Oh yeah, here he is dancing dancing but then it showed him like with like i don't know purple hair and stuff like it seems he hasn't written his hair he's written off he hasn't written off his life yet of all he's done is um colored his hair pink oh he's shaved half of it off now there he is doing the dance look like this kid's fine don't worry about this kid. That kid's going to be okay.

Anyway. Do you always click on those ones? It's like, look where this child star is now. Nah, because those websites, you've got to click through the photos. One of them, I got to 65 before I saw it, and I was just like, fuck it. And I just Googled the person's name and 2020, and it showed me. It's because every time you click the photo, they get a page hit. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, those bloody shit songs. Oh, didn't I look like a sucker? And I was like, no, no, fuck you. I'm going to get in. They got 65. That could have been 66. I was so angry that I just Googled it. We've all been there, haven't we?

Yeah. I must find out what this actor looks like now or what they've done now. Just Google their name. Yeah. And if it says kid actor from so-and and so, Google that and it will tell you their name, then Google that. Don't click all the way through.

Dancy Kid, Floss Kid, it's an 11 minute video. He first pops up at 10 minutes 30. He's right at the end. He's the kid that we all came to see. We all came to see Backpack Kid Doing the floss

What year was that? Now I need to know how long the floss has been around Any guesses? 2017 Backpack Kid 2017 Because it was Swish Swish right? Katy Perry song Swish Swish

Yeah it was on Saturday Night Live right? Oh 2016? I don't know What years What do years mean? Like this year has just... 2017. So over three years ago because it was...

This article was in May 2017. So it would have been April 2017 when that happened. Goodness me. Yeah, over three years. Remember when that was like the biggest steal in the world? Katy Perry and Taylor. Yeah. Beefing.

Yeah, those are the good old days. Just eating your breakfast. Alright, enjoy the podcast. ZM Head Music lives here. Fletch, Vaughn and Megan, the podcast. Good morning, welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Good morning.

Vaughn's having to borrow headphones. Yeah, I'm using the work headphones today. Where's yours? I don't know, they must have fallen out of my bag. Did these I'm using the work headphones today. Where's yours? I don't know. They must have fallen out of my bag. Did these go bigger? How do you get these to go bigger? These barely cover my taringa.

They must stretch out. They're in full stretch. Yeah, well, you've got a big head. What are these, headphones for ants? How do your headphones just fall out of your bag? I must have just been dragging stuff out of it and they fell out and then someone was like,

well, those are on the floor, so they put them up and then I didn't see them. That's how that happens. Okay. That's exactly how that happens. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, well, top six coming up.

Yep. Don't know what yet, though. I'm still undecided on that. How long have I got? I thought you had decided. Nah. But are you having doubts?. I'm still undecided on that. How long have I got? I thought you had decided. Nah. Are you having doubts? Are you doubting yourself? I liked that idea. What one? Go with it.

What one? Yeah, but I can't think of a... I was like, was that charades good enough? Yeah, no, I know what you're saying. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, nah, not, yeah, nah, nah, yeah, yeah, nah, nah, yeah, yeah, nah, nah, yeah, yeah.

No, I'm still hunting. Okay. All right, well, you've got some time to sort that out. Our 50K Fact of the Day is back again today. So 8.25 makes you listening out for the Fact of the Day. And we'll ask you questions about that midday and 4 o'clock for you to win cash. All thanks to Save My Bacon. Next on the show, I want to talk about A German law

For dog owners Which I just don't Man if that came in here We would We'd slip from Our ranking of Third fattest nation

I'll tell you that much Right now Oh yeah You're saying mutually beneficial Yeah For dog and owner I don't think the dog Would have it

Alright I just think there'd be Heaps more people Breaking the law. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's a new law in Germany. The Agriculture Minister brought this in. Weird. But it's a new

legislation in the Dogs Act that says that dogs in Germany must be taken for hour long walks twice a day. So an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. That's a lot, right? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, well, they've said that dogs need a lot more stimulus than you might think. They're not cuddly toys. They have their own needs, which need to be taken into account. So also, it's no longer legal for dogs to be left alone at home for long periods as well. Oh, what constitutes a long period? Like going to work nine to five? Yeah, like the whole day.

Yeah. That would be pretty horrible, leaving a dog in an apartment. Yeah. Like if it had an outdoor area it could run around in, another dog to play with. Is this just for solo dogs too? Because I always thought if no one was home, it would be best to have two dogs, right,

so the dogs could play with each other. Can play with each other, yeah. So I just Googled how long should you walk a dog, between 30 minutes to two hours, depending on, I guess, the breed as well. Yeah. Like your bigger dogs would probably need more. Whereas your dog would get puffed after 10 minutes.

Because during level four lockdown, we'd take him for a walk every day and he ended up just sitting down. If you go on too long a walk, he'll just sit down on the grass and you literally have to kind of drag him along. I'm done. I'll let you drink, mate.

Just leave me here. I'm fine. Just leave me here. I'll be all right. He's like, no, we're not leaving you here. I think an hour is absolute maximum. And then he's like, no, carry me. Legs.

Carry me. How are they going to know? Yeah, I don't know. I guess you can just rely on your neighbours knocking on you. Well, yeah, you'd report, yeah, if your neighbour's dog was one of those dogs that howls because it's just left at home all day. But if you weren'tied up, yeah. If you work nine to five, you've got to allow, what, an hour in the morning

to go for a walk, even in the middle of winter and in Germany where it's snowing. Yeah, I didn't think about that. And freezing cold. Where are you going to walk your dog? And then once you get home, what, 5.30? Yeah, and then go...

Yeah, exactly. Get home from work and then walk for an hour. It doesn't say how they're policing it and it doesn't say what the....30? Yeah, and then go, yeah, exactly. Get home from work and then walk for an hour. It doesn't say how they're policing it and it doesn't say what the punishment is. Probably treadmill? Oh, yeah. It's more of the external stimulus though, right? You'd get one of those harnesses and you'd strap them in

so they can't get off. And if they want to stop, they have to just hold up, tuck their legs in and just float. I'm imagining they're suspended. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. It's not just on a leash.

Yeah. But would that count? I don't know. Because that's not- Well, it's exercise. Yeah, but it's not outside or anything. We do it at the gym. Put on some little doggy Netflix for them.

Yeah. You can watch that while they're on the treadmill. Forget they're doing cardio. My old neighborhood, there was a dog that used to just be let out. They'd just open the door and let it out. And then when it was done, like two hours later, they'd let it back in. So you just see this dog roaming the neighbourhood and just did his own thing for a couple of hours.

Did he pack up his pill after him? Absolutely not. No, I bet he didn't. You can tell it was a big highlight on the local community page. Oh, right. So people knew about it and it was talked about. They knew who was doing it. Poopies around the neighbourhood.

It was just self-sufficient. Couldn't be bothered taking it for a walk, so just let it out. Do your thing. I'll see you in a couple of hours when you're done. It's also nuts to just assume it's coming back every day. And it's not going to get hit by a car or taken by somebody else or, you know, snaffled up by dog control. 13 past six.

There has been a top secret iPod. What? The one with you two on it? No. Worse than that. There's a story in 2005. Take yourselves back. Would that have been click wheel iPod days?

Yeah. Yeah. Do they still make iPods? I just looked. They make an iPod touch. So like an iPhone without the phone. It's just basically, exactly. It's got Wi-Fi. If you're connected to the internet, you can do

like FaceTime and everything like that. So yeah, they still do. Remember how chunky iPods were? Like how heavy? Yep. And they had the silver back And you'd click the wheel Yep And the spinny disc inside

Because you couldn't run with them Because it would make it skip Because it was actually an old spinny disc Not a flash That's right I never had one It was just a little hard drive I just like

Everyone else had them And I was like I had one And then the iPhone came out And then I was like I'll just get the iPhone I had one of those little, what were those skinny ones? Shuffles.

