Hello, welcome to the Flea to Vaughan and Megan podcast with Hayley Sprouts. Thanks to McCafe. Download the Maccas app to get McCafe rewards today. I've just, um, not all heroes wear capes. No. Some wear the same type of t-shirt every day. Or nurses in uniform. Oh yeah, I mean, I've been getting enough praise lately for their wonderful handling of the COVID-19 situation and general ongoing amazingness.

It's time for me to bathe in the glory of being a hero that doesn't wear a cape. I just took bowls from one kitchen at work to another kitchen. To redistribute the bowls. So who was bowl heavy? The kitchen and the kitchenette area out here where we dump our bowls on the way out of work, which is easier for us. However, they never find their way back to the other kitchen where we acquire bowls because that's where the microwaves are.

Hang on, when you say you dump your bowls, what do you do? You leave them in the sink? You put them in the dishwasher. You put them in the dishwasher. But then when the dishwasher gets empty, they get put back into the main kitchen area, not in the kitchen. Oh, that's the kitchen with the microwaves. It's kind of like when you were at a hotel with

a bunch of friends and you might have a hotel room party and everyone byos glasses and then all the wine glasses oh you've got to redistribute them otherwise you'll get charged yeah breakage fee so i i was carrying the bowls people work obviously i know this is a problem um and someone said oh let me get that door for you and I said yeah thank you thank you for that and they said oh great work redistributing the bowls

modern day hero Vaughan Smith I had arm loads of bowls the office stood and applauded yeah and they were like woo much like when

you guys are in soundproof booths so you wouldn't have but much like when Richard Gere picks up Julia Roberts in an officer and a gentleman

and everyone's yahooing and whoo whoo that was basically me walking through the office to applause did you call Richard Gere picks up Julia Roberts in an officer and a gentleman and everyone's yahooing and who, who, who. That was basically me walking through the office to applause. Did you call the interns by name after Friday's segment? Yep. I know all of them.

I've wished them all a good day now. Fantastic. Who did you wish a good day? I said Isaac Bishop. Bishop, by the way, wasn't in here for the test, but afterwards when I went out, he's like, oh, and I'm Bishop. And I said, like the X-Men character, and he's like, oh, and I'm Bishop. And I said, like the X-Men character, and he's like, that's who I'm named after.

So boom, that's locked in there. Like Bishop Brian Tarmachy. Did you see Zoe out there? Zoe, I said, yes, good morning to Zoe. She wasn't there on the way part through, but on the way back I saw Zoe. So I said, Zoe, and I tapped my watch to indicate Zoe was late.

You are going to be the blooming talk of this office. Oh yeah, bowl guy, knows everybody's names. Lisa, I said hello to her, she's not Croatian at all. She's from Wellington.

What are you going to do now if people go to that kitchen to get bowls and they're going to be... I left some bowls there but took the majority of the bowls back to the bowl deprived kitchen. Modern day hero,

Vaughan Smith. We salute you. I get a vaccine for that. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleets Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul. Sproul.

Sproul. Sound like a cat stretching. I can't believe it's been 10 years. Yeah, since the Feb 22nd earthquake in Christchurch. 10 years. Holy moly. The Prime Minister will announce, so there must be a cabinet meeting.

I don't know if she's going to do that on Zoom. She's going to be in Christchurch. Right. For the memorial, for the commemorations. And then she's going to announce, hopefully, level one for Auckland. For the entire nation, yeah. Yeah. Most of the...

Geographically, most of the nation's already in level one. Yeah. Yeah. How did we get away with it, New Zealand? I know. I just keep... It's just... I don't know.

I thought that was going to get scary for a while there. Yeah. A little lockdown, done. Well, everybody's going to be doing their parts. We do. Aren't they? Yep. We'll be back to complacency before we know it.

Yeah. Yeah. Why are there tiny little surgical scissors in here? I saw them. I wondered, are they something a nurse would use to cut the bandages? Has someone seen your toenails or something? Yeah, I was going to say that. That looks like an old nail clipper,

like the little clampy nail clippers you get these days, which are a fast, superior product. Apparently you're supposed to use scissors on your toenails. Why not those big... Not clippers. Why not those big bolt cutters? Something about the hard edge or something? No, I love the clippers.

Yes, I am. Way better. All right, coming up on the show, ZM's $50,000 secret sound. It's all thanks to Star. Launching tomorrow night on Disney+, $10,000 is the current jackpot. People are going crazy for this already. This is the secret sound. Your next chance

Coming up at 7 We'll give you a chance At 8 o'clock as well During the show The top 6 Is on the way Yep And that's to do with

Cream eggs There's been Controversy Because of a cream egg kiss I'll tell you more about The cream egg kiss Soon But next on the show

That sounds like it should be on The cream egg kiss Yeah Should be on what Creamy Kiss. Yeah. Should be on what? What's that website? Pornhub. No! The website with all the names of what things mean. Urban Dictionary. Yes. Gotcha.

Why can I not remember Urban Dictionary? It's Monday. My first guess was Pornhub. Yeah. Okay, well it sounds like I'm going to go to Pornhub now and have a look at the samples. But next on the show, we told them we had to do it before they moved in together. They had to have their first fight. They moved in together.

They may have had their first fight. Producer Jared next on the show about what him and his middy had their first proper fight about. This is good. I'm on Jared's side, by the way. Same. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Well, we said he probably should have had a proper argument with his girlfriend before moving in together. Moved in quick.

But I think an argument, you've got to have a proper argument, know who you're dealing with. Because what if they're like chilling and everything and then you argue with them and they're like an insane psychopath. They're a monster. Yeah. Or even worse, if they're dead inside and they don't meet you in an argument. Oh, yeah. They just let you trample all over them. So you blow up and they're dead inside and they don't meet you in an argument. Oh yeah, they just let you trample all over them. So you blow up and they're like, okay.

And you're like, oh no, no, no, don't do that either, that's worse. I think we're both yelling. Yeah. Or they're like, okay, that's cool. And they go into the kitchen and they come back with a knife and they stab your hand into the table and you're like, oh, that's a bit, that's a bit. I remember those days. Yeah, but this is why. This is why. You've got to know and you're like, oh, no, don't argue with me. I remember those days. Yeah, but this is why. This is why.

You've got to know what you're dealing with. Well, it turns out they may have had their first argument. Was this when you'd moved into your new place? Yeah, this was at the end of a long, hard day. I was going to say. So Friday, you had teeth ripped out. Yep. Saturday, you moved.

Yep. Which is always a stressful situation. Now, backstory for those that don't know, how long have you been with the girlfriend, the new girlfriend? We worked it out on Saturday. It was our three month anniversary. Wow, and they've moved in. Wow. So, the

first big fight after three months. Yep. Producer Jared, what was it about? She ham-fisted the toothpaste in the middle of the tube. This was a brand new tube. Brand new tube. I hadn't even used it yet. And she went really hard with her fist. Like a monkey squeezing a banana.

Is this the woman you want to marry? I'm having second thoughts now. Because I'm on Gerard's side. It's a light pinch. Especially when it's brand new. You go from the end. You go from the end, yes. You go from the end.

And then you twist and roll it. Absolutely you do. At least you're some kind of animal. I love those, you know, those pumpy toothpaste things, but they're real expensive, so I don't buy them. But those, that's where it's at. And you can't get the last bit out of the bottom, either. I know, that annoys me, too.

There's probably some wastage there. There are those little plastic bottle ones that you put upside down. They might be better for her if she's going to monkey grip it, as you say. Yes, I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth, and it was just there, this like crinkled, blobby mess of a toothpaste. Who is she? And I just like hand on my head, and I was just like, Emma. And I just hear this nervous laughter from my room

because we've discussed this before. And she knows that this is a big no-go for me. All right. So she was doing it. Do you think she was doing it on purpose? Nah, she vehemently apologized. But then, like, after she said it doesn't matter, I said it does matter.

She apologized. And then she relayed the story, which I'd forgotten, of how she stayed over one time at my old flat and did the exact same thing and I reamed her for it then too So was this the extent of your argument? When I first moved in with my partner

I threw a cob loaf at his head. A cob loaf one of the more dangerous of the lies to project That's a hard bread It's got a tough top. I will say I am sort of quite a hormonally charged woman. Okay. Right, okay.

I can't remember what happened and I hiffed. Like I'm a, we're fiery. I'm a fiery woman. Okay. Well, that's an expensive loaf as well. We can't just afford to go tossing around some cobs. It slammed against the jib board and it was super squash. And then when we ate it later that night,

it was like eating in shame. Oh, you ate it? Yeah. Do you know what I mean? We were just like, hey, remember when I threw this at your head? Yeah. He ducked it. Right, okay.

Yeah. I'm glad he dodged. Yeah. Not today. Right. Okay, well, good luck with that. Thanks, guys. You can't get out of it now.

You've signed a 12-month lease. Yep. Way too late. Too right. Good that you've done it, though. You've got it out of the that. Thanks, guys. I mean, you can't get out of it now. You've signed a 12-month lease. Yep. Way too late. Too right. Good that you've done it, though. You've got it out of the way. The first fight. Well, that didn't really sound like she argued back.

No, no. She put up a little bit of a fight, but then I think she... Did she say, I'm the one that works at a dentist? Yeah. Yeah, good. That would have been my first line. Yeah, shut your mouth. Which one of us works at the dentist?

Does she get free toothpaste? I don't know. She does. We should look into that. We should look into that. We should get the expensive stuff. Not toothpaste, the mousse. The orange stuff that's really abrasive. And it tastes real orangey.

Yum, yum, yum. And some of that mouthwash stuff in the little cup. While she's at it, can she get me a bib chain? I got a free saver call. Imagine every time you have dinner you put the bib chain on. Because I don't like the napping across the land. The bird is uncooked to tuck it in.

I need a bib chain. And if you're eating with a knife and fork, when you need to clean your knife, you just smear it across the bib. Rub it on the bib chain. Perfect. Why are more people wearing fancy-ass dinner bib chains? Make it a thing. Yeah, let's get it done.

