The ZM Podcast Network. Hey! ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello and welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru. And Mick Delivery in level 3 and also dying in at level 2. You may have noticed that we are not Fletch, Vaughan and Megan for the more astute listeners to the show.

Now what's that word? That's not the word I'm looking for. Perceptive? Perceptive that word? That's not the word I'm looking for. Perceptive? Perceptive, yes. That's it. Because they buggered off and forgot to do a podcast intro. So here we are.

Yep. It's Jarrod, Anna and Karwin. We don't get paid enough to do this. Yeah, I'm going to put this in our timesheet with Ross. Yeah, so they were too busy making toasties. Actually, we all had toasties. And they were very tasty. They were good.

My favourite was the Reuben. Yeah, it was hot. Personal favourite of the spaghetti. Cool. And who best? What was your toasty of choice? This is money can't buy chat. I really liked the ham and cheese.

And this is why we're producers. Yep. So for some better chat, keep listening. And here's the thing that's going to go, Fletch Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Megan.

Three minutes past six. It's finally Thursday. I thought it was Thursday yesterday. Yeah, kind of, to be show, Fleach, Vaughan and Megan. Three minutes past six. It's finally Thursday. Thought it was Thursday yesterday. Yeah, kind of. To be honest, bro. Thursday today. Feels like it should be Friday. Yeah.

Feels kind of like 2023 as well. I'm excited though. Behind the scenes here at the show, we've been planning because we've got a bit of work to do after the show finishes today at 9 o'clock. So we thought we'd do a brunch. And not just any brunch, toasted sandwich brunch. Well, usually we'd go to a cafe, wouldn't we? Treat ourselves to a delicious breakfast cooked by somebody else.

But that's not happening. Yeah. And level one. God, I'm so excited about that. And level four. I said one. Level four. That's a distant dream, isn't it? I'm so excited about this.

We've got the Fivum Jack. Fivum Jack. I'm only putting Jared ahead of you for... Acronym. For acronym purposes. The Fivum Jack Toasted Sandwich Cafe is going to be open. Yeah.

We're a non-for-profit. There's been a bit of discussion about creamed corn. Did anyone get creamed corn? No. Oh, shit. I thought you were getting the creamed corn. No, Jared said he was getting the creamed corn.

No, he's getting the poppy orange juice. Don't worry about it, but I... You did. You were worried about it. I was hoping someone would be like, I'll get it. She says no, but she means yes. I'll get a scooter and go to the supermarket and get cream corn.

Okay. I don't care. We're having cream corn toasties. I got home yesterday because I did my shopping on the way home with this little box, and Shade's like, oh, yum. I'm like, hands off. She's like, why? I was like, I'm taking this to work for Toasted Sandwich Day.

She's like, you haven't had Toasted Sandwich Day for us. Well, you're more than welcome to borrow my sunbeam. That's what I said. We don't have a toasted sandwich, mate. You can borrow the sunbeam. It's a fancy one. It's nice. It's got a light.

It tells you when it's ready for, like, it's heated up. Full seal. Full seal. Full seal. And triangles. Yeah, triangles. Oh, it's got to be triangles. Triangles taste better.

Yeah. Yeah. If you eat your sandwiches in squares, you're damn full. Yeah. It's exciting. Very cool. Do you know why it's a small thing? I don't know, actually.

Probably. It's not on the stack. It wouldn't hurt. Hot AF. I bought mayonnaise. Best Foods mayonnaise. Good. I bought Dijonais.

And I bought some sauerkraut. These little things that are getting us through level four here in Auckland. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, Nicki Minaj, it's been pretty big news that she said she's doing her own research on the vaccine because her cousin's friend who lives in... Trinidad? Trinidad. I believe.

After he got the jab, his testicles swelled up massive and his wife-to-be left him. So the top six is the top six better excuses for an obvious STI you got from cheating on your partner than the COVID vaccine. Because doctors have come out and said, that's not a thing. Yeah, you need to go and get some,

I'd say antibiotics at the very least, my friend. Don't you follow a celebrity doctor? Dr. Joshua Woolrich in the UK. If you don't follow him, you need to. He's so sassy and great. And he pretty much said, look, if your balls are swollen, you need to go to the doctor's stat. It has nothing to do with the vaccine. All right, dealing with that soon in the top six.

Next on the show, though, there's been a study done looking at cities and towns where marijuana, where weed is legal, and it's found something interesting in those towns and cities. Now, there's been a study done that looked at towns and cities in the US where weed is legal. And it found that where cannabis is legalized, ice cream and cookie sales go up. There is a... That's the noms of choice. Yeah. Well, just any, it looks like, to be honest,

just looks like any junk food. So in states, monthly sales of junk food increased 3.2 and 4.5% when measured by volume. Right. So in counties located in RML states, that's recreational marijuana. Marijuana. Yeah. Legal.

Sure. Something like that. Monthly sales of high calorie food increased by 3.1% for ice cream, 4.1% for cookies, and 5.3% for... Chippies. Chippies. Yay. That would be mine of choice, chippies.

Yeah. Yeah, dangerously so. But then your mouth's really dry, so you've got to drink a lot of water and then you've cleansed your palate, so it's time for the sweeties, and you knock off a whole pack of tincture. So they say in the study that despite the stone, you know, there's all the stoner stereotypes. The team notes that they couldn't actually find any research or much research on munchies versus weed. Right.

Yeah. So, yeah, they found that this is actually, apart from anecdotal, this is actually finally some hard stats on the munchies. Yeah, so, yeah, they've found that this is actually, apart from anecdotal, this is actually finally some hard stats on the munchies. Yeah, right. And it's a thing. I mean, I guess we all just knew, right? Yeah. But, yeah, they couldn't find any...

No, they just went without saying. Yeah. Imagine that, though. Hi there, we're from the local university. We are looking for someone to come and smoke copious amounts of weed and then see what bickies they feel like. Or if they feel like bickies. It seems like a trap.

Yeah, it does. That's a trap. They did also find that in places where it was legal, it associated with a 12.4% drop in alcohol sales. Okay. Right. So you've got that health problem going down, but then you've got the weed and then the munchies going up.

Yeah. And someone tried to tell me once who liked to partake in a bit of weed that you didn't ever put on weight. That's not true, eh? Were they under 25? Maybe. That's probably why. Yeah.

But then you can't do both, right? So alcohol sales have dropped down. Yeah. Because what's the saying? What's the saying? I don't know. I's probably why. Yeah. But then you can't do both, right? So alcohol sales have dropped down. Yeah. Because what's the saying? What's the saying? I don't know. I don't know. You need to give us some kind of leader.

Booze before grass, you're on your ass. Grass before beer, we're in the clear. There was no way I was going to guess that's the saying you were. Is that what you're saying? I have never heard that saying in my life ever. Neither. Tinder has unveiled a new feature. They are calling this the biggest update since the swipe.

Oh, okay. This is major. It's called Explore, and it allows people on Tinder to arrange matches by their interests. So you can find people who are, you know, more likely to be compatible with you in less time. Yeah, but then I like cats. But then if I say I like cats, and then, like, what if it's like,

this person loves cats, but then they love, love, love cats. Yeah. Like, they've got 10 cats. You have to be careful with, like, what you list as your hobbies, I think. Like I love photography, but do I want to go and take photos around the city every weekend? No. Talk about F-stop.

Aperture. Aperture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Depth of field. But you can be like, you can match with people who like photography, who dabble in. They would list it as an interest, maybe not like a profession. So you can do like foodies, social causes, music lovers.

Yeah, I do a lot of charity. So obviously charity would be up there for me. And then I'll be coupled with other like-minded charitable folk. And then somebody matches with you and then you spend all your weekends doing charity. You wouldn't do that. I already do. What? Like what?