Shuffles, but you had the click, click, click, click. And then it went from a wheel to just buttons, four buttons. Hell of a time. Hell of a time. And they were heavy. They were heavy. Well, it was in 2005 something. It must have been the first or second generation iPod. But a story's come out that there was,

at Apple headquarters in 2005, two men asked for an office and they were given one and everyone that was working there was like, we won't ask too many questions. They were building a custom version of the iPod for government, for secret government purposes. Like, who's the guy in James Bond? Q.

Yeah. Like that. So it looked and it ran exactly like an iPod. Yeah. But it had measuring equipment in there that they're still not 100% sure what it was for, but they believe it was the equivalent of like a gigameter so they could carry this into yeah right nuclear power plants or somewhere where there had been nuclear fallout and get a super secretive and i don't know why it had to be secretive measurement and it would

record it onto the same hard drive that held the music and then when you got out you could plug it into your computer and there'd be a special program that would decrypt it, import it, and give you the readings you wanted. That's crazy. Yeah. Because I guess you could take it somewhere where you think the terrorists

are hiding all their nuclear explosives or weapons. Oh, because this was when they were searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So maybe. And you'd just be like, oh, well, that person's just got an iPod. Yeah. Oh, well. Secret forces drop in, all dressed in Iraq. So maybe. And you'd just be like, oh, well, that person's just got an iPod. Yeah. Oh, well.

Secret forces drop in, all dressed in black, listening to that Clearwater song that's always on. Some people born, made to raise the flag. And then it's like, and it's recording, and they can see where they were and what had happened. And even if, what, the enemy's got their hands on it, they'd just think it was an iPod. Yeah, yeah, they'd just say,

oh, this guy loves that American war song. How did this get out? So a guy who worked at Apple was like, this was crazy, do you remember? And basically said about these two guys in this corner office, and everyone else that is still friends with them tweeted back, being like, oh my God, yes, the government guys.

And yeah, it's kind of just come out that they were from a betch tool, which is like a government defence contractor. Right. Who was in charge. Defence contractor is basically weapons supplier, right? Right. And technology advancer. Imagine if just at your workplace,

there's just a couple of random guys working away on something. In an office, yeah. And black suits all the time. They brought in all their own stuff. What's the deal? Like suitcases. Yeah, in and out. They've never talked to anyone.

Are you staying for Friday drinks? We've just thought about a phone that's like an iPod. We're going to try that. No, that sounds stupid. That'll never work. See ya. All right, 621, next on the show, we've managed to track down the man responsible

for a lot of memes last week. Yeah, we talked extensively about the sexual revolution that was the election guy, the orange election cartoon. Really sexed him up. Had been turned into a sexy daddy. Sexy election man. Yeah. Just making us feel like enrolling to vote is a kink.

And a good kink at that. We managed to track down Dan. Dan is the person that took Orange Guy and made him sexy. Next? Yeah, next. Benny ZM. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Joining us on the phone to talk Sexy Election Guy,

but also his other artwork, which you will have seen on Instagram lately, Dan, hello. Hi, how's it going? Good, mate, good. So this is Dan. On Instagram, you might know Dan as Yeehaw the Boys. And we've been seeing a lot of your art lately, I guess with sort of like socialised restrictions,

you've had a bit more time to do art. Yeah, pretty much stuck inside. Right. How did this kind of idea come to you to sexualise the orange man? Well, I thought he's weird anyway, and I thought the best way to get to Gen Z and millennials is through Sexy Orange Guy.

And you don't have a political affiliation or a political agenda? You're just like, I'm going to put abs and nipples on the Orange Guy. Yeah, no, my only agenda is to get people to question how they feel about the Orange guy. Right. You certainly did. And that I have.

Yeah, yeah. It was news when we spoke to the Prime Minister on Friday morning. She didn't know about Orange Election guy, but I feel she was going to look into that when we raise it. I hope she does. Yeah. It's also some of your other stuff you've been doing. You've been tackling the conspiracy

people that are out there at the moment. The conspiracy theorists of COVID-19 being a lie and also immortalised Ashley Bloomfield with the drawing of the famous saying, the problem is the virus,

the people are the solution. So it's really good, man. It's good to see that positive stuff coming through on Instagram through, you know, the form of art. Yeah, it's been really exciting seeing the feedback, both positive and negative,

but yeah, it's been great. Is it easy to write off the negative because it's coming from people who believe that the swab testing for COVID-19 is putting a microchip next to their brain? Yeah, it kind of just cements my point even more. Right, and what else have you got lined up? Are you just kind of constantly on the lookout for things happening

in current events that can be turned into art? Yeah, it can be anything. I think I've got to finish off the Orange Man trilogy. There's a third little bit coming out soon. Yeah, I was going to say, are we going to get more of the Orange Guy? Just curious. Oh, yeah. He haunts me.

He haunts me. I keep thinking of new things. Because the first Orange Guy, we had him kind of bed sheet. Second was a mirror selfie in the bathroom in his undies. This may be a little presumptuous, but could we be getting full frontal? I'm thinking back frontal, actually. Back? He'd have a good ass.

I'm just going to put it out there. Yeah, you don't have that round the head. Maybe long cheeks. Yeah. Yes. Have a nice pair of... Good. Yeah, you've got me slightly distracted.

We've just gone down a rabbit hole, haven't we? Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for having a chat to us, Dan. If you are listening and you want to see Dan's artwork, I mean, you're probably familiar with Orange Guy. That's been everywhere. If you're not, sexy Orange Guy's on there.

Yeehaw, the boys. Thanks so much for joining us. Hey, no problem. Thank you. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So online shoppers, you know that there's some subtle tricks going on, but some of these I didn't know about. Oh, I know one.

Like, remember when we used to book hotels online because we'd go on holidays? Hotel. It'd be like, Trivago. Trivago. No, it was always booking.com or some of them, they go, eight people are watching this room right now. Quick, book it.

That is one of them. God, I hate that. These are called dark patterns apparently and they're used by online stores and retailers to get you to spend more money or act quickly. What do clothing stores do when it's – what's the equivalent for that for a clothing store? Oh, we've only got four pants left. Yes.

Quick. So there is, yeah, urgency is a classic apparently. There's countdown clocks, which will be like, I don't know, you've only got so much. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The sale has 11 hours. Yeah. And funnily enough, so many times it gets extended. And then they, you know, countdown clocks will be like,

there's only so many of these left. And then if you refresh it, it's like, there's still only so many of these left. So is it BS when they're like X amount of people are watching? Because we don't know, do we? How do we hold them to account? Apparently it could be. What were we looking?

And Shadow's like, oh no, quick. Because down the bottom it was like, Sue from Wellington's got one. I was like, this is bullshit. It's got to be bullshit. This one is called social proof. Nowhere, when I'm booking somewhere, do I give it the okay for them to use my name and location as advertising? Yeah, yeah. There is another one.

It's called social proofing. So it's when you're browsing, it'll pop up and say, Ashley from Ashburton is looking at this. 53 people are looking at this right now and then you like get worried that you're going to lose it or it gives it, you know,

Ashley bought it. It's good. I can buy it. Yeah. Obstruction is where they make it hard for you to cancel something. Stop a subscription if you've ever tried to like cancel at the gym or like shut down your Facebook.

Yeah. And you click on it. It's like unsubscribe. You click here. It's like, why? And you click a reason that it's like, are you sure? Jump through hoops. Yeah, just how hard it is to get off a mailing list sometimes.

So I just Googled booking.com still jerking customers, says Watchdog, 19th of September on the BBC. It said, according to the Consumer Watchdog, five out of 10 of booking.com's only one room left on our site claims failed to give an accurate picture of availability. Yeah, that's just cheeky, eh? Very cheeky. Wow.

And then another one is putting an expensive item, whatever it is, next to a cheap one or next to the one you're looking at to make it seem cheaper than it is. And you're like, oh, this is the bargain, so I'm going to get this. Right. But they always say you should look at Price Buy.

You love that website, Vaughan. Yeah, love a bit of that. Price Me. Always look around because you could absolutely be getting jupes. When you're in a store, you do that and then if you find it cheaper somewhere else you'd be like, do you guys do price match? Oh, they love that.

