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.

Friends reunited forever, until I go to Wellington next week.
Hey guys.
Yo.

Yo, what up?
Don't you dare start this show by calling me the B word, okay?
Bebe, bebe.
Pretend you didn't miss me.
I missed you.
I missed you. I'll say it. I missed you.
We were in the group chat every day. I don't think there was
any missing. I don't think anything
was missing from the group chat.
No. Thankfully, those
chats delete after 24 hours. They
disappear. Forever
except on Meta's servers,
right?
I've also been screenshotting them all.
I've had the hard word from the Zuck.
Oh Zuck, he confirmed they're gone?
Nah. Nah Bo, say what you want. What was it that was in
something was in WhatsApp. I put it in prep
it was one of those classic things where it's like
WhatsApp users are disgusted at this something
and then I didn't read the article. prep. It was one of those classic things where it's like WhatsApp users are disgusted at this something. And then
I didn't read the article.
So what you've done here is you've brought it into the chat.
But I was like, people use WhatsApp.
They'd love to hear about this. No, I read
this article. It was rubbish. Oh, what did they
hate? I can't remember. I didn't say that.
You really read it. No, I started reading it.
It's the AI. Oh, the AI button.
What's wrong with the AI button, dude?
I've had that for ages on all the other ones
all the other ones
Instagram and
Facebook Messenger
have had them for ages
it does suck
yeah
it does suck
but this is just
the world now
isn't it
we're going to be
all AI
I don't use
Meta's AI
coming up on the show
the top six one
in fact Hayley
you were just in Brisbane
did you find it
a romantic city
honestly it was amazing.
Brisbane has got very cool in the last like 20 years.
Cool shops, cool food, a lot of money,
a lot of Porsches and Ferraris driving around.
I was staying in the nice strip.
Oh, must be nice.
Must be nice.
I didn't allow myself to walk into a single store.
Because it was just like you won't leave without bleeding money.
Yeah, yeah.
But it was lovely.
I really enjoyed Brisbane.
Well, it turns out that Brisbane has beaten Paris in a ranking of the world's most romantic cities.
We'll delve into this article soon.
But Vaughan, you have top six.
That's nuts.
Yeah, the top six reasons Brisbane's been romantic all along.
Those Aussies, they know how to romance, don't they?
Oh, they do.
Yeah.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Apparently, there is a new trend in weddings
that has made people have their weddings on a Wednesday.
Wednesday?
Wednesday.
Because, you know, Friday became the new one.
Well, it used to be Sunday for Christ, for Jesus.
Oh, yeah, way back in the day.
Yeah, because it was all about getting married.
I didn't know that.
I always thought it would have just been Saturday.
No, Sunday, because you're at church.
Oh, right.
And then I feel everybody was doing a Friday
because Saturdays were the most expensive day
to hire any wedding venue.
Yeah.
And then that also became expensive.
So now people have started doing a Wednesday, Thursday.
But they were doing Thursdays.
I've been to a Thursday because then you can kind of take a long weekend and enjoy it.
You're like, sure, this is all this money.
Yeah.
But now Wednesdays for the pure reason of like cheapness and.
I mean, we want to do Tuesdays and do tacos.
I'm just saying.
If I went to a wedding and there was tacos.
Dirt.
Who's mad?
But then why not do Monday?
Because then you could just have a long weekend.
But also, dude, it would ruin the week
because it would be assumed you would need to go back to work
or whatever you do.
Okay, they would need to be a very good friend
for me to take a day off work, of leave.
So this is what they're saying is like,
it offers a unique combination of potential cost savings, right? So the venue will be cheaper and all that kind of leave. So this is what they're saying is like it offers a unique combination of potential cost savings,
right?
So the venue will be cheaper
and all that kind of stuff
and probably your high ridge
for a photographer
will be cheaper.
And also flights for guests
as well will be cheaper
in that way.
Unless you live in New Zealand.
But also,
as you,
oh yeah,
no.
You're better to fly to Australia
and have your wedding there
and everyone comes there.
Yeah.
But also it does like,
they go,
it'll kind of cut out the riffraff
who are like,
I'm not,
I can't take Wednesday
because then I've got to take Thursday.
Yeah.
Oh,
and then imagine taking Raya.
Now for two days away you'll leave.
I'm not going to do that for a colleague.
that was always the idea of,
like a Raro wedding or something.
Yeah,
destination wedding.
Cut out a bit of riffraff.
Yeah,
totally.
Or just don't invite riffraff.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah,
you actually don't have to invite Ruff Raff.
That's the thing.
Like, don't invite these people.
Yeah, I know.
I love that people are like, oh, God, we're going to elope so that no one comes.
And you're like, just don't invite anyone.
Yeah.
And save yourself the money.
Somebody just messaged in, I'm going to a wedding on a Monday soon.
I've taken the Tuesday off for the hangover.
So they have to take two days of their own annual leave.
How good are friends of those?
Yeah.
Monday kind of rules, though.
I'd take two days annual leave for like a good friend.
Unless it's that Monday holiday that's coming up.
Isn't there a...
Like we've got a Matariki on a King's birthday coming up.
Oh, yeah.
Are they Fridays, though?
Wait, is King's the Friday?
No, one of them's a Monday.
King's Labour's Monday.
Labour's Monday.
Matariki's Friday. Yeah. And King's is Monday. them's a Monday. Kings. Labour's Monday. Labour's Monday. Matariki's Friday.
Yeah.
And King's is Monday.
King's is Monday.
Because we're planning something.
We've just got plans.
We've just got plans.
I've got plans too.
No, I've already got plans.
No, you're not involved in our plans.
For what?
King's birthday.
Yeah.
Dude, I've had plans for King's birthday for months.
What are you doing?
What are you for months?
Months.
Months in advance.
Because we've probably had our plans for month plus.
I know this has been the countdown.
There's been a countdown that was up in the 90s at one stage.
So, you know, it's been there for a long time.
Wow.
Okay.
He's been planning.
Planning this weekend.
I know I've had no involvement in planning.
I left the planning to other people.
I know.
That's how well I specialise in.
Okay.
Because otherwise, if you were planning it, you would have invited us.
Do you have a weekend plans? Because I've already got plans for that one as well. Yeah, no, we do. We do. Okay. Because otherwise, if you were planning it, you would have invited us. weekend plans?

Wait, what do you mean you do?
I thought we did.
What are you doing?
I'm not telling you what I'm doing.
Oh.
Well, maybe we've got plans for them.
No, I've already got plans.
It is exciting.
Why so I'm planless?
It is exciting that in the next couple of months
there are two long weekends coming up.
Yeah, I know,
but then you know what it means
is like towards the end of the year
there's nothing.
Yeah, then we hit the Sahara Desert of long weekends.
And then Labor Day gives us a...
Little kiss.
Little kiss.

Today's Silly Little Pole.
It's all about cottage cheese because cottage cheese is having a revival.
I feel like growing up, I always remember mum had cottage cheese.
Yeah.
Or gran, maybe.
Because it's low fat.
Because it's low fat, high protein.
It was low fat, right?
That's only one point on my Weight Watchers graph.
But that is why it's having a resurgence
because it's protein.
It's low fat.
And yeah, for a dairy product,
it's pretty bad.
It's yuck.
I just find it's quite bland. It's yuck. Like it's all right if you mix it in with stuff. It's watery. It's pretty bad. It's yuck. I just find it's quite bland.
It's yuck.
Like, it's all right if you mix it in with stuff.
It's watery.
It's pissy.

