The ZM Podcast Network. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee for only $4. Conditions apply. We did, we were about to walk out the door, weren't we?

Yeah. And producer Jared came running after us and said, guys, you've forgotten to do the podcast intro. Megan had- Megan's gone. So she's had to rush home to see if her mum's got any more. Lost the baby. Oh, the knickers.

You'll hear about the sexy knickers in the podcast. She might have popped out for a bra and things or a peaches and cream or an adult twin. Goodness me. Mega warehouse. Chemist. Adults mega chemist warehouse. I don't know how they do that at chemist warehouse. No, Dan Carter's doing the advertising.

For the sexy knickers. For the sexy knickers, yeah. Yeah, right. At the chemist warehouse. Did you have anything you wanted to bring up? I was going to say I got a second possum at the weekend in my possum trapping. Oh, yeah, right. In my pest eradication plans.

And there's already a third one. More footage this morning of a fresh possum. You've got a camera on the trap. On the trap. Yeah, right. Yeah, but the death of the second possum wasn't caught on film. I don't know what happened there. Yeah. Those aren't going down well in the group chat, have you noticed?

I have. And you know what? It really pisses me off because no one else in the group chat is doing their part to make us pest free by 2020, 2050. Yeah. Apart from me. Yeah. and then I chuck them on the side of the road and the hawks the native hawks

they say thank you very much and I say you're most welcome eat all it's good stuff and then leave it's pelt weirdly on the side of the road to slowly decay over time and I'm slowly eradicating possums but now I've got a third one alright so that's the goal tonight is it? to get that next possum

what do you use? Apple covered right, so that's the goal tonight, is it? To get that next possum. Yeah, right. What Lewis and M, what do you use? Apple. Covered in cinnamon. Because it's the smell of the cinnamon. Yeah, yeah, they can smell cinnamon from miles away. The possum cinnamon challenge. Yeah, yeah.

Better than the possum ice bucket challenge. Yes. Producer Jared has something to add. He's waving. Oh, we can't hear you. Can't hear you. How about now? We should be able to hear you.

Test one, two. I think you haven't pressed a button. It's definitely not my end. I've pressed all my buttons. Control, there's ZM control. Three. Oh, wait. No, you were going on air then.

What? Look at that. It hasn't gone into the record mode. I was going to say it's on the wrong. Goodness me. That was on air. I hope you weren't swearing. What did you say?

It's still not working. You're still not there. Still not coming air. I hope you weren't swearing. What did you say? I'm still not working. You're still not there. Still not coming through. Try this door. Tell us through the door. I'll open the door. Come in. That's bizarre.

Sometimes it does. I'll probably have to reset the profile. That means nothing for anyone. Go on. Megan's mic. Yes. Can I just say I hope this is worth it. Yeah, this has been big build-up.

Shit, we've built up to this. This has been big build-up. Just looping back around to you leaving the possums on the side of the road. Yeah. I was visiting my grandparents. Speak more into the mic. I was visiting my grandparents and I noticed they hammer oranges onto the tree so that birds can pick at it. Yeah.

So why don't you do that with the possum? Hanging on the thing. Yeah. Also, why are they encouraging birds to eat their fruit i mean the only bird i will happily look out the window and see um absolutely mowing an orange to pieces kiwi oh if i looked at the windows or a kiwi eating orange i'd fucking hit the road i'd have to take a photo because there's no way sharday would believe that should come home and i'll be like i've got a story there was a kiwi yeah but um

yeah i put them on the side of the road so that the hawks can eat them without the danger of being hit by a car. Because when possums get run over in the middle of the road, hawks want to eat them, but then they're on the road too. And that's where we lose many of our beautiful native raptor. Yeah. So yeah, drag that to the side of the road. Yeah.

That's what I'd say. Hammer it to a tree. Yeah. Might do it. Yuck. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show.

Fleeche, Vaughn and Megan, two minutes past six. Good morning. Good morning. So much Olympic action over the weekend. So good. Lots, lots and lots of Olympic action. Gold medal for the sevens. I got a little bit emotional when I watched that game.

And they all got like upset at the end. Well, not upset. You know, cried at the end. I was like, oh, the tears of emotion. Tears of pride. Pride tears. Pride tears. I'm going to say next time I'm crying.

I'm not crying. These are pride. Yeah. I've got a pride leak time I'm crying. Look, this is, I'm not crying. These are pride. Yeah. I've got a pride leak. My pride's leaking down my face. Yeah. Yeah. That was awesome.

Yeah. It was bloody great to see, wasn't it? Gold medal well fought. Well fought by the Black Ferns. Do we have any more medals coming? Nah, that's us. I think we're all packed but I'm coming home now. Nah, what else is, What hasn't even started?

No, the kayak hasn't even started. That's your Carrington hotspot. I think we've got some sailing today. A bit more sailing. A bit more sailing. Maybe some equestrian.

Swimming. I've had enough of swimming. I think swimming was all done. Is it not? Well, I saw some people jumping in the pool yesterday. I assume that was some sort of swimming.

It wasn't diving. I saw a men's relay yesterday and I wasn't mad about it. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah, the US team got like a world record, I think. Did they? They also look very nice to look at. Yeah, right. Well, they're pretty

aerodynamic, aren't they? Not a lot of drag, if you know what I'm saying. God, Mr. Toyboy's away and she's already getting thirsty at the TV. Yeah. I don't know what you're saying. Well, Mr. Toyboy's away and she's already getting thirsty at the TV. Yeah. I don't know what you're saying. Well, body hair and a big fat guts is what I meant, Megan. That's the drag I was referring to. Did you think I was talking about their keel?

Yeah. They've all got keels, but those are tucked up. Tucked up nice and tight behind the speedos. All right, we've got your chance to win on the show before seven this morning. We have, all thanks to brands.co.nz a Brands Basket that you can win every day this week. Now, today's Brands Basket is worth quite a bit of money. Oh, I thought you were going to say it. I was like, you didn't say how much it's worth.

That's what people have to do. We tell you what's in the Brand Basket, and then you've got to have a guess. Whoever's closest to the price wins it. Yeah, so all thanks to BrandStockCo.nz. The activator you chance to call through is coming up on the show for $4.7. Now the top six is also coming up. Apparently 40,000 ghost houses in New Zealand. That's where ghosts live in the house.

Yeah. Your landlord's a ghost. So I've got the top six problems with having a ghost landlord coming up. All right. Next on the show. Bad news for people looking for a sugar daddy. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Bad news if you're looking for a sugar daddy.

It's going to become a whole lot harder. Google is banning sugar dating and sugar daddy apps from its Play Store. What is their reasoning for this? It's just a different form of dating. So they are banning apps that offer paid sexual relationships. Right. So they're saying it's more of a solicitation prostitution situation than a relationship with different benefits.

Yeah. So if people are spending money in exchange for something sexual, this is like a new rule that's coming into force from the 1st of September. Yeah. So if people are spending money in exchange for something sexual, this is like a new rule that's coming into force from the 1st of September. Right. But is this something you could buy or do in the app? You could give people money in the app or was it just meeting people? I guess so. Because how is that different from Tinder or any other dating app?

Yeah. Well, you just go on Tinder now, right? You see your age bracket a little bit older and you're particularly fussy about how much money they have. Yeah. And I didn't know there was so many, like in the example picture, there's 24 that I can see. 24? Wow.

That they've got, you know, like showing it, for example. Yeah. I didn't realise there was so many. But clearly there's a market for it. And I didn't think that they would be... It seems like a weird... Weird place to draw the line. Yeah, yeah.

But, yeah, it's a new rule that's going to affect sugar dating, so... So I guess if you want a sugar daddy, you've got to go to the... just the Apple store now. Have they banned these apps? No.

Just Google Play. Just Google Play, yeah. Right. And see, another reason not to have an Android. They want to get a sugar daddy? You can't. Yeah. Well, that's the problem.

