Okay. What's in it for them? Don't you get a friend over and then they get a working over. They get a working over. I did actually have people yesterday saying, the number one comment when you send a photo of the massage gun to a friend is, is there a dildo attachment? And the second is, wow. And they get very excited and want to know more about it.

And they want to have a go with it. Also, there's a couple of attachments that probably could be. We'll leave it at that. I don't think you should. Just saying. No. How easily do these attachments pop off? They pop off

But they don't lock, so you wouldn't want that You'd have a trip to A&E Well, Cardi B said she was going to do Kegels while I was inside I wouldn't recommend that, for example No ZM Head music lives here Fletch, Vaughn and Megan, the podcast

Good morning, welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughn and Megan Oh the podcast. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Oh my God, I just looked at the date. What? September 11. Oh. September 11. But it was actually September 12th when it happened, isn't it?

Yeah, it was. Remember that? Yeah. So do that tomorrow in your own time, thanks. Sure. What were you doing? It's just crazy. It's 19 years ago.

I know. I was just going to say it was 2001, wasn't it? Oh, don't say that. I mean, I hardly remember it, being that I was three years old at the time. Oh, what a young man I am. Coming up on the show today, again, your chance to win cash with our 50K fact of the day. Make sure you're listening at 8.25. Before that, special guest on the show just after 8 o'clock, a young lady you might know, Destiny Cyrus joining us.

Destiny what? We just call her Miley. Yeah. Yeah, we call her Destiny because we're good friends, but you guys just call her Miley. Oh, yeah, but she's on the show. Yeah, so she's got new music. Well, hopefully a new album coming out soon. I guess COVID's kind of messing with that.

We don't have an official date, but they did say 2020, so there's not much of that left. So we'll chat to Miley Cyrus after eight on the show. The top six is coming up. Yeah, the top six things on tax. If I had a political party, it's getting to that part where policies are being announced about what will be taxed. Because I don't know if you guys know, but there's been a pandemic. Yep. And keeping our citizens safe has cost money.

So chances are something is going to need to be taxed. Tax Vaunder. That's what your nickname would be. Your political name. Tax Smith-ter. No, because, no. No, that only works because you put Tax in the front of Jacinda. Yeah, right.

That's why they say Taxcinda. You're saying da to his name. You're writing da. Tax Vaughn-da. Tax Vaughn-da. Does it not sound cute? But then that's now me and Jacinda and Tax. Yeah, right. I'm going to line.

I don't need her help. Okay. Tax. It's hard because he's just got one syllable. So you just have to replace. You just call him tax. Tax Smith. No one's voting for you, are they?

No, because there's tax in my name. Well, I saw one of those political parties yesterday wanted to tax like junk food. That's top. 20%. Yeah. That's top. I'm waiting to see what the, junk food. That's top. 20%, yeah. That's top. I'm waiting to see what the bottoms want to be taxed on. The bottom party.

They love to be taxed. Did no one in the top party run that name past the gay community? Doubtful. No, it's good. No, they totally did. Right. Because the bottoms love a top, and the tops respect another top. Right, okay.

So it's a perfect political party name. It's a perfect political party name. Right, okay. So it's a perfect political party name. It's the perfect political party name. Right, okay. You wouldn't call your political party the bottoms because then the tops would not respect them. Yeah, true. Right. So the top six.

The top six things I'd tax. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. I did not know that we even had. I know we have the best pie. Yeah. In New Zealand.

Like the pie awards are genuinely, apparently a very fun event. Oh yeah. And it's a sought after title. Yeah. Oh, very sought. I mean, you're going to sell some, you're going to sell some meat and pastry if you get the coveted title. Or a vegan.

They do, don't they do vegan and you don't even have time for that, do you? No one's eating those. A Dunedin man, however, is... I just miss you not like that. Absolutely. No one is eating them. Bullshit. Anybody on the road right now going to a wild bean cafe

or anywhere that sells pies, and look which slider's got the most pies in it. Yeah, but a vegan probably wouldn't buy their pie from there. And the prosecution rests, Your Honour. So, a Dunedin man, George Street's Hungry Hobos. Right. He has won the best toasty award. There's an award for this?

The Great New Zealand Toasty Takeover. Right, okay, there's an award for this. Yeah. What do you think's in his toasty? Cheese. It's not traditional. There is cheese, though. Oh, okay.

Because you know, you always have to have cheese in a toasty. If you don't have cheese in a toasty, it doesn't count. It's a dried arrangement. Yeah. My go-to is a cream. I love cream corn. Cream corn, onion, and cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love it. Onion and cheese, always there. And you know, now, I haven't made a toastie for a while, but if you were feeling bougie, you could get some garlic in there. I made a toastie during last lockdown. It's delicious. What if you pre-cooked the onions and the garlic before the toastie? Cheese.

So you could get them in there and they had a little bit of that caramelisation that happens. And then the cheese and then whatever else. Well, he could take my advice on board if he wanted. So in the toasty, let me start with what the bread is. Because it's not a standard slice of thick white toast bread. It's a chowder. Also, just a question.

While I'm imagining this toasty, is it done in the traditional triangle? You know, it does it into the hearts? Is it a toasted pie? Not a Jaffel. No. Is it a toasted pie? Not a Jaffel. No. Is it a Jaffel? Is it more like a panini piece? It's more like a pressed.

It's not a grilled. It's a grilled. It is. It's still a toasty. Right, okay. But it's not sealed in. It's not sealing the lava inside of this. Oh, right, okay.

Old toasty makers of yesteryear. Okay. The old sunbeam toasty makers. Yeah. Ours had a fray cord, so if you played with it too much, you got a little shock. I think ours did too. Yeah. Because they added the woven covering of the cord.

Anyway, back to what's on this bloody toastie. The bread is cheer barter. Ah, too holey. Wouldn't that leak through the holey bits? You're going to get some cheese leakage. Okay, well, he's happy with the cheese leakage. Herb buttered cheer barter. So he's You're going to get some cheese leakage. Okay, well, he's happy with the cheese leakage. Herb-buttered Chia Bata.

So he's got a lot of herb butter on there. Okay. Inside, homemade meatloaf to his grandmother's recipe, creamy mashed potato, gravy, aged cheddar, and, I mean, this is where he's absolutely nailed it because he's put pickles in there too, the McClure sweet and spicy pickles, which if you've never had, you simply must try. Okay. A big jar of those will disappear quite quickly over a weekend

if you get your pickle snack on. But yeah, that's the combination. It's called the bed out of hell. I don't know how I feel about that. Again. I'd nom it up. That sounds delicious. Meatloaf, mashed potato, gravy, cheddar, and pickles inside ciabatta.

How much is that setting you back? I don't know. Is there a price on that? I don't have a price. It just sounds like dinner and you're toasty. Yeah, pretty much. You put dinner in there. Yeah.

And what's the problem with that? I don't know. Leftovers are toasty. Right. Oh, well, Dunedin, you're in luck because... It does sound like a good hangover cure. Yeah, you can get down and get a bit out of hell and it's the best toastie in New Zealand this year.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A teenager in Bangkok has gone viral for, I don't know if you'd be like, this is his moment, but I don't know if you'd want this to be your moment. This is your moment. So he is an 18 year old uni student. He needed to go to the bathroom. Okay.

So keep in mind he's in Thailand. So he sat down and he said, I suddenly felt this pain in my penis. Okay. That's not what you want when you sit down on the toilet. No. I looked down and there was a python hanging in the toilet

and there was blood everywhere. Did you just cross your legs? What? Did you just squeeze your legs together? I was like, ah. I was like, what?

Yes. What kind of python? It's a non-venomous. It just says python. It's a black, I don't know. Yeah, I was just going to look up what it looked like.

Is it dead in the toilet? No, it's not dead. No, it bit him. It's just had a tasty feed of penises. It's not dead. It's alive and well. Well, I don't know if they killed it because he did take a photo of the snake in the toilet. It's not little, but it doesn't fill the whole toilet bowl.

They come up the toilet, eh? They come up the toilet. Do they? Yeah. but it doesn't fill the whole toilet bowl. They come up the toilet, eh? They come up the toilet. Do they? Yeah. Can you put some mesh on your toilet? Oh no, because then nothing

will get back out. The person will get through. I'm so glad I know this after I've been to Thailand. I know. I never knew that snakes could go up toilets. Because you do hear

all these stories every now and again in America. What? I will tell you something that Sade made me say I wouldn't tell, but I feel like

it's a few years ago and we don't live in that house anymore. One night, in our downstairs toilet, I was, went in and I flicked the lid up

and I started going wheeze and I was like, what's that? And I could see something in the bottom of the bowl and I flushed and when,

you know how it all bubbles? Yeah. And then it cleared and it was still there. I was like, and then it wiggled and it was and I was like, what is it? And I was like, Shade, come and have a look at this. And she came and

had a look and it was a rat's tail. And so I googled it and do you know how toilets work with an S-Bend? Yeah. So there's an air cavity in the top of the bend, and it stops the smell. Once you've flushed, it pushes it through. Yeah. I Googled, and apparently it's been known that rats come up,

and they can swim for a long time and hold their breath, and then they get to that air pocket, and they sit there. And I was like, what do we do? And she's like, poke it. So I got the toilet brush and I like prodded it and the tail was like wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. And I was like, it's definitely alive. In your toilet?

