The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod.
Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards.
Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Someone's happy it's Friday.
I'm so excited.
And not only because I just had a little lick of limoncello.
Now I'm aware it's 6.02am, but we're having some cocktails after the show and I've brought in a bottle of limoncello. Now, I'm aware it's 6.02 a.m., but we're having some cocktails after the show,
and I've brought in a bottle of Lemoncello to contribute,
and I realised I hadn't tried it.
Delish.
What is Lemoncello?
Sugar.
Uh-huh.
Lemon.
And lemon-infused vodka.
Ah, right.
To make a sweet Italiano.
Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
It's good stuff.
All right, coming up on the show today,
we're going to chat to James McConey again,
who's in France.
Great stuff.
Ahead of the Rugby World Cup Final on Sunday morning.
He gets the box.
Yeah.
We'll get the latest stuff from the ground there.
How we feel, because we're all watching the game together now.
Yeah, we've been invited.
Did we invite ourselves, or did you invite us?
What's happened is Sade's invited us. Sade invited people. Now, we've been invited. Did we invite ourselves or did you invite us for? What's happened is
Sade's invited us.
Sade invited people.
Now, can I bring
our friend James
because he...
Yeah.
Yeah, great.
Okay, cool.
James is always welcome.
Okay, I thought so.
He'll probably...
Sort of check.
He'll help me in the kitchen.
Yeah, he won't know
what's going on
because he doesn't do rugby.
Yeah.
But that's great.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we're all coming around.
James is always welcome.
Are we getting dressed up?
Are we?
I don't have any merch.
I'm getting...
You've got to come dressed as your favourite historical All Black.
Terry Wright.
Terry Wright!
Yeah, we share the same historical All Black.
Wow.
Favourite All Black because of the moustache.
And his thin legs.
It was out there on the wing.
Oh, if we're going base of legs, I'll come as Jonah Lomu.
Hell of a set of thighs on that guy.
Hell of a set of thighs on this girl.
Yeah.
We'll catch up with James McHoney
after seven this morning.
Also, a VIP double pass to Fridays Live,
which yesterday was three weeks away.
After 7.30 this morning,
around 7.30,
we'll play Who Dat Girl.
Who Dat Girl.
Vaughn will have 10, well, 60 seconds
and a couple of questions
to guess your name
if he can do that.
A double V.O.P. pass
to Friday's Live.
We've got the top six
on the way.
Terry Rowe has only
just turned 60.
Gosh.
Now I would have assumed
he was an older chap than that
because of the moustache
in the 80s
made him look like
he was 40 in the 80s.
It did age him,
didn't it?
Yeah.
This is him, Hayley.
I'm just going to give you
a look at the legs.
Oh.
That was the days before professional rugby.
I love the legs like that.
Yeah, lovely legs.
Lovely, lovely legs.
I always thought his moustache was bigger.
No, no, no.
It was like a dainty mo.
Right.
It wasn't like a full handlebar.
Not dainty.
It wasn't like...
It was like a Freddie Mercury.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Not like down into the handlebar.
Good stuff.
Well, the top six is coming up.
Where is it now?
You've gone down a Terry Wright hole again.
Yeah, yeah.
I've fallen in a tea hole.
Slipped into one of those tea holes.
Yeah, I've heard about these.
The top six ways to cover a tattoo.
Okay.
Our new government has said if tattoos are holding you back,
well, for God's sake, cover them up.
Okay.
Put some foundation on them and get out there and get a job.
What foundation are they recommending?
I don't know.
Probably Thin Lizzy.
I'd love to see a gang member applying some Thin Lizzy.
Yeah.
Going to Mecca and being like, hey.
You know when you're a kid and you'd colour
someone in and they were just one shade?
That's what it would look like. And you're like, something's not quite
right here. Yeah. I think
reality is skimping on
special effects. Well, I've
got the top six other ways to cover a tattoo in the top
six.
Now, Salt
Lamps, did you guys have one?
No.
I was never a 20-something female, so.
Oh, yeah, I wanted one when I was a 20-something female,
but then I hit my 30s and I was like, oh, nah.
But, Carween, you definitely had one, didn't you?
Shannon, you probably had one.
I'm just taking a stab in the dark.
Both of them strike me as salt lampers.
Yeah, I still have one.
I still have one.
Yeah.
Did you buy one for the aesthetics or did you believe it's doing something to your aura? Both of them strike me as salt lampers. Yeah, I still have one. I still have one. Yeah.
Did you buy one for the aesthetics or did you believe it's doing something to your aura?
The aesthetics.
Okay.
Do you know I once had a massage in a salt cave?
Where?
On the North Shore.
So it wasn't...
I was waiting for the B word.
Not in Bali, no.
I think you went underground in Bali or...
They had in this
like beauty
massage place,
they had a,
they'd built a room
out of salt bricks.
And I gotta tell you,
it ruled
because the light
was soft and glow,
but it didn't,
the salt doesn't do anything
to you for God's sake.
Anyway,
the salt lamps,
they were like
all the rage, right?
Yeah.
What was the deal?
They,
what was the, what was the folklore? Benefits of salt lamps, yeah were like all the rage, right? Yeah. What was the deal? What was the folklore?
Benefits of salt lamps, I don't know.
There was folklore.
Yeah.
Cleans and deodorizes the air, helps with asthma and allergies.
I don't believe that.
Produces beneficial negative ions, improves sleep,
reduces less colds and flus.
No, I don't believe that.
What does a salt lamp do?
It was always dusty.
They were always dusty. Dusty, and they leaked. No, don't believe that. What does a solar... It was always dusty. They were always dusty.
Dusty and they leaked.
They sweat.
They sweat.
Yeah, they sweat.
Always looked to me like a fire risk as well.
Yeah, because they're wet.
They're oozing.
They'd always be on like a base, a pine base or something.
Yeah, a pine base with like a cheap AliExpress light fitting in the bottom of them.
Yeah.
Well, I just saw on TikTok...
There were no lava lamp. No. They ain't got nothing on saw on TikTok. There were no lava lamp.
They ain't got nothing on the lava lamp.
Lava, lava lamp. Speaking of fire risks.
Sleeping next to your
lava lamp with your electric blanket on? No good.
So there's videos of people
doing shots of tequila
and instead of licking a salt, you know,
putting a bit of salt on the hand and having a lick of that
because they're little bitches.
They're licking their salt lamps.
Who out of you two have licked your salt lamp?
No, like every time we've had a few...
Look at this too, Mimi.
No, listen, guys.
Every time we've had a couple of lemonades,
it's a tradition that we all lick the salt lamp.
Oh, Carwen.
I've licked a salt lamp before
It's very salty
Yeah, it's just a lump of salt
It's a lump of rock salt
Yeah, very salty
Okay, this feels dangerous
Yeah, it's a bit dusty
Oh, yeah
But then also when everyone's licked it
Do you wash it?
Nah, because it sweats itself off
Oh my god, did you? Nah, because it sweats itself off. Oh my god, did you?
Yeah, Jared.
Just get salt from the
pantry and put it on your hand like a normal
basic person. That's no fun.
We're all still, we're all
of the age now, you guys included,
you're too old to be doing
lemon, tequila, salt or whatever.
Just, you just drink tequila.
Oh yeah, it's not after a tequila shot or anything.
It's just part of the fun.
Part of the fun.
All right.
So you're looking at not even tequila.
Guys, are we boozed enough to lick the salt lamp yet?
Yeah.
Also, you can just go down to the pet store and get a salt lick.
You do?
Yeah.
And that's got other beneficial minerals too.
One handy.
Get a cow lick. Much handy. Get a cowlick.
Much cheaper to get a cowlick.
Weren't salt lamps bad for animals though
because they were going all in on them?
Yeah, probably.
Wasn't there a warning about that from vets?
Yeah.
Slicking it and stuff.
Oh, was there?
I feel like there was something in the news.
Because animals are always like,
yeah, they love the saltiness.
Well, they're just like us.
We just get our salt from different sources
like and vinegar chips.
Very good for you actually. Yes. And different sources, like and vinegar chips. Very good for you, actually.
Yes.
I love and vinegar chips.
Yeah.
Now, for our cocktails today, after the show at my place,
I got the snack of Changi.
I got the sour cream.
Yeah, that sour cream sauce is one of the best snacks.
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
That's my favourite flavour.
Did you want and vinegar?
I wanted and vinegar.
I know you did. Yeah, I know.
Well, I can stop because I'll pop by and get some healthy things like carrots and I'll get some and vinegar as well.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
That's good.
The carrots can just sit there as a gesture.
Well, no, Karwin eats those.
Yeah, that's right because she doesn't eat meat.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'll get and carrots.
Okay, so I'll do a whole charcuterie board
and then I'll just put a salt lamp and some carrots out for you
how does that sound
I'll stop at
PGG Wrightson
and grab a salt lamp
yeah
well thank you guys
for later on
this is going to be great
it's got magnesium in it
it'll be fantastic
perfect easy
it's got all the other stuff
play ZM's
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley
nice to hear from
little Naz X again
yeah what's he up to
can we get some more plays
it was quite
yeah
he must be working on something
you'd hope so.
I just wanted to just, ha ha, ha ha, fun.
Little Nas X.
He is fun because I've got terrible news.
Terrible news.
Okay.
Banana.
Banana.
Banana.
Banana.
There's a virus.
Bananas have a virus.
What, like a banana's kind of herpes or something?
It's worse than herpes.
Okay.
It's bananas.
It's killing banana trees.
So it's a bad virus.
Oh, I'd like that because we've got too many in our house.
They pop up like weeds.
Bananas?
No, banana trees.
Oh, okay.
But they are more banana trees.
How do I put this?
All the banana trees that grow our bananas
that we eat.
Bananas?
Bananas.
Are all in the same band, eh?
Well, they grow within,
it's the same as the tropic,
it's the belt
around the middle of the earth.
Right.
It's where your coffee grows.
It's cocaine, bananas,
you know, your three vital...
The food pyramid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For a Ponsonby real estate agent.
Banana on the way to work, bump a coke.
That's all you need until dinner.
Way we go, way we go, way we go,
way we go. A little bit more cocaine,
maybe a mid-afternoon coffee.
And then espresso martini. And then espresso martini
and then more bananas for
put. As they just come
crashing down with the
promise of a real estate industry
that is bouncing back.
