Welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's all thanks to McDonald's. Your Macca's favourites are back at drive-thru and McDelivery. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. It's five minutes past six. Happy Friday. Yay! Have we worked out whose turn it is for Flashback Friday today? I have a sneaky feeling it might be mine. Is it? Let's start with Megan then.

So it takes the pressure off us, doesn't it? Or after a holiday, do we just start from the beginning? Like, Fletch, Vaughn. Why did it be Vaughn? We'd have to start with Vaughn. No, I feel like I was one of the last ones that went because remember I played... That's right, it is your turn Megan

Good He's like one week I wanted to play one week but then the guy from another band died

Stacey's mum Stacey's mum found us a way and so he played Stacey's mum and then followed up with another one before nine

and then lockdown so it is your turn Megan 8 o'clock this morning just before that Dua Lipa is on the phone with us from lockdown in

the UK, I'm assuming. Exciting. Also, coming off, I'll tell you how to combat jealousy in your relationship. Okay. Vaughan, the top six on the way. Air New Zealand is 80. Wow. The top six signs. Looks great. Air New Zealand is an 80-year-old.

Coming up. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. The Arizona State University has been doing some work. Good from them. Yep. Good that they're in the middle of Arizona. Phoenix, Arizona. Sure, yeah.

Sure. Don't know, maybe. That's the only place I knew in Arizona. And they've looked into the effect of phones on our eyeballs. Because if you think about the entirety of human history and how long we've had phones, mobile phones, screen exposure, it's literally the blink of an eye. True.

Yeah, it is. In the space of human history. And screens, really, in general. And we've jumped in the deep end of the pool too. We didn't like do screens for a couple of seconds and then in a hundred years we added a couple more average seconds. We didn't do it slowly.

We've jumped right in. We've jumped in. Yeah. So, and this includes smartphone use, computer use at work, people actually reading books on devices. The screen at McDonald's. Where you make your order.

Because I'm there for a while. That's adding up. That's screen time. TV, screens, the lot. Well, it's not good news, as you can imagine. Looking at your phone for two hours a day can lead to dry and irritated eyes. Two hours. Two hours.

That's rookie numbers. You don't need to pump them up. Sensitivity to light and headaches caused by the light. Yeah, right. That's why I take those blue light capsules. Duh. That's a load of rubbish, isn't it? Well, I don't have...

Pay for them. Yeah, good call. When you get a free multivitamin, you're like, I ain't got nothing to lose here. Yeah, true. You'll take a bit. When it comes to paying for them all, it's like, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

You won't be getting money out of my wallet. Unproven medication thing. And this blue light one sounds right up there. When you open a multivitamin and it looks really weird, you're like, it must work because it looks so different. It's like a little black capsule thing. I'm like, whoa. So what are they saying?

We've got to go back in time and not look at screens so much. Yeah, we've got to find. If you read, they're saying it's, and this might be big book getting involved here. Yeah. It's better to read on paper. The big book industry. Like the book industry.

You know, the ruthless mafia. No one is being ruthless. Big pharma, big gas. Big book. Big book. They're trying to get us off our devices and back onto paper. Onto big books. Like Penguin.

Oh, no. I wouldn't have even said their name. No. They're taunting them. Do you guys have Kindles? No, your old school book. You love Kindles. I have a Kindle. That's different, though.

It doesn't have my... It's not backlit. It's not backlit, yeah. It's a different kind of... Yeah, because it doesn't hurt your eyes. But I don't... And you find a lot of people that do nine to five office jobs have problems staring at screens all day.

Yeah. I mean, I can't relate. Not relate. Ours are just a couple a day, a couple hours. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. What do you do? You get blue blocker sunglasses.

I don't know. Right. Well, they. What do you do? You get blue blocker sunglasses. I don't know. Right. Well, they just said that the numbers of people suffering visual fatigue and other eye-related illnesses and strains has gone through the roof

and that's exactly why. Well, that study from the University of Arizona and, Vaude, you may have to issue an apology here because It's not a phoenix? Tucson.

Tucson! Tucson! Tucson! It's in Tucson. The town named after the Hyundai. What's the bird? What's that? A Tucson?

That's a toucan. Good God. But Puffin, that's another book company from Big Book. From Big Book. I've got six ways that you can combat jealousy in your relationship. Yes, I have jealous moments, but this article also says that

jealousy is normal in a relationship, but it's how you deal with it that's important. Okay. So six ways that you can combat jealousy. Install spyware on your partner's phone. Yes, or throw their phone in the ocean and ban them from getting another one.

No. Ban them from Instagram. Those hot Instagram models. You need to be supportive of each other's feelings so that jealousy is natural. It is important that when they're jealous

you listen to them rather than lash out. If you were going out with someone and they weren't ever jealous of you, would you be like red flag? Yeah. They don't need to be jealous, but you're right. If they didn't

show, not jealousy is not the right word, but if they were, they didn't care at all. Not concerned about where you were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So where someone might be like, where were you? Because this is one of the examples it gives. When you're in a committed relationship, you do sacrifice some freedom.

So you should be willing to text them and give them updates on when you are or if you're going to be out late. Right. Because they worry about you. Also, know that jealousy in small doses is actually a good sign going on from what we just said. Yeah. Jealousy doesn't happen without a reason. When you start a relationship, you're kind of like, oh, well, I don't really have much to lose.

But once you get invested in each other, your partner might be jealous because the relationship matters to them. So that's important to remember if you get into an argument over jealousy. Right. So if, for example, they think that you've cheated on them, but you haven't, and they put a pickaxe through your car windscreen, you can be like, well, that's good. I would say that's slightly a little bit more than the previously mentioned little bit of jealousy.

Right, okay. This one's weird. So in order to combat jealousy in your relationship, they say that you should set aside jealousy time. So address the fact that there is something that's annoying you, like your partner might have a really hot workmate and they talk a lot or whatever, and they say to write that down, put it aside,

and address it during your jealousy time. This seems close to the bone, Vaughn. No, I just think that's stupid. It's come to a head. Megan has to work with two hot men, day in and day out, and Mr. Toyboy has had enough. Yes, my husband is very concerned

about me working with you two. Very concerned. There's no need for a couple of hot mama jammers. Very concerned. A couple of sexy

Tim the Toolman Taylor types at work. He's very concerned. Okay. Lower your expectations. So you can't expect your partner to never be attracted to anyone because that's very concerned. Okay. Lower your expectations. So you can't expect your partner to never be attracted to anyone

because that's not natural. Because it goes against human nature, doesn't it? Yeah. It's not okay to act upon the attraction, but they're going to find other people in the world attractive at some point. So get over it. Okay, yep. Re-evaluate your toxic habits. Wait, are they allowed to message those people on Instagram? No.

They are not. Right. Re-evaluate your toxic habits. So if you are stalking your partner on social media or if you're trying to check up on the texts and everything, that's going to make you more anxious, especially if you find something. That's not a good thing to get into. You need to re-evaluate why you're doing that.

If you're not monitoring them 24-7 on Find Friends, then how do you know if they're slipping up? Like, there might be someone in bed beside you, but how do you know that's not a very realistic-looking dummy that's on and online? Okay. And betrayal will not end you. Apparently, a lot of jealousy comes from the fact

that people are scared that if they break up with the person they're with, there's no one else for you. Right. They get really jealous and cling on to them when when if you break up, there will be someone else. Unless they're your soulmate and you ensure you're going to be with them forever. No, it will not end there. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM.

From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Happy 80th birthday, Air New Zealand. I've been around for 80 years. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. From flying boats. I don't know if they're in the mood to celebrate today. No, but I think that they've got to acknowledge it.

Yeah. It's like most 80-year-olds. They're probably like, bugger off. Because their first flight It was a flying boat Wasn't it? Yes it was Yeah Mechanics Bay

Over to Sydney Or the other way around I think it was to Sydney To Sydney And then I think it came back Yeah And then went back again And then I think

That's how it was Gone ever since What do you mean a flying boat? A flying boat Like a boat plane Yeah a boat plane Like a water plane And it took like

Eight hours to get to Sydney Don't say a flying boat No Because that boat plane. Yeah, a boat plane. Like a water plane. And it took like eight hours to get to Sydney. Don't say a flying boat because that conjures up different images. Because you know there's a difference between a plane that can land on water, a flying boat, but they're all different categories. Oh, really? A flying boat is a boat with the ability to take off. Now what's that

duck that's also a boat? That's an amphibious vehicle. Right, okay. That's a duck. That's a bus that's a boat. A bus duck an amphibious vehicle. Right, okay. That's a bus. That's a bus that can't fly. Right, okay. If you could do all three, what a vehicle you would be. Absolutely. But 80 years old, but the top six signs that Air New Zealand is an 80-year-old. Number six, they don't fill your tea or coffee right up as they might spill it on the way to you.

