Today, Tuesday the 27th of October, 2020. 2020, no podcast yesterday because it was a public holiday. Yeah, correct. But you can hear, you may have been able to hear the light audio libations in the background of Harry Styles. Libations. New song, Golden, and the video of which has been watched

Many times in studio this morning I think it may be addressed in the podcast at some stage There may be mention of it But yeah it came out today And Megan you've been absolutely frothing over this It starts with him running Moves on to him in a turquoise suit With Gucci lace driving gloves

Yes definitely only Megan Features him in a turquoise suit with Gucci lace driving gloves. Yes, definitely only Megan. Features him in water, topless. And then we finish with him in a yellow bucket kind of hat which only he can wear. He looks super cute and only he can pull it off. Him and Paddington Bear.

I think Paddington Bear's got one of those. That's what it looks like, little Paddington. Paddington Bear's going to be above Harry Styles on the list of people who can pull off a floppy red hat for me. A yellow, yellow hat. And let's talk trench coats at a different time because no one rocks a trench coat like Paddington. Very true. But yeah, no, that. It's good.

How many watches during the show? I reckon you've notched up 15. I was going to say there's more than 10. I don't know about 15. But less than 1,000. It's so annoying because I have to turn it off every now and then to talk. Yeah. And what happens when you go home to Mr. Toyboy?

Just watch it on the sly on the laptop. No, I won't watch that. Although he said the other day, he made some comment about someone being hot. And I was like, excuse me. He's like, Harry Styles. You think I don't hear all the fawning over Harry Styles? Yes, exactly. And I can forward to him at least 15 to 20 compliments far raunchier than that

that he can put in the bank to use as he chooses. Are they all from me? Oh, there's a couple from somebody else in there. Oh yeah, no, definitely me. I was just complimenting him on his fashion, eh? Yeah. No, I don't think his penis is technically fashion, but, I mean, you'd take the compliment anyway. He wore those shorts.

All right, horndog. To quote Megan, he knew what he was doing. When he wore those shorts, he knew what he was doing. Well, you shouldn't run with that lack of support in the crotch region. No. Even those of us who aren't that well endowed. Oh, babes. You're still going to wear underwear jogging, aren't you?

Yeah, but Harry Styles is going to have very saggy balls. Because, yeah, over time, you need the support. Yeah, right. ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fleetsworn and Megan. The podcast.

Hello. Good morning. Welcome to the showch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Morning. Good morning. Tuesday. Feels like Monday, but it's Tuesday. Feels like Monday, but it's Tuesday. That's nice. Was that a Borat?

No. Oh. I feel like you started and then you were like, no. No, it was not. That's nice. That did sound nice. like, no. No. That's nice. That did sound nice. No, I just went, that's nice. Is that back now?

Because. Well, I don't know. I don't watch that at the weekend. I forgot to watch it. I watched it. Executive Intern Anya watched it. There's some. Wow.

Right. There are some moments. Right. What do some moments. Right. What do you mean? Mike. Like, you watch, did you watch it through your fingers? Yeah.

Oh, like, really, like, cringe-worthy. Like, really, like, some people have put in some positions. Right, right. And you're just like, oh, wow.

So lots of people were calling for his daughter to win an Oscar for her performance. Oh, she was great, yeah. I mean, it's what you'd expect. I mean, it's, you know, it's Borat. There is still, you know, like...

She's a model from... I was going to say, where? Bulgaria? Is she Bulgarian? Yeah, I think her Instagram's done well out of it. Right, okay. Maria Bakalova? Yeah, she's really good.

In the 2020 year? Okay, yeah, this is her. Okay. Yeah, she hasn't done much. And 24. Okay. Yeah, not 15. Not 15, because that's what they say in the movie, right? Which is probably a good thing for Rudy Giuliani,

because he sticks his hands down his pants. Yep. In the hotel room with her. He's tucking his shirt in. Yeah, of course, yeah. Oh, because he just took's tucking his shirt in. Yeah, of course. Oh, because he just took the microphone off. Yeah. Of course, of course.

The top six is coming up and some tenants have had to pay back a landlord $12,500. Because it turns out they were subletting their room and that is illegal.

But I've got the top six ways to make money off your rental without subletting a room in your flat. That are legal? Nope. Oh, wow. Question mark.

There's a sometimes. Okay. Justin Bieber. You know how things are sometimes legal? Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A Facebook user, and it sounds like not the only one, and this has happened before,

Mod Abaza, he was killed by Facebook. Oh, okay. So his account was changed to a legacy account, a remembering account. Right. And he was assigned a legacy contact. So that is someone who is close to you that then will manage your account after you pass away.

I've always wondered about that, like what happens when you die. I have seen someone who died at, yeah, a memorial. I think it popped up saying, not like they're dead, but this has become a memorial or a legacy account. Yeah. And it says your name, but above it, it says remembering. Yes.

So it'd be like remembering Vaughan Smith. Let's not use me as an example. Many years. Remembering Vaughan Smith. Not use me as an example. So if you were to pass away and you'd say I'd made you my legacy person, you'd then decide to either delete it or keep it there as a legacy account, as a remembering. Yeah, I'd have control. Okay. Because, you know, like now we're having to, you know,

remove quite a few photos from 10 years ago, which aren't great now. Aren't appropriate. Like, is that something you'd also do? For you? No, I'd let everyone know how much of a shitbag you really were. Damn. Share them, change it to your profile pic. Yeah.

Yeah, okay, great. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds right. That's exactly what I'd do. Great. So how do you assign a... Should we go to Mountie at the social media desk?

Did you know about this? I did, but I think only because I got a notification saying that my dad had set me up as his legacy account owner. Okay, so do you know, do we just do this as settings? This is great. Yeah. Who wants to be my person? I don't need that responsibility. I probably shouldn't choose either of you two because what if we die in the same plane crash, like a work

trip? Well, I'll pick someone outside of here and so it would then also fall upon them to be, okay, that's an interesting proposition. I'm your legacy account but we die at the same time. Oh yeah, okay. Does my wife, who I would list as mine, become also yours? Yeah, but what if she dies on the same time, does my wife, who I would list as mine, become also yours?

Yeah, but what if she dies on the same plane trip and we've gone away on one of these romantic weekends? Yeah, this is a great call. Because if she didn't have me, I'd be like, why not? If she was like, I'm going to make my mum, I'd be like, well, you know, statistically, your mum's going to die before I do. Do you have to assign multiple in case there's like a family?

Like a ranking system. It's like, do you have to assign multiple in case there's like a family? Like a ranking system. It's like do one that's close and then one that's like not and then the third tier is like. But also do you want one of your parents as your legacy contact? Like they'll start posting that bloody Range Rover ribbon. Yeah. Qantas $10,000 flight coupon thing. Yeah, they'll be like, oh, I might post it on his memorial account.

You know, another entry then. That caravan that they're giving away because somebody cancelled an order and all I have to do to win it is share the status. Vaughan would have wanted it. Fletch Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. When was it that we were in Christchurch?

How many weeks ago? Because remember it was when we were in Christchurch that our favourite South Island crypto creature, what do you call those things? That's right. Not yet confirmed. The big cat. Mid-September?

Yeah. With all of its different stories of origin. Remember? It's all like, oh, it was a panther that escaped from a travelling circus. Yeah, or off a boat at Littleton. Yep, Littleton. But the big black cat has been spotted again.

Yes. So it was spotted last time at a quarry, and it was just talked about and how they knew how big it was because when they got there, where it was up to, made them think it was close to, like, a metre. You know, just under a metre tall. Bigger than a feral cat. Yes.

Which do get to a huge size. So I'm not. We're not ruling those out. No. Okay. But it has now been spotted by three men and there's even a photo out the back of their house on Horatane Valley Road,

which is in Heathcote Valley in Christchurch. So if it's compared to where it was, it's moving around the Port Hills. It's hard to get scale on that picture, though. That's the only thing about this picture. So it's under a tree. It doesn't look big, but it's like sitting on its hunches, you know? It's like sitting down. It's sat under a tree.