Yeah.
So those guys are going to be most upset
because they're about to lose the bananas.
They're all clones of,
they're all a clone.
They found the banana that works.
You sound like a raving lunatic, Warren.
They're clones.
They're clones.
Are you familiar with the cloning process?
I believe it's the Cavendish.
The Cavendish banana is a clone of,
they worked out,
they put two types of banana together
and they eliminated the seeds in a banana.
Because you might be like,
how do they keep growing these bananas?
There's no seeds in them.
They clone the plant
and then they plant it again and again and again.
There are hundreds of thousands of them.
Now, the problem with cloning
and you'll be familiar
with this if you've watched the Star Wars prequels
Mistaken identity.
Yes, that.
Listen to me, it's the real me.
This is the real me.
Don't listen to that version, it's a clone.
So, the
virus has gone to one of them but they're all
identical. It'd be like but they're all identical.
Yep.
It'd be like if we were all identical and COVID got in and it killed the first one and you're like, well, we're stuffed because we're all the same.
We're all the same.
We've got the same weaknesses.
We've got the same strengths.
So this virus that's got in is just like tearing through all of these clone banana plants.
And that is most of the bananas that we consume around the world, this type.
Yes.
Right. More than world, this type. Yes. Right.
It's more than half, I think.
There's a real banana monopoly as well.
You like your ladyfingers, the little ones.
That's the thing, you go to like-
But are they Cavendish as well?
Or are they their own thing?
No, no, no, they're their own.
You go to the islands like Samoa, Fiji,
and you go to the breakfast buffet and you have the tiny little nanas
and you're like,
these nanas taste different.
It's because we're used to
the Cavendish nana.
Yeah.
And those are going to be
the only nanas that survive.
Well, what about the massive ones
that plunge,
is it the plantain?
They're like big bananas.
They taste like kumara.
But they're, yeah,
a bit more flowery.
They put people off
because they're too big.
Yeah.
You know,
you look at the size of it
and you're like,
that's not going in my cereal.
Yeah, exactly.
That won't even fit in my bowl.
It's going to be dominant.
Yeah.
Chop the end off.
The real estate agents
are like,
yeah, I can do it.
Oh, I can do it.
I'll sell your house
and I'll eat your big giant plantain.
Put it on there.
But yeah,
so it's this huge,
like the banana industry is literally shaking at the knees.
They're on their knees and they're like, please.
Because they can't do anything.
They've got to try to stop it.
It's like coldy dieback.
Can they put in some spray stations and some boot cleaners?
100%.
Yeah, little brushes for our boots and stuff.
Yeah.
Goodness me.
I'm just saying, I don't even have a banana today.
Because I was reading about this last night. I said, shut up. Every day saying, I don't even have a banana today, because I was reading about
this last night, and I said, shut up.
I have a banana every day, and then I went to
get my breakfast ready for this morning, and there was no
bananas, and I said, and you can
imagine in a loving tone,
huh, I see the Cavendish shortages
already hit us, and that
sort of tone.
And that went down really well.
You know, you're capable of buying bananas.
Yeah.
Well, you only buy five at a time
and then the kids are like,
can I have another banana?
They're eating three a day
like a Ponce would be real estate agent.
Oh, gosh.
Hopefully they're not doing the rest.
If my children are doing cocaine,
I will be very disappointed.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley
Silly little poe
Silly little poe It Silly little poe.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little poe.
Silly little poe.
Silly little poe.
Silly little poe.
Silly little poe.
What, pray tell, do you call your parents?
It's mum and dad.
I call my mum and dad.
I call my parents mum and dad most of the time, mum.
But sometimes I call them mama and dada.
Mama and dada.
Yeah, dada.
Because my mum called her dad dada.
Right.
Till the day he died.
Dada.
Yeah.
So what were the options we had?
Mum.
Thousands of votes.
Mum and dad, mummy and daddy, their first names or other.
And I think out of the thousands and thousands of votes we had,
there were like 40-something that say Mummy, Daddy.
Mummy.
My Mummy.
Very British.
Mummy.
90% of people say Mum and Dad.
Yeah.
Okay.
1% say Mummy and Daddy.
Mummy and Daddy. percent of people say mum and dad yeah okay one percent say mummy and daddy mummy and daddy five
percent call them by their first names and four percent other yeah there was a conversation in
the group chat last night about a few of the um our friends called their parents by their names
yeah it's it's really disrespectful yeah hey mum i don't know what I get called. I think it's Dad mostly.
But every now and then I'll get a Dadda.
Dadda.
Just like off the top.
Hey, Dadda.
Like that.
Yeah.
That'll stop though, won't it?
But no Daddy?
Daddy was years ago?
Daddy?
No.
I haven't been called Bloody Daddy for years.
Fletch?
How long ago did you get called Daddy?
I will throw this at you.
Daddy him.
So four and a half thousand votes for mum and dad.
48 votes for mummy and daddy.
So let's find out what people are calling their parents.
I call them mummy and daddy if I need something from them, says Kiko.
Mummy.
Mummy.
And mum's like, here it comes.
She's asking for money.
It's money.
Sam says I call my mum mum 90% of the time,
but I call her Alison
when I feel like
being a shitbag
yeah
same
every now and then
they go Patsy
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Christine
excuse me Patsy
generally Christine
you can't say that
that's what I'm saying
Chris
oh yeah
you gotta be careful
around Vaughn
you can't say he
oh yeah

bloody media
Kate said always wear their first names now started as a thing just to piss my mum off when I was a teenager He's a bit PC. Oh, is he? Bloody media.
Kate said,

Started as a thing just to piss my mum off
when I was a teenager.
So obviously,
I have to win this game.
Yeah.
Just carry on.
Just carrying on.
Yeah, we used to call Dad
Old Man Ian.
But everybody in our group,
we called their dads Old Man.
Oh, yeah.
Old Man Steve,
Old Man Moz.
Everybody's dad was Old Man.
And they weren't even old. Like, I'm probably as old man. Oh, yeah. Old man Steve, old man Moz. Oh, right. Everybody's dad was old man. And they weren't even old.
Like, I'm probably as old now.
Yeah.
They are, in fact,
rather young.
They were young.
I say mummy and daddy
due to a combination
of childhood guilt tripping
that they got sad
when my big sister
went to mum and dad
and the English family thing.
So CJ calls her mum and dad
mummy and daddy
because...
Yeah, do you think if we were running this poll with Brits,
it would be majority mummy, daddy?
Posh Brits call them mummy.
Yeah.
Mother, father.
Oh, yeah, mother, father.
Mother and father.
Sam says, I call mine mama and daddums.
Daddums.

Hayley, not our Hayley.
This is Hayley without the first Y.
This is the comet.
You've misspelt it.
Yeah, this is like Bill Hayley.
Yeah, yeah.
And Hayley's comet.
Hayley Joel Elsmond.
My mum hates it when I used to call her by her first name,
which is Brenda.
Said it was very disrespectful.
Brendys. That gave my brother fuel to wind her up more by calling
her Brenda. However,
I address my male parent as
father and he addresses me as daughter.
Very formally. No idea
why. I love that. Father,
daughter. Peggy said, I'm from
Germany. It's mama and papa.
With a very long second A.
So mama, papa.
I'll drag it out for at least
two seconds. Mama.
I have a lot of, like Maori people
do mama and papa. Yeah.
My friend's papa. It is weird
and I feel like we might have
looked into it for a fact of the
day once about how around
the world, the words for mother and
father are so similar.
Between languages that would never have had contact
with each other. Yeah, I know.
Maybe, I reckon it's to do with what you
do with as a baby.
Mama, mama, mama.
The first, like, yeah.
That's all. That's today's Silly Little Pole.
Thank you all very much for joining us.
Lonely Planet's top 10 best value destinations.
Nice.
The Midwest.
Of America.
Of America is in there.
I've never been.
I'd love to.
Is that like Wyoming?
Yeah.
Yeah. Wyoming's beautiful.
Milwaukee.
Yeah. The middle part, but not.
Because I always thought the Midwest was halfway down the West Coast.
Oh, okay.
It feels like it would be.
And they always talk about Midwest.
And I was like, well, it's not.
It's just the middle.
It's the middle.
It's the Middle West.
It's the Middle East.
It's the middle part of America.
It's definitely not the Middle East.
My in-laws love it.
Really?
Love it.
They just said, you know, America, how America was always like definitely not the Middle East. Great. Landlords love it. Really? Love it.
They just said, you know, America, how America was always like portrayed to you.
Yeah.
Poland.
Also on the list.
I love Poland.
I've been to Warsaw.
No, really cheap. Okay.
Eastern Europe is amazing.
Eastern Europe, still bouncing back from communism, so it hasn't caught up with capitalism.
And it's got some really amazing, like, I've never been, but it's got really nice mountains and lakes
and that kind of outdoorsy vibe
as well. The Danube
Danube, you know that river?
Danube Limes in Romania.
An area of Romania.
Must be limestone cliffs or something.
Normandy in France.
Great value for money.
Egypt. Great value for money.
According to Lonely Planet. Best value money, according to Lonely Planet.
Best value destinations, according to Lonely Planet.
Ikaria in
Greece. Okay. Algeria.
Okay. The night
trains in Europe.
Going on the
night train. Save yourself a hotel and
sleep on the train while you go into your
next destination. And the Southern Lakes
and Central Otago, New Zealand.
What?
I love it.
It's one of my favourite areas of this country.
Summer, it's beautiful.
Winter, there's skiing.
Autumn.
Oh, my God, it's golden.
It's delicious.
It's beautiful.
Spring, it's coming back to life.
I want to live there.
I have lived there.
Gorgeous.
Beasters everywhere you look.
But I would not have considered it affordable or valued for money.
No, certainly not.
Oh, no.
Maybe outside of Wanaka and Queenstown, like, you know,
your Alexandras or your Cromwells or your Cromwell rules.
But it's, yeah.
Because this isn't Lonely Planet.
This just isn't, like, living.
Yeah.
This is travelling.
And, I mean, you know, you burn through some cash in those tourist areas.
Do your what?
Hell yeah.
You're like, oh, yeah, just a couple of beers, thanks, mate.
He's like, yeah, okay, $82.
I mean, it's not like Europe level.
No, no, no, no, no.
