measuring out.
How many balls in your six inch?
You're getting too many meatballs.
I didn't get more meatballs than you.
I got three.
You would have fully pulled the sandwich apart
and weighed all the individual asses
and remade the sandwich at home evenly and fairly.
Yeah.
So they're like, meatball.
I was like, perfect.
We'll go for a footlong.
And I was like, look at that, because the footlong's not twice the price of the six inch.
We're making savings here, baby.
This is budgeting.
And they're like, okay.
And then they're like, what bread's the best?
Because we're starting to panic.
Because as I said, the guy's getting ready to shift off the next one to the next person.
Malted seed and rye.
No.
Italian herbs and cheese.
No, malted seed and rye.
Quick check on you over you. I haven't
had it for a long time.
But I'd go, yeah, Italian
herbs and cheese. Is there a
Palmer's? No. That's kind of
been folded into Italian herbs and cheese.
Okay, yeah, do Italian herbs and cheese. Quick check.
Quick check. And the producers both, what breed are you
going for? No one asked for malted seed and rye. Beautiful brown
brown bread.
What? Very seedy.
What breed are you getting at Subway?
White.
White.
Are you kidding me?
What are you, scared of Italian herbs?
Nobody does just white.
Yes, it's so soft and fluffy.
Like, it's the best.
So is malted seed and rye.
Yeah, but it's got like...
Shut up.
It's beautiful.
It's got grains.
It's got seeds.
You'd be all over those, Fletch.
I would like stats from Subway on what the most popular breed is
because I'd be willing to put some money on Italian herbs and cheese.
It'll be Italian herbs and cheese.
Listen, my order is just very plain.
It's like all of the veggies because I'm a vegetarian,
like jalapenos and all.
Shall I turn the mic off?
I'm on the verge of it.
She lost me at white.
Yeah.
Please, can we go to Shannon to save the producer's booth?
Italian herbs and cheese. Yeah. She has Italian save the producers booth Italian herbs and cheese
Yeah
Italian herbs and cheese
Italian herbs and cheese
So I said
Italian herbs and cheese
Is the best
Yeah
It's got cheese on it
It's like a cheese
And they were like
Sold
And then the meatballs go on
He's like what cheese do you want
And they're looking
And they're just like
I don't know what they
I was like
There's so many
Smoked
Yeah
Smoked cheese
Because it was the orange
I think.
That was just sold on the thing.
Then here comes the question that I'd forgotten.
Toasted.
Fresh or toasted.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they look at me and they're like,
what does this mean?
Father, what does it mean?
Guide us, Father.
Father, you've led us blindly into a maze.
And I say, well, fresh is like that,
but toasted is kind of like a toasted sandwich.
And they're just like, who's not getting toasted?
Somebody else.
Toasted, my man.
And so he gets that.
And then I'm like, while it's toasting,
we need to get on board with what we've got here on the salad situation.
There was a light bit of debate.
Yeah.
And I said, if you only want, like,
if you want something, August, that Indy doesn't,
you can say, just put that on one half.
Yeah, you can do that.
Play the system.
Play the game.
We can do that?
We can do that?
Yeah.
I'm like, we do what we want.
Subway, we eat fresh.
We're a Subway, man.
We eat fresh.
And then we get into the sauces.
That was a mind-blowing as well.
Where did we go?
Where did we go?
We get a bit of mayo?
They just went mayo, nothing spicy.
Mayo and a drip of garlic aioli.
Right.
What was their overall?
So then,
hold on,
we get to the end
and it's getting wrapped up.
The stickers got on her
and then the lady said,
would you like any cookies?
Now she directly addressed them.
Would you like any cookies?
And they did that.
They both in sync
did a slow head turn
and I was like,
hells yes.
They haven't had
Subway cookies even?
I don't think they have.
This is almost bordering on neglect. It is neglect. Like that you haven't given them The sandwich you haven't had Subway cookies even? I don't think they have. This is almost bordering on neglect.
It is neglect.
Like, that you haven't given them Subway cookies.
The sandwich you can understand.
But a Subway cookie?
Are you kidding me?
And they were like, what ones?
And I was like, well, what ones do you like?
And they're like, I feel like we should bring...
The white chocolate macadamia.
We should bring surfs.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm just sort of just putting neglect here.
So I was just like, well, what's the deal with cookies?
And she said six for six.
Right.
And I was like, yeah, well, one of each,
because they're going to need to try all the cookies
to know what their favourite is.
Because it's got to be Oaten Raisin.
It's just like up there with Christmas.
No, you don't get Oaten Raisin.
White Chop Macadamia.
White Chop Macadamia slaps, but there's something.
Yeah, M&M's ridiculous.
M&M's trash.
I love it.
Oaten Raisin's gooey.
Yeah, they are.
It's a gooey bicky.
The moisture in the oat. Yeah, it's a gooey bicky. The moisture in the oat.
Yeah, it's a gooey bicky.
Right.
So anyway,
it was across the board
a wild success.
But they loved it?
It was just wild.
Yeah, it was just,
I just felt that they'd had it before.
And then being faced
with this many questions.
Yeah, they loved it.
They loved the cookies.
What did they think of the meatballs?
Yeah, good.
Yeah, good, eh?
Yeah, good, eh?
Meatballs,
what are you doing on a sandwich?
Are you crazy?
You'd never do that at home.
It's wild that that's an option.
If you had meatballs left over, meatballs at home,
there's no way you're like, oh, I'm going to make a sandwich.
Yeah.
I love that it's like chicken, cold cuts, you know,
da-da-da-da, normal sandwich filling.
Hey.
How about some sloppy meatballs?
You want the sauciest meatballs you've ever, ever seen
slopped on a sandwich that you better eat quick
because that sauce is going to start
sogging that bread up.
They're going to put lettuce on it.
It's so weird.
I'm not going to do lettuce.
You can get out.
Get right the hell out of there with that.
But anyway, yeah.
Successful days.
Do you think with the great debate this week
we could do Subway cookies?
Maybe.
We could debate some Subway cookies.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I don't know.
Raisins.
I don't know.
Raisins.
Get out of here.

Seems to be targeting me personally

Neither

And she would very much like it

Yes, please. To watch. Yeah, you can come over. Yes, please.
To watch.
Yeah, but you'd have to leave, please.
Anyway, so there is, speaking of love, speaking of true love,
new reality TV show coming to Netflix that I just watched the trailer
and I got a little chill and a little fizz in the nose.
Oh, okay.
This could make me cry.
It's a Japanese reality series called Offline Love,
but it's set and filmed, well, it's not set,
it's a reality show, it's all genuine.
This genuinely does look like this.
In Nice, in France.
Okay.
It's called Offline Love,
and they're trying to take people back to the time
before the internet, basically.
Before we were all heads down on our phones.
Heads down on the phones
or heads down on the apps looking for love.
So it's recreating these moments,
love letters, meet cutes,
and promises to wait for each other
at a planned time and place.
No phone, like not even phone calls.
So it's kind of orchestrated
from what I can gather from this,
because it is in Japanese.
Yeah.
From what I can gather from this
is there's kind of like a panel of people
kind of watching
and these 10 contestants,
10 men and women,
set them loose in Nice, in France,
without phones
and they have access to letterboxes.
