Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Warner, Megan podcast. Thanks to McDonald's, your favourites are available in drive-thru and McDelivery. Is there another hiccup or was that just a wide-ranged hiccup? Yeah, you're like, and I was waiting for the next one. Yeah, it was nothing. No, it's gone. You're weird, you sneeze like a thousand times when you sneeze and you hiccup once. You've got those back to front.

No, it's because we started recording so it was like my body knew to shut it off. Your body was like, professional. We're done. And then when we're finished it'll be like, bleh, bleh, bleh.

Yeah. Oh, like a hiccup burp. Ever done a hiccup burp? Yeah, they're unattractive. Hurts the lungs. Really hurts the chest. When you've just eaten and you get the hiccups,

everything comes back up. It's because you're eating too fast. Comes back up, goes back down. Or too much hot sauce. If I go heavy-handed on the hot sauce, I start hiccuping. Like at your wedding, I went heavy-handed on that hot sauce. Didn't you steal some of that hot sauce? Yes, I did.

It was called the so fucking hot sauce. They were not lying. I was like, look here. Look here, I ain't mouth out, I'm sure a hot Ford boy. I don't know why I became Crayolcation there for a moment. You don't tell me what I'm in, boy. Are you about to be cancelled? No, no.

Where did you put that hot sauce? I still got some. No, but like to take away because you're in a suit. The same place Fletch put his sugar-free Red Bull at your wedding. His jacket. His jacket. Handbag. Oh yeah, it actually did go in Sade's, but when I got it

initially it went into the little pockets on the inside of my arm. You two are so classy. I think my suit still has a hot sauce stain on the inside. At any event, if I'm paying to be there I will get my money's worth. I'm taking some sauces. And I will take stuff at the end of the night.

It's actually been a long time since we've loaded up Sade's handbag with cutlery. There's a few radio awards. We've got some really nice cutlery. Do you remember that? That's probably why we don't have those functions anymore. That'll be one of the reasons. Was it your handbag we loaded up at the music awards one year?

Yeah. Thanks for that. I've got that really classy Steinlager drinks holder. Didn't you remember that? Wearing it as a helmet. That's right. It was like a champagne bucket for Steinlager magnums. Didn't you remember that? So wearing it as a helmet. That's right. It was like a champagne bucket for Stine Lager magnums.

Beautiful. Classy. That's why we don't get invited to places. And being told off is why I don't like going to events. I'm an adult, sir. I shan't be told off for stealing cutlery. Fantastic. Well, enjoy the podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show.letch, Fawn and Megan. The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Fawn and Megan.

Megan wearing a pilled hoodie today. It's a hoodie and ponytail day. I couldn't find a newer one. Yeah, you got a 2017 hoodie on. Yeah. You should also, on the pilling and the thing, have you had that targeted advertising for that lint thing on?

No, is it the machine that chews it up? No, no, it's not. It's like a lint roller, except it's just these little teeth. Shara got sucked it in. She bought it. Does she love it? It is pretty good. Does it get rid of pilling?

On bigger things like hoodies and stuff, it's good. I get pilling on the beanie, I still turn to the old chewer. Yeah. The old little machine that goes... And eats the pills. Isn't that just like eating the fabric? Yeah. Is it like shaving the fabric?

Yeah, pretty much. But that's what pilling is. It's fabric coming loose. So you just keep it looking as... But wouldn't it get holes in it? Wouldn't it be structurally? But the pilling's going to do that anyway. What would you rather have?

Because it's only connected by a tiny little piece of fabric. Just hoofs it off. You just pull it off. Right. Okay. Yeah, her mum said to me, I got something for you, saw this on Facebook, thought of you, and it was a cup, and it was black.

And then when you poured hot beverage into it, it had zombie, like bloody zombie hands. Like it was a window of a zombie. I was like, I'm so glad you thought of me. She's like, you like zombies, don't you? Why don't you just see that online and board it? Board like zombies. I was like, oh, I can't pass that up.

I'll never know when I'm going to see that again. Wow. Yeah, they're both shocking at it. Sade's like, I know that I, yeah, I can't pass that up. I'll never know when I'm going to see that again. Wow. Yeah, they're both shocking at it. Sade's like, I know that I, yeah, I got carried away there. I've never bought anything on those Instagram ads and everything that I've really treasured. No. I've bought them and it's always been like, I didn't need that.

Did you see Wish? Because Wish is always doing this with like glass pee pipes and stuff. And you're like, ugh. Did you see yesterday the Saddam Hussein picture? What were they selling? No, that was when they found him in a foxhole. I don't know what you're talking about. Saddam Hussein?

You know how you get an ad of all the different things that Wish is selling? Yeah. One of them was a, the picture was Saddam Hussein. But I don't know if they were selling you a picture of Saddam Hussein. Right. Or like what they were trying to sell. Well, maybe it was a jigsaw. Like a thousand piece Saddam Hussein.

This is exactly where I'm at. And his foxhole. For $20. When he was former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. What? Yeah, it doesn't say if that's a print or anything. No, no.

Wow, okay. If I find it, I'll click on it. I'll bring you an update. I'm willing to click on it because your curiosity has got the best of me there. The top six is coming up soon.

Yeah, today's top six from Monday, mandatory on public transport to wear a mask. Now, there's people who are like, that's eight days time when they first announced it. Where will I ever find a mask in that time? You're like, you'll be able to work out something.

So there was a long list of things that could make okay last minute masks. Well, I've got the top six things that don't make a good last minute mask. All right. Otherwise, you get a $300 fine, on-the-spot fine from Monday. Well, Auckland drivers will know at the moment with Level 3, the roads are a lot emptier than usual. And for the rest of the country, you remember Level 4, what it was like if you were out driving.

I mean, at times it was like... You'd drive along and not see anyone in front of you on the motorway. And so that means no speed limit, right? Wrong. Well, I mean, do you remember how crazy people were driving level four? Like in April and stuff? So fast. People were herning past me.

Like I remember coming to work, you guys would say how crazy it was. Yeah. Didn't we talk to the police commissioner at the time about people driving when they shouldn't have been and they'd caught one guy and then the next day they caught him again and he was doing 150 k's on the motorway? No. So, stats have come out. In April, during Level 4 and 3, 21,000 speeding fines were issued to motorists by officers,

up almost 1,000 on April 2019. In May, when Alert Level dropped to 2, Good Lord. Wow. So what was it about lockdown that made us just, life could be over soon? We'll drive, drive, drive. There just wasn't many cars on the motorway, so everyone's just like, me, my road. Yeah, you're not just kind of basing your speed off the person in front of you, right? Yeah.

Yeah, that's true, because if the people in front of you are driving, you know, like the speed limit, you're kind of forced to, aren't you? Yeah. And you find if they're driving a little bit faster, you can keep up with them and then all of a sudden realise you're doing like 110. Do they just think all the cops and everything are busy doing other things? Well, they weren't. No. It's the biggest level of fines in a long time.

But even traffic congestion, yeah, they reckon that was down 80% in a lot of the bigger cities. Down 80%? Yeah, congestion and total traffic estimated to be down by almost half. So the only thing stopping people from driving that fast all the time is they can't. Basically, yeah, there's cars in the way in front of them. Very interesting.

Yeah, and also just on fines, I was reading a story in Germany from the Autobahn. Yes, that's a scary place. I've been on a bus, like on a Kentucky on the Autobahn, but I've never driven. That's unlimited. I've driven a car, yeah. Did you just say drove in?

I drove in a car. I drove in a car. I actually wasn't driving it. I drove in a car. Because I probably would have just sticked to like 110. Yeah, because the bus was like, buses can't go that fast. But yeah, you'd see cars go past you and it was nuts. We were going 125.

Scared the bejeebers out of me. And cars were just, yeah. Cars were flying past you. Flying past. Right. Well, a German guy, he was caught doing 81 in a 70 zone. This must have been a part of the motorway with a speed limit. Right. And normally that would be a 20 euro

fine, but I didn't know this. He ripped the finger at the camera right as it was taking a photo. Ripped the middle finger. And you're not allowed to do that. Well no, apparently that is being insulting in road traffic which is an offence in Germany. So he knew he was going to get a ticket

and he just pulled the fingers at the camera as he went past. Yeah, I don't know if he knew how much the fine would be. €1,500. So it's only €20 to speed. Yeah. But pulling the fingers. And he lost a month. Lice, he was suspended for a month.

Isn't that nuts? You've ripped someone the fingers because they don't indicate. Yeah. I can't believe the speeding fine's only 20 euro. It's a lot of 60 bucks. I mean, it was 10 over. So 40 bucks, yeah.

Good Lord. A little slap on the wrist. Unless you're ripping the fingers, then it's a big slap on the wrist. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. You may have seen his face everywhere yesterday. That's because in America, it was his birthday yesterday. Macaulay Culkin turned 40 and he told everyone about it by tweeting, Hey guys, you want to feel old?

I'm 40. You're welcome. Wow. 40, wow. It's my gift to the world. I make people feel old. Because he's just, I don't really know him in anything other than Home Alone. So when was Home Alone?

1991 or 1990. Was it? And I mean, he was like, how old would he have been in Home Alone? 7, 8, 9, 10? If he, 10. Yeah, 1990 it came out. So he would have been 10 or 9 or 10 when it filmed.

That's crazy. Wow, I didn't realise I was that. Oh, no, that makes sense. I didn't realise I was that. Old. No, young when it came out. Oh, right, yeah. Because you just re-watch it and re-watch it.

Yeah, but also, like, you could have grown up watching that even in the 2000s because it's a classic. Yeah. And, yeah, that would still be a shock. Well, he's, yeah, he's 40. Some people were really cute with their responses to him, but some, you know, when he went to... You know the internet?

He had a really rough time and lost a lot of weight. He was very gaunt, wasn't he? Yeah, he looked sick, didn't he? Yeah, someone shared that photo back to him and said, wait, were you not 40 like 10 years ago? Ruthless. Someone else said, I wish there was like Some sort of gif reaction

For this Like a character in a movie Slapping their hands To their face And like Expressing shock and surprise That'd be great Yeah

But yeah He's 40 So that's terrifying But so Just some of the other Cast people from Home Alone His older brother Buzz You know the big like

The mean one The douche The douchey looking one. The bad haircut. He's 43 years old now. Catherine O'Hara, who played his mother, who's been on Schitt's Creek and stuff since. Yeah. She's 66 years old.

She looks great. Is she the mum on Schitt's Creek? Yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Huh. Kevin's older sister's 43 as well

Jeff who is Kevin's older brother but the one that wet the bed he's 42 years old I'm kind of surprised we didn't see, I know the dad passed away am I correct in saying that? John Heard who was the burglar? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci was one of the burglars. He's 77

years old. Wow, okay. Daniel Stern, the other burglar, 62 years old. They were the Wet Bandits. I'm surprised we didn't see like a cast reunion over you know lockdown, everybody was getting super nostalgic and all old TV shows. There was like a Goonies, online Goonies reunion.

And I'm surprised we didn't see a Home Alone type reunion. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. I cooked with garlic last night and I just put my hand on my mouth and I could smell the garlic. Are you finding that's a problem now with wearing masks, as you're confronted with your own breath quite a lot now? I just have my breath that smells of garlic.

I can smell it on my hands because I cut it all up. Oh, right. Okay. I like it. I like when it lingers. That's weird. Yuck. It reminds me of garlic, a little bit like garlic bread.

I've washed my hands since, but if you've ever worked with garlic, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, steel soap. Pardon me? Steel soap. No, I'm not getting rid of it. I like it. As long as my hands are clean, I don't.

The top six today is the top six things that won't make a good last minute mask. From Monday, public transport is going to be mandatory to wear a mask. Weird, though, that it's not. If you get in an Uber or a taxi, you don't have to. I thought that was weird. The driver has to. Yeah. You've had to in Level 3, right?

Yeah. But Level 2 is different. But I'd still think you'd wear it in an Uber or a taxi just to be safe, right? Look after yourself. Well, I thought it was weird that children under 12 don't have to. I could understand children under five. You better just flop off their face. I saw a little kid yesterday with a little one.

Okay. But it's not so much for them, it's for everyone else, right? You know, like they could be spreading it to someone else. Exactly. Just wrap a bandana around their face or something. Yeah. Or a tea towel. We've all been told what will make a good last minute mask

But these are the top six things That don't make a good last minute mask Number six Flax Oh really? Holes if you weave a kete mask I was just thinking a strip of Flax

If you were to weave one If it was tight enough to stop anything getting in, it would also make it hard to breathe. Yeah. Don't get me wrong, wonderful bowl. Yep. Wonderful bowl to use at a hungy. Speaking of which, we'll talk about hungy later in the show.

Stay tuned. Number five on the list. Don't go anywhere. Vaughan's been stealing shit. I haven't been stealing shit. I've been cleaning up. Really? Number five on the list of the top six things

that don't make a good last minute face mask on public transport, roadkill. You might see one just as you're about to get on the bus and be like, I don't have my mask on me. I'll use that possum. No. No. Not a good mask.

No. You won't catch COVID, but you might catch a variety of other things. Number four on the list of the top six things that don't make a good last-minute mask. Newspaper. The newspaper. If you're reading a newspaper. If you're reading the news on your phone or your tablet, those are even less of a suitable mask.

But either way, wherever you get your news from, it's probably not a suitable mask. Number three on the list of the top six things that don't make a good last-minute mask. The seat way, wherever you get your news from, it's probably not a suitable mask. Number three on the list of the top six things that don't make a good last minute mask. The seat covering on the bus. Like you can't get off and just cut that and just stick your face straight on the seat and be like, I can't catch COVID if I'm breathing through this. Because people,

that's gross. If you've never seen the video of the person cleaning one of those by whacking it. Oh yeah, I've seen that video. That pattern for a reason. It's to disguise a matter of sins. Number two on the list of the top six things that don't make a good last-minute mask, a coffee cup. Like if you take a coffee to work.

Maybe you just suction it onto your face. Yeah, I can't do it now because I've got a beard, but I remember as a kid you could suck it onto your face. We'd have competitions on who could hold the glass on there the longest. Look at you go. That is a great look for you. doesn't doesn't cover your nose though oh that's true well that's another reason it doesn't make a difference maybe you can get it don't you want to try it please maybe you could get a carafe

did it for too long you had a circle around your mouth yeah no you used to panic because it would get stuck and then you realise you just blow. Ah, and it comes off. I find your lack of faith disturbing. Darth Vader. Number one on the list of the top six things. Yeah, but no one was reacting.

I had a cup on my mouth. I'm a middle child. I'll keep going until I get where I want. Someone tell me I'm doing a good Darth Vader. That's a great Darth Vader. Thanks. And number one on the list of the top six things

that don't make a good last minute mask are single use plastic bag. Because they're hard to find. Design reasons. That's all. Yeah. And you'll choke

and suffocate on them. Remember when they used to plastic bags used to come with writing on it that said I'm not a toy for children? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Another reason it doesn't make a good mask.

That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now, homosexuality is rife in the penguin community. Do you remember the story a few years ago of those, they were two male penguins. Yes. And they kept stealing. Stealing other people's babies.

Was that in Sydney? Where did that happen? I feel like it was Europe. Oh, okay. Very European. Shall I Google gay penguins? Spain? This one's in Spain.

Maybe that's why I'm getting confused. What are you Googling? Did you just Google? What did you Google? Gay penguins. You've got my best forces back. You've got to go gay. Gay male penguins. No, they're Berlin.

Berlin. Was that in Berlin? No, a gay penguin power couple adopt second egg at Sydney. So that was at a Sydney zoo. Were they given that egg though or were they stealing the egg? Someone was stealing it. Okay, they were giving. Look how cute they are.

So these penguins Pardon me? I was googling, there was two male penguins In New York City They were trying to hatch a rock Yeah, yeah, I remember that one too You're right, gay penguins are rife They're everywhere

Rife sounds negative too I don't want anyone to construe us as homophobic people who don't believe that homosexuality exists in other aspects of nature other than humans. It's definitely not natural. I'm being sarcastic, clearly. Obviously. This is exciting news for these lesbian

penguins. Electra and Viola they adopted and incubated another penguin couple's egg, which hatched this month. Where was the other penguin couple? I don't know. Maybe they had had enough. But see, they were a couple and they lacked the male to fertilise the egg so they could have the egg,

but it would be good for nothing more than a poaching or a light scrambling. Okay. Could you eat penguin eggs? I don't know, actually. What would they taste like? I mean, I guarantee you could, and you probably shouldn't. But I've seen, there's lots of them. There's some endangered penguins, but I wouldn't go about eating.

So penguin eggs are a staple in many Antarctic diets because they can be stored for up to a year and are larger than chicken eggs. Wow, and so many people live in Antarctica. Yes. Many Antarctic diets. What does that mean? For other animals in the area. Maybe, yeah.

Right. Despite this, penguin eggs are high in protein, which makes them beneficial in cold climates. And the most popular way to eat them is scrambled with just a bit of toast. Oh, they're not doing justice to the egg. Get a bit of cheese in there. It'd be all good.

Anyway, this pair of penguins, they built the nest together. They were showing all the signs that a penguin couple show before they start nesting. Okay. And so the aquarium was like, well, we'll just skiddly-dee them a little egg and see what happens. And yeah, they sat nesting. Okay. And so the aquarium was like, well, we'll just skiddly-do them a little egg

and see what happens. And yeah, they sat on it, they incubated it, and it hatched. Aww. Yeah. What did they call it? Hmm?

What did they call the baby? Oh, I don't think the baby's... Oh, I don't see that there is a name for the baby. Oh. Yeah. What is their names? Viola and Electra. Electra. Yeah. So I didn't see that there is a name for the baby. Oh. Yeah. What are their names? Viola and Electra. Electra.

Yeah. So I didn't know this, but a pair of female king penguins at Auckland's own Kelly Tarleton's laid an egg together in December 2018. Thelma and Louise were their names. But apparently it was infertile. Right.

Because there was no male involved in the process. But they did say that they later began to raise another chick after the biological parents weren't up to the task. So Thelma and Louise took on the little baby and raised it as well. So there you go. There's some good, wholesome penguin news. We've seen these a lot recently

People on TikTok Are sharing Work secrets We talked What About that on Wednesday Or yesterday That woman that works

At the hotel Like the tips To getting an upgrade Yep And just Just don't be rude Basically I think we talked about

The Kmart one a while ago That was essentially The same Don't be rude Yeah This one is From a 19 yearyear-old, Anna. She has shared, not on how to get like upgrades or like don't be rude,

how to get things cheaper and more for your money. So who does she work for? She works for Chick-fil-A, which is fast food chicken. Okay. Yeah. So she shared this on her TikTok. Okay, so I work at chick-fil-a so i'm here to give you all the tips and tricks on secret menu items um how to get things cheaper so i'm

gonna start with the seasonal drinks so right now we have a mango passion tea uh basically the large it's not really a large so what you're gonna order is you're gonna order an arnold palmer which is a tea and lemonade mixture you're gonna ask for is you're going to order an almond palmer, which is a tea and lemonade mixture, and you're going to ask for four pumps of mango. By doing that, you literally get double the mango passion tea for literally the same price. Wow, okay. Everyone's like, wow, this is amazing. Other people were like,

um, should you be sharing these secrets? Yeah, I don't know if I'd be putting myself out there. But then it's something that can happen, right? And if it's going to make people go to Chick-fil-A, what's their problem with it? Some sort of a promo, really. Yeah.

Because lots of people were like, oh, she's sharing the tips, we should go there. Everybody likes to think they know a little secret about a menu, right? Yeah. So I can understand

what their problem is with it. She then shared another video and it was her saying that she was on her way to get fired. She got a call from her boss saying that we needed to talk and I needed to return my uniform. She got the summonsing.

She did. But in saying that, didn't that go like, I mean this is, we're talking about it here in New Zealand. This went nuts. Didn't it get like a few million views? Well at last, look 2.6 million but I'm sure more than that now. You can't buy...

That's great promo for them. You can't buy that kind of... Advertising. Advertising. And some, like, most people aren't going to go there and only get that mango passion tea. No. They're going to get something else and then...

What was her name? Ana. They should call it the Ana menu. Ana Steezy. Put a little thing up saying the Ana menu. And the things that she, like, promoted. Don't fire her for promoting your business. Yeah, their fault for having that loophole as well.

Yeah. Yeah, totally. You're not, yeah. You've heard it from three business experts. But in saying that, I would never, I don't think I could ever go, if I had a job like that, I'd just go on TikTok and spill secrets like that because you are putting yourself out there. Yeah.

Like, have you seen all of them on TikTok? Like, people are, like, what are they thinking? Like, you could get fired. And, like, she's TikTok famous now, but, like, what do you get out of 2.6 million views? Is it, like, YouTube you get, like, paid? Nah. I don't think so. I don't think so.

You get followers and it might be a chance to get paid. Or she might have just. She might be able to endorse some, sell some tea, influence some tea maybe. Yeah. Or something. But I don't know if that's going to be like a regular income like job. Pay the rent. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. We were just discussing in studio what kind of breasts I would have. Well, I wasn't. They think I'd have pointy ones. They think I'd have, quote, weird pointy ones. I said if Fletch had them, he would have probably treated himself

to a little bit of work by now. I said I'd have big dinner plates. Nipples Some people are into it There's something for everybody out there I'm being shamed on my fake breasts Well we were talking about breasts

because I said if I had an uncomfortable bra I'd just ditch it I think I would also treat myself to going and getting the old custom fit What do you mean? Everybody and getting the old custom fit. Right. Okay. What do you mean?

What? Everybody who's had a custom fit raves about it. Do you mean go on there and ask them to like properly fit you? Yeah. Yeah. It's not a custom fit. Oh, well, you know what I mean? Like they're like properly.

Oh, sweetheart. Lisa, you've been wearing a C. You should have been in a D all along. And they measure you and they get it all. Yeah. Get you all sorted. And people always you and they get it all sorted. And people always rave about that afterwards. Yeah.

So we were talking about that. I was just like, I did it. Getting a proper fit of bras. This was a carry-on conversation from the producer's booth where Jared was learning from the two ladies in the producer's booth that there are uncomfortable bras. There was general underwear chat. It was all above board.

No need for HR to know about this conversation. Yeah, this sounds really weird. And then Jared tells... Jared just wanted to join in on the undie chat. That he's got lucky undies. So we're all buzzed in on the conversation because this sounds interesting. Explain the lucky underwear, Jared.

At my last job, I had an unfortunate series of events happen that oh that just sounds like you she's from experience you never tell that story on the radio I share the story like that it was on the Herald because I shit myself on a line scooter six people on the show. Yeah, I mean,

that was Camp Labacta. As I always said, that was Camp Labacta. That wasn't put in the news article. But you nearly shat yourself. It was just like,

oh, it was just riding along. and the cobblestones shook it out of you. Yeah, thank you. And they never put that in the story

and it made me just look like I was just shat myself and I had a reason. Well, anyway, you had an unfortunate event, Jared. Yeah, so I shit myself at work. At work. That's better than yours because it was at work when it happened.

Was it campylobacter? No, it was hangover comboed with early morning. Get a grip, man. And a butter chicken for dinner. Oh, okay, yeah, right. early morning get a grip man and a butter chicken for dinner oh okay yeah right so I cleaned up my work had a shower so I used that

I threw some clothes away and then I got a message from a tinder girl basically yeah basically telling me to come round after work and I was like

oh dear I would have been like I've just shat myself. You've had a shower, right? How into it is she? You've had a shower. Yeah, I've showered, I was cleaned, but I didn't want to rock up to her place commander.

Oh, right, because had you thrown away your underwear at the stage? Yeah, they've been incinerated. Good call. Okay. Don't tell me you went to the supermarket. No, even worse, I found a souvenir shop. This gets better. Yep.

Okay. They had a single pair of undies with the New Zealand flag. My man. My man over here. Whoa, my dude. Was the flag, was the whole thing a flag or was there flag placement? Imagine a pair of jockeys, navy blue, and the jockeys are the flag. These are briefs.

No, they're like the... Or a boxer. Boxer. Okay. Like jockeys, but not jockeys. Okay. And the whole thing is a New Zealand flag. Oh, wow.

And it says New Zealand on the waistband. Very comfortable. Very comfortable. New Zealand. Wow. How much do these cost? $10. $10.

That's such a risky choice knowing someone's literally about to probably see them. Yep. And so these are now your lucky underwear because you pulled in them. I pulled and, best part, I wore them when I applied for this job at my interview.

Oh, wow. Okay. You probably wouldn't have got the job if you'd told us about you shitting yourself at work. I would have not given you the job straight away. I love that he still sees that as a positive. Yeah, wow. He hasn't been here long.

We'll break him yet. Right. Wow. That's great. So I think we've got to raise the question this morning. Does somebody have a pair of lucky undies? Like a lucky charm? Yeah. Not a pair of lucky undies? Like a lucky charm. Yeah. Not just

to get lucky, right? All my undies look the same. I've only got one type of undie. And I just buy different colours of the same one. Same. Because I know what I like and I get the same ones. Well, I have undies that you wear if someone's going to see your undies. And then you have undies you wear if no one's going to see your undies.

Blew my mind when I learnt that females don't always wear matching pairs of, like, tops and bottoms. Nah, that's like in magazines. Yeah. Like, you might have the matching pair, but, like, you don't necessarily seek them out, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Mind-blowing. Well, I know that some people might have, like, the top-tier undies, like, if they're going to go on a date. Oh, yeah. You bring out the good pair. Yeah. But then the others you just wear for work and stuff. But yeah, does anybody have that lucky pair of underwear?

Is that a thing or is it just Jared? But maybe it's because it's when something good happens in that pair that they become the lucky and you become superstitious. Yeah. Do you have a lot of sportsmen that are into the superstitious thing? Correct. Like they might have their routine before a game? Yep. Or maybe you shit yourself and you had to buy a pair of undies

and then something good happened and you were like, okay, $10 undies that are actually comfortable. It's you and me. Did you think about going back to the store and getting more pairs? I have considered it. Yes, do it. Do you have a lucky pair of underwear Like our producer Jared Not many

Those undies origin story If you missed it Catch it on the podcast A recap wouldn't even do it justice No Relive the whole thing In podcasty glory I don't think so

No So we wanted to know If you've got lucky undies Somebody messaged in 19 year old me Had a very lucky you've got lucky undies. Somebody messaged in, 19-year-old me had a very lucky pair of Holden undies. They were silk boxer shorts. Oh, my. Oh, wow.

What does very lucky mean? I don't know. Just that they got some. Yeah, because it's too late once you get to the person's undies, eh? Yeah. You're kind of decided what journey you're going on. But, oh, well. I reckon you'd try to find an excuse out of here.

What kind of undies would stop you? Satin boxes. Right. Any kind of satin boxes. I'm not asking Fletch because I don't believe anything would stop him. I'm not even looking at him. I won't make eye contact with him. And cartoon duvets. Like any kind of like cartoony duvet

or a Holden duvet. Right, okay. Poor duvet. Lots of duvets would stop you. Yeah. It would make my day if I arrived home today and Shade had popped on a SpongeBob duvet. A SpongeBob duvet.

Imagine if the whole duvet was like SpongeBob. Square pants. So not the, oh my God, and then you sew little arms and legs on. Oh my God. I'm sure it exists. I'm sure that exists. Oh my gosh, I want it so badly now. Even if it doesn't, I'll wish into existence.

Some other people saying they've got a lucky pair of duck hunting undies. Oh, yeah, okay. You're going to get the most ducks with these undies. Where do they put them away? And only pull them out first weekend in May. Give them a shake. An earring. Blow the dust off.

A light earring. Well, that's the thing. You wear that pair, you have a good day. Yeah. And then you're like, well, these must be lucky. Must be lucky. Anonymous has called up. Do you have a lucky pair of undies?

Yes, I do. Okay, and what makes them lucky? So, every single game of soccer that I've ever played, we've won in them. But why is it the undies though? I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the comfort of them.

I don't know, but I've scored a goal in every single game that I've played in these and every game that we haven't played, I either haven't scored a goal or we haven't won. Is this a grading problem? Maybe you guys are just too good for your grade. No, no, no, no. This is definitely 100% the undies. Lucky undies.

It's in my head now. And even some of the girls in my soccer team are like, yeah, you better have them on because we need it. So does that mean now that these are the lucky soccer undies, do you have to put them aside or do you wear them still? You can't wear them other times in case they wear out. No, they're just for soccer. Okay, good for you because you can't have

them wearing out and then mid-season they get a hole or something and you have to chuck them out. Exactly, so just my soccer undies, they can't be anywhere else. Exactly. So, yeah, just my soccer undies. They can't be anywhere else. And my drawer is just for soccer. Good. Well, good luck for this weekend's match.

Rhys, you have a lucky pair of undies. Yeah, I sure do. Okay. And what makes them lucky? I don't know. I used to wear them when I played rugby and those games I'd always end up winning. So, they automatically became lucky. Are the same pair of undies that you would wear in a game of rugby

suitable for wearing out? Like, not on the same day, like you'd wash them between, but I'd imagine having never played rugby, would you want a more of a supportive athletic undie versus a sort of a more casual boxer brief? Yeah, sure. We'll go with that. Okay.

But I lose you there with the undie chat. He's like, mate, they're bloody old wife-run jock. They're just knickers, aren't they? They're a frilly pair of knickers. So do you wear them out if you're not playing rugby? Like if you, I don't know, you wanted some good luck? If they're the only things left in the drawer, then yeah, pretty much.

Okay. Nice. All right, thanks, Ray. Some Texas. There, then yeah, pretty much. Okay. Nice. All right, thanks, Ray. Some Texas. There's quite a lot of sport-related undies. My grandmother bought me a pair of undies for my birthday the day before surgery that was probably going to fail, and she ended up surviving. So they are pre-luck.

They're my lucky undies that I wear, but it gives luck to other people. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, that's... Unfair. What about you? Yeah, what do you... I mean, you get your grandma, so that's people. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, that's... Unfair. What about you? Yeah, what do you... I mean, you get your grandma,

so that's good. Yeah, true. That's lucky for you too. Right, so there's a few people who've got lucky undies. All right. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. It's holy moly, moly, moly, moly. Holy moly, moly, moly. Come on! The work edition. This is everything to do with your job. And keeping in mind, this is anonymous. We don't know where you work.

We don't know your boss. So some of these results are quite surprising. You're a boss? I'm a boss. You're a boss at your cafe? That's weird. I shouldn't be in charge of anyone. I remember when you were one of us, man.

Yeah. Now you're just the man, man. I'm not a regular boss. I'm a cool boss. I'm sure you are one of us, man. Yeah. Now you're just the man, man. I'm not a regular boss. I'm a cool boss. Sure you are. Okay, David. Can I have a day off this weekend? No.

Absolutely not. I hire you to work weekends. I always give them the day off. And then I make my husband work so I can chill. Right, okay. Do you like your job? First question. Okay.

72% said yes. That's good. That's higher than I would have thought, but that's good. Some comments were, I love my job and what I do. Could do without some of the staff, though. I love my job. I'm a full-time magician. Full-time magician.

So if you don't like them, you just make them disappear. Anyway, I imagine you'd work for yourself, though, if you're a magician. But full-time, you're doing well then. What would you be doing? A lot of birthday parties? Yeah. Functions. The Inter-Islander at school holidays?

Yep. Yep. They always had a magician. Rainbow Zend. Yep. They had magicians. As a nurse, I love what I do. Are we just naming everywhere you've ever seen a magician? Yes. Yes, we are.

We are. Harry Potter themed birthday party. As a nurse, I love what I do, but there are definitely parts I don't enjoy. I think we can all probably understand that. Next question. Do you like your boss? 78% of people said yes. Okay. Is there any way to see if your staff have done this?

They all did. They all said yes. You made them. Comments. I am my own boss, so most of the time. He's my husband, so that's all says, so I don't know if they voted yes or no, he's my husband do you think you're paid what you're worth?

35% said yes well everybody wants to be paid more, don't they? everyone wants more pay, nope I don't think anyone in the healthcare system is paid enough especially now, I couldn't agree more yeah, totally the 35% are in the 1%. That's mathematically impossible.

I get what they're saying though, yeah. Yeah, they're saying the 35 people that agreed, yeah, yeah. Do you work outside of your business hours? Like put in some extra time. Yeah, but hopefully you're getting paid, right? You're getting overtime, surely. Nah, I don't think, well, I didn't take that as you'd be getting extra.

Right. 66% of people said they do. Yes, but lucky I get paid for overtime. We have a culture at work where if you don't, then you're considered lazy. I don't like that. As a lazy person, I don't like that. No, I don't like that as in there's this culture is that if you're paid for the hours,

say you're paid, contracted eight hours a day and then you're expected to work outside of that, they should be expected to pay you. There shouldn't be an expectation that you're giving up your time outside of work to work for nothing. You work for that if you don't live to work. Exactly, you get paid overtime.

Yeah. Have you stolen from work? Oh, you don't live to work. Exactly. You get paid overtime. Yeah. Have you stolen from work? Oh, everybody has. What have you stolen? Vaughn steals stuff all the time. What are you? What have I stolen? I think last time I stole a highlighter.

That paper. You stole that paper. Yeah, you stole that paper. Well, I was either going to print it here or print it at work. And I'm printing it at home. I mean, sorry, I'm either going to print it here or I'm going to print it at home. I'm printing it at home, so technically I'm saving work ink. Yeah, but you would have stolen that ink and the paper.

Well, I would have used both the ink and the paper if I was here, but at home I'm only using the paper. So vis-a-vis, they've come out on top. They should be giving me money for the ink. I don't know if that's how it works. I'm sure there's a list. I've delivered. Yeah.

34% of people have stolen from work. Oh, wow. Comments are, we've all done personal stuff on work time, technically stealing. Nah, that's not stealing. That's just skiving off. Yeah, checking your Facebook, booking appointments. No, that's just procrastinating. That's smoker break.

Yeah. I cannot justify buying my own printer. So they're doing all their personal printing at work. Free shipping. Oh, yeah, I've done that a bit at the old job. That was a classic. Courier bags and stuff. Yeah, grab a couple of courier stickers.

Yeah. They never said that they weren't for personal use. Yeah, no, it's their fault. Did they? Did they? Did they say you weren't allowed to use them? No, they never said. I never heard that they weren't for personal use. Yeah, no, it's their fault. Did they? Did they? Did they say you weren't allowed to use them? No, they never said. I never heard them say it specifically. I'm not incriminating myself.

The shopping spree at the stationery cupboard when you're having a rough day does wonders. Yeah. It's not like Smiggle Stationery, though, is it? No. It's just like boring. Everybody had their sticky fingers in there if there was some Smiggle Stationery.

Yeah, nobody's stealing bunches of Office Max pens, are they? No. Aren't they? Not so much. Aren't they? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. All right. So, I've got a plan.

A group of my mates, we've always, we've talked about it for a couple of years. Okay. We talked about this after we went on a hike and we cooked steaks in the ground. Right. We took the steaks, we dug a hole, and it was like we had a barbecue, but it was in the ground. So then when we were finished, we could just fill it all up

and just carry out this little mesh thing that we cooked the steaks on. And I was like, we've got to do a hungy one day. So there's been a lot of chat about it. There's been a lot of chat about hungy There's been a lot of chat about hangi, the technique we're going to use. Yep. And I know that you

can get, and when you get like a good set of hangi stones, river stones? Yeah, because I think it's because they can,

they can take the heat. Yeah. And they hold the heat. But people pass them down through generations. Yeah. Like it becomes a bit of a family heirloom.

But you've got to check because one of the rocks explodes. Yeah, you don't want exploding rocks. You don't want exploding rocks when you put them on fire. So I learnt that an alternative was railway irons. Now this could be old rail track cut into manageable pieces. Like little what, like 20 centimetre or brick size. Yeah, 20 to 30 centimetre long. Brick size iron. Slices of railway

track. Yep. But I just learnt that just big thick bits of that steel will hold the heat for ages. So it's an alternative if you don't have river stones. You make a big fire, you put the iron, all the rocks on, they heat up, you put those in the ground, your basket, you cover it up.

You put a wet sacks, dirt on top, steams the food. I grew up with many a hungy. Every white hungy day. See, I've had a good hungy as an adult, but when we were kids, it was always done by white guy farmers who were just giving it a go. Isn't that you? Before the internet. So they couldn't watch a whole lot of videos about how to do it. These would just be like, I think this is what you do.

In fact, mum's just texted, does Vaughn want the hungy steamed pudding recipe? Yes. I told you about this yesterday. I've heard wonderful things about that. I definitely want the hungy steamed pudding recipe. Okay, we'll get on to that. So this is a background,

one of those background conversations you have with a group of mates. It's just on the summer. It'll pop up every now and then. So imagine my surprise when the railway track just down the road from us is getting a bit of a zhoosh. Okay. A zhoosh. A zhoosh. Now, they must have replaced the section of rail because there was this long bit of rail. And I looked at it and I was like, I'm never going to be able to get you home.

And it was at... Was it just on the side? Right. It was put to the side. I don't think you can steal our national railway tracks, Vaughn. They obviously took it out because it had a bit of rust or whatever in it. Like it had been damaged. You didn't have to be coming back to get it.

Nah, they're not. These things sit there for years. So I was like, you're going to be too big to get home. It was at that stage that I spotted what could only be described as a cast iron plate. And I've investigated. It's what the rail. So you would attach the plate to the railway sleeper. Yep.

The big bit of wood. Yep. The huge bit of wood that everybody wants now for their gardens. And then the rail sits on top of this plate. Right. Like a bracket. And it clamps onto the rail to hold the rail there. But they're getting rid of that.

They're getting rid of all of that around my place. Right. And they're replacing them with concrete sleepers. So the old steel plates have just been discarded haphazardly on the side

of the railway line. Are you sure? Discarded or placed there for years later? Discarded. Are they still working in that area? Discarded. No, they've finished

the area that I went to. They've finished. They're moving further down the track and I'm following them, baby. Okay, wait. Isn't it also illegal to walk on railway tracks? Good question. I stayed on the side predominantly, but I know it is also shut because there's a digger on it.

So you can't just be taking a freight train through a digger. Right. Yeah, okay. So it's not being used at present. Right. So these things are quite heavy. I've collected 20 of them so far. Oh, my God.

How heavy are they? So heavy. Last night, Meg and I took a backpack down, and the straps were like, every time I step, I took the straps like, and you could just hear, like, the fabric being tested. How many were in your backpack? Eight in the backpack, eight in my hands.

What? It was like a CrossFit workout. I was exhausted when I got back to the car. And I took the backpack off, and my shoulders felt like they were floating. That's how heavy it was. Anyway, so I've got 20 of them. My question is, how many do I need?

Is that illegal? Oh, no, it's not. Because my question is... They're all covered in mud. Half of them I had to dig out. Right. They've put all around the railway lines, they put a whole lot of stones. Yeah.

Half of them were half buried in those stones. They weren't coming back from them. They were just going to leave them there to rust. Right, okay. So I've collected them. So I don't believe it's stealing because these things were just being repurposed. You get a hope not. You're recycling.

It's recycling. Well, I mean, you've told everyone now, so they know where to come looking for them. But do you have enough for a honey? I've got to get my fair share first. Do I have enough for a honey? I've got to get my fair share first. Do I have enough for a honey? Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

Because I've only ever been involved with river rock. How many rocks were there? A lot. Because you kind of cover the whole bottom of the hole you've done. Yeah. Multiple levels. Get the heat. Yeah, like a mound of them.

Yeah, yeah. Surely 20 of those like plates would be enough. I don't know because I watched a few videos last night but no one ever talked about how many I needed. Do you even have the right ground? I don't know. What do you need in the ground? I've got ground. This is going to be an absolute

disaster. I can imagine you... I'm going to have to wait until it's a little bit drier though because I've been building a garden when I dug the post holes at the bottom instead of filling up with water. But is that a bad thing? Because hungy is about the steam, right? So you want lots of steam generated. Steam not boiling.

Yeah, but you're not poaching a hungy. Yeah. I know. I wouldn't put the food down into the water. That would be gross. Cooking it in mud water. Yeah. But anyway, if anybody knows how many I need.

Okay. So if you need more, you'll go back to the site tonight and steal some more. I will go back. I will revisit the site and go for a walk, picking up things otherwise left to rust. On the side of the track. On the side of the track.

And how can I cut a large piece of rail? Oh, my God. When you're not taking over a railway track. There's one that's like two metres long and I'll be able to fit that in the back of the Land Rover to get it home.

But then when I get it there, how am I going to cut it into manageable pieces? God, this is like that time you went to the park and cut down a council tree with a chainsaw. No, I cleaned up the tree

that had fallen down. And that actual tree is going to be used to light the fire that will heat the train track. I'm doing a hungy on a budget here, my friend. Is this what they call living off the land? Also, can I make a hungy basket out of a supermarket trolley that I find?

Absolutely not. Where are you finding this trolley? In the car park of Peckinside? No, I've seen one in a creek not too far from home. Nowhere near a supermarket. You should take it back. I've seen it multiple times and been like, how did you even get here? Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

I just want to say thanks to everybody rocking in with some tips. For your hungy. On the hungy. Yeah, I appreciate that. I'm getting some hot leads on a couple of river stones. Right, okay. To put in the mix with the railway iron. Yep, mum sent you through a recipe as well for the same pudding.

For the same pudding. Listen to this. Fletch is like, it's really yum. Are you allowed to share it? Is there not like a... Oh, is this... I don't know. All I'll say is Fletch is like, it's really yum.

I'm like, yeah, it's got a jar of jam and a jar of sugar in it. I mean, the jam was bringing a lot of sugar to the party already. Good lord. Man, that sounds good. Yeah. We want to talk about something, whether it's cringe or cute. Now, this is something that producer Anya has seen. I've seen

over the years people doing this a bit. People do this, yeah. And I've always thought it was a little... I've never really even thought about it. I can see why people do it. Yeah. My friend has just got a new girlfriend and he has added to his Instagram bio at Sally, let's call her.

Yeah. Padlock emoji. She's got him locked up. Padlock emoji. I've seen it with like the love or like the couple emoji. This is like the Jonas Brothers song. I love that when you bring this up and Mountie goes straight to her boyfriend's Instagram. Yeah, I've already checked too.

And what, Mr. Toyboy, have you tagged in his bio? No. I don't have him, but I kind of expected him. Right, Mountie at the social media desk. Yeah, I'm about five lines down in his bio. What does he say before you? He's got two flags, Kiwi Canuck, so the Canadian flag and the New Zealand

flag. Okay. Mixed martial artist, and then a little punchy emoji. Yep. His weight class for fighting. Purple belt, MMA. Yeah. And then here I am with the two heart emojis and a ring emoji.

Oh, okay. Are you engaged? No. He can't put a ring emoji unless he's put a ring on it. I'm his wifey. Not by law, you're not. So you didn't have him in your bio? No, I don't. How do you find it?

Cringy or cute? I'd be leaning towards cute because it doesn't really bother me, I don't. Do you find it cringy? How do you find it? Cringy or cute? I'd be leaning towards cute because it doesn't really bother me, I guess. Yeah, okay. I don't cringe when I see it, but I also am like, it's all cute. Yeah, right.

Right. Because I've just checked Sade's got me in hers. What does it say? Hamstrung by this It just says wife to and then me So nothing like overly But I don't know if she wants me No emojis or anything

She wants me to Should I call and ask? If she wants you in the I don't know if she's going to answer She's probably busy doing homeschool or something I mean we could have called her through Nah she wouldn't have answered Because it's a private number Hello Hey how are you? Good She's going to answer. She's pretty busy doing homeschool or something. I mean, we could have called her through. No, she wouldn't have answered because it's a private number.

Hello? Hey, how are you? Good. Hey, you're on air, so just don't swear at me. Not that you would. Do you want me to list you in my Instagram bio as my wife or? Uh, yeah. Ooh.

Should I have done? You don't wear your wedding ring anymore, so. How am I supposed to let the honeys know that I'm DTF? Oh, no. Stop. I can't be ball and chain with a wedding ring gal. Oh, my gosh.

She reacts exactly the same as I do to you. Pardon me? Is it all you wanted? No, but do you want to be in the gram, bio? I don't know. What do you want? I don't really care, to be honest. What kind of emojis do you want around yourself,

if I put you in there? Because somebody's got a lock, and I was like, oh, no, that makes it sound like you've got them captive. Just some cute little hearts and little, maybe, sexy, dancey emoji girl. Oh, like the red dress. Red dress, yeah. Okay.

Yeah. All right, cool. Leave it. Yeah. All right, cool. Leave it with me. All right, I'll just go back to homeschooling our children. Oh, how are they? Has anybody been suspended? I'm very passive aggressive. Has anybody been suspended today?

Yeah, August. Yeah. She's got a board of trustees here and coming up like that. All right, thanks. All right, bye. All right, see you, mate. Bye. Bye.

Are you going to get in trouble for that later? I don't know. That was like... I just love how she reacts the same to you as I do. So we asked on Instagram, do you think it's cute or cringey? And wow, I think people overwhelmingly say it's cringey. Aww. That's mean.

84% said it's cringe. 16% said cute. How many people do it as like, get your hands off my man and do not slide into his DM? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. How many people do it because of that? Do you think your friend, Anna? Anya, oh, I called you Anna there.

That was so nice. Now that's good. Let's keep it. No, no. Executive intern Anya. This friend of yours that put it in, do you think he was told, like? I don't know because she doesn't have it for him. Oh.

And it's quite early on in the relationship. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. Where do you put it in? Is she hotter than him? No comment, you're on.

Where do I put it in? In the bio part? Yeah. In bio. Chuck it in there. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Friday Flashback.

But it's a Friday tradition. We've got to pick an old song. It's got to be a banger. I did want to play a Smash Mouth song because they're getting death threats today after they played that music festival and everybody's now got COVID. Surprise, surprise.

But I thought, let's not bring the nation down. Those people have also got to take personal responsibility. Yeah. This is, I mean, we can blame Smash Mouth for so much, but it's about time. You knew. You knew it was a thing. take personal responsibility. Yeah. This is, I mean, we can blame Smash Mouth for so much, but it's about time. You knew. You knew it was a thing.

And also, is Smash Mouth who you want to risk it all for? No. No? No. Like, I'd risk it going to some concerts, but not to see Smash Mouth.

So I've chosen a New Zealand song, which actually, when it came out, debuted at number one in the New Zealand charts 10 years ago now that's a big feat doesn't happen that much debut yeah and it lasted a couple of weeks at number one and then old Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg swooped in and stole that number one

spot but this song uh actually went quite big in America actually actually. Remember when iTunes used to do the free song of the week and it was a free download? No. They'd just like kind of highlight new bands and stuff. So that kind of... Tell us more about this time, Grandad. You used to buy songs on iTunes. What?

I know, crazy. So they kind of, it was just a way of them to spotlight new bands and stuff. And they did this for this Kiwi band. And of course, that got a lot of traction. This song actually was used in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. A heap of TV shows. Chuck. Movies as well.

The list goes on. I think it was even on an ad. I think I remember being in America and seeing it on an ad in America. Just thinking, that's weird. It was massive. It was. It was massive. And the song, yeah, absolutely huge.

A Kiwi banger. And it is today's Friday flashback from the naked and famous 10 years old. This month. Is it M? We're only young and naive still We require certain skills The mode of change is like the wind Hard to control when it begins Found you to sweep between my teeth

or are you like, we need to get out of this on Sunday quickly? No, no, definitely made the right decision. Oh, wow, okay. This is definitely the platform to tell us that it's not working. Now would be the perfect time to tell us, to the nation, that it's not working. No, that's great that it is, anonymous. Thank you for your call. Jess, did you find love in lockdown?

Yes, I did. I actually knew the guy about six years ago, and during Level 4, we kind of rekindled and started talking. And then Level 3 came around, and I extended my bubble to him. And then ever since then, we've been hanging out, and we now live together. And, yeah, he has a boy who's eight, and I have a boy who's seven, and they get along.

Oh, that's so cute along and play every day and yeah, it's really awesome. Right. Okay. That's so cool. Just found each other in lockdown. Yeah. The reconnection.

Yeah. Like I knew him, like I met him once through a friend like six years ago and he'd messaged me, but back then I was like a bit complicated. Right. Yeah, so I don't know

and then we just kind of like lost contact and then I was going through my old messages deleting stuff during level four. I was like,

I'm going to message this guy. I messaged him. I love that that's how bored you were. You're like, I'm going to, you know what, I'm finally going to

delete old messages because no one ever deletes old messages. Wow, free enough space. Hey, thanks you called Cherie. You found love in lockdown? Not me. My best friend, actually. So she started messaging for a match with someone on Bumble during the level four.

Yeah. And they were just messaging on and off for quite a while, actually. And then they decided to meet up when we were back in level one and started dating and now they're doing this lockdown together. Wow, okay. And are they living together for this lockdown or are they apart? They're sort of floating a little bit between his place and hers, but pretty much, yeah.

Okay, wow. Okay, thanks, Cherie. Thomas, you found love in lockdown. Yeah, I did. So we met on Bumble during the first lockdown. And she's actually, she's never had a relationship before because she's got some hardcore Christian parents. Okay.

Hardcore. So yeah, and then so we spiralled into what we are now and she was going to actually spend this lockdown with me because her hardcore Christian parents aren't fun. Jesus! I know, I love imagining they're into hardcore Christian rock metal. Thanks, E. Cole Thomas. Wow, okay, so lots of stories coming through.

Oh, Somebody said, sorry I couldn't take your call. I'm in a meeting. You can read my story on air if you want though. Thank you. Not quite in lockdown, but I got set up on a blind date with a guy eight weeks before the last lockdown

and he moved into my house for the first lockdown and never left. Happily together now for seven months talking about marriage and babies. Definitely wouldn't have moved in together if it had not been for lockdown. Nothing like a global pandemic to fast track a relationship.

Yeah, that's one way to find out you're compatible. Well, yeah, because that first lockdown was a long time. Yeah. So you're going to find out pretty quickly

if you like someone or not, aren't you? Yeah. Someone said we've missed an absolute opportunity to play Love Lockdown by Kanye West in the background

of this segment as a musical accompaniment. You know how I hate missing a musical accompaniment option? You do, yeah. That's going to wear on me all weekend. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Fact of the day comes from Brittany Robertson

Who submitted a fact for the Vaughan Use My Fact For the fact of the day competition we're having A little side competition to win some cash Congratulations That netted her $500 Now you can win $500 cash as well today. You've got to be listening. After we give you this fact at midday and at 4 o'clock if you get through and you answer

correctly, you win that cash, all thanks to Save My Bacon, helping you borrow money online and growing your credit score at the same time. So, Brittany's fact is about the kiwi. A national bird. Beautiful little bird. Many different species. It can't fly.wi. Okay. A national bird. Beautiful little bird. Many different species. It can't fly. Correct.

Correct. That's correct. The fact of the day is that due to a technicality, kiwis have the shortest beak of any bird. No, they don't. It's a long one. It's long ass to like dig into the ground with. What is the technicality that could mean it's got the shortest?

It's made out of something that beaks aren't made out of. Oh, no. That's interesting. I hadn't thought of that. The nostrils are right at the top. Correct. Shit, I'm good, eh? I should be able to chase.

But it is the only bird in the world where the nostrils at the end of the beak, not the part of the beak. It's because they've got to dig into the ground. They get dirt in their nostrils. What? They've got to poke it into the ground. So that's one of the downfalls. One of the downfalls of having nostrils at the end of your nose

is that you'll often be heard huffling and snuffling to try to get the dirt out of your nostrils. Yeah. A little peewee bird going, oh, I've got a bit of dirt up my nose. So the reason being that it is used for smell. It can smell and there's also a sense. It can sense movement.

So it sticks the beak to the ground and it can smell whereabouts prey might be. It knows a bit more about its environment. And if there's like a worm under the ground, it can sense that a worm's under there with movement and it can go and get down there and get it. That's amazing. The Kiwi's olfactory bulb. I believe we've talked about the olfactory bulb before in some regards.

The old factory bulb. Because it sounds like I'm saying old factory bulb, but it's olfactory bulb. It's part of your brain. We've all got them. It's the part of the brain linked to smell. Okay. It is, in the bird world, it has the second largest olfactory bulb as well. Second only to the condor.

You know, that big, huge bird of prey that can smell its prey from a long way away. It needs to have good smell because the nostrils are really far up its beak. Yeah, right at the end of its beak. It's got to run it right back up to the to the old brain situation. But today's fact of the day and I found it fascinating because I had absolutely no idea. I even googled a little picture. Look, here's a little picture at the end of it

and it's unique in the bird world. There's no other bird. Oh yeah. There's no other bird with its nostrils. Its nostrils that little bit there. See, I'd know that if they turned the bloody light on at the zoo and that thing. They're like, here's a kiwi. Where?

It's never there. Do you ever go into that thing because when we take the kids to the zoo, because everybody's like, I can't see it, but stay still, you might see it. And I'll be like, I'll go, oh, there it is. And it's not there. And everybody crowds to whereabouts you are and you're like, it's just back. It's just behind that log.

If you keep an eye on that log, it'll come out. And then you're like, you just turn your phone torch on. No, you don't. No, you don't. Don't do that. Oh, I'm not allowed to be a bitch, but you are. In the Kiwi enclosure. I'm messing with people.

You're messing with the Kiwi. Paint them with a little bit of green glow-in-the-dark paint or something or a little leg tag that's glow-in-the-dark. When you go in, you should be given night vision goggles. Yes. How cool would that be? Like a Navy SEAL. Yeah, but then COVID.

It's ruining everything. Yeah, true. Into my hypothetical situation of night vision goggles. So today's fact of the day from Brittany, who wins herself $500, is through a technicality, Kiwis actually have the shortest beak of all birds. Fact of the day, day, day, daykeeper here. Oh, you're in trouble. Fletch, you're our least favourite.

I haven't done that. I was just saying I want to see a kiwi. You're their least favourite on the show now. Ha ha. If you were their most favourite, maybe they would show you the kiwi. But you're their least favourite. They're going to show the Kiwi a photo of you and be like, if he ever comes in, hide.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Just googling Call Her Daddy podcast. Never heard of that one before. Call Her Daddy podcast. Don't say daddy. Don't say daddy. Why not? Just the way you said that was very weird.

I apologise. We received a message yesterday from Ross Boss. Yeah, and he said number 15 and sent us a list. This is from Pod... Who are they? Pod News. Spotify New Zealand podcast

charts from June 1st to August 15th. Fletch, Warner Megadon, ZM, 15. This isn't a Skype because there's 14 better podcasts. Now, Michelle Obama's podcast is numero uno. I've been wanting to listen to that for a while. What does she do on her podcast? Talk to people, like inspirational people? Is that the vibe of that podcast?

I don't listen to podcasts. I didn't even know she had one. I know. That sounds like one that I'd be into. You're a big fan. I don't listen to podcasts. Only FM radio for me. Thank you.

Ted Talks is up there. And then Call Her Daddy is number three. So that's why I was like, what's that? What is it? Stuff You Should Know. Some other ones you might have heard of. The Joe Rogan Experience. Oh, yeah.

Harry Potter At Home Readings. I thought that was an audio book. I didn't know that was available in podcast form. And then you get down to other ones. There's like a wellness service. The Mindset Mentor. Guided Sleep Meditations. And number 14, one of us,

Msoft's White Noise Sleep Sounds. meditations and number 14 one of us im softs tim softs white noise sleep sounds so we think wait we've been beaten by a podcast that's white noise this is a laundromat laundry machine for one hour relax to the comforting buzz and turning of several gas laundry machines running in chorus so did someone hire a laundromat, just go in with a good microphone, plop it down in the middle, put coins in all of them and press go? And have one of the, like... I don't like that one as much. What are some of the other options?

So this was from the start of July till August. These guys have cranked out a few podcasts in there. They started with the summer night sprinkling. Sprinkle? Sprinkling? Or light rain. That's a light summer rain. That's not bad.

I have a friend that always puts rain on his iPhone to go to sleep. Yeah, on a timer. I'm like, that's weird. So then they followed it up with moderate November rain. Guns N' Roses Had something to say about that But Then there's driving An old truck for an hour

I drive an old truck And I can tell you It doesn't sound like that It sounds like this This is rain If you were in a barn Oh that's quite nice Nice except

Barns have rats in them. Yeah, yuck. Yeah, they do. This is a high-speed futuristic train sound for one hour. Why would you... No. Why would you want that? It sounds like a plane in a freefall, doesn't it? A hissing low fire.

A new log is placed on a waning fire on a wood stove. Perhaps it's a little too green or wet as the log hisses as it burns. So they do a whole lot. Oh, waterfall. Do you want waterfall? Okay. Oh, no, you're right underneath that. No, just to the side.

I'd want to be sleeping just to the side of the waterfall. That sounds like you're right next to it. Perhaps the most unusual one. What's this? This is the boiler room of a U-boat submarine. Just imagine you're a Nazi in the Atlantic Ocean

looking to bomb some liners and you're taking five minutes to yourself to... To go to sleep. Relax in the boiler room. So are you taking from this that if we want to get our podcast and radio show...

Higher. You've got to start playing some relaxing sounds. Yeah. I was thinking the floor of a mortar-damaged tank as it ploughed through the enemy lines. If this U-Boat Submarine Boiler Room's anything to go by. Maybe we just need to do some vocal training to make your

tones more soothing. I mean, we could be happy to settle for one place up, or if we went for Joe Rogan's in at number seven. If we went for Rogan, we'd just have to take Magic Mushrooms and do a three-hour-long interview with Post Malone. I want you to both seriously consider that

over the weekend. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I saw a headline and I was like, oh, I'd fall for that. But it turns out the people didn't even fall for it. The headline read, Inmate Organised Bar Tab for Mount Eden Prison Guards. So, wow, okay. I would, don't believe I'd be corruptible,

but if an inmate was like, we've sorted you out a bar tab at the local drinking establishment for Friday night for you and the lads. I know, instantly I'd think, the lad S's of the prison guard. I'd think great bar food, I'd get some wings, some chips, some wedges. See, I go wedges over chips.

Yeah, same. You're going to use up all your money on food. No, how big's the bar tab? They're gang members, they don't muck around. Oh yeah, true. You know. And I tell you what, I wouldn't feel bad spending their gang money on wedges.

Better than it being spent on weapons and G&Ts. Spend some sports cars and through ill-gotten gains. Wedges and G&Ts. Yum. That's magic. Sort of, sort of, G&T bar tab, get up there. You'd be like, okay. Get up there like, hi, G&T and some wedges.

Oh, is that on the Comaturos tab, is it? Yeah. And then the Comaturos accountant has to go through all their spending and they're like, who's been on the G&Ts? Come on, guys. We're a gang here. I'm not drinking G&T. At least say I'll have a G&T but put it through as a bourbon.

So this actually happened. Yeah, so they were told that there was a bar tab for them and it had been organised by, but they didn't fall for it. The prison guards. The prison guards didn't like fall for it. No, they went and told their managers. Right, okay. So, yeah.

And then they called in the Intelligence and Integrity Support Team. And then they tapped prison phone calls. And discovered it had been organised by a prison inmate. There's a gang member. Wow. So there was a bar tab. Yeah. I'll take your bar tab.

Yeah. That's how much I can do for you. I'd go and check there was a bar tab before I'd'd go and talk to the... Yeah, I'd be so corruptible. I think you would too. But then I wouldn't be like, hey, remember those wedges in G&T? Slip me the key or turn a blind eye to the drugs that are getting thrown over the

fence. I'd be like, oh, darling. No, no, no, no, no. If you want me to turn a blind eye to drugs coming over the fence, hon. It's going to take a lot more than a couple of drinks and some wedges. I'm going to need a very flash car. Yeah, yeah. Give me one of those nice cars that you lot are always driving on the news

when they bust you down. But yeah, apparently they were. So they're not allowed to accept a bar tab as a gift from a mate? No. No, Megan, they're not allowed to say any gift. There's no sort of... This is another job I would not last long in. Because I just see that as a gift.

You'd turn up and be like, everybody, it's my birthday today. What have you got me? But like Vaughn, I wouldn't let them out. Like if they asked for something that was bad, I'd be like, no, you gave me a present. No, but you'd want a little something back from people who have Been a detriment to society
