ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast.
Thanks to McCafe, Barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2.
Oh, we've got to get petrol. I am below zero.
Vaughan, this is not what I need to hear right now
Fletch is pregnant and he needs to be taken for his epidural
I'm getting my epi
I'm taking Fletch
But I also drove to work with my needle literally under the E-line
Well, we've got a lot of time
I don't need to be there till 10.40 and it's 9.40 now
You're getting your epidurals today
Yes, I've just got a form here to fill out
A CT guided epidural injection
A patient information and consent form I'm not allowed to eat any food I've just got a form here to fill out. A CT guided epidural injection.
A patient information and consent form.
I'm not allowed to eat any food.
And I'm getting a bit hangry already.
I'll tell you that much.
Oh, but you've eaten?
No, from, you're not allowed to do it two hours before.
Oh, okay.
So I haven't eaten since like eight o'clock.
When I got my CT guided jab, it really hurt.
Yeah, I know.
Megan's so, so apparently they put some local on you.
Yeah.
And that hurts and stings.
You go to West Auckland, so some dude from West Auckland's going to be on you.
Is that what you mean by local or local anesthetic?
Yes. Yeah, they gave me a local, but then they did it straight away.
Oh, no.
You've got to give the local a bit of chance to set in.
It was on my hip joint, and I felt the needle pop through the hip joint.
You know who does that? You know who does that?
You know who does that?
Dentists.
You know when they jab you to get you numb?
Yeah.
And then they get bored?
Because they're like, oh, could I just...
It'll be done.
It'll be done.
And then you're just like, ugh.
And they're like, oh, well, I'll give it a bit more time.
It's like, yes, you will.
Oh, can you feel that?
Oh, yes, I can.
I can because you literally haven't given it enough time.
Yeah.
So just like run away for a bit between the local and the.
Yeah.
So does that mean I'm going to have a numb bum for a few hours?
Because I have my lower back.
I'll have it.
It'll be localized.
No, I don't think it'll go as far as your bum.
I think it's very local.
But it's like the low back bit.
What if it makes my bum cheek so I can't feel them?
I'll spank your ass when I pick you up.
We'll run some very scientific tests.
Great.
I'll give you a spank.
A little spanky.
That's the only payment I want.
Before you're right.
I'm dropping you back off again.
One big full swing wet hand bear ass spank.
Yeah, look, I feel like you've got some things on your list.
Some unresolved issues.
Yeah.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show.
Fleach, Vaughan and Megan, three minutes past six.
And it's a long weekend this weekend.
It's just dawned on
me. That's good. I need that. Yes, yes, yes.
I need that long weekend next week to recover
from the weekend just been. Shit, I went to a
great party.
Last thing I remember, there was someone
twerking on a broken ping pong table.
Woo! What a blow.
Good to blow off some steam.
Good to blow off some steam at a big old party.
Seen some chums that I haven't seen for a while.
Yeah.
I can't even imagine you like that.
No, calling it a ping pong table and saying chums,
I think that discounts you as being at that party.
It was good to see my dogs and someone twerking on a twerking table.
Sure, close, yeah.
Does that make me more likely to sound about that party?
No, still not.
I saw the video of that party and it honestly looked like my worst nightmare.
Yeah.
Everything about it.
The volume, how close everybody was.
Pre-pandemic, I didn't like that many people in that closest place.
Yeah.
This should be everyone's worst nightmare currently.
Currently, yeah, but just outside of any time.
Yeah.
In a different world.
Yeah, nah.
Bloody idiots.
Bloody idiots.
Is that what Phil Goff's called them?
Bloody idiots?
Yeah, bloody Idiots.
Bloody Idiots.
Bloody Idiots.
Well, they'll be regretting it after the last 24 hours of social media attention.
Yeah.
Might be hard to get that sweet collab going forward.
Top six is coming up on the show.
Yeah, the top six new wedding venues for Jacinda.
You may have seen this was the other big story over the weekend
is that there's been a cancellation of wedding venues.
The owner of said wedding venue, not happy.
And now we've got to find a new place for the PM to get married.
Okay.
So I've got the top six spots.
Real great suggestions because you know me.
Yeah, always.
Wedding planner. Yeah. Secret Yeah, always. A wedding planner.
Yeah.
Secret Sound,
all thanks to Neon
coming up again this morning
with chances to win it.
Seven o'clock and eight o'clock.
There was another clue as well
put up from Soundkeeper Owls.
You can see that
ZM Secret Sound Instagram.
Next,
the 10 best TV shows ever
have been decided
according to a poll. So people have decided the best best TV shows ever have been decided according to a poll.
So people have decided the best ever TV shows.
Yeah.
I mean, prepare to disagree.
Yeah, I mean, people liked Big Bang Theory,
so I don't think you should let the people decide anything.
I can't even relate to Big Bang Theory.
Those main actors, they were getting a couple of million bucks an episode.
All right, it's next.
ZM.
ZM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
The best TV shows ever have been looked into by Flix.
Do you know the app Flix?
Yes.
The New Zealand one.
Well, it's Australian.
Is it?
Okay, right.
I thought it was the New Zealand one too.
You go on there to find movies and stuff.
They've done a poll on what the best TV shows of all time are.
10,000 people discussed this.
Okay.
I have the top 10 that these people decided on.
You're probably, I mean, it's very subjective, so you're probably going to disagree with
a few, but I think these are among the most popular.
Number 10, Big Bang Theory.
Instantly, this list has no credibility.
It gets better.
It has no credibility.
You shouldn't ask people to decide things.
People are idiots.
This is purely on popularity.
But like the Big Bang Theory, like it or hate it,
they won, did they win Emmys and stuff?
Yeah, heaps.
It ran for years.
It always ran really well.
Right.
Maybe I'm the idiot then for not getting that show.
It was just easy.
It's like friends.
It was easy.
There was nothing mentally challenging about it.
What was that?
The Office is number nine.
American or British?
It doesn't specify, actually.
You just assume British, right?
Would you?
Yeah.
Number eight is The Wire.
Great show. Great show. So now you're starting to get on board. Now I'm like, right? Would you? Yeah. Number eight is The Wire. Great show.
Great show. So now you're starting to get on board. Now I'm like, this list is good.
Now it's taking a turn.
So number seven on the top ten TV
shows of all time is The Simpsons.
It's a classic.
It's a classic. I watched the monorail. I showed the
girls the monorail episode at the weekend.
Yeah, right. Do they watch The Simpsons
often? Like, what do they think of?
They're like really, really interested in it.
Like, really interested in it.
But they're not like,
Dad, stop forcing this old person to turn on us.
No, but it's still being made.
Yeah, true.
And they make like little shorts now
that focus on Maggie Simpson
and it's just like little Maggie adventures.
Right.
And I think that was their gateway.
They didn't appreciate. Simpsons was their gateway. They didn't appreciate the intricacies of the monorail episode.
Right.
But they did like it.
Okay.
Maybe come back to it in a couple of years.
See if they get it there.
A few more years.
Yeah.
Number six is MASH.
Yeah, people rave about MASH.
I just remember it always just being on.
On before the news.
Yeah, it used to be reruns. I feel if you watch it now, it wouldn't have aged well. Yeah, I don't think so show. I just remember it always just being on. On before the news. Yeah, it reruns.
I feel like if you watch it now, it wouldn't have aged well.
Yeah, I don't think so.
There'd be some cancellations.
Yeah, it was made in the 80s, set in the 50s.
Yeah.
Fairly much.
Top five now.
So number five of the top TV shows ever made.
The Sopranos, which I watched at the time,
but I feel like I need to re-watch.
How many seasons?
Six seasons of The Sopranos.
Hour long episodes but only...
It's actually had a bit of a resurgence
and all these new generations finding it
and re-watching it
because HBO just brought out the prequel movie.
Yeah, apparently it's not very good.
Isn't it?
Because it's actually got a son in it.
James Gandolfini's son actually plays him.
Plays the young James Gandolfini.
That's pretty cool.
Our number four, Seinfeld.
Yep.
Who was it that recently found Seinfeld?
Aaron Smith, the All Black.
Oh, yeah.
He tweeted, I've just found Seinfeld.
Guys, it's great.
Like, had he never seen an episode?
I don't know.
I just saw his tweet.
Guys, I've just found Seinfeld.
You'll love it.
It's great.
Or something.
And I was just like, that's brilliant.
So you guys, have you guys heard about this show?
Yeah, it was made in, because yeah, the first episode of Seinfeld was 1989.
Wow.
89 or 87.
Yeah, like late 80s.
That's crazy.
Wild. So top three TV shows of all 80s. That's crazy. Wild.
So top three TV shows of all time.
Friends is number three.
Yeah.
I would have thought that it would have taken the number one spot, but it hasn't.
Number two, Game of Thrones.
Just forgetting the last season.
I know that last season.
Why'd they rush it?
Yeah.
And number one, the number one TV show of all time, Breaking Bad.
Yeah.
That's what people voted. Good. It's so perfect, isn't it of all time, Breaking Bad. Yeah. That's what people voted.
Good.
It's so perfect, isn't it?
It's a great ending.
Yeah.
It's just, it has everything.
Beautifully shot.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not just kidding.
You can't argue with that.
Nah, it's pretty good.
It's really good.
Fantastic character development.
Yes, it really was.
It really was.
You know, you saw the whole story, every one of them, you know,
just ended in a different situation from where they started.
So what you always say about TV shows,
it's got to have character development.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, 621.
Well, there's been a couple of studies done during the COVID pandemic,
and this probably won't come as a surprise to you,
but avoiding the news during the COVID-19 pandemic
is associated with better mental well-being.
Totally.
Totally.
There's no need to watch that.
24-7.
Yeah, the whole thing all the time.
It's not good.
