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.

Welcome to the show
Fleshwood and Hayley at the top six is coming up
You might have heard Bryn mention Run It Straight.
The new game.
The dumbest thing. Just the
dumbest idea. It's kind of like
Bull Rush, right, but on steroids. But one on one
it's like a game of chicken and two cars
in a movie where someone pulls out of the
way except there's no cars, there's just you
and your brain stem and
very hard impact. It's all the worst
part about contact sports without a ball.
Yeah.
It's so dumb.
But I've got the top six things that are better for your brain than run it straight.
Some safer alternatives.
Some safer alternatives.
Maybe.
Yeah.
We'll see.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
This is a survey out of the UK looking at first date habits.
Now, when I think about first dates, I'm going to a bar and having a drink.
That's just my go-to.
Just go to a bar.
But that adds up.
If you're doing a couple of those a week, he's very poor.
Honestly.
He's struggling.
No, I'm just saying.
Just a moment of silence for Fletcher's bank balance.
He's really, he's doing it tough out there.
You could have not had kids.
Go to givealittle.co.nz forward slash Fletcher's poor to donate.
No, I'm just saying though that when you do that a couple of times a week,
it adds up.
And as the man, you're paying.
Exactly.
Because chivalry.
So what do you reckon the alternative is?
Take them to the beach and crack open a cheap sixer?
I mean, yes, plenty.
I'd be stoked.
In summer, absolutely, maybe.
Not winter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You could set one of the bins on fire and just sit right there.
Oh, yeah, like a little bonfire.
Like a council brazier.
Check your local...
A council brazier?
No, what are they called?
Not brazier.
Not braziers.
Braziers.
A brazier's a bra thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A bra bra. No, apparently alternative for Gen Z's. A braziers, a bra thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bra bra.
No, apparently alternative for Gen Zs.
Her name's Barbara.
Barbara.
Barbara.
The alternative for Gen Zs is exercise, including running.
And according to this little questionnaire,
they interviewed Amazon workers,
like the website workers in the UK,
about their dating habits.
And the Gen Zs were saying that they agreed
they would prefer to go on a run as the perfect first date.
No.
18 to 24-year-olds, then go to the pub for a drink.
Really?
Like a walk at the most?
A walk is nice.
Because a run, you're going to be like,
and they're going to see you sweaty and all that.
And it's a lot
and if it's not your style. So
it's due to the changing attitudes
towards alcohol with Gen Z which is
only a good thing.
Because they've grown up with their parents and grandparents
and just thought. Yeah why is your face
so red? Why is your face
so red and you're so unwell?
Why are you always puffy?
Why do you look so like full of water all the time?
I don't want to look like that.
So their alcohol usage is down.
They prefer active dates.
They said a run is an ideal first date.
No alcohol needs to be involved.
Sitting in a bar is expensive.
They don't need alcohol as a social lubricant.
It's your worst nightmare.
Here they go.
Tips for activities for the first date if you're going to go for a run.
Tip one, use deodorant.
Of course.
Because you're going to stink.
You're going to be sweaty.
Tip two, don't stress about looks.
Full confidence.
You know, you don't need to have a full face of makeup.
Wear what's comfortable when you're going for this run is tip three.
Tip four, no headphones.
Imagine.
Should we go for a run on our first date?
That would be a classic Gen Z thing, just having headphones in but still talking to you.
Yeah.
It wasn't a date.
I went recently with the headphones thing.
I went on a run with a friend who was in town.
He was like, should we go for a run?
I was like, this is madness.
Yeah.
Imagine telling us 20 years ago we would go for a run for fun.
And so we went for a run and halfway around he was like, can you stop talking?
I was like, why?
He's like, because I cannot talk.
I've run with one before.
He's a talker.
I don't talk and run.
Yeah, when we did that walk up the beach,
you talk, talk, talk.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah.
I'm just like trying to breathe the whole time.
Yeah, and he was like, stop talking.
I can't talk back.
I was like, I can just talk and you don't have to talk back if you want.
And he's like, I think you should just
start talking to yourself.

Harry Styles, in the UK,
is the fourth richest person under 40.
That's right.
I'm doing quite well for myself.
Do you know what somebody nailed it?
You sound like Philomena Cunk.
You know the...
Oh, right, yeah, but she'd be
higher. Yeah.
But she's also a bit more monotone.
Yeah. Uso Azaria because he's
chill because I'm the fourth richest person
under 40. So the Sunday
Times in the UK
do the rich list, much like the Forbes
rich list. So this would be
the fourth wealthiest celebrity under 40
in the UK. Yeah.
Now, I don't know the other three
Is it going to be
influencers, right?
Yeah, maybe.
But I don't,
it's behind a paywall.
Is it a big,
I don't care.
It's behind a paywall.
Oh, don't,
we're not paying for it.
It's behind a paywall.
I mean, we can all chip in.
I reckon ChatGPT might know.
It might know.
The fourth member
of the show,
oh, actually,
the fifth member,
Hayley's Pimple,
then ChatGPT. Yeah, please don't downgrade my pimple. I'm sorry, Pimple. Fletch, Vaughan, Hayley, Pimple, ChatGPT might know. It might know. The fourth member of the show. Oh, actually, the fifth member. Hayley's Pimple, then ChatGPT.
Yeah, please don't downgrade my pimple. I'm sorry, Pimple.
Fletch, Vaughan, Hayley, Pimple, ChatGPT.
This is based on Harry Styles' earnings from January 2023 to March 2000,
sorry, 2024.
Yeah.
So it works out at £125,000 a day, his worth.
His account's now, and they work this out from like all the tax returns.
Because they must all be public.
Like here, it's private,
right? Thank God!
Do you remember years ago when
members or people that worked at the IRD were
like looking at celebrities
bank details?
You can't do that! It was so long ago!
It was like Holmesy and Jonah Lomberlin.
They leaked how much money Paul Holmes was making.
It was wild.
That's private information.
So they worked out that Harry Styles' accounts
hold a total of 143 million pounds,
which makes him the fourth wealthiest under 40,
an estimated fortune all up of 225 million.
That tour he did was huge.
Yeah, it was.
Huge, huge, huge.
And he has kicked off a pretty good acting career.
So out of there, from his live shows, from his touring,
they worked out 86 million pounds,
75 came from concert tickets,
and 10.8 million on merch.
Yeah.
Is what he made.
Yeah, the girlies, man.
The girlie pops, they want merch.
So despite making that rich list,
Harry Styles is still 145 million pounds behind Ed Sheeran,
who is worth 370 million.
He's at number two.
My dude.
Not bad for a bloody nerd, eh?
Not bad.
Reality star, Georgia.
I say that with love, by the way.
Do you know what I mean?
He's just a feeble nerd.
It's not an insult anymore.
Because how old is Ed Sheeran?
He's under 40, right? Oh, yeah, dude. Okay. I think it would be, how old would it be? He's just a fearful nerd. It's not an insult anymore. Because how old is Ed Sheeran? He's under 40, right?
Oh, yeah, dude.
Okay.
I think it would be,
how old is he?
He'd be 30,
late 30s.
Okay, yeah.
So I know Ed Sheeran's,
Ed Sheeran's not younger than me.
But Ed Sheeran is not number one.
Ed Sheeran's younger than me.
Georgia Toffolo,
who's a reality star
who was on,
was it Essex?
The only way is Essex.
Must have business.
Made in Chelsea.
Yeah, made in Chelsea.
Must have businesses
though because
she's worth
425 mil
her old man's
in scrap metal
yeah
so
everyone knows
a trustworthy
scrap metal dealer
by the way
she was born in
1994
well that's
impossible
it's only 1998
it's crazy
as a four year old
she's earned that much money
yeah made in Chelsea
shit but I don't how that yeah she's earned that much money. Yeah, made in Chelsea.
Shit, but I don't... Yeah, she's obviously used her money very wisely.
Yeah.
Because she did a couple of reality shows.
Socials.
I reckon you'd shove an OnlyFans in there, wouldn't you?
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, there's an OnlyFans.
Oh, yeah, surely there's an OnlyFans.
That's a lot of money for an OnlyFans, though.
Well, she must have a great rig.
She must have a great rig. She must have a stellar
rig. ZM's Fletchbourne
and Hayley. From your
local community Facebook page
this is the Top 6.
Hi there. I would like
to think no one is going to do the
Run It Straight competition after
various experts have said
it's not a good idea.
No. Run It is a competition built around the actions in rugby, rugby league, NFL, AFL.
I've just had a pop-up ad for Paradise Prosecco.
Now that's gone.
And AFL.
I don't think AFL's as much contact as the previously mentioned sports.
No.
No.
They sort of dance around.
They're quite a little athletic.
They're quite a little elves.
Yes.
Sprightly. Yeah, we do know now, we see some of the rugby players.
Dude, CTA is no joke.
You've watched the documentaries about the American footballers that basically write notes saying,
please study my brain and shoot themselves through the heart.
What about that?
Do you remember that Netflix show about that guy,
the famous football player, and he killed all those people?
He killed, yeah.
And they were like, it was all the brain trauma.
CTA, and then the brain scans, and it was, yeah.
Oh, Jesus, yeah.
