For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions.
Heroin creates its own market.
It acts like a form of play.
Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down.
Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head,
and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her.
This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

Today's two options are going to be hard to decide from,
to be honest, because they're both very good.
It's on my bucket list.
I know.
I was talking to the Hong Kong team yesterday, actually,
about the fact that you haven't been.
You were talking to the Hong Kong?

Bourne, you've got the top six soon.
Yes, sir. Disappointing. Oh, darling. Yes. Bourne, you've got the top six soon. Yes, sir.
Disappointingly.
Oh, darling.
Yes, darling.
Your mic's off on.
Why do you do that to yourself?
I don't remember turning it off.
I moved it.
I put it on my bag that my headphones go in.
I do that too.
So I can slide it around and it doesn't squink on the desk.
It doesn't make a noise.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the noise of it.
No bag.
Oh, that's awful.
This is the noise of it.
How many years have you been doing radio? I don't know. Very professional. It feels like forever sometimes. Yeah. That's the noise of it. No bag. How many years have you been doing radio?
Very professional. It feels like forever sometimes.
Yeah.
I actually think I'm closer to the end
of working on radio than I am the start now.
Well, yeah, that's life.
You probably wouldn't do another 25 years.
No, I don't think so.
No.
Mind you, that mortgage has got 30 years to go.
Anyway, disappointingly, Mind you, that mortgage was got 30 years ago Anyway Disappointingly
We're in for a whole lot more job cuts
For Health New Zealand
Really?
Yeah
A lot of them, I looked up
A lot of them coming from the IT section
Oh, okay
Of our health department
Well, that's not good
Because we might have a breach
Well, you'll remember that the
Waikato DHB
was hacked. And they were ransomed,
weren't they? Yeah, they were ransomed. God, I can't have
that information out. The very
gatekeepers. The things I talk to my doctor
about. I know. The things you've gone to A&E
for. Oh my gosh. The list
is extensive. Always use a safety string.
Oh, always use a safety string.
Stuff gets stuck, is all we'll say.
You've just got to be sensible.
I've got the top six things that the hackers will get from the public health system.
Yeah, now that they're getting rid of all these IT people.
Exactly.
The gatekeepers will be gone.
And the hackers will be hacking.
All right, top six.
So next on the show.
A Netflix star has landed herself in a lot of trouble,
and I think she thought she could get away with it.
Because she's hot.
Because she's hot.
This has got hot person privilege all over it.
Yeah, hot privilege written all over it.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley, the show.
Thanks to McCaffey.
Ron?
Great things are brewing.
What?
Sounded like you said Fletch, Ron, and Hayley.
I'm like, that's one third of the Harry Potter.
Am I Ron Weasley? Excuse me, Fletch,letch, Ron and Hayley. I'm like, that's one third of the Harry Potter. Am I Ron Weasley?
Excuse me, Fletch, Ron and Hayley.
I consider myself more the Harry Potter of the show.
Thanks to McCafe.
Great things are brewing on the go.
Just let me take care of the sponsor responsibilities, please, Ron.
He's Harry.
Before interrupting.
I'm Harry.
No, he's Harry.
You're Ron.
I'm not Ron.
We all agree I'm Hermione.
You have to be Hermione.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you've got a fanny and boobs because you've got a fanny and boobs.
I've got a fanny and boobs.
You're a Hermione cat.
I'm not Ron.
I'm Harry.
I've got glasses.
You're a lovable mess.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm Ron.
Okay.
You're Hagrid.
One of the finest characters.
That's a big insult.
He's an absolute legend.
R.I.P.
R.I.P.
Robbie Coltrane.
R.I.P.
He's a great actor.
Yeah. Well, not anymore.I.P. R.I.P. Robbie Coltrane. R.I.P. He's a great actor. Yeah, well, not anymore.
No.
Sorry, that's such a terrible thing to say.
Now, Olga Bidnaska.
That's a Polish name.
Bidnaska.
Okay, she's also a Harry Potter character.
Yeah, it sounds like it, eh?
She was part of the cast of Too Hot to Handle.
That's a Netflix dating show in which,
and I watched the first season that I tapped out.
Was she in the first season?
No.
It's a show where they go to an island
under the pretense that it's like a hot person
on an island dating show.
Yep.
And then they are informed that there is a pool of money
that the winners, that the people that last to the end
will win, but they lose money every time
they do a sexual act. So a certain
amount of money for kissing, a certain amount
more for foreplay,
and a certain amount more for the whole
shebang. How much is foreplay?
It was like 10 grand
or something. My foreplay's been valued at 10 grand.
Congrats.
Yeah. Wow. The actual
lovemaking, what's that worth?
Well that was more like
20 grand or something
I could never charge that much
Right
Shannon you've seen
All of the seasons
Of course I have
I love them
How much is lovemaking?
So kissing is 6 grand
Lovemaking is 20
And then fondling is around the 10
Yeah that's right
Fondling
Fondling is more than that
But how much of this happens
when the contestants know
that they're filmed from all angles at
24-7. And they're going to lose the money.
Yeah, but also after
season one, people realise the people
who break the rules get more screen
time, therefore become bigger influencers.
So the most famous people out of every
season break the most rules, like
Olga. Yeah.
Right.
So, yeah.
But they also set up the whole thing to be like the hottest people, the steamiest games.
Like they get them all randy and then they're like, okay, bye, don't touch each other or you'll lose money.
And then they wake up in the morning and they're like, the pool has been reduced by $50,000.
It was like, who did it?
What did you do?
Anyway, it's fantastic.
Now,
Olga was in this,
was on this show.
She is incredibly beautiful.
And just for reference,
I don't know,
I'll just aim it at Vaughan.
I'll just show Vaughan.
Oh yeah,
wow,
okay.
Just a very beautiful Polish woman.
I mean,
they're not putting
mangas on this TV show,
are they?
No,
no,
no,
no,
because otherwise it's too easy.
I don't want to touch you.
I don't want to lose any money.
She was arrested in October after flying to Thailand under the pretense.
She sort of was, I don't know.
She's kind of told a story that she was told to go to Thailand,
buy some fake designer goods and bring them back.
She was going to get paid 18,000 pounds, 35-ish thousand dollars to do this.
And she went there to Thailand
and when she came back through
Manchester airport she was pulled over
and she had two suitcases and she was asked
did you pack your own bags and everything? She said yes of course I did.
Yeah.
At which point they went to search the bags
and she didn't know the code and she had to admit
that she had been handed the bags at the airport and she didn't
know what was in them. And they said well that's very suspicious and she was like okay I might. And she had to admit that she'd been handed the bag to the airport and she didn't know what was in them.
And they said, well, that's very suspicious.
And she was like, okay, I might be in a bit of trouble here. On the way back from Thailand.
Yeah, at Manchester Airport.
Okay, some giant red flags here, Olga.
So obviously they cut into the bags.
Now, you think that, you know,
she's agreed to take designer goods.
We're thinking there's some Gucky handbags,
some Dolce and Robanas.
Louis Vuitton.
Yeah, Louis Vuittons.
No, there is 40 kgs of marijuana.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah, 40 kgs of marijuana to the street value of $338,000 New Zealand dollars.
We're going to be crying our hands.
And she's saying I had...
I'm confused.
She's taking...
Weed's the weirdest one to take internationally
because surely Britain can grow weed.
Yeah, and like, why would you risk...
If you're going to run drugs,
why not take an expensive drug?
I mean, I'm not encouraging...
You can...
I know what you mean.
But you know what I mean?
If I'm going to risk it,
I want to make the most bang for my buck.
Weed's one of the cheapest drugs.
One briefcase of heroin is surely worth a giant bag of weed.
Yeah.
Well, it was 40 kgs of cannabis in vacuum sealed packages,
concealed by clothes inside the suitcase.
And she swears she has no idea about this.
She then was asked, like, who paid for her flights and everything?
And she was like like it was my friend
this person called Tex
they wanted her to bring back designer
clothing and watches and that's what I thought
was in the suitcase. Oh
hon. I know so then
this is something that like a 60 year old
or 70 year old you know
does. I know. You know you read these stories all the
time there was that Australian woman
who recently did this she was like 60 or 70. From South America? Yeah, and she went to
South America thinking she was, oh, it was so sad. And that's so sad. There was a
customs one where they target older women travelling by themselves
because they're the ones that people trick into taking drugs
internationally. Yeah. So she was originally given
20 months prison. Yeah.
And suspended for two years in order
to complete 15 days of rehab.
But then the judge,
basically, the reason it's back in the news now
because this was in October, is that
the judge has gone, I'm not going to send you to prison
because you're going to be
released from custody. You're hot
and I need to keep an eye on you so you're going to
be living in my house. Your prison will be in my house.
Are you telling me that a hot person's got
away with something else?
A hot white person.
So he said
he's looked her up and everything
and said over the last few years you've found yourself
in extreme financial difficulties living far
beyond your means and this is the influencer thing.
She's come off this Netflix series thinking
I've got to keep up with this influencer life,
but wasn't making influencer money.
And so kind of took this terrible job
as a way to get some money.
And he was like,
I think you've just made a huge mistake here.
Because she lost.
She dumb, right?
And you're acting under the direction of other people
and you've got a great rack.
I think is what the judge said.
Okay, right.
She hasn't posted on Instagram for 38 weeks.
Now, I'm on her Instagram for investigation purposes.
Of course.
She's probably been in Remandvorn without any...
Well, that's what I was wondering.
When was the...
October.
So that would be about right, yeah.
October is when she was caught.
October is when she was caught at the border.
She last posted on March 1st,
and she looks to be in a tropical locale.
And that looks like Bali to me.
Yeah, that's got a big...
I don't know why.
I thought that looked like Bali over Thailand.
I'm not sure why.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
Look, if somebody offers you to bring a suitcase,
don't.
Well, and if they do...
Didn't it look like one of those tricolor plastic wovens?
