Welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. All thanks to McCafe. Get a delicious barista-made coffee from Macca's drive-thru today.
ZM. Hit music. Live the air. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
Minus Vaughan today. Who's got a headache?
Had a big day yesterday before we pop it.
Big day filming. Have you been paying attention? Which is on TVNZ2 at 8.30
on Wednesdays.
Has that ticked that liner off, Anna?
Fantastic.
What's today, Tuesday?
I was like, is that not tonight? Damn it.
No, Tuesday.
It's only Tuesday.
Yeah.
Yeah, sans born today.
Poor wee love.
It makes more work for Megan and I.
We'll be honest.
We've got a lot more workload today.
If you notice, a few more songs today.
Please don't say anything.
We're trying out this thing called More Music Mornings.
Yeah.
Oh, I think that's a thing already.
More Music Mornings.
ZM.
Done. Done.
Done.
And that's just code for we have to do less work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Less talking from us.
It's a great idea.
Oh, yeah, the top six isn't coming up because Vaughn does it.
That was going to be my go-to.
We should talk about this British model,
this Instagram model who's been getting some,
that story you found this morning.
Only fans.
Can we talk about that?
Because we've been talking about only fans quite a lot recently.
She's, yeah, opened up about what she's been getting requests for.
Some bizarre requests.
Only fans.
Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
A model, her name is Alison Parker.
She has made millions on OnlyFans.
Can you, so OnlyFans have been talking a lot about that recently.
Is it a subscription thing?
Yeah, so, well, because I remember when I made a joke
and said I had some New Zealand goss on Instagram
and I said sign up to my OnlyFans.
As a joke, I was getting messages from people saying,
I've signed up, now what do I do?
I was like, I was joking.
Like Kiwis.
Yeah, I was joking.
Oh my God, flattering though.
Yeah, flattering.
I was like, okay, I wouldn't make any money on that.
So you make an account and then you post your sexy photos.
Yeah, yeah.
And people subscribe for however much money you decide.
Yeah.
So I was going to say it's like, it is sexy stuff, right?
Yeah.
Or it could be like, you could put up your manky feet, your webbed feet.
Hey, there's something for everyone.
There is something for everyone.
Someone would enjoy them.
I mean, I don't know how much they'd pay.
But this Instagram model who's got like 7 million followers,
she'd make a lot of money.
Alison is her name.
She's an absolute babe.
But she has revealed some requests that she's been given over OnlyFans.
In fact, the weirdest thing she said was in a DM,
may I purchase a Tupperware of one of your large bowel movements?
I can tell you how to legally package it.
A Tupperware?
Tupperware don't want to be dragged into that.
Also, the fact that the person said I can tell you how to legally package it would suggest that they've done it before.
Yeah, that's odd, eh?
Yuck.
And then what?
How much?
Did she say how much?
No.
How much did you charge for that?
Where's the rate sheet?
Where's the rate card?
What's the going rate?
I don't know.
And does it depend on quality?
But I mean, it's something you do for free every day, so, you know.
But then I feel like I would get self-conscious and I'd be like,
that one's not good enough to give to someone.
You know?
Or, like, also large.
Like, what constitutes large?
Like, what if they get it and it's unsatisfactory?
Do you get, like, a bad rating?
Yeah, did she say what else?
So, yeah, she said, well, she said I wasn't sure if I was supposed to freeze it
or the process of what went into that.
Yeah.
But yeah, she's had marriage proposals from people.
Wow, okay.
From one of her 7 million followers.
From people who already have wives, she's had marriage proposals.
She gets gifts.
This sounds good, actually.
Oh, this is now you're into it.
She gets gifts. She has this sounds good, actually. Oh, this is now you're into it. She gets gifts.
She has an Amazon wish list.
Right.
And she once got a record player, $500 record player, so what, $1,000?
But she has a pretty chill lifestyle and kind of like just lives off posting sexy photos.
It's just hot people getting it all, isn't it?
Yeah, but I mean, I don't really.
Us Megans have to work hard.
Hey, you got some requests on OnlyFans.
Maybe you should try it out.
No, that was a joke.
People wanted goss.
They didn't know what OnlyFans was.
Oh, I thought they wanted your sexy pics.
No, I didn't.
Oh, damn it.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Minus Vaughan today, who has been struck down with not COVID, but Ebola.
So, God, you just, you know, you think we're out of the woods here.
We're going to level two on Thursday and then Vaughan gets Ebola.
No, he's just got a headache or something.
Had a big day yesterday.
Had a big day yesterday. Had a big day yesterday.
Filming, have you been paying attention?
Yes, well tired.
How did you feel yesterday when Cindy said,
we're going to level two on Thursday?
I actually thought it was going to take longer.
I'm very excited.
It's like Thursday, we're going to get to go and get an hour's done.
Yeah.
Are you going to open the cafe on Thursday?
It will open for the weekend.
Right.
Okay.
Because we're going to have to order food and do all that preparation and stuff.
Right.
And are you moving your tables?
Yeah.
So the tables will need to be spaced out.
We have one server per table.
No bookings larger than 10.
The whole place can't have more than 100 people,
but we wouldn't fit that in there anyway.
Can you just take over some car parks?
Put some tables and chairs on the car parks?
Just cone them off.
Yeah, cone them off.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
I'm just thinking about it.
It's like car park service.
Or who's in charge of the car parks at your cafe?
Just do it.
Yeah, okay.
Ask for forgiveness.
Yeah.
I don't know about the vibes though, if you're sitting in the car park and there's cafe. Just do it. Yeah, okay. Ask for forgiveness. Yeah. I don't know about the, like, vibes, though,
if you're sitting in the car park and there's, like, people parking up beside you.
Put some pot plants there.
Yeah, okay.
Nice.
Well, a list has been released of the level three breaches
of the Civil Defence Emergency Management or Health Act
by district.
Because we had this for level four.
We did.
We had basically the naughty regions, the naughty list.
And it's quite interesting seeing these because they released as well the, do you remember
Google released that data of people's phones?
Yeah.
And you know, for generally, it showed people weren't leaving their house.
I'm so proud.
But it was also very creepy that they've got that kind of data.
I know.
That they can see our mass movement like that.
See where we're going, yeah.
But then also we shouldn't be surprised
because that's how like Google Maps work
and tells us we're going to be 10 minutes late.
And I've also just left that on
because if I ever get accused of something
that I didn't do,
I want them to know where I was.
You've been watching too many Netflix murder shows.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, so the, shall I start with the least naughtiest regions?
Yeah.
And go to the most.
Northland, congratulations.
Only 19.
Now, this number, the total, includes prosecutions,
youth referrals, and warnings.
Now, of the total number for the region, I would say about 80% to 95% of the number is warning,
is just warnings.
And Northland is the only place that didn't have any youth referrals.
Yes.
The only place.
So well-behaved youths or they just didn't catch the youths.
That's true.
So maybe the youths are very good at getting away in Northland.
That's true. But Northland, only 19.
Their total number, including prosecution warnings and youth referral.
The Eastern District, 37.
Waitemata, West Auckland, 47.
