Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe by 5 McCafe Coffees. Get one free on the Maccas app. Today's show, from New Plymouth, my hometown. And you've loved it here, haven't you? I can't speak highly enough of it. Sorry, that's I can't speak highly of it. It's a terrible place.

You know, there's a fair bit of ribbing between the Waikato and the Taranaki region competing for that coveted crown of New Zealand's best dairy farmers. And I jest, my father is a dairy farmer and he takes wonderful care of his waterways, just like that guy on the Fonterra ad. Yeah, he's got good waterways, your dad. I've always said that. Fenced. Fenced, planted out. You know, he's doing his part. He cares.

He's doing his part. He's reduced his nitrate. Oh, has he? His nitrate fertilizer. I think so. That's what I'll say anyway. Does your dad ever get the plane to come on the farm with the fertilizer and the wings? Yeah, prop dresser.

That would be so much fun. Nah, because his farm's flat and accessible, so he gets the truck on. Oh, so they only- The Whelan's truck. Right. They only do that with farms like High Country or something, or like in the middle of nowhere farms. Yeah, or they're too hilly and hard to get a truck safely on, because the trucks are

very heavy loaded up with that much fertilizer. But both of my grandparents' farms had crop dusters. Crop dusters? Crop dressers. Top dressing. Top dressing, crop dusting. That's two different things. What's the difference?

One is Isn't one of them like going over That was gross by the way That burp was fucking gross That coffee just got me And I was like I don't know what to do You were gonna show

I absolutely apologise listeners Unreservedly Disgusting burp I think crop dusting was You flew over like corn And dropped like Something that would kill All the bugs that would eat corn That's crop dressing And top No Crop dusting was you flew over like corn and dropped like something that would kill all the bugs that would eat corn.

That's crop dressing. And top, no, crop dusting. Top dressing is fertilizing. That's my guess. Both done in planes. Both. Oh, what are you doing? Top dressing and what's the other one?

Top dressing versus crop dusting. Crop. Crop topping? No. Crop top. That's not a crop top. Crop topping? No. Crop top. That's not a crop top. Crop tops where you wear a sort of a sports bra. Top dressing and side dressing.

What's side dressing? I don't know what that is. That's where you don't want the aioli all over the scissors. Is it something that we only call that in New Zealand? Top dressing. Crop dusting. Aerial top dressing Yeah

Aerial top dressing Aircraft Yeah And Crop dressing There are two main ways To apply fertiliser to pasta For cattle and sheep

Or crops Aerial top dressing Yeah Hang on now I've got to click on the Fucking link don't I Yeah that's Oh that's

Oh my god look at this guy Before World War 2 He's having to Take a bag up the hill Do you know And sprinkle the dust There was this stuff That killed people, DDT or something. It was like this...

Right. You know whenever they find an old fertiliser plant and they're like, oh, we've done the soil test and there's DDT? Yeah. Wasn't there something around New Plymouth on that? I'm unsure. My grandad's got photos of when he bought his farm in the 70s, just walking around throwing that stuff, no mask on, no gloves on.

He's dead now. Well, no, there was the factory in New Plymouth made Agent Orange for the Vietnam War. Did it really? And it gave people that lived around it. Burns and birth defects. No, just birth defects. Oh my God.

Have a baby and have four legs. Yeah. Aerial top dressing. Small aircraft and helicopters fly back and forth across hilly farmland, dropping fertilizer. Right. And then ground spreading as trucks or tractors. So top dressing and that's fertilization.

Crop dusting is spraying of powdered insecticide or fertilizer on crops from the air. Oh, wow. Okay. And crop dusting is also that thing where you move through a crowd of people and fart as you do. So there's the full rundown on that one. Goodness me. Getting in the way of apparently we've got a plane to catch And I assume the plane we're travelling back to Auckland on

Will also be crop dusting on the way Top dressing Absolutely I've lost Fletch into the history of top dressing in New Zealand No, I've gone into the Agent Orange Oh, okay And that the fertiliser Dow supplied about a third of the Agent Orange Used by US military in South Vietnam

At a cost of $7 per gallon. Oh my God, and that was made in here in New Plummet? Absolutely. How did that slip under the radar? Different times. Wildly different times. All right, here's the podcast. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast.

ZM. Welcome to the show, Fletchvorna Megan. Morning. You may have missed that news. You're in the bathroom, but there's been a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. I heard that. New Caledonia? Yeah, New Caledonia.

Yeah. Off the coast. And yeah, as Rachel said, you can go to the NZ Herald for all the details about the tsunami warning, but it's basically Northland. So stay out of the water. Northland. Especially in the dark. Civil Defence kind of updating it, right? Yeah, they're just expecting strong and unusual

currents and unpredictable surges on the shore. What about actual New Caledonia though? Any word on that? I'm guessing because it's happened in the middle of the night, we're not seeing any images or getting any reports yet but yeah heck it's a strong one uh we'll keep you updated throughout the morning uh coming up on the show the top six is uh it is the anniversary of the little miss and mr men

books oh i had a few of those growing up did Did you have some? Yeah. The Mr. Men. There was Mr. Tickle. Mr. Tickle had really long arms. Really long arms. And he loved giving tickles, didn't he? Yeah, because he had the arms to get tickled. Well, that's kind of along the line of what we're talking about. Okay.

The top six modern additions. Oh, okay. Because, you know, you just can't rock around tickling anybody anymore. No, it's a different time. I mean, it's a different time back then. Yeah, even then I don't know if you were allowed. No. You know, but that sort of thing just got swept under the rug a little bit more. Yeah, so you're kind of updating the series.

Yeah, I've got the top six ones to add to the list. Oh, brilliant. Okay. We'll also do a bit of a delve into some of the more precarious characters of the original lineup. Next on the show, though, embarrassment for the Waikato Police. Yeah, they revealed, but not revealed, their new undercover vehicle. Give me the whole story of it next. This is great.

ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. New Zealand Police are pretty savvy on the old social media. Oh, I always like it when they post the puppies. Oh, yeah, the graduates, the cute puppies. Yeah, they're real. It's real media. Oh, I always like it when they post the puppies. Oh, yeah, the graduates, the cute puppies. Yeah, they're real. It's real cute. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And sometimes you're like, oh.

It's not going to be long now until they're tearing someone's arm off, are they? And he shouldn't have run, should he? He shouldn't have. He shouldn't have tried to escape from a dog whose sense of smell is, you know, almost unimaginable to a human. Tracked him right through the dark, didn't it? Rippets his arm off now. Well, the Waikato police shared on their Facebook,

here is one of our new unmarked vehicles. And then there's a picture of the Hamilton Police Station car park. Okay. To, you know, standard uniformed Holden Commodores. Oh, yeah. Flanking this black silhouette. And it seems that they've taken a photo of this new undercover car and then just blacked out the edges.

Like they've done that in paint or something? Yeah. Or like on Snapchat? They've done that magnet tool. Oh, yeah. I think they've done that magnet tool that's very hard to use and you click around that edge. Oh, yeah, I don't like, yeah.

