And then wait, he's going to put it in the jack and be like, oh, my jack's still wobbly.'m a professional. Look. Flying blind. And then wait until you put it in the jack and be like, oh, my jack's still wobbly.

Yeah, the jack's very wobbly. Put it in the other one. You've got, no, because then I, no, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work well. You're just jealous. You've got a solid, solid jack. Matt Black. Yeah, Matt Black, solid jack.

Only the best for the best. I've got a sloppy old. Yeah, yours is wasted. Half of a hexagonal bulb. Coming up on the show, the top six, Vaughan. Yeah, we've done a... Well, not us personally, but the country's done a little bit of a stock take of the hospitals,

our public hospitals. Guys, it's not good. It's not good. It's not great news. The top six things that were found during the public hospital stock take. Guys, it's not good. It's not good. It's not great news. The top six things that were found during the public hospital stock take. They have to do that thing where stores do it and they get all the stuff and they have to count all the stock. They count all the swabs and the needles. Do they have a big stock take clearance?

50% off. We don't have enough to give away or sell. So, no. Right. Next on the show though, Megan, there's a new Netflix show. There is, which people are saying is racier than Fifty Shades. Good lord.

Alright. This won't be one to watch at the gym then? No. Or on the cross trainer? There's a new movie on Netflix. In fact, it's number two in New Zealand, in the New Zealand top 10. It's number two. Yeah, I've got the top 10 here.

It's behind 13 Reasons Why. I only just heard about this. It's a Polish movie. It's called 365DNI and some people are calling it the new Fifty Shades because Do you know what it's described? You know how it always has a genre underneath?

Oh yeah, what is it? Lavish, romantic, drama. I've got the trailer here. I don't know if we need that one. So we roll the dice. No, no. This is the official teaser trailer. I mean, it's gotta be okay if it need that voice. All right, so we roll the dice. No, no. This is the official teaser trailer. I mean, it's got to be okay if it's on Netflix. Where is this trailer, though?

No, it's on YouTube. What are they saying? They could be saying something, really. Is the main dude in the sex stuff a bald dude with a beard? It is great to have representation. Oh. He is in this trailer. Oh, no, here he is.

Tall, dark and handsome. He's like a Jamie Dorden dude. Oh, okay. From the Polish bestseller. So what happened to the bald guy with the beard? I don't know. He's a chauffeur. Oh, he's a chauffeur.

Why am I here? I want to get out now. Afraid this is impossible. That was him. Oh, okay, right. He's got a private jet. You have 365... So it's basically Fifty Shades of Grey.

It's a rip-off. Oh, wait, he explains why it's called 365DNI. You have 365 days. I'd do anything so you can't tell anyone with me. So he, like, locks her up. Yeah. He locks her up for 365 days and says, you have that long to fall in love with me.

So it's basically Stockholm Syndrome. Oh, that's not healthy. And in between, there is BDSM. There's like graphic, some scenes. See, he does it And it's like Hot because he's rich And he's hot Anybody else does it

It's kidnapping And you're 100% Going to prison Totally Yeah Yeah so There are some people That are saying

The themes in the movie Are problematic And that it's You know Sexual harassment And Yeah Well yeah

The Jeffrey Epstein documentaries at number six in the New Zealand top ten, very similar, you could probably say. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing. Just looking at the top ten on Netflix, Friends is number three on the top. And I've noticed Friends has been in the top ten on Netflix

for the last, like, two or three weeks since it's been back. Yeah, I was going to say, it's only just gone back onto Netflix though, right? Because it's, in America it got withdrawn from Netflix for HBO Max.

Ah. But anywhere else in the world that doesn't get HBO Max can stream Friends on Netflix again. There's so much content to watch though.

Like, I've seen Friends. But then do you think people find a bit of comfort in something they Yeah, 100%. Totally. 100%. Especially at the moment. It's just, you know, it's feel good, light hearted.

And you know all the characters. It's crazy. They still get money from all of that? Yes, they do. Remember they get like, what do they get? $20 million a year? Well, no one to check. I'm just thinking, how do I get myself into this deal?

Work hard Be on a sitcom Yeah Wow Have a bit of luck Yeah, a bit of luck Yeah So back to just your normal life

Yeah Next on the show Benji Marshall Rugby league player. Yep. He's in a little bit of trouble. Okay. All right.

Not his fault, really. ZM's Fletch Warner-Megan, the podcast. Benji Marshall, rugby league player, Benji Marshall, he's in trouble. Well, they lost, the Tigers lost at the weekend. Right. In this rejigged NRL. So he was apparently going to be not playing this weekend anyway. Right.

But then when I'm guessing he was being asked about it at arrival to training, he was having a chat to a news reporter, Michelle Bishop, who works for Seven News. And at the end of the chat, well, actually, when they said hello, he kind of leaned in and she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Mutual sort of a kiss on the cheek situation and it was of course videoed, filmed and now that is a COVID breach and he has to isolate. He will be tested before he can

rejoin the squad. What were any of them thinking? Because if you're in any of that lockdown mode, you're not hugging anyone. Well, they're not allowed to breach their bubbles. No. Their bubbles are the team's and the team's immediate families. Right.

So it's kind of like, and then I guess it gets to the weekend and they play a whole lot of other people and smash into them and the bubble gets bigger. Yeah. Then the week after that, they play a whole lot of other people and smash into them and the bubble gets bigger. Yeah. Then the week after that, they play a whole lot of other people and that's how that bubble gets bigger and bigger. Oh, yeah. Because that's what happened before lockdown with the NBA.

One player had it, the guy that joked about it and coughed into the microphone as a joke. That's right. And then he played this team and then that team played three more teams and his team played three more teams and it could have just absolutely torn through. Here's the video of the arrival. Now you tell me, upon reading it, I think she's made out to be the bad guy, but you watch, he is on the way into training.

Right. To the script. You watch. Oh yeah, it's his fault. He leans in. He leans in. It's his fault. It's his fault. And then immediately after, she's like.

She puts her hand up. She's like, what have you done? What's happening? I didn't like, almost like I didn't. They made that out like she kissed him on the cheek, but he leaned in for that. He leaned in for a hello. I was imagining. She didn't even lean in at all.

A very familiar face. It's going to be more trouble for him when he gets home. He'll be like, why are you leaning in to kiss that reporter? Well, it's his fault, isn't it? Yeah, he's going to be in trouble when he gets home now. You burst your bubble after you kiss that reporter. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast, ZM. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six.

Hi, guys. Hi. Hi. Welcome to the Top Six. Hi, guys. Hi. Hi. Welcome to the Top Six. There's been a, I guess you'd call it a stock take on New Zealand public hospitals. Kind of looking into the state of New Zealand public hospitals. It's not good, guys. Right.

How many plasters do we have? Oh, we're all out. It's BYO plasters. Oh. How many plasters do we have? Oh, we're all out. It's BYO plasters. The main tower block at Nelson Hospital and the special care baby unit at Waitakere Hospital, where my daughter spent the second week of her life, are some of the worst conditions of any hospital buildings in New Zealand, a nationwide hospital stock take has shown.

I was born in that Nelson Hospital. It probably hasn't changed much since then. No. Should I have put a mop over it or anything? Hope so. There are 24 such buildings that are especially poor conditioned in the first stock take. A hospital lab in Ashburton,

the mental health unit Tamaki Oranga in Otara, and a 5,000 square metre Otara spinal unit round out the top five worst condition clinical services buildings. Now these are like earthquake risk, asbestos. Oh, what? Fire separation problems. Oh, that's not good. Yeah.

And then there's, you know, the condition of the buildings and the condition of the bits and pieces. Many district health boards were managing significant levels of asbestos problems. Asbestos. Most of them relate to friable asbestos lagging of pipes. So they put it around the pipes to keep the pipes fireproof because that is one thing asbestos is good at.

Yeah, right. Killing you slowly with its song. Yeah. Killing you slowly with its song. Its. Killing you slowly with its song. Its song. And protecting things from fire. Yeah. So there's still quite a bit of that going on.