The Waikato, 55.
Tasman District, 65.
A lot of boomers there.
Just don't tell me what to do.
Flouting the rules.
Yep, I'll be fine.
The Wellington region, 79.
I think that's a bit better than last time.
Wasn't Wellington second?
Very naughty in level four, Wellington.
So you've picked up your game there.
The Bay of Plenty, 86.
So again, this number including prosecution warnings
and youth referrals for breaches of level three.
The Bay of Plenty, 86.
Getting into the top five now.
Canterbury, 90.
All up.
Okay.
We're still under 100.
Yeah.
Of that 90, 55 of those were prosecutions.
That was the highest number of prosecutions.
So Canterbury, you're number one in prosecutions.
Good work.
Naughty.
Naughty. Next on the
list, Auckland City.
100.
That's you, Fletch. That's me.
I, to be honest,
I did notice at the weekend just gone,
hive of activity in the city. Really?
Going from, yeah, you just hear the noise around.
But are people, did you notice like people were out, but are they distancing?
Yes.
Okay.
I'd say on the majority.
On the whole, yeah.
On the majority.
I actually heard a tui in the city, in a tree.
I walked past a tree and heard a tui.
And I looked up and I saw it.
And I was like, that's a tui in the city.
Well, enjoy it because it'll be
gone by Thursday.
When the noise comes back.
Next on the list is Southern District.
So Southland,
107, the
number there. The Central North Island,
123 is
your number, prosecution warnings and youth referrals
and the number one district.
Wait, so Central was 123?
Yep.
And number one, okay.
Number one by a whopping 243.
40 prosecutions, 183 warnings and 20 youth referrals.
Counties Monaco.
They took it out again.
Took it out again.
Congratulations for being the top region for level three breaches.
Double the second place.
Naughty.
Yeah, right.
I think that's the first place you go after police college too.
Is it?
It does sound a lot of fun there, doesn't it?
Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
At 6 p.m. last night, it was dark and I was making dinner.
Someone pulled up in my driveway and I was like, I don't know who that is.
We're social distancing.
No one's supposed to be coming over.
Weird.
Well, it's just in a car.
Yeah.
And just a random car that I didn't recognize pulled into the driveway.
And I was like, what's going on here?
Came up and knocked on the door and then left.
And I was like, what?
And it was a courier.
But it was 6pm.
But just in a normal car?
In a normal car.
What kind of car?
Like a four-door?
It was just like a hatchback.
Not a van?
Oh, right, okay.
I couldn't see what, like, just like a little hatchback.
I don't know, what is that?
A car.
I don't know what kind of car.
Is it four wheels?
Four wheels.
Is it a car?
No riding on the side.
Okay.
Yeah, right.
Dropped off a courier.
In the dark at six o'clock?
Yeah, because ours usually come around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yeah, right.
And we know that the couriers are absolutely snowed under at the moment.
And we're saying be nice to your courier.
Executive intern Anya, you are waiting for your under at the moment. And we're saying be nice to your career. Executive intern, Anya,
you are waiting for your Mother's Day present,
which we won't mention.
Megan did mention it for Eagle-Eared listeners.
That was a wee Easter egg for before.
Yeah.
Yeah, go back and listen to the podcast
if you want to find out.
What Anna's mum's getting for Mother's Day.
It's a hell of a push.
So, but you're still, when did you order?
Five weeks ago.
And I was like, surely she'll be here by Mother's Day.
I didn't realise you ordered five weeks ago.
Overseas though, or New Zealand?
I think it's from Aussie, but I'm not 100% sure.
I got it from Wantsit.
So a New Zealand website.
Yeah, but they source from lots of places.
Okay, so that'll probably be why then.
So on Saturday morning, I got like a bing bong,
it's been cleared and we're good to go.
And I was like, perfect.
She'll be here by Sunday.
But alas, it is now Tuesday.
Also, the National Postal Service, New Zealand Post, Courier Post,
released an email to customers yesterday.
Listen to these stats.
They are receiving, on average, 200 parcels per minute.
Whoa!
Per minute.
Now, it says it last week received, this is more than Christmas,
received a record-breaking number of parcels.
The most in a seven-day period in history.
Wow.
And that's just New Zealand Post.
That's just New Zealand Post.
It's not the other courier postal systems that we use.
Is it a backlog?
Yes.
Okay.
So they, to give you some kind of perspective,
they have seen staff working 24-7 at 11 locations across the country.
So they are working night and day to get the stuff to us.
Well, he came at night time last night.
Exactly.
They say that while most parcels are being delivered in two to three days, the company did warn some are taking up to five days.
Good Lord.
He didn't even give me a chance.
I opened the door and I was like, thank you.
But he was like gone in the car.
And here's the other thing.
They say that taxi drivers and shuttle drivers,
like airport shuttle drivers,
who are normally busy, you know, doing other jobs,
are not as busy as usual.
So they're taking a lot of deliveries
for some extra money and helping out.
About 200 of those on the road.
Wow.
So yeah, insane, isn't it?
They've had to, now it says here they've had to source an extra 3,000 containers.
I don't know if that means shipping containers, but they've, I mean,
maybe because they're saying that they're transporting them around the country,
parcels, so 3,000 shipping containers just to transport everything
that we are ordering online.
That's why you haven't got your card yet either.
So I just wonder if it's worth us ordering
and just doing pickup the next week.
That's what I was going to ask.
Do they want us to just pause on our online shopping?
I don't think they want...
Are we supposed to keep it going?
I think we're all supposed to help our local businesses.
But yeah, if you can order, if you can pay online and then pick up're I guess all supposed to help our local businesses. Yeah.
But yeah,
if you can order,
if you can pay online
and then pick up,
that's probably going to
help the system.
Or just be patient
and realise that you're
not the only one
waiting for a parcel.
Yeah.
Yeah, good lord.
Insane.
I've got some
happiness hacks.
These are scientific things
that can actually just
make you feel a lot happier
and most of them you can do from your home.
So while you're in lockdown, if you're feeling a bit anxious,
feeling just a bit blue, these are some things you can do.
These would have been great five weeks ago, Megan.
Hey.
Hey, it's not too late.
We've still got...
A couple of days.
Yeah, a couple of days.
Oh, Thursday.
Guys, level two on Thursday.
Yeah.
Well, and people feel blue all the time. I know. We're out of lockdown. Yeah, that couple of days. Oh, Thursday. Guys, level two on Thursday. Yeah. Well, and people feel blue all the time.
I know.
Even when we're out of lockdown.
Yeah, that's true.
So you can try cognitive behavioral therapy.
CBT.
I think this is what,
is this what Selene Gomez has been doing?
I believe.
Right.
So you recognize harmful thought patterns
and then you learn to replace them with positive ones.
So, okay.
You might need a bit of help with that, I don't think.
I think that's kind of a,
you need to go to therapy
and get someone else trained to like,
help you recognise your negative thought patterns
because if we knew what they were just instinctively,
we could probably just change it.
Yeah, but that's not how addiction works, is it?
No.
Yeah, and I don't know what my negative thought patterns are.
