I love hay Also hay can be Quite harsh as well Hey Hey, hey's a very curt Is it curt? Is Kurt? Is Kurt The word of my after he did it? Yeah, maybe Hey

It's two minutes past six Vaughn joining us from the QMU Studio this morning, our QMU Studio. Yes, a beautiful. I can't say what secret project I'm working on, but I'm not in studio. Today I'm in the QMU Studios. Oh, okay. Salacious.

Yeah, yeah. A couple of things I did not have on our radio show bucket list for 2025. Talking to Lincoln Park and talking to a journalist, a woman hit by a seagull in the head. All in one show. All in one show. So don't go anywhere today, dear listener. because, boy, we've got that for you.

A doo-zo. The top six-spawn. You're worryingly statistics out that a lot of licenses have been revoked for truck drivers. These are the people in charge of those giant battering rams full of extremely heavy cargo that corinned down our state highways and rural roads. Do you guys suck in when you overtake our truck? Always suck in. I hate overtaking when it's...

it's not a passing lane. I used to play fast and loose with an overtake. Nah, never really that fast and loose, but I used to feel the power of it. Now, I hate it. I'll sit behind a car going 90Ks an hour just to avoid an overtake when it's not a passing lane. Is it changed, man?

I'll curse them the whole time. Top six is going to deal with this fact that a lot of truck drivers have been stripped of their licenses. Yeah, that's right. It's the top six signs that that truckie has a fake license. Next on the show, though, why the tax man could have to go through your only fans account.

All of your content, all of your content that you make. Hey, don't help me. And how to become a tax man. Yeah. The Fletchborn and Haley, big pod. Funny story out of America. It has to do with Donald Trump's

big beautiful bill. And part of it was no tax on tips for those American workers that you know, rely on tips. It's the worst thing about... It's the worst thing about... The worst thing about traveling to America is tipping everywhere you go. How just, um, just paying them.

Yeah, like here, right? Just paying them. I don't, I don't understand it. It's confusing and then I feel like I'm shortchanging them. But then say, yeah, some Kiwis go over and they don't and you're like, well, that's how they earn money. Like they literally don't have a base hourly salary. Yeah, or it's like $2.

Yeah, it's insane. So, um, part of this is going to mean that they can claim back, um, a lot of money that they get as tips without paying tax on it, which they used to do, which is nuts, right? Yeah, it is crazy. And so part of that, there is an exception for pornography and only fans. So because you get tips on there,

like you can tip their creators. Yes, you can. So they obviously get an income, but then there are tips on only fans. So they're like Uber? Kind of like Uber. Yeah, it is. Like, basically.

Hey, they get their fee from your ride and then you can tip them. Except it's not like Uber, you're like, great set of knockers. I'll give you five bucks. Is that not how it works? Well, actually, you probably could do that. I think that's probably exactly how it works. Yeah. Yeah, right.

No, I mean, in Uber, though, you wouldn't be nice set of knockers, but on only fans you would. No, I Uber to work this morning. And nice set in my car at work. And I tipped $3 as I've done. And then I said great tits. Great tits. Great tits, his name was Leon. I was going to say, how did he take that?

How did he take that? Great tits, Leon, I'm yet to hear back. So the funny bit about this story coming out of America is that a lot of people on only fans don't do pornography. And the wording of the bill about the tax exemption for pornography is a little bit vague. So what it means is that if you're on Only fans doing, I don't know, just not nude stuff.

And apparently people are on there doing like, I don't know, yoga or cooking and like it's like elite content so like influences will go here's my content on Instagram and all there or TikTok if you want elite content I'm on only fans you have to pay for it yes but it's not poor I thought elite

content was just a code boobs no no no no no no no it would be like yeah more exclusive content like full yoga stuff the funny bit about it is yoga with boobs no but apparently it's not apparently it's not and so this is a funny thing is that their version of the IRD,

the IRS, it's going to literally or in court, this is going to happen in a tax court, they're going to have to go through all the only fans' content and then decide case by case if that is porn. I volunteer as tribute. Can you imagine a job you want 14A?

Can you imagine that as a job? Work from home. You'd never, God, you'd be, no, I was going to say something inappropriate. Say it. Say it. You'd be Be raw, is what I was going to say you'd be raw, is what you'd be. Your job is, is this porn. Yeah, isn't that crazy?

And at the end of a day, you're like, 100% all of it was porn. Well, like, could you imagine being in a courtroom and you're like, okay, judge, this is all of the, my content from the last, like, two years. Yeah. Can I have the tips now? Can I have the tax back? Yeah, can I have it? Insane. America.

So what you're seeing here is I'm going to put that in there, and then he's going to, and then I'll put that in there. Yeah, I think they'll pretty quickly be able to establish that you're not getting your tax back for that. I wonder if it would be like, you know, the old adage of, you know, someone found their kids smoking, so made them smoke a whole pack of sickies. I wonder if it would, you know, work in that. I'd have put you off. Yeah, we'd have put you off. Maybe.

Play ZM's Flashfallen and Haley. It is also the end of the year. Oh, and so we've got two lists out today. Yes. The Google search results that you're about to go through. For New Zealand, yeah. New Zealand and also overnight Uber have released

their report. I think it's probably been my best year with Uber. No spews, not too boozy. How many times have you ordered Uber Eats though? Heaps. The record in New Zealand is 1,200. For a year. On average

three times and their repeat one of their repeat order is a cookie pie. So they've absolutely outed someone as being a lover of a Looky pie. Now, the most popular order on Uber-Eats this year in New Zealand is butter chicken with garlic narn.

30,000. You got a cheesy garlic narn. 30,000 times. Yeah. And apparently, North Island, the generous tip is over the South Island, $2.50 to $2.41. I always tip now. John Campbell told us to tip because the drivers need it. I think also, if you're living in the South Island, in the high country, and they've driven

three hours to bring you your butter chicken, you give them a tip. Give them a little tip. It's like the least. the least you can do. I've definitely contributed quite a few of those, butter chickens, garlic nans. Cheesy garlic narn for me, though. Yeah, it's good stuff.

Well, the top trending 2025 searches on Google in New Zealand, there's big themes. What do they call it? Is one of them name suppression? Death, disaster and drama. Okay. Is sort of the theme of it. The number one search this year, Charlie Kirk.

Yes, right. right-wing I guess because a lot of people would have been like, who is he? Yeah, yeah, the guy who... I honestly, I hadn't heard of him until he was assassinated. I had...

I had, but... I had, but... Because there was a lot of videos of him going face to face with, like, left-wing... Yeah. Young people, basically trying to argue with him

about his right-wing politics. But if you don't know who he is, he got publicly assassinated. Yeah, that's the first time I've ever seen someone get shot in the throat, and I didn't want to see it. I didn't want to see it. On social media, yeah. It was very odd.

Big overall themes, Charlie Kirk, Ed Gein, who they did the documentary about was Charlie Hanam. Yeah. Played Ed Gein, who was a serial killer. And ongoing global conflicts in Iran. Iran was one of the most Googled searches. Cyclone Alfred. Who where was Alfred? it.

Oh, I'll give that a red-hot. You give that a red-hot Google, babes? How do you think we're going to end up, like, next year just doing chat GPT's biggest searches? Yeah. It was, you're, chat GPT's biggest topics. Because, like, how quick do you think people are changing from Google to chat? Well, as their number one. What I'm talking to chat GPT, and you know that I've signed up recently, got an account, and we call each other ooze, is none of your business.

Well, I think it is. Alfred was a powerful, long-lived and erratic tropical cyclone that brought severe effects to southeast Queensland in New South Wales north. Why will we be Googling that just in case it comes?