Fire separation doors sometimes just don't exist. So it's not good. But I've got the top six things, the other things uncovered in the public hospital stop take. Okay. Number six. If you wondered where everything was disappearing to, they found a little rat's hospital under the hospital. Are there other things uncovered in the public hospital stop take? Okay. Number six. If you wondered where everything was disappearing to,

they found a little rat's hospital under the hospital. It's basically like a hospital. Do they have nurses' uniforms? Yeah, they do. And they hold the scalpel with two hands. Yeah. And saw it. Like they're old-tim is cutting a tree down.

Yeah. The good news is, though, if they die, the rats, if they don't make it, they get recycled in the rat hospital cafeteria. Cute. That's good. Cute. What?

It's cute that they're eating each other. Oh, no, it's cute that they have their own hospital. Oh, all right. Number five on the list of the top six things uncovered in the public hospital stop take. The surgeon's knives are steak knives that they bought from home. And before surgery, every time they just run it, run it through one of those sharpeners

that suction cups to the fridge that you see on the infomercials. I've always wanted one of those. I thought it was like a serrated steak knife. They are. They really have to get through there. I've got a handheld one of those sharpeners. Oh, okay.

They're real good. From the infomercial? No, I just saw mine and I bought it. Yeah, right. I didn't get the suction one on the infomercial looks good though. But I quite like having kind of blunt knives because I'm always nicking my fingers. Oh, right. So it's fine for me because it's kind of like a safety thing.

Yeah. It's like a blunt razor when you suddenly get a new one. You're like. Yeah, you're just like zip, zip, zip, zip, slice. Graded half my face off. Number four on the list of the top six things uncovered in the public hospital stop. Take the ventilators, you know, the help they would breathe. Yep.

I just old leaf. You already know what breathing is. I was showing you the ventilator, you know, they help people breathe. Yep. I just old leaf. You already know what breathing is. I was showing you the ventilator going. Oh, okay. The ventilators are just old leaf blowers that they rev up and down. Here it comes again. That's why it slightly tastes like two stroke.

Right. Number three on the list of the top six things uncovered in the public hospital stock take. The beeping on the heart monitors is just a nurse pressing the landline phone numbers. Beep. Beep. Beep.

God, our hospitals are dire. What if you go to the toilet? Well, that's what they do on the toilet. Yeah. So your job is when you're on the toilet is to go. It's like a keyboard of phones around you and you have to sit there going. Number two on the list of the top six things uncovered in the public hospital stock take. Most of the pills that they have at the hospital are just those sugar pills left over from your packet of the pill.

Oh, yeah. You know, the ones for sugar pills left over from your packet of the pill. Oh, yeah. You know, the ones for the seven days that you don't take the pill. They just ask all the nurses and doctors and female staff to bring in the leftovers. Nice. And then they dish those out, mostly just to the people they think are faking, though. And number one on the list of the top six things

uncovered in the public hospital stock take, the fluid in the IV drip. That's just water. Straight out of the tap. Tap water. Yeah, they used to fill that up from the top. Great. It's not great news if you saw the tap either.

That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. This is for New Zealand women. Yes. We generate less travel-related greenhouse gas emissions than you guys do. Amen. Ooh. The study that's done in New Zealand is between 2002 and 2014.

I actually, between that period, I walked to work. It took me 40 minutes to walk to work and 40 minutes to walk home. How often did you do that? Every day. No, remember when you lived just down the road from work and you still drove? Yeah, no. Because I had high heels on. You walked when you lived in, what have you?

No, when I lived in Parnell, I walked to this. Oh, when you walked. When I worked at this company. Right, okay. It was like 40 minutes. Was it? Yeah. Can't imagine you doing that.

Yeah, not anymore. I used to be one of those people that wear sneakers and then change my shoes out when I got to work. Oh, okay, right. Did you say weird sneakers just then? Wear sneakers. Oh, I thought you said I was one of those people that wear sneakers. Yeah, no, I think I might have said weird.

That's good stuff. Weird sneakers. Wow, okay. Cool. So they have found out in the study that women don't cycle as much as men. So that's not the preferred mode of transport. 2% of women cycle and 5% of men do. But women still use the most diverse transport options. They prefer to walk or do public transport.

Okay. So women take more trips but travel less distance per day and yeah, we're more likely to walk than men. So is this just

your personal mode of transport to work or is it? Because what about like... It's general travelling in your day. Right, okay. Because I was going to say

like men would be more represented in industries like truck driving, for example, wouldn't they? So then their output emissions would be higher, wouldn't they? That's true. But this is just getting to work. Yeah. Also couldn't imagine you cycling to work. I know.

Part of the study has said they need to figure out ways to make cycling more appealing to women. I'm just like, I can't. Well, you've got to find a bike that works with your petticoat. It's a simple answer. Invent a bike with a step through and you've got yourself a sweet little lady bike. You're just like, don't hit that thing, don't hit that thing, don't hit the thing. Hit the thing. Every time.

I find it really hard to steer them. There's a bike lane up when we're leaving work and there's that bike lane up there. Yeah. I see a fair portion of females riding bikes on that, I think. Well, there's still 2% of females do cycle. Right. But, and I mean, to be fair, it's only 3% difference between men and women cycling.

Okay. But it's just not as, it's not the preferred mode of transport for women. Well, okay. So they've asked the question, they need to make it more appealing to women. What would make it more appealing to you, to bike, to work?

No, nothing. It's got no interest. E-bikes made cycling more appealing to kind of everybody, right? Because there's less effort. See, I don't represent every woman, of course, but I, like today, I'm wearing a short skirt. Unless I wear a change of clothes,

and then it's admin. You'd have frostbite when you got to work. I'm a foo. Yeah. Yeah. It's not for me. Oh, yeah, you'd need a pair of bike pants with a chamois cloth in it. I'd need to wear pants every day because the risk of me coming off the bike is high.

High. Yeah. So, yeah, it's just not for me. That's all right. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Blackout. This is why. Blackout movie. This is why.

Fat. This is why. Fat. This is why. This is why. This is why. Fat. Well, this is why I'm fat, a segment of the show where we take a look at new food items or trends.

And a photo out of Australia yesterday going viral online. You may have seen this pop up last night. Some people questioning its authenticity. That's what I was going to say. Are we sure it hasn't been faked up? Well, the post, the photo shows a block of initially what looks like caramilk, if you were just glancing, but on closer inspection, it is a block of caramilk.

Hokey pokey. If I was in R&D, research and development, for any food place like a chocolate company, I would leak things that looked a bit photoshopped and then see how crazy it went on the internet. Yeah, gauge them. And then be like, okay, people went crazy, let's do it. And if it didn't make a big splash, I wouldn't, you know. Maybe that's what they do.

I reckon. The reason people are saying it's Photoshopped is because the packaging is a bit munted. Like it's just a bit crinkled. Right. But I don't think the font looks Photoshopped on there. No, someone could have made the packaging, but it looks like it's been made, but they could have Photoshopped it, made it, printed it out, put it on there. Nah, someone could have made the packaging but it looks like it's been made but they could have photoshopped it, made it, printed it out, put it on there. Yeah, well, anyway, people

who had messaged Cadbury including news organisations news.com.au contacted Caramilk and Cadbury Australia and they said they can't confirm or deny,

but hokey pokey caramilk does sound amazing. Yeah. But all of the leaks we've had in the past have happened. Like, do you remember when the marble was making a comeback? The marble chocolate? Yeah. Yes. And they were like, oh, we can't confirm anything.

But then that's the other part about it. That gets the people. That gets the people going, doesn't it? It gets them talking. Yeah, it gets them hyped up. It's the jazz. But how do we, so that would be like little crunchy bar bits in your caramilk. That'd be yum.

I was trying to think of better bits you could put in a caramilk, but I can't. That'd be, yeah. It's not very, yeah, I mean, it's not a big chunky chocolate bar, is it, to be putting bits in? It'll just be teeny tiny, like smashed up bits of hokey pokey. Yeah, right. Like smaller than your hokey pokey nugget in a hokey pokey ice cream. Yep. Little shards. Does it need to be sweeter though?

