Hello, welcome to the Fleeche Warner Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe Coffee for great tasting Bristol Made Coffee on the go. I just saw a story online while I was waiting for you to get back from the toilet. How to turn... Very translucent wheeze, if I might say so. You did. I've drunk a lot of water. That's good because that means a lot of water.

Yeah, I've been drinking enough water. I haven't done a lot of water this morning. Mine was quite orange. I haven't had my Barocca. We don't need to go through your colours of your wee. I think it's important for people to know, a lot of people don't know the colour of their wee means you're hydrated.

Everyone knows that. If it's too rich, you're not, right? Yeah, you're not. Hydrated. I feel like we should be playing from the Disney classic Pocahontas Colours of the Wind behind us. And we could say more like it's Col playing from the Disney classic Pocahontas, Colors of the Wind, behind us. And we could say more like it's Colors of the Wheeze. You think I'm an ignorant savage.

I'll get to the chorus. I don't know this song. You're familiar with the story of Pocahontas? You don't know. Here we go, Colors of the Wind. I can see Colors of the Wind there. Worth the wait. I don't know why you choose Buffering City. Colours of the Wind

Can you paint with all the colours of the wind? You know you should know this because Bette Midler did a version. But what's this got to do with... I don't know Bette Midler. I don't like Bette Midler. I thought if you liked Cher you had to like Bette Midler. No. Because they were like two peas in a pod. How did you get to Colour of the Wheeze To this

It's called colour of the wind Oh my god Colour of your wheeze I'm so glad that detour happened Can you paint the world With the colour of your wheeze Oh my god okay Wow

Well this story That I was perusing Just moments ago Before we went on that Wheeze tangent Side wheeze tangent Disney wheeze tangent How to turn

15 days of annual leave over the next Christmas and next year period into 44 days off in 2021. Wow. And how depressing is it that we can't go anywhere, apart from our lovely country, obviously. Yeah, around the country. You're the master of this, though. Yeah, so I think it's one of those,

next year is one of those times when Easter and Anzac Day, if you just take off a few in the middle, and the same with how Christmas and that falls over New Year's and stuff this year, you can really make the most of it. Yeah, because Christmas and New Year's, if that falls on a weekday, it's good, right? If it's on like a Monday, And then Boxing Day is on the Tuesday Because then you get the Saturday, Sunday, the Monday, the Tuesday

And then next year Five of the ten public holidays are Mondayised As well So strategically They reckon Fifteen of your annual leave days If you work like nine to five Yeah, 44 days out of the office

That'll be great for a struggling economy. Sorry. I think for a moment there I was possessed by Richard Prebble. Is he dead? He's not dead. No, I saw he did a column the other day. Did he? The Prebs.

Well, he's responsible for the ACT Party, so thanks for that. Thanks for David Seymour. Thank you. Thanks, Prebs. Little David Seymour. Thank you. Thanks, prebs. Little David Seymour. Is he little? He's not like, no, he's well under six foot. David Seymour.

Look, he just, when Geppetto was making him, it was hard to tell exactly how much water he was going to need. He overordered and he's like, it's no point wasting this. I might as well make this puppet lifestyle. Well, you're a fan, obviously. Enjoy the podcast. And while, wait, in his defense, I will say his end of life bill. Yeah, because you didn't want to have to smother your mum with a pillow.

I'll do it. Yeah, I know you've said many times you've got to deal with her. Yeah. Lovely. ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fleshforn and Megan Yeah. Lovely. Good morning.

Welcome to the show, Fleece, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Friday. Yay! Which means it's Vaughan's pick for Friday Flashback and it's Abba, baby. Which one though?

Well, that is the great question. I'm going through the thousands of responses to the Instagram story to just get a general vibe. Did anyone vote for dancing queen? I just can't believe you're playing ABBA at 8 o'clock this morning. You love it. Well, you will love it when it's happening. Will I? Actually, that says roundly gowned.

I don't talk like that. That worked. I'll give you that. That worked. I'll give you that. That was okay. Yeah. I don't know.

Didn't I have to go through and give me... No, okay. Give me, give me, give me a bit of time to work it out. We've got our 50K fact of the day. Last day for the 50k fact of the day. All thanks to Save My Back and some actually listening at 8.25.

It's an ABBA fact. Is it actually? It's an ABBA fact. Oh my God. I found this ages ago and I put it in my calendar today. To remember it.

To remember it. Okay. That's the most organising you've ever done. I know. Very impressive. I'm wildly impressed by myself because I forgot about it and then it popped up. And I was like, hey, well done me.

Yeah. Good on you, past Vaughn. Yeah. It's been a big, big couple of days for Vaughn. We need to talk about this on the show today. You've become a car reviewer. Yep. Another arrow for my quiver.

Oh, what? Another one of those arseholes. What? Yeah, she's not wrong. Drive around a flash car pretending it's yours. That's what Sade said yesterday when we were driving around. She's like, if someone asks, are you going to pretend this is yours? I'm like, is it believable?

She's like, no, because Vaughn dropped me off in this car yesterday. We were leaving and we saw someone we knew, and I had to wind down the window and'm like, is it believable? She's like, not really. No, because Vaughn dropped me off in this car yesterday. We were leaving and we saw someone we knew and I had to wind down the window and be like, we can't afford this car. This is an ours. It's not ours. Because he was looking at us like, how are you driving that? When I drove past you and tooted, Vaughn's I've never seen your head higher

and your arms like on the window so you were like yeah, really feeling yourself. We need to talk about, Vaughan's got too big for his boots. We'll talk about this. He's taken off of the knees. Yeah, we'll talk about Vaughan's new career on the show today. Also coming up, we've got the top six. Yeah.

Qantas is selling their drinks trolleys from their 747s because they've retired them. Here's the catch, they're full of booze. Oh, okay. Is there any coffee, tea? Coffee, tea? Coffee, tea? Isn't a catch usually something bad? Here booze. Oh, okay. Is there any coffee, tea? Coffee, tea? Coffee, tea? Isn't a catch usually something bad? Here's the...

Oh, yeah. Here's the kicker. Here's the kicker. Here's the zest. They're like a thousand Aussie bucks. I'd just rather pay like $200 and have it empty, and then I'll fill it myself. I wouldn't pay $200 for a shitty airplane empty.

I'd be like the best part of the alcohol. Rattle-y, tattle-y,tattley-tattley-tat. And they're never like a good-looking drinks trolley either, are they? They're those things that go into that little space

and then the little lock holds them in there because there's turbulence. But then aviation nerds will lap this up. They'll love it. Oh, I reckon they'd be all about it.

Well, the top six other things I'd buy from a Qantas plane. Like if they're scrapping Because if they're selling all the bits out of them, there's a couple of things I'd have. Okay, alright plane. Like if they're scrapping and selling. Because if they're selling all the bits out of them, there's a couple of things I'd have. Okay, all right. It's coming up in the top six.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. In Vietnam, police have seized over 300,000 used condoms because they were being cleaned and were intended to be sold again. Come again? I saw this story last night and it was grim. I've done some research and a lot of news sites are sharing this story because I was like, this has got to be made up. But it's on CBS, it's on Miami Herald, It's on all these reputable news sites. So there's shots of pictures of where they found these condoms in huge bags.

This is in Thailand, so don't panic. Vietnam. Vietnam, sorry. Don't drag Thailand into that. 360 kilos of these condoms. So in the warehouse, it looks like there's a wooden phallic object. Okay. So they clean them and then they put them over that

and then they roll them up and make them look like they are fresh. New. Do they put them back in like a tinfoil square and seal that? I'm sure. It just says unbranded packaging. Yeah. So they might reseal them. That is the grimmest

news story ever. Like, so they're giving them a rinse. I don't know, like, was there disinfectant involved? I mean, at least, I hope. Also, this is peculiar. So 300,000 were seized or more, but the person running the factory

said they would get once a month $300,000 from an unknown source. But one source. One source. One source. Interesting. That would be a sex... A brothel.

Brothel-y place, yeah. But even then, do the math. So I've divided $300,000 by, say, 30 days. That's $10,000. A day. A day. And then even if there were

how many people working or... But maybe it was like a brothel chain and then one person was just like a franchise. Oh, that's so great. A franchise. One person was delivering them.

