We are absolutely spiraling after this weekend! Yaz tried to convince us that her highly regimented 25th birthday poker party was a good time, but when you hear where her poker chips actually ended up, you’ll be completely irked. Plus, we dive deep into the mysterious world of the "redhead wave"—is it a real secret society thing, or is Harrison just completely pulling our legs?
The week is kicking off with some major group chat energy on The Ash London Show, and to be honest, we’re all feeling a little bit vulnerable. Yaz showed up to the studio looking total corporate chic on Monday, but it didn't take long for her to confess the real reason behind her extra-nice mood—she was nursing a massive hangover from a weekend poker party. After sending a sad video of an empty setup to the team chat, Yaz tried to defend the night, but Harrison and Ash were not having it. Between answering trivia questions about the birthday girl and doing forced group challenges, the whole vibe sounded like an absolute nightmare. It gets worse: Yaz admitted she had a few too many, ended up slurring in front of everyone, and literally vomited straight into her cup of poker chips. Talk about a total cringe moment.
Switching gears to a much sweeter kind of weekend chaos, the team celebrated the absolute joy of a woman discovering the dance floor for the first time. Ash shared a heartwarming story about her 13-year-old niece joining the whanau for dinner at the Viaduct in Auckland. After a couple of drinks, the aunties hit the floor, and the niece spent the whole night jumping and dancing, later describing it as a total dream. Ash and Yaz agreed that there is genuinely nothing better on the planet than being in a club with the girls, sparking fond memories of massive, dancey 21st birthdays and epic wedding receptions.
Things took a more serious turn as the crew discussed the dark side of casinos and nightlife. Ash opened up about a terrifying experience she had at a casino bar in Australia after stepping off a long flight. After taking just half a sip of a gin and tonic, she suffered an incredibly scary drink-spiking incident. Luckily, she was dancing with a trusted friend who safely bundled her into an Uber. Ash described the awful "scratching on the inside" feeling the next day, a common and disgusting comedown symptom that security guards later confirmed is a massive issue at that specific venue.
To wrap up the chaos, Harrison got put on the spot about an online video discussing the legendary "redhead wave." While Harrison tried to fake the girls out with a ridiculous hand gesture, he admitted that while there’s a silent acknowledgment when you pass another attractive ginger, there's definitely no secret handshake. In a hilarious moment of emotional honesty, Harrison confessed that he occasionally looks in the mirror and genuinely forgets he has orange hair, triggering a classic debate about why redheads are either a total 10 or a three with absolutely no in-between.
