Starting point is 00:00:17 Happy Friday, Vaughn's away again today. He is. But you're son of the school holidays today. And you're actually flying out, aren't you, too? Yeah. You're hosting this weekend hosting the Australia. version of have you been paying attention? I am. You won't be able to watch it.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I think they illegally upload it to YouTube at some point. You can check it out there. Oh yeah, the airport's going to be chaos. Yeah, so it's always chaos. I think about half a million passengers flying overseas or arriving at Auckland Airport. And they reckon 477 will be travelling with in New Zealand. I have purposefully, actually,
Starting point is 00:00:57 packed a very simple carry-on luggage because you know me I always get pulled over. You do, yeah. And I've got a checked-in bag this time so I was like, I'm keeping that simple. I've got to get through. Where's my passport? Did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:01:13 Where's my passport? Really? Oh. Wow. You're not flying to crush you this weekend. You're going to Australia. Oh. So it looks like you're going home
Starting point is 00:01:25 before the airport, does it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. Do you not do that thing where you're like, okay, I'm going to go to the airport after work, I'll check my passport before I go to work. Yeah. You don't do that.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Yeah. No, I go. No, yeah. Okay, I'm just trying to think mentally. Anyway, whatever. Well, be careful. Play Z-N's, Flashborn and Haley. Well, if you needed more proof of the evolution of man and woo man.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Which, thank you. So, that millions of years ago. Like five or six, they reckon? Years ago. Yeah. five or six years ago, we evolved from chimpanzees. Far out, it feels like yesterday. It was COVID.
Starting point is 00:02:03 It was a tough time. So five or six million. 65 million years ago, the first monkeys. Yep. And then 30 million years ago, we became apes. Yep. And then six to seven years ago is where the human, the homo sapiens come in. Homosapians.
Starting point is 00:02:22 You really hit the homo on that. Well, if you needed any more of a direct link between chimpanzees and humans and our very own Haley Sproul. Yeah. Some university researchers from the University of Berkeley, California, have analysed the fact that wild chimpanzees consume the equivalent of two cocktails a day in the form of boozy fruit. Oh, like the kididoo.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Like, yeah, so they eat, and because they eat so much fruit. It foments. It foments. And by their weight and the weight of the amount of fruit, It's the equivalent of two human cocktails. No, what cocktails? Because we're talking a Nogroni. That's a strong one.
Starting point is 00:03:04 If we're talking about you drink, some sort of pink, you know, sweet thing. Sometimes the bars, I feel like the bars water it down sometimes. Yeah, I think they do as well. Sometimes they water it down. Yeah, do you know, mate. And remove the ice cube.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Show me how much liquid is in there. Yeah, exactly. Pull out that ice block. So they're getting a bit drunky-wonky. They're getting a bit boozy-woozy. Oh, that's so cute. I love seeing. Why are the other animals that get really drunk?
Starting point is 00:03:27 is it Keduru I love They get all sort of weird and funny Do they get a bit tipsy on the berries? On the berries On the caraka berries Which are they, is it only if they ferment Or if they're a bit rotten If they're like the rotten ones on the ground
Starting point is 00:03:40 What kind of animals get drunk Because I'm sure there's footage of A surprising number of animals can get drunk Monkeys and apes Yeah the monkeys and apes Elephants get a little bit drunk On the Marula fruit Fruit bats get drunk
Starting point is 00:03:53 Multiple birds get drunk Boars and pigs get drunk Bees become disoriented sometimes if they have too much fermented nectar. Oh, okay. So if there's a bee and it's like, I'm sure I've seen the video of maybe a bear or reports of bears getting tipsy on fermented apples.
Starting point is 00:04:12 You eat so much fruit. It would be quite cool if you know. Well, yeah, but I eat like ripe fruit. Yeah, fresh. Fresh fruit. I don't eat like fruit that's been on the ground fermenting. And sear so much of it that it's like fermenting your guts. I'll drink a bit of like combative.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Quefair water Like that can ferment That's like low levels Low low low low low low But I know there's been some that I remember they pulled a kombucha From some stores because It was a bit higher than
Starting point is 00:04:38 What was on the label Yeah I remember that was like zero point something Percent Yeah I beg you all today to YouTube Drunk animals Well great yeah
Starting point is 00:04:49 Because it is a funny watch Joyful Play ZMs Flash Vaughan and Haley There is a study this is out of the UK so you know take it with a grain of salt
Starting point is 00:04:59 we eat different things they eat lots of beans and eggs and black pudding and sausages whereas we eat nothing but hongy I think we eat just as poorly
Starting point is 00:05:10 as they do yeah literally eat the exact same food yeah now now and I want we say this with a grain of salt because there's no right or wrong amount of time
Starting point is 00:05:19 for gentlemen to last in the bedroom you know it's how we have a lot of real place You know, I have no opinion on this. Really? You don't have any opinion at all? I have some opinions. So, factors like alcohol, stress, experience and health,
Starting point is 00:05:36 obviously all impact how long a gentleman can last in the bedroom. Yes. But they've worked out the average session length based on age. Okay. Okay. I feel like all of these are going to be low. We'll go from age. No, I actually, it's not bad.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Okay. I'm happy with this. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Because you don't want, you don't want like four hours. Oh, my God, give it up. Have a break. Let's have a drink.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Let's have a cup of. Snacks. Yeah, you want a cup of tea. I've got peppermint, whatever you want. Maybe some electrolytes. Yeah, yeah. You know, like a half time of a rugby game. Stretch, I might have a mid-shower.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, whew, far out. Okay, 18 to 24 years old. This is the first age bracket. Five percent. Five what? Carry on.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Sorry, I've got the giggles because we're talking about sexy things and it makes me giggle. Okay, 18, so get it together. To professionalism. 18 to 24 years old. 5% 1 to 2 minutes. 13% 3 to 5 minutes.
Starting point is 00:06:43 5% over an hour. Again, come on. Making an average duration of 16.14 minutes. Okay. So they break it down as to why. High excitement and stamina, but quicker. Yep.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Like, quicker to get there. Pacing techniques like... You just said to dance, right? Just say pacing techniques. Yeah, pacing techniques like, you know, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, the radio station we don't talk about. Yeah. And an increased...