Just the videos are just, oh.
Oh, darling.
So.
So this Play It Straight competition is.
Run It.
No, Play It Straight, I think, is a music charity.
Run It Straight is where you run at each other
and for prize money.
Basically,
last man standing.
Yep.
So I've got the top six things
better for your brain
than run it straight.
Number six on the list,
licking a chainsaw.
Better for your brain.
I mean,
you only lose your tongue.
Yeah,
well,
it depends how hard you lick it.
Probably a bit of your face
and lip,
I imagine.
Maybe your nose.
If it grabs in,
it might honk into the brain.
Okay,
number five on the list. I'll move on. Please. might... Oh, okay. Number five on the list.
I'll move on.
That was a graphic one.
Number five on the list of the top six things better for your brain than run it straight.
Putting the sharp end of a screwdriver in your mouth, shutting your eyes and just running around.
Because it might not connect with anything.
You might not hit anything.
But when you run it straight, the idea is you're hitting something.
Yeah.
Another human that has built a brick shed house.
Is this just going to be like a
Saw movie or something?
Not really from here on out. Okay, good.
I top loaded it with
Saw 1. Number 4 on the list
of the top 6 things better for your brain than run it
straight. Calling someone twice your size a stupid little bitch.
Just
and a stranger as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One that looks fiery
yeah
yeah
and you just say
oi
oi
stupid little bitch
I think I would laugh
if somebody said that to me
yeah me too
a little kid
I like your tude
what's wrong with you
and then do that boot
from the 300
remember when
he's perhaps
never looked hotter
when Gerard Butler
was like
this is Sparta
boom and boots that dude into the bottomless pit because he insulted his missus Remember when, he's perhaps never looked hotter, when Gerard Butler was like, this is Sparta.
Boom!
And boosted that dude into the bottomless pit because he insulted his missus.
Heck yeah.
Number three on the list of the top six,
the things better for your brain than run it straight.
Pushing the Q-tip too far into your ear
when you're having a clean out,
when you're not supposed to be having a clean out,
but it hurts so good.
It hurts so good.
Just like a couple more millimetres.
Number two on the list of the top six things better for your brain than run it straight.
Staring at the sun during a solar eclipse,
even though you were 100% told not to stare at the sun during the solar eclipse.
I reckon that's got to be one of my favourite Trump moments of all time.
When he did that and then didn't.
Oh, no, it was the path where the eclipse went across
and the Google results were,
why do I have a headache?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So good.
And number one on the list of the top six things
better for your brain than run it straight.
Listening to an entire Joe Rogan podcast.
Only just.
It's only just better for your brain.
You know.
It's not great for the brain,
but it's just better than running into another.
It chips away.
150 kg man made of pure muscle.
That is today's top six.
I know we just touched briefly on the This Is Sparta kick from Jared Butler in the movie 300, which absolutely warrants a rewatch, I think. Someone just messaged in, oh my God, my partner was obsessed with the This Is Sparta.
And one night he asked me if it would be alright if when I sat
in a chair he just softly did it.
Like a wheelie chair.
Yeah. And I was like, okay.
And he This Is Sparta'd me and
the chair fell over and onto a heater
and the heater fell flat down on the floor
and it caught everything on fire.
Oh! I mean, that's pretty rad.
That's pretty cool. Yeah. That is pretty cool.
It's funny. Good yarn.
Funny.
Hopefully they're okay.
Yeah.

Huge moment for producer Carwin, and we want to mark it.
Producer Carwin, you have some news to share.
Wow, that makes it sound way more exciting than it is.
Well, we're excited for you on the show.
Thank you, thank you.
She's engaged.
Are you engaged?
Oh.
No, now she's just gutted that she's not engaged.
See, what you've done there is a woman who I think quite happily would get engaged,
you've highlighted that he hasn't asked.
She's not.
You've highlighted he hasn't asked.
No, I'm never going to tell you that I've got engaged.
I'm just going to wait for you to notice.
That hurts.
I love an engagement. I'm famous at to wait for you to notice. That hurts. I love an engagement.
I'm famous at crying when people get engaged.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Love is dead?
Love's dead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, right.
No, slightly relationship based,
but I've added myself a legacy contact via Apple.
So the legacy contact,
is this the person that can sift through
all your crap?
Oh, when you put it like that.
When you put it like that.
Yeah, so obviously
Apple accounts are very hard to get into.
Like, that's great. But if you pass away,
how is someone getting into
your phone to like, maybe they need
my friend's numbers to invite them to the funeral.
Maybe they need to remove some stuff.
Yeah. Because it's not like the good old days, to your phone to like, maybe they need my friend's numbers to invite them to the funeral. Maybe they need to remove some stuff.
Yeah.
So maybe some shit needs to get deleted.
Because it's not like the good old days,
throwing the phone into the ocean doesn't wipe it, does it?
The cloud.
No.
The cloud's up above.
The cloud's up above.
It's all there.
The cloud.
No, and so I learned about this on TikTok yesterday
and I was like,
well, who am I going to do?
And in fairness to me,
my mum lives in a different city.
So putting my mum,
although she doesn't use Apple,
wouldn't really make a lot of sense.
No, because who's she going to ring to be like,
now I have forgotten the password.
Exactly.
And so I've put my partner.
But you guys think it's crazy.
Wow, that's too soon.
Legacy.
It is too soon.
She'd be a best friend.
Until you're married.
Yeah, I think I'd go my best friend, Jess.
There's nothing she doesn't know.
Or either of these two. Nothing they don't know. I'd go my best friend, Jess. There's nothing she doesn't know, or either of these two.
Nothing they don't know.
I mean, Shannon would be my backup, but I...
Whoa.
Whoa.
I made it.
I was wondering.
I was sitting here kind of awkward.
I was like, okay, your mum's been mentioned.
Your partner's been mentioned.
You know, I'm here.
We know everything about each other.
Like, I know everything bad about...
Tell us some of it.
Wow, best bad thing?
Or you use your season.
Say some of it. Say three of is Shannon. Say some of it.
Say three of them.
Because everyone thinks
Carmen's just a straight, pure sweetie.
No, she's the nice one in our friendship.
I don't know why I'm sort of like,
oh yeah, okay, I see that.
That can't be true.
But I will say,
it sends your legacy contact a text.
And so I thought that
that had happened last night.
It hadn't.
It's just happened now,
which means my partner is waking up to a text that says,
I'm sharing an access key with you,
which you can use in the access of my iCloud data
in the event of my death.
What's going to stop him doing it before your death?
Yeah, like, I could trust.
It's trust and love and nothing to hide.
I mean, I also have just realised he does know my, like,
like my PIN, so it doesn't...
I guess he doesn't really need this.
He could just be at the morgue kind of holding the phone up to your face.
That's true. And then if it doesn't work,
use the pin. Unless you've died in a brutal face-based
accident. Yeah.
Or do what they do on prison break
and just cut off their thumb and just keep it in your pocket.
Oh, yeah. For the thumb-based ones.
But it's all face now.
Hardly any of them are thumb now, are they?
But we as FV&H, we all agree, eh?
We're going to sort each other out and we know the things to remove.
Which drawers to go into.
Fletcher's apartment's got one of those magnesium strips.
You just pull a thing and everything gets...
Everything goes on fire.
It's real hot.
It wipes it.
Yeah.
The whole place down.
We'll get Muz out of there, obviously.
Oh, yeah.
Obviously.
Obviously.
And can I have your Simon Lewis Ward's Explorers?
We'll split them between the girls.
He's got three.
One each.
One each.
She's a memorial.
They'll be like a survivor magnesium fire, though.
I can't actually remember who gets everything in my will.
I kind of leave it open each week.
It's not important.
I open it as well.
That felt blackmailing. No. It felt a bit blackmail week. It's not important. I open it in the will. That felt blackmail-y.
No.
It felt a bit blackmail-y.
It's more leverage-y.
Just a reminder.
I don't call it blackmail.
I call it leverage.
I think you'll find
once leverage goes past
a certain point
it becomes blackmail.
It very quickly
turns into blackmail.
I'm just like,
who's going to buy me
coffees this morning?
It's going to be me.
My death friend
will be me.
You're on my will this week.
It'll be my privilege
to buy you a coffee.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole is your thoughts on cold canned spaghetti.
When I say cold, not been in the fridge, just room temperature.
It's been sitting in a tin.
Why is that worse?
It's worse.
I think it's worse.
Straight from the pantry.
Room temperature, it's worse.
I don't know how my daughters got onto this.
But.
Feral.
They are absolutely loving tin spaghetti straight from the tin.
It just made me feel really sick.
They said, and I've got to admire it.
They were like, less dishes.
I was like, I can't fault you on that, eating it straight out of the tin.
I hope they've been careful of the rim.
I found August eating a tin of skin in her room yesterday
and she was getting her tongue
No!
I was like, August,
you're going to cut that tongue right off.
It's not as bad as when you used to have to use a can opener.
The pulley tabs, it's cleaner.
Yeah, totally.
And that's the other thing
they've learned to use the pulley tabs.
See, now, upskilling.
