This is Fletch, Fawn and Hayley's Big Pod.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Brought to you by Chemist Warehouse, the biggest brands at
the lowest prices.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Good morning, two minutes past six. Welcome to the show, Fletch,
Fawn and Hayley. Happy Wednesday. ZM's World Tour, eight o'clock
this morning. Another chance to go in the draw to
get to Morocco. All thanks to Intrepid Travel.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Nice.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
I've actually been looking on the map. It's so close
to Spain.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, it is. Really didn't quite realise just a little skip.
It's just a hop across.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Skip across.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I think it's even closer than Australia is to New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like so close. Across the Mediterranean,
isn't it? Yeah. Really making me reconsider my trip next year. Well,
and you've got the top six for us soon. Yeah,
AI's having a real moment. I don't know if you
guys are across this. One ex-AI employee basically said within
the next 10 years there's a 10% to 20% chance
that it'll kill us all.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I'm just enjoying life before that happens, you know? I'm
sort of just like, have at it.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Come at it. But one of the things that'll happen
on the road to the AI apocalypse is it'll steal
all our money. Oh, God, really? It can take all
our money. And AI cyber attacks on banks that will
drain our accounts. Well, joke's on you. There's nothing to drain.
Joke's on you. Just take the overdraft. Yeah. Take the mortgage.

(01:22):
That'd be nice. Oh, no, you took my negative money away.
If you put it all back to zero, that'll be fantastic.
I've got the top six places to keep your cash
so AI can't get his.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Little digital fingers on it. Nick, so we love our
true crime here on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Oh, God, yeah, we do. And we've found a list
of the countries with the most serial killers.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
The ZM Podcast Network.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Is this show real?

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Hayley.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Guys, great news.

Speaker 7 (01:47):
Go on.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What's the great news?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
The annual report on serial killer statistics 2026 has been released.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I'd wait for this every year. We're getting towards the
end of the year, you know, word of the year,
serial killer of the year. Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Well, it's been released. Now, so I've just, I've done
a little look into this. This started in 1992 at
Radford University in Virginia and then it's become a collaboration
project With Florida Gulf Coast University, they do this every year.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You've got to have at least 10 serial killers. Oh,
we just fall short. As a country to get on
the list. Damn it. I know. And have we even
had a serial killer? Yes, we have. How many people
did Minnie Dean kill?

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Minnie Dean was the Xbox baby lady.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Back in the old days.

Speaker 8 (02:31):
1800s?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Or early 19? Yeah. Okay. Early 19 maybe. But. She
was found guilty of infanticide. infanticide, infant infanticide. I don't know.
Not a word I say often, thankfully. Yeah, and that's
the spray that, you know, you get your pesticides, your herbicides,
and your infanticides. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know.
To keep kids off your lawn. Yeah. And prickles and

(02:54):
kids and dogs.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
I think with her, they never knew the complete number
because it was, you know, documents were terrible in the
late 1800s.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Hayden Poulter was a New Zealand serial killer who murdered
three people in Auckland in October 1996. I don't know. No,
is that enough? I mean, we don't want him to
have done more. No, and obviously, yeah, there's three people
that died. Yeah. Well, he died in prison, thank God,
so he's dead. Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
But at different times, or was this a spree? Um,
hold on. Because a spree's different to a serial. No,
it was three. Three murders. At different times.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Well, no, we're not condemning the murders, but again, it's
not enough to get on this list.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
So that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
So to get on this list, your country has to
have at least... 10 serial killers, there is a by
far winner on this list. The United States has 3,803
documented serial killers since the 1900.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Oh my God.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Accounting for 62.9% of the total in the data set.
So no other country has 200 documented cases. England comes
close with 188. Russia follows with 177.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Wait, wait, wait, wait. The drop from first to second
is huge. It's huge. But do you know number four
on the list? Our bloody neighbours. Australia. Australia is in
fourth place.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Do you know how many identified serial killers Australia has
had since?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Meaning they've killed multiple, multiple, multiple. Yeah, since 1900. 153. Jesus.
That's a lot. That's a lot, eh? Is it the
Outback and the long stretches of like... It might be.
The Hills Have Eyes was set in Australia.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Have you ever seen that?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh, yuck, that movie.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
So there's actually been research, like this list, this news
article that came out had some research and spoke to
some people about why serial killings have declined, thankfully, and
they reckon it's a whole bunch of things.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
We're better at finding them? Surveillance, like people aren't... What
do you call it? Hitchhiking. Oh, yeah, yeah, true, true, true.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
There's technology. We've got phones with us. Improved information sharing
between all the agencies, like police.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Sort of catch them after one situation if they are
going to do it versus... Exactly.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Because they say homicide rates haven't declined. Homicides are still
up there.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
People are still murdering each other all over the place.
Just not.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Because I watched the doco that kind of followed the.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Investigators of the Night Stalker. Yeah, that's... And it was just...
It was an amazing doco, but, like... And he moved around.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
He just kept moving around, and it was just... Back
in the day, it was just... They just couldn't keep up.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah. They were just like, God damn it, we can't
find him. One step behind. Like, it was just the
local police kind of office doing the investigation. They didn't
talk with anyone. Even in California, it was nuts. Whereas now, yeah,
so much more connected. And DNA and everything like that, yeah.
That's good. But crazy that Australia's, like, four on the list.
So they're followed by.
Japan. Japan? Yeah. Japan, what are you up to? What

(05:58):
are you up to, Japan? Wake up, people. Yeah. India,
South Africa, Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Mexico. And then we
head down to the small numbers.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
China.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's another thing they say, China and Russia are on
this list, that a lot of the information isn't publicly.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Available to researchers. That's what I wondered about Russia. They
wouldn't let it all get out, would they?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
You have these huge populist countries, but they don't have
the information sharing that, say, America does.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
China, you're not. Where it's public info. You're not doing
your numbers.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Can we just stay on true crime for a spot longer?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah. Well done, New Zealand, for not making the list.
Good to be per capita, though. Yeah, we'll probably pull
our weight. Are we pulling our weight per capita? Well,
I can only find that one guy that I mentioned
before as like a listed. And he killed three people.
We're good boys. Also, we're too small.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Because like you can't even go overseas without running into
a Kiwi.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
And also, our country's too skinny. Were you going to
ditch your body? You know, like in America, Australia, there's so–
all these places you can find the outfit.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
We've had mass murderers, but we haven't had serial killers. Yeah. Yeah,
there you go.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
So speaking of, to keep it dark, I watched a
documentary that was so good that I was like– it
was like 9 p.m.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
And Mike and I were like, okay, let's just go.
Mike Hosking? Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
When I talk about the Mike that I'm dating, everyone
knows that I'm talking about Hoskinger.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah. I know. Or do I just use a mic?
Does this Katie know? Does this Katie know? Oh, Katie's
on board. Yeah, sometimes she joins us. I've got to
go to bed, Hayley. I've got to get up early
and bash those beneficiaries. Tell everybody not to vote for Labor.
I say, what can I do, my love? This is
coalition chaos. No, Mike, your boyfriend, Mike. Boyfriend, Mike. It
was late. It was a school night. And we were like, okay,
one more episode because we're cliffhanger.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Look for the episode, not bloody there. It's a three-part
HBO doco. And it was recommended on like, I follow
a lot of like documentary Instagrammers who are like, you've
got to watch this one.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Recommended on that.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
And it's about an investigation into a murder. This woman
was convicted of the murder of her ex-husband and his
new partner. And then it kind of follows that because
then it was taken back. But it also follows these
two elderly people who were just obsessed with the case.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
They mortgaged their house to finance the lawyers. I read
about this. I read about this. Yes.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
And so it kind of follows not only the crime
but also the people who were like, no, something's not
right here in Investigator and in the New York Times.
So it's called A Killer Story and part two is
out tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
From the unmoderated comment section, this is the top six.
I did see a guy on Instagram yesterday saying, my
least favorite sort of person at the moment is white
guys who worked for AI companies for ages, developing AI,
who are now like, oh, man, we shouldn't have done that.
You've done that. He's like, we wouldn't tolerate it from

(08:52):
anyone else. Yeah, you're so right. But there's so many
of them.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Who's the actor that was in an AI movie recently?
Is it Andrew Garfield? Is he doing something?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yes, he did something.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
He's doing the new, what is he doing? He's playing
one of the.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Creators of AI. Antropic or something. Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
And then he said after doing the movie, he doesn't
use AI anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah. Because he was like, he learned too much about it.
He plays OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. And it's being made by,
is it that Gardenio guy? What's his face? Is that
he making it?

Speaker 5 (09:29):
We've got half the information.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
We really pay attention.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
He learned so much about AI and its power for
the role that After wrapping, he was like, and I
will not use it anymore.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Doesn't use it anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
So the UK government has warned that criminals, cyber criminals,
could be three months away from using AI to steal
from bank accounts.

Speaker 9 (09:49):
Don't.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
And that they're working closely with the British banks to.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Shut it down. I need that, though. Shut that shit down.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
I was definitely wondering this recently. I was like, what
happens when they can just fake your two-factor authentication, get
into your bank account?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Can we talk about this gym class thing? Were you
part of this? It was overseas, yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
So, Carwen, you were telling us this morning, right, about
there was a girl who.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Am I allowed to talk about this? I don't know why.
I'm feeling like I can't.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, I saw it on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
I just don't know the exact details. Well, don't worry.
We're already giving half details of everything. Details light. She
said to her AI personal assistant, if a spot pops
up in this booked gym class, book it as soon
as it becomes available, right? Yeah, basically. But then, obviously,
AI is, like, super smart or whatever and went into
the back end and just kicked someone out of... their
spot and put them in.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
So if I went to Les Mills, it won't, you know,
who knows, but if I went and I said, I
want to go to the spin class and they say
it's full and you say to AI, okay, let me
know if something comes up. Instead, they just went into
the Les Mills system, for example. It wasn't, but it
was overseas. It was like an American gym.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
That's crazy. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
I know, and all the companies are just going to
have to have all their cyber security top notch.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
The money in my bank account I sort of need.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Also, we've got that deposit scheme now. So you're guaranteed
your money's safe up to $ 100, 000 if the bank collapses
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, right. Does that include like AI criminals as well?
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
And also $ 100, 000 for most people, you'd be like, oh, man,
you know, I'm protected.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
But if people have more than that, you're like, ugh.
Are we going to be using AI to stop AI?
And then that's kind of like when the Americans armed
the people in Afghanistan against the Russians, and then when
they didn't have the Russians to fight, they were like, well,
we've got these guns now.

Speaker 9 (11:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know? It seems we don't ever learn a lesson.
It's like when we introduce possums for a fur trade,
and then all of a sudden there's too many of them,
and then, oh, we'll chuck some rabbits and some ferrets
in there too.

Speaker 9 (11:45):
No, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
We never learn. The top six places to keep your
money to keep it safe from AI. Number six on
the list, pickle jar. No pickles, obviously.

Speaker 9 (11:54):
Clean it.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
But those things do up tight. Yeah. I don't mind
if my money smells like pickles. I'm quite happy.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
I'd be happy to pull out a 20 and it'd
smell like pickles. But what if you've got a bit
of money? Say you've got like 20 grand.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Multiple pickle jars. Okay.