I just saw a tantrum. Yeah, okay. And it's always No. Yeah, and I don't know what my negative thought patterns are. I just throw a tantrum.
Yeah, okay.
And it's always valid.
Yeah, absolutely.
Buy flowers for yourself.
So don't wait for everyone else
to buy you flowers.
Flowers in your home
can help keep away anxiety
and negative moods.
I don't know if it's the smell
or just seeing flowers.
Yeah, right.
Smile.
So even if you're just pretending to smile,
that reaction can make you feel happy.
I don't know about that one when I'm having a tantrum.
When it's hard, especially as someone who has bitchy resting face.
Me or you?
Me and you, but you also have bitchy resting face.
No, I really do.
Yeah.
I've noticed that with the live stream we've been doing,
I'm like, ooh, need to work on my face.
Because you need to work on my face.
What, I just need a whole new one?
Is that what you're thinking?
Yeah, because sometimes I look like I'm real pissed
and I'm like, oh, no, I was quite happy in that moment.
Yeah, right, okay.
You don't know that about yourself until you're being filmed.
Turn on a light box.
Light therapy is a thing.
So if you are feeling
down, you can literally just turn on a
light box for 30 minutes
to an hour. Do you have to
buy a special, like one with a UV
light or something? I don't know.
So it's to help
treat seasonal affective disorder
which also sounds sad. Yeah.
But I think like we're pretty lucky in New Zealand
you still get like a lot of blue sky days,
whereas places like Europe and London,
you're just under this haze of greys, you know?
Yeah.
Short days is a whole kind of winter.
Yeah.
Smelling oranges, citrus scents.
Orange, lemon, grapefruit,
they bring out a positive chemical reaction in your brain
and can help ease stress.
So you don't even necessarily have to eat it,
just sniff it.
This is why I eat five mandarins every morning.
There's the mandarin skin.
And you make the studio smell like citrus.
Yeah.
So you're helping us all out.
I can deal with you.
And then there's fruit flies everywhere.
That's the downside, fruit flies.
And this is, I saved this one,
it was my favourite till last.
Eat carbs as an afternoon snack.
Ooh.
So the afternoon slump that hits you, turn it around and make yourself happy with some carbs.
So apparently everyone's trying to avoid carbs, but they have mood boosting chemicals in your brain.
But what kind of carbs?
Good carbs or bad carbs?
It does say you want to focus on healthy whole grain.
Not chocolate bars, chippies, cake.
Pasta.
Yeah, okay.
But I mean, they count as carbs.
So just hit it.
Yeah.
Fleshforn and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
Okay, so a woman, she went to a Subway to get a sandwich.
And she got a whole lot more than she bargained for.
I do feel...
Does she get 6.2 inches?
Because then when I go in
and I get the 5.8,
that'd be right.
She got the big half.
Why don't they use a ruler?
I don't know.
Because you shouldn't care that much.
There might be a size guide,
but I'm a size queen, so...
So she went into a subway
on the North Shore of Auckland
to get a sandwich.
Okay.
And I know that going into Level 2, this is something we have to do at our cafe.
You have to write down details for contact tracing.
So everyone who comes in, it's like a guest book.
They need to be able to get a hold of them just in case they fall sick.
You need to know everyone who was at the establishment.
So Subway was doing their due diligence and they had a contact tracing sheet.
So she obliged, wrote down her details.
Now, it was once she left the Subway that she got a Facebook request,
an Instagram request, a Facebook messenger message.
Calm down, mate.
And a text from the guy who served her.
Okay, that's going in hot.
Because she wrote down her details.
So he tracked her down and went, like, it wasn't just one option.
There was multiple attempts to contact her and she was not comfortable with it.
She said she felt pretty gross.
It made her feel really uncomfortable.
He's contacting me.
I didn't ask him to do that.
I don't want that.
She wrote down her address for, you know,
purposes of contact tracing.
Subway have responded and said that person has been,
has been, have they been let go or just told off?
Ooh,
I'm not sure.
I don't think you'd have a job after that.
I don't think so.
I don't think you'd have a job after that.
Yeah.
That is,
okay,
that is very creepy.
But Subway are also putting in
a new digital contacting tracing system.
Right.
So that'll be in place
at all their restaurants
so that people can't take
people's information.
Would you,
how would you have taken that if you were single?
And say there was just one message, not all those requests.
Like, I think they went in too hot.
I mean, I think they were very creepy.
I personally wouldn't have done that.
It depends if you're attracted to them, right?
Like, if you went in and they were a hottie, you'd be like, ayo.
Like, they did everything except send them a letter
like they Instagram
It might still be coming
There are five day deliveries
with the courier post at the moment
You're not wrong it might still be
It is very creepy but
at the same time would you be a little bit like
Still got it
Yeah
If he went in and there was a hottie and they messaged you,
you'd be like, yeah.
See, I wonder if we should have had a follow-up poll question
saying if they were really hot, would it still be okay?
Because we asked on our Instagram, we said,
would you be creeped out or flattered if somebody used contact tracing
to flirt with you?
Like this story, 9%
said flattered.
91% creeped out.
Okay.
A real small majority.
No, but like, it's not even
if they're hot, it's just if you're attracted to them.
And maybe not all of those
messages. Imagine this, you go into a cafe
and there's a Harry Styles-esque
looking person.
And then they message me.
Yeah.
Um, hello.
You're like, girl still got it.
Of course you'd be stoked.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
As long as you like Harry Styles.
Mm.
I don't think anyone around here is going to disagree with that.
So, um, we've actually had messages in as well.
Just looking through the FVM inbox after we asked that poll question on Instagram,
somebody said,
I once had a guy take my details and message me when I filled out the form
for a loyalty card.
Very creeped out.
Yeah, it is creepy.
Because that's not the intention.
What?
So say, for example,
so you're going to open your cafe this weekend,
both Fortinco.
Yes.
What happens if, say, for example, there's a hot customer
and they write down their name and number?
Like Mr. Toyboy's not going to,
I'm not saying Mr. Toyboy's going to text them back,
but what stops another customer seeing they've just written down their details?
Like I wonder if we should do that thing where, you know,
at school where you had the line refilling,
you just fold over a line
and then you write something and then,
or do you just individually write it on a piece of paper?
Or do it on an iPad and then save it.
Yeah, because we're going to be handing over a lot of our personal details
in the next forever.
And you're kind of just trusting.
And you're just trusting that you're leaving your name and your phone number.
I mean, you can trust us, but you maybe, I don't know who the customers are.
Mr. Toyboy is certainly not going to be.
If he knows what's good for him.
We're married.
Well, yeah.
And just remember, if you are going to text someone back from contact tracing,
you've got a 9% chance that they're going to think that's hot.
A 9% chance.
Not a very good chance.
Better than zero.
ZM's Fletch,-Megan, the podcast.
She helped us going into lockdown
and now she's going to help us coming out.
Clinical psychologist Sarah Chatwin joins us on the phone.
Good morning.
Good morning.
We've been in and now we're coming out.
Yay!
I think.
How have you found it?