But I put a video on Instagram
of Indy the other night
we were having chicken burgers
and she was kind of like,
before she took each bite,
spurning a bit more
cold spaghetti
onto the chicken burger.
What is up?
Yuck.
That's so feral.
Yuck.
Do they know that they have
access to lovely food?
Dude, fruit, vegetables,
produce.
Yeah.
Beautiful home kill meats.
Yeah.
You know, we know
the origins of that meat.
It lived a good life.
Spooning cold spaghetti
onto it.
And it's got to be Waddy's
because I was like
what about this one?
They were like
don't you dare
I don't think I've had
No I wouldn't go
I don't think I've had spaghetti
For years
I do baked beans
Baked beans every now and again
No baked beans are gross
No but
Every now and again
They'll be at a buffet
And I'll spoon some on
Some scrambled eggs
And they're like
Okay that's alright
I have for dinner
We call it truckers dinner
Get toast
Baked beans
Bit of cheese
Fried egg
You're better than that
I'm not
Baked beans Babes I'm not I'd eat canned spaghetti Over canned baked beans, bit of cheese, fried egg. You're better than that. I'm not. Baked beans? Babes, I'm not.
I'd eat canned spaghetti over canned baked beans
any day. They're so pasty and when you bite them
they feel dry. It feels like chalk. They're both very
bad for you. Oh, they're so delicious.
The other day they were like,
and we hear there's some that come with little
sausages in them. I was like,
don't eat those cold. No.
That meat in a can's never a great idea. So, the
question today. Your thoughts on cold canned spaghetti.
And I am going to say ha, ha, ha to my daughter who said,
I bet more people love cold spaghetti that don't.
No.
82% said, ooh, no.
That's how gross she is.
I thought that would be higher, actually.
18% said, yum, here for it.
Because I heard from a lot of people in response to that Instagram story,
the pro cold spaghetti.
Ben. What did they say? Yum here for it. Because I heard from a lot of people in response to that Instagram story about pro cold spaghetti. Ben, not quite as much as Vaughan's daughter Indy
eating it out of a tin with a fork,
but it's not a bad nibble before you heat it up
when you first open the can.
It's exactly what I'd call a bad nibble.
No, they'll say it's a good nibble.
No.
On its own, no thanks, but cold spaghetti on toast is really nice.
It's all a hot toast and a cold spaghetti.
No.
Is it the contrast of taste?
You literally only have to microwave it for like a minute or so.
Yeah.
It's a girl.
Ali says, makes me feel sick even thinking about it.
Even hot canned spaghetti is disgusting.
The thought of it cold makes me dry reach.
Yeah.
Marie said, would make sandwiches with it as a kid.
That's what a lot of people said.
It's only good in a toasted sandwich or a mousetrap.
No cheese. And the toasted sandwich with the press that seals it. That's what a lot of people said. It's only good in a toasted sandwich or a mousetrap. No cheese.
And the toasted sandwich with the press that seals it.

And you bite it.
Oh, you'd nearly die from the volcanic explosion.
Yum.
No, it's, um, lots of people said the thickest white bread you can get,
lots of butter, cold spaghetti.
Yuck!
Not cooked.
Straight sandwich.
My childhood camping menu was cold tin food.
Parents had us well trained.
Saved them heating up.
Yeah.
Can't fault them there.
All my kids eat it cold from the can, but it's absolutely disgusting, said Laura.
Jack said cold-baked beans are elite, too.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a cold child with rocks in their head.
That's if you need to warm it up, you're probably out of a cold child.
Yeah.
With a singleton.
Half the can into a toast, the other half straight into my mouth, said Kelly.
Ooh, Kelly.
I thought it was gross until I saw Indy
eat it, and then I tried it, and it's absolutely
legit, said Henry.
She's converting. She's
an influencer. She's a spaghetti
influencer. A cold spaghetti influencer.
Straight out of the can, saves
any double handling, says Timmy. No utensils
required. He's drinking it.
He's drinking it. That dude's a butcher, too. Slils required. He's drinking it. He's drinking it.
That dude's a butcher too.
Sloppy.
He's happy with a knife.
That's disgusting.
This is insane.

we'll just say kindy kid, eh?
We'll just say a kindy kid.
A kindy kid took jello shots to kindy
and gave them to some of the other kids
because they just thought it was jelly.
They had vodka in them.
They had to call an ambulance.
See when I said funny but not really funny?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Funny, funny, not funny.
Funny for us.
My mum loves a jello shot. I love yeah, yeah. Funny, funny, not funny. Funny for us. My mum loves a Jell-O shot.
Does she?
I love Jell-O shots.
Christine loves a Jell-O shot.
Wait, do you mean
she loves jelly
or she loves to go to like
No, no, she was like
when we went to
when it was like
we're going back in time
but when it was like
my group of friends
21st and like
family friends
and she'd go
and someone would bring
out Jell-O shots
she'd be like
oh, I love these.
Because they just
swoop in like a little ball.
You know how Wallace off Wallace and Gromit goes,
oh, cheese, and his fingers go like that.
My mum would be like, oh, the Jell-O shots are out.
And her fingers would go like that.
Yeah, and she'd rock like three or four of them
and be like, I don't know, what's going on with me?
I just had a bit of jelly.
So a kindy kid brought in Jell-O shots,
and that was in America.
In the UK.
Was it all right?
Is everyone okay?
Yeah, everyone's fine.
Also this week, at the end of last week
a primary school was evacuated
because a kid brought a grenade
a World War II grenade in
in their bag. I've heard of this, I've heard of
kids bringing, yes
weird old artillery to
Yeah, and so the teacher
they took the grenade out back
of the school, the school was evacuated and they came in. Just pop it on the lawn and walk away. Yeah, and then the teacher, they took the grenade out back of the school. The school was evacuated and they came in.
Just pop it on the lawn and walk away.
Yeah, and then they found that it was safe,
or that they detonated it or whatever.
But yeah, there was a bit of panic there.
Already messages coming in on things people took to school.
This is what we want to know this morning is,
did you take something to school?
Because kids, they don't realise.
They just think they're taking in a massage wand,
but it's mum's fun toy.
Yeah, mum's satisfier.
See, what we do, kids, is we turn it on
and then we put it on the table and we have races
to see which one's going to fall off.
My mum's got one too.
My mum's got a massive black one.
What did you, didn't you?
Yeah, when I remember,
because we used to go fishing
for cockabullies,
is that,
I don't know what
their actual name is,
cockabullies.
The tiny little swimmers
in creeks.
Right.
And me and my brother
would always catch them
in those massive
Just Juice containers
and one day I just decided
I wanted to share them
with the school
so I put them in this
like little container
and I took them to the school
and my teacher was like,
what? I don't reckon you needed to have brought them in and she was like, this isn't container and I took them to the school and my teacher was like what?
I don't reckon you needed to have brought them in
and she was like
this isn't good
so she took the lid off
and during the day
they jumped out
and they killed themselves.
Oh no.
They jumped out, yeah.
Oh no.
That's grim.
Yeah, that's pretty grim.
You kind of killed the show.
Kind of killed the vibe
but we were having
such a great time
until
suicidal cockabillies.
The fish genocide, yes. Someone texted saying I took my cat to primary school to this day I can't believe We were having such a great time until... Until suicidal cockabillies. The suicidal cockabillies.
Someone texted saying,
I took my cat to primary school.
To this day, I can't believe my mother allowed it.
Clearly, I wore the pants.
That's not the only person.
What, your mum let you take a cat?
Wait, the cat let you take it?
My cat would be like...
No way, I'm not going anywhere.
When I was young,
I took my cat's four kittens to school to rehome them.
I got in trouble and the principal
kept the kittens in her office all day.
Oh, she just wanted to play with the kittens.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Call us.
0800 dials at M.
We're already getting messages in.
Text story 9696.
What did you take to school that you shouldn't have?
Having had kids at kindy, they can't fathom what they need to take.
I don't know how they got the jello shots carrying a tray because you could never with the Jell-O shots
unless they had the lids.
You couldn't just fill your bag with them.
Yeah.
So I'm wondering the logistics of that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, a lot of calls and a lot of texts.
Brooke, what did you take to school?
So, first of all,
long time listener,
first time...
Brooke!
Brooke!
Brooke!
Brooke!
Welcome to the show. Welcome to first time... Welcome to the show.
Welcome to the show.
Welcome to the show.
I'm thinking also of livening up because usually it's just... I'm thinking of giving it the full...
Really, like going all out.
We do a party.
Could we add some...
Is that Fletch?
Is that your vibe?
That would be your jurisdiction to speak on, Fletch.
Maybe discuss that after the show.
Now, Brooke, what did you take to school?
So when I was seven, eight years old,
I was in the woodshed and I found some certain magazines.
They weren't Dolly, they weren't Woman's Day,
they were a man's happy time magazine.
A man's happy time magazine?
That was actually my favourite brand of Dirty Mag.
Yeah, Man's Happy Time.
And you took a porno magazine to school.
I took five of them.
Oh!
Dishing them out?
Okay, what did you do with them?
Because I remember this happening at school.
Please, go for it.
So at lunchtime,
I decided I was going to take everything out of my bag.
I was at a school with only about 40, 45 children.
So it was a little country school.