You've got to get an iPhone from the sugar daddy first to then get the app. It's the sugar daddy paradox. It really is. It's tough, isn't it? But like, yeah, opting into this relationship, like knowing, you know,

it's consensual. I just thought it was a weird stance to take. I agree. I've always held that as kind of a backup, you know? Well, no, you've done, we've discussed this before Megan, you've done the sugar've discussed this before, Megan. You've done, you've done the sugar daddy thing the wrong way around.

Yeah. I mean, that was. You got married and then you got the toy boy. Yeah. You need to do the sugar daddy first. Yeah.

And your prime. Yeah. And then. She took her a while to get. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you do the toy boy later. Yeah, right.

Yeah. It's called having to eat your potato before you get your pudding. Okay. So the pudding is a Toyboy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. And the potato is the stodgy old white dude.

Yeah. You're just going to shake him out. Isn't the potato lots of carbs and makes you fat? Yeah, but look, I was just trying to think of a boring thing. Yeah, right, yeah. I was just, it was the stodginess and the whiteness that got me across the board on the potato comparison. Porridge.

No, but nobody eats porridge straight to their pudding afterwards. You kind of have got to have a mains dessert situation. Yeah, right. You've got to eat your peas. Yep. Before your pudding. Yep. Okay. Whereas your pudding. Yep. Okay.

Whereas you just went to pudding, didn't you? Yeah. Skipped your peas. Well, joke's on you. I don't know. I'm done now. All right, quarter past six. Next on the show, where you can no longer take a poo.

Okay. This will be good to know. It's not a public poll. You're never supposed to do them there. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. A workplace has banned customers and employees from number twos in the toilet. This will be good to know. It's not a public poll. You're never supposed to do them there. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. A workplace has banned customers and employees from number twos in the toilet. And apparently has welled in its rights according to an employment lawyer,

as long as there's somewhere else nearby for people to go. And that place is the general mall toilets. So this place is in a mall. Right. It's got a ablution centre. And somebody has made such they've desecrated the site. Made such a situation

that this business, which has remained unnamed, but has bright yellow signage with red borders and faces that can be changed with big black vivids and red bouts. 100% JB high five. I wasn't going to say it, but it's looking

like it. Because of yesterday this toilet is for washing hands and peeing only. Take a dump in the mall, please. Now that would be the mall toilet, not just in the middle of the mall. Is that what the sign says? Because of yesterday. What happened yesterday? I know. How bad was that? If you ignore this,

the toilet will be locked forever. That's what somebody said. Well, that's fine if you just use the mall toilet. If they'll let you walk to the toilet,

which I'm assuming is hopefully close to the store. Yeah, but you're also gone. You're not like, do you have to do it on your break or can you just be like,

boss, it's an emergency. I have to go. It struck me in the middle of my eight hour Saturday shift. Yeah. or can you just be like, boss, it's an emergency. I have to go. It struck me in the middle of my eight-hour Saturday shift. And then you can be gone for a while. See, I'm not against this. I think if you're going to do a number twos and it's going to permeate in the store, that's not great for anyone. You working there, all the customers.

I need to know how bad it was. I know. You need to know what happened. Because sometimes here at work, I'll walk in and immediately I'm to know how bad it was. I know. I need to know what happened. Well, because sometimes here at work, I'll walk in and immediately I'm like, oh my God. And then it's lucky dip of which cubicle are we going to go into?

I hope I don't come across whatever's making that smell. Yeah. Was this posted like on the week? Because this sounds like a, I don't want to be crass, but a booze poos. Doesn't it?

Like a pre-drink, post-drinking. Like a Sunday. A Sunday situation. No, it's like more looks like from during the week. Oh, okay. Yeah. Still could have been.

Grim. Yeah, could have been. There's, you know, I think the unsung hero of the mall is the mall toilet cleaner. Oh, absolutely. They're going to write out who did it and what time they cleaned it. Yep. Don't they? We should have to do the same for pooping at a mall before

we can unlock the toilet door. So there's what, a shaming? Yes. Right. And an automatic camera takes a photo of the bowl pre and then post. Right. And then you can be named and shamed on the big screens in the mall. You're walking around, there's an ad for Lemsip and then

it flicks to the next digital thing and it's like Carl Fletcher did this at 11 o'clock this morning. There was no brush. There was no brush. That's the other thing. If they're not going to supply you with a brush. Oh, I don't think I'd want to touch it. No, neither.

Even if there was one. The brush. Yeah. Wrap a bit of toilet paper around the handle. They have brushes here, but people don't use them. It's grim ass. What happens when people leave their own house?

They turn into animals and just like don't hang up after themselves. Yeah. They do. You're right. But surely people don't leave. I was going to say,

surely people don't leave their own toilets in that situation, but they probably do. They probably do. Play Z do. They probably do. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Olympics, as we know, are in full swing. And the Olympic Village, we were just discussing how many people would be at the Olympic Village.

Well, there's 11,000 registered athletes. Right. But where do the coaches and support staff for a team stay? They'd be in the Olympic Village too, right? I assume so. Yeah. Judges, the kind of officials. Yeah.

Imagine they'd all be there or in hotels close by. Yeah. We're in proximity. A New York comedian has gone viral, his TikTok, close to 7 million views now for a hack or something that he tried on Tinder. He posted a video saying that he had paid for Tinder Plus, which means when you do that, you can change your location to anywhere in the world.

You can sort of preempt if you're going somewhere. Yeah, so you could be like, if you were going somewhere, you'd put it on and then sort yourself out a hookup for when you arrive. Sure, basically. So he changed his location. where you'd put it on and then sort yourself out a hookup for when you arrive. Sure, basically. So he changed his location. He paid for Tinder Plus, changed his location to the Games Village, the Athletes Village.

Okay. And, yeah, matched with a couple of athletes. And that's what the video showed. And you're close to 7 million now. So I don't know if this is going to lead to other people trying the same thing. I don't know how many athletes would be on Tinder compared to, say, previous games because weren't there rules about not being able to leave your room? Who got asked to leave the Olympic Village? Yeah, there was a few at the weekend.

They snuck out for a sightseeing, sightseeing tour And got asked to leave Was that the Georgian? Maybe I know that they were Stripped of accreditation Georgian judokos Which means I think you do judo

Yeah They weren't allowed back in But if you skipped to go sightseeing If you finished your games Wouldn't you Just go for it You'd try it on I don't know

Covid's kind of Yeah I don't know if I would actually. COVID's enough to put me off. Yeah. It's a lot. COVID numbers have gone crazy in Japan as well. Yeah. There was like 4,000 new cases yesterday.

Yeah, right. Within the day. So that's not great. And it seems pretty, from seeing athletes and having a friend there, it's pretty full on. The military's involved. You have daily temperature checks. Pretty nuts.

Daily temperature checks. Yeah. I've seen them signing in every athlete, signing something as they compete. Like the swimmers, even when they were getting out of the pool, they'd like sign something. Is that like the fully track and trace of the athletes? Because they obviously can't carry their phones on them when they're

in the pool. Yeah, maybe. Imagine if they had to drag their phones behind them in one of those little waterproof bags and get out and scan the QR code.

Yeah. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. This study has looked into relationships during the pandemic and how they've changed and they've found

that 60, this is just blowing my mind, 62% of people in committed relationships are keeping someone on the back burner. That's wild. 62%. That's like, do you mean like a backup partner

if this one falls over? Yeah. Wild. Wild. It's a back element. So who's going to admit that? That's a trap. I know.

