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.

Bald eagles are known for their strong bonds
and typically mate for life,
returning to the same nest and partner year after year.
This year, ZM celebrates the 21st anniversary of our very own bald eagles.

Now tell each other you love each other.
I love you.

Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Not about me today.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm sure you'll find a way.
That's fine.
Happy 21st anniversary.
Yeah.
How about that?
That's tomorrow is the legal date.
Yeah, that means a year ago last year we were doing our live shows,
the 20th anniversary special.
Yes.
Goodness me.
God, they were great, the live shows.
Fun times.
Good fun.
Well, yeah, 21 years working together.
Yeah.
Jesus.
And still.
He just said.
Still effing useless.
Because I was sitting on the chair and he's like,
it's 30 seconds, get set up.
And I was like, I'll get set up in time.
And he huffed and said, 21 years and still effing useless.
Still effing useless.
Yeah, we're like your grandparents.
We just don't know how to separate.
Yeah, basically.
Today on the show, though, because it is our 21st, we have a 21st board full of 21st keys.
Yeah. And you're chance to win a wholest board full of 21st keys. Yep.
And you'll chance to win a whole bunch of prizes today on the show.
When you call up, pick a key.
Yeah.
You tell us, I'll see what the prize is.
Did you get a key for your 21st?
No.
No.
Oh, didn't you?
I got one.
I got a, you know, diamond encrusted glass that said 21.
Beautiful.
I had that.
Of course you did.
A diamond encrusted.
Is that what you get at private school?
Oh, Swarovski.
No.
Swarovski, first class.
Plastic and crusted.
Yeah.
I should have brought it in.
Right.
Good morning, Hayley.
Hello.
How are you doing?
We didn't ask.
You sound peppy.
Yeah, we didn't ask for anyone to call, but let's just do this.
Here you are.
What are you calling up for?
You're just saying hi?
Yeah, happy anniversary. Thanks, Hayley. 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.
You've got a shift worker vibe about you.
Oh, kind of.
I've got a toddler.
Oh.
Yeah, that shift work.
That shift work.
Shit work and shift work.
Yeah.
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?
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh,
hey,
hey,
hey,
hey,
hey.
Yeah,
you are.
It's okay.
It's okay. Just admit it. Play ZM's Fletch, Bourne and Hayley. Yeah, you are. Hey. It's okay. It's okay.
It just didn't matter.
Play.
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?
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.
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
anxiety help website
but she uploaded to her Instagram
a bit of a rant
that I wanted to share with everyone

I was thinking about this like before,
when Aaron and I first got together
and I would go over to his house
and I would just hold him my farts.
Because that's a thing, isn't it?
You're just holding your farts.
And I used to get in my car afterwards
and be like, oh God, my stomach.
It would hurt a lot.
Whereas now you just like let it out.

And I love that Doji's just heads up, guys.

I'm going to fart.
Did you let out a fart just before?
I did just moments ago, yeah.
Yeah, felt pretty good.
Was it good?
Well, we're 21 years together.
Just let it out.
Romance is dead, eh?
I mean, we used to try and keep it in.
No, we didn't try to keep it in.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hay in. ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley.
Fletchborn and Hayley.

