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

Thank you, Bryn.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
All that last little piece of the news just starts your day with rage, doesn't it?
Well, yeah, I went from being quite guilty about the rubbish truck fires
because I'll easily chuck a battery.
I didn't know you can't chuck batteries out.
I biff a battery.
I biff a battery.
I biff a battery.
I don't.
I've got a big jar.
But where do you take them?
And every time I might attend.
Do they,
what do they collect them?
There's a battery recycling centre.
Okay.
Where do you put your jar?
Just up on the shelf in the cupboard.
That's ugly though,
isn't it?
Do you know what I mean?
Like that's just taking up space
in my precious home.
You could get a vintage pot.
I could.
I could get a vintage.
Wait,
I've just given you permission.
Piece of ceramics.
I've just given you permission
to go shopping for antiques.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
We're not biffing batteries anymore, guys.
No.
No more battery biffs.
Recycle a few places, do it.
The top six is just a couple of minutes away.
There's a move.
I didn't even know this was a thing.
But once you're 65, you're off the list to be on the jury.
Right. You decrepit brain.
There's thoughts that this should
be extended out to 72 years old.
Well, they're not doing anything, are they? I'd actually
in retirement, I think that'd be fun.
Yeah. It would be fun, but also
I think my dad's 69
and if he got called up for jury duty, he's like,
I don't have time for this shit. Yeah, busy man.
He is a busy man. But they want to push it out to 72. I've got the up for jury duty, he's like, I don't have time for this shit. Yeah, I'm a busy man. He's got stuff to do. He is a busy man.
Yeah.
But they want to push it out to 72.
I've got the,
and knowing a 74-year-old
in the shape of my father-in-law,
now there's a man with nothing going on.
There's a man that does a lot of sitting around.
But he wouldn't be the perfect juror.
I've got the top six reasons.
A 72-year-old's not always going to be a great juror.
Juror.
Next though.
Cardi B got a new piercing
and it's not one I personally have considered.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone
with a piercing in this area.
Well, with my own eyeballs.
Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Cardi B is no stranger to body modifications.
She's got lots of tattoos.
She's got lots of piercings.
She had a tongue piercing.
She should take it out because she bit down on it too hard.
Fake boobs, butt lift.
What else have we got going on?
Did she have
a booby lift?
I think maybe she had implants and got them taken out and then had a lift.
Okay. And I don't know.
I think the badonkadonka was real. I don't know.
Anyway, she's had a little bit, but she revealed
on X, aka Twitter,
that she got a new piercing.
And she described it as,
I got my butt crack pierced.
And then one follower made a comment on this post
saying photo or it didn't happen.
And so she just uploaded a photo.
And it happened.
And it happened.
So I can't find an unblurred one,
but if you imagine this is her lower back,
this big tattoo there,
there's the tops of her cheeks
and there's a bar right between the cheeks.
The bar goes up, up.
The bar isn't connecting the butt cheeks.
It's in the crack.
It's in the crack.
Vertical.
Yeah.
And it's like, it's like those flat, you know,
people get them on the back of their neck or...
You see the odd neck one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At the base of the neck.
When I was growing up with my emo-y, gothy friends,
quite a few friends had clavicle piercings.
Brother, ew.
Like right through the skin.
They just sort of lay flat.
Right.
So she's done that.
She's pierced a butt crack.
Weird. She just ran out of flat. Right. So she's done that. She's pierced a butt crack. Weird.
She just like ran out of
areas?
Ideas?
She's like,
I really want a piercing
but there's no room left.
Does this one have a name?
Crack.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Because you know how piercings
are always got like
Labrette or Monroe
or industrial.
Or Prince Albert.
I had a snake bite.
Which one was a snake bite
in the corner of the mouth?
Yeah, on the bottom. Okay. I used to wear a. Which one was a snake bite? In the corner of the mouth? Yeah, in the bottom.
Okay.
I used to wear a ring in it.
Expert issues have issued an urgent health warning over the butt piercing.
Wait a minute, I'm clicking.
I'm going to get this skinny on what's wrong with this.
Thank you.
Because it's sort of an area of lint collection, shall we say.
And it's an area that, you know, can get sweaty and fluffy.
Also, like, you'd be knocking that so much.
My thing is, like, you know,
because I had a chipped tailbone years ago,
and I still feel it now if I, like, rock back,
if I, like, roll back,
or if I'm doing, like, abs or something at the gym,
I can still feel it.
You would feel it when you rolled back, this little...
And it's an area
like... There would be a pull
in certain...
Like when you stretch or
turn around. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So here's the gritty.
Brian Keith Thompson, who owns
Body Electric Tattoo in Los Angeles,
has said that Cardi B's gluteal
microdermals have a high risk
of infection.
This is due to the jewelry's close proximity to the anus,
as well as its lengthy healing process that can take sometimes at least a year.
Those things are really hard to heal.
You've got to give it your all.
He also said piercings in that area can scar really badly.
He urged the general public to stay clear of the trend unless they're experienced with microdermal piercings.
Because she has also revealed
that she has some
genitalia piercings as well.
Right.
So she's really
doing it all.
She's doing everything.
Yep.
She's had a throat piercing.
What?
What?
In the throat.
Surely just through the neck.
Oh, no.
Eyebrow, lips, hips, belly button.
She calls it coochie.
And now the boss crack.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley.
From Vaughn's free trial of Microsoft Word, this is the top six.
Top six reasons an over 70 jury
isn't great news.
There's calls for jury duty cut-off
age to increase to 72 from
65.
It must be hard for them to get juries
because, I don't know, like nobody wants
to do that. God no.
Like a light fur trial
would be fine, but
most of them are grim.
Yeah, I don't want to be.
And your work doesn't have to pay you, eh?
If you take time off for jury duty and they pay you a pittance.
Most workplaces will just let you go and it's kind of considered their civic duty.
See, because you wouldn't want to use up your bloody annual leave on it, would you?
But yeah, I think what they do pay you for transfer, it's like, it's nothing.
Yeah, that's how I got out of mine.
I got caught up when I lived in Wellington, which is like, I would have been in my very early 20s.
Yeah.
And they said, they give you an allowance if you have to drive far.
So I gave them my parents' address saying I had to drive over from the Wairarapa.
Yeah.
And they said, oh, don't bother.
So wait, you were considering fraud?
I was doing a light bit of fraud.
Yeah, I was trying
to get a little bit more money.
You got out of it.
And then they were like,
don't bother.
Yeah.
It's too hard basket.
We can't afford the gas
to send her over.
Yeah, I've got out of it twice.
Because of work?
Because of work.
So next time I have to do it.
But the key is,
take yourself off
the electoral roll
between elections.
That's how they get you. Oh, between elections and then get between elections. That's how they get you.
Oh, between elections and then get back on.
That's how they get you.
Oh, just re-sign up each election.
Yeah, so I don't know if you can take yourself off the roll
and say you've moved to Australia.
Like fraud with Fletch, Horn and Hayley.
That would be my ticket to get out of it.
I've just never been asked.
No.
I wouldn't be afraid to go full Liz Lemon on it either
and turn up in a costume and act like a complete lunatic
just to get out of it
well that's my next step
well National MP
I'm actually screaming
sorry I'm just live blogging this entire trial
that's okay right
National MP
Carl Bates or as he was known
when he was a younger man Master Bates
wanted to increase
the age to 72
from 65
he says our seniors
are involved in running
our sports organisations
community organisations
many churches
across the country
and the like
so why
why does it cut off
at 65
yeah
and if they've retired
if they're retired
you know
they don't have to
get out of work
I think most of them
would find it interesting
numbers well the top 6 reasons a over 72 jury isn't great news they don't have to get out of work. I think most of them would find it interesting.
Number, well, the top six reasons a over 72 jury isn't great news.
Oh, okay.
It's not all perfect.
Number six on the list.
My experience with people that age,
they're not off watching exciting television shows.
So imagine how quickly they're not off
in a boring court procedure.
Yeah, quite a bit of snoring on the go.
Yeah, a lot of sitting around,
a lot of doing nothing.
It's not as exciting as Lincoln Lawyer either.
It's not.
That would be my kind of court case.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's never that exciting.
What court case my mother-in-law became fascinated with last year?
Polkinghorn.
Polkinghorn.
She was there every day.
That's right.
She was into that.
Volunteering.
Voluntarily.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
She wasn't on the jury.
Driving 200 kilometres.
That's wild, eh? And then staying up here in hotels to be able to go. And then she made yeah. She wasn't on the jury. Driving 200 kilometres. That's wild, eh?
And then staying up here
in hotels to be able to go.
And then she made friends
that she's still friends.
She went out to dinner with them
a couple of weeks back.
And I think she's up again
soon to catch up with them.
I mean, most white women
just listen to a true crime podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, she was living
a true crime podcast.
She was living one.
She said people would nod off,
like some of the old people
that just obviously go,
not on the jury,
but obviously just go to watch would nod off. Number of the old people That just obviously go Not on the jury But obviously just go to watch
Would nod off
Number five on the list
Of the top six reasons
A 72 year old jury
Isn't always great news
Loud smelly farts
That they don't even know
They're doing
Oh yeah
They just escape
They escape out
And then they're like
Oh
Oh god
Sorry
And they're the only person
In the room
They're like
That simply can't have
Come out of me
Number four on the list Of the top six reasons a 72-year-old jury isn't always great news.
Hearing.
They're always cranking.
Can you turn that up?
I can't hear a thing.
Sorry, can you get them to repeat that?
Yeah.
Play the murder video again.
