The ZM Podcast Network. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughn and Megan podcast. Here's a controversy. Okay. Work has scheduled a social event, an online social event. Yeah. So everyone can hang out instead of the usual Friday malarkey.

And it's a Fortnite event. Now, that's a double booking for me. Friday Fortnite with the lads. And then work's like, who wants to play Fortnite? Also, Megan and I have discussed this. We're not very good at Fortnite. I don't think anybody is. Lots of people at work are like, now, where do I get this Fortnite from?

Well, at least I've downloaded it. Yeah, you guys could just go in, walk around. The problem is I unplugged my playstation and just put it in the spare room in the cupboard i've lost my hdmi cable for it yeah because it wasn't um everything it wasn't centered yeah anymore because i had to put the eskimo men in gotcha no you can't say eskimos it's adventurers now isn't it yeah and so it was out of it wasn't centered because i'm a record player and the PlayStation. Gotcha.

And it was all to the right side. So I had to just, the PlayStation had to go. I mean, you've got such a busy day out and about. You'll never find 10 minutes to completely replug that in. However, will you function? Too hard. Right. Too hard basket.

Gotcha. So what, are you going to choose one or just? Oh, no. Why don't you just invite the lads? Fortnite. And they could just massacre everybody at work. But then I also don't know what everybody's going to do at work. Because the minute there's more than four people, someone's got to sit out, right?

Am I right, Jared? If there's more than four people, you've got to have people sitting out. Yeah. Because you can't drop a whole bunch of squads into the same game because then you know it's technically it could be 12 against teams of four i'll sit out yes they could do like a custom game um but then it'll just be people from work in their own game so like oh just do a zoom why don't they do a zoom yeah i don't reckon i'd be the worst though who do you reckon you'd be better than In the office

Most of them Because I've at least played You've played before Yeah right Yeah right Okay well good luck Because I won't be

Thanks Ash Kelda good morning Welcome to the show Fleetspawn and Megan It is two minutes past six Happy Friday Not that it matters Welcome to the show, Fleeche, Vaughn and Megan. It is two minutes past six. Happy Friday. Not that it matters.

Friday. Now, I know we're going to talk about this monstrosity on your face. A couple of slugs. I'm actually worried about you. You're so precious about your beard. Nah, I don't know. And now you're just like, stuff it. No, I think it's just... Maybe it was a wake-up call.

I don't know. I just looked at myself in the mirror and I was like, I can't die wondering what I would look like with a handlebar moustache. So I shaved myself a handlebar moustache. So I shaved myself a handlebar moustache. It's very chopper. It's very old made Australian. People seem to have an issue with how it thickens out at the bottom. My problem

with handlebar moustaches is how they don't. Because if you stay the same thickness as the moustache here, this is the thinnest part of the entire moustache. It's got to thicken out again. It's got to flare. I mean it could do with a, like, a bit of shaping

with some scissors. Yeah. Oh, you're obviously going to get rid of it, though. How do they... I don't think I will. I'm just saying they hate it. The Wahine in your house?

The Wahine in my house, they hate it. But we might be in for a month long lockdown. I'll just grow it out. I try to goatee on the way to this. Oh, yeah. No, you're not a... I'm not a goatee guy. You're not a hypnotist. I don't know if I've just grow it out. I try to goatee on the way to this. No.

I'm not a goatee guy. You're not a hypnotist. I don't know if I've ever seen your chin. It's quite a nice chin. It's not a bum chin, but there's definitely a small dimple. Yeah, I've never noticed a small dimple. There's a little dimple in the chin. We do need to discuss the message that you sent the group chat

before you arrived to work this morning. If I could just read this. If the place is going 115 kilometres an hour with no siren song, am I allowed to go 115 kilometres an hour behind that policeman? And I know it's a policeman because I saw his penis. Do you want to explain that message to the group chat

just moments ago? On the way to work, there was a police car, and it was going 115 kilometres an hour, no sirens. Right. So I was like, does that... Did it have the lights on? No, no, no, nothing. Does that allow me to also go 115 kilometres an hour?

As that police officer's obviously not going anywhere in a hurry, otherwise they'd have lights or sirens. How did you see his penis? Well, no, then I said policeman and I was doing audio to text. So you can't be like delete, delete, delete police person or police officer. So then I wanted to say I wasn't just assuming their gender. Yeah, right. The iPhone's got a bit to go with the Kiwi accent, doesn't it?

Yeah. So that's why I said I saw his penis. Even though I hadn't seen his penis, I just saw that it was a policeman. Yeah, right. Were they no sirens? No sirens, no lights. Oh, right. Okay.

But sometimes they have the pointy speedo things in the back window. Yeah, they can ping you like that. And did you see the stats out of Wellington? No. About the people they've caught speeding? I think it was 115. That's what I was about to say.

This happened last lockdown. People hoon. Because there's no one on the say. This happened last lockdown. People hoon. Because there's no one on the roads. Yeah. But like people hoon past me. I'm like, it's not suddenly the Autobahn. What's in Morgan? Wellington police got 111 drivers speeding on the first day of lockdown.

A teenager was caught going 160 kilometres. He was 17. Oh my God. Yeah, that was Puketua Bay on the company coast. It would be like... Yeah. I know a cop. Yeah.

And he will every now and then send me a photo of, like, the Speedo reading, which still is, like, digital readout, like the DeLorean and Back to the Future. Yeah, yeah, yeah. An old digital clock. And someone was doing 128 clicks on the way home from the supermarket and they just said, I was just in a hurry to get home. You know, we're in a lockdown. In a 50.

In a 50. No, no, no, in a 100. Oh, right. God, I was going to say. And that was their excuse. You know, I've got to get home. I don't want to be out here getting exposed to COVID. I think you're in your car, mate.

Over 120Ks, you outrun COVID. Yeah, COVID can't keep up with that. Yeah. But yeah, just be careful on the roads because there are some bloody maniacs And with no one in front of you, it can sneak up.

Yeah, because with no one around you, you can all of a sudden look at the speedo and you're doing 120. Yeah. Especially in the 2003 Honda Accord, that was a vehicle made for speed.

It was. Coming up on the show, we'll give you the chance to win your boring mundane bills paid off this morning at 8 o'clock with the movie Free Guy. Look, there is a real chill running through our gay community. Oh, really? The LGBTQI plus Queen Sound Winter Pride might be cancelled. Not again, because last year, the last two years.

Yeah, second year in a row. Second, wait, you're thinking third. No, no, because the year would have been last year. 2020, 2021. It's going to be cancelled. I mean, it feels like forever. How long has this pandemic been going? So I've got the top six ways to celebrate Pride,

Winter Pride at home. Oh, okay, that'll be handy. All right. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. So, if you have a pet in lockdown, and I know last time there was a lot of people who got pets, right? Guilty. Guilty.

Guilty as charged. Oh, that's right. Remember that? Yep. No, it's not a short-time thing. It's not a quick decision to make. What, lockdown? Forever, is it?

I have to keep panning it. Ah, yeah, they meow, meow, meow. You have to keep putting food in their mouth, don't you? Yeah. Yeah. But it turns out that cuddling and patting a dog can significantly enhance your well-being. But not a cat?

Well, no, because you pat them and then two seconds later it's like... Yeah, it's like, leave me alone until it's time to be fed and then it's your best friend. Yeah, it shouldn't be a surprise though, because I mean, like, you have therapy dogs and... Yeah. Do they take animals into hospital?

They don't take cats, do they? No, because cats can sense cancer, don't they, in death, and they come and sit on your lap, and the old people are like, where are my time hairs, damn? So, yeah, they did a study and said that you can basically pat away your anxiety. I thought it was good for blood pressure too. It can lower your blood pressure.

Right. I guess it's like the rake in the sand. It's the concentration on the, like, slow petting. Oh, yeah. Maybe a new pet and they go. So maybe get a new you time your breath to their but maybe if it's impossible to get a dog

are you saying get one of those little mini Japanese sand things with a rake. Pretty much. But then don't get one of those

and a cat because the cat will shit in it. It'll get out there and it'll go scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch and then try to cover it

but the sand's gone everywhere and now it's a shambles. Now you've got a shamb Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch. And then try to cover it, but the sand's gone everywhere. Now it's a shambles. Now you've got a shambles on your hand. Hands. Right. But also don't go pet a random stranger's dog because you shouldn't be seeing random strangers. No.

And also you don't know if it's going to be happy to see you. That's what somebody, I didn't think about this, but their neighbour's cat comes over for a pat and a hello. But now they're like, the cat can't come in because it would breach the bubs. But what, do they have COVID on their surface? Cats? Can they carry it? You can cough on a cat.

Yeah, right. Yeah, because they said that last lockdown, if you're going out for a walk, don't let your dogs interact because it's bursting your bubs. Really? And COVID can get passed on to, remember there was like animals in the zoo with COVID and stuff? Tigers and stuff.

Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, lions and bears. Oh, my. So don't feed Tiddles next door. No. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Day three of level four lockdown for the country. And currently 21 cases of COVID-19 in the country.

120 locations of interest now. That list has absolutely ballooned. If you want the list and easy link, you can go to the COVID.gov website or you can just text LOI, locations of interest, LOI to 9696. We'll find you back a link with those locations. Northcote College, Linfield College

now added to the list as well. So a couple of those locations. Northcote College, Linfield College, now added to the list as well. So a couple of big places. Yeah. Already added to the other. Northcote College. Schools and unis. Holy moly. So yeah, some big locations.

There's going to be a press conference at three today. So the government's going to meet and decide about the levels. Uh-huh. Which you... Oh, mate, mate. It's a four. It's a four for everybody.

Prepare yourself. I'm mentally prepared for a four. No cases at the moment, but you're telling me that it's been in the community possibly since the start of August and nobody has been from Auckland to the South Island. I can personally name about ten people I know that have been down there. And that doesn't cover Queenstown. It only stopped yesterday, like 48 hours to get home.

Yeah. It almost feels like two weeks has been that period, you know? Yeah. Oh, for goodness sake. But yeah, just knuckle down. 1,001, what other college did you say? Because Avondale, the first one that was named, has a massive role. I think it's West Auckland's biggest school.

Northcote's got 1,000. Yeah, third biggest school in the country. Northcote and Linfield. Linfield College has a role of 1,785. So that's no shrinking violet of a school. That's a big one. And Avondale. I know they'd set up

a testing station in Avondale College for Avondale College students and their families. Now, even, Christ shit, a friend of the show, Katie,

waited for a, a former producer, Kalen, waited hours for a test yesterday. People in Auckland, some people turned away. They went in the morning and didn't,

so heck, if you're in line, take snacks. Yeah. If you're wanting to get a test take snacks wee bottle away a wee bottle yeah um and um yeah and remember to do that thing where you um every now and then start your car i mean you'd be moving anyway but start your car up you don't want to run your battery flat yeah that's true but yeah yeah just be prepared to be in for

the long haul uh for you're doing the right thing you are doing the right thing what else would you be doing sitting at home or waiting in line at the supermarket. This is true. Not breaching lockdown because you will be arrested. Five people arrested for breaching COVID restrictions so far and the police are nay effing about with it.

Yeah, dishing out fines. They'll dish out fines. You'll be arrested. This is a criminal record so that when borders do open up again, guess who won't be able to travel to heaps of countries? You. Although I'm guessing that you probably won't vaccinate either and you're not going to be able to travel anyway because countries won't want you without

vaccinations. No. You. Yeah. So don't lark about, this is a waste of time. I feel like I'm telling the wrong people. They don't listen to the station. No, they don't. You're probably right, no. How do we feel about the supermarkets enforcing masks? 100%. Fantastic. Because, did

you see yesterday, so Foodstuff, which is like New World, Pack and Save, Foursquare. Yeah, they said you will not get let in without a mask. And I think that caused a bit of trouble. And I'm on their side. But Countdown, they're like, we're not enforcing it.

Come on, Countdown. We're not the police. Come on, Countdown. Get someone on the door. There was a guy at our New World yesterday. Our New World also got this trolley sanitizer. You get a trolley and you push it through the car wash. And it pushes the arm open.

Oh, that's fancy. And then the security guard was like, mask, yes, scan in. And he was making you scan in. Yeah. You weren't allowed in until you'd QR'd. Well, the countdown near me, you've got to scan in. They've got a person there. Why not have that person just say, put a mask on?

I know. Come on, countdown. You're good. You're good people. You know? One cards. Why do people have to be told? It's so frustrating.

Yeah. You're going to a congregating. Yeah. Put a freaking mask on. Come on, guys. Put a mask on. All right.

20 past 60. Top six is next. And there's a worry that Gay Ski Week won't go ahead. Winter Pride. Winter Pride in Queenstown.

Some events have already been cancelled and now the whole event hangs in the balance. How you can celebrate Winter Pride at home. From the ZM Clickbait Room, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Winter Pride. Could it be cancelled?

Probably. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news. It's a 10-day festival meant to start on August 27, so a week today. Yeah. Because what level would we have to be at? Two? One. One.

One, preferably, right? Worse than they already do. Yeah. I mean, domestic only. I know this people feel worse than they already do. Yeah. I mean, domestic only. I know this was a big trans-Tasman event. Yeah. Like, lots of Australians came across for it. It was massive.

Didn't happen last year. And, I mean, I don't want to be a negative Nigel or Nelly. Yeah. But don't hold your breath. Yeah. It seems unlikely. And no one from Auckland is going to be allowed toie. Yeah. But don't hold your breath. Yeah. It seems unlikely. And no one from Auckland's going to be allowed to go. No.

No one from the North Island's going to be allowed to go. Even if the South Island at the end of this gets to open up. So look, look, look, look. Let's move on. Silver Linings. Top six ways to do winter pride at your place. Okay. Number six.

Get three mirrors. Yeah. And make them into an open-topped triangle. So one in front of you and then two on the side. Yeah. And then stick your face in the gap. Yeah. And it creates one of those infinite things where it just looks like you're in a massive crowd.

Okay. Yeah, great. Got it? Yeah, cool. Maybe put on some music. Yeah, do Mariah. Yeah. Christina.

Yeah. Cindy Lauper. Christina is your go-to. Blondie. Yeah. Christina. Yeah. Cindy Lauper. Christina's your go-to. Blondie. Yeah. I think there's some gay icons here. Yeah. That David Guetta and Kelly Rowland song,

Dance Commander. Yeah. Cher. Number five on the list of the top six ways to do winter pride at your place. Climb inside the chest freezer

and search hashtag pride on Instagram. I just did before to make sure it was the right sort of pride. Yes, the homosexuals still very much own the hashtag pride, which I'm great with, but I think it's also completely changed my explore page on Instagram. Yeah, great. Number four on the list of the top six ways to do winter pride at your place.

There was an event scheduled called Naked Boys Reading. Oh, did I? And this was described as, Naked Boys Reading is exactly what it sounds like. Completely naked men reading literature aloud. It's a sexy book club, a sumptuous and scandal event sure to arouse, educate, and entertain all at once. Is this in the local library at Queenstown?

Do you have to be a homosexual to go to that? Mm-mm. I don't think so. Imagine Megan sits in the corner of Naked Men Reading. Yeah. At Winter Pride. Why am I making that noise? Because you've got asthma.

I forgot my inhaler. Oh my God. Hey, but I was thinking. Yeah. Fletch, Jared. Yeah. Should we do this on Zoom? We could do an open-ended Zoom.

Naked boys reading. Naked boys reading. What would you read? I'd read a little Harry Potter. And the Prisoner of Azkaban. No offence, Jared. Timely that producer Jared is wearing his pride mask today. Yeah.

That's cool. Oh, we can't. I'd probably read a comic. A graphic novel. Yeah, good. A lot of pictures. You'd have to be turning it around the whole time. Or maybe you could have a little camera over your shoulder to show everybody.

I'll strategically have the book on my lap. All right. Don't be shy. Don't be shy. It's Native Boys Reading. Let me just pop this down in the HR journal. Number three on the list of the top six ways to celebrate winter pride at your place, if it is cancelled, one of the other events, this was supposed to be happening on Friday the 3rd of September, Disco Daddy.

Well, I've got this handled by a moustache now. Let's put on some BGs and do this. Do this on Zoom. I've always said you'd go down a treat in the gay community as a B-daddy. Absolutely. When my wife put this up, my face up because she's disgusted with

this handlebar moustache. On Instagram. She hates it. I'll tell you who did it. The gay people. The gay people? The gays. See the gays you can say in this tone. The g people. The gay people? The gays. See, the gays you can say in this tone, the gays. But then if you say the gays, it makes it sound like. Yeah, yeah.

It's just all in your tone there. But they weren't lapping it up. The gay people. They were in the inbox, weren't they? Yeah. I think they just thought, this is it. It's finally happening. Yeah.

He's coming over. Our good friend, Zach, friend of the show. Oh, yeah, he's all about it. Whoa, oh, God, he won't leave me alone now. He's a show lawyer. He's a show lawyer. He's a show lawyer. He said he'd hold on tighter than a downhill bike ride.

I don't think his opinion can't represent everyone. And Maddie McLean. Oh, yeah. Maddie McLean said that this just opens up the book of possible role playing. Yeah. So I'm all for it. We'll delve into Vaughn's. Is Vaughn's moustache on her Instagram yet?

It's handled up. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I was working on the self-face. We'll get a photo up soon so you can see this monstrosity. Okay. Excuse me. Number two on the list of the top six ways to celebrate winter pride at your place.

