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.

What level of service?
Just like a hotel
But it's an apartment
I know

Don't they?
They really tuck it in

So, loving it.
Kick him.

Another chance during the show to get in the draw to escape
and extend your summer.
Fiji, Rarotonga, or Stewart Island.
Those are the islands you can pick from.
You've just got to get through the activator.
Keep listening for that during the show today.
The top six is on the way.
Singapore's Changi Airport.
Number one airport in the world, baby.
Yeah, if you've ever been through there, it's no surprise.
It's a phenomenal airport.
It's got like a giant rainforest waterfall in it.
It's insane.
And an M&M's store.
And an M&M's store, yeah.
And a gummy bear store.
Do they have a Haribo store?
I seem to remember a lot of gummy bears in one spot. Oh, unsure. Apparently, they've also got a suspended bears store. Did they have a Haribo store? I seem to remember a lot of gummy bears in one spot.
Oh, unsure.
Apparently, they've also got a suspended trampoline.
Oh, wow.
So, the Hamad International in Doha is second on the list.
Also a great airport.
It's got a beautiful forest in the middle, doesn't it?
Tokyo Haneda Airport is number three.
Just going down the list,
the top ten, no New Zealand airports.
Oh, man.
Ours are rubbish.
Our international airports are rubbish, guys. Wait, but what about Dunedin Airport?
Or as I like to call it,
Invercargill's kind of airport too.
It's so far out of Dunedin.
No, Vaughan, no.
Oh, man.
Well, the top six coming up,
you're going to maybe brainstorm some ideas.
Yeah, top six things that we need in our airports.
To get us on this list.
To get us up in the top ten.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
There is the Stropshire.
Am I saying that right?
It's got Shire on the end, but you know I always put too much emphasis on that.
Stropshire.
You just say sure.
Stropshire.
Stropshire.
Where's that?
Britain.
Okay. The Stropshire. Stropshire. Where's that? Britain. Okay.
The Stropshire Beaver Project is looking for names for their new beavers.
Oh, Beaver McBeaverface.
These are the first beavers in the Stropshire Hills for 400 years.
Right.
Because they were eliminated because when people started farming in the area, obviously beavers
dammed things up and it's changed
but people were like, ooh, yuck, beavers
and probably for their lovely warm pelts.
So they got rid of them. I was remembering that movie
with Leonardo DiCaprio where he
finally won an Oscar. Remember that movie?
Oh, yeah. What was that? The Revenant.
Beer, wasn't it? Yeah, it was a beer but
beavers, they were trapping beavers as well.
The beer was the big payday, but beaver fur
was, you know, because they live in cold conditions
and it's waterproof and stuff. It's a highly
sought after pelt. So this is a return to
the beavers. Now we've got two beavers
and we need names for them.
Oh my God.
When do we start talking
about beavers recently? Because I still
have beavers as my desktop background on my
work laptop. Fact of the day. Monday we talked about beavers recently because I still have beavers as my desktop background on my work laptop. Fact of the day.
Well, Monday we talked about beavers and the fact that their teeth are orange because the enamel in their teeth is iron-based rather than calcium.
No, it was before that.
But we have talked a lot.
It was before that.
We were talking about beavers before that and that was when we got onto, we found out that platypuses are your ick.
Are we the radio show for beaver enthusiasts?
Huge beaver fans. We could beaver enthusiasts? Huge beaver fans.
We could be, yeah.
Huge beaver fans.
So they need two names.
Yeah.
Now they said.
Beavis and Butthead.
It's actually a really good suggestion.
It's actually really good.
Beavis.
Suggestions that we like so far on the BBC Stropshire Facebook page.
Yeah.
Bertie, Beryl, Charles and Darwin.
And then, of course, the comments come in.
What about Eager and Hairy?
What about Justin and Sigourney?
Justin Beaver and Sigourney Beaver?
Are you kidding me?
Those are the names.
That is the winner.
That's perfect.
That is the winner right there.
Sigourney Beaver.
Sigourney Beaver and Justin Beaver.
Yeah. No notes.
No notes. Obi-Wan
Nor Nobi. It's a stretch, but I love
it. Nerds always trying it on, aren't they?
Hey, Beavis and Butt-Heads on the list. It's got
heaps of likes. Hey,
good, good, good.
Someone's just like, I can't even believe you've
asked in 2025.
Somebody
said, what about clammy and sweaty?
Yeah, good.
I still think Sigourney and Justin
Beaver are the
best beaver names in the world.
Followed by Beavis and Butthead.
Yeah.
Also, news yesterday, speaking of
needing names, the Auckland
Zoo said they've got some meerkat pups.
You don't like meerkats, though.
Meerkats to me are the penguins of zoos because penguins
and like nature documentaries, the penguins are always when they need to fill some time
because there's so much footage of penguins. They'll be like, let's revisit the penguins.
And I'm just like, I know what they do. They huddle in the cold, they give each other stones
and they dive in and then they get eaten by sea lions.
I know.
And the meerkats are the same because they're the ones that you see at the zoo and you get closest to and you can stick your head up when they run past.
Eh.
You're so rude about meerkats.
What about how cute this photo is?
There's a stethoscope on the little baby meerkat.
It's real cute.
It's real cute.
How little would a baby meerkat be It's real cute. It's real cute.
How little would a baby meerkat be?
It looks like a tiny kitten.
Yeah.
Like a really tiny kitten when the kittens are just born.
But there's four of them.
I don't know if they need names.
It's so cute.
How can you not find that cute?
It's okay, but it's so cute.
I want one.
Okay.
I don't think you do.
11 past six.
You can't even get your cat to behave.
No, you can't put a meerkat in an apartment.
That's cruel.
That's cruel.
Imagine it looking out the window.
They're pretty much just living in an apartment.
Yeah, they are.
Oh, my God.
Looking out into the CBD.
I'll chuck it like a pile of, I'll chuck some tunnels on the couch.
Yeah.
It'll love my place.
Yeah. Next on the show, there. It'll love my place. Yeah.
Next on the show, there is a chicky babe. What about a beaver?
No, don't be silly.
When was the last time you had a beaver in your apartment?
It was there last week, I think.
That's the closest he got.
Next on the show, please, Vaughn, please,
can we take this seriously, please?
Next on the show, there is a chicky babe
who took matters into her own hands with a DIY project like no other. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, please, can we take this seriously, please? Next on the show, there's a chicky babe who took matters into her own hands
with a DIY project like no other.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Look, we've all stayed in Airbnb's before, haven't we?
And, you know, we've all sort of chipped a table
when you've cracked a beer open.
Yeah, you know, when you get a bloody...
Oh my God, people that crack beers open on the side of tables and...
No, no, no, no, no.
If anyone ever did that to my table
I would, they would never ever be
welcome again in my house. Are you kidding me? Don't be a mongrel.
Oh, you've got to do it, I wouldn't do it on
a wood. I wouldn't do it on wood.
I wouldn't do it on metal. No.
I'd do it on metal or concrete
or... No, you'd tip the concrete.
Yeah, I know that has happened before.
Or a brick, you get it on the brick and you bang it
and you just use a bottle opener
like everybody else.
Or I've learned to use one bottle to open another bottle.
That's a pretty cool trick.
Oh, I'm always pretty impressed when people do that.
I can do that one.
Or a lighter.
Vaughn, that turned me on a bit, knowing that you can do that.
Yeah, that confused me somewhat.
Here you go, crack like that.
Yeah.
Anyway, there's a girl,
she was staying with a group of friends at an Airbnb
and disaster struck.
Well, ask me how my Tampa trip is going.
I put my curling iron on top of a toilet seat cover
and melted it.
I don't want to tell the Airbnb host
because I feel so dumb that I did this in the first place.
So I'm now getting a toilet seat cover
and I'm going to go fix it.
So she's
in like Bunnings, basically,
or Mitre 10, you know. She finds
the exact toilet seat. She's in there, man.
She's bought a screwdriver.
She's on her hands and knees at the toilet
seat, taking off the entire seat
and then just replacing it. And then like,
she does a good job. Like, you can't even tell.
Why not? Well, it's probably if it's
the same toilet seat.
Although I think my...
My question is...
Yeah.
Well, I was just like, I mean, how much she spent on the toilet seat,
the trip to get there, the screwdriver.
What's the, you know, how much would the Airbnb person have charged her for this seat?
I would imagine everything she paid for plus an inconvenience fee.
Yeah.
And they might have had to get someone.
I had to hire a handyman and it was $85 an hour and it took them three hours, so.
And how much are toilet seats?
So it definitely would have been cheaper for her to do it.
Also, I just would have left the toilet seat up
and hoped no one noticed.
So would I.
I would never have said it.
Really?
Because it's the toilet.
It's the top of it, so just leave it up.
Yeah, it's the cover.
Although you'd imagine they'd clean it, though.
Yeah, totally. They'll see it almost immediately. I think my toilet you have to take, if you leave it up. Yeah, it's the cover. You'd imagine they'd clean it though. Yeah, totally.
They'll see it almost immediately.
I think my toilet you have to take, if you want to replace a seat because it's one of
those ones that's like perfectly round or oval, you've got to take the whole toilet
off to get the screws for the seat underneath.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Annoying.
We've got one of those ones where it pops off,
but I can't get it to pop back on properly.
So sometimes you're sitting on the toilet and you move a little bit and the thing goes, and you're like, ah.
And then you've kind of got to hover, a hover squat.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm looking at replacing it, but I just don't know.
I can't be bothered.
It's just effort, isn't it?
I just like the excitement of I could fall off the toilet
while I'm taking a poo, you know?
At any time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
From the unmoderated comments section, this is the top six.
Hello there.
I'm on a personal crusade for the next six minutes to get New Zealand airports into the
top ten and then I'll forget I ever cared and then when it comes out again next year,
I'll be like, man, and then when it comes out again next year, I'll be like,
man, I really tried my hardest.
Well, yeah, the...
This is like you with Kony 2012, you know?
You just bloody...
You got really behind it, and then you just forgot all about it.
Yeah.
Well, the top 10 airports in the world have been listed.
