I don't want a blue tick because I'm just a man of the people yeah me too kind of jesus jesus wouldn't have accepted a blue tick yeah and i've always been an alternative kid gothic emo you know i'm not part of the um the society norm yeah man you know what i mean i'm i'm alternative i want a red star i want to get kicked off instagram. Put your tits on there. I could. The nip would be it. I'll do it now. Can you take the photo?

I thought they were good with nips. I thought they were good with nips now. No, they're still anti-nip. Not lady nips. Lady nips. No, lady nips. No, I'm... No, they're not pro-nip.

My friend Morgan, she put up a photo the other day, but I think she covered nips. Yeah, she covered nips. She covered her nips. Lady nips. Can I... Could you get out... Are you allowed penis on Instagram? I think you can have full. Yeah, she covered nips. She covered her nips. Lady nips. Could you get out, are you allowed penis on Instagram? I think you can have full.

A ranty penis. No, but an arty penis. You can have full C and B, but no nips. Well, that's the thing. If you put up a picture of Michelangelo's David, he's got a cock and balls. Now, would that get you banned from Instagram

or a warning? Or does, where does, where does, when does a cock become art? You've become flustered Talking about penis That's what I'm saying Well it's more to do with

Art That's made me flustered I might do a sort of Super close up Of my nip So you'll just see Sort of like a Fleshy

Like on those Game shows Where they do an Ultra close up And they're like What is this photo And people are like Is it the surface of Venus

And then they zoom out And they're like No it's actually Haley's. It's a nip. The only reason I wouldn't do that is because I do get a lot of requests. Giant areoles. No, I don't have big old areoles. Hairy nips.

Is that I get quite a lot of requests for stuff like that from pests and creeps. Has anybody ever asked you for your feet? Yep. Because remember our old producer, James 1.0, he actually got caught into a scam where somebody wanted to see his feet, and they said they'd give him a gift card, a Visa gift prezi card. But it had been expired. I don't believe I was offered money or a prezi card,

and so if you're listening and you want to see a picture of my feet. You're open to that? Comes at a price. Right, okay. But I might do a nip. We'll just see how long it lasts. A super close nip. Right.

Super close. You're the anti-Instagrammer, really. I am. Yeah. Bit of a renegade. ZM. Head music. Lives here.

Fleece, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleece, Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul. Three minutes past six. Three. Three.

Three. Three. Travel, but six. Three minutes. Three. Three. Travel, but more travel bubble chat. I believe it when I say it. Do you remember when we all got so excited about travel bubbles last year? That was in, was that in August? Yeah.

And then there was that cluster and the Cook Islands were like, well, maybe not right now. We're like, but, but, but, but, but, but. And then we're like, well, maybe we could go to Australia after the summer of no COVID and then

no. I was just having, I was just trying to find out how Thailand was doing. That's the bubble that I feel like the most. You feel like that will be your first like, that would be your holiday place? Oh my God, absolutely. Oh, they're at zero cases.

I think they've done pretty well, actually. Yeah, Vietnam and Thailand did do very well. Had a real spike in January. I saw some photos out of Bali a while ago. It's pretty grim over there, pretty dire. Yeah, well, they depend on tourism dollars so much. Look, Thailand launches yacht quarantine for tourists. I'll quarantine on a yacht.

How lovely would that be? Just going around the islands, but you wouldn't be able to get off and go onto the islands. You're seasick. Or they might be looking into the vaccine passport as well, so that could be good. Did you see in Bali, because Bali, not much has been happening. Did you see about the sex camp?

The yoga? No, it was a yoga. Was it an orgasm yoga? It was a full-body orgasm immersion course. It was how to learn to orgasm with every ounce of your being. Yeah, because I was immediately intrigued by this news story, so I clicked on it, and the guy running it was, wow. Creepy, right?

It was really creepy. Just looked like your old mate neighbor. Bali Orgasm Retreat. Are they open for 2021? It's in my email prep that I sit around. That's shut. I will be having a lot of fun. That's shut down.

I think the police shut that down. Yeah, but you know, you want to get ahead if you want to get into there next year. Well, Cash said it best when she said, Popo, shut it down, down. Popo, shut it down. Damn it. But they're very conservative there. So he's being investigated by the police. Yeah.

Oh, really? Imagine the noises coming out of that retreat. Uh-huh. The daily mantra. Yeah. Please tell me that's not. Yeah. That's a full body chew back our orgasm.

And now we know why your neighbours dislike you so much. Why it's consistent. Yeah. Are the top sixes coming up? Yeah. Eskimo lollies have been renamed. Cancelled. Wow.

Wow. I was referring to what they used to be called. It's been good, man. It's been so good. I could lie and say I had fun, but no. It's the Fletcher and Hayley show now. The S-I-M-O-S. If you're going to spell it, does that make it any less offensive?

We're not saying it in an offensive manner, and it is a recognised Indigenous people of the North Americas. Oh, cancelled white man. Again? That's three cancellations in a row. It is 6.06. We've been on here three minutes. They have been renamed. Three times. I've got the top six other possible names because now they're called

Explorers. Oh, right. Pascal's have named them. Pascal's Explorers. Do they still, have they changed the appearance of the lolly at all? They look exactly the same, I believe. I was hoping you were going to do the top six orgasm noises from the Bali retreat. I can do that one. Ahuga, ahuga.

Number six. Number five. Okay, maybe not. All right, also coming up. How old is that one? Some old fella's just there. It's a puff of dust. Thank you.

He died happy. He's stoked. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. New Zealanders have loved the campervan experience of late. Granted, your choices have been somewhat limited. Yes. And campervans are like, they love us.

They really love us. But people may love you just due to lack of choice. Well, we can't go anywhere else, can we? Yeah, but jumping in a Brits or a Maui or a Juicy, did they go? Would you say they're more of a van? Were they a camper van? Yeah. More of a van.

Don't see the Wicked campers around as much anymore, do you? No, with all the graffiti. The ones that were spray painted with wildly inappropriate characterisations of Disney princesses saying wildly inappropriate things. Oh, yeah. Remember that whole rigmarole? I've never driven one. I've been in one once.

They don't go very fast. They don't. I've been stuck behind a thousand of them. You're very wary that because you have been stuck behind campers a thousand times, you're very wary about holding people up. You're like, oh, God, here we go. So you try to pull over as much as you can. I was surprised how, maybe this was the one I was in,

how noisy they are in terms of when you're on the open road, like everything, the kitchen rattling, the plates and the forks and everything rattling. The cups going crazy and doors swinging open. That's why you can tell the people who are like, that own their own motorhomes, they've got all those

devices that do soften the noise. Like they might have, the things that hold the dishes might have a foam bit between them so they don't clang on each other. Yeah, I found the trick was, we had a little oven in the one that we were in and I found the trick was to take the oven tray out. Oh yeah, that'll rattle all around. Because you'd think on the little racks.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you like the vibration, it'll rattle all around. There's been a huge uptake in Kiwis using campers. So 50% of people who booked a Maui or a Brits were booking them within three weeks of leaving. And that's the other thing. With lockdowns, kind of like, could it happen again? If you book too far out, it might not happen.

Well, I'm only booking anything that's refundable. Yeah, same. Because I had to cancel the other weekend trip to Nelson. So I had to cancel the motel, the flights, everything. So you'll book it as long as it's refundable. Yeah. Or you pay when you actually get there. Yeah, and then just pay when you get there, yeah.

Yeah. So people are bloody loving it, though. They're 20,000 bookings. Imagine the roads. Just chocolate with them. 20,000 of them. There were more anyway, weren't there? We're used to this many being out there

Because tourists love campervanning around New Zealand Because it's a great way to dawdle around See what you like, stop where you find your passion Dawdle is the word of it So 20,000 bookings 65% of those were first time campervanners Who hadn't done it before How many people do you reckon were like, no, not again I'd like to know how many people of those were first-time campervans who hadn't done it before. Oh, how many people do you reckon were like, no, not again?

I'd like to know how many people of those first-timers tried to go through a Macca's drive-thru without checking their height. That's the thing, you've got to know the height of your vehicle. Oh, that's why that bar's up there with the height on it. And often insurance excludes roof damage. Really? Yeah, in a really high vehicle. You've got to pay a little extra to get the roof damaged because you go into trees or anything. Oh, right.

You can scratch the roof up, make a mess. 85% of people who booked were keen to do it again. And 40% even went as far as ticking the little box that said they would consider purchasing a camper van. Where are you going to put it? You've got to have room for it. Or what do you get, a storage unit? Get a storage unit. And 100% increase in camper van sales in the

second half of last year. Same with caravans. Aren't people going crazy for caravans? Caravans are so expensive at the moment. Yeah. Because people won't be able to tow their little holiday homes. Camper vans remind me of tents. You know, they're always like, sleep six. And you get in there and you're like, where?

We'll see that dining table. There's one bed. The table bit folds down. Then those cushions come out and that's a double bed. Someone's got to sleep above the cabin and someone's sleeping on the oven tray in the oven. And then there's a driver's seat, passenger's seat. Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're getting creative now. Sleep on the roof if it's warm enough. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. I'm not meant to laugh at this poor bugger, but there's a man in the US who was, well, it was a bad day. He went to the hospital with respiratory issues and lo and behold, COVID. Should be COVID, I was going to say, yeah.

So they, sorry. So anyway, it's very sad. So he was put on a ventilator and then his lungs started to fail. Like it was quite, he had it quite badly. Right. That's not why I'm laughing. After 10 days of struggling with it, they did this technique, which is used to help get air around the body.

