Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

Yay! Oh, thank you. What are you doing up for? You're just saying hi. Yeah, happy anniversary. Thanks, Hayley. What are you doing up at the summer? Wow.

Starting point is 00:02:58 I love that Hayley's trying to make this about herself and now another Hayley's called up to get the limelight. Yeah, sort of like, I'm already trying to put my Hayley to the side. Yeah. Pete, Pete, we've got keys. All 21 keys are on the board. Which number do you want, Hayley?
Starting point is 00:03:13 Oh, lucky 13, please. Oh, lucky 13. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. That one. Yep. Okay, what have we got there? Let me have a little looky-poo. Number 13,
Starting point is 00:03:25 Hayley. Oh, you've got an OPI treat gift set. Nail polish. Oh, look how pretty. Cute, cute, cute. Thanks to the show sponsor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Guinness Warehouse. And of course every gift has something to do with us and of course
Starting point is 00:03:42 we love nail polish. It wasn't just the fact that it certainly wasn't the fact that the show sponsor was just like here's 21 things. Here's some things. Thanks for calling up Willy Nilly, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Congratulations, Hayley. Have a great day. Hello to the toddler. I believe the top six today has been written by the producers about us. Yeah, I haven't even seen it. Exciting. You don't have anything to do with this?
Starting point is 00:04:04 I don't have anything to do with it. I don't have anything to do with it. That's all on the girlies. Okay. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. All right, well, we are going to tell you now about a man, and he's made an app, and it's to find the best pies. This sucks, the way you're telling this story. I know.
Starting point is 00:04:22 It's because it's the reason I said shush, because Vaughn was having a gas bag and a gossip. I was having a little gossip. And I couldn't turn the microphones on. I was having a hussy little goss. I would have revealed some serious gossip. Serious? We would have been in trouble gossip.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Well, this man has made an app called Mean Pies, and mean as in like mean, bro. And you can rate and upload photos of pies. Yeah. And the more people that use it, obviously it's user generated. This is good. This is good.
Starting point is 00:04:51 The more people that use it, the better it's going to work. I have a wine one, Vivino. And when you do that, you upload your bottles of wine and say, this is a nice 3.6. This is a map one. So if you're in a town that you're not familiar with,
Starting point is 00:05:06 like you're on a road trip, you're like, we're coming up to Ohakune, for example. Gorgeous pronunciation. Thanks, I really tried. And you would say, what have we got pie-wise? And other people who have been through would have rated pies. And you know all the truckies and the tradies will be all over this. I'm downloading. I love this idea. Oh, my God, this app looks amazing. And you know all the truckies and the tradies will be all over this. Yeah. I'm downloading.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I love this idea. Oh my God, this app looks amazing. And photos. Every year they have the pie awards. Correct. Did you come? Yeah. Yeah, we went to the pie awards one.
Starting point is 00:05:34 We went to the pie awards. Man, there's some insane pies around the country. And the competition. Like, there's like characters. And everyone knows this person. And da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, she's all go. Well, I mean, this pie app could probably play into the pie awards, really.
Starting point is 00:05:48 They could go through and see the highest rated user. Because that's, you know, like critics at the pie awards are judged by a panel of professionals. Or like proper chefs. And it's like when you go to Rotten Tomatoes to see a better movie, the critics might be like, oh, we didn't like it. But then the audience are like, you know what? That was great. I liked it for what it was.
Starting point is 00:06:03 That sort of thing. Wow. So I've got the app. I'm downloaded. So what you're saying is a basic action movie is the basic mince pie of a town. Correct. Yeah. It's how you judge a movie studio and a bakery.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Right. The basic. If you can't do a mince and cheese, is it fair to say if you can't do a mince and cheese right, you should stop all the other pies to concentrate. You've got to do mince and cheese. You've got to do your staples well. So look at this. Here's people who've uploaded pies.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I like that people are giving the cross section of the pie. Yeah, we've got Hello Pickle Northland, pizza pie, steak cheddar and jalapeno. Yum. The 10 out of 10 they gave it. Wow. Pie flavour hit me from inside the warmer love at first sight.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Great. We've got some pie poets. Some pie poets. Writing a bit of pie, prose and poetry. Hopefully if this app takes off, they can then have some side, like it could just become an all-out bakery app. Because I'd love to know the best Lamingtons. No, I think you've got to start the Lamington app.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I figured that would be quite niche. I just love the way that people are really investing in it, you know, like putting time in. Here's one from Loafers Bakery in Nelson. They had the steak and cheese pie. I've got a great photo there. Oh, they do a good Belgium slice from my time in Nelson. Yeah, 8.5 out of 10, which is a rating of mean.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Very nice pie. Really good flavour, mince and cheese. Tasted similar flavour. Both are great. Pastry is on the softer side, though, so it might break, but Yep. Very nice pie. Really good flavour, mince and cheese. Tasted similar flavour. Both are great. Pastry is on the softer side though, so it might break, but it's an awesome pie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I don't mind a soft pastry. I don't mind a flaky one. Sometimes, oh, now I'm a big, I'm a crusty, flaky pastry guy. You're a big yellow pastry guy.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah, you are.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. I love Dochi. I saw she just won a billboard something rather woman of the year something. Did you see her at Paris Fashion Week?
Starting point is 00:08:00 No. Oh, my God. You've got to look up her. She wore, it was like, Flying Gaudier and Kimberford. She wore a different outfit every day. Right. Oh my God, she's talented.
Starting point is 00:08:13 She's gorgeous. I know. The fashion, everything. Absolutely gorgeous. And the fashion, everything was just, she's so cool. Billboard Woman of the Year is what she just won. And she, great speech. She won a Grammy. And this song's popping off, she's launched her

Starting point is 00:10:39 Okay, the word for plus... You just... It would be like asking her to do the porphyry just because she's Maori. What do you mean, do the porphyry. Just because she's Maori. What do you mean, do the porphyry? Well, you know how... It's a huge process. There's so many steps.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I know, but you know how white people just go to the brown person in the office and they're like, can you do the porphyry? Don't do the porphyry. You're always asking us to do the Macarena. No, I am actually. She's always forcing the Macarena on us. Okay, so tahi, rua, toru, fa,

Starting point is 00:13:42 Congratulations, Nicole. Some feedback for the silly little poll. About how many times you sneeze. I've got Congratulations, Nicole. Some feedback for the silly little poll. How many times do you sneeze? I've got a question for the people that said four plus. Are you dying? Grow up. That's from Alex. Dad, me and my brother can't sneeze without doing at least ten.
Starting point is 00:13:56 This is from Sasha. And mum just loses her shit at us every time. Sometimes in the office they make a game and guess how many times I'm going to sneeze during one of my sneezing fits. It's wild and it's inappropriate. Zara said one. Imagine going to HR because my workmates are teasing me because I sneeze 10 times. They're gambling on my sneezes again. I like, I sneeze once, said Zara, like a goddamn normal person. My husband and both his sisters sneeze in threes and my kids sneeze in twos, so they kind of met in the middle. Okay. One
Starting point is 00:14:21 big loud one, said Kate, just to make sure everybody knows I'm sneezing. Ah. Just the way I roll, four is a little excessive and attention-seeking and two isn't satisfying enough, so I'll hit a hard three every time, says Kate. Yeah. Three.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Jessie, it's always twice and it's always first thing in the morning after taking my first mouthful of breakfast or after a mint. I'm trying to get a sneeze going, so I fancy one now. How do you have, like, eggs on toast or some cereal, and then you fancy a sneeze?
