Hello, welcome to the Fleet's Morn and Megan with Hayley Sproul podcast. It's thanks to McCafe by 5 McCafe Coffees. Get one free on the Maccas app. For those following the drama of my engine light being illuminated yesterday before the show on the drive to work. Yes, and you were chitty chitty bang banging to work. Yes, I was. I got home in chitty chitty bang bang and got down to the mechanic.

Rob plugged in the machine. Did you know this? Every car since 1991 has an identical slot that they can plug a computer into and it talks to the car and the car tells it what's wrong. I did not know that. You walk into the doctor,

him sticking his finger up your ass and being like, it's tonsillitis. Do you know, I did know this because I had a similar issue. My car was running like a bucket of rusty nails. Took it to a place and they said, oh, we've got to replace your computer. And I had no idea.

This is the 2005 bomb that's falling apart. And I didn't even know it had a blooming computer in it. Yeah, but what's the plug that they play? Is it like a USB? I don't think there's games on it or anything fun. There's no solitaire or minesweeper. Yeah, so it's got a charging cradle. I watched the whole ordeal. Rob

unplugs it, plugs it into a, he puts his finger under the dashboard, fills the hole, plugs the little doohack here. So it is exactly like going to the doctor. It is. But with less lube. No, he lubed it up. He's a gentleman. And then he looks at this iPad and he selects on there

that it's a Honda, it's 2003. And then clicks this button. 2003. And then what? Get it together. Just get a new car. It only needs a warrant once every year, baby. I'm post-2000.

I'm living in the future. 2003 isn't vintage yet. Do you know what I mean? It's not like I've got a cool vintage car. You've just got a bad car. No, it's fine. And so everyone that was listening yesterday that messaged in that it's the coils, ding, ding, ding, 10 points to you, 10 points to Gryffindor.

It was the coils. It was the coils. And I need all new spark plugs and I need two new coils. So how much was that? It hasn't been done yet, but I'm expecting it to be a handsome amount. It's a handsome amount. Oh, you're a handsome amount. Yeah.

You know, speaking of cars that are old but not old enough to be classics, my dad's got a 2003 Ford Falcon. Yeah. You've seen it, eh? Dad's blue car. He's had it forever. He bought it brand new. He said the other day they went to Hamilton,

and they usually take mum's car because mum finds it more comfortable. She's got a Ford Focus, doesn't she? No, no, no. She's got a – She used to. No, my dad's got a Ford Focus. doesn't she? No, no, no. She's got a... She used to. No, my nan's got a Ford Focus. They're a Ford family, Hayley. No, mum's got a... You're loyal. Mum's got a

Nissan Primera. No, the weird one. Cash Kai? The weird looking word. Right. Anyway, they took dad's Falcon and dad said, I couldn't get over the attention I was getting. I had some boy racer tell me it was his dream car. Oh, yeah. A boy racer loves that kind of look, though, don't they?

So then he. A Ford Falcon. Yes, they do. And then they soup it all up and they put in the big exhaust pipe. Wow. He took it to the place for a warrant of fitness because they had it out. Yeah. And it flew through.

It got a warrant of fitness. And the guy. And dad told the guy. And the guy's like, well, no, yeah. This is like it's got to the age now where it's collector's edition and the fact that you've got low k's and it's like mint condition means it'll be like it's only going up in price so ian could flog that off to a boy racer for a substantial amount of money not yet he reckons another five to ten years if he can keep it in really good condition how much money do we feel boy racers have for cars weirdly heaps

yeah as much as the financial institutions will lend them for spoilers. Yeah. Really? Yeah, and not even make sure they've got insurance before they wrap it around a tree going too fast down a country road. It's phenomenally short-sighted.

But they get their money back in the end, don't they? The financial lenders? They do. Because they send around large people with bats. Yeah. I don't know if that's how they recover money No I'm pretty sure that's how it is You're thinking the mafia again

The mafia Yeah Good morning Welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughan and Megan And there is a new president of the United States As you would have just heard Rachel mention in the news The inauguration is underway.

We've just watched the performances, or some of them. Has it done? You say it's just underway, but surely the climax, the big O is the swearing in, right? Well, last I saw, J-Lo was just on. What was she singing? The, um, this land is my land. Yeah.

And my land is your land. And I believe Joe Biden is one of the better club bangers. Yeah. It's the will of the people. Yeah, Joe Biden's speaking at the moment. Who? To drive us from this sacred ground. I'm kidding.

It did not happen. It will never happen. Not today. Not today. Not tomorrow. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, Grandad, don't get too wound up. You know how you get. You know what the doctor said?

He is old. He's very old. Trump was old. He's very old. They're all old. So old. So old. Well, it's nice to have a normal president.

It is. And so he gets sworn in. Has Ms. Kamala he gets sworn in. Has Ms. Mrs. Kamala Harris been sworn in? I believe so. Or is that like a package deal? It all happens at once? I think it happens at once. Do they do like a headliner?

You know, like at the stand-up comedy show? Who's headlining? Yeah. Surely headlining would be Biden. He headlines, she opens. So maybe she's already gone. Gaga emcees. Can you feel a sense of relief in the air? Absolutely. That's the mutated

strain of COVID. Yes. Very much in the air. Very present in the air. Great stuff. Was it true did you hear that Trump, because he flew out of the White House today in a chopper and then there was a little ceremony. Was it true that he left to YMCA?

The song? Yeah. Did he? That's what I heard, but I haven't seen any more. Because it's all about the inauguration. Yeah, everyone's following his little ceremony. I know. A million miles away.

It would actually be, I would have a bit more respect for him if he went out to YMCA. As long as he did the YMCA. Well, he had it at all of his, he had it at his rallies. But you can't do YMCA on the way to the chopper because, you know, when you go to a chopper, they're always like, you've got to keep your hands down. Yeah, and you can't turn around and wave because you've knocked your fingers off. It would be such a Trump thing if he did the YMCA under a chopper. Why?

And it just took, took, took, took. And it's gone. Lost his hands. Yeah. All right. It becomes a bloody stump tea. The top six is coming up. I don't know what's happening in my brain.

Everything's a real struggle today. What is it? Thursday. No, what's the top six? The tax. That's right. Yeah. Oh, God.

Yeah, I had it. I said just before I knew what it was, and then I walked out the door and I came back and I must have left it in the kitchen. You know what your mother and I are like. People have been making their children directors of companies as a way to avoid tax. Yeah.

They make the kids the director so they get paid a director's wage. They're not already earning money elsewhere, and they pay a lower tax rate, and then you can spend your kids' money. Yeah, right. A couple have been caught doing this. Yeah, it sounds dodgy. It's a big whoopee, but how you can tell a six-year-old is an actual company director.

Okay. Coming up. Next on the show, though, big news. Dinosaur news. Oh, you remembered that, didn't you? Love dinosaur news. I think that's why I prioritise remembering the dinosaur news. Livescience.com.

They're a science website. Okay. They say science news, for example. I only frequent this website quite often. Yeah, it's a great one. The first COVID-19 case was reported a year ago in the States today. Oh, wow.

Italian cops discovered stolen Da Vinci replica that no one knew was missing. The Earth's outer shell ballooned during massive growth spurt three billion years ago. I like this one. Magic mushrooms grow in man's blood after injection with shroom tea. Oh, I saw that story.

Good Lord. Yeah. Don't inject shroom tea. No. No, no, no. This one's my favourite, though. This is from Laura, who works there. She's an associate editor.

First preserved dinosaur butthole is perfect and unique, says paleontologist. Every time you say paleontologist, I always think of Ross from Friends. Oh, yeah. He is the go-to. He is the go-to. He is the go-to. Most famous paleontologist.

Do you think he did amazing things for paleontology? What? Do you think people studied it because of him? The 90s were very big for dinosaurs from start to end. Your Jurassic Parks. Yeah. The End. Yeah.

That show. That dinosaur show. Not the baby. That's going to be on Disney+. Is it? They're going to put that on Disney+. Do you remember Dino? The last dinosaur. Denver, the last dinosaur. Denver. Denver, the last dinosaur. Not D baby. That's going to be on Disney+. What's that? They're going to put that on Disney+. Do you remember Dino? The last dinosaur.

Denver, the last dinosaur. Denver. Denver, the last dinosaur. Not Dino. Yeah. Dino is the Flintstones dinosaur. There you go. The golem dinosaur.

Well, this story has said that they have found the first perfectly preserved dinosaur, a noose. Okay. Great. And they can tell you that particularly this a no belonged to a Pasitica saurus. Oh, okay. And it used its cloacal vent, a.k.a. butthole. But cloaca, if you're not familiar, is like what birds have. It's a one-stop shop for all things expulsionary.

