The ZM Podcast Network. Clay. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to Mick Cafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru and Mick delivery at level 3 and also dine-in at level 2. Great news for those Kiwis living overseas that listen to the podcast. Because apparently, any moment a decision from the government on MIQ is imminent, meaning that Kiwis could come home and not have to do MIQ.

Yeah. Isolate at home or less. I'm sure at this stage of the details just that it's happening. I'd say that there'll be a few covenants. Is that what you call? Like little rules. Yeah, a few little. A few landmarks to get past first.

And then we'll be, you know, maybe heading towards that. Yeah, it'd be great. Just get home. Just get home. What do you mean? Well, you don't want to dilly-dally. If you need to get home, this is your chance. Oh, right, to get home.

Yeah. Yeah, I wonder what they do with people who have been, like, delaying. Oh, I suppose you've still got to get flights, don't you? Well, yeah. I don't think it'll be until the new year. Do you reckon? We haven't had 90% double dosed yet. There's all these things that are going to happen when it's 90% double dosed.

Yeah. And do you reckon you'll have to be double vaccinated to come home? Oh, yeah. Not isolate. Yeah. I reckon. Yeah. But see, the problem is by the time people hear this, they've probably already announced to come home? Not isolate. I reckon. The problem is by the time people hear this they've probably already announced it.

Where? Now? Yeah. When are they announcing it? Today. Later. In a few hours. You probably already know anyway. Then we should have all taken a different approach.

Yeah. And then producer Jared could just edit out which one was wrong. Oh, yeah, yeah. So what we should have done is be like. Yeah. We've done this at Have You Been Paying Attention Before? Have you? And the first time it happened, I was like, this is really, this is naughty.

What was it for? There was a question about the All Whites. Oh, yeah. Oh, so if they lost or won. Like What was it for? There was a question About the All Whites Oh yeah Oh so if they lost Or won So the question is This week the All Whites Played against

Bahrain or something Yeah It was a good win For the team Yeah Something about the All Whites And then So take again

All Whites played Bahrain Yeah Unfortunately couldn't Secure the victory Yeah Here's the same question About the All Whites

That wasn't dependent On them Right And draw Against same question about the All Whites That wasn't dependent on them And draw against Barrow-Rain for the All Whites Did all three Wow and then they just put in the right one And then when they're editing The All Whites game was happening overnight So when they're editing the next day They just put in the one that was

You fucking liars The media's just They're all in on it man They's just rolling on it, man. They're rolling on it, man. Changing these big things. So yeah, okay, let's do this now. Well, the government's made an announcement

about MIQ. It's going to be in place for the foreseeable future, maybe up to five years. You'll have to stay in hotels. That's not even an option anyway. I'm giving like three vastly different options. So I'm going to

go with the one where they've said this is forever. Well, shall I do one? Alright, the government's announced only cute people can return to the country. Oh, that doesn't affect us. We'll get in and out. We're already here.

We can go and come back however we want. They'll probably just ask me to leave so I can come back. Just so they can have someone cute on the news. Yeah, exactly. And here's our first person who's skipping MIQ because they're cute. Yeah, Vaude Smith. He's a real cutie. Hi, everybody.

And people will undeniably agree. Yeah. Vaude Smith. He's a real cutie. He's a cutie. Hi, everybody. And people will undeniably agree. Yeah. And then your option. The government has announced that only people bringing in a present. Like a Toblerone from Duty Free? Yes. For New Zealand are allowed to come in. Into some sort of government coffers, eh?

Yeah. And then distribute it. And then tax rebate. You're bringing in a piece of Toblerone. I'd be happy with that. I would at the end of the year, instead of a tax rebate, you just get a Toblerone. I'd be happy with that. I would be. Oh, guys, I just got my tax return. It's four triangles of Toblerone.

Four? Shit. And fruit and nut. Oh, no, the white one. No, fruit and nut is the unsung hero of the Toblerone family. Really? Absolutely. Unsung.

What a fruit and nut. You can never go wrong with a bit of fruit and nut. That's it. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleeche Vaughan and Megan. Wednesday morning, four minutes past eight.

We have the top six on the way. Yeah, a baby was born in a New World car park. So I've got the top six names for the baby. Baby. Born in a New World car park. Also coming up, money on the show today. More of it to give away. Secret Sound,

all thanks to Neon. Chances at seven and eight this morning. And just before nine, another chance, all thanks to Warehouse Mobile to win $500 cash. But right now,

we have a big announcement. Zayn presents 660. 660. And 660 Saturdays are back for 2022. Did you have to think about that? I had to think about what year. 2022. Only if you all get vaccinated. Yeah, well, huge gatherings like this will need the vaccination certificate. The 660 Saturdays Stadium Tour is hitting up Rotorua, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Napier and Auckland. Their biggest tour ever.

So every single venue is a stadium. So absolutely huge. Now, tickets go on sale Monday, the 8th of November at midday. So that's not this coming Monday, but the following Monday. All those details will be at ZM Online. But yeah, the big venues all around the country. Yeah, so starting in March and going through April, Rotorua International Stadium, Forsyth Bar Stadium,

Orange Theory Stadium, Sky Stadium, McLean Park, and Eden Park. Eden Park again. Yeah, huge gigs. This morning at... Why does anybody tell Helen Clark?

Just drop a wee note in the box. She'll be livid. They've said that they're allowed some big Eden Park concerts every year, but I know...

They're trying to invite her. Maybe she just feels left out. Well, either way, she's going to have a sleepless night. Sorry, Auntie Helen. In 2022. Now we have the very first tickets to give away right now, a double pass. If you would like

the very first 660 Saturday Stadium double pass, 0800 Dials at M. Right now you can choose either any of those venues. And at 10 to 8 this morning, Machu from 660, who sang the anthem at the All Blacks USA game at the weekend. Yeah, he's in America. Joins us from America to chat ahead of 660 Saturdays.

Next on the show. The most, possibly the most millennial thing ever. ZDM's Fletchbond and Megan. A story from America that a hiker got lost. Now, the hiker was lost for over 24 hours. Okay. Somebody who knew that they were out hiking was worried about them. They hadn't turned up at their car. Yeah.

So they reported them lost to the Lake County Search and Rescue. Okay. Now, they said this is, they were due to be back at this time and I've tried and the Lake Valley, the Lake County Search and Rescue said, I will try their phone. Because this person had tried their phone

but when this person who knew them had tried they were out of coverage. Right. Well, this sounds ominous. It sounds bad news. Lake County said, leave it to us. Okay. They started calling this person and it would ring and no answer. The person now eventually wandered out.

They said they were lost. Right. But when the sun came back up, they kind of went to the highest peak. Yeah. That's when they started getting reception. Right. And they could from there to the highest peak. That's when they started getting reception and they could from there navigate their way out.

It turns out, didn't answer the phone when Lake County Search and Rescue were calling because they didn't recognise the number and they didn't want to speak to a stranger. Which sounds like me. That is the most millennial thing ever. That is you, Megan.

Except I wouldn't be on a hike. Except, yeah, and you don't answer your phone even to us. Yeah. I wonder if when it was ringing, they were looking at it being like, remember this number, remember this number. 745- Okay, they stopped calling. I'll Google who that was.