And then you fill it. Yeah, you fill it with black. With a flat black. And they said, don't see it. So here is one of the new unmarked vehicles. I could show you, but it would defeat the purpose. Don't see a police vehicle around? We might be there anyway.

Anytime, anywhere, we're committed to keeping our community safe. And somebody put it back into whatever photo editing software is used and has kind of like changed the contrast. And it's amazing. They've got like the number plate and everything. They've completely reversed the filter.

They've revealed the car. Yeah. And then posted a photo next to the original of the car. So I guess MS Paint or the old Paint one, you paint over it and save it as a new file, you wouldn't be able to do that? But when it's one of these, effectively another layer. Yeah, you probably can.

It could be taken off. Yeah, because I know Basics Photoshop of Photoshop, but I don't know. So what, they would have just gone around it and then just tinkered with the contrast because you can still see the outline of the police cars next to it

but they were like wildly overexposed. Yeah. I mean, I guess the gag was. Yeah. I mean, it's not a huge secret.

Exactly. It's not a marked police car so unless you're like Rain Man for number plates. Well, they have extra aerials, don't they?

That's the other thing. Somebody said, if this was your best chance at spotting a undercover police vehicle, you're probably already getting your speeding ticket because they're always clean.

Grey or silver, but I have seen some other cars on the road that have some undercover reds. Always different colours. You can't say, well, I've seen reds in different colours.

Daytime running lights going a bit slower than any other car or the road, parked in strange spots and of course have extra aerials. We followed a marked police car pretty much from like just out of Wellington right through to like Ty Happy. Really? And you could just tell

and they weren't overtaking people any faster than like 110km. They'd always indicate back into the lane. You know, people don't do that and they have four aerials on their car and they have steel wheels yeah because sometimes

they never have mags they have like those steel wheels yeah if I owned a Holden Commodore I'd just put steel wheels and an extra aerial on it anyway so people always like

let me pass drove safer around me now then they'd drive really slow in front of you because you know when there's a police car around people drive like 80 yeah but that's why I've got police lights in my Holden Commodore Drive safer around me Now then they drive Really slow in front of you Because you know when There's a police car around People drive like 80

Yeah but that's why I've got police lights In my home Flash them They pull over I see it past I think that's impersonating A police officer isn't it

I don't think so no But then technically There'd be more police officers On the road It would be safer You're not a police officer No one would know Who was the real

Who was the fake Well it's just They make life interesting Wouldn't it be safer if everyone was a police officer? I mean, I see your logic, but no. Yeah, and they're getting skodas soon. Yeah, I've seen one of their skodas. Have they already got them? They've started replacing them, yeah.

Oh, okay. Are they going to be undercover as well? Because you might just think that's a rep for Cadbury or something. Yeah, yeah. With a whole lot of Cadbury chocolate in their boot. You know a sales rep that drives around? They always have stations. Stockists?

Are they the people that stack? Reps. What do they call them? They've got a name. What do they call the people that drive around to the supermarkets and stack specific products to make sure they're stacked right? They've got a name, don't they? They have a name.

What is that called? God, it's on the tip of my tongue. They're driving around right now because they're always on the road, aren't they? They're always on the road. They're always on the road. It's not a stockist. It's a...

Merchandiser! Merchandiser. Executive intern Anya with the answer. God, you'd be good to have around for crosswords. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Executive intern on you with the answer. God, you'll be good to have around for crosswords. Well, it's been a week for Zoom calls and boomers having trouble with Zoom. There was the council meeting from the parish council meeting. Jackie Weaver. She's done a heap of talk shows.

She's gone famous. I'm worried about what that power will be doing to her ego. She already had the ability to boot people out of a Zoom meeting and that seemed to be too much for her to handle. Well, it seemed a lot for the other parish members to handle too, didn't it? I didn't know how to handle Jackie Weaver. Well,

a stream has appeared from the 394th Judicial District Court in Texas online. Now, there's a warning on the corner of this saying recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited. Prohibited. Violation may constitute contempt of court.

Oh, really? But this is in Florida who share everything. This is Texas where maybe a bit more privacy is in. Well, I can see why somebody shared this, because there was a court. You can see the judge. The judge is in one of the squares on the Zoom call. And then there's another guy. And then down the corner, somebody else is appearing on this Zoom trial.

But there's a filter applied to his face. And that's where the problem starts. Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings. You might want to... We're trying to... Can you hear me, Judge? I can hear you.

I think it's a filter. It is, and I don't know how to remove it. I've got my assistant here. She's trying to, but... I'm prepared to go forward with it. I'm here live. I'm not a cat. Because he, in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, is a cat. A white, really cute, but sad-looking cat.

Is the cat's mouth moving when he talks? Yes, it is, in his eyes. Oh, good. I was wondering. Yeah. I've only seen the still of it and heard the audio. I haven't seen whether or not the cat's mouth moves as well. Yeah, I think just after that he manages to get the filter off.

Yeah. But, yes, it's gone viral, and rightly so. It's very funny. I would probably like that for contempt of court. Well, good luck tracking her, did it? I mean, it could have only been one of so many people in the Zoom. Actually, yeah, I probably wouldn't. I'd be scared.

ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Morning to all the merchies who messaged in, the merchandisers. They're out there. We were searching for that word. Yeah. For those sales, company sales reps that specifically go to supermarkets. Yeah. To stock specific parts of specific shelves.

Yes. Good morning. Now, the global pandemic has changed travel, and part of travel is accommodation. Do you know, on that, I was reading this morning, the UK are like, oh, look, I don't know if we're going to be able to even holiday even around the UK, let alone overseas. And everyone is like, excuse me.

Right. And they're like, save our holidays excuse me. Right. And they're like, save our holidays. And they're like, kicking up a fuss. It's like, excuse me, we've all been stuck down here for a year. You can handle another six months. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, what did they want to do? Just keep spreading it? They want to keep spreading it, I think.

Yeah. Okay, that's a novel approach. I know. Well, if I say hotel, you say, I think. Yeah. Okay, that's a novel approach. I know. Well, if I say hotel, you say... Trivago. Yeah, Trivago. Would you have said Trivago, Georgia? I would have, actually. Not as much as if you would have said it this time last year. It's probably faded a little bit, right?

It has, yeah. Trivago ads probably haven't been on. Hotel Triv? Hotel Trivago. Well, what happened to Trivago lady? She's dead. No, no, she's not dead. She's not dead.

Her name is Gabrielle Miller. Right. But everybody just knows her as Trivago girl. People just yell out like hotel at her. I haven't seen her. And she says Trivago. I've seen ads, but they're like a different voiceover, like a guy. And they're like a montage of, they're different, the ads.

