The ZM Podcast Network. Hey! ZM's Fleets, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fleets, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McDelivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2. Um, I just floated using the word dank. No one's saying that. Executive Intern Anu is very, is dank being cancelled or is is that just You just don't think it's cool?

It's definitely not cool It's not cool I can't say that People say dank memes I had a dank weekend Yeah I can see why she was doing that Don't say that Don't say that

A great weekend of eating God Yeah I saw on your Instagram Almighty We ate We didn't put up What we had last night Because we thought it was just too much

So Friday was homemade tacos Yeah Which were We ate We didn't put up What we had last night Because we thought It was just too much So Friday was homemade tacos Yeah Which were How did your taco wraps go? Were they alright? Amazing I've got the recipe for you

A flour tortilla Did you have a penetration? Any penetration? No And because it was Fresh Yeah And

Olive oil They didn't crack Or nothing You could like Really manhandle these tortillas. You could have made burritos. Totally. If you had a big enough pan, because that's the thing,

you've got to put them on a flat pan to cook them. Okay. That went swimmingly. Okay. And then Saturday we had duck fat potatoes and rotisserie cooked lamb chunk. Lamb chunk. I'd never cooked lamb chunk before. It is the lamb equivalent of rump.

Beef rump. Okay. Delicious. Delicious. We did so much eating. Vegans are upset at your Instagram story, I bet. Do you get any of that? I don't think vegans follow Bourne, do they?

Well, certainly not. It's very meat-heavy content. Yeah, it's primarily meat-heavy content. You would have been hidden. Scroll across to see the meat slap. I swear there needs to be a separate...

It needs its own Instagram account. Or a TikTok. Meat slaps. Meat slapper. Yeah, meat slapper. Slap that meat. And then I can take

people's submissions because that's the thing now. People are sending me like jiggly meat slaps. Don't do that. You're asking people to send them slapping their meat. Slapping your meat.

You're going to get it. It's only going to take a week before you get an actual dick It's going to get Yeah at some stage it's going to get confusing What if they're using their dick to slap actual meat Oh my god That's wildly problematic So that was Friday night and Saturday night

You think oh they probably just had a salad or a soup last night No we had that teagle That teagle Takeouts That's ripping off KFC. Yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah, we smashed more of that. And we watched Back to the Future

on Saturday night. I was thinking about Back to the Future the other day. Has that aged well, that trilogy? Brilliantly. Okay. Apart from a couple of little moments. Yeah. My husband has never ever seen it Oh my god Like

I was worried that it was going to be way too much For the kids to comprehend Like Especially So we watched Back to the Future 1 Yeah On Saturday night And they got it

Yeah And then Back to the Future 2 is different Because they go forward And then back And then back again How did their tiny Their tiny child brains handle that? They kind of followed it. And I kept saying, I kept dropping hints, being like, you know when the DeLorean's getting a bit sketchy and he keeps whacking it and the date says 1885?

I'm like, oh, I wonder why it says 1885. And then at the end when it gets, spoiler alert, gets struck by lightning and disappears. And I'm like, wonder where it could have gone. And then he's like, 1885. I was like, yes! We're on, baby. So today we're watching Back to the Future 3. And I'm just so disappointed that there's not more Back to the Futures.

No, but it was, the people have held that up as the perfect trilogy. The perfectly scripted and done trilogy. It is beautiful. And the guy who played Biff At the time I never appreciated it Because he only played the villain But that is a phenomenal actor Yeah

I don't even know if he's been in much stuff since I know he did some work Yeah Through the 80s and 90s And he kind of made a resurgence around 2015 When it was the whole This is the day of Back to the Future date Yeah right

But Didn't old Marty McFly Wasn't he There's something weird about that actor when it was the whole, this is the day of Back to the Future date. Yeah, right. But it's so good. Didn't old Marty McFly, wasn't he, there's something weird about that actor? No, George McFly. George McFly. Crispin Glover refused to be in the sequel. That's right. So they had to use bits that they already got from the first,

or it's him shot from the back and it's not actually him. Yes, that was it. He refused to be part of it because he wanted to be paid as much as, because in the first one he was in it a ton. Yeah. And then in the second one, he wanted to be paid as much as Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. And they were like, we're not doing it. And he was like, well, I'm not going to be in it.

Was Christopher Lloyd the dad in Nobody? Yeah. Yeah. Did you watch in there? I watched it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So good. Yeah.

Christopher Lloyd is so good. Yeah. So massive, massive success. Can't wait to watch the final of the trilogy. I think Back to the Future 3 is the least confusing to follow timeline-wise, but one of the funnest because of the train. Oh, it's just brilliant. Yeah.

Cool, man. You should watch it with your kids, Bastion and Andrew. Bastion, pretty little bit beyond him. I reckon Andrew's ready to watch it, though. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleetspawn and Megan, two minutes past six.

Good morning. Good morning. The last week before Daylight Savings, am I correct? Yes, it's this weekend. Yes. Mm-hmm. Well, we'll be able to have a barbecue with all of our friends. You have a barbecue every weekend?

With all of my friends. Yay! You're right. Your family. Nothing's going to change. Nothing's going to change in the Smith household. Nope. You don't hang out with people anyway.

Nope. Have you met people? They're the absolute worst. They won't stay in their house when the government asks them to. Yeah, big cabinet announcement today. And as you heard Rachel mention, are some cases in the Hodaki Plains. Yeah.

Yeah, I looked up because I read where it was. I was like, I'm not familiar with that place. I looked it up. Yeah, it's like on the other side of the Frith of Thames. Yeah. From Thames. Sorry, Thames. I've mispronounced that.

Down there on the Thrift of Thames. Thrift of Thames. Thrift of Thames. So, yeah, we'll update you with that with I guess that's the developing situation isn't it We'll update you with any information that comes to hand this morning So is it 4 o'clock today where I believe so yeah there'll be a cabinet meeting today Uh huh

Zoomie Oh no because it's level 2 And everyone can be a part of it Yeah Cool Hey guys Yay I've got good news What is it They're part of it. Cool. Hey, guys. Yay. Come on.

I've got good news. What is it? Nine o'clock this morning, we have a huge, a huge concert announcement. And I'm saying huge. Yeah, I'm not saying it's huge and then telling you the feelers are playing at the Corriglin Tavern at New Year's. Are they? I mean, that's great. Don't get me wrong.

They could be. Feelers. They should be. You say. Are they still on stage? Yeah, they still do the odd thing, don't they? Yeah, they still gig. Yeah.

Fish and Felisa, that goes off. Pressure man, I pray. Do you suffer through reality? James, I've got your back, bro. It's not another 660 gig. I've got big news, guys. Nine o'clock this morning, we're going to give away the first pass. This is someone that don't even live in New Zealand.

Like, this is exciting. Oh, tidbit. Yeah, they're outside the bubble. The country bubble. So, 9 o'clock this morning, we'll tell you all the big news. See, top six is coming up. Yep. Do you remember?

Nope. Oh, yeah, the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland at the weekend. We got there, didn't we? Yeah. Top six ways. Let me write it down so I don't forget again. Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland. Some forged leaders at the weekend,

and people even tried to drive across a paddock. I haven't looked up about the paddock. Please tell me they tried to drive through a muddy paddock in a two-wheel drive. So then they just got stuck. And then they had to get rescued, or their car just had to be abandoned. Neat, neat, neat. The top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland the weekend coming up.

Next on the show, there's been some medical misadventure. Megan's going to tell us all about this. She's very excited to tell us about this story. Guys, eh? You've got a penis and you just do silly things with it. All the time. Is this the x-ray you... Yeah, this guy should lose penis rights, really.

It's from an unnamed boy in London. I don't imagine they're going to name him. He's 15 years old and he went to hospital with his parents after he put a USB cable up his penis. One end. Well, so apparently the two ends of it were hanging out and he told the doctors when his mum left the room. So I don't know if he was like, can you leave, mum?

