Now, is this a regular thing now that you live together?

No, this is the first time it's ever happened actually. Okay right so you're setting a precedent. Yep. It's a dangerous precedent. Dangerous game. I would expect my lunch from now on made every day. Well I open my lunchbox and saw on this little bag. Yeah. Wait a minute, show me that bag. Glad bag. Reuse that, that's a glad bag. Or a sad bag If you're in the environment Yeah As we all know My girlfriend's a vegetarian

For science For science Yeah Okay So I mean yeah I mean harsh They were a pescatarian Because they still ate fish

But they Gosh they couldn't Bear the thought of eating a cow or a sheep. But she's written a note on the glad bag, on the little white bit. It's so cute. What does it say? You're the peanut butter to my jelly. Little heart. Hope you're having the best show.

See you tonight. Love you. X, X, X, X, X. Bleh. Bleh. That's so cute. At least you've got that little glad bag to vomit in. Take your sandwich out before you vomit.

What is your sandwich? I believe a peanut butter situation. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. That's enough sustenance for a growing boy during the day. That's like a kid's lunch. Yeah, well, I'll only eat it between the hours of like 5 a.m. and 9.30. Oh, so it's a pre-lunch lunch.

Yeah, it's like a pre-breakfast lunch. Right. Okay. A brunch, I reckon that's a pretty catchy name for it because it's breakfast with lunch. That could catch on. Yeah. Or a lekfast. Nah, it's not as catchy.

Not as catchy. ZM. Hit music. Live ZM. Fleach, Fawn and Megan. The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleach Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul. Ooh la la.

No Hayley Sproul today. Vaughan Smith. Oh, my headphones went to the guy that fixes headphones. Oh, and they're all fixed. Well, that's a little stiff. You've got two ears now, good. Two ears and a... Oh yeah, that's...

Working. That's good stuff. Well, happy one year anniversary It was one year ago today That Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Announced Level 4 In lockdown Announced it or went into it?

I don't know Do you remember she announced it and she said Announced or went into it? Do we have a couple of days? Yeah, to like prep There's a big thing about it. This one? Yep.

There's a story about a house that burnt down. Everything burnt down except for the firewood pile. I know. That would have been gutting for the family. There's a story about two ladies riding their horses through a KFC drive-thru. Big news day. Strandings on cart as bubble grows. Next one.

Jesus. Keep going. Keep going. Someone threw a gun into the sea. Keep going. They want to restore an old church. Lockdown. Here we go.

Lockdown, the team's first test. I don't know, man. It was a year ago. Today, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced an imminent move to level four lockdown. team's first test. I don't know, man. What do you want from me? It was a year ago. It was a year ago today, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced an imminent move to level four lockdown.

So that means that she announced that, but on the same day, that night, right? And I think we had a couple of days, didn't we? Yeah, and it felt like in the early days, we did have a couple of days

to get our affairs in order. Well, happy one-year anniversary and how fitting that an MIQ worker has tested positive overnight. Why don't Australia have more MIQ workers testing positive? Why do we have more than them? I don't know. Are we a little bit looser? A little bit cash, maybe.

Well, the top six coming up, dealing with the one-year anniversary. The top six things we've learnt in one year since lockdowns became a thing. Prior to that, excuse me, prior to that, I had a little hiccup. Prior to that, what was lockdown? It was when you went to jail for a crime, wasn't it? But we've all been in our own personal jails. And a year ago today was kind of the thing. So the top six things we've learned in a year.

All right. Also coming up and starting at seven, we've got a blitz today for ZM's $50,000 secret sound, all thanks to Star, streaming now on Disney+. So we'll give you a chance every hour, starting from seven until five this afternoon with Brianne Clint. So if you think you know what the secret sound is, the activator, your next shot.

More chances than ever. Yeah, 11 chances today. If you can tell us what this sound is, and you can get through, $50,000 is yours. Fletchvorner Megan, the podcast, ZM. The Mars Rover is kind of the nickname for anything that goes onto Mars, really. Anything that can be controlled from Earth. You've got your Discovery.

That was one of them. And they hoon around and they tell us things. And there's a new one. I just saw that the new one that's on Mars, it detached. It's got a little drone. It detached its drone, right? It showed a photo of the drone at the bottom. And it's going to scoot around Mars.

It's going to do a few test flights. And it's not, it's just to see if it can fly in the air that's on Mars in the atmosphere. Yeah.

It's not really to... A little bit of a test. There might be a bit of mapping? It's got cameras on it, but I don't think that's the aim of it. Right.

I think the aim of it is just to see if it can, a drone can fly on Mars. Well, this isn't, what I'm about to talk about isn't a Mars rover in the sense that it's on Mars. It's a Mars rover in the sense that it is by Mars. It's a, you know, Mars, the food company. The chocolate bar. Yeah.

And this Mars rover titters around a supermarket and tries to get you to buy the sweets. Now, Mars owns so many. Mars M&Ms, eh? Yep. Yep. They own everything. They own like Eclipse Mints. They own heaps of chewing gum.

They own Snickers, Skittles, M&Ms, the lot. Yeah, I just Googled. Look at that. Massive. Huge amount. Yeah, heaps. Okay. They've got the candy bar wise. M&M's the lot yeah I just googled look at that massive huge amount yeah heaps okay they've got the candy

candy bar wise they're um you know the big player well this thing scoots around the supermarket and follows you um trying to get you to buy chocolate bars

like chewing gum and stuff it's like a it's like a it's like a robot vacuum cleaner yeah with a with a

shelf on top yep and it follows you around the supermarket. And does it pester you? Does it, like, when you say, no, I don't need any, will it leave you alone? It just keeps scooting around. Right. Okay.

Aware of its surroundings, like it won't bang into shelves or bang into people or if someone's, like, running at a little stop so they can go around it. Yep. And it's made by a company, I don't know if I'm saying this right, called Savoki. Savioki. Yeah. And I looked into this company a little bit and their background,

what they do mostly is medical based robots. Like automated hospital robots that like doctors can be doing a blood test of the patient, pop it in the robot and be like, take that to the lab and then it will know whereabouts in the hospital the lab is. It can like take a lift and everything

and get down there just so the doctor can start the patient and move on to the next patient. And when it's finished, it comes back and follows the doctor around like a little virtual doctor's assistant. Wow, okay. And that I'm imagining when we're in a rest home is what we'll talk to for company because no one will come and visit us. Wow, okay. And that I'm imagining when we're in a rest home is what we'll talk to

for company because no one will come and visit us. Yeah, basically. Yeah, basically. It can come in and like check your vitals. You'll be plugged into a machine

but it can come in and read off the machine and apparently it's getting quite a bit of use in like COVID times to save too much exposure. Like if someone has COVID the robot will come in and check the

vitals and then if it's needed, a nurse will go in. How, um, the rover that will be in the supermarket though, how will that be as a parent? Because do you ever skip the lolly aisle with your kids? Oh yeah, you don't go down the biscuit. I don't know what's wrong

with them, my kids. Like when they get chocolate, they don't just eat it all at once. They save it. They save it and then forget about it. They forget about it. And then I eat it and they don't care. Yeah, right. Because I remember if we went to the supermarket, you just pissed at your parents.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, they didn't do that too much. They'd be like, oh, can we have that? And I'm like, oh, no, not today because we're going home for dinner. And they're like, okay. What? What's wrong with them? Yeah, I know, you really want them to come and put up a fight. That is so weird.

I'm not going to fight you on this forever. Yeah. But no, they're not. They don't worry. If this thing could be following us around, they'd probably be more interested in the fact that there was a robot in the supermarket and the chocolates it was carrying. And it had lollies. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. A study's been done by the Cambridge University

group and they have found that happiness, the most happy workers were workers that worked part-time one to two days a week. Obviously, because they don't have to work five days a week. They don't work as much. Yeah. What are they doing with their other time? Like, are they...