They Google that. No results. I've definitely done that. And then it's like some business that you're doing, you know, that's calling you back about an appointment. You're like, oh, I'll just call them that. And then it's like some business that you're doing, you know, that's calling you back about an appointment. You're like, oh, I'll just call them back. No, I have to call them back. What do I wait for them to call me back again?

Yeah. And then they do and then you freak out because you can't remember if that's the right number or not. Yeah. Yeah, so they said they didn't answer because they didn't, they didn't recognise the number. One notable takeaway is that you should always answer your phone while out hiking.

This is from Lake County Search and Rescue. If you're overdue according to your itinerary and you start getting repeated calls from an unknown number, please answer the phone. It may be a search and rescue team trying to confirm you're safe. Wow. You'd feel pretty stupid, right? Yeah.

I'd look at the phone and be like, not now. I'm like out hiking. If they keep calling you, you're going to answer, right? Oh, yeah. And you're also, you're lost. Wouldn't you think, oh, someone's looking for me? Yeah. That is a rule of mine.

If they're insistent about it, then I'll answer. Second, third, fourth, when do you? Probably third. Because those people that call up from wherever they're calling from and they've got their scams and their automated voice, they only call once, eh? They never bother you again. Nah.

And you don't call them back because they don't cost you money. Randomly at the weekend my husband's like, I know what, I've found a clever hack on what to do if you're ever out hiking or somewhere and your phone's starting to go flat. Oh, I saw that too. Yeah. You change your voicemail. You change your voicemail

and put your last known location and say, yes, I am lost. My phone's gone flat. This is my last known location. And I was like, sweetheart, I'm never going hiking again. I don't even know how to change my voicemail. He was maybe thinking if you were at the shops

and your phone's starting to go flat. Hi, this is Megan. My battery's about to go flat. I'm at St Luke's. Aisle 9, Kmart. I'm from here. I'm possibly heading to Farmer's. Could possibly go to the food court.

Not yet sure what I'll get. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. There is a new dating app that's been made for Malbornians. Malbornians? Yeah. Malbornians. Malbornians. I Malbornians. Malbornians? Yeah. Malburnians. Malburnians. I think they called them Malburnians.

Yeah. So they're the most locked down city in the world. That's right, eh? Yeah. 263 days. They got a little bit of freedom at the weekend, but I think I was talking to a friend yesterday, and he said they were out end of November.

Right. So there's a new dating app, or it's a going on dates app. It's called Boop. And boop, boop. I like that. You know when you give someone a little boop on the nose? Boop on the nose, boop. Give a floof a boop.

So basically you can go on Boop and if you swap messages and match with someone and then decide to go on a date through Boop, and if you swap messages and match with someone and then decide to go on a date through Boop, you get discounts on meals and drinks if you pick one of the venues. So there's a whole bunch of bars and restaurants, 36 that have joined Boop, and if you choose to go on your date through that, you get, like, vouchers. That's a clever idea.

That's a good idea because that's the thing, if you end up matching with someone in your chat and you're like, let's go on a date, then you're like, oh, where do we go? Yeah. And then now at least this is like giving you some ideas. And obviously they want people to go out and spend some money at hospitality joints rather than go for a walk in a park or whatever. And I guess if you're both using this app,

you both love a discount code and a voucher, right? Yeah. So you're not going to be going out with someone who doesn't like, I don't know, like a two-for-one drink special. Yeah. Or a meal. It gives it something extra to talk about. Who doesn't love a two-for-one drink special?

Well, I know. I'm just thinking, like, would that be an issue for some people? You know, like First Table? Love a bit of First Table. Yeah. Where, you know, you get in and you go earlier. But would that be like a real... It's got a dinner date at 4.30.

Nah, you've signed up for the boot. Yeah, so you've both agreed that, like, you're going to get a discount. You're going to get a voucher. But do you think if you're trying to impress someone, like using a First Table or something like this, like a meal voucher special, is that saying you're a tight arse cheapo?

If you don't tell them about it, if like they don't know about it beforehand and you, they're like, come for dinner at 4.30 and then you figure out why. Yeah, I've got a work thing at 7, so I've got to have dinner at 4. And then like when you get there, you're like, oh yeah, we're just here with first table. No, you don't say that out loud. Give the waiter a F2. You go up and pay, pretend to, like I've this, and go up alone and then present your voucher. Yeah, right.

Just don't let them know about it. Because otherwise, yeah, you do seem a bit cheap. If you didn't tell them about it and you were getting like pretty much half price, you'd just say, I've got yours, and they'll think you've paid for the whole thing. Yeah. A great idea, actually. That is. That's a great idea.

Yeah. But then, obviously, they'd probably chuck you a bit of cash if you've paid for all of it. And then you tell them the full price. They pay you half, but that turns out to be whole. So you're making money. You're making money. Yeah, and then there's no second date.

Wow. You've made money and you're not hungry. Yeah. That's a win-win to me. Boom, you might get a smooch too. CDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Well, you two are parents, obviously. Correct.

There's been a study done and they asked parents about their lifelong dreams, their passions, and if they'd achieve them. And 44% of parents... This is why I say you shouldn't set goals because you're just setting yourself up for disappointment and failure and you could throw really hard. But sometimes something out of your control could cost you your goal.

And then everybody's just disappointed. You just don't try. That's your key to life. Don't try and never fail. Under promise, over deliver. Yeah. Happily, happily like just fluke your way through life. Well, apparently, according to parents, this study found 44% of parents

plan to return to uni to learn something completely new and over half believe that more education could refresh their perspective on life. And yeah, they basically just want to chase their dreams. But because of families and finances, they haven't had a chance to do that. Well, some people's dreams is to have a family.

So, I mean, dreams are different depending on, you know. Have you chased all your dreams? Um, nah. I don't want to tell you my dream. Well, now I need to know. It's probably one that I'll never do, but I'm like, one day, maybe I'll do it when I'm

like, really old. But I think you're not going to be an astronaut. You have to be realistic. Everest. No. Oh, I almost swore. No, I'm not climbing up Everest. No, you're not doing Everest.

No, you're not. I mean, own a Ford Everest. Because she won't even go to a dock hut an hour's walk away. And that's very cold. And rats, I would say. Not Everest. No, not Everest. Too cold for rats. Everest.. Not in Everest. No, not up Everest. Too cold for rats.

In Everest. Mind you, lots for them to eat up there. Mostly humans and ski suits, but they could definitely have a num num. What? Tell us your lifelong dream. Because I've known you forever and I don't know your lifelong dream. Nah, I don't know if I... Nah.

Because I don't want you to brag on me. You're not going to take the piss, are you? When she tells us her lifelong dream. You're already smirking. Oh, I am only because he was smirking. Exactly. I was only smirking because you were smirking. It was a perpetual smirking machine.

I might do it when I'm like retired and grey. Okay, well, what is your lifelong dream? No. You've run a cafe. You want to open up something? I want to own a tractor. I want... I just thought of that.

That's just off the top of my head. That's a stupid... That's not a lifelong dream. That's just like what you want to buy at the moment. It's different. Yeah. And also you don't need a tractor. You live on like a farm.

