Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast.

It's just Fletch and I again today.
Yeah.
So, I mean, you'll find this out during the podcast,
but Vaughan does message in during the show
with his COVID results,
but then also sets the scene for another day off by saying he doesn't have
much voice.
Yeah.
So he did get a negative test, so he doesn't have COVID.
Which I get.
Yeah, it's good news, isn't it?
But yeah, he did say he's got no voice.
We are just going to see how much.
That's a weird ring, isn't it?
Is it a funny ring?
Hi. Oh, that sounds like you've got a voice i've got a voice yeah you sit on the group chat you're like oh i don't have much of a
voice i got more of a voice now that i've had a morning coffee what number is this that you're
calling from a sneaky number it did a weird ring how did we do this have you're calling from? A sneaky number. It did a weird ring.
How did we do this?
Have you got a little trick?
Have you got a... Anna's got an executive intern.
She's got a workaround.
You're on the podcast intro, Vaughn,
so you don't need to watch your P's and Q's.
Oh, no, okay.
I was just like, what number is this?
I said to Shaddaa,
quit Google this number before I answered,
but that didn't Google it.
Nothing came up before I answered.
Well, amateur hour. You never yeah cause you don't know no but what if it's like
what if i've won something yeah that's true how often has that happened not very often but i
entered lots of competitions so you know yeah right okay well they no no covered for you and
the family yeah we're covered free we're a COVID free household, which is great.
I'll tell you what though, from a guy who's had three of these tests now,
if you're in West Auckland, go to the Massey drive-thru.
What a gentle swabbing.
Oh, really?
Almost a pleasure.
Almost orgasmic.
Oh, okay.
Really?
What was better about it? Was it a thicker or a skinnier? Skinmic. Oh, okay. Really? What was better about it?
Was it a thicker or a skinnier?
Skinnier.
Oh.
Unless like, because the first one I had was at the very start.
Like, remember when I, like at the start of COVID, what was that?
April 2020?
Yeah.
I had, and that was a big thicker.
That was a big thick bad boy.
Yeah, right.
I had a schnoz, But I was really blocked up.
And then the second time,
it was again sick but very dry.
Yep. But yesterday
was just small,
smooth.
Lubed up. Hardly touched the sides
by the sound. Shardé had
her first and she said she felt
wetness on the swab.
So it may have some sort of lubricant.
Or she's
quite snotty though, eh?
Well, they accidentally used
one.
They used one that they'd already used.
That was the car before yours.
So she's got
bloody COVID alpha, beta,
kappa, delta. All of them.
Yeah. Yeah.
Fantastic.
All right, well, will we see you back tomorrow on the show?
The listeners are demanding you.
I hope so.
Well, the sexy wheelbarrow, you know.
What's the wheelbarrow without the wheel, you know?
Just had a couple of coughs for that sick day tomorrow.
Now, people are wondering if it has anything to do with the PlayStation game
being released yesterday.
Oh, what got released yesterday?
I don't know.
Something I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff.
Oh, no, I wasn't aware of any game being released.
I put up a paid post on my Instagram for PlayStation,
and everyone thought I'd taken the day off to do a paid post.
No, absolutely.
Those things take weeks to do, don't they?
Yeah, a lot of back and forth.
PlayStation, by the way, got a capital S on the station,
and that's worth editing a video for.
So if you could just remember that going forward,
that'd be really great.
Okay, lovely.
All right, well, restart.
Have a lemon, honey.
Have you tried that?
Slam in them.
Slam in them.
Okay, you'll be in our prayers tonight.
You and Duncan Garner.
You wouldn't know how to pray.
Yes.
You just look up, don't you?
Put your hands together.
You score a try and you look up.
Thanks, Jesus.
I think your type looks down.
Oh, yeah, because we're going down there. By the way,
that's going to be a fun place. You should come too. Way better.
Way better. I'm looking into it. Yeah, way
better. Yeah, good.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning. Welcome to the show.
Fleeche, morning, Megan. Happy Wednesday.
Vaughan still sick
at home, just waiting to see if he has the Duncan Garner strain of COVID-19.
Just waiting for his results.
Well, he's doing the home isolation, isn't he?
Yeah.
The old Garns.
Yeah.
Like a lot of people are in the country at the moment.
But, yeah, well, kids have gone back to school,
so it just sounds to me like the flu.
But you can't say these days,
you can't say just come in and stop bloody
faffing about at home
blowing your nose into hankies.
You can't say that anymore
because we're in the middle of a
pandemic.
Yeah.
Harden up and come into work.
You're not allowed to do that.
No, you can't do that anymore.
No.
It's frowned upon.
Coming up on the show today,
lots of chances to win.
We're kicking off at 8 o'clock.
The Justin Bieber ticket blitz.
So we've announced he's coming later next year, 2022.
The ticket blitz every hour until 5 o'clock from 8.

So listen out for that activator.

We've got that to give away before seven this morning.
So listen out for the activator to win that.
$500 cash perfect in time for Christmas.
Like free Christmas presents.
Yes.
Next on the show,
you're going to talk about online dating.
Yes, I am.
And how to make it more efficient.
That's what it was.
I could see your face.
You had no idea.
How to make online dating more efficient.
You really pulled a Vaughn there.
Vaughn's not here to appreciate it.
That's why I did it.
Just in case you were missing him.
I'm not on dating apps, obviously, but my bestie is.
And I know that she finds it draining.
A lot of them are on and off and on and off because you put so much effort in.
Yeah, it's a lot of effort.
Does she run them past you?
Does she screenshot and send you the hot ones?
Yeah.
For a yes or no?
Sometimes we do it together.
I've never replied.
Have I?
Oh, no, I have replied for her.
That's pretty fun.
Yeah.
Well, that's catfishing, but okay.
But I know she, But I know you put effort
into talking to them online and then it fizzles out and then you're like, right, I've got to start
again. Yeah. I can imagine that would be so draining. So I've got five tips on how to make
it more efficient and how to not waste your time doing online dating. So first of all, know which
app you want to use and which one fulfills your needs.
So obviously there are ones that lean more towards hookups.
And then there's ones that lead towards long-term love.
Yeah, like Grindr or Tinder.
Long-term love.
Yeah.
100% for both of those.
So there is a lot of apps and you can do some research. Obviously I'm not going to go
through every single
psyche of each dating app
but there would be ones that are
more suited to you and what you're looking
for. Don't put
too much time or effort into
online chemistry because apparently
online chemistry has zero correlation
to in real life chemistry.
Well yeah because you can be chatting to someone and then you meet them and it's just not, there's no spark there, is there?
Yeah. So there's a whole lot of things that lead you to be attracted to someone in real life.
And that can be completely lost when you're chatting online.
Also, apparently if you leave it too long, you create this image in your mind of what they are and who they are.
And so it's harder for them to live up to it in real life.