Yeah, and you're like, for God's sake.
Shh, shh, shh, everyone.
Again.
Go to Triton Hearing, will you?
Go to, I don't need hearing aids.
Number three on the list of the top six reasons a 72-year-old juror isn't always great news.
They think everybody needs a stint in jail.
They just think everybody,
God, they could do with a stint in jail.
They think it solves everything
because they've never been in jail.
They don't know what it's like,
but they assume it's, you know,
you go in, they wash you of your sins
and then you come out and you're good again.
Number two on the list of the top six reasons
a 72-year-old juror isn't always great news.
They're in no hurry to get to a verdict
because at the courtroom, there's free bickies,
endless cups of tea,
and they've made some friends at the courthouse.
Oh, yeah, nice.
It's actually quite a nice afternoon.
Like, that's what, when this popcorn case ended,
my mother-in-law was a bit like,
oh, hope something else really bad happens.
Yeah. So I can go and sit. So I can pass the time. Yeah, for weeks and weeks and weeks at a bit like, oh, I hope something else really bad happens. Yeah.
So I can go and sit.
So I can pass the time.
Yeah, for weeks and weeks and weeks at a time with my new pals.
And number one on the list of the top six reasons a 72-year-old juror isn't always great news.
Look, I'm not saying they're racist.
But I wouldn't want to be a person any darker than pale up there
because they probably already decided you did it.
Yeah.
You know, just a bit like that.
That's a nice top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Why?
Why do people do this?
They've made a list, and I think when you make a list,
you give it a nice round number.
I mean, the top six is a bit spicy.
You know, it should be five, but here we are.
You know the origins of the top six.
I don't.
I'm new to radio.
The top six in six was its original title,
and it always happened in the sixth hour.
Oh, that makes sense.
Between six and seven.
Okay.
So six and six.
Yeah, that's how we got there.
Yeah, okay.
But usually a list would be five, 10, 25, 100.
Yeah.
Well, Condé Nast.
Condé Nast?
Condé Nasty. Condé Cond Nast? Conday Nasty.
Conday Nasty.
Conday Nasty.
It's a very prestigious travel website.
Been around for donkey's years.
Well, it used to be a magazine for years and years.
They always release lists,
like the best places to travel in this year
and the best in the...
They've done a list of the most beautiful places in the world.
The 57 most beautiful places in the world.
Oh, no, like 57?
57? That would be
right if the year was 2057.
Exactly, but we ain't there yet.

Beautiful place to visit.
Oh, my God.
It's got Rip Curl.
It's got Quicksilver.
Look on the horizon.
Some dickies.
Oh, I love those dickies.
A lovely pair of dickies.
I was reading last year the biggest destination in the entire world, Spain.
Really?
Yes, yeah.
20 tourists for every resident.
And I think it was Barcelona or Malaga or one of those places,
or maybe just the whole of Spain.
Like that's how insane tourism is.
It's a beautiful place.
They're banning Airbnbs like in a few years.
Yeah.
Because it's just like, I was reading an article.
One woman said, I don't have neighbours.
Like all my neighbours are bringing suitcases up the stairs
and they change every couple of days.
Yeah, it would be annoying.
It would be annoying, yeah.
Don't be so beautiful.
Do you know what I mean?
So, I mean, I really recommend checking out this list
because it's just beautiful.
The Cameron Highlands in Malaysia,
Caucasus Mountains in Georgia,

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Silly little po.
Silly little po.
It is so silly, silly, silly.
That silly little po. Silly little po. It's about work wives or work husbands.
Would you care if your partner had a work wife?
This is my work wife.
Oh, I've heard so much about you.
We just hang out.
We banter all day.
Someone messaged in the text machine saying, I don't mind the husband's work wife. Oh, I've heard so much about you. We just hang out. We banter all day. Someone messaged in the text machine saying,
I don't mind the husband's work wife.
She's lovely and she's 70.
Oh, yeah, that's lovely.
Yeah, right.
Well, until you find out that they're actually together.
Yeah, they're in the filing room.
Well, 52% of people said they would care.
I am really surprised at how split this is.
Wait, how many percent?
52?
52% said yes.
They would care.
Yeah.
I thought it would be like, oh, who cares?
I know people that are like, that's my work wife,
but they don't have a partner.
Yeah, or it's not like, yeah, they have a wife already.
Yeah, I have a wife at home and Fletch is my work wife.
Yes.
But see, that's funny.
But if I was female, would you say that?
No.
No.
No, I'm not your work wife.
I would never refer to Hayley as my work wife.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I just wouldn't.
No.
52%, 48% said no, they wouldn't care.
Claire said, yes, I care and I'd flip some effing tables
Oh
What a feisty mamacita
She doesn't want anyone
Coming for her man
No she doesn't want any
Labels of the like
As long as he's not
Screwing them
Says Megan
Well yeah that's
That's quite integral
To not being bothered by it
It's only fair as
I've had a work husband
At every job
Right
Right
It's just by title alone
By the sounds of things.
Autumn says,
my work husbands keep leaving me.
Maybe I'm the problem.
Oh, yeah.
Sounds like you are.
Sorry.
Or the employer.
It might not be your problem.
It might not be your problem.
No.
Autumn, it might be them.
Hannah said,
because they're bound to sleep with them at some point
if they're referring to them as their work wife, so I've got a problem. Bound to. No such thing as a platonic
work husband, work wife relationship. Lol. Wow.
I mean, how many relationships start in the workplace, right? Yes.
You could be with your work wife or husband more than your actual
partner. Yeah, for sure. At awake time, not counting time asleep.
Yes. Yeah. Oh yeah, totally. If you're
at work eight hours a day. Yeah. You're not
at home eight hours a day with your
partner. No, not sort of
uninterrupted. Yeah.
Renee said, I voted yes as I work with
my actual husband, so it would have been awkward.
Had you have said no.
Yeah. Because I'm cute and funny
and he can love only me. He's not
allowed to have a work husband, said Olivia.
Okay.
She's claiming there to be everything he could ever require.
My husband had a work wife and then he left me for her
and now they're married.
Okay, well, we're pouring gasoline on the...
That could seem like we kind of did the cylinder poll
because of you or about you, but we didn't.
We didn't.
We didn't.
Tony said it's not okay for him to have a work wife
because I'm too possessive,
but it is okay for me to have a work husband.
Okay.
It's a bit of a double standard there.
Is that cool, having a cake and eating it too?
It is.
I think it is.
Lottie, I have my work wives.
We give off a strong coven energy.
Wives?
A work witch wife coven.
Okay.
And I love his work wife of 10 plus years.
She was even one of my brides.
She's even going to be one of my bridesmaids
next year. Oh, nice. Oh, that's nice.
I have a work spouse that's 100%
platonic, says Pam. I would never jeopardise
their actual marriage. It's just about us getting
hungry at the same time and liking the same food.
Yeah, and you've got to get on with the people you work
with, don't you? Oh, God, yeah. Otherwise, lunch
times will be a bit boring. What a
punish.
There you go. Today's silly little poll.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Now, I say this with love and respect to our vegetarian listeners.
Good morning.
Good morning.
We hope you're not feeling dizzy when you get out of bed.
Light-headed.
Wow.
Weak.
Yeah.
You know.
Low in iron.
Low in iron.
Fragile.
Lethargic.
Vegetarians love this banter.
They love it. They love it. They love it. Get some chickpeas in iron. Low in iron. Fragile. Lethargic. Vegetarians love this banter.
They love it.
They love it.
They love it.
Get some chickpeas in you.
Well, there was a study.
This study is out of Poland.
Oh, Jesus.
Spit it out, mate.
This is a study from Poland that took 404,
I think four too many showed up.
Do you know what I mean?
They were sort of anticipating.
404 heterosexual meat eaters.
That's how they described them.
204 women, 200 men.
That's a horny way of being described.
That's how you describe yourself.
A heterosexual meat eater.
I imagine a dinosaur.
Yep.
The minute anyone's like, they were a meat eater.
That's how people describe dinosaurs.
Yeah.
Even now we have our modern carnivores. Yeah. There's still something way better about Celia Simpson. They were a plant eater. That's how people describe dinosaurs. Yeah. Even now we have our modern carnivores.
Yeah.
There's still something way better about,
so you're saying they were a plant eater,
you're like Brachiosaurus.
Yeah, same.
Plant eater, yeah.
Meat eater, Tyrannosaurus rex.
Do you know what's amazing about the 404 heterosexual meat eaters
that they gathered?
Between the ages of 18 and 82.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
What they did is they got,
it was an online experiment.
They took these heterosexual meat eaters and they showed them a range, all single, by the wow, okay. What they did is they got, it was an online experiment they took these heterosexual meat eaters
and they showed them a range, all
single by the way, singles
they showed them a range
of dating profiles that were
all vegetarian. Okay.
And they had to rate,
they had to put on their profile their reason
behind being a vegetarian, whether it was
health motivated
like I want to feel better, whether it was ethically
motivated or it was a cultural
thing. Right.
And then they rated how these heterosexual
meat eaters rated them. Oh, and then
the fourth option was not saying, sorry, vegetarian.
Like not actually disclosing it, but they were
vegetarian. But you could tell.
There were signs.
There were beads in the hair.
Yeah. That's all I'm were beads in the hair. Yeah.
That's all I'm going to say.
Really?
Yeah, there was one, they had arm up, there was hair.
Do you know what, there's just a few signs.
There were signs.
We jest.
We jest.
Now, those that didn't disclose their vegetarianism
were seen as more favourable
and more like the meat eaters were happier to be partners with them.