It didn't delve into that. It just said that they're only working one or two days. So I guess they've got a lot of free time and they're happier because of it. They've got that better balance. They've got that better work-life balance. But then if you can afford to do that, because I'm imagining those kind of people

are maybe semi-retired, that are working part-time. Yeah. Or, I don't know, I was going to think like new parents maybe, but then if they're other times at home running around and trying to entertain kids and stuff. Well, they were just surprised because they thought maybe it would be people

that work three to four times a week. Right. But it's not. It's one to two times a week. I guess it's that balance though, right? Yeah. But if you could find a job where you could just work one to two days a week. Remember when everybody was reading that book, The Four Hour Work Week?

Yeah. That book, everyone was like, You sure it wasn't more hours? You sure it wasn't more hours? Four hour work. Yeah, The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. And how is it just that you got all your work done in that time? The Four Hour Work Week, Escape at 9 to 5, Live Any four-hour work week, escape a nine-to-five,

live anywhere and join the new rich. There's a self-help book by Tim Ferriss. Right. I need to know more about, like, what four hours of the week was he working and was this, like, how was the reception on this? Before COVID, excuse me, before COVID, you'd be like, oh, yeah, we can kind of work from home. And now we can.

And now you can work from home. It's like, oh yeah, we can't all work from home. And now we can. And now you can work from home. It's like, oh, I couldn't go into work. I couldn't do a few hours at home in the morning and then beat the, you know, dodge the traffic and go in at 11 and work till 3 and then come home and maybe do another hour on the other side of it to avoid traffic. Turns out you can. Turns out you can, yeah. Turns out you totally can.

But yeah, apparently that's, if you can find a job where you can work that many hours a week, one or two days. Yeah. Yeah. You're the most happiest in the study that looked at people that work full weeks right down to not at all. Was it like a rank? Like where was the next happiest people?

Well, no, but it did say that those that lose their job are more likely to experience mental health problems, which isn't surprising. Well, yeah, that's the industry stress. Well, you've just lost your job and you're stressed and, yeah. You're getting paid very well hourly to work one day a week. Well, that sort of makes me think it's just semi-retired people. Yeah. That, you know, have worked all their lives. Yeah.

Don't need the money. Yeah, benefited hugely from the lack of capital gains. Yeah, or their partner works a lot so they don't have to. Yeah. Just have a little one or two day a week job. Huh. So basically find a sugar daddy and work two days a week. I've already worked my day this week.

That's why today I can't be bothered. I worked my day. You worked your day yesterday. Yeah, from here on out. Who, like, is it just a happiness vacuum from here on out? Every day just gets worse until Friday and you just need to drain your sorrows and start again on Monday. It was like when I thought about the fact that people who did, growing up in the country,

we didn't have a rubbish delivery, like a rubbish pickup rather. A rubbish delivery. Imagine that. You look outside, oh, they've dropped the rubbish back off. A rubbish takeaway. Right. But then when people, I talk to people in town, they'd say, oh yeah, they pick up the rubbish once a week. In my mind, that just

meant that the people who did the rubbish only worked one day a week. Oh, you know, they worked. That wouldn't be too bad. Yeah. Like, it's rubbish and it's gross and there'd be the smell, but you know, they've got the fitness, they're running beside the truck. Yeah, but the other days they do other suburbs. Exactly, exactly. They just move on to the next place. I never considered that

that one day was just what they could cover in one day. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. From the muggy ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Today, one year since the level four announcement. Lockdown, baby. Yeah. It all happened pretty quick.

And then we went in on the 25th of March. So we had two days to prep for it. Back in the day when you had a couple of days warning before level changes. Yeah. And COVID would be like, yeah, we won't infect people. You guys go crazy at the supermarket. Get up all in each other's faces. No masks.

Don't wash your hands. We'll wait for two days. It was a weird time, wasn't it? It was a crazy time. When you look back. Well, it's a year, so I've got the top six things we've learnt in the last year. Okay. But before that, probably wouldn't have ever been on our radar. Number six on the list of the top six things we've learnt

in the last year. Yes, you can spend a whole week in the same pyjama bottoms. Absolutely you can. Absolutely you can. No need to change. If you are going to wash whilst it's not compulsory you can pop them straight back on. Yeah, easy.

Number five on the list of the top six things we've learnt in the last year. People who are stuck at home really thought spa pools were a great investment. Do you know how many spa pools got sold? I remember there was a backlog of orders. Yeah, when it came out of lockdown and there was the talk that we'd be in and out of those sorts of things for a while.

I wouldn't be upset if I still had a spa pool. Do you think people were regretting their spa pool purchases? No, they regret them, but I don't think they're using them as much as they thought they would be. Oh, right. I wonder if I would use mine a lot if I had one. I think I would. Do you reckon?

You would for the first while, and then I think you get a bit complacent with your spare paws. And then I'd be like, oh, yuck, the water's manky. Yeah, that needs to be fixed. I need a new silver tab thing. Yeah. Okay. Number four on the list of the top six things we've learned in the last year.

Les Mills can make a TV show. It's not as interesting as, say, your Tiger Kings, your Schitt's Creek. They had the TV one Les Mills show. They had the Les Mills hour. Did they have a channel? No, they just had times where it happened. Yeah, and you'd get in there. It felt pretty good to watch that while you were eating chips at 9 o'clock in the morning.

I'm not going to lie. It did, it did. Number three on the list of the top six things we've learned in the last year. Sourdough wasn't worth the effort. It also makes you really appreciate the sourdough bread baker at the markets more. When you see them, you're like, oh yeah, a lot of effort goes into one of those. Well done for having like 40 here for sale. Yeah, remember you couldn't buy yeast for like weeks.

Yep, yeast. Baking powder or baking soda? One of the bakings. And flour, all the flour was gone. It was gone. Everyone bought a bloody bread maker. Our number two on the list of the top six things we've learned in the last year. We've learned we should just give the teachers what they want when they want it.

Homeschooling was tough and the kid to teacher ratio in homeschooling was like two to one or three to one. Yeah. If it was four to one, then that's on you for having too many kids. That's a big classroom. You've got to be teaching them at different levels. I haven't heard in the last year, I haven't heard many people say,

oh, God, teachers and their holidays. Yeah. No, it's gone pretty quiet. It's gone pretty quiet. It's gone very quiet. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six things we've learned in the last year,

some people shouldn't be allowed on the internet because they think after a five-minute YouTube video that they're smarter than doctors and scientists who have literally been studying the area for years. Years and years. Bless them. And years. And years.

That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. News today that there is someone who worked at an MIQ facility in Auckland at the Grand Millennium Hotel who has tested positive for COVID-19. They may have had their first immunisation. Well, yeah, a lot of the frontline workers have had their first one. But it hasn't been the three weeks since it started, right?

And that's the idea, get the two of them and then you're 90-something percent. Because we've got the good guy. We've got the Pfizer, right? We've got the Pfizer. So I think you have your first one, you wait three weeks, you have your second one, and then you have to wait two weeks

and you should be... 90-something percent. 95, 97%. Yeah. I mean, you've still got to take the... Still got to take the precautions. Yeah, and I don't... Still got to do everything else.

I don't think they're 100% sure if you can't pass it on. Like, it won't affect you if you're vaccinated, but... You could pass it on to people. That's why, if you're also. But you could pass it on to people. That's why if you're also like an immediate contact of someone who's working on the frontline, poor workers, you're entitled to them as well.

So at the moment, that worker is isolating at home and so are their immediate household members. There are no locations of interest at the moment on the Ministry of Health website, but we'll update you and let you know as soon as we find out any this morning. They're doing additional tests and also the gnome sequencing. This is where they get little garden gnomes to do the test because they're immune. And they link the garden gnomes together.

Yeah. And they work out where the COVID came from using the gnome sequencing. Yep. Yesterday there was an announcement about an announcement to possibly announce the announcement of a travel bubble with Australia. Do you think they were going to announce it, but they knew this was coming? Don't know.

Or was it the media? Because I wondered if it was the media's fault. We got us all excited about a travel bubble yesterday announcement. But there had been no... Yet they weren't even going to do that. It was weird. Yeah, so no decision on a travel bubble is going to be made for two more weeks. That's right, eh?

And then they'll let us know in two weeks. Yeah, where they're at with the travel bubble. And I mean, it'll be strongly dependent on this case that's been announced as well too. Because Australia's been a long time now. Also, there's always a big asterisk. Like every time they talk about the travel bubble, they're like, by the way, if you get stranded there, we're not helping. You're stranded there.