Because if you're a clinical psychologist,
everyone would just assume you've been handling this great.
Perfect.
A plus.
Absolutely fabulous.
No problems at all.
And this is a terrific trio.
You just started yours by having a go at me.
Look, I have done pretty well.
I've enjoyed the creativity.
I've enjoyed having some quality time with the people around me,
my partner, my family.
I have enjoyed that I maintain contact with my workmates, my colleagues, Skype, Zoom.
I haven't enjoyed learning all about that because, gosh, I'm bad at it.
And, yeah, but it's been okay.
It's just a really weird kind of situation, isn't it?
I mean, never had it before, hopefully never having to have it again,
but it's just strange.
I've eaten a lot of biscuits, Sarah, a lot of biscuits.
I didn't give you that advice.
I'm pretty sure you did.
You said, do whatever makes you happy.
Okay, well, look, as psychologists, we take it on,
we carry that burden, so I'll take that burden. In fact, audience, I, as psychologists, we take it on that we carry that burden. So I go, I'll take that burden.
In fact, audience, I'm going in.
Okay.
So coming out of lockdown, I mean, it's exciting that we get to do more things,
but a lot of people could be anxious, right?
So there's been anxiety, you know, across the board all the way through.
You have the lockdown was kind of jumped on us very quickly
and we had to make all those arrangements
you know pressure, under pressure
it was the anxiety was around that
and then the anxiety of not knowing
and again I think people will be feeling that
anxiety of okay
so are we going back to
pre-COVID lives, how is this going to look
and of course as we know and as we've been
told by our Prime Minister,
aside from being very kind, we can't do exactly what we were doing before COVID
because we have to be aware of social distancing.
And in and around that, you know, people have their own rules.
People have their own take on personal space.
So it's a tricky little situation to negotiate.
And it takes two weeks to create a
habit. So we're well into
new habits and our new
daily routines. How do we
transition to, again, another
routine? I love
the fact that we're all now sounding like
psychologists.
It's Marty Pants,
aren't you?
We actually found an online course and we've all got diplomas now.
Don't you dare.
I have to go through a horrendous master's first class on us to get where I am today.
No, I know.
I mean, the patterns and routines thing is key, actually.
I remember spouting on about this at the beginning.
I think many of us have.
You know, as human beings, we love patterns and routines.
It's something that makes us feel secure.
It's something that gives us direction.
It allows us to look forward to something in a day, in a week, in a month.
So I think a lot of people were very wise and clicked into patterns and routines
very quickly within the lockdown and the Level 3.
So I think continuing that is probably the best way to go.
And I think some of the research in the UK and America
are saying the same thing.
You know, we're taking a graduated, you know, process to get out of this.
Nothing's going to be happening too quickly.
But keeping in those patterns and routines,
setting ourselves up within that kind of a framework
can be really helpful.
I'm just, I'm so looking forward to seeing people again,
seeing families.
But not too close.
But not too close.
And only 10 at a time.
Exactly.
Well, that's not a bad thing though,
because we just don't want to be going back
to a whole stack of new cases when we have done so well.
So I think New Zealanders have to keep at the forefront.
But, you know, we have done an incredibly good job to have some days where we have no cases to be able to chase things.
We've done an amazing job.
Let's not blow it.
Let's be very aware of other people's belief systems and what other people want.
Because, I mean, I might want to hug somebody, but they might not want to hug me back.
And now is not the time for hugs.
We still have to be doing the elbow pumps and just keeping that distance
and, you know, enjoying still a bit of that downtime and a bit of self-time
and not too much party time, I'm afraid.
So true. Good advice.
Yeah, fantastic. Thank you.
Sarah Chatwin, if you want to go to get more tips and tricks from her,
mindworks.co.nz.
Thank you so much, Sarah.
See you guys and keep safe.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
Just before we hung up with clinical psychologist Sarah Chatwin
and you said next on the show.
Gossiping is good for you.
I'm going to tell you gossiping is good for you.
She said to executive intern Anya, I believe.
Yeah.
I said, thank you so much, Sarah.
She said, gossiping is not good for you.
We love a goss around here, don't we?
And actually, Smithy, Vaughan Smith, our resident gossip queen,
Scandal Queenie, he's away sick today.
He loves a goss.
Everyone always says, oh, he's such a nice guy. He's been messaging me He loves a goss He Everyone always says
Oh he's such a nice guy
He's been messaging me
Asking me about blah blah blah
I'm like yeah
He's just
He literally wants the goss
Yeah he's mining
He's a goss miner
He's mining
And he always starts
How are you going?
Yeah
Yeah
But apparently gossiping
Well I mean
As long as you don't listen
To Sarachat when
Yeah
As long as you don't listen
To the experts
Yeah
This article says Gossiping is good for us.
And especially during lockdown,
it says that it can bring us closer to one another.
And that's what we need during social distancing.
So intentional gossip practice,
even over video chat is fun.
It can bring you closer.
And it increases our bonds, increases cooperation, encourages good behavior.
I don't know how that works.
And self-reflection.
They also have spelt out the rules of gossip.
So it needs to be information about another person.
Okay.
Not, you know, like factual stuff.
Not about the weather.
The person can't be there
while you're talking about them.
They must be an absent third party
and gossip is usually
making moral judgments
about the person.
Something that they did
that's either good or bad.
Yeah, we're very good at that.
And above all else,
a professor of psychology
at the college,
Knox College in Illinois.
I felt like after what Sarah said, I had to give him credentials.
He said, not only that, it's entertaining.
He's not wrong.
I feel like we've been in a bit of a goss lull.
Like, you know, people haven't been going out and getting drunk
and hooking up with people they shouldn't have been.
Yeah.
And we haven't just been casually chatting around the office.
Like, we don't know what everyone's been up to.
Yeah.
We're going to get inundated with good goss.
Oh, my God.
There'll be an avalanche of goss level two.
Oh, bring it on.
Bring it on.
I need to know that someone else has done something stupid to make myself feel better.
Exactly.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
I was just thinking I feel sorry for these people that are going to be inundated with people that haven't been tended to for a while.
Yeah, like hairdressers and waxes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So life under level two.
When we wake up on Thursday, it will be level two and you will be able to do a whole lot more things.
Retail stores, malls, cafes, restaurants, cinemas and public spaces.
Spaces. retail stores, malls, cafes, restaurants, cinemas and public spaces public spaces including playgrounds and gyms can open on Thursday.
The following Monday the 18th of May school, children and young people will return to school
and Thursday May 21 bars will be able to open.
That sounds like everything.
What is this that we can't really do?
Like, I know that it'll be different.
Yeah.
But we can do all those things in some capacity.
Just got to have social distancing
and there will be social gatherings kept to 10.
So if this weekend you're going to have friends over, 10.
What if you've got 11 friends?
What if you even had nine friends?
How cool would that be, having that many friends?
Oh.
10 friends.
You've got us here, but we've seen each other the whole time.
I know.
I don't want to see you at the weekend.
I see enough of you during the week.
So, I mean, you might have to make the cut at 10 for a party.