One size fits all. Not all the time. Wow. So they would use it to signal During courtship Signal With some kind of LED system They'd flare it up Yeah I know it sounds crazy right

They would also Expel a musky scent Right So fart Is another term for that Yes I guess so But they must have had like little fuel injectors during the musk to add the muskiness. Right, okay.

Imagine if you could choose to add a musk, a pheromone to your fart. Yeah, that attracts a suitor. Oh, but mmm. It'd be a confusing moment. So this vent, it, peas, poos? Everything. Peas, poos, they do their breeding, egg laying, just like you, like chickens and stuff. Except more like a crocodile, they can rub it together.

I didn't know crocodiles could rub it together. Neither. Neither. How? Wouldn't that make bubbles and then people would see you were underwater? Where is a crocodile's butthole? Under the tail? Oh my god, I always assumed under the tail. Yeah, no, because I've seen them laying their eggs.

But it's not like a tail, you know, like a cat. It's not like a dog, yeah, that lift the tail. The tail's a crucial part of the... Yeah, oh my god, that's the first thing that comes up in Google. Where is a crocodile's butt hole? I went, where is a croc? And it went, dials anus. And where is it?

Is it sort of on the lower tummy? Oh, hang on. Just behind the balls maybe. This is the information we all want to know this morning. The world waits with bated breath. Do you have an answer? Now someone's put, how many do they have? Do they have multiple? No, because... Greedy. I thought reptiles

were like birds and they had the cloaca system. Oh, sorry guys, I'm dealing with some really slow internet here. No, it's fine. You carry on. I'll do it. It's a crocodile. I can tell you more about this diet about this perfectly preserved. Crocodile's anus comes before where is a crocodile's brain.

Anyway, more. I would assume the brain's in the head. Surely. Surely. Behind the eyes. I'm going straight to images. I always assume the brain's behind the eyes of any creature. I would say a crocodile, sorry to interrupt again.

No, no, please. A crocodile has quite a tiny, right, okay. Tidy looking anus. A tidy? Yeah, it's got scales and it sort of just. Covers over. Meats in the middle, yeah. That'd be handy.

There you go. Ours have got a big crack, hey. Like you think about our. It's where our thighs join. Yeah, it's like right in the middle where it decided to come out. Mind you, I'd rather there than like the lower back. Imagine if that's where we'd been dealt that situation. But I can tell you other things about this perfectly preserved dinosaur.

It was about the size of a Labrador, and the cloaca was also described as very colourful. Right. A colourful, fragrant opening. So there we go That's great We're just learning More and more

About dinosaurs All the time Wow Add that one to the I don't think This is going to be The next Jurassic Park movie I can't see

No but it could be Some water cooler Topic conversation At work today Yeah Just be careful Who you share it with Some people would

Take you to HR For that I think If you just walked up and said, hey, great news in the paleontology world. Yeah. Dinosaurs had colourful, musk scented anuses. Yeah, no

don't go straight in with that. No. Warm them up first with a little bit of a like. Choose your balance with that I reckon. How about that inauguration? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast. Well today is a big day for those waiting for NCEA results. Oh, that makes me feel sick. Yeah.

I can remember that feeling. Because it's all on the exam hub now. There's no... God, you want to be careful what hub you go to. If you're online. Or if you just type in the word hub. Mind you, the other hub could pass some time while you're waiting for exam hub to get your results.

Yeah, if you're a teenager, I think you might have all the hubs open. Yeah. News hub. News hub. For the inauguration, results. Yeah, if you're a teenager, I think you might have all the hubs open. Yeah. News hub. News hub. For the inauguration, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when mum and dad go to work.

Porn hub. Tab to porn. Oh, no, exam hub. Exam hub. Oh, right, of course. 140,000 students waiting for the NCA results today. And of course, last year, the year of COVID, and a lot of disruption.

A lot of students missing some assessments. Because, you know, a lot of people do have a computer at home and the internet, but a lot didn't. Do you remember they sent out routers for some students as well? Tablets and stuff. And if you miss, because did you guys do NCEA? I'm assuming I'm younger than you both. Yes, I did my exams on a parchment with a feather that I had to

consistently dip an egg in. And then one day the homing pigeon brought my results to me. And then we had a Bridgerton ball to celebrate. Were you school cert? Yeah. Yeah, school cert. I was like school C and then it became. Sixth form and then bursary.

Yeah, bursary. Right. I did NCEA. And the thing with NCEA is you can go into your last exams pretty much already having passed because you do so many of the internal stuff during the year. So that's why it's hard for these students now because they've missed so much of that.

So it puts so much more pressure on the end of year exam results. And I think a lot of students or some students were doing like summer school catch-ups. I think they were able to do that. I pretty much did that, but I went to every day of school, but I sort of messed around at school every day. And it was like, oh God, these exams. So I did a lot of cramming.

Yeah, that was the good old days where you could just last minute get all the notes off your friend or someone that did pay attention and just hope for the best. Hope to pass the exam well. It doesn't say what time, but I feel like every year this website goes down. Doesn't it? Am I right in saying that? It feels like there's a crash as soon as they release the results.

But I'm just on the student hub. Well, you're making it worse. You don't have results. Well, I'm just refreshing. There's no results. Just randomly start putting in student numbers i see what happens no you need a login you need a lot right just start chucking in some passwords yeah uh so yeah uh sometime today well good luck good luck yeah good luck and also doesn't matter you can go to drama school like me they don't check your ncaa results't they? Nah I think you might have needed UE

But you Yeah How do you get in? A UE boom Yeah To play your background music While you do your interpretive dance To get in

How you get into drama school And this is no lie Is you do a monologue Like a dramatic monologue Like one Like a famous one It doesn't have to be famous It could be Shakespeare

Or Yeah because Shakespeare's not famous. Right. But you do that and then you do an exercise where you... This is the drama school I went to. Pretend that you're in the ocean, washing through the waves and stumble upon a beach. And that's how I became an actor.

Every toy student is going to be listening going... How about I can't swim? Would that be okay? You're just sort of in a room waving around. Rip, rip. Yeah. Do you add a seagull? A couple of seagulls?

Would that be extra points? Well, someone's sort of narrating it for you and you're reacting. So it's really up to them if they're like, it's a seagull. Ah! Yeah. Right. I went to private school and that's how I got into university. After all the money my parents spent on education, I then

rolled around the room and got a degree. An Indiana mother has been making waves online by encouraging her sons to take something new to school to help their female friends. Micah and

Elijah from Fort Wayne are now taking tampons to school in female friends. Micah and Elijah from Fort Wayne are now taking tampons to school in their bags so that they can support their female friends. Okay. Yeah. Two thoughts. One, that's good. That's great.

Yes. That's cool because I, well, I'm not, I haven't been in that situation of having a period, but I imagine being caught short would be bloody horrible. It would be, yeah. Awful. God bless toilet paper. It's a great invention.

It's got lot of uses. I blow my nose on it. It truly is multi-use. Yeah. But second point, do they want to be taking it? Because it would be really awkward and now they're known as the tampon guys because mum's made them take them.

Yeah. How old are they? Has she only gone public with it because somebody called them creepy because they were like walked up and they were like... They're 16 and 17 years old. Right. Which is, yeah, I mean, it's a few years.

I mean, I guess they'll be having lots of female friends at this age. Would you find it creepy, though? I wouldn't find it creepy. I mean, the whole thing for her is destigmatising female anatomy. And this is one of many things she does. She also takes them bra shopping to help buy bras for their sister. What? No, yuck, because that's your sister.

Yeah, I mean, it's a bit weird to think about your sister's boobs. Yeah. You just get excited, don't you, in the bra shop? I love a trip to bra and things. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. But anyway, they keep them in their lockers for their female friends after their mother, Tara, was talking about how traumatising it is

to have a bleed through for girls, especially at school. And they went silent. and they didn't even know that that was a concern or an issue for younger ladies. But if you were at school in that situation, wouldn't you just ask your friends? Well, this is the thing, because I think it's great to normalise periods like this with young men in particular. But how do you advertise, hey, we've got TAMs?

Yeah. Without it being creepy. Like, do you stand by the toilet with a tampon and any time a girl walks in, you're like, you need this? Yeah, yeah. Because that's creepy. Oh, you go to the toilet. Now, by my calendar, I'm keeping track.

Just going up to me, have you got your P.O.S.? Josephine, I think it's your time of the month. So grab a couple of these. Yeah, I don't know know Long gone are the days Because it's I mean When did I leave high school I left high school

I was 16 in 2006 And I went to an all girls school And even then you didn't Advertise your period You sort of had your tampon up your sleeve Yeah I can never remember Like knowing that someone had one At high school

No Ever It wasn't really something that you advertised. No. Now, go scream it from the rooftops. Oh, I can remember people being like, oh, can I go to the bathroom? And the teacher's been like, no! If I was, like, how would you do that to a teenage girl? I remember teenage girls being declined

toilet visits. That would be the one thing maybe an all-girls school was good at. Well, my all-girls school, I won't speak on behalf of all of them, but if we were ever denied a toilet break, you would say, I've got my period. And then they can't. They would. They can't.