They turned them face down for 12 hours. So put you on your tummy for 12 hours. In like a massage table situation where you can breathe through a hole? I don't know, maybe your head's turned, but shoot, it's 12 hours. That's a stiff neck. You'd want a massage table

because you can put your... Your head straight through and you can dribble. I was thinking you could just watch your phone as well. Oh, you could, yeah. Well, I don't know if he had a stiff neck, but when they flipped him back around, they noticed that he had developed a stiff something else. He had a strong and sturdy erection.

Okay, right. From lying down. Maybe he was lying on the wrong part of the massage table, and that had been through the head hole. Yeah. So they noticed this erection on this poor bugger, and they put ice packs around it to try to bring it down because it was obviously not a sexual thing.

He was not at all turned on. He was having a terrible week and it lasted three hours. A three-hour... Oh, I've just read how they got rid of it, but I'll tell you about it. Did they... How did they get rid of it but I'll tell you about it. Drained it. Did they? How'd they get rid of it? You can't say that. I've heard of that. They put a needle in, like a tyre,

relieve the pressure. So it's called pre-epism. So what happened was it was a blood clot. In the dilly. It wouldn't let it out. Oh, right. Blood clot in the willy. So how they did it was yeah, they put 21 gou needles placed along the shaft. Okay, you didn't need to tell us how.

To drain the blood from it. Yep. And after that, it eased. Wow. How embarrassing. And now, like, on the other side of the world, there's a radio station and an entire country

laughing at you. We don't know his name, though. Oh, I'm not laughing. They haven't named him. Oh, gosh. But you'd know it's you. This is not the first time. Apparently, this is,

well, it's not a side effect of COVID, but there's been a couple of cases of this pre-opism. Clotting. It's really the only way to get rid of it. I've heard of people that maybe put something around

there. Oh, yep. Reading an article, maybe like a I'm just trying to think of a small circular object. Rubber band. Like a ring. Yeah, right. No, because a rubber band they can cut and then they can't cut it off and the blood can get in but it can't get out. But what if it was to drop off?

You know, like when you, what do you do that thing to sheep? Dagging. Dagging them. And you rubber ring their tail. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's why you. What if you were like, oh, we'll fix it this way,

and then off it pops, and you go, well, that wasn't exactly what we intended to do. So now you wake up from your COVID stupor, and you've got no willy left. Well, this sounds like a great reason to get a vaccination. It really does. Get a vaccination or you might get pre-opism. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

So the question, should sports people and sports teams get the COVID vaccine, the Pfizer jab, before they go overseas to sporting tournaments or matches. If I was going to make an informed decision on this, I would want to hear the argument for why. Well, people aren't happy already. So we can watch sports.

Yeah, because this was on the news last night. It was talked about yesterday. I think in one of the, I think Chris Hipkins in the briefing was asked about travellers coming to New Zealand and should they need a vaccine to get in, like a vaccine passport. So I think that's kind of spurred all this chat on. And because the Warriors are about to go, the NRL's about to start, our cricket is about to go to India.

Is the IPL going to be on soonish? The IPL and then going to England for the final of the World Test Series. Aren't the Warriors going to stay in Australia? Yeah, but that's the thing. A lot of them have got to go without their family for a whole lot of time just to... How good would that be? ...place book.

Sorry. I don't have children. Wife's always getting in the way of you sleeping with all those bloody... Where did they get put up last year? To Womba. No. Where were the Warriors based last year? Oh, they went somewhere in the way of you sleeping with all those bloody... Where did they get put up last year? To Womba. No. Where were the Warriors based last year?

Oh, they went somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, and their nickname was the Something Warriors, and they were based out of there. So, I mean... Get down the pub. I guess because people are like, well, you're going to give a whole sports team the vaccine, which could be what?

Like 80 doses. Well, if there's 40 people, players and management they have to travel. So what's that? Two doses? 80? 80 doses? How many do we have? A few? Well, we're going to have 5 million eventually. So I guess the argument is, well, you're going to give them the jab

right now, but you could be giving it to elderly people or front line workers, which are already starting to get it. They're in a position of privilege really, aren't they? Yes. I certainly don't think they should get it in place of essential workers or the elderly or the high risk

but if there's enough that they can do them at the same time, I don't see why we can't. Why don't we do it like Broadway does tickets to big shows. You've got to go on Via GoGo and pay like $1,000. No, no, no, no. Because you know people would.

Q in the freezing streets of Manhattan. Like a lottery, because nothing's more fair than Lotto. I think you'll find that's quite unfair for quite a few people. You know what I mean? Five million names go into a little barrel. But the thing is, younger people don't need the vaccine. All right, well, I resent that.

And they do. They do, but... But not with priority as such. Exactly. And particularly if you're looking at athletes, they're healthy young people. Yeah, but also, like there's a big issue at the moment

with mental health and people's emotional states. And if people get enjoyment, if, say, half the population get enjoyment out of watching the sports team win a World Cup or a gold medal at the Olympics, isn't that worth two doses of vaccine? Or a handful? I've always fought for the importance of entertainment. But where do you stop? Then you go, well the importance of entertainment. But it's hard. Where do you stop?

Then you go like, well, we're all entertainers should get it. But then you're like, well, no, all, we all, I don't know. My mum said to me, are you getting it early? I was like, beg your pardon? She's like, well, you had that letter saying you were an essential worker during lockdown. And then I realised she was being sarcastic. Do you know, can you imagine if any of us,

if you two turned up to the supermarket and there was a queue, but you know how you're allowed to jump the queue if you're an essential worker? Well, at the local supermarket in Mount Albert, it was like that. Yeah, during lockdown, that was the situation. Imagine if you went up and you showed this letter saying, I'm on ZM. It's absolutely embarrassing.

Someone's got to talk shit at 6am. It's me. Here's my letter. I'm going to clean this place out. So we've run a poll on Instagram. Should athletes or sports teams get the jab first? 78% of people saying no. Yeah, I think I agree. So there you go.

And this is what we have to look forward to by the way in the next few months. This is already doing my head in. In the UK, following the news in the UK and Australia, it's all about the order of who's getting the vaccine and it is intense. It's annoying. I'm a sports person

and I've got, so Marching Nationals, that's next week. Are you laughing? Yes. Marching Nationals, one of the most intense sports around. So am I on this list?

Don't laugh at the marches because... It is Marching Nationals next weekend. I know. She did it and she's been hunted. I've got training tonight. We're going to tear you apart. The only good thing about being hunted by the marching team is you hear them coming because it's all...

In perfect unison. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. From the oily ZM think tank, this is the top six. I'm only going in one ear again. And I keep feeling like I've gone deaf in one ear, but it's just this little wire.

You've got a cord that's going on your headphones. Well, that happened to me yesterday and I've stolen the spears, so you have to put up with it. No, I'm going to do what you've done. I'm going to rock one ear out the back. I do it all the time. This is too much for me. Too much.

It's too all-encasing. I like to be in the room, present. Well, after 65 years on the market being called Eskimos, Pascal, I'm not. Cancelled? No, I'm not. I checked. I can't wait to see these headlines.

Vaughan Smith. Says Eskimo. Cancelled racist. And is cancelled. 65 years they've been around. And I remember, do you remember in 2009, it was a Canadian tourist who said, yikes. I don't know if you can do that because.

No. That's not a word that just gets thrown around. And then what was the ice cream? Eskimo pies. Oh, whoa. You're setting him up. Are they still called Eskimo pies? No, they renamed those to something else.

Eskimo pie. I'm going to join him because it's hard to talk about how bad it is without saying it. But remember the Redskin lollies? Yes. Yeah, but then there's the Washington Reds. The baseball, softball. No, NFL. Oh, I was like.

But then there's a problem. There's like the Cleveland Braves. Yeah. There's lots of. But it took them a while to rename the Lollies. They said, well, 2009 when it was first raised. Right, well, they've done it now. Yeah.

And they're called Explorers. I can't believe they're putting, I would have just taken them off the shelf, because no one. No, but how would we make lolly cake? See, this is the conundrum. They're the yummest of the softest lollies. No, I don't like them.

I'm not a marshmallow person. I only like them in the context of a lot of butter and biscuit surrounding them in a lolly cake. Okay, yeah. But they're not, are they marshmallows? They're like a harder, chewier. But if you were to go

to the lolly aisle at your local supermarket, you wouldn't be like, I'm not buying a bag of those. You're not buying a bag of Explorers. You're going for something a bit sort of fruitier.

Fruit jubes. Yeah, juby. My dad liked a bag in the car. Of fruit jubes? No, no, no, no. Of? Explorers. Explorers.

Explorers. Yeah, I see what you're trying to do. Trip me up to get to say it again. Okay, I can still find a story from June 2020 about Tip Top Eskimo pies to be renamed. But I can't find that it has been. And their official website still says Eskimo pie. Okay. Someone just hoping that was... Well, I'm not cancelling Tip Top because they make too many delicious ice creams.

It's just vanilla ice cream with chocolate shell on it. It's beautiful in its simplicity. It's the poorest of all the ice creams. Oh, no, I was going to say it's beautiful in its simplicity. Well, it's changed. They are now Pascal Explorers. Yum, yum. Eat them up.

But I've got the top six other possible names that were banded around for Explorers before they settled on Explorers. Number six, the Aucklander in Dunedin in May in their Kathmandu puffer jacket. They do look like that, don't they? They do. Pull it all tight. Pull their little hood situation really tight.