When you actually meet them in real life.
So what's the key to that?
Just kind of chat to someone quickly.
See, there's some kind of like, yeah, we've got banter.
And then try and meet quickly.
Yes.
Right.
Now, they are suggesting that you should do a quick video chat before you meet up.
Oh, who likes that?
Because that's like a phone call and I'd be like, oh.
Yeah, that would be awkward.
But again, you get something from the phone call that you don't get from the chat.
And then you can kind of see, okay, well, this isn't actually going to work out.
And you also know you're not going to turn up and be on an episode of MTV Catfish.
Yes.
But don't say that when you're requesting the video call.
No.
I just want to make sure I'm not being catfished by you.
There are 36 famed icebreaker questions.
If you think that when you're going to meet or like before you meet, you're going to be stuck, try one of the 36 questions.
What are the 36?
What are they famed for?
Okay.
I'm going to go find.
Okay.
So do you want me to go through some of them?
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know if this site's going to let me because it wants me to subscribe.
Oh, that'd be right.
But questions like that aren't your standard, do you like cats?
Yeah.
Or do you like dogs?
I keep trying to click on it and then quickly see it before it asks me to subscribe, but I can't.
Yeah.
No, there's a list of 36 questions.
Okay.
That you can use as icebreakers.
I get like kind of caught up with small talk.
I can't do it very well.
In my mind, I'm like, say, ask them back the question that they just asked you.
Is it the 36 questions that lead to love?
Yeah, hit us.
36 questions.
Well, I'm going to Google to find a way around the paywall.
Okay, cool.
And the last one, these are tips to make your online dating a little bit more efficient.
Many people who make bad profiles are actually pretty awesome dates.
They just struggle to make a good profile that caught your eye.
So don't make too many assumptions when you're skipping through people.
If you're reading their profile and like, no, stupid bants.
Maybe they just were a little bit caught up and didn't know how to write and sell themselves
very well.
I found the 36 questions.
Someone's made a PDF that's not on the paywall.
Okay.
Have you ever found a dead body?
No, I'm kidding.
That's not one.
What do you value most in friendship?
Is there something that you've dreamed of doing for a long time?
Why haven't you done it?
These are really heavy.
Yeah.
Okay.
What else is there?
God, if someone came into a date with that, I'd be like, is this a job interview?
What about this one?
If someone said this to you on a date, if you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
She's like, now, did your parents do a shit job?
What do we need to fix here?
Do you have some issues?
Would you like to be famous?
In what way?
Oh.
Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse
what you're going to say
and why?
Because I don't like
making telephone calls.
When did you last sing
to yourself
or to someone else?
This morning.
All the time.
If you could wake up tomorrow
having gained
any one quality
or ability,
what would it be?
Oh.
See, I'd have to write these down
and then they'd see me looking.
But I guess the point is just ask questions
that aren't a little bit, yeah.
And then, yeah, you've got some,
your pants, right?
Right.
And you get to know like
what things to look out for,
what baggage they've got from their childhood.
But basically, just save some time
if you're online dating.
Yeah.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
Well, a couple is upset at Ryanair,
the budget carrier in the UK and Europe.
They were flying to Spain.
They had a Spanish holiday.
This was in October.
And it's in the news
because they're kicking up a stink.
They still haven't got a refund.
What do they want a refund for?
So they booked flights to Seville
and this couple got on the flight.
They landed and their phone said,
welcome to Greece.
And Seville is in Spain.
And so they had boarded the wrong plane
despite their boarding pass saying...
Spain.
Spain.
And their seats,
their seats must no one must, someone must,
their seats must have been empty.
There's a whole series of events.
Yeah.
And there are multiple people that check.
How does that happen?
I was going to say,
Rhinies, if you've ever flown Rhiney
or on an OE or a holiday,
it's not like you're at the,
most of them don't go from gates at airports.
You've got to go to some bloody tin shed
and then they kind of lead you out.
Have you flown right in?
I've flown right in.
It's not like, it's not like, yeah,
it's not like when you're in the airport
and the sign above the boarding door says, you know,
Spain or whatever.
Oh, okay.
It could quite easily happen.
But when you're getting on board
and the flight attendant looks at your boarding pass,
they're checking the flight attendant looks at your boarding pass,
they're checking the flight number, right? Also, they're probably saying our flight time to Spain or whatever.
And you'd be like, oh, hang on, that's not us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a little bit on them, right?
Who, Ryanair?
Well, both of them.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, are you checking you're in the right line?
Are you checking it's the right gate?
But also, did they holiday in Greece?
Because I mean, it's not as if you went somewhere cold and yucky.
So their flight landed in Zakynthos.
Zakynthos.
Zakynthos.
Yeah.
Zakynthos, which I know is a Greek island.
Yeah.
And it is, I'll show you some photos.
It's where that shipwreck is that everyone posts on Instagram.
Oh, wow.
I know.
Beautiful.
It's gorgeous.
And there are videos people will, like, base jump and do bungee swings in there.
And, oh, my God, it looks amazing.
Yeah, see, I mean, you landed in paradise.
Yeah, but they wanted to go hiking in Spain.
And so they went up to the Ryanair staff at the airport and they laughed at them
because they thought the situation was funny.
I think I'd laugh too.
I mean, it's quite funny.
You thought you were going to Spain and now you're in Greece.
Hi.
But the next flight back wasn't for four days
and they only gave them a night's accommodation.
But I think I'd just make the most of it
and I'd go to that beach.
100%.
But yeah, they're out of pocket, they reckon,
because they had to pay for the hotel.
I'm guessing they had already paid
for their Spanish hotel and accommodation
and that was kind of gone and wasted.
And yeah, they're still yet to hear from the airline.
This is what gives me anxiety about flying.
So many things that can go wrong.
Yeah, but you've got to roll with it, right?
Yeah.
And you're in the Greek islands.
It could be worse.
Way worse.
624, next on the show, a way to cut down your wedding list.
Yes.
And it's not having a second wedding, because I notice your second wedding less guests.
Much smaller.
Yeah.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Two out of three couples, and this is the conversation you definitely have along the planning stage.
Of a wedding.
Yeah.
You're like, yeah, you have an idea.
And then when it comes to budget and then the dramas, your idea somewhat changes.
But two out of three couples get out of inviting unwanted guests by having a destination wedding.
Yes.
That's how you trim the fat.
Because it's a lot of money to get to a, I mean, it's not something you can pull now, though.
Oh, no.
At the moment.
You can't.
You're going to have to.
But then even then, you could put a wedding off.
Oh, God, it'd be so stressful having a wedding at the moment.
It's a great way to.
An upcoming.
Get rid of unvaccinated people.
Mind you, you have to be vaccinated to go to a wedding, right?
Well, ye, because it would be X amount of people and the venue that you're having it in would probably have a requirement
for you to be vaccinated.
