Starting point is 00:00:00 For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. 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. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:30 From the ZM Podcast Network, this is Flesh, Worn and Hayley's Big Pod. Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse, the biggest brands at the lowest prices. ZM's Flesh, Worn and Hayley. Thank you Bryn, good morning. Happy Thursday Flesh, Worn and Hayley. Thank you Bryn, good morning. Happy Thursday Fletchbourne and Hayley. Welcome to the show. Not Hapu, but I've got waves of nausea. Not pregnant.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Not prego. Are we sure about that? I mean I guess it's fair enough. Because this is normally when the sickness happens is in the morning. Yeah and it's going like this. Well so you haven't eaten. Yeah I did it's fair enough. Because this is normally when the sickness happens is in the morning. Yeah, and it's going like this. Well, so you haven't eaten. Yeah, I did forget to eat yesterday. I ate breakfast.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Not a problem I ever seem to have. You've always got food on board. I have food here ready because I get hangry. So I know that I must have food available at all times within arm's reach. I know. Will you get hangry because I've actually depleted your food stores? I know I have given Hayley some of my food. Yeah, he gave me
Starting point is 00:01:29 kiwi fruit. She didn't eat the skins either. I know. She didn't eat the skins of the golden kiwi fruit. I know they're good for you, it's just not the vibe. Cleans you out. It's good for your guts. It's like a little brush. Yeah, a little brush. A little bristle brush. A little bristle brush. Through the colon.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Yeah. Coming up on the show this morning, 8 o'clock, Add to Cart returns. I'm actually listening at 8 after the news for that very first item. We've got the top six on the way. Loads more New Zealanders. Dude. Especially young New Zealanders leaving New Zealand. Brain drain straight across the Tasman.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I've got the top six types of people that left New Zealand in March. Apparently a very busy month for leaving the country. Next on the show, though, concert economics. People are working out how much their concert ticket is costing and then dividing by the number of songs and by the number of minutes of the concert. And in America, they've worked out the most expensive and the most cost-effective artists.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I'd be so interested to know Taylor Swift because she did so many songs in her concert. We've got concert economics for you next. It's sexy economics to start the show. This is hot. Hot stuff. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley. Well someone in America has worked out the concert economics and I've never thought
Starting point is 00:02:37 about going to see someone in concert and thinking I wonder how much I paid per song. You know neither. You never think about it right? You want a bushy set list. Oh, you want a great set list. Yeah. One of my favourite websites before and after a concert is setlist.fm.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yes. And they will have all the tour stats of all the bands that are touring around the world and you can always get a basic set list so you know what you're going to hear. And if you're seeing a band that maybe you don't know some of the songs, you can kind of check it out and, you know, listen to some songs before.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Totally. And then most people will go on there and then make a playlist on whatever, you know. So they've worked out the most expensive and cost-effective artists. Now, the most premium artist is Lana Del Rey. She is the priciest concert performer. Per song. At $16.02 per song. God.
Starting point is 00:03:32 $16.02? Yeah. Used to get a whole album for that. Well, Charli XCX tops the per minute cost at $3.55. Oh, right. So she's the costliest per minute. But she's got shorter songs. Shorter songs.
Starting point is 00:03:43 She gets more in. Cranks the mountain. Gets off the's got shorter songs, so she cranks. She gets more in. Cranks them out. Gets off the stage. I'm on board. Keep talking. Keep talking to me, baby. These stats.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I like these stats. Out of all the bands that they looked at, Oasis generated the most revenue per song at $858,000 with nightly earnings of $17.16 million across their reunion tour shows. Isn't that insane? Holy hell. Stadiums every night. Budget con...
Starting point is 00:04:12 But I remember people were forking it a lot for Oasis because they've come out of retirement. They were never going to perform. And you're never going to see them again. And they know they can charge you an absolute premium. Yeah, and it'll sell. Budget conscious fans get the best value from Ed Sheeran at just 91 cents per minute.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Usher is the best per song at $3.76. Have you seen him performing, though? It's so cringe. It's so cringe. It's quite icky, yeah. It's quite icky. So the full table, Lana Del Rey, she only performed 15 songs. She did a, I think it was seven.
Starting point is 00:04:45 She did a tour recently. It was only like seven shows. But she charged quite a bit. Because I think she was like, well, I'll just do a few and charge a lot. How much did she charge? So her cost per minute was $2.90, but per song was $16.02. That's per person? Yeah, so each person in that,
Starting point is 00:05:07 or no, for the ticket. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what I'm saying is how much was she per minute? Per minute, she is $2.90. So she's $2.90 per minute per person. Yes. And there's 10,000 people there.
Starting point is 00:05:19 That's a great hourly rate. There were some stats here about how much she made just with her seven shows. It was like insane. Good Lord. But yeah, this article is massive. Next on the list, Lady Gaga, 23 songs performed. She's at $2.47 a minute and $13.97 per song.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Now, Producer Carwin, you're off to sea. You've got tickets for the Sydney. I do. Melbourne. Sorry, Melbourne. Oh, yeah. She's a Melbourne girl. I love Melbourne.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Now, how much have you worked out from your ticket price based on who recent shows how much you're paying? Yeah, so after fees and conversion, because obviously it was Aussie dollars, I've paid $2.83 for honestly quite up the top tickets in the seating. But that's alright. It's not a big stadium. She's in the room.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Her tour's doing about 23 songs. So what I've worked out is I'll pay about $12-ish per song. And then $2.50 per minute. Easy. Okay. That's better than America. I've spent worse money. Totally. I also did my Taylor ticket okay
Starting point is 00:06:26 because I paid a bit more because how many songs did she do in the heiress tour yeah and Taylor's Taylor's left off this graph but I think it's because she stopped touring last year
Starting point is 00:06:34 yeah and also maybe it's one of those things where it's like she does way more than anyone would ever do so yeah
Starting point is 00:06:40 it doesn't count but I paid about 380 for my best ticket which was like one section back from touching her. And you had a pillar in front of you? No, no, no, I didn't. No, I had amazing-
Starting point is 00:06:51 Remember when she was selling those tickets so you couldn't see it? Reduced view or whatever it was, yeah. Or anyone that was standing behind Ross at the concert. Yeah, yeah, true. So she did 44 songs. Far out! Wow!
Starting point is 00:07:01 That's too much, that's too long. I've got a problem with concerts that are too long. Me too. Her run time is 195 minutes. Oh, get it. Okay, wow. That's amazing. Three hours. I'm just looking here at the biggest run time on this list would be Oasis, 151
Starting point is 00:07:18 and Beyonce, 148 minutes. Crazy. But so that works out that I paid about $8.60 per song. Yeah, that's bang for buck. Wow. And how many songs did she do, did you say? 44. Because Beyonce's doing 36.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And her per... How many of those are Disney's genre? God, you'd hope a few, eh? You'd want a few. Because otherwise... Ladies, if you're man at home, the club is full of ballers and their buckets full grown. And all you fellas, leave your car with your friends,
Starting point is 00:07:44 because it's 11.30 and the club is jumping, jumping. Yeah. We just want Destiny's Child songs, don't we? Honestly, could we just make this a Destiny's Child concert? In fact, could she do Nellie and Kelly? Oh, could she do Dilemma? I might as well get Nellie along as well. Could she do Dilemma?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Wait, do we have a festival? Mary's got the same size hands as me. She could do all of Kelly and Michelle's. Sorry. We digress. Okay, but what I was going to say is I think it's the best per minute cost because it's $1.90. Yeah, that's mean.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, that's really good. But it's 44 songs. Do you know what I mean? No, but you're a fan. You're a fan and you loved every single song. She could perform every single song and I would stand there. It's not Les Miserables. Do know, do you know what I mean? It's not bloody King Lear.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Well, yeah, I don't think we're going to be going to concerts the same now without dividing our ticket price by songs. Yeah. And thinking bang for buck. And you've put it in my head and I'm never going to be able to not do it. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Hayley. My brother and sister-in-law, they had hard wooden floors and their dog would skid all the time.