I've seen them. Well, I mean, they've slowed their advertising right down yeah complete lack of travel uh but apparently she used to um she also does some performing music she's a musician as well oh right okay so she along with the trivago stuff has been traveling around the world yeah juggling projects she said. Freelancing, travelling, performing. She had been based in Germany but now she's back in Australia. That's where she's originally from, Coffs Harbour. And she said it's a bit more

motherhood. So she's given up the Trivago life. She's done. They just haven't needed her for Trivago ads. Because there's no Trivago ads. Trivago lady. Yeah. The Trivago hotel, Trivago, Trivago, Trivago ads. Trivago lady. Yeah. The Trivago, Hotel Trivago, Trivago, Trivago. Yeah.

She's done. Yeah. And she's just what? Like the rest of us. Just chilling. Just chilling. Getting on with life. I miss the midnight falafels and the Neverland appeal of Berlin. Okay. And I miss Bosnia. The people are inspiring. In the summer I performed at the Java Wood Festival,

and in winter, I ski Buzhra-Shanka Mountain, a very special place in Turkey. All the time, getting the cheapest deals on hotels. Because she booked with Trivago. Do you think she got a discount? Surely. Surely. Or free.

Or just credit on a Trivago account. Imagine you're the Trivago lady You turn up to check in They'd be like Uh oh Uh oh What's going on here Give her the good room

Give her the good room Yeah Upgrade her for sure Yeah give her a free Bottle of champagne That's the main reason Pippa Wetzel does Fair go

To get better service Anywhere she goes Everybody's terrified Do you think when Pippa Wetzel buys something They're like They're always trying to Upgrade her to that

Bloody $50 Extra protection For five years Or whatever they Everybody's terrified Do you think when Pippa Wetzel Buys something They're like They're always trying to upgrade it To that bloody Fifty dollars Extra protection For five years Or whatever they Like Scotchgarden Like if she buys the lounge sweat They're like No I'd say they'd do it for free

For Pippa Wetzel Pippa Wetzel She's our Travaga Earlier on this week The New New York Times released a documentary about Britney Spears called Framing Britney Spears. A lot of celebrities have spoken up about it, including Miley Cyrus when she was doing her TikTok tailgate Super Bowl pre-show. Try and say that fast.

TikTok tailgate Super Bowl pre-show. She spoke up about Britney Spears during that as Demi Lovato has done the same thing but Kevin Federline who's Britney Spears'

ex-husband has actually spoken up because everyone's concerned for the kids yeah have the kids seen this documentary and apparently

his lawyer said that the kids have no idea about the documentary and they're doing great and so is Britney so that's got a lot of fans

with the hashtag Free Britney Movement a bit up in arms about that. I need to see this doco but is it... I know. It's time... Geolocked.

Geolocked. So you can't watch it. I know that the UK is the next to get it so I'm wondering whether we're going to be in the next year or two. And everybody's piling

on Justin Timberlake saying he needs to apologise for being a big douchebag in the 2000s. Right. And everybody's piling on Justin Timberlake saying he needs to apologise for being a big douchebag in the 2000s. Right. In the late 90s. Yeah, I find that interesting. That's what I want to know

because obviously it must focus on that quite a bit in the doco, eh? And then everybody's been saying just the way she's been treated and they're trying to cancel. But like in the, like, start of the 2000s,

mid-2000s, everyone was piling on her, weren't they? Yeah. It was just like a cultural thing to do. She was like... The pylon. It was weird, yeah.

Did you see the footage from the 2007 Late Show with Craig Ferguson, who said, from now on, I don't? Oh, he stuck up for it. Yeah, in 2007, when it was like late-night talk show host as a fodder, he was like, no, I'm not going to do this anymore. This show should be about

punching up. Yeah. Having the politicians and the powerful, not someone who's still a kid and going through hell. Yeah. It was a really cool clip.

Yeah, there's also been, I've seen articles about how we're all to blame for what's happened to Brittany and I'm like, oh, I feel personally attacked but I was only one probably at the time.

You're off the hook. I think you can still cancel a one-year-old. Jeez, have we done that? I don't know. Probably. There's the latest from all you get at ZM Online. All right, the top six is coming up on the show. Yeah, it's the anniversary of Mr. Men and Little Miss.

You know those little books with the little faces and the little... Yep. They all had activities. Mr. Tickles. Yeah, Fletch's favourite. Do you have a favourite with the little faces and the little... Yep. They all had activities. Mr. Tickles. Yeah, Fletch's favourite. Do you have a favourite? Little Miss Sunshine, I think it was. She was always happy, right?

Because he's your tea, you know? Yeah. Oh, rate yourself. You're cancelled. But you are always... That actually probably is true. You are probably like Little Miss Sunshine. Yeah.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. There's a small debate happening in Australia at the moment, one they've had previously, I think 2013, from my internet sleuthing. Oh, sleuthing. The idea of selling adult fun toys at the supermarket.

So imagine here in New Zealand you go to like New World or Countdown or, I'm not going to name all the supermarkets, you know, you live here. But you go there and in that section, you can already buy like a couple of little bits, say bits and pieces. And if it's what, you can get alcohol and that's R18, right?

Yep, that's a good point. And if you're going into one of those stores, it's the same. Alcohol does more social damage than lubricant. Yeah, but if you're wheeling your kids through the supermarket, you don't need to explain the beer section, do you? But you just put them on the top shelf, right?

Yeah, you just have them in an area. You go past lots of stuff in the supermarket that your kids don't need to have explained. Like sellotape. No. I've got guts full of sellotape being in my supermarket, corrupting my children. Well, by the year 2026, which isn't too far away, five years, the global sexual wellness market, which is what this kind of comes under, is estimated to be worth $125 billion.

Now, see, this is the wellness market I can get behind. Because what is it otherwise? Collagen, drinks, and all that nonsense. So, no, that would be under something else. That's what I'm saying. Sexual wellness. Yeah, this is what I'm saying. This is my favourite corner of the wellness market.

It's the sexual corner. Right. Because that is wellness, isn't it? Yeah, it's not crowned up cow bones. No, that don't actually do anything. But, okay, so this corner alone is going to be worth $126 billion. And so that's, I guess, why supermarkets are a bit... It's a lot of satisfied protesters.

It's a lot, yeah. See, I don't know if you'd be able to buy... But wouldn't a supermarket would be the better place to buy this stuff? Because then you don't have to go into one of those, like, stores. Well, you just order it all online, right? Well, most people do, yeah. Oh, I have never done that. But also, as you said off-air about going through a self-checkout.

Yeah, because exactly. So we've asked this question on our Instagram and already a few thousand people have voted. Should adult fun toys be sold in the supermarket in New Zealand? 65% of people said no. No. I thought that would have been a bit more 50-50 or a bit more in favour. Just as another option.

Yeah. I was going to say, but then again, if you're going into, say, one of the adult toy stores, you're most likely not going to bump into your auntie, right? But if you're at the supermarket. You might bump into someone you know. Yeah, there's more of a chance of... Yeah. ...Auntie Jo being in there, you know? Yeah, okay.

You wouldn't see your auntie in there? I wouldn't. No, I don't live near any of my aunties. Oh, so you're lucky. Yeah, same, actually, but... But you could live... Your neighbour could see you. Yeah. Producer Jared, you've worked at a supermarket.