Or whether she went to get a coffee or something. Well, you wouldn't take your mum, would you? Oh, he was 15. Oh, yeah. Can't catch the bloody metro, can you? You can't get on a bus with a USB hanger. Right, so he folded the cord in half And went in And it got knotted

Why? It got knotted So this is the thing When the boy's parent or mum left the room He said that he had inserted the cable To measure the length of his penis You know you can do it from the outside. Yeah, you were allowed to at that point,

as the doctor suggested that maybe a ruler would have been a better option. And like my friend Callum's granddad, Graham, once told us, what is like measuring a cat's tail? You started the butthole. That's adding extra centimeters. The gooch is a part of it. Then started the butthole. That's adding extra centimetres. The gooch isn't part of it. Then you're adding gooch. Christ.

I never thought about how inappropriate it was to be told that by someone's grandad. Holy shit. How old were you when he gave you that pearl of a moment? It was all just silly. I'm pretty sure we were of the age we were drinking at the advantage. Well, that, older teenagers. Right, okay. We were all, it was all just silly. I'm pretty sure we were of the age

we were drinking at that age. Well, that's the thing. If someone asks you, they're not going to do a follow-up check, are they? Yeah.

This isn't seven and a half inches and I'll bust out the tape measure from mum's sewing drawer because, you know, it had to be that one with a bit of pliability. The one from dad's building

kit was no good because that's hard metal. Yeah. Right. One with a bit of pliability. The one from Dad's building kit was no good because that's hard metal. Yeah. Right. It's done. Make things so I can measure it. Okay. Now give that a wipe.

We've got to put that back on myself again. Oh, yuck. Don't you dare touch those scissors. So apparently he made several attempts to remove it himself, but he urinated a large amount of blood, and that's when he told his mum. Yeah. I've owned a penis for nigh on 40 years in February,

and I've never put anything up it. I've never even been. It's not Feb yet. 40 things to do before you're 40 with your penis. Wow. Never in my life. So he is now he's made medical history right because he's

now in a journal. Urology case. Yeah this is how we all know about this. Yeah. Can I read you a part from the journal because it's just so funny the way they write it in medical terms. The two distal ports of the USB wire were found to be protruding from the external

urethra metis while the middle part of the knotted wire remained within the urethra. The knotted cable was revealed in the proximal aspect of the penile urethra and cut from the remainder of the cord, both the ends of the wire were pulled out successfully

through the external urethrometis. Wow. And there's photos as well. Oh, and an X-ray. And you know how like... My watch just told me to breathe. You know it's serious when the Apple Watch is weighing in. Yeah.

You're going to have a heart attack. You're just going to relax. The X-rays are very X-rated too because you can see. You can see a bit of the faces. So great. So now not only does everybody know, but nobody knows who he is. No. But everybody has basically seen an outline of his junk from the X-ray

and the cable that they found. Yeah. You better work it out though. Ask all your mates if you can borrow their USB charging cable and see which one. Like, rides. Rides and flashback pain. Next on the show, a man has turned up in Japan.

A Russian man. Oh, okay. What, he was in a hurry? Well, he didn't have a passport. Well, you said he was Russian. Oh, Jesus. Oh, my God. Did you just do that?

Wow. Jesus. You are absolutely... Shows when he just begun, and it's Monday. How this Russian man got to Japan without a passport. Oh, Christ. Wow. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan.

So, well, a man has turned up in Japan without a passport and it turned out he swam from Japan. How far is that? So he swam from Russia to Japan. How close is that? It's closest but you've got the answer, don't you? So I do have the answer. It is, it took him 23 hours to swim it.

Oh my God. He is a 38-year-old man, and it is 24 kilometers. Now, for a comparison, Cook Straight is 22Ks across the narrowest point. And the record for that, the fastest person to ever do that is Casey Glover, 4 hours 37 in 2008. She's only 22 Ks. Do you know that there are also people that had, there are only two recorded swims of somebody doing the North Island to the South Island to the North Island. So they went there and back. And that was done in, Phillip Rush did that in 1984 according to this website. Cook Straight Swims.

Longswims.com 16 hours, 16 minutes to go there and back and there. Jesus. And then somebody did the South Island to the North Island to the South Island and that took 18 hours. Is there one way that's easier than

the other? That might be a stupid question. I know nothing about ocean swimming. Yeah, I don't know actually. You'd go on the currents. Don't people normally go from the South Island to the North? I don't know. It's just a notorious stretch of water as well, isn't it? Yeah, I know stuff that. No thanks.

And apparently there are also early stories, Maori legends of earlier swims as well. But those aren't on the website because there was no website then. Records weren't being kept. Records weren't kept, but yeah, being done. But this man apparently couldn't get a job in Russia, wasn't happy with Vladimir Putin and the way things were going.

So he's like, screw this, got into a wetsuit and set off at 5 a.m. He took some clothes in a dry bag. He used a compass to navigate. He said 4 o'clock the next day. It was cold. It was dark. But, yeah, he got there. 24 kilometres, 15 miles.

It's a lot of time to just have your legs dangling in deep water. Yeah, a canoe or a small boat. Maybe because you get seen easily. I don't know, some dude flailing around dragging a dry bag is probably going to get a little bit of attention of you if a kayak was going to. It's just been the Olympics. Kayaks are a dime a does.

Yeah. Just hone in and they're like, who are you? the Olympics. Kayaks are a dime a does. Yeah. Just hone in and they're like, who are you? So I'm Lisa Carrington, I'm lost. Yeah. But this is where I left from. And then they'll give you the job. Yeah, he said he was scared of the killer whales.

And the rest? And I thought of my mother and how I might never see her again. Yeah, you're seeking asylum in a different country. You're either getting sent back there or no, you're never seeing her again. I'd be at his Apple Watch on, like count the calories at least. Oh my God, yeah. Oh yeah. Record your swim. Yeah.

Good, you'd be gutted if your battery ran out before you got there. So you could close it off. Well, they count the lengths of the pool when I go swimming. That's because you are selecting indoor swim. Yeah, but if I did outdoor, it would just keep going, wouldn't it? I assume so. Oh, it'd be great to get the stats, wouldn't it? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Because that's the other thing, yeah, it took him nearly a day. Did he stop and float and have a snack from his draw bag? I think so. Check the compass. We wouldn't have needed that with the Apple Watch. Turn left at the rock ahead. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Megan.

The dirtiest part of your bathroom. This was a study that was done by a heating specialist in the UK. Okay. And it's not the toilet. Although I probably wouldn't have guessed the toilet because it gets cleaned the most out of everything in your bathroom. Yeah, but still it's the centre of all the poopies. It is not the dirtiest. In fact, only 20%, actually only 10% of toilets

were found to be in the really dirty category. So they used swabs. I was going to say, so they went through and swabbed all these bathrooms. Swabbed everything. And it was colour changing swabs to measure bacteria levels. So they either went dark purple, which was really dirty, light purple, which is dirty, or green, which is pretty clean. Okay.

And so... Well, I have a question. Did the people say, hey, we're going to come around and test your bathroom? So they had a chance to clean it? Yeah, yeah. Because I would. I would. It doesn't say.

But the shower heads and tap where the water comes out. What are they called? Faucets. The faucet thing. Faucets. Faucets. Are one of the cleanest places in the bathroom. Because there's always water coming out.

Yeah. And quite often hot water. Yeah. The toilet, yeah, only 10% is really dirty. That's good because sometimes I'll go mouth to faucet in the middle of the night. For a drink of water? Yeah, if I empty my water bottle. Oh, right.

If it's empty. Or like your mouth accidentally touches it and I always think, oh God, is it dirty? Yeah, right. 20% of toilets actually finished in the green. So it's clean. Yeah, right. But the dirtiest place in your bathroom is your towel rack, especially a heated towel rail.

Because obviously your towel has got microorganisms on it and bacteria. Yeah. And it's moist. Yeah. And then it's hanging up. And especially if you've got a heated towel rail, then it's warm and it's like a little incubator I don't think I would ever

Like spray and wipe that And that's the other thing it says Is that no one ever cleans it Because your towel's always on it When you clean the bathroom So you're just like well the towel just So whenever you replace your towel You need to give it a good wipe

That is so grim I didn't even think about that. You're showering, right, to clean yourself. Yeah. And then you get out and then like. Yeah. You put your towel on you that might have joomies on it. So like.