I always wanted to be a franchisee. That's, yeah. Low overheads. They're like, well, several laws have been broken here because those are... Nasty. Medical, it's medical waste.

And some of them have been sold. Like, these have been sold. Like, people have been buying these thinking these are... That is disgusting. The other thing is there's no word on, like, they were cleaning them. We don't know how thoroughly, but there was no checking of... Well, they couldn't give them a good scrub, could they? It would render them useless.

There was no checking of holes or anything. And then also, what a job. Yeah, I know. If you're having a bad day, think about that as a job. So apparently she told police, this woman, this woman in charge of this whole operation told authorities she gets 17 cents for every kilogram

of recycled Connie's. So they found 360 kgs. So even if there was like that's nothing right? Isn't that insane? I mean then obviously she was making money off the sales of yeah. Wow. And from what we can see this is actually a legit story.

If you did 17 cents times 360, is that like $61? I think that's $61. Yeah. That's not, I mean... Yeah. That's a lot of effort and nastiness for $61. Nasty. Yuck. All61. It's just that nasty.

Yuck. All right. That's put me off my breakfast. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, there's a new scam and it involves selling your car. So if you're selling your car, you go to a website like Trade Me, you list your car. Yeah.

You put like, I don't know, $5,000. Red. It's got four wheels. Details. The scam is somebody will take that and copy and paste it onto Facebook Marketplace. And then try to sell it straight to your car for, I don't know, less? Because this has happened to a man in Auckland. Why? I don't get it.

Because they won't be able to follow through with in Auckland. Why? I don't get it. Because they won't be able to follow through with the car. Maybe they're hoping that people deposit the money and then they come and pick the car up and then it's not there. So an Auckland man's talked about this. He was selling his 2008 BMW

and he got a call from somebody because he listed it on Trade Me for $15,000. He got a call. Someone said, I'd love to buy the car or at least have it on Trade Me for $15,000. He got a call. Someone said, I'd love to buy the car or at least have a look at it, $8,000. He's like, no, it's $15,000. And that's when he got talking a bit more,

realised that this person was referring to a listing on Facebook Marketplace, not Trade Me. But then you wouldn't put the original person's number there, would you, for them? Because then you wouldn't be able to person's number there, would you? Because then you wouldn't be able to take the call to be like, yeah, deposit the money, it's yours They might have searched and found it on Trade Me as well, maybe Found the same car Right

But yeah Oh, right, and we're like, same number plate and everything But yeah, so I think Okay, I can see how that happens The idea is that, yeah, people would say, oh, we'll deposit the money and then you can come around and pick it up who would deposit money on a car that they hadn't like seen or driven in person stupid people do that people are stupid i don't know if you're right but then i suppose if it seems like such a good deal that's the thing it was like here was a car worth 15 for eight quick sale sale. It's a Beamer. Yeah.

Just eight grand. And someone's just like, shit, I could get that for eight. I know that's worth at least 10, so I could sell it and make two grand piece of cake. I'll pay the deposit. Right. I gotcha. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah.

But apparently this is, yeah, it's becoming quite a thing. So, yeah, don't deposit any money for cars without seeing the car in person. Yeah, and they probably go, oh yeah, now I've got a lot of people interested, and yeah, now this other guy's going to give me this much. I always suppose in my mind that people would buy a car without test driving it. It's like marrying someone without having sex

with them. That blows my mind. I know. What if it's just wildly incompatible? I always wonder about that. The first night, they're just like, that was awful. Yeah, that was yuck. What have I done? What have I done?

I'm locked into this forever. Lethargic at best, wasn't it? Very quick. Unless, of course, you're the rubbish one. Well, nobody wants to be the rubbish one. It would both be rubbish. It would just be rubbish. Yeah, no one nails be the rubbish one. It would both be rubbish. It would just be rubbish. Yeah, no one nails it the first time.

Just like driving a car, you drop the clutch the first time. It's a different clutch to the last guy. Yeah, yeah. You bunny hop around and... Hit the curb. Oh, yeah, curb the mags, take a good chunk out of them. It's a weird analogy. Next on the show, the top six.

Yeah, the top six things I'd buy from a Qantas 747 because they're selling the drinks trolleys full of booze. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Aviation nerds rejoice. You can buy a Qantas 747 drinks trolley stacked with booze and whatever other drinks go in there

I like it's a tough time for airlines yeah Qantas seems to be doing it like I don't know if I admire them

for the way they're handling it like they were like let's fly around Australia not land let's just fly and you can look out the window and people were like okay and they're handling it. They were like, let's fly around Australia. Not land, let's just fly and you can look out the window. And people were like, okay. And they were like, it worked.

What else can we do? Let's sell some things. They've been selling off their business class like pyjamas and stuff that they give people. I kind of admire it. People are probably like, it seems a bit desperate. But shit, these are desperate times for airlines.

I admire that. They're like, hey, guys, this sucks. Do you want to buy some pyjamas? They dumped that loser rugby team until after 20 years. Yeah. That will save some cash. Who's going to sponsor them? Bunnings.

Bunnings. Probably the only Australian company with enough money to do it now, right? Yeah, true, because everyone's selling Renaults because they're stuck at home. Exactly. But they are selling drinks trolleys. Qantas from the 747s. Not like a sexy

drinks trolley whatsoever. It's a ratty bang thing that goes down the aisle. Yeah, drinks trolleys have got real... Bougie. Bougie and popular in the last like...

As a sort of a... Glass shards with gold like frame. Yeah. What's your drinks trolley? You've got an old... It's an old hospital trolley. Yeah. What's your Durex trolley? It's an old hospital trolley. Yeah, I found it at Junkin Disorderly. Old stainless steel.

Yeah, it's got like a stainless steel tie. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, it's real cool. I didn't know it was a hospital trolley. I tried to find one for ages, but now you can get them in like Freedom and all kinds of places, yeah. My nan has got one,

and it is the most ornate, wooden, carved. When I was a kid, it just always amazed me. But like looking at it now, it's full of Jim Beam, isn't it? No, they had like, my grandparents got given really nice bottles of spirits, but just didn't drink them. Oh, weird. I can't see her actually. It's been a while.

My drink's trolley's looking depleted. Oh, do. I can't see her, actually. It's been a while. My drinks trolley's looking depleted. Oh, do you want to come and see Marley? See if you can get in on some of these high-end spirits. Yep, that'd be nice. All right. So the top six things are other things I'd buy from a Qantas plane. Yeah, well, they're just going to take them to the desert and scrap them, aren't they? Shit, yeah.

So you might as well get some bits and bobs. Number six on the list of the top six things I'd buy from a old Qantas plane, the tail. And I'd bury it in the ground like I tried to bury a whole plane but hadn't quite dug the hole deep enough.

Like just a bit, see a pill, I'd be like, what is that? You'd be like, huh? That? I don't know,

nothing. It's a whole plane. Don't pull on it. But then a 747 tail would be like a two-story building. I know. I know. I know. It'd probably turn into quite a cool

like tree hut sort of slide down the middle situation. I don't want to ruin your list, but there's a lot of Airbnbs that are old planes. That are old planes and engines and stuff. They're cool. But the only thing is like the wings serve no purpose, but a plane looks weird

without them. Yeah, it does. Yeah. Remember when that person tried to put that little old Air New Zealand plane in their backyard in Auckland last year? And everyone's like, um, you can't do that. Yeah. And they had to crane it away again. Everyone's like, no, I don't know that.

I don't think that's kosher, buddy. This is the suburbs. It's not a jungle in the middle of nowhere like you see on Instagram. Yeah, this isn't Bolivia, mate. Number five on the list of the top six things I'd buy from a plane are the door. Into the... Oh, yeah. You know, the big...

Imagine that was your front door every time the religious people came knocking. Sorry, I'm not interested in any Jehovah's. Cabin crew, shut the doors. What do they say? Arm doors and cross check or something. Yeah, yeah. You could say that to them. And then just, all right, I'm off to work.

It looks really heavy, that door, eh? Yeah. Can you shut it from the outside? Yeah, I think so. Because how would you get back in? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's it. Man.

Number four on the list of the top six things I'd buy from a plane, the PA system. Oh, yeah, good. Bing bong. Kids, dinner's ready. Bing bong. What's for dinner? Bing bong.