Mowing the lawns and staying at home is not charity. At the moment, staying home is charity. It's a form of charity. Entrepreneurs and gamers as well have like their own little section. Oh, right. So, yeah. But I don't know. Like, it's just going to link people that are,

like if you're a heavy gamer, you meet up with another heavy gamer. Like, I don't know. You meet people that are different to you and you branch out opposite the track. Yeah. But yeah, a lot of people are already really happy with this.

80% of the eligible members tried it and were like, yes, this is cool. So, yeah, the idea is when you're, like they come top of. Right, okay, they're the first ones that come up for Swipe. Yeah, the ones that have similar interests to you. Nice. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The movie is Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings. It is in cinemas outside of Auckland today and we're joined on the show by one of the stars of the movie, Awkwafina. Hello. Hi, how are you guys? Great. Great, great. This is, we're just kind of getting used to these,

the world of movie junket interviews on Zoom. We've done a few now, so. How are you finding them? It's nice. It's nice. It's all right. It's easy. I had to go so high pitched on that one.

You found it like a lie. I found it like, yeah, it's nice. It's nice. How about you go so high-pitched on that one. It felt like a lie. It felt like, yeah, it's nice. It's nice. How about you? How do you enjoy them? Because, I mean, I don't know where you are. That's a black background that could be a chalkboard at a local school or a cupboard. I don't know where I am either.

I'm going to be – I'm in New York. I know that for sure. I'm somewhere – yeah, I'm in New York right now. But, yeah, I mean, you know, it's nice because, like like literally you don't have to wear pants if you don't want to. But then also, you know, the allure of being together in the same room, you know, which is nice. Yeah. I wish I was there right now. Yeah.

Because you'd done movies with interviews and junkets beforehand. And was there a lot of traveling involved in those movies prior to this? Yeah. Yeah. A lot of traveling. It's yeah. to this? Yeah. Yeah, a lot of traveling. It's, yeah. I mean, it's a big thing. And we're coming back now, kind of.

So it's the realest junket I've been through in probably like maybe two years. So, yeah. How are you finding the feedback to the movie so far? Well, I mean, I think people are really enjoying it. I went to two screenings of it. I went to the premiere in LA and I went to we had one in London the other day and yeah, people seemed really

excited. So I'm really happy with it. I'm excited. I loved it. Yeah, people are itching for the return of like the big blockbuster Marvel films at the movies, right? We need to see them on the big screens with music as loud as possible. Yes, yes. Everything's blasting.

Yes. So how does your character, Katie, fit into the story? Because I mean, we've just, in New Zealand, to kind of give you the backstory, we've just, we had another kind of a COVID lockdown. So we had the movies and everything for months when lots of places around the world didn't. Oh, you guys had movies? Yeah, we had movies. In movies. In the movie theaters.

But now it's gone back, so we haven't had a chance to see the preview of the movie. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. I play Shang-Chi's best friend,ie and i and i um go along with him pretty much into this like on this crazy adventure or journey rather um because i don't

know much about his past and and i come to find out that he is quite the past so yeah quite the past but no i mean you're going into it with no powers he has no power magical rings and powers and everything yeah you know anyone needs a lemonade or anything you know you're right i'm your girl yeah you're running for refreshments in this crazy world that he finds himself living in yes right no it's been a lot of fun, though. And you've been super busy. Was this filmed in lockdown or was this filmed before lockdown or during and after? It happened a little bit in the middle, actually. I think it was something that I think we all kind of had to go through together. And coming back, I think we were really lucky in that we were able to kind of had to go through together. And coming back, I think, you know,

we were really lucky in that we were able to kind of proceed. We were filming mostly in Sydney, Australia. So, you know, similar to, I guess, you know, your guys, it wasn't, you know, it was under control. So, yeah, it was a good time. Well, we're really looking forward to seeing it. Hopefully cinemas can open again so we can have it as large as possible and as loud as possible.

Awkwafina, who plays Katie in Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings, thanks so much for your time. Thank you. Nice to meet you guys. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Sweet Tooth, season two, shooting eight episodes in New Zealand. How good was that show? Wholesome.

So good. So wholesome. I mean, I know it was set in the midst of a pandemic, but. Yeah, a really bad one. Yeah. Yeah. But I loved just spotting Kiwi, like the zoo was in there and you're like. Yeah, there was a bit just up the road from my house.

Right. But they CGI'd it to make it look like real overrun. I was like, it's not like that. We take pride in our neighbourhood. We know it's not like that. We take pride in our neighbourhood. We know it's not like that. Also, that's like the Northern Club. That's like the poshest, bloody rich people hanging out in Auckland. Yeah. So given that they're shooting eight episodes in New Zealand,

they have put out a casting call. This was published on the National Foundation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing and they're looking for a diverse range of talent. It says, we are looking for talented kids who may be deaf, hearing impaired,

hard of hearing, and kids versed in New Zealand sign language. Character is six years old, nine years old, male and female, and any ethnicities. It is a strong, reoccurring guest star. Ooh.

So yeah, they obviously feature a bit in season two. When did they film season one? 2018? Because that kid is going to be gigantic now, right? Nah. Is he not? He's not.

I follow him on socials. He's one of those people that isn't changing a bunch. He's going to be a small person. Not a small, like a smaller... You know your friend that was like tiny and intermediate, but that was them? Yep, that guy. But then they get to high school and they go...

Well, they get to an age where you've got to get all your filming done before they go like Dewey off Malcolm in the Middle. Remember him? He looked like eight forever. And then one day he was like, I'm an adult now. We're like, whoa, what happened? It's the same with Malcolm of Malcolm in the Middle. Basically, any child star, they must do a blood test on them or something.

How many years of filming can we get before you're just like, you need to be recast? Yeah. But they have also encouraged actors who are transgender and non-binary to apply as well. And filming for season 2 scheduled between January and June 2022. Oh okay.

Which sounds ages away. But it's not. It's not. I think they must be building those sets because they filmed it at the QMU film lot down the road and they had all the Lord of the Rings sets up. They were massive and they built like this wall of shipping containers

so you couldn't, I couldn't, take photos over the fence. And, but they've pulled all them down. They can piss off. They're not even welcome back here. I don't want them back here.

Yeah, Lord of the Rings has moved to the UK, hasn't it? Bro. Very. So, they'll be building

some new stuff there. Right. So I wonder if it's that or like Cowboy Bebop got a second series even before the first series is out. So there's a few projects going on. So enough for you to be nosy, Kat. Oh, so much.

Keep us up to date. Yeah. From the exotic ZM think tank, this is the top six. Oh, there's been some good stuff. There's been some good stuff come out of the back of this. Nicki Minaj tweeted that she wasn't going to rush in to get the vaccine because her cousin's friend back home in Trinidad and Tobago, he had it and then his testicles became swollen and his partner called off their wedding.

And left him. Yeah. And the wedding was off. Yeah, it does sound like that's the excuse he gave his partner. Yeah. And the memes have flown thick and fast, including a nice tie-in to a show we've all watched and we all liked, White Lotus, the opening credits,

where it's scanning through that tropical wallpaper and there's a pair of mangoes hanging beside each other. So, Steve, I was not saying that. Are those them? Very tropical, very swollen sounding. That's pretty good. There was an episode

of South Park where Randy, the dad, has very swollen balls and wheels and ran in a wheelbarrow and it says this is Nicky's cousin's friend

walking down the streets of Trinidad after he got the vaccine. Boris Johnson was yesterday asked at a press conference about the Nicky Minaj tweet. Just on that Steve, I'm not familiar with the works or not as familiar with the works of

Nicky Minaj as I probably should be but I am familiar with Nicky Kanani, superstar GP of Bexley who's appeared many times before you, who will tell you that vaccines are wonderful and everybody should get them. Just hearing him say,

Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj. Yeah. And you follow a celebrity doctor on TikTok, and he's... Dr. Joshua Woolrich. He's from the UK. He's definitely worth a follow.