Oh, no. Do we then need to clean our towel every single time? Fresh towel every single time. And then if you're one of these people that leave your towel rails on, because I don't, it's cooking the bacteria, isn't it? Yeah, it's giving them the heat. I've got a power-saving one, so I do leave it on. But now this has grossed me out enough that that's not happening anymore.

I always walk past and kick it off. Oh, right. The heated towel rail. Is it a pass-ag battle that's just constantly... I actually flicks it on, I kick it off. I mean, she flicks it on every time she's had a shower and hangs it back up. Right.

Yeah, but they seem like a real 80s move, the old heated towel rail, eh? It just heats like one bit of the towel and then the rest is still cold and young. It's multiple bars. It heats all the way down. You've got to hang it right. Oh, that's the other thing.

When they go over there, when someone puts a towel up over the top rail but then runs both sides of the towel down the front. Oh, yeah, no, don't do that. You've got to make the extra effort of getting your hand in there and stuffing the towel right down the back. Yeah. So it sits between the wall and the towel rail and the, yeah.

Yeah, but that was a dark purple, so just clean it. It's a dark purple. Clean your towel rail. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Just as we look outside the studio window and say, bloody hell, look at that, how light it is. Blue sky. Yeah.

Looks like midday. Daylight savings this weekend. Clocks go forward an hour. Spring forward. Brings us nicely to the tourist town of Teano, which has made a big decision. Okay. Going forth,

this will be the last time it changes its clocks for daylight savings. It's going in, and it's never coming out. It's going into the DSL, and it's never coming out. It can't do this. So, yeah. Wait, so they're going to have a different time to everyone else

in New Zealand? It's a tourist, it's a gimmick. It's a gimmick. And I totally get it. It's a hard time for places in New Zealand, especially places that really, not exploit, that sounds bad, really rely on New Zealand's natural beauty. Your Milfords, your Queen Charlottes, your other sounds, Fiordland. Yeah. I said Milford, didn't I? Yeah, you did. Your Queen Charlotte's Your Other sounds The Ordland Yeah

I said Milford didn't I Yeah you did I meant Milford Sound too Not the suburb of Auckland No one's going there for a look No I'll spoiler alert Old people

Yeah lots of old people But they're saying Yeah in the winter months We need more light At the end of the day Right To see the Would that work?

Daylight savings is such a confusing thing to wrap your head around. So in autumn, you fall back. So the clocks go back. So six o'clock becomes five o'clock. Yeah, so they want that extra bit of time. They want the extra hour for over the winter period where the sun goes down earlier. Yeah.

They want it there so that people can continue to explore. So maybe they'll just make an agreement with the shops and everything. The shops stay open. where the sun goes down earlier. Yeah. They want it there so that people can continue to explore. So maybe they'll just make an agreement with the shops and everything. The shops stay open. Or just fly and drive people in an hour earlier. Why don't we all do that? Because we don't need light in the morning. It was for the farmers, right?

Oh, okay. But then they've got torches and stuff now, so they're all good. This was back in the days of like oil lamps and stuff. You should see this torch my dad's got. It's a handheld torch. I want one. Yeah. I always forget because mum's always like, what do you want for your birthday? A torch.

You're going to ask for a torch. Yep. Oh, my God. You should see it, though. He can stand on the back deck and he can light up the gum trees, which are like. It's like a floodlight. It's insane. And he'll be like, oh, yeah. And you can just see it, though. He can stand on the back deck and he can light up the gum trees, which are like... It's like a floodlight. It's insane. And he'll be like, oh, yeah,

and you can just see these two reflecting. He's like, there's a possum down there, and it's like 300 metres away. Oh, wow. It's insane. You should definitely get one of those. Yeah, see? It sounds like a bajillion candles.

You know how they still judge the power of a torch by a candle? Oh, yeah. That wouldn't be annoying for your neighbours at all, that torch. Click. It'd be like a spotlight going up. Yeah, like someone escaping a prisoner by a candle. Oh, yeah. That wouldn't be annoying for your neighbours at all, that torch. Click. It'd be like a spotlight going up. Yeah, like someone escaping a prisoner of war camp. Yeah, yeah. And they'll wind the siren.

No, because we've still got one of those volunteer fire services, so they'll assume it's that. Everyone will be down the local station. What's the emergency? Nothing. Sold Spotlight Smith. Yeah, right.'ll assume it's that. Everyone will be down the local station. What's the emergency? Nothing. Sold Spotlight Smith. Yeah, right. Lining it up. So they're just saying that, back to Tiano, they're saying that they don't want to go back.

Right. They want to have that extra hour at the end of the day in winter for tourism. I'm kind of with them. I'm bored. Can I just not wind my plot back? Me neither. But just go earlier. We're not doing this different time zone thing. Oh, stop being a grump.

They're trying to do something to get everyone talking about getting down there for a look. Yeah. Now, if they could just take care of those sandflies, because that's all I've heard. That's everybody's only gripe about that area of New Zealand. Sandflies. Sandflies the size of helicopters. about that area of New Zealand. Sandflies. Sandflies the size of helicopters. Now, that might be a slut exaggeration. It sounds like it.

That sounds very dangerous. Take your torch. That'll get them. Oh, God, no. It'll attract them more. It'll attract them more. From the smoggy ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there.

Well, at the weekend and the, I think the 74th weekend in Level 4 for Auckland. Aucklanders tried in their droves to leave Level 4. Oh, I want to know who the high profile Aucklander is. Me too. I've asked some people. Oh, have you? I wouldn't say it on the radio. No.

I'd tell you. Because it was a couple, just a couple that went to Wellington. They were caught. Those were the... No. The entrepreneur and his assistant, they got the all cleared, didn't they? No, yeah, it wasn't them. It wasn't them.

It was another couple of people. But somebody else went to Wellington. Yep. Somebody was caught driving through a field. A paddock. Somebody managed to get through the checkpoint, but all they had was a letter that they intended to send to Chloe Swarbrick. And apparently people have been forging letters.

Like, how do you for... Like, the police being handed all these letters, and then you type out one you think would look like a letter. It's going to stand out, right? We've all come so far for you guys to stuff it up at the end. You dumb, dumb delta brains. So, yeah, it was a hell of a weekend for Aucklanders breaching. Yeah. Trying to escape level four.

So I've got the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape that didn't make the headlines Okay Number six On a big red rocket Labelled Acme Co They didn't get out of Auckland And they didn't catch the roadrunner either

They ploughed into a cliff Oh no And then they stood up And they went And walked away like a piano accordion Back to the drawing board. Number five on the list of the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland at the weekend.

Hot air balloon. Oh. Almost made it too, but the wind changed. Oh, no. And then they got blown into some power lines. Yeah, right. And then they went... Like danced around and everyone could see their skeletons.

Number four on the list of the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland at the weekend. They tried to jump a huge barbed wire fence on a Triumph TR6 trophy motorbike.

Oh, that's, yeah. A la Steve McQueen and The Great Escape. A classic movie. A classic movie, but they didn't. They didn't make it over the fence.

Unbelievable. Number three on the list Of the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland at the weekend Tunnels And you can see How this went badly Yep

They dug straight Into an efflemon pond Oh no Yeah It was a bit of A shit tunnel Yeah See what you did there

Yep Good Number two on the list Of the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland at the weekend inside a huge wooden horse. They said it was a gift

for Northland. Oh yeah. It was full of Aucklanders. But Northland were like, we don't want your shitty horse. And so it just got left there. Oh no. And they didn't like

think about that and now it's just sat on the side of the road and they're all still in it. Oh no. Because they didn't put the handle on the inside. And now it's just sat on the side of the road and they're all still in it. Oh, no. Because they didn't put the handle on the inside. So much at risk, though. Nah, they're right.

