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.

That'll be an imminent one.

The podcast image will change. I don't know. We know. Fletch looks exactly the same except more tan this year. More tan. So my daughter last night was on the show. I said, oh, we had a photo shoot and I showed you the photo. And do you know what she said?

What? I did not know Fletch was Maori. Oh, my God. I sent the photo to Aaron and he said, you look hot. Vaughn looks great know Fletch was Maori. Oh my God. I sent the phone to Aaron and he said you look hot Vaughan looks great Fletch looks Maori.

Yeah. Wait but did he say I was still attractive? No he just said Maori. Oh wow. Do you remember that time we were in Christchurch with a cricket

and someone said to you I didn't know you were a Paki. Fucking hell. I'll never forget that. I'll never forget that. Jesus Christ. I do tan really well in summer.

You do. A Paki. That's. I do tan really well in summer. You do. A parkie. That's why I was so disappointed with my ancestry.com you know. White to white. Just so fucking

something in there. I know, but I've been just at the beach because I've been just biking to the beach after work. It's beautiful. It's lovely. Gorgeous, enjoy it. Yeah, I know, but I've been just at the beach because I've been just biking to the beach after work. It's beautiful.

It's lovely. Gorgeous, enjoy it. Yeah, thank you. And I'm 16 kgs lighter. So we've all had a great photo shoot. I'm 13 kgs lighter and I don't have pink hair anymore and I didn't wear pyjamas this time. We just sort of got that fucking one wrong.

I'll be honest. We got that photo shoot real wrong. I tell you what, it was a swing and a miss. It was a swing and a miss. It was a swing and a miss. So when they said they're going to do new photo shoots, which generally we don't love doing them, we were actually stoked this time.

But not only has Vaughn lost a lot of weight and trimmed the beard, the issue last photo shoot was Vaughn's smile. And we talked about this all the time. It's an ongoing issue. Yes. I can't fake a genuine smile. I just can't. Give us a smile. Don't do it. Whereas like you and I

Hayley are just genuine lovely smiles. Consummate professionals. Yeah. I do a big mouth. I'm going to say I had the least direction for the photo shoot. I watched actually I watched both of you this year and you killed it. We were great. I hate it so much. Great photographer.

Yeah. Great photographer. Great stylist that all added up. It was nice. It was good. And great. I hate it so much. No, but you were great. Great photographer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great photographer, great stylist. It all added up. It was nice. It was good. I mean, obviously I had my days in Milan when I was, you know, 16, 17, 18. You know your angles. You know your angles, you know your size. And then I blow out, of course, and now nobody hires me.

No one hires you. I've still got the training. Yes. But the amazing moment was, so we do all these shoots together, but we do individual moments. And as the photographer, michelle is snapping away they're popping up on a laptop and vaughn it was like vaughn's turn to go and knowing he hates them but like we're like wanting to like amp each other up for the shoot so we were like they'd be like yeah yeah we love this is going great and we're

looking at the photos and i was like i said said to Michelle the photographer who we know I was like stop stop there and this photo comes up and it's just a moment Vaughn's giving all the poses it's a moment a fucking genuine smile has been captured

like look at this thing wow yeah Vaughn like bright eyes genuine smile nothing fake about it teeth look good. I don't even know what happened.

I know. I just blacked out. I know. And then I came to and everybody was going crazy. And I think you even captured the moment on video. I did. People were there, like Katie, who we've worked with and known for the entire time we've worked on radio. She witnessed it.

She was almost in tears. Yeah, she was. Listen to this. This is the moment that we- Wait, are you going to plug that into your phone? Yeah. I've got a dongle. Have you got a lightning?

Excuse me? I thought she was USB-C. No, I'm team lightning too. Are you? I'm on an iPhone 12. I'm on a 14. Are you guys all lightning as well? I'm lightning and it's a work phone.

Oh, babes, I'm a USB-C. Yeah. Oh, wow. You know what a USB-C stands for We're USB cunts over here Sorry that we beat That'll leave it Fair call That's getting bad

Fair call Okay listen to this This is the moment I've plugged in my povo phone Okay This is the moment that I was like Filming the thing to try to show Vaughn his beautiful smile And the room just lost it.

A smile, a genuine smile. There's applause. You don't look like a prince. You don't look like a prince, nice. Back it in your calendar. It's all centered. It gets bigger. There's hugs happening.

There's hugs. I like it bad. I like it bad. There's hugs happening. There's hugs. There's about 14 people singing. No, and then he fucked it up. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it again. But honestly, like, look, keep an eye out for the marketing because, Jesus, beautiful smile

on the boy. I reckon because, you know, You know sometimes Yeah I don't know If that was the natural out I know you recognise That as the natural out I know you recognise That as the natural Into this podcast

And there was a little pause But I wanted to Addendum that When we Oh god That's funny because Just literally five minutes ago We roasted Vaughn

For finally knowing The natural out of the podcast As a group We all found that out No but I just wanted to add Addendum Literally five minutes ago, we roasted Vaughn for finally knowing the natural out of the podcast. As a group, we all found that out. No, but I just wanted to add, addendum. Sometimes in the photo shoot, they'll take your face and the one time they're really like, well, your face looks like, and just Photoshop it onto all of the other versions of it. Of your body. Again, that didn't add anything to the natural out.

I can cut this, but this bit sucks. We found that out. Cut. art. I reckon cut this bit. This bit sucks. And we found the out. Cut. Okay. No, I reckon leave it. No, leave this in so people realise that Vaughn does not let the natural art. I do know the natural art. I just wanted to defend myself.

There was a natural art before. And here's the next one. Oh, there you just did it with a breath, you stupid dick.
