Sade was really keen for the baby to like her, but he was holding steadfast and not liking her. And I said, ha-ha, the baby hates you. And that really upset her. She talked to me about it in the car later. She said it wasn't very nice that I said that. It was one of those serious ones Where at the time she was like Don't say that

And then later on she's like It really upset me when you said that That baby hated me Why did she feel the need for the baby to like her?

No boys staying. No, no, no, no, no. No boys staying. Boys visiting? Yeah, boys visiting. Sneaking in. Door open. Door open visiting.

Door open visiting. And if you shut the door, did you lose the door? No, I didn't lose the door. Okay. Chris Perrin actually took the door off the hinges. I know people that lost their rights to privacy. Oh, gosh. It was pretty wild.

It was a wild time. No. There was one. I had a boyfriend when I was 16, a long-term boyfriend, first love. And we stayed at each other's house once. Yeah. I stayed at his when there was a slip around Eastbourne. And if there was ever a slip in Eastbourne, you couldn't get in, you couldn't get out.

So I was in town. My parents were in Eastbourne. I was like, I guess I'll just stay at Benjamin's house. And they were like, that's fine. My mum rung his mum and was like, this is what's going to happen. And his mum was a good Christian woman. So she put me on a little fold out. Oh, yeah.

She's on God's duty to keep the P out of the V. Yeah, indeed. Let's just say somehow she was unsuccessful. That's God's life. Really? And then there was once where we went to a party in Eastbourne, and Ben was like, maybe I'll just stay at your place. And my parents were away, but my brother wasn't.

And he was like, get your sorry ass on that couch oh really so he was he was watching again on the good lord's duty unsuccessful good lord see this is what you've got to look forward to where there's a will there's a way with teenagers electric fences zm hit music lives here flesh fauna megan the podcast good morning ZM.

Happy Monday. How was everybody's weekend? I missed you guys a bit. Did you? Did you? Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. Oh, I missed you too. I missed you too. I choked on it as it came out.

Say it like you mean it. So you guys are still a novelty to me. You know what I mean? It's still fresh. It's honeymoon period for me. Another few weeks, you'll be like, sick of the sight of them. Two days is not enough.

It did go fast. It felt fast. It was a fast weekend. So short week, Easter on Friday, which means we've got the long weekend group two. On Thursday. Which I'm excited about. It's also a long weekend group two, daylight savings double.

Yes. Because daylight savings changes this weekend. And we've got a horrible week of weather across the country. It goes back. We get an hour. Yeah, that's the only good thing. It's easier to wake up in the morning. It's slightly easier to wake up in the morning.

Slightly. Is that on Sunday? Yep. I'm going to a wedding on Sunday. That's risky. What if people just don't show up? No, but they'll be early. Oh, yeah.

If anything, they'd be early. Well, that's good. Get started. Get started early. Warm it up. And then they'll go away. Oh that's good. Get started. Get started early. Warm it up. And then they'll go away and forget to come back. No, they won't do that. No. They might do that. They're not doing that. Alright, the top

six coming up on the show. Yeah, the top six ways to tell your workmates went to splore at the weekend. Oh yeah, I saw a lot of this on Instagram stories over the weekend. Yeah. Splore. It was a big weekend. Splore, Pride Parade. Yeah.

That's just Auckland-based stuff. I'm sure other parts of the country did stuff as well, but I'm not familiar with that. Do you think Wellington had a big weekend? Oh, Wellington had Cuba-duper. Cuba-duper. Cuba-duper. Cuba-duper. Cuba-duper.

Like super-duper. Like super-duper, but Cuba-duper. Cuba-duper. That looked like fun. It's so much fun. What's the theme of but Cuba Duper. Cuba Duper. That looked like fun. It's so much fun. What's the theme of that? Acid. Crazy Wellington acid.

Acid in a long black. I need to get Dua Lipa there. Cuba Duper. Dua Lipa. Cuba Duper. Cuba Duper. Dua Lipa. Dua Lipa from Cuba Duper.

Scuba Duper. Scooby Doo. And Scooby Doo could do it. Scooby Doo could do something too. They could do a duet. Yeah. A Dua Lipa, Scooby DooDoo duet at Cuba Duper. All right, the top six coming up.

We've got a special guest joining us in studio soon. We do indeed. I'm glad I slapped a face on. We've got Teaks in studio. He's got a new album coming out. It was out on Friday. Oh, yes, of course. Out on Friday.

And he's going on tour. Very talented. So talented. The tone. Oh, he's got an amazing voice. Such an amazing voice. And it's early, so it'll be like boom. True.

All right, next on the show. Musty days. That's what we called it when we were at school. Well, the times are a-changin'. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Heretanga College in Upper Hutt. Hayley. I know it. Not too far from you Heretanga College in Upper Hutt. Hayley.

I know it. Not too far from you, of course, from Lower Hutt. Yeah, and... Don't. See, I've tripped you in your own trap there. You're from Eastbourne. Stop trying to make yourself seem more cultured. Which is technically part of Lower Hutt.

Well, is it? It's right around the corner. I have Hutt street cred because I grew up in the bay of Eastbourne. I'm from Eastbourne, but I do believe this is worth some Hutt street cred because I grew up in the bay of Eastbourne. I'm from Eastbourne but I do believe this is worth some hot street cred. Hirtanga College held its first Be Yourself Day and that is where you get to wear

your own clothes to school which when I went to school and I'm pretty sure it was still my daughter's school still called it this. Yeah. Muffdy Day. It was the biggest day of the term as i hated it oh i hated it because i didn't have cool clothes well i was you did no no in the first in my first year of high school because i went to a non-uniform primary school so it ain't no thing to wear your own clothes but when i i went to a very uh formal

private school with like a tie and a shirt and everything. So Mufti Day was a huge deal and I was a goth. So in my first year at high school, I very quickly became a goth. So Mufti Day was my chance to truly be thyself. And I would get all my little petticoats ready, my black petticoats, and I would layer upon themselves

and my black and white stripy socks. Layered petticoats. Oh my God upon themselves and my black and white stripy socks. Layered petticoats. Oh, my God. I'd forgotten about that. That was wild. That was wild. What a wild time. You would just go to op shops and get, like,

every black petticoat with lace on it that you could find and just go boom, boom, boom, layer them up. Did your mum, Patsy, think she'd lost you to the devil in drugs? No, I think that they found it immensely entertaining. Oh, wow. Yeah, she used to, like, go out with me when I would have my little gear on and stuff and say nothing. Really?

That's good. That's good because you know those parents that like strongly reacted to their kid doing that sort of stuff. It only made them entrench more. So, muftied at St. Margaret's was... Queen Margaret's. Queen Margaret's. Yeah.

Not sure. Better than the saint or not quite the saint? Yeah, it's better. Better. So, Queen Margaret's, you'd go full petticoat. Well, mufti, apparently the term mufti is an old term. It's actually a term for a Muslim cleric. Oh.

A mufti. And so the idea was that you would go in mufti clothing, meant that if you had a day off from, like being a military leader, you had to keep your uniform spick and span. This was the time of British colonisation, so you needed to establish your role of power and you needed to be in your military uniform and you'd be pressed and you'd be lovely. But on your day off, you would go for a more comfortable clothing

and that would be sort of like the robes or the relaxing, flowing, loose-fitting robes with some comfortable slippers that the Muslim clerics wore, and they were mufti. So you would have a mufti day where you would dress more like a mufti. Yeah, did they have to give a dollar as well to the school? A gold point donation. Which back then was worth a fortune.

Where did that money go? It's actually the massive school. Oh, we're doing this for the... Yeah, for the women animals. It's Mufti Day. Women animals. Just $2 coin for the lady animals. The blind lady animals.

Well, we did guide dog. We got a couple of guide dogs. I never saw receipts from the school actually depositing that money into whatever charity. Well, are you accusing your school? I'm just saying that schools are doing it very tough and they still are. It'd be very easy for a school just to pour that into the staff Christmas fund is all I'm saying. Absolutely, pop it into the staffer's biscuit account. Here's $10 for lady animals with needs and here's the rest for our Christmas function.

Yeah. Those lady animals, you don't want to put too much money. It puts a lot of pressure on our Christmas function. Yeah. Those lady animals, you don't want to put too much money. It puts a lot of pressure on the lady animals. Yeah. And they've got the, like you said, they've got the problems. So what going forward now, is this something all schools should probably be doing?

They just called it a be yourself day and they just said that no one complained, but they just looked into it which is a great, because I'd always wondered why it was called Mufti. Yeah, I had no idea. Never put any more thought to it. Yeah, I thought Mufti was, this is me,

I thought it was an English word that meant casual dress. Yeah, because my nana always called it civvies. Like you're going in civvies because of civilian clothing. Oh my God, what about Mufti police cars? They're going to have to have a new word for those. Just undercover. I mean, it's called undercover. It's called undercover police cars.