But would they? And then you'd go and you'd smoke a cigarette. Yeah. Take a long way back, have a drink from the good bubble fountain. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. TikTok user Andrea Lopez, 44. She's got a lot of followers and she's now being praised for her FBI levels of investigation

after sharing her very simple method to work out if your partner has been unfaithful. Listen to this. Ladies, if you want to find out if your man is cheating on you, get yourself one of these and roll it all over their carpet like this. What the f***?

My hair is black. So she gets those sticky lint rollers, rolls it all over the carpet, and in the video it's covered in another woman's hair. Red hair. And that's how she works out that her partner has potentially been unfaithful. But you would have to, like, what if you had a party? Yeah, well, this is the thing. Also, this dude needs a robot vacuum cleaner.

If he's living in a bachelor pad, every bachelor, do yourself a favour. Even if you're in a flat of people who are useless and not vacuuming, get one of those robot vacuum cleaners. They'll vacuum that stuff up. I'm not saying cheat on your partner. I'm just saying some people don't vacuum enough. This guy obviously doesn't vacuum enough. Why did you look at me when you said that?

I vacuum a lot. No, I know. You're a thorough vacuumer. Thank you. Because you destroyed the Dyson. He ruined a Dyson. How do you ruin a Dyson? Well, he ran it on high power.

Were you supposed to let the Dyson decide how hard it is to suck? Oh, no. See, I would do that too. Why would you get a vacuum cleaner and then put it on the hard side? Because it only sucks as hard as it needs to suck. Oh, no. See, I would do that too. Why would you get a vacuum cleaner and then put it on the hard floor? Because it only sucks as hard as it needs to suck. It only sucks as hard as it needs to suck. The Dyson can tell if it's on carpet, if it's on tiles, if it's on whatever, hard flooring. Suck as hard as possible.

It's on my floor. It blows the battery out. Well, that's what I said. The guy at the call centre was like, oh, you don't run it on high all the time. I'm like, why is it an option then? Yeah. It's like on, I was going to say normal vacuum cleaners, cheap vacuum cleaners.

They've got that little slidey hole vent bit. What is that for? To weaken the pressure. Who wants weaker vacuum pressure? Why have you installed this function? I always thought that was so when you get something blocked in the pipe, you can open that up and tell by the whistling noise if it's before

or after the hole. Oh, it could well be for that. But for me, every time you knock it, you're like, this vacuum sucks. And you're like, oh, the vent's open. I remember being a kid and you'd just slide that little hole open and you'd be like, put your thumb on it. When you're a kid, did you get the vacuum cleaner and just put your mouth in it? Yeah.

Did you ever give yourself hickeys with a vacuum cleaner? We never had a vacuum with the capability to hickey. Oh, did you have one of those sort of big, like, hoovers? We had a big vacuum cleaner. Right. That or maybe I don't bruise easy. Anyway, I will say that this woman has found a significant amount of ginger hair. So it's not like it's just a random collection of people that have been around.

Yeah. This is specifically coming from one head. That woman, I think if there has been hanky-panky, it must have been on the floor and then gross because it wasn't vacuumed. Yeah. Yeah, on the carpet. She would have got up afterwards. David, please.

Yeah, and had like crumbs stuck in her back and stuff from where he just swept them off his plate. This is why it's better to cheat with bald men. No evidence. There you go. What's with the beds? I'm with the opposite of a bald man. Yeah, he's very hairy.

Yeah, he is. He's got a lot of hair on his head. Does he clog up the shower? No, I do. Yeah. But he would too. It's a beautiful mix. It's where we really come together.

Right, yeah. Your drain must be manky. Oh, it is a daily thing. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. From the underground ZM think tank, this is the top six. Naughty, naughty. People have been listing their children as company directors in their company to try to avoid tax, and they did until they got caught,

and it's a $431,000 tax evasion scheme. Oh. Yep. Wow. That makes me sad. But like you say, red flags at the IRD when they see some kids earning. Insane money. Insane money.

Yeah. They were sentenced on 65 charges each of evading or attempting to evade the assessment or payment of goods and services tax and PAYE. So does it say how much the kids were making theoretically? No, it just says that the total tax evaded was about half a million dollars. So lots. Lots. Seven figures at least. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Welcome. Great to have you here. Thanks for having me. Good morning. Now, have you come over from, do you live on Waiheke? Yeah. All right, okay.

So, you had the ferry over this morning? I stayed at a friend's tonight, or last night. Oh, okay, right. A bit safer to make sure I got here on time. Stayed at a friend's. I'm trying to pick up clues because obviously you can't actually tell us too much. Oh, no, I stayed at Lexi's house. It's all weird.

Ooh! No. Our TVNZ were like, get him off here. Cut his mic have it ready to mute him so I was reading up about you that doesn't sound creepy

but Paul you're a chef a little bit creepy and actually you're not even supposed to be here you're supposed to be in New York City opening a restaurant right now

yeah instead I'm hanging out in Waiheke digging holes wow it's pretty fun I was going to say what happened but COVID

yeah a little bit just didn't want to do it. No, yeah, COVID happened. Came home. Family are really happy about it. I'm pretty happy about it. I haven't been home in a long time. It's good to be back in New Zealand chilling out.

But yeah. Yeah, stuff New York. How long had you been overseas for before you came home? Eight years. Wow. Oh, wow. And so was it COVID brought you back to New Zealand? I did Paris lockdown for a little bit,

and it was just a little bit too hectic. Do you have a place in Paris? Yes, I live in my apartment in Paris, my business in Paris, kind of just waiting for me to come home. Do you reckon when you told the other bachelors that they were like, I'm out? Don't even worry about it, I'm just going out.

It's a city of love, isn't it? A chef who has a place in Paris. And so you were travelling around, living this fantastic chef-y life. You had to come home because of COVID and you thought, I'll go on a dating show on telly. Yeah, I got approached and I was like, that's not a good idea.

And then thought about it and I was like, it should be pretty funny. And yeah, jump in. And you had a good time? Amazing. The lads are all solid. This is the vibe, eh? Yeah, it's good.

It was definitely that, which is kind of funny. It's different because when it's The Bachelor and you get the girls and then they're like, oh, you know, we all got on great. You're like, bullshit. You can just tell that there is some, everyone's putting on their smiles, but there's like WhatsApp chats where half the girls aren't in them. Yeah. Yeah, but all the lads said that, well, the lads we've talked to so far

have all said that it was a pretty solid crew. There was i mean it was everyone got on it was really crazy um i was expecting to have problems just being a little bit older than everyone and but no it was gold yeah so you can't tell us if you found romance but you definitely found a bit of bromance yeah it was yeah what i wasn't expecting to find at all um I haven't lived with a bunch of guys since I was, I can't even remember. So that was funny. But yeah. And it says here that you're a bit of a romantic. In fact, once you went, you followed a girl overseas after meeting her for 24 hours.

Yeah, it's a bad habit, I think. A habit? Is this how you ended up in France? Yeah. Well, that turned out quite well. Yeah. Even though you're not with her. No.

Yeah, it was like three and a half months, no language, living together in like 12 square metres. So you met her and then what? You went, yeah, this is the one. No, more, this was fun. This was fun. Paul follows you literally the other side of the world, France,

and it's not creepy. I follow a girl home and all of a sudden I'm a creep. I just want it stated for the record that that's not fair. And it's all because I can't cook. That's the only difference. There you go. Learn how to cook, you'll be fine. I know.

Hello, I followed you home and I bought pancakes that I cooked Done Still creepy, still creepy We're yet to meet Lexi without giving too much away, what can you tell us about it, what was your first impression? Yeah, it was intense It was intense

Intense? She's intense or the whole situation itself was intense? The whole situation. Yeah. Because you're like, oh, this isn't really, you know, and then, oh, no, yep, it's a thing, 100%. Imagine it is intense, you know, dating someone along with 17 other guys in front of you.

Every weekend. Yeah. Because I find it hard to watch some of those dates because they are, everyone's watching, aren't they? They are, and they're listening. The one thing I remember from last season you know every time i don't know if you're aware of this or if you got a kiss or not you can't tell us but is you know they're mic'd yeah you hear that yeah you get them yes noises yeah um yeah i can't wait to see if you get a kiss, Paul. I hope you do.

Well, all 18 guys have been revealed. You can go to ZM online, check out all the profiles. Bachelorette, TVNZ2, 7.30 on the 1st of Feb. So not too far away. And then it'll be on every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday on TVNZ2. Paul's already decided he's not going to watch it. Yeah, seeing yourself on TV. How big are those holes?

How big are those holes you're digging on? Why, Hickey, because you're hiding one? 100%. That's the whole plan. I'm standing there. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Well, the New World knife smeg debacle continues.