You know, mum's love to Google the weather. They love it. Okay. So the second, under Charlie Kirk was C-O-P-D treatment was our second most Googled thing in New Zealand. Right. C-O-P-D treatment, which I don't,

I didn't know what it was. focuses on managing symptoms and preventing the condition from worsening with the most important step, being smoking cessation. So basically quitting smoking. Right. We're looking that up. That's good. Okay.

The third one was osteoporosis treatment. Very odd. Tom Phillips, All Blacks versus France. Ozzy Osborne was in there. Big death of the year. Edan, Edgain World Cup. Death searches. Gene Hackman was in there.

Hulk Hogan, Diane Keaton, Val Kilmer, David Lynch, Jane Goodall, the Monkey Lady. God, we lost some celebs this year, didn't we? People Searchers. The number one was Bell Gibson, who was their Australian influence and they did the show about Apple cider Vinegar. That was so well, that show was exceptional, wasn't it?

It's so well done. Prince Andrew was in that list. I just want to know. Jimmy Kimmel, because he got... Oh, got fired, of course. Got fired and came back. Yeah. Local moments, looking up... We just wanted to know what the weather was doing. Okay, right, yeah.

A lot of people looking up the treaty because of them trying to pretend like it didn't happen. Yeah, practical things we looked up. How to make butter. We did that on the show. How to make butter milk. How to invest money in shares. How to calculate a tax refund.

How to screenshot on MacBook. How to clear a cache on Chrome. How to soft boil an egg. And how to say happy matriki in Toreo Māori. Amazing. So that's what we've been looking up this year on Google. The Fletchbourne and Haley big pod. From the Fletch Vaughan and Haley group chat, this is the top six.

Yes, good morning. Today's top six are the top six signs that are that truckie. Maybe you've just passed them, maybe you've just seen him. Her? Because do you know, women are allowed to drive trucks now, Fleck? As if. I know. The boobies will get in the way.

I would have thought, you know, just with all the periods and stuff, it would have been, you know. We get a lot of calls, don't we, from the female truck drivers? We love our lady truckies. Oh, good morning to all of our truckies listening this morning. But particularly our females. Give us a toot-toot, actually. Give us a tut-toot. Give us a tut-toot if you're out there on the roads.

A flash, flash and a tut-toot. Well, nearly 460 commercial truck drivers have lost their licences after being caught using fraudulent documents during the license conversion process. Right. Now, some of them now, they've changed the rules. Some of them may be able to reset their driver's tests to prove that they can drive a truck.

which is good. I like people to be able to prove they can drive a truck before they're literally given right. So this makes sense. This is if you had a license in another country,

you come here and they just automatically write. Okay. Yes. Yeah, yeah. So I've got the top six signs that truckie has a fake license.

Number six on the list, they didn't flash their lights at the other truckies. Yes, that's a giveaway. Yeah. Always got to do that. It's a role. Always got to flash your lights.

And when my dad used to drive trucks, my dad has a problem, I think he's called a workaholic. Right. He used to take a holiday from working on the farm to either work as a builder or work as a truck driver?

What? That was his idea of a good time. Take time off from a job and just do another job. Do another work. Yeah, and he used to do the wave as well. There was always a flash in a wave. Oh, yeah, yeah, yep. The bus drivers love that, just a little...

Yeah, finger. Finger or two off the wheel? Yeah. That's the bugger. Number five on the list of the top six signs that truck he's got a fake license. They don't have either a howling wolf, a flying eagle, an Apache chief

or a blonde bombshell airbrushed somewhere on their truck. Oh, it has to be. Or a Confederate flag. I was going to say we'll have some sort of either Bob Marley or Confederate flag flying in the back window of the truck. Number four on the list of the top six sign that that truck has got a fake license. The shorts. No, short enough.

The balls don't stand a chance of exposure. Got to have shorty shorts if you're a truck driver. Oh, do you? I didn't know that was a thing. It is, yeah. And, you know, I'm just putting that into the conversion on the iPhone, a calculator. It's a great hack, probably the hack of the year. Hack of the year.

Convert that length of short from the male truck drivers to the female truck drivers. There's a chance of flap. Four. A labia. Yeah, there is. A major slip. Well, let's just, to all the truck is, let's just please be careful getting out of the trunk stops and the servos. We're getting close to school holidays.

We're underwear. We're not expose yourself in front of the children. At least we're underwear. Don't wear underwear. Don't listen to Fletch. He's a prude. He is a prude, actually. The man's adverse to a flap.

Yeah, number three. Yeah, he does. He goes into anaphylaptic shock. Anaphypictic. If he sees a flap, he's like, I can't breathe. Wow. Did someone put flap in this? Number three on the list of the top six signs

that the Truckee has a fake license. You see them eating, and they're eating a salad and drinking a water? Excuse you. I know, it's got to be a pie. Yeah. It's a pie and a V. Yeah. Pied and monster, yeah. Monsters?

By the way, monsters putting a red hot poker onto V, aren't they? As the Trady and Truckee adding your drink of choice. Yeah. Yeah, I'd love to see the wrap. I don't know. I'd love to see the 2025 Trady wrapped. You know, like pies, V's, red bulls, monsters. You consumed X amount of pies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six signs that Truckee's got a fake license. It doesn't know the best state highway. way rest areas for a quick one. Yeah, quick, little sleep. For quick. In the cab. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, sleep. That's all I mean.

Yeah, sleep. Definitely sleep. And number one on the list of the top six signs, that truck, he's got a fake license. When they start working for the trucking company, they ask if the fleet contains any Mahindras, because I'd love to drive one of them. What's a Mahindra? Exactly, Haley. Wow. It's not a starnia.

Yeah, because I'm a, what am I? I like a... You're a Kenworth. Am I a Kenworth? Oh, I thought I was a, I thought it was a Mercedes. Ascarnia. Oh, I'm Ascarnia. Machades. I'm a Chadis. Well, no, I mean, nothing beats the classic Mac. That is the day's top six.

The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZN's Flashhorn and Haley. It's a shame, actually, that radio's such an audio medium and you can't see us. Because the three of us, actually, all three of us, bring a real hard fashion game. Every more than. Do we? Yeah. I see you're wearing the t-shirt that Patsy repaired for you.

Yes, I am. I'm wondering also if she gave it a hot wash or I ate too much at Canton 15 last night. Oh. Yes, I think it shrunk a little. I didn't want to bring it up. It feels, it feels on you. It feels like she might have shrunk the t-shirt. More on our B. Wayo later. But I think the weight game, that's all on you. Just in a day or two? Yeah. Okay, wow. Interesting. Well, you know, Burma's love a hot wash. I'm just saying you don't hot wash, God. I don't know. We quick wash in my house. We quick wash. What's the temperature?

Medium. Oh, no. That shrinks cotton. That shrinks t-shirts. You think Patsy doesn't know this? How quick is your quick wash? I would do it. I do. A cold only. Is it 28 or 30? I'm a recent convert to a 39, which is apparently a quick wash. Well, not everybody has a washing machine that can do 39 minutes, Vaughn.

That's pretty posh. It's nice, though. 39. Yeah, it's a great amount of time. Well, I'm talking about fashion because earlier in the week we talked about the chaparelli hair tie where you get your long, long hair and you put it under your neck and you braid it and you make a tie like a business tie out of it. You need ridiculously long hair for that. And thick, long, long hair to do that.

