The ZM Podcast Network. Hey! The ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. As we inch closer to the end of the week. Do you know what I found yesterday at home? Spaceman sticks. Like lollies.

They don't have the red tip anymore. They don't have a red tip. And I seem to remember, although this may be the Mandela effect. You familiar with the Mandela effect? No. You've misremembered something so often it becomes like a fact in your mind. Because you've been locked in jail. It was about Nelson Mandela because everybody thought he was dead before he was dead. Oh, okay, right. Yeah, and there's other things like the Bernstein Beers is another great example of the Mandela effect. It's not the one you think it is.

And you'll be like, no, no, no, no, it was the Berenstain Bears. And they're like, no, no, no, it's Bernstein Bears. That's another one. If you look up examples of the Mandela Effect. Right, okay. Hold on. Examples of the Mandela Effect. Bernstein.

That was the ASP guy. Bernstein. Bernstein. No, that was Goldstein. Oh, Goldstein, yeah. So the reason it's called Mandela Effect, countless people remember him dying in the 1980s, but he was like, no, I'm the president.

Look at me, I'm the president now. What? He was the president for ages. Yeah. That's ridiculous. Yeah. And it was Looney, another example of Looney Tunes. I like that. How was Tunes spout?

T-O-O-N-S. No, tunes as in songs. It was loony tunes. It was always loony tunes. Get out of here. And it wasn't the Berenstain Bears. It was the Berenstain Bears. Right.

All these sorts of things. People think it's sex in the city. It's sex and the city. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, that's the Mandela Effect. So I'm not sure if this is that. But I didn't remember when I was a kid they had a yellow tip at one end too to make it really look like a cigarette.

Did they? No, they didn't. They had a red at one end. But they used to be thicker as well. Yeah, they did. They've got thinner because I found them and I said to the girls, when we were kids these looked like cigarettes. And then we were all like sitting at the bench being like.

So the one thing that they've tried to change about them you're still keeping on with your kids funny so then we got out red food coloring and we put a little red thing on the end and shard i walked in and she's like what are you doing i said we're having a cigarette break school's hard and children need cigarettes and the girls are just like, yeah, we're smoking cigarettes. Great parenting. Yeah, so that's where my parenting's hit in this lockdown. I actively took them away from their homeschooling to...

Make cigarettes. Dip their toe into the pool of nostalgia by smoking a not real fake cigarette. That this candy company's done everything they can to stop it looking like a cigarette. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Megan. Two minutes past six. Kia ora. Good Thursday morning. Morning to all of those essential workers

that are up nice and early. Yep. To go to work so the rest of us can have things like essential stuff. Yep. That was so beautifully... Farmers. Generic. Yep, farmers.

You've got your meat, you've got your... Yep, your milk. And then you've got your farmers of plants. What are they called? Market gardeners. Yeah. Fruit and veg growers, producers. I was reading a really sad story about one of the guys

and all the people that grow the daffodils because, you know, daffodil day is meant to be on Friday and it's their big moment, their big time of the year, their one chance to sell a heap of daffs. Yeah. And they're not going to be able to. And I know that daffodil day is going to go online. Better than growing

But imagine if you found out all your cabbages couldn't go anywhere Cabbages are yuck to look at But daffodils, if you're surrounded by them Still lovely to look at Lovely to look at Like, it sucks And it's a big fundraiser for the Cancer Society And there is still ways to donate for Daffodil Day

Even though the old daffodil out on the street situation isn't happening You can download a digi-daffodil. Yeah, you can download it, put it in your window, show your support. But that doesn't help the people that are farming them, though, does it? Well, it's still not bad to look at your window and just see beautiful amounts of daffodils. Good for the bees. Yeah. If you go to daffodilday.org.nz, there you go.

daffodilday.org.nz. COVID-19's taking away the street appeal. You can donate now online online though. There's some donations down the side. $24 helps transport to and from cancer treatments, for example. $58 helps to fund counselling for people affected by cancer in their whanau.

$107 helps provide accommodation for those travelling for treatment. $150 contributes to research that improves prevention, diagnosis and treatment. So you can still donate. You can donate straight online. And hopefully if other parts of the country get out of level four next week, or you see daffodils at the supermarket, just pick up a bunch.

Bloody love daffodils. The daffodils have popped throughout our place. Always good when you see them at this time because you like spring. Spring's coming. What's your favorite daffodil? Yellow on yellow, yellow with an orange trumpet. Oh. I didn't think. Oh, I don't know.

I don't know actually. Maybe yellow on yellow. Yellow on yellow is a bit of a classic but I've got a couple of yellows with the orange trumpets and I think they're beautiful. I think I like the orange. I've googled I think I like the orange trumpet, that in the middle. It was easier to draw when you were a kid because you could really like, you'd just get the orange felt in there. I don't know if I ever drew a daffodil.

Didn't you? We all drew daffodils around daffodil day. We've said daffodil so much it seems like a fake word now. Have they got better skin colours for drawing now? There's a whole, there's a whole pack of felts that are skin colour. Oh, wow. And it goes, the whole. That's good.

Yeah. Because, you know, in our day, we had, what, like, pink. Like, we're not... White people aren't even pink. It was a pink... No. It was a pink-pink.

Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't... You had two choices. You were a pink pig or... Like, you were... Too tanned. Just too dark a brown

that you couldn't see your eyes? Yep. There was no option. No. There really wasn't. There really wasn't. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six things that unvaccinated people can do

now that they're not going to be able to do a contiki. Contiki have said, when we kick this all back off again, you needn't come on board our bus to do a poo or be unvaccinated. A lot of big companies like Live Nation in America have said any of our concerts, and they put on pretty much every concert, will be for vaccinated people only. Yep.

And totally fair enough. So I've got the top six other options for the unvaccinated that don't want to do Kentucky. All right, that's coming up. Your chance to win some cash as well. Get your boring mundane bills paid off. We'll do that at eight o'clock. It's a free ride with the movie Free Guy.

And next, there is a TikTok trend that doctors are saying, no, please, no. Please, no. Please don't do it. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Good Lord. Doctors must cringe when they look on TikTok. I think everybody cringes when they look on TikTok.

Doesn't take too many things to come across something that you're like, oh. Don't do that. This one is a TikTok trend. You might have seen it on other social media too. It's the crate challenge. And basically,

they're like plastic milk crates. You stack them up and ascending and descending like a little crate mountain. And then you've got to run up and run down the other side as fast as you can. I don't think our milk crates would do this. Nah. We've got to run up and run down the other side. As fast as you can. I don't think our milk crates would do this.

Nah, we've got a different milk crate. They've got a very boxed milk crate. Yeah, they stack. Because after the year, they're not full of milk. You can alternate stack them. Yes. So there he is. He's done a milk run.

Yeah, I've done a milk run. I did a milk run after school. Would ours be better or worse? Wouldn't they be better? They'd be a bit more stable. A bit more stable because they interlock. But you can't put them on top of the... Oh, you can.

You can. You twist them sideways. So you could do that. Yeah. But then you would have... I think you can still put them on top of each other, though. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You could stack them up that way, that way, that way, that way when they're empty.

And then... So it'd be more stable. But then you've also got to put your foot into the milk crate, whereas these guys are just running on the top of the milk crate. I mean, either way, not good. Because I've seen some people,

like the pyramid of crates has fallen, and they have just, like it's smashing right in the middle of the back. Yeah. In the back. They fall onto the jagged plastic that they've just knocked over. I just saw someone

try and attempt it on a bike. They fell from the very top on a bike. On a bike. Impressive they got up there though. Yeah. It's impressive they got up off the ground after that fall.

I saw a cop doing one. I'm imagining he was just walking past and they're like, do it, do it. And he did it. But it was like real wobbly. But he got up there and got down. Nice work. So a surgeon in the UK has said, please don, do it. And he did it. But it was like real wobbly. But he got up there and got down. Nice work.

So a surgeon in the UK has said, please don't do it. Not only is it orthopedic injuries, but we're talking about head, neck, back. You could really severely injure yourself. You could hit your neck, your back, your head and your crack. Crack. Yeah, still say that one. Ligament injuries, dislocations, including life-threatening ones like spinal cord injuries or intracranial bleeds.

So don't be bloody stupid. It's like the new ACC ad where that guy's about to jump into the river off that cliff. Oh, yeah. And they have to think about who's going to be affected by the silliness. Yeah. Whereas when we were growing up, the ACC ads were just literally like this old woman ate shit on a glass table and lay there.

Oh, my God. Like, that's... I was thinking about that the other day. There was... There's a meme going around. There was four of them. Yeah. That I remember.