Starting point is 00:08:47 So they got those little like grippy booties. I can always go around and be like, how embarrassing for this dog. How embarrassing for you. But great for your floor. But great for the floors. Great for the floor. Now, I hit you with two pieces of virgin news.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And this is because there is a show that has come to Channel 4 which is like that kind of like cheap British they were the ones that did that one where the doors
Starting point is 00:09:11 come up and you get more nudah naked attraction more nudah more nudah that's what the show was called more nudah
Starting point is 00:09:18 analysing the genitals more nudah oh there's the balls yes I love that now what are we thinking there do we like an outie like that that's quite cute isn't she I love that. Now, what are we thinking there? Do we like an outie like that? That's quite cute, isn't she?
Starting point is 00:09:26 Yeah, like that. Yeah, that's a bit of me. Oh, my gosh. I don't know how people can go on that show. Oh, my gosh. What the f- I know. Is it just a scale thing?
Starting point is 00:09:36 Like, Britain's so much bigger than New Zealand that it's just a numbers game? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you probably- How many seasons? A lot of people got naked on that show. Yeah, a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I think people would do it here in New Zealand, but. I believe from my time in TV. Yeah. That was a discussion. Really? Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:56 yeah. And then they were like, you'll hit the amount of New Zealanders that are going to do it too soon and it'll get cancelled. So don't put the money into it. Okay. Well,
Starting point is 00:10:03 this TV show from C4 is called Virgin Island. Brings together 12 Brits between the ages of 22 to 30 who have not lost their virginity and they go on an intensive kind of intimacy workshop and course to get
Starting point is 00:10:19 over the things that are holding them back from losing their virginity. Now the internet's a bit divided because it's a very entertaining watch. I've watched some clips. Okay. And it's so awkward. It's so clunky. And we sort of love to watch that stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Yeah. But at the same time, they're like, they're getting all these sex experts in there and talking about how, you know, they could hire someone to just get it done and help them with these things and people are like, oh, we're just making a kind of zoo out of these people. But then that's like any reality TV show. Yeah. Like people sign up and
Starting point is 00:10:56 they're... Yeah, it's a zoo. Yeah. So they're there for different reasons. Some of them just want to like rip it off like a band-aid. Some of them are so socially awkward that that's what's holding them back. Some of them have like body and I don't want people to look at my body but wait like are they on like some kind of villary island kind of camp so then what they're gonna go away and some of them are gonna do it yeah and then come back and talk about it for the first time on tv yeah yeah yeah oh they okay see maybe maybe you've found a reality show I'd watch. Yeah, and they kind of put them under this pressure
Starting point is 00:11:28 of like temptation. So try to get them like revved up. Wait, have they hired hot models that want to be famous? No, but they've hired like kind of beautiful people to come in and show off their bits a little bit and be like, this is what you would do. You know, it's quite a lot. It's quite a lot.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Anyway, the other little piece of virgin news I have here is apparently in 2025 there are more virgins than ever before, later in their later life. Well, the numbers are stacking up. The numbers are stacking up. People in their 20-somethings into their 30s. Is it because people aren't doing
Starting point is 00:12:00 a lot of social things now? Totally. We're more online? Yeah, we're more online. We're more disconnected than ever before. A lot of people staying in. Also, like, alcohol consumption's down
Starting point is 00:12:12 and so you're not getting a bit loose. And there was that movie that came out like 10 years ago with the vagina had teeth. To be honest, that put me off for a while.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Oh, yeah, what was that? Vagina something. Can you believe they made a movie where a vagina had teeth? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that movie called? I never watched it.
Starting point is 00:12:29 What movie was it where a vagina had teeth? Oh, you're a huge fan. This guy loves... Oh, it was called Teeth. It was called Teeth, right. That's right. Dawn is a high school student
Starting point is 00:12:38 who after growing up next to a nuclear power plant finds she has developed a strange mutation, a vagina made of teeth. How did that get past the studio executive? That came out in 2007.

Starting point is 00:13:15 like I can just watch it here I can service myself I don't need to go out and seek intimacy I can just watch whatever I want and then before long
Starting point is 00:13:22 there'll be robots and so you know but then technically that's not on so I not losing your virginity if it's a robot. And then they're the sex robots. Oh, I'll be getting one. I'll be getting two. I'll be getting two. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:13:34 Wait, but do they clean out the house as well? Like, are they also a robot vacuum cleaner? Yeah, but then you're confusing. Because then it's sort of like they become a housewife. And then you might as well get married. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Then they start getting a bit mouth And then you've got, might as well get married. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Then they start getting a bit mouthy.

Starting point is 00:14:34 No, we've got to send more. We've got to send 20 more. No, 200 more. I'm pretty sure since these numbers were released, they would have left. Yeah, yeah, actually.

Starting point is 00:19:20 and the price, the pay was insanely different. Yeah. I do not know how we have any of these saintly, beautiful people left in this. Especially, you take into consideration if you're a nurse and you're doing four on, three off, that's three days to go catch a barramundi. That's right.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Oh, so much barramundi. So much meat on a barramundi. So not only are you getting paid more, your days are better. You've got this massive, pretty huge fish. Yeah, mate. Ready to be eaten. And then you know what? On days when you don't feel like a barramundi, you can have a chicken palmy.
Starting point is 00:19:55 You can do a palma. Well, she's saying palma because she's from Vic. I'm from Melbourne. And you're saying palmy because you're from NSW. Yeah, that's right.

Starting point is 00:20:29 So there is a revival of, and I don't know if these would have been a thing that you guys would have clocked, the beaded lizards. It's like a crafty. Beaded lizards. You get these beads and you hook them all together
Starting point is 00:20:42 and you make a little lizard and you turn it into a keychain. Now, 90s, 2000s kids, we all know these. Carl and Shannon, do you remember these? Were these like part of your childhood? Absolutely. Yeah, they were like, I was at the tail end of it and I was too young to know how to make them.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Yes, of course. But now I'm an adult. Are you going to get into it? They're back. I've seen them in stores. I'm seeing tutorials everywhere on how to make them. I've seen some girls. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:21:10 You just tie beads together. Yeah. It's actually embarrassing that that's considered. Shannon, you are the craft queen of the show. You crochet.

Starting point is 00:26:20 and robbed of $10 million worth of jewellery. She screamed for her life, truly authentically believed she was going to die and was screaming to this person, I'm a mum, please, please, I have to live for my babies. Awful, awful. Have you seen the guy that they reckon orchestrated it? Yeah, the ringleader.
Starting point is 00:26:37 He's like some old, hobbly old, hobbly old guy. They call him Grandpa. They call him a Grandpa. Right. A crime grandpa. Well, I mean, nine years ago, he probably was less hobbly. Less hobbly.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I know, but he was a sort of orchestrator of it all. He did tend to get a little bit hobblier later in life. Nine years is probably a long time on the hobble chart. Yeah. Yeah. It's a, do you worry?
Starting point is 00:26:57 It just goes up. Anybody else worry about becoming one of those hunched over, hobbly old men? Oh, I'll end it for me. I'm hunching. I'm hunching now.

Starting point is 00:27:41 She's done all of her talking and whatnot in this courtroom, and she has said that she, because, you know, she's a Christian woman. She said she's forgiven this person. She realised they were in a time of need and that kind of stuff. So that's happening in her real life, going through this. Apparently she did take a break to go shopping and she was wearing a lovely feathered coat. Anyway, so this trailer drops for this new TV show starring Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Nisi Nash, who you know if you saw her.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I love those actors that you describe as. You know that I saw them. Like Kieran Hines. You were like, the Irish guy. He's in everything. You'd know him if you see him. He always plays a bad guy. And I was like, yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:18 of a vibe, do you reckon? Very. And it's all, yeah. Did you see they cancelled LA Suits? Did they? We did the interview. We did the interview and they cancelled it. It always guts me when we do an interview and they'll cancel a show after one season.

