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
Starting point is 00:00:27 or wherever you get your podcasts From the ZM Podcast Network This is Fleshwood and Hayley's Big Pod Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse The biggest brands at the lowest prices Welcome to the show Fleshwood and Hayley at the top six is coming up You might have heard Bryn mention Run It Straight.
Starting point is 00:00:46 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
Starting point is 00:01:01 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.
Starting point is 00:01:16 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.
Starting point is 00:01:33 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.
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:07 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...
Starting point is 00:02:19 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.
Starting point is 00:02:25 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,
Starting point is 00:02:45 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.
Starting point is 00:03:00 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
Starting point is 00:03:15 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.
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:52 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.
Starting point is 00:04:04 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?
Starting point is 00:04:17 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.
Starting point is 00:04:30 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.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And he's like, I think you should just start talking to yourself. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. 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?
Starting point is 00:05:00 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
Starting point is 00:05:16 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?
Starting point is 00:05:31 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.
Starting point is 00:05:38 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,
Starting point is 00:05:44 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 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?
Starting point is 00:06:19 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,
Starting point is 00:06:36 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,
Starting point is 00:06:55 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.
Starting point is 00:07:12 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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,
Starting point is 00:07:28 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
Starting point is 00:07:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:45 she's worth 425 mil her old man's in scrap metal yeah so everyone knows a trustworthy
Starting point is 00:07:52 scrap metal dealer by the way she was born in 1994 well that's impossible it's only 1998 it's crazy
Starting point is 00:07:59 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.
Starting point is 00:08:13 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
Starting point is 00:08:30 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.
Starting point is 00:08:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:02 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?
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:35 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.
Starting point is 00:09:49 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,
Starting point is 00:09:56 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:32 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
Starting point is 00:10:45 yeah and you just say oi oi stupid little bitch I think I would laugh if somebody said that to me yeah me too
Starting point is 00:10:53 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
Starting point is 00:11:02 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,
Starting point is 00:11:12 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.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 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,
Starting point is 00:12:01 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.
Starting point is 00:12:30 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.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Funny. Hopefully they're okay. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. 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.
Starting point is 00:13:02 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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?
Starting point is 00:13:29 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.
Starting point is 00:13:41 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,
Starting point is 00:13:58 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,
Starting point is 00:14:09 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
Starting point is 00:14:18 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,
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:14:50 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...
Starting point is 00:15:02 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.
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 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.
Starting point is 00:15:41 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
Starting point is 00:15:58 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.
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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.
Starting point is 00:17:01 You're on my will this week. It'll be my privilege to buy you a coffee. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. 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.
Starting point is 00:17:35 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.
Starting point is 00:17:52 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,
Starting point is 00:18:08 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
Starting point is 00:18:20 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?
Starting point is 00:18:28 Yuck. That's so feral. Yuck. Do they know that they have access to lovely food? Dude, fruit, vegetables, produce. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:35 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
Starting point is 00:18:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:49 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
Starting point is 00:18:57 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
Starting point is 00:19:03 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,
Starting point is 00:19:15 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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,
Starting point is 00:19:51 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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.
Starting point is 00:20:18 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. The Jaffa. And you bite it. Oh, you'd nearly die from the volcanic explosion.
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:20:44 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.
Starting point is 00:20:59 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
Starting point is 00:21:15 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.
Starting point is 00:21:30 That's disgusting. This is insane. Play ZM's Fletchborn and Hayley. Two funny stories in the news. Well, not, I mean, okay, this one's kind of serious, but funny. Serious funny. In America, in Pennsylvania, a kindergartner, do you call them, we'll just say kindy,
Starting point is 00:21:47 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?
Starting point is 00:22:02 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
Starting point is 00:22:09 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
Starting point is 00:22:18 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
Starting point is 00:22:23 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 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
Starting point is 00:22:49 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.
Starting point is 00:23:06 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.
Starting point is 00:23:25 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.
Starting point is 00:23:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:50 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
Starting point is 00:23:59 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
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:13 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
Starting point is 00:24:22 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?
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:46 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?
Starting point is 00:24:55 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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!
Starting point is 00:25:24 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...