They've never seen anything like this in their lives.
That's big city bush.
It was no shit.
Oh, sorry.
You're all right.
Everybody that day was my best friend.
Really?
Curiosity.
Because of curiosity, right?
The teachers were trying to figure out where everyone was at lunchtime because no one was on the playground.
We were all down the backfield reading these magazines.
Oh, that's a red flag for teachers of all the kids.
It's like when the tide goes out before a tsunami.
They're like, panic!
The children!
Where are the children?
Where are they?
They're promoted to the backfield!
Did you get caught?
But you guys were reading, so they can't be too angry.
Yeah, that's true.
Did you put that in your reading log for the week?
Yeah.
No, no.
Definitely wasn't recommended on that one.
Did you get caught, though?
Yeah, we did.
I also then, because I'm coming up to 35,
back then, you know, it wasn't illegal to punish your children.
Oh, so you got a smack, got a hiding.
Yeah, you got a smack.
Nice.
Oh, yeah.
It was, yeah.
My mother and dad were...
Did it ever cross your mind?
Because I remember it happening at a school,
a guy bought in his dad's dirty mags
and was cutting you out a page for 50 cents.
Oh my God, what a hustle.
Apart from the premium pages were $1 to $2.
That's like some shark tank shit.
If it's just boobies, it's 50 cents.
Boobies and bush, $1.
And then he'd go to the nerds,
he's like, you guys want to read some filth?
And then I'm also guessing dad got in trouble with mum
for stashing those out in the hay shed.
Oh yeah, totally.
We believe they may have been my older
brothers. Oh, okay.
Dad's pointing, he's
pointing, it's all...
It's the Spider-Man meme, everyone's pointing at everybody else.
Brooke, thank you. Anna,
what did you take to school that you shouldn't have?
I took some
coony coony pigs.
Cute. I'd be stoked if I was at school have? I took some coony coony pigs. Cute.
I'd be stoked if I was at school
and someone brought in some coony coonies.
Were you at a country school though?
No, just a school in West Auckland.
The teacher and I took them to all the classrooms
to show the kids
and they kept crapping all over the floor.
They do do that.
Wearing our coony coony pigs
the minute you took them up off the ground
is something that pigs don't them up off the ground assuming pigs
don't like being
off the ground.
Well yeah because
they don't hover
do they?
Well they don't
fly.
They don't fly.
That's the origin
of the saying.
When pigs fly
because pigs hate
being off the ground.
Wow Anna okay
so this was you
were allowed to
take them?
Yep.
Oh right okay.
Once your parents
are like yeah go on.
Did you backpack
them or did you
put them in your backpack
and walk in
carrying the coonies
pretty much
had one in the backpack
and one in my arm
oh my god
that's so cute
and the teacher came
and helped me
oh my god
that's warm
Anna thank you
some messages in
my son took one of those
one of those
wooden penis bottle openers
that you always bring back
from Thailand
oh my god
yes
and he was walking around
with it poking out of his pants.
He got in so much trouble.
Those things are so graphic.
You always see them in Bali and Thailand and stuff.
I'd like to see the carving workshop.
They must have a magnificent set of chisels.
Oh yeah, they must.
To get that nice, the head.
The head and the veins.
The head, yeah.
Really the detail.
The details.
Do you think they have some pictures on the wall to base them on?
Yeah, a replica.
And whose picture is it?
Yeah.
And do they know that Thailand and Bali are making a bang out of this,
out of their penis?
Out of their penis.
With a very bulbous head.
I want to bring your pet to school day.
I didn't have a pet,
so I just grabbed a random duck from down at the park.
Grabbed a duck?
The poor duck was totally befuddled,
but sat with me the whole day.
Befuddled!
It's a befuddled duck!
It sat with you the whole day!
It sat with him the whole day.
Now I'm fully adult,
at the age of 58,
I would love to take a duck to work
and just have a pet duck.
Yeah.
It would be quite nice
to have a little duck in studio.
They are smelly though.
They stink, eh?
Stinky poos.
My friend and I staged a whole pet day.
We said we wanted to organise a pet day
only because we wanted an excuse to bring our rabbits together
because we wanted them to have baby rabbits.
It was a success and we had so many baby rabbits.
It's terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I took my baby possum to school,
kept him in my school bag all day with a blanket,
nearly pulled it off,
but then doing show and tell on the bus on the way home,
he decided enough of the bag.
And at my stop,
mum had to come on the bus to recapture him
as he was running around the bus.
Those claws are sharp as hell.
Oh, possum, yuck.
Yeah.
God, there's so many here.
I took my dad's welding helmet to school
to watch a solar eclipse.
Dad was not pleased
because obviously he needs this for his work.
Here for work,, for work.
To save his eyes from the sparks.
I'm from the US originally. Exact same thing happened
at a primary school. A second grader brought in
a WW2.
How embarrassing.
World War II. I was like WWE.
World War II
undetonated hand grenade and we had to evacuate.
Waited six hours until they let us come back.
Good way of getting out
of half a school
most of school
yeah because remember
my high school was next
to the American embassy
and every time someone
did a bomb threat
we were like
thank you bye
a kid in my primary school class
smuggled their pet rat
to class one day
but didn't tell anybody
it got out of her bag
the teacher was petrified
and stomped it
imagine watching your teacher
go full American history
I know
yuck they are a pest Imagine watching your teacher go full American History X. I know.
Shaboom.
Yuck.
They are a pest.

Yesterday I was driving home on the, what is it, the 24?
No, 16.
State Highway 16.
Northwest, beautiful stretch of road. I love it.
It's my preferred motorway in Auckland, tell you what.
No offense to the southern.
Quick, quick, quick rank.
All right.
Northwestern, best motorway.
Second is the southwestern, the one that goes through the Waterview Tower.
What about the Wiley one in Christchurch?
No, we're not talking about Christchurch yet.
Okay, sorry.
We'll cover Christchurch soon.
What about the Wellington one by the harbour?
That's nice as well.
That motorway is a lovely stretch on a nice day.
Can't beat that motorway on a good day.
But it's thin. It's thin. Yeah, it that motorway on a good day. But it's thin.
It's thin.
Yeah, so we've already done this.
It's thin.
We have already done
what is your favourite stretch of road?
Okay, we have.
I think we need to revisit it.
But this is...
We're talking motorways.
If we're talking rural roads,
you're not going to beat your Arthur's Pass.
But State Highway 2,
on the way out of Wellington.
Yeah.
I'm just talking, it's nice.
Okay, anyway. Okay. Anyway.
Okay.
Okay.
Northwestern, southwestern.
The southern is last.
The southern sucks.
The Waikato Expressway.
No, but that's just out of Auckland.
It's beautiful.
That's in Waikato.
110.
110.
That's Waikato.
Don't climb that.
That's not Auckland.
I feel the wind in your hair.
Well, anyway.
Speaking of, so wind in your hair, right?
I was heading home on the beautiful North Western
and driving along
and I see this car in front of me. It was
just, it was like a
I think it was just a
Toyota Corolla, like just a car.
Wow, Bob's standard car. Just a
Toyota Corolla, New Zealand's one of New Zealand's
most popular cars. Oh no, no, I just mean
it was like. God, she's a Mazda snob now.
Aye, she is. a CX-60
it's beautiful
like a sunroof
so I was driving along
listening to my music
and then I see this car
in front
and I was like
oh my god
what's that
flapping out
the driver's side window
oh has she put her skirt
in the door
oh my god
honestly one of the most
embarrassing things
you could ever
do in your life
like when I get out of the car
and I see my
if I'm wearing a long skirt
and I see it's jammed,
I'm like,
why would this day
need to continue?
I told a lady at the light
seat that I pulled up
and I was like waving
to her while she saw me
and I went out the window
and she's like,
hello?
And I said,
your skirt's shut on the door.
She opened the door,
pulled it out
and couldn't eyeball me again.
No, no, no.
It's so,
I don't know why
it is mortifying.
It's so embarrassing.
It's not like it's your undies
calling the door.
No, but it's so shame. It's something so humiliating and then you have to walk around with a wet pad. It's so embarrassing. It's not like it's your undies caught in the door. No, but it's so shame.
It's something so humiliating
and then you have to walk around
with a wet pad.
It's wet.
It's wet.
Even if it's not raining,
if it's dry,
somehow it's wet now.
It's wet and it's stuck to your ankle
and you're like,
everyone knows.
It's the worst.
Oh my God, it's the worst.
No, it wasn't her skirt.
It was like,
like this sort of flappy,
fringy fabric.
And I was like,
okay,
what is that?
Oh,
take a closer look.
Now,
luckily I was going under the speed limit.
So I was able to increase to the speed limit to catch up.
Sure.
Just to get on the side of her.
Okay.
And I pull in and she is literally,
if you imagine grabbing the wheel,
right?
So straight,
sitting straight,
but leaning her whole upper
body out of the window so her head
was out of the window
and it was her hair. She had this amazing
long black bit here. Oh, she wasn't a golden
retriever?
Just checking at this stage, she wasn't a golden retriever.
And then I could see her other hand running through the
hair like this and it was... Oh, she's drying her hair.
She was drying her hair. She's drying her hair.