I think they were inside the suitcase, yeah. Yeah, those great bags. Didn't it look like one of those tricolour plastic wovens?
I think they were inside the suitcase, yeah.
Yeah, those great bags.
But if you do accept taking a bag that you don't know the contents of
to import into a country, make sure you're hot.
I think that's the moral of the story.
Again, hot people get away with everything.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.
Okay, Wicked.
It's actually unbelievable I still haven't seen
this, even though Wicked is by far
is so
far from being my favourite musical. But I'm a musical
theatre lover. I did a little bit of Wicked
research yesterday. Did you? In my own time.
That I would like to bring to the show now.
Please do. What did you... Second highest
earning musical of all time.
Yep. Yep, it's so popular.
Can't tell you what the number one is.
I assume it's Phantom.
Or Les Mis.
Ah, and that, you know, have you heard this holding space?
Holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity?
Yeah.
Have you heard this?
Yeah.
Do you know the origins of this meme?
So there was an interviewer who said to Cynthia Invero,
are you aware of the fact that people are holding space
for the lyrics of Defying Gravity,
which is the big song?
And the best part is no one knows,
no one knew what it meant.
The woman that said it didn't know what it meant.
The actresses certainly didn't know what it meant,
but they know that it must mean something very special.
So everyone's like, oh.
And then Ariana Grande reaches across
and holds Cynthia's finger like this.
The whole thing is so deep.
Oh my God, I wasn't aware that that was happening.
Oh my God.
And then the woman's like, what have I done?
So she tries to backpedal and she's like,
well, I've seen it a couple of times.
I do work in queer media.
The whole thing is just like, what's just happened?
Because that's what I've seen people talking about holding space
for like, I'm really holding
space for my mum's cranberry sauce
for Thanksgiving.
Or people calling into work to being like,
I'm so sorry I can't come in today. I'm currently holding space
for the lyrics of Defying Gravity.
Sorry, Ross Boss. I won't be in on Friday.
Nobody knows what it means, but it sounds so intense.
No one knows, but I'm holding space for the lyrics.
Anyway, so this huge movie, I haven't seen it yet. I'm holding space for the lyrics. Anyway, so, I mean, this huge movie,
I haven't seen it yet.
I'm holding space
for other things in my life.
Yeah.
And I shall see it very soon.
I'm excited.
But there was this huge rumour
that started
that Ariana Grande
got paid 15 million US dollars
for her role as Glinda
and Cynthia Invera, Erivo, and Cynthia Invera,
Erivo, sorry, Invera, Erivo,
got paid $1 million for her role as Elphaba.
And they're very much equal roles.
But Ariana Grande, she's a superstar.
No offence to Cynthia.
I hadn't heard of her until this role.
But she is massive.
I mean, she's been in heaps of movies,
but she's been massive in musical theatre.
But that's just what happens. The big Hollywood stars
are the ones that get people to the movie.
Totally. So everyone was like
this is unbelievable. Doesn't help that
Cynthia is black and queer
and everyone was going like this is what it is
and getting hot on that thing.
Anyway, in a very
rare statement, Universal came out. They would
never usually do this but they were like
don't say we're racist
or we're queerphobic.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
They made a statement saying like,
this is internet fodder.
They were paid,
both actresses,
both lead actresses
were paid exactly the same amount
for their roles.
They won't say how much
and it's kind of none of our business,
I guess.
Yeah.
They won't say how much,
but they were like,
to the dollar,
were paid exactly the same.
Wow, okay.
So they just came in, they were like, shut it, shut we're paid exactly the same. Wow, okay. So they just came and they were like, shut it.
Shut it down.
Almost like they saw this coming.
Almost like they went, this is 100% what people are going to talk about.
Play.
ZM.
Fletchvorn and Hayley.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the top six.
Jobs.
You've got to have them to pay the bills.
That's right.
Unfortunately, Health New Zealand
are losing some
IT staff.
A large number of IT staff, somebody posted
on Reddit that an email went out this morning to a large
number of IT staff at Health New Zealand
telling them their position could be
significantly affected by the reorganisation
disestablishment and combination
of roles. So there's going to be
a cut to the people who look after
our... Did they say 1,500?
Was that the number? 1,500 total
jobs to go and
it's estimated that somewhere
in the 500 to 600s is going to be
IT. Well that's not good for our bookings and
our information. No. It's a good for our bookings and our information.
No.
It's a bit worrying, isn't it? Not great.
No.
And I think just something happened in the last five years
that showed how crucial our health system is.
And I can't put my finger on it.
Anyway, I'm sure that'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever happen again.
So that's fine.
But that's bad.
I don't like that particularly.
I never really thought about that significant side of the health system
until there was the breach of the Waikato DHB recently,
and they had records.
What happened at the end of that?
Because it was ransomed, right?
What is this, a movie?
Did we pay them?
I don't know.
Did we pay?
That's what I meant.
Did we pay them?
Surely.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
No.
Yeah, we should have just sent them an elite strike force.
Who are they?
Well, we can't tell you because they're an elite secret strike force.
But let's just say one might be Fletch.
I knew it.
I knew he didn't have all this time on his hands for nothing.
I've got night vision goggles.
Wow.
When he's like, I'm busy this afternoon,
he's on a quick trip to Papua New Guinea to rescue some hostages.
I'm doing that stuff all the time.
Oh, my God.
I just had no idea.
What an incredible man.
Well, the top six things hackers will get from the public health system with IT
are losing so many employees.
Number six on the list, how big your wang is.
I didn't know that they kept a record of that on your health.
Surely they don't measure it.
Because when I log into my health record to see what my latest...
Well, you've got to add it.
Oh, do you know, today's my sixth month so I can get another COVID vaccine.
Are we still doing that?
Are we still doing that?
100%, I'm getting all of them.
Okay.
I can do that today.
I'm a week away, a week or two away. Will you go to Greens?
Will I go to Greens? Our local
pharmacy. No, I go to Ellen's.
Ellen's, sorry. Yes, Ellen's.
Yes, that's what I was thinking about. Of course.
That lovely lady. Number
five on the... Are you going to get it then?
Going to get your jab? Yeah, I will.
Today. Yeah, I'll go today.
Have a sore arm for a day.
You do have that secret mission to the Solomon Islands, though.
Yeah, but you know what?
I'm tough.
I get to do both.
He is tough.
I'll hold my gun in my backpack and my night vision goggles.
This is a whole new side of you.
You'd be the pussiest SAS.
You'd get the jab and then you'd be like, I actually can't.
I can't lift my arm.
It actually hurts a little bit more than I thought it would.
No, but I get it in my left one.
Yeah, but that's the one that holds the front of the gun. Your gun's
going to be droopy. I'll be fine. You'll have a droopy gun.
I'll go to throw one of my flash grenades
and I'll be like, oh! It'll be too close.
You'll be like, ah! And then boom.
And you'll come to work tomorrow with
sore eyes. Half a face. Yeah.
Number five on the list of the
top six things hackers will get from the public
health system, with so many
IT professionals losing their jobs, if you've
got any weird moles. Oh,
okay. Oh, yeah. I've had a mole map.
Yeah? Did they
put W on any for weird?
Nah. No weird
ones. Right. No weird moles.
Couple of warts, though, as you know.
Still in doubt with those.
Interesting. You've got the kit and everything.
Yeah. Number four on the list of the top No. Interesting. You've got the kit and everything. Yeah.
Number four on the list of the top six things the hackers will get from the public health system.
What you've got one bigger of than the other.
I'm talking boobs, balls, legs.
Feet.
Yeah.
Legs.
When you've got one that's... Because they're allowed to be a little bit different.
Kidneys.
But you don't want a huge discrepancy.
Yeah, yeah.
Because then they'll know.
Imagine having an ordinary sized hand in a child's hand.
I'd hold hands so it was cute.
I'd be like, this is cute.
My little hand feels really taken care of.
No, but it'd be annoying every time you go to buy things like gloves.
You'd have to buy two sets and then throw out the other.
I know, it's like people with significantly different-sized feet.
You'd be like, what a pain.
Yeah.
You need to find your perfect other. And do swipsies. Sw be like, what a pain. Yeah. You need to find your perfect other.
And do swipsies.
Swipsies, swipsies.
Number three on the list of the top six things
hackers will get from the public health system
when IT people in the public health system
lose their jobs.
How far up your tummy your pubes stop.
Do they make a note of that?
Or if they even stop.
They do make a note of that.
Do they?
Yeah, yeah.
When you get pap smears,
they'll be like cervix, cervical health, tick, good.
You know, da-da-da, STD check, tick, pubes.
To the belt line.
Yeah, lower navel.
Snail trail to the belly.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, great.
Just a brief description.
Do you consider the snail trail part of the pube family?
Yes.
No, I separate it into stomach and pubis.
You think body hair and pubic hair too?
Because I consider the armpits pubic hair because you get them at puberty.
No, the armpit hair's not pubes.
It's not pubes.
I think the armpit hair should be its own thing.
It's earned the right to be a pube.
No.
It's not pube-like.
No, the girls agree.
No, yeah, that's wrong.
Armpit hair is pubia.
No, it's not.
It's pubia.
No.
But the snail trail is...
Do you think the snail trail's pubes?
It's in the vicinity because you would maintain at the same time.
And where do you stop?
But it's a different sort of hair.
The snail trails are softer hair than the pube.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Actually, if we're going on softness,
the armpit hair is a lot softer than the pube.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it's not a pube.
Because it's not a pube.
It's just body hair.
The armpit hair.
Do you think it's more like a long eyebrow? It's more similar to's not a pube It's just body hair Their armpit hairs It's like more like
It's more similar
To a leg hair
Okay
Just the body hair then
Yeah
It's just a more dense
And long leg hair
I always just consider
The pube hair
Because it came
At the same time
As the pubes
I can't believe
You've been living your life
Thinking armpit hair
Is a pubes
And then body hair
Comes later in the game
That's quite disgusting
That's quite weird
I don't have pubes
In my armpits dude
I'm going to be embarrassed
About you guys
You guys are so shy No I don't think The snail trails pubes either You don't have pubes in my armpits, dude. You guys are so shy.