Was there a shower one? The guy getting out of the shower, the sexy, muscly, blonde guy that was, like, New Zealand's heartthrob in the early 2000s. And he slips, and he cracks his head open. Yeah, Zach somebody. He's getting out.

Yeah, he gets out. He slips over. The person that's walking and they fall down the stairs. Do you remember that one? And the stairs had an angler. Wasn't it an old lady who took a tumble down the stairs? Was it? No, it was a mum carrying something.

Oh, was it? The lady who was talking about muesli bars and she absolutely tanked it over a truck and went through the glass table. And because that was the idea. You thought it was an through the glass table. And because that was the idea you thought it was an ad for something else Yeah, that was the idea. And the ladder guy who was like, when I'm cleaning my gutters and he's up on the ladder and his ladder goes

backwards. Yeah, and then those were... They all just lie there and go and you're like Yeah, well the blonde guy was like bleeding from the head and like twitching on the bathroom floor. Oh my God, that's so traumatic. And they would play in like primetime television, those ads.

Yeah. And so now the ACC ads are like, oh, well, if I do this, I could end up in a cast. It's like, let's get some of those old ads back. They were great. No, I think they were really traumatic for me as a kid. I found a YouTube clip that does the whole thing. Oh, yeah, Solar Shield was the one, the guy that was painting on his ladder,

but his ladder wasn't secured properly. So you think it's an ad for painting your house, but it's not. Also, wasn't there an ad for, like, electricity safety for your caravan? And it was like someone was plugging in their power cord or running a power cord out to their caravan, and they didn't have the right plug. Yeah, and you could see it go. Oh, my God.

That's horrific. Yeah. It was a real stage in the 90s and early 2000s with the ads. Remember that one? And it was horrendous. And I remember seeing it, and it just, like, stayed with me. Remember Molly's Not Eating Her Peas? Eat Your Peas, Molly.

It was about, like, how kids, if they see domestic violence domestic violence it's the cycle and it's got to be broken and this kid is like viciously like beating the hell out of her doll for not eating the peas and it was just like oh my god it was the real shock value of the ad they really but do you know what have you seen these bloody tiktok trends maybe that's what we. And you've got to have a word to your bank about that bloody ad with the monster from where the wild things are. A, Morris Sedak's going to sue you. But have you seen the monster ad where the girl gets kicked out of the treehouse so she goes off into the bush and she meets a monster and makes a treehouse

but then the kids that kicked her out of their treehouse, they come to her treehouse and then the monster's like, he just gives them this eye. Are you hallucinating? I haven't seen that ad. No, it's an ad. I've seen it. It's weird. It's the weirdest ad. Really? And then at the end it's like Westpac, better together. And you're like,

what the f... How much money did you guys make in the first half, you know? Ad agencies, eh? Just on crack. It's like the guy from the bank and the guy from the ad agency were just like, how much drugs can we do this weekend? We can write it all off.

ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Well, there's been a rule change and a loophole has been closed for coffee lovers and drinkers of coffee that were still finding their delicious coffee treats at service stations and bakeries during Level 4. Well, I think this is why they've had to do a bit of a flip-flop on the, because initially they were like, yes, servos, yes, because essential workers, you know, nurses going to shift, need a coffee, truck drivers, you know,

many people stopping for fuel and also grabbing a little bit of food to eat and a drink. Well, people were ending up lining up around the block, just level four punters in lockdown because they knew they could get a delicious mochaccinia or a flat white

at the servo. And of course, that's not what you need. You don't need people in their bubbles mixing with essential workers. And so there has been a rule change now from, what is it, MB, Ministry of Business and Innovation and Employment. I don't even know what that meant. Yeah, the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment. Right.

MB. MB. What did they say, MBE? MB. MB. MB. MB. What do they say? MBE. MB. MB. So, yeah, initially the Motor Trade Association said that they asked MB at the start of lockdown. They said, yes, go for it.

Yeah. It's been flip-flopped, revoked. And they said they're frustrated because obviously, yeah, so be nice to the people at the servos. If you go for a coffee. Coffee and they say no. And they say no because they're not allowed to. They're not allowed to. Yeah. That's an MBE issue.

M-B-I-E. Not MBE. MB. I know, but they say MB. MB. But it's spelt, yeah, MB. MB. Yeah.

Okay. So be nice to them. So no coffee yet. Well, there's still instant coffee. Yeah. Well, we get a lot of sick for liking Al Macona, don't we? Yeah. We totally do. Delicious.

Does the trick. The top six is coming up. The top six options for Kentucky people, because you're not allowed to go on the Kentucky bus, as they've said. Yeah. No Kentucky if you haven't had the sticky. The sticky with the needle. Yeah.

That's good. That's good. That was just on the spot. It was good from the spot. It was good from the spot. See, Westpac ad? That's how it works on the needle. Yeah, that's good. That's good. That was just on the spot. It was good from the spot. It was good from the spot. See, Westpac ad? That's how it works on the spot. Not Monster Carries Boat Through Forest.

No relation to banking. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. 626. Yeah. 2026. Okay. That is the year that Eve Urban Air Mobility says that its flying taxis will launch in its first Australasian city, Melbourne, Australia. So it's like Uber, but for helicopter-y, plane-y thingies.

Are you practically getting into it just to drive an oversized drone? Uh-huh. It looks like it. How do we feel about this? So are they piloted? They've got a pilot, right? No, I think they're autonomous. I think they just...

Yeah, they... It's like an iPhone update. I'll give that a minute. Yeah, give it a go. To iron out any bugs. So they're going to launch in Bangkok, Manila, Melbourne, Singapore and Tokyo by 2026. That's their plan to get it done. So can they land anywhere or like at their certain like park?

That's the thing. It's going to need like a special like, is there a, do they have to get a building and land on top of a building? Yeah. Sizable things with giant spinny blades. Yeah. How are they going to monitor the airspace? And then, like, could you be having a picnic at a park and someone, like, just drops down next to you?

Gets out and... Yeah. If you had a problem with someone flying their drone around the park, you're going to have trouble with something 80 times as big dropping it beside you and blowing your picnic blanket to pieces. So, zero emission and low noise, apparently. Oh, okay. So, in July 2020, they flew an engineering simulator of it.

And then in October 2020, that year, they had the first one fly. Not to the standards required to put passengers in it. Right. But they said it's just a year. It's the go. And, you know, with roads costing a fortune to re-engineer for a heavier load And, you know, every time there's a new ride share It just clogs up the road more

They said the air's the place to be Yeah, I'll still wait and see how that goes Yeah Because, like, once you get a few of them You know, like, the airspace is going to be... And where's it taking you? That's the other thing. Yeah, and what about places like...

Imagine you finish work in Wellington on Lambton Quay and you're just like, I'll just get an air taxi. Yeah. And it goes up above the building and then it blows you to Blenheim because it's windy. It's a nice weekend, though. As long as the wind dies down, you've got to get yourself a lovely weekend doing some vineyards.

Yeah, but I was going to Miramar. Oh, right. Well, you're going to have to wait until the wind dies down, you've got to get yourself a lovely weekend doing some vineyards. Yeah, but I was going to Miramar. Oh, right. Well, you're going to have to wait until the wind turns around from the south and blow you back to Miramar. Yeah, okay. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. We were just wondering why we've been blessed with so much wiggle news this week. And it's because we've been doing promo for the new eight-person lineup. So you've been Googling the new Hot Wiggle.

A lot, haven't you? He's from Justice Crew. John. That doesn't mean anything. He's all buff. He's going to get the, that's why they've done this. The Purple Wiggle.

They've cast a new Hot One. So Megan's hooked in. Right. Mums will be going to the show, so they're not even going to worry about the songs. Four women and four men now. So that's good. And a diverse lineup.

But we have learnt something that is actually, as a New Wiggle fan, blown me away. So the Blue Wiggle is Anthony. He's like OGA. He's original. Like, been there for years.

He's 57 and he's made a revelation on an Australian radio show. No, for years I mimed, believe this or not, I mimed Simon's voice for years. I had this low voice. People would ask me to sing in public and they'd be very disappointed. He doesn't even sing. He doesn't sing. He mimes.

But he used to sing. I don't know when he stopped doing this because he's also like, he's talked about the fact that his voice isn't, everything's changed as well. His voice is... Not jewels and stuff. Oh, right. Yeah, he got it really bad. Lost his voice has had, didn't even have a

speaking voice for a while. Even when he speaks, he sounds, it's quite strange. Yeah. Is he on the, does he do the durries or something? Is he on the durries quite a bit? I don't know if he's ever done the durries. That's if you went out the back of a Wiggles concert and you saw a Wiggles having a does. Jeff's having a sleep. Jeff's having a sleep.