We have a lovely chicken risotto. What's the other option? This is a house, not an aircraft. There's no second choice. Wash your hands and get to the table. Due to previous passenger selection, you've only got risotto. Due to mum and I nipping aft. Cooking two dinners, you'll be in while we're eating.

Number three on the list of the top six things I'd buy from a Qantas plane. The whole cockpit. Just the cockpit. Oh, yeah. That would be great. How cool would that be? A room in your house. And you could set up Microsoft Flight Simulator on like gaming screens.

You two are such nerds. That would be so rad. Or just smash out the windows and just put your giant TV on the other side of it. And it's like a movie screen thing. But that wouldn't be comfortable to watch a whole movie in a cockpit for two hours. What if you have friends? Yeah, it'd be a two-person. They could sit in the jump seat.

In the jump seat, yeah. Or they could be the person that comes in and be like, does anybody need a drink? But they have to come in with another person because I could shut the door and take the plane down. Yes. There's new rules about that now, isn't there? You have to say the security thing.

Yeah, make sure they're not Al-Qaeda. You don't want them in your cockpit. Number two on the list might be a better option for a movie night, the business class seats. Oh, okay.

I'd say first class seats, but I don't know what they're like. They're up. Up there somewhere magical. And number one on the list are the top six things that I would buy

from a Qantas 747, the inflatable slide. Oh, yes. That they always tell you about that if you go down, we're all getting out in the inflatable slide. Yeah. I'd have that thing. Megan had come over for a go, though, and pretty wear her heels on it. I'd be like, heels off if you're coming down the slide.

But I presume there's some kind of land. Like, where are you going to land? In the water. Or you should take it to the sand dunes. On the grass. And end up in the river. Oh, yeah. I'll be like, okay, heels off.

That's sunlight liquid. You are going to absolutely rock it off the other end of this thing. Slimmers land! That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A 54-year-old has died in America. He had a habit, a daily habit, and it ended up killing him. Was it diet soda?

No. And please, I'm living in ignorant bliss about the impacts of diet soda. Lesions on the brain until I have to deal with it. Yeah. No, it wasn't. It wasn't smoking. It wasn't drinking. It wasn't even crack.

Okay. It wasn't heroin. It wasn't a drug. It wasn't prescription medication.'t drinking It wasn't even crack Okay It wasn't heroin It wasn't a drug It wasn't prescription medication Is it something I like? I think you do Yes Oh Christ Is it something I like?

I think you like A different kind Which isn't Okay Which doesn't do this Chocolate White chocolate I love white chocolate

Not chocolate Licorice Because you like red licorice I do love licorice Now red licorice isn't the problem It's black licorice I love white chocolate. Not chocolate. Licorice. Because you like red licorice. I do love licorice. Now, red licorice isn't the problem. It's black licorice. I love that. What is, who's that?

RJ's. Oh, my God. Like the little licorice of all sorts. I can do a whole pack of those. Oh, yeah. The mini ones, the big ones. So, RJ's red licorice is so good. Yeah.

If it's got the spiral of sherbet down the middle, I'll eat it. That's fabulous. Are they the ones that do the chocolate in the middle of sherbet down the middle, I'll eat it. That's fabulous. Are they the ones that do the chocolate in the middle of the red lock? Those are really good. Red licorice isn't licorice, right? It's not licorice. No, because the licorice part is that weird flavour that's in the black. Black flavour of licorice.

So he died eating black licorice. So apparently he loved red licorice. Right. But was worried about the sugar in it. So switched to black licorice thinking it was the healthier alternative. No, there's just as much sugar in that, isn't there? So, well, yeah, and it's killed him because he was eating a bag and a half every day. Yeah.

And apparently it just blows, for a start it blows your nutrients out of whack. And then your blood pressure, it can increase your blood pressure. Now, the problem is something called glycyrrhizic acid, which is black licorice, and it's in lots of foods. It's licorice root extract. There's even a whole page on Medsafe. Do you know if you ever get pills and stuff from the doctor, you always Google to see what it does and stuff.

Medsafe always has like... Do you do that? I don't. I don't do that either. I do. Three days ago, I didn't know the difference between paracetamol and ibuprofen. But yeah, it's essentially licorice. All sorts of side effects and interactions. What does it say? That is crazy.

Because I like licorice tea. And it has like that licorice root in it. Yes, it does. The root extract. It can cause dangerously low potassium and imbalances in other minerals. So eat it with a banana. And it strips you of electrolytes. Yeah, so then that results in abnormal heart rhythms, high blood pressure, heaps of stuff.

So hit it with a Gatorade and a banana. Yeah, you'll be fine. But he's eating, he's hooning a bag and a half a day. So, you'll be fine. But he's eating, he's hooning a bag and a half a day. So the older you get, the older you get, the more you will be affected by licorice too.

So if you're over 40, two ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks can cause a heart rhythm. Good Lord. Yeah, and it could be, they say, you know, like if it's not just eating licorice,

there's licorice and other things, black jelly beans, that flavour. Oh, yeah, there's licorice and other things. Black jelly beans, that flavour. Oh, yeah, yeah. Licorice teas, boom. Oh, that's nice. Some beers, Belgian beers, have the licorice compound in it. God, you've got to be really careful. Yeah.

And then apparently your heaps of medications you can take can affect those as well. Who? Quancy. Do you know grapefruit can affect medications, right? So many, yeah. 65. I read 65 currently prescribed medications in New Zealand can be put well out of whack by grapefruit.

So you think it's just the pill, but it's not. It's like heart medication, some asthma medications. I read the list of them. I was just like, grapefruit's just like, no. Asthma? Yeah, I don't know why, but it's so young. I love a grapefruit juice. This is my favourite juice.

It's the best thing about being pregnant. I'm just owning some grapefruit. Well, you want to watch your asthma. Yeah. Well, be careful. You've been the whole life on the pill. You're like, no grapefruit. It'll make the pill.

Oh, you're pregnant. It doesn't matter. She can stop taking the pill. Did you know that? When you're pregnant, the whole life on the pill. You're like, no grapefruit. It'll make the pill. Oh, you're pregnant. It doesn't matter. She can stop taking the pill. Did you know that? When you're pregnant, you don't take the pill anymore. Amazing. Yeah. Wow.

It's just grapefruit aplenty. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. Because I know you love grapefruit, but then there's always that pill concern. Well, there you go. Black licorice moderation, especially if you're old.

Because that's probably the other thing that killed this guy. He's old too, isn't he? No, no. He was like 50, 54. Okay, yeah. That's not in modern times. Maybe in the Wild West where you ate nothing but rabbit stew and you couldn't get your vitamin C, you had scurvy,

you had running teeth and stuff. Maybe 54 was a good bracket, but that's young these days. Bluff or Stuff. All right, it's time to play Bluff or Stuff. We welcome Danielle. Good morning. Good morning. Now, Danielle, here's how Bluff or Stuff works.

We've got a prize, and each of us are going to tell you that we're holding it. We're going to bluff that we're holding the stuff, but only one of us actually is. And you have to decide who that person is. Now, today you are playing for some Morphe makeup brushes. It's Morphe and Jaclyn Hill, their collaboration. Oh, nice. Yeah, I know all about these. Because I used these when I was on that show.

Glow Up. Megan's show. And I don't know if you missed it yesterday. We spoke to me, the winner of Megan's show, Glow Up NZ. And these are what I use. I use Morphe because they give a great contour. Yes, they sure do. And I tell you what, what a great blending brush. I don't believe there is a contour brush in there.

No, not in this pack. Not in this pack. There's five custom face brushes in a bag. Now, Danielle, I'll save you all the time because listen to this. This is the bag. I'm holding the bag. It's silver.

Which is weird. That's a jar of coffee born. Trying to find something to shake that actually sounds a bit like it. No, it actually comes in a bag. I'm holding it. I think I'm trying to find something to shake that actually sounds a bit like it. No, it actually comes in a bag. I'm holding it. That is both. I think I'm holding it.

What colour would the bag be? It's glittery silver. It's beautiful, Danielle. Danielle, this will convince you I've got it. It's got a zip. There's five brushes, but what? If you're holding it, what brushes are in it? What just is five custom face brushes?

Actually, I can tell you. It includes a sparkle zip pouch, the bronzer brush, a foundation brush, a blush brush, an under-eye powder brush, which, oh, my God. That's where I put my powder. It's straight under my eye. And a glow baby glow brush. I need that under-eye. What is all this stuff?