I'm going to look and see how much they cost. 13 past six. Well, we all have that one friend we're a little bit jealous of, and it turns out that that might not be such a bad thing. All right, dudes. 89 cents a pair on AliExpress. Oh, my God. Order four.

Hey, you. We're all getting a bib chain. We're all getting bib chains. We're getting bib chains. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Why are you giggling? Is it because you're ordering us bibs from overseas? Yeah, no, I've actually been in New Zealand

because I thought, you know. It's so local. Yeah, but then I'm pretty sure that they're just getting them from AliExpress, so they're just playing the expensive middleman. But they won't give me a price until I log in to independent dental supplies. That's how they get you. If anybody's listening, playing the expensive middleman, but they won't give me a price until I log in to independent dental supplies.

That's how they get you. If anybody's listening, I'll just transfer the money into your account if you already have an independent dental supplies order and you order us all bib chains. We just want the chain

that goes around and then we've got our own paper towels. We've got a paper towel dispenser. The bib bit is sorted. That's easy peasy. It's the clip chain. Yeah. They're kind of like the glasses chains.

I wonder if you could just use that. I don't know, but you don't. You need the alligator clips on the end. I just can't wait to go out to dinner with my wife and pull out my bib chain. And when they lay it across our lap, I'll be like, excuse me, how presumptuous of you. I bought my own bib chain. Wow. You will be the classiest person at Yum Char.

Yes. Bib chain. New fashion. Prada. Prada. I will be the classiest person at Yum Cha. Yes. Bib chain. New fashion. Prada. Prada. I'm going to call it Prada next year. They're going to do a range of bib chains. Yeah.

Oh, definitely. I've been reading the study, guys. Now, you might hear about jealous partners, jealous husbands, jealous wives. Are you a jealous lover? No. No? No. No? No, not particularly. Nice and secure.

I moved all of my women to the country so that no other urban men, just, you know, geographically there's less men. They can't look at them. Oh, is it? Yes. Okay, I've built a large fence. But it turns out this study is looking into jealousy not only in romantic relationships but also in your friendships.

And I think jealousy is often seen as a poor quality. But it turns out that actually jealousy within your friendships can be a good quality and help make your relationships stronger. So it's saying that we often find when a third party enters the relationship, so you say your best friend maybe gets a partner or gets a new friend, that you feel the same kind of jealousy. Because they might be hanging out with their new friend more than you. Yeah, exactly. Or their new friend might be hotter than you are or more successful than you are.

I doubt it though. But those feelings of jealousy can actually cause you, friend A, to strive to be a better friend. This sparks a little bit of competitiveness. Yeah, I was going to say, so it's more competitive. You're going to try harder, aren't you? Yeah, but these things, jealousy, competitiveness, are seen as bad things, but they're saying, no, it's a healthy thing to feel a threat and want to react because it means you care about that person enough not to just let them walk off with their new friend.

Have you ever been in that situation where somebody, one of your friends has got a new friend and you're like, back off? Well, no, I don't think I have. I've got a best friend and we've been best friends since we were about three, four years old. And so we were just, we're just number one. Who's your best friend and we've been best friends since we were about three, four years old. And so we were just, we're just number one. Who's your best friend? Jess. I've never even heard

you mention Jess. You've never talked about Jess ever. Is Jess listening? I feel that. Is she real? Is she around saying, oh, everybody listen

to my best friend Hayley. She's on the radio and she's out there in your hair not even saying your name. I talk about Jess all the time. I haven't talked about her. Hey Jess. But everyone, all my other friends have this jealousy with me and Jess for sure because whenever I talk about Jess I always say my best friend

Jess. So even everyone who knows her. They know. Even people who also know Jess. I'll always say my best friend Jess. They're like yeah we know where we rank. Yeah I've never, I've never been a person that has like a definitive best friend. But maybe I need to start chucking it out there just so the other friends are putting more effort into being a better friend to me. Sending gifts and... Make it like a MySpace top friends kind of thing.

Yeah, that shit was confronting. Where you're just laying for that number, at least the top eight. But with us, we were so loyal to each other. So there wasn't a lot of this jealousy. She moved to Christchurch for a couple of years when we were about nine years old. Then her whole family came back to Wellington

and she came back to school. And obviously in those two years, I had to make new friends because I was on my own. But did she quickly rise to the top? And then when she came back, I just ditched those hours. Suckers. Yeah, they put in two years hard work

and you're like, see you, suckers. Jess is back. No jealousy. Yep. Oh, where's Jess now? She's in Petone in Wellington. Lovely. Love you, Jess. Morning, Jess. If she's in Petone in Wellington. Lovely. Love you, Jess.

Morning, Jess. If she's even real. She is. Oh, my God. Twist. Jess doesn't exist. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

Post Malone's real name, Austin Richard Post. He's done an interview with Vice on how he chose his rap name Post Malone. And it's quite a story, really. Where does the Malone come from? Well, he put his name into a rap name generator and hit generate, and it came up with Post Malone. Wow. Because the rap name generators I've been to,

you either put in your first or your last name. Some of them you can put in like your interests, like what you're into, your favourite things. And he hit generate and he said that was the name that came up and it just kind of stuck. I'm going to do this. And now he's Post Malone and he's worth $30 million. Wow.

Good from him. Good from him. Wow. I always wonder how people come up with their rap names It's kind of blown up on Reddit Because this interview came out and then everyone on Reddit's like What? Are you the rap name generator?

And so people have been posting and sharing their rap name generator So I'm on myrapname.com Yes And so it's asking for my first name Hayley, H-A-Y-L-E-Y Last name, initial S Suggest female rap name Okay Name, Hayley, H-A-Y-L-E-Y. Last name, initial S. Suggest female rap name.

Okay. What's yours? Mistress Hayley H. Funkstacks, a.k.a. Magic Hills. Magic Hills. Magic Hills. With an L-L-Z? No, H-I-L-L-S. Oh, correctly spelled then.

Correctly spelled. Well, you could use a Z in there. You could use a Y instead of an I too. Oh, so you can just keep on generating lots of different names. What have you guys got? Until, I'm going to do a couple here. Juvenile Fletch Sea Nugget, a.k.a. Shady Swagger. Oh, I like Shady Swagger. But Shady, kind of Shady's been taken by Eminem.

Slim Shady. By Slim Shady. Where are you getting, a.k.a. I've just got a list of names. Have you put tickick U's nickname? Yeah. Oh, okay. Maybe it's having trouble with the name Vaughn.

Verbose Vaughn V-Knuckles. It makes me sound like I've got a tight pair of pants and it's not quite camel toe, eh? I've re-clicked mine about 10 times and now this last suggestion, which is not great. Hey, space, Lee. Oh, no, that's kind of imaginative. That's not a hip-hop happening rap name.

No. Is it? No. Regenerate. I've got Nugget on one as well, so I feel like they just chucked in a word. I've got VS Chill, aka Terrible Swagger. Ooh, Diva HS Cookies.

Oh, I like this one. That's a weird one. Shooter Fletch Seashot, aka.k.a. Grandmaster Loaf. Grandmaster Loaf. Grandmaster Loaf. Like I'm a delicious ginger loaf or something. Oh, yeah, beautiful banana bread. Yes, you are.

I'm going to start clicking suggest female rap name. Sling VS Slammy Jam. Slammy Jams are live. Yeah, well, I mean, you can try myrapname.com. Knock yourself out. But just remember, that's how Post Malone got his rap name. But he doesn't say what one specifically he used. What rap name generator.

No, no, no. He doesn't say. Okay. Because I think he was like back at school or back in the early days. Right. Just tried one. Just Googled one. But if you Google them, you literally get pages of them.

So there's quite a few out there. So all you young, hopeful rappers, hit it. That's exactly how you should do it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A survey has been conducted that may help you cut to the chase. Women looking for men. If you want to look for a hot, steamy lover, this sexy survey asked 5,000 women to list the physical attributes of men

they had had the best sex with. So they could figure out which attributes of men mean they're going to be a good shag. Top of the list, Vaughn, facial hair. Yes. Oh, we've known that about Smithy. Beards. Yes. Oh. We've known that about Smithy. Beards. Birds. 73% of their participants said that their best sex partner

sported a hefty chinage. So do they go into what specific sort of facial hair? Like beards versus, because there's like some people who have moustaches and they look creepy, but like beards. Some people have beards and they look creepy. I'm going to say it's, well, here it says heavily forested. Okay, so not a Hitler moustache. So definitely not the sexiest thing on a man.

I would say a hefty thing. The second on the list was brown eyes. Oh, hello. That's you. You've got brown eyes. What colour are your eyes? Brownie, hazel. No, they're hazel. Don't try to claim your eyes. No, you're That's you. You've got brown eyes. What colour are your eyes? Brownie, hazel-y. No, they're hazel-y.

Don't try to claim your eyes. No, you're the sexiest. So if I grow a beard with my brown eyes, I could be unsoffered. Do you grow a good beard? I could grow a good beard. I never do. It gets itchy now. Oh, Darcy.

It gets so itchy. I'll leave it a couple of days max. Yeah. And coming in third of the attributes that will make a good lover, tattoos and piercings. Oh, he's a bad boy. I'm out. Yeah, me too. I'm out now.

Yeah, you've got no tattoos, no piercings. No, you wouldn't have nipple piercings. Don't have nipple piercings. And your big nipple tattoos around the areola. Yeah. No. Or broad shoulders. That was 68% of women in this survey said that broad shoulders gave them a good share.

Like swimmers. Yeah, Michael Phelps. Yeah, that dude was just... Real triangular. Yeah. He was a year to those shoulders. He had it in his waist. This is one that surprised me.

53% of women claim that their most successful and skillful lovers had little feet. Little feet? Little feet. Little feet. They said small feet, but I've chosen the word little. lovers had little feet. Little feet? Little feet. Little feet. They said small feet, but I've chosen the word little. They'd scamper up the bed sheets, would they, with their little feet? And on the other end of the spectrum, the not so sexy end of the spectrum,

big hands and bushy eyebrows. So there you go. Big hands and bushy eyebrows are not sexy features. No one wants a big hand. That's what they don't want in the sack. Luckily on radio you couldn't see what Hayley motioned towards there. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top 6. Hello there. It's an ad for Cadbury cream egg, which we were all just saying when you're a kid, you can smash like,

they used to come in a pack of four. But now I eat one and my teeth hurt. Yeah, I know. I just can't stop thinking about eating a raw egg when I, the white and the yellow. That's not for me. They're so yum. They all those different chocolate ones. Yeah, they could.