Starting point is 00:07:18 I got that, Shannon didn't. Increased use of condoms at a younger age. It kind of... All is impacting that time. 16.14 minutes. The next age bracket, which I also don't fall into yet, 35 to 34. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:35 21% 11 to 15 minutes, 15% 21 to 30 minutes. Making an average time of 18.29 minutes. We're up. Yeah, okay, great. And now 25s to 34s. Increased confidence, like we know what we're doing now. Yeah. And increased rhythm improves endurance.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Stress and time pressure does come in there, because we're adults now. Yep. So that's that. Things to do. We've got things to do. Busy, busy, busy. Come on.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Okay, the next age bracket. If I was a boy, this is where I'd be, 35 to 44 years old. Slight drop. Oh, okay. There's a slight drop from the previous decade. Hormonal shifts impacting this. And early erectile issues may start to appear at this age.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Oh, okay. Right, yep. Because I guess as well, you're like busier, drinking more. Maybe you've had kids, that kind of stuff. Average time, 17.4 minutes. Oh, okay. Right, yeah. That's good, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:27 That's fine. That's great. That's fine. Okay, the next age bracket. Fletch, this is where you fall in. Oh, just. 45 to 54 years. We've got another drop significantly three-minute drop.
Starting point is 00:08:36 We're quite busy though, aren't we? Yeah, 14.14 minutes. That's your average time from woe to go. Erections become less predictable around this age. I don't know if you want to chime in on that. They give some tips on how to improve that, but I can't say any of them. We're dancing around this stuff. Okay, the next age bracket.
Starting point is 00:08:58 This is something you have to look forward to in 10 years time. 55 to 64 years, 11.3 minutes is the average. It's really coming down, isn't it? That's taken another three minute hit there. Do you think it's because you're just like, oh, I've done this a million times. Especially if you're married and you're with the same person, like, ah, that's enough. They're saying at this point health and medications can start playing a bigger role. You know, you're probably on some more things that might focus now.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I've heard that medications can, yeah, interfere with that kind of stuff. Yeah, experience is obviously very increased at this point and focus on connection. You're probably with the person, you're very comfortable you're maybe having less one-night stands or maybe a, who am I to say? Yeah. Okay, and the final age bracket they looked at
Starting point is 00:09:37 is 65 plus, so 65 to 120. Yeah. Now, I'll tell you what, we've taken an utter whack here. Oh, no. Yeah. Eight minutes. Yeah, but life is short, you know. Life is short.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And you can't risk a heart attack at that age. We can't be having these long sessions. Yeah. Long sessions are rare. so they're saying this is long sessions are rare where if we're still doing it at this age which I hope we are

It is so silly, silly, silly, silly, silly that a silly little pole, silly little pole, silly little pole. Today's silly little poll It's all about movies Yes If you are considering watching a film
Starting point is 00:13:28 Do you, if you want to watch a film Do you read or consider film reviews Before you watch them? This popped into my head the other day Because I think I can't remember what it was And I saw a film That I loved and it was like terribly reviewed And I realised that I just don't care
Starting point is 00:13:43 Like if you enjoy it But if you're going to watch something new I get that you want to have an opinion You want to get some opinion Is it Amazon that has the I am I love that. Because IMDB is good. Like when you Google a film, it's always IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes,
Starting point is 00:13:58 and there'll be a Google user rating. And I always find the Google user rating so fascinating because it's always way out of whack with reviewers. And actual reviewers. And if all three of those are good, I'm in. I'm in. Yeah, you're like, all these people can't be wrong.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Anything that's under a 60, you've really got a question if you're going to commit to that movie. Yeah, like that. Paris Cowboy Muscle Movie That's number one on Netflix at the moment Horrendously reviewed But that's not what we hear It is called
Starting point is 00:14:29 Come to Paris or something like that Paris Paris Hang out, I'm trying to open my Netflix You can't because I kicked you off mine The Wrong Paris The Wrong Paris, okay The wrong Paris it's called
Starting point is 00:14:41 Watch with a big grain of salt Anyway so we asked today Do you read or consider film reviews Before you watch something new 64% on Rotten Tomatoes 6.1 out of 10 IMDB. I wouldn't watch that. Yeah, and that's just because of the muscles. And then do you know the thing that seals it for me,
Starting point is 00:15:01 55% like the film Google users? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because normally if something's like 60, 70, it'll be like 80, 90% Google users liked it. Yeah, yeah. You'd be like, okay, well, it's a, you know, it's not for the critics. Yeah, not for the critics, but it's just to enjoy.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah. Well, 54, it's quite split. 54% of you, respondees, said yes, they will consider reviews before watching something new. 46% said that they don't. Okay. Feedback. Haley.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Another Haley, great name. It's so bloody expensive these days to see a freaking movie. I'm not paying 20 bucks for a dud. Sorry if that's super out of the millennial coded, but I would rather buy cheese. So this is if you were going to the movies. Yeah, that makes sense. If you're going to go see a big film, you're like, is it worth my time and money? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I mean, if it's a film you've been waiting for, like it's the next big action film or something. Yeah, maybe. Neve says anyone writing a review isn't worth listening to. It rhymes because it's true. What rhymes?
Starting point is 00:16:04 I don't get it. Neve, I don't understand the joke. Say it, Carwin. Say it. Carwin, say it. We don't get it. It's gone over our heads. What she just said? Her message rhymed

Starting point is 00:16:41 shitty movies Like epic Oh my God Like epic movie Like epic movie Scary movie that kind of stuff. Only got 2% on Rotten Tomatoes and I don't care.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Meredith said, I'm an enjoyer, not a critic. So she doesn't care. Nathan says, no, everyone has different tastes and most reviewers aren't qualified. Interesting. Coming for the critics. Stacey says more recommendations from, I prefer recommendations from friends, family or husband.