Which is a nana classic. They pour it at the table to avoid traversing distance with full cup. Number five on the list of the top six signs that Air New Zealand is 80, they always talk about the old days. Yeah. Yeah, they talk about all the different things that they've done. We've just been talking about their flying boats. Yeah, I remember when this was a flying boat. Or water planes or whatever they call it.

Number four on the list of the top six signs that Air New Zealand is 80, they always want to tell you what the weather's doing, where they're going. On the way, just leaving Christchurch, they're telling you what's happening in Auckland. It's like, we're not there yet, granddad. Just chill till we get a little bit closer. Number three on the list of the top six signs that Air New Zealand is 80 are they frown on too much nudity.

You can't take your pants off. Yeah. Or your top off. It used to be cool when Air New Zealand was 30. Oh, yeah, they used to let you sit there nude, didn't they? Oh, yeah, they loved it. But now that they're 80, they like to wear a bit more cover.

They do. They let you have a ciggy too back in the day. Yeah. And they cooked those steaks on a grill right up the front, didn't they? Yeah. They had a barbecue. They did. They had a hot grill.

At the front of the plane. That's frowned on these days. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six signs that Air New Zealand is 80. You always have to drive to go to see them. They don't like coming to your house. Yeah. And then when you do, I bet they moan that you haven't been there lately.

Yeah. In a passag way. Yeah. But then there's lots of sandwiches, so make up for it. And then when you do, I bet they moan that you haven't been there lately. Oh, yeah. In a passag way. Yeah. But then there's lots of sandwiches, so. Yeah. Make up for it. And number one on the list of the top six signs that Air New Zealand is 80,

they're always offering you more biscuits and lollies than you really need. Biscuit? No, thanks. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm good. And then you get into a Z and they're like, lollies? You're like, oh. Nana.

Okay, Nana. One for each hand. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, You're like, oh. Nena. Okay, Nena. One for each hand. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. A Spanish news anchor has had to address something that happened on a live video call. This has been so fun. Oh, it's so great.

I'm loving all the, seeing all the celebrities and all the news anchors and all the different people in their houses. On the insides of their houses. Yep. Trying to work FaceTime and Zoom and Skype. Yeah. Yeah, and then what's happening in the background sometimes.

And you did your show all on. Why did you have your big headphones on and everyone else didn't? Were you conscious of that? Yes. Have you been paying attention? That was the decision that the production team made. Right. Were they your gaming headphones?

Yeah, because originally they wanted to use the microphone in the headphones. Right. The gaming, but then they changed their mind. Because you look like that guy bringing in the planes with your big headset on.

Yeah, I looked like a sports commentator who was doing it from home. Yeah, no, I was very well aware of that. I was like, are you sure? And they're like, yeah. I was like, as long as you're sure, they're like, yeah, we're sure. I'm like, okay. Come. And they're like, yeah. I was like, as long as you're sure, they're like, yeah, we're sure. I'm like, okay.

Cool. Okay. So this Spanish news anchor, he was at his house, I believe, doing a video call and it's a big lounge area and obviously the person in the background didn't know that they were in shot

because they're in the distance and it turns out it's his naked mistress. Okay. So he is going out with a Big Brother star. So this is why everyone's like, say what? Her name is Marta Lopez. Okay.

He has come out and said, if you think that my attitude has not been correct or that there are things that I have not done well, I have no problem asking for forgiveness, although my goal was not to harm someone else. But she was naked in this live TV cross. So was he cheating with her? So he's now since said that, like,

they've only, his girlfriend from Big Brother, they've only been kind of going out for a few weeks. Right. But she says they've been going out for several weeks. Right. He's in trouble. Did you see that woman who was, I think she was, was she American or British? And she was working from home and she was doing a story on cutting your own hair.

And her husband was naked in the shower behind her. But she didn't know that the camera's reflection was catching him, and he was like leaned up against the glass, and you could see his wang. Oh, no. Yes. It's good times. It's great times. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

British vegetarians, this is a British study, but I would say it would translate to New Zealand. It has found that one in three of vegetarians like to have a little bit of meat when they're drunk. A little slip. A little slip off the... A little... What, do you say bandwagon?

Nah, because you've jumped on the bandwagon. That's jumping on the bandwagon, isn't it? Off the wagon. Off the rails. You come off the rails. Yep. Like a train. I think that's got connotations of a high-speed incident.

I like to think they've fallen off the wagon, there's just been a bump in the road. That. Like a train. But that's got connotations of a high speed incident. I like to think they've fallen off the wagon and there's just been a bump in the road. That bump in the road was a cow. No, and you fall off the wagon.

But if the bump was a cow, then you would have meat to eat. Yeah, right. Okay. I feel a bit mean having a go at them

because they're, you know, they're doing their majority of the time for society. But they also give us lectures about their bit majority of the time for society, but they also give us lectures about eating meat majority of the time, so I'm okay with it. Well, I saw some protesters the other week crossing

the road. I went out for a bicycle and I saw some protesters getting ready to go into the supermarket and I was just like, that's ballsy, eh? What were they protesting? Meat eating. Yeah, those had their signs and stuff. Yeah, like no meat.

Right. So I think they were crossing the road to go into the supermarket to... I always respect people go out of their way for a protest. Because most of the time I can't be bothered. I know, I can't be bothered about anything. It's good on them for being passionate about something. And it is the way the world is kind of going, isn't it? Because there's also no way to convince people of anything.

When have you seen a protest and you've been like, you've changed my mind entirely by inconveniencing me in a task. Well, that's true. Like to raise awareness. Well, it's raising awareness, yeah. Yeah, but you're only raising awareness to people who are there and you're inconveniencing them directly. Yeah.

It's going to be a lot easier to eat meat alternatives soon because it's only getting better. Like you were telling me about the fish. Fishless fish. It was really good. Really good. I defy you to tell the difference. It's still weird that you ate fishless fish because you don't like fish.

Yeah. But it was less fishy. Well, yeah, because there's no fish in it. But then you said it still smelt and tasted like fish. Yeah. So then why did you eat it? Because I wanted to try it. I'm trying out meatless alternatives, you know?

Do you know what makes chicken flavouring? Chickens? No. Carrots. Really? Let me Google this. No, you were thinking of carrots. Somebody told me last night that...

No, but carrots are sweet., you were thinking of carrots. Somebody told me last night that... No, but carrots are sweet. Chicken flavouring made of carrots. No, they said it's an extract of carrot because if you look on a lot of chicken flavoured chips and stuff, no chicken involved. Oh, okay. Vegan chicken flavouring. Look, this could take a while.

And I might have been completely stitched up and lied to. In the meantime, while you're looking that up, do you want to know what the most popular meat is that they're going for when they're drunk? Yes. Like, you'd think that it would be something bougie. Burger? Is it burger meat?

Like, they're having a burger when they're drunk? No. Mints. Or not like... Wings. Not salmon, not anything fancy. Okay. They're going for kebab meat.

Just getting good kebab. And there's a big asterisk next to that kebab meat. What is it? When they're shaving it off that perfectly round thing they put on good kebab. And there's a big asterisk next to that kebab meat. When they're shaving it off that perfectly round thing they put on the kebab thing, you're like, what is that? But then you're drunk, aren't you? It tastes delicious. It's what's available. Yeah, it does. Yeah. That's the choice.

That's the number one meat. Of vegans who are drunk. I'm vegetarians and want to have some meat. Right, okay. Did you find any more about your chicken extract? Nah. Is this something you made up? I feel like a vegetarian, a vegan told you that. No, no, it wasn't a vegan.

It was a content omnivore that told me this. Okay. There is a lot of things here. One of them could be a carrot extract. Right, but they can make flavours of anything, can't they, artificially? With anything, yeah. We talked about the pizza flavoured jellybean

didn't we? Yeah, I'm not on board with that. No, but the pizza flavoured jellybean that didn't taste like pizza, it tasted like vomit. That's right. And then when they invented the vomit flavoured jellybean because it was what we were all just aching for from a jellybean, they used the pizza flavoured one because it was already

vomity tasting. That's the Bertie Botts, every flavoured bean, vomit flavour. That. Oh, they used the pizza flavour one because it was already vomity tasting. That's the Bertie Botts every flavoured bean vomit flavour. That's an extra fact of the day for you today. Just adding them all up. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

You didn't see that with the room. I just saw a meme. There's a lot of these memes going around. In general? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just in general.

