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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is.
It is, yes.
It's lasting longer
into the evening.
Yep.
September,
you get excited
because it's spring though
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.
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?
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?
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
Classic Tony Street.
Yeah.
She ran over somebody's bike.
She's like,
ah, cyclists, that sort of stuff.
Classic her.
Classic Streetie.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
lockdown rules
for Tinder hookups.
It's coming up.
Also,
the last week
your chance to get
a free ride
with the movie
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
453. Yeah.
I feel like I've been told enough times I should know
but a lot of matches
so maybe pre-empting
post-lockdown quitters.
Yeah.
This Wahine but she has said
the dudes on Tinder
are waiting for no man
or woman in this case.
Or no doubt of variance.
We can only assume
the homosexuals are also waiting
for no man or no woman.
They are out there.
She said that
they're saying,
oh, you know, come over.
In one case,
wasn't there somebody
in their flat
that had tested positive,
but he was gone now,
so don't worry about it. Yeah.
Oh my god.
Crazy, eh? Come on.
She said one guy had a
profile that he worked in healthcare.
Like,
come on.
One in six people
with COVID out of this cluster
is an essential worker, like a frontline
worker.
So, hi carumba.
The top six reasons not to breach lockdown
for Tinder hookups.
I mean, apart from the obvious.
Yeah.
Number six,
God's watching.
All of them.
All of the gods.
If he was,
that church wouldn't have got it.
No, he was watching.
That was one of the other gods
was taking water. Oh, he was not just That was one of the other gods was taking water.
Oh, he was not just watching at that time.
Buddha was watching at that stage.
So he let it out?
He was just like, ah, he's pretty chill.
Buddha's a bit more chill than your standard Old Testament god
or any of your Roman ones.
All right.
Number five on the list of the top six reasons not to breach
lockdown rules for Tinder hookups.
Long COVID.
Oh, yeah.
Long COVID is there's a percentage of people who have COVID-19 who have the long-reaching effects of it.
And I was reading an article about one of the main effects of long COVID completely blitzes your libido.
Really?
Yeah.
No sex drive whatsoever.
And you're just constantly tired.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Horrible.
Horrible.
Long-lasting symptoms.
So it's like when they put two marshmallows in front of kids
and they said, if you can not eat that, there's four more coming.
And then they leave the room and the kids gobble the two marshmallows.
They don't have the long-term thoughts.
Now, that's something to consider if you're thinking about breaching lockdown
for a little bit of quick hookup.
Yeah, sure.
You might never have that urge again.
Number four on the list
of the top six reasons
not to breach lockdown rules
for Tinder hookups.
That's how you get herpes.
Yeah, good point.
Yeah.
It's just that simple.
Number three on the list
of the top six reasons
not to breach lockdown rules
for Tinder hookups.
Babies are the result of sex.
Yes.
So I've just learned.
They can be.
If you can have sex, and a baby can come out.
Horrifying.
Madness.
Have you seen how expensive and loud those things are?
Yeah, that's for life.
Very expensive.
Number two on the list of the top six reasons not to breach lockdown rules for Tinder hookups.
Presume you have to drive there.
Petrol is very expensive.
I just saw somebody post how much petrol was the other day.
It's real expensive.
Yeah, like $2.50 a litre for premium.
Because even though my car is 400 pieces, it deserves the best.
I'd just start putting $91 in that piece of shit.
I might just start putting diesel.
You're putting premium in your shitty car.
You've got to run it on premium, baby.
Oh my God. It's just hanging in there. car. You've got to run it on premium, baby. Oh, my God.
It's just hanging in there.
Exactly.
Only because of the premium.
Every time I fill it up, it doubles in value.
And number one on the list of the top six reasons not to breach lockdown rules for Tinder hookups.
I can almost guarantee the Casanova on the other end of the Tinder app with all the promises of a night of steamy passion is a two-pump wonder.
Wow.
I promise. I can almost guarantee it.
I'm like 97%.
I'm as positive
of that fact as
the Pfizer vaccine
is good at protecting you from
after two full vaccinations.
We run about the same
assurity there. That is today's top six.
ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan,
wavy.
Muroki.
It's about the cats.
Yeah, it's about the wavy cats.
It's about the cats
and the takeaway shops.
I mean, I've seen them.
I've been influenced by them.
Yeah, they're great.
But it's great to see
they've made it into...
Mainstream music.
Yeah, absolutely.
We're an hour into this week
I'm looking forward
You know
His follow up singles
About the plastic curtains
That they have on the dairy
To stop the flies coming in
Great
Good
A lot of dairy based
They don't do those anymore now
I think they're quite
Observations
Yeah because they've changed
There's like that
There's like a
You can get a strip of
Like a fan thing
And it blows this wind And it confuses flies and they can't fly through it.
A wind curtain.
Yeah, a wind curtain.
Wow.
Yeah.
I'm looking forward to this whole album called The Dingy Bell.