Speaker 7 (12:07):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
You're getting it out in hundreds, tens? I'd get it
out in hundreds. And then what are you putting that
under the floorboards? Spread it out. Make a map. I'd
probably put it in the fridge behind actual pickle jars. Okay.
In the fridge is good.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Number five on the list of the top six places
to keep your money. Under the mattress. A bit of
a classic. It's a classic. Yeah. Unless you're a billionaire,
that'd cause a lump. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Although if you've got one of those mattresses that's got
a sag, it might kind of pop the sag up.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't think billionaires have saggy mattresses. No, I think
if you're a billionaire, you get a new mattress every year. Okay.
Do you reckon they get one every year? They don't
hit the sweet spot until a few years in.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Oh my God.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
How often does a, you know, it's like that thing
Kim Kardashian uses a new towel every shower.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah. Ridiculous. What, like a new new towel?

Speaker 8 (12:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Wait, she doesn't wash them. Oh, maybe I mean fresh towel. Okay, yeah.
Every shower. Well, maybe it's new. No, new towels are shit. Yeah,
they're the worst. Yeah, new towels need, like, some wearing in.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
9696, if you're a billionaire or a multi-multi-millionaire, how often
do you change your mattress?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Because mine's like... I don't know. A decade? Like I said,
my cat pissed on it. It's 10 years. I'm not
ready to give it up. It's in its sweet spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a good mattress. Does it still smell like cat piss?
It smells more like the cleaner that I used to
get rid.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Of the cat piss now, which your brain is now
attached to the thought of cat piss.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's like lavender toilet spray. It just smells like granddad's
huge shits. Yes, lavender always smells like granddad's huge shits.
Number four on the list of the top six places
to keep your money so AI can't get it. Ziploc bags.
And then a little bit of olive oil on the lip.
Have you ever tried to open a Ziploc bag when
you've got like a greasy hand? That's genius. You just
can't get a grip on the little plastic lips. Slippery,

(13:45):
slippery grips. Yeah, slippery grips. Right. A little olive oil
on there. Number three on the list of the top
six places to keep your money so AI can't get it.
Bottom of the pool. Put it in one of those
vac seal things. Vac seal it. Chuck it in the pool. Wait,
wait it down. Good luck getting down there, robot.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yeah, the robot, because I was like, a human could
see it, but you're talking about robots. Most pools will
be run by robots soon. Cleaned by robots.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
PH tested by robots. They'll know there's money in there.
They'll be like, something's wrong with the PH.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
The computer AI will speak to the robot pool vacuum
and it'll suck your money out.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
It'll say, suck out that money, babes, and it'll give
you half. Okay. Well, what about number two on the
list of the top six places to keep your money
so AI can't get it? Inside the robot vacuum cleaner.
They'll never expect it on the insides of one of
their own. You reckon? Yeah, that's a good call. Inside
the robot vacuum cleaner. They don't have a camera inside. No.

Speaker 8 (14:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Why would it be in me? Yeah, exactly. They might
know they're full, but they don't.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Know what I'm... Yeah, I'm so full of dust, so
full of dust.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Can't get it out. And number one on the list
of the top six places to keep your money, ice
cream containers buried in the garden. Yeah, good. Because ice
cream containers keep the water out.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
But remember in Boy, the goat ate it.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
The goat ate the... And do you remember Pablo Escobar
had heaps of his money and it started rotting. And
we went mouldy, eh? We went mouldy, yeah. Those big
plastic barrels.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
It didn't matter because he was one of the world's
richest men, so he just made more cocaine.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
You could afford to whip up another fresh batch.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Whipped up a bit more coke. That is today's top six.

Speaker 2 (15:08):

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Hayley.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I don't know, I've never been anti-PDA. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Public displays of affection, but a hand-holding and kissing and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
And when I see it, I.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
I don't mind it.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm also not anti-PVA. Hell of a glue. Oh, bloody hell.
Great to make a second skin out of. Great for
a fake skin in class. Yeah, definitely. There was a
couple at the gym the other day having a little PDA. Oh,
at the gym. At the machine. I was like, not here, yuck. What, like,
well done, you've done this many squats, here's a kiss. No,
just like, he, he, he.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
It's just like, not here, yuck. No, no, no, we're
working out. I don't need to see that.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
We're working out so that we get hot partners. If
you're already going, sorry, don't do that. So this was
a study that was published in the Journal of Personal Relationships.
Now these are like big psychological studies and they search
far and wide and this and that university. I've tried
to break it down because it looked into PDA and
how couples feel about PDA and whether or not if

(16:08):
one of you likes PDA and one of you doesn't,
whether you're going to be compatible. The biggest finding they
took away from this was that what happens behind closed
doors matters more than what happens in public. So private touch,
if you were connected behind closed doors in the way
that you are not, the way that you exist together
in private, when no one else is watching, has far

(16:30):
more weight and meaning and significance than it does if
your partner likes to hold your hand or show that
they like you in public.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
But basically couples... Holding hands isn't PDA, though, is it?
It's the lighter version. Yeah, some people wouldn't like that, though. Really?

Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, but maybe, you know, hand on the back of
the neck or hands in the pockets and that kind
of stuff. Hand down the pants. Yeah, I would go
hands down the pants. In the mall. In the mall.
Cuffing the balls when you walk around the malls, that
kind of stuff. Yeah, we've got to cuff the balls
in Westfield. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone's got to. So
they looked at the.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
Obviously, I mean, this is kind of obvious, but the
couples that were the happiest out of everyone that they surveyed,
It was they had to match. So if they really
both enjoyed displaying affection in.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Public, they had to both like it.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Right.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Or if they both hated that but enjoyed being physical
at home.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Cuddles on the couch at home. Cuddles on the couch
at home but keep it away from friends and family.
Has to match up. They were happier.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
If it was mix matched, like you're like, why don't
you touch me or hold my hand in public?

Speaker 1 (17:31):
And they're like, oh, I just don't like that kind
of stuff. That's when there was a little bit of.
Try to say anything though, right? Mismatched anything. Mismatched sex drives. Yeah. Totally.
Thoughts on finances. Mismatched anything. Yeah, totally. Thoughts on vegetables. Religions. Vegetables.
Like they hate mushrooms and you just want a creamy mushroom.
Are you kidding me? Who hates mushrooms? Grow up. I know.

(17:51):
Grow up. Mushrooms today.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
I'm actually wearing a hat.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Mushroom obsessed.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
So sometimes when they do these big surveys, especially relationship stuff,
they keep out the gays.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh, okay. Not this time. The gays are in. So
not only the gays in on the survey. Yeah. Straight couples,
heterosexual couples.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
Yuck.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Get a life. It's 2020, sir.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Less comfortable with PDA than homosexual couples.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Really?

Speaker 5 (18:20):
So like same-sex couples were more likely to be publicly
affectionate with each other than heterosexual couples. So men and men,
women and women. more likely to be publicly. I mean,
depends what country you're in. I mean, you could probably
get murdered for doing that.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Don't know if I asked him in Saudi Arabia. You'd
go too hard on the Saudi Arabian PDA if you
were a man or another man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So,
I don't know. Get out there. I mean, if you
like it, you like it. And if you don't, you don't.
And if I'm doing it, look away. Because I'm balls
in the balls. I mean, she's going full on. She's
going front, front, down the front.

Speaker 6 (18:58):

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Now, there is a South Korean computer animated comedy show
made by Pinkfong, which I believe Pinkfong made Baby Shark.
Baby Shark. They made Baby Shark. Pinkfong was behind Baby Shark,
weren't they? Baby Shark. So it's a million volt. These
are the people who make it. Now, apparently, it's bright
color palette aligns with the visual spectrum of pets, like

(19:23):
cats and dogs. We've watched it. And dogs are loving
this TV show. What do you mean you've watched it?

Speaker 5 (19:27):
I saw this on Instagram, and people were like, my pet,
my dog, my cat is mesmerised.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
What's it called? Seelock. Seelock. Look, Fletch, there's a Groodle
like Ralph watching Seelock. I'm going to have to try
this for Major Murray Fluffington. Cat's going bizarre.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
And I was like, Rolly never gets into the things
that like, your cat's going to love this.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
He's always like, no, I'd rather sit on a plastic bag. Yeah.
Like your cat.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
And so we put it on the other night. It's
so funny too. It's just, it's kind of like Pingo.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's like.

Speaker 8 (19:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So here's some, I've got, if you put on my auxiliary,
I've got, this is from episode one, season one called,
you can't stop me from sticking my tongue out. Yes.
And it goes like this. It's a big fat seal.
He's going. I love this. I love this. He's woken
up another seal and that seal's like looking at him
and he starts poking his tongue out. This is smart

(20:16):
from Netflix because now dog owners are just going to
leave their TV on Netflix on repeat all day.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
But when I put it on, I was like, surely
this isn't going to work.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't even think you need to be a dog.
Vaughan's just completely in contempt right now. I'll tell you what,
a couple of gummies and this would go pretty hard
on a Friday night.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
But Raleigh just like came in and then just was like,
Looked at the TV, sat down, was just like watching this.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
And it was like, he was mesmerized. And it's because
of the oranges and the blues. Yeah, so apparently the, yeah,
the color spectrum and it's like no words. It's just
like sounds. Because that's what my dogs will hear things
and like, look, like a mess. you know, something's on
the speakers. They'll look and be like, what's that noise?
But yeah, they never watch screens.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
My cat will go crazy if there's birds or balls
on the screen. If there's sports, he'll get up and
try and attack the ball.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Well, this is just, yeah, apparently visually so pleasing.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
And I like can't believe this worked, but Raleigh was like.
So cats and dogs works. Okay. Well, what's it called? Sealook.
Sealook on Netflix. S-E-A-L-O-O-K.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
The Fletchborn and Hayley Big Pod.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Now, yesterday was the Emmys. Technically Monday in America, Tuesday
we get it. Now we're talking about it on Wednesday.
So this was the 78th Emmys and it was hosted
by an interesting choice, Mariska Hargitay, who is the longest
running character on a primetime American TV show, SVU.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay. Sorry, Law and Order SVU. Okay. Which is in what,
season five?

Speaker 8 (21:51):
5,000?

Speaker 1 (21:51):
I've never got into that show.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
She's played the character since 1999.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah. You haven't got into a police procedural. I know,
just that one doesn't ever tickle me. Wait, what?

Speaker 5 (22:00):
You love SVU, PCR. No, I've never watched any of those.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
In all seriousness, guess what season Lauren or SVU is
up to. Oh, probably up to like 30? Oh, okay. Well,
she's played the character since 1999, so it would be
about 30. Yeah, it's 28. Season 28. So she's been
in all seasons. She must be making bank. Is this
a show Taylor Swift loves?

Speaker 5 (22:24):
So there was a sketch in the Emmys yesterday and
she did like a little cameo SVU thing that apparently
Swifties was like riddled with Easter eggs.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Everyone's like, what does she mean?

