The ZM Podcast Network. Clay. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and dine-in level 2. Well, this is a bit neat. It's the Super Vaccine Saturday. Super Sat. Super Sat, yeah.

Super Vac Sat. Air New Zealand have announced they are going to be doing Jabba Seat on Super Sat. Super Sat, yeah. Super Vax Sat. Air New Zealand have announced they are going to be doing Jabba Seat on Super Saturday. Jabba Seat sounds like grab a seat. Yeah, this is good from them. Cute, I like that. So the idea is this weekend, we want as many people to get vaccinated, either their second shot if it's been three weeks, or those people that you know that haven't been vaccinated who are waiting.

Maybe you yourself are listening and you're waiting this is the day to do it because the only way we're getting out of this now is by vaccination there's no going back we're not going to level four and also

let's not stop at 90 yeah let's get well above that that doesn't mean it's not going to affect us it's just the amount of people that are

I guess they're willing to die yeah basically when you put it like that. So this weekend, there'll be an old school telethon, lots of projects in Air New Zealand jumping on board. Yeah, jab a seat. If you haven't been vaccinated yet, you can go to Lawrence Stevens Drive and vaccines will be administered out of an Air New Zealand hangar. Now you go into the hangar, you go on board a 787,

which is a Dreamliner, which is a lovely aircraft, and you get to sit in the business seats as you get vaccinated so if you've never been in a plane's business premier cabin uh then you can sit there get the jab then you go into economy for a refreshment and you wait your 15 minute period of supervision and then you'll be ushered off and then i'm guessing you just go out the back door right? So you go in the front. That's so cool. So what a good way. Make a pretty good Vax selfie.

Yeah it would. Very good Vax selfie. You can't even take a photo in Auckland of anything even in economy flying anywhere at the moment. Yeah I know. So yeah awesome opportunity this weekend and loads of places. You're going to get your second one on Friday? Yep, moved it up a week

Tomorrow, straight after work Going to go get my second jab And I encourage everybody else to do the same Please and thank you So we can have Christmas Yeah, I want to go see my nan Thanks Rachel, good morning Welcome to the show, Fleach, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Megan.

Two minutes past six. Good morning. And William Shatner, the oldest man in space. Yeah, that's cool. Man, he got emotional, didn't he? He broke down and he described it in such a poetic way. It was like the blue of the sky is just so, like, I can't even remember how to describe it. But it's so thin.

Yeah, right. Yeah, he was really emotional when he got back to Earth. Because they were doing champagne showers and, like, cheering. And he was just standing there, like, having a moment. Yeah, because he's old as shit. He doesn't look 90, though. No. He looks 70.

And even just the way he talks, he was so, like, he's so with it. Oh, yes. Amazing. But still, like, whoosh, I'm going to push them into space. The last 10 minutes, you're going to be down, you'll be like, oh, God. Oh, God. Always in the back of my mind, like, when it starts with the fiery stuff at the beginning, I'll be like, are we going to blow up?

It's dangerous. Yeah. Are we going to blow up? The whole thing lasts 10 minutes. It's crazy. Yeah. Isn't that nuts? And God, that rocket looks like a dick.

It's so much like a dick. Big diddle energy, that one. It's a beauty. Hey, speaking of space, today on the show, we're pretty lucky. We would have been quite jazzed about this if we hadn't already ticked off the astronaut box. I'll take another astronaut. I talk to an astronaut every week. Aren't they great?

Chris Hadfield, who has done a couple of space missions. He was commander of the International Space Station. Great moustache. And he did the He played guitar in space. And did all those kind of Q&As and was a big star of the International

Space Station. He is also an author and his new book comes out, or it came out yesterday, The Apollo Murders. So we're going to chat to an astronaut today. 7.45, Chris Hadfield is on the show. If you're about to have your first coffee of the day, hold on a moment. Hold your horses there, champ, because... Are you going to

bring me one or something? I don't know if we've got all the ingredients. Actually, I'm going to go check the fridge because there's

a certain something that people add into their coffee. Oh, God. And it's in the fridge. You know who's nailed the coffee? Who?

If there's a country that's nailed the coffee? The Vietnamese. The Vietnamese. You know why? Condensed milk! Yeah, but they were ballsy enough to do it. And that's all it took.

They do the cold coffee as well with the sweetened condensed milk. They do nail coffee, even if you don't have sweetened condensed milk in it. Okay, so they're at it, but it's not sweetened condensed milk to the coffee. This one feels less Vietnamese and more American. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

Did you know Best Foods mayonnaise is called Hellmann's in other parts of the world? Why? And this is also Best Foods. This is a difference. This is in America, in different parts of America, it's called different things. Why? Hellmann's and Best Foods, the name differential dates back to 1913 when Richard Hellman began mass producing his New York famous deli mayonnaise.

In California, Post and Foods had introduced their own mayo as Best Foods Mayonnaise. They were bought under the same company in 1927 when Post and Foods bought the Hellman's brand. Both products still maintain their own recipes and brands. So even though they look exactly the same, it's still slightly different recipe. Yeah, right.

I don't believe that. But why isn't it called Hellman's in New Zealand? Is it a trademark thing? Don't know. Maybe, I don't know. We're closer to LA than we are to New York? Yeah. That's the only thing I can think of.

There's probably more to it, but I don't have time to investigate. Well, these fools, these fools, they sponsor comedy fest. They sponsor lots of comedy stuff in New Zealand. Well, they've been branching out into comedy of their own. They tweeted, mayo in your coffee.

That's it. That's the tweet. Mayo in your coffee. Someone said, I'm waiting for Moet to tweet, piss in your champagne. That's the tweet. That's champagne. That's the tweet. That's it.

That's the tweet. That's a good reply. Good reply. Someone said, I have both unfollowed you and reported you. And someone said, if this is so great, you would have started making coffee-flavored mayo years ago. In lieu of milk? In lieu of milk. Correct.

Really? Correct, Armando. Okay. Really? Correctamundo. So it's the... I don't even want to say dairy alternative because this is vegetable oils, water, egg, vinegar, salt, sugar, lemon juice. There's no dairy in it. Vegan friendly though.

No. It's got eggs. It's got eggs. Oh, yeah. Oh, you were being silly I was being silly You're a silly boy But eggy vinegary sitch

You know like there's not even any dairy or sugar I've had one But wait have people been trying Actually trying this Yeah And it's an Was it a thing before they tweeted I

I don't know I can see that And I've googled Reddit Okay so Reddit Said Someone said I don't know. I can see that. And I've Googled Reddit. Okay, so Reddit said, someone said, does anyone else put mayonnaise in their coffee? And somebody said, what the hell are you talking about? This was 10 years ago, this Reddit.

Oh, okay. It's the ultimate substitute for cream. Oh, no. Well, try it. And how much? Just until. Yeah, I don't know, a spoonful? You don't like a milky coffee Just until... Yeah, I don't know. A spoonful?

You don't like a milky coffee, though. No, I don't. But I love mayonnaise. I enjoy it anyway. I reckon you'd need a good dollop. That'd be a good dollop. You reckon like a heaped spoon? Like more than a teaspoon.

Don't make me stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Yeah, that's a good amount. That's a heaped teaspoon, and you said more than a heaped teaspoon. So I have now submerged it in the coffee. Oh, no. I reckon it's going to go like glob said more than a heat teaspoon. So I have now submerged it in the coffee. Oh. I'm getting – I reckon it's going to go like globby.

Well, stir it. I'm getting minimal – I'm describing the entire process. I'm not rushing this, baby. This is science. Do your own research. The little bits of the mayonnaise have started coming to the surface but not nearly like there's a lot stuck to the spoon at this stage.

Have you got any change in smell yet of the coffee? It's come off the spoon, but it's not yet completely. Oh my God, give it a harder stir. Is there any smell permeating? I was stirring a coffee the other day when we were playing Fortnite and Jared accused me of having a Milo because he said you're stirring it with the ferocity that people stir Milos. I said I don't know that a Milo stir was any different. Yeah, because those granules

take a bit to dissolve. Yeah. Oh my God, such a long stir. Okay, that sounds good. No, it's chunky. There's chunk. I'm not drinking that. I told you it'd be chunky. You need to give it more of a brisk. Wait, surely you haven't stirred it right. Keep stirring it. Oh, you're stirring it. I've been stirring. It's just what I said

is it's going to take a long stir you try and bring the spoon to the surface push it back down try that kind of stir oh my god now you're just being specific what about could you just get it what do you mean go up could you do a spill could you do just a teaspoon of it without the floaties no i feel just to give it a taste let me do a refloaty check is it it's going down in floaty numbers but it's going to take a while. Is it gone kind of milky looking? Yep. Oh, can you not see it? Nah.

Oh, okay. Yeah, it's gone. It's definitely gone. It's like there's milk in it but there are also mayo floaties. Oh, yuck. It's like you're

moving coffee with you know, you don't know the milk's gone bad and then you're pouring the coffee and it curdles and you're like Do you want a song to stir it

or do you just want to try it? You'll be able to have a sip there. I'm just going to try it now. No, stir it a bit more because I don't want to ruin it? You'll be able to have a sip there. I'm just going to try it now. No, stir it a bit more. Because I don't want to ruin it. I'm just going to use the spoon to push that stuff away from my mouth. Move the floaties. If you've just joined us,

this is mayonnaise and coffee. And you've just gone for a Macona instant. I mean, you haven't screwed your face up in disgust. It's like your face is waiting for your brain to kind of work out what that tastes like. Are you going to say it's good? Not horrible. What? If you like a milky coffee, you have milk in your coffee.