I see little cute little tractors all the time and I'm like, imagine me... Cutting around a little tractor. Well, Vaughn Shed, what's your lifelong dream? That's not a lifelong dream. That was just what he wants to buy. Please don't besmirch my God. A little tractor. Well, Vaughn Shed, what's your lifelong dream? That's not a lifelong dream. It was just what he wants to buy. Please don't besmirch my dreams, bro. Undermining them and saying they're not lifelong dreams. I just would like to design my own line of shoes one day.

Well, that's not silly. That's not silly. Because you can do that and then get them made in Bangladesh cheap. So cheap. And then turn around. How are you with being able to ignore workers' rights? Possible human rights violations. Oh, yeah.

No, I'm not going for that. She's on board. She's on board. No, she's on board. She's like, no, no, I don't care about them. Would you rather mark up the shoes like 500% or 100%? This is a trick question. Yeah, so you want to make the money, don't you?

Well, I mean, no, I'm going to get them for free because I'm making them, so I'll mark them up. Okay. Well, why don't you just start a shoe line? Because it sounds like a lot of work. I reckon it probably is. Yeah. So there's that thing where you've got a lifelong dream,

but also CBF at the same time. Yeah. But then also quite confronting if you make these shoes and then the only one that stocks them is like number one shoe warehouse. Nah, they move some units, mate. I wouldn't scoff at number one shoe warehouse.

Yeah, but Megan wants like a boutique shop, a new market or like, you know, in a mall. Yeah, and then you make them and no one buys them. You're a bit tacky for that. Don't besmirch my dream! I'm not, one buys them. You're a bit tacky for that. Don't besmirch my dream! I'm not, no, no. You're just besmirching my character. You besmirch my tractor.

There's a teacher for besmirching my tractor. Lots of besmirchment. From the underground ZM Think Tank, this is the Top 6. Hi there! A baby was born on Labor Day in a New World

Rollison car park. Pat and his wife Mal were fanging it. His words. To the to try to get to the hospital. The birthing unit. Yeah.

What do they say? Hairdressers are never allowed to talk about religion. Your butthole. Money, yeah, buttholes is one of them. That's island. I like to get buttholes on the table early. No, you don't. Everyone knows that you don't talk about that in religion and politics.

Politics. Money. Yeah. If you pick your nose and eat it, like save that, I reckon, for later on. Yeah, that's at least a third date, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. So apparently.

Where your latest stool fell on the Bristol stool chart. Around a bit of fours What you're aiming for Classy stuff People would rather talk about politics Than money on a date And Yeah that's fair enough I guess But like

I just feel like the one's going to cause so much more of an argument But who's bringing up Money Either of those. You mean on a date? Or just in society. Like if you're, I mean at Christmas, if someone's bringing up like how much you earn.

One of my aunties asked how much I earn once. I was like, excuse me, I don't think we should talk about that. Yeah. It's very weird. What did this auntie do? Rather not disclose. Wait, so where was it coming from? Did she want to say I earn more than you or did she want to say,

oh my God, I can't believe you even get paid full stop? I was probably complaining and so she wanted to know and then she said, that's all right, isn't it? But I was like, I lowly paid into it. And I was like, excuse me. But yeah, it always ends up in arguments. But so does politics, I would have thought. But people would rather talk about politics, relationships, health, and their career than they would talking about anything financial.

Oh, God. All these painful conversations are coming up because it's Christmas soon. Even just like talking about vaccinations or anything. Yeah, how? That's going to be a big, like, even just a pre-Christmas thing, because there'll be some families that are like, you're not coming if you're not.

Yeah, because your friends you choose, right? But your family, they could stand anywhere on the spectrum of COVID and you don't know until you come together at Christmas. You choose your friends and you emancipate your family. That's the old saying, eh? ZM's Fleshborn and Megan.

Play ZM. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. It's all thanks to Neon. Watch the TV series and movies everybody's talking about on Neon. Our favourite Kiwi streaming service. Joining us this morning for a guest is Melissa. Good morning, Melissa.

Hello. All right, so you've finally managed to get through. Oh, my gosh, finally. I've rung so many times. And is this guest that you're going to give us, is this the one you've been thinking from the start? It is, but there's actually like four that I've been thinking from the start,

so I actually really don't know which one to guess. Because you can make the clues fit with pretty much anything if you try. It's true. Well, I don't want it to be too easy, Melissa. Well, it depends how crazy you go, you know? So I've gone pretty crazy. Well, yeah, people do go deep down the clue rabbit holes, don't they?

Melissa, Soundkeeper Owls joins us. For $20,000 cash, what is this secret sound? Okay, fingers crossed. It's a toilet flush without water, like pushing a toilet flush button with no water. Oh, yeah. I can dig it. Yeah, that really works, doesn't it?

Yeah. Click it, click it. Yeah, it does. Fingers crossed. Okay, well, soundkeeper owls. Hello, Melissa. Hello. Have you tried this yourself at home?

Have you taken all the water out of your toilet? I'm curious. No, but I've just been half-pushing it, and then I've gone around all the public toilets as well in the area to check in. Ooh, yuck. I hope you washed your hands. Do you hand sanitize? Are you in Auckland as well?

I hope not. Yeah, I am, but don't worry. I've been sanitizing and being safe. Are you in Auckland as well? I hope not. Yeah, I am, but don't worry. I've been sanitising and being safe. That is funny. All right. Well, Melissa, $20,000 is a lot of money. And that is not the secret sound.

Lucky you got those three other guesses. You can call up again. All those toilets, man. We've ruled it out now. Yeah, yeah. Well, you've done great work. You've ruled it out. That would have been people's guess, some people's guess. Well, 8 o'clock is the next shot at ZM's $50,000 secret sound.

All thanks to Neon. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. So Travis Barker is adding another tattoo to his collection. I couldn't tell you how many. I mean. He's very tattered. Very tattered. So I don't think this is too much of a big deal for him.

But he had on his inside like bicep. He had, I can't see what it was, but it was dedicated, a big tattoo dedicated to his ex, Shana Mokler. And he's had that covered up with a huge black scorpion, which, I mean, that could say something about her, but it also could be something to do with that he's a Scorpio. And then he got Kourtney Kardashian's lips. So she kissed a bit of paper and he got that tattooed on as well to cover up the old tattoo.

So the ex's tattoo's gone, covered with a scorpion. And the new partner's lips. Right. Yeah. What was the old tattoo of? I can't tell. But it wasn't like a name. No.

It was just something. It was a picture that was dedicated. Right to her. Yeah. It's not the only one. So he's got Courtney written across his chest now, dedicated to Courtney Kardashian. Yeah. It's not the only one. So he's got Courtney written across his chest now. Dedicated to Courtney Kardashian.