I know, in our toilet. This is the downstairs toilet. This was the downstairs toilet at our old place. But so we were on, see, I could understand it now because we're on a septic tank. And I don't know if one fell in there somehow. Maybe it could swim and try to find the entrance. I don't know fully if that's even possible.

But I was like, how the hell? Like, we're on a closed pipe sewage system. Yeah, but it all connects to the streets and the sewers. So that's highly likely. But are the sewers open? The sewers in New Zealand aren't like the sewers in, like, New York, like where the Ninja Turtles were, or like those big open flowing sewers.

Oh, there'd definitely be a way for it to get in. Aren't they pressurised? Or are these like pump stations? I don't know. I'm not a plumber. Anyway, we were just like, what? And she's like, shut that lid. So I taped the lid down. I was like, what do we do?

She's like, surely lots of flushes. Yeah, I was like, keep flushing, keep flushing. And I would have put lots of paper to like push it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I was like, well, so what I did is I squirted, because I figured it must have been holding on. So I squirted like detergent in there.

Oh, yeah. Make it slippery. It's a bubble bath. And then put toilet paper in. Yeah. And then flushed, but also had like a massive bucket of water to pour in after it. Anyway, it just would not disappear.

And then so we left the toilet taped and I'd go back and check on it. This was like a few days and then it was gone. And then did you ever use that downstairs toilet again? And then like, I actually forgot about it until you said about that part. And I was like, I wonder if a snake can come up a toilet. And I was like, we're that time about the rat. I was like, I actually forgot about it until you said about the part. And I was like, I wonder if a snake can come up a toilet. And I was like, with that time about the rat. I was like, we never talked about it. Because we all came around and used that toilet.

Yeah. You would have. Unbelievable. I've only just gotten over, like, sitting on the toilet after watching It. Just, like, sewers and stuff. And now either a python or a rat is going to bite my bum. You're worried about looking down and seeing a clam between your legs.

Yeah. Because remember James, our old producer, James 1.0, he was a plumber and his dad was a plumber. I messaged him. I was like, hey, weird question. Do rats ever, like, come up the toilet? He's like, I think they'd find it pretty hard because it'd be, like, full of water and fighting against the flush. was like oh yeah weird no i was just thinking about it

but yeah we never like that is because i wanted to grab it with like i wanted to grab the tail and pull it but shadow was like no because what if you pull it and then it just turns and it scurries up and out of the toilet yeah and then we've got to deal with a wet, poo-covered, angry rat. So we just taped the lid down. It's so gross. I went back and checked on it every now and then. I like to think the people that bought that house would be like, what, there is it?

Because, you know, when you put masking tape on something, there's always that little bit of residue. They're like, what? Why is it back here? Because we used dissolvent on the front. Yeah. Probably didn't go all the way around. Flesh, fauna, Megan.

The podcast. ZM. From the ZM think tank. This is the top six. Hello there. Election. In how many days is it now? Oh, you know I've got my election countdown clock.

There is one online. If you Google New Zealand election countdown clock, it'll be one of the top results. No, I literally Googled it and nothing came up. Wait. Oh, right. How many days till the New Zealand general election? Four days ago it was 40 days.

So what's that? 36. 36 days. That's good maths. This election clock's four days out. We could have taken the easy route there, but we didn't. We did some maths. We did maths.

Exactly. But policies are being announced. Who's going to be taxed? Labour have said people who earn over $180,000, the money they earn over that will now have a new tax bracket. 2% of the population, apparently. The top political party have said probably junk food. They want to tax junk food?

Yeah, have a junk food tax. And then they said they want to use that money to make dentists and doctors cheaper for a lot of New Zealanders. They're having to spend a lot of money at the dentist. I think that's a good idea. But you've already spent the money. Shouldn't you do that thing where you've already done it, so you shouldn't have to pay for anybody else? Do you want everyone else to pay the same?

I want everyone else to pay. What do they call it? The pull the ladder up behind you? Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I did that myself, so you should have to as well. No, that was actually me being caring for other New Zealanders. Okay, Comrade Fletcher. Calm down with your communism.

All right, caring about others. Oh, I'm sorry that I want everyone to have nice teeth. How dare you? That is the privilege for the wealthy. Not every Tom, Dick and Harry. So the top six things, odd tax. Right, okay. Because we need to raise some money.

Well, we're going to pay for this COVID. Yeah. Rebuild. We're going to rebuild for this COVID. Yeah. Rebuild. We're going to rebuild? Rebuild. Repay, I think. Repay. Repay in the loans. Yeah. Number six on the list of the top six things odd tax, leaks. What did they do to you?

The vegetable. Yeah, the vegetable. I don't like them. What? It's really affecting people that want a leaked soup. What about like a creamy chicken and leek pie I'll just have a creamy chicken pie And save myself the tax dollars Is it the Welsh? The Welsh are very fond of a leek

I don't mean to target the Welsh Stereotype With this tax But leeks No time for them Number five on the list of the top six things I'd tax, horses, but not mini ones, because they're really cute.

So they are... You're going to create a divide in the field. Good. Between the miniatures. So the horse, the full-size horse people. Yep. Ponies, taxed. Miniature ponies.

Miniature horses or ponies. I found this weird road by where I live, and it seems everybody on this road has miniature horses. Why? I'm not sure. So you'd be taxing them? No, no, no, because it's a miniature horse. Okay, so that's all right. Look how miniature it is.

Oh, my God. It's like the tiniest little horse. That's good because horses are too big. Too strong. Very flighty. They need to be tacked. How cute would the world be if every horse was a miniature? Yeah.

But then you go to ride it and it's like, oh, no, get off. Do they want to be ridden? Also, horse people can afford the extra tax on bigger horses. Yep. Good idea idea Smithy I'm voting for you Thank you And then if they

Are like Well I can't afford To feed the horse now I'll be like Well feed it a little bit less And it might become a mini That's how it works I believe horses shrink

When they get hungry Or put it in the dryer After a hot wash Number four On the list of the top six things I'd tax If I had a political party People who don't watch Thunderstorms I'd tax if I had a political party. People who don't watch thunderstorms.

I'd tax them. Right, okay. You have a front row seat to one of nature's most beautiful spectacles. What are you doing? You're hiding. You pull the curtains. Open the curtains and stand by the window. I might get struck by lightning.

Are you aware of the chances of you being struck by lightning? Very small. Very small. Number three on the list of the chances of you being struck by lightning? Very small. Very small. Number three on the list of the top six things I'd tax if I had a political party. Tofu. And I'd also tax everyone that's told me I haven't had it cooked right. You're going to tax people that like something that you don't.

Squeak, squeak, squeak. Yeah. That's how it works. That's what you do when you've got a political party. Number two on the list of the top six things I'd tax. Not all candy. Candy bars. No, I'm not voting for you.

Not all candy bars. What candy bars are you saying? Wait, hear the policy out, Megan. Pinky bars. Oh, yeah. Just pinky bars. Okay, how about just pinky bars? What did they do to you?

Well, they did nothing for nobody. Caramel and marshmallow. Yeah. Wait a Well, they did nothing for nobody. Caramel marshmallow. Yeah. Wait a minute, they don't have caramel in them? Yeah, they've got a thin layer of gooey caramel. I thought they were just a bar-shaped chocolate fish. No, it's got caramel in it. No, there's a slight, ever so slight slither.

A slither? Of way less than there used to be of caramel. 100%. But it's pretty much a chocolate fish, right? It's got caramel in it. In bar form. Mmm.

You can't dismiss the caramel aspect. I'd rather have a pinky before I had a picnic or a moro. No, no. I used to be anti-picnic but I'm full picnic now.

Full picnic. Number one on the list of the top six things I would tax. Parents that don't control their kids in public. You know, you just see a kid hitting a fence with a stick, and the parents are just like,

that's not your fence. Tell the kid not to hit it with a stick. Like, the kid doesn't know this is our job. We've got to say, hey, whoa, Stevie, we don't hit fences with sticks. Because you know what comes next? What? Drugs.

Exactly. Yeah, it's a gateway to drugs. It's vandalism. Yeah, tap, tap, tap with a stick. And then he's whack, whack, whack with a stick. And then he's smashing letterboxes with baseball bats and smoking crack. Good Lord.