You've got to take it slow, though. You do have to take it slow. Remember when we did those deep fried cream egg... Oh, yeah. And then we did the cream egg toasted sandwich? Yeah. Oh, okay. That's good stuff.

I'm back on board. Yeah. So there's an ad in the UK for the Cadbury cream egg that has had more than 25,000 people sign an online petition to say the ad was offensive to Christians because at one stage Callum and Dale, who are

both males, they are a real life couple by the way, they're sharing a cream egg in their mouths and they bite down on it and then the goo comes out of the cream egg as they're sharing what people have termed to be a cream egg kiss. Now, people are saying it's gratuitously offensive to members of the Christian community as this is a Christian holiday and they have chosen a same-sex couple.

Cabaret are clearly hoping to cause controversy and escape criticism by claiming that any objections must be rooted in homophobia, but members of the LGBT community have also expressed their dislike for the campaign. Although they can't name anybody. Yeah. They've just said it. But Christians don't own cream eggs, do they? No.

But they own Easter. Well, they're not dressed up as Jesus kissing. There you go, Cadbury. There's your next. I will say, Callum, is Jesus like? Yeah, they do. They have beards and... Beards and long hairs. Yeah. This story says that

200 million cream eggs are eaten in the UK every year alone. Enough to make a pile 10 times the height of Mount Everest. Isn't that insane? If you stack them end on end. Well, I don't know if it's end on end or a pile. It says a pile. That to me would be a pile

of cream eggs. Surely it would be end on end. No, it wouldn't be a mountain, right? It would be a singular pole. We're not eating a mountain's worth of cream eggs. Oh, we probably are. How many did you say? How many 200 million? 200 million cream eggs.

That's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, it could be a giant mound. It could be. It would be huge. Where are we getting all that chocolate from? But, yeah, there's the conservative

meltdown about the fact that two men are kissing and it's to celebrate Easter and yeah, Jesus just had 13 dudes following him around

for years. So I mean, draw your own conclusions. They didn't really talk about any females hanging out with him, did they? And then he's like,

I'm off for three days rest and behind the rock I'll be back. And they're like, and he was actually in Ibiza. Yeah, you know he was. Just a little coast on. Just a coast.

Yeah. Get there on a trading boat in no time. So I've got the top six sexier cream egg moves that I won't explain, just name. Okay.

Okay, right. So this isn't even, you could maybe try this this Easter. Yeah, but again, they've just got names. There's nothing... Right, okay. No instructions?

Your minds are. This is exactly what you're doing. I'm holding a mirror up to your own filth. There'll be people listening and being like, oh, that sounds yum. And it might be, because you've got a more gentile mind than my two filthy cohorts here.

$10,000 cash is all yours, AJ, if you can tell us what that sound is. Come on, AJ. Oh, cool, man. I just thought I would just get this off my chest. Is it the sound of breaking ice on the ground? You know those party ice that you buy from, like, the gas station? Yep.

Oh, yeah, okay. On the ground? Yep. I just did this the last time. Forgive me if I'm wrong, everyone. Sorry. Threw a bag on the ground to break them? I love doing that because it's a rock solid bag from

a servo or the supermarket or the liquor store and you chuck it on the tiles. You're going to list every single place that sells bags of ice. We're all familiar with it. You've got your superstation, you've got your liquor store, you've got your supermarket, you've got your bait shop. I didn't want to leave any retailers out. It's very

important to be fair on the radio isn't it? It is. Thank you. It's a bag of ice. We all know where they are. Supermarkets. You back off. I won't leave my owner. You back off. And let's think every bloody place ice is for sale.

Oh, that guy that throws around a refrigerator at New Year's at beach places. Yeah, they sell them at some dairies, eh, in beach towns. Yeah. Coromandel. Thank you. We don't need to list all of them, Hayley. AJ, a bag of ice on the ground. Now, I will.

Hold on, hold on. I'll do yours as their champ. Thanks, mate. Previously, I don't know if you know this, you would know this because around your room, your dungeon there, there were photos of previous secret sounds at one stage. Yes, there were.

And, of course, breaking ice in the ice tray was a secret sound once upon a time. Oh, that. We twist it. The old twisting the ice tray. So do you think, did you know that, AJ? No, I did not know that, guys. Yeah. I was in sweat.

No, no. They do apologize. You listed every single place that sells ice. There's no need for you to apologize. Oh, fair. I'm expecting a written apology from Fletch, and Hayley can put a footnote on it. Thank you. Because she just tried to add to it. But this is

different. It is different, but I wonder if that's going near ice again. I mean, it might be a great ploy, because people, imagine if it's chopsticks again, no one would imagine that we'd go back to chopsticks. Should we find out? Let's do it. Everyone's quiet now? Okay.

We're good. Excuse me? Was that an intern speaking back in a tone? Shut it, radio man. To a senior announcer, a platinum level announcer. All right, AJ. Hello. Thank you for calling up.

I am sorry to say that is not the secret sound. But nobody loses. Nobody loses. Damn it. Stop apologising. Apology rejected. And nobody loses. AJ, you get $100 as well.

Every guest gets $100. Okay, well done. That might buy you 33 bags of ice from the supermarket or the service station. Okay, cut it out. Or a dairy or a fish and chip shop. They don't sell ice. When have you gone to a fish and chip shop and bought a bag of ice? Sometimes they have the fridge. She has a fridge around the house.

Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast, ZM. Producer Jared moved in with the media at the weekend. We talked about, if you missed it just before, they did have their first argument. That sounded like a hot argument over how to correctly get toothpaste out of the tube. Yeah, she squeezes it like a gorilla grip. Yeah. No.

Monster. Like if primitive man had toothpaste, that's how. Well, Producer Jared, this happened as you were going to bed on the first night in your new place. Yep, we'd just moved in. Spent the whole day lifting heavy things. And then upstairs, because we're in a granny flat, just started pumping out the doof doofs because they were having a party. And you're like, oh, we've signed a 12-month lease.

Yeah, should we rise? Cool. I did say, though, when you said it's underneath the house, I said, did you hear any noises? Did you do a check? And you said, no, that's fine. There's a gap. You said there's a gap. There was a gap.

There is a gap. The gap echoes the noise. Yeah. And you can't fight a doof-doof. No, but you can actually fight a doof-doof. Yeah, well, I'm interested to hear, because I think you only ever live in a downstairs flat once in your life. Yes, you do.

You know, fool me once. Yes. We did it, Aaron and I moved in to a downstairs flat very early on in the relationship. Upstairs, very, very noisy. You know, it's an old villa split into two, so there was nothing in between. Wooden floors.

Hard shoes, wooden floors. And then I actually found out it was my ex-boyfriend's brother living up there. So that added another layer of awkwardness. So we just popped out. Right. Cancelled that lease. Yeah, right.

So what happened when they were playing the doof-doof? So I, as a radio man, set up my very expensive, very high-powered speakers and started playing some very loud metal. Ooh, what did you choose? You fought doof-doof with doof-doof. Yep, so I got the soundtrack for a cartoon called Metalocalypse, if anyone knows it. I don't know what that is, no.

It's about a death metal band. Wait, there's a cartoon about a death metal band? Yeah, it's hilarious. It's so good. Okay, my cup of tea. Yeah. So we had that blasting, and about ten minutes later their party shut down.

Yes! Victory! Do you think they were just going to the club or your music was so terrible? Oh, I wouldn't say it was terrible. It was loud. Right. Our music was so loud it shut down their party.

That's how I'd swing it. Wow. Okay. I wonder how long it's going to take you because that sound of people. It's horrible. Yeah, what about the general non-duft of just the walking and such? Just stepping.

The walking's fine. There's one, I think it's either one flat made upstairs or like one part of the flat where there might be a big step because we hear this big bang every now and then. Right, right. Other than that, it's all good. Yeah, right. Okay, very petty though.

I'm proud of you. Thank you. It was petty. It was great. I love that. Almost as petty as me yelling out the window that I've got a baby. You know, with my neighbours at war. We talked about your neighbour at your old street.

They urinated on your car vents. Yeah, they did. Still smells. And I've been gone about a month now. What do you do with that? Yeah, there was many, when we talked about that, many tips on how to sort that out. But we've flushed it out because the intake's just

behind the wipers. I mean, you've had a lot of tips on how to do this. I have. And every time I get in, I'm like, ah. Gotta do that. Gotta get on with it. Vanilla extract? Did we talk about vanilla extract? Yeah, we talked about vanilla extract for cleaning the fridge when you move. Oh yeah, that's the great

aroma neutraliser. But we thought this morning we would, on the back of the story from producer Jared, talk about those times when you've had a petty... Back and forth. Yeah, with your neighbour. How petty did it get with your neighbours at war? Did you pee in their air conditioning vent? That's pretty petty.

I'd say that's very petty. Yeah, maybe you fought Music with music Noise with noise Yeah Fire with fire Oh no not fire with fire That's everybody Set it ablaze

But this is the thing We live so close to our neighbours And you know Sometimes it's not all I thought if you were In an apartment building And you were at your war Like you could literally

Have war on all sides You're above You're below You're left and you're right Yeah You could Oh gosh Nightmare Producer Jared's New flat downstairs have war on all sides. You're above, you're below, you're left and you're right. Yeah, you could. Oh, gosh. Nightmare.

Producer Jared's new flat downstairs. As rightly so. You only live downstairs once, don't you? Once in your life. We've all got to go through it. I was just thinking, I don't think I've ever lived in a downstairs flat. I dodged that bullet. Maybe when I move into my Ryman health facility, I'll be downstairs.