Speaker 5 (22:35):
So yes, Taylor Swift loves this show, but she was
the host and I think she did a really good job.
She made lots of good jokes for a dramatic actress,
but there are some comments that, you know, comedy just
sort of is not everyone's forte.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Because usually they'll get a classically funny person. This was
the opening song.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
That was a little bit panned.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I love TV screens.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I know they're not real horses, so don't. Yeah, so
it's sort of, you know, like someone. That was weird.
I didn't like it. I love rock and roll, take
on the Joan Jett classic, but you know. It's hard. Okay,
the winners. So, okay, let's talk.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
I'll end with the list of TV shows you must watch.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
But we need to talk about a couple of great moments. Okay.
Zendaya and Custom Prada. I mean, you guys, right? Custom Prada. Oh, Vaughan,
you love Custom Prada. I love Custom Prada. You know
what I mean? What is Custom Prada? She's in a
Custom Prada gown. Toyota Land Cruiser Prada. That's right.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
And on the red carpet, someone said to her, over
this way, Mrs.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Holland. And she was like... And gave this little smirk.
To be fair, what is her last name? No one knows.
Zendaya Holland? Just Zendaya.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
And then when her and lots of Spider-Man references towards
their area and when they were clapping, they've both got
their big.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Wedding rings on. Okay, so it's official. So that happened.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
Worst dressed, Shailene Woodley. That's all I have to say.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Look it up.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
Shailene Woodley is wearing, it's like an op shop sneezed
on her.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone said it's what Jonathan Van
Ness would have worn to meet someone in RuPaul in
like 2010. Yeah. It's a really weird outfit.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Michael J. Fox was on it and it was really beautiful. Oh,
that was so cool. It was absolutely amazing.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
Some really great moments and some great sketches. But here
are the shows that you must watch. And Fletch, this
is validating for you because you've seen most of them.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Best drama, The Pit.

Speaker 9 (24:20):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I haven't seen it. I love The Pit.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
It's a back-to-back win. And then Noah Wiley won for
lead actor.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Because I think because it's not like your normal medical
procedurals where it'll just be an episode. It's an hour
of every shift. And you just see what these nurses
and doctors go through.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's horrific. I'll get into it.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
I just think hospital dramas are so overdone that I
sort of feel like I'm like, eh.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Nah, you'll love it. It's great. It hooks you in.
Best comedy is Widow's Bay, which I just started. Love it.
I loved it. I watched it over the... It's wild.
So Woody Harrelson.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Did he.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Present the award? Because if you've seen this video of
Woody Harrelson just like standing amongst the people from Widow's Bay,
but he's not in Widow's Bay. He's not in it.
He's just kind of there. It's like, what are you doing, Woody?
It's like a dark horror comedy.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
So it's their first season of Widow's Bay, the most
decorated comedy in Emmy history, 14 wins.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, this is why Apple won the most awards, Apple TV.
A new England mayor trying to boost tourism on his
island must navigate strange events suggesting it might be cursed.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
So funny. It's really great. Best limited series, DTF St.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Louis.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
I haven't seen it. It's on my list. David Harbour,
Jason Bateman. Seven wins overall.

Speaker 5 (25:28):
Lead actress in a drama, Ria Seahorn for Pluribus, which
I haven't finished.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Oh my God, that season, that's incredible. And hurry up
and make the next season. Yep. It's incredible. You hurry,
Vince Gilligan.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Now, lead actress in a comedy, Jean Smart, making her
fifth win for the same role, which is a record.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
For Hacks. For Hacks. Which is a great show. And
it wrapped up kind of nicely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At
the end of the last season.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
So she's tied now with Julia Louis-Dreyfus for most Emmys
by a single performer.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Okay. Veep. Veep. So that's amazing.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Lead actress in a limited movie, Sally Field for Remarkably
Bright Creatures.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
That's incredible.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
And the big record breaker, Matthew Rhys became the first
person ever to win two lead acting Emmys in one night.
Comedy actor in Widow's Bay and limited series actor for
The Beast in May.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
He's an incredible actor. He's amazing. And he took some
time off. Yeah. In Widow's Bay, he's just incredible. He's
so funny. So he won two. Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Won two lead acting Emmys in one night for limited
series Emmys.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
And comedy actor. So, look, there's all the shows.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Just even the list of shows and categories, it's just
good to go through, even the people that missed out
and didn't win, just to pick, like, the shows.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
That you should watch. All the nominated shows you should watch.
They're all brilliant. Yeah, they're so incredible. And just, like,
work your way through them.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
And who's the chick from Hacks who always goes with
her comedy partner and always dresses up funny?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
They win as Kylie and Tim. Oh, Hannah... M Binder,
is that her co-star? Yeah, she went as the Emmy statue.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Spray painted her body gold and she's just holding this
globe like this. It's very funny. Actually, a really good
Emmy's all around, despite that opening song falling a little
bit flat.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
The Fletchborn and Hayley Big Pod.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Fletchborn and Hayley, silly little po, silly little po.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little po.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Silly little po. Well, silly little poll today is do
you know who you're voting for in the general election?
Do you know what day it is? November. November. It is. Oh,

(27:44):
that didn't. Google it. Did I Google it? That's weird.
What did you Google? 7th of November. Okay, how many days?
There we go. That was actually the top one because
I knew 52 days. 52 days until the general election.
It's not that long in the scheme of things, isn't it? No.
It's going to fly by. God, then it'll be bloody Christmas.
You've got to vote. That's always the thing. I don't
care who you vote for. Just vote. Otherwise, shut up. Yeah.

(28:07):
You know the worst person you know? They're probably voting. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
I don't think whatever side of the political spectrum you're on,
we don't have a lot of charismatic leaders at the moment,
do we?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Nah, not at all. We're stuck with some really dud fish,
wet fish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some sloppy fish. I mean,
I didn't vote for John Key, but he made us laugh.
You know, he was a bit of a mess.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
He had a hot dog down his gob and he
couldn't put it.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
He minced around. He did the three-way handshake. And the leaders,
other world leaders liked him. Always a good chant.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
Just send a very charismatic, if you don't like her, whatever. But,
you know, like she had a bit of global appeal.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I mean, Chloe, she's the Riz Queen. Lovely. Say no more.
Two takes. You've got her number now, don't you? I do.
Do you know who you're voting for? Don't. Get started
on that. Do you know who you're voting for in
this general election? The options were yes, no, and I
don't plan on voting. Yeah. 45% of people know who
they're voting for. Made up their mind. 49% of people

(29:06):
not sure. That's a big swing. Wow, that's a lot
of swing voters.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, considering all these polls out there are like pretty
even as well.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yes. And 6% of people said I don't plan on voting.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
And that's a lot when you break down the actual
numbers of people that voted in our poll.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
So that is 239 people that voted don't plan on voting.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
And then a few thousand. Some countries make it compulsory. Yeah. Yeah,
they do. Yeah. But they never really enforce not.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
They just like do it or you're in trouble and
you never get in trouble. Um, so. what doth the
people say the people say as follows uh Lottie said
I live in the UK and found you guys on
social media years ago I can't contribute but thank you
for asking.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Oh hello well you can contribute in your own election
but that's a mess over.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
There Well, it's a mess everywhere. It's a mess everywhere.
We're in a pickle. Sharon said, I thought I was sure,
but now I'm not sure anymore. Sigh. Back to the
drawing board.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
It just seems as well like when you look around
the world, just swings from left to right or right
to left.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
And you do a couple of years of right and
you're like, no, let's try left. And people just aren't
happy because no one's ever happy and nothing's ever getting
fixed or made better. We hate that. We'll try the
other way. Yeah, and then that doesn't work. I have
seen every politician around claiming the Auckland City rail link.
Was their idea? Yeah. Everybody's claiming that. No, we did that.
Because it looks pretty and it's nice and it's working.

(30:30):
It's almost like some infrastructure for the future would be
a great idea. It's crazy, eh? How will we pay
for it? Yeah, how are we to know that we
would need that? I won't be voting. Politics is boring,
so I feel like I don't follow it enough to
make an educated vote, said Alana. Well, you've got to.
So I won't bother. Plus, they all lie and suck,
so it doesn't really matter. So there's a website every year? Yeah.
What is it? And you do the quiz. Website.com. www.website.com.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Now, you do it, and without knowing anything about the parties,
you go in and it will ask you a series
of really easy questions.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
How do you feel about this? How do you feel
about this? And it puts you on the thing? I
feel like a lot of the news organisations set these up, yeah,
at the election time, yeah. What party should I vote for?
Blossom up. Oh, no, that's. co. uk. Whichparty.nz, a 2026 election quiz.
Which party matches what you stand for? Five-minute free quiz covering...
23 policy questions. Yeah, but how do you know that

(31:22):
National didn't set that up? Well, you don't. That's what
I'd do if I was a political party. Yeah, and
it's like, do you want to help people? Yeah, every
one of them.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
It's like, did you ever do that careers quiz at school?
It was just basically funded by the.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Military. The military. And it was always like, you should
go in the Navy, you should go in the Army.
It's like, absolutely not. I got that one. What are
you into? Entertaining people, making people laugh, being creative, writing?
You know what's here? The effort.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
What?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Air Force band. You reckon the Air Force? You're great.
You can do the Air Force stand-up comedy. Yeah, I could. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam replied saying, I'm just letting you know that I
live in Australia, so I won't be participating in this poll.
Don't encourage this one. No, I like to hear from
people when they don't feel they can participate. Honestly, at
this point, it feels like we are the circus and
all the politicians are the clowns with the big open

(32:05):
mouths that you put the ping pong ball in and
being told to vote for your favourite one. It's hard
to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys. Yeah, fair.

Speaker 7 (32:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Wow. You've got to get a lot of lemons to
make a lot of lemon cheesecake, you know. You've got
to break a lot of eggs to cheesecake. And make lemons.
I'm making a lemon cheesecake in this example. Yum. That
sounds like a good cheesecake. Yeah, nice, because it cuts
through the sweetness. Yeah, it does. A little bit of tartness.
Ash said, all those that aren't planning on voting better
not be planning on having an opinion for anything for
the next three years. That's the contract. Yeah. You've got

(32:35):
to lump it, suck it up, and shut up. I
vote for who my husband decides will be better for
our mortgages, business, and future finances. Excuse me, Bronwyn, did
this message come from the 1800s? Wow. I put zero
thought into it at all. Better living, everyone. That's not
what Kate Shepard wanted. No. Kate Shepard didn't stand on
a soapbox and paint some signs so you could say,

(32:57):
I'll just do what my husband tells me to do, Bronwyn.
Do the little quiz. Do the little quiz. I'm a
little bit disappointed. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
You could even go on AI and literally say, break down.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
No, because AI will tell you to vote for AI. Oh,
you reckon? AI will tell you to vote for Kate Shepard.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Could you not go on and say, like, break down
the top line, sort of what the parties in New
Zealand stand for?

Speaker 3 (33:14):
You might be able to, but it'll just scour Reddit,
and then you'll be in a horrible place.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Actually, I would ditch my advice. Yeah, no AI. Abby said,
I'm a nurse, and no government has ever worked wonders
for me and my colleagues.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
God, I mean, if you've been in a hospital recently,
you realise how incredible our nurses and medical staff are.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
You're just like, you were just doing your best. Amy said,
exercising your right to vote on a silly little poll,
but not the general election is insane to me. Yes. Well,
this one's way more fun, isn't it? Yeah, it is. So, yeah,
go to WhichPartyNZ, take the quiz. I'm about to do
it right now. Yep.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
Yeah, because I've done it once before and being like,
I'm a greenie, I'm a greenie, and it was top.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I did it last time and it was top. Yeah. Yeah. So,
Little Pole, do you know who you're voting for in
general election? 49% of you, unsure as yet.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
This is great.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Someone was sharing on TikTok, 61 people took part in
the first CRL city rail link.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Correct. Well done. Well done to you. You're getting there.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
The new train system that's opened up in Auckland over
the weekend, the first CRL pub crawl.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
61 people took place.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Amazing.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
When was it? It only opened. On Sunday. Did they
do it on Sunday? They had a Sunday session. It's
only Wednesday. It opened on Sunday. Oh, this was two
days ago. They uploaded it. Did they do it on Monday,
pub crawl?