Where you hear of tourists going for a lunch and they're like,
oh, my God, that fish was $500.
Or I got a water and it was $800.
Or that snapper fillet was $5,000.
I mean, we are literally as far from the ocean as we could be.
But why is the fish so expensive?
I feel like every time I go down south, like to the Otago region,
I'm always shocked at how much money I spend.
You come back and you're like, how did that cost that much?
What happened?
But then I'm thinking you, like my wife, have an expensive taste.
Oh, my God.
I said this to Aaron yesterday.
I was like, I've got an expensive taste.
He was like, yeah.
Yeah, you do.
I was looking for a light, like a light with short two lights.
And I was looking.
Every time I see one, I'm always like, oh, that's nice.
So anytime I see a car that drives by, I'm always like, what's that?
Lamborghini.
And you're like, oh, for God's sake, get a grip.
I don't need that budget.
So my wife would be like, rather than,
meh-wah.
Meh-wah.
Meh-wah.
I'm just going to call her Sade from here on out
because that's her name.
But Sade will be like, oh, okay.
Oh, I'm hungry.
Should we go to Amherst Field?
Yes.
She's like, why can't we just eat a food roll?
Well, we're here.
But that's the thing.
If you're in Queenstown, you don't go to the bakery.
You are.
Yes, you do.
But you go to Ferg's Bakery.
Ferg's Bakery.
Even that,
that's significantly more expensive
than your average bakery.
Your champagne lifestyle
on a beer budget.
I am champagne on a beer budget.
Yeah.
But I want the champagne.
Your champagne lifestyle
on a champagne credit card
and then a champagne pay off period.
No, I don't have a credit card for this very reason.
That's right, you don't.
Because I've got champagne taste.
It blows my mind you don't have a credit card.
I can't be trusted.
I'll just spend money that's not mine.
I cannot do it.
Well, that's actually very responsible.
Thank you.
I look forward to you somehow buying that Lamborghini
without a credit card.
God knows.
Play.
ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
From the self-driving ZM think tank,
this is the Top Six.
Gangs, gangs, gangs, gangs.
We respect you and we want no bad words.
We're not saying anything bad about gangs. You do
you. You just said you wanted all
gangs dead. Hey!
I heard it. Did you hear that? I heard her
say that. I didn't say that.
I don't think she said dead.
Well, that's me gone.
It's been good. Well, there was
lead up to the election, there was a lot
of talk about gangs. A lot of talk about it being tough
on crime. Yeah. A lot of talk about it, so
it's time for the talk to
be done. Less hooey,
more doey, we say in our family. Yeah, that's what I'm after.
Less talking, more
doing. What's the
English version of that? Nothing
that there's anything wrong with using hooey.
Less hooey, more doing. A little less
conversation, a little more action.
Thank you, Elvis Presley.
So it's time for the action.
And Mark Mitchell, who will be expected to be the next police minister,
has said that gang members with gang facial tattoos
have to apply foundation when they wake up in the morning or face arrest.
Foundation.
The party is promising to allow police to search suspected gang members,
their vehicles and their properties without warrants
and issued dispersal notices banning gang members from talking to one another.
Good luck.
The police are just like, ah, come on.
Leave us alone.
We've got enough to do.
Gang activity will be banned on social media,
which is terrible news for Hale's Kitchen,
which over lockdown really
got a lot of viewers as gang members
were showing you how to make cheap and easy meals.
Cheap and cheerful meals.
Shivers.
I don't know. Good luck. It's like finding
a full coverage foundation that'll actually
cover these tattoos. Exactly.
Fin Lizzy was talked about.
Fin Lizzy was talked about.
So I've got the top six other ways to cover up tattoos.
Okay.
Foundation's not for everybody.
You, for example, hate it, don't you?
I absolutely hate it.
Every morning when you cover up your Playboy Bunny face tat.
On the left cheek as well.
It was bold, man.
At the time it felt right.
It was bold.
He's a Playboy.
Number six on the list, cover it with body hair.
You could get a little bit of regain and just work it into the patch.
Yeah, and it'll grow.
The hair will grow thick there.
And then thick enough that it'll cover it up.
Number five on the list of the top six ways to cover up tattoos.
If foundation's not for you, a giant hickey.
If you get a hickey, that would make it hard to read.
Just suck on them.
Every couple of days, someone sucks your tattoo.
Suck on them.
Forehead.
Yeah.
Imagine trying to give someone a forehead hickey.
Well, if you had a gang tattoo across your forehead, which is not unpopular,
you'd have to have a hickey.
Yeah, suck on it.
Number four on the list of the top six ways to cover up tattoos
if foundation's not for you.
Cake icing.
Tinted accordingly.
Oh, yeah.
Are you people that start licking you in the street?
Are you a vanilla icing?
Are you a chocolate icing?
Are you a caramel icing?
Touch of cocoa.
Touch more cocoa.
Touch more cocoa.
I'll get too much cocoa for me.
And then you go back to vanilla.
More icing sugar.
More icing sugar.
You were saying, oh, like cocoa.
I was thinking more like I'd just go like a really nice pink.
Oh, yeah, strawberry.
Like a donut frosting.
Okay, that works.
But you'd still have flesh sucking on your forehead that way.
Wait, do you want the hickey or not?
Or can I lick the icing?
Suck the icing off.
Right, okay.
Number three on the list of the top six other ways to cover up tattoos
when they become illegal.
Another tattoo. Yeah, right they become illegal? Another tattoo.
Yeah, right. Just tattoo over the tattoo.
Cover ups. With another tattoo.
Number two on the list of the top six ways to cover up
tattoos according to the, now that
the government's saying they need to be covered up, mum's stockings.
Oh, yeah. Do you ever put
your mum's stockings on your arm? Yeah.
And you're like, it's hard to tell.
Hard to tell whether, if it's skin or not. And then there's little hairs poking through the stockings. Yeah. I mean, I used to wear stockings on your arm. Yeah. And you're like, it's hard to tell. Hard to tell whether, if it's skin or not.
And then there's little hairs
poking through the stockings.
Yeah.
I mean,
I used to wear stockings
on my arms as a goth.
Yes.
You could just do a goth stocking.
Hard to see through.
A very dark stocking.
Cover it right up.
And number one on the list
of the top six ways
to cover up tattoos,
duct tape.
It covers everything.
Yeah.
Cover up all matter
of things like holes in the wall.
Just put some duct tape on
and you won't get arrested.
Chuck a bit of duct tape over there
so you can go and do your shopping.
I don't know.
This seems madness.
It seems like madness.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
It's the final ranking.
We do this every Friday.
It's called Final Rankings.
We rank a topic, an item.
Normally it's food.
Today it's not, though.
It's power tools.
Now, there has been a ruling on the water blaster.
That's an outside appliance.
Yeah.
What category of tool is a water blaster?
How to choose the right water blaster.
No, I'll go to one of those.
Go to minor 10.
I think we just go for, like, power tools that builders use.
Drills.
You know?
Or the home handy person uses.
Hey, did you know the CEO of Mitre 10 is a woman?
I didn't know that.
That's fantastic.
That's really good, eh?
I love that.
Andrea Scown.
Are you just Googling this?
I just Googled Mitre 10 to go to the shop to see whereabouts, in what category.
Or just email,
just put her full name.
Sometimes I put a dot
in the middle
and then just
at my to 10 dot
code.
Power Garden Tools.
I'm not emailing her
to ask her.
Why don't I just ask her
for the,
if she knows,
if she can definitively rule
if the water blaster
is a power tool.
Shop,
tools and equipment,
Power Garden Tools.
That's what I want to talk about
at some stage.
Okay,
but we're not doing Power Garden Tools. We're doing Power Tools. But one day we want to talk about At some stage We're not Okay but we're not doing
Power garden tools
We're doing power tools
But one day
We have to do power garden tools
I think that's the only
Power garden tool
No no no
Lawmire
Chainsaw
Water blaster
Weed whacker
Okay okay
We'll do that as a separate one
There's line trimmer
Separate one
There's lots
Okay good call
Well just power tools
Hedge trimmers
I'll start
Jigsaw
Yeah jigsaw's great.
Jigsaw's very versatile.
How fun are they?
They're fun.
They're fun.
I like a drop saw.
Oh, a drop saw.
Yes.
I remember when I first bought my drop saw, I was just drop sawing everything.
How many times have you used your drop saw?
A couple of times.
Heaps.
Whatever, ten times.
He's used it ten times.
No, he's used it every day.
Yeah, but you're doing home renovations. Built the whole deck with a drop saw. Oh, yeah. The builder built the whole deck with it. Yeah, the's used it 10 times. No, he's used it every day. Yeah, but you're doing home renovations.
Built the whole deck with a drop saw.
Oh, yeah.
The builder built the whole deck with a...
Yeah, the builder used it.
The builder.
The builder should bring his own.
He was out there with a drop saw.
Stop trying to be...
Yeah, you brought your drop saw out.
Stop with the drop saw.
Stop trying to...
I like, when it comes to drills, impact driver.
So the drill that goes...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it doesn't
it rattles
and it goes
very powerful
not just a drill
for like a little
screw in the wall
but like a
I'm sewing this
house together
yeah
what about a
skill saw
yeah like a
skill saw
it's the drop saw
without the drop
but they scare me
a bit
yeah
because you're always
the loosey goosey
if we're talking
scary
angle grinders angle grinders.
Angle grinders are terrifying.
Oh, yeah, those things
will pop off and lose an eye
or a limb.
Those discs are terrifying.
What about a renovator?
That's like your motorised saw.
Oh, I like those.
And then you can just,
you just cut through anything.
Cut a hole through jib.
They annoy me, though,
with their versatility.
They seem kind of good
at everything,
but not really great at one thing.
Yeah, they create the most janky lines.
Yeah.
You've got to tidy it up afterwards.
What about an orbital sander or a belt sander?
No, no, no, no, orbital sander.
Orbital for you.
Or mouse sander.
Okay, what else have we got here?
Reciprocating saw?
That's scary.
I don't know what those are.
They're the ones when you're cutting.
More or less, more for demo.
If you just need to cut something out,
like you need to cut through nails and stuff
that are holding something in,
you just get in the gap and it's like...
That's how we demoed the back of our house.
It's just a couple of those just chopping through
chicken wire and nails and screws and wood and everything.