Well, the next hair fashion moment is here, and it's called the Olson Tuck. From the Olson twins. From the Olson twins. So I was just looking up, I just think we've been fascinated with them for years. Years, right? Because they were like, yeah, child stars, full house, did all those weird movies. And then there's, we're done. Yeah, and didn't want to marry some real rich guy?

A bank, hooray. Yeah. Yep, who came from a rich shipping family, apparently. They called them a shipping magnet. Magnet. Magnet. Magnet. Yeah, magnet.

Magnate. Magnet. A shipping magnet. Yeah. So she was with the shipping magnet. She was with a shipping magnet. The other one, I can't, I don't know which one's which. One of the, and they're always holding a giant Starbucks.

Yeah, they're always so hungry. Yeah, huge sunglasses, they love a smoke. One of them, didn't want them married. Didn't want them also marry a European politician? Yes, a politician magnet. Yes. Yeah, yeah, that's them. Yeah.

They're just bizarre. I think we're just so like, what are you up to at the moment? They had that fashion brand, but they've always been at the forefront of fashion. Now, I want to bring in producer Shannon, who's out in the booth solo at the moment. and I'm supposed to say, holding it down, Shannon. Holding it down. Have you seen the Olsen tuck? Yes, and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

So the Olson tuck is when, if you have, again, long enough hair, and you have your hair down, and then you put a coat or a jumper over top, and you have it over the hair. So the hair is tucked. Fletch, if you look at me, it kind of looks like when you do this. You kind of give yourself a bob. Right. where your hair's tucked into.

And then have it like tucked into your clothes. Right. And people are obsessed with it. They're like, the Olson tuck has a hold over me. Do you know what I think it is? I think there's an era of effortlessness. It's just, I've just thrown my coat on. I don't have time to take my hair out of my tuck coat.

Yes, you're so right. I wasn't even aware it was tucked. Yeah. My thing is the moment anything's pulling on my hair, which again is so thin and again is 90% not mine. It was grown in India by another person and I glued it to my head. I like anytime it's pulling I hate the feeling of it totally

so I'm constantly flipping my hair out of the collar also I'm like this feels like the female version of a collar not down properly yes I would agree with collar are you talking about like an accidental popped collar like it's just up at the back and no one's told him and he can't feel it and it's an accident that needs to be rectified

when you see a guy with a popped collar on a coat hey ick acck act except there's something kind of cute and vampiric about it you know Vampiric. Is that a word? It is now. How very vampiric. It would come around here with your bloody posh words.

Vampiric? You mean vampire-esque? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I've read that in one of my books. Yeah, I don't know, but Olsen-Tung. It just makes me feel like, yeah, I just want my hair out of the collar. Yeah, vampiric means relating to characteristics of vampires, particularly their predatory and life-training nature.

Yeah, that's why I've been reading. Yeah. She knew that as well. Also, an update on the Olson twins. Yeah. What's their, what's their sit at the moment? They are focused on their careers as fashion designers for their luxury brand. The row, is it the row?

It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mary Kate works as a creative director while Ashley is the CEO in their personal lives. Mary Kate divorced the banker. Oh, she would have made out. Olivia Sykesi in 2021 and Mary, sorry, Ashley married a guy in 2022 and they've got a child. Sorry, what was, what was, what was, what was Mary Kate's husband's name? Olivia.

Oliver, Olivia Sikosey. Yeah, French. Olivia. That's a Mormon's name. Olivier. Uh, bonjour. It's French. It's French.

Olivier. Olivier. Olivier with an R. They're just fascinating beings, aren't they? Well, yeah, that's the new fashion trend is basically ramming your hair down your collar and calling it the Austin Talk. The Z-N-Cast Network. Well, it is so silly, silly, silly that a silly little poe, silly little poe, silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Well, today's silly little poller, do you eat your burgers or your fries first if you're getting into some takeaways?

I didn't know this was a divisive question, and I've never really thought about it, but I always go burger first because I want that warm. I want that warm and hot. and eat it straight away. Interesting. I don't do fries first. I would go to fry first. This was a debate in Michael's house. He messaged me on the grand.

He said we had an argument in our household. We thought it might make a good solit little pole. Do you eat your burgers before, after or during your burning? Oh, I love this. I love this poll idea. And what a great way for us to do less work if listeners come up with the poll. 9-6-96, your soliloid poll ideas. Oh, that's a great idea.

Let's get a bank of them going. I reckon just we should just do a show. 966, what do you want us to talk about next? You know what I mean? Yeah, and then we finish that and we go, okay, 966, what next? The people show, yeah. The people show.

Yeah. Maybe we'll do that before the end of the year on a day where we were tired or maybe went out the night before. And we're hung over like today. Unlike today. I was going to say that kind of today's fit in the bill there. Yeah, unlike today. Well, we asked when eating a burger and fries,

which do you eat first, the options were burger first or fries first and 62% of people eat the fries first. Yeah, because they're worse when they're colder than a cold burger. Yes, but I don't, I mean, I don't always eat all the fries. I don't want to fill myself up on the fries and then have burger left over. Fries are wasted gut space for sure. Wasted guts space. Well, I just mean like if you're going to fill up your gut, you want it filled with delicious burger over potatoes.

Yeah. I'm not calling it wasted gut space. I'm actually on Uber Eats. It's not Cous Cous. It's not Cous Cous. No, yeah, Cousis is wasted gut space for sure. I'm on Uber Eats and I could absolutely

fang a burger right now. Right, okay, well. Fing it. Well, let's see what the people had to say after fries came out on top to be eaten first. Rebecca said a cold burger bothers me more than cold fries.

So just in case, burger first. I'm on Rebecca's side. I'm gobsmacked by these results. People are more... Just more evidence. People are morons. Oh, hey, hey. Morons.

I actually am the... I love a cold burger if you're doing homemade burgers and there's one left over. I love honing the cold burgers in the fridge the next day. Absolutely not. Yeah. No. Rebecca said, where was my option for both at the same time?

I always cram my chips inside my burger. Oh yeah, people I've seen people do this. They open it up. Yeah, no, it's not for me. I can't be bothered. Best for last. Also, fries get cold quicker, so best to eat them first while they're hot and they're fresh. That's my hot take as well.

Yeah, it's a popular one. Megan said put a half way stop in my burger to eat the chips Oh so we're going Burr Fries gore

Yeah Yeah But fries go Yeah Is one of the options there Um The fries get cold to cook So you've got to eat

Them first seed coffee Matt said It's like preloading Before the clubs The burgers The messy hookup You take home And the fries

Have to lead you there It's a weird one man I don't know Why he went there It's a weird one man We're actually getting quite a lot of text on the text machine right now. People, a lot of people putting their fries in the burger. Okay.

I don't realize it was that popular. Yeah, okay. I'll go burger first. I don't want to fill up on fries and then they're not managed the burger, said Laura. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to need a bit of extra sauce on my burger if I'm adding fries, though, because that's going to make it very dry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good, we're up. Also, if it's a cheesy bee, some fries have got to go inside that burger, says Sonia. Okay. Logan said, eat the burger over the fries and let it. the sauces drip out of the burger on to the fries. God, like making a loaded sauce fries. That's a lot of yeah. That's good idea. Loaded fries.

Fries need to line my stomach before I enjoy that meaty, sweaty, cheesy goodness that my body craves so much. Yeah. Says Mason. So for still a little poll today, we said you, hey guys, when you're reading a burger and fries which one you eat first and 62% of you will go fries first. The ZDN podcast network.

Fletcher and I went out on a school night, didn't we? We did. We did. We went to a B.YO with a portion of our sort of wider group of friends. Yes. Just to have a little pre-Christmas toast to a great year.