They love that. Oh, they love. As soon as you open your mouth and it's like, do you guys do the other? Damn it! Do you know there's a browser extension? It's called Icebox. And so when you, it replaces any buy now buttons with a button that says put it on ice. It makes you think about it.

Oh, really? That's what I need. You can still click it and it will just remind you in a couple of days. Be like, did you still want this? Yeah. Or I guess if you click it again, it's like, okay. Yeah, I tried. I tried.

You wouldn't listen. That's definitely what I need. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Today's top six, the top six ways to stop Aucklanders crowding parks and public spaces during level three. Beautiful weather. Yeah, that was the problem.

It was too nice. If it was raining, people would have stayed inside, but crowding skate parks, basketball courts, beaches. Oh, they were all crowded, weren't they? How did that make you feel, Megan, while you were handing out coffee through a tiny hole in the wall? Yeah, wonderful. Those are all people who obviously don't have anyone who's sick

or have a business or... Did you see... Let me just check here. Nope. Not doubling up on content. That's why I took all that myself. Did you see Sunday last night? Oh, we are talking about that, so... No, I'm just kidding. I was like, where?

Did you see Sunday last night? No. It's on after Country Calendar, so I'd love to get me for a flow over. Fascinating episode of Country Calendar. The rest of us to get me for a flow over. Fascinating episode of Country Calendar. The rest of us just do it on Netflix. Do you know about that?

No, because there was talk about New Zealanders that had COVID-19 and they talked to Janine Crossman. Do you remember that was like,

she was quite a high profile face. Oh yeah, yep, yep. They got it. Do you know she's got allergies now that she never had before? You know, but that's the thing,

that there are so many long-term effects that we don't know. No concept. So that's why we're so lucky as a country, because very few of us have had COVID or been exposed to it. That's why when you see people saying, it's a 1% mortality rate for a start, you're just going to randomly assign a death warrant to some people if you're happy to let it flow in.

Yeah. And then you get long-term effects. No idea. It's like some people are battling fatigue, like chronic fatigue. Yeah. It's the stress on your heart. It's the equivalent to having a heart attack. Wow.

The stress on your heart. So basically, if you've had it afterwards, your heart is at the strength for someone who's had a heart attack. Like there is long-term, all this whole... That we don't know, yeah. Let's just let it in and see what happens. Situation's crazy. So, anyway, the top six ways to stop Aucklanders crowding parks during Level 3 are...

Number six, have a 24-hour channel of Ashley Bloomfield calming us down so there's no need to even leave home. Oh, yeah, okay. Maybe just... Just put it on loop. It's just live streams. Yeah. Or just follow him around at home. Yeah. He is so calming, right? Yeah. It just put it on live streams. Him. Or just follow him around at home.

Yeah. He is so calming, right? Yeah. It just makes me feel so chill. And his kids are grown up, hey? His kids are like older. So I was just thinking he'd do that thing where his kids would be doing something bad and he'd be like, hey, let's have a think about why we're doing that.

And then the kids stop doing it and you're like, how does he do that? I couldn't imagine him putting on an angry dad voice. He didn't even scream at them. Why isn't he yelling at his children and they're listening to him? Fascinating. Number five on the list

of the top six ways to stop Aucklanders crowding parks during level three. You know those sports courts with high netting on the side? Like it might be like basketball courts

or you know, people often use those. Borrow some lions from the zoo. Oh, yeah. And put them in there. Because it's the high side, so the lion can't get out. Yeah. But if you go in there, then the lion might eat you.

So you won't use the basketball court. Yeah. Good idea. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six ways to stop Aucklanders crowding parks during level three, skate bowls. Yeah. I know mostly nowadays it's skate parks,

but every now and then you might find a bowl, fill it with water and put some poos in it. In a toilet bowl. I thought you were going to say a crocodile. No, we can't borrow a lion and a crocodile from the zoo. So lions in the basketball courts, just poos in the skate bowl. Yep. Number three on the list of the top six ways to stop Aucklanders crowding parks at level

three. You know, bird spikes. You'll see them on like fences and stuff when people don't want birds to sit on them. Put them on park benches. Okay. Yeah, right. That'll stop birds and humans sitting and shitting on them. Yeah.

Number two on the list of the top six ways to stop Aucklanders crowding parks during level three. Landmines in the sand at Mission Bay. I mean, it's extreme, but. We mark them. Well, we don't mark them because then people will know how to go for a walk along the beach and avoid them. But, like, just afterwards we'll metal detect them. What happens?

Yeah, that was my question. What happens when we go back to normal level? You have to get all the mines. And Princess Di's gone. She was good at finding mines. She was great at finding landmines. Yeah, she was. She could sniff them out like those rats.

But I was just thinking we'd get one of those. Have you ever seen one of those landmine clearing steamrollers? Yeah, they're pretty cool. So they're so heavy and so dense that they set them off, but there's no damage incurred. Yeah. They'd be pretty sweet afterwards when the sulfate blows over. As long as they got them all, because you go for a sunbathe and get boom in coup. Yeah. They'd be pretty sweet afterwards when the Southland blood's over. As long as they got them all

because you go for a sunbathe and get boom, boom. Yeah. It would be unpleasant. Oh, they'd get them all. They'd make sure they'd go back and forth a few times. And I mean, you know,

and then like the chances of dying from stepping on a landmine is like 1%, so like just let it in. And number one on the list of the top six ways to stop Aucklanders creating parks

during level three, sky spider sharks. So there are sharks that can fly, but they've also got spider legs. Wow. And spider pincers. That'll do it. Sounds like the perfect weapon. And so they're flying around outside.

I'm pretty sure everyone's staying in the house. Yeah. Everyone's staying in the house. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now this is like out of a plot of a police procedural TV show or a movie. staying in the house. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now this is like out of a plot of a police procedural TV show or a movie.

A police rookie has been fired from police college here in New Zealand. Can you get fired from police college? Yeah. Or kicked out. Kicked out or expelled. Suspended.

Indefinitely. So the recruit was, this is what the story says, fired days before graduation after she was found to be living with a member of the mongrel mob. Romantically.

Well, yeah. Well, opposites do attract. A relationship that was not picked up during police vetting procedures. I don't know if they ask you, are you living with a gang member? I don't know if that's one of the questions.

How does that mean constant undercover? Oh, yeah, yeah. They should have flipped you. Who better to go undercover? You got to flip, but nah, then you got a classic departed scenario. You know that Scorsese film from 2006? There's someone undercover in the police walls from the mob.

There's someone undercover from the mob in the police force. Because gangs overseas have been well known to do this, eh? Like, they get people into the police force. Yes. So there's no evidence

apparently that she ever accessed any information. Right. Unlawfully. Oh yeah, that's, we're certainly not insinuating that

is the case here, but it has happened overseas. Oh yeah, totally. Yeah, totally. But yeah, they've done some checks and they don't believe there's any evidence that she attempted to deliberately infiltrate the police. I'm so naive.

I didn't even think about that. I was like, oh, you're like, yeah, that she would be wanting to get information and stuff. You know, but they're privy to like, if there's going to be a raid, ring, ring, hello, hey, sweetie. We're about to raid you. You might want to take a lunch break.

Hide the drugs. Do gangs get lunch breaks? I don't assume there's a union looking after gang members. It's very hard to take your gang employees to the tribunal. That's stink. Yeah. But yeah, of course, there'd be privilege and knowledge. Yeah, that would be hard

if you're in there and they're like, hey, we're going to raid this. You're like, oh, that's a little boyfriend's house. Imagine though, finding out, like you were a cop and then imagine finding out your partner was in a gang.

Was doing illegal stuff. Oh, yeah. What a conflict. But that's what I wanted to ask this morning. If anyone's ever had a conflict of interest, because that's what they call it, conflict of What a conflict. But that's what I wanted to ask this morning. If anyone's ever had a conflict of interest, because that's what they call it, conflict of interest. Yes.

You know, like being a police officer and having a gang boyfriend. Yeah. Or just in your work or life, have you had a situation where maybe there's been some overlaps that were a conflict of interest? Yeah, like your dad supports Canterbury rugby and your boyfriend's from Auckland. That is a conflict of interest.