Or maybe rotate people out. Like, for example, I'm great for a party. Or maybe rotate people out.
Like, for example, I'm great at a party early.
Rotate me out.
No, I don't think that.
Are you allowed to do that?
I don't know.
We'll have to ask Jacinda.
Right, we need to write it down.
Am I allowed to be rotated out?
Are you allowed to do a rotating system?
Well, no, that's no different than the supermarket.
One in, one out.
Right.
So you just have one in, one out at your party.
Nah, see, that doesn't work.
I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.
No.
I'm pretty sure you'd get told off for asking her that.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
But you will be able to go to the movies,
but there'll just be social distancing.
Okay.
But you can sit with someone who's been in your bubble, right?
Yeah, so you can sit next to your partner or your friends.
Well, that's all good.
That's what we all try and do
usually at the cinema
with the courtesy seat.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Like, do you ever,
when you book movie tickets,
like book one away
from other people?
No.
Because you're just like,
no one's going to go
to the movies by themselves.
This is going to be a buffer seat.
It's amazing that you do it,
but they do.
Do you book a buffer seat?
Yes.
No, I don't pay for the buffer seat.
No, but you just really don't want to.
I leave a spare one.
But then what if it's like full and two people turn up?
Well, I'm going to have that seat free because they're not going to be like,
oh, let's you sit there and I'll sit here.
You're a monster.
Yeah, I know.
I am a monster.
And you know what?
Most of the time it works.
It's on the movies for letting you do that because most ticketing places don't let you book her.
No, you don't have to.
It'll be done for you.
Exactly.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
Five signs it's time to dump your partner.
Maybe you've been in lockdown and you're like thinking about it.
Yeah.
But you're like, is this just because I'm a bit sick of them?
Have you heard of anyone?
Because, you know, when I know early on everyone was like China because they went through
this a lot earlier than the rest of us.
Divorce rates were
very high. I don't know
anyone who's like, I don't know anyone that's broken up.
Nah, neither.
No. Yet.
So
five signs. The first one is
you think about
making love with other people.
Now, this is quite a good list because it points out the goods and the bads for this.
Okay.
So you should stay together if this is actually just a healthy, normal fantasy.
Right.
And then the end game is still with your partner.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
So it's not that you can't ever think about that.
Yeah.
But am I doing good at dancing around?
Yeah, kind of.
Yeah.
But if obviously your fantasies end up with something more physical or you're doing it
all the time and then you're not actually enjoying it with your actual partner, then
you should break up.
That's a sign.
Yeah, yeah.
You're actually just not into them anymore.
Yeah.
You feel like they're being way too clingy.
Another reason you should break up,
you should break up if they are stopping you
from doing things in your life,
if they're that clingy
and they are putting barriers in your way,
but you should stay together
if you're just having a super stressful week
and they're texting you all the time
and it's causing you anxiety.
Yeah.
Different.
You should probably just stay together
and write out that week.
Mm-hmm.
You feel like you're on totally different pages.
Like, it's very usual to grow apart from your partner.
Yeah.
But they say that you should also have a frank conversation
because maybe you're both feeling the same way.
Yeah, but then they're going to have to move out
and the rent will double.
Admin.
So what, just suck it up?
Just be miserable and stay together.
You constantly feel snippy around them.
If your partner triggers anger in you, then it's time to break up.
But if there's something deeper and unrelated to your partner, then you should work on that
and stay together.
Right.
And lastly, if you really want to do the fun times, there's never a time that you want
to with that person, but you still have the need.
The urge, but not with them.
But not with them.
Then you should break up.
I think if you don't want to sleep with your partner, you should break up.
But there's a lot of times when someone might be like
going through something and it's just not them.
It's just they don't want to do it, period.
Yeah.
Then you need to work on that and stay together.
Right.
If the look of them repulses you, then...
That's a good sign, yeah.
I don't think you should be together anymore.
Yeah.
Yes.
So if you have one of these reasons,
especially after lockdown,
you can give us a call right now
because we want to know what the deal breaker was.
Yeah, I want to know the final straw.
That broke the camel's back.
Maybe it happened in lockdown.
Maybe it was before
and you've been forced to cohabitate with them.
Maybe it's just that last annoying thing they did that really just always annoyed you.
Yeah.
What is the straw that broke the camel's back?
Did you have a final straw with your first husband?
It's different when everyone knows me.
Oh, is that okay?
I can't do it anonymously.
Oh, right.
Yeah, true.
I mean, maybe.
A few straws or ones?
Was there one straw?
I think there was a couple of straws.
I mean, no, no, no, no, no.
That's okay.
Well, I don't need to air this.
I did actually talk about one moment on the radio a long time ago that was like-
Recycle that one.
Unpleasant.
No, but it feels weird now because we're not together.
It felt okay when we were together.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you remember?
Was it the dinner?
No.
Oh, okay.
That was awkward.
That was a straw as well.
This is so awkward.
Yeah.
No, that's Yeah. Anyway.
Hey, you're on to your second one and that's going well,
the second marriage.
I'll text in anonymously
and you can decide
which text is mine.
We want to know the straw
that broke the camel's back,
the last thing,
the thing that made you think,
okay, this relationship is over.
I'm done with this.
Someone texted in and said
we were having a shower together,
something that should be kind of sexy,
and they started arguing about dinner.
And that was the end.
I decided this is not...
But isn't that just every long-term relationship,
arguing about dinner?
It's a good point, though.
If you can't argue about dinner, it's not going to happen, is it?
Yeah, there's actually a lot of arguments about dinner.
There was one that ended after they argued about
who should be cooking dinner.
Oh, yeah.
After working along... Just get takeaways.
Yeah!
If you're sitting there arguing about it the whole time
You always spend money on takeaways.
You always say let's get takeaways.
You never ask me what takeaways I want.
Why don't you cook me mints for a change?
Mints tacos.
We would have broken up a long time ago.
Oh, we wouldn't have even got off the first date
when you ordered some weird coffee and some...
And then you didn't, yeah.
Yeah.
Let's not even imagine we were dating.
Yuck, that's gross.
We've had a few messages in.
When he asked me to marry him,
that's when I knew it was.
And you instinctively want to say no.
I was hanging out with my best friend
for the first time in years,
and I got in trouble for not replying.
Really?
Yeah, I can't scoff too much.
I'm pretty sure that's been me once or twice.
I was given a pool noodle for Christmas.
That was the final straw for me.
Was that funny?
That's quite a funny gift.
Did they have a pool?
Well, you could take it to a pool.
I mean, it's still, how much is a pool noodle?
$5?
$2?
Oh, if that, yeah.
Yeah, okay, that's a rubbish gift.
Also, it sounds stolen.
So you've probably done the right thing there.
Gemma, what was the straw that broke the camel's back
in your last relationship?
The way he did our washing.
Oh, I can relate to this.
So what did he do?
What annoyed you?
He honestly, it was like
he stood across the room and threw
the washing at the clothesline.
It was honestly terrible.
What a monster.
The socks would still be scrunched
in a ball and he would try and hang them.
No, no, no.