No. Not something anybody has ever said when they're eating caramu. Man, I wish this was sweeter. This is why. Fact. This is why. Fact. This is why. This is why. This is why. Fact. ZM's Fletch, Vaugh this was sweeter.

In the news, the Singapore Airlines flight attendants. Singapore Airlines have just started flights back into New Zealand in these COVID times. And this looks like it's come to light because an Auckland woman wanted to see her friend who's a Singapore Airlines flight attendant. So much like travellers who come into the country, they are being quarantined in a hotel. But some are saying this is like prison-like

conditions because upon returning to the country, the flight attendants and pilots are whisked away to an airport hotel. And then they are not allowed to leave their room or even see other crew. And their meals are left at their door for three days. And then they get back on the bus to the airport, get on the plane and fly back. Whoa.

Why can't they see the other flight attendants? Because surely they are in their bubble. Well, yeah, but I guess they've only been in the bubble for that flight, haven't they? And they might not be, you know, close enough to transmit, but then if you're hanging out for three days in a room, you would be. Right. But then they're going to get on a plane again with you.

I know, and then they're going to leave. Yeah. So it's... At least let them hang out with each other. Yeah. Well, what's the... Does it say what the punishment is if they have a little sneaky... It's definitely a little sneaky rendezvous.

Because, you know, sometimes you've got those hotel rooms and they'll have an adjoining door. And if you both open it from both sides... Oh, yeah, right. Okay. I thought you were just going to knock on the door and just hope someone was on the other side. Oh, right.

I was saying if it was someone from your work. Oh, right, okay. But yeah, apparently they can't even get any exercise, fresh air, or even use the hotel gym. So that's pretty horrible. You've got to think about that when you're... But then would you rather struggle through that for a while or not have a job?

Because that's the other thing. How many people have just lost their jobs working for airlines? And I mean, we're not going to be happy to be COVID free. None of us want to see flight attendants or crew walking around the city, do we? No. That have just come from a COVID country. Yeah. It's not like in those 1950s TV shows where the flight attendants are walking through

and you're all like, how glamorous do they look? What a life up there in the sky. Now you'd see them and you'd be like, what are they doing out? Put them somewhere. Lock them up. They've got the vid. Yeah. I was just looking.

I looked up Singapore flight attendees. Yeah. And I came across a Wikipedia article called The Singapore airlines. Flight attendees. And I came across a Wikipedia article called the Singapore Girl. Okay, that's what they call them, isn't it? The Singapore Girl. Yes, because they all and they call it apparently the Singapore Girl because for like the last 40 odd years they could have just been the same person.

Very little. Was there a rumour that they, once you get to a certain age, they just get rid of you? Was it Singapore Airlines that had the really strict criteria? Yeah, I've got the list of the recruitment criteria. Do they still do this? I thought they'd moved on from this because it's not. No, it's the prestige of the job.

Okay, well, let's see if I'd be a Singapore Airlines flight attendant. Flight attendant of height requirement of 165 for males and 158 for females. You have to be a minimum of. Oh, okay, that's me. You're that tall? I'm 165. Okay, you can just

stand on the seat to get the suitcases in the overhead. That's to ensure that they're tall enough for the heavy overhead compartments in the cabin. It also requires flight attendants to colour their hair black or dark brown, and they cannot use highlights. What about baldies? No baldies? Oh, I don't know.

So you're out, Megan. No, I've got, I can get rid of my highlights. Okay. There's no mince and cheese on Singapore Airlines. This isn't Christchurch Airlines. Mince and cheese is coming back.

It is. Are you kidding me? There's mince and cheese back. There's some bloody good because there's some girls in Shirley

that never got rid of it. Kylie Jenner's doing mince and cheese at the moment. It's just brown hair with like blonde bits at the front. Flight attendants with long hair

have to coil it into buns or French twists. Male flight attendants are to have short hairdos above their collar lines and sideburns no longer than the air lobes. Fringes can't touch your eyebrows. We haven't got any of those, so you're alright. I'll just

pilot it. That's just my white privilege speaking there. Assuming I'll be pilot. Eyebrows must be shaped, cannot be fake or tattooed. Eyeshadow must be of the colour prescribed by the company, either blue or brown, depending on skin tone. So many rules. What, did you say eyeshadow?

Yeah. No dangly earrings, only studs or pearls. I feel attacked. Lipstick colour must be among a few shades of bright red prescribed by the company. No pink or plum shades.

Okay, so they're telling people to wear blue eyeshadow and bright red lipstick. I don't even want to be a Singapore girl. That's ugly. No chains or necklaces. Only simple bracelets

and rings can be worn. Anything on the list do they get rid of you when you're 25 or something? Nail polish must be bright red. No, I think that's one of the unwritten rules. Nail polish must be bright red. Is this the 1950s? The nails should not be chipped.

Toenails must be the bright red colour as well. What? Otherwise, they must not be seen. Oh. Wow. Wow. Yeah. And safety shoes or covered sandals must be worn during. Oh. Wow. Wow. Yeah. And safety shoes

or covered sandals must be worn during takeoff and landing. At other time, you can wear your slippers, your Bartik slippers. Do you know what those are? No.

They're an Indonesian style slipper. So that's why they specify the toenail polish. Yeah, because if you're going to wear the slippers, the toes are going

to be popping out. Right. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. It's Polly, Molly, Molly, Molly,. It's Polly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly. Polly, Molly, Molly, Molly. Come on.

So our Polly, Molly today is text message etiquette. We had a bunch of questions on our Instagram stories and we have received your answers. The first question was, is it okay to deliver bad news over text, over message. No, it's not. Only 23% have done it. That doesn't mean it's acceptable.

You shouldn't be doing that. That's a quarter of the population, though. Well, this one kind of explains it. I guess you'd count this as bad news. Have you ever broken up with someone over text? Okay. 25% said yes. So, again, that's the 25%.

Yeah. They have no problem doing that. 75% said never. Okay. At least do a FaceTime. Or at least message them saying, I've got some bad news. I'll give it to you in person.

So you're prepping them. I've got some bad news. We need to have a talk. I've got some bad news. Yeah, you always prep when we need to have a talk. I think you know where this is going. But we need to talk in person. Because otherwise when you get there, there's no, you need them to be prepped for something.

You don't want them turning up being all happy and bringing donuts because then you can't break up with them. And then there's no good moment. Yeah. Yeah. Next question. One paragraph text or 20 individual texts? See, I do both of these things, but I'm probably more of a point, send, make a point or a sentence and then send.

I'm like, I need to keep their attention, so I send them that. Rather than sitting there typing out a whole big long message, I'm like, hit them with the first point, send the second point. And then like, instead of using full stops. Unless it's a big gosset and you need a write-up. Oh, and then you just bang. Yeah.

Bang, bang. But you'd still break it down into like chunks, wouldn't you? Yep. Yeah. So what did people go for there? 40% said they do a bunch. And 60% said they did one text. Oh, really?

Who are these people? Just one long. One people. See, it would have been more. Yeah. And you could like accidentally delete it. It would have been more. Yeah, and you could like accidentally delete it. It's like constantly saving. Write a line, send it, write a line,

send it, because if you write the big long paragraph it could, something could happen, it could all disappear. And I just don't use full stops anymore. It's just like enter. Nah, I use ha ha. Yeah, you do. As a full stop. I've just got to go to a funeral, ha ha. Yeah, see you guys later, ha ha.

Are you an avid emoji user? What does avid mean? It's a full stop. It's a full stop. I've just got to go to a funeral, ha ha. Ha ha ha. Yeah, see you guys later. Ha ha ha. Are you an avid emoji user? What does avid mean? Like, how much? Like, are you... I use them intermittently. Like, but I wouldn't use a bunch in one message. I'm pretty big on the laugh and cry face. Yeah, that's my number one.