I don't like it at all.
It's pissy.
It's curdley.
It's yuck.
I tried to get into it because I've seen this all over my socials,
and I was like, yeah, good, easy protein.
Yuck.
Well, yeah, because of the online presence of cottage cheese,
the demand in New Zealand is going nuts.
Yeah, supermarkets are saying they're seeing a huge spike in demand for cottage cheese.
And it's all because, yeah, TikTok and Reels and people are going crazy for it.
Are you loving cottage cheese at the moment, is our silly little poll.
76% of people said no.
We are not loving cottage cheese.
Have you tried grated cheese?
Oh my God, I could just grate a block of cheese
and just eat it.
It's actually rude that it has the word cheese in the title.
Yeah.
You don't deserve that.
No.
So Woolworths New Zealand has seen a 50% increase
in cottage cheese in the last three months alone.
Dairy gel would be a better name than cottage cheese.
Dairy gel.
Dairy jelly?
Yeah.
White jelly.
Milk jelly.
Protein jelly.
Milk, by-product protein jelly.
It needs a marketing name change for sure.
Cottage cheese.
So only pro milk.
Only 24% of people are loving cottage cheese.
Okay.
And they're lying.
They don't love it. They're using it, but they're not are loving cottage cheese. Okay. And they're lying. Do you know what I mean?
They don't love it.
They're using it, but they're not loving the cottage cheese.
They might be, like, chucking some, like, chili on it
or some other stuff that's giving it a profile boost.
Sigourney.
Weaver.
Good.
Regular listener to the show, Ian.
Good morning to you.
Homemade cottage cheese and lasagna with cheese sauce levels it up.
Now, I feel like the cheese sauce is doing the heavy lifting on the cheese.
You've added cheese to the cottage cheese.
For the cheese family there.
Yeah.
But yum.
Would it go good with a mac?
It would go good with any cheesy dish, like a mac and cheese.
To beef it out a bit.
Yeah.
But it's not the hero.
You're masking it.
How do you do homemade cottage cheese?
So Sigourney Weaver's got the time to be doing homemade cottage cheese?
Wow.
Well, she hasn't had many acting roles recently.
She's been quite, I haven't seen her on any movies.
No.
I've seen her on a few things lately.
Like what?
I know she's going to be in the Mandalorian and Grogu movie.
Yeah, but she's still got time to make.
Milk and vinegar.
Is that?
Why?
Are you kidding me?
So, a bit of cream, a little bit of cream, full cream milk and vinegar.
Because you're curdling it.
Oh. You're making curd. I'm good, eh?
Yeah, I'm fine. Give me a bloody block
of Tasty any day. Surely that's
got the same protein content. Doctor told me
I had to pull back from Tasty.
Your doctor needs to go back to school.
Seriously, what do
doctors know?
Bonnie Weaver was in The Gorge. Did you watch that?
No. I think you'd like it. Was it about the rebuilding of the was in The Gorge. Did you watch that? No.

She was in that.
She was in The Avatar.
She's been in Ghostbusters.
She's been busy enough.
Still got time to make cottage cheese at home.
She's still got time to make cottage cheese at home.
I'd turn my homemaking into like homemade kefir or, you know, kombucha.
Yeah, good for the gut health.
Sam said cottage cheese is such a mum food.
All I remember about it is mum eating it on those old polystyrene crackers.
Yes, rice cakes.
It is a mum food.
It is a Jenny Craig Weight Watchers hangover.
That's a Weight Watchers.
Yeah.
Hayley says,
Dietician told me to eat it to increase my protein intake.
Oh, yeah, brah.
You can buy that in bags, though, in powder form.
They taste like strawberries and things.
Grumpy Lisa.
Grumpy Lisa.
She says, welcome back, friends.
Grumpy Lisa has always loved her cottage cheese.
Third person Grumpy Lisa. I love that welcome back, friends. Grumpy Lisa has always loved her cottage cheese. Third person Grumpy Lisa.
I love that.
Just the boring way, though.
On toast or crackers with capsicums and hot chilli sauce.
See, that would be nice.
The chilli sauce is doing the work.
Sweet chilli sauce, Carl Peter Fletcher.
That's what she said.
I don't actually know any sweet chilli sauce anymore.
No.
It's not good for the gut.
It's not good for the gut.
High in sugar.
It's very good.
High in sugar.
Yeah, but doesn't your kombucha need sugar to kick off?
Yeah, but it gets eaten up.
Yeah, but if it's in your stomach, it'll eat it up for you.
No.
No, that's not how it works.
That's not how it works for me.
I've got a thick friend, eh?
Sometimes he's so sick.
Doesn't know how kombucha's made.
Love cottage cheese, says Jessica, and so does my toddler.
They don't know anything.
What are these people? 80 years old?
God, she sucks.
Yeah.
It looks and feels like it's been eaten and regurgitated
and I'm not a baby bird, so it's not for me, says Lou.
That's actually what happens in the factory.
It's just people regurgitating milk
and milk comes from the bile of the stomach.
Danielle said, I've always loved it.
Even when it wasn't cool.
Please let the OG lovers first in the queue.
We've seen it without its full face of makeup on in the morning and we loved it anyway.
Please step away from the cottage cheese, Gen Z.
This is what happens when somebody gets onto your thing you've always loved.
Your trend.
You're like, welcome.
I've been here the whole time.
Katie said, I put cottage cheese in everything.
Nachos, basic mince, pasta, and on toast with tomatoes and bagel seasoning.
Yeah, that would be good.
That would be good.
I mean, like a creamy mince. I'm not having bloody factory. I'm not having creamy mince, pasta, and on toast with tomatoes and bagel seasoning. Yeah, that would be good. That would be good. I mean, like a creamy mince.
I'm not having bloody factory.
I'm not having creamy mince.
No, I know.
I'm tomatoey mince.
Yeah, tomatoey mince.
I don't even like creamy pasta.
I'm not having creamy mince.
This is the most creamy pasta guy, Fletch.
I love creamy pasta.
Do you know I had a chipotle chicken creamy pasta,
and it was the most amazing.
Chipotle chicken, yes.
You know, your middle name should be fettuccine.
I'll try it.
It was amazing.
You are carbonara through and through.
You are carbonara.
ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley.
Coffee shop raves.
This is the new trend in London.
No booze.
It's the morning.
We've got iced lattes in hands and there's a DJ spinning the decks.
Wait, it's the morning.
It's the morning.
Oh, I don't need loud music that loud in the morning.
Oh, God, Grandpa, come on.
You work in radio and you blast music into your ears all morning.
But it's not rave music.
Yeah, I like a nice, chill coffee environment.
Well, that's all you know.
Gigi Perez.
Gigi Perez.
I think we've added a G. I like Chuck and the Nick couple extra's all you know. Gigi Perez. Gigi Perez. I think we've added a G.
I like chucking in a couple extra Gs in there.
Gigi Perez-es.
So this is the thing that they're doing.
And they'll have actual DJs come and do spots in cafes in London,
like pop-up performances, not smoking marijuana off of knives.
Right.
That's naughty.
So they do these little spots in these shops
and then people just like get their coffee
and they have a little boogie before they head to work.
And it's like huge.
Apparently there's like tons of places that are doing this.
Kind of like an energising...
A little pump you want before you go to work.
Okay.
And then like DJ sets, like proper DJs will come
and people are like, oh my God, I really want to see that DJ.
Really?
And you're going to get your bloody mochaccino.
Okay.
Because, you know, there's a very like,
it's very popular to be,
they're calling it sober conscious.
Right.
You know, like people like partying less,
drinking less.
That's what you do, isn't it?
Well, I prefer to be conscious.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, right, yeah.
But like, and so apparently this is all around Europe as well.
Like in Germany, they're huge.
In Zurich, look, and they're like going off.
People are just like, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot.
What?
Hands in the air, but we're in a coffee shop.
They are actually like, it's daytime.
They're raving.
They're raving lunatics is what they are.
They're saying a lot of people are sick of going out.
Can't relate. They want a change from nightlife
Becoming more conscious about drinking too
Especially in the younger generations
So they don't want a hangover
But they still want to have the vibes of a party
Gather at a coffee shop
Get your iced latte
Yeah I don't know
I'm good.
Not a bad time of the day.
I hit some clerbs while I was away.
Did you?
Yeah, I hit a couple of clurb dancers.
It was good fun.
You hit some clerbs.
I believe on your holiday overseas there were some clerbs.
Did you hit some clerbs?
No, I didn't hit some clubs.
Oh, wow.
I thought you said you went out though.
You must have hit the clerbs.
Yeah, we went out.
No, we went out.
I didn't stay out late, late though.
Yeah, bars.
Bars more than curbs.
Saunas, curbs.
I like my sleep.
Yeah, you do.
Well, this would be perfect for you.
You go, like, I mean, we'd finish work, say, nine-ish.
I would change coffee shops if my favourite coffee shop had a rave in it.
But then you go to the gym after work and I've heard those classes that you go to,
they're almost rave adjacent.
Yeah, actually, sometimes. But that's fitness. It that you go to, they're almost rave adjacent.
Yeah, actually, sometimes.
But that's fitness.
It's different.
Yeah, well, this is fitness too.
Yeah, it's fitness.
There's coffee in my mouth.