Like you might have a couple of days or 24, 72 hours to get home. But good luck on your cheap, non-refundable flight, changing it to come back sooner. And getting any extension. Yeah, you'd be lucky if you timed your return in that 72-hour window. If not, you're probably going to be there for a while. Which would be fine if you've got a job where you can work from home, and you can stay with family or friends in Australia, say, for example.

But if you can't, imagine getting a hotel for like three weeks until you can come home oh and even if it's longer than that that's a surefire way to test just how close you are with these friends or family in Australia that you're now

lodged down with yeah I don't think I'm gonna I don't think I'm gonna rush out and go anywhere nah nah I still haven't seen

I'd get stuck somewhere yeah I still haven't seen all those parts of New Zealand that I said I'll totally see. I've seen like two of them. How's that going? Just two? Yeah.

A lot of admin involved. Yeah. A lot of admin involved. Can I take like the rest of the week off? Start ticking these off my bucket list? I just don't think you would. You'd go home and do the lawns. Yeah, I probably would.

Oh my God, yeah, do the lawns. Yeah, trim the hedges. This is why you're not seeing those parts of New Zealand. I'm seeing my little part a lot. Well, it is to the UK that we go for today's Yummy Yummy, although we do have this outlet here. Okay. In Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Crispy Cream have released a dozen a dozen pack of donuts for Easter with three different Easter flavours. But it is one specific Easter flavour that has really caught people's attention. Whilst not officially

endorsed by Cadbury and whilst not called the Cream Egg Donut, it is effectively a Cream Egg Donut. It's a donut with that creamy goodness and then the yellow bit right in the middle. Oh, yeah. And then dipped in icing and then back and forth with some white and yellow icing decorative splash.

So it's like a Cream Egg Donut. Yeah, good. Yeah, okay. And there'd like a cream egg donut. Yeah, good. Yeah, yeah. And there'd be more cream because is it me or is the cream in the middle got a bit rubbish over the years? The recipe's definitely changed

a little bit. And I also just think when you get older, well, this is definitely my case. My palate to sweetness has changed. Like I can't gobble a whole cream egg anymore. When I was a kid

and they came in four packs, I could just sit down and literally go, um, um, um, next. Um, um, um. I could eat four in a row. See, I've got a sweet tooth. I reckon I could easily do two

and then I'd be out. Two and a half, maybe. They're a wild, they're a wild invention. Yeah, they are. What we want to do, they're about the size of a chicken egg,

but they're a thick chocolate. Okay, go on. And inside, it's just coloured sugar. What colours? White and yellow. It's wild, right? It is, it is. It's just a tooth destroyer.

So no word if that's in New Zealand. No. But, I mean, they're missing a trick if they don't. Yeah. The Easter egg extravaganza dozen also has the flavours of this egg stream berry pop, which is shaped like an egg and filled with fruity raspberry jam dipped in icing extravaganza dozen. Also has the flavours Eggstream Berry Pop, which is shaped like an egg and filled with fruity raspberry jam

dipped in icing and decorated with the popping candy. It's that time of year because Easter's like a month or what? Not even. No, not even. A couple of weeks. A couple of weeks away.

Like, you know, cafes are doing those mockers where they put a hollow Easter egg in a cup and then they fill it With coffee And then it melts And you drink it Yum

What about that place Where your place That does those Like award winning Hot cross buns Oh yeah They're doing nice Yeah yeah

I saw a sign They had a sign up Like two months ago Saying just in case Covid happens Order now Oh right Get it

They are But I know Some years they sell out They're like Every time There's like a mad A most amazing Hot cross buns Got a bit of orange rind In there And I'm afraid to like Oh, right. But I know some years they sell out. Every time there's like a mad. The densest, most amazing hot cross buns.

Got a bit of orange rind in there. And I'm afraid to like huck in a couple of extra sultanas. That was a great hot cross bun. Just what we need after a year of lockdowns in a day. Just more food. Yeah. Oh, this is the last one. Promise. Yeah.

I think it's the sound of the inside of a ring binder. Okay. Have we had that guess before? We've had book binder, but like... A spiral, one of the spiral, the machine that makes it. Yeah. You used to go to your mum's work after school and... Yeah.

Ring binder. Just to make holes in all the paper. Yeah. But this is like a ring binder you'd have at school. You put your refill paper on it. You put the dividers in. You've got the little, the two, the punch through. They're gone, right?

They're a thing of the past. Kids aren't dragging those to school anymore, right? Because you've got folders on your laptops and on your tablets and stuff. They have tablets nowadays. Yeah, yeah.

And PowerPoints. Yeah, but you can put that through the little slips, the clear files, so you're not having to punch everything. You guys used to put the eyelets on the refill paper? Oh yeah.

Orlando Bloom has been interviewed for a magazine, and it's one of those ones where we find out about a day in the life of Orlando Bloom because they want to know from his wake-up to his sleep, what does his day entail. Yeah. And it does read like one of those satirical day in the life ofs. Is he knowing? Do you think he's being sarcastic?

No. No. Okay. Because he's been wearing it the last 24 hours online. Uh-huh. So he's 44 now. He was 22 when he got cast as Legolas in Lord of the Rings. Wow.

Okay. That was his big break. He's done Pirates of the Caribbean since and all sorts of things. Apparently he's got a production deal with Amazon and he's, so he's working, he's still working. Right. He says, I wake up at 6.30am.

I have a smart ring tracker and the first thing I do is look at the app to see if I have had a good sleep and check my readiness for the day. Smart ring, like not a watch? Yeah, it's like a ring that you put on that tracks your sleep. It's like the latest in wearables. Right.

And if you charge your smart watch overnight, some people wear the ring and it tells them how they go for sleeping. Then I check my daughter who's usually up and cooing in her cot. My fiancée, Katy Perry, needs her sleep, so I try to let her have a lie-in. Daisy's a very happy baby. I'll kiss her and then spend some time connecting with her. I'll do eye-gazing with her.

Okay. Or I guess it's just you eyeball your kid. I do that too when you're in the shop and they're misbehaving. Yeah. Except mine's not. I wouldn't call it eye-gazing. I'd call it eye-daggers. Yeah.

We all had our mum give us the eye-daggers. And I sing songs like Daddy Loves His Daisy Dove and Just So She Knows Who Daddy Is. My son's first words were mama, but Daisy said dada. It's amazing to be a father again. There's less anxiety this time and more presence. I'm a Capricorn, so I crave routine. Bloom reads on.

Fortunately, my partner's really into that too. I chant for 20 minutes every day religiously. Okay. What, like a meditation? Chant. I've had a Buddhist practice since I was 16. Okay. So that's infiltrated my whole being.

I read a bit of Buddhism. I read a bit of Buddhism. And then I'll type it up and add it to my Instagram stories. Okay. Oh, we all love following the person

who's giving us their daily thoughts. Yeah. With a religious tip on Instagram. He'd get an unfollow. He'd get a hide. He'd get a mute.

Yeah. He'd get a mute on stories. I don't mute. I mute stories before I mute posts. And then if the posts get it, I'll just mute that as well. Yeah, I mute posts as well.

Yeah. Other than that, I won't look at as well. Yeah, I mute posts as well. Other than that, I won't look at my phone yet because I don't want to be sucked into the black hole of social media. Okay. I like to earn my breakfast, so I'll just have some green powders that I mix with brain octane oil. Right. A collagen powder for my hair and nails and some protein. It's all really quite LA

really. And then I'll go for a hike while I listen to some Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots. So he's trying to be everything to everybody here. Yeah, yeah. He's Buddhist, but he likes 90s grunge. He's trying to get the rock guys on board, but I think he lost them at the protein powder and the collagen stuff. He did. 9am

after my hike, it's breakfast. It's only 9am. It's only 9am. It feels like 4pm, right? It feels like 4pm. It really does. At 9am, it's after theam. It's only 9am. It feels like 4pm, right? It feels like 4pm. It really does. At 9am, it's after the hike, it's breakfast, which is usually porridge, a little hazelnut milk, cinnamon, vanilla paste, again, hazelnuts again, goji berries, a vegan protein powder and a cup of PG tips. So he's an everyday brat.

