Starting point is 00:00:00 The ZM Podcast Network. Play! ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Day 47 of the lockdown and still, Vaughan, we're yet to see a sweet treat from the Papadopoulos household. No baking, no biscuits, no cakes, no savouries. Um, excuse me, you said you were going to make biscuits over the weekend? Okay, so here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:00:26 I went to the supermarket after we finished the show, and I was like, I'll get a big block of chocolate for the cookies, and then I ate the chocolate, and I was like, I don't need the cookies, I'll just have the chocolate. That's why you have to buy chocolate chips, because unless you're having a real bad day. No, I can eat chocolate chips, 100%. Yeah, they pour straight out of the bag into your mouth.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're just like, nom, nom, nom. Oh, okay. Because I bought all the ingredients to make those cream cheese ham scones. Oh, yeah, you were going to make scones. And so I said, I was looking at the recipe, and I said to the lady, oh, yeah, I need 12 pieces of ham. Oh, yeah. And she's like, what ham do you want?
Starting point is 00:00:57 I was like, I like that. And it was like the champagne manuka smoked ham. Oh, fancy. Well, I wanted them to be nice. But then I didn't know i was assuming each thing was one but it was folded over so instead of getting 12 yeah i technically got 24 of what i was hoping for and um it was quite heavy and it was quite an expensive thing of ham and i was like well that's okay and then the girls are like can we have some of the ham i was like yeah
Starting point is 00:01:23 let's have some of the ham and then then I had ham. They had ham. And then yesterday afternoon I was like, let's make those scones. We'd eaten all the ham. Wow. We polished off the ham before we got to make anything with the ham. So now I need to go back and get more ham. But half the ham. Half the ham.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Or half the ham plus a little nibs for the ride home. I was thinking probably the same amount of ham. Two separate bags. One is scone ham. Yes. And one is eating ham. And we've also eaten pretty much the whole bag of tasty grated cheese as well. So I need to get more cheese and more ham.
Starting point is 00:01:53 How good is it just to nibble on the grated cheese? Like you just go to the fridge, you're like, I just have nibs. Shardae always gets eat'em. I always get eat'em. Tasty is better. No, eat'em is the one because it's like a third less fat. It's like Colby, but it's less fat. Yeah, bullshit.
Starting point is 00:02:06 No, but no, it's just eating tasty. I just want to eat tasty ham. Yeah, I do. That's me, baby. Tasty's good for cooking. It's not good to eat out of the bag. Your wife's onto it. She gets it.
Starting point is 00:02:16 It's not good for eating out of the bag. No. It's a cooking cheese. Well, my fingers and mouth and tongue and digestive tract will disagree with you. Sit in, splish on a Megan. Don't get the trouble. We disagree with you. Thank you, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleech, Fawn and Megan.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Spring on Wednesday. First of September on Wednesday. And Daylight Savings was four weeks away yesterday. So we've got three more weekends. Yeah, three more weekends and then boom. Daylight savings. Definitely, definitely. That light's lasting longer into the evening already.
Starting point is 00:02:50 It is. It is, yes. It's lasting longer into the evening. Yep. September, you get excited because it's spring though
Starting point is 00:03:00 but then we get like flashes of cold all the time and you're like, ah. Yeah, well some cold smells this week apparently, but a snow forecast in places. Oh, awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:09 We're going to get out on the mountains. Shut up. I see you've covered with a positive outlook after the weekend. No, I just was like pretending to forget. Oh, you're right. I know. I got into the car park this morning and I was like, oh, yeah. Where is everybody?
Starting point is 00:03:21 I've got to put a mask on. I forgot about that. I literally didn't go anywhere over the weekend. But you're an anti-masker. No. Oh, not on here. Right, just off here. What?
Starting point is 00:03:34 You know how you're always like, I won't have comrade Ardern telling me what to do. That's what you always say. Yeah. Off here. Verbatim. No, I pulled into the car park. I was like,
Starting point is 00:03:45 where is every... Lazy shit. So the other breakfast radio shows are all just parking on the road. Quick in, quick out. Yeah, because level four, they're not giving out tickety wickities. No, there's no tickets
Starting point is 00:03:55 and there's no like the usual parking space. Yeah. I saw Sam Wallace in a disabled car park. I'll say it. And his big bloody Jeep diesel thing.
Starting point is 00:04:05 So he's out to... His car bike is literally by the entrance. This is what I'm struggling... I don't believe it would be any quicker for them to park out there than it would be to park where they normally park. Yeah. Tony Street's parked on the footpath,
Starting point is 00:04:17 like straight across. She just drove up to the door in her Ford Ranger. Yeah, the council know not to ticket her. She's just left her car running. Yeah. She's out of her car running. Yeah. She's out of here as soon as possible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Classic Tony Street. Yeah. She ran over somebody's bike. She's like, ah, cyclists, that sort of stuff. Classic her. Classic Streetie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah. A woman has talked. Oh, God. Yeah, a woman has talked. Oh, God. I know, she's talked. There again. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Wait for it, too. She said her Tinder's blowing up with dudes that are like, ah, don't worry about lockdown. Don't worry about lockdown. Let's get it on. Let's hook up, baby. I'm not in your bubble. You're not in my bubble.
Starting point is 00:04:58 But how about I put my bubble in your bubble? That is wild. Like, come on. Like, yesterday was our biggest case day. Yeah, 86. And before that, what was it, 87? I kind of tried to tune out of it over the weekend. Yeah, I did a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I didn't bother on Saturday. I only get one news services notifications, and they're fairly thrifty about what they deem worthy. The numbers are the things they deemed worthy and on Saturday it was like 82 and I was like Jesus. And then yesterday
Starting point is 00:05:28 it was like 86 and I was like Jesus. Alright, well the top six dealing with that. Yeah, the top six reasons not to breach
Starting point is 00:05:35 lockdown rules for Tinder hookups. It's coming up. Also, the last week your chance to get a free ride with the movie
Starting point is 00:05:40 Free Guy. All you've got to do is listen at 8 o'clock the activator just before the news if you get through. We'll pay you one of those boring mundane bills and give you the chance to double or nothing it as well. Joe Exotic
Starting point is 00:05:51 news next. No, he's not out of prison, but there is something happening that will upset him while he's in prison. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. Joe Exotic is still in prison, although, did you know that his sentence was reduced? So he originally got is still in prison, although did you know that his sentence was reduced? So he originally got 22 years in prison
Starting point is 00:06:07 for plotting to murder Carole Baskin. Yeah. All documented on the Netflix show. Which was 18 months ago that we all binged that. Was it? Yeah, that feels like, that was first lockdown. That was the big show of the first few months of 20. 20. 20.
Starting point is 00:06:26 It feels like forever ago. A federal appeals court said that he should get a shorter sentence. So they calculated his prison term wrong. So I don't know what it's been reduced to now. But he's still got cancer, doesn't he? Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he's getting out. It's still quite a long time.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But regardless, there's something happening out of prison that will be upsetting to him. Carol Baskin has sold his zoo. So she took control of that when he couldn't pay her in money. She seized his assets. Right, okay. But yeah, she has sold it. And part of the sale, according to the paperwork,
Starting point is 00:07:06 the new owners are expressly barred from using the land to house exotic animals of any kind or as a zoo, wildlife park or menagerie for 100 years. Is that so she's got the monopoly on the zoo in the area? Her zoo? Maybe. Maybe. That could have even been a term. With all the tiger cages and stuff, what else would you use it for if not an animal men Her zoo? Maybe. Maybe. That could have even been a tomb.