And so they can write letters
What?
to the other people taking part in the show.
Okay.
But they can't like text or contact each other
in any other way other than these letters.
Then they're kind of swimming around Nice,
which is a really big city,
hoping to run into each other
or like make a connection
or kind of have what feels like
a kind of chance encounter.
I mean, I'm assuming the producers are...
Orchestrating stuff.
Orchestrating the, yeah, encounters.
Watching the trailer,
which I really recommend
if you get some time today to watch,
called Offline Love.
Watching the trailer,
they are being like,
how did they miss that?
You know, because they can't get too involved
because they're from afar. They can't like message them and say, there they are being like, how did they miss that? You know, because they can't get too involved because they're from afar.
They can't like message them and say, there they are.
Because like you don't even, like before phones,
you would have to be like, meet me at this bar at five o'clock.
And then if you're meeting someone like Vaughan
who's consistently 20 minutes late,
like do you, you can't text and be like,
I'm stuck in traffic,
I'll be 10 late.
So I saw in the trailer,
there's a couple of moments
of people being like,
well, maybe he's not coming
or maybe, I don't know,
like how long do I wait
sitting at a cafe?
People having chance encounters
at like beautiful French churches
and trying to like
make it all happen
without these friends.
But they can't even like
call each other.
They're gonna like
write these letters.
They're Japanese, right? Japanese. So they can't even like call each other. Yeah. They're gonna like write these letters. They're Japanese right?
Japanese.
So they don't speak
the language of the
people in the city.
Yeah.
But all the contestants
are Japanese so they're
kind of like.
Is that why they did
it in Nice so that
they couldn't like
meet other people?
Oh yeah maybe.
Are they allowed to
meet other people?
I think they are.
I think they are but
if it is orchestrated to try to get them to connect with each other
in this old school way.
I mean, it absolutely looks amazing.
One, Nice is beautiful.
And so it's shot like really stunning.
It's got a bit of a budget.
Waiting for those letters a long time
because New Zealand Post have cut back to like two times a week.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, we wouldn't even buy a stamp.
So you've got to wait on a Tuesday.
And then if they haven't written,
you're not getting it until Friday or Saturday?
Yeah, I know.
Honestly, this looks...
It's a long time to wait for love.
In terms of...
It is a long time.
Connie's impatient.
Long time to wait.
Three business days.
This guy's all about immediate three business days.
Immediate, you know, benefits of any effort put in.
Fletcher would write a letter
and it wouldn't even be in the postbox.
He's like, I can't believe I put in all this effort
and I'm not yet.
Ghosted.
Guess I've been ghosted.
Next.
Next.
I'll send another letter.
I'll send out 10 letters.
Just send him train mail.
See if any come back.
Send this on to 20 other people.
This is called Offline Love.
And I think if you're like me
and you love dating shows
and we're all excited because Maths Australia is about to start again,
this feels like it could be a good balance, some romance.
And, man, Japanese just make great TV.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan, and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan, and Hayley.
I don't know heaps about tennis.
I know it goes love, and then 15, and thenughn and Hayley. I don't know heaps about tennis. I know it goes love and then 15 and then 30 and then 40.
I know, I don't know.
Which annoys me.
It should go to 45 technically because it goes 15, 30.
That's up by 15 from 15, 15.
Then only 10.
I know.
It should be 45.
I don't know.
I saw it took me once and I've forgotten.
And then if the person catches up and you're both on 40,
then it's deuce and then you've got to get advantage
and win on your advantage and then you get a thing
and then you do that a whole bunch of times.
I don't think anybody knows, Vaughn.
It's almost as bad as cricket.
You know what I mean?
Trying to understand cricket.
I understand cricket, but not tennis.
Yeah.
I like how you also said, just before you were like,
I get so bored watching tennis,
this guy will watch a five-day cricket test match
that ends in a draw.
Five days.
And he's like, it's like a game of trash. It's games within a
game, Vaughn. It's brilliant.
I enjoy short cricket
and I enjoy 2020 cricket the most
because it takes the least amount of time.
But somebody
had a meltdown at the Australian
Open. Anya Sabalenka,
whose name I've heard, Belarusian tennis
player. Me too. She's
26. She was born in 1998,
which is physically impossible
for someone born in 1998
to be a world champion in anything.
Because they're children, right?
Yeah.
What was that, seven years ago?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's crazy.
What is she doing for a school?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is crazy.
It's hard to believe, though,
that 98 was seven years ago.
Time's moving fast.
Time is moving fast.
It's moving so fast.
And it's just not slowing down.
Well, she got beaten
and she had a meltdown.
I hate that.
Like a real, like a drop.
I hate it.
It's so unprofessional.
No, I love it.
And it happens all the time in tennis.
Grow up.
No, the human.
No, that Djokovic is a little bit.
He's a little bit.
Like, grow up.
You're a professional.
I hate it.
No, I love it.
I love it.
They want to win.
The sportsmanship, we all want to win at life, but it doesn't work like
that. It's not like they're
taking it out on someone else. They're just taking it out on
their racket, and that's what I love. She beat the
shit out of the ground with her racket.
She's sponsored by Wilson, and
she's beaten the hell out of that racket.
You get fined for it. I was going to say, do you get fined?
Because I know the cricketers, if they were
to do something like that, it would be fine, like a match
fee. Djokovic once, well, it was Djokovic.
No, Kyrgios.
Nick Kyrgios did it once,
beat the hell out of his racket
and then the umpire was like,
that's a something or other thing.
He was like, it slipped out of my hand.
I was like, dude, did you see that?
He was a wild child.
I love an adult Tanty.
I love it.
Oh, you know now, I'll have a Tanty.
I'll have a weekly Tanty. I'm happy to have a Tanty it. Oh, you know, Mel, I have a tantee. I have a weekly tantee.
I'm happy to have a tantee.
A little tant.
Get it out.
But a public a tant.
Would you ever have a big adult tantee at, like, the supermarket?
No.
If you were having an argument.
I'm too proud.
I've got my egos too big.
Yeah.
Also, for people to see that.
Are we talking booze tanties as well?
No.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a different thing.
That's a bit.
You're all loosey-goosey. Yeah.
Roll your eyes at that. Well, we want to know about
your adult tense. When as an adult,
you last had a good tense.
So it doesn't need to be public? It could be
at home? Double points if it's in public.
Especially if it's over something
so silly. You just snapped over
the silliest thing and then
you look back and you're like, okay. Maybe it was at the airport.
You know, those high stress situations where you're just like, okay. Maybe it was at the airport. You know, like those high stress
situations where you're just like, nothing's
in your control, you just snapped.
Or maybe it was really pathetic.
You know?
It was a little tanty. We would love you to admit
this morning, you can text through
9696, give us a call,
0800 dial ZM. When did you have
a big adult tantrum?
Give us a call. We're talking about when you've
had a big adult tantrum.
Yeah. There's been one at the Australian
Open. You're like a proper
smashy racket, Tanti
McTanderson. We asked on
Instagram as well.
And Kez said, when my daughter
accidentally wiped my Candy Crush account
I was well into 2,000 levels.
Oh yeah, I'd be upset.
2,000 levels? Yo, yo, I'm thousands in.
Kate, are you still playing Candy Crush?
Yeah, bro, I love it. Kate,
when did you have an adult tanty?