That's a straight trap. That's like if you're asked if you've done drugs in the last year. And if you have, no one says yes because it's a trap. So keeping that in mind the stat probably is higher because people wouldn't have admitted to it. No. That's

62%. If you're in the car with your partner right now. Don't. They're the 40% that have just said absolutely no. Definitely are. Yeah. Definitely are. But we've heard this stat before that people during the pandemic are going back to exes because it's harder

to meet people, I guess, in current times so you just go with the devil you know. Yeah, I mean, we've had it relatively normal but you think of places like, you know, the US and the UK where it's been pretty much locked down forever. So nearly two-thirds of people are saying they've got in touch with an ex-partner

and women are more likely to have sex with an ex. 54% of women have had sex with a former partner. Right. And 44% of men. It doesn't follow it up. How does that work? Hold on. There's got to be a simple explanation. Because surely...

What? What do you mean? If a female's more likely to have sex with an ex, that guy is also having sex with his ex by having sex with her. Yeah, true. Maybe they're the ones that initiate it?

Or want it most. Or do it more often. Does it follow it up with a stat about regret? That it does lead to bad feelings. So apparently having sex with an ex puts you in a bad mood. It says especially if you are in a relationship. I've never had sex that put me in a bad mood. Right. Have you ever had sex with put me in a bad mood. Right.

Have you had sex with an ex? No. No, neither. They generally don't want to see me again in any capacity. And my lovemaking was certainly not what I was holding the relationship to. Like, they're an ex for a reason, right? Yeah. I can't imagine wanting to go back there unless you, like,

those people who break up and it's kind of amicable and it's unfinished business. Yeah. I've never been in that situation. Have you, Fletch? Nah. I was going to say Sir Edmund Hillary didn't climb Everest again, but did he?

No, I don't think he did, no. Did you still the once? I think just the once, yeah. You don't get an extra medal for saying I've climbed it twice. You've done it, you know? Unless it was cloudy and you were like, well, I want to see. He went on and did other things. I remember he took the tractor to the South North Pole.

Whichever pole. One of the poles. The South North Pole. And he climbed some other mountains. Yeah. But he wasn't like, I'm doing that again for some shits and gigs. Nah, Sherpa Tenzing went up seven times. He's a Sherpa.

And that was the record until Sherpas beat it in 2018. Right. But yeah, I can't see how many times Sir Ed went up there. Did we give Tenzing a sir? Well, we're not allowed to This is not our jurisdiction It's not our jurisdiction Yeah

Come on Surely we can Chuck them a posture Like an honorary Yeah yeah No I'm unsure From the Muggy ZM Think Tank This is the Top 6

Hello there Ghost houses 40,000 apparently Ghost houses in Auckland Sat vacant That is equivalent to all the homes in Lower Hutt Wow That's insane to think about that like that

Yeah It's a whole town In that perspective It's like looking I saw this tweet before and it blew my mind High jump. Yeah. Look at the average height of the lounge door.

Yeah. Jump over it. No. That's how high the high jump is. Did you see them doing long jumps? Like seven metres. I was like, I'd be lucky to jump a metre. I know, do you know, because you know they make you... Remember when you did it, school and the line was always before the sand pit. I was lucky to even get to the sand pit.

Yeah, yeah. It's so far. So far. The hop, skip and the jump isn't at the Olympics anymore, eh? I don't know. I'm also ready for trampolining to be retired. How great was trampolining? So good.

Did you see the guy that missed the thing and his leg went down like we're used to before there were spring-free trampolines? We got a medal. Absolutely nutted himself. I would like're used to before there were spring-free trampolines. We got a medal. Absolutely nutted himself. I would like to see them do it on spring-free trampolines with the barriers on the side. Inside the MMA cages. Yeah, let's see how good they are.

Yeah, totally. MMA trampolining. Yes. Oh, my God. You go to kick someone in the face and they double bounce you and then they just got a clear shot of the gooch. Anyway, we're here to talk about ghost houses. 40,000, I will reiterate, 40,000, according to last

census, houses in Auckland sat empty. So I've got the top six problems with having a ghost landlord because I may have misinterpreted what a ghost house was. I saw the headline and then I wrote the top six and then Fletch encouraged. I saw the headline and then I wrote the top six and then Fletch encouraged me to read the story

and, well, the rest is history. Number six on the list of the top six problems of having a ghost landlord. They do their flat inspections in the middle of the night and they don't give you the 48 hours notice. Even if they do, you'll forget about it. You'll just wake up and I'll be like, number five on the list of the top six problems with having a ghost landlord.

They don't want you hanging your Ghostbusters movie posters anywhere in the house. They find that very offensive. Yeah, it is. It's a ghost appropriation. Very offensive. Yeah, for their state of spiritual something or the other. Sure. Number four on the list of the top six problems with having

a ghost landlord. You may think your landlord is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Very similar uniforms. Yeah, right. But subtle difference between a clan member and a ghost. You can't see through a clan member. That's how I always remember. When I'm seeing ghosts. And clan

members don't hover. Sometimes though it can be deceptive because they wear a robe right to the ground. It can look like a hover. Yeah, in the breeze. Again, stick with your opaqueness there. If you can see through them, they've got a transparent element to them. Okay, not a clan. They're not a clan member.

Or they're a ghost clan member. That's very confusing. That's another story for another day. Number three on the list of the top six problems with having a ghost for a landlord. If you're not looking after their house, they'll knock on you to your great-great-grandparents.

It's like, yeah. Okay, person I never met who apparently I'm related to who I look nothing like even though Hollywood movies taught me if I ever met my like great-great-great-great-grandparents I'd look almost exactly like them.

Okay, I'll start looking after the house number two on the list of the top six problems of having a ghost landlord they can tell there's a hole in the wall behind the poster or frame photo you've hung because they just walk through walls and that one's got less resistance because it's got a big hole in it

and number one on the list of the top six problems of the ghost landlord are when you ring them about a problem with the flat, they never pick up their phone because they can't. They're a ghost. They're like watching it ring and they're like, I tried to grab it. And they're like, wait, no, don't hang up. Oh, well, I'm a landlord.

Who cares? That is today's top six. ZDM's Fletchvorn and Megan. The president of the United States was, this was on the news. It was televised, meeting with the governors or some governors. And he was, you could see this happening, he's passed a note from the side by one of his staff. He actually ended up showing the note and making a thing of it. It says, Sir, there's something on your face.

What was it? I think it was a bit of food or something. Excuse me, sir. I think it was a bit of food or something. Excuse me, sir. I think it was a bit of food, like, on his chin. Aw. Because he has granddad age. I know. Yeah.

That's so cute. So they can totally, like, get something on their face. 78 years old. 79 at the end of the year. He's probably got a, he'd have a hanky, eh? He'd have a hanky there ready to go. Yeah, a tissue up his sleeve. A tissue or a hanky ready for a food spill.

Yeah. But, you know, like, how often would that, how great would that be? A note. That's a very respectful note because they respect him enough to tell him and then it's said. No, it's bad. It needs to be more specific on where on the face it is. And they say, Sue, you've got something on your face underneath your right eye.

Yes, because he's currently televised. You don't want to go start looking for it. True, because I just imagined it was like on the chin, but it could be anywhere. It could be anywhere. It could be anything. It could be in the teeth. It could have had a spaghetti splash up here.

It could have been sucking in a spaghetti and it just. Yeah, because the President of the United States is eating like a spaghetti toasty. Why not? He's the president. Do what he wants. Do what he wants. Do what he wants.

I was thinking more of a sit down classy spaghetti, by the way. I wasn't imagining he's just getting stuck into a spaghetti laden hot toasted sandwich, sealed toasted sandwich. But I thought, could we talk about this and take calls? Because do you wish there was a time when someone just told you

and gave you a note or just told you? Because have you ever gone through the day or a period of the day and you've gone to the bathroom, you've gone to wash your hands, you look in the mirror and you think, I have got food between my teeth or I've got something on my face and nobody, nobody told me. Yeah. All the time.

I always have food on my teeth and no one says anything. Bourne always has stuff on his face, but then I get a kick out of seeing how long it stays there. Doesn't worry me. His camera's in here and I'm like. You were only recording all the time. That's why I have porridge after the show now. Because it was often if I ate during, I'd get a whole rolled oat.