Basically, it deduced that the meat eaters
saw the vegetarians as less desirable,
less favourable as a partner.
And it wasn't because they were like, ooh.
It was more that they were like, too difficult.
Yeah.
Honestly, they would have to be so hot
for me to be like,
I'm going to have to cook two things or...
Yeah.
I have to eat less meat.
I've got to cook their thing in the pan before I cook my thing in the pan
because I don't want to do the thing.
They would have to have so many sneaky burgers.
Yeah.
So, oh, I'm not giving up meat.
We just have to cohabitate.
You said really hot.
Dude, how hot?
No, there's just not.
There's just, to be honest, there's just not someone hot enough.
So, we didn't disclose was totally fine.
Yeah.
Cultural reasons was the next one that we're like, okay, well I can, you know, obviously
I'm not going to make you eat meat.
Then from that was the ethically motivated, like, you know, the animals or the environment.
The one that they found the most distinct, like the one that they were like, oh God,
is those that were doing it for health reasons.
That thought that not eating meat was a better choice.
Because I guess then they're going to be like.
Then again, you're going to get all of your meals judged.
Judged and that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Carwain, producer Carwain, who is a vegetarian.
Yes, hello.
Our show vegetarian.
When you were single, would you put that you were a vegetarian on your profile?
Would that be something you'd lead with?
No, this is why this is such a wild study to me.
Because even if I said that I was vegetarian,
because I think it's maybe hinged, they ask a lot of details.
Yes, right.
I wouldn't say why I was vegetarian.
Like, it's not my personality.
But does it, like, is this study interesting, though?
Because if you were single, you might rethink even saying that
because that could put people off.
You might be cutting yourself out of a whole range
of meat-eating heterosexual singles.
Yeah, I mean, maybe,
but also maybe that's a good judge of character.
They don't want to put the effort in for me?
Okay.
What about the fact,
what about your rich European boyfriend
that you've got at the moment?
What is his highfalutin European family
who eat primarily veal and venison, the two Vs?
You could have cold cuts.
So many cold cuts.
Yeah.
We eat vegetarian
at home and he cooks all of our meals
so he cooks vegetarian. Wait, so you've made him
into a vegetarian? He cooks all of your meals.
Yeah, he does. But he would
eat meat if we go out.
Yeah. Does he cook
your meals and then put
some bacon on? No, he doesn't care.
Like a side of ham?
Nah.
A side of ham is the saddest meat serving I've ever heard.
But it's easy if you're cooking.
If you're cooking a vegetarian meal.
You cook a
what are you vegetarians eat again? Dahl.
Yeah. That's how it's pronounced.
Carrots and stuff. Supposedly carrots and dahl.
Carrots and dahl and rice. And then he's like
and I've just got myself a little side of shaved ham.
The saddest thing I can imagine.
Is that even a meat?
Yeah, not really.
Yeah, it's a meat.
He's not eating luncheon.
It's a nice easy meat sauce for your boyfriend
when he's cooking you your veggie meal.
It's a nice beautiful side of shaved ham.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. So I mentioned before this study that revealed that men take breakups harder than women.
They find them more painful.
They're more likely to feel lonely afterwards and sadder.
Apparently this is due to the fact that heterosexual men are more dependent on their partners to fulfill their emotional needs.
Right.
So as women in heterosexual relationships,
we are fulfilling your needs more than you are ours.
And in this study, does it depend who broke up with who?
No, it didn't at all, which is interesting.
And I, yeah, no, it didn't.
Okay.
And they also said that women are less emotionally invested
in the relationships in general than men,
which I found that interesting. Yeah. Emotionally invested in the relationships in general than men.
Interesting. Which I found that interesting.
Yeah.
Emotionally invested.
I mean, you need us.
What can I say?
A relationship to work, the man has to love the woman more than the woman loves the man.
How did you get there?
Well, no, you said we're emotionally invested.
Yeah.
Or someone needs to love someone more than
the other person
I mean ideally
you love each other equally
but I don't think
you need to
I don't think
for the relationship
to work
I mean it's not a competition
it sounds like a competition
it feels like a competition
it feels like a competition
I'm about to love you so hard
but if you
if you equate
emotional investment
to love
it's different isn't it
right
because they're saying
men are more
this is in general
it's a huge generalisation but they're saying men are more, this is in general, it's a huge generalization,
but they're saying men are more emotionally invested
in the relationship than women.
So if you did emotional investment being love,
it would say that men love the women
more than women love men.
I think if I take from this study,
the men need the women more than the women need the men.
Right.
Okay, right.
I'm just saying, you know,
they rely on the women
for a lot of their
emotional fulfillment.
Whereas women,
we can get it from other places.
We get it everywhere.
We get it from our friends
a lot more.
We get it from our family
a lot more.
We can get it from
a lot of places.
Whereas men go like,
this is my girl.
I'm going to get it all from her.
Oh.
So when we leave
or you leave,
you're going to take it
a little bit harder.
Right.
Because we've left
a bigger hole in your life
than you have ours.
Oh, this feels really good to just say it all.
Anyway, this study aside, because probably you might
be listening to this and be like, no, not true at all.
That's fine.
But I want to know, when did the guy take it harder?
Like, when did he take the breakup a lot harder
than you?
Maybe even if he was the one who ended it.
Or the reason why you ended it.
Like, because he was useless.
Yeah, maybe he was useless or he cheated on you
and then you break up with him and he's like, boo-hoo.
Because apparently guys take it worse.
Yeah, I know.
Someone just quoted me saying,
how'd you get there when you said that you need to love more?
I'm not sure who that message came from,
but it does sound like a guy who has had that said to them.
How'd you get there?
I just logically walked you through how I got there.
How the hell did you get there?
And you're like, how'd you get there?
God, you would be so lost without me.
Okay, well, me.
How'd you get there?
How'd you get there?
My ex cheated on me with my, oh no, that was from the work wife thing.
Ignore me.
This is what I want to know.
Did the guy in the breakup take the breakup harder?
He was more distraught.
Right.
Maybe acted out a little bit afterwards.
It is weird when you see from the outside
a relationship where the guy
doesn't seem to be putting as much into it.
And then- Is devastated when it's over. Is devastated when it's over. And you're like- But what were you doing? During. relationship where the guy doesn't seem to be putting as much into it and then
It's devastated when it's over
But what were you doing during?
Yeah, just a cruiser
who kind of couldn't read the room that
they weren't
doing enough. If you're a woman and you're listening
to this and it's ringing bells, feel free to just
have a rant, have a vent. This is
what we want to know this morning. 0800
DARS at M. You can text through 9696.
When did he take the breakup worse than you did?
Men in general are more emotionally invested in relationships.
Therefore, when the relationship is over,
they are more devastated.
They wear it a little harder.
That's what we're asking you.
When did the guy wear the breakup a bit harder than the gal
in the heterosexual setup.
Some of these situations that are messaging in
are very, very intense.
And some of them I feel genuinely sorry
for the people texting in.
My ex-husband had an emotional affair.
When I found out I moved out for a while
to give him some space while we worked it out,
he started sleeping with her.
Oh, God.
And after a year, he said we were still working things out.
He couldn't choose between the two of us.
So two years after my husband not choosing me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was like, no.
And I left permanently.
He was absolutely distraught.
Sent me messages, emailing me, dropping stuff off my house.
What?
Meeting up with my family without me.
Oh, God.
He was sleeping with someone else.
You made your choice.
Back when he had the choice to make.
Yeah.
It's also not really a choice.
He made the choice the moment he started his emotional affair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm surprised it waited that long.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it.
There's a lot of emotions involved in it.
Yeah.
But dragging it out for two years is very unfair on the other person.
My ex took a day off work, cut his long hair short.
He'd had...
Why are you laughing?
Just the idea of him being like,
cutting off his hair.
I don't need this hair.
Got his ears pierced and started getting tattoos
every other week.
Oh, okay.
We hadn't even been in a relationship for a year.
Oh, wow.
Full reinvention.
Yeah.
This one literally hot off the press.
Dated a lad in high school For a year when I was 16
I broke up with him
And I was honest with him
Because I realised
I was lesbian
Oh okay
Of course you are
You're listening to this show
Never got over it
Still hasn't dated anyone else
We're now 26
And he said
I'm just gonna wait
Because you'll come back
Because we're soulmates
We're soulmates
That's not how it works
I'm gay bro
Like
I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah, it's not.
Nah.
Jeepers.
My ex-husband started an affair three weeks after we got married.
It lasted six months before I found out he would bring her around while I was at work.
Oh, my gosh.
What?
And then he took the breakup pad.
I was a nurse.
I worked afternoons.
Now, he had put down our 18-month-old and then get into bed with this other person.
Oh, my God.
I ended things and he played the victim on it, left me gifts, letters, lots of please, please, please.
Oh, my God.
Absolutely.
Come on.
Please.
There's so many of them.
Somebody said, I definitely took my last breakup worse than my ex
18 months later I'm still not over it
Meanwhile two weeks later she was back engaged
To her ex
She moved on swiftly
Feel it dude
I love this text, not enough information I want to know more
He took it harder even though he broke up with me
Four times
Four times
And then at the and he's like,
hey, what are you doing?
That's an ego,
like that's an ego thing, right?
Yeah, totally.
Jeepers.
Broke up with a guy
who continued to go
to my parents' house
and cry to my mum about it.
Don't start me on why
they ever opened the door
to him after the first time.
Mum was always like,
poor him, he misses you.