Singapore's Changi Airport, number one.
Hamad International, Doha, that's a beautiful airport.
Never been.
Tokyo's Haneda Airport. Never been.
How do you say, it's
in Seoul, eh? South
Korea. Yeah, South Korea. How do you say the Incheon
International
Airport, anyway. Narita
International Airport, number five in Japan.
So Japan's got two in the top five. Yeah.
They know their airports. Go Japan.
But no New Zealand on the list.
Yeah.
Well, I've got some ideas of some features to get into our airports to get us into the top ten.
Love it.
Because we're talking about killing time.
We're talking about taking our mind off maybe the stressful travel, doing something enjoyable, and also it's got to be beautiful.
Yeah.
Right?
So number five on the list.
Sorry, number six on the list of the airport features to get us in the top ten.
A shooting range.
How much fun would it be ripping out a shotgun
and having some clay bird?
I don't know if guns near an airport security area
is a good idea.
No, we can put it by the door.
Yeah.
We can keep the guns away from the...
That's what they're sort of always looking for
in your luggage and stuff is guns.
So let's not bring them in.
It's also a really good chance to get rid of any guns
that you were thinking of taking on planes. Sort of an amnesty hand in. I don't know if that's going to in. It's also a really good chance to get rid of any guns that you think you've taken on the plane.
Sort of an amnesty hand.
I don't know if that's going to work.
Shooting ranges are heaps of fun and pass a lot of time.
Right, so I wouldn't be allowed 110 mils of toothpaste
in the airport, but I'd be allowed to shoot a gun.
Is that what you're saying?
In the airport, yeah.
Right, okay.
But not on the plane.
Don't be silly.
Don't get too silly.
Okay.
It'll be on this side of customs too.
Also, I feel like if I've got a 120ml container,
but there's only 90ml of something in there,
that should be allowed?
Why is that not allowed?
I think this too.
I want to bring a big one litre shampoo or something,
but I'll just put 100ml in it.
That should be fine, right?
They don't have time to weigh everybody's 90ml
to make sure it's 90ml.
Oh, come on.
Efficiency thing, isn't it?
Number five on the list of the top six airport features to get us in the top ten.
Let's get pools and water slides and a lazy river through customs happening at one of our airports.
Oh, my God.
Imagine that.
How lovely would that be?
Heat it up.
And then there's kind of a lazy river offshoot if you've got some pork products or some food.
Yeah, if you've got something to declare.
Yeah.
A kilo of cocaine in your suitcase,
you kind of shoot down the red lane.
Yeah.
Lazy River.
Which goes through some rapids.
Yeah.
To wiggle the cocaine loose.
Okay.
Number four on the list of the top six airport features
to get us in the top ten.
A driving range.
That's a good idea.
That could work.
Okay.
And the fun part is when you hit the golf balls,
you're hitting them at the planes
As they're about to take off
I don't know if that's a great idea
Is that not a good idea?
No, I don't know if that's a great idea
It'd be so much fun
Sitting in a plane and hearing
Tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk, tonk
So there was a virtual
I remember there was a virtual golf course
At the Auckland airport at one stage
As a kid, I'm sure
I mean, I've told our listeners
Hundreds of times
Fletch has heard the story
Hayley, I'm also pretty sure
I've told you about the times
my parents would tell us we were going to
Rainbow's End and we'd drive all the way to Auckland
and then it would be slightly
not the weather they were after so they'd be like
oh we're not going to spend the money at Rainbow's End if it's going to rain
let's go and watch, let's go to the airport
and we'd hang out at the airport for the day
It's just as good as a rollercoaster right?
Just sort of parked up in a car watching planes at a distance
Yeah, yeah With sandwiches we bought from home, yeah It's just as good as a roller coaster, right? Just sort of parked up in a car watching planes at a distance. Yeah.
Yeah.
With sandwiches we bought from home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so not even a Maccy's. Not even a Maccy's treat when you drive all that way.
Number three on the list of the top six airport features
to get us in the top ten.
Petting zoo.
That'd be a great idea.
Because a lot of airports have gotten dogs and kind of animals.
Yeah, just to relieve the stress.
Yeah.
Oh, cute.
Pats and cuddles and such.
Number two on the list of the top six airport features to get one of our airports in the top ten.
Buffets.
What just any free.
Yeah.
Oh, not free, but, you know, buffet.
You can get food and stuff.
Yeah, but it's never buffet.
Yeah, you're going to sit on a bloody 12-hour flight after a buffet
and that's going to be running through.
I don't think so.
But then you don't have to pay for the meal on the plane.
You can just load up.
Fill up.
And you know, I don't know about you guys,
but when I go on holiday, my digestive system's like,
I'll tell you when we poo.
Oh, my God, Sam.
It's going to be when you least expect it.
It can be either five times a day or once in five days.
I don't think a buffet
would really help.
Yeah.
And number one
on the list
of the top six
airport features
to get us in the top ten,
golf carts for everyone,
not just old people
who walk slow.
Oh,
that'd be good.
Golf carts.
Everybody gets one.
Golf carts.
I just feel like
there's going to be
congestion issues there.
You know,
we've all got carts. They'll be like bumper
cars. You'll just be crashing into people.
Fun. I'm not hearing a bad point so
far. I'm only hearing positives.
That is today's top six.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
I want to ask you, Fletch, as our single representative
here, how you
would find this
at a wedding.
Okay? We've all gone to weddings together,
right? Yeah, we have.
Imagine the discussion between
the married couple. Where are we going to put
Fletch, that lonely,
lonely, sad man?
Yeah. With his cat.
Lonely man with his cat. Why has he got a cat
at the wedding? Am I allowed to bring my cat?
Because he's so miserable.
That's the only thing that he
loves.
So there is a wedding that's
gone viral. It happened in LA.
They had
their guests, you know,
all their guests were invited and everything, including their
coupled up friends and their single friends.
But at the tables, everyone was provided a sheet.
And on that sheet, it was double-sided, right?
Because sometimes, guys, you can print and it goes in,
it prints one side and it comes out and it does the other side.
No, do you know, I actually hate that our work does that sometimes.
I think it's amazing.
I think it's incredible.
The double-sided?
No, I like a fresh for each page.
Do you?
Wasteful?
Yeah, I love to be wasteful.
Wasteful.
These guys weren't wasteful.
On this sheet, on the front, it said business in the front,
and it had a little headshot, LinkedIn style,
professional headshot of every single person attending,
every single as an uncoupled person attending this meeting.
And on the back, it said party in the back
and it had a more casual sort of party photo
of those same single people.
And it was set up in a way
that was supposed to encourage mingling.
Right.
So that you would be free to approach
one of these single mingles
without being like, where's their date?
Or is someone here?
As a way to hook up at this wedding?
What if you were single, but weren't in that headspace?
And then you've got creepy old uncle who's also single recently.
He sees your photo and is like, I'll give that one a go.
Here we go.
She won't get that love.
Looking at the sheet, I feel like they age-capped it.
Like, it feels like it's their mates.
I don't, you know, Uncle Johnny grabby hands is an honour.
You're going to this wedding, you're going to know everyone,
most people anyway, right?
Like, why do you need this?
The reason it's gone viral is because of the discourse,
like, that it's sparked online.
Some people being like, this is great.
It's so hard to meet people.
Like, a wedding's a great spot.
But other people have acknowledged, like you said, Vaughn,
like, they didn't ask to be on this list,
and they didn't, like, they genuinely weren't asked.
You just turned up and you were on it.
Oh, I would leave, and I cannot wait for this couple to break up.
You're so offended moving on this thing
unless you are cursing them.
Like, don't push your agenda on me.
Right.
The best part would be if there was only two gay guys,
they have to.
Oh, they have to.
You are going to love my friend Tim.
He's also gay.
What would I love about him?
Well, he's gay and you're gay.
Gay people love that.
They love that.
Yeah, they love that.
You know how gays are always just gaying up with all the gays?
Yeah, like you straights are always straighting up with all the straights.
We straight up with all the straights.
All of them.
Us straights, we can't keep our hands off each other.
I assume.
I didn't know the gays were the same.
Oh, the gays are big much the same.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big much the same? Christ, what language am I speaking? Big much the same. Yeah. So they're not attracted to like personality. Big much the same?
Christ, what language am I speaking?
Big much the same.
I don't like this at all.
I would have left the wedding.
Oh, honestly, I just think it's so cringe, eh?
Imagine turning up.
You're just there for some free drinks,
a lovely day to celebrate love.
Yeah.
And you're on a sheet.
I like how the order of things,
you definitely said free drinks
before you said celebrate love.
Did I stutter?
Okay, let's
rank in order our
favourite parts about weddings. One, free drinks.
I completely agree. Two, food.
There's got to be lots of food, Maddy McLean.
You can't leave people hungry.
Three,
for me personally,
girls in pretty dresses.
That's perfect because my third is
being a girl being in a pretty dress.
Because I don't like getting dressed up,
but I like the girls like being in pretty dresses
and you can just say, oh, my God, you look lovely.
You look lovely.
And they're just like, oh, my God, thank you so much.
You're sounding like a creepy uncle.
No, no, not even creepy.
It's just so easy because they look lovely,
so you don't even really need to know what about,
what is your favourite.
No one ever says at a wedding when you say, oh, my God, you look lovely,
they never say, what's your favourite part of my outfit?
They're just stoked that you've said it.
Vaughan, Vaughan, you're spiralling.
Can you hear the wheels?
And then you grab them, and then you grab them.
And you're like, we're having a dance, love.
But you got them by the hips, so they can't go anywhere.
Am I doing okay?
Am I getting out of the hole?
No, no, you're not.
Absolutely not.
Yeah, right.
It's so much deeper.
And then you're like, it's midnight, we've got to kiss.
Is that what?
Okay, I will just walk it all back.
Lucky this is a pre-recorded podcast.
It's not.
No, it's not.

