Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. You can download the Maccas app to get McCafe rewards today. In news that Apple have just in time for Christmas, the AirPods Max. So they've got their own headphones now. And in New Zealand, these are going to be $999. $999. Isn't that nuts? Good God. Good God. I mean, I imagine they'll be good because they own Beats, right? So they'll have all of their technology. Yeah, but Beats, didn't they do a breakdown of how much it costs to make Beats headphones? And they were like $14 worth of electrical parts.

They're not that great. I've listened to someone's Beats. They're not that great. Weird though. The price is weird because you can get like Bose and those Sony noise cancelling. Yeah, the two of them. And those are amazing headphones. Those are always like the two that are kind of head of the field.

How much do they go for? They're like six or seven A. I think. Six, seven, eight hundred dollars max. People are definitely just paying for the aesthetic of them and to say you've got Apple ones. But they don't look, I don't think they look sexy. I think they look weird. They look like my dad's old headphones from the 70s.

Yeah, they've got a kind of a vintage look, don't they? Do you remember when you were a kid, did you have any over the head headphones to go with your Walkman? And they had like the little fluffy things on the end? Oh yeah, the little foam bits. And you were just stoked to have those. Imagine giving those to a kid these days.

They'd be like, this audio quality isn't good You should try listening through those headphones on a tape That you've listened to a hundred times Alright bloody grandad Hey look, I just want everyone to know how good they've got it With their audio quality I just had to walk really carefully with my discman So that it didn't skip

Holding the discman and just being like, this is great. This is the best technology there is. Are you one of those people that wears big over-ear headphones to the gym? I never was, but I am now. Are you? Because I don't know how people do it because you sweat in the pads and they get all. I have trouble with in-ear ones.

They just never want to stay in. It was just like. Because you've got, maybe your ear canals are a bit skinny. Oh my god, thank you. Skinny. Skinny ear canals. Even if it's just the holes into your ears. You take it.

Thanks Ash. Welcome to the show, Fleets for the Megan. I've just received an email subject secret about the female libido. Okay. From sidehusney4567. Okay. Is it a Gmail or?

iCloud. Oh, I can see it's legit. But yeah, and there's nothing in the email apart from a hyperlink with yesterday's date on it. Well, you should probably click it. I should probably click it. It's simply masked. It's a secret. Well, it's a secret.

You want to know the secret to the libido. To the female libido. Yeah. I know the secrets to the male libido. It's just... It's humming. It's humming all the time. It's humming.

Yeah, there's no secret. It's a 24-7 factory. There's no off switch. It's not shift work. No off switch. It's Harman. Yeah, there's no secret. That's it, really. The 24-7 factory. There's no off switch. It's not shift work. No off switch. It's a perpetual motion engine. What did it say? I'm not clicking it.

I've got a feeling it's spam. It's not your email. Click it. It just works like that. No. Yeah, but it's my personal. It came to my personal email. Oh, yeah.

Don't click that. No, don't click that. Because that's how they... You know a lot of them, like, they'll have an unsubscribe button? That's how they know that your email's active. And then they'll spam you even more. Are you kidding me? Oh, that's evil. No, that's, I read that somewhere.

It's like, yeah, don't click on, like, what are you doing? Well, just ignore it. But I can't think of coming. Or add it to your junk inbox. So it goes to the junk. Just make a rule, yeah. I've got 43 in the junk. Because I never even thought about that until I read someone say that.

It's like if you show that that email account is active and you're using it. They'll just keep spamming it. They'll just keep spamming it even more. Have I told you about the bills I'm getting for Vaughan Smith in England? No. I've been getting all these invo getting for Vaughan Smith in England? No. I've been getting all these invoices for Vaughan Smith in England, and one of them, finally the other day, included his address, like his physical address.

Oh, okay. It's in Devon. It's in South England. I looked it up on Google Street View. Has he got a nice house? I believe it's an investment property. Oh, okay. Yeah, because they're talking about getting it done before the next tenants and stuff.

Oh, okay. But his email address must be similar to mine. Yeah. But I'm thinking about reaching out. I don't think you should. How much are his invoices? I don't know his email address. Oh, right.

Well, he had the whole thing reglazed. So he had all new windows put in. Reglazed? Yeah, and they're like, oh, please pay this bill within three days. I'm like, I reply to them saying, sorry, you've got the wrong email address. Yeah. But I've had a plumbing one,

a glazing one, and someone who was going to come around and give it a, like an assessment for price. Are you going to like die? Or did I get drunk and buy an investment property in Devon? Also a possibility.

And someone's doing it up. Look, drug porn might be taking care of the renovations. He just takes over when I think I'm asleep. It's a fight club situation. It's not fight club. It's renovation club. All right. The top six is coming up.

Yeah, we are getting a Christmas tropical cyclone. Maybe. Maybe. Which wouldn't be great, but, you know, worse things have happened. For example, this entire year.

2020. Yeah, what an end to the year. Fitting end. Yeah, but I've got the top six names for a Christmas tropical cyclone because, you know, they all have names.

Yeah. Well, it'll need a Christmas theme. All right, it's coming up next on the show, though. A study's been done looking back at 2020 and it's found something we already knew. Next, ZM.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A global study's been done. Thousands of people from 50 countries, researchers have talked to, and it has found, and this is probably not going to be a surprise for anybody, that the pandemic and resulting lockdowns have led to big changes in health behaviours, prompting people to cut back on physical activity

and eat more junk food. And we've got higher anxiety levels and stress levels. Right. That's why we need the junk food. Is it because of the lack of exercise and the increase in junk food that our anxiety's gone up? Well, yes, and I guess just because of the pandemic. Yeah, yeah.

But they've found that it doesn't matter about geography. Everybody in the survey ate more junk food. Because they were just like, stuff it. Yeah, you were like, well, if we're going to die, I might as well go out with this bag of burger rings. I think maybe you're more aware of how much junk food you've been eating this year because everybody's been talking about it. No, but you're locked inside, so you're definitely eating more.

Okay, so you sit down and eat a bag of chips, but you also couldn't, for a part of this year anyway, as freely just rock into a fast food restaurant on the way home from work and get something, which you're more likely to forget about because you'll hide your secret shame under something in the bin outside so you don't get in trouble. But it just feels like we've been more conscious

of our junk food eating this year. Maybe the second lockdown, I feel like a lot of people were. Yeah. Because you heard stories. I was just like, well, you're not going to socialise anytime soon, so you don't need to look banging.