Starting point is 00:14:46 I've made a mouthful of scrambled egg in a sneeze. Maybe it's a bit of peeper. It's going to come out your nose. I'm not an attention seeker. Why would anyone sneeze more than twice, said Becky. Wow. I don't think it's on purpose. Mel said I sneezed thrice, and then always involuntarily go,
Starting point is 00:15:04 mew. Also, congratulations for using the word thrice. Thrice. That really tickled me. Thrice is a favourite word of mine. Vanessa said my bestie always sneezes in sevens. If I'm with her, I always count them out for her. That's true friendship.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Sevens. That's a lot. She says a real brain rattler. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. TikTok could be banned again. From tomorrow in the US. But it was never banned. How of a week for the US?
Starting point is 00:15:30 Here, was it? Nah, we were fine. We were fine. But everyone did their big goodbyes last time. It was great watching everybody meltdown. Yeah. And say their goodbyes and then like a couple of hours later. A couple of hours were bad.
Starting point is 00:15:41 But what was the story? If you had it and you could go on a VPN and pretend you were overseas, you could still do it? But I mean, that was for the content creators but people watching might do that. But basically 50% of people did it it's 50% of people gone, right? Gone, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:57 And most people don't even know what a VPN is. So for most of America it was gone. It was gone from the App Store the Google Store. But yeah, apparently Amazon of America, it was gone. It was gone from the App Store, the Google Store. Yeah. But yeah, apparently Amazon has made a last bid, ditch bid to last ditch effort, a last ditch attempt. I'd say last minute bid.
Starting point is 00:16:15 A last minute bid. Or a last ditch attempt. To buy TikTok. No, I wouldn't use attempt in that. Wouldn't you? Not last ditch effort. I would say last ditch attempt. They've made a last ditch effort. I would say last ditch attempt. They've made a last ditch
Starting point is 00:16:25 effort attempt. Right, that's it. Last ditch effort is the... And that's about the military, eh? Wasn't it trying to get to the next ditch? The next ditch, yeah. The last line of defence.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Now, which one are we talking about? Are we going to talk about TikTok or the sentence last ditch attempt? I think we should move to World War II trench warfare. Yeah, I think so too, actually. It's well, well before that. It'd be well before that, wouldn't it? World War I was the last great trench warfare. Yeah. But there were trenches in World War II. There was, but World War II trench warfare. Yeah, I think so too, actually. It's well, well before that. It'd be well before that, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:16:45 World War I was the last great trench warfare. Yeah. But there were trenches in World War II. There was, but World War II had advanced in technology so much that the tanks' length and balance would mean they could drive straight over them. Oh, okay. Whereas tanks and that didn't have that dexterity or power
Starting point is 00:16:58 in World War I. I know it's your day. Trench warfare. I know it's your special day. I know it's your 21st anniversary, but we're still going to make the show sort of entertaining. And then I would say, if we're looking at the Vietnam conflict,
Starting point is 00:17:08 I'd say less trench, more foxhole. Keep it light, keep it entertaining. We laugh out louder. We talk about more relevant content for the listener. I could pull it to local because trench warfare was massive for Māori Defence of Pā. Māori Land Wars, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Huge, and even into tribe wars prior to that. It was all about the trench. Thank you for touching on trench warfare, Vaughan. Thankori land wars. Yeah, huge and even inter-tribe wars prior to that. It was all about the trench. Thank you for touching on trench warfare, Vaughan. Thank you so much. And just bring it back to TikTok. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 00:17:31 But yeah, apparently no word if that's actually happening. No word what the White House are going to do about it. But yeah, they're trying to force China to sell it. So they're selling that.
Starting point is 00:17:42 They've also put the tariffs on Canada and Mexico. We're getting a tariff. Everybody's getting a tariff. They said, we're only putting a tariff on New Zealand because they've got a 20% tariff on us. And all of our people are like, actually, that's not even remotely true. But then Donald Trump was on to the next stream of bullshit so quick.
Starting point is 00:17:58 We didn't have time to really solve that. That's the Donald Trump way. So I don't know what's going to happen. But I mean, go outside. If TikTok gets me, go outside, maybe. Brace yourself for Americans maybe melting down. So, apparently, whoever's
Starting point is 00:18:12 selling it, they're not taking Amazon's bids seriously. What about Mr. Beast? Didn't he, like... He was trying to get together a bunch of billionaires, right? Yeah, that's right. Which would be great. Yeah, totally. Oh, well. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Oh, reversal in the top six, because usually the producer girlies will take the opportunity to maybe pop over and get us a coffee. I've just run over to get us a coffee, and they've written the top six. This is great. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I think we call this outsourcing. Fantastic. I could look at this outsourcing. Fantastic. I'm a huge fan. You know some of these call centres. No, no, no. We're saving our jobs from AI. Thank you. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Now, today's top six. What is it? Top six things we like about working with Fletch and Vaughan. And instantly Hayley feels left out. No, my day will come. What did your daughter say? Oh, she was really concerned that it was too much about us and Hayley would feel not included.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Which daughter said this? Indy. Oh, not August. She didn't give a shit. No, that's right. But August would be more me in terms of... August would be like, I do feel significantly left out. In fact, I'm surprised she wasn't like, what about me?
Starting point is 00:19:20 Yeah. What about me? That's right, that's right. No, no, no. I will say I feel like you kind of fit into some of these as well. Okay. Okay. It's not about me. This is What about my? That's right. That's right. No, no, no. I will say I feel like you kind of fit into some of these as well. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Okay. This is the top six things you like about working with us. Yeah. Okay. So number six on the top six things that we
Starting point is 00:19:34 like about working for Fletch and Vaughan. Four. Yep. She said not with. You literally just said usually we send them off to grab us
Starting point is 00:19:41 a coffee. Not part of their producerial role, but... Sometimes when you guys get sent free stuff, you pretend like some of that was sent to us as well. We do. We simply don't need 25 bags
Starting point is 00:19:58 of chips. We need 20. The 5 was a little excessive. You love a little bit of the spillover. Exactly. Girls get some candles, they get vibrators, they get all sorts. I want to say I've never given them a vibrator. That would be wildly inappropriate. Yeah, it would be.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I would distance myself from that. Sometimes when the free stuff arrives, I'll put it in the bin in front of you and make you go fish it out. Yeah. On our knees as well, which is a bit weird. Yeah. He's like, if you want it, crawl to the bin. And he spits at you. Number five on the list
Starting point is 00:20:26 of the top six things we love about working with Fletch and Vaughn. Love, by the way. It's gone from love to love now. I only have to lend my hairbrush to one
Starting point is 00:20:34 of the announcers I work with. That's actually rude. That's quite rude. I like Carlin's one better. Write that down for HR. Yeah, that was bully.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Prana said I'm not allowed to say anything about us being bull. Oh, really? Yeah. Nah, she said the same thing. In my weekly HR meeting. That was bullying. Prana said they're not allowed to say anything about us being bull. Oh really? Yeah. Nah, she said the same thing. In my weekly HR meeting
Starting point is 00:20:48 I just said you're so shunned. Stamped. Okay, number four on the top six things we love about working for Fletcher and Vaughan. Four.

