Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Megan Pondcaster show. Thanks to McCafe. Download the Macca's app to get McCafe rewards today. And Vaughan, you've received some mail. I have. Some socks. I've got a pile of socks from Richard at Foreman Building Systems. I was talking about how a good pair of socks. You can't go past a good pair of socks.

He sent me some very good pair of socks. He sent me like six or seven pairs of socks. They'll go good in the gumboots. Oh my God, they're greatboot socks on the farm let. Yes, probably put a pair of them on this weekend for digging the hungy hole. Oh my God, that's right, the hungy this weekend. Digging that. I'll need a good pair of boots on and socks underneath.

I talked to mum last night. She was very upset you hadn't invited me to the hungy. I told you yesterday, you guys don't really need an invite. It's a pity invite. You don't need need an invite. It's a pity invite. You don't need an invite. You gave us a pity invite. Yeah, I actually need a message, Bev. Will Shuey still be willing to give me some steamed pud?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. She'll give you all the info you need. Just give her a WhatsApp. I was wondering if I could cook it in a cast iron pot. Because a cast iron pot's going to work as well as a fruit tin, right? But it's thicker. It would just make it like a loaf. Yeah, but it's the steam that gets it. So on the top, can you remember on the top of the

tin foil? It was tin foil. Tin foil. Okay, because... Maybe? Actually, that's a good question. Was it like a muslin? The heat distribution will be very different. In a cast iron. But that's the thing, it's getting over and under. It's the steam that cooks it and then the cast iron pot will just get hot-ish But it's more about the steam getting through it and cooking it, right? But will the steam get in in the cast iron pot? Well, I was going to cover it with some muslin cloth

Yeah, right Oh, and not have the lid? No Oh, okay then Because that would work And have it on the top of the honey basket I don't know if she'll answer She'll either be in the garden

Is that not what she uses her phone for? Hi, Carl. Hello. I'm just here with Vaughan and Megan. Vaughan wants to know how to cover the honey... Steamed pud. What do you mean cover it?

Like, so the tin... Cloth. It is cloth. So it's not tinfoil. Are you... What are you talking about? The steamed pudding. Over the top of the tin. Oh, the puddings. Yeah, tinfoil. Tinfoil. I'm not talking about? The steam pudding Over the top of the tin

Oh the puddings Yeah tinfoil Tinfoil I thought you were talking about the whole honey Does the steam get up under the tinfoil? Yeah put tinfoil on the whole honey Yeah that would be a lot of tinfoil And then you know

Get the 5G people in Where do you get your cynicism from? Okay So do you think your Citizenship from Okay So do you think It would work in a car sign Yeah Tip, tool and string Okay

Okay Tie down the string String holds it on If you want Expert advice On the hungy You ring Neil early Neil

He does the best Best ones you'll ever have. Right. Well, Vaughan might message you on WhatsApp this weekend with some questions, Mum. Be on the fly. Okay. Now, when you've filled the hole in and got the big mound of earth, everybody that's been helping put it on,

and that won't be Carl because he'll be supervising. Yeah. Cheeky. You then have a beer and you leave a little bit in the can and you put the cans upside down on top. That's the sacrifice to the gods. Oh! Like tipping one out for your homies.

Yeah. Right. And then it'll work. Otherwise it doesn't work if you don't do that. If you don't, yeah. There we go. Okay. And I think the lime red seeps in as well to the hungy and flavors it.

Possibly, possibly. And I hope he's not just doing chicken. You've got to have all the meats. Oh, yeah. There's no shortage of meats. And all the veggies, lots of kumara and pumpkin and spuds and carrots.

Carrots and the kumara and hungia are just amazing. What cuts of the meat do you use? Or did Neil use? I can't hear. I'm in the supermarket. Are you in Pack and Save? Yep.

Does your Friday shop on Pack and Save? You ask me what cuts of meat. Well, what cuts of meat do you use? Okay, leg of lamb. Yep. Piece of pork and heaps of chooks. Okay, I love chooks. So just buy those chooks.

The whole chooks. In the supermarket. Yep. You know So just buy those chooks. The whole chooks? In the supermarket. Yeah. You know, a frozen chook with a bit of stuffing already in it. But you've got to thaw them out before you put them in though, don't you? Absolutely. Yeah. Otherwise they won't cook.

Yeah, so do all the meats, but usually just one piece of lamb. I mean, it's real expensive. Yeah. And one piece of pork and lots of chuck. Okay. All right. Thank you. And also cabbage leaves.

Yes. Line the basket with cabbage leaves. Yes, I've heard that. You don't eat any of the cabbage, do you? You just use it for lining. No, no. Yeah. No.

Madness. And make sure you buy custard for the steam pods. Of course. Of course. You've got to buy the custard and the vanilla ice cream. Yes. Nice. All go.

Make it go the distance. Yeah, yeah. Okay, no, that's good. That's good. There we go. Well, there you go. Some white person advice for your hungy. Fletchforn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. I think I've got, if you turn up my aux cord, I think I've got The intro we required Oh okay For our quarterly segment Gay Penguins Okay Gay Penguins

That was right Megan picked it It was the Simpsons thing It was yeah I feel like They'll have 21st century Fox will have

Issues with us using that Oh Disney Disney now Disney now You're on watch You're on watch. You're on watch. They'll stop you watching The Mandalorian.

Well, no, we don't want that. That's a week away. How dare they, yeah. So these gay penguins I'm going to talk about are a pair of male gay penguins at a Dutch zoo. Now, I don't believe we've covered these particular gay penguins before. We've talked about many a gay penguin. Yeah, many aquariums around the world have them. Yeah, there was the Sydney gay penguin couple, Sven and Magic.

They actually nabbed a fertilised egg and hatched it and raised it. And guess what? What? A gay couple had a baby and the world didn't explode. Fascinating. Yeah, I know. We're almost like the Pope will be on board soon. Never. So these penguins nabbed an entire nest at a Dutch zoo.

Okay. They've been apparently showing the signs of being desperate to be parents for quite some time. So they've managed to nab an egg. Oh, this starts against the thing I've got to do the whole gay penguins

again and then carry on with the story. And they gave each other special pebbles. Now that's how penguins know it's for real. It's for life. They gift each other

a very special pebble. Because at Kelly Tarleton's don't they have to put a whole bunch of pebbles in when they're're mating and stuff because they give each other pebbles? Yeah. Which people think is really sweet

and it's like an engagement ring, but it may be more like prostitution. They might be like paying. Just you to take the romance out of that. Well, you know, it's what monkeys did. The first time a tribe of monkeys worked out about currency, the first thing they did was pay each other for sex. Pretty good stuff, the old monkeys.

But the problem is the nest that they stole from another couple who were lesbian penguins. Oh, okay, right. They're unfertilised eggs. Right. So that's where your issue arises because the lesbian couple had the eggs because they can have the eggs, but then the male couple nabbed the eggs, but they are unfertilised.

So jokes on them. They could have worked together. Yeah. The lesbian couple could have had a couple of eggs. The males could have fertilised them, and then they could have split the eggs. I mean, but it's hard to get this across to penguins because they don't speak English. They speak Dutch because they're in Holland, so you can speak Dutch. Do they get lesbian penguins that just sit on eggs

forever? Yeah, and they're not fertilised and they just sit on them. I guess eventually would they go rotten? They would, right? Yeah. Oh, that's sad. Yeah, but the gay penguins. Are you going to do your outro? Oh, do I do the outro?

I think you have to do the outro, yeah. Oh, okay, hold on. Oh, why is that not playing? Oh, did I do the outro too? I think you have to do the outro, yeah. Oh, okay. Hold on. Yep. Oh, why is that not playing? Oh, did I mute it? Gay penguins! It's a great segment. I love it.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. There may be a way to preserving your healthy brain and you're not going to like it. It's not a pill. And they've said the good thing about this is that it hardly costs anything and you don't have to worry about side effects.

Right. Is it Omega-3s, fish pills? No, because they cost something. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, this doesn't cost anything. You get a good guilt-free fish juice. Okay.

It is social engagement. With who? People. How many of them? So they looked into like preserving brains and grey matter and that kind of stuff. And it is a great way to preserve the grey matter by socialising.

But that's why people move into retirement villages and stuff, eh? Because otherwise they could just be lonely by themselves. Isn't it lonely? Isn't loneliness, didn't you say earlier this week, loneliness was as detrimental to your health as how many ciggies a day? Yeah, it was a few. Yeah, yeah.

It could be compared to a very unhealthy smoking habit. Yeah. And I guess it's on the brain, right? Because, yeah, if you're by yourself, you start talking to yourself. Yeah, right. So you shouldn't, like, go and build an eco-cabin in the middle of the woods, like a doomsday prepper shelter for the end of the world by yourself. Yeah, often their mental health has been compromised before the bunker starts.

Yeah, right. So, yeah, just social engagement, socialising. It doesn't say how many people or for how long. It leads to having more grey matter in regions of the brain tied to dementia. But see, I reckon if I was in an old folks home, I'd just hide from the other old folks just to avoid inane chat.

Yeah. About the weather and what's for dinner and last night's dinner. But you're assuming that you're like smarter than all of them. You might be up for the inane chat by this stage. I doubt it.