That's why I didn't go. I'm not going to lie. No, we did. We went to one of Auckland's most infamous B.Y.O's canton cafe. Love it. We love the canton. Is it still really loud because of how hard the walls are?

Yeah, man. We were screaming to hear each other. It's sort of part of the charm of it all I did regale, you know, I was telling everyone the story of Vaughan when I came in hot and told a TV exec what I really thought and then our show got cancelled.

Yeah. But we were there and then Vaughney last time we were there with this wider group right, we always say, Daddy, please take control and just order for the table. Vaughn just orders for the table. You're so good at it. It's a skill I didn't know I had

I just kind of stabbled across it once and people were like that was kind and the gaggle particularly find it particularly hot when I take control of the table and kind of just like say what we're getting yeah but yeah I didn't even know I could do it

I just did it and then now it kind of happens every time yeah it's hard when you go out for a dinner with a large group because everyone's like well do we want this or who's does some and it's just staggering one person just needs to grab it and run with it

I like when this happens yeah so yesterday We're looking around, and we're sort of looking at the characters around this table. There's no obvious Daddy Vaughn. Like, you're not there. A lot of the sort of strong personalities aren't there. So I was like, what's going to happen? Fletch grabs the menu.

Graves the little piece of paper they left us and the pen. I think also because it's way past my dinner time and it's so hungry. Nearly my bedtime. And I'm like, we're ordering some food now. He's hungry. He grabs it. And I was like, oh my God, look at him guy. Like, look at our baby bird flower.

Right? Yeah. Yeah. So he grabs the menu and the little piece paper. Oh, there's a fire truck outside and it's got the lights are on. Oh, we have a little look if we've got any nice little men in there. I don't get to see. I'm broadcasting from home.

Show me. Turn the camera. Turn to rip the camera off the wall and turn it. Well, we can't see if they're hot yet. What if we have to evacuate? Help. Help. Sorry, anyway, carry on.

Oh, hang on. No, I can't see. No, it can't see. They can't see. They're flag. They were flag. If you have to evacuate, just leave my microphone on and I'll kind of like, live commentate as the flames engulfed the studio.

Yeah, no, because you're in the safety of your own home. Fire alarm's not on, so I think we're okay. Okay. No evacuation. Okay, so Fletch assumes the role of daddy. And we're stoked, right? So he starts ticking in, let's do this, do this, do this. And I was sort of, I was gently supporting him the side.

You were helping me. It was you and me. Yeah, I was, don't drink me into this. No, this is, no, this is, no, you can't have an assistant in this. You've just got to, like, consult the table on a hole and then hammer it. That's right. That's right. Distanced herself from me after what happened.

He goes, okay, he was like, oh, the first thing, first he goes, we've got to get a lemon chicken on there. So lemon chickens are. And we go, obviously, we're getting a sweet and sour pork. Obviously, we're getting duck pancakes. So we start running this out. Also, I wrote down seven spring rolls because it was seven of us. And thank God they came back to check because they nearly gave us seven times five. Each portion had five.

35 spring rolls. I nearly 35 spring rolls. I nearly ordered 35 spring rolls, which I wouldn't have been mad about. I would have eaten a good... But they're also a decent-sized spring roll. Yeah, they're fatties. Yeah, they're fatties.

Fatties. So he's doing all this, and then he starts going to me with a lemon chicken, maybe we should get two. And I was like, well, as you wish. So at two of those. Sweets are pork. Well, maybe we should get two of those.

Oh, no, no, no, no. What are we doing here? What are we playing at? What we end up ordering is nearly 35 spring rolls. Nearly 35 spring rolls, duck pancakes and eight other full dishes. And there's only seven of us. Yeah, look, I didn't really think. I didn't really crunch the numbers.

And then it's that moment where the food starts coming and we're stoked. And then it just doesn't stop coming. It doesn't stop. It doesn't stop. And then we start laughing. And then eventually everyone fills up. And I'd say there's still over 50%. We got three takeaway containers.

Four takeaway containers. We did one for you, Vaughn, and then we remembered you're from home today. I am not even, I'm more puppet in a work fridge. I can eat that Monday. Dr. Shawnee and his husband, Jared, took the leftovers. So we've got to make sure that when we divvy up last night's meal, because I paid. They, I reckon, put a bit of extra on them.

Yeah, but they said to me. They've taken the left, they've basically taken three dishes. They said, we're divvying this up seven ways. And I said, wow. No, you're technically getting two meals. I think they're getting extra meals so they can pay a little bit more. Don't force us to take the leftovers and then double charge us. The ZM Podcast Network.

Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Well, this happened on Tuesday in Brittermart. Yes, Jess Tyson from Māori TV was reporting for Tiaw with Moana. Live on camera, mic in hand when this happened. Yeah. Boof? Oh, shit. Yeah.

Oh. You're right? Yeah. Oh my God. My eyes. Smacked in the head by a giant seagull. A massive seagull, just absolutely fwacked her in the head. Jess is on the phone with us this morning.

Good morning, Jess. Morning, guys. Nice to talk to you. Lovely to talk to you, too. Wow. Now, this video is obviously and rightfully going via. because you're just doing your job. You're out there.

You were down the bottom of outside commercial bay in Brooklyn. Yeah. And reporting. And then suddenly, what, like, what is your experience of this moment of feeling a whack to the face? Well, I was just trying to concentrate and get my PTC right, you know. Of course. That's piece to camera for the layman. Okay, yeah.

Listening. That's a pest camera. Yeah, and then the bird. just came just, I don't know, out of nowhere. And the hardest part, I mean, the worst part is it felt like a pillow was being smashed into my face. Oh, I guess so maybe soft, was it quite soft? Like a down pillow.

No, no, no, like a hard pillow. Oh, right, okay. Yeah. A pillow with a beak and some bones inside. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And did you, Jess, immediately know what had happened? Or were you like, what?

Yeah, that's when I think I said. I was like, oh my gosh, it was just so random. Because I googled the average weight of a average seagull, and like it's about 1.5Ks. Yeah, they're not light when they're flying at you at that speed. Because, yeah, it was also, it was very windy. I was watching it again, sorry, yes. And it was also just like flying at you at quite a rate.

You can see on the video right how windy it is because you've got your hair down and it is like blowing a gale. Yeah. And then what made you bleed? Because I'm just looking at afterwards, if you go on Jess's Instagram, like it kind of hits you the neck and face. Like what bit bled you? I'm not sure.

Honestly, I keep trying to look. Like, I feel like it could have been like a core or a beak. But it's only one centimeter from my eyeball too. Oh, wow. So you're very lucky. I know. Yeah. It could have been much worse.

Right. And what's it like? Like, now this video's gone viral. Have you heard from people you haven't heard from for a while? Oh, yeah. I would say a lot of people have commented. There's hundreds of comments. I mean, I'm just looking on your Instagram on the video you shared.

Stan Walker's chimed in. Oh, hell no. Morgan Penn sexologist is chimed in. Yeah. Millie Alder Holmes is in there. I mean, are you seeing the funny side? Absolutely. I mean, you can't not because it's.

It's funny, isn't it? Crackup. It's actually really funny. Yeah, it's very funny. We love clips of things happening to news reporters because we're so serious and, you know, they're often giving us some terrible news and then, you know, a little light relief like a bird smashing into someone's funny. It's nice. It's good.

Yeah. Well, thank you for providing us with some comic relief this week. How are you healing? Oh, it's fine. Yeah, I've got a little scar, but you can hardly see it. Great story. Great story. Oh, my God.