Because the other day my daughter said, have you been punched? And I said, beg your pardon? She said, you've got a very black eye. And I looked and I said, oh no, that's just called being old and tired. Oh no. She's like, I'm sorry about that.

Danielle, I'd like you to eliminate one of us. Who's definitely not holding it? I'm going to eliminate Vaughn. Fair enough, though. Yes! Not wrong. Okay, Danielle, is it Megan holding it or am I holding it? I'm going to go with

Fletch holding it. That is correct. There you go. There's no way he would have known any of those brushes on the back unless he was holding it. Yeah. I had to swing it around and read that.

Hey, Danielle, congratulations. We have for you the Morphe makeup brushes. Well done. Thank you. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. Re-ans. What?

Re-ans? Re-ans? Yeah. Always see that. Do you always hear numbers like Re-ans or like M-R-E-I-N-Z? Yeah, what is that? Well, I think the last part's New Zealand. L-M-V-D?

Yep. Licensed motor vehicleicle Dealer. Yay! You hear all these weird things and you just hear them so often, you're like, hey, and you're happy with them and then one day you might learn what they are. Yeah. And it takes away a bit of the magic.

VTNZ. Vehicle Testing New Zealand. Yeah. Good one. Good one. Well, that was an easy one, wasn't it? Well, the guidelines. It's a new guide for first-time renters. Because when you go renting, that was an easy one, wasn't it? Well, the guidelines. It's a new guide for first-time renters. Because when you go renting, you're just like, I don't know. They asked me for money in advance. I gave it to them.

There's a bond. And then you've got to look after the house. It seemed like a lot of money, to be honest. But I'm just happy to be just out on my own, you know? But then even like, sometimes people have been taken advantage of because they'll give the bond to the landlord, but they won't lodge it. Yeah, they haven't asked.

Which is so illegal. Oh, so illegal. They haven't asked. I didn't know that. Yeah. You use the landlord ask for it and you give it to them. 100%. And you just assume, oh yeah, that'll be done.

But you should ask for a, because when the landlord lodges, that's a tough one. And I've had a couple of drinks. When the landlord lodges, that's a tough one. And I've had a couple of drinks. When the landlord lodges it, they get confirmation. And you should also get confirmation because your contact detail should have been on that. And then they can't rip you off if they say, oh, you've got to clean the carpet. Then you can take it to tenancy and they can decide.

But if you're going to uni or something, you're usually flating with people who are all doing it for the first time. So everyone's like, I don't know. And everybody's a bit useless. And you've just left home where mum ran a pretty tight ship and you took it for granted a lot of the time. And when you move out and you're not getting your bond back, you're like, that's fair enough. But it's probably not fair enough.

So it's a good idea to do a guide. The guidelines are for the landlords and for tenants. But one of them is... Well, that's the other thing. As many as there's like cheeky landlords on his cheek. There's some tenants who are absolutely taken the piss. Because that's the new law that they've just passed, is that it's going to be harder for landlords to evict us if we're like rowdy and stuff.

Like they're going to have to actually document like bad behaviour and stuff. So they're probably going to have to come to your 2am party, film it, and then get a couple of instances of that. Yeah, they'll come in with a skateboard and be like, hey, what's up, my dudes? Let's put WAP on the stereo and party on down. And then they're wearing a hidden camera. They went undercover.

And then they're showing that hidden camera. They went undercover. And then they're showing that at the tenancy tribunal. Or they could just ring the people who come around and take your stereo. Noise control. Your address will be there a hundred times so they'll be able to use that as enough evidence. Sure. But we thought on the back of this, could we

take some calls of those times when you had a first time flatting whoopsie? When you went flatting for a first time flatting. Whoopsie. When you went flatting for the first time and you didn't know something and you messed it up. Are you also talking about when you messed up the place? Because you didn't know how houses worked. We've all been there. Didn't you have it put a hole in the wall?

Zuh Hole zuh Wall zuh I burnt the carpet Remember And I put the bed over it That's right How am I going to fix that Was that

Did you leave the iron On the floor No I was having a romantic Conditioner on the floor Of my room And the tea light That's right

And it melted But there was In our first flat We had the nicest flat Out of everyone So everyone wanted to come over And we had a party tarp Because we were trying

To protect the carpet A party tarp Put down the tarp So we put a tarp On the carpet Which was cream And then The only thing that happened

Was someone spilt red wine And got trampled Under the party tarp All over the floor And we didn't notice So the whole night Everyone was rubbing The red wine

In the cream carpet. So that wasn't ideal. Dude, also who's buying cream carpet? You're asking for trouble. You're in our flat. Come on.

You're asking for trouble. You're setting us up for a... Yeah, so they set a gin trap and you walk straight into it. So we would love

to know about your first time flatting whoopsies. There's new guidelines for first time renters to help you through what you can and can't do and what your rights are. And they were saying when they released this that one of the biggest areas

of confusion is around cleaning your flat when you leave. Because it doesn't have to be professionally cleaned. It's just got to be of a good clean standard. But that seems vague and that's where the arguments come in. Very subjective. A clean standard for one person is like, could you leave dust on the mantelpiece or the window cells?

Yeah. You'd think not, right? But then like, if that doesn't matter, then who's going to do all that deep cleaning? Yeah. So we want to know about your whoopsies. Maybe you learned the hard way when you first moved into a flat, some things that went wrong. Somebody said, power bill. Never had to pay one of those before.

It's a shock, eh? Like, then you all of a sudden realise, oh, that's why Dad would always say, turn the lights off. And you'd be like, it only costs two cents. Two cents adds up. Look up compound interest. Somebody said, so that Powerbill text,

they were getting estimates for the first few months that they were in their Dunedin flat, and then it got cold. Oh, no. And that was when they got a $1, they were getting estimates for the first few months that they were in their Dunedin flat and then it got cold. Oh no. And that was when they got a $1,500 power bill for the month. I remember flatting with like, I remember over the years flatting with first time flaters and the winter power thing, they just, it took them a while to get

that, eh? We didn't pay the bill quick enough and the power got cut off in October for a week. Now luckily in October you're out the other side, eh? Imagine like mid-June, July getting got cut off in October for a week. Now, luckily in October, you're out the other side, eh? Imagine, like, mid-June, July, getting it cut off in Dunedin. Larissa, what was your first time flatting whoopsie? We had a Halloween party, and a friend of a friend, so not even, like, a very close friend,

decided to bring Santa and vodka to drink for the night. What are they, 10? Well, we were really confused at the beginning, and then they just, they got really messy through the night. What are they, 10? We were really confused at the beginning, and then they just got really messy through the night. I mean, all of us did, but they were a different level of messy, and suddenly there was bright orange all over the cream, 70s woolen cream carpet. Oh, no, that little vom-vom.

Did they have a little vom-vom? No, it was the entire drink. They filled up a whole vessel and the entire vessel just went all over the lounge and all of us were like, okay, we've just got to try and clean this maybe tomorrow when we're able to. No. For three years,

we were on and off trying to clean the spot with random internet queries of how to clean orange stains on green carpet. I know. Who hasn't quickly Googled how to get out of carpet? You're like, God, I hope this works. Hey, Larissa, thanks for your call. Hannah, what was your first time flatting whoopsie?

I decided to leave Dunedin and move to Christchurch and to celebrate my arrival at the flat. It was actually crate day weekend. So we thought we'd celebrate outside in the sun and we're having such a great time. But we actually live next door to a crematorium and memorial ground. So the landlord came over to tell us off because many people were actually mourning and coming to visit site.

And we were through the hole in the fence having a great party. Oh my gosh. Oh no. You don't want to live next to one another. No. Oh, but then most of your parties are over at night and most funerals happen during the day. So this is probably the rare occasion.

That it's during the day. Yeah, true. Hey, Hannah, thanks for your call. Catherine, what was your first time flatting? Whoopsie. Well, not mine, but my flatmate. Okay. A disclaimer.