Okay.
Wear some safety glasses, please.
Do you know what I hate is a nail gun.
Do you love a nail gun?
I love nail guns.
Okay, I think nail gun's going to be number one on my list
the builders, they don't give you a heads up
and then you're just walking around your house thinking it's all going to do
and you've shat yourself twice haven't you
I've shat myself twice
I'll go
I'll rank, number one for me
is the impact driver
your intense screwdriver.
Okay.
Number two, I'm going drop saw.
And it creates such a beautiful dust.
Yeah, that's beautiful.
A beautiful dust.
A beautiful dust.
And number three, I'm going the orbital sander.
It's every renovator's must-have.
Okay.
I'm going to go nail gun.
Nail gun.
Drop saw.
Yeah.
And... Hot glue gun. Trick saw. Hot glue gun. I'm going to go Nailgun, Dropsword, and Jigsaw.
Hot glue gun.
You lead the charge with Jigsaw.
Jigsaw, Jigsaw.
Okay, those are my three.
Okay, I'm going to go Dropsword, number one.
Number two is Nailgun, and number three is...
It's hard, isn't it?
Builder's Pencil. I think a standard drill.
Standard?
Just a standard?
Standard drill.
Super handy.
Everyone needs to own one.
Yeah, the impact driver rules,
but a drill can do what an impact driver can do.
An impact driver can't do what a drill can do.
No, a drill can't do what an impact driver does.
This is sexy stuff, isn't it?
Crank it to that setting and absolutely give it a whole hose.
Right.
Stop smoking.
Wow, that was good.
Grab a pie and a van, bloody head to the work site.
Oh, hang on.
Would we consider a power tool the builder's radio?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it does run off one of the Makita batteries.
Yeah, it does.
Our builder's got a Makita radio.
Blast it all day long.
To city of birth.
Somebody, some messages in on the topic.
Number one's got to be the impact driver,
a.k.a. the ooga-dooga gum.
Ooga-dooga, ooga-dooga, ooga-dooga, ooga-dooga, ooga-dooga.
Battery-powered grinder is number one.
It's a tool and a skeleton key.
Yeah, that's the grinder.
The angle grinder.
Battery-powered grinder.
Reciprocated saw.
Somebody said, every time I use it, I get so excited.
Yeah.
It's a grunty thing.
Sabre saw is its other name.
It's a good start.
I should have known a sabre saw.
Learn not to be scared of power tools.
Play it.
ZM's Fletchford and Hayley.
The America's Cup is now New Zealand's Cup.
Like a Steve Adams.
Oh, beautiful connection.
The All Blacks celebrating already. Sports talk. Oh, beautiful connection. The All Blacks celebrating already.
Sports talk.
Oh, we're talking about sports.
You're playing with a couple of beers.
Joining us again this weekend ahead of the final of the Rugby World Cup.
It's the All Blacks versus the Springboks.
James McConey, we welcome back to the show.
Good morning.
Try again, James. Hello, we welcome back to the show. Good morning. Try again, James.
Hello, James.
I don't know why he's not there.
He was there.
We were just chatting with him.
Are you there, James?
James.
He should be there.
Yeah, I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm here.
There he is.
There he is.
There he is.
He muted himself.
He muted himself.
I thought he was gone.
Thank God. I'm back. Don't you worry. muted himself. I thought he was gone. Thank God.
No, I'm back.
Don't you worry.
I'll never leave this show like that.
Thank God.
Never.
What have you been doing?
You're a lad about town.
What have you been doing in France in this week between semifinal and grand final?
Well, it's called scrounging for stories,
just desperately calling every single
ex-rugby player
and you can even
feel the eye roll
as you say
what are you up to
today
I think we can talk
to you a little bit
about this game
that's coming up
over the weekend
and finally I went
okay fine
we'll go to a
press conference
I went to the
South African
press conference
oh my goodness
they promised breakfast
but they didn't deliver
Oh my god
unbelievable Also you don't want to trust South African catering ahead of a final No Oh, my goodness. They promised breakfast, but they didn't deliver. Oh, my God.
Unbelievable.
Also, you don't want to trust South African catering ahead of a final.
Exactly.
But I didn't care.
I was happy to get food poisoning and take one for the team.
But that was going to be my first question in the press conference.
It was like, whatever you said there was breakfast and there's no breakfast.
But someone asked a rugby question and it all got out of control. Oh, they had to focus on the rugby.
Lame.
Yeah, lame.
Now, the All Blacks team has been named for the final,
and are we happy from everything you're seeing on the ground,
talking to the people in the know?
Have we got this?
Oh, someone called Pharrell, because clap along.
I am extremely happy, although I think Hayley's a bit
annoyed, a bit annoyed
that Sam White locks on the bench
straight away, she's like, what's going on?
I've told you this before mate
I love a big, hairy
man, and that's my boy
on the bench
Well he looks like a llama and he will come
on and I tell you what, I'll
pack a punch.
Anyway, he is basically there to finish the game because he's such a total pro.
Yeah.
We need you.
We need Nepo-la-la-la, a bit of Nepotism there by getting in the best scrummager.
And then also they've got Samasone Tokiaho because Dan Coles will be a bit gutted.
But Samasone is just, he's all energy and he's got a bit of grunt.
And South Africa have got seven forwards on their bench,
which means seven people who turn up and go,
I'm Matt Damon, and they all turn up to play.
Right.
And one back, one fullback in reserve.
Okay.
Oh, shit.
Now, we mentioned last week the beautiful Argentinians.
Sad to see them go home.
How do we have the more attractive team?
What about the South Africans?
I'm just having a go-go.
I'll be the judge of that.
Well, I don't know.
Some of the South Africans are pretty sexy.
And by the way, Seer Kulisi, who was at the press conference today,
I've got a massive man crush on him because every time he speaks,
I just go, yes, yes, Seer.
I'll follow you to the edge of the earth.
So they have the – they've got an awesome captain.
And he's not the mother of dragons that people are like, oh, wait a second.
He stole him that Khaleesi thing.
No, he was born with that way before George R.R. Martin came up with it.
But he pretty much said he was like total respect for the All Blacks,
loves Sam Kane.
He broke his neck.
I was in that game, and then I went and saw him in hospital,
and what he's done is the most inspirational thing.
And I was, I mean, I got emotional.
I got misty-eyed.
I was like, why aren't there tissues at the press conference?
Yeah, or food.
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
Or breakfast.
Or food, or food.
God, there's a couple of whopper men in the South African team.
Units, eh?
Units.
Oh, if that's what you're into.
Yeah, yeah, they're massive.
One guy comes off the bench, he's 6'10", RG Stamon.
Weirdly, he had the Mr. T look, a white Mr. T.
He had the mohawk and he had that, you know, the tank top.
You know, like the tank top?
It's not a full singlet, but it's a tank.
You know, like it's a bit of a longer sleeve up over the shoulder.
Yeah, nice.
Okay.
He's huge. He did that last week. You know, like it's a bit of a longer sleeve up over the shoulder. Yeah, nice. Okay. Is it?
He is huge. Yeah, he did that last week.
You are singing my song, James.
Oh, no.
This is the only reason why I'm watching.
I'm very excited to watch the game.
We're all watching together.
We're having mimosas, darling, and Vaughn's going to cook us a lovely breakfast.
Well, exactly.
It's a perfect day for a lovely breakfast.
You watch the game. You probably think,
well, can the All Blacks win this year? Of course
they can. They've just got to try and keep it away from those
absolute behemoths that you just
Googled. And you wouldn't want
to know their dimensions, upstairs or downstairs.
I actually would like to know, but we'll
have that chat off. Are we
going to win this? Because the TAB are
saying New Zealand are the favourites,
paying $1.65 South Africa outside at $2.15.
What does your heart say?
My heart says I can't bet with the TAB in France.
It's geo-blocked.
But I would say that it is the all-blakes.
Because normally they put a bet on the other team you don't want to win
because you get money even though, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If your team doesn't win, you get a little payday.
Yeah.
But I'm thinking All Blacks because we've got too many weapons.
Our bench is balanced.
They've got this 7-1 split.
That means there's no reserve halfback.
If Faf the Clerk, who looks like a mini Thor or maybe –
Oh, my God, he does.
He needs a haircut.
The blonde hair!
It's terrible.
They call him My Little Pony
actually and he's got beautiful...
I wanted to brush his hair today
but they didn't allow that. It was all business
today. No brushing of the hair.
Next time I go to the hairdresser, I'm going to say,
give me the faff to clerk.
That is the most perfect blonde
actually.
Yeah, stunning. Beautiful, yeah.
Yeah, stunning.
Has there ever been a rugby World Cup final with three brothers starting for the same team?
Because I'm just looking that all three Barretts are starting.
That must feel amazing as a family.
No, I don't think so.
I think three brothers is the maximum.
We've had the Whetton brothers, I guess.
We've had the Brook brothers.
That's two.
Two and two. The Blues brothers. No, no way. Not a chance. The Jonas brothers. The Bluesetton brothers, I guess. We've had the Brook brothers. That's two. Two and two.
The Blues brothers. No, no way. Not a chance. The Jonas brothers.
The Blues brothers. Yeah, I know.
Belushi, RIP.
He only started one World Cup.
Yeah, but
Ackroyd sort of
put on the beast.
He went on a conspiracy theory tour.
We all do that.
He did.
The Barrett brothers are
oh yeah
that is really
if you look at
the Barrett brothers
it's been
an amazing story.
Not an ever ending story
I know you've got to go
to ads at some point
but actually
Gordie Barrett
the way that he's moved
from fullback
to second five
has been this
ultimate surprise
but suddenly
we've got this
9-10-12 combo
which is a thing of beauty. Isn't it wonderful we've got this 9-10-12 combo,
which is a thing of beauty.
Isn't it wonderful? For me, the 9-10-12 combo,
I was just going to bring that up with you.
You were just saying this morning about the 9-10-11-12.
It is a thing of beauty.
You've got it so right there, James.
Thank you for bringing that up.
Yep.
The never-ending story.
James Vukoni, thank you so much.
I love you.

And growing up in Wellington, you would have done all the public transport.
Oh my God, yeah. Because I lived in Eastbourne and I went to school in town.
I was on the bus at 6.50 every morning.
You're not a public transport snob.
No, hell no.