Is that your number one emoji? Yeah. I'm going to check. Laughing, cry laughing face is my number one. On an angle or just the up and down one? No, but I've started using on an angle for something different. Yeah, change it up. I've gone back.

I've used on an angle. I've gone back to ordinary. I'll go the angle laugh cry face if it's real, real funny. Okay. And then my second top emoji is heart eyes. That just means I love that. That's good. My second one is this face. That just means, I love that. That's good. Heart eyes.

I've never received a heart eye from you. Who are you sending heart eyes to? Who are you sending heart eyes to? And, you know, the winky tongue out, that's my third. Those are my faves. My second one is face. Oh, yuck. Like dodgy face.

Yeah. Where's dodgy face? Oh, that one. The smirk. Mine's clap. Like, applause well done. That's just you replying to everyone because you can't be bothered. Trying to end the conversation. Yeah, no, that's just why I reply with woo!

Like that. Yeah, yeah. Hands up. And the last one, we asked a question. What is the most serious news you've received via text message? Some of the responses. My housemate moved to Perth while I was at uni and told me over text. Wow, that is someone that does not want confrontation. Surely you saw that coming in some, like,

at least they got a really good opportunity and just, like, upped and left. No, they didn't want to have to pay bond or do extra cleaning or something. Yeah. My fiance dumped me after five years together. On text? On text message. No, that's not cool.

No, you're going to hunt them down and get closure on that. My boyfriend brought a house for us while I was on holiday. Oh, okay. Would you be mad? Yes, because you want to... But surely they know your taste.

Do they? I don't know. You're about to find out. You're about to find out, yeah. I mean, should that is a decision you should make, especially if you're paying for half of it. I'd be like, you bought the house by yourself. You move all our stuff in by yourself.

Yeah. Got fired from a job over text message. Is that legal? I wouldn't have thought so. I wouldn't have thought so either. No. You're a small business owner. Your cafe, could you fire someone over text? No. No. Sounds easier though, doesn't it?

It does. And less confrontation. And then you'd finish with ha ha and then blah blah. And they'd be like, are they kidding or what? This is my job. I was proposed to over text message once. They say over text message once, so they didn't say yes. Okay, good.

I mean, they didn't follow through. And the last one was casserole for dinner. What? Serious news you've had over text message. They were told there was going to be casserole for dinner. Yuck. I'll just say, no, I'll bring home takeaways. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. Nice thought. Interesting. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. New ads doing the round about being safe online, particularly aimed at parents with kids that are starting to traverse the dangerous world of the internet alone. There's different categories

of these ads. You'll see them on, they popped up, I saw it on TV, I've seen it online since. Yep. There's a bullying one. Yep.

There's sort of a grooming one where you're a teenager or tween. Do they still say tween? Pre-teens? Might be talking to people online and they might be lying about who exactly they are. Yeah, right. And kind of what your younger kids are watching on YouTube and what the next video might be, what it links to.

One of the interesting ones, though, one of the most interesting ones, is the one about porn. And it features two porn stars knocking on the door of the home of a young man that's about to settle in. They're naked. Yes, to view some porn and this is them knocking on the door naked. Hiya, I'm Sue. This is Derek. We're here

because your son just looked us up online. You know, to watch us. Matt! Matt, darling, there's some people here to see you. So he watches you online? Yeah, you know, to watch us. Matt! Matt, darling, there's some people here to see you! So he watches you online? Yeah, you know, on his laptop. iPad, PlayStation. His phone, your phone. Smart TV projector.

Yeah, anyway, we usually perform for adults, but your son's just a kid. He might not know how relationships actually work. We don't even talk about consent, do we? No, we just get straight to it. Yeah, and I'd never act like that in real life. Matt! Hey, Matty!

You all right? Dropping some cereal. Dropping a bowl of cereal. It's so well done, that one. A really good approach to a really important topic. If you haven't seen that ad, it's on our Insta story, FVMZM, if you want to catch up on that. Yeah.

It's so well done. Yeah, a touch of humour, a touch of awkwardness, but dealing with a pretty important subject because there's some shocking stats. I don't have any on hand, but I remember reading an article once, some shocking stats about at what age the average internet user first sees

something of a pornographic nature. It's quite young. You're the only one here with kids, but you're going to have to have a chat about, like, because even the ad where she's watching rabbit videos and then it goes on to hunting rabbits. We've had that with the videos, yeah, that you can start on a video.

There's YouTube kids and anything that goes on YouTube kids has to be filtered. Right. And it can only get on there if it's kid-friendly. But then like happens on the ad, they put on a, what are they, a child filter? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A child safety filter on the devices that the kids watch on it. So we've had that.

But Vaughn, my child definitely doesn't watch any porn online. They probably do. There's definitely parents out there that just are quite ignorant to what they... It'll be interesting though because like our generation, computers were all new to our parents. Yeah. We were far wiser as to how to use them and how to be a bit sneakier about it than our parents' generation.

But then this generation that's coming into it now, the parents have only of an own life with computers. Yeah. So, you know, we'll know how it works. Yeah, you're well-versed on all that kind of stuff. We've got to set up Net Nanny. So Net Nanny. And some firewalls.

I don't know, I'm just saying things. I don't know how they work. But then, like, the idea of this ad, all of these ads, is that you don't shut it off and make it an overly taboo subject. You've got to talk to them about it. Because they'll find a way. Yeah, yeah. If it's not at your house, it might go somewhere else

where it's not as tight security. And then you're getting a call from the public library and you've got to go down there and explain why you couldn't just talk to your kids and have them use the internet at home go down there and explain why you couldn't just talk to your kids and have them use the internet at home. I love in all the ads, the parents calmly talk to their kids. It's like, no, that door would be shut

and you'd be getting screamed at. The bullying one. He's like, oh, your words have hurtful effects. You imagine that your parents would have dealt with you if they'd found out you'd been bullying someone. What have you been saying all night? I would have been bullied by my parents into why bullying's a bad idea.

Executive Intern Anya, is it true that your friend auditioned for the Pornstar ad about being safe online? Yes. And it was going to be, I think it's going to be over a year that this campaign is happening. Oh, no.

So she auditioned and then obviously didn't get the part but I think there was a thought along the way of like do I want to be the face of children watching porn for a year and then possibly be on the internet. But money, money, money. Do what you gotta do. It's the kid that drops the bowl of cereal that's gotta go to school.

Oh yeah. That I feel sorry for. Yeah, he might have to refer to the bullying ad. Very Oh yeah That I feel sorry for Yeah I hope he has Referred to the bullying ad Very well Financially Renumerated Yeah

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan The podcast ZM Hospitals In New Zealand Are gonna need Approximately 14 billion dollars

To Get everything up to scratch Right Buildings etc Fair bit of asbestos Hanging around Like that's to get everything up to scratch. Right. Buildings, et cetera. A fair bit of asbestos hanging around. That's so crazy. I laugh because it's so ridiculous. You hear about how dangerous asbestos is,

but it's in some of the hospitals. The places we're trying to mend ourselves in. Yeah. And just some of the buildings aren't earthquake-proof, et cetera, et cetera. Just love the idea that all the hospitals had to do a stock take, like the supermarket.

Do you remember, like, because is it different now? But I just remember, like, my friends that worked at supermarkets hated it because they all had to spend, like, a whole night counting chocolate bars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they put a little sticker and write how many there were, jot it down. Yeah. But surely it's all electronic now.

Well, I don't know because it was probably even electronic then had been scanned in because it's to work out how much has been pinched. And stuff, yeah. Yeah. But this was a building stock taken with that big bill mounting. I was thinking one way that we could save the health system a bit of money is if everybody returns stuff that they got when they were ill. And then they're just like, oh, yeah, I'll take that back one day.

And now it's just maybe in the garage. Yeah, Megan. I took back those crutches. Did you? That was also a private hospital. Wasn't it? No, it was Rotorua Hospital. Oh, that's right.