And they said apparently it was October 15. Theo, the son, spotted it. And he said, Dad, look at that huge black cat in the back paddock. He was like, man, that is a big cat. And then five minutes later, they were like, it was still there. And they're like, okay, that thing is huge. It was 85 meters away. And when they saw it, it was standing and then moved under the tree and sat down. That's where they got photos

through the binoculars. So they held the binoculars up and lined it up and took a photo. Now that's hard because I've tried to take a photo of a full moon through a telescope. It just gets wobbly, doesn't it? It's very challenging. The tiniest movement really buggers the whole thing up. So they then took the family dog out to track the cat. This is a dog that's done deer tracking before. Oh, okay. Yeah, and then they got within 10 metres apparently

and then the cat just boosted it. I don't know if I would be one too close to it. Why wouldn't you video it? Should have been videoing. Come on. 100% should have been videoing at that stage. I'd get a drone out there next time. Get a drink.

What was it again? Get a drone and a tranquilizer. They must have one of those at a runner park, right? Surely. Someone comes up. Yeah, get those. Get them out. Yeah, if it was under a train.

But then it had scooted before and they got there and then you'd look like a crazy person when they did get there and it was no longer there. Well, that's good. So we've got a little bit more of a photo. I still, this is all black too. It's a black, big black cat. I still maintain if they're like feral cats have like mixed colourings, right? How does it like stay? Oh, you're saying feral cats are such a mixed breed that very rarely would you find a completely black one? Yeah. Are you saying it's got to be a panther? Yeah. Imagine just going out

for a little jog around the Port Hills or like a nice walk, a weekend walk and then you run into that. Sometimes you'll even be going for a walk in like the suburbs

and there's a very brazen cat. It might be worth taking a little whiskers pouch if you are going to head up the Port Hills just as a decoy. Are you talking like the tinfoil one with wet food in it? Don't take biscuits because it'll hear it jingling in your pocket

and come for them. Yeah, just take a wet pouch. Yeah, a wet pouch. And then if you see it, just rip the top off. Yes. Put it down on a rock. Yeah. Yeah, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz, bzz.

And then just slowly walk. I was going to say slowly walk backwards. Oh, I'd run. I'd run. You'd run. ZM's Fletch, Vaugh going to say slowly walk backwards. Oh, I'd run. I'd run. You'd run. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. From the first class ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there.

Today's top six, the top six ways to make money off your rental without subletting. You're flat because that's what's happened in a recent ruling says that those tenants must repay their landlord $12,500. Which, I mean, I've known people that have done this for quite a while, actually. They'll go away on summer holiday or go away for two weeks and rent it out on the down low. Which is the whole thing or just a couple of rooms? Like their room, maybe, or the flat. But it still blows my mind how many people don't know that's illegal. Because they're like, oh, I might just get someone else in to pay me. And it's like my mind how many people don't know that's illegal. Because they're like,

oh, I might just get someone else in to pay me. And it's like, no, you can't do that. But then why not? Like, rent is so ridiculously expensive. If you could get someone in for two weeks to cover your flat, Because the way that a landlord vets a tenant

is different to the way that you vet the tenant. And then that tenant that you've put in has no responsibility. I don't care, it's not my house. And then that tenant that you've put in has no responsibility. I don't care, it's not my house. And it's their fault for making rent so expensive. But if it's just one room. Yeah, and a flat with existing flatmates. And the other flatmates agree to it

and sort of semi-monitor the situation. I'd be willing to turn a blind eye. Yeah. But like renting out the whole house. Yeah. Is different because especially if they're making money off it, which is what the situation was. So yeah, man secretly sublet his apartment

in Auckland's swanky Metropolis Residences. That's that big tower in Auckland that looks like New York-ish. Yeah. Looks like it's out of a Batman movie. It does. So yeah, they've got to pay back about $10,000 in rent and the whole bond goes back to the landlord, $2,500.

Wow. So yeah, $12,500. Um, um, um, um, um. So I've got the top six ways to make money if you're a renter without subletting. Number six, run a doggy daycare. Oh, okay. Just make sure the doggy daycare's closed

on flat inspection day. And maybe the day before for cleaning because there'll be lots of poos in here and scratches on the floor. Maybe keep them outside. Unless there is no outside. Then keep them inside. But put down a rug?

Look, I'm not here to run your whole business. I'm just here to give you ideas. Number five on the list of the top six ways to make money off your rental without subletting. Doggy daycare, what happens to every pet? It dies.

Correct. You could start a pet cemetery where you could sell like a square foot of backyard. If you've got a bigger dog,

you're going to have to pay more. No, put them down long ways. That's what I was saying. That's what I was thinking but if you had like a real big dog

it probably might still go spread out more than the foot by foot. Because they get stiff so you still need down long ways. That's what I was saying. That's what I was thinking but if you had like a real big dog it probably might still go spread out more than the foot by foot. Because they get stiff. So you still need a big hole for the legs. Push them down.

Oh my gosh. As best you can. All great until it all comes back to life like in that Stephen King book. Hopefully you've moved out by then though and it's somebody else's problem.

Number four on the list of the top six ways to make money if you're renting without subletting. This is a classic. If you live near a sports ground hire out your lawn for parking. Number four on the list of the top six ways to make money if you're renting without subletting. This is a classic. If you live near a sports ground, hire out your lawn for parking.

I've always wondered the legalities of that. Like everybody that lives next to Eden Park. Yeah. And there was a mate of mine when I lived in Hamilton, they had a massive front section and it was quite close to the city and people would drive to work in the city and head to hire out his lawn. Really? Oh man, in winter it was just an absolute shit show. But it's their property.

They can do what they want. But then if you can't sublet a room, how can you sublet the driveway to park on? Because that's just a car sitting there. It's not potentially going to cause any harm. Yeah, but you're making money off somebody else's property without their consent. Is that not potentially going to cause any harm. Yeah, but you're making money off somebody else's property without their consent. Isn't that the...

Is that the issue? I don't know. Well, I knew a flat that basically funded their entire power bill with parking for Eden Park. Wow. And some more. Every game, All Blacks game, cricket game, whatever. If I was the landlord, I'd be like, have at it.

I don't care. As long as you don't ruin the grass. Yeah, that's the problem, man. Number three on the top six ways to make money off your renter without subletting. Subletting but living there too. That's called being in charge of the flat accounts and just making it so everybody else's rent covers yours. Well, we've all been flatting with one of those people.

Yeah. That their whole rent's being covered. Yeah. I was thinking if you were there first and no one else knew how much of a weekly rent was, you could definitely... It's cheeky.

It's very cheeky. Number two on the list of the top six ways to make money off your rental without subletting. In a few days, we'll be able to find out

if you can start running a legal cannabis dispensary there. Oh, yeah, true. I don't know if you will be. No. Is it zoned for business and pleasure? Who knows? And number one on the list of the top six ways to make money off your renter

without subletting it, sell their house on their behalf and then take your real estate agent's cut. Yeah, okay. Because you've just been a real estate agent. You didn't have their permission, sure, but oh, my God, what are we? Why are you being so picky for? You just made a lot of money. Happy days. That's today's top six. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. So this happened in 2015. Just before Christmas. So it'll be coming up five years ago since this happened. A Queensland nurse-in-training, Charlotte, who was, well, by my calculation, she's 43 now, so she would have been in her 30s when it happened.

She slipped on a grape in the produce department of Woolies. Oh, okay. Oh, I've got to wonder if Woolworths know that they've got a scam email going around. Do they? Yeah, I got an email that was like, hello, Vaughan. It's us, Woolworths. And you're like, congratulations.