Say what you want about Hayley Sproul.

All of them.
Is it Twitter?
It's Twitter, yeah.
It's Twitter.
Anyway, there was a-

From Twitter to Twatter.
Twitter to X, and then went back to Twitter, then it went to Twatter. Anyway, there was a... It changed its name, didn't it? From Twitter to Twatter. Twitter to X,
and then went back to Twitter,
then it went to Twatter.
Anyway, there was a woman spotted on a bus,
and she was waxing her leg.
Like...
Ooh!
Is this in New Zealand or overseas?
Colombia.
Me Colombia.
Hairy, though.
She'd be a bit hairy.
Colombian woman.
They love to grow a little bit of a tush.
Do they? Do they? I didn't know that. In general, and I say this as a a little bit of a tush. Do they?
Do they?
I didn't know that.
In general.
And I say this as a woman who grows a mighty tush.
You do grow a mighty tush.
I say, when I see a Colombian woman, my eyes aren't often drawn to the tush area.
Yeah, I know.
The tush area.
Tush.
Not the tush.
Yes, indeed.
So she was just sitting there with her legs crossed.
She was on the phone, chatting away, and waxing her leg
with one of those, you know, the ready-made strips.
Not like a hot wax, but like ready-made.
Warm it up with your hands, put it on, rip it off.
Is this one of those occasions where you're on your way into the town,
you didn't have enough time, and so you're just doing it on the way?
Yeah, like a quick, but I would go like maybe a quick like shave of the pit
or something, but a full wax. You just wear jeans, way? Yeah, like a quick, but I would go like maybe a quick like shave of the pit or something.
But a full wax.
You just wear jeans, right?
Yeah, well, she is.
She's wearing like a little mini skirt.
There you go.
I've got Vaughn back.
Wearing a little mini skirt and a pair of black boots.
And it's like, look at her.
She's just having a merry time.
She's like chatting away on her iPhone.
Oh, ouch.
That is a packed bus.
It's huge.
She's on the side and
everyone's looking at her. There's an old lady being like
looking at her.
What a strange thing to do on public transport.
Very bizarre. Very bizarre.
So I thought
we could talk
about the weirdest things you've seen on public transport.
Because man, it gets crazy in there
sometimes. It does. Have you ever been on a bus
in LA? Yes. My God. No. you ever been on a bus in LA yes my
god no oh my god yes buses in LA are wild they're pretty yeah there's some interesting people I
think my mum because I went on a holiday trip when I was 17 and my brother would have been 20
and our parents and we were in Hollywood for a week or something I think they were like oh be
fun to catch the bus in Hollywood only once oh my Oh my god, I think like 50% of the
people had pissed themselves and then like the other
50 were preaching about Jesus and it was like
what is going on? Yeah.
But weird, strange things happen.
You know, it's public transport, open to anyone.
Maybe someone's
eating a butter chicken. Yeah, the problem with public transport is
the public's access to it.
Yeah, that's what makes it public. The public,
the problem here. Unlike my private bus.
Yeah.
Private transport.
Charter.
If the public are in your private transport,
you've even got a bigger problem on your list.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
We're talking about the weirdest things you've seen
on public transport,
because a woman was waxing her legs on a bus in Colombia.
Then, right, as an answer to this,
other people are sharing,
there's a video of some guy,
someone saying, this guy's literally
tap dancing in his dressing gown on
the tube. And it's just this drunk
guy being like, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
Guys. The tube is crazy. People
don't even say good morning to you.
It's so sad. Oh, it's horrible. Remember when we went on the tube?
It's just like your cattle, you're being
pushed on, taken off at
another stop.
Wild.
Wild.
Gun bolt to the back of the head and then you're being sliced up for delicious fillets.
There are some wild stories coming in.
Did you know there is an Instagram account dedicated to the antics of the Waiheke Ferry?
Is?
Oh, no.
Pondy Boat.
P-O-N.
Because I don't remember coming back on the boat from your 40th.
For sure. You might be on there if you go back and check the date.
I don't really remember that.
Must be someone that works or regularly takes it.
Pondy boat.
P-O-N, full stop, D-E, full stop, B-O-A-T.
Oh, my God.
Simply must follow this.
Pondy boat.
Pondy boat.

That guy's pants are down.
Britney Spears is entirely naked on Instagram.
Oh my god, that'll get taken down. We'll come back to that later.
The hurdle of screenshot.
We're talking about antics.
This is a great Instagram account.
I know, I know.
I saw it and I was like, this is going to be great.
I'm just going to scroll right down to when
we went over for your 40th.
Somebody said, people vape on my bus all the time.
It's disgusting that people think that's okay.
To be honest, of the stories we're hearing,
vaping right down the bottom of the list of appropriate things.
I'll say I cannot believe how many people are playing with themselves on a bus
or a public transport.
I remember seeing that when I was a teenager.
I was on a subway train in South Korea.
In my opinion, the better Korea.
Now, I know that's a controversial opinion.
Well, Hayley, your favourite of North, aren't you?
Your favourite's North Korea.
Yeah, South Korea sucks.
You are a huge fan of the demilitarised zone.
You know I love to sit on a fence.
Yeah, loves to sit on a fence.
So I was on a train in South Korea and a man was having a heart attack
and everyone just stood and watched him slowly die on the floor
without doing a single thing.
It was the strangest thing
I've ever seen
on public transport.
But wait,
did that person do anything?
Well, they tried.
Well, they were memorising it
so they could share it
as a great anecdote
on the radio one day.
This will make a great story.
Yeah.
I was on a bus
in Cuenca, Ecuador.
Ecuador.
Cuenca.
C-U-E-N-C-A
Cuenca
Cuenca
Sure
And a woman squatted down next to me in the aisle
And I was like, oh, okay
And then she did wheeze all over the floor
Now that could happen in Cuenca, Ecuador
Or that could happen in Wellington
Or that could happen in Auckland
Or that could happen in a coetany place in Wellington
What you don't see, listener, is that while the songs are playing,
I am reading Britney's autobiography.
And I will say this is one of the easiest and best books I've read in ages.
I gave Hayley a ride to work this morning because she lost her licence.
She's the unnamed female broadcaster.
She's not.
And she recounted the yarns from this book.
And I was like, holy moly.
And then I see you're only just into it.
Page four, I was aghast.
Wow.
The stories, you're just,
you've absolutely changed my entire perspective
on Britney Spears in one car ride.
It's truly a great book.
And she is pissed.
You just did a chapter and it was a page and a half.
Yeah, I know.
Short chapters.
She writes so simply and bluntly and it's really fun to read.
It's not fun to read, it's harrowing.
Well, that is our Friday flashback.
I'm going to do a Britney.
I'm toying between a few things.
If you have a specific request, you can text 9696.
Otherwise, leave it to me.
Right now though, we are talking the craziest, weirdest things you've seen on public transport.
Yeah.
A woman in Colombia was waxing her legs.
Yep, with those ready-made wax strips.
Luna, what is the craziest thing you've seen on public transport?
Luna?
Oh, morning.
Good morning, Luna.
Sorry, I heard the beep and I was like, that must be me.
That's you, babes.
What's the weirdest thing that you've seen on public transport?
Oh, well, okay, brace yourself.
So I'm from England.
I met my lovely Kiwi now husband over there.
I live in Cornwall.
Just been on a cheeky wee date, getting to know each other and whatnot, this and that.
Hello.
And get on the bus on the way home.
All quite nice.
And a couple of girls get on.
Girl number one and girl number two, I'll call them to keep it easy.
Girl number one is absolutely trolling.
And she's, I need a wee-wee.
I need to go.
I'm absolutely just hanging on here.
And girl number two's like, no, no, no.
Just wait.
We're going to be at a toilet real soon.
We work.
We're in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah.
Anyway, so girl number one's like, nah, that's it, can't do it.
So she rips off her undies, pops her knees against the front seat
and just absolutely goes for it.
Greats the bus.
So, you know, it gets worse.
So we're like, oh, my God, this is right next to us.
Like, we saw everything.
And so girl number two's like, no.
And in the meantime,
anyway, they're sitting
on vodka.
I think they were drinking
out of this bottle
and having a merry old time.
You don't need any more of them.
She doesn't need any more.
I know.
Girl number two
was relatively sober
at that point,
but now moving on,
she's not.
Girl number two.
Right.
Girl number two
now needs to take a leak.
So girl number two, oh, no, no, I'm absolutely hanging on now.
Oh, I'm going to have to do the same.
So she rips off her undies,
pops the squat against the seat in front of her,
and absolutely goes for it.
So me and Timmy are just sitting there like, what are we watching?
This is just chaos.
At this point, there's a river running down the aisle of the bar.
Oh, oh, oh.
And the bus driver turns the corner and it's like a river wave and everyone's like, oh, my God.
And then it gets even worse.
A group of guys get on.
They've had a lovely night out.
They're pretty, you know, they're merry.
They're not too drunk.
But anyway, the girls are like, it's beer,
and they're like pointing to the aisle of wee-wees down the middle.
And anyway, something happens.
I can't remember the context, but one of the guys is like, odds of licking the floor.
Oh, no!
Luna!
And the guy loses the odds for whatever reason, gets down, starts poking the wee tongue out,
gets closer to the ground. We're like,
don't, don't do it. And he doesn't listen to us and he licks the bloody floor.
Luna!
Luna!
I know. And then it gets worse.
No, it can't get worse.
We're like, bro, that was actually, that was wee-wee's that you just licked. You should
probably go see a doctor or something. I don't know. Anyway, so then we're telling
all of our pals about this like a week or
so later. Like, oh, I can't believe what we
saw. This is out of control. Poor
Timmy. Just, you know, lovely wee
innocent Kiwi. Never seen anything like this
in his life. I'm from London. Sin a bit. But anyway.
One of our friends
comes along. Bloody hell,
Dracken, he's got with him the two girls from the freaking
bar.
Oh no! He's pushing up in fronticking bar? Ah! Oh, no!
And he puts it up in front of them,
and we're like,
no, Ryan,
you don't know what she's been doing.
Did you say something?
Did you say that?
Were you like,
oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God?
Yeah, well, she was like,
I recognise your friends from the bar,
so that made it even worse,
because then we were like,
oh, my God,
did you tell him what you were doing on the bar?
And then Timmy's like, I need to move home.
