The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hi, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe. Barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2. What were we talking about? The Korean? Well, whatever. What would you like to talk about?

Yeah, talk about the Korean thing. I just read a tweet that said, ever since Squid Game came out, online language learning services have been slammed by people wanting to learn Korean. Now, is that because they don't know that there are some titles

and dubs available? No, it's probably because everyone says that it's more poetic in Korean. Apparently so. Duolingo said it has reported a 76% rise in new users signing up to learn Korean in Britain and 40% in the United States over the two weeks. Now, that sounds something if the United States want to learn a foreign language. But it doesn't say how quickly they drop off when they realize how difficult it is to learn a language.

How hard it is to learn a language. Yeah. Yeah. Can you get like it is to learn a language. Yeah. Yeah. Can you get like hypnotized to learn a language like easier? Do you reckon? I don't know. There was those language tapes that you would listen to as you went to sleep. They were like the buzz and like the nineties.

You'd buy the set of tapes and you're just, but then I don't know. You'd wake up and you'd be like, buenos dias. Buenos dias, Buenos dias Muchas gracias And then that was all you'd picked up Right okay Just sleeping with it for all these times And then it just goes on to tell me a whole lot more about About Duolingo

And how many languages they've got I think they recently was at Duolingo Because they get advertised heaps in podcasts Yeah They just added Maori. Oh, did they? The first step of learning Te Reo. Oh, that's cool.

On Duolingo, I think, which was quite a massive step. It's got heaps of languages on there. Yeah. I heard it advertised once and I looked it up and I'm like, neat. That was all I did. You didn't, yeah. That was all I did. Yeah, I didn't do any more.

I'm too dumb. My left brain and my right brain don't talk to each other enough. And I've got to eat. Yeah. No, I'm just saying we should call this off because I've got to eat. I'm done now. You're done. I'm done now.

My brain's done. I want to eat. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleeche, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Tuesday. Yep. No tacos yet, so I can't be that happy.

Yeah, right. Later then. And I was going to make a reference to go into the movies cheap. I realise that's an option for some people, but not everybody. Not you. No. Tuesday needs a new thing. Let's call it Drink Lots of Water Tuesday. It's the day of the week where we're really focusing on hydration. Okay, right.

Every other day, not so much? Well, no. Yes, it's important to, but today's the day. Especially. Really hydrate. Sunny Bill Williams joins us on the show today. 725. Yeah.

A book is the reason. His book. You can't stop the sun from shining. Yeah. Alan Duff, who wrote Once Were Warriors, has written this with Sonny Bill about his life. Yeah, right. There's colour pictures in it. We've got a cardboard cutout.

Always fancy when it's got colour pictures. Yeah. And a hardcover. We've got a Sonnyill cutout in studio. It's life-size too. Yeah. But the photo on the cover of the book that he's holding in this cutout was obviously taken the same day as the photo for the cutout.

A little bit of inception. There's a couple of levels to this. Yeah, there is. Are you judging that on the black T-shirt? Just everything about that feels the same. The beard looks exactly the same. The black t-shirt's got exactly the same fit. He was holding like a blue square or a white nothingness

and they photoshopped that on. That's what I accuse. Who's the publisher? What's the H? Hatchet. That is what I accuse Hatchet of. Here now. It's in Photoshop.

Six minutes past six. On this. Tuesday, the 12th of October. 2021. You are accused. Well, he's on with us. 7.25 this morning. We've got some signed rugby balls as well.

Some Sonny Bill Williams signed rugby balls. Or are they league balls? Because you can do both. Well, I mean, you can sure. Are they different? Yeah, I think so. I think rugby's slightly rounder. They've got rugby.

Written on them. Sponsorship on them. So yeah, I'd say they're rugby. So yeah, your chance to win those and hear him at 7.25. Your chance to win cash again this morning. It's back. ZM's $50,000 secret sound. Well, thanks to Neon, the current jackpot is $10,000.

And this is the sound. So listen now for that activator coming up just before 7. The difference is, yeah, more pointed at the edges on a rugby league ball. They come to a more pointed end. Do they? I had no idea they were different. Rugby balls are made of a smoother synthetic finish. Well, that's fascinating, isn't it, to know?

There you go. You know now. Great news. 60% of people, 3 in 5, 6 in 10, or 60% believe in soulmates and believe they will have or have had their soulmate. Okay. There's a catch. And I'll tell you

what that catch is next. Do they exist? They do exist. Oh, good. They do exist. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. How many soulmates do you think you can have?

Isn't the point that you have like one? Yeah, that's what I thought, right? I'm just googling how many soulmates can you have. If soulmate teaches you stuff, there's five types of soulmate. Oh, God, no. I think I'm going too far down the crystal road on this one.

Friend soulmates maybe that you go through life with and then like your partner soulmate. So there's five types of soulmates. Okay. Apparently. According to this crystal website. The friend soulmate. Yeah.

This is thriveglobal.com. Oh, okay. I'm just trying to thrive, not survive. The friend soulmate. The teacher soulmate. The past life soulmate. Okay, so there's only four because that's bullshit. The lover soulmate and the twin flame soulmate.

What's a twin flame soulmate? Surely the twin flame soulmate is the epitome of the soulmate. Yeah. Because, like, you can have a lover that you connect with, but you need that twin flame thing, right? According to Greek mythologies, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their powers, they split them in two separate parts,

condemning them to spend their lives in search of the other halves. We've still got two faces, it's just you only see one. That's metaphorical. There's Instagram face and real face. So the reason I ask how many soulmates you think you can have

is that 60% of people apparently believe that their soulmate is a pet. One of their soulmates is a pet. I don't know which one it falls under from the five types of soulmates. Maybe you could just add one. You could learn a lot from a pet. True. So 60% of people would fight another person for their four-legged friend.

Okay. Their best friend. And they think that they would also for their four-legged friend. Okay. Their best friend. And they think that they would also risk their lives to save their pet from not even another person, but from a dangerous situation, like run back into the building if it was on fire to rescue their pet. And they think that they are also soulmates. Best friends elevated to soulmate. That's tough because you can go through like four soulmates.

Depending on how many you've got at a time. You just adopted another soulmate last week. You've got another soulmate. I don't mind them, but I'm not that. I'm one of the two out of the five. Like I like a pet, but I also realize that they're not around forever. It's because you grew up on a farm. Yeah.

Just used to this kind of heartbreak daily. Our first cat died. And that's the idea of pets, right? You get them when your kids are young, so then they die and it teaches them about loss and then their grandparents die and you're like, no, they remember me when that was bullshit. And they're like,

why are you putting Grant in the backyard under a lemon tree? Yeah. And you're like, this is just what we do. Is that illegal? Um, yeah, I think so. Is it? I think so. Yeah, no, you've got to properly, like, you can't just put a man in there. But is that just the expected thing, to put them in a cemetery?

Are you allowed to bury them under a lemon tree? I mean, you could scatter them in your backyard. Totally. Burial, I found a document, Burial on Private Land New Zealand your backyard. Totally. Burial. I found a document, Burial on Private Land, New Zealand Law Commission. Right. Because I know all those massive old farms, when people got huge bits of land, they had a family graveyard on them.

You see them everywhere when you're driving around. And I know there's heaps of old Maori cemeteries and stuff as well that aren't necessarily connected to an adjacent marae but it was on land that meant everything to their whanau so I would be very interested to know.

But I thought they had to go through like a proper embalming or something. I think you still have to do that. Yeah, you probably have to dig a deep hole.

You probably have to go a certain dev. I like how we started talking about are your pets your soulmates? How many types of soulmates? Now we're saying if we could be buried

under a citrus and would a citrus. And would a citrus be the best tree to plant on top? That's what you've got to think about. If you're acidic, maybe get a blueberry planted on top of you because they like an acidic soil. Was most of us pH 5.5? Maybe we're rocking in a neutral pH, so it would be perfect for a plum tree.