I highly doubt it. There was a thing on the news earlier this week where they've linked some protein that our body produces when we get really cold to staving off dementia. Yeah, remember I told you about this

with the cold showers. Yeah, Will Wim Hof, whatever his name is, he's on to something. So they did a test of a bunch of people at random and then people who specifically did the cold winter,

cold midwinter swimming regularly and they had way more of the protein that keeps the brain healthier. On that, your brain needs some work. You just turned your microphone off and then tried to start talking into it. You would say that New Zealand has no dementia because of its terrible insulated houses.

We're always cold. No, because you die early of cold related. This is where you're cold, really cold, and then not cold. Not just like living your life exposed to damp coldness. Executive Intern Agnes, speaking of cold showers, you went for your first swim in the cold, icy, cold ocean yesterday. Good Lord. Oh, we can't hear you. Producer Jared's away, so we're working out the buttons here.

We'll just wait. This cold swim didn't do much for us. There she is. Hello, good morning, everyone. She's doing two people's jobs. What made you go for an icy cold swim yesterday? Stress. I might need to head off now, actually.

The fact that you live next to all these COVID hot spots that are popping up. Yeah, look. That too? Yeah, there's no surfaces in the ocean, so I just went on in. What a great day. Beautiful, actually. Yeah, almost poetic. They went on in Yeah That was That was beautiful actually Yeah Almost poetic Yeah

Social distancing Yeah Thank you so much I did my Wim Hof My Did you? Did you go out into the water And do your Wim Hof?

Did you actually do that? Yeah Because it was so cold How long were you in the ocean for? Actually about eight minutes Wow Wow Okay

I tell you that Wim Hof technique Really works Were you expecting to be icy cold? Because I went for a swim A few weeks back Actually, about eight minutes. Wow. Wow, okay. I tell you, that Wim Hof technique really works. Were you expecting it to be icy cold? Because I went for a swim a few weeks back at Papamoa, and I was expecting it to be, like, ice. And so it wasn't as bad as I expected. But I was in eight minutes. I was in.

I'm sorry, did you get a Papamoa beach house and not tell us? No, we went in and saw friends that have a Papamoa beach house that didn't tell us. Oh. Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, are you still having dreams about Harry Styles?

I haven't had one. I forgot to tell you. We got married. Oh, you said you have had one. That was a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if we're still together. Did he still find it repulsive to touch you? I don't think we kissed yet.

Were you his beard? His beard? His beard. What do you mean? You mean gay dudes marry women so it looks like they're straight to everybody on the outside. Wait, is this another segment of gay penguins? That's called being a beard. Gay penguins are unashamedly gay penguins.

Right, okay. I'll be his beard. I'm okay with that. Just anything to be close to him. Yeah. From the oily ZM think tank, this is the top six. Well, we might be back in mask

territory. This whole thing, everyone, just be safe this weekend out there. On the roads, but also for COVID-related stuff. And heck, if you're feeling sick, stay at home. Get a COVID test.

Don't go to the pub. Don't go. No. That's a bad idea of places to go. And use the contract tracer codes, the QR codes.

Yes. Because I mean, I'll be the first to admit I slipped out of that habit. Yeah. We all did. We stole the stats. But I mean,

I was doing it everywhere I went yesterday and it's not a... It's so hard. It's so easy. It's easy. When the minute you see them, you're like, oh, that's right, I was doing it everywhere I went yesterday and it's not a It's so hard. It's so easy. It's easy. The minute you see them, you're like, oh, that's right, I've got to scan that. So there are bacon and chicken scented masks.

Is it like chewing gum? So you put it, like, you know, you chew it for a bit and then it goes, it would wear out? It would taste funny and go, maybe. I don't know. Because it would just be a spray they spray on them, right? Like a fragrance. Yeah, right. So apparently, yeah, you

buy them pre-scented, so it's not like you slip in a scented panel and you can change. You kind of buy the bacon scented one and it smells like bacon until it runs out. The place that is making these has been making lots of different sorts of masks. They did try a Make America Great again, just to purely monetize the situation

by the sounds of things, but they're not selling that well. Oh, no. Of course they wouldn't. Trump supporters are all like anti-mask. Nah. Oh, yeah. Like, they tried, but very small market.

Yeah. So I've got the top six realistically scented face masks. Okay. Number six, the face mask that smells like you just walked past a bunch of teenagers who have put on too much Impulse or Lynx. Why'd you point at Mountie? Mountie's got a lovely Impulse. What's your scented?

It's not Impulse. She gets really angry. Does she get really angry? It smells like Impulse in here. It's not Impulse. It's your scented... It's not Impulse. She gets really angry. Does she get really angry? It's not Impulse. It's $30 a bottle. What is it? Impulse isn't. I don't remember the name. Vanillary scented though, right?

It's beautiful. Yeah. Okay. Impulse. Why are you saying it's Impulse? Defamation. Slander. It is defamation. Slander. Number five on the list of the top six realistic scented mask smells. Mystery car engine problem smell. Is that coming from our car?

Is that burn? It's almost burning, but it's maybe just a hot engine. Should it smell like that? Is that the car in front of us? Should we be worried about that? The engine light's not on. Has the engine light been on? Handbrake's not on.

It's not the handbrake. God, that was my car when I last had a car every time. I love the smell. Leave the handbrake on. Or the smell. Just the smell. And the random breakdowns for no reason. What's that?

Yeah. What's that? Yeah. What's that? Number three on the list of the, no, number four, sorry, on the list of the

top six realistic scented mask smells. Mystery fart smell. Oh, yeah. Who did that? How long has that been around for?

It's hard to tell. It may have been lingering, especially if it's Your farts have gotten better. Thank you. You haven't been farting? I've been practising. Have you been lowering the protein, maybe?

No. Less broccoli? Hey, we haven't had any, like, stinky ones from you for a while now. Maybe you've toned down your meat intake. That's definitely not the case. I don't know. Okay. Are you all right? What's happened? I feel like... Your body's just given case. I don't know. Okay. Are you all right?

What's happening? I feel like your body's just given up. I'm tired. Was that just a general inquiry as to how I am? Yeah. Or was that specifically fire related? Number three on the list of the top six realistic scented mask smells. Dry saliva.

Ever smelt your own dry saliva? Oh, yeah. It's disgusting. Ever smelt it? How would I have smelt it? Oh, dry saliva. Ever smelt your own dry saliva? Oh, yeah, it's disgusting. Ever smelt it? How would I have smelt it? Oh, my God. I'm so pleased to be here for the first time. So lick your, like, what, like your hand? If you put perfume on your wrist, it's not going to work there.

Lick the back of your hand. Lick, lick. Like, saliva it up. Saliva it right up. Saliva it up. Now let it dry. Blow on it? Because you blow on it for speed?

I think if you blow on it, you're often blowing away some of the scent. Yeah, okay. Right. Okay. And it might not be that bad because it's the start of the day and you've brushed your teeth. Have you had a coffee? How have you stumbled upon this? Oh, my God.

This is how I found out. This is how you find out how bad your breath smells. Okay, now sniff the back of your hand. It's not quite dry. Is that my breath? Yeah. No. You do it again at the back of your hand. It's not quite dry. Is that my breath? Yeah. No. You do it again at the end of the day, like the long, just before you brush your teeth

again, do it. That's what it must be like for Mr. Toyboy to kiss you. Oh. Yeah, I know. He puts up with that. That's not accurate, is it? Well, it's, where else does the smell come from? It's off your tongue and your tongue is-

In your mouth. A large surface in your mouth that breath passes across it. It's gross, eh? It's so gross. Yeah, because if you've ever like licked your... Yeah, and then you go, oh my God. Yeah, it's a good way to test.

It works better than going... Breathing into your hands and then trying to sniff it. Because I don't think you've got enough time to rejig the old set. Yeah. I love that we think you've got enough time to rejig the old set. Yeah. I love that we were there for that first. That's so great. I can't believe you knew

to do that. Oh, I haven't done that for ages, but when I first learnt it, I did it all the time. I was like, how am I going? Eric.

Oh, poo nasty. And it's like, literally, when did you brush your teeth? Yeah, this morning before work. Yeah. Yeah, and then... And it's already that bad.

Wow. That's why you've got to brush your tongue. Give the tongue a few scrapes. Yep. Mouth wash. Grim. You're a manky. Number two on the list.

I know, what are we up to? Hold on. Yeah, number two on the list of the top six... God, you're having trouble counting today. I changed some of the numbers around. When I do that, it's a problem. Number two on the list of the top six realistic scented masks. Smoke.

Can you smell smoke? Is that in their house? Is their house on fire? Did you leave the oven on? Is something on fire? No. Someone miles away having a fire. Okay. That'd be great. You could just put a rack over a fire and just let the actual burning seep in. Mind you, last time we said

can you smell smoke, the studio was on fire. That was true. Two weeks ago. RIP Tauranga smoke, the studio was on fire. Well, that was true. That was true. Two weeks ago. RIP Tauranga Studio. It was two weeks ago. Oh, that's right. And number one on the list of the top six realistic scented masks. This one I'd be totally down for.

It's the scent of someone somewhere cooking garlic and onions in a hot pan. Can you smell that from a mile off? Yeah. I can smell like when our neighbours are doing it, I'm like... Garlic, onions. I'd rather have a warm cookie smell mask. That'd be legit. Then you'd constantly be eating cookies. Oh, you're true.