Starting point is 00:17:10 If you, like, you guys could recommend me something, like you and Vaughn, and I'd be like, yeah, I'll like that. We often do this. Because we know what each other likes. Yeah, you have to do this. What was the one you told me? Because the Irish people, Kin. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Oh, my God, it's so great. Just for all. And they haven't made a new season because everyone's got so, the guy's in Daredevil. And everyone's so busy. Oh, that was such a great TV show. They've created their own monster.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Ashley says I'm researching the whole plot before I commit. Oh, no, you don't know, no, no. I want very little. I didn't even like watching the trailer sometimes. Yeah, because then you're like, well, we see that. Yeah, I see that they escape from the situation that.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I mean, they were always going to escape from whatever situation. The film is called Escape from a Situation. Do you know what I mean? And you're like, what a giveaway. Logan says, I need a sometimes option. I follow a few reviewers on YouTube whose opinions I respect. Typically, I go with my gut based on trailers, but the reviewers often point me towards cool films I haven't heard of yet.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Okay, here's an example. The Liam Neeson film taken 2008. Yeah. great action film. Great film. Great action film. Yeah, phenomenal. 7.7 out of 10 on IMD, 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, letterboxed, 3.5 out of 5. I thought it was a great movie. And Google uses 89% like the film. Okay, well, that's all over the show. It's all over the show.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Now, Jesse said, and I am going to read out the message word for word, and you'll have to excuse me. I think, she said, my husband is so anal about this. Okay, yep. He will read reviews for about 10 minutes for each movie and then compare all the Rotten Tomato ratings before selecting a film to watch. Yeah. That is a bit annual.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I mean, you've just got to, sometimes you just got to watch it. Yeah. So for today's silly little poll, we asked you do you read or consider film reviews before you watch something new and 54% of you said, yeah. Play.

Starting point is 00:19:17 Snoop Dog has cancelled his New Zealand show that he was going to come and do after he had, let's just say issues. The promoter. Yeah, yeah. Lost some name suppression, didn't he? Didn't he? And I think this was like kind of like
Starting point is 00:19:31 people brought it to Snoop's attention was like, hey, don't do this show. The guy's a dirt bag. Yeah. And so he cancelled it. But it's sad though because then the fans are. No, we don't get Snoop D-O-D-G. Stop scratching your face

Anyway, I shouldn't be saying that. I shouldn't be saying that. Don't quote me. Yeah. Harry McCleary is cancelled. Number three
Starting point is 00:22:26 on the list of the top six other dogs that you can see now that Snoop Dog isn't coming to New Zealand. I reckon a little bow wow should jump in and like he could bring okay bring his mate big bow wow was there a big bow wow I don't know I don't know I don't know because I feel like if you're little bow wow it's like
Starting point is 00:22:46 if you were like Carl Jr. Well he's growing up now so he's big bow wow so oh yeah little bow wow should come into a tour announcing that he is now officially big bow wow how old's little bow wow because I'm sure we were like the same age yeah he's probably definitely an adult no he's not cancelled no in the typical sense

Starting point is 00:25:12 Yeah. But you know what I mean? Like the cleaners, I hope that they just sort of swept up the sheets. Yeah. And it's sort of rattled around the industrial washing machine. Yeah, and then we're like, where did this come from? They don't know who owns it, what hotel. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:25 How many times it's been used. So the 2025 Airbnb host awards have been announced. have been announced. So this is New Zealand-specific, Airbnb, and they have crowned their host of the year. There's categories, best new hosts, like new Airbnb, best family-friendly stay, best design stay, like, oh, la-la. Best nature stay, best room stay, like you're just in a room in a house.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Okay, did the one best nature stay, did they have a bathtub buried in the ground and some candles? Oh my God, I did one of those in Hamilton with an outdoor. It was so nice, but like quite funny. Yeah. Being in a bath outside. Yeah. And it was a black, the best nature stay is the black yurt in Oauakura.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Oh, okay, so just out of New Plymouth. Yeah. Oh, wow. Black yurt, I can kind of imagine it, right? Yeah, you're right by the beach. That'll be beautiful. So host of the year goes to an Airbnb in Hawks Bay, Seafield View, Hawks Bay, North Island. And this is owned by a woman called Joe DeMancer.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Right. And she has won the host of the year. And her tip for all of this is that she likes to make things. feel special and like, you know, personalised. Yeah, because do you find when you stay at an Airbnb, sometimes they're trying too hard? Oh, yeah. Because they want, they know that they want that rating
Starting point is 00:26:39 because they live and die by, you know, the five-star rating. Totally. So sometimes I feel, yeah, but sometimes they don't leave you alone. Like, sex of, you know, in some lawn games. Yeah, like, I had a guy once, every day was messaging me. I was there for three days. I was like, what are you up to today?
Starting point is 00:26:57 You could do this. And it's like, don't worry about it. Unless I'm in a, like, foreign country and I know nothing about it. I appreciate host recommendations. But if I'm in New Zealand, I'm all good, bro. Sometimes they'll bribe you. Have you ever met had a bottle of wine or, like, you get free water bottles and, like, you get little chocolates left out?
Starting point is 00:27:14 I like it. You like it. I like it. So, yeah, she's given all of this advice, but I want to know, yeah, what is the worst thing a guest has done? Because you, if you were an EB&B host, it would be, you'd see some. things, eh? Totally.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Like, if you're going in and doing the cleaning, you're going to see some things and you're going to be, that place is left in an absolute mess. Yeah. I have a good Airbnb rating. Same. Better than my Uber one.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Do you know what I mean? I am very conscientious. Like, I stayed in Airbnb and I made the bed. My friend was like, why are you making the bed? Why are you making the bed? Because there's a small space. I just don't want to leave it feeling like a tip. If we sit in a hotel for work or an Airbnb or whatever,
Starting point is 00:27:55 I always, I'll put all the rubbish in the bin or whatever. Yeah, so I pull up the covers at least. so it just doesn't look like a tornado hit. But we're not only asking for hosts of like accommodation, but we will, you know, hotel owners or work at a hotel or motel or Airbnb, but also if you just had a guest staying at your house, maybe some friends or family. I'm trying to find my Airbnb rating to see if it's higher than yours.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Okay, well, let's open Airbnb quickly. Well, it just says I've got, I've had 33 trips and 25 reviews. Profile. I haven't had that many trips. No, well, fine. We'll find it during the song and compare. Yeah, we'll see. But, yeah, if you want to call now, 0800-Darlem, 9-6,000, how bad did a guest leave something?