Stone fruit, maybe an apricot. But don't plant that. Anything that likes blood and bone? Yeah, exactly. And you've got to know everything loves blood and bone. God, I'm trying to find a quick answer, but it's quite full on. It's quite convoluted, is it? I think you've got to do it in a cemetery or something that's designated as a private burial.

Okay, so that someone can't be like extending the house and they need to drop a foundation and they dig in the foothold and they put a spade through your decomposing skull. We need a piece of paper in the studio so when we come up with these questions, we can write them down and next time we talk to Jacinda, we're like, okay, these are the questions we have. She's not going to know.

She might do. We've got bigger things to worry about. Can we bury Nan in the backyard under the citrus or does she have to be embalmed and all that shit? Write it down. Yeah, go. I mean, there's probably somebody listening now that knows, and we wouldn't need to bother the Prime Minister with this.

Yeah, well, I reckon just give me five more minutes of Googling. I'll probably have that. I'll probably have that answer. We'll probably do a light touch on it when we come back and talk next time, then before moving on into the next episode. Absolutely, just because people need to know, don't they? They do. Next.

18 past six. Parasocial relationships. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? This is when you bury Grant in the backyard. Don't go anywhere. Stay tuned. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.

So just a quick follow up to the question, can you bury Nan in the backyard? Under the citrus. Like a tabby under the citrus. No, not really. You've either got to go to a public cemetery, a burial ground, like a small church or whatever, a Maori burial ground, or you can do a private burial

if you're in the middle of nowhere and you're not within 32 kilometres of a cemetery. Oh, okay. So 32 kilometre radius, that would be a radius, obviously. Yeah, yeah. But do you still have to tell someone if you're going to do that? Absolutely, okay. So 32 kilometre radius, that would be a radius, obviously. Yeah, yeah. But do you still have to tell someone if you're going to do that? Absolutely, Megan. There has to be a cause of death.

So you can't just be like, quick. Because otherwise... They were old? Is that a cause of death? No, it's all got to be done properly. Oh, so you'd have to get the coroner out. Right. So, yeah, no is the answer to that, really.

Cool. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. Oh, that's good to know. Parasocial relationships. They are not new, but I've never heard them called that before.

And with TikTok and the pandemic, there is an increase in parasocial relationships. So these are one-sided relationships where people think they're in love with them

or they're best friends with like an influencer, a media person, someone famous who they see all the time. Is this just e-stalking? Like normally people would go and break into Kim Kardashian's house or go through drawers when she wasn't home. It's not even that intense. It's just if you're majorly fangirling over someone and you just think that you're friends, then that's a parasocial relationship. So most of the time, they're not a problem. It's when you go into the stalker phase

that that's a bit of a problem. But this is happening massively with TikTok. There is a TikTok star, Joe Bartolozzi, who has said, you guys should view me as an entertainment outlet, not a friend. The reason being, I don't know you guys. I don't know the vast majority of my followers

and I don't know your name, what you look like, where you're from. If you view me as a friend and you say something like, I love you so much, I'll never stop loving you, that's weird. That's good that they've said that. It's good that he's calling them out. It's true, but I didn't ever expect someone to just straight up say that. It could be like a breakup. Yeah, he's just broken some hearts.

But setting some boundaries. But you also, like, think about if you were obsessed with somebody in the 90s. Yeah. You bought the magazine when the interview was in there or you watched Tally when they were on there. Yeah. Yeah. That was it, right? Yeah.

No, but now on TikTok, you've literally got them in your hand. I guess you feel more. You're in their house. Totally. And they're just delivering endless content. Yeah, you've're in their house. Totally. And they're just delivering endless content. Yeah, you've seen inside their house. You know, they're friends. And it feels like they're talking to you.

Exactly. Because it's like on a video call. Yeah, yeah. So you can see how it's evolved. It's a lot more intimate. And yeah, apparently they're massive during the pandemic because you see them more than you see your actual friends. You need my mum to deal with it in the same way

she dealt with my brother's baby spice obsession. What did she say to him? I can't wait. Tell him to stop being bloody stupid. Yeah, she's never going to come over here, Philip. These are stupid. Stupid. Stop all this.

Oh, let Philip have his drink. Stupid. He was like a 17-year-old boy with baby spice? Come on. Stop it. Stop it. Shut up. From the illegal ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there.

Adult advent calendars. A fantastic idea. We all need it. And one company is doing naughty little toys. Oh. Adult. little toys. Oh. Adult fun toys. How many of those would they have to put in? There's 24.

I mean, this looks like a sizable calendar. It's got a spanking paddle. Let your eyes flare up like that. Blindfold. Oh, okay. Various balms. Okay. Balms and oils.

One of them's, one day you open up and it's got cards with ideas. Oh, okay. For things to try on cards. I don't know what that is. You probably put it up your bum. Yeah. Actually, I'd say that's almost what it is.

Just like looking at everything else, it doesn't look anything too butt-centric. So I'm imagining that's almost what it is. Okay, good, good. Just like looking at everything else, it doesn't look anything too butt-centric. So I'm imagining that's got to be that. Okay. It's got one of those head massages, though. Remember those? Oh, yeah. It doesn't work when you do it to yourself, but when someone else does it, you're like.

How does that fit behind the advent calendar door? I don't know. Are they just giant? It's a pretty big. It must fold in. Okay. I don't know. Are they just giant? It's a pretty big. Must fold in and. Okay. I don't know. I'm just seeing something down the bottom.

It's like a noose. How exciting. So I thought there's a lingerie one as well. This is like an international site of all these different things you can get. A little bit different to your standard advent calendars, primarily for children. So the top six adult advent calendar ideas. Number six, booze.

Yeah. These are already out there. You can pick your booze and find 24 different types of it in little bottles or cans. There was that one doing the really nice gin bottles, little miniature bottles of gin. You get a different one every day. Yep.

God, that's good stuff. There's ones for scotch. There's one for vodka. There's like a a different one every day. Yep. God, that's good stuff. And there's ones for scotch. There's one for vodka. There's like a wine one. There's... Good stuff. Yep. Whatever your booze of choices.

Number five on the list of the top six adult advent calendar ideas. Just notes and really nice handwriting telling you you're doing all right. Oh, that'd be lovely. Yeah, you just open it up. It's nice right now. It's like, hey, well done you.

December. Look at us. I'd be like, hey, well done, you. December. Look at us. I'd be like, I can't wait for tomorrow. That's the sort of like low-key encouragement I need. I don't want to be told it to my face because then I have to react and probably give the person back some sort of equal compliment. If it's a one-way quiet note that I can read by myself, I'll take it. Nice. Number four on the list of the top six adult

advent calendar ideas are vaccines. What, a different one every day? Yeah. Okay. Could you come up with 24? December 1st, mumps. December 2nd, measles. Hooping cough. Hooping cough. Rebella, polio, smallpox, chickenpox.

Rabies? Did you do a rabies? I'll do a rabies I'll do a yellow fever, I'll do a dengue fever I wonder how many World Health Organisation approved vaccine list, there must be a few on there, eh?

Oh, this is not a time for Oh, that's some hot content I can look at later on my own time. Hmm, vaccines. Number three on the list of the top six adult advent calendar ideas, the Maddie McLean Dance of the Day advent calendar. Oh, we're already doing that calendar. Open it up.

And, you know, he teaches you the dance. Oh, yes. It's not just him doing the dance with Jenny May Clarkson, with Jenny So doing all the hard lifting, you know? Jenny So doing all the hard lifting. You know, she's doing all the heavy lifting. She's really what a superstar. Does Maddie know your team, Jenny? 100% I've told him every day he uploads

one. I'm like, how does she do it? Look at her go. You know how competitive he is. I know. That's why I'm striving for him to be his best. I realise how to get the best out of people. Yeah. I'm like cyanide on rock, okay? I'm going to break down the rock and the gold comes out. Okay.

But then what do you do with this huge pool of cyanide? Bury it. Flush it down the river? Yeah. You bitch. Number two on the list of the top six adult advent calendar ideas, pets. Just every day as a new pet.