Speaker 5 (34:40):
No, it would have been Sunday and uploaded on Monday.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
So, yeah, they got on the train. They started in Britomart.
And each stop you get out and you find the
nearest pub.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
You have a beer. You get back on the train.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
And by the time it's time to go home, you
get back on the train and head back into town.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Wait, so you start at the Waitemata station. We could
do any route.

Speaker 7 (34:57):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
And you... You go to the Brit. We were at
the Brit, weren't we, the other weekend? Okay, so you
start at the Brit. Yep. I mean, it doesn't matter
what pub you choose. Does the Brit do a Guinness?
Because I'm primarily, if we're doing a pub, I'm just
doing Guinness at each stop.

Speaker 7 (35:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
You could do whatever.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
You could just, like, you choose whatever line you're going
to go. Like, I just put one into AI and
I said, we're going to start at the Waitemata Station
and we want to go in this direction and it
just gives you, like, a rundown of nearby pubs.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (35:21):
So you could go Waitemata, you could.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Go to the Brit pub, which we love, and then.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
head up a little bit to the Te Wai Horotiu
station and go to Vulcan Lane, go to the Forge there,
then get out at Karangahape Road.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
You could go to Gaybar. Sorry, but if you're going
from Britomart to Vulcan Lane, you might as well walk. Nah, nah, nah. No,
that's the point. It's further to walk from that station.
It's further to walk down from the station. You'd be
better to go up to like the Glass Goose or something. Oh,
we love a Glass Goose. Yeah, something like that. Right
out there's also a couple of English pubs there. Yeah, exactly.

(35:56):
Get a guinea on.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
Then you could maybe go up to Kalanga Hippa Road
and do some karaoke at Eagle Bar.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Excuse me, we forgot Father Ted's. You know, show favourite.
We love a Father's Ted. We love a Father's Ted.
We love that it's dark.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
Or should we glass goose for a class goose and
then totter all over to Father's Ten for a naughty
little guinea back on.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
And then up to K Road.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
For some karaoke, maybe a gay bar. And then you
could carry on to Mount Eden. Then we could go
to the Horse and Trap.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Another guinea. Well, you can get off at Kingsland as well.
The good home's just up the road from there, and
that's got Guinness. I'm not peddling my Guinness agenda here,
but I'm very much peddling my Guinness agenda. I love
that it took one day of this being open for
Kiwis to make it into a booze thing. But you
could do anything. You could map this out.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Like, I've been seeing a lot of people, instead of
pub crawls, doing op shop crawls.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
So getting the girls together and being like, right, bring
a tote and your wallet.

Speaker 7 (36:47):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
And you could get on the train and be like, cool,
we're going to start at the bottom. We'll go to
this Salvation Army, catch the train up to this one,
go to this bloody St.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
John's, this op shop here, and then catch the train back.
People are just so excited. And people even just from
out of town, if you're listening. Look at these people.
Ian and Christine have absolutely booked in. They said, you've
got to show us how this works. Yeah, I know.
I feel like it's just going to be a thing.
People are going to be just riding the stations and
checking them out.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
Look at them all hollering each time the train comes in.
The more beers they have, and they're behind the yellow line.
Especially if you had a couple of brewskis, back you go.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Everyone's filming. It is literally one of the most joyful
things to happen in the country for a long time.
People are so excited. Oh my God, there's an interactive
pub crawl map. Who made it? It's only Wednesday. It
opened on Sunday. It's perfect. Guys!

Speaker 6 (37:35):

Speaker 1 (37:37):
The heavily redacted FVH non-cancellation safe space chat. That's the
full name of our WhatsApp group with the three of us.
It used to disappear after 24 hours. But now it
doesn't need to. It used to disappear. So evidence couldn't
be used against us in a court of law.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
Like literally.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Genuinely. Somebody saw that yesterday and was like, why is
that called that? And I was like, it's a long
story that you have not earned. No, no.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
And actually the information is heavily redacted. It's heavily redacted.
And it's in a safe space.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
So it's non-cancellation. Things are said in there that could
not be said in public. Imagine if all of it.
Went online. I've got a few. This is what everybody
says about their group chats. Totally. The things you say
to your friends. To your friends. It's a safe space.

Speaker 8 (38:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
We know this. I've got that. I've been asked why
are my lads chats called the slippery little Fs. Yeah, right.
It's because it got said once and we all really
liked it. And so that's. That's the group chat name. Yeah.
I've got another one. Diamond dogs redacted. Yeah. Our work
champ is Shannon's Guardians. Shannon's Guardians. We have to look
after her and make sure she's not going to get

(38:45):
scammed because. She's been sent a text about a toll
road she's never been on. I like this one, the
no Hayley Sproul chat. Yeah, that's really good. That's really good. No,
we have a chat when someone's away for work. Oh, yeah,
yours is nine fletch.

Speaker 7 (38:57):
Nine fletch.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
And, like, there was one the other day, no car
one when she was away, just because you don't want
to be away and everyone's punishing you with chat. The
gaggle is G2. 0. Yeah, gaggle 2.0. Because we had to
remove some people. And rather than remove them, we just
made a new group. We just made a new group.
It's called G2. 0 so that you know you're messaging in
the right one. Yes. So we want to know, what's
your group chat called? Yes. And no context. Either way,

(39:21):
I don't want context. Oh, I might if it's interesting.
I mean, you don't have to provide it, but I
would be interested. If you don't want to provide context,
there's absolutely no context required. Okay, so text.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
No context required. Okay, so text in 9696 0800 DARS
at M if you're willing to own up to your
group chat name.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Yeah. We're not here to judge either. Either way, we
just want to know what your group chat is called
this morning.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
People are so creative. What?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
Already getting some? KMF. Esther said KMF. It stands for
kill my frog. No context. Oh, is it from Eat
That Frog? Do you remember that? No, this is Kill
My Frog. What's Eat That Frog? It was a self-help book. Oh.

Speaker 5 (39:58):
That was called Eat That Frog. Why are you saying
it in that voice? Because that was the woman. I
think my mum or dad used to listen to it
on a cassette.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
It was called Eat That Frog. And it was like
doing the hard things. You've got to eat that frog.
But why would you eat a frog? Why would you
eat a frog? I didn't write the book. I wouldn't
have a frog. Frogs are very... What a stupid analogy.
Frogs are very... Eat that frog. They give you a pathogen. Yeah,
they do.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done
in Less Time. It's a book. Okay, we're so inundated
we can definitely start now. Sometimes we won't start in
the first break reading out examples because we're worried it
might be a bit light on the ground.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
But given the technology... Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
And it's just been flooded. The fanny flappers... Boys Plucking Feathers.
It's an all-girls group. The Cease and Desist Chat.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Love.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
The Fart Sniffer Gang. Our group chat is called Successful Degenerates.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Love.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
The Pussy Club. Pussy Club. Can I just say, so far,
all of these chats sound like if they were legged,
they'd be problematic. I don't know if Morgan's just texting
all rage. Empowered Poussoirs. That's us. That's you, yeah. That's
the 6.5 group chat. Pilates Pussy Patrol. They take their cats.
They take their cats to Pilates.

Speaker 9 (41:09):
Cucks are asses.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Cucks are asses is pretty good. Cucks are asses. Push.
Push stands for fall on outstretched hand. Sounds like someone
broke a wrist. Fall on outstretched hand. Oh, my God. Oh,
my God. This is brilliant. The Bumble Bitches. Sniffanies.

Speaker 7 (41:24):
Oh.

Speaker 9 (41:25):
Oh. No.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Not sniffanies.

Speaker 8 (41:27):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
We've known a sniffanies. Is that a gaggle? Is that
a gaggle sub-chat? It could be. It could be. Robin,
what's the group chat called?

Speaker 8 (41:35):
Hi, I just wanted to say something before I said, like,
tell you what my group.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Chat is called. What do you want to say?

Speaker 9 (41:43):
I'm a first-time caller.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Oh, yay!

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I did have my finger on the button there to
cut you off immediately if you were going to say
something inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Political tirade or something. Welcome to the show, Robin. What's
your group chat called? I actually have two group chats
that I texted in. I'm not sure.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
which one I got called up for.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Give us both. Give us both. Come on, we can
handle it.

Speaker 9 (42:09):
So, there's one that, the name has since been changed
now to something.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Well, more appropriate.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (42:16):
But I don't know, it was called the Goofy Gooners.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
The Goofy Gooners. Okay. Goofy Gooners. Gooners. Not Goofy Goobers
as in Spongebob, Goofy Gooners. Gooners, yes. Okay, that is inappropriate, Robin. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (42:32):
I probably can't explain what that means on radio for anyone.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
No, that's all right. They can Google that on their
own time.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
It's one thing to have a group chat, but it's
when it pops up on your phone when it's sitting
on a table.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
That gets you in trouble. We love that. And what's
the other one?

Speaker 9 (42:48):
The other one is Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yeah, go Shrek. Probably one of the most wholesome ones
we've had in Robin, to be honest. Which makes up
for the gooning one. Yeah, that's okay. Robin, thank you.
Let's go to Matt. Matt, what's the group chat called?

Speaker 9 (43:04):
Good morning, guys. The group chat, we've got a couple
with Forest Freaks is the first one.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Okay, do you do things in the forest? You don't
have to tell us. Do you get freaky in the forest?

Speaker 9 (43:13):
I'll leave that up to your imagination.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Okay. Yes. Good boy, good boy. That's a yes.

Speaker 9 (43:18):
Good on you. And the other one is smells like
fruit salad.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Smells like fruit salad. What's the origins of that, Matt? Careful, careful.

Speaker 9 (43:25):
So that one there is our family group chat with
us and our parents as well.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (43:32):
And it all originated from we were sitting in the
lounge and my... Sister-in-law had these little food sticks of
sort of energy boost with different flavors. Everybody had a
different flavor. And when we were in the lounge, my
mother-in-law spoke up and was like, oh, smells like fruit

(43:54):
salad in here. And the name's just stuck. She got
a lot of grief about it. And it was hilarious
at the time. But, yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Stuck around.

Speaker 9 (44:03):
And it's been there for probably a couple.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Of years now. Love it. Love it. Wow. Thank you. Okay, Matt,
thank you.

Speaker 9 (44:10):
Before I go, can I, we've got three young Tamariki
here that listen to you guys all the time.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Oh, hello. Sorry. Sorry if it's inappropriate sometimes.

Speaker 9 (44:20):
It can't be any worse than their mum and myself.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Okay, that's right then. Have a good day. Thank you, guys.
That could have been so much worse. Could have been worse.
Live radio, you just never know, do you? Okay, some messages.
The Octopus Fight Club. These are people's group chat names.
No context required.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
I want context around the Ngarimu Front Bum Horse Riders.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
What? Front bum horse. I reckon they're from Ngarimu. They're female.
Front bums. And they all ride horses.

Speaker 9 (44:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
There might be something more to it. No, that's probably it.
The Ngarimu front bum horse riders. Big booby bitches. The
triple Bs. Our sibling group was called 11 rats and
a Persian cat. Don't know why. The group chat is
Friday realist of realness straight up OG feels for reals.
That's so good. The gang bang. Oh. We've got kids

(45:20):
in the car. The Irish, they don't know what it means.
The Irishman's Dilemma. Mega Puberty Bitches. Meep Speed Round. What
is the group chat name?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Ours is called Gastro Gang.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Oh, Gastro Gang. Was that renamed after a Bali holiday?
Not quite.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
There's like, so we've got four couples.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
We've got 10 kids between us.