Driving in a car with no warrant of fitness. A slippery slope. Eating a leek. Talking about how he loves big horses. Yeah. I don't know if you've been catching my political tax system, but he's breaking all the laws. That is today's top six.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Gender reveals. We're talking about them a lot lately because I'm... They started some big fires, didn't they? Yeah. The massive fire in San Francisco. Yep. The podcast. Gender reveals. We're talking about them a lot lately because I'm... They started some big fires, didn't they? Yeah. The massive fire in San Francisco. Yep.

And Oregon as well. Wildfires there as well. That's not a baby. That's wildfire season, right? It's the end of summer in America. This happens every year. Yeah. But they always point out the ones that can be avoided or could be avoided.

And one of them was a gender reveal party this year. But there's been lots of accidents with gender reveals. This one, no accidents. But it was $140,000. That's how much it cost them to do this. So this is a Syrian-Canadian YouTube star. Him and his family have 7.5 million followers. And I went on their account.

What do they do? I think it's just family stuff. Because when they announced they were having a baby, they put up a scan and it's them and their daughter. Yeah, as far as I can tell. So people follow them just like a reality show because your girls watch. That's why there's so many of these YouTube families.

And I don't know how they find the time. Because there's one, and they've literally got seven kids. Yeah. And they put out three or four videos a week. And the videos are edited and everything. And one of the families I was just flabbergasted by, but it turns out they got to a point where they would video it, and they'd just give it to an editor and the editor

would make the video because they were making so much money off their YouTube. I was going to say, if you're getting 6 million views, you don't need a job. No, that's how many followers. The views on this gender reveal I'm about to tell you about, it's been up for 24 hours. It's got 13 million views. It's only been up for 24 hours.

But this cost them $140,000 so they obviously got some cash. They went to Dubai, and the Burj Khalifa tallest building in the world, I went up it, lost my shit. You couldn't even go out onto the viewing deck. I felt like that thing was tipping over. I just had a constant feeling that we were falling over. It's so...

It was very entertaining for us, wasn't it? So high. It was definitely moving. Yeah, well, that's what they said, wasn't it? So high. It was definitely moving. Yeah, well, that's what they said, and that made it even worse. It's a huge building. You look down, and you look down at skyscrapers, and they look tiny. And you try and take a photo of it, and it doesn't fit. Yeah.

Yeah, it's nuts. So they hired that, I guess. And they did a full-on light show on the Burj Khalifa to reveal to everyone. They always project lights like the flags of the country. And didn't they put Jacinda after the terror attacks? They put her on the Burj Khalifa? A big digital projector. Yeah.

So they did a massive light show on the side of the Burj Khalifa. It's 163 floors and they covered the whole thing. Right. To reveal that they're having a boy. But like full on light show and a countdown.

10, 9, like what you'd expect for like New Year's or something. Wow, okay. And $140,000 and they were like, yay, boy. How much do you get for like a video with five or six million views? Not 140,000.

Yeah, I don't know. What about 13 million? Because at the moment it's got 13. So they at least sort of paid for that and got some more subscribers. Yeah. For their channel. And it's news stories everywhere. So more people are going to be watching it.

Is it good publicity? Maybe. It's just a good advertisement for their channel. Didn't start a fire? No. It was a little bit, like, egomaniacal to have the world's tallest building. Like, there's kids. But do you know what?

Genitals have just been announced on a building. I can't be sure what I would do if I had lots of money. So I'm not willing to judge. I'd do some silly, silly things. That would probably be one of them. A woman has shared her amazing response to unsolicited pen pics. This is on Messenger, which is important. So if she gets one, she shared a screenshot.

So someone's like, hi, can we talk? And then picture. Okay. So she sends back a fake message designed to look like an official auto reply. It says, auto replying capitals. We have detected the transmission of an unsolicited pornographic images of potentially illegal nature code in brackets with numbers. And your device's IP address has been forwarded to the police department

pending an investigation. If you think this is a mistake, reply stop. And the guy just replied, stop, stop. In capitals. Good play. Wow, hot play.

Yeah. Because she obviously didn't ask for that. No. So, wow. It does look, because it's got like a code in there with numbers.

It looks official. It looks official. But I just love that. He's like, stop, wow. It does look, because it's got like a code in there with numbers. It looks official. It looks official. But I just love that he's like, stop, stop. So, yeah. She probably stopped him doing that to like, who knows who in the future too. So good. Well, unless he sees this and realises he's being numb. Oh, yeah.

Still scare you. Yeah. What if, I was just thinking of other ways to deal with it, like other replies. Yeah. You could do, be like, this submission received to make it look like they've submitted a picture of their penis. Oh, you're right.

Like our associated phone number, then their phone number, or like their associated Facebook account. Yeah. To Penis of the Year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Penis of the Year Awards. Yeah, to Pornhub's Penis of the Year. Thank you for your submission. We'll be in touch. Yeah.

Why don't they just give them an ego boost? For your permission to publicly share this image. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that would also scare you as well. Right. Yeah. And then reply a little bit later being like, it failed to reach our minimum requirements. There we go.

There you go. There's the freak out and then the ego takedown. Coming up on the show, it's the return of Bluff or Stuff. It's your chance to win. What have we got today? We've got some makeup brushes. These are Morphe, Jaclyn Hill's Morphe brushes. Oh, yeah. I do know about those. Do I what? Yeah, same. What have we got today? We've got some makeup brushes These are Morphe Jacqueline Hill's Morphe brushes Oh yeah

I do know about those Do I what? Yeah same This should be fun They're very good ZM's Fletch Warner Megan The podcast Oh Megan we're the same electorate

We've established this Oh I wasn't listening There's been new Google results released of what people in New Zealand are Googling ahead of the election. In the lead up to the election. Yeah, 36 days. I think we can start voting, am I correct in saying the 3rd

of October? Because Fletch loves an early vote to get away from all the people. Last year, I think, wasn't there like nearly a million people that early voted? It was ridiculously high because you could just go to the mall or places like the supermarkets had them. And so you didn't have to bother on the day. That's so handy.

So handy. I like the idea of all doing it on the same day. I mean, there's people who can't and whatever. Early vote if it's your only option. Lines. If you want. Yeah, true, actually. It's lines. That's why I hate it. This year, there might be lines. But no, there's something cool about the day of the election. But what are people Googling in the lead up to the election?

Apparently, who should I vote for? A very popular. Is that the most popular? A very popular Google search. You're asking Google who you should. Or is that to bring up? Because then that leads to the things like, was it Vote Compass?

Is that the one that? Okay, so I've just done it, yeah. The second popular site is Vote.nz, which is the website to help you enrol, give you all the information you need. That's the official website. And yeah, a whole lot of like, there's an on the fence Vote Compass. Because you don't know.

That's the thing. And you fill in and then it's whoever aligns with your ideals, they'll tell you. Yeah. Yeah, and then you get like the new Conservatives and you're like, I really need to take a look at myself. I really need to ask myself, what am I doing wrong? So then when did women get the vote in New Zealand?

Is that another? 18. 19. Yes. Two. Two. 1993. 1893. Yes.

September 19, 1893. There was a question on the chase. It was by the lady on the $10 note, wasn't it? Kate Shepard. Kate Bush. There was a question on the chase. What was that? Earlier in this week.

Yeah. The first country to give women the vote. And they got it wrong. It was like, excuse me. I love when it says New Zealand. Yeah. Do you get real excited? I love when it says New Zealand anywhere.

Like, that's us. That's us. We're down here. Woohoo. That's us. What is a referendum? That's another Googling. This is a little sad that people are Googling that.

I understand that one because I know what we have to do for the referendum. But I don't know what a referendum is. I don't know why they call it that. We're just voting for something, right? Do you think it would be better if they called it a quiz? No, a vote. No, a vote quiz. A vote quiz.

But I don't know what referendum means, so maybe they're, like, Googling that. Right, okay. And who will win the 2020 election? New Zealand. Also. Do you think people Google that so they can get on the, like, they're like, well, I'll just go with whoever's popular so that I can tell people that I voted for whoever won.

I wonder. Well, I hope not. Maybe. Maybe though. I hope people make up their own minds. Yeah. But they obviously don't if they're Googling this.

Yeah. I found another, if you want to know more about, you can Google and it's really easy to find out what your electorate is. And like your, I mean, chances are by your house there's some hoardings anyway and you can find out more about your local, find out who your local MP is. Where they stand NZ, somebody's made this website. It's not attached to a political party.

Okay. As far as I can see, and I've had a good little read behind the scenes of who set it up. Where they stand, you go in and you can find out your MP, people standing in your electorate, and you can see things like what they voted for lately. Well, basically, since they've been an MP, which way they voted on, like abortion reform. Marriage equality, that kind of stuff.

Yeah, marriage equality, when that was being voted on, you can see what your MP thought, if should same-sex couples be allowed to be married? And of course you're like, yeah, but then some voted no. I know, it's a lot to do. Maybe you don't want to vote for somebody that said that. Also, under there, it tells you what gifts have been given. Because as an MP, you have to declare,

if you get anything, like tickets to a corporate box. Yeah. A hedge trim, courtesy of Jim's Mowing. A hedge trim? Well, yeah, Jim's Mowing might be trying to... Trying to get a what? I don't know.