But it was confirmation
that I'd done the right thing
because that's not
a healthy thing to do.
Yes, exact claim.
Yeah.
It got so bad with my boyfriend,
he just refused to work or really do anything.
I put him on a bus back to his hometown.
I'll come get you in a week.
And then after a week, I ended it.
And then he asked me for more money
because I don't have a job
and a new Xbox game just came out.
Someone texted a guy here.
I did had a breakup.
I had a breakup,
but I really didn't care.
I didn't care about the relationship at all.
But a week later,
she was already dating someone new
and then I really did care.
This checks out.
Yes.
The moment that you see them moving on,
you're like, what?
Yeah.
It's fine if they move on with a minger,
but if they move on with someone minger but if they move on
with someone hot it's not it's not easy to take that really is it yeah i i wouldn't even say i
was dating this guy i went like on four dates with him and then was just like i don't nah i'm like
yeah just call the dates he took it very hard big ego yeah big kick to the ego apparently yeah
um that's why you've just got to fake your own death somebody said that's a great idea He took it very hard. Big ego. Yeah. Big kick to the ego, apparently. Yeah.
That's why you've just got to fake your own death.
Somebody said that's a great idea. They move on a lot.
Go to Mexico.
Yeah.
That's literally the only option.
Someone said the common thread seems to be here
that boys just want what they can't have.
And when you tell them they can't have it,
they pack a little man tent.
Yes.
A little man tent.
We've got some man tenties.
We've got some man tenties.
Not every situation, but man tenties.
Found out my ex had been cheating on and off all of our 19 year relationship.
19.
Dirty dog.
I left him and he was devastated.
Late night phone calls, flowers, gifts.
Split with his partner.
Split with 17 year old.
Okay, it gets complicated after that. but yeah, he took it harder.
And he was the one cheating the whole time.
Yeah.
Wild.
We've got another text from lesbians as well.
When the woman turns lesbian, the guy just really is like, no, no, no, no.
I would have thought that would have been easy to take because you can't compete with that.
Yeah, you're not what they need.
That's black and white.
You can't handle this.
100%, but you're taking
a modern, very sensible
approach to it. You've got to think like a
caveman. You'd be like, my doodle
did this. How bad
is it?
You have to read this top text.
I lived in
America and dated someone from there and he was obsessed
with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. And then when I
broke up with him, he took it really bad and I feel like
he only dated me because I was from New Zealand and when we
broke up it was only because he lost his connection
to Middle Earth.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Are we ready? I'm ready.
Yep.
What's your jobby?
What's your jobby?
What's your jobby? What's your jobby? What's your jobby? What's your jobby? Will we get it?
Okay, joining us to play first, What's Your Jobby? Molly, good morning.
Good morning, how are you?
Really good, Molly.
Molly, first question. Does your work have good sharp knives in the drawer?
I wouldn't say good.
Okay.
So it's an office.
It's an office.
What are you trying to rule out? A butchery?
Yeah.
She said yes, they're very good.
Because then we would know she had a passion for sharp knives and there's only certain industries you need
a passion for a sharp knife. Like you said, butchery,
chefs. If you work at a cafe, you need great
sharp knives. You know, we would know
hospitals need good sharp knives. Molly, what kind of footwear do you wear for your job?
Great question!
Thank you.
It varies, but it's, I don't want to give it away,
but I can wear pumas, or I can wear just some sandals,
or I can wear some heeled boots.
Holy.
Is that sort of like your seasonal spread there?
So in summer, sandals, winter, heeled boots.
Great question.
Who is teacher?
Yeah.
Because the staff room wouldn't have good sharp knives.
No, God, no.
They're absolutely, they're butter knives.
We've got butter knives.
They'd be terrible.
Or early childhood.
Oh, man. Stop getting these specific ideas in you. God, I'm. Or Early Childhood. Oh, man.
Stop getting these specific ideas in you.
Remember that one time I did?
The one I knew right from the start.
But Molly said, hmm, I don't want to give it away.
Now, why would she say that if she was a teacher?
What shoe would give that away?
She could wear a heeled boot, a sandal, or a sneaker.
But then she was like, oh, I don't want to give it away.
It's not formal.
Heeled boot, sand sandal or sneaker.
I mean, you can wear that in an office.
Yeah.
Hayley, your question.
Oh, Fletch, that was such a great question.
Especially on the back of Vaughan's absolute dud.
Mine was great.
Another dud from Vaughan.
Another dud.
Okay.
Oh, where should I go?
We need to narrow down the industry.
So it's not healthcare because you can't wear a sandal or a boot like that.
It's not food because of the knife situation.
So actually, they're good questions.
We want to go education.
Do you work with children?
She's not working with animals, not in a sandal.
No, that's actually a good call.
Safety-wise, a sandal's not going to tick anybody's boxes.
You don't want a cow hoof on your sandal.
A heeled boot.
She's giving me, I don't know, I felt advertising from her when she first started talking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would be a right.
Like billboards or something.
Like some kind of advertising agency.
I know someone that works in advertising.
At the start of this year when they went back to work, they got an email saying,
these are the acceptable things to work.
These are not acceptable to wear to work.
But what shoe would give it away?
People are just rocking after summer.
Yeah, an advertising agency, Coke Pender.
I'm just trying to figure out why she would say,
oh, I don't want to give it away.
Do you know what I mean?
Okay, we'll ask the question.
Do you work in an advertising sector?
No.
Yeah, I knew that.
I knew that.
I knew that.
We've just got to go to education, don't we?
Okay.
Okay.
We need to have a guess.
Okay.
What's it going to be?
Molly, is your jobby that of an early childhood educator?
Absolutely not.
Oh, no.
Really?
Okay.
It's a stain she has for children.
Okay, what's your job, Molly?
I'm a probation officer.
Oh!
Oh, we would not have got that.
Wait, you wear sandals?
When I'm in the office for the day, yep.
Oh, yeah.
And you wear pumas for when they break probation and you have to chase them.
Yes, exactly. When you have to chase them. Yes.
When you're in your uniform.
Oh, my God, what a great job.
We never would have guessed that, would we? Great job, Molly.
Oh, Molly, thank you for playing.
Good luck with the rat bags, Molly.
Let's go to Madison.
Good morning, Madison.
Welcome to What's Your Jobby.
Good morning.
I'm going to start.
Do you wear an apron?
Great question.
No, I don't.
No apron.
Well, we've ruled out.
Bunnings.
We've ruled out florists.
Bunnings.
Bunnings. Bunnings. We've ruled out florists. Bunnings.
Bunnings.
Hairdressing.
Madison, can I just hear you?
Can you just tell me?
I just need to hear you.
I just need to read into your soul a bit.
What did you have for breakfast this morning?
I actually haven't eaten breakfast this morning.
I'm on my way to work, pulled over to talk to you guys.
She sounds like a sweetie.
She sounds like a sweetie.
Doesn't prioritise breakfast, though.
I'm fed up. So I don't feel like she's got a physical honour Does your job involve
She might just be about to
After she gets back
Buy a pie and a V
She could be a tradie
Could be a tradie
Because what was your question?
You were an 8 pro
8 pro
Madison does your job involve children?
No it doesn't
Okay
Okay well we've ruled out teachers.
Nursing, teachers, that's all gone, I reckon.
Yeah, no, no, yeah, yeah.
Head towards the trades.
Yeah, you're...
No, I think office-based.
Um, Madison, for your job, do you ever use a calculator?
Yeah, sometimes.
Oh!
Shit!
Okay, so it's office-based.
Yeah, but that didn't...
Okay, we're trying to work out
if it was office or trades.
Both of them would use calculators.
That didn't narrow it down for them.
Yeah.
Okay.
She hasn't eaten.
I think this is a massive clue.
She's in the trades.
Huge clue.
No, she hasn't eaten yet.
Because she said,
I've called over to talk to you guys.
Because breakfast is at work in the office. Nah, if she was a tradie... I mean, if she was a good tradie, she hasn't eaten yet. Because she said, I've pulled over to talk to you guys. Because Greenfist is at work in the office.
Nah, if she was a good trainee, she'd be on site.
Yeah, she's got a box of Nutri-Grain above the fridge at work.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
But what does she do in an office?
Madison's a young person's name too.
You've never met an older Madison.
She's a sweetie.
She's sub-30.
Yeah.
She's the life of the party.
Yeah.
She works on the social council. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, she's on the of the party. Yeah. She works on the social council.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, she's on the work social council.
She's on the social committee.
Yeah, okay.
She works at the library.
Do you know what I mean?
Sometimes she works at the library.
There's like eight libraries left, Hayley.
And what do they need a calculator for?
How many books have we got?
Oh, your calculator.
It's office admin.
Sometimes it's not accounting.
It's not accounting.
It's not relying on it. But if she was an accountant, she'd have formatted cells. So she wouldn't need a calculator. It's office admin. Sometimes it's not accounting. It's not accounting. It's not relying on it.
But if she was an accountant, she'd have formatted sales.
So she wouldn't need a calculator.
Maybe sales?
No, they'd use calculators a lot.
I think she's just, I think she's just.
Just?
Please, don't belittle this woman's career.
I don't mean the word just.
She is.
I think we're just getting too broad.
Okay, well.
Office administrator.
One question left. Executive assistant. What have we got? One question left. No, no, what have we got? Office administrator. One question left.
Executive assistant.
What have we got?
One question left.
No, no, that's it.
One question left.
We're going to take a stab.
We've got to get a guess.
Okay.
A calculator.
Oh, I like assistant.
Go for it, Paul.
She's an executive assistant.