We can't expect people to ring in and be like, yeah, hey, look, I was at police college and also sleeping with a gang member. Yeah, that's true. But you know, we can surely take it down a notch there on conflict of true. But, you know, we can surely take it down a notch there on conflict of interests. Like, in your family, Megan,

if Mr. Toyboy was a big Ford guy, because you're a Holden family, that would be a car-based conflict of interest. Actually, it stays away from cars in general, so that's fine. But, yeah, that would be a... Like, if you were dating Gianni Versace's son but you were a Gucci girl.

Conflict of interest. Conflict of interest. Never son did he? I don't know. I don't even know. I was actually surprised they managed to pull out two fashion names. Yeah, good on you. You did good. That's so good. Yay me. Yeah. Or maybe in your

line of work you're a vegan and you have to do something with sausages. Yeah. That's a conflict of interest. I don't know. I just thought maybe on the back of this, we could find people listening. Maybe you've had at some stage a conflict of interest or you've got one now. Give us a call. 0800 dials at M.

You can text as well. 9696. When have you had a conflict of interest? A police recruit has been kicked out of police college after it was found she was living with a gang member. Conflict of interest. We wanted to know your conflicts of interest. Probably not that conflicty.

Sorry. Some responses. We put this on the gram, asking for responses. And these two people were contacted but did not want to speak. Okay. So I will leave their names and their Instagram handles out of it. But my husband and I currently work for two rival retailers. So that would be like speculation, pure speculation here.

But would that be like Kmart and the warehouse? That's what I thought of too. I was going to say Kmart and Farmers. But then I was like, nah, Farmers is a bit more bougie. Or Mighty Ten and Bunnings, because they'd be at each other. They'd be at each other. Are you doing a sausage sizzle this weekend? Who told you that? It was just a guess, but yes we are, are you?

Yes we are. Who are you fundraising for? Surf Lifesaving? What about you? Local brownie troop? Ooh, we are. Who are you fundraising for? Surf Lifesaving. What about you? Local Brownie Troop. Ooh. Okay, okay. Or when they have a shower, you go through all their documents and you see their little hand-drawn mailer.

Because you know in the mailer, they always draw things in pencil, or like, see outline of things. Who does? You know, is it Bunnings always do that? Is it Bunnings that does that? Yeah, you'd be like, I don't like that, I just want a photo. Yeah, why do they do that? That's weird. 1-0 to motor 10. And somebody else said, I don't like that. I just want a photo. Yeah, why do they do that? It's weird. One zero to motor 10. Somebody else said, I met my wife in a kitchen.

I was her senior chef. And apparently this is a big no-no. Yeah, because a lot of workplaces don't like that, do they? The interaction. What is the no-no? Like that they're working together and in a relationship or like senior position thing. Well, you might let a medium rear.

You might let a medium steak go out as a medium rear, you know. Canoodling in the kitchen. Yeah, because you're canoodling. It's too much canoodling. Thomas, what was the conflict of interest? I was a butcher and my girlfriend was a vegetarian. Oh my God. Huge conflict of interest.

How did you deal with that? Well, there was a lot of arguments. I love my scotch, so I was constantly bringing up scotch and she'd just give me that disapproving look. I mean, to be honest with you, she was a bit of a cow anyway. That didn't end well then, I'm taking profits. I'm so, she was a bit of a cow anyway, so. Right. That didn't end well, then I'm taking profits. I'm so glad you said cow, because when you started that word, I didn't know what was. Anonymous, what was the conflict of interest?

So I'm real liberal, like real left wing. Yeah. And my speaking cousin is the leader of the New Zealand New Conservative Party. Oh! Wow, that's a conflict of interest at Christmas, isn't it? Yeah, like, I don't know how I'm going to navigate that one just yet. Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it.

By the time Christmas rolls around, they'll have no seats in Parliament and they'll be laughed at again. Like, by the family, hopefully. Yeah, yeah, brilliant. Thanks for your call, Anonymous. Jaden, what was the conflict of interest? So I'm a dairy farmer, and I started sleeping with the boss's assistant manager,

and it was his pride and joy that he was building up, and then I went in there and basically stuck everything up and started sleeping with him. Conflict of interest. Yeah. And then basically I got let go and yeah,

I got a nice payout though, just to, you know, keep the buzz ward. Right. Right. But no,

so now... You see, look mate, if you leave now, I'll give you this much and we'll call it. And I'll be like, sweet,

later mate. Yeah. And so now... Did you still get to stay sleeping with the farm manager in training? No, I ended up moving up to the North Island and meeting my wife. Oh, brilliant.

There you go. It's like a movie payout. You know how they do that? Brilliant. Thanks, you're cool, Jaden. Some other messages in. I'm 100% addicted to sugar, but I'm also a dental therapist, a.k.a. school dental nurse. Oh, conflict

of interest. And treat kids' tooth decay and talk to them about healthy diet and how bad sugar is. And then I'll be like and get into some sugar. Imagine if they had like a little secret jar of lollies in their desk at work. And then they got found out. Yeah, that would be

like a police officer having a bag of cocaine in their top drawer. Yeah. Yeah, why not be like a police officer having a bag of cocaine in their top drawer. Yeah. Yeah, why not? Very similar. Less calories and I don't know if it's a bad beer tea. Conflict of interest. I work in the security industry in a rather small town in New Zealand.

I'm constantly having to deal with friends from school and on one occasion a family member. So this is like people I know I have to be like, you can't be here or get out of here. Anonymous, what's your conflict of interest? Hi, my conflict of interest is that my partner and I both work as mechanics in the same industry, and we work for rival companies. Are they rival mechanics? Pretty much.

Really? Does it get quite fierce in the mechanic industry? To be honest, in our industry, it's pretty relaxed. Right. But yeah, we're always giving each other a good ribbing about who's selling the better product. Yeah, for sure. Well, you're competing for money, right?

Yeah, exactly. So it would be. You're not going to be allowed to... Did you have to... Is there any, like, do you have any formal agreements with your work? Did you have to, like, sign something to say you won't tell him anything? Yeah, I did. He didn't.

Oh, okay. More professional company that you work for. So he's like, he's trying to get it on at bedtime, and you're like, well, tell us what you've got going on next week. Because he's not contractually obliged not to. We've just got a whole new range of spanners. Yeah. Watch out, we've got some oil.

Watch out for you. It sounds quite sexy actually. It doesn't it? Thank you, Anonymous. I'm a warranted fitness inspector without a car and a warrant of fitness because I know my car won't get a warrant of fitness. Conflict of interest. How's that?

How's that? Dad said, never date a ginger or drink Pepsi. Now I'm dating a ginger and dad drinks Pepsi. Is that a conflict of interest or is that just... I think that's just changing lifestyles. Weird life rules from your dad. Dad just chucking out some weird advice there. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. You get life rules from your dad. Dad just chucking out some weird advice there. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. Bluff or stuff. Time can be quite hard to tell when you've got to read out the numbers digitally. No, I was like three seconds away from being 7.27, so I was like, you know what? You probably just could have rounded up. Round up, yeah. No, I don't want to put people out by a minute.

Every minute's important in the morning. Every minute counts. When you're getting ready for work for the day. Time to play Bluff or Stuff, and joining us this morning to play is Katie. Katie, good morning. Good morning. Now, this prize is a, what's a beautiful?

Parfum. Parfum. For the man in your life, would that be your partner? Yes. Yep, absolutely. It's his favourite parfum as well. Is it? Is it?

Okay. Parco Rabanne. Am I saying that right, Megan? Yeah, you've nailed it, actually. Yeah, okay. All right, so to play. Who's going to start? To win, you've got to guess correctly who is holding the prize up for grabs.

We're all going to say that we're holding it, Katie. So maybe you'd like to start, Megan, because you're definitely not holding it. Okay, says the person who's definitely not holding it. This is 100% gold. Actually, the fragrance on the inside looks like a bar of gold. I don't think it's real gold, though. No. That's my assumption. It's just a really fancy bottle, isn't it?