Jesus, how did you get that little scrap? It's above your eye. I'll show you. I'll show you. Well, yeah. People won't believe me. Like, when it, after it happened, I was like, guess what I got hit by a seagull today? And they just, I just, well, I've got the evidence too.

And then I play video. I know. It's so great that you were being filmed. I know, because normally that would happen to people, and they don't have the video. I know. And then you can't believe them. Have you reached out to the bird? No, but the bird was happy afterwards. They went back to their mates and kept going on doing.

good thing. Because they would have gone home and said you won't believe what happened today. Just out for a fly. Yeah. Wind picked up. Yep. Hit this girl in the face. Man, it was a laughing. Guess what? Best bit? It was being filmed. Oh, amazing. Oh, well, thank you for

being a good sport in and talking about it. Yeah. Thank you. Can I just ask final question, Jess, did you finish? Because on the video, you've done your piece to camera and then you were going to do a redo. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I went back and did it.

Oh, what a pride. Absolute professional. What a pro. Yeah. I had to do a couple more. What was this? What were you reporting on? I don't think I saw that in the clip.

It was about sustained, like fast fashion and impacts on our environment and economic industry. Right. And that bird just had opinions. Yeah. It was just like, not today. Well, we don't know that H&M didn't release that page. Yeah, I was going to say, her lion's bird.

She and Bird. She and Bird. camera chaffednessy. Yeah, maybe. Taking you out. Jess, Tyson, thank you so much for talking to us this morning. Play Z-Ns, Flesh, Morning, Haley. Yesterday, you can't fight it, can you? Yesterday, you can't fight the moonlight as a famous poet once said.

Want to know right now, give us a little texting, 9-6-96, or a call, 0-800 Z-M, if you are one of those people that don't go by your real name. because someone shared on the Tok Talk

that they'd sent out some save the dates for a wedding and all of their siblings and family and closest friends were like, who the hell is James? Yeah. And then they were like, what do you mean? Who's this James character? Hey, you've got a typo on your wedding invite. Yeah, yeah, I thought, where's Eric?

Yeah. And the bride's like, you don't know that Eric's name is actually James? No, news to us. And his whole life, he's gone by Eric, Eric, Eric, Eric, Eric, his name's actually James. And on the, obviously, a formal invitation that's gone, we request Sabrina the delight of your company. Would that be, because, like, when the celebrant has to do all the paperwork? Yeah, you have to say the full legal name.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, okay, so. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm the celebrant of the show. You are. I've let my license lapse, though. Okay. So if anyone's planning on getting married, I'm unavailable.

is it hard to get back I don't know and I'm not going to it was too stressful yeah and you have one of those plastic clear file folders and it just looked quite trash yeah I ruined my friend's wedding

because I had a yeah just a warehouse stationary plastic you know sort of slip sleeve which is great for filing stuff at home but not at someone's wedding I'd like a leather bound kind of you know yeah my friend did hit me up

he was like you don't have something leatherette and I was like now that you're not Now that you're not officiating weddings, what are you going to do with all the, your free time? So much free time. I know, especially on weekends where weddings often occur. I know. I guess I'll just sit back, relax and enjoy.

But anyway, everyone was very, very confused by this. But I know, I know people that have done this, they just prefer, they just don't like their first name and they prefer their middle name or maybe a nickname. Yeah. Or they just pluck any name out of the ear and then just use that. So a lot of... Getting some messages through already.

You know Creaky Galleon, Louise? Yeah. You know, that's not her name. What's her actual first name? Alspeth. Elizabeth. Elspeth. No, yeah, Creaky galleon's not her name, but Louise isn't her name.

Alspeth. She just messaged in Creaky Gellian Alspeth. That doesn't work, does it? No, it doesn't. Yeah, Alspeth is the Scottish form of Elizabeth. That's her real name. Yeah, right. And her sister is called Elizabeth.

Yeah. That's wild. Well, we want to know what name you go by, what your actual name is, and why you... And why you chose not to go with your real name. Maybe you just didn't like it. Maybe it didn't roll off the tongue. Or maybe there was a bigger reason behind it. Do you not go by your real name?

Because some invites, some wedding invites have thrown a family who are like, who the hell is James? Yeah. Where's Eric? And they're like, James is Eric's name? Kaz joins is Kaz, not your real name? Uh, no, no, it's just not. What's your name? For obvious reason I changed it is Karen. Oh, and did you change it, like, in the last wee while when going Karen became a thing?

100%. I've always been hit to name Caz, but the whole Karen thing just kind of screwed it up. Yeah, yeah. So you've gone official Caz? Yep, I have. What, so you're, like, paid to change it, or just everything you say is Caz? Everything, no, I didn't pay to change it. I just everything I say is Kaz.

Okay, so, yeah, your birth certificate is your secret shame. Wait, your mother apologized. She apologized to me, and I just said, Mom, how are you to know in 1978 that my name was going to get screwed up by the world? No, you didn't know, you didn't know. By the world? Oh, that's so true.

Unbelievable. He's got rocking and say something problematic, you know. Rachel, who is it that doesn't go by their name? Well, my husband's middle name is William, and all his friends and family have always called him Willie, and his brother is Richard, and he is always referred to as Dick.

Dick and Willie. And then, your baby brother, balls. It's very, like, British, isn't it? Like, to have a, okay, William and Dick are coming over. Yes, hello, Dick. How are you? Rather William than Willie. Yeah, yeah.

Willie's not great. You go Will, right? Or just Will, right? Yeah, it would be way better. It would be. Rachel, thank you. Some messages in. I love to Willie and Dick.

Someone said my name being R-I-N-U-S. R-I-N-U-S. R-N-U-S? Like sinus? Yeah, that's a spout like sinus. Is it like South African or something? You went to a school with a venus. I grew up with a rhinus. Yeah.

Rionis. So I got given Yogi by my brother for being a little bit chubby when I was young. So everybody just calls me Yogi. And then when they find out my real name's Rhinis, I mean, those are two out of the box names. Yeah, yeah. Like you obviously know their name's not Yogi. Yeah. Okay.

Laura Rose is my real name, but I just go by Rosie. Oh, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, it's nice. My ex's name was Colin But everybody called him Jay Because when he was young as dad Just started calling him Jay and it stuck Right

My name is Vershan Oh, that's quite a posh sounding name Yeah, that's a nice name But I'm imagining Vershan Which is more of a treat on the than Vaughan, V-A-U-G-H-A-N, V-E-A-U-S-H-A-N. So what do they go by? They go by V.

If I get called my real name, I'm like, oh, I'm in trouble. My nan has risen from the greys. Yes. Keep your text coming in, 9-6-9-6-0-800-N. Do you not go by your real name? I want to know right now if you don't go by your real name and why. Shavon, good morning. Good morning.

Now, who, is it you that's, your name's not, Chivorne? Yeah, I go by Chiborne, but 12 years ago, my now husband came to my 21st, and he's a little bit dyslexic, and wanted to know why everybody was writing Sebastian in my 21 card that I had out. They weren't, they were writing Savorn. Oh, because you've got the, the Gaelic spelling, right, Sireban. I do, yes. yet. So 12 years later it still starts in all-loughing group

still called me Sebastian. So you're just Sebastian? And when my husband calls me Shevorn, I feel like I'm in trouble because I'm so used to Sebastian now. I love that. They don't call you Seb, it's just Sebastian. It's the whole word. Just Sebastian, the whole thing.

Wow, I love that. And are people just like, what? So good. Well, Sebastian, thank you very much for calling. Have a great weekend. some messages in. Another Chavonne said, my daughter's name is Chavon, and whenever she orders anything like a coffee, she uses her sister's name, Jade.