Yeah.
So most people say the ideal number,
the perfect number of wedding guests is 56.
But if you were having a destination wedding,
you'd be lucky to get that, right?
Yeah.
I definitely wouldn't have 56 friends
that wanted to travel.
How many did you have at your last?
Oh yeah, I wouldn't have 56.
I wouldn't even have 100 friends.
No.
I believe our last one was something like 48 people.
It was a good amount too.
Yeah.
Perfect amount.
Because the first one was just over 100.
Yeah.
And you spend the whole time trying to catch up with everyone.
But yeah, 48.
It was just like a nice number, close people.
Because the first wedding, there's a lot of people
on the guest list I don't even talk to anymore
and then the second wedding
you were one of the few people who actually
went to both.
Yeah. Including my
family. That's about it.
It's a unique club that one. Yeah.
But it's an ideal way to trim the fat off the guest list.
Yeah but then that also can
backfire because I had a bit of sass once when I didn't go to a destination wedding. It's like what way to trim the fat off the guest list. Yeah, but then that also can backfire
because I had a bit of sass once
when I didn't go to a destination wedding.
It's like, what do you expect?
It's hours away on a plane.
No, you can't.
If you're going to do a destination wedding,
you can't be angry if they don't come.
Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan.
Well, if you've ever thought,
I'm spending way too much time on my phone.
I've spent maybe an hour on TikTok.
That's gone by quickly.
I'll put my phone down.
Maybe I'll watch TV.
Yeah.
Well, now you can TikTok on TV, on your smart TV,
because they've been trialling an app in Canada on a smart TV platform,
and it's rolling out on Google TV,
Android TV devices, as well as smart TVs from LG and Samsung.
That's good.
But how will you – will you just use the remote to like –
Like scroll through.
Yeah.
I guess the down arrow.
And then you could literally just leave it on in the lounge
and it would probably just go forever.
Yeah.
But have you never – I don't know if this is
gonna make me sound lame but screen like shared your tiktok to your tv and like watched it with
your mates no people definitely do that yeah i'm not the only one just for entertainment yeah
because you know like you can sit on tiktok on your phone sitting right beside your best mate
and then you're like ha ha, look at this one.
But if you put it on the TV, you just watch it together.
Well, now you don't have to do that.
You don't have to screen share.
So good.
It's so entertaining.
Like if you can't decide what to watch on TV.
Yeah.
I'm so happy about that.
Well, don't you have a Samsung?
Yes.
There you go then.
Yeah, perfect.
Do it at a party.
It's fun.
It's more way to waste time.
And it won't show up
on your screen time
at the end of the week.
It won't be your screen time.
Yeah.
That is a great loophole.
And your partner won't be like,
are you on TikTok again?
Because you'll be on TikTok together.
It's great.
Yeah.
This can only be a great thing for us
and humanity.
Yeah, definitely.
Absolutely.
You can see no downside.
ZDM's Fletchbourne and Megan.

Oh, I think I'll go the top, thank you.
The top.
So, Ash, your bottom.
Okay, let's see what it works out here.
Did you just...
I got crumbs on my finger, so I licked my finger.
But I'm going to eat this one afterwards
because I've touched it.
That's, you know,
just the rules.
Here we go.
All right.
I've chosen a really thick one.
Wait, who was...
Wait, Ash was bottom,
Anna's top.
Okay, yep.
Ah!
Anna,
it's top.
Anna wins!
$500, Anna. top. Anna wins. $500.
Anna, well done.
Ash, you don't go home empty handed though, Ash.
We've got a bucket of cookie time.
Christmas cookies for you as well.
Just what's left of this one.
No, we'll give you a fresh bucket.
Yum.
Do not talk with your mouth full.
Really good. Really, really good. Mmm, yum. Do not talk with your mouth full. Really good.
Really, really good.
Yeah, they are great.
There's not many left in that one.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
Now, I don't want to freak you out that it's 30 days till Christmas,
but you should start your Christmas shopping if you haven't already this week,
purely because Black Friday sales.
Get in now.
Yeah, so a lot are actually starting or have already started this week.
Yeah, a whole week of sales.
Starting Thursday or Friday.
Good time to get in
and also because, you know,
shipping's going to take a while.
Well, if you're ordering anything online,
you're really rolling the dice, aren't you?
Yeah.
But Amazon has actually released a list.
I say list.
It's like a picture,
like an infographic.
It's like a... Grid. A infographic. It's like a grid. A grid.
Yes. Very aesthetically pleasing. It's the most loved gifts. There is about a hundred
gifts on this page. So you can scroll through and even if you don't buy from Amazon,
this is a great. I just Google it and buy it here. Yeah, buy it somewhere else. Find a store in New Zealand that has it. It's not even specific to one item.
So it's got like categories.
So the fun furry slipper,
and then it's got a whole bunch of ones.
These are like great idea starters.
I like the bagel guillotine.
But like, who's...
That's definitely a gift.
I mean, you could use the knife.
You could use the knife. I mean... You could use a knife. You could use a knife.
I mean, yeah.
You could use a knife, but then, hello.
It's very chic looking.
A bagel guillotine in your kitchen, pretty cool.
But yeah, I loved it because you can scroll through
and there's like so many ideas.
Yeah.
You're just like, that is perfect for mum
or that is perfect for dad.
The Luxe Bed Care Kit with a chic little wooden comb
is really cute, but there's heaps of ideas for
kids. There's like the top
toys. If like you're
wanting for nieces and nephews and you don't really know
what they're into, there's the top toy gifts.
There's, yeah, just a whole
range of different things and
categories so you can be like, okay, well that's a great
idea for mum. I'm going to Google it and buy local
if you want.
Good idea, yeah. So how do
you find that list? Just search
Amazon's top 100 gifts?
Customers most loved gifts. Yeah, top 100
I'm sure. So is it based on like
reviews or sales?
Or a bit of both?
It's got the stars, so I guess it's reviews.
Right, okay. And I guess popularity
of what everyone's buying on
Amazon at the moment.
All right.
But you go to gift ideas lists and yeah, this one is very comprehensive.
ZM's Flesh Worn and Megan.
Play ZM.
We want to know if anybody listening now has hurt themselves,
injured themselves, but had to power through the pain to get through, I don't know, like a special event
or they were just like, I've got to go through with this.
Yeah.
Despite having, I don't know, like a broken arm or something.
Like international cricketer, Marty Guptill.
He powered through a broken toe.
So it's been revealed that he played most of the World Cup with a broken toe.
Now, if you don't know, Marty has a one foot, two toes.
Well, they call him Marty Two Toes.
I believe it was a forklift accident when he was like a young teenager.
So he got a, you call it a delivery, eh?
Yes, you do.
When they bowl it.
Yeah, I should have just gone with it.
He received a delivery onto his big toe.
Ouch.
At like 130 Ks or something, I'm guessing.