I don't think I've ever called them mufti police cars. I'd imagine the cops are wearing like a starter hat and a cool jacket and multi-layered petticoats. And they've probably given $2 for the lady animals cause too. It's a good cause. No more, you know, deserving cause in 2021 than the lady animals. They. It's a good cause. No more, no more, you know, deserving cause in 2021 than the lady animals.

They tick a lot of boxes. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, we have a very special guest in studio with us right now.

Teaks, welcome. Kia ora. Thanks for having me. Oh, thank you for, God, there's dulcet times.

My God, this is going to make my voice sound real dumb. Especially you two. I get really worried. Listen to this. Listen to this natural tone of my voice. It's back here.

When you come in, you're like... And everyone's car's like... The room is vibrating. Do it again. These two do get some comments about the pitch of their voice. Do you have a review for them? You don't have to come up to me I would rather

We came down to meet you right You don't have to tone up to meet us Horrible for everybody We are here to talk about your voice We are It's a lovely voice Tell us about the new album Something to Feel. Yeah.

So it came out on Friday. Been a long journey getting to this point. It's finally having an hour in the world. I have released it in three parts. So it was a staggered release and then Friday was I guess the last installment that we everything amalgamated

into one thing and one project. So yeah, it's a good place to be. That's exciting. That's arty though, you know what I mean? Like there's all sorts of album releases. You either do the like, surprise, Beyonce, there's an album. Yeah. Or you do the slow build up, but you did the three-parter.

Yes. The Peter Jackson, I think that's cool. Peter Jackson. Yeah, he always does a big long three-parter, doesn't he? It is indeed. And now you're going on tour, where are you headed? We're doing the main centres, so Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin. We're also doing Whanganui and Napier, I think.

So we're covering as much ground as we can with the bigger centres. And they're like theatres as well. Most of the places you're playing are like the old school theatres. Yeah, theatres. Venues that are special, I think the experience of the show will be special

because I think the space makes a big difference. So I'm excited for that. Auckland are doing the civics. And the album, what's the vibe? You're performing at these super, like, classic, classy venues. Are you going to go in and sort of fit in with that vibe? Is it like a mellow, cool, classy thing?

Or are you going to like tear the roof off? I'm not tearing the roofs off, but my shows are definitely the more like chill, you know, sit back and take it all in. You know, I mean, that's how I like to watch concerts too, just chilling and yeah. Is it loud enough that I could snack? I wouldn't want my loud snacking to just do it. I think a good snack would be fine.

There's definitely moments in the set that it would be quite like... Don't snack. Like I've got Maltesers in my mouth and I'm like... Pin drops. Maybe you could give a little heads up being like, hey guys, this next song is called, and it's not a snack song. It's not a snack friendly song.

I can possibly do that. Or maybe just like have like a program and a list of all your songs and then beside it, you know when you go to a place and it's like, this is when you can snack and this is when you can't. Snack break. And then like beside on menus, they have GF for gluten free.

This could be like snack friendly S-E-F yeah nice this is good this is amazing but you're like who else is playing with you

it's you there's a four piece four piece quartet so I have strings and I'm gonna have four bands so there's gonna be quite a big

crew on stage because my band's like at least eight people that's not including the at least eight people that's not including the quartet so yeah

that's I would feel so much pressure behind me having that like those amazing musicians you're like

hey guys I've written some new music I think it's pretty good I feel like that every time yeah straight up but that's good

that New Zealand keeps you grounded right if you're feeling the pressure to perform and then that ups your game. Have to, yeah, yeah. Awesome. Well, the tour is in June. It starts in Napier.

It goes through to Dunedin. All the details are at ZM Online. And Tix, what's your website? My website is thistix.com. So you can head there. With all the details there. Thanks so much for coming in. And congratulations on the album.

Thank you The Ever Given is still stuck This is the Cargo ship Huge cargo ship Wedged Taller than the Sky Tower Way taller

It's 400 metres long And the SkyTown's like 300 and something. Yeah. Have we talked about what it did before it got stuck? Yes. The penis at the GPS. A penis at the sea. The LCMB. Yeah.

Silly. And then apparently it was winds that put it off course and stuck it into the side. That's what they're saying. What do you mean winds, like working in. I was like, what did they do? Well, they finally called them back and they had to pull over to take the call.

And they got stuck in there. So have the people who are on the ship come off it? No, I think they're still on there because they're trying to refloat it. They've got the little diggers out. They've got tugboats. Why can't they just get another ship behind it to pull it? Has anyone thought of that? It's too heavy.

But get another big ship. Another big one. Imagine if the second one got stuck. Then put a rope or something. Yeah, you imagine. So you're saying empty the containers off one of the other really, really big, they call them golden class container freighters. Yeah. And then get that in there so

it's empty so it can use all its power to pull that one out. Well, that's what I was reading. That was the, that's the next option. If they couldn't refloat it at high tide with all the digging,

they're going to try and take some containers off of it, which will take even more time so it's not as heavy. Oh, right. So that might help it refloat. Hopefully they take the container

off of my Amazon order in it. I'm waiting a long time for a book that you recommended. It's coming all the way from the US. It's coming from in it. I'm waiting a long time for a book that you recommend it. It's coming all the way from the US. It's coming from the UK. Yeah, it is. Because that's the thing, anything coming from, what, Europe and the UK would go through that shipping channel

to get to Australia and New Zealand. So I think in the weeks to come, there's definitely going to be some short supply of things. And oil, apparently. Oh, really? I mean, there's a spike in petrol prices just due to supply going down because so many of those ships coming through are oil ships. Shocker.

Was somebody not paying attention? Like, have they looked at the crew? Like, they were drawing a dick and balls in the ocean on GPS. They don't sound serious, you know? They don't sound serious. Is there one captain of the ship or would it be a full crew who would take responsibility for getting the... Wow, I guess

the buck stops with the captain, right. But then if he's not on duty, you have another like a first officer or something, don't you? First mate. First mate? Isn't that ship talk? Yeah. Just what's going on? But imagine being responsible for the... Because it's costing, isn't it,

what's millions of dollars every half hour or something? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. It's like the amount of money is insane daily. Because these other ships just sat there. Of course. Or all the blocked, because no one can go in or out, so it's two-way freight.

Why don't they just carve out a little sub, you know, like a little diversion and go round. That little wee dig dig. The captain can do that. Go round! $10 billion in trade flows through the canal, which means that the blockage is costing an estimated $400 million an hour in goods.

No, that's too much. An hour! And it's been days. We've got to get it out of there! That is insane. And then did you see over the weekend one of the Evergreen containers was being transported in China and it like jackknifed on the road and caused a massive traffic blockage? Oh, yes. And everyone's just like, oh, my God.

You guys need a staff meeting. There are some conversations. Tuesday, 11 o'clock, everyone from Evergreen staff meeting, compulsory attendance. There will be staff meeting. Compulsory attendance. There will be catering. And a telling off. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

Okay, we're talking about rejection. Oh, great. You've been rejected before? Oh, sure. Sure. Have you? No, no. I'm just so hot.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like, for me, it's yeah, not as much. You can't relate because of your hotness. Desire, people just desire me. Yeah, I dodge rejection. Like, I'll ask and if the answer's no, I'll be like, well, I was only kidding anyway. Yeah, I was just joking.

I didn't even want to. I didn't even care. Well, I'm talking, we're talking about rejection on a slightly bigger scale. Rejection or otherwise known as heartbreak. Okay, so when you're dumped, basically. When you're dumped or when you lose someone, when you feel like, oh, that really, really hurt. We think of it as an emotional thing, you know, as something like emotionally painful.

Yeah. But it actually can be physically damaging as well. I don't know if you've heard of it before, broken heart syndrome. And you hear about people maybe who have been married their whole lives and then their spouse dies and very shortly after they die. Oh yeah, like in the notebook.

Yeah, yeah. And everyone's like, oh, it's so romantic. But it's actually a physical thing that when you are overwhelmed with stress, such as rejection or like immense grief, it triggers neurons that regulate your heart. So there's actually a science behind what they call broken heart syndrome. That is, it's something about, you know, pumping blood through your heart that gets interrupted when you experience immense stress. Heartbreak. Heartbreak.

Which is, it's sort of, yeah, I've heard of this before when very shortly after someone loses someone, they pass away. They say it can be even related to job loss, divorce, or losing a pet. I don't want to laugh, but if my cat died, I don't plan on quickly dying after. I'll be immensely... You'll be sad, but you're not going to... Yeah.

Yeah, die of a broken heart. So they did this test recently where they took 104 patients who were undergoing cancer tests. Yeah. And 41 of them were diagnosed with broken heart syndrome, saying that there was actually something that had changed in the way that their heart was working because they were so stressed about these cancer tests.

Well, that's not what you need when you're getting the cancer tests. No, I know. They say stress is like the worst thing. I know. So the way to avoid it, which is hard, is all that boring stuff. Go for a walk. Oh, no. Breathe properly.