100%, she was obviously in a rush somewhere and and was like i didn't have time to dry my
hair she looked like she had really like lovely thick hair and just out the window amazing it was
like vertical it was like because we're going 100 kilometers an hour like this and she was just
loving it man i just looked i was like you living. That would add a good bit of volume
to the hair, wouldn't it?
Dude, imagine when she comes in.
Teased out.
Because we're getting volume
in the root there.
Maybe that's her secret
to a beautiful head.
Yeah, maybe this is not
she's running late.
This is her secret.
She's like,
why use a hairdryer?
She just looks better.
But man, it looked so funny.
Like her whole head,
like you say,
a golden retriever
out the window.
Yeah.
Just absolutely flapping.
Like I'm talking,
she would have had
like butt length hair. Wow. The window. That's Just absolutely flapping. Like I'm talking, she would have had like butt length hair.
Wow.
Out the window.
That's crazy.
I know,
I was like,
you crazy woman.
As I sort of drove past her,
she was loving it.
She had a big smile on her dial.
Shannon,
you were saying when Hayley mentioned this
early this morning,
that people,
there's something people do with their hair.
This blew my mind.
same.
Yeah,
so I've seen this a few times
and I've seen it online as well,
where people,
especially nurses
or people who work night shifts,
will grab quite a decent chunk of their hair
and roll the window up
so it holds quite a decent chunk in the top
so if they were to fall asleep
or start drifting off,
it would yank their hair
and it wakes them up.
And driving to work a few times,
I've seen it
and panicked thinking something was wrong
and then I was like,
oh no, that'll be a nurse.
What the hell?
Isn't that insane?
So you go like that and then if you go,
yeah, so you would like allow a chunk of your hair
to be on your window.
You should be getting the movies.
I normally just wait until the rumble lines wake me up.
Yeah, yeah, well now that I've got a nice car
it dings at me, distracted, driver detected.
Really?
Yeah.
Because bald people can't do that.
They can't.
I mean, you could probably put your beard in the window.
Oh, God, you'd be right against it.
Not at this length.
Play ZM's Flesh, Gwen and Hayley.
Now, yesterday, if you missed it, where were you?
We had a blast.
But I did reveal that I got a tattoo of Vaughn on my leg.
It's the photo that we had previously posted of Vaughn on my leg. It's the photo that we had previously posted
of Vaughn on a horse with a cowboy hat,
looking great.
And I just, Sammy Crow, the tattoo artist,
reached out and said, let's do this.
Somebody did a water painting of it.
Saw that.
Prior to the tattoo reveal.
And she's like, is it right if I sell these as prints?
I was like, yeah, it's absolutely fine.
I don't know who's going to buy them.
And she's like, oh, I think people are going to buy them.
Women, anyway.
Women. People were actually quite
moved by the
video. Yeah. Because you kind of
welled up. Yep. Almost.
I lost my mind.
You nearly, yeah. Nearly snapped.
I think seconds away from
absolute the floodgates.
Yeah, exactly. But we
posted a video yesterday
of the reveal and everything like that.
And producer Carwin and producer Shannon
were telling us that there was some interesting analytics
from that video beyond just your numbers
and your likes and your views.
This was on TikTok?
Yeah, on TikTok there's basically a thing
called the blue search bar.
And if someone watches your video
and immediately searches something, it kind of then suggests it to other people they're like well if lots of people
thought this maybe you also want to see this right so you can kind of if you watch one of our videos
quite often the blue search bar is new zealand or something like that or one of your names if you
were if you were like i don't know making a or something, someone might search the cake recipe and that would be the most searched thing after that video.
So yesterday, once we posted the reaction,
the most searched thing was
how to make genuine friends with a girl.
Isn't that just the sweetest thing?
I thought it would have been like tattoo or horse.
It was people saying
your genuine friendship and saying
I want that. Now they'd be genuine friends with
somebody. With a girl.
I don't know if many females
would Google. How do you be genuine friends with a girl?
Be gay.
We will flock to you.
Yeah, they love you.
Yeah, we love you.
Or you're like one of the girls but just different.
I've bonded with many females over my mutual love of They love you. Yeah, we love you. Or you're like one of the girls, but just different. Yeah.
I've bonded with many females over my mutual love of Henry Cavill.
Yeah, that's great. I'm not gay yet.
Early days.
But, oh, man, Henry Cavill.
Yeah.
Who's been quiet lately.
I know he's just the new father and stuff, but come on.
He's been quiet.
But do you think it's harder for guys to have a genuine friendship with a girl?
Because if they've got a partner, that's
going to be a problem. Well, we talked about this
in one of our silly little polls this week.
Is your best friend the opposite?
Or was it last week? Last week, yeah. Is your
best friend the opposite gender? And there
was that thing of like, no, it doesn't work.
I've always had male
friends, both gay and heterosexual
and I
don't know, it's fun.
One of my best friends who
I might have been on a podcast I talked about
that I hadn't talked to for ages and I caught
up with her and it was that friendship where it just
like, click, like, we hadn't talked for
six months, boom, no time's passed.
Yeah, but that also doesn't count because she's a lesbian.
But she wasn't a lesbian when we were, well she
probably was. Yeah, no, sorry.
They enter the queer spectrum. It changes. We were best friends probably was. Yeah, no, sorry. I didn't know that. They enter the queer spectrum.
It changes.
Well, we were best friends before that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were best friends before that and continue to be amazing friends.
The key to a platonic relationship is, I think it's an understanding of, in particular, what the woman needs.
Now, you know that I need constant praise and attention.
Yeah.
But that might not be every woman's need.
And never, ever sleep together.
Never blew that line.
Never blew that line.
I mean, Vaughan, I've got him on my leg
because it's a great photo and he's a great man,
but he is a minger.
Yeah.
And the nicest possible way.
It'd be like hooking up with your brother.
You'd make me feel sick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The idea of ever engaging with you sexually
is you, no thank you.
Wait, but what about me?
Like.
I would.
I would.
I would.
Thanks.
But that's the secret to our success
is this undeniable sexual tension.
And I know if we ever engage,
the magic's going to be gone.
It would.
It would ruin the friendship.
You have to keep the tension.
The magic with Hayley is
she is a disgusting pig.
That's right.
That's right.
God, you could only say that
to a good friend, no?
There's literally...
I honestly don't even know
another female I could say that to.
The way that we roast each other
is...
I love it.
I live for it.
Yeah, I think that's the key
to a good platonic relationship too.
Constant roasts.
Yeah.
Roast pork. Sorry, I've probably taken it too far now. Yeah, I think that's the key to a good platonic relationship too. Constant roasts. Roast pork.
Sorry, I've probably taken it too far now.
There is a line.
Uh-oh, she's laugh crying.
He's found it.
He's found it.
Now, people are loving this image, Vaughn, of you on the horse.
I went out yesterday to the producers and I said,
hey, I think just regarding that picture of Vaughn on the cow,
and it was just an absolute slip of the tongue, and I of Vaughn on the cow. And it was just an absolute slip of the tongue.
And I said, sorry, on the cow.
I meant the horse.
Yeah.
And that's when Carwin, producer Carwin, played around with AI.
Carwin, it was Shannon.
Oh, sorry, Shannon.
We do have different coloured hair now.
Yes.
They made it easier for us.
I want a rhinoceros!
Yes, you are.
And you are on a cow.
You're on a, I believe, an orca.
A giraffe.
Shannon?
Yeah, so...
Oh, the giraffe one's weird.
My little legs have gone a bit funny.
So, we have made some downloadable desktop phone screensavers,
wallpapers, whatever you want to call them,
available to download.
Should we put the original on there as well?
I thought about that, but I was like,
is that too earnest?
It's too earnest.
It's too earnest.
I think give people the orca.
That's my personal favourite.
Vaughan riding the orca is amazing.
The orca's not even in water.
I feel like it's coming out of the grass.
And I'm standing on it.
It's coming out of the grass.
If you want these images,
text COWBOY to 9696 and you'll get a link

I need to address the fact that I am

Honestly, in my show,
you know I say I'm a 7.2
and that felt right.
And now I'm like,
I've just put myself too high.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
As I just mentioned, man,
yesterday I did a whopping app clean out
and I'm going to do more.
There's just crap sitting there.
But then one day you're going to need that app
and you're going to be like,
I know, but then just re-download it
because I'm running out of storage.
Oh, did someone skimp on the size of the phone?
I skimped.
I do that thing where if I don't use an app
for a little while,
it takes it off the phone.
Oh, yeah.
But the thing stays there
so you can be like, re-download the app.
Well, I've got room now.
I also had a whole bunch of audio books downloaded
and episodes downloaded that I'd forgotten to clear.
Yep.
Good clear out.
Get rid of those, yeah.
So I've got room on my phone now for a new app
and apparently the girlies are loving an app, a new app.
Sell it to me.
It's cool.
Do you have shares in this?
Do you have any invested interest?
Do you think I've ever done shares, Hayley?
No.
Just gambling, eh?
Yeah.
Her idea of the shares is T No. Just gambling eh? Yeah.
The shares is the TAB.
Shares is the TAB. Shares is the TAB.
