The ZM Podcast Network. Clay. ZM's Fleetch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fleetch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee for only $4. Conditions apply. I mean, I could re-record this whole thing again

just for that one tiny mistake, but you know what? I'm real. I make mistakes. I'm a human being. I feel like you just reiterated the $4, which is good, you know? Yeah, exactly. You said it twice. Exactly.

Now, Vaughn's away in today's podcast with the colonoscopy. Yes. So just us here holding down the fort. Executive intern Anya is in. Good morning. Hi. You'll hear in today's podcast about the Japanese karaoke dinner soon. I don't want to spoil that.

But you do. You've moved into a new place and you've got an issue with the toilet. I do. Now, you'll be pleased to know I have secured on the show, and this is a little special treat for old school podcast listeners, producer James. James 1.0 is now running his dad's plumbing empire. In case you wondered what Jimmy was up to.

Yeah, he's left the world of sales, radio sales. He made so much money he could buy a boat, and now he's gone to run his empire. I've secured a spot with him tomorrow, and he's going to answer your plumbing question on the show. Are we actually going to do a question box? He could be our resident plumbing expert. We could run a segment, Ask the Plumber. I love that.

That's sexy. Ask the Plumber. I think that's the radio segment we all need. I think the radio consultant is going to love this. He bloody will. He bloody will. So this is pretty exciting news tomorrow. This burning question about Anna his toilet will be answered.

You came to us with a question and neither of us knew the answer. It's a valid question. No, it's not a silly question. I think this is going to help people tomorrow. So that's a little. Yeah, being honest about troubles in your personal life can often help people. Even if it just helps one person, you know. You've done your bit.

You all right? What's going on here? Even if it just helps one person, you know? You've done your bit. You alright? What's going on here? Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleeche Vaughan and Megan minus Vaughan today, who's getting a tiny microscopic camera on a rope. Put up his baton.

Baton, yes. Round two for his precautionary... Colonoscopy? Yep, that's what it's called. That's what it's called? Yeah. Did you get an update? I was on his drinking of the laxative effect.

No, I haven't heard anything. I might actually message him. Yeah, because last time he had somewhat of a sleepless night as his body excavated all goods. He's spared us the details this time around, which is great for the group chat. Lovely. A chance this morning on the show to get a free

ride thanks to Free Guy. It's back. Your chance to pay bills. Again, those boring mundane bills. We'll do this at 8 o'clock. Just got to get through when you hear the activator. We'll pay off one of your boring mundane bills and then give you a chance to double or nothing. We'll do this again at midday as well with Georgia and Brian Clint this afternoon as well at five o'clock.

Next on the show, Gen Z clothes. Sweet. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Gen Zers are saving the world because it has been revealed that they would rather rent clothes than own them. They're more willing to rent clothes than any other generation. They might be doing that,

but July was the hottest month on earth since records began. So probably going to have to do more than that. Yeah, I think that's the rest of the generation's fault. I mean, they're working pretty hard to turn that around. But yeah, Gen Zers, and it is about the environment too. So the reason is they're cutting down on waste and they're trying to reduce overconsumption. That's the most common answer for why Gen Zers are renting clothes. But would they be mostly renting for like events?

Yeah, because you're not renting like everyday wardrobe. You wouldn't, would you? I have done. Not often. Because every time I've gone to, because I know a lot of people who rent dresses for events and stuff, but every time

I've gone to do it, it's actually not that cheap. How much to rent? You could easily, to rent a dress, spend like 80 to 100 bucks. And then I'm just like, oh, can I work in this? To rent it? Yeah. And then you don't have anything tangible at the end of it other than photos of you looking cute. And I know it is good for the environment.

But then some of the stuff you could be renting for 100100 might be something worth quite a lot of money, right? Yeah. That you'd never be able to afford. Designer dresses. Yeah. So like some, yeah, very expensive dresses. But I just don't have anything. So out of everybody, Gen Zers, most likely.

Gen Zers are the ones that are saving the planet. Can't wait at the social media desk. Are you saving the planet? Yeah, in other ways. So you don't prefer to rent? No, because I find that if I go to an outlet store or something, I can buy a dress for less than what it's going to be to rent and then I'll re-wear it.

Oh, the trouble with the outlet stores, things are always XXXL or green. Every time I go to an outlet store, there's never my size. It's either ugly colours. Extra small. Extra small or extra large. Yeah. There's never that thing in the middle.

No. Because everyone's already bought it out. That's why they ship it off to the outlet. Have you ever rented a dress though? I don't think I have. Just purely because it costs a lot? Yeah, or I just borrow them. Like a lot of my friends and I kind of swap dresses.

So if we're going to an event and then we have another one, we're like, oh, you know how you wore that last time? Oh, we're at this time. Is that why you only have friends that are the same size as you? Yeah, my best friends are extra small. Worst friend ever. Worst friend ever. Worst friend ever.

Yeah. She's the one that when we go out I order a salad And she orders like a burger and fries And they give it to me Not her I feel I feel attacked And she doesn't get any bigger

No She could eat that like For every meal Exactly It's ridiculous It's rude Next on the show Somebody here at the show

Was responsible for clearing out An entire restaurant On Saturday night and I am upset that this is not at a more prime time spot. Executive producer Anna Henvest, why is this not in prime time?

Did you hear that? He didn't say into it though. That's very nice. Yeah, there's a reason. There's a reason and you'll hear it next. Yeah. There's a reason. Yeah, there's a reason. There's a reason. And you'll hear it next. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Executive intern Anya, birthday girl at the weekend, Saturday.

How old did you turn? Tell everyone how old you turned. 25. 25. I always think you're older. I think you're older than that. Just because you're so mature. Thank you so much. Yeah, you boss us around you're older. Mostly older than that. Just because you're so mature. Thank you so much. Yeah, and you boss us around.

I do. It's a blessing. And so for Saturday night, there was a big soiree. Yeah. A big Japanese restaurant. Yep. Set menu. Set menu, which I, God, it's good food.

Yeah. You picked well there. Thank you. And there was a little side room where, how many people were there? Like 25? Yep. a little side room. How many people were there? Like 25? Yep. A little side room, but it was in a big Japanese restaurant. Yeah.

But to the side was like the big room for 25 people. Yeah, so on the website when it says function room, I thought there'd be a door. There was merely a curtain. Yeah. Curtains don't keep sound out. They do not. I wish they did.

Because in, also, why weren't you there, Megan? Well, so my mum is here looking after my baby, and I felt bad leaving her being like, see ya, I'm going to a party. Isn't that why she's here? No, but she's not like, she's not a babysitter. And also, she spends all week at home by herself with the baby, Isn't that why she's here? No, but she's not like a babysitter. And also she spends all week at home by herself with the baby. So I was like, I don't really feel like I can touch her.