Starting point is 00:07:25 With all the tiger cages and stuff, what else would you use it for if not an animal menagerie? Yeah. And they also can't use any name related to Tiger King for any business or property. Lion Queen.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Somebody's just going to have to turn it into a farm, right? Yeah. Or just live there. Or develop it in some way. Yeah. But he, yeah, I mean, she's made a lot of money off it now. That'll be upsetting to him.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Doesn't actually say how much it's sold for, though. She hasn't released that detail. Yeah, right, okay. Because he was trying to get a Trump pardon, wasn't he? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Hee hee. I want to go back and watch that just for a bit of,
Starting point is 00:08:05 or do I want to remember that? No, I don't think you do. I think it's best left 18 months ago. Yeah. Remembered back there, not regurgitated again. But you were like, huh, we're locked down. This is fun. I'm not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:08:20 What will I watch? Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. A bride and groom in the UK, or actually the US, have divided the internet. They have posted, or somebody who went to their wedding actually, has posted an invoice that they received
Starting point is 00:08:37 from the bride and groom because they and their partner did not turn up to their wedding. But they said they were going to. They said they were going to. What's their reason? That's not a common thing. Well, I guess it's pandemic times maybe. Oh, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:08:50 They, last minute, were just like, well, we're not going. And then maybe they were also just like, oh, God, it's a huge social event with a lot of people. Ugh, not going. I don't like them that much. Here comes the Delta variant. That's kind of rude. That is kind of rude.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I mean, if I was going to pull that, for whatever reason I couldn't make a wedding, I would tell them. I'd be like, hey, look, here's a rubbish excuse. I can't make it. Yeah. So they know. Because as you know, you've both organized weddings, Megan too.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The catering, the per head, it's expensive. Oh, very expensive to have guests. Yeah, for sure. So they posted the invoice of $240 US. Whoa. Yeah. So $120 a head they're pricing it at. Yeah, the bill that they received was labelled
Starting point is 00:09:37 Wedding Reception Dinner No Show, with the price being $120 US each with a quantity of two. Good Lord. And the bill read, This invoice is being sent to you because you confirmed seats at the wedding reception during the final headcount. The amount above is the cost of your individual
Starting point is 00:09:52 seats. Because you didn't call or give proper notice that you wouldn't be in attendance, this amount is what you owe us for paying for your seats in advance. And the internet's like, no, you can't do that. The thing is, they obviously don't want to be friends anymore. Because how are you going to invoice your friends and then expect that relationship
Starting point is 00:10:11 to continue? Well, I guess if they didn't turn up to your wedding, yeah, how good of friends were they in the first place? Yeah, there needs to be a little bit of context on the backstory. Maybe they were better friends with one of the partners and they feel like the other partner poo-pooed it, scuttled it, if you will, at the last minute. So they're like, well, we'll invoice them. But then people are pointing out that's not a legal contract.
Starting point is 00:10:33 So they've got no leg to stand on. It's just kind of a real passag thing to do, I guess. Yeah. But did you have any no-shows? No. To yours? No, I think we didn't have any no-shows. No, that's what I was... No, I think we didn't have any no-shows. Oh, no, I had one no-show.
Starting point is 00:10:49 My uncle didn't turn up, but he also died that night, so he wasn't feeling very well. Oh, okay. Did you invoice anyone? No, I didn't send him an invoice, not to his estate afterwards. I would have invoiced the estate. Good chance to get some money out of a dead person. Hey, look, I know you're...
Starting point is 00:11:04 And I can't get pissy about it because I'm dead. Yeah, yeah. I know you invoiced the estate. Good chance to get some money out of a dead person. Hey, look. And they can't get pissy about it because they're dead. Yeah, yeah. I know you're dealing with a lot. I know you're dealing with a lot right now, about 150 would help. It's just that, you know, we pay for it and you win them. I don't know, like maybe if I am due to inherit
Starting point is 00:11:19 a lot from you, I could waive this. Yeah. 621, next on the show. Salvation Army shops, secondhand shops, op shops. Thrift. Thrift stores. They've got a request. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Charity shops in lockdown have a simple request. If you're cleaning out your wardrobe, your garage, and you're like, you know who would love this? Yeah. Huckery old thing that I don't want. Where can I put all this? The bin's full. The dump's shut.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I can't do a drop off at the dump. Well, people are dumping them outside. And here's the other thing, guys. It is in its final few days, seasonally, but it's been winter. And when you leave things outside, the thrift shop, the clothing bin, and it rains,
Starting point is 00:12:13 it becomes a nightmare. Yeah, it just becomes a soggy pile of crap. And if you put an old TV cabinet out there, because you're like, oh, they'll love this down the thrift shop. One of the glass doors isn't broken. It's going to get wet. It's going to swell. It's going to be completely worthless. And then they have to spend a
Starting point is 00:12:29 fortune actually getting rid of this stuff. They then have to pay to dump it, don't they? Because they can't use your crap. So this is the same request that they had last lockdown. Yes, because people are stuck at home they have found themselves so bored that they clean out things
Starting point is 00:12:45 That they've been putting off for years See, I haven't got to that stage yet But I do have a lot I could easily do a spring clean Yeah I need to do a good clean I could fill a skip Yeah, but I'm just like
Starting point is 00:12:55 Ah, Netflix Yeah I've been the same You've got a couple more weeks Oh, baking Oh yeah, I think we've all got a few weeks In Auckland especially. So maybe you could look into it.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yeah, but don't dump it outside. That's the thing, though. Without somewhere to put it, you'd just be cleaning it out to put it in a different pile. You have a big pile by your door or something. These people don't care, though, because they have signs outside saying if it's not open, don't leave it here. Well, could you be using the recycle bins, the clothing bins? Yes, but they get full. And because they're not being emptied with a priority,
Starting point is 00:13:31 people then just start putting stuff beside them when they're full. Well, if that's the case, just leave them in the garage in a bag. Yeah, until you can. Because it is nice that you want to give secondhand clothing and shoes and stuff that is in good condition to people who can sell it to raise money for, in some cases, the Cancer Foundation, the Children's Cancer Foundation, all that sort of social stuff. If you've got like a really holey T-shirt or some holey knickers,
Starting point is 00:13:59 don't they cut it out and make them into rags? Yeah, not your knickers. No one wants your knickers. I think even Greta Thunberg's all right with you chucking your knickers in the landfill. Is she? Yeah, even if you want to burn them knickers, burn them. The ozone hole's like, all right, those were knickers. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:14:17 That's okay. All right, good. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Like I said before, no spoilers of Love Island. I'm sure everyone's up to date, but I'm not. I don't actually know what happened. How far behind are you? There's 57 episodes and I am up to like 39.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Oh God, there are so many better TV shows you could be watching. But I'm also watching those. I've got time. Yeah, this is true. And I watched Luca at the weekend. I've been watching movies. Oh, that was good, eh? Oh my God, so good. Yeah, this is true. And I watched Luca at the weekend. I've been watching movies. Oh, that was good, eh? Oh my God, so good.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, great little... Fletch wouldn't be into it. Great little movie. Good movie. How do you win Love Island? So they... We sleep with the most people, don't you? People come in and out and in and out until they're in like relationships
Starting point is 00:14:59 and then people vote for who they want, who is in the most loving relationship. Does everybody vote for the best relationship? Or do people just vote for the hottest one? Well, I mean, I can't say what people vote for. Right. And also, we can't vote. So when you're watching it, it's like voting has closed. Yeah, but it's already done.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Let's be honest, the producers are rigging that. I know. Yeah. Craig and Sharon won, didn't they? Don't even joke. And Craig's like, I love you, Sharon. I love you too, yeah. Craig and Sharon won, didn't they? Don't even joke. And Craig's like, I love you, Sharon. I love you too, Craig. I don't know how you haven't seen it because I've seen the winners.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I didn't watch it, but I've seen the winners everywhere online. I've done a skiddly D. It's good. You've done a skiddly D, have you? Around the internet, which isn't easy. So anyway, I'm sure this happened last time Love Island UK came out, but in the UK, demand for cosmetic, and they're calling them tweakments, jumped 250% following Love Island. It's a treatment, but it's just a little one, like maybe just a little Botox. Just a little, just a little.