Starting point is 00:23:55 Please be professional. Hoppy, it's all video based. So, every day on the app, you get dropped a trending question, like, what do you think about this? And you upload a video to your profile answering that question, being like, hey guys, I'm answering this question today and this is what I think.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I like that. Yeah, and then if you like someone else's response as you're doing the swiping, you'll see their response to the same question. If you like it and they like your response, it's a match. You can also... Is it possible to put on a filter?
Starting point is 00:24:25 Because nobody uploads anything without a filter. I've been raw dogging. Have you been raw dogging? 100%. Pimps and all. Pimps and all. I'm just real. See, I also can almost frown again. No, you can't. Yeah, look. Not your forehead. Yeah, I'm trying. Squeeze, squeeze.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Nah, your forehead's not moving at all. Well, it's loosening. And they can also... You can have friends in there, so you can have little communities of your mates, and I'll be like, oh, Fletch, I reckon this sexy Sheila here is a bit of you. And I'd send it to you, and you'd be like, oh, yeah, great. Yeah. So this has been made by the same guy that made B-Real
Starting point is 00:25:04 that was like so hot for a while. Can I just check with the social media desk? Nobody's using B-Real anymore, right? Like we gave up on that years ago. Look, I will say long-time listener of the show, my cousin Melissa, loves a B-Real. Sup, Melissa? Yeah, you guys have met her.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I was just giving her a sup. I don't know what you're doing there. She still uses it all the time. Really? Actually, I should ask you, how many friends does she still have on there that see it every day? Yeah, because I'm trying to find stats and usage.
Starting point is 00:25:32 I'm looking here. 19 essential be real statistics for 2025. 1st of January 2025, according to the Social Shepherd, 23 million active monthly users. Wow. That's a lot. A lot of comedians use it.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I think it's almost how we ironically listen to Creed and now we really enjoy it. Do you know what I mean? I think when everyone dropped off Be Real, a lot of comedians were like, it's funny if I do a Be Real every day. Yeah. And now they like are addicted to it.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Okay. Yeah, for sure. But this Hoppy one, it started in the USA in like colleges. Okay. And they're using it sort of within there and then their goal is to play it out. So it is in
Starting point is 00:26:08 New Zealand or it's coming? Coming to New Zealand. But there is a New Zealand dating app. I saw a billboard for it just by our work. HUD. That's been around for a while, hasn't it? What is it, Shannon? You were nodding your head. Yeah, it's called HUD. It's hookup dating.
Starting point is 00:26:24 That's not in New Zealand. That's been around for ages, hasn't it? How do you know? Are you hooking up? Because I've seen the billboards around for like years. Are you hooking up? Are you on HUD? Are you hooking up? No, I'm not on HUD.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Hookup data. I just know. Or tell us how does HUD work. I always tell you about my hookups. I always tell you. In theory, how does HUD work? Tell me all about this hookup. Fun without strings attached unless you're into that.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I've never been on it. I have no idea. Explore your desires like never before. It stands for honest upfront dating, apparently. Oh, so it's not even standing for it. And it's been around since 2020. Yeah, I've seen the billboards have been around Auckland for like years and years. I swear everyone just says hookup dating as well, by the way.
Starting point is 00:27:00 But is it a New Zealand app or I thought it was worldwide? Oh, I don't know. I just thought it was New Zealand because there was billboards here. And so I was like, it must be like a local thing. Hayley, there are billboards for like... No, in New Zealand, you can only get a billboard if it's a New Zealand made product. All of those cars, all of those computers. All New Zealand made products.
Starting point is 00:27:20 The iPhone billboard. Yes, in the city. So those are the New Zealand made iPhones. But they don't have them overseas. Why? Where do you get yours from? China. Dude, I'm disappointed to hear you're getting your iPhone from China.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I get the New Zealand iPhones. They're all made in China and Vietnam. No, I get the New Zealand made iPhone. First of all, you're doing hookups and now you get no Chinese iPhones? Oh my God. This guy. My man. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Now, a few days ago, my daughter said, she must have seen it online. Okay. She was like, do we still have that Ninja creamy ice cream making machine? And I was like, yes, we do. It was one of those big ass appliances. No, I got sent it. Oh, right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I got sent it from the lovely pillow at Briscoe's. Okay. Because he doesn't have to keep it on his countertop. He puts it in the butler's pantry. No, I don't put it in the butler. I put it in that high storage unit. In the butler's pantry. No, I'd be told off for putting it in the butler's pantry. No, I don't put it in the butler. I put it in that high storage unit. In the butler's pantry. No, I'd be told off for putting it in the butler's pantry,
Starting point is 00:28:08 which is by the butler. By the butler. Okay. What did Jeeves say? Does he not want it in there? Got that thing out of there, Sam. Oh, damn, damn, damn. Bloody hell.
Starting point is 00:28:16 What do you think we are, made of space and hell? So I store it elsewhere, so I had to climb up and get it. Yeah. So then she'd seen online that you can just get, like, a can of peaches and freeze them in the container and then put it in and it makes like a peach flavoured sorbet.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And it was actually legit yum. We got there in the end. But I was like- Yeah, that's because a tin of peaches is like what, half sugar? Yeah, dude. Sugar syrup. It was good stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Sugar syrup and peaches. Yeah. Juice. But this was her thing and I was going gonna leave her to it Let them Oh god He's been listening to Mel Robbins

I sat at the kitchen table and I watched her use a can opener. Now, I thought I was raising a well-rounded human. Yeah. I forgot can opener lessons.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Oh, God. How old is she, though, now? 13. She should know how to open a can. I know she should know how to open a can. This is where you've always opened. That's poor parenting. Yeah, that's poor parenting.
Starting point is 00:29:24 That's poor parenting. No, they need to learn somehow. You need to learn that stabbing a knife and you miss and you cut your hand. I used to do that. I used to be like,
Starting point is 00:29:31 I can get through it. Yeah, you need to know you can't do that. I watched them cut an avocado once and I almost had a heart attack. It was like, a lot of adults do that.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Dude, that's one of, wasn't that ACC's biggest hand injury claims? What to do with like trying to stab an avocado? So I started watching her use a can,
Starting point is 00:29:49 a traditional can, old school, clamp on, grip it with one hand, twist the handle with the other and it works its way around the can.
Starting point is 00:29:57 If I can just sidebar with an ACC avocado stat. You know what I'll have a sidebar. In 2020, 626 avocado related injuries. That's people with the knife going, 626 avocado-related injuries. That's people with the knife going through into their hand, cutting tendons.