Well, let me just
premise this by saying I was shooting for
the wedding, so I was
hungry. Okay, but a hanger.
Okay.
And my husband threw out the leftovers from dinner,
which when you're dieting, you know that those don't count.
So, like, if you're full after dinner,
you go back and you have, like, a little bit.
A little spritz because technically it's still dinner.
It's the same dinner.
What was it?
What food are we talking about?
Well, it was something
with like rice or
something. Butter chicken maybe.
Right.
So I went back for my little sneaky
ticket
and it wasn't there.
I'm no nutritionist but I don't know if butter chicken's
shooting for the wedding.
It was all portioned out.
The clue was in the title, butter.
It's all about the portions, right?
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Especially when you keep going for more.
So I could, like, allow myself a certain number of points.
Yep.
Okay.
But I'd already worked out what the points were, so it didn't count.
Okay, you're fair.
That's how it works.
So you get to the fridge and you find out that the points were, so it didn't count. Okay, you're fair. That's how it works. So you get to the
fridge and you find out that the butter chicken
is not there. How bad was this adult tantrum?
Oh, I
screamed and
cried and
died.
I'll speak on a husband's
behalf. We all know the best way to help you on
your shredding journey is just to eat all
that butter chicken so there is no leftovers.
Thank you. Take it away.
That would have been another tanty.
I love when an adult
tantrum involves tears.
It makes you feel like such a baby.
Yeah.
Well, I'm surprised he married me afterwards, to be honest.
Yeah, I was like, is this a
lifetime of this?
Well, he saw me at my word.
Okay, does he leave the leftovers in the fridge now?
Yeah.
Okay.
So you are still married?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Crazy.
Brilliant.
Kate, thank you.
Some more messages in.
While wedding planning, I went a little bit off when one of the bridesmaids questioned
the dress colours.
Actually, weddings.
Yeah, of course.
High stress.
Yeah.
Tanties.
My parents sold the family batch and I packed a big, huge shitty.
It was mine.
Yeah, but if you're not paying the mortgage or you're not, are you contributing to any of that?
How much did you contribute to the rates, boy?
But I don't want to.
I just want to have a batch to get away to when it suits me, darling.
I was looking forward to that once you die.
Why don't you hurry up and die? to that once you die. Why don't you
hurry up and die?
Keep your texts
coming in,
9696 0800
DALS at M.
Where did you have
a big adult tantee?
A lot of ant-
ant-alts?
Adults is what we are.
Yeah.
We are growing children,
otherwise known as adults.
And we're still
having tantrums.
Yeah, lots of tantrums.
Like babies.
I had a tantrum
at Kmart.
You know how they always ask to see your receipt
when on the way out?
I was carrying a 1.6 metre tall mirror.
It was heavy and awkward.
And she said, can I see your receipt?
And I said, are you serious?
Yeah, you want to see my receipt?
Put the check out by the door like every other retailer.
Yeah, actually, don't even walk back.
Somebody explain why it's not by the door.
Is it so you buy more
stuff on the way out?
Yeah, so you have to
like snake through
the store to get there
and then you're like,
oh, I do need
an ice cube
silicone tray.
Can we all agree?
Good silicone tray.
But then even stores
where the checkout's
by the door,
like Bunnings always
want to see your receipt.
Yeah, I know.
I've literally just been
at the checkout, mate.
I literally was just
right there.
It does. I think on a bad day that would really I've literally just been at the checkout, mate. I literally was just right there.
It does.
I think on a bad day
that would really piss me off too.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
But what they just
I've just been at the checkout, mate.
I just realised,
thank God Fletch
doesn't get a menstrual cycle.
Jesus.
I just heard it.
I just saw a little bit.
I would tanty.
I would once a month
be like, oh God, here we go.
Fletch was,
got a menstrual cycle
and was also also dieting.
Oh, my God.
Shredding and menstruating Fletch.
It would not be.
Oh, yeah.
And also not getting any action.
Jesus.
No action.
Because sometimes he's a bit titchy, and I'll be like, he's eating, though,
and that's not right.
And he's just like, oh, he hasn't had any action for a little while.
Yeah.
Calm down.
It's not right. I'm actually a little while. Yeah. Calm down. Yeah. It's not wrong.
I meant to say pleasure.
I meant to say pleasure to be around.
You are.
As long as you're laid.
As long as you've recently been laid and you've recently been fed.
He's eaten.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
And you've got a trip on the horizon.
And something's in the calendar.
Yeah.
And he's got something to look forward to.
Otherwise, he's a miserable prick
I'm sorry I didn't know I'd walked into a comedy centre
You're gonna roast it
Organised a trip to surprise my long term bestie
Showed up for the big reveal and she didn't even like
Act surprised or like happy to see me
What a waste of $500
I threw a tantrum and left early
Oh left early
But life's all about managing expectations
I think you built that up too much.
Expect nothing always.
You get nothing from your best friend.
I plan my entire night around watching the newest episode of Love Island
only to come in to find it was a best bits episode that nobody watches.
I was fuming, didn't enjoy my dinner,
and I refused to cuddle with my boyfriend in bed.
What, like it's his fault?
Yeah, I know, but it always happens on like a Monday or something.
You're like, Love Island, and it's a best bits. Hey, guys, you hate Yeah, I know. But it always happens on like a Monday or something. You're like, love island. And it's a best bit.
A.
A, guys.
You hate that.
I hate that.
Best bits.
Yeah.
A.
Just say A.
Yep.
A.
I mean, I hate love island.
So the fact that they think they're going to win me over with the best bits angers me
even more that they don't even know me at all.
It's worse than the real thing.
Joe said, we're at the zoo and I went to the bathroom and left behind some of my pie.
My husband ate that pie while I was
in the bathroom under the pretense that
he thought I was finished with the pie. Well, you want to die, bro?
You want to die today, bro? I got back from the toilet.
No pie. But also, like,
how quickly did the
need to the toilet hit you that you just couldn't finish
your pie and then go to the toilet? Yeah.
Anyway, lost my shit in the middle of the zoo.
Had a big, big tanty right. In the middle of the zoo. Had a big, big tantee right there.
In the middle of the zoo.
Imagine you're losing your, you know, just your mind.
You're having an adult tantee and then the chimps start joining in.
Yeah.
And then you set off the whole zoo.
The animal's like.
And there's like this stampede.
The tiger comes over the cage and everyone's like,
ah, the tiger can get out all along. And the tiger's like, allede. The tiger comes over the cage and everyone's like, ah, the tiger could get out
a little longer.
And the tiger's like,
all I needed was the inspiration.
And this crazy bitch
having a meltdown about a pie
was all I needed.
And they ate everybody.
Oh, adult tantrums.
We're all having them.
I threw my phone through a window
playing Flappy Bird.
Do you remember that game,
Flappy Bird?
And it was like,
you had to tap the screen
and it was like Angry Birds.
No, no, no. You had to fly between the gaps.
It was this insane thing.
And the guy that created it got offered millions of dollars for it.
That's right.
Because it was so addictive and so frustrating.
And he was like, no, the hate I've had on the internet,
I'm shutting it down.
And he shut down Flappy Bird.
That's right.
He didn't even sell it.
I remember that.
Why?
What do you mean he didn't sell it?