Starting point is 00:16:02 What? So Google Tweakments Has said The British were googling Do lip fillers hurt? And how much do lip fillers cost in the UK? Specifically They just look disgusting Um okay
Starting point is 00:16:17 You can't say that They do Why can't I say that? Everyone's like Absolute judgement You look disgusting This is the problem with Love Island and it's a catch-22
Starting point is 00:16:27 is because I watch it and I'm like... People look like they've been stung by a bee and they have a silly lips. You don't have to agree with their choice but they made the choice and then I'm like, it's probably,
Starting point is 00:16:35 and this is what Faye said, was because she feels insecure and then she feels insecure because maybe the guys she's surrounding herself with. So it's like a catch-22. I'm like, well, I don't want you to feel insecure,
Starting point is 00:16:45 and it's your body. You can do what you want with it. But you look bloody stupid. And then you get people online saying that kind of thing. So, yeah, I don't know what to think about it. I just try not to do it to them. But everyone else, I would have thought watching it, I would have thought, especially after the comments around Faye,
Starting point is 00:17:03 that people wouldn't have felt the need to go and get lip fillers. But that's not the case in the UK. They want lip fillers. There's always like, everyone wants them. Chavs, right? That's what the British call them? Yeah. They're the ones that talk like, ah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 And they like paint themselves. It looks like they've had a face full of Marmite. And you're like, you've gone too dark a shade. But again, I reckon in real life, maybe the lighting wasn't the same as what we got on the show. Did they even have any lights on? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:35 But yeah, I mean, those guys were problematic to me. I haven't, again, I haven't finished it. So if there's something that happens later, but yeah, I just, I don't know, man. Right, but it's certainly having an effect. But then so is the last 18 months of Zooming online. Yeah, I was looking at ourselves in the mirror too much. Yeah, constantly seeing ourselves on screen and thinking,
Starting point is 00:17:55 oh, how do I fix this? Well, I mean, everything's shut at the moment, so you can't do anything about it right now anyway. So just deal with your saggy face. Oh. From the vulnerable ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Hello there. An Auckland Tinder user out of curiosity. Well, remember it was last lockdown that producer Jared pre-Middy. We call that the PM days. Yeah, it's the PM days.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Confuses him because PM makes it feel like after something because it's kind of like after lunchtime. Yeah. Pre-Middy, it was during lockdown he got all those matches. I think it's a world record for Tinder matches.

Starting point is 00:23:51 For goods. Oh, wow, okay. Because they've just taken ages. Well, there's a lot of cars with very long waits on cars. People that are ordering new cars? Shipping, but also, is this microchip shortage? Yep, there's heaps of things. And also the fact that people had so much money to ordering new cars. Shipping, but also, is this microchip shortage? Yep. There's heaps of things.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And also the fact that people had so much money from not travelling and going overseas. Yeah. They're like, let's just buy a new car. So there's that, your microchips.
Starting point is 00:24:15 That's why a lot of electronics as well. If you were like, oh, we can't do a holiday this year, let's buy a brand new car. I know. How much are you spending on your holidays?
Starting point is 00:24:23 I know. So there is a massive supply issue and they're saying that they're seeing it in some areas in Australia already. Kmart was referenced in Australia. What happens? What's your wife going to do if she can't go to Kmart? And get her...
Starting point is 00:24:39 Save money. You're not upset at this at all? I'm not upset, no. But in saying that, they're saying you should get onto your christmas shopping early because if it's not on the shelf now you might not get it oh wow okay because ordering issues even if you order it now like it's four months away yeah also as soon as you can go to shops like buy stuff for christmas because you might not be able to go into
Starting point is 00:25:03 shops at christ. Yeah. But this is also a good thing. Just trying to not think too much about lockdowns. We can shop locally because obviously if it's made here and... Yeah, exactly. Get it to you, but then a lot of stuff isn't made here. But then maybe change your wish list for Christmas to stuff that we can get our hands on. But yeah, everyone always gives me shit for starting my Christmas
Starting point is 00:25:26 shopping and I have officially started it. Two weeks ago I started it. But also it's not a surprise when Christmas is. It happens at the same time every year. You'll be going past Halloween before you can get to Christmas. I'm not a huge Halloween celebrator.
Starting point is 00:25:41 No, I'm not a huge Halloween celebrator, but that's the mark for me. Yeah, you don't want to start thinking about Christmas until... Yeah, wait, tag. Wait, tag. We're going to talk about different shows to watch as Level 4's here for a large part of the country. Level 3, when is it? End of Tuesday?
Starting point is 00:26:01 Yeah. End of Tuesday for everywhere south of the Bombays, but everywhere north of the Bombays, level four will remain for a little bit longer. And with daily case numbers like in the 80s, yep, can kind of see why. Yeah. So different genres of shows to watch today.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Crime shows. We asked you if you have any that are particularly tickling your fancy and you'll be very pleased about the first on the list, Fletch, as people say from Netflix, SWAT. Oh, yeah. I binged that in like two weeks, all four seasons. Wow. It was quite interesting to see when like COVID came
Starting point is 00:26:38 and they had to like shoot around COVID. Like way more like solo car chases and like office, just chatting in the office more. So you can pinpoint when it happened. You could definitely tell, but they did a good job. They're still out and about and stuff. But yeah, it certainly made the season shorter. Like I think the fourth season's only like a third of the,
Starting point is 00:27:00 two thirds of the episodes. All right. Of normal. So this is the description. Sergeant Daniel and his team of officers in the Los Angeles Police Department fight hardcore criminals and strive to protect the public from danger. This could be any crime show. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:15 You love your cliche cop shows. Yeah, actually. And I love Criminal Minds as well. I love Criminal Minds. Also on the list, it's on Disney Plus under the Star brand. They've got like a majillion seasons of that. Haven't they done like 18 seasons of Criminal Minds? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:31 And they're all on Disney Plus. An elite group of profilers analyse the nation's most dangerous criminal minds to anticipate their next moves before they strike again. Yeah. The guy from SWAT, we used to be in Criminal Minds. I think that's why I like it. Well, he left. He left. He can't double dip the chip. He got poached to go to the other show. He got poached to be the head of a show. Yeah, the guy from SWAT. We used to be in Criminal Minds. I think that's why I like it. Well, he left. He left.
Starting point is 00:27:45 He can't double dip the chip. He got poached to go to the other show. He got poached to be the head of a show. Yeah, exactly. Oh, right. He wasn't the star on Criminal Minds. Well, he caught not the star, but one of the big ones. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Clickbait is another one. This is new on Netflix. Megan, you watched a couple of episodes of this? I've started watching it. Yeah, a couple of episodes. What's the deal with this show? Because I've seen it on the little... He's got the guy from Entourage, Adrian Grenier.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Oh, really? Yeah. I want to see him working again. Okay. Were you worried about him not working? Well, I just thought he was going to be the next big thing after Entourage. Okay. And then he was in an Air New Zealand safety video.