No so it's called Bump and it's very
similar to Snap Maps if you're
familiar with that where you can track your friends
you can see where they are and what they're up to
but this is a new app called Bump
and basically you share your location
with your friends, they can see your battery percentage
you can see where they are and what they're up to
but the reason I want to use this
and the girlies are loving it
is you create a scratch off map
of your local area
so if you had it you would see Auckland CBD
and you'd say oh they walked down Nelson Street
they went to this cafe
and it will track it for the time you have this app
and you can try and mark off all of
your city. I'm going to get around.
So you have to log, if your
location's always on, it'll always
be logging. Yes, you don't need to be in the
app. This is pretty cool.
Girlies are going on little bump dates,
they're calling it, where they'll be like, let's try
scratch off some of the city.
So you'll just walk down streets you would have never gone down
before. If you go to a new streets you would have never gone down before.
You would like,
if you go to a new city,
it helps you explore a little bit. I'm into that.
I'm not into the bit where,
though for someone like me,
who is known to sometimes wander a bit
with a dead phone,
I think it would be good for like
Fletch and Vaughan to have me on this
and be like,
she's out,
it was 3am and her phone's on 2%.
Yeah, I just love the idea.
We shan't be seeing her in the morning.
People are saying it's the girly Pokemon Go.
Oh, great description.
I'm here for that.
And I just think it would be fun.
Yeah, a good way to travel.
This would be cool overseas, eh?
If you were like going to a city
that you've maybe been to before,
like Rome or something.
Do you still have that scratch map?
I knew this was coming.
I knew this was coming.
See how he wouldn't look at me during that break?
Because she was talking about like scratch map.
Yeah.
Okay, so once Vaughn got me a map.
Fletch is my most avid traveller friend.
Yes, mine too.
And so I bought him a world map
and every country has a scratch off.
And you scratch off the country when you go to them.
Which for him would be so exciting
because you've been to so many countries.
Wait, if I can just have a word with my friend Hayley Vaughn.
Okay, I'll just be right here.
Would you put this on your wall? So tacky. Thank you. my friend Hayley Vaughan. I'll just be honest.
Would you put this on your wall?
So tacky.
Thank you.
I'm so fletched.
Do you know what I mean? Thank you.
Did you hear before I was trying to say like, oh my God, do you remember these?
I was just being nice.
I don't know.
I know.
I know.
I was being nice too.
It's not going on my wall.
It's a lovely gift.
It's a lovely thought.
Thoughtful as a traveler.
It's not something you put on your wall.
Get me like travel insurance.
Do you know what I mean?
Anyway.
Sorry Vaughan.
Carry on.
Come back in homie.
Hi.
Wow.
Is this what makes him cry?
Is this what?
It's not. It's also the idea of worn out at some shop like Ico Ico in Wellington.
It was.
It was Ico Ico.
I knew it.
It was an Ico Ico purchase.
I love that shop.
It's so good.
And then just being like, oh. But I didn't expect it to go on the wall
do I need a flamingo handbag
yes I do
do I need an inflatable palm tree thing
for god knows where
and then just seeing the scratchy world map
and being like more best friends
I didn't expect a wall position
I just wanted to
roll it up somewhere
roll it up
and keep it in his shirt
and he's like
look how close I'm getting
to collecting them all
hey Nick you know what
he brings it up all the time
I know
all the time
do you want to know another thing
oh no here we go
here we go
do you know what I'm about to say
let's be lifted
whisper to Hayley
whisper to Hayley
what you think it's going to be
so that there's no
or write it down
okay write it down
write it down I can't see okay don't say to Hayley what you think it's going to be so that there's no... Or write it down. Okay, write it down.
Write it down.
Okay.
Don't say it, Hayley.
We got given a drone once.
Oh, no, it wasn't.
What did you write?
The shopping trolley. Oh, the shopping trolley.
Okay.
The drone who are more.
The drone who are more.
Oh, my God.
Nobody used it.
So there's a third story with a shopping trolley?
I got on the shopping trolley for his rubbish gifts.
He said that he really wanted one of those things old ladies drag around.
He's like, I've always got too much food for one bag at the supermarket,
but not enough to warrant my own trolley.
I was like, you need a trolley bag.
So I bought him a Gucci trolley bag.
Okay, but it wasn't actually Gucci.
It was a Gucci trolley bag, and it just sat at work until they threw it out.
And once upon a time
we got a drone
and he's like,
oh, I really like to...
He needs to work on his gifts.
He needs to work on his gifts.
The drone was a gift
for both of us
and he said,
I said,
I'm going away this week
and I can't take the drone
and he's like,
oh, I'm going to go to a park.
I'll fly the drone.
And then it was my turn
for my custody share of the drone
and we met at a McDonald's car park
as every good couple does to exchange their children.
We didn't look each other in the eye.
We didn't even look at each other.
And I had to say to the kids,
the kid drone when it got in the car,
did your dad buy you a McDonald's or do you want some now?
Because we're competing to be favourite parents.
Of course.
And I said, where's the drone?
And he's like, the drone is gone.
Do you know how giant it was?
He gave the drone to a hooker.
I didn't give it to him.
It was to a friend.
It was to a friend.
And this was when drones were a metre wide.
Drone technology.
It was a huge, it was called a quadrocopter.
And it was huge and the body was foam.
In case it crashed, it wouldn't blow itself to pieces.
I was sick of it taking up space, so I gave it away.
Anyway, work on your gifts, please, Vaughan.
Look, guys, water under the bridge, okay?
It says water under the bridge.
Old Smithy never forgets.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Okay, we want to talk a little bit more about yesterday
when I revealed to my lovely friend Vaughn Alan Smith
that I have a tattoo of him now permanently on my leg.
Yes.
Now, you can go and watch the whole video on FVHZM.
Okay, I reshared this story
and so many people messaged saying,
it's fake.
I know.
My agent messaged saying,
there's bets on an office.
Is this real?
Yeah, yeah.
I think so.
It's not rude enough.
If it just happened yesterday,
it's fake.
Yeah, it was really rude on Sunday
and I've always kind of
healed quite quickly.
It's 100% real.
I'll take a video.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
I'll upload a video of me
in hour six
of getting that tattoo
and I was,
I nearly tapped out
and I've never done that
with a tattoo before. I was nearly like
Sammy I've got to get it on. We're done. We're out.
I kept saying make the horse simpler.
It doesn't need all that hair on the mane.
Maybe it's a bald horse. A three legged
horse. Just stop. No it's very much
real but a lot of people were saying like
this. I mean even Vaughn's
immediate reaction was like you stupid
girl. You silly girl.
Because it's a very bold gesture
to do for a friend.
Not the first time I've done it either.
I do have a little J
for my best friend and whatnot.
But not a horse.
Oh,
Jess is one of those.
Is Jess angry?
Is Jess one of some sort of
large four-legged creature?
She hasn't actually spoken to me
in the last 24 hours,
so I think she'd be feeling
a little bit upset.
Yeah.
No, not at all.
But we were like,
it's a grand gesture.
And I love,
I'm a big fan of grand gestures
and I want to hear about more of them.
What is the grand gesture
you made for your friend?
Maybe,
he said multiple times
as carrying supermarket bags
as a pain in the ass
and I could do with a trolley
like old people have
and maybe you got him the trolley
and then,
okay,
here we go.
And then he just left it at work. Okay, that wasn't the grandest gesture. It you got him the trolley. Okay, here we go. And then he just left it at work.
Okay, Vaughn, even though it was a Gucci brand trolley.
Vaughn, you purchased a fake Gucci shopping trolley,
a Nana shopping trolley.
I would be laughed at every day at the supermarket.
I'm just saying, I'd be laughed at.
Would you be, or would you be idolised as a style icon?
I think sometimes, I think sometimes,
like,
some of these stories
we might get
about the grand gestures
you've made for a friend
will be really funny.
Because,
like,
when I watch those videos
of people
who are going through chemotherapy
and their friend starts
shaving their own head
to be on that journey,
I'm like,
oh,
God,
I weep.
That's why I do it.
But even,
for everybody,
for everybody.
my brother,
I'm with you,
I'm with you all the way. Yeah. Even the video yesterday of you revealing to even for everybody. You were like, my brother, I'm with you. I'm with you all the way.
Yeah.
Even the video yesterday of you revealing to Vaughn the horse,
people were like, found it quite emotional.
I know, I know.
It got me.
I was out in the paddock putting the cows away.
I know, you see there's a voice memo with a wobbly voice.
It got me.
Yeah.
So we want to know, maybe you've donated a kidney.
Oh, shit.
Holy moly.
You would though.
But I don't think it needs to be that. It could be like you're just
at maybe the lowest point of your life and your
friend just absolutely stepped up. What about
when your friend turns up with a cottage pie?
Do you know what I mean?
Here's a nice story. I love turning up with a cottage pie because
everyone loves cottage pie. Not me.
Here's a really nice thing. Excuse me.
Just bring me some Maccas.
Oh my God, give me McDonald's.
I put my heart and soul into a cottage pie.
And you're like, I just want, you know, nuggies.
Like on that, my friend Ty is about to burst.
Like their first baby, my friends Tim and Ty.