I'm like, for what? Not being in a's us, Woolworths. And you're like, congratulations. I'm like, for what? Not being in a country where you're even the name of the supermarket. And they said, oh, you've won something. Click here. I was like, not today. So you're saying if that was like Countdown or New World on that email, you might have fallen for it.

Hold on. I've still got it here somewhere. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Here we go. The real giveaway was the email address it came from. Mailer at frequentexample.cloud. Oh, yeah. You know, that's the thing.

You always check. Always check. Have a look. And it'll always be some nonsense, the email address. But anyway, this woman, she slipped over on a grape in the lead up to Christmas. Yeah. She said there was no non-slip mats. Okay. Because, you know, sometimes in the lead up to Christmas. Yeah. She said there was no non-slip mats. Okay.

Because you know sometimes in the produce department, supermarkets will have like that stuff that sometimes people have as doormats. It's kind of got those holes in it. Yeah, I've never really noticed that. It's trippy. Is that a thing? But like how does your trolley navigate those? Well, no, it's just right in front of where there might have been like a grape come right,

come loose. But a grape can go far. They can go meters. Well, that's the idea of the big hole is it stops the roll. Right. It hits that and if it bounces, you know, one of the first couple of times it should stop it. She said she slipped on a grape.

It was very busy. It was the lead up to Christmas. And she said her lower back, right shoulder and right hip have never been the same. She actually had to have a hip replacement. And she's claiming it's all related. She wants $100,000 for the money she's lost pre-case. Yeah.

She wants $750,000 for future economic loss. She wants $40,000 for future surgical expenses, including the revision to the total hip replacement, because apparently that'll need a follow-up. And the rest, she wants all of her court costs and everything covered. She believes that she should be entitled to $1.3 million. And she's been fighting

this for five years. Yeah, it's five years since it happened. And so she hasn't been paid any money yet. No. But that's just what she wants. I wouldn't just, I just couldn't be bothered. I'm trying to think what I would do if you slip on a grape at a supermarket and like all that stuff happened to you.

Well, this is, she must have absolutely gone down on it. I know. Was she running and had it running and slid and smashed into something? Like those are some horrendous injuries. Yeah. I can understand like, you know, when you slip on something and you move real quick

and you might tweak your back or your shoulder or something. But that's why we're lucky we've got ACC. Whereas Australia's kind of a mini America. Everybody's suing everybody for all sorts. So just watch the grapes. See, I reckon you're more likely to take a tumble by the muscle cabinet.

With a dribbly sprayer or something. Yeah, the old saltwater sprayer. That's always on when you walk past it, isn't it? The sprayer. Yeah, well, after you

push the button to stop the sprayer so you can get out your muscles and then it starts spraying again and it will sometimes give it a bit of a

pfft, pfft, pfft. I've just never seen anyone getting muscles from there. No, they're always well-advocated. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan,

the podcast. Harry Styles on ZM His video for Golden is out today I told you that it was out And you just I went to the bathroom Megan said we'll watch it in the top of the hour Now that's what we call the break

For an hour that's done of the show At the end of this break To the end of the news Is what we call the top of hour Now Megan said let's watch it in that But Fletch couldn't help himself I was queuing it up When you were in the bathroom I was queuing it up when you were in the bathroom. I was queuing it up

and I've got it ready. It was like the kid left in the room with the lolly and they're like don't eat that lolly and you can have two later. But he couldn't help himself and he ate the lolly. Is Harry Styles a lolly? Yes. Well you can see his lollies jumbling around

in his pants. What? Oh yes Megan. That's what we call a top of our treat for Megan. Just for me. Yeah, definitely just. It's like a stick of RJ's licorice in that pants. Oh, my God. Don't you sexualise him?

I think he's sexualising himself. Well, his shorts are sexualising his junk. Producer Jared, you had a scare at the weekend. Yeah, young old Ruby started hobbling around the house with a little limp. This is your beagle. My baby girl. How old is your beagle? Eleven.

Eleven-ish. Okay. That's good innings for a beagle, isn't it? Yeah. They don't live. I mean, I don't want to. You don't say that. It's a circle of life.

You looked at pet insurance. You're probably a bit late to be buying pet insurance for an 11-year-old dog. Oh, no, I had pet insurance already. I was just checking to see if there were any loopholes that they were going to get me on. Okay, because they do. They love to get you in a loophole, don't they? Insurance

companies? Yep. Okay. So, my question is, are there any declared or undeclared wars or civil wars happening at the moment? What? Because that's in your insurance policy. Yep. This claim is excluded in the result

of a declared or undeclared war or any act thereof invasion or civil war. So you're saying if we were bombed by Fiji and your dog was caught in some shrapnel. Yeah, they should have had a luck. You are not going to be covered by pension. Nah, because it's an act of war. Has anybody actually ever read all the stuff in your insurance? Any insurance?

Like I remember reading the travel insurance stuff. They cover hardly anything. What? Like, remember that clause we don't cover for a pandemic? And everyone's like, skip over that. Yeah, don't worry about it. That'll be fine. That's never going to happen.

Yeah, yeah. What constitutes war, though? Like, what if you and your neighbours got into a bit of... Well, you ask yourself, you look at it and you're like, war. Hmm. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. War.

It is war because this isn't good for anything. Yeah, right. But then that's what it says, declared or undeclared. So that pretty much covers any sort of conflict, right? Yeah, I would have thought so. And then you'd have to go into... But that's the thing. Then if you want to claim for a $400, $500 vet bill,

up to like a $1,200 vet bill, think about it, kind of that, then you've got to then hire a lawyer who's going to fight your case. It's going to cost you more than that. Yeah. Yeah, go to court to define the word law. Yeah. So probably don't take your beagle to like Afghanistan or any kind of war zone. No, probably not.

That's probably the way to look at that. East Timor? Well, peacekeepers. Yeah, but there's a conflict. Is that a war? Oh, yeah, right. They wouldn't. No.

But in this day and age, so if I want to take young Ruby to the vet, I have to do a deep dive into the socio-cultural stuff of like various nations. No, no, no. It's got to be a war happening here, Jared.

But it doesn't say that. It just says in it. And they'll sing you on that. But your dog has to be injured as a result of that war. Yeah. So you're fine. Just because a war's going on somewhere else, Jared, they're still going to pay you.

I need you to know this dog has not been to the Middle East. They're like, what? This was not this dog has not been to the Middle East. They're like, what? This was not an IED. But you know what? They are cheeky insurance companies, so I don't blame you for, you know, being worried. Turns out we didn't need the surgery and she was probably faking the limp. Good, they do that.

She wanted treats. Yeah, she wanted treats. Plus the beagle. This is a long tease But in just over An hour's time I'll tell you why My dog's not faking a limp As part of

What was A whole thing A terrible weekend It was a great weekend Marred by Yeah Was it last year That this

We spoke about this In studio And we were like I don't know if this is appropriate. The Wiggles had a song. It's called the Poppadom song. I've got it here. Okay, play.

So it's from 2014. To describe the video here, this is from a series called Wiggle House. Yeah. It's like a TV series. Okay. And this was from episode 52. Yeah. Lockie's poppadom party.

Okay. He loves poppadoms. Yeah. And there's dancing and everybody is dressed in saris and- Kurtas? Yes. Okay. And they're dancing dancing Holding poppadoms

Yeah The one person Who's not a member Of the Wiggles That's in this video Is a lady Of India descent She's at the front

She's like got this Forced smile And like someone's Got the gun On the small of her back Yeah someone said She's smiling But her eyes Are lifeless and cold Yeah they're like She's like got this forced smile on her, like someone's got the gun in the small of her back. Yeah, someone said she's smiling but her eyes are lifeless and cold. Yeah, they're like, she's a help.

That person that you're talking about has actually tweeted to be clear this was not the representation I wanted. Oh, wow. Apparently this has come up a few times but we've never had an apology from the Wiggles. They've never even acknowledged that maybe this was a bit on the nose.