I don't think the snail trails pubes either.
You don't because it's softer.
But for me it's slightly different because it all is more connecting.
Yeah, it's like a pointy up.
Pointing, sort of gathering, tapering to a button.
Yeah.
Mine's a bit more subtle. It's there, but it's subtle.
Yeah. It'd be weird if there was nothing.
Oh, no, no, no.
There's plenty.
I've got plenty to show for.
Number two on the list of the top six things hackers...
You've got all that lasered.
Yeah, I know.
I need a bit of a top up, though.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I need a top up on my back.
Yeah.
I'm getting a little bit of a...
What have they got?
Maintenance top up at the moment.
We could all do the little pre-summer top up
You can't hit sun hit it
No, you've got to do it in winter
The pubes is okay
Unless you are going outside
with your pubis out
Don't get it done before summer
As many people do, to those that celebrate
Number two on the list
of the top six things
hackers will get
from the public health system.
How many drinks you have
versus how many
you tell your doctor you have.
Yeah, Hayley.
Yeah.
What?
100% I got pulled up on this
not so long ago, didn't I?
Yeah.
And they told you off
for the number you were lying about.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
I got told off for a lie.
Yeah.
And number one on the list
of the top six things
hackers will get
from the public health system
are with IT professionals
losing their jobs
in our public health system.
If your dad is really your dad.
Ooh.
Do you think the doctor knows
that even if you don't?
Yeah.
Wow.
Blood types and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I do know.
And the fact that some people
look nothing like their dads.
Yeah.
There's no doubt with you.
We all here look like our fathers.
Yes, 100%.
Yeah.
But you don't actually look anything like your mum, Fletch.
And I'm just saying.
Prove it.
Prove it.
She's your mum.
Prove she's your mum.
That is today's Top 6.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
So, yeah, last week we talked about,
or was it earlier this week?
I can't remember.
Time's a construct.
It's all merging into one.
Time is a societal construct.
Previously on FVHZM,
one, we were laughing out louder,
and two, we were talking about
Billboard's greatest pop stars of the 21st century.
They made a very comprehensive list from 100,
no, from 20 down to one.
And we talked about this because Hayley Bieber
was very upset that Justin Bieber got number eight
on this like amazing list of people,
considering he's been quite quiet for a few years.
So shut up.
Rihanna was third, which we were like, we agree.
And then the last, when we talked about this, the top two hadn't been announced. And so we were like, we agree. And then the last, when we talked about this,
the top two hadn't been announced.
And so we were like, who is it?
We were like, Taylor Swift is number one.
And then we were like, duh, Beyonce is number two.
Yeah.
It's finally come out.
I don't remember being sold on the fact that Beyonce was going to be two.
I definitely was, but I think.
Now he's all like.
I don't, I can't remember.
I was the one, remember, I was the one that said Beyonce. Yeah. Because you were all like, who could be? I was like, I can't remember. I was the one that said Beyonce.
You were all like,
I was like, Beyonce?
It's Beyonce as number one.
I guess it was just with the huge couple of years
that Taylor Swift has had.
Yes, but you've got to think about
from the year 2000 to now.
And Beyonce was Destiny's Child.
Yeah.
For the early, what?
When did they break up?
90s?
Oh, no, they started in the 90s.
They ended like early 2000s.
Early 2000s.
And then her solo career just was huge through the 2010s.
So they don't just look at things like record sales,
but that's very much part of it, record sales.
Her game-changing, some of her game changing
albums like in 2013.
The surprise release. Remember we were all just
at home and it just goes boop new album.
And we were like what?
Her doing those visual albums
that were crazy.
She's a business woman. She's done
a million things. And so
yes Taylor is probably the hottest pop star
in the world right now.
Yeah.
But Beyonce also did
a massive world tour.
Taylor Swift just was like,
I'm just going to do
a bigger one,
sorry.
I definitely like her
earlier stuff more than.
So do I.
I mean,
the country single was good.
That was different.
But otherwise,
I feel like the last
like 10 years,
it's just been like,
meh.
Yeah,
you're not a huge.
I'm not though.
It's been a bit more
like artsy. Yes. It has been super like, meh. Yeah, you're not a huge. I'm not, though. It's been a bit more, like, artsy.
Yes.
It has been super pop mainstream.
Banger-y.
Yeah.
Like, Crazy in Love, Halo, Naughty Girl.
That was my, like, oh, my God, I love it.
And this, obviously, single ladies.
She was doing a Taylor Swift and doing these massive sold-out tours.
Like, didn't she come here and do, like, four shows?
Yeah.
I mean, she just did another world
tour top of this
year, end of last year. Remember with her daughter?
Yeah. But it was all very, it was
about like
voguing and like the culture and all that
kind of stuff. She didn't really sing that much on the tour.
That was my thing. She did a lot of dancing, a lot of
holding the mic to the crowd.
My only criticism. That's lazy.
I'd do that on those high notes as well.
I can see ya.
Halo.
Yeah.
Anyway, so she's number one.
Taylor's number two.
Rihanna number three.
And Justin Bieber's number eight.
Boo hoo.
And yeah, sadly actually,
Vaughn, Lincoln Park did not make.
Yeah, no Lincoln Park there for you.
I know that you're really upset by that.
Unbelievable.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe. Silly Little Poe.
Silly Little Poe today singing along during a movie at the cinemas.
Now, this is off the back of Wicked.
Because most musical movies that come out, if they're not based on Broadway,
you don't know the songs until they're sort of on digital streaming and stuff.
Did you know any of the songs in Moana 2?
Nope. Because the BBC asked Dwayne The Rock Johnson
at the preview of Moana 2
what he thought of singing at the cinemas.
And he's like, all for it.
I know, but that's more of a child's film.
This is like, if you're into Wicked,
you're into Wicked.
And there's this one very famous note,
which is like,
and everyone's like waiting for it.
And then all like bellowing it at the same time.
You're like, no, but we want to,
the Cynthia's voice is the one that has to do that.
Yeah, I think you've got to wait until these special Wicked sing-along screenings.
Sing-along specials.
A lot of them are doing those.
Back in the day, we went to a Moana sing-along,
but no one was singing along.
Oh, shame.
It was just Moana back in the cinemas and no one was singing along.
Kiwis are too reserved for that.
Yeah, we're too self-aware.
Yeah.
So I actually know someone that went to Wicked on the weekend,
and I was talking to her before she went, and I said,
do you think you'll sing along?
Because she's a massive Wicked fan.
Yeah.
And she's like, I'm kind of hoping so.
And afterwards she said, it certainly wasn't singing along mood.
Yeah.
It was shush and enjoy it. Yeah, shush and. Yeah. It was shush and enjoy it.
Yeah, shush and enjoy.
I'm a shush and enjoy place.
There'll be ones where you can go back and sing along.
Sing along during a movie at the cinemas.
86% of people said no, please be quiet.
It's still a lot more than I thought would say yes.
Yeah.
14% said yes, sing along at the movies.
Eesh. 14% said yes Sing along at the movies Ish Unless it's a sing along showing
Please lip sync with the rest of us muggles
Says Lottie
Just lip sync along
We're all impressed you know all the lyrics
Well done you
Oh you went to Broadway
So did we all
I said no
Said Melissa but in an ideal world, it would be yes.
But it is no.
Yeah.
Marama says, do it at home, please.
Even if you're a mean singer, I want to listen to the actor who has been selected from thousands of people to be the person to sing it on film.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
Gabby said, I sing along quietly. I don't even know I'm doing
it most of the time. I've got no filter
when it comes to singing. Yeah, right.
Quietly or lip-syncing?
That's fine with me. Lip-sync it.
I'm absolutely the sort of person that will
sing at a musical. Mamma Mia,
Grease, Dirty Dancing and now Wicked.
Now Jess said that and if I could just get you
to pump the brakes, Jess.
Mamma Mia, Grease and Dirty Dancing, I can understand old movies.
So if they're in the cinemas, it's like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
If you go and see that on the thing.
We're seeing in the time warp.
And you throw things.
There's a whole lot of lore around Rocky Horror that if you're going to go see it in the cinema, you've got to do it.
And I agree with those other ones, but Wicked still too new.
Yeah.
Still too new.
I didn't pay to hear karaoke, said Sophie. No one pays to do it. And I agree with those other ones, but Wicked's still too new. Yeah. Still too new. I didn't pay to hear karaoke,
said Sophie.
No one pays to hear karaoke.
No.
No, you pay to do it.
You pay to,
you're there, right?
Yeah.
God, I love karaoke.
It's been too long.
The only people that love karaoke
are the people singing.
Me.
The only people.
Yeah, show ponies like you.
Me.
Me. Listen to how goodies like you. Me, me, me.
Listen to how good I am.
Kat says, any trace of other humans in the theatre,
be it a chip packet, a whisper, a sing-along or some loud chewing,
sends me into an irreversible fit of rage and ruins the film experience.
Yeah, I hate a Lolly Russell. I know, but sometimes you're down to the last couple of Maltesers
and you really need to get in there.
Brianna says, sat next to a girl at
Wicked last night with no cinema etiquette.
She talked through the whole thing and
played on her phone. We all go in, we silently
watch, we leave. End of experience.
Yeah, the torch.
Just leave. If you need to be on your phone, just
don't be there. It's hardly cheap
to go to the movies these days. Yeah.
Unless you're sneakily looking up the person that you
just saw in the background that you definitely know from somewhere,
you've got to open up the IMDB app
and find who it was.
No, you can do that later.
Everyone who voted no is a lame-o, says Kels.
Okay.
Kels, you might be, you're in the minority.
That's a little poll.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
I, yesterday, I've mentioned this before,
I've been investigating some knee pain.
And I went back to the specialist yesterday and he was like, look, we've exhausted this sort of path.