He's not a Dilmar guy. I'm 90% plant-based. That's just a little add-on there. So I'll only eat a really good piece of red meat maybe once a month. He's an everyday brat. He's not a Dilmar guy. I'm 90% plant-based. That's just a little add-on there. So I'll only eat a really good piece of red meat maybe once a month. This is a good line. Sometimes I look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Okay. At some point in time, we'll look back and not be able to believe that we ever used to eat meat. My son spends half the time with me and half the time with my ex-wife. If he's with us, I'll get him breakfast before school. Then I'll have a shower and get dressed. I'd like to make an effort.

No tracksuit bottoms. And then I do some work. And I spend a lot of time dreaming about roles for myself and others. Time specifically thinking about minorities and women. That's the bit he's getting absolutely trawled through online about. I'm trying to be a voice for everybody.

I had this remarkable opening chapter of my career for which I was only semi-present. Without my Buddhist practice, I would have easily come off the rails. So then science a bit more. I'll skip down a little bit. Lunch is mostly plant-based again.

Vegetables or a stew. I'll cook at times, but otherwise Lunch is mostly plant-based again, vegetables or a stew. Okay. I'll cook at times, but otherwise there's a team of people for that. There's a team. Why would you cook if you had a team of people? What are they doing now? Nothing? Yeah.

Give it to the team of people. You've got a team of people and you're like, can you make me a stew? I assume if you're like Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, there's nutritionists on board. I'm not cooking anything if I had the money for a nutritionist. Yeah. I'm going to sit in the kitchen and maybe watch them, but I'm not going to lift a finger. During COVID, I started building Lego again.

I dip in and out while I work. I mostly build cars and find this methodical nature of creating this little thing makes me feel like I'm achieving something else. Then I'll do heavy weights for an hour. Okay. What time is it now? Something to exhaust me. Then we'll put baby to bed.

So I'm imagining we're later in the day. And it's dinner time. After that, I like to watch a documentary. Okay. I aim to get to bed by 11. If I get eight hours sleep, I'm happy. And so is my sleep tracker. Time is so precious.

I was always giving my time to other people. And now that I have space to dream. And that's a day in the life of Orlando Bloom. Christ, that sounds just full on, doesn't it? But when you think about it, he did nothing. He really did nothing. He really did nothing. That wasn't like He did nothing. He really did nothing. That wasn't, like, what did he tell me something he did?

Nothing! Like he went for a walk. He went for a walk and he did some Buddhist chanting. That's all I can guarantee, confirm that he did. Well, he did dream of some roles for himself and other people. And other people. He did spend some time thinking about. Minorities.

So I've spent time thinking about lots of stuff, but I wouldn't put it on my list of things that I did for the day. No. Thought. And then I'm 3.15. I thought too much about how I don't have to think about breathing and I panicked and didn't breathe. Yeah.

I choked. Like you didn't even make the same lunch. And then I had the hiccups for 20 minutes. Yeah. There's a team of people for that. Wow. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Audio Ninja Warrior.

Audio Ninja Warrior, you've got to make your way through the Audio Ninja Warrior course the fastest by making the sound effects that we give you. And today, Sarah, good morning. Hi. You'll be playing against Jared, who currently is in the cone of silence, so he won't hear the sound effects. No, he won't

have any advantage to going second. No, we're going to give you the name of a sound effect. You have to give it to us, and when we're happy, we'll move on to the next sound effect. If we're not happy, we'll pause the timer. Yeah, we may deliberate. Yeah, talk about what you could

have done better and then ask for it again before we can move on. Fail a second time, however, game over. Game over, yeah. All right, okay, here we go, Sarah. Your time starts now. A dog barking in the distance. Oof, oof, oof, oof. I'm just going to pause it.

I didn't get a distance. We're pausing. I didn't get the distance. It was two up close. The dog was two up close. The dog was two up close. That was like a dog at the door, wasn't it? Okay, let's... And unpause.

Dog barking in the distance. We'll give you that one. Puffy old asthmatic dog. Popcorn popping. Oh, good. That's really good. That's at the start of the process. An ice cream truck.

Yes. The guy at the gym who grunts loudly while doing weights. Yeah. Yeah, good. She's getting a pusher at the top there. That's good. A dolphin. I'm just going to pause there.

That sounded more like a Soviet Union siren when there was a nuclear bomb inbound. I liked it. You liked it? I think we were accepting that. Are we accepting that? I'm happy to take and go. And finally, how your dad answers the phone. Hello? I mean, I finally, how your dad answers the phone. Hello?

I mean, I don't know your dad, so he might sound terrified every time he answers the phone. I've done it. Hello? Wow. Hello? Hello? Hello?

Hey. Hi. No, we're just being your dad, freaking out, because he's obviously never used a phone before. He doesn't like answering the phone, so he's always like, hello. Very suspicious. That's amazing.

All right, Sarah, we're going to pop you into the cone of silence and we bring in Jared. Good morning, Jared. Good morning. How are you? Good. Are you ready to tackle the Audio Ninja Warrior course? I'm ready. All right.

Okay. Your time starts now. A dog barking in the distance. I'm just going to pause again because we put it on Sarah. We're not getting the distance vibe there. That just sounded like a dog howling at the door. It was too close. You're ready to restart.

Okay. Okay, and go. We'll give you that. Same as Sarah. Popcorn popping. Aggressive. I like that. Apache helicopter, didn't it?

Yeah. An ice cream truck. Yes. I like it. I like it. A bit of tunes there with the ice cream truck. The guy at the gym who grunts when he's doing weights. Yep.

I like it. Just the one rep. One rep there. It's a heavy weight. A dolphin. I'm just going to stop that. Have you ever seen a dolphin? That sounded like a wounded dog. Yeah. It to stop that. Have you ever seen a dolphin? That sounded like a wounded dog.

Yeah. That actually sounded more like a dog in the distance than your dog in the distance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to need one more dolphin. Okay, and go. Yeah. We'll give it to you.

And how your dad answers the phone. Oi. Oi. Yeah. There we go. Very good, very good. All right, and I think this is going to be very close. Yeah, pretty close. Jared and Sarah were today's Audio Ninja Warriors.

Both in the 50 seconds. But a winner by four and a half seconds. Sarah, congratulations. Today's Audio Ninja Warrior champion. Congratulations. Both of you having trouble with the dog in the distance, but I think both nailing the ice cream truck. Now I'd say ice cream truck was a highlight

as well as dad's answer in the fun. Both had that very stereotypical. Fantastic. You're welcome. Congratulations, Sarah, this week's winner of Audio Ninja Warrior. Well done. Woo-hoo! Congratulations.

I'm no doctor, but my advice would be don't do that. Well, I mentioned that you'd have to prove it, right? My dad's insulted because he's over 65 now. Yeah. He's insulted that he is prioritised. But do you know what your dad and my parents haven't grown up with is when you move into a different age bracket of the pull-down menus. Oh, yeah, that's confronting.

Our whole lives now are going to be right from, you know, from when we had the internet at a very young age, right until we're 65. We're going to be going through those pull-down... Scroll back to find 1982, like I do. Or your age groups. And, like, that's going to be your whole life. It's very confronting, Georgia.

It is really confronting, but I just did the test too, and I group four so you're great so you you just basically like do you want to go through you're going to go through the test here the questions do you work at the border or in managed isolation or quarantine no no i don't do you live with a border or managed isolation and quarantine worker? I don't. Damn it. He's still in group four. Still in group four.

Are you age 65 or over? No, damn it. Because this is a thing overseas. Do you remember in the US, those people got caught dressing up as old people? Yeah, to get the vaccine. And people in the UK have been lying about living and working in an area that would get a vaccine before. And that really rich Canadian dude flew up to a reservation because native Canadians were getting priority immunisation because of their isolation and how it could rip through

their communities if it got in there. And he was a millionaire. He flew up there, got the jab and then flew home on his private jet. Son of a bitch. Are you a high-risk frontline healthcare worker? No. Do you work in long-term residential environment? What does that mean?

