Oh god I went to a comedy show once and someone was a hickler. I was like, what are you doing? Oh, don't you just want to go there and give them a slap? Yeah. Come on, man. You just like, yeah. Book your own time to get up there and have a go. Yeah.

Try some open mic nights. But that's the night. I have not yet looked at the Mexican restaurant menu. Oh, it's just a standard. You know what you're going to get. The margaritas are delish. Sizzling fajita platter. Yeah, they do that. Good. it's just a standard. You know what you're going to get. The margaritas are delish. Sizzling fajita platter? Yeah, they do that.

Good. That's what I want. I am a fan of the enchiladas. They do a moly sauce. And you're all about the moly sauce. And the baked cheese. Oh, it's delicious, yeah. Garlic.

Oh, yeah. The jugs are small, though. They get you. Yeah. They get you there. And they fill full of ice, too. Ask for it blended. Not what? Ask for it blended. Rather than shock shock. Yeah. They get you there and they fill them with ice too. Ask for it blended. Not what?

Ask for it blended. Rather than shook, shook. Yeah. Shaken, shook. Okay, so that's Mexican tonight. ZM. The music lives here. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. Happy Friday morning. Morning. We made it. What have you, what is this on the desk, Vaughan? That's the spine deck. Spine deck. You lie on that.

Did you bring that in? Is that your... Oh, yeah. I've got a sore lower back at present. Oh, okay. And that's a good... It, like, stretches it out. Where did you get this from?

It's quite the apparatus. Sade bought it... I think she got targeted advertising on Facebook when she had a sore back. They really knew. They knew. They knew. They knew they were onto a sucker. But it does actually, it is actually pretty good.

I'm going to give it a try. Yeah, you lie on the ground. That's the best part about it. I fell asleep on it yesterday. It's like something your nana would have at her home. Yeah, it is. 100%. Like a mobility assist device or something.

Yeah. Yeah, nice. But I've got bad news. Yep. We're all turning into our grandparents. It's all the downhill slide, isn't it? Maybe you need a good massage today. Treat yourself. I was thinking

about that. I was thinking about that. Popping along. Oh yeah. But then I also put some of that orange, you know that orange rub that I got put onto that time? That OMR? Organic muscle rub or something? Oh yeah, it's at the pharmacy. So this orange stuff is so good.

Is that the stuff where you've got to be careful you don't go to the toilet or itch your balls? It's not as bad as deep heat. But it's nice and it works on you. So I fell asleep on that thing with the orange rub on. Oh, okay. When I got up, I thought I was a hundie. A new man.

Yeah. And then later on, the orange stuff reactivated itself. And I thought I'd like shit myself. I thought a whole lot of things were going on because I forgot about the orange rub for a while. Because it heats up again. Yeah, it heats up again. Like I might have, I don't know,

pooped or something. Hell of an afternoon in the Smith House, guys. Yeah. The top six is coming up and there's a big problem with truancy. Yeah. Some 60,000 children are regularly truant

from school. So I've got the top six ways to get them back to school. Also coming up on the show at eight o'clock this morning, Anticart. It's our celebrity Anticart today.

And we've really scraped the bottom of the barrel with our celebrities today on a Friday. PJ. Oh, Al. Should we hear about that? We're still just hurting that she didn't invite us to her engagement party last weekend. We went to rig her, didn't we?

Went to rig her engagement. And then someone who's as empathetic as PJ couldn't stop thinking about how offended we were and how we might not be a friend anymore. When really we probably wouldn't have gone anyway. That's what I was going to say. You wouldn't have gone. Someone down, this is a woman in Brisbane. She's come up with a clever hack for the supermarket to stop you overspending.

And it saves you getting out the calculator. Is it avoiding the lolly aisle? That's what my mum did. You skip the biscuit aisle. Yeah. Temptation. But I thought, and I still haven't done it, but I always thought that would be the good part about ordering online.

I always, every time I turn up there, I'm like, why didn't I order online and just pick it up? Do a collect, yeah. Always forget. No, but see, I always buy fruit and veggies. I don't want some bloody part-time student packing my bananas. Oh, yeah, you're a real. You know, like, what if he gives me one with a bruise or an apple with a smaller apple?

I want a bigger apple. Right. You're very particular about your fruit. Maybe he gets mushrooms that are too dirty. You can specify, right? So you can be like, I want green bananas and I want like six.

Can you? I think so. Oh, okay. Because I remember saying to someone that that was my problem and they said you can specify. So you could probably say

large rose apples. I just can't justify ordering online because literally by the time I've sat down at my computer, picked it all, I could have just walked

a hundred metres to the supermarket and done it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. It's close there. Totally. So this is a hack to, yeah, stop overspending because, you know, like, you always get extras

and then you get to the checkout and you're like, oh my God, that's way more, like, way more than you should have spent. And I can never, because some people were like, oh, just put that one to the side, I won't get that anymore.

But I'm too embarrassed to do that. I saw a couple, no, see, I'm not, because some people were like, oh, just put that one to the side. I won't get that anymore. But I'm too embarrassed. I saw a couple. No, see, I'm not. I'm like that. I saw a couple yesterday and they had the calculators, everything they were buying. Yeah. They'd put it in the calculator. So I guess they knew when they could stop spending.

But whereas if I'm at the checkout, if I had a maximum, I'd just put it on the side in the chewing gum area. Oh, you're that person. When I'd reached enough, yeah. It's like some shaved side in the chewing gum area when I've reached enough There's like some shaved ham in the chewing gum The deli stuff's always more expensive than you think I know $800 for it

You say an amount, I always say an amount like a price, I want $5 worth of that And then they pop in like one potato cube Mayonnaise potato cube Delicious The smell of an egg This actually And then they pop in like one potato cube. Mayonnaise potato cube. Delicious. Yeah. Thanks.

And the smell of an egg. Yeah. This actually gets rid of the need for a calculator too. Okay. So if you're usually going around using your calculator, this will save you. So this woman in Brisbane, she puts her groceries in little sections of $10. So as she's going along, she'll be like, okay, well, there's a pineapple

and there's salami, for instance, in her trolley. That's a little $10 section. How much salami is she buying? It's one of those, not like a pre-cut one, an actual big stick. Oh, yeah, okay. And, yeah, so she can look in the trolley and go $10, $20, $30, $40. Okay, $50, I've got like, I don't know, $10, $20 more. She can quickly add up.

That's a good idea. Exactly. So you don't get carried away. Yep. If you're walking through the supermarket and you want to treat yourself and you're like, well, no, I can see I've already got $50 there. Right. And yeah, save the need for a calculator.

Just section out areas in the trolley. Right, your $10 piles. Roughly $10 piles, yeah. Yeah, or if you're just over $8, put the salami in the chewing gum chocolate bar. Just section out areas of the trolley. Right, your $10 piles. Roughly $10 piles, yeah. Yeah, or if you're just over $8, put the salami in the chewing gum chocolate bar and then just pretend you don't know whose that is. Supermarket workers love that. Oh, they love that. Love it.

They love it. Supermarkets love it too because they can't put that back. They do. Or can they? They do. They put it back. A wrapped, air-sealed salami, surely they can. Oh, yeah. Yeah. As long as you feel it, it's still cold, chuck put it back. A wrapped, a wrapped, yeah, sealed salami. Surely they can. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. As long as you feel it, it's still cold. Chuck it back in. But a warm potato salad? Probably not. No. Probably not, nah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

There is a article about bluffing your way through life and how it should be seen as a skill and a skill that should be taught in schools. Fake it till you make it. Yeah, fake it till you make it. I've been a big fan of that. Same. Through my entire life.

That's why I got my job with you guys. But I'm a big fan of faking till you're making. Yeah. Bluffing your way through. But then when I don't like it when you see people who are obviously bluffing their way through, trying to say they're not. You know, like I'm seeing a lot

of your motivational people, your outspoken experts on the area of certain bits and pieces and they pop up on the internet and you're like, oh no, you're just doing what I do. But you're lying

more. You've tripled down on the lie of faking it till you're making it. You're trying to teach other people how to, but you don't even really know how. Because you don't have the experience. No. Like it's one thing to bluff your way through a job and say you can do some things. Yeah.

Some things. Exactly. But not pretend to be an expert on something. Yeah, totally. And like businesses with like older management lap it up when some young person's like, I can tell you how to interact with younger people or what they're thinking.

And they're like, nom, nom, nom, nom, tell us, tell us, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. And they're just lying to them and there's something satisfactory about that. But at the same time, maybe it's just I'm just a bit like this because I'm too jealous to, I'm too lazy to go about that, but at the same time, maybe it's just I'm just a bit like this because I'm too jealous to,

I'm too lazy to go out and do it properly. Yeah. But experts from a university in Canada gave students, a student group, a list of words or phrases. Some were made up and they were asked to give a definition on the spot. And the most intelligent students were able to just kind of like bluff it with a sort of assurity of themselves. So they're almost saying if people are able to just kind of like bluff it with a sort of a surety of themselves. So they're almost saying if people are able to successfully bluff it through life, they're actually quite smart.