And so their friend Kate messaged all of their closest friends
and we have a roster and we're each doing a week of food.
Oh yeah, great.
And it was just this really nice thing. And so like for, I think it's like two months and we're each doing a week of food. Oh yeah, great. And it was just
this really nice thing
and so like for,
I think it's like two months
I don't have to think about food.
I was like,
that's a really nice thing to do.
That's a hot.
Well, thank you.
Yeah, I'm part of that.
My week is next week
and I was going to do
a cottage pie.
You do?
And now I feel roasted.
No, just do knackers.
I do one of them
big dish cottage pies.
Do you reckon,
I reckon I'll do a cook,
a cook,
and then on the third night
I'll be like,
do a pyramid of nuggies. do a pyramid of nuggies.
Do a pyramid of nuggies.
Man, they'll be stoked.
We did that for our friends,
Johnny and Amanda,
when they had a baby.
We were just like, yeah, one night.
And we just sent them the takeaways that we knew.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, to follow up some food and stuff.
You're at home and nuggies turn up?
Unexpected nuggies.
Are you kidding me?
Get him a mouth.
Let's, okay.
Let's take some calls.
0800 DARS at M9696.
Text in.
What was your grand gesture to your friend?
Or maybe one that you received.
Oh, yeah, totally.
From friends.
Yeah.
And it doesn't need to be like, I don't know,
an expensive thing.
Look, we'll take your blood transfusions and we'll take your little ways that you show up for a friend.
Way too much information about my menstrual cycle.
But oh my God, I'm so grateful.
I found a wheat pack just in the kitchen.
I don't know whose it is and now it's been up my skirt all day.
Fantastic.
Anyway, I'm trying to eat this kiwi fruit.
We're talking about grand gestures from your friends.
Yeah.
When they've just absolutely stepped up.
And I tell you what,
some harming messages.
I know.
Honestly, it's so beautiful.
Who would we be without our friends?
You know?
What a beautiful moment to reflect.
I have my bestie's name on my foot
and it's written in Persian.
And damn, I made sure.
Persian, beautiful looking language.
Beautiful looking people.
Is that a language?
I don't know.
Is it a written language?
I know they do rugs.
They do rugs.
Arabic?
Arabic.
I feel more than Persian, right?
Persian people though.
Can we do some moment for the Persians?
If we can, stop down.
If we can stop down and just admire the 1993 release of Aladdin on VHS.
A young Vaughan Smith is coming of age.
He was funny feelings. Who is this Jasmine? VHS. A young Vaughan Smith is coming of age.
Who is this Jasmine?
Funny feelings I'm having towards these brown almond eyes.
Oh yeah, delicious. Anyway,
sorry, we digress.
All the best Disney princesses were of
non-white origins.
You're distracted. I'm going to head to beautiful
moments. One of my best
friends is going to carry our baby
for us via surrogacy
after we've had seven unexplained miscarriages.
Oh, my God.
That's awful that you've gone through that.
They had a couple of texts like that.
Do you know my best friend as well?
I mean, I've never wanted kids, but she did say,
you can have it for a bit.
And then as we hit our 30s, she was like, hey, by the way, shut.
We're shut now.
You missed it.
You missed it.
Clearance sale. Shop shut. Yep,, shut. We're shut now. You missed it. You missed it. Clear and sale.
Shop shut.
Yep, shop shut.
As an ADHD girlie, my grand gesture to my best friend is I always text her straight back.
Oh, okay.
That's not for everybody.
Yeah, that's nice.
Because those friends that don't text you straight back, it drives me crazy.
My husband, when we first met, was with another girl he was seeing.
I turned up, so he took the other girl home and then came back,
and we started dating a week later.
I don't know if that's a grand gesture.
No, I don't think so.
I think that's a different topic.
I'm almost feeling like you've texted the wrong radio station.
But sometimes grand doesn't have to look grand.
Grand for me, at the time, going through a tough time a few years back,
single mum with a two-year-old,
and I got a text from my friend saying,
hey, check your mailbox at 8 o'clock at night.
So I went outside, found a bag full of snacks and goodies
and a lovely wee note.
Cheered me up to no end.
Oh, that's nice.
Knowing she was by my side.
How good was, not how good was,
but you know when you had COVID back?
Yes.
When the early stages of winter was ripping around
and people would do little care packages.
Ursula Carlson used to drop us Baileys.
That son of a bitch, she did too.
She was always dropping off booze.
I think she wanted me to develop my problem.
I think she liked seeing me crumble.
I've never stopped Ursula. I know. She had, develop my problem. One of her... I think she likes seeing me crumble. I've never stopped her, Sheila.
I know!
I don't know if we can say this, but I'm going to say it anyway.
No, maybe not.
One of her family members was an essential worker.
So he would drive past her house.
She had these little care packages for me and Vaughan
because he was allowed out and about.
Oh, he'd take them.
Little bottle of Baileys.
I didn't have Baileys, by the way. I find it disgusting.
Yeah. Even though I love whiskey. Too creamy.
Curdly. Curdly and creamy.
Ethan, this was
a grand gesture from what, a friend of yours?
Yeah, yeah.
My buddy spent like
all his money on
pilot school to get qualified
to fly. Yep. And he
sold everything. His car, his computer.
He gave up the flat he was living in and moved back in with his parents.
Wow.
Because it's really expensive, isn't it, to learn to fly?
What is it?
It's ridiculously expensive.
Yeah.
So we really missed gaming with him,
and he moved to Australia after he got his qualification.
Yeah.
And all we had was Messenger.
And we were like,
okay, we need a game again.
So me and the fellas
all put in a few hundred bucks
and sent him a gaming laptop.
And we made him film his reaction
on his phone when he opened it.
And the screenshot
of the look of his face
when he realises
it's still our group chat icon.
Oh, dude.
That's bro love.
That's bro love.
Kings support kings and kings build kingdoms.
This is my saying in my group of mates.
Because, yeah, and I think, like, if you're a dude, you've got to have a tight group of mates.
You've got to have them.
You've got to find guys that you can talk to about anything.
Even if they're not giving advice, they're just listening.
Like, I've got the best group of mates and I love them to pieces and I tell them all the time. And I think you've got to find guys that you can talk to about anything. Even if they're not giving advice, they're just listening. Like, I've got the best group of mates, and I love them to pieces,
and I tell them all the time.
And I think you've got to.
And hearing this, I feel a lot of the similarities
between your group of mates and my group of mates.
Maybe your two group of mates can get together and play games.
All nerds.
Do you ever, Ethan, we've been toying with the idea of a hangout
in Red Dead Redemption 2.
So we're all cowboys, and we just sit around a fire
and we're just literally
sitting there around a fire chatting.
And Arthur Morgan
in his gruff voice
just hears something really deep.
Before he gets tuberculosis!
What is happening?
We're bonding!
Me and Ethan are having a moment.
Calvin, did you let a nerd on?
We've got another nerd.
We've already got a nerd in the studio.
We told you we've got one nerd's enough
with Vaughn. Ethan, we've got our show nerds. already got a nerd in the studio. We told you we've got one nerd's enough with one.
Ethan, we've got our show nerd.
It was a cute message, okay?
Ethan, I want to sit around in an imaginary campfire
in late 1800s, early 1900s Western America
with you and your mates and talk some shit
and roast some marshmallows.
Ethan, thank you so much.
I love talking to you guys.
We love talking to you.
Oh, a lot of love.
So much love.
Ethan, thank you.
Some messages.
My best friend who's a solo mum
who water tank was empty
and she was taking her small kids
for showers at the local tennis club.
I just rung up
and got a water truck
to fill it up.
Oh,
that's nice.
That just would have made
such a difference.
My friend paid my mortgage off.
They said,
don't ask how
and so I didn't.
What?
But I simply must knew.
Oh my God.
Drug money?
Guys, like, don't even think about doing that for me.
Like, that would be such a crazy move.
Like, guys, you don't need to do that.
Okay.
Well, like, but if you fell into some...
But if you wanted.
If you wanted to.
I wanted.
God, that is wild.
A few of us shaved our hair off alongside a friend who was losing hers through chemotherapy.
As we've previously mentioned, that is one hell of a gesture.
I know.
Especially when girls do it,
because I know how much their hair means to them.
And gays.
I know how much their hair means to them.
My husband was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer,
and his boss paid for us and our two young children
to go on a holiday to Rarotonga to make lasting memories.
And the rest of our whole extended family paid to come with us.
Okay, that's beautiful.
That's just beautiful.
This is just so lovely.
16 years ago, my best friend's boyfriend dumped her the week before the ball.
One of the things her 16-year-old bride was sad about was no one was going to buy her a corsage.
I stepped up and got her one.
And now she's been my bridesmaid
and is the best auntie to my kids.
Female friendships.
That's beautiful.
Yeah.
But, you know, like Ethan just proved,
dudes have these sorts of friendships too,
and I don't think we should be afraid to talk about them.
Yeah.
And we should not be afraid to tell our mates that we love them
and we hug them.
Sometimes we kiss them.
Okay.
Yeah.
There's just so many beautiful messages.