Right, okay, yeah. But this girl tweeted, how old were you when the Guitar Hero crowd booed at you for trying your best? That's good, that's good. I never really thought about that. That was a loud collective savage booing when you really didn't do well on Guitar Hero. And they'd be on your side and then, I don't know, just a slip of the finger and... And it turned on you.

And everybody's turned on you side and then, I don't know, just a slip of the finger and it would turn on you. Everybody's turned on you. Wow. Ruthless. Joining us on the show just before 8 o'clock this morning, Dua Lipa from, I'm assuming she's at her home in the UK in lockdown like the rest of us. Yeah, we got some questions sent in. One of them was, where did she get her performing name from?

That's her actual name. Because my daughter's asked me that question last night. Dua means love. Oh, her actual name. Because my daughter's asked me that question last night. Dua means love. Oh, right. Yeah. Right. And Leeper's just her last name. Okay. Leeper. Sounds weird when you say it and it's just by itself. So she's on the show 10 to 8

this morning. Next I'm going to tell you how often you need to wash your leggings and trackies. Yeah, we're wearing every day. Everyone's living in those at the moment, aren't they? Lots of online shopping purchases for active wear and leggings. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast.

ZM. Don't worry. Don't worry, everybody. We're just discussing it. A caramilk fudge. I've got a heartburn just. That's so sweet. Well, yeah, so you melt. This is a friend, James, made some got a heartburn just, that's so sweet. So you melt, this is a friend, James made some,

and ages ago gave me some, and it was delicious. And yesterday he said, I'm going to make some again. And I said, well, I can't get there to get any, because of, you know, the isolation in the bubbles. And so he gave me the recipe. It's a block of caramel. You melt it, and then you add whole dinner sweetened condensed milk. And then you put it in the fridge and then you eat it. How do you melt the caramel?

Like real slowly. Is it one of those ones where you put it in a bowl and you put the bowl above the boiling water? Yeah. What if you used, you know, that caramel condensed milk? Oh, hells bells. It's like a double caramel. I was trying to, I found some Christmas chocolates. Yeah, it's been a double caramel. I was trying to, I found some Christmas chocolates.

I know it's been a little while. But apparently the girls didn't want them because they were these magical elves and they had popping rocks in them. Okay. I'm all for it. And so last night I was trying to eat them, but I was trying to eat them secretly and not tell Sade. And she's like, what are you eating?

I was like, nothing. And I went and shut my mouth and you could hear all the pop rocks going off. She's like, what is in your mouth? I was like. It was literally knocking. It was. Yeah, it was a real. I was outed.

Right. So when we're eating our double caramel, caramel fudge, you probably want your leggings on or your active wear or your gym jams. All my pajamas lots when we were on holiday. Whatever you're wearing at home, it's probably not jeans because they're not as comfy. So this is coming from the University School of Public Health and the Health Sciences Department in the UK.

Right. They have told us how often we need to wash our active wear or our gym jams that we're wearing at home. That's good to know. So they said the major problem with wearing your clothes out is you get bacteria from, you know, outside sources. But when you're wearing it at home, the only bacteria is really coming from you.

So they say if you're only wearing your leisure clothes or whatever it is in your house and not for exercise, then you can go for a week or two without washing them. Yeah, I reckon, because how long, if you were your gym jams, how long would you wash those? Like once a week? Yeah, if not more. You would wash them more than once a week? Yeah, but I wash, I probably wash all my clothes too much because I would wear something twice max and then wash it.

Oh, yeah, same. I haven't washed my lockdown trackies yet because right at the start, that's a pair of trackies each. Yeah. And I still haven't washed them. Really? But I don't really do much in them because I get up and I put them on and then I go about. But then when I get changed for the day, I take them off.

It's been four weeks, mate. You should probably wash those. You reckon? Yeah, absolutely. They haven't got any stains on them. Because they said as long as you're okay with your own body odour. Well, I don't want to sit there in my own stench. A lot of active wet is that kind of material that doesn't...

Breathable. Yeah, it's quite breathable. It doesn't get stanky unless you are like working out in it. Yeah. And then when you sweat a little bit, it just dries real quick. Yeah, if you want a material that doesn't breathe and holds the stink, synthetics are quite nice, aren't they? Yeah.

A full-blown synthetic non-natural material. It feels like you're wearing a plastic bag. Yeah, just don't stand. Like an at-home sauna. Yeah, just don't stand too close to the heater or fire. No, any heat source whatsoever. I would say the car exhaust pipe even. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.

Had some technical difficulties behind the scene. Someone's been effing with the settings. And granted. And I tell you what, they're going to hear about it after the show. He knows how to work the television if it's left on AV1. Now someone's taming it on AV2. He's fiddling with the free view. Okay, here's what it's like for those at home.

It's like someone comes into your lounge and messes with the HDMI remote setting or something. And then you go to turn the TV on and it's on HDMI 2. That's exactly what I just said. Grandad is on a rant and he's shut off all external sources.

I just want Grandad to have it up with the person who did it rather than me. That wouldn't be a very Grandad thing to do up with the person who did it rather than me. Than everybody else. Right, okay. That wouldn't be a very Grandad thing to do, to not walk around accusing everybody of taking his reading glasses. Yeah.

I saw you using my reading glasses. No, Grandad wouldn't use reading glasses. Well, where have you put them? They're on your head. These are my other reading glasses. Someone's getting a bloody barreling. Okay. As you can tell.

I want to talk now about Rotorua. Rotorua, lovely spot. Lovely spot. Beautiful spot. I hope that when we can holiday around the country, people are going to flock. This will be one of the spots I'll be going to. You simply must.

Oh, it's beautiful. We've been several times. Remember, you broke your leg there too. Yeah. I was going to say, it's got something for everybody. Mountain biking. Not for Megan. But the Polynesian Spa, very much up your alley.

So much. Right up your alley. Yeah. There's lotion. That's up your alley too. Horse riding. That's not as much up your alley. Now, the horse riding around there is beautiful.

Scenic. There's mountains, there's lakes. But anyway, we're not here to talk about the gorgeous crown jewel in North Island tourism. Yeah. We're here to talk about the fact that all three McDonald's branches in Rotorua have been eaten out of stock twice this week. Twice? Wow, that's amazing.

Wow. Because I saw yesterday that some stores around the country had lettuce problems. Yeah, they couldn't get their hands on fresh lettuce. But you ate a quarter pounder, right? You don't do lettuce-less burger. Yeah, but even if they said, we can do you a Big Mac, but no lettuce, I'd be like, sweet as.

Would you ask for something in its place? Yeah, I'd ask for two nuggets. What? In the burger. That's not equivalent. In the burger or on the side? In the burger. That's not equivalent. In the burger or on the side? In the burger. That's what really gets me.

When owning a cafe, when someone asks for a swap out for not equal value, they're like, you know, I won't have the bread. I'll have three pieces of thick bacon. Save the greens and I'll have like two bacon steaks. That is an incomparable swap, my friend. That's why I always say, if I'm not going to have something, what could I swap that out for?

Yeah. I never just assume that something is changeable for bacon. So if you're going through the drive-thru and they're like, oh, we can't do a Big Mac, just double check that it's not a lettuce problem. Yeah. Because then you'd be like, just sans lettuce. Yeah, I'd go for extra pickles.

I'd be like, load me up on pickles, baby. Is there pickles in a Big Mac? Isn't it just pickles in a Big Mac sauce? No, there's pickles in a Big Mac. Is there pickles? Yeah, there's pickles in a Big Mac, but it's only like one or two. It's not like the pickles are spewing out the side. Yeah, you get pickles in the cheeseburger, the quarter pounder, and the Big Mac.

I'd say absolutely hammer me with pickles and Mac sauce. Don't worry about your lettuce. You keep that champ. Okay. Tomatoes in a Big Mac? No. No't worry about your lettuce. You keep that champ. Okay. Tomatoes on a big man? No. No. I'd ask for a tomato too.

Anyway, Rob and Lindley, get this. One couple, one married couple owns all three Rotorua McDonald's. Oh my God. Do you reckon they've got a Rotaidi lake house? I reckon they have. I want to be their friends. I reckon they've got a lake. Okay.

Probably. Okay. And all the houses. So they own Ferry Springs, Fenton Street and Tanai McDonald's and they said Monday night we've got enough stock to last five days. It did not. It lasted the day. Wow. They topped up yesterday but it wasn't even close to being enough. Another enormous truck was supposed to arrive at supplies at 8 p.m. last night,

and they were hoping to reopen the drive-thrus at 9 p.m. last night. Wow. It is nuts. Yeah, they had enough food for five days, and all three McDonald's have been cleaned out and rode through it. And when one went down, everybody just went to the next one.