I've got the badge. I've got that. They gave me a sticky Velcro badge. Yeah, I've got a sticky Velcro badge too. We should buy some sexy green overalls to put those on, by the way Zealand Defence Force. Really? I've got the badge. I've got that. They gave me a sticky Velcro badge. Yeah, I've got a sticky Velcro badge too. We should buy some sexy green overalls to put those on, by the way. We should. Not pretend to be, you know, a soldier or whatever. No.

Just a member. God damn it, no. Are you an adult living under the care of the Department of Corrections? This does not include people on probation or home detention or community. Oh, because I was going to say you could just like run up a light DUI, get some community service and get a vaccine next week. like run up a light DUI, get some community service and get a vaccine next week. Yeah.

Just a light DUI, you know. But then what am I vaccinating? You know, just one wine over? I'm vaccinating so I can travel one day and the DUI would definitely put the handbrake on that. Oh yeah, okay.

So that's a no for me too. Am I pregnant, disabled or have underlying health conditions? What does that include? Damn it. Lack of ability to pay attention wasn't an underlying health issue. What does that include? Damn it. Lack of ability to pay attention wasn't an underlying health issue. I do have that.

If you're pregnant, it doesn't matter what stage you're pregnant. No. No. Group four. I can get a vaccine from July. Yeah, and I think group three's May and yeah, so progressively goes back.

Who's group two? I think over 65s. Right. Yeah. Okay. So your dad will be stoked He's so insulted He'll wait to group four

Just to feel To feel young again See I told you I told you so I'm fine ZM's Fletch Warner Megan The podcast A UK woman was charged

In New Zealand Yeah $3,095 For a bunch of bananas Are these goldplated bananas? That's 1,500 pounds. Jesus. She was charged for bananas.

They should have cost one pound. Right. But there was a mistake. Okay. And rather than, when they punched them, they were bananas, there was, you know, if you do it on self-serve, and it says how much they should cost. Yeah.

And then there was a decimal point issue. Right. And it jumped down a few. Yeah. And then there was a decimal point issue. Right. And it jumped down a few. Right. Which took it to $1,500. And so what? She just like swiped her card, didn't even look at the money. No, she was using Apple Pay.

So if you ever do that, you know, you like double tap it on your phone, it scans your face. It says, which card do you want to use? If you've got multiple cards, you click it and it goes, and then it sends you a little notification to tell you how much you spent. Yeah, so good. So she did that. And then when she got the little, this is how much you spent, she looked down and she was like, wait a minute, what did that say?

And it said $1,599. For bananas. Yeah. And because it was on her credit card, she had that. Yeah, because she'd have a high limit. So she could have walked away. And not even noticed. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how So she could have walked away and not even noticed. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how rich you'd have to be to

not notice $1,500 worth of bananas on your credit card. So then apparently in store there's a machine capable of doing refunds, but she was told by the staff, and that Marks and Spencer, which is like a supermarket, that their machine was broken, so if she wanted a refund, she'd have

to go to the next Marks & Spencer, which was a 45-minute walk away. Which you'd probably do because you'd want your $1,500 back. Yeah, I'm going to walk 45 minutes for 1,500 pound, I reckon. Yeah. Yeah. In New Zealand,

Apple pays a $200 limit without putting in a pin. A pin. Oh, so you'd notice. You'd be like, why am I putting in my pin? For a bunch of bananas. So yeah, huge overcharge. I'm pretty bad with that. Like, you know, your PayPal, your PayPass, your credit card. Yeah.

Your Apple Pay. You just don't look sometimes. My mum, when they pass her the receipt, will kind of like dawdle out, but she will look at the receipt and give it a scan to see that there's nothing on there on the walk to the car. She'll have it done before she gets out the door of the supermarket because she wants to be able to stop and be like, oh, excuse me, there's a problem.

The advertised price of your potatoes were a dollar, at least in the mailer. Yeah. Oh, Christine's a real, I remember she used to cut out the vouchers. What do they call them? Discount vouchers. Coupons. Coupons.

She was a coupon queen. Well, you remember you used to have the coupon books. Yeah, they'd come in the mail and you'd cut out the coupons. And if you didn't have the coupon, you didn't get the discount, which was nuts to think about. How many trees do you reckon they would have gone through back in the day? Oh, so many of those shiny trees. Yeah.

They were always a shiny one. We're wondering if you've ever been overcharged for something this morning. And maybe you didn't notice. Maybe it was a decimal place issue. Doesn't have to be at the supermarket either. It could be anywhere. I always like it when it goes the other way around and you get undercharged. You never say anything.

No, you don't. You keep it quiet. When you get overcharged, you have an issue about it. Because I got overcharged for something. I think that it was like avocados. It was like two for $4 or something. And they charged me like for two of them. And I was like, hang on a second.

Yeah, yeah. Hold your horses there. Or yeah, when it's an avocado and you get charged per avocado, not the discounted lot. Producer Jared, when you worked at a supermarket, did you ever accidentally overcharge anyone? Did you do this? I did one time. I accidentally forgot to give a lady, the loveliest, sweetest old lady, her cash out. And it was $100 cash.

I always forget to get my cash. I didn't steal it. I didn't get to keep it. I just got called up by the manager. Yeah. And he was like, yo, your till's over by $100. And who got that money? I don't know.

I think they just like kept it. How immediately? I've always wondered. How immediately do they know that your till's over or under? Well, when I started, it was weekly. Like Fridays, you'd put your, you'd cash out your till. But when I left, it was daily. So you just give them,

because I've seen them change their drawers. Yeah. And so do you put that drawer somewhere behind the scenes in a supermarket and no one's allowed to touch it? Yeah, so behind customer service is like a safe room. And then there's just like a wall of everyone's tills. And then end of the day,

you get your little canvas bag out with your till number on it. You pour all your coins in there or your cash in there. Dump it in the big counting machine safe thing. That's your coin purse. And then, yeah, you get to go home after that. And you were 100. And I thought you had a blemish-free record in your supermarket. No, no, no.

His record is nothing but blemish. One a blemish-free record in your supermarket. No, no, no. His record is nothing but blemish. One large blemish. You short-changed an old lovely lady out of $100. Unbelievable. All right, well, 0800Diles.com. Give us a call. You can text in as well, 9696.

When were you overcharged? Yeah, man, maybe you didn't even notice it for ages. Maybe you just didn't smile. Got home. Yeah. Or checked you went to buy something else and it rejected. All right, give us a call. Talking about how much you've been overcharged.

A woman in the UK, 3,000 New Zealanders. Dollars, yeah, 1,599 pound for bananas. Bananas, just a bunch of nannies. Heather, how much did you get overcharged? Well, my $5 coffee cost me $500. Wow. Did you just do the pay wave thing and didn't even notice? No, that's right.

And I was travelling. I just got a coffee while I was driving and it wasn't until I got to my destination that I noticed. So I rang them back and I was like, oh my God. And they had realised. And so they got it back to you, all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was no issues.

Actually, you'd shit the bed, eh? Because you'd be like, oh my God, that's $500 for coffee. I probably wouldn't shit the bed. I would. It's $500. Yeah, it was an expensive coffee. Brilliant.. It's $500. Yeah, it was an expensive coffee. Brilliant.

Hey, Heather, thanks for your call, some text messages. Somebody said, hearing the story about your mum

checking the receipts before she leaves the supermarket, that's exactly what I do and I've been overcharged multiple times. They refund you the money on the spot

and you get to keep the product. Oh, okay, so worth checking. somebody said I've been refunded over 24 to 30 bucks

is my average refund. Really? But that's the thing. Now, I also don't shop at supermarkets because there's specific things on special or I'll scan something

and I'll be like, I swear that was on special and cheaper and then I'll doubt myself and be like, I must have been seeing things and then I'll just, I don't care.

I'll just say, oh, whatever. We are talking about when you've been overcharged for something. Maybe you didn't notice until far later on. Maybe it was an excessive amount. Someone said, I've just found out that I've been charged for my next door neighbour's power for four years. I did wonder why my power bill was high. What?