He just went, nah.
I can't unleash it on the world.
A sort of a tantrum within itself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He had a tantrum.
But anyway, the Flappy Bird game got bad in our house
when I threw my phone through the window.
Phone through a window as an adult?
Not accidentally playing and then your hand flicks it out the window.
No, but that is what you'll say to your partner when they say,
did you just throw your phone out the window?
Be like, no, no.
I would gesticulate it.
And it flung from my hand.
I'm trying to think about my last adult tantrum.
You'll have had one.
Oh, no, that's not the question.
I'm just trying to think what was the catalyst for said tantrum.
I'm currently on the
Waka Kotahi website at the moment,
New Zealand Transport, looking up
something because I've made a decision
and I've never thought that this would be
something I would get into and no, it's not
really because of Jason Momoa but I think that it would
help. Just put that aside.
I think that would be an endearing thing
that he could learn about me. Tidbit.
What the hell does the New Zealand Transport Authority and Jason Momoa have in common?
I have made the bold decision that this year I'm going to get my motorcycle license.
What?
What kind of motorcycle?
Are you going to get a motorcycle or just have the license?
Well, I don't have any money.
I don't have the money to buy said motorcycle.
But it's not the kind of thing, it's very dangerous.
So it's not the kind of thing that I would want to buy cheaply
or, you know, like, old and cheap.
How do we see ourselves?
Street rider or classic cruiser?
So I like those ones.
So I went down to Wellington on Friday
and I took my dad to the Bob Dylan biopic, which is so great.
Timothee Chalamet, Oscar well deserved.
Nomination, well deserved.
Oh, he should.
I mean, I haven't seen any of this, but it was so good.
But in it, it's like, it's set in the late 60s
and early 70s and Bob Dylan rides this like motorcycle.
One of those ones, it's not like a huge Harley Davidson,
but it's quite slim lined, kind of vintagey looking thing.
And I was like, that's so cool.
And I've been thinking about it quite a bit.
And then I was having a little meal with my dad
and all these motorcycles were going by.
I think there must have been like a thing, get together, you know,
like a little.
Oh, Santa toy collection.
Something like that, yes, yeah, that's right.
They get in early.
It could have been a gang without the patches.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, it could have been a gang.
And then we talked about the fact that I was like,
man, I've never been on a motorcycle before.
I've never even ridden on a motorcycle.
I've ridden on the back.
I don't like it.
You know when you're in like Southeast Asia or even like South America,
you can get Uber Moto.
Oh, really?
That's a big no from me.
This is the thing, though,
because I know that they can be dangerous
if driven, you know, poorly.
And I was like, I'm a really good driver.
And I would never want to be the passenger on a motorcycle.
And it just kind of came into my head.
We're looking at these bikes and stuff.
And my dad was like, it would be pretty,
it would feel pretty cool to ride them, eh?
Like, it would be a good feeling.
I was like, yeah, man.
And then I was like, what's stopping me from getting a motorcycle license?
Why don't you just go to Raro for a week?
Like everybody else.
Come off a scooter on a pothole.
Yeah, I did have a scooter accident when I went to Bali, remember?
I jammed my leg into a...
Have to soak in the saltwater beach at Muri and sting his heaps.
And you're like, what a stupid idea.
We did talk about this.
Dad was like, why don't you just get a little Vespa or something.
I was like
but I have a year like that.
That's a Honda Rebel.
Somebody messaged in
saying they can see Hayley
on a Honda Rebel.
Yeah.
That's a Honda Rebel.
That's actually a cool motorbike.
That's sexy.
Because I don't want
like the Japanese ones
that are like
Nah, street racers.
Kawasaki Ninja.
I would like a Kawasaki Ninja.
Get your license with me bro.
But like a full like
ski outfit as well.
Yeah.
Go full 90s on a Kawasaki.
That's a big no from me
oh by the way
don't tell my mum
she listens to the show
you're just
an effective
and you know what
you just got your dad
in trouble too
no I said to dad
you shut your mouth
I said that to him
I said you shut your mouth Craig
like don't
we're not telling mum this
no but you've got him
in trouble now
because she's gonna hear about it
and then you've just
said that your dad
I know but he said what's holding you back and it's cool and all that him in trouble now because she's going to hear about it and then you've just said that your dad, I know, but he said
what's holding you back and it's cool and all that sort of stuff
and now she's going to be angry at him and
you for this motorcycle idea. You're too much
of a fast driver
in the car. No, but I wouldn't and I would take it
very seriously. I would
wear the leather, I would wear the good
gear so that, you know, because you see people on motorcycles
in Auckland all the time and they're bloody
jandals. Shorts?
I mean, you idiot. What are they then?
The Northwestern motorways made out of candy floss?
You come off on that thing in shorts.
Yeah, I know. No, I'd wear the proper gear.
I'd go slow. I'd only do it
for like joy for me to be in the morning.
I feel like this is a midlife crisis.
It's not. It smells of it, I know.
It really does. When combined with everything else
in my head space at the moment. Feels like a midlife crisis. It's not though. Yeah, okay. It's not. I smells of it, I know. It really does. When combined with everything else in my head space at the moment.
Feels like a midlife crisis.
It's not, though.
Yeah, okay.
It's not.
I'm going to get it.
What about, because I always like the idea of collecting licences,
but my one would be like the class five.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd love to get a truck licence.
Also, why not just get the licence?
The world opens up when you've got a truckie licence.
Because you can get the licence.
Yep.
And then you start learning.
Right? You can get your motorcycle licence then you start learning, right?
You can get your motorcycle licence. I think you've got to find the next thing in your midlife crisis.
I'm going to get some lessons.
Yeah, but you're restricted as to how big a motorcycle you can ride.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
So I'll just start.
I'm going to start small.
You're a little Suzuki scooter and that's it.
Shut up.
You're saying this, but you'll be jumping on the back.
I absolutely will not.
Yes, you will.
It'll be fun.
I'll get a noob. I'll get in the Prius. Well, you'll get on the back. I'm not getting on the back. I absolutely will not. Yes, you will. It'll be fun. I'll get a noob. I'll get in the Prius.
Well, you'll get on the back. I'm not getting on the back.
No offence. I wouldn't get
on the back of anyone's motorcycle. Well, watch this
space. I'm getting my motorcycle licence.
I shan't be stopped. God.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
Picture this. Me.
Vaughan Smith. Dressed probably
almost exactly the same.
In a little bed shirt. Vaughan's. Dressed probably almost exactly the same. What, in your little bed shirt?
Vaughn's been wearing his...
It's an unjust roasting.
It's an unjust roasting. He's been wearing his little sleepy shirt to work.
Have some respect for the workplace.
It's not a sleepy shirt.
It is a bed shirt.
End of last year.
It's made by a bedding company, bro.
Wallace and Cotton and Live Ocean Foundation released some t-shirts.
Yep.
To raise awareness for the fact that the ocean is still there.
Yeah.
Because I haven't seen it for ages.
I haven't seen it for a long time.
But it's to sleep in.
Guess what?
It's still full of fish.
So they said, and they're such nice.
This cotton's nice.
It's because it's a sleeping t-shirt, Cotton.
It's soft.
It's soft because it's to sleep in.