You take a sip from the other side of the cup because you don't want what I want. Okay, I don't want floaties. No. Not horrible. Oh, Vaughan, that's disgusting. That is disgusting. What are you talking about? That's what I remember Milky's office tasting like.

Oh, that is hideous. No. We can safely say that you should not put mayonnaise in the coffee. Oh, I didn't think it was too bad. You were the worst person to choose that out. It was like a savoury coffee. But then I like the bitterness. I like the black coffee. I were the worst person to taste that out. It was like a savoury coffee. But then I like, that's what I like. I like the bitterness. I like the black coffee.

I like the tang. No, I need something else in my mouth that'll take away that flavour. You like sweet coffee though because you'll do a mochaccino. I love a tang though. I love a sweet and sour tang. I think you weren't expecting it because of my reaction. You were expecting something different.

I feel like I need to make one. Yeah, no, get Megan. There's another side of the cup. Because I drink milk in my McKernan. If you go at quarter past on the cup. Just there? Yeah, we haven't touched that. I would have said that was six o'clock.

I would have had the handle at 12. Oh, right. It just literally tastes like mayo in my coffee. Not horrible. That's what I mean, not horrible. It is horrible. And you can smell mayo as you go for a sip. I'm not against it.

Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. So Bridgerton was Netflix's biggest debut. 82 million accounts watched Bridgerton in the first 28 days. Do you have what they class as a watch? Because I know sometimes it's only X amount of minutes and then they're like, yep, you watched it. No, I don't. That's the same as YouTube, right?

You only have to watch a part of it to count as a watch. But then one watch, that could be your whole flat. Or, you know, you and your boyfriend and your husband and your wife, girlfriend, whatever. Yeah, so that's 82 million accounts. And you've got to assume that most of the time there's more than one person. Like even just you and someone else.

So Squid Game has now become the biggest launch in Netflix's history with 111 million fans watching the show since September 17. Wow. Almost a month.

In the first month. Yeah. That's insane. 111 million fans. It's still number one on New Zealand's top 10. Yeah. When you, because I saw yesterday, it's still number one. Everyone's hitting it.

It'll be in the top 10 for weeks. Yeah. And I see they've teamed up, Netflix in America have teamed up with Walmart to sell all the merch. Ah, the merch would be good. So like just in time for like Halloween, you can be like a pink minion or you can get the track suits as well.

Well, are they doing like the gold faces of the... Oh, I don't know if they're doing those. Those are a bit bougie. Those are a bit, those are probably a bit too nice for Walmart. But it is... The coat that the front guy, the front man, bit too nice But it is The coat The front guy The front man

What does he call himself? The head honcho guy The guy with the black mask Yeah That looked like a nice coat The hose No not the hose It did look like a nice coat

Like a nice sort of a duster Like a nice Yeah Yeah I feel like Would I look okay in one of those coats? For formal occasions? Would you be wearing the mask as well?

Probably not. Very intimidating at a formal occasion. Yeah. I'm going to Google what kind of coat that was. But that is number one. That show is number one in 94 countries around the world. Wow. And like all of the stars of Squid Games,

all their Instagram accounts have gone crazy. Yeah. And they're all like posting videos and they're so cute because they're just like famous now. Because one of them had a baby and was like I can't believe that everyone around the world's congratulating me. It's so nice. Aww.

Don't worry, the internet will turn on you soon enough. That's what I thought. I didn't want to say it. Also, they've had to shut down in one of the episodes. Don't want to spoil anything for anyone that hasn't seen it. There's a bank account that is shown on screen. And people have been depositing money into that. A certain amount of money.

And they've had to shut it down. Wow. Why do people... I don't know. It's a TV show. Yeah. I don't... Okay.

If that was my bank account, I'd be like, don't shut that down. You don't dare shut that down. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Well, in Australia, Arnott's, the people that make shapes have come out to cause some controversy again, like they do every year, announcing their favourite

shapes flavour for the year. Now this is what, the most sold? Well, it's no, it's a survey that they do with Australians, which is a bit ridiculous ridiculous because you'd think they would know the exact stats of how many shapes they're making and of what flavour. Yeah. They would know how many...

No, but I don't buy shapes that often, but I know which one's my favourite. Do you know what I mean? But what are we doing? Are we doing the one people would pick if they bought shapes or what shapes sell the most? Yeah, also I feel like every year they change it up just to create some controversy.

Yeah, and then get people talking about shapes, get people wanting shapes. They know what they're doing. You are so cynical. Like, well, we know how it works, Megan. Last place, the least favourite flavour, nacho cheese. Oh, I liked that one. And then savoury.

I've never had the savoury. I don't really eat shapes. Savoury? There's too much doughy cracker. Yeah, it's dry. Me too. It's dry. You put three in your mouth and your mouth's just like...

Why are you putting three crackers in your mouth? Because one's not enough. Get all doughy and... I'd rather eat a bag of chips. Yeah, me too. Any day. Oh my God,, me too. Any day. Oh my God, I love chips. Get out of here.

Any day, no. So nacho cheese was the least favourite, then savoury, and that was then followed by cheese and bacon. What? Cheese and bacon is like the best. In third place, barbecue. Oh yeah, that's people too. Now we're talking.

And in second place, pizza, which means in Australia for 2021. You've already said all the best ones. Chicken crimpy shapes the most popular flavour. That's the driest cracker out of, that's like a real powdery one. I'm so disappointed in you. It's the oval one. It's the oval one. Yeah.

Yeah. Because it's called crimpy chicken because it's crimped around the outside, right? And it's just chicken. Yeah, it's the kid's oval one. It's the oval one. Yeah. Because it's called crimpy chicken because it's crimped around the outside, right? And it's just chicken. Yeah, it's the kid's favourite one. And sometimes you just feel like some shapes. And I tell you what, we bought some shapes when we thought the world was ending in April 20, in March 2020. 2020. Right.

It was that, wait, so you're like, oh my God, we're going to have to bunker down in our house. Let's live on shapes. What? No, let's get some snacks that are likely to last forever. And I thought snacks would last forever. So it was earlier this year. I would say maybe around about a year since they got put into the black plastic tub and put up in this high spot where we keep all of our doomsday prepper stuff,

like guns and ammo and more guns and more ammo. Your civil defense emergency kit. Yeah, yeah. They said get food. I said, well, if I've got guns, technically, like, civil defence emergency cap. Yeah, yeah. They said get food. I said, well, if I've got guns, technically, like, I can get food. Yeah. Oh, my God. Of people that got food.

So, but up there amongst the guns and ammo, there was a box of shapes. Yeah. And then we had no snacks in the house. And so I got out the stool and I climbed up there and I was like, snacks, these will have lasted. Yeah. Shapes, rather. These will have lasted. And I got down to open the bag and they'd like, snacks, these will have lasted. Yeah. Shapes rather. These will have lasted.

And I got down to open the bag and they'd gone like soft. Oh no. They do have a best before on them. What? So I got my gun and I went next door and I shot the neighbours and I took their food. Right. Okay. So I was right.

So it was an easier pill to swallow because I was right about the gun thing. But I didn't know that they went soft. Also, not the kind of jokes you should be making when you're applying for a firearms license. They love jokes about gums. In the 36 pages I have to fill out, nobody's going to say, did you make jokes about rubbing your neighbours for snacks? For shapes.

On the radio. No, I went to the neighbours that I knew would have chips. Right. Okay, yeah, right. I'd already been let down by shapes. Surprising. Surprising. Disappointing.

You know you can make an apple pie with Ritz crackers? Well, you wouldn't make it with pizza shapes. No, you wouldn't because they're too flavored. I was just trying to think what you could make with that is for the base, but you wouldn't make it with pizza shapes. No, you wouldn't because they're too flavoured. I was just trying to think what you could make with that is for the base, but you wouldn't. Right. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. What do you think are the traits

if you needed to go to a sperm bank? Women and men with fertility problems or people in same-sex relationships might need a sperm donor to have a family. What do you think would be the traits that are the most popular? I'm going to say something, and it's not my thoughts, but I think this would be it. Okay.

Tall and not ginger. No. Well, now I seem like a real asshole, don't I? But wasn't there a story? There was a story about there was a lack of redheaded sperm donors. And I remember reading in the article, it said, whilst it's definitely not our most preferred customer request, it is something that the odd person would ask for.

Have I upset? You've, well, you've upset. I know. I cited my reasoning, Executive Intern Anya. Just because you say, like, I'm just about to say something controversial that I don't agree with, doesn't make it less mean. No, but I cited my reasoning, Executive Intern Anya. Just because you say, like, I'm just about to say something controversial that I don't agree with doesn't make it less mean. No, but I cited it as saying the people in the sperm bank.

Because I remember they used Ed Sheeran and Prince Harry. That's right. Do you remember? I do remember that story. There was a story about it. It was like sperm bank short of redheaded sponsors, donors? Donors. Yeah.