So one day I just got home from work one day and I saw it
and I just picked the whole thing up and chucked it outside.
I thought, you know, it looks better out there like that
than what it did when you hung it.
Was he trying to get you to, like, not ever get him to do it again?
No, like, I worked all day and I would home, and, like, nothing would be done.
So it was probably my own fault for trying to make him do stuff.
But, um, I don't know.
I just, I think it was because he came from living with his mum,
and then to living with me.
Yeah.
And, like, she'd done everything, so.
You're not his mother.
No.
That sounds like he needs.
I would even tell him not to do it. Like, I would
rather do it my way.
But he still did it anyway.
He was trying to help. I did real good.
I put the washing out. Mum,
I mean, Gemma.
It was honestly horrible
and I just had a mouth. But what got me was like
one day I thought, oh, you know,
I'm sick of doing this. And I packed
all my stuff up and left.
And he just watched me.
Like, he just watched me leave.
He wouldn't even say anything.
Oh, my God.
Weird.
And then, like, when you left, like, did he message after you left?
Like, when you were coming home, I need dinner.
A couple of days later.
He messaged you a couple of days later.
Oh.
But what did he message you a couple of days later?
Like, I need some washing done.
No, he's like, where are you?
And I thought, you just watched me pick, like, the whole house up,
and you're asking me where I am.
Wow.
Okay, wow.
I know.
And we had been together for, like, four years as well,
so it was a bit weird.
Oh, my gosh.
Gemma, you put up with that for four years?
Yeah, it was horrible.
But I'm out now, so it's all good.
Wow.
Gemma, thanks for your call.
Steph, what was the last straw?
I think this was probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
We were at Farmers, and it was his birthday.
Yep.
And he just randomly turned around and started crying because I had not written happy birthday on his birthday. Yeah. And he just randomly turned around and started crying
because I had not written happy birthday on his Facebook.
But we'd like spent the whole day together.
And I had like, I had like bought him a gift.
And I think, I don't know, I just didn't want to laugh in his face.
But I was like, I think this is it.
Yeah. wow.
It meant that much to him, even though...
Isn't that crazy?
Like, you're in...
Like, we've actually had this argument, eh?
Because I see you at work and Megan's like,
well, you didn't write on my Facebook.
It's like, I literally spent hours with you today.
Yeah, I just sit here being like, wow, that's crazy.
But yeah, I have had that constant.
Yeah, you have.
Did you break up on the birthday or did you wait until the next day?
Okay, well, it's pretty bad.
I probably waited a couple months.
Okay, yeah.
And then I was like, yeah.
But I think that was it when I really thought, wow, this is not great.
This is not for me.
Are you still friends with him now?
Do you still write on his Facebook for his birthday?
No, no.
We don't really talk anymore, but I moved away.
But now he's an influencer, so I think I lucked out.
Oh, you lucked out.
You could have been getting all that free Bondi Sands.
I could.
And some HelloFresh boxes.
Damn it. Okay, Steph. I could. And some HelloFresh boxes. Damn it.
Okay, Steph.
I'm gutted.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
Bluff or Stuff.
All right, it's the return of Bluff or Stuff.
We have a prize up for grabs.
A Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 camera.
So this is the one where you get the photos come out already printed.
Like a, what were those old things called?
Polaroids.
Yeah, like that.
Like little mini Polaroids.
Yeah.
They're cool.
They're cool.
I mean, we just bought this because it was a cool price.
Fleet just really doesn't want to give too many plugs away because we paid money for it.
Yeah, we paid for this.
We're giving them a plug, but then we also want a cool prize, don't we?
Now, Vaughn's away today,
running a 38 point something temperature.
So, well, could be the last we see of Vaughn.
So we've asked executive intern Anya in
to sit in Vaughn's hot seat
and you will play Bluff or Stuff.
Yeah, I'm nervous.
How good are you at lying?
I don't really know how good.
I don't know.
I feel like she's good at telling a yarn.
I feel like I can tell if you're telling a yarn.
I don't really feel like you do tell yarns.
Well, that means I'm very good.
So one of us is holding this prize
and you just need to decipher who it is.
All right, and playing this morning, Nicole.
How are you, Nicole?
Hi, I'm good, thank you. Good. Are you excited
for level two? Yeah,
definitely. Okay, have you been
naughty in level three or four
or have you been good? No,
I've been very, very good. Good, same.
No one's going to tell you if they've been naughty. No, I think
I feel like Nicole would have said.
Nah, I'm taking it pretty seriously. Yeah, good.
Good. I can tell, Nicole. Alright, now, I'm taking it pretty seriously. Yeah, good. Good.
I can tell, Nicole.
All right, now, Nicole, one of us is holding the prize.
Now, we're all going to tell you we're holding it,
but you've got to tell us who is actually holding it.
Now, I can tell you that I'm actually holding it because on the side of the box...
Don't laugh.
Now, I can tell you that I am actually holding it. You know what, Nicole? They were laughing yesterday and I was holding the box. Don't laugh. Now I can tell you that I am
actually holding it. You know what Nicole, they were
laughing yesterday and I was holding the box.
Wasn't I? Like I'm holding the box today.
You don't think I wouldn't hold it two days in a row?
I would because I can tell you it says
on the side, this package contains
two AA batteries, a hand
strap, yada yada yada.
The list goes on.
A yada yada yada.
Do you know what he's saying?
Yada, yada, yada.
Because it's only in time to write down.
And Nicole, could I make this sound?
I've just dropped the box in front of me.
I'm sorry for dropping your prize, but I've just dropped the box.
I'm holding it.
I'm just picking it up.
I'm holding it.
Drop it again.
Okay.
No, I don't think you are.
Well,
she's eliminated you before she's even spoken
to me and Anya. Don't eliminate me
yet, Nicole. It's early days. I was
eliminated yesterday. Shall I tell you,
because I'm holding the box, shall I tell you
what else this package contains? Because he
couldn't get through the whole list. He said an AA battery,
instruction manual, a sticker, a close-up lens attachment, and
a hand strap.
And, of course, the camera.
Well, you can read that off the website, of course.
I'm holding it.
I'm telling you.
I don't want to drop it because I don't want to break the...
You don't want to drop it because you can't drop it.
Because I don't want to break it.
You won't break it because it's in its packaging. You can't drop it because you don't hit the box. I't drop it. Because I don't want to break it. You won't break it because it's in its packaging.
You can't drop it because you don't have the box.
I'm holding it.
I'm holding it.
Executive intern Anya.
I have the box because one thing that my two colleagues here haven't mentioned
is that it's a Fujifilm brand.
Now, you might be wondering how you spell Fujifilm.
Well, I can tell you.
It's F-U-J-I-F-I-L-M.
Now, would I
know these details? I like how you were
squinting at the box that I'm holding.
No, sir. Because you were like, how do
you spell Fujifilm? You're sitting
beside her. She was squinting because I'm
holding the box and I'm furtherest away.
But could she make this sound?
No, she couldn't.
I'm holding the box.
Nicole, do you... Oh, it's hard.
You have to eliminate one of us.
Who do you think is definitely not holding it?