Liars is what they're... I mean, that's something short of saying liars, but these people are lying. But then that is a skill though, isn't it? To be able to do that. That's the gift of the gab. Yeah. Yeah, like run off some kind of explanation. Yeah, to fake it till you make it or to

stall it until you can give the correct answer. Yeah. Alright, next on the show. You got hiccups? Yeah, I do. What's caused that? I don't know. It's only ever when I eat hot food I got. I get hiccups. Was it a fizzy drink for me? No. I don't know what it was.

No, because I had my coffee before. Did you guzzle it too much? I think I was hunched over. I don't know. You were hunched? It was your posture that triggered it? I think it was my posterior posture. You need to lie on the spine deck.

Have a lie on the spine deck. It'll probably get rid of it. It'll open up the diaphragm. How fortuitous. You bought the spine deck today. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

From the sophisticated ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Today's Top Six. The Top Six ways to get the chronically truant back into school. Apparently 60,000 children are chronically truant from school. And it's a pretty serious issue. It's very sad because a lot of it is the kids

would probably love to go to school, but the parents in a lot of cases would be working so hard and at different jobs or maybe the parents are just useless. And the kids, I mean, that's a minority. Or remember last year in lockdown, like lots of high school students just got jobs

and then were just earning money for the family so they could survive and didn't go back. And that's what we learnt right from a couple of cases of when COVID got back into the community. There were high school kids who had to work and they found if they didn't, and that was

actually really sad. So MOE, Ministry of Education figures show that 60,000 students are classified as chronically absent, missing at least three days of school every two weeks. Wow. And 40% of pupils are

not going to school regularly. You know, back in our day, you'd have to take a note, hey? From mum or dad. Do you get a text now? You get get a notification like, your child, Indy that's just an example, isn't at school. Please ring the office with an explanation.

And it's like, so it must just do the roll and when that gets taken back to the office there must be a computer program that just spits every parent. So even if you miss one class I think it's at Indy's age and August's age, it's in the. Wow. So even if you miss one class, you just like, well like, I think it's, at Indy's age, it's,

and August's age, it's in the morning and after lunch. So there's two chances. But if you take your kid out of school, you've got to like sign them out on a computer so that it would negate

that message being sent out. God, because I tell you what, we'd always go to show sponsor, McCafe, because they did free refills of hot chocolates.

If we didn't like a class, we'd just go down for the hour. Right. Sneak out. Get one hot chocolate. Yeah, and then just sit there and drink. Free refills of hot chocolate. Now, this is in the late 90s, and McCafe, I don't think do that. Was it a McCafe or was it just a McDonald's? I think it was just a McDonald's. It was just a McDonald's.

But I don't think they do that deal now. No, they cotton on. It's long gone, that deal. Yeah. I don't even remember bottomless hot chocolates. There was, Megan. It was a great time. Oh, that when dinosaurs roamed. Yep, yep. Well, that deal. Yeah. I don't even remember bottomless hot chocolates. There was, Megan. It was a great time. Back when dinosaurs roamed. Yep, yep.

Well, that's it. You had to be careful walking back to school that a T-Rex didn't take you. Yeah, because they could smell the hot chocolate on your brain. They could smell the marshmallows.

They were like, you wouldn't move, they couldn't see, but they could still smell the marshmallows. Little known fact that T-Rexes had a passion for marshmallows.

Huge fan. They did. Sure, they did. It's because they had little hands. Yeah. Rawr! They had them on the fingers,

they'd roast them on the fire. On their nails. Yeah. That's from a deleted scene of Jurassic Park. Yep. The top six ways to get kids back to school. Number six on the list, TikTok classes. But basically, so it's just like a dance class or like PE.

Yep. And there's like learning the routines and everything, but just remarket it, guys. Put a TikTok. Yeah, yeah. We're going to work on a TikTok routine. You do chemistry. You can actually do chemistry TikTok and just do explosions.

And then surprise, you've just learned and you've got some credits. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Tricked you into learning. And you've gone viral.

Number five on the list of the top six ways to get kids back to school. More adventurous adventure playgrounds. Yeah. Like ones that you could lose your fingers in or break a leg on. Yeah, or one that nowadays you'd need one of those abseiling harnesses for safety. Yeah.

And you put it on the guide thing and up you go. Imagine if your school had the Margaret Mahey playground, like the one in Christchurch. Oh, madness. How fun would lunch times be? Madness. You just thinking how you could ruin that? We had a pretty loose adventure playground.

The dads built it. Oh, yeah. Of course they did. And so it wasn't like anything other than these massive old telephone poles in the ground, and then they built platforms at different heights. Like, kids fell down the fireman pole and all sorts of things. Is that still around now? I don't know.

I'm just trying to think. Probably not. At my primary school. Doubtful. Maybe it got replaced or at least cut in half. There's probably a soft cushion now. No, it's still bark.

Oh, right out. Yeah, rural kids bounce when they hit the ground. Number four on the list of the top six ways to get kids back to school, a lolly to start the day. But it's a vitamin.

Or one of those gummy vitamins. Yeah, we just tricked those kids into taking their vitamins. So they're healthier, but they went for the lolly. Gotcha. Number three on the list of the top six ways to get kids back to school. Minecraft or Roblox class. Oh, yeah. Yeah, a bit of coding in there too.

You could get them to go, you know, in the, what do they call it? The back end of the program and reprogram it. Do some mods. Yeah. Some hacks. And kids will do anything to get half an hour on Roblox. Well, mine will anyway. Number two on the list of the top six ways to get kids back to school.

If they get a detention, it's in a float tank. So they have a bit of actual time. Self-reflection time. Yeah, self-reflection. Lovely. You know, the other senses are dulled. Yeah. They have just a bit of time with themselves, you know,

which is probably what a lot of them need. Yeah. But a quiet time of self-reflection in private. And number one on the list of the top six ways to get kids back to school, pizza party Fridays and Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesdays. Wednesdays and probably Thursdays as well. I don't know if that's going to do anything for our health epidemic.

Yeah. The obesity epidemic. We could do some cauliflower bases or something. Kids famously love a cauliflower-based keto pizza. Yeah. That's today's top six. On Monday's podcast. RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under.

The latest contestant eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Fantastic news from my home province of Taranaki yesterday. Statistics from NIWA, the neat... Neat individuals of weather... Accuracy. Awesomeness. Acclimation. Yeah. Accuracy. Awesomeness. Acclamation.

Yeah. Nobody actually knows. National Institute of Weather and Atmospheric, I believe. Pressure. You're like, no one knows what it is. It's national. No one knows what I'm able to do. Nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd. I'm a nerd, but I did get quite a few questions on the chase last night.

I'll tell you who did it. The Beast. He got smoked. 62,000 pounds. I almost messaged you.. I'll tell you who did it. The Beast. He got schmoked. 62,000 pounds. I almost messaged you. I was like, you better be watching. He's getting a baker. Oh, you know Bourne's always watching the chase.

He's getting a baker. Well, Taranaki has enjoyed 1,123 hours of sunshine so far this year, and that is the most in the entire country. Taking away from spots like the Hawke's Bay, the Bay of Plenty, Nelson Marlborough, who are normally, you know, the sunniest places. Don't put Nelson and Marlborough together because we have an age-old rivalry. I know, you do.

So they're a little bit higher, but still the same kind of top of the south, right? Same old white people. So coming in at second place The Bay of Plenty With 1090 hours So that's still like Second place Yeah second place

And not even Where's Nelson? Marlborough was the third place Or actually no sorry Second equal tied With Marlborough At 1090 Can I ask

How they do this? Sorry 1090 So they've got a little thing at the airport. And it's like a solar panel, and it can tell when the direct sunlight's on and it's not cloudy. I'd say so. Or it's got some sort of spectrum of some area of the sky. Yeah, I'm sure.

I don't actually know, to be honest. Because when they talk about sunlight hours, I'm like, so someone stands there and they've got a stopwatch, and they're like, okay, clouds have cleared and started again. And clouds are back still. No, I think that the sensors on their weather, so someone stands there and they've got a stopwatch and they're like, okay, clouds have cleared and start again. And clouds are back still. No, I think that the sensors on the weather machines can tell when there's sun. So it's only at a very specific point. Yeah, but then every...

I'm just saying maybe we need to move our receptacle in the wake up though. People in Nelson are like, oh, it's at the airport and, you know, it's always windier. It's always rainier at the airport. Everyone always makes that. Yeah. So after the Bay of Plenty in Marlborough, the Hawke's Bay was in third place or fourth. 1,058 hours. But Nelson, I don't know how many hours Nelson's had.

It must be a cloudy old time. Yeah, it must have been a bit cloudy. But yeah, Taranaki, wow. And people on the news last night are absolutely stoked. Yeah, this is so far this year. Yeah, it's May. Early days. It's May.

