This weekend, Megan, must be Christmas putting up tree weekend? It'll either be this weekend or next weekend. Although it's a long weekend, maybe I will commit Monday To The tree Because I like to take my time with it And make sure everything's placed Equally Shouldn't Don't you have to wait until

Um Like November Why A curse I think there's a curse Is that what it says in the rule book No we're all about Usually we do Halloween first

But that's just cancelled So We're all about breaking curses Here on the show Today This is the start of the podcast But stand by if you're a fan of just seeing curses get torn to bits And thrown in the ocean

Thanks Rachel, good morning Welcome to the show Fleets Vaughan and Megan Two minutes past six On the eve of the long weekend Which means Yes The long weekend. Which means Yes. The long weekend group two. Yeah. Eight o'clock.

How are you feeling about it? I look, I've had a chat to some long weekend group two modelers. It's been hard to get modelers work. They all seem to be working on pandemic models. Yeah. At the moment. But I've had some long weekend group to modelers look at it. They didn't seem too deterred by the fact that a large portion of our listening audience

will find themselves in some sort of COVID restrictions. Yeah. Well, I mean, you'd think the largest city is in level three. That takes a lot of cars off the road. But then you look at all the cars on the road and there are a lot of cars on the road. You're just like, where are you all going? To the supermarket. Click and collect. Yeah, when I'm driving to work

the old 5am click and collect. So wherever you are in the country, today at 8 o'clock we start the long weekend group tooting for those new to the show. You toot in your car, we'll run through it at 8 o'clock. Yeah.

And somebody else listening finishes off with two toots. Yeah. God, the nation comes together. It's a real treat. Oh, they really do. But when it fails, and it has from time to time, Vaughn does. It's been known to fail. He's not a happy man.

Nah. Not a great day. But maybe just manage expectations today. Always. Yeah. Always. Always try to manage my expectations. We've got before seven on the show, your chance to win $500 cash, all thanks to Warehouse Mobile, a super easy game called What's Lower?

We'll give you three landmarks, and you've got to tell us which is lower to the ground. Mm-hmm. Height-wise. Easy. Super easy, your chance to win cash. Also, Secret Sound is back with Neon. $20,000 currently at the jackpot. Seven and eight this morning.

Your next guess is the top six on the way. Yeah, we've signed a historic trade deal with The Ook. They will be taking all of our wine tariff free. Yeah, that's great for wine sellers, isn't it? Great for exporters. This is great for exporters. Sheep, lamb, beef, and... That's your two main red meats.

What was the other one? Oh, maybe the dairy, a little way off. Yeah. Absolutely in the pipeline, but it's a good start there. Yeah. It probably means we're just going to be left with the dregs of wine, but hey, like we're fussy, we'll drink it. We'll give it a hoon.

We do get the dregs, eh? Or it's really sad when you know that a bottle of wine here costs $35 and then you go overseas and you see it for the equivalent of like $7 and you're like, oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Have some of that.

So I've got the top six hidden features. Oh, okay. The top six hidden features of the UK trade deal. All right, it's coming up next on the show, though. The pandemic has dulled our love for something. For what? For something. No, that's not what I said.

It sounded like you said C-O-C-K. I didn't. It was more of a ooh. Wow. Wow. Okay, you wash your mouth out and we'll come back next. No, I didn't. ZDM's Flet Splashbone and Megan.

One in three people think that the pandemic has dulled their love for cooking. Ah, you've completed the word there. Which is good. Yeah, right. Cooking. They feel like the pandemic has exhausted their love for cooking because they're doing it all the time. You're right.

Yeah, I get that. So many dishes. Because that's the old saying, if you don't want to work another day in your life, do something you love and you'll end up hating it and never wanting to do it again. That's the last half of the sentence.

As soon as you're forced to do anything at any given point, even if you did love it to start with, it's just, yeah. So 26% of people are frustrated when deciding what to make. I would have thought it would be more than that. Well, it's hard enough normally when there's not a pandemic and a lockdown.

But this is every meal. Yeah. And even like lunchtime. But we can get takeaways now, those in level three. Yeah. But not like every takeaway. And you can't really go sit down. And that's kind of the fun thing.

You might still be eating at home. So half of people feel cooking fatigue from being stuck in a rut with the same recipes as well. But then there's heaps of recipes out there. Oh, there's so many recipes. The internet is full of them. CBF at this point. I know that. But you know that all the recipes are out there.

But you're just like, it. Like, you look up something. It's too hard. You're like, okay, I'll just up a bit. You look up something and you're like, oh, it's too many ingredients. I know, and then you end up spending more than you would if you just went and got takeaways. Yeah. So you're just like, what's the point?

Or you see the method and it's going to take ages. Or it's got tarragon in it. What's wrong with tarragon? No, I love tarragon, but, like, you don't have it in the drawer all the time. It's not one of your top ten. No. You know, spice drawer occupants. Yeah.

Yeah, I've got boxes of spices that, like, I looked at some the other day, and they'd expired in, like, 2019, and I was like, that's nothing. They'll still be fine. They do expire. They would be fine. Just not as fragrant. The powdery ones, if they've been, like been sealed, they'll be fine. But if moisture's gone in and they've gone lumpy...

You know how you rip the top of the box open? I just normally stick my finger in and push it down and just leave it. So there's some air getting in. I don't know. But I've literally, these boxes, I have used one teaspoon of something in a recipe five years ago. And it just sits there.

Well, I didn't know they went off. No. Look, I honestly don't believe they go off. Well, the date on it says they do. Or do what? Isn't that a... Don't you have to have that if you sell something in a supermarket?

Yeah. It's like, yeah, it goes off. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Well, I'll have to... Just chuck a whole bunch in with some chicken and see what happens. I'll have to give that powdered basil a little lick of the finger

and see if it's... Basil? Powdered basil? What is it? Like, no, is that... Dried basil. No, that's like dried. How are you not using your basil?

That would be a staple, wouldn't it? Fresh, though. You always get fresh. Always get fresh. Bougie. And like a nice Thai soup. Oh, yeah. Yes.

A lot of fresh basil. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six hidden features of the UK trade deal. Next on the show, though, there's a debate that's flared up online on arriving to work on time. A debate about that? Isn't that what you... So, yes. So, not like a job, like an office office job but say like a retail job or a job

they expect you to be there before opening oh okay and how people feel about that we'll delve into this next play zm's flesh phone and megan well the reddit sub uh the reddit sub subreddit am i an a-hole has delivered again because a man in the UK, he works as a security guard, and he has posted his situation. He arrived at work at exactly 10 a.m. to start his job at 10 a.m. Right. He put a couple of his personal belongings in the back room in his locker and started his shift. And that is when his boss hit him up saying that he needs to arrive a couple

of minutes before work to then, you know, put his belongings away and then be ready at 10. But then is he being paid for those couple of minutes? Well, no, he's saying he's not being paid. Right. Because, yeah, I read something and it was like, oh, you have to be here half an hour before your shift starts. It's like, well, I'm not being paid to be here half an hour before my shift starts.

Well, yeah, no. If you're not getting paid, there's no way I'd turn up half an hour before. No. I mean, it's different. Like this job where it's like, you know, you're not on an hourly, your salary. And they just like do these hours and do the show. Yeah. And Vaughn turns up whenever he wants. Well, technically

I just charge more per hour. Right, okay. But whereas if you were being paid by the hour, you would be here on the hour. Probably not. I just say I was and then ask them to prove it otherwise. But everybody's quite like on

the, it's quite 50-50 because some are like, well, look, it's just a couple of minutes. Arrive a little bit earlier. Put your personal stuff away. That's like getting ready. And is this person, just to play devil's advocate, when they say they're going back and putting their stuff away and then the boss is hitting them up,

like are they faffing about out the back and putting their stuff away and then going to the toilet? And are they actually starting this shift at like quarter past? I mean, if the store opens at like, I don't know, he just says security at a store or at a work. Right. But if your security in the store opens at 10 and you're not there for three minutes,

that could be, you know, three minutes when someone could steal an iPhone. Yeah, you'd need security from the opening of the store, right? Yeah. So you can kind of just, you can kind of understand that. Just play devil's advocate, yeah. See, I'm kind of like that as well. I would just rather come a couple of minutes early, put my stuff away, because it's two minutes.