Why is Jeff sleeping so much? Nah, he'll let T's get a problem. Problem with the bottle. It's something. Who knows what it is. So he's like worth that much money but he doesn't even like sing. Yeah. So he's like worth that much money but he doesn't even like sing. Yeah.

So he's basically the Victoria Beckham of the Wiggles. Yeah, fair call. Fair call. So when are we waiting for his fashion line? And his hot husband to do something cool. Yeah. A lot of similarities.

From the dusty ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Kentucky, the famous bus company. Yeah. I didn't get to do a Kentucky when they were being handed out for free. Neither did I. To radio announcers. It's a sticking point for Vaughan.

But at the same time, there was only a very small gap in my life where that would have been what I was into. Same. Because if you try to put me on a bus now, I'd be like... A bus, yes. But not a bus that drives all day, drinks all night, and you can't poop on it.

That's not me, baby. You need to poop during the day. I need to poop on this bus. It needs to stop at little things during the day. I love a drink as much as the next guy. But I'm not drinking my way around Europe when there's things to be seen and history to be enjoyed. And then before that, I just wouldn't have been in any state in drinking

to go on a bus the next day. I'm a vommer. I've got bad motion sickness. There's a lot of bus, a lot of bus. A lot of bus. I would have literally had to sit up front with the driver being like, oh, thank you for letting me sit up front so I don't get sick back there. And then I would have been that guy on the bus.

And I'm a sympathy vommer. So if anyone else did. The smell of a good vom will get me going too. Yeah. So they've said, and this is going to be the new norm really, a lot of companies and places are saying that if you're not vaccinated, you're not coming in or you're not coming on. Totally.

Totally. So I've got the top six Kentucky alt options for the unvaccinated. Okay. So if you're like, I really want to do that. It's as simple as getting a series of two jabs that will protect you against a deadly virus. I'm not doing that. I don't even think you're going to get into a country after this without a vaccine. What about people who can't have the vaccine?

Maybe a letter from your doctor. You have to prove that you can't. Yeah, but not one of those downloaded certificates that the anti-vaxxers were downloading off. They're like, I don't have to get one. I don't have to wear a mask I don't have to rematch. Yeah. But then also, you're not getting travel insurance. So if you end up in a hospital overseas and

you don't have a vaccine and you're ending up needing like American or Europe. Yeah, good luck there. Healthcare. Good luck. That's going to cost you thousands. Good luck there. Number six on the list of the top six Kentucky alt options for the unvaccinated is the anti-vax Kentucky tour.

We get to go to all those countries keen to have anti-vaxes. And that list includes number five on the list of the top six Kentucky alt options for the unvaccinated. Flag travelling. Just go and sit in a non-moving bus

with other people who believe YouTube is over scientists and talk through your theories. That sounds like a good time, but I doubt it will last very long. Number four on the list of the top six Kentucky options for the unvaccinated, a virtual internet tour of all those places you'd usually go. But if you can't see it with your own eyes and touch it with your own hands,

does it even really exist? Sounds to me like the Eiffel Tower is nothing more than an invented thing. Yeah. Conspiracy away. Number three on the list of the top six Kentucky alt options for the unvaccinated. Taking a fun bus trip to the local lockdown protest where you'll be able to get out

and spit at the police when they're just trying to keep lockdown orders to protect members of the public from a virus that's killed millions I hope while you're there you'll be pepper sprayed by the police and tased from a distance I'd be all for a police dog too,

but I don't want those cute doggles getting the vid. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six Kentucky alt options for the unvaccinated. Get on a bus with a whole lot of other conspiracy folk and drive it straight into the ocean because drowning's a conspiracy as well. No one dies from inhaling water.

There's a whole world under there. They just don't want you getting into it. Yeah, they don't want you to see it. Yeah. It's as ridiculous as what they say. You've been in a shower. Have you ever drowned? No.

So, exactly. Exactly. It's the government. It's the government. I know. They do this. It's the government's scare tactics. They do this. We can't breathe water. I's the government. It's the government. I know. They do this. It's government scare tactics. They do this.

We can't breathe water. I'll show you. Number one on the list of the top six Kentucky alt options for the unvaccinated. Here's an idea. Get vaccinated and then you can go on an actual Kentucky. And if there's a microchip in it, I'll give you five bucks. I'll give you five bucks each. And then you've got a cool microchip.

Yeah. Easy peasy. And then just walk next to a big magnet and like blast the microchip. Yeah. Ta-da, done. Ta-da, now you don't have the disease. Ta-da, that's today's top six. Well, it's on.

The Paralympics in Tokyo are on. Baby Wednesday, the 25th of August, saw swimming happening. Jesse Reynolds, 7th in the heat, 12th, did not qualify for final. That was the... And this is... It's kind of... So many different categories. That's what my kids asked.

They said, how can someone with one arms but two legs swim against someone with no legs? I said, it's all different. Yeah, they have different names and categories. Yeah, that was the S9s, apparently. In cycling, Sarah Ellington was the 11th fastest in the 3,000 metres. We also saw Anna Taylor get the fifth fastest and Nicole Murray

qualified for the bronze medal ride being fourth fastest but did not get the bronze medal. We lost our wheelchair rugby to the US yesterday. 63.35. Now, that's got to be one of those sports. It's pretty brutal, eh? It's so brutal.

It's crazy. If you've never seen it, it's played on a basketball court. How do they not mash their hands up? They do. Good Lord. They do. They must sustain a lot of injuries. But yeah, they basically have these absolutely smashed up wheelchairs

and they just go at each other trying to get to the other end. So wheelchair rugby happened. Surprisingly, I didn't know, but apparently the US is a force to be reckoned with. Right. mashed up wheelchairs and they just go at each other trying to get to the other end. So wheelchair rugby happened and surprisingly, I didn't know, but apparently the US is a force to be reckoned with. Right. And that today, Sophie Pascoe takes to the pool for the first time. Oh, she's great, isn't she? And the 100 metre breaststroke, the heats and then the finals. So two o'clock this afternoon, the finals, the heats are on

and then 10.40 tonight, the finals. This is the SB8 heats and then the finals. So 2 o'clock this afternoon the finals, the heats are on and then 10.40 tonight the finals. This is the SB8 heats and finals and the Whirlblacks backing it up again today against Great Britain. So those are the two things you can expect to see today at the Paralympics. What time's the Whirlblacks game? The Whirlblacks

game, 11pm tonight. A late one. Oh, it's a late one. Well, yeah, TVNZ Duke starts highlights this morning from 10.25 and then kicks into all the live stuff after that. Yeah. There's, I just looked up the badass sports of the Paralympics. World Sheet Rugby's number one. Yeah.

There's one called Boccia. Boccia? It's like bowls. It's like bowls. It's like bowls. There's a jack. There's different colored bowls. You've got to get as close as you can to the white jack. But it is for people who are in wheelchairs with neurological conditions.

Okay. So are there any other sports that aren't at the normal Olympics? There's that one. Are there any more? Or are they all pretty much? Tennis. Tennis is wheelchair tennis. There's powerlifting. Are there any more? Where are they all? Tennis. Tennis is wheelchair tennis. There's powerlifting for people with, again, all different categories in it.

Fencing's there. That's the wheelchair, wheelchair fencing. So you've got to control your wheelchair to get forward, but also like stab them with the fork. Goal ball, which is for blind athletes and visually impaired athletes who are using further eye shades. Right. And they have to throw the ball into the other team's goal.

But the ball has a bell in it. I was going to say, because have you seen the blind cricket? Yes. That is nuts. Like, it's scary enough facing a bowler in cricket anyway when you can see. But these are coming in hot. With a bell in it. And wheelchair basketball as well,

which is just basically wheelchair rugby with a different shaped ball. That thing's savage as well. Well, good luck to all of our Paralympians. So you can catch the action on TVNZ's Duke today. Next, we need to chat. Half of Kiwis are addicted to something. And it's not good. Is it cheese balls?

Maybe. That's not what I'm going to talk about. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. There is a new addiction. Actually, they say new, but is it new in New Zealand? And they're blaming the pandemic for it, COVID. It's gotten way worse. So New Zealanders are addicted to devices, to their screens.

Of course, we've got to stay inside. What else is there to do? About half of the people surveyed found the amount of time they were in front of their screens had significantly increased since the pandemic, and most people are using their smartphones for their screen time. You know what? That Monday ding at like 9 o'clock when Apple gives you the daily screen report, that's going to be off the charts this time.

Do you remember what yours was Monday just been? Like what's your, what are you averaging? Well, you can look back. I can't remember. I never look at it. I don't like to be confronted by that. My average is usually around two hours, but it says here that people have been averaging five hours of screen time a day.