And I'll be like, hey,'ll be like no they don't have a downstairs they're all like little they do they have oh they have apartment buildings

lifts they have lifts in them right no stairs just a slide in case you've got to evacuate

because you know you can't because I want to ramp for my retirement home because I'm probably going to get one of those cool scooters

yeah I want one of those I want one now yeah I don't know why we're all waiting. I don't know why we are. Why wait to enjoy these things in life? So we want to know how petty you got with an argument with the neighbours.

Producer Jared fought loud music with some death metal. He fought doof-doof with death metal. And they turned the music off. So I think 1-0 to Producer Jared at the new flat. Tanya, how petty did it get with the neighbours? Well, so we lived in the downstairs flat,

and the floors were like black tile, so it was really loud anyway. Oh, yeah. And our upstairs neighbour, she wore high heels to work, and she'd put them on like as soon as she got dressed, so 6 o'clock in the morning, and she'd be clopping around the house for like an hour. So we would get her

back with the doof doof music and we'd play it at all hours as loud as we could. Did you ever talk to her and say,

hey, we hear every single step you take, every move you make, every breath you use? I'll be watching you. I'll be hearing you. We never actually

laid eyes on her. We never saw her. Do you think that if you just said to her, hey, look, maybe put your high heels on when you leave work, it all would have been avoided? Probably, but we were like 18. You've got to be a little proactive, like I am. The moment someone sneezes, a neighbour sneezes,

I'm over there knocking on the door. Do you mind? Gesundheit. Now shut up. We were just PT. Right. And then was that the only time you lived in a downstairs flat? Yeah.

Yeah. So you do it once. You do it once. Never again. Never again. Exactly. Tanya thinks you called some text messages. Somebody said, our neighbor's brute of a guard dog killed my cat when I was in high school.

So mom got a court order for their dog to be put down. That's not petty. That's ruthless. That's very much the deep end. Was your cat on there? If you're still listening to the show, after we just called this a savage move, was your cat on their property?

Because I feel like if your cat was over there, it's got to be nimble. Your cat on their property. Cats don't work like dogs. I should have learnt. Cats are not fenced in. They are free-roaming pets. Which is, Gareth Morgan and I absolutely agree. Oh, you just stop it.

Everyone with a cat should have a cat fence, which is a 12-foot-high electric impenetrable mesh fence. Protect the two-ie. Amen. Our neighbour's dog barks all the time, ringing the council many times, nothing being done. We now mow our lawns all the time Ringing the council many times Nothing been done We now mow our lawns at any time of the day

And do noisy outside jobs at 7am on the weekend But see they wouldn't know They'd be like Why are they mowing their lawns at that time? They have no idea that it's because They make noise themselves Like just have a conversation I think that's the moral of the story here

Just be honest Or pretend you have a conversation. I think that's the moral of the story here. Just be honest. Or pretend you have a crying newborn baby. Yes. Like you do. Like I do. Yep. Well, all of the bachelorettes for The Bachelor have been announced now. Of course, our bachelor is

Moses Mackay. Solamere. Solamir Singer. Great guy. You would have seen him on Celebrity Treasure Island. You would have indeed. We chatted with him last week, I believe. And so, yes, all the ladies have been named. And we have one of them in studio now, Negan.

Great to have you here. Negs, as you like to go by. Yep, that's right. Thank you for having me, guys. You're so welcome. And it's all been filmed. It's all in the bag. That's right.

The cat's in the bag. Wow. So you can't obviously give too much away because the show hasn't started. Then the cat would be out of the bag. The cat would be out of the bag. We don't want that. We don't want that responsibility. The cat's in the bag now.

Leave it in the bag. But tell us a little bit about filming. Why did you want to go on The Bachelor? So The Bachelor, hmm. Like for me, it was all about finding love and actually being out there why did you want to go on The Bachelor? So The Bachelor, hmm. Like for me, it was all about finding love and actually being out there and putting myself in such a spontaneous sort of experience doing so, like over fricking Tinder and the left and the rights

and, you know, the super likes. But yeah, I thought it would be something fully out of my comfort zone. And I think, yeah, it sort of helped me build as a person. You mentioned Tinder, you're a police officer. What's it like when you tell people you're a police officer on Tinder? How late do you tell them?

Or how soon do you say? You try to keep that out of your bio you know? You sort of don't put anything about your occupation in there because you don't know who's on there, what sort of can go out. So, yeah, trying to keep it. Maybe if you ever go back to someone's house and they're like,

oh, can you just wait outside? I'll sort of clear a few things. Stand by before you come in. Well, nothing too dodgy. It's just a couple of plants in there. A couple of my house plants. I might want to just sort of get rid of it. I don't think you'll like them.

How was the chemistry with the other ladies? Yeah, because on The Bachelorette, there's a real lads, lads, lads community amongst the contestants. And it's not very bitchy. You want it to be bitchy, don't you? Well, I mean, typically. For drama. The American one and the Australian ones are just,

they're a bit central. Catty as, but New Zealanders, we're not really that way inclined, are we? No, I feel like with us girls on the show, we're all like Kiwis and we all understand how it is to be like, you know, friendly. And I think that's a big thing for us. Like this year, you guys just have to stay tuned and watch.

But I feel like we're a really good bunch of girls with such beautiful stories. So you're just going to have to stay tuned and watch, but I feel like we're a really good bunch of girls with such beautiful stories, so you're just going to have to stay tuned, yeah. A little tease. Cat's still in the bag. The promo photo, Moses was wearing some glasses. Terrible glasses. Do you not like them?

No, I say fashionable. No. They make you look like you're on a register sometimes. At the wrong... What was your, like, first impression? fashionable. No. They make you look like you're on a register sometimes. What was your, like, first impression? Because you didn't know it was Moses, right? When you signed up, it could have been anybody. Yeah, so we don't really get told who the bachelor is. We sort of just,

you know, turn up and whoever it is, yeah, you sort of gotta go with it in a way. So, yeah, it's like that opportunity for love at first sight. And what was your first impression when you came out of the car? Were you like... Oh, I don't know if I could give you guys too much about

what sort of went on, but you're just gonna have to stay tuned to see. Yeah, let's go. Wow. I love this. I'm so curious and I want to ask so many questions but we're not allowed, are we? Well, we don't have long to wait.

The Bachelor New Zealand starts Tuesday, the 2nd of March. So after the Bachelorette finishes up. It just rolls straight in. Rolls straight through, rolls straight through. And you can catch that from the 2nd of March, 7.30 on TVNZ2. Negs, thanks so much for coming in. No worries, guys. Maybe, who knows, if you get to the end,

we might have you in again. We'll just have to wait and see. With Moses, see the chemistry. Cat's still in the bag. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. If you were listening in last week, I shared a long-winded tale, basically. It was revealed on my Trade Me Watch list.

I was watching a pink sink, to which Fletch replied, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. And then in fairness, in context, with the subway, the white subway tiles, and an old villa, it did look very cool. And then we put it to the masses in a poll, and about 70% of you guys listening also thought and there's been a lot of back and forth. Well you had a home and

what's that magazine? Home and Garden. Yeah, a Home and Garden magazine have approached me to do a feature on my pink bathroom once it's finished and I think for me that really proved a point that you guys have terrible taste and I was on the right track. Anyway, yesterday at 7.17pm, the auction closed.

Okay. Because last we heard, the sink had also skyrocketed after we talked about it. We'd drawn a lot of attention to the auction and the value. Yeah, I think what you're referring to there, Vaught, is the power of radio. Yeah. Yeah.

So what the power of radio did in this instance is force Chadwick, user Chadwick, to go into a bidding war with me. And so if you look at the bidding war, Hayley Chadwick, Hayley Chadwick, Hayley Chadwick, Hayley Chadwick, back and forth until the sink sold for $600 to Chadwick. $600 for a pink sink. For an old vintage pink sink.

Yep. Not even a new sink. Chadwick? What a fool. No, he got a lemon steel sheet. Hey, how much is a new sink? Look at this. In the questions and answers on the Tramee auction,

which I always read, there's some good stuff in there. One of them, of course, was drawing the seller's attention to our radio bit about the pink sink. The last question from user Jack Mitten, would you take $1,000? Oh, jeez. What? The seller said,

wow, this bathroom set owes us nothing, so we're keen to let the auction run. Thanks for the offer, though. So $1,000 the sink was prepared to go for. It ended up going for $6.05 only because I... They probably bought this villa and it had a pink bathroom and they're like, ooh.

Maybe, but you know what? Regardless, I don't have the sink. And now you're slightly miffed at us, at Vaughan and I. I think this is on you for drawing such a kerfuffle to this auction. And I'm now left sinkless. If you love ugly sinks, I've found

the website for you. Look at these disgusting sinks. Look at these overly decorated, dramatic gross sinks. Yeah, see, I was looking for a plain pink sink. You did find some people do make new pink sinks, surprisingly enough. A lot of people have been getting in touch, actually.

A couple over the weekend were in an op shop in Southland and they saw the pink sink. Would it have been a good pink sink? It was a great pink sink. Why didn't you take them up on the offer? Because we're on the opposite end of the country. This is the other power of radio. We could do a thing where your sink comes up the country. While someone else...

And we'll call it InSink. InSink! And we'll play an InSink song. Oh, he's been cancelled. Who? Justin Timberlake. No, he apologises. You have access to a pink sink.

Hit me up in my Insta DMs. What was this op shop? In Southland. In Vicargill. Well, don't tell everybody because in the... They're going to go and buy it. No, we'll zhoosh in there.

It was an antique shop in Riversdale, Southland. Oh, Rivers it. No, we'll zhuzh in there. It was an antique shop in Riversdale, Southland. Oh, Riversdale. Look at it. Oh, that's exactly the same thing. That's what you want. It's very similar.

Let's get you that sink. Oh, well, let's get it for you. It's a better sink. It's a better sink. It's a better sink. You guys truly feel quite bad about this, don't you?

No, not at all. I'm just excited now about a silly thing coming up the country. Just get a message and back and say, buy it. Buy it.