Friday night, the same night as Disco Daddy, there was going to be a comedy night. Oh, okay. Instagram is chocker with comedians from the New Zealand NZ LGBTQI plus community. Chris Park is back doing lockdown content, and it's good lockdown content. You've got your Tom Sainsbury's. You've got your Eli Mathewson's, Ursula Carlson, James Musterbeck,

Liv McKenzie, James Malcolm, the Top Twins. Really? Yeah. Fuck aye. What? Yeah.

And number one on the list of the top six ways to do winter pride at your place. So you need to run the sink with cold water and then fill it with ice. Now put your hand in for as long as you can until it goes numb. Then you know what happens. You are out of control today.

When you said Bepanthan, we said no. No, I didn't say Bepanthan. No, we were going to say Bonjella. No, we'll say for Jella. For Panthen, nappy cream. Although that would stop any rashing. For Jella. Wow. That's today's top six.

ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Overnight, the list of locations of interest is now 120. If you want the locations of interest, you can just text LOI for locations of interest to 9696. We'll find you back a link with all of those. Overnight as well, two more colleges confirmed as being locations of interest in Auckland, Northcote College and Linfield. Huge list.

Like, we're just going through it, just wondering how we've dodged all of these places. Yeah. Like, supermarkets food places movies uh it's yeah pharmacies it's it's insane parks even as well so uh get through that list there will be a press conference today at three o'clock uh where they will announce um they're addressing the lockdown yeah i mean prepare yourself prepare mentally prepare for more of this god God damn it.

We have been through some internet lately. Are you actually surprised though? No, but okay. Yes. Because Chorus released these. I remember last, like when we all went into level four, didn't we beat a record? Yes.

So the first point where Chorus is like, this was the big one, the Rugby World Cup final in 2019. Yeah. Before all this happened. And it was straight, it was the first time. Spark sport.

Yeah, it was the first time a rugby's been streamed. Yes. A final. Yeah. The Chorus Network at that stage had a 3.5 terabytes. Hold on, I just need to confirm it's terabytes

and not terabits. Yes, terabytes per second ceiling. I just need to confirm it's terabytes and not terabits. Yes, terabytes per second ceiling. So if it hit that, we'd used up all the internet in the country. That was the biggest pipe we had. Right. And so at that time, it was an all-time high usage of 2.6 terabytes per second

during the Rugby World Cup final. 2.6 terabytes per second. First lockdown, March 2020. We got to 3 terabytes per second. I remember we talked about that. We talked to the guy from Chorus. Yeah. And he was just like, yeah, nuts.

Like, we are streaming some stuff. We blew it to bits. Really? It has a new record peak of 3.6 terabytes per second. Good work, New Zealand. An increase of 27% on Monday night's traffic and a new all-time high for the broadband providing network. Wow.

But everyone's at home. They're working. Did you say Monday night? We weren't even... No, compared to Monday night. It was a 27% increase compared to Monday night. So if that had happened in 2019, they wouldn't have been able to handle it

because the ceiling was 3.5 terabytes per second. What's our ceiling now? I don't know what the ceiling is it because the ceiling was 3.5 terabytes per second. What's our ceiling now? I don't know what the ceiling is now, but they said 3.6. Is what we hit. Yeah. Do they not want to tell us the ceiling because we'll act it. We'll bloody tell them what we can. So there was a level two lockdown in Auckland, a Black Caps versus Australia game,

and a major update on Fortnite in March that pushed it to 3.2 terabytes per second, but we beat that at 3.6. Right. So that was when, yeah, if that had happened in 2019, they don't know. It just would have been like way more than it could have handled. So a terabyte of storage would be about 500 hours worth of movies. One terabyte. So all up yesterday, New Zealanders had 26 petabytes of data, which is the equivalent of Netflix running an HD stream

for 1,000 years nonstop. Jesus. That is nuts. That's how much we used in one day. Wow. Well, we're at home. Yeah, don't judge us for watching. We, next week, might be doing a

Have You Been Paying Attention From Home? Oh, okay. You love that. Famously. It's hard to be funny when you've got to stop every five minutes and save off your quick time. That'll really kill the flow of fun. So they wanted us to do a speed test,

like go to the speed test and like do it and then screen cap it and send it to them. And I did it. They were like, oh, no, no, no. You need to do this on your broadband. I was like. I'm on rural broadband, baby. Don't speed shame me.

It was embarrassing. I think it was like slower yesterday than it's been though. Really? Yeah. Three megabytes a second. It's poverty, guys. Oh,abytes a second. It's poverty guys. Oh, thoughts and prayers. I'm thinking of you in this tough time.

Yeah. Yeah. We've worked out though, if everybody is not on the internet, Fortnite, I can play on the PlayStation 5 and the kids can play on the Nintendo Switch. And the Nintendo Switch must use less data because we can both play without major glitches.

It's like you're flatting in the 2000s. It's cute. Just going to put our whoosh wireless broadband up in the window. Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan. Variety has released, I don't know why they thought this was a good idea, but the highest recent film star salaries, the top 17 too, which feels

weird. Well, that's an uneven number. I would have dropped 17. I was just- Or made it 15. 15, right? I was just looking through to see how many women there were on there. Do you want to guess out of the 17 how many women?

Well, pay equity is good in Hollywood, isn't it? Famously. Famously. What's pay parity? There's no issue there. For a moment, I was like, do you? Five? No, less.

Two. Three. Scarlett Johansson. There is three women. No Scarlett. No Scarlett. Oprah. No Oprah.

This is movie stars. No Scarlett Johansson. No Scarlett. Maybe next year. She had a great year. Yeah, three out of the 17. Who are they? The three women?

Yeah. Sandra Bullock. Okay. The Lost City of D. So this is how much they've made in the past year. $20 million. Julia Roberts, $25. What did she?

And Jennifer Lawrence. Leave the World Behind. Okay. Julia Roberts made Leave the World Behind? Yeah. And Don't Look Up. $25 million. Jennifer Lawrence. Okay. Julia Roberts made Blue the Wood Hind? Yeah, and Don't Look Up. 25 million Jennifer Lawrence.

Right. Oh, Don't Look Up's that new movie that her and Leonardo DiCaprio have to convince the world that an asteroid's coming and it's going to kill everyone. It's like a comedy. How do they know that it's coming? Because they're... Leonardo DiCaprio in a comedy? Yeah, and it's straight to Netflix.

It's directed and written and everything by Adam McKay, who's worked with Will Ferrell in the big short and stuff. Yeah, right. Also, I would never have picked who was number one. Okay,

go through the top 10 biggest movie salaries. She's just counting up. Yeah, 10. Right, actually, just out of number 11 is Chris Hemsworth, 20 mil.

Ryan Gosling, the grey man, he is 20 million. And then Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence come in next. Yeah. Mark Wahlberg, 30 million. Leonardo DiCaprio, don't look up, 30 million. Denzel Washington is number four, the little things, 40 million. So the top three now. Geez.

Number three is Will Smith, King Richard, $40 million. King Richard, he's playing Venus and Serena's dad. Oh, yeah, that's right. Number two is The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, read one, $50 million. They're just one movie. Yeah, it's what they've made in the past year. And he makes like famously he's in everything.

Everything. Dwayne The Rock Johnson, everything. So, $50 million, right? So the top three was $40 million, $50 million. Yeah. And now we jump to $100 million for number one. For one movie? Who's in that? Knives Out Secret. This is how much they've made in a year. Not for one movie. So one movie? Who's in that? Knives Out sequel. This is how much

they've made in a year. Not for one movie. So, and this is mainly because of Netflix, what they've been paid for Netflix. Number one

is Daniel Craig. $100 million. Jesus. For that and James Bond. Or just for Knives Out? It says mostly from Netflix. Because he would have been paid for James Bond like a year. Or just for Knives Out? It says mostly from Netflix. Because he would have been paid for James Bond like a year or two ago

because that was filmed ages ago. So for example, Knives Out was released in cinemas in 2019, so before pandemic. But then they make their money there. And then if they sell it to Netflix does Netflix pay them and he must have had residuals in that movie that's

that's the thing they've said these salaries are a lot of the time for residuals so they get paid a certain amount to do the movie

and then depending on how well the movie does they get part of the profit I haven't seen Knives Out but people rave about it so good it's so good

and there's so many famous people on it yeah and the sequel's already like underway, right? Yeah. Knives Out the sequel. Yeah. Huh.

Okay. Daniel Craig, $100 million. That is insane money for like, yeah, one movie. Yeah.

When's payday? ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Lockdown. It's important to have someone to pass the time. Projects. Well, it's good to have someone to pass the time. Projects. Well, it's good to have a routine, isn't it?

Yep. Yes. Like wake up and do a task. Have a task. Yeah, have a task. Something you can achieve. We spoke to Sarah Chatwin, a psychologist, about that you're good to have a routine.

Get out of your PJs. Yep. Have a shower. Maybe go for a walk. Yep. Every day. Yep. And yeah, a shower. Yeah. Maybe go for a walk. Yeah. Every day. Yeah. And yeah, a project passes the time.