Starting point is 00:25:36 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,
Starting point is 00:25:59 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?
Starting point is 00:26:18 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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?
Starting point is 00:26:56 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?
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:22 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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.
Starting point is 00:27:51 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.
Starting point is 00:28:07 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
Starting point is 00:28:23 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
Starting point is 00:28:38 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
Starting point is 00:28:47 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
Starting point is 00:28:53 because pigs hate being off the ground. Wow Anna okay so this was you were allowed to take them? Yep. Oh right okay.
Starting point is 00:29:02 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
Starting point is 00:29:07 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
Starting point is 00:29:13 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
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:36 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.
Starting point is 00:29:45 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,
Starting point is 00:29:58 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:48 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
Starting point is 00:31:00 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.
Starting point is 00:31:13 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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
Starting point is 00:31:33 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
Starting point is 00:31:43 I know yuck they are a pest Imagine watching your teacher go full American History X. I know. Shaboom. Yuck. They are a pest. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Hayley. Yesterday I was driving home on the, what is it, the 24?
Starting point is 00:31:58 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.
Starting point is 00:32:10 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.
Starting point is 00:32:23 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.
Starting point is 00:32:32 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.
Starting point is 00:32:43 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.
Starting point is 00:32:52 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.
Starting point is 00:32:59 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
Starting point is 00:33:13 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
Starting point is 00:33:26 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
Starting point is 00:33:34 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
Starting point is 00:33:41 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
Starting point is 00:33:49 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.
Starting point is 00:33:55 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.
Starting point is 00:34:02 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.
Starting point is 00:34:10 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.
Starting point is 00:34:19 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,
Starting point is 00:34:28 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,
Starting point is 00:34:39 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
Starting point is 00:34:52 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
Starting point is 00:35:14 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
Starting point is 00:35:30 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.
Starting point is 00:35:38 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
Starting point is 00:35:44 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,
Starting point is 00:35:51 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.
Starting point is 00:36:01 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
Starting point is 00:36:10 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
Starting point is 00:36:22 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.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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
Starting point is 00:37:05 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?
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.
Starting point is 00:37:33 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
Starting point is 00:37:50 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
Starting point is 00:38:09 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:38:59 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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.
Starting point is 00:39:30 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.
Starting point is 00:39:45 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
Starting point is 00:40:01 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.
Starting point is 00:40:22 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.
Starting point is 00:40:38 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?
Starting point is 00:40:51 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,
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:11 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.
Starting point is 00:41:20 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.
Starting point is 00:41:30 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:11 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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.
Starting point is 00:42:39 If you want these images, text COWBOY to 9696 and you'll get a link and honestly they are a blast. Also I feel I need to address the fact that I am not cowboy from sex.life Oh my god I think we knew that
Starting point is 00:42:57 So many messages, I'm like you haven't done your research, none of this lines up Oh no, no, no I love wolves doing sexy things that you haven't done your research, none of this lines up. Oh, no, no, no. I'm absolutely not. I love wolves. I love wolves. Doing sexy things. No.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yuckies. Oh, whatever, Peppa Pig. Oh, God. I love that. I love that. Honestly. Yeah, if you want those downloadable screensavers, wallpapers, whatever,
Starting point is 00:43:25 Cowboy to 9696. Cowboy to 9696. Someone text him, platonic relationships are easy when you're ugly. Dude! That's a t-shirt. That's how we work. That is a t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah, okay. Oh, God. Let's get some merch. Wow. When did you start doing some merch? Is that just confirmations where like fours and fives? Genuine friendship. Honestly, in my show,
Starting point is 00:43:47 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.
Starting point is 00:44:00 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
Starting point is 00:44:13 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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?
Starting point is 00:44:39 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.
Starting point is 00:44:51 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
Starting point is 00:45:07 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
Starting point is 00:45:24 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
Starting point is 00:45:40 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,
Starting point is 00:45:51 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.
Starting point is 00:46:03 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
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:46:27 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.
Starting point is 00:46:40 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.
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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.
Starting point is 00:47:03 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.
Starting point is 00:47:19 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
Starting point is 00:47:32 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
Starting point is 00:47:46 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
Starting point is 00:47:54 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
Starting point is 00:48:02 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.