Starting point is 00:28:18 That's right. And kind of fizzled out. That's right. I mean, that's probably a good sign if you can afford a Hollywood celebrity for your Air New Zealand safety video that you're not doing too well. Too much work. Yeah. So clickbait basically, and it's not a spoiler because it happens the very first episode,
Starting point is 00:28:33 a girl sees her brother on a viral video and he is holding up a sign, he's been beaten up and basically if the video gets to five million views, he's going to be murdered. And then we go down a... Oh my God, that sounds like a good premise. Yeah, and it starts good, but the second episode kind of fizzled for me. It's got 44% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:28:56 But a lot of people saying there's a big twist at the end, like a big finale surprise. Right. It's always when you do... It gets to 5 million, he gets killed, but then they give you a HelloFresh box. Or he starts spamming everyone with HelloFresh codes. But then 92% of Google users like the show and 7.3 out of 10 on IMDb for that show. Okay, so Rotten Tomatoes can be a bit picky.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Rotten Tomatoes is a bit hoity-toity. All the critics are like, ugh. They can be a bit like turn their nose up at basic things. They might have decided. They wouldn't have liked SWAT. Just by seeing Adrian Glenhill from Entourage. They might have already made their mind up. Yeah, see Rotten Tomatoes, 48% for SWAT,
Starting point is 00:29:40 but 7 out of 10 IMDb and 90% Google users liked it. Right. Dr. Death is on TVNZ On Demand, based on the hit podcast and true story of Dr. Christopher Donchester. That's the worst part about watching that, is you realise, like, this is based on true events. It's pretty creepy.
Starting point is 00:29:57 His operating room for complex but routine spinal surgery start leaving permanently disabled or dead patients. Yeah, great show. And that's Pacey. Joshua Jackson. And Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater in that as well. Yep. The Flight Attendant. This has got Kaylee Cuoco
Starting point is 00:30:14 in it. Yeah, I've been meaning to watch this. She's executive producer of it as well. Right. She made so much money off the Big Bang Theory, now she can just be like, and I'll executive produce. And they're like, okay. She's like, ha ha ha ha. I spend a lot of money on horses. The flight attendant follows Cassie Bowden, who's Kaley Cuoco,
Starting point is 00:30:30 who gets thrust into a massive conspiracy after falling for a passenger named Alex Sokolov, which is the hot dude. He was on Game of Thrones. And he was hooking up with Raina James for a bit in Nashville. Nashville, yeah. He's a good looking boy. And he was on He was hooking up With Raina James Raina James For a bit In Nashville Oh was he Yeah yeah yeah He's a good looking boy
Starting point is 00:30:47 On one of her Transatlantic flights And then wakes up Next to his Bloody corpse Not knowing what's happened Oh that sounds good That came out
Starting point is 00:30:56 At the end of last year I think it was nominated For some Emmys and stuff Yeah good good Okay And Line of Duty Is on Netflix Yes
Starting point is 00:31:04 You love that You go on and on About Line of Duty Bad Coppers It's a great Yes You love that Bad Coppers Bad Coppers It's a great show, yeah, British and brilliant You watch so many shows about some Form of law enforcement Yeah, well I appreciate law enforcement You know I appreciate the law and law enforcement
Starting point is 00:31:19 Absolutely You have a real In fact we're going to talk more about your interaction With law enforcement soon on the show Well from a distance You went from a distance Screen to real life So new research
Starting point is 00:31:39 Has found that 20% Of couples are signing A prenuptial agreement before they get married, obviously. It's too late after. Yeah. That's up from 40 years ago, 1.5%. So now it's 20%.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Dare I say that 40 years ago, it might have been slightly more traditional to not sign it. And there was more of a traditional structure of what happens with wealth and stuff. Do you know what I mean? But I was also thinking people are getting married when they're a bit older now. So like you've got more personal.
Starting point is 00:32:19 True. You've got more assets going into it. You've got more assets to your 20s and 30s. Yeah. True. Like if you've saved your whole life and you're in your 30s, you've got a house, and then someone comes along and they don't, you'd be like, well.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I'm so glad that that wasn't us because that's so awkward. Do you not think like you'd do the whole thing and then you're like getting married and then you're like, hey. Well, it was great because Andrew was fresh out of high school when you got together and you'd just been absolutely fleeced by your first husband. So you both were starting with nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:50 It was a level playing field, that was. In fact, you brought more debt to that relationship, didn't you? Yeah, you're not wrong, actually. Don't say fresh out of high school. That's not a lie. No, he dropped out. So technically he wasn't fresh out of high school. If high school was an oven and he was a loaf of bread,
Starting point is 00:33:06 he'd be too hot to touch. You'd leave him on top of the oven for a bit on a cooling rack. You wouldn't ice him if he was a cake because the ice would just run straight off the side. You would have had to put him in the fridge for a bit if he was a cake to ice that. Well, if you were in a hurry to ice him before going out. But anyway, the point is you both came in with nothing, but maybe you had more debt.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Yeah, I had more debt. Can you have a prenup for debt? That's a great question. Like, I don't want my partner's gigantic doctor-student loan. Oh, no, your doctor-student loan, you want to stay with one of them, though. Because then they're going to pay that off faster. But if you've got like a broadcaster's loan.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Get out. That's what thecaster's loan. Get out. That's what the bank's called. Bad debt. Yeah. If you were together, you'd help pay off the debt, right? But then if you broke up, you'd be like,
Starting point is 00:33:52 you have to give me that money back or something. No, but that is a prenup because you've got a prenuptial. Oh, yeah, right. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It's going to say, yeah. But then how do you have that conversation with the love of your life? Hey, so while we're together, I'm going to pay this. But if you ever leave me, I'm going to take it all back. How do you have that conversation? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:34:13 I guess you just say, look, if we're together forever, you're going to get it all anyway. But if we're not. Give it back. Give it back. Yeah. Yeah. Because then, like, if you're really rich. Yeah. Yeah. Because then, like, if you're really rich.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah. And you know they resent you, but they're just staying with you because they don't want to lose the money. How many relationships would there be with what you've just described as happening? Yeah, just when you were saying that, I was like, I can think of a couple. Or like, you know, the ones where they're like, if you stay together for two years or five years, you get more money.
Starting point is 00:34:46 So you're like, oh, I hate them, but I'm going to hang in there for five years because I get more. Because people hate their jobs and get paid less. Yeah, totally. Oh, that's sad. That's horrible. That's horrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Cool. Do you think you would sign a prenup if you were in like a long-term relationship? Because like, in all honesty, your taste is for a hot piece of bread straight out of the oven as well. So they would be likely coming in with nothing and you – It doesn't last long enough to get to a prenup stage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:16 You bite the hot bread and you're like, too hot, too hot. And then that's over. Yeah. Well, you're just needing someone else to rag on. So you had the hot bread in your mouth. Anyway, moving on. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Yesterday, I, well, actually it had been noted
Starting point is 00:35:35 that of our six remaining Kardashians, we started with eight. Now this is for those that don't know, maybe new listeners to the show, your chickens. Yeah, we got eight chickens When we first got our chickens And we named them after the Kardashians So there's Caitlyn Chris
Starting point is 00:35:52 Rob Kim Chloe Courtney Kendall Kylie So who have we lost? Courtney
Starting point is 00:35:59 Kendall was the first to go Right Under shall we say mysterious Mysteriously We just told the kids that chicken left The second one to go was Courtney Courtney's
Starting point is 00:36:16 Insides came out That's right had a prolapse Prolapse This would have made great episodes. Courtney was a $50 euthanasia fee. Because the vet was there when she was like, oh, there's something hanging at your chicken. And I was like, oh, that doesn't look good.