Okay, right, yeah. Various pets. How's the cat that's been in there for 24 days behind the advent calendar door? Well, it ate the rat behind door 14. That's why there was nothing on day 14. Yeah. Right. You left it too long.

Okay. And number one on the list of the top six ideas for an adult advent calendar, something we probably all need a little bit more of getting towards the end of the year, vegetables. It of the year. Vegetables. It's the vegetable. Yeah, nice. With a handy idea on how to make that vegetable edible.

And guess what? 90% of the time, it's just heaps of butter and garlic. And fried? Yeah, fried up. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Well, in America, Zillow have partnered with a paint company. Zillow's like a giant online real estate site. Like

Woodroof. Yes, the company's real estate site. More house listings than anywhere in the world in New Zealand. The world in New Zealand. Yeah, that makes sense. So they have found that what

paint colours your walls are help you get more money selling your house. Go on. In a study. So they have found that when it comes to interior paints, certain hues or colors could increase the offer price on an average house by up to $5,000. But then how much would it...

See, the color is always going to match the space, though. Well, yeah, absolutely. So they've... It's all about the right... I mean, I'm not an interior designer, so I couldn't tell you the right colours. But the survey found that homes with light blue bedrooms could sell for 1.6%

more than expected. So about $4,700 on the typical home. Light blue bedroom. Yeah. So dark blue bedrooms could up the sales price by nearly $1,500. So I'll show you the two examples. I don't mind that. Paint colors they've used.

So the first light blue is like a baby blue. It's like a sky. Like if you were having a baby boy, you'd be like, we've got the nursery set up. A pastel blue. Yeah, a pastel blue. It's like a sky. Like if you were having a baby boy, you'd be like, we've got the nursery set up. A pastel blue. Yeah, a pastel blue. And then this blue. Oh, that's dark.

That's a saison blue. That's like what I paint in my garage. Does that count? That's the pump house. That's the pump house, baby. That's for pumping. That's for nothing. And then the white one

that they've referred to is like a polar bear, which is like a, almost like like getting towards a creamy white. So they're even specifying which white. Well, it is a paint company that's done this study. So that's their paint. It would be like Rosene saying Ticapo blue or something. But you've got to, yeah, you've got to, maybe in the right space,

that blue could be good, but it's very dark. We've made the bedrooms dark. That's why it's good to have a light colour. It kind of adds light without actually having to do anything. Right. Well, bad news as well in this study for people with green, mint green kitchens. I'm tearing up at mint green kitchens because they're disgusting.

You're upset that they were ever considered a thing. Mint green kitchens could sell for $1,800 less than expected. Buyers had negative feelings also about bright red and yellow kitchens. That would actually be a fun game to go through like active real estate listings and just because you know how there's always like a shot of the kitchen. Yeah. And it would always be like, ugh. Because kitchens are the ones, kitchens and bathrooms.

Yeah, kitchens sell a house, that's what they say. But like bathrooms, sometimes you see bathrooms and you're like, there's a lot going on here. Yeah. There's a lot, a lot happening. I don't know where to look. They say if you want to be safe, just go for your neutrals. You've got an example there of that colour being used,

but that's almost like a Frenchy, homestead-y, high ceiling. It looks good there. Yeah. White cabinetry, light floors. I wouldn't imagine a whole bedroom like a dark blue. No. Not that that's a dark blue. It's like a really weird, like a teal almost.

Anyway, yeah, apparently, yeah, just neutral colours. I just don't know about coloured walls in general. Even that pastel blue, I'm not vibing. I was very um at our last place when we painted inside and shutters, like I want to do this light grey. I was very light grey, but it actually looked really good. So, you know, take a risk. Do a test patch.

Always do a test patch. ZDM's Fletchmore and Megan. Fire is hot. Your smoke alarm loves to look after you. When you look after them, they look after you. When a fire starts to burn, right? It's our time to establish a brand new fire warden here on the show. The idea is Shannon, who joins us.

Fire warden, Shannon, good morning. Good morning, how's it going? Good, thank you. Are you in your high-vis fire warden jacket that we've given you? Yes, I am. You got an axe? Just in case the door's locked and you need an axe. You don't get an axe.

Oh. What are those neat fire axes? Well, it's your chance to win $250 cash this morning and every morning. You've just got to test the smoke alarm at your place. And if somebody that you live with, Shannon, comes out and checks, like rushes out of the room to investigate, then you win the cash. You win the cash. Yeah.

Now, how many people do you live with, Shannon? I live with my wife and my two boys. Oh, no. And they're deep asleep right now. Yeah, pretty much. Is $250 enough to get you out of the dog box with your wife? That's a bit of common sense, never. Yeah.

Very good, man. All right, well, Shannon, let's now test your smoke alarm and see if we can rouse them. Cool. I do have multiple smoke alarms. Do you want multiple set off or just the one? Oh, we've only asked for one. Sure, I like this attitude.

He's taking his firewood and roll very seriously. Absolutely. All right, go for it. Yeah, I just need a chair. I'm not tall enough. We were like, oh, it must be one of those situations where it's so loud. It's like. Oh, I hear someone.

Are you in trouble, Shannon? Are you in trouble? Yeah, sorry. Just say I wasn't sure if it was working. No. Tell her about the money. No, wasn't sure if it was working. No. Tell her about the money. No, don't tell her about the money. What?

Well, I want to see what happens. Because, Shannon, are you all right? Are you in trouble? No, I'm okay. My wife and both my boys are just... Well, it worked. It's all great. That's 100% attendance rate.

It even wakes up the kids. That's awesome. You see? Tell her safety is sexy. And tell her that her next husband should also make sure that the smoke alarms work. Hey, well, Shannon, congratulations. $250 as our Fletchfawn and Megan fire warden this morning. And when you look after your smoke alarms, they look after you and they work, as you can see.

Shannon, well done. Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan. There's a new condition for smartphone users. If you could all pick up your phone, and at home you can do this too, pick up your phone, how you'd usually hold it, and just take note of where your pinky finger is. Oh, mine's providing support. We're all doing the same thing, so your pinky's in the middle

providing support, kind of like just the same thing. So your pinky's in the middle providing support. Kind of like just past your knuckle, right? Mm-hmm. You might be suffering from a condition known as smartphone pinky. And there is a picture that they've used as an example of Justin Bieber. And he has quite a pronounced smartphone pinky. So after the knuckle, there is an indent. Oh, my God, there is. But both of my

fingers have it and I never used my left hand. I don't have it. Mine's definitely more on the right though. I don't think I have it. Or unless, because I use it on both. Can you see a difference there between my two? Your right hand. Yeah. Is that a callus? What is it? You've got like a pink bit. Is it like a little blister? Yeah, I think it's where my phone sits. I think it's just red because my phone is just there. You need some driving gloves.

Yes. Gym gloves. Yeah, yeah. Some weightlifting gloves to reduce the... Because aren't we meant to be getting like big padded tennis size thumbs as well? Padded tennis bat thumbs. It's like, because they're like little pads.

Yeah, because we're always like. And hunched over necks. You need a defined thumb to use a smartphone. Not a big thick one. Yeah, not a big thick one. You need it like thinner to hit all the little bits. So you think maybe they'll shrink. But the game, I know gaming.

Yeah. The way controllers are at the moment, you've got your thumbs could be paddle-like and it wouldn't matter too much. Right, well this is another thing. Smartphones and the internet's ruining. Yeah, so apparently lots of people are putting up pictures now being like, do I have it?

I have it. Either I have it on both hands or I don't have it. And the pinkies just look the same. Are we sure this just isn't a thing our little fingers have always done? But now it's just... Look at my pinky, it's kind of angled. Is that my pinky? Oh yeah, it's like your, the phone's bent your finger up.

Yeah. Because I held my hands up and my three middle fingers are on sort of like all good angles and then the last one's blown out a bit. But then I just think that's hands, right? That's opposability. Mine's not bent. I don't know. Mine is bent.