It's just a black t-shirt and I'm wearing it and they keep telling me I'm wearing my
bed shirt to work and I'm not.
Because it's Wallace Cotton. It's exactly the same as all of my other t-shirts. No, it's not. It's for sleeping. It's to sleep in. It's just a black t-shirt and I'm wearing it and they keep telling me I'm wearing my bed shirt to work. Because it's Wallace Cotton.
It's exactly the same as all of my other t-shirts.
No, it's not.
It's for sleeping.
It's so funny.
It's embarrassing that you're wearing your pyjamas.
Leave me alone.
You're at the supermarket in your black sleep shirt.
In your pyjamas.
So you've rolled out of bed.
I'm in the supermarket in my pyjamas,
picking up some bits and pieces for dinner.
And I'm wandering around,
and I don't know what I was looking for at the time.
Now, hang on.
I thought, I've done a weekly shop.
I don't have to go back.
Yeah, actually.
It feels like that plan has backfired.
Because I saved one of the family meals
when the girls got back,
because they went away for Sade
and the girls went down to Ragland to see Sade's mum.
So I was just like, oh, bachelor's dinner, like you do, every night.
By the way, when they were away last week,
it just reminded me, like, what do you do with yourself?
I'm always busy.
Do you know what the answer is?
I went to the gym, I walked in,
I went and let my cows into some grass,
and I came back and saw him.
I don't have to do that.
What do I do with myself now?
He does whatever the hell he wants.
It's only 1.30 in the afternoon.
Yeah, I'm busy.
And then you're just like,
where's Busy?
Well, let's not bandy about the word busy.
You know what I mean?
We won't describe it as busy.
It's wild how much time you've got to yourself
and how quiet your place must be.
Without people.
It's great.
It's wild.
I'm not complaining.
I don't know how you do it.
So anyway, I went and got myself some dinner.
Yeah.
And I was in the supermarket and I had some things in my trolley
and this lady like sidles up alongside me and like looks at me
and I'm like, oh, hello.
Like she's looking and then she was like, hello.
And I was like, I don't know.
I'm bad though.
Tone shift.
I may have met this person before.
And completely forgotten.
And I just don't remember them yeah but
they didn't look familiar and they didn't say like how are you like you know to re-establish
a familiarity right so this was a stranger yeah but you said hello first or she what does she
like sign up alongside and like look to me i will now replicate the look okay i didn't do it well
i was like what the hell is that?
Is she having a stroke?
No, it was like-
She got a bowel palsy?
It was like a, nope, didn't do it well.
Kind of like an inquisitive, like,
she wants to talk to you look.
Like she's got a question.
She's sussing you out.
Yeah, right.
And she's like, oh, hi.
And she's like, hello, what's happening for dinner?
Like that.
Oh, now I'm receiving a tone.
Because she's looking in my, and I'm like, oh, some chicken
and this, that, and the other.
And she was like, nice, like that.
And I was like, what's happening?
Is it?
What's happening?
Okay, and I said, what's for your dinner?
And she said, I haven't decided yet.
And I said, dangerous to come to the supermarket
with no idea what you're after.
Are we flirting?
I'm not.
I'm just like semi-cornered.
I've kind of got to move around her to get away.
And then she laughed and I laughed and I kind of walked away.
And then when I got to the end of the aisle, I looked back and she like looked.
And I was like, am I being flirted with?
Oh, I think you are.
I think when she said I haven't decided yet, she was like, maybe someone's going to put me in dinner.
Okay, we should all vote.
Was Vaughn flirted with?
It sounds like it.
I'm going to say yes.
Producers, do we think Vaughn was flirted with here?
Absolutely.
She's like, what are you cooking?
Could I come join?
Yeah, that's what I say.
That sounds yummy.
That's bold.
I'm not paying for her dinner.
What's her dinner?
It's such an easy way to know if someone's married, though.
Yeah, true.
Because that's the thing.
Yes.
Because I was purchasing a bachelor's meal.
And that's a tough call for you.
Because the family was away.
Yeah.
And maybe she did.
She gave the trolley a quick, shh.
No, that's dinner for one.
That's dinner for one.
And I'm one.
I will also say people are, like, sick of dating apps, right?
So they're like, I'm going to try meeting people in person.
Yes.
Where better to meet someone?
This is everywhere at the moment online.
Like people going,
I'm just going to go out and sit somewhere
and see if I can meet someone in the wild.
I think she's taken her,
I think she shot her shot.
She saw your meals and was like,
I could be with him.
He eats chicken.
I like chicken.
He eats chicken.
I like chicken.
I like chicken.
He eats chicken.
So far, like men and chicken.
He's both those things.
I didn't,
I should have said,
I've got potatoes at home.
Because I'm somewhat of a thrower.
Roasties?
Not a shower.
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
Which is not what I would have meant at all.
I reckon don't start with that.
Nah, I don't regret it at all.
I'm glad I didn't know at the time I was being flirted with.
I just thought she might have thought I was someone.
I don't know. Although she might have just met you previously
and she's making conversation.
Like a parent, this is the thing you meet so many,
you guys don't know, but when you've got kids at school
and you meet so many parents in a passing and you're like,
hey, and then da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
and I don't know who this person was.
Right, okay, well, you've still got it.
He's still got it.
It's nice to know you've still got it.
Was she nice to look on the eye?
Like if there was a world in which you were not a married man
with two kids and no interest in leaving the house ever.
All I noticed was in her trolley she had a big tub of probiotic yogurt.
So all I was thinking was.
Gut health issues.
She's constipated.
Stay away.
She's on to her gut health.
No, stay away.
You want someone healthy that's on to their gut health.
It screams IBS.
It screams it.
Play ZM's Fletch,
Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch,
Vaughan and Hayley.
Fact of the day,
day, day, day, day.
It's goat week here at Fact of the Day.
There's going to be nice facts about goats.
There's going to be bad facts about goats.
Okay.
It's all about goats.
I like to see goats get a fright.
The goats that have got the knees.
And their knees go rigid. Yeah. And baby goats. Baby goats are super cute. The goats that have got the knees. And their knees go rigid.
Yeah.
And baby goats.
Baby goats are super cute.
They're so funny.
Grown goats can be a real pain as someone with goats.
I like the goats,
but they would test you.
Okay, why are we doing-
I don't like their sideways eye slits.
Do you want to know
why they've got sideways eye slit?
Why?
So because they're a prey, right?
They're not a predator.
They're a prey.
They're preyed on by meat-eating situations.
And they've got a rectangular eye slit,
which allows them, keeping their head perfectly still,
to see 330 degrees.
Why is that like one of those cameras on a stick?
Just like that.
Just like that.
Except they don't need to move.
So it means when they're standing perfectly still
with their head forward,
they can see everywhere but the line of their spine.
Well, I'll just sneak up on the line of its spine.
You'd have to be right behind that goat.
You got him there.
You'd have to be right behind that goat.
But it means it gives them great sort of like panoramic vision,
but they've got to lift their heads to see like up and down.
Right.
Okay, so I'll come from above.
I'll drop down on a parachute.
On the line of the spine. Yeah, on the line of the spine. I'll drop down on a parachute. Right in the line of the spine.
Yeah, on the line of the spine.
I'll get that goat.
Get them going.
Yeah, I'm learning lots of things about goats.