Let's just go for your expertise, your opinion here. What would you say about this? It'd be ripe for a shoplifting. Rife for a shoplifting. The thing is, there's always a supervisor on a self-serve who's like watching

what everyone's doing so no one steals stuff. And they can see everything that gets scanned through. Yeah, because they're looking to see if you're putting like expensive nuts in as popcorn or something, aren't they?

They're onto that kind of trick. I did not know that. I actually got snapped on a self-serve machine doing this. What, buying something naughty? Yeah, at the time I had a girlfriend and she worked at the same supermarket I was shopping in. Her sister also worked there. I came through the self-serve

holding um some items some items and scanned them through no worries looked up and saw my girlfriend's sister look at the screen then look at me and just like shake her head so she's she's showing you oh boo somebody's practicing safe sex with my sister and when i walked out when i walked out she was like i finish at three who said that the sister yeah the sister so she knew she's like

get it done by three oh I thought she was coming on to you same get her done with and come see me at three holy hell

or hold off until three yeah wait till I'm finished it probably wasn't the condoms it was probably the cotties chocolate sauce that she was just worried about the linen because you know that's a that's a big problem Yeah, wait till I'm finished. It probably wasn't the condoms. It was probably the Cottie's chocolate sauce.

That she was just worried about the linen, because, you know, that's a... That's a big problem. It's a big problem. Was it that chocolate sauce that goes hard, though? Well, no, but the ice cream is what makes it go hard. I think that only works on ice cream mounds. Your skin can be quite cold, maybe. By the way, never call ice cream mounds of ice cream again.

No one describes it as I'm going to have a, anybody want a mound of ice cream? No one says a mound when they're talking about ice cream. You don't want to eat a mound of ice cream. No, I'll eat a bowl of ice cream or a cone of ice cream. No, no, I'm not done. I stopped referring to them as mound. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. From the dusty ZM think tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Welcome to the Top Six. Today's Top Six dealing with Mr. Men and Little Miss, the 50th anniversary of the books and characters. And there's a whole lot of them. I've got the list open here.

This has been one of the biggest children's book kind of series. I don't know. It was always so simple. Yeah, but that's what made it so. Yeah, and it kind of was a moral to the story. Mr. Tickle, Mr. Greedy, Mr. Happy, Mr. Nosy, Mr. Sneeze, Mr. Bump. Mr. Snow. I felt he was just a snowman.

I felt that was a cheap one there. Mr. Nobody. He was sad. He was just like this white circle. Mr. Tall, Mr. Noisy. sad he was just like this white circle yeah Mr. Tall Mr. Noisy all the Mr's okay

well they're adding some new ones okay they're giving people the chance to vote on new characters to add to the universe but I've got the top six modern additions to Mr. Men

and Little Miss Little Miss Filter is in at number six no one's ever seen her in person just on Instagram probably wouldn't recognise her if they did see her yes

she's very unrecognisable yes much more tanned in person yeah only posts with a filter yes like no one actually knows

what she looks like absolutely no idea number five on the list of the top six modern additions to the Mr Me and Little Miss books Mr Social Anxiety

he's the only one in his books that's all we really know. He keeps to himself. Yep. He doesn't like people. He doesn't need people. He doesn't socialise.

No, he's quite happy just to potter around. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six modern additions to the Mr. Men and Little Miss Books. Mr. It's Just Protein. Muscle-bound, roid-raging Mr. It's Just Protein splits his time between doing nothing but weights at the gym and injecting steroids in the bathroom and telling people he's just found a really good balance of protein

and it's all natural. Of course, yep, absolutely is. Number three on the list of the top six modern additions to Mr. Men and Little Miss, Little Miss Mummy Blogger. It's about lying what your children are capable of and a subtle but not unnoticed attempt to shame other parents. Yep.

That's a good word. But I'll tell you what she's got a following. She's doing them social posts. Number two on the list of the top six modern additions to the Mr. Men and Little Miss box, Mr. Ticket Up. He seems to have all the toys, but financially he's in big trouble. He doesn't own anything. And if it all comes falling down,

the stuff he's bought hasn't retained any value at all. No. Poor investments. And number one on the list of the top six modern additions

to the Mr. Men and Little Miss books, Mr. Cancelled. He grew up under the guise of his mentor, Mr. Tickles, but that was from a bygone era

and you just can't run around tickling people with long arms anymore. Yeah. You're cancelled. Not to mention some thoughts he had in the early 2000s that he put on Twitter. Yeah. Someone dug deep and found those, so now he's Mr. Cancelled.

That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Police in America, this is a article on Vice. Apparently, people are going to deal with the police. Yeah. And are filming it so that police wear body cams in America, but often that footage can go missing or something went wrong with it

or it doesn't show the interaction with someone who wants to lay a complaint against them. I know. That happens a lot. Didn't some cop shoot a guy in a garage like last week and, oh, the body cam wasn't turned on? Wasn't working, yeah. It's like, what the?

I can't blame these people for wanting to film their interactions so there's this guy called senate and he um is a la area activist right so he has lots of run-ins with the police and he always live streams it on instagram live um and records it as well uh and shares them to show how he's being dealt with. So he received a ticket that he believed unfair. So he was going into the police station to get the body camera footage. Right. To be like, well, I want to see what was recorded on the body camera because I believe that was unfairly ticketed. When he starts asking questions,

the police officers at the Beverly Hills Police Department in LA turned up Sublime Santa Ria so that it was at a volume that it was the prominent audio in the recording. So that if it was uploaded to Instagram, it would be taken down. It would be taken down due to breach of copyright and using other people's music for longer than however many seconds. Because even if we have a live stream, sometimes we'll live stream the studio if any audio goes on it'll cut the live stream and say

you've broken the rules. It doesn't need many seconds to recognise the song. Same with Instagram, I think I've uploaded stuff there and it's like taken it down within seconds. This is copyright. And it scans everything as you're uploading it now

it's the same with YouTube or any live streams also have that filter on it so wow so they're deliberately playing music so they can't be filmed yeah

wow yeah so the music yeah if there is filming because that's what somebody it was a joke online but I saw

a female I follow online talking about a comedian from the States. If she ever felt like she was being recorded in the throes of passion, shall we say, without her permission, she would turn on Disney songs on her phone and turn them up really loud because guaranteed if it ever got shared online because she's got a profile, it would get taken down

because of the copyright infringement. What a great plan. That would be, even if you do, like you and your partner are like, let's make a video, play some music just in case it got out there.

It got leaked or stolen or... What is the, is there a visual equivalent? There's no visual scans of copyrights. No, there is because some people that upload shows that have just aired in America will try to reverse the images or they'll change them. So there are ways that...

So maybe start with an interlude, a visual cut in from like Star Wars. Okay. Because that's owned by Disney, right? That's a big thing. They wouldn't want that getting leaked online. No, they wouldn't want that. And then just hit the Frozen soundtrack in the background.

Disney will take care of it. Disney will take care of the rest. Disney's got your back when it comes to illicit recordings. Yeah, stopping your illicit recordings from being shared. Absolutely. All right, joining us next on the show, one of TikTok's sweethearts, you'd say, right? Total TikTok's sweetheart.