Starting point is 00:30:09 And that's just the ones that would admit it. Yep. 507 in 2021. Be careful. We love our avocados. How else do you get the stone out? I am actually really good at getting a perfect line all around the avocado.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah, I do that too. I put the knife in, and then I twist it around, and I make the... I move the avocado on the knife. I do both. I move. It's a bit of a whole situation. When you just miss, when you just miss, you're like, oh, that's gutting.
Starting point is 00:30:31 What a bad day. I know. There's a little flap of the skin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You gutted about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So she was opening the can and she was cack handed and I was just like, let it, let it. Let them. Let them. No, you've got to yell at her and say you're doing it wrong. So then she gets halfway around and then loses the grip. Oh, my hand, she says. Weak. Weak.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Let them. She clamps it back on and does. And then, so I learn upon when I immediately jump up and let them just goes out the window because I'm about to watch my daughter slice her fingers off on a can. Turns out she'd done half the tin. Yep. Then when she'd re-gripped, she'd skipped about half a centimetre
Starting point is 00:31:09 and then gone back and left half a centimetre. So it was like this. Yeah. You know the rubbish bins that do shut, but they pivot on a central thing. Oh my God, what is she doing? And then she gets two fingers and just slams the lid on one side.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Oh no. That's when I'm like, sorry Mel, I can't. And I'm up. I can't let them. And I'm like, this is what, and I'm like, sorry Mel, I can't. And I'm up. I can't let them. And I'm like, this is what? And I was like, look how sharp it is. And with the tin lid like straight up that she just nearly rolled on straight with her fingers.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I got a piece of paper off the bench and I went I ran it across and I just sliced it in half. I was like, this is tin. What was the paper? Was it an important bill? It's just the rates. I'm sure they'll ask me again when they want the when they want i think they send a few reminders for council stuff yeah so i was like look how sharp it is and i'm just like and i was like this is how you open a can
Starting point is 00:31:53 i'll teach you from you then you're gonna be on your own she not know how to open a can just never done i just never had to my god she's used the she's like i like the ones where you get your finger in the ring and give them the hoon yeah Yeah, a lot of them are like that now. But then, yesterday in the work group chat, this is sort of fresh around my, I don't think I'll ever forget this, I'm just watching her grab two fingers and just go bang on a little can and nearly cut her fingers off.
Starting point is 00:32:16 My 13 year old is dealing with exactly the same thing that our 25 year old and the producer's booth, Shannon's, dealing with. You didn't cut your finger on a can yesterday, Hon. Ouchie. When you were making us the lolly cake. Yeah, so I made your lolly cake and then I was cleaning
Starting point is 00:32:32 up and I noticed, you know, once you use sweetened condensed milk, how it all settles at the bottom. Like you think you've emptied it. I just tipped the can straight to the gullet. It's so delicious and I was like, I'm just going to give it a little finger. Yeah, got to finger the tin. My reward for making lolly cake. And I was like, I'm just going to give it a little finger. Yeah. Got to finger the tin. My reward for making lolly cake.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And so I finger the tin and ouch. So you just basically ran your finger across the lolly. It's healed over pretty quick. It wasn't that deep, but it was enough that I squealed and got blood. It's such a raggedy cut, you know, because it's not a beautiful sharpness. Yeah, it's a raggedy tin. I got a big scar on my little finger from where it happened a few years ago. And I had to drive myself to the emergency room just holding it as tight as I could.
Starting point is 00:33:17 And they bleed, they're real bleeding cuts. It was so, I was so ashamed. And then I went to my room to retreat in sadness. I messaged you guys. And then I heard this noise. I went out and a pigeon I went to my room to retreat in sadness. I messaged you guys and then I heard this noise. I went out and a pigeon had shit in my apartment again. It was a bad day for Shannon, actually. Shannon's had a rough 24 hours, actually. Well, yeah, and then I dropped half the lolly cake on the way to work this morning.
Starting point is 00:33:37 So if you're in Auckland City and you're coming down Nelson Street in the CBD, you're going to see some of the best lolly cake you've ever eaten in your life. It's worth it to pick it up off the ground. It's been the bike lane too, so if you're on a, it's already wet underfoot, I'd dodge that cake if you were on a bike. Yeah, you'd go skidding. Yeah, someone honked at me and it gave me a fright.
Starting point is 00:33:57 She frights, she scares easily. Why did someone honk at you? I think because I was wearing heels and a dress and it was 4.30 in the morning. And she's a young, attractive woman. Well, I think, I live near a brothel and I think that might have... Ah, a lady of the night. Ah, they thought you were a lady of the night.
Starting point is 00:34:11 What a compliment. Holding lolly cakes. I wonder if they think now that ladies of the night eat lolly cake after work. Or make lolly cake at work. Someone said as a food teacher of high school age children, I can tell you I've had to hold special classes to teach high school age kids how to open tins. We're screwed.
Starting point is 00:34:30 We're so screwed as a world, aren't we? AI can't open a tin. No. Where's your AI now? Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Now, Producer Carwin, you want to tell us about the dupe loop trend?

Starting point is 00:35:07 Dupe loop. Because it's duplicate, right? Duplicate, yeah. Duplicate. Again, you can say that either way. I had no idea that's what I meant. Oh, shit. Why did you think it was called a dupe?
Starting point is 00:35:18 I just thought it was a word. You thought the word dupe meant what it is? Yeah. Right. Words can just be words. Wait, did you also know words can be words. Yeah. Right. Words can just be words. Wait, did you also know, Georgia? Write that down. Words can just be words?
Starting point is 00:35:29 I just didn't know. Georgia didn't know what dupe was. This is great news for a morning. What? What did you think it meant? Words can just be words. It's just kind of fun. I think words can just be words can go on the calendar.

Like, is it going to be $800 worth of my money? No, no, no. I just made up a number. The most expensive perfume I bought was $600.

There's like this trend online where we get stuck in this loop of going
Starting point is 00:37:31 instead of buying those expensive shoes, I'll buy the Kmart version now and then buy the expensive ones if I wear those Kmart ones enough. But really you should have just bought the first one. You've spent too much. You're duploping. Buy quality and buy once. Yeah. But then why don't you just buy-
Starting point is 00:37:46 It doesn't stand for duplicate. What? What? Screw you. It doesn't stand for duplicate. You still didn't know what it was. Words can just be words, boys. It turns out words can just be words.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Wait, what does jupe stand for? Jupe is from the French word that comes from the French word for a type of bird called a hupe, which has an extravagant crest and a reputation for being dim-witted. So like a shit version of a bird. To deceive or trick.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Yeah, you numpties. Get with it. Wow. It conveys the idea that a victim is easily fooled. So you're juping somebody. Yeah. So it's not right. So it is the jupe version of right. So it's not right. So it is the dupe version of right.
Starting point is 00:38:26 So it's not an abbreviation. You're duping someone with a cheaper imitation or product. Are you guys going to apologise to Georgia and I now? A short form of duplicate that is used to refer to a product made to look like a more expensive

And they just had no answer. Yeah, they had nothing out there. They didn't know the French bird or the duplicate. You never asked me about how I... Shannon knew the French bird.