Starting point is 00:28:38 Whether they were staying at your house, whether you clean motels or hotels. Like, what is the worst thing? Or, like, even if you had a one-night stand and then they, you know, absolutely destroyed your bathroom and then left. How bad somebody left your place? Whether you own an Airbnb or you work in a hotel or you've just had guests staying at your house. It could be friends' family, a partner. wouldn't friends leave your place a mess? I would literally never.
Starting point is 00:29:03 When you stay at my house, the only thing you do is hang the bath mat wrong and that's it. Do what? What? Oh my God. There's a way to hang the bath mat and Haley doesn't hang it right. I mean, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:29:15 How do you do it? It's fine. I mean, and you don't shower down the soap in the shower. Yeah, I know. And you have brought that up. I have brought that up. But aside from that, you don't leave like a poo in the bed or anything.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Or, you know, like you don't leave a hole in the walls. Not once have I put a hole in the wall or a poo in your bed. Which is fair, and I appreciate it, and that's why you can always stay. Yes, yes. So we want you to call, oh, 800 dials at him, 9696. How bad did a guest or a host leave your place? Liz, you host an Airbnb. Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:29:47 How long have you done this for? Oh, I don't know. How many years, actually? Right. But a while. Oh, wow. Do you have a good, what's your star rating out of five, Liz? I'm a super host
Starting point is 00:29:59 Wow Guys we are in the presence of a super host Oh my God Where is your Airbnb Liz? It's Queenstown Oh Liz We simply must come and say
Starting point is 00:30:12 We simply must Liz Now Liz What is the worst thing A guest has done In your Airbnb I think I think the worst one was One day I
Starting point is 00:30:22 Started to rain And she had all the kids clothes on the clothes line So I go down quickly grab all the clothes and fold them don't put them inside the apartment put them under shelter and then the next day
Starting point is 00:30:38 they went to leave and they wouldn't leave and I went down and said I've got a fast change over you've got to go I go in and look I've got to start stripping the beds and they had pushed the king size bed into the corner shift the bedside table smashed the lamp they ate cherries in the bed
Starting point is 00:30:56 the cherry stones were out the window in the window still. Cherries, they stain. The white sheets were stained red from the cherries and the kid hadn't flicked in the bed and obviously flipped with them. Yeah. Unbelievable. So I started yelling.
Starting point is 00:31:12 And I feel like you don't want to mess with Liz. No. Yeah. I was not a super host that day. Right, okay. But they hadn't left it in a super host way. And had they done anything else? Well, the place was filthy. Right. I run Airbnb and
Starting point is 00:31:27 their battle was to not pay for all the damages, was that I invaded their space by getting their washing in. Getting their washing in. That's just what a super host would do when it rains. That's what lovely Liz does when it's raining. Oh, Liz. There's been loads, like you haven't got time to hear
Starting point is 00:31:45 them all. How much out of poop do you have to deal with? A fair bit. It's a certain country that like to stand on the seat and just spray shit. Oh, okay. You need one of those signs Liz. You need a sign. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Okay, Liz, thank you. Good luck with your future guests. Good luck. Good luck with that, our five star. Wow. Some messages in. We had a guest stay at our five star hotel in Queensland. They made a sex video in the room and upload it to Instagram and tagged us in it.
Starting point is 00:32:16 What? What? Wait, wait, wait. They made a video and tagged you in it, like the accommodation? Yeah. I mean, I guess maybe it's good for business. Yeah. That is wide.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I was reading. Like, hey at Hilton Queenstown. There was an article. I read an article this week about an influencer that went to that famous mirror Airbnb in the, is it Joshua Park? Oh, yeah, yeah. And apparently they have a clause in the Airbnb that you're not allowed to film there. Film, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:41 And they got caught taking selfies and got charged like a couple of thousand dollars. Oh. They've got a fee if you use it for like photo shoots, like anything like this. Yeah, yeah. And I think it's mostly to stop like that kind of thing. Adult content. Only fans filming there. Yeah, but if you're going to make some adult content,
Starting point is 00:32:55 a mirrored room. I mean, it's perfect. I worked at a Hilton years ago and quite a few guests used to shit in the rubbish bins. There's a toilet right there. There's a toilet right there. This is brilliant. This is popping off.
Starting point is 00:33:11 We have an exchange student. He seemed fine and stuff. But when he left, we were cleaning his room and there were millions of contact lenses that had just been flipped around everywhere. Oh, my God. My parents, Airbnb, a holiday home and the place was left like someone left in a rush once.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Dirty nappies all over the house and the table was just covered with tomato sauce. I mean, that's giving toddler, isn't it? Yeah. My mother had an Airbnb in South Africa and one guest had too much to drink at the bar in the house and he went the bed and never told us and just booked out and left it like that.
Starting point is 00:33:42 At least pop it out in the sun until checkout, you know? I know. Fold up the sheets and be like, I'll leave a note saying I'm so sorry. Oh, sorry, I spelt my gatorade. Yeah, yeah. I would go down to the shops. Buy a power ride. Yes. Blue.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yep. get it and pour all over the bed and be like, I'm so sorry. Wait, but you'd make it worse. You'd add power aid to the piss. I'd rather say that it was power aid than piss. Yeah, fair cool. My mum and I cleaned an earbambe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:08 And one couple left jizz everywhere. No attempt to clean it up. Poor mum is still scarred. One time I found a sexy bra in the sheets that very much didn't belong to a businessman's wife. Oh, okay. Loving this. This is the scandal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:24 There would be so many stories like this. They're pouring in. I worked in a boutique hotel. You just tell me when to stop. In Queenstown, it was gay ski week. Oh, no, the gay, yeah, the gays, no. Yeah, look. It was a gay ski week and a couple staying in the hotel left the room.
Starting point is 00:34:39 In such, her words, a traumatizing state. There were corn nuts and bodily fluids and all sorts of matter everywhere over the sheets and duvet. And to this day, I tell myself it was toothpaste on the shower screens. Oh, jeez. Oh my God, we Airbnb are our own house when we stay away. A guest house secret. A guest had a house a secret wedding at my house. And I noticed there was lots of champagne bottles in the recycling.