Do we just lose, Nicole?
I think you're holding it.
Okay, Nicole, just for the purpose of radio drama,
can you eliminate one of us, please?
You have to go. I'm not backing the guys today, so... Yeah, that's you. Just for the purpose of radio drama, can you eliminate one of us, please?
You have to go.
I'm not backing the guys today, so.
Yeah, that's you.
You're out, Fletch.
Okay, so it's executive intern Anya or Megan holding the prize.
Who is holding the prize, Nicole?
Megan.
That is correct.
Yay!
Nicole, you've got an Instax Mini 9 in flamingo pink,
I can tell you, because I'm holding the box.
Oh, my gosh, I was really nervous.
I've damaged this tissue box by dropping it so much.
What did you put in the tissue box to make it sound heavy?
Oh, it's just tissues.
I just had to ram it down.
It sounded a little bit too light.
Yeah, you're right. I was panicking.
I was working on this gag, and it wasn't heavy enough.
You're so right, Nicole.
And I was looking after your prize by not dropping it on the desk.
I did contemplate actually dropping that.
Nicole, congratulations.
You've won the Instax Mini 9.
Get that out to you.
There may be a couple of delays on the courier because they're snowed under at the moment,
but I'm certainly not having a go at them.
They're doing a fine job. I'm just warning you so that you can anticipate your prize arriving
within the next week to two to three.
Oh, yay.
Thank you so much.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Look, I don't want you to think that I don't know there's real problems out there
with what I'm about to tell you.
But everything's relative, you know? And, like, yeah, there's a lot of there was what I'm about to tell you but everything's relative you
know yeah like there's yeah there's a lot of stuff going on in the world but we've also been in
lockdown you're not naive to that no but right before lockdown I went and got my nails done
okay because I was like I I'm gonna be smart about this right before and then on the other
side I'll be ready to get them done again. Yeah. Little did I know
it was going to be like seven weeks.
Yeah.
My nails have survived
seven weeks.
Because I keep putting nail polish
over top of them.
Yeah.
So they're coloured.
They're coloured.
I get lots of people saying
where did you get your nails done?
You're not supposed to be
getting your nails done.
I'm just putting nail polish
over top.
God, people are ready
to pounce on you
for a level four breach. But I've got
like, these are my nails, but I've
got what they call dipping powder
fletch over top.
Okay, explain. So you
dip your fingers in a coloured
powder instead of like a
gel polish. But why don't your fingers get
coloured? It's just a
powder, it doesn't stick to your fingers.
Oh, okay, right.
So that's lasted seven weeks.
And I see level two in sight now.
And I'm like, I'm going to get my nails done.
And you would never even know.
Yeah.
Except yesterday I shut my finger in the door when I went to get into my house.
And I have completely ripped off a whole nail. I lasted seven weeks with these bad boys on flimsy ass,
hanging off my nails, watching the finish line approach.
With people accusing you of having your nails done.
Yeah, accusing me of being one of those people that's sly,
going around to your nail technician and getting your nails done.
That wasn't me.
It's nail polish.
Yeah.
And then I shut my finger in my...
So close.
So close.
Is that a good advertisement for...
Seven weeks.
Yeah.
Because how long do they normally last?
Like three max.
Is it because you've been doing less?
Like you've been locked up inside?
Is that also why?
Probably.
Yeah, right.
And not much housework and not much gymming and not much
of anything, really.
Didn't you get those done at the mall?
Yeah. Is that not cool to say?
I did.
That's good then.
Yeah, okay. I did
get them done at a mall.
Don't be ashamed of that. Why are you
all embarrassed by that? Oh, I don't know
because I feel like you're going to tease me.
Why would I go to the mall for heaps of things?
Yeah.
Well, I just, yeah, I went to the mall.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It lasted seven weeks.
It's a good advertisement.
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah.
This is the same place we went to and I said that you should come in and get a manicure with me
because I sat there with a guy one time and he was getting his, like, no colour.
He was just getting a polish done.
No, is that when I went? I got a massage at the next door place and you got, no colour, he was just getting a polished up. Is that when I went,
I got a massage
at the next door place
and you got your nails.
You went next door,
yeah.
But do you want to come with me?
No.
Level two.
You need a wee pampering.
Waste of money.
No.
Just get a wee shine
and they can like
fix your cuticles.
Lovely.
No.
We'll see.
We'll see.
I'll just book you in
and you can come in and we'll just...
I'd rather spend money on food or something.
Something else.
Than having lovely nails.
Why did you just look at my guts then?
No, I didn't.
That was really obvious.
I was looking at your nails.
Okay, well, my hand was down there by my stomach.
You are so...
Good save from you.
Good save.
I'm definitely checking out your cuticles, which do need work.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
Yeah.
You're going to be seeing people again though.
In public.
People don't look at me and think, oh, that guy's cuticles.
Ew.
There's a lot more going on.
Yeah, that's true.
Way worse.
Yeah.
See, good advertisement.
Of a place that I haven't told you the name of.
Of the mall.
Yeah.
In the mall.
Going and getting nails done in the mall.
It lasts seven weeks.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
Vaughan's away sick today, but...
Megan.
Yeah.
I'm just wondering about the Fact of the Day intro.
It's going to sound a little bit less high.
Okay. Yeah. But we've done this sound a little bit less high. Okay.
Yeah.
But we've done this before.
We're battlers.
Yeah.
We'll do this.
It's just confronting because everyone can hear us quite clearly.
And, I mean, I'm great, but I just worry for you.
Let's rip the band-aid off.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, Tay.
We don't need him.
That's all right.
That was all right.
Today's fact of the day is about a snail that lives in a volcano.
Okay, do go on. The scaly foot snail lives in remarkably hot temperatures
And do you know how it has managed to survive living in a volcano?
Something underneath its slithery bit
What is that bit? The body?
Something under
Underneath its slithery foot
Does it just
So in
Wheels on its shell?
So in not only searingly hot temperatures,
high pressure, strong acidity and low oxygen,
it's one of the only living creatures that can be in that area.
How?
It incorporates iron into its shell.
It has an iron shell.
And then it also has like a scaly
foot which looks
as though it's got iron in it as well.
So this is a little iron
snail. On the inside it is just a little
pink sludgy. That looks like some
kind of Game of Thrones armour. It does.
It looks like... Not the Iron Throne
The Iron Shell. It looks like the Iron Throne, yeah.
It looks like the Iron Throne made into an Iron
Shell. Wow. It's a little Iron Throne made into an iron shell. Wow.
It's a little creepy pink snail on the inside with little filler bits.
But with the help of its iron shell,
it's able to withstand the high pressure, the acidity, the low oxygen.
But then if it lives in the volcano,
what's it eating and what's it surviving on?
If nothing else can live in the volcano.
You're asking me lots of questions now.
That you don't know the answer to.
I guess
we'll never know. If I was going to be a snail
I'd be this one because it looks badass and
when I'm saying an iron shell
it is silvery. It looks
like it is made of
armour. Yeah, probably watch
a documentary on that. A five minute documentary.