That is crazy. I remember when my neighbours moved in next door and they were paying my power and I didn't get a bill for like four months, five months, and I didn't even realise. Yeah. So it's just on automatic payment. Right.

And they took care of it for you? They were taking care of it for, I don't know who was paying their bill. Good neighbours. Yeah, good neighbours. Somebody said, my husband went out for dinner with his mate in Queenstown. It was phenomenal service and they agreed that they'd tip.

Yep. However, they accidentally put $250 instead of $25, but then didn't know how to ask for the money back because I had to. That would have been more than dinner. I know, I know. Hey, so I've put the wrong amount in. That's far more than I think the service was worth. I just love it when they press the enter button when it's like add tip.

They just skip past that because they know that you're not doing it. They can just see. Someone messaged in saying at their time at the supermarket, that overcharged people for vegetables by thumbing the scale. Why? Because if they were rude to them or didn't like them, they'd thumb the scale so that if it was by weight, they'd get charged a little extra. Now that's hard to prove. Producer Jarrod,. They'd thumb the scales so that if it was by weight, they'd get charged a little extra. Now, that's

hard to prove. Producer Jarrod, did you ever thumb the scales? No, definitely not. That's unethical. However, an old lady did message in saying, I'm the one who he never gave his $100 to. Sorry, Doris. Craig, how much did you, you actually overcharged someone? How much?

The purchase was $56, but it went through at $56,000. How, and did, what were they buying? I was working at Hellenstein's at the time in the Cappity Coast. Yeah. And buying socks, undies, singlets, and the total purchase came to about $56.

Yep. I accidentally put it through on the FPOS machine at $56,000 and it cleared. How did it clear? That's insane. Yeah, well, apparently the guy had the money and we did refund it right there. But it was harder to clear the paperwork. I thought there was, honestly, I thought there was a daily limit. Well, for some people, if they have the money and the clearance,

then they can do it. Wow. But no offence to Hellensteins because I shop there. Yeah. If I need a suit, I'm never going past the $200 suit combo. Yeah, I know. So shout out to the H-Boys. But if you've got the ability to put $56,000 through on any account,

surely you're not shopping at Hellensteins. Well, if they had the money, they'd be thrifty anyway. Well, that's why they've got the money. Damn it. Yeah, you're right. It's one of those rich get richer things. Hey, Craig, thanks for your call. Some other text messages. My dad paid $300 instead of $30 for some pizzas. He had

no idea he went back to the same pizza place two months later and the owner bought out an envelope from under the till with his description written on the front with the cash in it. Oh, wow. And said, oh, we overcharged you all those months ago. So he's, what, $270? Also, if you'd give that a couple of months

and if no one came in, that's yours, eh? Good scam. Yeah, great scam. We got overcharged for broccoli. We had four in the trolley, but the attendant typed in 144 broccolis. Okay. Shortly afterwards, we said to each other, that was a very expensive shop. And then

we looked at the receipt. $300 over budget because of those 140 imaginary broccoli that we didn't purchase. I'm assuming they got their money back. Yeah. Or just had to gnaw their way through 144 broccoli.

Very gassy flat, that 144 broccoli. Very gassy flat that would be. Well, super gassy. Yeah, they got, they wouldn't refund them, they just gave them broccoli every time they went in to pay off their broccoli debt.

I charged someone for seven bags of bread rolls instead of seven single rolls. They didn't notice, but it still weighs on me to this very day. That's having a conscience, isn't it? Yeah.

Okay. Not your traditional, eh? Not your... No, Elizabeth is. Lana's kind of there, but Darian, did you say? Yeah. Yeah. And is that Uncle Darian or is, but Darian, did you say? Yeah. Is that Uncle Darian or is that Auntie Darian? It's definitely Uncle Darian.

It's Uncle Darian. The name sounds to me like it could be a unisex name. Yeah, okay. But no, Darian is a man. I'm going to put down a couple here that are kind of like right. Like hmm Yeah, I'm going to put down a couple here that are kind of like... Right. Like, hmm.

I'm thinking of... Yep. I'm going to chuck a Catherine on. I'm going to chuck a Catherine on. I'm also going to chuck a Susan in. Okay. You can imagine Susan, Lana, Elizabeth and Darian, can't you? Yeah.

Like that's, it's a little bit older. Yeah. My mum might little bit older. Yeah. But mum might be the oldest. Yeah. But a variety there through the names. Yeah. So you could probably even go a Joy. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Mum could be Joy. Yeah. You know? It's a little out there. What's mum's middle name? Am I allowed to do this, by the way? Because I'm only guessing the first name, right?

Sorry. I mean, you're allowed to ask about the middle name. All right. What's mum's middle name? Am I allowed to do this, by the way? Because I'm only guessing the first name, right? I'm allowed to ask about the middle name. Alright, what's mum's middle name? Cherie. C-H. Cherie. Cherie. C-H-E-R-I-E. Yeah, that's it.

Okay. Cherie. We know Cherie. That doesn't help me, though, does it, in this situation? It doesn't. I don't know her middle name. No. Okay. Cherie. We know a Cherie. That doesn't help me though, does it, in this situation? It doesn't. I don't know her middle name. No. Okay. Okay, I'm going to go for a Lynn.

Yep. This is what Vaughan does. It just writes down names as we go. Because I think of the people I know. Yeah, and then... And then think of the people around them. Yeah, and you may think that's a crazy way to do it, but, I mean, you're on a hot streak.

Fiona just popped into my mind. That popped in, okay. And also a Renee. Okay. Put that on the list. Oh, sorry, I don't know who that was. What's Mum's profile picture on Facebook? She doesn't have social media.

Oh. She does. Mm-hmm. Well, that doesn't help me much at all. Well, I could use this to my advantage, though. She has a false one

to play Candy Crush, though. Pardon me? She has a false one so she can play Candy Crush. Do you need a Facebook to play Candy Crush,

do you? Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Okay. Okay, well, that's an extra. That's a real Carol move, that one.

Is it? Don't you think? Could be, yeah. With a side of Jane and a smidge of Lydia. Linda or Lydia? Lydia. I'm going to go Lydia. How many questions left?

Who's mum's favourite musician? Oh, ACDC. Oh, okay. Have a bogan, mum. It's a long way to the dark. You want to wrap it around. All right, Glenda. ACDC and some Candy Crush.

Glenda. Yeah. Does she love a Woodstock? Does she love a Burbs too? Well, no, that's not one of my questions. A bourbon. No, that's a side question. You can ask her, though, if you like.

Just you ask, because I'm the latter. Does she love a bourbon? A bourbon? Yeah. But her favourite is a gin. Yeah, gin. Okay, right. That's a bonus for you, Vaughan Smith.

I'm going to put a Carla down, just because you're a Carla and you like a gin. But she's the female equivalent of you. Okay. I'm also going to put Akala down just because you're Akala and you like a gin. But she's the female equivalent of you. Okay. I'm also going to put a Wendy. Okay. Why are the headphones doing that? I'm no closer, am I? I don't know.

Is it searching for sound because I'm going quiet in my pensive state? Maybe. I'm doing some thinking. Final question. If you were going to come around for like a smoker, like an afternoon tea or a morning tea, and mum was going to just whip something up, what would she whip up?

Oh, that is a hard one. Does she fill the baking tins with anything? She's more of a big meal person. Not a baker. Or she could like a massive roast and that sort of thing. Yeah, yeah. Okay. That is my family to a T.A.

Eat till you're full. So you now, Vaughn, have 15 seconds. I've got a list of names. You've got a list of names here. 15 seconds. Your time, Vaughn Smith, starts. Oh, hang on, Ashley. If you hear your mum's name, yell out,

Stop! That's my mum's name. Alright, here we go. Vaughan Smith, your time starts now. Ashley, Catherine, Susan, Joy, Lynn, Fiona, Renee, Carol, Jane, Lydia, Linda, Vicky, Glenda, Annette, Carla,

Wendy, Sonia, Robin, Judith... Stop, that's my mum's name. Robin. Which one? Robin. Sonia. Sonia. Yeah.