Yeah. And that ran out and yeah. So, if your local McDonald's ran out of lettuce, at least it didn't run out of everything.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. There's so many people that are like, yeah, TikTok's been around forever.

What was it before? Musically. Musically. I know, do you know, it was around so long, I's been around forever. What was it before? Musical.ly. Musical.ly. I know. Do you know, it was around so long I couldn't get my username the same way as my Instagram. Someone else has got it. Really? I don't know what my username is.

But I don't do any. I just watch. You're a lurker. Yeah. Yeah, I'm the same. I'm like my parents on Facebook. Yeah. Oh, you guys don't have kids that literally fill your phone up with 10,000 TikToks every single day.

Oh my god, I need to watch these. I want to watch them. I want to watch them. Let me take you on. This is August dancing. What dance is she doing? I don't know. I don't know. They're actually really good.

Better than some adults I've seen on there or like grown up. The one thing about it is I've seen kids watch someone do a dance and sit down and actually like study it and work out how to do it. So there is that to it. It's like they are paying attention to how to do something. Imagine what it's going to be like in the clubs when Indian August can go to the club. There'll only be 15 second songs and they'll all be by Benny.

And everyone will know the dance and you'll just go through the dance and then you start again and you do the dance again. Yeah. It will be like weird. It'll be like you're stuck in a time loop in the club in 13 years. Do they like click on the song and then watch every video from that one song? Yeah. And you just hear the same 15 seconds of a song over and over and over and over and over.

Yeah. Oh, God. I think that's how I'm going to end up with a third husband, by doing that, because it really gets me. It gets and goes. Oh, right. It annoys him when you do it. Yeah. But TikTok, it has been around forever is my point. And it is now, it is the most downloaded app of 2020.

A record number of downloads in February alone. Well, just because people are locked up. Yeah. Like I've noticed a lot of friends have got it. Such a good time waster. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You just go down to TikTok.

Yeah. Anytime I had a moment, I was like, all right, TikTok. And then when you're in the bathroom, you just hear Benny in the toilet. I'm trying to think of another TikTok song other than Benny. There's that. Somebody come get her. I don't know how the end goes. And then there's the...

This is all that's coming from your toilet. Yeah. Your neighbours are like, what's going on in there? I'm a snake. That was my favourite for a bit. Yeah, but weird to tell you off. That was such a, like, you were quoting, that was like a MySpace viral video.

No, it's people using the sound to make their own I'm a snake videos. Oh, yeah, but the video itself, very old. Right. So, and at the moment, number one app? Yes. Wow, okay. Number one app.

Of all time. Didn't I hear that it's like- Most downloaded of 2020. Right, of the year. It was up there. It had become like one of the most downloaded apps. What about the weather app? You click on it and it's like the temperature.

What about Google? It comes on every phone. It's like that U2 album. You can't get that off. Have you ever used the stocks app on your phone? No, I think I deleted it. You can delete stocks now. Why do you need the stocks app? I don No, I think I deleted it. You can delete stocks now. Why do you need the stocks app?

I don't. Well, I deleted it. I deleted it and then I got into the stock market and I'm just flying blind. I wish I'd kept the stocks app now. When did you get into the stock market? Maybe I had a few drinks and thought, how hard can it be?

Certainly a good time to be getting in. I think I've got a great time to be getting in. All right, next on the show, there's a problem with our warrant of fitnesses. Yeah, you may have noticed yours has expired. What do you do about it? We've got some warrant of fitness news next. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Warrant of fitnesses.

Not optional, it turns out. No. So there's been some news because there's been a lot of talk about it. I've got a vehicle that's warrant of fitnesses. Not optional it turns out. No. So there's been some news because there's been a lot of talk about it. I've got a vehicle that's Warrant of Fitness expired. My Land Rover's Warrant of Fitness expired. I don't have like if you're not a regular listener to the show I don't have like a flash Land Rover. It's not one of those

Remu era Fendleton mum Land Rovers. No, no, no. It's not like a lovely matte black Discovery that I've got a fuel roof box on for my trips to the snow. Lucky if it goes 70. Lucky if it goes 70. It's 1967.

You open the front window to get air con. You open the front vents. Front flaps. Yeah, you open the flap and a couple of moths fly into you. And the back, yeah, I've had a bee

in the face. And the back window just opens itself. But anyway, it's Warren and Phineas has expired. I'm doing a great job of selling to you how. Yeah. But anyway, it's Warrant of Fitness has expired. I'm doing a great job of selling to you how.

But anyway, Warrant of Fitnesses that have expired, again into level three, you're allowed to drive without a current Warrant of Fitness. And was your insurance company okay with that? Only if your Warrant of Fitness expired after the end of January this year. Is that right? You had to have had a Warrant of Fitness of January this year. Is that right? You had to have had a warrant of fitness in January this year.

If you've been rolling a warrant of fitness for six months prior to that, no warrant of fitness prior to that. And if you've got a car that's been sitting around unwarranted for a long time, you can't just suddenly drive there. Yeah, you can't be like, oh, this old dog's back on the road. Because it's unlike insurance to be, you know, nice about these things. If you had a crash and you didn't have a warrant of fitness. I then would have Auntie Jacinda on the phone if they asked.

So, but here's the problem is that the warrant of fitness has been extended. And if your car was already borderline, like I was thinking my main thing is like how quickly tyres can go from borderline to being really dangerous. Yeah, especially in winter conditions. Yeah. So it's been extended out to October, which is when everybody is going to have to get a warrant of fitness. Wait, so if you need a warrant now, you've got till October. The Transport Agency said that the car owners whose warrants were due to expire

after January 1st this year have until October 10th to have them renewed. No, that's not on. Which means that there's going to be a massive rush because that will be tens of thousands of New Zealand cars at all. And so the problem is everyone's going to leave that till the last minute because why would you do it sooner if you've got till the 1st of October? So then everyone is always going to need a warrant. In October.

In October. That's nuts. If your car was made after the year 2000, right? Yeah, there's some people before that. It's just six months. Yeah. But they should give you two months. So that's October and then six months after,

there's going to be two very busy periods for people who do warranties. No, but you're assuming that everyone's going to wait till the last minute. I don't think I would, knowing that there was going to be a rush. To save some money. No, you're going to save a month's worth of... And if you knew your car needed new tyres to be fixed. Oh, I never know about that. Until it goes.

That's why I get so anxious sitting there waiting. That's weird. You'd think a month max. Yeah, well, but then that's something you can. I read your essential vehicles you can, and that couldn't be classed as the one that you take to the supermarket. What are you complaining about? Is he giving you too long to find the money to pay for a warrant?

No, he's complaining because he doesn't have a car and this doesn't affect him. In the least. I would have thought giving him lots of time was a good thing. Yeah, but not if you've got Like bald tyres That's dangerous Like if all these people Are driving around with

Crappy Yeah but you can get it done Earlier right Yes you can get it done earlier And you should get it done earlier If you are in a situation So wait what are you Complaining about

And also when you go to If you're just one of those people That rolls into a VTNZ To get a warrant of fitness The lines will be real long Because everybody goes in October And then everyone That gets a 12 month Yeah but you've got A warning Don't go in October Go of fitness, the lines will be real long because everybody goes in October. And then everyone that gets a 12-month-old.

Yeah, but you've got a warning. Don't go in October. Go earlier to avoid the lines. Yeah, but you're asking New Zealanders to not do something last minute. Have you met us? No, I'm just not complaining about it because I feel like they've given us a gift. Mark this in October when Megan wants to talk about the time she went to get a warrant of fitness and the line was eight hours long.

And we'll play her this part here where she said, we've all had a warning and we won't do it. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. So we've heard a lot about potential divorces after lockdown. And, you know, like it's hard being with your spouse potentially 24-7. Well, we asked what earlier in the week, our poll, right after we came out of level four,

are you considering breaking up with your partner? Was it about one in eight? One in 10, wasn't it? One in 10. So 10% were like, yep, it's over, I'm done. Yeah.

So there's been a study, this has been, it's based in Germany, analysed 87 countries around the world to discover who has the highest divorce rate. So they found that one out of 300 Kiwi adults is divorced. Does that mean, because I'm divorced but I'm also married, does that mean current marital status is divorced?

It probably takes all marriages and all divorces, right? Yeah. So it would be better to say one out of 300 Kiwis has been divorced. Right. Okay. That's quite low, isn't it? I would have thought it might have been higher. I don't know.