Mine's not bent. Yeah, that one is. Your left hand one pops out on a bit of a funny angle. That's only because I went like that. So basically we're just going to have little pinky fingers that are like cradles and thumbs that are like little pointers. Which is probably a good thing if we've got this little nook. It won't slip out.

Yeah. Sometimes it does slip out. Do you know, there's been this panic forever. There was newspaper finger. That was when we used to spend all the time reading newspapers. Yeah. You know, because they'd hold them shut. Yeah.

Then there was phone shoulder. Do you remember when everybody was worried about like you were going to do your neck out because you were on the Uniden cordless and you had it. And we all remember fax fingers. Did we? Just pushing the numbers on the fax button. Yeah. I worry our fingers fall off.

All the faxes. Yeah. It's been around forever. Yeah, it's just the latest thing to panic about. ZM's Fleshworn and Megan. Play ZM. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10.

Instagram page along with the two clues so far that we've had. Now this is the sound. For $10,000, Olivia, what do you think it is? I think it's locking in a blender. Locking in a blender. Oh, putting the base.

Yeah, clicking it in. They're always ugly little things, aren't they? Yeah. Okay, do you own a blender, Soundkeeper Owls? I do, yes. I do. Okay, Olivia. Do you own one, Owls?

Yes, I do. I have my smoothies in the morning. Oh. Wow, wow, wow. Wow, wow, wow. This is all looking good. Oh, is she on to something? Olivia, it's not a bad guess.

I love a smoothie. Have you been testing this out yourself a lot of the time? Yeah, I have a few times, yeah. Last night. Nice. You might get cramps in your fingers, though. Don't do that. Is it the secret sound, though?

How are you attaching a blender that you can get cramp in your fingers? It's a very simple process. I don't know. You need to work on your finger fitness. I do. I truly do. Olivia. Locking a blender in place is not the secret sound.

Alright. Back to the secret sound. Ah! All right. Back to the drawing board. Eight o'clock is the next chance for you to have a crack at that $10,000. Thanks, Olivia. We'll add that guess, ZM Secret Sound on Instagram to keep up with those.

Oh, God, no. We have a budget to stick to here. The world's most chaotic game show. Thank you, Harrison and Megan, for playing, and to our other callers that have since been dropped off the face of the phone planet. This was Squid Game before Squid Game. It was. I was thinking that when we were playing it,

but just with no, yeah, exactly. Oh, no, those other callers have been killed. Oh, have they? Okay. They knew that was part of it, didn't they? Didn't you tell them that? I know, I don't think you told them that. Hey, you.

ZDM, Spledgeforn and Megan. There's a game online. It's a text-based game. You can play this. Really, really well done. It says at the end of the game who made it. And you basically, you're in charge of the country during COVID. If you weren't sick of the pandemic as it was.

It's like a pick a path. You get options at the end of every page. It tells you how many community cases you've got, deaths, your R value. Right. Which, if you haven't heard, what does the R stand for? It's how many people each case will infect. Yeah. And then, of course, if it's any larger than one, it just exponentially blows out and in itself becomes bigger.

So you start by reading. It says, Tēnā koe and congratulations, you're now the Prime Minister of Aotearoa New Zealand. You're responsible for leading us through this COVID-19 pandemic. Will you choose freedom or tyranny? Will you let people live or die? Will you choose to give people what they want?

It's all up to you. Wow, okay. So then you enter your name. My name. Vaughan. This is obviously a work of fiction. That's not my real name. Are you ready to take charge of this great nation?

And then your decisions begin What are you going to do? Here's what I've learnt from playing it a few times Yeah You go easy on people Deaths go through the roof And everyone's like How could you let this happen?

You go hard on people The number starts coming down But they don't get to do whatever they want They're like How could you do this? You play it down the middle. Yeah. People die and people think their freedoms were affected.

Yeah. And you can't win. I have not yet had any type of positive outcome, overall positive, because I went real hard on one of them. And the South Island was just like, get rid of them. I just text the rich people who were going to their holiday homes that says Mike Hoskins uninvited me from his latest party. But generally people are pretty happy.

But yeah. So you were saying that in this game, in this scenario, any of the scenarios, there's no right answer. Nah. That's kind of. But now all of the South Island are saying nasty things about me. Yeah, they're pissy down there in this game. One thing I can All of the South Island Are saying nasty things About me Yeah they're pissy down there

In this game One thing I can understand Is that the South Island Not happy They're pissy right now In the real game In the real game of life My political aide

Says that if I bribe people They'll stop saying Bad things about me But then you're gonna be corrupt Don't do it Well I can give everyone A $50 takeaway voucher That's what I did

I do that one every time Because I think I'd like that Or I can give everyone a $50 takeaway voucher. That's what I did. I do that one every time. Because I think I'd like that. Or I can give everyone a copy of Lorde's album. A copy of Lorde's album? Or tax breaks. Oh, this is stressful. Or give us tax breaks.

That'll carry some paper. Who's going to pay for the ICU to be expanded? If we're giving out tax breaks? Yeah, because all my ventilators are being used. Exactly. You're at maximum ventilators. You can't be afforded to give tax breaks. Yeah, because all my ventilators are being used. Exactly, you're at maximum ventilators. You can't be afforded to give tax breaks. Do you think everybody should play this game? Yes, it's very stressful.

It kind of reminds you that there is no right answer here or that we're in this bizarre, hard situation. Yeah. I think so. The more you play it, yeah, the more you realise there's no winning. People get pissed off with you if you lock them down. People are pissy by nature.

And they're looking for any excuse to be a little more... I'm giving you around a tax break. Oh, the policy cost us $200 million by the end of the year. Yeah, you dumbass. I brought in mandated vaccinations and, wow, I tell you what, there was some trouble. That was across the board too. That just wasn't people who the government are paying.

That wasn't your teachers and your hospital staff. I can imagine this is what happens in the Prime Minister's beehive office. I gave them a tax break and they said they're pissed because it's only enough to buy an extra block of cheese a week. Oh, bring in the army. I brought in the army. I got to a point where I was like, you guys just don't know what's good for you.

I got Ultron on it. I was like, the only way we're going to get peace here is if I'm in control. How did that go, Dictator Smith? It didn't go great. It was a revolution. Okay. Oh, God. Where can people play this game if they need to waste a day away?

KyotoMrWills.com slash COVID-19.html. Or more easily, we'll probably just put one of those swipe up things in our Instagram story. Oh, yeah. Because I've just read out an HTTP URL. COVID19.html. Or more easily, we'll probably just put one of those swipe up things in our Instagram story. Oh, yeah. Because I've just read out an HTTP URL. Yeah, that's practically you've done like a boom broadcaster move. KiaoraMrWills.com slash, could be backslash, could be forward slash, COVID-19.html. We'll get a link up on our story. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

Well, he might be a couple of minutes late, but he joins us to talk about his new book, You Can't Stop the Sun from Shining. Sonny Bill Williams, good morning. Hey, guys. How are you? Good, good. Oh, man, I just jumped straight off.

It wasn't my fault. It was other people. You're OK. Just radius caught born reading there. I'm in the middle of reading. You're looking at the pictures eh yeah we were just saying it's um the pictures are colour and on a nice glossy

paper it's good because you know what I like when people cheap out on the pictures and they go black and white you know what I said to them I said look whenever I pick up a book I look straight at the pictures so the pictures don't read it's what I did everybody does right you can see you've got two picture bits I was like I book, I look straight at the pictures. So the pictures... It's what I did. Everybody does, right? You can see down there, you've got two picture bits.

I was like, I'm going to look at those. 100%. So are you based in... Are you in Sydney? I'm in Sydney, man. I'm in Sydney. It's an early start for us. Yeah, I was going to say early.

Kids are always up, so... Yeah, you've got kids. Sleep's a distant memory at this stage now. 100%, man. Oh, my gosh. So what made you want to do the book? Is it because in lockdown everybody had to either write a book or start a podcast and you didn't want to start a podcast?