How much was it? We'll take care of the rest. These people are... Harry's of Riversdale is the coming up the country. Just get a message and back and say, buy it. Buy it. How much was it? We'll take care of the rest. These people are, Harry's of Riversdale is the name of the shop. Well, there you go. Get in there, get the pink sink

and we'll get it up for you. Okay, I'm going to call them. Yeah, get it done. Let's get the sink on the road. On the road again. And we'll call it in sync. Yeah. Well, no,

we've already established that. Stay tuned. There might be a better name. Don't sink like NZ sink. Yes. What about one in the pink? It's the pink sink. It's the pink sink.

Okay. One in the pink sink. One in the pink sink. Let's brainstorm off air. Okay. And if the sink comes through. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Stepping up to

the podium for the 10th year in a row. Your gold medalist. Where's my medal? Producer Jared, we may need your pack and save pin for Vaughan here. No, no, no. I stole this one from the hotel.

Great. Stealing? I feel these would be taken. They'd be at a take. Also, I just love that anytime I need a pen, producer Jared's here with a Pack and Save pen. He must have stolen boxes of them. Ever reliable. It is time there at Pack and Save.

All right. Where's my medal? We celebrate these small achievements in life, and then we award gold, medal, and then bronze and silver. Silver, bronze. People are very familiar with how medals work. Boy, I'm like the ice. I'm explaining

to everybody today in full detail how things work. You're just giving humanity a basic reboot of everything. Just a gentle reminder. You can buy bags of ice from the service station, the liquor store, the sit store. Thank you. The supermarket. Brains go at the lights.

Red means stop. Orange, slow down. Now, that's worth a reminder. Rachel. And don't. Rachel, this could be for you. Are we going to Rachel first? Rachel.

Don't put anything metal like a fork into the power outlets today. Or the microwave. Ah, yes. Yes, yes. And don't have a bath with your toaster Electricity's a tricky wee beast But it doesn't like water Well it loves water

Too much Well it's actually to be fair It's salt water that conducts electricity What? This has changed my whole perspective on the world That's absolutely purified water Because you get in the bath You're salty

And the fluoride Yeah Look at me like I'm the sweetest one in this room. And the Bill Gates microchips. Rachel, good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? Good, thank you.

Why do you deserve the medal? Well, I think I deserve it because I had to get up early yesterday morning to take my partner to the start line of his Around the Bays run. Oh, but you didn't do Around the Bays. Heck no. I love that. Lazy shit. He could have got there himself, couldn't he? Taking public

transport. I think so. That's awesome. To make it even better, I had to stand midway with a jar of pickle juice in case he needed it, in case he started cramping up. I'm sorry. Wait a minute. Hold on. Stop. Stop now. What? Pickle juice? Yeah, apparently pickle juice helps when you have cramps.

Yeah, but so does flat poke. So does just stopping and having a light stretch. Imagine he'll have a mouthful of dill and peppercorns. Yeah, apparently he didn't even need it at the end. He just gave me a high five. So I was holding a jar of pickle juice for the whole time. I would have pifted at him afterwards. I think you deserve a medal just for holding a pickle juice. So I was holding a jar of pickle juice for the whole time. I would have pifted at him afterwards. I think you deserve a medal just for holding

a pickle juice. We should change. Wait a minute. By the way, how long was the Around the Bays run? He did it in an hour and 37 minutes. But how many kilometres was it? 21k.

So it was a half marathon. But if someone was just doing the casual family 5K and they wanted a pickle juice half why tell them to piss off? Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I just googled

pickle juice for and I was going to cramps. Pickle juice for heartbeat, pickle juice for hangover, pickle juice for weight loss. Pickle juice for hangover. I've heard that one before. Drink a bit of pickle juice.

Maracle juice. Maracle juice. Because isn't it just vinegar? It's predominantly vinegar. But it's been endowed with the pickle. Yeah. And the diluted peppercorns. Miracle juice. Well, isn't it just vinegar? It's predominantly vinegar. But it's been endowed with the pickle. Yeah, and the diluted peppercorns. Yeah, right. Because if you keep the pickle juice after you finish the bottle,

because you've probably got some spare now, Rachel, soak chicken wings in it for a couple of days. Oh. And then you soak them in buttermilk, and then you crumb them and deep fry them. That's how you get the good chicken wings. All right. The pickle juice tenderizes them. and deep fry them. That's how you get the good chicken wings. All right.

The pickle juice tenderizes them. Rachel, wait there. Let's go to Katie. Katie, why do you deserve a medal? Hey, guys. So I went on a wine tour with my friends over at Martinborough over the weekend. Okay. And I didn't get written off.

Holy shit. Are you an adult? I'm 25, so no. And when you were doing the wine tastings, you didn't use the spittoon? No, you can't have them now because of COVID. Oh, of course. So down it goes.

Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah, very grown up. What are you talking about? The next day, was there any dustiness to you? Or were you like... Fresh as a fiddle.

Fresh as a fiddle, yeah. Yeah. Nothing. I bet your friends hated you the next morning. What a waste. We was a few dusty ones, yeah. It is fit as a fiddle. Fresh as a...

Yeah, fresh as a fiddle. A fiddle leaf fig. That's hard because on a wine tour, you don't eat a lot, do you? No. Don't? I always do. Oh, really? Oh, my God. I love the breads. I'm like, oh, gosh, we get halves in a platter, you don't eat a lot, do you? No, don't. I always do. Oh, really? Oh, my God.

I love the breads. Oh, gosh, we get halves in a platter and then I eat way more than half. You eat the platter. And then it comes to pay and they're like, Vaughan should pay at least half of that platter. Oh, Vaughan's already gone. Dieter, why do you deserve a medal? Good morning, team. Morning.

I deserve a medal because I have been able to water all my houseplants without actually killing them. Yes. I can relate to that. I've killed a lot of houseplants. Yeah, we've got one looking very spongy at the moment. I found this tool at the hardware store that you poke into the soil. Oh. And it tells you the moisture levels.

Okay. And then of course... But then with different houseplants, do you then Google how moist they need to be? That's all you need to do. So as soon as you know what the little needs are, you can match the moisture levels to that. But essentially, as the soil is dry, you water it.

If the little tool tells you there's moisture in the soil, you just leave it until it's dry. And that way... Wow. Because water... Overwatering, number one killer of plants. If the little tool tells you there's moisture in the soil, you just leave it until it's dry in that way. Wow. Overwatering, number one killer of plants. That's what makes your leaves go brown at the end, isn't it? Yeah, because I've done that.

I actually repotted some. Our peace lily was outgrowing its pot. I repotted. Now we've got three peace lilies. Oh, yeah. Those are very poisonous for cats. Yes, I know. Yeah, we've got three peace lilies in a cat.

Soon you're going to have three peace lilies and no cat. Soon you're going to have three-piece lilies and no cat. No. If the cat eats the piece of lily. All right, it's time for the medal ceremony now. Bronze, silver, and gold. The deliberation panel. What are you doing? What are you doing? Fletch is giving his two cents.

No, you're not even speaking English. You're just holding up fingers. So, gold medal. No, you've got to work from the back, don't you? Are you? Yeah, that's... Do the big reveal. Bronze first. That.

Um. That. I mean, this is admirable. What do you think of that? Are you happy with that? I'm just happy with what you think of that? Yep. Are you happy with that? Yeah. I'm just happy with what you choose, Warn. Yeah, I didn't even look at it. You showed us and I said yes.

I'm glad to have that sort of unbridled power. Bronze medal today for Where's My Medal. For services to houseplants. They keep our inside air fresh. And he's not killing them. Dieter, congratulations. A bronze medal. Thank you very much. Well done.

Silver medal today for services unto herself. But not the hospitality industry. Because they like when you get written off. It means you've spent some money. Katie, congratulations on going to Martinborough and not ending up with a hangover. Well, thanks, guys. Silver medal.

Well done. Good achievement there. Good achievement. Bye for the party. Which means for her services to lazy boyfriends that will run a half marathon but not find their own way to the start line. And then, on top of that transport, carrying around a jar of pickle juice looking like a weirdo

who likes to sip on pickle juice. For a partner that didn't even end up wanting the pickle juice, Rachel, you are today's gold medal winner. Congratulations. Huge. Yeah, pickles. Yeah, pickles. I'll give you that.

Pickles are delicious. Next time, are you going to be like, put some pickle juice in a camelback and drink that if you're cramping? Yep. Or just give them a spray bottle and just spray it on them while they run past. Oh, to get all over us. Load up a super smoker with pickle juice.

It's just going to open your mouth. Boom, boom, boom. ZM's $50,000 secret sound thanks to Star launching tomorrow night on Disney+. More movies, more episodes, more originals. You can check out Disney+, NZ on Insta for more. $10,000 is the current jackpot. We welcome Courtney.

It's a survival dungeon. Right, Courtney, what is your secret sound guess? I wondered if it was a lightsaber. Oh, much of a Star Wars fan, are you? Would we be allowed to use a lightsaber? Maybe that amount of a lightsaber would not breach. Copyright. Copyright.

Just the beginning of it before it goes. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It's more of a meow than a pfft. But then Kylo Ren's lightsaber had the cracked kyber crystal and it came out the sides. He had the red one, eh? Yeah, and when they touch, they do make a...

Oh, yes, they do. Yep. Could be. Could be just a snippet of that. Just a snippet. Loud snippet of that. All right, well, I'll give you the answer. I wouldn't trust myself Just a snippet. A loud snippet of that. All right. Well, I'll give you the answer.

I wouldn't trust myself with a lightsaber. I reckon I'd stab myself. You can't even trust yourself with those smeg knives. You'd be absolutely... You'd be armless. I'd have my thumb over the top, you know, and you'd be pushing it. Or have it round the wrong way and set it off

and just straight through your throat. Go through your guts. Goddamn lightsabers. All right. Courtney, thank you for calling in. But that is not the secret sound. No. Courtney, nobody loses, though,

because we give everybody that guesses incorrectly $100 cash. So that's all yours, Courtney. Oh, thank you. Oh, that's very awesome. Thank you. That's right, everyone. I touched the you. Oh, that's very awesome. Thank you. That's right, everyone. I touched the button. I think you pushed a button.