Flush on his big toe and cracked it.
Now, that was from the Pakistan match.
So he played seven games after that.
Why?
With a broken toe.
And what did they just inject him or something?
He said painkillers.
I don't know if it was injections or just a couple of panties.
A couple of panties.
A couple of panties.
Goes to see the team doctor.
I'd like two panties, please.
But he knew something was up because when it initially happened,
he was in a lot of pain and then got through six or seven more overs
and then couldn't run anymore.
But like power would through.
You're like, oh.
But you're at a World Cup.
You don't want to be like, I'll sit this out.
I'll go home.
Even after when they told you that your toe's broken,
he's like, well, I've just got to carry on, don't I?
I've just got to carry on, yeah.
Just give me the good drugs.
Yeah.
Power through the pain.
What a machine.
I know.
And essentially on one toe too.
Yeah, I don't know how that is for like balancing.
Do you just start falling over?
The pressure would be on his big toe and now that's compromised.
So we want to know if you've been in the situation where you hurt yourself,
you injured yourself and you powered through the pain.
Maybe because it was a big special occasion.
Like maybe, I don't know, you broke your leg before your wedding.
And you were like, we can't go to the A&E now. I've got to get married.
Do you want the crutches? I'm not going down the aisle
in crutches. I'll just...
Wheelbarrow me down.
Or something. When did you power
through? Yeah, give us a call.
Talking about those times you have powered
through an injury. Maybe
you've hurt something, you've broken something,
but it's a big occasion.
You can't sit this one out.
You've got to go through with it.
Cricketer Marty Guptill, two toes Marty, was down to one toe.
Broke his toe from a full-on delivery.
And basically still played every match in the World Cup
where we made it to the final.
He's an absolute machine.
Yeah, some of these are literally making me cringe.
So when did you power through the pain? Someone said I shattered
the ball of my foot while teaching
a dance class. It was in nine
pieces and I carried
on
on it for nine months. What kind
of dance is that? Was it like a river dance?
Really ran
the hill down. I hope not.
Someone said
I work on a high country sheep station.
We were lambing, so I went out to check on the ewes.
One was having trouble.
I couldn't pull it in by myself, so I tried to lift her onto the back of my truck.
I hurt my back.
But, you know, got to keep checking the girls.
So, kept going around lambing ewes, bending over, lifting them up, pulling the lambs out.
Turns out I displaced a disc in my back and powered through for three
more days lambing before I was like, oh no,
the pain.
Yeah,
they'll be heavy. Heavy girls.
Sabrina, when did you power through
the pain? So it wasn't me,
it was my partner.
Because we live in Whanganui, so
he had driven to Wellington
to play paintballing.
Okay.
Yeah.
And he slipped down a hill and landed on his hand, and he thought he had dislocated his hand,
so he actually got his friend to pull his hand to put it back in place.
That's not a proper diagnosis.
No.
So he could carry on playing.
You're in the field, though, aren't you?
It's war.
You've got to carry on playing. You're in the field though, aren't you? It's war. You've got to carry on.
Yeah, so he carried on, drove all the way back to Whanganui
and found out that he had, well, snapped his hand
and he obviously made it worse by pulling it.
And he had to have three surgeries and two years off work.
Two years?
Yep.
Oh, my God.
Because his friend basically made it worse.
Yeah. Just so he could get back to
paintball. Oh my God.
Was it his shooting hand or did he
go back to the other hand?
No, it was the other
hand. Oh wow, so he could keep
shooting. Yeah.
Oh my God, that's amazing. Sabrina,
thanks for your call. Jen, when did you power through the pain? Morning, that's amazing. Sabrina, thanks for your call.
Jean, when did you power through the pain?
Morning, guys.
Morning.
Morning.
Hi.
It wasn't me, it was my dad.
The day before my wedding, he fell off a ladder, broke his ankle.
Oh my God, were you like dead?
He didn't tell anybody.
He completely powered through, walked me down the aisle with a big fat foot, spilling out
of his shoe from how swollen it was.
And then in the evening, I just saw him kind of crumpled up in a corner
just in a world of pain.
And I was like, Daddy, you all right?
And he said, no, I broke my ankle.
But he powered through not to ruin the day.
He knew he couldn't ruin the day, though, didn't he?
He knew he'd be in trouble.
He knew I'd be a bridezilla, so.
Nice.
Amazing.
Jen, thanks for your call.
Byron, when did you power through the pain?
So 20 minutes before my wedding, I got into a car crash.
Oh, my God.
And I went from that car crash to my wedding with three broken ribs, a ruptured spleen,
and after the wedding, went to the hospital, had to have my spleen removed and one of my kidneys.
How hard was it to say, I do?
It was quite hard.
Yeah.
And they all looked at me like, are you okay?
I'm like, yeah yeah just had a car accident
but I'll get this over with
and then
Jesus
I mean there's a lot of money involved
you know
you don't want to like
cancel on the day
no
yeah
where people were like
oh have you had regret
you're having second thoughts
you don't want to go through with it
you seem sheepish
yeah
it's been what now
three years since we've been married.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Well, there you go.
Good commitment.
But again, like the dad before, you don't want to ruin the big day, the Brian's big day.
No.
Get on with it.
Nope.
Exactly.
All right.
Byron, thanks.
You call some messages in.
Some of these are literally like so full on.
I completely snapped two of the main
ligaments in my right ankle.
Worst part was that when I finally went
to the hospital, I was misdiagnosed
and I had to work
on it for two months until I got a
proper diagnosis. After
you snapped two ligaments.
I broke my back in three places
falling off a cow.
A cow? Why were you on a cow? Because I feel like someone's like, do you think places falling off a cow. A cow?
Why was you on a cow?
Because I feel like someone's like, do you think you can ride a cow?
And it turns out the answer's no to that one.
After a month of horrendous pain and still working,
I went and got x-rays and found out I'd broken it in three places.
After a month.
How tough are you that I just get like, I'll get a little sprain and I'll be like, oh, that's it, I'm dying. Yeah.
My dad owned a joinery factory
and was rushing to get a job done.
He held a piece of wood on his knee to drill
a hole in it. You know
where this is going.
He drilled into his knee. I had to put my coffee down.
I was like, okay. He used
masking tape
to tape it up. What an old mate,
but then finally went to go and see a doctor.
I've drilled my leg.
Oh, not even a plaster.
Just some masking tape.
Just need to stop the bleeding, should we, right?
Is there some kind of skin putty or filler?
Selly's No More Gaps?
Yeah, but I don't think that's meant to be skin putty.
It doesn't work for bodies and holes.
Next on the show, with the holiday season fast approaching.
How to avoid being robbed, being burglarized.
And this is from actual burglars.
Someone asked on Reddit, there was some advice about home safety.
And then all of these people that have in their past or presently been burglars,
shared all these amazing tips.