It's probably something. I'm thinking of doing this thing that I saw online last lockdown. And I said to the kids, this would be cool. And they didn't seem that keen. But you know what? I don't need them. Okay. So this guy made this like awesome little like terranium thing out of a big jar and just some water

he got out of the creek. Okay. And you get a bit of like stones and stuff. And then like if there's any like little like back swimmers and stuff in there, I'm not selling it. I'm not a great job of selling it, but it's like a terranium. And then the water settles over time and the water at the top goes clear and all the stuff settles at the bottom.

And then it's like a little fish tank. Oh. Terrarium. What am I saying? Am I saying it wrong? Terrarium. Terrarium. Terrarium. Terrarium. Terrarium. Terrarium. But it's not a terrarium, it's just like a... Look, I've not done a great job

of selling it. Yeah, I can see why the girls want it out. When I do it, no one's going to like it either. So this is more for me. You know what? I'm a little introspective. Will you tink around and do that? Can I just go sludgy and smelly? Yep, probably.

Okay, cool, man. But I'll know after three days, after the water's settled. But yeah, I don't have any. I just finished my lockdown project before lockdown started. I know because they move so fast with level four lockdown, a lot of people didn't get the chance to go to the hardware stores. Well, they announced it when they were already shut. Yeah.

I mean, it's probably for the best. Yeah, I mean, there's literally hardware stores on the locations of interest. Yeah, there is. There's like two or three. They were added yesterday. Yeah. So probably a good idea. Yeah.

That it happened then. And yeah, but people, they've got projects. And we wanted to know if you've got a lockdown project to keep the mind busy. Maybe you're putting it off and you're like, well, I guess I could do it. Yeah. I started making clothes in the first lockdown.

What, like 18 months ago? On your banana. Yeah. And they are not finished and they've been in the cupboard ever since. What are you making? Because I can't imagine you wearing clothes. A t-shirt and a skirt.

I'm making, sorry, I cheated and I did a pattern off an existing skirt. And I was just like making a rep for that. That's not cheating. That's not cheating. Did you pick apart the existing skirt? Yeah. Wow. I know.

And you've started back together? I also have not finished. It's only cheating if you put the labels from that skirt onto the new one you've made. No, that's not cheating. That's how my mum got me a billabong hoodie. A billabong cola fleece in the 90s. No, she didn't like the logo. No, she picked the logo off something else and put it on.

Or you use those fluff it pens and are like, billabong. Hey, we all made a Simpsons themed fluff it pen t-shirt when we were kids and our parents wouldn't buy us any Simpsons merchandise. Did the kids at school know that was a rip-off, Billabong? Kids at school can smell a rip-off. They can smell not as bad as the kid whose dad wrote Barkers on his track pants. No. He was a sign writer.

So in his defense, he did it properly. Pretty much exactly how Barkers would have done it. They laid the trackpad out and they did the... Yeah. With vinyl. No, no, no. With, like... Paint. Paint.

Oh, Dad. He was trying, though. And then strapped it in one of those things. Is it screen printing where you drag the paint over and it sits on top and then it sets? That would have been a pretty good replica. Oh, wasn't the right... Comic Sans.

Comic Sans markers. It was the 90s. It was only five fonts. So we want to hear from you this morning. 0800 DALS. Give us a text. 9696.

What is your lockdown project that you want to start or maybe you have started? Whether it's actually DIY or whether it's making clothes or a terrarium. Terrarium. Terrarium. Ferrarium. That's where you put a car in a jar.

Want to know your lockdown projects. Maybe those things that you've just started. Now that we're all in level four, the things you've been putting off, maybe like Megan, you've got the hang on, you are about to get the sewing machine out. No, last lockdown I started the clothes, but this lockdown haven't carried it on, but I should.

Banana, banana so easy and so versatile. Do you actually have the banana? No. What's your brand? Janome. Oh, Janome. Is that a good one? Is that a good one?

It was the other. It was the other sewing machine. It was the other brand. Can you, when you make this dress, can you wear it to work and don't tell us? You won't be able to tell. Maybe. Let's see how it goes. The head might be like that.

Yeah, and then if we see you in a wonky dress, we'll be like, is this a homemade dress? Is it? You should make masks for big faces. Because look. I reckon I can make a mask easy peasy. And you're actually, you've got a breach there in your hem. There, that's tearing at the bottom down the middle.

It's coming open. Because of your big face. I do have a better mask at home. Yeah. Olivia, what's your lockdown project? What have you started? So our lockdown project is painting the bathroom ceiling. Ooh.

Did it get steamy and all like blah, blah? Cracked. Well, just before the first level four lockdown, my partner and I had just bought our house. Yep. And so obviously lockdown happened. We're like, cool, perfect time to actually get this done. So we peeled off the old paint, plastered it, sanded it,

and we kind of forgot about it. Yeah. So it's been like a year of like having a, like a plastered roof. Wait, you've been exposed. Yeah. Yeah, right. Oh, you plastered it. Okay.

Yeah. But the plaster doesn't like melt you. Have you got some, what kind of paint are you using? Have you got, like, the anti-mold and mildew stuff? I don't know. All I know is it's bathroom ceiling paint. Oh, okay. All of it's specific bathroom ceiling paint.

There you go, mate. So are you going to take the step and do that this lockdown? The thought is there. I've already done, like, the pre-taping around, like, the skirting up the top. I hate that. That's the worst part about painting, the taping. The prepping. Yeah, that taping around the skirting at the top. I hate that. That's the worst part about painting, the taping. The prepping. Yeah, that taping. Yeah, that was enough

to kind of put me off for the rest of the day. Remember to put a drop cloth down because when you're painting the upward ceiling, you get lots of drips. Your gravity. I've got a towel over the vanity and I've got my chair with a rubbish bag over it so I don't ruin that. You're ready to go.

Yeah, I think today could be the day, Olivia. We want before and and I've got my chair with a rubbish bag over it, so I don't ruin that. You're ready to go. Yeah. Let's do it. It's going to be the day, Olivia. We want before and afters, Olivia. We're invested now. This is like the episode of The Block. Olivia, 10 points. Fletcher would be Mark Richardson. I don't want to be Mark Richardson.

Nobody does. No, I know, but you've got to be. I'm sorry. Somebody has to. You're the closest to Mark. Megan can get Mark Richardson. You're. No, I know, but you've got to be. I'm sorry. Somebody has to. You're the closest to Mark. Megan get Mark Richardson. You're the furthest away from Mark. Megan's Mark Richardson. Piss off. Yeah, and I've been medically deemed allergic to Mark

Richardson, so I can't. You're Duncan Garner. I'm not Duncan Garner. You're Duncan Garner. I'm Amanda Gillies. Megan's Amanda Gillies. I'm Amanda Gillies. Megan's Amanda Gillies. She's Ryan Bridge. I'll be Ryan Bridge.

Put your hair in a ponytail. Thank you for your call, Olivia. Do let us know. I don't know. You're Andrew Mulligan. We're going to crowd go as well. We're just following the whole Mark Richardson. Catherine, what's your lockdown project?

We're having a veggie garden competition. Oh, I like this. Who's the competition with? My partner. Okay, and so... Where are you getting your seeds from? Oh, we mail ordered them a wee while ago. Oh, there she is.

I was thinking about doing that because it's spring just around the corner. But how does the competition... Would you still be able to do that in lockdown? They'd still be able to... Yeah, they're like non-contact. Yeah, they can put it in the post. Okay, good, good.

How does this competition work though? Like who grows the best veggies... Yeah, they're like, no contact. Yeah, they can put it in the post. Okay, good, good. How does this competition work, though? Like, who grows the best veggies? Yeah, pretty much. Digging the garden out of the lawn. You should... Oh, shit, okay. You should poison his side. Yeah.

Poison his side. Vegetables are the winners for everybody. Do you have the same soil, like the same patch? Yes, yeah, definitely. You've got some... Lawn, lawn dirt. You've got some poos,

you've got some manure, you've got some, you know, fertilizer. You've got some stuff. No, we've definitely. Just lawn dirt. You've got some poos, you've got some manure, you've got some you know, fertilizer. No, definitely got fertilizer though. Okay. Yeah, okay. The horse people are always putting the poos in the sacks on the side of the road. You can't do that in a level four. I heard the Prime Minister

said at the conference, no pony poo sale. Tover O'Brien said, Prime Minister, what about pony poo roadside sales? And she said absolutely not. Absolutely not. Catherine, thanks, you're cool. Good luck with the veggie growing. Stuart, what's your lockdown project? What are you undertaking?

I'm making a barbecue out of an old stainless steel LPG tank that I salvaged from the scrapyard. Oh, great. Is it a big one? You're doing like an offset? No, no, like the circle charcoal barbecues. You, is it a big one? You're doing like an offset? No, no, like the circle charcoal barbecues you could buy at like Warehouse and Bunnings and stuff.