I've lightly caressed the button. Do you remember that Sugar Babes song, Touch the Button? Yeah. Touch the button and let me know. And then I touch the button and touch it again. I don't remember the song. I remember the tune, not the lyrics. Yeah. Okay. We've got

a jackpot. Yes. Okay, so the jackpot for The Secret Sound, it's now at $15,000. $15,000. Good bump there. Good bump. Alright, so your next guesses are coming up with Georgia at 11-1 and then this afternoon with Bree and Clint,

although it's, produce Caitlin, is she back again this week? I believe so. I think she is. Yep. Four and five. So chances right throughout the day. And the Instagram as well, if you want to see all the incorrect guesses.

ZM Secret Sound. Yep. Follow that. All right. Camping at the weekend for my birthday. Just one night, just to test, just to test the waters.

That was your wish, wasn't it? That was your birthday wish To go camping Yeah I want to sleep more What are you, a little boy? I love doing stuff like that My birthday wish, I want to go camping with my family

Hey mom, hey mom, let's go camping Your father would have loved to have taken you camping Oh my god, my life just took a turn Now I'm rewriting my own history Camping. Your father would have loved to have taken you camping. Oh, my God. My life just took a turn. Now I'm rewriting my own history. If he hadn't run off with that other woman. I don't want him to take me camping, Mom.

I want you to take me camping. Okay, that's enough of that. Boy is in the weirdest mood today. What happened this weekend? I was so tired and then something happened and it triggered this meltdown. I can literally see behind you your fingerprints on the glass where you slapped your hands before and screamed. Yeah, yeah. When I was doing my monkey in the cage walk back and forward

like I was going to attack the children who were there to see the monkey. What's in this coffee you've been having? That's a good call. It's that Greg's Red Ribbon Roast. Okay. Didn't cocaine, didn't some Kellogg's, didn't not Kellogg's, but didn't, why do I say it like that?

I don't know. There's another time for another time. No, this was in America. The customs officers found cornflakes that were covered with cocaine. Yeah. Did you have cornflakes? Maybe it was in this coffee shipment.

I don't know. But anyway, I went camping and had a wonderful time. Here's the surprising thing. We were given a new tent by Kathmandu. Oh, that's right. We did the promotion. Yeah. And they said, why would your family like a tent?

And I said, thank you so much, Kathmandu. And then we never over the summer found time to use the Kathmandu tent. So this was the first time, you know, oh, my God, how good is it when a tent comes packed and you're looking at it and you're like, you're never going to fit back in this bag. Why are you looking at us like tent is relatable material? You guys ever unpack a tent? No.

So I was worried that the tent assembly would end in an argument. And just the whole camping weekend? The whole camping weekend. And I tell you what, we got through. We put up a tent, ladies and gentlemen. Ten years and something married, 16 years together. This is the couple that can't play board games. Yep.

The closest we got to a fight the whole weekend was a game of Uno, where Sade... Oh, did you pick up 15 on her? No Shade You can't pile them on You can't pile them on one on top of the other

I was Uno and I was getting ready because I kept my wild card the ultimate last card to hold in a game of Uno Oh my gosh Trump's all Yeah

and just as I was about to play it I'd said Uno it was getting to my turn Shade skipped me and so it went back to Indy August Shade finished. Yeah, good play.

Good play, Sade. I couldn't be angry at her. It was a phenomenal move. I was very proud of her ruthlessness, but it was against me, so I felt somewhat betrayed. So you erected this tent with no... There was not an argument. The tricky little, you know, like me and Aaron,

we do a bit of camping together, to be fair. And we argue every time. I'm in a huff. I'm strolling off. You do it on your own. Yeah. It didn't happen. There was a good bit of like leadership.

Did you take charge? I took charge. Major, minor. And then Sade followed instruction and offered critique in a way that I did not find aggravating. She offered critique and you still didn't argue? I know. She said, no, I don't think that one goes through. I don't think we, oh, that was, I think we should do that poll before we do that one.

And I was like, a good call. I would have been like, you shut it. And then I would have discovered she was right. Because Vaughn likes to put up the polls that hold the awning opening first. And it was like, Vaughn, do that last. I'm a madman. That's the last thing. I'm an absolute madman.

But it went up. And then here I thought, well, we've done that. And then taking down the tent, I thought. There'll be an argument there. Tempers would be frayed as we'd slept on an air mattress. It's harder to take down a tent. It's never going to go back in the same bag. It's always a bit damp and there's grass clippings in it.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. So we had to leave the tent up until it dried out. Took the fly off it, dried that out, and then folded down the tent. Here's the most surprising thing. No argument on the takedown either, and it fit back in the bag.

Wow. It fit back in the bag. What is this magic Kathmandu tent? I know. Wonderful tent. And so we put it up, camped, took it down. No argument. Astonishing.

Now that's the usual argument territory of that. So this morning we wanted to know when you were expecting an argument, but it didn't happen. It didn't eventuate. Maybe you really wanted an argument. Maybe you were. Yeah, maybe one of the duo, one of you or your partner wanted it, but it just didn't happen.

Yeah. Oh, I'm always keen. I'm always raring to go I'm like a simmering pot Just ready Put the lid on And I'm gonna boil Put the lid on

And you're gonna be doing that Those white bubbles That come out And go under the pot And then We're talking about When you maybe Expected an argument

Or Something to go wrong And it just didn't With your partner And it didn't Like when you're doing Something really stressful Yeah

And something that Typically triggers an argument for you two. But maybe it bound you, you know? Maybe you were both like, well, we're all doing our best here, so there's no point to fight. A night camping, no fights at all. The tent went up, the tent went down. Amazing. No problems at all.

Chanel, you were also camping, but for more than a night, 10 days. Yeah, hey guys, how are you? Good, good. So you were expecting an argument. Yeah, so we'd been camping for 10 days about two years ago over New Year's and a cyclone came through. So the second day of us taking on water, we decided that it was time to kind of get out of there.

So fully, fully expected. Married eight years, together 12. Fully expected there to be divorce on the table because, like, not cool. And we managed to pack up an entire campsite with two kids in just over an hour. Not one, not one argument, not one disagreement, not one negative word. Nothing. So much so that the people in the permanent caravans over from us stopped us as we left and were like,

we need to commend you because we sit here and watch people pack up campsites all the time and that was amazing. We both kind of got in the car absolutely drenched going, what the heck just happened? I think everyone was just probably stoked to be getting home. Were you hot for each other after that? Did that kick start a little? If the kids weren't in the car. Yes! Yes, we were in a state highway, one wrestler on the way home.

Brilliant. Chanel, thanks for your call. Brooke, when were you fully expecting an argument, but it didn't happen? Oh, literally last night, my partner and I were meeting our family for dinner, and I always take my car keys with me, even if I'm not driving, so that we've got, like, a spare set of house keys. Okay.

But I saw them on the dressing table, and I thought, I don't need to. I don't need them. And my partner had taken the wrong keys, and we got locked out of the house. And I was just like, oh, my God, we're already late, and we're those people that are always late to everything. And this time I wanted to be early.

But I just stayed calm. And my mum ended up making a harpoon out of, like, bits of wood and old screws and, like, strict plant strings and hooking the keys from my dressing table. Whoa! A harpoon! No wonder you're not angry. You're married to MacGyver

meets Indiana Jones. I know. Wow. And it was all like chest puffed up because I was like, you're such a hero. And he was like,

yeah, stroke that ego. And then afterwards because there was nothing, were you hot for each other? Oh, well, yeah.

Yeah! It was late. It was late. Yeah, it's overrunning late. It's overrunning late. Yeah, we had to go to grandma's 93rd birthday. It must have been very easy just to make a little comment like,

why didn't you bring the keys? Yeah. The right keys. I know. And my thing is always, oh, you wouldn't let me hook it. You know, like I would always argue like, I can do it. I'm capable. Yeah.

But I just didn't. And I was like, you know what? It's not worth it if I'll drop the keys. Yeah, see, I can do it. I'm capable. Yeah. But I just didn't. And I was like, you know what? It's not worth it. I'll drop the keys. Yeah, see, that's the thing. Yeah, that's a little bit of a restraint showed on everybody's behalf and no arguments. Thanks, you're cool.

Brooke, some text messages. I expect that I'd argue with my husband on our eight-week-long round-the-world trip. Oh. There was only one slight disagreement for the whole trip, and that was because he didn't wake me up for our in-flight meal,

and I woke up to see his empty meal plate. Oh, no. See, I wouldn't come back from that. I hope that was on the flight home. Yeah. Because that's going to be thrown in your face at every corner, right? Oh, no. But then it's like, do you want to wake them up?

They're sleeping. You don't want them grumpy. No, but you order them a meal for when they're ready. Yeah, you leave it on their... You say, oh, I know what she wanted or all of that. Yeah. And when she wakes up, baby got you dinner. Yeah.

But they didn't fight over it. Slight disagreement. Wow. That is expected as. I thought I'd try to argue my point with hubby. After baby three, instead of him returning to work, I would return to work and he could be a stay-at-home parent. Yeah.

I was stealing myself. That's what they said. Stealing themselves for an argument. They'd galvanized, they'd given themselves a hot galve dip for the argument. Said my bit,

waited for the worrying questions about worries about finances, et cetera, et cetera, but he said, yep, that would actually be really good. I should bond, spend more time bonding with the kids. I'd love to just be a stay at home

housewife and look after the cat. Would you? You don't have a husband to send back to work. Yeah, who's earning the money? I think crazy cat lady is what you've just described. What I'd like to do is not work and stay at home with my cat and maybe get another cat and then around the corner

maybe another cat and never work again. It sounds like the absolute dream, doesn't it? It does. It absolutely does. Yeah, do it with kids and you're like a great stay-at-home dad. Do it with cats. All of a sudden, you're crazy. Fleshfawner Megan, the podcast, ZM.

Fact of the day, day Kirsten Dunst. Remember when everyone was just like, Kirsten? And then Americans say, Kirsten. Kirsten. Kirsten. Yeah, and she did, her and her husband, GC... Plemons. They did Managed Isolation, didn't they?