Yeah.
And quite fascinating.
So you've got to think about these kind of things
if you're going away for summer
or when you're leaving the house.
Some of these I would never have thought of.
All right.
Those tips next.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Ex-burglars are spilling the secrets
on how to avoid being robbed.
This was on Reddit.
Everyone asked, where is the one place people should never hide their valuables?
And that's been like actual burglars, people who have in their past burglarized houses
and whatnot have jumped on and given some really good tips on, you know, when you're
going away, especially this summer.
First of all, and some of these do seem a little obvious.
However, people are obviously still doing them.
So I just Googled like New Zealand burglary statistics.
This comes from the Ministry of Justice.
Crime and Victim Survey for 2020 reveals over the past three years,
the number of burglaries per household fell.
So in 2018, it was 18 per 100 people.
That's a lot, eh?
Yeah.
And then in 2019, it was 16 per 100.
And in 2020, 14 per 100.
Wow.
So that's still a lot of burglaries
and a lot of victims of burglaries in New Zealand.
You probably wouldn't have been burgled, right?
Because you're in an apartment.
Well, I'm in an apartment.
Yeah, it's way up.
But then I've had a friend who lived in an apartment
on the ground floor,
but people still followed people through like two locked doors,
climbed in a window.
And I was like, how did you get robbed?
You're in an apartment.
So yeah, you just think you think, it's possible for anyone.
Yeah.
So first of all, and again, these are things that burglars,
they've shared tips on what to avoid.
Don't leave anything valuable inside your car,
especially if you've gone away because they look in the cars,
even if they're not going to burglarise your house.
I feel like when I did have a car and I'd moved to Auckland
and I'd just leave things in the car because I was just naive.
I thought people weren't still, people are nice.
And then it only takes you getting broken into once,
you're like, leave nothing in the car.
And even when I had an 86 Holden Barina that was a real piece
and there was nothing in it and they still broke into it
and took my shitty old radio.
So yeah, don't leave anything in there.
Be more creative where you hide your spare key.
Even if this is obvious to you, maybe you can tell mum and dad.
Don't put them outside under those rocks.
It's not a rock.
Oh, look, it's a rock.
There's nothing in there and it's hollow and inside's your key.
Under a pot, under the doormat, top of the doorframe, et cetera, because they look in all of those.
Especially those hollow rocks with the plastic bung, the rubber bung in it.
They don't look like any New Zealand rock ever.
Like they're pretty obvious to spot.
This is a good one.
And I probably wouldn't have thought about it.
If you've just bought something fancy, maybe you bought a new TV.
I know this one.
Could be anything.
Yep.
Don't put the box out.
Yeah.
You put your giant 55-inch Samsung box next to the wheelie bin and you're like.
It's like an advertisement.
It's an ad.
We've just got a new TV.
Look what's inside my house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what should you do?
Just cut down the box.
Break it down.
Break it down.
Yeah, put it in the recycling bin so people can't see.
Yeah.
And that goes for any kind of gadget, big or small.
What about the, I know there's the big one every time it's Christmas holidays,
the police are always like, clear your mailbox or get your neighbour to clear your mailbox.
That's not on the list, but that's a good one.
That's a good tip as well.
Yeah, then you have to talk to your neighbours.
Don't lock any drawers inside your house because if they get in,
those are the drawers that they're going to cut open.
And believe it or not, the little lock you've got on your bedside cabinet.
Oh, yeah, it's not stopping.
It's not going to stop them.
You're just advertising where to look.
Also, if someone had a locked bedside cabinet, what's in there, eh?
You know what's in there.
It's not jewelry.
It's probably not something they're stealing.
Yeah, you're not touching that if you break in and open that drawer.
No. Don't hide your jewellery and stuff in the wardrobe
because that's where they go to find it.
Okay.
But what do people hide it in pockets of things
or just in a box in the wardrobe?
Yeah, I don't know.
Okay, right.
But then you're just like,
oh, where are you going to put your jewellery?
It's still your house.
Lock your house windows is another one because, yeah, they can get in easily.
Lock your shed.
They said, seriously, you lock your house, but you don't lock your shed.
How many tools and expensive things are out there?
And how many spare keys are in sheds?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also on spare keys, they said, do you know how many people, because you're in and
out, right?
So you're going to get what you can.
Yeah.
And then how many people put spare keys and stuff in racks or bowls or anywhere near the
door?
Little ramekins.
They were not going to take your car, but there were the keys.
Yeah.
And now they're going to take your car too.
Well, yeah.
How many people have those little key hooks right by the front door?
Yeah.
Okay.
Once you're in, they can just take that as their getaway car.
Very interesting.
So, yeah, make sure you think about all those things,
especially if you're going away over summer.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
Well, it's out today on Disney+,
Hawkeye starring Jeremy Renner, Florence Pugh and Hayley Steinfeld.
And she joins us on the phone right now. Good morning, Hayley Steinfeld. And she joins us on the phone right now.
Good morning, Hayley Steinfeld.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
I was just saying I wanted to dedicate a good part of this interview
to talking about true grit.
And then Megan said, that's exactly what you did last time.
Oh, no.
Last time I spoke to you.
I think it was for Pitch Perfect.
And I think I just hijacked the whole thing
and we talked a lot about true grit.
So I promise I'm not going to do that this time.
It's a big fan.
Massive fan of True Grit.
Huge fan.
I watched the first episode of Hawkeye and amazing.
I got two for preview, but I had my name and email across it
and I was like, I can't watch this high quality show
with my own name ruining everything.
So I've decided I'm going to wait until, well, today, actually, Thanksgiving,
the release of the first two episodes of Hawkeye.
Very cool.
Congratulations and welcome to the Marvel Universe.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Did you have any prior experience in archery?
I did not.
This was a whole new task, skill I had to pick up on that I was very excited about.
And I was definitely in for it because I had watched enough videos where I thought I like had an idea of what like my form might look like.
And then I got to an archery range and I picked up a bow and arrow for the first time.
And turns out I had a lot to learn. So luckily I had some great instructors to help me along the way. Did you hit the string on your forearm at all?
Oh, that hurts so much. Yeah. Yes, the arm hurt. Oh, you mean from like a mis... Yes,
that happened. Absolutely. Oh, I like had bruises and yeah, it was for sure. And I would go back
and forth from left hand to right hand. So I was a mess.
So have you mastered both or have you figured out which side is your side?
Well, I don't know if I'd say I've mastered both. I actually have better aim when I shoot left
handed. But when I, in the show, Kate has a right-handed bow and Clint has a left-handed.
And you can see it in the trailer and now in this show that I do shoot with both.
So I had to get good enough.
But, yeah, I'm going to stick with I'm right-handed.
So I'll stick with that.
You're probably, like, obliged to say Hawkeye now.
But prior to being cast, who was your favourite Avenger?