No, good for you. But the garlic and onions, it's not bad for you. You can whack that in a bit of bread with a sausage and some sauce. You got yourself a snag. That is today's Top 6. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. 8 o'clock this morning, the long weekend group toot returns. Make sure you join us.

And if you're in the car, get ready to toot. This is absolute madness. A woman went on, and by all accounts, it sounds like their first date. Okay. With a guy, and she wanted to test his generosity, whether he was going to be a generous partner in life. Did she conveniently forget her card, EFOS credit card? That and some more. Okay.

She brought 23 of her family on the date. What? No. Of her friends and family. So he turns up. That's a whole restaurant. Yeah, it was a whole table full of people. And the generosity aspect came in when she expected him to pay for everyone.

Oh, she is out of this world. What is she absolutely taking the mickey? What the hell? There's some people on social media that were like, you know what? He should have. But it's like, do you actually want to just... Absolute freeloaders? 23 family members that were there found a thread and commented,

yeah, you actually should have actually, because I had the steak and I wouldn't have a phone you had to pay. And one guy said, usually the woman would bring one or two friends in case it gets awkward. We as gentlemen should pay. If the woman brings seven or eight people though, you should leave. Seven or eight? But even if you brought like a bunch of friends,

you wouldn't expect them to pay, surely? No, hell no. So this is in China and she brought the whole family. They racked up a bill at 2,200 and something pounds. So that's close to like $5,000, right? Yes, four or 5,000. Yeah, New Zealand. Wow. And when he found

out how much the bill had equated to, he ran off. He took off. My man. My man. Skiddly D. I'm out. I would have just paid for my bit on the slide when everyone was busy and not looking and just left out the back door. If I turned up and there was 23 family members there, halfway through you'd just be like, oh, I have to leave. I just wouldn't have even sat down. That would put me off in the first place.

Who are these people? This is my family. Enjoy your meal. With your family. Unless they were an absolute 11 out of 10, then you'd probably pay for all 23, right? Nah. Still wouldn't? I'd be happy with a seven that didn't expect it. Yeah, but what if it was yum cha?

You'd stay for the whole thing. You'd love a yum cha. I'm not paying for that big a family of yum cha. That's madness. That'd be a lot of money. You already pay for a family of four at yum cha. Yeah, I know. We eat and we pay.

Well, New Zealanders, they move. They've got arms and legs. They move. They go all over. They assist with the moving. Some New Zealanders don't have all of their arms and legs. But they can move too. They can move too.

Yeah. Be it with legs, like wheelchairs. Yep. Everybody moves. I shouldn't say everybody moves. Some people don't move. But New Zealanders... What are you doing? I was trying to get onto this in a seamless fashion.

There's been a list revealed of the regions New Zealanders I guess you'd say are least likely to move to because they're not getting the growth, the numbers. So it's bad news unfortunately for the West Coast. I was about to say Westport. the growth, the numbers. So it's bad news, unfortunately, for the West Coast. I was about to say Westport. Yeah. It's a beautiful part of the country.

Beautiful. Yeah. We knew it was beautiful, but I hear sometimes it can rain for like a month straight. Yeah, it can get a bit grey. Yeah. Is that why it's called Grey Mouth? Maybe.

Or is that the mouth of a grey river? Yeah, no, I don't think it is. The reason it's called Grey Mouth. Was that named after somebody called... Grey Mouth seems like an old Englishy name, eh? Yeah, no, I don't think it is. Was that named after somebody called... Grey mouth seems like an old Englishy name, eh? I would have called this place Grey Mouth after old Barry Grey Mouth.

Ah, this place reminds me of old Barry. But yeah, it can be very rugged. Right. You know, with the wind and rain. Oh, it's at the mouth of the grey river. Yeah, there we go. There you go. Okay.

But the river is probably called grey because it was a bit grey. Right. Out of all of the population growth in New Zealand, that's the least. Yes. But it did still grow. It grew by 0.2%. Okay. But our next lowest was Southland at 1.1%.

Gizzy at 1.2%, which surprises me. Yeah, because the weather's great there. Yeah, great spot. Beautiful. And then you can go all the way over Christmas, New Year, and hire your house out to some R&V youth who trash it. No, no, no, no. Hire the R&V youth.

Hire it to the old people who are still going to R&V because they're cool. They'd love to go home and just have a quiet vino. They're responsible, and they just want to have a quiet wine at the end of it all, not just like come home and just shit on the floor. The Yopro's, they're over camping. Yes.

They're above camping. Yeah. They're too good for camping. Taranaki at 1.4% growth. Surprises me. 1.4. Okay. Well, it's lovely.

I mean, I'm from there. I'm going to say nice things, aren't I? And Manawatu Honganui at 1.5. Who had the most? Does it say who had the most? You know who will have the most? All the places where all the boomers are moving to to retire, like Nelson, Tauranga. Yeah.

Bingo. Sunshine. They have plenty had the biggest population increase at 2.8%, which is pretty massive if you consider for every 100 people that live there, another 2.8 name. Yeah, did you see traffic for every 100 people that live there, another 2.8. Yeah. Right. Yeah, did you see traffic last time we were there?

Oh, yeah, traffic. It's always like that. Oh, don't bloody talk to people about traffic. Oh, we were coming in on a Friday and they were like, well, we'll stop you there. Stop right now. I don't know where this story's going. You got caught in traffic, didn't you? I was like, oh yeah, okay,

cool. Yep, I did, I did, I did. I'll give you that. And then Auckland just behind that.

So, apparently we're over 5 million and 84,000 now. Oh, okay. Yeah. Despite the fact

that this year you would say had, you know, migration has almost ground to a halt in the last six months. Yeah, but a lot of people come at home as well. Oh, that's true.

That's true. But then a lot of people leaving. Yep. Go back to their home countries. Or balances out, I guess. Or not. I really don't know. I'm not.

I'm going to stop myself now. I'm not at all qualified to say that if it balances itself out or not. I actually have no idea. I shouldn't have said it. It was factually incorrect. It was fake news. Well, a story from the Netherlands. A Dutch researcher.

Now, I will asterisk this by saying that the White House have denied this and Twitter have said there's no evidence of this hack. But a Dutch researcher is claiming that he was able, on the fifth attempt, to log into President Trump, Donald Trump's Twitter account, using the password MAGA2020! Exclamation mark. Wow. Yes. All lowercase. Now, he said there was no two-step authentication, two-factor authentication.

You know, everybody should have that so that if somebody tries to log onto your account, it'll text a password or email you a password. So he got into his Twitter account. Yeah, so he claims he didn't do anything. He claims that he then tweeted to try to get the White House or any kind of secret service to pay attention, to alert them to the security breach.

Yeah. And he says that the secret service did get in touch in a day, a day later, and thank him for drawing their attention to this. And he now says that there's two-factor authentication on the account. MAGA 2020. Yeah. It was the password. MAGA. Did he-A 2020. Yeah. Was the password. MAGA.

How many, did he say how many guesses he had before he got it right? Five. That was his fifth one. Right. Oh, did he say what his first four were? No, he's also, this is a guy that says he was able to do the same thing in 2026, sorry, 2016. When he, in the future, yeah.

When he used you're fired as a password. As Donald Trump's password. Which, I mean, this is all believable. This is all believable. But yeah, I mean, like I said, the White House have denied it. But I mean, it's something that could completely be true. Because now it's just made it 2020, 1, 2, 3, 4. He's just jammed a couple of on the end.

And he's probably got a password notebook like every boomer does. Yeah. So the guy didn't tweet anything, but you definitely have been a look around. Yeah, he said he was able to get into what's like being able to log in. Everything's accessible. All the DMs, everything. You'd have it for your day, eh? Surely if he got in, he did some screen caps of some DMs.

You'd hope so. Surely he's got this cache now of goodies that he's just ready to drop. But it's, I mean, yeah. It's right up there with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 really, isn't it? Yeah. Well, I looked up the most common passwords of 2020 this year. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is number one. It's still number one.

There's no world champion that's held the title longer than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And how many times have you been told, don't use that? Pretty mad considering most passwords need to be eight now. Eight letters, yeah. Need to be eight digits. And they need to include a capital, a symbol. Well, QWERTY's in there, so that doesn't fit the eight letters. Because that's just the same across the top there.

Password, people are still just using password. Why? The word nothing, secret, password one. Because that's People are still just using password. What? Why? The word nothing. Secret. Password one. Because that's because it needs a new rule. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to change it up.

Admin. Those are just people who can't be bothered changing it. Admin, admin. That's what most routers are. Username admin. Password admin. And I love you. Wow.

Some of the most common. So don't use any of those. I know someone that must have pissed someone off one day on like a message board or commenting on something and they hacked their entire life. Just by guessing the password. Just by somehow getting in because they didn't have like, I think they had an all right password,

but they didn't have like two factor or any of that kind of stuff. And so now this person uses like huge 30, you know, and saves their password with a password app. Have you done that thing? Yeah, the separate apps are a great idea. Have you done that thing on your phone where you're setting up a new account for something

and your iPhone, and Samsung's probably do it as well, recommend you a password? Yeah. And it's always like 82 characters long. And you're like, whoa, I tried to do that for something. Like I was going to buy something online and it's like set up an account. I was like, blah, blah, blah. I'll probably never come back here.

And if I do, I'll just do password reset. And it was like, recommend your password. I was like, yeah, sure. And it was like, boom. And it was like, cannot accept this password. Too long. Really? So those don't always work either.