Take me back to Aotearoa.
We need to leave this country.
We did actually move back.
I don't blame you.
I think call her in the week.
Call her in the week.
Call her in the week for sure.
You've won a $50 McCafe voucher.
Thanks to our mates at McCafe.
Well done, Luna.
And I'm sure our buses are way better.
Yeah.
Comparably.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's much cleaner.
Yeah.
Yeah, shit.
This is so gross.
I can't believe that, Luna.
Poor Luna.
Thank you.
A couple of quick text messages in.
I don't think we're beating that, though.
People are manky, man.
I was on the bus when a man stepped out
In front of the bus and got run over
Worse was
We watched his leg fly down the road
And everyone was like
And then he stood up and he was like
So he's alright
And then we realised that it was a
Fake leg, it was a prosthetic leg
Might as well have been ripped clean off
Oh wait so he was already an amputee He was already an ampute It was a prosthetic leg. I thought it had been ripped clean off. Oh, wait.
So he was already an amputee.
He was already an amputee.
And his prosthetic came off.
Got knocked way down the road.
And he stood up.
I was like, oh, shit.
Yeah.
Well, this text came in.
I was like, this is going to be the best text.
But then Luna's story came in and it completely obliterated it.
In London one morning, I was walking down to the underground.
Oh, London, eh?
God, it's rough.
Yeah.
It's rough, mate.
It's bloody rough. Was walking down to the underground. Oh, you loved it, eh? God, it's rough. Yeah. It's rough, mate. It's bloody rough.
Was walking down to the underground and two pigeons were walking down the stairs.
And I was like, where are you two off to?
And then I walked with the pigeons who went under the turnstile.
Yeah.
Cheeky bug.
Oh, my God.
Walked up to the platform where I was like, I'm about to watch these pigeons get obliterated by a train.
The train stopped, opened the doors, the pigeons walked on.
They're off on a journey.
And then I was on the train with the pigeons.
The next stop, the doors opened and the pigeons walked off
and I've always wondered what happened to the pigeons.
Oh, my God.
Imagine being a pigeon coming out of the tube and being like,
this is different.
Hang on a second.
These are not the steps we came down.
And then they walk up the stairs and they're like, we've been here.
We usually fly.
I imagine it's quite tiring flying.
Yeah, exactly.
Catch the tube, man.
That's what London's all about.
Wait a minute and just waddle down to the tube.
Play ZM's Fletch Vornanalee.
Play ZM.
Britney Spears, oops, I did it again.
It's your Friday flashback as you literally read
can I read you an excerpt
okay
spoiler alert
this is great
so she's broken up
with Justin
and he's sleeping around
with a lot of people
she's like I decided
if Justin was going to date
I was going to try
and get out there
and do the same too
I saw a guy
I thought was hot
my friend said
that's cool
his name is Colin Farrell
right
we're jumping ahead
the Colin Farrell
this is pre-embrouge
she said
well talk about balls.
I got in my car and I drove up to the set of his action movie,
SWAT.
Who did I think I was?
There was no security thing.
I went on the set, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Da, da, da, da.
Colin came over and said, do you have any pointers?
Da, da, da.
We wound up having a two-week brawl.
Brawl is the only word for it.
We were all over each other grappling so passionately,
it was like we were in a street fight.
Imagine you're just at the height of Britney Spears fame.
You're just on your movie set and she just rocks up.
Yeah.
Wow.
She's like, hi.
And he's like, hello.
Wow.
That voice, everything.
Colin Farrell is a sexy man.
Dude, especially when you're bouncing back,
when you're looking for a rebound,
Colin's your guy.
Yeah.
Especially like early 2000s Colin.
He was a dirtbag and I'm loving it.
He was a filthy, filthy dirtbag.
This book rules, guys.
Yeah, wow.
You can borrow my copy.
Somebody said when you finish the book,
could we have a Hayley's version Set to a Britney Spears song
Oh my god yes
A book breakdown
Yes you can
That would be great
You can have that next week
Hell yeah banger
It takes me back to dancing with my friends
Yeah
You can still dance with your friends
You can still dance with your friends
I can dance with my friends
Yeah
I'm loving this
I'm also reading the book
And hoping to finally learn the dance to this song this weekend
oh yeah
so good
but I can't believe
just to touch on the book again
I can't believe she only gets 25%
I know
she would have got a fee up front
she would have got a big fat fee up front
yeah but wasn't that only like 10 mil or something
which for
I would have thought that's not much right this book is going to be selling insane That's a fat fee up front. Yeah. Yeah, but wasn't that only like 10 mil or something? Which for... I know, pittance.
I would have thought that's not much, right?
This book is going to be selling insane.
But it's about so much more than the money.
She's finally being heard.
She's finally saying things in her own word.
I've never felt more empowered than reading this book.
It's honestly incredible.
It's incredible.
You bloody Oprah over here.
I'm on a Britney buzz.
Oh my God, Oprah, get on this.
What are you laughing at?
A chat. You can laughing at? A chat.
You can't just snort.
I said, because I said from my recollection, and I do apologise,
but you asked, that Colin Farrell had an exquisite penis.
He does.
It is just right.
It's Kellogg's Just Right.
As I recall.
Right.
Okay.
There was a tape out at some stage, wasn't there?
And there was pictures and stuff.
Apparently.
I've seen it.
This was news to you.
I consulted the gaggle, which is my, your gauge and your gaze.
That's what the gaggle had to say.
And I said, have the gaggle seen Colin Farrell's exquisite paintings?
Yeah. And now it, have the gaggle seen Colin Farrell's exquisite penis? Yeah.
And now it's just popping off the chat.
One knows how to pop off a gay group chat, doesn't he?
I've seen the tape.
He really does, yeah.
Our friends said, look, it's not great footage, but that was the era.
Yeah.
I mean, it was no 4K penis, was it?
It was no 4K penis.
Oh, my God.
I remember him coming up for air.
Wow, that's everyone else's weekend sorted.
I am dizzy.
Okay.
Speaking of sex, beautiful transition.
Gen Z, we're heading out of Gen Z,
who apparently don't want sex or romance
to be shown in movies anymore.
They want your buddy films, your friendship films,
your girlies films.
There's not.
We were spoiled for choice in the 90s
of straight buddy comedy films.
Yeah.
And maybe that's what they're itching for.
They are looking for more.
They want to see more asexual relationships represented on screen
where sex isn't part of it. Now, I're looking for more, they want to see more asexual relationships represented on screen where sex isn't
part of it. Now I understand that
you know, like for years it was sort of gratuitous
sex or like there was just always the woman's
got her boobies out and stuff. Yeah, but are they
against a rom-com where at the end
they kiss and they... Well that's the thing, it's not
only sex, they're saying romance, they're sick of seeing it.
Maybe because dating's so hard and they're also
bitter and twisted about it.
Let's go to our Gen Z on the panel.
Yeah, I feel like I'm the most stereotypical Gen Z
asides this.
I'm a bit of a...
Really?
You like a bit...
Yeah, I thought...
Yeah, let's crowbar it in, you know?
But a lot of my friends, including my best friend,
hates a kiss in the TV, hates that whole plot line.
She's just not here for it.
Oh, my God, I'm so here for it.
Does she want it in real life. Is she prudish?
No, no, she's just like,
I don't need to see it.
The story can go along without it.
I think it's seen as...
Of course, I get that. Sometimes the scenes are in there,
they're thumbed in there.
They're crowbarred in and it's not integral to the story.
I get that. But it's nice to watch.
I consciously seek them out.
Yeah, same.
I like sex in my books and I just got it's nice to watch. I consciously seek them out. Yeah, same. Oh, you love it.
I like sex in my books, and I just got it from Colin Farrell.
I like sex in my films.
I like sex in my TV.
And I like sex in my bedroom.
I love this for you.
Good on you.
Yeah, thank you.
But have you noticed that's a thing, though?
Yeah, like, honestly, talking to the girls and stuff,
when we'll watch a movie, they're like, oh, it's just,
it's doing the most.
Whereas I'm like, well, crowbar it in.
Is it because you were like coming of age and Fifty Shades of Grey was out, whereas
the rest of us had to like spend decades working up to that?
Probably.
And the other big one's 365.
That's the one everyone references now.
Like if you're talking about like a film of that genre, it's not Fifty Shades of Grey,
it's 365.
What's 365?
Have a Google this week.
Is that the one that we reacted to?
Oh, my God, with that monster phallus.
That was a prosthetic.
I know this because I Googled it.
Yes, yes, yes, 365 days.
Yeah, totally.
Well, it sounds like you just need a what?
They just want, I don't know, documentaries or something.
Yeah, maybe.
But that's all about humping as well. The lines are humping. Well it sounds like You just need to They just want I don't know Documentaries or something Yeah maybe
But that's all about
Humping as well
The lives are humping
The same generation
That is like
Oh no one was murdered
In this podcast
They won't listen
Yes it is
They want more murder
Less sex
They want more murder
I'm worried about them
I'm concerned about
Their futures
Worried about
Where they're heading
Where are they heading
Yeah
Goodness me
Next on the show
There is a question online That I want us all to answer.
You wear one of two things.
Is it which friend's character you are?
We can also answer that.
Is that okay?
Ross.
There's a question online that people are pouring to this tweet or X.
What do you call it now?
What is the actual thing?
X.
Like X is the website, but you went to Twitter and you would read tweets.
You go to X and you read.
I don't know.
This whole Elon Musk X thing is just going down in a flaming pile of.
What do they want him to rename it as?
It's naughty.
Silly.
No, didn't he often offer Wikipedia
a billion dollars to change the name to Dickipedia?
But that's insane.
He's a man child.
It's embarrassing.
The question online is,
are you a bedroom person or a living room person?
A lounge person?
You're one of these things.
You spend all your time in one of these places.
I mean, aside from sleeping.
Aside from sleeping. Aside from the
sleep hours. Yes.
Okay. Lounge.
Yeah, I'd be lounge. But then,
before I, because I live on my own
now, and so,
when I didn't, when I lived in a flat
and I had like, you know, five flatmates,
I was a room person. Yeah, because that's your only, because there are all these factors, right? And in a flat and I had like, you know, five flatmates, I was a room person.
Yeah, because that's your only, because all these factors, right?
And people are coming in to be like, here's some things to take into consideration.