You know, I feel like it's so hard to pick one, but
if I had to, Iron Man.
Yeah, okay. Safe bet.
Safe bet with Iron Man.
When was this filmed? This is another thing
now, and I hate doing it, but when I start watching
a show, I'm like, was this filmed in the pandemic? And I try
to work out how it would have been would have been filmed with like COVID
restrictions and everything but when did you guys uh film Hawkeye the series uh we did it this time
last year actually so uh it was definitely challenging had the had the typical challenges
that you face when trying to make a crazy, amazing show. And on top of it,
we were, you know, dealing with a very interesting time as we all have. So it was definitely a
challenge, but we got through it safely. And yeah, we're all very excited that it's finally here.
Awesome. Well, we're just getting a little thing down the bottom saying it's time to wrap up. And
I didn't even get to talk about True Grit. So maybe next time.
Darn.
Maybe next time.
Maybe next time.
Thanks so much.
Maybe next time.
Really loved the first episode.
Can't wait to see the rest.
It's Hawkeye on Disney+.
Thank you, Hayley Steinfeld.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian are doing everything they can to stay in the headlines,
including Pete Davidson walking around Santa Monica on Sunday night with a
hickey on his neck.
Well, do you think that is because some people were calling out the relationship as fake?
Yeah, it was on the same day as everyone's like, this is for publicity.
That's a big, that's a deep, you know, like there's little hickeys, little marks, and
then there's the deep ones, like they were sucking on your neck
for a long time. Yeah.
But like, they're grown.
I know. They're not
teenagers. Am I just being,
like, I've never had a hickey, so I don't
like, see the appeal.
Never ever.
Producers? Obviously,
right? It's not like an accident.
You have to sit there and suck on someone's neck.
Yeah, 100%.
100%.
Yeah, not intentionally.
Can't wait at the social media desk.
I just have very pale skin that bruises quite easily.
That's what I don't understand is how do you unintentionally have one?
Because they've got to be sucking on your neck.
Because sometimes it's funny.
I really feel like I might have missed out.
You simply must.
I think, no, you're too old now.
Yeah, I don't think coming to work tomorrow with a hickey on my neck is going to go down very well.
Oh, could you please, just for the laughs.
I'll pay you.
And maybe if Vaughn's back, no one say anything.
Yes.
I just, yeah.
Why don't you ask Mr. Toyboy?
No, because I still have to, you're all in on the
joke, but then I still have to walk around
you know, outside.
Just get it like under your collar. A scarf.
Yeah, wear a scarf.
Late November. Now's the time, we're still
locked up for another, in Auckland anyway,
we're still locked up for a while. How long did they take to go away?
A few days. A couple days?
And you use some concealer.
You can use some concealer.
Oh, yeah, that definitely works.
I remember having to conceal one for my brother
because he was going to school and didn't want mum to see
and I concealed it up.
But I never had one.
I can't believe you never had one.
No.
I just feel like, I don't know, it's a little bit childish.
You do that when you're, like, young and you're a teenager and you...
Well, sometimes accidents happen, Megan.
I don't see how it's an accident.
He could have covered that up with foundation or...
He didn't want to.
He wants everyone to see.
Not go out.
Yeah, he doesn't care at all, does he?
No, not at all.
We asked a question box on Instagram what happened when you got a hickey?
Don't say the name.
Won't say any names.
I told someone the wing mirror of a train hit me
and they believed me.
No, they didn't.
Because that's a classic one.
Like, oh, it's just, I fell in the doorknob,
bruised my, or a stick.
I went past and a branch hit me.
When have you ever had a bruise on your neck?
Yeah no one believes that. Somebody said my boss at Wendy's Super Sundays made me cover them up
with fluoro yellow plasters. I love when you go to a fast food restaurant and there's a teenager
it's their after-school job and they've obviously got a hickey and they've either covered it up with
like four blue plasters or they
just haven't and it's so funny.
Somebody else said, I left a series
of hickeys around a guy's neck and he was
almost fired. He was
my boss, now we're married.
Also, great ploy
to out a cheater, right?
Accidentally give them a hickey.
Or like just to check that they don't have
a wife at home.
Yes, mark them.
God, you're a psycho, eh?
You're actually,
do you listen to yourself sometimes? That was the first thing
that came to my head
and I was like,
wow, yeah,
that says a lot about me.
He was like,
I'm going to give him a hickey
just in case anyone else is with him.
But, great plan.
Great plan.
Yeah.
Unless they dodged him
for like three days.
Somebody else said,
I'm a teacher.
I told mum I got hit with a toy they threw the kids.
Mum's not believing that.
No one's believing that.
Mum's been around the trap.
She knows.
Also, if you're a teacher and you got a hickey at the weekend,
you would just be sick for the whole week, eh?
Because kids would be absolutely merciless.
Yeah.
Up to a certain age, you'd get away with it.
What's on your neck,
miss?
Um.
Yeah,
maybe if you were like
teaching,
you know,
five-year-olds.
Yeah.
But if you were at a high school
and you had a hickey
as a teacher,
you would just,
oh,
I'd call in sick.
Yeah.
Get a reliever in.
ZM's Fleshworn and Megan.
Play ZM.
We want to know now
if you have a teacher that changed your life.
You remember them.
You remember them.
They said things to you that really made an impact and changed your life.
Supported you.
Because this has not just happened to Megan, but also to now Adele.
Yeah, Adele's one went a bit better.
I had a teacher.
She was wonderful.
She treated me with so much respect.
She gave me guidance.
She treated me like an adult and she listened to me
and we had such a great rapport, Mrs. Lynette.
And then what happened?
And then we got in contact with her like a year ago
and she didn't remember who I was.
I think our executive intern, Anya,
called that one of the best days of her life.
Is that correct?
Do you call that one of the best days of your life?
The funniest?
Yeah, the middle way it came out.
She was so profound for me.
And she doesn't know who you are.
To be fair, there would have been so many kids that have gone through that bloody school.
So, you know.
Well, that's the thing.
They deal with so many kids each year.
Well, this has happened to Adele.
Yeah.
So this was during her ITV concert special, An Audience with Adele.
So there's lots of famous people in the audience.
She took a question from Emma Thompson, the actress,
who asked if there was anyone in her past
who had supported her, inspired her
or protected her from life's trials
and tribulations. And she
mentioned her old teacher.
Yeah, I had a teacher at Chestnut Grove
who taught me English. That was Miss McDonald.
It was just one year, but she was like,
she got me really into literature a lot. I've always
been obsessed with English and obviously now I write lyrics.
She was so bloody cool.
So engaging.
She really made us care and we knew that she cared about us.
Is she here?
Is she here?
She's here tonight.
Oh, I didn't know you were remembering me.
Oh my God, you really, you really betrayed my love.
Mum, Mum, can you believe it?
So it's a little hard to hear at the end,
but the teacher's there in the audience.