Opt for a chicken burger If I was gonna have Pineapple And the pineapple's Gotta be like today. I'm all for it. Would you have pineapple? I'd always opt
for a chicken burger
if I was going to have
pineapple.
Yeah, same.
And the pineapple's
got to be like char-grilled.
Yeah, so caramelised

Even a little bit of
crunch, but still
like the juice.
Not like picked

It's got to be
char-grilled.
There is the famous
White Lady truck.
They do a beef burger with a pineapple and it kicks, man.
I love it.
I'll just put pineapple.
I do a beef burger with pineapple totally,
but there's something about chicken and pineapple.
Yeah.
What am I?
Where am I?
Hawaii?
It's the ultimate combo.
It's a great combo.
Aloha.
Well, 56% of people agree with us.

Really?
Wow. Ooh yuck. Yum, love it. But 44% ooh, yuck. Really? Wow.
Ooh, yuck.
Okay.
Grow up.
Dan says only on a chicken burger.
Yep, okay.
Would you go pineapple on a fish burger or would it be overpowering of the fish?
I wouldn't do a fish burger.
What are you, a psycho?
No, I quite like a fish burger.
Oh my God, I love fish burgers.
Oh, if there's a fish burger option, I'll always go fish burger.
Yum.
And it's like fish and chips fish, eh?
Like battered fish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you know I love a filet-o-fish.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Cut her off.
Cut her off.
Okay, shut down the Zoom.
Shut down that top.
Just stay in Melbourne, you know?
Ah, yeah.
Hayley, I don't know.
We were waiting for the right time to tell you, but don't come home.
But I need to.
I need to come back into the studio and be with you guys.
I miss you.
Nah.
Pineapple on a burger is a no, but pineapple on a pizza is a yes.
I don't make the rules.
I just live by them.
That's Courtney.
Okay.
Okay.
That's the username.
But only on a chicken burger, and it has to have bacon as well.
Yeah, good call.
Fair call.
Fair call.
Grumpy Lisa.
Grumpy Lisa's message.
Oh, okay.
Warm fruit on a burger isn't my cup of tea.
When you put it like that, that doesn't sound appealing, does it?
Warm fruit on a burger.
It's not a bloody banana, Lisa.
You know, like it's not sort of a heated up nani.
Oh, yuck.
Heated nani.
Worse than pineapple on a pizza, says Luba.
Okay.
Worse than pineapple on a pizza.
Ideally grilled pineapple with a spicy sauce on my burger, says Meredith.
Yes.
Meredith, yes, welcome to the burger family.
Yes, Meredith.
That's how we eat them.
Chris said it's good, but it doesn't need to be on every burger.
I agree.
Okay.
It's just when you want it, isn't it?
Do you like beetroot on a burger?
No.
No? Hayley, do you? Yeah, I like beetroot on a burger? No. No?
Do you guys like egg?
Yeah, I love beetroot on a burger.
I love egg on a burger.
I love egg on anything.
Egg on anything?
Anything.
Cake.
I mean, there are eggs in cake.
Banana cake with an egg on it.
A fried egg on the top.
A fried egg on a cake?
Yeah, a fried egg on banana cake.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Fried egg on cereal.
I do that all the time.
Like a Weet-Bix with a fried egg.
Yeah, I have Coco Pops and a fried egg.
Yeah, it's so yum.
And you poach.
Sorry, y'all.
Don't you make a hot pot of tea and poach the egg in the hot pot
and then have a tea and eat the egg?
Yeah, I do, yeah.
He calls it tea egg.
Only the $1.50 egg, pineapple and slaw burgers in Rarotonga, says Em.
I'm going to need where in Rarotonga that is, Em.
Oh, goodness me.
Okay.
Nikita says,
Delish, unless it makes the buns soggy,
then there must be a proper anti-sog assembly.
Yeah, I'd put a slice of cheese on top of the pineapple to stop sog,
but if you've child grilled it, it also shouldn't sog too quickly.
And Bevan said,
Definitely.
If it's a homemade Tegel Louisiana chicken and bacon and pineapple burger.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Do you remember in lockdown when those became a thing?
Dude, do I?
I love them.
I still love them.
I still love those Tegel takeouts.
Yeah.
Dude, every time I see them when I'm at the supermarket, I'm like,
is it Tegel takeout now?
And now that that's been said, I think there might be.
That would be a good, because the spicy Louisiana with the pineapple would be amazing.
And the acidic, and then chuck some bacon on for the grease cut through.
That might be me tonight, I think.
Okay.
Hundies, on some brioche buns?
Yes.
Hundies!
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Hayley.
So was this a ChatGPT upgrade?
Because about a week ago I started seeing, can we go to the,
was it,
is it ChatGPT?
Is it a ChatGPT upgrade?
Yeah,
so you have to have a paid account to do images,
but then I found out you can have a free account and do a few images,
which was our downfall.
So,
because I started seeing these about a week ago
and I was like,
man,
that's cool.
And Earl,
long time listener of the show,
champion dude.
Yep.
He was like,
I made this and sent through one,
and it was me as an action figure.
And it looked heaps like me, apart from it had hair.
Oh, yeah.
And I said.
Hair hanging out the bottom of the hat, right?
Yeah, I said, ouch, Earl.
And he said, I'm really sorry about that.
And.
Right.
But it looked good.
But everybody's been.
And then everybody else has looked really good.
And then yesterday afternoon, Shannon's like,
I'm going to try this action figure Barbie thing for the show.
And we're like, okay, cool.
Yeah, well, so I go on and then I start messing around.
I did Hayley first and I went back.
No, hear me out first.
Yep.
And I do a few attempts and I start to get it quite good.
And then it says, hey, you've reached your limit.
And I said, oh, no.
So then I paid out of my own bank account.
Oh, no, no, no. Oh, Shannon, we've got a company credit card. Well, I said, oh no. So then I paid out of my own bank account. Oh no, no, no. Shannon,
we've got a company credit card.
I was in the motions. And then I thought
it was $20, but I forgot that
other countries have different amounts of money.
I forgot. So that's $40.
You didn't know about
foreign currency. I forgot. I saw
a dollar sign and said, we have that.
So I spent $40. We have that.
You know she's right, though.
She is.
You're not wrong.
She's right because we do have the dollar sign,
and America has a dollar sign, and Australia has a dollar sign,
but the dollar sign value changes.
So then I paid $40, and there I am trying to do it,
and it's not working on a laptop.
I will say you guys were doing some very severe blackface.
Yeah.
It just could not detect your race, and I was like, we can't have this.
We should have sent my to myancestry.com
results because there is not a
shade of brown involved. I know, so I was
really trying and then I find out that
I go on my phone and it works a lot better
but my accounts wouldn't link so I
made another free account. So long story short
I made three accounts, I spent $40
and you still looked ridiculously stupid.
Yeah, look, we didn't look good, did we?
We looked, dude, It did us dirty.
I'm just going to go and have a look.
It's on our story, FEHZM.
I realised I was such a generic brown-haired white woman.
You know what I mean?
I looked at mine and was like, who's that?
I gave all these reference photos.
Just white brown hair.
The reference photo it ended up using,
because I tried our show imagery,
and then I told it to give Hayley brown hair,
and it made Hayley brown.
And then I gave it the photo of you guys with the kittens
when our lovely animates brought in kittens.
I think it maybe morphed you guys half kitten or something.
I don't know.
I've got a monkey face.
I don't know what's happened, but we look.
Hayley, I'll tell you what they did nail.
Your knees.
Have you got the photo there on our story?
Those are your knees, dude.
Yeah.
They really nailed your knees.
What do you mean?
Because, you know, I've been self-conscious about my saggy knees.
Those are your knees.
Wait.
Those are my knees.
I know.
AI nailed your knees, dude.
I mean, say what you want about AI, but it's really on the...
It's nailed the knees.
It's nailed the knees there. It's nailed the knees. It's nailed the knees there.
It's nailed the knees. Now, we did have some
feedback because we put this on our story.
Yeah. And I tell you what.
Shannon tried her best. I want everyone to keep that in mind.
And she did pay
$40 New Zealand dollars. $40.
This is what FEH would look like
if they came from Teemu.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, says Pre-T. No, no, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, says Prety.
No, no, no.
Oh, yeah.
What the F is that for?
Word from Alexandra.
You are all so much better looking in real life. Yeah, why are we the only people that look worse
when this has happened?
Vaughn looks like he's run into a wall.
Dude, I know.
I look like I'm half a monkey.
It's like they shaved a monkey and they were like,
do an impression of this guy.
And the monkey's like,
I'll do what I can.
Um,
Adam says,
screams in fear and disgust and turns and runs into the,
into the distance.
Um,
Lizzie said,
I absolutely panicked.
And I thought this was the new photo shoot that you guys are doing recently.
And I was like,
no,
no,
no.
What have they done?
Um,
Bronte says,
Fletch is accurate.
At least you've got a baby,
almost like a baby face in this Fletch, like a child You've got a baby Oh my god Almost like a baby face
In this Fletch
Like a child's
I don't think that's accurate
No I don't think it's
Yeah
I think it did us dirty
Not even
Not even the fact that
AI can't spell camp
Yeah
Based off the t-shirt I was wearing
Look AI's not quite there yet is it It's close though Also On my shirt On my t-shirt I was wearing. Look, AI's not quite there yet, is it?
It's close though. Also, on my shirt, on my t-shirt,
does that say Kinky or Kirstie?
Kinky would be my...
Look, AI's not...
They've nailed the knees and they've nailed my attitude.