She's also written I love you in her handwriting on him. And then you're so cool is another one she wrote on him. God, he's like a whiteboard. I don't know if he has... That you wrote on with permanent marker. I don't know if he has much free space because even when he had Courtney tattooed on him,

it was over top of other things. That's over an existing tattoo. Some of those are terrible tattoos. Well, it's not your taste. It's like the guy in Prison Break. He does look like the guy in Prison Break. Yeah. So, I mean, if they break up,

if he's got a few to cover up. But again, I don't think it matters too much to him because he's covered already. Yeah cover up. But again, I don't think it matters too much to him because he's covered already. Yeah. Would like to know though, have you ever had to have a tattoo covered up? Oh, yeah. Because it wouldn't just be relationships,

it would be friendships. Best friends, yes. Best friend tattoos. What about just tacky ass tattoos that you got as a 16 year old and then when you were in your 20s you were like, ooh. Wasn't that TV show where they get new tattoos, three artists and you decide which artist's picture you like better?

I didn't know. I don't know about that show. To cover up your old tacky. And some of them are like, they get drunk and they've gotten a really horrific tattoo. Some of them are blurred out and you don't even get to see what it was. I remember being in Thailand and people would wake up the next day and be like, oh, what have I done? And you'd just be like, what have you done?

Because they look terrible. Yeah, that was a great TV show. But yeah, have you ever had to get a tattoo covered up? Why? What was it? Let's take some calls. That TV show that you talked about just before. Oh, the tattoo one. The Tattoo Fixer Upper is

called Tattoo Fixers and apparently they did it on the show called Ink Masters as well. Ink Masters might be the one I've seen. A show where you'd go with your tattoo and then three tattoo artists would tell you how they'd cover it up with whatever design you were kind of like into. And you choose which one you like.

And then a... Good idea. I'd watch that. So Travis Barker has had an ex's tattoo covered up. With a massive scorpion and Kourtney Kardashian's kiss, lips, kissed on a bit of paper. So why have you had to get a tattoo... Or get it covered up or removed. Covered up or removed. Some of these stories.

We could totally do the New Zealand version of that show. Really? That'd be cool. Because it's not just exes, it's friendships that sour. It's just different times of life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What you thought was cool when you were young

is not necessarily what you thought was cool. Some messages and some replies on Instagram. I'm waiting to cover it up, but basically 18-year-old me got live, love, laugh. Live, laugh, laugh. See, if you just got those block letters for your bedroom, you can chuck them away now. Maybe repaint, replaster it worse.

Nikki, what did you get that you wiped and removed or covered up? That's not me. It's actually, I was on a date with someone a couple of months ago and he was wearing this high neck top and I saw a tattoo on his chest. And I was like, yeah, you brought a tattoo. Is there a cool story or anything? And he showed me and it was a

Toyota logo and slogan tattooed on his chest. A Toyota? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, you must love the company that much. He's like, actually, no, I was at work, we got drunk, and my colleagues were like, hey, we dare you to get a tattoo. And I was like, oh my God, where is the story going? And he said yes, and so they went

and got a tattoo done. And I was like, oh my God. And I was like, hey, you know you can get those removed? He's like, I didn't even know that. So, oh my God, it was ridiculous. I did not see him after that date. I was like, sorry, mate, this was like, I didn't even know that. So, oh my God, it was ridiculous. But yeah, I did not see him after that date. I was like, sorry, mate, this is like... So he was just going to live in high-necked

like turtlenecks for the rest of his life? For the rest of his life, yeah. He just didn't, like, he was like, you know, I thought it would be like a great story because I have a tattoo of four prints on my arm for my dog. Yeah. So I always like assume people have a great story too and I guess the story is cool.

It was a great story. Maybe not for him, but for everybody else. A Toyota logo. Get that lasered off. Nicky, thanks for your call. A Japanese love symbol because the love I got for it was a lying sack of SHIT.

I had to cover up the bird on my finger when I was working at Disneyland. It stood for flipping the bird. Oh, okay. I had a bird on my finger. You can't have that at Disneyland. I had a tattoo that was an elvish. That's not elvish Presley. Oh, yeah.

That's elvish the language from Lord of the Rings. Yeah. I liked it, but everybody made fun of it. Aw. Wait, so they got it covered up? Mm. It's your body. Shut up, Vaughn.

It's your body. I got my ex-husband's initials tattooed on my ring finger, then he cheated on me in Thailand with one of the ping pong ladies. So. This text message, I have dirty Mike and the boys on my arse Three of us got it from a stag do My father-in-law's name is Mike So is Mike Dirty Mike

Or just as a coincidence That Dirty Mike and this man's father-in-law Oh my god Dirty Mike and the boys I hope it wasn't on the stag do And that was the name they came up with I hope it's just a random Mike Dirty Mike and the boys On his arse Three of them from a stag do and that was the name they came up with. I hope it's just a random mic. Dirty Mike and the boys!

On his ass. Three of them from a stag do. The others don't know. You've got a responsibility when you're a tattoo artist and someone comes in drunk on a stag do. Not to do that. You don't need the money that bad. Come on. I didn't think you were allowed to if you were too drunk. The others don't know but I've had a couple of treatments to remove

it because I hate it. Yes, good. But what about Dirty Mike and the other boys? But like, what do they, do they get together for a reunion and show each other their asses? That's the thing, like. Dirty Mike. And they all have to touch their own bare asses together. Yeah, right.

Dirty Mike and the boys. Lads. Oh, the stag's father-in-law is Mike. So Dirty Mike might have been on the. Oh, okay. Well, it sounds like he's trying to take over the stag do. Yeah. It sounds like he's trying to see everyone's ass, to be honest.

Oh, Dirty Mike and the boys is out of a movie. Oh, right. Okay. What's Dirty Mike? I still want to Google it, but I don't want to. Because I feel like it could be a really... Oh, it's from the other guys. It's from the other guys.

Oh, okay. That's all right. No, it's not all right. That doesn't make it all right. No, no, no. I just meant like what movie it was from. Could have been a far worse movie. Yeah.

I got a barcode on my boob. Thinking you could swipe it at pack and save. What were you hoping was going to pop up? When at the start of The Simpsons, Maggie Simpson gets scanned and everyone always pauses to try to work out how much Maggie Simpson costs. Is that what you were hoping? You could just scan your your nungas and it'd be like

pop me a barcode for something like really what would you do? Like something really expensive. Something that you buy all the time. Bananas. Bananas or a bottle of milk. A PLU code. Yeah. So get the barcode for milk on your boob.

Milk. That's funny. Yeah. Oh, no. Or melon. A watermelon. On your boob. Yeah. I got a tattoo of a rhino's head covered up by a picture of. On your boob. I got a tattoo of a rhino's head

covered up by a picture of my wife's boobs. Oh, yeah. Oh, wait. They converted the rhino into boobs. Are you sure you don't mean they converted the boobs into a rhino? Because that would be easier. I got a tattoo of a rhino's head covered up

by a picture of my wife's boobs. Oh, okay. I kind of need to see it. I need to know how that happened. Yeah, because I can imagine it the other way, but not that way. So now what? Because where does the horn go? Your boobs have got horns, yeah.

Where does the horn go? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's boobs with horns. Or those little cute little ears. Yeah, sure. So you'd hope there'd be some sort of texture change. Yeah. I don't know if that's your wife's breasts,

but if they had rhino skin, they'd be quite leathery. Very interesting. Oh, I have a barcode on my arm that if you scan it at countdown, it's Cadbury Coco. I must see a video of that in action. I require you to send me a video of that work.