Yes. Well, I wish it was that fast. It actually took us close to a year to do. Wow. The process of writing a book is forever especially in these times zoom zoom zoom uh really grateful to be doing it with alan duff once for warriors um he's such a good man family man but for me that's the whole process was that it was i've been head up for a while to do a book and i need to be honest guys never in my wildest dreams that I ever think I would write a book but when I'm a big fan of uh trying to walk that talk you know and the growth that

comes with it that's a big reason why I've done it uh to I guess tell my story because I know there are a lot of people out there that have that come from that same place that I've come from uh and I knew that although it was uncomfortable talking about some things just the growth for me would be massive just like getting into TV it's probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever done but I know now after a year of doing it I'm a lot more comfortable in that space and even just talking to you guys, maybe before the TV stuff, I would have been really nervous before these interviews. But now, after changing the nappy, it's all good. I was just going to say, you would have got nervous about TV and radio

and interviews and you said, I didn't think I could ever write a book. But you're literally the dude that would be like, might play for the All Blacks this year. Might go back to league. I don't know. We'll see what happens. I'm good enough to kind of do whatever I want. Might give this boxing thing a blast.

And, you know, kind of whatever you set your mind to, you can do. So this is the easy part. This is sitting and chatting. But, you know, I think, I feel like that's the powerful part of the book. Like, I guess my style of play, you know, how I am or how I've come across sometimes, it's like, oh, who does this dickie think he is?

He's so overconfident and he just thinks he can do this, do that. But I feel like when you read the book, you understand the massive insecurities, the massive struggles. And I think that was the strength of me, like, understanding of the work in progress. That I'd always just, okay, that was the struggle, was actually, oh, I'm going to do it. I'm going to try and go back to New Zealand

and play for the All Blacks. Or who does this guy think he is to come to New Zealand? That's the reason, you know reason why I think the book is so powerful is that it's just a book of being vulnerable and going, alright, this is what I think I should do or I'm going to give it a crack. And then you read where I get it from my old

lady going through that whole process I understand my mum was pretty hard to you know. I want to talk to you because you were the massive rugby and sports guy heartthrob and you probably don't want to talk to you because you were the massive rugby and sports guy heartthrob. And you probably don't want to recognise yourself as that. But then I find it quite fascinating because in your book, you mention how you and your wife got married just four weeks after meeting.

Yes. How did that happen? Yeah, well, it's a crazy way to think, especially how we grew up in the Western way of living. I think, you know, for myself at that time, at that time, you know, I stayed in the book that probably my biggest struggle was with the opposite sex. I had those struggles, but I was at a time where I was trying to be a better man from that space. I don't want to look when I met my wife. She tells me that she was the most beautiful thing in the world. That's why we married so straight away, but we'll go with that.

But it was from a time where I didn't want to just look at her like that. I wanted to look at her more. And that was the journey that I was trying to get on. And alhamdulillah, she was on that same path too. So yes, we didn't love each other when we got married, but it was a commitment to each other. You know, that's what it was. It was a commitment to our relationship. It was a commitment to our marriage. It was me trying to be the best husband i could be and her trying to be the best wife she could be and um through that whole process through that mindset living for probably something greater than ourselves which was our faith and we came to a great place

and humbly we've got four beautiful kids uh you know and like the bro just said it's not a mistake if it's a learning experience and we've had many learning experiences because you know, and like the bro just said, it's not a mistake if it's a learning experience. And we've had many learning experiences because, you know, getting married after four weeks was quite different, I guess, how we've grown up. But it's probably for me, I can honestly say, is the best thing I've ever done, best thing that we've ever done. The struggles are still real sometimes when I leave my dirty washing

on the ground. See, that's not a mistake because you keep making the same one. I know this. I've been married for a while. I know that. That's been thrown in my face. Blame it on the kids, bro. Yeah, the kids came into our bathroom

and bloody used my towel and made it look like it was me. Those kids, those kids. Yes, but long answer short, we're in a great place now. And we will be in a great place as long as we keep that mindset. Awesome. Well, thanks so much for your time. The book is You Can't Stop the Sun from Shining.

Sonny Billy Williams with Alan Duff, who, as you said, wrote Once Were Warriors and a string of other New Zealand books and colour pictures colour pictures and colour pictures colour pictures

look it up for the pictures guys yeah great family photos Sonny Bill thanks so much for your time man cheers guys CDM's Fletchborn and Megan

made myself a click and collect purchase so jazzed about it it is a steam mop because don't make that face. Go on. I've never owned a steam mop.

I've always done the bucket of water, chuck it in. It's just not my favourite thing. Well, you're a damn sucker then. Suck fools. Steam mops are great.

I don't even know if they're that good but I just like how it goes. Yeah, are they actually worth it? Well, I don't know because I've never owned one. But when I picked it up from Miner 10, distance with the mask on, the woman who gave me my steam mop was like, this is going to change your life.

What brand did you go for? Is it Sheffield? It was like a cheap one. It was the cheapest one they had because I wasn't sure. Yeah, triangle. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Now we're talking.

She gave it a glowing review. We actually had like a decent chat about the steam mop and her favourite setting. She was as jazzed about this as you were. I think we were both starved for human connection too, so we had all our chat about the steam mop. And I left feeling even more excited about my purchase. Cordless? No.

Can you eat cordless ones? Yeah, but you've got to plug them into charge and stuff. Oh my god, I've never had so much fun mopping the floor. It was like I boiled the jug on a mop and then honed around and it was done in no time. It literally made my weekend. Now apparently

this can also convert into a powerful handheld steamer. Yes, so you can steam your clothes. So you know how you're like, oh, I don't own a shirt. Yeah. The one shirt I do own is crinkled. You hang them up and you just. Well, no, it's never crinkled because I always get it dry cleaned. Oh, yeah.

So I have to iron it. Yeah, but like I never get the time to dry clean it before you want to wear it again. CBF. So you can use the steamer. That was the woman from Mitre 10's favourite setting. The handheld steamer. Was she on a bloody tape? I was going to say you need to get out more, but you can't.

I can't. Because of level three. Yeah. I was so jazzed about it and I can't believe I've waited until I was like 29 to get a steam mop. Did you team it up with a five metre extension cord for 65? I'll let you have that. Or did you have an extension cord? I've got an extension cord.

Okay, good. Yeah, because that's our one that we got. Sade poo-pooed it and she's gone back to a manual, but I love getting out the steam mop. A manual mop? You've got to be careful on the laminated floors because it can force steam down through the gaps. I read that. It thrives on a tile though floors because it can force steam down through the gaps. I read that. It thrives on a tile though. Then your cracks start to open up.

Yeah. So I hooned around real quick because I read that. I also did it in bare feet and I don't think I'll do that again. Oh, I like that. Because it's steamy on the toes. Nah. It's like you've got underfloor heating. Except it's wet.

Yeah. It's a whole thing. Yeah. But I don't think I'll go back. Don't you just have like a tiny bit of tiled area? It's like the kitchen area. And then I've got the bathrooms that need a mop. It's good stuff.

Okay. It is good stuff. You get it. I'm so jazzed. I'll never go back. And off the back of my wonderful steam mop, I wondered if there was a purchase, an adult purchase that's just really got you jazzed.

I want one of those window vacuums. You know when you've got condensation. This has got a window setting. Huh? You can change it to clean your windows. Oh, I know that's to clean the windows, but I'm talking when you've got condensation and you turn on that Karcher thing.

I've got a Karcher thingy. My mum gave it to me for Christmas because she loves it and I think I've used it once. God, mums's in there dealing with condensation on the windows. I just remember growing up that had the fire going all night so the house was like a sauna in the lounge and then mum would be like, that's condensation.

And then she'd get out her beach towel because she's not going to the beach in the middle of winter. She'd soak it up. Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. Yeah. She'd fizz for it. Okay, soak, squeak, squeak, squeak. Yeah. She'd fizz for it. Okay, so you want to hear from people

that just got so excited about a purchase that maybe normally... Well, you tell other people and they give you that reaction. You're just like, cool, you've got a mop. I'll give you a good reaction, I promise. Tell me about your adult purchase. Well, Veronica joins us.