Silly Little Pole today is which, which one are you? Are you an early bird?
Starting point is 00:30:12 Or are you a night owl? So researchers... That's a pigeon, by the way. Researchers looked at 27,000 people in the UK. Good spread. Brain scans, all kinds of tests, because they wanted to see the difference between the night owls and the early birds.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Well, to see if there was any benefit or... Well, yeah, and they say the results were revealing. People who identified as early birds had brain features that were different from those of night owls. The differences were mostly notable in parts of the brain related to emotions, memory, reward, and decision-making.
Starting point is 00:30:50 In the positive or the negative? Or is it kind of all over the show? They found that night owls were more likely to have mood-related problems, less healthy habits, and lower levels of physical activities where early birds tended to show better emotional control and overall well-being.
Starting point is 00:31:05 But then how early? Because three or four o'clock waking up is different than waking up to a five or a six. Yeah, totally. That's more on your circadian rhythms. Yeah, I think it... Don't you be seven o'clock rising

Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah. At the studios. Yeah, yeah. We drove past the studios the other day and you can tell when something big's happening because they park the trailers along the fence so you can't peep in. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And that's happened. There's a massive blue screen and so, you know, I thought we'd move to green screens. No, blue is what we've moved into. Oh. Yeah. We moved away from green. Big action shots. So now, so what, so he started filming this movie in Queenstown, the movie about him
Starting point is 00:36:38 being an old soldier with a dog. With a doll, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So now he's up in the north doing all the studio stuff. And if you missed it, he was caught at the local, our local McDonald's getting a bloody cordy pea. You know? So they've confirmed that was his order.
Starting point is 00:36:55 That was his order, cordy pea. I knew Brad Pitt and I would be great friends. Extra pickles. I don't know. I don't know if it's probably not worth the wait. You just get the usual. Yeah. It's the best burger. Yeah.. I don't know. I don't know if it's probably not worth the wait. You just get the usual. It's the best burger. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:07 It's the number one. So McDonald's New Zealand came out on their social saying, hey, we're giving everyone named Brad a free quarter pounder to be eligible.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Now this is weird. Okay. Listen, because we're going to pay the system. Hayley this morning is like, guys, I've got a way
Starting point is 00:37:23 to get a free quarter pounder. Because I love non-alts. And mate, quarter pounder would go down bloody well right now. But to be eligible for this free quarter... To be eligible, you have to be called Brad. How embarrassing would it be if Brad Pitt had ordered the Filet-O-Fish at this stage of the game? Not embarrassing at all.
Starting point is 00:37:39 It actually would have been like, that's a superior burger. And then they're lying and they're just saying it as a quarter pounder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so. You're telling me he keeps that bod and he's not hitting primarily white low-cal meat? Yeah, exactly. Delish. Oh my God, I want a filet-o-fish so bad right now.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Anyway, so McDonald's said we're giving everyone named Brad a free quarter pounder to be eligible, though. Users must have registered to the McDonald's app before the 12th of May. Meaning. Yes. Because I was like, I'll just change my name on the McDonald's app to Brad. Go get me a free 40p. You had to be pre-registered. Because I saw a couple of Brad's I know sharing the screenshot that they
Starting point is 00:38:16 because they get the notifications on the app. I know. Well, we wanted to chat to Bad News Brad to see if he got one, but we can only assume he's asleep. Or bonking. He's probably bonking. Don't spread rumors. Bonking boy Brad. to see if he got one, but we can only assume he's asleep. Or bonking. He's probably bonking. Now, no, but it's,
Starting point is 00:38:28 Bonking boy Brad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's still, it's still, he'll hate that. Fletcher's waving at me
Starting point is 00:38:33 to tell me to stop it. Vaughn hates I'm going to start letting people know when you're giving me hand gestures to stop. Because I feel like
Starting point is 00:38:40 sometimes I just stop and people are like, why did you stop? And then I got told off. So it's eligible until midnight Sunday. Midnight Sunday. Okay, so if your name is Brad or you know a Brad, our friend Brad just left the country.
Starting point is 00:38:54 That damn fool. Can we log into his app? I wonder if he can give me his login. I feel like he's probably... I've got a question about the McDonald's app. He might have already used it. I've got a question about the McDonald's app. He might have already used it. I've got a question about the McDonald's app. What is it?
Starting point is 00:39:09 Because I'll do it when we go through the drive-thru. Yeah. And they're like. And I'm like, wait a minute. I'm finding my number. Because in the app, it's like M and then it gives you some numbers. Oh, yeah, yeah. It constantly changes. Did you know that?
Starting point is 00:39:23 No, I don't know how it works. I want to know why. Why does it constantly change? Different deals and they change. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not about the deals. It's my number. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I give them my number and then buy something. The points go onto my account, but that number's always changing. It's probably a security thing. Why does it need to be so secure? I don't know. It's got more security than my banking app. Yeah, true, actually. That's the one that needs more security.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Yeah, okay. I'm not going to get scammed out of my Maccies points. Do you think, because I know where he is staying, and obviously I'm not going to say. Let's go. Should we just wander? Because you and I went for that bushwalk over there. I'm going for a bushwalk this weekend.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Yeah. Oh, whoopsie-daisy. It's wild to know I've been where he's staying. You have been where he's staying. And I've actually looked around where he's staying. It is so incredibly stunning. If you're out that way, that's where you've got to stay.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Great spot for a bonk. Great spot for a bonk. If anyone gets the offer to bonk Brad Pitt, I would say do it for the scenery alone. Because he's single. Oh, no, he's not single. He's got a partner. He's Brad Pitt's girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Hot young thing. Right. Obviously. Obviously, yeah. Anyway, I mean, if he's girlfriend. Hot young thing. Right. Obviously. Obviously, yeah. Anyway, I mean, if he's listening, good on you, mate. Cordy P, absolutely respectable. Cordy P in a scenic bonk, are you kidding me? And tip of the hat to Maccas because that's good marketing from them.

Pan Am was canned about Pan Am. Pan Am worked Pan Am until it was canned. Pan Am. Can I get back into my core storyline?
Starting point is 00:42:47 Wait a minute. December 1991, Pan Am ceased flying. America's leading international carrier since 1928. Pan Am. Anyway, so I'm at this cafe because I don't want to go home and I had some work to do.
Starting point is 00:43:02 I was tweaking my show that's opening tomorrow. Can't buy tickets, so suck it. I mean, that's instilling great faith in the people who have bought tickets that are still just getting a tweak. Oh, I'm just doing tweaks. I'm just giving a zhuzh, mate. Anyway, so I decided to go work at a cafe. Now, I did do a lovely transition from breakfast to wine. I got there.
Starting point is 00:43:20 I had two coffees. I had my lovely salmon omelette and then I did some mahi. Then it turned around to 12.30 and I thought, absolutely, I'm not ready to leave yet. It's a long time to be in a cafe taking up tables. I was there for two and a half hours.
Starting point is 00:43:29 It's a big working cafe, lots of us. And, here's my etiquette, it's you. There was a woman next to me and she's doing business calls. She took three of them
Starting point is 00:43:39 in the time that I was there. She was there the whole time. And that's fine. That's kind of what this cafe's known for is a business spot. But there's a charger in between us, PowerPoint, to charge. I'm flat on everything. So I need this. She's got
Starting point is 00:43:51 two chargers in it, two sockets. She's got them both. One of them is just a cord and it's on the floor and it's not being used. Unplug. Excuse me, ma'am. I know, but she was on her headphones and in the middle of this thing. So I was like, I can't be doing that. I didn't snap my fingers at her.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I probably could have. Anyway, so I was like, getting a bit annoyed about this charger situation, but she wouldn't get off this call. So then I start nosy parkering in and listening to what she's talking about and she's very informed. Yes, I think if we were to review this something or rather, then we would know this and we would take it to the client. And I was like, wow, she's really informed.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I look over. There's her team's meeting. All these clients, I imagine. Yeah. What's this window? She's got a bloody chat GPT telling her exactly what to say. I'm watching her. It was like a script.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Really? Yeah, she'd obviously put this like issue into chat GPT and then was like every now and then just sort of like a yes, yes, yes and typing lightly. I mean, look, if I could do that in my daily job, I'd 100% do it. Like everyone I know is using ChatGPT. Oh, I thought it was cheeky. You thought it was cheeky?