No, sorry. So you drove all the way. You pay a bond. Yeah. But did you drive to Rotorua to drop them back? No. Where'd you drop them? I gave them to someone who said theyorua to drop them back? No. Where'd you drop them? I gave them to someone who said they were going to take them back for me.

What did they do with the bond? Oh, I didn't really. It was $20. Maybe they got it. They kept the bond for their troubles. I think you needed paperwork too and I don't know where that ended up. Right. So you just returned the bond.

Right. It's like trying to get your coat out from the club but you've lost the ticket. Yeah. Honestly, it's my jacket Is there still coat checks at the club? I haven't been to the club lately I don't know Are they still checking the coat? Yeah some do

I don't think I've ever checked a coat at the club You don't wear a coat to the club What if it's cold out? Overseas you do Because it's like snowy and cold It's cold in the club You wear a coat You just get out and cold. It's cold in the club. You wear a coat. You're like, excuse me.

You just get out of the Uber and get straight in the club. He's like, excuse me, good sir. Well, no, I'm ugly. I have to wait in a queue. And then they sent me home because my shoes weren't right. So it was cold. This is why you hate the club, isn't it? One of the many reasons.

But you think about that. If everybody kept stuff from hospital. Yeah. Because do some people get to take home a BP machine? No. No. I think if they're sending you home and you're on a BP machine, they don't send the BP machine,

maybe you're not going back to hospital again. Right, okay. But, you know, there's people at home who have relatives maybe who had certain equipment at home and then they pass and then you don't end up taking it back and you've got

grandad's walker, hospital issue walker. Goes in the garage. It all adds up. All adds up. Oh yeah, it all adds up. It all adds up. I'd like to know, listening right now, What have you got At home Medical equipment Do you have any hospital equipment

At home That you shouldn't have That you could possibly return Like a little amnesty now I think there should be an amnesty Let's just do A little stock take and see What we've got

As a nation Yeah Cause there'd be crutches I'm just trying to think What else would you What else would you have There'd be wheelchairs Are you sure they don't give you

A beeping machine I'm pretty sure I bet there's someone With it. Crutches galore. What else would you have? Maybe wheelchairs? Are you sure they don't give you a beeping machine? I'm pretty sure they don't. I bet there's someone with a beeping machine. I mean, the beeping machines are on wheels, but they're those little wheels that can only go on the lino. What about one of those drip things on wheels? Oh, yeah. Someone's got to have one of those.

Maybe someone could have been parked up at home with a drip. That's more easily believable than that. They're coming back for that, though, surely. They're coming back. Do you reckon they'll come back for the bag, refill the bag, use the bag again, or is that a single-use bag? No, I think it's a single-use bag. Right, okay. I always thought one of those would be great for hangovers.

Imagine being hungover and trying not to spew, and then you have to put the thing in your eye. Oh yeah, I couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it. You get all woozy and pass out. Okay, so on the back of this hospital stock take, we would like you to call us now and tell us what medical equipment you have

outstanding in your possession at home. And we can be anonymous. Like a library book that you never returned. Yeah, but hospital equipment. Yeah. All right, talking about the stock take that happened with our hospitals, $14 billion it's going to cost to fix everything.

And we're talking now about that medical equipment that you've got at your house that you probably should have given back. So somebody said... I told you people would have some pretty cool stuff. Yes. I had some texts in. Crutches.

So many pairs. I have no idea how or why. We just never seemed to return them, and then somebody else would hurt their legs, and we'd get another pair. Also, an obscene amount of scissors. The silver type that they use, those really ones that they cut through bandage with.

Oh, yeah. My mum's a bit on the klepto side when it comes to new scissors for all of her crafts. Oh, my God. Surely when someone hurts their leg, and they're at the hospital, and they're cutting your home, you can be like, actually, I've got some.

You keep those. And then when you get home, you get the crutches out of the cupboard. Yeah. Don't keep collecting them. You've used them. They're your crutches. You're used to them. Yeah. Yeah.

Someone asks, are we meant to return moon boots? No, I don't think so. Oh, because they get a little manky, don't they? They get a little manky and sweaty. Yeah. But then maybe just a detour bath. I mean, we're $14 billion in the hole, guys. We should be reusing some stuff.

Yeah. Well, a detour, yeah. A detour bath for a movie. Most things can be detoured. Yeah. I think we'll look into that. That's a good one. Like a sterilisation company.

Keep your calls, your texts coming in. 0800-DARN-ZM-LIZZO-ZM. Fletchhorn and Megan, we are talking about a lot of words put together there. The hospital equipment you still have at home. Yeah.

And you shouldn't have. $14 billion it's going to cost to get the hospitals up to scratch, the buildings. So we thought maybe we could set an amnesty to return some of that so they can just reuse those things

and not have to buy all the new ones. Some text machine. Text messages. Is there carbon dioxide? Too much carbon dioxide in here? Can we open a window? Yeah. If any of us see a ghost it's definitely just carbon dioxide.

Is that what happens with carbon dioxide? Do you see ghosts? Yeah. It's very hot in here though. Is that what happens with carbon dioxide? Do you see ghosts? Yeah. It's very hot in here, though. Have they upped the air con? I think it's hot, and that's how you know it's hot. We are being minoxided. Okay, so you know what it is?

The air conditioning vents next to the mail room, and that's where all the couriers park their vans. And they don't stop. When they come in, they leave the van running. It gets sucked into the air con. We're getting all the. And we're getting gassed. Slowly.

By a Toyota HiAce. What a way to go. Who knew? Who knew? Somebody said, I've got a breast pump machine. I didn't have me one. I didn't have one. What's going on?

I can't even read. I didn't have one. Does it say, I didn't have me one? They gave me another one is what it read. I didn't have one. Does it say I didn't have me one? They gave me another one is what it says. I didn't have me one. I'm imagining it's a pirate. Hey, I didn't have me one. And now I've got me another one.

And then another person said, oh, we bought you the breast pump machine. And I was a new mother. I just assumed it was one for each, one for each nanga. But then when I took one back, I said, I'm making do with one. And they said, have you got two, have you? And they said, well, I did.

And then the whole maths thing just blew them away and they never asked for the second one back. Oh, okay. Janelle, what medical equipment do you still have at home? I have some crutches outstanding. Oh, okay. Now, see this is, Jan know when it's going to cost $14 billion to fix the hospital?

It's because you've stolen crutches. No, she was given them. I was quite young. Okay, and you don't need them anymore? Well, I had no reconstruction and so I now need it on the other leg and they're the really comfy ones so that I can justify it on the other leg, and they're the really comfy ones, so that's how I justify it to myself.

Right. Okay. And did you have to pay a bond on those? Yeah, I think they were $20. Maybe they need to up the bond. I think they did like $100. Yeah, a laziness is not worth $20. You know?

I'd definitely bring it back for more money. Yeah. What made them comfy, the comfy crutches? They have the, like, the hand molds, but the ones now, they're just the standard ones with the big blisters. I've never used crutches, but I've always seen those ones, and they do look more comfy. You're right.

The hand mold ones. Yeah. Janelle, thanks for your call. Annie, what hospital equipment do you have? I have a BiPAP machine, which belonged to my dad. Right. And does it beep? Yep, well it makes an annoying noise at night. Oh right, okay. And so was there a bond on that or? No, they just gave it to my dad when he went into hospital. Oh my god, so you've just got this breathing machine? Yeah. Oh no no. Well, we've got to get that back, Annie,

because we're $14 billion down. Yeah, is someone going to take it for me? I don't want to drive there. No, do that thing they do in the movies when someone gets shot. They just push them out the passenger door outside the emergency department and drive off. Oh, yeah, no, I'll do that.

I'll just throw it. It's worth about $3,500. Yeah, I was going to say, how do you throw it? Just place it. Just place it, yeah. no, I'll do that. I'll just throw it. It's worth about $3,500. Yeah, I was going to say, how do you throw it? Just place it. Just place it, yeah. Place it at the... I reckon if you called them,

they'd come and get it. For $3,500. Well, they keep ringing me. Oh, they keep ringing... Okay, so at this stage, it's stolen. At this stage, you're harbouring stolen equipment. You've got to get it back, Annie,

because it's going to cost $14 billion to fix the hospitals. That's not the only thing I've still got. I've also got his walker. Jeez, you've got a whole bloody geriatric ward. Okay, so we could easily fix... I pretty much have, yeah. We could fix Nelson Hospital if you just return those things.