Starting point is 00:36:35 And she's like, no. And then she's like, well, euthanise it. And I was like, the vet's there. And I was like, the farmer in me is like, you don't pay for that. You just. Oh, no, I couldn't. You couldn't bring yourself to do that, could you?
Starting point is 00:36:48 Probably not. Nah. It's easy to look back and be like, I could have saved myself 50 bucks and just spayed, but. That's how people do it. That's the best and most humane way to do it. Yeah, just real quick. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Get it done. So anyway, I held Courtney as the life drained out of her after she had a big needle of bright green stuff. Is that what it is? Yeah, it was bright green. Oh, see, I'd pay $50 for that. Just for the bright green experience. Is that how much Nan's going to cost to do as well
Starting point is 00:37:15 when this becomes legal? Oh, I reckon Nan might be $150 because she's at least three times as big as a chicken. Okay, you're Nan's. Six chickens. Six chickens. That would be $300. Oh, I'd be like, oh.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Nan, don't eat for the next week. We've only got $250. You're going to be five chicken tops. So that was the end of Courtney. So we're down Courtney. We're down to six. Well, yesterday I went to pour their favourite chook chow into their little chicken feeder.
Starting point is 00:37:49 And I was like, what are you doing? Psst, psst, psst, psst. What are you? Psst, psst. What's good? Hey, psst, psst, move. Psst, psst. Oh.
Starting point is 00:38:03 And that's when I was like I think that's dead so then I got down and I like poked it because it was so I was inside the chicken coop and then there's an outdoor aspect
Starting point is 00:38:13 yeah it's still covered but they like it in there because it's covered but the sun comes in in the afternoon oh lovely and yesterday
Starting point is 00:38:20 we lost Chris RIP Chris is on mama the mama jack oh no Chris was dead they say the devil works hard but Christina works harder yeah Yesterday we lost Chris. R.I.P. Chris has got mama. The mama cat. Oh, no. Chris was dead. They say the devil works hard, but Christina works harder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Too hard. So how many cluckdashians have you got left? Five. And it's not. And Kylie's got that. Remember Kylie I was telling you about the enlarged breast. Oh, God. She's not long for this earth either.
Starting point is 00:38:43 We could be another one. So yesterday I was like, psst, psst, and then poke, and I was like, no, that's a hard, cold chicken. That one. Oh, no. Not like a hot, soft chicken that you get from the... What did the other chickens do when, like, Chris was just there? They were out in the paddock. But when I went in and I
Starting point is 00:38:59 got Chris, and I was carrying her out, and then I shut the gate again. Who did you touch it? I would have got the gate again. Who did you touch it? I would have got a plastic bag. Who did you touch it? Yuck. The chicken's final moments on this earth shouldn't be encased in a single-use plastic bag. Yeah, but what if it's got something?
Starting point is 00:39:15 A black rubbish sack. Well, I washed my hands afterwards. I didn't kiss it. I didn't attempt mouth-to-mouth or anything. Yuck. Goodbye, Chris. I would. mouth or anything. Yuck. Goodbye, Chris. So I carried Chris out.
Starting point is 00:39:32 But when I was shutting the gate, Caitlin's like, I'll come out there. And I'm like, you've got. And then I shut the gate and her foot got caught a little bit. Not like crushed, but just like caught. Caitlin's. Caitlin's foot got caught. And she was like, and the other chickens ran over instead of picking her head. It was like they sensed weakness and they were like peck peck peck
Starting point is 00:39:48 but I didn't see them desecrating Chris's body so I opened the gate Caitlyn got out and like shook it off and they were like okay okay don't peck the head anymore
Starting point is 00:39:55 and then I walked around and I said to Indy can you get the spade we're gonna need to dig a hole yep and then she said and this is what I thought, this kid's clever.
Starting point is 00:40:06 She's like, what about that hole where you pulled out that post last week that you haven't filled in? And I was like, you got a good call. I've got a pre-dug hole. So the laziness in the Smith jeans is strong there. But are you still going to put a fence post in there? No, no, I dug a fence post out. Oh, okay. It was a fence post from an old fence, no, I dug a fence post out. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:25 It was a fence post from an old fence. Right. And I was like, how hard would this be to get out? Answer, very, very hard. Just put a couple of spadefuls on top because Kylie's only just hanging in there. Oh, my God. Where were you yesterday? It was deep enough to be a double dipper, a double dip brave.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Yeah, did you fill the whole thing in? Oh, it's filled in. Oh. Because there was this weird big chunk of old concrete that I didn't like, so I was like, that can go in. That's so weird. I would just drive into the country. You live in the country and then just chuck it on the side of the road.
Starting point is 00:40:53 For the hawks. That's a circle of life. That's a circle of life. That's a circle of life. Exactly. Well, we thought we'd do this. Who on culture did that? I mean, then you see a hawk flying by with Chris Jenner hanging from its talons.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Was it the Nepalese who would climb into the mountains and carry the dead body and leave them out for, like, the eagles to feast upon? Oh, I don't know. That sounds great, though. That's great. Because that's also laziness there. Yeah. It really is.
Starting point is 00:41:18 It's like it was a Nepalese chicken. You actually had a lot of people reaching out. Oh, well, I put a post up. Yeah. And people, I think, thought I was really serious because I put it up as an Instagram post, not an Instagram story. But the reason I put it up as an Instagram post
Starting point is 00:41:31 was I could not be bothered dealing with all the replies. It's because you're in lockdown and you're emotional. So comments are easier to deal with than replies to an Instagram story. But again, lots of people reaching out being like, are you okay? I know loss and lockdown hits people really, really hard.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It's nice. Put at the end, we'd appreciate privacy at this time. Not if I know it's hard. How horribly sarcastic you are. I didn't want too many messages. Again, to have to deal with it. I didn't want it to be an admin heavy loss.
Starting point is 00:42:01 I'll do the same when my mum dies. I'll be like, please respect our privacy at this time. But it's just, I won't be able to be an admin heavy loss. I'll do the same when my mum dies. I'll be like, please respect our privacy at this time. But it's just, I won't be able to deal with all the replies. I love you, Christine. And all the people being like, you did talk a lot about smothering your mother with a pillow. Was that the way she went? I'll be like, no comment, Your Honour.
Starting point is 00:42:18 We thought because it is level four and maybe you're not able to grieve normally, that would give you the chance to say a few words about your Chris Cluck Dashie in a eulogy form. Here we go. Wow, good theme. The year was 2019. Yep. When Chris and the rest of the Cluck Dashie hens
Starting point is 00:42:41 joined the Smith family. Three weeks later, they started laying eggs. I won't lie, for that three weeks, I thought I'd made a bad investment. But from then, she took a lead role within the Clutashe hens as the henager of the brood, taking 10% of all of the other chickens' earnings, which isn't bad when you think about how many of them are billionaires
Starting point is 00:43:07 are close to being so. Yeah. Kind of got a bit confused there between the real Kris Jenner and the real Kris Henner. Yeah. Of the cluckdashy hens. But she laid eggs,
Starting point is 00:43:17 and that's all I really wanted from her. She did get out every now and then and scratch up under the fruit trees where I put mulch, and I'd be like, I forgot you've made a right mess. And now I look back and I wish I hadn't raised my voice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I never got a chance to apologise for that. And now she's buried in a hole real deep because it used to have a strain of fence post in it. That's how she would have wanted it. Yes. A big... To you, Chris. Megan! Megan!