Some of them are just situational.
Like, yes, you live with five other people.
Your only chance of privacy is a bedroom.
So you hang out in your bedroom, eat in your bedroom, sleep in your bedroom.
You're a bedroom person.
But then in saying that, people that flat,
some people just love living in the lounge.
I have been told I dominate the space I'm in.
Yeah, right.
When I was in the flat, I used the lounge all the time.
And I remember Shade saying, you kind of get in there and you take over,
and you make it your space.
I was like, well, yes.
Well, you're alpha daddy, though.
My alpha is not your problem.
This house is mine.
Part and problem of being alpha male.
Yeah.
But that's what I did. I just made the lounge my own. Yeah alpha mood. This house is mine. Part and problem of being alpha male. But that's what I did.
I just made the lounge my own.
Yeah, right. And then
yeah, Shaddaa was like, you dominated whatever space
you were in. So now I'm seeing that, yeah, I just kind
of did that and now I'm a living room
person and again I dominated. I just pulled a
beanbag, the
the meelo. The meelo.
The meelo we were gifted. Right in front of the
television and I plopped down in that and I just sit right in front of it.
Yeah.
That's me.
Hog the TV, hog the space.
Yeah, I just dominate the space.
But then some people love lying in bed watching a movie.
Well, there's other psychological sides to it.
Someone commented saying living room people are people who don't hate their families
or who grew up with happy families.
Because if you were a kid that lived in a sort of, you know,
divorcing household or...
Shut yourself in the room.
You'd just go to your room.
But if you were a happy family that liked hanging out together,
you'd be a lounge family.
Also, because I was a lounge kid but a room teenager.
Yeah, right.
And now I'm a lounge adult.
What were you doing in your room?
Just absolutely fiddling with myself
And probably witchcraft at the same time
Do you know what I mean?
Well you are
To be honest
You asked
What were you doing in your room as a teenager?
I thought you were going to say homework
I shared a room with my brother
So like
Oh right
A there was no witchcraft at all
In the room
But like that just made it not a place where you'd just go and hang.
Have a privacy.
Yeah, you might as well just be in the lounge and hit the bigger TV.
We had a tiny little 14-inch black and white.
It seemed like the shower was always clogged.
Oh, I know.
Gosh.
We had to get a thicker drain.
Jesus Christ.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is Queen Victoria wore crotchless undergarments.
Yuck.
Vaughan, how could you?
To the Queen herself.
It's the RIP.
No, Queen Victoria.
Yeah.
Very much RIP.
Yeah, she's not alive.
She's dead.
Ages ago RIP.
Queen Victoria was a pompous old cow as well.
I mean, I was.
You speak out of the dead.
Do they have feet in the room?
I'm sorry. We were so Victorian in here. No, I wasn't. You speak out of the dead. Wow, did I offend the room? I'm sorry.
I didn't realise we were so Victorian in here.
No, I haven't seen that episode.
I'm from Hamilton and our main street's named after it.
Wow.
I'm a little bit offended by this one.
Now, what's the episode of the crown?
She was a what?
Pompous old cow.
Was she?
Was she mean?
Yeah.
I know a lot about her.
She was very stern and very posh.
Oh, right.
So, the idea of her in-
Which episode of the crown is that, though?
Being in God, She was very old
The prequel
Okay
There actually was like
A series about her
Wasn't there?
There's probably been
Multiple series of movies
There's been lots
Who played her?
Bloody
Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren
That was just a guess
That was a guess
And you nailed it
It's always
Maggie Smith
Helen Mirren
Or Judi Dench
Yeah
If you're after an old
Old white English bird,
it'll be one of those three.
So this is actually really interesting.
And the final fact for lingerie week is that...
Sorry, it was Judi Dench.
It was Judi Dench.
She, Queen Victoria, wore so many garments.
Like there was girdles, there were knickerbockers, there was everything.
Everything was going on.
A dress, dress, a dress, a petticoat dress, eight layers of dress.
That literally, to go to the bathroom, was a nightmare.
I bet.
I'd imagine that would end up being quite hot and humid down there too.
A thrush galore.
So, well, she avoided it by having undergarments
that had no bottom in them.
Right.
What's the point of them, I guess?
Why didn't she just wear none?
Well, she was kind of wearing...
Well, it was part of her...
Because there's a picture of them and...
Oh, I don't want to see that.
You don't want to see them?
Do you see her fanny?
No, no, no.
It's just an illustration of her.
Oh, okay.
So they're bloomers.
Yeah, they're bloomers as well.
With the original hole there.
So it was just what was worn.
Yeah.
When you wore so many garments over the top
that you could just walk behind a bush.
I mean, she wouldn't have,
but your everyday commoner might have. Walk behind a bush I mean she wouldn't have but your everyday
yeah
commoner might have
walk behind a bush
legs apart
hike the skirt up a little bit
flip up the skirt
and go
I long for the day
when we've got a
a queen that wears
some Lululemon active wear
some kind of
casual
it'll be Kate
it'll be Kate
it'll be Kate
she won't wear it
at formal functions
but she'll wear them too
underneath
like a Lululemon tight
yeah yeah totally she'll totally wear them too. Underneath, like a Lululemon tight.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
She'll totally wear them.
Or a Subi jean.
And, oh, I had something else, but now you've distracted me with Kate and her Lululemons.
I'm sorry.
Us historians like to have a calming cigarette while we're trying to remember what we're doing. Do you know know what you try and remember? I love that Queen Victoria always wore a veil.
Like almost a wedding veil.
She always in all of her formal portraits
had a veil. Queen Vic.
That's her man. Is it?
She's a busty old lass.
Interesting profile for a coin.
Yeah we had a statue of her in Wellington.
Yeah.
We could say that about King Philip as well.
King. What's his name?
Charles.
Charles III.
So I'll just wrap it up there then, I think.
I can't remember what else I was going to tell you about.
You're doing really well this week.
So your fact of the day is that Queen Victoria wore crotchless panties.
Yes.
That's the original.
She was the original.
They've evolved since.
There was a long, arduous story about the evolution,
but it was practicality for a very long time.
That's what I was going to say.
Brides at weddings,
going to the toilet
is a mission.
Yeah.
I was told
when I was,
the first time I was a bride,
I was with a bride
in quite a poofy
traditional gown
and she was told
to straddle it
like a front fort,
like put her legs around
and ride the toilet
and then you'd lift up
the front was easier
than lifting up the back and bunching it.
That's great advice.
But no undies or undies with this taken out of it would be significantly easier.
On my wedding day, I will be wearing the largest, tightest undies I've ever seen.
Holding it all in.
Holding it all in.
As long as it goes with Vaughn and I's casual linen outfits.
All linen.
We're still working out the guest list.
All linen.
Still just working out the guest list.
Because every time you get drunk, you invite us.
Yeah, I know.
And then I sober up and I just remember that no one's invited.
Yeah.
It's quite...
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, today's fact of the day is Queen Victoria...
You're invited if you wear crotchless panties and nothing else.
Queen Victoria wore crotchless underpants.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah.
Let's talk about what happened yesterday.
We went out for a brunchy-wunchy before the game
because we had empty tum-tums and we wanted to do a big workout.
Now, we're not talking about the gym again today, Vaughan.
Don't you worry.
Good workout though, eh, Hon?
Yeah, we did real good.
So you went straight from brunch to the gym?
Yeah.
You're not like a little fool?
Yeah, I was.
His digestive system's so slick. You're not like a little fool? Yeah, I was. He's better.
His digestive system's so slick.
Mine, it like takes ages.
So I had to do a massive workout with a chock full of eggs.
Hayley did it once.
I think my eggs might come up.
Scrambled?
Yes, scrambled, yeah.
Scrambled?
Yeah, scrambled.
So we had these beautiful, beautiful brekkie coffees.
Yeah.
Then we went to go pay and we were walking out
and Fletch just walked out the door and off he went.
Not paying.
And I had to holler back and say, oi.
I don't know what happened because I was just completely in la-la land.
My instinct first was like, does this bitch think I'm paying?
Oh, right.
You're picking up the tab.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? Absolutely
not. But then you straight up forgot
which then led me to think, if I
wasn't here and you'd just popped out,
you would have just left and they were so busy.
It would have just not paid. When do you reckon you would
You'd go back though. I feel like you'd go back.
100% I would if I'd
No, but you wouldn't notice. I think you were just ready to
go. You were out. There would have been a time later
in the day where I was like, that was so nice at breakfast
and I would have been like, I didn't pay.
And I would have gone back and been like,
hey, did I pay? Because you know
some places you pay at the start. You go
to a place and you pay and then you eat
and then you just leave. Yeah. And then
other places you pay at the end and you just
end up getting confused. I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pay when you order
or pay at the end
or we're doing this.
I remember when,
like,
because we didn't go out
for dinner a lot as kids.
Yeah.
Like when we were living at home,
we just very rarely
went out for dinner.
Yeah.
And when we did,
we'd go with the family
and it was always like
someone snuck off and paid.
So paying was always like,
so I never really knew
how it worked.
And then my first experience
with like restaurants
when I left home
was fast food restaurants
where you pay when you order and then you get the food yeah i remember when i started
going to restaurants i'd be like i'd say to people at this place when do we pay yes yeah because
sometimes it's not clear when you're sitting there and then no one comes over you're like do we go up
to the bar and order like what happens if i wave someone down they're gonna be like we don't do
table seats yeah and they come over and you order and you've got your credit card out or a card out.
And they're like, oh, no, no.
Just pay at the end.
What do I pay at the end?
Do you know what's even worse?
I look like a little country bumpkin.
When do you want my money?
You want my money now?
I'm happy to pay.
I'm happy to pay.
I ain't a bad man.
This guy tries to walk away without paying at all.
Then he comes back to pay.
I said, let's just split it.
And then as we left, he goes, well, yours was actually $2 more expensive.
My coffee was $2 more expensive.
You know when we go for a Friday
lackeys, we're not doing it today.
We're a bit busy. But you
guys are always like, let's split it. And I
worked out the other day, you're only happy to split it because
no, you don't get a coffee, so you're
cheaper. But he gets the most expensive thing
and a coffee. Wait, is our dish
that we get more expensive than yours? Your lackeys are more expensive
than my deli hash. So you've been
subsidising. Oh wow, you've been chipping in.