Yep. Only have the face exposed. And now, of course, there might even be a mask over the face. That's probably to keep the face a little bit warmer. Number five on the list of the top six other possible names for explorers is someone who's about to be asked to take their hoodie off in the service station. Oh, yeah. Yeah, chuck a hoodie on in winter and walk into a server.

They'll be like, can you just pop that off, please? You're like, yeah. Fly-bys? No, gone. I was going to rob the place. Wah! Number four on the list of the top six other possible names for explorers, Sir Ed's.

Could have called him Sir Ed's. Because he climbed Everest. He probably would have had a sign off from the Hillary Foundation. Hillary Bowery. Hillary Timmons. All the other Hillary's that have ever been around. Hillary Swank. Yeah. She's a hard one to get pen to paper to.

She won't put her name to that because she doesn't like New Zealand because she got charged $400 having an apple in her bag. She shouldn't have had a bloody apple in her bag. Remember that when she came here? She shouldn't have had an apple in her bag. Oh, do you remember the days when you got charged for having fruit in your bag when you came back? Oh, how I long to be punished for an orange.

I wonder if they still would. I reckon they still would. Oh, yeah. Are you repatriating? On the 100 flights a day, they're probably planting apples just to make some money. Is that how a government department works? Scandal. Airline scandal.

Planting apples. I'm unsuspecting repatriating New Zealanders to recoup costs of flight. Number three on the list of the top six other possible names that they thought about before settling on explorers. Queenstown Tourist who wildly underestimated their ability to handle the cold. Yeah. Always looked cold and freaked out and not quite sure why it's so cold. Number two on the list of the top six other possible names for Explorers before they settled on them.

Saturday morning winter sports coach. Yes. Yeah. On the sideline there, drawstring pole. Dude, get ready to get it, Steve. Steve Hansen's got that one that goes all the way down to the ground. Yeah, you want one of those. Yeah.

He's so much cold. Did you know Trillis Cooper? Do you reckon he was wearing a Trillis Cooper long puffer? Well, I think it was Adidas. Adidas. Yeah, but sure. Cute dress, though. And number one on the list of the top six other possible names for Explorers

before they sit on Explorers, hungover person walking to the dairy for a powerade. Oh, my God, yes. They probably got their pyjama bottoms on and then a puffer. It's not even that cold, but they just need the security of that puffer jacket to help them get there. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Snake in a pipe. Imagine doing a little bit of construction and finding a snake in a pipe. Well, that was a South Auckland work of worth nightmare. It's going to be hard to get through this. Can you stop slithering, please, like a snake? A snake was found in a pipe. They were flushing out a new pipe. And a snake popped out.

It was dead? Yes, it was dead. But I thought, when I read it, and last night when I quickly had a quick squiz, I was like, this is a snake that died in a pipe. The pipe from overseas was then imported to New Zealand or it died in the fumigation process at

either end. I was going to say, do we have wild snakes? No. No, no, no. This is news to me. I thought we didn't have these. Zoos aren't even allowed snakes in New Zealand. Because we don't want them getting out. Because our birds are like dumpy and a lot of ground-based birds. And snakes would absolutely yum them up.

Yeah. So, but now I'm reading the story more and they've kind of, no one's saying, oh, yeah, no, it was dead on arrival. This pipe came in from overseas. Nothing to worry about. How long has the pipe been in there? Don't know. Because we did this literally the other day.

We had a little bit of work done, and we were doing the thing where you shove the water through the pipe to get to the other side of the thing and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, clear it out. Yeah. With a pulser. And I wouldn't have thought at any point during that process that Aaron and I were doing that, that a dead snake would come out.

So it was a python, right? Yes. It was huge. So not venomous. I mean huge, but at least it wasn't venomous, yeah, or poisonous. Yeah, and they called MPI immediately. They said we intercept one or two snakes a year, normally not venomous ones, and

most arrive dead due to the treatment of imported cargo, so it would kill the treatment that they put the stuff through would kill any snakes. Look at it, though. Like, that's It's massive. Huge. It's long enough. So, they haven't said, yeah, where'd

the pipes come from? Were they bought here? Dunno. Dunno. Weird. I don't know. But they said there's very small, minimal to no risk. Snakes aren't designed to survive in a cooler climate. And New Zealand does have a cooler climate. Apart from global warming.

Well, I was going to say, if there's not any reason to maybe take the bus today just to keep those emissions down. Yeah. How, I forgot what I was going to ask you. If it was carrying eggs, they said it would be a super small chance that those eggs could have survived.

Oh, okay. I was going to ask, how long, how badly was their drain blocked? This thing is huge. Yeah. I don't know. That would give you a good marker

of being like, God, these drains are just not draining. The house wastes. No, I think it was new. I think it was like putting new pipes down. But they flushed them out as a precaution. You would know this.

You would know that something was in your drains. You might not suspect it was a python. Who was the one who had to pull it out? Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. ZM's $50,000 secret sound.

Yeah, and you do look great in that money suit. I've got it on for you guys now. She's wearing a suit made entirely out of money.

Well, it's a money print. Oh, and you've got a money mask. Oh, money mask. That's so 2021. Yeah, so in exchange for some jackpot money 40 grand now Did you tie your own tie? No my friend did

I was going to say I don't know if I know I had to ask because not all of us went to a private school Hayley Oh really? That's all we all did No I have to get Vaughan to tie my ties for formal events

We went to public school shirts weren't even compulsory. Yeah. We wrapped around in like just whatever we could make a skirt out of and fought a lot for food. Well, very dapper. We welcome to Secret Sound. Sarah, good morning.

Good morning. $40,000 cash. $40,000. It's getting a bit ridiculous. Now, this is the secret sound. For $40,000, what is it, Sarah? I think that it's one of those paper trimmers or paper guillotines that you can get

and it has the blade on the ruler. Oh, yeah, the old school. Yeah, we used to have one at school with the old guillotine in the art room. Well, they used to bring them down like an actual guillotine, but now they've got that safety thing. Ugh, PC madness. Oh, it is.

It's like PC gone mad. You can't chop your finger off anymore if you're not paying attention. Yeah. What are we raising for the next generation? You wouldn't chop your finger off either. They would always have that blunt brown blade. Now, this is a common guess.

Would you say, wouldn't every secret sound somebody guesses a paper guillotine? Yeah, a lot of things sound like a guillotine. I'll say guillotine because I'm pronouncing it how it should be said. Okay. I always said guillotine until I realised

that it was ignorant. Soundkeeper owls. Why can't we hear soundkeeper owls? Oh. Oh, no. No, no. I think it was Twitch. Come on, intern.

Turn your mic on. Oh, it was Twitch. It was Twitch. Do not do that. Sarah, $40,000. Is it going to be yours? It's not, sorry. That is not the secret sound.

Sarah, it's not the secret sound, but you get $100 for guessing, though. Yeah. Oh, thank you so much. Well done. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. How long can you keep using the term New Year, New Me? It's gone. Our Chinese New Year's pretty recent.

Okay. Oh, that's good. And then is. Our Chinese New Year's pretty recent. Okay. Oh, that's good. Jump on that. And then, is Matariki New Year? That's the Māori New Year. Yeah, that's June. So, New Year, New You's pretty much all year round. Yeah.

Okay, well, I don't feel as bad now. I've been trying to go on a little bit of a kick because, I don't know, I've just, these longer hours, I'm not used to having six more hours in my day. And yes, I did used to get up at 10 a.m. Nice world. Yeah, and I'm a lot, it just, it stuffs with you. I'm hungry all the time. I mean, how often have I sat here and been like, should we get a brioche?

Should we get a slice today? When we first started, we got into a dangerous, what I call the dangerous bagel spiral. Yeah. Where at the end of every show, we'd walk and get a loaded bagel. And oh my God, like you don't even notice the KGs. Dense carbs, dense carbs. Oh my God, so much bread.

Well, as I mentioned, Marching Nationals is next week and we're a brand new team. We've got brand new uniforms, custom made, fit to our body. They are tight. They suck you in. And they're arriving this weekend.

Okay. And I got measured, I don't know, a couple of months ago. Oh, no. It's not going to be good. It is not going to be good. So much time. I've got one week. So I said to myself, I was like, look, just rein it in.

You know, I've been having too many wines after work just to relax. I've been having too many carbohydrates after coming off the keto diet. I've been going a bit crazy. But we've had the lockdowns as well, which wouldn't have helped. Didn't help at all. No, I mean, that's no excuse. I worked every day. Okay.

You know. So I said to myself on Monday, like, this is going to be a really, really good week. But then I forgot on Monday we do radio and then we go straight to the studio for having been paying attention. So I was like, well, I can't do Monday. Okay. The day's too busy. It's too busy.

I'm hungry. And they provide dinner for us and, you know, there's some wine there. So I thought, well, I won't do Monday. Okay. The day's too busy. It's too busy. I'm hungry. And they provide dinner for us. And, you know, there's some wine there. So I thought, well, I won't. Well, actually, Hayley, I saw you barely touch that salad and then polish off a bottle of wine. So I don't think we can say the meal provided is the problem. We can't blame the fact that a salad wasn't available, Hayley.

Someone was like, who's this half-eaten salad? And it's got Hayley written on the top. And she's like, I've got no idea. You haven't gone, is Hayley Holt still working? How wasteful. I feel seen in the worst way possible. Anyway, so yes, I came home from having been paying attention. We sat around afterwards.