But yeah, he said that's a load of rubbish. Yeah. He's a practicing doctor in the UK. Other good tweets. To the window, to the walls, to the Vaxwells up my balls. Good. Somebody said,

I thought the wildest story about someone's cousin was someone's cousin that works at the Pentagon that had state secrets. But I guess this one takes the cake. Yeah, just look. It's endless. Have a little search.

Nicki Minaj, cousins, balls, memes. The rest is there's a GQ article. The headline is Nicki Minaj's cousins, friends, balls, explained. It's just sad though

that she's got 8 million followers and that people will believe this. And quite like intense followers, too. Yeah. But she has said in the past people should get vaccinated.

So if you are listening to Nicki Minaj, she is also at the same time promoting getting the vaccine. And she said she'll probably have to get it because she's touring. Yeah. Tucker Carlson from Fox News has invited Nicki Minaj's cousin's friends on his show to talk about his swollen testicles. He put out a public appeal to say, I'd like to talk to you about it. So it's all go.

But the top six today is the top six better excuses for an obvious STI you got from cheating than blaming the COVID vaccine. Yeah. Number six, go old school. You got it from the toilet seat. Hello? Crabs, chlamydia, herpes. Has that ever happened to anyone? From the toilet seat. Hello? Crabs, chlamydia, herpes. Has that ever happened to anyone? From the toilet seat.

That's why if you use a public toilet, you always put down the toilet paper on the seat. The herpes barrier. Yeah, and make it a little barrier. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six better excuses for an obvious STI you got from cheating rather than blaming the COVID vaccine.

They've always been that size. Lie. Say that it's always been that color or always had that scab. That's just, you can lie about these sorts of things. Don't blame the Pfizer vaccine because your friend's cousin, Nicki Minaj, is going to tweet about it and probably put some people off getting the vaccine and slow this whole process down. Number four on the list of the top six better excuses

for an obvious STI you got from cheating on your partner rather than blaming the COVID vaccine. Blame the person that you're with. Say they must have given it to you. That's a hoot. What a fun game some people play when they're like, well, you obviously gave it to me. when they're like, well, you obviously gave it to me. And they're like, well, definitely not

because I put down the toilet paper on the toilet seat before I sat down that or I hover. So there's no way I could have. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six better excuses for an obvious STI you got from cheating on your partner rather than blaming the COVID vaccine. Tell them this is God's way of telling you to leave them

because obviously this is your fault. Hashtag I'm a virgin. Okay. You should always hashtag any breakups with I'm a virgin. Just to let them know. Number two on the list of the top six better excuses for an STI, for getting an STI rather than blaming the COVID vaccine. You must have got it from the public pools.

Not enough chlorine. Not enough chlorine in the pool. I don't know if that's a thing, but sure. Somebody with something's been swimming around and, yeah, enough chlorine in pools. I don't know if that's a thing, but sure. And somebody with something's been swimming around. Yeah, blame the public pools. And number one on the list of the top six better excuses for an obvious STI you got from chatting on your partner rather than blaming the COVID vaccine. It must have been that koala that I held in Australia that time.

Yeah. They've got both types of chlamydia. Because I just Googled what can give you swollen balls. STIs, gonorrhea, chlamydia. Mumps. There's an, I don't know. Can they? I remember that.

They always put up the photo of the mumps in the face, but the mumps hit the balls pretty hard too, as I recall. Epididymitis is often caused by a bacterial infection including STIs. Yeah. So I think he's just been outed to millions of people around the world as having an STI.

Pain and swelling of the testicle. One in four males will get mumps after puberty. I wonder how many cousins she has. Yeah. And how many friends those cousins have. Because you know before this, all of those cousins were saying, oh, Nicki Minaj, she's my cousin. She's my cousin.

She's my cousin. Not anymore. It would be like if Sonny Bill Williams or The Rock were like, my cousin. Everyone would be like, is this going to be good or bad? Is this going to be good or bad? Has got an STI. Must be one of the other ones. Not me.

That's today's top six. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Well, stats released to RNZ under the Official Information Act have shown an increase of cheating at universities in New Zealand. I guess in the past 18 months, a lot of exams have gone online. Does that make it easier? Well, if you're doing an exam online, what's to stop you just having another window open

and you Google everything? I thought they had some kind of way to stop that. Plagiarism, right? Seems obvious. Yeah, but it's got to be setting off that. There's a software system that scans through. Yeah, but that's if you're writing an essay, right? But if you're answering questions,

like a Māori choice or a question about something... I thought most exams these days were like open book or online. Well, whatever they class as cheating, there has been a 458% increase

in cheating at Lincoln University last year, five times higher than before the pandemic. Other university figures show five out of the eight universities had an increase in cheating last year. University of Waikato, 134% increase in academic misconduct in 2020 compared to 2019. So that must mean they were caught cheating, right? Yeah.

So that's only the ones they caught. Yeah. But you're not cheating until you get caught. Think about that. That's Vaughan Smith philosophy right there. You're only cheating if you get caught. That's like saying it's not illegal unless you get caught. Bingo, it's not.

Victoria University of Wellington had a 180% increase. Massey, 110% increase. And University of Canterbury, a 204% increase. Jeez. Sounds like Massey's lying about their stats. 110%. Yeah. Wow.

But that's, Carl Wayne at the social media, your flatmate was doing online exams. Yeah, and they had to, they had some real intense ways of stopping cheating. So she had to download the software through like a call with some official people. And it could track all the movement. So if she moved, if she got out her phone, if she left the room, if she opened another tab on her computer. I could see everything. She doesn't store spyware. Yeah, that's some

China surveillance there. You know how they like surveil everyone and there's a million cameras and you get docked points. And also, I don't want that on my computer. What if I want to look up some naughty stuff later? I guess you deleted it afterwards. Your tutors at home, all of a sudden they're getting notifications. It's like, Vaughan Smith's

furiously moving. And he's currently on, gosh, oh no, turn it off Disconnect, disconnect No, don't load up the camera And I imagine there's a recording of that, right? Yeah You probably just get distracted during the exam If I finish early

Yeah That's a little treat for me So what would happen if she did move? I guess they flag it and then go look back at her results or whatever. Get to mark down or yeah. See that's what I thought they were doing. I thought they had some

fancy stuff to stop you cheating. It's a very big brother. It is. Yeah. And I'd still be tempted. It's right there. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I'd have an earpiece.

Oh, no, they track your move. I'm just trying to find ways around it. No, you wouldn't be able to move with an earpiece. Can you have another laptop? Yeah, monitor your screen till you're flatmate in the lounge. Yeah. And then have an earpiece. Yeah.

Your earbuds in. Yeah. And then they are reading and googling and telling you through the earpiece. Or like that time of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Cough.

Yeah. Yeah. And it was C for three coughs. Yeah, you did three. That is C. That is wild it actually happened.

On Who Wants to Be a Millionaire back in the day. Yeah, there's a there's a Netflix series or a special about it isn't there? On one of the streaming services? There is. There's a whole investigation into a special about it, isn't there? On one of the streaming services? There is.

There's a whole investigation into it. And they look back at the people who did it. Cheeky. Ballsy. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The police in Leeds have spoken to the Yorkshire Evening Post and said, look, the youths here are giving us trouble. They are partaking in a new trend called beaning.

Now, have we seen beaning here in New Zealand? Or is this just in the UK at the moment? I haven't seen a case of beaning yet. Because you know when Jeremy and Hilary are talking about it on 7 Sharp, we've got a problem. Yeah. So beaning consists of people throwing open cans of baked beans across properties. What?

And it's enough of a problem. We're not even opening the beans, just hiffing. No, no, no, they open the beans. Because the beans have got to come out. I'm down for that. And that's beaning. And, yeah, tip them over properties. So, this is enough of an issue

that the police have told the local paper and said hey. Is there photos? No, not in this story. Are you googling if you can see any photos? No, I'm googling how much baked beans are at like Tesco's. It's still very wasteful. We're going to do that here. It is wasteful.