Yeah. It has a funny way, like squirty on the top of the bottle. We're not here to describe the bottle, Megan. We're here to describe the box. You know that I'm holding it, so I know what's in it. Because the box is just gold. Katie, I can tell you I'm holding the box. It's quite heavy

because it's obviously a big bottle. It's gold. It's 100 mils. Yes, it says right here. 100 mils. Uh-huh. How many ounces is that? Ounces?

3.4 fluid ounces. I can tell you that because I'm holding the box. Megan looks at Megan and had no idea, did she? I didn't know it was written on the box. In Megan's defense, she doesn't know what a fluid ounce is. I didn't know what that meant. I had to Google, and I only know this, do you know how I know this, Katie? A, I'm holding the box.

Let's not forget that. But B, I had to Google how much a fluid ounce was yesterday when I was making some Frosé. Why would you make Frosé when it was raining? Because I bought a bottle of vodka to make a black Russian and I got a free bottle of Froze mix.

And I said to Sharda, I feel like I've got Froze. She's like, not at all. I was like, yep. And ignored her request and made her one anyway. So that's how you know ounces, right?

That's how I, off the top of my head, I knew who it ounces were. I'm just running my finger over the box, Katie. It's embossed. It's kind of, what do you say, raised, the one million. Embossed, does it? Emb, Katie. It's embossed. It's kind of, what do you say, raised?

The one million. Embossed, does it? Embossed, yeah. Embossed. Kind of says raised in its own way. Katie, I can tell you that I've kind of

wrecked the box because I was trying to get the perfume out for a look and a sniff and it's got these little things that hold the bottle in place and I've rammed it back in and the tabs don't rise. So if you get this actual one, apologies.

It's a really great description for someone who's not holding the box. I've wrecked the box a little bit. Katie, I want you now to eliminate one of us. Who's definitely not holding the box? I'm going to eliminate Megan. That is correct. Why did you ask how many ounces were in it? See you, sucker.

All right, so Katie, is it Vaughn holding the box, your prize, or is it me, Fletch, holding the box? Katie, one more piece of information. On the bottom, there's a Flame logo. Is this flammable? Is perfume flammable? Is perfume flammable? Like on a hole? Yeah, I'd say so.

Because I know Lynx is when you're like... Yeah, it is, yeah. Like flamethrower, but... All right, Katie, who's holding it? Can I just ask you what it smells like? Do you like me to spray it for you, Vaughn? Please. Dude, that was a freaking spray.

I don't want to spray your... Sense of a floral leather with solar strength. I mean, what the bullshit is that? Floral leather. I want you to imagine leather made out of flowers and then the smell of the sun. You know what leather smells like, but it's got like floral undertones. It's a really nice. What a soul of strength.

It's a really nice fragrance. Oh yeah, no, it's really nice. And the alcohol is of vegetal origin. What does that mean? Well, it either means it's made of vegetables or it's... Yes. Vegetal. Katie.

Katie, who's holding... That would be vegetal, okay? Yeah. Grower. Grower. Katie, who's holding the vegetable? That's why it smells so nice because of vegetables. I am going to say that Vaughn is holding it.

That is correct. Well, your man's going to smell like the sun when it shines on some floral leather and vegetal floral oils. Congratulations, Katie. Well done. Thank you. I've done a terrible job of describing the scent of this, but it is nice. I've had it before. Yeah, Parker, Ravine, of describing the scent of this, but it is nice.

I've had a rapport. Yeah, Parker, Ravine, perfect for Father's Day. When's that? Not this Sunday? Next Sunday. Don't forget. Well done, Katie. Thank you.

I feel so bad for people that are planning weddings this year because it's just been a whole year of disruption. Maybe it's a sign.

No, it's not a sign. This whole pandemic is a sign that you shouldn't be getting married. No, it's not a sign. It's born to anti-love. No, I'm not. I'm pro-love. No, it's not a sign. This is from a higher power.

This is Thanos. He's saying these two should not be married. We should just have this whole year again. No, thanks. Oh, you mean reset? Like reset. Nah, because we didn't go back far enough. We need to go back to the start of 2019 and go to Wuhan and be like,

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, wash that, ah, ah, don't, no. And hopefully there's some lessons that people were taking out of this. Hopefully. But one of these couples. There's one thing we can almost be guaranteed of, Megan. It's that humanity has not learned anything from this. So one of these couples who have had just an absolute year of it with their wedding. Three weeks into the first lockdown.

Yeah. These two got engaged. They went for a walk around the block. Yeah. And Nick proposed to his girlfriend girlfriend Rachel, got down on one knee on one of those lockdown walks. Did he have a ring pre-lockdown? So when everyone else was panic buying toilet paper

and stuff, Nick had raced out to get an engagement ring. Oh wow. Because he was like, okay this is happening. So they got engaged and then they set the wedding date for the 14th of August, which of course is lockdown.

Yeah. So they were postponed and instead of letting it ruin their wedding day, and this is a perfect excuse because so many people, once you start planning, you're like, this is hard. Everyone's getting involved. I just want to elope. Everyone says maybe we should just elope. And they had that moment, they

thought, well, maybe we could just elope. And this was a perfect excuse to do it without offending anyone. They got married in Auckland City. There was a videographer, a photographer and a couple of witnesses. Because you're allowed, in level three, you're allowed that, aren't you?

Can you have 10 people? Yeah, 10 people or less. 10 people or less. What is it at level two? Wedding, wedding, weddings. 100 people. 100, yeah. Right, okay.

Yeah. So they just had a small gathering. She had the dress and they had the suits and stuff and she had some flowers. Right. They went and got a cake from the cheesecake shop. Yes! What did they get?

It doesn't say. Out of all of these details that's what you want to know. That's poor journalism. I want to know what they had. Did they have the mango one? Because that's great. The mango passion

and it's got the swirl on the top. When people go to the cheesecake shop and they get like a sponge cake. Yeah, don't go to the cheesecake shop for a sponge cake. Get a cheesecake. God. I hope they got a cheesecake.

But it doesn't specify sadly. This is the most passionate you've been about anything this morning on the show. And then you've finally woken me up. Passion fruit cheesecake, that's a great choice.

It's great. It's a mango-y, passion-y deliciousness. And then you're like, ah, shall we just get half a cheesecake? And then you do the quick maths in your head

and it's only bugger all more for the full. So you may as well. So you go for the full. Always go for the full. Chuck a couple of candles in that bad boy. So just downtown Auckland

they get married in level three. During, yeah, level three. How long have they been together? Because the last lockdown he proposed. So, I mean, not that I want you to focus on this, but they were together at least in a month when he proposed, officially together. Huh.

Hmm. That's the sort of person that goes to the cheesecake shop and buys a cake, not a cheesecake. Maybe it's because it's traumatic times and people make... No, that is absolutely no reason to rush into marriage. Traumatic times. Maybe they just know. It happens to some people.

If they can put up with each other in two lockdowns, then maybe it's meant to be. No, because they still want to be in honeymoon period. You think if you're ever going to be in lockdown with somebody, you want it to be in the honeymoon period. Yeah, true. So just be hooking up the whole time. Oh, it says here

they got a passion fruit cheesecake from the cheesecake shop. Yeah, there you go. Okay, they were right by me. They've won me over. That's a great distinction. This rushed engagement in marriage that all seems to happen in the space of months. Six months. Yep.

Eight months. Rushed. It's okay by you now. Because I'm imagining they consummated with a belly full of mango cheesecake. I'm wondering if we could open up the phone lines, 0800DARLS at M9696. Is anybody in the middle of planning a wedding? And like, where are you at with it?

Imagine if people have had both lockdowns. You were going to get married first one, and then you changed it to the second one. Do you just push it way out, like a couple of years, and then hope that by then we're sorted? Or do you just, if you've paid deposits. Well, you would have paid deposits, so you delay it, because most places are pretty, you know, forgiving,

given the pandemic. But then, I don't know about pushing it out two years. Yeah. What do you do? Give us a call, 0800DARLS.M. I'd just love to hear this morning from people that are in the middle of planning a wedding. This is your moment to vent. Tell us all about it. What if, yeah. ThisARLS.M. I'd just love to hear this morning from people that are in the middle of planning a wedding and like- This is your moment to vent.