Yeah. I'm just like, let it go. Yeah. Everyone's staying at home. I think everybody had their coping mechanisms, right? I think I've definitely drank more this year than I've... I did everything more in the first lockdown. I drank more, I ate more, I exercised more.

You're just like, what else are you doing? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. More time equals more things. Bad and good. Wow. Well, thanks for that study for something we already knew. Yeah, it feels like we don't need those studies. No. It's like holding up. No one needs to look in a mirror. This year

needs to take a look at itself. Can we just delete it? We were there. Can next year be 2020? Just like pretend this one didn't happen. Well, that'd be a good story. Like 100 years time. Everyone hated the year so much

that we just deleted it. Deleted it. It happened, but it wasn't acknowledged with a digit. You click on Wikipedia for 2020 and it's just blank.

Yeah. It's like how some hotels don't have a level 13. Yeah, because it's unlucky. Because of the unlucky aspect of it. So it goes straight from 12 to 14. So it goes 2019, 2021. I like that idea.

Yeah. Unless next year is going to be even worse. Well, we'll delete that too. I'm not afraid. I'm not scared. I'm not scared to delete more years. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. Whangarei Police have released a Facebook statement that reads as following. Whangarei police are appealing for info about a go-kart that has been reported on numerous occasions driving recklessly along Western Hills Drive and Otake Road in the Whangarei area. The go-kart has been reported by multiple members of the public

in relation to dangerous driving, speed, and lack of safety gear used by the driver. The driver is a small Italian man in dungarees with a comically large red hat with an M on it.

We believe his name is Mario because he said, Yes, I'm Mario. That's my favourite part about this news story is a herald have used a stock image of Mario. Mario Kart.

What's that Mario Kart 8 too? It's the big dog on the Wii that they're using there. So... Someone's hurting around the streets in a go-kart. The go-kart had previously failed to stop for police and the general driver manner is putting the driver and members of the public at risk. Now, that's no good. I don't want to see anybody hurt. How did the police not catch a go-kart had previously failed to stop for police and the general driving manner is putting the driver and members of the public at risk. Now, that's no good.

I don't want to see anybody hurt. How did the police not catch a go-kart? Because a go-kart can go places that a police car can't. Oh, like on the footpath. Yeah. Down lanes. Down lanes. They're small and very...

Right. Is this a kid? Are these kids? I don't know. There's no description of the driver. No description of the person. Because when they said lack of safety, you're right to imagine they weren't wearing a helmet.

So someone must have seen their face. Right. Is this the biggest crime happening in Whangarei at the moment? Yeah. Two things. Yep. If I was super rich, I'd still stand by my claim that I would buy an old car parking building

and turn it into like a go-kart track. Oh, that would be cool. Yeah. And you get that. You could drift into the corners and get up the ramp. Although trouble isn't a go-kart, you'd drift around the corner and slide under the concrete barrier and fall off the building.

You'd have to put some sides on. I'd put some more sides on. And I think there is definitely something in a reality TV show where you think you can outrun the police. I would love that. Yeah. I don't want to break the law to the point where I'm being chased by the police and I don't want to face the repercussions of outrunning the police. Right.

And I know the dangers, this would obviously be filmed in a completely controlled environment because it's very dangerous and it's caused many injuries and deaths. People trying to run away from the police. But it would be interesting to see if you could. Now, I know there was that show in Britain

where people had like 10 hours start just to disappear. And they could evade them for like two weeks or something, wasn't it? Yeah. They won a prize. Who were they being chased by? Like, a spy or by the police? Wasn't it just, like, a unit?

Yeah, because they had access to all sorts of things. They got access to their, like, social media and stuff to see where they'd logged on and they had all sorts of things. But I'm just talking about it. Or you just run into the bush and hide. For two weeks. Yeah, okay. But then you come out after like 12 hours you're like

I'm hungry. But then like they'd look at your bank details and found that you went to a supermarket and bought lots of snacks and they'll be like let's just go to the bush near the supermarket. They'd find you. That's what they do. She said she'd go into a bush. That would be a great show.

That's like all I did on Grand Theft Auto was like do something bad and then boo, and you're like, okay, dude, run. One star. You're like, okay, this has got to cool down. You're like, two stars. I did nothing. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Yep, a study's come out in favour of first born children being smarter

and oft more successful than their siblings. That's the baby in the middle child going. Yeah. I mean, obviously. It's our parents' fault though. Is it? That's a great thing about being the middle child. It's always somebody else's fault.

When you've got your shortcomings. It's because parents with the firstborn are more likely to spend special attention developing their thinking skills. Or, you know, like cognitive function at an early age that would lead to their ability to have better thinking skills. And by the time you two came along, they were like, we're busy. Yeah. You find spot. He's somewhere in the spot. Yeah.

Clue, he's behind the flap in every page. And yeah, apparently it's fully to do with the parents just being like, when the first one comes out, I'm just going to run this race. Yeah. I'm going to be a little genius. Yeah, you're going to give them all the advantage.

Fuss over them. Yeah. And then the second one. Oh, you'll be right, mate. Yeah, they'll be like, going to run the race yeah little genius yeah going to give them all the advantage fuss over them yeah and then the second one oh you'll be right mate yeah they'll be like you get your order

no but that makes us fighters you know anyone other than the first born the first born just gets like mollycoddled oh yeah yeah

the first borns are the ones that have to fight for the right to go out and party and stay out late and then you come along can you do this for me and you the right to go out and party and stay out late. And then you come along and you're allowed to go out whenever you want. No, that wasn't the case in our house.

Well, that's because your brother wasn't cool enough to go out. No, he didn't want to go out. He didn't really want to go out so much. So you had to do that fight? Yeah. Yeah, right. Also, my brother, he's not, he doesn't fit this mould. He's the firstborn.

He's not smarter and what's the other thing? Smarter than me or... Performs better in school, higher income, higher IQs. Nah, nah, none of that. None of that. That's not my brother. The older one had developed thinking skills. No.

He's still working on that. Later born had received less encouragement. But you're right, that made us crafty. We had to work out how to make it happen. Like good, what do they say, book skills and street skills. Gives you good street skills.