Is she sick of having them, having to correct them, or being called Sioban. Yes, Sayoban. Yeah. That's why. I just use Smith for whenever I order anything now. I use Cassidy,

because I think it makes me more interesting than all the other Haley. Haley, too many Haley's. Plain 80s born. Name please? Cassidy. My legal name is Sidney Keegan, but I'm only known as Keegan. My dad's name is also Sydney Jared, but just goes by Jared.

It's one of those... Sydney Keegan. It's one of those... Generational names, but everybody goes... But there's a few, isn't there a few cultures that do that, eh? Everybody's got the first... You get the first name... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

My daughter is Charlie, and everyone seems shock when they found out that her name is Charlotte, which I thought was the normal. You call people Charlie if they're named Charlotte. I haven't heard that. I love... We had a text from an Annalise, but people constantly bring up that that the word anal is in it.

Oh, yeah. So I just go by Lissy or Lesse or Lesbans as well. I might just change my name. Yeah. My Uncle Eugene changed his name to Blue, legally. Blue. It was a nickname.

Everyone called him Blue. No one ever called him Eugene. So he just changed it. Blue's cool. Yeah. Bluey? But now there's Bluey. Now there's Bluey.

Well, you got all this merchandise with your name on it, I suppose. That's going to be a positive. My name is Elliot I go by Pony No one who calls me Elliot We're going to need to know why Why that is Elliot

A lot of people texting in Fletch This is literally you I would literally never call you Carl No you never do But that's my last name So it's not like it's a wild jump No but even Like it's not just a radio persona

It's no one would I know but it is weird You're not out with your mates in the weekend They're like Carl Carl I'd be like Who? Who's that? that? Who is this? Who knows me

from long ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in trouble. The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Fleshhorn and Haley. Well, I'm so excited to have Lincoln Park in the country. I'm very excited to have Dave Ferrell, the bassist from Lincoln Park, joining us. Dave, how you doing?

Doing well, how's it going? Really good, really good. I was trying to remember the last time, and I don't know if you can remember, the last time you came to New Zealand with Lincoln Park. I would, I think it was 13 years ago. Did Linger Park do a big day out in Auckland? I'm going to go with maybe.

Dave, I can't even remember what happened last week. Yeah, that was totally. Very excited because you guys are coming back and we don't even have to wait long March next year in New Zealand. I know. I know. We're so excited. And for me, I have been back to New Zealand a ton of times since then with my family. Oh, wow.

Never to play music, but just to enjoy ourselves. And so to be a comeback in play is really exciting. So lots of fun memories in New Zealand then? Yeah. Our oldest wanted to go skydiving for her birthday. Legally skydive in New Zealand. So we're just like, let's go check out, you know, the South Island and jump out of a plane while we're there.

Do we have a lowest skydiving kid's age? I think you guys will allow like a six-year-old or five-year-old to go skydiving. You should look that up. It's funny. I'm going to gogling. Fair enough. Not by themselves, though. I don't need you, like, yeah, we weren't like fact-checking Lincoln Park Facts.

We're going to check sky, like, fact-checked skydiving fest. Okay, hang on. In New Zealand, the minimum age for skydiving is six with perennial consent. What that? How old was your oldest when they wanted to go skydiving? She was 17, and our youngest at that point was maybe 10. So we were kind of like, do you want to go? And she was like, heck yeah.

So it turned into a family thing, and that was, you know, we couldn't, she couldn't legally jump out of an airplane in the U.S. So. Yeah, because I'm just reading here, like, California is 18. Yeah. And the real reason was I was looking for an excuse because I've always loved New Zealand to get the whole family there. And so I'm like, oh, that popped up with that. So I'm like, great. Let's make, let's do that.

They all loved it enough that we've, we've been able to go back a couple times since. And that's become, like, a really special spot for my whole family. That wrong. Where about did you go? over in the South Island. Was it over like Queenstown? Yeah, we were really close to Queenstown, which was beautiful. Oh, yeah. So to be able to do it there, really special for us. But we've been all over, well, actually probably more around the South Island than

the north. The north we've kind of just explored Auckland a bit and then a bit up the north coast, like to kind of up into the Mangauai area. So does that mean the family, when you say that you're coming to Tour Australia and New Zealand family want to come? Oh, yeah. It's still a little bit far out for us to know for sure. but it's a very easy sell. I don't know what we did either right or wrong, but my kids will be like, no, I need to be at school. When it comes to New Zealand, though, yeah.

When it comes to New Zealand, they're like, yeah, we're good. We'll go hang out there at any time. Yeah. I love that. So I feel like Vaughn and I have particularly worked in radio as long as you guys have been a band. And I know, for a fact, New Zealand loves Lincoln Park. And they loved you so much that when new music came out last year,

it went to album, went to number one. And so I know a lot of people are going to be very excited about your concert next year. What can they expect? There's obviously the new stuff and the old stuff. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely, you know, we're in our proper headline show that we have been doing over the, you know, all over the world. And so I think sometimes, like, it's tough to get the proper staging, lighting, everything into Australia or New Zealand. It's just, I'm excited that we're bringing the full. the full production. New Zealand

is not getting like the stripped down half version of it. We're doing the proper show. Yes. And it is yeah, yeah. So that's fun. And it's more fun for us too. Like we want you guys to see us in our best possible situation. So

and having said that, like the set is like it's over two hours. There's new material but obviously with that there's a ton that we're putting off the old stuff. Like we definitely enjoy the playing. everything from all different albums I log. So it's been a really special

year and a half just doing that and it's fun to have that coming to close. I think we're really excited to be in a space to start working on some new stuff and see what that kind of looks like, feels like, sounds like. But at the same time it's going to be great to be able to kind of be winding down this touring cycle in New Zealand.

I feel like New Zealand always gets to the last or the first show of any tour. Normally, it's the last, and then they pop back home to America. So you always get this kind of extra energy. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. It makes sense. Or they finish in New Zealand,

then take two weeks to go and throw their children out of airplanes in the South Island. Yeah, it's another strong possibility. I highly recommend it. Absolutely. Well, we can't wait, man. Thanks so much to the chat today. And Lincoln Parker are back on New Zealand Shores very soon.

Yeah, a big thank you to you guys for supporting us and we're excited to be back there and really, really excited to play for all of our Kiwi fans. Oh mate, we cannot wait. The ZM Podcast Network

Play ZM's Flethorn and Haley. It was all over social media yesterday, wasn't it? Everyone's sharing their Spotify rapped for the year. Some odd things we were just discussing everyone was chatting about

Well, I didn't actually get to choose. It was forced upon me. It was forced upon everybody, yeah. Yeah, well, it was a lovely function, but beforehand I wanted to get hyped up for it, you know. And so I had this album going.

It's actually a really good album, the composer. He also did the Grand Designs thing. Did he? So, he's done lots. Yeah. Yeah, right. Today, I'm in Manchester checking out this renovated caravan. But that doesn't explain, Bryn,

that this is your number one album for the year. I have no idea. But you must listen to this a lot. Okay, look, there may have been one or two occasions in the car on the way to work. Right. You're up for reading our news, you reckon. Yeah, well, I have to some days.

Yeah, right. Cured a good morning. But it's a real, like, dance song. This isn't like your average news theme, is it? Yeah, maybe we could. make a dance news theme for you next year. Would you get in the studio. Yeah, if you guys can get in the studio.

Could we just use this one? Well, hey, but I reckon we need to josh it up a bit. Oh, whoa! I know. A little drum hit. Do you know, last year my number one artist was Han Zimmer. Nice. That's nice. That's understandable, man.