Oh, not breathing. Meditate. Oh, God. It's not for me. Right. You'd just rather hit the wines, wouldn't you, I'd imagine. I'd hit the Sovion blocks. I don't know if that's going to help your heart pumping blood either.

But there you go. Broken heart syndrome. Right. Well there you go. Broken heart syndrome. Well, thank you, thank you. Would Sade be upset? What do you think would happen? If I die? Yeah. Would she be upset?

Probably just upset at the amount of admin. Yeah, a lot of admin. And the junk I've left in the garage. Have you made it clear to her what needs to happen when you die? Do you have a little agreement? Or have you written it down in a will like an adult? No, it's definitely best she doesn't know anything. Fleetch has got some very strict instructions if I'm to die.

I've got the passwords for the internet browsing history. Clear the lot, delete the lot. I'm talking about like when you're 80 or something. Do you reckon you'll do a notebook? No. Nah. It was like when her grandparents died, all her grandmother wanted was some time on earth without her husband around.

He was a situation. He was a bit of a prick. But they were of that generation where you didn't get divorced. Oh, yeah. So she stuck with him and he was like a wild narcissist and stuff. And she said, all I want is a couple of years peace. But then he died and she died 12 hours later. And everybody's like, oh, it's so romantic.

It was like the notebook. It was not at all like the notebook. She's gripping on for dear life. No, no, no. No, no, no. The light. She's like, turn that off. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast.

ZM. From the fart-addled ZM think tank, this is the top six. That was rude. Hello there. Today's Top Six, the Top Six ways to tell if your workmate went to explore at the weekend. It's a music festival. Yeah. It's a whole thing, isn't it?

It's a beautiful spot right by the ocean. Where is it? It's in Tāpapakangi Regional Park. I've never been. I'm not much of a festivaler. Nah. I was big day out all the way. Yeah, one day.

One day in, one day out. It's on the western side of the Firth of Thames. Oh, yes, beautiful. The Firth of Thames. And it got postponed because of COVID. Uh-huh. And it's gone ahead. Uh-huh.

It happened at the weekend. Good weather. So the top six ways to tell if your workmate was one of the people that went to Splore. Number six, they'll be the ones saying,

oh, I know him when Clark Gayford pops up on the telly. Yeah. I went to his Splore set. What kind of jams did he play, I wonder? I don't know what he's...

Well, you're saying there was good feedback. Yeah. People were saying he was one of the headlines. And was he wearing... The highlights. There was. Yeah, people were saying he was one of the headlines. The highlights. There was conspiracy that he was wearing a button-up shirt with a T-shirt underneath,

and the top of the T-shirt underneath looked like a Jacinda T-shirt. Oh, I hope it was. With her face on it. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. What, was that just in case anybody didn't know who he was halfway through the gig?

Maybe. If he wasn't going, well, he'd be like, do you do it? 100% a Jacinda T-shirt. If you've got a visual. Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah, so you can see the top of the head there. I reckon that was his backup plan in case it wasn't. His hits weren't hitting.

He's done that thing that they do on TV shows. They put a sticker over the Apple logo on his laptop so that you know it's not an Apple. You'll never know. You'll never know it's an Apple laptop. You just can't tell. Why do people do that? I don't know. To not give Apple the free of charge.

On TV shows, yeah, maybe they don't want to. I think you're not allowed to on TV shows. Or am I wrong there? I don't know, but people always do cover it up. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six ways you'll be able to tell if your workmates went to splore. They'll be referring to Chloe Swarbrick

as that chick that tested my pingers for Roundup and rat poison. They were doing pill testing? Yeah, they were doing pill testing at the weekend. Chloe Swarbrick was hanging out by the tent. She also presented the video that was apparently played on the screen saying, look, if you think of doing it,

come and get them tested. Yes, to be safe, not sorry. Indeed. Yeah, so apparently she'd just dip her finger in the bag, rub some on the gums and be like... I don't know if that's how they test it. You're good to go. Come back and see me in 15 minutes. Yeah, you come back and she's like, no!

No! Don't do it! She's foaming at the mouth. It's slightly more formal. The eyes are slightly... Don't they use a laser? They shoot a laser at a diamond. Which sounds like you're just on drugs anyway. Yeah.

And then they're able to get a reading of what's in it. Isn't that insane? That's crazy. Yeah. And then they're able to get a reading of what's in it. Isn't that insane? That's crazy. Yeah. Pretty amazing. She's like, someone call James Shaw to come and get me. Not good, not good. Number four on the list of the top six ways to tell if your workmates went to splore

is their children can't look at them in the eye because they saw them do some things at the weekend. Yeah. Because that's the thing, you can take your kids to splore. I mean, them do some things at the weekend. Yeah. Because that's the thing you can take your kids to explore. I mean, you wouldn't, but you could. Yeah. I'll always remember the last time I was at a festival with some people and it was a festival where you could take kids. It was the Zagat Festival in Europe.

In Europe. Why is this all of a sudden Budapest? Where's that? Hungary? Yes. Yeah. And we were Why is this all of a sudden Budapest? Where's that? Hungary? Yes. Yeah. And we were just walking along and someone was like, I can't believe people bring their kids to these things. And I'm the same.

And then this lady behind us holding a kid said, actually, it's quite all right. And then like lectured us for like 10 minutes. Oh, really? I don't know about the kids being there. I just more feel sorry for mum and dad who can't let loose. I don't think it would stop them. It's like, I'm just going to pop you down.

Mum is going to have a little dance. Yeah, yeah, totally. Where's my kid? Match it loose at your kid at a festival. Oh, my gosh. You'd just paint your name and number on them in UV paint. When they wanted it at the rave tent, they'd glow up. Easy to follow your dad then.

Number three on the list of the top six ways. I hate to say what number I was up to. Number three on the list of the top six ways to tell if your workmate went to explore. You think that they're speaking in satanic verse with their headphones on at the computer, but they're just singing the song they heard at the weekend by breakthrough artist

Vlopskop Doodaddy. I love them. I'm a big fan of Vlopskop Doodaddy. And, of course, that's Tim. Tim from Vlopskop Doodaddy. I love them. I'm a big fan of Vlopskop Doodaddy. And, of course, that's Tim. Tim from Vlopskop Doodaddy was in that band. Bebop. Bebop Doomdum. Bebop Doomdum.

Bebop Doomdum. Yeah, yeah. What's one of their songs? Skiddly Feebop. The good thing is anyone that we displore is still asleep right now. Yeah, absolutely. You'd take a Monday off, wouldn't you? You'd take a Monday.

Number two on the list of the top six ways to tell if your workplace went to splore. They've still got glitter in all their orifices and they glow in the dark under a UV lamp. Yeah. Due to that paint having a bit more life than they expected it to. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six ways to tell

if your workplace went to splore. Look, it's only Monday. The real signs will show themselves tomorrow. Yeah. The Tuesday blues will be back, baby only Monday. The real signs will show themselves tomorrow. Yeah. The Tuesday blues will be back, baby. Or it might just be a Tuesday sick day. Yeah. Because no one's questioning sick days so much at the moment. That is today's top six.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Executive intern Anya, who cannot deliver me that dog, but can tell us about something she saw a couple doing at the weekend. This is yuck. This was on Thursday. This was when we were at the Hamilton Gardens. Oh, Hamilton. Don't drag Hamilton into it.

This is going to be feral, I bet. I liked it better when I was under the assumption that you saw this when you were... We're islanding at the weekend. We did actually have somebody message our Facebook page saying, do you know what the arrows mean, Vaughan, when you're driving into Hamilton Gardens? Yeah, they're purely indicative. Because you get cut off.

They're just indicative. They're a hard rule. You were driving like an arrogant white man again. Yeah. Yeah. It's your privilege to do so. To be fair. Until I'm told not to.

Yeah. So this is when we got separated for a brief minute. Did you guys ditch her? Honestly, they did. It was the scariest time of my life. It really made me feel like I was five years old again. So I was calling Marco and no one called Polo. Well, I didn't even know that was a thing.

I couldn't hear you. That's not their names. That's your first mistake. I was like, oh, somebody's lost Marco? Yeah. Cool. So I'm trying to find you guys and I turn a corner and then I see this couple standing there. I'm like, oh, mum's lost Marco? Yeah. Cool. So I'm trying to find you guys, and I turn a corner, and then I see this couple standing there.

I'm like, oh, mum and dad, here we go. And the wife, well, I can only assume it's a wife, is picking earwax out of husband's ear. That's not on. Yuck. Yeah. Yuck. What does she do with it afterwards?

Yeah. Afflicted. She'd be there afflicted. Tell me. If your partner had a booger or an earwax sticking out, you would say, hey, you've got a booger or you've got a little bit of earwax here. Sort it out yourself.

That's not your jurisdiction. No. Is it? Yuck. And I don't feel that earwax is one of those things that needs to be urgently dealt with. You know what I mean? How obvious Is it? Yuck. And I don't feel that earwax is one of those things that needs to be urgently dealt with. You know what I mean? How obvious is it?