Oh, I'm at four hours a day. That's just on your phone, though. That's down 21% from last week. Well, that's good, isn't it? All screen time. That includes laptop, like TV. Oh, yeah, I hate that. PC.

I could shut this laptop. That's fine. That's four hours just on your iPhone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's hectic. But also 22% of people, this is so sad, feel bad about their body or it hurts their self-esteem being on their devices so much. Because obviously the content is on social medias.

It's addictive. Gives you that dopamine hit, doesn't it? No, what you do is you go to Instagram and you go hashtag ugly. And then you see people who think they're ugly, but they're not ugly, and then you're like, well, that's everybody then. Okay, right. So your moral of the story is we're all ugly? Yeah.

Well, everybody thinks you're ugly. Everybody thinks they're uglier than they are. So if you just come to terms with that, at least you're not a Mahindra. You know that brand of car? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the ugliest cars around. That's what everybody should just be thinking. When you look in the mirror and you're like, I'm not having a good day, at least I'm not a Mahindra.

You're a Toyota Hilux Ute. You're old reliable. Yeah. Okay, right. You're a Hilux. Maybe you're a Ranger. If we're sticking to the Ute analogies. Maybe you're a BT50. That you're a Ranger. If we're sticking to the ute analogies. Maybe you're a BT-50.

That's a Mazda BT-50. I've got a lot of time for a Nissan Navarro. I think they're an attractive ute. I don't know any ute. An Isuzu. Oh, yep. Isuzus, I think they do. Is that the D-Max?

That's a good-looking ute. Yeah, okay. At least you're not a Mahindra. It's a world full of utes. Right. And at least you're not a Mahindra. It's a world full of utes. Right. And at least you're not a Mahindra. All I got from that was... But Vaughan, I hear you say,

someone's got to be the Mahindra. Do they? No. This is my rules. This is my ute analogy and I'll say no one has to be a Mahindra. Okay. Since it's lockdown,

can we just like cut to producer Carl Wayne and ask her what her screen time is at currently? Oh, she's at... Oh! Carl Wayne at the social media desk. It is your job, but what's your screen time? So I was just looking at my total for last week. 60 hours and 39 minutes.

That's more than a working week. Wait, that's your phone. Yeah. That doesn't even include the TV. That's eight and a half hours a day. And what was yesterday? What was yesterday just alone?

Because that was all. What do you watch your, because you just, didn't you watch three episodes of Nine Perfect Strangers, Half a Fleabag and stuff as well? What are you watching those on? I watch a lot of it on my phone. So that counts. That counts as screen time. Yeah.

Dude. I don't know. I think yesterday was six hours. Well, that's not bad. And are you okay? Yeah. I don't have square eyes just yet. Okay.

Yeah. Wow. Good Lord. Do you get a serious question? Do you get like a headache or, because I find watching things on a small screen harder. It's not just the fact that it's so small. No, it's easier because I can lie down in bed and just. Helen does the opposite.

When she's looking around in real life, she gets sore eyes. Everything's so far away. Have you made one of those boxes? What? You know how people will ask lockdown people when making those home cinemas out of a box?

Oh, no. And you cut the hole and you put your phone on the top and then you can lie on your back and you just look up and it darkens everything.

That seems too far for me. Yeah. I'm just saying. Just have a little go at that. All right. 20 past seven, your chance to get your boring mundane bills paid off

and get a free ride with the movie Free Guy coming up just before the news at eight. Next on the show, we're wasteful. How wasteful are we? What are we wasting? Time. Well, energy. Life on our phones, by the little sounds of it.

You bet. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Do you think now would be a more confronting time to, given that you can't go takeouts, so you've got to buy food, and then at the end of the week, or when you're going to do more shopping, there might be food left that you're not going to use,

and you'll be confronted by your wastefulness. Do you think that, or do you think because going to the supermarket's a bit more of a mish, you only buy what you need, and you would use what you had. Well, see, I'm only buying what I need and I'm looking at what I've got at my house. Yeah. But supermarkets are slammed at the moment.

And also, just on a note on that, if you missed it yesterday, there are so many supermarket workers that have been caught up with locations of interest all because they are working at a location of interest. Yeah. So they're having to stay at home. So some supermarkets have closed. Which puts pressure on neighbouring supermarkets. And so don't, only buy what you need.

I found like probably less wasteful because you look around your house and eat absolutely everything you've got before you want to go back. I'm like, we're shocking at buying. Oh, we'll do that on Tuesday. And it gets to Tuesday and everybody's like, CBF. So we just get a take out and then we might use parts of that somewhere else in the week, but then

we've got pigs and chickens. So I feel like we're not wasting because the chickens turn into eggs and the pigs turn into poos. But cuteness as well. And then you're going to eat the pigs one day. No. If the pandemic gets worse.

Yeah, suddenly you're just shearing right out of a pork. I'd be sheep. This is the order of the animals we've got in which I'd eat them. Chickens wouldn't be good eating. They're not eating chickens. They're laying chickens. They'd be leathery. You can use the eggs.

They'd be better to keep on board for the eggs. Sheep, they're the first out the gate. They're laying chickens. They're leathery. Yeah, but you can use the eggs. Yeah, yeah. So it'd be better to keep on board for the eggs. Sheep, they're the first out the gates. Okay. They're gone. Yeah. In fact, I might just go home today and eat one. Try to gut swallow them. They're dumb.

They're dumb. They're dummy dum-dums. They push through the fences. They're dum-dums. Okay. Next. Yep. Would it be the goats?

Who are the original farm animals? They're the first ones we got. Yeah, and you love Helen. They're pesky, but you know. Would it be the goats, who the original farm animals are the first ones we got? Yeah, and you love Helen. They're pesky, but, you know. The cows? Yeah. I think the pigs would probably be the last.

Oh, wow. I can't imagine eating any of those. No. No. They're all like too. They're too cute. They're petty ones. They've got personality. But hey, if push comes to shove.

Well, hey, we're not that far into the pandemic. Let's not get too crazy. I'm driving home. I'm like, no, that line in here was too long. All right, if push comes to shove. Well, hey, we're not that far into the pandemic. Let's not get too crazy. I'm driving home. I'm like, now that line in here was too long. Kids, come on. The reason you ask about wastefulness is because there's been a study done. The average shopper in America throws out $1,500

of food a year, which they said when they compared it to their grocery bill, not takeouts, not restaurant meals, that's a fifth of their grocery bill, not takeouts, not restaurant meals, that's a fifth of their grocery bill after every shopping trip. Wow. But that's the problem. It's like you say, you buy it and put it in the fridge with the intention of,

we'll have that on Tuesday or Wednesday and then it gets to Wednesday and you get takeouts. Yes. And you can't do that during the level four. No. Yeah, yeah. So then apparently the way people combated this is they went grocery shopping by themselves, which is the only option at the moment, isn't it? And because they're more likely to stick to their list, when they went with other people,

they were more likely to be influenced as to what to chuck in the trolley. Peer pressure. Do you want lollies? I don't know. Do you want lollies? Yeah, let's get lollies. Yeah. And you also, they enable you.

If you're like, should we get ice cream? And they're like, yeah. You're like, okay, well, if they're eating ice cream, they'll get fat with me. You totally get more treats when you're there with someone else. I know we've got the full meal plan for the week, but I might feel like impromptu Mexican. I better grab three kits for burritos.

That's how I go shopping. Who knows? We might be out of toothpaste. Three things of toothpaste. You can't be caught short. I'm shocking at it. I'll go to get like one thing on the way home and spend like a hundred bucks. I'm just... That's so wasteful.

Yeah. Oh, new cat food. The cat definitely won't eat that. But hey, I better try. Dumb old me. But apparently, yeah, quite wasteful. Yeah. The Somerset, quite wasteful. Yeah. The Somerset South Island Masters Games are back.

If you're ready to congregate and compete, we'll make your experience complete. The games are happening in Timaru from October the 7th till October the 16th.

Now, if I said to you, what's your favourite kind of cheese? Now, if I said to you, what's your favourite kind of cheese? Oh, no. I can't answer that.

That's picking a child. I got so many favourite cheeses. I got baby cheeses. I love you, baby cheeses. But if it, like, would it be a camembert or a brie? No, it'd be like a havarti or a gouda or something. It'd be a blue for me. Or a blue. I love a blue.

I don't mind a blue in a salad but not on a cracker or on a cheese board. It's because you're a basic babe. It's because I'm basic. But I love a good camembert or brie. You know those flash ones? You know like a washed rind or something. Yes. Well.