And then it said, well, it's definitely not like one of them will prefer.? Donors? Donors. Yeah. And then it said, well, it's definitely not like one of them or more preferred. There are people who want it. But was tall not one of them? No. Because I would have thought it would have hit. Not the most.

What about education? There you go. Education is one of them. Education is much more of a nurture than a nature. I mean, there is a nature element to it, right? But I guess you have, like when it comes to your IQ, is that, like, something learned or is that something in your genes?

Like, if you're two smarties, are you going to have a dummy? It's like how every now and then you see two hotties and they have another. Yeah. Or two very average-looking people and they have this gorgeous baby and you're like, look at that. So I was trying to think if we needed a donor instead of like Andrew, what I would pick and I would have gone for like health.

You know, I guess they all have a, do they? Everyone have like a really straightforward health medical history when they're a sperm donor? I don't know. I don't know. So that's what I would have looked for first. Yeah, no like hereditary illnesses and stuff. Yeah, yeah. So the top two is clients are most interested in education.

Yeah. Whether they're smarty pantses and their age. So younger donors. Oh, because of the age, it starts to deteriorate. The sperm quality, right? Is that the vibe? It's like everything when you get older, you get out of your peak window of procreation.

So yeah, younger donors and those who hold up. Except for Barry Soper, who can still just get it done. We were all thinking it, right? We've been talking about this this week. Barry Soper's the journalist on the news. He goes like this. Wow, that's a matter of hell of a day. That's not his exact voice.

But he's going like this. Is it that or a bit more like that? I want to inject myself. And he's 70 and he's. Still works. And it still works. Amazing. His wife works on the afternoons in ZB.

Heather Dupussy Allen. And she's. Your age, right, Megan? Or just younger? Just a bit younger. And yeah, they're having a baby. So that dude is still working it. Yeah.

Now I want to know if my dad's capable. You know, I start questioning that. You think you should get a... He's almost the same age as Sade's dad. Yeah, right. And I just can't imagine that man dealing with a child. Exactly.

Vera. Is that what you call it child. Exactly. Vera. Is that what you call it? Yeah. Fatal. Soil. I think the words you're looking for are congratulations. It's great news. Congratulations.

ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Fire is hot. Your smoke alarm loves to look after you. When you look after them, they look after you. Well, every day this week, we are giving you the chance to be our fire warden and win some cash, $250. Now, Tamerson joins us. Good morning. Good morning.

All right. Now, this is how this works. If you're going to be our fire warden, you put on the fluoro fire warden jacket and you've got a smoke alarm in your flat right now, and your two flatmates are sleeping. Yeah. That's correct. Okay, so if you are able to wake them up with your smoke alarm

by pressing the test button, which you should do from time to time. Yeah, just make sure it still works. Check it's working. You win the cash. You win the cash, Tamsin. So when you're ready, go for it. Okay. I'm going to get're ready, go for it. Okay. I'm going to get in so much trouble for that.

It's all right. All right. Have you got it there? Yeah. Okay. That's a good one. It's a good one. It's loud. That's a good one. It's a good one. It's loud.

That is so loud. Has anybody got up yet? Yeah. Are they there? Still going. Jesus. Are they dead? Are they awake?

Are they there? Tam is awake? Are they there? Tam is in. I don't think she can turn it off. There we go. Do I need to keep holding it down? Are they hanging on out? Are they there? Oh, someone's coming down now.

Oh, they're coming down. There you go. Yay. You can tell them that it was all because. Sorry, what was that? No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Should we leave it?

I think we'll just leave it. Tell them about the money. Don't tell them about the money. That's your money. He was very disrespectful. You were trying to save him. Oh, my God. I'm just going to tune down that. We don't know. We don't know what about the money. That's your money. He was very disrespectful. You were trying to save him. Oh, my God. I'm just going to turn down that.

We don't know. We don't know what they're saying. We don't want to get an accidental swearing. Tim, is it $250 is all yours for being the Fleeche Warner Megan Fire Warden, and you can press your smoke alarms buttons to make sure they're ready to protect you. From the unsightly ZM think Tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Now, I've got to explain a few things to you because you're probably in the dark on this like me.

Pre-workout is something you take before you do a workout. It gives you a little extra jazz. I had one of these once. It almost gave me a heart attack. Don't do it. It's awful shit. You had a free sample. It's horrible.

And I took it for a run. No, you don't take it before you do cardio. And my brain was just like, help. And my eyes were like, we're out of here. And my heart was like, you're not leaving. And my lungs were just like, what are we doing again? And my legs were just like speaking Chinese. Like the whole thing.

Nothing was communicating. Yeah. So people do this stuff to give themselves a little extra go in the gym. I think you better just to have a shot of coffee, just a strong coffee. Yeah. It's got caffeine in it. And most of it's got caffeine in it, yeah. And also, if you're going to tell me you don't know what's in the vaccine, so you know I don't want to put it into your body and you do pre-workout,

I'm not taking you seriously. You need to reconsider it. I googled all the things in my pre-workout, I'm not taking you seriously. You need to reconsider it. I literally googled all the things in my pre-workout because I was like, actually, what is in it? After all the vaccine chat. So I looked into all the amino acids and everything. So it comes in powder form and you put it in water

and you stir it up and you drink it. Now people are doing what is called dry scoping and this is where you just eat teaspoons of it. Gob it straight away. That would be disgusting. It would be so strong. In order to maximise the effects of the amino acids and stuff,

but then... That's not a thing, is it? Shovel it up your arse if you want it in your system quicker. Don't do that. Do it. Let me know how it goes. Because I could be down for that if I'm going to dip my toe back into the dry... Pre-workout, it could be taking it as an enema. But then my toe back into the dry, into pre-workout.

It could be taking it as an enema. But then again, it's always easy to get something up your bum in liquid form. So what are you doing? Tapping your... The top six. Okay, that's right. I forgot about that.

The top six other powders not to dry scoop. Number six on the list. Raro. Oh, I did that as a kid. I know. And how often did you nearly choke to death on it Yeah Because that's the danger

Of dry scooping But professionals are saying When you pour it in It can go down your windpipe And getting this sort of stuff In your lungs Not recommended Yeah

But that's why you dip You lick your finger Dip it in the Raro Yeah And then go You're not getting enough Raro then No it lasts longer But then your finger's orange

And your mum knows You've been eating Raro. Whereas if it's the colour-free stuff that my mum had to get because she thought it was the colour that was making me a little hyperactive. You can get away with that. That's a victimless crime. Number five on the list of the top six other powders not to dry scoop are onion soup mix.

Yuck. That's best mixed with reduced cream. Or just not mixed at all. Yeah, Fletch isn't a fan. He's so very concerning. He's not a Kiwi. I know. Number four on the list of the top six other powders not to dry scoop,

talcum powder. That just shouldn't go in you. Well, even on you, according to the Johnson & Johnson. That huge lawsuit. Yeah. Maybe give that a wide berth. Maybe you like a dry tush. Hey, you know the risks.

Roll with it. Number three on the list of the top six other powders not to dry scoop. Cornflour. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's best just run between your fingers. Gives you that real silky feeling. Or make that goop that's like you tap it and it goes liquid and then you stop and it goes not liquid. Whatever that is.

Science. Okay. Number two on the list of the top six other powders not to dry scoop are icing sugar. Yeah. Don't dry scoop icing sugar. Just mainline that. Gets it in there way quicker. Love a bit of icing sugar.

Number one on the list of the top six other powders not to dry scoop, cocaine. That's best mixed with a little bit of yogurt. What? For the record, Vaughn? Vaughn is joking. Greek yoghurt. Yeah, okay. Nothing too sweet.

It'll take away from the delicate texture and taste of your pure Colombian marching powder. Okay. So something that's not too rich. Maybe if you're just starting out, maybe a strawberry, but don't go too far down that track. That is today's top six. ZM's Fleshborn and Megan. Play

ZM. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. It is season 10 of ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound and it is all thanks to Neon. Watch TV series and movies handpicked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon.

So, $15,000. We've had a few close. You can see the guesses that we've had as well that have been wrong on the Instagram, ZM's Secret Sound. Soundkeeper Owls is standing by, and we welcome Alicia. Good morning, Alicia. Yeah, hi, how are you? Good, good.

So have you been following Secret Sound from day one? I actually have, yeah. I've been one of those addicts that just keep coming back to you guys. Good, good, that's exactly. Like drug dealers, we love to see our repeat customers. All right, well, Alicia, this is a sound that you've no doubt been pouring over. Yes. And

$15,000 cash is all yours if you can tell us what it is. I think it's when you're changing your ink cartridge. Yeah, I do it all the time because my husband never changes it, so it kind of sounds quite similar. How much printing are you doing?

A lot. Can you not do it at work sounds quite similar. How much printing are you doing? A lot. Can you not do it at work like we do, Alicia, and then work pays for it? Oh, I wish other people could do it for me, then I wouldn't have to do it. Yeah, right. Soundkeeper Elsie, you have a home printer. I do. Yep. And I've tried to change it.

It is very niggly. I have done it, though. Okay. Yeah, it kind of works. It depends if the Wi-Fi is working. But you just said you've never done it. Well, I have, but it's just niggly. Oh.