Yeah, but this is... Nelson's just working up to it. But that summer and autumn, that's fantastic. We've got another summer yet. I mean, that doesn't mean that the mountain was visible for 1,123 hours. No. Because you can have a beautiful day in the Naki and still not see

the lovely, beautiful Mong. Well, congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations to you. It's a beautiful region. Megan's all sceptic. I mean, historically, Nelson and Marlborough win this. You're just going off one year.

I want to know what's changed. Is it a climate change situation? Oh, I don't know.'s changed. Is it a climate change situation? I don't know. Maybe it's the lack of tourists in Nelson. What? What are you talking about? They blow away the clouds today. When you land in Nelson as an international visitor, you've got to blow in a certain direction towards the mountains.

All the French tourists, the cloud just evaporates around them. The problem is now we're entering the time of the year where my home region goes into a foggy mist for about six months. Yeah. So we'll see you in spring. Well, yeah, well, I mean, if there's a mist record, you could be out there. Oh, my God.

Well, the Waikato would smash the fog. In fact, I would like to know if there's any research by the people at the NEAT International Weather Association on fog hours in the Waikato because I doubt we'd be beaten. It just settles in around April, May and then it won't leave until sort of late September. I've Googled.

Hamilton is the foggiest city in New Zealand. Towns that are foggier include Tomoranui, Reefton. Reefton? Yeah. I wouldn't have expected a west coast of the South Island to have that much fog. But Tolmanunui, yeah, that thing's a hole.

Both literally and poetically. Although a story in 2005 had Wellington displacing Hamilton as the fond capital of New Zealand, with Air New Zealand confirming more flights. Really? I would have thought that the wind would have taken care of that. Fascinating. Weather chat. But you're not going to attract tourism with fog hours, are you?

No. It doesn't quite have the same ring as sunlight hours. Well, you could have the billboard at the you know, like Nelson has the sun. Well, no, you'd never see the billboard driving to be covered in fog. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM, Fletch Vaughan and Megan, it's six minutes away from seven.

Hey, listen up, she. Because executive intern Anya's got the inside word. Oh, what could it be? We've got absolutely no idea. But here she is with the inside word. I don't know about this. She hasn't run this past us. No, she hasn't.

I don't think people were surprised when she had this anonymous source that said avocados were going up in price. We all know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We all know that avocados go up in price. Up and down they go. That's a yearly fluctuating cycle. Wow, wow. Someone's sounding ungrateful for some tea.

Yeah. Okay. So this is more tea, is it? This is more tea. Okay. Okay. Again, I can't reveal my sources or names and accounts. We would ask you to, okay.

Thank you. Thank you for respecting spy work. You know when you get a carrot flower? No. You know when you get a carrot flower at a restaurant? You go to like a Thai restaurant and they cut a carrot into a flower. Traditionally Thai, occasionally other restaurants too, you get a carrot flower. Or sometimes like something real flash.

Yep. I have it on good authority that at one specific restaurant, at least, they reuse them and dip them in water. And apparently this, I'm worried, me. It's common practice amongst other venues. Oh, what? To be fair, if I had to spend an hour carving a flower out of a carrot, I would 100% just wash it under the tap. Surely it's a, they wouldn't do it if it took that long.

I just don't, it must be an easy skill once acquired. I assumed it would be a bladed machine. No. That they just go like a stamp. There are definitely some people that do it just with a little knife. But yeah, it's an acquired skill. That's not allowed. Yeah.

How do you pass your health and safety rating? I was going to say, having run a cafe, Megan, what exactly is the rule or not? Washing something under the tap and putting it back on the plate. I mean, that definitely wouldn't be done on the day that the council goes around. That's for sure. Yeah. I've just looked at how it's done.

Yeah. It's not actually that hard. It might take a couple of minutes per carrot, but you just get like a thick disk of carrot. Yeah. And then you start at the bottom on the side and you put a little nick and you push it down a little bit and then you work your way around and then you go up and you do halfway between that one on the next layer. Right.

And you're always pushing it down and folding it down so then when it gets to the top one, it can really like fold open. But still. I always thought that was just what boomers say. They're like, don't eat the little garnish because they recycle it. People don't do that anymore, do they? Shade always says to me, Vaughan, garnish is not for eating. I'm like, I love parsley.

And it's good for you. Everything on the plate. Vaughan has to lick his plate. I'm paying, baby. I'm eating it all. This is absolutely shocking. I know. How did you come across?

We don't want to know your source, but can we trust your source? The source can be trusted. And the source engaged with other sauces, and it may have been verified. Oh, my God. I feel like this should be front page of the Herald. Have you run this upstairs? This is absolutely atrocious.

I know, and then I felt the fool for eating the carrot flour. I always eat the carrot. Do you eat it? I have eaten the carrot flour. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Okay, next time, we've all got to agree,

everybody who is part of this show, listeners, everybody, if you're not going to eat it, at least cut it in half so they can't use it again. Damage it beyond repair so it can't be reused. I'd rather not have it on the plate

than have it if it's been on somebody else's. I'm actually shooketh. Here's what you could do. Like hollow out underneath with your knife. Yeah. Slip a little note in there. Say this was on my plate, date time. Yeah.

Seal it back up with a plug and carrot. Here's my phone number. Call me. Yeah. Here's a plug. Discuss further carrot flower issues. And then see if somebody bites into it and they're like, what's this? It's a note from a previous diner.

That's actually. Can you actually do that? Absolutely. Trust me, you'll do that. You need to have a certain knifemanship to be able to do that. I will take a set of scalpels. Precision surgery scalpels. And those little hooked tools that they use for carving. Yes.

Make your initial incision and then cut it out. Yeah. Yep. Okay. I'll plug it back up. Okay, well, there you go. You've been warned. Great inside word.

You could put a toothpick through to hold the lid in, so then when they bite, they're definitely going to feel the toothpick, which would lead them to discover the note. Yes. Because otherwise they might just swallow the whole note. Good. And then imagine finding a note in your poos. That'd be...

I don't know if it would go that far. I don't know if it would go that far. Yeah, it'd probably dissolve on the way there. That's yuck. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. I know I'm not the only one.

Well, it's our segment where we are trying to find you. Usually we talk before that little intro thing, but Fletch is buying alcohol online. Oh, and excuse me. And I know you're like, wow, this is the segment. Just completely glaze over that. I decided to run the song into the segment because it sounded like a hot mix.

No, no, it was purely by mistake. Doesn't Vaughn sing at the start of it too? I've run out of gin. Leave me alone. We try to find you comfort in this segment. I hope I'm not the only one. Maybe you do something and you think, God, am I the only person that does this?

Well, we meet Rachel this morning. Good morning, Rachel. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, thank you. All right, so. I just want to stop. Rachel, you feel like you're reserved?

I feel like... She's just woken up. You want to get something off your chest? How have you just woken up? Megan got it, yeah. Oh, okay. I found out you were, like, shy, and that's not what this segment's about.

No, I just have the really deep husky morning voice going on. Right, okay. It's kind of relaxing, actually. It is, it is. Rachel, what do you do that you think you're the only one that does? I have to swallow an even number of times when I drink a drink. Oh, wow. Okay, let me just have a sip of, damn it.

That's so niche. That's something I've never thought of, but now I'm not going to be able to swallow without thinking of. Oh, I just did two. Normally, I can have like one sip of something, but if I'm like coming into it and I'm thirsty and I start swallowing multiple times, I have to finish on an even number.

Okay, so a guzzling water. Yeah. Yeah, so even if I'm holding my breath and I'm going to run out of air and pass out, or if I'm really full and I've had enough, I still have to get that last one and so it's even. I've never noticed I just took a sip of coffee, like I would call it maybe a bit more than a sip,

but not like a mouthful. I noticed I swallowed it and then I did a supplementary swallow. Same, because I was like even though I had done enough. Have I done enough? I just had seven gulps of water, no, eight gulps of water but I really needed to stop at seven but I was like, gonna go for the eighth.

Yeah, you've got to fit it in. Otherwise, I don't know what happens. But it doesn't matter if you gulped an uneven amount of water sips from your bottle, you could just have another swallow. No, because you broke the chain. Oh, right. There's rules to this. And it's hard to just swallow.

Remember we did that thing recently, no one can just sit there without drinking and just swallow like eight we did that thing recently. No one can just sit there without drinking and just swallow like eight times in a row. Even swallowing twice in a row there with coffee was weird. I'd do one big swallow and then a supplementary swig if it was needed. She said

supplementary swallows don't count, right? It's got to be like coffee swigs. Yeah, you've got to have like two drinks. You'd divvy it up in your mouth to swallow one and then swallow another. I don't know. I really don't feel like I think about it that much, but I just know that if I'm on like five or seven,

I've got to have one more. I've never even thought about this, and now that you've brought this up, I'm thinking about how I swallow. I don't like to think too much about swallowing. It's like when you start thinking about how much of your mouth your tongue takes up, and then you can't help but feel it's taking up too much real estate.

But then sometimes you can make it take up more and sometimes you can make it thin. What about thumb? You do have to ration out after getting close to the end. One of the best ones is when it's like a hungover water drink the next morning. Oh, you big skull. And you're just like, oh, chug, chug, chug. Eight or... But you're counting them. Well, yeah, you do.