Leave me. They've quarantined themselves in a way. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six ways Aucklanders tried to escape Auckland at the weekend, they baked themselves into a giant cake. Oh, yeah? Yeah. They died because you have to bake a cake at, like, 180 degrees. Oh, yeah. Yeah, cook them. Yeah. They're dead now. Don't eat that giant cake. Oh yeah? Yeah. They died because you have to bake a cake at like 180 degrees.

Yeah, cook them. They're dead now. Don't eat that giant cake. Have you seen that big cake on the Bombays? Don't eat it. Don't eat that. That is today's top six. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. I legit am not even sure how many weeks it's been.

Auckland is still in level four and because we can't go out and do anything, it's broken a habit of mine somewhat. So I would always get my nails done. Always. When was the last time you saw me with short nails?

Oh my god! Your hand looks totally different. My hand looks short. Short. Yeah, it does. Little stuffy thingy. When did you play indoor netball? Oh, like ages ago. That was like 10 years ago.

I don't like indoor netball because I'm an outdoor netball girl. I played that for like 12 years. You're a purist. And I don't like the difference. You don't like how vicious. It's too fast. People just flick it. And I'm like, no, you're ruining the basics of the game. Yeah. It's not my game. Also, you don't like how vicious. It's too fast. People just flick it. And I'm like, no, you're ruining the basics of the game.

Yeah. It's not my jam. Also, you don't like how mongrel they are at indoor netball. Yeah, totally. I'm like, ah, contact. Yeah. They were stepping. Well, it's fully a Matty McClines, isn't it?

Oh, my God. Have you played with Matty? No, I wouldn't play. I'm not interested in any competitive element of anything with him. He's very uncompetitive. I'm so competitive, but he leaves me for dust. I would, I'd always remember playing indoor cricket next to people playing

indoor netball. And I thought indoor cricket would be, you know, because the ball goes quite fast. Yeah. But man, no way. Netball's way more scarier. Yeah. Yeah. It's not for me. It is vicious. I would have had my nails, maybe two years.

Even when I had them done before I had my baby so that they would last long enough for me to then go again. So I went five weeks and they grew out heaps, but I still managed to keep them on. That's the weirdest thing. I had never thought about it, but when you don't get them done, the nails underneath keep growing, so it just pushes the fake nail. Excuse me? Oh, your nails.

They weren't fake. Oh, I thought you had the sticky on nails. Ah, piss off. No. Oh, you were tired. Oh, okay. So I can see why you were super proud. So why not just do them at home?

You've got rid of them. No, because they've got powder on them that keeps them hard. So when they don't have that on, they just break off. So it's grown out and broken off. And so I just had to take them off. Because it's been, I don't know. We weren't given warning before we went into lockdown. Babes, these brittle nails could be taken care of with a collagen powder.

You just mix it into your breakfast cereal. But it's amazing when I took them off, I haven't felt the tips of my fingers for years. Meg was talking about how sensitive the tips of her fingers were when she was typing. She was getting sore fingers. My fingers have just stopped

being sore. How did you type before you had nails? Did you never hear it? When she was tapping, she sounded like a really aggressive travel agent. And now my fingertips touch things. Wow. It's wild.

But it's broken a habit for me. And I can like, my nails now are quite sharp and it's quite nice to scratch things. What could you not scratch before in fear of breaking? No, they're just a bit thicker. So they're not as scratchy. Oh. What could you not scratch before in fear of breaking? No, they're just a bit thicker. They're not as scratchy. Right. So I'm kind of enjoying it. So do you think when lockdown's lifted

in eight years or whenever it is, that you'll go back to... Maybe. Or, I don't know. For summer, it's always annoying going to the beach for strong nails because then like sand and stuff gets up your nails. I'm going to the beach. But we'll see.

It might have broken the habit for me. This is the first step. Next week she's coming in to work with a mum bob. A mum bob. A mum bob. A mum bob. A mum bob. And track pants.

I dare not cut my hair because you two will be on there. Mum bob. Get a mum bob. It's not happening. Come on, dog. Get a mum bob. It's not happening. Come on, dog. Get a mum bob. But I was wondering, because it's been such a long time,

especially for Aucklanders, is there something that COVID has broken the habit for you? Yeah, and if you're not in Auckland, any of the lockdowns that we've had, did it break a habit for you? I'm not drinking. Ha ha ha! Couldn't even finish it.

I had this habit where I'd go to the gym most days. I'm not doing that. Nah, neither. So that's broken that. Do you know what I found I've replaced that with? What, eating? You were going to grit, right? Yeah.

I've replaced that with chip, which is where you sit down with a bag of chips, and for 60 minutes, let's face it, we never last that long. But you eat a whole bag of chips. As many chips as you can. Yep. Your heart rate gets up too,

but it's a completely different sort of heart rate. It's like your heart's screaming for help. Oh, we've got some real first world problems going on in studio. Megan can feel the end of her fingers. I've cut all my nails off because they've grown out and I can't get my nails done. It's been years. And it is lockdown has broken this habit for you.

You might not go back to doing your nails. Yeah, I can. And it is, lockdown has broken this habit for you. You might not go back to doing your nails. Yeah, I can actually scratch my head and stuff. It's quite nice. So, we want to know if it's broke a habit for you. And it is Ali's message that Fletch and Ali sharing

the situation. Good morning, Ali. Morning, guys. What habit did lockdown break for you? So I stopped using lip balm after well over 15 years of using it. Oh, wow. And how are your lips going? They took a good one, two weeks to, you know, come right.

Now I'm not worried about it at all. Oh, God, I've nearly run out of my favourite right. Now I'm not worried about it at all. Oh, God, I've nearly run out of my favourite lip balm and I'm not happy about it. Because I was like, oh, you can definitely get some sent to you. There's like, you know, places that... No, because I get it from a shop and they're not open. What do you get from a shop? You get a fancy lip balm.

It's the only one that, like, I like. I've heard you say there's about five different lip balms. Dr. Lucas, poor, poor. He's the only man that understands my lips. On to the next one. On to the next one. What are you on to now? ASAP. ASAP.

ASAP. What have I done with Ellie's... So now you never went back? You're good? Yeah. You broke the habit? I broke the habit, yeah. What lip balm were you using?

The light blue Nivea, and it did definitely have to be the light blue one. It has sunscreen in it, didn't it? It's a very good one. Yes, it did. Yeah, so it was just for summer. Okay, all right. Ellie, thanks, you're cool.

Sherry, what was the habit that lockdown broke for you? I've stopped drinking energy drinks. Oh, that's good. How many were you drinking? Hey, don't clap your hands too hard there, mate. We might have an energy drink promotion coming up on the show in a few weeks. Don't want to rile up any potential advertisers. I'll just add some balance if I may.

I love energy drinks. Okay. Was this quite a problem for you though? Yeah. So last year I was drinking maybe like two or three a day. Oh, wow. Okay. Holy shit.

So I gradually like got it down to less than that, or like the smaller cans rather than those big bottles. Yeah. But yeah, I think this thing was, for me, was going to the supermarket and then, it's very confronting when you have to buy like a week's worth of energy drinks. Oh, wow. In your one shop

yeah i can't do that anymore yeah you've got a whole trolley load yeah uh well good on you sheree uh thanks you you're called denise uh what what's habit has lockdown changed for you um so i've stopped using shampoo oh okay some people's immediate reaction would be, that's a bit grubby. Yes. But not you. First of all, what made you think, I'm going to stop using shampoo? Well, I just didn't have to do my hair to go out to work anymore, so nobody's going to see it if it goes a bit greasy for a few days.

Right. Actually, that only lasted for a few days. Yeah. And then it was like, oh, my God, my hair's feeling so good without shampoo. And so, yeah, I didn't go back. Wow. Okay. And then do you just wet it though?

You don't, you still clean it in the shower? I act like I've got shampoo in my hands. Right. I still give it a good wash. Yeah. But, yeah. And that's all you need. I've got heaps of comments about how good my hair is looking since I haven't been using shampoo.

And people are like, what are you using? And you're like, do you tell them? Yeah, water. Water, wow. I might try it. You do have a few days where it looks pretty rank. I'm only going to see these two. You've got to do it on a long weekend.