They're counting all Kiwis, aren't they? Yeah. But I thought half of all marriages ended in divorce. No, that stat's not correct anymore. And that's a misleading one, right? Isn't that misleading? I don't know. That assumes that every year

everybody that gets married, half of those people get divorced, but it's a total of years up to as well. Right. Right, okay. So we rank, out of the whole wide world,

we're 25th for divorce rates. Okay. That's up there though, isn't it? Yeah, and your next question is where does Australia rank? Worse than us. 19th on the list. One out of 287 adults has been divorced. Yeah, but they it? Yeah, and your next question is where does Australia rank? Worse than us. 19th on the list.

One out of 287 adults has been divorced. Yeah, but they're way hotter, so more temptation. But then we're saying worse. Like, divorce isn't a bad thing, guys. Yeah, no, exactly. It just means...

Well, like the old days, you got married and just had to live with each other. In misery. In misery. And then it was a competition on who was going to outlive each other to have some sweet years

without that person that you've been tied to for like 50-odd years. Nothing like coming on the market when you're 75. Your golden years. Nothing to lose. What were the top 10 countries? I don't know. They didn't list it.

I can tell you that we've got some random stats. We're 25th. Russia, Chile, they have the lowest divorce rate in the world. Okay. Russia is the highest. One in every 154 adults in Russia is

divorced. So yeah, it doesn't actually, they don't name why specifically, like why they think it could be, but yeah. They think it's going to get worse after lockdown. I'll take it from here. Ten, United States. Someone's found the list.

Nine, France. We had time to search while you were silent for 20 seconds. The French. Yep. Is anybody surprised? I thought they would have been a bit higher. What number are they? They were ninth. Why did you think they were higher? Because of menage a trois and that. Mind you, I suppose that would keep it down

if you could come to some sort of cordial agreement. Yeah, sure. Cuba is an eight. Oh, are they? Okay. Estonia is seventh. Luxembourg. Berg.

Berg. Borg. Berg. Berg. But it's O-R-G, isn't it? It's got an O-U-R-G. O-R-G. Yeah, but it's also Worcester sauce. Explainorg. Berg. Berg. But it's O-R-G, isn't it? It's got an O-U-R-G. O-R-G. Yeah, but it's also Worcester sauce.

Explain that. Yeah. I choose not to. Spain is in at fifth. Right. The Czech Republic, fourth. Oh, okay. Hungary, three.

Portugal, two. Right. And number one, Russia. And then Russia, yeah. The divorces. Yeah, the origins of the word divorce are the same origins of the word divert. So it basically meant that you parted and you diverted from your river. I prefer that, actually.

I've diverted my marriage to someone else. You know, if you intertwine and you're linked and your life is headed in a universal way, but then if you divert, you go two different ways and you separate your intertwined lives. You've got diversion. Effectively, yeah, diversion comes from it as well. Right.

Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. And she is joining our special guest on the phone this morning, Dua Lipa. Good morning. Good morning, guys. How are you doing? Good.

How are you doing in isolation or in your bubble? I'm doing okay, you know. I think now we've been in isolation for so long, we're having to try and get creative with our time. But it's been lots of fun. Have you been baking any, like, bread? People are getting really on board. The sourdough.

It's kind of sourdough is the next big bread baking. No, we haven't gotten quite there yet. Yeah, you've got to get a starter. We've been making cookies, though. Cookies. Yes. No, do haven't gotten quite there yet. Yeah, you've got to get a starter. We're making cookies though. Cookies! Yes! No, do it. She's busy.

Always a good one. You're having to face now promoting an album from home. How's that going? It's been good, you know. It's been challenging at times,

but I'm slowly taking it in my stride, I think. I'm a homebody. This sounds like an ideal situation. You get to promote music that you've made and you're obviously pretty proud of and you like, but you don't have

to travel all over the world to do it. I do quite miss traveling and getting to promote it in different ways and go to TV studios and do performances and all that stuff. But it has been an interesting learning experience and it has been fun getting creative from home to and all that stuff. But it has been an interesting, like, learning experience,

and it has been fun getting creative from home to do all those things. So, you know, I'm trying to see the positives, because some days are challenging, but it has been fun. Take us a little bit behind the scenes in your involvement in the Times Like These single that came out, what, a week ago, the BBC single? Yeah. That was incredible. I had tingles.

Oh, thank you. I'm very proud to be a part of that. It was really cool. I got asked by Radio 1 to take part in it, and it was really fun to see all the artists come together from home to cover such a beautiful song by the Foo Fighters that's so fitting at a time like this. It seems like it would have been like what was

the planning of it? Did they say these are the lines we want you to sing or they said do the whole song and you know make it your own

and we'll pick and choose what bits we need. Yes exactly. You know I think we all just sang the whole song and then they

pieced it together. Wow. I would love to hear because I thought that's what they would have done. I would love to hear everybody's individual song.

Yeah the whole version. Yeah. Yeah that would have been that would have done. I would love to hear everybody's individual song. Yeah, the whole version. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been cool. But I really do love the way everyone just kind of came together and how it sounds. It's kind of amazing how we can still feel so united even when we're apart. Yeah.

So it was really special. And is it weird to release an album? Because most artists, especially of your magnitude, you release an album, you do a tour. But obviously with travel internationally and even some domestic travel and mass gatherings and everything off the cards for I don't know how long,

what are the plans there to tour it when all this blows over or tour this album? Yeah, absolutely. I postponed my UK and Europe tour to January 2021. And I will announce dates for the rest of the world, you know, right after that, if everything just goes to plan. You know, we're all just waiting to hear the news and see, you know, the progression of, you know, kind of what's happening all over the world. So we're just kind of, we're holding tight and hoping for the best. I went to the supermarket yesterday, Dua Lipa,

with my two-metre distancing, and Physical was on, on the supermarket radio. And it was a very uplifting supermarket shopping song. Perfect. That's what I like to hear. Have you been out in places and heard your music? How have you felt? Have you had any moments like that? I mean, it's been funny actually a couple of times

when I got in my car to go either to the shop or to go drop something off. It's come on the radio and that's been really exciting and that was really, really nice. But other than that, I haven't really heard it out. Now, it's just been announced that you're doing a iHeartRadio virtual prom this is for um people who can't actually go to their proms is this something that we can all tap into yeah absolutely everything is like on the iHeartRadio app as well at the same time so I'll be hosting it with Jojo Wright and we'll be doing like a four-hour radio set

with lots of incredible DJs and artists and just trying to make it fun, you know, for all the seniors for their prom for 2020 and to, you know, create a fun dance party for them at home. Now, can I have your guarantee that as a late 30s male, my lurking at this event isn't going to be creepy? It won't be creepy at all. If we walked into a prom, it would be.

That would be weird. Yeah, I would probably get asked to leave pretty smartly. Or they'd confuse us for teachers. No, this is for everyone. But, of course, it's dedicated to the seniors. Did you ever get a prom? Do you even call it prom? That's quite American.

No, it's a very American thing. It's not really so British, but it's cool because I felt like I got a little taste of what prom could be like with an all-star line-up. Yeah, like the richest school that can afford all the big artists. They had to come and play at it. Well, thank you so much, Juleepi. The video's out for Break My Heart. The album's out, Future Nostalgia. Thanks for talking to us this morning. Thank you

so much for having me. I appreciate it. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Oh my god, coming up, we've got a real cute story about producer Anya. She's got a new friend. She's made a new friend safely while in lockdown. Also next, another round of fridge bingo. We pit two people up against each other.

See what's in their fridge. It's more exciting than it sounds. Megan, you should never have to say that. Otherwise it... Yeah, no, you're not wrong though. It is than it sounds. Megan, you should never have to say that. Otherwise it... Yeah, no, you're not wrong though. It is, it is. Well, we had the Shortland Street fridge bingo earlier this week. Michael Galvin.

Yeah. You just have to give it a chance to grow on you. Like it might not immediately grab you, but like give it a chance and it might grow on you. Yeah, right. Friday Flashbacks. Not immediately grab you, but give it a chance and it might put on you. Yeah, right. There's two reasons I'm playing this song. Because today's the 1st of May, New Zealand Music Month.

And we're all supporting local. It's gonna be, it is May. It's good. We missed it yesterday. I can't believe it's May. I know. It's nuts, right? I know. Next month is June. Middle of the year believe it's May. I know. It's nuts, right? I know. Next month is June.

Middle of the year. That's half the year gone. So yeah, New Zealand Music Month. I thought it was fitting because we're all trying to support local to do some local music. Yeah. This song is from 2008. 2009 officially released. It's from two guys based in Auckland.

Oh, so it's not Dane Rumble. No. Oh, Dane. That was my pick. I was thinking it would Oh, so it's not Dane Rumble. No. Oh, Dane. That was my pick. I was thinking that was massive. Dane Rumble. He was massive around then. Yeah, yeah. Because you had your Dane Rumble's covers banned. I did. We did very well. Mostly from um... Mostly from people who couldn't read.