Now, Anthony has finally said, look, I wrote the song and directed the clip in 2014, which was meant as a celebration. It was not my intention to be culturally insensitive to the Indian community or to add value to ethnic stereotyping apologies. He's got a cricket bat now. Anthony, the guy, he's got a cricket bat now. Anthony, the guy, he's got a cricket bat now.

Oh, no. But then, like, he's 50 whatever. Yeah. And I don't believe he did this with malice intent or a point and laugh at a culture intent.

It's not coming from a place of malice. No. No. But also, he's, we're all white people. We're not on the receiving end of it. And I can see how some people would have been like, that's cringeworthy of my culture.

But it's the Wiggles. Everything's a little bit cringeworthy. Yeah. Because when I originally saw that, I was like, oh, not okay. And so I went and delved into the comments to see what everyone else was saying. I mean, we don't need to cancel the Wiggles. They've apologised and no malice intent. But it's Australia and

they were all like, oh, no harm, no foul. Peace, Evergrade. What's wrong with that? Nothing wrong with that. So yeah, I mean, they've apologised. So we've come a little, a few steps but then the rest of Australia is still okay with a bit of casual racism. Do you remember when they were staying in the same hotel as us? Yeah. In Dunedin?

And you absolutely fangirled. You fangirled and stalked them hard. Yeah. You even went up in the car park. I got photos of three of the four. I'd do it again. Did you get in their van? No, I just said, hello. I stuck my head around the column

in the van. So my head was in the van. Okay. Hello. Yeah, I said said, hello. I stuck my head around the column in the van. So my head was in the van. Okay. Hello. Yeah, I said. My name's Vaughn. Oh, my children like the Wiggles. Well, hey, look.

It's just your children. I think it was payback for how many hours of the Wiggles. Yeah. I think you actually did a little scream when we said they were all down in the same car park. I know, yeah, and I was really excited. I was much like the woman in that video. I've been indoctrinated. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

The fake Melania Trump movement has gathered some heat. This is crazy. You guys are all about this. I've been on board from the get-go, but a lot of people are like, no, don't be silly, don't be silly. Well, there's always, you know, because you remember last election, they were like, it's a fake Hillary.

It's a body double Hillary because she's not well enough to be campaigning. And I was like, oh, whatever. And there's been some fake Melania stuff, and I've been like, oh, don't buy it. But the photos that came out at the weekend, it's pretty hard side by side to say that's the same person. Yeah. So she was boarding

Marine One and she was wearing. Helicopter. Yeah, that's the helicopter. She was wearing the same thing that Melania was seen in earlier in the day. Right. She must be in on it. She must not, I mean, if this is a fake Melania. She's wearing the same

thing, the same heels, the same sunglasses. The hair's very convincing. But this Melania is leaning out of the helicopter and she has like a broad smile on her face. Now people have zoomed in and compared the smiles. Even the lips and the nose and the face structure are not the same. The nose looked a little bit the same. It's the teeth that are the giveaway.

The teeth. Because they're rounded. She's got, Melania's got kind of squarish teeth. Yeah. And this second Melania has like roundish teeth. And also this other Melania. Listen to us. Yeah, I know.

You guys are full on. Oh my God, is this how a 5G conspiracy theorist starts? Yeah. You get in an echo chamber and people also believe anything and then you just set each other off. I mean,

we don't know that those comparison photos, someone isn't just like, oh, that's true. Yeah, that's true. But like, if they are to be believed, her lips are,

Melania's lips are much fuller than this second Melania. And we've never seen her smile like that. Shut up. And also the height. I know it sounds stupid.

The height. When they were standing next to each other. Yeah. Do you reckon Melania tags in fake Melania when Donald Trump wants some love

and she's like, no. Absolutely. That's what I was going to say. If I was Melania, I'd be like, absolutely get a fake one. There's only so much

I can put up with in a day. Tag team, I'm out. Also an interesting possibility there. Is it cheating if they're a lookalike? I mean, I don't think

either party would be complaining in that scenario. She must have won out though. Even after the debate, didn't she rip her hand away from his? She's always doing that though. He's always trying to have a sneaky hand hold. Clammy little hands though. Even after the debate, didn't she rip her hand away from his? She's always doing that though. He's always trying to have a sneaky hand hold. Clammy little hands though. Yeah. Yuck. Clammy little hands. Fletchvorn and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. Fletchvorn and Megan's Audio Ninja Warrior. So it's like Ninja Warrior except the obstacle course are sound effects that you make with your mouth. Now, you have to complete them to our satisfaction.

We have a very low bar of expectation. We do. So there's no need to panic. But we will pause if we want to discuss whether or not you advance to the next. Yeah, if your sound effect is satisfactory enough. Yes, yes. We've got to do it the fastest out of the two competitors, and we welcome to Audio Ninja Warrior contestant one, Jordan.

Good morning. Hi, mate. How's it going? Good, mate. Good. All right, so. Good, mate. Jordan, are you ready? Oh, yeah. Okay, we're going to give you six sound effects. Your competitor, I believe Nicole, is in the cone of silence.

So she won't be at any advantage. She doesn't get to know the six before she faces them just like you. Yeah. Alright, Jordan. Your time starts now. Any animal that lives in the sea. I like that. Whale call. Nice. Is that what it was?

A warning alarm on a plane. Opening a jar. Oh, yeah. It's good, it's good. A guitar solo shred. Is that more of a banjo? Yeah, no. It started banjo.

The crunch of a poppadom. Oh, that was good. Yes. And a burp. No, a burp. A burp, not a bird. A what? A burp. A bird? A burp. A burp, not a bird. A what? A burp.

A bird? A burp. Yay! Good sound effects. Some confusion there. Good sound effects, Jordan. Wow, man, that was great. That was good.

Quality sound effects, but it's about speed. It really is. You've got to get through that course. All right, we welcome in from the Cone of Silence, Nicole. You did not hear Jordan. Just go through the audio obstacle course. Good. Okay, just check in.

Well, we have six sound effects for you now, Nicole, on our Audio Ninja Warrior course, and your time starts now. Any animal that lives in the sea. Welcome, welcome. Nice. A warning alarm on an aeroplane. Beep, beep, beep.

Yeah, sure. That's quite a casual one. That's just something low end. Opening a jar. Oh, yes. That was good. That's so good at opening jars. A guitar solo shred.

The crunch of a poppadom. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. There's a few crunches. And a burp. Yeah. I've done it.

Wow. That was great. That was really good. Well, Nicole. Nicole, we're going to bring in Jordan from the Cone of Silence. Okay. All right, and we do have our Vaughn just going to his stopwatch there. It's close.

I want to work out exactly how close it is. Oh, okay. 1.9 seconds in it. Oh. 1.9 seconds, innit? Oh. 1.9 seconds. Did Jordan miss hearing the word burp? A bit of confusion. Did that cost him?

That did cost him. With 57.8 seconds, Jordan, you came second to Nicole on 55.9. Oh, hard luck, Jordan. Great sound effects from you both, but Nicole... Your bird wasn't what we wanted, but it was a pretty good bird sound effect. Yeah, pretty good sound effects. We did get an extra sound effect with Jordan, so...

Yeah, we did, but that's a twofer. Yeah. That's a twofer. It is. Hey, congratulations, Nicole. Today's winner of Audio Ninja Warrior. Woohoo! Thank you. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

This would be on community notices if we broadcast in Australia because it went crazy on a local Facebook page. A guy who belonged to the Bondi local loop Facebook page. Okay. I put a photo of someone asleep on his couch saying, anybody know this guy? At 5 a.m. this morning, he walked into our apartment,

drunk as anything, planted himself on the couch. It's not a Kiwi, is it? Because you know the Kiwis love Bondi. Yeah. The Kiwis just love Australia. But also, are you allowed to be out drinking until 5 o'clock in Australia? Kiwis love Bondi. Yeah. The Kiwis just love Australia. But also, are you allowed to be out drinking until 5 o'clock in Australia? What's their lockdown situation at the moment?

