Hello and welcome to the Fletch, Morn and Megan podcast. Thanks to McDonald's, your favourites are available in drive-thru and McDelivery. Now I can see Georgia out there. Georgia, hello. Howdy my. Come in please, come in. We've got an intervention. She's like, why? She's reluctant. We've got an intervention.

Why? Just before we get into the podcast, we've got an intervention. I don't want to be here. What do you think this is about hi guys hi oh it's not cold in here it's not hot in here no it's not about the temperature it's not about you we've solved that issue by just having our way yeah classic okay okay what steph steph classmate no okay steph classmate's on the podcast and you're a huge fan. I'm very excited about that. But no, it's not about that.

Guys. It's about a boomer habit that you have. I have many of them. I'm glad you brought your phone with you. No, what? No, I'm joking about. What are we doing? No, you leave your clicks on.

Your keystrokes are on. How do you know that? Because it drives the producers nuts when you come to work, sit behind them and use your phone. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. They're too scared to tell you. No, wait. I don't have my clicks on.

Hold up. Send me a message. Hang on. I have my, I just went through and deleted people I didn't want to, hang on. What did you do? What did you do? Deleted people you didn't want to what?

On Facebook. Just numbers of people. I'm like, who are you? Oh, my God. hang on what did you do what did you do deleted people you didn't want to watch on facebook just numbers of people i'm like who are you oh my god i need to do that because i've got hundreds of numbers on my phone from people who i wanted something off sometimes i won't lie to you look i'm tapping i'm messaging megan right now i'm not hearing anything now what are you what are the producers what do you think you're hearing, producers? We've heard it before. Right, okay. And I've definitely gone,

them clicks loud enough, George? In a satisfaction. I think this is, this is just forced content. This is not true. Forced content. Otherwise, no one is lying. Ah, shit shit that's good stuff well that's so the producers have brought this up so famously georgia filled in um between when producer james left and jared started for what six weeks yeah and that was when um we noticed it at its peak right that's true george oh there's both Oh, they're both with a sound on.

But guys, I have this sound on. Is that what you're meaning? You used to have all the tippity taps. You used to have all the tippity taps. Do I have long nails? No, not really. I don't, I think this is, this is definitely forced content. You stand, you stand calling them liars. I do. And they're saying they heard the click clacks. You stand accused them liars.

I do. And they're saying they heard the click clacks. You stand accused of the click clacks. I'm wondering what that could have been. I'm hot and sweaty, guys. I'm not prepared for this. You've never had them on. Never.

Oh. A bunch of fucking liars. Mountie literally just rolled her eyes at you. Wait, I definitely have this on. Yeah. Oh, what's that? Oh, no, that's you i'm that kind of boomer okay when screenshots are taken it got the sound goes off so maybe it's just not

the text tapping anymore but it was definitely like the photo like aperture sound is that what's cool yeah yeah i'm that boomer and when you get a new message huh when you get a new message. Huh? When you get a new message, it goes bing bong. Oh, yeah. Everyone has that. See? I'm telling you. And playing Instagram stories out loud. Okay, that makes you feel important, though, when it goes off lots.

Because you're like, man, I am popular. Do you play Instagram stories out loud? Videos. Very loud, George. I do. It's partly because I'm a little bit deaf. I think we all are. You can never watch

Your Instagram stories loud When people aren't Also watching it And they know the context Of what's happening Because someone could Misconstrued what you're watching But then they also might be

What have you got going on Over there And then you look important Because you're watching Important things I've heard Fletch Listen to them out loud Because I've heard him

Skip through my stories He's like Boring bro It's always a bloody it's always a bloody it's always a pasta dish or something isn't it he's a bloody hokey fillet or something

jeez lucky nobody else on here only posts one sort of online content cats are cute okay I didn't accuse you but I see you

you're aware you're guilty of a crime alright well enjoy the podcast. Good morning, welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, Listerine Peaches. Listeria Peaches. Ah, right.

Nobody's buying peaches this time of year. Well, what's a peach going for? $400 a kg. That's why they're imported peaches, right? Yeah. You just buy one as a treat. Nah. You got a shit idea for a treat if you're going to have a treat as a peach.

They're imported from California at the moment, right? I'd say so, yeah. Yeah, they're pretty good. You should try the ones in the tin. Yeah, not the same. They're great and cheaper. Not the same. Not the great. And cheaper. And cheaper. Not the same.

On the show today, 8.25, our 50k factor of the day, your chance to win cash. Tell everybody what you're upset about. What am I upset about? Bonus bonds.

Bonus... Oh my God. I didn't... I used to have bonus bonds back in the day, but the news yesterday that they're shutting down the scheme

because, well, interest rates are so low at the moment. I guess you're not making any cash. Yeah. to have bonus bonds back in the day but the news yesterday that they're shutting down the scheme because what interest rates are so low at the moment because you're not making any cash. Yeah. But Megan's like

what's bonus bonds? I have no idea what bonus bonds are. Did you not get them as a kid, as a gift? No. From who?

My parents. So you would buy them and then everyone that had a bond had an entry in to win like a million dollars a month. What is a bond though?

Or big prizes. It meant like, yeah, but it was a guarantee that you, the money wasn't, you weren't gambling. It wasn't like a lotto ticket. If you didn't win, the money was gone. The money was always there. And the government used the money to invest in things. But you could withdraw it. But the idea was you left it in there because the money you had in there

was an entry into winning more money. So it had no interest. Weird. Yeah. It was like, it became big, correct me if I'm wrong,

I may go back earlier than this, but war bonds were like early forms of bonds. Well yeah, they used bonds to make, yeah, to raise money. Yeah,

and then post-World War, the government was like, give us a bit of money bro. And yeah, you could always get it out. And then I think it became ANZ's thing. Yeah. I got it years ago. I had it when I was a kid,

but then I think it dissolved and just got money and put it to a bank. And then I got some years ago and then totally forgot about them. And then I was like, hey, I got bonus bonds. And I've been doing it for the girls as well. Every pay, like 50 bucks goes into... Weird.

Yeah, the girls' savings account. Why don't you just do like 50 bucks? Because you might win a million. Have you met Sade? Have you met anyone that's won a bonus bond? She'd be like, oh, I just need to borrow a little bit of money from the girls' account to renovate the entire house. But have you ever met anyone that's won this lottery?

Well, I won a couple of 20s back in the day. Yeah, I won. The girls have won a couple of 20s. That's so weird. I just searched bonus bonds on Google, and it said, somebody tweeted, Tony Twiss tweeted, when I was 13 or 14, I won $15,000 in bonus bonds. And how much money when they were like, oh, yeah, bonus bonds are shutting down.

Am I correct in saying that it was $3 trillion in there? No, that's... No. I think you've made that up. Billion. Billion. I was going to say trillion. Wipe all of our debts everywhere.

The government's like, we're just going to use everybody's bonus bonds and we're going to be not owing anybody. Sorry, $3.25 billion in there. That's a lot of money. Spread across 1.3 million Kiwis. Spread across 1.3 million Kiwis. See, 1.3 million Kiwis, that's a quarter of us. Tanya, we should have talked about this on the show. And we have now.

1.3 boomers? Like, you guys, none of us knew what they were. Kids that have the bonus bonds? Well, they won't now. We'll talk to Indy and Augie on a breakdown on how bonus bonds work. I talked to them about their bonus bonds. Were they upset? Oh, no, I haven't told them anything, but I told them how it works.

Right. Yeah, they crowbarred it into the show, aren't you? Next on the show, speaking of boomers. All the things that boomers do that millennials hate. I'm sure you can write this list yourself. All right. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. So there's a lot of things that millennials don't like about boomers. I mean, it goes both ways, doesn't it? It does, yeah. There's a lot that they probably don't like about millennials, but whatever. The list starts with leaving voicemails. Oh, yeah, don't do that. So this has been a study done into the biggest pet hates.

Yeah. Okay. I actually have on my voicemail, don't leave a voicemail. Just try calling back again or text me. Yeah. I've seen what your number pops up. I'll call you back. If it's private, I'm not going to.

I don't generally make calls, but the other day someone, I made a call they didn't pick up and then the voicemail happened. And I was going to leave a message. My husband's like, what are you doing? No, no, just turn it off. What are you doing? Just text them. I was like, oh my God, I had a moment.

I'm sorry. But yeah, I literally never clear. It's only my mum that leaves voicemails. And then when you go to clear one that you need to clear, you've got like 12 messages from your mum saying, hi, it's only me. Yeah, first new message from 2018. You're like, what's the number to delete the message? Oh, well.