Yeah, I could. I could help. Why can't I? Annie, thanks for your call. Thanks. Corey, what do you have, medical equipment-wise? I've got a stethoscope. I had a kidney taken out years ago, and when they discharged me,

they said, oh, well, you might need this, and gave it to me. And I don't know why. There's no point in me listening to my own heartbeat. And a few months after that, a friend of mine, she came around and she was training to be a nurse and she said, what have you got this for? And I said, well, they just gave it to me. She said, it's like 90 or 100 bucks.

Yeah. They've just given them away. You might need this for your kidney? Yeah, was this hospital doing a gift with surgery or something? Bizarre. Well, they gave me, you say gift with surgery or something. Bizarre. Well, they gave me, you say gift with surgery, they actually gave me like some hand lations

and boy's soap for having a kidney taken out. Corey, brilliant. Thanks for your call. Ashley, your sister's got some medical equipment. Yeah, she's got my grandfather's fake leg still. Was that like, but who owns that? The hospital or your granddad?

I'm pretty sure the hospital because it was just like a stock standard like fake leg for when he had his leg amputated. Like it wasn't specially made. So they're not like specially made. I was going to say like, what if you get a stock standard leg, but it's an inch short?

Nah, his one wasn't. He had like, it came with like a special like insert. Okay. That was like for him, but the actual leg itself, she still has all of that too. So it's like when you've got a wobbly table, you wind those things on the bottom and it just gives you. She uses it for her doggy bags by the door now, for when she goes, she just pulls one out of the leg.

Oh, the diving pool bag. Oh my God, put that on Pinterest, Ashley. That's a great idea for storing plastic bags. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty freaky too. That's brilliant.

I'd imagine prosthetics would have advanced quite a bit since granddad's time. I thought you were about to say have prostitutes advanced. I'm sure they have as well. Don't be happy with what you've achieved. Always aim for the next

thing. Prosthetics. Prosthetics. Yeah. Even if you returned it, they probably wouldn't have any use for it. Because it's what, an old model? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, he died 10 years ago, so I don't think she's going to return it ever. Yeah, they're definitely onto the leg 10 pro now.

Yeah. Leg 10 pro now yeah yeah like 10 pro like an eye why did you make it sound like a dildo or something i was trying to make it sound like an iphone oh no you both are the dirty ones that went there i was thinking iphone protein you wouldn't want that thing leg-sized. It's not dirty. I don't know. No, no, shame in it. Yeah, don't bloody kink shame us. It's not dirty.

It's a tool of pleasure. Yeah, exactly. Just like the leg is a tool of movement. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. Hey, you on the fauna. I can guess your mum's name. All right.

This is how this works. If you've never heard this ridiculous segment before, it's I ask five questions and during which, today I don't have a pen, so I've got to do it on my computer. Drop my lippy. I, um, no, that will be. Why don't we have a, why don't we get Jared to go into the safe and get one of his pack and save pens.

Look at his code. What's his code? Oh, no, he blocked it. Oh, he's even doing the shoulders up. He blocked it completely. Producer Jared has a safe at work for his pens and his vape juice. Here you go. Now, he stole these when he worked at Pack and Save.

Apparently. Oh, that's a beautiful pen. Oh, that's full yellow. That's a beautiful pen. That's a good pen. That's a big pen. Pack and Save Albany. Ooh la la.

And then. Why are you surprised? He's South African. Oh, yeah. It's a sure boy. He's not Royal Oakpack and so is he. What would he be doing on that side of the bridge? Madness.

It's not transparent on the bottom half. It's just all yellow the whole way. Okay, well Grace joins us. Good morning, Grace. Good morning. How are you guys? Well, Vaughan's very excited now because he's got a yellow pen. You too. And it's one of those fine tipped Bic pens. You can he's got a yellow pen. You too. And it's one of those fine-tipped Bic pens.

Oh, yes. You can't go past a good pen. You can't go past a good pen. Exactly. That's why people steal pens, because they find a good one. They find a good one. Now, Grace, Warner's going to ask you five questions about your mum and then has 15 seconds to guess your mum's name.

And roll those around in the brain. Here's one we've never asked before. Would you find your mum's name in the Bible? Probably. Yeah. Oh, that is a good one because then it's like a common indication. Yeah. That's an indication. Like I said, you chuck a scent in front of it and it would sound

But I don't know all the names in the Bible. Neither. Is it like Elizabeth? Matthew. Matthew's in there. Matthew 14, 18, 21. But her mum's not Matthew. No, but it was an example. I'm guessing her mum isn't. You said a phase or something.

I don't know. What are the female names in there? Yeah. Mary. Mary. That's right. Mary 14, 22, 18. What's another one?

Thou shall not eat chocolate before bed. That's Mary's phone number, not a Bible verse. Yeah, Mary 021-774-688. Oh, what a Bible verse. Okay, so Bible, so you're giving that a probable. I'm going to get that. Okay, I got it. I just got the old Bible situation.

What are mum's siblings' names? She's got a sister called Alison. She's got one sister and her name is Alison. It's not Alison Goffton, is it? No. It's not Alison Holst, is it? No, no. She lives in the UK.

I'm out of famous New Zealanders called Alison. Yeah. New Zealanders that ran the New York Marathon and won called Alison. Beep.

Alison Rowe. You've beat the chaser. Vaud has a dream to be on the chase, doesn't he? Yeah, it would be fun. But then I think the pressure would be too much and I'd crumble. Yeah. I'd do a poor cash gathering round.

Probably going to get back there with a thousand pounds. I just want to get like heaps in that first bit. Yeah, I don't go for the high one. You're only on the chase at once. Yeah. Hit it. Yeah. Anyway, Grace stands by as we.

How many questions? How many kids does your mother have? Like how many siblings do you have? I've got one brother. You've got one brother. Okay. What is that going to tell you about a name? Yeah, how does that help?

That two was enough. Have you got... It's all ingredients. Have you got another question? In this magical soup. One last one. What's your mum's favourite TV show? Oh.

Oh, it probably is actually The Chase. Yes, she's a good woman. She, it probably is actually The Chase. Yes, she's a good woman. She's a good woman. The Chase. Oh, I wonder what her favourite chaser is. How perfect, by the way, is the host Bradley Walsh? He's the right mix of authority and humour. And he keeps the show moving.

He really does. You know, he's on their team, but he's not really. He's just a great balance. He's just a great balance. He's just a great balance. All right, I think I'm ready. Are you in love with Bradley Walsh? Yep, absolutely. As a man of love.

All right, Grace. Vaughn now has 15 seconds to guess your mum's name. If he says your mum's name, please yell out, stop, that's my mum's name. Vaughn, your time starts now. Mary, Susan, Karen, Christine, Jennifer, Margaret, Deborah, Linda, Wendy, Elizabeth, Judy or Judith, Robin, Helen, Julie, Patricia, Sandra, Barbara,

Sharon, Diane, Carol, and Catherine. Sharon isn't in the Bible. Yeah, you didn't pick up the Bible name. And Sharon said to that. It was a probable. It was a probable. And I didn't know how verse grace was, so I chucked in a few. Yeah, the biggest clue ever.

The name's in the Bibble. The Bibble. The Bibble. So, what is your mum's name? Jane. Jane's not in the Bible. Jane's in the Bible. Jane's is likely to be in the Bible as Sharon is.

No, I Googled it. She's definitely in the Bible. And Jesus said to Sharon. Jane's in the Bible? No, you're confusing the Bible with Tarzan and Tarzan. Executive Intern Anya, did you go to a religious school? I did indeed. Yeah.