Street smarts. It makes you scrappy. Yeah, you gotta fight. As you said, you gotta fight for it. Are those street smarts? It. Yeah, as you said, you've got to fight for it. Are those street smarts? And it's also because the oldest one, you chewed on the blocks. And the blocks are for letters on them. Right, and ate the Lego.

What is the first letter of Apple? I can't see because someone chewed on this block. So I'm chewing. You've dribbled on everything. You've ruined everything. Mum's not buying more blocks. No. And instead of getting told off, you're dribbled on everything, you've ruined everything. Mum's not buying more blocks. No. And instead of getting told off, you're like, it's okay.

It's the half-liftoff. He's doing experiments with his mouth. He's learning with all of his senses. He's chewing on the blocks. That's me as an unborn. Do you guys remember hand-me-downs? Because I don't. No, well, I tell you what, jokes were on my parents because I got fatter than my brother.

I can't say it's close. So you got new ones. Because I ate too much. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The Forbes magazine has released the most powerful women in the world. And Jacinda Ardern is on the list. She is ranked at number 32. And she beats the Queen.

But then the Queen doesn't do... I don't want to... Doesn't do like... You gave me a hot there. Because I mean, watching The Crown, like she doesn't get involved in political... No, they don't.

They always stay out of line. I wouldn't say that she's particularly powerful. Like she couldn't launch a missile strike against the country. Let's put it that way. No.

So Queen Elizabeth II is 46th on the list. Okay. 46th most powerful woman. So topping the list, Angela Merkel, she is the German Chancellor.

Yes. She is number one. She's very, well, she could launch a missile strike against many people. She's a big dog in Europe. Do the Germans have,

do the Germans have missiles? Well, of course they do. Hmm. Should they? Are they allowed to have those? Yeah, no,

yeah. They're like a naughty kid. Well, they're allowed missiles again. They're behaving at the moment, but, you know, they had a rough patch. Sure. She's been number one for the last 10 years. Yeah. What is the criteria of, do they release what criteria they mark these formales against?

I guess it'd be influence, right? Political sway. Political sway. Political sway. Control of, you know, a bit of cash, a bit of economy. Yeah, a lot of them are political figures. Okay. But then randomly you get like a Reese Witherspoon who's in at 92. Rihanna's number 69.

Oprah's in there at 20. Well, she's very influential. So above Jacinda and the Queen. Super rich. But yeah, so Angela Merkel, 10 years in a row, she's number one So above Jacinda and the Queen Super rich But yeah so Angela Merkel 10 years in a row She's number one Who's number two? Christine Lagarde

Who was the first woman To head the European Central Bank Oh okay Deep pockets there And then number three Coming in this year Kamala Harris Oh okay yeah cool

Vice President Elect Yeah She's a heart attack away From being the President here. Kamala Harris. Oh, okay. Yeah, cool. Vice President-elect. She's a heart attack away from being the President. She's a slip on the stairs. We laugh, but we've all thought it. Yeah, we laugh, but the other week he did fracture his ankle playing with his dog. So he's the oldest President in

US history. Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, is number seven. But yeah. Is Kim Kardashian on the list? Because someone like her could easily influence people around the world.

She just needs to post something on Instagram. And she's been doing the prison reform. Yeah. She's had some people pardoned. Not on the top 100, I don't believe. But she's like huge influence. Yeah. I would put her above like Rihanna.

But you can't see her on the list at all. No. Weird. That's a real snub, isn't it? Well, Forbes are having beef with the Kardashians, aren't they? That's right, because they fudged it to make the billionaire thing. They fudged it to make Kylie a billionaire and Forbes are like, um, we'll tell you who's rich.

Thank you. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. From the yummy ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there, welcome to the top six. A predicted tropical cyclone will be arriving in New Zealand around about Christmas time. Oh, there's a floating hair in the air. Look. Did I get it?

So easily. No. No, you didn't. So easily distracted. You've got it. No, I didn't. It slipped. What is this from?

Oh, my. It's just a floating bit of dust. It's from a Santa hat, probably. I don't know where it's gone. So it's going to arrive, if it stays on its predicted path, it will be touching down New Zealand around Christmas. Great news.

The week, the few days before Christmas. So the 20th, it's in the middle of the Pacific, and then it's going to either go, carry on into Australia, which would be great, or hook around and slam into New Zealand. Oh, I hope it hooks into Australia. Yeah, that'd be way better. But if we're going to get it, we've got a silver line in this thing,

because it's not yet formed to the point of a tropical cyclone. It'll need a name. The top six names for a Christmas tropical cyclone. Number six, Carol. Oh, yeah. For two reasons. Christmas Carol, and also Carol is like Karen. It's one of those names.

And Carol Baskin had a big use this year, didn't it? Yeah, true. Carol with an E. Some Carol Baskin. Number four on the list of the top six names for the Christmas-timed tropical cyclone. Noel or Noel. Noel. Tropical cyclone Noel.

I like that. Yeah. Do we know if it's supposed to be a female or a male? I don't know. And also I don't know what letter they're up to because you know how they always go. Alphabetically, they might be up to J. And at number four on the top six names for a Christmas tropical cyclone, Joy. Tropical cyclone Joy.

Joy to the world. Yeah, but that doesn't feel good for a cyclone, does it? It doesn't. But you can't give it a really bad name because people already don't like it. Yeah. So Joy. Number three on the list

of the top six names for the Christmas tropical cyclone, Frank, short for frankincense. But we'll just call it Frank for short. Yeah. Because it's a cool frank. It's not frankincense when it's with its friends, us. Number two on the list of the top six names for a Christmas tropical cyclone,

Summer. Just as a neat reminder. Of what it's taken away from you. Yeah, that this is in the midst of summer. And number one on the list of the top six names for a Christmas tropical cyclone, Jesus. Tropical cyclone Jesus. It's the season. Tropical cyclone Jesus.

Jesus is coming. Batten down the hatches. Jesus is coming. Well, let's hope Jesus doesn't arrive in time for Christmas. No. And it may not happen. Yeah, it's all projected and predicted and stuff. And they can't be 100% sure they'll be able to be more specific as we get closer.

That is today's top six. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Ho, ho, ho. The 12 Days of Fletchmas. Well, prizes to give away leading up to Christmas, the 12 Days of Fletchmas.