Number two is ringing doorbells. I don't even have a doorbell. Yeah, no, you know, because this is the same as turning up unannounced, you don't. Yeah. So thus you'll, because this is the same as turning up unannounced, you don't. Yeah. So thus, you'll be like messaging saying we're five minutes away and then you can kind of keep an eye on the out front. Yeah. If someone's ringing

a doorbell or knocking on the door, then they're unexpected. Yeah. Right. But if you were having a party and fellow millennials were coming, would you not explain? Just leave the front door open. Yeah. Or they'd just let themselves in. Yeah. Yeah. You wouldn't want them to ring the doorbell. Hello, I'm here.

Yeah. And you'd be like, we don't talk. It's kind of fun. Do you find it fun pressing the ding dong? We do. Ding dong.

When we moved into where we are now, there was one and the kids would not stop playing with it. I can remember as a kid, my grandparents saying, please stop playing

with the doorbell. And we'd be like, okay, it's not that annoying though. And then right like 10 minutes later, bing bong. Man, now that I'm an adult and there's kids running around, bing bong. I can see why. I just pulled the wires out of it. It's gone now.

Watching live television. Boomers do that. And you're just like, well, you could have watched that series all in one go on TVNZ On Demand. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was quite proud of my parents. They watched The Bodyguard

because mum saw an ad for it on the TV and she was like, oh, I've already watched that. I was like, good on you, sister. On TVNZ On Demand. Yeah.

She really watched it all. Well, what you do is you start watching the show after it starts. If you've got like the ability to fast forward like My Sky, you give it the show after it starts. If you've got like the ability to fast forward, like my sky, you give it 20 minutes, it starts. You start watching so you can fast forward all the ads. That's a boomer thing to do. Yeah. My mom does that. She's like, well, don't rush to start watching that. I've got it recorded. We'll fast forward

the ads. Another thing that boomers do that millennials hate is assume that everyone younger than them is a tech expert. Yeah. But generally, I mean, we're not tech experts, but we're a bit more clued up most of the time. Slightly more savvy on it. Yeah. And you get a list of things that you have to do. And they love the sound of their own phones. As in, they leave it on loud and then they've got the most obnoxious ringtones.

Leaving the clicks on. Although, doesn't Georgia here leave the clicks on? Yeah. We should have an intervention about that when she comes in today to do the day show. You forget that your phones make that kind of sound, like when they send an email. Oh, it's the first thing you do. You're like, oh yeah. Turn it off.

It tells you that the message is sent. That is, yeah. I think I've got that on. I think I like knowing that it's left. The email. Yeah, the message is sent. That is, yeah. I think I've got that on. I think I like knowing that it's left. The email. Yeah, the whoosh. I like the whoosh. Oh, yeah.

It's done. But I would say I've had this phone for nearly three years. I'd say it's lived the majority of its life on silent. Yeah. Just full silent. Yeah. Vibration, but silent. Yeah.

Yeah. Hush, hush. It's a great excuse to miss calls. Oh, I was on silent. I'm sorry. I didn't see that. Sorry about it. ZM's Fletch, Vaush, hush. It's a great excuse to miss calls. Oh, I was on site. I'm sorry. I didn't see that. Sorry about it. ZM's Fletch,

Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Bad news for vapers according to a new study. Producer Jared loves a cheeky cloud of vape, doesn't he, outside?

Cheeky cloudy vape. How often do you, would you be vaping, Jared? Producer Jared? Pretty much whenever I'm not in the studio, I'll be... Well, how many times a day, though?

Uncountable. Really? Well, that's not good, is it? No. That's hard to count because you wouldn't, like, if you have a ciggy, you have, like, one, you know, you can count it. One cigarette.

Ah, ah, ah. You just, like, have a cheeky, like, slurp on a vape every now and then. It doesn't, you know, it's hard to count. cheeky slurp on a vape every now and then. It doesn't, you know? Yeah, right. I think you suck on a vape, not slurp on it. Slurp on it. Oh, don't make that sound.

I've got a very wet mouthpiece on my vape. Well, a recent study has been published by researchers from Stanford and the University of California in Sanford. Now, it showed a significant increase in the likelihood of a COVID-19 diagnosis for vapors, people aged between 13 to 24 in the US. Wow. So researchers did this survey. They looked at whether participants ever vaped, smoked, or both.

So if they did both, they were a dual user, and whether or not they were current users. So, yeah, basically they found that current vapers are more likely to get COVID. In comparison to like cigarette smoking? No. So they actually found that it was more of an increased likelihood of a diagnosis driven primarily by vaping. They found that the risk was sevenfold for dual users if you did both. But what was most striking about the study was that the authors didn't find a similar increase amongst just smokers.

Really? Yeah, that's crazy, eh? Because I would have thought it all would have been bad. Yeah. Well, I just assumed it was anything that inhibited the lungs from their full function. But would that kind of suggest that vaping is, like, weakening your lungs more?

I don't know. I mean, I know it's under the impression that it's good for you, is it? It's putting more, like, liquid in there, right? Yeah, right. Because you breathe it in and it is vapour and that travels on water. So maybe the COVID's like Sparple in the lungs

and it hangs out and does what people do with Sparples every now and then. Fornicates. And multiplies. What is this analogy? I'm just saying they like it because it's warm and it's wet that's why they test

for COVID up the back where your nose meets your throat because it's like the conditions it's warm and it's wet and

that's the same with your lungs if you're smoking if you're vaping right they're warmer and they're wetter everyone likes it

when it's warmer and wetter don't they that's a fact Flesh, Vaughan and Megan the podcast ZM when it's warmer and wetter. I know. That's a fact. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Community Notices. Welcome to Community Notices, a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand according to local Facebook pages. Yeah, thank you for sending anything weird in that you see.

Lulu, like lulu n cat. Okay. But just the n, not n. Right. Right. Yeah. Are they nice? Like artistic?

Or you be the dick judge here. I'll just spin around. I'll zoom in. Has there been a mold or is it chain crafted? No, it's a mould of concrete. They're like a little chocolate one you might get at a hen's knife. Yes. A dog bone.

Yeah. If you put them end to end, they would look like a dog bone. Yeah, right. But there you go. And I just looked up that Facebook page before, Many Concrete Crafts. Oh, okay. On Lulu and Kat, but at this stage,

just offering the community that little deal. This one comes from Bellblock Community Page. Yep. Just out of New Plymouth. Correct. Christine writes, Primary school kids are mucking around down Minati Walkway. Why am I struggling to say that?

Minati. Minati Walkway. Primary school kids are mucking around down Minati Walkway. Angry. Michelle writes, It's cross country down there today. And Jenny Adams writes, Yeah, it's Bell Block School cross country.

So there was some shade thrown at it. Mucking around. Mucking around with these bloody kids. Mucking around, running around at speed. Being all athletic and such. Here's a fast and loose attitude from the Lincoln New Zealand community page. Heather writes, RIP goldfish. We hardly knew ye.

Seriously, we don't know them. We don't have fish. My apologies to whomever this fish belongs to. It's RIP goldfish. We hardly knew ye. Seriously, we don't know them. We don't have fish. My apologies to whomever this fish belongs to. And kudos to whatever cat snuck in last night and left it as a present for us. Because they don't have a cat either. They don't have a cat or a fish, but now they've got a dead fish in the middle of their rug. Do they have a cat door that they don't use?

Or how did it get in? No word. No word on an unused, non-warranted cat door. But there's a dead goldfish in the middle of the mat. Teresa's got a very odd question. Her words on the official Lower Hutt Community Notice Board. Odd question. Very odd question. But is anyone having their New World French sticks go missing from their house around the Nine Eye area?

I ask because a friend that's not on social media has been finding French sticks that have been dug into her garden. We suspect it's somebody's dog. She doesn't have a dog. It's happened three or four times now. This time there were three French sticks. So the dog's getting them and burying the French sticks. Are they getting them from the supermarket? Who's buying that many French sticks in their area?

Don't know. Well, if they keep going missing, you'd need to buy another one, wouldn't you? Yeah. Weird. This one from the Christchurch Buy Sale Trade page. Nick writes, I won't read out this lady's whole name. Okay.

Sarah, you ran me over. Okay. So the name of the woman that ran me over is Sarah. You need to contact me about running me over yesterday. I've been into the police station, made a report. I've got your rego. I've got all your information. Call me today or put some money on my account or something. Just don't run me over and go away.