From the unmoderated comments section, this is the Top 6.
Hello there.
Today's top six deals with the fact that Brisbane has been voted a very romantic city.
Brisbane, Australia.
Yes, Brisbane, Australia.
So how this worked is they analysed 553 cities around the world.
They used three key factors.
One was the number of times attractions within the city were dubbed romantic by TripAdvisor users.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The number of couple-friendly things to do in each city.
And the number of hashtag date night and city name hashtags were featured on social media.
Wow.
And, yeah, the results revealed that London, they took the crown.
More than a quarter of London's...
Because that's where the king lives.
Yeah, more than a quarter of London's main attractions
were described as romantic by visitors.
Brisbane came in as Australia's most romantic destination
and was, yeah, sixth spot.
Wow.
And ranked just behind Rome three spots ahead of Paris,
which was nine.
Paris was nine?
So Paris has more things for couples to do,
but Brisbane has a higher percentage of attractions
that were rated as romantic.
Romantic.
The Louvre Museum's not really romantic.
It's arty.
Yeah, so a bit boring and probably a bit crowded.
London, New York, Miami, Toronto, Rome, Brisbane,
Las Vegas, Dubai, Paris, Melbourne.
I will just stop you at one.
Yeah, beautiful.
Beautiful and romantic.
You said Miami in there?
Yeah.
What attractions in Miami are romantic?
Can I see some hot, hot Latinas?
Yeah.
What do you need?
The beach?
Sorry, what is your issue?
I will just put it out there, Vaughan, that you would die in Miami.
I do, my dude!
You don't need to tell me!
Seep up.
I cannot go to Miami.
You won't last.
I won't last, yeah.
He'll never come back.
Top six reasons Brisbane's been romantic all along.
Number six on the list.
Their sports teams are the Brisbane Broncos and the Brisbane Lions.
Broncos have massive wangs,
and Lions make love every 30 minutes during their heat.
Do they?
Do they?
Yeah.
What a shag-a-thon.
It's a real shag-a-thon.
Wow.
Every 30 minutes.
So that's romantic.
You were just in Brisbane.
Were you making love every 30 minutes?
I was not at all.
Oh, my goodness.
No.
You're sending massive wangs.
I didn't even see a single wang in Brisbane.
You're doing holidays all wrong.
I was working.
Oh, okay.
Working.
That is how I'm doing holidays wrong, to be honest.
Number five on the list of the top six reasons Brisbane's been romantic all along.
Being called the C word is a romantic term of endearment there.
It is.
And here as well, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, a little bit.
You forget that when you go overseas and start dropping some of our language. Americans don't like it, do they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit. You forget that when you go overseas and start dropping
some of our language.
Americans don't like it,
do they?
No, they don't.
Number four on the list
of the top six reasons
Brisbane's romantic all along.
The river,
the Brisbane River
that runs through it,
there's poo brown,
the colour of true love.
Is it?
Yep.
It's a real brown river.
Love is dead.
Love is dead.
Love is brown rivers
rolling through cities.
Love is poop water. Well, the CN rolls
through Paris. Yeah, it does. And it's brown
and they try to clean it up and everyone
went swimming in there for the Olympics. Got sick.
Didn't work. Number three
on the list of the top six reasons
Brisbane's been romantic all along. Sure,
you can sip Moet Chambon
under the shadow of the
Eiffel Tower in Paris.
But have you ever nailed a 4X in one go
from a can under the Story Bridge?
Wow.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful.
That's so magic.
That is beautiful.
Maybe love is a life.
Just when they crack the lid,
you stab the side of the can with something
and you're like, shotgun it,
and then they do it,
and then you make love.
Marry me now.
Yeah.
My heart's actually getting sort of flutters.
Yeah. Number two on the list of the Yeah. My heart's actually getting sort of flutters. Yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six reasons Brisbane's been romantic all along.
Yeah, sure, you could propose up the Eiffel Tower,
or you could drive an hour down the road from Brisbane to Dreamworld
and propose at the top of Tower of Terror.
Wow.
Both high, both great news, both very romantic.
Beautiful.
And number one on the list of the top six reasons Brisbane's been romantic all along.
The French might have invented the menage a trois.
But you haven't lived till you've had the Queensland Eau du Quintet.
Oh, the quintet.
Quintet.
Five way.
Wow, okay.
It's a five way.
Wow, that's romantic.
So romantic.
Where are the other three coming from?
There's more romance.
There's more people, thus more romance.
It gets more romantic. Yeah. Where are they coming from? There's more romance. There's more people, thus more romance. It gets more romantic.
Yeah.
Where are they coming from?
I don't know.
They're just there.
They're there.
That's Brisbane, baby.
And that's today's top six.
AIs are handy for lots of things.
Recipes, meal planning.
Yep.
Itineraries.
Someone to talk to.
Do you know what?
Oh, my God? Straight up.
It is.
It's been implemented.
I was reading an article being implemented in old folks' homes
where the nurse to old person ratio is so low
that it's basically voice AI.
Just keep some company.
And people are turning to AI companions and chatbots.
Even young people.
I read an article and it talked to all these different people
that have AI friends.
And I was like,
why are they ever going to be out on sex with robots?
What?
When?
Do you have a date on that?
Because I thought 2025 had a nice sort of round year
where the sex robots would be there.
We're not waiting until 2030.
That's too late.
I simply cannot wait another five years.
I mean, theory, I, the royal I.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was speaking on behalf of people.
But one kind of argument that's popped up over AI,
I guess it's kind of an ethical dilemma.
Yeah, I think so.
A lot of people are turning to AI for therapy.
Yes.
And there's a lot of articles about it and the pros and the cons.
Okay, so here's some of the good points.
Okay.
Therapy accessibility.
Technology and AI are making it easier to access it
because professional therapy is either hard to get an appointment from,
not living in your house.
You know, you've got to travel to it and it's very expensive.
Very expensive.
It's very expensive.
So many people are shut out of it.
Very much a privileged situation to be able to afford it.
There's lots of free counselling in New Zealand,
but it's hard to get because the services are limited.
And also, some people might be embarrassed to do that.
That's another one of the points I see.
The fear of therapy, individuals,
especially those that find it intimidating, and opening up to another human, find it so scary.
And even like going into a therapist's office and coming out and someone spotting you and you'd be like, oh, fine.
That's good stuff.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Hi.
Where am I?
So I'm guessing the bad points are we all know that AI isn't there yet.
And you're dealing with mental health.
Yeah.
That's the thing, right?
Like there's a duty of care that a professional has studied.
So yeah, AI tools are helpful for simple life challenges like navigating conversations or how to deal with something very basically, but not recommended for complex mental health issues.
Karwin in the producer's booth, you know someone that's been using
AI as a therapist.
Yeah, so one of my best friends
is going through a bit of a breakup
and she has tried a couple of
counsellor therapists.
One's a counsellor, one's a therapist.
Like a city counsellor
or an actual counsellor?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just checking.
That's probably where she's gone wrong there.
It's actually a Jedi counsellor.
Oh, right. They've not That's probably where she's gone wrong there. It's actually a Jedi counsellor. Oh, right.
They've not achieved the rank of Jedi Master.
I didn't get it, so I just sort of said, yeah, I'm moving it on.
They've not achieved the rank of Jedi Master.
So, Carwen, your friend's having a difficult time.
Yeah, and so she has tried a counsellor, she's tried a therapist,
hasn't really found that she clicks with, like, what they're saying, right?
They've given very basic advice, just Just like, listen to some fun music,
go to the gym, gal.
Jeez, okay.
That's terrible.
How much an hour did that cost?
I know.
But she turned to ChatGPT.
Oh my gosh, the screenshot she sent me
of what it's like giving her advice on
was incredible.
Like that's what you expect from a real therapist.
I sort of think with something like a breakup
that is part of life, it's not a
mental health diagnosis,
maybe we'll give you good tips.
Yeah, because it's not a massive
breakup, but it's not
an easy one. And so just
being able to talk to this chat
and it's saying, oh, you know, this
happens and ways to cope
with it. Incredible. Here's a recipe
for snitchel. Yeah. Here. Here's a recipe for snitchel. Yeah!
Here's how to get the perfect snitchel
coating. Have a schnitty and a wine.
You'll be alright. Wow!
See, I reckon that's if it's accessible
and yeah, like, you wouldn't
be able to access a therapist or someone to talk to.
It's all about accessibility. I'm for it in that way.
I just get worried if someone's having
really a big conundrum
in their life. Young, yeah, yeah.
Young people in particular, and they're asking chat GPT or, you know, something bigger.
And then you fall in love with your laptop or your phone.
Now you're shagging.
No, we don't have the sex robot attachment.
We're not there yet.
What are all these slots in the side for?
For pasta at the moment.
Oh, okay.
Pasta attachments.
Oh, God.
That doesn't work.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Now, our dear friend, big-hearted James.
RIP.
Has left us.
He's moved to London to do his OE.
Don't RIP him, though.
Relocated in peace.
Do you know that, because he just turned 30 on his last birthday,
the lady, as a man or a lady,
when they were going through airport security,
I think he'd been crying and they said,
oh, why have you been crying?
He's like, oh, because I'm doing my OA.
And they said, oh, you're a little old to be doing that.
Oh, my God.
He would have hated that.
That's sass.
That's sass.
The time that someone asked you and him if you guys went to school together.
He's 15 years younger than you.
I know.
He was like.
Yeah, I remind him of that on the daily.
Also, is it any of your business why you've been crying?
Like you're in an airport.
People cry in an airport.
What a weird line of questioning.
Why have you been crying?
Why have you been crying?
Where'd they ask that?
In America.
No, in New Zealand.
In New Zealand?