That's not what's causing the problem.
And he said he was enjoying it.
That's, I like, that's cool.
Rather than just being like, oh, look, I don't know. We've, I like, that's cool. Rather than just being like,
ah, look, I don't know, we've tried everything.
This doctor's like.
Yeah.
He said to me, he was like,
I'm a little bit like this. And he said, I'm really kind of enjoying this.
I love a challenge.
I'm going to scratch my bloody head over this.
Oh, that's good that he's going to,
like, hopefully get to the bottom of it.
Yeah, I love that.
I love that.
We're on the journey together.
You just get a weird, like,
shooting knee pain all the time.
24-7.
Yeah, right.
Every minute of the day, it's going.
And it's been there for three years
and I've never been able to get to the bottom of it. So it's not
this... I put forward amputation.
Yeah, I was for that. Do you know
when it's really bad, when I feel dramatic, I was like
just cut it off! Just cut it off!
Imagine how cool it would be at a pirate party if you've
got like a pig leg. Having a bionic leg would be
pretty mean. Yeah. I'd prefer
to keep my own leg, but... Yeah, sure.
There's more advancements than a pig leg, by the way.
No, there wouldn't.
No.
I thought you were just saying just for the pirate party,
she'd pop on a wooden leg.
No, she would have it for the pirate party,
but you'd keep it other times.
No, no, I'd do pig leg for a party.
No, it'd be a nice rimu.
I'd go one of those amazing...
Varnished.
There was a model who lost her leg to toxic shock syndrome
and she had like a brass coloured one.
She's using budget Tammys.
Yeah, but probably budget Tammys.
And she had a brass one.
Budget Tammys.
Yeah.
Never budget.
Never go budget.
If there's something I'm spending money on,
it's high quality Tammys.
Anyway, we digress as we do.
So anyway, I went back to him yesterday and he was like,
I've been scratching my head, but I think it could be this. And he's looked
back, I had an MRI on my spine, and he looked
back and he saw,
he chucked a few words around, and he was like, by the way,
this is not dramatic. And I'm
making it quite dramatic. He was like,
this is very in keeping with a healthy spine of a woman
your age, by which he means extremely young
and only in the first quarter of your life. Late 20s.
Late 20s, at the most.
At the most. He said,
I see one of your lower discs is bulging
slightly. He's got a bulging disc.
He's got a bulging disc. And then he looked through another bit
and he was like, that's a little bit of...
And I was like, what's that? And he was like, well, look, it's
arthritis. But he's like, but it's normal.
It's the kind of arthritis. He's like, I've got it, she's got it.
Everyone gets this. Because it's not arthritis.
You always assume, or people assume it's for like old people.
But it's not.
Or like that it's associated with deep pain.
I don't have any pain in my back.
I've got pain in my knee.
But this could be a combination of things that are pushing and causing this knee pain.
And so that bulging disc on your spine.
Pushing against a nerve.
Oh, and that could be causing the pain.
Could be.
Now that's the path of investigation to go down for the next however long.
But, you know, no matter when a doctor says to you,
by the way, this isn't serious, it's very in keeping.
Like, this is a very normal thing that happens.
I was like, arthritis, a bulging disc.
I've got a bad back.
I've got a bad back.
I'm 35.
That's it.
I'm old.
I felt so old suddenly.
And he could see it in my eye being like, no, no, no, no, no.
This is not a big deal.
Spiraling.
She's spiraling.
She's spiraling. I'm old. I'm old, I've got to write a will.
What shall I leave my children I haven't had?
I want to know what made you feel old this week
because I've been doing a bit of heavy lifting at home
and you do, you just feel it in the knees.
You feel it in the back a little bit.
You just start to feel things.
Or maybe it was just a look in the mirror.
Maybe it was, I don't know,
something that made you feel old.
You didn't get a reference.
I've got two things.
Okay, and this is good
because this is going to make you feel better, Hayley.
Because we all go through this.
Regardless if you're in your teens, 20s, 30s, 40s,
and above, you always just are panicking about turning old.
Jennifer Coolidge was 38 when she played Stifler's mum.
You're older than that.
I'm 42.
Yeah.
Soon to be 43.
She was 38 when she played Stifler's mum.
And in the original American Pie, which came out 25 years ago,
we were all like, she's old.
She's hot, but she's old.
And she's not.
She was only 38 and that's young.
Yeah.
That's young these days.
Yeah.
And the other thing was that kid, Sophia Grace,
that went on Alan and sung Nicki Minaj.
The British chick.
The British girl.
Super bass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That little one that's like, hey, come on.
What was her little sidekick's name?
Did we talk to her?
I feel like way back in the day we interviewed her.
Yeah.
And she's just had, or having her second baby.
What?
I know, sir.
She is mother times two.
So she would have been, like, because we would have,
that would have been nine years ago, ten years ago.
Ten years ago.
So she, yeah, she would have been ten.
Super bass, yeah.
Yeah.
Ten years ago.
I know, wow.
Hello, Ellen, how are you?
She was that little mouthy kid and now she's about to have her second.
She used to sing super bass.
It just makes you
feel old.
Yeah, maybe it's
something like that.
You saw something in
the news and you're
like, what?
I see this a lot on
Instagram, women
being like, I'm the
age of the golden
girls.
You know, like
Betty White and
stuff when they did
that old show.
And everyone was
like, oh, they were
elderly in that.
They were early
50s.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, Bea Arthur
was like the oldest
one and she was
older than the woman
that was playing
the oldest one. Yeah. Wild. I know. Okay, well, let's make Hayley feel better. Yeah. Yeah, Bea Arthur was like the oldest one and she was older than the woman that was playing the oldest one.
Yeah.
Wild.
I know.
Okay, well, let's make Hayley feel better.
Yes.
Because of her bad back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What made you feel old recently?
0800 DALZITM is the number.
Give us a text.
9696.
It's almost to the day 25 years since Toy Story 2 came out.
No, it's not.
That was 10 years ago.
What made you feel old recently?
Some great messages coming in.
My brother-in-law just texted me.
He's a teacher, high school teacher.
Year nine student just told him that he was born in the olden days.
Remember when you used to say that to your parents?
Back in the olden days.
And when my brother-in-law Matthew was like, no, he wasn't,
the student scientifically calculated to be like technically yes you were
have you seen that video where they talk to
like NFL draft picks
like the most athletic
people on the world they do NBA draft
picks and they're like okay so what would it take
for someone to be considered old what year
would they have to have been born and they're just all of them
like 2000 yeah anything before 2000
anything that starts in 19
and I'm just like. Anything that starts in 19. And I'm just like, wild.
Anything that starts in 19.
Come here, you young whippersnapper.
Did your brother-in-law instantly fail that kid?
Yeah, he's been kicked out of the school, I believe.
Yeah, he's been removed.
Good.
Maddie joins us.
Maddie, what made you feel old this week?
The TikTok comments saying that people don't know that Harry Styles was in One Direction.
Oh, yeah, because they would just think of him with a solo career.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's where he started as a young man.
He's not even that old.
Wait, how old is he now?
How old is Harry?
Like 31 or 30.
Maddie, do you know that Justin Timberlake was part of a boy band?
I did know that.
Okay, good.
I was just checking because I was going back a generation for boy bands.
Yeah, just making sure.
Making sure.
Yeah, just making sure.
That would be slightly hypocritical.
Maddie, thank you.
Emma, what made you feel old this week?
I bent down to pat my cat and scared her off with the crunching sound of my knees.
Oh, my God.
The cat's like, what was that?
It's just creaking. Primal wiring
thinks it's a rattlesnake or something. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm only
36.
And that is extremely young.
Oh my god.
36 is the new 26, okay?
We agree, Emma? I agree.
Yeah, go, go, go. It's more creaky
than 26. What do you take for creaky joints?
It's creaky 26. Which has got so many vitamins
on his bench and I'm imagining
he's got a vitamin for creaky joints. Have you got a joint
supplement? Yeah, take a joint supplement. What's a joint
supplement? Glucosamine. Yeah, something like that.
I lubricate everything
with coffee. That's about the size of it.
You know, that's probably not helping your hormones.
It's probably dehydrating you.
Thanks Emma. Thanks, Emma.
Some messages in.
My daughter was doing my face paint
and she asked me if I wanted my receding hairline painted in.
Oh.
How dare you.
I had to stop myself from calling her a little bitch.
Yeah.
Did you grant?
I hope she was grounded for like a month.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Grey hair.
I found grey hair at 33 gave me a hot flush of fear.
Well, see, that's something you guys have to look forward to
in the next few years.
I haven't had one yet.
That'll be a big day.
I might take that day off.
A student asked me how old I am, and I said, none of your business,
because I'm a mature, respectful teacher.
They went on to guess that I was, one said 35, one said 38,
and one said just before 40, I'm 25.
Oh!
I know, but they think you're an adult.
You know, they think that you're the senior authority there.
I just got back as a parent volunteer,
three days at school camp with a bunch of 10-year-olds.
Getting called sir makes me feel old like nothing else has.
Sigma Riz, Ohio.
Yes, Sigma Riz.
I think she's.
Yeah, your dad's got the Sigma Riz.
I didn't love being called ma'am
or like when people would say,
ask the lady when I worked in retail
when I was like 19.
Ask the lady.
I was like, excuse me?
I'm a girl?
Someone said, what made me feel old this week?
My son turned 35.
Yeah, that must blow your mind.
What the actual hell?
Louise messaged in,
I used to run 70 to 100 kilometers a week
yeah um now i have a bulging disc too and i can run five kilometers once a week and i get off the
bus like a creaking galleon i love that description a big wooden pirate ship yeah and you know oh yes
yes louise you might have a bulging disc and creak like a galleon, but you've certainly not lost any of your poetic.
Yeah.
You might actually be coming into your poetic era.
Yeah.
That's lovely.
I went to bed early, no wine, had an amazing eight and a half hour sleep,
woke up exhausted, just turned 30.