Tonight, I'm doing a gig before my gig,
and it's not just like a line-up show.
Recording stopped.
It's just me.
What?
I don't know what happened,
but the Zoom just told us a recording stopped.
Oh, she just wants to join in with us.
Recording stopped.
Jesus, that was good.
Why did you do that?
Hayley just did that.
Yeah.
Go do it again. Listen to her voice. Recording stopped. Jesus, that was good. What? Did you do that? Hayley just did that. Yeah. Go, do it again.
Listen to Zoom voice.
Recording stopped. And so it's
nearly perfect.
I've just learned a new skill. Now, look, my Arnold
Schwarzenegger is terrible, but my
bloody Zoom voice is brilliant. Your Zoom recording in progress.
Say it again. Hello, Fletch and Vaughn.
Recording stopped.
Oh my God. Do recording in process.
Recording in process. Yeah, progress. Progress. It recording in process. Recording in process.
Yeah, progress.
Progress.
It's a progress.
Recording is in progress.
That's so good.
And I think just that slight
sound of you coming over zone
makes it sound so authentic.
Hey, Hayley,
you're really good.
You're good at stuff.
You know what?
You're an entertainer.
I am.
You are.
Wow.
Okay, let's continue
the conversation.
I don't know why people don't like her, Fletch. You're an entertainer. You are. Wow. Okay, let's continue the conversation. I don't know why people don't like her, Fletch.
Guys, you're on.
I can't fathom why people around the office don't like as much as they like us.
I've got you in my ears.
I can hear all that.
Oh, can you hear me?
Wait, but it told us that recording had stopped.
I thought recording had stopped.
Yeah, the filming of the video has stopped.
But I can still hear you.
Oh, okay.
I just want to say, I think
the early reviews
of your show were unjust. Please, continue.
We chat, we joke,
we laugh. She's doing fantastic.
She's an international comedian.
Oh, stop it, please. You flatter me. Now, listen. I'm doing a gig tonight. She's doing fantastic. She's an international comedian. Oh, stop it, please.
You flatter me.
Now, listen, I'm doing a gig tonight.
It's called What I'm Cooking For.
This is what I've been told.
And beloved New Zealand comic Ray O'Leary did it last night
and he shed some photos.
It's called What I'm Cooking For.
What happens is I get up in a sort of kitchen setup.
There's a crowd there.
And I have to cook in front of the audience
one of Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals
in exactly 30 minutes,
not a second over,
while I'm being interviewed about this, that,
the other thing, comedy, life, career, everything
in front of an audience.
I've got to cook.
What a great idea for a comedy show.
I know, how good. And so like, I feel. I've got to cook. What a great idea for a comedy show. I know.
How good.
And so, like, I feel like I'm a good cook, but I've never cooked under that pressure.
Like, when you do a Jamie 20-minute meal or 30-minute meal, you don't actually stick a timer on this thing.
And do they actually take 30 minutes?
Yeah.
I'm assuming they do-ish for a skilled chef.
But then you're being distracted by being interviewed as well.
And you've got to be entertaining.
This is when I see people doing Twitch streams
and they're concentrating on playing a computer game
and also engaging and being entertaining with people
who are interacting with them.
I'm like, how are they doing all this?
Yeah, that's going to be me tonight.
I don't even have a heads up if it's an Asian meal
or if it's a pasta-based salad or something or if I'm going to be cooking with meat
like I said Ray O'Leary did it last night and I
saw it on social media and by the end he looked like he had fainted on the ground of this
like sea urchin. I mean I just feel like
I'm just looking at this. Ray doesn't strike me as someone that can like cook or
look after himself.
I worry about him regularly.
I'm on the Jamie Oliver website, the 30-minute meals.
There are recipes online.
There's one here, chicken, sausage, and mushroom stew.
19 minutes.
Okay.
Fragrant spicy fish soup, 13 minutes.
I beg... Yeah.
We're going to wait.
What was that called?
A fragrant
spicy fish soup.
Wasn't that your nickname
in high school?
Listen,
you two,
stop bullying me
while I'm away. Stop bullying me.
Stop bullying me.
Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
The grand debate.
We will now debate with Easter a week away.
Ben, the best Easter eggs.
The best Easter eggs.
Ben, the best Easter egg.
You have to pick a number one.
I don't care.
Recording in progress.
Was that Hayley or the Zoom?
Recording in progress.
Oh, my God.
You cannot tell the difference.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, okay. You've got to the difference. Oh my God. Yeah, okay.
You've got to pick one.
Because cream eggs.
I'm just going to go hollow egg filled with buttons.
I don't need anything fancy.
I'm a humble girl from a humble background.
My parents live in Italy half the year,
but don't let it distract you.
You went to private school,
but don't let it distract you.
You're a humble girl.
Yeah, I just want hollow egg filled with buttons.
I'm going to pick at the buttons for a couple of weeks.
Yep.
And then I'm done with Easter.
Are you settled on buttons?
You don't want something slightly more exciting inside your egg?
Vaughan, I said buttons.
And I need buttons.
She wants buttons.
Okay.
She wants buttons.
A high quality chocolate button.
Because I initially went cream egg.
Oh.
But then, you know, you can get a bougie marshmallow.
Excuse me? Excuse me?
Excuse me?
What's that New Zealand brand that does the bougie chocolate fish?
Is it Queen Anne or something like that?
Didn't Queen Anne have the rug pulled from under her?
No, you're thinking about the Royal
Queen Anne. This is that.
That's right, I was getting a confectionary
coming confused with a woman.
Bougie chocolate fish.
I know they've sent us some in the past.
Yeah.
I forget the name.
Queen Anne Chocolates, I'm looking here.
I absolutely stand corrected.
I apologise.
I don't know why I was thinking of another New Zealand chocolate company that got shut down.
Oh, yeah, one in Dunedin.
Anyway.
Christchurch, Queen Anne Chocolates, the home of the chocolate fish.
Yeah, so yum.
Oh, they do Easter eggs?
Let me click on this and see what's going on here.
No, because I've seen them in the supermarket,
and they look delicious.
And they're marshmallow.
Oh, they do a milk chocolate strawberry marshmallow heart.
Yeah, there you go.
See, there you go.
Queen Anne.
Delicious.
I'm going to go for the small eggs.
Yep.
The little tiny eggs.
Oh, yeah.
Filled with caramel.
Caramello.
Oh, how bad is it when you think you've got one filled with caramel
and then you bite it and it's just that solid crap chocolate?
Solid all the way through.
Yeah, yeah, that's not good.
You buy a good brand and you get heaps of little eggs.
Like those ones Sophie who loves the phoners had on her desk
when you got your nails done.
I don't think we even talked about this,
that I got my nails done with Sophie.
Sophie who loves the phoners.
Loves the phoners.
And Vaughn came along
to my appointment with me
and I thought he was
going to go for a walk
but instead he just sat there
watching me like,
what's that?
What layer is that?
What's that?
But she did,
she had little Easter eggs
for us, didn't she?
So yeah,
because they do caramel,
caramello.
They even do the little
mini cream eggs,
don't they?
Yeah.
Cream eggs took a turn
in the 90s,
late 90s, early 2000s and they've never been the same since. They've become a bit like gra eggs, don't they? Yeah. Cream eggs took a turn in the late 90s, early 2000s,
and they've never been the same since.
They've become a bit grainy.
Grainy.
And kids these days will never know the sweet, sweet treats of the early 90s.
I'm going to go marshmallow egg.
A good marshmallow egg.
Not a cheap marshmallow egg.
A good marshmallow egg.
I'm blowing away. I think you're a marshmallow egg.
You are a marshmallow egg. I'm blown away. I think you're a marshmallow egg. You are a marshmallow egg.
Yeah.
The old caramello cream egg, somebody said.
Oh, that's right, because they did the caramello cream eggs,
not the traditional cream egg with the white, really.
Somebody said Queen Anne is elite.
It's elite.
Not Princess Anne.
I was thinking of Princess Anne. You were thinking of Princess Anne. No, yeah, that's great. It's elite. Not Princess Anne. I was thinking of... Princess Anne.
You were thinking of Princess Anne.
No, yeah, that's great.
Was she the one that got into a hot bath?
The chocolate fish that they do are next level.
They're the most amazing chocolate fish in the world ever made.
We've got a whinging pom text messaging in.
Oh, here we go.
A Terry's chocolate orange, I bet.
Oh, my God.
No mention of the Terry's chocolate orange.
Being from England, Easter eggs are so disappointing here.
They triple the price of the UK while being half the amount of chocolate,
and the Cadbury chocolate here is nowhere near as good as the UK recipe.
Oh.
I mean, it's controversial.
We're all Whittakers, though, aren't we?
Yeah, yeah.
Someone just texted in that there is apparently a Biscoff version of a cream egg.
What?
There's a Terry's chocolate orange version of the cream egg, too.
What?
Somebody messaged me saying,
I know you guys always talk about Terry's Chocolate Orange.
Have you seen those?
I was like, I haven't seen those.
Okay.
Terry's Chocolate Orange.
Well, look, I don't really care what it is.
I'll eat it.
Yeah.
Yes.
How are the British saying that their chocolate's better than ours?
No, it's not better than ours.
Can we get some fact check on that?
That's not a thing.
They've got big palm oil.
Let's deport them.
They've got big palm oil energy in the UK.
Is there a deport?
Is there a deport?
A deporting hotline?
There is a deport button.
A deport.
A deport.
Let's send those 501s back home, mate.
That's what Australia does when they're just like, no, we don't want to.
When they whinge about the chocolate.
See, Australia has bad chocolate.
Terrible chocolate. Terrible chocolate. Terrible chocolate.
Terrible chocolate.
Terrible chocolate.
Terrible.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Ed Sheeran has done an episode of Call Her Daddy.
And he has actually opened up and been quite personal
and talked about his relationship with his, you know,
they were childhood sweethearts.
Yeah.
Spoke about how
she keeps him quite grounded because he said he doesn't want his kids to grow up in a richy rich
house despite the fact he owns an entire estate village with it didn't he build a pub dude he
built a pub he built a church he built a pond that's a swimming pool the dude it's like the
dream yeah so he said that any time things get a bit Hollywood
or things get a bit too crazy, she's like, come on, bro.
Let's remember our roots.
Come on, bro.
Come on, bro.
Let's just chill.
And he said he wanted to build in his backyard a tempered bowling alley.
Alley.
Alley or lane.
And she said no.
Why not?
Yeah, fair enough, mate.
Because who has a personal tempered bowling alley like, you know, like it's just.
Also, would that be enclosed and undercover?
It sounds like you don't have an outside bowling lane.
No, no, you don't.
No, it would be all wet.
Yeah.
They would have built like a nice shed.
People have them in their house.
Yeah.
Really rich people, obviously, because you've got to have a long house.
And then you've got to have that ball thing. Because if I'm going to build one, I want that ball return thing. To shrink the ball back. Yeah. Really rich people obviously because you've got to have a long house. Then you've got to have that ball thing because if I'm going
to build one, I want that ball return thing.
To shoot the ball back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to fetch
the ball. No. Yeah, I'm not.
No. You'd have to be
resetting that all the time because those things always
need resetting. Yeah. And how often would you
be playing tampon bowling? Like it feels like one of those
things you buy with the best of intentions. I'm going to play
a game every day and then you're like, it's been six
months. It's a brag, right?
Like, I've got a bowling alley.
And then, like, people who have a treadmill in their house,
you just end up hanging towels on it.
It just, yeah.
Your bowling alley just turns into where you put your laundry
when there's no room for it in the lounge.
So it's perfect.
This is what I wanted to know.
Ed Sheeran was told, no, you're not allowed a bowling alley.
Has your partner said no to something?
Like, maybe you've wanted to build a man cave
or maybe you've wanted a
room in the house specifically for a hobby
or something. Yeah, yeah. I mean
I said to Aaron that I wanted to paint
our bedroom purple and he
said no. In what colour for a bedroom?
No, it's purple though.
Yeah, she did.
What she's explaining there is females.
Suck it.
Suck it, it's purple.
Do you think we'll get any females calling up?
No, no, we don't get told no.
We don't get told no.
It'll just be men saying she wouldn't let me have a shed.
Yeah.
A man shed.
Or an underground bunker.
I mean, it's my lifelong dream.
Oh my God, I would love an underground bunker.
I'm building one. I'm going to build an underground bunker in the next few years. What would it be just to have an underground bunker. I mean, it's my lifelong dream. Oh my God, I would love an underground bunker. I'm building one.
I'm going to build an underground bunker in the next few years.
How cool would it be just to have an underground bunker?
Like, what would you put in yours?
TV?
Yeah, of course.
Everything, eh?
Totally.
I'd have it powered.
But I'd also have it so I could run on a generator.
Because, you know, if I need to go underground for a length of period of time.