Well, we don't know. It could have been absolutely shocker blocking. It could have been blocking his hearing at the gardens, I'm unsure. But you don't go in there with a wee fingy, do you? No, yuck. How do we feel about couples picking more in? How do we feel about couples picking pimples on each other? Gross. On their back.

In private, in the privacy of their own home? Hayley is disgusting. They can do what they want. Hayley is disgusting. I don't really care. Super open-minded. But the idea of it makes me feel gross. Some women love getting into the blackheads.

Oh, that's so good. Blackheads, is that what you call those? Blackheads on the back. Ingrown hair, blackhead, I'm like, all right. Puss is where I draw the line. You don't want the puss. Puss. What about a whitehead pimple? Is that what you'd call puss?

Yeah, it is. It's white for a reason. I find it really, really satisfying. If your partner, Greg Rover from Nova. He famously has very good skin. He does have, right, okay. But I don't,

yeah, I don't know. I just think I would rather say, we could put a bit of a whitehead there and they can go to the bathroom, wash their hands in a sterile situation and sort it out. Right.

But oh no, what if they can't reach it? Well, well, it's there for life. Do us a favour. It's there for life. Yeah. Get one of those exfoliating brushes

on a stick yeah and just scrub the hell out of it till it pops oh I couldn't or when you can feel it on your back and you're like

I'll say to shout out be like is that one ready and she'll be like nah not ready I'll be like damn it it felt ready because you don't know you don't know

it feels like it's ready but it's obviously not ready but then the next day when it's ready she'd squeeze it she'd help her brother out see that's love that's love she wouldn't like it and afterwards she'd tell me I'm ready, she'd squeeze it. She'd help her brother out. See, that's love. That's love.

She wouldn't like it. And afterwards, she'd tell me I'm gross. Like, she'd shame me. She'd be like, you're a filthy boy. You're a filthy little boy. You gross little man. You're with your blocked paws. You filthy, filthy little boy.

You like that, don't you? You like that. Well, on the back of, I mean, I don't know if you get, there's something about earwax. It's gross. Yeah. But I was wondering if anybody listening is like, maybe you engage with your partner in something that you can

anonymously admit to that might be on the gross side of things. People have maybe said to you previously, don't do that. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, that's the thing. Where do you draw the line on these things Do you pick your Partner's

Back pimples Maybe like a small Booger in the nose Like a dry bat in the cave I'd maybe Hook With my pinky No I'd just be like

You've got something there Yeah blow your nose Yeah My dude So you'd do that But you wouldn't squeeze a pimple I would never squeeze a pimple That's weird

It's made me feel so uncomfortable That's way grosser But then it's weird we expect people at like beauty therapy places or like doctors to do stuff that we would never like expect our partners to do. Oh I know but

they've got gloves. And like a really expensive medical degree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright so 0800DARLS.M, give us a call. You can text 9696. We want to talk about those gross couple things. Maybe you've got one that you do that other people find gross

or one that you only do in secret, something you only do in secret. Or maybe you've been caught in public doing something like this. Yeah, I mean, take it home. Yeah. At least get in the car. Yeah, do it when nobody's looking. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier.

So Executive Intern Anya saw a couple at the Hamilton Gardens and the woman was picking earwax out of her husband's ear canal. Now, we are talking about the gross couple habits. Maybe you don't find these gross at all. Other people do. There's different levels of intimacy in relationships. Hayley Sproul, you will not do back pimples or blackheads. I thought I was an intimate I was I thought I was

an intimate woman until you I've been quizzed this morning I wouldn't go near a pimple okay how's about this one Tash

tell Hayley what you do okay so don't gross out Hayley or don't vomit but being a nurse what I used to do for my ex

was like he'd get sunburned or something like that and I'd just peel his skin off completely and it was so satisfying. And... Tasha!

I would even... That's kind of nice to do to yourself if you had a little peely skin, but I wouldn't do that to someone else. Mountie at the social media desk is absolutely freaking out right now. She's fanning herself. She gets hot very easily. So, so, so touch me.

It is really satisfying because it comes out as like a layer, a whole layer. So it was really nice. I was very precise. Tasha, are you, did you say that you're a nurse? Yeah. So when you do this, do you nurse up? Do you get the gloves on or are you just right in there bare hand? Hell no.

Just sanitize and put it, put your hands through. With the gloves on or are you just right in there bare hand? Hell no. Just sanitise and put your hands through. With the gloves it's harder. You can't. What do you do when you get to that snaggy bit where it's joining back to... There's a bit of resistance. Cut it with the nail scissors. Tasha, thanks for your call. Amanda,

what does your husband love to do? So my husband likes to squeeze my pimples. See, I don't have an issue with this, but Hayley does. Where are these pimples? On your body or your face? It's anywhere he can find them. He actually looks for pimples. So he goes hunting for them?

He goes hunting for them. So we'll have a conversation. He'll be for pimples. So he goes hunting for them? He goes hunting for them. So we'll have a conversation. He'll be talking to me. And then he won't be looking directly in the eye. He will be looking at a pimple that he just cannot let go of. Yes! And so he's like, oh, excuse me, I have to pop this pimple and then we can keep talking.

Thank you. Brilliant. I love it. He just we can keep talking. Thank you. Brilliant. I love it. He just gets straight in there. He does. Well, if it's serving both of you. And I'll be screaming in pain. And he just doesn't stop until it's all gone.

He's getting deep. Yeah. He's cleaning that pool right out. He's a good man. He's not leaving the job half done. The problem is I blame the Dr. Pimple Popper videos online. Yeah. You know?

She's got that tool. Oh, and he watches it. Yeah. He watches videos online. Yeah. You know? She's got that tool. Oh, and he watches it. Yeah, you should buy him that tool that she sells for Christmas or his birthday. Oh, no, I'm not going to encourage him at all. He'll just spend the whole hour just looking, using the tool. Brilliant. Amanda, thanks for your call. Simon.

How you going? Good morning. Good morning. Now, do you have a habit that people might find gross? Yeah, yeah, mate. Hey, I'm a cancer survivor. I'm flying around with one ball left. So Simon is like you're flying around on one engine.

Is that what you mean? He's like, I'm going to drink a coffee. And then he's like, I'm flying around on one ball. And I'm like, got to swallow it. So I've got to go get prostate checks quite regularly. And so my wife decided that she's going to be the prostate checker. So she does that. She won't touch my pimples though, but yeah, she'll put her finger up my bum.

She'll hook a digit up there. Does she know what she... Hook a digit up there. Sprout going for her continued record of one official complaint a week. At least. Simon, I... Does... There's something I find romantic about this because it's a health-based thing. Yeah, that is... Does she know what she's looking for? She does, yeah. There's something I find romantic about this because it's a health-based thing.

Yeah, that is also. Does she know what she's looking for? She does, yeah. She said, well, I mean, it's a monthly thing, and I've been doing it for a number of years now. Right. For a start, I think it was quite uncomfortable. She was just poking it up there and wiggling it around,

and it wasn't all that fun at all so not not not very romantic um but yeah a serious side it's something that you know that guys have 100 and that's got to be a great show of love from her she wants you to stick around she wants to check the prostate to make sure it's not enlarged what's, what's the day like? You know, when you know it's the day, it's the first of the month. Do you do it on, like, the first of the month? No, no, just it's whenever she goes, righto, it's time. Okay, righto. Oh, so surprise.

It can be at the weirdest times, too, because it's like, I'll be ready to go. I'll get my suit on, and then she's like, righto, actually, before you go. Oh, okay. Simon, now it's a little bit cheeky hot. Yeah. Where do you think, she's like, where do you think you're going big boy? Where do you think you're going all

dressed up like that? Get them slacks down. I wish. Brilliant. Simon, thank you for sharing some text messages. They say it's up there though, don't they? What? They say it's up there. No, it is up there. Yeah. Oh yeah, no, that's right. The old good spot. The goodest of spots, no, that's right. Yeah. The old good spot.

The goodest of spots. I think that's what the G stands for. Yeah. Some other text messages in. We were at Hamner Pools and there were a couple and the girl was squeezing her boyfriend's pimple and we were like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not in public.

Not in public. And we formed a vigilante group of people who found it disgusting. We went and told them to get out and stop that. That's absolutely disgusting. Do you think, though, you know when you get in the pool and you go out, you dive in, you go, and you come out, you've got that big snot, and you go, like, that's all in the pool as well.

Yeah, it's so gross. And then you see them pouring in the chlorine, and you're like, more, more, more, more. I want my skin to sizzle. Yeah, keep doing it because there's a kid over there, and they look like that person, more, more, more, more. I want my skin to sizzle. Keep doing it because there's a kid over there and they look like that person. Keep pouring the chlorine. Keep pouring it. And that's when you smell like chlorine for four days after.