Okay, so is Sharon in the Bible? Not that I'm familiar with. Okay, is Jane in the Bible? Jane is in the Bible. Oh. As what? And you call yourself a good Catholic boy. I'm beginning to think that book might be made up.

Vaughan, please. Don't respect the Old Testament. I mean, you need to respect the Old Testament. But where does it come from in the – where is it used in the Bible? Well, either way, Grace, you've sadly lost today. Well, Vaughan has lost. Yeah, I've lost. Unable to guess your mum's name. Out of interest, what was your dad's name?

Peter. Jane and Peter. Peter. Peter and Jane. Jane and Peter. Yeah. Classic mum and dad names, aren't they? Fantastic. Yeah, Peter. Peter. Peter and Jane. Jane and Peter. Yeah. Classic mum and dad names, aren't they? Fantastic.

Yeah, they really are. Did you find a Bible verse for us? No. No. Okay, so not in the Bible then. Well, it means gracious and merciful, according to babynames.com. Yahweh is the name.

Yeah. So Yahweh is the name. Yeah. So Yahweh's, I believe that. I think it is. Look, Google's telling me yes. So Google knows the Bible better than anyone. Anyway, regardless, you lost. Does it? I mean, the Pope might have something to say about that, but.

Okay. Onward, Jane. Onward, Christian soldier. Megan. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Playing hard to get. It's a question. Should you do it?

Does it affect you? Is it effective? Should you play games in a relationship? I don't necessarily play... Wait, in a relationship? I always thought playing hard to get was pre-relationship. Yeah, it is. So I don't necessarily say play hard to get,

but I'm always like, if they don't chase you, then. Not worth it. Yeah, so I make them chase you and then, yeah. If they don't come, then they're not into it. Yeah. But playing hard to get specifically was what these people were looking into. And they actually did investigative work. Okay.

So the way they looked into this was they got a bunch of people to do an experiment. They thought they were talking to someone they were attracted to. Yeah. And they were actually talking to one of the people running the experiment. Oh, they were catfishing people to research them. So. Wow. They had two types of profiles.

One of the profiles was playing hard to get. Yeah. And the other was just a more friendly, approachable, pretty normal kind of person. Okay. The people who played hard to get, their profiles were rated as more desirable and valued across the board. So if you could put this to like Bumble, for example, or Tinder. I don't know how you put it in a profile.

How do you play hard to get in a profile? You just don't spell everything out? You're maybe a bit more mysterious? I don't know. Rather than saying straight away, we should have a drink or meet up, you just say,

oh, I might be free sometime. It would be less in the profile and more in the initial engagement, right? Right. When they chat to you. So they say,

hey, how's it going? You just say, I'll decide if I talk to you soon. I don't think you say it. Don't you just ignore them? At the end of the study,

they also need to note not to be too hard to get because some people will just be like, not worth it. Yeah, you just give up. And give up. So there's a fine line. So there's the perfect balance of being too hard to get. Yeah. But playing it hard to get, they found,

makes it seem as if you're more in demand. Oh, you've got to be like that booking website where there's like four... Everyone's looking at this hotel room. Yeah, yeah. There are only four rooms left. I'm a hotel room with a great deal. Yeah.

Someone in Wellington just booked me for next Wednesday. I freak you out. You're like, well, can I book for Thursday? You can try. Well, maybe that's what you could say to say I'm not free too much next week. Or yeah when they're trying to make a date

you'd be like oh sorry I can't make that time. So you still seem like interested but you're also in demand. Oh loose.

No you. I'm not calling you loose. I'm just saying this is a loose game. Right. Yeah. So yeah playing hard to get makes you seem

valuable, appealing and not too desperate. So there you go, Fletch. If you could stop acting like a thirsty dog, that would be beneficial to you. Jesus. Not that you have any trouble. You're doing it right for yourself, aren't you? Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The Podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, about M. Paul Kern, a Hungarian government official who during World War I, he was shot. Okay. And he was wounded in the head. He was shot by a Russian bullet. Okay. Eastern Front. Cold.

If you know anything about the Eastern Front, wars of World War I and II. In 1915, he was unconscious and he was transported to hospital. He was eventually transported back to Budapest. And when he opened his eyes, he never slept again. What? He lived for 40 more years and never slept, was never tired, never had the desire to sleep and couldn't sleep. How?

Something to do with his brain injury. He never needed to sleep? How did his brain and body rest? I don't know. Maybe he just sat down. And what does he do when everyone else is sleeping? Just chill out, watch Netflix or something. Because do you guys have those friends that just seem to survive on like three hours of

sleep? It's the genetic thing, right? And I don't know how they do it. Like, I only need about seven anymore and I just wake up or I'm too tired from too much sleep. Is that a thing? It feels like it is. Remember the old days of a 12-hour sleep? Oh, those were the days.

I did a couple of those during lockdown. Did you? Yeah. 12-hour sleep. Good stuff. That's madness. And then I've got friends that can sleep, yeah, for like ever. Yeah.

But yeah, I just kind of seem to be in the middle. But yeah, those people there, it's freakish, right? Well, last year a gene was identified um that and people who need little just little sleep yeah sleep than most people uh less than six and a half hours without any apparent ill effects because any more than six and a half hours a night and you start to get the um side effects of right you know not enough sleep but this guy never slept again. He died 40 years later and for those 40 years he never slept. So what age was he

when he died? I don't have his age. Oh right, but he was What if, let's say he was 30 in 1915 because he was a government official. So yeah, that's another 40 years from there, he's like 70, which back in the day was pretty good.

If it was possible for you to get a little surgery, it was a minor little, and they just nipped something in your brain or something or fused something together, and you didn't have to sleep ever, would you do it? And there was no ill effects. No ill effects. You just didn't need sleep ever. No, but I like it. Well, it kills half the day, doesn't it?

I know, but this is like lockdown again, though. You say you need more time, but when you have more time, you just waste it. You're just going to have those eight hours. You're just literally going to watch more Netflix. Yeah, you just binge everything and there wouldn't be enough shows for you. It's not like you can go out with anyone because most people will be sleeping. I'd fight crime. No, you wouldn't. If you guys are like, I'd watch Netflix and binge. You'd go out and t because most people will be sleeping. I'd fight crime. No, you wouldn't.

If you guys are like, I'd watch Netflix and binge. You'd go out and tinker in your garage. With what? You're still just you. You haven't got superpowers. No, well, obviously

I put the training in in the first little bit. No, you wouldn't. I'm awake when you're asleep. I'll look up how to do jujitsu on YouTube. Jui-jitsu. Jui-jitsu.

And get out there. Just in the middle of the night in your yard doing kicks and stuff. Imagine if they like made the ultimate soldier. And didn't need to sleep. And you didn't need to sleep. Well that was

in my World War II documentaries. That was why they were like how do these Germans just keep going? Because Germans would Blitzkrieg was like lightning war and they'd hit it

and they'd just continually hit it. Yeah, right. With all of them. How are they doing it? They were so addicted to methamphetamine. And as soon as they got tired, Hitler's physician would be like, they exist magic pills. And they'd take them and they'd be like,

I feel great! I feel great! I'll kill someone I don't even care. And then when they tested them later, they'd just been, and then they had the ill effects of withdrawal and everything. So when they finally did stop, it was pretty crazy. But this guy, no, no ill effects, no drugs. He asked and invited any specialist that wanted to examine his brain

or his nerves what was happening. They never found out what happened. Oh, I'd enter one of those radio station competitions. You have to stay awake the longest. Oh, yeah. Just don't tell them. They still do those? I don't know.

I'd be worried about the dying. I'd be worried about being cancelled. Yeah. If something happened to one of the contestants. I don't think I'd be cancelled. So today's fact of the day is after being shot in the head in World War I, a man didn't sleep for 40 years. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast, ZM. There is something that's happening on TikTok. Grown-ups. Yep. Revealing themselves to be fans of baby blankets that they had when they were younger. I didn't have a baby blanket. Did you not? No.