So we moved during the day and it was raining a little bit, so her mattress got a little bit wet while we were moving. Yeah. And so we put her mattress in her room and we gave her a fan heater and I was like, just blast that for a little bit. Yeah. Try it out. Went out to get another load, came back,

and she was sitting on the floor with her head in her hands. And I was like, okay, what's happened? And she didn't know which way the heater was supposed to stand. And so, you know, it's got the vent where the heat comes out. And it's got the vent on the top where it like, I don't know, sucks it in. And she thought that was the one where the heat come out. So she put the one where the heat come out face down on the carpet

and burned a hole for it when we'd moved in about an hour ago. Oh, my God. Gee, wow. Oh, my God. I, wow. Oh my God. I bet her parents were stoked to get rid of her, right? I bet. And then that's a parent's...

Yeah. I'll be damned if my kids will leave home without knowing how a fan heater works. Don't even get me started on those people that went flatting

and put the washing powder in the fabric softener. Yeah. Where did the fabric softener go? Yeah. And that's not just a first time flatter. No, same.

I've flattened people in their like 20s. Yeah. Where did fabric softener go? And that's not just a first time flat. I've flat out flat out with people in their 20s. Yeah. And maybe even early 30s that pull those shenanigans. I set up my fish tank in the hallway. Oh, no. Maybe we can all see where this is going, can't we? I've got a panicky call from my flatmates that the tank had cracked. And the water was leaking.

And you couldn't really see it. You could just see the water levels dropping, but however, it was running down and dripping into the landlord's lounge downstairs. So that's probably why you don't take a fish tank. Yeah. Flatting when you first go away. Well, imagine being downstairs and you're dripping

and all of a sudden there's a goldfish in your coffee or your lap or your couch. How did it get through? You cracked. You should answer as a landlord as to how big a crack you've got on the floor of a goldfish's snake. You know New Zealand's

leaky buildings. Yeah. Lots of cracks. Next on the show, we've made a jingle for the winner of Fishy Tank. Yeah.

Speaking of fish tanks. And if you're a fan of musical theatre, you might recognise this tune because it's a jingle that's a cover. Are you allowed to do that? I actually don't know.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Dive into Flesh, Vaughan and Megan's Fishy Tank. Well, much like Dragon's Den or Shark Tank, it's Fishy Tank. It was you bring us your side hustle. And we put it to the people. We each picked one and then we put those to the people. The people voted. And so many great side hustles.

Oh, there were so many great business ideas. Yeah. I think we had like 400 entries. So it was hard to get it down to even a handful, let alone one. But Golden Years Training Co. won. This is to help. This was during lockdown. I believe the first level four

lockdown. Melissa decided to concentrate her efforts on this and it's helping and given that nobody could communicate in person with old people, a lot of them were feeling very lonely. The elderly, and not even the elderly,

just the slightly tech-confused. And so, yeah, she started this training where she helps them out, teaches them to use it, makes it easy to follow. And we've all been there if we've had to help family with tech stuff. Yeah, we sure have. She has so much patience.

Don't know how she does it. Well, part of the package of winning, along with the cash and everything else, was a special Fletch and Vaughan jingle. And Megan, you'll know the success of a Fletch and Vaughan jingle because your cafe has had one. Am I the only other jingle you've ever done? No. Remember we

did, ages ago, we did the two jingles. We did something. I can't remember the details. One of them was for baby food. You haven't jogged my memory yet. Do you guys remember? Were you here then? Nah.

It was like Goobers, not Goobers. That's a really famous baby food. Are you doing that thing where you had a dream and then you're saying it like it was real? No, no, I'm not crazy. They were going to give us something and I was like, I'll write you a jingle. And I wrote each of them a jingle. No, I don't remember that. Come on.

You're making things up. You remember things, Megan. You've got to be on board with this. So, we went to the... Oh, God, what if this is it? Yeah, this is you going crazy. I might need to contact Golden Years Training Co. To help you with your internet granddad.

Getting a bit dithery. So, we hit the studio yesterday. Now, I was really given a backseat during this jingle process. I was given an instrument. You don if you don't offer anything, though, what do you expect? Well, I did a couple of backing words and the tambourine. And then I broke the tambourine. It's very hard to

hold a tambourine together. I don't know why you were put in charge of percussion either, because your rhythm is not there. Actually, you'll hear my rhythm whilst there. I was amazed. So do you want a bit of background on this song? Quickly, yes, yeah. You don't hurry an artist. No one's asking Taylor Swift to come on and talk us through Cardigan,

her latest single, which is a work of art. And be like, yeah, just give us the quick version, Taylor, if you would be so kind. It would have been quicker if you didn't. If I was on Friends' basis with her, I would ask her. No one wants to hear an artist war on about how they made a song. Oh, we laid a track down. We always edit that stuff out of interviews.

No one cares. We want the personal juicy details. This is a cover of a song from a very old musical called The Pirates of Penzance. So it's free to use? We're not going to have to pay royalties? I just looked. This was first on stage in 1879. So I feel like, you know, they're dead by ages now.

All right. So we had the recording studio to make the jingle. Now this is for Golden Years Training. Yeah, it's pretty, it all happens fast. It's one of those ones you'll probably appreciate more after a few listens. And I only Not even once. Just managing expectations here.

I'm listening to it once. All right, here we go. Oh, clients are the parents of your short-tempered millennials. It is your parents who can do anything that is technical. From laptop settings right down to the way to add to their iCal. They need our help or they might get scammed from someone in Portugal Portugal! We're very well acquainted too in matters of security

We'll teach our folks about their tech while they make us a cup of tea How about their apps and bits and bobs? We know from all that alpha share Share! We nod and praise and nod again to show them that we really care Care! Golden years training, go, go ahead, give us a go We are the very model of the patient and methodical Really care. Care. Golden Years Training Co. Go ahead, give us a go.

We are the very model of the patient and methodical. Don't delay email today. Your phone can do that now. Golden Years Training Co. Once again, nice and slow. G-O-L-D-E-N-Y-E-A-R-S. Training Co. Golden Years Training Co.

Brilliant. Brilliant, that's it That's the jingle She is welcome What's wrong with that? That was really good What was your harmonies? Well they were beautiful, weren't they beautiful? Well no, I did it I went and recorded with Alan and he's like What is Fletch going to do? Well, it's your harmonies. Well, they were beautiful. Weren't they beautiful? Well, no. They were beautiful.

I did it and I went and recorded with Alan. He's like, what is Fletch going to do? Because he always likes to say, like, Fletch and Vaughan Dringles. But from my memory, when we've done these before, he kind of sits there. I'm like, I'll just give him something. So we gave him a tambourine. Thank you for including me. That was great.

A lot of syllables in a short amount of time. Yeah, they were. 16 syllables per line. Wow. Melissa from Golden Years Training, who won our fishy tank, what did you think of your jingle? That was brilliant. Yeah.

Absolutely brilliant. Oh, thanks. I wrote another one, but it got scrapped at the last minute. I chucked an artist's tantrum and just deleted it. Deleted it all. Well, you're free to use, Melissa. It is a 60-seconder, though, so... That's good.

That'll probably cost you more to run that. Oh, she doesn't have to put... What are you imagining? Like, she buys a 60-second radio commercial? Oh, okay, yeah. Those do cost a bit more than the 30s. They do, but we've got a sales specialist that can talk you through that.

Gosh, he's just been timeshared. Megan has the latest next. Fans' speculation about this celebrity were bang on. Details next. Winner of Flesh, Vaughan and Megan's Fishy Tank. GoldenYearsTrainingCo.com I'm aged care enthusiast and guy who will flirt with your nana, Vaughn Smith. Since the 1990s, I've been dealing with these sorts of questions.

How do I get the TV back on the TV? A lovely man just called to say my computer has a virus. How do I give him access? What's a Wi-Fi? Why are there pound signs in front of words? Where does the printer ink go? Well, let someone else answer all of these questions and show the people in your life who are wise with years,

but not wise with tech, which way up the mouse goes, where the on button is, how to email a screen cap. What the hell is a screen cap? Palm it all off and stay calm with Golden Years Training Company. We've all been staying home a lot more this year. Even if you're not working from home, we've had lockdown and stuff. But apparently staying at home is not good for how you feel about your looks. Because you spend way more time not caring about it.

And then when you do catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, you're like, for a second, you're like, how'd that homeless person get in here? And then it's you and you're like, oh. Because I thought it was going to be like your hair gets a bit out of control and you can't go get beauty treatments or anything, like can't get your nails done or whatever. I thought maybe it was something to do with that. Is it like because you lack a range of people saying, oh, you look nice today? Or like you catch people like Fletch staring at you?