Yeah. It's not half an hour or 15 minutes. And I'm, like, an on-time person. I don't appreciate anyone being tardy. Yeah. I'm always on time. I'm on my time. What Megan's just saying is that she does not appreciate you

turning up late every day. No, I'm not used that she does not appreciate you turning up late every day. No, I'm not against it. Well, it's not late every day then because late would be showing inconsistence. But I'm consistently at that time. So let's just say that's my starting time. Yeah, he's moved in starting time. Yeah, I've just moved. Right.

I've kind of just accepted that. You know how in golf there's a men's tee and then a little bit further up there's a woman's tee. Yeah, your one's right by the hole. It's called the Vaughn's tea. I'm a little bit further up again. It's just so you can putt it in. Yeah, I'm a mini putt course. At the social media, there's Carween. You had this scenario when you worked in

retail. Yeah, so I worked at a jewellery store and when I started, I was like, cool 8 o'clock start time. And my manager very quickly told me that we needed to be there 15 minutes before 8. Right. Why?

So that we could get ready to then get ready for the store to open. Because don't you have to put all the jewellery on display? Because they take it away because you could be ram rated. Yeah, so that takes quite a lot of time. The jewellery store's not opening at 8 though, is it? No. I'm pretty sure it opened at like 9. So you're already there before the store

opens? Yeah, so they wanted us there early, so we were all there ready to start putting all the jewellery out and everything. Would it take an hour to do that? Yeah, it's quite a long process. That's a hard no from me. And then also like vacuum and dust and make everything look pretty. But you were already there an hour before. You don't need to

be an hour and fifteen before. How often in a jewellery store, I've wondered before when I've looked at the glass display thing, do you have to Mr. Muscle the glass? Oh, the window cleaning the hell out of that. Because you know people are always like, that one. And tap big greasy finger marks on the glass. Are you always like, don't touch it.

Yeah, so every time there's like a free period, like no one's in the store or you've got nothing to do, you go clean the glass. Right. Inside and out. What glass cleaner is it? It's very streak free. That was my next question.

Hey, I don't know the specific brand. It would have been your microfiber cloth. Maybe it's all down to the cloth. It would have been blue though, wouldn't it? Yeah, I think so. Why is window cleaner always blue? Why can't it be clear? I'm... Spraying wipes clear and I don't drink that. Maybe it's because there's some universal agreement that blue means glass cleaner.

But who came up with that agreement? The universal standards people. Dude, there's a board. There is... No, I'm not even bullshitting you. There's this board like universal standards where things like this agree. People will agree. Of course he knows.

Universally, purple means poison for like methylated spirits. The reason most glass cleaners on the market are blue is that during the 1960s, Windex's original recipe used a translucent blue dye to help it stand out from the pack. Today, many glass cleaner manufacturers still use light blue dye to attract their customers and more easily gain their trust.

What? Wow. So imagine if you bought a bottle of white window cleaner, you'd find that weird, wouldn't you? Yeah, I've just never really thought about it. Fact of the day. Yeah, early fact of the day. And it's basically for aesthetic purposes.

It says here, there's a few. Huh. Isn't that bizarre? Huh. Wow, that bizarre? Huh. Wow, that is very interesting. What were you talking about? Did you, Carwain, just to get back to your arriving at work 15 minutes early, did they not pay you for that?

Did you bring up that issue? Yeah, they didn't pay you for the 15 minutes. That's bullshit. I just feel like, oh, I'm not coming then. I'll get some freebies then. I'll take some dangly earrings, some nine-carat gold earrings. Is that a thing, nine-carat gold? I think that's theft, yeah.

But they're not stealing your time. Yeah, they're stealing your time over how many years you worked there. All's fair in the wild, wild west. Jim West, Desperado, Ruff Rado. From the triangular ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello, we have struck what is described as a powerful and fast, in principle, free-traded deal with the United Kingdom. Charting a way for a fully liberalised trade with the UK. It's great news.

Great news for the country. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had to sit through a punish of a rugby analogy from Boris Johnson yesterday. They were both chucking back and forth some rather awkward rugby analogies. I was like, come on. Yeah. So this is, they've just done one with Australia apparently. So we're going to do one of this is This is what happens when they Brexit their entire neighbourhood.

Yeah. They have to look further afield for their goodies. Is ours better? I don't know. In Australia? I know British farmers aren't happy about it, but they speak in one of those thick accents. No one can understand them.

They're like... I've got tractor. Milk? Yeah, Milton Burr and they got grains and gotten things down the pub. Pub. Yeah. Well, if they'd just communicated better, maybe they'd

have some trade as well. They've got one of them lovely stone walls. Oh, they do have lovely stone walls. Yeah. God, they do, don't they? They watch As a guy that watches a lot of like Land Rover Restoration videos And like old mates doing funny things

With Land Rovers in the UK I have become quite fluent In that mumbly farmer So I've got the top six things you may not know about this trade agreement. It's good for our butter and stuff. But these are the top six hidden details of the United Kingdom New Zealand Free Trade Agreement. Okay. Number six.

We're sending them tons of Jaffas in a straight swap for Terry's Chocolate Orange. Oh, yum. That is solid chocolate. If you've never added Terry's Chocolate Orange, it's nuts. So smooth. It's literally the size of an orange, and it comes in segments.

You take it off segments at a time like you would an orange, and it's like this insanely dark, rich, orange-flavoured chocolate. Yeah. That's a good swap. Yeah, it's a great swap. Straight swap too. Number five on the list of the top six hidden details

of the UK-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement. They get our wines. They're getting our Sauvignon Blanc. They're getting our Pinot Noir. They're getting our Gewurztraminer. We get an exchange. Yep. Room temperature Fosters.

Oh. Yeah. I feel like we didn't get the best bargain on that one. But hey, we're making money. And we make it back on number four on the list of the top six hidden details of the UK New Zealand Free Trade Agreement. We're putting Wattie's labels on cans of oak baked beans and sending them those for the full English breakfast. They won't know.

It'll be good to them. Well, they haven't had Wattie's, so they won't know that it's the far superior product to oak. Number three on the list of the top six hidden details of the free trade agreement with the UK, we're sending them a CD of all of our best hold music. Oh, yeah. You know, when you ring your IRDs, your study links, any government department, you get

your Bic Rungers, your Dave Dobbins, your Anika Moores. Yeah. Or we're sending them a compilation disc and in exchange we're getting some of their hold music. Okay. Your Oasis's. Yep. Your Phil Collins's is. And your Snow Patrol's is. Great. I don't know.

Don't know if we won that one. No. Number two on the list of the top six hidden details of the UK-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement. We're sending them some of our freshest, most delicious kaimoana. And they're sending us what they fish up from their coastal fishing towns. So old tires, a boot, and a rusty tin can. And number one on the list of the hidden details of the UK and New Zealand free trading room, we're getting tariff-free British bulldozers.

Oh, are we? Which is great. I've always wanted a bulldozer. And in exchange, we can send our greatest engineering achievement to them, chatter-free. Tariff-free chatter rings. Yes. So we're just sending container loads of chatter rings under the engineering umbrella.

Can you wait till the youth hit the street with their chatter rings in the UK? Annoying sounds. That is today's top six. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. This kind of is even from a quick Google, looks like it's gone international, is that Hastings Pack and Save is selling avocados for nine cents each. Wow. Okay, that's ridiculously cheap.

Are they even making money on those? Limited to 10 avos per household. Oh, that's so much guacamole. Yum. I know. Avocado doesn't freeze well, though. It doesn't. Nah.