Starting point is 00:39:09 I knew the French bird. I'm actually a bird expert. Look, I've got one on my computer. What is a bird expert called? What's the word for someone who's a bird expert? Avarist. Nope. I love that she tried.

The ones where you're just like, we've already kind of knocked on this door so I thought we could read a couple of the text messages that have already come in. My husband's 21st was insane. I shit you not, I came out from spewing in the toilet and a full on brawl was at play. And when I say everyone was in it, I mean everyone. My mother-in-law was in there punching someone in the face. My sister had a guy in a choke hold and someone else was kicking him in the guts.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Cheers were being thrown and meanwhile my grandfather was trying to dial 111. Wouldn't work. And the very next day, when he came around to the house afterwards to see how it was all going, he said, and I've bought my first smartphone because I've got to be able to call the police in these sorts of emergencies. Kicking off. What? How was the wedding like? God.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Dude. Jeez. I don't know. Do you know, I'm just remembering the last 21st I went to, I got kicked out and I was definitely one of the oldest ones there. I was in my 30s.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Who's really? It was a friend of my marching team. It was her 21st and the older girls of the marching team being my friends, we turned up
Starting point is 00:41:56 well on our way. Oh, you preload. Yeah, preload and we brought in our own wine to the bar so we got asked to stop doing that and then I got up on stage and cracked
Starting point is 00:42:06 out a whiter. And I will say, the 21st, she is Māori, so there were a lot of Māori people there, and I was probably the whitest one. And I cracked into a big hearty whiter, and then probably got asked to leave. Okay. Wow. And I said, what about
Starting point is 00:42:21 the Tiffany's? Okay, so give us a call 0800 dials at Emerson number Text through 9696 The wild things that happened at the 21st Maybe a speech Caused some Because I've seen a speech that went horribly wrong
Starting point is 00:42:37 Oh my gosh Couldn't even say the details of it now But it was like Just a joke that someone thought was funny But wasn't. And you know, people didn't talk to each other for weeks afterwards. Give us a call, 0800
Starting point is 00:42:52 DALS at M with your stories. Every call that gets on here, you get to pick a 21st key with a prize as well. At my 21st, 48 people got COVID. But Murder on the Dance Floor played 20 times and I kissed the teacher. Oh no. Wait, more details needed.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I kissed the teacher meaning the ABBA song. Oh. Oh. That makes, wild. Okay. I thought maybe the teacher was there from high school and now you're 21, you could kiss them. Murder on the Dance Floor.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Hey. We are taking. We love you. Say it back to your brother. We are taking your stories and calls on those wild 21st moments. Wow. And you are not disappointing. Nope.
Starting point is 00:43:32 So many great stories. Let's go to Anonymous. Anonymous, what happened? Good morning. So my partner had his 21st a few years ago, and it was time for his mum's speech. Yep. And during his mum's speech, she said
Starting point is 00:43:48 that when he was a baby, the doctor dropped him on his head and that's the reason why he is a bit different to everybody else and he works different ways. Hell of a time for that admission of poor parenting.
Starting point is 00:44:04 I suppose she kept it under her hat until he was 21, so she's like, well, he's not my problem now, even though I've caused all his problems. Yeah. And what was it? Everybody there just like, oh, okay. Yeah, my parents were there, and still to this day, my mum brings it up, and she still can't believe that she said that.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Okay, incredible. Anonymous, we're going to give you a 21st key. You get to pick a number. Which number? Up to 21. Some of them have gone. What numbers are left? 17, 18, 19, 20. Any of those? 20, please.
Starting point is 00:44:37 20. Key number 20. $50 Chemist Warehouse gift card. Lovely. Well done. Thank you, Anonymous. Amy, how crazy was the 21st? What happened? Oh, it was pretty loose. But essentially, so I'm a twin,
Starting point is 00:44:54 and so we had double the amount of people at this party. I thought you would have all had the same friends. I thought you would have had surely not double. That's just economies. That's economies of scale. I know, right? And we had security even. So it was in a polytechnic building.
Starting point is 00:45:10 So it was about five stories high. At the top is where the hospital area is where you, you know, go and eat your lunch or what have you. And so we had the party up there and it was a great party, going well. And somebody, not sure what they were doing in the bathroom, but went in and jumped on one of those old school sinks that comes out, so essentially there's no cupboards underneath, and
Starting point is 00:45:31 it ripped it from the wall, and the amount of water that came out, they just ran out, and it was like gushing, as you will, and it flooded five storeys, there was fire engines,
Starting point is 00:45:48 and the Polytech was closed for about two to three weeks afterwards. Because of you! Amy! I know. Because too many people, did you ever find out who actually did it? We still do not know who did it,
Starting point is 00:46:02 but the funny thing is, my parents had said before the party, do you want a trip to Fiji or a party? And me and my sister were like, let's party, let's go. And so afterwards, because my parents had to pay for it, obviously there was insurance involved, et cetera. They were like, it would have been cheaper to send you to Europe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:22 I could have done a Kentucky. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Europe. I could have done a Kentucky. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Amy. Okay, every caller on here gets a key from the 21st board. Which number? We've got 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Oh, let's go 19. 19.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Key number 19. Oink, oink, oink. Oh, you've got an Oral-B electric toothbrush. Oh! Oh! Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Oh! Very nice. Very nice. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:46:48 But your twin's not getting one. That's just for you. You can have better teeth. We're sick of doing double presents here. Yeah. It's my 21st and I'm thinking I want it. Oh, no. He got drunk before the speeches.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Okay, now I'm fine. Oh, I'm going to hold it and get that. Oh, no. He's running his fingers through his hair. Talking about your wild 21st moments. Yeah. Oh, my God. So many text messages of 21st. It just gives me anxiety.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I need to be anonymous. My mum was high on speed at my 21st. What? Got drunk and accused me of stealing her FBOS card. Ended up shoving my glass into my mouth while I was talking and chipped my front tooth. Great times. Good night.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Fantastic moment. Oh, my God. Have a Chardonnay. I'd like to think there's someone listening that was like, was that that 21st? Was that that 21st?
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah, her mum was high on speed. Not my story, but my dad had a 21st back in the day. It was held in the community hall. Same, I had my 21st
Starting point is 00:47:38 in the community hall. Old. Kewatahi Hall. Beautiful spot. Just after you got back from war. Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:47:44 yeah. Yeah, we did. We had a dance. And guess you got back from war. Yeah. Yeah. We did. We had a dance. And guess they weren't a fan of people having fun. Someone called
Starting point is 00:47:49 the Riot Squad which brought the night to a violent and depressing end. Violent and depressing end. Violent and depressing end.