Doesn't bode well, does it? No, I don't like your trousers there, Alicia. Hey, I still got one at home, though. It's possible. We'll there, Alicia. Hey, I still got one at home, though. It's possible. We'll see. Alicia. Yes. Have you been following the clues and everything?

I have. What have, what's the, buy now, use later. How is that going to relate to this? I was kind of also, well, I was looking at that because you always need ink at the time that you don't necessarily realise you need it. So you always buy stock up. But then also I've been following like the actual colours of the clues that you guys are online. And they are actually the all four colours of ink cartridges. I love that.

You're in deep. Yeah, you have gone in deep. I told you I'm in the attic. Yeah, also everyone in our marketing department who chose those lovely colours is like, how dare she? Well, maybe they need to sharpen up. Alicia, I'll tell you now though,

for $15,000, all you had to do was correctly guess the secret sound. And that isn't the secret sound, unfortunately. Oh, Alicia, it's not. But another chance coming up at 8 o'clock. That's another wrong guess that we can add to the Instagram, to the list. Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan. And while a thread on Reddit has gone viral,

under bounces of Reddit, somebody asked, hey guys, what's the craziest? Gotta admit that subreddit's hard to get into. You're not allowed in it if you're wearing white shoes. Yeah, I bet the hot girls get to go in first. Absolutely. So somebody asked,

hey, bounces of Reddit, what's the craziest kicked out of the bar or denied entry story? And then the floodgates just absolutely open. Oh, that'd have some story. And I didn't even know if I can read some of them out on air. Oh, really? They're that wild. Jeez Louise.

And this is why I thought, like, you know, as Kiwis, we love a bar and we love getting kicked out of them. I thought we've got to delve into this. Okay, so here's a couple that I can read. Okay. This is about how I had to boot a man and a woman, both middle-aged, out for having sex in the bathroom. Okay.

Yeah, very busy at the time as well. Another time, somebody had to break up two cocktail waitresses fighting over a table that ended up with one of them biting the other in the face. That's an employer issue. That's an employer. That's not a patron. Yes.

Good Lord. Yeah. And then just the wild stories about just all the shenanigans that go on in bars. Yay. I was like, we have got to delve into this wild world. Kiwis love a drink. Because there would also, and there's also stories of bouncers that

just for whatever reason were like, no, you're not coming out. You know like those famous bars in Germany? Or there's that famous nightclub in Germany called is it Berghain? I don't know. I've never been or even tried to get in. But you can wait for hours in this line and then for

whatever reason, the bouncer just says no or yes. And people are like, you've got to dress this way or you've got to dress that way and there's like all these like forums and websites on like how do you get in but there's no rhyme or reason to the bouncer letting you in and the bouncers become famous themselves um i've been refused entry many times i haven't been forcibly removed from a bar. Because of why? Like intoxication?

No, like you'd wait in the line and you'd get to the front and they'd be like, oh, you can't come in dressed like that. I'd be like, that girl's wearing jandals. Yeah, mate, those are the rules. I'd be like, I'm just asking for some clarification. Sir, can you hop out of the line, please? I'd be like, I just, hmm.

And they're like, well, I think judging by how lippy you are, you've had too much to drink? I'm like, I just They're like, well, I think judging by how lippy you are, you've had too much to drink. I'm like, actually hold on a minute. It was the shoes before. The girl's wearing jandals and she's fallen all over the place. Was the girl hot though? That's what I wanted him to admit. And you know what? He wouldn't admit it. And that's all I wanted. I would have been like

if he'd been like, look, she's hot. She's going to get people spending money. You look like you're paid in meat packs. I'd say, astute observation. I am currently paid in meat packs. From your Hamilton radio days. I never know. When I moved to Auckland, I never really did the clubbing thing.

I hated going out. So busy and loud. You still hate going out. I hate it more now than ever before. We've found the root of the problem. You're sick of getting rejected at the door. Yeah, maybe that's why you don't like going out. I hate it more now than ever before. We've found the root of the problem. You're sick of getting rejected at the door. Yeah, maybe that's why you don't like going out. You've got all these suppressed issues from when you were denied entry to the bar.

Do I need to see a therapist? You may, yeah. Okay. Sit down on the couch with a shrink and say, my bouncer didn't love me. Why didn't the bouncer let me in? I was wearing black shoes. Sure, they were etnies, but they were black.

So I want to take some calls now. 0800-DARLES-AT-M, and you can text as well, 9696. Why didn't you get into the club, or why did you get kicked out? And we'd also love to hear from bouncers that have been in that position of power. Because it's got to be fun, eh? Oh, standing up in the corner of the outback with your little LED pointing points. One of those laser pointers.

And one would have a green one and one would have a blue one and they'd be like, that guy's got to go. And then the other guy would be like, yeah. And if they had both colours flashing on them, that meant that they'd both agreed that that person needed to be removed. And then they'd triangulate them. Is that what they do with the... I always thought they were for the cats.

They're trying to lure out the bar cat. There's a little tabby in the corner and they're just chasing the light. Yeah, they've shown it on the drunk guy but attack that one, cat. Well, bouncers have read it. A thread has gone viral after bouncers were asked why they denied someone

or why they had to kick someone out of their bar. Wild stories. So we are delving into the world of New Zealand. Kickouts, bouncers, clubs. Some text messages in. Okay. Someone said, I was removed from a bar quite rudely because I noticed that the bar staff uniform was just black slacks and a polo. So I went and bought black slacks and a polo, and I just walked behind the bar and met myself drunk. Now, I've kind of got a commitment. I mean, that's illegal.

It's stealing, isn't it? Are you wearing a jacket in, right? And then when you get in, you take it off and you've got the polo. Yeah. And you're in there. How is jacket in, right? And then when you get in, you take it off and you've got the polo. Yeah. And you're in there. How is that working, though? Because if you're working at the bar and someone's randomly doing that besides you, you'd be like, you don't work here.

They're so busy, though. I'm new. I just think of us as a new guy, Steve. You just see black outfit and you're peripheral and you're like, it's all good. Yeah. Maybe once you're in there, you just get a name badge out of the thing. You're like, you're not Greg. And you're like, oh, no, but I have my badge and you've got to have a badge on.

Nick, why were you denied? I'm more than a team. More than a team. I was at a conference, dress-up conference. The theme was Kiwiana in Rotorua about five years ago. I was dressed as dills and dills. My good friend was big dills and I was little dills. And we looked awesome. We were at this conference. We were dominating. Everyone was like, oh, it's dills and I was little dills and we looked awesome

we were at this conference we were dominating you know everyone was like oh it's dills and dills what a dill I'm not following it in wait so

dills and dills from the block oh right I thought you'd gone as I don't know I don't know how to say this I thought you'd gone as dildos yeah

I was like what is so Kiwi about these two dildos? Okay, I'm glad we cleared that up, guys. I was so confused. I was like, great costume. Okay, and so they wouldn't let you in? So we'd like, you know, become stardom at this conference, you know. Everyone was like, dildos and dildos, you know.

We want to hang out with you. And we all went into town afterwards. And everyone, you know, we've got Kiwis and all sorts of things. Aotearoa, the land of the long way. They're all dressed up as everything going into this bar. And we get to the door

and the barman looked at us and said, Oh no, you're not allowed in a work boots. Oh. And you're like, we're big deals and little deals. Yeah. We're from the block. Hello. We're from the block.

Yeah. So here we are trying to argue. And then he let the next person in and they're dressed like a lobster. And they go, we're like, what the hell? Yeah, but were they a hot lobster? No. No. Not a hot lobster? I, no. Not a hot lobster. Wow, okay, well,

they really weren't loving the work boots, were they? Was this before or after Big Dills was convicted of headbutting his ex-boss who sacked him? Holy moly. I just Googled Dills to see what they look like

and that's the top story. Okay, Nick, thanks. You called some messages in. Yeah. The reasons why you've been kicked out of a bar or denied entry. We asked on the gram. Yeah, it's too late to tell us the deals and deals are on the block now. It's just sent through the block.

Or did you send that through before? Oh, no, it just came through for me. Some responses on Instagram. I arrived at 2 a.m. in my pajamas to rescue my friend who had messaged me saying they were in the toilets and they couldn't get out. They were a little intoxicated

and they weren't going to let me in. I was like, go check the bathroom. That's pretty bad. I'm not in my pyjamas for a laugh. And in the end, they let me in and were quite apologetic.

Imagine going into the club in your PJs. I know. Even to rescue your friends. Oh, why not? Are you in your PJs? What? God, I bet you'd get home

and your slippers would have a layer of Miduri on them. It would be sticky. Miduri, Zambuca and a little bit of Vom Vom. And the wedges. Always the loaded wedges.

Someone's always getting a plate of them loaded wedges. Star cream. Yeah. I got kicked out because I didn't look like my ID.

It wasn't a fake. It was my actual driver's license. The bouncer thought my mate was drunk. Actually, they're just sober, awkward and very clumsy. So when they were accused of being drunk, they couldn't even get a sentence out to explain that they weren't.

The bouncer, I had my birth certificate on my phone. I was pointing at it saying, look, it's me. But a birth certificate doesn't have a photo. And plus, you would look nothing like you. Oh, yeah. And in the end, it worked. The bouncer wasn't having any of it. But in the end, it did actually

work. So, I got in. Alright. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. So, we're joined on Zoom by Colonel Chris Hadfield. We're about to see you. This is an exciting looking background. I'm on the Elevate stage.