It defrosts mushy. Yeah. It's not the same. So you've got to use it. It defrosts mushy. Yeah. It's not the same. So you've got to use it. You've got to use it. You can't. Unless somebody listening has some mad technique for lemon. Maybe if you mushed it up, added some lemon and put it in one of those seal bags where

there's no air in there. Sucks the air out and then seals it in there. That might be a slightly better defrost, but it just goes like, um, yuck. Watery. Yeah, watery. be a slightly bit of defrost but it just goes like um yuck watery yeah watery so why are avocados so cheap because you the height of things you can be paying 4.55 easy easily for an average one so there's been a ton of avocado orchards pop up right the um. We look to be really getting in to be an international supplier

of avocados. A lot of dairy farm converts, but now there's of course a global disruption. Don't know if you guys have heard about it. Pandemic. But that's problematic for getting these around the world. Shipping disruptions. Chains. So now we're like swimming in Avos. Yeah.

And it's like one of the most bumper crops. Oh, okay. Conditions apparently have been a minter. Right. Absolute good crop, great volume, but global disruptions have meant that the avocados are staying, a lot more avocados are staying here in New Zealand, and that will see avocados at very affordable prices.

Oh, I'm not complaining. I mean, it's sad for the growers, but as a purchaser, I'm not complaining. Why nine cents, though? Like, I'd pay 50. They must have heaps. Like, literally, they'll be going off if they don't get rid of them. Yeah.

And they'll probably be rock hard right now, starting to look right tomorrow, and then by Sunday, they'll just be soft and rotten. Yeah. Classic avocado situation on our hands. When you get one of those two for $4 or two for whatever, you have the first one, and then the next one just starts going a bit mouldy.

You're like, I'll chuck that out. Of the article that I read, this is the part that blew my mind. Market research showed about 30% of New Zealanders do not buy avocados. Boomers. Does it say why? Yeah, because boomers think they've got fat in them. Or they've got fat in them. Yeah.

And they don't like them. Vegetable fat. My mum's an avocado. I never saw an avocado until, I don't know, when I was a first-generation avocado. I just didn't know that they were even a thing. Because it was all like, no fat, fat's a bad, fat's a bad. All through like the 80s and 90s. Even vegetable fat.

Straight from the veggie. Eat this margarine and this thing full of sugar. But by God, dodge those fats. Absolutely. are bad or through like the 80s and 90s. Even vegetable fat straight from the veggie. Eat this margarine and this thing full of sugar but by God dodge those fats. Absolutely. That's still quite high like 70% of New Zealanders

into Avos. I thought it would have been higher. I thought it would have been 85s and 90s. Hello. You're preaching to the choir here sister. What do we need to do

to convert these people into eating avocados? Well I think there needs to be as much advertising for people to try avocados as getting both jabs. Maybe you could give away some free avos with the jabs. Oh, that would really confuse some people. That small percentage

of Venn diagram that fits into both. Yeah. Actually, I bet people who won't get the vaccine and people who don't eat avocados has got quite a crossover because they sound like idiots, don't they? What's Lower with Warehouse Mobile and Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Nine minutes away from seven. India, good morning.

Good morning, guys. How are we? Good, good. Welcome along to Warehouse Mobile What's Lower. We're going to give you three landmarks, and you've got to tell us which one is lower. And if you go low, just like Warehouse Mobile, you're going to win $500 cash more.

Yep, here they are. The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Pisa. I've never been. No, but you know If you did go You'd get that finger Photo where you look

Like you're pushing it over Or holding it up I would totally do that If I went Mount Maunganui Oh okay Is our second landmark And our third is the iconic LMP bottle in Pairoa

Which one is lower? Oh okay Again this isn't elevation This is from the bottom to the top The height Which one is the lowest? Oh sorry I thought you meant like in the world. You thought I meant like longitude, latitude.

Which one's further down? Yeah, I did. That's a really good idea for a competition. Yeah, isn't it? We should get her on the payroll. These sorts of ideas. It's good to have these people around. Yeah.

I'm going to go with Mount Maunganui. Hold on. No, I think what you've confused there is I've not asked for the highest, I've asked for the lowest. Oh, the lowest. Then the L&P bottle is my lowest. Yeah, there we go. Congratulations.

India, five... God, you're almost off the payroll there. $500 is all yours and it's all thanks to Warehouse Mobile, New Zealand's low-cost mobile plans powered by the Two Degrees Network. You can join today. India, that $500 is yours. Have a great long weekend. Oh, awesome.

Thank you, guys. You too. Seven metres tall, in case anybody was wondering. What's that? The L&P bottle. Oh, okay, right. Seven metres. The long weekend group toot is coming up at 8 o'clock.

Next on the show, what it means if you have a really low-pitched voice. So none of us here. None of us. There's been a study done. It takes into account people's pitches of their voice. So when you hear someone's voice without any visuals, you kind of take into account their gender, how old they are. There's a lot of clues, whether they sound friendly, sad, energetic,

whether you think they have an attractive voice, and even down to, like, trust and dominance. And then you see them and you're like... Oh, that's not what I was going to say. Welcome to every radio announcer ever. So they have revealed that people with lower pitched voices, and this is consistent for men and women. Okay.

There's absolutely no difference between men and women. So at this stage also ruling us out with our high pitched voices. Nasally, we've been described as nasally at times, haven't we? Yeah. Reedy. Reedy. Reedy? Reedy. Reedy? Reedy.

What's reedy? Kind of like a human clarinet. Oh, yeah. I assume that's what a reedy sound is, like a saxophone. But sometimes we can... But sometimes we can put on a deep voice. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do.

Okay. Whoa, whoa, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do. Okay. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. So. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I was actually pretty good, to be fair.

I really felt it. Yeah. Bit of Baker Street. Yeah. Yeah, but it wasn't, it was high pitch though, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. Yeah, so this rules you out.

Reedy. Reedy. So, what they did was they took recordings of people's voices and then they got them to fill out a questionnaire, a personality questionnaire. Right. They have found that people with lower-pitched voices... Men or women. Men or women, doesn't matter,

were associated with dominance, extroversion and sociosexuality. Sociosexuality. What-cio-sexuality. What's socio-sexuality? We're therefore more likely to engage in casual sex. Oh, ouch. Glad I don't have a low voice today. If you've got a big baritone voice, you've got some questions coming your way. Yeah, immediately I was like, my husband does not have a low voice.

That's great news. Great news for him. Grateful loyalty. But it's also like, because when we get someone on the phone and they've got a really deep voice, hey. They sound like a speaker. When speakers rumble, you get a bit excited, don't you? We all get a bit excited.

We're like, oh, wait. Hello. Right, and that's the same for men and women. Yeah. Okay. So like if you're a woman with a miley voice, like you're... Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, hers is kind of raspy.

Raspy. But also really... Quite deep. Quite deep. Raspy. But I'd also describe hers a little reedy. Yeah, right. A little reedy.

To her face? That's a compliment. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Kia ora, this is Toby Manhai. I'm the host of Gone By Lunchtime, a podcast for the spin-off podcast network all about politics and politicians, with me, Annabel Leigh-Mather, and Ben Thomas,

careering wildly from the very serious to the very ridiculous. It's not for everyone. I don't think it would be Ellen's cup of tea, but you, I reckon, will love it. Gone by lunchtime. Grab one now wherever you get your podcasts. Play ZM.

ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. Season 10 of Secret Sound. It is all thanks to Neon Watch TV series and movies handpicked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon. And Taylor joins us. Good morning, Taylor. Good morning.

How are you? Good. Now, you are, I believe, playing along with your partner for Secret Sound. Yeah, we've been online and listened to the Secret Sound over and over again. Okay, so have you online, had a listen to the Secret Sound over and over again. Okay, so have you both decided on a sound or do you have a different sound each?

We've got a different sound each, but we both agree on both of them. Oh, you can only do one guess. You can only guess one. So which guess are you going with? I'll go with mine, I think. I'm going to kick myself if it isn't it. Yeah, and then you might be in trouble later too.

Yeah, probably. I'll be in trouble either way. All right, well, this is the secret sound. Soundkeeper Al's is standing by. Good morning, Owls. Morning. Don't grease her up. It's not going to help you at all.

Nope. $20,000 cash, Taylor. What is it? I think that it's a credit card being cut up by a guillotine. Oh. Okay. Right. Well, Taylor, and you're going with your guess. I. Right.