Even in a hungover state, you're counting them. That's to be admired. What about swimming? Do you have to take an even amount of breaths? No, but you've got to finish on the balanced arm. You've got to do both arms like eight strokes or like ten strokes. It is the same. You've got to count. Right. Wow. So your whole thing is

like even numbers and... Yeah, TV remote volume. Yeah, I know. Well, that goes without saying. You're an absolute monster if you can watch television on 17. I always do that. Alright, so 0800 DARS at M. We want to ask now, and you can text as well, 9696.

Is Rachel alone and counting swallows? Is this something that you do? Maybe you as well, you think you've been alone in this? 0800DARLS.M, give us a call, 9696. And we'll come back next, Rachel, and we'll see if you are, in fact, alone in the entire country. But, yeah, I've never even thought about it. I know, but we need to put it in my head.

I know, and now all weekend I'm going to be counting swallows. I hope I'm not the only one. Beautiful. I hope I'm not the only one. We were joined just moments ago by Rachel, who is standing by. She... Counts the gulps. Yeah, she hopes she's not the only one that We were joined just moments ago by Rachel, who is standing by. She... Counts the gulps.

Yeah, she hopes she's not the only one that counts her gulps. Every time she drinks. So there's got to be an even amount of gulps when she swallows. It's like driving to work. I can't get into the habit

of pretending to bounce off the light posts because I can't stop until I get to work. So I've got to stop it. What? What are you talking about? I imagine I'm running alongside my car jumping off the light posts because I can't stop until I get to work. So I've got to stop it. What? What are you talking about? I imagine I'm running alongside my car, jumping off the light post to the next, like, and you've got to, you can only jump so far.

Yep. And so sometimes the shorter distance is across the road to the other, and then jump back across to the other light post. Okay, you're definitely the only person that does that. Your mind is a strange place. Like some kind of Spider-Man or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's almost precisely it.

And then you get to an overbridge and you've got to go like a big bonus jump or you swing underneath. Yeah, you wonder why you're late to work every day. You have to drive fast because otherwise you're not going to make the jumps. Okay. Your mind. That's for another day, I think. Julie, good morning. Go fast because otherwise you're not going to make the jumps. Okay. You're mine. That's for another day, I think.

Julie, good morning. Who have we got? Julie? Julie. Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie. Julie. Julie, are you there? We may have lost Julie.

I'll just pop Julie on hold there. Rebecca, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Now, you also do what Rachel does. You have to swallow evenly. Yeah. Okay.

So, is this food and water? Every time you're just like, you're very conscious of even swallows. If somebody offers, like, you know, a chocolate, I have to have two. Oh. Could have two squishes of chocolate. But during the day, I'm trying to swallow. Yeah, right. Fine.

Terrible phone line, Rebecca. We've got a terrible connection. But it's so, okay, yeah, right. So you're every time, even if it's, like, the two blocks of chocolate, you've got to do two swallows? Or is it one swallow for each bit? No, I think she's just doing everything in twos. Like if she's going to have a square of chocolate, she's going to have two

squares of chocolate. Yeah, right. If she's going to drink like a fizzy drink, she's going to have two drinks, two swags of fizzy drink. Okay. I don't know what's going on with the phones. I think the phone lines are a bit Screwy Rachel Are you still there?

I am yeah You are That's a You've got a beautiful phone line Oh the clarity We are hearing from other people Rachel You're not the only person

That does this Yeah Somebody else said Yeah every time I swallow I have to count my swallows And I always like to finish On an even number Yeah Good job Do you ever start And then forget And you're like Oh how my swallows and I always like to finish on an even number.

Yeah, good job. Do you ever start and then forget and you're like, oh, how many swallows was that? Or is it never? Yeah, you do. Every now and then you do and you're like, oh, we'll just go one more for good measure. Not if that's a one more's an uneven number. You give it a chance that. Like, usually the last one to make it even is like the tough going, so

you're pretty safe if you think you're feeling comfortable to stop, that you probably need one more. Somebody said they count all of their swallows, but they prefer to finish on an odd number. Preferably a multiple of three. Monster. Yeah.

It's not pretending you're swinging from the lamppost on the way to work. That's weird. No, it's not. We've had so many peopleppost on the way to work. Yeah, maybe. Because that's weird. No, it's not. We've had so many people say, I do that too, Vaughn. Vaughn's not the only one. I do the same jump thing, Vaughn, from Fulton. Vaughn, I do the lamppost thing too.

I'm with Vaughn. I do the same thing on the way to Hamilton all the way from Huntley every time I drive it. I do the same thing as Vaughn. You're not the only one. Somebody said, oh my God, I always go over the overpass, but now I'm going to imagine I'm swinging under the underpass. I mean, are the eyes on the road

and the cars ahead or the lampposts? It's kind of like peripherals. It's in your peripherals. And sometimes if you imagine it hard enough, you can kind of see the shadows of you doing it. Wow. Okay, wow. Somebody said, Vaughn, do you jump on the lights that aren't working?

No, I don't. Because you're not allowed to jump on the light post if it's not working. You've got to find another lamp nearby. Who made the rules? That's just what happens in my world. You can't jump on that. It's got no light. The light's not on.

So you get your energy from the light to jump off it or something. Maybe. Okay. Maybe. But no, you can't jump on it because it's dark and you might not see where you're going to land. Okay. So you need to have the light underneath so you can land on it.

Wow. When you don't turn up for work one morning and you're in a ditch because you didn't see a truck. Yeah. Every morning I know exactly where the light posts start on my drive to work. I'm like, don't do it today. Don't do it today. And I get to them and I'm like,

I almost, yeah, sometimes you look up there and you can almost see yourself standing on top of the power line going, are we doing this? And you're like,

oh God, okay. Okay, let's Spiderman all the way to work. All right, Rachel, thank you for participating

this morning and I hope I'm not the only one. We can safely say you are not. Thank you. I'm slightly relieved. I will be going.

All right, 721. Next, what day of the week you should take a mental health day? I'll tell you. Is it a Friday or a Monday? Because that makes it a long weekend. That's a good idea. On Monday's podcast.

RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under. The latest contestant eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race down under. Condragulation, you're number one. The latest contestant eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Mental health days, they are important and there is a good day of the week to take them. So, um... Is it when you need one? Oh, yeah, I mean, like, yeah, of course.

Yeah, but you're talking strategy, you're talking strategic. If you really need it, take it whatever day you need. But strategically, and this is for your way it seems in the workplace and also to make it count for you. There is a best way to do it. So this comes from professionals by the Society for Human Resource Management. So taking a mental health day is really important and you need to make it count as the other thing.

So watching Netflix all day does not count. It needs to be something that will help you and it needs to be self-care. Yeah, but I feel like, for example, taking a mental health day and going for a hike up the mountain or into the bush, is that... Yeah, that counts. But I just feel like I'm slacking off work.

Like if I could do that and climb up a mountain, I probably should be able to go to work. Like being out in nature is so good. Good for the soul. Good for the soul. Yeah, I know that counts. But this isn't, this is, work says, yes, you can have this off, right, as a mental health day.

Yeah. Because a lot of workplaces do that. But mental health isn't like a physical sick day where you might have food poisoning or a cold or a flu, which does limit your physical ability. A mental health day is when you feel like you're mentally limited, which physically it might be really good to get out, as you say, and do something. Yeah. Okay.

It's a different sort of sick day. Now, you joked about having it be a Monday or a Friday. Well, just to make it a long weekend, yeah. But this is, it is what the experts suggest. So if you do it on a Friday, it's an extension of your weekend. And if you do it on a Monday, it eases you into a working week. However, because they're saying don't be tempted by a Wednesday because you get through the week and you're like, okay, I need a break.

Yep. Because you're coming off the back of a whole lot of work and then you're getting ready to do a lot of work the next day. So you're spending your day probably mentally preparing for what you're going in for the next day. So Wednesday is not ideal. You can't take a break. But they do recommend rather than the Friday because most people will just extend your weekend and it'll feel like an extra weekend day.

Do the Monday. Everyone else has gone back to work. You can concentrate on yourself and your self-care and then you're easing yourself into the week and then going on a Tuesday refreshed. You can do your weekend and then save your Monday for your self-care. Yeah, right.

Monday is apparently the best day to do it. And also, for some reason, there are workplaces that there's a lot of stigma surrounding mental health days still. They say that Monday or Friday, it is easier to get your employer to agree to and make it seem like you need a long weekend. If they're not very forgiving,

do what you need to do to get the extra day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Sorry, I've been distracted because I had a Friday flashback sorted, but I've just learnt Hayley did it wrong. Go on, Anne, you should have heard. F'ing Hayley. Ooh. So now Megan's going to go back to the drawing board for her flashback.

Can we just message and say, I would like the sign changed on my car park, please? They changed it straight away when I left. Don't change it. It was like change the straight away. But now I'm like, every time I pull up, it's like Hayley's brow. I'm like, she's not here anymore, okay? It's me now.