It's a big social awareness thing that I'm on the founding board of and I'm giving a talk here tomorrow, but today I'm just getting set up to do a practice run through. So the timing is perfect. It's nice to join the three of you. Where are you today?

We're in New Zealand in our studio. New Zealand's a are you today? We're in New Zealand in our studio. New Zealand's a long, skinny country. We're in New Zealand. We get that a lot. Thank you. The top bit where it gets really skinny, we're in an isthmus called Auckland. So the biggest city, two harbours.

It's the skinny bit before the top bit. Yeah, pretty ripped up topography. I've been there and taken pictures of it from space. You're not all the way up to White Island. You're down at Auckland. Yeah. I'm in Toronto. Right, Toronto.

Well, miles away. But you're used to being miles away. You've spent time in space. As you say, you've seen our beautiful country from space. I have. I've been over it thousands of times. You get right down to the south. It's unbelievably beautiful. The deep

fjords and the blue and the glaciers, it's just, or glaciers. I mean, it is flat, gorgeous. Just a beautiful, and my wife and I have driven from fairly way down south all the way up and then gone into Auckland as well. So we've seen a little bit of both islands. We're not experts at all, but it's a beautiful part of the world. What is it? Do you get any expectation? What did you do first, see it from space or drive a car up it? I first saw it from space.

My first space flight was quite a while ago. So, yeah, I've been over it. And at one point I was outside on a spacewalk and it was in the darkness and we went through the southern lights while I was out on a spacewalk. They were rippling around the ship and pouring between my legs. And then we came just south of Tasmania and started cutting up across there.

And then the sun was rising just as we cut up and across New Zealand. Wow. Oh my God. I've got goosebumps. I've got goosebumps. That's so cool. You would love the experience.

It's just so incredibly beautiful. Wow. See, I see a place on Instagram and I think, I want a holiday there, but you see it from space and think, we'll go there next. Yeah, I've seen the whole world that way and there's parts of New Zealand, some of the wine country that I haven't been to yet that I would love to get to. So you fly over

a place like New Zealand and then you can go there and we see, we get really excited when we get the international space station photos of New Zealand. But I was just thinking, what does Antarctica look like when you fly over Antarctica? Do you get to see anything or is it sort of shrouded? We don't get that far south. If you picture the Earth had a hula hoop around it but tipped about 52 degrees, so a little over halfway, that's how far north and how far south we go. But we don't go all the way to the poles. So I could see Antarctica just that

long. I forget the name of the long spit that sticks the furthest north. I could just see the very edge of that. But the curve of the earth was too much for me to see all the way around to Antarctica. Wow. And you've seen the curve of the earth. I loved on your Instagram a little while ago, you put up saying anybody who is, how did you put it, in doubt of the shape of the Earth? Here's the spring sun. Who's confused about the shape of the Earth. That's it.

Who's confused about the shape of the Earth. Wow. And so now you're back on Earth and you're writing books, a lot of which have had sort of a space element. You're doing kids' books, and now you've got the Apollo murders. The Apollo murders is doing fabulously well. I just can't believe it.

Some people who should know better have been endorsing it, like James Cameron and Andy Weir and Frederick Forsyth and Publishers Weekly and all kinds of folks. And it will be an Amazon bestseller within the first day of putting it on the market. And it's in 12 languages already. So I'm – oh, they've got the lights on. Very nice. So I'm really excited about this book. It was a huge amount of work and a real, like today's launch, you know, launch for an astronaut is a cool thing, but it's

pretty, I've never written thriller fiction before, but I'm just so happy with how it came out. And, and, and what, And I'm picturing people all around the world today, like holding my book in their hands or listening to the audible of it. It's really kind of cool and exciting. I'm really happy. What would you do if someone approached you and were like, this is a great idea for a movie? How would they make you feel? We've already had a lot of movie houses come and say they like the Apollo murders and they want to make it into a movie. But the last thing that I want is a crappy space movie with my name on it.

If we're going to make a space movie, then I need one that is, you know, that I can be proud of. So I'm not in any great hurry to make a movie. I just wrote a book. I'm not in a hurry to make a movie now. What is your favorite space movie? We've had literally hundreds of movies set in space. 2001, A Space Odyssey. That's my favorite movie. And then of the more recent movies, I think Apollo

13 with Ron Howard. He made that. Tom Hanks. I think that's the best. But really, actually, my favorite space movie is Galaxy Quest. Galaxy Quest is just, I love it. It's like the best Star Trek movie ever. So that's like a big range of your types of space movie, the take-up, the very serious, the historical, sort of the fantasy of 2001. So where does the Apollo murders,

you said it's kind of sci-fi fiction? Apollo murders is an action thriller, a technical action thriller. So, you know, it's more like a Bourne supremacy kind of thing or Hunt for Red October or, you know, one of those really complex, eerie technical thrillers.

Maybe like the Hunt for Red October. It's probably got that sort of feel to it. Wow. Submarines and spice. Yeah. Yeah. Except you're weightless and and you know surface of the moon but about 95 of the stuff in the book is all real it like it's it's almost a completely real book i just wed weave the the plot in there and over half of the characters in the book are real people so it made it really fun to write i love their

the research and the and the background on it and and the result that we have now uh the book are real people so it made it really fun to write i love their the research and the and the background on it and and the result that we have now uh the book is the apollo murders not yet a movie but if it is a movie it will be a high quality one that sticks to uh physics as they stand it's important to make to make the physics true anyway and james cameron loves the book so uh well we might be seeing you in new Zealand then because he lives in New Zealand now and that's where he makes his movies. No, I've been talking to him. He missed his mom's 90th birthday

because he was in New Zealand. But anyway, nice to talk with the three of you and I hope you enjoy reading the book. Awesome. Thank you so much, Chris Hadfield. Take care. Bye-bye. ZDM Splits, Ron and Megan.

Ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho, ho. Yes. 71 days, 16 hours and 10 minutes until Christmas.

Mm, mm, mm. Mm, mm, mm. Aha! I mean, I'd welcome a bit of festivity into my life right now. Doesn't seem to be much around. Ho, ho, ho.

Oh, thank you. That's my glass topped up. That was lovely to be much around. Ho, ho, ho. Oh, thank you. That's my glass topped up. That was lovely. That was lovely. Oh, actually, we can go to the producer's booth for a little bit of festive cheer as well. Oh, okay.

It's just messaged. Hello. Hello. What have you done that's festive? Made my first ever personal Christmas purchase for my house. I bought baubles last night.

Oh! Where from? Kmart. Do you online? Yes. I was buying a $12 pot and naturally I had to then spend more than $65 to get free shipping. That's not even close!

Don't laugh, that's literally our life. No, I've hacked the system. Don't laugh. That's literally our life. You're going to go clicking the link for free. No, I've hacked the system. Yeah, don't worry about it. You've hacked the system by spending more money. Yeah. I haven't heard such great economics since the person told me to buy one of those entertainment books to save money.

I was like, you've got to spend money to buy the book and then you've got to spend money to save the money. No, but that's tangible goods. Thank you. Shipping is not tangible goods. Thank you. I don't want to pay for shipping. Oh my god. I hear you. Wow. With you. Okay, so she's purchased some baubles. What colour scheme have you gone with?

Don't say all mixed. No, no, no. It's like a bronze, like a warm gold. It was under the Christmas chic section on the Kmart website. Who knew that Kmart had Christmas chic? No, no, no, no. It's like a bronze, like a warm gold. It was under the Christmas chic section on the Kmart website. Who knew that Kmart had Christmas chucks? Kmart and chic go together, don't they? I'm going.

It's chic spelt with a K on the end. It's Christmas chuck at Kmart. Yeah. It's Christmas chuck. So classy with a K. Kylie actually sent me a message on Instagram, a screencap that I've just been scrolling through. The Hub Hornby Farmers, and they've got the Santa bears out.

Is that our first report of Santa bears, ladies and gentlemen? I think it is. I believe so. There is a Christmas chic. On Kmart? Yeah. Good. Good lord. Jesus.

Would you describe it as chic, what you're seeing, Carl? That face doesn't tell me chic. Yeah, no, it's chic. Okay, chic as. Chuck, it's Christmas Chuck. It's Christmas Chuck. Christmas themed face masks. Nothing says Christmas in the modern age like Christmas themed face masks.

I think that looks like a Grab One special. Yeah, right. Looks like someone got that in the old Grab One email. I wonder if they'll be using Christmas-themed nasopharyngeal swabs. What? What did you just say? Are you okay? Nasopharyngeal, I don't know.

What does Ashley Bloomfield always say? I just want to see the long swab they got. Your schnoz were. Yeah. No, Ashley Bloomfield always calls them nas just want to see the long swab they got your schnoz with. Yeah. No, Ashley Bloomfield always calls them nascent. No, but he's a doctor. Let her. He's real fancy.

You're a pleb. Well, I'd just like to see, you know, they could do like candy cane ones. Yes. With a swab at the end. Yeah, maybe even got a minty scent to it. So when, you know, the dry swab's getting right up into your brain, you can smell a bit of mint. Robyn's messaged in from Karori New World said Christmas mince pies are out in force. Yeah, we've had a few pie reports.