What's the adult purchase that got you excited? Well, we bought a new laundry dryer combo thing, but the thing that got me real jazzed was the stacker unit. And it has this little tray that you pull out and you can fold your clothes and then leave them there while you fold the rest of them straight out of the dryer. Fletch hated his. Fletch hated his. Tell her how much you hated it.

Tell her how much you hated the stacker. I just didn't, I didn't think it was needed. I chucked it out. We got one when we were setting Sade's dad's apartment up because he didn't have the room. So I bought the stacker so it holds it all together. And I was like, look, it's got a drawer. And Fletch was like, hey, one of those.

Hated it. I was like, that seems so hectic. I just got rid of it. But it is pretty exciting when your washer and dryer match each other, eh? Oh, yeah. I, like, seriously took photos of that and showed all my friends. I'm like, look at this laundry. And they were all just like, eye roll.

I'm going to work towards that. One day I'll get matching. They've got to be a team. Veronica, thanks. Jono, what's your adult purchase you're super excited about? My mum bought a little kettle. You put water on the bottom. Then in the next

little compartment up, you put coffee. I've got one of these, Jono. They are... The little red one. Yeah, very... And then put them on the gas. After a couple of minutes, the water comes to his coffee and makes one cup.

My mum has a red one. Your mum has a red? Like the coffee she puts in there is red? No. Oh, the kettle is red. They were always silver. The coffee is dark brown though. That is so cute.

And mum loves it, does she? Oh yeah, she loves it. She was so excited when she got it. Do you know what? I don't know. How old are you, Jono? I'm 11. Okay, I reckon you're almost...

My birthday was in July. Well, happy birthday for July, Jono. I reckon you're almost at that age where you could make mum a coffee in the morning. Is she comfortable with you using the gas oven? Oh, yeah, I did that when I was nine or eight. Oh, yeah. She's got your well-trained, Jono. She's got your coffee every morning.

She's got your only one. She's raising a good man here. She is. Jono, thank you for your call. Thanks for calling. You can keep your texts coming in. We are talking about your adult purchases, things you bought and you're like,

when I was a kid, I would have thought this was straight up dumb, but now I'm an adult and I am super excited about a steam mop. Megan certainly sold some steam mops today. Yeah. You've influenced people. Not even on commish.

She should hit up Mitre 10 and do like a swipe up code on Instagram. Get some commish. Yeah. Straight. Somebody text messaged in, during a New Zealand wide level four lockdown, I bought a carpet shampooer. The water came out black. So gross, but so satisfying. Right.

I need it. I need it. How satisfying would that be, having the water come out? Just go hire a rug doctor, basically. Yeah, just go hire a rug doctor, though. No, but you think you've got it on hand all the time. How often are you going to do that, though?

Yeah, I'm not sure. It depends how easy it is. Do you reckon you'd bust it on hand all the time. How often are you going to do that, though? Yeah, I'm not sure. It depends how easy it is. I reckon you'd bust it out if the dog, like, walked in and put, like, three footprints. You'd be like, better get the carpet shampoo. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. And then your carpet's faded within, you know. Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that.

Is that what happens? Does carpet fade? I don't know. The colour? Not really, eh? Not modern carpet. Not modern carpet. Penny, carpet. Not modern carpet. Penny, what adult purchase did you get super excited about?

So, we had these heaps and heaps of stuff on the floor in the garage for like a year and a half. Okay. Like soil and buckets and heaps of storage stuff and I'd always drive over it with the car. So, we went to Mitre 10 and got this, we got this shelf from Mitre 10. Yep. A specific storage shelf

for the garage. Yeah. And it's the most incredible thing I've ever seen. And whenever my partner and I saw it, our minds would just

be blown every time. We were like, it just made the garage so incredible and I was so excited about it. We had some friends over. Yeah.

And we said, oh my God, this storage shelf, you won't believe how amazing it is. Yeah. And we said, oh, my God, this storage shelf, you won't believe how amazing it is. Yeah. And then they came and had a look, and they were just like, yeah, that's it. They were like, yeah.

Is it like a whole unit? Is there like a bench and cupboards and drawers? No. It's just one shelf, so I can't tell you how much. I can't tell you how much. But it's changed your life. So it's just a steel-framed shelf. Yeah, steel-framed.

Oh, my gosh. Wow. Who would have thought a shelf would have organised your garage? Who would have thought? I just love that every time you put a car into your garage, you had to line it up so you didn't run stuff over you. So it slipped under the car. Yeah.

Brilliant. Penny, thanks for your call. James, what's the adult purchase that's just really got you jazzed? So I am in the process of shopping for a lawnmower, and I'm super jazzed about it because I don't know. Are you going to get one that has an auto start? You don't have to pull the cord? Well, no.

I'm actually looking for one that's got an auto walker, so it walks itself. Then it sounds like a way to run over the cat james now you pull a little you're walking with it the self-propelled ones did your grandparents not have these it gets to an age where they had a granddad had a fly mo which blew my mind but i don't have i don't have time for a fly mo these days but no a self-propelled will do me just fine. Your jazz James sexier call?

Some other text messages in. I'm Chantal. I'm 26 years old and I just bought a spade for the first time. It's one of those flat straight edge ones. I spent two days

going overboard. I was drunk on power. I dug over my gardens, did the weeding on the footpaths, even scrapped the excess gravel off my driveway. Just looking for something to do with that spade, isn't she?

This is dangerous territory. Good spade. Yeah, lots of people making some pretty tops. A drill. I was 40 years old. I'm a 40-year-old woman when I first got a drill. Good Lord, that's an empowering piece of cake. It is. Good stuff. You just drill holes in things. It's woman when I first got a drill. Good Lord, that's an empowering piece of cake. It is.

Good stuff. You just drill holes in things. It's great. I've only had my own drill. I feel like I can't touch. Do you not own a drill? No. Well, Andrew's got a drill, but I feel like I can't touch it.

Because it's like his power tool, you know? Yeah. In a divorce, you could get half that drill. So it's technically half yours. Take all the drill bits and the battery. ZM's F thanks to Neon. Watch the TV series and movies everyone's talking about on Neon,

our favourite Kiwi streaming service. $10,000 is the current jackpot, and that $10,000 is yours if you can tell us what this sound is. Hmm. Hmm. Brooke, good morning. Hello. All right, so, Brooke, you've done the hard bit. You've got through.

Yes. Now you need to tell us what this sound is for $10,000. God, all right. I've had no bloody idea. It's been driving me absolutely crazy. And I didn't think I was going to get through. So it kind of just came to me. And I thought maybe it was like a courier door opening and like latching.

Like a van door? You know, like a van door, yeah. Slide clip. Okay, Soundkeeper Al's currently in level three at home. Have you been getting some courier drop-offs? I am waiting for a lot of books to be dropped off and I'll tell you, that sound is very exciting. Okay.

Have you thought about a Kindle? Actually, kind of, because I don't like ruining my books. What about not being a nerd? What about not being a bully, Bourne? Yeah. Oh, reading! I'm just saying, I've got no time to read because I'm watching all of the great shows on Neon. I'm doing that too. I've got no time to read because I'm watching all of the great shows on Neon.

I'm doing that too. I've got more things to do, reading and Neon. She's got lots of time. And not being a bully. Hey, Brooke. All right, so the courier, the latch, when it shuts or opens? I'd probably say when you, like, open it and, like, pull it right across. Like a van door, that big kind of clunky

that does work how does it fit with the clothes though do you know the clothes brooke yeah um the level three made me maybe like ordering a level four and like securing it you know turning up in level three okay well let's Buy now, pay later, was it? Or something like that. Yeah, buy now, use later. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That works.

Could be buying it and level forward. Mm-hmm. But is it the same? Not sounding very promising, guys. Okay, okay, Brooke. I'll get you out of your misery. A career door opening is not the secret sound. That's good, though.