Yeah, do a long weekend. You should say, when someone asks what you're using, you should say dihydrogen monoxide. What is that? That's water. That's water's chemical name. Oh, okay. I don't know about that, Denise.

That sounds like very bad chemicals. It saves a lot of money. I bet it does. Well, you don't need the conditioner as well, do you? No. Or the shampoo. Denise, brilliant. Thanks for your message, your call.

Some messages in. Somebody said, I've given up alcohol, smokes, and energy drinks. Oh, wow. It just happened to coincide that lockdown was about the same time I found out I was pregnant. So that sure helped. Yeah. Someone said I developed a rather expensive massage parlour habit.

Goodness, okay. But of course they're shut in level four. Not therapeutic massage. No, not a head and shoulders. Not a cubicle at the mall with a thin curtain. Not, um... Behave yourself.

Fannies. Jesus. Did you just hear me? Fans Did you hear me? Or is it fans? I just Vaughn I just

Is it fans massage? Yeah it is Why did I think it was fennies massage? Stop Is that also a chain? Is that like the gym's mowing? I think it's a chain of massage places. That's like the gym's mowing of massage places, right?

Yeah, it is. Okay, so it is fans' massage. Would you like to now officially apologise to fans? I would. Yeah, I for some reason thought you were Fanny's massage. So, again, I'll apologise. Pull that right back and reissue that I've never been. No.

But I've heard great things. Okay. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Play ZM. Now, I've never really understood the social media. You hear about social media and how it makes people insecure. Inadequate. Inadequate, and they compare themselves.

They're like, well, I'm the same age as Kylie Jenner, and I don't have a billion-dollar makeup empire. What? What's going on? What's wrong with me? And then it rattles around in their head, and it causes them insecurity, and I've never really understood it.

Or you get pregnant at the same time as Emily ratted to Kelsey. I never brought it up, but that was... And you're like, did she even have a baby? Oh, yeah, that's something. Of all the time. Wasn't it like three weeks later she did like a... Yeah. Her swimwear did like

a fashion thing and she came out of the end. Do you know about that photo shoot, do you? No, no, it was a runway situation. I heard. Oh, yeah, right. Through the grapevine. Yeah. Well, I never understood it. Yep.

Because I don't think there's any point in comparing yourself to other people because you'll always fall short and they're probably comparing themselves to you for something as well that you do better than them. This is a problem with Instagram. We always look at people

and think, you know, their life's perfect. The human condition. Yeah. Well, I never understood it until at the weekend when a friend messaged saying, I think you really like this Facebook group, New Zealand Lawn Addicts.

And I was like, well, this looks all right. And it's one of those ones that you join and you've got to answer a couple of questions. I just don't want any time to hate the hour of joining a group. What are the questions of a lawn group? It was like, do you like lawn? What's a lawn made up of? What colour is lawn? Square metre inch of your lawn so you've got enough, not just a berm.

Size coins. Yeah. Classic size coin over here. No, not that at all. It was just, yeah, a couple of questions about lawns. Okay. The minute I joined, I immediately regret joining because I feel like my lawn, I'm feeling insecure about my

lawn now. Are these all people with like immaculate, amazing like Eden Park style lawn? This guy's lawn. Oh wow. You said berm. He's taking care of the berm. That's council property. They could come and dig that up and put a fibre cable through that without even

having to ask you and then imagine the heartbreak you've experienced. Or like a roadside lawn. That's goddamn beautiful. That's beautiful. You'd scream at kids if they drove over that after a shower or ran on their beer mixes. You'd drive past and slow down. Oh, yeah, word.

You'd get it. Oh. And then you'd say to the kids, we're taking the long way to school. We're not going past that lawn again, are we, Dad? We sure are. So is it just full of old mates that look after their lawn? Some old mates. Are there females in there? Yeah, there was because somebody mentioned that someone's lawn was so good their neighbours

must hate them. And then the neighbour was like, we actually really like them. And that was the lady from next door. Okay. She's in on it. And it shares like lawn videos. Like this guy, he's like this internationally renowned lawn scaper. And he like mows patterns and stuff into his lawn. And his daughter videoed him and started putting him on TikTok. And now he's like this big deal on TikTok. If that's on your FYP. Yeah.

I learned TikTok froze. Okay. The For You page. That is an amazing lawn. I know. But now you feel terrible. Well, you know, if you're feeling bad, just leave the group. But these people have got like hobby lawns. You've got like a paddock.

Yeah, I haven't seen any lawns as big. Don't compare it. And they've got those rototilla mowers. The old mowers. my nan had one of those always thought it was an old fashioned but she likes them nan's got a good lawn

actually she's got a few flat weed broadleaf in there yeah right she can come right okay well you're feeling inadequate today

yeah so I might leave it actually you've got a good point my lawn's fine my lawn's fine the way it is. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. We are joined on the phone by Dr. Nicky Turner,

Director of the Immunisational Advisory Centre at the University of Auckland. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. You sound very happy for the amount of anti-vaxxers on Facebook. It's a protective mechanism. That must frustrate the hell out of you.

You know what's frustrating the hell out of me, I think, is we're a bit of an echo chamber. And because we're in the middle of such a big vaccination program, people are getting obsessed with vaccines. And then there's this little echo chamber that's rushing out on social media, creating a whole lot of panic in everybody. And the more everybody talks about it, the more panic it generates. So what's the main thing in this echo chamber that you hear that really drives you crazy? Well, I think it's people having a fear and then going out there and deciding there's some reason behind the basis of their fear.

So the moment you mention a fear, you think, oh, my God, maybe there is a problem. Maybe the health authorities have got it wrong. Maybe the world has got it wrong. Maybe there is no virus. Maybe vaccines don't work. And then where there's smoke, there's fire. And that's really hard because then you don't want to perpetuate it, but you want to say, look, every country in the world is using a vaccination program at the moment, with the possible exception of North Korea.

And, you know, we don't really want to go down that track. You know, have we really got the bulk of our science so wrong that the virus doesn't exist? It's killing people with vaccines. You know, there's lots we don't know, but there is a real basis that we do know. Is it sad the under 40 vax numbers? Because they're quite low, aren't they? The under 40 vax numbers, yeah, it's an international problem. I mean, one of the problems is young people don't necessarily have such a drive to be vaccinated

because they don't always see themselves at such high risk. Because, you know, it is much, much higher risk if you're older. So a younger person often sees themselves at not such high risk. Now, because everybody in New Zealand at some stage is going to get exposed to COVID, that's a lot of us. So younger people are at risk just on a numbers game. And I don't think people realise that, that we've been living in a lovely little bubble where we haven't seen that much COVID. Sorry, folks, it's not going to last. You know, once we start opening our borders, we're going to see Delta coming into New Zealand. So, you know, the best protection we can offer all ourselves at the moment is to get some immunity

to vaccination. I'd rather have that than immunity to surviving the virus, which is your only other option. What would you say to someone that has a friend that is down a misinformation rabbit hole and has that fear and is spouting off this misinformation? What would you say to get through to them? Yeah. So firstly, I would say you don't have to argue the finer points of the issue they've come up with. But, you know, on our own website at the University of Auckland, there's really clear answers to the common myths. So just point people in the direction of right science. Don't have a fight issue by issue because usually people's fears are bigger than that. Their fears about trust, whether the science has got it right, whether there's corruption,

whether the international authorities are right or not. I'd start from the bigger picture and go, science is not always perfect. Let's acknowledge those mistakes. But overall, every country in the world, except North Korea maybe, is supporting a vaccination program to protect their people. How we do it, you know, how the program looks, it's different country to country. Countries make mistakes in how they do it.

But overall, the reason behind it, that's it. Then after that, if you've got specific issues, you know, go to the right reputable sites. We know there's a big echo chamber out there repeating this over and over again, you know, and people are getting scared. They think people are dying. They think there's a cover-up.