Taylor, and you're going with your guess. I'm curious. Can I know what your partner's guess was as well? He might not want to say because he doesn't want to give it away. He might not want to give it away because then the rest of the nation will pounce on it. I mean, he's in enough trouble. Apparently, it's kind of already been guessed, but it's not the specific part of this object. He's already in enough trouble for calling up and saying he was going to use her guess,

but using his guess. If he gives away her guess, and then someone at 8 o'clock uses her guess and wins, that's forever dog boxed. Her guess is actually his guess, but anyway. Oh, his guess. I'm sorry.

How dare you assume, Bourne? I assumed. Cancelled. I assumed. That's all right, Bourne. I forgive you. You're in even more trouble now. All right, so,

Soundkeeper Owls. Taylor, well, you're going to confirm that guess? Lock it in? Yep, lock it in. Right. Taylor. Yes.

There's not the secret sound. Ah! Oh, really? Someone's in trouble. You really dragged that out, didn't you? Someone's in trouble. Someone's in trouble. Good luck, Patti.

She really used his kiss. And you've got a deep voice, and we just talked before about how deep voice people are more likely to have. I heard you say that. Casual hookups. Today, Taylor, is not your day. All right, 8 o'clock is your next chance to play Secret Sound, all thanks to Neon.

Please forward Megan's top picks. Well, they sponsored The Secret Sound Season 10 and Neon, perfect for the long weekend. The weather, not looking great, so we're going to give you some of our picks

ahead of the long weekend. You can sign up now for your 14-day free trial at neontv.co.nz. Actually, Vaughn and I just behind the scenes were talking about White Lotus, one of my favourite shows of the year.

Dark comedy, not everybody's cup of tea. No. But Jennifer Coolidge, who was Stifler's mum, who was amazing in White Lotus, has been confirmed for season two. Season two,

White Lotus is going to be filmed in Europe with a whole different bunch of cast. Wow. Because I just saw she commented on somebody else that was in White Lotus. His Instagram post. Yeah.

And I read it in her voice. She's one of those people now that whenever you see her name and then a comment beside it, you read it in her voice. Such a treat. Who's this cute man?

She is so great. She's a treasure. I can hear it, but I don't think I can vocalise it. One of the Saturday Night Live cast at the moment does the most perfect Jennifer Gould impression. Oh, she's an absolute treasure. So I would 100% recommend that.

But also, Executive Intern Anya sent through the list of everything on Neon. And yesterday was in the group chat, was like, you've got to pick one to talk about tomorrow. And I panicked because I was busy and I said Nanny McPhee. No, you were being silly.

You were being silly and then you forgot to rectify your silliness. So now you're going to live with your mistake. Because I thought it was so wholesome that you wanted to tell everyone about Nanny McPhee. Watch Nanny McPhee. What's it about? A nanny. Vaughan's actually seen Nanny McPhee.

Yeah. I think heaps of people have seen Nanny McPhee. It's actually a very popular movie. You know, I absolutely love a police procedural. You know, I love... There's no police procedural in Nanny McPhee. No, I'm watching FBI on Neon at the moment. That's my show that I'm absolutely binging.

Why didn't you pick that then? Well, because I was being silly and I wanted to say Nanny McPhee. But no, if you love a police procedural, you know, like you love your CSIs. Or Nanny McPhee. Or you love your Nanny McPhee, who's actually an undercover FBI agent, then FBI on Neon, that's definitely a good pick. This is a movie that is released today on neon. Promising Young Woman.

Every week, I go to a club. I act like I'm too drunk to stand. And every week, a nice guy comes over to see if I'm okay. You okay? You are so pretty. I'm a nice guy. Are you? I thought we had a connection.

Okay. How old am I? What are my hobbies? What's my name? Sorry, maybe that one's too hard. I got goosebumps just listening back to that. It's so good. Am I right in saying that was in the movies just before the pandemic?

Yeah. Yeah, it was in a cinema to see it. I know. I feel like it was one of the ones that there was a premiere. It was in between when we were free, I believe. Okay, yeah. I love it. Carrie Mulligan is an amazing actress.

And this is on my list, so I'm glad this is on Neon. 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got Bo Burnham and Jennifer Coolidge in it. It is so good. What are you doing in there? I'm doing a Jennifer Coolidge impression. I can hear the voice in my head. It won't come out of my mouth.

There's murder. There is a twist at the end. I can't rate it enough. Okay, well, that's an option for the long weekend. And Vaughn, what's your pack? Scenes from a marriage. This is your Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. This was the miniseries.

This is a HBO miniseries on Neon. This is the miniseries when they were at the Venice Film Festival that they had their arms around. And then he turned and smooched her arm and then lovingly gazed into her eyes. And he was just like, she's just my friend. We just got to know each other quite well in the filming of this. They both do.

They've both got children and stuff. But yeah, this is out now. And it just looks awesome. Yeah, right. Okay. So that would be mine. Because I noticed this was weekly. And I was waiting until that's finished.

But it looks as though it has. Five eps. Also. Oh, no. You told me to save that one for next week, hey? I'm just going to do it now. Neon has got such a huge catalogue of great content, I'm going to do two. Okay.

Woodstock 99. Oh, you've told me about this. It looks into this absolute blowout that was the rebirthed Woodstock 1999. Is it kind of like five festival vibes? Kind of. The organisation wasn't the weak point of it, it was the scumbags that went and their absolute awful behaviour. Oh dear. It was like

when Nu Metal was out it was the end of the 90s it was just like this insane music festival trying to replicate the free love of Woodstock 67 and then they did it in 94. 94 insane music festival trying to replicate the free love of Woodstock. Yep. 67. And then they did it in 94.

94 went really well so they're like, let's try to get in 1999 and it went horribly wrong. And as a teenager in 1999, I would have been exactly the sort of person that would have gone. So now I can look back

and be like, full well knowing if I'd been there I probably would have been part of the problem. Like that's the time when there were riots in Whangamata, right? Like Van Warp's tour. Van Warp's tour.

There was a real weird end of the 90s, start of the 2000s. Everybody was so angry. All right. Well, you can watch TV series and movies handpicked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon. And another shot at The Secret Sound is coming up at 8 o'clock. And then we'll get into the long weekend group toot. I've got a Friday flashback that is absolutely going to get everybody fizzed, jazzed, prepped, and ready.

Okay. For the long weekend. I'm thinking of the last one. For the long weekend group toot. All right. It's coming up. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn, and Megan. Green dating.

It has really blown up since the pandemic but also in the UK on Bumble it ranks as one of the top values. So people have, 27% of people on Bumble have selected environmentalism as one of their top values and interests.

Right. So green dating has blown up because you know, environmentalism is big, but also a lot of outdoor dates are happening. Because of the pandemic. It's safer, yeah. So an appreciation for outdoors, park walks, alfresco dating, picnics in New Zealand. And a lot of people are planning over half to keep doing active

and green dating after we come out of COVID. So it's impacted how they want to do dates in the future. Instead of going to restaurants and stuff, you're going to be like, hey, do you want to go for a walk on this track? And I'd be like, no, thank you. Megan would be like, no, absolutely not. Absolutely not. I'm going to be sweaty and puffing while you're trying to talk to me and pretend that I'm not

puffing. I hate when you're going to walk with someone and you're trying to act like you're way fitter than you are and you're going up a little steep bit and they're trying to talk to you and you're like, yeah, I really enjoyed it. I'm not puffing. Yeah, it's not ideal, is it? That would be me on a date.

A little bit of sweat. But yeah, lots of people are tuning to the outdoors for their dates. And good to know that there's what, how many did you say, 27? 27% that have selected environmentalism. Right. And this week where they found that, was it 99.9% of all scientists agreed that humans have caused climate change? Wow. Was that a story this week?

Yeah. They got on board, didn't they? Yeah. Who's that point one, eh? Yeah, who's that one scientist? They're definitely taking some money from the oil companies, eh? Yeah. Yeah, they know it.

They just don't want to openly put it out there. They might have also just delivered a no comment rather than a no. Yeah. No, we're not doing that. Might have just been a flat no comment. All right, next on the show, we're going to relax. Yeah, speaking of green, Friday Face Yoga. How is it green?