She's looking at that frantic email. Were you emailing? Oh, no, she's messaging me. Emailing the chat. Not my job to change parking signs did hayley do that too that was anna yeah okay we'll get back to the drawing board megan's uh friday flashback coming up you'll be lucky um no there's a tick tock trend i want to talk about because this is groundbreaking someone has shared it they They have cited their sources. It was from Oprah originally.

So Oprah. Ah. What? No, back in the day. No, you're anti. No, because I always remember one of Oprah's tips for your wardrobe. You hang things around the other way and in three months it's still facing that way. You get rid of it.

You get rid of it. Yeah. You get rid of it. Oprah forgot about seasons. I got a water winter coat because it's the start of spring. And three months later, it's mid-summer. And I'm going to throw it away. And then in three more months, I'm going to be cold.

Thanks a lot, Harpo. You can extend the months, I'm sure, to suit yourself. Right. So this advice comes originally from Oprah, but it's doing arounds on TikTok. So when you smile, we're all like, say cheese. No one actually does, but. Cheese.

I always find it hard to do like a natural smile. Yeah. Yeah, gotcha. This is how you're supposed to smile, what you're supposed to say when someone's going to take a photo of you. Okay. Instead of saying cheese, Oprah said, go, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then your yeah's, I guess, can be like different levels depending on what the situation calls for. Right. So if it's casual, you can be like, yeah. Yeah. If it's really exciting, you can be like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I guess it does open your mouth and show your teeth. Yeah. And you look really happy. And it's not as up as cheese. And sometimes you grit your teeth together, it doesn't look as natural. Cheese. So go, yeah. Yeah. So three, two, one, give me yeah.

Oh, your dog got weird. Yeah. Yeah, you look like you've just tasted a lemon. Yeah. Or slammed my fingers in something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Do it, Fletch. Yeah. Yeah, so that looks great. Yeah Yeah Do it Fletch Yeah Yeah so that looks great Yeah but I'm more photogenic Yeah I'm quite photogenic So as compared to Just people

Just Hello Is this thing on? Hello The guy wearing the stand up to bullying t-shirt You don't bully me I'm more photogenic You're bullying me

I'm more photogenic You said that you're more photogenic than me. You called me a fat, ugly pig. Off air you just did. I feel like you're really paraphrasing. You really are putting words in my mouth there. All right, so that's the new Say Cheese, apparently. Just go, yeah, yeah.

Fleshforn andan and Megan The podcast ZM As a parent Last night I said the I said the sentence Please stop doing Naked cartwheels

Over the dog While your mother's Folding the washer Wow Now that is Feels like It's a sentence Made up of a whole lot

Of parts of sentences Yeah So this This is how it came to be Okay The The girls Had dinner and everything And I gave them lot of parts of sentences. So this is how it came to be. Okay. The girls, we'd had dinner and everything and I gave them a free, I told them last night I'm giving you a free

life lesson. I usually charge for these. I gave them a free life lesson. Because they're like, oh no kids our age don't know how to do the dishes. I'm like, the fact that you can say that sentence means you're more than capable of doing the dishes. How old were more than capable of doing the dishes. How old were you when you were doing the dishes?

Oh, three. I think we had a stool. Slave labour, yeah. I remember a little thing. We had this stool. It's still in my parents' kitchen. The stool. It was like a step ladder with a fold-up seat.

Oh, my God, a flip-flop. Everybody had one of these in the 80s. Everybody, yeah. There must have been a door-to-door salesperson going around selling those. It was one of those things. Everybody had one. Did you used to lift up the top and you'd sit on the step, and then one day you realised your arse got too big to fit in the step anymore?

Yeah. You're like, oh, that was a sad day. Yeah. Or sometimes you'd sit right up on the top of it. Your parents would be like, don't sit up there. You had all those different surfaces to sit on, but you didn't want to sit on any of them. You wanted to sit on the most dangerous part of the stool, the highest part.

Now, I can remember pushing that up to the sink, flicking the lid up. Yeah. Step, step. Do the dishes. So I gave them a free life lesson. But you've got a dishwasher. Well, yeah, but it's got to be loaded, and there's stuff that can't be put in there. They've got these big, bloody, cumbersome lunchboxes.

Yeah. They don't even fit in their school bag, like, sort of comfortably. I'm like, so they're taking a buffet to school or something. But when it's segmented, this is it. The kids have segmented lunch boxes now. Do you remember the good old days of opening your lunch box and your sandwich would come apart? Yeah.

The banana rolled into it. Yeah. Apple segments were all brown and in there as well. And the bag of chips you'd kind of opened on the way to school just to have a nom, nom, nom, just a couple of twisties and then put them out and it'd come in and there was orange dust everywhere and you'd just eat this sloppy mess in your lunchbox.

Not nowadays, it's all segmented out. And who's got to wash those every night? This guy. Oh god, how awful. And you've got to wash this reusable wax wrap that goes around sandwiches because no one's allowed glad wrap anymore. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but those wax wraps. I've got those. I i'm not using the wax wrap why am i washing the wax wrap yeah so i gave them a free

life lesson on how to wash the dishes wow and not fill up the whole sink to do it just use like the biggest bowl that needs washing as a mini sink inside the sink that's good that's good from you everybody so after that life lesson it it was bath time. So they went in and got undressed and then there was a scream. And so I walked down, I was like, what's wrong? And I will quote the words that

came out of my six, nearly seven-year-old daughter's mouth. There's a shit in the bath. Her exact words. And I was like, I laughed. August Smith, there's a shit in the bath. Wow, she's your daughter. I know, I couldn't be like, please call it a poo.

Yeah, or a feces. Because I, please call it fecal matter in the bath. Because that's not what I say. I just, yeah. Yeah, I say that word. You've just heard me say it about four times. Sorry, Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown messaged me say it about four times. Sorry, Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown messaged me asking me to stop saying this word, Jackie Brown.

Oh, really? Regular listens to the show and loves it, but she's asked me to tidy up my language. Well, you should. You listen with kids in the car. If Jackie Brown told you to do something, you bloody wouldn't do it. I know, I felt really like... Usually I'd be like, F off if some random listener's like, please watch your language. I'd be like, why don't you get in?

Catch me on my bad, bad move at Jackie Brown. I know, and I've been trying to like not say it get and catch me on my bad, a bad move at Jackie Brown. I know and I've been trying to like not say it and I've just said it but it was for emphasis on the story and I apologise to the Brown children.

I'd like you to apply the Jackie Brown filter, please. The Jackie Brown filter will be applied from henceforth. Okay, thank you. So there's a poo in the bath

and I'm like, who, what? Because before I can see it, I'm like, who pooed in the bath? And then there was like a bit of a CSI line up of the Smiths looking at this poo in the bath. And again

they're both naked and I'm clothed. Wait, so they were about to get into the bath and there was water in it? No, no, no. Pre-water. Pre-water. Okay. There was a poo in the bath so then Sade's folding the washing, she's shouting in the hallway what kind of poo

is in the bath and august is like it's a long and skinny one and sharday's like do you think it's the cat and i was like i hope it's the cat kind of looks like a breakfast sausage that's a cat that's a cat poo i'm, that cat's on its last warning. It's had a good life, but it's doing this sort of thing more and more, and then I'm like, what do you mean? I'm like, well, I think it's time the cat got put down. Oh my God. You can't put the cat down. Is he talking about putting the

cat down? You're scaring the children. So then they go back into the lounge, because it's real stinky. We establish it's a cat poo. I go and get some toilet paper, pick up the cat poo, flush it in the toilet, and I'm washing. I wash the bath out so there's no catty poo skin marks in there.

Didn't go that far. They're about to have a shower. They're so particular. They gave it a hot wash and a wipe. Yeah, right. With a bit of the toilet paper in there. Yeah. That'll do for now.

And then I go back into the lounge a couple of minutes later and August is like, watch this. The dog's lying on the floor in the lounge. Yeah. And August is all about cartwheels and flips and handstands and all sorts of things.

And she's like, watch this. And proceeds to naked cartwheel over the dog into the pile of washing that Sade's like folding and sorting. And that's when I said the sentence, please don't naked cartwheels over the dog into the pile of washing your mother's trying to fold. A sentence that I did not think I would say.

Ever say. Ever say. After having just dealt with a poo in the bath. Parenthood. I would say ever say after having just dealt with a poo in the bath parenthood can't wait you think yeah and then that happens instead of the

the night with a nice nice life lesson on how to watch your lunchbox and rinse that beeswax wrap thing that goes

around your sandwich and I end up saying please don't do naked cartwheels over the dog into the pile of washing that I was trying to fold she's not even 7 I know I can't do naked cartwheels over the dog into the pile of washing cups trying to fold. She's not even seven.

I know. I can't wait till she's 14 and the stories. I'm here for it. Yeah. So here for it. Megan's pick for Friday Flashback is coming up. We're going back 10 years. It's a banger.

Any other clues? From the UK. Okay. There's a couple of them. A couple of songs out of the UK that year, famously. Or two people in the band. Is that what you mean? There's more than one in the band.