I was trying to turn my microphone up and I turned it off. That happens. That happens in the game, baby. That happens in the big leagues. This off. That happens. That happens in the game, baby. That happens in the big leagues. This is what your Dean Rimbles cover band has plagued with sound problems. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Was it what?

And then we retired. You had some pretty big gigs, though, if I remember. Yeah, I had the Fist Crew. That was our slightly extended Dean Rimbles covers band. We played fast crew songs, but we had the fist crew. Yeah. And, yeah, I had to pay them. They weren't cheap.

The Becks impersonator was quite expensive. Yeah. But the rest of the guys, they were quite cheap. I think one of them was actually in the fast crew. Right. And, yeah, then it all went tits up in 2012 with a couple of very serious allegations made against the Dane Rumble's government. In fact, Dane Rumble himself asked us to knock it off.

Right, yeah. Because he couldn't be dragged into this. The same spelling mistakes that got me the gigs would be the same spelling mistakes that would bring him down. Yeah. Yeah, so it's not Dane Rumble. It's not Fast Crew or the Fist Crew either. The Fist Crew?

It is a duo. They call them New Wave Music. But the reason I want to play this song specifically is it's what we're all doing at the moment. We're staying at our own houses. This is Kids of 88, My House. All right, it's your Friday flashback. Hey, just said I'll take you back to my house.

That's a bubble breach. Something had Bloomfield on the phone. It's not as good when I'm by myself. You know you make me go, woo-hoo, woo-hoo. I'm gonna take you back to my house. I like the feeling when you touch me, baby. It's not as good when I'm by myself.

You know you make me go I walked into the club, I don't remember the time Step right up to the door, cause I don't stand in a line I saw you doing your thing, minding your own business To end the city with the freshest two steps So she knows that I'm not You try and play it so cool Act like you know it all

There's only one place for you So come on now I'm gonna take you back to my house I love the feeling when you touch me, baby It's not as good when I'm by myself You know you make me go I'm gonna take you back to my house I love the feeling when you touch me, baby

and I think overwhelmingly very positive feedback from the nation. I forgot that I needed that song in my life. But it's New Zealand Music Month. We're keeping it local. Maybe don't take someone back to your house. No, no, definitely not at the moment. Unless they were in your bubble already.

Yeah. Yeah. And just on New Zealand Music Month, Float at Home. This is happening next Saturday, the 9th of May, celebrating New Zealand Music Month. We've got Mitch, James, Drax, Project, Saatchi, Foley and Paige. And all the details are at ZM Online, but you can join us for that live stream.

And we're also supporting Music Helps. You can text MUSIC to 2448 to automatically donate $3 to Music Helps. We're going to support all those people behind the scenes, like the roadies. The roadies, the techs, everyone that is not getting any income now that there's no concerts going on. And yeah, so those guys will be streaming live next Saturday. All the details, send them online.

And of course, it's hard to think about New Zealand Music Month without thinking about duck shooting season, which was also something that happened in the first weekend of May. It's been pushed out. It has. So if somebody is enjoying the float concert on your local duck pond next weekend,

that's not advised, but somebody might be, they are not a duck, don't give them a fire up. Okay. Great. Good, good. Fridge for the Megans, Fridge Bingo. Time for another round of Fridge Bingo. We welcome to Fridge Bingo, Amy, good morning.

Good morning. How's that? Now, have you been back at work this week? I have, yeah. Okay, and at home or are you going in? No, I'm a teacher, so I've been going in. Oh, okay. How have you been finding it?

What ratio of students have returned this week for your area? So we've actually got a really high ratio. We're a small school. We've got 70 kids, but we've got 11 kids back, which is one of the highest. That's enough to put all the chairs on the table at the end of the day. Yeah. That is a small school.

That's like rural school numbers. Yes, yeah, we are a rural school. Great. All right. You reckon this will all be down in time for calf club? I'm hoping so. Yeah. That's for the city.

That's when they take little baby cows to school. Yeah. It's as weird as it sounds. Someone wins best calf. Yep. I believe we've lost Amy just out of nowhere. I wonder what that bong was. Yeah, we had a bong.

I heard the bong. I thought it was an egg. Anya's going to try and get Amy back for us. Jeremy, good morning. Welcome to Fridge Big Go. Morning, guys. Morning. How's your fridge been punished over the lockdown?

Oh, look, it's been replenished regularly. I was the house that had shopped with my wife's chagrin. Chagrin? That is what I'm talking about. A great word. I'm a little bit glad

that Amy left because I was a little bit glad that Amy left because I was a bit worried about going up against a rural fridge. Oh, yeah. Well, no, Amy's back with her rural fridge. They stock up. They're wise people. They do because they don't live right next to the dairy or the supermarket. How close is your local supermarket, Amy?

It's a good 40-minute driveway. She's a stocker. She'll stock her fridge. You have to go to town every day. How close is your local supermarket, Amy? It's a good 40-minute drive away. She's a stalker. She'll stalk her fridge. But she's got to have what we say. But it might be shopping day today. Yeah. Or tomorrow. She might be at the wrong end of the week.

Jeremy, your buzzer is ding. And Amy, yours is dong. Vaughn, give us the items for the fridge. It's first to three. I believe the randomiser decides what items we read off the list. Thank you. Got that there. Do you want me to keep talking to fill the space?

Yeah, absolutely. I can't find it. Oh, I found it. There we go. I mean, same thing every time we do this. Wildly unprofessional on your account. Definitely not holding the show together. Oh!

Oh! Okay, anyone got any luncheon in that fridge? I count. Definitely not holding the show together. Okay, anyone got any luncheon in that fridge? I'm not talking shaved ham. I'm talking luncheon. Nope, they're not over 50 and they don't have 20 children, so no one's got luncheon. Great. Next one.

Oh! Hot sauce. Dong. Dong. Ding. Ding and dong. What kind of hot sauce are you guys rocking? That little glass, the label's half worn off. What's it called?

Tabasco. Tabasco. Yeah. Yeah, that's the one. Classic cafe hot sauce, that one. Green Tabasco. Yeah. Yeah, that's the one. Classic cafe hot sauce, that one. Green Tabasco. Yeah, I've got the green one. I've got the green one.

Have you tried the Chipotle one, the smoky one? No. You have your alley, I reckon. Oh, would it? Okay. I'm going to get that up my alley this week. Get that up your alley with all the bottles. No.

Jeremy, what kind of hot sauce have you got? Well, I've got that exact Chipotle. Number four. Yes. How good. It's good, right? Yes. I'm going to have to get that.

Chipotle mayonnaise. Oh, now that sounds good. Chipotle mayonnaise. Chipotle mayonnaise. Now we're talking. Then you can control your ratio. Oh, sugar. Now, this is a controversial one.

Why anyone would keep sugar in the fridge? Anyone got sugar in their fridge? Nope. Ants. Because of ants. Even a little bit of moisture gets in and then you get like this. It's part of the fun, getting in there with a teaspoon and smashing it all back into tiny crystals. It's like you're an archaeologist searching for a sugar dinosaur.

Hey! Bread. Anybody keep bread in the fridge? Dong. Oh, ding. Ding and dong. Ding and dong. Okay, so it's two all.

The next one will be decided when you buzz in first, okay? So first one to buzz in. Okay. It is the decider. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Something you're hiding from someone.

Song! Amy. Of course you do, Amy. What's in there that you're hiding from someone? I've got a child, so I've got chocolate stashed in, like, veggie packets. Oh, yes! In the veggie packets. Yeah.

Yeah, that's smart thinking. They're never looking in there. Really, well, it was close, Jeremy. You went up against a rural fridge. You didn't do too badly. This is only going to add to your wife's chagrin. To be honest, there's no way that anything in our fridge could be hidden from my wife.

Absolutely not. She's got a full retinue of the whole thing mapped out in her head. God, you've got a good vocab. You have a great vocab. So good. Yeah. I feel like you're showing off now with your retinue.

Look, I'm a communications manager. It comes with the job, you know? Have you got one of those word of the day calendars where you peel it off and then you've got a new word and you've got to try to use it a couple of times that day? Look, when I was a child I built it up, you know? Yeah, I want to get one of those. I'm going to use retinue today.

First I'll find out what it means. And then I'll work on it. Brilliant. Hey, congratulations, Amy, winner of Fridge Bingo! ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Producer Anya this morning has filled us in on a new friend. Yeah, also, we should, do you need any free advertising for your stand-up paddleboard that you put on Trade Me?