For a moment I thought you were rigging up some kind of gas system and I was like, you be bloody careful. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'd love to try that, but no, I prefer the taste of charcoal. Are you capable of a weld? Yeah, yeah. I've been doing a bit of welding as well. Cool, cool.

Oh, I'm looking forward to seeing your first cook. You've been doing a barbecue belt, haven't you? For like five years. We'll catch up with you in five years and see how that's going. Yeah, we'll see you in five years. All right, 7.24. There's other text messages. Okay, yeah, quickly, yeah.

That'd be lovely. I won't be rushed. Famously. Will White, what have you got to do? What, are you going to rush out and socialise, do you? Yeah, okay, yeah. That'd be lovely. I won't be rushed. Famous scene. Will White, what have you got to do? What, are you going to rush out and socialise, do you? Yeah, okay, fair call. We've got no rush. We're just chilling out.

What is time? Relaxing. I'm making a new oxalotl tank out of a 200 litre drum. Bit like a terrarium, but for oxalotls. And even a freshwater mussel. An oxalotl-arium. Freshwater mussels. Freshwater mussels. terrarium but for oxalotils and even a freshwater muscle an oxalotil area freshwater muscles um so i'm finishing all my cross-stitching embroidery projects

sorry i just ordered it nans on a new puzzle i talked to marlene yesterday my nan um she's on a new puzzle all right maybe i'll make you like a crochet. You can put it on your wall. If you make me one, I'm hanging it in the house because that's the sort of guy I am. If I get a gift, I display it regardless of how much my wife hates it. I'm just newly engaged. I picked up some old blackboard easels so I'm going to

upcycle them for my wedding signs. That's good. Get that underway. Don't leave that till the last minute because it gets very, very busy. Yeah. My husband is finishing his man cave complete with a stopped bar. Oh, that's good. I'm commentary on the kids' treehouse,

I've decided. For a bar? Just to chill. Just to get away. You don't, that's very high, that treehouse. I don't think you should be drinking up there. You're definitely falling.

Well, I just won't come down. I'll come down in the morning. Yeah, I'll come down in the morning. Okay, fair call. I'll take a sleeping bag. That would actually be an exciting thing to do. ZM's Fleshworn and Megan. Play ZM.

Yesterday, I went to the supermarket, followed the precautions, scanned in, masks on, sanitised trolleys. Yeah, good. And they were, sanitised trolleys. Yeah, good. And they were all making sure that was happening. So kudos to supermarkets that are enforcing the masks and everything. Kudos to everybody just working in the supermarkets, putting up with people,

because they do an amazing job. They do, yeah. And good to see they're rolling out the vaccines to supermarket workers ASAP, which is great. That's great news. So got the supplies and jumped in this big long line. Didn't you just go the day before for your weekly food shop? Yes.

Yesterday. You forgot things, didn't you? Yes. This is why Sade's in charge of the weekly food shop. Yes. Well, she did make him the list, to be fair. You hit it. Oh, and on the way home, August sent me a message saying she wanted to make a cake. Oh, okay.

And she needed some ingredients. Okay. So I was like, well, I like cake. And so I stopped and got the ingredients. But then when I was there, you know, when you're there, you're like, oh, this, that, and the other, and I got all the stuff. Yeah. And then I jumped on this long line, and this guy was going down the line being like, oh,

looking in trolleys, and we're like, oh, you can use the self-serve if you want. And I was like, oh, I didn't even know the self-serve was an option. I thought this line was for everything. And then he got to me and was like, can I use the self-serve? And I had slightly more than 12 items. And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And three people in front of me said no thanks and they had like less stuff than me.

Yeah, I find that some people are scared of using the self-serve. Well, they don't want to. But they weren't like really old people. Is it that I want to touch screens, COVID screens? Maybe. But there's sanitizer on both sides. And every time someone... They're constantly cleaning.

They're constantly cleaning it, yeah. So riddle me that, Batman. Why didn't people want to... Use the self-serve? Yeah. One guy had like four things. It would have been so easy and so much quicker and he stood in a line that was, you know,

they had all their checkouts open, but then people were distancing and... Yeah, it's an odd one. Yeah. Well, I was out before he'd even moved. Then you're not dealing with a person, you know? Well, yeah, that's why I like the self-serve. Yeah.

And especially in this time. Yeah. If you can, and you're taking a little bit of the load off the lines and everything. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe there's people just who are freaked out by them, but I'm all for them. Yeah. But yeah, people don't want to use them.

All right. Coming up. Please warn a Megan. Refund your date. I depend on me. I depend on me. Well, when you could go on dates That were a fun thing you'd do with someone

To try to get to know them To maybe see if you wanted to be their forever person Yeah Not every time though And those are the dates we want to hear about We want to hear about how much A date that was terrible cost you And we could refund you

Anonymous joins us, good morning Good morning, how are you guys going? Good. How's your lockdown going? Oh, I tell you what, it's not bad. There's eight people in the house, but we're doing good. We're doing good. Eight people? Yeah. How many bedrooms is this

house? Oh, it's five, so we've got space, but it is a tidy, that's for sure. So there's a few couples there. Yep. A few couples, one kid. Yeah, madhouse. Wow.

It's a real risk of getting sick of each other, though. Yeah. It's a real risk. Hey, Anonymous, what happened on this date? Wow. Okay. So I started talking to this guy, and as you do, and it was about three weeks, and we went on one first date and i was like it was kind of awkward i was kind of like the chat's not flowing um but i thought

hang on i'm also giving guys another chance i was like let's go on another date so i was like okay let's try and do something that doesn't require talking because, you know, that's what you want to do on a date. So I was like, let's go to the movies. Yeah. Gotcha. Can sit there, don't have to chat too much and just enjoy each other's company. Anyway, so I was like, I'll be the nice girl. And I bought the tickets and I actually bought some food. Anyway, I then went to meet him at the movies.

Yeah. And I turned up there and I was like, hey, how you doing? He's like, good, good. Anyway, then I went to take the food into the theatre and I was like, by the way, I bought like tickets because I was like, you know, let's do it bougie. Oh, okay. Fancy.

And so he's like, he stopped me in my tracks and he's like, you're not going to take the food into the theatre, are you? And I was like, way to make it awkward. I was like, I'm pretty sure other people do this. Like I went and bought snacks from the supermarket. Anyway, he was like, you can't do that. You absolutely can't do that.

You have to buy a movie from the theatres. Anyway, he basically made me throw out all the food that I'd bought and I couldn't take it into the movies. What? And it got really awkward. It got real awkward because I was like, I've done this whole day and I was like, I couldn't take it into the movies. What? It got really awkward because I was like, I've done this whole day and I was like, I'm giving you another chance, whatever. Anyway, he made me leave it outside and then

we didn't talk for the whole movie. Oh my god. I was like, abort mission, abort mission. He didn't make a move. You know, like he didn't classic hold my hand. He didn't do anything. So I was like, okay. The second chance didn't work, but we're all good. Anyway, like, we ended up buying food from the movies.

So at the end of that, I was like, see you later. Have a great day. Pat him on the back. Good friendly pat on the back to send him on his way. Unbelievable. He's a real stickler for the rules there. Did he think he was going to get arrested And put in prison or something? I don't know

He wanted to like smuggle them in But I'll tell you what is the worst part Just the icing on the cake A week later I saw him on a date with a guy So I kind of got out there at the right time Wow Okay Yeah

I just can't believe Someone would not be down for sneaking in snacks Everybody does it I know That's what everyone does Like come down for sneaking in snacks. Everybody does it. I know. That's what everyone does. Like, come on, you don't even have to fight it these days. You just put them in your bag. They don't even check.

They don't care. No, but literally sometimes I'm just holding them and they're like, there you go. As long as it's not hot food. Yeah, that's what my friend said. As long as it's not hot food. But anyway, I must have hit a rant. Like, he must have not been a fan.

Yeah, yeah. So he had to call that day clip. Well, now, how much money did you splash out on these snacks and luxe food? How much do you want to claim for? It was a while ago, but I did try and do it nice, because I was, like, you know, doing it nice for a second chance and stuff, so it would have been around a hundy, I reckon. Oh, okay, well, we'll put in a hundy into the date. Now, Vaughan, this is your job, isn't it?

The date refund of $3,000. Yes, we've gone back to the $3,000 and $6,000. S, we'll put in a hundy into the date. Now, Vaughan, this is your job, isn't it? The date refund of $3,000. Yes, we've gone back to the $3,000 and $6,000. Slightly unreliable. They jumped too far ahead too quickly. You've got to learn to walk before you can run. They didn't test the tech, did they? No. No.

Your date refund request has been... Accepted. Yes! There we go. It's accepted. There you go. That's so awesome. Do you have someone that you can take to the movies now?