You know, like checking you out? When you don't go to work anymore, you might be like, oh, that guy or girl was checking me out. And then it makes you feel good about yourself. Is it like that? No, it's purely down to weight gain. So you know how everyone was talking about lockdown pounds and everyone's gaining weight?

And apparently that had really a negative effect on over half of the adults that did the survey. 58% of under 18s and 53% of adults said it made them feel terrible about their appearance. And then we were all bombarded like on Instagram, Twitter, like Facebook, everything of how to lose weight. And then you hear about lots of people doing online training classes and stuff. Yeah, like Liz Mills were like,

you're coming in your home now. You're like, oh, man. So, yeah, everyone felt very negative about their body image most of the time. Just being at home and being a bit of a slobby. Yeah. But we were all being slobby. Yeah, but that's the thing. We're all being slobby, so don't worry about it.

We're all slobby bobby. Yeah. And we were all just trying to get through 2020. Yeah. The best way we could. But yeah, really negative effect on body image. Because we needed that anyway, you know. It was great before we went into lockdown.

I'm being sarcastic. Yeah. You know what, I'm trying to say something inspirational. Don't, man. You're beautiful. You'm trying to say something inspirational. Don't, man. You're beautiful. You're perfect the way you are. Yeah, you're like a picnic bar. You're a bit lumpy on the outside and not much to look at,

but boy, oh boy, mouth to mouth. People love gobbling you up. That's a terrible analogy. Unless they're allergic to peanuts. No, I picked one that maybe didn't look great all the time. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah.

Let me try again. Okay, okay. You're like a picnic bar. Damn it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now we want to talk about what Fletch did last night at 8.30 and Megan and I agree, this is not the time to be doing this. Took a while to reply to a group message.

We're like, where have you been? And also when you replied, the message made, it was completely incoherent. I was going to say, it was like you were drunk. I did that thing where I restructured my sentence and I was like, I'll delete the rest of that sentence and I forgot because I was one-handed typing because, like I said, I had my vacuum cleaner,

my stick vacuum in one hand and my phone in the other. And so I was doing the vacuuming while texting. This also screams of someone who lives alone and doesn't have anything for you doing it. I was very busy all day. So I'm going away this weekend, leaving after the show, and so a friend's going to house sit,

so I was like, well, I've got to clean up before someone comes over and house sits because I don't want to- You had a mum panic. I had a mum panic. Someone's coming and you've got to run a vacuum cleaner around in the last five minutes. So I did the cleaning,

but as you'll know, I went out for dinner with a friend last night because Megan has spies everywhere. God, I can't do anything. Someone messaged me to say you were out. You had dinner at Commercial Bunny. I was like, did you have a date? How do you know? No, it was just my friend James.

You know James. Yeah. We went out for dinner because he stayed in the spare room last night. Yeah. And so we're like, well, let's just get dinner. Also, he didn't help with any of the cleaning. He did offer. It's so awkward when you're at someone's house

and they start cleaning because it's not your house. So you don't want to clean it. You'll never clean it right. You don't know where anything goes. He did offer and I said, no, I'll do it. Because he did offer. That's when we were like, it's 8.30. You can't run a vac at 8.30.

It's too late. You live in an apartment. You can't run a vac. I got a bed sometimes at 8.30. Like, you want to... It was a light vac. I don't have a... It's not a big apartment.

It was a light vac. You did say you didn't have it on full strength. Well, only because you bullied me into not using maximum power. No, we bullied you into reading the instructions. I said you'll ruin your battery by max powering the whole time. Well, that's when I told the person at the call centre, why do you have a max button? For very hard...

Well, that's what they said for stubborn bits on the carpet. But I'm like, I want to suck up all the carpet on max speed. Anyway, so I'm on high speed at 830. I think that's acceptable. It's absolutely. We're like, nah. What are the council guidelines on noise control?

It's just like, personally, you don't do it. On the weekend, you don't start an engine before 9am. That's my rule. Oh, I thought it was 7.30. That's if you're a professional. If you're just a dumb dick and harried looking to mow the lawns, you don't start before 9am. Oh, no, no.

That's so rude. Gentleman's rules. Okay, so construction work is permitted in the CBD. Now, vacuuming, you'd imagine, is on the lesser end of construction noise. It's permitted between 6.30am to 7.30am. Low-level noise activities are permitted from 6pm to 8pm. So you can still be...

Oh, so I was 8.30, wasn't I? Yeah. No, but that's EG hammering power tools and excavation. That was kind of a power tool. So you can have a light noise. Yeah, you can have a party stereo going to 11pm, can't you? 10.30. Not on a Thursday.

Not in an apartment. Oh, it's vacuuming. It's concrete floors. Someone said, my neighbour used to vacuum at 11pm. That's... Oh, see, I would never vacuum

at 11pm. We had a flatmate once who would put their clothes in the washing machine at like half past 11 at night and it was not a... It was called a gentle Annie but there was nothing gentle

about that washing machine. It was... She was rough as guts. And then they'd ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. She was rough as guts. And then they'd pick it out and put it straight in the dryer and it'd be like, boom-ba-boom-ba-boom-ba-boom. And they couldn't understand why we thought that you shouldn't be doing that at that time of night. The vacuum's a very intrusive sound. It's like leaf blowers. They're the most annoying thing to listen to.

Be a bit more considerate, would you? Yeah, please, think of others in the future. You've got neighbours. to listen to. Be a bit more considerate, would you? Yeah, please, think of others in the future. You've got neighbours. Well, they ain't going to come around and clean my car, do my vacuuming. No, I don't think so. It's your carpet,

it just needs to be done in a sensible time. Maybe you should do your chores before you go swanning out for dinner. Yeah, actually, that's a good, that's good.

No dinner until you've done your chores. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Friday Flashback. But it's an age-old tradition, Friday Flashback. Got to pick a song at least 10 years old.

This one's 30. How old would this song be? I don't know. 40? Timeless. 40, wouldn't it? Timeless? But also timeless.

And you've been promising for weeks, ever since your last Friday Flashback, that you're going to play ABBA. And I thought it was just a bit of bravado. You forgot to forget. I thought you'd forget. Well, I didn't forget. Thank God.

Okay, 1974. Wow, okay. Yep. And this was also in their Eurovision. This is when they were in Eurovision. Well, this was the song they won with. Didn't they win? Yeah. Were they a they were in Eurovision. Well, this was the song they won with. Didn't they win? Yeah.

Were they a joke back in the day? In the day were people like... I don't think so. What did you just say? Excuse me, what? I don't know. Excuse me, you know how my mum feels about ABBA? She doesn't want to go to an old person's home because she said all of the people in there

will be listening to ABBA. And she said she'd know. And my mum would be will be listening to ABBA and she said she'd know. And my mum would be the one listening to ABBA. I know. I see what. On a healthy diet of ABBA. Oh, you know,

we had zero. My parents have got great taste in music. Benny, Bjorn, Agnitha and Annie Frid. My mum. What?

Is that why it's called ABBA? Is it the letters of their name? So original. We're all learning things. I do want to tell you from the ABBA songs because I asked. So this is the people's ABBA song because this is what was. Okay.

Dancing Queen. Oh, I was a big fan of that one. Does that not make it? That was the last. Really? I'll the last. Really? It was beaten by Super Trooper. I don't know that one. My mum loves that song.

Great song. Then Mamma Mia. Mamma Mia. Yep. Here we go. The movies. Yeah, it ruled it for me. You didn't like the movie, did you?

The second movie? You said you hated it. Don't. You're throwing me in it because we know someone in that movie. Megan said she hates that movie. No, Cher was in it. The song that came second is the song that the producers were really, well, two-thirds of the producers,

Mountie and executive intern Anya, were really pushing for this to be the one that we played. And I said, I promised the people I would play ball with their votes. Gimme Gimme Gimme was second. That was weird that that was more than Dancing Queen. It's not a banger though, it's saunters. Gimme Gimme Gimme

a man. It doesn't, like, it's not a banger. People are offended. Executive Internania, what did you say? I'm not confident that can be repeated. As a Nana Millennial, you're a big ABBA fan. She said that with this. Gimme, gimme, gimme was the whap of the day.