And the ladies in the office love following his journey. Executive Intern Anya, is it fair to say you're very excited about this interview? I'm absolutely fizzing. Yeah, like the girls in the office love... Don't say fizzing because it's fizzy drink he's trying to give up. Sorry. Yeah.

It might kickstart his addiction again. So how long have you been following this guy, Roheat? How long have you been following him for? Probably like six months. And this is how he starts all of his videos. Hello, everyone. No fizzy drink for me today. Tingles.

Tingles. You love him. He's so sweet. If you don't know his TikToks already, you need to watch them. They're so wholesome. All right. Well, he joins us on the show next.

Maybe some inspiration as well if you're trying to quit the fizz or quit something. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Well, he's a TikTok sensation. Hello, everyone. No fizzy game for me today. This afternoon, I went to lunch with my wife and she ordered watermelon loctail and she asked me if I want to have a sip.

I don't think it was fizzy, but I could see some bubbles and I didn't end up having a sip. A big thank you to you guys for the love and continuous support you guys have been providing. This wouldn't have been possible without you guys. Let's celebrate this once again together by having a glass of water. I still have 10 more kilos to lose, so I've decided to continue my weight loss journey along with the No Fizzy Drinks journey. Well, let's hear from the man himself

because he's joining us via Zoom. Rohit, good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Noparan, can you start the interview how you start all of your TikToks, please? Hello, everyone. No Fizzy Drinks for me today. No problem. Can you start the interview, how you start all of your TikToks, please? Hello, everyone. No fizzy drink for me today. Yay!

Mind you, it's very early. When you were drinking fizzy drink, what time of the day were you having your first fizzy drink? Early morning, like as soon as I wake up, 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, I was addicted, obviously. So I used to have fizzy drinks throughout the day, especially early morning.

Wow. And how many would you have a day? When I was addicted, at the peak of my addiction, I used to have four, five, six cans a day, minimum. Wow. Are you drinking soda water? Are you allowed soda water or just no fizzy at all? No fizzy at all.

And you're coming up on 150 days nearly of no fizzy? No, no fizzy drinks, 250 days because this is only the weight loss journey. So eight months. Wow. And if you don't mind me asking, I mean, a lot of people don't worry about the numbers when they're on a weight loss journey. It's more about how they feel and how they see themselves. But if there was a number, how much weight have you lost in that time? I have lost around 13 kilos.

Wow. Great work. And you think most of it was to do with the fizzy drink? When I did the no fizzy drink journey, I didn't lose much during the no fizzy drink journey when I was stopping fizzy drinks. but then I started the weight loss journey and that's when the real weight started coming off. But fizzy drinks, no drinking is a big deal anyway. Like that helped. Right, and you're based in Melbourne, so there's been, you know, a couple of lockdowns

in that time that you have been doing it. How have you found the motivation? Because a lot of people kind of took the lockdowns as a chance to say, hey, I'll deal with this on the other side yeah i'm lucky that all i this all started during the lockdown for me in that sense i'm lucky because lockdown is sort of a positive thing for me happened rather than negative as like most people they get overweight and those sort of things so when i started my no physically journey um lockdown did help a bit because I'm not going out to parties or meeting friends.

So then I got more time to focus on myself and not having fizzy drinks and doing more workouts and those sort of things. And did you ever imagine when you started the TikTok account that that many people would be interested and be following along on the journey? No, I just wanted, I just might have downloaded TikTok and I thought it's really good that you can put the videos.

I started posting videos. I was expecting some support, but not that much support, which I'm really lucky. So you were just doing it to hold yourself accountable. You thought, well, if these videos are there, I can look back and say, no, I've said it publicly and it's really worked for you. Exactly. I have been trying to get rid of visiting so many times, but then I thought, let's start putting it on TikTok, and hopefully that helps, and that definitely helped. And you've got fans now.

You go out in public and you get recognised? Yeah, I do get recognised. We still have to wear masks now, so sometimes people don't recognise, but outdoors you don't need to wear masks, so people do recognise me. Like recently I went to Thousand Steps, which is like a physical exercise. People recognize me there. I do get that all the time. Wow, because you even have fans.

Executive intern Anya, she is a big fan. The girls in the office, she's more excited to meet you than she was Matthew McConaughey. No, thank you for all the support because that's the main thing which keeps me going. You're so welcome she's actually fangirling i love this so not so much with fizzy drink because i imagine you don't want to go back to fizzy drink um but is there a number of days you want to get to

on your weight loss journey is have you got a goal in mind or is this just a forever change no no i did say that i want to get around 79 kilos, which is my next target. Currently, I'm on 87. So I still have around nine kilos to do. But obviously, even if I finish the weight loss journey, now this will be a healthy thing forever for me in my life. That's so cool. Well, really appreciate it.

I like just the humble approach in your videos. You're like, guys, this is where I'm at today. There's been highs, there's been lows because a lot of influences online when it comes to this sort of stuff, it's a lot of smoke and mirrors and it's not always the honest truth. So I think your approach of being humble

and letting people know your weak moments as well as your strongs are a really good approach. Thank you. It's all about the honesty for me. I really started it for the main reason of getting rid of fizzy drinks and losing weight, and I'll continue like that. I always say the correct thing. I weigh myself every morning, and I exactly say what my weight is.

If I'm saying I haven't had fizzy drinks for 250 days, then I haven't even had a single drop. It's not that I'm drinking, hiding from the camera or something. So I try to be honest, and I think that's what people like. Awesome. Well, thanks so much for joining us and good luck with the rest of the journey. Thank you very much. Thanks for all the support. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

It is the painting that is dividing the internet. A very proud mom yesterday, Kim Kardashian, put up a photo of a landscape, a beautiful... Beautiful painting. You know, like Bob Ross from a landscape, a beautiful lake. Beautiful painting. You know, like Bob Ross from the Netflix Bob Ross show?

Yeah, there's sort of an island in the foreground with two trees on it, another island in the background, a lake dividing them, and then a snow-capped rocky peak in the background in front of, even I find the blue sky very well painted. Oh, it's beautiful. Now, Kim Kardashian posted this because she's a proud mum. Yeah. She's like, look what North painted.

Look at what my amazing little North did. Now, North is seven. Seven. Yes. Seven years old. Correct. Let's just go around the room. Do you believe she painted this?

You've actually done some research into this. I have done some research. I actually... When you first saw the photo, what were your thoughts? Well, I don't follow her. So my first... I don't follow Kim Kardashian. My first walk down this path was somebody I follow shared it.

But they shared her angry reply first. They're like, how dare you all say that my daughter didn't paint this. She put her heart and soul into it, and you guys are out here slandering children. And I think she missed the point. No one was slandering children. They were slandering her for not giving, and maybe not giving us the whole truth.

Because the person I follow, journalist, went back and found other Instagram posts of artistic works by North previously, like writing on the toilet roll, Mum, I love you. Yep. I believe that she did that. Yep. That was...