And I just watch it move as you talk. But see, at least I can understand getting some food on your face in a bed because you can't feel that, can you? Not really. No. Gets kind of lost in the bed. Hair doesn't have nerve endings in it. No. Otherwise, haircuts would be some of the most. Hair doesn't have nerve endings in it. No.

Otherwise, haircuts would be some of the most painful things people could experience. It'd be horrible. Thousands of, ah! Ah! We'd all just have really long hair, wouldn't we?

Yeah. But yeah, I mean, on your face though, God, that's so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing. I thought,

could we take some calls? 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. When did somebody not tell you that you had food On your face Or in your teeth And maybe you went To a job interview

Or a really important meeting What about other stuff On you Because you know Sometimes like A bird poo No I was thinking Like a pimple might

Decide to whitehead itself Oh yes At some way On the transit To work That's not fair It needs to be there In the morning

When you look in the mirror. Yeah. Not at all. It can't grow during the day. I get a real quick blurred look at my face in the mirror in the morning. Yeah. But it's not an in-depth look.

You don't stare too long? Nah. So it could be there before I left. Whatever. You turn on one of those really bright lights and you've got that magnified mirror and you give it a full. You've got a computer scanner.

Stick your face in a regular scanner. If you see someone at work and they've got like a real white head. I know. Are you just like, oh, my God, you didn't see that this morning, did you? Or it's just blossomed during the day. Or they're those people that let them dry out. No, those people are monsters. But are you supposed to tell them or not?

It's easier saying it's food, but not when it's a pimple. Yeah, I don't think you should tell someone they've got a pimple. I said to someone, you've got something here, and it was one of those little wee pimple plasters that you put on. Have you seen those? Hey, I'd never heard of them. So it just looked like they had something on their face. But I feel like that's...

It was like a little plaster to cover a pimple. I feel like that's more distracting than the pimple itself. Yeah. That plaster. Especially when it's not quite the right skin tone. No. It's almost, but not. All right.

So 0800DARLS.M9696. Give us a call or a text now. When did somebody not tell you that you had food on your face or in your teeth and maybe you went through some meetings? You went all day without knowing. The President of the United States was handed a note during a virtual teleconference. Sir, there's something on your face. And that's where you see him.

It was actually like a big bit of white, looked like maybe bread or some kind of carved-based treat. And it was just on his chin and he gives it a wipe. And then he looks down and he sees he's got it. So he didn't have to go searching his face too much longer. But then made light of the note and showed the press. Because I'm imagining they saw the whole thing happen. Well, it's better that you say what the note was

than to let the QAnon people Decide what the note was You know Yeah Exactly And have a run with it So we want to know When you've gone For an amount of time

Without your friends Or somebody telling you That you had something On your face Or maybe some Loot paper stuck somewhere Easily Or something in your teeth

The most popular response We've had on texts Is boogers. A rogue snot escaping the nose. Yep. That's so embarrassing. A couple of text messages of one sitting right at the door. Yeah, I don't know.

And they would, after a couple of job interviews, went to the bathroom and said, can I use the bathroom on the way out? And then they finished the job interview and you need to go wheeze. And they noticed that there's a booger sitting right there at the door. You're not telling someone in a job interview that you don't know that they've got a booger. But it sounds vain. I would always check before I went for like an important interview.

Yeah. So like check your teeth, check your face. Maybe you're flustered. Yeah. Especially if you had a rogue sneeze and you felt something solid and then you can't find it. It's unaccounted for. Yeah. Ange, what did somebody fail to point out to you? Well, I was doing that.

I was in the bathroom after going to the bathroom and looking at my face, making sure that I didn't have any food on my face or in my teeth. And I felt this kind of presence behind me and I looked and there was this lady and she was coming up to me and instead of saying to me, hey hun, you've got your skirt up and your undies, she actually pulled my

skirt out for me. And I just thought that was so lovely but also very weird. Far too familiar. I could have done it myself. Yeah, she made herself far too familiar with you. Yeah, unfortunately I didn't get her number, so.

Right. Right, but at least you didn't have to go out and go through half the day with your skirt and your undies. No, but then she went back to her table where she had like 20 friends and told them the story. Aww! I just sort of walked out with my shirt up my

undies. She sold you out. Unbelievable. Ange, thanks you. Rachel, what happened to you? How far through the day did you go? Well, it started with I damaged my garage door and the people from the garage

company came out and they fixed my garage door for me and they didn't charge me. And I was so grateful. And they were a big company. And I thought, right, I'll take them some beers and some cake. And so, you know, I baked the cake

and then I called into the supermarket and grabbed the beer. And I thought, oh, spirulina. I'll grab a spirulina drink. So I grabbed that and I started drinking it that's the dark green one and I started drinking that on the way to the company and I dropped it off

and I walked into this office, large office with quite a lot of people around and I was telling them how grateful I was and it was very kind of them and they were all looking at me rather odd and they were sort of like thank you, thank you. You know, like not, oh, thank you. Like, thank you. And sort of like nodding oddly. And I was like, God,

they're not very, a little bit odd in there. And there was about five or six of them. And I was thinking, oh, gee. And so they didn't seem very grateful. And I was a bit disappointed. I thought, that's odd. And so I went out to the car and I was driving on my way home about sort of an hour down the road and I looked up and glanced at myself in my car rear view mirror and I saw on the top of my lip I had this amazing green moustache.

And it was from the bottle. You know, I had this green moustache across my top lip and it honestly looked like I had the thickest moustache and I was so embarrassed. I wanted to turn around and drive back

and say, look, please, I don't have a moustache. it's me. It wasn't a green moustache. It's me, Rachel.

And I just, it was just a moustache and I just thought, I'm so embarrassed I can't even go back and tell them that I don't have a moustache. Oh, no. And you know they weren't eating I don't have a moustache. Oh, no.

And you know they weren't eating the cake from the crazy moustache lady. No. No, that was... Thank you so much for fixing my door. You should have just gone back to get the cake. My first thought was, they won't eat the cake. No way would you eat the cake from that lady. That lady's weird.

They'll be like, reluctantly drinking the beers, being like, this moustache lady better not have done anything to these beers. Just give them a wipe down first. Rachel, amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing that embarrassment. Ask some text messages in. I was on a second date, went to the bathroom, and an hour into the date I had a

massive piece of spinach in between my teeth. When I got out, I was so angry. I said, why didn't you tell me? And he said, I didn't want to embarrass you. This is our second date. How the hell do I broach this subject? Because what would you do on a date? Would you tell someone? Yeah, I would.

Yeah. I was in a job interview. There were three people interviewing me. And somebody said, you've got something on your chin. And I pulled it off. This is, by the way, a follow-up to the booger stories before. And I pulled it off. And it was a booger. And they up to the booger stories before. And I pulled it off and it was a booger and they said, what is it? And I was like,

it's a bit of food. And then they looked at me and I put it in my mouth. Oh! They started to lie. You didn't have to eat it. They had to follow through. Everyone eats the food that comes off their face.

No, they don't. You could have just wiped it on a napkin. Everyone eats the food that comes off their face. No, they don't. No, they don't. You could have just wiped it on a napkin. That's so grim. I love that they needed to know what it was. What is it? What is that? It's food.

Did they get the job? No. No. No. They ate food off their face. What do you think? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, if they'd known it was boogers, though, they definitely wouldn't have got the job because that's gross.

ZM's Flesh, Worn and Megan. Play ZM. I was wondering if this translates to New Zealand because Americans have said seven out of 10 of them have to make sure that they have snacks on them at all times. So when they go out, they take snacks with them. Well, what are they on the list of the fattest nations? Number 1 or 2?