Jim's Mowing's political interest. They don't want any doors on hedges. You can see how much travel and accommodation they've like. Ticked up? Ticked up, yeah. Wow, okay. And you'll be like, what? For the non-Wellington ones, but then they have to go down there for things.

So I think that's an avoidable cost. Yeah. It says like oversee their financial interests. So it says like the properties they own, because that has to be disclosed as well. Yeah, right. Businesses that they've got stakes in, who they've got their mortgage with. Or did you look up your local guy? I did.

He got given a horse float. You have to declare your gifts as a horse float. What's going on? Who gave him a horse float? The local house removal guys. Why did they do that? I don't know. Does he have a horse?

Well, I hope he does or he's just stuck with a very nice enclosed trailer with a door at the front and a flip thing at the back. But then you've got all these lists of gifts and you're like, but why? They should have to put why. Why did you get a gift? Why did he get a horse trailer? I don't know. Okay.

But I went to Jacinda because I figured she just gets given lots of things because people like her. Yep. So it says that she was given products from L'Oreal. However, they were donated to Dress for Success and Woman's Refuge in Wellington. Okay. So she passed those on.

Uh-huh. She was given by the president of- So wait, she's- Influencers are sending her- Makeup companies are sending her stuff to influence. Yeah, and she's like, hashtag no. Okay. Hashtag pass on.

A porcelain dish from the president of France. Probably trying to win favour back after the rainbow warrior. Yeah, well, we haven't forgotten about all that Pacific nuclear testing, have we? She got a Halam Casal hand-carved phrase in a frame by His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan. She got a gift basket from the ambassador of Cuba. When you moved in here, what was in the...

What was in the... No breakdown on what was in the Cuban gift basket. Cigarzo, right? Well, no, because maybe he was on his way to meet her and he just stopped at the supermarket. Because you know they do those pre-prepared supermarket hampers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always a bit rubbish. They put all the stuff in there they can't sell, like shortbread. Maybe he was on his way to meet her and he just stopped at the supermarket. Because you know they do those pre-prepared supermarket hampers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always a bit rubbish.

They put all the stuff in there they can't sell, like shortbread. She got tickets to the Warriors versus the Rabbitohs. And then it says when she's been loaned items. Like there's, I'm imagining these are, like I know Kate Sylvester. Yeah, she's a big fan. Juliet Hogan. Yeah. Kareem Nathan.

Harmon Grubiza. Harmon Grubiza. Harmon Grubisha. Yep, that one. And it's all this stuff, so you can find out what your MP has been given. Has Glassons given her anything? No word on Glassons. I'm just saying a trick. Just some basics would be nice to mix in.

Everyone needs a basic. Great place for your basics. Fletlesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Bluff or Stuff. But right now, it's your chance to win with Bluff or Stuff. Shania, good morning. Good morning.

All right, so up for grabs. Megan, would you like to explain the prize? Yeah, since I'm holding it. It's a Morphe Jaclyn Hill makeup brush set. By Jonah Hill. Jaclyn Hill. Oh, Jaclyn Hill. Jonah's mum.

Jonah Hill's mum does makeup brushes. Right, good. So, Shania, we're all going to bluff and tell you that we are holding this prize. I already told her, so. Well, you're obviously not holding it because you've got both hands on your microphone stand. Both hands on the... God, you're full of shit.

Shania. Yeah? I can tell you about this collection of brushes that it was made in China. Okay. Everything's made in China nowadays. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I can tell you because I'm holding it, it's in like a shiny case,

like you'd have like a pencil case. It looks like Guy Diamond from the Trolls movies. And yeah, it's got a love, so it's got like a cardboard thing around the side with the brand and stuff on it. Everything you're saying you can see from where I'm holding it. I can tell you the brushes in it. You've got a foundation bronzer, a blush,

an under eye powder brush, a glow baby glow brush and it comes in the sparkle case. A Sonic the Hedgehog brush. I feel like Megan you'll know though because I know you're into makeup as well.

Yeah. Well yeah because she's reading it. I feel like you already know what it is. Shania don't be fooled. She's reading it from the website. Off, yeah, because she's reading it. Shania, don't be fooled. She's reading it from the website. Off the case.

Because I'm holding it. In fact, you'll even hear when I put it down on the ground. Listen to this. That was the makeup brushes. Very heavy.

Had the hard end, didn't it? Who is Jaclyn Hill? Do you know, Shania? Yeah, she's a YouTuber. She first started out on YouTube and she's just

grown up from there. She's just grown up from there. She's done places more from there. Is she French? I don't believe so. She's American. Okay, well, Shania, I'd like you to... Why on the back does it... Has it got some French, then,

on the back of this container? Oh, I couldn't tell you anything about that. Then read it to you. On this container. It's a bag. What are you talking about? Bonjour. Jai Collection.

Mon ami. Okay, you're obviously not holding it. Shania, I'd like you to eliminate one of us. Who's definitely not holding it? Okay, I think Vaughan's not holding it. Okay, I think Vaughan's not holding it. That is incorrect. Oh, no. You're out, Shania.

That's it. You're eliminated. Blanche tripped his coffee pot and said he was holding them. Come on. I thought you might have been doing it. Oh. Yeah, Vaughan's actually reading the answer. doing it. J'ai cru ces chocolatons des pincers et pincers à mes abords. Yeah,

Vaughan's actually reading the back of the prize. Well, Shania, unfortunately, you don't win with Bluff or Stuff today, but that does mean

that these makeup brushes from Jonah Hill will be back. We'll not be going home with Megan and we'll be back on Up for Grabs next week on the show.

Please don't open that. Shania, I've just rubbed one of the brushes on my face, and, man, I feel like a woman. I know. Oh, my God. You know, everyone at work says that to me every day. I'm like... Well, it's the first time I've said it.

ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. So we've heard a lot about relationships breaking down after lockdown and during COVID because if there was already stress in your relationship, then it's going to make or break it. Yeah. So lots of counsellors, maybe divorce rates up a wee bit. But on the flip side of it, some people actually loved it

and it was very good for their relationship. So I guess if you find out that you really do like each other, you're spending more time together, which maybe a lot of people don't get to do. Because they're working. Yeah, exactly. So actually spending some quality time with your partner has actually

strengthened a lot of relationships. And you love lockdown. You loved it. I really enjoyed it. But I also understand that it's not possible all the time. Society can't function like that. No. Everybody just stay at home and not work.

No, but on the surface, like in terms of relationships and like chilling out, a lot of people enjoyed it. Yeah. You're allowed to say that if you found it funny. Yeah. I liked it. And yeah, like it was good for your relationship because you had more time to,

and there was no pressure to go anywhere or do anything and the shops weren't open so shut up and spend money. It was great. So a study found that the levels of happiness for some people and contentment increased during lockdown while the feelings of loneliness decreased. But then we're also hearing that some people, I mean, especially those who are living alone, the loneliness is increasing. So I guess if you're happy with your bubble and you've got a good bubble, then your happiness and contentment goes up. Right.

But yeah, for some it's not the case. But 61% of people surveyed were happy and content with their connection to the community during lockdown. Right. The no connection they were happy with. Because during lockdown there's little to no connection with your community, right? Unless you have a secret church meeting. And what?

What a great idea. What could go wrong? Yeah, I mean, just a huge cluster tail. What a fantastic idea to go into a small and close space with a whole bunch of people who don't believe in science and breathe on each other and saliva. Maybe we'll drink from the same cup. But the deal is if you're going to do that,

you've got to lock the doors and stay there forever. Okay? That's the new deal. That's the new rule. That's your forever place. No leaving. We need to discuss with producer Jared. Does he want to discuss this?

Well, I mean, he did bring it up. I don't think we should use anybody else's name or identifying features. I just want to clarify, I didn't bring this up. This was a total ambush from executive intern Anya. Oh. Classic. It's good when it's an ambush, not on you, eh? Yeah, absolutely fine.

Maybe this is just a wee push in the right direction, Jared. It turns out that in this gigantic office building that we work in, that somewhere in that building is someone that producer Jared has a crush on who just sits at a desk beavering away all day and is beavering away all day. What?

He's beavering away all day. That's just what you say when you're working. Working away? Yeah, you're working away, beavering away. Working hard. Have you never heard that saying? Yes, I have. I just didn't think it didn't feel fitting. Great uncle.

Great uncle Fletchy. Yeah, I've been beavering away all day. Sits at this desk working diligently. Yes, there we go. Completely unawares. You have a crush on this girl. Yeah. Which feels, it's very uncomfortable.

I feel uncomfortable with this chat. I feel like even just in this kind of current environment, like purely visual crush. Yeah, I've never spoken to her. Oh, right, okay. So you just see from afar and never even been like, hey. Oh, yeah. I don't know how to bring it up. Well, hey.