You try to do something nice and they just throw it back in your face. Yeah, yeah. You try to get people addicted to shopping at your supermarket with a rewards system that's way out of whack and all of a sudden they want to stab you with the knives they have to

save stickers for. Very sharp knives though. Great knives. You know what though, in their defence, they last year and at the start of this promotion said this is going to be crazy, you don't want to muck around. And they said it was until they ran out, right? And now everyone's like,

but I collected all these stickers and now I can't get a knife. So there's a lot of sour grapes. Well, the Commerce Commission have said that they have received a complaint lodged over misleading New World's Meg knife block promotion. An Auckland businessman who didn't want to be named said he believed

continuing the promotion when they knew the knife blocks were no longer available was misleading conduct. But, I disagree. I'm not the Commerce Commission,

but I personally disagree because those stickers aren't just for the knife block. You can use them for things that are still redeemable and they did say until they ran out.

Yes. So you could get yourself another small knife perhaps. And then do what I did say until they ran out. So you could get yourself another small knife, perhaps. And do what I did and get the magnetic knife. You stick on the wall, the magnet block. Aesthetically as well. It looks way better. Yeah. You can just keep the bench nice and clear. Yeah, I don't like the knife

blocks. The knife block, yeah. It looks like they made a kettle, but they buggered it up, so they just decided to make it a knife block. And they filled it with wood at the top. Yeah. And you said yesterday that they were on Trade Me for redonkulous prices. Oh, my God, yeah. There were some for, like, 350. But you can buy the knife block at websites,

because Smeg doesn't make knives and knife blocks for New World. You can probably find them online a lot cheaper. Yeah, like, I think I found at the start of this promotion 300 euros for an entire set with knife block. Yeah. I mean, so that's still 500. But for all the knives and the block. Yeah. Also, in news, because this is all blowing up, and because

it blows up, and because it's dramatic, and we're laughing at it, and some people are really serious about it, the news outlets are looking for any story they can possibly get to do with it. And also now, an Auckland New World employee has accused the store that they work for of hiding smeg knives from non-regular customers.

Which the supermarket have said that the employees misunderstood. There's been a horrendous misunderstanding. It's a simple misunderstanding. They said they were briefed on the new policy last week. And if a customer that you did not recognise or you could tell had travelled from afar, they weren't welcome to their knives. What?

Not in our neighbourhood. Well, that's another thing. On our Facebook page, somebody commented that they had to drive, they completed the set, they had to drive 90 minutes to another New World to get the last one. They rang around.

I drove an hour to get my chef's knife. I did because I was in the Wairarapa with my family over Christmas. Yeah. And someone gave me this booklet full of knives. And then the local carditon one didn't have what I wanted either. They only had bread left. So I drove to Silverstream in the hut. Did you?

You went over the Rimetakas. I went over the Rimetakas, drove into Silver Stream, which is, you know, drove into it, and I got my knives. And then drove all the way back? Yes. And I regret nothing. See, it's crazy, eh? It blows my mind every time.

Well, I wasn't even collecting them, and then I was like, what? Free knives? And then I sort of got the buzz. I know, you get addicted. Yeah, you get the taste of it. I don't know why people are into heroin. It's a stupid drug. Do you want to try some heroin? I'll have some heroin.

I love this heroin. That's how I felt. I felt crazed. Yeah, it is. It's crazy. Also, there's been complaints on local Facebook pages, Hallswell Community. I've been sent many of these for community notices,

but I thought I would mention them outside of the segment. Okay. Cara has posted that these knife posts are absolutely killing me with boredom. I'm leaving this page. This used to be about the community and now it's all about knives. Well, it's a community issue. Well, yeah. Yeah, it is.

Someone said it's been knife knowing you. That was good. That's not very knife of you to say. Someone said that was a little bit of a blunt response. Someone said you're not forking around. That's good. That's a good one there. Bring in other cutlery puns, not just knives.

I guess we won't be seeing you spoon, somebody said. It's good stuff. It's good stuff. Good to see some cutlery puns online. I feel like it's bringing people together with the puns and tearing them apart. How's about this anonymous text in? I deliver for foodstuffs,

and I had 30 pallets of knives and blocks on and nearly got accosted at one of my deliveries. It was almost as bad as the toilet paper during lockdown. And do you remember way back the chocolate milk? Yes, Louisville Creamery. When it was chocolate milk, people were like storming the trucks when they were doing the drop-offs. And then we have feral people. Later on, you look back and you're like, that was crazy.

We can't do that again. No. And then we're storming the knife trucks. We're so quick to hook on to things. Aren't we? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul at 7.26. A survey has revealed the top 10 foods people reach for

when they need it to get put into a good mood, a little pick-me-up. And some of them are really surprising. I honestly would have thought there would have been more junk food on this list. I'm shocked to say there's no burgers or anything like that. No burgers, good. It's everything. And it's shocked to say there's no burgers or anything like that. No food. Burgers good. It's everything. And it's

handheld. And there's no dishes. Yeah, I know. It's truly a flawless food. But is that a pick-me-up? If you're in a tired mood and you're like, I need a pick-me-up, I need to eat something. Wait a minute, are we talking a mood pick-me-up or an energy pick-me-up? So this is mood regulation.

So it is confusing because I feel like looking at these, they're things that I'm like, oh, well, that makes sense, but it's not necessarily something that I would go, oof, I'm really gagging for some salmon.

I'll give you the list. Ooh, I love salmon. I'll give you the list and we'll break it down. I'm like a big grizzly bear. I'd get down on that, I'd get down on that bustling Alaskan creek and tear a salmon to bits. I'd get down on that. I'd get down on that. Do you know what I mean? Bustling Alaskan creek

and tear a 70 bits. I'm going to give you the top 10, but I'm looking at this list. Number 15, green tea, really? Oh, no, that's not. Green tea.

That's not picking me up. Oh, I'm feeling a bit down. Green tea. Leafy greens, for God's sake. Anyway, number 10, melon. Melon.

Oh, no. What melon? Rock melon? Watermelon? Watermelon. It says here on the list, melon. So I. Oh, no. What melon? Rock melon? Watermelon? Watermelon. It says here on the list, melon. So I'm going to say melons in general of any variety. A general melon.

A good pick-me-up. I mean, it's fresh, it's zesty, it's light. If you've had it in the fridge, it hurts your teeth. Oh, my God, guys. Over the break, I was at somebody's house, and they were hosting us, and they had snacks, and they had melon. Melon salad?

In cubes. No, but they sprinkled it with had snacks and they had melon. Melon salad? In cubes. No, but they sprinkled it with chili flakes and chili. Wow. Revolutionary. Rock melon? Watermelon. Watermelon! With chili flakes.

Chili flakes. Hang on. Revolutionary. This, it's making sense in my brain. Yeah, because it's sweet. It's fresh. It's hot and it's juicy. It's watery. Fresh, sweet, spicy. And it was amazing. Oh's hot, and it's juicy. It's watery.

Fresh, sweet, spicy. And it was amazing. Oh, my God. I'm going to bring some in tomorrow. Okay. So, melon. We agree with that. Number 10.

Yeah, okay. Number nine, apples. Fresh apple. Apple a day keeps your mood at bay, apparently. Yeah. Number eight, oranges. I kind of, you know what I mean? I'm sort of.

Yeah, you've got to be in the mood for it. I've got an orange tree, and sometimes I look at it, and I'm like, you're going to be a lot of work. Fletch, you've got a big sack of fruit there. You've got an orange. But see, this isn't a sack of pick-me-up. This is a sack of let's just get through the day so I'm not hungry, you know?

I suppose that's kind of a pick-me-up. I don't know. Number eight, oranges. Number seven, salmon. Got it. Yeah, I love it. I love a crispy skinned salmon. I like to eat salmon all the time.

I reckon if I only had to survive on one meat for the rest of my life, and you know how much I love steak. No, mine would be chicken. Mine would be salmon. I like to eat salmon all the time. I reckon if I only had to survive on one meat for the rest of my life, you know how much I love steak. No, mine would be chicken. Mine would be salmon. Mine would be chicken. You'd get over someone. It's too much.

Yeah, it is. It's not enough. You can't sit there. I could eat chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Same. I could eat salmon for breakfast. Popcorn chicken for breakfast. That's wild.

Chicken wings for lunch and roast chicken for dinner. Roast chicken for dinner, you're correct. Chicken waffles for breakfast. Chicken salad for lunch and roast chicken for dinner. Roast chicken for dinner, you're correct. Chicken waffles for breakfast. Chicken salad for lunch. Okay. Chicken waffles for breakfast. Fried chicken for lunch. I mean, mix it up.

So all of yours are just fried. That's what I'm picking up. You're going to feel awful after that. Well, I'll just need more fried chicken. Anyway, seven is salmon. Six, eggs. I do love eggs. See, that's a good comfort thing. Yeah, that's a good, I love that hungover breakfast. Scrambled eggs. I can pour in Six, eggs. I do love eggs. That's a good comfort thing.