Yeah, definitely. After lockdown, we'll give it a go. Yes. Okay, nice. All right. Well, well done, Anonymous. $100 cash. All yours.

Thank you so much. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Vaughn's pick for Flashback Friday is just minutes away. It's a goodie. It's a real goodie. You're going to like this. It's an oldie. Have you checked this with Ross Boss?

I don't care. We're actually, Megan and I are a little worried about you. I don't know what's wrong. This time around is different. No, I agree with you. There's a bit more like last time I was like, yay, I don't have to socialise for four weeks. It was the novelty and this time it's. There's no novelty.

But do you think it's because we've had, you know, a long time of freedom and we've been watching the world and more recently

Australia does burn. Yes. And we did get arrogant. Oh, 100%. Totally. Ask anyone that is in New Zealand or living overseas

they're like, you guys need to calm down. Yeah. Reel it in, New Zealand. Well, it's been reeled in. Yeah. And I don't know, like last night I was like,

oh, I've got to shave my head because it was getting, if you shave your head, if it goes past a certain length, it becomes a real hassle and gets a bit rashy because the razor has to work so hard to shave it down.

And I was kind of like looking at myself in the mirror and I was like, I won't die wondering what will I look like with a handlebar mustache? Because I've been with Sade. I don't think I'm alcohol consumed at this point.

No. Really? This wasn't sober. I am worried about you. Completely sober. Because I've been with Sade since I was 22. And when I was 22, I could grow like a beard, but it was always real patchy. This was the last part of my beard to come in, sort of like beside the mouth that joins the moustache to the beard.

That was the last part to come in. So since I've been with her, I've either had a beard or that's it really, a trimmed beard or a bushy beard, but there's always been a beard, but there's never just been a moustache. There's never just been a standalone moustache, which I'm looking forward to trying next. I think that would be

better. And then I'm like, I won't die wondering. So I stood in front of the mirror and I put three fingers like that to see what I looked like with no hair in the middle. And then I covered my cheeks and then put some fingers in the middle. I was like, that looks all right. So I got out my clippers and I was just like, and I just hacked at my beard until I had a handlebar mustache. And I walked.

The first person I showed was Indy, my most supportive child, who, very logical, loves me regardless. Good natured. Yeah, great natured, kind spirit. And I walked in and I looked at her and she was like, what on earth have you done? Is that fake? I was like, no.

And she's like, mum's not going to like that. So then I walked into the lounge in August and Sade saw me at the same time and they just, like, lost their minds. August was like, what have you done? No, what have you done? Why did you do that? I was like, because we're in lockdown, baby. She's like, you should never pick me up from school like that. Baby.

Why didn't you tell her? It looks yuck. Why didn't you tell her? It looks yuck. Why didn't you tell her? It looks yuck. And my wife's giving me the silent treatment. Who's going, it looks yuck? Indie. Oh, my God, that could have been Sade.

Yeah, so they were. They weren't a fan. Right, okay. And, like, I'm actually going to really like it. People aren't. Somebody said I look like the backpacker killer, the guy, the serial killer from Australia.

Always nice to be compared to a serial killer. I just had to Google the actor's name, Michael Kolditz. Kudlitz, sorry. He was in Southland, which, oh my God, that was one of the greatest pop shows ever. And then he went into The Walking... He was Abraham on The Walking Dead. And that's kind of the mo mo I was going for because I don't like the thin ones

at the bottom of the handlebars. I like it where it flares out. And yeah, when I did it, I was like, ha, Abraham from The Walking Dead. Yeah. And he was in Band of Brothers. He was. I think he had that in Band of Brothers. Yeah.

Did he? I think he was like, yeah. Poll results are in. We've put a picture of Vaughn's handlebar, chunky handlebar moustache on our Instagram. Yeah. We gave you the options, love it, keep it, and hate it, shave it. Hate it, shave it, 75%. 75 to 25.

It's a good sample size too. But that was kind of like, so 25% were on board. Yeah. That's how much people voted for the National Party last time around and Judith Collins is still in charge. She hasn't taken 25% as a no. She's taken 25% as a, I might just double down on what I was doing. And now she's preferred Prime Minister, right? Look, I don't care.

I don't know why I don't care. I don't know why I don't care. I don't care what you think. Okay. Right. You look like my least favourite uncle. Well, let me become your most favourite uncle. Come here. Come here and sit on Uncle Warnie's knee.

Let me win you back. Friday Flashback. Wow, this song is old. I can see it. How old, this song is old. I can see it. How old is this song? This song came out in 1975. Oh, God, I was close. What?

Yep. Okay, well, for those that are new to the show, Friday Flashback, it's a Friday tradition. We've been doing this for years. We take turns each week picking a song that is at least 10 years old, at least. This band has been on Friday Flashback before, but not with this song. We played another one.

Okay. This was the number one in the UK, following their number one that they had the year before. It's nestled in between two other beautiful singles from this band. They really did know what they were doing. But it's the line Here I go again that made me think COVID was singing it as it spread through community cases in New Zealand. And I was like

oh no. But then I thought of the song and it made me a little bit happy. I did contemplate White Snakes Here I go again on the road. Here I go again on my own. Here I go again. On the road. Yeah, right. I'm on my own. Yeah. I'm on my own. I'm on my own.

Yeah. But I decided on this one instead because this is an absolute. It's more palatable. You got Benny. You got Bjorn. You got Agnifer. You got Annie. It's ABBA, baby.

Mamma Mia. It's your Friday flashback. On to them. Just about it. Oh, yeah, it is. It is. So I'll meet up my mind, it must come to an end Look at me now, will I ever learn? I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control There's a fire within my soul Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything Mamma mia, here I go again My, my, how can I resist her? Mamma mia, does it show again? My, my, just how much I miss her There's something broken hearted Loose since the day we parted Thank you. I've been angry and sad about things that you do I can't count all the times that I told you the truth And when you go, when you slam the door

I think you know that you want me away too long. You know that I'm not that strong. Just one look and I can hear a building. One more look and I forget everything. Mama mia, here I go again. My, my, how can I resist you? Mama mia, does I go again My, my, how can I resist you? Mama mia, does it show again? My, my, just how much I miss you

Days of me brokenhearted Blue since the day we parted Why, why did I ever let you go? Mama mia, even if I say Bye-bye, leave me now and never Mamma mia, it's a game we play Bye-bye, doesn't mean forever Mamma mia, here I go again

Bye-bye, how can I resist it? Mamma mia, doesn't show again Bye. Boom, mama mia Now I really know Mama, I could never let you go It's your Friday flashback on ZM Abba, Mama Mia, Fawn's Pick. My mum's texting, she doesn't like the song. Absolutely hates it. Bev is not a fan. She told me that's why she doesn't want me to wheel her off to her rest time. Because everyone

will have terrible music taste. Yeah. My mum will literally be in the next room cranking ABBA. Oh yeah, that's why mum won't like it. I grew up on ABBA.

ABBA, Adult and John. No. And a Dire Straits album. Those are the only albums we had. We weren't, like my parents

aren't super musical folks. Right. But your parents are like, yeah, got great music taste. Yeah. But I mean, obviously not because your mum doesn't like musical folks. Right. But your parents are like. Yeah. Got great music taste. Yeah. But I mean, obviously not because your mum doesn't like Haber. You're right.

Somebody driving home from night shift from Starship Hospital. Perfect bang and a bout out in the last few minutes of the ride. Oh, they do great work at Starship. You do good work. Thank you for your service. I'm on my way back to work in an emergency department as a nurse. So that's a good little song to get me in the right mood to get back to work. Good on you.

Again, thank you for your service. That motivated me to get out of bed away from my clock radio. Someone's still got a clock radio. That is the cutest thing ever. That is the darn cutest thing. That clock radio probably came out when ABBA came out. I think they said they wanted to get away from us, though. I might turn the radio on mid-flashback and actually yelled at my husband for changing stations.

That's what I like to hear during Friday flashback. Yep. Stuck at BP. Thanks to the dance party. Don't know whether I'm stuck at BP. Locked in or... Somebody else gave me the boost. So that's good.

Thanks for that. There you go. Thanks for that. You've chosen well, Vaughan. Thanks for that. You've really chosen well. And it means I get to hibernate my idea that I was going to use. So in three weeks' time,

tune in to hear the song that made Fletch sing and dance when we were in Queenstown. At Cowboys. At Cowboys. I listened to that song on the way to work today as well. Did that get you in the mood? Oh, yeah. Always.

It's a good song. Right now, though, why don't you talk about what your flat has or your house has turned into with this COVID level four lockdown? Because a lot of people now, they have to rush to work and get their computers or the laptops.

And they're working from home. And they're working from home. And Carl Wayne at the social media desk, you're still in the middle of a call centre at your flat, aren't you? Yeah, so my flatmate works at a call centre in her spare time and doing surveys and stuff. Yeah.