That's a good listen. I know, because I don't know if you guys have listened to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack on the I have, for the whole year. It's amazing It's great It doesn't pop in the same way We should look into a new intro for you Because it sounds like you really like something a bit more orchestral

Yeah So a lot of people are saying though That their Spotify wrapped this year was a bit skewer If someone just texted and we had the Wiggles as our third top album But we don't even have any kids It was a weird year in music for me Because on New Year's Day You know how you could like deep dive and figure out

what you're doing. I was actually listening to a very horny Sabrina Carpenter album. Oh, were you? And then I went into my gospel in worship phase. Well, you need to cleanse yourself of your same. Like your hill songs. So disgusted that you're impure thoughts. Yeah. Well, that's a bop

man, that's a churn. It is. Bryn Radicanan News ready. Thank you so much. Play that ends. Fleshhorn and Haley. Fact of the day, day, day, day. I doodoo do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Well it's been vandalism week here at fact of the day

We've been looking into facts about vandalism, some homegrown ones Why it's called vandalism is if you missed Mondays Vandalism is called vandalism because of the vandals, a German tribe that was blamed for the sacking of Rome at the fall of the Roman Empire. And they wore sandals, vandals and sandals. Vandals and sandals, yeah. But not in jandals.

Not in jandals. They came in much later in life, didn't they? Yes. Yeah, they did. Today I want to talk about accidental vandalism. Accidental acts that do count as vandalism. And I want to talk firstly about cleaners who work at museums. Oh!

Do you remember that famous painting where they tried to... Put eyes on the faceless? No, they remember they were trying to clean it and it just made it look worse and then they tried to fix it. Oh, good. So that is one of them. Yep, that is the elderly woman who said she could fix the church fresco, a painting of Jesus. It was from the early 19th century. It was dirty and someone tried to clean it and did a terrible job.

And she's like, I'm actually a little bit of a painter. Oh, my God, that's fine. Oh, my God. Here's the situation, though. When that was hung back up, more people came to see the ruined, what they described as furry-faced monkey Jesus. Ferry-faced monkey Jesus is so good, eh? So funny. Way more people came to see.

see it then than it's been to see it for decades and decades and decades before. Wow. Okay. You know, it was a little bit different. Cleaners, though. There's a story of a cleaner that came across a dirty bucket in a museum and was just like it's got paints splated throughout it.

It must be from some painting that's going on or something that's happened in here. Picked it up, took it out, cleaned the bucket and then got rid of the bucket. Turns out that was an artwork. That was an experimental art installation. Sometimes it is hard to tell, though, literally. like piles of trash or a salitate banana to the wall, you know?

Yeah, yeah. Do you know how much that value of that experimental art was put it at $1 million? Oh, God, wow. Okay. With some paint in it. Another one, there was in a German museum, a cleaner found a rubber tub with a film of water on it, and the water, and that was the entire artwork, but the cleaner cleaned up all the spilled water and again cleaned the rubber tub that it was in.

Not as much, though. That was valued at about 10,000 years. Los than that. Not checked though. Okay. And in Italian museums, they've actually got don't vacuum the art signs in the, like, cleaning parts and the cleaners cupboards and stuff because there was like various piles of debris around, like they might have excavated an old column or something found that were thousands of years old and they'd decorate around it and they'd give that a vacuum because it was a bit dusty. We want that dust. That's ancient dust.

Yeah, yeah. So they've installed it due to it being a problem. Tripping over and causing vandalisms, the other big one. In 2006, a man was in the Met, and he tripped and fell through Picasso's Lerafe, punched a six-inch hole in it with his elbow, and it had just been sold for $139 million. Wow, and now you have to buy it, I guess.

Yeah. That man tripped, though. A 12-year-old Taiwanese visitor punched a hole in a 350-year-old, polo porpoora artwork which was 200,000 pounds damage even though apparently they said accidents happen at the time.

I mean, well they do. Insurance is there for a reason but yeah it's a little slice of history. So today's fact of the day is vandalism is also when you just like aren't very clever and you're like tripp and fall and wreck things. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do do do do do do do do do do do do.

The ZM Podcast Network Play ZM's Fleth Fawnin and Haley. Last night, the evening was wrapping up. Fletch and I went to a BYO with friends afterwards, popped across the road for a couple of quiet midwink drinkie-pooze. And certainly haven't regretted that. this morning, have we, Haley? Not once.

Not once. Anyway, this was after Fletch quite wisely took himself home. He's a clever boy, eh? Yeah. He's a little bit of foresight. I think if I hadn't have gone home, there would have been some memory loss

at that stage. Yeah, because... It was a perfect time to dip home. I had just completed at, I'll say, 11pm, my second espresso martini. Wow, that's not a smart decision. That's a wake-up drink. And suddenly, this waiter is walking towards

our table of friends with a line-up of shots. Okay. And I'm thinking which one of the gaggles, bloody gone and done this, we were just all agreeing, actually, the night was over. Yes. Time to get in the Uber's. And the shots come down and we were like,

sorry what's happening. And the waiter said to our friend Jared, these have been sent to you from a woman over at that table. Oh, hon. Now, I'll say, That bitch needs to back right up because I've got dibs on Jared if his marriage falls apart. Yeah, well, Vaughan, you've got more of a shot with Jared than she does

because Jared's husband, Dr. Shawnee, was also at the table. Gotcha. That is so ballsy. I could never do that. I loved it. I could never. So these shots arrive and we're looking around and I look over it and I see a very, like, beautiful, attractive young woman

and she's looking all giggly and shy. And listen to, please know, Alfred Gerard. is so attractive. He's a very, very sexy man. I can see why she did it. She shot a shot. The only reason the shot missed is because he is gay

and married to a man. Anyway, I ended up going over. Did you? Yeah, yeah, because I was like, I love this. I love how bold it was and I went over to her. And I said, good on you, girl.

And I said, unfortunately, that man with his back to us there, dark skin, bright eyes, is Dr. Shawnee, his husband. And she was like, no. Oh my God, no. It's fine. Did she ask for a refund?

No, she actually brought us another round of shots and that's why this morning's been such a struggle. Wait a minute, this woman sounds like a financial, you know. She sounds fine. She sounds like a catch. I want to go out with her one night. They were great. Her whole table was a lot of fun.

Actually, we ended up sort of just hanging out with them. Oh, right. Yeah, well, because I was chatting to them. And then Jared came over and gave her a hug and was like, thanks for the drinks and she was so mortified. And then Jared's husband, Dr. Shawnee came over and was like, I'm the husband. That's so good.

But I just love, I love when people do this. Shoot your shot. Why not? Life's too short. I've had a few shots fired this year. Yeah. And when they, when they come off, it's great because if you didn't, if you don't ask, you don't know. Yeah, if you don't ask, you don't know.

I want to know from our listeners, give us a text or a call, when did you shoot your shot? And did it, did it hit or miss? And how bold did you go as well? Yes. Okay, well, 0800 dials at Emerson number. text through 9-6-96-9-6. Yeah, what was the outcome? Was it good or bad?

When did you shoot your shot and did you hit or miss? Beautiful woman shot who shot at our friend, Jared. Problem was we were at the table with Jared and his husband, you know? But good on her. Yeah, I mean, you don't know us? She literally shot her shot with a tray of shots. Exactly. And so many people messaging in.