Tell us all about it. What if, yeah, this is a long shot. Yeah, what? And if this has happened, you probably maybe don't want to talk too much about it, but you could flick us a text. If you were supposed to get married, but it's all fallen to bits.

What if you were supposed to get married? You mean the relationship or the wedding? No, the relationship. Oh, okay, right. Like the stress of the initial lockdown, maybe that was a whole lot of, and there was arguments and it just got to the point of no return

and it all fell to bits. Right now though, wanting to know if COVID's ruined your wedding plans because a couple just, heck, they just got married in a park in downtown Auckland because why not? So somebody said some responses we had to our Instagram question box. Is that what we call it?

Yeah. The Instagram question box. Somebody said two and a half years long distance. Decided to make the move to Canada in April, but then couldn't. Because we were going to get married in August. Which? Oh, my God. So that's a double.

You've timed that. I mean, that's a sign, right? No, it's not a sign. I don't believe in the universe sending signs, but I mean, that one's undeniable. We'll get to some calls. Anna, COVID's ruined the wedding plans. We are getting married on the 26th of September.

Okay. Oh, daylight savings weekend too. Yeah, coming up. That's an hour's less sleep. That's important to consider. Yeah. Wow. Okay.

So, heck. And so what are you, at this stage, are you going ahead? Yeah. So we're down in the Wellington region. So we're still full steam ahead at this stage. Just possibly a few less guests and a bit more spacing for everyone, but it's all a bit, shit, oh, sorry. Yeah, no, I bet.

I bet it'd be stressful. So you haven't had to delay it, though? This isn't your second shot? No, so not our second shot. Ironically, we had a long engagement so that my family from the UK could come. Oh, my God. So at this stage, they're not coming?

Are they just going to Skype in? No, absolutely not. No, no way. Okay. No chance. Grandparents, uncles, all staying over there. But that's okay. We still get to get married at the end of the day.

Yeah. But we're holding it all together at this point. Yeah, well, hopefully, fingers crossed that all goes ahead, Anna. Thanks. Yeah, fingers and toes, please. Yeah, good luck. Thanks, guys. Kat, did COVID ruin your wedding plans?

Yeah, a wee bit. Okay. So we were meant to be getting married in February, but my partner's from the States, so none of her family were going to be able to make it over. Oh, no. Okay. Yeah, so we've just decided to go ahead and elope in October,

Dan and Monica. Oh, okay. Well, you'll get amazing wedding photos, I'm sure. Yeah, definitely. Are you going to get any hate from the family, though, because they're not going to get to go to a wedding? They can't do anything about it. Yeah, well, we're still going to have a wedding ceremony in a couple of years,

until the COVID stuff is gone. Yeah. Yeah, but my mum wants to come to the elopement, but we've told her that she's not allowed. No, mum. Yeah, kind of ruins the romantic weekend away, doesn't it? It's not worth eloping, is mum. Hey, thanks for your call.

Sophie, has COVID ruined your wedding plans? Yes, we are getting married March the 6th, and I have two bridesmaids who have both dropped out because they're pregnant and due on February the 14th. We have the third of four bridesmaids who's in the UK and can't make it, and then we've got another 20 overseas guests who won't be able to come either. So we're dropping numbers like flies

and it's becoming very dramatic. So are you just going to cancel or you can't because you've paid deposits? We paid heaps of deposits and I kind of broached the subject with both the in-laws and they were like, hell no, no way, like you can't you need to have your wedding, like they've waited just as long as we have for this.

So how many is left in your bridal party? One in the country. Oh, wow. She's also planning her own wedding. So she's quite like, cool, I'm your bridesmaid, but I'm busy planning my own wedding as well. So, you know, we just need to remember that. Yeah, we just need to remember that we're getting married.

Are you in her bridal party? I don't know yet. I don't know. Because that would actually be helpful. If you weren't, you could just axe her as well and then just have no bridal party,

save on money. You're down on guests. That's also a cost. You know, those are all expensive. Yeah, you are going to save money. That's for sure. And if they're overseas, they'll feel obligated

to send like a gift or some sort of financial thing, but you won't have to pay them. That's brilliant. Yeah, Sophie. And if they're overseas, they'll feel obligated to send like a gift or some sort of financial thing but you won't have to have to pay them. That's brilliant. Yeah, I just see money savings. Making money. Sophie, thanks for your call.

Some text messages to finish. I'm due to get married this Saturday so fingers crossed we find out this afternoon what that's going to look like. I was going to say just fingers for you.

Yeah, no, okay. Yeah, we've had to postpone our wedding because we've got very close family but they're overseas. Somebody asked, oh, I'll tell to say, yeah, no. Okay. Yeah, we've had to postpone our wedding because we've got very close family, but they're overseas. Somebody asked, oh, I'll tell you what, Wanaka's getting a little bit of a elopement.

Might be New Zealand's new elopement capital. Okay. A couple of messages about a Wanaka-based elopement. Well, maybe that's an idea for people in Wanaka listening, is set up like an Elvis chapel. Yes. A little drive-through. There must be an old mate in Wanaka listening, is set up like an Elvis chapel. Yes. A little drive-through.

There must be an old mate in Wanaka who does a pretty decent Elvis impression. Yeah. He could dress up. Yeah, it could become Las Vegas of the South Island. Who wouldn't want that title? Wanaka, probably. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast. ZM, your go-to.

Moo Bo booster song. It's a great intro. That's what today's is. Mood booster song. Mood booster song. It's a great intro. This is a song to boost your mood. What do you turn to?

Do you have a specific song that you turn to? We've done this segment before. What did we do last time we did this segment? Was it sad songs to make you cry? Yeah, crying songs.

to make you cry, yeah. So we thought, given that we are in level three or level two in the country at the moment, and you know, we're waiting for the

Prime Minister's decision this afternoon and maybe it'll be extended. We're feeling sensitive and vulnerable. So we need to boost the mood, especially on a Monday as well. So we want to ask you this morning to give us a call or to text in 0800-DARLS-AT-M 9696 with your go-to song to boost your mood.

That one song that you put on that gets you jazzed. Every time. Once you kind of go down a wormhole of happy songs. Yeah. There's a few, but yeah, if you've got like one that really stands out to you. I do. I just don't think anyone's going to beat my one. Because you can't listen to it and not clap and absolutely get amongst.

I'm ready. Well, one's ready to go. What is it? The Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman. Oh, yeah. This is a good one. A hand clap and a chorus. Like a chorus of people. Great strong star too.

Already. Fletcher's seen this movie so he's like, he looked at me like I'd paused it. You've got to skip to the chorus. This movie does not appeal to me in the slightest. This movie is fantastic. Right, but you could put this on. Yeah, go to the chorus. You've got to skip through to the epic bit. No, because you could put this on. Yeah, go to the chorus.

You gotta skip through to the epic bit. No, because you need that bit at the start where he goes, Ladies and gentlemen. This bit. Oh, not yet. Oh my God, just fast forward it more. We don't have all morning. Oh, it's very epic.

I'll give you that. It's very epic. God, it's a minute 20 till Hugh Jackman starts going. It's building up. Ladies and gentlemen. It's got Zac Efron. It's got Hugh Jackman. going. It's building up. It's got Zac Efron. It's got Hugh Jackman. It's got Zendaya.

Yeah, no, you're right. That's pretty good. This whole soundtrack is pretty chocker. Mine would be Pharrell Happy. Which absolutely doesn't have one. I absolutely hate that song. Pharrell Happy. But isn't it from the minute?

Because I'm happy. Oh, my God. It's like it's forcing you to be happy. I know, yeah. It's a big song. I love Pharrell. But then you put it on and you're just like, okay, it is kind of getting me begrudgingly.

Do you have a go-to song, Vaughn? Wouldn't it be some rock ballad? Well, actually, it's like some. I've got a few. And you're right, rock ballads really tickle my fancy. Yeah, I know they do. This one's been doing it for me lately. I did make a few. And your rock ballads really tickle my fancy. Yeah, I know they do. This one's been doing it for me lately. Miss the Blue Sky by ELO.