The surveys must go on! We've got a call centre at our lounge. Have you been tempted to join in and like, I'd be like, I'll just do this call. Oh my God, I'd love to just take a call. Oh yeah, like if she needs to go to the toilet, you could step up. I mean, that might be

fun for one call. Yeah, and then she's in the bathroom and you're like, oh no, I'll take care of this. What do you think of Jif? Or do you listen to ZM Radio? Is it one of those ones? No, I don't know. No, but if Karwin's doing it. Oh, no, I think it'd be funny to ask funny questions like,

what's your favourite fruit? They'll be like, what's this got to do? You told me this was a political poll. Do you like apples? We're trying to figure out if apple people vote for national. Apple eaters, big national fans. Yeah, yeah. And tonight on One News,

we can break down that the National Party is big with apple eaters. And tonight's Colmar Brunson One News special. Yeah. So we want to ask the question this morning, breakdown that the National Party is big with apple eaters. And tonight's Colmar Brunson One News Special. Yeah. So we want to ask the question this morning and take some calls from you. In level four lockdown, and heck, I mean, most people might still be asleep. What has your house or flat turned into with lockdown? Maybe it's a hive of activity. Maybe it's a packing distribution centre now in COVID times.

I don't know. What's happening in your flat during lockdown? ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. We're talking about what your house has turned into. Yeah.

Working from home become a reality for everybody in level four lockdown again. So we want to know what your house has turned into. Yeah, your flat, your house. Yeah, your flat, your house.

What are your housemates doing? Car Wayne here at the social media, there's her flat is just a constant call centre now because you can just plug it in anywhere and you're a call centre. Yeah. Isn't that amazing? We work from home all the time.

You had to plug it into the back of the router and then she was saying... Yeah. An ethernet click in. Well, it's like when we do a show somewhere, we could plug into the ethernet cable and boom, we can have a radio station anywhere. Yeah, that just happens. I don't know the ins and outs of that. Yeah, it's like when we do a show somewhere, we could plug into the Ethernet cable, and boom, we can have a radio station anywhere. Yeah, that just happens.

I don't know the ins and outs of that. Yeah, no, neither. Not necessarily at my house. Yeah, and it's... A little bit poos. And when I say you just plug it in, Jared plugs it in, and he makes it work somehow. He just goes,

can I get you guys to test the microphones? And that's when I step up, and I go, test, test, test, test, test. I'm done. Yeah. Logan, what's your house turned into in level four? G'day, team. How are we doing?

Good, mate, good. How are you doing in level four, firstly? Well, a bit tired. I mean, I'm still in bed. Don't know if that's a good sign. Okay. Eight in the morning. You're allowed to be here.

I mean, if we weren't here, we'd probably be in bed too. True, true. Well, my house has turned into, it's a bit of a be here. I mean, if we weren't here, we'd probably be in bed too. True, true. Well, my house has turned into it's a bit of a jungle here. I've got little siblings, they're bouncing off the walls. And I've got, so I walk into the lounge and then there's a cushion fort. Then I walk into the

kitchen and there's my mum baking up a storm. She's making brownies, all this food. Then I go outside and then there's dogs running everywhere. It's a madhouse. So it's a nursery, a home bakery and a zoo. It doesn't sound that bad. To be fair. Who's mum

baking for? Is she baking for a cafe? No, because cafes aren't open. Or is she baking for everybody there? Oh, wow. God, that sounds great, doesn't it? Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, I'd be out of bed by now if there were cakes, so. Logan sounds that sounds great, doesn't it? Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, I'd be out of bed by now if there were cakes, though. Logan sounds so chill.

That's problematic. Yeah, I think you need to pass on some of these chill vibes to Vaughn, who's struggling this week. I'm with Vaughn. Vaughn, you need to stop muting me on Facebook live stream. Is it Logan? I told you. I said don't let him through.

I said in the chat, is this Logan? And you let him through. You said in the chat, is this Logan? And you let him through. You've slipped up today, Pixels. For those that are following on the live stream, Logan has been pestering Vaughan with questions. No, they weren't silly questions. Vaughan's been muting him. Thanks, Logan.

Enjoy the home baking. Sarah, what's the home office turned into? Good morning. Good morning. You're down. Oh, Jesus. Shush. Mum's busy. They've overtaken. I can't get much done, to be honest.

Right. What is your workplace? Oh, Jesus. Oh, my God. Jeez, Louise. Do you need help? Mummy, there's a lady out. Oh, help? Mummy, there's a lady out. Oh, my. Mummy, there's a lady out. I'm running.

I'm running. Oh, my God, Sarah, are you okay? Sarah? No. Where do we send the wine, Sarah? Where do we send the wine? You tell us. We'll put an online order.

We're in Parvus, the north. Okay. I'm sending the Air Force. We're dispatching an Iroquois. Sally, what's your home turned into during Level 4? Hi, I'm a teacher, so we've turned into a schoolhouse. Oh, how many have you got in your class? I've got 19, and my husband's a teacher too,

and I don't know how many he's got. I think it's got about 26. Wow. And so are you having to Skype in with all the students or Zoom in? Yeah, yeah. So I've got little ones. I've got six-year-olds, so that's quite challenging. So you're doing like, because, yeah, August was six last year.

My daughter was six. And so you do like a meeting a day, right? And it doesn't go on for too long because the kids just like wander off and lose concentration. I'm a little bit more formal because I'm really concerned about, you know, how much schooling my babes have missed. So I actually do Zoom reading and Zoom writing and Zoom maps with my kids.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, so it keeps the reading going, but it makes for a very long day. Yeah, I bet. Oh, well, you're doing amazing work. Sally, thanks. You called some text messages in. I thought we could go to Instagram responses that we've received

regarding what your house has turned into. A vet says, currently in a New Zealand call centre, and then a crying face. I'm imagining she's not having fun. Be nice to a vet. Yeah. And everybody on a call centre, because you know, it's not there. A vet doesn't decide who gets refunds and cancels flights, does she?

Yeah. Law firm. Somebody said that too. Oh, okay. That'd be sexy and serious. No? Would it be? I think it's a lot of reasons.

You're just thinking of suits, aren't you? Yeah. And then one of you ends up marrying Prince Harry. It's turned into a winery, but that sounds more like the drinking end of it. Yeah, yeah. The salad door testing. Bakery test kitchen. Oh, okay.

We've got cakes coming out of every orifice. I know that cakes go in one orifice and come out one other orifice, but I don't know, cake in the ears doesn't settle up the nose. It's not how you have cake. Ours has turned into a wrestling arena. I'm the ref.

So that sounds like a mother dealing with children. Office supplies distributor. Science, accounting, and social media managing center. I'm currently a PGG rights and seed distributor. Oh, okay. So they must be taking orders from farms and distributing it because they're not just talking like a little pack of seeds. That's going to be a lot of seeds.

Fujitsu call centre. Oh, okay. For the heat pumps. That would probably be slammed as well. Yeah, people calling up and being like, what does the sun symbol mean? Do I put that on when I want it to feel like sun or do I put that on when it's sunny outside?

Which one's the heat one? The last time I was in a hotel there was like a winter icon, like an icy Yeah! So I'm like, yeah but then I don't know, but then the sun. Do you put it on when it's cold and wintering? Exactly! Or do you put it on when you want it to feel like winter? One of our heat pumps, the remote literally says

heat, cool, dry, auto and that's my favourite one. The other, heat, cool, dry, auto. And that's my favorite one. The other one's like, sun, ice, drip. You've got a favorite heat pump. I've got a favorite heat pump. Hells yes. It's the one that goes on the remote that you press, heat, 20, go.

But I think it's misleading because it's not the one you think it is. It's if you want it to be hot, you choose sun. And if you want it to be cold, you choose sun. And if you want it to be cold, you choose ice. But it's the other way around for me. You should be pressing the sun in winter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good one, Stephen Fleming. Hang on, I'm just saying I'm just saying here we are talking to Stephen Fleming. Dan Carter's double-ended us here. Maybe he was telling us to buy heat pumps and we bought heat pumps Come on, Dan Carter. I'm just saying here we are talking to Stephen Clements. Dan Carter's double-ended us here. Why is he double-ended? Remember when he was telling us to buy heat pumps? We bought heat pumps, but he didn't ever just...

And now he's working for the chemist's warehouse, so we're putting down our heat pumps, making ourselves cold in our house, catching the winter chill, going to a chemist's warehouse to get a bloody... That's how he's got us. Oh, double-ended Daniel, eh? Got us coming in, got us going out. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Yeah. Today's fact of the day is that elephant sperm must swim close to two metres to reach the egg. 6.6 foot. So if you know someone that's 6 foot 6, who's 6 foot 6? Ross is 6 foot 7. So that would be a long elephant. A slightly longer than normal elephant. But that's six foot six. Yep. Who's six foot six? Ross is six foot seven. Ross Boss. So that would be a long elephant. A slightly longer than normal elephant. But that would be up to his nose.