I'm a youth health nurse.
A teen was talking about an all black spring box game.
And I said, I was lucky enough to watch one in person.
He asked if I was at one of the apartheid riots.
I'm 28.
Oh.
No, I wasn't there.
No, I wasn't even alive.
I felt old when telling one of the young girls at work
that I was excited to go see the Venga Boys,
and she asked me, what's a Venga Boy?
Oh.
The Venga Bus is coming.
Yeah, the Venga Bus is coming.
Get on board.
Everybody's jumping. I said, where does it take us? New York to San Francisco. Yeah, the finger bus is coming. Get on board. Everybody's jumping.
I was like, where does it take us?
New York to San Francisco.
Okay.
A never-ending disco.
I don't know.
I'm too young to know what everybody's talking about.
The traffic lights are bumping and everybody's jumping.
So if you come to party, come on and move your body.
For God's sake.
Somebody said the fact that it's 45 years since Mount Erebus
and I can remember that.
Bryn just said it on the news.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was what they said hearing that this morning.
45 years and I can remember it happening. I was like, that on the news. Yeah, yeah. That was what they said, hearing that this morning, 45 years,
and I can remember it happening.
I was like, that simply can't be right.
Crazy.
Someone called me a fire, and I'm 36, gave me a heart attack.
You know, like fire, like the Maori term of like a leader.
You're like, oh, my God, how dare you?
Yeah.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm a child.
The little baby that played Good Luck Charlie on Disney Channel
is now 15 years old
and that just doesn't
add up at all.
Oh my God,
I went out to da clubs.
Oh no,
dad will make you feel old.
Yeah, don't do that.
Going to da clubs
makes you feel real old.
Walking down,
whenever we were in Wellington,
we walked down Courtney Place
and you're like,
oh God,
go home,
all of you,
grow up.
You're like,
this was you not so long ago, babe. Play ZM, all of you, grow up. You're like, this was you
not so long ago, babe.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Now listen to this storyline
for a Christmas film
called Christmas in the Spotlight
and see if it sounds familiar.
Okay.
Christmas in the Spotlight
follows the love story
of a mega pop star
and a football player,
both trying to navigate
their feelings for each other
amidst intense scrutinisation.
Yeah, it's ringing very close to Taylor Swift.
It's Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
And so apparently this movie, which is a Lifetime movie,
which is like, it's your American kind of daytime cheesy films
that just look dreadful.
Low budget.
Low budget.
You never know any of the actors in these films.
You won't know a single person like Jessica Lord
or Laith Welsh-Schlager who play, I'll say it,
Taylor and Travis.
They don't go by those names, obviously.
I really hope that Taylor Swift does an interview
and says that they've sat down to watch this and then give their review of it because that would make my day.
So there was a journalist who watched this and they made 62 unfiltered thoughts I had while watching it.
The first one being that this is an hour and a half I spent watching this and I'll never get back. And it basically, apparently one of the worst parts of this film is that they use lines from Taylor Swift songs as dialogue.
Like they're chucking in like references to her music as dialogue.
I guess, I mean, what are the copyright laws around this?
I don't know.
I hate it.
Are you kidding me?
Carwin just messaged me.
It's got a 7.1 out of 10 on IMDb.
What?
No, because it's all you crazy Swifties.
You're five star bombing it.
You'll just slap it up.
You're review bombing it.
You're review bombing it up.
No, because it's...
You're anti-bombing.
You're anti-review bombing.
Yeah.
No, because I feel like a lot of us Swifties will be like,
this is a bit cringe.
Yeah.
But maybe it's good cringe.
Like, who doesn't love a good cringe?
We've already made plans to watch it together.
Yeah, I mean, it'll be such a fun day.
If you had some drinks on board, maybe.
But so that starts off with this pop star singing.
She's got blonde hair with waves in it.
With singing a Taylor-inspired, like, Taylor-styled song,
which is apparently so bad.
Right.
She, yeah, writes all these jokes about being single
and like all of her songs are about being single
and like looking for love.
It is just absolutely terrible.
The movie, Travis has the number 13 jumper on.
He looks nothing like Travis, but he's sort of like D grade.
Right.
Shall we say?
Are we going to have the chance to see this in New Zealand?
Well, I was trying to look as to where we can find it.
I mean, you could probably download it from somewhere.
I mean, I'm not going to watch that, but...
Why are you asking?
Because it really feels like...
Well, I said I'm not watching that Snowman movie.
Somebody messaged in saying it's so bad they couldn't even finish it. Wait, this or the Snowman one? The Snowman one. Yeah, yeah, I said I'm not watching that snowman movie. Somebody messaged in saying it's so bad they couldn't even finish it.
Wait, this or the snowman one?
The snowman one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the snowman that, by the way, if you haven't seen,
it comes alive and is like a hot guy with abs.
Is a hot guy with abs.
Yeah.
And the lead person is the actress that played Gretchen Wiener on Mean Girls.
Yeah.
I've heard that it's actually quite delightful.
Somebody's just messaged in,
have you seen the trailer for the Robbie Williams biopic
where he's a monkey?
I saw...
No.
Have you not seen the poster?
And he's a monkey man.
And I'm like, why is he a monkey man?
I'm a huge Robbie Williams fan.
Is he a monkey man for the whole documentary?
Better Man, one of his songs.
See Robbie Williams as a CGI monkey
in first trailer for biopic. What? He's a monkey. Oh my God, he of his songs. See Robbie Williams as a CGI monkey in first trailer for Biopic.
What?
He's a monkey?
Oh my God, he's a monkey.
For the whole movie?
I don't know.
Oh no, that's also a movie I won't be watching.
The pop singer's portrayed by a CGI monkey
follows Williams as he goes from a fractious childhood
to boy band success and then solo superstardom.
As a monkeyom as a monkey
as a monkey
along the way
the film reportedly
doesn't flinch
from depicting
his animal side
including drug problems
and repellent star behaviour
sounds like whoever
made that was on drugs
yes
put down the pipe

Ashley joins us.
Good morning, Ashley.
Good morning.
Okay.
How are you this morning, Ashley?
I'm getting a real administration tone from that voice.
Are you?
Interesting.
That's not a question, though.
That's not a question.
How are you, Ashley?
How's the week been?
This isn't a question either.
I'm good, thank you.
It's been busy.
Busy.
Busy because admin.
Busy this time of year.
End of year wrap up.
Yeah.
I'm going to go first if I may.
Do you work in a female-dominant industry?
No.
Oh.
Straight in.
So it's a male-dominated industry.
It's 50-50 or it's a male-dominated industry.
Okay.
Interesting.
Okay.
Oh, I don't want to go last.
She's not early childhood.
You'd say that's a female-dominated industry, wouldn't you?
Yep.
Yeah, okay. She's not a hairdresser. that's a female-dominated industry, wouldn't you? Yeah, you would. Yep. Yeah, okay, okay.
She's not a hairdresser.
That's a female-dominated industry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Ashley, do you work predominantly behind a computer?
No.
Oh.
She's a tradie.
Yeah, for sure she's working in the trades, eh?
Should I ask that and then we'll just guess?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We need to narrow it down more.
Let's assume it's in the trades.
We need to narrow it down.
Your question needs to narrow down what trade?
What kind of trade?
Oh, no.
Like, do you use a hammer?
Most trades would at some stage use a hammer.
Don't laugh at me. I say do you use a hammer? Most trades would at some stage use a hammer. Don't laugh at me.
I say do you use a hammer?
Don't answer that.
Imagine if she said yes.
Yeah.
We'd know, wouldn't we?
Okay.
Yeah, definitely.
Do you reckon she's like a sparky?
What about do you wear high-vis?
No, because all tradies wear high-vis.
I'm not sold on the tradies.
Maybe like construction?
Or like road traffic?
Yeah, or trucking.
That's a male dominant, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, look.
What about...
We almost need to give ourselves more than three questions.
We're getting worse at this game, Ashley.
I think we're onto something here.
I think we need to narrow down a trade.
Okay.
Shut up, Ashley.
Shut up.
You shut your mouth.
Maybe ask if she works
on the road?
Nah,
because most tradies travel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're all traveling.
And on the road
wouldn't eliminate any water.
It would just muddy the waters.
I reckon ask her
if she works in the trades
and we'll just take a stab.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah, yeah. Do you work in the trades? Wait, just take a stab. Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah.
Do you work in the trades?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Shut up, Ashley.
Do you work in one
of the big three trades?
Plumbing, electricity
or building?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Do you?
Yep, that one.
No.
Oh, shit.
She doesn't work
in one of the big...
It's trucking then.
She couldn't even be...
Yeah, it is trucking.
She might not even be
in the trades.
She's not in the trades.
Yeah, but she could be
in one of the little trades.
Trucking.
Well, you're saying Thailand.
Trucking. 100%.
Do you work in transport?
No, that's not a shot the heller.
We've asked our questions, right?
Yeah, now we need to guess our job.
Do you work in transportation?
I think we'll say
trucking. Do you work in trucking?
No. Oh, shit. We. Do you work in trucking? No.
Oh, shit.
We got excited.
What do you do?
What do you do?
What's your jobby?
I'm a house painter.
Oh, my God.
So good.
See, that was the other trade.
It's one of the trades.
It's one of the second tier trades.
I wouldn't say painting's one of the big...
Oh, you're probably right, actually.
Yeah, of course I'm right,
because everything needs to be painted.
Where do you stop?
Gyp-stopping?
Is that one of the big four trades?
Plastering?
Ashley...
Tiling?
Is that one of the big six trades?
Well, we do...
Yeah, Ashley, do you do wallpapering as well?
No, I don't do wallpapering.
Yeah, just outside.
How much for a cash job to paint
a horrible orange 80s brick house?
Get your own quote on your own time.
I'm going to get a quote while she's here.
And of course she would be paying tax for it and you would be too.
Yes, of course.
Ashley, sorry we couldn't guess your job there.
Unfortunately, going home empty handed today.