You've just got to register either on the naughty or the nice list and tell us why you've either been naughty or nice, and we could call you back. Today's present is like, it looks like a scorched almond box. But listen, doesn't rattle like scorched almonds. So I don't know what today's prize is. That's not the shape of a scorched almonds box. A scorched almonds box.

It's a little bit thinner and longer. Longer and yeah, not as bright. A bit roughly the same. That's a roses. It's more of a roses than a roses. No, it's not. It's more of a scorched almonds than a roses. Agree to disagree.

No, you're wrong. Scorched almonds box and a roses box. You're wrong. And see whose dimensions are closer. No, definitely not a roses. A roses box is more square. Yeah. So a roses box would have that much off the end.

And thicker. And taller. Yeah, taller. This one absolutely not reaming. No, but a scorched almond would be like that. And go to there. No. Give me an area.

Area-wise. Square cinema-wise. We're literally going to measure this after the show, aren't we? I've got nothing else to do. Who's on the nice list? Louise, good morning. Good morning. Now, why are you on the nice list in 2020?

Because I lent my older sister Moana my favourite dresses. And let's just say her chest size is a lot larger than mine. Oh, is it? She stretched it out in the... Yeah, it looks like I've had a couple of balloons in there. Oh, no. It's all right. She can just have it now. Oh, so you're giving it to her?

Oh, no. See, I can't imagine... It's one of your favourite dresses. ...lending my brother anything. I can't imagine there being too many clothes that both you and your brother would like. No, no.

Unless you started wearing Pantera t-shirts. This is true. Then I can see him asking for a quick borrow. Right, and so now

you've basically given out that dress to her. Yeah, Merry Christmas. And are you still buying her something for Christmas?

Oh yeah, of course. You are, you are. You are too nice yeah, of course. Oh, see, I don't think you should. You are, you are. You are too nice. All right, Louise. Ho, ho, ho! Who's on the naughty list? Wait there, we've got Jen on the naughty list. Good morning, Jen.

Good morning, guys. Now, why are you on the naughty list? Oh, technically, I put my mother in the fridge. What? What? You're going to need to explain and elaborate on that incredible statement, Jen. Technically, I put my mother in the fridge. What? What? You're going to need to explain and elaborate on that incredible statement, Jin. So I'm Irish and my mother has a superpower of stringing out long conversations.

So our conversations can last three hours. Okay. Yeah. You know, your hands get tired, your ears get tired. I got tired, so I put my phone in the fridge while she was mid-conversation. And a couple of minutes in there, my flatmate was like, why is your phone in the fridge?

I was like, my mother's on the other side. And yeah, so I's on the other side. And, yeah, since I got back to my phone, she had no idea that I wasn't there the whole time. So she'd just been

talking the whole time. Yeah, just... Yep, same story. I'd be more worried about your phone getting damaged in the fridge, like, moisture. Why the fridge?

Why not just the cupboard? Because you can still hear it. Right, so the fridge is more of a quality. Yep, it's insulation. Irish mothers have such low voices. Wow. You really don't need, like, hands-free. Wow.

Okay, well, I now need to choose a winner. Super nice, Louise. Super nice, Louise. Too nice, Louise. Super nice. Super nice, Louise. And Jen, who put her mother in the fridge. Jen's story did make me laugh quite a lot. I'm going to go with you today, Jen.

I think Louise's prize is that she can... Not have her dress anymore? Yeah. Louise doesn't get a prize, really. Sleep well knowing that she's so nice, you know? Like, that's her prize. She's so nice. She doesn't need a prize because she's so nice.

Right. Like, she'd probably just give this prize to her sister. That's not how it works at Christmastime. You trying to justify this to yourself or us? Jen, I'm opening your present. Oh, you have won a Fitbit Charge 4.

I feel like this is, like, bad. You shouldn't give someone a, like, fitness thing, should you? Like, that's a... No, because we don't know. We don't know, Jen. It's not like we specifically

chose it for Jen. Yeah, that's just a random... It's not like you've singled out somebody in your family and been like, Hey, Tubbs. Here's some running shoes. Here's some... you've singled out somebody in your family and been like, hey, Tubbs, here's some running shoes. Try your 10,000 steps.

Hey, well, congratulations, Louise. You have won a Fitbit. Jen. Oh, my God. Louise was the nice one. She'll forgive you. She'll forgive me because she's so nice. Congratulations, Jen. Well done. Awesome. Thank you so much. And, Jen. Well done. Awesome.

Thank you so much. And a lot of amazing prizes under the tree. If you would like to register for the 12 Days of Fletchmas, just go to ZM online and tell us if you're on the naughty or the nice list. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. TVNZ Breakfast, we don't get to watch, we're working. Some of us bloody got to work. They do a segment on the show called today's the day uh this is where viewers send in photographs uh of people celebrating birthdays

anniversary special days they've checked it out on the screen um and well i was surprised to know that these sorts of things still happen because i would have thought they would have been ripe for the pranking yeah right for the prank yeah. Yeah. Ripe for the pranking. Yeah I don't know I think they might drop this segment now. I think so. Or there'll be

some changes. Because yesterday we were about to play you what went on in fact I'll play you the we'll play you what went on okay and then

television okay yesterday and I'll tell you what photo actually appeared. It is the 9th of December and here is what we are celebrating

with you today Aotearoa. Today is the 9th of December, and here is what we are celebrating with you today, Aotearoa. Today is the day that Francis and Violet Eastwood celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. I love it. This is their children's favourite photo of them taken on their honeymoon way back in 1990. I bet your parents don't want to get that. I love it.

Your adoring children, Dan, Rachel and Edwin, say you're the most caring parents they could ask for and are looking forward to celebrating with you today. Here's to another 30 years. That was not a photo of Francis and Violet Eastwood. That was British serial killers Fred and Rosemary West. A really famous photo of the two. But kind of their murderous spree

really shocked England because of how they did just look like your neighbours. Yeah. Just your every bloke and every gal. Yeah, they just looked like just a lovely old couple, didn't they? But they were vicious murderers. They were horrible.