You're going, you know, why would we cover up deaths and dying? You're going to get in trouble doing that. You know, this is, internationally, this is the best option we've got for this virus. What about a few people I posted last week encouraging people to get vaccinated? And I was, like, really pleased with the response. Like I told these guys, over, like, 99% of the people replied saying,

I'm booked in, or great to know I can just roll in and get a vaccine, and I'm getting my first one done, and I'm going to get my second one done. But the odd person said, well, if you're vaccinated, why do you care? Because you're only you know, you're protecting yourself. Yeah. Well, I mean, my my main answer to that was I kind of care about the fact that people who need health care are going to be deprived of it because our health system is going to be clogged. That's true. I care as a frontline GP. I'm going to see a lot of sick people.

Look, the main answer is vaccines aren't just about me as an individual. Vaccines are about my great aunt. Vaccines are about me protecting people around me as well. So, you know, the vaccine is definitely, I'm not so young, you know, I'll get some individual protection that's really useful. I don't want to end up sick personally, but vaccines are also about us. And that's a hard one to sell because, you know, I am worried about my elderly parents. You know, I am worried about members of my whānau that have got medical problems, you know, diabetes and other, you know, severe asthma. So, you know, I will help reduce the spread of the virus to them. It's not complete.

It can't be absolute, but it will help. So this is helping each other. It really is. Is there a way, and I don't want you to get too technical or go down too deep because I won't understand. What is the COVID vaccine? Are you being injected with COVID? Is there a simple way to explain it?

Well, I try. So you are not being injected with the virus. You're not even being injected with any part of the virus for the vaccine we're using in New Zealand. The Pfizer vaccine has no piece of the virus in it. It has a piece of genetic material that the body looks at and it's a genetic code for the spike on the outside of the virus. So then the body makes the protein.

So the body makes the protein itself and then our own immune system responds to that protein, creates our own immunity. Now, that's what your immune system does. It creates its own immunity. Some people's work better than others. So that's why, you know, not everybody acts the same. It's about how my immune system responds to that protein

that I have made. The piece of genetic material that the vaccine's got in it, for everyone to know, is not DNA. So it cannot alter who I am. It cannot get into my genetic material. It's a piece of RNA for anyone that can remember their science. So no virus, no living virus, no piece of virus. It goes in there. It doesn't last very long at all.

And it's really about how the individual body responds to the protein it makes. So that's why everybody's got different reactions. You know, I felt fine, but Fran felt a little headachy afterwards. That's the body's response. Yeah, that's right. When somebody says, well, why doesn't everybody respond brilliantly? It's because each of us has got a different immune system. And, you know, we all know there's lots of good,

healthy messages as well about helping my immune system respond really well. So you know how some people act differently to colds and flus than others. A whole lot of reasons why our immune systems respond. So it is very much about the individual immune system response to the protein. Wait, so man flu's a thing is what I'm hearing.

No. You've just... Wait a minute, I need that audio I need that audio, send it to my wife Send it to my wife, a doctor said so! Also, I'm gonna put that one in the bank, you can't deny it, we've got the audio, and another one

is like a mate of mine who reacted badly and felt terrible after his first one, who's got the better immune system? Me, who felt no side effects, or him that felt a bit rubbishy afterwards? Yeah, look, you've both got decent immune systems, I suspect. It's just that each of you responds in a different way.

That's why we're individuals. How come you've got different eye colour, different sizes, different shapes? We all act a bit differently. Yeah, but whose is better? This isn't like, for the radio, you're straight up settling a debate. I'll tell you one thing, though. The younger one of you in the room wins on this argument, usually.

Yay! Damn it. Damn it. And I'm not going to tell you how old I am. Dr. Nikki Turner, thank you so much for your time this morning and answering our questions. My pleasure. Kia ora.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Season three of Sex Education is on Netflix on 4EPSD. I saw a review online and they were like, oh, season three, it's a bit meh. And then everyone was jumping in the comments saying it was great. What are you on about? It's had a bit of a zhuzh because there's a new principal, Jemima Kirk from Girls, is the new principal of the school.

I might watch this tonight then. It's good. But to celebrate, Netflix did a huge survey, a sex survey. This was done with Australians. Dirty buggers, aren't they? First of all, they asked how they rate their own performance in the bedroom. Okay. One in ten Aussies think they're great.

A third rate themselves as good and millennials have apparently the highest opinion of themselves. 59% said they are great or good. It's an Aussie thing, though, to say you're great at everything though, isn't it? Yeah, it really is. Was sufficient one of their options? Would that be good or participated? Not as good as good, but

participated. I was there. Yeah, I turned up. I turned up. I was there. I believe it was a sufficient outcome for all. Surprisingly, women rate themselves better than men do. Well, that's, yeah, that doesn themselves better than men do. Well, that's, yeah,

that doesn't surprise me because men, yeah, men just enjoy it regardless. Yeah. Woman, there's a bit more

to it. Yeah. Then they asked how often, especially during lockdown and I can tell you that 54% of Aussies said once a month in lockdown is fair.

Okay. Now, there's one ditty that I found very interesting. They asked, who is turning you on? 59% of people said their colleagues, someone they work with. Oh, God. Hey, you. I want to ask. I don't want anybody feeling uncomfortable,

but I'll assume it's you. But you'll obviously assume that it's you. Don't you spew, please. That's very rude. Yeah. Right. 59% of people, though,

obviously work with a hottie or something. 27% of people are into celebs and 21% are into celebs and 21 are into influences that's who turns them on oh yuck there's nothing less erotic than being offered a my food bag discount code by a hot person immediately makes you go dulls the hotness yeah it dulls it all right that Yeah. It dulls it. All right. That's why.

Okay. Work, work mates. Interesting. You wouldn't even admit that though, because that's a one-way trip to HR. Yeah. I've got one in mind. See you later. Get out of here, creep.

Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. There was a lot of chat about sex education, the TV show on Netflix today, but season three's out. Gillian Anderson's in it again, right? Oh, she's so great. Good. So great. Okay, that was sounding very creepy.

Yeah, it did sound creepy. Sorry. She's great. There's a new cast member in this season too. It is a goat. And I brought this up with you this morning, Bourne,

because Amy, who is best friends with Maeve, if you know the show, you'll know who I'm talking about, has got a goat as a commitment pet with her boyfriend. And I said that's not a thing and it

shouldn't be a thing and I hope people don't do that thing. It annoys me no end when people are in a relatively new relationship and they get a pet together. Let's show our commitment by getting a pet. You don't even like it when people that have in a relatively new relationship and they get a pet together. You don't even... Let's show our commitment by getting a pet. You don't even like it when people that have been

in long relationships want to get a pet like a dog. Well, that's more of a living situation. Right. There's a whole lot to getting pets. Yeah. It's a big commitment. It's a big commitment.

It's a lifelong commitment for the life of the pet. You've got to be committed to these animals. So that's my major problem with it. People rush into getting a dog. Dogs especially.

Because a cat, if you break up, a cat will happily go with one of you. Yeah. A cat's just like, look, as long as I'm getting fed,

I don't care. The dog is definitely going to miss the other one. But a dog's going to miss somebody or you're going to miss the dog.

That's why people have to do shared custody of the dog. Yeah, it's confusing for dogs. I mean, that's something that happens. But, yeah, when people rush into getting a pet early in the relationship, I'm like, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

Did you get a dog before you were married? Yep. Yeah, okay. It's all right. But we've been together for ages. Yeah. When we got the dog, we'd been together for ages. And I would have totally walked away from it.

I would have been like, I don't want it. You have it. That's fine. We don't need to do shed custody Did you get the dog before or after you said the L word? After After, okay That took me a long time

I don't rush into anything basically You've got to be sure, don't you? You've got to be sure I've never said it before So I didn't want to say it on a whimsy Yeah So then it was safe to get the dog. Yeah, so then it was safe to move to the next stage.

But I think we, yeah, we bought a house together before we owned a car together. So I don't know. Yeah. It's all la la. Car, I hate buying cars. Freaks me out. And imagine having it shared with someone. The thought of it gives me a little bit of anxiety.

We know someone who got a dog, and you actually said when that happened. I said it was too early. It was too early in the relationship. I said, this is absolutely ridiculous. This looks like a photo opportunity. That's all this is. This has not been thought through. This was too soon.