Well, she's not going empty handed because she's got a lovely trade.
She does.
She does.
Grace, do you insist?
We're going to have another shot at this.
Come on.
Grace, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you guys?
Really good.
Grace, do you wear a uniform?
Yes.
Great question straight out the gate.
I want to ask my question from the first round again.
Am I allowed to do that?
Yeah, mate.
You can do whatever you want.
Do you work in a female-dominated industry?
Definitely not.
Definitely not.
Oh, okay.
And in a uniform.
So a male-dominated industry uniform.
Oh, wait, are you second-guessing that, Grace?
The job in general, I guess,
is just would be 50-50
but like my specific
like part
is very male dominated
Yeah right
right right
got ya
Oh okay
Let's just say
no it's not like
gender dominated
Yeah
Okay
Yeah but she
I say oh my god
that's really thrown me
Has it okay
Because do you think
it could be working
in medicine
She also said the job
she also said the trade job.
So she almost said the trade.
Shit, we've got another trade.
No, not trade.
Hey, shut up.
Oh, okay.
I misheard.
Shut up, that's a little bonus clue.
That was a freebie.
That's why I was thinking medicine,
because, you know, that's not a gender-dominated thing,
as you're saying, but maybe one area of it is.
Nursing, I'd say, was still female-dominated.
Yes, but anaesthetists.
What about x-ray urologists?
My experience with females.
X-rays, more females.
I've had a lot of male specialists.
You know, maybe she's a, maybe.
Okay, do you work in the medical industry?
No.
Okay, well, well, God.
Now we're taking that.
We're taking that.
That's what we're staring at now. Where's a uniform? Where well, God. Where's the uniform?
Where's the uniform?
Where's the uniform?
Okay, hang on. It's not a medicine.
That's what we've...
Her area of this
industry isn't
particularly
female driven.
Okay, come on. But the industry on a whole
is a bit more... So flowers were out.
I think, oh, maybe she's a chef.
If I can give you guys a hint.
No, we're not.
I played this game with you guys in one of the first times you did it.
Wait, are you a repeat caller?
What did we not guess at the first time?
And you did not guess it last time.
Oh, shit.
I love that you're just.
I reckon she's a chef. Or a cook.
Uniform?
They wear a uniform.
Uniform?
And is that...
And hospitality isn't...
Yeah, but then what is her speciality that she says isn't...
The kitchen.
The kitchen.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Well, Hayley, you've got...
Okay, Grace.
One guess.
Oh.
Are you... Oh. Are you...
Oh.
Are you a butcher?
No.
I just went left.
I went rogue.
What are you?
What's your job be?
I'm a sales rep, and I work in, like, agriculture.
Oh, God.
Oh, okay.
You know what?
I'm going to tell you, we would have never got that, Grace.
We'd, yeah. We're sort of better when you're in touch.
I wouldn't even bother calling again for a third time.
We're not going to guess that a third time, Grace.
If you rang next week and said, it's Grace again,
we'd all be like, oh, no, we forgot.
Shit, what was it?
Is she a butcher?
I just opened the text machine because some people listening
have got far better memories.
And then they'll be like, it's me, it's the agricultural salesperson.
Well, unfortunately, Grace going home empty-handed and nobody winning this week's What's Your Jobby?
So we'll come back for a crack, I'm sure, before Christmas.
But Grace, if you've got any freebies rocking around in fertiliser for a guy with a big paddock?
I work in fertiliser and I've called before and you always ask for freebies.
I know.
What a day.
He's such a scab.
Do you know how expensive it is?
He wants people to do tax-free cash painting jobbies.
And free fertilizer.
Free fertilizer samples.
He's an absolute scab.
God, just pay for it yourself, you scab.
Yeah, but the problem is everyone else that buys fertilizer are running, like, a productive farm where they've got costs and they've got profits.
I'm just a straight hole in the ground when it comes to costs.
Oh, shut up.
Ornamental cattle.
We're making no money off them.
When you've got an Instagram property.
That's right.
Grace, are you feeling pity for Vaughan and his lifestyle block?
No, I'm not.
Yep.
I'm paying city rates.
I'm paying city rates without city services.
And I'm living about it. Play'm paying city rates without city services.
And I'm living about it.

Here are some of the contenders for word of the year for dictionary.com.
Now, Oxford, Collins.
Oh, they'll all start trickling out.
They all start doing it.
Harper's.
They all start doing it. Merriam-Webster.
Merriam-Webster.
Yep.
Merriam-Margoyles.
Macquarie
Yeah I was going to say
The Australian word of the year
Is the one I always like the most
Because it's close to home
Close to home yeah
It's been the C-bomb
For like 12 years in a row
Yeah I know
Yeah
And one year it was
Bachelor's handbag
Yeah it was last year
That was the best
So here were the contenders
For dictionary.com
Brain rot
Yep
Extreme weather
Midwest nice And weird And brat Weird dictionary.com's Brain Rot Extreme Weather Midwest Nice
and Weird
and Brat. Weird. And all words
that would have already been in the dictionary, right?
Yeah. But these aren't the new
editions. These are just the word of
the year. Yeah, yeah, because then
you get the ones that are added in.
No, those were the contenders for
word of the year. I hate it when they say word of the year and there's
two words.
Extreme weather.
That's one.
They should say phrase of the year.
That's a phrase of the year.
Saying of the year.
That's right, actually.
We'll send them a strongly worded email.
One word, ex-with.
Ex-with.
And then that's like a new one word that means extreme weather.
We're expecting ex-with.
Now, their word of the year
was,
went huge
maybe a few months ago
after a video
from an influencer
went very viral.
It went very viral,
very mindful,
very demure.
Oh,
very mindful.
Demure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was TikTok
of Jules Lebrun.
Remember she said that?
Look how I do my makeup
for work.
Very mindful, very demure.
And everyone was like, oh my God, demure is such a great way of describing being like modest and shy.
Yeah.
And then she didn't copyright anything and everyone kind of made money off of it.
Yeah.
Real stupid because very mindful, very demure was everywhere for like two weeks.
Yeah.
Everyone was saying, oh my gosh.
Missed the boat.
I love that drink bottle.
Very mindful, very demure.
But people are so quick on that.
People see a video and they're like, oh, I might copyright a trademark.
Yeah, hoak tua, like all that.
That just goes so quick.
Pookie.
Pookie, that's the guy who shows off his wife's outfits.
Looking good, Pookie.
And now that's like a huge word that everyone's using.
Anyway, demure, that's their word of the year.
I never really got into it.
I sort of buck trends.
I'm sort of alternative like that.
Right, you're different.
I'm still a goth at heart.
I'm different and unique.
People say I have a unique voice as well.
Right.
I don't want a life.
I wish my...
What's your word of the year?
What is that?
My word of the year is the.
It's a great word.
You're telling me that's not a good word?
You're telling me you haven't used that a lot this year?
I actually use it every day.
Yeah.
I use that word all the time.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Yesterday, I was walking home after work,
and I crossed the road to avoid something.
What did you avoid?
What do I cross the road?
Sometimes, yeah, people loosely know whose name I can't remember.
And you just can't be bothered.
You're not in the mood for a conversation.
You're just like, oh.
No, there was the one news.
There was a reporter from One News and a cameraman doing those Vox Pops.
On the street.
On the street asking people questions.
And there was no one else coming towards them except me.
I was about to say lazy because it was probably right outside TVNZ, but then I think
everybody at TVNZ has got five jobs now.
Yeah, they're not lazy. Not lazy,
just doing the best they could with the time they had.
Whenever they need reaction from the street, they just
walk down to Queen Street in Auckland.
What's your take on it? What's your take on this?
I think that they've gone
on too long. And I've had
a bad track record with these things.
I've been on the news before.
Have you? You remember the sausages?
Yeah, Campbell Live was raising some money
and I gave
a very articulate answer about
our support for the Samoan
rugby team who I thought had been
unjustly stung with a fine
and then Fletch said, I love sausages.
I love sausages. Well, I didn't, there was
nothing more to add. Hot take. Vaughan had already given a hot take. Gosh. And then I just, said, I like sausages. I like sausages. I love, well, I didn't, there was nothing more to add.
Hot take.
Vaughan had already given a hot take
and then I just,
yeah,
I love sausages
and that was the bit they used.
I mean,
sausages rule.
The sausages,
and I was also asked in Melbourne once,
I think I've talked about this,
they were doing a piece
about the public transport
because they all hate
the public transport over there.
Yeah, right.
But coming from New Zealand,
I was like,
it's great.
And I was the only person on the news that was like, it's great. And I was the only person
on the news
that was like,
this is great.
And they're like,
oh,
I was that one person.
I've never been asked.
I've never been approached.
Maybe I'm a minger.
They don't want me on the news.
I think that's the thing.
Like,
they definitely always
choose attractive people.
Yeah,
they choose the hotties.
They choose the hotties.
That's crazy.
David Farrier,
when he was a reporter
on three news
would come quite a bit. he'd come and talk to us
about weird youth stuff
yeah
because you guys
were the reporters
on what happened
with the youth
but there was planking
he talked to us about
planking
that's right
planking
and everyone's like
why are these kids doing it
it must be the drugs
and it wasn't
it was just like
no it's just
trends
and the other one was
there was this thing
doing the rounds
that if you listen
to a certain sound
on headphones,
it'll make you trip, like trip out.
Oh, wow.
And parents were like, oh my God, the kids are on audio drugs now.
And he asked us and we listened to it and we were like, well, it's just the sound, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think it's just that hyped up thing when something hits the internet and parents panic.
Yeah.
I don't even know what the reporter was asking people, but I was like, I don't want to be
like, because I was like, what if it's a big
question like, you know, the war or
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, a political thing.
I was like, I don't want to be like
put on the spot. What's your stance on this?
On David Seymour's treaty bill?
Yeah, but like, I don't know, put him down?
Put against it. Yeah. Put him down.
Euthanise it? Euthanise it?