You could have brought Ray Ray. She would have lit that fire. Do you know what? I didn't want to because she would have lit that fire. People what you wish for in that regard. That's true. Well, it was quite a night because in this function room to the side of the main restaurant, which as we've mentioned there was no door and everybody could

see in, there was a karaoke machine. And it didn't take long. That's intriguing. It's part of the restaurant. Okay, cool. But there's no door. So when I left the function room while everybody was karaoke-ing to use the bathroom,

it turns out that the speakers for the function room are piped into the entire restaurant, which would explain why people were looking, right? Did you see everybody looking the whole night? I sucked it out. I mean, I was in the moment. I wasn't caring too much. The music entertainment for the rest of the restaurant is the karaoke thing.

Yes. Okay. So this is what it sounded like when I left the function room and walked through the restaurant with paying public. This is what they could hear. Yeah, this is also the whitest version of this song you'll ever hear.

And actually not a bad, this doesn't sound as bad as the song was. I probably picked the nicest bit there. I did sound, why did you sound British when you were singing that? Anna gets British when she's drunk. Yeah, it takes three wines and I'm from Essex. I can't help her. I think you should now use this

moment to formally apologise to everybody who was in the Takapuna Nippon restaurant on Saturday night for having to leave their lovely dinner early. Yeah, quarter past eight. It was like the function room was all out. That's so early.

Yeah. And then when I left at like just after nine, they were open till like 11 and that restaurant was empty. Yeah. I was like, uh-oh, you have really cleared this out. Wow. We had fun. Yeah, that's what matters, right?

Yeah, it does. We had fun. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. There's a new app that's come to New Zealand. It is massive overseas, but it's finally here. And it is nothing to do with dating. And it's all about mums. It's called Peanut.

And it is a name. So when you are pregnant, your baby grows. And every week you get a different comparison of what it is. So it starts like a poppy seed. So once it got to a peanut, that's where the name comes from. Right. When a baby was the size of a peanut. But this is in 14 countries,

2 million members, and yeah, it's come to New Zealand now. So it's not dating. It is for mums to go on and find like friendship and kinship and be like,

okay, my kid's doing this. Is that normal? That's why they call it Tinder for mums because you're swiping to find a friend. Yeah, so basically when the woman who started it was pregnant, she just found that she was really lonely

and had no one to talk to because her other friends were at different stages in their life. And everything's new and there's no rule book and there's no instruction manual for this baby. Yeah, right. So she created this app. Do you know Ashton Kutcher's company actually invested? She said when she started it,

she found it really hard to find backing in like a male-dominated industry, trying to find financial backing. But Ashton Kutcher's company, Sound Ventures, raised $31.1 million for the app. I'm just looking at how much he's worth because when you mentioned that, because I know he's invested in, like, wasn't he an early investor

in Uber and all kinds of tech? $150 million. But his divorce from Demi, remember when he went out with Demi Moore? They were married. They were married. That's right. That took a portion of his earnings. Right. Because his fortune is not from acting, is it?

But then another one, this story from 21 said he's got $200 million net worth. And that alone would be going up. From 2021? Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, $200 million, 43. We've seen his lavish barn house. Oh, amazing.

Beautiful. Even if he doesn't shower. Yeah. So this is, but is this like, is it Bumble that does, because Bumble have a part of Bumble or you can sign in. Yeah, just where you make friends. That's such a sad state of the world these days that, you know, like we find it, we're so lonely and we have to go on tech

and then you just get like, even on Bumble Friends you still get dick pics. Do you? Carwen, weren't you using it at the social media desk? Did you try Bumble Friends? Yeah, so when I first moved here for internship. Okay, and did you get a naughty picture?

No. Oh, I don't know what Megan's are hearing. Maybe Megan's got... That's a different at me. Right, okay, maybe it's just normal bumble. Yeah, it's probably that, normal bumble, yeah. Yeah, but my friends and I all went on internships in different cities. So then we were like, why don't we all try it in our respective city? And it was kind of interesting. There's a few girls I still follow on Instagram,

but I didn't hang out with anyone. So it's only if you need Instagram followers is that what you're saying no I think I just never got around to catching up with them but then I had to delete the app because it looks it still looks like bumble and I was in a relationship and it looks kind of dodgy because you can you can just switch between like the dating and the friend version on the normal app right so it's kind of hard to explain to your partner that you have Bumble, but you're not on the dating side of it. Yeah.

It's kind of like, so you just like say hi, and then do you arrange like a first date? Yeah, like go for coffee. Yeah. I'm too socially awkward for this. And then you don't hook up with them. Nah. Odd. Weird, eh?

What's the point? I can't comprehend that. Okay, well, that's certainly fascinating. Cannot compute. All right, well, and if you're a mum and you need some friends and support, yeah, try Peanut. It's out now in New Zealand. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

Former neonatal ICU nurse. She's quit her job, but it was after she was pretty much made to. So she joined OnlyFans. She had an OnlyFans account. Okay. While she was still an ICU nurse. But on the account, it's important to note she didn't say where she worked and she didn't use her real name.

What? And her workplace had an issue with that? So her co-workers found out about this and they subscribed to her OnlyFans account where she was doing self-service and with her partner, with her husband. Right, okay. So that was the content. Which is in a job, that's what everyone goes home and does anyway, right? She's just making money from it on OnlyFans. And it's not public. You have to subscribe to see this content.

So her workmates found out about it, her female workmates, subscribed, took screenshots and took it to her boss. And her boss was like, okay, this is not on. We need you to leave. So

she left because she was like, I'm not doing this for the love of it. But she wasn't saying where she worked. She wasn't in her uniform. She didn't even use her real name. Oh, well then they've got... Yeah. But she was like,

oh, it doesn't matter because I earn 75,000 US per month, which is 106,000 New Zealand dollars per month. A month. So she's like, I don't need to be a nurse and deal with COVID and all this like terrible shifts. Look at your eyes light up.

Like you could leave this job and earn $100,000 US a month. I have afternoons. But given that she doesn't use her real name and she didn't say where she worked, would this be a problem? Ross, our boss, joins us in this studio. Ross, Megan wants to ask if... The legalities of this.

If she's allowed an OnlyFans while working here. Why did this lady stay working there? Was it just to get the sexy nurse outfits for her content? I don't know. She said she was doing it for the love of it, but in the end she was like, okay, stuff it. Money trumps love of it. I love nothing for a hundred grand. A month. A month. A like, okay, stuff it. Money trumps love of it. I love nothing for $100,000 a year.

A month. A month. A month, sorry, yeah. $100,000 a month. Look, I mean. You don't want to say it. You all do you. You don't want to say about who's paying Megan $100,000.

Is that what you wanted to say? Excuse me? There is someone here in our building that has a foot OnlyFans account. Oh, yeah. Are you kidding me? What, just for feet? Yeah, it works for me in that other place. What?

How much does this cost? She had a situation where like a kid at her kid's school gave the kid grief and she went up to the kid and she was like, whatever, your dad's paying for my feet. Wow. Because I have interesting looking feet. Oh yeah, no one's paying to see your feet, unless you're into like weird looking feet.