You think that's going to disappear? Just so you know, I have your details. Don't run people over I don't know what he Because he obviously wants money How much? Like What's the story? The demand wasn't clear

No To be honest He just has been run over So there might be some Concussion issues I know but he still seems Pretty casual about it Yeah

He's not too angry Yeah Just don't do it in the future. No. And while we're in Canterbury, let's pop into Ashburton. The Ashburton Notice Board, Liam writes, we've got this one sent in a lot. My auntie's new to Ashburton and got lost last night

in somebody's woodshed with a chair and a lawnmower. That's all auntie can remember about this woodshed. It had a lawnmower in it and a chair in it. If anyone finds a pair of shoes, smokes, and a phone without its battery on your back step or in your yard, please let us know and thank you. Wait, Auntie, right? Okay.

What was she doing in the shed? She got pissed, Megan. She got ripped, drunk. She's new to Ashburn and she couldn't find her way home. She's like, I live here now. Took refuge in a woodshed. Yeah. Wow.

Larissa writes, mean mecky night. Come on, Ashes, check your woodsheds. Mark writes, sounds like Auntie had a great night. Does bring back some memories sleeping in a woodshed. And Mel writes, what a great night had by auntie. Welcome to the area. It's very encouraging. Yeah, I like that one's angry.

People probably went out and checked their wood sheds. I hope auntie was reunited with her shoes and smokes and a phone without its battery. I don't even know if you can still get phones that you can take the batteries out of,

to be honest. Those are today's community notices if you see anything on your local Facebook page screen cap it and send it to us

FVM ZM on Facebook ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast Breakup sex it's a study they've looked into why we do it

what's the emotions behind it and it's a pretty essential time what is breakup sex is this one last time? We're breaking up one last time. That is, I've

never been able to grasp this concept. Neither. Because you're breaking up with them. Why would you, I mean unless they're breaking up with you, why would you want to have sex with them? Unless yeah, it was like one of those tough breakups and like still care about each other but I don't understand those either. Usually you're just like I'm out. I'm out. Yeah, it was like one of those tough breakups and they still care about each other, but I don't understand those either. Usually you're just like, I'm out.

I'm out. Yeah, at least one of you is less into it. Not into it? Yeah, so why would they want to? Exactly, yeah. But yeah, study was done, and they've looked into how men and women react, and they react very differently.

And the reasons for doing so are very different. So when people break up, there's a lot of emotions going on and stuff and they might engage in breakup sex. So they've broken up and then they have sex. And apparently women typically feel better about the relationship, but then worse about themselves after breakup sex, while men just feel better about themselves.

Men just like sex. Yeah. So women are more likely to express regret about having like a one-time sexual encounter. Yeah. And that's where the regret comes in and they've still got a lot of emotion attached to the relationship

so the sex makes them feel better in that regard. When it comes to men, it's just because they want to feel good. There's an opportunity there. They've missed having sex and they want to satisfy their needs. Men like sex. And then afterwards they're like, cool, feeling good. Done. See ya.

Wow, okay. That's not surprising really, is it? Yeah, but women tend to feel quite emotional and regretful about it. We're so different, eh? So different. It's like you're from Mars or something, or we're from Mars and you're from Venus. Was that that book? Men are from Mars.

Men are from Venus. No, you're thinking men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Was that that book? Whatever happened to that? Guys from Venus because it rhymes with penis. No, that was what you'd say. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Women have a vagina, men have a penis. No, that was what you'd say. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Women have a vagina, men have a penis.

Oh, right. Cool. Maybe just me then. I'll take that. Maybe that was just a Morrinsville thing. That sounded like something Vaughan Smith would say at high school. Men are from, didn't anyone ever read that? No, but I always remember growing up it was always like a referenced book.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember that? Yeah. It was a bestseller, wasn't it? It was an author, a relationship counselor, John Gray, after he earned degrees in meditation. I thought that said mediation, but it says meditation actually, and taking a correspondence course in psychology.

I'm laughing at one's facials. He did what? A lot of people do distance learning But you're right, it doesn't sound like a best selling author You'd assume someone with years and years Alright, I'm here to take out your appendix I'll be your surgeon Oh, where did you study? Correspondence

What? Just put the gas on him, quick They always freak out when I tell them I'm a surgeon That learned that correspondence No, I don't give permission what? Just put the gas on him quick. They always freak out when I tell them I'm a surgeon that learned their correspondence. No, I don't give permission. I don't give a... Hello there. Top six today, the top six baby rhino names

for the cute little Auckland Zoo rhino, 12 days old. They call them calves, baby rhinos. Calves. And this calf entered the world at an estimated 65 kilograms. Imagine squeezing that out. Wow. Holy. Jamoli.

Do you know what? In this time of COVID and all the negative news and everyone's feeling a bit, you know, down, that's just what we need. Have a Google of this. It's really cute. Oh, look at his ears. Real cute. Real cute.

It's our big ears. Yeah, they do have big ears, eh? And the little, like, horn, the horn is just like a little bud on the end of the nose at the moment. Cute. Yet to be named, 12 days old. Congratulations to Mum Jamila and dad Zambezi. Zambezi?

Like the fashion label. Yeah. Okay. Except I've never seen a chunky 30-year-old male modelling Zambezi. They need to branch out a little bit more. They were matched in 2019 from ZAAR, Zoo and Aquarium Association of Australasia, the breeding program that specializes in threatened African species. So they were like, those two will have a baby.

And then they did have a baby. Cute. It's pretty cute. And Mum Jamila's doing really well. That was on that show. What was that show that we watched? And they've got that. They talked about that big breeding database that all the zoos use.

And they're like a zoo Tinder. And they match up the animals. Yeah. Explained or no? Connected. Connected. One of those Netflix, you know those? Documentaries.

Yeah. Yeah. And they, yeah, zoo Tinder, but it's done on a whole lot of things. Yeah. And it's all like over the world, so then you know if the breeding program, you're not going to breed with another animal that's too closely related. I reckon it's the key to stopping a whole lot of species going extinct. But we need a name for this little cutesy. And here's

the top six ideas. Number six, Unichunk. Because it looks like a unicorn because of its horn, but it's a little bit chunky. Unichunk. Chunky unicorn. A unicorn. Or a unitank. Because it looks a little bit like a tank.

But a unicorn driving a unicorn themed tank. Number five on the list of the top six baby rhino names. From Unichunk to Princess Cutie Pie Bomber Stomper. Oh, yeah. I like that one. Bomber Stomper. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, because they bomb and stomp.

Real cute. Or it could be Prince because I don't know the sex of the rhino. I'm guessing they can't just storm in there because even when a cow has a calf and you go too near it, it can get a little protective. You've got to wait.

Try getting a calf off a rhino. Not happening, eh? Just let me give it a look. I just need a look. And it's like, what? I'm a rhino. Number four on the list of the top six baby rhino names. Rhino Gosling.

Yes. Rhino Gosling. Yes, that is brilliant. That's pretty cute. Yes, yes, yes. That should have been number one. That's my absolute favourite. You might like this one better.

Okay. Number three on the list of the top six baby rhino names, Jacinda Hardhorn. Hardhorn. Yeah, okay. I like rhino gosling better. Rhino gosling. Yeah. Number two on the list, I looked up what,

you ever go to Google and you just type in Google Maori to English or English to Maori and it brings up the automatic translator? Yeah. And sometimes it brings up the automatic translator. Yep. And sometimes it does not do the right. I was like, I wonder if there is even a Maldi word for rhinoceros. Oh, yeah, that's good. I don't know, actually. Because they wouldn't have had rhinos, like, back in the day.

No. But, I mean, that's the thing about today is that it's quite adaptable and there has been words. They were evolving. Yeah. So I put in rhinoceros on the English side and it translated to whakatangitangi. Oh, I like that.

And I was like, that's pretty cool. And I was like, but it doesn't sound like rhinoceros at all. What are the different parts of it mean? So then I reversed it and translated from whakatangitangi back into English. Yeah. And it said, playing music like in an orchestral setting. Okay.

So I still like it. I wanted to do some further research on that. Yeah, I like that though. Yeah, I still like it. Okay. And number one on the list of the top six baby rhino names for the cute new baby rhino at Auckland Zoo, Dr. Smashley Boomfield. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, most of these names sound like they've been done by a six-year-old. Dr. Smashley Boomfield. I like that. And you know what? If the Auckland Zoo wants some press, they should go with Smashley Bloomfield or Rhino Gosling. I still like Rhino Gosling. Ah, that is...

I don't think any of these will be seriously considered. Ah, that is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Yesterday, after the show, you guys were in the studio and I was in the producer's booth. Yes. Wiring on about something

Mingling Making them feel better Doing what I do Being like The eye roll that Being like Executive producer Anya just gave you

Was incredible Living up to this Label I've been given As A Contemporary Legendary broadcaster Who's still not afraid

To mix it with the low end Oh my god The low end. Oh my gosh. All you can see from in here is the window so you can't hear anything and you see Vaughn literally prancing about and the three of them head down working. And he's just like da da da da da.