Starting point is 00:35:06 They did break, and they did break a few things. But she made the mistake of using the same wedding photographer as me. And I saw all of her photos on Instagram. It was like, that's my home. Oh, my God. Taking selfies in the pool, right? That would be quite a good compliment for your home, though. It's a wedding venue.
Starting point is 00:35:21 We, Airbnb are guest room in our house And they decided to wash their clothes in our bath And then run the little bathroom wall heater all night To try to dry them Until it was overheating and flickering on and off That they were going to burn the house down I Oh no, that's from a guest
Starting point is 00:35:42 Now we're not going to, we're not asking you How bad was the Airbnb? You'll have to call next week when we do How bad was the accommodation Okay, this is a last. last one. We have friends who own a cleaning company in Central Otago are shocking the amount of cleaners that come back saying they've had to clean up meth in Airbnb's. What? Keep your meth at home. Don't take it to lovely litters. And use the toilet and use
Starting point is 00:36:09 the washing machine and use the dryer. And don't piss the bed. Oh, my parents found a bag of weed in the bedside cabinet of their Airbnb. We help them dispose of it, of course. Fletchbourne and Haley Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley Well it is of course the Women's Rugby World Cup at the moment and our gals The Black Ferns face Canada in the semifinals. Tomorrow morning
Starting point is 00:36:33 Bright and early Bright and early tomorrow morning. 6am. 6am kickoff. We've got Taylor Curtis from Sky Sports on the phone and you're currently in Bristol, Taylor. Yeah, yeah, got to Bristol early Sunday. Thanks for having me guys. Thank you for joining us.
Starting point is 00:36:49 No, no worries. Yeah, I've been in England the entire time with the Black Sun team from York to Exeter to Bryson, back to Exeter. Now we're in Bristol, and I can tell you, it's very colourful. Is it? Are you banishing to get a bit of a holiday in on the work trip, you know, if you're bouncing around the UK? Yeah, you've got to make sure the all pints taste the same, you know? Do you guys do a good per diem every day? Do you get a little bit of pocket money?
Starting point is 00:37:16 A bit of pocket money on the road? They have done very well to match I mean the dollar to the UK is crazy So you get your little padam And then double it yes Oh I love this Taylor's good this is good We love a work trip with a padam
Starting point is 00:37:32 We love a work trip with a padam Now how are we looking ahead of tomorrow morning Because Do Canada even know what rugby is We were amazed they were even in the World Cup Taylor We don't want to get coffee but we feel confident Yeah yeah No I love the spirit
Starting point is 00:37:44 I love the beliefs as well And I think we should hold on to that Canada are ranked second in the world at the moment. When did that happen, Taylor? Yeah, it happened overnight. Oh, bizarre. The last time we met them, we drew, and before then they'd be asked. But prior, we had beaten them about 16, 17 times.
Starting point is 00:38:04 So they've just come up through the ranks being involved in Pack 4 and WXV and all that kind of stuff as well. But they've just got a great rugby program with seven players and 15 players. Good for the game. Good for the game, though. Yeah, I know. We want to win this rugby world cup Fair and square You know we want to fight for it
Starting point is 00:38:22 Yeah You know we don't want to just sort of cruise there No no No because the victory doesn't taste as sweet But no the black turns look really good though Like I'm really stoked to see We've got Sylvia Brunt back in the midfield Because I think she can do some damage against these Canadians
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah I was just having a look at the line up So I know not a single one on the Canada team We literally just figured out that they're quite good Yeah yeah If you're going to look at any player from Canada out, I would focus on number 12, their second five. Number 12, Alexandra, Tessia. Alexandra, Tissia, she's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:38:53 She can play 10, 12, 13, but she's like the little maestro. Right, so you can take her out. If we want any kind of Canadian to have an ankle injury, it's her. Yeah, number 12. Yes, and they're number four. Okay, number four and 12, I'll do a little thing. Yeah, yeah. Some kind of voodoo thing, I do it.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I do a voodoo thing, yeah. Yeah, we can do that. I don't want to talk about it too much, but I do a bit of voodoo. So if they win this game, which they will, I have all the confidence in the world, then we're going to the final, and who will play? Who will we play? It'll be most likely England, just because they've had France's number, honestly, as well. So they play each other quite a lot in the Six Nations,
Starting point is 00:39:33 and the last time they played each other, France, we're up for it, but there's news they've lost three of their key players, one of their co-captains, so they're going in a little bit underdone, so England will be firing for that. Right, and are England the current world number one team? Yes, yeah. Yeah, okay. What are we third? Yeah, unbelievable here.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Isn't this, when did this all happen? They're in love with them. Yeah. God, absolutely not. Are you in Bristol seeing a lot of Kiwis walking around with their, you know, their black shirts on? Yeah, closer to game day, you see it. You see them starting to crawl out. Crawl out.
Starting point is 00:40:09 But because England's so big, I mean, a lot of the families, a lot of the friends, and families and stuff are touring around. I mean, they're going to Wales for the day. They're going to, I mean, some people have gone to France, Switzerland, and then they come closer to game day. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, I mean, you're at this side of the world. Why not, right?
Starting point is 00:40:27 They must have a good paedium. They must have a bloody lovely padium. Well, a kickoff tomorrow morning 6 o'clock, is that correct? Yes, covered from at Sky's 5 a.m. So we've got heaps of cool stories with shot throughout the week there as well. Oh, 5 a.m. on a Saturday. Taylor.