Starting point is 00:44:55 I thought it was mighty cheeky. Very cheeky. Because she's talking to the client like she's got the thought and the opinion herself, you know, taking questions. But surely you can see through that. Probably the same woman that tells her children that ChatGPT is cheating if you use it for homework. It is.
Starting point is 00:45:09 No, I know it is. It is. She's cheating in life. Do you tell your kids that? I tell them not to get answers from it, but if they don't understand how something works, to ask ChatGPT to explain it to them in layman's terms. Yeah, I mean, I get it. I just thought, I was like, I got you.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I got you. Do you know what I should have done to get her back for the charger hoarding? Popped my head into the screen and be like, she's using ChatGPT. Could have done that. Should have done that. I'm so sorry. I take this woman strong.
Starting point is 00:45:38 What was she eating? Lunchtime wine? Yeah, I got my sad. She's using ChatGPT. She's cheating. Fire her. Fire her and hire men. Buy, I got it. My Sav. She's just in charge of your PT. She's cheating. Fire her. It'll be 12.30pm. Fire her and hire men
Starting point is 00:45:48 and buy tickets to my show. Yeah, I'm a comedian. Wait, how many people are on this call? 20. You should go buy tickets to my show. You should buy tickets
Starting point is 00:45:55 to my show. Had a less sprout, I come. What did she, over the course of three business calls, I missed the natural out. Whatever. It's my show.
Starting point is 00:46:02 My name's second. I'll do what I want. I'm last. I'll just follow. What did. It's my show. My name's second. I'll do what I want. I'm last. I'll just follow. What did she, how much did she order when she was there doing all these business calls?
Starting point is 00:46:10 Vaughn Allen. She was there before I arrived. I was there for two and a half hours. She was there when I left. Nothing. Oh, that's bad etiquette. And two charges. She had an empty coffee.
Starting point is 00:46:20 So she had had one coffee. At least order another coffee. Yep. Two charges. Unbelievable. Yeah, bad etiquette. Bad etiquette. At least order another coffee. Yep. Two charges? Unbelievable. Yeah, bad etiquette. Bad etiquette. Bad etiquette.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Naughty. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. It's 18 minutes away from eight. It's 18 minutes away from nine somewhere, man. It's 18 minutes away from eight. I didn't say nine. It's 18 minutes away from nine. It's 18 minutes away from eight. man It's 18 minutes away from 8 I didn't say 9 It's 18 minutes away from 9
Starting point is 00:46:46 It's 18 minutes away from 8 Probably the other side of the world I didn't say 9 Now I would like to talk By the way I've got him on board today Why? I'm holding my dark passengers Reaching for the wheel
Starting point is 00:47:02 Oh no he's a little bit present Yeah he wants. Being very bratty today. I know. I'm into it. I just knocked a big pile of newspapers over and then kicked it. Like I was the editor and then I screamed, get me pictures of Spider-Man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It was fun. He's right here. He wants to drive. Yeah, he said before, yabba-dabba-doo. He screamed it out. I mean, it came from nowhere. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:19 We want to talk now. Shut up, I'm talking. Listen to him. We want to talk about what you do when you're alone. Well, because lately when I've been driving home alone, I've been working on my Donald Trump impression. Now, honestly. Actually, when I was a kid, I was proud of the fact that I could do voices,
Starting point is 00:47:37 but then when I got a bit older as a teenager, someone said, that's not cool and you need to stop that, and they crushed my dreams and I stopped. Oh, babes. Oh, babes. Oh, babes. You could have been a famous voice impressionist. Yeah. Could have been one of those people who just has impressions and that's all they do.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I love an impressionist. Yeah, I do too. I think we cannot move forward with this story and this phoner without getting a little sample. Chyna! You know Chyna! I don't. See, I lose it.
Starting point is 00:48:04 It's not there. It's not there. But that's why I'm practising. That's why I'm practising. China! You know China! See, I lose it. It's not there. It's not there. But that's why I'm practising. That's why I'm practising. I think your Trump is on par with my Arnie. That's where you're at. You're right. You're right.
Starting point is 00:48:13 That's where you're at. You're right. Because Trump, sometimes he softens. He softens a little. No, he's gone. No, he's gone. And it's the New York accent, but also the way, and it's a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:48:23 So where have you been practising this? Well, I'm driving. Okay. And I have caught people looking at me and like sighing, because I'm going, I'm driving, but I'm also, sometimes it's just knees, and I'm gesticulating like he does with the hands. Yeah. China.
Starting point is 00:48:37 If it helps you. That wasn't a bad one. Is that all you can do? China. China. That's the word that gets you into the impression. Right. China.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Yeah. Like with Kermit gets you into the impression Right China Yeah Like with Kermit the Frog The impression you start off with Hi ho I'm Kermit the Frog Yeah Hi ho it's Kermit the Frog So you go Get in there
Starting point is 00:48:51 Oh yeah What are you doing there Mickey Oh yeah Mickey Mickey's is the laugh Yeah yeah yeah Okay I think the Spongebob
Starting point is 00:49:01 Was always the Why don't you just listen to I don don't know, the radio or podcasts? I do. Normal people do in the car. Um, yeah. Turn into iHeartRadio. It's a Trump impression of seeing if the chimney can bounce off the median. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Sometimes I'm just like, I wonder if I could hit that and bounce off. Dark. It's dark. The dark passenger is present. How hard would I have to hit that to be like, whoa, I feel alive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just feel something new. But not have to stop.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Yeah, totally. I do this with, I do two things. Sometimes I'll drive along and I'll act like it's the beginning, opening sequence of a film. You know what I mean? I love this. And like a song will come on the radio. What song's playing?
Starting point is 00:49:41 So every now and then, okay, this is embarrassing. Okay, I'm going to play a song that I think would... Why don't you play the song that... No, okay. This is what always gets me. I trained myself
Starting point is 00:49:51 to cry on command to Rhinestone Cowboy. And how I did it was I would put on Rhinestone Cowboy and I would imagine a scenario that I have picked up
Starting point is 00:50:01 my dead husband's ute. And I get in the ute and I turn it on and rhinestone cowboy comes on and I go this bloody song I hate this song he always listened to it but he's dead so then I'm driving along the road how did he die was that sudden or cancer oh so it's drawn out Jesus yeah please okay and I'm in right and I'm backing out the truck I've picked it up from the bloody shop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I'm like, God, I'll turn it off. And then I think, no, he's gone. And what I'll do is I'll drive down the road, wherever I am, just listening to this song and thinking. I'm imagining. And then you start crying. You're on a country road. It's sunset.
Starting point is 00:50:41 There's a wide camera pan from like an elevated angle. Drone these days would have been a helicopter shot. And I like want to turn the song off because I've always said to him, I hate this bloody song, Steve. I hate this song. Turn it off. You're always listening to the song. But on this occasion, and honestly, I can't do it now because I'm like talking.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I'll cry. On command. Okay, here comes the chorus. Wait, so you do this by yourself? You pretend you're in a movie? Crank it. Weekly. Crank it.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Okay. And I'm like, like a rhinestone cowboy. Oh, my God, I'm there. Please, Steve, why do you have to go and die on me? Is this the first time you've cried since he died? Yeah, I've just been like, I think we actually had a fight before he died. Oh, the last thing you said to him. But he died of cancer.