Starting point is 00:47:57 At my 21st I was at my dad's golf club and one of my mates took a shit in the 18th. And somebody else speared off a balcony and somebody else
Starting point is 00:48:05 speared off a balcony and somebody else stole one of the statues from the entrance and somebody else graffitied the honours board. Oh, you know. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Graffiti the honours board. If it's at a golf club, it's not a World War II honours board. It's kind of like a fort still. No, no, no. Then they just got maybe
Starting point is 00:48:20 a... They died for their country. I think maybe they just got 10 under par or something. Oh, okay. That's fine. Graffiti the honours board. Or was it the Guin got 10 under par or something. Oh, okay, that's fine. Yeah, that's fine. Confetti on his board.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Or was it the Guinness board? Yeah, probably 100 guineas knocked off at the bar. I can't call and don't call me, but on my 20th... God, I love this. Don't even call me. I had a wee snooze on the bathroom floor and my dad had to kick open the door, but when he kicked it open,
Starting point is 00:48:39 it went into my face and broke my nose. Oh my God. I can't bring myself to ring in, but at my 21st my dad gave a speech and it went from bad to worse and he hit the jackpot. According to my mates, when he said if you're anything like your mother, you'll be great in the sack.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Oh! Dad! No! I just died in your arms tonight! Oh my God, do not. That did not happen. No! I just died in your arms tonight. Oh, my God. Do not. That did not happen.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I died. I reckon the night's after, right? Night's done after that. My friends still cry with laughter to this day and remind me of it whenever they can. I'll never be able to forget. Well, Dad had a couple of ran furlies. Dad had a couple of bloody Canterbury drafts, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Oh, no. My brother-in-law was 21st. It was a rough lad. Doing his yard glass, he started to vomit. Into it? Into it? Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And then his mates wouldn't let it down. Okay. Okay. Friday flashback is... Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Went to a workmate's 21st. Her parents were divorced because her mum had an affair. Her parents got up to give their speech together.
Starting point is 00:49:44 New stepdad decided he'd stand up there too. Stepdad made a super awkward speech and said that her actual dad was a really great guy. And everyone was like, well, that's nice. And then he said, yeah, but I effed his wife in front of everybody. He said that. It was so bad. And it all blew up in the days afterwards. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Overwhelming top song when we asked for the best 21st songs. Yeah. Some feedback on it though. People who don't know that song really don't like that song. People don't know that song. People don't know that song. Do they not go out and post that? Someone said Darius Rucker's version. You should play Darius's version.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Fair call, but this is the one that's also 21 years old. Yeah. So we play that. Suck it. It's our radio show. It's our 21st. And if you don't like it, go to town early. Yeah, go to town early.
Starting point is 00:50:34 What bar are we going to? We'll meet you in there. Do they still go to town in Invercargill at like 4 a.m.? Yeah, they do. Go straight to work afterwards. I'll go and see back. Hey, if you didn't like it, someone said, my eight-year-old child has autism and they don't really connect with music.
Starting point is 00:50:51 They clapped along during that song and I've never seen her do that. So thanks. Oh, well, that's your song. Connecting people. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley connecting people. Yeah, connecting people. For 21 years. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Now, a lot of people have just come into the studio. Oh, that's very jarring. Was it jarring? Yeah. Your face is jarring. Is this a roast? No, it's not a roast. It's a speech.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Every 21st needs a speech, and it's my privilege today to give this. Why are we doing this? We're just doing a little speech. We're just doing prizes. Aren't we just doing prizes? Yeah, we're going to do prizes. Show your little mouth. Look at you.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Ladies and gentlemen, everyone gathered here today, friends, family, everyone who turned up just for the lolly cake. Absolute honour to be here to celebrate 21 years of Fletch,
Starting point is 00:51:41 let's do the one, and Vaughan. Now, my name is Hayley. I'm somewhat of a sister, some people would say, to the boys. Though I think it's pretty undeniable that there's been some sexual tension
Starting point is 00:51:52 in the studio since I arrived. So I'm just going to let you do with that information what you will. Okay? Now, 21 years together, boys. That's right. 21 years of waking up early to listen to two guys talk.
Starting point is 00:52:02 We're not 21 years of waking up early. 11 years of early, 10 years of late. Sleep-ins, a lot of sleep-ins. We don't talk about the edge, do we? That's what I got told when I started working here. We don't mention the edge. Okay. Well, you just said it twice, so...
Starting point is 00:52:18 Okay, I won't say the edge again. That's the third time. 21 years of listening to two guys talk as we all wondered which one's which, are they gay, and what is the damn show secret and I'm just going to raise a little glass to Lady Di Cheers to Lady Di In all seriousness though
Starting point is 00:52:34 it is a beautiful friendship but we all know there's been some wild nights and no doubt on at least one occasion there's surely been a bit of white lotus situation between my brothers here You don't have chemistry like this for 21 years without a rogue hand in the dark finding its way across a shared bed, am I right?
Starting point is 00:52:52 Hey! Whoa! Maybe that's the show's secret. Singled out to my wild days. Now, over 21 years, Fletch has tapped his watch 750,000 times, yelled, come on, 412,000 times, and worked about 105,000 hours more than Vaughan has.
Starting point is 00:53:09 And over that time, Vaughan has missed 86% of the natural out. So cheers to Vaughan. Cheers. Now, it is customary to give the 21sters a bit of a roasting, but I'm not about to do that. I mean, sure, Fletch, you know, he orders his vagina chino when we go coffee and he wears his gay pastels and his
Starting point is 00:53:28 clip-clop shoes at the cafe. And Shaw Vaughan's car is also perfect for a recently de-virgin 18-year-old on her way to course, but I don't have a bad word to say about these boys. They're called the nicest guys on radio for a reason because Jono and Ben's trademark expired
Starting point is 00:53:44 for a demand and jury broker. Now, in all seriousness, I'm sure everybody wants me to spill some gossip on Fletch and Vaughn. Why are their WhatsApps locked? Why does Fletch's Apple Watch flash with Snapchat updates all morning? I mean, surely those
Starting point is 00:53:59 people are on a different time zone. Why is there so much shimmering brown skin on Vaughn's For You page? So, why are you looking at me like that? Tell me I'm wrong. Open it. Show the people. We don't mention our For You pages, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I can't help that algorithm somehow reads my mind. The algorithm follows you, my friend. So, as a special treat for everyone, for the real goss, I have been recording all of our off-air chats over the last month. I've removed my contributions for safety. And I will be uploading these to Instagram at 12 noon. Unless Fletch gives me unlimited access to the platinum visa and Vaughan cooks me a lovely steak.
Starting point is 00:54:43 And if you want the login to their WhatsApps, I'll be posting that too. For a teaser of that content, you can go to my story that I've just uploaded of Vaughan and his undies. Now that's for real. That's actually for real. So please everyone, raise a glass to Fletch and Vaughan. If you see them out in the street today,
Starting point is 00:54:57 make sure to give them a big squeeze. They absolutely love it. You'll be able to feel Vaughan's massive muscles and Fletch's massive hog. Both of which you'll see shaking around later tonight on the dance floor, I hope, boys. Now, Fletch, the right girl is out there for you somewhere. Keep looking. And, Vaughan, let's just kiss and see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Happy 21st Boys Day to the boys. Cheers, Fletch and Vaughan. Wow, that was good. That was a good drunk speech. Someone give her a taxi to town. It's Uber now, Dad. Play ZM's Fletch, born in Hayley. Just to clarify, Hayley does have an acting degree
Starting point is 00:55:35 and is currently sober. The glass is empty, guys. Everyone was like, gosh, she's been on it this morning. Oh, my God, is Hayley supposed to sound absolutely smashed? I can't figure out if Hayley's absolutely steamed. Or I haven't noticed, and I haven't noticed in the morning if she's up the... How much was that acting degree again?