I don't want to give too many clues. Okay. Just talked about the fact that I didn't think I would say the sentence, stop doing naked cartwheels over the dog into the pile of washing your mother's trying to fold. As a parent, you do find yourself saying things. A couple of text messages in. Someone said, I had an experience yesterday where I yelled

down the aisle in Pack and Save, please don't suck the frozen chicken. Great life advice though. It is. That's great life advice. I'm wrapped. I need more. I would imagine it would be like. In the packet. In the plastic wrap, right?

You know when you're a kid and you'd like, we had a chest freeze. You'd open up the chest freeze and you'd be like, bleh. And you'd put your tongue on the ice. And be like, eh, as cold as I expected. You've got to learn this. Like being a kid scientist. Yesterday at work, I said the sentence, it works better if you put two fingers in the bottom. I'm a preschool teacher and I was helping a kid learn to use scissors.

Oh, yeah. So innocent enough. But you do. You put two fingers in the bottom, don't you? Yeah. Bottom hole. Yes, you do. Thingy, handle, whatever, scissor thingy.

Without scissors in my hand, I can't think of how I would use scissors. Like that. Yeah, two or three. Your thumb and then two. What do you do with the ringy and the pinky? They just hang back. They hang out of the way, do they? Yeah.

Sometimes I'll put them in the bottom if it's big enough. Oh, like you get the big snips, yeah. Yeah, if you get a big orange handle. Three in the bottom and then one around the front. Yeah, like when you're cutting out material, the big material scissors. Oh, those are mum's sewing scissors though, so don't use. Yeah, get a whole hand in there. Yeah, like when you're cutting out material, the big material scissors. Oh, those are mum's sewing scissors though, so don't use...

Yeah, get a whole hand in there. Yeah, mum's big sewing scissors. Yeah. All of the hand in the bottom. We were never allowed to use mum's sewing scissors. Sometimes that's a two-handed job. Yeah.

Put the whole hand in the bottom and then... Yeah. A pair of head trimmers. And somebody else said, not once but twice this week, I've screamed, that's the dog's worming tablet, not a lolly.

Well, at least you won't have your kids with worms. No, actually, because those are a bit stronger, those dogs' worming tablets. Oh, good Lord. Your kid's going to be clean as a whistle. And immune for life, maybe. Yeah, maybe. On Monday's podcast.

RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under. Condragulation, you're number one. The latest contestant eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race. This is my first one of this year. So I went through about three or four to get here, but I've stumbled upon a beauty. She's famously a big fan of boy bands. Me. So I'm kicking it off with like the boy band. The best

boy band. From 2011, this was their debut single. This was the first single we got from them. Wow, so it was ten years ago. Yeah. They filmed the, the music video is really rubbish now that I look back on it. Really not great on a

Miami beach, but we forgive them because they were all beautiful and they were telling us how to be beautiful as well. I can't believe you just referred to these guys as the boy band. They're too late in the game. They weren't a trail blazer. They weren't. They weren't a trail blazer. They weren't backstreetzer. They weren't. They weren't a trailblazer.

They weren't Backstreet Boys. They weren't New Kids on the Block. They broke records. They were huge. Oh, yeah, but please pay respect to them. I'm also married to someone who isn't a boy band. Oh, yeah, totally. No, I know.

I know. But you can't deny One Direction and the success that they had. I absolutely not. I shan't deny them anything. Apart from the title of The Boy Band. Also, it's really confronting looking at Harry Styles when he's that young. Because, you know, I'm a big fan of him now when he's older.

And what's his new movie he's doing? He's a policeman. Have you seen those photos? Yes. Tiny shorts. And he was getting a bit of heat because he accepted a Brit award and pretty much spoken an American accent. Yeah, but did you listen to that?

I didn't think it was American. Oh, it's far more neutral than he has to be. Yeah, yeah. Alright, Governor! Thank you very much for the award! Well, your Friday flashback today. What makes you beautiful? It's One Direction. Sit in. You're insecure.

Don't know what for. You're turning heads when you walk through the door. Don't need makeup to cover up. Being the way that you are is enough. Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else in the room can see it Everyone else but you Baby, you light up my world like nobody else The way that you lift your head gets me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell You don't know, oh-oh You don't know you're beautiful If only you saw what I can see You'd understand why I want you so desperately Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe you told me Oh, you don't know you're beautiful Oh, that's what makes you beautiful

So come on. You got it wrong. To prove I'm right, I put it in a song. I don't know why you're being shy. And turn away when I look into your eyes. Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else in the room can see it Everyone else but you Baby, you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you lift your head gets me overwhelmed But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell You don't know, you don't know you're beautiful You saw what I can see You understand why I want you so desperately Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe you told me Oh, you don't know you're beautiful Oh, that's what makes you beautiful

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell. You don't know your beauty.

Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell. You don't know. You don't know your beauty. We'll be right back. You don't know you're beautiful. You don't know you're beautiful. That's what makes you beautiful. One Direction, that's your Friday flashback, What Makes You Beautiful.

Fleeche Ford and Megan, some feedback on the text machine. It's sneaky. I shan't hear it. Okay, well, let me try to find some good stuff. Do you want to find a positive one then? Do you need a moment? Great Friday banger. Ten years already. That's gone so fast. Do you need a moment? Great. Friday Banger. Ten years already.

That's gone so fast. Yeah. Is that all? Tune. Definitely not the boy band. What a ridiculous statement, but a great choice for a song. That person was really like. It came in hot.

It came forth. This song takes me right back to spending thousands to stalk one day at the Auckland hotel and now I'm doing the school run. Christ. Wow. Wow. Wow, how life has changed. Spending thousands to stalk 1D. So would you imagine they flew to Auckland and...

Yeah, because I remember, were they staying at the Langham? Yeah. Which is Cordis now. Yeah. And they had security fences and rows outside. That's the place of the banquet, the buffet downstairs, ain't it? Eight. Do you reckon they went to eight?

I think they were too young to appreciate a buffet. Yeah, no, I reckon Zane could have put it away. Yeah. Niall would have been a weak link in the chain of a good smorgie. You know, you've got to pick your team if you're going to a smorgie. You've really got to devastate that all you can eat. Yeah. I don't know, they were all so small, weren't they?

Yeah. They were a waste. Could have packed it away. I shan't judge. Now we're going to talk to Executive Intern Anya, whose friend has joined a gym, but that is all we know from henceforth. Yeah.

Thank you so much. So my friend is recently single and has decided to join a gym to get into shape and get them honeys. Right. Nothing like becoming single to get you motivated for the gym. Pretty much. Yeah. So she joined about a month ago.

Three weeks ago, she was there, I think it was a Thursday evening, and saw Hoddy McHoddison and was like, mm-mm-mm, yum, there, I think it was a Thursday evening, and saw Hoddy McHoddison and was like mm-mm-mm, yum-yum-yum. Okay. And apparently eye contact was made, but that was about it. Right. And she stayed like an extra 20 minutes, like really doing some workouts. Right, okay.

Just to try and catch some attention. What kind of eye contact? Lingering? Just a glance? Was there a smile involved? Apparently it was just a fleeting eye contact. She like thought that he'd been looking at her a couple of times. But nothing too serious. Okay. Gotcha.

So she went back to the gym the exact same time, the second week, and he wasn't there. Absolute disappointment. Oh no. What a waste to go to the gym. She went again last night. Oh, because it's every Thursday night. Yeah. Okay.

Just one more time, just to see. Yep. And he was there, and there were smiles. Oh! Oh, my God. She should try going to the gym other nights of the week. Yeah, what if he's like, that's his time to go? I know.

So next week, a marriage at the gym? She's going once a week. Yeah, right. So there was nothing apart from smiles exchanged last night? No. Oh, she's dilly-dallying. What if he finds somebody else in one of the classes he does at the gym? Well, I don't know.

But, yeah, next week, maybe it could be go time. Yeah, is she going to make a move, though? Well, I think she's umming and ahhing about it. Because, I mean, what would you do? I wouldn't be able to make a move. I wouldn't. I'd just be like hey. What a load of force. I could not just

walk up to someone and be like hey. You'd just give them the eyebrows. The eyebrows, the half eyebrows. If you want to hear a story, I'll tell it at Fletcher's funeral. I've got a story that would fit perfectly here, but in the interest of an ongoing professional and personal relationship.

I didn't make the first move. It's a phenomenal story. I've told a couple of people that story, and people are like, you're kidding me. I was like, there is no more to it. And they're like, there's got to be more to it. I was like, sweetie, that is the entirety of the story. How did that happen?

And I say, your honor, I have absolutely no idea. Can you not tell my story? No, that's why I'm going to start a list of stories that I can tell at your funeral. But the problem is you'll probably outlive me. So at the moment, it's just eye contact and that's it. Yeah, but smiles yesterday, which I feel is an encouraging sign. So next week, moves I feel should be made by either party. Totally.