That's a good, I love that hungover breakfast. Scrambled eggs, I can pour in eggs, Benny. Yeah, absolutely. Eggs, I agree with that. In fact, I'd want to be a bit higher up. Number five, yoghurt. It's a pick me up. There's no junk food on this list and it's annoying me. Well, I'm not finished the list yet. Was the person doing

the survey like being really judgy every time someone would say something? I feel like it's a nutritionist in like some health Instagrammer who's like a little treat after dinner I'm having yogurt and berries. Yeah, and then they ask other people and other people are like literally eating fried chicken but they write

watermelon. Yeah, sure. Number four, berries. I've got a handful of berries. Sometimes I'll just tip one of those little punnets of blueberries straight into my gob. I like... Oh, no, you've got to be careful doing that because there's always a manky one. Now, I don't care. There's two manky ones per packet.

No, get them with the good ones and you don't even notice the manky ones. No, but some of them, the mankiness is like, I bought a punnet of raspberries the other day, Nick Day. Oh, yeah, they go... Full mould. They go quick. Feral. You've got to check the raspberry punnets.

Question. The raspberry punnets are quite empty at the supermarket. Can you open up a punnet and pour other raspberries in to top it up? It's not an issue of can. New World's got bigger things to worry about than you topping up your raspberry punnet. People siphoning raspberries. Number three, grapes. See, that's well off for me.

Who's reaching for grapes? I like grapes. Number two, grapes. See, that's well off for me. Who's reaching for grapes? I like grapes. Number two, dark chocolate. There it is. That's your only sort of treat on there. And number one, obviously, is coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker, but that's the number one pick-me-up when you're feeling a little bit down.

Coffee, dark chocolate, yes. The rest of them, I don't know. It's a bit fresh. Yeah. Chocolate, yes. The rest of them, I don't know. It's a bit fresh. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. We learnt yesterday that Hayley's partner, Aaron, is in a TV ad. And not because you're on a TV ad at the moment. You're on a skinny. Skinny, I am.

You and Brynlee Stent are on the skinny ad. Yeah, we are. And I think because we were talking about i said that ben you know ben from the asb ads they're using ben and all the asb ads at the moment yeah real hit i love the one where he walks up to um get the pizza delivery and he gets back and he's like i got chased by a goat oh it really tickles you he's a good man i saw him in queenstown and he was being mobbed by baby boomers. Mobbed. One of them caught on to who he was because he's also very easy to spot. He's huge.

Yeah. Like he's super tall. And so one of them worked out who he was instead of you, Ben. And he was like, yeah, yeah, he was really good about it. But then the boomers just flocked in. And what, they were just getting photos with him? Yeah. Because he's on the ASB ads.

And shaking his hand and giving him a pat on the back and being like, I really like the ad. It's so New Zealand, isn't it. Yeah. Because he's on the ASB ads. and shaking his hand and giving him a pat on the back and being like, I really like the ad. It's so New Zealand, isn't it? Because we don't have big mega mega movie stars. No. So if you're on an ad,

it's kind of a big deal. Yeah, and because it's, oh, those ads, they make them and then like with the Ben one, they've made like six

with a minute now, I think. I can't believe that you didn't know that Aaron was on an ad. Because that's when you said oh yeah this happens to Aaron

and I said what ad is Aaron in and Hayley's partner Aaron is Hi Greg Grover from Nova Nova Nova where the drovers

this is Mr Grover over Aaron I'm Mr Nova he's the Nova guy he's the guy in the ads with all the things that run with over

he is and do you know what's really funny he gets recognised all the time for it all the time in the ads with all the things that rhyme with over. He is. And do you know what's really funny? He gets recognised all the time for it. All the time. So you'll be at the supermarket. Yeah. And I don't want to have to project my own successes onto the radio.

But I host a few television shows. One on each of the major networks. You were on Golden Boy. I never get recognised when I'm with him. Everyone, I always see people looking at us and I'm like, oh, here we go. Hayley Sproul, what do you know me from?

The Bake Off or the acting? And then they're like, they'll come up and go, you're Greg Grover from Nova. And I'm like, oh, for God's sake. You know, it's just ads. They play all the time. People really recognise them. And then do you have to take the photo?

I have had to do that before. I have. And people go, oh. Yeah, anyway. That is brilliant. Aaron is Greg Grover from Nova. God bless him. And how long has he been doing that for?

Because those ads have been on forever. Yeah, it's quite a few years now. Every year he gets his, because I think people don't immediately go, of course, because every year he gets his little Greg Grover dorky haircut and they trim off his big bushy beard and he becomes Greg Grover for a while and then it all grows out and then the next year he'll do it again. But yeah, it's been going for a while and yeah, it's great. I always forget.

How good? So New Zealand. It's so New Zealand. And it got us to thinking like, when have you met someone from an ad? Because there's meeting people from Shortland Street and there's me seeing Simon Dallow because he's so, you probably don't know how tall simon dallas is very tall he's very lovely and dude is tall so he stands out in a crowd there's many news broadcasters yep you know yeah yeah actors and stuff but then there's meeting the people you know from tv ads yeah and you think

about the inescapable you think when um the big guy that did the Mitre 10, the big is better, the strong man. He wouldn't have been able to go anywhere because, again, he stood out in a crowd. Yeah. Goldstein from the ASB Bank ads back in the day. Yeah. I mean, he didn't live here, but when he was here,

he would have been absolutely set upon. So we want to know, on 0800DOLLS.NM, where you can text 9696, when have you met someone that's been on a TV ad? Well, while Megan's on maternity leave, Hayley Sproul is filling in and we have learned that she's with someone famous.

She's with Greg Grover from Nova. We asked you guys which people from an ad you've met and I meet Greg Grover every night. And Greg Grover, no, I won't say it. Good morning, Aaron. Oh, bad for saying he meets. You?

Yep. He meets the girl from the skinny ad. It is a real get together. So we want to know when you've met someone from an ad. Somebody messaged in that they met the guy from the Sea Lord Swim Like a Fish. You know the dad and daughter ad where the daughter can't swim, but she takes swimming lessons lessons and he's encouraging her and they're eating fish the whole time.

Loose tie-in, to be totally honest. I don't think eating fish is going to make you swim like a fish. No. You don't take on the characteristics of what you eat, do you? Well, we don't know that. I think the verdict's out on that. I'd moo. I'd moo a lot if I did. But they said they met him over Christmas

in Warkworth. The dad. I've got a little fizz in my nose because that ad gets me. I lot if I did. But they said they met him over Christmas in Warkworth. The dad. I've got a little fizz in my nose because that ad gets me. I know. I know. When he's like, I'm going to learn to swim too. I'm a big boy. I'm going to be a good dad for my daughter. I'm going to learn to swim too.

Somebody else said, I met the Hellers TV ad guy. That would be referring to New Zealand legend Lee Hart, who has done a lot of amazing content in his career and probably just paid the bills with the heller's hands for a while. And I just started screaming at him, it's the heller's man, over and over until he left. Until he left. Oh dear.

They do say I was drunk and I wish I could apologise to him. We are asking you if you've ever met anybody from a TV ad. Hayley Sproul, a.k.a. the future Mrs Grover. From Nova. From Nova. And you saw the ASB guy, Vaughan. Ben. He was getting mobbed over the break.

He absolutely, like, he was burly, mate. And those boomer snappers were just all around him, circling. They wanted photos. And you know when a boomer gets out their camera for a selfie, it's a big deal. One mum even had an iPad. She gets out the iPad for the big occasion. For the big photos.

So we want to know if you've ever met anybody from a TV ad. Martin, who did you meet from a TV ad? I meet her every night. She's my wife. Her name is Karen. Okay, and what TV ad was Martin, who did you meet from a TV ad? I meet her every night. She's my wife. Her name is Karen. Okay, and what TV ad was she in? On the Bunnings ad. She's been on quite a few of them.

Oh, is she the one they always have in, she's in her Bunnings apron and she's like, these barbecues are great for summer. Yes, that's it. I hear that doing those ads is a real badge of honour for Bunnings staff. It is a badge of honour. So they are actual Bunnings employees? They're all Bunnings employees, yep.

So, you know, and if they're good, they get to go for other ads. So she's done three. Wow, she's done three. I love that they're not lying to us, you know? Yeah. Yeah. What's her department? What's her specialty?

Oh, Martin's phone's gone. Maybe Karen was like, get off. Whacked him with a bit of 4x2 and she works in London. Don't talk about me behind my back. I don't want you telling everybody I'm on the ads. Logan, who did you meet from a TV ad? I met the Briscoes lady. New Zealand royalty.