Starting point is 00:40:43 No, you stay up. Hey, there she is. Or you can just watch it from, if you're streaming on your TV, you just watch it from the start. But then you've got to hope that no one messages you or getting any news. No, no, no, no. I did that last time. And then you're like, everyone put their phones down. Well, give our love, personal love and blessings to the whole team when you do see them.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Say, Fletch for it and Hayley. No, I will. I wish you were the best. Lovely. Yeah, beautiful. Fantastic. Yeah, thank you so much, Taylor. Enjoy the weekend and enjoy the game. Thanks guys. I go back with the voodoo session.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah, thank you. The pins are out. 12 and what, which one was it? Number 12. Number 12. Number 12. Number 12, we're going to get her. 12 and 4, yeah. Okay, Amy, I'll put that in my voodoo list. Taylor, thank you so much. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Look, we've been actually talking there's some exciting films coming out.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Like, I've been watching because it's like festival season. Do you know why as well, I think? There was the big writer's strike. Yeah. And there was just a hold on everything. And now we're just getting everything. What's that? I saw the trailer for that Emis
Starting point is 00:41:43 Stone and Jesse Plimman's film where he like takes her hostage and shaves your head and stuff. That looks incredible. We were talking about the Leonardo DiCaprio film. That's getting rave reviews. Yeah, yeah. So all these trailers are coming out. These beautiful festival films, Cannes, Sundance, you know, the France film festival. Oh my God, art, art, art, art. But no, yesterday we were hit with the most exciting one yet. And I would say the most art ones. You know, this is art. I think this is art.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Is it? Camp rock! Camp rock! Exactly. Camp rock! Will you remember Emma Stone and baldhead in a few years? No, but you still remember that dance.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I think the Oscars will. I don't know that Camp Rock 3 is going to make it to the Oscars. I'm so excited for this. Camp Rock. It's so good to be back. So Camp Rock 3 officially announced with, of course, the Jonas Brothers.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Yes, all three of them are back. It's so nice because they did obviously break up and they've been really open about how hard it was for them. But to see the three of them just, like, thriving at the moment is so fun. Camp Rock 3 began filming this week in Vancouver. So we've got a bit of a weight on our hands here. And then the big question on everyone's lips. Demi Lovato.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I know. So they've posted a little bit of behind-the-scenes stuff to like tease this announce but and they've posted a cast photo which has a lot of like newbies who I don't know so they're obviously going to be the campers Demi's not in the photos
Starting point is 00:43:21 but she is tagged in the Disney Channel accounts post so we think she is going to be it she also came out on stage with the Jonas brothers at their tour like a week or two ago surely she wouldn't have done that
Starting point is 00:43:36 she's in it but not much do you reckon? Carman's written the script back here In the script, I reckon that I can't remember if this is how it ended Camp Rock 2 that they like kind of take ownership of the camp, the band. But if they have, it could be that they're going to do the camp. And then, oh no, last minute, one of their tutors has like pulled out, we'd better call up her old mate, Demi.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yeah. Now, hear me out. Here's an idea for a plot, a little scene of Camp Rock 3. This is a real, like, writer's table here. The Jonas brothers are at a picnic table. Mm-hmm. And a beer comes out of the woods and eats one of them. it's a horror movie oh my god which one
Starting point is 00:44:13 it's all like hey can rock and then a beer comes out Kevin no I reckon Joe Joe no don't you touch my Shane grey Oh my God you just You struck a Nick Jonas needs to be saved No no no we need to be saved It's got to be Kevin bonus Jonas
Starting point is 00:44:27 Oh bonus Jonas Oh bonus Jonas Jonas He gets eaten by a beer And the other Jonas brothers are sad Oh and then they open up the beer To like check the body and Demi Lovato's inside And she's like Oh my God I've been in here
Starting point is 00:44:41 For years. Play Z-M's Fletchbourne and Haley. Why do you sound so chipper this morning? Because I had eight and a bit hours sleep last night. And the night before? Yeah, the same. By the way, this is a man who wakes up at 4 a.m. And it's still managing to get...
Starting point is 00:44:59 Well, 4.30. 4.30. Still managing to get eight hours sleep. So you wear your watch when you sleep and it tells you the quality of your sleep and you've just received your overall score. The new iOS update, iOS. 26 for iPhones.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Yeah, I mean, you'd always get the sleep graph. But now it gives you a score based on how long you're asleep when you went to bed if you'd like wind down. And yours is. How many interruptions? So last night at 98. And I was asleep for eight and eight hours, eight minutes. If I wore my watch, I reckon I would have got six.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah. Six out of a hundred. It's confronting. It is confronting. And sleep is very important. What's the basis of health? When we, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, what was his name? See, you're forgetting things because you're tired.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Which one are you? Thank God Vaughn's not here because I won't be able to tell. It's only you, Fletch. Yeah. What was that incredible guy who we talked to? Johann Harri. Johan Harri. Yeah, he's written loads of books about this stuff.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Loads of books. And I'm currently reading his Focus book. Stolen Focus. It's in my, I've just remembered it. It's in my side table. Yeah. I just remember it. I've got to keep reading that.
Starting point is 00:46:09 But he... Wait, so you've lost. focus reading the book about losing focus. I'm aware. Interesting. I'm very aware. It's quite ironic that, isn't it? So, remember he was telling us about the brain at night and how it
Starting point is 00:46:22 like purges and it like cleans itself and how you need sleep? Anyway, we're talking about sleep because not only do you want this for your overall health we know these things. It is at the centre of all well-being really, getting a good night's sleep, restorative sleep. Also, it's making me
Starting point is 00:46:39 ugly. and just this study has found that just one bad night's sleep you will be able to see a physical difference and I totally feel that every now and then Vaughan and I will arrive at the same time and we get into the lift and the first thing we do is go and we look in the mirror because you know me and Vaughn both have terrible sleep
Starting point is 00:46:59 health I guess habits will look in the mirror and be like holy crap you know you just look terrible but it's not just that feeling of tiredness and that is telling you you're not looking good. It is true. You have not, restorative sleep, which is the good sleep, fuels collagen production.