Like, I think we all watched a couple of the 1 o'clock press briefings
when it first happened. Yeah. And then every day you're like, I think we all watched a couple of the 1 o'clock press briefings when it first happened.
Yeah.
And then every day you're like, I just can't deal with this.
Yeah.
It was appointment viewing first time around.
Yeah.
But then this time I'm more than happy for it to slide by
and then to just get one push notification.
Yeah.
To say the numbers.
Yeah.
That's all I want and need.
The season is lost.
It's luster. Yeah. yes it's repeating a lot of
the story lines yeah yeah speaking of the yeah and then you know tv show plotline it jumped the shark
a couple of times with these like 71 new community cases that was a real i was like okay what's gonna
be tomorrow 80 give me a break um yeah. Yeah. I mean, unfortunately.
No character development.
I know we just talked about that moments ago.
You know, they're out there peddling the same old thing.
Yeah.
Well, sometimes Ashley's not on an episode
and they'll bring in Carolyn McLinney.
Yeah.
She's lovely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But do you think we need more characters?
It's like when they replace Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince
She's good but
She's not Ashley
She's not Aunt Viv
Yeah right
Or Ashley
Aunt Ashley at this
Aunt Ashley yeah
Aunt Bloomfield
At this stage
But then like
And also that's only the actual news
What about like all the misinformation and stuff out there
that people spend way too much time on
and then they rabbit hole themselves
and then before they know it,
they're in conspiracy echo chambers
being a relay unit in this dangerous world of misinformation.
Well, I think you can add social media to news avoidance
for your mental wellbeing.
Yeah.
I totally agree.
It's hard though, isn't it?
You've got to keep up with what's going on,
but then how much is too much?
Let's try to find the perfect balance.
What?
Let's try to find the perfect balance.
Okay, it's radio.
You know, whispering doesn't work, Vaughan.
You need to project your voice
so the listeners can hear.
Let's just try something new. Yeah, don't do that. No, whispering doesn't work, Vaughan. You need to project your voice so the listeners can hear. Let's just try something new.
Yeah, don't do that.
No, they don't like whispering.
See, even your volume did a little bit there.
We all just could do with a half volume.
I think we could all do with a half volume day.
Do you think?
It's just a little bit slower and it's a little bit quieter.
Next on the show.
Insurance.
Oh, God, no, because when you say insurance like that,
it sounds very boring.
Yeah.
Insurance.
No, it still doesn't sound appealing.
Insurance.
A way of which my insurance premiums would only go up.
There's a new way of calculating how much you should be paying for insurance,
and I do not like it at all.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Tesla, I didn't know this.
Tesla, in America, Tesla has offered insurance to Tesla car drivers,
specifically for those.
Oh, so you don't need to go to your insurance people.
Yeah, you can just do it through the car.
And they're going to do this in Texas as well.
They're going to be offering insurance to people,
but your car determines your insurance premiums
because Tesla is constantly reporting back to Tesla HQ.
Oh, I don't like that.
About your driving.
Everything about your driving.
How rapidly you accelerate.
What your braking's like.
How much stress you put on the car when you corner.
Lane drifting.
If you're doing it completely by manual,
it's still scanning to see where the lanes are.
So it knows everything about your driving.
And the cameras would always be on your face as well,
so it would know if you're on your phone.
It would know if you're paying attention.
It knows if you're daydreaming
and your eyes are looking somewhere else,
and then you're looking straight forward as you slam on the brakes.
It knows everything about you.
And thus your insurance premium will be higher because you are a more dangerous driver.
I mean, this is kind of like statistically how insurance premiums are dictated, right?
Yeah.
As it is, they know certain things about you, you know.
Well, it's like if you have speeding tickets or you had other accidents,
your insurance premiums will be more.
Yeah.
But this is like, this is more, this is intense.
This isn't just like by demo either.
Males.
Excuse me, males in their early 20s.
Yeah.
Sorry, you got bad insurance premiums
or higher insurance premiums
because you're more likely to be involved in accidents.
Yeah.
Whereas now they might have a driving record
that says they're actually quite a safe driver
compared to females over 25.
And that's the thing.
If you are a safe driver, this is good.
So they're going to have to insure it first
before they get a track record of yours.
So is your premium going to be altered depending on how?
Maybe.
Maybe.
That would be quite confronting if you get the report after a year and they're like,
you're actually a terrible driver.
You've got a lead foot.
You're hanging around those corners.
The number of forward collision warnings you get every 1,000 miles is one of the things.
Oh, that'd get you.
No, but sometimes those things go off and you're like,
I've seen the car, they're turning.
You know, like, and it's like, baby, baby, I got a crash.
It's like, no, I'm not, chill out.
Well, our shut-a's car, when you're backing out of like,
in the supermarket car park, it can detect cars coming,
which is very handy.
It just goes, did, did, did, did.
You can't see them because it's in the car park.
What about trolleys?
Does it get trolleys?
Yeah, anything behind.
But if you're slowly crawling out and there's a car going on,
and it's giving you heaps of room, but you're just slowly crawling,
it'll go, and jam on the brakes.
And you're like, I saw it coming.
That's why it was going really slow so it could go around.
Right.
But it's like, no!
It jams on the brakes.
The Tesla's insurance will also be determined
on the amount of times you hard brake,
how often you take too fast turns,
how closely you drive behind other drivers.
I mean, the Tesla should be taking care of this.
And how often you take your hands off the wheel
when autopilot's engaged.
What is autopilot for if not taking one's hands off the wheel?
Yeah.
Wow, That is.
I kind of want it to just, I want one just so it can do the assessment on me.
Just so I can see.
But then it's too late.
Yeah.
Unless you drive your friend's one or go to a dealership.
Yeah.
It's like a report card because then, you know, you get a bad report.
You're like, well, I've got to be on my best behavior driving this month.
And everybody that I've ever seen with a Tesla,
the first thing they do when someone gets in and they have never been in a Tesla before,
they're like, been in a Tesla?
And the person's like, nah.
And they're like, watch this.
And they just floor it because it just goes zoom on a rocket.
They're like, okay, you've been in a Tesla before?
No, I haven't.
Can you chuck me $25 because that's how much my insurance premium before? No, I haven't. Can you chuck me 25 bucks?
Because that's how much my insurance premium goes up every time I do this.
From iHeartRadio, this is The Latest.
So Adele has revealed that she hosted a listening party for her album for her friend, Drake.
Now, do you remember?
I'm pretty sure it was Drake that we saw leaving her house late at night
and everyone's like, what's going on there?
Like a year ago, remember?
Yeah, yeah.
And we were like, what is happening?
Well, it turns out that it could have been one of these times
when she was playing him her album.
She said, I played it to Drake last year when he was in town
and was like, is this what people want or not?
He said, absolutely.
But that's it really.
And she said, he then, when she dropped her single, said, one of my best friends in the world has just dropped a single with a smiling emoji.
So it turns out they're just BFFs.
And he heard the album a year ago.
Well, I think it's like a lot of artists, she just sat on it because of COVID, right?
Yeah.
And now she'll be tweaked in.
Yeah, and now it's raked up the most streams
in a single day on Spotify.
Yeah, she beat the record.
Who had the record before her?
BTS, I believe.
Right, okay.
But she's probably had that record before.
Pepsi Max is fueling the latest.
Max taste, no sugars given.
All right, coming up on the show, it's the top six.
Yeah, the top six new wedding locations for Jacinda and Clark.
It's a bit of a right kerfuffle.
Right kerfuffle.
Right kerfuffle.
Right kerfuffle.
Delve into that soon on the show.
Also coming up, your chance to win cash, $15,000.
The current jackpot, ZM's Secret Sound. All thanks to Neon is coming up, your chance to win cash, $15,000, the current jackpot,
ZM's secret sound.
All thanks to Neon is coming up,
the activated just before seven.
Next on the show,
three things not to do
when you fall in love.
Fletch.
Get them to sign a prenup?
Is that one of them?
No, you should absolutely do that.
Immediately, immediately.
Sign here, please.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
A therapist has revealed the three things you should not do when you fall in love or
when you think you're falling in love.
Actually, this therapist is a co-founder of Therapy Den.
It's a platform where people can find therapists for all kinds of reasons, whatever you need.
So he's delving into love.
And this is something we spoke about last week.
People feeling love and positive thoughts to people on TikTok especially.
Like, I love them.
I need them in my life.
Yeah, and they don't actually know them.
They don't know them.
Hero worship sort of, but more on a personal level.
Yeah.
So he says, first of all, first thing you should not do when you think
you're falling in love, don't fool yourself
into thinking that you're actually in love.
You've got to be together for a little bit. And he
said, once you see how dumb and annoying
they are, and you still think that your
head over heels in love, then you're actually
probably in love. Right, because you can stand all there.
You've got to get to the messy bits.
Yeah, right. Don't move too
fast is the second mistake.
Even though you want to see them every single day,
he actually sets a limit and says that up to two or three times during the week
is enough to take it easy in the beginning.
Otherwise, you're getting too hot and heavy and you're likely to crash and burn.
Yeah, right.
Kind of leave you wanting more.
Yeah. Okay. Definitely you, kind of leave you wanting more. Yeah.
Okay.
Definitely didn't follow that.
Number three,
the third thing you should not do
when you're falling in love
is don't make any big decisions.
So he says,
you think you're in love
and you think you're with the one,
but there's so many chemical reactions
and hormones going on
in your body and in your brain,
you're bound to make
some pretty bad decisions.
So don't quit school.
Don't like decide you're going to move overseas and follow the band or something crazy like
that.
That's his quote.
Yeah.
I'm not speaking from my experience.
Because did you?
You followed a band, didn't you?
No, I did not.
But yeah, don't make any major life decisions until you're sure and you're in the relationship.
But then you always,
you have those friends
that moved overseas real quick
and they're still together.
Yeah, well, I mean,
sometimes it works out
and that's because
they were compatible.