Yeah, they were here in New Zealand for ages filming a project that they were both in. Yes. Yeah, because he's an actor. He's a good actor, yeah. He's a freaky actor. Yeah. I wonder if he's just like,

could you just make me like a normal character that doesn't put the heebie-jeebies in people for once, please? Nah. He's in Breaking Bad. Todd on Breaking Bad, and he was in that episode of Black Mirror. And he did Fargo as well. Yes.

It was one of the seasons of Fargo. That's where they met. Yeah. That's where they met, and they started dating after they'd started together in Fargo in 2016. But today's fact of the day about Kirsten Dunst is I did not know this. She was part of an art exhibition that was displayed at London's Tate Modern Museum

from October 1, 2009 to January 17, 2010. You might be thinking, what did Kirsten Dunst? Please say Kirsten. No, Kirsten, because that's how she says it. Okay. So you're going to say Kirsten. Kirsten. But then just Dunst.

Dunst. Going to Kiwi up the last name, really American up the first name. Well, her role was she was dressed as a majoko, which is a magical princess in Japanese anime. And she was singing and she was singing. This was, again, I'll remind you, 2009. Okay. When you maybe could have got away with this.

I feel like even as an art installation, if it happened now, there'd be questions. Okay. She sings. Turning Japanese. Oh. And is dancing around. And I thought, when I saw this music video, I was like... I didn't even know she had dipped her toe into music.

But she has. I didn't know that either. But this one wasn't like for a commercial release. This is the only place that this was seen. It's now on YouTube. But the only place it could be seen was part of this art installation. I've got a great scene. A company music video actually filmed in Japan.

How old was she when she did this? Well, it was in 2009, so what, like 11 years ago? So, bless the internet for turning something she was like, oh, some underground art thing. No one's going to see it. Yeah, no one's ever going to see it. It's a free trip to Japan. Yeah, I love that.

I would do that for a free trip to Japan. Yeah. I don't know why they chose her, though, because she's... Interesting. Yeah, she's... Interesting. Yeah, she's not like the world's greatest singer. I mean, nothing, I couldn't do any better.

I'm not saying I could do better but I'm not sure why they wanted her to, why they particularly chose her to do it. It's quite high as well. Yeah.

So today's fact of the day is... Well, we didn't all go to drama school although she probably did. Well, maybe she did. Hold on, I've got a Wikipedia right there. Is she? No, she didn't go to drama school. Although she probably did. Or maybe she did. I've got her Wikipedia open. Is she?

No, she didn't go to drama school. She started super young. Early work. Well, if she'd done a performing in music like you did, she wouldn't be as high. She was... I would ask them to bring it down at least two times. She's 38 now,

so she should have been in her 20s when she did this. So today's fact of the day Is Kirsten Dunst Once sung Kirsten Dunst Kirsten Famous from the Spider-Man movies

Yep Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies Once sung I'm turning Japanese For an art installation Fact of the day Day

Day Day Day Yeah Day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, Friday were the first people got the jabs, the COVID jabs, the vaccines. Frontline workers? No, the people on the Friday were the jabbers.

Oh, okay. So they got the jabs before the frontline workers because they have to give the jabs. That jabbers. Oh, okay. So they got the jabs before the frontline workers because they have to give the jabs. That makes sense. That makes sense. So they got the jabs. Then Saturday was frontline workers started to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to lessen the effects and stop the spread

and all the good things vaccines do. And then they're going to start with their families, their kind of next, the families of all the people that work on the frontline. Correct, yes. Which makes sense because you don't want them coming home, they're more likely to infect the people they live with. Correct. If it does get through. They might have a little something they might

bring home. Like the last case, the last outbreak. Where am I in the line-up as a young, healthy woman? Did you see that story over the weekend? They got caught in America dressing up as old women. What?

A couple of guys. I don't know if it was a couple of guys or a couple of girls. They dressed up as old women and they got caught getting their second shot. But don't you think

they'd notice? So they'd already got the first shot. Don't you think they'd notice giving the jab where they're like, hello, darling.

They roll it up because they're very taut muscles. Muscular, young skin. Like a 20-year-old's arm. Yeah. So they were getting their second. muscles. Muscular, young skin. Like a 20-year-old's arm. Yeah. So they were getting their second. Yeah.

So they've obviously got away with getting their first. So they went back to get the booster, to get the follow-up. Okay. So that's not going to happen here, please. No. Just wait your turn. Oh, yeah, please.

I guess the high risk people will be the next on the list. The older people and people who Have conditions that would Heighten the effects A lot of people had these questions Jacinda on her Instagram has done a big Q&A I think it was like 15-20 minutes of Questions that people had submitted her This though, I believe the final question

Was the question Of the evening And the final question What percentage of people will blow up and turn purple like Violet from Willy Wonka? Great question. I haven't seen any particular research

written about the percentage of people who will blow up and turn purple like Violet from Willy Wonka. So I can only assume that that is not a documented side effect, which is good news for all of us. It is good news. I'm so glad my question got through because she must get bombarded with stuff.

Yeah, you had real concerns and they've been put to bed. Have you ever seen the questions coming through when there's any live press conference or she does a live Q&A? Well, when there were the 1pm updates, I wasn't home one day so I wanted to watch it on my phone. So I found a place that I think was the Herald were doing a live stream of it. And I couldn't get rid of the comments down the bottom. God, people are dicks.

Yeah. They're dumb as, you take it first. You vaccinate yourself if it's so safe to see. She's so patient. She really indulges us. But then if she vaccinated it, because did you see the Aussie Prime Minister vaccine like pushed in front of all the old people and got a vaccine?

And then, yeah, that's the other thing. You get the vaccine before everybody else gets the vaccine. You've prioritised yourself and there's no winning to it. Yeah. What a ScoMo thing to do. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

Are we big perfume wearers? I'm not. Vaughan, you are. podcast. ZM. Are we big perfume wearers? I'm not. Vaughan, you are. You kind of can get compliments. Yep. People will say who smells nice. It's always you. Thank you.

I haven't really thought about it too much. I'm going to contest that because. Because you smell manky. Because last week, remember, I ran out of deodorant. Yeah. At home. Yeah. And I texted the group and I said,

ladies, meaning the ladies, can someone please bring me some deodorant? I've run out. Vaughn to the rescue. He said he had a gender neutral deodorant. And the amount of comments, I had a PT session that day and I stunk to high hell. You smelt like a mechanic.

I did. How do you get it to last? I don't feel like it lasts. The scent of it doesn't last that long. Like perfume. Yeah. I've got a very absorbent skin. I've got a very, very porous epidermis. I don't put the perfume on every day. Like I'd only spray it if I was going out. Right. Oh, right. A special occasion perfume. Yeah. Like a burly trail. You're out there spray it if I was going out. Right. Oh right, a special occasion perfume wearer. Yeah. Like a burly trail. I'm a no perfumer because I am an eczema.

I'm an eczema girl. Oh right, okay. And I get it on my neck and I forget sometimes I spray perfume on. I'm an eczema girl in an eczema world. But have you seen, so there's this perfume come out. It's called Molecule 01. And it's gone absolutely crazy.

And it's scentless. Hear me out. So it's water? Yes. No, no, hear me out. So Molecule 01 is a perfume that uses a single chemical which boosts your natural scent. It mixes with your, it comes into contact

with the pheromones, your own, very individual, your pheromones on the skin and it produces a unique scent that apparently

because you can't smell your, I don't know what I genuinely smell like, you can't smell your own pheromones. So the person wearing it can't smell it. But it can be detected by other people. And it's just gone absolutely crazy.

So everything, have you ever wondered what you smell like to everybody else? You've also got to trust that they are actually putting this chemical in because there's no way of knowing. I don't know what. I guess I just smell like my body wash. You have a smell. Yeah. Like, I can't describe it.

It's not bad, but you have a smell. Me, I do. Yes, yeah. You have a smell and your house, your apartment has that smell. Yeah. Like, I can't describe it. It's not bad, but you have a smell. Me, I do. Yes, yeah. You have a smell and your house, your apartment has that smell. Your smell. So there's your fear of mice. So my nana had a smell. Every now and then it's... But nana smells are like old mothballs. No, not my nana. My nana smelled lovely.

She smelled like a mixture of like baking and like fresh laundry. But that's not her body smell. No, but it's her smell that's associated with her. Yeah, everyone has a smell. My nan's house smells like her old house used to. It's a combination of things that they frequently use. Right.

And you don't know your own smell because you live in it. Yeah. But, you know, I'd imagine people come to our house and we have a smell, like the Smith house has a smell. It's a smell. But it's hard because there's so many factors like body wash, moisturiser and perfume. Like my mum has a smell, but I associate my mum with her perfume.

Like many of us would. You know, you smell your perfume like, oh my God, that person. Yeah, you smell your mum in the wild, eh? I'm trying to sniff my own skin because I use quite a neutral moisturiser. Again, ex-Marie, itchy girl. Yeah. I just smell like oats. So this is the sexiest of Yeah. I just smell like oats. So this... Oats.

The sexiest of smells. I smell like gruel. Like rolled oats. Please. I may have some more. I smell like rolled milky oats. So apparently this is blowing up and, like, flying off the shelves because lots of celebrities are getting behind it.

Right. It's quite expensive. It's about $150 for 100 mils. Okay. For something with no scent, you'd expect to be paying for a scent with that. I'd try it though. This is something you'd wear on a date then,

if it's pheromones, because you'd want people to be attracted to them, right? It doesn't necessarily mean that people are going to be attracted to them though, because pheromones... Are personalized. Yes. So you might sometimes see someone,

no one would ever dare say this, but myself and my wife, for example. You might be thinking, what does she see in him? She's far more attractive than him. She could be with a millionaire. I must have dolled in the pheromones. All right. So my pheromones are right up her alley.

So we've finally explained that mystery. Pheromones. There you go. Pheromones. I do have a manly musk. So then if somebody's single, how do they get their pheromones out There you go. I do have a manly musk. So then if somebody's single, how do they get their pheromones out there? How do they get their fish stuff?