So there must be limits of the length of passwords as well. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. Well, we. Okay. Yeah. Well, we thought we'd take some calls this morning. 0800 DARS at M and 9696. Has anybody ever guessed your password? Has anyone ever got into...

I remember the look on Sade's dad's face when we were talking about passwords or something and I said I could probably guess yours in a few and I think I got it on like the third go. Not typing it, just saying it to him. Was it one of the ones on this list? No, no, it was like, if you knew him, it wouldn't take you too long.

That's the sort of situation. When I guessed your password into this system here, Fletch. To be fair, I think that's everyone's password and they just set that up. No, it used to be cats. It used to be cats. It used to be cats. Well, this isn't, yeah, who's going to log on to this?

Studio computer. You went around and Jared was trying to log into it and I was like, try this and it worked. It's easy. I mean, for all of my stuff, I'll use, you know, longer passwords and like definitely not anything on the top 10 list of easiest guests. No, I'm pleased to say I've never had a password in that top 10 list. Yeah. So maybe it was your PIN number.

Somebody guessed your FPOS PIN number. But yeah, your password or your PIN. What did someone guess? Maybe they got into it. Maybe it was an ex or like some or a friend that was like trying to. Yeah, because they might have known it. You might have changed it a little bit, but they worked out. All you did was put a one on the end.

Or maybe you've done this as well and guessed somebody's password, like an ex or a boyfriend or... Got the dirt. Great to have trust in these people. 0800-DARLS-AT-M, give us a call, 9696 to text. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. The long weekend group toot is not far away,

eight o'clock for all the excitement. God, it just doesn't seem real, does it? But it's here. It's finally here. After that big winter hiatus. Yeah. Now, talking about a news story, Donald Trump's password has apparently been guessed

by a Dutch researcher, Maga2020! And this man was able to get into his Twitter account. It's good to know the president of the USA doesn't have two-factor authentication turned on. Yeah, the leader of the free world. Yeah, probably didn't. Famously, didn't he do it on a really easy-to-hack phone as well when he was first president?

Wasn't he on a phone that, like... Yeah. You didn't actually ever need to install an app. You just needed to click a link and you could, like, totally spy on everything he did on his phone. Oh, my God. So, we want to know uh if anybody's ever guessed your password uh monique what happened um my ex guessed my flyby password

two years after we broke up and spent all my points at all aiming no what you can do that yeah 1500 points would take a long time to do all You worked so hard. All of them. I know. But what do you do with 1,500 points? Is that even enough for a stick blender? I don't even know how. You can buy quite a lot. I've bought some good pans off there. Some pans?

I actually need a new pan, Monique, because my non-scratch. Monique would love to have you out, but her boyfriend robbed her. But no, he stole them all and he took over my account and they couldn't do anything because he got my password. You can't even say he stole from you and he took over my account and they couldn't do anything because he got my password. Wait, so you can't even say like he stole from you really? Because it's points, not cash. So I had to create a whole new account and start again. Wait, so yeah, because you can't. Could you go to the police or anything?

Oh no, I'm not going to go by my flyby points. I thought I'd just let it go. It's just the principle of the madam and me. 100%. I know,, move on, mate. I'd say see you in hell. Did you ever get some new pants? No, but I'm almost there now. I've got a mortgage, so I now have lots of points to get.

So we're good. I can get my new pants. Yes, I'm so excited for you to get new pants, Monique. Could you see what he spent the points on? Oh, I don't know. Just some stupid stuff at Noleemang. I didn't even bother looking. I was so annoyed.

I just sent him an angry message and then blocked his number again. Wow, I would have burned his house down. Thanks, Manig. Thomas, you guessed your brother's password. Yeah, I hope to God he's not listening right now. Right, because, I mean, that is breaking the law, Thomas. It was all for fun.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, we'll dismiss this case. Yeah, we'll dismiss this case. Your Honour, it was all for fun. Come on, Your Honour. Why did you guess your brother's password? Oh, he was actually jumping out of a car to vote and I was in the car with my cousin and my sister

and we were just like, oh yeah, sure, why not? Oh, he was actually jumping out of the car to vote. And I was in the car with my cousin and my sister. And we were just like, oh, yeah, sure, why not? And then once we opened it, all of his dirty ass Tinder messages were opened. And we instantly regretted it. Oh, yeah, okay, you learnt the hard way. Yeah, you did brilliant, Thomas. Thanks, you're cool. Bryony, did you have your email hacked? Yeah, so it was done kind of a weird way. Bryony, did you have your email hacked? Yeah.

So it was done kind of a weird way. So this random guy, I was year seven, so I would have been like 11 or something. Yeah. And it's when we sort of just got Facebook. And he managed to hack into my Gmail by guessing the security question and then changed my Facebook password from there. Yeah. You didn't think it was suspicious when this random guy at school was like, hey, what was

your first pet's name? And like, what city was your mum born in? That's why if you're ever on a first date and someone's like, well, what's the name of the street you grew up on? Yeah. And your mum's maiden name. You're like, no. That should be some giant red flags right there. Wow. What's your favourite colour? Who was your childhood

hero? Did you have one of those email addresses like roxybabe at gmail.com? Yeah, it was. It was pretty cringe. But I'm happy it happened because it's changed now. Okay.

What was it, Bryony? It was Bry-nay. Like, B-R-Y-N-A-Y. Like, XOXO. Bry-nay. Bry-nay. Brynay. Yeah, wow. Pretty cringe.

That's so great. XOXO. Brynay. XOXO. Have a great day. Somebody said, my parents are shockers. They got locked out of their accounts.

I managed to guess their passwords. They'd forgotten, but it was just literally our three kids' names. But mum had forgotten it. Actually, this is why boomers need a password diary. But that's why this Donald Trump thing's believable. Because he is 70, what, 76? Yeah.

74? Yeah. I guessed my boyfriend's Snapchat password real randomly one day. Yeah, right. But I found out he was cheating on me with my best friend, Bombshell. Oh, wow. I had no idea. He's my ex now. I'm awesome at guessing passwords.

I've done it to three or four people in my family. My sister was a particularly easy one. She was just into horses, so... Figure that one out for yourself. It was just horses. You should have put hobbies and stuff though, eh? Like mine's nothing to, you'd never guess it.

Yeah, nah. It's so random. Yeah, you've got to go random. You don't go. It's not an invitation. You don't do kids' names. You don't do, yeah. Yeah.

Boyfriends' names. Nothing like that. But anyway, lots of people guessing passwords. 723, the long weekend group tutors coming up at 8 o'clock. But next. I overheard a conversation my eight-year-old had. It was very interesting. Okay.

Maybe better next. Courtney's messaging, practising the Long Weekend Group Tute in the Vic Tunnel in Wellington. Successfully? I'm sure I've... That's a hotbed for Long Weekend Group Tuting in the Vic Tunnel. It's coming up, the Long Weekend weekend group tour at 8 o'clock. Yesterday I was out in the garden.

I was just doing some light gardening. Yep, a little bit of weed pulling. Pottering, I think you call that. It was the exact pottering. You broke your tool, your weed tool. Oh, yeah. Who do I talk to about that? You were so jazzed about that.

I was so jazzed about this weed tool. You recommended it to my mum. I did. You said, you like, stab this thing into the ground and then when you like, rock it back, it grips the long-rooted weed at the base and it pulls the whole weed root out. And you said to my mum, you've got to get one there.

Great for the back. Saves the back, Bev. That's what I said, but I've broken it. I don't know if I was being too aggressive or not. Well, I hope Bev's not gone out and bought one. No. I've seen more bougie looking ones online i think you should go for the bougie one for christmas christmas the bougie weed puller

okay um but anyway yeah i was doing some pottering and indy my daughter was out there and our neighbor um ray he was out in his paddock and he came out to feed the sheep and indy indy likes going to race place because he's got like alpacas and there was baby goats and he's got pigs and Muscovy ducks and chickens. Oh, he's got better animals than you. He's got a huge range of animals. So Indy's always over there having a nose. And she's eight.

Yeah. Yeah. And I was just in the garden and so she started chatting to him and I was like listening to the conversation and it was so funny. She talked to him like an old mate like she was like oh how's it

like how are you yeah good good and oh you're feeding the sheep some hay yeah yeah oh yeah what happened to that there was a death

on the farm on Ray's farm oh what happened with that calf oh yeah well yeah and he's like oh yeah that's interesting and I was like

just like listening to two 40 year old men have a chat yeah and she was like, oh, yeah, that's interesting. And I was like, just like listening to two 40-year-old men have a chat. And she was like, oh, you know, how are the ducklings? Because one of the Muscovy ducks. Yeah, yeah, they're good. Yeah, they're good. Oh, yeah, because those poo kickers will get them, won't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was all this, yeah, yeah, oh, mate chat. Was she just repeating stuff she's heard you say? Maybe. I don't know. But then I was expecting to, like, look over and see her leaning against the fence like a ciggy. A ciggy or like a Swapacrate bottle in one of those big old real rural farmer hats. Being like, yeah, well, you know, they've been saying rain all week. I'm pretty sure she said that as well.

They've been saying rain all week. But, you know, nothing. Can't trust the weather, man. Anyway, better go outside. The missus has probably got a meatloaf all. Struggle my way through that, eh? And she's eight. And that always the way.