But you also have those friends
that move overseas
and then they're back in a week.
Yeah.
Well, they move overseas
for someone
and then end up
with someone else.
Yeah. But it worked out, I guess, didn't it? Well, they move overseas for someone and then end up with someone else. Yeah.
That worked out, I guess, didn't it?
Well, somebody looked out for somebody.
I know, I was just, yeah.
Yeah, anyway.
From the vulnerable ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.
Hello.
Hello there.
Today's Top Six, dealing with the Prime Minister's new wedding venue.
She needs a new one.
Yeah.
After it's all fallen through at the Bushmere Arms venue.
That's in Gisborne, outskirts of Gisborne.
I'm looking at it now.
And I went to do a tour, but apparently I need Adobe Flash Player 9, 10 or higher.
Do you have Adobe 10?
I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think anyone's using Adobe Flash you have Adobe 10? I don't know.
I don't think so.
I don't think anyone's using Adobe Flash anymore, are they?
I don't know either.
But I'm looking at their wedding venue.
From one to 200 people.
I don't know who's having a wedding and inviting one person.
Right.
It literally says from one to 200 people.
Some people only have one friend.
I'm getting married again and I'm only inviting one person.
Who would that one person be?
Your wife?
I haven't considered her.
Surely she would be outside of the...
Because then that would be two.
So this sounds
like...
So they apparently a couple of years ago were like
We want to get married here
Because this is Clark's home province
It is yeah
And then they've obviously said
Look we're going to get a celebrity chef
Peter Gordon
Peter Gordon to do the catering
And it looks like the guy that runs the wedding venue
Is like thinking it's going to be a collab
And they're like No he it's going to be a collab and they're
like no he's just going to do it all so that's external catering to which is not that doesn't
fly here at the bush mare arms yeah because they that's how a lot of venues make their money isn't
it but then what do you just suck up even if it was a little bit of a loss because this is going
to be in every woman's magazine and over all the news.
Yeah.
Like, you're going to be booked out because people are going to be like,
I want to get married
where the Prime Minister got married.
Yeah.
They'd be there.
Maybe not young gnats,
but everyone else would.
No, that young gnats would be,
they would be into it
because they'd be like,
oh, we've got to have it there
and make it flashier.
Make it better.
Show it right.
We've got to outdo the Prime Minister.
Like, you'd almost give it to her for free, wouldn't you?
For a venue.
Think of the publicity.
I don't know.
You're never going to be able to buy that publicity.
Well, anyway, he wants $5,000.
Yeah.
Like cancellation fees.
But it doesn't sound like there was a...
Was there a contract?
I...
It doesn't go into that, does it?
I don't know.
I would hate to run a wedding venue.
Reason number one, people.
Yeah, bridezillas.
You can't go right when you're dealing with humans.
Any where.
At the best of times.
Oh, God, and so many of them.
It'd be bad enough running an accommodation.
Imagine working in a venue. Oh, God, and so many of them. It'd be bad enough running an accommodation. Imagine.
Oh, yeah.
Imagine.
Working in venue.
Imagine you and your wife Sade running a little Bella Vista motel.
Nope.
And then dealing with someone that's like,
where's my little complimentary soap?
Yeah.
I'd be like.
I couldn't do it.
There's no way I could.
Get out.
People are the worst.
Get out of my motel.
Get out.
Well, I think it's time that, you know, Gisborne's had its shot.
Yep, okay.
Clark's hometown had its shot.
It's time for six places for Jacinda to get married to Clark that aren't Gisborne.
Number six, at the Morrinsville Golf Club.
Great spot.
Go to her hometown.
Exactly.
Jacinda used to live beside it
Okay
They could get married down there
On the 10th fairway
There's so many
Lovely picturesque spots
Would you have to close the course
For the wedding
Or would you just hold
The golfers
You couldn't have high heels
On the green
Oh not on the green
Then you'd get stuck in the green
Heavens no
I imagine the golf cart
Could zip them around
Take them down to the number eight hole.
It's got a lovely water feature there.
I love that.
You've got to go up over the water, up onto the hill.
It's a very challenging hole, number eight.
Nice.
Very challenging hole.
Number five on the list of the top six places
for Jacinda and Clark to get married now,
the Morrinsville Methodist Church.
It's on the main street.
Okay.
It's quite like a churchy-looking church.
I would have said the Morrinsville Catholic Church, but they
busted down the good one. It looked like an
upside down bathtub, but it was an earthquake
hazard. And the Catholic Church is apparently
real short on money and couldn't
afford to keep it.
Goodness. The number
four on the list of the top six places for
Jacinda to get married to Clark are
underneath the Morrinsville Mega
Cow. Are these all going to be
Morrinsville?
You betcha.
Yeah, okay.
You betcha.
Gizmon's had it shot.
It's time to go to her hometown.
Oh, what a beautiful
coastal paradise
in the peak of summer.
It'll be lovely.
I'll tell you what else
is lovely.
Stinking hot
inland dairy country.
Because, you know,
at that time of the year,
she's a bit dusty.
Yep.
And you get those big flies.
You know, not like the little flies.
We call them past palin flies.
Those big, chunky flies.
Yeah.
They're real dopey, those ones, aren't they?
Real dopey.
Smack into you.
And they're just short of a blowfly.
Like a blowfly's got a real bzzz to it.
But a past palin fly's just got this big, gross-looking raisin ass on it.
Its ass looks like a raisin.
You're really selling it to me.
Yeah.
Number three on the list of the top six places for Jacinda and Clark to get married.
Oh, it's on the way into town.
The Morrinsville Top Pub.
Plenty of parking.
They'll let Peter Gordon in on the bloody kitchen on the bed.
It'll be an absolute bloody honour, Peter.
Now, how hot do you want the grill?
And we've got the oven over there
And that's the extender bell
Thanks, but I tell you what
They do a bloody good burger
Do they?
Everyone could have burgers
Lovely
Number two on the list of the top six places
For Jacinda to get married to Clark
Oh, it's the Morrinsville Event Centre
They have an event centre?
Yeah, you're damn right
We paid a goddamn fortune for that thing And I don't think it's used enough What's the capacity?insville Event Centre. They have an event centre? Yeah, you're damn right. We paid a goddamn fortune for that thing,
and I don't think it's used enough.
What's the capacity?
Heaps of basketball courts.
One to 200.
One slash 200.
I also feel like going back to that venue
with a maximum of 200 guests,
I might not make the cut.
You're not making the cut, sweetheart.
I'm pretty sure, wouldn't you have got an invite?
You're definitely not making the cut.
Are you kidding me?
Is that why you keep pestering her with the messages?
I didn't update my address in her address book.
It's probably gone to my last house.
I mean, she knows you've moved.
Oh my God, to save the date.
It'll be sitting in that letterbox.
And number one on the list of the top six places for Jacinda
to get married to Clark, Morrinsville College.
It's sure it's a school, but no one's going to be using it over summer.
It's got the hall.
It's got the PE place.
It's got the fields.
I don't think there'll be a problem with the Prime Minister
getting married at a taxpayer venue
Oh right
She'll pay
Yeah right
Sort of like dinky
Amount of money
To change hands
To be like see
It wasn't for free
Right
So I'm just that
Six
There's six options
Take it
And do with it what you will.
Six great options.
That is today's top six.

Lauren joins us.
Good morning, Lauren.
Good morning.
How was the weekend?
Oh, it was pretty quiet.
It was pretty bad weather in Wellington, so just outside.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
All right, well, maybe $15,000 could...
I know.
...kick the week off, put you in a good mood.
Soundkeeper Owls joins us.
Good morning, Soundkeeper Owls.
Good morning.
How are you guys?
Good.
Now, Lauren, did you see the clue that was put up?
I did, but I didn't interpret it, so it's a bit of a gamble today. How are you guys? Good. Now, Lauren, did you see the clue that was put up?
I did, but I didn't interpret it.
So, it's a bit of a gamble today.
Now, it is, Soundkeeper, is it sign language?
Yes, it's New Zealand Sign Language, which a few people thought were a bit confused.
However, it's, I think, important.
Did you learn that clue or do you know sign language? I learned that clue, but it was really interesting learning a little bit of sign language.
And I will say my name's in there, so I got to learn how to say my name, which was really fun to learn.
I'm very impressed because it looked so fluid.
It looked like you were already versed in New Zealand sign language.
Well, thank you.
I would like to keep learning, actually.
It's very fun.
Well, you keep this up and you could be at one of those one o'clock press conferences
behind the Prime Minister.
Oh, that would be fun.
Besties with Jacinda.
Yeah.
Well, Lauren.
It's not about you.
It's about the announcer.
No, no, no.
It's about Lauren.
Sorry.
You'd be pushing it in front of the Prime Minister doing your sign language.
Yeah, and the people who are watching for the sign language are reading you and being
like, why is she telling us that she's besties with the Prime Minister?
Shouldn't she be giving us some numbers or something?
Yeah, sorry.
I'll focus on that.
All right.
Well, this is the secret sound.
Lauren, for
$15,000, what do you think
it is? So, I think
it's when you're playing that game Boggle, or
Burgle, however you say it.
It's definitely said
Boggle. No one calls it Burgle.
I would say Boggle too.
And it's when you're shaking the dice
in the container and you're shaking it really fast
and it makes that noise.
How did
you think of that, Lauren?
I think I played that game all the time
when I was a kid. This is one of those
nostalgic noises that when I heard it I was like
wait a minute.
Yeah, we're talking about that in Brian Clint
how some noises you just remember as a child
and you carry on with them throughout your life.
I will tell you now, though, Lauren,
I love the guess, but is it the secret sound?
It would be great to start off the week with that.
However, I'm going to say that that isn't the secret sound, unfortunately.
All right.
Hard luck, Lauren.
Eight o'clock is the next chance
for you to win the cash.