I'll pay for you to not show us your feet. Because you can't put jandals on. No, I've got a gap between my first and second toe. It's the second and third toe that are webbed. So I'd like people to be like, put this carrot, and I'll be like, I can't. Well, someone might find that sexy. Put this carrot?

That was really specific. How do you know that? I was just trying to think of content. What, to put a carrot between your toes? Right. I wouldn't be able to do that Would you be able to do that though? Probably, I've got long toes

I've peeled a banana Actually, maybe I could be the one making money You should From OnlyFans with my finger toes Yeah You've peeled a banana with them It's possible I've done it before

So what you're saying is There's no problem with us having these OnlyFans accounts on the side You can do Whatever you want Whatever you want Yeah, cool There's no shame here. The only way you'll be able to see

the content is if you subscribe anyway. Yeah. I don't know. Can we get a ballpark on what the other person charges for her feet posts? Have we had a look there? What's the monthly fee there? Can't wait to social media this busy looking on OnlyFans.

Around $20 a month. $20 a month to look at feet? Get in there. Get in there. Do it. Let's both do it and see who makes more money. You peeling your bananas and me trying to put things in between the windows. Do you only show from like the ankle down?

You don't show anything else. I don't know. Just don't ask anything else. I don't know. Just don't ask me to help you run it, okay? It's not part of your job description at the social media desk. Okay. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. 2020 and 2021 have made me a germaphobe, even more so. But I can safely say that even before any of the COVID stuff,

I still showered once a day. At least once a day. You the same? Yep. At least once or twice. And then, yeah, if you're like gymming or something, maybe an extra shower in there. Or summer when it's really humid, you might have two. Yeah. Three maybe.

Or if you've been for a swim. Yeah. No sin. This whole bathing thing has come about from Ashton Kutcher and Miley Kurnis. They went on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast and talk about how they don't wash their kids until they get the stink. Or they can see visible dirt on them, which, I mean, germs and stuff, not visible famously.

Yeah. But the study has shown that 51% of people say that it is necessary to shower every day. That's half. So only half of people will shower every day? Yeah, the way we've been chatting about this over the past week, just being like, oh, everyone showers. Turns out half pretty much don't believe that you need to shower every day.

And 8% of people in this study take showers once a week. Oh, okay. That's a high percentage. 8% once a week. Wow. Like, how can you... Once a week? Yeah.

So I just Googled, how often should you shower? Okay. And this is the number one answer that comes back. Who's saying this? Is it like a dermatologist or something? No, a health website, but it's the one that comes up as the number one Google answer. How often should you shower?

Cleanse daily, but shower less often. For many people, a full body shower every other day or even every third day is likely to be sufficient. But they suggest you get out the old flanny, the flannel, and just do an underpits and a genital flanny. And that apparently will be enough. A genie flanny. A genie flanny.

Just get the flanny all over the genies under the pits. And that's apparently all you need to do. No thanks. I didn't realise that like we were kind of like... In a minority? You're just showering every day? Then 63% of parents agree with the celebrities that don't bath their kids

every day. Like kids are like dogs. They're rolling in stuff. Yeah, they bomb on their faces and food all over their faces. But again, get the flanny out. Right. That's not enough for kids, is it?

Like, they're... Well, I don't know. You've got one. Yeah, nah. No. Every day. Okay. Yeah, so there you go.

So what, 50% of people only showering. In the American study? Yeah, it is. I'd like to think we're a bit cleaner. Yeah, same. Maybe we need to run our own poll. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we need to run our own poll because Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we need to run our own poll

because that's quite disgusting, isn't it? Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. A pilot has been charged, this is in Canada, after they used their helicopter for personal use. That doesn't sound weird because if you've got one, then why wouldn't you?

Yeah, but apparently you can't just land anywhere. That's an issue, isn't it? Semantic. So so i just see a large park or a car park and think perfect which is what happened because this pilot uh used his helicopter license to transport a passenger um landed in a school car park because it was well it would have been empty right a lot of space yep um and they people at the school and everything assumed like there's some kind of medical emergency. This is a rescue helicopter. It's red.

But it wasn't a medical emergency. It was a snack emergency because someone was seen then running from the helicopter to a Dairy Queen and coming back with an ice cream cake and then the helicopter took off again. That is amazing. So there was, what, a party and maybe they needed a backup cake or they needed a cake? We're like, oh, my God, we don't have a cake sorted.

Race into a Dairy Queen. But that's just the rich person version of you going to the dairy and your Toyota Corolla and double parking in a loading bay. I mean, the helicopter's there. It's very tempting. And I'm assuming if you have a helicopter, you live like somewhere flash. Yeah.

In the middle of nowhere. And the guy's been charged. The pilot's going to appear in court on September. That's going to be an expensive cheesecake, ice cream cake. But I didn't realise that that would be illegal. Like it must have been where he landed or something. Yeah, I don't know the rules, but I'm assuming you've got to land on H's. Yeah.

Halley pads and stuff. Desperate. And also, the cake melts, like ice cream cake. You've got to get it. Or hence the helicopter, yeah. If you've got that on the front seat of your Corolla, the time's ticking. And it's summer over there. Hot.

Yeah. Chili bins. Yeah over there. Hot. Yeah. Chili bins? Yeah. Also an option. Yeah. Okay, here's a question though. How far have you gone for a snack? Like, how out of your way? Like, obviously nobody's grabbing the helicopter to go

to buy an ice cream cake. But you know, how far have you driven or gone out of your way to get delicious food? To get something. Yeah. Like, I don't have a car, so this kind of is good. How far have you biked? Well, no, or I'll just be like, oh, there's food.

So you'll trek across town maybe. But I haven't gone, like, to another suburb. You're also surrounded by delicious eateries and treats. I live downtown in Auckland. Everything is around me. Everything is within 100 metres, 200 metres. Yeah. Any kind of food you can imagine.

But yeah, but then you hear of people that drive to whole different towns. Like special bakeries? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Has anyone in the producer's booth gone to extreme lengths to get something? What about Henny's Noms? Instagram food influencer. Yeah, I'll drive across town for a pizza. Even though there's pizza in your suburb?

That's not the pizza. How many kilometres are we talking for pizza? Probably 45. 45 kilometres? Yeah. Do you eat the pizza there or do you drive it back? Oh, no, I eat the pizza there. I was going to say, no, you'd have to eat it there.

Producer Jared, how far have you gone out of your way for a treat? I drove an hour and a half for a bread pie. What? The Vegeta is a bread pie. Is there also South Africans call it toasted sandwich? No, I drove up to the Mungify deli in Mungify to get one of their bread pies, which is basically like

Thanks for stipulating that the Mungify bakery is in Mungify. Where is that? Oh, I got it for a moment. I thought it was in Queenstown. So bread pie is like a softball sized pie but instead of made of pastry, it's like a softball-sized pie, but instead of made of pastry, it's like a layer of fresh bread.