We had a nice little hangout, didn't we? At a distance, of course. And then, so I thought Tuesday, yesterday, that was the day I was going to rein it in. And I had my little brekkie here. I drank my water, had my cup of tea. But then I had to run out and get errands. So I had a subway, which wasn't too bad, but it was pretty bready. And then I was like, you know what though, today,

no wine. And I got home into the fridge. I was like, great, there's groceries here. I was looking at the groceries and next thing I was pouring a wine, I was drinking it. Yeah. They always sneak up on you. It was 3.30 in the afternoon. I thought, why not?

I've made it this far. You've been up since 4. 4 a.m. Yeah. And those people get up at 6. So that's your fivesies. That's well down there. And so I thought, as I was drinking it, I thought, oh, whoops.

Whoopsie daisy doodle. And I thought, it's all right. You know, the day is still young. I'm allowed a lot young I'm allowed a wine I forgot that while I was out running my errands I also bought three new items of clothing

my wardrobe pole is about to snap so I caved there and then I was like well what am I going to make we've just got groceries delivered all these beautiful fresh produce

Nickman I'm on Uber Eats and I've ordered a curry and errands I had a big day I was building a fence at the moment and I said we'll get curry and I'm sorry a curry. Okay, right. And Aaron's had a big day's building a fence at the moment. And I said, well, we'll get curry. And I'm sorry, I know we're trying to be healthy, but we'll just go breadless. Okay. It turns out I ordered two naan breads.

With rice? Did you get the rice as well? Yes. Oh, okay. She's in a monster. So bread and curry. Rice, two curries, two naans and onion bhaji. I don't know how it happened.

And onion bhaji. Yeah. And then I hopped on and then I came up with my email, witchery, they've got a brand new exclusive limited edition line. I bought a $300 jumper. Yeah, when I wrote this morning,

she was like, I don't know what I've done. I don't know what I've done. I just bought a $300 jumper. You went from, I'm not shopping and eating bad this week or drinking.

We're building a fence this week. So it was very clear that we were like, that's where the money is going this week. But this jumper, it's got frills. You know, and I just panicked and I bought it. I was in a curry haze and I was a little bit drunk, you know, because I had the wine.

Yeah, right. And anyway, so I lasted, how long was that? So Tuesday, I reset the goal on Tuesday. So 6 a.m. I woke up, didn't drink wine then. Then I lasted till 3 p.m I lasted till 3pm. That's not good. That's not bad. Nine hours. Nine hours for a goal I was going to do for at least two weeks.

Yeah. Anyway. I was just I think in order to make me feel better I wanted to ask everyone listening. How hard did they go? When did they break and how hard? So you built a dam and the river was, you know, backed up.

But then when the dam burst, what villages got wiped out below it? Because you're not shopping village, you're eating well, not drinking village, just got decimated. Yeah. Okay, so you want to hear from people that have started maybe a healthy eating routine. Healthy eating or... And then they gave in, but then when they gave in and they broke,

they went big with the food. Yeah, they went... Okay. Hard. Or the shopping. Maybe you lasted a week or a day or two of no shopping and then you snapped. And at 9pm I made chocolate mud cake. It only takes a minute.

You put it in a mug, you microwave it, there it is. Oh, mug cake. I thought you said mud cake. I was like, I feel like a nine o'clock cake was made and there's no cake here. I'm not an animal. Okay, so 0800-DANZIDEN. We want to hear from you.

And you can text in as well, 9696. You can make Hayley feel better about those times when you decided you were going to set yourself a goal of no eating, no shopping, no whatever, and you broke. How big did you go when you broke? So Hayley's had a weak moment or several weak moments yesterday. And thank you for just allowing me the space to share it. I actually feel a lot better not keeping it a secret.

News to Aaron, though, the $300 jumper I bought. Sorry. He's messaged you now saying maybe we should talk about those kind of purchases next time. Yeah, good. He's messaged you now saying maybe we should talk about those kind of purchases next time. Yeah, good. That's a group discussion. So when have you decided

you're not going to go crazy shopping? You're not going to eat takeaways? You're going to be healthy. You're going to go for a walk every night. You're going to break

this restraint. Yeah, we want to know how long it took you to break and then when you broke, how big did you go? Yeah, how hard? Because you did even a chocolate pudding after. A curry, a chocolate pudding, a lot of shopping.

It was bad. It's a bad day. Some text messages. I need to set myself a goal to seriously save money and cut back on unnecessary spending. Even if I needed clothes, I bought secondhand clothes. I love secondhand shopping generally. Yeah, so they're doing great. Okay. Three days ago, I bought secondhand clothes. I love secondhand shopping generally. Yeah.

So they're doing great. Okay. Three days ago, I bought a horse. No. Because these are a bit cheap. And then the ongoing costs. Oh, it's ridiculous. Of horseyness.

Yeah. Your silly horse play. This person feels like a soul sister to me because that is so something I would do. Aaron would be like, what's that horse in the backyard? Excuse me, that's Princess Cloppity Clops. I'd be like, Aaron, he just looked me in the eye and I needed him. And he's like, I haven't built the fence yet.

We don't have a fence. Shona, what did you decide you weren't going to do? I'm a compulsive shopper. I maxed out my after pay and I thought, right, as soon as I get that paid off, we're talking like about $1,500, whoops. Okay. I was like, once I get that paid off, I'm not touching it. Well, I lasted about half a day once it was paid off and I maxed it out again.

But in my defense, I didn't buy a horse. There you go. Because afterpay is not like a credit card, is it? Like a credit card, you can cut it in half. Yeah, afterpay is a function that's always available to you, basically. Yeah, and if you've got post reward, no deposit. Do you know what, Shona? That's actually a saying I'm going to use for the rest of my life,

especially when I'm justifying purchases. Well, I didn't buy a horse. At least you didn't buy a horse. It's brilliant, Shona. Thanks forifying purchases. Well, I didn't buy a horse. At least you didn't buy a horse. It's brilliant. Shona, thanks for your call. Let's go to Natalie. Natalie. Hello.

What did you decide you were going to do? Well, my husband and I have been eating keto for quite a while. Okay. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Yep. And so lockdown this last week at home, working with the kids, you know,

trying to run everything in that respect. And I thought, oh, I'll just do a sneaky brioche. That'll be okay. And so baked that and gave most of it away. Ate a couple of pieces myself. And then by Saturday, it was handmade pasta for dinner. Oh, babe. Yes.

And they say, famously, they say of keto, if you're going to go off it, reintroduce, reintroduce, reintroduce. You go slow. Add a banana to your day. I mean, you went straight to brioche, babe. And straight to pasta.

I love it. Brilliant. Natalie, thanks for your call. Isaac, what did you decide you were going to quit? So I said no more day drink in the morning. Oh, okay. you decide you were going to quit? So I said no more bakery in the morning. Oh, okay. Are you a tradie, Isaac? Yeah, I'm a builder. Yeah, so it's hard because that's a tradie breakfast,

isn't it? Like an energy drink and a pie. It's a physical job. You'd be working it off during the day, wouldn't you? Yeah, usually. But I like to eat breakfast in the morning. I pack my lunch and I've gone to the bakery three times this week. Oh, man. So you've fallen quite hard, usually. But I like to eat just in the morning. I pack my lunch and I've gone to the bakery three times this week. Oh, man. So you've fallen quite hard, Isaac.

Oh, yeah, a little bit. The body wants a saucy roll, though. I went solid. Exactly. I went solid for two weeks. Real solid. And then I had to buy this one piece of ice to get my lunch. And it kind of just snowballed from there.

Oh, you did three weeks. So don't beat yourself up, though. You did really well. You did really well, okay? And if you want to do that again, you can do it, but don't feel pressured to. You be you. Life's short.

Well, that's very motivational from you, Paul. Thanks, Isaac. I'm a life coach now. Alice, what did you decide not to do? Well, I'm nesting at the moment, so I'm seven months pregnant, and I said once I've painted baby's room, that's it. No more renovations. That lasted about two days,

and then I took to our brick chimney with a chisel and a hammer. That sounds structurally... Yeah. My husband is not very happy with me. This is the time for you to put up your thing and eat what you want

and just relax before the baby arrives and you're chiselling down by hand, it sounds. Yeah, to make way for a freestanding fireplace, which will open up the rooms and it'll be really lovely. You're not eating the bricks though, are you? No, no, I'm not licking them either.

I don't have any weed cravings yet. Okay, good. At least you'd save on a skip though if you were eating all the bricks. No, no, I'm not looking them either. I don't have any weed cravings yet. Okay, good. No, that's good. If you're eating them, at least you'd save on a skip, though, if you were eating all the breads. Very true. My mum just messaged in, and she sent a picture of a jumper. She said, you bought this, didn't you?

She knew it instantly. I didn't even tell her. Wow. So some text messages. What did you quit, but then you fell hard when you relapsed? I was on a low-carb diet for two weeks and just about had enough and then absolutely blew out with a day that can only be described as a very carb heavy day from start to

end. It tasted amazing though, so no regrets. I said to the children, no more pets because we've got a 400 litre fish tank and two rabbits. And so the agreement was no more pets. A couple of weeks later I bought a puppy. Oopsie daisy.

Oh no. Oopsie daisy. Oopsie. Oopsie daisy. Somebody else was doing keto as well. Lots of messages about keto. It sounds hard.

Don't do it. It's a fair diet at the moment, isn't it? I mean, you were on it for a couple of weeks. Oh no, no. I've done it like years. Have you?

I've done it for years, yeah. And then I just have little breaks off it. Oh, right. Because it works for me hormonally. But honestly, it doesn't work for me mentally. I need a brioche every now and then. Yeah, brioche is a hurry.