I didn't think they were doing. Whereabouts was this in Australia? Sydney. What a no. So I know Melbourne's a big no-no. Melbourne's about to get out of lockdown for the first time in like five months. Yeah. So yeah, he's like, months. 30 months. Yeah. So, yeah,

he's like, I don't know this guy. The end of the, oh, so it was AFL apparently. Right. So, that's the thing,

I watched them, some of the NRL grand final at the weekend too. And like, there was so many people on the stadium. I was like, okay.

Yeah, when there's still like, one of the teams playing was Melbourne Storm. I'm like okay you do you boo yeah but yeah so this this was after the afl grand final apparently right uh and there was a bit of a bit of a shindig and then people yeah this guy fell asleep on this guy's couch he put it on the facebook page people are like calling the police he's like i'm not calling the police on him he's not violent he's it on the Facebook page. People are like calling the police. He's like, I'm not calling the police on him.

He's not violent. He's not causing any trouble. I'm just going to let this dude sleep it off. But if you know him, know that he's safe. Yeah. I always feel bad when like someone accidentally wanders into a house and falls asleep on the couch. It's not like, also, who's not locking their door? That's what that is.

I was like, how did he walk in at five o'clock in the morning? Like I live in an apartment and I always lock my door. Yeah. It's just kind of habit. was like, how did he walk in at 5 o'clock in the morning? Like, I live in an apartment and I always lock my door. Yeah. It's just kind of habit. You just do it, right? Yeah. Always check this when you go to bed. Yeah. Turn off all the lights and you make sure the door's locked. Because he obviously thought it was his house, right?

Yeah, because you imagine if there's like a row of flats or apartments and they all look the same. Yeah. And you're, I'm guessing staying at your mate's place. Yeah. On their couch. Yeah. Then, yeah, you just walk in, all look the same. Yeah. And you're, I'm guessing, staying at your mate's place. Yeah. On their couch. Yeah. Then, yeah, you just walk in, the doors open.

Yeah. Well, we were wondering this morning in a case of maybe mistaken, mistaken surfing situation. House entity. Address. Address. Dentity. Yep. Where you've, where you've nodded off, where you've kipped out.

Where you've woken up. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe it wasn't your house and alcohol was involved. Yeah. Because you woke up at a service station, but you knew. Oh, no, I knew I was sleeping behind a service station. It wasn't a surprise.

I mean, it kind of was. There was a moment when I first woke up and I was like, where am I? But then I was like, that's right, I'm sleeping behind a service station. I don't think I've ever woken up in a place that's like shock, you know, it's been a surprise. There's been nights when I've woken up and I was like, well, I don't really remember getting home. But, you know, not like nights where I'm like, oh, I shouldn't be here. I've woken up, I shouldn't be here.

That's never happened to me. This isn't my house. That's never happened to you? No. Even in the Hamilton days? No, we had a guy once in our flat. We just got back from a night out And then this guy knocked on the door

And then I was like, hello? And he was just like, yeah And because we lived in a big flat He's like, I'm just staying here I was like, oh, do you know one of the girls? He's like, yeah And came in and slept on the couch And I was like, girls, do you know this guy?

And they were all like, no I was like, oh like no I was like oh and then I was like I think you're in the wrong house and he started getting like all like just piss off leave me alone

so I was like oh that's all I need and the girls were like call the police I was like my pleasure because I love calling the police I love calling

star triple five I love calling one one one it's exciting stuff Sylvia good good morning. Hi. Whereabouts is a friend that did this? She was in Keddy Keddy.

Okay. And so what happened? She had a really hard night out and couldn't remember, but she woke up in a single bed in her childhood room in the house she grew up in. And there was this lovely old couple who were like, oh, well, you've had a really big night. Who are you?

And like nursed her back to living again. And then they just had a cup of tea and talked about how she grew up in the house. Oh, my God, that's wholesome. She was mortified. I bet. But I love that her, like, natural tracking was like, go back to your family home.

Like how eels return to the river that they were spawned in. Go back to where you feel safe. Swim against the current. Find your childhood bed. A Sydneysider put up on his local Facebook page that there was a guy asleep in his lounge drunkenly after the AFL final. He said, no harm, no foul.

The guy's not aggressive or a problem. Yeah. But does anyone own him? He doesn't have a phone or his wallet. So don't worry about him. He's right here and he's doing okay. Which is pretty great. Yeah.

Pretty great attitude to have towards someone who literally Broke into your house. Helped themselves into your house. So we want to know, we've woken up after a big night. Stacey, this happened to a friend. Yes. So my friend in London, she was in a hotel with her husband and they got very, very drunk and ended up having a massive argument,

which you do when you have too much drink, generally. He stormed off to bed and she went, oh, I'm going to stay drinking. I'll let him get on with it. So she carried on drinking and then she got up and went to go to bed and she was like, oh, he took the room key. So she went to reception, got a new room key,

went and got into bed and fell asleep. And she said, I woke up the next morning and opened my eyes and went, oh, I don't remember my room being yellow. And she said, when she rolled over, she was looking at this guy who was looking at her like, oh my god, I have no idea who the hell you are in my bed. And

she then, because she thought my husband was going to absolutely kill me, she made this poor guy go to breakfast with her to make sure that her husband knew nothing happened. Oh my God. Oh, what like, I want to make a breakfast, you've got to meet my husband and tell him that we did not engage in anything sexual.

Absolutely. I would have been like, no way. You're on your own there, darling. I'd rather sleep on the couches in the bar. What's it, do you think there was... You guys are so sheepish. I bet, do you think there was someone that shared, like, the same last name or something and the person at reception

was just like, that'll do? She said she had no idea. I don't even know how I knew what room to go to. I just literally was so drunk. Because we had a massive argument, she said I was so drunk,

she went, I was like, oh, I've got a real question. So I got into room key and just literally flopped into bed. Wow. And how did the guy

not wake up either? Like, that's pretty crazy. Stacey, thanks for your call. Amy, whereabouts did you wake up? I am on a toilet, like my head on the toilet seat in a nightclub in a room. Oh, actually, yeah, I've done that too. You've worked out in a nightclub? In a bar.

Oh, yuck. Yeah, I feel like a bit of a tactile vomit because I was, you know, I'd just been a bit sick. But I wanted to carry on partying. And I must have put my head down for a couple of minutes and then woke up and I was like, oh, man. Like, how long have I been here for? So, like, you know, I just lost my hands. And then we realized that it was really quiet.

And I was like, oh. And then, like, all the lights were, it was really quiet. And I was like, oh. And then all the lights were really bright and I just went to the door and opened it to get outside and the alarm went off. Oh, they locked up with you! When do they clean their toilets, bars? They don't clean their next day.

You wouldn't leave them until the next day, would you? When I cleaned a bar's toilet, we'd clean them the next day. Did you? It was the grimmest thing I've gone bar's toilet, we cleaned them the next day. Did you? It was the grimmest thing I've gone through in my life. They literally did. Oh, I wouldn't leave that urine to stagnate. Come back, it's got mosquitoes. Amy, thanks for sharing. Hannah, where did you wake up?

I live on a street called Marine Parade in Howick and I actually was leaving Ponsonby one night, got in a taxi, had a bit too much to drink, obviously, and got dropped at 60. Yep, okay. Well, let's not give out the numbers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I better hang up. Yeah, and then so I couldn't quite figure it out.

And then I woke up and was like, oh, this isn't my bedroom. And, yeah, I woke up in this beautiful, about a $7 million mansion. Oh, my God. They'd taken me in off their front lawn. My shit was scattered everywhere. What, so they took you in? Yeah, lovely people. Oh, that's nice of them.