When you walk in it goes ding dong, so somebody out the back knows there's somebody in the store.
It's all dairy and takeaway based songs.
Yeah.
Great.
Christmas is now at least some four months away.
Were you what we said last week when it was the 25th? Yeah. Great. Christmas is now less than four months away. Well, you know what
we said last week
when it was the 25th?
Yeah, four.
That's crazy.
And this is
all over Australian websites
and I imagine
the same here.
So, given that
it's four months away,
there is logistical issues
with shipping
and a lot of stuff
coming from overseas.
Do you know,
in some instances,
they're saying there is a 12 to 18-month wait.
For containers?
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.
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.
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?
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...
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Rob
Kim
Chloe
Courtney
Kendall
Kylie
So who have we lost?
Courtney
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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%.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
No.
Too early for Pharrell.
Not Justin Timberlake.
This guy is in a band,
and this was a solo project.
Justin Timberlake.
No.
Click.
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?
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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
being with them.
Yeah,
you could see yourself
if you were single.
Pursue this.
Yeah,
right.
Maybe they do know.
Maybe they do know.
What an administration nightmare.
Yeah.
How would you feel though,
like,
if you found out?
Because,
yeah,
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?
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
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.
Excuse me, bitch.
Heavy.
Heavy elephants.
You're in so much trouble.
Help.
Help.
I said the wrong thing.
Help.
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.
I saw that on the news.
Yeah, that was in the pool.
Lisa Adams following her sister's footsteps.
A gold in the shot put.
And it's also a new Paralympic record.
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,
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.
I do have more medals than my brother.
Yeah, I coached her. You do that too, eh? Yeah, I coached her. I do have more medals than my brother. Yeah, I coached her.
You do that too, eh?
Yeah, I coached her.
Phillip only has one and I have seven.
So many more.
And congratulations Danielle Aitchison.
Aitchison?
Yeah.
Aitchison.
Who won silver in the Women's 200.
Yeah, girl.
Track and field.
Track and field coming through with some medals.
So that's awesome.
So we've got two golds, two silvers.
Brilliant. That's our medal count so far.
Today, it is a busy day.
Busy, busy day. Day six.
Paris Swimming.
Jessie Reynolds is in the 100 metre backstroke
and Sophie Pascoe is
also in the 100 metre backstroke.
But those are heats. So if they both win,
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.
If those both happen, happening at quarter past eight and 20 past eight tonight, respectively.
Okay, so we could wake up to some more medals.
Ooh.
Yas.
At quarter past four this afternoon, shooting.
Michael Johnson is in the R4 Mixed 10-meter rifle.
Okay.
That's qualifying.
And then the medal for that will be a quarter to seven tonight.
It does, however, say NB, which I think stands for footnote.
It should be FN.
Broadcast is unavailable for this event.
Updates will be posted on the Facebook page.
And you can go to Paralympics New Zealand on Facebook and follow the page.
And para-athletics tonight, quarter past 10, the long jump.
This is for the medal.
William Steadman.
It'll be streamed with no commentary.
I don't know why no commentary, but no commentary.
Okay.
That will be streamed.
I'd offer myself up for some commentary.
Yes.
I know nothing about that sport.
For long jump.
Yeah.
I would just be,
hey, he's running.
Here's William.
Oh, that was good.
Oh, yay.
Striding.
Oh, no, misstep.
Foot over the line.
You can see there.
That is a no jump.
Is that what it is?
I just want to chuck that in as you're offside.
Yeah, I'd be terrible at this.
Because I'm the, you're like,
you're John McBeth.
Okay.
You're just commentating because people are familiar with your voice.
I'm the technical guy for the long jump.
Why?
Because you bring the emotion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
And it's Megan on the side.
She's on the sidelines.
She's down there.
I'm that after the jump interview.
She's on sand, Mike.
Yeah.
You just get that sound of the shoo when they hit the sound.
Sand.
Shoo.
Is that just beach sand or is that a special sand?
That's really good.
I don't know actually what kind of.
No, that was my snake.
That was like a snake running past.
Yeah.
All right, all right.
That's my sand pit. There's not a lot of snakes in the sand pit. What's that? All right, all right.
That's my sandpit.
There's not going to be snakes in the sandpit.
No, they rake it out.
They rake the snakes out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Imagine that you're raking and then you see a little wriggle and you're like, we've got a long jump sandpit snake.
Pull it out.
Get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag,
get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag.
And the bag.
Tie up the bag. They were all over it the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag, get the bag. Tie up the bag.
They were all over it.
They're running a good, tight ship.
Japan.
Yeah.
They sure are.
So, yeah, those are the things happening today.
Some swimming, some shooting, and some athletics as well that New Zealand Paralympians are all involved in.
So get out there.
TVNZ's Duke is creating a lot of that.
Yep. Otherwise, as you mentioned, their website as well. Yeah, their website and their Facebook page. so get out there and TVNZ's Duke uh spreading a lot of that yep
otherwise uh