And now that we're working here, famously, there's brioches everywhere. Oh, we're in absolute brioche central. Yeah, I go through months of being addicted to brioche. Oh, yeah. Buttery. It's delicious. You just tear it apart. There's something new in every fold and flap.

I love it. All right. She's not wrong. That's a girl describing a brioche. Salami. Onion. Cheese.

Pepperoni. Was it basil? Spinach was in that one yesterday. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. It's on the breeze.

You absolutely stitched her up. You stitched her up. You said your part and then you turn on the mics. He does this all the time. He'll say something wildly inappropriate and then turn on the mics, not giving us a chance for an off mic rebuttal I'm sorry But that song Was not for me

ZM You'd make love To that song If you're in your 60s I'm worried How Mar's fan She is going to be I'm worried

How sexually aroused My mother will be When she hears that song Oh god I don't think Your mother's aroused She loves herself Some Bruno

She absolutely does And that really had Some love making, don't tell me your mother's a rousel. She loves herself some Bruno. She absolutely does. And that really had some lovemaking to it, didn't it? All right, it's 22-8. Our interview with Meghan Markle, asterisk from five years ago, is coming up, six years ago. There's been a study about single people, particularly looking at involuntary singles.

So these are people who do not want to be single. They're desperately looking for a partner. They are swip, swap, swiping away, but finding it really hard. And the number one reason that they are finding it hard to find a lover, a mate, is they don't know how to flirt. They cannot flirt. It makes them uncomfortable. They don't have any moves and therefore they don't make their feelings known towards a potential suitor. Are you saying this is why I'm single all this time? Well, this is what, I mean, this is... My flirting game. It comes down to a number of things in this study, which is like, you know, maybe you're too choosy, which I think is stupid.

Everyone should be choosy. You're going to spend the rest of your life with this idiot. Be picky, yeah, definitely. You've got to be picky. But yeah, the number one thing is they've got no game And you are single With flirting Yeah

I don't really know Do you flirt? Not really Maybe that's right Maybe this is right So we're going to I'm going to Let's try this now

Vaughn, you're going to be the judge Okay We're going to put We're going to put Fletch to the test Oh no, I'm terrible at flirting We're going to pretend I haven't been on a date for 10 years either. But you're very friendly.

I am very friendly. What are you saying? What? I'm a pest. Hayley's a sex pest. She's on multiple registers. Yeah, her biggest concern. I am very friendly and touchy.

Yeah, which people... Do people misinterpret just being friendly as flirtatious? Not really. Right. No, I don't have people sort of going, mm, no thanks, I've got a partner or anything like that. Right, right, right. Okay.

Yeah. So we're going to put you to the test, Fletch. Let's pretend we're at a restaurant. Oh, okay. She's climbing. For a start, Fletch would never go here. I would never go here because it sounds ooh-la-la and expensive. Yeah, it is.

You're paying. Okay. Okay, Vaughan, you're going to be a fly on the wall at our first date, and I want you to see. Wait, so we're on this date. How did we meet? Tinder. Okay, and this is the first date?

We've had a few chats, but this is our first date. We're like, let's meet at a very fancy restaurant. Yeah, so we've just met. We've had an awkward chats, but this is our first date. We're like, let's meet at a very fancy restaurant. Yeah, so we've just met. We've had an awkward hug or kiss on the cheek. Okay. You've just pulled out my chair for me. So that's pretty good so far. I wouldn't have done that, but okay, great.

Okay, so we've sat down. Oh, God. This place is a bit fancy, isn't it? I know. Like, are we going halves? You're like, whoa. I'll just stop you there. I'll stop you there.

I haven't started the flirting yet. Exactly. You've done the opposite. You've repelled me. By saying, instantly going in, well, I'm not paying. Well, no, but it's important to set from the start, before you look at the menu, that I'm not paying for all of this. Just know that I've clocked it in my brain.

Okay. It's negative one for you. Let's just have a little look at the menu. Have you eaten here before? I haven't, no. Oh, wow. Should we get something to share or just do it individual? Well, I like individual

because sometimes there might be three of something on a plate. One of the other reasons he's single, his ability to compromise is zero like part of his existential relationship is compromise

so for example what have we got don't worry about what she's gonna eat no literally if we get three money bags

and she gets two I've only had one okay so we've established it's a Thai restaurant yeah I like how we're a fancy restaurant this is what Thai restaurants play by the way okay we've established it's a Thai restaurant. Yeah, I like how we're a fancy restaurant. This is what Thai restaurants play, by the way. Okay, we've ordered our food. Okay. But chat on this guy.

Well, no, because if there's three on a plate... Okay, anyway, so Fletch, tell me about what you do for a living. Oh, I work... I love this shirt by the way. Thank you. It's my finest T-shirt.

It's blue. I work on the radio. Oh, is that fun? That sounds fun. Yeah, no, it's fun, yeah. You're not asking any questions about me. Why are you asking her questions? She's asking me questions.

No, it's your turn to ask it back. It's called conversation. What do you do? This is your fourth try. What do you do? It's crazy. I actually work in radio at the moment as well. Oh.

How do I not know you? Oh, I don't know. I'm pretty new to it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, right. So tell me about your dating history. Who was your last girlfriend?

Well, it was a very, very, very long time ago. Thank God you said just your latest rather than a... Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Alarm bells. Have I not passed? He hasn't had a girlfriend in so many years. Oh, yeah. That's a red flag, isn't it?

Who do you live with? I live with my cat, actually. Handy's out. And it's a swing and a miss. And that's three strikes, baby. Flesh, fawn and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

Well, the Big bombshell interview Oprah with Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Viewed By millions of people Around the world New Zealanders

Got their first chance To watch it last night You watched half of it Yeah I watched a bit of it Before your bedtime Yeah I got a bit tired I watched it I faded out towards the end

As well But I heard what I needed to hear I like when they were in it With the chickens Oh yeah that was cute. But then I was like, she's like, this is your one takeaway.

I like the chickens. I like the part where they're in the chickens. Great little chicken enclosure. I love that Oprah turned up to their place in a hoodie. So whose place was it? So the place where they were doing the interview, where they were all very dressed up, that was a friend of Oprah's house.

Yes. That lived near them both, but had a good setting. Had a good setting for the interview. They actually addressed that. Is that the outdoors furniture they were on? Yes. Because that looked well-spaced and nice. Yeah, and the backdrop was just glorious.

But then they went to Harry and Meghan's house to have a look at the chooks and the dogs and stuff. And that's where the chickens are. Yeah, and Oprah, she was just in her jeans and her hoodie. I was like, good the chooks and the dogs and stuff. And that's where the chickens are. Yeah, and actually, like, Oprah, she was just in her jeans and her hoodie. I was like, good on you, girl.

She's a billionaire. She can wear what she likes. She can turn up in a paper bag. When they first went to the States in that interview, one of the weirdest parts was they stayed at Tyler Perry's house. Yeah.

The guy that does Madea. Yeah. Massive figure in the entertainment industry. Huge dude. He does the character where he dresses up like an old lady. Yeah. Like, basically, an entertainment industry. Huge dude. He does the character. He dresses up like an old lady. Yeah.

Like basically an American Mrs. Brown's boys. Okay. Yeah. And she's like, oh, yeah, he reached out and said we could stay at his house because we didn't have a place to stay. And there was this mansion that he wasn't using that he's like, oh, you can stay. And you can have my security as well. Yeah, that's right.

And he provided security for you. Well, the royal family have released a statement after the TV show. It's short, it's sharp, it's to the point, but it's perfectly vague. The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. What a line to use in any kind of statement. Well, you remember it this way.

We remember it this way. May vary. Like, basically, I don't believe what they're saying. It's lies. I think in terms of, at the end they say, Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members. I just want to point out again, they don't mention the new baby in her womb.

But I think this is a very well-thought-out response because it does come across at face value like they're very concerned. And they couldn't not be based on the interview where Meghan Markle shared some pretty intense mental health struggles during that time. But to say they were surprised about those struggles?

No. That's basically what they were saying. We were surprised to learn the extent? Saddened to learn. Saddened. But yeah, as in they didn't know. Whereas Meghan in the interview did make it pretty clear that she was vocal about it. Yeah, like trying to ask for help.

She was trying to ask for help from within the, she went to like HR within the royal family. Which again was amazing that the royal family, the firm has an HR department. You've met Prince Philip though, so you know why they're in HR. Yeah. You've not met him. You've heard of him.

Do you know at one point in the interview, she mentions Andrew's name and just like breezes over it. Prince Andrew. Yes. She was like, they were talking about the first time she ever met the queen. And she was like, oh, it was just pretty normal. We were at the house and, you know, like Fergie was there and Eugenie Beatrice Andrew.

Eugenie Beatrice, like Andrew. And then I was like. And then she just like brushed over like we're just hanging out with old Unky Andy. So Meghan Markle before Prince Harry, she was married to a guy, they tied the knot in 2011 when Meghan Markle was 30 and they divorced in 2013. So we spoke to Meghan Markle in 2015. Yes.

So that would have meant that when she was honeymooning in a camper van around New Zealand. Would have been like 2011, 2012? 2012. Yeah. Can I just point out her ex-husband, Trevor Ingleson, has a hairy look about him. Yeah, he does have a hairy vibe to him.

Hey, we all have a type. Mine's Jason Momoa. But you're married to? A Jason Momoa lookalike. Yeah, right. Okay, Greg Rover from Nova. Well, we spoke to Megan Markle.oa lookalike. Yeah, right. Okay. Greg Grover from Nova. Well, we spoke to Megan Markle. We thought we'd dig out this interview from 2015. Because it seems like that's what everybody's doing, right?

