Fletch, you've been hot from day one.

Thanks.

Oh, God, I'm deep in the Facebook.
I'm back to that time that you had abs, Vaughn.
Oh God, bring it back.
Man, how good was that?
I'd fuck that guy.

A work colleague shows you a photo of him with abs in the beach.
Do you say, hey, man, I would have fucked that guy.
Show me them titties.
Somebody commented
On one of our videos
On TikTok this week
Is there HR in New Zealand?
Yeah
I know
Jesus
How do you guys
Get away with saying this stuff?
We just say it
We just say it
We just say it
No apologies
So I went to buy
Shit we still haven't got there
That's good though
I went to buy
These flowers
The florist used to just be
The side of the road
Caravan thing,
but now they've got like a port-a-com situation.
I know where you went.
Beautiful.
Yeah, Kumu.
I don't even know the name of the place,
but if you're driving through Kumu and you're heading west,
it's on the left-hand side.
It's the place that's not fast food.
Bingo.
It's the place with no Indian takeaway.
There's a couple of florist places,
but that one's sort of standalone inalone in the middle of a boom.
Yeah.
So I went in there, and they had exactly the roses, and I was waiting.
There was another lady ordering, and I won't go into the details, but she'd been through the fucking ringer.
Oh, really?
She had been through.
The lady in front had been through the ringer.
Was she getting flowers just for-
I think she was literally getting flowers for herself. Oh, good on her. She'd been through the rings. She was she getting flowers just for... I think she was literally getting flowers for herself.
Oh, good on her.
She'd been through the rings.
She was getting peonies.
Oh, my gosh.
What are those?
What are those?
You'll know them.
They're not a rose, because I asked.
I got the question.
They're not a rose.
They're a ball flower.
Remember, they're like that.
They're so expensive.
You pay like $20 for one.
They're tight.
And they can't be grown in New Zealand's North Islands
because they need
a reliable frost
before they come up
from a bulb
and they won't flower
unless there's a reliable
series of frosts.
So they're a sought after flower.
She was getting herself
some peonies.
But once they open,
they go quickly.
Yeah, you've got to
they ball
and then they
you've got to cherish them.
Yeah, cherish those peonies.
So there were some of those and she was
getting some of those
and as I said she
went through the
ringer so the woman
deserved more than
flowers in my opinion
but good of you to
just be um pesting
and lingering enough
to listening and
taking information
if you've ever been
in a port-a-com with
flowers all around the
sides there's just not
enough there's not
much room maybe wait
outside maybe wait
outside oh I didn't
want to get wet I
didn't want to get wet I I didn't want to get wet.
I didn't know how long it was going to be.
So I was just like in there and I was looking at the other flowers because I love flowers.
Yep.
And so then it got to my turn.
But the Irish lady right in this florist had that demeanor where this woman was telling
her about the bad stuff and she was just that sort of relaxing force.
A presence.
Presence is probably better than force. Force sounds a little forceful. No, force is good. I don't get that. But sort of relaxing force. A presence. Presence is probably better than force.
Force sounds a little forceful.
No, force is good.
I don't get it.
But she was a force.
She wasn't passively just taking it all on board.
Oh, no.
She was really engaging with her.
She knew what to say.
And the Irish accent, of course, was one of the...
I asked her where she was from.
Kilkenny in Ireland.
Oh, where the Kilkenny's from.
Yeah, where the beer's from.
Yeah.
I had one of those just the other day.
Yeah.
In moderation.
Not a bad drop's from. Yeah, where the beer's from. Yeah. I had one of those just the other day. In moderation. Not a bad drop in moderation.
Yeah.
And she was just dealing with this lady.
And then anyway, then it was my turn.
And I said, oh, I'm after some.
Did you feel like you had to come up with a story?
Nah.
I didn't.
She kind of said, oh, that lady, you heard,
suppose you heard a lot of that.
And she's, gosh, she's been through it.
And I was like, oh, yeah, it's real tough.
Then she started me.
Not, like, sad, but she changed.
For that woman, she was, like, this compassionate.
But then I was talking to her about my wedding, and she's like, oh, yes,
and I've been married about the same length of time,
and just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
She's one of those people.
Great at reading people.
Yeah, wow.
Great at reading people.
Did he start crying?
Almost.
Did he start opening up?
Just like free therapy. It was free therapy that smelled real good because of all the fresh flowers. Oh, my. Greater reading people. Did he start crying? Almost. Did he start opening up? It was like free therapy.
It was free therapy that smelled real good because of all the fresh flowers.
Oh my God, what dreamy therapy.
So then we talked about peonies and then we talked about another sort of flower and then
we talked about ulstramarius, which is a flower I've got a lot of at our house.
Yeah, I bet you do.
I bet you do.
And I was really finding it hard to keep those contained and she's like, oh, you've got any
spare?
Like, drop them off. It was just a lovely and then i got the rose she's like have a great day
and i said i i will have a good day and i will tell you what you've made it significantly nicer
oh that's nice thank you very much like she was finally getting something back see this is what i
love this is what this is my problem with qr codes right we miss these opportunities you know
me anytime we go to a cafe or restaurant we sit
down as a qr code i hate them because i'm like we're missing an opportunity i know because you
guys like it's quick it's quick and you can pay you don't have to do that thing at the end where
you split the bill but these human connections we're missing out on them i love it when this
happens yeah it's a very female thing to do i love that you lent in and that's i know because
i always make friends of people and I'm quick to connect
I think it was the whole thing
it was the proximity
like the closed quarters
yeah
the fact that
flowers
flowers are beautiful
kind of emotional thing
yeah
the woman in front of me
who had opened up
it was just this perfect storm
beautiful
I'm going to go today
I live nearby
I'm going to go today
and get myself some flowers
and maybe open up
I've got some things
on my chest
tell her I sent you
she's like hi
use my discount code
hi what do you want?
She should start booking an hour slots for these therapy sessions.
And at the end, you get a bunch of flowers.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Great idea.
Floral therapy.
Genius.
Because I watched also there's something mesmerizing about watching a florist construct a bunch.
Oh, I know.
From just a bunch of like rogue roses.
No, they've got a vision.
They're artists.
Artists.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Stunning.
I'm going to go today.