Starting point is 00:56:06 she would break it over their heads. Now my mother, you've met her. You don't mess with Christine. She doesn't mess about. No. She would've.
Starting point is 00:56:12 I would love to see her break me too. Same. It would've been over Callum's head. Callum would've worn it. She'd single him out. Callum would've worn it.

Starting point is 01:01:49 Oh. More flair. More flair. Congratulations. All right. It's time for fact of the here at Fact of the Day. And today I want to tell you about an upside down painting that was displayed upside down for decades.
Starting point is 01:02:19 It was a Pierre Mondrian's painting called New York City. Did they not think that's weird that New York's upside down? Mm-mm. Abstract as. Oh, okay. Abstract as. Do you want to see? I could show you the picture and you would just be like, what is it?
Starting point is 01:02:33 Is it New York streets? Is it New York subway lines? It's a series of horizontal and vertical tape. They look like tape lines, some red, some yellow. You could put that on any of the four sides. Totally, dude. And it would look like it could have been. But the artist painted it with direction of mind.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Had a specific way that it would have been up. So it was hung up. It was painted in 1941 and hung in 1945. In 2022, an art historian, Suzanne Meyer Bussey. Busse. Now, Winston Peters is going to need to know what that means. That's just her name. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:09 What is your understanding of what it means and what do you take? What does Bussey Galore mean? What does it mean with all those photographs? 2022 Suzanne. We'll just go with Suzanne. He was ready to go. It was there from the other day. I was like we have to. We have to play that. She realised the mistake when she found an old photo showing the painting in the opposite orientation when it was there from the other day. I was like, we have to. We have to play that. She realised the mistake when she found an old photo
Starting point is 01:03:25 showing the painting in the opposite orientation when it was hung in his studio. Oh, okay. So then when Mondrian died in 1944, it was laid flat and it wasn't... This way up. The signature always goes on the bottom, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:40 This wasn't signed. Oh. So it was, and the transportation just got spun around and no one really knew what way and then when the museum opened it, they were like, I guess this way? That's one of those stupid paintings that's probably worth like millions of dollars
Starting point is 01:03:55 but a kid could have done it. You know? But didn't. Alright, Pollock. You know, I can flick a brush at a canvas. Yeah, this guy. Pillockock more like Jokes he doesn't get it Because he's dumb

Starting point is 01:05:47 Thank you to the show sponsor Chemist Warehouse here. Cracking is to deals on at the moment as well, like 45% of the Sunsilk range. And that's where I buy my butt pimple stuff. Every corner on here gets a key. We've still got a few left. Yeah, we've got a handful left, but David Schwimmer was being interviewed on
Starting point is 01:06:04 the Matt Lucas and What's His Face podcast. David Williams. Yeah, David Williams. Have they got a podcast? They've got a podcast. Very funny. And he revealed on that that he really struggled listening to a particular song for a while. Understandable.
Starting point is 01:06:22 I mean... No, you're not playing my thing, babes. Where's that coming from, then? Understandable. I mean... No, you're not playing my thing, babes. Where's that coming from, then? That's not mine. It is yours. No, it's not. I just pulled my cord out.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah, and it made a noise. That means that it's plugged in and... Yeah, but what you're playing... Yeah, that's just a song. Oh, you're playing it under. I'm playing it under. You're doing a live mix. You've got to turn your... Hang on.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Try tuning your volume up a bit. Try tuning your volume. Just hearing the theme song would really... You know what I mean? I just have that reaction. I mean, I just had heard it so many times. Well, no one told you life was going to be that way. Correct.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Thank you. And then at about, as I say, age nine, my kid discovered it and started watching it. Correct, thank you. And then at about, as I say, age nine, my kid discovered it and started watching it and I'd be making breakfast or whatever and I'd hear my kid's laughter. My whole relationship to that song and to the show changed again. So basically, it was like any time he heard
Starting point is 01:07:23 a fring-ling-a-ling-a-ling. Because he associated it with then his kids laughing, not the $20 million he was making a year off residuals. Oh, baby! I mean,
Starting point is 01:07:33 I would listen to that song on repeat for the amount of money that dude still makes a fring-ling-a-ling. I know. But also, I think it's like
Starting point is 01:07:40 incredibly nostalgic. It's emotional and also with Matt Perry, I'm sure. Do you know what I mean? Like, you're just like... Yeah, you're just constantly reminded of a time,
Starting point is 01:07:47 a long time ago. That you did this one thing and you've done many other things. Yeah. Anyway, we were talking about this and be like, everyone's got that song
Starting point is 01:07:54 they can't hear anymore and there's always a reason behind it. You're like, I cannot listen to that song anymore. Blurred Lines. I can't stand that song now.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Oh, there was a TikToker that once a year she allows herself to Blurred Lines listen. Because it's problematic, right? Because it's problematic I can't stand that song now. Oh, there was a TikToker that once a year she allows herself to, a blurred lines listen. Because it's problematic, right? Because it's problematic, but also, it's a bop. Everybody get up.
Starting point is 01:08:17 What about the happy song Pharrell? Yeah. That just got splayed so much and now I just hear it and I'm like, no. Is there a sweet spot? Because I would have said this about Creed. And then there's been a Creed surgence because it was like ironic. But then you've got to rest for 20 years. You've got to give it a rest. You've got to give it a good rest.
Starting point is 01:08:32 It's like when you cook meat, you know, let it rest before you eat it. Totally. Creed's like that. Often you do it with your favorite song, right? You just like waste it. And then you're like, I can't listen to it anymore. Okay. But I reckon like it's more like is there a song you can't listen to anymore because of like a memory
Starting point is 01:08:46 or an ex? It was your song. It was your wedding song. It was, you know what I mean? The song you lost your virginity to. We want to know
Starting point is 01:08:54 what song you cannot listen to anymore and why because David Schwimmer can't listen to For years. Although he's now done a 180 on it.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Yeah. Because his kids love it. Yeah, totally. But for a while he was like, it 180 on it. Yeah. Because his kids love it. Yeah, totally. But for a while he was like, it just haunted him. Yeah. And he was saying as well, like every talk show he'd go out, it'd be like, please welcome to the show, David Schwimmer. You know, and he was like, I do other things.
Starting point is 01:09:19 It's torture. It's torture. So we want to know. We want to know from you what songs you just can't listen to anymore. Renee, what song is that for you? Closing Time. Oh, it's a classic. It's a semi-sonic.