Speaker 9 (45:41):
We had a big barbecue and.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Oh, my God. Who was in charge of that? Yeah,
I was going to say, who was in charge of that?
You've got to cook those chicken kebabs. You've got to. Oh,
my God, that's far too many people. Morgan, thank you. Grace,
what's the name of the group chat?

Speaker 8 (46:04):
Mum chat and husband hate.

Speaker 5 (46:07):
Mum chat and husband hate. So you talk about being
mums and you rag on your husbands.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
That's the one. Why not? Wait, are you still with
the husbands?

Speaker 5 (46:16):
Yeah, they've got to pay the bill.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Oh, yeah. You've got to come around for something. Half-presenting relationship.
I love that. Grace, thank you. Some messages. Our group
chat's called Nuns R Us. It used to be Sluts
R Us, but our boyfriends didn't like it, so we
changed it to Nuns. Oh, you changed it back to Sluts. Yeah,
change it back to Sluts immediately. They don't get to
tell you what your group chat's called. Our rugby league
betting syndicate, where we mostly post screenshots of bets, is

(46:38):
called Just The Tip. Love, that's good. The clap trap.
Because we all got the clap from the same girl
within a month. There were seven of us.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Seven?

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Why are seven of you shaking the same girl? Yeah,
come on now. Unless you met, because afterwards she contacts
you all in a group chat. And then makes you admin,
you boot her out. She probably got a rave review
from the first one.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
You know, the first one, when he realised he had chlamydia,
should have rung her and told her that she's got chlamydia.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
And then she would have got rid of the other
six of you. Yeah, but they might not have known.
Until they all knew.

Speaker 8 (47:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
It's like, are you guys stinging? Sting when it wheezes.
Insane Ramblings of the Wreckheads is one of ours. Group
chat name. It's not my fault I have a heavy
flow and a wide set vagina. Oh my God, I
love that. I'd probably eat people if it wasn't illegal.
If it wasn't illegal is one of their group chats. Wow, great.
You've betrayed the dolphins? No idea. No idea. Love it.

(47:32):
Jezebel's on the spectrum. One of our group chat names.
There's a Mums and Bubs.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
None of us have kids, and we go by names
like Daddy and Mummy.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Okay, that sounds like a kink, to be honest. The
Wakanai Nudists group chat. The Mad Catters, because we love cats.
Rich MFers. We're not. We buy joint lotto tickets. We've
never won anything.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Ten all-day fannies for Africa.

Speaker 1 (47:59):

(48:19):
of these. Oh, my God. I'm not even– without a
word of a lie, I wouldn't have been not even
one third of the way through the text machine. I'm

Speaker 1 (48:55):
No, there's that just behind. What if it's got hot shells?

Speaker 2 (48:57):
LAUGHTER The ZM Podcast Network.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
I'm doing a little gift, I've got some gift planning.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
I can't say much. What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (49:08):
I've got a secret gift exchange coming up soon.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Okay, what?

Speaker 5 (49:13):
I'm doing gifts to, I can't say much though.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Okay. It's for the boyfriend, but he can't know that
I'm doing these. things. Right. Do you know what I mean? Right.
I'm talking about it on the radio. Does he listen?
He doesn't listen. He doesn't listen. No. No. Amy doesn't
listen either. Not for him. Your girlfriend doesn't listen.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Really?

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Well, she gets too much of this at home. You
don't stop. Yeah, I feel that as well. Can't get
a break.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
She doesn't need to hear it all morning as well.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Because then Mike will come on tour and see the show.
And I'm like, did you see my social media? No,
he doesn't listen. No, he doesn't listen. So I was like,
we're celebrating something soon. And I've got gifts.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
And yesterday. Plural. Gifts. Yeah, yeah, do it. I'm going
all out.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Wow. And yesterday, I reckon this is my domestic superpower.
You know everyone's got one thing, like, man, I fold it.
You're a dishwasher.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
What's mine? I'm a dishwasher architect. You are, actually. Yours is.
God, it's awkward for me. Left too much of a gap. Yeah,
what is mine? Well, because I've got a robot now.
It can't be the vacuuming. I've got a robot. Not
the vacuuming. It's definitely not cat rearing because he was
a little shit. You've got a real brat on your hands.
Excuse me, he's well trained now. Yeah, because I told

(50:30):
you the pheromone thing. All he needed was pheromones.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
Your domestic super pet, yours is definitely dishwasher and yard.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Thank you. Yours is... Can I just give, while we
try to think of Fletcher's domestic superpower, you know weed eaters? Whippersnippers?
Take the guard off. Take the guard off.

Speaker 7 (50:53):
Thank me later.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
I don't think you should be taking a safety guard off.
Take the safety guard off. Thank me later. Because I
need to whip snip today. Take the guard off. No,
I need the guard off. If I lose a leg. No, no, no.
You're not going to lose a leg. You're not going
to lose a leg. You get a little bit longer
on the whip because it's got one of those things
that stops the whip getting too long and then you
can get it up and do those nice lines that
you see on the internet. Take the guard off. Take
the guard off. Thank me later. Fletch, your domestic superpower is....

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Fresh sheets.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Charcuterie boards. Charcuterie boards. I know a great charcuterie board.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
It's good because it does a little sweet little bit
and there's always like licorice all sorts on it and
then cheeses and then all sorts.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
There's lollies and cheeses in there.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Yeah, and it's like you look at it and you're like, what?
But then you're like, oh my God, I do want
to look at charcuteries.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Exactly. Thank you. Mine's gift wrapping. Is this what you discovered?
This is what I discovered yesterday.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
I didn't have gift wrap and I was like, Not
a problem.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
What are you going to wrap it in?

Speaker 5 (51:43):
So I went through these drawers and I found old
bits of kind of like tissue and bags and things.
I was like, I can make this work. And so
I was sort of putting it together. And then I
was like, right, I've got all the gears. I've got
some nice tissue. You know, you buy a nice gift
or something or you get a package and it's got
a nice thing.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
I keep all that. Of course I don't. Keep all that. Oh,
don't throw that out.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I'll keep that.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Peel the sellotape off. So I've got that. And then
I sit down and here's my domestic downfall. No matter
where I've.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
Put sellotape, there's never sellotape. Every time you've got to
wrap something, there's a new roll of sellotape.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
You need kids because it's always just in their room. Oh, really?
Whenever I'm like, where's the sellotape? I just walk to
August's room and I open the door and I'm like,
there's like three rolls of sellotape. Yeah, no, no. What
is she doing in here?

Speaker 5 (52:24):
The only tape I have is painter's tape, you know,
for like doing trims and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
You can't do presents. Yeah, no, you can't.

Speaker 5 (52:31):
So that's my domestic downfall is putting away sellotape and
finding it. But then the domestic superpower comes back in.
I don't need sellotape.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
I'm Googling the Japanese tuck fold thingy. What? I wrap gifts,
no tape. The Japanese don't use sellotape. No.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
There's ways you can wrap things. Like if there's a box,
you can like fold like this and then like tuck.
And there's like tucking and then just put a ribbon around.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
That wouldn't have worked for me at Christmas because I
always like to peek under the tree. So you would
have just lifted a flap. Yeah. I would have just
got that flap out. Yeah. First and only time. First
and only time this guy's getting his fingers in the face.
What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (53:10):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Put it in there.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
But it's so good. Do you have to put it,
do you wrap it and then put it? flap down
to keep the weight on the... Yeah, it's all tucked,
and then it's sort of all going to the spot.
That's amazing.

Speaker 5 (53:21):
So you do that, and then if you want a
little security, you could put a ribbon around it. I
found some old, like, ribbon and yarn and stuff. Because
I bought that tape gun last Christmas. That was a
game changer.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Oh, that's nice. That's nice. Pull the trigger halfway, and
it starts feeding tape out, and you give it full...
And it cuts the tape. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you can just do it over. You hold it
where you want it, and then you go... And it
puts it on. What are you, working in a warehouse?
Boxing things? It's like a miniature version of those. I mean,
but you've got kids, I guess.

Speaker 5 (53:49):
Christmas gets a bit gifty. Oh, anyway, if you ever
need your gifts done, you come to me. I don't
need wrapping paper.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
I don't need tape. I don't need any of your
traditional things.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
You wouldn't be able to work at one of those
Westfield present wrapping things because you'd take like eight hours
per thing.

Speaker 5 (54:02):
You know, I'd say, I'm doing it the Japanese way.
It'll be worth the wait.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
I'm still trying to really think of something for Fletch
to be like. He's got no. Because the charcuterie board
was weak.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Then that's more kitchen hosting. We didn't do food because yours.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Would be like barbecue. Yeah, I don't know. I don't
need it. I don't need something I'm good at, guys.
Wiping the bench? Yeah, great at wiping a bench, this guy.
Thank you. Great at wiping a bench. No one wipes
a bench like our Fletch. Always hits it with a
spray on wipe.

Speaker 2 (54:27):

Speaker 6 (54:31):

Speaker 1 (54:34):
You know the game Shoot, Shag, Marry? Yep.

Speaker 5 (54:37):
Has another name, but Shoot, Shag, Marry is the one
we can say on radio. You list three people, you've
got to shoot one, shag one.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
And marry one.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Famous for getting celebrities and politicians in trouble forever.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
For a myriad of reasons. Objectification being one of them.

Speaker 5 (54:53):
So here is the new version that's doing the rounds
online that people are absolutely loving.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Two hours per activity. Okay.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
You've got to, it's called Hike Hospital Hot Tub. So
I'll list three people. You're going to go a two-hour
hike with one of them, two hours in a waiting
room hospital with one of them.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Okay. And two hours in a hot tub with one
of them. Okay, so hot tub, probably the more pervy one. Yeah. Okay,
let's go. Bree, Clint, Georgia. No. Hayley, you don't play
this with- You don't play it with people we're probably
going to have to see today. Yeah, you play it
with people you're never going to meet, like celebrities. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hot tub with Georgia. Waiting room with Brie. Hike with Clint. No,

(55:40):
I feel like Clint would be more patient in a
waiting room than Brie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hike with Brie.
And Brie, yeah, Brie would be great for a hike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Fletch, Fawn, Hayley. Okay.
Who would do better in these things? I've gone on
many hikes with Vaughan. I'd hike with Vaughan. I'm not
hiking with you. You're too fast. He's too fast. And
you'll shame me. He's too fast. You're doing a hike

(56:01):
for the communal feeling and he's just gone. But I'm not.
So I'm in a hot tub with you because I'm
not waiting in a hospital. I'm not waiting in a
hospital with Fletch. Yeah. No way. Can you imagine that?

Speaker 7 (56:11):
This.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Hurry up. The last time I was in a hospital
waiting room was like six hours and I was absolutely fine. Yeah,
but that was, you know, like in a South American
country and you had some things to watch. There was
a lot of drama. It was like a TV show.
It was fascinating. I believe you called it Le Pit.
Le Pit. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, so I'm in
a hot tub with you. We've been in a hot
tub together before. We could do two hours. Yep, absolutely.