Yeah. The Moors murders.ers. They were horrible. Yeah. The Moors murders. That's because yesterday I said to you, their series of murders were named after an area. Right. Okay, the Moors murders. The Moors murders. Do you think if John Campbell had been in studio,

he would have recognised that photo? Because I didn't recognise that photo. There's serial killers like the famous ones like Ted Bundy and, you know, Manson and stuff. You'd recognise him. But I didn't recognise him. The name rung a bell to me. Yeah, right.

But they didn't use their name. No, they used a different name. It was just that famous photo. Executive intern Anya, as our executive intern Anya producer, would you have let this slip through? Would you have recognised this if we did this segment? Well, I have never heard of this horrific

situation, so Yes. Yes. Is the answer, if we're being honest. Most of the producers that have at the TV One Breakfast Show would be like broadcasting school. Like, they'd be your age, wouldn't they? I imagine, yeah.

They probably were not alive when this happened. Yeah, I would have not blinked an eye at any of the photos. I wouldn't have. I would have just been like, what a cute, lovely old couple. Yeah, I'd just trust the photos and the stories that people are sending in. Absolutely. My suspicion would have been raised when they said the photo that was taken, they said

this was in 1990. But I looked at it and I was like this looks like late 70s. Yeah. Early 80s. Right. That would have been my first like, huh. But I would not have run a reverse Google image

search. Well, that's how I did message TV1's Manny McLean, who quite often does come on the show, friend of the show, and I can't read out the first half. There's a few expletives in that. He said, but it does mean we will now have to reverse Google image search any photo we put on here. So don't you

bloody try and get one round them again. Unless it's not reverse Google searchable. Then go for it. This feature's not coming back, is it? No.

We're just giving it a rest for a week and then hopefully in a week everybody's forgotten that it ever existed. Much like a lot of, you know how a lot

of football teams and sports teams are having the cardboard cutouts and people were sneaking in some famous dictators and yeah.

Yeah. Those ones you'd check too. You've got to make some entertainment in 2020, don't you? Fletchbourne and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

Fletchbourne and Megan's Community Notices. Meow. Welcome to Community Notices, a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand according to local Facebook page posts. And the reason I opened with a meow is that we've got a feline-themed opener for Community Notices from the Rolleston Community Cage page.

Cage? Sometimes Rolleston does feel like a cage. Sure. Tane. Tane? T-A-Y-N-E. Yeah, I'd go Tane. Tane.

T-A-Y. Yeah, Tane. Tane writes, woke up this morning and someone shaved my cat overnight. Let me show you a photo of this shaved feline. Was it previously? Still got the front, like the head. Oh, my God. The head's unshaved, but the whole body is shaved.

What the hell? It's a fully shaved cat. The angry face. As you would be, you imagine waking up and finding that someone had shaved your meow. What? That would be, you'd be like, who shaved that? Would a cat even let you do that? Like, wouldn't it scratch your eyeballs out?

Or, I don't know. Maybe if you had a bit of catnip to put it at ease. But you imagine if a cat was coming onto your property and weeing and pooing or whatever. But anyway, mystery solved. There's been an update. Tane posted again. Update, it was my mum who shaved the cat. False alarm. No, is there more?

Like, why? Now, this is where we just open the speculation as to why Mum shaved the cat. So it looks like a long-haired moggy. Now, there's two reasons that cat could have got shaved. We had Katie the cat growing up. Katie. She was a real horrible cat. But she looked like this,

and she always got really bad knots. Yeah, it got matted. Yeah. Yeah, okay. And she didn't stand for any brushing, so the only choice would have been a knots. Yeah, it got matted. Yeah. Yeah, okay. And she didn't stand for any brushing, so the only choice would have been a shave. And we're heading into the summer months. Maybe the cat... Yeah, true.

Oh, my cat's molting so bad at the moment. Yeah, it was hot. But the molting doesn't happen if it starts to get knotted. Yeah. So maybe mum was like, I'll just shave this cat. Get out this home hair care kit that I bought to save your father going to the hairdressers, and I'll shave senior puss puss. Yeah.

Because they were like, you know how there are dog groomers? Are there cat groomers? There would be for like posh cats. Like posh people. You know how posh people do like cat shows and stuff? Yeah. Surely. Probably just do it themselves.

Yeah, they're probably right into it. Maybe that's what I need to do. A cat grooming business. Because then I get to play with cute cats all day. But like do it themselves. Yeah, they're probably right into it. Maybe that's what I need to do, a cat grooming business. Because then I get to play with cute cats all day. Yeah, but like Megan said then. Claw your eyes out. Claw your eyeballs out. Okay, I'm not doing that now.

This one from the Flatmates Wanted Auckland page. Flatmate Wanted in Remuera. Flat shared with two others. Two bedrooms already occupied. So this is one bedroom available for one flatmate. Then they've got the details of that, the details of the house. It's at the end where it gets interesting. No couples allowed and no sleepovers allowed.

Oh, okay. Stipulating that if you move into this flat, you're agreeing to never have anyone over. Yeah, to not have anybody to have sleepovers. Maybe it's one of those flats where the walls are paper thin and you know, you hear everything. Yeah, but you can't say... You can't rule out sleepovers.

No. Yeah. You can't say no sleepovers, can you? Although maybe they've been burnt. Maybe it was one of those situations where someone's boyfriend was over all the time and they weren't paying any of the water or power. Maybe.

But you just make couples pay more. Yeah. Anyway, I'd be interested to know if there's any more to that no sleepover situation. This one from the Christchurch Buy Sale Trade page. Mel writes, anyone know plumbers that work for Ross Richdale's Plumbing? Does anyone know the young guy that works there? Wears a beanie, tattooed, was hot. Help me, is he single?

I want his number. Oh, my God. Wow, that's so cool. It's on the prowl right there on the Christchurch Buy, Sell, Trade page. I'd love an update on this. That is Ross Richdale's Plumbing. Modern love right there. Oh, they're not likely to have like a list of our crew on there.

They might have a Facebook page. Most businesses that have a Facebook page and they might be like, here's young. Oh, what if this poor dude has like a girlfriend? Got a midi. Now, but that's all right. Yeah, you can just be like, no thanks. No thanks, I've got a midi. And take the compliment.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. Have you found anything there? Nah. Nothing online? I'll continue a deep dive. Anybody, if there's a hottie at the bottom of the pool, Megan's going for a deep dive.