Nothing will stop him.
I'm learning lots of things about goats.
What was the other thing you wanted to know?
Why are we doing this for Fact of the Day?
No.
Because I can chuck that in as a little bonus goat fact.
I can't remember.
What did I say?
Oh, they're young.
Their legs, they get a fright.
Oh, yeah.
What's the evolutionary purpose of the fainting goat?
I'll find that out.
Yeah, yeah, great.
Because it's got to be for a reason, right?
Things like that don't just kind of happen and succeed.
Sometimes some things are unexplainable, Vaughn.
God.
Like what?
How records work.
Remember, this is my thing that I'm thinking about at the moment.
Magic.
But I explained it.
Magic.
Magic's not the answer.
Both of you said magic, and it just hasn't satisfied me.
Today's goat fact is, have you heard of the Judas goat?
No.
No.
Is it the one in the song?
I haven't really heard of any.
Judas, Judas, God.
Well, kind of.
It's called the Judas goat.
It's named after Judas Iscariot, the biblical reference of the man that betrayed Jesus Christ.
And then Jesus got shot up.
Here we go, summing in some religion.
You know me.
Always summing in my religion.
So the Judas goat is a trained goat,
and it's used for various purposes.
Most famously was Project Isabella on the Galapagos Islands.
Now, in my mind, without knowing,
I always thought the Galapagos Islands were pretty small.
They're massive. Yeah, there's a lot of them. Way bigger. Big turtles. Yeah, yeah. Well, without knowing, I always thought the Galapagos Islands were pretty small. They're massive.
Yeah, there's a lot of them.
Way bigger.
Big turtles.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's what the giant turtle, this is why.
Goat extermination initiative happened in the Galapagos Islands.
It started in 1997.
Now, 140,000 goats,
and I'm not just talking cute little goats that we see here,
like big, huge, fairly mountain goat looking things,
were living in the wild in the Galapagos Islands
and they were eating everything.
They'll eat everything. And that meant that the
giant tortoises that
we so fondly think of when we think
of the Galapagos Islands had nothing to eat.
And that's why they turned to
the plastic straws. That's why
they turned to cocaine.
Because it killed their appetite. And it
would just wash across from South America. And that's how they got the plastic straws up their appetite and it would just wash across from South America
and that's how they got the plastic straws up their nose.
So they decided to eradicate the goats.
Now, New Zealand has played a huge part in this
because apparently we've got the best goat snipers in the world.
Do we?
It's not a very sexy movie, is it?
Goat sniper.
Yeah, goat sniper.
Day of the goat sniper.
I've got a video of it and you don't think it's sexy,
but then you see this guy hanging out the side of a...
Can I just...
Indulge me.
See, to me, that's not sniping, though, is it?
Hanging out of a...
Oh, okay, that is.
Oh, wow.
That's a sniper.
We watch him, he's in a helicopter going,
and he's just dropping goats.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
No, it's sexy.
It's sexy.
I'll teach you to eat the grasses,
otherwise designated for the giant tortoise. Can I get the hide?
Or get them to stuff one for me?
Oh my God. Well, they had 140,000
of them. But the
problem was when the goat numbers got small and the
goats caught on to the fact that they were being
hunted and sniped, they took to
hiding and going to like remote
areas on the island, which made them hard to find
rather than being out in the open.
So they released a Judas goat.
A Judas goat?
A friendly goat with a tracker on it who went out and was just like,
goats, goats.
And they're like, hey, goats.
What a blast.
He was like a plant.
And then the goat goes in and they're like, where is the Judas goat?
And then they fly in and the Judas goat's like,
way over here. It's me. Remember me? You put this collar on me. And they're like, thanks, Judas goat? And then they fly in and the Judas goat's like waving, I assume.
It's me.
Remember me?
You put this collar on me.
And they're like, thanks, Judas goat.
G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g.
Wow.
Like one of those buddies.
On a reality dating show where they've paid an actor.
The mole.
The mole.
The mole, to be it.
The mole.
Yeah.
He's a mole.
Yeah.
So that.
Do you think he's standing there as all his friends are getting shot being like, what
have I done?
No.
Apparently they'd take him away and and set him free in another part
and he'd be like, goats, number one of us.
And he'd be like, I'm Judas.
Nice to meet you.
He's no soul.
Judas goat.
And Judas goat.
It was also used in a project on a goat eradication on St Clemente Island,
which had been destroyed by feral goats.
And the United States Navy took to
shooting goats and then released a
dozen radio-collared Judas goats on different parts
of the island, which then amalgamated with
the goat clans and they went and eradicated
the rest of the goats. That's why I won't let goats
join our friend group. And you guys are like, why do you
hate goats? He's so nice. He's so cute.
He's real fun. He'll bring a different energy
to the group. He's got that collar with a flashing
LED light on. Yeah. He'll eat spiky to the group. He's got that collar with a flashing LED light on. Yeah, like a little necklace.
Like, what's wrong?
He'll eat spiky plants and get, like, ouch parts in his mouth.
So there's many Judas goats.
I just thought of one goat who gets flown around the world being a Judas.
Being the ultimate Judas goat.
Yeah, being the ultimate Judas.
No, they can do it with all sorts of Judas.
Other animals that have played the role of the Judas goat,
they've had Judas camels in Australia when trying to wipe out wild pigs in America.
Rats.
Judas rats in Mexico.
And Judas raccoon dogs in Europe.
Raccoon dogs are like, you know when you go to Tanuki's, you know Tanuki's, the Japanese?
The cave.
Yeah, yeah.
They're like the cave and that thing that sits outside that's like a raccoon dog.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So there's problems with them in parts of Europe and they use them.
Okay.
But goats are the best ones to use
because they're such a social creature
that they'll just kind of like track down other goats
and start hanging out with them.
Amazing.
And then you can rock them in
and just absolutely eliminate all of the goats.
So today's fact of the day is
there is such a thing as Judas goats,
and it's as bad as it sounds.
It's a goat that befriends a whole lot of goats
just so somebody else can kill them.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Simple man I am.
On Friday, remember when I left the show
I was like
Lawns day today
And I think you were both
Just a bit like
Christ you've got
More to look forward to
Oh whoa
I'm off to Wellington
Yeah
I'm gonna have a big weekend
And Fletch is like
I've gotta do this
That and the other
I was like
I can't wait to get home
And do the lawns
I love doing my lawns
I'm doing the lawns
It's like a bit of therapy
For you
It is
It's my zen
It's my alone time
I get to you know Make something And at the end of it Like we walk away from here And It's like a bit of therapy for you. It is. It's my zen. It's my alone time. I get to, you know, make something.
And at the end of it, like, we walk away from here and we're like, oh, well.
And then when you do that, you look back and you're like, look what I did.
You can actually stand on the deck and be like, look at all the nice lines.
Yeah, look at this stuff.
I often just go on the FVHZM Instagram after work and just watch us bat.
So then I can see the fruits of my labour.
Right.
It's my worst nightmare to get caught watching
one of our own clubs with a smile on my face. So someone's like
can't get enough of yourself mate. That's
literally so embarrassing.
So I finish the lawns and I look at my phone
for the first time in a while and it says I've received
an email from the bins. The BNZ.
My bank. Oh bins.
And I was like oh and it says we've
stopped your credit card.