And, yeah, the old smithy was right, wasn't he? That dog got rehomed. But it's a lovely home now Always was But like Happy Everyone's happy Yeah

That's a life That you're playing with there Yeah But retrospectively We want to know What you think you did Too early on in the relationship Whether it was get a pet

Whether it was buy a house Or a friend Like it's easier to Talk about your friends Because no one's going to Call up about their F relationship, are they? Well, it doesn't have to be failed. It could just be now looking back.

You've had a chat and you've been like, oh, that was quick. We jumped into that quick. Yeah. We asked on Instagram. There's already been some cracker responses. We would like to know this morning, retrospectively, what have you done a little bit too early on in the relationship?

Commitment pets, buying a house, could be any number of things. Yeah. Whether or not you look back and you think, well, that was bad or... That was quick. It was quick, but hey, we're still together either way. Shannon, looking back, what do you think you did too early? I got pregnant way too early. Okay.

So how long are we talking? So I was with him like two months, fell pregnant, and then we were only together again like six months after that, and then we broke up. Wait, so you broke up before the baby arrived? Yeah, yeah. Okay, but you've got a baby. You don't want to sound like You regret that part

That's got to be the good part No But just maybe a little bit quick With that fella Yeah but at the time Were you just like This is great Yeah kind of

Tell you what Hell of a 21st speech You're working on there Brilliant Shannon thanks for sharing Thanks you're cool. Jess, looking back, what do you think you did too early in a relationship? Where do I start?

So at the beginning of the relationship, he had a dog. Okay. And we loved the dog. And the dog lived with us, and that was fine. And then he talked me into getting a goat. And so we got a goat. Old bit stuff. A goat, okay.

And then the next thing he convinced me to get was a cow. So I had a little lifestyle block. So all of a sudden, I already had a few chickens and ducks. And, you know, yeah, it was just my little bit of paradise. And then there was a goat and then there was a cow. And then, so fast forward to the relationship turning sour, he leaves me with the animals and then comes back in the middle of the night and steals the cow.

He's a rustler. What? Okay. Does he have anywhere to put this cow? I have no idea. I will never know what happened to the damn cow. It was a nice cow, though. Oh, okay.

Wait, I guess it was one less thing. What about the goat? No one wants a goat, though. Yeah, I couldn't get rid of mine. Yeah, no, he just ended up dying of old age. Yeah, so I looked after the goat. But it was going forward in my life, when I met my now husband, it was no animals.

No more animals. You listen. I thought you meant that the guy you were seeing died of old age. I forgot about the goat. I was like, shit. Wow. GSX, you call. Ask the messages in.

These are some Instagram responses. Got a tattoo of their name. Little too quick. How early? Does it say how early? No, it doesn't say too early. How about this one, though? In our first shower together, Which was early in the relationship

He peed Oh And then he was like Oh Is that alright And I was like Oh yeah that's cool Now it's a ritual

I wish it wasn't But it's too late now You can't say anything Yeah Yeah How long did you wait For the pee Yeah

I don't know It would have been pretty You could have set a precedent You don't want them to start peeing in the shower Like a year in Yeah. Yeah. How long did you wait? For the pee? Yeah. I don't know. It would have been pretty. You could have set a precedent. You don't want them to start peeing in the shower like a year in. Yeah. Because then it's, you know, it's weird. Why weren't you doing this before?

You've just done it now. It's a great place to pee. Safe water, by the way. That's great for the environment. Someone else said, my husband told me three days into the relationship, I love you. Oh, okay. Three days? But that's his husband, not ex. So assuming that's worked well.

Well, he just knew, didn't he? Yeah. He moved in a week after we met. Okay. I don't know if they're still together or not. Still together or not. My partner made us Facebook official after three dates. Oh, that's a big call.

And that was before discussing it with me. He just did it. Lucky he's cute. Oh, yeah, okay. That's what they say. So that makes it sound like it's still going. It's still happening, isn't it? Do people still do Facebook?

Is that a thing? I assume so. Like, is anyone still dating that on their Facebook? Well, like life events and stuff. Yeah, like who you were. I was married recently and they did the marriage thing. You'd do it for that because you've got to

change your last name. But just the dating. But do you remember when it was a thing and you couldn't if you broke up with someone there wasn't a way to hide that?

Yeah. And so when you did everybody knew but now you can hide it. Yeah, and everybody had their favourite on again, off again couple that every time

they had a spat and separated and then got back together it was all listed on Facebook and it was like but after the second time no one commented or liked it anymore. Everyone just sniggered about it in silence. Somebody else said

it was too soon in the relationship when I bought her jewellery. Nothing too major. It was a gold bracelet we broke up a week later. She didn't like the bracelet. Did they get the bracelet back? It was a gift. You can keep it.

A Tinder date turned into a pregnant Tinder date. Five years on, still with her. Maybe rushed that situation a little bit, but still with her. Three amazing kids. Oh, whoa. You didn't rush the first one. You're like, well, we've got to.

The ball's rolling. Better give them some brothers and sisters. It's the oldest first day of school today. Oh, happy first day. I moved from Sweden to New Zealand too early. We'd been together for seven months and I was 19 at last at ages, though, and I don't regret the kids. Oh, wow, cool.

We tattooed rings on after five weeks. Oh, no. No, no, no. Five weeks. Ten years on, no regrets. But, damn, looking back, we can both agree that was way too quick. Oh, no. No, no, no. Five weeks. Ten years on, no regrets. But damn, looking back, we can both agree that was way too quick. Oh, my God. Way too quick.

Some reading ahead, some reading ahead going on here. Nope, won't be reading that one out. Moved in together, got pregnant and had our baby all before our one-year anniversary. Wow. Fifteen years later, still married. Oh, you know, you know. They just baby all before our one year anniversary. Wow. 15 years later, still married. Oh, you know, you know. They just knew, yeah. You know, you know.

CDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Skunks. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Is it a mustelid? Is it from the mustelid family with your stoats, your whizzes, your squirrels? A little bit, eh? You think it's got a squirrely vibe to it? It's got a pointy nose. Well, today's fact of the day is that skunk spray can kill dogs. Really?

How about that? It's got a toxic element that operates like the one in onions Which is already Deadly to dogs You know you're not supposed to give dogs onions And garlic But then occasionally you'll see a dog thing with garlic in it Bulbous thing Yeah, underground bulby bits

So yeah It can cause Organ damage and anemia In dogs As the defence mechanism Yeah, it can cause organ damage and anemia in dogs as the defence mechanism for the skunk. Right. They're believed to be linked back to wolves, which were a main predator against the skunk

that helped them develop their little squirty stick. Oh, wow, okay. Yeah. Is it true that if they, like, squirt you, you can't get it off? Or is that just from people up here? No, it's really hard to get rid of the smell of it. It's really disgusting. I've never smelled it personally.

I would. Not on me, but I would smell it. Like close by, you'd be like, okay, that's what that smells like. Yeah, I felt like I skunk sprayed that tree. I'd give that tree a good sniff. You're a curious man, aren't you? I'm a very curious man. But also, like, it's one of those things that growing up,

it was ever-present in cartoons, especially your peppy, your peppy Le Pew, who, by the way, is not in the new Space Jam because he was a bit. He's been cancelled. Oh, really? What did he do? Well, he wouldn't take no for an answer. Oh, really? What did he do? He wouldn't take no for an answer. Oh, yes.

Remember that poor black cat just happened to get a white stripe down her back and he was very grab handsy and would not take no for an answer. He's gone. Times have changed. Apparently it's sulphur based and smells like rotten eggs. Also, skunks can have rabies. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm glad weunks can have rabies. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, I'm glad we don't have to deal with them. And it can be transmitted through the saliva or the spray of skunks. So skunks can give dogs rabies. Oh, God. Rabies, isn't that what he's reading? So for the rest of us, it's just wildly inconvenient and very stinky. But for dogs, skunk spray can be absolutely toxic. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.