She'll look. She'll have a little bit of a look. Yeah. So if anybody has got any info there to help Mel out, that'd be much appreciated. And finally, from the Prebleton Community Group, Karen writes, Sorry for the late notice, but I can't take Pilates tonight.

I've just run over the cat on the way to the driveway. Oh, my God. And you know, that's terrible. She's done that thing. She hasn't put up a photo. No, no, no, no. She's done that thing. You know when you're filling out a status?

You might not know because who does status updates anymore? Yeah. But if you write not too many words, it gives you the option to put a decorative background in it. Oh, yeah. She's gone for like a cherry. With love hearts and her little personalised Facebook chat character down here with love hearts in the eyes.

So Karen's saying, sorry, late notice contact, but listen, I just ran the cat out on the way out. Heart eyes. Heart eyes, lovey background. Very, very sorry to hear about your cat. Yeah. Karen, that is very unfortunate. But at least it didn't come home shaved.

No, that's true. Just dead. Your mum did that. That is today's community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page, screen cap it and send it to us. We're FVMZM on Facebook. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Am I a bad person? Hello there. Am I a bad person is a segment where we hear from somebody who maybe faces a bit of a quandary. They're like, wait a minute, am I the bad guy here? And we ask you to weigh in. Hear the nation votes. Yesterday's Am I a Bad Person?

The person starts, I would like to participate in your Am I a Bad Person segment. Yeah, sure. Here's my story. Yesterday, my friend and I went out shopping, Christmas shopping, that time of the year, and for lunch also. Now, while we were out, she got a parking ticket in her car. It's $40. She is saying we have to go Harvey's, but I'm like, no, it's your car.

It's your responsibility. Whenever we take my car anywhere, I always pay for parking. It was sort of an unspoken rule we had. Yeah, I don't think it's unspoken. That's just, it's your car. You get the ticket, so you're responsible. So was she just going to, she just went and paid

herself and didn't say, okay, this is the time limit or anything. She just went up, paid for the parking and Or maybe she didn't pay for parking at all. Sounds like she didn't pay at all, Megan. She's got a $40 ticket. Or maybe it might have gone over time. Yeah.

So this person says, whenever we take my car, I always pay for parking, unspoken rules. So how is it fair that now we go halfsies when she hasn't paid for enough parking

when she's driven? Hmm. Well, if we take some, oopsie, if we take somebody else's car, I'll always say, I'll grab parking.

Always. Always do it. Yeah, I feel like that's. If somebody else has taken their car. Yeah. Because using their petrol, you pay for parking. Always. Always do it. Yeah, I feel like that's... If somebody else is taking their car... Yeah. Because using their petrol, you pay for parking. Yeah.

And they might be like, oh no, it's taken care of and they do it in the app or whatever. Yeah. But I always say, oh, I'll pay for parking because you're a good guy. Tickets are a...

Smithy the good guy, they say. But that is... They've invested the time to take their car and the petrol and the pain in the arse and... Does that not fall under the same window like if you get a speeding ticket with your mate in the car? It's like, well, your mate had nothing to do with that. Yeah, you're the one driving the car.

It's your responsibility. It's your ticket. No one would have tried on that speeding thing to get their friends to pay their speeding ticket. Surely not. No way in hell. You were in the car. You didn't even tell me to slow down. But isn't that the same kind of thing?

It's on the driver. If it's your car, you've got to make sure that there's parking paid for. Whether your friend offers to pay for it. Yeah, but if it was the sort of friend that I would likely go shopping with or have lunch with, I'd probably just pay $20. I'd probably just pay half of the $30. Oh, yeah, right. I'd be like, oh, yeah.

But then I also can't imagine any friends being like, you owe me $20 for this parking ticket. I would. Yeah. So you'd say you owe me $20 for this parking ticket, but if I got the parking ticket, you'd refuse to pay it. It's on you. Wow, you are a piece of shit.

I pay for parking sometimes, haven't I? Just trying to remember. I don't think so. Nah. Old Smithy's always straight in there with the app and that. Just a good bit Parking sometimes Haven't I? Just trying to remember Have I? I don't think so Nah Old smithy He's always straight in there With the app And the credit card

Of the machine I'm like I'll get it He's like don't worry about it Don't worry about it Yeah because you were Really going to get it Yeah yeah Yeah token gestures

No but it's like That thing you do Where you just like Get your card out Or you get your wallet And you're like I'll get it No I'll get it.

No, I'll get it. Oh no, you're not going to interrupt me and tell me you've got it anyway? So, okay, so the question, is this person a bad person for not wanting to pay half the parking ticket?

Yeah. Having no time for this, for this parking ticket that their friend believes they're half responsible for. Megan, you say bad person?

Not a bad person. Not a bad person. I'm going to say not a bad person. Bourne? Nah. Because they're not a bad person. But you'd still go halves. I'd probably have paid for the parking or have gone halves. But if their rule

is when you take your car, you pay for parking. But it's an unspoken rule. And that's the problem with unspoken rules. You might think it's as clear as day, but if it's not been spoken... Okay. Well, 0800 Tiles at M. Give us a call. Are they a bad person for not wanting to pay half the ticket? You can text in 9696.

And maybe you've been in this situation where you've gone out with friends and somebody has pulled this as well. And maybe it's ended a friendship or it's caused a bit of an argument. You see, if it's going to cause a massive argument, it's $20. Just paid $20 to avoid all the drama?

Yeah. All right, give us a call. You go to the mall, shopping. Actually, we don't even know that it was a mall. No, it's shopping. A $40 parking ticket. Yeah. Maybe it was on the street.

Yeah, maybe grabbed some lunch, got back late was a mall. A $40 parking ticket. Yeah. Maybe it was on the street. It was on the street, yeah. Maybe grabbed some lunch, got back late, and your friend hadn't paid for enough parking in their car. They want to split the bill for the parking ticket. Is that fair? Are they a bad person for saying, I don't want to? No, I don't want to. So we want to know what you think.

And if you've been in a similar situation. A few text messages. Absolutely not. You're not a bad person. You may need to revalue that friend who asked you to pay for half of the ticket. What planet does she live on? Common sense is not so common these days. Why is it called common sense?

It doesn't seem to be common these days. Somebody said it's 20 bucks and your friend's going to have to pay 40 bucks for a day out with you. Wouldn't you just pay half? Yeah, true. Bea, what do you think?