A more fitting thing was I was trying to wind everybody up and I'm doing it again now. Yeah. So cute. Oh my God. Can't deny it. Anyway, in here, you guys were talking about

someone who will, it's unimportant who they are, but they're doing all right. And Fletch said, I'm effing sick of hearing about them. I'm wondering if we know that Fletch said that. Always in the feed. I'm just like,

I'm sick of it. Yeah, I'm effing sick of it. Sick of it. Yeah, I'm epic sick of it. Sick of them. And... I've reached peak saturation. We could hear it in the producer's booth. And I laughed and executive intern Anya said,

always, always positive. Fletch is an endless light of positivity. She was being sarcastic. I can be very positive. Thank you. That's when I said we should now try every time we

I'm not saying we should not say anything negative because that's silly. Yep. And unrealistic. But we should try to bookend it

with positive. This is Warren's new positivity mantra that he So you can be negative but then you've got to be positive about the same topic.

Oh, okay. Oh, right, okay. About the same topic. I'll win at this, right, okay. About the same topic. I'll win at this. This is easy. Yeah, because you're a two-faced bitch. But you do it well. Thank you.

Because people don't know unless they get to know you really well. Like us. See, what I did there was I called her a two-faced bitch and then I backed it up with she's very good at it. So technically that's positive.

Right, okay. And that's all I think we need to do. This is your new positivity mantra. A negative must be followed by a positive. Must be followed by a positive. Okay, right. You can't go positive negative. You've got to finish with, it's like pudding. You've got to finish with the sweetness. I feel like, Fleetch,

you need to give this a go. Because I can't imagine. I can't imagine. I say lots of positive things. Even when you say you're a very positive person, I literally can't think of an example. Do you guys need some more time? Like, should we come back after the next song? I can't actually think of a moment

where you just like exclaimed something positive. Can you? There will be many. Surely go back in the audio archives. You wouldn't have to go back far. How much you like tamari almonds.

I'm always positive about those. You know, I love tamari almonds. Very high in sodium though. Because they're cooked in soy sauce. That's the tomato flavour. I do like this new positivity mantra. I'm just saying, you don't

have to eliminate negativity entirely but we should just try to see it. What about, I'll give you topics. You're not fans of crystals. That's a load of rubbish isn't it? But they look pretty. There you go. Now you do the same thing because you hate crystals.

I don't hate crystals. They're not magical though. Is that a positive? No, it's not. Oh, okay. They're not magical. But man, someone's making some money off those fools. That's not it.

That wasn't negative. No, that was positive because someone's being a business entrepreneur. That was negative. Okay, okay, because I said fools. Yeah. But I've got to finish on a positive. Yeah. Okay, I think it's foolish,

but good on the person who's tricked those idiots and now they're making some sweet money. See, I finished on the positive of the sweet money. No, you're terrible at- The whole second statement has to be positive. Oh, God. You made this up. I know.

This is your positivity mantra. It's my positivity mantra. Okay, well, they're not going to kill or anything, are they? Crystals, no. No, but- But? It's great that someone's finding a use for an otherwise purposeless rock. I mean, that's a little better.

There's still some. Because what's it going to do otherwise? It's just going to like sit in the earth doing, taking up space. Taking up space in the earth. I mean, it's that crucial to the structure of the planet. I'm not saying get rid of them entirely. Also, you're saying that crystal users are actually destabilising the earth that we're on.

Yes. This is just. But. But. Isn't everybody? Okay, I think you've got to work on your positivity mantra. Flesh for an Amegan, the podcast, ZM. Megan, well, not this Sunday, but next, it's Father's Day.

And next week, we want to do Radio Tinder, but for a daddy, the Daddy Radio Tinder Edition. So if you know of a single dad, you are a single dad, and you'd like to register, just go to ZM online, and you could be playing next week. And then, ladies, hold off now. Your chance next week when we play Radio Tinder, the daddy edition. Dreams.

What do they mean? We have Googled on the show after we've had a weird-ass dream to find out what it means. Is it you that have elevator ones? Yeah, you always often have elevator ones. Yeah, me too. I've had ones where my teeth have fallen out and that's like a common one when you're naked. Isn't teeth to do with death or a fear of death or something, they say?

I can't remember. I don't think it's a great one. I think it's you just went to bed without brushing your teeth. No, never do that. Experts at the Nokia Bell Labs in Cambridge. They have created a natural language processing technique that can automatically... Wait a second, are they opening up labs to sponsorship now?

Like stadiums? Yeah, I don't know. What is that? Who sponsored it? Nokia Bell Labs. It's the name of the lab. Like AMI Stadium. Well, Bell Labs are the people that invented the telephone,

Alexander Graham Bell. Right. And so it might be just ongoing. So the Bell telephone came out of Bell Labs, so Bell Labs existed before that. But it's got naming rights. Because they were telephone, they also joined up with Nokia. I don't know.

Well, they have created an actual processing technique that can apparently automatically analyse dreams and then quantify them. Okay. So they can tell you what your dreams mean. Now, they have found that they don't mean anything. They don't mean anything. Are you kidding?

This might be the perfect time to introduce my new segment, Intros. It's in the intro button bar. What's it called? Jared's just put it in there. It's in intros A button bar. Okay, what one? Because there's like 50 on this page.

Okay. Oh, yep, okay. Yeah, this one. Duh. Oh, my God. That's what it's called, okay. Yeah, this one. Duh. Oh, my God. That's what it's called, duh. Well, and this is a new segment you bring in. Yeah, it's when scientists tell us stuff that we already knew.

Like, dreams mean nothing. And you just go, duh. No, this is just a segment when something that you've always said is proven by science. Yeah. So, yeah, apparently it's just a continuation

of our everyday lives. So that's why if you see someone that day, you might have a dream about them. Or if we go on

a lift all the time. Because you do go in an elevator every day for work. Yeah, true. I should take

the stairs. But that's why like, so if you go to bed and you're thinking of someone, maybe a random friend you haven't spoken to for ages,

they pop up in your dream. That's always what I thought just happened. Or why you have dreams about your workmates. Because you're with them all the time or you're seeing them the next morning. Or if something freaks you out and it's on your mind, you're more likely to dream about it. I always have nightmares after watching scary programs. I was waiting for the nightmares in our house last

night because, have you heard of this show? It's on Duke. It's called Pain Kings? Yes. No. We talked about them once when they did that scary wasp. Yeah, the mega wasp. They get them to bite them and sting them.

Dickheads. Yeah. Go around the world and find like local animals that are like notorious, like the native people native to the area. Right. Like the stingy ants. Yeah, they did fire ants. That's the one, murder hornet. So last night they did, we watched it.

We've never watched it before, but we've seen it advertised and then it was on, so we started watching it. And they did millipede, this Indonesian millipede that bit them and they were like, one of them got bit and then an hour and a bit later his other mate got bit by the same thing. They like hold them against their skin and make them bite them.

And then they found this really massive long snake reticulated pipe on and because apparently it bites, it doesn't have venom but it's got backward curving teeth and they say the bite is really painful so then they

put this thing in a bag and take it somewhere and the kids are watching and they were okay because they were like fascinated by snakes and stuff until it like slow mode showed

the snake like lashing out and biting one of them and then just like cutting them and then that was it like August lost her mind and I was like oh god and And then that was it. Like August lost her mind.

And I was like, oh God. And it was right before bedtime and I said to Sade, there's going to be snake nightmares tonight. You should buy a couple of those like $2 shop snakes, put them in her bed. Walk in and have it like latched on my neck. With tomato sauce. That'll definitely help.

They spent so much time telling her that she'll never come across one. Right, yeah. She just won't never come across one. Right, yeah. She just won't ever come across one. Yeah, so I've just asked Sade no snake dreams, but very surprisingly, given that was like the hour before bedtime. Well, good to know our dreams mean nothing. Sorry about that.

I'd better stop my book that I'm writing, Dream Encyclopedia, What Your Dreams Mean. No, keep going. Keep going. Because just because these scientists tell you that it means nothing, it hasn't stopped a whole bunch of people

in 2020, has it? No. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Fans of Tiger King, we're getting more. This isn't the documentary that's supposedly coming.

This is an actual TV series. Because do you remember when it came out, all the celebrities that were like clambering to like put themselves forward to be cast? Oh, you didn't know Nicholas Cage? Yep, Nicholas Cage did. I'll play Joe Exotic. Yeah.