On this day
April 4th
Friday
The day before our 21st anniversary
Is how many times do you sneeze when you sneeze?
Twice
I'm just once
So
A bit hearty
We said
Beautiful
I don't know the Maori word for plus
Oh wow he doesn't know the Maori word for plus
Wow Of course Hayley Of course Hayley that word is or fa plus? Beautiful. I don't know the Maori word for plus. Oh, wow, he doesn't know the Maori word for plus. Wow.
Good one.
Wow.
Of course, Hayley, that word is.
Yeah, well, it's actually not my job
as the Maori woman in here to educate you.
That's not my job.
Right, but yeah, it would be nice
being the Maori woman,
you could tell us what...
It's not my job to educate you.
That is laziness on your behalf.
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.
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,
tapiri.
Tapiri.
Which, of course,
you knew.
Exactly,
but it's not my job
to educate you,
is it?
I know,
exactly.
God.
Exactly.
I have a family member
that does that.
And I'm like,
what's happening?
Mel Bracewell does that?
Mel Bracewell.
Yeah, she goes crazy.
So they can't do one.
Okay,
now today, because it is our 20th, we're celebrating our...
Mate, we haven't done our results before we go to our people.
We must do our percentage results.
God, spit it out.
21 years, you guys have no synergy.
What's because he doesn't know the natural out?
I don't know the natural out.
39% of people, the majority, not the majority, but the largest one,
39% of people sneeze twice.
Okay.
Sneezing once is at 32%. Sneezing three times at 21. And 39% of people sneeze twice. Okay. Sneezing once is at 32%, sneezing three times
at 21, and 9%
of people sneeze four times plus.
Again, I'm not in the majority.
You're a one-er. You're a minority.
You're a one-er in Dunrods. I was a two-er most of the time.
Now, we do have a
21st keyboard in studio.
21 keys on there with
prizes behind all of them, and every caller
today gets to pick a key. Ash, good morning.
How many times do you sneeze?
I do two dainty sneezes.
Could you tickle some pepper up your nose?
I want to hear these dainty sneezes.
Could you fake us a dainty sneeze?
I can't sneeze on call.
Is it like...
Yeah.
It's like that.
I don't.
I like that.
I swear when I sneeze.
Can I also just rewind the clock 20 seconds?
Fletch saying,
Hey, good morning, Ash.
How many times do you sneeze?
I know.
I've had the most radio feel to it in the world.
I know.
I hated it.
I hated it when I said it.
Ash, how many times do you sneeze?
I did.
I'm getting ready for more FM.
Yeah, big.
No, we're not ready yet.
No, we're not ready yet.
A few more years.
A few more years. A few more years.
Ash, what key do you want off the board?
It's probably in granted.
Hang around.
I think I have a key number seven.
Number seven.
Key number seven.
Okay.
I've got it here.
That's my lucky number.
Huzzah.
You have a Byron Home diffuser and soy candle.
Oh.
From Byron Home.
Oh, lovely.
Lovely, lovely.
Well done, Well done.
I hope there's some
jupe on the board.
I hope there's some
jupe on the board
because all the prizes
are from the show
sponsor, Chemist Warehouse.
Okay.
Wait there.
Nicole, how many
times do you sneeze?
I sneeze at least
three times.
It goes a-choo,
a-choo, a-choo.
Okay, that was cute.
That was pretty cute.
A-choo, a-choo, a-choo.
Okay, you're recalling
it's a key.
What number do you want?
Could I please have number one?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have...
Oh, brah.
Brah.
A new Sashi protein set.
We've got protein, vanilla protein, an alpha shaker.
You're going to get Gaines prize.
Oh, that's what Warren wants, eh?
That's what you have.
That's Warren's prize, that one.
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
I just said
you're so shunned.
Stamped.
Okay, number four
on the top six things
we love about
working for Fletcher and Vaughan.

they've already bought.
We love Abyssal.
We love Abyssal.
That's right and I gave you a vacuum cleaner. You did and I love Abyssal. We love Abyssal. That's right, and I gave you a vacuum

the point in it not being used.
That's right. I've got no problem. Community. I don't like people
as we've recently established, I don't like
people, but I quite like community. Yeah.
It's a weird juxtaposition. That's gorgeous.
Number three on the top six reasons
we love working with Fletch and Vaughan.
They make me feel young because they ask
me what stuff means.
That's quite rude.
That's quite rude.
What was the one yesterday?
What was the one yesterday?
There was something.
Was it when Vaughan asked what bussy?
No, I know what a bussy is. I know what asy? No, I know what a bussy is.
I know what

Yeah, you're

Okay, moving on
from there.
Number two on
the top six things
that we love
about working
with.
Because it's our
21st anniversary
today.
We're not just
making the
producers do
this.
It sounds like something Hayley would do.
If someone calls now, we'll let you have one of our
21st keys. Yes.
We'll do it after number one.
Who's going to open that? I'm literally doing this.
Sorry.
We'll just go straight. We'll just go live.
I'll just answer a raw dog.
We used to raw dog it back in the old days.
Yeah, quite a few... Okay. The secret's coming out now. Okay, raw dog. We used to raw dog it back in the old days. Yeah, quite a few.
Okay.