Electric Light Orchestra. This was once voted the happiest song of all time. Really? I've said this live. Have I ever mentioned that? Every time that I've ever mentioned ELO, you have mentioned you've seen them live. This part, this part. Imagine me strutting

around to this. Okay, so we want to ask you now to give us a call. 0800 DALS. You can text as well 9696. Doesn't matter what

song it is. Your go-to song. Isn't yours Mr. Brightside? To instantly put you into a good mood. Your go-to song... Isn't yours Mr Brightside?...to instantly put you into a good mood. Your go-to mood booster song. So, go-to songs.

It's our segment and we want to know today, it's not the song to make you cry, it's the song that boosts your mood, that you need on a Monday. Yeah. In these COVID times. Oh, any times. Yes. Any old, just Monday times.

Take some calls. I've got some texts. Yeah, okay. Let's get some mood boosting happening around here, yo. Jackie, what's your mood booster song? My song would be the Pena Colada song. If you like Pena Coladas, that one. And getting caught in the rain.

It's actually called Escape. Brackets. The Pina Colada song. Closed brackets by Rupert Holmes. But isn't this a song about cheating? Yeah, he intends to cheat on his wife. But then it turns out she's also out to cheat on him. And they cheat on each other with each other.

And it turns out they can't be angry because they're both pieces of shit. And then they have a pina colada in the rain. Right, but it's a happy song for you, Jackie. Yeah, but it always makes me laugh

when there's normally alcohol involved. Yeah, okay. Sort of a pineapple-y alcoholic situation. Can we get to the chorus? Champagne. You missed it.

I'm not much. Well, there's no bloody mark. I was like, play here to hear the chorus. Getting caught in the rain. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. He's not into health food. I'm just like, yeah, that's did. Yeah. I'm a legend to health food. Yeah, that's good. I am into champagne. He's not into health food.

He's into champagne. I'm just like, yeah, that's good. That's good. I'm just like smiling. Yeah, that's good stuff. Good, good song. Good mood booster. Leisha, good morning.

Morning. How are you? Good. What's your mood booster? Instant mood booster song. Mine's an early 2000s classic. Okay. Five, Keep On Moving.

Yeah, it's very up-tempo, isn't it, that song? Yes. Scott was my fave. What was this? Is this that? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Is that a sitar at the start, is it? I don't know what that is.

They branched out. Do you know the dance, Leisha? I reckon I still do. I don't, but I know the rap. Oh, really? Okay, well, let's learn the rap and you can prove it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, Leisha, you shouldn't have said that.

You've seen it now. Are you ready? Are you ready? It's Jay. Are you ready? Hit it. Here we go. These bees are dying.

Gotta keep on, keep on trying. All the bees and birds are flying. Ah, ah, ah. I'll stop till the break of dawn and keep moving. Don't stop rocking. Oh, who knows the rat now? I'll give you that. I didn't want it to be, but it was.

But it's a mood-bursting song, isn't it? All right, let's go to Brittany. Brittany, what's your mood-bursting song? Your go-to every time. Don't stop me Now by Queen. Oh, yes. Ah, here we go. We're going to have to stop five.

See, it lulls you into a false sense of that it's a ballad. But you know it's coming. It's Freddie Mercury. Yeah. Should we just fast forward to that bit where it does come? Yeah, that's what everybody says about Queen songs. Freddie Mercury. Yeah. Should we just fast forward to that bit where it does? Yeah, that's what everybody says about Queen songs.

For God's sake, don't enjoy them. Rush it to the park. Universally, Rami Malek only got to play Freddie Mercury because he's like, no one likes to build up, but it's just get to the chorus. Well, not everybody's doing a radio show where they have... Having a good time. Shooting stars leaping through the sky. Oh, yeah, that's good, Brittany. That's good stuff.

That's good stuff. Thanks, Brittany. Vanessa, what's your go-to song every time? Every time, Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight. Oh, yeah, that's a mood booster. That's a mood booster. You don't like it? It's like a mood booster.

Why don't you like it? I'm not even queuing it up. Oh, Vaughan, you have to. I won't. Why won't you? It's overdone. Sorry, Vanessa. You're a walking cliche.

You might as well have said Pharrell happy. I can't even find it. Good, that's because it's not there. You don't need to. I don't take it back. You've won me over. I don't regret my decision. I don't take a bet. Oh, Tanya, you've won me over. I don't regret my decision. Fast forward it to the good bet.

What is it with you fast forwarding it to the good bet? You've got to have that bet. You've got to have that. And then it speeds up. How can that not start like a complete pub? You're right. Yeah, that's a good pub. Let's sing along. You're right. Yeah, that's a good pub to sing along. You're right there.

I like that bit where it goes din, din. You want that bit. And clap at the same time. I like that bit where it goes din, din. Din, din. Oh my God.

Hey, I'm happy that's great. You know that part of that song that goes, boop, boop, boop. Maggie, what's your go-to pick-me-up song every time? I know Megan will definitely be on board with it. It's Wannabe by the Spice Girls. Yeah. Anything by the Spice Girls.

Definitely. What's this? Nonsense. Spice Girls. Definitely. What's this? Don't sing. Yeah, good song. Who wouldn't be on board with that? Yeah. What about Wrong Maggie? Thanks, Maggie. This one comes in by text.

No, so this just reminds me of the, is it a countdown ad? What? Yeah, it's an ad. It's an ad on TV. To countdown, get their hands

on Hall & Oates. No, it's an ad for someone. Yeah. An ad will ruin a song, eh? Yeah. Is it countdown? I feel like it's a supermarket.

This is still a bop, though. Is it? What did I say, bop? Other texts? Um... Shania Twain. Somebody said N.S. Shania Twain. Man, I feel like a woman. But Man, I feel like a woman. That, yeah. It's this bit.

Bow, bow! Let's go, girls. Okay. My mum still says that to me all the time in Shania's voice. The shit is, she's a let's go girl. Justine, what's your go-to

pick-me-up song that you love every time? It has to be Poirier. Oh, yes. It's meant to be a rousing song. We've got to play

The podcast. ZM. Fact of the day It's all thanks to Save My Back In helping you borrow money online And growing your credit score at the same time So we're going to ask you a question about this fact of the day At midday

$500 up for grabs And then again at 4 o'clock Today's fact of the day is about lions and the fact of why we call lions king of the jungle because lions don't live in the jungle, apart from a brief stint when he was hanging out with Timon and Pumbaa and eating bugs and grubs. He never lived in the jungle.

Lions don't live in the jungle. They live in the savannah. Right. That's true. And we call them the king in the jungle. Lions don't live in the jungle. They live in the savannah. Right. That's true. And we call him the king of the jungle. Well, I have the reason. And today's explanation is today's fact of the day. Okay.

The word jungle is a word that has its roots in the Hindi language. Right. It's one of those borrowed words. We're like, like that. Think about that. But it was, the word was actually jangle. Right. Which can mean forest or wasteland.

Okay. So wasteland is more of fits what the savannah is because there's no jungle. It's massive open plains, predominantly grass. And they live there because they feed on the things that eat all the grass in the wasteland or the, you know, grassland. Yeah. So they were there because they feed on the things that eat all the grass in the wasteland or the grassland. So they were called the king of the jungle.

But jungle meaning waste like savannah. Right. But then when we took jungle for forest and said jungle because of the type of subtropical, tropical forestry that was around India. Yeah. In that area. We took the word jungle, but that also, they'd been calling lions king of the like plain lands. Right. Which also is the word.

So we say it should be king of the jungle. This is a lot to explain when someone says king of the jungle and I'm like, actually, it's king of the jungle. Yeah, jungle, the word rooted in Hindi actually could mean forest but it's more likely that it means savannah or wasteland. And then they just look at you

like, cool. And then they start talking to you and you've achieved what you wanted. Less human interaction. Blow them away with some condescending fact about how they're wrong

and people will stop talking to you. And you can get back to being by yourself. Which, like the lion, quite good. Yeah. As long as you're the male lion, the rest will hang out together. And a pride.