So when he makes it, I think he like chucks the filling, wraps the bread dough around it, and then just like cooks it. So the outside's like this nice crust. That's a bun, so it's a bun. No, no, it's a bread pie. So it's like, imagine... Is it like what your mum, you know, your mum makes them in the muffin trays?

Put spaghetti in them? Oh, yeah. And fills it with egg and baked beans and stuff. No, it's a pie. Yeah. So imagine a normal steak and cheese pie. Yeah. But instead of the thin flaky pastry.

Yeah. It's like a good three centimetres of fresh baked bread. Okay. It's bomb. It's so good. This centimetres of fresh baked bread. It's bomb. It's so good. I've never heard of this in my life. No. Yeah, I think he's the only person that does it.

I'm not surprised that sounds like that. But they sell out. Why have you heard of it? Really? Because they're amazing. They're amazing. And so you woke up one day, you're like, you know what? I needed my life today. And that's a bread pie that's an hour and a half away.

Yeah, I was feeling pretty delicate. Not delicate enough to mind driving an hour and a half away. Yeah, I was feeling pretty delicate. Not delicate enough to mind driving an hour and a half. Yeah, and then I got there and they were shut and I legit cried. Amazing. Yeah. All right, so this is what we want to hear from you this morning. On 0800DARLS.M, you can text as well, 9696.

How far out of your way have you gone for food or for a treat? Like, was it a whole different town or city? Did you have to fly somewhere? Maybe you know someone with a helicopter. So a pilot has been charged after he flew his helicopter, parked at a school, ran and got an ice cream cake from the Dairy Queen in Togolpheking. People thought it was an emergency.

I mean, I guess it was some sort of emergency. This is in Canada. Well, it is, yeah. They needed a cake and it's summer. Yeah. So, grab the helicopter. They had the means. So, we wanted to know how far you've gone to get a treat. How far out of your way. Yeah.

I mean, obviously no one's calling up to use the helicopter, but maybe there was some travel involved, maybe some long distance. Darren, how far out of your way have you gone for a treat? All the way to Christchurch. From where? Wellington. Okay, for what?

What was the treat? Oh, the best bacon and egg you'd ever come across. Okay, was this a morning of, or had you pre-planned this and booked your flights weeks in advance? No, no, no, no, no. I was working for Engineering as an engineer, and you get pre-domestic flights. And we'd been down there once before and had breakfast down there.

Yeah. I paid $18, and I'm a big eater, and I could not eat all this breakfast. So you just woke up. I woke up one morning. I woke up one morning, and I said to my young fellow, I said, you hungry? He goes, yes.

He says, do you want to go out for breakfast? He goes, yes, Dad. Okay, so I rang staff travel, and we got on a flight, and we flew from Wellington to Christchurch. We had breakfast. We went to the movies, and we flew home. That is amazing. It's a hell of a carbon footprint for breakfast.

But worth it for the eggs. Darren, thanks. You're cool. Jason, how far out of your way did you go for a treat? I just moved from Auckland to Perth in Australia. About two weeks in, I got a craving for a kebab, and I spent about four months trying to find a good one, and I just couldn't.

So I told my boss I needed Friday afternoon off work and I flew from Perth back to Auckland to come get a kebab in the place I usually went to. You've just beaten Darren's carbon footprint for E.N.'s. Good lord. Wow. That's what, a six hour flight? Seven, I think it is. Yeah.

How much was that flight last minute, pre-pandemic? My old man worked for Air New Zealand, so I think it was like $500. God, all these people with the... Still, that's a lot for a kebab. It was a lot for a kebab. I never actually got the kebab. The business closed down like a couple of weeks before I came back. Oh my God. Do a quick Google, mate. But you'd expect it still to be there. You would think so. So it's been like eight years now and I've still only had average kebabs.

Oh, my God. How good was this kebab? What was special about it? I have no idea. It was just better than every other one I've ever had. I used to go there like three times a week. Oh, my God. Well, clearly everyone else didn't agree. No. Yeah, I was the only one I've ever had. I used to go there like three times a week. Oh, my God. Well, clearly everyone else didn't agree.

No. Yeah, I was the only one keeping them in business. Yeah, and then you moved and they went under. Amazing. Jason, thanks for your call. Brandon, how far out of the way did you go for a snack or a treat? So a couple of years ago when me and my mates were 16, 17, we were student pilots.

And he asked me if I wanted a hot chocolate. So I said yeah. So we both flew down to Tauranga. In the student plane? Yeah, so we went into the building. It was about, I think, at one o'clock in the afternoon. We just went up to the instructor and asked him if he wanted a coffee, if we could

borrow a plane and we flew to Tauranga. So one 15-year-old, one 16-year-old and yeah, got a hot chocolate down in Taronga. That is loose. What was special about this hot chocolate? It was, oh, I can't remember where it was, but it was a little airport in Taronga that had a little cafe built onto it.

And they did amazing hot chocolates. I haven't had any hot chocolate as good as they think. Did they give you a little free marshmallow, Brandon? Unfortunately, no, actually. That's what makes a good hot chocolate for me. Thanks for your call. Some messages in. God, we're seeing.

I didn't realise we get so many people who had perks with aircrafts. But someone said, I drove to Pack and Save in Auckland and from Auckland to Hamilton to buy the last Pam's cheese and onion chips when they stopped making them. Obviously, a big fan. Okay. Auckland to Woodville for cheesecakes from Yummy Mummy's Cheesecakes. Have not heard.

That's a long drive. Can I say, Producer Jared did talk about the Mungify Bakery and their bread pies. So they use bread in place of pastry. Yeah, I looked on TripAdvisor. Four out of five circles are green. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

We've had lots of people backing up Jared's pies. So someone said, my cousin drives one and a half hours to the Mungify bakery for their steak and pepper pie. Someone said the Cajun chicken bread pies are so good from the Mungify deli. But and pepper pie. Someone said the Cajun chicken bread pies are so good from the Mungify deli. But we did have report that they apparently were closed. I think they're closed a couple of days a week.

Yeah. Right. Okay, so do a wee googs before you sit out an hour and a half. Yeah, heartbreak. And then have a wee cry about it. Yeah, and I did go for the Cajun chicken bread pie. Okay. It's a classic.

Next on the show, Executive Intern Anya, I think dodged a bullet yesterday. You are so lucky Vaughan is not here. You are so lucky. A light roasting for her next on the show. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Executive Intern Anya, who at the weekend celebrated her 25th birthday. And we did mention this earlier in the show, for those that missed it,

there was a karaoke. Yep. Which emptied out the bar. You're about to play it again. Can you please play it again? Absolutely. I'm just trying to find it as I pad for time. I feel like ten past six was wasted.

It wasn't. Yeah, you're right. Whereabouts is it, Jared? I need to play this again for the people. Here it is, here it is, I've found it. This is Executive Antonia singing. Estelle and Kanye, that's beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, and so this was in the function room to the side of the Nippon Takapuna and by the time she'd finished, the restaurant had emptied. I'm just sad with that audio. You can't see the performance that was behind it. I did wonder why everyone was looking.