And then we're 3. So I'd imagine it'd be up there. The most popular snack is potato chips. 56% of people will take chippies with them. At all times. And have them on them at all times. Like what, in their car glove box or something maybe?

Or at work in the drawer. I think the bit airy bag takes up too much space to be a super convenient travel snack. 55% say chocolate and 45% say candy lollies. The trouble is I don't see the point of taking all that stuff with you because at any point in your day, unless you're in the middle of nowhere, you're going to be near a dairy, a service station, a vending machine. I make a point of not taking it with me because I'll eat them. Yeah, exactly.

It's not like I'll be like, oh, I have one little lolly now. It's like I'll just eat all of it every day. So we did a wee poll on our socials. Do you pack snacks when you go out? 51% said no. And 49% said yes.

That's still a lot of people taking snacks. My best friend takes snacks in her bag everywhere. Multiple. Chocolate, lollies, licorice.

And I just said- I'll say no fruit. No, no, no. Absolutely not. And she's like tiny. When you're a parent, you always pack a licorice. And I just sit there. I'll say no fruit. No, no, no. Absolutely not. When you're a parent, you always pack a snack. Yeah. Right.

When you've got kids, you always pack a snack. She's constantly like, do you want your snack? Who had snacks in their glove box because they always got hangry? My brother-in-law had a bag of like trail mix because if they got trapped in traffic,

his wife would get hangry. Oh, his wife would get angry. Oh, his wife would. Right, yeah. And he could tell it was coming and he'd pop open the thing and be like, there you go. There's so many times I'm in the car and I'll be like,

oh, I wish I had a snack. No, you don't because you just eat it. It's forced not eating. I had jerky in the glove box. Oh, yeah. Is it all right to keep that in the glove box? I googled it. What does warm jerky taste like when it's been in a summer glove box. Oh, yeah. Is it all right to keep that in the glove box? I googled it. What does warm jerky taste like when it's been in a summer glove box for a whole day?

I don't know. I never ate it in the heat of the day in a glove box. Do you normally be heading home from work, sort of like your earlier day? Yeah. Great snack. I feel like an AM jerky's not right either. I feel like it's a period snack. Great time of the day for a jerky.

Anytime. Anytime of the day is a good time of the day for a jerky. Anytime. Anytime of the day is a good time of the day to be chewing on some dried meats. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. The Olympics. The 2020 Olympics even though it's 2021, which every now and then... Throws me every time. Yeah. Needs a little

something. Medals-wise, are we still on 10? Are we still on 10? Or have we gone for 11? Because I must say my favourite medal so far in the Olympics has to be the Black Ferns gold. Oh, that was a great game. That thing was totally fought with passion.

So we're 12th on the medals table. Four golds, three silver, and four bronze. A total of 11 medals. Right, 11. Which, on the per capita table, has anyone done one of those? I haven't seen a per capita table yet. Oh, we always do well on that, don't we? Yeah.

Yeah. That's our best. Oh, so we're 10th. We're still 10th? 12th. 12th. Oh, God damn it. We were 10th yesterday.

12th, yeah. Who's pushed us out? Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, South Korea, France, Great Britain, ROC, Aussie, Japan, US and China above us are all up there. What's the most amount of medals we've won at an Olympics? Because aren't we close to getting out? We're on track. Are we?

Yeah. Is it 14? It's pretty mind-blowing to see countries like, say, Argentina, massive country, 72 on the table. They've literally won one bronze medal.

Finland, they've won a bronze. That's all. That's all. Mexico, three bronze. And we're like smashing massive countries.

Yeah, but you go to the Winter Olympics, that's Finland's home, baby. That's where Finland thrives. Yeah. Them snow sports. The summer ones, not so much. Turkmen baby. That's where Finland thrives. Them snow sports. The summer ones, not so much. Turkmenistan.

They've only got one silver. I don't laugh at Turkmenistan. Shame on them. Don't laugh at Turkmenistan. I'll disappear. You don't want to garner the ire of the Turkmenistanese government. All right, so looking forward to today. Lisa Carrington's out on the water

and a strong medal contention. She's just an absolute machine, isn't she? She is a machine. Just before one o'clock today, their kayak singles, that's 200 metres. nzherald.co.nz If you click on their thing, it gives you their, out of five stars,

what their medal chances are. Oh, okay. Five stars. She's got a good are. Oh, okay. Five stars! She's got a good chance. For that one. And then, not even, well, just over two hours later, Lisa Carrington's in the kayak doubles over 500

metres. And with Caitlin Regal, also, Tennille Hatton and Alicia Hosking are doing the kayak doubles today as well. There's some weightlifting happening. Kanan Andrews-Nahu in the 87kg class. Also, Snow Hanson and Wilcox are in a boat.

Okay. And I know that because it's got a little logo. It's got a little boat. Okay. I was confused as to what this logo meant because it didn't look much like someone jumping off a three-metre board, but Anton Downs Jenkins on the three-metre springboard this afternoon. The diving, yeah, right. Burling and Tuke.

They're a five-star chance of a medal as well in the 49ers. Team Pursuit for the women's cycling is on today. And then at 8 o'clock this evening, people are jumping on their horses and letting the horses do all the work with their tight ponytails on an actual pony, which is nice to see. And the humans just hold on for all dear life, and the horse does all the work. And at the end, did the horse get a medal?

No. The horse does not get its own medal. Just gets a snack, probably, and a pat. Pretty good some oats. Tim Price, Jessie Campbell Campbell and Janelle Price. The Price is doing very well there in the eventing. The eventing team happening as well. Men's Pursuit Cycling.

The Black Sticks woman tonight. This is the quarterfinals that they advanced to despite losing to China at the weekend. This is in hockey. But it's against the Netherlands. Who are. Oh, yeah. And they always have a sexy orange uniform, don't they? Very sexy.

Very sexy. Sexy little traffic cones. That goes for the man and the woman. Both teams, very sexy little traffic cones as they hoon around the hockey turf. And Laurel Hubbard competes tonight at 10-11, tonight in the 87

kg plus. That's for a medal as well, I think. That must be what it means when it's got a little medal beside it. I think it does, yeah. So apparently Rio was our 18 medals was our best. So what are we on at the moment? 11. Okay. That's what we've got

to beat. 18 at Rio. Doable. Totally doable. People up to know. Especially if the horses get one. That counts as two. Again, they don't get that. I'm strongly

petitioning for the horses to get their own medals. So when they left Chewbacca out at the end of Star Wars, he didn't get a medal. He was on the

Millennium Falcon. He did just as much as everybody else. Do you get that reference? Luke Skywalker got a medal. Chewbacca just stood

there looking like a fool with his bandolier on. I'm only waiting for the medal. I didn't come and he'd be like, well, this feels a bit

racist, to be honest. And now the horses have to go through the same thing every Olympics. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. Speciesist. Very speciesist. So it kicks off at one o'clock today with Lisa Carrington.

Strong, metal hopeful. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. My mother is staying with me for three weeks. I'm very grateful because she's helping me out with my six-month-old because my husband's going away on tour. He's touring Mr. Puss on the road. Excuse me? King Puss.

King Puss, sorry. Sorry, King Puss. That royal title can't be ignored. He's on the road. Wellington and Christchurch, get your tickets now. But yeah, I'm very grateful that she's coming in. I'm encouraging people to go along and... Perv at your man?

Perv at your man. There's not a lot of perving happening. He's wearing like a lion costume. He's wearing a Lycra bodysuit. What about all the furries? It's padded. Yeah, but you know what those furries are like? They get excited over that tiger on the box of cornflakes.

Right, okay. That's great. Tony the Tiger. Yeah, okay. No, I'm quite happy for people to come and watch him. No, wait. He's on one of the bosses. Frosties. Or something like that. Anyway, they get very excited. Furries love that.