You always consider my vegetarianism.
Vegetarianism.
Jesus, give that woman some iron.
She's dizzy.
When ordering for the table by getting me a bowl of fries.
White rice.
White rice, baby.
Yep.
And number one on the top six
reasons we love working with Fletch and Vaughan,
I've gained two new parental
figures to disappoint.
That's four in total!
Yeah, that's good. Great top

Funnily enough.
A few of them are gone, but randomly pick a number.

And keep listening.
Every caller today gets a 21st care surprise.
Play ZM's, F Flashborn and Hayley.
So, a new dating app on the market here.
It's called Hoppy.
And, sorry, just a little burp came out.
It's okay.
Sorry.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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've been listening to Mel Robbins
You should listen to Mel Robbins
Don't wanna push it on your
This guy
Listening to a wellness podcast
As if
Let them
So I was like
Let them
Let her
Let her do it
I think you need this
Let them
Totally
100%
Let them
Let her do it
Oh totally She's gonna let it Oh god I sat. 100%. Let them. Let her do it. Oh, totally.
She's going to learn.
Oh, God.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
What a bad day.
I know.
There's a little flap of the skin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You gutted about it.
Yeah.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We're so screwed as a world, aren't we?
AI can't open a tin.
No.
Where's your AI now?

Now, Producer Carwin,
you want to tell us about the dupe loop trend?
Yeah.
We love a dupe.
Yeah, exactly.
The show loves a dupe.
Everyone loves a dupe.
Dupe with a D.
We also love dupe with a J.
Both sold out, Kim, as we have to be fair.

Dupes and dupes.
Yeah.
Do you reckon they do a dupe dupe?
A dupe dupe.
You're my little dupe dupe.
So the dupe loop or dupe loop.
I don't know.
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?
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?
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.
Yeah, if we started collating our 2026 motivational horse calendar.
Yeah. Words can just be words our 2026 motivational horse calendar. Yeah.
Words can just be words.
It's got to be on there.
Second only to audiobooks

Yeah.
Audiobooks is reading.
So we've got two.
Great.
Okay, well this is good.
So dupes,
standing for duplicates.
Yes.
So this is the trend
called the dupe loop.
So I might see
a very expensive perfume. Yeah. And I'm like, am I might see a very expensive perfume.
Yeah.
And I'm like, am I going to like it?
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.
Yeah, I was kind of basing it off of Hayley.
That's like 1200 links Africa.
And you know what?
There's like, I reckon four squirts left in it. Really? That's what 1200 links Africa And do you know what There's like I reckon four squirts left in it
Really
That's what he said
Four
That wasn't subtle
Just the way I had 21 years
Just wasn't even subtle
Nah wasn't I
It was raw
Wasn't even sly
Or slide
Nah
Clever
No it certainly wasn't clever
Straight up
Grotty
It was yuck
Yeah
Okay
Made me feel yuck
I feel like I need to brush my teeth after I said it.
Yeah, I've got furry teeth after that.
$600 perfume.
Get out.
Okay, so I smell Hayley's
perfume. She tells me it's $600. I'm like,
damn, I really like that perfume.
You smell good at like $600 good.
And I go,
is it going to be worth me spending
$600 now yeah or should
i go get a dupe i go get a dupe because i'm not earning hayley money and that's right but then
that's right carlin but then i love the dupe and i go okay it's worth my six hundred dollars
i'm in the dupe loop where what i've done is now spent like $660 because I could have just got
the original.
There's like this trend online where we get
stuck in this loop of going
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-
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.
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.
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.
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
or high quality product.
Designer dupe the fashion blogger.
She has her favourite designer dupes.
So duplicate. On this, the fashion blogger, she has her favourite designer jupes. So, duplicate. On this,