The speakers were in the restaurant, it turns out, as well. Yeah, just risky. It was less karaoke and more just a concert of me. Back to back. Because I left at about 9.30. When did you finish up? Big night? Big night. We left there probably like 11.

Then we went to town and then probably got home like 3, 3.30. That's the thing. That restaurant was open till 11 and the restaurant when I left at 9.30 was empty. People were So you stayed there till closing? Yeah. But everyone was buying drinks and you know we were still having a good time. Now you are lucky that Vaughn is away today because,

and you are lucky he wasn't there at the night because I heard this, I overheard this in conversation and I went, what? You're what tomorrow? Yeah, there are things that I don't tell you guys about until they're done. Yes. Like car purchases, any major life decisions. I just go, surprise, here it is. Because otherwise you just get all the opinions. Yes. You're wise, any major life decisions. I just go, surprise, here it is. Because otherwise you just get all the opinions.

Yes. You're wise. I've learnt that. I think you actually might have taught me. I did. Yeah. What is it that you plan to do yesterday morning after a big night of drinking? Get a friendship tattoo.

Matching friendship tattoos. Yeah. Yeah, so we were all booked in, it was all good to go and then we got a call maybe on Saturday afternoon saying hey actually we can't, we're double booked can you do earlier, can you do 9.30 to that I said I can already forecast that I will

absolutely not be up and down for those sorts of shenanigans at 9.30 and then we had great intentions to just go to a walk-in, dodgy spot in the city. And then when I woke up, that was not on the cards. I Googled if you can actually get a tattoo after a night of drinking. What's with PSA? Not advised.

Not advised. You simply should not. It thins your blood. So, yeah, look, one day, next time, it'll happen. Not advised Not advised You simply should not It thins your blood So Yeah look One day Next time It'll happen Next time this friend's in town

Wait so Oh so it was a friend thing You weren't like Getting matching tattoos With mystical bombs What are you getting What are you getting With your friend

I wasn't going to tell you Until it's done A lock and key No We've been joking about this Vaughn's just mentioned In the group chat This is how you get hepatitis. Vaughn's just mentioned in the group chat this is how you get hepatitis.

Yeah, Vaughn's listening so you're... Great, so I'm getting opinions regardless. We've been joking about this since we were 18. And now, by the 25th birthday

it felt like a good idea. Is it somewhat of a quarter-life crisis? It might be. Is it a cliche tattoo? Yes. So yin and yang? No. Is it broken love hearts? It. So yin and yang? No.

Is it broken love hearts? It's not so much a friendship tattoo like she's a part of me. It's just we both thought it was pretty funny so we're both going to get the same one.

A small smiley face on the big toe. On the big toe? What, so just dot, dot, half circle? Yeah, and would you believe when I sent this email quote request out to several tattoo places, many of them didn't get back to me. Because they take their artwork very seriously.

Did you get a quote for this? Several. How much is the three strokes of the tattoo gun going to cost you? The cheapest was 80 bucks and the dearest was 150. I know. And I was like, we will be done in three minutes. Yeah, wow day. Just pop in in between clients.

Yeah. I can't believe that those people even got back to you and entertained your stupid idea. I know. But what a giggle. That's what this life is about. It's just a bit of a giggle. So when you're with this

friend again, this is what's happening. 100%. Big toe. Yeah, because then no one can see it. I can look at it when I'm putting socks on and laugh. What about in summer? Summer? You haven't thought about summer. That's alright. Open-toed shoes. Yeah, that's alright. I'll be like, no, it's on the bottom. What?

It's on the bottom? Yeah, it'll probably wear off in a couple of years. Oh my god, it's on the bottom. Yeah, it'll probably wear off in a couple of years. Oh, my God. It's on the bottom. It's just a giggle, guys. It's just a bit of a giggle, you know? Wow. I'm a homeowner now.

I need to be a little bit sensible. That's why I'm going on the bottom of the foot. See? Spending money on a tattoo that will probably wear off and no one will see. It's not going to hinder my future employment opportunities is it? Unless you fall over in the interview in open-toed shoes and your shoes come off and they see it.

Then I start my foot-only fans. Well, in Australia, the mentions of the word vaccine in people's Tinder bios has gone up 220% in July compared to the start of this year. Because if you're going on a date, you'll be like, are you vaccinated? I'm vaccinated. Are you planning on? This was quite a big thing in America as well, where there were like three or four different vaccine options.

Depending on where you were, you could choose. You could be like, I want the Astra or I want the Pfizer. There wasn't like, people aren't getting like vaccine shamed, are they? Well, no, and that was the thing in like bios, people would be like, I'm gang Pfizer. I'm the Pfizer gang. Team Pfizer. I'm team Pfizer. And yeah, apparently the mentions

of the words vaccine have just gone through the roof, like in bios around the world. In Australia, you can now get or very soon, and I'm imagining it'll roll out here as well, because similar territories, you can get badges that say that

you've been vaccinated. And if you do this, it opens up extra features for dating app users, like extra super likes or more swipes, that kind of thing. But it's not verified by Tinder. So they have put a little disclaimer that people can put it on themselves and they can't guarantee that they actually are vaccinated. And then who would do that? Yeah, if you're an anti-vaxxer,

you're not going to lie about being. No. No, because you'd be. New Zealand, no. Wednesday, over 40s can start booking. And then from the 1st of September, it'll be everybody over the age of 16. Will you put your vaccination status on any dating apps?

I'm not on any dating apps. But, I mean, if I was, I would. Because I'm not. Yeah. Because you're not. Oh? I'm not on any dating apps, but I mean, if I was, I would. Because I'm not, yeah. Because you're not. Oh, I'm not. Oh, I'm going to be like, I'm definitely going to have a selfie at the Vax Centre. Yeah, right. I don't want to put it, I don't like people putting needles, doing selfies at the Vax

Centre, getting the vaccine with needles. Like on the news, I can't look whenever they're using stock footage of people getting injections. I'm like, I just have to look away. But when you go get a vaccine, it says everywhere, don't use your mobile phones. Does it? Yeah. But then I still used mine and no one said anything

because I was like, oh, it's putting a good message up. Yeah, heaps of people are putting their photos up. Yeah. But I think it's when you go into the little booth, you're not supposed to film a medical professional. Yeah, I don't think you should film any of the staff. They're not consenting to that. And also they need to concentrate on what they're doing.

Yeah, because could you imagine how much extra it'd take to vaccinate the whole country if everyone has to take five minutes to get the lighting right for a selfie? Yeah. You can go to the COVID website and get all that information about the rollout as well. There's a debate that started on Friday. This was started on 7sharp, but apparently this has been raging for a while. I had no idea that there was...

I had no idea. Are the names for tag is what I called it. People will be like, what's tag? Tiggy. Tiggy or Tig. Tag. It's the game you play. Well, you run around and you tag your it.