Yeah, exactly. Do I ease into it? Not like you have a reason to go up to their desk and be like, hey. It's a nice day outside. Don't use that. That was a bad example. I've been brainstorming reasons to walk past their desk

right okay um they they sit near the vending machine right okay um and i've been trying to figure out what kind of snack would be alluring like you want to push b5 or whatever on the vending machine to get a sexy snack yeah well i don't want to rock up and grab a Mountain Dew and a bag of Doritos. Hey, hey, hey. Why not? That could be delicious. What if that's her favourite snack? That could be up a rally. Yeah, this is the fine line I'm walking.

Okay, I've sent... Mountie's popped out and got a photo. Okay. Of the vending machine. Oh, I thought you meant of her. I was like, no, no, no, no. There you go. Hey, can you go get a photo?

Can you go and get a photo of this person? We'll put it online. No. Okay, so chips, predominantly chips there in the top two rows. You've got a popcorn option. Everyone loves chips. You've got a big cookie on the end. One's a white chocolate macadamia.

One's a chocolate chip. Then you've got... Okay, what about this? Get the big cookie and then be like, it's too much cookie for me. I know, that's creepy. No, I was going be like, oh, oh, oh, no, that's creepy. No, I was going to say,

oh, how long should I microwave? What's the perfect amount of time to microwave this? Does anybody know? Or you could just turn around and be like, what's a good snack?

What, what, what's a good feeling? You sit here all day. What do people, what do people order from this machine? straight to HR.

Straight to HR. Why is that going to HR? Because of the aggressive nature. You just called someone a snack. You just called someone a snack. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I did not. I was like looking at the machine.

Hmm. You. Why do people order from this machine? It wasn't like I want to order you or what code combo are you to get you to. Okay, Kevin Spacey. Why am I Kevin Spacey? I'm not. I'm asking their opinion, but in a strong manner.

Right. Right, okay. And what else is in there? Don't you dare get the two-minute noodles. No, don't do that. That just shows that you're incapable. No, I won't. Why don't you just go up to her?

I mean, I would never do this, but why don't you just go up to her? I mean, I would never do this. But why don't you just go up to her and ask her? What? What? Out. No. She's not seeing anyone. Are you kidding me?

Have you ever done that? I could never do that. But people do that. I did it. I did. When I was younger, there was a really hot guy in the pool. And he had, like, this hot tattoo on his chest. And there was light

How old were you? Light I would have been 16 No How old was he? How many years in prison had he done?

18 Okay 18 maybe Right And he was like everyone was like googling over him so I was like

well Googling over him? Yeah Like he was he was a hottie They all had googling Okay And I was like I'm just gonna do it So And yeah Googling over him. Yeah. Like, he was a hottie. Googlier. They all had Googlier. All right, okay. And I was like, I'm just going to do it.

So you... And, yeah, I went up to him, and I can't remember what I said. Early bird gets the worm. But we ended up... Yeah, we ended up seeing each other for a little bit. Yeah, my friend said to me, he's way too hot for you. And I was like, um, okay. Watch this.

Watch this. So what happened? Well, obviously, we're not together anymore. Yeah, well, duh. But how long did you go out with pool guy for? It was like on and off for like 10 months maybe. What? Yeah.

And then I went round to his place once and there was another girl on his bed. So that kind of fizzled out. Oh, that'll happen with guys with tattoos that you pick up at the pool. Okay, I just want to know, has anybody ever done that? Just gone up to someone and asked them for a number? Surely. Just without any pre-chat at all. That's kind of like, that's spicy.

I couldn't even, could you do that? No. No way. I couldn't even say, what would you order from the snack machine without you guys referring me to the HR because I've got some Kevin Spacey creep thing going on. I'm not going to randomly ever go up to someone and be like, hello. I was just watching you from afar.

And I liked what I saw. Might I have your contact at home? You see, this is why you can't. I feel like guys would really like that, wouldn't they, if a girl just came up and was like, hey, I'm into it. I would assume they were trying to scam me. Yeah, that's how low my opinion is of my appearance. What do you want?

I've got no cash on me. I'm definitely not rich enough to go for scamming. Are you a Russian bot in real life? Okay, well, let's take some calls. 0800-DANCE-AT-M 9696. Has someone random ever come up to you and asked for your number or have you done it to someone? Jared needs some courage.

Somebody said, from what they heard of that vending machine, Jared, a white chocolate macadamia biscuit, elegant, and the mention of it made me slightly aroused. Okay. And that's a text in from Kevin. I'm actually looking at the cheese and crackers. Oh, get out of here. What are you trying to tell her?

You're boring? A little grazing platter, maybe? Yeah, yeah, you could put together a plan to get that. The Doritos. Make a vending machine grazing platter. There's a bag of nuts there too. You totally could. Crack open a couple of Red Bulls.

So we're talking about if you've ever just gone up to somebody and asked for their number or asked them out, or if it's ever happened to you. No pre-chat, just straight up. I was in the... Oh, are we... I've got to check because sometimes I've read out text messages, but they're...

On the phone. They're on the phone, yeah, and you get in trouble, don't you? Oh, you're trying that one. Let's go to Kelly. Kelly, somebody's come up to you at work and just asked for your number. Yeah. So I worked in a supermarket in the deli.

Okay. And so I was at work, like, in my giant chef top and, like, those checkered chef pants, like, looking terrible. Yeah, they obviously weren't. And this guy ordered some, I don't know what, like ham or something. I think I was 18, so it was a long time ago.

Okay. And I gave it to him and I said, is there anything else you'd like with that? And he just said, yeah, your number. And I was so shocked. Did you give him your number? No, he was quite old. Oh. Oh. Right.

A bit older than me, and I got scared. See, that's the thing. Yeah. It's not for everybody. No, I know. It's approaching strangers. No, and there was, like, other people around looking in my other, like, my colleague's head, and they were already laughing, and I was just like, oh, God.

Oh, my God. Oh, no. I would have been like, I'm just going downstairs. I'd be like, if you're buying... And then pretend to do that thing while you walk down the stairs. If you're buying shaved ham, mate, you can't afford my number. So true. You've got to buy the olives.

Yeah. Or ham off the bone at least. Yeah. Yeah, very true. Or some of that salad that looks like it's going to be affordable, but then you get a punnet of it and you're like, holy shit, $18 for a beetroot salad? No, ditch that.

You ditch it with the biscuits in the biscuit aisle. You betcha. We're talking about plucking up the courage and just walking up to a stranger and just saying, I don't know. Whatever I say is going to sound creepy. Yeah, but ask. Hey, babe.

No. Hey, babe. Hi, babe. Asking a stranger out or asking for their number. It really takes some balls. We are hearing from so many women who work in male-dominated industries. Oh, yeah. This is like their number. It really takes some balls. We are hearing from so many women who work in male-dominated industries. Oh, yeah.

They're just like, this is like their everyday. This is everyday. Really? They don't see women, so when they do, they're just like, must ask out. Oh, my God. Must try to copulate. Make babies, I must. Yeah, they said that, yeah, trucking, like women who work in the truck driving industry,

they say they'll get back to, like, the depot and there's flowers waiting for them. And they don't say, like, who it's from. Like, say, oh. You're just supposed to know. From the blue scarnia that flashed his lights at you. I guess that's how you flirt, right? That's trucking romance right there, isn't it?

Julia, what happened? I was standing in line for AA because I had to get a new license so i lost mine oh did you get a better photo no i was no i had to say unfortunately okay but uh you live and you learn um don't get it hung over and then so i was standing in line and i've been lying for like 20 minutes and this guy was standing in front of me it was like my age and after 20 minutes he just kind of turned around with his phone open and the Snapchat ad friends was open

he just pushed his phone towards me and went hmm like made a noise and I went oh no thank you and then he nodded

and then turned back around and that was it made a noise huh yeah wow it was just like the noise was kind of like

how about it it was like huh and I was like oh no thank you so yeah and then you had to stand there still for like oh that would have been awkward it was like, no, thank you. So, yeah. And then you had to stand there still for like, oh, that would have been awkward.

It was like another 10 minutes, yeah. Right, okay. But was he not your type or was it just the situation was a bit weird and you were hungover and you'd lost your purse? I mean, I've worn socks and sandals before, but I wouldn't want to ask for a girl's number in socks and sandals and sweatpants. Oh, right.

So, if someone's listening and they were thinking of trying this, they would need to be hot. This is what we're getting a lot of. I feel like hot people would get away with it, though, you know? Yeah, yeah. Okay, hey, thanks for your call. Brad, did you ask somebody or did they ask you? Just straight off the bat.

I went up to somebody and actually asked them. They were standing in line at the food court at the old QE2 swimming pool in Christchurch. Okay. Went up to them, started having a chat. All was going well. Got their number. They were fully dressed, normal clothes.