Was it? No. It's such a sexy song. Wow. Is it? Nothing's happening to this one. And she's like, the idea is that the singer, both of the females,

Annie and Agatha, they got to midnight and they were just like, yeah, I'll have a man. Give me, give me, give me a man after. But that wasn't it. That wasn't the one. It hasn't made it.

Without further ado. Here we go. This whole thing has dragged on for three weeks. I present to you. Yeah, I mean, don't hurry now, mate. Here we go. This whole thing is dragged on for three weeks. I present to you. Yeah, I mean, don't hurry now, mate. No, no. Well, that's the other thing is that Gimme Gimme Gimme is four minutes. Yep.

And this one's like two minutes 40. Perfect. And Executive Intern Anya said it lacked the foreplay. Didn't you? You said it lacked the foreplay. What is wrong with you today? I thought we were two friends having an off-air chat.

She's ready for the weekend. Let's do it. It's your Friday flashback. Waterloo. See them. In quite a similar way The mystery book on the shelf is always repeating itself Waterloo, I was defeated, you are the law Waterloo

Promised to love you forevermore Waterloo Couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo Knowing my fate is to be you Waterloo Finally facing my waterloo I want to find an amazing love I tried to hold you back but you were stronger

And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight And how could I ever refuse? I feel like I win when I lose Waterloo, I was defeated, you are gone Waterloo, promise to love me forevermore Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be loosed Waterloo, finally facing my wall

Waterloo, so hard could I ever refuse, I feel like I win when I lose Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo, knowing my baby's to be you. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Wanderloo, finally facing my Wanderloo. Ooh, ooh, ooh, Wanderloo, knowing my baby's to be you. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Wanderloo, finally facing my Wanderloo. See them? It's your Friday flashback. Abba.

God, they love to fade out of the old days. They loved to fade out of a song, didn't they? Lazy. Lazy. I don't know how to finish this. We'll just slowly turn it to you. How was the public reception and feedback to ABBA? Banger.

Love it. Perfect choice. Great start to the work morning. Absolute gold. Right. I wasn't looking forward to ABBA, but this is probably to the work morning. Absolute gold. Right. I wasn't looking forward to ABBA, but this is probably the only song that would have been acceptable. Okay.

Finally, this bloody station's playing a good song about bloody time. I think you might be on the wrong station. Things are sticking round, though. Yeah, you really appreciate it. Really. No, I'm not going to change the station. I'll listen till they play something alive. Come on, post Malone again. I wonder when they'll play ABBA. I'll keep listening. I'll keep listening. No, that's not going to change the station. I'll listen till they play something alive. Come on, post Malone again.

I wonder when they'll play ABBA. I'll keep listening. I'll keep listening. Is this ABBA? No, that's not ABBA either. Best Friday flashback that's ever been played. That's written there. There's got to be some negative in there.

You're sugarcoating this. Somebody said, I don't know what a WAP is, but... Don't Google. I don't know what a WAP is, but... Don't Google. I don't know what a WAP is, but that Anya's wrong. Wow. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ah.

Oh, look at that. You've heard from the mother-in-law. Yeah, Marion, I'm really sorry there was a bit of inappropriate chat before. Marion doesn't know what a WAP is, Yeah, Marion, I'm really sorry there was a bit of inappropriate chat before. Marion doesn't know what a WAP is. And also, Marion, do not Google that. No, actually, that's your responsibility to fill Marion in so she doesn't have to Google.

Perfect song for this morning. Stay away from the internet, Marion. Ask Anya today, she'll tell you. She'd love to sit down and explain it to you. There's a video and everything. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now, today is the last day for our 50K Fact of the Day.

All thanks to Save My Bacon helping you borrow money online and growing your credit score at the same time. So at midday, there'll be a question about this Fact of the Day. 500 bucks up for grabs if you can get through and correctly answer that. And then this afternoon with Brian Clint, there won't be a 4 o'clock question, but there will be the 50K Fact of the Day pop quiz with $2,000 up for grabs.

You'll have a little bit of time to study. You've got to register though, ZM online, and they could call you back this afternoon to play that $2,000 50K Fact of the Day pop quiz. Today's Fact of the Day is about ABBA, due to the fact that we played ABBA for Friday Flashback. Oh my gosh. Waterloo. Waterloo. Today's fact of the day is about ABBA due to the fact that we played ABBA for Friday Flashback. Oh my gosh. Waddle-oo.

La-da-ba-doo. I went first part, you went second part. Yeah. I lose all the people that we lost when you played ABBA. Oh, they're losing them again. We're just trying to keep the ones that came in because it was a flood. Right.

The floodgates opened. Well, this fact about ABBA comes to us from accountingtoday.com. Okay. So how's that for the meeting of two very sexy topics, ABBA and accounting? Is this a website? Do they sell calculators or something? Spreadsheets? Is there just news about accounting?

Accounting Today. I can tell you that it's just all this news about anything accounting. So your dad would go to this website. I think his dad's an accountant, isn't he? I imagine that's the kind of website you'd go to. There's some stuff you'd probably bookmark. So you check the news websites, check the weather, and check accountingtoday.com.

I've got a whole bunch of podcasts on there. Are you serious? The tax season that never ends. That's one of their podcasts. Wow. Are you telling me people listen to a podcast about that? Apparently. Wow.

Accounting in space. What? You got me. Well, I guess if you're in the International Space Station for a whole year, there will be a time when IRD want their tax return.

God, imagine the long distance calls to your accountant to ask a couple of queries. Is this a Rihanna situation? Like what happened to Rihanna? No. Okay. It did come about in 2007.

Bjorn from ABBA was accused of failing to pay 85 million kronor in Swedish taxes. That's 20 million New Zealand dollars. I was going to say that would be a lot of money. And that was only on money that he earned between 1999 and 2005. Whoa. And what do you think about-

Remember when Steps, and there was that big ABBA deal, and Steps did like an ABBA medley, and then there was like the ABBA super group, and it had bloody S Club 7 were there. Westlife were like, yeah, you can borrow the two that don't do anything. All the boomers would just play their music over and over, and all the old boomer stations. They'd get so many royalties.

So he was accused of not paying taxes. He actually won the case though. So he got off sweet. But then in 2014, there was a book and it featured a lot of photos of ABBA and of their crazy outfits. When we were looking at their videos before Megan, you were like, man, their outfits were wacky.

Even for the time, their outfits were wacky. Well, today's fact of the day is ABBA wore such outrageous outfits to avoid paying tax. Like they wrote it off as expenses. To claim back their outfits as expenses due to Swedish tax laws, it was not clothes that could be worn as everyday street wear. Wow, that's amazing. So they had to make their outfits so crazy, if they wanted

to count them as a business expense, that they couldn't be worn and say if ABBA were just going to pop down to the supermarket. Can you imagine the IRD doing a sting at the supermarket, waiting for ABBA to turn up at countdown to see if they were wearing their... Yeah, they'd call on the way home from practice and the IRD are like, got ya, straight away.

And, yeah, so that's, he said that's exactly why they made them so outrageous is because it had to be so outrageous so that it could not be worn in street or normal life.

That's crazy. And he said, in my opinion, looking back, we looked pretty crazy and at the time we were like, we are dressed crazy. No one could have been badly dressed.

And then we saw how we influenced fashion. And then it worked for them. Yeah, it worked for them. That's crazy. All because they wanted to dodge some dicks. They all just wanted to claim them 100% as a business expense. That is amazing. Do you love them more now?

Yeah, and I'd probably listen to a podcast about that. Fascinating. Yes. I mean, it probably wouldn't be long. I'd give it five minutes. It'd be tax dodges. So today's fact of the day is the reason Abba's outfits were so crazy was

to avoid paying any tax on them. Fact of the day! Day, day, day, day! Day! Megan, you've got the latest coming up. Is Ellen struggling to find celebrities for her show? Details next. And also... I was going to say, also, that's not the only thing.

Stop that. That's not the only thing coming up. What's coming up? We've got a lovely little surprise for you. Oh, piss off. I'm not in the mood for this today. It's really sweet. You're never in the mood for it. It's really off. I'm not in the mood for this today. It's really sweet. You're never in the mood for it.