Because people do yoga outside and they're greenies. Sure. outside and yeah that greenies and welcome everybody to Friday face yoga namaste to you all namaste namaste good morning good morning everybody welcome to Friday Face Yoga This is something you can do in the car Yeah Just with your face Yeah, just face This is a face specific Shoulders up

Yoga session For those driving But didn't get to squeeze in their morning yoga Now I want you all to do your best Inquisitive face For a lot of people that's an eyebrow up Listening I want everybody to have a That's a weird face you've got there.

What's that mean? Well, don't judge my face. That's your inquisitive face. That's my inquisitive face. You're the inquisitive. Don't laugh at my face. Your inquisitive facial expression is because you've just heard that the person who was positive with COVID-19 that was on the run in Northland said,

this morning there's a story on the Herald saying they did nothing wrong. So your inquisitive face is saying, go on. No, no. Go on. Go on. I'm interested to hear. Next up, I want you to look upwards. Imagine you're watching things flying through the sky over top of you.

Yeah. You're only going to have to imagine two because you were just watching lollies get tossed out in a Santa parade. And Santa parades, a few Santa parades have been cancelled this week. So now I want you to take your gaze skyward, downward, and start thinking of the excuse that you're going to have to tell your children that there's absolutely no Santa parade this year. Maybe Santa can go down just your, you know, urban cul-de-sac on a ride-on lawnmower.

Distanced. Distanced, of course. And just trying to think about how you'd throw lollies, but he's touched the lollies. Gloves? Yeah, but you don't want to be throwing those under the blades on the ride on lawnmower. You wouldn't engage blades?

Silly me. You'd have the cutting tray at the highest setting and blades not engaged. You're asking for trouble there. Next, I just want everybody to shrink down a little bit in their chair, hide behind an imaginary obstacle in front of them, and stay out of the line of sight of US conservative commentator Candace Owens, who this week said the US Army should invade Australia

to free its people from the tyrannical government, currently keeping them under house arrest or just COVID restrictions. Right. Because we've got way more restrictions from them, so let's just keep our heads down because I don't want her sending the US Army here. And finally, for Friday Face Yoga today, give us a bit of a

eee, eee, a bit of a eee, eee, eee, eee. Because the more I think about it, the more I think a bat shouldn't be in the Bird of the Year competition. Have you seen how cute that bat is though? It's real cute.

Just saying, we've got enough bats, we could run a bat of the year competition. Very true. And keep the bird of the year competition as the pure feathered bird-based competition that it is. I mean, bats can't even, those bats aren't even great flyers. They've got no feathers and they are actually mammals.

So it's just a wildly different species. Yep. And that's Friday First Yoga, so namaste. Namaste. Namaste. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. Yesterday afternoon, let me set the scene, playing a bit of Fortnite. Playing a bit of Fortnite with producer Jared.

The lads, the boys. Producer Jared, my daughter Indy, and one of my best friends of, let's count it, I'd say we've known each other for maybe like, known of each other for 28 years, but been very good friends for 26 years. Because you went to school together. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

My good friend Callum. So I'm sitting there and I'm playing Fortnite. We've been playing for a little while. And by the way, we also talk all the time. Because you've got the heads and the lads, Grant.

No, outside of the game, we've been playing a lot in like lockdown. He's part of the D&D crew. We've been playing D&D, Dungeons & Dragons. We're also in a lads chat on pretty much every chat service possible. Your WhatsApps, your face groups. We've got an iMessage.

We've got everything. You chat every day? At least. Okay. So while I'm sitting there, we're playing Fortnite, and then Sade's behind me And she said Vaughn

That time You're in trouble Full name Not a cute nickname Vaughn And I'm like Yeah And she's like

What's this? Oh That could be anything And I She's behind me I could be about to be stabbed What's this? And I'm like, what?

And she's like, this. So now I know I've got to turn. She knows what it is, but she wants you to look. She wants me to explain what it is. Yeah. So imagine my terror. I'm slowly turning around and she's holding up her phone. I'm like, what the hell have I done?

Did you like a hot model on Instagram? Yes, but that wasn't that. I see that it's Facebook. Okay. And I'm like, what is going on? And I'm like, maybe I said something yesterday or did something that's going to embarrass her. But no, it's a picture of a cat. Yeah.

And I'm like, that's weird. I'm like, I don't know. Is it a cat? And she's like, look closer. Like, look closer. Look. And I'm like, that's weird. I'm like, I don't know. Is it a cat? And she's like, look closer. Like, look closer. Look. And I'm like, ah. And I look closer and the cat's got little booties in front of it.

Yeah. And it says, we're expecting a little human. And I'm like, oh, okay. Who posted that? I look. It's Callum's partner. To which I'm like, now I'm speaking in Sade's tone. I'm like, Callum, is there something you want to tell me?

Is this on Fortnite? Mid-game. And he's like, what? I'm like, I don't know, man. Anything? He's like, um, uh, don't think so. Oh, my God. Nothing springs to mind.

He's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I don't know, man. The biggest news of your life, perhaps? And he's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, I don't know, man. Well, the biggest news of your life, perhaps. And he's like, oh, yeah, crazy, huh? Producer Jarrah's got no idea what is going on. Right. He's like, but he's quiet because he's like, what the heck? He's just hearing all the tones.

Are there any randoms in your room? No, no, no, it's just us. Just the four of us. He's hearing all the tones. Producer Jarrah's just in your room? No, no, no. It's just us. Just the four of us. He's hearing all the tones. Producer Jared's just said, shut up. Come at me with a tone. Now I've adopted her tone. I'm going at one of my best mates in the tone.

And that's when I'm, and he's like, yeah, crazy. I'm like, yeah. And then it's quiet and Producer Jared's just not saying a thing. I'm like, Cal, I'm having a baby. And Producer Jared's like, ah, this is awesome news. And you found out on Facebook from your wife who found out from his partner's Facebook post. That is wild. That is absolutely wild.

That's just like. I know. He's like, I didn't know when to tell you. I was like, I don't know, man. Anytime in the last whatever. You can start that with a, hey, guess what? Yeah. Guess what, guys?

Oh, what? He could lead us down a garden path. And like you're saying, you've got a WhatsApp group. You could easily do that. There's another chapter. Right. The epilogue to the story, if you will. He's like, it's crazy who you tell, eh?

Like, the neighbours know. Oh, Helen. What? How did the old bird next door know? Before us. But old Smithy doesn't know. Old Smithy's completely in the dark.

I know it's not about me, and I know this is fantastic news and I'm stoked for them and they're like, it's going to be cool. Yeah. But I was just like, I found out from Facebook being shoved in my face by my wife sat behind me. Anyone else on the lads group chat? Nah. Okay.

So you weren't just. So then I say in the lads group, bloody slippery fizz. And then that's all I do. I leave that there and just stand back and let him explain himself. And was everyone else just like, what? Yeah, I guess a little bit. Wow. But I was wondering today if we could

take calls on what you found out on Facebook that you thought you might have found out in a different manner. Like, when you find out someone in the family is dead because someone on a Facebook post? Like, something like that? There's moments in your life where you have a group of people where you're like,

I have to tell in person that Nana's dying. Or like when you're pregnant, there's a group of people you have to tell the inner circle in person so they don't find out on Facebook. But it just didn't cross his mind. It'll always be memorable. It's true.

Because that tone. Yeah. That tone still haunts me. So, okay, well, let's take some calls. 0800 dials at M. You can text as well, 9696.

What big news, what big thing did you find out on Facebook? Or are we taking Instagram as well? Social media? Yeah, social media posts.

Yeah, social media posts. What big thing did you find out on social media that you should have been told in person by at least someone in the family or in the friend group? Talking about the big news that you found out on social media that you should have been told in person by at least someone in the family or in the

friend group. Talking about the big news that you found out on Facebook that you should have found out from a friend, from a family member, in person. Yep, happened to me yesterday. And now apparently you've also spread that news to someone else. Somebody else said, yeah, I know I'm

turning this, having a baby. I'm like, yeah, but you're not his best friend! Maybe this is how you find out that you're a bit judgy. What? I'm not judgy. My kids are, though, because when they found out. Shots fired. My kids are, though. I was like, oh.