Starting point is 00:51:22 You don't argue with a cancer patient. Yeah, I know, but I think he was going to make it through. I think he was going to make it through. And lots of stuff came out about his... So, I practice my crying and acting when I'm on my own. Okay, this is your Trump impressions.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Yeah, but now when I drive home today, I'm going to be, I'm going to put the, I'm going to be driving along and then, so it fades from black in and I'm driving. So now you're going to pretend
Starting point is 00:51:44 you're in movies as well. I'm going to give this a go. No, but I'm driving. So now you're going to pretend you're in movies as well. I'm going to give this a go. No, but I'm a TV show. He's just moved to the city. I'm a TV show. Yeah, I've just moved in. Okay. Some big stuff happened. Life's full of changes and I've moved to the city and I turn on the radio and this is on and I'm like I'm me by the way. Yeah, okay. Right, we want

Starting point is 00:52:14 And you're like, I think I actually might be really good. Let me see if I can hit this note. Huh? You're like, oh my God, did anyone hear that? I mean, it's always embarrassing if you thought you were the only one home and you do that. And then you realize your flatbats have been home the whole time. Someone wants to know on the text machine, given that you, everyone on the show, spends the most time alone, what do you do when you're alone?
Starting point is 00:52:34 I don't do any of this weird shit. I think he just talks to his cat. I just talk to my cat. Yeah, I just talk to my cat. It's pretty sad. Wait, what's sad? Talking to your cat or pretending your husband just died in a movie? That's creative.

Starting point is 00:53:02 And no one can see or hear you. I feel like this is the topic that the nation needed. Needed today. There's some people getting it off their chest. I do a dramatic recital of a poem called The Highwayman, like I'm some Victorian showwoman touring the country. Fantastic. Get that person on the phone.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I want to hear that poem. I don't think people want to do this. No, it's the private because it's so vulnerable. Yeah, it is. Renee, what do you do when you're all alone? When I'm in the car,
Starting point is 00:53:31 I'm actually a really famous singer and I'm putting on a performance. Sometimes it's a Broadway musical. Sometimes it's a Tiny Desk performance.

Starting point is 00:53:58 Yeah. You might or might not know this, Renee, but it's impossible for anyone to sing anything without Hayley overbearing and kind of taking control of the situation. That's right. Can we hear a little something from Waitress? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:54:11 No, you don't play Hayley. Why do you reckon it's like this, Renee? Why do you reckon when it's just you, you've created this entire thing, you want a goddamn Tony. Yeah. But when it comes to a crowd or a performance, you don't want to do it. There's something
Starting point is 00:54:28 about the walls of the car that's very safe. Yeah. Yeah. It's the airbags. It's a fantasy. And the acoustics of the airbags. Thanks, Renee. Let's go to Sarah. Sarah, what do you do when you're all alone and no one can see you? Kia ora. Good morning. Kia ora. I practice
Starting point is 00:54:44 my crying and it's kind of in a joke way but also I'm a nurse and we're not allowed to cry when we see sad things so when I'm alone I try and let it out because I've heard
Starting point is 00:54:57 it's a really good way to let it out You sweet, sweet, sweet child It's nice to cry in the car, right? It is good Sometimes I sob and it's just you get out of the car, the other end, your destination, you're good.
Starting point is 00:55:08 What about one of those cries? What about one of those cries that leaves you dehydrated? Or a snotty cry. Bad story, but that actually happened this week because my cat got hit by a car. But anyway. Sarah! Okay, the headache's gone now.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Do you need rhinestone, cowboy? We don't want to make it worse. Don't make it worse. No, we don't want to make it worse. I walk so I can't cry on the side of the road. Yes, no, we can't be crying. We can't be crying. Sarah, thank you for your call.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALES at M. What do you do when you're all alone and no one can see you? Oh, my God. When I'm nailing mum life and doing five things at once while keeping my cool, I pretend I'm on a sitcom playing an awesome single mum and the audience are applauding and cheering me when I do really well.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And I'll break the fourth wall and give them a look like, little way. Can you believe this? Am I right? So good. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Talking about those things that you do in private when no one's watching, no one's listening.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Man, some funny messages. You've got to just like plow through them. Only because there's so many funny ones and we don't have the time. But we appreciate every one of them. I'm thinking about how I can get back at my son's bully. He's just started school and when I go to pick him up, I want to put a fart bomb in the bully's bag
Starting point is 00:56:17 so everyone laughs at the bully. Petty, yes, but meh. So you're just spending all your time alone plotting revenge against a six-year-old. No, totally. And it's weird. It's like, why do I want to punch a kid? It's like they've been mean to my kid and I know, you know, you shouldn't fight fire with fire,
Starting point is 00:56:32 but I burn hotter, so I will win. Yeah. I will end you. Shout out to the people practicing winning arguments. Yeah. Yes. So many people. Like what, before they get home?
Starting point is 00:56:41 Yeah. Or just, yeah, just having a little vent without having to actually start an argument because it's tiring. Yeah. While in the car, I pretend to be a detective who's just cracked the case and I'm throwing all the evidence at the very guilty suspect,
Starting point is 00:56:53 slamming it down in front of him, yelling at him. Oh my God, I pretend anything I'm doing at the time is content for my non-existent YouTube channel and it features an English accent as well. That's funny, I want to hear it. I will watch your YouTube channel. Hi guys, spend the day with me
Starting point is 00:57:06 as I get ready to go to the market. Guess what? Stuck in traffic again. Oh my God, guys. I'm a teacher. When I'm in the car, I will name the students that have annoyed me and I will out loud tell them,
Starting point is 00:57:17 they're not there, the honest truth about what I think about them and their behaviour. What a good way to vent at the end of the day. When I'm alone, I'm being interviewed by Graham Norton about my dramatic performances. Oh my God, amazing.
Starting point is 00:57:29 This is so good. Nothing like giving your mother-in-law an imaginary piece of your mind when you're alone in the car and my car has heard some things. Someone just said, I beatbox. Cool. That was real.
Starting point is 00:57:41 If you're good, that's still a very cool story. Did you read out the person who cooks and pretends? When I'm making dinner and no one's around, I pretend I'm hosting a cooking program on TV, but I am French. I'm not. I try and say it all in French for my broken high school French
Starting point is 00:57:52 and talk through what I'm making. Even baked beans on toast sounds sexy when it's in French. I would watch every text we've got. I'd watch. Same. Bonjour, bienvenue. Yeah, but the idea is that nobody would ever do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:02 You remember Creaky Galleon Louise? Of course. Creaks like a galleon when she gets up. Yeah. Wonderful imagery there. When she's alone, she is New Zealand's first Winter Olympic gold medal biathlon winner. Wasting the Nords and the Swedes from nowhere,
Starting point is 00:58:15 dressed all in black with a zinger silver fern down one side. Hell yeah. Yeah. I like to commentate rugby matches when I'm by myself during the game. I get really into it. And then I'll throw the mic at my cat, to my cat, who's doing the sideline commentary. She usually just mouths.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And then I'll say something. Interesting thoughts from our on-field commentator. Meow. Meow. That's no good? That's great. I'm not crazy, I promise. That's a great way to start a story.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I'm not crazy, I promise, but went from working in office with five others in the social sector to well-being coaching all by myself. When I'm on my own, I have full-blown laughter and punchline jokes and play all the roles as John, Karen, Bailey, Riri and myself. We are a very funny office. They don't exist. They don't exist. Okay, you're making up people.