Starting point is 00:43:55 To you, Chris, as you spread your wings even though they're clipped so you can't fly over the fence. Only clip one chicken's wing because then they can't... Yeah, they get wobbly so you can't fly over the fence. I only clip one chicken's wing because then they can't. Yeah, they get wobbly. They can't fly over fences because they can't balance their flight. As you traverse to a great big open paddock with a warm chicken house in the sky. I assume it's the same sort of heavenly thing as Christians.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Unless it's a battery farm in hell. Oh my god, wow. If she'd been a bad chicken, that would be the case. But she was a good chicken. So she's not going to a small, caged dark barn. In hell, no.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Godspeed. I'll translate now for our chicken listeners. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Well, you may have seen on the news over the weekend, police stepping up their checkpoints around the country, and particularly in Auckland and Northland. What are they checking for the reason you're out? Yeah, just to make sure that you're not, you know, far away from home.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Although there was a lot of confusion. They were like, they've said now that you can go fishing as long as it's not on rocks, as long as it's not too far away. Okay. Because, you know, people still fish to feed their families. Okay. Well, that's good to know. In these COVID times.
Starting point is 00:45:22 And then they've said you can get in a car and go to exercise, but not too far. You mean like down to the local park? Yeah. Right. Not like across town to go to a park or a walking trail or something like that. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:45:36 But yes, I was out on one of my walks, lockdown walks, and stumbled across a police checkpoint. Oh, my God. So much fun. That was like a walking checkpoint. Oh my God. So much fun. That was like a walking checkpoint. Or did you just see it? So I was walking over an overbridge and then directly ahead of me
Starting point is 00:45:54 like 500 metres, the police had set up a checkpoint. At one of those points where you come around the road and there's no... It's too late. You see it ahead and you're like, oh man, now I can't turn around. I always think if I was a police officer I see a spot, I'm like, that's where I'd set up turn around. I always think if I was a police officer, I see a spot, I'm like, that's where I'd set up a checkpoint. I know,
Starting point is 00:46:06 I always do that too. I drive around a corner and like there'll be a car coming out of a driveway or something and you'll be like, whoa, like totally surprised me. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:46:13 that'd be a great place for a checkpoint. Yeah. And that's the thing, they'd pick this spot and I was there for like 45 minutes watching this. It was great entertainment and they were chasing down,
Starting point is 00:46:24 so people would come around the bend and see this checkpoint head and obviously think, oh shit, I shouldn't be out driving, I'm far away from home. And they would turn around, they'd pull over and do a Yui and police were waiting for them and then they'd chase them down. I saw it happen like five times.
Starting point is 00:46:39 This one guy just swerved over, this is one I put on my Instagram story over the weekend, he was in like the middle lane, saw the checkpoint, swerved erratically to the left and parked and then like pretended to get out like that's all he was doing, just going for a walk. This is where I was. What was he up to?
Starting point is 00:46:59 Well, I don't know. They chatted to him for like five minutes, turned him around and sent him back where he came from. But they pulled over people at the checkpoint, and they were taking a while, so I don't know if they were issuing tickets or infringements or what. But, yeah, there's certainly an increased presence out on the roads. So if you obviously don't need to be out, don't be out.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Don't go for a ticky tour. Yeah. Yeah, or just be a better liar. No. Am I a bad person? Don't go for a tiki tour. Yeah. Yeah, or just be a better liar. No. Am I a bad person? Okay, we have correspondence from someone who wants to know if they are a bad person. This is a lockdown situation.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And I think this would be an issue that a lot of flats will be facing in these lockdown times. Because lockdown was kind of quite last minute and people would have had to make decisions. Do you stay in the flat? Do you go to mum and dad's? Do you go to the boyfriend or the girlfriend's house? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 And this is what has happened here. So the email says, Hi guys, needing some help with flat drama at the Mo. Oh. My flatmate has decided to do lockdown with her girlfriend, leaving us two remaining flatmates in a super awkward position. She hasn't offered to contribute to bills and says she shouldn't have to pay for anything because she isn't using it. She's still paid rent for the last couple of weeks, but we usually pay a shared set amount into our flat account to cover the utilities. Her argument is that she's contributing to this other flat,
Starting point is 00:48:28 so our place is up to us. We're in Auckland, so it doesn't look like this problem is going to go away for at least the next couple of weeks. Are we crazy? Are we being crazy for asking her to stick to the agreement? Ooh. We've talked about this before, and I've made my thoughts on this. Well, Nolan, you sign up.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Socially, you're getting into this situation with other people. You're living with them. You divvy the bills equally. Whether you stay at your boyfriend or your girlfriend's house three nights of the week, whether you're away for a lockdown for two, it's on you. Because that's the decision you made, right?
Starting point is 00:49:04 So you made an agreement to go onto the flat and pay. If you then decide to go and spend some time somewhere else, it's like going on holiday, right? Yeah. You don't stop paying the bills when you go on holiday. Yeah, it's like arguments over, well, I don't use the dryer. I bet. I guarantee people who have gone on like a three-week holiday
Starting point is 00:49:22 would be like, well, I won't pay power and stuff while I'm gone, eh? I guarantee there would be people who have pulled that. They try to sublet their room so another stranger could come in and live with your flatmates. Yeah. Which is illegal, isn't it? Well, yeah, a lot of flats don't let you do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Yeah, that's a tricky one. Because, like, now you've left your flatmates in that situation and they have no way of rectifying it. So they are lumped with the bills. And then it's going to cause an argument and then there's going to be tension in the flat. They're just trying it on surely. Just say
Starting point is 00:49:56 no. You've got to be hard and firm from the start. No. Bills are shared equally. Lockdown or not. You chose to leave. You have a responsibility with this, Phil. Yeah. It's not on us that you've then decided to go somewhere else and pay there as well. 100%.
Starting point is 00:50:09 If you want to move out after lockdown, go for it. Man, Fletch, you're on a hard line. Do you agree, Morn? I feel there's got to be balance in the room. Like, I do, but I feel like I should just go with the other side to provide some sort of balance. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. That's what that radio consultant with the other side to provide some sort of balance. Oh, okay. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:50:25 That's what that radio consultant said that time. Yeah, yeah, provide balance. So the people who don't agree with you still feel like they have a stake in the show. I just wouldn't leave people in loops like that. You know what? No, she shouldn't have to pay. She's not there. Why should she have to contribute?
Starting point is 00:50:39 Why should she have to pay for somebody else to use the dryer? It's winter after all. The dryer's running around the clock. Why should she have to pay for somebody else to use the dryer? It's winter after all. The dryer's running around the clock. Why should she have to pay for the heat pump to be on when she's not there to have the warm air blowing in her face? See how easy it is. You're being silly, but then I kind of get that argument too. It's an expensive time of the year for the electricity bill.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Is there like a set amount that you should pay? Yeah. Because they're going to be using more electricity than they would have been otherwise. Dare I say they'll be using more internet too because they're on lockdown? They're at home, they're using internet. She's not there to use the internet.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Water. She's not there to use it. Everybody's at home during the day drinking water from the tap. She's not drinking water from the tap. Why should she pay for more water? What about a reduced amount? Because she signed up from the tap. She's not drinking water from the tap. Why should she pay for more water? What about a reduced amount? Because she signed up for the flat. I'll be happy if she only pays the connection fee for the water.