Indy was like, they're not even married. I was like, all right, bloody nun. So we want to know what you found out on Facebook. Or any social media that you think you probably should have been told in person. Aaron messaged. I found out on Facebook that my brother was getting divorced. Probably something I should have been told in person before they went fully public with it. It's hard to tell people you're getting divorced, isn't it?

That's the thing about putting it on social, right? One sweep. It's done. One does it're getting divorced, isn't it? That's the thing about putting it on social, right? One sweep. Yeah, it's done. One does it all. Found out that our son was getting engaged. Yes, we even live in the same city.

What did you find out on social media that you probably thought you might have found out in person first? There are some wild stories coming through. So many deaths. I'd say of, if you were to categorise the messages we've had on deaths.

That's worse than marriage and babies and stuff because they're not around anymore. But then is it also because it's harder? Like if you have to be the one to tell like 20 people that someone's died, you're going to have to take on everybody else's shock and grief and sure if that person isn't close to you yeah these death stories are close my mum found out her sister passed away on facebook via me who saw my cousin post about it on facebook wow okay that was the first my mum found out about it. Our whole family found out that my uncle died a month after searching the death notices

to find the funeral time for somebody else. Wow. Yeah. Message dad, I was like, sorry, what? And he's like, huh? Oh my God. Our whole family was like, what's going on? I found out my brother was in hospital with a very serious brain injury on Facebook.

Why was I not called and told? That is wild. I found out my first granddaughter was born six days later on Facebook. Yeah, that's not good either. Yeah. I didn't even know that they were having this baby. And then I found out on Facebook. The next two grandkids also on Facebook.

And yes, we do all talk to each other, but just nobody told me these things. Taylor, what news did you find out on Facebook? Okay, I just wanted to say, I'm called a long-time listener. Hey! So what did you find out on Facebook, Taylor? So I was scrolling through Facebook and then I see that my mum had changed her profile picture and her last name.

She'd gotten married. What? You're kidding me. And I had to message my brother and be like, what's going on here? What's the news? And did he know about it? Yeah, everyone knew about me. Oh, Taylor.

Are you not close with mum? I'm not too close, but probably close enough that she'll tell me. Did everyone else get invited or was it just a quick kind of shotgun wedding at the... Yeah, it was just a quick kind of... Oh, yeah, but how quick? Like, send me a text and I can come over kind of quick. Yeah, I know. They still got photos up on a hill, so...

So not that quick. No, not that quick. The time it took them to get up and down, you could have got there. Exactly. Amazing. Taylor, thanks. You called Josh. What was the news that you found out on Facebook?

Hey, how are you? We found out our flatmate was having a baby when we saw photos of him on Facebook at the hospital holding his baby. What? Whoa. And he didn't think to tell you? Was he bringing the baby home to the flat?

Yeah, I don't know what the... I still haven't met his baby to this day, but it was hilarious. We were all sitting around, the four of us, and then one of the flatmates came up and said, have you seen what he's holding? And we were like, what? No, it can't be his.

And then it turns out it was his baby, and we had no idea about it. How do you know that for nine months? Has he been back to the flat since? Well, the flat's disbanded, but we're still mates. But yeah, we just, we had, none of us had, we were all quite close and childhood friends and just didn't know anything about it. Wow.

Did he know about it or was that a surprise? Yeah, he knew, know anything about it. Wow. Did he know about it, or was that a surprise? Yeah, he knew about it, but I guess he was kind of one of those people that was a little bit quiet, but yeah, that was next level. We were as shocked as him, I think, when he found out that he was pregnant. That is so great. I love that. Josh, thanks for your call. All right, next on the show, the Long Weekend Group Tour.

It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. That's how it works. That's how it goes. We'll explain how it works in The Long Weekend Group Tour. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Play ZM. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound.

Season 10. It's all thanks to Neon. Get a Kiwi streaming service. Get great value. Get it on Neon. Sophie joins us. Good morning, Sophie. Hello, how are you?

Good. Well, $20,000 is the latest jackpot amount, the latest prize amount up for grabs. We do have a clue coming this afternoon at 5 o'clock, as we do every Friday. And for $20,000, what do you think it is? I think it's, you know, like the Frank Green coffee cups and the push lid when you push that down to drink your coffee.

Yeah, keep cups. Is that what those are called, Frank Green cups? Yeah. Keeper cups. Yeah, it's quite a clicky little push-down button. Yeah. Okay. And more of a rubbery.

That would be more of a, oh, maybe. Have you done that yourself and it sounds like it? Yeah, I've got one and it's like a plastic button. Okay. There's no rubber in it, but yeah. Right. So up close that could sound like that. Well, Soundkeeper Owls, she's the one that knows.

Hi. Hi, Sophie. So you're locking in Frank Greencutt, pushing the button, right? Yeah. Okay. And how confident are you? Who knows? Anything I can think of.

My partner and I have been playing. Oh, okay. And now that we've heard it, it's all we can hear, but,'t know. Anything I can think of. My partner and I have been playing. Oh, okay. And now that we've heard it, it's all we can hear. But, you know, it could be anything. All right. I'll let you know, Sophie. Thanks. Sophie?

Yeah? That is not the secret. Absolute tease. All right, Sophie, back to the drawing board. 11 o'clock this morning is your next chance to have a guess and win that cash. Friday Flashback. But it is a Friday tradition. We each take a turn to pick a song that's at least 10 years old.

Vaughn, it's your turn this week. Yes, I'd like to transport us back to the 18th of August 1989. That was when this song was released, although I didn't do most of its charting until 1990 from a Belgian

act described as a fusion of hip-hop and deep house elements. What on earth have you chosen? It was also named as the first house song to become a hit in the United States of America. Is it like the daddy of house music? The mummy and daddy. The mummy and daddy.

Of house music. Members of the band included Congolese model Feli Kalingi. Okay. Vocalist Yakid K. This has so many accolades, ladies and gentlemen. It is on so many lists of essential dance music and the birth of dance music. Slant Magazine in 2020 put it at number 40

in the 100 best dance songs of all time. BuzzFeed had it at 21 of the 101 greatest dance songs of the 90s. And Les Inrecours de Bers, a French publication, listed it as one of their 1,000 Monsieur Indispensables. From Technotronic. Today's Friday flashback. All right. It's pump up the jam. Back with the long weekend.

Long weekend group two next. See them. Pump it up a little more Get the party going on the dance floor See, cause that's where the party's at And you'll find out if you do that I want a place to stay Get your booty on the floor tonight Make my day I want a place to stay Get your booty on the floor tonight

At 3am That's on you And that ladies and gentlemen Is the effects of drugs And alcohol Yas Bloody love this song. Someone said, oh, this hasn't aged well. It's a bad year, 89.

Nothing from 1989 aged well. Well, you know what? If the long weekend group toot doesn't work, maybe you can blame that. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. The long weekend group toot. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning. So horning. I'm horning, weekend for the whole country for the year. Yeah.

Labor weekend. Yeah. On Monday. It's going to be a national long weekend. Yep, it does. Now, the long weekend group tour, for those that are new to the show, we need you to call us if you're in traffic and give us the first half of the long weekend group toot, which is like the Milo tune.

And then somebody else with your window down in traffic next to you who is also listening finishes off with a... So ideally it should be... Now, this is also the first ever long weekend group tour we've done where different parts of New Zealand are in different levels of COVID restrictions. Yeah, that's true. We did a full lockdown long weekend group tour from the driveway. That was fun.

It was fun. We brought the nation together. But do you know what? With a lot of Waikato and Auckland, that is like half the population in level three. Yeah. There's still traffic though. There is still traffic. There is still traffic in Auckland.

There is. Essential workers. But I'm just saying that like your Wellingtons, your Christchurch, your Dunedins, your rest of the country, Tauranga, you're going to have to pick up the slack here. Yeah. I do like this. You're lowering our expectation so that we can exceed it. I'm real grumpy when this doesn't work.

I'm not going to get grumpy at the order day. All right, let's kick it off. Give us a call if you're in traffic. 0800 Dials at M. We're going to go to Wellington first. Hannah, good morning. Hi, good morning. Whereabouts in Wellington are you?