The piece a la resistance. I remember we spoke to her a few years ago, didn't we? Remember that? She's lovely. Tammy, lovely. Lovely. Yeah, so I was a door-to-door salesman

for a power company and we were running around in Auckland and I knocked on her door and it was crazy because she was really, really lovely, and we went inside, and she signed up. And like two hours later in the same neighbourhood,

I knocked on the door of Wendy Meyer from the Better Living ads. Oh, my gosh. You got the good neighbourhood. You got the good neighbourhood. It sounds like you were in an affluent community. Yeah, now I'm going to be like pitties at the gate going, grrrr, grrrr. Did Wendy sign up as well?

Wendy didn't because she was in a contract, but she was really, really nice. And I think she made me a coffee or gave me some lunch or something. This could be a better living. Better living. I always tell the real sales people to piss off. I'm not interested. This could be a bit of gossip.. I always tell the real sales people to piss off, I'm not interested. This could be a bit of gossip.

What were you selling? Or were you not actually? I can't say who for. Big blue New Zealand power company. It wasn't Nova. You'd be up against Greg Grover from Nova. And you'd lose.

Unfortunately. True. Hey, Logan, thanks for your call. Some of the text messages in. Somebody said the Richie Richie guy from the Richie McCaw. The MasterCard. That's my friend Byron. And he's in the Zero ads now, eh?

Ads love him. He's very entertaining. He's a very funny guy. Very entertaining character. Somebody said met him. I think he'd heard it a few times that day. Yeah. That's the thing.

I think it haunted him for a very long time. That's probably why he did the Zero. Just replacing one evil with another. Yeah. That's the thing. I think it haunted him for a very long time. Yeah, he's probably why he did the zero. Just replacing one evil with another. Yeah. People meeting us. Now this is a real hark back. I've had to find this clip on YouTube and it's such an old

ad that it's almost square. Remember when TV was 3x2 or whatever? You had to have a square TV. It was the Anker family. So in the 1990s, and this was a hugely successful advertising campaign. Gather round, children. Thank you. Is that me?

Gather round. Am I children? Grandfather's going to tell you a story. We used to turn off our Sega Mega Drives and watch the television. And there was an Anker family. And it was like this serial. It was like an ad. Yeah. It had a whole series

of stories. It was this family going through the trials and tribulations of the modern 1990s family. And there was like Sam, she was like the star of the show. Someone said they met Sam and she just had a crowd around her back in the day. It's an absolute A-class celebrity. Where's Sam? No idea. I did an anchor

ad once, a very small part on an anchor ad and I had to do that thing where you've got to present the product and I was sipping from a yoghurt pouch, you know, and you had to really deliver the brand to the thing. That was it. Did you tell them of your lactose intolerance? I didn't. Or did you just go home and suffer?

I said, any allergies? And my allergies are dairy. And I said, no. I'll suck your yoghurt pouch. It's killing me. I was going to say, how many more takes pouch How many more takes? How many more takes? Flesh Fauna Megan The podcast

There could be jewelry in there. There could be glasses in there. You never know. The only order, when this was in lockdown, I was ordering bulk wine every week. And we wouldn't want that chucked. It was heavy. One always broke.

My bulk wine purchases over lockdown. Oh, really? And I demanded the courier to floor suck And I demanded the curator to floor suck. I was out there. Floor suck. That's why you need to get goons delivered. They can't break. They're in a box.

Yeah, you'd have to pierce the sack. Yeah, it's hard to pierce the sack. And they stack very well, don't they? They do. Because they're square. They do. Well, we've got a bunch of packages in front of us, and we're going to make judgment calls of whether or not

these would survive a toss from the van to the door. We haven't been told what's inside them, have we? No. Producer Jared, you're going to go up a ladder. Yep, I'm very nervous. You've got a big ladder there. Watch your head on that light. Oh, health and safety.

That's right under the light. Now, should he be wearing a harness? Wait, this does not feel very health and safety. He is wearing a harness. Remember, how good is radio radio? It's so good. You can just make things up. He's up a two-story scaffold right now. Yes.

You can go higher. Actually, do go higher. I can go right to the top. Right to the top, please. These packages have got to be dropped from a height if we choose to drop them. So we've got five packages in here. Now, we're going decide nivon could you just test the floor microphone please could you just give me a test on that oh beautiful that's

beautiful yeah so that's the drop zone for the courier package yeah now uh executive intern anya has wrapped up five parcels uh five random parcels and so we don't know what's inside. No, and there's some little things in there to throw you off. Oh, okay. So we must decide if we would get out of our van and place this or if we'd chuck it. Yes. From the van. Okay. Okay, I'm going to grab the first package. Okay, do that.

Let's describe this package. I would say it looks like a box, like a big wine box. Yeah, it looks like it could have a bottle of Moet in it. It feels heavy to me. You have a feel of that. Well, if you're the courier and you're already shaking it. Well, okay, here's the other thing.

It doesn't say on here fragile or do not shake or this way up. So instantly, I'll probably chuck that. You'd chuck that? I would chuck that. Anna wouldn't have put fragile on chuck that And I wouldn't have put Fragile on this Because then we wouldn't Have chucked it

This is a blind test I'm going I wouldn't chuck that It feels heavy The box says to me Moet Yeah I wouldn't You wouldn't

I wouldn't chuck this Okay so two Not chuck Okay well let's Get it up there On the ladder there And if producer Jared If you could just

Chuck that courier package down. So imagine you were chucking it across the van onto the doorstep. Yeah. Oh, that sounded like it broke, didn't it? Executive Intuit, are you as face as I? It's like, I don't think I would have chucked that. All right, I'm going to open that. Okay, let's open up that courier package and see what's inside.

Okay, so it is a tripod kit. I think that might just be the box. I think that might be the box. I've been thrown off here. It's one of those classic things where mum sent something out of something else's box. Okay. I have in my hands a glass jar.

A carafe. A carafe. And it's in. How did the carafe survive? It's in one piece. Woo. So I was, do I get a point for that? I suppose you do because it was chuckable.

It was chuckable. It turns out this was chuckable. Although, I don't know if I would have, if you're a courier today and you're delivering something you suspect is glass, give that a toss. That'll work fine. Next package is, by the way, I'm in the lead 1-0. Well, okay.

Next package, there's a solid centre, but it's got like a cushioning around it, so I'd say toss. I would say no. I'd say that's too heavy to toss because I feel like there's... You tossed the carafe. You're not going to toss the soft.

The carafe was packaged better. I don't think that's chuckable. Feeling, I would... If I was the courier, I would feel the padding. I'd go, it's padded for a reason. I think it's bubble wrap. You wouldn't toss.

I would not toss. Okay, well, let's get that... I'd say hard centre, but I'd probably still give it a chuck. Not a huge chuck, but a bit of a chuck. Toss that out of the courier van. That sounded good! That was thuddy.

That was really thuddy. That was the definition of a thud. Did it survive? This is like Christmas for me. Let's get a fingernail's bolt. What is in that as well? See, I think the person that sent this wanted this to arrive in one piece. They've wrapped it

very tightly. Oh, okay. I have a fabric, something wrapped in a tea towel. Yes, and that's the... And it's wet. This is wet. What have we got? What have we broken? Oh, it's a. This is wet. What have we got? What have we broken? Oh, it's a carton of eggs. Courier's eggs.

Yes. Courier's eggs. So who said? Oh, shit. Hayley and I get a point, don't we? Yes. I chucked. Can I just say, it's a six pack of eggs, free range, of course. Oh, no.

And how many eggs survived that? None. Wow. That's a real gilly mess, isn't it? All right, next courier package up. This is... I can tell what that is just by feeling it. I would not throw it.

Oh, that's a wine glass. That's a wine glass. That's a wine glass. Yeah, I wouldn't throw it. But it might be funny to hear it break, so let's throw it off the ground. Do you know what, though? If you packaged a wine glass like that and sent it,

you deserve for it to be broken. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're asking for it. All right, chuck it. Yeah! We don't even need to open that one, Hayley. We don't even need, let's go to the next package. What's the sound of that package, by the way? Oh, yeah, that's broken, isn't it?

It's like the sound of Ace Ventura. But again, if I was a courier, I'd be like, well, that wasn't, I didn't package it. That was broken when it got to me. Oh, I don't know what, yeah, I'd chuck that because it's like a box, but it's pretty light and it feels like it's got something soft inside it. Yeah, I would 100% chuck this one. It's a square box. Almost looks like a board game box.

Yeah. But there's a bit of weight to it, producer Jared. It could be a sheet set. Yes. Thuddy again, though. Thuddy, but again, I think that is packaged well enough. Now... Yeah, they've put it in a box.

Yeah. Which is great. What are we? Ripping into this. Okay, it's well packaged, in fact. Inside is a jumper. Just a jumper. Just T-shirts.