Because isn't he for euthanising himself?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and I'd say that.
You have a dumb take on a hot political issue.
Yeah, and then like, oh, then I'm the news.
It's like, no, no, no.
So I just cross the road.
But this is what I thought we could ask this morning is what did you say on the news?
Were you one of these like, they call them vox pops, don't they?
Did you comment, I don't know, give some commentary on something?
Yeah, yeah're great.
And what was it about?
Because I know Shannon, we've spoken about this in the past.
You were one of these.
Yeah, when I was about seven,
we were protesting against orange ruffy trawling.
Who was?
My school.
Oh, okay.
But like us kids were like.
It's nice to get behind a chorus.
What was the teacher like?
Kind of getting some numbers up.
Yeah, so then the weird thing was
is once we finished
the protest
we went back
to the classroom
and she's like
here, enjoy
and it was an orange ruffy.
We ate one.
Why?
I don't get it.
It was so bizarre.
Also, why would you
eat that yuck fish?
No, it was yum as.
No, orange ruffy's yum as.
That's why it's endangered
because it's too delicious
for its own good.
I have to do the chant
on the news.
Stop bottom trawling.
It's appalling.
Had the teacher caught
an orange ruffian
on a line?
I don't know
how they caught it.
And was just like,
it's okay if we eat them
with their line.
It's the trawling
that's the problem.
I don't know what
the word trawling means
but it's stuck with me.
Right.
Even to this day
you don't know
what bottom trawling is.
No.
Is that like a comment?
Well trawling is just
a ship moves towing a massive net right and just catching everything. Oh. Is that like a comment? Well, trawling is just a ship moves
towing a massive net right
and just catching
everything behind it.
Isn't that just fishing?
Wait.
No.
What's the type of fishing?
Maybe this is off air.
It's just taking too much.
It's really bad
for the bottom of the seabed.
Oh, it's appalling, yeah.
It's appalling.
Yeah, stop bottom trawling.
It's appalling.
As you were chanting
on the news.
So, okay,
this is what I want to do
this morning
because we can relive these amazing times when you had your two seconds on the news. So, okay, this is what I want to do this morning because we can relive these amazing times

I just remembered there was a hostage situation
in Morrinsville when I was an intermediate.
This guy walked through the florist and took them home.
Was this a guy that was like,
I'm not coming out until Holmesy comes here.
Yeah, the equivalent now of saying, I'm not coming out until Holmesy comes here? Yeah. The equivalent now of saying,
I'm not leaving this florist
until you fly Jeremy Wells and Hilary Barry down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dare I say Holmes at seven
was slightly harder hitting the seven shot?
I won't have that.
I won't have that.
Well, they caught it,
and then there was like,
they were,
obviously the local news people got there before,
and I always remember there was this old guy,
and they were like,
what do you think of this situation?
He was just like, shoot the bastard.
Oh, my God.
Okay, what did you end up saying on the news?
0800-DARLS-AT-M.
Call now.
Text in 9696.
What was your two seconds of fame?
Because you avoided it yesterday.
I crossed the road.
I've got a bad track record of giving poor commentary on the news.
Somebody said, I can beat that, because I didn't even get to say anything on the road. I've got a bad track record of giving poor commentary on the news. Somebody said, I can beat that because I didn't even get to say anything on the news.
They were doing a story about construction and used a three-second video of me in their montage.
It was me trying to hit a nail with a hammer, which I missed three times.
And then on the fourth, bent the nail.
It sounds like they need a nail gun.
They need a nail gun.
That's so shameful.
Charlotte, what did you end up saying on the news?
Oh, well, it was actually my husband.
And we're going back about 20 years.
We used to have a salmon farm down in the high country of Canterbury.
How did the fish get up there?
Well, we tagged it off the Rakaia River. But anyhow, there was this major bushfire in the high country
around Ashburton, Western Area.
And they called in all the help they could get in the region.
And so my husband was a volunteer firefighter helping out.
And 6 News came and interviewed him.
And they asked for, you know, how are you containing this fire?
And they edited his answer that she screened on the 6pm news
to, we're putting water on it.
I mean, not wrong and factually correct.
Actually quite accurate.
Actually very accurate.
What we've decided to do today is a different approach,
and we're going to try putting water on it.
We'll just fan it some more.
Yeah, brilliant. Charlotte, thank you.
Some messages in.
There's so many good ones. Somebody messaged in saying they
also remember the 1994 morals for hostage
being taken and the guy in the news saying shoot the
bastard and then the police did shoot the bastard.
That's what they followed up. I didn't remember
the end of that. Right. I knew he went
but I thought he might have exploded himself.
Like all the way? Huh?
All the way shooting him or
like injured? All the way shooting him.
All the way. All the way.
I love this one. When I lived in London
I was in a clothing store that Princess Catherine
had worn a dress from. They asked
me if I would buy and wear the dress she
wore and my extremely Kiwi accent.
I said, yeah, definitely.
She's so stylish.
I was on the 5 p.m. news with the posh reporter
and then I sounded like an unclassy Kiwi.
Oh, no.
My parents live on a farm and in 2010,
there was a news article on a petrol station nearby
that it had accidentally not increased its fuel prices.
And I was studying and watching TV and my mum came on
and she said that,
she later told me she'd been absolutely blindsided
because she'd worked out that the fuel was cheaper.
So they were down there
filling up every container they had.
So my mum was on the news
looking like a real scab
because she was like
filling up milk bottles and everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bloody hell,
I just want to get on them.
Somebody said, a lot of teachers messaging in that they were out doing strikes
and the news would cover the teacher strike and they'd come and talk to them,
obviously, after an eloquent answer as to why they were striking,
but they got stage fright and couldn't mutter much more.
Does this give me more money?
Yeah.
Money?
I was asked to give my halftime thoughts at the football.
Then they told me they couldn't possibly use the footage.
Because you just gave a useless answer.
I didn't have a useless answer.
I had a few too many.
One time the local newspaper stopped me and asked me what my favourite movie was.
I panicked and said Gangs of New York.
It's a great movie.
Long though.
Long.
They took a photo of me to publish next to my wonderful answer.
I was a security guard at the Reserve Bank in Wellington
during when they had their data hack.
So they recorded footage of the front of the Reserve Bank
with me letting someone in and checking their ID.
But now they use that footage every time the Reserve Bank has mentioned it.
In the news.
Last night I was on the news again because
of rates cuts.
Amazing. Yeah.
I was 20 working at
a cafe on Albert Street in the city. It was
attached to a huge building of offices.
We had a fire so everyone was evacuated
and there were heaps of fire engines turned up
and of course the news turned up. It's just down the road
from them. That's why. Yeah. Once a small fire
was put out someone asked me a few questions
and I came off sounding like a hero,
like I was cool, calm and collected.
When in reality, once the fire started,
I went to panic mode.
I immediately grabbed my bag,
abandoned the building,
ran out thinking only of myself.
But I was on the news sounding like some sort of hero.
Amazing.
That's so good.
Yeah.
There's so many good ones.
Back in 2010,
I was being interviewed as part of a Korean dance group
for my school at the International Dance Festival in Christchurch.
All I said that I was sick and tired of kappa haka getting 90% of their attention.
Which I meant like from the dance aspect of the school.
But of course, that was the part they put on the news.
I was 12 years old.
At the end of that text, I was 12 and white
and I didn't know why I felt such a strong sense of injustice
for the Korean dance group I was in.
But they printed my name and my school
and my quote in the newspaper.
Wow.
Being like, empty mouth.
No, no, no.
I just want to do more K-pop dancing at school
when we're doing dancing.
Who was this?
The best one was the guy
who was having dots on the stove
when there was a bomb threat.
Do you remember there was that person
that had to evacuate all the houses
because they were like,
there's someone making bombs
in their garage
and the guys,
they were like,
what are we doing?
He's like,
just having a couple of dots
on the stove.
And the police knocked on his door
and he thought he was going
to get arrested for the dots.
A classic piece
of New Zealand television.
Yeah, it is.

Fact of the day, Scrabble week.
Today's fact of the day about Scrabble is that there are 107 acceptable two-letter words that you can play in Scrabble.
Oh, man.
Great.
No, man's three.
Key.
O is acceptable, though.
O-H.
Acceptable. At. At,'s three. Key. O is acceptable though. O-H. Acceptable.
At.
At, also acceptable.
Ta.
T-A, acceptable.
And O.
Yeah.
I've played a lot of Scrabble.
I played a lot of Scrabble on my iPad back in the day.
And it always like tell, you can kind of, you play enough,
you figure out the two-letter words that you don't know what they are,
but they are acceptable.
Yeah.
So I've looked up some of the two-letter words that confuse me because the only two-letter words that you don't know what they are, but they are acceptable. Yeah. So I've looked up some of the two-letter words that confuse me
because the only two-letter word that you can play that's –
I bet it was at.
Yeah.
I know.
Or he.
Oh, God.
Is.
Oh, my God.
Is.
Do.
It was do, wasn't it?
Yeah, do.
No, it was za.
Z-A.
Now, why do you think you can play Z-A?
You smart Alex.
Dunno.
Dunno, what does that mean?
You don't even know.
Colloquial for pizza.
Correct.
Yeah.
It's officially been accepted as a shortening, a slang shortening.
Like a slice of Zah.
Not an abbreviation because of course you can't play abbreviations.
Yeah.
It's Zah is the only two-letter word that starts with Z
that you can play in a game of Scrabble.
I never knew that.
Za.
It's a good one to remember, za and ki.
Ki.
Q-I.
Okay, so that's the only one you can start.
What about, what is a two-letter word that starts with R
that you can play?
The only two-letter word.
Re.
Yeah.
But do you know it's not re as in response to, re this.
In response to.
It's because it's a variant spelling of ray, like a ray of sunshine.
A ray of sunshine.
Yeah, like that.
Okay, interesting.
Okay, what about two-letter words that start with J?
There's only one of them you can play.