I'm literally just pulling up to Taranaki and State Highway 1 intersection. Oh, busy. All right, well, when you're ready, Hannah, give us the long weekend group toot. Pulling up to Taranaki and State Highway 1 intersection. Oh, busy. All right. Well, when you're ready, Hannah, give us the long weekend group toot. Okay. Sorry. Give me two seconds.

I'm just pulling in now. Okay. Window down. Yep. Okay. Just pulling up to a stop. Often sets the mood, the first long weekend group toot. I'll take an annual leave for this, guys. Oh, get out of town.

You spoil us. Is that in the long weekend. I'm taking annual leave for this, guys. Oh, get out of town. You spoil us. That and the long weekend. Yes! I'm back! I'm back! Are you kidding me? Hannah, did you seriously take annual leave to do this?

Hi. How are you? Good. Whereabouts in Whangarei are you? I'm just coming down Carmo Road onto Mill Road. Okay. And now the traffic is just dispersed and there's not much around. Give it a crack.

Okay, well, I'll tell you what. We'll pump you on hold and see if we can get you into some more traffic. Let's quickly pump to Wellington in the Vic Tunnel. Wilson, good morning. Good morning. Hello. Is this Christmas Penetration Wilson? Oh, Christmas Penetration Wilson.

Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. Thank you, Wilson, who keeps us updated with Christmas penetration. Yeah. Fantastic effort. All right, halftime. Grab a slice of orange and a Powerade.

According to my list, we had quite a few people to go back to. In Christchurch, yeah. So they don't count towards a failed tally, do they? And then we've got two from Wilson. However you want to rig the numbers, mate. Oh, I just cut a little bit of Adele off there. How dare you? How dare you? Morning, I'm warning, mate. The long weekend group two. Oh, I just cut a little bit of Adele off there. How dare you? How dare you?

Morning, morning, morning, morning in the morning. Half time. Half time. Yeah. We're running five from eight. I've discounted the people we never went back to

from the tally total. They're DNFs. They did not. DNTs. Did not toot. Okay. Wilson's worth two. That's the new rule. If you're tooting the vic tunnel, it toot. Okay. Wilson's worth two. That's the new rule.

If you're tooting the back tunnel, it's worth two points. It's worth two. Now, we are streaming as well live on our Facebook page, FEMZM. Let's kick off round two and maybe some redemption in Christchurch. Good morning, Laura. Hi. We're just turning on some more house ads, so we're in a lot of traffic now. Okay, good.

We haven't had a good success rate. Whereabouts are you guys? Guys, we've just pulled up to my kid's school at Woodend School, but we're a bit early and there's hardly anyone here. Okay, so what are we thinking? What are we thinking? We don't do this? I'm trying to wave cars down.

No, let's give it a go. Okay, go for it. Go, Dad. Hang on. What are you driving? A coal-powered steam ferry? Sounded like the urn slore tooting Queensland in The Now It's Departing. That was the most bassiest horn we've ever had. You like that? So good.

Good work, though, eh, fellas? No, good tooting, though. work though, eh fellas? No, good tooting though, but hey guys. Great work, Dad. Thank you for playing another letdown in Christchurch.

Megan, I need your paper. I'm out of paper. We're running at a 50% now. Christy, good morning. Good morning. Whereabouts in Christchurch

are you? I'm on St. Aspen Street. Okay. It's been a great day for Christchurch. No. Give us the long weekend group too, Christy. All right, but we're going to pop to a red light, so this is going to be good.

Okay. Nothing. Here's what I reckon. Here's what I reckon. What? Christchurch City Council have let go of the wizard. Haven't they? They say, we're not paying you anymore. And he's cursed. He's put I reckon. What? Christchurch City Council have let go of the wizard. Haven't they? They said, we're not paying you anymore.

And he's cursed the city. He's put a spell on us. That Gargamel-looking son of a bitch has put a big curse on us. I'm just stuck on Christchurch now, though. We have to break the curse. I know, we've got to break the curse. Well, if you're in Christchurch, call for the Long Weekend Group 2. Charlotte and Stephen Upperhut, good morning.

Hi. good morning. Hi. Good morning. Now, no pressure, guys, but we have had a successful Vic Tunnel Toot, so... We've had a couple of successes in Wellington today. Hannah, of course, kicked it off. When you're ready, guys, and Upperhut, give us the Long Weekend Group Toot.

OK. OK. No! Good tooting, good tooting. Go again, go again. No. Good tooting. Good tooting. Go again. Go again. Go again.

Has your council just laid off a wizard? I don't know if the wizard's curse goes that far. We don't know about the wizard's curse. Name fantastic long weekend group.

Turned out, unfortunately, that's a no. We're at 150% now. Paige in Taranaki, whereabouts? I'm in a little town called Harwood. Oh, okay. So not the most traffic there. People get donked in Harwooder for doing a toot, don't they? Tooted me.

Donk. Okay. All right, when you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. And remember, you don't need teeth to toot. Okay, give me a second. Excuse me, boy. That is my home province. They don't have teeth.

Teeth. No, that's totally. Am I home province. They don't have teeth. Teeth. No, that's totally. Am I right? That's right, eh, Paige? Yeah. Teeth aren't compulsory there. Okay. Ready?

Yes. Yeah. Okay. No. Oh, Paige. Wait. What? Yeah, we said a little bit.

I just heard a little diddy right as we said no go again page wait give me a second i'm just coming up to an intersection in harwood that'll be busy vaughn can you please stop reading on the hometown might come across the other car in harvard okay? Go for it. And I'm like... No. Paige, fantastic tuning. That's a no from the Naki. Our second half is terrible. Now, before we finish up, it's just a row of Christchurch callers

wishing to break the wizard's curse. But there's no point because we're not breaking the curse. We can break the wizard's curse. What was that attitude? We're not. He's been laid off. He's cursing everyone. Blake, what's going to be the secret to breaking the wizard's curse. What was that attitude? We're not. He's been laid off. He's cursing everyone. Blake, what's going to be the secret

to breaking the wizard's curse in Christchurch? No, this is Katie. Hello? Oh, Katie. Why did Blake go orange when you pressed the button? Because that's the next lined up caller. We've had an update to the system, Vaughan. Have you not noticed that in the last five weeks?

What's everybody doing traffic light system for in 2021? It is confusing. Red is go and green is don't. Katie, whereabouts in Christchurch? We're just on Broad Street heading up to St. Asses, I think it is. Is this the right part of Christchurch?

Are you going to break the wizard's curse? Yes, we definitely are. When you're ready, Blake. No. Sorry, Katie. Okay. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Yay!

Take that, wizard. Take that, wizard. The wizard has been defeated. Take that, wizard. Yes. Katie, if nothing else for this year, remember this day, October 22nd, the day you beat Magic. The day you broke a curse.

You just broke the last Horcrux, right? I don't even want to go back to other Christchurch callers. I think we should leave it there. We're breaking the curse now. We've said Blake's name about 12 times and he didn't even get to two. Would you like to leave Blake two to finish up? Okay, the very last two. Is it?

Is it? Is it? Let's go to, oh, I think I've just hung up on Blake. You just hung up on Blake. You've reinstated the wizard's curse. Why would you do that for me? Go to Leah or Abby. You've got Tanya, you've got Gabby, you've got Abby.

I've got Leah. No, we've got Blake. Blake's back. Sorry about that. You just hung up on, you've got Gabby, you've got Abby. I've got Leah. No, we've got Blake. You just hung up on the other one. He hung up on Leah. Blake, sorry about that. That was the wizard's curse. It's his first time. Yeah, it's been a tough day already.

It has. All right, well, Blake, when you're ready, give us the long weekend group too. All right. Yep, cheers. Okay, so what? Is the wizard curse back? Yeah.

It's back. It's because you hung up on Leah. Blake's the wizard. Are you the wizard? You've got to answer honestly. Wizards always have to answer honestly. No, I suck at magic. Blake, maybe could you just go slower on the toad?

Let's see if we can go again. The horn didn't sound loud. I'm just going to stop right next to this car that's turning. Okay. Nah. Well, that wasn't the correct toad either, but that's not the wizard's curse. No, you just started really abrupt. Why did we do this?