Starting point is 00:51:32 But then that should fall on the landlord because they've got to provide if it's just a flat. So, dare I say it, she shouldn't have to pay for a waterfall stop. Power, she should pay the connection fee, but that is all. Well, maybe you've been in this situation before or you've got an opinion. 0800 dials at M. Give us a call.
Starting point is 00:51:49 You can text as well. 9696. Are they bad people for asking their flatmate to still contribute to the flats bills? Do you agree with these two communists? Or do you agree with capitalist Vaughn? You know, just some common sense wouldn't go astray here. See how easy it is
Starting point is 00:52:05 to do this? Yeah. Now one of those talkback people, it's just a walk in the park, isn't it? They don't even believe it. I just rock up people
Starting point is 00:52:12 who care more about money than people and then just sit back and watch the world burn. I've had taste for it. Am I a bad person? So we've had correspondence from a flat.
Starting point is 00:52:24 It says, my flatmate has decided to do lockdown with her girlfriend. She hasn't offered to contribute to bills. And she says she shouldn't have to pay for anything else because she isn't using it. So she's paid rent for the past couple of weeks. But they usually pay a shared set amount into our flat account to cover the utilities. And she says she's contributing to the other flat, so she shouldn't have to pay. Cool. And imagine the other flat.
Starting point is 00:52:46 They're like, oh, God, now we've got someone else's partner locked in with us. But then is she going to the other flat and being like, well, I'm only paying a smaller amount because I'm not here all the time or I don't actually live here or... I don't know. This just...
Starting point is 00:53:00 We all agree, but I, for this part, will be playing a balance character. Okay, right, okay. I think she shouldn't have to pay at the flat she's not at. It's a user pays system. It makes sense. Well, we've got somebody. Laura, you actually moved out for lockdown.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yes, I did. So out of your flat, and where did you move into? I moved into my aunt and uncle's just out of lockdown. Yes, I did. So out of your flat and where did you move into? I moved into my aunt and uncle's just out of town. Okay, and then so are you paying your flat bills while you're away? Absolutely. Yeah, so you wouldn't try this, would you? No, because it's a dick move. You've also got to
Starting point is 00:53:38 move back in afterwards. Well, presumably. And you made the commitment, right, when you moved into a flat? Yeah, for sure. And there's, like, bills that don't change while you're gone. So you still get a daily charge for the power bill. You know, obviously you pay more depending on how much you use,
Starting point is 00:53:55 but you still get a daily charge. You still got to pay for the bin collection. You still got to pay for all that. Yes, but she's not putting rubbish in the bin. Yeah, but does she want that bin still there when she gets back? Because if they choose to change the bin collection, then is she going to pay all the extra? She's not there to deal with it.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It's money that she should be putting back in her own pocket. So if she decides to go on a month-long holiday. I completely agree with you, but I've got to provide the balance. She goes on a month long holiday across the world, not now. A holiday she's scrimped and saved for by making these sorts of financial cutbacks.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Again, I completely agree with you. I'm just trying to provide sort of this weird balance. But serious question though, like Devil's Advocate, they're going to be using more power and more heating. It's pronounced avocado. More heating and stuff while you're away. You worried about that? Like, the bills are going to be more than they would usually be.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Or did she discuss that with them when she moved out? Like, rather than just saying, I'm not paying anything, why not be like, hey, I'm going to move out. I am going to be having to pay bills at my girlfriend's place. Can we come to some agreement in the middle? I'll be like, no. It sounds like socialism at work and socialism never works.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Alright, Hosking. You know what the problem with socialism is? When you have finished spending somebody else's money, whose money will you be spending then? I'm lost. Laura, thank you. Small and medium business owners, other people shouldering this. Alicia, good morning.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Good morning. Now, what do you think? I think that Vaughan's playing an incredible part. Thank you. But he doesn't believe what he's saying, does he? And actually, a lot of it has made no sense whatsoever. Oh, this person is such a dick move. Like, you can't do that to people
Starting point is 00:55:45 who are already, you know, dealing with the stress of lockdown. And they made a commitment that they would, you know, share the bills. So they need to continue doing that. Or it should at least be a fee. A flat fee.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. Do you think Jeff Bezos paid bills for Amazon offices he was no longer using? No, and that's how he became a billionaire and he can go to space. And he's got a terrible reputation. We should all be according to you, communists.
Starting point is 00:56:15 The reputation of Jeff Bezos in the circles I move in is the upper crust, my friends, the utmost. A man whose money speaks. Alicia, thank you. We go to another Alicia. A lot of Alicia's per capita listening this morning. What do you think? Bad person or not?
Starting point is 00:56:33 Well, I'm not going to put a really, really big bold claim on it like that, but we're in a pandemic. If you're paying rent, that's great. Utilities, maybe we can let them slide at the moment. Right. At the end of the day, they're not going to be using that power. They're not going to be using whatever else there is.
Starting point is 00:56:55 So maybe we can just let that slide for now. Maybe they should be open to a bit of negotiation, maybe like pay maybe half of what you normally would. Well, I would probably let it go completely, but that's me thinking back when I was flatting. However, I do not flat now because I hated flatting, so I'm not very good at... For these very reasons, Alicia, for these very reasons. I don't know why more people don't just buy houses.
Starting point is 00:57:21 No comment, no comment. Why don't they just buy their own houses if they don't like the social living situation so much? Let's talk to producer Anna about that, yeah? Yeah, old moneybags McGee out there. All right, Alicia, thanks for you calling some messages in. I'd say overwhelmingly people, they're about 70% in our poll.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Oh, yeah, yeah, totally, totally. Don't be a dick, pay. Somebody said if she doesn't want to pay and if she had anything that required refrigeration, I'd throw it out. Because I was thinking, like, you'd just be like, okay, well, all your stuff's outside. Butter, everything.
Starting point is 00:57:56 I'd be like, everything in the pantry went off, but we ate it. Yeah. That's what happened. You know, people generally agree, especially to not discuss it Prior to Yeah
Starting point is 00:58:07 I said Fletch That this is the sort of Discussion you need When forming a flat And you said People should need to discuss this But so many people
Starting point is 00:58:15 Have messaged in saying You learn after this happens Two or three times Someone literally said I'm going on holiday For three weeks So I'm not going to be Paying for the power bill
Starting point is 00:58:22 Well I And that's why every time Even in the 2000s when I moved in, I said, what happens if there's a global pandemic? And we'd talk it through. We'd run the options. You had your Tamiflu reserves. I 100% did.
Starting point is 00:58:34 SARS was not going to get you. Yep, I made sure that those bills were getting paid. Thanks to you correspondents this morning. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that there is one song that has bookended the end of the 90s and the start of the 2000s as the only number one song to be number one back-to-back in two different millennium,
Starting point is 00:59:12 which basically means it was just on its hot streak of being a number one as it went from 99 to 2000. Okay. Any guesses? I've got it here. Okay. I can play it. I want you guys to have some guesses.