an apology must be issued.
Well, no, because you were saying, Vaughan, it's both.
It's being juped and it is a duplicate.
Yeah, but also words can just be words.
We were...
We were... So, technically,
Fletcher, I think what you're trying to say is we were right.
Yeah, we were, yeah. 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.
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?

We want to talk about
those legendary 21sts.
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. Okay. My husband's 21sts. 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
in the community hall.
Old.
Kewatahi Hall.
Beautiful spot.
Just after you got back
from war.
Yeah,
yeah,
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
the Riot Squad
which brought the
night to a violent
and depressing end.
Violent and
depressing end.
Violent and
depressing end.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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...
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
$38,000. Worth every cent.
Worth every cent.
Well, speaking of drinking, you know
on a 21st you either do
like 21 shots or you do a yardie.
Did you guys do them? No, my mum
told my friends they bought a yard glass
to my 21st
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.
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.
Yeah, a bit smaller.
Yeah.
Did you do one fledge?
No.
Nah.
Neither did I.
Did you?
Nah.
Classy. Wow. Classy. it on Fletch? No. No. Neither did I. Did you? No. No.
Classy.
Wow.
Classy. Classy.
I think my sister did 21 shots.
Did my sister do 21?
In moderation.
Obviously in moderation.
Well, this is the thing.
I'm a low alcohol thing.
Okay.
Because we were like, what's the equivalent of 21 shots for a show like ours that only
ever drinks in moderation and takes it very seriously?
Yeah.
21 of our favourite Bible verses.
Okay. How did you know? Yay. Yay. Yeah. 21 of our favourite Bible verses.
How did you know?
Yay.
All right.
Matthew 16.
Yeah.
My brother.
Brother.
Ew.
Instead, I have 21 quickfire questions for you guys.
And we're going to put your friendship, your 21-year friendship and on-year professional relationship to the test.
Okay.
Don't think about it too quick, too much.
Do we both answer or will there be certain questions for certain people?

But he won't sleep with them.
No, he doesn't like it.
Probably because he's worried they're related. All right English. Correct. But he won't sleep with them. No, he doesn't like it. Probably because he's worried they're related.

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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
Doesn't get it
Isn't that the funny one of the show
Yeah
No I'm funny and also
Cultured
Yeah
He just pushes buttons
Yeah
And uncultured swine
Some would say
Yeah New Plymouth
Uncultured swine
Excuse me
We've got a Len Lai Ant Gallery

Yes It was very Again adding to my Extensive culture Yup You've got a Len Lai art gallery and you've been here and it's lovely. I love it. Yeah, that was nice. I've had a walk around that.
Yes.
That was very, again, adding to my extensive culture.
Yeah.
So today's fact of the day and the final for Upside Down week is that a painting called New York City One, painted in 1941, hung in 1945, hung upside down until 2022.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. So the wonderful... Wait. We've just got to do a couple of keys.
The wonderful Fletch and Vaughan
are celebrating 21 years on air together.
Good save.
Good save.
And to celebrate,
we are giving away 21 prizes on our keyboard.
And Jay.
Good morning.