Is she a bad person? No, I think she's a bad person. Okay. Okay. Have you been in a similar situation? Yeah. So my friend drove me to the mall to buy me a birthday present.

Parked in a 90 minute parking spot and obviously went over time. Came back and had a $50 parking ticket and she was so distraught over it. I was like, oh my god, it's fine, I'll pay for it. And so I ended up just pretty much paying for my own birthday present.

You pay for it today. Good on you, though. God, Maul's a scummy. Nah, because sometimes that emotional friend is just grown up pulling that shit to their mum and dad. So they just know if they have a cry, someone's going to take care of their problems for them. Yeah, it's normally hot people too, isn't it? They get away with everything. Gutsful.

Lou, what do you think? Bad person or not? Hi, long time listener. First time caller, guys. Hey! Yes, I love when people use that line. Lou, so what do you think? Not a bad person or?

No, she's not a bad person. So one day, me, my mum and sister were shopping up at Albany at the mall. It was my car, but mum was driving. Had a great shopping day. Come back to the car. It was my car, but mum was driving. Had a great shopping day. Come back to the car. Ticket, enforcement ticket for like 80 bucks. Now, we didn't realise that where we were parking after two hours, you had to pay.

And so even though mum was driving, it's my car, it's my responsibility. I'd never ask anyone else to pay. This other friend just needs to pay it and shut up. Oh, see, I would have been like, mum, this is on you. Yeah, mum yeah mom i'm sorry when mums are there they they trump everything money bags mom or just cry and be like oh so much money hey lou thanks for your call uh some text messages uh my flatmate uh went away with a friend for a day trip really really last minute, and his friend said, do you want to come with just to keep me company? When they got back, the driver asked the flatmate

for half the tank of gas. That's a real sticky one. Because they were going anyway. Because technically you went on the trip, but technically they were going anyway. And you went to keep them company. They asked you to go with. That was their reason for asking, wasn't it?

It wasn't a group organisation of like, let's go and do this thing. Okay, cool. Because then, yeah, you chip in for petrol, don't you? See, that's like, that's cheeky. I wouldn't have paid just because it was very cheeky. On principle. On principle. Just do what I do and don't pay the ticket.

Yeah, oh, that's how. Oh, okay. Definitely doesn't come back to bite you. No, that's how. Oh, okay. Definitely doesn't come back to bite you. No, it doesn't, no. Yeah. They can't find you. That's next time. Am I a bad person?

I'm on the run from my city council because I refused to pay the ticket that I got, even though I broke the rules that I knew I was breaking. Someone said, it's about time people started taking responsibility for their mistakes. Drivers should pay for all the fines they received As they were the wrong doer Yeah if you had to summarise With a percentage I'd say the majority are like

Not a bad person Nah you're not a bad person But if you wanted to be a really good person And a good friend You'd pay half Yeah you're not a bad person if you don't But you'd be a better person if you did. Fletchvorn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. Fletchvorn and Megan's Baby Chase. Hello and welcome to the Baby Chase. Are we allowed to just do a sidetrack on the chase? The new chase is on the table. The new chaser, yeah. He's pretty cool. I actually quite like him. The Irish fella. Yeah. He's pretty cool. I actually quite like him. The Irish fella.

Yeah. You know his backstory, eh? He was on the chase and he was like an amazing contestant. But his team kept like buzzing in and giving the wrong answer in the final chase. Even though he'd given them this huge cash base. Yeah. And they cost them the win. And apparently it became like a bit of an online hit.

Yeah, right. As the dude that got duped by a dumb team. And then, yeah, he auditioned to be a chaser and... Confident. And now there he is. Yeah. Wow. Well, the baby chase, these are questions about bebes.

As Megan awaits the arrival of her bebe. Two months to go. And I believe I'm leading the baby chase. It's because you cheat and you wrangle the... Is knowledge cheating? There's no cheating, no. No. And I believe I'm leading the baby chase. It's because you cheat and you wrangle the... Is knowledge cheating? There's no cheating, no. No, you said Anne and Annie were the same name last time. It's not the same name.

Well, anyway, it turns out I'm more prepared for a baby. Let's have another round of the baby chase. Your time starts now. Oh, wait, are we buzzing them with baby cries again? Yeah. Okay. I can see you too, so that helps. There's no confusing the sounds of the baby cry.

I can still work out where a sound's coming from. Why do you want to make it harder for him to work out if you're buzzing in? Who was that? Oh, shit, I've got no idea. I guess you found my Achilles heel. Question one. How long is the average breastfeeding session? Wah!

Oh! Megan. I'm not sure. I was just buzzing in because I knew he'd buzz in real quick. Average breastfeeding session. Depends on the baby. It's the average, Megan. It's the average.

So it takes into account the short ones, the long ones, the challenging ones. It's challenging. No one says it's easy. I want to say maybe 25 minutes. Fletch, she's not right. So you get the opportunity to be closer. I'm going to say 17. Fletch is in there not right, so you get the opportunity to be closer. I'm going to say 17. Fletch is in there.

The average breastfeeding sits between 10 to 20 minutes. I was going to say 15. Whatever. Right in the middle. Yes. Okay. 17. You're about to have a baby. You should know this.

True or false? Babies cry with an accent. Fletch. What? True. True, yes. It's just a guess. Research.

It's an Irish baby. It's a guess on a stupid question. It's an Irish baby. It's like, wha, wha. And an Italian baby's like, wha, wha, wha, wha, wha. Wha, wha, wha. Wha, wha, wha, wha, wha. And a German baby's like.

Who writes these questions? And a Jamaica baby's like. So what's a Kiwi baby doing? Wah-wah. You just do, g'day, mate. Wah. Wah-wah. Wah-wah. Wah.

Wah-wah. Wah-wah. Sweet as bro. Wah-wah-wah. Research. Sorry, can I just get a score update? Yep, that's 2-0 to you in this round. Because you had a stupid guess on a stupid question. Published in Current Biology, studied the cries of

60 babies from French and German parents and found that they cried with the same melody used in their native language. Yeah, there you go. Next question. How much does the Ergo Baby Omni 360 Carrier Cool Air Mesh Raven

retail? I don't even know what that is. I'm going to say $2,000. Jesus. I don't even know what that is. I'm going to say $2,000. Jesus. I don't know what it is, but I'm going to say $980. You're both shot quite high there, Megan. You are closer. They're recommended retail price, $349.