Starting point is 00:58:53 I work in a film studio when no one's around. I go into the soundstage to practice my singing because the acoustics are amazing, but my singing sucks. There's so many. I need to be friends with the French cooking person someone texted. Between the two of us
Starting point is 00:59:05 We've got the best cooking show I'd watch it I'd watch it I would watch a cooking show Of people pretending to be French Far more than I'd watch A TV show of an actual French chef Oh god yeah
Starting point is 00:59:14 100% Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley Usually when my boys When I see them in the morning I just like to pump them up Just buy a nice t-shirt Nice You're looking good
Starting point is 00:59:22 You're looking great Blah blah blah blah blah Vol worked in this morning. He was wearing a jacket. He comes in. He takes it off. He takes it off. And I was like, ooh, one.
Starting point is 00:59:34 And I was like, any amount of things could have happened. The first time I see myself in the morning is the mirror and the elevator. Yeah, right. Yeah. I tell you what, I was vibing my fit this morning. The fit is great. You've got a little
Starting point is 00:59:48 Sherpa coat and some nice jeans. I just found my old black jeans. Yep, great. I put them on, they fit again. I take no umbrage
Starting point is 00:59:56 with the jacket, the jeans, the boots, the beanie, everything, my friend. This t-shirt is disgusting. It looks like... So it's a white, it's meant to be white. I think it's meant to be disgusting. It looks like...
Starting point is 01:00:05 So it's a white, it's meant to be white. I think it's meant to be white. It's not meant to be white, but please, go on. Shut up, it looks like a white T-shirt that this man has washed for 10 years, never on a white load. You know what I mean? He's chucked it in, it is grey.
Starting point is 01:00:18 It looks like you're at Judy Free or the Sunglass Hut and you'd put on some sunnies, but they make everything a tint of yellow. A bit tint of grey. There is a yellowy greyness to it that honestly just makes me feel like it stinks of piss. And I know it doesn't. It looks like it's soaked in urine.
Starting point is 01:00:35 You're right. It looks like it's been through a blue wash. It does. It looks like it's been through a blue wash. You've washed it with blue jeans too much. But it's not old. I've worn this t-shirt no more than a handful of times. Honestly, it is so ugly.
Starting point is 01:00:49 It's not this photo shoot, but the photo shoot we had for work before. We went and they were like, what are you going to wear? And I was like, please don't give me shirts. Just give me T-shirts. And so they gave me this T-shirt. And then they're like, you can keep that T-shirt. And I've never worn it.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I see why. No one wants to be associated with it. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. It does look like a really old teenage boy's T-shirt who's just been put, who's going flatting for the first time. He just chucks his towels and everything in the wash. Towels, jeans, white T-shirts.
Starting point is 01:01:15 And then just bungs it straight in the dryer without even like shaking it out. This is not what's happened. This shirt came this colour. It's... Bone? What is it? It's dirt. It just looks grubby
Starting point is 01:01:25 like you've sweat into it. It does look like it stinks. And this morning you went through your hamper and found it at the bottom and it's a little bit wet. It's gotta go. It's gotta go.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Can you take it off? It's just gotta go. Take it off. I'm demanding it's off. I literally can't wait. I said, get me some scissors. I want to cut this up.
Starting point is 01:01:42 I got you another t-shirt and ironically I will point out that this is an anti-bullying. The only, this is a, wait, so it's pink shirt day tomorrow, the day in New Zealand, which is like, wear a pink shirt, wear anti-bullying. Tomorrow. Right, so bullying is okay today.
Starting point is 01:01:56 But you're going to get me to take off my shirt and put on a shirt to stop bullying. You're bullying me into it. I just cannot look at this pristine, stinky T-shirt anymore. It's giving me the impression that there's sweat and smell in the room. And you've got to change it. Get off.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Okay. We've sorted that out. Honestly, if you could see this T-shirt. I'll get a photo of you before you take it off. No, no, no, because the camera will white balance it. It'll white balance it, yeah. Just imagine the dirtiest teenage T-shirt you've ever seen. I'm shocked there's no holes in it.
Starting point is 01:02:30 This is the colour it came. And it doesn't smell. Now I'm so beside myself about smelling, which I have been for the last six months since I was told at the gym I smell. That you stink. The lady at the gym told you you stink. It's funny, I've been working out for an hour and a half.
Starting point is 01:02:42 It'd be weird if I didn't stink at this stage, but I don't smell. Yeah, I know, but funny, I've been working out for an hour and a half. It'd be weird if I didn't stink at this stage, but I don't smell. Yeah, I know, but it looks like you do. It does look like I smell. Anyway, tomorrow we won't be bullying, but today, ooh, T-shirt, ooh, you're so manky and gross, and I'm going to make you take that T-shirt off and change it. I can't look at it any longer.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. YouTube have announced that they are finally cracking down on fake trailers. Do you know who got them? I always fall for these. I like them. Do you know who really got targeted? Friends Reunion. Do you remember this? Like so many people were like, it's the Friends Reunion
Starting point is 01:03:18 trailer. We've all waited for it. And it was all like they'd edit it together and I was like, oh my god. Nope. And every time you'd be like, no it's not it, is it? Yeah. Yeah. So how are they going to crack down on this? Because there's so many like-
Starting point is 01:03:30 I just think it's so clever the way people do it. They're doing like sequels and- They're doing it not because they want to, they're making something creative. They're trying to get our money right in views. I don't care. Is that the idea? Good on them.
Starting point is 01:03:42 I guess so. They put in an effort. Oh, right. They're like, it's not a moral thing for them. Yeah. They're just like, we want them cut. And that's what they've said. They are cracking down on the channels that profit from fake footage and from trailers.
Starting point is 01:03:55 So there have been so many, I guess a lot of the movie companies and TV companies have been complaining for a long time. Yeah. And now with AI generation, it's very easy for these people to turn around stuff pretty quickly. I love them. A little fantasy about a sequel to a movie you loved once, it was never going to come back.
Starting point is 01:04:14 And then they just make, like people go to so much effort. But I, yeah, I've done that where you see a movie's coming out and you Google the trailer and the first three or four things are all fake and you're just like, yeah, it's in a trailer. Yeah. Great. Totally. I fell for that again. Yeah. I see that. I can see, I'm looking
Starting point is 01:04:29 on your screen. I'm peeping. He's peeping over the shoulder. I'm peeping, Tom, over your shoulder. I see the Fantastic Four is one that they've, because that was shocking. The amount of fake Fantastic Four trailers online was crazy. And now there are actual trailers.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Yeah. But yeah, it'd be like new trailer and you'd watch it. This isn't. I like the creativity of it, but this isn't. It does sound like they aren't going to delete them. So they're going to demonetize them. Yeah, right. Which could mean that they stop bothering.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Then there's less of them. Is that because that's a copyright issue? Yeah. They demonetize it. Right. Yeah, because they're making money off, you know, the movie company's IP. Do you remember when
Starting point is 01:05:08 movie trailers, like movie trailers now are art, like beautiful. Do you remember when it was all just like coming this summer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's a voiceover. One woman's journey to self-love.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Yeah, yeah. And the one guy voice is back. He did it all. Something Dave, he's dead now. He died. Is that why we Fond, he's dead now. He died. Is that why we don't use them anymore? No, I think it just fell out of fashion.
Starting point is 01:05:30 No, the art of the trailer is, like, amazing. Yeah. And that's why I'm kind of like. The other part about trailers is where a 90s grunge or rock song is covered by a female choir. You love that, don't you? I'm a creep. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Couldn't be more normal Come as you are Oh yeah Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley Fact of the day Day, day, day, day Contraception we're here at Fact of the Day. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Today, I would like to tell you about the, give you the rundown of the scientific paper, the effects of gender and Birth Control Use on the Spontaneous Blink Rates. What? Yolton, Yolton, Lopez, Bogner, Stevens and Rao came together to work on this. This is contraception. And this is the story.
Starting point is 01:06:35 To clarify conflicting claims and major references about gender difference and spontaneous blink rates. So they were like, women blink more than men. Yeah. Because we can never believe what you're saying. So we were like, women blink more than men. Yeah. Because we can never believe what you're saying. So we're like, excuse me? Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.