No, you don't do that.
Jeez, who's working in customs?
My mum?
Yeah.
What have you been crying for?
Oh, what have you got to cry about?
What have you got to cry about?
And then my dad pops out of nowhere saying,
I'll give you something to cry about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And belts it through to your 30-year-old man.
It was a group of us did a bit of a farewell tour
for our dear friend James.
We went to America and Mexico.
And there was an Airbnb in Mexico that a few of us were staying in.
Oh, it was lovely.
Had amazing views and had this whole glass-like panel out to the balcony.
And you could fold all the doors and leave it open.
But we just left the door open because it was too much effort.
Lazy.
And anyway, as the night went on, there were some drinks.
And James, our dear friend James, ran into one of the glass panels that he thought was open to the balcony.
Clean.
Clean, though.
Went dong.
Yeah, yeah.
And then we all saw this and turned around.
It was a, just run into the glass door.
That noise, ain't it?
Dong, dong, dong.
Of the glass?
And then,
I know we should have been more caring,
but it was just so funny.
And he had a comical cartoon bump on his head for the next day.
Oh my gosh.
For the next day.
I love it so much.
It was so funny.
I love seeing security camera footage of people
walking into Eshoga.
I was literally just looking up
the security camera footage.
I wanted that sound,
that boom.
Do you know, I didn't admit this,
but the last day we were saying that,
I went to run and grab my towel,
and I nearly did it as well.
Because it was so clear.
It didn't have one of those frost tapes across it.
No, you need tape across.
But I know why people don't put tape,
because it ruins the view and it looks tacky.
But this is what I wanted to know,
because it was so funny.
It is funny.
Like, when have you walked into glass
thinking it was open?
Fantastic.
I mean, people actually,
there's safety glass in these glass,
you know, windows and doors now,
but then didn't used to be for a long time, eh?
No, you would shatter it,
and it would tear you apart.
Yeah.
Now they have to go, like,
psh, basically, right?
Yeah, like kind of car glass glass where it kind of shatters.
Hard to break a double glazed.
Yeah, very hard.
I'm not saying impossible, but just walking into it, I don't think you'd break it.
It was funny and we can laugh about it now.
Yeah, because the moment's passed.
And why do the bumps from a glass come up so quick?
Yeah.
Or is this like Looney Tunes or something
yeah
it was a comical
cartoon bum
and it took a day
or so to go down
how quick
because you sent us a video
how quick did you
pick up your phone
to video the
aftermath
straight away
good friend
also by the way
he because the
glass door had a lock
on it
he broke that
off the window
but I just left it
there when we checked
out I kind of
pushed it against
the glass
oh yeah
not my fault
he had it with such force, he blew the lock.
Yeah, he blew the lock off the slider.
Jeez, that's powerful.
So this is what I want to know this morning,
because you see this happen sometimes.
I've stood at a bank waiting for the door to open,
the glass door, and realised it was a glass wall.
I've done that.
There's always those at the airport.
You're waving at it.
You know how the airport's got
like double doors
double doors
double doors
and then some just glass panels
are you there
bloody
God how skinny I am
I've lost a bit of weight
but
it's not
the sense is not picking me up
yeah
God I am
okay 0800 DALS at end
we want you to call us
you can text through
9696
when did you walk into glass
you thought it was open
that's the classic text from someone around our age my friend ran straight When did you walk into glass? You thought it was open.
That's the classic text from someone around our age.
My friend ran straight through a door when she was about nine.
It wasn't safety.
No, it wasn't safety glass. You used to just plough through them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The ranch slider.
Yeah, ranch slider.
The ranch slider.
It's always the money ranch.
Jade, good morning.
When did you walk into a glass door?
Hi, yeah, I was in Hamnet, and I think I was quite young at the time and we were just
in this like, it was like an antique shop or something like that across from
the lolly shop. What kind of lollies were you going to get?
I don't know, but I definitely didn't get any after this.
I'm not sure if it was even a door or just a window
and I sort of just went full blast,
just heading towards the lolly shop,
because I was quite bored of the shop we were in,
and just straight into the window, and I smashed it.
That would have been a hand-painted window too, you know,
like Florence's antiques or...
No, but it was obviously not painted, because you could walk...
Oh, you mean up above it might have had a logo.
Yeah, damn. I think it might have had a logo. Yeah, damn.
I think it was just like a big tall window
and all I could see was the lolly shop outside it
and I couldn't see anything for it.
That's their fault for keeping such a clean window though, isn't it?
It is their fault.
What was the damage?
It should be dusty.
What was the damage to you?
Yeah, well, oh, no, to me, I mean, I hit my knee.
It was pretty much my knee that went straight into the window
and I think I just managed to just shatter it and stuff like that.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So no lollies.
You didn't get any lollies.
We're a tough bitch on our hands.
We do have a tough day.
She put her knee through a window, no blood.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, mum was a bit angry after that, so no lollies.
Yeah, didn't mum have to pay for the window or was that insurance,
lolly insurance?
Yeah, I'm not really sure how it worked out, to be honest,
because it was awkward because it was just
with me and my friend and
her mum. So her mum was trying to sort it all out
as well and so I didn't hear the aftermath
of that. Oh no.
Somebody else's mum? Yeah.
Oh no. God, Jade.
Ah, Jade, thank you. Message is in.
I used to be a professional window cleaner.
One morning I'd just finished cleaning a shop's doors
and a lady walked straight into it, full on.
And she looked up at me with her bleeding nose and said,
well, you obviously did a great job.
High praise.
High praise.
I used to work in a bank.
And like you, Fletcher, we have heaps of people waiting at just glass windows to be let in.
Because banks now, sometimes you have to be buzzed in.
And so they'll just wait there for ages.
And then they'll start knocking on the window
and we're like, no, go down to the door.
I was at a bank waiting for it to open
and it just was a window.
And it wouldn't open.
Yeah.
It wouldn't open.
Someone said, I was about eight years old at family Christmas.
My grandparents had a fox terrier dog, very runny.
Yeah.
They run, don't they?
It was very excitable.
I wasn't very confident around dogs at the time.
Then the dog started running after me,
so I went to bolt out the glass sliding door.
But because it was Christmas, Nanny had polished the glass.
It was very clear.
Knocked myself out, fell flat on my back.
Nanny's polished it for Christmas.
Nanny loves a clean glass.
Checked into a hotel in Albania.
Oh, goodness.
Gosh.
Must be nice.
Must be nice.
It looks beautiful, Albania.
I want to go there one day.
Oh, I've never thought about that.
It's on the list.
Jewel Leaper.
Is she Albanian?
Okay.
Read Aura.
Okay.
Looks like Albanians are on your travel list.
She's already got flights booked.
That's what he's doing.
We're in Australia.
It's not.
Extremely tired, travelling with a two-year-old and a four-year-old
through a beautiful view outside and walked straight into a ranch lighter
and it exploded.
People came running wondering what the noise was
and found me on the ground with cuts on my arms and face.
It was a public holiday.
I had to call the glass repair.
The hotel was very kind about it and paid for the glass.
I would have been like a bird flew into it.
Yeah, same.
Or I've been sniped.
Sniped.
There's a sniper.
Sniped.
I would have been like, there's a sniper.
Get down, everybody.
Get down.
And then you don't have to pay for the window
because it's on the sniper.
Just remember that.
Oh my God, we nearly got sniped.
Yeah, just remember that.
Yeah.
It's Albania.
All the band guys in movies are from Albania.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They must have snipers.
Yeah, they've got snipers.
Yeah.
They've got snipers.
It's feasible that there would be a sniper in Albania.
Do a leap as a sniper.
Dude, she's got big sniper energy.
Yeah, she does.
Yes.
Back in the farmer's store days in Hoanganui,
our front doors were very clean
and we used to make bets on how long it would take
for a nun to walk into it.
Those windows were always spotless.
It never took more than half an hour for an old tiger
to walk into the door.
Oh my God, that is brilliant.
I watched a stranger do it.
She had it with such force,
she left half her makeup on the door. You know when you're like a stranger do it. She had it with such force she left half her makeup
on the door.
You know when you're like
bleh.
Oh that was the best thing
about the Airbnb
is you could see
James' nose smudge.
Oh yeah.
Like when birds
hit your window.
A little bit of forehead.
Yeah.
Oh.
My partner was in trouble
with his mum
and had been told
you wait till your dad
gets home.
He heard his dad
coming home
and he panicked
and ran straight
through a closed ranch
like that.
Oh. Jeepers. Now dad's going to be really pissed. Yeah but you're not going to get in trouble time he heard his dad coming home and he panicked and ran straight through a closed ranch slider.
Jeepers. Now dad's going to be really pissed. Yeah, but you're not going to get in trouble for the
other thing. Oh, that's forgotten.
That's forgotten. You've smashed the ranch slider.
A very
drunk me was taken to a local
Caltex for an Irvine's
bacon and egg pie. That's what you need.
Bacon and egg pie.
Always a little bit dry for me a bacon and egg pie. Yeah, I don't do bacon and egg pies. I's what you need. It's a cleanser. Bacon and egg pie. Yum. Always a little bit dry
for me a bacon and egg pie.
Yeah, I don't do
bacon and egg pies
from bakeries.
I love like a homemade
bacon and egg pie.
Oh, it's going to be mums.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like in a bakery
sometimes I sit
and turn on the
Like a mints and cheese
can sit there for hours
and it's fine.
Dude, it's dig raving.
Yeah.
It's not going anywhere.
I was way too excited
about the food
and I went to run in
but the sliding glass door was
closed because it was after hours.
I smashed into it full speed,
ended up drunk, laid out on my ass flat on the
forecourt. I must ask
though, did you get the pie?
It sounded like you needed it.
It sounded like you really needed that pie.