All the clothes,
the guesses that we've had
are at the Instagram
ZM Secret Sound
so you can keep updated.
Coming up on the show,
we're going to refund
somebody's date.
They've had a terrible first date
and they would like to apply
for their money back.
Next on the show,
I wish that I'd read
some instructions
over the weekend
because it's backfired on me.
Oh, you only read instructions
if something goes wrong.
Yeah, that's exactly what happens.
Most of the time
it's too late by now, isn't it?
Alright, it's next.
ZDM's Fletch,
Ron and Megan.
So yesterday,
there's no way
that I can go
and get my eyebrows dyed,
just by the way,
because, you know
we're in level 3
what do you dye
your eyebrows for
because
you always dye
your eyebrows
yeah
but that's what
I was going to say
I always do it
myself anyway
what about your hair
what do I dye it
or
no
do you dye your hair
no it's my
so why do you dye
your eyebrows
because my eyebrows
go lighter
so do my are you saying that I should be dyeing my eyebrows?
I've said that to you so many times.
I've literally heard you.
Not only Megan, about a thousand people say,
have you considered dyeing your eyebrows?
It's on my bucket list.
Please, one day.
For some reason, my eyebrows fade out to nothing.
They go blonde.
They go brown to blonde.
They're the whole way, but halfway it's like...
But then, okay, imagine
I turn up to work and I've dyed my eyebrows.
Could you imagine? I'd laugh.
Everyone would laugh.
But then I'd stop laughing.
And then eventually I'd get used to it.
Right. But it would look weird, wouldn't it?
It'd look so weird. Only initially.
No, it'd look so weird. Everyone would just look
at me. Please let me.
No, I kind of like the beard.
I'll get you a lighter colour.
Because mine's like brown black.
I'll get you a lighter colour.
No.
Ginger.
Oh, God, one day.
Or just, yeah.
One day.
No one's perfect, guys.
I'm going to get you a bottle of Prosecco and then you'll let me.
I mean, like, you're going to drink the bottle of Prosecco.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think after two, two and a half bottles of Prosecco,
you can do anything you want to me.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Eyebrows wise.
Well, you look hot.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, I always dye them anyway.
But the little thing that I've bought has changed.
So it used to be two things, you mix it together
and you put it on your eyebrows.
Well, like an epoxy.
Like an araldite.
Like a super glue.
Yeah, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix.
Like on the repair shop.
One's like a liquid and one's like a little gel.
And you used to mix them together and just put them on.
Okay.
Now it's two tubes.
And I've done it before.
I've done it once with this new system.
And I was like, the second time yesterday, I was like, I know what I'm doing.
This tube goes first.
And it turns out that I did the wrong tube.
So I put the tube number two on first.
Oh, you silly goose.
I wiped it off quickly and I was like, I'll start again.
And then I went number one and number two.
Except when I took it off, after literally like a minute,
it looked like I'd vivided my eyebrows.
Like, I bless you guys for not saying anything. No, they look fine.
Because they're very dark.
But do you know, they are very dark.
Can you see down here?
I wouldn't know.
There's a big black smudge where I smudged it down my face.
Oh, yeah, I can now.
But it just looks like a shadow.
I feel like I'm crying.
Yeah, no, it is just a shadow.
Sometimes I cry on the drive-thru.
Yeah.
I'm just lucky I just don't wear mascara.
Yeah.
Otherwise I get here and you'd be like, well, what's wrong?
But now I can get here and I've got, I put some cooling stuff on my eyes
and then when I get up here it doesn't look like I've been crying.
Yeah.
It had dyed my skin as well.
So I had two big vivid black lines.
Was this Saturday?
No, it was yesterday.
Oh, okay.
I scrubbed my face with so much exfoliant.
I think I literally lost a few eyebrows and this is the result.
But it's still very dark. So they're very dark. I wouldn't have ever noticed. I think I literally lost a few eyebrows and this is the result but it's still very dark.
So they're very dark. I wouldn't have noticed.
I think I've managed to
get some off my skin but
this is when you should
read the instructions. Is that what Brian Tarmacky
does? Because he's very
pronounced. He has a tattoo.
He has a tattoo and then I don't know what he's
done with the rest of it. That's why they're a little bit green.
The ink is faded a bit.
He needs a re-joj, I think.
Yeah.
And what's the new tattooing style called?
Feathering.
Not just going for block.
Yeah, you go feathering, don't you?
Yeah.
Come on, Brian.
You've got enough money.
It's not a money issue.
And if you need some, just ask for more.
Like I've got no time for you at all. I think you're an
absolute scourge on society and a piece
of shit, but I don't like seeing anybody with eyebrows
like that.
Even my, even you know,
someone I've got absolutely no time for.
But if they evaporated today
or dissolved in the rain, I wouldn't
give a second thought to it. But while you are
here, those eyebrows, sweetheart.
Down.
On.
So I would like to know when you didn't read the instructions,
what happened?
Oh, okay.
What was the aftermath?
There'd be some, I mean, not just,
you're not just looking for beauty and makeup.
Anything.
Anything.
Where you really backed yourself.
You're like, I know what I'm doing.
I've done this before.
I don't need to read the instructions.
Like kit set stuff.
You know, how hard can this be?
Here's a couple of screws.
I blew up a Fusion car stereo once.
Of course you did.
Because, yeah, I should never ever have done it.
But I plugged a non-powered speaker into a powered speaker port.
Is that a thing?
Anyway, it smoked.
So that's how I know I did something wrong.
Okay.
I took it back.
I was like, this doesn't work.
And they were like, smells smoky.
I was like, you're telling me, mate.
I don't know.
You're the expert.
All right, well, give us a call.
0800 dials at M.
You can text as well, 9696.
When didn't you read the instructions?
We'd love to know when you didn't read the instructions.
Shout out to everyone on the text machine that wants the OG formula of my eyebrow dye back
because we have all given ourselves vivid eyebrows
because I tried to dye my eyebrows yesterday with a new thing and didn't read the instructions
and I just ended up with black eyebrows and black skin.
But you've obviously done a good job.
Like, we can't tell you've dyed your skin.
I literally almost made my eyebrows bleed exfoliating.
You had a fire at the weekend, right?
I saw that on the gram.
An outdoor fire.
Someone said, lick the finger.
Please don't lick it like that.
Lick your finger.
Yeah.
Tap it in the ash from the fire, obviously, once it's cooled.
And then that is like the ultimate exfoliant for removing dye.
Really?
Oh, because it soaks it up.
I don't know.
Does it soak up the dye?
I don't know.
Wow.
But yeah, that would charcoal work.
I remember that was when you'd clean the window of the fireplace,
you'd get wet newspaper and dip it in the ash left behind,
and it would like scrub glass really, really well.
Wow.
All right, well,. Wow. All right.
Well, we'll take some calls.
Claudia, when did you not read the instructions?
I was making dinner for my family.
I made Thai green curry and we always used like a paste from a jar.
Yeah.
But I didn't really read the instructions.
We went to eat it and nobody could eat it because it was so spicy and hot.
I used the whole jar, but I was only supposed to use a third of it.
I know that little jar with the yellow lid.
Yeah, I know that.
And you used like one or two tablespoons max.
Yeah.
And you did a whole jar.
Wow. Yeah. Did you did a whole jar. Wow.
Yeah.
Did you water it down
or did you just all throw it out?
We just threw it out
because we had already put, like,
coconut milk and everything
trying to, like, make it better,
but it didn't work.
I've never made a green...
We've got it,
and Sade will make green curry,
but I've never known him.
I would have done the same thing because I would have been like, yum,
this is more flavour.
Whole jar.
No, no.
Your whole jar.
Yeah, you can do like four different curries out of a jar, really.
Wow.
Claudia, thanks for your call.
Some messages in.
Someone said the internet is the thing I use without reading the instructions.
When I was living in England, my n Nana sent me 100 pounds for my birthday.
I used it to buy myself and my cousin tickets to see Miranda live.
But didn't read the information properly and booked the tickets for 2014 instead of 2013.
The visa ended before the show, so I had to give the tickets away.
Always read when you're booking for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Partner and I decided to put a bookcase together after a day of copious drinking.
Didn't bother with the instructions
because, you know, it's a bookshelf.
How many ways could it possibly go together?
Well, the back panel and the shelves are inside out.
Oh.
I guess.
And you can see the particle board on the front of the shelves.
Oh, no, no, no.
Still.
Like, they left it like that.
Yeah, take it apart.
That's disgusting.
You shouldn't be able to see.
I mean, we all know everybody's bookshelves are made of particle board,
but we don't want to see it.
Yeah, hide it.
We all know everybody's using the cheapest,
crappiest material for their bookshelves,
but hide your shame against the wall.
Somebody said,
every time, don't read how much pasta you need to cook per person.
And the other day I made a dish for two and there was like three quarters of the pot left over.
Just put the whole bag in.
Yeah.
Let's reheat that later.
Yum.
Also, you never, always underestimate how much that swells.
Like, yeah, I can eat all of that.
I know, it really does swell, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Mmm.
Pasta.
Buddy.
Real swelly.
Huh?
It just always does. Yeah, it swells up. Pasta. Real swally. Huh? It just always does.
Yeah, it swells up.
Pasta's so swole.
And spaghetti.
I mean, that's the type of pasta, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Was there any truth to that thing about the spaghetti spoons,
you know, the ones with the claws on the outside
and then the hole in the middle
and the hole was how much spaghetti per person?
Oh, yeah, but that was too little, right?
That wasn't enough spaghetti.
Nah.
Is that a serving size of spaghetti?
Yeah, which is never enough.
Serving sizes are dumb. Rubbish.
So dumb. There was chocolate the other day, it was like,
serving size, two squares. I'm like,
um, what?
Yeah, that's just to cover their ass when people
come for them. They're like, um, we've put on
the packet. You made me fat.