About the parmigiano reggiano. Oh I see. Yeah but that's not a cheese you eat on its own. That's like. That's the cooking cheese. Yeah. So, okay, and this is a surprise, right? I'm just going to come out with the number one favourite cheese in the UK, and it's the old processed cheese slicer and plastic wrapper.

Yes. 40% of people said their favourite is the cheese slice. They're so close to France. Like the cheese dale. I know. They can literally go on a train to Paris and like try, go to a fromagerie. The most amazing cheeses.

So it went processed cheese slice, 40%. Cheddar, 33%. But who did they ask? British people. Yeah, but was it just like anybody can enter? God, I hope we're going to cut a good trade deal with them, eh, to get our cheeses over there. Or did they ask the kids?

What's your favourite cheese? I'm just imagining the audience of Jeremy Kyle, though. Yeah. I love my plastic cheese. Single slice. I love it. I love it. I have a sandwich. I eat it. I roll Single slice. I love it. I love it. I have a sandwich.

I eat it. I roll it up. I eat it. I fold it. It cracks. I eat a stack of cheese. And this is my stepsister. We're getting married.

Yeah, we're going to have cheese. We're going to have cheese at our wedding. Making like a stack of cheese out of them. You fold it and it would crack. That was good stuff about those cheese. What about the cheese that used to come in the, do you remember when? Yeah, triangles. Triangles.

It's not as popular anymore, but there used to be a plastic. With the cow, the laughing cow? Yeah. Yeah, I still get that. No, but there was like a Bajo brand as well when we were young. I'm pretty sure it was like Chez and Dale that did one of them as well. So, I mean, overwhelmingly, the UK loved their processed cheese slice in the individual plastic wrappers. And it just, it got us talking about the times

when you love like the shit version of something. Like where you could have, you can have the cheap rip off, the cheap knock off, and you're like, that's better. It's better. I like this better. Or just like the lowest of something.

Like, I mean, of all the cheeses, a processed cheese slice is number one on this list. And I mean, I get that. I love them. It's not your number one. I'd go for some bougie European cheese or something. Yeah. If I could pick anything. But I'll wait 100 dials at the end.

We want to take your calls and your texts as well. 9696. What do you like the budget version of? Better than the You know you've tried the more expensive one Or maybe it's the bougier version But you're just like No that'll do That'll do pig

That'll do Yeah We wear it a bit Because we'll go and have some coffee over a Oh yeah we Espresso Love our Macona Yeah

But that's upper crust instant. Yeah, that's fancy instant. Yeah, it's not Greg's Red Ribbon. We're not tradies. Shuck. You've got flash instant.

We've got, yeah, we've got flash instant. What's the other? I don't know if there is a flash instant. Red Ribbon rubberized. Nescafe. Nescafe's got an instant

that's a bit powdery. You want granules, darling. Oh, we want gran a bit powdery. You want granules, darling. Oh, we want granules. Three-stripe granules, darling. ZDM, Splash, Vaughan and Megan. So there is a poll that asked people in the UK what your favourite cheese is. 40% said wrapped processed cheese slices or like the cheese slices that you have on burgers. As their number one.

As their number one. Are you sure it wasn't like, what cheese do you have on burgers. As their number one. As their number one. Are you sure it wasn't like, what cheese do you buy? No, it was your favourite. Because I can understand that that one gets purchased a lot. Well, we've got somebody on our, we're live streaming on our Facebook page, FVMZM, and they've said, look, I can speak for most of the UK. That can't be true. Well, I'm sorry, Jay Brinkworth.

You're obviously out of touch with the common man. Yes. But we want to know if you're one of these people that likes the budget version of something. Yeah. Like of all the cheeses you could get, if you could get any cheese, why would you get that? Classic wrapped cheese.

I mean, people just do like... I mean, I do from time to time. Is it the nostalgia? Is there something about... It's just about when you fold it in half and then in half again and in half again. You make a cheese tower of squares and then you eat the individual squares. There's something nice about that and calming. And it breaks. But when you think about it, should cheese do that?

Yeah. So, Jessie, do you like the budget version of something? Morning, guys. Yeah, so mine's not a food, but for my dishwasher, I much prefer the Necessities brand dishwasher tablets from the warehouse. They're like two bucks. Two dollars. And white vinegar as rinse aid, yeah. Oh, okay.

Can you put vinegar in your dishwasher? Rinse aid's the blue stuff that the dishwasher's always like. The watery blue stuff. Yeah. Rinse aid, the light always comes on and you're like, I don't need you. I never fill that bit. No, neither. It makes your glasses shiny when you do, but it helps to work really well. Is that why my glasses have a cloudy white residue? Oh my God. Yes. You simply must use a rinse aid. Oh, well, I haven't been. Or use, or hand wash your glasses. Necessities.

How did that rank in the consumer dishwasher tabs index? I'm not sure, but I don't think it done too badly. Okay, because you know, where Megan and I have put Vaughan onto active dishwasher tabs, they are just legit. Yeah. Wait, so can you put vinegar in your rinse aid in your dishwasher? Yeah, definitely. I put like a cap every second

or third wash. But does it, does everything smell like salt and vinegar chips? No, it doesn't have a smell. It's a deodorizer. Yeah, vinegar, that's how vinegar works. Like a neutralizer. But you take the lid off

and go, it smells. Oh yeah, but as it dissipates, the smell evaporates. As it dissipates. As it dissipates. What are you, a science teacher? No!

Jessie, thanks for your call. Oh my gosh, apparently you can put a cup of vinegar in your dishwasher. And that works as like a cleaner as well. So you put the cup the right way up, do you? Jessie, white. Oh no, she's gone white. Or the brown vinegar. No, white, white.

Not malt vinegar. Not malt vinegar. It's not a chip. Malt would be at the bottom. Malt's below apple cider for this task. Right, Jessie, just checking. It's white vinegar, not malt. 100% white vinegar.

Jesus, I'm sorry we haven't had to ask. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Okay. Better living, everyone. Better living. I know. This is rock and roll, man.

This is rock and roll stuff. A lot of messages coming in. We'll get to those next. When you prefer the budget version of something. We're talking about when you like the budget version of something. We're talking about when you like the budget version of something more than its expensive counterpart. And someone has messaged in, and I'll just check this number to make sure it's not Fletcher's.

Yep, it's not. It says, I prefer Prosecco over champagne every day. Is that James? It could be James. It might be James. Yeah, you know that I got a big box delivered on Friday. So yum. Especially really cold.

You've got to really chill that Prosecco. Oh, yeah. It's got to be cold. You can't have a warm Prosecco. Somebody said Pam's. But not the cheap stuff. We're moving on. Pam's.

I know you can talk about it all day. You and all the other white girls who are missing Lulu in or whatever that bottomless brunch thing's called. I was gonna say that. I just wanna be offensive. Lu-la-ly. What is it? The Lu-la-ly in. Lu-la. Lu-la. Lu-la. Lu-la's bottomless breakfast.

Bottomless brunch. I think we'll set a location of interest as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Surprise, surprise. Yeah, they have said under 30s are affected and that would line up with Lula's bloody... Lula's breakfast dinner brunch. Lula's breakfast buffet brunch. Good times.

With Prosecco. Someone said Pam's shortbread is the best shortbread you can buy. It is good shortbread. What were the biscuits? Was this on-air or off-air? I mentioned the Rocky Roads. It was off-air. The Countdown do those.

They're like a Mallow Puffs, but it's like a Rocky. Oh, my God. They're so good. And they're like $2. Biscuits, like no-name brands are so good. Yeah. So good. Yeah, but you're rolling the dice sometimes.

Not always. Countdown's own brand of chocolate digestives, says Becky on the live, Graham. I think they're called Wheaties. Wheaties. Shay, when do you prefer the budget brand? Is this me? Yeah. Yeah, hi.

This segment is right up my alley. I am notoriously cheap. I like to say crispy. My friends like to say cheap. Okay. But Pam's toilet paper, I live. Now, Shane. Shane!

Everybody's bum hole deserves the best. That's my rule. But what ply is it? Three ply, but it's about $3 cheaper than the name brand. It's a pleasure. Oh, is it? Pam's Supreme White Three Ply Toilet Tissue. Now, Shane, do they do a long roll?

Because I'm a big fan of a long roll. Look, I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you that if you like your toilet paper a little bit bougie with prints, you can go for the print option. I prefer an elegant white. Okay, yeah, I like an elegant white as well. You can class your bathroom up with like a little leaf print if you wanted to. Yes, it reminds me of wiping my bum at my Nan's house. Nans do love a print, don't they?

Nans do. They do. Brilliant, Shane. These can now hold on. Oh, sorry, Shane. This is good, Shane. I'm looking here at New World. Can't buy them online at Countdown at the moment.