That's what I need, actually. The posh New World by our place are probably doing Christmas mince pie. I like that one. Megan can't deal with the car park. She said it's too tight. No, it's just obnoxious drivers and bloody Range Rovers everywhere trying to run you off the road. Yeah.

Well, they deserve to. They're in Range Rovers. Sorry, you can't come in here in your Sanyo. I'm going to expect to own as much road as a fine piece of British engineering. Posh and obnoxious people with little, like, what do you call it? Lifestyle blocks. Yeah, that's why Vaughan loves it. They're posh and obnoxious.

Yeah. Christmas penetration has been spotted at Kmart. This comes from Tash. She said Santa's shaped biscuits. Now, are they in the shake section? The shake. The Christmas shake? Pack and Save's Christmas shake section.

Yeah, okay. Yeah. They call it Shake and Save. Ashley's messaged in saying Christmas displays before Halloween. They said they were looking for Halloween candy. Couldn't find any, but they had absolutely no shortage of

Christmas candy displays. Okay. This one, I feel... All my Christmases are getting smashed into one. Have we had reports of the Maltesers reindeer yet? No, I don't believe. Not this Christmas.

No. Countdown Miles Gill. That's from Giselle. Thanks, Giselle. Giselle. Giselle. Giselle. Giselle.

Christmas Penetration in Napier. Feel very blessed to be able to actually go in shop to Kmart. Two rows of decorations and a very confused toddler who wants to know where Santa is. Too soon. Yeah. Too soon. They will ham out soon. That fits right into the Christmas chic.

Although I feel Santa this year is going to have to be in a plastic bubble. In a dome or something. No kissing Santa on the lips this year. No. Are we even going to be able to take people to see Santa? I don't think it's going to be in Northland. Not in Auckland. No.

Might attend Papunui in Christchurch. Crazy. So many Christmas decorations out already. We've got the trees. We've got the inflatables. We've got the lights. It's all really a go. And from Dan, he said, I came across this 1997 Santa picture of Fletch and Vaughn meeting Santa.

And he photoshopped us. He photoshopped our faces onto that. Why am I ripping the fingers? Look, how happy you are to be ripping the fingers. It's that really famous photo of those toddlers, those twin girls sitting on Santa's knees. That's so good. And you're ripping the fingers. It's that really famous one of those toddlers, those twin girls sitting on Santa's knees. That's so good. And you're ripping the fingers.

Thanks, Dan. So 71 days away from Christmas. And with all that in mind... Mrs. Claus, my coat and hat, please. Christmas penetration is at... 45%. Ooh! Ooh!

I mean, it might not be that bottle. No, you're right. You did right.

Okay, let's have a listen. Let's have a listen, Ethan. I thought it was empty, Ethan. I've sprayed it right on my crotch. Can you do it a bit slower? You really smashed that. No, but that's why I was trying to replicate that. Okay. All right.

It would be, yeah, but when the mic's up close. It could be a different one because I see what you mean. It's like the spring. Yeah, maybe it was amplified, eh? Yeah, when it's amplified. Have you been trying this, Ethan, at your house? Nah. I thought I'd have a crack.

I just like casually called up and got through. I love it. I love it. People are so into this. They've been trying for like days. And you're like, I'll just give this a go today. Yeah, it's taking people off. That is hilarious, Ethan. The manual hand sanitizer.

full secret sound will also give you chances at 1 o'clock 4 and 5 and all the wrong guesses all the clues that we've had, ZM Secret Sound on Instagram to catch up. Next on the show, this was absolutely mind-blowing. It was after the show yesterday. Heck, nearly two years after he started working here,

we've learned something new about producer Jared. Splendid. And it's not okay. We need to fix this. Yeah, we're going to fix it. Help him out. Evenid. And it's not okay. We need to fix this. Yeah, we're going to fix it. Help him out. Even though he said it's not broken. CDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan.

Yesterday, after the show, what were we doing? We were speaking to each other in stern voices. And using everybody's middle name. I don't know why. That's right. Vaughn Alan Smith. Kyle Peter Fletcher. Megan Louise Sellers.

Papadopoulos. Knee Sellers. I don't know. I'm forgetting your marriage. I think you were in my phone for ages as Sellers. You might still be in my phone as Slowdown. Even through your first marriage. You just...

And then I think I've changed it. Is it still Sellers? Yeah. And your email address is still meganattheedge.co.nz on my phone. It goes to a new Megan now, yeah. Might flick her an email. See how she's doing. Hey, buddy.

So we were talking to each other using each other's middle names and Jared, producer Jared, bombshell, no middle name. And I know there are people out there with middle names. My dad never had a middle name. Really? No, and I don't know. I think I just thought it was an old person's thing. No, my dad's got Frederick.

It adds to your identity. Like, you're just a Jared Pickstop. Okay. It needs a middle bit. So, what, you just, what, have you ever had a reason given why you don't have a middle name? Mum said, like, why would you need one? That was always her answer.

For when she's angry with you. Yeah, yeah. And, like, when I'm filling out a form, it's just less stuff to write. Do you ever find when you're filling out forms or someone's entering you in the database, they're like, have a problem with you not having a middle name? Not a problem, but they're like, oh, okay. What was your mum's dad's name?

Franciscus. What? Franciscus. Franciscus. Yeah. Not Frank. Franciscus. Not Francisco. Franciscus. Franciscus Yeah, not Frank, Franciscus Not Francisco

Franciscus Jared Franciscus What? Wow, okay We were going to take calls but I think we've already got our answer What a great middle name Franciscus Yeah, Nans is Dot

That's because Grandad stole all the letters. There wasn't enough to go around for everybody. But yeah, it goes. My thoughts are, if we're going to find your middle name, I was thinking one syllable, and you've got Franciscus. Is that three or four syllables? Franciscus. It's been terrible at counting syllables.

But like Jared. Yeah. Jared rolls, because it's the J And the R The Jared Like it's a You can imagine It's rolling hills And then pick stock

Is real like Ta ta Like ra ra Ta ta Ra ra Ta ta So what are you feeling For the middle bit

You want it to go Ra ra Ra ra Ta ta One syllable Like a one syllable name That's why I like Sam Ra ra Ta ta Jared Sam pick stock Nah it can't be Sam Ta-ta. One syllable. Like a one syllable name. That's why I like Sam.

Ra-ra-ta-ta. Jared Sam Pickstock. No, it can't be Sam. One of my mates is called Sam. Okay, it can't be Sam. But yeah, maybe. It can't be John because then you can't have like J-J. Right. J-J-P is cool initials and that's the other thing you've got to think about,

how the initials are going to stack up. Yeah. But like Franciscus, it needs to be something like Zsuzsi. Yeah, I like a multiple syllable middle name. Sounds great. Okay, it does. I wasn't thinking like that, but like, so rah, rah, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, backstop.

Like, yeah, there's a whole rhythm. It's not a song, Vaughn. No, rhythmically it's got to flow. You'll say five syllables for the middle one. I'm three, tss-tss-tss, Vaughn Allen Smith. Vaughn Allen Smith. Tss-tss-tss-tss. Like, you've got to imagine. I'm a double beat in the middle, actually. I'm a I'm three. Vaughn Alan Smith. Like you've got to imagine. I'm a double beat in the middle actually.

I'm a double kick there. Vaughn Alan. You're learning syllables this morning. It's good. You've got to imagine the movie guy voicing your name in a movie trailer. Don't you? I would just go Vaughn Smith for a movie trailer. Okay, right.

Technically my last name, if you did the whole thing, could be like five syllables. Vegan. So you're like... Now, I don't know in the heat of the moment yesterday, but I'm pretty sure Jared agreed to change this legally by a depot if we pay for it. Did you not agree to that?

I don't think I officially agreed to it. It still doesn't have to go on any forms if you're... Oh God, I'll pay for you to get a new license with your middle name if we find you a cool one. Yeah, what if we ask your mum and you're a... Oh, God, I'll pay for you to get a new license with your middle name if we find you a cool one. Yeah, what if we ask your mum and she's like, yeah, actually, I like that? I just can't believe she had Franciscus knocking at the door.

I know, and didn't use it. I'm named after my mum's... My middle name is my mum's dad's. Yeah. And, yeah, it's just an easy one. You chuck a dad in there somewhere, don't you? My mum's dad was Athol, though. It's a bit like...

Athol. Athol. Bastion Athol. Athol? Yeah. That sounds cool. Bastion Athol. What's an Athol?

You're thinking of an atoll. He's not a coral atoll, mate. He's not a place with a French test of nuclear weapons in the 80s. Weird. All right. Well, we would like to this morning now open up the phone lines, annual text suggestions on 0800 dials at M 9696 to text, what

should producer Jared's middle name be? And then from this day on, we will call him that. Unofficially, because he doesn't want to change it. Someone said oh my god I feel so for it. They're an adult, they've got no middle name, and right up until right now

They believed when their dad said That you paid per name When you were naming your kid And they didn't want to pay for a middle name That's the greatest dad joke of all time It's a long one It's not true though I'm really sorry to break this to you

No it's not true You don't pay for extra names You don't pay extra You don't get one name free And then pay for any more Alright well Hit us with your middle name suggestions. Jared something pick stock.