Executive assistant or something.
Yeah, I think she's an executive assistant.
Madison, are you an executive assistant?
You're close.
I'm a senior administrator
for a healthcare organisation.
I mean, if we had have said
office admin, that would have...
I said that! I know!
I was trying to feed the words!
No, it's not enough
information. I'm sorry,
Madison. Thank you. Are we going to Chevy?
Can we play one more?
Come on. We've got to get a win here.
Chevy, good morning.
Good morning. Chevy, do you have a win here. Chevy, good morning. Good morning.
Chevy, do you have a vending machine at your work?
No.
Oh, okay.
Rules out the office.
I reckon she's looking for a small boutique.
I think more boutique.
Florist.
Do you work in retail, Chevy?
No, I don't.
Okay.
Okay, it's not retail and there's no vending machine.
Do you work predominantly out... There would be no vending... Oh, no, no, vending machine. Do you work predominantly outdoors?
There would be no vending...
Oh, no, no, no, sorry.
Do you work predominantly outdoors, Chevy?
Uh, no.
It was an uh.
Okay.
Uh, no.
Should I pop outdoors?
You know it's freight.
It's 50-50.
50 indoors, 50 outdoors.
It's freight.
You know it's freight.
You know she's driving trucks.
No, it's not.
It's freight logistics.
It's sales. It's sales. It's just a sales's driving trucks. No, it's not. It's freight logistics. It's sales.
It's sales.
She's a sales rep.
50% indoors and 50% outdoors.
Yeah.
That's not sales.
Yeah, it is.
It's outdoors in the car.
No.
Oh, no, no, no.
Wait a minute.
Clarification.
I don't count the cars as outdoor.
I don't count that in the car as outdoors.
It's not being inside, is it?
No, no, no.
Can we just get clarification on outside?
When you say outside, Sheva, you're not just saying in a car.
No, outside on my feet.
Yeah, outside on your feet.
Oh, okay.
Half the time outside.
It's courier.
She's a courier.
Hang on.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
She thinks she's a teacher.
There's a sneaker.
It's for free.
We've got a free one.
Oh, yeah, because the teachers go outside.
Teachers don't.
Primary and college don't go out as much as early childhood.
They're taking kids in and out
the whole time.
Okay, Shibby,
are you an early childhood educator?
No, I'm not.
Oh, bugger.
Are you sure?
Have you, like,
checked today if you're not?
What are you?
What's your jobbing?
That is very close.
I'm an after school caregiver.
They are close.
Man, we suck at this game.
Do you work in education? We're so bad at this game. Do your work in education.
We're so bad at this game.
Why did we get so bad at it?
We've lost our vibe.
We've lost our vibe.
Well, that's what you jobby today.
We're going to have to try again next week and try harder to get some better questions.
Yeah, I think we're going to have a brainstorm on Monday.
And I think we'll brainstorm some questions.
We're going to win next week.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Let's brainstorm
because Patsy Ann Sproul,
my mother,
very busy at the moment.
They're selling their house.
It's on the market
so she's got no time
to do anything.
So she's done
some online shopping.
Get a sneaky plug in
for the house.
Yeah,
go to One Roof
and check out Patsy's house.
Yeah,

Featherston. It's beautiful. go to Featherston House. It's a big, house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereabouts? 100 Revan Street, Featherston.
It's beautiful.
Go to Featherston House.
It's a big, beautiful old villa.
She does have Agapanthus in the garden.
I have offered to pop down and take care of that
as I am no fan of Agapanthus.
I know, I know.
You'll see this house and then see where Hayley gets it from.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You will understand.
Be like, wow, the apple didn't even fall from the tree.
I am the apple.
The ground grew up to the apple and held it on the tree.
Yes.
But anyway, usually my mum does her groceries, you know, in person.
She's like me.
She sort of enjoys it, going around, thinking about the meal she's going to cook.
I like, you know, I do too.
I've been in the household shop the last few weeks and I like it.
You go around and you're like, ooh.
Some people don't have the time.
Totally.
I don't know the produce they pick for me.
Well, that's why I don't, yeah.
I'll go myself.
Yeah.
Don't give me the green bananas just because nobody else wants them.
Sometimes, yeah, they do give you duds.
Well, my mum did the online shopping.
It arrived at the house and she did the classic, ordered six mandarins.
Yeah.
And what turned up is six kgs of mandarins.
I had a friend
exactly this last week.
She's like,
what am I going to do
with all these mandarins?
There's so many mandarins.
So my mum and dad,
it's just them.
Just them in the house.
There's no need
for six kgs of mandarins.
And she sent a photo yesterday.
The whole countertop's
just mandarins.
Yeah, see,
I think I've just had
a couple of mandarins.
Well, I thought she could
ship some of them up to you because
you'd hone through. I'd maybe go through
a cagey a week, but not
six. And they don't, how long
is a mandy going to last?
Longer than
others.
Way longer than a banana.
I'm looking at you apricots I purchased on Sunday.
Oh, peaches. I put a peach in the fruit bowl
and it went all like.
Is it because it's mingling with the nannies?
Yes, because I bought a handful of ladyfingers yesterday.
Because I've been buying normal bananas,
but I weigh out my banana.
Yeah.
And now it's too much banana.
So I snap the banana and I leave a little knob of banana and that banana goes to waste.
And there's fruit flies.
So you bought shorter nannies.
So I bought ladyfingers because they're shorter.
Shorter nannies.
Right.
Bought them yesterday, yellow.
This morning, brown.
How? This morning, brown.
It's so quick.
But what kind of mandarins are these that Patsy's
over-ordered?
No, because there's different types.
I don't know if this is...
They look tight. They don't look saggy-waggy.
I don't like a tight-seated mandarin.
I'd just rather not have one, to be totally honest. I don't know if this is... I don't like a tight, seedy mandarin. Yeah. I'd just rather not have one, to be totally honest.
I don't know if this is racist, but...
If it is, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop!
Stop!
Australian mandarins.
Oh, that's not racist.
Are they yuck?
Yuck.
Oh, yeah, Aussie mandarins.
Australian mandarins.
What are they doing?
Yuck.
What are the best ones?
I like the saggy baggies.
They do good mangoes, they do good nannies.
You know the saggy baggies where it's all loose in there?
Super easy to unwrap.
Yeah, they don't come in until like a few months away.
Yeah, winter, eh?
There's more.
What is that you've got?
That heavy on the pith, though.
The saggy baggy mandarin.
That heavy on the pith
when you get the skin off.
If you're in,
where, Featherston?
Featherston.
You're in Featherston.
And you're craving a mandarin.
And also a look at a beautiful villa.
She should run an open home
with free mandarin.
Oh yeah, she should do
free mandarins at the open home. Okay, they've got an open home on Sunday should run an open home with free mandarins. Oh, yeah, she should do free mandarins at the open home.
Okay, they've got an open home on Sunday.
I should just suggest bowls of mandarins.
Everywhere, because they're quite nice.
Because they're a very colourful house.
Yep.
Okay, so we're going to go decorative with these?
Bulk mandarins.
Bulk mandarins.
Okay.
Bowls and bowls of mandarins at my mother's open home on Sunday.

Gen Z.
Well, having read this article,
I kind of understand this.
In America, you're not entitled to any leave.
That's up to you to negotiate.
Yeah, like we've got, it's law, isn't it?
Four weeks minimum is law here.
And that's a case in a lot of countries around the world.
Yeah.
But not every one of them.
I know, and certainly not America.
So when you get a job in America,
you have to say, this is what I want. Yeah, a lot of workplaces will give you a certain amount of them. I know. And certainly not America. So when you get a job in America, you have to say, this is what I want.
Yeah, a lot of workplaces will give you a certain amount of leave.
Right.
But it's not stock standard.
And a lot of the time it's unpaid leave.
Yeah.
Crazy, eh?
Yeah.
That place is cooked.
We're lucky in that regard.
Yeah, it is.
Well, it's because of that and the Gen Z, and I've said it before,
I bloody admire the Gen Z attitude to certain things.
That's what you say to Shannon on the daily, isn't it?
I admire this attitude to recognising that a work-life balance is required.
Yep.
And it's not all about the work, work, work, work, work,
like Rihanna, a classic millennial.
She work, work, work, work, work.
Yeah, that's about the whole of it.
Herself being a billionaire.
Now she's a billionaire, yeah. Ter, worked. Yeah, it's about the holiday. Herself being a billionaire. Now she's a billionaire, yeah,
so.
Yeah,
but is she happy?
Yeah,
she's also happy.
Damn.
Is she fulfilled
a life as a mother?
Yes.
Gen Z have
taken on a new,
invented a new thing
called micro-retirements.
And it might be
between jobs,
it might be
during a job.
Yeah, it's
enjoying a micro-retirement.
It can range from a few
weeks to a year. Okay.
And enjoying your youth rather than
waiting until you're retired to have all this time
when your body aches. Actually, bravo.
Actually, bravo.
Although that's kind of just what the OE is, right?
No, because you work on your OE. No, but you do a few months on the way. Southeast, bravo. Actually, bravo. Although that's kind of just what the OE is, right? No, because you work on your OE.
No, but you do a few months on the way.
Southeast Asia.
Yeah.
I didn't really do an OE.
I've always gone, like, if I can have, I want to do a year away,
but I want to not have to work for it.
Yeah.
And that's currently not lined up.
It's just not possible.
It's just not possible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, these people are working, and they realise that if they are going to have time off, they need to save up. It's just not possible. It's just not possible. So these people are working and they realise
that if they are going to have time off, they need to save
up. So they're
again, micro-retiring. The majority
of them living with their parents.