We should have left on a high. Now we've got to re-break the broken wizard's curse. Go to Abby. I reckon Abby's got a good feeling. Abby, give us the long-weaking group too. Wait. We've got to break the wizard's curse. Are you ready to break the wizard's curse? Yeah. Okay, ready?

Yeah, let's go. Yes! We re-broke the reinstated Broken Wizards curse. What a horn. That's a great horn. Good horn. Yes, yes, yes. Abby, that is great.

We're going to leave the long weekend group to you. No, we've got two more from Christchurch. We've been waiting. We should go to Abby to Gabby. That rhymes, of course. That's going to be the... No, because if the wizard curse stands... Well, then we've got Tanya to rebreak the broken,

unbroken, rebrokenbroken, set it in. But then we would have to wait until February to unbreak the wizard's curse. I feel like Abby's broken the wizard's curse. We're on a hot streak of one. Thanks, Abby. Gabriel, good morning. Hey, good morning.

How you doing? Can we call you Gabby? Uh, sure. Go for it. Oh, no, you don't like that. She doesn't like that. Oh, I'm not going to force that on you. All right, all good?

Here's how it stands. Here's how it stands. The wizard put a curse on the long-weekend group taken Christchurch. It got broken. It got reinstated. It got broken again. And now it's your job to slam it home

and put a fork in it. It's done. No more wizard's curse. Are you ready to do that? Far out. That's what we're saying. That's what we're saying. All right, go for it.

When you're ready. All right. No! It's reinstated. Hang on, wait. One more go. Yeah, one more go. One more go.

One more go. Yeah! Hang on, one more go. Yeah, one more go, one more go, one more go. Yes! It was faint, but it was perfect. It was there. Tanya, fantastic. No, that was Gabriel. Go to Tanya. You've said her name.

You've cursed us again. You said her name. You can't say her name without going to her. That's why we're going for it, Gabriel. Why does it light up orange? This is our 20th, and if we get this, we're sitting at 50% where we would have had 10 successful long weekend group

twos. Okay, well this is the very last call. We must finish after this. Good morning, Tanya. Good morning. Do you think you can do what it takes? Somebody just messaged in. It's official. Curses aren't broken until you get three in a row. Now you will be our third. Oh, I'm feeling the pressure now.

Yeah, I bet you are. Okay, well, when you're ready, Tanya, give us a long weekend group tour. Wait, wait, wait. Don't rush her. Don't rush her. Where in Christchurch are you? I'm on Cranford Street. Okay, is it busy?

Are there people around you? It's back to back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, good. Let's break this wizard's curse on Cranford Street. Alrighty. Yeah, let's go. Yes!

The wizard's curse is broken! And so is my microphone. I apologise. I'm a little excited there. The wizard's curse is broken. It takes us to a nice round 10 out of 20. We are sitting at 50% for Long Weekend Grootune, and we're happy with the results. Enjoy the Long Weekend, New Zealand.

What an absolute treat that was. The wizard's curse is broken. It's all on you, Tanya. Well done, Tanya Bloody Potter. Tanya Bloody Potter and the breaker of the curse. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is there are two ATM machines in Antarctica

and they're right next to each other. Okay. Well, I was going to say, what would you need money for? But they've probably got a canteen, eh? With like choccy bars. So there's that lotto ad where they're in there. See the lotto ad and they the guy's got the lotto ticket, but he can't

check it until the end of their shift over winter down there. And they all buy into it with a couple of chocolate biscuits. Do they have a lotto kios chaos at Scott Bates? No, I think he buys it on the way down. Oh, right. Yeah.

So, and then at the end of the ad, they're doing the checking and you don't find out if they win or not. Because the app's crashed. No, no, no, old school. He's like reading out the numbers and he's circling them on the ticket. Yeah. Going old school on it. So, yeah, there's two of them.

And the reason I found this out is I found a list of the most extreme ATM locations. Oh, okay. Places where there are, so the Wells Fargo machines inside the McMurdo station in the South Pole. Because you know the McMurdo station, we've got Scott Bass with the

big American one. Yeah. A thousand plus residents. Oh, wow. And American one, 1,000 plus residents. Oh, wow. And they can spend their cash at the store. Huh. So there is also a single ATM in the Australian Outback, which is 1,150 kilometres from Perth. There's no mobile.

Well, at this time of this article, there was no mobile phone coverage. Yeah, right. So it actually worked via satellite. Wow, okay. That ATM machine. And then there's other ones in the upper Hunza Valley of Pakistan, northern Lapland where Santa lives. Yep.

And China's Forbidden City also has ATMs. Wow, okay. But today's Fact of the Day is there are two ATMs in Antarctica and they're right next to each other. Fact of the Day, day, day, this very day It's one of my best friend's 40th birthdays It's just come up in my Facebook notification Yeah, me too Yeah, Auburn Ford, 40 years old

Megan's got a crush on him, doesn't she? She thinks he's cute I said on one picture that he was attractive We've said it on a few pictures You've said it quite a few times You get drunk and you actually comment on his actual pictures Hey You actually quote that Doja Cat song

And there's some lyrics in there, I tell you. Hot under the collar. So the original plan was there was talk about it. This is pre-COVID. Right. There's like a group of four of us that we would go. We'd all meet up for his 40th or we'd meet up for our 40th. Like somewhere exotic

like yeah maybe Hamilton there was talk about a Disneyland wedding and I got very excited about it

a Disneyland wedding yeah for his birthday one of those few people were just like let's get married let's all get married

to Disneyland I was gonna Star Wars too so that would have been pretty cool but okay pandemic and stuff so like all

all best laid plans which probably wouldn't have happened anyway because we're all pretty useless but yeah unless our partners were coming because so that would have been pretty cool. But pandemic and stuff. So like all best laid plans, which probably wouldn't have happened anyway because we're all pretty useless. But unless our partners were coming because then they would have organised that. We've all got very organised partners, which is great. But so now we've got to have a virtual 40th. So cleared the schedule for the weekend. The whole weekend?

Yep. But he's also on the other side of the world. Oh, yeah. So right now he's upside down. Yeah, well, he's also on the other side of the world. Oh, yeah. So right now he's- Upside down? Yeah, well, he's falling off. Yeah. He's falling off.

Because we're up the right way. Yeah. Correct. So that 12 hours behind? Yeah. So it's just getting into his night. Yeah, he's out for dinner. So when I get home from work, he's going to be getting home from his dinner

and we're going to play some Fortnite. Okay. And then tonight again, we'll probably do some more Fortnite. There's a to be getting home from his dinner and we're going to play some Fortnite. Okay. And then tonight again we'll probably do some more Fortnite. There's a Dungeons and Dragons. Stop going on about Dungeons. Can you hear all the people turning off the radio? Christ, it's a seal over. Well, now that they've gone.

Does it seal over when he says Dungeons and Dragons? It seals over when he talks. Well, now that they've gone and I've flushed out the fakes, I've got a million dollars to give away right now. Well, now that they've gone and I've flushed out the fakes, I've got a million dollars, I've got a million dollars to give away right now. No, you don't. The company's flush with cash,

but we needed to know it was going to someone who was a true fan. A true, yeah, right. A true fan. So yeah, I've got like a virtual 40th weekend.

Right. Cool. Yeah. So we're just doing like stuff online because we can't obviously like catch up with people. Yeah.

Because I know some, I've got a friend who's got a big 40th coming up and really upset that he can't do something. Yeah. My 40th's in February. So where are we going to be at then? I get 40 in February. I know. I'm so old now.

No. You wouldn't have guessed. So you pull your skin taut. You wouldn't have guessed. When do radio people start getting cosmetic surgery that they deny they've had? I mean, you could jump in all the time. I also have got no hair to hide my scars behind. You know, when you get your face pulled back,

they're like, we'll do it behind the hairline and no one will ever see that. That's where we've stitched you up. But whereas you'll have just big scars. Yeah. I have to make them look like I got them in a sword fight or something. I'm like, did you have cosmetic surgery? He's like, no. God, you won't believe this pirate's boarded my ship.

ZM's Fleshborn and Megan.