Waste of toilet paper. That looked like the writing of a seven-year-old. Yeah. And then the time that she'd done, she'd written on her mum's face and then a white singlet that she decorated and said, oh, my little fashion, kick-starting her fashion.

And the drawing was that of a seven-year-old. Yeah. And the kid must like drawing, like art. But then there was no situation explained as to how the seven-year-old had gone from running on a toilet roll to painting an amazing oil landscape. Oh, it's an incredible, like, the kind of painting most people couldn't paint. Georgia, do you think when you first saw this, what were your thoughts? I actually thought that she'd done it.

But that's because... You've never met a seven-year-old? No, because my little niece paint, does stuff like this. And she's like, what, eight, nine? But they're intricate and amazing and detailed. Okay, the shading on that, the mirroring on the water and everything,

that gets me. That does. So we asked on our Instagram story, do you believe North West painted this? 81% said no. 19%, and maybe feeling bad because Kim Kardashian did spray us all yesterday, said they do believe she did.

And it turns out after some further investigation, she has, but asterisk. But yeah, asterisk. There's a class in Calabasas, apparently, and your kids go for... This is the other thing. Has America reopened its casual art schools? Apparently.

That's a question for another time. Yeah. So, Northwest went with a friend to this art class. Now, that one painting takes weeks and is heavily supervised by the art teacher. Right. Who walks them through every individual part

of how to do it. Almost like a paint by numbers. Yeah, but then that's the other thing. All of the photos that have been shared by people who also went to the same art class

all look very, very similar. So it's almost like because they take weeks, the teacher goes, today we're going to paint blue in the background and we'll go around and help every individual kid do it. Right.

And then next time they come back, okay, today we're going to paint, this is what we do next. And it is teaching in the process of painting, the layering of painting. Yeah. But apparently a very hands-on class. So it's basically cheating.

Yeah. It's like... Well, no, yeah. How she put it originally is the problem. My kid painted this. Rather than being like, my daughter went to a two-week art class where a very talented teacher of 30-plus years

walked the kids step-by-step through how to do this painting. Yeah, but when you're a parent skiting on Instagram... Yeah, look, I'm a parent that skites on Instagram all the time. You've got to make this shit believable. You've got to create a bit of context. And at the end, you've got to self-deprecate

how your kid's way better than you. That's what gives people the buy-in. Yeah, right. She never did any of that. Just claim that the kid did it all, not including the fine print of a teacher assisting. Because we did have some teachers text in

saying there's no way CVD rods could do that. Yeah. They're bloody useless. But then other teachers... I'm just paraphrasing. a teacher assisting. Because we did have some teachers text in saying there's no way seven year olds could do that. Yeah. They're bloody useless. But then other teachers I'm just paraphrasing. If you can get a kid

to pay attention for that period of time they're capable of anything. Yeah, right. I just wonder if it's one of those art schools that rich people send their kids to

so they need this kind of outcome. Because if you were spending thousands of dollars on your kid How much does it cost?. Because if you were spending thousands of dollars on your kid. Oh, yeah, how much does it cost? Yeah, if you're spending thousands of dollars to send your kid and they came home with, you know, one of those pictures you don't really want to have to put on the fridge.

Yeah. But you do anyway. Like a botched sort of self-portrait of themselves. Yeah. Yeah, because you'd be demanding your money back. Yeah. I saw my daughter did a self-portrait. I sent it to the group chat last night.

Georgia, you didn't see that. When she came home and had that, I was quite impressed that a seven-year-old... See, that's a seven-year-old self-portrait. Now, I don't mean that in a bad way. That's quite good. Very advanced. Very advanced.

This is my seven-year-old. I should put this up today. My six-year-old did this. Yeah. But see, if you put that up and said, my six-year-old did this, people would be like, that's cool. Yeah.

They're not going to mow you down No Because that's what they expect But I did hit her up about this She's given herself An Ariana Grande ponytail Her hair's not that long I said that would be like

Me painting a self portrait And just giving myself hair You can't do it You can't lie That's inspiration though I hope by the end of the year My hair's this long So my parents got Two golden retriever puppies After they said I hope by the end of the year my hair's this long. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

So my parents got two golden retriever puppies after they said, I think we need to put that, can we put that photo on? I think that would be fine. I think they've told. Because everyone in the office rushed in. Because we weren't allowed to tell my siblings. Yep.

And their kids. Okay. Because mum and dad wanted to, because my brother's in Australia, so they haven't seen his kids for ages. So they had a Skype with them and popped up the puppies and they were very excited. And my sister went over there,

but her kids were at school. Right. But she's since shown them a photo. So I think we're good. The news is out. Mum will do that thing where she's like, I need to tell everybody we're getting bloody dogs. You know, parents.

We've got to put a photo up because they're so cute. They are super cute. We'll put that on our Instagram, FEMZM, but these two dogs. In fact, Mum might, actually, we could open, if we post that,

we could also open it up because this is what I want to talk about today. Mum said she'd decided on the names, pretty much. Fleur and Chloe. This is Chris then. This isn't too bad. Our last dog's names were Megan and Tessa. Fleur and Chloe. This is Chris then.

This isn't too bad. Our last dog's names were Megan and Tessa. And then they got shortened to Megan Tess. Now you know that I love a human name for an animal. But like my current cat,

Major Murray Fluffington, Murray, and my previous cat, Karen, if you go human name, you have to go silly, old. You can't go 20-somethings female.

No. No. Because that's the name of an every. That's the same with our dog, Ralph. Yeah. People used to be called Ralph. But they're not now. They're not called Ralph anymore.

Exactly. And it's a funny name for a dog because it was predominantly a human name. Like Terry. That would be a funny name for a dog. That would be a funny name for a terrier. It would be. It would be great. Terry the terrier.

But not like Tessa or Emma or Chloe. What are they? Fleur and Chloe. And then last night we did Skype to catch up, see how the puppies are going. Settling in very well. Still very, very cute. Mum's like, I'm not sure about Fleur.

She's not a Fleur. Now Chloe's a Chloe. Chloe is a Chloe. How is Fleur not a Fleur? I don't know. But she's like, so I'm thinking Susan. I was like, you can't call a dog Susan, Mum. That's madness. Although it is kind of funny.

But you can't have a Susan and a Chloe. No, that's like a mother and daughter. Yeah, no. Susan's recently divorced and her and Chloe are going to do a Maui camper van trip around New Zealand to find themselves. It's got to be like Susan and Sharon. You've going to do a Maui camper van trip around New Zealand to find themselves. It's got to be like Susan and Sharon. You've got to go a couple of old

battler names. Tracy and Sharon. The golden retrievers. Yes. Tracy and... See, that's funny. Yeah. So what,

she wants to keep... She's open to persuasion on Chloe she's on with. Yeah, on board. She's on board with Chloe. Yeah. So Chloe and something. Yeah. See, someone has messaged in, I'm Fleur. What's on with. Yeah, on board. She's on board with Chloe. Yeah. So Chloe and something. Yeah.