And then, yeah, a little micro-retirement
and going overseas or going on
a vacation, but being in no rush to
come back. But it has led to a lot of mocking.
Producer Shannon, have you
considered or taken a micro-retirement
as a Gen Z? I will say
two of my best friends have just done this.
My old flatmates, they've both left
Auckland and they've micro-retired.
But if I did that,
I wouldn't have the joy of your company every
day, you guys. Well done, Shannon.
It was very quick. That was really good.
Because I was going to say, this would only work
along certain career paths.
Do you know what I mean?
Like you go to uni and then you might get the job that you were sort of wanting
that would lead you into your thing.
Like that's always been my thing.
I'd be like, I don't know when I would do that.
It would sort of interrupt my flow.
Your career.
Your career.
If you were good enough and you were leaving one job
and you'd applied for another and you got it and you said to them,
I can't start till this date.
Six months time.
But don't like give them a reason why.
They might just assume you're wrapping it up at your last job.
And you just trot off.
And they accept it.
And then you're good, right?
Yeah, that's a good, that's perfect actually.
Or just do OnlyFans.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, it is.
True.
The answer to everything lately.
You can do that from anywhere, right?
I actually think OnlyFans is the answer to so many of life's questions.
Do that because, you know, New Zealand just announced thatans is the answer to so many of life's questions. Do they do that?
Because, you know, New Zealand just announced that we're doing more of these nomad visas.
Yes.
So people can work here and live and spend their money here.
Hang around.
Do they accept OnlyFans creator as a...
Yeah.
Like, I would be so angry if they didn't.
It's taxable income, right?
Exactly.
Okay.
Great stuff.
Well, we saw that guy by that braided river.
You know, they were making money, weren't they?
In New Zealand, enjoying our beautiful vistas
and making a bit of money on the side.
Somebody said, I used to have many retirements all the time.
I used to work in Yachting.
I'd work for a year or two.
It's pretty intense.
You get paid for the whole time that you're working
and then take six months off in tropical locations
and know all the people with access to the boats
that the rich people aren't on and have a place to stay.
It's a bit like people that work on fishing boats or the fly in, fly out mine jobs.
I was going to say the miners and the fishing boats, right?
They work so hard.
Yeah, two months on and then you just have a month in Bali micro-retiring.
God, it's starting to sound like they've really got it right.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Time for the impossible Fun and topic
Yeah
Been a while
Saw this last night
I was like
What a weird story
Same
What a weird story
Coronation act
Coronation street actor
I don't know who this guy is
I do
Jack P. Shepard
David Platt
I grew up with
Coronation street
Is that same
But is that show
Still going
Yeah
It's Gail's youngest son
I always remember
Mum watched it Which one was G it's Gail's youngest son. I always remember mum watched it. I don't know which one was Gail.
Just Gail from Coro.
Gail, Coronation Street. So, someone died.
I remember Gail.
I remember Gail. Of course you remember
Gail. Gail. Well, that's her
young son. So, this actor has been
on Coronation Street since he was a child.
Forever. And now
20, 30 years later, he is one
of the core cast. He's still on there.
So he never met a Kiwi fan.
A Kiwi fan who was apparently a postman in New Zealand.
Such a massive fan.
When he passed away, he left him 5,000 pounds in his will.
It was a percentage of his total estate.
His wife said, yeah, a fan died and gave him 10%
of his estate, which was five grand, such as.
5,000 pounds.
So that's 10,000 New Zealand dollars.
Yeah. Never met him
just like the cut of his jib.
But he was a character. This would be like somebody
in England dying and leaving
Chris Warner $5,000.
Also, this character is core cast in Coronation Street,
and they make a fear bop.
I mean, he's been working for all these years.
He doesn't need this money.
He must receive and be like, all right.
Do you think the wife's like, oh, okay.
What?
I guess I'll fulfill your wishes.
Very interesting.
Isn't it wild?
Just an interesting thought process to be like.
See, in my mind, this guy didn't have a wife or
children. But didn't you say his wife?
No, no, no, the actor's wife.
Oh, right. Was the first person that talked about
it and then he's talked about it on a podcast, which is
why it's news. It happened a few years ago,
but I wouldn't hear the story at that
stage. Because I wondered how this became a
news story. Yeah, he's talked about it.
Some Kiwi passed away and left him money in the will.
And left him 10,000 New Zealand dollars or about 5,000 pounds.
Did he say what he did with it?
Nah.
Just absorbed it?
You sort of donate it, wouldn't you?
You donate it.
If you were going to talk about it, you donate it, right?
Yeah.
It's so interesting.
Or would you have a holiday because this guy from New Zealand loved you so much,
you're honouring his...
10K.
You'd be like, man, yeah, let's go to Spain for the weekend and go crazy.
Why are you going to Spain and going crazy?
I was going to go to New Zealand.
Well, you'd go to New Zealand.
Oh, yeah, go to New Zealand.
That'd be great.
Meet his family or something.
Yeah.
Oh, who knows?
That's going to be weird.
It leads us onto the impossible phone,
or if when you were left something in a will from a person you never met.
Yeah, so I mean...
People get left stuff from their
grandparents and little bits and pieces and stuff
but we'd want to know when you'd never met
them. It was a big surprise. Or like you get
something left in a will from some great uncle
or great great... Who?
And you decide, I've never met this person in my life.
And then all of a sudden you might have
like money. Yeah, so my dad's uncle's
brother was married to this woman
you know, like that thing, and then she died.
Great acting there. I thought you were about to tell us a personal story.
Thank you. I went to drama school.
You were like, my dad's uncle's brother.
That's how I would tell the story. And I was drawing the line.
I was married to this woman. I was like, fantastic. Where's this going?
And it was a lie. And in her will, she left me
all of her clothes. You hear about this
happening, like, carers or people
that, like, look after people
and they don't have anyone and they're
like you know what this is a good person who's working hard i'm gonna leave them some money and
you hear of these people coming into like tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars just because
but i don't really know that person they were a neighbor or they were a friend to someone
yeah somebody else heard apparently took his family to florida with the money and that when
the someone messaged that in that's what Jack did with the money that he got from the Kiwi post
so it wasn't Jack
that donated to charity
it's really disappointing
that he didn't donate it
that's what they said
that disappointed in him
yeah wow
okay
interesting
I love that
went to Florida
it's so funny
of all places
it's so funny
they go to Disney World
or something
in Florida
he's taken his family
and his kids
he's probably gonna
wild you enjoy Space Mountain that's on us that posting from New Zealand go to Disney World or something in Florida. He's taking his family and his kids. He's probably going to. Wild.
Hey, you enjoy Space Mountain.
That's on us.
That posting from New Zealand
would have loved this.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my God, what a wild story.
Okay, well,
it is the impossible
fun and topic.
We want you to give us
a call now or text through
0800-DARLS-AT-M 9696.
Were you left
something in a will
from someone
you'd never met before?
Or hardly knew? Or you barely knew from a grain from someone you'd never met before? Or hardly knew?
You barely knew from a grain of salt.
Give us a call.
The Impossible Phonotopic, a wild story involving a New Zealand man
that died a couple of years ago.
This story's come out on a podcast in the UK.
It's an actor from Coronation Street.
He plays David Platt, who is like, the Platt family is like,
they were huge. When I was growing up, my parents were from Coronation Street. Who plays David Platt, who is like, the Platt family is like, they were huge.
When I was growing up, my parents were watching Coronation Street.
The Platt girl got pregnant as a teenager.
And that was the thing, you know?
And then now that baby is one of the main characters.
And the brother is this guy who plays David, who got Team K from a random Kiwi fan in the will.
Yeah, who died.
So this is a question for the anonymous phone-in topic.
Have you been left something in a well by someone that you didn't know or that you never met?
And there's a few messages in.
We've got a phone call.
Anonymous.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hello.
It's not impossible.
Was this one of your husband's relatives? Yeah. Hello. It's not impossible. Was this one of your husband's relatives?
Yeah, yeah.
Quite a few years ago.
And she just used to ride her horse past his house, sort of rural area,
and say hey to him and have a bit of a chat.
And when he died, he just left his house in the wheelchair.
The house?
Yeah.
Wait, so how was she related to him?
She wasn't.
She just said hello to him.
She was just a neighbour.
She just talked to him just when she was fighting past.
Used to say, oh, hey, how you going, blah, blah.
And he'd be like, oh, hello.
And then he was obviously really lonely and had no one else to leave it to.
So left it to her.
So all she did was she took the time to be nice and...
Wait, was she hot?
I don't know.
I've never met her.
No, you know what?
He could have had a crush on her.
She could have been hot.
I'm just saying.
That's all right.
So the moral of the story, Anonymous,
is talk to old, lonely people.
Yeah, I do it all the time, hoping for the best.
See, I think you're doing it to get the money.
She was just doing it out of the kindness of her own heart.
And if you believe in karma, it's probably not how it works.
It's probably not coming your way.
That is so wild.
A whole house.
Was your husband's relative just completely shocked?
Yeah, she never saw it coming.
It was kind of like, you know, they got the knock at the door and,
hello, is this you? You've been
left something in someone's will.
Like a movie.
Can we ask, what did she
do with the house? Did she sell it or
keep it? I think
she sold it and then bought something
else. Was it
in good nick, do you know? Was it like
Oh, I think it was probably a little
bit rumpty dumpty. A little bit rumpty dumpty.
Yeah. Okay.
That's fascinating. A whole house is...