Starting point is 01:06:50 What? You did what? What was that idiocy coming out of your mouth? So they got 59 males and 86 females, 44 of which were on birth control pills. Blink rates measured over five minutes. A Schirmer test and tear breakup time
Starting point is 01:07:08 were also recorded. I don't know who those two are. I'm not here to tell you about the Schirmer test. Schirmer. Oh, how good would a Schirmer be right now? Oh my God, a Schirmer. I'd take a Schirmer with chips in it. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:07:19 The Schirmer test is a tear test that assesses the amount of tears in the eyes and is frequently used to diagnose dry eye syndrome. Oh, yeah. So that was taken into account but did not play a major part. So the blink rates, the mean blink rates. The females on birth control blinked 19.6 times a minute. Females not on birth control blinked 14.9 blinks a minute.
Starting point is 01:07:44 So over five more blinks a minute. And the females that are on birth control, men, 14.9 blinks a minute. So over five more blinks a minute in the females that are on birth control. Men, 14.5 blinks per minute. So the birth control definitely had an effect. Yes. Wide individual differences within each group. Does it have to do with the dryness? Caused by the... No, because they did the Shermer test.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Okay. No direct correlation with contact lens use, tear metrics because they did the Shermer test okay no direct correlation with contact lens use tear metrics Shermer Shermer age menstrual cycle phase
Starting point is 01:08:11 or room conditions but the major difference was the females that were on birth control blinked 32% blank they're blank
Starting point is 01:08:20 yeah you blanked you idiot yeah because when he was a kid he was Benny Blinko yeah but now he's an adult he's Benny Blinko yeah you're right I he's an adult, he's Benny Blanko. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:26 You're right, I'm wrong. I'll say it. How many times did you just blank? Yeah. Not blinked. How many times I blinked? That's, of course. What a silly.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Oh yeah, I runned to the dairy. Yeah. I ran. If you're about to blink, it's a blink. It's a blank. In the future, I will blink. Yeah. I will blink.
Starting point is 01:08:40 I blink. I blink. I blank. Yeah. Perfect. So birth control appeared to increase the blink rate by 32% in women. So this is another thing that birth control messes with. Wow.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Wow. Wow. And men still won't get one. Am I right? We cannot put up with enough, you know? We love when women blink. Shows off the eyelashes. We do flutter.
Starting point is 01:09:00 We do flutter. They flutter the eyelashes. So they don't know why? It's just a correlation. The mechanism behind the increase is still unknown, but it's not a dryness thing. It's not a contact lens thing. It's not a menstrual cycle thing or an age thing.
Starting point is 01:09:12 So you can work out. So it's a hormone thing. If you watched a woman. You're on a date. You're on a date. You're on a date. You don't want to ask and presume. You're on birth control.
Starting point is 01:09:21 She's on birth control. She's like, how did you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What pill are you taking? Yes, man, or Laura? That's a sexy thing too, isn't it? What? I noticed you're on birth control.
Starting point is 01:09:32 How did you know? Maybe you blank. Yeah, because you blank a lot. Because you blanked. Yeah. And you're all over the show emotionally. A bit chubby, I'll say it. I can tell you've got zero sex drive.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Yeah. It's messing with you more than you even realise. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is females on birth control, blank, on average, 32% more than women who aren't. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley. I've actually been seeing this a lot on my Instagram.

Starting point is 01:11:15 I'm talking about eye colour because I've seen this a lot. People, you can get this surgery now. Oh my God, why are you doing this? Where they get a needle in behind, because I've seen tattooed whites of the eyes, but they get a needle.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Where's Borlam? I know, freaky friends. You get a needle in behind the iris and they inject an ink that changes the colour of your eyes. No. Like this woman here, who has changed her eyes from brown to blue. Now, it looks blue,
Starting point is 01:11:40 but the interesting thing on this particular post is that she hasn't told her husband she's doing this. She's going to go home and be like, you're my brown-eyed girl. And she'll be like, no. Blue. Record scratch. How the hell have they done that? How the bloody hell? There's so many people. But how does the ink change a
Starting point is 01:11:57 darker colour to a lighter colour? Makes me feel a bit sick. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like I'm going to go down again. Yeah, I feel like I can go down. Not for a sexy reason. Oh, yuck, yeah. But more just like something so altering, you don't need permission,
Starting point is 01:12:11 but don't even telling your husband that you're doing this. We want to know this morning, what did you do without telling your partner first? Maybe it was like a big makeover change. Well, maybe you said you were getting one tattoo while you were in Melbourne, and as you were taking a photo of that tattoo to send to your Well, maybe you said you were getting one tattoo while you were in Melbourne, and as you were taking a photo of that tattoo to send to your partner, maybe Aaron, he was like, and what's that other one on your calf?
Starting point is 01:12:32 And I hadn't told him about that one. So you'd got – And then I said, wait till you turn around. There's two more on the back. Right. So you got a bit carried away. I got a bit carried away. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Okay. But again, it's not like – It's not. I don't need his permission. He was just like, what's happening? Yeah. Okay. But again, it's not like. It's not, I don't need his permission. He doesn't have. He was just like, what's happening? Yeah. Or maybe you put your house on the market and you're like, we're moving.
Starting point is 01:12:51 You do find that with some couples though. There's one that just is in charge and they just make a decision. Hey, I booked flights for us to go to Australia. I've just brought a new car. You'll love it. Yeah. Wait, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:03 That's a very expensive car. I feel like that's something we would have talked about. We would have discussed that as a team. Yeah. I know. Can we go back to talking
Starting point is 01:13:12 about brown people with greeny blue eyes, please? Wow! They're the best people! Okay, so we need you to call now if you're a brown person with greeny... No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:13:23 No, we don't need you to call. God, I'm trying to drive here. Sorry. We want you to DM us your pictures if you're a brown person with greeny... No, no, no, no, sorry. No, you're off track. God, I'm trying to drive here. We want you to DM us your pictures if you are a brown person with green eyes. But what we want you to do, listeners, is to text us 9696 or call 0800DARLS.M. What is the thing that you did without telling your partner first? Or your partner did without telling you and you hit the roof. What's this? 0800DARLS.M.
Starting point is 01:13:43 This is the child I adopted for us. Okay, that's something you discuss with your partner. I think so. 0800-DARLS.M is the number 9696. I'll get the ball rolling. Okay. I'll kick this rock down the hill and create an avalanche. My dad took a job in Nelson and didn't tell my mum we lived in Dunedin.
Starting point is 01:13:58 He just came home one day and said, guess where we're moving? Dad, no. Dad, that's a discussion as a family. That's a discussion. Dad, you're crazy. You're crazy, Dad. Although's a discussion as a family. That's a discussion. Dad, you're crazy. You're crazy, Dad. Although Nelson is beautiful. You know, I've lived there.
Starting point is 01:14:09 It's a lovely place. And I knew this one was going to happen. My partner decided to get another girlfriend without telling me. Yeah, that's fair. All right, give us a call. Well, the woman got eye colour changing surgery without telling her husband. Let's not get into the eye surgery bit. Just went home and said, I've got blue eyes now, by the way.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah blue eyes now, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you are beautiful no matter what they say. But we want to know what you did without telling your partner first. Some of these? I know. Or maybe your partner just arrived home
Starting point is 01:14:35 and was like, I've got a new look. Amy, what happened? So my ex sitting at the dinner table, nice meal, looked up, thought something was different and realised that he'd got a toupee glued to his head without telling me. I beg your pardon, ma'am. He's wearing a toupee.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Wait, did he acknowledge it or was he like, what are you talking about? No, he did once I mentioned it, but he wasn't going to, I don't think. I do declare, madam, what an unusual move. I mean, you do see people that wear toupees and they, yeah, it's just odd. The modern ones are, like, amazing. They can be, like, incredible. But that's something you see your partner, like, I don't like my hair, I'm going to go get a toupee.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Was there any indication that a toupee was on the horizon? There was talk about it, but they're, like, five grand for the good ones. Yeah, the good ones are amazing, eh? I was at Look Sharp yesterday. They've got much cheaper ones. Yeah, they actually, though. I reckon you'd be able to tell. No, it said that no one will be able to tell that you're not the Beatles.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Wait, so Amy, because you said you're eggs, so obviously you're not still together, but how long did he rock the tube for? Oh, probably still now, I would say. Oh, wow. Did he glue it on or take it off at night? No, it stayed on until you had to, it was disgusting.