Well, yeah. Everyone's dragging up the past. Yeah, yeah. So we're like, well, we've got some past we can drag up, but it's like nice. But this was a story she told us about her honeymoon when they were campervanning around New Zealand. What happened at a campground?

When I was in Akaroa, when we got into the campsite, I went, you know, they have, like, really nice, like, areas to go and take a shower or whatever else, and I'm washing my hair and I hear something, and I open the shower curtain and there's this 13-year-old boy who had crawled under the stall and was trying to steal my underwear. I got a towel and shampooing my hair and I'm like, where is your mother? And I found his parents were mortified, of course.

And to this day, I go, oh, my God, that kid sitting at home going, oh, my, that's the girl from Suits. I saw her naked. I'm my, that's the girl from Suits. I saw her naked. I'm like, that's just terrible. How long ago would this have been? This was just three years ago, three or four years ago. So he's like 16 now. He's sitting down to watch Suits. He's like, she looks really familiar.

If there was only a bit of a dip. She looks really familiar. I tried to steal her panties. Yeah, so if that kid's listening to this, I will say, hello, my friend. I hope you're better behaved these days. Unbelievable. You know what?

Being that New Zealand is small and word gets around, I bet we could track him down before the end of the show. Oh, easily. Easily done. And if we do, we'll get him to write an apology note and we'll tweet you the apology note, all right? Oh, please do. I would be tickled pink to see that.

So that was in 2015 and that would mean that kid who was 13 at the time would now be 22? 22, 23. So you didn't find him? Never found him. No. So his parents never said anything. He never said anything. So what year was he talking about?

At the time, he would have not known that was Megan. I mean, unless he's in prison. And she was a 12-year-old stealing woman's underpants. He may very well be in the clink. So if she was hanging out, she was in 2013. This was 2013 this event happened. Yeah. If you were in Akaroa in 2013 on holiday

and you were just a young naive kid, don't be ashamed now. We all got a past, but call us. I mean, you could probably, to be honest, in the current tabloid climate, you could probably make some cash

selling that story to a tabloid magazine. I tried to steal Her Royal Highness, the Duke of Sussex. She's there, Sussex. Yeah, the Duchess. Duchess of Sussex's...

Undies. Panties. Panties, she said. She's quoting. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM's $50,000 secret sound. Tell me what the secret sound is. ZM's $50,000 secret sound.

It's all thanks to Star, streaming now on Disney+, including more originals like Solar Opposites. You can learn more at DisneyPlus.com. Soundkeeper Owls is in. Hello. She is the one that knows the sound. I do. We don't, where the rest of us don't know the sound.

And I like it that way. I'm not burdened. Yeah, I don't want the burden. No, and I'm not open to bribery. No, neither. Because I could easily be. I am. Yeah.

Kelly joins us. Good morning, Kelly. Good morning, guys. All right, so the jackpot was yesterday it's now forty thousand dollars and that cash is all yours if you can tell us what this secret sound is yeah kelly here i think it might be trying to start a chainsaw. Start a chainsaw?

So not the process of the chainsaw? Yeah, so pulling the cord down to start the chainsaw. Now, how does that work with the clothes? Well, you need your hand, obviously, to start it. And, you know, if you can't start it, it might be stuck. So stuck in level three. In the Titanic one, the chain. And like in one of the video clues, there's trees behind the sheriff. So, yeah.

You've put some flowers. I really appreciate that. Okay, wow, wow. $40,000. Is it a chainsaw starting? Kelly. Yes, Al. I can tell you that that is not the secret sound.

Oh, Kelly. Hey, but you get $100 for a wrong guess. Yeah, that's pretty good too. Just as good as $40,000, isn't it? Just as good. Hey, and back to the drawing board. Another shot coming up at 11. We'll give you chances right throughout the day.

11, 1, 4, and 5. Don't forget, of course, on Instagram as well, ZMSecretSound, for all of the guesses that we've had that are wrong and all of the clues as well. Why don't you give me a clue? Oh, okay. It's clue time. Is it clue time?

Yep. I'm very excited. Fletch. Fletch, on your computer. I don't know. I don't have a clue. Well, you might. On your computer,

where you play the secret sound, there's a button. Yes. Now, what's the button called? It's called The Sound Dash ZM Secret Sound 2021 Part 1. There you go.

It's 0.018 seconds long. How long is the normal secret sound 2021 part one. And it's 0.018 seconds long. How long is the normal secret sound? What do you mean? How long's all of the sound? Oh, well, I don't know. That would be a clue, wouldn't it? No, no, no. So that's the length of the one you usually play that.

Yeah. We've all become familiar with. 0.18. So it's, yeah. Okay. Not even a second long. No, no.18. So it's, yeah. Okay. Not even a second long. No, no. No.

But yeah, part one. That's the clue. Part one. Mm-hmm. I'm not going to say anything else. Sit on it. Wait, is this a tease for a clue later or that is the clue?

Oh, yeah. I think that's a, oh, yes. I should explain. Part one. There's more to come, obviously. Well, yeah, that's what I want to indicate. Sorry, I should make that clear.

Yeah, okay, yeah. This is killing me. They always say part one, unless the movie's really, really bad, then it doesn't get a follow-up. Yeah. Oh, you know when you see a movie and they leave it open-ended? Oh, I like that because then I make a happy ending in my mind. Oh, that's sweet, isn't it?

So I know we expect that from you know we've done that in the past. We've released extended versions of the sound. So maybe that's happening. Who knows? Tune in to this afternoon. In the afternoon. That's it. I'm going to go now.

Tune in in the afternoon. Bye. You need a coffee. I'm a very emotional human being. I'm a sensitive wee soul. And yesterday, that side of me really came out. Aaron had had, my partner Aaron, had had a really big day. He's building a new fence for us with his friends.

I thought you were going to say with his arms. With his hands and arms. Do his friends know how to build a fence? Are they actual proper? One of his friends is like a registered Mr. Fix-It guy. That's an official organisation. You said registered master builder there, but you said registered Mr. Fix-It.

We're not made of money, mate. It'll do. It'll keep the dogs out and the cat in. But anyway, so I got home and I had my little binge fest that we talked about before. But I was also really emotional. So I was driving home and I got caught in traffic because I'd been out a little bit.

And I thought, you know, I've not spoken to my dad in too long. I'm very close with my parents. I usually call them all the time. But I've just been busy. And as I was talking to him, I just cried because I was like, I'm a terrible daughter. Oh, my God, that's what I hope for. You know that feeling when you're like, you're just yawning

and you just remember how much you love your dad or your mum. And then so I hung up and I just cried because I was like, I love my parents so much. Did he say something that set you off? No. We were just chatting. It's been a while. Shooting the breeze.

Wow, okay. So I had a cry and then I got home and I told Aaron how I'd just been speaking to mum and dad and as I told him that I just started crying again. Okay. So that was a bit weird. And then my cat, my cat's been in a cattery, so this is two cries. My cat's been in a cattery for about a month

when we were moving house and he's come back and he's had a really traumatic time. We've had a few tradies in our house. Yeah. He's been under the bed just having a really hard time and he came out and he just poked his little head around the corner was like oh my god and he was really clingy and he came up and he sat on my chest and i just held him and i wept and i thought oh wow this is just i'm just like an emotional tap yeah i thought i'd pull it together i was like come on you've got stuff to do there's wine in the fridge to drink as we got into earlier.

And then Aaron had left the dishwasher door down a little bit. He'd obviously got something out and then just forgot to close it behind him. Sorry, that came out and I'm not sure where that was from. But as I was trying to get into the kitchen, I just lightly scraped my shin on it.

Oh, there's nothing worse than a shin. Like, I've got a coffee table that is at shin height. It gouged me once. It's the worst. And I think because I was on that emotional brink, the cat, my parents' thoughts of like, I'm a terrible daughter. I haven't spoken to my parents for too long.

When I say too long, it was like days but we usually we're daily speakers um I I flooded into tears because of the dishwasher yeah I just went like just everything anger and then I went I've had enough I don't know how because when there's these hours you get quite tired yeah and then there's this danger zone in the afternoon if you're full of sleep, if you have a nap too late in the day, you don't get to sleep at night and then your sleep pattern's all messed up. And I'm not saying it's like the hardest job in the world. Don't confuse it with that because it's not.

But the hours sometimes just get in your brain. And sometimes I need to cry. And I don't know, Fletch, because you don't. I don't know how you don't Because like the other day I was watching It was during lockdown So the girls had school And they had to do a pepeha

Like the introduction And I asked Stacey Morrison For some advice To help Indie What she put in And she sent me this link Saying if you don't quite understand The whole spiritual connection of it

Watch this And it was the video on Was it Maori TV? Or Te Karare the whole spiritual connection of it. Watch this. And it was the video on, was it Maori TV or Takara Day? A chat with Hugh Jackman and the lady from New Zealand who starred in Greatest Showman. The bearded lady. And they do the,

I was an absolute wreck. I was tired. You sent it to the group chat and you're like, I'm just... Why is it a mess? Because it got me. I was like, look at her connection to her people and this is the most beautiful thing. I was like, what did my Irish ancestors

do? Nothing! And then I, yeah, the girls and my daughters were like, wow, that was cool. And then they looked at me and they're like, what's wrong with you? I was like, I don't know. We were like, oh, that's really lovely, but we looked at me and they're like, what's wrong with you? I was like, I don't know. Because this is the group chat where we're like, oh, that's really lovely. But we're not like crying. I can't believe how long we've been doing Breakfast Radio for like seven years.