That's, for a four pack, it's $1.79. That's 45 cents a roll. Oh, no, like the four pack of the pens is about, I think, $1.39 maybe. For a four-pack? Or maybe $1.09. It's cheap. It's at least, for the four-pack, $1 cheaper than the name brand. If you buy the eight-pack or whatever.

But I'm not going to have a finger slip through because of the... No, it's three-ply. It's three-ply. No, it's three-ply. It's three-ply. Okay. And's three-ply. Yeah, okay. It's three-ply. Okay. And also, you scrunch. You scrunch.

So if a finger goes through, that's on you. That's on the scruncher. Okay. It is quality. Yeah. You're a TP influencer. I'm an influencer. You are.

All right, Shane, thank you. Shane, I was ready to poo-poo you on this, but now I'm ready to wipe-wipe with your suggestion. Thank you, Shane, our toilet paper influencer. There's some messages in. Somebody said, Badger brain, coca puffs are the best. Cokie, cokie, pop pops.

Cokie, pop pop. Fluffy puff puff. Yeah. Countdowns, chocolate Bavarian in the frozen dessert aisle is better than Sarah Lee's. Controversial opinion, but I stand by it.

Shots fired in the freezer section. Yeah. Sarah Lee too. Yeah. There's no H. It's Saralee too. Yeah. There's no H. Saralee. Oh, is it Saralee? I've had a chocolate Bavarian.

Saralee has spent her whole life going around saying, it's Saralee. Oh, like the apple pie. Yeah, I made that. Yeah, funny story. They're mine. They're mine. Budget toothbrushes are better.

Instead of the weird grip and all those different length tassels, it's just easy to hold, straight across the board, and it's cheap so you can replace it. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I like all the tassels and grips. Someone said, as a supplier, I can tell you 90% of supermarket brands are made in the same factory as the high-end stuff,

just the same product, different packaging. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. All ice cream cones are made in the exact same factory in New Zealand. I can tell you when people say they can taste the difference, they cannot. They're liars. Yeah. Yeah, okay. And then just lots of people messaging in with other great

uses for white vinegar. A window cleaner? Or maybe we should do a segment tomorrow. Uses for white vinegar. Yeah. Vinegar use. Vinegar stuff. Yeah, and then we could branch into baking soda because that's a great household cleaner too. Oh my God.

Never go past some baking soda. Better living, everybody. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. This is a segment of the show where if you've got a mum you can call. I'll ask you five questions about your dear old ma. And then I've got 15 seconds

to hit you with a bunch of names and if one of them's your mum's name, you win. And then if that happens we have a bonus round of trying to guess your dad's name. Now there has been talk that you're on an absolute hot winning streak this year. I'd say, what,

85% success rate? Yeah, I reckon. Are you just making up statistics again? Well, I'm having a... No, no, I can't remember the last time you lost. It's been a few in a row now. It's been a while.

So there has been talk, Vaughan, without you in the office. We want to make this harder for you. Oh, why? You need a challenge. You need a challenge. Why? You will now have 10 seconds.

10 seconds? Yes. I think it's too long. You need a challenge. Why? You will now have 10 seconds. 10 seconds? Yes. I think it's too long. You've just, you had 15 seconds just to rattle off a bunch of names. Okay. We're going to try it today. Also, something I'm trying today, maybe this wasn't the day to try two things at once. I'm taking

suggestions from people watching the live stream. We're live on our Facebook page, FVMZM. I guess you could take them while you're asking the questions. If you click there. And people are just chucking forward their own mother's names, mother's names that they're familiar with. Look at this list I've got already.

I don't know if I'm going to get through too many more in 10 seconds. Well, you'll have 10 seconds today. We're joined by Sarah. Good morning, Sarah. Good morning. Welcome to I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name. Vaughan now has five questions to ask about, Sarah. Good morning. Welcome to I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name. Vaughan now has five questions to ask about your mum.

Alright. What are your mum's siblings' names? Oh, God. Sue, Ed, Nan. These are your aunties and uncles. You're familiar with them? Sue and Ian. Sue and Ian.

Sue and Ian. Sue and Ian. You've actually crossed a couple off your list. Just one. There's no Ian on my list because that's a man's name. I thought you crossed another one off. Susan was on my list. Okay.

Yeah, she only had one sister. Okay. Okay. Okay. Susan and Ian. That's question one. I might check a dawn on the list. Okay, back to the one sister. Okay. Okay, okay. Susan and Ian, that's question one. I might check a Dawn on the list. Okay, back to the outside of my paper.

Okay. What's your mum doing for lockdown? I mean, apart from locking down. She's actually not around anymore, so yeah. Oh, my God. This is our first ever. Sarah, I'm so sorry. This is our first ever posthumous, but I can guess your mom's name. That's all right.

That's all right. Oh, my God. I feel bad now only having 10 seconds. Good one, guys. It's a really hard name, actually, so I think you might not get it. So Vaughn's going to feel terrible if he doesn't. Double terrible. It's all right. It's all right.

It's all good. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. I've never done this before. What an absolute fool. I feel like this is how M. Night Shyamalan would play.

Yeah. Shyamalan would play. I bet I can guess your mum's name. It's totally unseen twist. Yeah. Okay. Well, you're going to have to keep, you're going to have to change your-

I'm going to have to slightly modify some of my questions. Yes. We'll just change the post tense. When- Yeah, work through this. When your lovely mother was with us, what was the meal she cooked that was fantastic? What was the favourite thing that your mum put together for food?

She'd do an awesome spaghetti bolognese and a lemon meringue pie. Oh, my God! That's what my mum says is for dessert when there's no dessert. What, lemon meringue pie? Yeah, that means nothing. Why does it mean nothing? You can't say something bad if it's nothing.

Because it's just the best dessert, and so you're like, what's for dessert? Exactly. She shouldn't be teasing you with that. That's why I just appreciate your mum so much. She should say something like dirt. If there's nothing for, okay. All right.

Well, that's going to help you add a few more names to the list. This is quite the emotional roller coaster. I'm taking suggestions on the live stream too, so that's why I'm just writing down something. Our show is live streaming, FBMZM on Facebook. I don't know. I've got such a list already. We've got 10 seconds, remember?

Stream suggestions. How old would your mum be if she was still with us? She'd be about 56. Okay. Okay. That gives you kind of a generation to pick from, to go from. Yeah, what was that like, late 60s? I might chuck a Tracy on the list.

Okay. You said it's a hard name too, which kind of throws you because everybody, that's a very subjective situation. And final question. I'm going to come up with one on the spot. What would make you happier, Sarah, if you managed to stump him?

Or, I mean, I know there's, you know, money involved, but I kind of want you to stump him I don't think I mean it's a known name but it's not a super common one so yeah

I think she's got you final question where does your mum's family Yeah. Final question. Where does your mum's family hark from? Brisbane. Okay. I was looking for a little bit further back, like Sweden. Okay, so, oh, yeah, like Denmark and the UK. Denmark and the UK.

Oh, okay. You have a Danish flair. A Danish zhuzh. Like maybe her mum was called Pastry. Is that where you're going there? I'm going to go Danish. I'm going to put two versions of very similar sounding. I don't know if I'm going to get through all these names.

I really have to hone to get through these. If you hear your mother's name, yell out, stop. That's my mum's name. Warm all today. Wait, wait, wait. Only have 10 seconds. He's probably going to get loud too. To test his power.

So listen closely. These names will come quick. Your time starts now. Margaret, Kristen, Kirsten, Helen, Joanna, Vanessa, Tracy, Lindsay, Nola, Patricia, Dawn, Jane, Ali or Alison, Katrina, Irene, Gail, Nicola, Tracy, Sandra, Karen, Imogen, Carol, Donna, Catherine. No. Oh, no. And it's her late mother born. Did you get through your list?

What have I done? Did you get through your list? What have I done? Did you get through your list? Yeah. Did you? Well, Catherine was like Donna Catherine. That's why I heard Carol Donna Catherine at the end there. Right. You got close with Jane, but it's not quite right.

I got close with what? Jane? Jane. What is it? Jane. You sort of changed that. Yeah, Jane. Oh.

You had the right letters, but just not the right letters. Oh, no. The lovely Jean. Your tail spun me. Your tail spun me when you told me the mum's not around anymore. Emotionally ruined by that. Oh, Sarah. Oh, Jean.

The lovely Jean. Jean Restor. Oh, what a lovely sounding lady. Oh, Lemon Meringue Pie. I just remembered her dessert. She'd chuck her Lemon Meringue Pie in. She would have bloody loved you getting one over old Vaughnie, though, wouldn't she? Absolutely.