I'm just absorbing them all Ethan's story
is me crying in the car
on the way to work
guys loving their mates
is life saving
it is
yeah
yeah
okay
that's not
your mate
whipping his doodle
out at your 40th
it's not a
that's not a
grand gesture
I mean it's grand
I mean if it is grand
he's whipping it out
on the helicopter
but also there were like miners in the hall I love this it's not a grand gesture. I mean, it's grand. I mean, if it is grand. I'm a helicopter, but also there were like minors in the hall.
I love this.
Not a grand gesture.
My friend gave me her womb so I could become a mother.
My mate got a stick.

Fact of the day, day, day, Tay, Tay. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
If you misfactored today, you say it's lightning week.
That's the theme we're doing this week.
Blake sent me a suggestion for a lightning fact, and I said, surely there's more facts about lightning.
And boy, is there.
Today's fact is about the and boy is there. Today's fact
is about
the Katatumbo lightning,
which is one of the most
fascinating meteorological.

am I?
No.

Yes.

phenomena on earth
here we go
it happens
at the Curitumbo
river
where lake
Marachambo
gosh
it flows into
lake Maracaibo
in northwestern
Venezuela
we now cross to
our South American-
Never been to Venezuela.
It's dangerous, eh?
Have you not been to Venezuela?
It's very dangerous.
It's very dangerous.
Is it?
You shouldn't-
Yeah, I mean, everyone says don't go because you'll basically get kidnapped and extorted
for money.
Fun.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, what a holiday story to come home with.
Guys.
They're like, get in the car.
He's like, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, no, help. Guys They're like Get in the car Haley's like Okay Yeah Oh no help
Relepango
De Cartumbo
Si papi
Also known as
The Cartumbo lightning
Okay this is
This is where it gets weird
So what they have
Special lightning in Venezuela
For up to 260 nights a year
There is an isolated
Local thunderstorm
That will go for
10 hours a night
And produce
280 lightning flashes per hour.
Oh my God. There are 1.2
million lightning strikes per year
recorded in that singular region.
Why is it just obviously the different
air temperatures? He's a clever boy.
Because that's how lightning... He listened in science.
I listened. It's the hot air
and the cold air fighting.
You clever little boy. Hey.
Do we have a gold star? I was going to say,
take that sticker off your apple
and put it on your book
because you just earned a sticker.
You're a good boy.
Caused by the clash of warm,
moist air from the Caribbean.
Seapuppy.
Seapuppy moist air
and cooler mountain air
from the Andes
that's flowing down
and the hot air's flowing up.
That's a recipe
for thunder and lightning.
It's a recipe.
Surrounded by mountains
that forms a natural lightning trap.
It kind of funnels down into it.
It's funneling up.
And they believe methane emissions from surrounding swamps and oil fields
also enhance the air's conductivity, although that is a debated fact.
The Guinness World Record recognises it as the highest concentrate of lightning
anywhere in the world.
And in pre-Columbian times, I'm talking your, you know,
thousand years ago.
Cipapi.
Cipapi.
Before they would have said Cipapi.
They wouldn't have spoken Spanish
because this was pre-Columbian.
Oh, right.
So it was considered a beacon for sailors.
They knew they were on the right path.
It was like a lighthouse, if you will,
as it's visible from hundreds of kilometres away.
Wow.
What else can I tell you about this?
It's deeply embedded in local folklore.
They've won Miss Universe
a lot.
Dude, tell me about it.
Just a moment of silence.
We've had a moment of silence
for the Persians
and now for the Venezuelans.
Whenever I think
of the Venezuelans
I think of that woman
in the Miss Universe.
Venezuela!
Yeah.
So good.
The lightning in 2010
vanished for several weeks
and caused widespread panic
amongst local meteorologists.
Yeah.
And they believe it was due to drought.
Oh, okay.
And it later returned
and went back to what it was,
but when there's more drought,
it does,
it shrinks a little bit.
It would be a beautiful, global climate change a little bit. It would be a beautiful,
global climate change
is affecting it.
It'd be a beautiful country
to go to.
Venezuela?
Yeah.
I feel like we should
invest in solving this issue,
this turbulent issue
of Venezuela.
Well,
they've got a corrupt government
and a lot of sanctions
against them.
Yeah,
we can get those lifted.
And a lot of poverty because of that. So, I mean, there's a lot of issues there for. Yeah, we can get those lifted. And a lot of poverty because of that.
So, I mean, there's a lot of issues there for you to solve, Vaughn.
But will it be worth it?
Maybe.
You be your goddamn top dollar, it will be.
So, today's fact of the day, in the second full lightning week,
is there a...
Si, papi.
Si, papi.
Papacito.
What?
Is the Catatumbo Lightning,
which is a very isolated, regularly occurring thunderstorm.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah.

You get these DMs on your Instagram.
And you just be like some horny old man.
Television's so much worse than radio for behaviour.
So much worse.
Like people say horrible things about people.
Oh yeah, or just like.
Into your face.
Into your face.
Yeah.
Direct message.
And, but it kind of, I mean, most of the Zedium listeners
are beautiful.
They send lovely messages.
We're refined.
Very refined.
Now, because I did my show last week
and so many Zedium people were there,
I was going through my message requests
because, you know,
I used to delete all
and I'm just being honest.
But as a response to the fact
that I used to get these horrible messages,
but I was going through them all
and I was like,
you know,
I'm just absorbing some praise.
Craving attention. Yeah, it was so nice them all and I was like, you know, I'm just absorbing some praise. Craving attention.
Yeah, it was so nice on
Saturday to just be like, oh, I'm so
loved. They love me.
They really love me.
And I was reminded of
the sort of like cesspool that is
a woman's DMs.
And guys will never understand this.
No. And then I mentioned
one because I don't ever check my TikTok inbox.
I saw it and I said, it was a message from a much older gentleman saying,
if I deposit $5,000 into your PayPal and you have to spend it immediately,
what are you doing?
And I was like, maybe this is one of those money, financial shaming guys.
Oh yeah, those guys.
I would love to financially shame someone.
My brain was like yes.
Here's my
bank account. Drain it. So we were talking
about this yesterday and the girls were like oh
my god. And then I was like of course
women everywhere get the wildest
DMs. People are so
audacious. Especially when they've got
a wife in their profile picture. This is my favourite.
Oh yeah. That's my favourite. Or they're
holding their baby and I'm like, don't
do this. Stop messaging me about the things
you want to do to my butt area.
The butt area? Yeah.
Okay. I know, honestly.
But you girls have also received these
like $5,000 into your bank account.
What are we doing? Yeah, we both have said we
find that specific one the most
on TikTok and they always mention PayPal
so it feels more international. Like a scam.
It feels like a scam. Like scammy, like send me
your thing. Oh, it's not going through.
What's your card number and all that.
Instagram is a lot more like
actual heckling, actually sliding,
actually saying you deserve
a gender pay gap and being a teacher at my old school.
Yeah.
She's, wow.
Took that down pretty quick, didn't he?
I've told this story before, I think, years ago,
but it still really makes me laugh.
And it was when I was first working in television.
I got a very sexually explicit, you know,
message from a stranger.
And I was very, I was young and I was new
and I was screenshotting them all because I want to keep them as like memories from a stranger and I was very I was young and I was new and I was screenshotting them
all because I want to keep them as like memories from a wild time yeah like remember when I worked
on television people messaged me this and it was just on this day I'd message my mum saying oh my
god look what this guy said like I could never I'm not even going to allude to the message but
very explicit Patsy being the mum that she is, was like, not on my watch.
Saw his profile, his name, went on Facebook, looked him up, found him, went on his profile,
found his mother tagged in a photo.
Yeah.
Got on her profile, DM'd mum.
I love this story so much.
And said, hey, mother to mother, i want you to know that your son is
messaging stranger like women yeah on the internet things like this and they had a little hooey about
it because she was just like mom to mom if my son was doing this i'd want to be aware of it
i was like patsy power move they say this is like a tactic and this is what i do when someone cat
calls now is i make them repeat it and they what did you say and they say it tactic and this is what I do when someone cat calls now, is I make them repeat it. I'm like, what did you say?
And they say it again and you're like, say it again.
And it makes them realise this is so inappropriate
to say to a young female.
Or you call their boss or you do something.
You just escalate it going, I just want you to reflect.
Yeah, it's so nuts.
I just really like, reflect
on so many things. Also reflect on
what is in your profile picture. We see your face.
We see your family. We see where profile picture. We see your face. Yeah. We see your family.
We see where you work.
We see where you work.
We see your wife.
But it's like the people
that comment stuff
on like news headlines
or like Facebook posts.
It's like,
yeah.
It could be like.
Everything's there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know that that doesn't
just sort of disappear.
And you see them say
some horrendous thing.
I know Jacinda wore it
and like every time somebody puts their hand up and they wear it and then you see them say some horrendous thing I know Jacinda wore it and like
every time somebody
puts their hand up
and they wear it
and then you click on the
you click on their
profile picture
and it's like
pink shirt day
yes yes yes

He's so worried a compliment's going to get too close
that he's going to stab it.
Okay, Vaughn.
Yeah.
All of my favourite days have been with you.
Great.
It's just not true.
No boyfriend's believing that, are they?