Was it Dax Shepard? He looked really great as Joe Exotic. As of, I couldn't find, I could only find stats from April 22, because when did it come out? It came out in our lockdown for, eh? Oh, yeah, around there. Around April.

So as of the 22nd of April, 64 million households had watched Tiger King on Netflix. Wow. Worldwide. Yeah. And that's only after a few weeks of it being out. I feel like it's one of those shows that you watch, and you're like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

and then when you had some time to think about it afterwards, you're like, ooh. I feel like it's one of those shows that you watch and you're like, ha ha ha ha ha, and then when you had some time to think about it afterwards, you're like, ugh, I feel dirty. I feel a bit icky about that whole situation now. Yeah. So it is going to star Kate McKinnon, who will play Carol Baskin. At the moment, that's the only person we know.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens, it's Carol at Big Cat Rescue. That would have been the audition tape, right? Like that, can you do this and kittens. It's Carol at Big Cat Rescue. That would have been the audition tape, right? Like that, can you do this? She will nail it. So she's a Saturday Night Live-er, right? Yep. She was on, what else has she done?

She's been in quite a few movies and stuff. She was in Ghostbusters, the reboot, the all-female Ghostbusters. She was like the crazy character in that. She's fantastic on Saturday Night Live. She's won multiple Emmys since she's been on there. I just feel like she'll absolutely be able to nail her voice.

But other than that, we don't know a lot. It's been ordered by NBC and it won't have a pilot, so they're just like making it. Making the whole thing. Wow, they're just like, start and do it. Stroke all the irons. Oh, I can't wait to see who they cast as Joe Exotic.

Yeah. Would Nicolas Cage be, he wouldn't do a TV show, would he? Mate, does Nicolas Cage do anything? What's your going on? I don't know. That's a little bit negative, so I'm going to follow it up with, but I have loved, I loved Gone in 60 Seconds. But again, there hasn't been a lot of work since that.

And everyone told him he couldn't steal the Declaration of Independence. The National Treasure Map on the back. But he did. He did, yeah. And he proved them wrong. How good was Gone in 60 Seconds? I love that movie. I reckon I could watch it now.

I almost forget Angelina Jolie's in that. Yeah. Let's go. You guys, let's do it. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast. ZM. Am I a bad person? This is where we read you some correspondence from a listener who is in a pickle and wants

to know if they're a bad person or not. Or if they're doing the right thing, shall we say. I'm very interested to see what people think of this. Yeah. Yeah. This is anonymous obviously Hi guys, I had an awkward situation on Saturday night That's been eating me up ever since I have a friend who we'll call

Sarah, who is pretty well off Her parents are wealthy And set her up with her own house Paid her way through uni And now she has a high paying job I hate her already This is just painting the picture for you paid her way through uni, and now she has a high-paying job. I hate her already. This is just painting the picture for you.

I mean, if I had wealthy parents who brought me a house, I'd be fine with it. Yeah, of course. But when it's someone else, I'm like, ugh. I, on the other hand, work in retail. I drive a shitty 92 Corolla, her words. Hey, it might be shitty, but look at it going. Still going. That's a 28-year-old car.

Yeah, and I live on afterpay. Now, she had drinks on Saturday night, and my friend and I were having a DNM in her bedroom. We got a little bit sidetracked and started having a browse through her wardrobe instead. I was trying on her beautiful designer shoes when my ankle rolled, and I snapped the heel off one of them.

They had red bottoms, so I assume they're very expensive. I don't say they're Louboutins though. But Louboutins, red bottom shoes. Okay, right. Or rip-offs. Yeah. Could be rip-offs. I mean, but signs don't point to over $1,000.

Oh, fuck. $1,000. Oh, Seth. $1,000 for shoes? Are you kidding me? No. Ridiculous. I mean, yeah. Signs point to them being real. Okay.

Right? So, yeah. They had re-bottomed, so I assume they're very expensive. And as I said, I have no cash to replace them. My friend didn't see me do it. I just took them off quickly and hid them back in the wardrobe. It's been four days and Sarah

hasn't noticed and part of me thinks it's a sign that she doesn't really care about them. Am I a bad person? If I don't tell her I broke the shoes. She's going to notice when she wants to go to an event or wants to go out one night and put them on. She's going to notice but she's not going to know it was her.

Yeah. Is this a thing that happens to even expensive shoes? Can you break the heel really easily? I don't know. Like how many heels do you? I've only snapped one heel. And yeah, I mean, it can happen. Sounds like a poorly constructed heel.

For a shoe that expensive, you'd want some structural integrity. But you don't know how old the shoe was. Can it be fixed? Can heels be fixed easy? I think you could fix those. Okay. Take them to the cobbler.

So really the question here is, am I a bad person for not telling my rich friend because she's rich enough it doesn't matter? And she can afford to fix them? Slash she's probably got a lot of shoes.

Does she even wear those anymore or care about them? But then technically you broke something of your friends. And you were also like going through her stuff while you were at her house, you know? Like, it's not like she lent them to you and you accidentally did it. But some girls would be all right with that. Like going through the wardrobe and like,

some might not. I mean, my friends could go through my wardrobe. It's a lot of navy blue t-shirts. Once you've got past the first three navy blue t-shirts, you'll probably be able to work out what's coming. I feel like, yeah, we've gone through his wardrobe. Okay, what's

a year? I mean... It's what you keep behind that hollow wall on the back of your wardrobe that people need to worry about. The hollow wall? Give that a tap. It's not a hollow wall. Yep. Push in the right place, it swings open. Oh, heavens.

And you're in the next wardrobe in the next room. Whatever. If she only had like, you know, one pair and she'd saved up to get them and, you know, like she wasn't in that position. You'd feel bad and you'd say something. But you're saying... The principle of it is she knows that she's broken, like, something expensive of her friends.

So, somebody said, I worked in footwear for 16 years now. A heel shouldn't snap off. You should tell her, but obviously say it's not my fault. She could go back and be like, hey, the heel snapped off. Like, this is no good. And she might get like a new pair.

I don't know. So like, she doesn't need to tell her. Somebody else is like, I wouldn't tell. I wouldn't. She'll be rich enough to have insurance.

But you've, can you insure heels? Under house and condo, surely. How expensive does something need to be in until it needs to be itemised in house and condo?

Do you need to tell state insurance? It's quite a bit, isn't it? Yeah, I think it's a few thousand dollars. I don't think shoes would be under that. Alright, so we want to know, I don't know, have you ever been in this situation? Or what do you think you'd do in this situation? Is she a bad person for not telling her rich friend that she broke her shoes?

Am I a bad person? Alright, so there's been drinks at a friend's house. The friend is very well off. Her parents bought her a house, paid away through uni and everything. She's got designer shoes. Now, the friend went up into the bedroom, tried on the shoes, had broken the heel, and have hidden them back in the wardrobe. Is she a bad person for not telling her friend?

It's, wow, it's quite mixed. And it's quite amazing to see people saying, well, they're rich, it doesn't matter. It's like a rich person's tax. Some text messages in. She needs to ask herself what she would do if her friend was in the same financial situation as her. Like?

If the roles reversed. So if the friend with the designer shoe didn't have money. Yeah. Yeah. Or, yeah, and she was the one with money in a designer shoe, and the shoe got broken. But then if I was the one with the, had the money, and you'd feel pretty bad demanding them fix it, wouldn't you?

You had lots of shoes and. Yeah. Yeah. If you knew they didn't have the money. Yeah. There's no way you could say to your friend, give me $1,000. Yeah, to replace them. Bad person, dishonest friend and someone with victim complex.

Ooh. Wow. Strength slam. Libby, what do you think? Is she a bad person? Hell yeah, I think she's a bad person. So she should have immediately said, look, I'm sorry I've broken your shoes. Yeah, like, just own it.

Like, you know, it was a mistake, just own it. How would she feel if she'd saved super hard for those shoes and her friend had done that to her and not told her? That's the thing, though. I don't think the, we're under the assumption that she didn't have to save super hard for the shoes. But it's irrelevant that she's got money or not. It sounds like she's actually angry at her friend that she's rich and she's not.

And it doesn't matter how much money you've got. The fact is that you've done something to your friend and just own the situation. Just say, look, I'm sorry. And what can I do to make it up? I think the scary part is you have to admit that you were trying on stuff when you probably shouldn't have been. You have to admit that as well. But also knowing that you could never afford that $1,000.

Like, you just can't afford that. So you've got that motivation to put the shoes back, don't you? Well, you kind of do, but at the end of it, it's going to eat her up. It's going to eat the friendship up. And what happens if it all comes out? And then mate goes, what happened? I know you were in my room.