Please. Because there was barcode tattoos were massive. It kind of kicked off after Dark Angel, which was an early TV show with Jessica Alba. People got them on there. They engineered and they scanned them. Yeah, people started getting the barcodes on their necks. Okay, I need to see you go to a supermarket

and scan in as Cadbury Coco. Yes, please. That would just absolutely make my day. That would be great. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Okay, this is confronting, and this is a study out of Australia, and it has found that with 18 to 34-year-olds,

99% of them have experienced a visual hangover, deep regret with posts and stories that they've put on Instagram or social media the night before. And 48% of them have deleted content when they've woken up. I've never deleted. No, I've never done that. I've deleted it like 10 years later. Well, that just means you're a slow lunar.

I wasn't even drunk when I uploaded some of that stuff. But, yeah, it's interesting because do you ever notice people say they've uploaded something the night before and then the next day it's gone? Yeah. I've noticed that quite a bit. Yeah. But, yeah, 48% of people end up deleting it. But, yeah, 99% regret it. Also, when it comes to people that are watching the footage, 63% of people have admitted to skipping their friends' intoxicated

drunk post. Oh, if it's going on for too long. Yeah, or you just tap through. You just like, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Or swipe. Also, concert footage. You all love being at the concert. Yeah, I've done that. You love putting up

like, you know, 10 stories or 20 stories of every song. Yeah. 43% of people surveyed say footage from a concert is the worst video content to watch. Yeah. And they'll skip through it. They could not care less. You're like, everyone wishes they were here.

And that's the thing. The audio is never great, is it? Yeah. I always put my thumb over the bottom and it muffles it out a little bit. Oh, that does a bit better. But then that just muffles it great, is it? Yeah. I always put my thumb over the bottom and it muffles it out a little bit. Oh, that does it a bit better. But then that just muffles it, doesn't it? But also, it seems like one of those things

at the time you want to share with everybody, but you've just learned from that that people don't care. And you'll never watch that footage again. No. No, that's true. You won't. Take a photo of you there.

Yep. You know, maybe that's a nice little memory, but otherwise, just live in the moment. Live in the moment. that's a nice little memory, but otherwise just live in the moment. Live in the moment. Put your phone down. Look your phone down. Live in the moment. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.

I don't want you to shoot the messenger, okay? But this has been published in the Evolutionary Psychological Science Journal. Something like that. Are you getting ready to shoot the messenger? Watch out. Whenever the messenger says don't shoot the messenger, you know it's going to be. Don't shoot the messenger,

and I've got some bad news for you guys. This does not sound good. Women were shown pictures of men with or without hair and then asked to rate them and what they think their personality would be like. What their personality would be like. Yeah. So women who were shown a bald white man

compared with those who saw the same man with a full head of hair predicted he would be less successful, less friendly. You ghastly wench. And less enthusiastic in life. I'll give them that. My enthusiasm for life has waned somewhat. Do you think that it is like when you are bald I'll give them that. My enthusiasm for life has waned somewhat. Do you think that it is like when you are bald and your hair's all shaved,

you do look a bit more scarier than someone with hair? Do you think that is intimidating to people? Maybe. I don't know. Is that because of skinheads? Yeah, guys have bloody skinheads. Maybe, yeah. Because bald black men were judged to be no less attractive than if they had hair.

This is very rude. It is kind of rude because like, I mean, not that I'm going to stand up for like white guys because you've had it too good for too long. But if you, some of the advertising and stuff around bald men is very rude and it preys on terrible insecurities. It's wild because balding is written into the genetic code. There's nothing you can do.

Not really. So if you think about other things that you can't help happens to you when you get older, if there were ads that are like, oh, no, you're balding. But if it was anything else, like imagine an ad that's like, hey fatty, have you looked in a mirror lately, jiggle guts? And saying that just because you lose your hair, like, oh, that's you over, you're not unattractive now, which we know is not true because I'm sure there's been other studies

that said. Well, there's a line around the block for me. I was thinking more like Jason Statham. Thank you. People do say this. Very similar. You and Jason Statham. I don't know why I'm standing up.

Your ego's well intact. Me and Statham. Yeah. But they did say It is a little worrying How white men are perceived When they lose their hair Oh we'll be alright

I'm sure we'll Continue to be CEOs And stuff Don't worry too much About white guys Yeah They'll be okay You had your moment

I want that noted down That I defended you for We had our moment We've had about noted down that I defended you for... We had our moment. We've had about four or five hundred years of it already. ZM, Splashbourne and Megan. Well, we've announced it this morning and it's back. The 660 Saturdays Tour and huge venues, all stadiums.

Rotorua, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Napier and Auckland. You can find all the details at ZM online. Tickets on sale not this Monday, but the next Monday. That's the 8th of November. And joining us on Zoom right now is Matu from 660. Good morning. Oh, killed it, killed it. Whereabouts are you guys at the moment?

Because you're travelling. Luckily, you've escaped. Yeah, we managed to get out just in time. I'm in LA. Some of the boys are in quarantine right now back home. Right. And you got to be at the All Blacks game at the weekend. Yeah, I did. Sang the

anthem. Was that just unreal? It was pretty cool to see the All Blacks in America. I'd never been to DC before so that was pretty cool. Were there lots of All Blacks fans? American All Blacks fans? There were a lot of All Black jerseys, a lot of All Black fans. I think they were mostly just rugby fans.

They were kind of cheering both teams i couldn't tell if they were kiwis they just had all black jerseys yeah yeah wow guess the old saying rugby was the winner on the day actually that's really changed when they were up at like half time were you going were you like can i have a go at playing rugby because then you could have been a camp for all black and like they were already winning what could possibly have gone wrong? Believe it or not, I actually asked them that a few months ago when I knew they were coming to the States. I was like, just get me on.

Yeah. What position would you have played? I don't know. It's hard now. Maybe just put me at number eight or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, middle because I'd be the same. Not fast enough for the backs, but also it looks really ouchy. Is there somewhere in the middle

where I don't have to run much and people won't tackle? Yeah. Drinks. Yeah, that's a good call. Water girl. Run on the drinks. So is that why you're not back in MIQ then and the rest of the lads are? You stayed on for the anthem or other projects

in the mix over there? Yeah, we're just working on some new music. It was, you know, I could go home and sit two weeks in quarantine or I could just kind of sit here with my family. I've got my young daughter here. I don't really want to have the two weeks in there with her. It was one or the other. It was one or the other. But at the moment, I'm not going to be able to get home until February,

so I'm here for a while. Oh, wow, okay. So you do have an MIQ spot booked? In February, I do. Yeah, in February you do. I was just thinking if you were like, oh, I might just see what happens. You're like zooming into all your concerts.

All the rest of the guys are like performing live and you're over Zoom and you get to a bit of bad internet and it's like... So what can we expect from 660 Saturdays this round? Because you guys always put on an epic show, always a little surprise or two. Yeah, well, I guess a little bit the same

with it's become our tradition to be performing these big shows over summer. And we just want to do it bigger and better. There's a few firsts on this tour that we're really excited about. We're going to Rotorua for the first time. I feel like that's going to be quite a highlight. It's going to be epic.