SpaceX took four civilians to space. This is the first trip into, what is that part of the orbit? Just outside of the atmosphere? Yeah, it's not like chatting space like some of those other ones where you just go up and then down. They did full orbits of the Earth. Yeah. Because you go around the Earth in like 90 minutes,

did they say, 90 minutes? Yeah, you go around the Earth in like 90 minutes, did they say? 90 minutes? Yeah. And you see the sun go up and down all those times. Crazy. Remember we talked

to the astronaut? Yeah. Scott Kelly. Scott Kelly, and he was saying, yeah, you just get used to the sun going up and down like 14,

15 times a day. And then when you come back to Earth, it's, well, just the once a day. Yeah. Just the once a day. So there are four of them.

Hayley Ahanu, she's 29, and she is the youngest person to ever reach Earth orbit. And she's a civilian. Astronauts have always been older. No training. No, she is a doctor's assistant at the St. Jude's Children's Research Centre in Tennessee, so she's going to have a pretty cool story to go back to the kids with. Yeah.

There was a geoscientist and former astronaut candidate, Sian Proctor at 51 years old. So finally got to live the dream. Yeah. Aerospace data engineer and Air Force veteran Chris Sobromski, 42. Okay. And the crew's billionaire benefactor and mission commander, Jared Isaacman, 38.

What billionaire benefactor? What does that mean? He's a billionaire at 38? Yeah. Hey, don't compare yourself to him. Well, I won't because he's younger than me. Also, is he one of those people that the Herald will put in there about how easy it was for him to buy his first home?

All he had to do was save hard and that $500,000 that his great-grandad left him. Yeah, probably. Okay, yeah, gotcha, gotcha. Okay, he's an American billionaire businessman, parliament and commercial astronaut. He founded Draken International, a private air force provider. Okay. So they touched down in the ocean.

They came down with parachutes. And then there's what, a boat goes and picks them up. Yep, the boat. Well, they knew so precisely where they were going to land that the boats were already pretty much there. Okay. When they splashed down. Why?

Would you do it if someone said, here's a free ticket? Or it gets to the stage where in a few decades, it costs as much as going to London or something. Would you do it? Yeah, after heaps of people have done it. You wouldn't be one of the first. Nah. Just like an iPhone update.

Nah, the first or the early days have got, every detail would have been paid so much attention to. But when it gets to the, you know, the part where people are just paying money to go up there, shortcuts get taken, don't they? But by then it's a well-oiled machine. Yeah. I would have jettisoned myself out of that SpaceX

pod at the weekend. Listen to the Spotify playlist they've released. Oh, what do you mean? Well, they're in the ship. Yeah, they had an official Spotify playlist. So take off. They're up there. Wizzle, wizzle, wizzle, land. They're up there. Whistle, whistle, whistle, land. They must have like a cassette player,

like a car radio thing. Yeah, yeah. It's only got a cassette though, but it was all on CD, so they had to plug the CD into it. Yeah. Or a UE Boom or something. They must have something.

Strap down your UE Boom. Because did you see them when they were like taking off and they were flying around like they were just all playing with the touchscreen It's like don't touch that wouldn't touch anything. You don't know what you're touching or do they just Know they're not actually controlling anything. I don't think it's really just looking

Apple space play. Okay. Well, let me run through some songs and they've chosen all of these because of the title I have a space but in the air tonight, Phil Collins. Imagine that time the drum roll with the rocket. Oh, yeah. That would be pretty. Yeah. I don't know if they have music when they take off. I'm not sure.

Creed, higher. No. No. Jettison me out. Lifehouse, hanging by a moment. No, you don't want that. That makes it sound like you're hanging by, higher. No. Jettison me out. Lifehouse, hanging by a moment. You don't want that. That makes it sound like you could die. It's my life, Bon Jovi.

Oh my God. Korn, coming undone. They didn't have that. Korn! This is where I'd be pressing the eject button. Three doors down, Kryptonite. Tom Petty. Who picked this? I don't know.

Free Falling. Great song, though. Great song. But you don't want to be plummeting to the earth. Like this one, Anything Could Happen, Ellie Goulding. No. Does it have that David Bowie song where it's like, Ground control to Major Tom.

They do. They do. Along with All Star by Smash Mouth. We didn't talk about something going wrong. All the Small Things by Blink-182. You'll be happy to know that Nicki Minaj, Starships made it in. Oh, yeah. To the list.

And a whole lot of tracks there. Blinding Lights, The Weeknd. I wonder if they had the ability to skip. Because you've got lots of songs on there. That's got to be more than the time allowance. I don't know if they had Wi-Fi, if they could just stream whatever they wanted. Save your playlist.

You'd save before you took off, wouldn't you? Wow. What an experience. Yeah. And I mean, yeah, who knows? In a couple of decades, probably be in reach for a lot of people. Not if you have to go with that playlist, though.

No, you wouldn't bother. I'll just wait here. Just take headphones. Noise cancelling. Z over that playlist though. No, you wouldn't bother. I'll just wait here. Just take headphones. Noise cancelling. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. So when Bali opens up to tourists again

and they were going to in July when they get down to a level two partial lockdown status but then they had a spike in coronavirus cases so they put that on hold.

But when they do get down to partial lockdown status, they are planning to reopen their borders. Well, they're doing all right at the moment. I've just Googled. What's that? Just under 3,500, seven-day average, 3,500 cases. That seems like a lot.

Well, yeah, July they were getting 50,000 a day. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. So the difference is when they open up again is they are planning to ban backpackers and budget travellers. Really? So this is what they're saying. They're aiming for quality tourism in Bali so we won't allow backpackers to enter once the reopening plan for international travels is officially put in place in the near future.

They want the scummy people gone. All the drunk Aussies that you'd see riding around on scooters, crashing into things. I think even without the pandemic, they've been pushing their luck for quite a while. What, the Aussies? The Aussies. Yeah. They don't say how they're going to filter out tourists based on whether they're backpackers or not.

I guess, do you have to show accommodation details? It's been pretty grim, though, over there. Like, I saw a little, I think the ABC in Australia did a documentary, and it's like, it's bad. Like, you just see all the bustling side streets and all the, you know, markets, and they're just dead. Oh, yeah. No one's in all the resorts, kind of all the, you know, markets and they're just dead. Oh, yeah. All the resorts kind of.

You would think that they would just want everyone and anyone to come back, right? When they open up. But didn't we say the same thing? We just want the high-end tourists because they've got more money? Got the money. Did we? So you get more bang for your buck. Yeah.

Easier to get them in because there's less less but they'll spend more when they get here. So Indonesia, they've given 123 million doses of the vaccine and they're 44.7 million vaccinated. Wow. The percentage fully vaccinated

is 16.5. How many have they given? How many doses? 123 million. It's a big country. So yeah, I would imagine they'd hope to open up soon. Yeah. Wow.

I've never been to Bali and I've wanted to for so long. But you wouldn't do a backpacker. You've never stayed in a backpacker in your life. No, I did once and that's why I won't do it again. It was very unpleasant. Where was it? It was down in Owakuni. That doesn't count.

Was that the work trip? Why does that not count? Was that the work trip? No, it wasn't. It was a family trip. And like, everyone left a mess in the kitchen and then people were so rowdy.

And then there was like shared rooms and I was like, oh yeah. I don't think that counts. Why does that not count? How are you sharing a room with everyone's family? Surely your family filled up a whole room. No, there was, it was like, oh yeah. I don't think that counts. Why does that matter now? Who were you sharing a room with? If you were on family, surely your family filled up a whole room.

No, it was like a big room. There was other people in there. Oh, right. I was like, no. This is no. So you've never gone backpacking, ever? Nah. No.

Princess. It's not for me. It's not for me. You can safely say it's not for you. Yeah. Okay. And you have to put Everything in a backpack You can have a suitcase

People take suitcases now Right Yeah It's more the fact That you have to like Share that It's like going flatting But with strangers

Who just don't even Care about you It's awful And that you can't even Passive aggressively Tell off Because they don't Speak your language

Yeah Yeah they just Don't speak your language. Yeah. Yeah, they just don't get it, do they? Yeah. You try to be sarcastic with them and it just goes over their head.