And just, yeah, just own it. Be a friend rather than worry about the value of it. And the friend will probably say, hey, look, it was a mistake. Don't worry about it. I'll get Dad to buy me a new pair. Yay, Dad. Yay, Dad. Hey, Libby, thanks for your call.

Awesome. Text message is in. Somebody said, are we sure the shoe wasn't broken before she put it on? Yeah. I mean, like you said, shoes, heels don't break that easy. It could have been. Yeah, and so she might be suffering through guilt for nothing. She could say fatigue. There was heel fatigue. Oh, I thought you said she was suffering from fatigue. Yeah, she might be like, oh, well that was on the

blink anyway. Yeah, yeah. That was already broken. I was going to get it fixed. Hayley, what do you think? Is she a bad person? I do actually think she's a bad person. I agree. She's kind of just going through her stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And I just think no matter how much money you have,

it all comes down to honesty, really. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I think you should tell her. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thanks for your call. Natalie, what do you think?

Is she a bad person? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Yeah. I think so. Okay. Yes, I think she should tell her friend. Honesty is the best policy. And if her friend was in the same situation as her, she'd probably tell her. But what would you do?

You broke the heel, Natalie. You're looking at a bill for $1,000 and you could just put it back and not pay $1,000. I would probably try and superglue it. Oh, so you would become a fixer. and not pay $1,000? I would probably try and superglue it. Oh, so you would become a fixer, some kind of... A hot place where you sneak in when she's at work. DIY.

Right, okay. That's a hot place. Then she gets the heel out and there's just a slight crack with a big residue of glue around the side of it. She's like, what's happening here? She's an amateur. She gives it a wipe with a bit of tissue paper and leaves a little bit of tissue paper of it. She's like, what's happening here? She's an amateur. She gives it a wipe

with a bit of tissue paper and leaves a little bit of tissue paper around it. A glue bit. Brilliant. Natalie, thanks for your call. Text message is in.

Someone said, what about the friend that witnessed the break? No, they didn't. No, it says in the email the friend didn't notice. That's why she put it back in. Oh, the friend didn't notice.

Okay, because yeah, there's a few people that like, now that friend's got something over you as well. No, she said the friend didn't notice. That's why she put it back in. Okay, because yeah, there's a few people that like, now that friend's got something over you as well. No, she said the friend didn't see. Okay. So the poll result, and this has been quite fluctuating because when we first put it up, it was like 65% of people were like, said she's not a bad person.

And then that got to like 57%. What's the latest at the social media desk, Mountie? Yeah, so in the early stages, it was very much in favour of not a bad person, which is quite surprising, but it has evened out now. Okay. So it's 57% bad person, which is still pretty split. 57.

God, the polls all over the show. I can see why Simon Bridges doesn't trust polls. But it's easy from this position to say. Simon Bridges doesn't trust polls. But it's easy from this position to say. Simon Bridges doesn't trust polls. That was three bloody national leaders ago, mate. Oh, you said he didn't trust it. Is he not around now? No.

He's around, but he's not like, he doesn't need to worry about polls. Oh, right. Okay. Good then. But yeah, like it's easy. Todd Muller. Almost. Judith. Judith. Judith.

Judith. It's easy sitting here not being in a situation you can be like, yeah, bad person, I would totally tell her. But when you're faced with that and you're like, oh, God, I have to admit I was drunk and playing in her wardrobe. I totally would have put them back. We're terrible people. If my shoes ever get broken,

any of my labootons ever end up, because I don't have legit ones, I've got fakes. Yeah, nah. I mean, you're a, yeah. You know where to look. Yeah, I know exactly who I'll be talking to. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. You may have seen on the news a bunch of victim impact statements happening at the sentencing for the Christchurch mosque shooter. One of them, very powerful, is a guy called Kyron Goss. This man was a guest to New Zealand. This man is not one of us. But that didn't stop him from slaughtering us.

He entered into our home with ill intentions and hate in his heart, only to repay our hospitality by murdering our family and our guests. Now, that's just a small segment of the speech delivered by Kyron, who joins us on the phone now. Kyron, good morning. Good morning.

Man, I've got to say, that was an emotional watch, and that's from somebody who's just watching from the outside, hasn't had to experience any of this in person. Firstly, man, that was so brave, so brave to get up there and do that. Oh, thank you so much. I'm glad I was able to get the passion and the whole purpose of it across. Yeah, thank you. So your auntie was a victim of the March 15 shootings.

And I mean, that's a really close family relationship. How did your speech, how did you even begin putting it together? Because it's different to speaking at someone's funeral where you can talk at their funeral about the impact they had on your life, but you're talking about how this person was just plucked from your life by this monster. So how did you

go about it? Well, it's interesting, right? Because what's been published wasn't the entire speech, obviously, because it was about eight to 10 minutes long. But when I started, I haven't actually followed anything to do with him because for me, the whole Christchurch thing isn't about him at all. It's about how we all came together. And then when I got offered the chance to do the victim impact statement, I started thinking about it, doing a bit of research. And I realized that I could actually have a direct line to the judge to be able to have an impact on how he gets sentenced. And so for me, it was just all about how I talk to the judge and what I want the judge to be able to have an impact on how he gets sentenced. And so for me, it was just all about how I talk to the judge

and what I want the judge to know. And I think the big thing for me was, you know, I'm not Muslim myself, but this is a chance for me to speak on behalf of all New Zealanders. You know, it was an attack on Islam, but it was also an attack on New Zealand. It was the New Zealand way of life and he took advantage of our good-natured people, right? You know, he came here deliberately for this attack. So, you know, it was a chance to speak on behalf of every New Zealander here in New Zealand and also out there in the world. Well, so what was it like standing up in

court being metres away from him and looking at him and also out there in the world. Well, so what was it like standing up in court, being metres away from him and looking at him directly? When I did my statement, I actually didn't look at him at all. I deliberately sort of shunned him because I start off by saying he's completely irrelevant, so I wanted to talk directly to the judge. However, in saying that, before going up, we're seated in the public gallery and where we got sat was in the very front row, directly in front of him.

So we did make eye contact. Oh, God. Well, it's weird because most of the time he just sat there with no expression, no nothing. When I finished my statement, I sat back down and he gave me a nod. And it was very weird. I don't know. Like it was a nod of an acknowledgement almost, a nod of thank you for sharing. And it was just, it was weird.

Oh, that's so weird. No, that pisses me off. He did it to other victims as well. So yeah, but most of the time he just had no expression, no nothing. What were your feelings like beforehand? You know, like the night before, knowing that you're going to have to deliver this. Like, I'd just be so anxious and nervous

and, you know, you want to do justice to what you're going to say. I'm going to admit there wasn't much sleep the night before. Yeah. Also, luckily, we were supposed to speak after the break, but everything was going quite well time-wise. So it all got fast-forwarded. So it was just like, boom, you're up, which was quite nice because, you know,

you didn't have that sort of anxiety and the waiting. But it is twofold, right? You know, on one side, you are standing there in front of this mass murderer. But on the other side, it is powerful because, you know, I was one of the few people who get to directly impact how we get sentenced. But I got to speak to the judge directly. And that's, for me, what it was all about. It was addressing the judge directly in order to ensure that he knew my point of view. So it was quite powerful.

And so I sort of, you know, I sat there and I tried to absorb as much mana from every other speaker so that when I got up there, I could deliver my statement as powerful as possible. And that's what I was, like, I hope this doesn't sound weird, but did you find being amongst other people who had a shared experience, did you find that kind of empowering? Yeah, definitely definitely and you know after I spoke we had some other really empowering speakers as well, so being able to connect with them afterwards and just sort of share how it made us feel and

being able to get it off our chest. Because this is also the first time we've ever had a chance to speak publicly too in 18 months. So that was a relief to be finally able to sort of, yeah, get that off our chest and to share our experiences and our feelings. Yeah. Well, you delivered a very powerful statement, man. I think you will have done your auntie very proud.

Oh, cheers. So thanks for having a chat to us this morning. Thank you. Z think you will have done your auntie very proud. Oh, cheers. So thanks for having a chat to us this morning. Thank you. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. This is information released by Tinder. So people are starting with a particular question and if they're not getting the answer that they like, they're just pulling the pin.

It's a deal breaker question and I wouldn't have thought this would have been as big as it is. What's your favourite biscuit? White chocolate, dark chocolate? Oh yeah. These are all important things to know if a potential partner is going to muscle on

on your favourite food. So you're saying you don't want the same flavoured biscuit? No, absolutely. If someone's like, I don't like your favourite food, I'm like, this couldn't be better. This is a perfect match. That's an insight into you because you would rather have a partner you don't share anything with than have one.