If you're going to do that here Obviously it would only be oak Or like a home brand Absolutely I'm starting to feel sorry for oak Don't you feel sorry for oak? They did it to themselves They did it to themselves They taste like junk

30p So what's that? Like 60 cents? 60 cents For a can of Beans That's your Tesco bag How much is an egg?

Because you used to throw eggs But one egg wouldn't do, but one can might do. Pretty poor egg, you're not too far off. That. Eggs. Tesco eggs. Can I read you the statement from...

Oh, please do. This is a Morley Police Community Support Officer, Michelle. Yeah. She has put a statement out and said, it has come to the attention of the police that a new trend has been started by some youths called beaning. This involves youths throwing the contents of a can of beans

over properties very similar to the trend of throwing eggs at properties. If you work in a shop, please can you be aware of youths buying large quantities of cans of beans? If you have children living at home, please be mindful if you see them removing cans of beans from the family home. Oh, you've got to be careful, don't you? And ask them what they plan to do with them.

What are you going with those beans? There's going to be another thing that you have to get behind the locked counter with the spray paint. It'll be spray paint and baked beans. But usually like spray cans, there's only six or eight cans back there. Yeah. But baked beans, it would be a lot. It would be a lot. Especially the British, they love a bean.

It's an essential part of a full English breakfast. Yeah. But yeah, lots of people taking it very seriously. Someone said beans means fines. Good. And do catch up. This Heinz been going on for years. Yeah. Good, good. That's Heinz been going on for years. Yeah.

Good, good. That's good. Producer Jared just found that this is from a community page in Britain. Yeah. Crime in the Burnley and surrounding areas. Wayne Butterworth, which if there's a more British name, I will wait to hear it, says, Seems we were targeted by a bean bomb last night between 9 and 9.30.

Although he uses military time. 2,100 and 2,130 on Parliament Street. Made a hell of a bang at the door. Woke up my two infants up scared. No idea why. Just wanted to inform people and ask if anyone else has had it, hoping just kids. So that's a bean bomb.

He's been bean bombed, yeah. His doorstep's just covered in beans. But what are you putting a firecracker in the beans? Yeah, I don't know. Because there's no mark on the door where that's at the door. I think he's just given it a fancy name. Yeah, I think he's just had a can of beans. Bloody hell, we've been bean bombed.

It's very fast moving. It's very, very quick. That, I think the world's most chaotic game show is too chaotic for me. It's very fast moving. It's definitely a ride. It's very, very quick. That's why everyone's got to be on their toes thinking about it. Thanks everybody for playing. Congratulations, Ashley.

Winner. One winner. The most chaotic game show ever. Wow, thank you. See? See how stoked she is? She's overwhelmed. What?

And Wheel of Fortune, did you ever see Jason Gunn let people pick their own prize? Never. You went, there was a die-hats or terrier, so whether you liked it or not. Oh, my goodness. Wow, you can tell over the moon. Well, thank you, Ashley.

ZDM, Splashbone and Megan. There's been a study that looks into how you knew your partner was the one. And half of the people surveyed said it was very quick. So they only surveyed people who had been with their partner for over six years, because you know those people, everyone knows Simburu, one of those people that falls in love really easy. Okay.

And it's like the flame burns hot. And it's been three weeks and they're engaged. And then it burns out. And then they take a break and they're not going to do that again and then they're going to have some time to themselves and then straight back into it. Spoiler alert. They do it again. Yeah. We all know one of them.

Our friends like that. And we're like just slow it down this time I reckon. And they're like no it's different this time. It's different. I don't know what's going to happen this time. And then it's not different that time. So they had to be with them for six years and then the typical respondent said two years to decide whether or not they

wanted to be with their partner for the rest of their lives. That was the average. But some people much, much quicker than that. Factors include affectionate. Yeah. If you're an affectionate partner. Some people believed they grew together over time. They needed that time to see if their partner would show them commitment.

Yeah. And also they needed to learn to be better towards each other. That's an interesting one. I hadn't really, right, thought about that. But there was a percentage they think that about half believed after being with their partner for six years that it was kind of like love at first sight. Crazy, eh? So as soon as they saw them, they were like, this is the one.

I don't know if I believe in love at first sight. See, sight is one thing. There's lust at first sight. Yeah, that's what it is. Damn, shorty. What was it like when Mr. Toyboy came into the studio for that radio competition? Was it love at first sight? Well, because...

He was cute at first sight. Because obviously, like, it was a boy band, so they were all pretty cute. What? I don't think so. Not all of them. Not to my taste. Well, they were in your taste. Not to my taste.

It was a boy band, so. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. I'm heterosexual. Duh. But we all made comments that he had beautiful eyes. He did have beautiful eyes. He did, yeah.

But that was very much like... So it was love his eyes at first sight. Yeah. It's just like lust at first sight. It's lust, right? It's a physical attraction. You don't know enough about the person. Exactly.

In hindsight, it's very easy to say that it was love at first sight. That's what I thought too. It's easy. Oh, yes, it was definitely love at first sight. No, no, no, no, no. You're too far down the track now. It's easy to romantic, yes, it was definitely love at first sight. No, no, no, no, no. You're too far down the track now. It's easy to romanticise this. The attraction was there at first sight.

Yeah. Yeah. Last thing for it. I always see this all the time, all the time. You're like, hot, I must have it. And then you're like, actually, bored, don't want it. Yes. Do I put you in the recycling bin?

What do I do with you now? You've got to make sure there's no, like, bits at the bottom. The recycling bin? Yeah. What? You've got to clean out all the bottles. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then pop them in the recycling bin.

And a special truck comes around and gets them. Yep. Sure. I like those stories, though, when people know someone's the one because of something they do or say. Yeah. Those are the stories you love, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Producer Jared has piped in. Okay. Is he going to start the ball rolling? Yeah, with the middie ball. You know, they got in hot and fast, didn't they? Yeah, they did. Like, date.

Moved in within three months. They've got a four-year-old now. They've only known each other for a year. Yeah, it's like they're listening to a podcast on triple speed. I don't think they're actually defying time itself with how quick their relationship's moving. He said, I knew she was a goody when she whipped out her vape and started ripping fat clouds.

On the first date. That is disgusting, Jerry. What scent? I like how he says, I knew she was a goody. He stopped short of saying, I knew she was the goody He stopped short of saying I knew she was the one The one Yeah Peach ice

Peach ice tea Okay Yuck What? I didn't know Lipton Was doing vape vapors If you like Lipton ice tea drink You're gonna love

Lipton ice tea vape juice Smoke your peach ice tea So we want to take your calls this morning on 0800 DARS at M. We want you to text as well, 9696. How did you know your partner was the one? Like, obviously not love at first sight, but something they did or they said

or the way they acted, you were like, yeah, okay, that, they're the one. Yeah. He or she is the one. We want to know, after a study has shown that 50% of people believe it was love at first sight,

how you knew that your partner was the one? Some text messages in. We'll take some calls next. What attracted me to my husband was his ridiculously creased T-shirt. Like it had been living at the bottom of his bag for a week. Oh, no, creased. No, creased. Not meticulously creased.

It's been ridiculously creased. Absolute polar opposite ends of the ironing spectrum. Right, right. We were living in London, and it was just full of guys who all they cared about was how they looked. Oh, okay, yeah. Full of very, very vain people. So I was so impressed that this guy just didn't care about the way he looked,

and he was very interested in other people. However, 17 years on, I'm kind of wishing he did know how to work an eye out. Hey, that's on you for seeing a do-up there. Yeah, yeah, you saw her. We're at the Rugby Sevens and his outfit was a tiny pink sports bra and a tutu. And he had a line-up of older ladies wanting to take pictures with him

and he treated each lady like it was their first day at Disneyland and he was polite and sweet to them and I thought, that's my guy. Aww. Isn't that nice? Yeah, that's my guy. Aww. Isn't that nice? Yeah, that's really sweet. I thought you were going to say

you saw his testicles hanging up the side of his shorts or something and you were like, that's pretty good. She didn't say she didn't. That's a pretty good ball. Yeah, she didn't say she didn't. That was the way he treated everybody and the ladies with respect.