Yes, your hair goes green. Someone said I squeeze my partner's blackheads. He's a tradesman. So he gets them appearing all over the place. Oh, yeah, come home dirty. Get those blackheads. Mrs. Picks my earwax. She has a little spoon and everything.

Gets right in there and drags it out. I think you've gone a step too far when you've got a tool. When you start introducing it. Yeah. A mechanism or a tool. There's those little scopic cameras that have got the digging tools on them. Have you seen the videos of people getting their earwax dug out? Sounds like AliExpress might have a cheap one of those.

Oh, can we get one? My ears are literally itching thinking about this. Yeah, get in there. Go a little too far and hit your eardrum and you're like... I know it's bad, but Q-tips for life. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. A TikTok user has been labelled nothing short of a genius for leaving a secret note in the bathroom of the guy she went home with.

Have a listen to this. So last weekend, I picked up a guy in a bar. I've seen him three or four times now, and I was low-key snooping in his bathroom, and I found some female products. His roommate is single, and I thought he was too, but if this is your man, he's cheating. Oh.

So, yeah, she went in and saw these female products. Yeah. Worked out that there were no females in the house. Both of the roomies, including the one that she's been shagging a couple of times, are single. And yet there were these sanitary items, tampons and the like. So she took the tampon box and a pen and wrote on it, if you're seeing slash dating Josh, he's cheating on you. And has left it back in the bathroom so that if his girlfriend or someone else comes over and whoever owns these tampons

and goes to get one and sees this note will then know that this Josh fella is sleeping around on it. Also, you'd recognise that bathroom too because she pretty much puts up a picture of the whole bathroom and is like, this is yours. Yeah. Cheating. Don't you think he would see it as well? Well, I think it's a race to see who sees it first.

Yeah. And then maybe change the shower curtain. I wonder if she's going to keep going there with Josh or not. But people are saying, like, this is girl code. This is women looking out for other women. Even if she's having a nice time with Josh, the idea that she could be the other woman is too much for her. So she hasn't been back since?

No, because I think she's kind of outed him now. Right, right. Yeah, there's no follow up as to whether or not the tampon box with the message on it has been found by another woman. Right. She says, you know, he says he's single, but he won't explain the product. So she's obviously said, like,

whose are these? Any... Does he live alone? Was it... One roommate, and who is also single. A male. Right. But then maybe they've just got them on hand. Oh, there you go. Hasn't seen him since. She says, I don't know if it's a girlfriend or not,

but it's sus and they haven't seen him since. Right, okay. Maybe they're just guys that have that sort of stuff on hand. Yeah, or, you know, because you're always meant to take those hiking, aren't you, for bullet wounds. And bleeding noses. And bleeding noses. And bleeding noses.

If you got a bullet wound, would you go straight for a tampon there? Well, apparently. Apparently, that's what you do, yeah. Yeah, field medication. I know about them up the nose for bleeding nose. There was a video game called Army of Two, and it was like a two-player, and you worked together, and if your friend got shot, you had to plug it. That's what he pulled out, a tampon.

And just throughout the games, there'd be tamponsons you know, there'd be a large case of ammunition a couple of tampons over there. You gotta run over it, pick up a tampon a sword over there some pads over there I mean, let's hide in this bathroom. Oh my god, a tampon dispensary, great let's fill up

I used my tampon dispensary like a slot machine too. I pulled an arm down on the side. Yeah. Chunk. Ka-doom. Gaming really has come a long way. It has.

How woke. Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Well, I've got good news for some men out there. A big survey conducted by dating.com, which runs a whole lot of dating websites, did a survey with their users around body type and what people look for.

And 75% of straight single women said that their ideal body type in a man is the dad bod. Okay. The slightly softer, rounder physique as opposed to a sort of toned, chiselled look. Yeah, right. Yeah, so only 15% of people said that they prefer that kin look. The real buff shoulders, tight little waist. So, did they go into reasons why? Not really.

No, it was just a preference thing. Is it just that we've all had a big year, so maybe let's just not be so judgy? No, because this has been around for a while, and I remember at one stage it was because dad bods were less likely to cheat. There was this idea that if a guy was like Ken doll, as you described, he'd be more desirable. And he could always think he could do a little bit better or something. Right. There was that illusion around

and that if you had a guy with a dad bod then you didn't have to try as hard yourself and he was less likely to cheat. Well, I feel like, for me, I would go a dad bod shows a man enjoying his life, who maybe, you know, enjoys some freedoms, as opposed to if I had, if I saw a guy with like a tight, tight little gym bod, you know, enjoys some freedoms as opposed to if I saw a guy

with like a tight, tight little gym bod, I'd be like, he spends a lot of time at the gym. He won't eat the same food as I do. He won't do a bottomless brunch with you. He wouldn't do that. He probably doesn't have a little drink in the evening. You know, he's going to be microwaving his kumina and his chicken and steaming that brock every day.

There'll be no flavour in his dinner. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't like sauces. Doesn't have an array of condiments on the shelf on the inside of his fridge. Doesn't like sauces. Yeah.

And they're also saying, you know, we're part of like a body positivity movement at the moment and that, you know, with 20% of them saying that they didn't care at all. Right. Like physique has nothing to do with it. And maybe the dad bod thing is, yeah, just going like, it's a good look.

And, you know, there's lots of celebs that have tried it out. Remember Leo DiCaprio? He tried it for a bit, the dad bod. Did he try it on purpose? No, I think he was just like not doing a role at the moment. Yeah, right. Okay. Or like Seth Rogen.

Remember when Chris Pratt had a dad bod for a bit? Yeah. It's hot. I listened to a podcast with George Clooney, and he said Matt Damon will get in, like, mad shape for movies, like get ripped, like Jason Bourne when he did those. Elysium, was it the movie? Yep, yep.

Whatever that was called. But then when he's not filming, he just, like, sits, drinks beers, and eats chips. And he said he's really bad to be around if you're trying to look after yourself because Matt Damon just eats whatever he wants when he's not filming. But see, that is fine in your 20s, but that gets harder and harder.

Much harder. They're also, they're trying to define what a dad bod is because it's a moving scale, isn't it? So they're going... It's a bit of a pook, pook, pooks. Yeah, it's a bit of a pook, pooku. Yeah, a bit of a pook, pooks. Yeah Bit of a puk Bit of a puku Sort of like Maybe it was like

Slimish But like Round and soft Or Get in your car And go over like A speed bump in the car park At the supermarket

And if it wobbles a bit Yeah If you do yourself wobble a bit And it's in the area So I don't We're not quite in bra territory I don't think that's dad bod Right

And a university student student described it as, I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating pizza at night. Yeah, that's just New Zealand. Did you say that was a student? A student described the dad bod as that. Oh, right, a student described it.

I was going to say, if that's how a student described how they got their dad bod, they were in for a rude awakening in their mid-twenties. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Stepping up to the podium for the 10th year

of New Roads. Your gold medalist. Where's my medal? Jared, we need a pen, please. I've got a pen, bro. Oh, you've got a pen? No, I don't have a pen. Bring a pen in.

I don't have a pen. Bring a pen in. Bring me my pen! Thank you, Jared. Oh, blue pen. Bring a pen in. I don't have a pen. Bring a pen in. Bring me my pen. Thank you, Jared. Oh, Blue Star. Where's this from? Some sort of complimentary. Good rubber grip.

Roll a pen. Good pen, Blue Star, whoever you are. Yeah, well done. All right. I'm good. I'm ready to go. Let's meet some people with some stories. All right, let's start with Anna.

Good morning, Anna. Why do you deserve a medal? Hi. Well, I, the other day, washed out a Tupperware container that I'd taken to work with my curry in it. And it had been sitting in my room for about three weeks. Anna, I know the feeling. I know the feeling.

Yeah, it was terrifying. I have a smoothie most mornings, and I flew out of Auckland, and I left my smoothie cup in my car, and I got it cleaned while I was away, and they had kindly just put this feral, festering smoothie in my cup holder upon return. I'm bad at washing, so this is a big contender

for me. So you, rather than throw it out, you washed it? Yes, so the only reason I didn't throw it out I was so tempted to, but it was one of those proper like for steamers as opposed to just an old KJ container. Is it one of the new ones with the real good seal?

Oh no, good heavens we're in a recession. Yeah, heavens, we're in a recession. Yeah, I know we're in a recession, but I tell you what, even pre-recession, those seals were always sketchy. They were, yeah, but the new ones are really really tight. Oh really? Really tight. Is it a proper seal? I reckon you could bring a stir fry

to work and a curry and it's not going to leak in your bag. Because God, I've had some leakage over the years. Oh same. How badly stained is it? Because it is a, I've had some leakage over the years. Oh, same. You've got to keep it in the right way up. How badly stained is it? Because it is a curry you've left in there for three weeks. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't good. So I basically, as an initial first step, I boiled the jug,

took the lid off, and poured the boiling water in it and just ran away. So I just gave it a bit of time to just kind of, you know. It's definitely got a tinge left to it. I saw one of those hacks online once and I tried it and it didn't work and I was like you lied to me. Yeah, rubbish. Doesn't work.