I act like you didn't know this. I honestly
didn't know. Because I don't get a coffee, but I'm always happy
to go thirds. No, you're always like, go thirds, and I'm always
like, but you didn't get a coffee, and I feel like you should. Or sometimes I get an orange juice,
or sometimes I might get a breakfast martini. We're closer,
and then old salmon over here.
Oh wow. Anyway, I want to
know, because I've done this. Anyway, I want to know,
because I've done this as well.
I've left a pub and I've walked down the road and I've been chased by the pub owners being like,
excuse me, are you going to pay?
And then you're like, oh my God,
I literally made a mistake.
And then they don't believe you.
I want to know if you've accidentally done a dine and dash.
How far did you get?
Did you go back and pay?
Do you think anyone gets in trouble?
Like what?
That would technically be... But if you went and did a dine and dash, if you were doing a conscious go back and pay? Do you think anyone gets in trouble? That would technically be...
But if you went and did a dine and dash,
if you were doing a conscious dine and dash, we're not gonna pay,
let's go, let's do a runner, then they
got you, you'd pretend like it was a mistake, wouldn't you?
So how do you know? I wanna know if you've done
an accidental dine and dash.
Surely this happens all the time.
It would happen in a situation where you're out
at a business one,
and so you're like, well, management's going to pay.
I've done that.
And then you've got different tiers.
You're like, who's taking care of this?
Oh, we've been out with multiple big groups of friends
and lots of them have done a dine and dash, haven't they?
And we've been the last to pay.
Yes.
And you're like, sorry, how much remaining?
Yeah, that's right.
There was that time and there was $100 left.
$400.
$400 a new plumber.
It was insane.
Anyway.
So, yeah, have you accidentally done a Diner Dash?
Points if days or weeks later you realise that you didn't pay.
You never paid and you went back.
Maybe you're going through your accounts and you're like,
where does that bloody bill go?
Because I've had that the next day with a friend overseas.
And the next day there was no money off my credit card for a bar
and there was still roughly about the same amount of cash in my wallet and i was like and you're hung over and you're
like well i've been drinking yes and i'm like i did i have not paid for it it's gonna be interesting
if you ran a restaurant how much you'd have to account for for the accidental leaving accidentally
you'd have to budget into that right hell yeah you yeah, you would. You'd say so, yeah. And I mean, at the moment, everyone in the hospital is doing it so tough.
That would absolutely hurt you.
Yesterday, I nearly accidentally dine and dashed.
Lucky Hayley called me out.
Otherwise, I would have just completely walked off.
So many people doing this.
I know.
And a lot of it is in the group situation
where you think one friend's paying
or they say they're going to pay
and then everyone just leaves.
Plus you've had a couple of wines, a couple of rosés,
and you're off into the night.
Where do we start?
Lou, when did you accidentally dine and dash?
Hi.
Long time Lister.
First time for us.
Get the bell.
Welcome.
Welcome to the show, Lou.
Thank you so much.
That was a few years ago, and me and one of my girlfriends were out,
and it was a weeknight, so we didn't get too hammered,
but we're drinking, we're eating, the bar was pretty quiet,
so we had a great night.
And then I'm on the way home, and I'm like, oh, my gosh, we didn't pay.
And no one said anything to us as we left.
So I called them up, and I'm like, guys,
it was just down the road from my office.
I'm like, so sorry, I didn't pay.
I'm already too far gone on my way home,
but I'll come tomorrow and pay.
And then I got the third degree.
Like, what's your name?
I was like, what's my name?
They're like, what's your address and phone number?
I'm like, hi.
And they said, because you left without paying. I'm like, but I called you.
I'm going to pay tomorrow. I don't, but I called you. I'm going to come pay tomorrow.
I don't get to now tell you where I live.
No.
I'm like, guys, and they're like, what time are you going to come?
I was like, between 12 and 1. And they're like,
okay, we hope to see you
tomorrow. It's like, come on.
Did you go and pay though?
I did. I would love if Lou
was like, and then I didn't go back.
They gave me the act.
They gave me the act.
I didn't go back.
Lou, thank you.
Dan, you did an actual dine and dash with fuel.
Yeah, that was a while back.
This is back when like some fuel stations,
this is a while back when they like,
you can pay and then fuel up.
And in this situation, I had forgotten,
like I fueled up and I thought I had paid drove off yep yeah and then um about i don't know like 10 minutes later the
whole crap and i went back and by that point the police were there yeah yeah and they get your
number plate what on the cameras yeah yeah i've done this once before when i was in a rental van
and we'd gone too far and we were like, oh,
so we had to call. But they were like, yeah, we've already got your plates.
I was like, okay, well,
here I am. It was a mistake.
Don't get your panties
in a bunch. Dan thinks
you called some messages in.
We did a dine and dash at a restaurant
accidentally once. Got home, called the restaurant
to pay over the phone and then I went to
get my credit card out to give them the details and then they started laughing and it turns out I'd left my bag over the back of home, called the restaurant to pay over the phone, and then I went to get my credit card out to give them the details,
and then they started laughing, and it turns out I'd left my bag
over the back of the chair at the restaurant anyway.
We've got something of yours.
Like a lot of them now will take your card and put it in one of those little folders,
for a tag.
So if you leave, they're like, well, we're still getting paid.
I always take offence to that because I've been sitting at the table next to us,
they didn't do it because they were older people.
Oh, so they think because you're a young larrikin.
I'm just a young larrikin.
You look very untrustworthy, though.
Oh, I'm very untrustworthy.
You look like a dodgy guy.
Very friendly.
Very friendly face.
Everyone's always telling me, boy, that's a friendly face.
I'd like to spill some secrets, too.
If the first round is Jim Beam and Colwood,
they take your credit card.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I get a bit of a coke?
Yes, you can. Can we have a card, please? And, yeah, yeah. Can I get a bourbon and coke? Yes, you can.
Can we have a card, please?
And hold the coke.
You guys go a little heavy on the coke.
We'll talk more about the bourbon.
When Hayley and I go to the regular place,
we order a bottle of Prosecco.
They don't even ask.
They don't even ask, darling.
They know I'll find a taste.
Somebody did make a really good point about going in and paying for your gas
and then coming out.
Yeah.
Petrol stations weren't chasing you down the road when you paid for your gas and accidentally
drove away without it.
No, they weren't.
Were they?
Yeah.
Wait, wait.
We're talking about when you've accidentally dine and dashed.
Yeah, like Fletch did yesterday.
I nearly did this yesterday.
Oh, well, I would have covered it, but you came back.
I would have been paying you back.
Kim, what happened?
Hi, guys.
So I had a friend who lives in South Africa.
Yeah.
He was shopping and a conurbore store was a supermarket
and she just walked out of the store with her trolley full of groceries.
Wait.
In South Africa, you're really risking a bullet in the bum for that activity.
You just can't walk out of a supermarket and forget to pay.
The point of exit at a supermarket is a checkout.
She was getting married in two weeks' time,
so I think it was the wedding day.
But she got arrested and spent the night in jail.
Oh, my God.
Was it a genuine mistake?
It was a court case.
No, she had to do assessments and all sorts of things to prove that she was actually not mental or...
We're going to need you to go to court.
What for?
Make sure you're not mental.
That's what I go to court for one day.
Mrs. Smith, you know the charges you're here on?
Not really
Well you're just going to prove
You're not mental
Well good luck to you
Good luck to you all
And so what she had to pay
A lawyer would be earning
His hourly rate
She had to pay it back
I actually can't remember
What happened
But yeah eventually
I mean this is South Africa
So the case got
Got chucked out of the
System Right And she genuinely chucked out of the system.
Yeah, right.
And she genuinely walked out of that supermarket.
Genuinely, genuinely.
She is such an awesome, amazing person.
Something that she would never have done.
She just had the wedding jitters, I guess,
and she just walked out and they stopped her in a reason.
Kim, the big question,
who are you supporting in the Rugby World Cup final
this weekend, South Africa or New Zealand?
Or is it win-win for you?
I'm going all black.
Yes!
Guys are the best country ever.
It's Kim from Moody Y.
I took the photo of your asses.
I saw you guys last Saturday.
Oh, hi, Kim from Moody Y.
How are you?
Yeah, the live show.
Did you see that photo of my ass?
Because I was actually hoping to grab it.
If you could just pop it through the producers,
that would be amazing.
I'm too close to do that.
Speaking of that ass,
earlier, and this is a reminder
that what happens in the studio
isn't acceptable in other parts of the building.
Oh, my God.
Hayley was leaving the studio
and I was up on my chair
and she gave my ass a big smack.
And then I was like, I'm going to get her
and then I need to go to the bathroom.
Hayley is bent over the reception desk grabbing something from the other side.
Check to the security guard.
Check to the security guard and the cleaner
and I just walk up and I just give her this crack and spit on that.
He smokes that cake.
And the security guard's like, he jumps to action.
Not in the workplace, sir.
Not in the workplace.
And then the cleaner who very rarely speaks, I always say,
I told her she smelled nice once.
Oh, that's a weird thing.
She stopped talking to me.
She was like, oh, my God.
As the clap of my hand on Sprouse, might I say, firm.
Thank you.
Firm are a famous dumper.
It's a famous dumper.
It's a famous dumper.
Through the foyer of the building.
All right, let's end the show there.
End the week there, shall we?
We'll catch you tomorrow morning with our bottomless brunch. Go the ABs.
Go the ABs, yes.
And also, I'm just going to keep up in the whas, man.
Let's not forget.
Yeah, I've got the whas.
Just heard Josh Curran's not playing coming back next season.
You'll be gutted about that, but we've got Evan's tremendous season.
Is he one of the hot ones?
Josh Curran was.
Long hair, moustache.
Sure.
Aussie boy, wore the Aboriginal headgear.
Hell of a unit.
Up everyone.
See ya, see ya later.
Actually, I'm going to have to stop you there.
That's copyrighted.
Suzy Cato's a very good friend of mine.
She's already sued me twice.
So if you could maybe get her to drop her litigious action,
that would be great.
Tell her I'll review her five stars
if she does the same for this podcast.
And then she tells all her friends. And if you're listening,'ll review her five stars. Yeah. If she does the same for this podcast. Yeah.
And then she tells all her friends.
And if you're listening, maybe give it five stars as well.