And you don't just every now and then need a tactical cry. It's a vent. It's a vent. Because if you don't vent, you have an explosion. It's that episode of The Simpsons where Homer doesn't vent the system. And there's going to be an explosion. That's basically how tired people Simpsons where Homer doesn't vent the system and there's going to be an explosion. That's basically how tired people's emotions work. It turns into a tumour.

Yeah, and that's what we want to ask. You're not going to be riddled. That's what we want to ask you this morning is when did it all just build up and you just had to have a little cry over something really tiny? Yeah, it's the compacting of all these things. You know, I was like a little weep, a little weep, a little weep, and then the thing that got me was that dishwasher. The world crumbled and I crumbled.

So we don't want to hear about those times when it was something big that, you know, would normally make you cry. Just something that like just got you. And you just all this built up emotion and you just cried over this one little thing. Just then I could genuinely have a little cry. And just speaking about crying, I just had a little moment to myself and I just went, this one little thing. Just then, I could genuinely have a little cry. And just speaking about crying, I just had a little moment to myself and I just went, I could weep. Maybe I will.

Maybe when you guys call us and tell us what you cried about, I will relay on such a deep level because I'm so tired. I shall weep and I am not afraid to cry. I can't watch an animated movie without crying now. Oh my gosh. I think I should be crying now. I watched Raya and the Last Dragon

at the weekend and I was like well now's when I cry and then I just my eyes start leaking we want to know that one little thing that made you cry

that set you off the score that broke the camel's back just something that you I got it good and we're hearing from lots of people

who are like yas to the to the tactical cry. It was the dishwasher against the shin that got you. I was weepy. It was a weepy afternoon. And you could feel Aaron, my partner, wanting to be like, are you?

And I was like, don't you dare. Is it? Is it? Is it that? Do I need to take a little pop out to the supermarket? But no, it wasn't. I was just weepy and tired. And then, yeah, banged my leg on the dishwasher and wept.

Okay, Tasha, what minor thing made you cry? What set you off? Okay, so I could not, I cannot do shoelaces. And this is hype going for Converse. So I bought a brand new Converse and I was going to go on a date. I sit down at the door, put on my fricking shoelaces and I started crying.

Oh no, no. They're hard to do. I get that. And they're not the kind of shoelaces or shoes that you can do up or have someone do up for you and then slip them on and off. No, no, no, no, no.

Because you need to take all the laces. You peel them out. It's a lacing thing. Yeah. Wow, okay. So I'm a nurse by profession, so I had a 60-hour shift. I was super naked. But then I did go on the date without the shoelaces,

and the guy looked at me, and he's like, your shoes are not done. And I'm like, I know. I can't do them. So he sat down and literally did my shoes. So that was really quick. Are you married to him now? No, no.

Not even dating him. I love that you're a nurse who's done a 60-hour shift where you're like, I know I'm tired as well. I did three hours of radio. And I'm so exhausted. God, I had to listen to all the songs played. I've established a routine where I do the same thing every day. I don't have to do shift work.

Me and Tasha were in the same boat. Tasha, thank you for your call. You're a hero. Davey, what minor thing set you off and made you cry? It was a cow. Oh, okay. What happened? No, she jumped over the reel.

It was the middle of carving, gone down to get the third herd out the paddock, and she just jumped over the reel into the next break, took the whole reel with her, and I just broke down and ugly cried. I'm a bit teary now thinking about it. So the fence reel, you had a temporary fence up, and she pushed through and ran, and it pulls the fence down, and it might break the reel. Yeah, and all the rest of the cows who were already going out the paddock

just went, oh, yay, food, and ran back. Oh, Davey. That is a bad day. I've got a picture of you in my mind just in your gumboots in the middle of the paddock having a cry. I just broke down. I was the worst thing ever. Davey, I once went over a fence reel on a motorbike.

I just, like, standed it down, but it got wrapped around the back wheel of the motorbike. I just like standed it down, but it got wrapped around the back wheel of the motorbike. Oh, no, I've done that as well. I sat down under the back of the motorbike and had like a little rest because I felt like if I tried to undo it, I was going to burst into tears. Hey, just a wild suggestion, but you guys should be mates. We should be. Oh, I've always thought that as well.

A group where rural people get together and have a cry. You know all those community halls? Yes, it's that tactical cry. All those community halls are sitting in rural New Zealand doing nothing. I say, first Tuesday of the month, we meet down there and we all have a bloody cry and a hug. Yes, oh, yes. Everybody welcome.

Davey, get it started. Get it started. Davey, thanks for your call. Georgia, what little thing set you off and made you cry? It was chocolate milk. Oh, why? It had been one of those weeks, and I just asked my boyfriend for a sip of chocolate milk,

and he rejected me, and I just had an absolute meltdown. If we can go back further in the story, did he offer to get you your own chocolate milk at some stage and you said no? No, possibly. Yeah, there it is. So if I don't want any fries, I'll just have all of yours. Yeah, I'm not usually a chocolate milk drinker at all,

but just that one sip was needed to see if I should be and he said no and I just had an absolute meltdown. Get him out. Georgia, thanks. You called some text messages. Someone said a customer stayed three minutes past closing time. They did get a warning that we were closing soon. I wasn't in the mood. It was that

time of the month and they turned around and saw me at the checkout just crying. Uncontrollably bawling. And also, when you're working in retail and someone's in there over closing you turn the music off so they would have heard you too yeah yeah there'll be no sort of little background music it'll just be you going yeah um do you need any other sizes in there or are you all right i could go and check out the back if you want i uh someone else said i had been sick and i'd felt sick i had a long week um and i just couldn't get off the man you want. Somebody else said I had been sick and I'd felt sick.

I had a long week and I just couldn't get off the couch. I ended up getting off the couch to feed my dog an hour and a half later than usual. And the dog was looking at me and I just felt like the most horrible puppy mom ever. He would have been so hungry. And that was it. I just burst into tears and I hugged him. I said, I'm so sorry for you. I once burst into tears while watching George Clark's Amazing Spaces.

Now, as a man that also feels a lot of emotion every time George Clark is speaking in that soft Welsh accent about architecture, design, great use of resources. Goes and visits some family that's built a tiny house on a tractor. Yeah. It used to be a tractor. And now it's this family falls comfortable in roomy small home. Oh, that looks good. Something about his genuine enthusiasm and unbridled joy over somebody's converted back shed really got to me after a stressful day.

Do you reckon he's ever standing in someone's back shed and he just has a breakdown? He's like, this is my life. Probably. And it's all just an act. I tell you what, there's no better place for a cry than a shed. Yeah. Get in there, shut it. Great reverberation has a breakdown. He's like, this is my life. Probably. And it's all just an act. I tell you what, there's no better place for a cry than a shed. Yeah. Get in there, shut it. Great reverberation on the cry.

Someone said, I have been known to cry listening to the long weekend group toot. Oh, it's an emotional time. It's an emotional time. Both of them will get the toot and everyone is happy. And then when no one toots and everybody is sad. It's like the community came together. Yeah. The team of five million This is why

Davy and Vaughn's Rural cry groups Are going to take off Get down to that local Hall that was built After World War 2 And have a good ball With the lads down the road

Fletch, Vaughn and Megan The podcast ZM Fact of the day Day, day, day, day, day, day. Today, March 10, happy birthday to Jon Hamm. Oh, the actor. Yeah, I like him. I like Jon Hamm a lot.

50 years old today. Mad men, and he does heaps of little comedy appearances. His comedic timing is. Yep. He's been in so many little cool shows. Bridesmaids. He's so good in Bridesmaids. 30 Rock.

When he popped up in 30 Rock. He's done a bit of Cooper Enthusiasm. Yep. He was on Kimmy Smith. The first season of that, which was great. He turns 50 years old today. He seems like a nice guy too. I hope he is.

And he's getting hotter with age. Yeah, I hope he is too. Is he married? He was married. No, he's not. Yes. Well, let's not forget you almost are. There's always that thing for some reason when you think about a celebrity that you find attractive

and you Google them and they're married, you're a little bit like, as if you were going to be. Yeah, you stood a chance. With a shot. Well, that's the only thing standing in the way of me and John Hamm. Oh, yeah, Jennifer Westfield. No, but they broke up in 2015. Oh, okay, good.

Today's also World Mario Day, where the world celebrates Mario. But today's fact of the day, it is one year today since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. One year ago. One year ago. What a year. Oh, so this is well after. I just looked you in the eyes

and you were just like, please, no. So this is after, obviously, it had popped up and it was growing. Yes. And then it started to go international. Yeah.

And then they went, oh, we're spying. Yeah. So in the last 14 days, there's been 400,000 total new cases, which is on the lesser end of the more extensive 14 days cases. Yeah. If we're looking at vaccines around the world, this is just, by the way,

that's today's fact. I'm going to just hit you with the latest facts. Okay. So vaccines, there's been over 5 million total doses of vaccine given in the last 14 days. Oh, that's amazing. Good news as well, because you know New Zealand's committed to, and I think today the government's announcing the order, which is going to cause some debate.

It's going to be a lot. The order of vaccination. Alphabetical. A match of awards. Alphabetical. Either way, I'm going to be in the last quarter of the year. What if your name's Zebra Zulu? You've got no hope. I'd say, I'm critical. Either way, I'm going to be in the last quarter of the year. What if your name's Zebra Zulu? You've got no hope.