Currys, bolognasers. Well Anna, rather than throwing away a three day old curry stain, three week old curry stain container, you washed it. Congratulations. Three weeks. Three-week-old curry stain container. You washed it. Congratulations. Wait there.

Let's go now to Michael. Michael, why do you deserve a medal? I woke up before 8 a.m. on a Sunday. Oh, yes. What time do you normally sleep until, Michael? On a Sunday, usually about till about 10. Yeah, I know. And did you have so much? Why did you wake up?

I have no idea. Just a whim. So it was a fluke? Yeah, it was a bit of a fluke. What did you do with your morning when you got out of bed? I'm like, I literally just do what I usually do, I suppose. Maybe, maybe,

maybe I may not have gone back to bed. Okay. You piece of shit. I love that. Wow, okay. Well, you rang up for a medal for getting up before eight, but I may have gone back to bed. You are clashing here.

You monster. No, I know that. As someone that can't go back to sleep the minute they wake up in the morning because of these horrendous breakfast hours, I'm angry at Michael. I didn't say I fell back to sleep. Yeah, okay, you just stayed in bed. Snuggled him for comfort. Yeah, I'm reading between the lines here, Michael.

You filthy little beggar. You dirty boy. It's God's day. It's the Lord's day. Sophie, why do you deserve a medal? Because I didn't eat my entire container of hummus in one sitting. Oh, it's very easy to do. Especially those small containers and they're a nice flavour.

You have a little bit. So how did you hold yourself back? Partly because I ran out of crackers. I was about to say, I bet you ran out of crackers. I bet you ran out of crackers. This wasn't restraint. My flatmate did offer me her, but I was like, no, I'm going to be good. I ran out of crackers. I was about to say, I bet you ran out of crackers. I bet you ran out of crackers. This wasn't restraint. My flatmate did offer me her, but I was like, no, I'm going to be good. I will restrain myself.

Yeah, I mean, you could have just got a teaspoon or fingered it out. Here's the mark if this has actually been a decent thing. Have you since gone back and eaten the rest of it in a separate sitting? No, I have not yet. So, you know, that's going to stay there. Yeah, how long are you going to let that sit there? For weeks and weeks and weeks, and then you'll be like, oh, how much? Yeah, you got me there.

We'll see how this goes. We'll see how it goes. All right. It's dry and cracked, isn't it, the old hummus? Time for our medal ceremony now. Bronze, silver, and gold today. Who gets what? You happy with that?

Hang on. Yeah. Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, I was too. Oh, my God, great minds, on. Yeah. Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking. I was too. Oh my god, great minds, guys. Alright, let's dish out our bronze medal. He's lucky to not be disqualified for ringing up and saying, I'm going to bed.

He'd eat every shindy. Only to go back to bed and probably play with himself for the next two hours. Well, he had all that time. He had two hours that he was usually asleep. He's been in a couple more than I would. I'd have one and then watch something and have another one. Bronze medal today, Michael with his 8am Sunday wake-up.

He gave it a wake in Bacon. He gave it a little shake as well. The New Zealand hero. In second place, silver medal for practising what only can be described as amazing restraint. Because when the crackers ran out, she stopped eating her hummus.

Something that Fletch would just go fingers in. Oh, absolutely. Congratulations, Sophie. Today's silver medalist. Thank you so much. Really looking forward to seeing whether or not that hummus gets finished before it goes manky. Keep us updated. Please let us know immediately.

Maybe finish it off tonight with a carrot stick or two. Carrot's a great option. Out of interest, what flavour hummus was it? Just the classic garlic and lemon. Oh, yeah. Lisa's? I was going to say because... Is it Lisa's?

Was it a tax-free Lisa's? I think it was Lisa Oh, yeah. Leases? I was going to say because... Is it leases? I don't know. Was it a tax-free leases? I think it was leases, actually. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. No corporate tax paid there.

I was just going to say, because if it was a beetroot hummus, I was going to take this time to remind you, next time you take a poo, you're not dying. Yes. Yeah. Always important to remember to...

Not just throwing them in the ocean and saying, clean this one out while you dolphin. She cleaned a Tupperware while it was a Sistema container, technically. Not Tupperware. That had been sitting dormant in her room, laden with leftover curry juice for three weeks, ladies and gentlemen. Wow. Thank you.

The container still has a slight gingy tingy. But over time, we might have that fade. Anna, congratulations for your services to making multi-use plastic actually multi-use. Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much. What a way to start the week as a winner. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Yeah Good So this I found in the supermarket I was Because it's Easter This weekend right Yeah

So short week So there's like Easter eggs galore Yeah And I saw this thing And it was like a long tube Here's a photo of it How would you describe that

Like a metre long Yeah Tube Like a cannon Yeah It looks like those Big confetti cannons Is it an egg cannon Like it's a It's not an egg cannon How would you describe that? Like a metre long tube? Like a cannon. Yeah, it looks like those big confetti cannons. Is it an egg cannon? It's not an egg cannon, but it was massive, and it's full of 20 Easter eggs.

And I said to my daughters and my wife, I said, if I got this when I was a kid, I would have shit myself. Because that was so exciting about it. I was like, how cool is this? And the kids are like, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I was like, I'm going to shit myself. Yeah. Like that's because that was so excited about it. I was like, how cool is this? And the kids are like, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's like, I want to shit myself.

And this woman behind me was like, excuse me, watch your language. There's children here. I'm like, yeah, but they're my children. You should hear what I say at home. Yeah. I'm setting a great example of using swear words in a positive way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, because when I say that, I don't mean it in a negative. Yeah, exactly. I mean it in a positive way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, because when I say that, I don't mean it in a negative. Yeah, exactly. I mean it in a positive way. Yeah. And, yeah, I was like, they were right. And then they, like, looked at this lady like, come on, this is amateur hour.

He said he's going to shit himself because he's so excited about this giant tube of Easter eggs. But, yeah, she told me off. I actually saw a video of you and Sade singing We Don't Need No Water, Let the Mother Burn. Burn. Yeah, she told me off. I actually saw a video of you and Sade singing We Don't Need No Water, Let the Mother Burp. And you didn't bleep her. Well, we got the girls to start guitar lessons this week at school. So we bought them some little cheaper guitars.

And then Sade and I hogged them all week. Because I played guitar when I did guitar lessons for like six years. Absolutely awful. What a waste of like six years. I absolutely awful. What a waste of time and money. I do apologize to my parents regularly for that.

Yeah. But they I'd remember the chords. Yeah. So we could we learn to play a few songs together. One of them was the Bloodhound Gang

Fire Would A Burn. And I was like, I'm not censoring this. I'm singing this how it was meant to be sung. It's like the simplest. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the simplest. Yeah, yeah. It's the simplest. So swearing is allowed in your house, basically. It was actually John Campbell who gave me the greatest advice on swearing with children. They need to know what they are. They need to know which ones are really inappropriate. Those are the ones that are based on like racism or homophobia or anything.

And they never get said. And that's our rule. They never get said. And they need to know when and where it's appropriate to swear. School, obviously never. And at home, not in an angry way. Yeah. But like if you hurt yourself, a quick release of that.

I'm okay with that. So can I ask this woman who shushed you. How dare you? How dare you? How old was she and what was her haircut? She was a middle age. She, yeah, yeah. If you were going to give her a name that started with K, you probably wouldn't be too far wrong.

In fact, that's what the girl said when we got back to the car. How about that Karen that told you off in there? I was like, oh, yeah, that's all right. She doesn't like that word, but yeah. I wasn't using it negatively, but that's not of my stranger. And that's. I was like, oh yeah, that's all right. She doesn't like that word, but yeah, I wasn't using it negatively, but I got told off by a stranger. And that's what I was wondering this morning.

Yes. Have a stranger ever told you off? Perhaps not for your language, perhaps for your actions, but like, you know, it wasn't that big a deal. Yeah.

When a stranger told you off for something that wasn't, you know, wasn't the end of the world. Well, they're a stranger. They're telling you off. They've got no right to.

You're also a grown man. That's the funny bit. It's like being an adult getting told off. You're like, what? What's happening right now? I make my own decisions. I was standing by the six packs of trumpets. I was in the frozen goods aisle.

Yeah. I was in my happy place. Yeah. Holding a large, huge tube of eggs. Yeah. And I was told off for exclaiming my glee using the S word. Want to know when you've been told off in public by a stranger? Some text messages in on the subject.

We were in a mall. The kids were rushing off in front of... No, sorry, we were in a mall. That's from the text above it. Just updated and I got half the text from the one in front of it. My kids were rushing off in front of me while I was on the phone to a client. They were being wild. They were being children. And then this Karen yells out in front of it. My kids were rushing off in front of me while I was on the phone to a client.

They were being wild. They were being children and then this Karen yells out in front of everybody around, look at this woman too busy on her phone to look after her kids. Get your priorities straight, woman. That is so terrible.