Yeah. But you say tag your it. Yeah, you say, what do run around and you tag your it. Yeah. But you say tag your it. Yeah, you say, what do you say, tigger your it? Yeah, I don't know. This is wild. I had no idea this was a debate. Like, I know there's things like, you know, vacuum cleaners.

People in the South Island call them luxes or hoovers. And then a batch and a crib. Yeah. Some people say crib. But I, until now, have never heard that there was a different name for the game tag. Yeah. And apparently there is. So we, yeah, we both say tag. But then even within our team, so some of the producers are Team Tiggy.

What did you call it in South Africa, Jared? Producer Jared? Just run for your life. Yeah, survive. Survival. Yeah. That's why they don't stop at the traffic lights. Yeah.

Not even a joke. You keep rolling, don't you? Yeah. And then I moved here and all of a sudden we had this little softy game called Tiggy. You're like, what is it? But you called it Tiggy. Yeah. I don't know why.

Like, when I moved here, people were calling it Tiggy. And I was like, I want to fit in. So, yeah, let's play Tiggy. Yeah, I don't know why. Like, when I moved here, people called it Tiggy and I was like, I want to fit in. So, yo, let's play Tiggy. So wait, you run around and when you, because when you play tag, you say tag, you're it. Did you say Tiggy, you're it? It was more like shame loser. Anna?

Yeah, we were team Tiggy too. Is it an Auckland thing? Maybe. I went to two different primary schools and they were both Tiggies. Okay, can't wait at the social media. Did you go to school in Hawke's Bay? Yeah. Okay, so what did you call it? Tag. Tag, yeah. Stupid Aucklanders.

Stupid. It must be a far North Island thing, surely. But then people all over the, yeah, it's different all over the country. Yeah. From the responses that we've had. We did have a poll on our social media.

80% of people called it tag. So that would suggest that the majority of the country, maybe up until Auckland and further north, call it tag. So I've Wikipedia'd tag, game in brackets, also called tag, taggy, it, tips'd tag, game in brackets also called tag taggy, it tips. Oh you're it.

You're it. Or tips tick or tip. Okay. I've never heard it called tips. What's that like tips you're it? Like because you just use the tips of your finger to like tips you're it. Or tick? Is that more like a tick or like that's a bit creepy.

Maybe not in this. Maybe we moved on from tick. I think we might have. But yeah, also, yeah. Never heard it called either of those. No. But yeah, just so divisive in the country. Someone has texted and said in Tauranga, we called it tiggy.

So that blows our theory out of the water. That it's just Aucklanders. Yeah, someone called it tiggy touch. Yeah, someone called it Tiggy Touch. Tiggy in Cambridge. Tiggy in Rotorua. Okay, well, I don't know then. You guys are just weird. It's nice to know that on the poll on our Instagram.

But no South Island tiggies? Not any reports of a South Island tiggy as yet. Wild. That doesn't roll off the tongue. Tiggy, you're it. No, even, or Tig, Tig roll off the tongue. Tiggy you're it. No, even, or Tig, Tig you're it. Tig's you're it. I don't know.

I'm not here for it. It's Tig. Grow up. It's not something we did, so you're wrong. Yeah, exactly. All right, for those who haven't heard this before, Am I a bad person? All right, for those who haven't heard this before, Am I a Bad Person? It's a segment of the show where we have,

someone contacts us and we dish out some advice as a nation and tell them if they are a bad person or not. Maybe they're in a bit of a predicament. They feel bad about something. It's a personal conundrum and they need some advice. This one, I've got nothing. So the email says, hi, guys. I need your advice on something.

I've been with my boyfriend for a year now. And he's a great guy in every area except one. This is like, you know, those memes online. Like no guy has all of these. And it's like, or they give you like $10. And have you not, those memes online, like, no guy has all of these. And it's like, or they give you like $10. And have you not seen those? It's like that. Okay. So the one area that he's not a great guy in is the bedroom. I've talked to him about it a couple of times and I've suggested ways we could improve,

but he's just super close-minded and wants to keep things the same. It's just so vanilla and while I don't want any Fifty Shades level of activity, I do just want it to be a bit spicier. I love him, but I can't help feeling like he's set in his ways and doesn't care about my needs. Am I a bad person for breaking up with him just because he's bad in his ways and doesn't care about my needs. Am I a bad person for breaking up with him just because he's bad in the bedroom? Because my advice would have been to talk to him about it, but she says a couple of times she has and then made suggestions,

but he's just not coming to the party. But maybe she needs, was she not blunt enough? Are you trying to say that guys maybe need everything to be spelled out? I'm saying they need everything to be spelled out. Not good with hints. No, not good with hints. No. Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe she wasn't blunt enough. But then you've got to be careful. I know you can't say to someone, you are terrible in the bedroom. Yeah. You've really got to phrase it well. But yeah, suggested a couple of things and just wasn't into it. So how do you broach that subject?

So she's obviously open to staying with him. Yeah. But she is also open to, look, maybe this isn't right. Yeah. And it sounds like that intimacy is a big thing for her. She's not getting what she needs. Just really trying to dance around this.

Dance around, yeah. So what is your advice? Should she break up with him? How does she broach it? Well, it's not everything, but it is a big part of the relationship. It sets you apart from friendship, though. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, and if you're not happy, you don't want to commit to that forever.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Forever. Forever. Forever, ever. Yeah, because that would be the next step, right? You get engaged, you get married, and then, yeah, that's forever. Unless you get into the open relationship,

but that doesn't sound like that's an option. She hasn't mentioned that. No. Yeah, if you've got someone to lie. Okay, well, yeah, so this is where we put it to the people. And maybe you've been in this situation, like our listener here who has reached out. What do you do in this situation?

How is, like, what is a good way to broach it without hurting his feelings, but then making it obvious that your needs aren't being met? I'm just, yeah. Because you're right, because guys do need it spelt out, don't they? They don't get hurt. But then how do you do that without hurting his feelings? Exactly. Yeah.

I've got nothing You've got nothing Alright 0800 DALS at M We want to take your calls now You can text as well 9696 Maybe you've been in this situation Where you've been with someone

And that in the bedroom It hasn't been right But then maybe you've found a fix for it Early texts in are brutal It's not the way I thought it would go down Really? Okay well is she a bad person For wanting to break up with her boyfriend Because it's not matching And not thought it would go down. Really? Yeah. Okay, well, is she a bad person for wanting to break up with her boyfriend

because it's not matching and not gelling in the bedroom? No. Am I a bad person? Well, we've had a correspondence from a listener. So basically, she's been with her boyfriend for a year now. He's a great guy in every area except the bedroom. So she says she's talked about it a couple of times, suggested ways that they could improve, but he's super closed-minded and wanted to keep things the bedroom. So she says she's talked about it a couple of times, suggested ways that they could improve,

but he's super closed-minded and wanted to keep things the same. So she says she loves him, but she can't help feeling like he's set in his ways and doesn't care about my needs. So is she a bad person for breaking up with him just because he's bad in the bedroom? It's a tough one, considering she's already spoken to him.