I was swimming. Yeah. About 10 minutes later, I went and jumped back in the swimming pool and there they were again. So I thought, awesome. Went and had a chat to them. They had no idea who I was, what was going on,

until they turned around and pointed at their twin sister that I'd spoken to sitting up there in the middle. I felt like quite a prick. Oh, wow. That's amazing. Surely if you're a twin, though, you're like, I don't know this person. You're probably after the person that looks exactly like me.

Yeah. Hiya, thanks. You're cool, Brad. Ricky, you're like, I don't know this person. You're probably after the person that looks exactly like me. Yeah. Hiya. Thanks, you call Brad. Ricky, you went up to somebody? Well, I was a courier driver. Yeah. And I was working in Wellington City, and I'd seen this florist, this girl, for months and months on end, and it drove me crazy.

And finally, one day, I got the nerve up to ask her out for a coffee or a drink or anything. Yeah. And unfortunately, she let me down in a nice way and she said, I'm really sorry to tell you this, I'm flattered, but I'm married. Oh, no! So, you know, I left it alone for a little while and embarrassed.

So I tried not to purposely go past her or see her. And all I can say is, seven years later now, we've got identical twin girls and a mortgage. What? And yes, and that's our life. You've skipped over the good bit. Basically, I said to her, you know, it's like the

Alanis Morissette song where I've finally found the person I want now and she's bloody married. That's exactly how the Alanis Morissette song went, by the way. I'm unsure. I thought you were about to say it's like 10,000 spoons. But they're bloody married.

All I need is a knife, you know. Wow. Oh, that's super cute, Ricky. Hey, thanks for your call, mate. Some text messages in on being asked out. A month ago, my 19-year-old daughter served somebody at work. 20 minutes later, the guy called the store asking for the blonde girl. He asked her out.

She was like, hello. He asked her out for dinner. She was like, no. But that was weird because. Yeah, like do it in person at least. Yeah. Yeah. I was working for New Zealand Fashion Week for Mercedes last year

looking after the car. Were they the one that kicked you out of Fashion Week? Yes, but that's your fault. Remember? But not this person that wasn't Mercedes'

security, wasn't it? A guy across ATS Square was checking out what I thought was the car. I saw him walking over and I was like, I don't know if this car is going to ask about the car.

And he went straight in and asked for my number and I said, I thought you were looking at the car and he's like, not don't know if this car is going to ask about the car. And he went straight in and asked for my number. And I said, oh, I thought you were looking at the car. And he's like, not interested in the car. Okay. But then no word whether or not they went out or not. Oh, right. Okay. No.

I worked in a dairy when I was 16. People would always come in, buy things. I remember one guy bought a whole bunch of durries. I said, would you like your receipt? And he said, only if it's got your number on it. And it was like really creepy. Yeah. And plus, ooh, durries.

That's their word. A guy walked up to me when I was a waitress and said, excuse me, you dropped this and passed me a piece of paper and it was a note asking for my number. We dated for a few weeks. I was still only young, didn't last, but now he's a hot cop. Oh, right. Obviously he wasn't a hot cop at the time,

but then it's got the sweaty face emoji, so maybe they've got a thing for a man in uniform. Tip on what not to do for your producer. A very awkward accountant at my previous place of work

approached me with an A4 handwritten note declaring his feelings. He signed off the note by asking me out for dinner followed by a yes, no, or maybe tick box. Oh, I think that's cute. Do you think that's what he was going for?

Because that's got like real, like, because obviously what you're doing is very schoolyard, so they're trying to make the schoolyard. Yeah, they were trying to be funny, right? Yeah, yeah, trying to make it like it's in a schoolyard. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. All right, it's an age-old tradition. Friday Flashback.

And Papadopoulos really feeling the pressure last minute. Struggling to find a song. The song I wanted to play from this is We Don't Have a System. So don't come at me if you're like, should I play it a bit of this person's song? But we have to celebrate her because she got married this week. And gosh, she's had some tumultuous times with her personal life.

I know, I was thinking about that when she got married this week. She was like really out there. And wasn't she in rehab as well at some? Yeah. I feel like she was always overshadowed a bit by Amy Winehouse. Would you put them in the same?

She was way more pop than... Then she sung a song about her little brother, and everyone was like, who's that? And then he was on Game of Thrones. Yeah. Alfie. So Lily Allen got married this week to the sheriff from Stranger Things. It's a lot.

It's a lot to work out. And it was like a shotgun Vegas Elvis wedding, wasn't it? Yeah. She wore a cute Christian Dior dress but then had an In-N-Out burger. How long have they been going out? So they confirmed their engagement in June

I believe. But I think not long before that we were like, whoa, they're going out? So I'm not actually sure. Official timeline on that relationship. But as long as she's happy, you know? Because I feel like it's been a long journey for Lily Allen. This timeline on that relationship. But as long as she's happy, you know? Because I feel like it's been a long journey for Lily Allen. This was her debut single from 2006.

Now you're calling me up on the phone So you can have a little wine and a moan It's only because you're feeling alone At first when I see you cry Yeah, it makes me smile Yeah, it makes me smile At worst I feel bad for a while

But then I just smile I go ahead and smile And I smile I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while. I feel bad for a while

But then I just smile I go ahead and smile It's your Friday Flashback on CDM Fleets. Morning Megan, it's Lily Allen Smile. And just before we get to the feedback,

a reminder in two weeks time it will be Vaughan Smith's ABBA Friday Flashback. I've been doing some deep ABBA research. Right, okay. I didn't steal your ABBA idea.back. I've been doing some deep ABBA research. Right, okay. I didn't steal your ABBA idea. Thank you.

Yeah, no worries. Well, I mean, it was plagiarism if you did. I'm calling in sick at 8 o'clock in two weeks. Oh, you'll be there. Richie pose. You'll be loving it too. Someone said, first tape I ever had in my first car. Oh, wow.

Yeah, where's that car now? Probably rusty and no warrant for this. Nailed it, Pavis Lovett, Megan. Someone said not as good as last week. But, I mean, you've followed me everywhere, Megan. It's a hard act to follow. It's a hard act to follow. All right, special guest joining us on the phone is Miley Cyrus.

Hello, good morning. Hi, hi, hi. It's so good to talk to you. Good to talk to you too. Thank you. Thank you so good to talk to you. Good to talk to you too. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. Your album, She Is Miley Cyrus, is your seventh studio album, released in a COVID world, delayed a little bit by COVID,

but it's coming. How are you feeling about it all? Listen, you know what? I'm just happy that I'm able to continue working, you know, especially over here in the States. That's a big struggle and something that not everybody is that lucky to be able to continue to do their work, do their job. It's an honor to be able to continue to work in an industry where I can continue to make art and continue to put out, you know, some good old pop culture escapism for my fans. Well, you're supporting our industry too

because there isn't a lot of new music coming out. So it was quite a surprise when we got new stuff from you. Yeah, you know what? Like the music industry, you know, it's been changing over the last couple of years. I think all of us are just trying to adjust and that's something that's been really beautiful about streaming is, you know, in a physical world, making physical records,

it would be too dangerous for people to go to a record store, go buy my new single, you know, have a party where you guys don't jump in your truck and listen to the album the first time. With streaming, it's been such a gift because we've been able to continue to make music. Now, a lot of artists, because of streaming and the replays of songs, are making their songs two and a half minutes. Your latest song is three minutes nineteen. It's very hard for radio announcers to go to the toilet

after one song. Are there any shorter songs on this album? Like what are we looking at here? Listen, my favourite song going up was Freebird, so I'm not the one to talk to. Yes! Yes! Freebird is a radio... We don't even play Freebird, but we know the appreciation one to talk to. Yes, yes. Freebird is a really, we don't even play Freebird,

but we know the appreciation of a Freebird. Yes, yes. Because that's enough time to go. I know my dad, that was my way that I could always be late to school because my dad loved that song so much. I would always do this, it's like nine minutes long. So I would get him in the truck and be like, please dad, can we just listen to Freebird one more time?

And then I'd be like, yes, I got ten more minutes in the car. I love it. Do we have, like, a date from you for this album? You know what? I think it's been really hard, I think, for anyone to make any concrete plans because everything's been changing so much. So I don't really have a plan.