No, don't be silly. No, be silly. No, be silly. I think we should put this to a listener vote as well. Maybe we should get like a top five or top ten and then do some votes. So maybe this might be a couple of days. Someone's middle name's Keith. And they just lie about not having one because their middle name's Keith.

Jared Keith. Someone said middle name Leto. That's what I said yesterday. Jared Leto. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Producer Jared doesn't have a middle name. We found this out yesterday to our absolute shock. Yeah.

Absolute shock. So we are taking it upon ourselves now To find Jared a middle name And we are taking your suggestions On the text machine 9696 Or 0800 1000 M Someone said

Hearing from lots of people who don't have middle names It's a good club to be in Is it a South African thing? No The only other people I know who don't have middle names are South African, but that's my mum and my sister. Does your friend Ursula Carlson have a middle name? Yeah, she said it yesterday.

It sounded like she was making up words. I laugh. Then she said, don't laugh. And then when she says don't laugh, you don't laugh. You don't laugh, right. Sometimes, yeah, South African names just sound like an honour manapaya. I can say that. I'm married.

I'm married one. I can't, technically. I'll be cancelled today. I think you're cancelled, yeah. Emma, good morning. Do you have a name suggestion for producer Jared? A middle name. Morning.

I was thinking Reagan or Roland, something with R so you can call him Junior. Oh, J-R. J-R-P. J-R-P, yeah, Junior. Roland. I quite like Roland. Jared Roland. Pick stock.

Roland. Roly. Like Roland Shit of Shits Creek. Yeah. That's what that guy's name was, eh? Roland. Roly. Roly.

It's a good nickname. Okay, Emma. Jared is all right. Yeah, no, not bad. Thank you. I'll add that to the list. Quite a few people saying James. Sherry James.

JJ Pickstock. Is that because they want us to have another producer, James? Maybe. I just thought about that as I said it out loud. But I think it's got a sort of superhero vibe to it, right? Danger. I really like that. Danger.

Preston. JPD. JPP, that would Danger. Preston. JPD. JPP, that would be. JPP. JPP. Yeah, you know me. Please don't do that again. My name is, my middle name is Zachariah.

It goes well with anything and can be shortened to Zach. Zachariah Jarrod. On less formal occasions. Zachariah. Jared Zachariah Pickstock. Rachel, any suggestions for producer Jared's middle name? I think it should be something super fancy like Ethelred. Ethelred.

You won't find two of those two a dozen. Is that an actual name or are you making up a name? No, it's absolutely a name, yeah. It's just a super old like, North name or something like that. Yeah, Ethelred the Unready was a king of England from 1978 to 1013. Also sounds like a Game of Thrones character, doesn't it? Yeah. Bit of fantasy.

There you go. Yeah, bit of fantasy. Oh, he likes that, Rachel. Thank you. More, more, so many name suggestions. Do you get to make up your name when you play D&D? Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, you can be like Ethelred. I your name when you play D&D? Yeah.

Yeah, you can be like Ethelred. I'm hoping one of my D&D character names comes up. It won't, though. I don't think. I'm just someone who feels too much disappointment. Do you know what it is, Vaughn? No, because he's Dungeon Master for us. Oh, right. Jared, Dungeon Master pick stock.

I'm sorry, Fleech. I don't know. Oh, my God. I dabbled in the nerd and I couldn't get out.leech. I didn't know. Oh, my God. I dabbled in the nerd and I couldn't get it out. I know. I don't know what to do either. I was deep in the nerd there as well.

Mitchell, good morning. Hello. What, you've got a name suggestion? A middle name? Gavin. Gavin? No one's called Gavin anymore. You know, this is my baby, Gavin.

Mitchell Gavin. Yeah, that's Mitchell's middle name. Mitchell's middle name. Yeah, no, but I'm saying anymore, you don't need a baby Gavin, do you? No, no, no. Yeah, but producer Jared isn't a baby. He's a fully grown man like Mitchell.

Yeah, but we're getting the chance to name him in the modern environment. We're not going to stuff this up by giving him a name. Yeah, right. Jared Gavin Pickstock. And I get called JP a lot, so I'd want the initials to sound cool too. Yeah, someone said they haven't settled on it,

but maybe something that starts with D because JDP sounds good. It almost sounds like GDP, which is the gross domestic product. Yeah. And every time it was on the news, you'd get excited because you think they're saying your name.

Yeah, but they're not. What about Dylan? Jared Dylan. Charles, do you have a suggestion for producer Jared's middle name? Yeah, I do. So my middle name is Gerald. So I'm thinking he could just take my, you know, my first name and it can be Gerald Charles.

Jared Charles. Oh, yes. Jared was just saying once as a gift, someone bought him a lordship online. So he's Lord Jared Charles Pickstock. Charles is a very regal sounding name. It's actually very posh, you know? Yeah, you're not wrong. It does sound very posh.

Don't call me Charlie, though. Only Charlie. Oh, yeah, no, no Charlie. Charles, thanks. You're cool. Dean, suggestion for the middle name? Yeah, my middle name is Norris. Norris? Yeah, my dad name is Norris. Norris?

Yeah, my dad was a fan of Chuck Norris. Are you kidding me? Well, we've got Charles. That's what Chuck's short for. He could be Jared Charles Norris Pickstall. What a real shame Chuck Norris turned into a real extreme right-wing arsehole. Yeah, crazy.

He actually named you Norris after Chuck Norris. Wow, that is insane. Yeah, and I'll bet. And growing up, I've actually developed quite an impressive beard and I'm actually into martial arts as well. Oh! Must be the middle name. Wow, so you think that if Jared got this middle name,

he might develop some martial arts skills. Yeah, yeah, totally. Oh, my God, he could take you on on one of those pay-per-view fights, Dean, next year. This is a great idea. All right. No, no, no, we're not doing it yet. It's not hurting.

It's not going to hurt. It's not going to hurt. No. Or maybe Dungeons and Dragons or whatever you call it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, thanks, Dean. Someone said because your last name sounds like Pit Stop,

your middle name should be Penelope. Jared Penelope Pitstop. Stop. That's it. That's the one. I'm calling you that. Penny for short. Penny.

Penelope Pitstop. Yes, Jared Penelope Pitstop. Done. We don't need any more calls or text messages. So good. That's it, isn't it? Yes. Thanks, Penny. Thanks, Penny.

Cheers, Penny. Jared Penelope Pickstock. Producer Penny. I don't even know what to say. Producer Penny Pipstock. Pickstock. Pickstock. Cheers, now I'm lost in it.

Now forever known as Producer... Penelope what? Oh, just Penny Pickstock. Penny Pickstock. Yeah. Next on the show, fact of the day. Well, that was very constructive, I'd say. We did a great job.

ZDM's Fletch, Ronan Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, this came to me. Kelly. Kelly messaged me on Instagram saying, Hey there, I wondered if this might make an interesting fact of the day. I've just been watching Splash with my daughter. The movie about the mermaid. Correct.

Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah. It's from the 80s. And Tom Hanks' character is trying to quickly get a blood test for him and Daryl Hannah so they can get married. Okay. I've Googled it, and apparently in the States, you needed to get a blood test before you could get legally married. What?

And so I've done some further investigation. Now, granted, not super in depth, but I can't find anywhere that it says New Zealand ever acquired a blood test before getting married. Right. This seems to be a United States heavy issue. Why though? What are they looking for in there?

Syphilis. What? Okay. Syphilis, Megan. And if either of you tested positive for syphilis, your marriage certificate was not granted. Really? Because of course people do not have sex before they get married.

That was the idea of it. This is how archaic and crazy it is. But what about their freedoms? Well, who knows? So it happened in a lot of places around America. There were 28 states that required it in 19... Oh no, 34. In 1980, 34 states required a blood test for syphilis

before a couple could be granted a marriage certificate to be legally married. And in 2016, only the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., like where the head of their government is, and Montana mandated a premarital blood test. And in Montana, it's only for women. Oh, of course it is.

Of course it is. How wild is this? Because the guy didn't like it, so he changed the law to suit himself. Yeah. Yeah, basically. He's like, Oh, of course it is. Oh, of course it is. How wild is this? Because the guy didn't like it, so he changed the law to suit himself. Yeah. Yeah, basically. He's like, well, I'm riddled. Check her.

Yeah. So it started after World War II in America. Apparently that whole baby boom, free love, people getting out there and being like, well, heck, there could be another war and we could all die like our friends just did in theatres of war. Let's have some

fun times. Led to an increase in STIs. And everybody was of this belief that if you had an STI, you shouldn't be allowed to be married because you could give it to your partner. Or the idea was, you're going to be getting married. Of course, you'll be having a baby straight away and we can't

have it being passed on to the babies, to the unborn fetuses. Was there no treatment? So there was, but a lot of people wouldn't get it because of the shame attached to it. Right. The shame like going to get married and having a blood test before you could be allowed to be married.

You wouldn't be... That's crazy. Granted your marriage certificate. Wow. So yeah, in some places it was still happening in the 80s and that's why it was happening in this movie that was set in the 80s. Yeah. It ended in a lot of places,

but for most states in America ran for over 45 years. So today's fact of the day is that in America, you used to need a blood test to prove that you didn't have any STIs before you could get married. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- contestants. Love Island eliminated non-loving singleton or something. She left an island and her name is Angela Bloomfield. Good morning. Good morning.