Why do you look confused, Fawny?
I don't know what that is.
Because if you've got game, you play the game.
To test your game.

and flirt with them.
You use your voice.
You don't tippity-tippity-tip.
No, no, you use your voice, apparently.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Hey.
Hi, there.
Hello, sexy boy.
Hey.
Gosh, you've got a nice set of face on you.
And I'll submit it.

you're scored on a three-point scale using flame emojis
as to how good you are at flirting.
According to AI.

I was just wondering if I could give it a little kiss.
No.
Yeah, dude! Absolutely not.
What about you over there, Beanie Boy?

I don't know if I've expressed this enough.
I'm in an incredibly stressful period of my life.
Which I will say is entirely all self-inflicted.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel probably the most pressure I've ever felt in my career.
Well, this Friday, you're hosting the New Zealand Comedy Gala.
Yeah.
So I've just been touring around Australia for three weeks,
performing over there, my old show,
while writing a new show,
while getting ready to host the biggest gig of my life,
the Comedy Fest Gala.
Which, by the way, Vaughan's pulled out of date night.
Yeah, I know.
Unbelievable.
That's all right if you don't want to support me
as a genuine friend.
I like to keep you wanting.
It does actually. I like it keep you wanting. It does actually.
I like it.
Because I know that's you like, okay, they're all going to be there, but you're going to
look and they're going to be like, two empty seats.
What?
What do you mean two empty seats?
You're not coming, Fletch.
No, I'm coming.
Oh, good.
I was, it was me and a plus one.
I was only even coming by myself to be an empty seat anyway, so I could point to it
and be like like someone pulled out
they didn't want to see
it.
Yeah yeah yeah.
And you'd be in the
VIP section as well so
I'd really see it.
So yeah I'm hosting
the gala and then
next week I open my
brand new show that's
definitely completed and
ready for an audience
in Wednesday in
Wellington and then
the following week I'm
performing my solo show
at Sky City the biggest
venue I've ever done
solo.
So do you know what I
mean?
I've got a lot on my shoulders yeah at the moment um so I have been
emotionally vulnerable and I had an appointment to uh rip out my hair from my body you know usually
I'm a laser gal but it's been summer and I wanted sun so I was like I'm gonna get all this off
because you're not allowed laser you're not allowed sun if you've just been lasered.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I was like, nah, nah.
I want skin cancer instead.
So before I went to Aussie, I was like, I'm going to wax it all.
Literally from the eyebrows down.
Yeah, right.
Remove it all.
Okay.
So I arrived after a stressful phone call about some of my jobs.
And what it did, this phone call, is it made me cry.
And because of my tiredness and emotional vulnerability at the moment,
what happens is I couldn't stop.
And then the time had arrived for it to be my appointment.
And I couldn't just sit in the car.
Well, you can't cancel.
You're hard to get these appointments.
And I'm fluffy, you know?
So what I do is I just arrive in tears
to my wax appointment
and I just walk through the door and I'm like,
hey, I have a one o'clock
and I'm sorry I'm crying and I can't stop.
Oh no.
Do you wear sunglasses?
No, I just, no, I wasn't. And I turned up and she sunglasses? No. Oh okay. No.
I wasn't.
And I turned up and she was like, it's okay.
Come with me.
And so I went into the room and because I was getting everything done, she was like,
how do you want to do this?
Because I had armpits as well.
She was like, do you want to just take off the bottom half and then we can put it back
on?
I was like, no.
And just got off.
And I just got off all the clothes.
Oh no. So now I'm nude on the bed.
Still crying?
Still crying.
Naked with a stranger, crying.
Can't stop.
And this is the thing that I wanted to talk about.
It's not that I was naked and crying on a bed
and getting my pubes ripped out,
but that it was an incredible hour
that I spent with this woman
as she ripped out my hairs
from my intimate spots.
One hour.
Jesus, that's some Amazonian deforestation.
Well, it was just,
it was fluffy.
Any undiscovered tribes in there
that panicked?
Yeah.
Panicked because they saw white people
for the first time?
They'd never seen it before.
Yeah.
They started,
like, they had pitchforks.
They spared her. They spared mes they spared her they spared me
they spared her
I was like
you've been in there
that whole time
the hour
there was a busy hour
because there was
a protest
and then someone
changed themselves
to a tree
we put them back
understood
but it was
it was this
amazing transformative hour
not only physically
but mentally
because I sort of
offloaded on her
a little bit
and then she picked up the vibe
and offloaded on me and we just had this
wonderful sharing therapy session
as we were
doing the beauty stuff
and then I was like reminded
of this because as I left
I paid and I said
thank you so much for that, like I actually feel so much
better and I said and I'm
sorry for crying throughout the whole thing and there was another woman there she said honey you you're not
the first and you won't be the last people come here to cry so this other woman gets involved at
this stage yeah another woman's at the till oh yeah you know and she's been working on probably
some other poor crying woman right in the next room yeah and then when when she said that like
oh you're not the first and you won't be the last. I was like, oh, my God.
And then I just felt, I was like, I just loved women so much.
It was one of the most, like, wonderful environments.
We're like, women, like, we don't need you guys.
Men, we don't need you.
We can actually do everything ourselves.
Who's going to get the spider out of the corner of the shower?
Me.
Yeah, okay.
I'm going to take off the shower head.
It's already off, by the way.
And I'm going to spray the walls.
You're going to spray itsy bitsy. I grab him by the leg and I take him outside.
No, he's dead, bro.
Get out of my shower.
Anyway, I just, I mean, one, I want to apologise to that woman
because I was probably a bit full on.
But two, just like, thank you.
You can't go through your life apologising to everybody
that thinks you're a bit full on, Hayley.
You do not, simply don't have the time.
Okay, he keeps me humble and this is what we need.
He keeps me humble.
He's not coming to my gig and he reminds me I'm a bit much for some people.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
So Phoebe Gates, Bill Gates' youngest child.
Now, they're not giving their kids any money, are they?
Wasn't that their thing?
I think so, yeah.
Maybe they were not going to shower them in the billions.
Her boyfriend.
Imagine that your parents are billionaires and they're like,
no, you can get a job.
You'd be like, but ma'am.
But ma'am, I don't want to.
Yeah.
I want some new babies.
Ma'am, I lost my job. It went some new boobies. Me, my last mid-term. So Phoebe Gates goes out with her boyfriend,
is Arthur Donald, who is the grandson of Paul McCartney.
That's Nepo babies.
Arthur Donald.
That's a Nepo ship.
That's a Nepo ship.
That's a Nepo ship.
They've been dating for nearly two years
and apparently over her bureau, they say, so like a little desk
over the bureau. She's got a
bureau. I think she might be getting
a bit of money from daddy. Yeah I was going to say people
who are just finding their own way in life technically
don't have a bureau do they? Yeah we've got desks.
So over her bureau
is a painting of a pink cassette
tape that she bought for 20 bucks at a market.
Her boyfriend
hates it so much
that when he comes over to stay,
he takes it off the wall and tucks it away.
And then when he goes back to his own place,
she puts it back on.
Right.
He hates it.
He's just like, it's tattered.
It's her house.
Yeah, I know.
They're not living together, right?
No, they're not living together, no.
So he comes over, he's like,
ugh, tacky, takes it down.
That would be like somebody
taking down your Bob Marley flag
when they came over.
How dare they?
How dare?
I'm sorry that my Rastafarian preferences aren't your liking, but leave it up.
It doubles as a curtain.
Yeah.
Somebody doesn't like your live, laugh, love poster, Hayley.
Live, laugh, life, love.
Yeah.
Why don't they want to live, love, laugh?
Yeah, exactly.
And it's my house in here.
We live by the rule, live, love, laugh. Yeah, exactly. And it's my house. And here, we live by the rule, live, love, laugh.
Yeah.
We live.
We live it.
So this is what I wanted to know this morning is,
have you had a partner that didn't like something?
And what is the item?
Well, maybe there's your partner now, there's just an item.
He's just like, he or they or whatever, just like, I hate that.
I've got to, like, they hate to see it.
Now, Aaron, for a while,
it was Kweli,
my teddy bear
that I sleep with every day
since I was four years old.
Bold move.
Jealous, maybe.
Yeah, I think so.
Just another masculine
sort of energy in the household.
Big alpha energy
from Kweli.
I think he was just like,
oh,
it's in the bed all the time.
It's got Velcro.
He's got Velcro on his paws
and Aaron's always like,
it scratches me.
So I'll wake up and I'll be like, where's Kweli?
But I've just popped him out and I'm like, I'll pop you off the bed.