We're going to be in Napier playing the first ever show at McLean Park. That's going to be epic. Oh, wow. Okay. What I'm told is the first ever nationwide stadium tour, which is going to be cool because in previous years, you kind of had to scale depending on the venue you were at. So, you know, this time what we would do at Eden Park,

we get to take on the road and give that style of show in every venue so that's going to be cool. Those old cricket boys will be watching to make sure you don't make a mess of their hello turf at McLean Park. So, doing these stadiums, we have to deal with these bloody groundsmen all the time.

They're passionate. Grass is their passion. You don't want to be playing a cricket game and there's a vodka cruiser stain on the pitch. Very distracting. Well, all the ticket info you can find at ZM Online. Machu from 660, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Yeah, always a pleasure.

Thanks, guys. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Play ZM. ZM's $50,000 Secret Sound. Season 10. It's all thanks to Neon Watch TV series and movies hand-picked for Kiwis by Kiwis on Neon. Ainsley, good morning.

Good morning. All right, Ainsley, this is the secret sound, the sound that could win you $20,000 of the current jackpot. Yeah. All right, we know all the guesses, all the things it's not, but for $20,000, what do you think it is? Well, my husband, this is my husband's guess, so hopefully we're right. Wait, wait, do you have a different one?

Yeah, I actually got through yesterday, which I'm like so lucky to get through again. I know. Do you own the phone exchanges and how things work? Do you own a 4G tel? I got through again. It's just like pure luck. She's at the place where you unplug the thing and you're like, who do you want to talk to?

It's connecting you now. I know. I was so lucky. Hacked into the 4G tower. All right. Well, Ainsley, what's your husband's guess? So he thinks it's jumping on it like the springs when you jump on a mattress. Oh, some beds are quite clunky when you jump.

But on a bed from the 1950s? Yeah, well, the clues are like 1900. Yeah, right. Okay, well, Soundkeeper Owls. Hello again, Ainsley. Hi. You're good at this. Oh, my goodness.

Patricia, you sound angry, Alice. I'm not angry. How's this woman getting through? I'm impressed. Are you pretty confident with your husband's guess, Ainsley? Well, my husband thinks he's super confident. Some of the

clothes are pretty, yeah, he matched up some of the clothes pretty well. So I'm like, well, we'll give it a go. Wow. Ainsley for the second time. That's not the secret sound. Oh, you've got closes. Now I can tease him for being wrong too.

That, okay, yes. Now it makes sense why she got through. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Now it makes sense why she got through. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I'm doing the hard work, so. Ainsley, well. No, you only just wanted to prove him wrong. There's nothing more powerful than a woman wanting to prove her partner wrong. So true.

Alright, Ainsley, another shot for everybody listening at 11 o'clock with Georgia, if you think you know what the secret sound is, coming up on the show, my wife and Ross Boss. I know. I know. And I'm airing all that dirty laundry.

No, they've both bought recently nerdy cleaning stuff and they've been having a conversation about whose nerdier cleaning thing is nerdier and cleanlier. Cleaning-er, ner. Is that what they say the conversation's about? Cleaning-er, ner. All right, we'll get into that soon. But next on the show.

Am I a bad person? This is wedding related. It so often is. The drama is between a girl and her sister. Am I a bad person? This is wedding related. It so often is. The drama is between a girl and her sister. God, I would not want to be planning a wedding at the moment. No. Like stressful time.

Yeah. Star of Pitch Perfect. I'm the best singer in Tasmania. Bridesmaids. Oh, that was prickly. And now the author of a children's book. Rebel Wilson is on today's podcast. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Am I a bad

person? Right now though, am I a bad person? Somebody's reached out. They've got a wedding coming up. Yeah. Correspondence starts with, guys, I need help. My sister is getting married next year and in a moment of stupidity I told

her she could wear my wedding dress as she loved it so much. She was looking at ridiculously similar designs. I thought she may just as well use mine. The issue is I spent $5,500 on that dress and she hasn't offered to pay a cent. She's not strapped for cash, by the way, and the rest of the wedding is shaping up to be pretty flash. She keeps talking about how stoked she is that she's saving all this money, and now I kind of feel rubbish about it. She's paying for my dress, hair, makeup, etc. as I'm a bridesmaid, but then I did the same for her when she was in my bridal party too. Am I a bad person for saying that she should chip in, or if I retract my offer? I mean, it'll just be sitting in my bridal party too. Am I a bad person for saying that she should chip in or if I retract my offer?

I mean, it'll just be sitting in my wardrobe forever, but it is the principle. Principle. Wow. Wow. I never offer things unless I sit back and think, am I willing for them? Am I okay with them saying yes? Because you've got to be okay with if they take you up on the offer. Is that unusual for someone?

I know people buy secondhand wedding dresses, and I'm all for it because let's reuse and recycle as much as we can in this world at the moment. But if you had your sister's wedding dress, your photos would be quite similar, right? Oh, good call. I hadn't thought of the photos. Very similar photos. You could have a lot of guests that are there at the

wedding and they're going to be like, oh, that's the same dress. Cross-pollination of guests. But I would have never offered. Yeah, because you're a bitch. Yeah. But I make it known to everyone. Don't expect that from me.

But she offered. And now she's organising. Yeah, it's too late. She offered. Also, what's the big deal? No takesie-backsies. This all goes in your wardrobe. You never wear it again.

You may as well chuck it out. You've gone from one extreme to the other. You may as well chuck it out. You've gone from one extreme to the other. You may as well chuck it out. Yeah. No, I'm all for it. She offered and it's too late to take it back now. She's taken away the money potentially that she was going to spend on the dress

and she may have already spent it on other things. I feel like it's too late to take it back. It's too late. You've offered. And just be a nice sister. Who cares if it's the same wedding dress? Yeah, right. When you go around to their house and you see wedding photos, you're going to be like, oh, yeah, that's my dress.

But it's not like you're going to see both the wedding photos together. No, but like family who go will be like, who wore it better? Oh, yeah, that's true. I reckon she's jealous she's going to wear it better. It's just dawned on her. It's just dawned on her. That's why she's like, I want to take it back now. Gran's going to have a couple of celebratory champers

and be like, your sister looks better in that dress than you did, porky pig. Well, you know, grans don't hold back, do they? No, they don't. Yeah. She's going to have a couple of champs. That's a pickle. It's a $5,500 dress.

It sounds like she does just want maybe like a little monetary. $500. Like. But again, she offered. You offered. You've got to stipulate the terms right off the get-go.

She'll get a dry clean before she returns it. Yeah, and you're not using that dress again. Like, why not have some more use out of it? It's a nice thing to do. Maybe not your sister, though, you know? I don't know what to do in this scenario. I feel like I can't take it back now. Well, we need to open up the phone lines and ask you what you think.

0800 DALES AT M 9696 is the text number. Is she a bad person for asking her for some money for the wedding dress or even retracting the offer of letting her wear her wedding dress? Yeah, maybe you've been in this situation before where you've offered up something and then you've been like, oh no, I need to renege now.

Take that back. I don't know why I was being so nice. Wait, wait, wait. Am I a bad person? take that back. I don't know why I was being so nice. Play my way. Am I a bad person? Thank you. So, correspondence from someone saying my sister is getting married next year and in a moment of stupidity, I told her she could wear my wedding dress.