And she turns up on stage.
And unlike your teacher, Megan.
She remembered it now.
I mean, you're going to remember one of the world's biggest artists, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, so they had a hug and she was like, I can't believe you're here.
And then they exchanged
numbers and they're going to keep in touch. And what a happy
ending. How wholesome.
Yeah.
Would that be, that would be one of the
coolest feelings ever. If you were
a teacher? If you were a teacher and a kid
like 10 or 15
years down the track said, oh,
you changed my life or something you said to me.
Yeah. Inspired you. If they come to you and they're like, you changed my life or something you said to me. Yeah. That would be like. Inspired you.
Yeah.
If they come to you and they're like, you were so profound for me, just lie and say
you remember them.
Please.
Yeah.
That'd be great.
But we wanted to ask this morning if like Adele or Megan, there is a moment where a
teacher said something to you that changed your life.
Yeah.
Maybe it was one specific quote that you remember.
Or just, yes, just something that was
so, like, yeah, one thing that was said
to you that you always remember.
I mean, maybe change your life's a bit
too, a bit full on.
They might have. Did you ever
have a teacher that changed your direction?
That affected you in any emotional
way? No, no. I mean, I didn't
think so, but I thought I'd ask.
We want to know if you've had a teacher in your life
that you still remember for things they said to you,
for the way they treated you.
Maybe they stood out.
They affected the trajectory of your life.
It's happened to Adele.
She, during her ITV special, had Ms. McDonald
come up on stage as a surprise,
who she remembered and burst
into tears and now they've switched numbers and they're going to keep in touch.
Whereas your teacher didn't want your number and couldn't remember you.
She didn't know who I was.
I didn't ask if she wanted my number afterwards.
She might.
To be fair, how many years going back is that?
A few.
A couple.
And there would have been heaps of kids in the class.
So you're right.
I mean, why would she remember me?
Melissa, what do you remember about a teacher?
Did they change your life?
They did.
Her name was Mrs. Beatty, and she was my teacher when my parents separated.
Aww.
And she just took such good care of me and made me feel valued and loved
and still so important
at a time where I felt really lost.
Oh, that is so nice.
Have you seen her later on in life?
She became my sister's teacher.
Oh, that's cute.
And I connected with her on Facebook for a little while.
Okay.
And she still remembered me.
Did you ever tell her how much of an effect she made on you?
I did.
I did.
That would have been nice.
She was so lovely.
And I was such a daddy's girl.
And so things were rough when I was living with my mum.
I ended up moving in with my dad.
But, yeah, she just, while I was going through that
and learning to live without my dad there every day,
she was just so, so important.
That's so sweet.
I don't know how teachers find the ability
to care so much for so many kids.
Yeah, because the school bell goes off
and you're like, okay.
See ya, go home now.
Amazing, Melissa, thank you.
Rosie, what do the teachers say or how did they change your life? Okay. See ya. Go home now. That's amazing, Melissa. Thank you.
Rosie, what did the teachers say or how did they change your life?
Hey, guys.
I had a teacher that I used to, her name was Mrs. Grant.
She was so cool.
Yeah.
I used to be the first one to school. Sometimes I'd, like, get there before the janitor just so I could hang out with her.
Aw.
Sometimes she'd make me a hilo in the teacher's lounge
and we'd just have like cute little chats.
I remember one chat was when Freddie Mercury died
and we were looking at the newspaper
and we were just talking about how sad it was,
like a normal sort of...
Aw.
Yeah.
It is quite something when the teachers talk to you
like you're an adult, you know?
Yeah. Like, yeah, like you're not a stupid kid. Yeah. It is quite something when the teachers talk to you like you're an adult, you know? Yeah.
Like, yeah, like you're not a stupid kid.
Yeah.
And then just before I left, we moved to Taranaki from Wellington,
and she gave me a send-off.
Like, the whole school was there, and it was just me.
They made this little sort of, like, chair thing that I sat in,
and they sung songs to me, and she gave me a little necklace with a little heart in it
when I left. Aww.
Do you think she knows like how much
of an effect that she had on you?
I don't know. I don't know.
It was so long ago and I was so little.
I was only like nine.
Yeah, but you still remember.
Well, Miss Grant, if you're listening,
you had a massive effect on Rosie.
Rosie, thanks for your call.
Some messages in.
After my dad passed away, I went down a bad path
and my art teacher just said to me the words I always remember,
you're worth more than this.
And it stuck with me.
I like how you're feigning all this.
Oh, no, it is.
It's actually like even affecting my emotions.
Yeah.
It's very sweet, isn't it?
I thought the art teacher was going to say,
I've got some weed.
Because you know art teachers.
My dad's a music teacher
and was the teacher for the lead singer of Stereogram.
He wrote a special thanks to him on that album.
Oh.
Someone said Mr. Jaeger, or Jaeger,
it must be Jaeger, for Form Biology,
said I was struggling and he said, you don't need to understand it all.
You just need to believe it.
And that got me through exams.
But, I mean, that's not going to get you the right answers, though, is it?
That would not have worked for me.
I believe it's C.
Oh, it's B.
Well, I believed it was C.
I had a science teacher, this is a bit different,
in high school who taught us how to make homemade tasers.
Something that stuck with me to today.
Yes.
I mean, they affect us all in different ways.
Well, they're just a good way of teaching.
Yeah.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Fact of the day, day, day,
day, day.
I felt like you hold back
today. You hold back. So Vaughan's
got his COVID test back and he doesn't have
the COVID.
But he's also not here. He could have made it by now.
We said he could have made it by now. There is another
animal that has, other than chimps and gorillas, that has
very close fingerprints to
humans. Dolphins.
You had to think about that for a second,
you were just like,
where are their fingers?
No, not dolphins.
Do you want another guess?
You want me to tell you?
Think of something that has fingers,
it climbs trees.
Monkeys.
What did you say?
Chimps and gorillas.
Oh, yeah, okay.
They have fingerprints very similar to humans.
But so do koalas.
Koalas?
Koalas.
Do they?
Yeah.
I would have thought they're more like pads.
Like, you know, cats have their little...
Well, they are like little pads.
But they've got prints on them.
But they also have the little swirls and they're different on each finger.
Very similar to humans.
So even under a microscope, it's very hard to easily distinguish the differences between a koala's fingerprint and a human fingerprint.
Oh, okay.
So if someone broke into a zoo and stole a koala.
You could, in court, the lawyer could stand up and say, how do you know that's not
a koala? Yes, it might get
you off. It'd be quite a lot smaller, I'd imagine,
than a human fingerprint. Yeah.
Which is very interesting
because they were close to our ancestors
70 million years ago.
So they think in evolutionary history
it's only just recently...
Here we go with the evolution.
Here she goes with the evolution's only just recently. Here we go with the evolution. Here she goes with the evolution.