Sorry, we're just getting slightly distracted because you guys are having bunker chat now.
I just think we're going to ask, what did your partner say no to?
You don't want to be in the bunker
when the shit hits the fan.
I don't know. I just feel like you guys are going to
put lame things in there. Are we having a cocktail bar?
China and the US are inching
closer to war every day and you don't want to be a part
of our bunker? You don't want bunker boy?
Can I be in the bunker? We need
fun things for girls as well,
like cocktails
and fluffy pillows.
Fluffy.
Well, fluffy pillows
are obviously very important
for bunker comfort.
We can do fluffy pillows.
Absolutely.
I'm in the bunker.
I'm coming in the bunker.
Okay.
Okay.
So 0800 DARS at M as a number.
Give us a call.
You can text through 9696.
What has your partner said no to?
Yeah, maybe it was a colour style.
Maybe it was...
We're getting some great text
messages and I'm willing to go into bat for all of you
on getting these things.
I better be a buckle in, you promised me a buckle in.
That just sounds like you've been surprised
that it's your responsibility for
Friday Flashbacks. No!
No! I said buckle in.
Ned Sheeran has done an
interview with Call Her Daddy on the Call Her Daddy
podcast.
Reeled a lot of personal details about his wife,
how she's his absolute grounding throughout his public superstardom. Yeah, he wanted to build a 10-pin bowling alley, and she was like, no.
So we want to know what your partner said no to.
I mean, he does have a whole bar.
Yeah.
Some messages. A lot of people does have a whole bar. Yeah. Some messages.
A lot of people being told no, by the way.
Yeah.
We thought we might not hear from females who just famously do whatever they want.
But we have.
Not the case.
Nahuiya, good morning.
Good morning.
What has your husband or partner said no to?
My husband said I wasn't allowed to get a fluffy cow.
Vaughn has two.
I've got two fluffy cows.
They're the best.
Pardon?
Why doesn't he want a fluffy cow?
Fluffy cows are great.
I know.
I thought so too.
They're so cute.
But apparently I don't have enough time,
and they're too high maintenance.
Are they?
No.
No, they're pretty good.
They're pretty good.
I mean, they are work.
You've got to go out and look
after them and, you know, do the
vet stuff.
Yeah, maybe because of the
pedicure.
But it's no different.
Do you have other pets?
We had two dogs.
You had.
And it's pretty much like a
dog.
Yeah, we had two dogs, but we
had to move.
It's like a dog, but it's got
horns, basically. He was kind of right. Yeah. Yeah, we had two dogs, but we had to move. It's like a dog, but it's got horns, basically.
He was kind of right.
Yeah.
Do you know, Nahuiya, if I could recommend,
if you like dogs, but you want fluffy cows,
can I recommend the middle ground being Kuni Kuni pigs?
We could, yep.
What we haven't mentioned about Nahuiya
is that she lives in a townhouse.
So that was why the...
You can train pigs.
You can train pigs.
Nahuiya, thank you.
Michaela, what did your partner say no to?
Well, he won't let me have a chihuahua.
Okay.
Good.
He's a smart man.
Stupid dog.
Go on.
Oh, no, listen.
What about, like, the one from Legally Blonde?
No, you're not sold, man.
We're no closer to a yes.
I'm actually moving further away. you've used a movie reference.
Anyway, he's got eight dogs, right?
And he's a pig hunter.
And he says, we can't get a chihuahua because we can't have nine dogs.
Just eight is the limit.
Your dog, the pig dogs will eat the chihuahua and you'll never know.
No, they are friendly dogs. It'll be fine. the chihuahua and you'll never know. No, they are friendly dogs.
It'll be fine.
A chihuahua is a cat.
A cat.
I'd say it's closer to rat than cat.
Why do you want a chihuahua?
Because they're so cute.
They're not.
They are so cute.
They're not.
Like a little black dog.
They're not cute.
That's so ugly.
Okay, Vaughn, let me tell you. If you had a chihuahua, you would be sitting there with it at night They're not cute. That's so ugly.
Let me tell you, if you had a chihuahua,
you would be sitting there with it at night pretending like it's your baby.
I just wouldn't be.
I just wouldn't get a chihuahua.
You know how the dads are like, oh, you're not getting that.
I hate the cat, you know?
And then the cat sleeps on your bed.
The cat doesn't sleep on the bed.
You've misread me entirely.
Animals are out at night. entirely. Animals out at night.
Animals absolutely out at night.
Michaela, thank you.
So many messages in.
What has your partner said no to?
Somebody else said my partner recently said no to some cows.
Could Vaughan have a word with them?
I do.
I am pro-fluffy cow.
They're good for Instagram, but you're not going to eat them.
You actually can.
Can you?
You can because they're used to being in the cold highlands of Scotland,
so they've got great fat content.
When we're in the bunker, we'll bow and arrow them and eat them.
But they're going to take a long, slow cook because they're old and chewy.
They'll be old and chewy by now.
Somebody said, my partner said no to a donkey.
To be fair, we live in a three-bedroom house
and isn't on a section of land we do have isn't fenced.
But I still feel so aggrieved at being told no to a donkey.
Right now, though, we are talking about the things
that your partner has said no to because Ed Sheeran was told,
no, you cannot have a bowling alley.
Despite the fact he's Ed Sheeran.
Yeah, dude.
And he's got a whole estate in a tiny village.
Woman, I'm Ed Sheeran.
But no, he said in the Call Her Daddy podcast
that his wife is like the grounding figure.
You know, because they've been childhood sweethearts.
Because she's normal, right?
Yeah.
She's non-Hollywood.
She's just like, we've come from humble backgrounds.
Let's try and stay as humble as possible.
He had a crush on her, but they didn't date as kids, right?
Yeah.
Just saying.
I'd bring that up if I wasn't like a bowling alley.
What, you didn't like me until I was rich that up if I wasn't allowed a bowling alley. What?
You didn't like me
until I was rich
and famous.
I didn't say that,
but yeah.
I'm going to draw
your own conclusions.
Some messages in.
I'm not allowed
to hang my Formula One
Lego on the wall
in the lounge.
Too bad she's going
away this weekend.
So now you can.
Heck yeah,
put a big hole
on the wall
so if you have
to take it down
there's a massive
hole on it.
She won't want
that hole.
Would you say
that the large majority of these are animals?
Like so many people have been like, I want to get an animal.
And everyone's like, no.
Fran, this is you as well.
Your partner won't let you get an animal?
Oh, no.
My partner won't let me get an animal.
I've got like 11 horses, two dogs.
Like I got the cows that we're meant to eat in cars.
He couldn't tell them. But he
will not let me get my nose
pierced. Because he says that I'll look like
a pig and
I don't know if he'll stop
digging up the lawn.
Wait a minute. What? He said you'll... Oh, because
you mean like through the middle, pigs get that
thing to stop digging. The septum.
The septum.
But I just want a little cute one.
But no, little out.
You want it through the middle, but not on the side nostril.
No, I just want it on the side.
Oh, you won't look like it.
Oh, well, just do it and come home and see what he says.
I've done that with the 11 horses and the cows.
He sounds like a walkover, Fran.
11 horses?
Yeah. Pierce the nose. Do you like a walkover, Fran. Eleven horses? Yeah.
Pierce the nose.
Do you need eleven horses, Fran?
Um, yeah.
Actually, Fran, we might need you when we build our bunker
when the end of the world happens
because you can be our transport.
That's actually right.
With eleven horses.
Yeah.
Because the nuclear weapons, the electromagnetic pulse
will kill all the cars.
Yes.
But they're all naughty horses, so they may not behave.
Well, we're going to eat them then.
Oh, Fran, I can tame a wild horse, Fran.
That was wild.
That was wild.
I want to know more.
I liked that.
Thank you, Fran.
I've saddled up a couple of stallions, if you know what I mean.
Oh, guys, stop it.
Partner point blank refused to let me put hay in the utility shed.
I have to live in a tiny old garden shed,
which restricts me to only 30 bales of hay at a time.
Okay.
What's in the utility shed?
Put it in the utility shed.
My husband said no to chickens.
And guess what?
I bought myself for my birthday.
I reckon it might be chickens.
I think it could be.
Or a nice bracelet.
I'm a girl.
I wanted goats.
He said no.
Goats are a handful.
How into the goats are you?
And are you one of those,
I need to know your history
and what other like things you've bought.
I know you're just sounding like your partner.
Yeah.
You know,
because goats are forever.
Goats aren't,
you know,
just for Christmas.
Goats are forever
unless they're in a stew.
I'm only allowed,
I'm only allowed two planes
Two planes
We have a listener that has two planes
Apparently
Can we go in the planes please
I want to go in the planes
My husband won't let me get a hot tub
Still working on it though
Again just buy it
Just buy it
Someone said my partner wanted to buy a Range Rover.
I said no.
He bought it and kept it hidden for a month.
Hidden?
How do you hide a Range Rover?
How do you hide a Range Rover?
Just like parked on the corner and you walk to your front door every day?
I don't know.
I'm walking to work every day, hun.
Off I go.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Now, as you know, I'm in Melbourne at the moment performing
and I have been, it's been a bit of a stumbling start.
And so yesterday after the show, I was like,
do you know what I need to get up in the service department?
Some groceries.
Yep.
Like, come on, Hayley, have a bit of toast, you know,
have a yogurt, have something
that's not a burger from up the road.
So I
don't know how it works
here. So I just was on
Uber Eats and I was like, oh, they do
groceries on Uber Eats through like Coles
and Woolies and all that. So I was like, I'm going to just
do a little order. I did an order.
I thought it was just a small order,
some yogurt,
some Vegemite,
some almond milk,
some,
I got some gyoza.
I got some gyoza
and a gyoza dipping sauce.
What?
Dumplings.
Yeah, gyoza.
The Japanese ones.
Calm down.
Just say dumplings.
You don't,
just because you're in Melbourne,
you don't need to get all.
Okay,
I apologize to the Japanese listeners,
please.
Who, me? Yes. I'm not apologizing to the Japanese listeners, please. That's all right. Who, me?
Yes.
I'm not apologising to the Japanese.
I'm still absolutely miffed about Dub Dub 2.
Dub Dub 2?
I am miffed.
Boy, you've got to let Pearl Harbour go.
Dub Dub 2 was so long ago.
It's not even Pearl Harbour that really gets my goat, mate.
It's the ongoing war theatre that was the Pacific.
Guys, let's not get into WWII.
Okay.
Did you even mean anything to you there?
You sympathiser?
No, I just think it's a bigger
discussion and we simply do not have time.
Okay. Right. Some ham.
Some dishwashing liquid.
Shaved ham? Did you get shaved ham?
Shaved ham. No, she got a whole
leg of ham. Yeah, you dick.
What?
You got a Christmas ham.
She got some ham chunks.
If you're doing supermarket online shopping or Uber Eats shopping,
you don't get shaved ham.
Yeah, you do.
No, that's weird.
It's the best way of ham.
What kind of ham are you getting?
A chunk of ham.
I just wouldn't get ham delivered.
That's something I've got to see get packaged.
Well, I got ham because I was like,
I could have some ham on my toast with avocado
because I can't get eggs.
There's an egg shortage over here.
I'm going to die.
Yeah, because of the chicken flu.
Yeah, bruh.
So anyway, I got a bachelor's ham bag.
I got some butter.
I did all these things.
I got some peas.
So there's an egg shortage, but you can still eat them,
the chickens.
You can still eat the chickens.
You just can't eat their little eggs.
Okay, right. So, and then I schedule it for later in the day when I just can't eat their little eggs. Okay, right.
So, and then I schedule it for later in the day
when I know I'm going to be home.
And then apparently like a guy goes in
from the Uber company
and he does my little shop for me
and then he'll drop them off.
Wait, but I thought they would have done it
at the supermarket and then he picks it up.
Really?
No.
So, the Uber guy has to drive to this Coles park,
go in, and do my little
shop for me. I assume
someone at the shop packs it.
How much does this cost? This poor guy.
Okay.
So, my poor guy, Mooster,
Mooster pulls up at Coles
and I get a message to say that Mooster has
started my shop. And I was like, Mooster,
thank you, my bro. Like, shout out, Oos that Mooster has started my shop. And I was like, Mooster, thank you, my bro.
Like, shout out, Oos.
Mooster earned a tip.
Mooster got a tip.
Okay, good.
Right.
Because listen, so I get this alert.
Ding, Mooster's at Coles.
He's doing his shop.
And I was like, this is great.
Wild.
Yeah, I know.
And then I get another alert saying,
Mooster is having trouble finding some of the items.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
And it says, Mooster cannot find, where is it?
Mooster cannot find Cole's Kitchen Asian salad kit.
I just wanted a bag of salad, you know, pre-mixed.
I don't have any dressing here.
Couldn't find it.
Then I get another one.
Mooster cannot find Cole's Bananas Mini Pack, 750 grams.
Mooster to been looking hard enough. Mooster to been looking hard enough.
Mooster not been looking hard enough.
That's really tickled me, that is.
Yeah.
I debated doing it because it felt racist.
Yeah, and I didn't laugh at that.
I will admit it felt a bit dodgy.
Yeah, I'll take my laugh back now.
I, as someone with an unusual name, that's quite, quite,
my Vaughn's very ready for a pun.
It is.
Also, I've got to say, I met Mooster.