Good guess it was. It's a good guess. We'll have another chance at 11 o'clock this morning with Georgia to get through. And then throughout the day, again, at 1, 4, and 5, all thanks to Neon. Hey, you on the phone, I bet 5, all thanks to Neon. Hey, you on the phone,

I bet I can guess your mum's name. It's the return of I bet I can guess your mum's name. Bridget joins us. Good morning, Bridget. Good morning. Now, Vaughn now has five questions to ask you about your mum, and then we'll have 15 seconds to try and guess her name.

If he can do that, $100 cash. And I didn't want to bring it up. Megan brought it up, but you are on a bit of a losing streak. You haven't had a win for months. Let's bring it up. Okay. All right. Bridget, where are you?

Bridget, are you in a tunnel or on a Department of Conservation walk? I just pulled over on the way into Palmerston North. Lovely. Lovely. There's a freebie. That's a freebie. the way into Palmerston North. Lovely, lovely. There's a freebie. That's a freebie. Is it? That's a freebie. Okay, all right.

It's a free clue, that one. All right. Apparently. What are... I'm going to write that to you. But we don't know if you live near your mum. You're in the Manawatu, but is she? Question mark.

You're going to ask her that? Is that a question? No, God no. No, no, no. Bridget, good. Don't give him any more freebies. I mean, Bridget, you could, you win if I get it, so we should be working as a team.

What are mum's siblings' names? Question one. She's got two brothers, Jason and Craig, and she's got a sister, DB. Oh, that gives you a really good indication there. Real, like, solid name. Solid Kiwi name. Solid name.

She's not afraid to bloody knock it in four-wheel drive and give it ass ass up the driveway. I don't want you to turn it off if it's your hazard lights, though, because you are pulled over. We don't want you. No, I'm all right. I'm right off the road. Yeah, but she's pulled over on a rural road. She's not pulled over on a busy state highway. Yeah, but I don't think an indicator's a good warning.

Well, it's completely up to you. Bridget, I would hate to be asking you my third question and have someone plough into the back of you, you know? Can we put on the hazard lights, please, Bridget? Well, they'll be just as loud, I'm sure. Well, no, that's fine. I don't care. I just don't want to know.

You're a brick in the cast. The cast is over. This is a sign. COVID is beating. Why did you do that? It wasn't even a venture. You were just like, John. No, I just went. You went for one of the most top five popular dad things

of that generation. I just wanted to go for the most common. And I thought about all the people my parents age. And I was like, there's so many Johns. John. Grandpa John. Yes. Grandpa John.

Yay. Bridget, congratulations. You've won $200. $200. Yes. Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. All right.

Well done, Bridget. Wait there. We'll hook you up with the cash. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Vaughn's still coming down from a high, a double win for, bet I can guess your mum's name, mum and dad. And those drugs I took before. Honestly, the happiest he's been in weeks.

I know. You literally did the song. I was just like. It was good to get it back, you know. It's good after months of a win. I just felt like I'd lost it. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't want to do it.

Right. Behind the scenes, I'd be like, you'd be like, let's do it, but I can guess your mum's name again. And I'm like, I don't want to do it. Some days he'd be like, no, we're not doing it today. We're not doing it today. I don't want to do it today.

I bet you'll do it next week, won't you? You'll be happy to do it. I'm going to give away so much money. So I said I have a pill problem that I would need to talk about. I'm not addicted to any pills. Well, there's your drug dealer saying your pills are ready. No, so I have this back thing where my disc is... I've got a back thing too.

It's below the shoulders above the ass. Yeah, I've got one too. But mine's slipped over. One of the discs has slipped over the other disc and it pinches the ass. Yeah, I've got one too, but mine's slipped over. One of the discs has slipped over the other disc and it pinches the nerve. Yeah. That's why I've got a sore back. So what do you mean discs?

The back is made up of a whole bunch of discs, right? Yeah, your vertebrae. What have they got between them? Like a cartilage-y thing. So once that's gone, that's gone, that's gone, right? You can't regrow that. So my vertebrae, yeah, so it's like basically the doctor made an analogy, like you grab a paper club and you go backwards, forwards, backwards, forwards,

and then it just like breaks. That's how I break wire. Yeah. It went around like that. It gets real hot, and then it just, the weakest point pops. Yeah. So anyway, so I have to get an injection, but because of COVID, the backlog is August,

so I'll be in a bit of pain for a few more months. Wait, you mean next year? August next year? No, the backlog from August. Oh. So you can't get appointments because they're still doing stuff

from August. August, September, October. Yeah, and so I have to get an injection, and they have to CT scan you to see where the needle is so they don't paralyze you. So they can see it on the screen

when they put it in. Yeah. You've had one of those, eh? I have. It made me cry. It was very... they don't paralyze you. So they can see it on the screen when they put it in. Yeah. You've had one of those, eh? I have. It made me cry. It was very... I don't want to cry. So I've been on these anti-inflammatories like Diclofenac or whatever they're called.

And you pop one of those if you're in pain and it's fine. It just kind of makes it feel a bit better. Okay. I don't need them all the time because it's only sometimes. Diclofenac. Do you not even know what's in that? No. It's an anti-inflammatory.

But what are the ingredients? I don't know. I'm trusting science and it feels good. What? Yeah, I know. Can we trust them? But so anyway, so I got like a couple of boxes of these from the pharmacy after I got the doctor's thingy. And then I looked at the expiry date and the pharmacy's done that thing

that supermarkets do when the yogurt's about to expire and they mark it down. Do you get it for cheap? Well, no. I mean, but they expire in like three weeks. So I've got like two boxes of pills that expire in three weeks.

Is that like... That's weird. Don't flush them down the toilet. Why? Because then the fish get them. Yeah, but the fish won't be inflamed. Yeah. No, because it's one of those things that goes into the treatment thing,

but then comes out the other end. Yeah, well, I wasn't going to. You can't see it. I wasn't going to flush them down the toilet. Fish are all on antidepressants now. And that's not even a joke. I've watched the thing about how the water systems are all connected

and fish, which traditionally like hid in the reeds at the side of the lakes and stuff and stayed in the shallows are all like full of bravado

and they've lost their anxiety about swimming to the middle of the ocean and they're like and he swam and he swam all over the glom and he gets eaten

by a bigger fish. Yeah, and then some of them are on the water. He wasn't afraid on the way. No, but some of them are on a meth too, so you've got some that are on... Those are the ones that are eating the one... They're snapping the sticks off and sharpening them on the rocks

and taking them into the middle of the thing. Eat me, will ya? But like, what do you do when you're like, you've just got these, do they do swapsies at the pharmacy? Surely that's a mistake. Because you can't even get through that many. Yeah.

Surely. And, like, these are meant to last me for the next, like, whatever months. But drugs are like spices. They don't go off. Are you sure? Yeah, I've got a bloody cinnamon in the cupboard in 2015, but I tell you, it's still cinnamon. Now, I just looked up diclofenac.

Diclofenac. It can be taken by mouth rectally. Okay. How have you been taking yours? I just. Bit of both? Yeah. No, I take it with a glass of water.

Right. Up the bum. How do you get it up there? It's a funnel. You use a funnel. You put a pill in, then you funnel in the water. Yeah. Gotcha.

You should try a pump bottle with a hair tie around the club. I just remembered your brother's a pharmacist. He gets this all the time. Gotcha. You should try a pump bottle with a hair tie around the clip. I just remembered your brother's a pharmacist. He gets this all the time. What do you mean? People take back their pills. But can he swapsies? Well, I don't know

the deal on swapsies. Well, he's given me some that are only three weeks till they're off. Right. I don't know, but he said when people die, families will come in

with just like grandma's Tupperware containers full of pills and be like, here. How much? My brother's like, what do you want me to do with them? How much? No, they're not selling them back. They're just like, we don't know what to do with these,

so can you just give these to other people? He's like, that's not really how pills work. You just chuck them in the bin. So he just takes them home and has a good weekend. I'm sure he's going to love you saying that. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Fact of the day, day, Vaughn and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day,

day, day. Here's a fact about snakes. Snakes. Snakes. And in particular, the garter snake. One of the most widespread snakes can be found from Canada all the way down

to Costa Rica. Oh, yeah. So it's, you know, all the northern Americas there. Today's fact of the day about the garter snake, which is like a picture book snake, too. Looks exactly like if you would try to draw a snake when you were a kid. I mean, come on, Vaughan, what do you mean all snakes are just squiggly lines with eyeballs at the front, right?