So today's fact of the day is the king of the jungle, more like king of the jangle. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Apparently Zoomers, people who use Zoom a lot, especially this year, are turning to anti-wrinkle injections. I mean, it doesn't have to be Zoom, FaceTime. We're all FaceTiming and Facebook

videoing a lot. We're just seeing our own faces a lot more than usual and people aren't liking it. And apparently injectables are on the rise because they don't like their frowns. Do you think it's because if you Instagram or Snapchat or post, you can edit? You can put Paris on your Instagram story.

Yeah, exactly. Whereas when you're Zooming, you can't do that. Yeah. Like, it's you. But do you think it's because you'd see yourself in the mirror and no filter, but do you think it's because people would be like, you're right? Are you sick today? Are you okay?

Yeah. What do you mean? But is that a problem that people have put this image out there? Because, you know, you're not like, you're kind of, it's in a meeting you might be able to feign interest, but then on a Zoom you're kind of like just daydreaming. And the lighting's always terrible on your webcam. Yeah, but when you look at yourself in the mirror,

you've got like your perfect face on. You don't know what you look like when you frown or when you're talking or when, you know. True. Okay, true. When you're in a business meetingown or when you're talking or when, you know. True. Okay, true. When you're in a business meeting and then suddenly you're like frowning or grumping at someone.

You're like, oh, is that what I look like? So these stats came out from the UK about people getting injectables because they are faced with looking at themselves on Zoom. All the time. Yeah. And they're like, yeah. We thought we would broach the topic in New Zealand.

So from the Skin Institute, we're joined by Dr. Shona Dalzell. Good morning. Good morning. Now, are you seeing the same thing here in New Zealand? Well, Skin Institute certainly has seen a strong response post-lockdown. Whether that's people catching up on their treatments or trying it for the first time, I'm not sure, but certainly it might be the result of spending more time on Zoom. I'm seeing your face all the time.

Do you think there's a rise in younger people getting injectables? We see a range of people, but certainly I think it's becoming more acceptable in New Zealand for younger people to have treatments. But for Skin Institute, for us, it's round about enhancing and allowing people to feel their best self, which is what we aim for. So we just take people as they come and assess them carefully and make sure they get the appropriate treatment. It's all about keeping it real as well, isn't it? So what if someone comes in and they're like, I want my lips bigger, I want this wrinkle. What if their demands are a bit too much?

Well, it all starts with a consultation, doesn't it? And I think if you're with a safe and reputable company, then first we do no harm. So it's most important that we take each individual, see what they want, but also it's assessing what they need and what's going to be most appropriate for them. And I think really that's the most important thing, actually, is actually finding yourself a provider that's going to look after you and make sure that, you know, that you don't look odd,

that you retain your natural beauty and your natural look and keep the warmth and character in your face because each of us are beautiful in our own ways and it's really important that we keep that, that we don't all look the same. Do you see, have you seen, or is there a huge amount of males getting treatments done? Absolutely.

I'm seeing a lot more males in our clinic and certainly, you know, treatment can, males can benefit from treatment as well. So that is an area of growth. Yeah. Is it, because I've heard people say,

oh no, you've got to start before you get wrinkles. You've got to get your preventative thing done. Is that true or is that just like hooking them in? Yes. Anti-wrinkle treatments can be used as a preventive measure, you know, to soften the fine lines and wrinkles as you age. But people don't realise we use it for lots of reasons, including things like excess sweating.

We use it for migraines and teeth grinding. So it has many more uses than just preventing the old line. But we do, it is a way, using it on younger people will help soften those lines and allow for, you know, more natural ageing over time. But it's just part of the treatment, really, because it's not just lines. It's, you know, skin health as well and well-being. How many dollars? How many dollarinos?

How many buckaroos? Well, that really depends. That's where, you know, you have your consultation because, again, everyone is different. It depends on how much you need. Some people have stronger muscles that need more inter-vehicle treatment. Do you pay per jab? You pay by the amount that's used.

Like, oh, shit, Megan. You better start saving. Oh, excuse me! Excuse me! That's so rude. Usually men require more. And everyone for me, I will... They have stronger muscles. That is so rude. Usually men require more. Take that. They have stronger muscles.

I will do as men do and age gracefully. Well, clearly not. Brilliant. That's fascinating. Yeah, what an insight. Shona, thank you so much for talking to us this morning. You're welcome. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

Yummy, yummy. Well, segment of the show, Yummy, Yummy, where we take a look at new foods. Saw these last week online. I was like, what's going on here? I thought it was a joke. Me too. Like, what was that joke?

Flavoured Whittaker's chocolate. Coriander. Oh, yeah. The shapes, that was shapes. Was that coriander shapes? Yeah.aker's chocolate. Coriander. Oh, yeah. The shapes. That was shapes. Was that coriander shapes? Yeah. I think I've seen coriander chocolate too.

Oh, really? Because it's got these very divisive flavours, isn't it? It is. Well, producer Jared saw these at the Supermarché last night. Yeah, and like any good stoner, he was like, yes, please. You guys want some of these? I was going to buy eight packets anyway. But these are Doritos' latest flavour, Doritos Mountain Dew.

But Mountain Dew is just like citrus, right? Like lemony. I haven't had a Mountain Dew for years and years, but I remember it being jazzy. Who still drinks Mountain Dew? Like, when's the last time you ever had a Mountain Dew? Kids? And Zed's most popular

soft drinks. Like, hands down, it'll be Coke. Oh yeah, 100%. 100%. New Zealand's most...

And then you'd go to your Fanta. Do you have a list? Is it an unbiased list though? No, that one's on the Coca-Cola journey.co.nz. They might be somewhat against Pepsi, for example. Because Doritos is owned by Pepsi, isn't it?

And Pepsi is a mountain jury. Is it? Yes. Doritos is the same people, I'm pretty sure. Am I wrong? No, I think you're right. Oh, no. Have you ever seen that graphic online of all the food companies

that are all owned by like five companies? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. No, I can't find. It'll just be like a zesty, a zesty chip. Pepsi Co owns Doritos.

Okay, give it a try, Vaughan Smith. Kazay, lemony. We'll be honest, this is non-spawn. We'll be completely, does it smell like, the smell's not doing it,

the smell's not selling anything. Oh. Well, so has that bag got smaller? It just smells like someone's dropped some Mountain Dew into a bag of Doritos. Well, I guess if you're buying it, you obviously like Mountain Dew, so you want it to taste like... It smells like someone's been cleaning the bathroom and they're just going to have a chip afterwards.

Oh, there's lots of... It's really weird. It's really green. Oh, it's really green. Does it taste like cleaning product? What is that? Give us something. No, I can't. I can't. Every second time I went, it was gross,

but every other time it was okay. It's like... Intermittent gross and okay. It was very confusing. It's like the Doritos are plain flavour and then afterwards it tastes like you've just licked some lemon pledge or something.

That's weird. That's weird. Have they found a way to dry Mountain Dew and put it into a powder? Because it tastes like Mountain Dew powder on a Dorito. Which is good if you're into Mountain Dew, but as previously stated, it's a very sweet lime.

Not really. Yeah, that's a weird, that's a weird. Do you know what it reminds me of? What? Thrifty. Remember the cordial concentrate? Yeah. Thrifty.

The lime. The green one. The lime, yeah, it does. Yes, yes. And it ruins, like, when your parents are like, stop taking the thrifty straight. And you get a little bit and you'll be like, and your whole face will be like. You can't dip that in a salsa, though, could you? It's too sweet.

I don't know if there's a lot you can do with that. Do you feel like it's like the Lamington chips that came out? It's more of just a gimmick. You buy it just to try it. You're not buying that again. The flavour's staying with me. It's more of just a gimmick. You buy it just to try it. You're not buying that again. The flavour's staying with me. It's not getting any better. I need a drink of water.

I need something to wash it down. What do we give that out of five? One. I was being kind. One. I can't get rid of the aftertaste either Doritos need to bring out a pickle flavoured chip All about the pickle flavoured everything

Alright