That is hot. And the pink sports. And the bra probably showed off the good pecs. Yeah, probably saw the curve of his moment in 2-2 as well. All right, do you need a moment? Keep your texts coming in. This song should be long enough. We're talking about when you knew your partner was the one.

Was there one time, one activity that made you think, oh, yeah, this is my forever person? Yeah. Some responses on the gram, because we asked there. Catherine writes, we were walking home on our first date in the freezing cold and he pulled out his blue simple cordon hala. Sexy. See what, like, yeah.

Him or her? He's not running far from me. Yeah, I know. He's not going to run away. I'll be able to catch him. I've just got to maintain a constant speed and then his lungs will end up doing the rest

So she wasn't like puffing and he's like he had some of those I don't know if he was offering it to her or if he was just like Oh yeah sorry about that it just cold really gets to me

I knew he was the one when he went to prison three days after we got together Ha ha they they say. Seriously, though, we're married now. Okay. When was he going to prison? Was it a little bit of light white collar crime?

No word there. Just some like, you know, just some fraud, some tax fraud. I knew he was the one when it was Mother's Day and he messaged my mum saying he hoped she had a good day. Oh. It was just like a nice little thing. I didn't ask him to do it. He just did it on his own accord.

Amy, how did you know he was the one? We went out for lunch for a second date. I was going for a big drive to visit some family after the lunch and walked me to my car. It was all cute. And he just like without prompt opened the blotunter and checked my

oil for me. Before the big drive. Had he... That's a risky manoeuvre mate. Because I would imagine some females could find that a little bit condescending. Yeah. I loved it. It was adorable. Okay, so he read the room.

If I was in a car family, I'd be like, I'll catch that. Don't you dare check those tyre pressures. Had he noticed It was adorable. Okay, so he read the room. I come from a car family. I'd be like, okay, sit up. Yeah, right. I've checked it. Thank you. Don't you dare check those tyre pressures. Had he noticed your oil light was on, though, like in the car before? Yeah, maybe when you pulled up, you were blowing blue smoke. He was like...

Oh, she hasn't had oil for weeks. No, I'm not quite that useless, but no, he just did it. It was nice. It was the thought that counts. Yeah, right. It was being sweet. It's so hard to get in that little hole, so it's good that he did that. Yeah, dirty hands.

Yeah. You're going to pour it in the little hole? You take the stick out and pour it in the little hole? No. No, you put it in the, you put it, there's a thing on the top that says 710. I don't know what 710 stands for. But you undo 710 and then you pour the oil in there. I think you count to between 7 and 10 bugs.

Okay, right, yeah. I was thinking Repco would have tiny funnels. Well, they do have funnels, but it's not for that. Okay, right. Thanks, Amy. Bit of an odd one, but I knew my partner and I were meant to be together when we did the sunrise walk in Bali up Mount

Batur. My partner's bowels were plying up. Oh, no, Bali belly. Bali belly. And my partner had to shit towards the top of the volcano and I had tolying up. Oh, no, barley belly. Barley belly. And my partner had to shit towards the top of the volcano and I had to stand guard. At that point, I realised there's no going back as we've seen each other at our worst. Yeah. So that was it. I figured if I can guard him while he's doing his shit in our volcano,

we can do it. Granddad, how did you know Grandma was the one? Well, I had a rough guts. I had to poop on the son of a volcano, and she made sure nobody saw my poopies. And that's when I let you. Wow. Nan was for me.

My husband and I didn't like each other when we first met. Oh, okay. But a few weeks later, friends said, I think you guys would get on. They were right. We went on a date, and the next morning, hello, first night's sleepover, he said, we should start planning our wedding. And that just made me laugh so much.

I was like, he's my guy. And how many kids we wanted. I don't know if they're married. I didn't hear from that person if they are married yet. No follow-up there? Yeah. Somebody said, I knew my partner was the one when he came to a family dinner

and my rough as guts family started giving him shit and he gave it back to them just as well without offending anybody. Oh yeah, okay. Like a light roast. Yeah.

Yeah. I knew, I knew. I found the one when he started in a boy band and then went on to be like a fashion icon and then serenaded me in a lace suit

and wrote that awesome song Falling. Harry Styles? Okay, cool. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm talking about Harry Styles. But he didn't do that to you. Well, how do you know?

You're having those dreams again, aren't you? It could have been for me. Megan, snap back to reality. Oop, there comes Rabbit, right? I don't know what he's saying. Most things can be solved with an Eminem rap. and snap back to reality. Oop, there comes Rabbit. Right? What am I saying? Most things can be solved with an M&M wrap. I knew my husband was the one. Went on the first date, he looked me straight in the eye

and then I saw him lift a butt cheek and fart and then give me a little smile. No. I like that he lifted. He didn't even like, suddenly like roll forward on the chair and squeeze it out the back. That's a risky game

because that one can give the old vibrato. Yeah. On the way out. Or if it sounds sloppy, they're not going to find that funny. Are they? No. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Vaccines, it's a divisive topic even though it shouldn't be.

And this study was done in America and they asked if they'd ever, anyone had ever ended a friendship because of their stance on vaccines. Yeah, and if you want us to stop talking about vaccines, this is really simple. You just get vaccinated and then we will. I promise when everybody's vaccinated, we'll never talk about it again. I promise.

That's a good deal. That's a Vaughan Smith guarantee. It's a good deal. Take it to the bank, baby. Yeah. So 16% of respondents have gotten rid of three friends from their lives. But on average, one in seven say they have lost a friend

because the friend didn't want to get vaccinated. One in seven. Where's that poll? Is that overseas? That's America. That's America. So we ran our own poll on Instagram. Yeah.

Would you say results are similar to one in seven? I'm not good at stats Okay Well you hit us And then we'll Vaughn and I Who are also bad at maths Will

The question was Have you lost a friend Over a vaccination 87% said no So 13% Said they have Right Okay

Similar Ash Isn't it Maybe Yeah That equates to 752 People saying yes They have lost a friend Right. Okay, similar-ish, isn't it? Maybe, yeah. That equates to 752 people saying yes, they have lost a friend. Wow.

That's a lot. But then there are, and I know so many people that have a friend that doesn't want to get the vaccine and it's just easier, they've maybe started to talk about it or tried to talk about it and then just for the sake of the friendship because they're a really good friend, they just don't talk about it. I'm so thankful I'm not in that position because I just don't know how you avoid that chat. Yeah. Like, I don't know.

I just feel like if I had a really staunch anti-vaxxer in my life, you'd lose respect for them. Totally. And there goes the friendship. Yeah. It's like having an ACT voter in the family. I got a message yesterday that said, Hey, I'm a final medical year student

that has recently become a vaccinator. Firstly, thank you. Oh, yeah, thank you for your information. I can't offer any incentive, but getting in touch to say I've been working at the Airport Park and Ride Vaccination Centre, 42 Versamil Drive. Now, for no other reason, incentive uh but getting in touch to say i've been working at the airport park and ride vaccination center 42 verisimil drive now for no other reason that's fun to say where are you off to i'm off to

the vaccination center at verisimil drive okay yeah if that convinces one person to get the vaccine i'll be happy with it yeah um 42 verisimil drive i will open seven days a week no bookings required uh it has actually been quite a disappointing uptake we've got the capacity 42, a versatile drive. We're open seven days a week. No bookings required. It has actually been quite a disappointing uptake. We've got the capacity for 6,000 vaccinations a day, but hitting about 1,000. Oh, right. And this is in Auckland.