Hey, you made me fat!
And they're like, no, refer to the packet. I told you,
two squares. I thought you made me fat. And they're like, no, refer to the packet. I told you, two squares.
I thought you meant two blocks.
Next, I've got the physical signs that someone's into you.
Oh, don't do that.
Did you see that?
Oh, it's just. Eyebrow.
Just raised her overly painted eyebrow at me.
Yeah.
Thank you.
It looked like a pointy witch's finger.
Okay.
Thank you. Lovely. All. It looked like a pointy witch's finger. Okay. Thank you.
Lovely.
All right, next.
ZM.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
I have a bunch of signs that someone's into you.
These are physical signs.
So if you're standing in front of someone, you find them quite attractive.
You're on a date or something.
Like body language stuff.
Yeah.
More than just body language, though.
Like actual physical signs.
Stiffies.
Okay.
Jesus. It's not on the list. No, that's not. Stiffies. Okay. Jesus.
It's not on the list.
No, that's not.
But I'm not disputing it.
That's not just for men.
That's women, too.
Please don't.
Stiff nipples.
Everybody, it might be cold.
The air con might be up too high.
How old are you?
What else would you like me to call them?
Erections.
That sounds so much more,. It does sound more scientific.
Okay, that is their name.
Certainly a sign someone's into you.
We'll give you that.
It is.
We'll give you that.
It wasn't on my list, so you've added something.
Thank you, Vaughn.
Stiff.
Yep.
I can add some more too.
I'll start thinking.
No, it's fine.
Their pupils are dilated.
I was just about to say,
a-ooga eyes. Technically, Their pupils are dilated. What about... I was just about to say, a-ooga eyes.
Technically,
your pupils are dilated.
Unless you're at like a dance party then.
I mean,
you just think everyone's into you.
But apparently,
oxytocin, dopamine and stuff,
they help dilate your pupils.
Right.
And it's so that you can be wide-eyed
and like study the interesting details
of something in front of you
that you're into.
So, literally, your pupils will give you
away.
What am I talking about? I'm only going to go on dates.
I'm not going on dates.
I'm married and if I'm not married one day
I'm certainly not going dating again.
I only go on dates in dimly
lit areas.
Because their pupils have to be big and then
by proxy they have to be big and by proxy, they have to be
into you. What if you
go on a date and you're at the beach in the sunshine
and they're facing the sun
and they've got pinhole eyes
are they not into you or are they
into you but the sun is... I don't know, the environment's
working against you. Yeah, okay.
Turn them around so the sun's not in their eyes.
Vaughn's got a point, go on dimly lit
dates in dimly lit places. In dimly lit places.
Caves.
Caves.
Basements.
Yep.
Carpark buildings.
Yes, carpark buildings.
Under wharves.
Yep.
Warehouses.
Yeah.
There's some great spots for the first dates.
Yeah.
The next one is...
The back of a van.
Okay.
Someone's breathing pattern could sync up with yours if they're into you.
Oh, okay.
But then you're going to sit there going.
You just kind of lean over and you're just like.
Trying to listen to their breath.
Just hearing you breathe.
Do you do that?
If you get into bed and your partner's already asleep and you match their breathing and you'll be asleep in no time.
It says that, yeah, partners do this naturally because because you know, they're into each other and they can
sync up their heart rate
and their breath.
I just do it. I'm like, she's already asleep
so she must be onto something with this breathing
and so I'll
try to do it at the same time. Do you ever
find like, what if they breathe in and it's like a
long one and you're just like
Oh, you've got to be ready for that next time.
You've got to be ready to go next time. You've got to be ready to go next time.
It's a bit deeper than I thought.
So you've got to wait or then you're out of sync
and it's weird. And then
Sade wakes up and I'm like right in behind
her going
Going to sleep.
I'm trying to make you a breathing.
Okay.
If you're on a date and someone's sweating profusely,
that is a sign that they're apparently into you.
But it's also not.
No.
Totally attractive.
It's not super sexy that they're soaked in the pits.
No.
Yeah.
Raised eyebrows, a physical sign that someone's into you.
Okay.
Is that because you're like in tree?
You're like, okay.
But again, if they're sitting in the sun squinting,
that could be why as well.
So don't go for dates in the sun.
But they'll be sweating.
Yeah, true.
But they'll be squinting.
And they'll have pinholes.
Yeah.
Blinking rapidly apparently is another sign that someone's into you.
But again, the sun.
You're making their eyes so dry
that they feel the need to
rapidly moisturise their eyeballs.
Yeah. So the moral of the story
is don't go on a date in the sun and you
can see the physical signs it's not into you.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Well, Megan, you're famous for doing Christmas shopping
early. I have the gun.
It's true. In fact, you said on
Friday, you were like, when you left work, you were like I might put on my Christmas tree this weekend. I have the gun. It's true. In fact, you said on Friday you were like, when you left work, you were like,
I might put on my Christmas dress this weekend.
I didn't.
I want to. I'm resisting just because
I usually do it at the end of October.
It doesn't feel... Because if you
do it early, you're getting to the end of
October and you're not going to have that little
bump.
I want to like
pace myself. Yeah. Yeah. Because want to like pace myself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because if you go early, yeah, and then it'll get to October and you're like, well, let's
open the presents.
Yeah.
I need something else.
End of October and then it'll get to Christmas and you're like, what do we do now?
Well, we're 67 days away from Christmas and a study has shown that one in five Americans
had started holiday shopping last month.
Where?
Because of, I'm guessing,
the news of the global supply chain
and shortages and issues.
There's been a few stories about it on the news.
They're like, if you want toys,
then you better get shopping now.
And then kids are watching the news
and they're like, ah!
Panic!
Ah! I want toys.
And there was a story, I think Thursday last week, Trade Me have seen new toy sales on
their site up 40% compared to last year.
Wow.
So if you don't want to have a screaming, crying kid or two at Christmas, get onto it
now.
Because yeah, it looks like if you're going to leave it
until December,
you're going to be tough out of luck.
Do you know Trade Me is so lit currently?
Like we've been selling things.
Let's calm down on the use of lit.
We've been selling things on Trade Me.
People are going bananas.
Like paying,
like wanting to pick it up straight away.
I'll offer you like so much money.
What are you selling?
Like outdoor furniture and all sorts of random stuff that we were money. What are you selling? Like outdoor furniture and
all sorts of random stuff that we were like,
what are you going to sit on outside? And like all these light
fittings and things that we changed in the house.
Are you stripping your house?
Take down the lights.
But we got a new, like a bigger outdoor
set. But the old set, people
were like fizzing for.
Is it because they can't... Have to sit outside?
That too, but is it because they can't... Have to sit outside? That too, but is it because
they can't get a new outdoor set?
Probably. They have to wait like six
weeks or God knows how long. But if you have
anything at home that you're like, oh, I should sell that.
Do it now. I don't want to.
People are like,
what is the centimetres from
the end to the end?
And you're like, what is it?
What is the depth of the pillow? I'm like, it's just a what is it? And they're like, no, no, that end, the other end. What is the depth
of the pillow?
I'm like,
it's just a pillow.
What do they want
to know how thick
the,
what do you call
those things?
A squab thing.
They want to know
how thick the squab is.
Oh no,
that's a good,
that's a fair question
because you know
when you,
have you ever sat
on a seat
and then like,
you look at it
and you think,
that's going to be
really soft and comfy
and then you sit
down too fast
and you go,
tonk,
onto the bottom.
But when you buy that from a shop, I guess you can maybe sit on it.
But you don't get the dimension.
You can see.
It's a pillow.
It's a normal squab.
Yeah, but they might be looking at it thinking,
what if this is a miniature couch?
Because we've all seen those stories online about the person that bought something
and it ends up being a miniature.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is draining. All right, well well you've been warned 67 days away from Christmas.
Get onto it ASAP
if you don't want disappointed family
members. Otherwise just get them a voucher, right?
Those will still be around. Yeah. We'll just use it as an
excuse and be like, oh I should have missed out.
Or service station presents.
Christmas Day, that always works a treat, doesn't it?
Here's a fuel can and a map.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Some sunglasses.
And a trumpet.
It is all in the name, but this is where we refund someone's date.
They went on the date, it didn't go to plan, and it was not pleasant.
We welcome to the show, Toni. Good morning.
Good morning. How are you?
Good. So, Toni, start from the start. What happened?
So, I work at a small shop, let's just say, not to let off too much information.
Okay, the warehouse.
Yeah, cook and bacon shop, let's just say that.
Okay.
So, I was out the back actually in the kitchen
and he'd come into work a couple of times this day
and he ended up giving his number to one of my colleagues
who came out the back and gave it to me and said,
look, this guy's given your number, given his number.
And I said, oh, yes, I saw him out the front there.
He's pretty damn cute, you know.
Oh, okay.
So I texted him and a couple of days go by,
we've been texting back and forth.
Yeah.
And then I realised, okay, he actually wants to take me out
and I don't usually go on dates with anybody,
so I was pretty excited.
And we decided he'd come out on the beach
to where I was a bit more comfortable.
So we went down the beach
and I made us a milkshake at my workplace.
And we're sitting in the car watching the sun
go down and we were talking
about
what attracted us to each other
kind of in the first place and he
asked me first and I said, well,
I don't know, you had a cute smile
or I thought you were pretty cute and you seemed
warm. I think I actually remember telling him
his aura was yellow because he felt really
bright to me. Okay.
Oh God, what did he say?
Here we go. He goes,
oh, that's really interesting because I wasn't
actually attracted to you at all, but your eyes
saved you.
What? That's a compliment, that wasn't it?
Excuse my language, but who the hell
says that? How did he just say
you have beautiful eyes?
I know.
I was like, oh, okay.
Thank you.
And then I don't really remember what happened from there after that conversation,
but I remember going home and then we decided maybe like a week or so later
that he wanted to catch up again.