You touch that.
So he's come round to it now and he respects Kweli.
He respects Kweli.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that would probably be his one item.
What would his have been?
Oh, it wasn't.
Are we going to include fashion items?
Yeah, absolutely.
I think we can include any item.
Yeah.
Aaron had a pair of green shoes that when we were first going out,
I remember being like, yeah, they were like a green.
It's always wild when someone goes for like green or purple or orange shoes.
It was a green dress shoe.
Oh, a green dress.
I was imagining a green casual sneaker, maybe a chuck tailor.
A velvet or something. No, a green dress. I was imagining a green casual sneaker. Maybe a chuck tailor. A velvet or something. No, a green leather.
A green leather.
From a frog? Where do you get green
leather? Oh, it was painted, but
I think... It was painted.
Well, like coloured leather. Right.
They aren't pink cows, you know,
but there's pink leather. Right.
The toe was too round
and I remember every time I wore them I would be like, gotta push through leather. Right. But it had, the toe was too round and I remember every time I wore them,
I would be a bit like,
gotta push through this.
Okay.
0800 DALSATM.
We want you to call now,
text through 9696.
What item does your partner hate of yours?
Maybe you finally got them
to change it.
Yeah,
or do you hate an item
of your partner's?
I don't think that we could
accept the text that said,
I briefly dated a girl
with a live,
laugh,
love tattoo. Because you can't get that removed. You can't, that we could accept the text that said, I briefly dated a girl with a live, laugh, love tattoo.
Because you can't get that removed.
You can't, you know, easily remove it.
Yeah.
Get out the vivid and give it a...
Change it up.
Slivs, love, slav.
Yeah, something funny.
Add some letters, I don't know.
We're talking about the items that your partner hates
or that you hate of your partners because Phoebe Gates,
who is Bill Gates' daughter and her boyfriend,
who is bloody Paul...
McCartney's grandson.
He goes to her house
and removes the painting above her desk
because he doesn't like it.
Because it's a $20 tacky poster.
We've had a message from our friend Dr. Shawnee
who's working today,
one of his work days,
and he said his husband... Today and tomorrow.
He said his husband has
a poo emoji pillow, Jared,
and he hates it.
Because apparently every night he'll sleep
with the poo. I'll take Jared
and the poo emoji pillow.
Are you kidding me? I could do no wrong.
And he hates it.
Because during the middle of the night, the poo emoji
pillow floats around.
It's pretty funny for a grown man to have a poo emoji post.
It's pretty funny.
Yeah, it's a bit of a laugh.
It's pretty funny.
Okay, great.
Okay.
So, message is in.
When my husband and I started dating eight years ago, he wore fat tongue skate shoes.
Now, I was like, that, but eight years ago.
But then I was like, oh, no, no, no, no.
Eight years ago was 2017.
Yeah, and they're coming back now.
Eighteen years ago.
Yeah, people are wearing them now.
Fat tongue is such a... Yeah, it took about two months
until they were accidentally left behind somewhere.
We must have lost them.
Oh, God.
Yeah, okay.
My husband has a Boba Fett T-shirt
with a backpack built in
and you can zip it up all the way over the head
and it's like Boba Fett's helmet.
And I simply must know where he got it,
how much it costs.
It doesn't come in my size
because I want it badly
listen to this
my husband's really
into Star Wars
I also enjoy Star Wars
I'm not a hater
okay Vaughn
we have lightsabers
hung in our lounge
artwork on our walls
but what has
absolutely sent me
was the BB-8
BB-8
BB-8 shaped coasters
I just cannot get past them
I'm stoked
that they got a little bit damaged recently.
So BB-8's the droid in the sequels that was the big one.
With the little thing on top and he rolled around and he was real cute.
And so he would be perfect for a coaster.
Spock, live long and prosper.
No.
That's not funny.
That's not funny.
Love Star Trek.
My husband has a brown zip-up jacket,
like a hoodie, but no hood.
I called it his gardening cardigan.
It's awful.
I threw it out a few years back.
I don't think he's noticed.
My best mate also had a disgusting purple fleece.
I set that in fire on the garden and made her video it.
Oh, gosh.
Sheila's just out there ruining people's clothing
that she doesn't like.
My partner is an avid hunter
and I have to look at a taxidermied chamois
sitting on the wall.
I've got a chamois.
It's like a deer goat creature.
But it's also,
its skin is a chamois cloth.
That's why, you know chamois cloths
that you wipe your car with
and you wring them out and they dry real quick?
Yeah.
You're like a chamois cloth.
The original chamois cloth.
The skin of the chamois. I love this text. When my fiance and I moved in together, Shammy cloths that you wipe your car with and you wring them out and they dry real quick? Yeah. You're like a shammy cloth. The original shammy cloth. Yeah.
The skin of the shammy.
I love this text.
When my fiance and I moved in together, we blended households.
We had a bunch of forks that were so ridiculously small.
I hate them so much.
Every time I get one out of the drawer, I say, I effing hate that fork.
And he says, why don't you chuck it out?
But I don't want to be wasteful.
Well, just go buy a new fork set.
Like, wait till there's a sale.
No, they've got perfectly good forks. They're just small buy a new fork set. Like, wait till there's a sale. No, they've got perfectly
good forks. They're just small.
His camo Crocs. We wore them on
our first date four years ago and ate sushi
with a fork. Oh, no. How did he
survive that date? He wore the Crocs
everywhere. He's a bit quirky, but we
just got approved for our first mortgage,
so I guess something's worked. We ate sushi with a fork.
Sushi with a fork and camo Crocs.
Four years later, you're still with the dude.
And he's like, great news.
This is how he talks.
Great news.
Great news.
I'm about to prove for a mortgage.
I mean, it's fine if you don't know how to use chopsticks.
I understand.
There's some people that don't.
But just use your hands.
I ain't eating things with my fingers.
Can I get a fork for this sushi?
And then he goes to catch up with his maid,
who's got a series of very small forks. He's like, what are you talking about? The perfect fork for this sushi? And then he goes to catch up with his maid who's got a series of very small forks.
He's like, what are you talking about?
The perfect fork for sushi.
They're using dessert forks.
It sounds like they're using cake forks.
I love eating cake with a cake fork
because if I eat cake with a big fork,
I finish the cake in three bites.
But if I had a small fork, I'm just like,
yes, it lasts longer.
You nibble. It lasts
longer. What else have we got here? I have
my partner's mug. It's this god awful
brown thing that he found at the Salvation Army. I've hit
it so many times and it always just comes back. It's hard
to clean and it's so ugly. You know what you should do?
Accidentally falls
off the bench. Oh no. But
knowing it would hit the ground, chip whatever
you've got for flooring and the cup would survive.
It's so old it would probably go through the floor.
My husband had a ripped Dragon Ball Z poster that he insisted on putting up on the wall when he moved in.
Absolutely not.
I upgraded him to a framed Dragon Ball Z image that I found in an op shop.
Oh, yuck.
What we've got there is a perfect woman.
She's like, I don't begrudge you for enjoying Dragon Ball Z.
It's the ripped, get one framed, la-di-da-di-da looks great.
That kind of stuff goes in a man cave,
not in the house.
Put it in the garage.
Yeah, yuck.
Does his man bun count
as something?
Because I just can't
even look at it anymore.
Wait, is somebody
doing a man bun still?
We're not man bunning
anymore, team.
My husband has this
horrendous old leather
lazy boy that I
freaking hate.
We have a brand new
home, he's insisted
that this piece of
crap had to come in,
it ruins the whole
aesthetic of the house.
Vomit, vomit, vomit.
We'll get him a new one.
Could that be recovered?
Yeah, it could be recovered.
Those big puffy things.
It's not the vibes.
It's not comfy though.
They rule.
No, I know they're comfy.
They absolutely rule.
My parents have got big puffy and you just recline and you're like,
this is how TV is meant to be enjoyed.
It's living.
I know.
Tight, low-cut, red, sparkling T-shirt on my 6'7 man.
Not a gay man either.
What?
Tight, sparkling T-shirt.
Wait, does he get hit on by other guys in public?
Well, no, because it had to go with immediate effect.
And since then, we've been married for 14 years
and it's still talked about, the T-shirt.
Was that kind of like Venga Boys era?
Sounds like Venga Boys kind of era. like Vengaboys kind of era.
It feels like a Vengaboy era.
Like late 90s.
Yeah.
When we first got together,
he had a life-size Walking Dead poster on the wall
glaring down at the bed.
Didn't like that.
Didn't like the life-size-ness of it.
Yeah.
My ex didn't like a pair of shoes I wore all the time.
He tried to donate them to the op shop,
so in turn I donated him back to the streets.
Bye.
My husband has the ugliest stuffed cane toe that holds a mini bottle of Jack Daniels.
I've got a stuffed cane toe.
Does it hold a mini bottle of Jack Daniels?