Just T-shirts. Yeah, it's points all round. Points all round. Now, the last courier package we have here is... I would not throw this. It's too big. It's huge. If I got home and that person was waiting for me,

I would be very excited. It's a size 10 bag for anybody wondering. I'd be so excited to get this. Yeah. I would not chuck that. I think it's something... for anybody wondering. I'd be so excited to get this. Yeah. I would not chuck that. I think it's something. Oh, my gosh. Ceramic-y or something?

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to throw a wild card then. I'm going to biff it. I'd biff it. Get it off the ladder. But did you not feel the contents wobbling inside? It's so much.

How much do you weigh, Jared? 65-ish. Are you saying we should throw him? No, no. I was just going to say it's so heavy it's almost dragged him off the ladder sorry you mean the safe scaffolding yeah we have in studio i'm pretty colloquial all right chuck it oh i heard a sharp oh that was good that was good i don't think it's whatever it is i don't think whatever it is is broken is it too let's have a look

this package is here i'm fizzing as if this package is for me. Yeah, it's a big, it's an exciting sized box. A box, big bag. All right. Okay, inside. The reliable choice. What have we got? It's packaged in a box.

I will say the box is now damaged. So what's inside is heavy. Is it a brick or something called the absolute oh it's a laptop oh whose laptop is it you didn't tell us it's a laptop a bit's come off it it's a bro we broke the laptop oh Oh, it's just a dowel. Don't worry about it. Those are like five bucks. I think that's, I lost there, right?

Because I said I'd chuck it and it is broken. You did, you did. God, those dowels are bloody, a brick, aren't they? They really are. They are a brick, but it's still broke. Okay, there we go. So did you, you, I think you won there. I won.

Round of applause for Fletch, please. You should be a courier. I've got no patience. You could be a bicycle courier. Oh, no, those are too hard, those ones. They've always got good legs. Yeah, good legs, but they work really hard. They've got a pedal everywhere.

Yeah, they do. Can I be a line skier courier? Be a cheater. Get an e-bike. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Big day today. Yep.

Trump out Biden in The inauguration Of the 46th president Of the United States of America And We should have had A champagne breakfast

To celebrate or something Drinking problem And we need to talk About that again After the show Off air Just As a support

It's not an attack Jokes are only funny If they're not true. And on the ground at the inauguration, Anna Burns-Francis joins us via telecommunication. Hello. I wish I was having a champagne breakfast right about now, but it's the middle of the afternoon.

We see you can have a champagne. You get a hot toddy. It looks cold. It looks cold. I saw snow flurries today during some of the speeches. How cold is it? So we looked. We're like, oh, is there like some ash or something?

And then the Republican dude giving a speech on the stage was like, oh, of all the things I thought we were going to get to at this inauguration, I didn't think we'd have to contend with snow as well. And we're like, oh, we're not going outside at this point. We'll just stay in this tent. We've commandeered a tent that's free on the mall. There's a lot of empty tents. No one will mind.

Right. Now, how insane is security? Because 25,000 National Guard troops were posted around the perimeter, weren't they? Well, 25,000 minus the 12 that were found to have links to right-wing groups and got removed yesterday. Plus another 10,000 cops.

And there's actually some walking past me right now. There's a group of border patrol of some sort. So they got a whole bunch of just policemen of every kind here at the moment. And, of course, they closed down all the checkpoints at different stages on different days. So we would go to go somewhere that we'd been like a few hours earlier and they'd say, oh, no, you can't go through here anymore. So they shut down the motorways this morning that run under the mall.

So I was like, oh, I've only got two hours to get, you know, 20 minutes away sort of thing. And then they do like multiple checks. We've got secret service clearance. I don't know if that's going to be useful to me after tomorrow, but it feels pretty cool today. Wow. Because the reports you've been doing for One News,

after the Capitol riots and the storming of the Capitol, every time it looks like a video game or a post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. with the fences everywhere and the armed guards. Is it quite like an unusually spooky place to be? Or has it happened so gradually that you've been there that it just feels kind of semi-normal? No, it's crazy because I came down for that siege. And we were on the grounds in front of that Capitol as the tear gas was going off, looking at it going,

this is just nuts. And then to be here a week later and you can't get within a kilometre of where we just used to stand whenever we wanted to, it's so bizarre because there's no one around. You know, we were standing here this morning on the mall and you will sense the shots, I've got all those flags up, but there is no one around.

I can talk and yell, and no one will hear me except some guards several hundred metres away. You could hear a pin drop, other than the horrendous wind that's picked up and a bit of snow that's coming through. But it's just so bizarre to be here and there to be no one else here. They didn't even bother putting up speakers

for us to hear the speech. We've just watched it on TV as we've stood in front of this enormous building off in the distance. It's really weird. Well, they didn't need any speakers because there's no crowd. So when is it expected to sort of go back to normal there? So, okay, they've closed off everything until January the 24th

because we had heard that there was going to be a protest today. One guy turned up on the other side of the building and he's really disappointed because he said he drove for 45 minutes. I'm like, how long is this going to get to a checkpoint? Try harder than that. So one person, because they did think that there were going to be some people who impersonated National Guard because, you know, you see a lot of those right-wing groups,

they do dress in a lot of camo or they're former military, they've got all the gear. So you can sort of get a bit confused if you're looking around at them. So they're keeping everything shut down for a couple more days. But I think, you know, the security around the White House, because it's where the president lives, it's normally pretty high anyway. And they'll probably just keep it the same sort of level it was because of the time that we had over the last year with all those BLM protests. And there'd been quite a lot of, you know, aggressiveness towards President Trump. They already had a lot of, you know, aggressiveness towards President Trump.

They already had a lot of White House fences up and things like that. So there was a bit of off-limits stuff anyway and DC has sort of has become semi-normal. It must have been a truly humbling experience for Lady Gaga to perform to absolutely no one. It's good to bring her down a notch, you know. Take her down a peg.

You bring her up by saying, will you sing the national anthem at the inauguration? And you say, no one's going to listen, though. No one's there. I did see someone tweet, wasn't it nice of Joe Biden to turn up to a Lady Gaga concert? Private concert. Very true. And then you got J-Lo for...

Special, I don't know. So everyone went inside, and then those two came back out, J-Lo and Lady Gaga, and started taking selfies on this completely empty Capitol. You had all the little fold-out plastic chairs, all two at a time, spaced out. Oh, that's a photo to remember. Oh, we'd better see those uploaded. Well, we'll let you get back to the freezing cold before,

I don't know, staying awake all day and doing a cross back to one years at your midnight. Can't wait. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that Dolly Parton and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have the same birthday. They do.

Dolly Parton turned 75 this week and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have the same birthday. They do. Dolly Parton turned 75 this week and Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned 40. Is that right? Yeah, I think it was 40. Right. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The actress. No, no, no. The character.

Oh, right. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was like, okay. I think Sarah Michelle Gellar would be older than 40. Yeah, probably. Now. But the reason, and do you know why they have the same birthday?

It's no coincidence. Sarah Michelle Gellar's 43. Okay. So she was playing someone slightly younger than her or thereabouts. It's no coincidence as Dolly Parton

is also an unnamed executive producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I did know this. Yeah. As a little weird tidbit of information. So if you didn't know that before Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I did know this. Yeah. As a little weird tidbit of information. So if you didn't know that before Buffy the Vampire Slayer

was a very successful cult, it reached cult status TV series. Yeah. It was a movie in the very early 1990s. Luke Perry, who I forgot had passed away. Oh, that's right. He was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the movie. And Dolly Parton's Sandola Entertainment

was a production company involved in the original movie. So thus meaning that when it came to making the TV show, Sandola Entertainment had a stake in, no pun intended, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So Dolly Parton actually had nothing to do with it, but they did give Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So Dolly Parton actually had nothing to do with it, but they did give Buffy the Vampire Slayer the same birthday as Dolly Parton as a homage to the woman who kind of financially backed it. Because her friend that started this production company with her in 1986

was the brains behind the operation and Dolly was the money. Right. So she gave the money that then gave this person the ability to start a production company that then funded and produced Buffy the Vampire Slayer the movie, thus having an ownership in the character. So when the TV show got made, Buffy

had a connection to Dolly Parton. She's Miley's godmother. Is that right? Dolly Parton. And you remember at the end of last year she gave a million dollars to one of the coronavirus vaccine research companies? She's amazing. Yeah. There's a podcast called Dolly Parton's America.

It is so good. It's a fascinating story of her life. Yeah, she's such an amazing woman. And she gives money away left, right and centre all the time. She gave some to the Australian Fire Relief as well. She's given millions and millions and millions of dollars to help kids read. Yes, Dolly Parton. Because where she grew up, kids just didn't read.

In the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee, kids just didn't read. So she counted herself very lucky. Good on her. Yeah. She's an angel. She's a saint. She should be given one of them sainthoods. She should.