Starting point is 00:48:13 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?
Starting point is 00:48:24 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.
Starting point is 00:48:45 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
Starting point is 00:48:53 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
Starting point is 00:48:59 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?
Starting point is 00:49:14 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.
Starting point is 00:49:28 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.
Starting point is 00:49:48 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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.
Starting point is 00:50:21 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
Starting point is 00:50:31 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
Starting point is 00:50:40 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
Starting point is 00:50:54 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.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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?
Starting point is 00:51:17 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.
Starting point is 00:51:25 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
Starting point is 00:51:37 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.
Starting point is 00:51:45 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,
Starting point is 00:52:05 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
Starting point is 00:52:12 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,
Starting point is 00:52:19 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.
Starting point is 00:52:25 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.
Starting point is 00:52:36 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
Starting point is 00:52:49 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.
Starting point is 00:53:06 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
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:41 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.
Starting point is 00:53:48 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?
Starting point is 00:54:01 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?
Starting point is 00:54:14 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.
Starting point is 00:54:27 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.
Starting point is 00:54:45 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
Starting point is 00:54:55 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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.
Starting point is 00:55:21 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.
Starting point is 00:55:38 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.
Starting point is 00:55:52 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.
Starting point is 00:56:06 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.
Starting point is 00:56:23 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,
Starting point is 00:56:36 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.
Starting point is 00:56:47 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.
Starting point is 00:57:00 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.
Starting point is 00:57:16 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
Starting point is 00:57:32 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.
Starting point is 00:57:52 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.
Starting point is 00:58:04 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.
Starting point is 00:58:19 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.
Starting point is 00:58:30 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.
Starting point is 00:58:50 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
Starting point is 00:59:06 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.
Starting point is 00:59:18 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
Starting point is 00:59:31 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.
Starting point is 00:59:44 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
Starting point is 00:59:52 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
Starting point is 00:59:59 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.
Starting point is 01:00:12 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.
Starting point is 01:00:29 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.
Starting point is 01:00:45 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
Starting point is 01:01:05 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.
Starting point is 01:01:15 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
Starting point is 01:01:28 on the way to work guys loving their mates is life saving it is yeah yeah okay that's not
Starting point is 01:01:36 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
Starting point is 01:01:43 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. Play ZM's Fleshborn and Hayley.
Starting point is 01:01:58 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,
Starting point is 01:02:30 which is one of the most fascinating meteorological. Meteorological. Mediterranean. Meteorological. Not getting closer, am I? No.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Meteorological. Yes. Actually, you know why I neg myself and that's my kink. It is his kink. So I neg myself that's my kink it is his kink so I neg myself and immediately
Starting point is 01:02:47 please don't I'm fragile one of the most fascinating meteorological phenomena on earth here we go it happens
Starting point is 01:02:54 at the Curitumbo river where lake Marachambo gosh it flows into lake Maracaibo in northwestern
Starting point is 01:03:03 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.
Starting point is 01:03:10 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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
Starting point is 01:03:30 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
Starting point is 01:03:40 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
Starting point is 01:03:54 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
Starting point is 01:04:06 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
Starting point is 01:04:17 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.
Starting point is 01:04:27 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.
Starting point is 01:04:48 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,
Starting point is 01:04:58 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.
Starting point is 01:05:13 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!
Starting point is 01:05:23 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.
Starting point is 01:05:37 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
Starting point is 01:05:46 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

You get these DMs on your Instagram. And you just be like some horny old man.
Starting point is 01:07:12 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.
Starting point is 01:07:24 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
Starting point is 01:07:34 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,
Starting point is 01:07:43 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
Starting point is 01:07:58 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.
Starting point is 01:08:23 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
Starting point is 01:08:38 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.
Starting point is 01:08:53 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
Starting point is 01:09:09 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.
Starting point is 01:09:27 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
Starting point is 01:09:45 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.
Starting point is 01:10:21 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
Starting point is 01:10:50 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.
Starting point is 01:11:06 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,
Starting point is 01:11:14 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.
Starting point is 01:11:23 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