No, he's got a backpack and a stick. He's wandering.
Well then I've got better news for you because you can get one
that holds a bottle of mini Jack Daniels.
Is that your true love? Wait, are we meant to be
together? It must sit on our dressing
table so when I wake up it's one of the first things
I see in the morning. A bottle of Jack
Daniels first thing in the morning.
My husband, oh my
partner has a photo that's quite a
large photo and it's her as a baby
looking real posy and dumb and
it's on the wall in our house.
Your own baby photos
is insane to have on the wall. That's really bizarre. You put your photos of your babies up on the wall in our house. Oh, no. Your own baby photos is insane to have on the wall.
That's really bizarre.
You put your photos of your babies up on your wall.
You don't put a photo of yourself as a baby up on the wall.
Oh, this is smart.
Partner had a T-shirt I hated.
He put it in the wash, and it just never came out.
Just put it in the bin.
I don't know where it's gone.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, the mug.
Did you mention that?
Funny you say that. I did drop it, and it effing survived. Oh, my God. The mug. Did you mention that? Funny you say that.
I did drop it and it effing survived.
Yeah, I told you it would break whatever it hit.
Okay, I think we need to talk about one day on the show,
we need to talk about eating sushi in unconventional manners
because so many messages are coming in saying,
go, pro sushi with a fork.
Sushi with hands is yuck.
You can't get rid of the smell of the fish
or the soy sauce off your fingers.
That's what the seaweed is for.
It's a berry.
It's like the Marine's glad wrap.
Yeah, it is.
It's Marine God's glad wrap.
God's glad seaweed.
Wait, so, okay.
I've never eaten it with a fork.
I would be so embarrassed to be with someone eating sushi with a fork.
You don't have to eat it with chopsticks.
Pick it up.
Somebody else said they were at sushi on a date once. I don't know if i'd go for sushi on a first date a lunch date or dinner because people that
do sushi for dinner uh get out of here it's not right it's a lunch for a hard two o'clock kind
of i'll do japanese we could do japanese for dinner yeah well it's a more it's a hot teriyaki
dish it's a it's a domburi yeah yeah you Or maybe even a Japanese soup. Or some tempura and some gyoza.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme. And I'll forgive a tiny
bit of sushi in a
tempura hot tub. But it's a bigger thing.
Imagine if you ate a tray of sushi for
dinner.
No, but people do. Where's the rest of my
food? What?
People do though.
People do sushi for dinner. It's wild.
That is a lunch
And sometimes for us
A breakfast dish
Yeah
So someone went on
A first date to sushi
And they said the person
Ate straight off the plate
No hands
Just kind of
Tongued the sushi
Into their mouth
You are not getting round two bro
Somebody else said
I was the first sushi text
Where I ordered the sushi
And he ate with a fork
It was an Asian restaurant With stir fries Absolutely no one Was ordering sushi Somebody else said, I was the first sushi text where I ordered sushi and he ate with a fork.
It was an Asian restaurant with stir fries.
Absolutely no one was ordering sushi.
It was dinner and he went and ordered a pint load of sushi.
Yeah.
People don't.
What's going on?
You're about to buy a house with this monster.
Oh, God.
Play ZM's Flesh One and Hayley.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
It's Popes all week, baby.
It's Popes here. It's Popes.
Because at the moment it's Pope Factor.
Yeah, it is. They're picking the next Pope. It's Pope's hair. Because at the moment it's Pope factor. Yeah, it is.
And they're picking the next Pope.
Pope Idol.
Pope Idol.
Hit their buttons.
And the first round's always funny.
It's good watching because there's some embarrassing people trying to be Pope.
There's some embarrassing Popes.
You're like, you're never going to be Pope.
Bishop's got talent.
Yesterday we talked about the magic Pope who wasn't magic.
He was just really good at maths and science and people were a bit dumb.
And so he's like, oh, you're all
a pack of dummies. And I'm just smart
and everyone's like, no, no, he's made a deal with demons
and stuff. Well, today I want to talk about the worst
Pope. This guy has agreed to be
the worst Pope of all time.
Pope Benedict IX.
He is,
he was born around
1012, a long time ago,
over a thousand years ago,
into a very powerful family, the Tuscalanis.
Sounds mafia-like, doesn't it?
It does.
A bit of mafia there.
You don't mess with the Tuscalanis.
Are you coming for the Tuscalanis?
So he was Theothychalist.
That was his name.
But anyway, he became Pope and he was Pope Benedict IX.
Cumberbatch.
Yeah, Pope Benedict Cumberbatch.
Guess how old he was when he became Pope?
Six.
Ten.
15.
So between 17 and 23.
Whoa.
Some people think as young as 12,
but the generally agreed upon age is about 20.
Right.
What can you do then?
You're just going out for the first time, you know?
You're Pope, you're not even legally allowed in the bar.
Nah, lame.
Can't dish out the red wine.
His family apparently bought the papacy through him.
Massive bribery, political muscle and stuff.
He's a Nepo Pope.
He's a Nepo Pope.
Nepo Pope.
So we had Magic Pope yesterday and Nepo Pope today.
So his reign was so scandalous that even cataholics,
these are the people who love cats and the Virgin Mary,
they normally try to paint things in a good light about this.
But they're like, no, he was a disgrace to the chair of Peter.
Accusations levied against him include murder,
moidaida simony
which is selling church
offices to cash
but now you want to be a bishop
yeah I'd love to be a bishop
grease some palms
pay up
alright a bit of
corruption
he treated the
papacy like a
party lifestyle
he threw orgies
at the Luteran palace
okay
now I'm listening
yeah I'm back
we're on board
tap it up
tap it up
tap it up, Sammy. Up.
Pop-a-doodle-doop-dine.
Tap it up.
He also, he was described by contemporary sources as a demon from hell in the disguise of a priest.
They revolted against him
because they were fed up with his behaviour.
He fled Rome.
He came back with armed forces to claim his position.
And then in 1045,
he sold the Pope's role to his grandfather giovanni
who became pope gregory yeah and his grandfather gave him a whole lot of money and he was like cool
i want to get married uh and obviously i can't get married if i'm the pope by the way i'm marrying my
cousin i need the money um it was a quote by the way i'm marrying my cousin by the way i'm marrying
my cousin uh and he was the only pope to ever sell it and not make a secret of it. After
selling it, he changed his mind and he was like,
hmm, hey, grandpops, I'm going to need
that back. Because I quite
liked it. So there was this massive mess
where there were three rival Popes at once.
Benedict, who's like, I might have sold
it, but, you know, technically I'm still the
Pope. His godfather
who bought it, who was like, well, technically
I'm the Pope, and
Sylvester III, remember we talked about
Sylvester II yesterday, Sylvester III
who was just like, you know, while this has all been going
crazy, I've kind of done some paperwork and I'm kind of
Pope too. Gosh!
So, then
they all got kicked out,
they all got
this, what do they call it, excommunicated?
Yeah. from the church
and they put a new Pope in, Pope Clement II.
And he was just like, all of this drama always never ending.
It's never ending.
You know, I've seen this in these Ralph Fiennes Pope movies.
Oh, Conclave, great film.
Is this a film everybody's watching?
Yeah.
Because it's just on streaming now.
Is it on streaming?
I don't know.
I was flying home yesterday
and it was on the Air New Zealand flights
and so many people were watching it.
You're welcome.
Premium economy.
I gave her an upgrade.
Unbelievable.
I didn't think I was going to have that.
I know.
I've had two in the short three years
we've known each other.
You've had two upgrades?
Yeah.
Not me.
I think it's only fair
she buys me breakfast
yeah I think that's fair
that's probably fair
that's fair
because you've got to get
a lovely
lovely food
in premium economy
someone should buy me breakfast
because I have never
got any upgrades
and I've been a jade level
in the zone
number three
and someone should buy me breakfast
because I'm so run down
you're humble
you're a man of the people
you're a man of the people
I'm in a really busy moment
of stress in my life,
so you guys should buy me breakfast.
So why don't we all just buy our own breakfast?
If we were to compare ourselves to popes,
I'm the pope that just passed.
Very man of the people.
Have you seen his humble lifestyle?
His humble grave and everything?
Very humble.
And he was okay with the game.
I think the pope would have been Airpoint's Jade.
He would have been.
He would have been.
He would have been.
But he flew business.
He flew business.
He flew business. He didn business. He flew business.
But the Pope played sort of...
Didn't want the status points.
Yeah, he didn't do status points.
Whereas your Pope Benedict IX, very naughty.
Is that the one?
That was the one we just talked about.
Yeah, good.
Am I the female Pope?
We'll talk about you tomorrow on Fact of the Day.
Oh!
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
Vaughan, that's insane.
There's been no female Pope.
Hasn't there been?
Stay tuned
Tomorrow's back in the day
Wow