So I was like, okay, maybe he was just a bit nervous.
Give it another go kind of thing.
Oh, no.
Okay.
So I should mention that that night while we were at the beach,
I spent $40 on fish and chips for us, which we sat and ate in my Swift.
Oh, the Swift. Okay.
It was Riley.
And then, so this other time, I drove up to where he was living,
which happened to be Palmerston North,
and we went to like a food thing, festival
thing there, which
was strange anyway because his family
had a food stall there, but we weren't allowed to go
over there because he wasn't sure his papa would
agree with having me there,
which was strange, but okay.
Okay, strike two, that is.
Strike two? Strike three, we went
to the, actually,
strike three, we went to the botanical gardens for a walk
Around the river and he asked
Me like why are you you know like why are you
Single like why did you go on a date with me
Like how do you not have a boyfriend and I kind
Of said well I've been working on myself
And he said oh I'm actually
Single because my girlfriend
Moved away about eight months ago and I'm
Would still probably still be together if she was
Here but yeah I thought it was time to try something new he is the king of self-sabotage
I'm digging this approach okay time to try something new yeah I know what does that mean
and so was that you were like I'm pulling the pin on this yeah so I pretty much like I was like oh
yep cool so we left the day I'm not I'm not nasty so on this. Yeah, so I pretty much like, I was like, oh, yeah, cool. So we left the day.
I'm not nasty.
So I was lovely, of course, and passing.
And then we left.
Yeah.
But he messaged me again a few days later, like, you know, hey, how are you?
Kind of thing.
And I was quite vague.
But he wanted to catch up one more time.
Bless him.
And he came down and I said, look, it's nice to see you, but I'm not really interested in taking it any further.
And then he cried in my car while I asked him to leave.
Oh, no.
He's just not a very good communicator.
If you're listening right now, God, you're a lovely boy, but crocky.
Yeah, right.
Oh, dude.
Oh, my dude.
I'm so sorry. He must have quite liked you then.
Yeah, he must have.
And I, sweetheart, honestly.
He really liked you, but why didn't he say that?
Yeah, like, you were already in my car for the date,
so don't tell me that you weren't actually attracted to me at the first place.
Oh.
Well, Tony, how much money
do you think you spent? How much would you like
to claim back? I would like to claim back
$70, $40 for the fish and chips
and $30 for the gas I spent driving
to Palmy to be in the whole thing.
Alright, okay. Do they still do that
$5 departure fee in Palmy?
You don't want to claim for that too, or is that just
the airport ages ago?
That was just the airport ages ago.
We'll leave the $5 and we'll leave it flat. Yeah, no, they used to do that, but they don't want to claim for that too? Or is that just the airport ages ago? That was just the airport ages ago. And they justified it.
We'll leave the five and we'll leave it flat.
Yeah, no, they used to do that, but they don't do it anymore.
I didn't know if you had to pay it with the car still.
I haven't been out of Palm before a while.
No, I don't think so.
Okay.
All right.
Well, let's put that into the date refund.
Still running the $3,000 model? Still running the $3,000, yeah.
Your date refund request has been...
Accepted.
Yay!
It's been accepted.
That's great news.
Well done, Tony.
$70.
All yours.
Yeah, man.
Thank you so much.

We're joined this morning by Fergus.
Good morning, Fergus.
Good morning.
Have you been poring over the clues?
Oh, yeah, a little bit.
And could you work out the sign language clue,
which is the latest clue?
No, unfortunately, I don't find.
Soundkeeper Owls.
Hello.
Hi.
Quite a hard clue then, it turns out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, well, you know the other clues?
You've seen the previous guesses that we've had.
For $15,000, what is this sound?
I believe it's a mailbox opening.
A mailbox opening, right?
Yeah.
Have you received much mail recently, Fergus?
Were you out there the other day opening the mailbox?
I got some few packages, join level three.
Oh, what did you get?
Got some shorts.
Stay on the phone afterwards, Fergus.
I'm going to buy some shorts.
Yeah, Vaughan's after some shorts, Fergus.
Do they have good pockets?
They have great pockets.
Yeah, okay.
How far down the leg do they go, Fergus?
They're pretty short. They're five inches. Short. Yeah, okay. How far down the leg do they go, Fergus? Oh, they're pretty short.
They're five inches.
Oh, shorty short.
You must have some bloody killer thighs to show off.
That's not long.
Like, I'm thinking of, you know, half a subway.
No, those are running short lengths, right?
Running shorts of, like, five inches.
Do they have an inner mesh to stop things popping out?
Yeah, well, I hope so.
Or I guess you just wear a jock.
They're very short, Fergus.
I think we've actually been, Fergus has gone quiet there.
He doesn't like this line of questions.
Sorry, Fergus.
We've maybe over-familiarised ourselves with you.
Except it's time.
What undies do you wear, Fergus?
Oh, stop.
For $15,000, owls?
Well, just like my grandma falling over on the weekend.
That's not right, Fergus.
Did she ever fall?
Did she take a fall?
Yeah.
My grandma fell.
It's okay.
She's all right.
Oh, jeez.
That can kill them at that age.
I know.
You've got to be careful, Gran.
She got back up, so that's what I want you to do, Fergus.
Get back up and get your shorts on and go for a run.
All right, Fergus. Get back up and get your shorts on and go for a run. All right, Fergus.
Hard luck, mate.
Another chance at 11 this morning with ZM's $50,000 secret sound.
All thanks to Neon.
Next on the show, I want to talk about what you've got a his and hers of.
Pretty cute.
We've got, Sade and I have a his and hers something.
I told you, he's taken over me and Andrew.
You guys are the grossest couple on the show now.
Yeah, because now you've got to focus on children,
and we've done that.
Ours are moving out of home soon.
Next week, I'm kicking them out.
I'm like, nine and seven seems old enough.
You're on your own now.
All right, we'll go delve into that next.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
Made another click and collect on Friday.
I may have a problem.
I did two.
I did two Mighty 10 click and collects in one day.
You sounded like you were going to say three.
Well, no, I did one on Thursday.
But then I did two on Friday.
But I had an 11 and then a 130.
So I rang up and I said, I hate to be this guy,
but can I just come once and pick up everything at 11?
And they were like, what was the other time?
I was like, 130.
And they're like, no, because that's pushing something earlier.
And I was like, ah, worth a try.
Can I pick them all up at 1?
And the girl was like, yeah, that's much easier.
We can make that work.
Right.
Hate to be that guy, but I will be that guy.
Hate to be that guy, but I'm that guy.
Hate to be that guy, but here I am being that guy.
Well, one of the things I picked up were,
you may have heard us talking about this.
When were we talking about the weed pulling?
Oh, God.
That was a month ago. No!
Three weeks ago.
No, it was the start of last week, wasn't it? Or two weeks?
No, it was longer than that. Two weeks ago.
What a time, man. The times become irrelevant.
Yeah.
Times become irrelevant.
So, Sade enjoyed it
and it's one of the few, like,
yard chores I've found that she enjoys.
So I bought us his and her weed pullers.
Oh, my God.
Now, this was a tool you inserted into the ground.
You find the prongs?
Like a dock is a great example of it.
A tap root.
Yeah.
And the root goes down.
So this thing, you find the middle and you push it down.
And then when you lean it back, it closes the prongs down in the ground.
And then when you rock it back, it just plucks it out.
It's like pimple popping.
It's like Dr. Pimple Popper, but in your backyard and not your skin.
Yeah.
And you're stabbing it.
And then you have a little, oh, look how much of this one I got.
Right.
It's just like a little weed and then it's got this long root
and then you kind of stand around for a while looking at it
and be like, look at that.
And then you chuck it in the bucket and then you find the next one.
So she saw you doing this and got very excited.
She's like, can I have a turn?
I was like, oh, this isn't for everybody.
And then she did it and she got it out. I was like, you're a natural. Yeah. And she was like, oh, this isn't for everybody. And then she did it and she got it out.
I was like, you're a natural.
Yeah.
And she was like, this is quite satisfying.
And what do you call it?
Like calming, there's a word where you like do the sand raking.
Meditating.
Meditative.
Meditative?
Cathartic.
Cathartic.
All of these things.
Yeah, right.
And so I was like, well, I'm going to pounce on this opportunity.
So I got her one. So now we've got his and hers weed pullers. And so I was like, well, I'm going to pounce on this opportunity. So I got her one.
So now we've got his and hers weed pullers.
And I gave her the new one.
Foreplay looks a lot different in your house.
It's plucking weeds out the lawn.
And so did you all go out on the lawn and you did a his and hers weed?
Yep.
Oh, my God.
And we did that thing where she got the longest taproot of the day.
Right. Right.
Okay.
And she got the most unexpected taproot of the day.
That was where it was just a little weed on top,
but when the taproot came out, it was really long.
Oh, that would be exciting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's unexpected.
Like an iceberg.
Yeah.
It's like an iceberg.
In fact, that's what we'll call the trophy from now on.
The iceberg award.
What are you having a trophy?
Well, we just have awards.
We talk about like...
Oh my God.
Yeah, I got...
I think I got...
You two both need to get out more.
Multi-route of the day.
Like, because you stabbed in a one,
but then ended up getting two out
at the same time with long...
I do want to play with this
next time I come over.
It does sound very fun.
It is fun.
But it's a bit funny.
Have you got specific ones
for her and for you? Or are they just both
the same? Mine's older.
So she gets a flash new one. No, hers isn't
pink. They're exactly the same. But you're right. We could
flare it up. Yep.
We could personalise it. Maybe, you know
those old, we used to get those old
stickers that were letters and you'd put the letter on and then
you'd rub it. Oh, you remember those.
And then you'd peel it off and it would leave the letter on there.
It's actually a great idea.
I might pick up some of that.
That sounds like another click and click.
Labelling our weed pullers.