(56:36):
We've been on a hike together. Remember that time we
went on that hike? Our sad hike. A sad hike.
It was a sad hike.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
We went on a hike.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
It made us better. We got to the end and
there was just this, like, the path had collapsed into
the ocean. I think we actually are good at those roles. Yeah.
Your hot tub, because you're intolerable at the other things...
You're hike. And I'm hospital.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
I did eight hours in a hospital and I was there.
I'm entertaining, but not too much. Your face went, God,
it would be eight hours lying in bed. And you're
the entertainer. Am I in the hospital bedroom? I thought
we were in a waiting room waiting to be seen. Nah,
I'm by your side. It's who you want to be
waiting with you when you're in pain, I reckon. I
did eight hours the other day.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
No, I think it's in a hospital waiting room. So
it's people at their most intolerant.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tolerable. And impatient. And impatient. And in pain. Yeah,
and saying what's wrong with this public health system and
then not wanting to pay any more tax to fix it. Okay,
let's go.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
I'm going to go hottest men in Hollywood just to
play like a fun anonymous.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
We don't know them. Okay. Okay, images. Okay, we'll go
Henry Cavill. Hot tub. Why don't you just come out already?
I get a bit toey. You're the gayest one on
the show, and that's saying something. Only for Henry Cavill.
Henry Cavill. Michael B. Jordan. Michael B. Jordan and Pedro Pascal. Oh,

(57:58):
what a great line-up. Pedro Pascal's waiting room. Because you
know that he is like a caring person. Patient, caring,
and he likes to touch. He'd just be reassuring with
a hand. Michael B. Jordan. Michael B. Jordan because. It'd
be good to get hot. No, no.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
Michael Henry Cavill because he could carry me. He's got
a bit more beef to him.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Yep. Michael B. Jordan hot tub. Hot tub Michael B. Jordan.
The bubbles are going. You know. Where are hands? Getting
a little toey. Where are the hands?

Speaker 9 (58:22):
Where are things?

Speaker 1 (58:23):
What's going on in this hot tub? Do women keep
it balanced? We're going to have to drain the hot tub. Yeah. Oh, please.
Please someone who owns one. You don't promise a draining
willy nilly. Okay, let's do women. Don't. I don't reckon
we need to. Adriana Ahurna. Hot tub. Jason's. I don't

(58:46):
even need to hear the other two. Hot tub. Hot tub. Yeah.
Who's the other one that real hot? We thought it was, yeah.
Hot tub. Hot tub. Vaughan, you can't just have all
three in the hot tub. Seems a waste to go
on a hike or a hostel if there's a hot tub.
Go to your Instagram page and play it. There's always
a four-person hot tub at least. And a Latina Gulf
Betty hot tub. Exactly.

Speaker 6 (59:05):

Speaker 5 (59:08):
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
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-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- it's depth week all this week at um fact
of the day and fact of the day is what
you forgot totally forgot um same here's just i just
it's become a habit now to forget no that when

(59:35):
i start saying fact of the day i think i've
forgotten about the sushi yeah yeah so then i go
back and visit the sushi how much longer have they
got because by to be honest they're probably gonna get
a free week I make good. I make good week.
Because at the end, when they stop sponsoring Fact of
the Day, I'm going to keep saying it. Yeah. And
only by then my brain will have also remembered that,
of course, Wednesday is Tasty Tuna Mayo for $ 8. 40. Eight

(59:58):
pieces for $ 8. 40. Didn't even need to look at the
piece of paper. Yeah. Yes, that's today's fact. Yeah. Yeah,
thanks to St. Pierre's.

Speaker 7 (01:00:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Lovely. That's today's fact of the day. Well, today we're
looking at the deepest lake on Earth. Ooh. Ooh, yuck.
There's bodies in there. Hayley didn't even know about that
deep lake in Takapuna. No. Hayley's like, why is there
a lake? And we're like, what do you mean why
is there a lake? It's literally always been there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
I was Google mapping the Takapuna area, and then I
was like, what's this big body of water that's landlocked?

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Yeah, it's an old volcanic crater. It's one of the craters, eh? Pupuki. Pupuki.
It's real deep. It's real deep. They practice like deep,
not deep sea diving, but they practice like I think
lakes are disgusting. They're disgusting. Topol's deep, isn't it? Topol's deep.
Topol's very deep. What's the one down South Tiano? That's

(01:00:49):
very deep. Yuck. I just think if you're not from
the ocean, what are you doing there? And it's like,
so there's things in there. Well, today we're going to
Siberia to Lake Baikal, which is the deepest lake on earth.
From the surface of the water down to sediment. Sediment.
It's 1,642 metres, so 1.6 kilometres straight down. It is

(01:01:09):
the oldest lake. It's estimated to be 30 million years old. Wow.
And it holds 20% of the unfrozen fresh water on
the planet. Whoa! That's crazy. So you think of every
lake in New Zealand, all of that water's poured into this,
and then it's got more water than the five big
Great Lakes of North America combined. How old do you

(01:01:31):
think Lake Taupo is? Oh, 5,500 years old. Hayley, lock
in an answer. Hayley, what's your guess? 10,000 years old.
Twenty-five and a half to 27,000 years old.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Wow. I thought I was being silly. Yeah, having formed
in the... Dinosaurs. A volcanic eruption. How long ago were
the dinosaurs? Millions. Way, way, way. I was like, hang
on a second. I've said dinosaurs and I don't mean it. Way, way, way, way, way.
So this lake, Lake Bacal, not only is super deep,
because that's where the sediment starts at 1,600 metres, so
1.6 kilometres. But the sediment, if you stood in that,

(01:02:08):
it would be like... So it's pulling apart at the
rate of two centimetres. It sits on a continental rift.
It's pulling apart at two centimetres a year. Getting deeper.
It's getting deeper. And because it's not stopping, that sediment
isn't solid. So they say through that sediment, they do
believe that it's actually, if you go through the sediment,
it's 11 kilometres to the actual bottom. So that's why

(01:02:30):
when you said bodies before, if bodies get to the bottom,
they're gone. Great place to dispose of one if you've
got one. Really good.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
If you're ever in need, getting it, I mean, if
a need to dispose of it, getting it there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Getting it to Siberia. I would take the person I'm
murdering to Siberia in the ruse of running like a
radio competition. Take them on the Trans-Siberian Railway because the
Trans-Siberian Railway goes around the southern shore of this lake.
And then this would be like open the door. Oh,
my God, have you checked out the deepest lake in
the world? There's 200 bridges and 33 tunnels as part

(01:03:05):
of skirting this lake. The Trans-Siberian Railway used to get
to it and then they'd chuck it on a boat
and take the train across. And then you could write
a book, Murder on the Trans-Siberian Express. And they fell
into the deep lake Baikal. And then, yeah. And so
the water also filters itself. It's got this little tiny
endemic crustacean, tiny, tiny, tiny, constantly filters the lake. Oh

(01:03:26):
my God, I want those in my spa pool. When
the heat would kill them. Because when the ice goes,
when it freezes on top, which it did, by the way,
and has killed many people as they try to traverse
it because it is so wide. They're like, it's frozen,
we can get across it, not accounting for how cold
they're going to get. I would never do that. That's
so stupid. The ice goes clear, not white. It doesn't

(01:03:46):
go white ice. It stays perfectly clear because of the
crustaceans constantly filtering it. If you were to give you
an idea of how long this lake is, it's 636
kilometres long. If you started in Auckland, you'd get to
just south of Kaikoura. Whoa. One lake. One continuous body
of water. So it's deep and long. Yeah. I need
to see this thing. What's it called again? Lake Baikal.
You can actually see it. Baikal will note of soda. Yep. B-A-I-K-A-L. Baikal.

(01:04:10):
Found it. And then click on it, right, on Google Maps,
and then start zooming out, and you can literally see. Oh,
it's going to make me feel sick, though, isn't it?
When you can see the entire, like, European, Asian continent,
you can still see the lake. That's how big it is. Oh, yeah,
you can. Wow. And you've never noticed it before. There's Finland.
There's Russia. Just north of Mongolia. Okay. How fascinating. And
I'll tell you what, that is always a question in

(01:04:31):
pub quiz. Pub quizzes, dear listeners. What's the deepest lake
in the world?

Speaker 9 (01:04:35):
Lake Baikal.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Baikal, yeah. Yes. Oh, there's Shaman Rock. Not familiar with
Shaman Rock. Oh, it looks nice. It does look nice.
So today's fact of the day is the deepest lake
on earth is just getting deeper as the world pulls apart. Oh,
sub fact. Scientists believe it's the start of a new ocean,
but none of us will be around to see it.
We're going to break free. Is it going to break free?

(01:04:57):
It's going to break. It's going to pull out and
it's going to become its own ocean. We're breaking free.
It's going to say that we're soaring.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Flying.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
High school musical? Yeah. Weird that I went there. 30
million year old lakes, of course. Very familiar with 2006's
high school musical. So today's fact of the day is
the deepest lake in the world is in Siberia and
it's called Lake Baikal. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
Well, we want to know now, 0800 dial ZM. You
can text her as well, 9696. What did you pretend
to like of your exes? Whether it was a hobby.
Their cooking. Their cooking, their music. Their passion, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are we already getting messages in? I've had three pretty
brutal ones. Did someone text in and say her comedy?

(01:06:00):
Her jokes. Her jokes.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Well, so the reason we ask this is because, obviously,
at the moment, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock are promoting
Practical Magic 2.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Which I saw. And this was great from the interviewer.
What a brilliant setup. The interviewer asked Nicole and Sandra
Bullock to give advice to a listener who wrote in
to this show that they were on, saying that they
couldn't stand listening to her boyfriend's music. Hmm. Like, feels
a little bit set up. It feels a bit of
a set up.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
And a way of asking Nicole Kidman if she actually
liked her ex-husband Keith Urban's music.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
And so Sandra.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Bullock responds first, asking to give advice to this woman
that doesn't like her boyfriend's music. And she said that
the fuel of a relationship can easily burn out when
both parties don't share the same passion. She said if
you don't like the music, it's not going to ignite.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
The fuel in you. So it's a tricky one, Nicole.

Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
Sandra cheekily through to nicole kidman to which she gave
a huge laugh oh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
My god and then she chimed in saying you know
you've got to kind of um find something that you
like about the boyfriend's music you've got to throw them
a bone the way but the way that they did
it was just like yeah okay we always.

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
Do this to each other a fletch and you're like
you little shitbag i love that yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
I mean, it's Keith Urban. I mean, you're either into
that kind of music or you're not, right? She was
with him for a long time. She had to be
into the music. Yeah, totally. Easy to say that. She's
not now.

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
But, I mean, sometimes you're with someone and everything's amazing
but one thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Yeah, and you just pretend you're into it. And you
just have to go along with it because you're just like, well,
I like everything else. Maybe they're like outdoorsy. We've already
had feedback on Instagram. I reckon we'll get this ball rolling.
Roll that ball, baby. I told her she was a
good kisser. She was terrible. She attacked my face like
a wolverine and we clicked teeth on multiple occasions. Oh, no.
He was a young gnat and took me to one

(01:07:50):
of their barbecues while I was at uni. That was
a lot to swallow. I had to pretend to like
the emo music and general vibe back in the mid-2000s.
I absolutely hated it. Excuse me. Dude, that's living. My
ex I had to put up with his singing. I
told him it was good. He was an aspiring opera singer,
but it was so terrible and embarrassing when he did
it in front of people. See, if you're not good

(01:08:11):
at that, it's obvious. If you're not actually good at
opera singing, oh, good Lord. I had to pretend to
like his friends. So glad I don't have to hang
out with any of them anymore. What a punish. I
had to pretend I liked hearing about his mountain biking adventures. Oh,
he was just excited to get home and tell you
he did a jump over a log. He's been on
his bike. And then I rode over a bridge on

(01:08:31):
my bike. I ripped a mean log jumper. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Okay, well, this is what we want to know this morning.
What did you pretend to like about an ex's, whether
it was sport, hobby, music, whatever it was.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Maybe the impersonations. Yeah, 9696, you can text in, 0800,
dials it in. Debbie, Debbie, what was it that you
had to pretend to put up with?