Absolutely. Wow, thanks so much for playing. I'm sorry. Thanks for that. Cheers. All right, thank you. It's 16 past eight. A rare failure today, for I bet I can guess your mum's name.

Didn't feel as good as I thought it would, to be honest. No, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe we'll go back to 15 seconds next week. No one in the live stream put Jean. Yeah, no. It was a tough one. Hey, but that's all right, next time.

You can't win them all, mate. You can't? Exactly. I just would have liked to have done it for Jean, you know? Yeah. Play ZM's Flashphone and Megan. We're in lockdown. We've already said this morning that we've had lots of screen time.

I think it's, how many hours? It was five hours a day on average. There's some people that are... Carl Wayne at the social media desk did 60 screen hours last week. But that does count when you're watching Netflix on your phone. But still, that's a screen. But also, what are we Googling? What are we looking up?

How long is this going on for? Is that the top one? How long? How long? Help. So I have the top New Zealand searches for the past week. Okay. Into categories.

Would you like, I've got recipes. Oh, okay. Top recipes. Yeah, go for it. Apple crumble is in there. How good though? Yeah, you can't go wrong with an apple crumble. So apple crumble.

Was that five or one? Five. Oh, okay. We're building up to one. Yeah. This is fascinating because if I'm listening to this list and I'm dying to know what number one is. In my car.

Say I was about to get out of the car. Yeah. I might wait to see what. Where are you going though? Are you going to the supermarket? Mm-hmm. Long lines. You can't dilly dilly in the car listening to the radio.

I need to know what number one is. I'm a radio professional. You never start with the best. Work your way up to it. Well, you started with Apple Crumble, which is very high on my ranking, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what number one is. I'm a radio professional. You never start with the best and work your way up to it. Well, you started with Apple Crumble, which is very high on my ranking, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what number one is. Exactly.

With her pucker sucker, boy. When you're opening a restaurant, God, I can't wait to come and have a scone with paprika on it. Oh, I'm sorry. And your cheese scone. That's cheese scone. A staple. Well, piss off.

You've been expelled from the Great British Bake Off. Number two is pizza dough. So people want to make their own pizza dough. Mates of mine were saying they couldn't get the pizza bases. Pizza bases? They couldn't get the pizza bases. Now I've fallen into this trap. Mates of mine, down market.

Down Tesco. Is yes not a thing? Is that not happening? No, your bases. Oh, pre-made. Pre-made bases. Okay. Down market. Down Tesco. Is yes not a thing? Is that not happening? Well, they just... Oh, no, actually, they're pre-made. Oh, pre-made. Pre-made bases. Okay.

Did you see One News last night? Yes.

I need someone to do a checkup for me, please, if you know the doctor, because I felt really, really sorry for him. He was doing the live cross and he forgot what he was saying. About the dangers of alcohol and lockdown. And he was struggling to swallow and found himself short of breath. Had a dry throat, didn't he?

Nervy on live TV. A panic attack. And I actually, for the first bit, I was like, haha. And then as it kept going, I was like, actually, this is like I feel so sorry for this guy. He's on here trying to deliver a good message. Ironically, probably a drink would have calmed the nerves, but yeah. But he just, yeah,

I felt, it got to the point where it wasn't even funny. And then Simon Dallow had to kind of jump in and save him. It was horrible. It was horrible to witness. Yeah. Simon Dallow, that was really nice of him to say. Back to my list. Yeah, I hope he's okay.

Trends on TV and movies. Oh, okay. Lion Perfect Strangers is number three, which has started. Oh, I'm hooked. So, is anyone else really enjoying the Nicole Kidman reconnaissance? She had a reconnaissance, and it all started with Little Gadoo. She's Russian. Didn't it?

The Lion movie. That was lovely. She's Russian. Didn't it? The lion movie. That was lovely. Oh, my God. Remember that? Gadoo! Slumdog Millionaire. No. What?

Lion. The movie's called Lion. It's got the name from Slumdog Millionaire. Yeah, no. Oh, it's the same guy. Wow. Nine perfect strangers. She's Russian in this, though.

Give up. Nine Perfect Strangers. She's Russian in this though. It's the same guy. It's the same guy in the movie. No, go on. So Nine Perfect Strangers. What's Homefront movie? Homefront? It's called Homefront. Oh, no, people are Googling Homefront movie. Birdfront? It's called Homefront. Oh, no, people are Googling Homefront movie.

These Google trends are from the last week. The Spy Next Door is number two. And number one is Sweet Girl. Sweet Girl is the new Jason Momoa movie. Right. Okay. His wife's been killed. And he's protecting the only family he has left, his daughter.

So you've got a bit of everything here. You've got an angry Jason Statham. Yep. Good stuff. Sorry, angry Jason Statham. Yep. Good stuff. Sorry, not Jason Statham. Jason Mamour. Do you know a good way I like to find new TV shows is Metacritic. Have you ever been to that website?

Yeah. It's great. It just ranks every kind of media really. Yeah, like games, movies, music, TV shows. And you can click on like new seasons this year, stuff that's out now of all time. And stuff that's been reviewed well. Yeah. And it just basically takes like Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb just takes all the reviews and gives

you like a ranking. Then you can find some good stuff. Do you want more lists? Yeah. Maybe one. DIY searches. Maybe one. Okay.

Go on. Number five, DIY desk. Oh, yeah. Because you're working from home. Bird feeder. You might be able to make that with something you've got around. Why do people care about the birds? It's because it's never the good birds.

You never get your tui. You never get your piwaka waka. You never get your kaka. You get a sparrow. You get shitty sparrows and robins and thrushes and blackbirds. Yeah. There's got no time for them. And then maybe a seagull and you're like, I'm not by the sea.

Where'd you come from? Where'd you come from? We're miles inland. Is there a dump around here? How to build a deck is in there. Oh, I don't think you should just be extending a deck if you don't know how. Well, it's hard to get you unless you've got the product. Yeah.

Where do you get the product? And number one and two. Number one is DIY face mask and a face mask pattern. People are making those at home. Good. That's good. Good, you've got to wear them. What if I cut out the pattern and it doesn't fit my face?

I've got a fat face. I do not need that during lockdown. Very confronting. ZDM, Splashbone and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the sounds of the earth. The what? The sounds of the earth.

Sounds or cells? Sounds. Okay. Of the earth. Okay, what if you could just start? Yeah, because that's our fault. You're like, sounds of the earth. Maybe you could please articulate for the listeners. Pronunciation. Yeah, that would be great.

Scientists are out there studying sound and what is sound other than vibrations carried through air. Whoa, man. So they're using a range of things for these recordings. They're trying to capture all these sounds, microphones, geophones, barometric. You know that thing on your wall that your dad taps?

Barometer. It's going to rain tomorrow. Tap, tap, tap. Rain's on the way. The pressure's plummeting. Yeah, there's an app I don't know what that means you should look at this app now

so they've been recording all the sounds of the earth as they believe the sounds is a good way of seeing how humans are affecting the environment and they learn in the very early stages

that grasshoppers that live near motorways have a higher pitched call than grasshoppers that don't. To cut through the noise. Bingo, they've got to get above the rumbling of the road noise. Are you telling me we're not going to be able to build roads now because of the ecosystem of the grasshoppers? No, they've adapted.

Grasshoppers have adapted. See, so we can mow through those wetlands. I've been telling them. That's more of a displacement situation then. Yeah, they'll adapt. They'll move to the side of the motorway. God, you greenies. Adapt or die.

Endangered bird that we made endangered. Just nest somewhere else if you're that stupid. And the earth's like, well, I'm warming up, so humans adapt or die. Yeah, basically. Yeah, so they make a higher pitch noise to get above the sound.

They've also seen this in other creatures that make mating calls, because simply if they can't be heard by the opposite sex to then procreate, it could be the end of their species. So they've adapted.

Right. They've adapted. Wow. And then just other sounds that they've been recording. That's the main fact of the day. But then I just think other sounds that are being interestingly recorded. Costa Rica, you've been? Oh, it's beautiful.

It's a beautiful country. Is that where you made up that story about seeing the jaguar? I didn't make up that story. I saw a jaguar. I just don't have photographic evidence hmm would you be able to get your phone out i would have probably been on my phone to be honest you would have missed it so uh i've got some sounds of costa rica okay have photographic oh hold on that's the live stream which is slightly delayed it's gone now yeah okay that was well like for a moment

I was like oh my god that sounds like me you are the sound of the jungle of Costa Rica beautiful yeah

is this going to be one of those videos and then it's like ah ah it's like one of those I hope not god I hope not imagine the long play gag

from scientists for that listen to the sound of the Costa Rican jungle and after it's like ah ah ah ah it's like ha ha ha we're scientists Imagine the long play gag from scientists for that. Listen to the sound of the Costa Rican jungle. And after it's like... It's like, ha, ha, ha. We're scientists, but we can laugh too. The comedians don't get all the jokes.