I'm surprised by the amount of text messages we've got from people. Somebody said they were kicked out of an Uber and they didn't know where they were. And granted, they had had a bit too much to drink. But someone who lived by where they got kicked out came out, heard the kerfuffle and said, come and sleep it off in here. And they said they woke up there and they couldn't remember anything. They had the story retold to them. What if someone wakes up and they freak out and they, like, I don't know, accuse you of stuff?

I'd take a pillow out to them and be like, you're all right. True. Hannah, thanks for your call. Sally, whereabouts did you wake up? This is a friend. Okay. Yes, so in the early 90s, we were all university students and went out on Christmas Eve for a few drinks.

And my friend woke up in the toilets of the Loaded Hog on Christmas morning. Merry Christmas. And couldn't get home. She didn't get home until early afternoon when she finally had to break out of the toilet. Out of the bar. Yeah, because they wouldn't open on Christmas Day, would they? No, no one found her.

Wow. I just sort of grabbed the soda gun from behind the bar and just... What? Yeah, well, she probably killed it. But, you know. Wow. Wow. I just sort of grabbed the soda gun from behind the bar and just. What? Yeah. Well, she probably killed it. I was like, you know. Yeah. She just had a breakfast Coke.

Well, you need to. Straight out of the. Straight. Breakfast ramen Coke. It's Christmas after all. We had the dog. Thanks for your call, Sally. Five minutes away from eight.

Next on the show, Vaughan Smith, a failure of a weekend. Well, I mean, you build up to something for a couple of months. You have a very exciting time gathering all the resources you need for a hungy, and it doesn't all go perfectly. I'll tell you the whole situation from start to end. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. ZM, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. That song ends so abruptly.

Say the word to it. Well, I'm used to the original Corinne Bailey Ray. It really goes on, doesn't it? Yeah, it really does. Alright, six minutes past eight. It was a massive, I can't even remember when it started. It was months ago that my

friend Johnny said, I'm booking flights to Auckland for the long weekend. I'm like, well, we need to do something. We need to have like an event that we look forward to. You're coming up. Let's get a project going. Okay. And so that's when we decided

Ahangi was where we were going to invest our energies. Okay. And so I started collecting. You remember I collected all those railway, bits of old railway on many journeys up and down the railway lines. The irons. And then

Hessian sacks last week. Some, I always say this wrong, muslin cloth. Muslin cloth, yeah. Apparently I was saying it like muslin with an N. Muslin. But I'm sure we said where's the kids Muslim blanket And they were little But anyway, I'm learning

So got that all sorted And I was very much looking forward to it Now Johnny and Callum, my two mates Arrived on Friday night We had a few drinks We were full of chat And I was very excited After the big lead up

I had all the meat ready. I seasoned the meat. I injected. There was people who warned me, forewarned me. Some things can get a little dry. I was like, shouldn't it? It's all the steam. So I injected like in the pork, for example,

I made an apple juice, apple cider vinegar mix and injected it into the pork so that it was super anyway. So I could hardly sleep. I was so excited. So I woke up at 5.30 on Saturday morning and I lay there and I was like, bugger it, I'm going to go out and start digging the hole. So at six o'clock, the spade went into the ground and I started digging the honey hole. I had it finished before the others were ever awake.

I had it all measured out and everything. And thus we started digging the hungy hole. I had it finished before the others were ever awake. Wow. I had it all measured out and everything. And thus we started. We lit the fire. I was like, we've got so much time on our hands because it's for dinner, but we're starting the fire nice and early. Yep. And I had manuka and kanuka, the two woods that were recommended to me as hot, hard-burning woods.

Yeah. But I'd purchased river rocks. You remember when I got the river rocks? So the rails, I didn't put the railway irons in. Because I was like, I've got the rocks. We're going full traditional. Okay. That's where I think I went wrong. Really?

My first step. Okay. But the rocks, the fire burnt hot. People were messaging and saying, your fire's not big enough. But I've never even been near a fire that hot. It was insane. And it burnt for the recommended four, we went four and a half hours.

It did look like a small fire. It was a small fire, but it was a very hot fire and we were constantly feeding it. Right. Again, something went wrong. So it was then,

it went in and we knew we had to do this part quick, get the rocks out and put them in the hole. We didn't light the fire in the hole because people said it's a real mission

in a small, hungy hole to get in there with the spade and get all the embers out because of the heat just coming straight up at you. So we had a fire

going in the hole but it was in a drum. Okay. So we're like, we're taking care of business, baby. Yeah. The food got prepped.

The veggies got scrubbed and popped in. We had baskets and then bang, bang, bang. Stones in, baskets in, heaps of wet sacks over the top, covered in dirt. And we were like, man, we did that well. We did that quick. We're going to give it four hours, a little bit longer than recommended. And this is where it all went bad because when we started taking the dirt off, no steam came out. And I said, oh, the videos

I watched, like as soon as the first bit of dirt's moved, steam just pisses out. And my friend Mark had arrived by then. Yep. And he said, it's not how it's supposed to go. I was like, ugh. And then we took more. I was like, maybe it's because we had so many sacks on. Yep. And everyone's like, yeah, maybe, Vaughn. Maybe, maybe, Yeah. And everyone's like, yeah, maybe Vaughn. Maybe, maybe mate. And I got down to the last sack

and still it wasn't like hissing with sin. There was a little bit of steam and then I touched, like I put my hand over the hungy basket, which was metal and it wasn't like super hot

and I touched it and I was not, it was, it was warm, but it wasn't. And I was like, oh wow. And then was like, wow. And then apparently Mark said again,

I don't think that you're supposed to be able to touch those. No, you shouldn't, no. That's supposed to be really hot. Mark's being very helpful. And so we carried it inside and that's when we realised, nah, not even close. The meat just had a sauna for four hours. Yeah, yeah.

And it had a the chicken was pretty close the chicken was the close enough the closest so started up the barbecue chucked it all in the barbecue cranked the barbecue right up so it still would have had that smoky flavour

yeah and then Megan said because I said oh you guys come around and Megan's like oh yeah we might actually come around and I said yeah it's buggered

so don't like expect too much. We've got pizza and it's in the barbecue. I literally got to the driveway as you messaged and said it had failed and I was like, oh,

can we turn around now? Did we leave? Mr. Toyboy gave me a nice pep talk though. Did he? Yeah. He's like, remember that time

you all came to our house for brunch and I was making homemade hollandaise and it like went a little too set? I was like, there's nothing wrong with that hollandaise. compared to it. That making homemade hollandaise and it like went a little too set. I was like, this can't even be compared to it.

That was delicious hollandaise. Your perfect standards weren't quite met. Meat, undercooked meat. So did any of the, were the vegetables fine in the hungy? No.

They got cut up and put in the oven. Oh. It was a late meal. Yeah. I was lucky we'd overordered pizza the night before because everyone could just

have a little bit of cold pizza while they waited. Right. So everyone that came over technically just had a late roast. Yeah. Right. But it was yummy. A late when it was finally done. Because it still kind of tasted hungy-esque.

Right. Yeah. Smoky. Yeah, but the beef was just like rubber. That was gone. Right. The dog even was like, oh, no, not for me. How was the soil?

Because that was a question I had before you did the hungy. What dirt were you doing it in? Dirt. Pretty just like brown dirt. Just dirt. Okay. Because it was topsoil and then it got down to like a clay sort of situation. You had a lot of houses in the soil,

but you never told me what I should be looking for. That's all I know. It very much depends on the soil. That's all I know. Everyone that does a hungy is like, oh, it depends on the soil. I got so many supportive messages. There was a few being like, ha-ha, and I didn't even reply to them. I was like.

Did people actually say ha-ha? Yeah. I didn't tease you at all. I was very good about it. Yeah. Everybody was really good. And that was the whole thing. Oh, okay.