So, it cost $5,500. She hasn't offered to pay anything and she's not strapped for cash. She says the wedding is pretty flash. But now she feels rubbish about it and she said, is she a bad person for asking her to chip in some money

or take back the offer? Ruthless. I'm saying bad sister, bad person. Bad sister, naughty sister. Rub her nose in it. I mean, it's just going to sit in the wardrobe, but it's Bad sister. Naughty sister. Rub her nose in it. I mean, it is just going to sit in the wardrobe, but it's your sister. Do you want her wearing the same dress? Paige, what do you think? Bad person

or not? Yes, she's an awful sister. Would you care if your sister if you, you know, offered your sister your wedding dress and she had the same wedding dress? I have two sisters

and I would happily give them my wedding dress in a heartbeat. What if they looked better in it? No matter how much it was worth. Pardon? Right, what if they looked way better in it than you? Well, then I'd be really happy for them. I just can't imagine being like that

towards my sister. That's awful. I think she needs a new sister. Is it difficult to have a sister? Not the one that's got it. Yeah, because... I always wonder if I had a sister if I'd be real competitive or real close. I tend to lean

towards competitive. Yeah. Yeah, you can be competitive about some things, but it's your wedding dress. This is her one special day. You've had yours. Get over it. Yeah, and you don't use your wedding dress again. It just sits there, doesn't it? But someone said, what happens when you go to your grandparents' house and they have side-by-side wedding pictures of you?

Who cares? Tell them to put an ornament of an elephant in between them to break it up. Oh, yeah, yeah. Old people love elephant and dolphin ornaments. Yeah. It's because they never saw them. That's why I reckon old people love those animals because they never saw them. Paige, thank you for your call.

Anonymous, what do you think? Bad sister or not? I don't think so. Okay, why? Well, it's my dress and it was my wedding. Yeah. And I had a sister who had one of my, I had two dresses and I didn't fit one because I just had a child.

Okay. And she wore that, and I didn't get anything from it. So, yeah. But did you not get, like, warm fuzzies because she was in your wedding dress and looked great? Not really. I'm competitive. I'm with Meg.

I'm competitive. Love it. All right, An. I'm competitive. Love it. All right, Anonymous, thank you for your call. Alyssa, what do you think? Bad person or not? Oh, I think she's mean. She's horrible. I have an older sister myself, and the worst part is we're 18 months apart.

Yeah. I honestly feel like my sister's always been like that. Right. I would give anything back to my sister. But you sort of have to persuade my sister, if you know what I mean. And I feel like my sister would be that person that would be like, yeah, you can wear it and then get sort of nasty at the end of it. Yeah.

Or closer to the time, yeah. Right. So you think your sister's more like her, but you're more like the giving sister? Yeah. Well, it goes both ways. It depends for me because I have two boys and I'm a solo mum. Yeah. But, no, I mean, if she wanted, say, like one of them chocolate sculpture thingamajiggas at her wedding.

Yum. Yeah, well, that's right. I want to hear more about the chocolate. We've lost her. When are you going to stop troubling a sculpture? She's going to make a jiggy. We've lost Alyssa, but the chocolate sculpture is absolutely delicious. Or a chocolate fountain.

There should be more of those at weddings. Yeah. Then you can just get drunk and put your tongue in it. I know. That's probably why there's not those at weddings. 100%. All right. Some more messages in.

Bad person. It's too late to renege the offer. 100%. All right, some more messages in. Bad person. It's too late to renege the offer. Yeah, I think it's too late. You could say something along the lines of, still happy for you to use the dress, but you need to pay for it to be preserved afterwards, and I want to keep it. Obviously, your sister's not going to think it's going to sit in her wardrobe, right?

No. No. I wore my wedding dress. Then my best friend wore the wedding dress and then another friend wore the same wedding dress oh wow that's a few

I kind of like that though that's kind of cute that all of you wore the yeah it's like sisterhood of the travelling wedding dress it is

Well, kind of. Because for those who don't know, he had his compound in inland Columbia farmland and he had exotic animals. He had a menagerie. Yeah. That he had all sorts of animals. You would have seen in Narcos in the Netflix show.

He had hippopotamuses, and then when he knew the gig was up and he went bush, he just told the people to open the gates. Let them out. So the hippopotamuses made their way to like a local river, and they absolutely flourished, as invasive species often do. Until now, and that was what, the 80s, 90s? Until now they've just managed to breed

and just roam Colombia. Run wild. So today's fact of the day about these hippopotamuses is because Is it hippopotami? Or hippopotamuses? I thought it was hippopotami. I think it's hippopotamuses. Hippopotamuses. The plural is preferably hippopotamuses not a hippopotamuses. I thought it was hippopotami. I think it's hippopotamuses. Hippopotam...

The plural is preferably hippopotamuses, not a hippopotami. Okay, hippopotami. Hippopotami. Hippopotamus. Hippopotami. Hippopotamus. Hippopotamuses. Yum.

Hippopotamus. Now I want a moose now. Well, today's fact of the day is they began trying to castrate the male hippopotamuses. Because then obviously they would live, but then could not breed. Future generations would not happen. However, it costs $50,000 US to castrate a hippopotamus. And a crane. Because you've got to lift them up off the ground.

Oh, is it like a mechanic, how you put it up on the hoist? Do they not just put it to sleep and roll it on its side? No, they've got to hoist it up. It's got to get underneath. It's got to be hoisted up. Good luck rolling it over. How are you going to roll it over? So why rolls over when it goes to sleep, when you tranq on it?

How much tranq would it take? Because they said the one that they, they've done a few, and the best they could get, like, costs of the vet, all the help, the drugs, everything to do it safely and humanely, cost them $50,000 US. That was the best price that they could work out per hippopotamus. It's not like they're just finding these on a farm in a fenced area. They've got to go into the jungle.

Yeah. They've got to hunt them, identify them as males, and then tranq them. They also used the crane to lift it. It almost tipped over because it was a five-ton. Oh, wow. A five-ton hippopotamus. Good Lord. And hippopotamuses are crazy dangerous. Kill more people in Africa than any other animal.

Yeah, they do. Highly territorial, super fast on land and water. They don't look it because they look like chunky little. They look like chunky monkeys. Don't they? No, they're so quick. In fact, unrelated, but I read a story at the weekend about a man in South Africa who found a hippopotamus.

Yeah. Like its mother had died or been shot or something and it was by itself. So he raised it. And at five years old, he took it for a walk and it bit his leg, paralyzed him, dragged him into the water and ate him. So. I was not expecting that ending. Yeah.

Wow. He raised it and family members and everything were like, they did say it's getting pretty big. And he was like, it's all right. It's my friend. I've raised it from like a baby. And they were like, eh, eh. I don't know.

You sound a bit like one of those people with a dog that bites someone. And then it ended up biting him and dragging him into the water, drowning him in it. I don't know. You sound a bit like one of those people with a dog that bites someone. And then it ended up biting him and dragging him into the water, drowning him and eating him. So today's fact of the day is if you want to castrate a hippopotamus, you're going to need $50,000 and a crane. Fact of the day, day, day, Tay, Tay. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Well, at the weekend, I must admit, when I saw it, I thought, I could have a play with that. Ross Boss on his Instagram put up a new toy that he'd purchased

that's like an upholstery cleaner for your couch he was cleaning his couch what's it called a bissel a bissel spot clean upholstery or

is that the same yeah that's what it looks like it was orange yeah spot clean professional carpet and upholstery shampoo no I got a steam mop

I didn't get a bissel I thought you didn't get a bissel no that's what everyone told me to get oh well but they're fancy. I just got a cheap steamer. Oh, okay.