It's Shannon's perfume of choice.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
to get home.
Did you ditch them
with the grandparents
for a month?
Hell yeah,
it was amazing.
Amazing, yeah.
It was amazing.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
I don't wanna miss you.
I'm sorry, but Friday Jams is coming up.
This has to start Friday Jams.
All right, you put it in.
It's on you.
A listener literally told us.
Oh, no, Georgia told us.
No, I did.
A listener has said, this is how to lose me.
And Fletch is like, we've got to play it next.
Oh, my God.
Can you play Genuine Pony?
Drunk AF at Mahin's do.
Got challenged to do a pole dance on a stop sign in front of three pubs
that were absolutely packed.
Had to stop a boy racer to use his stereo.
And they all videoed me stripping the genuine.
This is the explicit version.
How soon does genuine get explicit?
Just play the beginning.
Explicit.
Bow.
Bow. Bow.
Bow.
That is... Oh my God,
put your top back on.
Coming out the back
of a Mitsubishi Lancer,
Jess.
Oh, yeah,
with the big...
Bow, bow.
I'll just stop that now
in case it gets explicit.
Any others?
So many.
I'm really enjoying this.
Okay, hit us.
Hey, look at some more.
Dido White Flag
Oh
That's a shame
I did my nana's funeral
More than 20 years ago
I cannot listen to it
Without bawling
Should have been true
Should have been hard
To be around
Dido
Cheer up Dido
How was your day hon
Should have been
Start with a huff?
What? Pitbull?
I can't listen to Pitbull.
Which song?
Because he rhymed Kodak with Kodak
and that's unacceptable.
I hate it when people do that.
Rhyme with Kodak.
Take a picture with a Kodak.
That one.
Mr. Three-Five.
I just pulled up Fireball
because it's the best Pitbull song.
Yes, it is.
Okay. Give us another couple, Hay Hayley before we log off for the day
Happy by Pharrell
Oh fair
It was my kids school bell
I used to play that to get them back into the classroom
That's horrific
Girls Like You by Maroon 5
That was a soundtrack to my husband's affair
What?
Okay go hit it Girl Like You Maroon 5. That was a soundtrack to My Husband's Affair. What? Okay, go.
Hit it. Hit it, Vaughn. Hit it. Girl Like You.
Oh my gosh.
This is also the explicit version.
So I'm just free-balling over here, man. This is scary.
What a dumb song to have an affair to.
Grow up. That sucks.
There's a bit of Maroon 5 songs.
Not many, but... Oh, Slice of Heaven.
Banger, but it was my uncle's ringtone
and I miss him so much.
It makes me sad.
Oh.
We're going to play it now.
Great ringtone.
Great.
I don't know if it is.
It's a vintage.
Hello, Uncle Gary speaking.
Like, if that goes off every day...
Get gas here.
Get gas here.
Get a big gas here.
Okay, we have to end on this.
Okay, okay.
This was mine and my ex's song together.
Lips of an Angel.
Hinda.
Hinda.
Hinda.
Oh, yes.
Really good to hear.
Wait, what was the song
that we're kicking off
Friday Jams with?
You're getting rid of
Dolce and Chucky
and Kiss Me Through the Phone.
Okay, I'll get
Kiss Me Through the Phone
ready when you get
Lips of an Angel.
Oh, this one,
which is like,
why are you making me cheat?
Because you're so hot.
I guess we've never
really moved on.
Oh, yeah, wow.
Kiss me through the phone.
I've got it.
Don't taste.
Name it sounds so sweet.
Love it.
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weird
Beautiful song, beautiful singing.
Gorgeous.
Thank you to everybody today for the lovely words
on our 21st anniversary working together.
Yeah.
Thank you for your drunk auntie speech.
It was the highlight of the day.
I just want to say thank you to the people that got me some food.
I'm feeling a little bit better.
I've had some foods and I'm ready to party the rest of the night.
Let's get her a water.
Okay, if you had to rate, review or marry Fletch, Vaughn or Hayley,
what one would it be?
Okay, I would marry Hayley.
I would have sex. Wait, which one is it? No, I would marry Hayley. I would have sex
Wait, which one is it?
No, no, no, no. It's only rate, review,
marry. Oh, okay.
No comment. I could have sex with the podcast
I don't know how that would work.
Give us a sexy little review though.