And didn't you hit her up about it? I said, what was going on over there? And she's like, oh, we were just having a conversation. I was like, you're like an old man. And she's like, oh, it's just how Gigi talks to people. So that's how my dad, her grandad, talks to people. So she just must assume

that's how everybody talks when you're talking to farmers. Just old mate. So good. Mum's message, apparently she forgot, she'd forgotten about the weed tool. So that could be her. Hold fire then, Bev. Hold fire. Might be getting you a better Fletch will get you one for Christmas. Might be getting you a better one. Maybe I was just being too rough.

Maybe I was ripped shit and bust. No, Bev, this is the best. Don't, no. No, she'll get a mid-range one. I'm not going to go too expensive. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

Megan, can you not order coffee, please? Um, excuse me. I was, it took ages because you were faffing about with your oat milk order. Oh my God, yes. That needs to be discussed. That needs to be discussed. Um, guys, sometimes milk hurts my delicate tum-tums. You have a big bowl of yogurt for breakfast.

With more milk in it. It has lactose. Exactly. And you drink moccasinas. You drink the milkiest possible coffee there is. I had an oat one and it was real yum. And so I've carried on. Man, please have an oat milk moccacino with extra marshmallows.

But I'm not the queen. When he announced that, when he just said, I'll have an oat milk moccacino, it was like the studio went... And you just felt like a vacuum Like an explosion in space You know when on a space shuttle It's like And then it goes

And the shockwave goes out And that's when it's like I was like I want a oatmeal It's just amazing That I get so much shit From everything I do on this show You're getting a coconut milk decaf.

I mean, decaf I can understand because you're al preganante. Coconut milk tastes yum. I shan't be shamed when he's drinking oat milk. Anyway. Just pour it hot and black. Pour it hot and black into a cup for me, thanks. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast.

ZM. Well, it's a long weekend and that means a lot of beef, thanks. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, it's a long weekend and that means a lot of binging. And we thought we'd run through some of the newest shows. Oh, you mean shows. Shows or movies or some of the things

that we're loving at the moment. Yeah. If you're looking for something to stream this weekend. Shall I start? Yeah. I'm still writing my list. I've got a long list.

You don't... We were just going to... We were just going to say, we were just going to say, you're doing a... You've got a long list. You don't... We were just going to... We were just going to say, we were just going to say, you're doing a... You've got a list. Dominate the whole thing. Launching globally Friday the 23rd of October today,

but I'm thinking either we'll get this later today, New Zealand time, or tomorrow, the new Borat movie will be on Amazon Prime. 14 years ago I released a movie film which brought great shame to Kazakhstan. But now I was instructed

to return to Yankee land to carry out secret mission. I go to America! Apparently Rolling Stone have just given this 4.5 out of 5. I go to America! Apparently, Rolling Stone have just given this 4.5 out of 5. The news broke yesterday that Rudy Giuliani is the high-profile figure. This is Donald Trump's most trusted lawyer. He was caught on camera tucking his shirt in to his pants. Putting his hand down his pants, yeah.

With Borat's fictional 15-year-old daughter in the room, in the hotel room. And he's saying, I was just tucking my shirt back enough to take the microphone off and everyone was like, on a bed after you've been lightly touching. Lying down as well. So yeah, wow, that's going to be something. People saying, could this save democracy? Could Borat save democracy in the US? Imagine if he did.

Wouldn't that be something? Imagine. Also, loving Succession. I know I'm late to the Succession party. That't that be something? Imagine. Also, Loving Succession. I know I'm late to the Succession party. That's on streaming on Neon. Very late. Two seasons were done by the time. I've all caught up now.

Great show. So good, eh? What would you even compare it to? Someone said, oh, liken it to something for me. And I was like, I don't know. It's kind of loosely based on, it's about a rich media family. Yeah, it's kind of based on the Murdoch family, loosely. Okay.

But, so the guy that wrote it has written a bunch of really good English TV. He helped on Veep. He did In the Thick of It. He's done a great amount. Yeah. And produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great show.

Succession's great. The shows I'm going to be binging, well, the show, but there's multiple episodes. My next guest needs no introduction. It's the David Letterman interviews. He always has a huge guest on. And he always manages to sit down and have like just conversations and get tidbits out of these people.

So Kim Kardashian West is on there, Robert Downey Jr., Dave Chappelle, and Lizzo in season three. I'm sick of being an activist just because I'm fat and black. I want to be an activist because I'm intelligent, because I care about issues, because my music is good, because I want to help the world. Yeah, she's sick of everyone discussing her body,

which is fair enough. Right. Is that out today? Yes. It's out now. Does Letterman still have the big beard? He does. How long is he going to have that for?

Yeah. He looks like Santa with that. Watching for yours truly while I wait for The Mandalorian Season 2 to come out. That's a week away? Yeah. It feels like it would have been. But that's coming week by week as well. That's not like one drop of the whole season. Yeah, I'm not conditioned for that anymore. I don't like it.

You've grown accustomed to it being able to binge. Watch Men. I watched that after you recommended it. I didn't think you'd be into it. It's a mind trip. That's a mind F. The same dude that wrote it wrote Lost. Wait, no, don't. Come back, come back. But it's based

in that universe of the 2009 movie. Jeremy Irons is amazing. God, he's great. A little side fact about Jeremy Irons. Have you seen The Penis yet? What? I've seen Our Penis. Yeah, you see it.

What's this called? Watch Me. Watch Me. I'll find the time code for you. Okay. Wait, but which one are you talking about? Oh, no, there's one. You're not up to that episode yet.

No, no, no, no. I don't think I am. Yeah. Because I heard you mentioning the penis. And then I saw a penis. And I was like, that can't have been the penis you guys were talking about. Producer Jared came into work and said, I saw that penis. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah. It's quite something. Yeah. Jeremy Irons, side fact. He was the first person ever to wear an awareness ribbon. Oh. Was he?

He wore, when he hosted the Tonys in 1992, he wore the red one for HIV awareness. Oh, wow. First person to ever do it on stage. Watchmen, Regina King's in that. Yes. It's got heaps of Academy Award nominations. It's phenomenal. Or Emmys or whatever it was.

Yeah. Also to watch the David Attenborough documentary, A Life on Our Planet. Wait, remember the last time, those seals? I wasn't... No, this is more about him, isn't it? It's what he's witnessed throughout his time of being a documentarian. The changes, the climate change, everything like that.

The Haunting of Bly Manor. Oh, that's on my list. Yeah, because I love the last one. But it's different people this time, eh? Yeah, yeah. Different story. And my daughters are watching Blackpink, Light Up the Sky. Oh, I watched that.

So good. The documentary series behind the K-pop. You don't know. You never knew what those K-pop bands go through, but it's quite the training. One of them's a New Zealander. Yeah. Really?

Yeah. For Lisa? One of them's from Thailand. There's a good, from everywhere. Okay. Yeah, really interesting watch. All right.

Well, apparently the weather this long weekend is meant to be quite hot and nice. So maybe just get out and enjoy that. Don't wear a mask and sign on with your QR code. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. I maybe mentioned a few weeks ago on air that I was collecting the yummy apple stickers. Yeah, you did.

Yeah. Yeah, so you're collecting them for your daughter's school. Yeah. And every morning when I left home, I'd get my apple. I ate an apple on the way to work. And peel the little sticker off and put it on a little chart. And I was approaching you, so you had to get 100 to fill the whole sheet out. And I think I was in the 80s.

So I was like, I'm going to be able to get this done before the end of her school year. So the kids take this to school. Yes. And then what do they get for that? Sports stuff for the school. So they collect a whole sheet. The apple people get us to eat 100 apples. Yeah.

And then they exchange those 100 apples stickers for sporting goods. It's genius marketing. Oh, yeah. Because you could be buying at the supermarket any brand of apple, and you're buying their specific apples every time. Yeah, because they want the stickers. It's an ongoing. It's a long game.

Couldn't you just take the sticker chart to the supermarket and get your kids to peel them off and put them on? You could. That would be... Is that stealing? Well, not a great thing to teach children. You try to teach them the best habits you've got. Oh no, you're teaching your children how to... Loopholes. Loopholes the system. Teaching your children

loopholes. I think I'm all about that. Well, the other day, Sade was tidying the bench and she said, do you need this? Are you doing this for a reason? About the Apple stickers. I said, of course I'm doing it for a reason. I'm doing it so August can take it to school

and redeem for sports equipment. Yeah. To share with her and her peers. New soccer balls for the school. Yeah. Well, I don't know. That's the exciting thing. Maybe it was the introduction

of some brand new sports equip. Also, if everyone in New Zealand is doing this, how many people are collecting their stickers and getting nothing? Like nothing. What do you mean? and getting nothing? Like, nothing. What do you mean? Well, the school could get nothing for doing this. Because they're not going to give every school.