You're right, you're right. But the head of the snake looks a lot like, you know, like a small version of that big snake from the Jungle Book. Yeah. That sort of snake looking thing. No cobra bits out here, although those are pretty cool. Today's fact about it is that male garter snakes can produce male and female pheromones. Oh, okay. Why, Vaughn? Well, it's because... Bisexual. Correct. No. Almost though. So mating season comes just

after hibernation season. Okay. So when they wake up from hibernation, they produce the female pheromones so that male snakes will come and attempt to copulate with them. Okay. And that will give them warmth, because you know how snakes have got to be warm, like

some to aid in digestion, they need to be warm, they'll lay in the sun, they need the heat lamps, they need to lay on rocks. A reptilian digestive situation. The warmth that they get from this, I guess there's no better word for it than dry humping, kickstarts their body and allows them to become more active more quickly. And then that male who they've just tricked into mating with them

then has expended energy so they're less likely to find a female nearby to mate with them. Oh, right. However, this sort of skullduggery in the perfect situation could just lead to a string of males all mating with each other and no... Babies. No babies, no snake babies going forward for a season.

I mean, that's a one in a bajillion chance, but hey, crazy things have happened. Huh. Who knew? So to get themselves kick-started, they release female pheromones and then another male will assist them with a little warming. Yeah.

Do they tell them at the end? Huh, got you. Or do they just let them go? I guess every snake handles it differently. Okay, right. Okay, good. Thank you. Bye.

I had fun. See you next time. Shit. I wonder what that is. So today's fact of the day is the male garter snake is actually capable of releasing female pheromones. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Gyllenhaal, Gyllenhaal, Gyllenhaal.

Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal. He's done an ad for Prada Fragrance. It's a weird ad. It's a bizarre ad, isn't it? Really.

Why are fragrance ads always so dumb? No offence, fragrance ads. But they are. But you're weird. Why do they all have to be the same? Yeah. Luna Rosa, Prada Paralia. Yeah, like he's out on a boat and it's like,

because Prada sponsored the America's Cup team, right? And he's out and he's sailing and it's like rough weather and stuff. And when I see that, I don't think that would smell nice. It's supposed to be like fresh or something. I think it would smell like fish. I don't know why I assume there are any fish because they're in the ocean. So that's my automatic assumption. And salt and wet and sweaty.

And vomit because you got seasick. Definitely I'm vomiting. So it's not a great fragrance. But anyway, that's how they choose to go. And vomit because you got seasick. Definitely I'm vomiting. So it's not a great fragrance. But anyway, that's how they choose to go and he's very handsome and I can see why they went with him

as a front man. And he posted on Instagram saying, out on the open ocean this weekend, learned everything I know about boating from filming the

Prada Lunarossa ocean fragrance campaign. The rest I learned from watching Pirates of the Caribbean. Right. And then there's a photo of him and he's devilishly

handsome and it's had like over a million likes and all these comments and people are very inappropriately offering themselves up to Jake. And yeah. An array of situations. And then it shows the next one is him and it's the blue screen when they're like spraying him in the face with water and he's pretending to drive the boat

and then. Wait, so he's not even on the ocean? I mean, it's pretty obvious from the ad. It's terrible CGI. Then, there's a photo of him in his Prada jacket, which looks like a comfortable jacket. They want to see me one? They're not seeing you one.

Look what's on his feet. Gumboots. Those are muck boot gumboots. Now, recently I became a farm fluencer. I did a post for PGG Wrightson. Yeah. And they said, do you want, we'll chuck a pair of these boots in. Yeah.

And I was like, those are flash boots. Those are flash boots. See, they look like wetsuit material, but they're gumboots. When I got them, I was like, how waterproof are these going to be? But literally, I've had water right up to the top, and the water didn't get through any part of them. They're a great boot. Yeah.

And I and Jake Gyllenhaal have the same pair of boots. Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal. Gake Gyllenhaal. It's a very confusing amount of soft and hard JNG sounds. Gake Gyllenhaal. Who looks better in them? Is that a serious question?

You judge. Because I've got a photo on my Instagram of me wearing the boots. Right, okay. You could do a side by side. Who wore it better? He's wearing his on the ocean, fishing. Mind you, he looks like he's fishing with a child-sized fishing rod. Yeah, it's a prop, isn't it?

I'm not trying to size shame his rod because I don't have one. So, you know, he's already beating me. But we've got the same boots. And you are so excited about this. Boot brothers. This is the invite I've been needing to join the Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Holland triangle of man love. Okay.

I'm the new Heath Ledger. I can fill that gap. Okay. I can fill that gap. Because I see the bromance that Spider-Man has with Mysterio and everything those two did and I want to be the third leg on the tripod. You know what I'm saying?

Okay. I want to be the other side of the triangle. I want to be the sin to their cause and tan. I can see how excited you are. I remember when I had a flip phone and it was in a movie. I think Tom Cruise used it in Mission Impossible and I was like,

I've got the same phone. I had the same phone as Batman in Batman Returns and Christian Bale the 2005 Batman amazing remember my sandals and Kendall Jenner

put up a picture of me and her having the same sandals yeah but yours were like from number one shoe warehouse oh shit they were from the same place because then the company posted them as well

and I was like yeah but you printed off that logo and like sewed it on that's what I would have done. Jake Gyllenhaal looks better in them. How rude!

How rude! But I was wondering if you've ever noticed that you have the same something as a celebrity. Because do you remember when Sean Astrid had the same drinking glasses as Sade and I? Because they literally went to Briscoes like you did.

And we literally probably went to the same Briscoes because we used to live so close to where they filmed Shortland Street. We probably got it at the same sale. But people would be like, these are nice glasses. I'd be like, yes, well, Shortland Street thought so. The set designers and the dresses of Shortland Street thought so. We're talking about when you've noticed you have the same something as a celebrity. My boots.

Jake Gyllenhaal's boots. I wonder who's got a bigger boot size. He's quite a tall sort of a dude. He might have a big girthy foot shoved in that boot. Hannah, when did you notice you had the same as a celebrity? My partner one night went out and spent a ridiculous amount of money on these fancy whiskey tumblers. Yeah. And we enjoyed them a lot.

And we were watching the Michael Jordan documentary. Yeah. And he was drinking his fancy tequila out of the same tumblers. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Are they those whiskey tumblers that Worth it. Worth it. Worth it. Are they those whiskey tumblers that are really heavy and fancy?

Yeah. And he, like, paused it and, like, made sure that it was the same design. It was very exciting. Yes. I bet you never hit the end of it now. Oh, no. He wants to buy more. Oh, wow.

Okay. That seems to be, like, kitchenware and stuff seems to be quite popular. Yeah. Thanks, Hannah. My wife and I noticed we have the same whiskey decanter that Tom Ellis uses on that show, Lucifer. Oh, okay. Thanks, Amazon. Oh, yeah.

And somebody else said, I was watching Jamie Oliver do this quarantine cooking he's doing. Have you seen this one on Saturday nights? No. It's good food. Yeah. It's good stuff. He's a good man.

It's good stuff. And someone said, I had the same cookware as him. I was like, hello, hello, I'm a little legend in the making. And somebody else said,

when I went to school, they had a segment on What Now? where they were giving away a backpack and I already had the backpack. And then everybody at school asked me if I won the backpack off What Now? I said yes, even though I did not.

Oh.