What is that? What is it? I don't know. I thought it was a stroller. Because strollers are real spinny, say. It's a carrier, so it might be like more of like a baby. It's just a basket.

It's definitely just a basket. A front pack. Oh, okay. It's a front pack. Okay, well, we're both wrong there. No, I'm closer. Closer by $700. Yeah, yeah, but Megan's closer.

You get points for being closer. Thank you. Otherwise, we might end in a... First fight. I was going to say a draw draw please don't punch anybody fourth question in the baby chase when do babies usually around what time do babies usually say their first word wing megan i'm just gonna say something you're gonna be like wrong and then he's gonna come in with another guess. Yeah, that's exactly how this works. First word.

Give me a sign. No. No signs. Five months? Six months? I'm going to say a year. Seven months? Around 12 months old, according to X-Men.

Yeah. Six months. Six months. Baby's like, what's up? It's just going to say it when it wants to. It's no different to like, it makes no difference how I'm going to look after it. According to experts, around 12 months. I don't know, man.

First words, maybe greetings like hi or bye bye. Or they might be mama or dada or pets or food. Indy's first word, my daughter's first word, bacon. Literally said it clear as a bell. I think she'd be like, mama, mama, but like proper word was bacon. I was just like, this is what pride feels like. So I'm now leading the baby chase 3-0. Yeah.

I'm more prepared to have a baby than you. It's so debatable from these questions. True or false, babies can't taste salt. True. Correct. Young babies are born with a well-developed sense of taste, but not for salt. I'm not playing anymore. This is shit.

Study showed that babies can't taste salt until they're about four months old. If this was my laptop, I'd flip it. So they just start being able to taste salt, and then according to Megan, they can talk. So they could probably eat something and be like, not salty enough. More salt, please, mother. Well, there we go. Round of applause for Fletch.

Yeah, another victory for Fletch. Megan, please join in. Okay, well, I learned how to bath a baby last night, which I think is more important than when it can taste salt. So, whatever. What did you use? Like a doll? Yeah.

A little plastic doll. Yeah, I feel like it's not like they don't prepare you enough. The doll's not screaming at you and like wiggling. Also, babies don't float as much, do they? As a doll? No, no, no. You can't let that go. All right.

And if they get water in them, you can't pop their head off and shake them out. Tip it out, go. All right. And if they get water in them, you can't pop their head off and shake them out. Tip it out, yeah. So, mum just texted and said, don't worry, babes, I haven't got any of these right. And she's done it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day is about cicadas. Okay.

I was thinking about cicadas yesterday because I heard some. And I was like, here we go. Here we go again. Cicada time. But this is about American cicadas because 2021 is the year that brood X comes out of their 17-year hibernation. Oh, God. What is that? That sounds ominous.

2020 treat? Brood 10. The X stands for 10. Okay. And so there's all these different broods. Because have you ever seen the nature documentaries about how cicadas are born, like that little larvae, and then they go into the ground and they stay there for 17 years? All of them or just some of them?

So there's two types of cicadas. There's 13-year cicadas and 17-year cicadas. Huh. So Brood X is that one. And if you've seen the famous documentary where they show just millions and millions and millions of cicadas yeah uh and it's kind of being used as like the the hallmark and that video of the cicadas emerging is the one that you'd see everywhere if you've looked at cicadas that is brood x brood x is uh

massive it is also known as the great eastern brood. And in 2021, they are due to emerge. But wouldn't they be emerging every year? So there's different broods and they're in the cycle. So there's brood one, which last emerged in 2012. Okay. And it's on a 17-year cycle. It'll be back in the year 2029. And then there's brood two, and that last emerged in 2013. It'll be back in 2012. Okay. And it's on a 17-year cycle. It'll be back in the year 2029. And then there's brood two,

and that last emerged in 2013. It'll be back in 2030. Now, these are all, like, fairly sizable broods. Right. Of the cicadas, but that big one, where it's got the greatest

eastern broods, and it goes in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. They're the states that are covered by this.

So this is massive because the rest of them have like five states that they're spread to. But Brood X is that massive one where like millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of cicadas are due to emerge in spring, in American spring next year. They have like red eyes. They're like colourful, but I wouldn't want it landing on me. If I opened the French doors, just imagining I lived in a cottage,

and there was an annoying cicada, and I saw it on the footpath, and I stomped it, I have just killed something that was in the ground waiting to appear for 17. 17 years. 17 to 13 years. Yep. Wow. But don't they only live?

They don't last long when they come out anyway. They crawl out of the ground, and they crawl up a tree, and then they shed their skins, and those are the things we find are the husks. Yeah.

Those are the things that have been protecting them in the ground, and then they're like, what up? And they fly around, and then they lay eggs, and then they die. So they're in the ground for like 17 years, and they up? And they fly around and then they lay eggs and then they die.

So they're in the ground for like 17 years and they come out and they don't last long at all. Isn't that why they make lots of noise? They're like, I need a mate, I need a mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need a... Oh, right. And then they do and then that's it.

What if you build a house on them? You wipe them out. That's what they're saying. There's areas of forest that the cicadas have been in when it's been wiped out and turned into something and that's just the end of them. They're like, oh, I'm going to pop up now. And they're like,'s areas of forest that the cicadas have been in when it's been wiped out and turned into something, and that's just the end of them. They're like, oh, I'm going to pop up now. And they're like, what's this giant concrete house thing?

Oh, oh, no. Oh, that's really sad. I was more thinking when they, like, bulldoze the land, the cicadas just get smashed. Oh, yeah, okay, right, yeah. And their little larvae stage underground. But, yeah, so next year's the big one, the one that you may have seen in nature documentaries where, like, the forest floor is just like littered

with cicadas, the great eastern brood. So today's fact of the day is that although cicadas emerge every year, next year is a very, very, very big year for cicadas. Yay, 2021, it's your year. It's your year. They'll come out and they'll be like, okay, what we miss.

Last summer out was 2004. It's your year. They'll come out and they'll be like, okay, what we miss. Last time we were out was 2004. People were getting phones that could take photos. Oh, my gosh.