Starting point is 00:59:24 It was number one at 99 and 2000. End of 99, start of 2000. Can I guess artist? Yes, you can guess artist. I can tell you that this, according to Billboard charts, is the second most successful song of all time. It won three Grammy Awards, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and the best pop collaboration with vocals.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Okay, what's the number one all time? Do you know that? That was what I read this article about this song, but it doesn't really talk about what was the number one song of all time, according to... Was it Justin Timberlake? What's this list you're getting it on? It's Billboard 100's best song of all time.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Okay. Did you answer Michael Chione? Oh, okay. The Twist. The Twist by Chubby Checker. Yeah, that's right. I read it in another article
Starting point is 01:00:12 last night. It just popped back. Come on, let's twist again. Yes. Like we did last summer. Great song. Oh, wow. And I've seen number two.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Interesting. Number two. You know why? Because it crossed so many genres. Genres. Your young people liked it and your've seen number two. Interesting. Number two. You know why? Because it crossed so many genres. Genres. Your young people liked it and your old people liked it. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:30 It had a Latino influence. It had a huge pop influence. Ricky Martin. A bit of a rock influence too. Rock influence, rock and pop. So it extended the genres and the age groups. No, no, no, no, no. Pharrell.
Starting point is 01:00:43 No. Too early for Pharrell. Not Justin Timberlake. This guy is in a band, and this was a solo project. Justin Timberlake. No. Click.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Yeah, you can salsa to this, couldn't you? You couldn't get away from this bloody song. This song was... You couldn't get away from it, no. If you were too young or... Rob Thomas from Batch Rocks 20. Smooth. Do you know the interesting thing about this?
Starting point is 01:01:20 It was actually on Santana's album. Okay. Carlos Santana. I thought you were about to say, now that's on Santana's album. Okay. Carlos Santana. I thought you were about to say, now that's what I call music. 14? Would have been on a That's What I Call Music. 100% would have been. Probably went back to back.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Yeah. With when it was on. On a Lisa. And have we ever done this on Friday Flashback? Nah. I hate this song so much. I hate it. Do you hate it more than you hate Sublime?
Starting point is 01:01:43 No, it's up there. It's the same thing. Hearing it now in context and hearing it, I'm kind of like, da-da-da-da. But if I was just driving and this came on, I'd change it. Yeah. I'd be like, no. But listening to it in context now, I'm like, oh, yeah,
Starting point is 01:02:00 that's interesting. That's interesting. It's probably why Before the song plays The radio stations that play it Would do something like this Yeah Okay
Starting point is 01:02:13 That was Who would have Who would have just played Oh probably something like Adele Adele Yes Adele there And she's looking great Isn't she
Starting point is 01:02:23 Because they'd probably say Something like that Referencing how she looks. They're a little bit out of touch with you. You don't really say that sort of thing. There's Adele. She used to be a bit chubby, but now she looks great. That's, again, not my thoughts,
Starting point is 01:02:35 but it's just original radio would say that too. God, I mean, we've all been there, but I'm talking in reverse. Started out skinny, and now I'm filling right out. But hey, that's called a slowing metabolism and we go to all have millions of dollars in the bank like Adele does. This song was the number two song of the
Starting point is 01:02:56 Billboard 100's history. Slipping in behind Chubby Checker. There's another chubby fellow, Chubby Checker. He didn't worry about his weight. It was a different time. And being chubby was actually the sign of wealth, wasn't it? And he was a wealthy man because of his song, The Twist. Probably going to do a few more twists if you know what I mean.
Starting point is 01:03:15 But this one, it is at number two. Of the most successful songs of all time, according to the Hot 100, Carlos Santana wears a hat inside and always wears sunglasses and Rob Thomas loved a shell necklace. It's smooth by Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Right up to the legs. You are really cut out for local radio. I can see you doing that after this. Oh, absolutely. He can't do a show on his own because he'd never stop talking. Look, I'll just... Loves the sound of his own voice. I'd better stop talking and play another classic from Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana.
Starting point is 01:03:57 So today's fact of the day is this song you can hear in the background, Smooth by Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana. A Mexican man, I believe, is from Mexico. Getting some real Anchorman and Alan Partridge vibes here. Maybe I'm wrong, but the moustache
Starting point is 01:04:15 led me to a sube. That is the song that saw us out of the 90s and into the 2000s. It's the number one that has been in both millennia. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. CDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. 56% of people in committed relationships have admitted this in a survey.
Starting point is 01:04:49 This is one of those surveys we would have been like, this is a trap. But 56% of people admitted this. So they've said that even though they're in a committed relationship, they still have someone on the back burner. But is the person on the back burner, are they in a committed relationship as well? And it's just like. Maybe. But then what if the person who's the back burner,
Starting point is 01:05:10 their relationship ends prior to the other person's ending and they're like, I'm ready to be on the front burner. And the person's like, well, no, you've got to still be back burner because I'm still got a front burner. Because you can't move the front burner to the back burner. Yeah, and then you've just got a couple of hot pots. Yeah. So this is someone who is in a relationship and the other person on the back burner. Yeah, and then you've just got a couple of hot pots. Yeah. So this is someone who is in a relationship
Starting point is 01:05:26 and the other person on the back burner, they're not technically cheating on the person they're in a relationship with. It's someone that they are talking to. They're friends with. And they've got in their mind that if this doesn't work, they'll go there. That's like an emotional attachment.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Yeah, yeah. It's like emotional. I was going, yeah. It's like emotional... I was going to say, that's emotionally cheating, right? Yeah, but it's technically not cheating, but... Yeah. Do you discuss it? Do you put it into words? Oh, you're my back burner? No, absolutely not. So the back burner may not know
Starting point is 01:05:58 that they're even a back burner. They might not want that. Yeah. Yeah. It's someone that you've got some sort of relationship with that you like them enough and you'll be like, okay, you could see yourself
Starting point is 01:06:08 being with them. Yeah, you could see yourself if you were single. Pursue this. Yeah, right. Maybe they do know.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Maybe they do know. What an administration nightmare. Yeah. How would you feel though, like, if you found out? Because, yeah,
Starting point is 01:06:24 again, they're not like cheating, but imagine finding out that your partner is like, oh, well, this goes sour. Maybe let's not discuss this during level four lockdown. Oh, yeah. Just wait. This is one of those. Because then they'll be like, do you have a back burner?
Starting point is 01:06:38 And they'll be like, no, I don't have a back burner. Okay, gun to your head, you have to have a back burner. Don't do it. That's a trap. Don't say anything. Fake a heart attack or have a heart attack. Don't do it. That's a trap. Don't say anything. Fake a heart attack or have a heart attack. Stick your finger in the electric socket on the wall. That is going to be a less painful outcome than accidentally saying one of their friends
Starting point is 01:06:54 and then you've got to deal with it forever. Even if you're married and I go home and you're like, when we first got together, was there like a back burner? Don't answer. Don't. Because even though it was ages ago, I would not let that shit go. No. Women are like elephants.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Excuse me, bitch. Heavy. Heavy elephants. You're in so much trouble. Help. Help. I said the wrong thing. Help.
Starting point is 01:07:28 The Paralympics. The Paralympics. Day something today. I'll tell you what's coming up soon for the New Zealand Paralympians in action. But first, it is congratulations for the three medals over the weekend. Tupu Neufel, who won a gold medal. Our first gold medal in the backstroke. That was in the pool.

Yeah, she's her coach. Yeah, she was in the shot put. And it's also a new Paralympic record. Yeah, she's her coach. Yeah, she was in the stands. Val wasn't on the news or anything,
Starting point is 01:08:10 and they said that they asked to interview her, but she wanted it to be all about her. About Lisa, yeah. Don't interview me, don't interview me. That's so cool. So cool. I would have been like, yes. I coached her.

Starting point is 01:09:03 they'll advance through. The men's 100 metre backstroke, but those are heats. Okay. So if they both win, they'll advance through. The men's 100-meter backstroke, which is what Jessie's going for, and the woman's 100-meter backstroke. Final.