Well, Zebra Zulu. I'd say, I'd say. Do you know Zebra? Yeah. It's actually pronounced Zebra. Zebra.

Zebra Zulu. So, the government today are going to announce that, but the real life, like, data that's coming in from the UK

and Israel on the Pfizer vaccine is really good. After two shots, it's like 93, 95%. Wow, that's pretty awesome. Which is fantastic, yeah. I can't wait to get it, but I'm happy to wait, to be honest. I think there are people. There's some older people go, the sports stars, the all blacks, black caps, that kind of thing, yeah.

If you do want some positive numbers, total worldwide cases is 117 million. I don't know if that's positive. However, no, this is by comparison, because total worldwide doses of the vaccine given over double that at 312 million. Right. So, vaccinations. 117 million in total or active right now? No, have had it in total.

How many active? 117 million. Well, in the new cases in the last 14. How many active? 117 million. Well, in the new cases in the last 14 days, worldwide, 5.2 million. Oh, yeah. In the last 14 days. This is sad. This is not a happy stat.

It's now 2.6 million confirmed COVID deaths. And there might be more that they have yet attributed to it. The United States is still the world leader. I'd hate to be one of those people that said, don't worry about it. It's just world leader. I'd hate to be one of those people that said, don't worry about it, it's just a flow. Yeah. I'd hate to be one of those people, full stop. Like what, those who have been those that passed away?

Of the 2.6 million, yeah, the United States has the biggest death toll at 525,000. Brazil is second to that with 266. So those aren't great stats. But then, you know, maybe now that I'm reading these, what's happened?

Well, no, I've just, I'm going to eat this pear. What? You looked at me and gave me this intense look like you had someone to add, and it's not even at all related. When we finish fact that I'm eating this pear, but look at this giant hole in there. I'm worried there could be a small European boy in there.

Yeah, that's quite big. And it's very hollow indeed. Called James. Sorry, Vorty, you're doing your bit. James and the giant pear. He was in a peach. Something's gone into this pear. Well, if he's a European boy, I'm looking at this,

you might want to isolate that pear. Oh, no. Do you want this knife? Yes, please. Carry on, Vorty. He's COVID. It's just peanut butter on the end. He's from an area that's got a lot of COVID. Anyway, today's fact of the day is it is one year today

since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Happy anniversary, everyone. No James in my peer. Oh, thank the bank. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There is a scam that we've been warned about as New Zealanders. It's called the One Ring Scam. Tell me more about this because I think I've had this.

Oh, no, I had this. So my friend Frodo on his uncle's 111th birthday, it turns out he inherited this one ring. Right. One ring to rule them? Yeah, and he was like, this is pretty, and he put it on and it disappeared. Yeah. Long story short, we had to throw in a volcano.

Oh, my God. And the journey to get there, I tell you what. It was a long time. And then afterwards, we flew back on these eagles, and we were all like, could we not have taken the eagles? At first, yeah, right. To the volcano? And that's the end of my story.

So no, that's not the one ring scam. The one ring scam is where you will get a call on your mobile phone and they will hang up after it rings once. Now, I received this on Monday. It was like Monday afternoon. Yeah. My phone just rang once and it stopped. And I was like, that's weird.

Because, you know, you're like, who's ringing? Yes. And when it's an unknown number or a number I don't know, I'm very hesitant to answer. Because it's just going to be a problem, isn't it? If it's not a friend. Yeah, it's always going to be someone wanting money. No, I answer.

And if it is a problem, I make it their problem. Oh, you're right. It's my to be someone wanting money. No, I answer, and if it is a problem, I make it their problem. Oh, you're right. It's my advice to everyone. I just hang up if I do answer it, and it's not worth it. So the call that I've got, and I've had one of these exact calls because one of the places that, because it registers where the number's from, plus 266, Lesotho. Now that's the landlocked. Lesotho. L-E-S-O-T-H-O

L-E-S-O-T-H-O L-E-S-O-T-H-O Is that in Africa? Isn't it? In the middle of South Africa? South Africa goes all around it. It's like landlocked in the middle. So there are a few places

that you can get random calls from and this is one of them. I have had this. Yeah. And the number is like plus one, nine, four, four, three, and it's like heaps, and it rings just once. And it will say like from blah, blah, blah.

So you might be thinking, what is the scam in that? Well, there are people that are not like you, Hayley, or myself, and people call this number back. But you always Google a number before you call it back. I don't know if it's like, if it's a Kiwi number, it's like 09 or 04 or whatever. I'm always Google a number before you call it back. Well, no, not if... I don't if it's like an... If it's a Kiwi number, it's like 09 or 04 or whatever. I'm always like,

wonder who this could be. But this did happen the other day. An 04 number, Wellington, called me. And I was like, hello, Hayley speaking. And they said, this is the New York Times. And I was like, what?

That was me trying to do a New York accent. This is the New York Times. We won't be giving you any money. And I was like, I don't know what's happening. So it was obviously some kind of scam thing. And they're like, can we talk to you? But there weren't any money. And do you just hang up?

I was like, I'm busy. Right. So apparently when you ring this number back, that's a scam is because it costs lots of money. Oh, so you get curious. It's like calling like a premium line, like a 0900 line for your horoscope or something. And they try to keep you on the line for as long as possible.

Because I tried to do, you know, the one where they text you saying you've got something at customs. Yeah, you've got to pay $5. You've got to pay $5 to get it. Yeah. And then you go, you click the link because I was waiting for something from Australia. So I was like, here you go. Click the link, put in your credit card details. And as soon as it happens, I was like, oh, hang on.

I've been scammed. So I cancelled all my credit cards and stuff. And then I thought I'll just ring the number. Yeah. And I rung that number back and it just went straight to an answer phone. And so I got all weird on it. And I did, do you remember the Zodiac who was like. The Zodiac killer.

Zodiac killer. Yeah. Hello. Into the phone. I did that. It was so weird because I was like, if someone is going to scam me and this is a real number. They deserve this.

Should we call this number from work? Yes, yes, yes. Let's do it from work. We're not paying. Anna's shaking her head. Anna, producer, Anna, why don't you want to call this number? I've just sent you the number.

I'm very scared. What was it like yesterday when you were scared to say what night? Don't you be scared. Okay, on the record, I'm scared, but I'm dialing. Yes. Yes, good. Okay, and then I'll pick it up when you, because I can't dial from in here.

What are we going to say? Are you going to do a... No, I just want to, I'm really curious as to see what happens. All right, we're calling Lesotho. It's a long number and there's a plus there. Are you trying on line one? Here we go.

Oh, that's aggressive. Is it broken? No, that's how their ring works. No! Boo! Did that just cost $100 for that? Try again Yeah go again

I feel like someone should have at least answered One more We'll all chip in No That's engaged That's engaged now What kind of scam is that? We want to give them money

If they're listening We're trying to give you money Take our money. Unbelievable. Apparently, that's all it takes. So don't. Don't call back.

We just did it for you to show that's how easy it is for the scammers to make money out of you. Disappointing. You can't even have a go with them either.

I know. I wanted to have some banter with them. Yeah, I wanted to have a little banter. Yeah. What do you want? And then pretend

that we're the police and see if they freaked out. Yeah, yeah. We're at your front door. It was a bit aggressive. And then just hopefully someone's dropping off a parcel at the same time. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. While earning six figures sounds cushy, cush, cush, cush,

you don't need it to be happy. According to a new study, People in communities, in fact, where there is little cash, are said to be more content than rich societies. Yeah, no. Now, that's because there's not that comparing yourself to the neighbour. Maybe. Well, this talks about more. Everybody earned the same amount and spent it the same.

And I'm like, the areas with little. Like when we went to Cambodia with World Vision, we went to some very poverty stricken areas. Those kids were as happy as Lowry. I know. Yeah. And you see that. They were running around.

They were like, it's a rat. And then they chased a rat with a stick. And they were all like, yeah. In this study, it's the simpler things. Community is the big one here. I get that. In places where things are less monetised,

they have a general sense of more happiness, more equality, simpler, a simpler life, basically. And yeah, being surrounded by

everyone sort of more on an even playing field as opposed to like other societies where there's like huge riches and lots of companies and monetization of everything. But still, if you had $24 million

and you weren't happy and you just won Lotto, you'd be a lot happier. I always think this. Surely. No, you know what? You're right. You just need a good partner by your side and family and friends and food.

And like some nice clothes as well. And like they're like, and like some nice clothes. As well. And like a spa pool. I'm part of communities, like community shopping groups. I do some activities. Yeah. But there you go. You don't need money. You just need to live

simpler within a community. Stop trying to money. It's about lifestyle. They've said things here like fishing activities. But not on a commercial yacht. What are you going to fish with your hands? You've got to buy the rod.

If I turn up with a Shimano, Fletch is going to be like, well, I need a Shimano. And I won't be happy. Turn into a measuring contest. This is exactly what you said before. No, rich Western countries are plagued with high levels of depression, partly due to money-fueling envy.

Yeah, because Vaughan's got a bigger fishing rod than me. Yeah, I've got a big old surfcaster. And I flopped it out at the beach and he's just bought his boat rod. That's not going to get over those breakers. Joke's on Vaughan because I just got a potato cannon so that I can potato gun my fishing line. Well, I've got a fishing drone and one of those things on the ads that scoots out like a submarine.

Look how unhappy you both are right now. I've got 80 fish. That's too much fish for me to eat. I just bought a fishing trawler. I'm going to dredge the bottom of the ocean. I'm going to plunder the world and we'll see who gets... We'll see who wins commercialism.