Starting point is 01:09:32 We just played that recently for Friday Flashback because Donald Trump was using it. Yeah, you did. Yeah, sorry about that. I was going to use it for a bit there. Renee, why don't you like this song? Oh, it's just this 3am after town, the bright lights, the makeup melting
Starting point is 01:09:47 off your face. Seeing the guy you've been macking on. But isn't it fun to look back on our youth and be like, yeah, we used to do that. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:09:58 And now it's 8 o'clock and I'm totally in bed. Yeah. And I'm already tired. Yeah. And you can never listen to this song again. And my face somehow now looks worse than it did 20 years ago
Starting point is 01:10:08 with makeup running down it. Hey, Renee, we're celebrating our 21st today, 21 years of working together, so you get to pick a key. Five, four, or 16? Four, please. Four. You have won the Ariana Grande Pink Cloud Perfume. Oh, very nice.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Nice. Nice. It's yours. Thanks, Renee. Wait there, we'll sort that out. Ashley, very nice. Yes. Nice. It's yours. Thanks, Renee. Wait there, we'll sort that out. Ashley, what song can you not listen to anymore? It's Fireflies by Our City. Oh, I remember when this song came out.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Fireflies. Oh, I hate it. It was a time, eh? Is there a memory associated with it, Ashley? Yeah, I was 15 at the time, and there was a couple I went to college with who were insufferable, and they said that it was? Yeah, I was 15 at the time and there was a couple I went to college with who were insufferable and they said that it was their song
Starting point is 01:10:48 and they'd sit together on the field holding hands, looking into each other's eyes and they'd say it in the background. I'd really appreciate it if you could actually delete it from the ZM system. She doesn't want it on. Who plays it? I haven't heard this on ZM for years.
Starting point is 01:11:03 I don't know if we've seen it. Oh, it was on the other day. Was it? Oh, that's on Georgia. That feels like a Georgia problem. It does feel like something Georgia would do to spite you. Georgia, eh?
Starting point is 01:11:10 Urban shit. Grow up. Yeah, ooh, yuck. Hey, what's happened to the couple now, though, Ashley? Are they still together? Oh, I mean, he cheated on her, obviously. Yeah, obviously. Like a month later.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Yeah, yeah. 100%. And she's ugly now, so. Yeah. Ashley, we'll hook you up with a key from our 21st. Five or 16? Or 15 or 18? 16.
Starting point is 01:11:26 16? You have a Glow Lab set with a diffuser and room spray. Beautiful. Yes. Amazing. Thank you. All right, Ashley, wait there. Let's go to Michelle.
Starting point is 01:11:35 What song can you no longer listen to, Michelle? Hi, first of all, happy 21st. Thank you very much. Thank you. So it's actually your guys' podcast, believe it or not. That's crazy. We put a lot of effort into that. I promise.
Starting point is 01:11:51 My husband and I, we went for a month to Europe and without our children. Exceptionally homesick it was. It was heavenly. But whenever I felt homesick, I'd listen to the podcast because it reminds me of driving my kids to school in the mornings. We all listen
Starting point is 01:12:08 to the show. We love it. And then for about a week after I got home, every time I turned on ZDM and heard you guys in the morning, I'd get so upset and just remember being over there missing my babies and being homesick. It was only
Starting point is 01:12:24 temporary though. Right, so now you're back. So when you go away and you take a break from your children, you miss them? Is that what I'm understanding? I know. Gosh, they were wild. Towards the end, we did a little.
Starting point is 01:12:40 I would just imagine it would be the best four weeks of my life. I'm just like, this is the best. Well, to be honest, it really was. And like I said, it was really only in that last week that I really started missing them. Oh, you're so sweet. I was gearing up
Starting point is 01:12:50 to get home. Did you ditch them with the grandparents for a month? Hell yeah, it was amazing. Amazing, yeah. It was amazing.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Do you want a little prize from the keyboard? We've got 18, 15 or 5. I'll take 18, please. 18, oh my God, you've got such good photos. You've got a cosmetic bag or 5. I'll take 18, please. 18. Oh, my God, you've got such good phone numbers. You've got a cosmetic bag set from Tender Love. It's sad to say, Aerosmith, I don't want to miss a thing.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Why? Because there was this guy on Valentine's Day in year nine that had his guitar and he serenaded one of my best mates with that song and he's like, hey, I've got something to play you at lunch. At lunch,
Starting point is 01:13:29 we walk to the field and he fully sings I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. That's the best. That is simply That's that, not it. That's the bravest thing
Starting point is 01:13:39 I've ever heard. And he gave her a single and it's just Wait, wait. No, we've got a little bit more. A little bit more, sorry, carry on. He gave her a single, Rose, and it was his whole thing.
Starting point is 01:13:46 It was honestly, I can't. Okay. Shush. Shush. Ah, good stuff. Good stuff. Oh, that's just... I can listen to this because my immediate visual is Liv Tyler's tummy
Starting point is 01:14:00 and Ben Affleck throwing the animal biscuit across it. Cute, good tummy. Someone said they can't listen to Zombie by Cranberries, which is a banger song, but they lost their V to a guy who was so strange. Zombie! Yeah! Wait,
Starting point is 01:14:15 while the song was playing? Or was he in the Cranberries? I don't know if he was in the Cranberries. Just the song. Was they all female? No, it was only her. She was female, the rest of them the Cranberries. Just the song. Were they all female? No. Oh my God. It was only her. She was female.
Starting point is 01:14:27 The rest of them were. You're thinking of the cause. Yeah, you are. The cause. No, the Cranberries. The cause, yeah. Oh my God, someone's really annoyed. Why?
Starting point is 01:14:36 I can't listen to anything Dave Grohl does now. It pissed me right off about having that affair. Oh. Oh, yeah, okay. Spoiler. Not such a good guy after all. Because he was the nice guy. But then that's also on you for having
Starting point is 01:14:49 great expectations of someone that's in a rock band. Someone said freaks by Savage. It's PTSD from Secret Sound. Every time they hear it, they feel like we're freaking up. Actually fair on that. Yeah, hold on. I'll give you just... Oh, yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Georgia, what do you think the secret sound is? A hole punch. Someone says they listen to the fact that... Every time they sing the Fact of the Day jingle, they say, hey, Lee, afterwards, because I did it once. Because you did it that one time. I can't listen to Broken by See The Feet, Amy Lee. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:22 What a song. Remember that song? It was my song with my ex, who I absolutely loved. Fast forward 10 years, and we reconnected, and. What a song. Remember that song? It was my song with my ex who I absolutely loved. Fast forward 10 years and we reconnected and now we're married. The song was played when we signed our marriage certificate. So they couldn't listen and now they re-listen. I was about to launch into my lover's dead speech. And they can breathe again.
Starting point is 01:15:42 A lot of funeral ones. Oh, yeah. Yeah, lots of people sang funeral ones. Oh, yeah. Yeah, lots of people sang funeral songs. Yeah. Songs played at funerals always make them sad. Okay. A lot of women messaged in saying a particular song that was massive during their pregnancy
Starting point is 01:15:55 when they were having their morning sickness. And then when they hear it, it kind of takes them back to the uncomfortable time. Oh, right. Has Kiss Me Through the Phone come through? No. Kiss Me Through the Phone come through? No. Kiss Me Through the Phone. What?
Starting point is 01:16:09 Dial that one up, please, Bourne. Soulja Boy. Kiss Me Through the Phone. Kiss Me Through the Phone. Oh, genuine. Pony. This is a great song, Georgia. Kiss Me Through the phone. I don't wanna miss you.