Is it jar?
Nope.
Jar rule.
Yeah, because of jar rule.
What about jar rule?
Yeah, jar rule's going to be pissed.
Proper noun.
Okay. It's proper noun. Joe, Ja Rule's going to be pissed. Proper noun. Okay.
It's a proper noun.
Joe.
Joe.
Couple Joe.
No.
Sweetheart or dear.
It's another word for like my sweetheart.
I love you, Joe.
Okay.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Hello, sweet Joe.
Sweet, sweet Joe.
Those are the letters where there's only one two- letter word that you can play for each of those letters
They're helpful when you get into the end of your board
Get into the end of the sack
You know, and you're going to start filling in gaps
With two letter words and stuff
But it was weird reading this list of two letter words
I started with
A, obviously this list
And I got to A, B, I was like, that's not a word
Ab
It totally is wrong
But it's short for abdominal, I guess I got to A to AB. I was like, that's not a word. Ab. It totally is wrong.
Yeah.
But it's short for abdominal, I guess.
I got to AS.
I was like, AS, that's not a word.
Of course it is.
It's AS.
It was so weird how I couldn't, when it's just a list of them, it just looks made up.
Yeah.
Like AX.
I worked out after a while that's AX.
That's the alternative spelling to AXE.
I mean, you're also thick. Quite dumb.
Yeah. A real thickie. also quite ducky. Oh, a real ducky.
A real ducky.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've had a few too many head knocks.
Yeah.
To work out that a combination of two letters can be a word.
Yeah, it's okay.
We love you anyway.
Thanks, guys.
I appreciate it.
Our special boy, our special wee Joe.
Me wee Joe.
Me wee Joe.
So today's fact of the day is there is only 107 acceptable two-letter words to be played
in official Scrabble.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Now, you know, we had the Kiwi Firefighters in here
for their Kiwi Firefighters calendar,
raising money for Movember,
with three of the lovely gentlemen.
Yeah, kiwifirefighterscalendar.co.nz.
So what a Christmas gift.
Great Christmas gift.
They were lovely guys too.
If anyone's missing theirs, I took two home.
And where did they end up?
Soiled the first one.
Soiled the first one.
The second one's on the wall.
What?
I said soiled.
That could mean anything.
George has got one in her studio as well.
She's already got January up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's ready for the year.
Ready for 2025.
Hey, he was in.
God.
And that's in your eyeline every day.
I know.
It is a body, one of the most unbelievable bodies I've ever seen in my entire life.
Yeah.
God, you've got to get one of these calendars.
For charity.
For charity.
Why else would you be buying it?
It's exclusively for charity.
I also follow the Aussie firefighters who do the Aussie firefighters calendar on Instagram.
We've got some hotties in there as well.
Okay.
They do with their photos, they do
this thing where they stand
and I don't know, it must be some kind of
igniting thing and they
stand there with their shirts off and they stomp on this
thing and it goes whoosh and they get like engulfed
in flames and then they're like, they show
the behind the scenes videos. Really?
Nice.
I buy those calendars for those
women that are raising money for mechanics.
If bornettes not.
No, those are just nudies.
Those are just like playboy calendars.
The women that can't afford bikini tops.
They can only afford tops or bottoms.
They're not raising money.
And they raise money for mechanics.
No, I don't think.
No, it's a charity for mechanics.
No, no, the firefighter ones are actually for charity.
Yeah, so are mechanics.
Okay.
Whatever you all need to tell yourself.
I hope the mechanics are doing okay.
Well, they don't have nipples, you see, the mechanics.
Right, okay, yeah.
So they get to see the nipples and then they get to save their own nipples.
Sure, okay.
And then buy their own nipples.
Okay.
Well, the American Fire Rescue Dogs Society,
they do a calendar where they get some of the fittest firefighters
from across America and they take off their shirts
and raise money with these calendars.
The only twist is they're holding puppets.
Yeah, so it's like the next level of the calendars.
Ladies that support mechanics have got puppies too.
Vole puppies.
Puppy A, puppy B.
So these guys, they're hot, like for sure. Do you know, I'd A, puppy B. So these guys are,
they're hot
like for sure.
Do you know,
I'd rate our Kiwi men
over these guys.
What about that one?
I mean that puppy,
that's real,
the one on the left
the puppy's real cute.
Can you adopt the puppies too?
Is that the idea
you adopt these puppies
or these shelter dogs?
Well I think these puppies
are training to be
fire rescue puppies.
You know they go
into the training courses.
Are they like border collies
or something? Well they're all different.
Those are border collies. Oh, they're so
cute. I don't know, whatever they are.
What are those? Mutts, I'd say.
Mutts, yeah.
Do you know what they need?
I feel like next year
the Kiwi firefighter calendar should get
kittens or puppies. Kittens.
Like, you would just, you'd up
the roof, you'd go through the roof in sales
because not only you've got a market of people
that want hot fireman calendars,
then you've got people that want,
because how many mums have cat calendars?
Heaps.
Heaps.
And cats.
I love cats.
Golden retriever calendars.
Yes.
Mums and nans love a cat calendar.
Also, they, you know know, if you were wearing,
they've got their firefighter trousers on,
and where you would maybe see usually a jockey
or a Calvin Klein popping up the top,
they're wearing custom undies that say hashtag help puppies
because they know where the eyes are going.
We're studying the biceps,
and then we're shooting down to see if there's any kind of shadowing.
And they've written their message of hashtag help puppies.
Right. So you can buy
this calendar, but I recommend getting the Kiwi Firefighters
calendar. Yeah. Because one... Well, you were saying the guys
are hotter. I think just for
me, the guys are hotter in the
Kiwi calendar. But then there are
cute puppies in that one. I know.
Well, now that we're friends, because you do know that the Kiwi
Firefighters calendar, Instagram, they follow me on Instagram.
Maybe. I don't think those
are those specific firefighters
that were in here.
I think that's the organiser.
Yeah, they came in and they were like,
hot damn, you think we're hot?
Did you see that one in there?
Yeah.
Could you see that chick?
I don't know if they were saying that.
Hot damn, they said, hot damn, I gotta see more.
This is the female equivalent of when you're a male
and you think the waitress is flirting with you,
but she's just doing her job.
They're just being nice.
They clearly were.
But maybe I could reach out to my new personal friends.
God, if they calm down enough for me to get a word in
and suggest to them puppies and kittens.
Add some puppies and kittens.
See, you do it as some sort of charity thing.
I'm trying to contact the girls in the mechanics catalogue
and all of a sudden I'm a creep.
And they're like, blocked, blocked, blocked.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.
I knew that Sabrina Carpenter
had a Christmas thing
coming out.
I've seen the ads for it.
Yep.
But my girl Chapel
is going to be involved.
This is pretty massive
considering that those two
are like the hot things.
Right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Chapel,
I still listen to this album
probably most days.
Yeah, it's going to be
your wrapped number one. Well, it's going to be your wrapped number one, eh?
Well, that's what I'm hoping for.
So this is a Netflix thing called A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter,
and it looks like a very jolly, fun, great...
I wonder how horny it's going to be, because if you've listened to that album...
I know.
And the singles themselves.
And when she performs, there's one moment in a song
where each time
she walks to the front
of the stage
and the moment
the song happens
and she gets on
she does a very
sexually explicit pose
I might not watch this
because you know
I'm waiting until marriage
yeah I know
that's why he's still a virgin
that might get me
as we established
a couple of weeks ago
45 years
in shocking news
Fletch is still a virgin
and he's waiting for the one
so I might skip this because you know yeah I'm like a PG of weeks ago. 45. And shocking news, Fletch is still a virgin and he's waiting for the one.
So I might skip this because, you know,
yeah, I'm like a PG,
kind of G-rated
Christmas thing.
I know.
Oh my God.
Have you seen the other guests?
Yes, that's what I was
just going to read out.
Please do.
Chapel Rhone,
Tyler,
who's had a big year as well.
Yes.
But again,
another very small human.
I would look ridiculous amongst these women.
Imagine if we weren't there.
We'd just look like Goliaths.
Because how tall is Sabrina Carpenter?
Five foot.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
At a stretch.
Shania Twain.
Oh.
Is going to be on.
Do you remember when she commented on our TikTok this year?
Oh, my God.
I know.
Like, was that just the biggest?
When you committed one of the greatest hate crimes
of all time
and talked over Let's Go Girls.
Yeah.
Something I'll never forget
nor forgive.
Thank you.
Cara Delevingne's also going to be on
and, you know,
a list of people you'd be like,
oh yeah, but here's one
that kind of sticks out
like a sore thumb.
Sean Astin.
Samwise Gamgee
from the Lord of the Rings movies.
What's he doing there?
Is she a Lord of the Rings fan?
I don't know.
Is he playing?
He might have reached the age where he can play Santa.
Oh, shut up.
Perhaps.
No.
Oh my God, you're right.
I just saw a photo of her sitting on Santa's lap and it's him.
Is it him?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
So it comes out on December 6th.
A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter.
It's only like a week away.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
How fun.
This is going to be really fun.
And once you watch that. I think's only like a week away. Yeah, how fun. This is going to be really fun. And once you watch that,
once you watch that,
we're speaking of,
don't forget to go and watch
the Netflix horror show
that is the,
what's it called?
Hot Frosty.
Hot Frosty.
Where the snowman comes to life
and tell you what,
he's got a six pack of abs.
Wow, who's making the programming decisions
at Netflix, eh?
Honestly. You've got to wonder. And you're still wearing your chapel run t-shirt a six-pack of abs. Wow. Who's making the programming decisions at Netflix, eh? Honestly.
You've got to wonder.
And you're still wearing your Chapel Rowan T-shirt
and getting a lot of compliments around the place.
Yeah, people love the T-shirt.
Yeah, they do.
People do love the T-shirt.
Sorry, I've tuned down.
I'm actually just adding Hot Frosty to my list.
Your watch list?
Okay.
And see you this weekend.