What are we listening for exactly? We're just listening to the sounds of the Costa Rican jungle. It is beautiful. If you ever get the chance to go there, it's insane. Thanks, Fletch. What is that? All right, why don't you take your paprika scones to Costa Rica? I'm sure you'll fit in well there.

It'll probably be not enough for them. Yeah. Because it's only a smoky flavor of paprika. Maybe I would if I could. It doesn't have any spice. Okay, cool. Is that a plane? That's the hum of a plane in the background, yeah.

Oh, yeah. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What. God, listen, that's horrible to hear.

I know, yeah. It is. So today's fact of the day is that crickets and grasshoppers that live beside busy motorways have a higher pitched mating call to get above the rumble of traffic. Fact of the day, day, day,

day, day, day, day, day. Your pick-me-ups during level four. Yeah, lockdown pick-me-ups. What are you doing to boost the mood? Get yourself feeling good. Yeah. These are some of the responses. Dramatic pause. Was that dramatic pause because you didn't have the answers ready? No, I've got them right here. Okay, why did you pause so long? Dramatic pause.

It's not the final of American X-Factors or whatever. Everybody really wanted Americans. The longer the pause went, the more people were. Were they? I'm aching for it. Yeah. Potato, bacon,

herbs, cheese, all mixed together. So potato is a lockdown pick-me-up. Potato, bacon, herbs,

and cheese all mixed together like a baked potato. Oh, I was thinking potato bake, but yeah. True. If it's not inside the potato,

it goes from potato bake. No, baked potato to potato bake. Now I want a baked potato. Yeah. You should. I'm gonna. Yeah.

Number two, cheese platter. This is from Mike. Mike says cheese platter. Yeah, cheese platters are great. You get a bit of cheese, get a bit of cracker. Yep. Those crackers we like, they're getting weaker and weaker. Have you noticed that?

What do you mean weaker? Is there a structural integrity issue with the cracker? You mean the chilly one? The ones that, the small rectangular oat ones. Yeah. What are they, 180 degrees or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's them.

They're getting weaker. They're getting hard to smash cheese onto. They break. Maybe you're mean. I thought you meant flavour. You mean structurally weaker. Oh, no, structural integrity. The point is being structurally weak.

Yeah, I know, but I think it's getting worse. You're overloading the cracker. I'm not overloading the cracker. If it's a hard cheese, you've got to cut it and stuff it with a knife. Don't spread it on your hand. No, I'm not spreading it on my hand. Guys, this isn't my first road cheese-based rodeo. Somebody said, oh, that's really nice.

It's the podcast when they go for a walk and online orders, lolly orders from Pick and Mix. Can you do an online lolly order? They've put plastic bags over the Pick and Mix at the supermarket. Yes. Because they don't want people COVIDing in the jelly beans. That's for the best. That's fair enough.

Somebody said comedy shows. Any shows that made me laugh? I'm not doing dramas at the moment. Yeah, that's a fair call. Just doing the moment. Yeah, that's a fair call. Just doing comedies. Yeah, that's a fair call. Owen said an afternoon run. Really helping with, you know, just the good attitude.

But exercise. And that's the thing. It's hard. You've got to have the energy, but you've got to get out there. You've got to plod. You've got to push. You've got to walk. Just do something.

It's hard because you know you're going to feel better after it. But then it's hard just to get out the door. And isn't the weather about to go to absolute fuck for a few days? Fuck, I see. Okay. Oh, my God, yeah, look. I mean, this is just Auckland. How would you describe that?

Fuck? No, wet. What are you saying, fuck? Fuck, F-U-T, fuck. I assume it's about F-U-T. It's fat. It's going to fuck. That's not a thing. That's not a thing. That's not a fat. I assume it's about F-U-T. You know. It's fat. I don't think it's going to fat. That's not a thing.

That's not a thing. That's not a thing. Stop saying it. Stop trying to make up a thing. I like it. You said the word wrong and now you're trying to make it a thing. I've definitely heard people say it before. It's gone to fat.

Well, I mean, any day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it's going to be good for a pasta bake. I'll tell you that much. Executive Internania's just messaged saying, please stop saying fat. I don't want to deal with another complaint today. Oh, yeah, because she's had the anti-vaxxers. You can't complain about the word fuck.

It's not a word. F-U-T. It's not a word. I feel like it's a F-U-T. It's where you take two words and you push them together. A portmanteau. I know, but I feel like you made that up when you said the wrong word. More lock me locked. Keep going.

More suggestions for lockdown pick-me-ups. Someone said playing Pictionary with my family over Zoom. Playing Pictionary is a pick-me-up. That's a destroyer of families. And over Zoom. There's a gin by Good George called For F's Sake 2021. Oh, I've seen that. Because there was the F off 2020, right?

Yeah. Gin. And I've seen that. Because there was the F off 2020, right? Yeah. Gin. And they've done that. There's a song and they said it's by the Black Seeds, One by One. Because when the war is over and the fight is done, we'll all be lying in the sun. And they said it's just those lyrics. And it's a happy summer song. Yeah.

Going for a bike ride while listening to my favourite music. Oh, yeah. You've been cycling? I've been loving it. And thank you, yesterday I talked about my sore neck. Yeah. Someone said I need to relax in the shoulders. I'm holding the handlebars too tight.

They asked me if it had any hand numbness. I said I had some hand numbness. So you've got to loosen your grip. Loosen my grip. Relax. Well, get carpal tunnel if you're not careful. Well, that's what I thought it was. Immediately, of course, I jumped to the worst possible conclusion.

Cancer of the wrist bone. Are you scared of falling off? Is that why you're gripping it too tight? I'm just holding on tight so I don't fall off. Okay. Well, thank you for those suggestions. Hopefully that can help.

Are you all right, Megan? Yeah. I'm all good. It's nearly home time, isn't it? Yeah, I'm all good It's nearly home time isn't it? Yeah, I'd say the show's gone to fuck It's not a word ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan So this has come from Britain

And nearly half of young women I was trying to look for an age But it just says young women So your age and younger Yeah, yeah Or just below you No, my age. So your age and younger? Yeah, yeah. Or just below you? No, my age. Okay, your age and younger.

Okay. Have faced wolf whistles or sexual comments in the past year. What? In the past year? It's been like lockdowns. Did we talk about this or did I mention I was walking past a building site and heard a builder wolf whistle at a girl and I was like, you did not just do that.

Yeah. Apparently so. And a third of those believed that they were followed. Oh, jeez. That's horrible. That's horrible. Yeah. It's actually crazy.

So, yeah, they see that happens a lot at night, and a lot of people obviously have to walk alone at night although they feel unsafe. Yeah, get wolf-whistled and followed. How hard is it to get a taser through customs? Well, back when you could go to Thailand, you could get those ones that looked like a pack of ciggies. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you turn around and you're like, yeah, you wolf-whistled. I mean, that's hot. That's the sort of stuff I like. And now you're following me. I don't find that creepy at all. Do you want to share a cigarette? Yes.

Yeah, drop them. Four out of five women, too, felt unsafe walking alone after dark. To be honest, I would have thought that was five out of five. Yeah. It's just. I don't like walking in the dark. What? You said walking in the dark.

Walking in the dark. Well, that's how dark it the dark. Walking in dark. Well, that's how dark it is. It's very dark. I'm not laughing at your fear. Oh, yeah, it's creepy. It's the noises and stuff. And then, yeah, knowing that you've been wolfhustled or followed before would only add to that exponentially, I'd imagine.

Yeah. I just thought that that wasn't, like, a thing anymore. People knew you weren't supposed to, like, wolfhustle. Yeah. I know people that have worked for companies, like construction companies, and there's been, like, massive things about it. Like, if you get caught doing that,

because our names pass a little over this building we're building. Yeah, yeah. If you get caught doing that, you're out, mate. Like, you're out of a job. See, there's a big thing about that a few years ago, eh? Yeah. And the news and builders and, yeah. But everyone, like,

I'd like to think everyone that listens to this show understands why that's not a thing. But just in case, just in case, we're not doing that anymore. We don't do that anymore. We don't even wolf whistling anymore. I thought it had stopped just because I'd stopped receiving them. Maybe I need to look at myself a bit more there. You've gone out of Trady's demo now.

You're a bit hairy for them. So down the docks, you reckon? I don't know. Wharfies will still whistle? Is that the next scale? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, right. I don't know, to be honest.