So you left the island months ago but now you have to relive it all. Yes, I know. I would say to people actually it's easier to do the show and it's not easy to do the show than watch it back. It's do the show, than watch it back. It's so hard watching it back.

I bet, I bet. Because in the moment, do you realise that perhaps you're hungry, tired, slightly hypersensitive or hyperdramatic in the situation? Oh, well, yeah, there's always that. It's got to be dramatic, right? Otherwise, what's the point?

But I think it's this weird thing, and it happened on Shorty's Food as well. Like, when you're doing something emotional and you watch yourself doing it, it's like all these just, all the feelings come rushing to you, and it's like, ooh, I feel awful. This is really hard to watch.

But the last sort of, like, couple of days have been heaps more pleasurable and easy to watch because I think I was just happy and chill with whatever happened and we were winning but yeah, it's this weird thing about living something and then watching yourself kind of relive it and you go, why am I doing this? This seems really crazy.

Was there anything you learned about yourself watching yourself back? Oh yes, a lot, you know. Say things with a smile on your face, it'll help. Yeah, I think, look, I kind of knew I was a keen participator, but I didn't realise I was that kind of keen and that kind of in it. You know, I remember when I was there going, just have a day where you take a back seat. And then, you know, just try and get out of the,

not the firing line, just try and get out of the focus. And then, you know, Matt O'Brie would be like, okay, today we're doing this. And I'm like, I can do this. I can help. I can do this. And I don't know, I just have this inability to take your back seat.

But then I think, Ange and that's clearly who you are. Just own it and enjoy yourself. Do you know what happens after you leave? No idea. I didn't even know like watching the end of the show last night, I was like, I knew it was going to be Dad, but like

I was like, holy moly. No, I have no knowledge at all. Everyone was quite good about not sharing stuff. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were told not to do it. And, I mean, we were told not to hang out with each other either, but I think people did that.

But, yeah, I literally have, I mean, I might have an inkling of when a couple of people are coming home just because they were my friends and became my friends and we needed to kind of, like, connect. There was no one else you could talk to about it. I have no idea who the final three are or who wins. So you're going to continue watching then? Yes, because now I can watch without my stomach or, you know,

my body reliving something. But you can appreciate that other people who are still on the show will be still feeling that. So, ha ha, take that. Absolutely. Oh my God, I'm so looking forward to it. Because I, you know, generally like this kind of TV, you know, I watch it anyway. Yeah.

It's even better when you're not on it anymore. Totally. That's the thing. I like that kind of reality situation too, but what's like, having gone from watching it to being in it, what is the biggest, I guess, misconception or is it as hard

as you thought it would be? Oh, it's actually, and it's not like a doom and gloom, it's actually harder than it looks, because they're not really showing, there's so many of us that you're not really showing camp lights. Yeah, right. because they're not really showing, there's so many of us that you're not really showing camp lights. Yeah, right.

And you're not showing, like you can see our bumps and bruises, but you just kind of can't see all the wounds. Like we had medics visit us morning and night and, you know, they were absolutely necessary. People were kind of eroding and not sleeping. I remember they started giving me magnesium and I was like, looking at them like, there's something wrong. It's like, you just need to get some good sleep, I think.

You know, it was just a soul sort of, oh, God. Oh, my God. Yeah. Because in the back of my mind, I'm like, they're celebrities. They're looking after them. They're giving them like a... Yeah, they're in the Hilton, aren't they? They put them in the Hilton at night.

There was a quote going around, because I think it was something that JJ had said. I think they sent out an email saying, has it got any questions? And she was like, yeah, so do we give our laundry to you? And I remember even saying to them, it was about laundry as well, I was like, so do I, what do I,

do you give us a bucket? And she's like, you wash yourself and you wash your own clothing in the sea. And I was like, right, yeah, okay, cool, cool. I never even considered that. Oh my god. We have a new appreciation of life back in the norm.

Thanks for talking to us this morning, Angela Bloomfield. Thank you. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Megan. Talking to strangers. I've never been much of a fan. I'm not good at small talk. Sometimes I like talking to strangers better than I like talking to people who I only a little bit know.

I get that. Acquaintances. Like, I can talk to a stranger, but I, like, because everybody's on an even keel. But kind of if you're talking to someone, what's an example? Like, you might know them online or of them online. Yeah, or you might have met them once. You might have gone to school with them.

Yeah. And so, yeah. Why? Why does that feel weird? I don't know where to start. Okay. I don't know. And I kind of know what's going on,

but I don't want them to know that I know what's going on because they'll think I've been looking up their stuff on Facebook, not just been served it by the algorithm. Yeah, right. Sometimes, yeah, I see someone I even kind of like know quite well and I'll be like, I might dip into the shop. So I don't have to talk to them. I love that.

That's all of us are right. You would have been a good person for the study. There are very few people I'd seek out conversation with. Oh my god. Are you telling us we should feel special? He's only doing it because he's forced to. I'm being paid to be here. Are you guys being paid? I'm being paid.

Okay, good. I just want to make sure we're all being paid. You would dip into a shop if you saw us on the street. Is that what you're saying? Nah, not you guys. Thanks. Just like you do a drive by my house to do a nosy, but you don't even come in. I want to be nosy.

I don't want to drop in unannounced. What a horrible thing. Don't ever drop in our house unannounced either. Right. I just want to open in unannounced. What a horrible thing. Don't ever drop in an ahas unannounced either. Right. I just won't open the gate. Well, a study's looked at how people react with... Conversations

with strangers. So yeah, they looked into it and I feel like it's slightly changed for me a little bit with the pandemic because when I talked to that lady at Mitre 10, I was like, this is actually really nice. We had a conversation about my mop. But people benefit from deep and meaningful conversations and that is the same with strangers.

So instead of sticking to like small talk with strangers, people often do that because they overestimate awkwardness and they also underestimate how much people are interested in your lives. So they did a wee test and people who did have conversation, whether it was small talk or whether it was a deep and meaningful with a stranger, felt better and they got a lot of enjoyment out of it. But the ones that tended to have deep and meaningfuls had strong, deep conversations. Oh, wow. They really enjoyed it and they felt significant benefits.

And they said the awkwardness was just not there. The deeper the conversation, the less awkward. So I could just go up to some stranger today and say something like, how do you feel the way that you were raised by your parents has, you know, made you the person you are today? I mean, maybe.

And influenced your ongoing relationships with people you grow close to. Exactly, yeah. I mean, that's... Imagine a stranger just coming up to you and saying that. But maybe you need to like ease into it. You need to know that they... How's the Imagine a stranger just coming up to you and saying that. But maybe you need to, like, ease into it. You need to know that they're... How's the weather?

They want to talk to you. Right. And then maybe ease into it. Okay. I don't know. But, like, it's when people say, how are you? And everyone's like, good. I don't want someone to tell me how they actually are, though.

Okay, maybe you're a bad example. Not a stranger. Yeah. Maybe you're a bad example. Hey, mate. Hey, how are you? Oh, you know. Uh-oh. What's how are you He's walked away

It was a passing how are you You don't answer those But what if you go to the supermarket How are you and they're like Languishing I'm not great This has given me an idea for an app Oh here we go You sign up for the app and you put as much

Details in it as you want. Yep. And then, so this is if you're in traffic or you see people. Okay. What's their story? Because sometimes if I'm in traffic, it scares me. Or like when this happens every time when you're flying into a city and I look down and I see all the cars, I'm like,

everybody is leading an individual life. Every one of these people. See, you're intrigued. Is living an individual life. And so I'm like, and in an individual life. Every one of these people. See, you're intrigued. Is living an individual life. And so I'm like, and in traffic I'll look around about where's that guy been? Like what's his story? Yeah. I don't want to talk to him.

I just want to read the book. So you don't want the interaction. You just want the information. We sign up for the app. I write Vaughn, 39, radio announcer. Like this is just what I'm choosing to put in there wife

two daughters and then someone pulls up alongside it and they're like what's this guy's story and they pull out their phone

and the app augmented reality is like that's Vaughn thinks he's a farmer he's 39 hobby farmer so this would be some kind of

Black Mirror-esque yeah but you only share the details you want to share. Right. And if you don't like the app, you don't have to download it at all. I feel like it's only going to take a week before guys are sending dick pics on this app. And then you have to shut it down.

You're like, who's this guy? Oh, gross. No, it'll be like, fletch. And then underneath it'll be like, 8, equal sign, equal sign, equal sign, equal sign. Capital D, tilde, tilde, tilde. And that's just how you let- Why can't you stop it at the Tilds? That's how you go at the Tilds.

Otherwise, you're just like, what is that? But again, someone's ruining your app already. So I'm just- Well, no, I don't care who hijacks this to use it for as long as it's consensual. Right, yeah. I hold the phone up. I see your eight, equal sign, equal sign, equal sign, equal sign. Tild, Tild, Tild.

Capital D, Tild, Tilt, Tilt. And I'm like, cool bananas. But I can't message you, but I can knock on the window and indicate wind down your window. And what would you say to me? I don't want to talk to you. No, but I'd be like, Tilt? Do you want to make me Tilt?