Women should raise other women up, Karen. Yeah, not drag them down. She's mom and she's business woman. Yeah, exactly. Shelly, when were you told to find a stranger in public? I was at a store, like just a shop, and we had previously, my two-and-a-half-year-old

had gone to the zoo. There was a little lion stamp on her arm. And anyway, this lady's like, oh, I see you've got a stamp on your little two-year-old there, like on your little toddler there. And I was like, pardon? She's like, oh, I see you've got a tattoo there on your toddler. And I said, oh, no, no, it's just a stamp from the zoo.

And she rolled her eyes at me and she was like, yeah, that's exactly where it starts. You're setting a bad example. Oh! I was like, hello? Excuse me? Wow. That's where it starts, stamps?

What? Yeah. Your kids are always like I'm going to get a stamp A stamp Yeah, hi It's a gateway to sleeve tattoos on toddlers It really is

Give it a couple of years That's amazing That's crazy Shelley, thanks You're called Tegan What happened when you were told off By a stranger in public? So I was at a store

And then we're walking out to the car and me and my two-year-old, I just put him in front of the door just before putting him in the car seat. And he went to go run out into the car park and I automatically freaked out and quickly grabbed him by his arm just like any parent would. And the lady in front of me got out of her car and started abusing me, saying I was abusing my child

and that she was going to call the police on me because I could break my son's arm and I could dislocate his shoulder like that. And I just turned around and said to her, I said, well, I'd rather that than my car get, like, my son get hit by a car. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. She was going to call the police on me and everything. Oh, my God.

That's crazy, eh? Like, butt out. It's not your business. A lot of things around parenting here. Stay out of it. Caitlin, you were told off in public by a stranger? Yes, I was at the supermarket. My mum owned a catering company and she'd asked me to go get loads of potatoes. So I was at the supermarket and picked up about 10 bags of potatoes

and a stranger said to me, how about you leave some potatoes for somebody else? And it actually, a few months later, I met my now husband, and it's actually my now mother-in-law that had told me off at the time. So she was seared into your memory so much that when you met her as the mother-in-law, you're like, it's potato bitch. Absolutely. Did she remember you?

Did she remember you? Did she remember you? I don't know, but I've never brought it up. I'm like, I'm not bringing this topic up. No, you shan't. You never. And now that you know her, like, as your mother-in-law, is that the kind of person she is, just to be quite up front with strangers? Oh, yeah.

She wouldn't hold back. Yeah. What's her name? It's not Karen. Don't say it. Caitlin, thanks for your call. Some text messages. Somebody said,

I get told off in strangers in public all the time for being fat. What? What business is it of anyone else's? How? Oh, my God. I can never imagine a world in which I would cast judgment upon someone and then say it. It's ridiculous.

Yeah. For anything. Who taught you that you can do that? Yeah. Stop it. Walking up to an Irish person and be like, Irish. But is that your worst nightmare? What's that condition where you just, or you might, people that have like a brain injury and then you can't

hold back your thoughts. Like a Tourette's. Yeah, like that would be my worst nightmare. My granddad got his brain injury. They said, now one thing is with this sort of brain injury, people often lose their filter of what's appropriate and inappropriate to say. And we were like, oh my God, we cannot unleash this man on the world. He was bad enough as it was. And like later on when no one was around,

he'd tell you what he really thought of a situation and we're like, this could be very problematic for the family. So yeah, it'd be absolutely horrible. Lots of people getting told off by people in public. I once let my child go down a slide at a playground and then some woman charged over to me and told me that that child was too young to be going down slides and did I not care if they fell off

and broke their neck? Oh, my God. I once parked next to an elderly gentleman at the mall and he was whining down his window, so I was like, oh, he wants to say something. I wound down my window and he looked happy enough until he had a go at me because I needed to wash my car and I was an embarrassment.

Take pride in your car. An embarrassment. Oh, that sounds like an old man, you know, like a really old man who just takes pride in his appearance. Yeah. I was walking, holding my baby from store to the car. It was approximately three meters and a man told me off and said, that baby's head will burn up. There's no coverage on it.

And I said, I'm literally taken from the car to the store and then straight back into the car. And he said, get that shoulder hat. Stop. Everyone's parenting shaming. There is no shortage of parenting shaming out there. Wow. No shortage of it.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about watches. Do you know why watches are called watches? Because you watch it? Because you watch the? Because you watch the time go by.

Nope. As you get closer and closer to death. The watch man men. Watch. Something about watch towers. The watch men

were watching people though. But they were on watch. Yes. And that is where their name for watches comes by. Okay.

So prior to the pocket sized clock which is what it was called, and of course the watch on your wrist is technically a wrist watch because it was like a pocket watch was what the pocket-sized clock got called because prior to that, sailors who were put on four-hour shifts of duty, otherwise known as their watch, would time their watch by turning an hourglass over four times. Oh, yeah.

And that's when their watch was over. Oh. Their watch. So when they got these pocket-sized clocks, they could time their four hours a lot easier because they could say, I'm starting at 12 and my watch will finish at four. So they were used to time their watch,

so they just started calling them watches. Because if I was on watch and I had to turn over the little thing. The little hourglass. The thing you get in board games, they almost... Yeah, yeah. Egg timer.

Egg timer is like a five-minute one, but those ones are bigger. I'd just turn it over sooner because then I'd wake the people up for the next shift and they'd think I'd gone through four cycles. You'd show them the empty thing and be like, yeah, it over sooner. And then I'd wake the people up for the next shift and they'd think I'd gone through four cycles. You'd show them the empty thing and be like, yeah, it's done. Done.

How are they going to prove it? Unless they had their own timer. The sun's a dead giveaway, where the sun is. Yeah, true. Commonly used to tell time. They finished their watch at 12 at night. And you're forgetting that there were other clocks as well. Oh, yeah, true.

But larger clocks. Wouldn't work. You'd get called out so quickly on that one. It as well. Oh, you're true. But larger clocks. Wouldn't work. You'd get caught out so quickly on that one. It was a good try, though. Yeah. You tried. And you know what? You just committed something.

You're going to get caught, Marshall, in the morning. Am I? And you'll be hung. Because it was 1505 when a German locksmith invented the first pocket-sized clock. Of course, it was spring, so you had to move it to keep it going. Oh, yes. You had to do the old movement, spend a few hours a day.

There's still a few watches that you need to give the wrist a bit of action to get going. To get it to wind up. And so that's why they're called watches. Because they were used to time the watch that sailors spent on guard. And now we have Apple watches and smart watches. But we're still calling them watches.

I don't wear a watch. I've got a clock on my phone. Yeah. Yeah. So easy. And I get eczema on the wrist. Oh, eczema situation. Yeah.

Doesn't like to breathe. It needs to breathe. Yeah. Breathe a bit. Breathe a bit. So today's fact of the day, watches are called watches because when they replaced hourglasses,

people used them to time how long they would be on watch. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Over the weekend, it was announced that Prince William had been named the sexiest bald man in the world. You can imagine the outrage that immediately happened after this.

Because to me, he's balding, not bald. He shouldn't be even considered. They've got a photo of Prince William, a very recent photo. And yeah, he's hanging on. He's got an egg-shaped head. He's very long in the head. Yeah, and that's only accentuated by the fact that he's not shaved his head. Are they allowed?

We've talked about this before, whether or not the royals are allowed to shave their heads. I don't think so. It's pretty not a great look, eh? Are they not? I think they about this before. Whether or not the royals are allowed to shave their heads. I don't think so. It's pretty not a great look, hey? Are they not? I think they're working around with a full-blown crime dime. Well, otherwise you would

if you were him, wouldn't you? Yeah, because he's got that, he's got like the wispy bits in the middle. Mm. And then on the sides he's still got the hair. Yeah.

He's got the male pattern baldness. But yeah, you've got to shave that and grow a beard. That's pretty much the rule. Bit of facial hair there. So instantly people were like, well, look around the world at other bald heads. Stanley Tucci can take me up the stairs and into the bedroom. Honestly.

And because he's getting a lot of fans at the moment with his Italian cooking. Yes, and his cocktail making on his Instagram. Oh, I didn't know that. I'm a huge Tucci fan. I didn't know he was doing all the same. He's got cookbooks and they're amazing. And he is built. Like he's been working out and cooking beautiful Italian food.

What? He is so sexy. Also, Jason Statham? Yep, The Rock as well. Dwayne The Rock Johnson. He has come out and said this is just ridiculous. Stanley Tucci actually put up a post saying whose crown should be wearing the crown

and then he's put up himself, Bruce Willis, The Rock, Tilda Swinton. Tilda Swinton. When she played the ancient one in Doctor Strange. Look at this hot, hot photo of Sir Patrick Stewart. Yeah, and Sir Patrick Stewart's a good looking bald dude as well. Oh, no, I don't want that one. Mature LL Cool J's in the mix, Jason Statham.