The story ends with me meeting Mooster,
and he would have loved it.
And I'll give the seal of approval there.
Thank you.
On Mooster's behalf.
So I get another one.
Mooster can't find blackberries.
Mooster can't find raspberries.
Jesus, open your eyes, man.
Wait, is Mooster in a supermarket?
I was like, where the hell is Mooster?
Then I get a message.
Then I get a message. So these are all
formal ones coming through the Uber
app. Then I just get a direct message
through the app in the chat feature
from Mooster himself. And he's like,
mate, I'm having a hell of a time.
It's his first shop.
Has he gone to one of those little supermarkets?
I think so.
Oh, no, Mooster, you've got to go to the big one.
I think so.
He's like, I'm having a hell of a time.
And I said, Mooster, I can see that.
Do your best.
I'm easy.
You know?
Yeah.
He goes, listen, there's just no berries here,
and you've requested them all.
Can I get your replacement?
And I said, well, I've ordered bananas.
That'll suffice.
He said, no, I'm not giving you these bananas.
They're too brown.
Oh, okay, good.
I said, thank you, mister.
I don't like brown.
And I said, what about apples?
Are there any apples there?
And then he goes, yes, there's apples.
What kind would you like?
And he goes, pink lady, gala.
And he sends all these different apple choices.
Oh, God, he's not earning enough to be doing this.
I know.
And I go, Mooster, my friend, hit me with some pink ladies.
And he's like, I'm on it.
I would have gone pink ladies.
Killer apple.
Yeah.
Then he's going around the supermarket for a while,
doing my little shop for me, having more problems.
With the gyoza, he ran into some trouble.
Now, there wasn't just pork and cabbage.
Well, if he'd just said dumplings, he probably would have got it.
Well, this is the thing.
I had ordered gyoza and he said, I cannot find the gyoza.
Will these pork dumplings work?
And I said, yes, that's fine.
I can have the pork dumplings.
Okay.
So he goes through and he says, he said, me again,
and I apologise for this, that the soda water you've ordered at 1.25 litres, I can only find a two.
Will that do?
And I messaged him saying, I tell you what, that's going to lose its fizz pretty fast,
but I'll take it, Mooster.
He puts in a two litre.
Okay.
Yeah.
This poor guy, right?
Like this poor guy.
Because this is the thing through the Uber app, it's always fun waking up the next morning and being like,
what time did I get home?
And you can know because it says the exact time you were dropped off.
So do you have like the blow, blow, blow?
How, one, how long did it take?
How long was he in the supermarket for?
And how much did he earn?
Like knowing Melbourne, you could literally walk to any corner block
and get a Metro supermarket.
Like you could have just done it yourself, you know?
I know.
I thought I was, you know, I'm so under the pump at the moment.
I thought it was going to be easy.
I put Mooster through hell.
I'm just going to view the receipt.
So it basically, so Mooster does his best.
And he says to me, I've done my best.
That's all you can ask.
That's all you can ask.
If you tried your best, what more?
Your mother and I are proud of you.
And that's all we can ask.
Yeah, Mooster, there you go.
He turns up on the main street.
He sees me.
He's like, Hayley, I've had one hell of a day and that was the worst part of it.
And I said, Mooster, I feel really responsible for this.
He gets in the boot.
He hands me my bags.
For 20 items, I spent $126 Australian dollars.
What? Delivery fee and the service fee
combined. Mooster only would
have made from that 8 bucks.
Oh no Hayley that's not
see this is what's wrong with the world.
Yeah. You Mooster felt really
bad about that. Oh mate
I did. I felt
absolutely terrible. And what did you
give him a tip?
I hit him with a $40 tip because I was like,
Mooster, my man. Oh my God!
Hayley, you could have just gone to the supermarket
yourself. Oh, I know the whole thing
was an absolute nightmare.
But, I mean, it was a nightmare for me. I could
have gone, but thoughts and prayers
to Mooster. He really, he hustled
for me and I've had toast this morning.
I've had an iced coffee. I've had, I've snacked on a chicken. All thanks Mooster. He really, he hustled for me. And I've had toast this morning. I've had an iced coffee.
I've had, I've snacked on a chicken.
All thanks to him.
He, he earned the tip.
I'm not.
He earned the tip.
He earned the tip.
It's the least you could have done.
Was he stoked when you were like, here's a $40 tip?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was.
But also the look on his face when he turned up with the bags,
having been through this Coles, not finding a single berry,
not finding a single appropriate banana,
and not finding the gyoza.
His face told me how much the tip should be,
and it was $40.
Yeah.
Anyway.
I don't even know what to say about that.
That's just, yep.
Pumice.
The whole thing's cooked.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
We've got a fraction, too much friction in Gen Z.
Gen Z have turned on themselves.
How great is this?
They're going to destroy themselves from the inside.
I knew all we had to do was wait.
The millennial's waiting in a crouched position, but we can't get up too quick because our knees and back the inside. I knew all we had to do was wait. The millennials
waiting in a crouched position, but we can't
get up too quick because our knees and back aren't what they used
to be. Very clicky. We're getting
clicky, aren't we? Very grindy and clicky. We're ready to
pounce, but our pounce is going to be like,
they'll hear it coming as we push up off the ground.
Because Gen Z are saying,
and you know what? I'm kind of on board
because I think millennials are the same.
It's too broad a spectrum of time to all be considered one generation.
Let's go to our resident Gen Z for the issue here.
Shannon, good morning.
Good morning.
Yeah, I can't relate to these young Gen Zs.
They're going clubbing for the first time.
They're figuring out lots about life.
And I'm just past that stage now.
And I've seen this online. Wow, you're so about life. And I'm just past that stage now. And I've seen this
online. Hey. Wow. You're so mature now. At age how old? Baby girls all grown up. I'm 25. So I was
one in 99. Yeah. And I've seen this debate online that basically Gen Z are requesting that we have
Gen Z part one and part two. And the defining trait would be whether you were in school
when COVID happened.
Because I think that's a really defining thing for a lot of us.
Because they're more messed up.
Yeah, and they're more like now going clubbing for the first time
and they're more introverted and they do more like Sigma Riz online.
Whereas I was in my first real adult job
and that's how it affected me.
You've aged out of Sigma Riz is what you're saying. I was in my first real adult job and that's how it affected me. You know?
You've aged out of Sigma Riz, is what you're saying.
I was making banana bread.
They were on Roblox.
Yeah.
And it's just like,
I don't really resonate with the young Gen Z.
I think we need to separate us out.
But it's a bit like... So you're pro-separation.
I am here saying today on ZM,
I am pro-segregation.
Right.
That's what that means, right?
Kind of.
Historically, no, but we can make the adjustment.
It's the same with millennials, though.
Yeah, because I'm looking at the chart here.
So millennials go from 81 to 96.
Now, I'm up across.
I'm an 82.
Maybe now I have more in common with someone than 96,
but in our 20s, when I was in my 20s,
and they were 15 years younger than me,
they were like a child, like a tiny child.
It's such a big age gap, isn't it?
Yeah.
And then Gen Z is 97 to 2012.
So technically you're Gen Z, Shannon,
and so is my oldest daughter.
Yeah, and it's just like...
And there's nothing...
Yeah, that's wild.
I mean, you both are learning the same things now.
Like, don't touch the side of that tin.
It's really sharp.
And don't test if things are hot by putting your hand on them,
that sort of stuff.
But other than that, you've got nothing in common.
Like I've got like a degree, you know, and she's like not.
She's a child.
But yours isn't broadcasting, so really it doesn't count.
Oh, and what's yours, Vaughan?
What's your degree in?
Oh, mine's in broadcasting.
I know it's worthless.
I just did course.
I just went to course.
You've done course.
And honestly, can I just say.
Shut up, Gen X.
Yeah, Fletch.
He just wants to be a part of it.
Fletch did my lashes the other day and they look so good.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, course was radio and beauty.
Radio and beauty.
Yeah.
And tourism.
Yeah.
It was the three, wasn't it? Yeah. It was. It was media, tourism, and beauty. Radio and beauty. And tourism. Yeah. It was the three, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was.
Media, tourism, and beauty.
But no, it's a good point.
I completely agree.
Yeah.
It's two biggest spreads.
Yeah.
Whereas I'm on the cusp of millennial and Gen X,
but yeah, I feel like I'm both.
For a five-year gap.
I think a five-year gap feels appropriate.
Like a high school.
High school rules.
We are in classes like
high school. But then we're going to have too many
generations. We're going to run out of names for them.
Do you know what I mean? We'll be cycling back around the alphabet.
Every five years.
Like number plates.
We've got AI now. We can just be like, come up with
some new generation names and they'll be like Sigma
for like your daughters and then we can be
like Banana Bread.
Alpha slash cinema.
Generation banana bread.
The lockdown generation.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- been called the eye... Oh, guys. I thought this was going to be like... Oh, yeah, I've heard that before. Nah. Hold on, let's try again.
Nah.
Use your acting skills.
Okay.
Because you know how the canine tooth
is also called the eye tooth?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the eye tooth.
You went a bit too hard.
You oversaw it.
Fletch, pull it back, my dude.
Less is more.
Acting is reacting.
Boom.
What if Walter Goggins had done that
to Sam Rockwell during that scene
in White Lotus?
It wouldn't have stuck.
It wouldn't have stuck.
It was his downplayed reaction
that made that scene
so magical
well it's called
The Eye Tooth
and it's really
really simple
it's directly
below the eye
oh duh yeah
it's supposed to
line up with
the lowest point
of your eye
yeah yeah yeah
the fangs
the fangs
sometimes called
the fangs
we shear them
they're a shared tooth
we call them
the canines
because it's a
shared tooth
between us
and the dogs.
Right.
So they get called that.
But then I was like, I remember saying I'd give my eye teeth for that.
Ever heard that saying?
No.
So I was like, what?
Use your acting.
Fletch, use your acting.
Have you ever heard that saying I'd give my eye teeth for that?
No.
No, try again.
Say yes.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, so have you ever heard that saying I'd give my eye teeth for that?
Yeah. What was that? What was that? It was like horny. Okay, yeah. So have you ever heard that saying I give my eye teeth for that? Yeah.
What was that?
What was that?
It was like horny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So apparently the eye tooth, very, very valuable,
kind of holds the structure of the jaw and the teeth together.
Okay.
Because it's kind of like one of the centers on each side.
And if you remove it, it's obviously very important for eating as well.
Yeah. Because it's sharp so it can cut through things.
But it also holds the jaw in line.
And then I was like, what other dental
sayings are there? Let me hit with
some. When someone's long in the tooth.
Yep. What does that mean?
They've got long teeth. They're
old. They're getting old. They're getting old.
And it's not actually, they're not longer in the tooth, they're shorter in the
gum. Or receding gums. I've got a couple of those. Which gives the impression, they're not longer in the tooth, they're shorter in the gum. Or receding gums.
I've got a couple of those.
Which gives the impression that they're getting long in the tooth, but the tooth hasn't changed,
it's just the gum's receding.
So you've got to have a soft toothbrush.
Yeah.
That's right.
Super soft.
By the skin of your teeth.
Because it's poetic because teeth don't have skin.
Oh, yep.
Armed to the teeth is when pirates or warriors were said to be so loaded with weapons they'd have to hold knives in their mouth. Oh, yep. Armed to the teeth is when pirates or warriors were said to
be so loaded with weapons they'd have to hold knives
in their mouth. Oh. Like so
that if something happened and they dropped
the sword. Be careful. They'd hold them in their
teeth and forward. To lie
through your teeth is another saying
that involves teeth. That's derived from the idea
that you'd be falsely smiling
while being deceitful. So you're using
Yeah. You're kind of like smiling.
You're telling a lie through your teeth.
A kick in the teeth.
Obviously, that's like a harsh setback
because it's literally like being kicked in the teeth.
Sweet tooth, which just started as an excuse
for why you like sweets.
You had a sweet tooth.
You had a craving for it.
Cutting your teeth on something.
You know, in Lorde's favourite song,
she says she cuts her teeth on wedding rings.
It's because baby's teeth cut.
It's cutting through the gums.
Right.
Is the origins of the saying of cutting your teeth on something.
It's like you're new and it's a new experience
and it might be painful,
but you push on through, you cut your teeth on it.
So today's fact of the day is there's actually lots of sayings
to do with our teeth.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