No time like the present. We're going to need a Friday update next Friday. I'm so into this story. But this got us thinking about when you are a return customer or you go back to the same place at the same time or you go back to a place because of someone you saw there

that you can't get out of your mind. Now, if it's creepy and you're a stalker, we don't want to hear it. But there's a fine line between that and it coming across cute. Now, that's all on you. But see, if say that was producer Jared saying this story about one of his guy mates, we'd probably be saying that's a bit creepy, wouldn't we? I think it would depend on his approach.

I feel like if smiles and eye contact is exchanged and it's a guy going back to the same place at the same time and you know just to test the waters, that's fine. Yeah. Okay. So when you've maybe fancied someone and they work in a shop and they work... Sounds attractive.

Yeah, so you've found a reason to return to that area, that territory. I remember when I was at high school, there was a hot butcher at the counter. Actually, I think it was a fresh choice. And he wore, like, white overalls. Well, they have to. They're a butcher.

Yeah. And gumboos. Yeah. How, um, this is when you were at school. Yeah. How old was he? Oh, he would have been in his 20s. 50s. Can I love you back for some more sausage, Isaiah?

You want some luncheon with peas and carrots? Megan's biting her bottom lip. He's like, I've just been ripping chicken third right down the middle. Gizzards everywhere. Wow. Still some on my moustache, because I'm imagining you've got a big

thick moustache, like a Mario level moustache. Well, maybe you've got a big thick moustache Like a Mario level moustache Well maybe you've got a story Like Megan's The guy in the butchery was hot So you went every time At the same time For a slice of lunch Yeah

0800 DALZANAM Give us a call 9696 If you want to see like How common this is I bet there's people who You know went back a few times Like executive intern

And it blossomed Into a long term relationship Yeah Because maybe you had like This little fleeting moment So you thought Well I've got to See what happens times like executive intern alias friends and it blossomed into a long-term relationship because maybe you had like this little fleeting moment so you thought well i've got to got to see what happens explore this maybe you got a trespass notice we're talking about when you've gone back to the same place maybe a business maybe just maybe just a park because you saw someone hot there or the gym yeah and you're like a good fishing spot, you know? Yeah. You mark it on your GPS, and next time you're in the bloody...

I've really failed here. I tried to think of a brand of boats. The Furuno? What's that a brand? A Furuno? I don't know. Furano? A dinghy.

Next time you're in the dinghy. No, I want it to sound like a nice big boat. Oh, okay. A Haynes Hunter. Nah, too posh. Too posh and a fiberglass. I was thinking of a tinny. Next time you're in the Ramco.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Pin down the Yamaha 125 and get out to that good fishing spot. Yeah. And hopefully. What I've done there is enough sort of like lads chat to really hook the males in, listen. Yeah, right. I don't know.

I don't know if you have. A wide appeal for the show. Yeah. It's called broadcasting after all. Anyway, maybe you go back to the same spot because there was a hottie there. We got there. Yeah. So we're taking your texts and your calls on said subject of returning to an area where

hotness was prevalent. Because Executive Intern Arnie's friend has done this because of the hot guy at the gym. On a Thursday evening. Yes, and I tell you what Join us next Friday for the update because she's going back next Thursday and she may make a move. Write that down, I don't want to forget Yeah, put that in the show planner. Sina, have you

gone back to the same place? Well, yeah, like we're going back a few years here. I'm not as old as it sounds but back in the day when our milk used to get delivered to the letterbox, there was always those milk boys that would run up the street.

We lived in a little dining street. Run up the street with the trolley and deliver the milk. And he was so hot. So here's me, 5.30pm. Sun's going down. I'm sunbathing. Sunbathing on my lawn

waiting for the milk to come. It's June. Wow. Just chilling on my lawn, you know. Just so you can absolutely honey trap this poor milk boy. He didn't even probably notice me. There was no eye contact. There was no banter.

Just me weirdly sunbathing. Yeah, every night. Well, you should have just waited on the front steps in your bikini. I might as well have. It was so embarrassing. Like, cringeworthy. So cringey. And that never led anywhere?

Never, ever. I want to say there was like five in a row different milk guys. They were all hot. This wasn't in New Plymouth because Fletch used to do a milk run. I used to do a milk run, yeah, back in the day. Wasn't that? I was down in Christchurch. That was a really big laugh for that.

Sorry, sorry. I mean, hindsight's 20-20, but did you ever chuck any dairy puns at them? Like, ooh, what have you got there, full cream? Once I was like, I'll just check the mailbox while he comes because they put it in the mailbox. And maybe we'll make eye contact. But I just tried to say hello and I didn't say anything.

It just came out like a weird noise. I know. Some like crazy girls walking around in their togs in winter and Christchurch at 5.30 you're doing the milk run, she comes out and she's like Why didn't he fall in love? Sina, thanks you call. Olivia you went to the same place

because of somebody hot? Yes, so I used to work in a new world in a department and my now partner worked in the storeroom. So I used to hate going into the storeroom because it was always filled with old guys, so no. And one day I saw him out there because I had to go out there and I was like, oh, hello, okay.

So after that moment, I sort of looked for any excuse I could to go out to get our deliveries. Go out to the store. The store in which you had previously shown zero interest in. But now that there was a hottie out there, you were regularly circulating. And then it obviously worked because you're together now. Yeah. Wow.

Did you make the first move? No, he did. He told me off for not wearing a high-vis. Oh, yeah. Straight in with a daddy. Bit of daddy discipline. Excuse me, you can't be back here without a high-vis on. Mmm.

Mmm. Tell me I should be in closed-toed shoes. Don't bite your lip. That's so gross. Mmm. Mmm. Thanks, you call Olivia some text messages in. I went back to the same juice bar every day because a girl I went to primary school with,

and I always liked was working there, and I ended up working with her at the juice bar. Okay. I was a cashier at the casino, and he would come in with his then girlfriend, he'd catch my eye between slot machines, and now we've been married 17 years, so he apparently kept coming back in. You don't take your current partner to scope out the next one, do you? That's madness. Well, you give your new partner a challenge, don't you?

You want me? Try hard. We're about to sell some sausages. Okay. Oh, okay. Because they said, Megan, speaking of hot butchers, we've got some hot butchers here in Kashmir. I can't go in anymore as I get flustered and can't stop blushing.

Oh, okay. I've looked it up, and this is Kashmir Cuisine, which is a small butchery, which I'm, you know, you might be blushing because of the butchers. I'm blushing because of the meat. I'm looking at their sausages. They do a pork and apple cider sausage. Oh. A Tuscan herb butterfly chicken.

Right. But yeah, they're Tuscan herb butterfly chicken. Right. Moroccan chicken chops. Right. Are they... Oh, stop. Oh, my God. Stop that. Oh, what's that hanging in the window?

That's venison salami. But are they absolute hotties? Is that the... They should do a calendar. They should do. Like the butcher of the month. Yeah. And they're like in a semi-shirtless... She would make a calendar. They should do. Like the butcher of the month. Yeah. And they're like

in a semi-shirtless, yeah, a semi-shirtless state. I'm going to ask you, sir, to step out of the butchery. You can't be in here without a shirt on.

Safety. It's a photo shoot. We know Weenieck's going to Christchurch. Safety first. What are you imagining that like slapping the, slapping their chests

with raw chicken? It's just like one of them standing there. It's June, for example. You flip over from Maine, it's June. Well, it's the winter month, so he's probably got a rolled roast for you. No, he's got a couple of chicken drumsticks on his shoulders, and he's just standing there in his apron.

Sexy. That sounds more like a winter, a summer meal, if I'm being picky. Yeah, we shot the calendar in January. Right, okay. Some other text messages in. I was a barmaid and met my now husband at work. He came in one Sunday randomly. Some other text messages in. I was a barmaid and met my now husband at work. He came in one Sunday randomly.

We had a little flirt and then he proceeded to come back every Sunday for approximately six weeks. We've now been together for 12 years. That's going to happen to your friend, Anna.

She's going to do this. She's going to go to the gym another couple of times and they're going to be together. Okay, I'm calling it. And Lisey eventually comes over and he's like, can you just stop staring at me?

It's unnerving. Can you peer pressure her to make a move next week so we can report back on Friday? Okay, I'll do it. Fantastic. Okay, more reports of the butchers in Kashmir. See? The butchers in Kashmir are so ridiculously good looking,

sometimes I walk past to look at them through their window like a manzu. When are we going to Christchurch? A manzu. A manzu. Wow. Research must be done. a man zoo. When are we going to Christchurch? A man zoo. A man zoo. Research must be done. A man zoo. There's something for everybody there.

Yeah, the straight lads have got the chops. Oh, my God. I'm so horny for chops. I'm so horny for a well-cut meat. Yeah. And then Megan can go and grab a chop. Get a feed of the butchers like they did back in the old days when you had the crush on the guy in Fresh Choice that chopped up the chickens.

I tell you, it's the overalls. I took up extra shifts at work because we had a hot guy staying at the hotel that I wanted to cross paths with more regularly. Making your key on that machine and swipe yourself in. What? Obviously. That's forward. Hold on.