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
Oh, Lord, he was a cyclist, and he used to
shave his legs more than I did. I couldn't turn
around without being in the bath shaving those legs.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
Well, you've got to get the area. Debbie. They wick
in the wind.

Speaker 6 (01:09:02):
Oh, God, no. It's only happened one more time.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
Do you like my legs?

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
I was like, no. Thank God I've got a manly
man now with a bit of hair. Oh, lots of
hair everywhere. Okay, Debbie, thank you. Let's go to Philippa. Philippa,
what did you have to put up with?

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
With an x um my x was everything craft beer
ipa apa double ipa yeah i did at home.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Everything yeah it's never as good when it's made at
home there's so much flavor.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
Yeah and that that would have sounded that i would
have smelt bad too the smell making it and also
the tooty farts the the rich craft beer farts did
he have tooty farts philipa Yeah, he did.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Yeah, definitely. Yes, the craft beer farts. Yuck. Thank God
he's gone. Philippa, thank you. Messages in. So many. Those
are pretty light. We'll go for some of the savage ones.
I had to pretend to like his performance in the bedroom,
which was lacklustre at best. Oh! I had to pretend
to like his family. They were rough as guts and rude.
I had to pretend to like her children, two absolute
little shits. Oh my God, you would too. Sarah, what

(01:10:08):
did you have to pretend to put up with?

Speaker 8 (01:10:11):
Hey, um, movie references that he just kind of kept
going on and on about that I just got to
the point of laughing about so that he would, you know,
think that I.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Got it and stop. What sort of movie references? Pardon?
Which ones?

Speaker 8 (01:10:29):
What, which movie references?

Speaker 9 (01:10:30):
No, like loads.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Loads. Like.

Speaker 8 (01:10:34):
constant, like, sentences from movies and me just going, huh, what?

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
I don't know. Oh, gosh. Yeah. I hate anything that
makes you feel like you don't know enough. You know
what I mean? They're like, oh, you know that scene
in that movie? You're like, I don't know, bro. Zara,
thank you. Some more messages? Guys, so many. What did
you have to pretend to like of your ex? Them.
His penis. His penis, his personality. His personality. I had

(01:10:58):
to pretend to be interested in cryptocurrency and mining Bitcoin. Yeah.
It was just so boring. Yeah. And he thought he
was going to be a billionaire overnight. I had to
pretend to like my ex's family. They described themselves as organic.
They were the most manipulative, unhinged people I've ever met.
We're talking about what you had to pretend to like
of your exes, but now that you're ex, you can
totally admit that you never liked her. Yeah. No, I
was never into that. Danielle's messaged in, World of Warcraft.

(01:11:21):
I don't care about your eight-hour raids and if you
were a healer of the party. To be honest, that
sounds pretty exciting. I want to hear about it. Yeah,
you would. I had to pretend to like his piece
of shitness and skyline and his stupid mullet that looks stupid.
We're really releasing steam today.

Speaker 8 (01:11:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
I love this. It's good. My ex is obsessed with
getting medals for himself, even for ridiculous things like super
short runs. Oh. I had to pretend to be proud
and pretend it was okay to have them hung all
around our lounge. It was very, very cringe. Right. Angel,
what don't you have to pretend to like about your
partner now?

Speaker 9 (01:11:57):
Oh, the fact that he's not a midget.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Oh, dear.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
Wait, so he wasn't, so was he very, very tall
or very, very short? No, my ex was very short
and I could see the balding spot on the top
of his head.

Speaker 9 (01:12:11):
No offense, guys, I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
No, no, guys, we're bald. Angel, you're insulting everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:12:16):
This is the station for bald, I've got a bald
spot on my head.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
It is a good thing being a taller gentleman with the,
because people don't see it. They don't see it. But
we do stan our short king. We love our short king.
How tall are you? How tall was he? He was
162 and I'm 177. So 177 is a little bit
shorter than me. So you're a tall gal and he
was a short boy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Have you

(01:12:41):
found yourself a big boy now?

Speaker 5 (01:12:43):
Kind of.

Speaker 8 (01:12:44):
Not really.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Can you see a spot? How tall is this one?

Speaker 9 (01:12:48):
I have a thing for short men, apparently.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Wow, okay.

Speaker 8 (01:12:50):
We're not talking about it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:52):
We're not talking about it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
Okay, but wait, are you pretending to like this guy's
height or are you happy now?

Speaker 9 (01:12:59):
But he's not balding, so he's attributing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Well, for God's sake, Angel, stop with the ball bashing!
The testosterone imbalance that causes our baldness also makes us
randy animals in the bedroom. Yeah, that's true. We're randy animals.
Thank you, Angel. The message is in. My new boyfriend
only listens to German techno. And I mean only listens

(01:13:23):
to German. I really pretended and tried to like it,
but I just don't. Please send thoughts and prayers. Oh,
I'm so sorry, Han. I couldn't. I had to pretend
that I liked the way he kissed me, although it
didn't ignite anything. Wow. You can teach them. To kiss.

Speaker 8 (01:13:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:13:41):
Like that woman who messaged him before saying a terrible
performance in the bedroom.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
Teach them. You've got to say things that you like
and don't like. When I was younger, I used to
really like this guy and he used to put on
videos of himself skating and surfing. It was so painful
and I pretended to enjoy it. 20 years later, we
just managed to catch up and he played me a
track of him rapping. No. No. What are you doing?
Stop it. We will not be catching up again. I
think the dude's got passions. I'll give him that. We

(01:14:06):
love a man with a hobby.

Speaker 8 (01:14:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
My ex and I were big music lovers across the
board and he decided he wanted to give D &
B production a go. Drum and bass. Drum and bass. Yeah.
Not dick and balls. Not dick and balls. It was
a vomiting mess of arcade noises and microwave beeps. Lay
it over drums. It was like when your kid brings
home a painting from Kindy. They say, hey, look, mum,
it's a puppy, but really it looks like a squiggly penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,

(01:14:30):
I had to pretend to like my ex's haircut that
she said she really liked, but she looked like Frodo Baggins. Oh,
my God. My ex had a cat and a son
that I had to pretend to like. A son. Oh,
my God. Yeah, and the cat used to hiss at me.
It got run over by a bus. Shout out to

(01:14:51):
the Mount Albert 22N. No, don't call out the bus.
Is that the night bus? Yeah, I think that's the
Mount Albert night bus that ran over the cat.

Speaker 8 (01:14:59):
Yeah. Poor driver.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
I know. Did it tag on? The bus. It's not
a free ride. I don't care if you're a cat
or not. I think when you're stuck in the tyre well,
you don't have to tag on. Oh, I bet I'm tagged.
I couldn't tag on. Oh, and Alan Smith. You said it.
Stuck in the tyre well.

Speaker 8 (01:15:15):
Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
My ex cried a lot more than I did. And
it got to the point where I was like, okay,
it's okay you're in touch with your emotions, but for
God's sake, pull your shit together. Right, yeah. Crying over nothing. Yeah.
I had to pretend to like rap music because he
loved freestyling rap everywhere we went. Oh, God, that's the
biggest ick you've ever said. Freestyling.

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
Man, I just saw that guy cross the road. Road,
with his heavy load, heavy load, load.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
Gonna go down the road. Remind me of a toad, toad, toad. Toad. Stop.
Do you know, don't you know, know? That's instant dumping.
Where you're gonna go, ho. That's instant dumping. Yo, man,
I gotta write this shit down. This is fire. His
mother was worse than he was. His mother was a
freestyle rapper as well. God, she needs to meet the
Mount Albert 22N.

Speaker 6 (01:16:03):

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
Gen Z, you're missing the point of a hobby, apparently.
You know everyone's maxing at the moment? You do hair maxing.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Looks maxing. Looks maxing. Relax maxing. You hammer your face
with a hammer. Hammer your face with a hammer. I'm
going to pass on that one. No, you're good. Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
Well, Gen Zs have been hobby maxing, which is getting
a bunch of different hobbies and stacking them on, like going, whoa,
I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this.
And then they're tracking them so hard that they're actually
turning their hobbies into work.

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
They're sucking the fun out of a hobby. The whole
point of a hobby is to– It.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
Costs you heaps of money, never makes you any money,
and sucks up all of your time.

Speaker 5 (01:16:46):
Yeah, but it's supposed to be your break away from like–
Thinking too much or.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
Yeah, the grind. Yeah, yeah, the grind, mental load.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
You've recently been making candles with your girlfriend, the beeswax candles.

Speaker 7 (01:16:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
If you started selling those, that would take the fun
out of it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:01):
Selling them or also just getting too much into it,
like researching the thing too much.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
Yeah, it's like, got a couple of hours, chuck it on,
melt some wax, pull the moulds, leave them overnight, you've
got some lovely beeswax candles. That's a perfect little hobby. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:17:14):
The moment that you're paying your taxes and you've got
a shop and you've got to go to the markets
like our friend in the early mornings to sell and
then they cancel and then you're doing this and you're like, man,
I didn't need a whole Etsy shop.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
This is crazy. Now I've got to shut that down.
I owe money to the IRD.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
This is what Gen Z's doing because they're getting so
into hobbies and they're like, I've got like four hobbies
on the go. I do this, this, this, this, this.
That it's actually sucked all the.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Fun out of it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
But in saying that, though, they're side hustling because they're
trying to make the money.

Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:41):
The job's not paying enough.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
I know. So you can see why. The old saying,
you know, what does it work a job you love
and you'll never work another day in your life? Not true.
You'll just grow to resent it. I love entertaining people.
If you take your hobby and you try to make it,
you know, I love doing this hobby. I'll try to
make it. You're just going to end up hating it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:59):
I definitely like when I went to drama school and
like acting and performance and stuff was definitely a hobby.
And then you're like, yeah, I love it so much.
I want to turn it into my job. I love
entertaining people. Definitely some of the fun gets sucked out
of it. So then you've got to replace it with
another hobby because you've made your passion your job. I
see how you end up hobby stacking. Chasing the dopamine. Yeah,

(01:18:22):
and not everyone needs a bloody Etsy shop.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
Well, the stars of Heated Rivalry are currently filming at
the moment, season two, the much-anticipated season. And they have revealed,
Conestorian Hudson-Williams, they have matching tattoos.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Oh, yeah. Six cells. Cute. I mean, I guess they're
basically in a really sexy show. It's changed their life.
They're hot. It does. It's making everyone money. Yeah, hell yeah.
So they've revealed their matching tattoos. on Instagram. Yeah. And
they look fresh. Like, they don't look fake. Yeah, nice.
That's nice. But yeah, you've got a few matching tattoos.
I've got... Because this is what I want to know.

Speaker 8 (01:19:00):
Four.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):

how bad? Because that's the juicy stuff, right? I've got four.
I've got one with the bestie. No, I've got two.
So I've got five. Two with the bestie. Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
I've got one with my brother, one with my marching
close friends.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Yep. And one with a random guy I hooked up
with last year. Of course. Of course. Are you not
going to cover that up or turn it into something else? No,
because he did in a terrible way.