We all have friends that give us perks.
I have a friend who makes wine.
I get wine.
And I'm sometimes a perk for my friends because every now and then I'll throw a candle their way.
But producer.
Wait, you'll re-gift a gift?
Well, so, you know, like we're very lucky.
No, we're very lucky that, you know, we often get sent candles,
and I'll share the love, you know.
But, Producer Carwin, are you about to lose a friend perk?
Well, so, I have had a trusty nail gal for a while,
and I'm in the hunt for a new one.
But one of my best friends recently moved down to Gore,
and she is like a full-on beautician.
Gore?
Excuse my language.
She's from there, guys.
Oh, she's moving home.
She's moving home for a little bit.
Right.
It's cheaper to buy a house down there.
Yeah, it is.
And they've got a giant trout statue.
Yeah, dude.
What more do you need?
I think they have like one paper plus, you know?
Perfect.
But she can do nails. She can do spray tans. How many paper pluses do you need? I think they have like one paper plus, you know? Perfect. But she can do nails.
She can do spray tans.
How many paper pluses do you want?
At least three.
At least three.
At least three.
I require three in my local vicinity.
I'm quite happy with one paper plus and a wall.
It'd be weird walking down a small town street
and there's three paper plus.
I'm just saying it's like a store that I need to have in my life. Right, okay.
And sometimes one paper plus has a book in
stock but the other one doesn't so you have to go to the other one.
Anyway, she can do
spray tans, nails, like everything
beautician wise. Do my upper lip,
do my eyebrows. But she
doesn't live close to me. So
your friend perks have all gone. So they're gone.
But would you pay her
or it'd just be a cheap rate or free?
Cheap rate.
Okay.
I'm a good friend.
Still a perk though.
Still a perk.
It's a friend perk.
Yeah.
Well, this is like Dr. Shawnee.
Oh my gosh.
When Hayley gets her rashes out, you get free rash analysis.
Free medical advice.
Yeah.
The answer is all age hydrocortisone.
Yeah.
I know, but I'll still ask just to make sure every time.
Yeah.
Every time.
Yeah, that's definitely a perk having a friend as a doctor.
Would you say that us being professional speakers is a perk?
Because how many weddings have we emceed?
Oh, between us, a lot.
So many.
Or like we got your dad a discount, didn't we,
at the moto repair shop, the motorcycle place.
Phil's Motorcycle Centre in Marlborough.
Shout out.
That was a perk.
Huge.
No, dad will wheel around a perk every now and then.
But also, yeah, mum's always like,
don't promise anybody anything, Ian.
And he's like, I haven't.
And then he winks at me and I'm like, he has.
Okay, this is what we want to know this morning.
0800 DARS at M9696.
What is your friend perk?
What do your friends come to you for?
Well, maybe you have perks but no friends and will be your friend for perks.
Oh, absolutely.
But I love perks.
Oh, like maybe you're the friend with a batch in the Coromandel.
Oh, dude, I was just saying we need more friends with family batches.
Family batch, family batch.
Maybe it's your skills, your job that gives you a certain, I don't know.
Yeah, builders love hearing about that on the weekends, don't they?
Oh, God, yeah, that's the thing.
This weekend.
And everybody expects it for free, don't they?
Yeah.
You wouldn't be able to help me on the weekend with a fence, could you, mate?
Man, there's some people with some cool friends on this text machine
I've got open here.
Do you want to hear some?
Or do you want to go to some callers?
Up to you.
That's a perk of being my friend.
I let you choose.
It's a terrible perk.
That perk sucks.
Matt, you have a friend that has a helicopter.
Yeah, look, I'm very fortunate.
I've got a lot of amazing friends,
but one of them does have a big seven-seater helicopter.
Seven seats!
Yeah, yeah, it's a big helicopter. And I rang him one day and said, what do you want to do today?. Seven seats! Yeah, yeah.
It's a big helicopter.
And I rang him one day and said,
what do you want to do today?
And he said, oh, nothing.
Probably going to go for a round of golf.
I said, well, can you jump in the chopper and shoot me up to Auckland
to pick up this truck part that I need
and then fly me down to Haweta
so we can get this milk tanker back on the road?
And he went, yeah, as long as you pay for lunch.
And so did I.
Oh, my God.
Dude, what does that cost?
That's so cool.
What does that cost in helicopter petrol?
I think they call it aviation fuel.
Two and a half grand in fuel, about that.
Wow.
So you paid for fuel and lunch, or just fuel?
Or just lunch?
I just paid for lunch.
I'm not paying for his fuel.
It's your fuel, bro.
You used it.
No, but he gets his hours up, doesn't he?
What? But also, when. You used it. No, but he gets his hours up, doesn't he? What?
But also when you said seven seater,
I immediately pictured like a people mover of helicopters.
Yeah, me too.
Big chunky boy.
Like a Kia, what are they called?
A Kia Sportage.
A big people mover.
Yeah.
Matt, thank you.
Heidi, what is your friend perk?
I don't think I can compete with the helicopter,
but I make birthday cakes for my friends
and their children all the time
And do you charge or do people expect them for free?
No, oh God no, they know
Heidi, A, the ingredients of a good birthday cake aren't cheap
and just the hours invested in this is next level
for you to be doing this for too many people
I did silly leave work it out one day And just the hours invested in this is next level for you to be doing this for too many people.
I did sillily work it out one day and I was like, God.
But, you know, they get so happy.
Oh, that's amazing.
Yeah, because they just got something for nothing.
That would have cost them $300 otherwise.
Yes, it would.
But, you know, it's the thought, right?
It's a joy.
It's a joy. Cut them off.
How do they get one joy. Cut them off, Heidi.
They get one each.
Cut them off.
I would at least ask for some ingredients, some money to cover the ingredients.
I am 100%.
Heidi, thank you.
Some messages in.
My partner that works on cars and all of our friends just come around all the time for