What's that Mark guy? It's Mark Strong. Mark Strong, he always plays villains. Oh, yeah, that guy. He's a handsome bald man. He put Ryan Reynolds in the mix as well. That wasn't used to Ryan Reynolds, who was like, wait a minute, what? I love this tweet from The Rock.

How in the cinnamon toast F does this happen when Larry David has a pulse? Yeah, Larry David. But again, he's not. He's balding. He's got the, he keeps the sides, doesn't he? Oh, yeah, but that's. Everybody who shaves their heads could probably keep some aspect of the sides of the back. Yeah.

Disappointing. How did this happen? So when I was reading up about this, it's based on Google searches. Oh. Yeah. How did this happen? So when I was reading up about this, it's based on Google searches. For like bald men. Yeah, so who people are looking for, like bald I don't know. Do you think those are

guys that are balding and they're like, well let me see what my options are here. No, it's just. Do I hang on to the top? Do I keep the sides? Do I shave it? Who can be my inspiration? Yeah, who are the sexy bald men that I can inspire to be? Do you not think that's what people would be Googling for? Probably, yeah.

Who would I, like, look like if I shaved my head? Who's got a head shaped like mine? I was very thankful when I did decide to shave my head that I didn't have a funny shaped head. You know, you see some guys going bald and they shave their head and you're like, oh, no, you've been dealt the double blow of balding but also having a weird head. Yeah.

So it's not based on who is searching Prince William sexy bald. Yeah. Prince William sexy bald. It's based on when people search for sexy bald men, how many times their name comes up on Google searches. Do you know what I mean? Like how many pages they're included in. Oh, right.

Okay. So Prince William is the most named sexy bald man. It's been a hell of a year for the royals. He looks like a thumb. Well, let's be honest. He's doing well. Yeah. Like Kate.

Oh, yeah, he's doing well. He's doing very well. I think he might. He's just got that real Soft British I've never I've never had a bad Hard thing happen to me

In my life Whereas Jason Statham Looks like He's rough He's been dragged Through the bin Backwards twice He was born in a sewer

Yeah And then crawled out Of the sewer To live in a dumpster And he thought it was A great improvement And he's still got his Ass to the gym

Yeah ZM's Fletch Warner Megan The podcast I was just playing Pokemon Go out of the sewer to live in a dumpster and he thought it was a great improvement. Yeah, and he still got his ass to the gym. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I was just playing Pokemon Go for the first time in ages. An absolute kerfuffle in the studio, actually, before we came back on air. Go to my Instagram if you want to see how badly Vaughan was behaving just now. Well, Jared convinced me to open Pokemon Go

for the first time. He might not have been aware of the addiction that I suffered in 2016 when Pokemon Go first launched. That got really bad. This is the equivalent of you walking in to the studio and giving an alcoholic a bottle of wine and saying, drink this now. And then just throwing your hands up.

I didn't realise. Lorne was an addict during the Pokemon Go crisis of 2019. 2016. Was that when it was? Yeah. Because I saw a guy downtown the Pokemon Go crisis of 2019. 2016. Was that when it was? Yeah. Because I saw a guy downtown the other weekend playing Pokemon Go. And I was like, what are you doing? This is the first time I'm hearing of this.

I'm so sorry. I was a wild addiction. I used to get up really early for work and go to like the hot spots on the way to work to pick up a couple of Charizards. You did look like an absolute meth head who just saw a light bulb for the first time In years And you were screaming and banging on the window And your phone has now been confiscated

So you can focus on your job that you're here to do It's changed a lot You know, I don't think it's bad for me this time around, guys You can fight Tim Rocket You literally In the space of one ad break, you started playing the game and it ended and you're screaming and she came and took your phone.

You guys were with me on my phone all over me. Okay, Jarrod, we've learned something, haven't we? We don't interest more games. After the show, I will try not to get addicted, wildly addicted to that again. If you do have a bottle of Prosecco out there though, Jarrod, I wouldn't be open to receiving it. It's just dry. It's not even really

alcohol. It's nearly 9 o'clock. It's dry and it's bubbly and go team Velour. Velour? Was that the red team in Pokemon Go? Anyway, Whittaker's. They own the K-Bar. Yes. I'm also still on the hunt for a mixed box of K-Bars to send to a friend.

I think you've got to buy four individual boxes or three individually and then mix them up. I'd be keen. I'd have a couple from the boxes. Okay. Maybe I'll buy four boxes, make a mixed box, send it to him, and then say the rest is a fundraiser and put it in the office, be like, my kids are fundraising. So people put money in there and I can recoup the costs of the boxes of K-Bars and the postage to the UK.

Oh my God, that's an amazing idea. It's a really good idea because those boxes do look like those little, you just need to cut a little slot in it for a $2 coin. What's the fundraiser? What are you fundraising for? You've got to get the female strings. Female animals. Which we've already heard today on the show are imperil.

Never a more deserving cause Female animals with issues The adversity they've faced Oh my god, everything The fact that they're an animal The fact that they're a female animal And they've got their issues Some of them might be

And then, so I clean out the money box from the K-Bar collection for the fundraising And then I say someone stole from the honesty box. And then everyone at work feels real bad. And so they all like go into their purses and find money. And then they're like, here, I know I didn't steal it, but here. And then I've got double the money. You've doubled your profit. So that's an insight into when he's willing to rip off his work colleagues.

Yeah. What's the actual story we're talking about? This man has made K-Bar rapper art pieces. By the way, Simon Lewis wards. I want one. They look amazing. So cool. Have you seen those little, not little,

but those sort of, I guess, table figurines of the, what are they called now? Explorer animal, Explorer lollies. Formerly known as Eskimos. That you can get them in this little like. And they just sit on the table. Like an ornament. So this would be a great accompaniment to that.

Some artist has done that independently. Who owned the rights to the Explorer? Was it Allen's that changed it recently? Yeah, Allen's or Pascal's or something. But did they okay this? Are they getting a cut of the action? I don't know. Because that's the problem that Whitaker's has

with the K-Bar being used because he's selling them and he's not just selling them for like, they're really cool, they're way bigger than usual, but you know after you'd eaten a K-Bar, you'd flatten out the wrapper, but still had that like crinkle in it? They're big. I'd say, what, A3 sized?

Yeah, massive. And they look exactly like it has had a cover on them and still got that like authentic crinkle to it. Oh, it looks, they're so cool when they're on the wall like that. I know. And it's mounted in a frame. Yeah. So it's like the paper's all crinkled and mounted.

One of those depth frames. Do you reckon before, yeah, when it's like a box on the wall, do you reckon before he gets cancelled, we might be able to place an order? Well, I think after this, this kind of came out on Saturday, I think he would have sold out. So they're gone.

They are. That's right. He said there was a, Whitaker said there was a June 30th deadline for the destruction of any of the hand-scrunched and enlarged replicas of the famous fruity coffee glass packaging. But he said,

I actually don't need to destroy anything because they're all gone. $1,500 each. So a three sets, four and a half grand. Wow. And they look good. The more you have, the better they look. There's a picture of three of them hung on a white wall

and it looks pretty cool. So I'm just looking at a photo of him in front of the K-Bar things. He's also done the Explorer forward slash Eskimo lollies. Oh, right. Because I was reading he's going to do like a glass K-bar. And that's how the rappers actually came about as he was making a wrapper for the glass K-bar. Right.

And then they look cool on their own. And then they look cool on their own. Oh, and he's got jet planes as well. He did the jet plane one. He's the jet plane guy. Why do like Whitaker's, why are they kicking up a fuss? Wouldn't it be cool if someone's artistically replicating your

products? Yeah, but we're... I mean, they're making... What they're saying is, where does it start and where does it stop? What, if you let people use your property? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Then you could just start selling small wrappers and people could make bootleg K-bars. Yeah. And that could end

badly. That could end very badly. But I'm, what's his name going to hop on his website? He's got a lot of cool stuff. They've gone up drastically in price. Have they? How much are they now? I'm on his website now. Oversized Raspberry K-bar, limited run of 10, width 1 metre,

height 69 centimetres. 1 metre, that's real big. $2,750 framed. Oh, frames are very expensive. The frame's probably half of that. Oh, wow. If we turn this into, we're talking about this being an issue or are we just plugging this artist in his magnificent work?

I think it's magnificent work. A 50 cent mix and it's in a plastic sealed bag and there's a jet plane, a milk bottle, three jet planes actually, a couple of those, the old Eskimo lollies because they're not the new shape. Good on them. The Explorer because that's a bit of a new shape.

Or you can get a 50 cent mix for $2,700. Is that all? You can get a milk bottle lolly, you know the milk bottle lollies, in an old milk bottle carrier. Oh yeah, cool. $790. This is actually really like super Kiwiani.

Yeah. Kiwiana. Kiwiana, super Kiwiana. Kiwiana-esque. Yes. Kitty Tikanawa. Yeah, of course you were. You always are.