Anything to pass the lockdown days.
But we've got his and hers.
Right.
We've got his and hers weed pullers.
Just that sentence, does that make you...
So that's like what I want to talk about now.
What in your couple do you have a his and hers?
It's the same.
So you've both got one.
Right.
Like his and hers, do you do his and hers knitting maybe on the couch?
I feel like that's where you guys are going next.
But then you would say we have a his and hers knitting needles.
Yeah, exactly.
His and hers knitting needles.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you have any his and hers?
I mean, I'm sure we do.
I can't think of anything quite as sexy as the weed pullers.
I mean, I've set the bar very high.
Usually we come in sort of mid-ground.
We take some better calls, some lesser calls.
I'll go home and I'll float the idea of maybe a his and her weed puller.
We could do that to pass the time.
You could definitely do that.
You've got total of a garden.
Yeah.
I don't think we've got any of those big dock situations.
In the grass, yeah.
Well, no, that's the thing.
Anything, you can pull out any weeds with these.
And that's the thing.
You can start going around parks when you run out of weeds.
Oh, my God.
His and hers.
That's a joke.
And he's like, oh, my God, yes. Yeah, no, it's not a joke. Because then afterwards we went out It's a joke and he's like, oh my God, yes.
Yeah, no, it's not a joke.
Because then afterwards we went out into the paddock
and Shadow's like, there's some out here.
I was like, should we get the his and hers weed pullers?
And she's like, I think we should save it for another day.
I was like, yeah, right.
Who knows how long we're going to be in this weird state of lockdown.
Probably do our paddocks and then just start doing the roadside.
Alright, well, is there something that you do
as a couple, his and hers?
We'd love to hear from you this morning.
0800 DARS at M. You can text as well
9696.
Talking about his
and hers. The matching
items that you have at
yours. Executive Intern Anya
has got a his and hers arriving today
with Mr Bun Buns.
What have you got arriving today?
His and hers ice cream.
Okay.
He's strictly allowed to have his orange choc chip
and I am strictly going to have the jelly choc ripple.
Oh, yeah, I'd go jelly choc ripple over.
One percent is over here.
It's two for nine. Ah, yeah, I'd go jelly chocolate ripple over. Oh, 1% is over here. It's two for nine.
Yeah, I like those.
What is it arriving today?
Well, I'm just getting my shopping today.
Oh, just getting the shopping.
Right, okay.
Well, you're not the only one.
Somebody said I've got his and hers blocks of chocolate.
When we buy them, it's strictly stick to your own block of chocolate.
If you finish yours early, it's on you.
Yeah, good, okay.
His and hers cereal bowls, they look exactly the same apart from his is bigger and mine's smaller.
You know, of the same set.
That's cute.
Tony, what are your his and hers?
We've got his and hers chain saws.
Oh!
Flash.
Okay.
Mine's a 14-inch, but his is a 20-inch.
Oh, okay. But he always nicks mine. Wait, it's a 14-inch, but his is a 20-inch. Oh, okay.
But he always nicks mine.
Wait, it's a 14-inch?
His is that.
Yeah, it's a handy little size for a chainsaw too.
Oh, it's an amazing little thing.
It's a beauty.
I like my chainsaw a lot.
What brand is it?
It's a still, of course.
Oh, of course, yeah, big orange.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Of course, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you've got to have a still. You wouldn't go on Husqvarna, would course. Oh, of course, yeah. Big orange. Of course. Of course, yeah. You've got to have a still.
You wouldn't go on Husqvarna, would you?
Oh, no.
God, that's a dirty word.
No.
Oh, okay.
I didn't.
Of course, we're not in there.
I don't know.
Tony's an asshole.
Brilliant odds.
Go with the still.
Okay, all right.
Well, if I ever buy a chain store,
store, I'll remember that.
You can't even say it.
I don't think you should be buying one.
I don't even have a tree or a backyard.
I don't think I'm ever going to be doing that.
Thanks, Tony.
Olivia, you've got his and hers.
Hi there.
How are you guys?
Good.
Yeah, we've got his and his sides of the toaster.
Oh, what side's your side?
It's always the left-hand side, and his is the right-hand side
because he does not give one hoot about what his toast looks like,
whereas I am a perfectionist about how I like my toast cooked.
And I want to teach our son how to do it properly.
Right.
Wait, so you can cook the sides individually
or the left-hand side just cooks it better than the right?
I just have mine set to three and a half.
He could have his set to three and a half.
He could have his set to six and would still eat it. He could have it set
to one and still eat it.
I can't deal with that kind of chaos.
You've got chill temperature controls.
Yes. Oh, that's fancy, isn't it?
I thought it was one control for all
holes.
Slots. What would you call them?
A slot or a hole?
A toaster hole.
A toaster slot.
I guess a slot, yeah.
Yeah, a slot sounds better. Well, a hole to me is circular, but a slot indicates dimensionally.
No, but a hole can be rectangular.
Oh, 100%.
But not as much as a slot.
Like you think about a grave hole.
That's rectangular.
Or a grave plot.
I wouldn't call it a grave hole or is it a
toaster plot all right guys gather around it's time to get buried it's trying to lower nana
into the grave hole what are you putting nana into the grave slot digging the grave
but it's just saying it's a rectangle and it's a hole. I don't think I'd call it a hole.
I think you're on your own with this. Either way, thank you, Olivia, for your Hazenhurst toaster.
Into the grave, yeah.
Into the grave, yeah.
Slot.
I now want to call it a grave slot.
We've got Hazenhurst peanut butter.
Crunchy for him, smooth for me.
Yeah, maybe we should do that.
I like the smooth.
We've got Hazenhurst NRL emblems above our bed. His are the Warriors, maybe we should do that. I like the smooth. We've got his and hers NRL emblems
above our bed.
His are the Warriors, mine's the Melbourne Storm.
Above the bed. Oh, so they'd be
a bit of hated. So when they play each other.

People that use powder.
We've got matching reusable coffee
cups and drink bottles. People think it's pretty
cute. It is pretty cute. Having a drink and we've got

Oh, yeah.
It's a little bit cute as well.
Some text messages, his and hers Crocs.
No, that's not cute.
Sorry.
Everyone's even Justin Bieber's into the Crocs, Kanye.
There's lots of things Justin Bieber's doing that we shouldn't do.
Outside of Fish and Chip Shop at the weekend, I saw some footwear and I said,
those are wacky looking Crocs to my friend.
And they said, those are Yeezys.
And I was like, those are the ugliest things I've seen in my life.
Those are the dumbest, dumbest shoes.
And I said it loud enough so the guy wearing them could hear them.
I was like, how much are those cost?
Well, he paid a lot of money for those.
I know.
That's what I was like.
Well, at least he didn't pay too much money. And my friend was like, oh, those cost a fortune. I'm like, how much are those costs? Well, he paid a lot of money for those. I know. That's what I was like, well, at least he didn't pay too much money.
And my friend was like, oh, those cost a fortune.
I'm like, what?
Damn fool.
Should have got some Crocs and just put them upside down in the oven
on 80 degrees for a bit until they're like.
That's actually how they make uses.
100%.
All right, Dad.
100%.
Lots of people with his and hers matching vehicles.
We've got his and hers Ford Falcons.
Somebody else said we've got his and hers rally cars.
Wow.
My husband and I have his and hers Harley Davidsons.
Good Lord.
His and hers Subaru Legacies.
Oh, okay.
Somebody else said when we renovated our house,
we had his and hers paint rollers.
And you weren't allowed to use the other person's paint roller
because my husband was not cleaning his paint brush and roller properly.
So he'd be buggering about painting his cleaning rollers.
Cleaning it afterwards.
Where is all that paint hiding?
Yeah, I know.
You just get under the tap and it keeps coming.
And you roll it out and it's more.
And then it's clean. And then you shake it. And then it's like, oh, I've got some more in here.
Sorry, I forgot what you were trying to claim me.
I've been holding on to this.
I just chucked them out and put a new one on.
And that's what I've always said.
You're all about the environment.
Yeah, thanks.
We've got his and hers bedroom toys.
Oh, okay.
Like he's got Monopoly and she's got Cluedo.
Yeah.
And they've got a shared connect for.
You don't want to get stuck in that.
His and hers tomato sauce.
I have Waddy's, he has Heinz.
Oh, that's controversial.
Yeah, right.
Well, one's ketchup, right?
And one's sauce.
Tom's sauce.
Yeah.
Very controversial.
CDM's Fletchborn and Megan.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
You may remember on Friday I was going to do a fact of the day,
but then I got a little sidetracked by a fact sent in by a friend of the show.
Moikalo Hagen.
Yeah, I do remember.
I heard from Moikalo Hagen at the weekend.
He said he was listening to the podcast while driving the tractor,
and he heard his name, and he was like, that's a bit neat.
And then he heard it again, and he was like, that's pretty cool.
And then he heard it again, and he was like, oh.
And then again, and he was like, that's pretty cool, and then he heard it again, and he was like, oh, and then again,
and he was like, hmm.
And then he heard it by the end, he was like.
Even Michael O'Hagan was like that. Even Michael O'Hagan had had a bloody guts full of this cayenne.
It was all for you, Michael O'Hagan.
Well, this is the effect that I was going to use on Friday
before I used Michael O'Hagan's fuck to the D.
It's about contra-rotating
thumbs. Now to participate, this is a participatory
fact of the day.
People have a favourite one. I need you to
interlock your fingers.
And then, you know, like twiddling your thumbs
where you're chasing your thumbs around each other.
Like you're going to play Pinnacle with yourself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now this is called contra-rotation
of thumbs.
Okay.
If you can do this,
your left side of your brain and your right side of your brain,
you've got a good connection.
If you've never practiced that,
this is something.
It's like patting your head and rubbing your tummy.
If you practice at it, you can do it.
Yeah.