See, someone has messaged in, I'm Fleur. What's wrong with Fleur? Nothing's wrong with Fleur. No. You're a human. It's a great name. Yeah, it's a fine name, but it's not really. It's not a dog's name.

It's not a dog's name. No. You've got your crossover animal dog. And like we said, it's got to be an older name. Yes. That people aren't really getting called now at birth. See, somebody said my mum's cat's name is Margaret. Now, Margaret's a good name for a cat.

But I don't think Margaret would suit a dog. Not a golden retriever anyway. Marg. Margie. Now, you're right, though. It's more of a cat. And plus my dad's sister-in-law's Margaret. I've got Auntie Margaret.

Yeah. Someone said my new kitten's name is Alan. Now, see, Alan's a good name for a kitten. Yes, Alan the kitten. That's great. Alan the cat Alan's a good name For a kitten Yes Alan the kitten That's great Alan the cat Yeah see this is all great For Christine

Your mum Doris She wouldn't go for Doris I don't think A bit too old maybe Somebody said My mastiff is Ian Ian

Ian's your dad's name Yeah he couldn't And it's He'd shoot your face off too Wouldn't he Yeah He would if Give him half the chance

Yeah Maggie See I put Maggie forward Last night And they weren't like really sold on it. But I would like to know, this is a renaming situation because they've been calling her Fleur for a little while. But now they're going to change it up.

And that could be confusing for an animal. But I was wondering if you've ever changed a pet's name. I know some people buy like, you know, crazy breeders always, like pedigree breeders always call their dogs, like, Whistle Wind. Well, yeah, my first cat was called something unusual. Yes. And then you just change it. But they expect you to do that.

They just need to put something on the form. Yeah, and it's always like some conglomeration of names from the breed it comes from. My mum and dad took my brother's cat ages ago and that was called Dillagaff. Does it look like I give a... Yeah, and they were like, stupid name, so they called it Chubbs because it was chubby.

And they can't take body shaming on board. No, they can't. So 0800 Dials at M, give us a call now or you can text in as well 9696. When have you renamed an animal?M, give us a call now, or you can text in as well, 9696. When have you renamed an animal? Yeah. Maybe you got a hand-me-down animal, or you took over somebody's pet,

and you were like, I don't like this name, I'm changing it. That's true. Yeah. You get them from the—we renamed our pigs, actually. Okay. When we got them. What did they— Herman and Hamlet.

They were Dougie and— Dougie. I kind of like that name for a coonie coonie. See, we've got the thing, everything starts with an H on the farm, so we've had to give it a rename. All right, bonus points as well if you've named a child. Oh, $800,000. Gemma, you've renamed a dog.

Yes. Okay, so why did you rename it? Well, when we first got it from the pet store, he already had a name that just didn't suit, which was Milkshake. Okay. But see, I think it's the same with breeders, Gemma, is that they have to name so many of these animals. Yeah, they just end up giving it anything

because they know we're going to rename them, right? He was a little white fluffy dog, so I could see the concept, but it just no. So what did you change it to? We changed it to Peanut. To Peanut. Which wasn't much better. And then he has now got the name Toby. Alright, see

that's a good human name. For a dog, it really is. It is almost a dog name now. Dogs have taken ownership of that name. Thanks, Gemma. Tyler, you went through three names. Yeah, so we got her off the breeder. She was named Cassie with a C. And then because she's a little Bichon Frise,

my sister liked the name Fang because she's got all those little Fang-type Cs. Yeah, and then she goes... And then one of us liked the name Karma. So then we thought, oh, Karma's pretty good. Okay. And then we realised all three names together put KFC. So now your dog is called KFC. For a brief moment, it was KFC,

and then we reverted it back to Karma. Okay, right. Okay, so it's just kind of... Yeah, going through. All right, thanks, Tyler. Emily. Yes. You renamed not an animal, a human.

Yeah, it wasn't me. It was my best friend's little brother. When he was born, her mum named him Jamie. It was all lovely and all the birthday cards were like Jamie. So you named him what? Jamie. Jamie. Yeah.

I thought you said Jayman. No, no, no, Jamie. And then about six weeks later, she was like, no, I hate the name Jamie, and went with Benjamin. Why? And so what do you do on the birth certificate? Because how soon do you fill out those details? You have to name them in the first, is it two weeks? You have to, there's a date you have, your kid has to have a name by.

Right. Yeah, it was like two weeks. Yeah. They put the baby in nameless baby jail. Oh, right. Okay. And then so it's just Benjamin now Yeah now it's just Ben

Wow okay I mean Jamie and Ben two very similar Too many easy palatable Anglo-Saxon names Thanks you call Emily some messages in Our family was given a dog by an old lady The dog's name was BJ It's been changed to Basil

Because we heard out loud Mum saying that's the BJ was given a dog by an old lady, the dog's name was BJ. It's been changed to Basil. Yeah. Oh, that's a good name for a dog. Because we heard out loud mum saying, that's the BJ we got from an old lady. That's good, right? That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good.

That's good. That's really good. I like that. I like the family. I think that's the funniest thing I'll hear today. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. We're definitely not going to talk about that.

ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. No, Hayley Sproul. She's away for a couple weeks. No, Megan. No, Hayley Sproul. No, Megan. She's away on maternity leave. Oh, reliable.

It's a good thing they're both away, actually, because I think they'd smoke. Oh, my God. Megan especially would smoke us at this voiceover challenge. Yeah. This is a TikTok challenge, the voiceover challenge. Could you be a voice actor? Do at this video to find out.

Four scripts, 50 seconds. This is the commercial voiceover challenge. Now, Executive Intern Arnie, fair to say that when Megan's here, she always does a professional voiceover read behind the scenes when we have to record scripts and stuff. Then you would say I would be the one that would follow quite closely behind Megan for lack of mistakes and Vaughn would be the punisher. Yes.

We're always having to re-record lines. He forgets his bits. Yep. That would be a very fair assessment. Oh, I feel targeted. I'll let everybody know now I don't feel good about this. I feel like this is a trap. Although you are the voiceover, television voiceover,

voice of a garage door company. I think more YouTube ads. I haven't seen them on TV for a long time. And I have put my hand up to be the voice of anything that will result in me getting free stuff, basically. Right, okay. Right, I've said it before. I didn't get a free garage door.

I should have pushed harder in the negotiations. Right, okay. Great garage doors've said it before. I didn't get a free garage door. I was going to say you did. I should have pushed harder in the negotiations. Right, okay. Great garage doors, though. And they may not have renewed your contract. So I don't know. I don't know where we're at, actually. That's good. I should follow that up.

Yes. So explain how this works, Executive Intern Anya. So in front of you, you've just been given four scripts in various styles. So we've got serious, romantic, speed, and sad. You will be given 15 seconds of music to do each, but you only get one shot. Now I'm looking for accuracy. I'm looking for clarity, and I'm looking for passion.

So the serious will need to be serious. And we haven't seen the script, so we're going to flip over this paper and we just have to read it. Yes. Professionalism will be tested. Now, a few years ago, there was a horrific famine or war. No, it was a humanitarian crisis. It was a horrific humanitarian crisis.