Regionally, furries get very excited about Skippy. Yeah, for sure. And if you've never heard anything about my mum before, she's different. She's already, she she's known my husband for almost 10 years, but she still gave him a wee butt grab last night and said all the dancing he's been doing has made it could you imagine

if someone's dad was doing that to their female partner their wife mom come on come on well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree though no but um yeah it's been a couple of days, and already I've been mortified by something my mother is wearing. So I'm doing lots of washing because, obviously, like, baby in the house. Amazing that she is wearing clothes because, famously, your parents are nudists. Yeah, it's winter. Yeah, but turn the air con up. Turn the heat pump up and, you know.

Your mum could do a Fujitsu ad like Stephen Fleming and she'd be stark as on my couch. They'd be like, yeah, round, I'll get stark as on my couch

with my Fujitsu heat pump. Yeah, well, I mean, she is like a nature. That's not the embarrassing thing. It's the clothes that she is wearing. So, yeah, I've been doing the washing.

And, okay, so I've been, disclaimer, I was pregnant, you know, like six months ago, obviously. And I was wearing underwear that goes like up over the bump. So like lots of like high-waisted, I guess you could call them granny undies, like Bridget Jones situation. But now I've got accustomed to them and I kind of like the high-waisted sitch. Everyone does because they're super comfortable, right? Let yourself go. This is it. Yeah.

High-waisted is all. It's the rage. Women have been cutting themselves in half with G-strings for like decades. And it doesn't need to happen. Yeah. So I've been doing the washing. Wow. This is it.

Mark this down. What? She's given up. You'll be wearing Kmart track pants soon. Yeah, I'm wearing Kmart granny undies. Okay, fine. It's happened. No judge here.

No, I'm not judging. I just, I'm pleased. I, yeah, so I did the washing and as I'm hanging them out, I'm hanging them in the clothes horse because I don't want to use the dryer because I don't want to shrink our clothes and it's been raining. So I put it on the clothes horse inside, and beside my high-waisted unnies, my mother is wearing these tiny, lacy G-strings that are, like, way sexier than my underwear.

And she's not even doing it for your dad because he's not here. No. These are her every day and she says they're comfortable. I'm like, how is it that my mother is wearing sexier underwear than me? Oh, I just. It was horrific seeing my undies next to my mum's and they were like tiny, lacy sitch. If you were to ask someone in a poll or put a photo up

and say whose is whose. I don't know if I'd want to know the answer to that. So, yeah, that's quite an insight. So I'm going to hide the clothes source in case anyone comes around. Remember when your dog was yumming up undies? Yeah. If you left your undies on the floor for like. Remember when your dog was yumming up undies? Yeah. If you left your undies on the floor for like a second, your dog would be like.

Hasn't done that for a while, to be fair. Right. Yeah. Well, he's going to be able to floss his teeth with your mum's bones. Chewing on yours and he gets scared. He's like, no. It's gone straight. It wasn, no, it's gone straight. It wasn't enough,

it's gone straight down. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. It's like real life Tinder 9-me's. A woman's recounted a Scottish woman

has been on over 50 dates. She's written an essay for The Sun, which is a newspaper in the UK about online dating. She said she's had a range of bad experiences.

Being a taller lass, she said she was talking to this guy. He said he was six foot. Yeah. And he was approximately 5'3". Oh, yeah. Where she saw where he came up to on her and then went home and measured that mark, I assume. To that, over to people who don't wash before they go out, turning up like full-blown stinky.

There was a guy who was in his 60s who when he sent through photos of her, they were taken like 20 years ago. There's a whole lot, but she said the one, and this is what we want to talk about this morning, the one that really sticks with her is a guy asked if she was keen for a midweek walk for their first date, just a casual walk. And she was like, well, that's kind of like different and nice and outdoors and wore a cute dress, did the makeup. Yeah.

And started walking with, met up with the guy. He looked a little bit sad and he was carrying a bag and she was like, met up with the guy. He looked a little bit sad, and he was carrying a bag, and she was like, are you okay? And that's when he started to cry, and she said, what's in the bag? And he said, my cat. It just died. I'm going to bury him, and I didn't want to do it alone. Wow.

Fred was the cat's name. She knows this from the graveside vigil that he gave the cat. He said he just couldn't do it alone. Wow. Imagine your first date, you're tricked into going on a walk and it's a funeral for a cat. Feigned an emergency and fled the scene and then blocked him on the app because that was...

I think I'd go through with it. Because I'd feel so bad. Yeah. But in a bag, like a carry bag, like a... And then he would have had to dig a hole somewhere, right? Like, did he have a spade with him? Digging a hole is hard. It would have taken ages.

She doesn't say. Maybe he pre-dug the hole. I hope so. And then went back and got the bag and met up with her. Because you don't want to have to sit through someone digging a hole on a date, of course. No. Filling it in later. That's fine. That's fine.

But yeah, he took a dead cat on his date. Probably not going to get to anything of that level. But I was wondering if anyone's ever been on a date where somebody took something unexpected with them. Brought something along. Because that's the thing, you're trying to make an impression with someone

on a date. So maybe bringing a prop like show and tell, some people equate that to maybe being unique and different. A conversation starter. Yeah. Definitely. Okay, people have definitely taken along something. But not dead cats.

Not dead cats. No, not dead cats. No. But then maybe you've ended up doing something on a date like that's involved that. Yeah. What would you rather? up doing something on a date like that's involved that. Yeah. What would you rather? They were just on the walk.

They were like, oh, hold on. It's here somewhere. And then they disappear into the bush and they come back with the cat at that stage. Yeah. Ta-da. What if it was just like sprinkling ashes? Is that better?

Not really. Pants ashes? Yeah. I'd want some forewarning. Yeah, any death I like to be forewarn sashes. Yeah. I'd want some forewarning. Yeah, any death I like to be forewarned about. Yeah. Big fan of getting a heads up about death being included. Yeah.

In any outing. In the first date. Yeah. Yeah. Just to prep myself for that one. Okay, well, maybe someone brought along a pet or an animal alive, and it was weird. Maybe someone brought their pet rat.

Like support animal. Yes, sure. Or an unannounced child. Oh yeah. Like that's fine. That's fine but a really full on way to break it to them. Well they're not getting out of it are they? Yeah but you're paying

for their meal, you've got to stop, get a happy meal on the way. Now you've got to buy for two. Yeah we're here now so should we just get this? Or maybe somebody unexpected, because a lot of people like to buy for two. Yeah, we're here now, so should we just get this? Yeah, or maybe somebody unexpected, because a lot of people like to take a friend. Yeah, but they kind of stand at a safe distance, right? Because they keep an eye on them.

Yeah, but maybe someone just turned up with a friend and they're like, well, they're here too. They're here. And you're like, oh, okay. This is here. This is happening. All right, well, give us a call. 0800-DARLS-IT-IN.

You can text in as well, 9696. Maybe a home detention bracelet. Maybe they brought their home detention bracelet with them and you weren't expecting that. We want to know when someone brought something weird with them on a date. All right, give us a call. A Scottish lass has written an essay for her 50 or so dates on Tinder and cites a guy bringing his dead cat for burial.

Bing. He just needed a friend to go with him. Amongst the worst. Yeah, couldn't stand to do it by himself. Where were his friends? Celia from the office who works here at ZM, when was this date, Celia? Hello.

Maybe like around summer this year. Okay. And what did this guy bring to the date? Well, he was an aspiring actor and like we're just having two drinks and then suddenly he whipped out his phone and showed me his entire show reel he's got a sizzle reel on hand that's everything that he's ever acted in yep and not gonna lie it wasn't very long but but it was quite awkward. What did he say after that? Oh, he was like, wow, that's great.

So you acted in response to his acting. I like that. Right, did he get a second date, Celia? No, no, no. Had he done ads? Had he done a TV ad? Yep, yep. I probably shouldn't say the brand.