We've jammed the brakes on your credit card.
Now, hang on.
Is this a scam?
That's what I thought.
Yeah, you get those emails and you don't know if it's legit or not.
That's what I thought.
It said, temporary block on your BNZ card.
Here's the card.
Regularly monitors transactions that detect and prevent fraud on cards
held by our customers.
There's a number and everything.
It's got a name.
I'm like, this looks legit.
I click on the email address.
It's a legitimate email address,
not one of those ones you click on
and it's like,
John,
John,
74822
at Hotmail.
Yeah,
Hotmail.com.
So I think scammers are the only people
still using Hotmail email addresses.
It's almost like Hotmail should just lean in
and be like,
the email for scammers.
Yeah, you want to run a scam?
Come get yourself a Hotmail.
So I was like, wow. So it said, so I logged onto the internet banking. Yeah, you want to write a scam? Come get yourself a hotmail. So I was like, wow.
So I logged onto the internet banking.
Yeah.
Sure enough.
Sure enough.
$1,500 worth of paper.
Oh my God.
Scammed.
There had been a purchase at this stage.
There had been a purchase of material, like a fabric shop.
Yeah.
Because I copy and pasted the things that it said into Google and searched.
A fabric shop, a non-alcoholic drinks company.
Yeah.
Like a kombuchery.
We've got a sober scammer.
And then some embroidery supplies at the search shop.
Sounds like you've got a nerd Gen Z having a big, sturdy knife.
But I'm just Shannon has scammed you.
Sounds like Shannon. Shannon Shannon this sounds like a wild
night out for you. You know how many times
I've been scammed? I thought time to take
revenge. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.
Sounds like a great night. I want to be friends with her.
Yeah. So $1500
over three transactions. Yep.
And I was like okay I'll ring the number. And I rang the number
and I'll talk to Pip. Now I'll give Pip a shout out.
Because Pip, when a minute I answered I said hello Pip I'm calling because there's been
a hold put on my card and I've just checked and yes sure enough those transactions are not something
that the family would have made and then Pip was like oh my gosh are you okay and she was very
concerned I was like oh I'm fine like I'm all good thank you in general Pip or just for the
how deep do you want to go how long have you got right I'm sort good, thank you. In general, Pip, or just for the... How deep do you want to go, Pip?
How long have you got?
I'm sort of entering a period of sort of really looking at life.
So she's very concerned about how I'm taking this emotionally.
I said, it's fine, Pip.
And I said, you put a stop on it, that's great.
And she's looking at it and it turns out,
not that it's a competition,
but it was Sade's card details I got taken on.
It just feels like it's information that you've noted.
It's been noted.
Right.
Because she looked under my card and she's like,
I can't see anything on your card.
Is this a joint account?
Was this in New Zealand?
The shops were in America.
Oh, right.
They were American shops.
Two of them were based in New York and one of them was based in Philadelphia
or somewhere over on the East Coast as well.
Wait, they bought material in New York?
Yeah.
What was the shop called?
I can't remember.
I just wonder if it was Mood from Project Runway.
Oh, really?
That's my first question.
That's a really famous family store.
Oh, I don't know.
If it had been at Mood, I would have been like, cool.
Cool, the hackers watch TV too.
They've got taste.
So Pip said, oh, and it looks like there's like
seven other pending charges that are like $4,500. And I said, well, the joke's on the scammer, oh, and it looks like there's like seven other pending charges that are like $4,500.
And I said, well, the joke's on the scammer, Pip,
because that credit card's almost at its limit.
And that's why they can't get the rest of their $4,500 worth of stuff.
So how did they get the card details?
No idea.
And I said, will we ever be able to find out when?
She's like, very unlikely ever will.
It won't happen again because we're completely getting rid of that card.
Yeah.
Here's a new card number.
Oh, what a pain.
And then Pip and I
had a whole lot of cute
back and forth about
how she could maybe wipe
some of the other charges
my wife had accrued over summer.
Oh, that'd be fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Actually, she's like,
you don't seem so worried.
I'm like, well, actually,
the scammers are costing me
less than my wife.
That sort of back and forth.
Bit of banter.
I'm actually saving money, Pip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let them have it, Pip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let them have it, Pip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let them buy some nice things, tangible goods.
Maybe they'll make me something.
And there was a bit of back and forth anyway.
She was very concerned.
And I just wanted to say thanks to Pip.
Shut up, Pip.
Shut up, Pip.
Pip at the BNZ was so fantastic.
But yeah, it was weird.
And I said, what are the other things?
And she said, this, this, that, that,
and rattled off the names of the places
that tried to spend $4,500 more.
Yikes.
I hadn't got away with it because, yeah,
that's after three really quick,
quite large transactions in a different country,
the bank were like, stop.
And that was, I thought, was really good.
They're so good that they're onto it.
They've already cancelled those because it had them under pending. And she said, I thought, was really good. You're so good that they're onto it. They've already cancelled those because it had them under pending
and she said, check again tomorrow and if it's gone through,
ring us back.
But because we flagged it, it should be no problem.
But they took care of that all before it became a problem.
Issued a new credit card, et cetera.
So, but the material, the kombucha and the embroidery supplies,
I was just like, what sort of bad guy,
Screaming Gen Z.
Scammer are we dealing with here?
Yeah, nuts.
So I wanted to know, from people this morning
who have had their credit card hacked or scammed or whatever,
what did they spend it on?
Yeah.
Do you remember years and years ago
those people bought Cheesecake Factory in the Mississippi?
Man, when you're hungry, though, do you know what I mean?
I had a charge.
The bank rang me and said, have you're hungry though do you remain hungry? I had a charge the bank rang me and said
have you been to the
cheesecake factory? And you were like yes
it's my favourite, it's worth the wait, you go at
five and sometimes you can't get until six
but it always hits the big ass menu
and they're like is it Mississippi or something?
and I was like no, I'm in Auckland
and so I had to get a new card
but God knows how they got those details
I've only had little scams.
I think someone took some cash once or something.
Is it just the business that you buy something from?
Do they get hacked?
But then how do they get the...
I don't know.
Who knows?
CBC, I don't know.
You don't always need it.
You don't always need it.
So crazy.
Paywave, you don't need it.
But if you're buying online, most of the time you do.
Okay, well, 0800-DARLS-IT-IN.
We want to take your calls now.
You can text through 9696.
If your credit card was scammed or compromised and they spent money on it, what did they buy?
Now, just a side note.
Someone on the text machine said, this could be Shannon's greatest hack yet.
Save money by stealing your friend's credit card.
We want to know if a scammer or hacker has got your card details, what did they spend with your money?
Yeah.
Mine was my credit card got scanned at the end of last week.
Boring.
Yeah.
Embroidery supplies, some material,
like if they went to, a bit like they blew out at Spotlight.
Yeah.
And some like kombuchery drinks.
I mean, good gut health.
Great gut health.
You're good for the gut health,
but yeah, go crazy if you're going to bother scamming
someone. Chloe, where was your card
used? Hi,
so I got a call from my bank
to ask if I'd been in Hong Kong.
They had tried
to spend my money at Hong
Kong Disneyland.
Oh, wow.
Pretty accurate.
I wish when I got back from Disneyland, I rang the bank and I was like,
I don't know who spent all that money.