Exactly. Interesting. The question that people are starting with is what star sign are you? And then if the answer is not compatible with their star sign, they're just being like, see ya. Are there really that many people into the star sign compatibility thing? Apparently. It's big between the ages of 18 to 25-year-olds.

This is what Tinder has released. That age group is 29% more likely to ask for star sign information than those that are over 25. So is this Tinder USA? Australia. Is this Tinder USA? Australia. Tinder Australia. Okay, so very similar. Producer Jared, who famously during Alert Level 4 last time, received 400 matches. No, wasn't it

600? No, it was 400. Maxed out at 456. That's heaps! And how many actually turned into actual dates? Maybe two. Wow, that's a great percentage. You're like a kicker for the All Blacks that's had 400 and something goes at the post and have got two over.

God loves a try-off. That's a bad conversion rate. Have you now, just with your Tinder experience, have you had this question much? Oh yeah, I've had it twice. And both times I've been pretty stoked to reply I'm a Sagittarius and both times I've been shut down real hard, real fast. Oh, really?

So when people are asking it, if they're not getting the answer they're after, it's over. Yep, one time the girl just unmatched me and the other time they sent me an angry face emoji and then unmatched me. But you didn't do anything wrong. Why is she angry at you?

She was born at a certain time of the year. Do they ever tell you their star sign beforehand? No. So you don't even have a chance to lie. Because I'd be like, I don't know. I don't know what star sign I am. What are you? And then just lie. But everyone knows.

Even if you're not really into it, eh? But you know what your star sign is and you don't like follow it. Oh yeah, but I'm just I just love everything about myself.

So that's why I know it's important I know what I am. Do people put star signs much in their bios in there? Yeah, they got that because you

you all have seen it. Even I know this. Yeah, there's emojis for every star sign. Yeah, there's emojis for every star sign. Yeah, there is. Because I'm the, uh, Cancer's the 69, eh? Nice. No, Pisces is the 69.

Oh, nice. Because we're two fish. You're the crab. Yeah, you're crab. Not nice. Not nice. Not nice. Boo.

Hold on, let me. Couldn't I, yeah, because they look a little different. I'm a lion. Mine's the best. No, you're thinking of the animals, not the symbols. No, it says here the astrological symbol for cancer looks exactly like the number 69. What's the astrological... Ah, nice.

Nice. Well, I apologize for taking your nice. Nice. Have your nice. And what are you? Pisces. No, a fish. We actually go together pretty well.

Do we? Apparently we're sexually compatible Well that's why we've been on air for quite a long time Actually we're New Zealand's longest radio couple We are Actually Longest running Longest running radio couple

We are You will give me the connection I crave Along with the intuitive sexual experience known Right, yeah Again, it's why we've been together so long yeah so we ran a poll wanting to see if

this was the same here in New Zealand because these are figures Australian stats yeah coming from Australia is the wrong star sign

a deal breaker for you we asked and a whopping 95% said no so only 5% of people saying yes it's a deal breaker so I think if you're that's 5% said no. So only 5% of people saying yes, it's a deal breaker. So I think if you're-

That's 5% of people. What? I'm just trying to work out, are they so hot I've got to have like an immediate criteria to whittle people down? Whittle, whittle. Or are they, yeah, right, okay. Are they so hot that everyone comes for them

that they're like, actually, no, I've got to start being at least a little bit picky. But it's like not only what the internet says is compatible for you, it's like if you've dated like two guys who were Sagittarius and they burned you, then can you just be put off Sagittarius forever? Maybe. That's what, for example, we took been, we took some of your responses. Someone said,

does it matter to you? Absolutely. As an Aquarius, if they say Taurus, they're done. Really? What's the story there? I don't know.

One's pouring water and one's a bull. And also, isn't that a make of a car as well? A Taurus. Yes, a Ford Taurus. They'd never be buying

one of those. No, they probably wouldn't be. Somebody said, is this a deal breaker for you? And they said, no, but finding out someone believes in that shit is. So then that's a good point. Only if it's Sagittarius, it's a deal breaker for me because the last two have been Sagittarius.

And let's just say they're the last two for a reason. So there you go. Those two bad Sagis have ruined it all for Saggies. It's hard to spell. That's why I don't like it. To this day, I could not tell you I'd have no idea

of my fiance's star sign or the father of my child's star sign. Now, I'm not sure. My fiance's and father of my child's star sign makes it sound like two different people. Yeah.

So that's two people that they've been intimate with. Yeah. And they've got no idea they've been intimate with. Yeah. And they've got no idea of their star signs. If someone is an Aquarius, run, says... That's my husband. Why am I running? I don't know.

Who the F are the 5% that wouldn't even get to know someone based on that? Is another person's response. Okay. Well, they're not a real deal breaker really for New Zealanders. Someone said if you look on Snapchat, Fletch is still the only person using Snapchat here,

you can look at a friendship with someone and it will show you your compatibility via star sign. Oh really? Yeah. Or just Google it. Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The, really? Yeah. Or just Google it. Yeah. Yeah. That's what most people do. Today's fact of the day is in 2016, Japan offered elderly people to trade in their driver's license for cheap ramen. To what? To get them off the roads?

To get them off the roads. Because they have a really unbalanced older population, don't they? Wildly unbalanced population. So just those driving in 2005, there were 2.4 million Japanese over the age of 75 still driving. Whoa.

That was in 2005. In 2016, it had over doubled to 4.8 million people over 75 still driving. Wow. I mean, we all know there's, you know, the odd grandparent that's still with it and driving,

but then there's a lot that shouldn't be. Yeah. There's a lot of people that shouldn't be driving. So anyway, the total amount of vehicle accidents in Japan has been steadily decreasing. However, the amount of accidents involving people over 75 has been climbing. Right. So accidents down, but accidents involving old people are taking up a larger portion of those accidents that are happening.

So there was a whole lot of initiatives to get old people to stop driving. And one of them was you bring in your driver's license, trade it in, you get a little card, which quantifies a ramen discount. So a one-time or a lifetime. Oh, okay. Forever. That would get me if it's a lifetime discount. How good is a good, like a good ramen? So good.

You know me, I'm no noodle fan. Are they the thick noodles? They can be. It's like noodle soup, right? Yeah, and it's got like other ingredients. See, to me, you can't beat the pho. The pho soup. I tell you what.

The pho soup. Asian countries and their soups. They know what we're doing. It's going on. Amen there. From a guy that grew up on vegetable, what was that? Alphabet soup. Yeah.

Vegetable alphabet soup cooked in a pot with a bacon hock. Yeah. To me, that was soup. Yeah, but it wasn't, was it? It wasn't. Yeah. Amen to the ramen. It was barely flavoured water.

An amen to your ramens, your pho, your, oh, yeah, all the soup. So what kind of a discount were they offering to give up your licence? 25%. Okay, that's pretty good. It's not too bad. But the card that you got, so the ramen being added was the latest initiative to be added to it. Kind of like their gold card, I guess.

Yes, correct. But it had given you discounts to public baths, which is exactly what we need more in public baths, is old people's genitals um out and about yeah feeling that warm salty water uh barbers chemists and also lower taxi fees right it was like their gold card but apparently the biggest uptake of the card was when the discount of uh ramen got added to it now do you think we're gonna have this problem in new zealand with the our increasing population?

Are we going to need an incentive for over 75s to ditch the licence? What would our incentive be? Viable public transport. Okay, I was thinking something more like a ramen discount. Oh, okay. Like an old mate's... Roast shop. The roast shop discount.

Yum. Or like, what about lunch with Winston Peters? Because you know they love Winston Peters. Oh, you know, even they've not gone off Winston a bit lately, to be honest. I don't think they've had enough of that. But Japan, it's only going to get worse for Japan.

By the year 2060, over 40% of their population is going to be over 65. Because I was reading, they've got like ghost houses in Japan in some areas because of the population. I've seen a movie about it. The Ring. Or The Grudge.

Lots of ghostly houses. Yeah. So what happens? Well, people are so old, they move out or they move into homes or they die. And there's not the young people to take the houses. They've got more houses in population in some areas, some cities.

Crazy. Can we have them? Yeah, we could have them. Sure. Like, you know, we import a lot of Japanese cars. We could just start importing Japanese houses. That'd be great. Yeah, go down to the second-hand house yard.

Does it have a little dining inbuilt? Oh, the low table. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. I like that. I like that. Mind you, I was going to say the paper doors and paper walls wouldn't be great, but I've seen some New Zealand rentals.