Mine was pink with white polka dots. And I was real soft. My brother had one with a satin edge and then it ended up just being like a little square that he'd carry around. Till when? Oh, I'd love to say till he was 18, but it was only when he was little. Right. But so these people on TikTok are showing their blankets,

and they're like, some of them are just falling to bits. Yeah. Blankies. Baby blanket check. I feel like I did have a blankie. You would have been a blankie. I definitely would have had a blankie. You would have picked a sad if blankie wasn't there.

Where's blankie? Oh, we can't find blankie. I'm not going without blankie. So one person started it and like exposed myself. And then a lot of other people were like, no, you're not alone. Still got my baby blankie. And these are grown adults sleeping every night with their baby blankie. Yeah.

How would you feel if you started dating someone who went round to their house? I would imagine if someone was bringing home someone, they'd hide baby blankie if they were sleeping over. Probably have it in their bedside drawer or something, right? Yeah. Or just have it under the bed and then when they go to sleep, you just bring out blankie and have a snuggle. Is it? Well, I kind of thought it bring out blankie and have a snuggle. Is it?

Well, I kind of thought it was going to be more of a female thing. I don't know why, but the guy that started it is a guy. He had like a manky white blankie with pink bits on it and bits missing. So they don't look pretty. Like they definitely had them since they were little. Yeah, right. But would you say most of the people you've seen on TikTok doing this would be male or female?

Well, at the moment I've seen two and it's one of each. Yeah, right. She's 50-50. She's 50. Oh, who wants manky? Some of them are so manky, yeah. Like looking through them. Like wouldn't survive a wash.

Yeah, nah. Needs one, but wouldn't survive it. A gentle wash anyway. Yeah. Given that lots of people on TikTok are sharing their baby blankies, we wanted to know if you have something that you sleep with from your childhood. Well, because if it's not baby blankies,

what could it be? Teddy bears? A dummy? No. No grown adult is sleeping with a dummy. Like a nightlight. You don't know? A nightlight. Someone might have their childhood nightlight. Can you get behind a nightlight? I'm just too scared it's going to burn the house down. The monsters don't come into your room if you've got a nightlight.

It's not a kerosene lantern in the 1700s. This is a nightlight. So we wanted to know if there were people out there that sleep with something from their childhood. Did you think we'd be struggling? I did kind of. I honestly did. Olivia, good morning. Morning.

Okay, what do you still sleep with from your childhood? I still sleep with my toy tiger that I've had since I was about four. His name is Tiger. I was about to say, what's his name? His name isn't Toy Tiger, just Tiger. Just Tiger. So how old are you now, Olivia? I'm 22.

Okay. And I take Tiger with me every time I sleep over at my boyfriend's house because I honestly can't sleep without him. So has there been moments when you've, I don't know, maybe you've been out and you just have to crash somewhere and you don't have Tiger? Is it just? I just don't sleep.

I'll just sit there and be like, I wish I had Tiger. And I'll probably just like, I'd be like,, mm, I wish I had Tiger. And I'll probably just, like, I'll probably just, I'd be like, do you know what? I actually have to go home. I don't fucking stay places without him. Is Tiger still hanging on for dear life or is he in good condition? He's hanging on for dear life.

So I used to travel to America to visit my dad and he had a battery pack in him because he used to roar. And LA Airport ripped out the battery pack. Oh, my God. They ripped the heart and soul out of him. They did. And I was only like nine and they gave him back to me

with his tummy ripped open and a bunch of fluff. Oh, my God. That's so traumatic. Did you get him like, did you take him to a toy hospital? No, I just kind of, I took him to my mum and she was like, we can fix this. And then now he's got this giant, like, it used to be green, but now it's kind of grey patch on him with my name on it. And is your boyfriend supportive of Tiger?

Yes. My ex-boyfriend was not, but I guess that's why he's an ex. But yes, my girlfriend loves Tiger. And if I'm packing to leave, he'll be like, do you have Tiger? Oh, that's pretty cute. People on TikTok sharing their childhood toys or blankies that they still sleep with. And most of them are pretty manky. Oh, like they're hanging on for dear life.

Yeah, some of them just look like threads now. But we wanted to know if you sleep with something from your childhood. Sian, what do you sleep with? Sian. Hi. Sorry. It's about my cousin. My cousin used to sleep with a baby tiger.

And she had it since she was about 18 months old. But unfortunately, she lost it when she was about 25. How'd she lose it? She left it on an aeroplane. Oh. That's for the best at 25. Yeah, how were the family about that? Do you think it was for the best or?

Oh, everyone was devastated. Leo had been in our lives like forever. Oh. And you can't just- Was it Sam and Leo? You can't just replace it though. You can't replace it, can you? Everyone was devastated. Leo had been in our lives, like, forever. Oh! And you can't just... Was it same Leo? You can't just replace it, though. You can't replace it, can you? Because it's not the same.

No, like, it's our family's mission to try and find the exact same one. I love that your whole family's mourning the loss of her toy. If that didn't get lost and found, it went straight in the bin, didn't it? It probably went in the bin. It probably went in the bin.

Probably. It's a manky thing. Thanks, you're cool. Lauren, do you still sleep with from your childhood? I have a little Silky. I used, well, it's not actually from my childhood, but I used to sleep with a little Silky of my mum's nightie when I was younger. And then, you know those itchy woolen blankets that have the silk trim?

Yes. Yeah, yeah. So I've always had one of them like my whole life. And then I was moving to Africa and Mum was like, well, what are you going to do? You can't really take a massive woolen blanket with you. And I was like, I'm not really sure. And I hadn't really thought about it. And she was like, okay.

And I came home like a week later and she'd bought like this child, like this child, like this baby's toy with a teddy bear head with like the drapey blanket body with like silk underneath. Oh, that is so cute. And now I have a portable silky. Oh, that's so cute. Lauren, thanks for your call. Patricia, what do you have from your childhood?

So it was a dog. Yeah. And he was probably about a metre long, made out of, like, a polyester nylon weird mix. And when you rubbed them together, they made that weird, like, rustly sound. And I stuck my fingers and, like, rubbed them all over my face. Yeah.

And as years got on, he got worse and worse and worse. Like, it just, like, it ended up I only had a leg and then I had a foot, and now there's just like a little square piece of fabric left over. Oh no. All my friends knew about it. Like I'd take him with me to parties all the time

and I actually took a carload of friends out to the beach, which is like an hour away for a party and they thought it'd be funny to hide it and I just absolutely lost my shit and refused to take anybody home until they helped me find him. Oh no, wow. What did you call

him? Mr. Dog. Mr. Dog. Brilliant, Patricia, thanks for your call. Some other text messages, thanks. I still have my baby blankie, he's called Nanites. It's falling to bits, and the only person I've ever shown is my husband.

I'm 27 years old, so that's fine. I named Nanites, I can't get to sleep. I'm 27 years old, so that's fine. I need no nights. I can't get to sleep. I don't know. God, I sleep with you. No nights. 33 years old, and I still sleep with my toy lamb dog. When I got him, I didn't know if it was a lamb or a dog,

so it's lamb dog. And he's definitely seen better days. My husband still has his pillow from when he was a baby. He's 32. Oh, that would be so manky. Oh, God. It would be like mostly dust mites. How often do they say you should

change your pillow? I'm going to Google. Well, I feel like, is it three years or something? Isn't it three years and a third of its weight is dust mites? Oh. Yeah. Oh, I need to replace my pillow. As a rule of thumb, you should replace your pillows every one to two years.

Oh, my God. Yuck. So let's just buy those cheap ones if we're going to rotate them all the time. I'm 33 and I sleep with my 20-year-old yellow Care Bear. I've told myself I've got to stop. You know how Care Bears have that hard heart-shaped button just to the side of their butt? I'm not allowed to play with that anymore because it's going to rip off soon. I had a sheepskin which

I called Boaty. Don't know why it was called that. There's only a corner of it left now. And my daughter has it. She loves it. It used to be mum's. But at the same time you'd be like, I'll be careful with it. Boaty's not going to last forever. Why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen too?