I'm just feeling grateful that I've been able to put out some new music right now and figuring out what would be best and how to have the record live to its fullest potential, even in some times that are just unprecedented. Is it weird releasing music not knowing that a tour will follow? Like, I'm imagining most times that's kind of the timeline of it. Release a couple of singles, get the album out there,

and then, you know, the tour's on the horizon, but that's kind of in the world we're living in, not really a realistic option at the moment. Yeah yeah and that's always been a big part of my of my journey is like connecting with the fans and growing up i literally grew up with that seeing them summer to summer to summer and all of us growing up and and being different as i evolve they evolve and so there's definitely a real void and a lack and an emptiness i feel not being able to connect with the fans directly right now. So yeah, that's definitely something that I've been thinking about and

wanting the record to live to its potential means I really want to be able to see people singing along like face to face. And how have you been coping just because I mean, we're quite lucky I guess in New Zealand. We still have COVID but maybe a little bit less than everywhere else around the world. But how

have you been coping personally? You know, it's all been really kind of changing. In the beginning, I had a lot of fear, you know, because I haven't ever been away from my parents this long. I was really worried about my mom because she's older and vulnerable and all that stuff. And now I've kind of gotten into a good system where I've locked down. This has now kind of become a blessing because I've gotten my mom to kind of live with me,

which is my dream. You know, that's the thing. That's what happens is you hate your parents until the day you're 18 and they kick you out. And then you're like, wait, can I come back? Like, what about my bed is always unmade and like I'm starving. And, you know, I wake up every day with, like, my yogurt and

granola in my bed. I'm looking at my bed right now. My mom's come in and made my bed like a freaking hotel. Wow. Yes. I'm such a baby. I'm the biggest baby ever. My mom literally is waiting for me to get all done with these

calls so we can have dinner right now. It's the best. Somehow I've convinced my mom to really mom to really bathe me right now. Oh, wow. You're living the dream. I'm living the dream. All my siblings mostly are in Nashville right now, so it's been a while that I've gotten her to myself.

Oh, yeah. Okay, you're hogging her as well. I like that. I like taking mom away, hogging her, and getting the bed made and the dinner cooked. Yeah, it's the best. It's awesome. It's like, yeah,

it's really, it's really the best. What about, and then, because I'm also a little bit worried. Have you talked to your godmother, Dolly Parton, lately? Because when I was saying...

Yeah, you know what? She never stopped. She never stopped. She hasn't not toured or not made a record. And, you know, I can imagine, I feel like a total culture shock right now.

Not making music, not touring and all that. And I've only been doing it as long as I have. So she actually just made a Christmas record. And she only does, like, physical copies. So I was cutting it. I have a song on her record that I was cutting in June in my kitchen for Christmas. Because she's like, you know, Molly, I got to make physicals. That's what my audience, that's how they listen

to music. They go and buy CDs. And she'll say they buy she'll say it's a cassette if you ask her. They got to buy our cassette. So then I know they will. I just know they will. You spoke about how you're not getting in physical touch with your

fans so much anymore. Does that mean you have to turn to social media a bit more? Because I've been noticing a lot, I guess recently, that there's a lot of negativity towards celebrities and stuff on social media. And I just don't know whether you, in times like these, find it easy to turn to social media or do you still stay away from it? I think it's good to be able to connect with the fans and, you know, let them in.

And, again, I kind of try to keep people entertained, less about what I'm doing at home during quarantine, but more about keeping them entertained, making things that make it feel normal. You know, me doing normal things actually would make it obvious that things aren't normal. The more I take my clothes off and swing around on disco balls, the more normal that life seems.

But in saying that, I think your followers would really like to see how your mum does a hospital sheet on your bed when she makes it. If I was at home, like, cooking, if I was at home cooking dinner with my cats, everyone would be like, man, the world's really good. But, you know. I did actually find, I did find comfort in you being on that mirror ball.

I'm not going to lie. It felt good. That's what I mean. They're like, oh, okay, like, Miley's naked again. She's doing, like, my jaw's on the floor. Listen, things are kind of normal. By me being a freak, it puts everything into perspective.

It takes us back to the safe place of like 2014 and who knew that was going to be our safe place when we were there in 2014. Yeah, I know. Hey Miley, we're super excited for your new album. We'll let you go because I know that your mum's got dinner ready. Do we know what's for dinner tonight?

Well, I'm scared that she's put sauna in it, which I do not partake, but she does. I need to go over there right now and see what these oils are. Right. Okay, well, we'll leave you to it. Thanks for the chat. Thank you. Right now, we're about to launch a new way to it. Thanks for the chat. Thank you. Right now, we're about to launch a new

way to win. Yeah, but it's not just going to be an easy win, is it? Well, no, this will take a bit of effort to be honest. Your effort will be rewarded. It was this time yesterday actually, we were talking about side hustles and the stat came out it was like

20% of Kiwis after the lockdowns started a side hustle. And a lot I guess because they had some time and also because people were forced to. Being made redundant. Yeah, or they had jobs that dried up. And nothing will make you

carpe diem, seize the moment, like a global pandemic. Yep. I thought it was seize the day. Yeah, I thought it was seize the day too. Carpe diem. Is it? Is die Like a global pandemic. Yeah. I thought it was seize the day. Yeah, I thought it was seize the day too. Carpe diem. Is it? Diem day. Diem's day.

Diem's day, I think. Right, it was diem's moment. Carpe is seize and carpe momento. Sure. Let's have a moment on the carpet. So we thought we've got to do something with this because the feedback was like pretty crazy. Yeah.

Because we asked what your side hustles were. We talked to someone with duvet domes. Yeah. Because we asked what your side hustles were. We talked to someone with their duvet domes. Yeah. We talked to, fantastic. In fact, we'll get the details from the duvet domeette herself. In just a minute. But we've got to play the intro first that we've had made. So you'd be familiar with Dragon's Den.

There's Dragon's Den. There's Shark Tank. Yeah. Do we get any of these shows in New Zealand? We used to, right? Yeah, we used to get Dragon's Den. Didn't we have our own? We had our own version because Jerry Serapisos was on it.

That's right. That's right. I thought he was on The Apprentice. Yeah, no, he was. He was on The Apprentice. God, your Serapisos knowledge never ceases to amaze me. We did do Dragon's Den, but America does Shark Tank because, I don't know, they don't like the name Dragon's Den.

There's lots of other, there's like Tiger Money. Oh, okay. In several Asian countries, there was Tiger Money. Well, we have. There's lots of different international versions. We have launched our own. They're self-made business amateurs worth nothing. Carl Fletcher, a shrewd speculator who's never committed to anything and made absolutely no fortune.

Megan Pappas, she dominated the fashion world with her shoe hack. And she's showing us she's a one-trick pony. Vaughn Smith, the son of a successful farmer. He rode on the coattails of his daddy's swan drive for too long and has achieved nothing. Dive into Fleshpot and Megan's Fishy Tank. It's sad how accurate that is. Yeah, very accurate. Ouch.

Yeah, I mean, you've got a cafe, so you've kind of got some business. Yeah, but if we're honest, Andrew does most of that. Yeah, you just... Because I'm here and you turn up.

But it worked well so we can provide that kind of thing and we work on a radio station there'll be advertising willy-nilly at least a few people listening we can tell them tell them about it now to give you an idea of i don't want to i feel like we're gloating a little bit here but i don't if you remember yesterday nikki joins us again nikki we spoke to you yesterday. You're the duvet dome lady.

Yeah. The duvet dome dame. The dame of duvet domes. Just remind us about your side hustle. What are duvet domes? So the duvet dome is an iron-on patch that you iron on to your duvet inner

and the opposite side to the inside of your duvet cover and it snaps it together so that it doesn't wriggle around inside. There's no slippage ever. Now, what was your website again, Nicky? Duvetdomes.com. Nicky, did you get my order? I did. Thank you.

Now, what happened when we mentioned you? Shut up. You didn't tell the whole country. That's his charity of the day. Excuse me. Nikki, what happened when we mentioned that website? The little Shopify, when you make a sale on the Shopify site, it goes Kitching.

I put my money where my mouth is. I invested. And you bought the hot sauce, didn't you? I bought the hot sauce from yesterday too. I was an easy sell. I got home because I was telling Sade about the duvet armor. She's like, oh my God, we need one. I was like, hon, already done.

Don't want to gloat again, but yeah, it is. I don't see Spotify doing that. Do I? I don't see Spotify helping that. Do I? I don't see Spotify helping

Yeah, we could do that, could we? We do what we want. Put that down too, billboard. No, we don't. We very much do what we're told. That's fine. That was my attempt to try to make a fish noise. All right, you can read this at ZM online.

Flesh, fawn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Ah. Day, day, day, day. And it's your chance to win cash. Thanks to Save My Back in helping you borrow money online and growing your credit score at the same time. We'll ask you a question about this following fact of the day. At midday and four o'clock, your chance to win $500 cash each time.

Today's fact of the day is, do you know, have you ever been like, where did cows come from? No. Where did cows where did cows. Like a gold farm. Yeah, like where did cows roam wild? Like what part of the world did they start out in? Yeah. No, I've never wondered that.

I do now. You've what? You've never been like, it's the same with chickens. I'm like, where were chickens chilling? Like before we made them what we want. I don't really think that in depth about anything. Oh yeah? Like that. Like they're just around, aren't they?

They were just chilling somewhere. I don't know. Yeah. Like Jesus made everything and stuff. So it's just there. I don't question it. I don't give the sun the credit for the father's work. So I think about this.