Speaker 7 (01:19:36):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
No, because the tattoos, like everything's a story to me. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:41):
I think some people feel like they want to change something.
You know, change things and make them right.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
I'd want to cover it up or laser it and
get something else in. I don't mind the tattoo itself. Right.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
And I think it's such a good story. It's a
funny yarn to me.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
You're wild, Hayley Sproul. You're wild. I haven't told this story.
That story's not in my show. It's not on any
of the podcasts. I love it. Okay, well, 0800 DARS

Old friend and so you're not friends anymore no no

cheese like a cartoon cheese with holes in it Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a wedge of Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese, yeah, cute.

Speaker 5 (01:20:40):
Can I ask you, and I'm sure that you're very
much in love with your partner, but what is the
matching one you have with your partner?

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
Well....

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
It's just like the year we got together and then
it's got like, I don't know, it's got a meaning
behind it. Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:20:55):
If the worst happened and you were to split up,
would you get it removed or covered up or would.

Speaker 2 (01:20:59):
You just leave it?

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
No, I love it. It's just part of the story, yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Hannah, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 Darls at M.
Who do you have a matching tattoo with and what's
the story?

Speaker 5 (01:21:11):
If we get enough, if we get 100 messages in,
Fletch will get... Vaughn on a horse as well.

Speaker 8 (01:21:16):
So many.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Let's go to Kayla first. Kayla, who do you have
a matching tattoo with? So I've got three matching tattoos
with some friends. Okay. But my most important matching tattoo
is with my grandmother. Oh, cool. Yeah. So she was
92 years old at the time when she decided she
wanted to get a matching tattoo with me. That's cool. Oh,

(01:21:38):
and had she ever had a tattoo before then? No. No,
she hadn't. Wow. I imagine at 92 you've got to
pull the skin tight. You've really got to pull that thing.

Speaker 9 (01:21:47):
She was super glamorous.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:21:50):
So, yeah, but she's passed.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
Away now, so it's actually really special that that tattoo.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
Is still there. That's nice.

Speaker 5 (01:21:56):
It's actually half there because I didn't know if you
have it on the inside of your index finger.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
It kind of disappears. It comes off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:22:04):
Oh, right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Because the skin's tough. Yeah, so it's just half a star,
but yeah, super special. Oh, I love that. So she
got hers on the same spot? She got it on
the finger?

Speaker 8 (01:22:13):
Yeah, she had it on the same spot.

Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
Hers faded away too, but.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
Yeah. Nah, even if it doesn't look... Perfect. It's like
the memory of getting it with her, which is nice.

Speaker 9 (01:22:23):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
A few people said, why don't you just get it
filled in again? And I said, no. Because it was experience. Yeah,
and it's kind of like almost poetic, too, that it's faded.
Like it's disappearing. But you've still got the half there.
That's deep. Yeah, that's deep. That's deep.

Speaker 6 (01:22:37):
You had the other half, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:38):
Yeah, exactly. Kayla, thank you. Let's go to Hayley. Hayley,
a matching tattoo, who with?

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
I've got a matching tattoo with my mum, my brother
and my sister.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:22:51):
It's my dad's name in his handwriting and his ashes
are in the ink.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
Oh, I've seen people do that. You want to do that? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:23:01):
Yeah, well, I guess so. My brother found a tattoo
artist out sort of west in Auckland. I think it's
called Green Tide. And yeah, they put a little bit,
you have to pay a bit more because I think
just health and safety and stuff like that. But yeah,
we all have that tattoo.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
Oh, my God. Wow. So it's really like a part
of you. That's cool.

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
Yeah, people turn ashes into rings and stuff, but putting
it in the ink.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
I haven't heard it put in the ink. So it's
like always, that's incredible. That's very cool. Yeah, that's cool. Hayley,
thank you for sharing. Some messages. Myself and my cousins,
there's six of us, all got matching E with a
star tattoos when my granny passed away suddenly. Oh. She
raised all of us, so we got her initial E
with a star because her name meant star in Spanish. Right. Starra.

(01:23:48):
I've got a matching tattoo with my now wife's ex-partner. Oh, God. Wait, what?
My now wife's ex-partner. So you ran away with your ex's? No,
your partner. You got a tattoo with your mate. Yep.
And then you end up with his missus. Yes, yes. Okay, great. Oopsie-daisy. Interesting.
I have a little sardine on my ankle matching with

(01:24:09):
a friend who moved to Australia. We don't talk much anymore. Yeah,
you've got a cute sardine. I've got a sardine. That's
a real cute sardine, isn't it? Got a little sardine here. Yeah,
it's upside down. Um, my best friend said, do you
want to get matching tattoos for our 50th? Uh, we've
got a hummingbird fine line on our foot. Same location.
Two of us. That's cute. Cute. It's matching. Uh, I've
been matching one with my best friend from college. We
did them ourselves with a pin and some ink. I've

(01:24:29):
covered it up with a proper tattoo. Also have three
matching tattoos with my husband. My favorite is our wedding tattoo.
He has Chucky, the doll, and I have Tiffany, the
bride of Chucky. Oh, wow. That's good. That's love. That
is beautiful. I knew a girl who had matching worm
tattoos with her bridesmaids. Don't seem to be friends with
any of them anymore, and the marriage didn't last. Like

(01:24:50):
tequila worms or squirms. Or earthworms. Fizzy worms, earthworms. Wormworms.
And they're not friends anymore. Yeah, that'd be cute. Not
like the fizzy lolly because you love those. Yeah, I
love them. I don't know if that would tattoo well.
If that would.

Speaker 5 (01:25:04):
Because you have to get a realism one so that
you could see the little crystals of sugar on it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
Yeah. Yum. I'll get that with you if you get it, Fletch. No.
My bestie and I have matching wine glass tattoos in
our wrists. Oh, nice. They love wines together. Wine. I
love wine. I've got wine too. Not getting our, not
a tattoo, I met a girl in recovery overseas after
getting our boobs done. Oh, so you've got matching boobs. Oh,

(01:25:32):
matching scars. I thought you meant like drug recovery. And
to be honest, you've probably got the matching batch. Of
the implant. Oh, yeah, same sort of expiry. Yeah, same batch.
Same sort of date of expiry. See you in 10 years,
these bad boys. Matching tattoos with my ex. It was
a bong and a lighter done with a cheap gun
that we got at Facebook Marketplace. It's been covered up now.
Like every great story starts, we purchased a gun from

(01:25:53):
Facebook Marketplace. A little more than an idea of a
bong and a lighter. matching palm tree tattoo on my
ankle with a girl I met on holiday in Portugal.
Still Facebook friends, but never talked after that trip. Oh
my God, that's brilliant. Wow. You should just reunite with
her sometime.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
My bestie once called a mimosa a mimusa. We went
straight after that bottomless brunch to get champagne glasses with
moose antlers on our booties. So we've got matching tattoos.
I love that so much. I got a Diet Coke
tattoo after my mum passed. She'd drink eight a day.
Fridge cig. First thing in the morning, last thing at night.
Is that why she died? Mum loved a fridge cig.
I reckon eight a day is too many.

Speaker 5 (01:26:30):
Someone said I have matching tattoos with each of my children.
So they've gone and like just done a little custom one.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
All these people that have matching tattoos with their brothers
and cousins. I don't even know where one of my
cousins lives. Oh, me and my partner and best friend.

Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
Do you know I don't even know one of my
cousin's names? Like I can't even, I think about it sometimes.
I'm like, I know there's a third one.

Speaker 1 (01:26:51):
And yet there's people out there with their cousin's name
on them.

Speaker 8 (01:26:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Or tattoo, matching tattoo. And then there's one other who
I don't even know. Bizarre, isn't it? Someone's got matching tattoo,
dinosaur tattoos with their partner and their best friend. Cute.
Like third wheel situation there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
We started the show, didn't we, with true crime.

Speaker 5 (01:27:11):
If you've been listening since six, thank you very much.
But we started with true crime. And I want to
cross now to our producer girlies, both of whom love
true crime, but probably Shannon more than anyone.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
Book ending the show with true crime. This was a
stylistic choice. Is that your knife? That's my true crime noise.
It's like a squeaky cupboard or something. Yeah, I'll get
some CRC on that. Oh, that's probably better, yeah. That
was better. Blood down the drain. Hitchcock, psycho. Anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:27:41):
So there is an opportunity for true crime lovers, perhaps,
to go and stay somewhere terrifying.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Yeah, you know how when.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Allegedly. Oh, sorry, legally. How old's this case?

Speaker 9 (01:27:54):
150 years?

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
Yeah, 1800s.

Speaker 7 (01:27:56):
You know how when Heated Rivalry came out, the cottage
went on Airbnb and everyone booked it out and it's
like the new hot place to stay? Well, there's a
new Airbnb to go stay at. It's the Lizzie Borden,
The Murder's House.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
Now, tell us about Lizzie Borden. This was 1800s, axe murderer. Yes, yes. Allegedly.

Speaker 7 (01:28:14):
There's that famous nursery rhyme, you know, gave her dad
40 whacks, gave her mum 41.

Speaker 1 (01:28:19):
No, that's Karen, she said. LAUGHTER Yeah, close enough.

Speaker 7 (01:28:26):
Yeah, close enough. But no, so the question is whether
Lizzie Borden was the one to do the axe murders
or not. The murders definitely happened in this house. It's
if she did it or not.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
Right, right, right.

Speaker 7 (01:28:37):
There's a new Netflix drama series. coming out. The Monster
series comes out tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
Oh, I love Monster series. They're good, good, good. Yeah,
they are. Yeah, really good. But yeah, now the house
is on Airbnb. So you can go and stay. It's
a weird thing as humans, eh?

Speaker 5 (01:28:51):
Like that we want to stay in a place where
people will be murdered.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
I don't want to. I don't even want to go there.

Speaker 7 (01:28:56):
You can pick which murdy you stay in, like which room.
You'll be like, oh, the dad's in that one.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Have they named it? Because, you know, sometimes you go
to an Airbnb and it's like, here's the seashore room
or something and there's seashells in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here's the forest room and it's got green colours.

Speaker 7 (01:29:14):
Yeah, this is Abby Borden's room where her body was
found on the couch.

Speaker 1 (01:29:17):
Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother 40 whacks. Yes.
When she saw what she had done, she gave her
father 41. That's right. Andrew Borden is now dead. Lizzie
hit him on the head. Up in heaven he will sing.
On the gallows she will swing. It's still a no
from me. Yeah, I'm not interested in that. I don't
want to.

Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
Apparently someone was killed in my house, but I think
that was a rumour.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
You've never told us that. What?

Speaker 5 (01:29:39):
When I bought it. The owner before the owner, I
knew them. And she was like, there's a ghost in there.
Have you met the ghost? And I said, no, I
haven't met the ghost. And then I was like, why
is there a ghost?

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
And it was like a person had been killed or something. Well,
the good news is that ghosts are naturally attached to asbestos.
So when you put that all in the bottom of
that skip and then put all the other building materials
on top to hide it, the ghost is also gone.
Great news. Ooh. I just heard your tummy hurt. Yeah,
that was my tum-tums. That was my tum-tum-tums. Hey guys,

(01:30:14):
I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had
on a show. Not for me, Vaughan. Nowhere even close.
Nowhere even close. Nowhere even close. You haven't been here long,
have you? No, I haven't. No. Well, if you were
listening and you had fun, why don't you give us
a little review and a rating?