How did you do that again? Sonia. You tiny piece of unbelievable. You dilly-dally. I think I got up to Judith, didn't I, before you told me to stop? I thought your mum's name might have been Judith. Sonia. Not that there's might have been Judith. Sonia. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sonia. So Sonia, Lana, Elizabeth and Darian. See how that flies well. Ashley, you've won $100. Vaughn's done it again. Yay. Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name.

Okay, so you've got one guess. Now, you could win $200 here, Ashley. If Vaughn can, with one guess, guess your dad's name. Okay, so you've got one guess. Now, you could win $200 here, Ashley. If Vaughn can, with one guess, guess your dad's name. Sonia and... Oh. One guess, Vaughn. One guess. I feel like, is it like a Steve?

Sonia and Steve. Because you said your mum's middle name was Cherie. Yeah. Yeah. I'd forgotten about that when I wrote down Sonia. Sonia was more on the back of the musician. Like when you said ACDC, I pictured her. And no offence to the Sonia I know that's of my mum's age.

She loves a bit of Akedaka. She's a bogan. But no offence to her, she's listening. But you inspired that. And Cherie, Sonia Cherie. That's why I'm feeling like Steve. Okay, one guess,

Vaughan. What are you going to lock in? I'm locking in Steve. Sonia and Steve. Ashley, what is your dad's name? Sean. Sean. Sean, yeah, it is your dad's name? Sean. Sonia and Sean.

Oh, close with the S. Sean, yeah. It's a real S. Yeah. Close with the S. Well, I hope no one in the family has got a lisp. Well, congratulations, Ashley. $100 is yours. Thank you.

Vaughan has done it again. Another victory for you. Unbelievable. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast ZM Would I Drive a Ferrari? Yes I would

Could you afford one? No I could not Would I ever pay for one? No No No I wouldn't How much are they worth? I don't know

I know the story You're going to talk about Yeah so this guy This 43 year old He purchased a Ferrari, but he, like, had it made to order. Because apparently that's what you do when you're rich. You don't just find the colour you want.

Oh, yep, okay. Can you get, like, different colour indicators? No. What do you mean? Like, purple ones. Like, customise, yeah. No. I like purple stops.

No, no, no. Then they have to be, that's like a rule, right? They always have to be a colour. Okay, oh, right. Because you're following someone and the purple lights start flashing. That's very confusing. But think how fabulous it would be if you're turning the corner and your indicators are pink.

Cute. They'd have to know. They have to be orange, don't they? Well, I don't know. I did get very upset the other day. I'd imagine so. Well, I know on old cars, like old cars, the brake lights are the indicators as well on some of them.

So you think they're just tapping their brakes, but they're actually like going to turn. Oh, you're right. The other day I was following a van and it was a newer van and the indicator was also the brake light. Oh, that's weird. I was like, that's not good. No. Because it was red as well. They need to be orange to indicate to me that you're turning.

But anyway, this guy wasn't getting custom indicators. This is just what happens when you buy a Ferrari F8 Tributo apparently. Right. And he was driving at home and it was wet weather and... He was not driving to the conditions. Well, the conditions would have been very slow in this case

and the 43 year old after waiting 12 months for his custom Ferrari smashed it into a wall and wrote it off. and the 43-year-old, after waiting 12 months for his custom Ferrari, smashed it into a wall and rode it off. He was going far too fast. He bounced off a barrier, spun around, right rear wheel. There we go. Right rear wheel.

Yeah, that's a good vocal warm-up. Got completely ripped off and he was driving on summer tyres in heavy rain at inappropriately high speeds. Now, this isn't in New Zealand, is it? No. Oh, okay, right. No. Good. If it was in New Zealand, we would have all had to go and laugh at them. Yeah, because

the New Zealander in me, when I read a story like that, it's like, that'll teach you for being a show-off and rich. Yeah, you're a big show-off. I wonder how much one of these costs. I'm just going to put it. Do you reckon there'll be one on Trade Me? 500,000 or something? On Trade Me?

No, probably not. Do you know that there'll be one on Trade Me? How much is a Ferrari F8 Tributo 2020? The MS, I don't know what that means. $270,000 in basic trim. And then it's very easy to add tens of thousands of dollars of upgrades. The test vehicle that was driven was $360,000. That is ridiculous, eh?

Yeah. So, yeah, and he wrote it off because he was going too fast in the rain. This is why you have a nice Honda Accord that's falling to bits. Yep. Because then people will avoid, like when I'm merging, people let me in because they can see by the scrapes I've got on my car that I don't care anymore. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

Fact of the day is about combination utensils The most well known being the spork Yep, that's right A spoon and a fork is a spork What are some other recognized combination utensils? A knife. Go on. Fork.

A knife fork. That's a... A norf. No, it's called a norc. A norc. A knife with a single-time sharpened or serrated set to the anterior end of the blade. So there's a knife on one end and a fork on the other. Oh, yeah, I've got...

I had one of those on my camping one, yeah. And sometimes they'll chuck the spork on one end and the knife on the other, and that's called a sporf. Yeah, a sporf. Okay. That's called a sporf. However, there is a chalk,

which is a pointed and slightly curved tong. Yep. Which can be used like chopsticks. Yep. But the tongs are also forks. Oh, okay. Yep. Which can be used like chopsticks. Yep. But the tongs are also forks. Oh, okay. Yeah, and then there's a slight variation

on the chalk where it's like a fork at one end and then halfway down the handle it splits and you can use it like pinches. So that's a fork teamed up with a chopstick. And then imagine putting a straw through that and you've also got a straw. That would be a chalk.

But you'd have to wipe that mid-dinner, otherwise you'd have floaties in your drink. Yeah, you'd get a lot of floaties. That's probably the problematic situation there. A fork chops is used in a pair. These are basically a pair of chopsticks with a small fork and knife on the non-pointed ends of the chopsticks.

So it's like a fork. I need that. I was going to say, that was a Chopsticks with a small fork and knife on the non-pointed ends of the chopsticks. So it's like a fork. Georgia, you just. I need that. I was going to say, that was a, of someone that can't use chopsticks. Hey, no, I remember going out for dinner with my partner's parents. And they forced me. It was at a full, like, beautiful Japanese restaurant. And they forced me to use chopsticks.

And I could not. It was like a degustation. You were just stabbing things. I was stuck on the first meal for so long. Oh. Bless. Sweetie, just ask for a fork. Christchurch, huh?

South Island, huh? I now actually eat my sushi with chopsticks. I'm learning. Well done. You can actually buy like a training chopsticks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you do them? They're for kids.

Like training wheels. They have just a clip at the top and so they squeeze so you don't lose them. So you're going to squeeze them. Yeah. Yeah. It's just the finger placement. Like am I doing, I've kind of got. No, you're.

I don't even. Do you still like this? You hold it like a pen. Yeah. You hold one and you put the other one there and you. Oh, see, I don't hold my pen like that either because I've got a big knob on my finger from how I place my. That's called a knuckle.

Everybody's got those. One of the pivot points I place my... That's called a knuckle. Everybody's got those. One of the pivot points of the finger. It's like a bunion, but on my knuckle. Do you know how you can practice is get a big bag of cheese balls and then just eat them out of the bowl or burger rings or chips or whatever and just practice picking them up. No, practice picking them up because they're big. Oh, wait.

Hang on. And slightly easier to grab than slippery bits of rice and noodles. Did you move to the North Island before you saw rice for the first time? No, I didn't. What is this? Little bits of potato? Oh, I used to eat rice balls on the daily. Did you?

$5 rice balls. But just with your hand. Oh, no, just straight into the glad rats. Yeah, a classic move. A classic move. Other ones, there, just straight eating. Straight eating a glad rat. Yeah, a classic move. A classic move. Other ones, there's a spoon straw. There is. No, but it's exactly what you use when you get frozen Coke.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, that thing is officially known as a spoon straw. We talked about the sporf. We talked about the spork. There's the splayed, which is like a spork but with a blade on it. Yep. What is the fact of the day? And a spife.