Anonymous, this is such a wild story.
Love it. I know. How crazy.
It's wicked. When we first got told
it, we were like, no way. And then we
saw her parents and they were like, yeah, it happened.
It happened. I just love the idea of
ZM listeners today going around,
hello, how are you?
Hello to old people.
Are you lonely?
Hello, ma'am.
Anyone home?
Well, knowing the average age of our listeners,
it's probably the only way they're ever going to get into the property market.
So just get out there and really give it your best.
Fascinating.
Thank you.
My wife was left $40,000 worth of jewelry from a grandparent
she had met once and hardly knew
because her mother didn't
get on with her mother-in-law, so they cut ties between the generations.
Jumped into generations.
But when the mother-in-law was divvying up the jewelry.
40 grand.
She got 40 grand with the jewelry.
I love when people leave out people in the world because they didn't go and visit.
Oh, yeah.
Why would I leave you anything?
Why would I leave you anything?
When was the last time you saw me?
Yeah, I love that.
Yeah, same.
That'd be me.
Yeah.
When I'm old.
I work in real estate.
We had someone interested in buying a house using an inheritance from his brother.
But then he found out that his brother had actually had an estranged son.
Because his brother was going to die and he said, it's for you.
But then it turns out he'd had a son.
And they had to give it to the son that had never
met his father before he died.
No, you just don't tell the son.
No, it must have been in his will.
Oh my god.
That it was going to the son.
My auntie's friend left me a motorbike. Never met him.
Auntie's friend?
My auntie's friend.
What a weird thing. Just got a motorbike.
He'd love a motorbike.
Wasn't your niece, she's into bikes. She a weird thing. Just got a motorbike. He'd love a motorbike. Yeah. I'll leave it to him.
What if your niece, she's into bikes, she can have that.
My husband's great auntie that he'd never met
divvied up her teaspoon collection and left
each great niece or nephew a pile of teaspoons.
Now we don't know what to do with these
stupid teaspoons. We don't want your teaspoons.
I don't really know what to do with these teaspoons, I'll be honest
with you. I think those cool ones
that have a little thing at the end,
like Thames.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's got a picture of the beach.
Koala sink tree.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're cute.
So, saw a story from a radio station overseas,
and there was a video attached to it,
and a lady went to a funeral.
She signed the book at the door and went to the funeral service.
She soon realised she didn't know anybody
and she was at the wrong funeral.
She should have been next door.
Oh, my God.
So, she went to the right funeral.
Now, it turns out the funeral she first went to,
the person had no family to leave their estate to,
and it was in their will and testament to split it between those who attended.
No!
Shut up.
So anyone who signed the book had got left some money.
She was shocked to find out there was only a few people at the funeral
and she had been left $100,000.
What a great story.
That's crazy.
$100,000 just for turning up to the wrong
funeral. Also, just a funny
story, turning up to the wrong funeral, sitting there crying
and being like, that doesn't sound like him.
Also, great way of divvying
out your money. I'll give it to
whoever turns up to my funeral.
Isn't that a great way?
I have so many things. You know me, I don't want a great way? I have so many things.
You know me, I don't want to die, but I have so many great ideas.
Great tricks.
You know, tricks and stuff for when I'm dead.
Yeah.
Little messages to leave.
The great news is I'm not going to have any money by the time Mike dies.
Yeah, well, that's great.
There'll be nothing.
My friend's uncle left her 150,000 pounds when he died.
He'd lived in England.
She'd never met him, talked to him or anything.
Wow.
Just one day got told she'd inherited 150,000 pounds. That's not fair.
300k.
When's my
dead relative from England?
Then you're never met. Where are they?
Yeah. So it's not impossible.
It happens. People who you've never met
leave you things in their will. Great stories.
Fact of the Day is next.
Play ZM's Flesh
One and Hayley.
Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day.
It's Goat Week here at Fact of the Day.
I've heard from my wife this morning the goats somehow got onto the lawn.
I'm looking forward to getting home and seeing what damage they've done.
What do they do?
Eat it?
They just eat everything.
They just eat.
The best thing is they'll get in and they'll be like, grass?
We've got that in the paddock.
These fruit trees and hedges certainly need to be eaten by us as quickly as we possibly can.
Naughty goats.
I need to trim my hedge actually.
Shall I bring them around some feed?
Yes. Like last time. Yep, great. Shall I bring them around some feed?
Yes.
Like last time.
Yep, great.
Yeah, they love that.
Isn't that good?
Bit of variety in this.
Sort that out after the fact of the day, please. Goats, goats, goats.
I just sort of think maybe people listening
want to know what we're up to.
Goats are crazy clever.
Like if I've got this area for the goats
and I let them into the bigger part of the paddock
that I don't always keep them in
because they'll guts themselves
and they'll get fat.
They know if the electric fence is on or not.
They can, I don't know if they've worked out if they can hear a click.
Right.
They know that the electric fence,
because if I don't have the electric fence on when they go through,
they just walk up to the temporary fence and just walk straight through it.
Smarty pants.
They're just very smart animals.
And today's fact of the day,
goats prefer and can tell the difference between an angry person and a happy person
or a sad person and a happy person.
Like horses.
And they prefer a happy person.
Traditionally, it was believed that, as you say, horses and dogs.
Yes.
Cats don't care enough.
No, Rolly does.
When I cry, he comes.
No, cats don't care.
When I'm sad, Rolly will find me.
You think he just wants food.
He's finding you
because he's hungry.
He's like, she's emotionally eating
and I should be too.
We snacking.
You crying, we snacking.
Do you coincidentally
have opened a tub of ice cream,
which you know
is going to kill you later
because you're really bad with lactose,
but you're eating it anyway.
He's like,
she's not going to be able
to eat all that
before she gets sick.
I'm going to be able
to have some delicious
goody-goody gumdrops.
So it's always believed... Dogs. I'm going to be able to have some delicious goody-goody gumdrops. So it's always believed that dogs...
I totally forgot what they were called.
I was going to say,
what are those things running around the back?
Dogs and horses can read human emotions on their faces,
but it's also believed,
and they use goats to lead the study,
that goats can also read a human emotion.
The goats were more likely to approach and explore
happy faces when they were shown pictures,
especially when the happy faces
were shown on the right side.
And that suggested
that they used their brain's
left hemisphere
to process positive emotions.
Right.
This isn't good for someone like me
that has BRF.
Yeah.
Bitchy resting face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know, also,
can I say,
I think goats know
when women are menstruating.
Okay.
This is not a fact.
This is purely hypothetical.
Okay.
Is it because they've got an electric fence around them?
They've got an electric fence around them.
They tick.
Women tick like an electric fence unit when they're menstruating.
You've got to listen real carefully.
But you go, they go.
You've got to listen carefully, but you can tell.
Yeah, because there's been incidents where Helen, our female goat,
has been fine with females.
Yep.
And then there's been incidents
where she is not fine with female females.
Oh, yeah, right.
And it's when you're on your period.
And it's when you're on your period.
Me?
Yeah.
Yes, when I'm on my period.
When you're menstruating.
I did minimal research
and kind of came to the conclusion that.
Right.
Yeah.
So can you conduct, just to further the study
about the goats liking happy people,
can you do a little study when you go home
to deal with the goats?
Like go to one of them a happy face
and the other one be a grumpy face
and see if the reaction's different.
I can conduct my own research.
Yeah, nice.
As you do with many things, conduct your own research.
I conduct my own research.
Yeah, COVID vaccines, the lot.
Someone messaged me saying goats are also known to calm other creatures.
Now, I can't knowingly put that as a fact of the day about goats
because my goats, the minute they get in with the pigs,
they bump them with the horns.
If they get in with the cows, they do jump bumps
and try to like bump their heads.
My goats might be the anomaly,
but I can't put that forward as a fact,
knowing that my goats are anything but a calming force of nature
on other creatures.
So today's fact of the day,
goats, like dogs and horses,
can read the emotion of a human face.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley

I was just making sure I had this tidied up before we talked about it
I was just making sure it's all
So last, yesterday was my daughter Indy's first day at high school.
Mind-blowing as a father.
Very exciting.
Mind-blowing.
Did she enjoy it?
Yeah, she did.
She came out great.
She came out with like, you know, smiling and talking and saying,
so they're not like, they're not bully them.
The timetables.
I assume she is the bully.
Oh, good for her.
You know, top of the palm.
She's feeling great.
She's only feeling great because she's run every other kid into the ground. No, of course not. She doesn't have it for her. You know, top of the palm. You know. She's feeling great. She's only feeling great because she's run every other kid into the ground.
No, of course not.
She doesn't have it in her.
But, yeah, no, she was good.
And I said to her when we got home, I said,
I took a photo with you on your first day of primary school.
I want to recreate that.
Yeah, it was so cute.
And because when she, oh, no, we were working mornings
when she started primary school.
Did I take the day off?
I think I took the day off.
Gosh, I did that yesterday.
Well, I really missed the trip. This guy. I don't know why you didn't. We don't need you. Take her primary school. Did I take the day off? I think I took the day off. Gosh, this guy. I did that yesterday. I really missed the trip.
This guy.
I don't know why you didn't.
We don't need you.
Take her to school.
See a photo.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't say that again.
Don't say that.
We don't need you.
Actually, it would be a huge savings if you didn't come.
Actually.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Gleach and Hayley.
The 2% chance that management's actually listening to the show.
I don't need them hearing that.
I don't need them knowing.
Show your mouth.
You shake your mouth or I'll fly over this desk.
It's actually last on,
first off, by the way,
with shows.