This is the airport parking road. There's nothing to do in Auckland. Like, get in the car and get it if you haven't. Yeah, because you get to go for a drive to a versatile, versatile drive. Get it if you haven't. Yeah, because you get to go for a drive to Versamo. Versamo Drive. But yeah, that's not having the capacity of what we've got. I heard from somebody also who worked in Christchurch saying since I went to level two, young people who just haven't been getting vaccinated.

Yeah, so I saw the stat yesterday. So more than 70% of the eligible population have had their first vaccine dose and 36% have had the second. Under 40, the uptake has been really low. the eligible population have had their first vaccine dose and 36% have had the second. Under 40, the uptake has been really low. This is how we get out of it. Is it because under 40s are like, well, I'm younger.

It's only an old person issue. Yeah. There's no rush for me. But then in Australia... But this is how we get out of lockdowns. If that's all you're worried about, like your own freedom, that's how we get out of this. Like even if you don't care about other people, which you should. Yeah, like New South Wales, a 20-year-old died the other day.

Yeah. Or the people in the hospital in New Zealand this time around. It's not the old people it was last time. It's young people and people with pre-existing health conditions sometimes that they didn't even know they had. Yeah. So I shared it on the gram because I'm like, if nothing else,

I'm a taxpayer and I don't like to see tax money go to waste too much. So I was like, well, if we're buying these vaccines, it's about time they went to somebody's home.

And also like we're sick of being in level four and level two. Are there a hundred reasons why it's a great idea to get vaccinated? If we can get the population to 80, 90% vaccinated,

like it's going to be a lot easier to open things up. Somebody replied saying, oh, I've done my research going to be a lot easier to open things up. Somebody replied saying, oh, I've done my research. I'm like, fantastic. Here we go. And they said there's as much active COVID virus

in vaccinated person's nose as an unvaccinated person's nose. And I said, yeah, sure. But there's also studies that show that the symptoms are far less. So you're far less likely to spread it by sneezing and coughing on surfaces in different people. And sure, it will spread,

but if the person you're spreading to is also vaccinated, those are two less people who are far more likely to be hospitalized. Yeah. So unvaccinated people, like in America, if you look at the statistics of people who are dying and clogging up hospitals, it's unvaccinated people.

Sure, there's vaccinated people in hospitals. Far, far less of them. Far, far less of them. So for no other reason than think of someone you know, an old person who might have a heart attack. Completely unrelated. They might be vaccinated. But then they get to the hospital,

and the hospital's full of people who weren't vaccinated because they mucked around. Well, that's exactly what's happening in America. Think about anyone in your family who has a legitimate illness and needs to go to the hospital's full of people who weren't vaccinated because they mucked around. Well, that's exactly what's happening in America. Think about anyone in your family who has a legitimate illness and needs to go to the hospital and it's clogged up with unvaccinated people who are suffering from COVID. Your nan dies on a gurney in a hospital hallway. I don't want to be too grim about it and it's starting to sound a little bit preachy and I can recognise that so I'm going to back off a little bit, but that's not a very nice way for grandma to leave this earth. Same goes if someone's having

a baby and they get to the hospital and they have wild complications, something that's outside of the traditional birthing unit problem and they need to be taken to another area. Guess what? The ice are useful of people who didn't get vaccinated or didn't even try to be part of a functioning society. It just kind of annoys me that here we are. And I got so many, because I shared it,

I got so many positive responses. I would say probably 120 responses. Yep. 118 of them were like, yes, this is done. I've had my first jab. I've had my second jab. Three people tried to come in and be like, I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but then put in some anti-vax stuff.

Yep. I'm in no hurry because I don't need to go overseas yet. That's what one person said. And I was like, just get it done. Here's like a fear for me. So I've got a seven-month-old and he can't talk and we're also not aware if there is any underlying illnesses for someone that young that could develop later.

What if he gets COVID? What if a baby gets COVID and you're not aware of these underlying illnesses and they end up in hospital because you don't want to get the vaccination? Well, a woman on our community page, someone just asked saying, has anybody had COVID?

I'd be really interested to know. And she said, I had it and my 11 month old got it. And that is horrible. That's terrifying. Horrible to watch it. And the mutations are just getting worse and worse and worse and worse. Like Delta's so much worse. Remember when it first came out?

And I went, oh, people at a Tool concert may have been exposed. And a guy was like, I think three cases came out of that. Imagine if it was Delta now, the whole thing would be ripped through. So it's just, this isn't just, don't dilly dally. Someone messaged in saying that they are back at work now. They weren't eligible to get vaccinated and then it went back to level two. So they're back at work and they're struggling to find it. Well, that I can understand.

Book it. Yeah. Book it, get it done. If your work is not letting you leave work to be vaccinated, your work's a shit place to work and you should probably be looking for a new job anyway. So, yeah, a little bit cranky that we've been locked up in level four and still in level four. So let's...

Also, somebody messaged me saying, I can't get vaccinated and I feel like I'm being targeted. I feel like I'm the bad guy. We're doing this for you. If you legitimately have a medical reason to not be vaccinated, we're doing this for you. I feel for you. Yeah. This chat always excludes you. If you legitimately have a medical reason to not be vaccinated, we're doing this for you. I feel for you. Yeah. That's why the rest of us have to do it. This chat always excludes you.

Always. Without saying. Without saying. Somebody also messaged in saying that a secret, their family got secretly vaxxed. Yeah, we asked if it had happened to you, if you'd lost any friends or whatever. Somebody said I won't give too many, I'm not going to give ages or anything to identify,

but my daughters and I had to get secret vaccinations in secret from my husband. Well, because he's on the anti-vax bandwagon. Incredibly hard and difficult position we've found ourselves in. Yeah, I had a friend post saying that because their mum's, I think, anti-vax, and he posted saying, I've done it. Mum's not happy, but it's the right thing to do. Somebody else's decision saying, we told our friends in whanau that if they didn't get the flu jab, then they couldn't see our newborn baby.

Everybody got their jabs. I would say that too. Luckily, I don't have anyone I need to say that to. But I would definitely say that. All right. Well, yeah, if you're in Auckland, especially in the under 40 age group that still is under vaccinated, the drive-through at the airport parking road,

you do not need an appointment. You just turn up. And that's the place that they're doing the incentive prizes too. Not that you need a thing. Otherwise, the Book My Vaccine website shows you all the available appointments in the next week in your area. So you should be able to get something pretty quick. Someone said, can you guys stop talking about the vaccine?

I just told you before. It's my guarantee. When we're all vaccinated, you will never hear me talk about the COVID vaccine again. Measles, different situation. So the Klakdashi hens are a family of chickens that we've had for over two years now. Right.

I've never had chickens before. We started with eight. We're down to five. All named after the Kardashians. Correct. Who did you lose early on? Kendall. Kendall was, yeah.

Kendall, then Courtney. Yeah. Then Chris. Then Chris. Yeah, and we're down to five. Tell you who's gone strong. Rob. Life here is not imitating art.

No. But the other day, a rooster turned up. And we've named him Kanye because he turned up. And started causing a ruckus. He's joined the family. You think he's a good-looking rooster? We all agree he's a pretty stunning-looking young fella. I've never seen a rooster before and said,

that's a majestic, good-looking rooster. But it's like this blue-black. Yeah, he's got a shimmer to him. Yeah, yeah. He's such a dark black. It's got a blue shimmer through it. Right. He's a good-looking fella.