There's more than one recognised combination utensil. To be fair, I didn't know that. That's today's. It's great. I love it. Fact of the day. Yep. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Day-day. get what you wish for. No. Because this isn't a fairy tale, Chloe. No. This isn't, you don't get to

control the narrative here, Chloe. I'm in control. Chloe, look at me. I'm the captain now. Chloe messages in. You've just outed Chloe, who some people are going to think, by the way, is an absolute creep after this. Well, creepy or

cute? Yeah. Creepy Chloe or cutie Chloe? Let's decide. Hi, guys. This is Chloe again. Okay, leave her name out of it. I work in customer service, and last night I served a really hot guy. He was wearing a work lanyard that had his full name on it.

We were flirting a bit, but he didn't ask me for my number or anything. Okay. Is it weird if I slide into his DMs? I don't want to be creepy, but we had great vibes, and what if he turns out to be the one? Hmm. Is Chloe creepy or cute? Because, you know, a lot of this has happened recently

with people leaving their contact details for, like, contact tracing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. People have seen them write their name and people have been messaged. There's been a couple of cases of that and people have overwhelmingly decided that's a very creepy move. If this was a guy messaging us in, would we be more

creeped out by this? Georgia, what are your thoughts? Well, I think it would be circumstantial because I entered a protein powder competition once. And I knew straight away just saying that you guys would give me a stick. But I did and I won it. Is that why you're so shredded, bro?

It is, actually. Welcome to the gun show. No, but the thing is, he picked me. And I was like, well, there are lots of people that could have been picked. I Welcome to the gun show. Gun show, yeah. No, but the thing is, is he picked me. And I was like, well, there were lots of people that could have been picked. I was at the food show. I mean, let's be honest. Okay, and then what? Did he slide?

He couldn't have picked anybody at the food show and he picked me. Did you slide in? Did he slide into the DM? Yes, and he said that I won and then followed it on with, originally I was going to. You only won because he thought you were hot. Is this how competitions work? Hot people are just romping in again?

Well, I don't know. Have you ever won a competition? I have not won a competition. So it can't be all hot people that are advantageous in these situations. Otherwise, I'd win every... So, Constangelo. Yeah. And then what he proceeded to hit on you?

Well, then he said, then I saw your Instagram and that you had a boyfriend. So he even creeped on you after he knew you had a boyfriend? Yeah. Or was it just testing the waters, mate? I think it's testing the waters. And my response was just thanks to the protein. So we want to open this up.

Now, what do you think? 0800 DANCEATM, and you can text as well, 9696. Do you think that she's okay to message this guy after stalking him, I'm guessing on Instagram, or is it creepy? Now, at the moment, the Instagram poll running is 52% get it, girl. And no, this is creepy 48%. It's a tough one as well because of where she works. Like, is it somewhere that it could be a privacy breach

or is it somewhere it's like they might be similar? No, because when he was wearing his lanyard, he was just effectively wearing his name on the outside, and she just saw his name. She could have done this walking down the street, right? I quite often wear my lanyard walking home. Haven't received a single message. And you've got your phone number on it.

And you've got a QR code. It's very easy if somebody wanted to get your details. Yeah, but they just don't. They don't. Maybe it's always turned over. Maybe it's because it's not facing. I think that's your details. Yeah, but they just don't. They don't. Maybe it's always tuned over. Maybe it's because it's not facing. I think that's the line. Yeah, that could be it.

All right, well, what do you think? Oh, 800-Diles.M9696. Do you think it's cute or creepy? What should she do? Should she go through with this? We've had a message in, though. Yeah, from someone who works in customer service whose name is Chloe.

And she, I'm trying to help her sister out. Yeah. Because if she said, maybe she had a name badge on saying Chloe and this guy with the lanyard with his name on it saw her name, but that was the only details he had. I could be telling him in a roundabout way that she's keen. Well, she thought he was cute and she's got his name because he was wearing his work lanyard.

He wasn't at work. She was at work. He was obviously just passing through, but it had the name there, so she could find him online. She wants to know if it's cute or creepy if she messages this guy. Yeah. So some text messages in on it. Somebody said, slide on in.

Send one message, and if nothing happens, leave it. But if you don't do anything, you'll always be wondering. Because you could always do that thing where you follow them on Instagram and like find photos going back no more than six months. Yeah. And then if they bite, they bite and if they don't Is that a thing? Or is that creepy?

Do people do that? I thought that was a way to get more followers. Oh yeah, people also do that too. You just be like, yeah, misread that situation. I work in a pharmacy and I dispense a prescription for a rather handsome looking character. Yeah. When I gave it out to him, we had great banter. And I knew I'd met my husband.

I got my best friend to message him and ask if he was single. Two years later, we've just bought a house and are expecting our first child in July. Go for it. See, that's the kind of love story I like to hear yeah what was the medication I wouldn't know

so much like a skin rash or something she's like what am I getting myself into alright 0800 dials at M9696

cute or creepy come back with more of your texts and calls next so we want to know if it's cute or creepy for this girl who works in

customer service to message a guy she's found on social media from his name tag. Yeah, he's wearing his work lanyard. With full name. Full name. So is it cute or creepy? And taking your calls and stories, Michelle, what do you think?

Cute or creepy? Should she do it? I think she should go for it because if it works, she's cute and they've got a really cute story to say how they got together. Yeah, it's a great origin story, isn't it? It is. But what if, Michelle, what if the message we read out was from a guy and he's like, oh, I saw this really hot girl. She came into work.

Her name's there. I might message you. What do you think? Would you find that creepy? No, because I used to work in a bar and I thought it was quite cute if guys, you know, took advantage of the opportunity of hitting on you. What's wrong with that?

I guess, why not? It's your call. Why not? Exactly. All right, Michelle, thanks for your call. Olivia, is it cute or creepy? It's creepy. Right.

I'm getting a lot of text messages on this saying If it was a guy It would be creepy But isn't it sort of On the approach Or is it just creepy That they looked you up And found a way To contact you If he's interested

He should come back To the place Where she works And he should like Ask her Oh right okay So you're saying It's all on the guy

To show interest In these situations But it's so much But then she could ask him About it Yeah right But then it's so hard Just But then she could ask him about it. Yeah, right. But then it's so hard just to be like,

you're at work, you just be like, hey, do you mind if I have your number? Yeah, but like, you should just be able to go from balls. Fair call, fair call. Okay, I mean, you can only try. And then I guess it's not as creepy as messaging him.

Exactly. Yeah. Okay, Olivia, thanks for your call. Some other text messages. Somebody said, I saw my future partner on a New Zealand Herald article. From her name I found her on Facebook and messaged her. Here we are seven years later with a

house and two kids. Oh my god. They saw what they wanted. So that's someone that you've never even met. No. That's creepier. Yeah, because you've never met, like there might be a static image of them. Yeah. But that's it. That might be in the local paper as well, right? Likeier. Yeah, because you'd never met, like there might be a static image of them. Yeah. But that's it.

That might be in the local paper as well, right? Like it's even more, you probably might know them or heard of them. I also want to know why, if you're still listening, what were they in the paper for? Yes. Was it like ram rating a pharmacy for methamphetamine ingredients or was it something good? Yes. Somebody said it's entirely independent of gender, approaching gender. It's entirely on how you make the approach. A guy could do this and it could be sweet and not creepy,

but if the guy's a creep, it's going to be creepy. And same goes for the girl. If it's a genuine sweet approach, it's not creepy. Okay. They've given me her name to Google. I can see why she was in the girl. If it's a genuine sweet approach, it's not creepy. Okay, they've given me her name to Google. I can see why she was in the article. This is just for me. This is absolutely for nobody listening. At least it's real juicy and then I'll tell you soon.

Go on. You're Googling. Oh no, I'm not going to say anything. Oh, you're not going to say what the article was about. Why didn't they just say what the article was about? I don't know. Say the name. Say the article. Anyway, the poll that we've run on Instagram has changed since we mentioned it before.

Yeah. 56%. Get it, girl. Get it, girl. I think I'm swaying that way a little bit. Like you say, it's like the person said in the text. It's all about how you approach it. What you do. Someone said it's not cute or creepy. It's immature. It's like she's a school kid asking her friends if she thinks this boy likes her.

She's not a good or a bad person. She's the same person. She just needs a push. Just be bold. Just do it. Wow, that's a lot of confidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