Isn't that something you'd work out early on? No, because it gets better. Because women always think, this is something I can fix. We can work on it as a do-er-upper. But if you're not, if you don't get that spark, then

why do you keep going? Because you can talk about it and you can be like, okay, this is cool, this isn't, and you build on it, right? Yeah. Okay, well, what do you think? Is she a bad person for wanting to break up with him? He's not, it's not gelling. Katie, what do you reckon?

Hi, morning, guys. Morning. I honestly don't think she's a bad person. From the sounds of it, her love language, or one of her main languages is probably touch and so her intimacy is really important to her and if she's spoken to him about it before yeah they've been together a year but sometimes it takes a while for people to get completely comfortable in their room and to feel comfortable and express themselves so I think if she just

said something like look I'm not getting everything that I need in this relationship and this is what I need to feel loved and feel satisfied in our relationship. We've been together a year, but we've talked about it a couple of times, but for me, if I'm not getting 100% or, you know, the stuff that I need to feel satisfied in our relationship, then I may have to end it because I want to be satisfied in my relationship. And if you can't provide it to me, then that's not fair in either of them.

Yeah, and then you're giving him a chance and you're not like wasting a whole year because he does like him. You're also not ragging on him with that conversation. You're just saying this is like how I feel and you can never debate someone's feelings. Yeah, no, not at all. I think a lot of people think that being open and honest with someone is going to hurt their feelings. But at the end of the day,

if they're letting you know where they are and being completely transparent with you, you can't be angry at that because that's all anyone wants in a relationship. And yeah, it may be a bit awkward for him because it's about being intimate in the bedroom. But at the end of the day, if you're not both satisfied in a relationship,

then you may not be right together. You know, you can only work on something so much until you're just doing it for the sake of because you've been together a year. She's wise. Wise, wise, Katie. Thank you, Katie. Thank you.

Hannah, what do you think? Is she a bad person for wanting to break up with him? Not at all. This would be a massive red flag for me. Would you have even got a year down the track? Nah. As soon as that conversation happened and they were not wanting to listen to her and not prepared to hear her out and hear what her needs are

and not even prepared to compromise, what else are they not going to be prepared to compromise with in life? Like red flag. Oh, yeah. Do you know that's come through in the text quite a lot, a few people saying red flag as well, because, yeah, is he closed-minded? Do we actually share the same opinion on a lot of things?

But he seems to be good in every other way. She said she loves him and he's good in every other way. But he's not good at listening to her, is he? No, no. If you can't have this conversation i say hey look this is what i really need for this part of my life he's basically saying well no i don't agree and therefore you have to put up with my average intimacy for the rest of your life if they get married okay i've had a text from a guy and he said she needs to be blunt. Take the lead. Some of us males are shy when it comes to changes in the bedroom. Isn't that really sweet?

It is. I'm just a bit shy. Sarah, what do you think? Is she a bad person? Well, I mean, I wouldn't have lasted a couple of months with that. Not because of the situation itself, just because of the fact

that he's not considering her feelings. Like she's unhappy about something. It doesn't matter what it is. However, I do think that she just needs to take charge. Yeah. Like, guys like that. Just take charge. Don't try to change it up too much for where he's uncomfortable, but just sort of take

charge to show him what sort of stuff you're into. He might end up liking it. Maybe he thinks he likes vanilla, but he actually likes strawberry. Oh, honey, no one likes vanilla, trust me. They just haven't tasted the other flavours yet. Yeah, try a different flavour. Exactly. I'm going to get a gumdrop.

Hello. Thank you for your call. Welcome to the show. A long-time friend, sexologist Morgan Penn. Good morning. Oh, atumari, eh? Good morning. Good morning. We thought you'd be perfect to end this on our am I a bad person

segment this morning. Because lots of people said communication and a lot of people said maybe go to a sex therapist. So we were like, we know someone who can help in this predicament. Yes, of course. And do you know what? I have so many clients that come to me with very similar storyline to what's going on here.

And I guess what I would say is we can always get over this kind of a thing. Okay. Actually, one of your very happy clients messaged in and said that they have never looked back. Really? So there's a glowing review on the text machine for your services. Why are you so surprised? I just love that.

It's so cute. So Morgan, because these people have been together a year, she's like, he's obviously great at everything else except in the bedroom. So you can come back from that. Yeah, well, this person, he's clearly got a block of some sort. And I just wonder, especially with men, there's normally like the ego that's wrapped into sexuality.

And so when they're kind of being critiqued like this, it's almost like there's this defense mechanism that comes in. And that could be why he's not willing to actually look at himself because he's going to be exposed for what's really going on behind the scenes. There could be so many things that's limited, like limiting beliefs, religion, so many things that are happening in the background that this person has got no idea, you know, the partner's got no idea about.

So it's just about getting under the surface with this person. But unfortunately, if they're not willing to look at themselves and do the work, then yeah, you're going to come up against this brick wall all the time. But the other part of this is that for the person that is messaged in here is that, you know, the fact is that her pleasure is her responsibility as well. Oh, okay. Yeah, she's talking about she wants all the spice and stuff, but she can't give that to herself.

You know, if she's saying that the relationship's good, which is, you know, it's so hard to find all these really good foundations these days, that's not something to just throw away, you know, when you can actually really excite yourself. Take charge of your own pleasure. Great advice. It's not because I think most people thought, oh, well, this is over.

Get rid of them. Yeah, there was lots of texts saying that they should just get rid of them. Yeah, but we're living in a world where everything's so disposable, right? We get a rip and instead of like sewing it up, we throw it out. Or, you know, like this is what we need to be looking.

Yeah. We need to be looking at where we really can do the work. And, yeah, if the foundations are good, sex is something we don't get. Nobody goes to people like me. Well, they do now. But nobody normally does to like upskill in sex. It's just this world where we think they're either good at it or they're not. The vanilla or the raspberry. But you can evolve

and you can grow together but it is about this open mind. So marriage is a job and everyone needs to upskill. Relationships are a job. Okay. Fantastic. Great advice as per Morgan Penn. How do people find you?

If you're keen to book a session, you can go to my website, morganpenn.co.nz. Otherwise, I'm always sharing so many good gems on the gram, morgan__penn. Penn with two Ns. That's the one. Was Morgan with one underscore Penn, was that taken? That's a personal question.

Yes. Morgan, as always, a pleasure. Thank you. Our fact of the day is next. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Mine is Vaughan today. He's getting his colonoscopy today.

Just. Yeah. So. So we're... Fact of the day jingle, but we will be down the... We're a person down. The mid-tones. I feel exposed.