Starting point is 00:47:17 That's the thing that's going to stop my face from Sagan off. Yeah. Or a surgery in Turkey. It lowers your stress hormones, which helps repair your skin at night. You lose, your skin becomes dehydrated when you don't sleep, weakens its barrier, accelerates visible signs of aging.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Even just a couple of nights of poor sleep is going to impact away. Yeah. sucks because if you're stressed about a special like say your wedding day or a big day and you're anxious or you're going somewhere you're meeting someone like you're not going to sleep well and then you're going to look worse
Starting point is 00:47:51 so it only makes the whole thing worse yeah I know ahead of the days that you want to be looking your best you'll be like stressed the night before you won't be sleeping so this is really I was going to say this has really inspired me ahead of my weekend but you probably won't get a lot of sleep I'm off to Melbourne I've already got plans
Starting point is 00:48:08 Yeah, you're working as well. I'm working over the weekend. I, you know, I will address all my health and sleep in 20, 26 and a facelift in Turkey. Play ZM's Fletchhorn and Haley. Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Now right now, I want to know if you have an unconventional bestie. Like you don't, it's not maybe like you've got a big age difference or you're like completely, polar opposites.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Generational difference. Generational difference or, I don't know. It's a bit complicated. Maybe your bestie is an X, you know, and then you split up and then became best friends. Yeah. I was just reading a really interesting article about this woman who was saying her experience of her two best friends.
Starting point is 00:48:56 You've got to pick one. Do you know what I mean? It's best. Yeah. It's best. She knows. She just doesn't want friction. She, no.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Friction. So she, a heterosexual female, her two best friends, two heterosexual males and then people always question they're like oh my god how does that work people always assume that there's something romantic going on they do don't they yeah how frustrating that must be to have a platonic male bestie people just can't wrap their heads around it can they really can't though they must be sleeping together but she was like we we teach each other things we learn lots of things from each other we they actually have more in common than i guess people would expect yeah and she just gets questioned it all the time
Starting point is 00:49:38 And it just made me think, like, you know, my best friend, we're quite, we're not similar in personalities, but we make a lot of sense, we listen to the same music, we're both the exact same age, you know, like we make perfect sense. But I want to know if you have an unconventional bestie. Who is your unconventional bestie? You know, not just your typical, we met at school and, you know, we grew up, same age, same kind of hobbies, or same music or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Unconventional besties. I just read an article about a girl who's two besties are platonic males, and a lot of people have a hard time understanding it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:50:38 and it's like we've never been a part. That's the sign of a true friendship. I like those friends you can see after a year or two, maybe because they live overseas. And it's not awkward, it's just like... Totally. Whereas I feel like, you know, once radio kind of, you know, we leave radio, we'll probably never see each other again.

Starting point is 00:52:28 That it never has and it never would It's like shagging your sister You know what I'm like? Jagging your brother. My unconventional bestie is 20 years older than me. We work together and she and I somehow just connect and care about each other and it's awesome, but there are definite differences like the stuff I was doing in my 20s. She definitely wasn't in her 20s.

And then you just thought, oh yeah, maybe this is what it is And there's a lot of people that are friends with exes It's just better off his friends Yeah totally We know we like each other so much
Starting point is 00:53:30 We just shouldn't be together My bestie is my unofficial twin His mum delivered me And my real twin And then one year later on the same day Had her son Once we met we just hit it off And had the same sense of humour
Starting point is 00:53:44 I met my best friend on a bushwalk She asked if I was a model And we've been a separable Ever since we're like sisters I mean I would love anyone Who's talking to be like I'm sorry excuse me Are you a model Do I look
Starting point is 00:53:55 Like a model That's my Touching Yeah These are really beautiful stories ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Haley Fact of the day, day, day day, day, day
Starting point is 00:54:11 I do-dood do do do do do to do do do to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Today is the finale of Pickle week and actually with Vaughn being sick I've sort of enjoyed taking over this week that we chose actually Fletch on Monday with our listeners. We did. Pickle Week. Vaughn has left us the facts. I'm just the deliverer. Friday's fact of the day for Pickle Week is that pickles have to bounce. What do you mean
Starting point is 00:54:43 they have to bounce? I've got a pickle. Oh no, it's not a full pickle though. It's a sliced. I've sliced, the bread and butter pickles. So a whole pickle? A whole pickle. In 1948, two men in Connecticut were arrested for selling pickles unfit for human consumption. State food inspectors found the pickles were
Starting point is 00:55:00 substandard. They looked fine but they were mushy and not preserved properly. To test them, inspectors decided to drop the pickles from one foot high. A good pickle would bounce thanks to its firm skin and brined texture. These didn't, they just splattered on the ground. The court used that as proof of their poor quality and find the men $500 each, back in 1948. That's a bit of money. Yeah. And destroyed the batch. And this created this legacy of bouncing pickles. of bouncing pickles to test whether or not they have been preserved properly. Wouldn't you just give it a squeeze? They are squeezy.
Starting point is 00:55:37 The moment you hear that they're bouncy, you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Makes sense, yeah, because they're a bit like, boing, wing. Yeah. The pickle bounce test was never properly written into law, but the case made headlines at the time, and since then it's been repeated in food history books and trivia for years and years and years. Okay, so this could pop up at a pump quiz, one of those quiz nights.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. Okay. Connecticut officially, later, legislated that a pickle must bounce to be a pickle. Wow, okay. Now, imagine if a food inspector came around to like a burger joint was like,
Starting point is 00:56:08 I'm here to test these pickles. Open up this jar. Open up this jar or these here are pickles. We've got to put it through the pickle bounce test. Boing, bling, boing, these are good pickles. You're good to go. What do you wash it off and just put it back in the jar? You never waste a pickle.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Never waste a pickle. I'm a food inspector is the one who dropped the pickle for the pickle for the pickle bounce test. I drop it on a clean piece of paper or something and then ate it. And then I'd eat it and they'll be like, that's my pickle tax. Yeah. I'm taking this pickle with me. So for today's final fact of pickle week in 1948,
Starting point is 00:56:38 two men in Connecticut were arrested for selling bad pickles and that created the pickle bounce test. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do do do do do do do do to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do I'm and Haley Play ZM's Fleshworn and Haley We've been told producer Karwin that you have a surprise for us and we're going to be excited I do.