Only just recently
that they've developed these more
human fingerprints.
Okay, that's good. Then maybe
they can start using smartphones to unlock them.
See, they
have trouble with the facial recognition because they all look
the same. And the big noses and stuff.
Yeah, yeah. So today's fact of
the day is a crime scene in a zoo
would be a tough one for forensics because
much like chimps and gorillas, koalas
have fingerprints almost
identical to humans.
Fact of the day, day,
day, day, day.
Ah, do-ga-do-do-do ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Vaughan's away today, but his COVID test is neg.
He's come back negative.
So fingers crossed he'll be back tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll see.
Who has the most attractive eyes?
This is men and women in the studies on the opposite sex.
And do you mean the colour?
Yes. Sorry, yes. The colour of your eyes. This is men and women in the studies on the opposite sex. And do you mean the colour? Yes. Yeah.
The colour of your eyes. This has been done using a
male model and a female model
on dating profiles.
Okay. So they looked into
when they modified,
digitally modified their eyes.
So they used the same person?
Same person. But with different eyes. That was the control.
Yeah. With different coloured eyes.
And how many matches they got.
And then just asked what people found better.
Yeah.
So this is heterosexual preferences.
So men prefer, the most attractive to men, is blue eyes.
Okay.
And they reckon it's mostly down to cultural factors and what we've been portrayed in the media. So the typical blonde hair, blue eyes. Okay. And they reckon it's mostly down to cultural factors
and what we've been portrayed in the media.
So the typical blonde hair, blue eyes situation.
Oh, the media.
Yeah.
Again.
I hate them.
So blue eyes are most attractive.
Next is brown eyes.
Are you kidding?
Brown eyes?
Yeah.
Me?
Who brown eyes?
Yours are like...
Okay, be careful.
What are you going to say?
Are they a little bit hazily?
No, they're brown.
They're brown brown.
Are they light brown?
I don't know.
They're just brown.
They're meh.
They're just brown.
I've never...
I don't think anyone said, oh, God, you've got amazing eyes.
Oh, my God.
Has no one said that to you?
Because brown eyes are just there Every day
You can have amazing eyes
With brown eyes
I don't know if you can
Big like doe eyes
You have amazing eyes
Oh thank you
Thank you
Next is green
So this is most attractive to men
Okay
Third attractive is green
On women
Okay
I really thought brown
Would have been like
Right down the bottom
Oh I thought it would have been hazel and blue.
Oh yeah, blue's up there.
Green's third, that's me.
Then hazel, black and purple.
Purple.
Is that with like lenses?
So I looked into purple eyes and while they are rare,
people with violet eyes, so you can get like greys and blues
and then people can have tinges of violet. And I wondered if there was anyone famous that with violet eyes, so you can get like greys and blues and then people
can have tinges of violet. And I wondered if there was anyone famous that had violet
eyes.
No, they're bloodshot. They've been smoking weed.
Elizabeth Taylor apparently was famous for her violet eyes.
Show me a picture.
She had like really full on bluey.
Oh wow, they actually do. They're kind of like a, but they're like a purpley tinge to
the blue, aren't they?
Bluey purpley, yeah. Wow, okay. So, but're kind of like a, but they're like a purpley tinge to the blue, aren't they? Bluey purpley, yeah.
Wow, okay.
So, but that's last on the list for most attractive for men.
Okay.
Probably because they thought,
oh, someone's photoshopped this or wearing lenses.
Yeah.
The most attractive coloured eye for women,
like they find most attractive on men is hazel.
Okay.
Hazel eyes.
That's what my husband has.
Back off, everyone.
Oh, jeez.
All right, psycho.
Nobody was...
I'm really, my psycho's really showing this week.
I don't know what's up.
You've really brought that to the fore this week.
Lockdown or something.
We're so close to being out.
You're batting off all the women that are coming for your husband while he's in lockdown.
Number two is purple.
Really?
Yeah.
Until today,
I was today years old
when I learned about purple.
Please text in if you have purple eyes.
Because, I mean,
other than Elizabeth Taylor,
I've got no other examples.
I've never seen anyone with purple eyes.
Oh, someone texted in,
you have amazing eyes.
Thank you.
Oh, that's really sweet.
I wasn't doing that thing
where I'm fishing for a compliment.
Whatever.
Radio hosts do that all the time.
Not me.
Third is black.
Like, really?
I do like really dark.
They're like a dark brown.
Very nice, yeah.
Is it not a bit psycho?
What do you mean?
Why are your eyes black?
No, but they're just dark brown.
Okay.
Weird.
Blue is fourth most attractive for women.
Weird, they don't find guys with blue eyes as hot as girls find guys with blue eyes.
Wow, okay.
Brown is second to last.
There you go.
And green.
Green eyes are the least most attractive to women.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, it varies.
And also they said there's science to prove that you are potentially attracted
to the same colour eyes as your parents.
Oh, okay.
So that might throw a spanner in the works as well.
Does your husband have the same colour eyes as your dad?
Not at all.
Not at all.
Or your brother?
No.
Okay.
No.
Yuck, don't make me weird, no.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
We set a new record, New Zealand.
We smashed a record for online shopping in October.
Is that because a third of the country was locked up?
Yes.
So New Zealand Post has done the numbers on our October online shopping
and we spent $765 million.
Whoa.
In one month.
So they said, obviously, because when there's a lockdown,
retail stores are closed,
online shopping's the only way people can get stuff.
Man, I tell you what,
couriers and posties are going to need a break after Christmas, aren't they?
And a present.
And a present. And yeah, your love. If something turns up late, don't need a break after Christmas, aren't they? And a present. And a present.
And yeah, your love, if something turns up late, don't have a go at them because they've
been under the pump for months.
So they said, New Zealand Post said, on average, shoppers spent $25 million every day during
October.
Jeez.
So that meant it was delivering, no, no, 2 million parcels a week.
Yeah, I remember stats a month or so ago with how many parcels they were delivering.
And that's why they couldn't, in Auckland, I remember, do you remember we talked about it a month ago, they couldn't get
vans. They couldn't get enough rental
vans. Two million parcels
a week. Yeah.
Nuts, eh? Wow.
I feel like I need to apologise for my
contribution. But then like, we were stuck
at home, so I had to. Well, it's the only way to get
stuff until kind of retail opened up
a few weeks back. But it literally
spending in Auckland doubled
compared to October last year
when we weren't locked down.
Yeah, right.
That money is burning a hole.
How much of it do you think is people
knowing that there are delays with Christmas
and stuff from overseas,
so they're getting in really early this time?
I think for the courier's sake,
I hope that people are getting in early
so they get it to die down a little bit before Christmas, but who knows? Probably not, but yeah, spare a thought for the courier's sake, I hope that people are getting in early so they get it to die down a little bit before Christmas.
But who knows?
Probably not. But yeah, spare a thought for your courier.