So I forgot the other moment. We just put the rocks in the ground, just got it covered, and our stupid old dog ran right through the pile of embers. Like, I just spun around and see our dog hightailing it across the hottest embers I've ever seen. And I was like, Lulu. And I had a wet sack in hottest embers I've ever seen. And I was like, Lulu.

And I had a wet sack in my hand and I picked her up and her paws, she burnt all of her paws. So there's an incoming monstrous vet bill I'm imagining because I've had to go

see the vet every day since to get it redressed. I've now been trusted with dressing it myself. It was quite the sight when I turned up. There was meat on the barbecue

on fire. Vaughn sulking in the corner. With a lion red swapper bottle. No, let it burn. Let it burn. And Lulu's wrapped in bandages

on the couch. All four legs in bandages. What has happened here? So, successful hungy. The rest was a lot of fun. It can only get better.

Well, that's the thing. I was like, I'm packing in. I woke up early the next morning because I couldn't sleep that night either. I felt like I'd

let everybody down. It wasn't until like mid-afternoon yesterday that I could, I don't know, on Sunday that I could actually relax. I felt I'd let everybody down

so I woke up early and went and filled in the hole in a real sock. I was like, get back in there, you bastards. So maybe round two? Yeah, definitely.

That's what we've decided. We can't let our legacy end like this. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Stepping up to the podium for the 10th year in a row. Your gold medalist. Where's my medal? Yes, it's the segment, Where's My Medal, where we reward New Zealanders doing those little things.

Small victories. Small victories. I actually could nominate myself for this yesterday. I finally cleaned one set of my apartment windows. Nice. I knew. One set. Oh, my God.

So, like, one set, like, I had to hang out the window and clean all of them. And they're massive. And now there's one set of clean and one set of...

Are you cleaning the outside? Yeah. No, that's not a small job. That's actually, like, you risked your life. I know. Leaning out on an old lead-lined window.

Because I was... What could go wrong? I know. I was like, this is how I die. But, you know whatever did you tie a rope around that beam

in the middle of your apartment and then around your waist in case you did I did think about it but I was like you know what I'm living life I'm just hanging out

the window now you've got a clean one and a dirty one I know and it was real hard and I was like that's enough for today and so I'll do the other one

maybe next weekend but it's like quite a comparison of real clean and then dirty. I never realised how dirty that was. No, you've got to live with that. Now, yeah, it's motivation to clean.

But I don't really feel like I deserve a medal for that. Like it's been years in the making. But an actual medal. Years of me saying, I must clean that one day. Hey, when you do that, you're like, well, that's just a little job. And then you start it and you're like, this was a far bigger job than I thought. Yeah. All right, let's start first with Lucy.

Good morning, Lucy. Good morning. Now, why do you deserve a medal? I finally moved my clothes from the floor to the clothes chair. Oh! Did you follow it up with a vacuum? Yes, that was the whole reason. Vacuum, and they'll probably end back up on the floor

but they're on the chair currently. But I love how the chair just turns into like an off the floor clothes hanger. Yeah. That's why I thought about getting a chair in my bedroom and I'm like, you know what, no. Because I'll never sit in it and it'll just become a clothes chair.

Are they clean or dirty? Clean. Yeah, definitely or dirty? Clean. Yeah, definitely not dirty. Okay. Good effort from you, though, Lucy. Good. Good effort. Okay, you're definitely getting a medal.

And a vacuuming. Britt, good morning. Good morning. Now, why did you deserve a medal? So I moved back from Melbourne eight weeks ago, and I moved back in with my parents, and I've only just finished unpacking my suitcases. Oh, wow. Wow. Unpacked after eight weeks ago and I moved back in with my parents and I've only just finished unpacking my suitcases.

Oh, wow. Wow. Unpacked after eight weeks. Firstly, welcome back to New Zealand and thank you for choosing Fletch, Warner, Megan as your... Thank you, guys. Still listen from over there. Big fan.

Oh, thank you. Wow. And of course, they're only just going out of lockdown in like a day or so. I know. I'm absolutely stoked for them. Yeah, you'll be stoked you're back as well. All right, well. It's been a long time coming.

Controversial, though, Britt, to leave it that long. That's when I remember. You know, do that. I remember holidays fondly. I'd get back, and it's the first thing I'd do. I can't relax until it's unpacked. Yeah. Yeah, my parents weren't very relaxed.

They were threatening to take off my door like they did when I was 14. Oh, my God. Why were they taking the door off? Because you had enough pants. Yeah, that's how I used to clean up my stuff, because I had three shins to take away my privacy, because I could always shut the door to hide the mess. Oh, my God.

I love it. I always thought this was a punishment for, like, breaching trust when it comes to privacy. No, I could hide behind the door. So if the door wasn't there, then people could see the mess and that kind of pushed me on to clean it up. Your shame would be revealed. It got a little bit better in time, luckily. Also, I love that Vaughn's eyes just lit up as that could be a possible punishment for his two girls.

Yeah, I know that they come off. Removing the doors. Yeah, easy. Brilliant. All right, Britt, I'll wait there. Medal ceremony is imminent. Sonia, good morning. Why do you deserve a medal?

I parallel parked my car. Wow. Do you not normally parallel park, Sonia? No. Oh, no, definitely. I'll drive, like, blocks away if I need to. I've got a station wagon, so I feel like it's appropriate to get a medal for that. I saw somebody trying to parallel park in the weekend, and I just sat and waited,

because I was like, you're never going to fit in there in that car. I know. And they did, and I was like, I'll take that. Smart car, granted, easier park, but. Some people don't judge the space correctly, eh? No, no. How many attempts did it take you? Just one, but I did go

back, forth, back, forth, back, forth a little. But I did it. That's okay. That's okay to do that. Can you spell parallel, Sonia? I can. I'm not going to. My medal today will be different. I can spell that, but I'm

not going to. No. It is one of those words I still can't spell. Where does I'm not going to. No. It is one of those words I still can't spell. Where does the double L go? There's a lot of doubles. Yeah, a lot of doubles. What is the double? The R or the L? And where does the double L go?

So, Sonia, why did you, why when you normally drive blocks to Parallel Park did you decide today's the day? I just thought, you know, you can do it. I just thought you can do can do it I just thought you can do it I like bugger it it's 2020

I love this what could go wrong you know and I parallel parked my car outside the dairy next minute I got a medal oh that cost her a medal

didn't it okay Sonia wait there I love I love that I love all three contestants today very deserving we're just going to have a quick deliberation here Right there. I love that. I love all three contestants today. Very deserving.

We're just going to have a quick deliberation here. Happy? No. Oh, I think I agree with Fleck. Yeah, okay. Oh, deliberations. Right. Oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. Rolled. I see Tim Harry Styles have come together to watch the video 1,200 times this morning and also band against me. Harry Styles' new music video is out. Golden. And if it's got a million views, 10,000 of them have come from in studio.

All right. He's obviously not a fan of underwear. Today, receiving the bronze medal for her efforts and lifting clothes from one surface to another and then probably putting them back on the original surface

and vacuuming Lucy. Congratulations. Well done, Lucy. The bronze chair bronze medal. You must be very proud. The bronze medal is yours. service and vacuuming, Lucy. Congratulations. Well done, Lucy. Clothes chair bronze medal. You must be very proud. The bronze medal is yours. Silver medal today.

And then where's my medal? After a long weekend. Yeah. For finally unpacking after eight weeks from arriving home, only after being threatened to have her door removed. Her privacy removed too. Britt, welcome home and congratulations. Thanks, Sam.

And that means... receiving the gold medal for her efforts in parallel parking. Vaughan did dock you some points for saying neck minute, but Megan and I overruled him, Sonia, and it doesn't matter. He got rolled. I've got my hand across my chest. Yes. Okay, you deserve the gold.

I'm afraid to sing. Rather than driving for blocks, deciding to P-A-R-A-L-L-E-L Parallel Parker Station Wagon. Congratulations, our gold medal recipient, Sonia. Thank you so much. We must let the anthem play out, Sonia. We must let it play out. Here we go. Here we go.