They made a deal. Yeah, but that's the deal. You get the deal. They can't half-ass the deal. No, wasn't it like you go in to get your share of X? Oh, you might. You get something, I'm sure. Do you? For so many stickers, you

definitely get something. Do you? But then there was a big grand prize. Right, okay. I'm pretty sure the sticker sheet was definitely worth something. Okay. And then you maybe went into a prize draw to win the big one. So I was like, well, this is something I can do because I love eating apples. Yeah. And I

love a rose apple and yummy, the people, they make the rose apple they grow them not a problem Shad I said you know this has ended and I was like and you were still collecting

I thought you were just collecting and I was like what do you mean it's ended she's like yeah this ended like a month ago I was like oh what did you just say to me

what did you just say to me I've been working so hard eating an apple every day and remembering to keep the sticker. I was like, does August know? She's going to be so upset. Yeah. Because I'm saying how many of these apples and keep the stickers

and she's like being, you never know, she'll check on it. Yeah. And she's like, she was the one that told me. I was like, what? But she didn't tell you. So I went and I said, did you know the stickers, what was done done It was over And she's like

Oh yeah it ended A little while ago They said that If yeah If we didn't have them in Or whatever I was like Oh

Why didn't you tell me She's like Oh you look like You're having fun She's like you I heard you say A couple of times And I probably

Even said it to myself So they overheard me Talking to myself I'd be like Oh 67 Only 33 to go Yeah Like I'm times and I probably even said it to myself so they overheard me talking to myself I'd be like oh 67 only 33 to go because I don't remember ever vocalising it to anybody

it was just my quiet achievement so she must have just heard me being stoked about my sticker countdown and she just thought it was like a sticker chart for like good behaviour when I got to the end I was going to get myself something she's like no August let him have his fun let him have him the old fella that doesn't have much enjoyment to the end, I was going to get myself something. She's like, no, August, let him have his fun. Let him have him. Hey, hey, hey.

The old fella that doesn't have much enjoyment. Let him have his sticker chart of Apple stickers that are going to do absolutely nothing. Yeah. And so Sade was like, oh, I might chuck it out. Because she's shocking. She won't even keep anything on the bench. She's like, get that off the bench.

She's like, I might chuck it out then. I'm like, you can't chuck it out. I'm not finished. You have to get to 100. I'll buy you a soccer ball if you get to 100. And August is like, let him keep the stickers, Chad.

Shiloh's like, nah, screwed it up and put it in the bin in front of us. Broke me. Broke my little heart. But anyway,

I was like, I missed it. There was no date on it that said, please return to school by this date. There must have been some newsletter

or something in the room that said the please return to school by this date. There must have been some newsletter or something in the room that said the date. And I missed the date. The Long Weekend Group Tweet. This is what happens when you try, by the way. Yeah, don't try. You fail. Don't try.

We must get out of the way first. The Friday Flashback. And it's an oldie today. It's an oldie. Do you have any idea what it is? No. No idea. It's for the best. You said 40-something years old.

So 45 years ago it was in a movie but the first ever stage production of this happened two years prior. In 1973. You have such a terrible memory. This song I would say

probably the most well known song from the musical and written by a New Zealander. Oh, no, not this song. And an associated dance, would you say? Yes, there's a dance. We're not playing this song. I'm not on board with this. This is a silly song.

Georgia, you may now insert said song. Are you on board with this, Executive Intern Anya? Are you all right with this? Absolutely not. She's not on board. No, I'm not on board. No. Mountie's on board. She's not on board. No. Megan's on board. Mountie's on board.

That's two apiece. Georgie has a deciding vote. Georgie's on board. You're going to lose people before the long weekend group tour. We're not. People are going to tune out. We're going to roll them up. We're going to get their blood pumping.

Careful. You're going to eat your words. We're going to get their pulse up. No, this is... It's hitting the right part of the brain that also needs... This is an ominous... You're going to lose people for the long weekend group tour. No, they are going to absolutely love it.

They are going to absolutely... By the end of this, they'll be tooting even if they don't have a car. Just be careful with the dance while you're in the car, please. Yeah, if you're in the car, the dance might not work, but if you're anywhere else, it'd be an absolute crime not to. From the Rocky Horror Picture Show... Oh, my God. ...in the lead- up to Halloween next week.

Friday flashback. Let's do the Time Warp. No. Don't fight it. Get involved. Takes its toll. But listen closely Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control I remember Doing a time warp Drinking Those moments when The blackness will end me! And the void will be calling! Let's do the time bomb again!

Let's do the time bomb again! It's just a jump to the left. And then it's just an around With your hands on your hips You're bringing me to times When it's the film it's us It's been a thousand and saying Let's do the time warm again

Let's do the time warp again. Let's do the time warp again. It's your Friday Flashback on ZM. Fleet's born to Megan, one of our oldest. And I can't believe you played that. You just came out from the toilet having an actual grump. No. I could hear it on the speaker and I was like, this is not a good song.

Terrible. Terrible song. I'm so glad I hopped in the car at Friday Flashback. What a bloody great way to start the day. One. What an effing banger. Thank you. So pumped for Friday.

I told you we need, it's essential for the long weekend group too that we have a pumper. We have a humper and a pumper. The text we see is very positive about this Friday Flashback. Super, super. Took me right back to Sixth Form Social there. Yep. And regular visits to the Avondale Theatre,

where they must have shown a lot. If you've never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show, you know me, I don't particularly enjoy big crowds of people, but man, like a live, where everyone's singing along. A little bit puffed too. So good. A little bit puffed. While I was doing all the dancing and singing, yeah.

One person did ask for you to be voted out of the committee, the flashback committee, but then you haven't had as many strikes as Fletch, so. They asked for me to be voted out? Yeah. Oh, no, they're out. You've got the most strikes. Would we say that?

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's long weekend group toot. I went for it, that group toot, I want it. So COVID robbed us of the Easter Long Weekend Group Toot. Waitangi Day was midweek. There was no long weekend there. Our last Long Weekend Group Toot was the COVID driveway edition, and it was successful. It wasn't the same, though, was it?

It didn't have the same feel. It wasn't the same. It didn't have the same feel. It wasn't the same. I guess people weren't going away for the long weekend either. There wasn't that same though, was it? It didn't have the same feel. It wasn't the same. It didn't have the same feel. It wasn't the same. I guess people weren't going away for the long weekend either. There wasn't that anticipation, that excitement. But it is time for the long weekend group tour. Now, for those that are new to the show,

God, we've been doing this forever. Like, is this like... There must be some historian that can look into this. Like, I'm very first. At least 10 years. It's got to be eight or nine years. I won't lie to you. I was panged with doubt

earlier in the week maybe because it hadn't happened for so long and then someone who I know messaged me saying they'd heard the trailer and it gave them goosebumps

and I said oh my gosh I'd had moments of doubt and they were like no never doubt the group toot and I was like I needed you so for those that are new to the long weekend group toot

here's how it works you give us the first part of the long weekend group toot and then wait for somebody else to finish off. So if you hear that in your car now, anywhere, at any time, you toot back with this toot. You toot back.

When I turn it on. When I turn it on. No, no, no, just delay it as this. So ideally it should sound like this. Yes. Yes, and that is a success. That's the dream. That's the dream combo.

Megan, is that a pen beside you? This is a lip liner. Okay. I can write in a lip liner. I can write in a lip liner. All right, I think we're going to start today in the capital with Ben. Good morning, Ben. Hello, how are you?

Good. Now, you're waiting for the inter-islander ferry. You're in that big car park area. We are, we are. Okay. Oh, sounds windy. Yeah, windy Wellington for you. Okay, not long.

All right, well, Ben, when you're ready, do you want to give us the long weekend group toot? It's also important for those new to the long weekend group toot to have the window down. When you give the long weekend group toot, let also important for those new to the long weekend group tour to have the window down when you give the long weekend group tour. Let's get the phone out the window. And remember, just toot back regardless of where you are. To be in toot back because someone might be tooting in your area as well. That's right.

All right, Ben, when you're ready. Okay. No pressure. You're the starter. You're the opener, Ben. I don't want to freak you out, mate, but you're like the opening. There you go. Yay!

A twofer! A twofer! Great stuff. An absolute twofer. Ben, you are on the honours board. Congratulations. That's fantastic, isn't it? Let's go to Tauranga.

Billy, good morning. Hey, good morning. Good morning. All right Let's go to Tauranga. Billie, good morning. Hi, good morning. Good morning. All right, whereabouts in Tauranga are you? We're on Fraser Street at the moment. All right, give us the long weekend group two when you're ready. Okay. Nothing.

Okay, let's try it one more time. You felt panicked, Billy. You felt... Billy, Billy, Billy. What happened? I mean, it wasn't a correct toot, but you did get a response. Should we try it one more time? Billy, Billy, don't start yet. Don't stress.

Take a deep breath. We need to relax. Okay. You've got this. Remember, it's one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three, four. Okay. Okay, Billy.

I'm ready, Billy. Is this fine? No. Oh, Billy. It's all right. The traffic is now moving again, so... Okay, well, never mind, Billy. It's all right. The traffic is now moving again, so... Okay, well, never mind, Billy. Nice trail.

We kind of got a half there, didn't we? We attributed that a half. I don't think we do count it. We've got to be strict on the rules. Vicky and Tauranga, good morning. Hi. All right, a fellow Tauranga-roo-ree-arian. Is that what we say?

I have plenty eyes. I'm blaming the ears. Vicky, give us a long weekend group toad. Okay. No! Nothing. Wait, I'll go again. It sounded like you were in fast traffic, though.

I'm kind of, I'm just driving up and down Cameron Road. You're hunting the toot. I love it. You're not letting the toot come to you. Give us one more, Vicky. Give us one more. Okay. Someone, tell her I'm not.

Oh! Somebody. Anybody. Let down. Oh, we've been let down by the Bay of Plenty. If you'd like to be the redeemer for the Bay of Plenty. Kate, good morning. Morning.