Starting point is 00:57:13 So I'm actually already really enjoying my day. So I don't I don't see how it could get better. It could go downhill, who knows. I mean, hopefully not. I'm flying internationally. I mean, the worst way would be if it crashed. You did only a few hours ago say, God, where is my passport?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Oh, by the way, everyone who has been listening to 6 a.m., I am flying internationally today, I have it. Apparently, she leaves in the glove box. It's not on your hand, though. I'm not here to be judged. I'm here to be accepted for who I am. How does anyone leave a passport in a glove box? Well, don't do that anymore,
Starting point is 00:57:43 because now people know that if they break into your car, they can get your passport. Just saying. And they know that I'm a Mazda. So now we're looking through the glove boxes of Mazda's being like, where's that passport? And it's a good passport too. Okay, it's out of the glove box.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Okay. So as I do every day, I was going through my emails last night. And I was alerted to the fact that it's an anniversary today. Either of you know what that anniversary would be for. Well, we had September 11 recently. Dark. I was like, this is not the break. Dark, dark.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah, we've done that one. 19th of September. It has to do with Shannon and I. Shannon, you started at the beginning of a year. No, it's not that. Shannon, do you want to go into the studio maybe? Are they in love? Are they in love?

Starting point is 01:00:13 Oh, perfect. Remember when I in the group chat was like, hey, choose a flavor of a cake and don't ask me why. I wondered why that was weird. I thought that was weird you asked us and then we didn't get a cake. I think people are going to want to. Oh, ready? Three, two, one. Happy birthday to you.
Starting point is 01:00:29 Way, wow, wow. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Judy dreams. Just a fire truck. Happy birthday to you. I'm going to cut a slice and just sample on. ear because I think when we talk about carrot cake people need to know what it tastes like. I'll
Starting point is 01:00:46 cut through my face. Do you guys scream when you hit the bottom? That's what I always did. No, you have to yell at who your boyfriend is. Who's your boyfriend? Who's your boyfriend? Was that a thing? I never knew that was a thing. It was with girls when you cut cake and you hit the bottom. You have to say you're crush.
Starting point is 01:01:02 No, I thought it was when you were twisting an apple thing off and you go A, B, C, D. Okay, I've really bullshit. Okay, we don't have a lot of time here just to watch you painfully cut a cake. Have you ever cut a cake before? Oh my gosh. Have you ever cut a cake before? This is a massacre.

Starting point is 01:01:34 Play ZM's Fletchbourne and Haley. Well, I hooked you in with a tease here, Georgia, and you have remained. Mm-hmm. I'm sticking around. I said to you there is a nail trend that is returning. One of the most iconic nail trends, I'd say, of the early 2000s. OPI did it. They were known for it.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Why am I just thinking like a solid fake, like an acrylic nail? That's all I'm thinking. Crackle nails. Oh my God. If you are, oh, my God. Fletch, let us fill your head. I don't know what's happening. So crackle nails, I'm just going to go.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Google a photo for you. Crackle nails were OPI did it and there was a, it was a nail polish colour on so it was red and then you get your top coat, you'd get your crackle coat say it was purple and you'd paint it on it would look like it was all purple and then it would start to crackle
Starting point is 01:02:28 and you'd see the red coming through. I'm just going to say it, Haley you 100% would have worn it. One, majority of the time. I utterly frothed this love. That screams Haley. It screams anyone that was a leopard print, eh?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd get the black crackle top coat, and you'd put it over the top and you'd have colours underneath. When was this a thing? Early 2000. Okay, I was going to say it's got big emo. No?
Starting point is 01:02:54 You think a little bit later, Carlin's disagreeing. Yeah, definitely later. I had like 10 of them. Yeah, I definitely had it when I was like primary and intermediate. Yeah, we're definitely in the same age. I went to be mean, but you just told me,
Starting point is 01:03:06 I've been too mean to you today. I've actually been ruthlessly bullied in the workplace today, and I won't stand for that. There's this photo. Carwin and Shannon a picture of me that's so bad that Carmen Weed her pants a little bit. Oh my God, oh my God. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Okay, so context, context. Yesterday, so I had to get a photo of Haley to apply for something. Let's just leave it at that. Let's just leave it at that. And anyway, so I said to Haley, I need a photo of you at a white wall. And I took it on my portrait mode,
Starting point is 01:03:36 on my iPhone, which is really good quality. And I said, I am... Emphasis on the really good quality. I said to him, I was like, do I smile or do I not smile? No, neutral. I said neutral expression. I said it just, no one is going to see this photo. It's not publicly available.
Starting point is 01:03:52 And yet he's absolutely shown everyone. It just needs to go on this application form and then, you know, no one else. So I just stood there like this. And I said to her, oh, that will do. I'm not going to show you the photo though. Because he knew I had a date last night and he knew that I needed to be hyped up for it. Yeah. And anyway.
Starting point is 01:04:10 I feel like a doll. Well, I don't think that will do. I did the application and it just made me laugh so much. Show it, show it to Georgia, show it. I showed Carwin and Shannon and they pissed themselves. Literally, she never said
Starting point is 01:04:22 a little bit of whee's came out. I'm going to come over and show Georgia the photo of Haley that I used. I can't wait to see it again. And the ID. Now, Haley, it screams that you might have committed a crime. It's bad as well.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Like a thug. Yeah. There's just something. That doesn't look like you. You're just silently peeing yourself. Now she's laughing. But you're gorgeous. Just in every other photos.
Starting point is 01:04:51 It's confirming that the phone is not gorgeous. No, it just doesn't look like you. Because you've seen my passport photo, right? It's stunning. Oh my God, it's stunning. It's stunning. It's stunning. I'm going to be loud into the country because they'll see my passport and then they'll be like, where's the visa?
Starting point is 01:05:04 And the sirens go of, go, go, go, go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Catfish, catfish. Catfish. Okay, I'll show you my passport. honestly, one of the most beautiful photos of me ever taken. And I'm gutted for the year of 2028 when I have to get replaced
Starting point is 01:05:18 and I'll be 10 years older. That's actually awesome for a passport when you can't smile. Yeah. Come have a look. Yeah, she's kind of smising. You're kind of smising. You're Tyra Banks. Yeah. It's a great passport photo. That's a passport photo. Oh yeah, that's hot. Do you know, I'm hot.
Starting point is 01:05:33 I'm hot. Kim Kardashian could never. Yeah, I mean, it's good. You know, beauty is a scale and these two photos show the scale.