Please go and buy it somewhere. Can you actually put it up there? Yeah, dog. Because this is legend on the show that you purchased a stand-up paddleboard. You've used it twice. At least you know it's pretty much brand new because we've spoken about it every time you've used it. No, but she bought it second hand. Historically well documented.

It's had two owners. Two owners. I've only dropped it twice. Once per use. Pretty much had one owner. Yeah. Now, how much are you wanting for it? Well, I just like what I paid for. $450. It's aged well, it's been kept in the garage. That's like asking for what you paid for Bitcoin if you bought Bitcoin in the end of

2018. I'll take $12 No $412. Have you had nibbles though? Well no one bid on my auction but then I had a couple, I had two people say hey can you give me a fixed price offer? But they can't pick it up till level two. No, they can pick it up now.

You can pick up things in three. Contact list. Contact list. Yeah, I'll just leave a sup at the bottom of the driveway and then just hope that the correct person came. Good God, I don't do pickups. Trade me people are weird. I mean, I'm a trade me person.

Yeah, I mean, so am I. We all are. I don't know, the people that come and pick things up, just a bit weird. Send it. Send it. I will not pay for postage on anything. No. No, I'm going to pick it up.

Because didn't you have someone that wanted a cup of tea? Yeah, they said it was the jug on. What are you doing? Years ago, years ago, we had a party and someone left behind a keg. And we couldn't work out whose keg this was. Even though kegs are like, you take it back, don't you? Yeah. And you get a bond or whatever.

Couldn't work it out. Couldn't work out where it was from. So I just put it on Trayvon. This guy wanted it for a hot rod fuel tank. And he came around and he said, have you got the jug on, have you? yeah and you get a bond or whatever couldn't work it out couldn't work out where it was from so I just put it on trading this guy wanted it for a hot rod fuel tank and he came around and he said

have you got the jug on have you I was like what he said I'll have a cuppa if you're having one I was like what the fuck

is going on so yeah we right I had a cuppa tea on the back porch I don't want him coming inside yeah

well anyway she's got a stand up paddle board for sale. But not only that, Executive Intern Anya has made a new friend in lockdown level 4-3. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So Andy and I have taken up a little spot of running in lockdown.

Good on you. Thank you. So we've been doing the same 5K route every day trying to run a bit oh no I'm not I haven't been running the whole way like okay that's good yeah so we're trying to get a little bit faster he's trying to get it down to like I don't know 20 minutes or something like that so we start at the same point but then he like he's off yeah right yeah and the first few times he kind of tried to like hang, support the homie behind. That was me.

Yeah. And we started running past his house and this guy, this lovely little old man, probably, I'd say 75, lives next to a pathway. And we try and run up the pathway. Emphasis on the word try. So Andy's off. It's uphill. And this is the first time that we did this. This guy sat on his porch

and he watched and he saw Andy go past and then he stood up when I went past and he started cheering. And I was like, thank you so much. And yeah,

and he started like giving me thumbs up and he's like, you can do it. And it was really... Wait, that guy off Waterboy, you can do it! This is almost

verging on taking the mick though, isn't it? It was a little patronising. Yeah, it's a bit patronising. Ever was from someone much younger it would be, but old people don't get that sort of thing, do they? Yeah, it was so cute and I was like, thank you so much. And then I felt like, come on, you've got to run this. Because this is

the last part of the leg, so I'm real tired by this point. I'm looking extra haggard. I probably look like I don't even know Andy and I'm following him in the distance. Like, come back. And then yesterday he wasn't there because we were like a little bit late. So he's been doing this like maybe three times,

three or four times. Oh my God, he's not dead, is he? Well, no, because I said, Yoo-hoo! You Yoo-hooed him! What did you Yoo-hoo him for? Where's my support? Yeah, and he popped his head out

and he's like, Yeah, you're back! And I was like, Yeah, dog. And it was great. Oh my God. That's actually so bland. You Yoo-hoo'd him

just to get some support. Both. I wanted to check he was okay but mostly I just wanted my bottom of the hill support. Yeah. How cute is that? It's so cute.

That is really, really cute. And he's like, a little old mate, I can tell he puts on like his dress pants and his suspenders every day. He's not leaving the house.

Yes. But it's important to look your best. Is there a Mrs. applauder? Not that I've seen. So I think he needed the you who.

I think we both needed it. He might be lonely. Could you talk to him over the fence next time? Lonely. Double edged sword. You get a break from running. That's true.

And you get to make his day by maybe interacting a little bit more. That's true. Or he'll turn around and just be like, look, piss off, you've had your support. Yeah. Wrap this up. Or he's talking to you and he's like, I can't talk for long, my wife's crazy.

She doesn't let me outside very often. She doesn't let me talk to hot young broads like you. Oh, stop it, boys. Stop it. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

I'm toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo, toodaloo. Today's Fact of the Day comes to us from a scientific paper called The Energetic Consequences of Human Sociology, Sociality, Walking Speed Choices Among Friendly Dyads. What's a dyad? In this case, it would be a pair.

Like two people. Speed choice is amongst a friendly pair of humans in this case. Because I'm a fast walker and some people don't like, they can't handle that. That's a very fast walker, but go on. Well, no, I've been doing some isolation walks with my friend who's down the road. We go in a little isolation bubble for walks every day. And we're the same speed. And we did comment the other day

that it's good because otherwise it wouldn't work. Because I don't think I'm a slow walker but like I struggle to keep up with you. But I've got shorter legs than you. It's almost like a little jog. You know, but the last time we went out for a proper walk

you had your imitation shapers, your shape-ups on. I did not. I had normal sneakers on. Megan, she was like a rocking horse. Fact of the day, sub-fact, Megan once had imitation sketcher shape-ups. Yeah, not anymore.

Because they told me they were going to make my butt all peachy. Why wouldn't I give that a go? Was that one of Kim Kardashian's earliest lies? I think so, yeah. Earliest lies. She's been lying for a long time. That lie I built at her house in Calabasas. Yeah.

Proves that lies do prosper. So this study looked into walking speeds. They set males as the base speed because males walk faster. Given in any culture or geographically diverse location, in comparison to their female counterparts, males walk faster. But you die sooner. So maybe there's a correlation there.

Probably because we've got to walk, and that's why we walk quicker to get places. You've got less time. We've got less time. And when someone says, oh, you've got all the time in the world, I've got less time than you, woman. So they then put individuals on the track alone

and recorded their speeds every 100 metres. Then they put other people with these individuals and tracked their speed. So they paired these males up with platonic friends of the same sex, platonic friends of a different sex, and then somebody that they were interested in romantically. Oh, okay. And they found the only time that the male's pace changed

was when it was walking at a slower pace to match the female's paces when the female was their romantic partner or of somebody that they had romantic interest in. Yeah, because otherwise we're like, hey, can you slow down? I can't keep up. No, you catch up with me. Is that what they said to their friends? Yeah.

Come on, hurry up. Come on, walk a little bit faster. And I feel like you feel like you've got to keep up with somebody else's speed. Is that what they say to their friends? Yeah. Come on, hurry up. Come on, walk a little bit faster. And I feel like you feel like you've got to keep up with somebody else's speed. Do you slow your pace for a romantic partner, Carl? I'm trying to think about the last time I went for a walk with a romantic partner. I don't know, I probably just feel like, hurry up. The other day when you walked with your... That's why I don't have a romantic partner.

With your friend and you matched speeds, is there any romance there that could have subconsciously altered your speed? No, I don't think so, no. Because that's the other thing about it. They didn't make it a conscious decision to change their speed. They were like, I'm going to have to walk slower for her. It just happened. Now, this looked into male carrying the energetic burden

by adjusting his pace, slowing down on average 7%. But however, the female has spared the potentially increased calories cost required to walk together. And this is like one of those things from way back in the day when we were cave men and women. Right, and we had to carry more weight. Yeah, and you had to have reserves for the baby making.

See, let's put this study into a multi-day hike with a backpack and staying in a hut. How would that go? You know how that would go with me. I'd be way behind you. I'd be whinging. I think you lost it when you said multi-day, hut, and tramp. Absolutely not.

Two words I saw her lose a lot of interest every time. Until Doc opened up some helipads outside these huts, you're not going. They do have helipads. I know, but open them up for the public. Oh, you're saying, right, okay. Not just the Westpac rescue helicopter. So today's fact of the day is that men won't walk slower for friends, but will do it for lovers.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Man, this is good. This is so yum. What are we eating here? Peppermint crisp tart that producer Jared made you. It's a South African staple. It's a South African delicious that producer Jared made you. It's a South African staple. It's a South African deliciousness, isn't it?