No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I don't know if it's a super identifiable one. Just tell us when you get here. Shoreland Street? Is it down Shoreland Street? No, not yet. I think that's next on the list of drinks.

Oh, okay. Brilliant. All right, Celia, thanks for sharing. Ask some messages in. We've got a reply on Instagram from Pauline saying she once went

on a date with a guy who was wearing a cursed necklace, according to him, and proceeded to tell me all about how it was cursed and who cursed it and how he could feel

the presence of ghosts. Why would you bring that to a date? You're not trying to scare them off. Yeah. You slam that in the middle of the Bible before you leave home, for God's sake. Keep the ghosts in the middle of the good books. Don't take it on a date.

That's just inviting trouble, isn't it? Yeah. Absolutely inviting trouble. I went on a date with a girl once and she brought along her interpreter. Wow. Because she couldn't speak that incredible. The same language. Yeah.

Well, I mean, that's. That's a good. I mean, that's a great story to tell people. I wouldn't even be mad. I'd just be like, this is going to be a great story to tell everyone. I've not done a lot of talking through an interpreter, but do you talk to the person Or do you talk to the interpreter No you talk to the person

To make eye contact So you could save money on an interpreter And just use the Google Translate app Because you can speak into it And they could have their phone On their language to yours And you could have your phone on your phone Oh it's so romantic

Speak Wait for Google to repeat it Wait for them to speak to yours and you can have your phone on your face. Language to theirs. Oh, it's so romantic. Speak. Wait for Google to repeat it. Wait for them to speak. Google to repeat it back. There's a lot of silence in waiting. A guy I went on a date with decided to bring his mate with him without me knowing jokes on him because it was his friend's bed that I ended up in. Oh, that backfired,

didn't it? Yeah. This one takes a little bit of road mapping. The ex. On our first date, he bought the ex. We took her to the airport. She was upset that he made her sit in the back seat instead of making

me move to the back seat. No, if you're first out, you get the back seat. That's the rule. Wait, was this the first date? The first date, the guy took the ex to the airport. Now the person on the date sat in the front, and that upset the ex, who, even though they were the ex, believed they should have been in the front. Yeah.

What the? Why are you? I would have given the ex the front seat, just to avoid the awkwardness. I wouldn't have got in the car had I known that that was what was gonna happen okay it doesn't seem like the sort of thing at least you know you might be dating a guy who even after you break up will give you a lift to an airport that's well they're expensive to get to pre-2020 that was a big thing wasn't it yeah travel uh who how are you gonna get to the airport um my sister teased me all the time i'd

involve multiple potentials to the same group outing. I know someone that's done that. And then they'd figure it out once they got there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As someone that's witnessed this, it's very entertaining.

To be on the outside. Very entertaining to watch. But have you been on the, well, you've been invited to the date? No, but I've been there to witness it happening. Okay. And it's very, it's good fun.

Next time, can I come too? Absolutely. It's great fun, yeah. It's okay, good times. Somebody said that the first date there was a dog, which wouldn't have been problematic apart from the fact that I'd spent so much time telling him how allergic I am to dogs.

I don't know. Is he trying to immunise you by bringing a dog? Get you slowly used to that. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's Fact of the Day is about Lechtenstein at the Olympics. Lechtenstein. Familiar?

Very hard to spell. No. L-I-E. I before E except after C. This is I before E just before C. And it feels like I'm saying it wrong because there's a T in there and I've just noticed it and I've never noticed it all the time. Lech Tenstein might be.

Where's that? Europe. Yeah. Well, I figured Europe. Eastern Europe? Somewhere around there. Upper Europe. Upper.

Castle Europe. Castle Europe. Very castle-y. Everywhere in Europe is castle Europe. It feels like a very castle-y. Everywhere in Europe is castle Europe. It feels like a very castle-y. Well, today's fact of the day is Lechtenstein is the country with the biggest difference between Winter Olympics medals and Summer Olympics medals.

Oh, okay. It has 33 in total medals by the Winter Games, and it has zero medals by the Summer Games. It's got 38,000 people in it. It's sandwiched between Germany and Austria. It's very tiny. Yeah, yeah. Very tiny.

Carsly? Very carsly. I look at the first picture there. It's carsly. It's a car somewhere, yeah. It feels very... It's only 25 kilometres long. What?

The whole country is 25 kilometres long? It's tiny. Very tiny. I'm just googling. How the hell they got so many medals in the Winter Olympics? Because they live

on mountains. And they had a real run of it in 19, sorry, in 2018, the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

They got 28 medals. Oh no, sorry, they were ranked 28th. Right. They got, oh, they got our medal. Our medal.

Okay. So their best medal was at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, which the hardest part about Lake Placid, of course, was avoiding the giant crocodile that lives in Lake Placid. Yeah, hence the movie. Yeah, maybe it was frozen over, though. Yeah, it does. And the crocodile was stuck underneath being like, oh, I know the rudder.

I can smell their delicious Scandinavian blood, but I can't get to them. Are they always getting a medal in the same sport? Is it like skiing or something? I don't actually have. Oh, medals by winter sport. Alpine skiing, Megan. Yes.

Okay, right. That's all they've won. They've all won medals for at the Winter Olympics. Two golds, two silvers, and six bronzes. So they've won 10 medals at the Winter Olympics. Two golds, two silvers and six bronzes. So they've won ten medals at the Winter Olympics and zero medals at the Summer Olympics. Right. They've been to

most of the Summer Olympics. They didn't go to Moscow in 1980 or 1956 Melbourne. By the way, another thing I see because I'm doing an Olympic fact of the days. Yeah. And a lot of them are about the history of the Olympics. And you look at where they've been hosted and like right now, Tokyo, Japan. And a lot of them are about like the history of the Olympics and you like, you look at the, where they've been hosted and like right now,

Tokyo, Japan, and it'll have the Japanese flag next to it. Rio de Janeiro and you go back, London, Beijing, the Greek flag,

Greece's flag for when it was in Athens. You go back to 1936, it's Nazi Germany's swastika flag. I know. Because in 72, it was in Munich

and they used the Black Yeah Red, yellow Yeah But yeah you go back to 36 And of course it was the The early fledgling days

Of Nazi Germany And it was It was Very much the Nazi flag And it's still that way On all the Yeah right Yeah all of them

So today's fact of the day Is Lechtenstein Is the country with the biggest difference in medals between the summer games and the winter games. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. My father, dairy farmer, victim of crime over the weekend. Goodness me.

He said, you'll never guess what got stolen. And I was like, oh, fun game, because that means it's not going to be an easy steal. Oh, can I guess? Was it a cow? No, it wasn't a cow. Mind you, I think sheep, lambs would be very easy to steal at this time of year. Yeah, but they all have tags on them though, eh? No, not lambs.

Oh, not lambs. Calves do. They're all like night registered and stuff. Yeah. Pretty soon after birth. But yeah, I just saw this paddock full of lambs. I was like, you can grab one of those if you want. Oh, don't do that though.

No, don't though, because they need their mom and they need the milk and everything. Yeah. But what got stolen was his two massive feed bins. Look at this. This is how big they are. So that looks like a dinghy on wheels.

A long dinghy canoe. It's like a really old canoe. It's massive. I'd say each foot five metres long. Each of them knows fibreglass. Oh, okay. On a steel frame. Yep. And it's got wheels long. Each of them knows fibreglass. Oh, okay. On a steel frame. Yep.

And it's got wheels on it because he tows them behind the quad bike. Yeah. Put meal in there for the calves. And then you can tow them like a train. You can have like three in a row. That's pretty cool. You sit in the back. You feel like you're in the caboose.

And do they chase them down? Yep. I'd just drive around and be like, catch me. And the cows are like, please stop for snacks. But so they're really big. And whilst they can be towed, they're only on tyres for like farm use. If you drive on the road, they make a huge whirring noise. Right.