Yeah. Well, it's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Actually, I feel like everyone can hear how good I am. No, I had to carry you quite a lot then. Yeah, why did we say that? You're slightly off. Today's fact of the day is the original vacuum cleaner was made in 1901 and it took the form of a horse-drawn petrol cleaner. So basically

the first vacuum cleaners up until this point, they blew the dust away. But a guy by the name of Herbert Cecil Booth decided he would come up with the idea of sucking the dust instead of blowing it away. So he built the cleaner. It had a filter, which all vacuum cleaners now are based on his design. Okay. But it was too big. It had to be dragged by two horses to the outside of the building and then would have massive pumps that went into the house. Kind of like when someone bombs on your carpet at the weekend

or spills red wine, you have to get the guy from Jay's Carpet Cleaning to come around on Monday as quick as possible. Yeah. And they park the machine in the van outside and drag in all the tubes. Yeah. Like that.

Pretty much. So that's how you would vacuum your house in 19-oh-something. 19-oh-one. Wow. So yeah, the horses would pull up this huge thing outside your window and then two people were needed to operate the tubes because they were large and they were really heavy. And apparently back in the day people would gather

or like the neighbours would look out to see how much dust and rubbish because it would go into a big glass tank. Oh, right. So the neighbours could see how dirty your house was because it was being sucked through the windows. And that was the original vacuum cleaner. And powered by petrol. So there'd be fumes everywhere.

Like a big generator situation outside your house. Wow. And people could see how often you were vacuuming. And I'm guessing that would have been for the rich too, right? Oh, yeah. 100%. But they wouldn't have done carpets, though. It would have all just been wood floors and rugs.

Wouldn't it? I don't know. How long's carpet been a thing for? When did carpet come about? And you can't imagine they were vacuuming every day. Was this in America? Maybe not even once a week. Carpet rugs were developed like 4,000 to 5,000

years ago, but what about just carpet? Where they put the whole, all over all the house? I don't know. This was in Iowa. Right. Well, that's my – I'm putting that on my to-do list today, the history of carpet. Fascinating stuff.

So today's fact of the day is the original vacuum cleaner was a horse-drawn petrol-powered beast that was outside your house. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. This is interesting. This website has looked into the Sunday Times Rich List. They have taken into account all of the world's elite. So there's like 2,000 billionaires or something like that. And only one Elon?

Yeah. Oh, God, they haven't taken into account Elon's baby name, baby's name. But they've looked into the names for babies who turned out to be billionaires. Okay, right. So, billionaire baby names. So, like, if you want your baby to earn lots of money, look into calling them this. Well, asterisk. I mean, yeah. It could not happen.

There's a lot to do between birth and, you know, the workforce. I mean, it certainly might help if you were born into a family where your parents were billionaires, for example. I mean, sure. But this is a good start if you name your child. Okay. This is broken down into boys and girls. And they've found the most popular names, like the most common.

The top 10 billionaire baby names. Okay, all right. For boys and girls. Okay. No surprise here. Number 10 is Michael. boys and girls. Okay. No surprise here. Number 10 is Michael. For this is boys. Okay.

Rob or Robert is number nine. Bill slash William. Yep. Bill Gates. Yep. Yes. Larry. These are just all like 60 year olds names.

Uh-huh. Jeffrey or Jeff. Mark. James. The top three is John. Alex, and then number one is David. But then these are also just popular names by that generation or with boys anyway, right? Yeah. And really like vanilla.

Very plain. For the girls, it gets a little bit funkier. Isabella is number 10. Linda. There are lots of rich Lindas out there. Apparently so. Wow. So yeah, this is the top 10 billionaire baby names for girls,

what you should call your girl if you want them to be a billionaire. Linda. Rachel. Zara. Okay. Is in the list. Whitney, Sophia, Leonie, Ruth, Jasmine, and then number one is Elizabeth.

Lizzie. Lizzie. Yeah, that list is definitely younger sounding than the guys list. But is that surprising? Is it too late to change your baby's name? I mean, there's no one on the list that's like a Bastion or an August or an Indy. How are half your parents? Because your family, you've got an issue with the pronunciation at the moment, don't you?

I just have all his grandparents saying the name a little bit off. So how is it said? Bastion. Bastion. Like Sebastian. Yeah. How are they saying it? Bastion. Bastion. Bastion. Yeah. Like Sebastian. Yeah. How are they saying it? Bastion.

Bastion. Giving it an extra syllable, I'm like, how do I broach that this isn't quite right? Yeah. But your parents are saying it right. My parents? Yeah. No. Oh, not even them.

No. Oh. Yeah, how do you broach that? Well, you've missed it. I've missed it. It's gone. It's gone for too long now. I know. Oh. Yeah. How do you broach that? Well, you've missed it. I've missed it. It's gone for too long now. It's too long now. I know.

Oh, well. What about if you did it on the radio? Like called your mum and said, mum, funny radio thing. Nah. Oh, no. Okay, because that's always a way to do things as well. No, so that's not possible. What about a note?

Leave a note. But then you have to phonetically spell it out. Don't say Baskin-Law. But then she doesn't hear you saying it. They all hear me saying it. It's different to how they're saying it. You should have named it Bruce. I know, David.

David. These stats come to us from the UK, but you'd imagine it'd be similar here. In 2025, landline phones are going to be scrapped. So there's a few people that are concerned, but most people are like, okay. 6% in the UK, which is around 1.5 million homes, don't have access to the internet. And so that's the main issue. So there's like people who

will struggle to make digital calls yeah that's still a lot 1.5 million homes get a cell phone right yeah i mean i guess you've got the rural areas and places where you can't get cell coverage but then you can get uh satellite internet now yeah and elon Musk, you better get Starlink soon. When was the last time you had a home phone? I was just trying to Google when they made landlines naked, when you could get broadband naked. Because that's what they called it.

Yeah. Because before then, if you wanted the internet, you had to begrudgingly sign up $45 a month or whatever it was to have a phone line, which you never used just so you could get broadband. I remember having

one years ago because we had it because of broadband, but then it would occasionally ring and it would just so I'm like what? What is that? I'm not answering it. It's terrifying when a landline rings. Absolutely not.

But yeah, and then of course you didn't need the phone line. You didn't need to sign up. And then, yeah, I don't know, anyone that has a phone line, a home phone now. Just my parents. And I have to call my home phone because mum's phone is always off and charging. Because she doesn't think that you can charge a mobile when it's on. No, because it's draining the battery. It's using more power. Oh my God. Yeah, so you have to call the home phone to get. But it would just be parents, right? Yeah. So what, you'd

imagine what, they'd get rid of them here at some stage? Yeah. Can you imagine the uproar, though? But then most, would your grand, most people would have a cell phone, most grandparents would have a cell phone now, right? And that's probably what they need. Cut them off so that they turn their phone on and they're reachable. Yeah, like bank branches. Just make them get online and do their banking. Yeah.

They'll learn. Although if you were like that older, you'd never had any kind of exposure to technology. That would be pretty daunting. Pretty daunting. And then hence why they all fall for scams and stuff. But it's pretty simple. It rings and you answer it. And then you dial out a number, right? I mean, it's pretty simple to learn.