This was a long time ago, and I did not feel good about this. I was asked to leave the voice recording booth because I couldn't sound... We were all asked to record an ad for, I believe, a relief organisation. Yeah. It was Red Cross. And it was the Gaza Strip. So it was familiar with the issues that had been going on there.

And I tried my darn best to sound sincere and caring. But apparently it kept coming across sarcastic and people were getting angry at me. I was like, I am honestly, I'm trying my best. I'm not a monster. I'm a nice guy. I think this is terrible. Yeah.

But I couldn't do it. Yeah, like could you just for a moment, could you say now in a serious way, I was like, people are dying. Give generously. It was like, yeah, it was like the ongoing crisis worsens. People are losing their lives. Be genuine.

Please. I'm trying. Please. I'm trying. He can't do it. So you know what? Please, be generous. I'm going to get the sad round.

I've got the sad round overborn, surely. Who's going first? Fletch, you take the lead. So this is one minute, full stop with four different ads. 15 seconds each. I always have to Clear my throat too Yeah you cough lots Oh no

Fletch goes like this This is real He taps his microphone But this is before We even go on air He goes I think it's my High cheese intake

All you shock shocks Do that Piss off Rhyme a joke. Okay, so serious is first up. All right. Here we go. Flipping over the script.

You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a handbag. You wouldn't steal a baby. You wouldn't steal your flatmate's milk from the fridge and then claim they're lactose intolerant. Piracy is a crime. I had heaps of time left. She said it once and she'll say it again.

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Say it with a forever diamond because diamonds are forever, unlike relationships. I added that bit. You added that bit. I added that bit. Still lots of, you added that bit. I added that bit. Still lots of time. I've got to slow down.

Side effects include, but are not limited to drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and insomnia. Do not take AtomX or if pregnant, breastfeeding, or you have a heart condition. Consult with your doctor if you see AtomX is right for you. To see if, if oh damn it every day a child in poverty yeah one just crying yeah one just died when this ad just started but just the price of your daily coffee you could save a life what's more important damn it Damn it, I ran out of time that time. I was laughing. You were sloppy. Okay, that's really hard

when you haven't... Now, Vaughn has an advantage because you've just heard that. But I also have a disadvantage of I was never taught to read. So how will he do this? Vaughn, your voiceover challenge starts in three. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a handbag.

You could almost hear you wanting them to leave. You were willing them out. Yeah, okay. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day provided to the show by none other than Carl Peter Fletcher.

You are welcome, New Zealand. This is a great fact. Well, you always get the fact of the day the night before, but I read this this morning, and I was like, this is fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Fascinating. So I have taken what I had for fact of the day

and put it in the archives. Well, I use it. Tomorrow. Put it in the fridge. Put it in a little click-clack. Yeah, we'll grab that tomorrow. Yeah, put it in the ice cream container. Yep.

And click the lid shut so it's airtight and pop it Click clack. We'll grab that tomorrow. Yeah, put it in an ice cream container and click the lid shut so it's airtight and popped in the fridge. We'll use that tomorrow. Today's fact of the day is every single COVID-19 particle, which is the virus that causes COVID-19, it's called SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, every single on Earth at the moment

would fit into a can of Coke and there'd be room to spare. Georgia, wow. Say wow. Is this... This is my fact. Wow. Everything.

All the particles that are causing or have caused COVID-19 could fit in... Continue to cause and are replicated through the body. Is this the normal, like the skinny can, normal can, the giant can? That's a good question. If you're going for a giant can, you've got lots of room to spare.

Your standard 350ml can, lots of room to spare. This is one of those little skins. Yeah, you could even fit it in a skinny can, yeah. Easily. I'll run you through the maths here. A Baths University maths lecturer called Dr. Kit Yates worked this all out. The volume of a single virus is around 523,000 cubic nanometres.

Nanometre being? Is nanometre a millionth of a metre? A millimetre is a thousandth of a metre. You both look at me like I know what a nanometre is. I failed year 11 science. Engineers are all about this. Is the one nanometre can be expressed in a... It might even be more.

It's microscopically tiny. Yeah. Or is it even small? Like, would you even be able to see it? Well, you can see the virus under a microscope, so yes, you would, right? You would. I assume so.

Like, I don't know. So, anyway, it's tiny. It's tiny. I assume so. Like, I don't know. So, it's that many. It's tiny, tiny. 523,000 cubic nanometers. Wow. So, then worked out that there are two quintillion coronavirus particles on Earth. Yep. So, that means that that would have a sum total of 120 mils of volume.

Right. Taken up by the virus. Now, due to the fact that it's a sum total of 120 mils of volume taken up by the virus. Now, due to the fact that it's a spherical pathogen, you've seen the drawings. That's why it's called a coronavirus. And it's got the sucky things off of it. It's because it's Spanish for crown, and it looks like it's wearing a crown

because it's got it all around the circle. Because of the spherical nature of these pathogens, there would be gaps between them, which then would increase this to 160 mils. So that's still half a can of Coke. Yeah. All of the coronavirus in the world would fit in half a can, a standard can of Coke.

Yeah. That is nuts. That's probably why it sneaks into things so easily, right? It catches it right. It's so tiny that it gets in and it sets up camp and away it goes. Now, is that smaller? What was that measurement? 523,000 cubic nanometers. Is that smaller than these Bill Gates microchips that they're injecting into us?

Look, I don't have an exact measurement on the 5G tracking mind control chips. Yeah, okay. They would have to be small. Yeah, they would have to be small. They have to be small. To get through the needle hole. They're going through the needle hole. Exactly. Of course. Exactly. They're going through the needle hole. Oh, okay. They would have to be small. Yeah, they would have to be small. They'd have to be small. To get through the needle hole. They're going through the needle hole. Exactly.

Of course. Exactly, they're going through the needle hole. Oh, silly. With all of the other chemicals. Exactly. That cause mind control. That's sarcasm for about the last 30-so seconds, I think. Yes, please.

Please note that as sarcasm. Wildly sarcastic. Big fans of vaccines here. Big fans. I can't wait to get mine. Sometimes I want one just for a top up, you know? You know, sometimes I'm like, hey, I'm feeling a little diphtheria. I think the neighbor had diphtheria.

So I pop into the doctor's and get my booster shot for a bit of dip. You just love it. You love it. A bit of dip. You can't be too careful. A bit of yellow, a bit of dengue. I'm always chasing up my tetanus booster. Yes.

I love that. Yeah, if I see anybody with a light bit of foam at the mouth, I'm in for a rabies update. Sure. Should they bite me? I do not. God, I don't want rabies. I've got a busy day.

I can't be bogged down with rabies. I know you can't. Running around wanting to bite everybody else because I've got rabies because I didn't get my booster. Absolute madness. So today's fact of the day is if you took all of the SARS-CoV-2 particles, the virus that causes COVID-19, and put them all together, this is every particle of it, on Earth, it would make up 160 mils. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