But then, you know when you're patting your head
and you're rubbing your tummy?
Yeah.
Doing it. What? you're rubbing your tummy? Yeah. Doing it.
What?
You're rubbing your head.
What are you doing?
You're rubbing your head and your tummy.
Can you do it or are you just being silly?
No, you're...
I went to go pat my head.
You can only do both patting and rubbing.
So if you pat and rub and then quickly switch,
and can you pat and rub with the other hand?
No, because I just go, I rub my head.
He just pats or rubs.
I can't do it.
But practice.
If you practice it, you'll be able to do it.
I'll do it later.
I'll practice later.
I've got better things to do.
Well, you've just been made to look like a rat.
Yeah, haven't I?
So this is the same with corneal rotating thumbs.
Okay.
So get one thumb, the outside thumb,
whichever it be, the left and the right, going one way. Say forward, goes down at the front, then comes up at the back. Okay. So get your get one thumb, the outside thumb, whichever it be, the left and the right, going
one way. Say forward, goes
down at the front, then comes up at the back. Yep.
Now get the other thumb going the other way
on the inside.
It's very, very hard to do.
And if you can start... I can do that.
No, no, no, those are going the same way. I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, right.
One goes like this, forward,
and one goes backwards. But then they go on the way of each other. No, they don't, because you just... Oh, forward, and one goes backwards.
But then they go in the way of each other.
No, they don't because you just do it.
Oh, my God, that's so hard.
It's really, really hard to do.
You can get it with practice.
Forward, forward, forward.
If you can start them doing it, chances are they will naturally
start going the same way about half a turn in.
Yeah, they do.
It's called inexplicable synchronisation.
Huh.
Go the other way, Dick.
We're not strangers.
Okay, you do that.
Don't be hard on yourself.
You do that.
Stop it!
And you get really angry at one thumb.
That started one way but started doing the other.
Yeah.
So there's something you guys can all practise today.
If you're stuck in level 3.4878714.
Or you just want to waste some time at work today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then if the boss is like, what are you doing?
Waste your time doing that.
Saying, well, I'm actually trying to link the sides of my brain
to become a more efficient worker.
Yeah.
Is that it?
I don't know.
I don't know what that was. It was kind of like watching a kid ride a bike and knowing they're going to hit a bush or something. Yeah. Is that it? I don't know. I don't know what that was. It was kind of like watching
a kid ride a bike and knowing they're going to hit a bush
or something.
It was alright. So today's
fact of the day is if you can
contra-rotate your thumbs,
you got a good little brain linkage there, buddy.
Fact of the
day, day, day, day,
day.
Yeah. Day, day, day, day, day.
27 minutes away from 9, before 9 o'clock,
we have a chance for you to win $500 cash,
all thanks to Warehouse Mobile.
Warehouse Mobile will give you the chance to call up soon.
Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan.
Tinder have got a new section called Explore.
Tinder users will be able to access the new plus one option.
This is obviously a topic close to my heart.
Yeah.
As a regular Tinder user.
God, I missed that.
You did, you missed it.
Tinder came up after you met your wife. No, I missed that, like where you sit
around with a single friend and you go through all their
Tinder options. Oh, you love doing that.
Yeah. Orn loves doing that.
It's so exciting when you get
like a super like or like
someone else matches back.
Producer Caitlin was like great for that. You'd be
like, look, you need to just spread your options
a little bit more. Give me your phone.
Let's drag that radius right out.
Let's get that age group as high and low as we can go,
and then let's just meet up.
She loved it.
A whole lot of people from the middle of nowhere.
This is a new feature that will enable you to get a plus one.
So Explore's apparently going to have,
this is going to be full of different sorts of features.
Right.
Different ways of finding people, different criteria and stuff.
But plus one is specifically about finding someone to come with you to a wedding.
Like if you are friends with people, good enough friends,
that they're going to give you a plus one just without knowing them,
then you can use this feature
if you don't have a plus one
to find a plus one
so it'll say where the wedding's going
like what kind of wedding date you're after
are you after like
someone who's casual
or someone who dresses very smartly
is it somebody who's just gonna like
be a wallflower at the wedding
or do you want someone
that's gonna be you know
engaging people
with their special brand of chat?
As a wedding guest,
this would be very exciting
to witness.
Somebody bringing
a Tinder Plus One
that they hardly knew
to a wedding.
I would find this
so entertaining.
Like, could you imagine it?
And also,
they're not going to be
known to anyone.
So the first question is like,
oh, how did you guys meet?
Like, give that story on your relationship.
You have to make something up, right?
You wouldn't say I just met them on Tinder last week.
Tinder plus one.
It's my Tinder plus one.
I was exploring Tinder's new explore options.
So this is also in the same part of Tinder.
Again, I'm just reading out what I've read.
I haven't got any experience in this.
You're in the dark here, yeah.
But there was one called Vibes,
where it sounds like the voice version of dating.
Like you get matched with them more on their vibe
than your immediate look.
Right.
So you'd be like, my vibe is nature.
And then other people who have selected nature as their vibe,
you get matched with them.
But then are you nature
I like going for walks
and hikes in nature
to see unseen vistas
or nature as in
I don't wear deodorant.
Like which one?
And then there's two.
Yeah, that's why
you've got to work it out.
And each one very much
entitled to whatever
they want to do but maybe not as cohesive. Well there's two. Yeah, that's why you've got to work it out. And each one very much entitled to whatever they want to do,
but maybe not as cohesive.
Well, there you go.
Wedding season's coming up, so if you need a plus one.
Weddings are going to be limited to like 50 people.
There's no way anyone's having enough room for a plus one that they don't know.

Jessie joins us.
Good morning, Jessie.
Hey, guys. How are you going?
Good, good.
Now, so what we're going to do
is we're going to give you three objects or landmarks,
and you've got to tell us which one is lower,
just like Warehouse Mobile, New Zealand's low-cost mobile with top-ups.
From $5, you can grab a SIM and join today.
Or New Zealand's short-cost mobile, because that would also work the shortest.
Yes.
Of these landmarks.
Sure.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Let's go.
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building,
or Yosemite Falls in the Yosemite National Park?
Which is the lowest in metres?
In metres.
Yep.
Not above sea level.
And we're not doing elevation.
And we aren't doing tippity-top, aren't we?
So if it's a building, it's a tippity-top.
It's the tip of the building.
Yeah, because, you know, they put those needles on the top to make it longer. Well, the Empire State Building, do you know that was supposed to be an airship port?
What was that?
They were going to be able to dock blimps and stuff there and unload people at the observation deck.
And that was what that was for.
I'm going to say the Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel Tower.
And it would be...
Correct!
$500.
Well done, Jessie.
All yours.
Amazing.
Thanks so much, guys.
That was completely a guess, wasn't it?
Maybe.
No, I probably would have done that one as well. I've had no idea. Out of interest, though, That was completely a guess, wasn't it? Maybe. No, I probably would have
done that one as well.
I've had no idea.
Out of interest, though,
what was the tallest?
The tallest,
the Yosemite Falls
from top to bottom,
739 metres.
Oh, wow.
The Empire State Building,
443 metres
to the tippy tip
and the Eiffel Tower,
324 metres to the tip.
All right.
Yeah, you got it.
Well done.
$500 all thanks

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Awesome turnout at the weekend for Super Saturday, the Vax-a-thon.
Oh, yeah, and an awesome turnout that night at a party on Auckland's North Shore,
the North Shore of Auckland.
That is the upper part of Auckland, if you were to look at it on a map.
The North Shore, the one up over the bridge, the North Shore.
My favourite part of all of this was this morning or last night
when a, what were they called?
An aerosol chemist.
An aerosol chemist, yeah.
Came out and said that, yes, humping is dry humping.
Dry humping is not great. Dry humping is not great.
Dry humping is not a COVID-friendly activity
outside of your bubble. I can say that with some certainty.
Some certainty.
Wow. Well, I'm going to take that
piece of information, and you can use that
to your advantage.
You could, you know, to someone in your bubble
proposition a dry hump
because you've just heard that there's something you're allowed to do
within your bubble.
They're in your bubble. proposition a dry hump because you've just said that there's something you're allowed to do within your bubble. They're in your bubble.
It's been a while between dry humps
for this fellow.
So there was
this big douchebag party full of douchebags
breaking the rules
which this sort of thing is
only going to make it longer and worse for all of us
so yes, we should all be fairly disappointed at this bunch of people who considered themselves above make it longer and worse for all of us. So, yes, we should all be fairly disappointed
at this bunch of people who considered themselves
above the rules and better than the rest of us.
But what were you...
Like, you know you're breaking the rules,
and I'm not condoning it, but why put it on social media?
I know.
Because you think you're above the rules.
You're so dumb.
You're from such a position of privilege and arrogance
that you think you're above the rules
that everybody else is adhering to.
Yeah.
Idiots.
Well, some of them have come out and apologised.
Yeah.
And said, maybe don't give us death threats.
Well, no, because you've threatened death upon yourself,
basically, by flouting the rules against the...
Yeah.
A deadly disease.
The government meeting today to discuss the current levels.
Do you know what I reckon they should do is delete their Instagram accounts.
Yeah, take away their TikTok.
Yeah, no, some of them have deleted their...
Yeah, because of the death threats.
A couple of them, though.
That should be the punishment.
You don't have to look too hard online to find out their backup accounts.
I mean, that would be completely up to you if you wanted to have a look for that sort of thing.
But yeah, that would be a good punishment.
Yeah, you're not allowed to use Instagram.
TikTok.
Imagine.
You'd be like, hey, Maggie.
Who was it?
There was that influencer crying because she got banned from Instagram.
And everyone was like, oh, my God.
Like, literally, this was during the pandemic.
Like, people were dying and stuff.
And she's like, I deleted my Instagram.
It's like, ah, hon.
Perspective.
Ah, honny, honny, hon.