Anyway, somebody stole them. It was like, I don't even know. I don't know how they, apparently they smashed the padlock that had the gate. Yeah. Got in, grabbed these, wheeled them out to the road. He said, you can see they've towed them up the road because the mud was coming off the tires. I don't know how far they could have towed them.

And he was just like, oh, blows your bloody mind. Steve Roach from around the corner had one pinch too. It's a good time of the year for a dairy farmer. Because it's carving and everybody's tired and it's a row. Then he messaged me yesterday saying, look, a lot showed up. And he sent me photos. They'd return them because, yeah,

my parents live by an old rural hall and they'd put them back there. They didn't put them back in the paddock where they stole them from. They put them there knowing that someone would spot them because all the farmers talk. Yeah, right. Oh, Ian, you bloody.

So what, they stole them and then they got cold feet? And returned them. Or did they think there was something that they weren't and they were like, oh, no, these suck. Or were they stealing something because somebody needed it? Because I said to Dad, what's the deal with, like, farmers getting stolen off? Yeah.

And it'll be like they'll sell somebody something. Like they might have, for example, they might have sold one of those to somebody. Someone's like oh geez if you could do with a couple more

of these if your mate. Yeah right. You know is selling anymore. And so they go out and they try to pinch them to sell the

order stealing to order. But then maybe those were too recognisable or. Yeah. Not quite what they were after but they

put them back. Which is ballsy in itself, because then they had to transport them back, again, risking being seen. Yeah, and then also, I don't know why anyone steals from farmers, because, like, shotguns and stuff. They've got guns.

Like, said it's a really ballsy move to steal off a farmer. And, like, kind of conscientious, being like, oh, well, if we're not going to use them, let's take them back. No, don't just ditch it on the side of the road somewhere. Yeah, dump them miles away. Take them back. That's kind of cute. So he became,

he's like, I became a crime statistic, but now he's going to ring the police back because he left a message. Yeah. Because it happened on a Saturday, but now he's going to ring them back yesterday and leave the message so they'll be checking their messages and they'll be like, oh, it's been stolen. Hold on, got another message.

But I tell you what, if I was an area commander, that'd look great in my stats column. I'd write it up under crime and then immediately put it in the solves. It's like writing a to-do list and the first thing is write a to-do list. Cross it off. Splash one, done.

ZDM's Splash One and Megan. Look, I was having a beer on Friday. Yep. Got chatting to a guy who had been working on the Lord of the Rings series. Where were you? At the pub. You don't go to the... Why were you at the pub?

You don't go to the pub. I go to the pub. There you go. Yeah, I do. It's a Friday night tradition. Beer at the pub? Yeah. What pub?

The pub. This sounds really weird. Are you right? Wait, were you going out With your family For a meal Dinner No it was just a drink Weird

You don't do that But the family though Yeah we do So with the family Yeah that makes sense We order food or whatever And then we go and have a beer Or we wait

Yeah the kids love a beer No I had a beer at the weekend That tasted like a shandy Did it make you feel Like you were 11 again? Six. Six.

Sorry. We were talking about that recently like and my granddad used to literally pour us shandies when we were kids. That's wild.

Yeah. We were like six. We were rocking around with a big glass and it was half beer half lemonade. Still half a glass of beer. Yeah.

I know. Want me to have another one? Yeah. All right. Better go get me another bottle though. Still half a glass of beer. Yeah, I know. Let me have another one. Yeah, right. You better go get me another bottle though. You kids are draining them all. That was when they were drinking out of the big tallies. Oh, got the 80s. Okay.

Let's not encourage that. No. Just for the record. But for an adult, yum. Yeah. If you haven't had a shandy for a while, don't be afraid to stretch your legs on that. So I was having my shandy and this guy came to talk to our dog.

Yep. Ralph was there and he came to pet the dog and then we just got talking to this dude and he'd been working on the Lord of the Rings. Your dog was at the pub? Yeah, you let him take your dog into the pub. Jesus. And yeah, he'd been working on Lord of the Rings. Okay.

He'd also worked on Sweet Tooth. Yep. Lord of the Rings and Cowboy Bebop. Both of which, like the next day, well, the next day was when they were like, Season 2, Sweet Tooth, confirmed. Filming starts December or whenever it was. Yeah, right. He said, yeah, he knew they were coming back.

Oh, so you just got a little bit of sweet inside information. This is what we're living in. QMU needs a better like Hollywood name. You know, Wellington was Wellywood there when Peter Jackson was cranking out the movies Q-Mu would What? Well that's perfect Q-Mu would

Q-Mu would Q-Mu would Whoopi is just next door Maybe we could go for Who Who Who would Hard to say

Who would Who would That kind of works It sounds like It sounds like how Spanish people don't say owls. No, that doesn't work. Yeah. So, Lord of the Rings

is wrapped, apparently, the filming part. I don't know how many beers he'd had and if he should have been talking to me about this sort of thing, but if people were involved with

Lord of the Rings, the wrap party had happened. So aren't they rolling straight into the next season? There's a gap between to give people who

aren't based here a chance to go and see Family Between and then to get a bit of a start on. What is it called? Post-production when the filming's done but all the effects and everything have got to be there. Excited though to hear that Sweet Tooth is getting a second season because that is so good. Executive Intern

Arnie, you've just, no, she's been like, don't sign any spoilers because you're still watching yes that's how you speak it's not how I talk that's how you speak by the way but also don't give me any spoilers

yeah there was a place just literally around the corner from our house I'm talking from our end of our driveway to the end of their driveway would have been

three or four hundred metres tops yeah do you remember me saying there's this weird production going on and sometimes I'd be coming to work in the morning

and there'd be lights on and trees yeah or like at night Sweet Tooth was that where it was filming it was that close saying there's this weird production going on and sometimes I'd be coming to work in the morning and there'd be lights on in trees or at night. Sweet Tooth. Was that where it was filming? There was a filming thing real close and that was apparently Sweet Tooth. And those suburban houses

that look really weird and American, that's when if you've watched Sweet Tooth, when you're watching it and they're in suburban America at one stage. It's West Auckland somewhere, isn't it? It's a West in American. That's when, if you've watched Sweet Tooth, when you're watching it in their own suburban America at one stage. It's West Auckland somewhere, isn't it? It's a West Auckland suburb. Because I asked a friend that worked on it, and they said, yeah, it's saying that.

I forget the suburb, but I was like, I didn't know we had houses that looked like that. No, that's not really American. I think they were like the mass kind of made in the 90s, was it, or 2000s. No, it's like a brand new suburb. Oh, really? Yeah. There's this fun game you play when you're out West Auckland. You see those arrow signs, and they just have initials on them so if you see an st the money changed the initial lord of the

rings had no initials right this was enough it was simply an arrow because lotr is too recognizable now but then it's also not going to be called lord of the rings right but they just forget anything it was just an arrow oh and then that if you're working it, you know where to go. Yeah. I can't put ST now because that would be too obvious. Is what, Shortland Street? SHS? And the S's look upside down? Is that Shortland Street? Oh, okay.

Yeah. See, I don't live in our moving areas. Sometimes you see arrows and you're like, oh, no, I don't know what that is. But I want to follow just to see. And who would or Kimi would? I don't know. I'm not one of these. Yeah.

Yeah. No, you see directional arrows all the time. Yeah. Wow. Okay, well, that's exciting, filming the new seasons. Yeah, and Cowboy Bebop, which I'm excited about. That's an anime and it's going to be real action. And that's already been confirmed for season two and season one hasn't even done its thing yet.

You get so much information out of people, but the little do they know you're the biggest gossip. No, no, we talked about what I did, and then he told me all these things anyway. Oh, right, okay. But he probably didn't think you'd go on the radio and talk about it. Well, there was never an agreement. I didn't sign one of these famous Wholewood NDAs.

I wasn't meeting with high-level Wholewood, you know, people. Sure. ZM's Fleshworn and Megan.
