But how Fletch wanted to celebrate was to invite his friend Vaughn and a couple of dear friends. And he was planning on looking you in the eye in a speech and telling you how much he loved you. And what did Vaughan say? I'm not coming. I'm not fucking coming. I didn't know.

Yeah, but 21 years working, it's a long time. And we are officially radio's longest lasting couple. All the rest of them are gone.

What happened in April 2004? I'm just going to go April 2004 events. Well, we were still reeling after the World Trade Center collapse, weren't we? Yeah. I think I tried marijuana for the first time around about this point. Really? Illegally.

Oh, naughty. Same-sex marriage was legalised in Canada. Okay. There's a 365-million-year-old forelimb discovered in Pennsylvania. A what? Representing the evolution of fish to land-dwelling mammals. So they knocked that. Oh, that was all early April.

Here's a question for you both that I would love to ask. After 21 years together,'s like you're still together Because it works and you enjoy it What would it take For you to go I don't want to work with that guy anymore Like what Is there one thing that would make you go Fuck that I'm out

Oh I don't know Anything you wouldn't accept from each other I'm quite a homophobe I'm not gay are you I wouldn't fucking work with him if he was gay homophobe I'm not gay are you Wouldn't fucking work With a movie as gay Because he'd be trying to He'd be trying to

Fuck me the whole time Oh that's right Because that's what gay people Always want to Fuck every straight person Gay people Just No no no

That's good No that's good mate That's good actually mate No that's sweet Yeah mate No no no mate No no I don't know

So you're a homophobe So if Fletch was gay Then that would be you out? That would be it. I'd be out. You know? What could Vaughn do that would piss you off so much to the point that you went, nah, we're not friends anymore?

I don't know. Probably nothing. Because we've just been friends for so long now. Do you know what that's called? Unconditional love. Play it. Yeah, but he knows it. It helps to hear it.

What is that song? I love you unconditionally. Unconditional love. Who sung that? I don't even know this song. I don't know, but it feels like not the vibe of this podcast. No. Tupac.

Oh, really? That didn't sound like your impersonation of Tupac. It wasn't. Unconditional Love. It sounded like you were doing Tony Bennett or something. Yeah, I thought it was like Sinatra. I think it was this one. Stevie Nicks, Unconditional Love.

No, I think we need a better song. Is it Donna Summer? We need a better song. Donna Summer, Unconditional. No, that's not us. Oh, these suck. You've totally killed the vibe. Do you guys want to listen to your rock?

We're more Miley Party in the USA. Yeah, we are. That's more us. Gonna put it on the canvas, I don't need to put it on down the way. Oh, this one, this one, this one. It's Katy Perry, Unconditionally. Oh, no.

Play Firework. You know, that's my favorite Katy Perry song. You do love. Do you ever feel like a plastic bag floating in the wind? Thank you. This is your 21st birthday answer. We're at a house party. It's your 21st.

I don't know if it is. I don't think it is. Like a plastic bag floating on the ground. And it's going in the trash. Do you ever feel? Plastic, plastic bag. No, biodegradable. Will live forever.

Do you ever feel? This radio show is like a single-use plastic bag. They tried to get rid of it, but it's going to be in the environment forever. And if you want to smother someone, you can put it over their head and hold it tight. Yeah, you could. It's really tight. It's just like a plastic bag. You're right.

Maybe you guys will do it in 21 more years' time. I've had enough. You are smothered. It's time for a jewel plastic bagging. Shrek the Sheep, April 2004. Oh my God, I remember that. Do you remember that? Yeah.

Yeah. And then they flew it to a fucking iceberg. Let's just have a moment to think about how ridiculous that was. They flew a sheep that had been on the lam for like seven years and it hadn't been shorn. And it was really woolly and so it became a national celebrity.

Immediately. And then they helicoptered it. 27 kilograms of fleece which is madness. They helicoptered it onto a floating iceberg to raise awareness for global warming. That was why, right? Right. God, he was ugly, eh? Yep.

Oh, yeah. Shit all over. Dags all over. Died in 2011. Mean Girls was released? In April 2004? Yeah, great movie. Great movie. So we've aged like Mean Girls. We have. Yep. Still relevant. You can watch it without going, oh, God. fuck, you wouldn't say that now, would you? I don't know if you'd say that about our shows back in the day.

No, I was just really thankful for no podcasts of the early ones. Thank you.