I've had another message. This is on Instagram. Hold on. I've had another message. This is on Instagram. Hold on. It says tripling down. Tripling down on the hot cashmere butchers. Can confirm. Now, if they have a huge spike in sausages today. We've got to see photos.

They've got a website and a video on the website. Do they have profiles of their butchers on the website? Maybe. They should if they're missing. Okay, at the top, contact us or salami, beef, chicken, lamb, pork, sausages, patties, salmon, gluten-free, custom order. Is there no meet our team? Even just there.

They should do meet our team, but it's M-E-A-T our team. They're missing a trick there. Meet the team. Meet the team and then it's them. Okay, another message in. Yep. Oh, someone's sent us a photo of the but the team. Meet the team and then it's them. Okay, another message in. Yep. Oh, someone's sent us a photo of the butchers.

No, have they? Have they? Yes, yes, yes. Yes. It's a solid majority, honey. Okay, right, so it's a good butchery team. But of everything too there, they've got good diversity in the team. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about why, I mean, the fact in itself is that early Mickey Mouse, early Disney cartoons and early Warner Brothers cartoons, everybody wore gloves. Mickey Mouse still wears gloves. Because they were lazy and didn't want to do the fingers.

Very hard. Yeah. So there's two reasons. Hard to draw hands. If you've ever sat down to draw someone, I always draw them with their hands in their pockets. Yeah. Because it's easier.

Then you do a little squaring. You just have the sticks of the arm going into the pocket, and it's easier. But hands were hard to draw. But with Mickey Mouse, and this is from Disney archives, the person that was animating him said they drew a hand that would be a hybrid of a mouse hand and a human hand and it was terrifying.

They said there's no way kids are going to be able to be cool. If you think of Splinter off Ninja Turtles, he's got them freaky-ass rat hands. That's scary. And this Mickey Mouse was supposed to be, well, Steamboat Willie, as he was in the early silence, was supposed to be for kids, but with the rat hands.

And then they drew human hands and they took way longer, but also looked weird on a mouse. So they were like, well, let's just trick them on gloves and save us all some work. So they put the hands in gloves, which also made the hands easier to see because Mickey Mouse is entirely a black mouse. What are you going to cheeky grin on your face for? No, a friend's messaging asking me what that story is. No, about the story you're going to tell at my funeral.

I'll tell it at your funeral. Great. So the gloves were for three purposes. Yep. Easier to draw, save them having to work out how to make freaky rat hands not look scary to children, and made the hands easier to see because otherwise he was an all black mouse.

Same reason he's wearing pants, by the way. Okay. Interesting. So today's fact of the day is in the early days of cartoons, cartoon characters predominantly wore gloves. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. This hack has come from Instagram. It's from the Organised Housewife account. I have my own issues with that? But never mind.

This is groundbreaking, this hack, because, you know, like, let's not get into what's better, a dishwasher or a dish drawer. You two. So this is a hack if you've got a dishwasher or a dish drawer. Oh, yeah. The example is for a dishwasher.

I've got dish drawers. Easily you can do either. Right, and it involves a tea towel yes so if you don't have a dishwasher the hack is to dry the wet plates

with the tea towel and they're clean no I don't feel that that's a hack this is a hack for people who have a tea towel and a dishwasher

right okay so if you put in plastics and stuff this is especially a problem so do you find that when you put in plastics and stuff, this is especially a problem. So do you find that when you put in like plastic containers, like my lunch container or whatever? Like your lunch containers

and your protein shaker thingies. Yeah. They always get the dribbly water left over in the end. I always put them on the bench, leave them to drip dry. It's so annoying. And if you pull them out

and then suddenly like you spray water all over the stuff that's actually dry. Did I see a dishwasher advertised once that has a blowy thing? Yes, I think you did. That would be... Circulates the air. Yeah, that would be revolutionary. Yeah, right.

Because it just goes around and it would blow the water off. Because mine, it washes and then it just has like a heating period. As soon as it's finished washing, this is the hack, open your dishwasher and place your tea towel over the door. So you've got a little flap on the outside but most of the tea towel's inside the door and close it back up again. So you jam it in. You jam your tea towel

in the dishwasher. Close it shut, not leave it ajar. No, close it shut. You're saying shut it entirely. So while it's doing that heating, while it's doing the end of the cycle, it helps to soak up the excess liquid. So your tea towel will come out wet, but your plastics will come out dry.

Right, because the wood is in steam form and it's going to stick to the towel over the plastics. The towel over the plastics. Be careful when you put your tea towel in the door that it is nowhere near a heating element. Oh, yeah. Most of those are covered. Some aren't, though, are they?

But most of them are covered now, the heating elements. Yeah. But you wouldn't want that slipping in and starting a fire. No, be careful, yeah. Most of those are covered. Some aren't, though, are they? But most of them are covered now, the heating elements. But, yeah, you wouldn't want that slipping in and starting a fire. No, be careful, yeah. But apparently it works. Really? I'm legit going to try it.

Because I just, when it finishes, if I'm around and I hear it finish, I'll just open it up real quick and just shake it, shake the plastics a bit and then shut it again. Oh, okay. Or just leave them in for like five days and then that water just goes by itself. I find leaving them long enough. Pretty much. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Friday Fish and Chippies. So we're looking for your recommendations on a good chipper. This is also I don't know about you, Megan, we're on the same local Facebook page, but this is also a big thing, and it was in Te Atatuamai, where we used to live as well.

When someone new moved to the area and joined the page. Where's the best place for fish and chips around here? That's such a hot topic on community Facebook pages. So let's take out the community Facebook page and just hear it straight from the horse's mouth. Fish and chippy number one. Hey! Hey!

This is my fish and chip shop. Is it? Yeah. Ours? Mine. You got one closer to you. This is my fish and chip shop. It's not mine.

Rob, good morning. Good morning, guys. How are we? Good morning. Who's your fish and chip shop recommendation? Well, at the start when I spoke to one of your colleagues, I said it was blue cod, but my son said, no, no, it's blue takeaways out in Hulpai.

Yeah, that's right. Blue takeaways in Hulpai. Okay. What makes you love them so much? What do they do? Well, the chicken nibbles are one of the best chicken nibbles that you can ever get. Chicken nibbles?

From your fish and chippy? I haven't had the chicken nibbles are one of the best chicken nibbles that you can ever get. Chicken nibbles? Come here, fish and chippy. I haven't had the chicken nibbles. Oh, you have to try the chicken nibbles, mate. Sacre bleu, Rob. I just have gone for fish and chips every time. Yeah, well, that's like chicken nibbles. And I always go for the chips. And then I put a little bit of chicken nibbles on the side.

Right. Chips with chicken nibbles, you get a couple of bits of fish? Yeah, I normally get little bit of chicken nibbles on the side. Right. Chips with chicken nibbles. Do you get a couple of bits of fish? Yeah, I normally get a bit of snapper, but my oldest boy likes snapper, but the youngest doesn't. So it's always a mixture of... Oh, you don't want to share. I don't buy the kids the nice fish. You buy them the rubbish stuff.

They get the cheap fish. Okay, so, I mean, you've got two good votes there, I'd say, from also some locals. Yeah. And Vaughan and Megan there. Let's meet... Fish and Chippy number two. Heather, hello.

Heather, who are you nominating? Hi, I'm nominating Kaipoi Village Fish and Chips. Oh, okay. Because I have not liked fish and chips for ages. Like, they just leave you feeling greasy and not satisfied. But my husband loves them, and so he's always devastated that we can't have fish and chips on Friday night. But we found Kaipoi Village, and they're beautiful.

And he gets the bog standard fish, and I get a gurnard or a piece of cod. They're beautiful. That's my recommendation. Okay. All right. It's got great reviews. That's my recommendation. Okay. All right. It's got great reviews. Good reviews online. Huge reviews online.

Well, I'm going to probably put my vote for Heather this morning. But I've got to vote for who I know. Yeah, I know. And I haven't tried their chicken nibbles, so, you know, Marlo, Rob's just served me something different for this evening and sort of dinner. Megan, you've got the deciding vote. Rob or Heather?

I've got to go for the local. I've got to go for who will play. Because it's your local because you know what it is. Rob. I'll do Rob. Blue takeaways. You've taken it out. Congratulations.

It just makes my day because I left my car key in my normal car and I had to break into my car and then break into my dad's house to get out. So you guys have actually lighted me up today. Oh, Rob. I'm glad that's a rough start to your Friday. Yeah, that's a really... Nobody needs that on a Friday. It's the last day before the weekend. Yeah. You don't need

that kind of stress. Really confusing situation of keys in places they shouldn't be. I'm glad that we could lighten that day for you, Rob. Congratulations. The blue takeaways, Rob. Congratulations. The blue takeaways, not blue cod. Blue chip takeaways.

Blue chip takeaways. Blue chip takeaways. In Hurlpye. Thank you, Heather, as well. I guess a second place there. I hear it sounded pretty good. She's a fussy...

Fish and chipper. Fussy Fiona. Yeah. That pause there was me trying to think of a female's name that started with F. But she really likes it.

So that speaks volumes too.