Now, whereabouts in Auckland are you? I'm in Remuera, just by St. Kent. Oh, they'll have some of those Audi horns. You know how Audis have got their own sound. Yeah, they sound posh, don't they? Do they want to back though? Kate, if I look back over the history of the Long Weekend Group 2, famously snobby.

Yeah. Remuera drivers. So let's see. Give us the Long Weekend Group, Toot, famously snobby. Yeah. Remu era drivers. So let's see. Give us the Long Weekend Group, Toot. Alrighty. Once again. Oh, snob. Snob.

Yeah! That was so succinct! They were waiting for it. They knew. They saw it in your eyes. They were ready. They knew it was coming. It was a quick draw.

Good work, Chelsea. Fantastic. On the honours board, let's go now to Wellington. In the car, Nick, Ella, Indy and Luca. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good.

Whereabouts in Wellington are you? We are waiting for the ferry. Oh. Did you toot to the other guy? We did and the kids are so excited. So now you're running because you want to lead the toot. Now, technically, this is, I mean, we know it's a winner, so this is an easy win.

It's an easy shot, though. It's an easy, well. Ben might have just gone to celebrate. He might have left his horn on the toot. He might be on the ferry. Is it moving? Okay, well, we better get this done, then. Give us a long weekend group toot.

Ready? Ready, guys? Yeah. Yeah! along we can, group two. Ready? Ready, guys? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I think I heard a couple. Shooting vision about a race. I heard a couple. Yes, good work.

It's not in my skill set. I'd love to reverse on. Reversing onto an inter-island ferry. Let's go now to Pakanaunga. Adrian, Aidan and Alicia in the car. AAA. We'll call them AAA. The AAAs.

He was cheering me on. Oh, my God. We need more New Zealanders like that guy. I love that, Chloe. You are on the leaderboard. Peter, good morning. Whereabouts in Auckland are you? Good morning, guys.

Do you want to get another go, Peter? I really do. I really, really do. You're enthusiastic. I just see all the traffic look at me ugly, though. Okay, try again. Try again. Okay, right.

Here we go. No, no. No, Peter. All right, Peter. Thank you for trying, though. Ava in Christchurch, good morning. Whereabouts are you? We are on Barbados Street.

Okay, you're our lucky 10th tutor. Okay. And if you get this, you take it to five. Now, this isn't our best showing, but we want to be halfway. We want to be at a 50-50 rate, you know? Okay. We've been on the leaderboard before, so we've got this. Have you?

Oh, you're experienced. What a... There's nothing in the rulebook that says you can't try again. Oh, absolutely not. All right, Ava, when you're ready, go for it. Oh! Oh, no! Oh, my God.

Oh, no. We've stopped it. No, it's okay. No, I mean, you're still on the leaderboard from last time. I think the nation's out of practice maybe. Is it out of practice? No, we just got flustered. No, it wasn't you.

No, you two did fine. Have another go, Ava. Have another go. Just take your time. I wonder if you're shoulder in the blame though. Yeah. You did great. Yeah!

Yes! Oh, my gosh. Nice. That was so good. That was so good. In my mind, those people were hooting up beside you being like,

wait! In my mind, it's that same support guy. He's like, where are they? Man! Driving like Jason Statham in the Transporter to get there in time. Ava, you're on the leaderboard again.

Roger in Christchurch. How we doing? Good, mate. Let's see if we can follow up with another one in Christchurch. Whereabouts are you? Well, I have strategically moved onto Papunui Road. Oh, okay, good. Yeah, good.

The traffic's actually flowing, though, which could be a bit of a damper, but I am coming up to a set of lights, and... I like your analytical breakdown. I feel like Roger's padding for the lights. Yeah, well... Great padding from Roger. I'm in the dog car, so, you know,

I've got to get things right here. You're in what? Sorry, Roger, you're in a dog car? I'm in the dog car. Right, on Dumb and Dumber, then. Oh, I thought you meant like a whole car

that looked like a dog. That would be pretty cool. No, it's the car we use to take the dog to the dog park. You know, it backs to the truck dog, you guys.

Oh, right. On its own. Okay, Roger, give us a long weekend group two. Here we go now. Come on. We're a Mirabal, so probably not.

Yes! Oh, I got two. You got two. Double. Yes, the Mirabal. Christchurch coming through. Beautiful people in Mirabal. Oh, man, Christchurch is having a storm up.

Thank you, Roger. On the leaderboard, Emma in Palmerston North. Good morning. Morning. Our first Palmy tutor this morning. Whereabouts in Palmy are you? Ring of Tiggies Street. All right.

Let's see if we can get the long weekend group tute happening in the Manawatu. Yes! Yes! That's seven. Nice work. Lovely work, Emma. Well done. Come and pal me.

We're going to go to Kelly in Warkworth. Now, this is a controversial move, tooting in Warkworth. Hello. But then later on today, Warkworth will be at a standstill as Aucklanders get out of work. Now, Kelly, give us a long weekend group tour in Walkworth when you're ready. Okay. Okay. Oh, no!

I thought so. Where's Art and Matilda? Most of them are. Bloody Queenstown, aren't they? Yeah, the only people that live in Walkworth are are the Matilda and old people. And you, Kelly, of course. We're in Hell Street. It's amazing.

All right, Kelly, thanks for trying, though. Let's go to Wellington. Jen, whereabouts in the capital are you? I'm right in the city centre. Okay, Jen. Oh, okay. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. Oh!

Oh, Jesus, Jen. You almost set off your airbag. You are really giving that thing a high. Well, you know, when there's not much traffic around, you've got to give it a go. Yeah, I heard it. Let's go again. I heard it. Okay, yeah, go, Jen, go.

Yes! Yes, Jen! What a great horn. I even heard it echoing off the buildings. I think you can hear that in Blenheim as well. Well, you're going to do it, guys. Do it properly. Exactly. I think you could hear that in Blenheim as well. You're going to do it, guys. Do it properly.

Exactly. Jen, you've got a great attitude. You do, Jen. You're on the leaderboard. Now, I think we've got time. How many have we got? I think we've got time. We've got eight from 14. I think we've got one more.

Let's do one more. Can we go for two more? Because then if we get 100%, we're going to hit 10. I'll tell you what. Let's judge it off what happens here. If Hannah gets this, we'll go 10. Otherwise, we'll leave it at eight. Okay. Hannah and Parmi, good morning.

Hey, how's it going? Good, good. We're at 100% success rate for Parmistan so far this morning. Oh, that's awesome. I am just waiting for the bus to get past me. And then, right, are we ready? We're ready. Okay.

I'm ready, Hannah. All right. Woo! Did you hear that? We didn't hear anything. Okay, fuck. Now we've got to do it again. Right, here we go.

We heard that. Sorry. Yes! I'll give you that. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. Okay, good you that. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. Okay, good.

Okay, Hannah, on the leaderboard. So we now have nine. And what's our record? All right, no. We're not going to beat our record. We're not hitting our record, but we've definitely caught it back. We've got to come for 10. I think, okay, we're going to do one more.

This is our last one. Sinead in Christchurch. Good morning. Morning. Sharni, sorry. Now, Sharni, whereabouts in Christchurch. Good morning. Morning. Shani, sorry. Now, Shani, whereabouts in Christchurch are you? Well, I was trying to follow the Papanui Road one. But we are on Montgrills.

No, Kilmore Street. Okay. All right. Well, Shani, this could be the last Long Weekend Group Tote, and it could take us to 10. A nice round number. When you're ready, give us the long weekend group toot. Okay, hang on. Let's go around this corner.

Where are you going? We're getting on to Bailey. Where are you? You hear that? I heard you. We heard you, but no one else. Okay. Hang on.

Okay, okay. Right, one more time. Yeah. No! Oh! The silence is... Yeah, there was an all-encompassing vacuum sound. It's like the silence of space.

And now we've ended with... Or have we? Candice is on the line! Oh, Hamilton. Stop doing this? Candice is on the line. Oh Hamilton. Stop doing this. Candice and Hamilton. No I've got to here's why.

Here's why. Here's why. Candice. Hi. It sounds like candy. Everyone loves candy. Yeah. One.

She's in Hamilton. Hamilton's a great city. My home city and also Richard what's his chops who wrote the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Now we had that

to start the long weekend group too didn't we? We had the time warp. You're saying this is meant to be. This is a loose argument. It's the triangle. It's magic. Things come in three.

Candice, whereabouts in Hamilton are you for the last toot for the Long Weekend Group Tote? I'm on Waweri Drive. Okay, give us the Long Weekend Group Tote when you're ready. Okay, let me open my windows. Okay. Here we open my windows. Okay. Here we go. Yep. Come on.

Yes! I told you so! I knew it! God, they made us wait, didn't they? They really gave us the sign. Even Candice thought it was over. I thought it was over. We all were written it off.

What an end. Well, there we go. We all were written it off. What an end. Well, there we go. Well, that finishes us on a nice round 10. That's not bad. Not a bad showing for the long weekend group too. Thank you, New Zealand. Have a fantastic long weekend. Stay safe.

Drive safe on the roads. And remember to use your QR code. Scan in places. Masks. Wash your hands. Sanitise. Yep. Don't open mouth kiss strangers.