And... Here we go. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the most popular animals on Instagram. Oh, cats, dogs. Make a pick. Dogs. Dogs. Correct.

Yeah. Correct. Dogs are the most popular animal on Instagram. The hashtag dog got used 138,672,934 times. Okay. But cats weren't too far behind, coming in at 117 million. Do you think that's because you can take your dog to picturesque places more than you can take your cat to?

Yeah, that's true. Like, you know, there's only so much of taking a picture of your cat on the couch or at home. Yeah. As opposed to, you know, here's my dog in front of the pyramids. The Eiffel Tower. Hold on, before we... You want to check your pet insurance before you do that. As we learned earlier,

your animal will not be covered... In a war. ...by the vets to fix an injury in a war zone. Yes, I don't take... Both declared nor non-declared civil or international. Yeah. Jared, if you missed that part of the show, producer Jared read the fine print of his pet insurance.

And lucky he did because a lot of people were about to take their pets. To war zones. To war zones, yeah. Hot spot. Conflict hot spots. So that was always easy to tell. What was going to be the top two? It was going to be cat and dog.

What do you think of the third? Parrots. Bird. Some to be cat and dog. What do you think are the third? Parrots. Bird. Some kind of bird? Nah. What else do people have as pets? I see talking

parrots on TikTok. To take this into, this had 100 million less than cats. Wow. Oh, what is it? 17 million. Give us a clue.

Is that, do you think it's boring? No, they're not. No, heck no. They us a clue. Do you think it's boring? No, they're not. No, heck no. They're not boring. Okay. But not for me. Ferrets.

Rats. No, it's not ferrets. It's rats. Well, those aren't for you. I know those aren't for you. No, I know. Fish. Beavers. Beavers are totally...

I love beavers. Dolphins. I've got into a bit of a beaver hole. The weekend? Unfortunately not. I wasn't in the mood to delve into your personal life. No, no, no, no, no. How phenomenal beavers are at changing an entire ecosystem.

Oh, yeah, they build dams, don't they? Beavers are mind-blowing. Yeah. And they're so smart. Yeah. Oh, yeah, they're phenomenal. They don't they? Wind blowing. Yeah. So smart. Yeah. Oh yeah, they're phenomenal. They're phenomenal creatures. Everyone loves a beaver. Is it from something? I just made it up. I thought beavers

deserved a jingle. Is it from the water? No. Well, I'm just going to tell you because it's taken too long. Horses. Oh, lame. 17 million place for horses. Fourth place belongs to the chicken. Which I'm so stoked. I'm so stoked to see the chicken in the top five.

It shouldn't be in the top five. But also, there was thoughts of this being used, like when people cook chicken and put up a photo. Oh, yeah. That's cheating. Yeah. So they think that might be. And when they put pants on chickens.

Yes. Yeah. Bird, just general. So they think that might be. And when they put pants on. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Bird, just general. Bird came in at fifth place. Okay. Thirteen. What's next? Some of the other more exciting ones.

Yeah. So if you go down to 17th place is where you'll find tigers. Okay. And lions are just behind them. Hopefully that's people doing safaris and stuff, eh? Yeah. Not like people who and stuff, eh? Yeah. Not like people who've got pet tigers. Yeah.

Monkeys had 4.6 million. Elephant had 4 million. Leopards had 3.6. Is beaver on the list? Nah. Okay. Nah. I mean, that's sad.

Maybe we could do that. Try to get more beaver hashtag. The thing is, you don't, I will watch many a beaver. Was it the beaver we were watching eating the cabbage last week? Yeah. That's what got me into the beaver hole. It's so calming. That's what made me do a deep dive into the beaver on the internet.

And then I learned all about, I knew that they changed ecosystems when they built their dams. And did you, have you heard about the parachuting beavers? No. They, um. What? So they parachuted beavers into areas that were. How did they pull the cord?

The beavers? Yeah. Very advanced beavers. No, they. Because you've got to be at a certain altitude to pop the chute. No, they. You should watch this.

It's phenomenal as well. So they, all these beavers got hunted to like the chute. No, they would. You should watch this. It's phenomenal as well. So they hunt, all these beavers got hunted to like the brink of extinction because of, for their pelts.

I'm getting too excited about beavers. You are, I can tell. About their pelts and stuff. And it changed the landscape. Like the dams they used to build

would stop flooding and they'd make ponds and so animals had drinking holes and all water holes and water holes and all this sort of stuff. They hunted them and there was this area that was just not doing well so they parachuted in all these beavers.

They were in a cage and they just shoved the cage out the back of the plane. Nuts, I know. And then the parachute would go and there was, I'll warn you, a couple of parachutes didn't work well. What's wrong with humanity? But they landed and then the traps opened and beavers kind of like settled the area again

and it like became a lush forest again in no time. Wow. All thanks to the beavers. I've just done a search of the hashtag on Instagram, 437,000 posts for the beaver. Yeah, so it's down there on the list. Yeah, I know, but still, they deserve to be hired. They're a fascinating creature.

And they have to keep eating wood to keep their teeth down, otherwise their teeth grow through their bottom. Look, their teeth just keep growing. Goodness. They have to wear them down. So today's fact of the day is, boo, beavers aren't on the list, but according to Instagram,

the most popular animal on the internet is a dog. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Megan, well, a study's been done during lockdown. Now, bear in mind, this did happen in the UK. So it looked at people from ages 14 to 93. It's a widespread. Yeah, and it also based this on a smartphone app.

So pretty amazing that someone that's 93 has a smartphone and is using it. But the research was done by the University College of London, and it analysed the physical activity of all of these people and it found that when lockdown began in March, in the UK nearly two thirds of the population exercised

less. Younger people's activity fell the most. And they reckon maybe that's because the gyms were closed. But over 65s were the only age group which exercised more during lockdown. Discuss. Do you think that would be the same here? No, it was because they were told to stay inside and they wouldn't listen.

They will not be told what to do. That's why it was the exercise. They're too belligerent. Yes. They're like, don't. Even though they're the age group most at risk of dying. 100%. You don't tell me what to do

How strict was their lockdown? Like they had to stay in their homes? Because we were allowed to like I think they were allowed to exercise We were allowed to Go around our own little neighbourhood See I reckon I saw more people exercising Me too

During lockdown Like people that You'd see running or walking That like Were kind of Like running in gear, like jean shorts, and you're like, you don't normally run. No, those aren't running pants.

Those aren't running pants. And you just see more people out exercising, I reckon. I reckon I did more exercise just because also there wasn't anything to do. Yeah. And do you reckon they looked better because they've always just eaten lots of bread and stuff? Their bodies are just used to it. They're just used to the car. Everyone's been on

paleo and all this nonsense. It doesn't say they look better just that they exercise more. I just assumed. I just assumed people who exercise more get more attractive. Better look to them. But yeah, I don't know because that's interesting because that would be going into the summer.

That spring, March, it's kind of still winter. It's just an autumn. Spring? Spring. Because the opposite for us. Because when we were locked down, it was going into... Oh yeah, no, spring.

Sorry, them. In April, we were going into winter. Do you think it's because people couldn't come around and sort out their Netflix? And like, so they couldn't figure it out. I'm about to bugger it. I'm going for a walk. Yeah. The technology was stuffed.

90% of what my mum does is out of frustration. Yeah. No, I'll do it myself. No, I'm going to do it. Your parents are good with Netflix because you set it up. No, they're not. Apparently, it doesn't work at the moment. So they just haven't watched it.

But I couldn't see like over 65 sitting down for like a two o'clock Netflix. No. No way. What a waste of the day. Television's a night time activity. Well they've just watched the first 20 minutes of the one o'clock press conference

so now they've got to get outside and do something because they'll feel like they're wasting their day sitting down in the middle of the day to watch television. What a bloody stupid idea. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan
