Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Warren and Megan with Hayley Sproul podcast. It's thanks to McCafe by 5 McCafe coffees. Get one free on the Maccas app. Have you guys had a COVID swab? I have. Oh yes, you sent me a video of you getting it done. Your head really went back. They go so far in.

They go in, don't they? They go deep. Well now, they might be going a bit deeper. Apparently, China started to use anal swabs to test for COVID. Why do they all get all the fun stuff first? What? How are you going to get your ass up to the car window? Yeah, so you drive up You do a full mood

Yeah And they just slip it in, slip it out Just kind of half crack your window And then put your ass up to it So they're doing it so that you can test at home. Or do it yourself. And then what, do you put it in a thing and shake it, and if it turns a certain colour, you get COVID?

Is that how it's working? Well, I think you're probably sending it back to the lab. Oh, right. Well, the diagram's quite graphic. Yeah, right. So, yeah, it's like an at-home. You know, have you ever seen, so when you buy a box of tampons, there's a diagram of how you should put them in.

Yes. It's always a woman with her leg on the loo. Is it? Yeah, yeah. Pop your leg up, babe. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay.

So this is what the drawing is here for the instructions of the at-home anal COVID test. And it's, yeah, one leg on the loo. Yep. And just reach behind. And pop it in and just reach behind and pop it in okay and then pop it in i didn't know that you would you get covered in your bum well the virus goes throughout your body oh your whole system kind of goes through the system but there must be a there must be a hot spot up there if that's if famously famously in men there is is there yeah is there well that's... Famously in men there is. Is there? Yeah. Is there? Well, that's the thing.

How far in do you go? Well, it's like a normal swab. Three to four centimetres, it said the swab. So how far in is that other spot? Fletch? I don't... Why are you looking at me? You just...

Hayley? Ask Hayley. Well, I was making my way around the room alphabetically. Right. Of course. Yeah, right. Okay. Hayley couldn't answer me.

Vaughan? It's about three to four centimetres. In? Yeah. I simply must try. For some reason, I thought it was like elbow dip. For some reason, I thought you really had to get in there. Yeah, right.

What is it? The male G spot. Yeah. Is that what's up there? Yeah. So if you go to get a swab in New Zealand. Listen to him playing coy when he got sent like the top 10 sex toys from 2020. None of them went up my bum.

Okay. Right. Okay. Wow. They might not have marketed that. There was definitely a couple in there that were meant to go up my bum, but no, no,

no. I'm saving that for winter. Wait, did you get sent them? I got sent the top five sex toys that adult toy mega store sold. Because you know how sex toy sales went through the roof when everyone was locked in their home. For some reason they were like,

well, as soon as I'm home I might try this masturbation thing everyone's raving about. So you got a full box? I didn't. Have you seen your wife's sex? No. God, we're going through some batteries. Why did they send them to you?

I don't know Why not? They just sent them And because they Oh it was because Just before we finished last year Remember we did a We did the

We talked about them We talked about their list They released their like Top ten Yeah okay And talked about the Satisfyer Pro 2 Because everybody

Had one of those Because that's number one baby Yeah it was number one And they said Oh they messaged me And I said Oh you know We're finished for the year.

Here's my home address. Just send them on in. Of course. Very discreet packaging. Did you ask them to fast track it? Yeah, definitely. Got to get that. No, I don't know.

Definitely. I am. ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletchfawn and Megan. The podcast. Good morning.

Welcome to the show. Fletchfawn and Megan with Hayley Sproul. Happy Friday! Friday! Not a happy Friday, I've got a mosquito living in my car. In your car? I forgot to tell you guys, every day this week when I've jumped in the car and drove to work, I've received at least two or three mosquito bites.

Oh dear! I had a spider set up shop and it would just literally create webs all through the inside of my car. Could I borrow the spider to kill the mosquito? Oh, we could join forces. Yeah. Just get a little web in the corner. How do we do this? Just back our cars up and open the boots. Open the boots and just dock them.

I have for several years told you you have a damp car and this is just proof. No, the mosquito wasn't born of larvae in my car. It flew in the window. You don't know that. You don't know that.

You don't know. Today when I drive home, it's going to be windows down, baby. I'm going to try to flush this dude out. Lose it at 110 k's. Yeah, there's no way he can. Why is your car so wet? It's not wet. It doesn't leak when it rains.

It doesn't leak when it rains. Get it together. It smells like hay and swamp. And this isn't the vintage one. No, it's not the Land Rover. The Land Rover leaks when it rains. Get it together. It smells like hay and swamp. And this isn't the vintage one. No, it's not the Land Rover. The Land Rover leaks when it rains. But it was built to leak when it rained. The Honda 2004's vintage.

Oh, okay. 2003. Not a great year. It's an 18, what is that, 18-year-old car? Yeah. Still going. After a few more years, it'll be a classic. Oh, I don't know.

Will it be? Will it be in the same category as, say, a Mustang? Oh, well, this is far more fuel efficient. And it's got a mosquito living in it. Joining us on the show today, Lexi. Lexi Brown from The Bachelorette. Well, she is The Bachelorette. She is, yeah. So new season starts on

Monday. We've got a chance for you to win cash as well when you're watching that. Are you scratching your mozzie bike? That's a forearm mosquito bike and I've got one on my shin. She's on the show today coming up the top six. Yeah. Florida have said, hey, y'all,

we'll host the Olympics if Tokyo chicken's out. And everyone's like, hey, just shush. While America's on fire, whatever like COVID hotspots in the world. Full of literally old people

who are at the highest risk and said, yeah, we'll host the Olympics. And I don't believe they're in any way qualified. No. And like a quarter of the world's COVID cases.

Yeah. Isn't that the stat? And they've never had the Olympics in Florida before. Wouldn't you go somewhere? Atlanta up the road had the Olympics,

but that's going back 27 years. Yeah, LA have held them. LA held them in the 80s. We should hold them. Well, we don't have the stadium capacity. Or the space. We could work it out.

Yeah. I'm sure we could chuck a couple of hurdles up. It might be all over the place. A couple of school halls for the gymnastics. Yeah. A couple of war memorial halls. What else do they need space for? On an archery, you do it in a paddock with a couple of hay bales behind it.

And so if you miss, it sticks into the hay bale. I mean, we're not short on paddocks, that's for sure. We've got paddocks to burn. I mean, don't burn any of our paddocks. We need all our paddocks. Well, maybe that should be the top six. It would be fitting. Well, no, the top six is the top six other cities in the world

equally unqualified to host the Olympics. Brilliant. All right, that's coming up. You also want to launch a new idea. Yeah, I've had a new idea. I would put this of the same ilk as the morning moo. You remember this hugely successful

radio segment, The Morning Moo, where dairy farmers would ring up and coerce their cows in the milking shed into mooing. Yes. Because look, it's a stupid time to be awake. So you've got to celebrate the people who are awake Yes

So dairy farmers, tick Next on the list, stay tuned to find out Alright, we'll launch Warnsey's segment soon And we're also going to have a little look at the BBQ King Just blowing up on social media for a very strange reason In case you missed it, there are two COVID cases Blowing up on social media for a very strange reason. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. In case you missed it, there are two COVID cases in Auckland. Two, yes, one adult and a child.

And they're related, so not separate. Not separate. And there was a list released yesterday with the, was it yesterday, I think, with the locations they'd been to. So that, yeah, and then they've added more overnight. They've added more overnight. And I guess what people are noticing about what they've added is, so when the original list came out,

there was a restaurant on there called Barbecue King. Yeah. That they visited four times in two days. We talked about that and it's kind of like a, it's like a Chinese restaurant and it looks delicious. It looks great. It looks delicious and it is a K-pop, like a karaoke bar as

well. So I understand now why they're going back. They're having a meal, maybe they've got back just for a sing. Because overnight it turns out they've added two more BBQ Kings. Two more visits to BBQ King. They went to the BBQ King six times. Yeah.

In a few days. And then the great thing about this is, so Google searches for Barbecue King have utterly skyrocketed. It's trending on Google because everyone's going, what is this place that is so good that this guy is going here, or this person, I don't know the gender, is going there six times in a number of days.

So there were some days they did, by the looks of it, lunch and dinner. Lunch and din. And then the next day, lunch and din. I mean, when you find your spot, though. I get this. I get this. We were discussing yesterday that perhaps they were a worker there

or perhaps they were, you know, like an Uber Eats delivery person and that's why they were going there so often. And so people were talking about it on social media and their Facebook page, their social media, got involved and started chatting to them saying, man, everyone was saying, we've got to go to this place. It's incredible. They've been going there, you know, six times in a row.

Oh, maybe they work there. And then they commented saying, nope, they're a customer of ours. And then they're posting the menu under comments for people so they can see, like, what's there. Yeah, they've been super inviting. I mean, no publicity is bad publicity, right? All publicity

is. All publicity, sorry. That's the saying. Good publicity. Yeah. No publicity is bad publicity is also the saying. Yeah. Yeah, that's also bad. It works both ways. Yeah. Lazy Susan, which I'd never heard of, is a Facebook group. Lazy Susan sharing knowledge of Auckland's food.

Oh, my God, I love a Lazy Susan and a BYO. When you get the table with the Lazy Susan, you're pretty stoked, eh? Yeah. Otherwise, if they're like, oh, push a few tables together. Where are they? A, you know, obtusely large table with a circle in the middle? Because you don't want

the lemon chicken getting stuck over the other side of the table and your friends don't pass it over and they hog the lemon chicken. Yeah, the whole night you're there with a lame

fried rice and that's all you get. Yeah, or just a plate of bok choy. I mean, I like bok choy but not a plate of it. Oh, no, neither. Maybe a couple

of soppy strands of it but that's it. So people are commenting on social media, absolutely fizzing at the pop that it's, fizzing about the fact that it's a K-pop party restaurant. That's what they advertise themselves as. And they, so someone says,

wait, wait, it's a K-pop party restaurant. I'm keen. And then they commented the restaurant saying, oh, yes. So they're embracing it. I've gone to their Instagram. Okay. Dekaiby.nz.

Yeah. Eat and party like Dekaiby. Now, I've looked that up, and that is a legendary creature of Korean mythology and folklore, also known as Korean goblins. Legends describe different Dekobi in many forms, and they often wear hanbok, which is traditional Korean dress. But they have DJ hour. It's New Zealand's first K-pop disco pub.

Friday 9 p.m. till late. Saturday 9 p.m. till late. Wow, well, it must be good if they're going. However, their K-pop party has been postponed due to this outbreak. They'll be doing the deepest of cleans. They will be. But when this all blows over, are we... We're down.

Absolutely. I'll book us a table. Are we doing a Blackpink song? You know, my family, big Blackpink fans. Right. We're sort of a semi-K-pop family now because the girls are right into K-pop. Oh. I mean, I think that's great

that they're embracing it on social media because you've got to think about some of these places, the Pullman being one, you know, this restaurant, the popping up.

You know, their reputation might get a bit of a tarnished image with these COVID cases. So good on them at saying, yes,

yes, they came here six times in three days. It's because we're excellent and we have K-pop. My dudes, go to this Instagram. Their story

is them all getting COVID testing and the deep clan going down in their kitchen. But they're just showing everybody how seriously they're taking it and how the news is set up outside and how they're doing like a full fumigation clean. I'm obsessed with them. Yeah, okay. We certainly do need to book a table.

Yeah. It's going to be hard to book a table after this, I think. Will it be? They've just got their COVID swabs back in one of their stories. Negative. Yeah, baby. Great stuff and another negative. Good news.

All right, next on the show, some embarrassment. Yeah, a lady had something in the background of a Zoom call. Oh, this makes me want to crawl into a hole and die. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. An interview was going down on the BBC, and these are all at-home Zoom interviews now. Yeah. As they have been for like the last year.

Maybe not in New Zealand, but still, if you watch the news here, if it's an overseas interview, it's always like an expert from their home. Yeah. If it's an overseas interview, it's always like an expert from their home. Well, it was a – Yvette Amos was having an interview with BBC Wales. She was talking about unemployment and in the background on the shelves. There's a lot of papers, a lot of books. Yep, there's a paper. Up the top there's a game called Scrawl. Articulate. She's got Artic Scrawl. Articulate.

You've got Articulate. There's Articulate up there. Yep. Think Happy Things is written. A couple of those like accordion type papers folders. You know, you take the top of your – open them right up. Yep. You can file it.

It looks like a beautiful sort of mahogany wood shelf there. Yeah. I wonder if we've been led astray there. And it's a mahogany stain versus actual mahogany, but it's hard to tell from this distance. But there's one thing that's unmistakable and it's the huge penis that she has there, the huge latex penis, testicles included.

It's intimidating. It's a big, old, girthy, girthy diddle. It's like a suction one, you know? It's got some movement to it. So you can put it on the window. Stick it to the shower wall, I guess. Right. Can I just say, safety's sake, not against the window.

Oh, no, absolutely not. Now, showers are made of a thicker safety glass or maybe even the hard wall of a shower. Yeah, right. If you've got a tiled shower or one of those sort of shower units. And so she didn't think before the interview with the BBC on Zoom, I'd better hide my dilly. It feels like she almost did it on purpose.

Look at this. Look at the... She's done almost... Oh, look, I've zoomed in here. Yeah, she has perfectly framed that shot. It is centre there. I mean, she hasn't put a lot of effort into presentation. It's a bit of a messy shelf.

It's got a can of spray paint next to it. There's a lot going on. There's a car. There's some paint on the wall. But this dilly is, oof, good Lord. You know, it is front and centre. It's not, no. Has she commented since news broke on this yesterday? You know, it is front and centre. It's not, no.

Has she commented since news broke on this yesterday? I don't know. After it was originally tweeted. What's her name? Has she got a Twitter? Yvette Amos is her name. Yvette, which is a hard name to spell. Y-V-E-T-T-E, Amos. Yvette-S-E-N-O-S. Yvette. I mean, she looks like a lovely gal.

She's, whew. It's like the width of about three of those books. Yeah, there's this book called DIY Manual, and it looks like that's a big, thick book, and it's bigger than that. And you know what? We don't know how far back that bookshelf is. You know, remember when they were making The Hobbit,

and they were like, the secret to making McKellenan look so much bigger? Oh, it was like, what is it? Perspective. Yeah. And The Hobbit's are further away, so they look smaller, but you get them up with the same size as Serene Macallan. It's whoo, whoo. I can't find her on Twitter, so maybe she's in hiding.

I think she would be. I mean, this is either a really embarrassing moment or great commitment to a gag. I need to know which one it is. I know. You'd have to say it's a gag. It's got to be, right? It is top shelf centre.

Because is that where you put it? Everyone knows your dillies go in your side drawer. Yeah, the drawer of shame. Bedside table. Not on your shelf in your office. Unless it's something that is penis shaped. Well it could be like a pepper shaker. I can see

the head in the veins. It is not. Could be a doorstop or a comical paperweight. Could be an art piece. It could be one of those castings. You can buy that thing where you can take a casting of a loved one's member. Do a plaster cast

of an ex-lover. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. From the sophisticated ZM Think Tank this is the Top Six. Hi there. Hi there.

Today's Top Six Today's top six. The top six other cities in the world are equally as equipped to host the Olympics as Florida. Now, I understand Florida's the state. There's multiple cities within. But Florida, the little penis that hangs off the bottom of America. America's fried. What do they call it?

The panhandle state. Yep. Does it look like a handle? So they've put their hand up because Japan may pull out of hosting. Because the world's on fire. Which is the responsible thing to do, isn't it? We're not saying come and gather here for one of the biggest events of the world. But Florida's like, why don't y'all come over here?

It's just, I can't see it happening. No, you can't. Just rapid. I know that sucks for the athletes that have literally been training their whole lives and may have the only shot at going to the Olympics. I know, I know. That's what, I was like that for everybody's health, but then I saw a story in the news with Tom Walsh, the shot putter.

Oh, yeah. and he talked about how already he'd been training to peak, and then it didn't happen. So now he's doing that again, and then he's like, I don't know if I can do it again. This could be my last Olympics, and it could be Valerie Adams' last Olympics, and there's all these people that are like, I was

one last Olympics. What about Living Room Olympics? And they just video themselves doing it and the judges zoom in. Yep. Hard for things like

javelin and shot put. But better than nothing? Because a lot of these athletes as well, I watch something and they've all been just having to train at home

with the equipment that they have which for specific sports is really hard. Like if you're a track runner and you've got lockdown restrictions, I do feel very sorry for them.

Well, there's no way Florida could pull this off, especially with a horrendous amount of COVID cases there. So I've got the top six other cities who are equally incapable of hosting the Olympics. Okay. Number six, Chernobyl. It's a lot of room though. Lots of room.

And to be honest, I don't know, maybe four weeks on site could lead you to have some sort of superhuman power. Yeah, sure. It will kill you. One of the two things. They had that diving pool. They did. Yeah, they have a lovely pool. Well, it's empty.

It's not that lovely. What are you talking about? It's a shithole. I mean, they could fill it up. It would leak. They'd have to constantly be pumping heaps of water in to keep it full, but they could if they wanted to. No, carry on. Number five on the list of the top six

other cities who are equally incapable of hosting the Olympics as Florida is Damascus and Syria. Oh, yeah, right. I don't know if you guys have heard. It's not a great time for Syria. No, it's not. But they also realise it's not a great time for Syria, so they're not putting their hand up to say we could host the Olympics. Florida, take notes. Number four on the list, it's another a great time for Syria, so they're not putting their hand up to say we could host the Olympics. Florida, take notes.

Number four on the list, it's another American city in the top six cities who are equally incapable of hosting the Olympics. Detroit. Maybe in the heyday. In the heyday. Maybe in the heyday. And maybe now if they had like 20 years' notice that they could build stuff and get some investment going, it would probably be great for Detroit,

but not at short term. Number three on the list of the top six other cities equally incapable of hosting the Olympics. I might need your help here, Fletcher. I don't speak the South American dialect. Okay. You don't speak Espanol? The capital of Venezuela, Caracas. Yeah.

Am I saying that correctly? Yeah, you are. Yeah. Not a great time for Venezuela either. No. What does toilet paper cost now? $1,000. Yeah.

Good Lord. Riper inflation. Yeah. What does toilet paper cost now? $1,000. Yeah. Good lord. Riper inflation. Yeah. Suffered. Number two on the list of the top six other cities equally incapable of hosting the Olympics is Florida, Havana and Cuba. Yeah. They don't have the resources. No. They don't really have the resources. Cigars.

Yeah. Yes. And $1 mojito. I had $1 mojitos in Havana. Oh. Because everyone knows what an athlete needs is cigars and mojitos. Let's see them run quick if they've been huffing cigars and drinking mojitos. Would even be a better Olympics. Yeah. The Drunken Olympics.

And number one on the list of the top six other cities equally incapable of hosting the Olympics, Hamilton, New Zealand. Nothing against Hamilton. It's my hometown, but you don't have the facilities. They could swim up and down the river. Yeah, well, that's where you do the canoeing. Kayaking. Kayaking.

Yeah. The rowing. Yep. The rowing. The swimming. You've got the lake. We could make some rapids for the rapid parts. Yeah.

Yeah, we could get that done. That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So there's this teenager over in America at the moment that has noticed something missing from the American household, something we use probably every day, I'd say. I know you guys do. The humble kettle.

Hey, I'm from Australia, and this is why America confuses me. None of you own a kettle for some reason. No kettles. You cannot find one. And other people are chiming in saying the same thing. America, how do you have your hot water? I feel like, has this been talked about before? Yeah. I think it came to light, there was a list a while ago of things British people don't understand about America or vice versa. Right. And it's a lot to do with the voltage as well, eh? Because we're rocking like 240 volts. We're rocking 110.

Our kettles could not boil water off that. Yeah, because I think I had some hair clippers and I plugged them in in America and it was just like blah. Yeah. Like that. But I just don't understand. I mean, like, how do you get hot water?

How do you get boiling water? Are they old school enough that they're putting a pot on the stove? Like for kettles, for coffee, do they just have those stovetop ones? I suppose so. Or like those coffee machines. Yeah, maybe they just have coffee machines. The old school kettles. What about making a cup of tea?

What about... I don't think they do a lot of tea. They always make an iced tea, don't they? You just put water in. What about filling up your hottie on a cool night? I think they insulate their houses instead. And have central heating. We haven't quite caught up with that.

No, no, not yet. Yeah. What an interesting thing. Yeah. They don't have one sitting on the bench. Yeah, ours are so prominent in our lives. We display them. It's something you buy, like if you go flatting.

Yeah. You need everything for your house. That's on the list, right? Toaster, kettle. You pop down to your local Red Cross or Salvation Army and you buy your first kettle for $10. Ooh, it's got the brown stains in it. Yeah, don't drink out of it.

Yeah. Or you just get one from Kmart or the warehouse for like $10. Ooh, it's got the brown stains in it. Yeah, don't drink out of it. Yeah. Or you just get one from Kmart or the warehouse for like $10. I had this horrible thing in winter last year where I had been filling up my hottie and then recycling the water. And I was like, you know, it's fine because I'm just going to put it back into the jug and reheat it from the hottie and then put it in. And anyway, then I realised, you know, I obviously hadn't used all of the water up

and I made Aaron a cup of tea and it had all these bits of like broken off rubber all through it. It is so grim. Like microplastics. Yeah, so inside the hotty had kind of melted a little bit and every time that I was recycling the water and pouring the water from the hotty to the jug, the jug to the hot from the hottie to the jug the jug to the hottie hottie to the jug

why are you recycling like 600 mils because I don't know if you guys know this but the planet's not in a great state well neither is Aaron now

because you poisoned him with rubber he's like a seal full of microplastics they'll do his autopsy one day and they'll be like he must have been

down the Mariana Trench he's riddled with microplastics Flesh, Va must have been down the Mariana Trench. He's riddled with microplastics. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Question, who's awake at this time of day? Even earlier, they've been awake for hours. Truck drivers? Yeah, truck drivers. Truck drivers. Yep.

Radio presenters? Correct. TV presenters? Yep. Farmers? Farmers, yep. Tick, they're done. New mothers? New mothers

A lot of people People that go to the gym before their job But also people who work At bakeries And that's why I would like to introduce you To the new segment It won't be every day But there's an introduction made for it

Okay so just play this for you. Okay. Bakery of the day. Bakery of the day. Bakeries are Italiano. This one is. So, okay. Bakery of the day, you don't have to be working in a bakery. Okay. Maybe you frequent a bakery.

Yeah. Like tradies, you know how tradies will stop on the way to work for like a pie and a monster? Or they love a pie for a brickie. Yeah. Pie and a Z. Yeah. Like tradies, you know how tradies will stop on the way to work for like a pie and a monster? Or they love a pie for a brickie. Yeah. Pie and a Z. Yeah.

Z? V? I don't know. Z is the Petrus nation. I said I was going to have a better day with my brain today but it hasn't happened so far.

It's one of those high scoring letters from Scrabble. Yeah. Pie and a V on the way to work. Yep. You ring us

and tell us about a bakery. Okay. You can be in the bakery. You can be working at the bakery and like we're just going to hit you us and tell us about a bakery. Okay. You can be in the bakery. You can be working at the bakery and, like, we're just going to hit you with a whole lot of bakery questions. Okay, so you choose one person that either works in a bakery or goes to their favourite bakery. Goes to their favourite bakery.

And they say the name of the bakery. Name of the bakery. And then they promote an item from that bakery. Oh, right. Or like a lolly cake. My bakery does a legendary lolly cake. You were about to say lolly cake. I love lolly cake. My bakery does a legendary lolly cake. You were about to say lolly cake. I love lolly cake.

Or lamingtons or ginger slices. So it works especially well if your bakery has a signature item that you always get. Right. Maybe it's a little bit of an undiscovered secret. Okay, you're worried that people won't call for this segment? No, have you been in New Zealand? It's always a concern, isn't it?

There's 18 million bakeries. Right, so... You know they're always like, oh, Australia's got more pubs than people. We've got more bakeries than people. Yeah, okay, that's fair true. This was a flawless point. So just clarify your intention,

what you want. So you want people to call now, I'll wait for the dials again. I mean, the ideal scenario is somebody calls and recommends something from a bakery that's kind of not that far off my path home and then on the way home they ask something like that.

So this is just you looking for good food. Yeah, and writing it down and, oh, hey, supporting local. Right. Will you be giving them a certificate? Yes. For bakery of the day. Yes, bakery of the day. Because then they can put it in the window

because you know how if they ever got like a Metro top 50 something, they're gone about it forever. Oh, I know. We'll send you, and not only will it forever. Oh, I know. We'll send you, and not only will it be in colour, it will be laminated. And you stick that in the window of your bakery. This segment has a jingle and a laminated prize.

Yes. I feel like the laminated prize was just made up just then. Yeah, it feels pretty improv. Sir, how dare you? I shan't stand for your accusations. So bakery of the day, 0800 dials to them right now. If you work in a bakery or you have a favourite bakery,

you need to nominate it right now. Nominate your bakery. We're going to pick one person and then what? Come back next and talk to them. Yeah. And I'm already like starving. I'm already ravenous. So, after we hear about your, you know, favourite thing of this bakery,

I'm going to lose my mind. Bakery of the Day. Buongiorno. Buongiorno, buongiorno. Well, this'm going to lose my mind. Bakery of the day. Buongiorno. Buongiorno. Buongiorno. Well, this is Vaughan's idea for a new segment on the show where we find bakeries.

Because there's so many bakeries doing minimal. You must have noticed you drove around the country lots. Oh, so many bakeries. New Zealand law, like, we bloody love bakeries. Oh, we do.

Yeah. You know those bakeries like Hayley just said, you've almost got to, by default, walk through those dangly plastic things to get into them. Yeah, yep. And it goes, Me-noo.

Me-noo. And you have the classics there, the Chelsea buns, the cream donut, the lolly cake. Yes. A Sammy selection, some chicken Sammies,

some pies. A sausage roll with a few too many vegetables in it. Oh, no, I love that. I didn't pay for half an onion. And a grated carrot. Yeah. Right. And my sausage roll.

And there's always one sort of kebab stick with meat on it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Sate stick. Tina joins us for Bakery of the Day, hoping to be the show's first Bakery of the Day. Right, okay. It's been such a resounding response on the phone line.

Oh, the phones have gone crazy. We've got a few to pick from before we delve out today's laminated certificate. Okay. Tina, now, do you work there or are you a customer? No, I am a regular customer. Okay, you're a regular. So you're in no way, you don't have stocks in this company. You're not trying to get free advertising for them.

I feel like I do, the amount of time I spend there. Tell us about your bakery. So I've only been in Christchurch for about two and a half years and the guys I work with said, oh, you've got to try this bakery and the name is Baker Man's in Christchurch in Pendleton and it is amazing. Oh, I've just Googled, and you, Vaughan, knows how I love a Belgian biscuit.

Do you? Absolutely. And he makes a pretty good Belgian biscuit too, actually. Look at their, and they've got Afghans there. I'm on. This place looks amazing. However, I will say, Tina, I've just scrolled down, it looks like more of a cafe than a bakery.

Oh, no, I disagree with that. They've got a cafe as well, but the bakery, yeah, well, yeah, you could say that, but the stuff there is amazing, and you have got to try their chicken croquette. Oh, I do love a chicken croquette. Oh, no, I'm really hungry. This looks legit. What is that, a chicken and cheese sandwich,quette. Oh, no, I'm really hungry. This looks legit.

What is that, a chicken and cheese sandwich, is it? No, no, no. It's shredded chicken with potato, and it's deep fried in breadcrumbs, and it is just delicious. Oh. Tina, Tina, Tina, you're doing me wrong. You are doing me wrong. I'm almost booking my flights to Christchurch now. So every time you go to Bakeman's, you have a chicky croquette?

So you primarily think their signature dish is the chicken croquette? I would say yes. I mean, the bakery is nowhere near where I live, so I do a detour on the way to work. Okay. It's 7.30. Okay. She's detouring specifically to get there.

I think we've found New Zealand's first bakery of the day. Yay. We're dishing it out. Yay. Bakermans aren't even going to know what this means when it arrives because they didn't call to nominate themselves, but they will be receiving a laminated certificate to celebrate their role as the first ever New Zealand bakery of the day.

That's so exciting. Bakermans in Fendleton. Yeah. That's on the list. Baskets. Go on the website to whet the appetite before you arrive. Oh, they do a ginger crunch slice. It's not the only thing that's...

No, what? You don't finish that sentence. You calm down. Here we go. Okay, so what happens now? And that's it. Well, we spend the rest of the ad break and the news salivating over this. Right, okay.

Yeah, so this is the hard thing about what you've come up with here because people can ring up from all around New Zealand. How are we going to get something from Fendleton's? I want this now. You've teased us. Well, that's just it really, isn't it? It's the big tease. They're playing hard to get by not being everywhere.

And people love that when you play hard to get. Now I just want baked goods. I think it's good for just bakery business around the country. Celebrate these people who have been up since 3 o'clock in the morning. You don't want to do this every day, though. What about... I think the obesity would be

off the charts. Right, okay. What about just once a week? Yep. Friday? Well, that would be good for the laminating budget, actually, because we can't afford to laminate five times a week. A lot of plastic as well.

Yeah. Once a week. Once a week, Friday. We'll see you next Friday for another edition of Bakery of the Week. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. Abrupt finish. Abrupt finish.

Abrupt finish has not been fixed. YB are some of New Zealand's finest artists at present. They did not write a song to abruptly end like that. Hang on a second. So what is happening with this abrupt finish? Can you go on Spotify, L-A-B-Y-O-Y, and tell me how this song ends? Why?

And if it's three minutes ten, because I think they've pulled another hard edit. It's four minutes 10, because I think they've pulled another hard edit. It's 4 minutes 50. That's what they've done. Jesus, that's a long song for 2020. So, the way that we've fixed it is just to stop it. Stop it! They are so

cheeky, the music department. I'm going to have an absolute hard word to them. You said it ended at what? 3.10? 3.10. So if I go to 3.10, this is 3.07. We'll just drop right in here. Okay, and then I'll just do one of those. So this is what happens. Well, let me do my ZM.

It's Flea, Torn, and Megan with Hayley Sproul, and then I can just manually fade that out. Isn't that way better? God, do we have to do everything around here? I didn't realise it was so manual. This is another chapter in the book. Oh, we should be running this place. We should be running everything.

Everything. Sometimes I see how the country's been running and I'm like, excuse me, blaringly obvious solution here. And it just takes us a good effing luck. At running the country. Or just in this place. Yeah, we've got skeletons.

Yesterday, I was out for a bicycle for fitness. Now, you mentioned before, you said, oh, I knew you were a cyclist. I'm not a cyclist cyclist. Tell Hayley I'm not a cyclist cyclist. No, no, no, he's not a Lycra cyclist. Do you have the clogs and the padded ass? No, I don't have the clippy cloppy shoes. I've got like a commuter bike.

It's not a road bike. I genuinely have nothing against cyclists. It's just the rhetoric, isn't it? Yeah, a little bit. It's just what you have to do. Is that what you're saying? It's what us motorheads have to do. Share the road.

I mean, look. Okay, so yesterday I was biking on a new cycleway, so you don't even have to worry, road user. I'm not allowed on it with my car. No, no, we do have to worry because that could have been a lane for more cars. Do they know what's happening with the traffic out west? I've got no idea because I've got a cycleway. Well, cycleways are certainly a hot button with rate payers.

So it's like a double lane. It's beautiful. It's new. Are you guys paying road user charges now? Yeah, I didn't think so. But so it's like a double lane. It's beautiful. It's new. And it's... Are you guys paying road user charges now? Yeah, I didn't think so. Who's paying for these bike lanes? I hope we don't have to register our bikes

because I run a lot of red lights. Anyway, so I'm using this new cycle lane and there's people going both ways. And I go past this guy and he gives me like a nod. You know what truck drivers do? The Kiwi head flick. Like, I'm another cyclist. It's a cyclist wave.

It's your community. It's your transport community. Oh, you don't know. Well, I know because initially. Everybody has a wave. Everybody has a wave. And this is the thing. I was like, well, did I know that guy?

I was like, why did he do that? Don't nod. God, he doesn't know how much he's confused you. No, and then another cyclist did it. I think people are excited about using this new cycle way. They're like, it's another person using it. Nod. And they were like, nod. And I was like,

what are you nodding? It's your community group. It's like when I drive the Land Rover, when I'm out on my Land Rover, you give the L wave. So you're driving. For loser. No, for Land Rover. What up, loser? What up, losers? But you wave to other Land Ro wave. So you're driving. For Loser. No, for Land Rover. What up, Loser? What up, Losers?

But you wave to other Land Rovers. And you don't do it to anyone else, only people in Land Rovers. Not when you're in your Land Rover. You just do it to Land Rovers. I had a friend with a Jeep, and they get very excited about waving to other Jeep users. Yeah, yeah, they get. I couldn't keep up. I drive a Mazda.

There's a lot of them around. And the Mazda, you'd have to take both hands off the wheel to do an M. And then there's just a bunch of Mazdas crashing into each other. Mazdas all over the place. But I was just like, it's a weird, I didn't think cyclists had like a nod. Every wheeled community has a nod. Did you sort of feel indoctrinated into the cyclist society and you were like, I'm not one of you. I'm not one of you.

I'm not a hard outside. I'm just out here for a little, you know, lovely afternoon cycle for fitness. Okay, for fitness reasons, not for travel reasons. Not for travel reasons. It's just weird. I was like, I don't want to be in the naughty, winky group. It's weird.

It's just, don't do it. Like, just go to your destination and that's it. Oh, how dare they. So you're just head down, don't look at me, I'm going from A to B. I'm looking at the view, yeah. No, I'm like this with walking. I'll always say, morning, afternoon, you know, you've got to state the time of the day, evening, afternoon,

as you walk past each other. And it's the same when you're sort of in a narrow street and one car lets the other pass. You've got to give the two-finger salute. The world communities are always waving to each other. And there'd be heaps of, don't Mazdas, don't Mazda, not your Mazda, because that's just run of the mill.

Oh, Megan had, what was that, MX-5. Yeah, and they all flashed their lights because some of the lights would be like, but I'm not allowed to take part because my lights are just on off. Yeah, no, you're just a Mazda. You're not an MX-5. No.

Branch of the Mazda family. This is what I wanted to ask this morning. Do you have like a wave tradition? Like a community wave? Yeah, like do you always wave or toot to the same car? Or like bus drivers do it? Of course they do. But do they do it only the bus drivers say no?

Or other buses? Every bus. Every bus. Truckies do it. It's a sign of respect. Of course they do. But do they do it only the bus drivers say no? Or other buses? Every bus. Every bus. Truckies do it. It's a sign of respect to your truckies. Truckies are big on the flash flash wave. Yeah, let's tip it off. Fingers up like that. So yeah, do you have a wave tradition? Like maybe you wave

always at the same car or the same company? Company vans? I bet they all wave to each other. But that's the thing, if you're not in Right, you company vans? I bet they always to each other. But that's the thing. If you're not in, like, you can't do the Land Rover wave when we're in the Hyundai. I try and Sade always tells me off. She's like, they don't want to wave to you.

You're in a South Korean-made vehicle. Right. Not a very staunchly Land Rover. I'm like, I just want to be friends with them. Is Sade embarrassed when you do it in the old Land Rover? No, she knows that that's part and parcel of going somewhere in the Land Rover. And then how do you feel if you do, also I want to hear from people, how do you feel when you do the

wave tradition and somebody in the community, like me on the bike yesterday, doesn't care or want a part of it at all? I fume. And so a couple of cyclists yesterday when I was out for a bike just gave me a little bicycle community nod, like a hey, and I'm like. You're in a bike just gave me a little bicycle community nod,

like a, hey. And I'm like, huh? You're in a community now. I'm in a, yeah. I mean, I don't know. I haven't really noticed this much before, to be honest, every now and again. How often are you out there cycling? Quite a bit. But they like looking at what bike you're riding as well.

That's a thing. Oh. It's weird. Oh, really? Yeah. It's like if you're riding one of those bike barn brands, they're not going to give you the time of day. But if you're running an Avanti... Oh, I don't know. Is that a

good one? Avanti? Yeah. Only because I know it. I assume it's a well-known bike brand. So we want to know if you've got a cute little wave tradition with people in the same community, same cars, same transport, whatever. We'll take some calls. Rose, good morning.

Good morning. Now, do you ride a motorbike? I do indeed. God, that's scary. No, it's great. It's so much fun. Okay. And so what, do you have a cute little wave or something you do when you pass another

motorcyclist? Yeah. So pretty much if you don't wave or nod at other motorcycles that you're passing, then you're just plain rude. Don't take your hand off the motorcycle. It's okay. You can ride with one hand. No.

Use ACC stats. Say otherwise. You might have been a rebel. Or you just lift your finger. Or you just lift your finger. I think I do like it cool because I reckon if I had a motorcycle helmet It would be like Matt Black It would be real sexy

Honestly I've had someone dab at me before on the way past Like it's crazy That's a two handed action People do it it's a thing Okay that's ridiculous I just do a helmet nod I flash the light Do you ever just give the headlight a little flash

No because your lights are consistently on. Like, you can't turn motorbike lights off. Who knew? You can't just, like, flash it, per se. So they are safe after all. Wow. Can you high beam them? You can, but then you're just going to also be blind to the poor guy.

Wow, that is crazy. Okay, Rose. I like how she's worried about blinding someone with a flash of a light in the middle of the day, but the guy dabbing wasn't a problem. Jess, you have a tractor wave to other tractor drivers. Yep. Yep. So is this when you're doing that thing when you're driving 10km on the road,

holding up all the traffic? No, we actually do between 40 and 50km. If we go any faster, it gets a bit scary. So we like to keep it slow. Keep it slow. Keep it safe. Keep it slow. So how does the tractor wave go if you pass another tractor driver?

Well, that depends on what we're doing. So if it's your mate, you know, you get the full handout. If it's just someone that you pass and that's driving a tractor, it's like, yeah, mate, give a finger flick. Yeah. Yeah, mate. Nice. And do you judge your tractor as well?

I bet you do. Hell yeah. Yeah. What brand of tractor are you driving? New Holland. Oh! Big blue! Big blue!

Big blue. Sean Deere. Oh, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. Whoa! Whoa! We don't talk about the bloody greens in here, mate. I don't even know anything about tractors.

Dylan, what's your secret wave? Oh, the nod. It's a nod. So who's your nod to? People's dreadlocks. So you have dreadlocks and it's like an appreciation thing? So you're walking through the shop, you see someone's dreadlocks and it's like you've known them your whole life.

Really? It's like a brotherhood. Yeah, it is. Just a little nod. Six times out of ten, you know, it's Chabot up to. And then do you know where to? Get any? Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, okay, nice. Brilliant, Dylan, thanks for your call, some text messages. So, okay, nice. That's awesome. You're moving, you know? Brilliant, Dylan. Thanks for your call. Some text messages. And that's what you may be listening and not knowing you're part of this community, but you now are obligated to wave.

Every truck driver should wave to every other truck driver. If you don't wave, you're a wanker. If you give a massive wave, you're an absolute legend. But you've been waving all day if you were driving from, like, Wellington to Auckland. That's part of being a truck driver, baby. It's like a cramp in your wrist. I'd just get a plastic flappy hand that was motion activated by trucks. Somebody said, my partner and I hired a moving truck when we were moving housing.

After we moved, we drove it around for a little while because we just wanted to do truck driver waves to truck drivers. Oh my God. That's really cool. Wow. Lots of truck drivers messaging Oh, my God. That's really cool. Wow. Lots of truck drivers messaging in. You've got to wave. Bus drivers will even include the bus drivers. Okay.

Somebody else said, regarding rows in the motorcycles before, Harley-Davidson riders only wave to other Harley-Davidson riders. They don't wave to your Suzuki's and your Triumphs. Really? No. Elitist? I am very elitist. Somebody said, I was with my old man in his Range Rover one day,

and I waved to a Land Rover, and he told me not to do that again. Apparently Range Rover drivers, sounds like they consider themselves a better breed of Rover. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Instagrammer Rachel Reckenbach, she's an artist, has shared the secrets to Instagram's success. Now, she had a hefty following, I'd say, of 78,000 people when she received an email from Instagram asking if she wanted some help

in building her audience. And she accepted it. She was curious. And this sort of pro came and helped her build her Instagram followers substantially and gave her all of these tips. And then her Instagram following went off the charts. And everyone was messaging her saying, how on earth have you done this? And so she wrote a blog post about it.

And it's been- She's cut the other person because the other person obviously was making money off teaching people how to make- Yeah, but he works at Instagram. Like he's doing fine. This is an artist. This is a painter.

Right, gotcha. An illustrator. Right. And then so she wrote up a blog and that's been shared nearly 200,000 times. And here's the info she received. Okay. She asked him how many photos and videos

she'll be posting to her main feed to grow followers. Three a week, which she was told. How often should she be posting Instagram stories? Eight to ten times a week. Okay, so that's one a day. But at least two times a day.

Preferably at least two times a day. What? Wouldn't you just get sick of... I've got nothing to say. What about posting longer videos to Instagram TV, one to three per week? And he said that consistency was crucial, but the main thing was it's all about the reels.

I haven't done a reel. So reels is Instagram's take on TikTok, right? It is indeed. It's there going up against them. Yeah, so they came up with their own version of it, basically, which is reels. Now, I've never done a reel either. I've done stories.

At the risk of sounding like your dad. How do you do a reels? Well, you've got to get good at it because four to seven reels a week, that's the golden ticket. So you've got to be posting on your main Instagram page a couple of posts, three posts a week. Three posts a week.

And then three to four reels. Yep. A couple of stories a day. A couple of stories a day. That's a lot of content. Yeah. Oh, God. I don't have that much.

And then something like a video to Instagram TV, one to three per week. Oh, jeez. So that as well. So longer ones. Yes, but I mean, you've got to think that now, this woman, after learning all these skills and growing her following, this is her full-time job now. How many people has she got now?

Because she started at 78,000, right? Yeah, it doesn't actually say here. I'll have a look. Look up her thing. Because she... And then if it's not much, well... Screw her, eh? Yeah, she doesn't know anything.

She said that, you know, she came out sharing all this information she'd received and that Okay, now look. She had 78,000. Oh no, sorry. Here you go. Here you go. Oh no, no, no. Yeah, she had 78,000

followers. Yeah. And she got all this advice, which I've just given you. Don't get too excited because now she's got 81 followers. Yeah, no bullshit. That's too much work. Too much work for 3000 followers. Yeah, no. Nah. No way, buddy. How many posts are we making? Like

20 in a week? Oh, for what? Nothing. And it's grown her like 3000 followers. And is that brought her instant happiness? If we're saying it's a lot of content, if you're putting more content than that on Instagram,

this is a nice way of telling you to choke it back because no one really cares what you're up to every minute of that second of the day. I'm really sorry. If you guys got excited, you had your pen and paper out

writing down these tips hoping to become the next Simone Anderson. I don't think it's going to happen based on this. If I open up your Instagram story and there's a million dots across the top, you're getting swiped away. All right? I'm not watching that. going to happen based on this. If I open up your Instagram story and there's a million dots across the top,

you're getting swiped away, all right? I'm not watching that. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, good day to you, my lords and ladies. Doth be pleasure. Oh, such grand pleasure, my liege. Now, Netflix has made an announcement. Bridgerton.

I know we've all heard of it and it looks like we've all bloody watched it because it turns out Bridgerton is Netflix's biggest show ever. And that's pretty amazing because what was their previous previous

record holder was The Witcher. Really? Yeah Did you even end up watching that? I watched the first episode and I was like Aaron digested it at a rapid rate and he really loved it I didn't watch it Not a Henry Cavill fan? I thought you'd be right into Cavill

He's a big lady who grows a wonderful beard He's got a nice hairy chest I love big men with beards Yeah Well there you go So more than 82 million households tuned in to Bridgerton in its first 28 days. That is crazy. Is that including people that leech off people's logins?

There's some caveats to point out. They don't really say how they measure it to any great detail. Yeah. But a household, they count it as one account. Okay. So there might be multiple profiles on that account. Right. Could be using that account.

And the way that they count it is that they have to tune in to at least one partial episode. So they don't have to have digested the entire series to hit these numbers. So 82 million people gave it a go. Okay. They don't say how many people actually lasted right to the end. But it is crazy.

So 200 million subscribers on Netflix, 40% of them watched Bridgerton. That is insane. It hit number one in 83 countries around the world. And that doesn't count the people that pirated it. No, no. It would have just downloaded it. Yeah.

Exactly. There's such huge numbers. Now, I've voiced this in the last two weeks quite a lot. I loved it. It's like a soap opera set in oldie daisies. You still haven't given it a go, Vaughn? No, I have not. The wife? Do you not like saucy

period pieces? I'm a huge fan. But you do love the repair. It's like the repair shop. I love the repair shop. Yeah, it's like that, but they don't repair anything. Well, that's the main part of the repair shop. The repairing. Otherwise it would just be the shop. It's like the repair shop, but they don't repair anything. Well, that's the main part of the repair shop. The repairing.

Otherwise, it would just be the shop. It's like the repair shop, but they sleep with each other. And they sleep with each other good. Do they fix old clocks? There are old clocks. Do they fix them? Do they show the inner workings of them? Yes.

Probably. Yes, absolutely. They show the inner workings of a lot of things. Does an old person turn up the end and like cry because they haven't seen it in working order for 40, 50 years? How much more do you need to be convinced other than 76 million households? No, that's what Vaughan will do. He'll do the opposite of the general populace.

It's why you haven't seen Titanic. Nah. You haven't seen Titanic? Nah. Because everybody went and Vaughan's like, well, I'm not going to then. Oh, I did that with the Big Mac. I never ate a Big Mac.

They went crazy and I went, I'm just never going to try one in my life. You never ate a Big Mac? No, Jono and Ben actually made me eat a Big Mac once. When did... When you say the Big Mac went, like, I never had a Big Mac, and then all of a sudden everybody was into Big Macs. Like, when did you grow up? The 30s?

Big Macs have always been a big deal. I genuinely never knew that the Big Mac was a big deal at all because they just weren't. I was a nuggy girl. Right, yeah, right. And then everyone was down with the Big Macs and it was just everywhere. It wasn't this magical day when everyone came down with the Big Macs.

So I've had one Big Mac and I ate it on the radio. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, it starts Monday night on TVNZ2 at 7.30. It is The Bachelorette. And we're joined in studio by The Bachelorette herself, Lexi Brown. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Are you excited for Monday's first episode?

You got a sneak peek this week with the launch party. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't seen anything. They haven't shown me a single thing. So when I got to see that little clip at the launch party, it, I haven't seen anything. They haven't shown me a single thing. So when I got to see that little clip at the launch party, it was so amazing and it's made me feel way more excited. I was excited, but I think I was

a little bit nervous, but seeing some of it and I was like, oh, I need to see more. I saw a little peek of it on the social meds. I didn't go to the party. I believe I wasn't invited. So I had to watch little clips on Instagram and people were sharing some of the trailer.

And I want to say, I saw a lot of kissing, Lexi. Yeah, it really looks like there's a lot of kissing going on. I agree. It was Pash City up in there. Yeah, I had like a family chat and my auntie was like, oh, I've seen the promo, lots of kissing. I was like, oh my God. And this is before I'd seen it.

You know, they've just put some of the really good bits in there. I had a great time. What did your family think of when you said, I'm going to join The Bachelorette, I'm going to be The Bachelorette? I think everyone just thought it was hilarious. And they were kind of like, that is classic. Not because I care so much about romance and love, but more because I'm just always doing stupid things.

You know, like I'm always off on an adventure and they're like, oh, she's doing that now. And then with this one, they were like, oh my God, of course you are. Yeah. What made you go, I'm going to apply? I'd come home from overseas. I was single again and I was kind of twiddling my thumbs,

thinking like, what am I going to do with myself? And you know what paid ads are like on social media, they just harass you. And so I just got showed this application thing, like every scroll. And then one day I was just like, yeah, fine. And I just filled it in, had a laugh, and then I got a call back. So you said, Hayley said there's lots of kissing. Auntie said, God, you did lots of kissing. By the way, having an auntie in a family chat, that's too wide a field for the family chat. I'm not talking to my auntie that regularly.

Oh, really? I have a very wide-reaching, close family, and the bachelorette chat is very inclusive. It's lit up with auntie. From Monday, it's going to be on fire. Yeah, it has been so far as well. Auntie Deidre's not too conservative or anything. No.

With the kissing, had you ever seen yourself kiss before? No. So I am a little terrified because even in the sneak peeks, you can't really see what's going on there. I'm like, what do I look like when I kiss? Is it weird? Will I like it? Like, are my eyes open?

I don't know. I always keep my eyes open. Do you? Yes. I don't know if I do. But I've never been with an eyes open kiss. And my wife, she shuts her eyes. Probably did not have to see this horrific face. I don't know if I do But I've never been with an eyes open kisser My wife she shuts her eyes

Probably did not have to see this horrific face But if you're an open eyed kisser And you're kissing another person with open eyes That's horrible Ideally you just want one open eyed kisser And then you're fine And then you're fine You both open your right eye You could give that a go Especially with your vertigo You. And then you're fine. And then you're fine because no one really knows. You both open your right eye.

You could give that a go. Because then you want to see each other's eyes so much. Well, especially with your vertigo, you want to keep one open, Hayley. Yeah, I've got vertigo at the moment. Yay. So if you see me spinning off this chair, that's why. I know you're not allowed to tell us too much.

Who did you choose in the end? Well, let me tell you. But tell us a little bit about the boys. We met some of them. Seemed like very nice guys. Yeah. I had such a great time with the boys. We met some of them. Seemed like very nice guys. Yeah. I had such a great time with them. They were a real great bunch. You know, there's a couple of

wild cards. Duds. Let's go with duds in there. But overall pretty awesome bunch and I had such a blast with them. I just, I wish they could have come to the launch party. I want to hang out with everyone, but we're not allowed, you know. Well, then isn't it the launch party?

No, they keep them away. Oh. Because then, you know, someone might see your whole head. And like someone has a drink and starts talking rubbish, you know, so like they keep us apart. Right. Yeah. And were there lads, you don't have to give names,

but were there lads who would have appealed to Lexi at different stages throughout her life? Is there like the lad that 18-year-old Lexi would have gone for versus? No, I haven't really thought about an age thing, no. Right. I think it would have been similar no matter how old I was. Right, your taste in men has been. You found your type and you stuck with them.

Kind of, but then it's that whole thing of like, well, if you keep doing the same thing, you're going to keep getting the same results. So you've got to just do something new. Jump right back in the interview. You said why you did it. Just before we talked about paid ads, you said you were single again.

Was one of your initial thoughts like, he'll see this? Oh, no. Not at all. Yeah, he'll see me glammed up to the nines. He'll see me open-eyed, sloppy kissing, and he'll realise what he's missing. No, that didn't cross my mind at all.

Okay, that's okay. That's good. She's a good girl. Can't wait till he sees herself kissing her. Oh, my God. I know. I mean, is it going to be enjoyable? It's not going to be enjoyable, is it, watching myself kiss?

Do you know what? Just watch one and then go from there, I reckon. The first one's always going to be the? It's not going to be enjoyable is it? Watching myself. Do you know what? Just watch one and then go from there I reckon. Yeah. The first one's always going to be the worst one. Yeah. Yep. That is true

and then after that I'll just it'll normalise won't it? Oh there's me again. Kiss me more boys. Always your own harshest critic as well. Oh my god yes.

The first time I saw a promo I cried. Oh. I was so upset. I just it was such a shock. I hated it but I've done was such a shock I hated it but I've done a 180

now I love seeing all the promos it just takes a while to like come I don't know what that was I remember on Art Green's

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Friday Flashback. But it is a Friday tradition, and it's my pick this week, my first Friday Flashback pick for 2021. Now, I quite often pick the good ones, Hayley. When I did it last week for the very first time ever, I felt a great deal of pressure. There's a lot of pressure.

Huge pressure. Because if you pick a clanger, people tell you. Oh my God, it's my pick next week. I have the Waitangi Day Long Weekend Group Toot. Now the Long Weekend Group Toot Friday flashback song is pressure times a thousand. It is. That's next week. But today

It's certified diamond. It spent six weeks in the US at number one. It earned over 1.9 billion YouTube views for its music video. Pretty amazing considering... So these dudes would have made bank off this song then. Oh, absolutely. Now, this song was number one in New Zealand and also in the end of year New Zealand charts.

It was the biggest song of the year. Of 2011. Yes. I have no idea what this is going to be. And it's 10 years old. 10 years feels so long ago. Oh, my God. It's LMFAO Party Rock Anthem, which turned 10 this week. It's your Friday Flashback on CDM.

Every day I'm It's your Friday flashback on CDM, LMFAO Party Rock Anthem, the biggest song in New Zealand in 2011, and this week marks the 10-year anniversary of the release of that song. Wow. I feel sweaty, I feel excited, I'm ready for a great day. Well, I totally forgot I had a shuffle and then halfway through the song. It came back to you, didn't it? I was transported back to 2011. Yeah, and what a sight

that was for us here in the studio. Absolutely. Shuffling. You're a little exhausted there, are you? Yeah, well, I'm not 28 anymore, am I? When that song came out. Okay. Some text messages about, and really about that being 10 years old. Somebody said,

this takes me back to my 14th birthday party, razzed up on my sixth raspberry lemonade, trying to shuffle. So that's at the young end, not 24 now. You think about that.

14 when that came out, 24. Somebody said, this is 10 years old, now I feel old at 50. This was 40 when I came out. And somebody else said, I just tried shuffling

for the first time in 10 years and I've hurt myself. I hope that we read a story from ACC in six months and there's a spike in shuffling accidents. A huge spike. And they don't know why at the end of January there was.

Liking it, liking it. Such a great way to start a Friday. I didn't expect to enjoy that, but I did. Good work. And someone said that song was easily the low light of my week. Oh, highs and lows. Highs and lows. Can't please them all. Ebbs and flows.

Ebbs and flows. Yeah. All right. 13 minutes past eight. A woman on TikTok. We love to tear down women on TikTok. This woman. I just don't hold back by tearing down a woman for TikTok.

I'll tear them down on all the social media. Tear them down on the middle of the bloody street. Absolutely. Just rip them down for doing nothing. Well, this woman posted a couple

of TikTok videos of the way she makes her tradie boyfriend's lunch every day. Have you guys seen the TikTok trend of the folding of the flat wrap?

Yes. Yes. And then grilling it? Have you seen this? Is that a quesadilla? Yeah. Effectively. So you get a circular wrap and you put one cut in it. And then grilling it. Have you seen this? Is that a quesadilla? Yeah. Effectively. So you get a circular wrap and you put one cut in it.

And you fold it. Into quarters. You put something on, you fold it. You put something on, you fold it. And it's like a triangular quesadilla sandwich. So she did that. I mean, this wrap she's made him, it's got greens, it's got cheese, it's got meats, it's got veggies. She's packing it up.

She takes a video of him, you know, gratefully. He's not going to have to leave the building site for the sushi of the day, is he? No, he's not. He's not leaving the building site for the sushi of the day. He's getting a pie on the way to work and he's picking up another pie to eat later on. That's why she's probably doing it. She doesn't want him to eat unhealthy. So this is the point.

She doesn't want him to eat unhealthy. And now people are calling her out for mothering him. And people are saying, is that your boyfriend or your child? Would you change his diaper too? Yeah, this is confronting for you, isn't it? Someone said get him to make it himself for F's sake. And then, you know, I read this and I thought, hang on. Do I do a bit of this?

And I reflected yesterday on Aaron walked in the door and he took off his- This is your fiance. This is my fiance, Aaron. I do talk about him like everyone who's listening knows him. My fiance, Aaron, came in the door a long day and he kicked off his shoes as he does and I picked them up and I placed them on the shoe rack and he peels off his socks and I took the smelly socks off him and I placed them in the basket and I whipped him up a gin and tonic and then I served his dinner.

Now this happened yesterday or the 1950s. Yeah. Then I noticed he had Mr. He's got curly hair, Mr. Patch at the back. Yeah. I gave it a little shave for him. And I realised I'm a little bit guilty of mothering my boyfriend. A little bit. I like to look, little bit guilty of mothering my boyfriend. A little bit? I like to look, I like to keep caring for my man.

But also like you, I get this with the shoes. You want the shoes in the shoe rack. They don't have to live there. I'm happy with them living beside the door. No, but I think it's a different thing when girlfriends do that sort of passive aggressively. I'm doing it because I just want him to put his feet up. He's had a hard day.

This does sound like... You want your man to relax. I do. And you know, I help him sort of choose what clothes to wear. I do. Do you help him choose or are you telling him what clothes to wear? I let him feel like he's chosen the outfit.

I would ask you, Vaughn, if your wife, Sade, mothers you, but we deal with you at work, so we know that's... I need mothering. We know that you do need constant mothering. Executive intern Anya, do you have to mother your boyfriend?

I do, particularly around Christmas and family birthdays. I'm always the one that goes and gets presents on behalf of us and wraps them up and does the whole thing. For his family? Yeah. Oh, no.

Yeah, well, I also finish work at midday, you know, shops are open, it's a convenient time for me to go, you know, and so I like to have a madam that way. Pick yourself up a little something? Exactly. You don't make him his lunch? Oh no. I'm not getting up at four o'clock and bloody making him a sandwich. Come on, make it the night before.

So I wanted to ask you guys out there, if you're guilty of mothering your partner, or fathering, I guess. Fathering, yeah, maybe it goes the other way as well. Parenting your lover, your partner, your husband. But you want to obviously do this. You like doing it. I do.

And there's nothing wrong with that. I do. I'm a carer. Acts of service is how I give love. And, yeah, I don't think of it as mothering. Maybe I get a bit mad sometimes. That's what somebody messaged in, saying it's their love language. Yeah, acts of service is a love language.

Yeah, they make four lunches every night. My husband's, my 28-year-old son's, and my 25-year-old son's. Well, that's actually mothering. That's actually a mother mothering. That really is, yeah. So we're talking about if you're guilty of mothering your partner. Yeah, a woman on TikTok videoed herself making lunch for her partner and she's being dragged online a little bit for babying him

and I admitted that I'm potentially a little bit guilty of doing the same. You do a lot of that stuff. I do. Which is fine and you like it. I do. Some text messages in on the subject of parenting your partner. Somebody leads with, okay, so I'm imagining what they did. They wrote this message and then when they finished,

they went back to the start of the message and prefixed it with, okay, this sounds bad written down. Okay. I make my partner's lunch each morning. I set out his uniform for work, make sure all the rubbish is out of his van before he leaves, and I also cook his dinner and do all his washing. But it sounds like if she doesn't do that,

he's not going to do any of that. Yeah. But also, it doesn't sound like it would worry him. Maybe it would. I shouldn't speak. But in my mind, it wouldn't worry him if there was rubbish in the van, if he's just going to leave it there anyway. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's always that thing of, like, what would happen? If she didn't put his uniform out, he'll probably find his uniform. Yeah, or he'd just wear the dirty one from the day before. Probably. Ashley, are you guilty of mothering your partner? Yes, I am. So he is a dairy farmer and I work out of town. And so he doesn't kind of get in until 8 o'clock in the morning.

So I'll, like, make his breakfast. He has 12 Weet-Bix in his Weet-Bix bowl. So I'll put it out on the bed gently. Stop, Ashley. That's too many Weet-Bix. That's too much fibre. That's way too much fibre. He just must shit a Weet-Bix.

Holy crap. I'm pretty sure it's causing him like mild gluten intolerance Yes Mild gluten intolerance So what you But is it too soggy by the time he gets to it? Oh no I don't add everything I just like stack them up in his Weet-Bix bowl

And then I leave like the raisins beside for him to add And then he gets the milk out and makes it all to do that Wow that is amazing Ashley no And so if you didn't do that would he struggle to do that. Wow, that is amazing. Ashley, no. And so if you didn't do that, would he struggle to do that himself? Oh, no, I think he would do it, but I don't know.

I just do it to be nice. I think you should start cutting back the wheat bags. 12 wheat bags. The man's eaten an entire wheat field every week. Ashley, thanks. You call Hayley. Are you guilty of mothering your partner? I am. Okay,

so what do you do? I get up every morning and I set out his uniform. I make his lunch and I take any rubbish out of his van. Oh, we read the text. What kind of rubbish is he leaving in his van? Oh, just

stuff from the day, like little wrappers from his lunch or drink bottles or anything like that. Are you doing it because you want to be helpful? Are you hunting? Are you hunting for clues? Clues. Clues of his shenanigans.

It's just a habit I got into a few years ago, and I haven't got out of it. Wow, does he know how lucky he is? Because this is, like, an amazing service. I hope he does. Yeah, okay. He better. He better. Hayley, thanks for your call. Michaela,

your boyfriend mothers you, so you're on the receiving end of this. Yeah, so I'm currently working full-time while he's on uni break, so he's doing all the housework and making dinners when I get home, so I don't have to do anything. So I'm very grateful to be mothered.

Wow. As soon as you get home and it's all cooked and cleaned. Yeah, basically. It's living the life. Yeah. Oh, it is. I wouldn't be complaining at all. That sounds amazing.

God, no. Yeah, definitely. Brilliant. Michaela, thanks. You called some text messages. When we got married, I offered to make my husband lunch the evening before. He said no. He wants it freshly made in the morning. Henceforth, he makes his own lunch.

Okay. Wow. He could have. I kind of get like if there's a soggy, you don it freshly made in the morning. Henceforth, he makes his own lunch. Okay. Wow. He could have. I kind of get like if there's a soggy, you don't want a soggy sandwich. Especially if it's got like cucumber, tomato. You wouldn't be able to cucumber the night before. No, no, no. Or avocado, you know, it goes all brown.

You've got to put that between like some processed ham. Yes, you do. So it doesn't seep into the bread. Deeply processed. Yeah. A lot of people saying, this all sounds great, but have any of these people got children? Because then when they come along,

you're picking up after them. Yeah, a lot of people tweeting in on the back of that article that I read are saying, while I'm making my children's lunch, why don't I just make another one for my husband at the same time? So it kind of makes sense, right?

Bulk? A bulk make? A bulk, yeah. Making it in bulk. You're doing it already? And somebody said they saw their husband's FBoss account and realised how much money he was spending on lunch. So I tried one week making his lunch

and we saved so much money. Yeah. It just makes sense now. Save the money. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. You were very, very close. I just see a little end bit.

Yeah, very close. A lot better. Thank you. Thank you for the very swift review. Today's fact of the day is about mobile telephone networks. Oh, okay. 5G we're up to. I know.

5G. Because sometimes 5G will pop up in the little corner and I'm like, ooh. Are we on it now? I know by work is one of the spots. No, because I'm on the Wi-Fi. I'm going to turn off the Wi-Fi. Yeah, I'm on 5G. Oh, look at that spots. No, because I'm on the Wi-Fi. I'm going to turn off the Wi-Fi. Yeah, I'm on 5G. Oh, look at that.

There you go. I'm on 4. Bill Gates, vaccines. Quick, turn it off. Go back to the Wi-Fi. How do I get the 5? I'm on full 4. What phone are you on?

iPhone what? X. Oh, hon. It's a bit beyond you at this moment. Okay. It's okay. Don't worry about it. It's hard out there.

For a pimp. For a pimp like me. So, today's fact of the day about mobile phones, generations. Of course, we've got 5G now. Yep. 4G, the one before that. Yep. 3G was the first to carry data.

Or 2G? I think 3G was data. to carry data. Or 2G? I think 3G was data. Yeah. But it'd be very slow. Occasionally you'll pop onto 3G. I pop onto 3G every now and then still. So 2G's gone. Yep.

2G was the network, the first network that you could send a PICS on, I believe. Oh, okay. Or any sort of multimedia messaging. Right. 1G was very old school. Telephones, the end. Telephone calls, the end. And 0G was radio telephone communication.

So real budget basically picking up. No Gs. Somebody else is there. No Gs. No Gs at all. Today's fact of the day is the world's only remaining 1G network is in Russia. Okay. Of course it is.

Have they not upgraded to 5G? They have. Oh, right. They've got various options, but they think there's enough people still using the Mobira Cityman 150 and Nokia's NMT 900 from 1989. That's the year I was born. That they are keeping the 1G network up.

God, you'd never be able to buy a phone now that lasted any more than 10 years, six years, five years. My last iPhone was three years and I was like every, after the first year, I was basically like, well, this thing's going to stop working in a minute.

Yeah. The battery will go, yeah. Yeah, but it lasted for like three years. The only reason I replaced it is because the screen broke and then the screen that replaced it was rubbish because I went for the cheap option. I'm so pretty surprised. But yeah, Skylink is the operator of Russia's 1G network.

Okay. And it is the only functioning 1G network in the world. Huh. So that's today's fact of the day. Russia has the world's only 1G telephone network. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yes! You did it. That was good. You did it. That took you two weeks. I'm so proud of myself. Two weeks and I've nailed that. You did it. Yes. You did it.

That was good. You did it. I took you two weeks. I'm so proud of myself. Two weeks and I've nailed that. You did it. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan with Hayley Sproul. Refund your date. Sorry, Beyonce. She's here. I want to apologize to Michelle O'Kelly, though. I simply shan't. She is here to apply for a refund of her date.

Let's call her the Date E. Amy, hello. Hi, guys. How are you? Good. So you've been on a horrible date. You'd like a refund. Tell us what happened.

Okay. So at first, I was really impressed. We met at a super fancy steakhouse for dinner. Hello. Oh, okay. Yeah, we were seated and the waiter came to take our meal order. But he asked what the special occasion was for our visit to the restaurant. My date quickly butts in with, we just got engaged.

No, but I see what he's trying to do. Yeah, he wants the freebies. He wants the bottle of shampoos. He wants the free pudding with happy engagement on it. We got that. Or you say it's someone's birthday and they give you a free cake. And they sing. Yeah.

Okay, sing for me. How did that go down? I was absolutely gobsmacked. Like, we'd just met for the first time. Yeah. He leans, like, over the table and he says to me, watch this, now we're getting free champagne. My man!

I like this guy already. I'm horrified. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, okay. Did you get free champagne? Yes. Come in! Come in! Come on, Amy, what's coming? Coming.

Come on, Amy. You're going to lighten up a little bit. Coming. Okay, so go on. Yes, I thought to myself, okay, I'll give this guy a chance. But then the dinner etiquette was horrible. Oh, right. You know, he started to tell me about how we could talk to ghosts and spirits.

Right. Okay. I tend to believe him, to be honest. He's probably all hopped up on champers, to be honest. Okay. Was he slurring? And then he goes on about his enlarged prostate. Okay.

Oh. Okay. That's not really doing a table discussion. See, he had me. God, he had me. I wanted you to get engaged to this guy, but now we're talking ghosts and prostates. Now I need to know, how did his prostate get enlarged? With a ghost.

It's living inside his prostate. Then the meal finished and the waiter came to clear the table and he brought over the dessert menu and the waiter's like, would you like dessert? Before I could even open my mouth, my date's like, no. He said no straight away. Yeah. I was shocked. Like, it's our first date.

You're supposed to impress me. Don't bloody tell me I can't have dessert. Yeah, exactly. Especially now that you're engaged. He can't control you now just because there's a ring on it. But then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a swipe card. A swipe card? Yeah, and he casually slides this swipe card to a hotel room across the table and says, you're the dessert.

Oh! Dude's got moves. Dude, get on board. You are the dessert. Oh, my God. Wow. That made my skin crawl. He started so strong.

He did. He did. Oh, no. Okay. And so how did that end? Well, it's not often that I'm speechless. I managed to blurt out, oh, my God, you are absolutely disgusting. Oh, wow.

And I went to leave but on my way out, I was stopped by management and they're like, you have to pay for the meal and I just wanted to get the hell out of here as quickly as possible while I didn't even think. I just paid for it and ran out the door. Meanwhile, he's still sitting at the table shocked as

hell because I haven't engaged in his dessert. Oh my gosh, you were on the menu. I never realised when I got home that I was like, I shouldn't have paid for his, oh, I should have just paid for mine. Yeah, you should have split the bill.

Right, so how much What's the damage? How much are you applying for for the bill. Right, so how much... What's the damage? What's the damage? How much are you applying for for the refund? $172. Oh, okay. $172. Okay. Your date refund request has been...

Oh, it's been accepted. Oh! It's been accepted. I just fit it into the machine. The machine said yes. And where did you get this machine from, Vaughn? I made it. Okay, out of sound effects.

In my garage. Okay. Congratulations to Amy, $172. Woo! Oh, my gosh. Congratulations. I'd honestly like to know how many concerts worked for him though. I'd like to know that you did it.

Oh, well, if you're listening, if he's out there and you like to eat women for dessert, phone us up and let us know your hit rate. Yeah, true. Thank you, Amy. Thank you for sharing. Thanks, guys. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The Long Weekend Group 2 Treat.

Get into his mouth. She's getting right on in there. Okay, you need more context around that. She's crawling in.

She's getting in there. Yep, she's going to schlop on the rubber gloves. I was going to say, you snap on rubber gloves. You don't schlop on rubber gloves. What's inside them? That sounds like a heavily lubricated, yeah, you're putting on a rubber glove full of lubricant. Yes.

And she's going to shove her fingers in her mouth and rip out a tooth. Oh my. Because she is a mechanic. Dental assistant. A dental assistant. Thank you.

We got there. Yeah. So you're going to the place where she works to get a tooth ripped out. Yep. Today I'm going for an x-ray and then next week

it'll just be getting ripped out. Is it a whizzy or is it just Yeah, it's a very broken wisdom tooth that I've been suffering with for a couple months. I'm really sorry to hear that.

Thank you. My daughters are freaking out about their wisdom teeth. Why? They watched some YouTuber who got their wisdom teeth out and now they're freaking out. I was like, you don't have to worry about that. Don't worry. Don't start freaking out about your wisdom teeth

for like 10 years. No, no, no. They need to panic. It's important to develop a lifelong anxious streak to do anything teeth related. You need to tell them stuff like, if your room's not clean, with some teeth, sense that and poke through.

Crooked into the teeth right next to them. Yeah. And then they always ask, did you have yours out, Dad? I was like, no, surprisingly, my mouth was big enough to accommodate them. And that's why I'm wiser than your mother, because she had to have all four out. So listen to me.