Yeah. And this is a South African staple. Yeah, I live on that now. No wonder they're so massive. Ouch! This is, I can feel my heart's working. Excuse me, I'm offended for my family. I feel like I'm doing cardio to just be able to work this through.

No, but to be fair, that's a treat you just dish up a spoonful. What you did there is filled your bowl. Yeah, this is pudding, eh? We're having pudding for breakfast. What you saw when I started dishing that up for myself was how my brain works with pudding. Yeah. I was talking so I wasn't concentrating on what I was doing

and I just took like massive spoonfuls and kept going because I was like, well, I've had dinner. I've had a big day. I need to change this up. I haven't yet. I know you haven't. But that's why. That's a battle I've got to face every time I dish myself up some pudding.

A study has looked at what couples are arguing about during lockdown. So most of the world is in lockdown. So there are a lot of study participants there to be talked to and asked questions to. And it has found the three big things that couples are arguing about. I'm so intrigued. Number three on the list was the amount of screen time their partner is having. Screen time. But you're with them all the time.

Like, there's going to be time for both, right? Yeah, but I guess in that moment where you need attention and they're on their screen, that's where the problem is. Yeah, but that's classic, isn't it? Yeah. They literally just put their phone down so they can say to you, you're always on your phone. But I'm ready to talk now.

Yeah. So put down your phone now, and then when I'm ready for phone time, you be on your phone. Is that not just phone screen time? Is that other screen time? Like, me and da boys have been dropping in a bit again to Fortnite because I figured if everybody else in our house stays off the internet, my internet is just fast enough to play Fortnite.

As long as I'm playing on a local server. When you go home, do you go home to 2006? Yes, I do. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I slip on my etnies. I'm a very comfortable skate shoe even though I don I do. Yeah. Lovely. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I slip on my etnies. Yeah. I'm a very, very

comfortable skate shoe even though I don't skate. Yeah. I pop my hat and adjust slightly to the side angle. Yeah. It's a great time.

Yeah. Number two on the list of the things that couples are arguing most about during lockdown. Arguments about what they should and shouldn't spend money on.

Oh, yeah. I've heard some of those. This is a pre-lockdown. That's just my life. That's a classic. At least so far, you're just naming arguments that were happening before lockdown as well. Do you mean they're happening more in lockdown? Yeah, because I guess a lot of people are.

But see, it's been the opposite for me. I haven't really done any online shopping. What's your partner had to say about that? Yeah. Always wowing on. No, because it's's change of season too so there's been lots of sales

and so every time there's a sale I'm like oh look at this top it's so lovely and he's like no get off I'm like

there's just constant arguments about me spending money the number one thing that couples argued about was how often they got intimate

with each other oh really that's awkward you don't argue about that trust me from a guy you sulk was how often they got intimate with each other. Oh, really? That's awkward. You don't argue about that. Trust me, from a guy, you sulk. That's the best way to handle that. And it's very attractive too, to have a grown man sulk about not getting his way.

You're sulking now. It's totally turned me on. It's going to happen. Oh, yeah, he's sulking. I love it when he sulks. You just go downstairs for more pudding, wouldn't you? We don't have it downstairs, do we? Oh, you don't? I was thinking of he sops. You just go downstairs for more pudding, wouldn't you? We don't have it downstairs, do we? Oh, you don't?

I was thinking of your old house. I would have at the old house, go downstairs for some more pudding. For pudding, yeah. I sure would have. I love how you're like, do we? I was like, I could go under the house and have pudding. That's where I eat.

I'm like, under there. That's where you eat your pudding now with the rats. It's dusty and there's like that polystyrene insulation. I'm like, hmm, wow. She doesn't get any pudding or any pudding. I get all the pudding. Nom, nom, nom. No, you can't have any rat. Go away.

Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Free money. Okay. Doesn't exist. Let me lead with that. And all it's going to cost you is coming to my seminar, which runs all weekend, $500 a day. Okay.

Sounds like a deal. After that, free money. Why aren't I just using my knowledge of how to get free money to get all the free money? Because I want to help you out. That's how rich people work. They get rich because they give everybody else so much money.

Bourne's been listening to a dropshipping podcast. The dropshipping, but also all the other places that are like, come along and I'll teach you how to make money. I'm like, why aren't you just making money? Yeah, why do you care? No, because I've learnt it and I want you. Now, the secret is it's going to cost you to come and learn my secrets to make more

money. Yeah. Why don't you just the money you're making this weekend, taking it off me, why aren't you just making the the secret is it's going to cost you to come and learn my secrets to make more money. Why don't you just, the money you're making this weekend, taking it off me, why aren't you just making the money the way you're going to tell me how to make the money? You raise a great point. So you've found a way to get free money. Well, the IRD, the Inland Revenue Department, is making it easier for employers to reimburse the expenses of their employees that have to be working from home because of level four or level three.

Can we get Ross Boss on the phone, please? Yeah, that'd be great. If he's available, I don't know, what time does he start work? He's always on Skype and Zoom meetings. Must be at home. I just assume he's available 24-7. Okay. Sometimes I call him on the way to work and I let it ring.

And then when he answers, I'm like, eh, it wasn't that important. And I'll hang up at 5 a.m. Yeah, yeah. Great, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So you can now, employers are going to be able to pay employees $20 a week tax-free for additional expenses from working at home, such as heating. Coffee.

What about coffee? Because they always have free coffee here. Well, that's the thing, yeah. If it's something that you're used to at work. $20. But you don't have to say what it was for. It can just be an anonymous $20. Oh, heating.

Heating. Heating. Yeah, heating. Paper for my printer. No, that's true because if you're printing off work stuff, you would usually print it at work where the paper is supplied. That or just take home a rim of A4 today. That's up to you.

That's actually perfectly legal. I mean, that's theft as a servant, Vaughan, so you wouldn't do that. I wouldn't, personally, but I know people who would. Also, you can make it, as an employer, you can make a tax-free payment of up to $400 per employee. So this is like $400 in the account without paying personal income tax. It's for office for furniture costs.

Like you might not have a suitable chair to sit in 8-9 hours a day. And that's fair enough because you sit in an ordinary kitchen chair around the table for like 20 minutes when you're late. You don't have the back support you might get. Carpool tunnel. So we could get $400 from our employer

for a sweet new chair. So is the government giving the employer that money? No, the government's letting the employer give it to us without no tax and they don't have to prove

what it was used for. Is the government giving the money or does it come from the employer? No, it comes from the employer. Ross Boss, good morning. In the current climate. We need an office chair. We're in the current climate. We need an office chair. We're in the current climate.

It's getting colder. That's why we need more heating on. In the current climate. I would quite like a swively chair at home. Do you spend as much time at home now as you did before COVID? I know we have to do stuff at home. I won't stand here accused. I've got some treats, Megan.

I'm going to pay for a new bag of flour for you. No, remember that one time you wanted to do a video chat at home? Megan's right, and that costs power. I don't know how you're running your savings. And I had to sit on something, didn't I? I don't know. My power bill was through the roof,

so if we get any money towards ZM for this kind of stuff, it's all coming to me. Yeah, that's... This is how trickle-down economics works. This is capitalism at play, though. I'm going for the American way. Yeah.

Fat cats at the top. Okay, well... I'll trickle it down. Right, okay. Because I just saw this as an opportunity to get a free office chair for my home. We're doing bingo from home? It's an opportunity for you guys just to boo-hoo,

basically, once again. Well, what about our bingoingo from home? It's an opportunity for you guys just to boohoo, basically, once again. Well, what about our bingo tonight from home, Ross? That counts? I mean, it's a game and it's fun, but we're doing it at home. Yes. I'm pretty sure last time I was at Vaunty, he had heaps of office chairs and stuff

anyway. I think he just distributed from there. Yeah, but those are stolen, so I can't promote you to those. Those are stolen. Do what the rest of us did when COVID shut us all down. Go look through the offices. There's hardly any office chairs or computers or screens or staplers anywhere.

They're all at our houses. You have to bring those back? What's the return policy on those? Don't know yet. Okay, well, if you want to. While I've got you on the phone, you were saying about buying things. I've got roughly 80 small silver cars that I acquired. Can I interest you in a Toyota Vita? If you had a green and purple camper van,

I'd be interested, but sorry. Okay, well, I know where a couple of those are. I can get you my hands on those. All right, well, if your boss isn't an a-hole, there's a chance that you could get some free money from the IRD for your home office. Ross Boss, thank you. Morning, guys.

We'll see you on some kind of Zoom chat later. Oh, hopefully not. Well, that's what we were hoping. Yeah, this is like a deal to me. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen too? a deal to me.