How do they work around this?

Yeah
That'll be it
You bloody wait and see

So today's fact of the day
In Pope week
Is Pope Benedict the 9th
Has agreed across the board
To have been the worst Pope in history
And was an air points jade.
Oh, no, he was gold.
He was gold elite.
Okay, right.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
So, okay, I've been in Australia for the last three weeks.
I'm back.
Do I have a slight accent?
I was just about to say, you have come back with an accent.
I could feel it, yeah.
Yeah.
The one thing I said a lot was, no, no, no.
Anyway, so in my little apartment, there was, you know,
like I'm in a big apartment building, like service departments, as we mentioned.
Yeah, it's not a hotel.
It's not a hotel.
They might give you towels and new toilet paper, but they might not.
Yeah, and they won't clean anything.
They'll sometimes just put the towels on a desk and then leave.
And there's not a dedicated reception
desk. There was in this one.
It may or may not be manned.
It may or may not be. You could just be in there on your
own. So I
once sat down
to watch TV and I was like, oh my god
I've got a bit of time. I'm going to watch some TV.
Daytime television, you know, just
free to air.
Again, when you're working on your new comedy show
that you haven't finished?
It's finished.
Is it?
Nope.
So I sit down to watch TV and then suddenly
the TV becomes possessed and it starts like flickering
and changing all these screens and stuff.
And I was like, have I sat my fat ass down on the remote?
You know, that was what I thought.
Yep.
But then I realised that screen mirroring
has been turned on.
What? Oh my!
And I was not mirroring my phone
so someone
was screen mirroring to room
1003 or whatever
it was, was screen
mirroring and suddenly I could see
everything they were doing.
But wait, don't you, had you accidentally accepted it?
No.
Because don't you have to put in a PIN number for most of them?
This was like one of the most basic TVs.
It was like cheap.
It wasn't super like, yeah, enter the thing.
Sometimes all it says on the computer is,
does this match the number?
And you go, yes.
Oh, right.
I know, because I didn't do anything.
Yeah.
Suddenly I see
it's an iPhone screen
because it's like
you know
in portrait mode
and I see someone
and it says
on it
like the bottom of the screen
it's like
Lachlan's iPhone
Lachy
Lachlan
what are you doing
screen mirroring to my
we dealt with a Lachlan
yesterday on the show
didn't we
cheating Lachlan
a shit bag name
and now we've got
Lachy the screen sharer Lachy the cheater Lachy the screen sharer a Lachlan yesterday on the show, didn't we? Cheating Lachlan. A shitbag name. Oh, really?
And now we've got Lachy the screen sharer.
Lachy the cheater, Lachy the screen sharer.
What does tomorrow hold for us in the world of Lachlans?
Who knows?
So I think it's clear from what I was seeing that Lachlan was not aware he was screen sharing with me.
Oh, okay.
Because it was like you could see him trying like change things on the app, like trying to
open his apps and figure it all out
and go to settings and go to screen mirroring
and all this stuff. And I was like, dude, I'm seeing it all.
Then he goes to that thing, you know, like
if you've got to open up your apps to close
them all. Yeah. And he starts
going through them, like sliding like this.
And I'm like, Lachlan, I can see he's been shopping.
He's been doing,
his calculator was open. His, not his banking, thank God, but I'm about to see howlan, I can see he's been shopping. He's been doing, his calculator was open.
Not his banking, thank God,
but I'm about to see how much money he bloody had.
And then up comes the bloody web browser.
And I was like, this is closer.
Here we go.
This is the only.
Incognito tab.
This is what you do in a hotel.
Yeah.
It's the only thing to do.
Is this why he's strewn to the TV?
He's like, I'm'm gonna live life a little
I'm not looking at this
24 and a half
5 inch screen
he's like finally
I'm not at home
I can have a big screen
yeah
for my pleasure
we joke
yeah dude
are you kidding me
what was he
I was like
Lachlan
I was like yelling out
and I saw it
and it was like
he was like
in the middle of
a search
which can you turn off the mics and I'll tell it and it was like, he was in the middle of a search,
which, can you turn off the mics and I'll tell you what it was.
Okay, yeah.
Like classic.
Classic.
It's a go-to.
I don't know a lot about Lachlan from just that search.
I'm thinking early 20s white guy.
I mean, the name Lachlan's white guy name.
I know.
Early 20s.
Wait, so how long did you
watch this for? Oh
it was like maybe
three minutes or so
that until it went
off again like he'd. He'd obviously figured
out. Turned off screen mirroring and trying to do it again
or something. He was probably trying to get the sound working.
I know but he did he like clicked on this
R18
content. Have you ever, let's speak hypothetically.
Yeah.
Have you ever screen mirrored to a TV in a hotel?
Oh no, not my personal watching.
And had your headphones connected to your phone,
but when it screen mirrors,
it also changes the sharing to the TV speakers.
You got the headphones on,
you're like, I can hear it, but it's quite quiet.
And so you crank it up.
Hypothetically...
It's a little bit louder,
but it's coming through the speakers on the TV.
Hypothetically, that would be very embarrassing for you.
Hypothetically, I'm mentioning it,
and you guys were in the rooms around hypothetically,
so you never said anything at the time,
so I assume I got away with it.
It would certainly be less embarrassing
than if you had connected to the Bluetooth speaker
in the lounge in the flat.
Yeah.
Because you hear that happens all the time.
Oh, yeah.
All the time.
Anyway, good on you, Locklock.
I mean, I'm not here to judge you, do you,
in your own personal space,
but I saw it all.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.
Netflix have announced a little tweak.
Yeah, I'm a captions guy.
I turn it on for everything.
Oh, yuck.
I turn on, some people call it subtitles,
some people call it closed captions,
and I've Googled what the difference is.
Yeah.
Because sometimes it will say English subtitles,
and then it'll say English CC.
So captions identify the speaker,
include non-speech audio such as musical sound effects.
I will say water splashing. Oh, like water splashing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Helpful for viewers who are hard of hearing or hearing impaired.
Right.
Subtitles as dialogue translated into another language.
A lot of the time it doesn't include music or sound effect cues.
Which I like because otherwise I don't need to know that water's splashing.
I can hear it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whereas I can see why they do that for people that have no hearing.
So what have Netflix said?
I always watch it with subtitles.
Okay.
I always watch everything with subtitles.
This triggers me, but we'll discuss that.
I love it.
He's come up with a ranking of his own.
Because then you don't have to say, what'd they say?
Because you can just read it.
But Netflix have said.
Netflix have said they've made some subtle changes.
He's only been in broadcasting for...
I was explaining the difference and I think a lot of people
know the difference.
He still hasn't said it.
This is the thing.
We're about nine minutes into this break.
He still hasn't even said it.
Netflix have now said they've got a new subtitle option,
which is just subtitles without all the audio cues.
So just the words being said.
Yeah, whereas previously, by default, their English subtitles were closed captions because they included all of the audio cues. So just the words being said. Yeah, whereas previously, by default,
their English subtitles were closed captions
because they included all of the other things.
Now, Gen Z, famous for watching TV shows with captions
because they're dumb or something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Why do you watch shows with captions?
Just for extra clarity.
Oh, no way.
It triggers me so much.
Just listen. Just listen and watch
it. Take it in. I am listening and watching.
I'm listening and watching and reading.
That's too much for the brain.
Georgia, what about you? Absolutely
put the dub on.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry, but if you're watching a foreign show
and dub, you're just a lower class citizen.
No, because guys, are. You are.
Guys, Money Heist, right?
Full of action.
Did you watch Squid Game in dub?
Oh, I couldn't get into Squid Game.
Oh, my God.
It's one of the best shows ever.
See, Squid Game, I started in dub,
and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, I made the mistake.
Subtitle.
Yeah, because I did too.
Oh, my God.

whatever that show was like.
Physical 100.
Physical 100.
Dubbed as funny.
No!
Oh, my God.
Look at me lift these weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was terrible.
It was the same as Squid Game. The dub over was
terrible. Yeah, but guys like Cable Girls.
What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Money Heist. There's too much action
to also read. Money Heist
was in Spanish and Italian, the term
is beautiful. Obviously beautiful,
but I don't know it
and I don't want to read while I'm watching the show, do I?
This is crazy to me.
I'm going to straight up kung fu kick you in the face.
Wow.
I just know.
No, it triggers me so much.
You're about to get, hey Georgia,
you're about to get kung fu.
Why don't you receive my kung fu kick to your face?
But the Korean version of this sentence was a little bit longer than the English one,
so I've got to fill it with something on the end.
Ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
No, it's subtitles for foreign films and TV only.
Yep.
And then just listen.
Yeah, take it in, watch it.
Turn it up.
Yeah.
Okay, so how are you taking in whilst also listening to spanish theme guys this