Yeah, yeah.
Lightsabers.
I'm a grown man.
Somebody went nuts on the Star Wars stuff.
I mean, I genuinely had to think for a second, like, had I been in Disneyland?
Because it's something I would do.
But you hadn't been to Hong Kong.
No, I'd never actually been to Hong Kong. So that would have been the giveaway to me that you hadn't been to Hong Kong Disneyland if you hadn't been to Hong Kong. No, I'd never actually been to Hong Kong.
So that would have been the giveaway to me
that you hadn't been to Hong Kong Disneyland
if you'd never been to Hong Kong.
Kind of have to pass through it to get to the Disneyland.
You never know though.
Yeah, you kind of have to.
You end up in Hong Kong Disneyland,
don't know how you got there.
So that was all they managed to get on your card?
Yeah.
And I was kind of hoping for some Disneyland merch
to arrive in the mail.
Yeah, like could I get some?
What?
They obviously didn't get to the merch stand if they couldn't get through the door if the the mail. Yeah, like, could I get some? I mean, I know they obviously didn't get to the merch stand
if they couldn't get through the door if the card declined.
Yeah, true.
Chloe, thanks for your call.
Erin, where was your card used?
So mine was used at Bed Bath & Beyond in New Zealand.
So it was a pretty close time.
I've had it hacked a few times.
I'm a prolific online shopper,
so my details are out there for the world.
Childo.
Childo.
The last time was New Zealand.
Yeah, okay.
It's nice to acknowledge what you know of yourself.
Do they ever go after people when it's done in New Zealand?
I feel like it's just in the too hard, too much basket.
No, I went after this one.
So because it had just pinged on my phone,
I called Bed Bath & Beyond to inquire about the transaction, and I found out that this person had done pinged on my phone, I called Bed Bath & Beyond to inquire about the transaction.
And I found out that this person had done two transactions on my card.
And one was for Click and Collect and one was for delivery.
And I said many invoices.
So I had the person's address, phone number and name.
Oh my God!
So I stopped their name and found where they worked.
And I called them up just to let them know, hey
thanks, you know, you used my card, I'm just
letting you know that I've cancelled those transactions
so don't be concerned when your parcels don't
arrive, I'm just going to have
a chat with your boss in the morning, have a great night
bye, hung up
the next morning I rang
and I'd realised, because
I'd figured it out, I'd booked a hotel
through bookings.com
and had to give my credit card details for the hotel
and the person had managed to source my details.
So when I rang the hotel,
they assured me that that could never happen.
Did an investigation later on that day.
They rang, apologised, said it was a random event,
booked me into a new hotel and paid for my accommodation.
Oh, win, win, win, win.
What a story.
I love that you went a bit like,
I'm going to take matters into my own hands.
That's actually a good life hack.
I've got one of my bank with credit cards
has the notifications on the app,
so straight away when you book something, it comes up.
Like if an AP comes out for my power or whatever, I see it straight away.
So you're not going to get like scammed like heaps and heaps.
Yeah.
Wow.
Good on you, Erin, for just being like, I'm going to suss this out.
I love that.
So good.
I always love, I'm just going to have a quick bit of a word with your boss.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Erin, thank you.
Keep your texts coming in.
So many. We'll get to those next. Keep your texts coming in. So many.
We'll get to those next.
What have the scammers spent on your card?
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
What did the scammers buy when they got your credit card details?
Hopefully more exciting than what they did with mine,
which was boring and a little bit of a disappointment.
Ox says they bought a car in Brisbane.
The credit card had a $10,000 limit and they purchased a $9,000 car.
What?
That's so stupid.
That's like you've got to register.
They need your details.
What are you doing?
Yeah, buy stuff that you don't need to put a name to.
Or just don't.
Yeah, or just don't.
Why am I giving advice to scammers?
Scammers, listen to me.
Buy unidentifiable consumables that aren't being delivered to an address.
It's kind of straightforward, guys.
Duh.
Briar said they paid their power bill.
Okay.
Oh.
Again, that's traceable, right?
Yeah.
Had an ex-flatmate, when I lost my card, it turns out they'd stolen it
and used it to pay for adultfriendfinder.com.
Well, they're just trying to find a friend.
They're just trying to find a friend.
Tashi said, my card was stolen.
I made a big thing about it being stolen.
Turns out it was someone in my class that stole it.
They purchased themselves a $700 pig hunting collar.
Pig hunting?
Pig hunting collar.
For the dogs, I assume.
Oh, bizarre.
$700.
$700.
Katie said they spent $4,000 on Google ads
and $3,000 on flights on a Hungarian airline.
That's what, when I looked up these companies
that my money was spent at,
I wonder if they're real companies
or just like shell companies.
No, I think most of the time they're just real
and they get the goods and they're in the wind.
Yeah.
Yeah, they got their three meters of Egyptian cotton
and they're gone in the wind.
See?
Come on, see?
Helen said they spent thousands of dollars on cigarettes.
CJ said they subscribed to a few OnlyFans accounts.
Right.
And that was the funniest part about it was the transaction happened at 3am.
Yeah, moment of desperation, you know.
Kayla said they stole my card and ordered $2,000 worth of clothes off Shein.
Shein?
Shein.
Shein.
Or jokes on them when they stand too close to a heater.
No, catch a blaze.
That's called karma, babe.
Lots of people.
My card was found by a local lad who bought hundreds of dollars of smokes
and V-Blue cans and peanut slabs.
Why didn't he go for an almond gold?
It's on somebody else's ticket.
Get yourself an almond gold.
He topped up his phone, so it was really easy to find him.
Oh, dumb.
Yeah.
He can have the smokes, but God damn, I want those peanut slabs.
Imagine if he bought Armour Golds.
You'd be so angry that someone bought Armour Golds and you didn't get an Armour Gold.
People aren't smart, are they?
No.
Georgia Bird, have you ever had your credit card stolen and used?
No, because I play smarter, guys.
You play smarter.
Yeah, it's always in the back of my phone.
So if it was stolen and used, then everything would be stolen and used.
But people are getting all these details online.
I don't save it.
I don't save it.
Do you ever shop online anywhere?
Yeah.
Well, they've got your details.
And if they get hacked?
I thought they only got them if you saved your card to your phone.
No, no, no, they've got it.
I mean, you can save your card to companies' websites,
but most of the time you save it to your computer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you browse it.
I mean, I've got a banking partner, guys,
who's like, don't save anything anywhere, you know?
Oh, yeah, true.
Somebody said my card got hacked on AliExpress.
They bought a whole bunch of stuff,
but didn't change the postal address.
So all their stuff got delivered to my house.
I reported it as fraud, got a full refund,
and got to keep everything from AliExpress.
Did they say what they got?
Because here's some great stuff.
A dash cam was in there.
Dash cam.
What a stupid present idea.
Yeah, dumb, eh?
Not nearly as thoughtful as a digital photo frame.
See, now there's a good gift.
Great gift.
There's a great gift idea.
Heartfelt.
Thoughtful.
Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast.
I'll tell you.
What? It's a podcast. You after that podcast, I'll tell you.
It's a podcast, you are allowed to listen to it while you're wheeze.
There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast. It just says here I'm busting for a wheeze.
I read it, okay? I read it.
Give us a review.