I'm not going to invest in
a whole hour but it looks badass.
You're right.
Badass snail.
Better than, you know, our snails.
Plain brown shell.
You know those giant snails we have?
Imagine one of those with an iron shell.
Badass.
Chasing you around.
Worth a Google.
Yeah.
What do you Google it?
What's it called again?
The volcano-dwelling scaly-foot snail.
Yeah, Google that.
It's badass.
Yeah, with the iron shell.
That is today's...
Facts of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Chris Hemsworth has shared a Mother's Day tribute to his mum and his wife,
who is also the mother of his children.
He said, happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mums out there.
We salute you.
Uploaded a picture of him with his mum and his wife all together.
Mum at the Westfields Byron Bay that he's built. That giant mega mall. a picture of him with his mum and his wife all together.
Was mum at the Westfields Byron Bay that he's built?
That giant mega mall?
It looks, if that's not where they are,
they own another really nice place.
Well, that's probably likely. It's got an infinity pool looking out to the ocean.
I think that sounds like the Westfield Mansion.
Yeah, right.
Because that had an infinity pool.
Yeah.
Infinity.
Now, it's a picture of him with his mum and his wife
in the same picture.
And everyone has commented along the lines of this. Your mum and your wife look the same age,
and this is not a dig at your babe wife. Your mum looks so young. Someone else said your mum
looks more like your sister. Great genes. You have very good looking parents.
It shouldn't be any surprise when they have all very
attractive kids. Yeah.
One of the first things I
wanted to do
when I got any money
Oh, this, no, do you know he actually
paid for his parents' house?
Really? Good on him.
So he's bought himself, because you can't really get
away with like having a Westfield
Yeah. And then your parents living in like the burbs.
Yeah.
They're always going to be at you.
So you buy them off with the house.
So, yeah, he's been a really good son.
But yeah.
But I remember when his photos and videos of his dad came out.
His dad's a babe too.
Everyone was just like, what is going on with this family?
We shouldn't be surprised.
They're all the genes there.
Although there's,
what's that other Colin Hemsworth?
He's not,
is there another one
that we don't talk about?
Luke.
There's Luke.
He's in Westfields,
Westworld.
Westworld.
He's in the TV show Westworld.
Yeah.
No, he's attractive too.
Yeah, I know.
The whole family's just good genes.
Luke, Chris and Liam
and then the two parents. I think, is her name Leonie? Leonie and Craig, I know. The whole family's just good genes. Luke, Chris and Liam and then the two parents.
I think, is her name Leonie?
Leonie and Craig, I think is the parents' names.
She's 60.
She honestly looks like she could be 40.
I know.
It's nuts, eh?
And it does look like they could be siblings.
We want to ask now, and maybe you're in this situation,
do you have parents that get a lot of attention?
Because they don't look, you know, that old.
Or maybe they're very youthful parents.
And so your friends are just like, hello.
Like, you'd get so sick of it.
But you'd know it.
I just, like, I'd be happy for them.
But, like, I think I'd be a little bit pissed
if everyone was like, oh, your mum's so hot.
I'd be like...
Well, especially if, you know, like, you're at school and your mum's real hot and everyone's like, your mum's so hot. I'd be like... Well, especially if, you know, like you're at school and your mum's real hot and everyone's
like, your mum's so hot.
Is she your sister? No, she's my mum.
Yeah. But that's the thing. Sometimes you see like mother and daughter and, you know,
you just like, is that your older sister? No, I'm the mum. Could you imagine that?
That would be wonderful if you're the mum.
So let's take some calls. Have you ever been in this situation? 0800 DALES.AM
9696
to text in.
Do your parents get a lot of attention
from your friends?
Are they youthful kind of parents?
And how does it make you feel?
Yeah.
Are you happy for them
or do you hate it?
Because do you ever get any stories
like going down the Jeremy Kyle like
100
road where like maybe
someone's hooked up with someone's parents?
Your boyfriend left you for your mum? Oh. That really stinks. Kyle like 100 road where like maybe someone's hooked up with someone's parents your boyfriend
left you for your
mum
oh
that really
stinks
because your mum
does she gives
Mr Toyboy a couple
of pats on the bum
and we know he
likes older women
I know
she is sick of
dad and lockdown
oh my god
can you just
imagine
I mean
I don't want to.
When could we laugh about that?
Because there'd obviously be a period of this happen
where we'd have to console you and be really sad and stuff.
But then we'd find it funny eventually, wouldn't we?
I mean, it's hard to say because I can't just, like,
my mum's kind of my mum forever.
Yeah, true.
So, yeah.
I want to know if your parents are the youthful type of parents
that are always getting the attention.
Like Chris Hemsworth's mum after his Mother's Day post,
people just can't believe she looks 60.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we want to know when your parents got the attention.
Someone texted in and said,
My mum got pulled over because they thought she was a student
driving me to school.
She loved it.
Oh, my God.
You were dying out on that forever.
Yeah.
I'm 16, but both of my parents look so young.
I get asked if they're my siblings.
They're 16.
What's the secret?
We need to start like,
we need to get like common diets, exercise regimes.
Yeah, beauty regimes.
What's happening here?
If we buy alcohol,
then I usually get asked for ID and they don't.
I'm a 32 year old male. My mum is 55 and I'm always asked for ID, and they don't. Wow. I'm a 32-year-old male.
My mum is 55, and I'm always confused for her partner.
Also, her last boyfriend started off as my friend from work,
who was then confused for her son.
Oh, wow.
So mum just looks really young.
Natalia, will your parents get confused?
My daughter and I get confused as sisters.
Oh, wow, okay.
Well, that's good though, right?
Good for you.
Not for her, she hates it.
But you love it.
I get confused because there's a huge age difference.
Right.
So you weren't a young mum or anything?
No.
She's 19 and I'm 48.
Wow, well you must be rocking it.
Good on you.
Good on you.
What's the secret?
I don't know. must be rocking it. Good on you. Good on you. What's the secret? I don't know.
Not worrying about it.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, nice.
Natalia, thanks for your call.
Hannah, do your parents get a lot of attention from people?
My dad does, especially from gay men.
What is it?
Really?
Describe your dad.
My dad is in his late 60s.
He looks a lot younger, still got a full head of hair, you know, the thing.
And he does a physical job, so he's, you know, in good shape and stuff.
And I think it's because he just looks really manly.
He's quite a...
Is he hairy?
Does he have a beard?
Does he look like a bear daddy?
No, no, no facial hair or anything, but there's no way you would describe him as anything other than really masculine,
and apparently it just really appeals.
He is hilariously oblivious to it.
Yes.
If you're out with him and you see it, it's extremely funny.
Later he'll be like, oh, do you think
that guy was gay?
Yeah.
Yeah, Dad, he was.
What about when you were at school?
Did he get a lot of attention
from your friends?
Yeah, who's your hot boyfriend?
That's my dad.
Stuff like that.
Wow, Dad,
does anybody else want to see
a photo of Dad?
Yeah, I'm keen.
Is that inappropriate?
Nods from the producer's booth.
It does sound it, yeah.