That's not much more than paper. Yeah, exactly. So today's fact of the day is in 2016, to get elderly people to give up their driver's licence, Japan offered a ramen discount.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- How are you doing in Melbourne lockdown? Yeah, it's a bit depressing, isn't it? Yes. I mean, you guys have been in and out of, you know, restrictions and everything, I know as well, but it is getting old, I will say that.

But, you know, we're getting on. It's all right. It's kind of the new normal. How do you find, like, staying motivated health and fitness-wise during lockdown? Well, for me, I move my body to stay mentally sane in this time. I love exercise and it makes me feel good. So I've only got more time up my hands now, so less excuses, I suppose.

But yeah, I think anyone who's in a regular routine of exercising knows how good it makes you feel. And I think when you're going through a tough time like this, there's really nothing better than working out. So you're relaunching the Kick app. And I'm interested to know, so you guys founded this, you and your best friend. What's it like going into business with your bestie?

It's the best. I mean, we obviously got the common warning of going into business with a close friend or family that it might not work out. But for Lourdes and I, I think because we've always had the same goals and ambitions for the business, we have the same morals. And yet we're also very different. We have different strengths.

So we work together really, really well. But we just have so much respect for each other that we've really never run into any issues. And for us, it's just been about open communication. But honestly, it's the best getting to work with your best friend every day. So do you still like hang out though, like socially? Because I work with two guys and I find that's enough. We're right here.

We're literally in front of you. No, no, definitely. I think we both have to go through moments where we have to remind each other, hey, let's catch up this Friday night. Obviously, not in life. But, you know, and let's not talk about work. Yeah, we kind of have to force ourselves

to make that time, but we definitely do. It's really important to still connect and I suppose work on that friendship outside of work as well. So you touched on it, but like but how did Keep It Cleaner, how did you guys come... I've just worked it out. What?

Okay, that's what KEC stands for. Oh my God. You can see this is a streamlined business brain and if you want me on board, I'm willing to come on board. How did it come about? How was it born? So Laws and I, we've both been through the modelling industry, but we were both also on social media when it kind of started to boom

into what it is today. And all we could see when it came to fitness and health was a bunch of fad diets, a lot of challenges, strict things, you know, to follow. And like some of us, I mean, Laura and I actually did follow a few of them and we fell into some really unhealthy relationships with both exercise and food. And I suppose for us as young 20-year-olds back then, we just really wanted to make sure that there was another message that was being spread. We didn't say enough of the, you know, just general health

as to why you should just live a nice, healthy, balanced life and not be too strict on yourself and how much better that is for you mentally and how, you know, your mental health is just as important as your physical health and focusing on all the different pillars and everything like that. So it started with just an e-book. It was just a recipe book with some of our favorite healthy recipes. And then from there, a community started to form. So that's where the idea of the app and everything kind of came from and it's just grown into what it is today. Honestly

it's more than a dream come true because we never envisioned it being what it is today. Do you know how big your New Zealand fan base, your community is? Because everyone around the office today was very excited that we're talking to you. Oh I love that! That makes me so happy because we were meant to, I was actually meant to come to New Zealand literally the weekend

before we went into lockdown earlier in the year. And one of my best mates lives over there and we were going to come over for a kick for a few things but also go and see her. I absolutely love New Zealand. So we do have a little bit of, a lot of kick users are over in New Zealand and I wish I could get over there more. And obviously this year, I was close to her. We can't wait to come over and see you guys. So this is the relaunch of the app.

What are some differences between old and new? The biggest difference is our new trainers. So we've got new masterclass trainers. We've got three empowering women on board and they're just so incredible. So we've got Elise who is our boxing masterclass trainer and she's just a legend in the community. I'm loving her sessions. We've got Brooke who is a little powerhouse and she's our HIIT trainer.

So a lot of her sessions require, you know, little to no equipment. And then we've got Britt, who is a New Zealander. Yay, Kiwi! And she's a good friend of ours. And we were just so stoked to be able to work with her. And she serves up our strength sessions. So that's the biggest difference for sure. But there's so many changes to the app.

So I highly recommend if anyone has tried it in the past and did like it, but haven't really been on it in a while, definitely check it out again. Well, it's a subscription-based app and available to download in the App Store and Google Play. Steph Clearsmith, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Thanks, guys. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. I would like to put forth a notion of retiring a social, what would you call this?

A social nicety? Yeah. A pleasantry? A pleasantry, yeah. Because I can see when it had its place. Yeah. But I don't think we need to do it anymore. And you're sick of people saying this.

I, yeah, I can't remember. I got asked to say it to somebody recently and i was like no you do it it's so simple and you're just like no the thing that i'm talking about that much is when somebody say you run into somebody yeah and you're talking and they say oh say hello to for example yep i could be talking to somebody and this this happens online and stuff as well too i could be talking to somebody and then when they you're wrapping as well too. I could be talking to somebody and then when you're wrapping it all up, they're like, oh, say hi to Fletcher Megan for me.

You never ever say. And I'm always like, yeah, yep. And I never do. I never do. Because these days, it's as easy for them to say hello to you as it will be for me to open a line of communication to say hello to you.

Like they could literally send them a Facebook message. Uh-huh. Exactly. That's starting a conversation. I was just talking to Vaughan and that reminded me I thought I'd better say hello.

And then you're like, oh, hey, how are you? Good, thanks. And then whatever happens from here on, that's on YouTube. So that's starting a whole conversation

whereas you could just say blah, blah, blah. I was talking to them. I ran into them. They said to say hi to you. Be like, oh, that's nice. That'd be lovely. So that's starting a whole conversation, whereas you could just say, blah, blah, blah. I ran into them. They said to say hi to you. That'd be lovely. I'd feel quite nice if you said that. I never do it. I never do it.

Why not? I've probably got a lot, a backlog of people I have to say hello to. Are you withholding any from Megan and I? Probably. I can't think of, yeah, definitely somebody. I always toss it on. Work with. Would have been like, say hi to

Fletcher Megan for me. I would have been like, yeah, yep. And I just haven't. But you're done with this saying. It happens. I can understand when in the 1800s you'd run into- Sir Reginald Filbis. Yes.

Yeah. I like how you almost went Regis Filburn, but you changed it slightly. Yeah, and he's like, well, do pass on my regards to your father. It's been an age. Now, he hasn't seen my father because they live three days horse ride apart. However, I'm on my way to see my father. I'm just beginning my three-day horse ride. Now, when I get there, I'll be like,

Father, I've arrived. Son, wonderful to see you. And I say, I ran into Lord Regin Philbis on the way, and he said to pass on his regards. I haven't seen that old bastard for years. And then they'll be like, oh, I must write him post or something like that. And then they spark up their

old mateship. But if I'm at Countdown in Morrinsville and someone's like, I haven't seen you mum for ages, do say hello. I'll say, yep, and I won't. It's like, pass on your regards. You message her. No, but it's not like I want to start a conversation.

It's just say, please pass on my regards. You can't care that much then. What regards do you have that you wish to give to my mother with me as a mouthpiece? It's not. Haven't I said that when you've been going to see your parents? I'm like, say hi to your parents from us. I never do. You message them and say hello.

I don't need, I don't want a whole conversation. I just want you to say. To message Christine and say, there is an absolute backlog of times when Fletch and I have been like, say hi to your parents. Say hi to Anne. Hope Anne's well.

Never. I would never. Because my mum's like, say hi to Ali, my best friend. And I'm always like, mum says hi. No way. What a bunch of bullshit. You get that warm feeling?

That warm feeling? Oh, that's nice that she thought of me. You do it. It'll be way more meaningful if your mum messaged Ellie saying, I've just been chatting to Meg and I hope you're well. Way more. Yeah, but that's starting a combo. Yeah, then how did it all quit?

You don't always need to do that. I don't want to pass on you. Every time you pass a thought of someone. I'm not being your regards mailman. I'm not running pleasantries between two people. I'm a very polite, pleasant person, but something about passing on somebody else's well wishes, do it yourself if it means that much to you.

Otherwise it doesn't feel like you really care. Again, back in the day. It's just a nice thing. If you were limited letter writing supplies in World War and you're writing to your sweetheart and you're like, pass on your regards to your parents, understandable. You're at war. But what are you doing? You're at the

supermarket. No, but say I just message Christine, your mum, now and I'm like, hi, how are you? She'd be like, I'm good but this is weird. But I do care that she's okay so I can just do it through you and be like, but that's on your awkwardness in the opening line. Vaughn was just saying that something's happened.

Thought of you, hope you and Iena well. That's on you. You deliver it. You should test this and see what she says. Shit, but okay, full stop. Yeah.