Starting point is 01:15:48 You had to, like, unpick it and then you glue it back on every couple of weeks. Every couple of weeks. Oh, no. Amy, what are your thoughts on bald brothers? I'm fine with bald brothers. Yeah. Good. You didn't, like, chuck out some chuck out some like you know I'm just thinking
Starting point is 01:16:05 he might have been sitting there and you're like oh man that hairy man he's doing it for me that hairy head and he would have been like oh man nothing like that
Starting point is 01:16:12 yeah you're like god I can't stand Jason Statham oh yeah yeah yeah tell you what who's the worst
Starting point is 01:16:20 Fletcher Vaughn from the radio disgusting Amy thank you Kerry is this you or your ex that turned up? It's me. It's you.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Okay. What did you turn up with? Well, oh, I'm sorry. I got a dog. It's what I turned up with. And you didn't tell your partner? I didn't tell my partner. I didn't.
Starting point is 01:16:41 Well, it was a birthday surprise for myself. Listen, Kerry, you sound crazy. This is something you discussed with your partner. It wasn't something I discussed at all. We just, I went out with my kids. It was like a weekday and I
Starting point is 01:16:58 was like pulling out the kids. I was like, alright, come on, let's go. We went to Queenstown, grabbed a puppy for $4,000. No! At least there was a rescue. come on, let's go. We went to Queenstown, grabbed a puppy for $4,000. No! Yeah. We meant to say grab a puppy. At least there was a rescue is what I was going to say.
Starting point is 01:17:10 No, no, we've got to figure it out. What breed of dog are we talking? It was a miniature dachshund. A little sausage dog. A little saucy dog. A mini saucy. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:21 I'm guessing that thing ain't cheap to insure. No. You've got it insured, right? Oh, of course. Of course. The one. And so how long did it take the partner to come around to the little sausage dog? So it probably took about two weeks for him to kind of come around.
Starting point is 01:17:37 But now they're like inseparable. Okay. So you won. It was a good investment. You won. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yes, I feel like I won.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Keep your tits coming in. Thanks, Kerry. If someone spends $4,000 of your money, you've got to enjoy it. You've got to make use of it, right? Keep your tits coming in. 9696 0800. Dials it in. What did you do without telling your partner?
Starting point is 01:18:00 Want to know the things you did without telling your partner? Maybe you arrived home with a new look, a new sausage dog. Oh, hang on. Someone with brown skin and green eyes has sent a picture to the FVH Instagram. So if we've just... Right. Pause. Okay, right.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Get that up. Pause. Where's that? Just getting a little sidetracked here. Pause. Georgia Burt joins us as well. Georgia Stewart, sorry, now. Kielta.
Starting point is 01:18:23 She's from Christchurch, so... So that K where she stands on the whole brown skin, green eyes thing. That was a really brave move. I used it. No, it really upsets your parents. Yeah, but that's why they do it. That's why the Christchurch girls date the Fijian fellow in town with the local rugby team. Yeah, yeah. Keep going.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Keep going. Rock dad up. But daddy plays for Darfield. I actually used to support Darfield. Listen to this. I don't bloody know about this. I'm bloody torn. He's a fantastic winger, but, you know, thighs.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Jeez, is that Joe Burt we've got on the phone, eh? I know. What is a Flemish giant rabbit? It's where they're big-ass floppy-eared rabbits. I sent my husband a picture of a Flemish giant rabbit up for adoption while he was at work. He did not message me back saying, don't get that Flemeared rabbit. I sent my husband a picture of a Flemish giant rabbit up for adoption while he was at work. He did not message me back saying don't get that Flemish giant rabbit.
Starting point is 01:19:07 So an hour later he got a picture of our newborn Flemish giant rabbit in between our kids in the car. I don't think that, yeah, I don't think a non-reply
Starting point is 01:19:14 is consent to buy a Flemish giant rabbit. Yeah. My mother-in-law went and bought a new car and didn't say anything to my father-in-law whose other car
Starting point is 01:19:23 was a work-owned car. My husband and I are living with him at the moment. It was awkward AF when he realised what she had done. My brother-in-law got himself and his wife new jobs in a new region, and he sold their house all in 24 hours and didn't tell her. Now, you'll remember at the start of that sentence, I just said he got her a job too. So the catch, their house that he sold was in the region that they were now moving to for new jobs.
Starting point is 01:19:49 He sold was in the region too. They must have owned a house in the region. I mean, if you're just one of those laid back, do whatever people tell you to do people, then that's probably perfect. My dad retired at 50 without telling my mum he was retiring and he let my mum pay the mortgage
Starting point is 01:20:05 until she was in her 70s when she retired. Oh my gosh. Call me old fashioned but that's not very chivalrous. My mum took my dad to an open home. It was a very heavy
Starting point is 01:20:18 renovation problem. He was like, nah, I'm not really up for it. Little did he know he already owned it the day before. What? So she's like, come to an open
Starting point is 01:20:25 home, hoping that he'll be like, yes, yes, yes. And she'll be like, great. I'll refund. I did it. I've done it. I'll sign the papers. My husband bought a bus from the South Island to do up as a house bus to travel. We are not DIYers. And we hate camping. Pretty well, he got the bus. It's like a campground on
Starting point is 01:20:41 wheels, you know. Stop taking birth control. I made a baby without telling my husband, but he knows how it works. So is that my fault or his? Oh, my God. Actually, it takes two to ten to go. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:20:55 My partner came home from a week away at a block course to a racehorse that I purchased. Still do not know why he was so surprised. Yeah, but you shouldn't be surprised. It's horse people. It's horse girls. Yeah. Here's another one. And they come into the house and they've got a smile and they. Yeah, but you shouldn't be surprised. It's horse people. It's horse girls. Here's another one.
Starting point is 01:21:06 And they come into the house and they've got a smile and they're like, guess what I did? Yes. 95% of the time it's bought another horse. Here's another one. My uncle came home and asked, why the hell is there a horse float in the driveway? And my auntie said, to move the horse that I bought.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Oh, God. So not only also has the trailer. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What? On what? Well, I'm going to rephrase trailer. Okay. Oh my God. Oh my God. What? Born what? Well, I'm going to rephrase it.
Starting point is 01:21:29 Okay. Because they're very blunt. And when I read this out in a Vaughan Smith rephrase, you'll see maybe you'll be able to guess what happened. I was at a work conference in Sydney. I had recently turned 40 and I was like, heck, why not? I didn't consult my partner before I got genitalia piercing. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Okay. I mean, your body. That is from a woman. Yeah. Okay. Because she specifically names a part. Do those beep in the metal detector? Or the one where you put your arms up?
Starting point is 01:21:57 No, because my earrings don't. Certain ones don't. Yeah, but if her one ever beeps in the metal detector, get rid of it. There's a natural outcome. Okay. Yeah. But if hers beeps in the metal detector and the guy who's on customs
Starting point is 01:22:08 tries to find where the middle is, he'll never be able to find it. Yeah, that was good. Really good. Where? Georgia's got yours. Where? Yeah, she's there now. That's where the piercing was.
Starting point is 01:22:18 It's right there at the top. Where? And he's like, I just can't see. Where's the middle? No, there's nothing down there. Well, congratulations to you, podcast listeners. You've reached the end. So I would assume if you've listened all this way through,