Do you have any friends? What perks do you give your friends?
I give them just me.
Me as a perk.
Oh, shut up.
I'm the perk.
I've got some burpees for you.
My personality is not burpees, Fletch.
No, but mates with batches and boats is just like the best.
Batches over boats.
Batches over boats.
If you're going on boats, you feel obligated to contribute to the cost.
To the petrol.
Yeah.
But a batch, you can absolutely guilt-free leave early on Sunday morning
and they have to clean up their family's batch.
Yeah, absolutely.
Guys, I've got to get back.
I have to work Sunday afternoon getting ready for Monday.
I'm going to hit the road early.

they're the worst.
They're the worst people.
Some messages in,
I'm a beauty therapist
and all my friends could,
they could get free Brazilian waxes,
but they say they could never look me in the eye afterwards.
So they chose not to.
I'm like, hey, you're lost.
Oh yeah.
I've seen plenty of them.
That's interesting.
Would you let,
cause you,
you will get Brazilians, right?
But it's with a stranger,
but would you let your friend do it?
My,

and then you've got to go and be like, so how was your day?
It's just not a...
Directly down the eye of it, Georgia.
It's not a bloody hurricane.
Yours might look like a tornado has been through, Georgia,
but you can't push that on everybody else.
That's why they call her Arkansas.
It looks like a smashed up caravan.
Jesus.
Come on, Ellen.
I'm sorry, Georgia.
I wouldn't say it to anybody else.
I just.
I'm so sorry.
I just got carried away.
I got carried away.

and my husband and I have five girls between us
and two goddaughters,
and they all want free lashes every three weeks.
Jeez, that's a lot.
They're going to be paying,
and the lashes aren't free.
My bestie's husband used to work at Eden Park,
and we got tickets to all the corporate events,
tickets to pink, rugby, the motorbike stunt show.
Corporate, that was pretty cool.
My husband's an electrician, his cousin's a plumber,
and our neighbours who are good friends are the builders,
so we also have the love triangle of tradies.
That's a real thing.
You've hit the trifecta if you've got mates that have that.
Can cover it all.
I work for an alcohol company,
and my friends always have full fridges when we get damaged boxes.
Damaged boxes.
Damaged boxes.
Kick.
Oh, that's damaged.
Punch. Oh, no. My husband's a paramedic

has a fever. The advice is always the same
Drink water, take paracetamol, rest and have a raro
And if you're that worried, go to a doctor
Stop calling us
Somebody said I used to have a
70% discount at a few large local retailers.

And we just use their card to get discounts on everything.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
I have a friend who's put me in the insurance for their $400,000 Porsche and said I can