No, it would be up to his hairline. Okay. His, the elephant swim has to swim a Ross. Oh, I'm not going to be able to look at Ross Boss now without imagining. That's how far it has to go. Yeah, okay. You might think. It's crazy.

It's a very lengthy swim. For comparison, human sperm only has to swim 76 millimeters. So 7.6 centimeters. 7.6 centimeters. Three inches. Wow, okay. That far. Wow.

So maybe longer depending on how long Or shorter Yeah, exactly On average, let's set it all to three inch So three inches, which is a lighter? Half a six inch somewhere A lighter? I would say a lighter, a Bic lighter

A standard Bic lighter, that's how far human sperm has to swim to reach the egg. And elephant sperm has to swim a Ross. Put that side by side. That is insane, yeah. Put that side by side. That's, yeah. That Ross. Yeah, that's insane.

It's a lengthy journey. It's a lengthy journey. Also, elephants can be homosexuals, so. Okay, great. Do with that what you want. I've never seen an elephant at Pride Week. Well, you haven't been looking hard enough. I think Sammy broadened your horizons. Yeah, right.

And actually looked. Okay. Yeah. So today's fact of the day, I just thought, to be honest, I thought that was phenomenal. Yeah. The comparison there. I know they're bigger than us, but they're not that much bigger than us. No.

Like, if you take into account how many lighters would fit into a Ross, I mean, fit next to a Ross, stand next to a Ross, I don't know how many lighters. Do you know comparatively the size of the sperm? That's a very good question that I don't have an answer for. Between human and elephant. Okay. Yeah, I don't. Well, fascinating. Thank you for today's fact of the sperm? That's a very good question that I don't have an answer for. Between human and elephant. Okay. Yeah, I don't.

Well, fascinating. Thank you for today's fact of the day. Today's fact of the day is elephant sperm must swim two metres to reach the egg. In comparison, human sperm,

three inches or 76 millimetres. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Welcome everybody to Friday Face Yoga Namaste to you all Good morning everybody and welcome to this Friday's face yoga class. This is going to be perfect for people.

Does the voice seem worse now that it's teamed up with this handlebar mustache? Yeah, it does. I can't look at you in the face with that mustache. It goes through my brain, that voice. Welcome to the studio. Is there a name for where you do yoga? Studio? Like a yoga studio. Is there a name? For where you do yoga. Studio?

Like a yoga studio. It's a yoga studio. It feels like... Oh, don't do that. Don't do that. In India. In India. Where this originated.

Yeah. They wouldn't have called it a studio. I think they do call it a studio. It's not an Indian word. Okay, well, we can do some research on that. This is the sort of thing producer Jared always, he'll be Googling frantically right now. Look at him.

He's so good and he flicks it through to me. It's called A. And then it makes me sound smarter, but okay, I get out of myself as being a dum-dum. It's time for Friday Face Yoga. Let's start by holding our eyes open, staring at one spot, and pretending that one spot is the television on our wall as we watch Dr. Ashley Bloomfield and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern take to

the podium for the 1pm presser. Eyes on screen. It'll be at 3 o'clock today. Hold them open. Can you feel your eyes getting dry? Burning. Burning, yes. Burn, feel the burn. I want your eyeballs to be dry. And we're all going to blink in

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And if your eyes are watering a little bit, that's called tears. Now, for another thing I think all of us are going to be doing this weekend, this is relaxing. Yeah. I want you to put out your hands in front of you.

Okay. And imagine your favourite treat, your favourite edible treat. Yeah. Okay. And imagine your favourite treat. Your favourite edible treat. Yeah. Okay. Now you're at home, you're in your bedroom. How long are we holding this? Because I've got squiggles and they're going to melt in my hand. Now smash them in your face.

Someone's yelling. Dinner's ready! Be there in a minute. You're ruining your dinner. You won't have ruined your dinner, though. You're a hungry little piggy. This feels great. Who are they to judge you?

Eating and secret and silence and maybe dark. And again, those tears from before are still streaming down the side of you. Is this your sexy voice? I don't know, you tell me. Now it's time for our next exercise in Friday official yoga. I want you to tilt your head back

a little bit more and imagine a swab being inserted up your nostrils. It's going to get in there. And they're twisting. Five, four, three, two. They've gone a bit too far. There, one.

And they've pulled it out. Oh, those tears are back. There's going to be a lot of those. But thanks for doing your part. You've done your part. And you've just stretched your neck. And finally today for Friday Facial Yoga, the first of lockdown, I want you to bury your face into your hands.

Yeah. Maybe rub the face on the way in. Close the face. Close the hands. Close the hands. Close the face and the hands. And scream. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Yesterday, I went for a bike ride for my exercise.

Do you have a bike? No, I've got Fletch's bike. Because Fletch can't ride his bike because of his back. Yeah. And I see what you mean because you lean over. You lean. You do. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I've got a torn disc in my C whatever it is. And yeah, so leaning over and then side to side pedaling just agitates it too much. Yeah. It was weird in my hallway because I have a bike rack in my hallway and that's where it sits. It was weird. Now my hallway looks real wide. Yeah, my hallway and that's where it sits. It was weird. Now my hallway looks real wide. Yeah, it's a wide hallway.

Got a wide hallway. Yeah. It's weird. I remember when we all installed that bike rack. Yeah. So I kind of want my bike back soon because it's kind of aesthetically pleasing as well because it's a nice bike. Well, it was dusty.

I noticed that. I think it's been a while between rides. It has been. But I got on the old bike. God, I had fun. I think it's been a while between rides. It has been. But I got on the old bike. God, I had fun. I knew you'd like cycling. Yeah. Because I know your dad did a bit of cycling, didn't he, growing up?

So it's in the blood. The whole fam, mum got into it as well. Did they have Lycra? Yep. Yeah. Yep. Ian, did he assault anybody at a cafe with his bloody bulge and his cloppy shoes? No, he never went to a cafe.

They wouldn't go to a cafe. No, God, no. That costs money. He goes home and has his cornflakes. Yeah, they rode country roads. Right, and so they'd get home in their Lycra. Yep. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Yep. Shammy's. Shammy in the bottom of the Lycra. Bit of padding there. Yep. And I can feel that today in the, what do we call this area? Your gooch.

The gooch? The saddle? I feel like this is the... Because you wouldn't have, as an adult, you wouldn't have done a long distance bike. How many k's did you go? 30 k's. That's really good. For your first, you're going to be so sore tomorrow. You're going to be, yeah, heck yeah.

I want to, you know, a lot of power in the upper half of the leg. A lot of power, but I'm definitely going to need a padded short. It's the kind of thing that, it's like if you haven't gone swimming distance in a while or running, like the first time you do any of power, but I'm definitely going to need a padded short. It's the kind of thing that it's like if you haven't gone swimming distance in a while or running. Like the first time you do any of those, you feel it for days. Yeah. It was good though.

I really enjoyed it. I think the fresh air, you go up a hill and then the reward is going down the other side. You're such a show off. Why? Because we can't all ride bikes successfully. Oh. Megan famously fell off a bike stationary and broke a leg. I can ride it,

I can't steer it. Megan, yeah, wherever she looks is where she goes. Yeah. And you need to look because then you need to like that tree stump. Don't hit the tree stump. Don't hit the tree stump. And then you hit the tree stump. You hit the tree stump. You think about it too much. It's because you're looking at the tree stump. You look at the path. I can't do it. I can't do it. Yeah, right.

Yeah, we used to ride bikes as kids a lot. Like, we lived 9Ks from when we went to intermediate in college because that was in town. And every now and then we'd ride our bikes, like, there and back. Yep. But then you become, like, a lazy teenager and you just want to get home as quick as you can and just sit in front of the TV and do nothing.

Did you get told off as a kid for doing skids and wearing your tyres? We had three. My brother had blue tyres, I had red tyres, and my sister had black tyres, so my parents knew exactly who had been doing skids. I know, and they did that on purpose too, right? 100%. Yeah, there was no getting away with it.

Like the rubber's coloured. Yeah, it was like a thing back then. I had the coolest BMX as a kid. I wish I still had it. It was a yellow diamond back and it had red tyres and one day I, a few,

you know, the cattle ramps that they load cattle onto trucks? I rode up that and when I got to the top I grabbed the bars but the bike kept going

and when it landed it bent something and it was never the same again. You're like a Red Bull action video. Yeah, except I got to the top and just absolutely

dropped sack. I'm like, nitro, not now. But yeah, it was just absolutely dropped. I'm like, nitro, not now. But yeah, it was great. I think I like it. Yeah, I could see you getting a bike and doing that quite a bit. It's better than running.

Way easier. I got home and my knees weren't like, why? Why did you do this? Maybe I should try it again. Nah, I don't think you should. It's just my butt and my gurch that are like, why? Why did you do this?