Whenever I see like a domesticated animal, I'm like, where'd you come from? Cats, pyramids. They were like, weren't they all, because the Egyptians built lots of cats, didn't they? Yeah, the Egyptians were huge fans of cats. So that's what I think. And they've been domesticated by then. But, you know, it's pretty obvious where cats came from because they're still wild cats. Yeah, right.

Like there's still wild cats around the world. Different sorts of cats. But cows right. There's still wild cats around the world, different sorts of cats. But cows were always like proper cows. I'm not meant to exclude any species of cows here. I'm not being cowist. But, you know, I know bison. Yeah. They're in America.

You know bisons? No. They're brown ones. They've got the big horns. Big horns. And then you've got water buffalo and stuff. But what about like cow cows, like dairy cows? I don't know.

Why don't you tell us? Well, I will. Native to Europe. Oh. That was going to be my guess. The earliest cows stood almost as tall as elephants. And they were lean and powerful. And they had big horns that would make hunters think twice.

How much milk would you get out of an elephant-sized cow? So, enough to feed the baby, but not as much as the modern dairy cow because the modern dairy cow has been bred to be a better milker. Oh, okay, right. The modern chicken has been bred to lay more eggs. Yeah, and be fatter. But what were these massive cows descendants of? Were they just...

Were they just land mammals? And they were huge, like an elephant. They were big, yeah. They were really, really big. So they were domesticated. And when they domesticated them, obviously they were roam-less. Right. So they couldn't get the varied diet and just eat whatever they wanted,

how much they wanted, and just keep walking and just keep eating. Did they ever ride them? Ancient, like ancient humans may have. Yeah. Because there's cave paintings of them. Really? Yeah. That's great.

But the last of the species died in Poland in 1627. Wow. And it's one of the first recorded cases of extinction. I wonder if that was frowned upon, you know, like when you go to Thailand and ride an elephant? Yeah, maybe you weren't supposed to ride them. To ride an auroch. That's a cow.

Auroch. By the way, they were called an auroch. An auroch. So you go ride a cow and put it on the cave wall and then you get shamed on social media for... Someone else comes around and they're like, when was this painted? And you're like, it was ages ago.

Like, no one knew? Like, we didn't know riding elephants was bad then. No one knew. Yeah. Like, I'm sure, like, when was this painted? And you're like, it was ages ago. No one knew? Like, we didn't know Riding Elephants was bad then. Yeah. I'm sure I can look back on it and it actually helps me see the better person I've become. Yeah. And I've put it on Only Me on Facebook, that album, so no one else can see it apart from me. Which is what you do with all your shameful photos, because you need to remember that

you did it, but no one else needs to see it. Next to that album of that time, I went to the Sedated Tigers at the Sanctuary. Oops. They were monks. We believed they wanted the best for them. Yeah. And they were putting them in the freezer, weren't they,

when they died. That was mind-blowing. So today's fact of the day is that the ancient relatives of, like, look out your window. If you're in the country, you might see a cow. I know I've got a cow, and it descends from this cow. Don't tap your watch if you're non-existent. If you forget your Apple Watch,

you're not allowed to tap the part of your wrist where the watch goes. Right? That only works if you're wearing a watch. Today's fact of the day is the ancient relatives of our cows were native to Europe and they died out in 1627. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. R.I.P. to Dame Diana Rigg.

She has passed away at the age of 82. You may not know her by that name, but you may know her as Elena Tyrell. What did we call her? Not Mother Tyrell or something? Granny Tyrell. Granny Tyrell. She was we call her? Not Mother Tyrell or something? Granny Tyrell. Granny Tyrell. She was great on Game of Thrones. She was one of my favourite characters. She was sassy as.

And she got out at the right time too. Yes, she did. I wonder if you're the worst person I've ever met. At a certain age, it's hard to recall. But the truly vile do stand out through the years. Do you remember the way you smirked at me when my grandson and granddaughter were dragged off to their cells? I do. I'll never forget it.

That's her talking to Cersei. She was 80. Yeah. 82. She got diagnosed with cancer in March. Tell Cersei it was me. Yeah, what a line. That's right. I wanted to play that line,

but the music's so loud in the background, you need to see her lips moving. Right. Tell sir, say it was me. Yeah, she was brilliant. She was also a Bond girl. So the actual James Bond Twitter account said we're very sad to hear the passing of Diana Rigg,

the legendary stage and screen actress. They said she's the only woman to have married James Bond. She tied down a bond. Yeah. She did the impossible. Game of Thrones have honoured her as well. It said, be a dragon. The realm will always remember Diana Rigg.

She had that speech with Khaleesi telling her to be a dragon. She has some great lines. She was in Avengers, not like the Marvel Avengers, but like the 1960s, the Avengers. She was in Avengers, not like the Marvel Avengers, but like the 1960s, the Avengers. She was in that. Which was iconic as well. Yeah, I remember my granddad talking about her. He thought she was a bit of all right.

Transcends the generations. Yeah. Yeah, RIP. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, somebody has done a poll to work out New Zealand's sexiest regional airport. Sexiest? Oh, I think it's like favouritist. You said it was such.

I think you're amongst a minority few that would consider an airport sexy. Sexy. Well, yeah, I do. I miss travelling. Practical. Love a good airport. Well, then this is good because you can go to the sexiest ones in New Zealand. In September 11.

Yep. A date synonymous with aircraft. Travel, yes. Do you know, I listened to a podcast about how September 11 changed the design of an airport and not just the security design, but like where people spend more of their time. Really? Pre-September 11, people spent more time on the pre-security side of things. Really? Yeah.

So you didn't have to go inside and be there for ages? You'd check in. Yeah. And then you wouldn't go through the security until you needed to. Right. You'd hang out. Okay. But then it became more of a priority to spend, to get through security, give yourself lots of time to get through security.

And people were aware of heightened security. So it made the other side of the airport. And like you think about Auckland Airport. If you can remember it, even not like before September 11, but closer to 2001. Everything happened on this side of security. Yeah, right. And there was nothing. They've only just kind of got everything happening on that other side of security.

And that was apparently September 11th and just that urgency to get through security because you knew it was going to take longer. It's going to be a process. It's going to change the whole design of airports. All right. Well, there'll be a bit of regional pride coming in here on this list. So there's 14. Number one to 14.

Can I, at this stage, before the list is even read out, I'd like to opt out. Why? Because the Waikato Airport's not great. It's on the list. Hamilton Airport's number eight on the list of people's favourite airport. So these are all the regional ones, not the main ones, not your main hubs like Auckland, Wellington, Queensland, Christchurch. I want to adopt one.

Well, the 14th place Hokitiki Airport which I've been in it's like a cute little it's actually really cute Timaru is that on the list? I've never been to that airport

Marlborough Airport is 13 Whanganui 12 I haven't been there Whangarei is 11 haven't been to that one Hawke's Bay Airport that's 10

we've been there that's had a zhuzh though recently. Yeah, that had a zhuzh. That's not bad. Invercargill Airport's 9. Hamilton, it's 8. Palm at 7. I can't believe Hamilton beats Invercargill.

Is it because everyone's angry at Invercargill because you get diverted there when you can't land in Queenstown? Probably. So they have bad memories of that airport. Yeah, maybe. Rotorua Airport is at 6. I don't mind that. It's a good airport. Good airport. Airport is at six. I don't mind that. It's a good airport.

Good airport. Whakatane Airport. I've never been there. Number five. Is Whakatane Airport the one that looks like a castle? Oh, yeah.

Look at that. It looks like a little playground. It looks like a playground. Ew. What? That's so sweet. It's like a 70s motel

with a stained mattress. In a small regional town. Well, it's number five. I's like a 70s motel with a stained mattress. In a small regional town. Well, it's number five. I'm going to put it turreted. Tauranga Airport is at four. Gizzy Airport is at three. Is it trying to go across the train track? Yes.

In the photo for this, there's literally a train halfway through the runway. Because, yeah, I couldn't believe that the first time I landed there. And it was like land, the tyre scratch, and then it was like going over the railway lines. What? And they shut the trains off if there's a plane coming in. If I was a train, I'd be like, no, I reckon I'll come off better. Yeah, second place, New Plymouth Airport.

It had a rejouge. It's very fancy now. Regional prime. They literally opened it on the first day or the day before Level 4. Not as fancy as? Nelson, which is number one. Yeah. We used to be famous for the horrible carpet.

It was an awful carpet. It was an awful carpet. But you know why they put patent carpet down? It's because it hides stains better and it's a high foot traffic area. You don't want to have to get the rug doctor out every second week into the... Now, whenever I go home, my parents are always like, have you seen the updates at the airport? It looks really nice now.

Everyone's really proud of it. But it does look nice and it's got first place now. Were they proud when they were talking about how much it would cost ratepayers to build it? Probably not. I think they just skip over that part. It's Boomer 101. They want the nicest thing, but they don't want to have to pay for it. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, one, they want the nicest thing, but they don't want to have to pay for it.