Well, then I was like, and he was pouring out the dirty water and I was like, yuck. But satisfying. It's like a handheld thing and it like wets the couch and cleans it. It shampoos it. And then it sucks up all the water.

So it's like a rug doctor for your couch. Yeah. But it's a home one that you buy. Yeah. Why is that so satisfying to watch? It was gross, really. I know because

I'd be somewhat embarrassed to share my couch if the water was really dirty. I know because he tipped out the water and it was real yuck. Yeah. It was real dark.

But have you seen those like there's videos online, TikTok and stuff of like people that do the big rugs? Yeah. Yes, the rug guy. So it's like when someone water blasts a driveway, There's videos online, TikTok and stuff, of people that do the big rugs. Yes, the rug guy. So it's like when someone water blasts a driveway,

they're so satisfying to watch. Even on TikTok, they do those valet car cleans. I could sit there and watch that all day. Oh, where they take the seats out and everything. But some people's cars, like I've got a bit of a dirty car, but I've never lost a pack of biscuits. It's always like someone opened it up and smashed an entire bag of arrowroot biscuits somewhere. Where did that many crumbs come from?

But those videos did make me want to get one of those little handheld couch cleaner things. Also, he got the spot cleaner and then Sade has wanted for a while and purchased a Karcher window vacuum. I always see those at like Bunnings or Mitre 10. I've got one and I just never use it. So I thought she was buying it for condensation.

What is she buying it for? For cleaning the windows. Oh. Because we get quite, especially going into summer, it gets quite dusty. Yeah. And we'll get dirty windows. And anyway, she purchased that

and yesterday was sending Ross videos of her dirty water. They were having dirty water exchange. So she was cleaning her windows. I've sent Ross a video of the dirty water. I was like, I don't know if I want everyone to know how dirty our windows are. How does the window cleaner work? You spray it on and you're like...

Do you put any cleaner in it? Yeah, you've got to put some cleaner in it. It came with a sample. I know. You've obviously used it extensively. I haven't. And you spray this thing and you like wash the window. Yeah.

And then you get out the vacuum cleaner thing. And it's like a squeegee, but it's a squeegee with a sucker on it. Because you know how if you squeegee, you get to the bottom and there's just like a pool of all the dirty water. Oh, that sounds good. So,

you should get one. Again, you've got one. I'll give it a try. Give it a home. That's the worst thing about being an adult, realising no one else is going to clean your window. Like, when you're flatting,

you don't care. Nah. And then, like, who's got a vase? Yeah, when you move out of a flat and you're doing that, like, big clean and you're, like, squirting a flat and you're doing that big clean and you're squirting window frames and you're like, oh my god it's dusty and mouldy and gross and grimy.

And you run your finger in the right through the bottom of the window and it's just thick mud. You move out and it's clean and you're like, I really wish I'd lived here in this state. This place is actually quite a nice house. No wonder I was sick all through winter. They wouldn't have

any trouble finding tenants. Lovely house. Now that it's been cleaned. But yeah, so they were having a dirty water exchange and they've even like agreed to do a swapsie. Oh. But your couch is quite new. Yeah, but like cats and dogs and children.

Oh, it's very confronting. That's a great idea. Cleaning appliance swaps. Swapsies. We need to get out. Yeah, but then you also need to get out. Week 11 of Auckland lockdown. We're doing cleaning swapsies.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Australian mum has gone viral. This is something that she posted in the Australia Mum's Christmas Facebook page. Australian Mum's Christmas Facebook page. So that's a Facebook page of Christmas fanatics. Yeah, it is. Because I've joined a couple of those. What kind of stuff are you saying in yours?

Well, I just wanted to check that I've actually been accepted because I had to answer questions and stuff to get in. To a Facebook group? Yeah, Christmas enthusiasts. Are you into Christmas? Prove it. Yeah, I don't think I've been accepted. Ooh.

Yeah, well, your application's been denied. They probably think you're going to spy on them and talk about it on the radio. Well, this Australian mum, she gets the Woolworths 20 cent paper bags like you get at Countdown. And New World. And New World do the 20 cent bags as well. Yeah. So her ones, the ones at Woolworths in Australia are branded with the massive logo, whereas

the ones you get here don't have any print on them, the paper bags, right? They're plain, which is nice. So what she does is she opens them all up at the seams and unwraps them and then uses them inside out to wrap presents. And so she's saying for Christmas use all of this as brown

wrapping paper. Hot play. And then whether or not you want to add a ribbon, if you want to zhuzh it up. Would you even need to undo it at the seams? Because you not just work it inside out? Oh, if you've got a smaller size. Yeah, the one that she's shown is a smaller present, and she's just, yeah, kind of worked around and opened it up. Yeah, it's a strong,

you're not going to accidentally poke a corner through that, are you? It's a strong paper. Well, you're not going to be able to peek. Definitely not. But like when people open it, they're going to see on her ones, the Woolworths logo. Too late.

Yeah, but we're living in a time when we should be recycling and reusing. We're not all like you with our special every year having a different theme. Sexy. Oh, I can't think of any examples that you don't care about the environment. Megan, those silicon earbuds-y boys. Megan, oh, yeah. I was like, how many of these do you have? He's like, ah, of these do you have?

He's like, ah, we're the ones that try to chuck them in the bin. No, like we're up here for like two weeks, and then you can't put them in. Yeah. You hate dolphins. Megan goes and puts her finger in the hole. Excuse me. And you fingered Marco the dolphin, and then that dolphin died.

You went swimming with it, and that was like months later it died. You had a cigar in your mouth while you were swimming and you were like, here, Mokko, try the delicious tobacco of Cuba and you popped it in this blowhole and Mokko was like. I love durries now. I did not kill a dolphin. I will not have you. And then one week later washes up. I'm not saying you killed it.

It doesn't sound like that after a couple of durries. It's more like. Causation and correlation is what I'm pointing out here. Well, look, it's a great idea because these bloody paper bags pile up. So if you want to reuse them, great for Christmas. Add some ribbon. Amazing. To be fair, I have done a Christmas theme before that's required.

You know, isn't it called newsprint? The brown one? The brown paper? No. Newsprint's the white paper that they literally print newsprint. I've used craft paper. Yeah. Yeah.

It's good stuff. Give it a go. It could be done, yeah. That's a great use for those bags. Use a ribbon, though, please. No, you're not a monster. Use a ribbon. Those are wasteful for the environment.

Well, the handle could probably be a ribbon if you get the handle off. Could do. A little decorative bow. Or you just put the handles on each of your presents so when Santa's handing them out, they can pick them up. That's a great idea. That's a great idea. That's a great idea.

Hot glue on the handles on the end of the presents. Who needs a bow when you've got handles? Exactly. So Megan's a hot idea.