Oh.
Ta-ta.
Oh God,
they actually sent a chill down my spine.
Yeah.
Yeah, crazy.
That was your mortgage.
Oh, I know.
It's your mortgage reminding you.
The ghost of mortgage fast.
It's suffocating.
So I took a photo with Indy.
We took a range of photos.
I said,
which one are you happy with
she made a short list
I looked through that
and I was like
consider it as a girl dash
no I like that
I will do that with anybody
I'll be like you pick
right
and then they'll say
it's out of these five
and I'll be like
I don't really
that one will be fine
no one wants to be done dirty
nah it's always
someone always gets done dirty
I don't mind if it's me
that gets done dirty
when people are putting up
group photos
they're only looking at
how they look in that photo.
I'm 100%. 100%.
And then you see yourself looking like an
episode of Flayed Pigs.
And you're like, did you not see me?
My eyes are shut, my mouth's open.
They don't see your eyes are shut because they were only
looking at themselves.
It's like, I think there was a study the other week
about Zoom calls and video
calls. People spend the majority of time looking at themselves.
Oh, 100%.
100%.
That's why when you're on a Zoom call, you drag your window to under the camera.
Yes.
Because then it looks like you're looking at the camera, but you're not.
You're looking at yourself.
Yeah.
I do it.
I do it all the time.
I hate Zoom calls.
Yeah.
And I'm always just like.
You know, because I'm always like finessing.
Yes, yes, yes.
Little bits.
And they'll change the angle if I'm looking a bit, you know, chinny.
Tough on the eye line.
So it's nice of you to give her the choice.
Really nice.
Here's where the first mistake happened.
I put it on my personal Facebook for like family and stuff to see.
And it's never happened before,
but the personal Facebook shared it to my Instagram account.
Oh, okay.
Which is a public Instagram account versus my private Facebook.
And I didn't see that. So then I went into Instagram and went to do it again. Oh, okay. Which is a public Instagram account versus my private Facebook. And I didn't see that.
So then I went into Instagram
and went to do it again.
And uploaded it
with a beautiful
Cat Stevens song
in the background
that you recommend.
Not father and son.
Where do the children play?
Where do the children play?
Where do the children play?
And then I uploaded it
and I looked and I was like,
I didn't post that twice.
And then I clicked on
the original one.
Oh, boomer.
And it was like,
I was already getting some traction, as they say in the industry. And I was like, that twice. And then I clicked on the original one. Oh, boomer. And it was like, it was already getting some traction,
as they say in the industry.
And I was like, that's not the one I want on Instagram.
So I had to delete that.
So then, okay, so I've posted the same thing twice.
Bad start.
That's a boomer thing to do.
Bad start.
So boomer.
My person on Facebook has never posted to my Instagram.
Yeah, weird it did that.
Really weird that it did that.
I didn't even know that they were linked like that.
So then I put up the actual post on Instagram.
And I commented on it saying,
someone asked me today if I felt old,
because somebody did ask,
saying, having a kid in high school made you feel old?
I said, no, because mentally I'm 28.
So that doesn't matter at all.
Someone asked me today if I felt old,
and I didn't until I uploaded this twice.
Now that obviously only makes sense if you saw that
the post was uploaded twice.
But I deleted one.
Anyway, people must have thought I
meant I uploaded
the original photo of Indy at primary school
and the photo of me and her
at high school and people must have thought
I meant, man, look how much I've aged.
So they weighed in.
A friend, Dana, said, man, even your teeth look older.
My teeth now have had more dental attention than they had at that time.
Yeah.
I'm just doing a Zoom.
No, they don't at all.
Dana thinks my teeth look older.
They look the same.
Dana thinks my teeth look older.
Full of character.
What else was roasted?
Somebody else said
that I need a
if I want to look younger again, they believe it's
possible if I trim my beard and start
moisturising. You look younger
with a shorter beard. And your beard's grey
and it's got some grey in it. I like the grey
in the beard. The start moisturising
thing is a direct attack on your skin.
Because I do moisturise. I know you moisturise. I direct attack on your skin. Because I do moisturise.
I know you moisturise. I don't have a regime.
You can't moisturise under a bed, but I'll
see. But he moistens
the bed and then on the skin.
I mean, you look older, but I thought you looked great.
You can't moisturise under the bed
like I'd crawl under a bed.
To lather up.
You do look older.
Wow. You don't say it though.
It's been eight years.
But then I knew
I could rely on my boys.
Yeah.
One of my best mates
said,
you are a fine wine smithy.
You are.
There you go.
And I took that
very well.
But yeah,
people are other thing about,
oh no,
you don't look that old, man.
Like, what?
That's a light roast.
I am eight years older.
Yeah.
And I'm going to be 40
How old am I going to be
Next year
Next month
43
43
That's right
43 next month
I like that we both
Had to tell you that
I always forget
Because in my mind
Like I said
Mentally 28
I think I'm in my 30s
Somewhere
But then I remember
I definitely had a 40th
So it's got to be there
Yeah
You guys are coming
To my 21st
At the end of this year
Though eh
Yeah I'm really
Looking forward to it
I'm looking forward to it.
What we're going to do is get the time travel machine
and our first up is your 21st.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.
Single person households are on the rise.
28% of all households by 2046 will be single households.
One person, solo, doing life their way.
No one annoying you, taking up half the bed.
Wow.
That sounds so lovely.
No.
What, you love a sleep divorce.
I do love a sleep divorce.
Aaron does not want a sleep divorce.
He sleeps terribly when I'm not around.
I sleep terribly when we are together.
So who wins?
Who wins?
So single households, they're on the rise.
Divorce rates are higher than ever.
Yeah.
People are getting married later.
A lot of people choosing the single life,
choosing not to have kids.
We see life as different.
It's not that classic, meet the person, have the baby,
get the house, on you go.
Yeah.
So the idea of the singles tax
is a topic of conversation at the moment,
meaning that singles often pay a lot more for doing life alone.
So single person households face higher costs due to the inability to split expenses,
bring in like two incomes.
Yeah.
And singles spend about 3% more per person on goods and services compared to couples.
Yeah.
Because I mean, it makes sense.
There's two of you.
Yeah, there's two incomes coming in.
But there's two of you
so you're consuming more
but you are splitting it.
And I think,
I totally understand
how you save money.
And also this was
had me thinking about
my friend who is single,
not by choice,
like just hasn't met
the right person,
has been saving,
saving, saving,
saving, saving, saving.
Is so close to being able to buy a house,
but just like not quite.
But if they had someone in there.
She's just like, man,
the only thing that would make this easier
is like being able to do this with a partner.
Trying to buy a house on your own
as a young person would be so hard.
But I also feel like being in a relationship
has other costs.
We've got to do things with each other.
You know what I mean?
Why did you laugh?
You always have to think of like, what about them?
Why did you laugh?
Because I am like a leech. I love doing
stuff with home. Yeah, totally.
And it all costs money. It won't last.
What did you say?
She's about to get married.
I was just going to say,
how about getting married? That's an expensive bizzo. When are you getting married. She's about to get married. Yeah, I was just going to say, how about getting married?
That's an expensive bizzo.
When are you getting married?
Literally like 28th of next month.
You've got to get your invitations out.
Oh, I actually, jeez, I actually forgot about that.
What?
You're getting married in a month.
You haven't got your invitations out.
That's crazy.
No, no, wild A.
Where are you getting married?
Down south?
I haven't even decided that yet.
Well, it would be nice to know so we can book flights.
Hayley, I don't think you're getting invited.
I don't think you're invited.
This isn't her first time playing
I'm gonna dance around the fact you're not invited.
That's a little bit rude, I'll say,
that you're expecting us to get last minute flights,
last minute accommodation.
I don't even know when the wedding is.
This is crazy.
Get your invites up.
This is insane.
Yeah, I know, but I need to actually pick a venue
because honestly, this whole thing is just on a whim.
I'm just living that chill life, you know?
It's crazy because the girls were talking about it yesterday like
carmen was like i'm gonna do this for the wedding and then i was like
what i just yeah anyway it's crazy i actually was expensive getting married
if you want to borrow one of my dresses for the wedding you're more than welcome to i'm gonna
turn up i'm gonna wear white i'm to be a big, goofy, white dress
and be like, well, you said sort of, you know,
casually, we were coming. Yeah.
Anyway, I'm so sorry, Fletch, you're paying so
much money. Oh, yeah. No, I know. It's horrible.
You hate it, eh? You hate your life.
If I could
meet someone to save $4 a week,
that'd be great. So, Vaughan,
according to the study, you and I would have an abundance
of money being in a partnership
and Fletch would be struggling
because of this awful
singles tax that he has to pay.
Yeah, huh.
This is hard.
Are we an anomaly?
We've never considered
our poor friend like this.
Yeah.
Awful.
But I am rich of the heart.
Yeah, and I'm dead inside.
And I hope the BNZ
takes that as a mortgage payment.
Hey, remember how
you just gave that Uber driver five stars
because you wanted five stars back?
Yes.
Let's do that with this podcast.
Oh, yeah.
Review it five stars, tell your friends,
and we'll do the same for you if you ever need a review for anything.
But where are you giving me my five stars?
Well, I don't know.
Do you own a restaurant or something?
Yes.
If you give us five stars on this podcast,
tell us where you would like your review,
and we'll review.
We won't even go.
We'll just review your thing.
I don't want people to know where my restaurant is.
I'm doing one of those secret restaurants.
Oh, I was going to say,
because that's exactly the opposite of how restaurants work.