But they can't necessarily, not everyone's going to love your pheromones. And what if your base core pheromones are gross? Or, there's a pheromone out there for everybody, right? Yeah, or you could have great pheromones but you're hiding it with Lynx Africa. Yeah. Or maybe your pheromone out there for everybody, right? Yeah, or you could have great pheromones, but you're hiding it with Lynx Africa.

Yeah. Yes, dousing it with Lynx Africa. Or maybe your pheromones smell exactly like Lynx Africa. But again, there's someone out there for Lynx Africa. Yeah. Or everybody. I want to try it. Is it in New Zealand or just UK or overseas?

I think it's in the UK. But I'll pay what it takes. To get it over. To get it over. To get my pheromones out there. All right, you've already locked in Greg Rover from Nova. Yeah, I know, but what if my pheromones attract other people? And then I find out that actually it works the right way. That's actually not how you function in a healthy relationship.

That sounds like the classic. We're only 10 years in. We're early days. That sounds like that classic not Mr. Right, but Mr. Right Now. Right. Take a look at yourself. I want Mr. Right, but Mr. Right Now. Right. Take a look at yourself. I want Mr. Right pheromones. Flesh, fauna, Megan.

Today's fact of the day is that there are many elements named after countries. Okay. None of them are any good. They're all like lately discovered rare ones. Elements like? Elements.

Nitrogen. Hydrogen. Helium. Lithium. Beryllium. Boron. Carbon. Nitrogen.

Oxygen. Oh, damn it. No, that was me. I was out of the list. Nerds. Yeah. I was going through the list. I was out. I was out of oxygen. Nerds. Yeah. I was going through the list. I was out.

I can't do any. H2Go? That is a water brand. That is a brand of bottled water. That is water. That is not even water's chemical compound. That's water. H2Go?

H2Go Extreme? DanNet Marketing. Yeah. 2H2O, by the way, just to be particularly nerdy about the correct amount of hydrogen atoms. So Argentina is in fact the only country that's named the other way around. Argentina is named after an element. Okay. What element do you think it is?

Don't fall into the argon trap? Don't fall into the Argon trap Tina Is there one called Tina? Is it Ti, titanium Is that a thing? Argen Argon

Argo Argen oil No It's named after Argentum Which is the Latin name for silver Oh lovely It's what they used to call silver So when the early Spanish and Portuguese explorers

got there in the 16th century, they said, oh, this land will be riddled with silver. Okay. Because it's very, very similar geographically. It's very similar to our silver mines back home. Okay. And in areas that we're familiar with that already have silver mines.

So we will call this Argentina, the land of silver. Oh, okay. The land of Argentum, which is Latin for silver. And I bet we're going to find heaps of silver here. Did they? Didn't read that far in, eh? Is Argentina known for their silver? Argentina, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, economy other than silver.

Yep, they did find one. They did, they did. Oh, that's good. I was going to say, I've seen them using silver cutlery. Have you? So. Wow. There you go.

Fantastic. That's fine. Okay, good to know. Not a gold country. Not a gold country. Periodic. Silver, the atomic number 47, symbolizes A-G. That's why, because you know how gold's A-U?

Yeah. And silver's A-G. It's because of their Latin names. Ag. Aggie. So today's fact of the day is Argentina is the only country named in the world after an element, and that element is silver, or as the people who speak Latin called it, not the Latinos. Yeah.

Argentum. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Vaughan's birthday surprise. Well, it is Vaughan's birthday tomorrow. Are you doing anything exciting for your birthday? Yeah, we're going camping. Okay.

I'm not that excited about that. No, I really want, I just wanted to sleep on the beach for the night, but then you know how when it's your birthday you don't get to do what you want to do? Oh, you said you're going camping. No, but I wanted to just sleep on the beach. Oh, but Sade and the girls didn't. They want to sleep in a camping ground with facilities and stuff.

So you know how when it's your birthday you just compromise on what you wanted to do because it's your special day? Oh, okay, right. Oh, right. Wow. You really need a gift. So we have managed

to find something that I 100% know you will love. Okay. You truly are a man who has everything. I'm with you. A great family.

Okay. A great job. Friends. A great car. Great friends. Great work colleagues. Yeah, all of the above. It's excessively hard to think of something.

But I know that you want this because I've heard you say how much you would want one of these. I couldn't believe how expensive this was when you told me what it was. Okay, would you like to find out what your present is? Yeah.

Okay. Epic is an understatement. Valued at $1,500. From a galaxy far, far away. It's the ultimate gift for any Star Wars fan. With 7,500 pieces, it's the largest Lego set ever created. Born, may the force be with you. Your birthday present is

the Lego Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon. Wow! That's cool! He's so excited, isn't he? That's cool. That's really cool. May the force be with you.

Okay. What do I have to do? Here it comes. Can I, I was, I was, when we were talking about organising this, I was thinking this is kind of mean if it doesn't work out for you. But then I remember that time we burnt, we gave Megan's birthday present away. Those lovely shoes to a listener.

And you took great joy in that, didn't you? I took great pride in it, yeah. Because you have to earn your birthday present today. Okay. Because if you don't, do you know who else wants that present? Everybody. Producer Jared. Oh yeah, he does. You want this present more than Vaughan, I reckon. Oh yeah, I'm coming

for you, mate. Oh no, what do we have to do? Well, the whole office pitched and we had to get promos to organise this. And, you know, you are known as someone who doesn't really come to work functions. Oh. In the short time I've been here, you've pulled out of every staff.

Yeah, yeah. So we thought, well, if you, you know, if you really want this team present, you can earn it. So all you have to do to have, to take home this birthday present is name five people from the work office and their job title. Carl Fletcher, Breakfast Radio.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They are waiting at the door to come in. Five people. They're interns. They're interns. I don't know this guy's name. Take a seat. I'm going to make myself comfortable for this one.

Okay. He's the one that, I call him the mature student. Oh. No, these are all interns. I don't know any of these people. They're not all interns. These are the... I don't know any of these people. They're not all interns. On! Hold on.

Hold on. I know it's Croatian. No! Oh, my God. You were so sure. This is the prison of your dreams, Vaughn. Think. I don't know these people.

You have heard these names before. I haven't heard these names. Hayley and I know them all. Yeah. Bullsh, you only know them all because you organised this. I don't think I've been introduced individually to the interns. That's because you go home early. Mel.

Al. Melly. Melly, lelly, lelly, lelly. You have a whole segment on this show where you guess people's names. Okay, I'll tell you what. You only have to name three out of five correctly. Look, you're getting me so hopefully, intern. This is horrible.

And nobody is called intern. That's a job title. That's not their name. So you've got half of it because we do want their job description as well. So intern. Intern. You just pointed to me.

I'm not an intern. I'm a maternity leave cover. I feel like you've been here longer than an intern. You've got a full-time job. That's why she looks pissed off. Yeah. I call her the new Caitlin. Because she looks a full-time job. That's why she looks pissed off. Yeah. I call her the new Caitlin. Because she looks

like Caitlin. I think. The new Caitlin. You say as you finger point her. The new Caitlin. $1500 Lego set. What about from the executive branch? I know you've emailed me.

I thought... Well, this is horrible. I'm just not very good with faces, you know? You know the faces. You know the faces. I know the faces. Yeah, yeah, right. If you're like Denise, people work here.

Apart from this guy, I'd never seen him before in my life. He's been here a long time. He hasn't, he hasn't. I don't think he even works here. I think he's a trick. He's a plant. Everybody works here. They've all got a swipe card.

This one, this one, and this one are interns. Did you get that much correct? Is that correct? Yeah. Okay, that's correct. Okay, job title. We'll give you one point. Executive assistant to the executive people of management.

Yes. Is that your official job title? Executive person to the executive people? EA, right? Is that what they call it? Yeah, EA. And she goes by the name of... I'm just...

Can I get how far back in my emails can I go? I thought that's the one you were like, she gave me some great tips about Croatia. No! She works at level two. Yes, I thought she came down from level two. No! Jesus Christ!

Damn it! Producer Gerard, would you like to come in? Because you have won. And if we could get a round of applause, a $1,500. Like you could all do it. Like you could all do it. Everyone in the office just looking at me. Look at the smile on Jared's face.

Take it, Jared. It's yours. Please take that out. No, you don't get it. Open it. You don't even get to play with it. Unwrap it. No.

I reckon you guys are all full of shit. What's in there? Let me hold that box. It is 100% a $1,500 Lego set. It's like Corfu cardboard. You keep telling yourself to have your sleep at night. Just before we go, team, would you like to step up to the mic and introduce yourself to Vaughn so he can remember for next time?

Hi, my name's Matt. I'm an intern. Matt is an intern. Thank you, Matt. Lovely. Good to see you again. Matt Chew is student. That's how I'm going to remember that from now on.

That's good. However you want to do it. I know I was close with this one. All right. This is who you described as looking like Caitlin. Larissa. Nope. Not anymore, you know.

I mean, I have a lot of friends called Caitlin. And integration. Integration. Integration, there we go. Okay, this is someone you described as never having seen this man before in my life. No, I think you said I've never seen that one before. That one, that one. That was right.

Well, you know, I don't want to assume anything in 2021. No, fair enough. That one is Isaac. Isaac. Intern. Intern. Isaac here. Zach.

Isaac. Isaac. Intern. That's the one.. Intern. Isaac here. Zach. Isaac. Isaac. Intern. That's the one. All right. Next up. Next up. Next up is for intern.

Hello. My name's Zoe. Zoe. And I'm an intern. That's nice to meet you. Thank you, Zoe. Zoe. And finally.

Because you're getting very, very Zoe that you didn't know your name. I'm Zoe. I don't know your name. And now, finally, the one you described as that Croatian one. I didn't say that. I know it's Croatian. Yeah, it's Lisa. Lisa!

What happened to your accent? From Wellington, mate. I can't do much about that. You have an accent from Wellington. Well, that was horribly confronting. Happy birthday, Vaughan. That was a fun game for the rest of us. And it was a really fun game for Jared.

Well done, Jared. I hope everybody thinks I'm not a bad guy. They'd just like you to come to a work function more than once every five years. I'll be so embarrassed.
