The ZM Podcast Network For everybody who was going crazy trying to figure out what the video that Ellie and Brie filmed in the hotel room when we were in Los Angeles in 2019 It wasn't any Katy Perry song, it was a scene from Grease No, there was the Katy Perry one. Remember, we found that too. No, it was just you rolling over. No, so Ellie was sleeping in her bed and I was sleeping next to her in my bed and I said, hey Ellie.

And then she goes, I'm wide awake. Yeah. So there was a Katy Perry-esque video in there. I know you guys have all been thinking about it. I'm wide awake. But we got to the bottom of it. We also found all the vaping content. Jeez, there was so much more.

There was a lot, man. There was so much more than I remembered. Yikes. Not from me, though. It was mainly you. Not from me. Remember when you had six vapes and you were going... All the way.

Don't do that, by the way. I had an ad on the radio today, and it was like, mango flavor, delicious. Cool, cherry berry, yum, delicious. And then it goes, it cuts to beep, beep, beep, beep, smoke alarm, the sound of like fires, windows smashing. And then it goes, do not charge your vape on the bed or under a pile of clothes because it can cause a house fire in seconds.

I was like, whoa, this is confronting. But also the front part kind of made me want to get a vape when they were like, because it was an ad from the fire service, but the front was like, mango, ice. Yeah, why are you doing that, fire service? So weird. But that's how they get you, eh? That's how they get you. Maybe they're working for Big Vape.

Maybe. Maybe we're all working for Big Vape. Maybe this podcast is just under the guise of getting you to vape as well. That's why we keep mentioning it. This is the second vaping podcast. That's what I mean. Nah, gee. That's what I mean.

Who would know? No, we're not talking about smoking or vaping again. Not again. No. We're vaping again. Not again. Not good for you. Or tea. We're not getting on the tea again either. The tea. I like tea. Yeah, we were talking about tea yesterday. Oh yeah, we were too. No, Dilma all the way.

In New Zealand, by the way, there's an election coming up. It's next weekend. Is the Australian election on at the moment too? No. Just the referendum. They are. There's a massive conversation though happening in Australia. It's called The Voice. Yeah, it's about Indigenous rights. And it has a lot to do with, yeah, pretty much like,

but that's quite interesting because you can see a lot of famous Australians, the ones that are coming out for it and then the ones that aren't saying anything. Yeah, interesting. So it's not an election, though? It's just a referendum? It's not even a referendum. I'm pretty sure because a referendum is a vote

where they have to do whatever the vote produces, whereas this... Is this just an opinion poll? Essentially, I think it could be... Oh, yeah, there's a word for it, eh? It's a plebiscite, I'm pretty sure. Plebiscite, that's right. A plebiscite where everyone votes and you don't have to vote,

but you can vote and then it doesn't matter what the results are. They can just decide what they want to do anyway. Stink. How do you make it a referendum? That's what they did for marriage equality back in 2017. Yeah. They had an entire country plebiscite. Yeah.

And they're like, just trying to get the vibe from the people. Yeah. What are you guys into? Do you think it's cool if everybody has the same rights or no? Just asking. Yeah. Do you guys think, you know, everyone should just be able to, you know, marry whoever they want or?

No. So just equality, lol. What's able to, you know, marry whoever they want or... No. So just equality, lol. What's the vibe? Yeah, we just want to let everyone have a voice because we think it's important to every single person in the country to have a say on other people's rights. Right. Yeah. Anyway, that plebiscite came back for, I think it was maybe 67% for gay marriage.

And there would have been a fucking uproar. You know how much that costs, that plebiscite? How much? That costs the country that non-bloody legally binding vote costs Australia, I'm pretty sure it was around $22 million. Oh, that's cheap. John Key spent $27 million to not change the New Zealand flag. Do you guys remember the flag referendum?

It looked like a tea towel. They went through all these options and they had... Yeah, I've seen them. The whole country had to vote on finalists. Laser Kiwi was up there. No one had any good ideas. No, they were all garbage. Oh, I quite like Red Peak.

What was Red Peak? Yeah, that was nice. Red Peak was like, it was kind of like a, it was a triangle. So if you think of the rectangle, it was a red triangle with white borders around it and then blue in one corner and black in one corner and the red was to represent... Sounds pretty boring. No, it was quite nice it was show me it's not as beautiful as a normal flag but well why would you want it then this is what i'm saying was it a good idea well the argument was

that our current flag doesn't represent us yeah which like i'm not arguing against that but it's kind of like you know don't change it just to change it. See, that's boring. Well, none of them went through. That's so boring. The other ones with the silver fern going through the middle. I liked them. And there was two versions of the same design.

They look cheesy. They look like tea towels. $27 million to keep our flag. That's ridiculous. How embarrassing. They should have changed the anthem. Yeah. Anthem's a good one to change.

Yep. The problem is everyone in the country, it's taken 15 years to get everybody to learn the Maori version of this one. Can we not change it because I just learned it. Yeah, yeah. So I appreciate it if we could just keep it for a few more years. What if we just change it to... Can you imagine that in a sports game and the stadium just starts?

Do you know after we did that honorary Kiwi and I learnt the Kiwi anthem off by heart, the Toro and English versions, and for the first time, I think it was maybe like a couple of weeks later, I went to the soccer game, the Women's World Cup, and it was the first time where I was like, I can sing this whole thing and I was real proud of myself. It's neat, eh? Yeah. And then

Megan Sager made fun of me because she was sitting behind me. Of course she did. She goes, oh, who knows all the words now? Yeah. Oh, what a tryhard. I was like, good on you for making fun of me for being patriotic! Keeps you humble. Mate, if you want to have

a friend that keeps you humble, be friends with Megan Sager because she will rip you to shreds. That's true. The amount of times that she just strips off me, like just like in a joking way, but like she just tears your confidence. I love it. Friends, eh? Friends are friends forever. All right right let's go let's go

i want it to be silent because then ella gets real weird about it fill the gap ella um that song was off a song that my church choir sang. Can we hear a bit? Yeah, okay. Friends are friends forever. Lord is them. A friend will not say never. Something will not end.