And when he walks, he's like real... Cocky. Cocky, yeah. Yeah, I guess that's where it comes from, right definitely he's like real cocky cocky yeah yeah i guess that's where it comes from right you walk around like a cockerel bce big chicken energy yeah yeah brb brb yeah it sounds like an avian disease probably a different way yeah bca bce um so he um So he's been strutting around He was definitely dumped out of the car, right? Yeah, yeah So we thought he might have wandered around Because he knew we had chickens

But nah, we feel like now he's dumped Because at 4.20 this morning Yeah Not that 4.20 Not the fun 4.20 Yeah The alarm goes off 4.20 Yeah I'm going to change my alarm It's really ruining the number for me Yeah 420. Not the fun 420. Yeah. The alarm goes off 420. Yeah.

I'm going to change my alarm. It's really ruining the number for me. Yeah. At 420, would you go 419 or 421 or would you have to go an even? No, I have to go for a five. It'll be either be 415 or 425. Okay. I'm not going for a one.

What am I, a monster? Well, no, but a two. You could go 422 or 418. No, it's not the volume on the TV. You can't go up in twos. You've got to go up in fives. You can go up in twos. You can't go up in twos on an alarm. That's what I, you could go 4.22 or 4.18. No, it's not the volume on the TV. You can't go up in twos. You've got to go up in fives. You can go up in twos? You can't go up in twos on alarm.

That's what I, you are a monster. Okay. So at 4.20 this morning, I hear, and I'm like, you're kidding me. And Sade rolls over and she's like, the rooster has got to go. That was all she said. The rooster has got to go. I was like, yeah, I figured

that. I figured as much. Has it been continuing on this morning? So I heard him three more times before I left. I thought they only crowed at sunrise. That is the biggest rooster myth ever because there's a rooster over the other side of the valley from where we live

on a calm morning. You know what it's like. On the weekend you wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning and your body's like, hey, I know you were planning a sleep in, but this is the time we get up. Yeah. Up, up, up. Bruce is like your nana. Just doesn't need a long sleep.

And then I'll go out onto the deck at like 5 o'clock in the morning, well before sunrise and winter, and you just hear, eh, eh. I'm like, oh, nightmare. So I thought Kanye was better than that, but he's not. And I heard him, when I got out of the shower, I heard it again. And Shardé was like, that was what she was saying. And then when I was down in the kitchen having my Barocca.

Yeah. With warm water. Yeah, warm water Barocca because it makes the Barocca dissolve quicker. You are such an old man. Me and my dad, Barocca every morning, baby. Yeah, warm water Barocca because it makes the Barocca dissolve quicker. You are such an old man. Me and my dad, Barocca every morning, baby. I was just, turned off the tap and then I heard and I was

just like, oh my god, he's gonna go all morning, I'm out of here. So I drove away and I just missed it, Shade before. She sent through something that said that rooster can F right off. I said, is he still at it? And she did the emotionless emoticon face and said, yes.

And she said, I 100% now believe he's been dumped on our property. Oh, 100% he has. But what can you do with that now? What do you do with a problem like Kanye? Do you catch him in a box and dump him somewhere else? Which I'm not for. Because that's how you always see like rogue, wild chicken populations on the side of the road

when you're driving around New Zealand. It's a roost area. It's always got a couple of chickens in it. And you don't want to just perpetuate the problem by dumping it on. Then it couple of chickens in it. And you don't want to just perpetuate the problem by dumping it on. Then you become somebody else's problem. I typed in rooster farm, and the top one was near me.

Where can I drop this rooster off? Surely some old woman does a rooster rescue. How do I find a new home for a rooster I do not want? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know why. SPCA? Would they rehome a rooster? I don't know. ItCA? Would they rehome a rooster?

I don't know. It seems like a lot of resource, doesn't it? What are you going to do? I know my granddad would have taken care of with one swing. Yeah. But then I know that would upset some people, including the three animal-sensitive females that I live with and love dearly. So, yes, the ongoing problem of what to do with Kanye.

No good for eating. Someone said, could you eat him? No. Even in a crock pot? Could you remember if I'm wrong, the testes They sell the whole thing. The testes sour the entire thing. That's why if you're going to eat like a cow, like a steer, like a bull

you remove the testes at an early age so that the testosterone doesn't spoil the meat. Not like testosterone to spoil anything, eh? Apart from everything. Males really only look for one thing in nature. Doing it. I thought you were going to have a good comeback. You did right.

You're 100% correct. Very little. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about... Are you okay? I'm not emotional. I was just choking on my saliva,

but I realised it sounded like I was getting emotional. Today's fact of the day is about piglets. I'm not emotional. I was just choking on my saliva, but I realized it sounded like I was getting emotional. Today's fact of the day is about piglets. Okay. Which are very cute. Yeah. So cute. And will grow into being rather delicious. But for the moment,

we're just going to talk about how cute they are. Today's fact of the day is piglet has only been the word for a baby pig since the mid-1800s. What was it before? Before that, a pig in the 14th century was known as a hogling. A hogling. A little hogling. That's cute.

In the 1550s, there has been a literature that called a baby pig a porket. All of these are great. Yeah. In the 1600s, it was known as a hog babe. Okay. A hog babe. Not a thing to try as a pet name on your partner, I wouldn't imagine. No, I don't do that.

And then from the 1680s through to the mid-1800s, and this is my favourite, a gruntling. A gruntling was the name for a piglet. Why didn't they just stay with gruntling or hogling? I don't know. I guess it was the time where there were cultures all over the world and, you know, a lot of words weren't, you know, maybe picked and chosen from here. There wasn't a universally agreed upon name for a baby pig.

A piggy. So, yeah, they went piglet. Yeah. That's good. Other possible names? Any pop to mind of what you could call a little piggy? Mini oink? Mini oink.

An oink plant? Squirrely. Yeah, a little squirrelet. Squirrelet. That covers it a little bit. So today's fact of the day is the word for a young pig, piglet, only dates back to the mid-1800s. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Big news from my hometown yesterday of New Plymouth. Mum sent this to me in the WhatsApp chat. Yeah, what? I saw a few people talking about this. They've got a fax machine. Wow. They've got a fax machine.

Wow. They've finally got the flat TVs. You're from Morrinsville. You don't even have the movies in Morrinsville. Fair call. See? We used to. It got turned into a dry cleaners and now I don't know what it is.

So don't come at me with your... The movie cinema was so small it got turned into a dry cleaners. No, it was a big ass dry cleaners. How would dry cleaners have to be big? Yeah, not that big. It was like a one cinema complex. It was like a theatre. Morrinsville one screen. Yeah. Machines. Not that big. It was like a one cinema complex. It was like a theatre. Right, okay.

More like for one screen. Yeah. Didn't even have a flashy name like that. Don't brag about your screens if you've only got one of them. This week, level two, Jaws. The first time it's ever been. I saw, I think I saw like when I was a little, little kid. I'm pretty sure I saw like a 1950s.

I wasn't alive in the 1950s. This was in the late 80s. But like that's how old the movies were. The show there, I'm pretty sure it was like Snow White or something. The original. Well, big news

out of the knacky yesterday, a car, and at this stage, details light on how this happened, but Centre City there, the multi-level car park building next to the mall,

somebody managed to get their car through the railing and precariously dangle get their car through the railing and precariously dangle half their car out of the multi-level car park building. Gracious. Dragged back by, I think somebody, a member of the public, dragged the person back from out of the car. I think they went to hospital.

They were okay. That's some movie shit. I know. It happens in the movies. And it got me thinking, now they haven't said how this accident happened but obviously the person has got into trouble and was, I mean nobody means to

drive through the edge of a car park building do they? No. I would. If there was like safety if you could like as a stunt person. I don't know, if I have too many more days like this. Too many more run-ins with anti-vaxxers maybe Maybe they'll drive you to... Drive you to a car park.

But this to me, now I don't know if this is the case, but to me, seems like a... Are you looking at the photo? The wipe is still going. Yeah, it's nuts, right?

The wheel is hanging out. You're like, have a Google of the New Plymouth Centre City car thing. It's also very far out. Like, how did that not fall? I know, it's insane.