There's so many. They've taken their shot and it's worked out for you, Tyler. Yes, it has. So who, what happened? How did you shoot your shot? Well, it actually wasn't me shooting the shot. It was my wife shooting the shot. And it was back on my 18th birthday

because we'd actually, we'd been fairly close friends up until that point. But my birthday was a sleepover with a bunch of friends and she was the only girl there. But we were watching a movie or something, so she was cuddled up on my lap. And she whispered in my ear that she really, really liked me

and really wanted to be with me. And I turned my head and I whispered back in her ear that I really appreciated it but I wasn't actually looking for a girlfriend right now and shot her down. What? Yeah, and then later on,

since she was the only girl, she slept in my room on the other end of the house and all of us always slept in the lounge. And at some point in the night because my bedroom is attached to my parents' room, my mum came in and woke me up and she went, hey, is Terriana in the other room okay?

It kind of sounds like she's crying. So, yeah, that was horrible and I regret it still to this day but the highlight of that is that two years later she asked again and I said yes because I'd been too scared. She reloaded. Yep. And we're going to be celebrating our second year marriage anniversary. Oh, that's lovely. It all worked

out. Oh, sweetheart. Sometimes these guys just need to come on. Look, look. Look what's right in front of you. Tyler. I mean, you got there eventually. Good on her for persisting, actually, and being like, Oh, this is the man I want. Yeah. Yeah, she really manifested it. She really did.

Tyler, thank you. Tash, when did you shoot your shot? Hey, guys. So I was going out for morning coffee with the crew at work. And he was down to our local coffee shop. Yeah. And there was a cricket game on in town. I think it was English versus some form of the New Zealand team.

And I was like, oh, that guy's kind of cute. I think he's an English cricket player. And one of the girls was like, give him. him your number and I was like no no she's like Joe what I was okay okay got a business card wrote down call me went over just said call me chucked this card literally at this guy ran out the coffee shop got back and I was telling the story to one of the woman in the office and she said okay let's find out who he was and I said the guy's name I thought it was she's like I thought that's not what he looks like I was like who the hell did I just give my card to

some random dude kept looking so and I was like okay and then later on in the day got a text from this number saying, hey, good on your bravery, liked your smile, and do you want to come to the game? And then I'm like, who the fuck is this guy? Who is my language? And then we managed to find out who it was, and I won't say their name because they have been a well-known black cat. And so then ended up getting tackets, range tackets,

this guy left me tackets and crew of the work page. So we went down there. then it leads to you want to come and have drinks with us and then I was like, well, a little bit of research found out actually had a girlfriend now and gay married him with kids. Nauty. It was the wrong guy I thought it was going after, but I've got to get brought a yarn to you guys about years later.

Yeah, good yarn. That's so funny. Well, you know, when you're on tour, you're in a different city, right? There's different rules. I don't think that's the rule. I don't think there's all sorts of arrangements these days, you know. Thank you so much. So many messages coming in.

People shooting their shot. We'll get to the rest of those next. These are so good. The message is coming in. Insane. So we want to know when you took a shot, you shot, maybe someone quite hotter than you.

And it's paid off. Georgia, who has Friday jams for you in just a few minutes, a lot of people took their shot when you worked at Lone Star. Did they? I wasn't even in my prime. I reckon my prime's the last couple of years, so this is great. But yeah, no, you used to get it all the time

because we'd write, like, thank you so much on the receipt, and then you'd go Georgia and you'd just be a little bit like, like, mm-hmm, kind of vibe. And then what they'd do is they'd write on the back their number and you'd just be like, well, I obviously know what you look like and some of you were mingin, and you didn't get a reply.

Some of them would. Oh, Georgia. Some of them would. Loan star mingers. But do you know what? It was one of them wrote me a love letter. Oh, really? Okay.

Bit far. But they took this shot. Like that's the thing if you don't ask, you don't know. Yeah, exactly. I'll some messages in. I shot my shot with a stripper. It took me eight months, but I made it, and now we've been together two in a bit years.

Oh, wow. I'm in love with the stripper. She whined and that pole and she grind. Oh, I got the lyrics on there. I thought she was whining and dining. I don't know. I said grinding and winding and one verse and then grinding and something else in the mother.

Up on that pole. Up on that pole. I'm just pulling up the I'm in love with the stripper lyrics for you. We're just going to clarify this, how it went down, really. Oh, we're going to stop. We're going to stop down and have a clarification. She climb in that pole and I'm in love with a stripper. She tripping.

She's playing. She playing. No, not a G in sight there. Not a G in sight, no. They've dropped the Gs from most of the words. She's playing. That's actually beautiful, Fletch, to hear you read it like that. Thank you.

Pretty hell was meant to be delivered. Oh, shit. She really moved me for, yeah. Oh, shit. You know, you got them big ass hips, God damn. Oh, yes. This could be written about me. Has she been whined or dined?

Yeah, or no. I'm not seeing any whining or dining. Is there any further objectification of female lyrics that you can read from that? The whole thing. It was a wild time. It was a different time, eh, when you think about back to those early, early mid-2000s. Yeah, she coming down from the ceiling. Uh-oh.

Oh, how? Not ceiling? Yes, yeah, yeah. No, but, no, but, sorry, Georgian, no whining. I'm just, I'll do a... Actually, this has made me think, though, this has got to kick off Friday jams. So make sure you just put that in after this. I'll do it now.

I'll do it now. Hit us with some text, Pawnee. Shot my shot around August. I went to Harvey Norman to buy a laptop. Ended up fencing the salesman, made him a handmade card in the shape of a laptop to flick in my deets. Worked great we're currently dating. Oh, yes. This is so nice.

I managed to get a guy's cell number from a mate's brother. I got the number. I had no Woody banter plan, so I just said, hi, it's me. 13 years later my shot landed but some days I do question my shot I'm in love and it's a well-known fact line Hey ho I'm gonna take it to a restaurant And wine and dine

Just putting the lyrics in that you want I shot my shot on a man who was in a shitty relationship Send him a text saying when you get rid of that hit me up A week later I received a message Do you want to get lunch I got rid of it It 19 years later we're married with a three kids. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow.

Oh, this is a long one and you know, they're always a bit of a rogue to just start reading. Had a great night at a house party spending the whole night talking to this girl and hitting it off towards the end of the night, only about six of us left and she said she was heading to bed. I shot my shot and I said, do you want some company? Naturally, the whole room was silent and she responded, no, I felt everybody's second-hand embarrassment. Oh, no! Amazingly, she found me on socials the next day and had said she wasn't feeling that in the moment and felt bad. She thought she'd embarrassed me.

We ended up having a six-month relationship. Oh, that's cute. You did that all right. That's worth it. When I was 18, I was staying with a group of friends at a beach house, wanted down to the beach to have some drinks. I asked a cute guy to carry my wine for me, hoping to keep him close, which he very kindly obliged and poured my drinks for me all evening.

33 years later, he still pulls me a wine at night. Oh, that's Norse. That's Norse. Oh, my God. I shot my shop with my Uber driver. I'm gay, and he was straight. Until he wasn't while we were parked up. Hey?

What? Wait, are you giving five stars? And what are you giving a $3 tip or just the tip? Mate, that's text of the week. I love that. I love that. There's got to be a text of the week. Good than the whole whole whole.

Have we done text of the week already? I don't think we'll do another one. We're doing another one, Shandong. Okay, a $50 animates voucher for you. Text of the week, thanks to animates making happy happen for pets. Can I just finish? I think I shot my show with two different. men working at two different fish and ship shops

both had mullets. Yeah. I don't want to say it, but I think you've got a type. You've got a type. Dude, you smell like crabsticks. Mm-hmm. Oh. Yeah, that was my tum-tum.