Not this weekend Save that Unless you scan their code Oh yeah, scan their code Fact of the day is next Was that a sort of a A use of a metaphor? Yeah

Sure Yuck Don't scan their code Not on the first date Flesh fauna Megan The podcast ZM A little late with the fact of the day today due to previous segment,

Long Weekend Group 2. Without further ado, it's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, when I found it last night, I was like, wow, that's interesting. But now I'm like, oh, okay, that's a bit dark. It just tells you what kind of mood you are in. I know, when it comes to the end of the day.

I feel like, because every night, a little behind the scenes part of the show, every afternoon we'll spend like an hour each on the internet trawling for things to talk about and stories and writing a big list of things we want to talk about the next day. And this was Vaughn's email last night. How is the pie king also the sausage roll lord?

Jared Leto will be back as Joker, Pope chat, fact of the day, and then blah, blah, blah, long weekend, full stop, stuff, things, a top six, sleep, full stop. And normally it's like Full stop. Stuff. Things. A top six. Sleep. Full stop. And normally it's like pages long. It was hot.

It was hot. Were you okay last night? I was so tired. I think your excuse was it was hot. It was hot and I was so tired. It wasn't hot for the rest of us. It was hot. I was hot. Yeah.

I was just like, I said to my family, I was like, is anybody else hot? They were like, it is very hot in here. I was like, I'm mountain. I'm hot. I was just like, I said to my family, I was like, is anybody else hot? They were like, it is very hot in here. I was like, I'm mountain, I'm hot. I'm too hot, so I won't do any work tonight. I overloaded.

I got my laptop when you've had it on your duvet for too long. And it's like, no, no more Netflix. My fan was running like this. Couldn't cool me down. It was hot.

So anyway, I found this fact, but now looking back on it, it's an interesting fact. It's a little bit dark. I didn't want to take it this way after the long weekend group too, which is always a feel good. But today's fact of the day is goldfish don't have stomachs. That's why if you feed them too much, they die.

Oh, okay. Because so we've got a stomach. We eat. Yum, yum, yum. It gets into our stomach and it sits there while it digests. Then goes into the long and the big intestine and the little intestine and then the intestine that's just right and then you poop it out. Right.

So it sits in our stomach, but goldfish don't have that ability. It just goes straight into their intestine where their intestine, different parts of it can act like a stomach, like taking little bits and pieces. But when you had to feed someone's goldfish, because I've never had goldfish, but you know they were like, don't feed them too much. You're like, don't tell me my business. Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. And then the next day the goldfish is upside down. It's because you block them up. Oh, really? Oh, I thought it would have just like, overfilled them. You know how they get like a stream of poo behind them? Just makes the stream of poo longer.

Just goes in one and out the other. I've never seen a stream of poo behind a goldfish. Are you joking? Yeah, I've seen a stream of poo behind... I've seen goldfish poo. Does it poo and fall straight away or does it like... Does it have a dangler? Does it have a dangler?

Oh, gross. How do you not know this? Yuck. I've never wanted fish. There's never been anything... Nah. Enjoy it because you can't cuddle them. No.

Most pets I've got or have had, there's a bit of like a furiness or a touch or a cuddle involved. Yeah. Not goldfish. You take them out and they're like. You're like, just love me. And you're cuddling them and they're slippery. And it's 3 a.m.

And you're like, you want a bit of my kebab, goldfish? Oh my god. And it's like blah blah blah blah blah blah. And you're like, well, help yourself. It's like, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, but I will. So today's

fact of the day is goldfish don't have stomachs. Fact of the day, day, day, nom, nom. So today's fact of the day is goldfish don't have stomachs. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Brand new from Drax Project, Firefly, and a couple of the lads from Drax Project are in studio with us. Good morning. Morning. How are you guys?

Good morning. Thanks for having us. Oh, no, thank you for coming in. Thank you for making new music. Oh, yeah, that's just nice. Not many people are doing new music. They can't internationally tour it. Yeah.

Jason Derulo, we were talking about this. Jason Derulo has really made the most of this opportunity. Excuse me, Anya. We are doing an interview. She's brought in my green tea. Oh, beautiful. Thank you. Green tea.

Okay. Water. High quality water, this is. Cheers. Cheers, man. It's not filtered. It's tap. Our tap comes through a filter.

Does it? Okay. It's filtered water. You're welcome filtered tap water only the best but yeah like

new music wise I guess without the ability to tour a lot of musicians are like holding off yeah we were hunkered down for a while

obviously through lockdown just cooking away so this song finally we finished it oh probably maybe three months ago three months ago two three months ago? Three months ago.

Two, three months ago? Wrote it last year in LA. Right. So yeah, happy to get it out finally. So did you record it in LA? Yeah. We did the initial writing session in LA, which some of the parts were recorded in,

but most of the vocals were recorded at our studio. No, but average. So we brought them to New Zealand and recorded them properly. Right. Do it right, homegrown. Exactly. If you to New Zealand and recorded them properly. Right. Yeah. Do it right, homegrown. Exactly. If you want something right, do it yourself. For the regions. So how did you get Fetty Wap? And like, was he in the studio with you? Like, what's the deal?

Nah, it's kind of one of those situations where like COVID hasn't really affected how we interacted with him because like he was in the States and we were here. But yeah, we basically just like wrote the song we ever initially wrote a first verse um but we didn't really like it and we also felt like it needed a feature like it had that vibe and that needed that energy so easy way out if you don't like

a verse just get a feature on it but but yeah we we thought that it like would would go really well with his vibe and he's on the same label as us in the States. So yeah, through that connection, we asked him and he liked it. So yeah, pretty stoked. As a musician, is there a better country to be in at the moment? Absolutely not. The fact we can play shows.

Yeah, you're going to be able to do shows. You're going to be able to do, granted're gonna be able to do granted not international summer tours yeah yeah but i mean we would where's really safe if that is happening anywhere else like where's it really safe to do that anyway yeah exactly yeah it's funny we were um facetiming the producers of firefly yesterday and they're in la and we flipped the camera around and showed them people walking around on the street and they were just freaking out that people are out like walking like normal people yeah so yeah very very lucky that we get to play shows over summer and yeah even be in here with you guys yeah i know we're going to visit isn't everything at the moment you didn't come from the north shore did you

shutting the bridge this weekend that would be a goodore. That would be a good call anyway, maybe. I've been for it for years. We're for Wellington, but yeah, do it. Blow the bridge. Set them free. Just see them do that. But then Megan won't be able to get to work. No, she's a nice talker now. She's on this side of the rubber.

Even up there, sorry. We can blow a few bridges. Yeah, nice. You on board for packing some dynamite like old school? Hey, it wasn't us, okay? If that happens,

it's not us, okay? We're not involved. This is all you. If it happens, it wasn't me either. We're constantly distancing ourselves from comments that he makes.

For years now, haven't you? I've been listening. I've been listening. Vaughn wants to blow up another bridge, does he? Oh, no. You got more songs to come then? Yeah.

Thanks for having us. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. A very Kiwi thing happened this week. A Police 107 crew pulled up somewhere outside the outrageous Fortune House. Well, not the crew themselves.

Like the police on the show. I don't know if you know, but they're not filming that show anymore. The crew wasn't there. What, our Radius Fortune crew? No, Police 10-7. I said the Police 10-7 crew. You said the Police 10-7 crew. They pulled up a civilian. To me, the Police 10-7 crew includes both licensed

officers of the law. Licensed? Certified? Official? Sworn officers of the law. Official officers of the law. Licensed? Like certified? Official? Sworn. Sworn officers of the law. Official officers of the law. God, that was like we were in a thesaurus and we were just deciding which one we liked best

because we were copying our friend's work but we couldn't use the same word. Yeah. Yeah, my crew, when I say police 10-7 crew, I imagine, how many camera people? It's only one or two and they follow they follow the police the police are mic'd up yeah and then there's the crims if i was a cop i'd hate that like because don't you have to buy everyone else a drink if you were on the show

that show's surely exempt because yeah they they choose people to front it i was talking to the girls they were like um you know this is this real we're watching places oh yeah is this real i'm like yeah this is real like this is the situation were watching places. Oh, yeah. Is this real? I'm like, yeah, this is real. Like, this is the situation. They pull people over and talk to them. And I said, if this ever happens to you, do not give them permission to show your face. Because we were watching that there's an Australian ambulance show as well. Oh, yeah.

And it's the same sort of situation. They go out with the first responders. And I was like, this girl fell off a cliff taking a selfie. And she was like in a bikini, but there was no way she was going swimming.

She had like her hair and makeup done and nails and everything. So she was primarily at this location for a selfie. And she fell backwards off a cliff and fell two metres. And her face was unblood. And I said to the girls,

if you ever do something, like, and it might be a bit silly. Yeah. And you end up, and there's a camera, give permission to face to be shown no because she's going to be girl that fell backwards off a cliff trying to get a good selfie for the rest of her life yeah good we'll have some liability good life advice from you never give never give permission for your face to be used yeah that was my dad lesson for that day but this was the absolute like the absolute kiwi sing of all.

Oh, absolute pinnacle. Yeah, for some bogans to be pulled up outside the outrageous fortune house. The only thing that would have made it more is if some people who didn't have any right to be on that property were on the property drinking Swap-A-Crates. And then someone started singing, Lying in the gutter. While eating reduced cream.

Just straight out of the tin. Mixing it in their mouth, dipping a little bit of soup mix and a reduced cream in their mouth and going, kiwi-es.