It's really sweet. This is not in the schedule. Yeah, I know. We don't have time. We can cancel that one there. We'll put you there and move that to there. No, I'm not about this. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. We've got a nice little surprise for Fletch here, who's in the dark. I'm in the dark about this. You've got a puckered mouth there when I told you you had a surprise. Sour mouth. I'm like, we're all the same. We don't like surprises.

It's because mostly they're never nice. This is quite nice. This is nice. Actually. I don't trust you. We've got somebody on the phone. But just. Okay.

We'll just say good morning to Tegan. Hi, Tegan. Hello, how are you? Hi. Now, Tegan's the one that got in contact. Really the surprise. Now play the music. Now play the beard that goes in the background.

What is this? Great news. Okay. Tegan's recently had a baby. Oh, congratulations. Thank you very much. Yeah, congrats. Tell us about your baby.

So he was four weeks premature. Okay. But we listen to Fletcher and Megan all the time. Okay. It's all throughout my pregnancy, I've done it. And then he came into the world and he falls asleep to you guys and everything. Wow.

He falls asleep to us. To these two voices. That's incredible. Megan and Vaughn's voices are very... Very soothing. Well, he's actually in front of me sleeping right now. But I think if you, Fletch, if you say your name, he might respond to it.

Why is that? Am I a dad? We've called him Fletcher. Oh, what a great name. You've got a baby named after you. It's a great name. After me? Yeah.

Yeah. It's not a coincidence. No. Like, you were just like, that's a, okay. After me? Yeah. Yeah. It's not a coincidence. No. Like, you were just like, that's a, okay. Wow, that's very nice. That is a nice surprise. See? Oh, my God.

I know it's kind of weird. But, yeah, we were listening to the podcast, and I was like, I really like the name Fletcher, and my husband Mitchell really liked it too. So, yeah, that's his name. Because usually when you, like, hear a name, you're like, that's nice, but it reminds me of that arsehole I know. I'm surprised that didn't happen.

That's why primary school teachers have such trouble naming children. You're right. You didn't even tarnish it for them. Yeah, no, this is great. Yeah, my sister is a primary school teacher, so she was every name we suggested, she was like, no, oh, my God, no. That's the thing, yeah, because they deal with rat bags like all day. Yeah.

And she hasn't had a bad Fletcher yet. No, she hasn't. Yeah, because I was a good student. Let's see where we go. No one believes that. Yeah. I remember once I gun stapled some papers on the teacher's desk to the... And then we had to...

So they went to pick them up and they were gun stapled. No one was allowed to leave until they had owned up and no one owned up, but then the bell went, so they just let us go anyway. So they all had your back. But that's a good sign that everyone was... They didn't dob you in. Did they know it was you?

I can't remember if I did it in class or, like, before everyone came in, I'm not sure. Oh, so they would have dobbed on you, but they didn't. Tegan's Fletcher will be a lovely... I'm sure. Angelic in comparison. That's very lovely. Do you think you'll have more and maybe call them Vaughn or Megan?

You'd go for three? You know what's actually great about it? Oh, my God. I swear to God. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. But my mum's horse is about to have a foal soon, and we've floated the name Vaughn.

I don't want to be a horse. Maybe I want to be a man. born definitely more a horse yeah i like that one one you will be impressed we did um play our first um fortnight duo's game yesterday and we did have a victory so um fletcher's got a first victory yes baby is getting a fortnight victory and I'm not. And now I'm only named after a horse. Tegan, that is beautiful. Thank you so much. I'm honoured. I'm honoured.

Absolutely honoured. No worries. You guys pick a date. I have no responsibility, so do I? No. Okay, just checking. Double check. I didn't want to be signed. I didn't know if I was signing up for anything there.

Just double checking. Like university fees or anything? That's lovely, Tegan, but I don't want if I was signing up for anything there. Just double checking. Like university fees or anything? That's lovely, Tegan, but I don't want to do anything for it. That's lovely. I'm obligation free, aren't I? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, Vaughan Smith, not only is he a radio broadcaster and former TV panelist.

Why are you bringing that up? Life. My life's over. You've got a side hustle now. You've got an extra. You've got to use. Just for the weekend. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm a car reviewer now. A vehicle reviewer. Are you actually doing like a proper review? Yeah. Here's my problem with that. Go on. You drive a terrible car. Like one that I feel like I have to have a shower. No offence's my problem with that. Go on. You drive a terrible car. Like, one that I feel like I have to have a shower, no offence, when I get out of.

Oh, none taken. I mean, he did just give you a ride to work the other day, but if you're going to be rude like that. No, I gave him a ride. Oh, that's right. She gave him a ride to work. I'm him. Yeah, she gave me a ride to work.

Yeah, okay. I mean, like, anything is going to be better than what you drive. She's got a good point. So, the review is going to be better than what you drive. She's got a good point. So the review is going to be like it was clean. Yeah. All the doors open when I locked it.

I know the central locking you unlock the driver's door and you can get straight in without having to unlock the central locking but it only unlocks one back door so you've got to climb

through the back door to unlock the front door then climb back out and climb in the front door. Like I'll get the bus sometimes and that's cleaner than Warren's car. Yeah.

Even in corona times. That's because I don't have those patent seats. I have those patent seats that hide it a little bit better. You have been hooked up with a 2020 Land Rover. Land Rover Defender, yeah, the new. Which is kind of like my really old Land Rover, which I inherited from my popper. It's like that, but 53 years later.

Yeah, wow. And this is not a car that, like, it is flat. Like, you gave me a ride home yesterday. Yeah. And, like, I opened the passenger's door, and then when you open the door, projected onto the concrete below in the car park basement was the Defender logo, like a bat

signal. It has a projector when you open the door. Onto the ground. Just to show people that you're really rich. I don't know why it does it, but I like that it does. And then we drove out and then someone saw us that we knew, looking at us like What's happening here?

Like, Vaughn couldn't afford a Defender brand new 2020 car and we had to wind down the window and say no this is a loan. He's like I did wonder you work in radio. And then

boom up the road. But um Oh the projector lights so you don't step in a puddle. Producer Jared's just messaged us. How do you know that

Producer Jared? I follow Mr Bun Buns on Instagram. And he's a professional car reviewer. He is actually a professional. He is a negative intern on his boyfriend, Senior Bun Buns.

He works at driven.co.nz upstairs, part of the New Zealand Herald company synergy here working, guys. Oh, love that. Yeah. Yeah.

Why doesn't they give it to him to review? He's used to, like, nice cars and reviewing all these, like, awesome cars. I know. I know. I know.

He would have been better. It's just interesting that Jarrod's retained that fact, though, because whenever he talks about cars, I'm like, skiddly-dee, babadababab. Yep. Right, don't retain anything. Yeah. We're just really good friends.

So the idea is that you take this car for the weekend and then you write a review about it. Yeah. Are you worried that you're going to crash it? Because it's so flash. I signed an insurance thing yesterday. Oh, well, go to town. And then they were like, oh, have you got any plans?

And I was like, oh, no, not really. Like, because I don't want to say, yeah, I'm just going to be driving the car a week. And then she's like, oh, make sure, you know, you get a good thorough drive. I was like, okay. Oi, Megan. What?

Get this. I was playing with the. Oi, Megan. What? Get this. I was playing with the big panel while Vaughan was driving. You can go into water and it will tell you how deep the river is. Like you can wade. It's got a wade thing. Because you're going to need that in Auckland. It does this 360. It's got cameras all around the car.

And when you're trying to get into a park, it shows you like a bird's eye view of your car that it's created from all these different cameras. So you don't even need to look. It's a far cry from the Honda Accord. Do you know, when you have to give this back though, you can get one of those car logo projectors off Worsh for $15. So you can get one for the Accord.

It could say Honda. Shitty Honda. Shitty Honda. Shitty, shitty Honda. Or could you just get your face projected onto the... You could get an overnight. Surely you could get like the bat signal would be the number one thing, right? How much money does Wish make, eh?

All the money. And all the stuff that they like. Ali Express, the guy who owns Ali Express is like China's Jeff Bezos. Yeah, he's like one of the world's richest men. But Wish, I'd just love to see a behind-the-scenes documentary on Wish. Wish would make more money if they strapped her to pedal $140 gimp suits to me. Thanks. I get it.

I get that that's an option, but I'm okay. But you know that's tailored to your searching, eh? Yeah. That's on you. That's the other confronting thing. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen too?