But to me, this seems like a classic incident of mixing the accelerated brake and being in a bit of a... Yeah, whoopsie. A bit of a rush or you slip, I don't know. You panic. Maybe you hit something and you... And some people, when they panic, they just would, like, slam their foot down further,

be like, that's not the foot I wanted to use! And then just... And then, yeah. Their reaction is to slam it. Because maybe they were reversing out and then hit a pole, and then that gave them a fright, so they slammed their foot down.

I don't know how it happened. Ah. But it's normally... I don't know if it said how old... Does it say in that article how old the lady was? 64? Yeah, see, I wonder if it's one of those classic because you know once a month there's a story

about an older person that puts in car. Wait a minute, how old did you say? 64. That's not that old. I know, but every now and again you'll hear about like an 80 year old that's put goes hard through a dairy. No, they always go through a spark store. It's always a spark store. Or an insurance

store. Or a Vodafone because they're so confused about their phone. Like it just needs to be charged, but they don't know and they panic and it's always they jump the curb and go through a spark store. That's why spark stores always have bollards outside. But I don't want to make this an ageist thing because I know of young people that have done this and I thought we could open up the phone lines this morning on 0800DARLS.M. You can text 9696. When did you mix up the accelerator and the brake?

Can I start with a friend of mine? And have a whoopsie. Okay, of course. They hit the accelerator instead of the brake outside the dairy and their LPG, hit the LPG bottle stand. This was last week. Last week? How old are they?

They hit the swapper gas thing. Or the actual one that fills it up. No, the swapper gas. Oh, well, that's probably okay. That's a little bit better. Everyone's okay. But then how did they do that? Just mix the brake with the accelerator.

Not old. Just confused. It's that noise that freaks you out. All of a sudden your car's like. All right, 0800Diles.am, give us a call. You can text in as well, 9696. When did you mix up the accelerator and the brake? So we want to know from you this morning when you mixed up the accelerator and the brake pedal. We don't know if this is why, but a car precariously dangling off Centre City

in New Plymouth yesterday, the car parking building at the mall. He was revving, heard. Yes, and the wipers are still going. It's quite a wild story. Google that news article. How that didn't fall down. Because that would have been, what, three storeys up? Yeah, it's high. It's pretty high.

Like a movie. Ebony joins us. Ebony, your brother mixed up the accelerator in the break. Yes, so a lot of people in Oamaru will remember this. Is he famous? No. We're going through bar repairs. Yes. Okay.

Oh, my gosh. Go on. Yeah, so they were, like, it was him and one of his friends, and they were turning to go down the side street, and Borupiers just happened to be on the corner. And instead of putting the brake on to slow down, they hit the accelerator, well, my brother hit the accelerator and actually plummeted through Borupiers,

and they had to fix it, but instead of, like, putting the wall back up, they just put a drive-through through Borupiers. So it kind of was a win-win situation for them. So he inadvertently gave Boa Repairs a drive-through service. Yes. Wait, what year was this? Oh, this is going back like 10, 11 years ago. 2008?

Maybe. Staff spent Thursday night at Boa Repairs in Oamaru after a car crashed, driven by a 16-year-old Oamaru girl crashed through the building, leaving a gaping hole. Yeah, so she tipped the blame, but it was actually my brother. Oh! Wow. I don't even know if I want to know why.

We can talk about why after. My brother didn't have a license, so. Oh, okay. Oh, my God, Ebony. We are absolutely airing the family's dirty little laundry. He's probably going to absolutely grill me through the phone any minute now. 16, 2008, so like 13 years ago. So he's like late 20s by now.

We've all moved on. We've all moved on. He's actually, yeah, he's like 30 now. Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing. Ebony, thank you for your call. You don't have a unique name. Yeah, there can't be that many Ebony's

in Oamaru. Talking about when you've accidentally mixed up the accelerator and the brake. And you know, older people get a bit of stick for this because they get the news stories, don't they? When they drive into a pharmacy accidentally or a bakery. Because it's cute because you're like, how did a Honda Jazz make it that far through a wall?

Caused so much damage. Yeah, yeah. But it is not just the old people doing this. Nope. And it's not just the little cars either. No. So we want to know from you on 0800DARLS.M. You can text 9696.

Lee, what happened when you mixed up the accelerator and the brake? Straight across from my driveway was a driveway that goes straight down. Yep. And the person was coming up first thing in the morning and when they came up, they came up in

a bit of a hurry. Yeah. And it kind of freaked me out. So I went to put my foot on the brake, but I got the accelerator. And, yeah, I still don't know. And my partner didn't know. But somehow I missed a concrete pile, went through a wire fence, which was the next door neighbor's, and killed their gnome. Oh, my God.

I thought you were going to say cat. I thought you were going to say cat. I thought you were going to say cat or dog. No, I didn't kill anything. My heart dropped. I was like, oh. And I killed their grandma. Oh, my God. Their gnome.

Amazing. Hey, Lee, thank you for your call. Vicky, when did you accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brakes? Hi, guys. Hi. Okay. It was the first time I actually ever drove a car. It was a couple of weeks before I turned 15.

Okay. Back when you could get your learners when you were 15. Yep. And my mum thought it would be a good idea to have me drive the car into the garage for her. It's a manual car. She didn't tell me which pedal was which, and I hit the accelerator and drove through the garage wall the day before the house was going on the market.

Wow. The day before the house was going on the market. Oh, no. And did insurance pay out for that? I believe so. I wasn't really involved. I was a little bit too young. Mum's like, yes, I was driving.

Yes. That's the beauty Mum being like No I'm not going to have A perfect driving record Vicky thanks for your call So many text messages From other people

Who have confused The brake for the accelerator I crashed my dad's work van Right up onto a tennis court When I was 17 I was about to park the van And I mixed up the brake And accelerator

Straight through the fence onto the tennis court. You would have got an absolute hiding. Tires don't go on the tennis court. Oh yeah, that too. You're non-marking tires only. I confused the brake for the accelerator when I was on my restricted

and it was five minutes past ten. Now on your restricted you can't drive after ten. Oh yeah. Let alone the two't drive after 10. Oh, yeah. Let alone the two people in the back. Oh, no. Had a crash. Had to call my dad.

He came down. My friends had scarpered by then, so I thought I'd got away with that. Yeah. Until he saw the mess in the back seat and he was like, someone's been sitting back here. This is a half-open Cody's. Dad's a bloody detective. Yeah.

Dad took the blame. Oh. But only because he knew we wouldn't get insurance otherwise. 100%. Seems to be the situation. I mixed up the brake and accelerator and crashed into the side of the bus 10 days before my 25th birthday, so I had to pay the excess for another 25. If I'd waited 10 days, it would have been far cheaper to crash into a bus.

Yeah. If you're going to T-bone a bus, also don't do it in a car. Oh, yeah. Just don't do it. Don't do it. But if you're going to do it, probably another bus or a truck. Sure. Somebody said a friend of mine was dropping rubbish of the dead variety

into a big hole on the farm. So backed up super close. Now, in an old Land Rover, and I know this, I know this, the reverse and the first gear are very close. And it's a bit of a sloppy old gearbox.

Yeah. You might think, so a friend of mine thought he was in first. Yeah. And let the clutch out. He was actually in reverse. And then instead of the accelerator,

instead of the brake, he slammed the accelerator and half the Land Rover was hanging over the back into the death pit. The awful hole. Oh, yeah. And he yelled at his sister, jump on the front of the bonnet to weigh it down so I've got some grip on the wheels.

And she started crying and ran away home. Are you calling me fat? Get back here, you fat... I need your weight! Yeah, that's never going to go down well. No, that's never going to go down well. No, that's never going to help you ever again. And not just cars either.

Someone said, I've done this three times on a tractor. Oh, wow. Three times? Yeah. At least one of them, they said they went through a wall. At least that would have been nice and dramatic on your tractor. Yeah.