She's performed many miracles. So today's fact of the day is Dolly Parton and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have the same birthday. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Last day for the president yesterday, Donald Trump, and he can pardon people. I heard of a presidential pardon, but I didn't know you could just be like, yep, you're out.

Yep, done. Apparently it's quite a common thing for presidents to do just before they leave is sort of these 11th hour pardons. So that it can't affect their... No, it's just basically like, you know, like spending up all your leave before you quit a job or something. Right, right. I think Obama's on record as having the most pardons for any president.

But he pardoned a lot of people that were in prison for silly little drug charges. Yeah. You don't pardon murderers normally. No, no, no, no. Wrongfully accused people, people with petty crimes that are serving huge sentences. Yeah, all those kind of, they've had a few strikes and so they're in prison for, I don't know, robbing a car and they've been in there 20 years.

Yeah. You know, and it's- Stealing drugs. Exactly, yeah. Marijuana and then ending up in prison because it was their third strike. So 73 people were pardoned by Donald Trump, including Steve Bannon. Who was like- He and a couple of others fundraised to build the wall

and then spent all the money on like boats and stuff. Personal expenses and stuff for themselves. That's how stupid Trump supporters are. Oh, wow. I thought Steve Bannon was going to drop dead years ago. He looks like he's a heart attack away from... He just looks like he's a set of stairs away from a heart attack.

He does not look well. It's freezing cold and he looks sweaty and. Yeah. He does not look well. Like, it's freezing cold and he looks like sweaty and flustered. He also pardoned a fundraiser who also pled guilty last year to violating foreign lobbying laws. Right. The former Detroit mayor who was serving more than 20 years in prison

for using his positions as an elected official to conduct extortion, bribery and fraud. Does he have to explain why he believes they should be pardoned or is he just like, pardon, pardon, pardon, pardon? I think they do. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's a good question. I don't know. How did he manage to get these all out in the last sort of minute?

Well, that's why you do them the day before. Yeah, no questioning. There's no questioning the next day you're on a plane. These are my final wishes, goodbye. Yeah. Lil Wayne? Yeah. He got pardoned. So he had a gun in his bag and drugs. And he went to check in

at the airport and they were like, you can't bring a gun. A gold plated gun. I don't care who you are. That thing is not coming. It's gold plated. Because he was facing

10 years. Yeah. So he got pardoned. Yeah. So there's a whole lot of pardons. Someone that didn't get a pardon who was really expecting a pardon. Oh, this is so embarrassing.

They had hired a limousine that was parked just down the road from the prison they were in. They had a banner. Yeah. They had a banner up in the car park. It said, you know, Joe Exotic, a makeup artist. His whole team were already celebrating. A hairdresser.

Yeah. And he found out he's remaining in prison for perhaps the entirety of his sentence. Joe Exotic did not get the presidential pardon. Yeah, because he was inciting to murder Carole Baskin with a hire to kill plot and everything. Yeah. And animal cruelty. Yeah, and it was well documented.

Very well documented. And a Netflix show. That we all had to watch because we were locked in our houses. Yeah. Classically, he counted his tigers before they'd hatched. Yes. He thought he was out. He thought he was home and hosed. There was no proof that he was going to be. He just had a hunch and he counted his chickens before

that hatched. He was like that person at like a marathon or a running race and the tape's across the finish line and they're just slowly putting their hands up and someone sprints behind them. I hate watching that. I hate it. I hate it. It's, oh no.

I love it. That stretch limousine was like a hummusine. It was huge. It was like a pickup. Yeah. It had like a tray on the back like he was going to pick up

some farm stuff on the way home. That poor driver as well because he sat there for like 24 hours waiting for these pardons and then just had to, oh okay, start the ignition.

And who's paying for that? Because Joe Exotic famously has no money. No money? I don't know. His bank run. Netflix. His husband, start the ignition. And who's paying for that? Because Joe Exotic famously has no money. No money? Yeah. I don't know. He's bankrupt. Netflix. His husband, that Dylan dude?

They probably had a Netflix crew in there as well. They probably did, yeah. Netflix are like, oh, God, how are we going to recover from this? They probably would have paid for it. Yeah. So we want to know this morning if you've ever counted your chickens before that hatched. Like, when did you think it was a sure thing?

Yeah, maybe you started celebrating something. Yeah. Yeah? No, it didn't't happen it didn't end up happening oh i've got it organizing a party and then you have to call it all off tell her to bugger off home oh well what happened what did you uh i was on hold for a job it was an ad actually we've been talking about ads all morning i was on hold for a job and it was big money. And so I was fresh out of drama school. Oh, no, you didn't spend the money before. I mentally and partly physically spent the money because everyone was like, it's you.

You've got the part. And then I didn't get it. And I had to crawl back all of that. How is this for a future new story that I've just stumbled across? Talking about... You sound like you've had a champagne breakfast. Now thing, they chuck it on before they've hatched. Yes. The W sound like you've had a champagne breakfast. Now thing the chickens before they've hatched. Yes. The Wiggles, you know

how they come in for a show? Yes. A massive tour. In March? In mid-March 2021. I'm fizzing. They, however, never confirmed that they could get into New Zealand. They weren't granted border exemption or managed isolation quarantine slots. Oh, but they will

be. It still hasn't been confirmed that they have. They counted their chickens before they hatched. They didn't do the admin before they got to do the chugging in their car. If Chris Hempkins and Ainsley Bloomfield, Ashley Bloomfield, because we've got Ainsley standing by to talk to, if they know what's good for them and their popularity, then you will let the wiggles in.

Let the wiggles in. Because I didn't even know that you had to book your quarantine hotel, that you have to wait for slots to be open. I thought it was like, just put me somewhere, please. I'm here now. No, you've got to book a slot. Yeah, and if you can't get one, you can't come. We talked to the Wiggles at the end of last year

when they announced this, and they were in quarantine in Australia. Had they just been touring in a state? Yeah, they were doing interstate quarantine. Yeah, so it's not like they wouldn't be used to doing it. No. They'd have to have like a ball pit. Well, they've counted their chickens before they've hatched.

They've booked a whole tour. Like Joe Exotic, who had the limousine last night ready for his presidential pardon. The hair and makeup, the camera crews, and it didn't happen. So we want to know from you when you've counted your chickens before they've hatched, maybe like the Wiggles. Ainsley, what happened? For my 25th last year, I brought all of my staff,

my dresses, everything. I had about 30 family members flying in. Yeah. I crashed it for it. And lockdown happened two days before. So I've still got everything and no party. Oh, you're just waiting. But that, I mean, that wasn't really your fault.

It's not like you, I mean, we did know that there could be a lockdown. I mean, still there could be a lockdown at any stage. I know. I mean, I've had three friends cancel weddings because of COVID. Yeah, right. So then a 21st isn't too much. A 21st, oh, you'll be all right. I mean, just wear the dress, drink the wine, stuff.

No. You don't need them. Or just have a delayed 21st. I mean, it could be 24 by the time, you know, the vaccine's working. Ones are easy to turn into fours. Exactly. You put a triangle on the side. I was thinking 21 plus one, like this much,

but my parents are stuck in Melbourne, so. Oh, okay, so maybe the 23rd birthday. Look, keep us informed. Nine, you could put a nine, you could just put a little circle on the top. 29. 29. 29, I'll do that.

Enjoy that in eight years. Ainsley, thanks for your call. Some other people that had counted their chickens before they'd hatched. I was at a sporting event, the end of year awards. I was convinced I was receiving an award. When they were reading it out, they were reading out the players' accomplishments. It kind of married up to what I'd accomplished, so I stood up.

And then they said somebody else's name. I would die if that was me. I would very quickly go to the toilet. That's what they did. They walked out said somebody else's name. I would die if that was me. I would very quickly go to the toilet. That's what they did. They walked out and went to the toilet. I thought you were going to say they were at a sporting game, counting their chickens. They're like, oh, there's 15 minutes to go. We've won this. I'm going to get to the car before

everybody else. And then something amazing happens. And they turn on the radio and they're like, what? How did that happen? It was the best game we've ever seen. Someone said, I was very vocal going into the last season of Game of Thrones that it would continue to be the best show ever made. I think that was all of us. Nah, because remember,

the last couple of seasons, there was a bit of a slip. They rushed. They went out on their own. They weren't following the text. Yeah, 4, 5, 6 was a sweet spot. Yeah. And then 6, 7, 8,

when it started to fall to bits. We had a family friend who thought they'd won Lotto. On the Sunday he told his boss to get effed. Told him how much

he hated it. They started hammering the credit card on the idea that they'd get paid off as soon as the money came through. Booked his flights

to Wellington to the Lotto office and it turns out he'd misread one of his numbers. He had his tail between his legs. I wonder

how many times that happens at the lotto office with an old ticket from another drawer or week. And you walk with your chest all puffed

and you slam it down on the counter. I'll be taking $40 million, thank you. You'll be taking second division. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan
