Good morning. Good morning. Happy level 2.5. Yeah, level two as usual for the rest of the country. And 2.5 for Auckland. Masks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:19 On public transport. That'll be the rule today. Yeah. Apparently the police can be doing spot checks, $300 fines. Yeah, I was like, I don't think they're going to be giving people fines though, right? No, I think they'll. And then last night on the news, they were like, I think they'll be very reluctant to give people fines. I was like, yeah, I don't, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:39 It'd be weird getting on a bus out of there. G'day, man. $300. And this is one of those, you know, making a stand, I don't have to wear a mask. Oh, yeah, if you're an arsehole, you're going to get a fine. And that's well-deserved because you're being an arsehole. They should just call that the A-hole tax.
Starting point is 00:03:55 No mask, that's just a warning. Oh, I see, you're after the A-hole tax. Not a problem. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, Elon Musk's Got a microchip In his brain He put one in a pig
Starting point is 00:04:08 And then he put one in him And I think him and the pig Are soulmates now I don't think he's Put it in himself yet He hasn't But I saw this Not now Elon
Starting point is 00:04:17 Not ever It's not the time I mean there's Certainly some promise For like people With spinal injuries And stuff like that Yes
Starting point is 00:04:23 But we don't need it To play music in our brains and do stuff like this and download memories. How would that even work? Some scary futuristic stuff. Yeah. No vocal instructions. It's all just thought control. And then when your microchip stuffs up,
Starting point is 00:04:40 do you have to go have surgery to get it fixed? No, you just plug the USB in your bum hole and you update overnight. Run a firmware. You do a software update when you plug it into the wall overnight. Oh, my God. Yeah, and you'll be right as rain. All right, well, the top six dealing with that soon. Yeah, the top six things you need to know about this microchip in the brain.
Starting point is 00:05:00 All right, also coming up on the show. The internet is fighting over baking. Because, you know, what else have we got to do? It's lighthearted fights, though, right? It's not like fist fights. Not like internet. No. It's not like, I'll stab you with a cream bun sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:05:21 That's not good for anyone. All right. Next on the show, though, Megan, something that you could participate in in the month of September, which, by the way, is tomorrow. Oh, my God. Yeah. It's the 31st of August today.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And then it must be four weeks till Daylight Savings. Yeah. That's good news. All right. September, though, is a month they want people to try something out in. We'll tell you next. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Tomorrow is September and something that's happening in the UK, secondhand September. That took you 0.25 seconds to roll your eyes. I'm fine with it. What is the premise of second? Is it celebrating your less dominant hand? Yes, it is. No, so the idea is, and coming out of the UK,
Starting point is 00:06:10 where annually they reckon, a study's been done, 16 million single-use outfits were purchased last year alone. See. And they reckon 6 million of those were for summer barbecues and then chucked out. A single-use and then chucked out. A single use? And then chucked out? Well, no, you think they've got stores over there like Primark, which is super cheap.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Top Shop, which is super cheap over there. H&M. H&M. I could never imagine buying something for one wear. I can't either. But Megan, can you? I mean, I always have the intention of wearing them more than once. I'm like, this will be great for all of the, like, cocktail parties I go to. So they reckon in England alone, $32.5 billion on clothes and shoes every year.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Okay, so I'm, like, down to do secondhand shopping, but every time I go there, they don't. You find something cute and it's not in your size. And then there's heaps of stuff that's just like you won't fit or you know like it's very hard whereas if you go to like a new shop it's just like they're all there
Starting point is 00:07:14 Do you know what I mean? No, okay Just keep looking until you find something It's so hard There's some cute shoes and you're like oh that's a size 10 or something. So that's the idea of secondhand September is that you will only buy secondhand
Starting point is 00:07:31 or just for the month, don't buy anything. Okay. Just to help out the planet and your wallet. I could do that. You could do that every month anyway on clothes. Where was the last time you bought some clothes? Jesus, I don't even know. You do that every month anyway Clothes wise On clothes Where was the last time You bought some clothes? Jesus I don't even know
Starting point is 00:07:49 I could not tell you Wow You normally do a big run Of AS Color t-shirts Do you know what Honestly I think it was the day Before the ZM Christmas party
Starting point is 00:07:59 Last year Because I bought Five t-shirts For like Whatever it cost For five t-shirts At AS Color Because I was like Oh I don't have a t-shirt So I bought five t-shirts for like Whatever it cost for five t-shirts at Ace Color Because I was like, oh I don't have a t-shirt That's almost like ten months ago
Starting point is 00:08:10 You were saving the planet Vaughn We should be commending you We should be commending me More commending, more commending When's the last time you purchased clothing? Did something arrive last week? Yes, but did I keep it? No, I did actually.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I got given a T-shirt for my birthday. Does that count? That doesn't count. No, that doesn't count. That doesn't count. Well, the month of September is secondhand September. Wow. If you can.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I'll try. Yeah. Or even online. Even online like Trade Me, you might get some secondhand clothing that then fits you. Because like you say, you go to a thrift shop, an op shop, some of it you might find something cool, but it's not in your size and that's very disappointing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:54 So give that a go. But then also I'm quite torn because we are heading back into level, you know, 2.5 in Auckland and people need to get out and support the local retailers, don't they? So you could probably, if you do want to buy something... Use that as an excuse. Use that as an excuse. Supporting the economy.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah. Next on the show, the internet's fighting over food. Baking, to be specific, because, you know, what else have we got to do? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Nick Baker is the man. He is a web analyst in Tauranga. Okay. And he has done this before, and it was so popular that he decided to do it again.
Starting point is 00:09:29 So during first lockdown of New Zealand, he did a bunch of Twitter polls to find out what our favourite things were. I believe he started with pies. Oh, yum. Pie flavours. We love food and we were bored and we know what we like. So, yeah. I mean, this has worked before and he decided to do another one on baking.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So, this is on, we are on Twitter. Yeah, on Twitter. See, this is a problem. I don't have Twitter anymore. I know, this is why. I haven't seen it. Because it was a cesspit of just negativity. So, I got rid of it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I thought it was going to be all about baking now. Yeah, maybe I'll join seen it. A bit of negativity. So I got rid of it. I thought it was going to be about baking now. Yeah, maybe I'll join Twitter again. Nick is quite cute because his tweet was, the first round of New Zealand Bake Off, get voting. Make sure you use the hashtag so it can trend during the week. Okay. But he has listed, it's quite a comprehensive list, and if it doesn't have a flavour,
Starting point is 00:10:25 you just assumed your favourite flavour. Okay. That's a good ground rule to have. He's watsi-petting all these different bakery goodies. Do you want me to read a few? So there's the cream donut, lemon tart, Chelsea bun, Louise slice, cronut, cheese scone,
Starting point is 00:10:40 Neenish tart, banana cake, caramel slice, jam donut. So they're all, you know, like whittling down to the winner. We haven't got to a winner yet. Yeah, that's the one. There's lolly cake in there, lamingtons, afghans, carrot cakes in there, Belgian biscuit, ginger crunch. Oh my, that's really hard.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Who's out? Wait, has it started? Who's out? So I don't know all of the rounds, but I can tell you. What is this hashtag? Hashtag NZBakeOff. So, in round one, the jam donut was up against caramel slice. Jam donut would have won.
Starting point is 00:11:16 It shouldn't have, though. Caramel slice won. Did it? Oh, okay, good. Then caramel slice was up against the ginger slice. Ginger slice. Yeah, ginger slice. Oh, okay, good. Then Caramel Slice was up against the Ginger Slice. Ginger Slice. Yeah, Ginger Slice. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:11:27 No, I think the Caramel Slice, yeah, the Caramel Slice won in that, but I would have voted Ginger Slice. You can see how we're already getting jazzed about this. And so the Caramel Slice is going to come up against the Carrot Cake in the quarterfinals. Yum. Who's coming up against Carrot Cake? Ginger, Caramel Slice.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Caramel Slice. Oh, we've reached my final. I love. Carrot Cake, surely. Is this the up against carrot cake? Ginger caramel slice. Caramel slice. Oh, we've reached my final. I love. Carrot cake, surely. Is the Lamington winning? I don't know where the Lamington is at the moment. The Lamington was in there, but I don't know if it. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:11:56 No, the Lamington lost to the Afghan biscuit. Knocked out. I found it. Megan, 11 hours ago, you need to update you. We're at the final. The custard square versus the cream donut for the ultimate winner. Oh, yeah. The caramel slice beat the carrot cake.
Starting point is 00:12:10 The custard square's got to win that. But the cream donut beat the caramel slice. Wait, so the jam donut and the cream donut, were they different? Because the jam donut got knocked out. They are. The cream donut and the jam donut. What's the difference? Maybe one of them's long and the other's round.
Starting point is 00:12:26 The cream donut's long. The custard slice has got to win that. Is that the final? Custard square versus cream donut. I mean, those are two Kiwi classics. Basic, though. Custard square? You can't beat a good custard square.
Starting point is 00:12:39 That's so Kiwi. I'm not mad about the final. At time, it's not over yet Yeah It closes 9pm Monday night But last night Voting was
Starting point is 00:12:52 The cream donut was losing To the custard square Yes So the custard square's got it The custard square may indeed win Unless there's a last minute push For the cream donut today With tradies returning
Starting point is 00:13:02 Yeah this is what they should do In the election Or the census, is find out all of our favourite things. Right. Wouldn't that be fun if you go vote for your favourite political party? Yeah, like serious question.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Yep. Do you want to euthanise Gran? Oh, you're talking general election. I thought you meant when they do the census when it's at your house. I was just thinking we're doing it in a month, aren't we? The election.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Yeah. So you tick that, do you want to legalise weed? And then like, what's your favourite biscuit? Yeah, scatter the fun ones in a month. What's your favourite bakery treat?
Starting point is 00:13:32 And then you can correlate information, like people who wanted to legalise marijuana, their favourite biscuit was the squiggle top. And you'd know. You'd know. Fascinating stuff. Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan,
Starting point is 00:13:44 the podcast. ZM. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Elon Musk over the weekend revealed his latest piece of technology. The Neuralink is a startup. It's already in a pig. And he said the purpose of it will be to give some freedom back to people who have been paralyzed. So they'll be able to operate technology.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. Maybe robotic limbs. All via thought. Wow. See, I'm all for that, but I'm not for all the other stuff like just thinking of some songs and they play in your brain. It's all or nothing, baby. Like we could communicate without speaking to each other if we had them. So it's in a pig.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And at the moment there's beeps and stuff. But he said the beeps are just to show you when it's working and when bits and pieces have been seen. It obviously won't beep the whole time it's in your brain. But then if it's in your brain and it did beep, it could also tell your brain not to hear the beep. So how is it being used in a pig? What's the pig doing with it?
Starting point is 00:14:53 He's just ordering more treats. So because they put a chip, because Ira's reading the chip goes in, so they have to like put it in and then there are these, like, wires, but they're as thin as a, thinner than a strand of hair. So they kind of go into the brain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Isn't that just crazy? That's some Black Mirror shit. And then there's a removable pod, which sits behind the ear and can connect wirelessly to other devices. Mm. Nuts, eh? If your Wi-Fi's not working. I thought he was going to take a quiet last half of the year
Starting point is 00:15:29 because remember back when COVID-19 started coming out, he was like, oh, this is just nonsense. There'll be no new infections by like the end of April. Yeah. And then in May, when they were like, stay at home, he's like, I'm not staying at home. And he's had a baby. Yeah. And then in May, when they were like, stay at home, he's like, I'm not staying at home. And he's had a baby. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And you just chill out for a bit. Yeah. But no. But since then, 5.9 million infections of COVID-19 and 182,000 deaths in America. But anyway, the top six issues
Starting point is 00:15:59 I can see with the brain chip. Number six, you could sneeze it out if you had a really big sneeze. Sometimes when you sneeze real hard, it feels like your brain's going to come out your nose. So if the chip's loose, it could come out. Number five, like what you were saying before,
Starting point is 00:16:15 you could communicate without meaning to. Yep. If your partner installs the NARC 3000 app on your chip and then they can ask you a question and if you're lying, it goes, and lets them know. Because he reckons you'd be able to unlock your Tesla or play video games with people.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Eventually, yeah. You just walk up to your car and it just knows it's you. Yeah, but then if someone wants to, they'd have to chop your head off one day to get into your car. Kids are already better than me at video games and now they're going to have all this hands free technology years in the making
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah Number four on the list of the top six issues I can see with the brain chip apparently it's not like the matrix where you can just plug it in and learn kung fu
Starting point is 00:16:58 Oh no Give me that Give me some of that Because imagine if you could like download skills to your chip like languages and stuff Yeah you just go imagine if you could like download skills to your chip, like languages and stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah, you just go overseas and you're like, okay, download Mandarin. Done. But then technically there could be a real-time translator in there. Yeah. You can open up your phone and use that Google Translate app to do real-time translation. And someone's talking to you, but you'll hear it's like a bad, one of those Netflix dub-over movies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:22 It's like. You just block them out and hear their translation. We laugh, but that's actually what they can do. Oh, it's crazy. God, it's where it's heading.
Starting point is 00:17:30 It's where it's heading. Number three on the list of the top six issues I can see with the brain chip. Like a stent. You know when someone gets a stent in their heart? They go in through the groin.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Oh, okay. You know that thing that kind of holds open the, well, much like that, the brain chip actually enters a long way from its final resting spot. It's up the bum. That's where it's got to go in. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:51 It's got to go in up the bolts. Number two on the list of the top six issues I can see with the brain chip, you can start scanning your own groceries with your eyes, but you can't stop. Every barcode you see gets added to your bill. Shit. Even if you don't take a whiff, it's just a bit of a malfunction at this stage.
Starting point is 00:18:07 And number one on the list of the top six issues I can see with the brain chip, accidentally thinking of porn when you shouldn't be thinking of porn, which is 99% of the places and times at any given time. Yeah. And then it just starts playing. In your mind, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And you're like, stop it. Oh my God, close it down, close it down, close it down. But no one else can hear it. You're the only one that can see it. Yeah. And stop it. Oh, my God. Close it down. Close it down. Close it down. Close it down. But you're the only one that can hear it. You're the only one that can see it. Yeah. And hear it. Yeah. But, you know, you're not in an appropriate place at all.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Yeah. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Nine out of ten students have the fear called gnomophobia. And unlike other phobias, this one's... Skidding garden gnomes. Close. No, not close. the fear called nomophobia and unlike other phobias this one's garden nose close no not close but unlike other phobias this is pretty easy to decipher in the name okay no more phobia no more no mobile yes I was gonna say mustache
Starting point is 00:18:59 no scared of people with no no massage yeah they were scared of people with no moustache. Yeah. Or they were scared of moustaches. No, that would be no mobile phobia. Yeah. Yeah. This is no mobile phone phobia. So it sounds silly, but it can severely affect your life and your health. So increased heart rate, blood pressure, you have separation anxiety, shortness of breath, nausea, trembling, dizziness, depression, like quite full on physical
Starting point is 00:19:26 don't laugh quite full on physical like manifestations get a drip that's what my dad would say yeah
Starting point is 00:19:35 so you've left your phone in your car sometimes and you're like I've got to go down and get it oh just go down and get it
Starting point is 00:19:40 yeah but why don't you just leave it there till after the show I don't know. I always leave my phone places and just forget about it. And then I'm like, I haven't seen my phone for hours. Where is it? And I don't really
Starting point is 00:19:53 care too much. But yeah, apparently nine out of ten students have nomophobia and it's causing problems with sleep as well. So they need their phone with them all the time and then therefore when they go to bed, they're on their phone all the time.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And then they're just going to sleep. They're like, oh, I wonder if I've got any messages. Yeah. Terrible sleep patterns, irregular sleep and 89% of these students experience some sort of nomophobia right up until severe up to severe. So with some of those symptoms that I said before. So what's the solution?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Weaning them off? I don't, I don't know. Does it go into a solution? Nicotine patches. Carve a phone out of soap. You know, I've seen that on a prison show. Because it's not something that you can necessarily, like in this day and age, live completely without, you know? You're a pain in the ass if you do.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You're very hard to get in touch with. Yeah. It's not like you can be like, I'm going cold turkey. I'm not going to have a phone. Yeah. You can set yourself boundaries and rules, can't you? Yeah. So you're always going to have to have a little bit.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Just have no phone time. Some no phone times. Yeah. Maybe build up to having more and more. Or do that thing where you've been on your phone for hours, but then you decide to put it down and accuse your partner of never getting off their phone. That always happens to you, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:21:16 That's great. You bring that up a lot. That's fun. It's a fun game. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. The Morning Moon. God, we had cow moos in the group chat all weekend as well, didn't we?
Starting point is 00:21:32 Oh, yeah. Well, you had one. You had one. And I said, it's time for the triumphant return of the morning moo. This is Humphrey. This is when I was setting up a... You know what I'm talking about, mate. At this time of year, you've got to break fence before you get your sprig gross.
Starting point is 00:21:45 So you'd be through all your grass. We don't know what that means, Vaughn. So you set up little sections of your paddock. I also don't care what it means. Don't say you don't know and then I try to explain it to you. But he could see that he was going to get led over into some fresh, lush grass. And he wanted over. That sounds like a cow, like a sound effect.
Starting point is 00:22:07 If I searched online, cow sound effects. I love how they start low and he really gets into it. So we tried this before the morning, though. Dismal failure. Yeah. But that was because there wasn't enough people in the shed. Right. Well, Louise joins us this morning.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Good morning, Louise. Good morning. Welcome to the morning, Moo. What kind of milking shed you're running? A tandem or a... No, we have a 28er side herringbone. Oh, yeah. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Herringbone, herringbone. Good size herringbone there. Now, Louise, the morning, Moo, you need to get one of your cows to moo. Yeah, I'm just in with the cows at the moment, and they want to be fed, so hopefully, here we go. That's the calves. They didn't want to go, they're little moo-moos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:56 So what happens now? Well, it's a success because she didn't even need to really try. No, I didn't really need to try. They're hungry. Do you talk to them? Are you like, hello, little moois? Yeah, I'm standing right in the middle of 50 of them, and they're pretty hungry.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Do you call them sookies? No, normally I call them calfies. Calfies. Come on, sookies, sookies, sookies. I don't know why. Brilliant. All right, well, that worked. That was one in the bag't know why. Brilliant. Well, that worked. One in the bag. One in the bag.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Andrew, good morning. Morning. How are you? How are you this morning? Good. Good. Well, welcome to the morning, Moo, where you try to get your cows to moo for us. I can give it a whirl.
Starting point is 00:23:38 One of the problems we've got is our cows are pretty quiet. We like to keep them that way. Oh, yeah. We're bigger than we are. Yeah, just to keep them on side. Okay. bigger than we are. Just to keep them on side. Okay, yeah, give us a mo if you can. A little tickle under the belly.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Come on, cows. We're live on air. Come on. This is an ad for a good show, guys. Not going to let it all in. You did ask very nicely. That's not what we do a good show, guys. Not going to allow it all. You did ask very nicely. You did. That's not what we do. Come on, cows.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Come on, cows. I know I've asked you not to, but I'm giving you a special permission. Get involved soon, all right? Don't run into the show. Do what you're told. Yeah, good man. No, man. Stop.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I think we have to put this down as a fail. No, no. Hey, hey. It's not a failure here in the morning, man. It's not. Andrew, thank you. We've got another. It's not a failure when a man's taking down as a fail. No, no, hey, hey, it's not a failure here in the morning, man. It's not. Andrew, thank you. It's not a failure when a man's taking care of his cows. No, exactly.
Starting point is 00:24:28 We've got another Andrew in the NACU, I believe. Andrew, good morning. Morning, how are you? Good, welcome to the morning, Moo, where you try to get your cows to moo for us live on air. Try to. Okay, well, give it a go. No, I can't.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I've been mooing all morning and I can't. You've got stage fright. No, I can't. That'd be Mo. Good morning. No, I can't. They're stage fright. Oh, no. Andrew, thanks. Shelly's called up for the morning Mo. Good morning, Shelly.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Hi. Well, we started strong, Shelly, but the cows have been quite shy since. Oh, no, I'm probably going to be able to help you. I've got calves, so they're hungry. Oh, okay. This is the trick, eh? Hungry. Just shake the bottle at them or something.
Starting point is 00:25:07 A what? Do you imagine a calf single feeding a cow? Yeah, with a bottle. Jeez, mate, you don't have time for that. Yeah, no, you don't do that. Okay, all right. Shelly, give us a morning moo. I'm never going to go silent.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I don't want to go to the entrance. Come on, calves. What? Come on, calves. Come on, Cubs. Come on, Cubs. Come on, little mooies. Come on. Come on.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Come on. You're lucky you had those first moos because this would have been an absolute bloody disaster like I see. It really did well. They've all gone silent as they walk all fallen on their shabby. Hey! That sounded like
Starting point is 00:25:47 a little sheep. Little Moo. We'll give you that one. Thanks, Shelley. We're going to end with Andrew. Another Andrew. Another Andrew.
Starting point is 00:25:54 So we have two Andrews. It's the same Andrew. He's gone to the carves. Which one? Waikato Andrew or Taranaki Andrew? Taranaki one. Oh, okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:06 All right. Okay. Give us a morning move, Andrew. Okay. Here you go. Here it goes. Oh, they've done it again. Andrew, you've been let down twice. How dare they? Oh, there you go. Oh, missed it. We missed it. Did you hear that one? No.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Andrew, do you even have cows? Are you even a farmer? Andrew is just losing his mind in like a field. He's like, come on. I love this. The morning moo. That was a good morning moo. I love that.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I like hearing them talk to their cows. Come on. Come on now. Come on. Come on, cows. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Chrissy Teigen is pregnant and she's got some food cravings. She is craving sour stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Better than cold water surf. Remember once we talked to that lady that ate cold water surf when she was pregnant. She dipped her finger in it. When she was doing the laundry, she'd be like, little bit of that. Little bit of that for me. Little bit for the washing machine. No, she's eating sour things. So she shared that she's eating sour straws.
Starting point is 00:27:19 She'll suck on them and then after, I have my blow pops. Is that like a sherbet, like a sour sherbet that you suck up a straw? Yeah, it must be. Or it's that you buy those long straws at the dairy and they're full of sherbet. And you pour them on your tongue. Yeah. It's sour. But then she pokes her tongue out and it's like torn apart.
Starting point is 00:27:37 It's like not in good shape. So she said she's having a hard time eating anything else because it's so painful. She can't eat noodles, anything spicy because it hurts her tongue too much. Because you basically cut her tongue with sour lollies. So she's like, I need to put some like glad wrap on her tongue or get like a tongue condom of some sort. Because then you wouldn't get the taste. So it would be like pointless. Yeah, be pointless. If your tongue was wrapped up up would you not taste anything?
Starting point is 00:28:06 No. There's no taste buds anywhere else in your mouth. I don't know. It would sneak under. If it was fully sealed. It always gets under
Starting point is 00:28:14 a little bit, doesn't it? The taste. Yeah. I don't know. You're telling the story. Go on now. It sounds like you've got some sort of
Starting point is 00:28:21 history with the thing. But like the cravings are so intense that you just can't stop even though it's like shredding up her tongue. Do you remember Short Circuits? Those lollies that were like massive in the 90s, Short Circuits. And they had like Short Circuits and they came out and kids were eating them and they're like, and then a month later kids are like, that ain't nothing. So Short Circuits are like, we'll show you.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And they brought out something called like a, I can't remember what the next step up was. Super short circuits or something. And everyone was just like, oh yeah. And a kid at intermediate put like three or four in his mouth and he had to go home
Starting point is 00:28:57 because his tongue started bleeding quite badly. Oh my God. Yeah. You've been just slamming them all day. Yeah. And that was when I knew drugs weren't for me. That kid got hurt with those lollies. That kid got really badly hurt.
Starting point is 00:29:12 We can't muck around with any dangerous substances. Well, she has eaten too many sour things and torn up her tongue. So I would love to know if you've had a food injury. I've had a nacho chip triangle go into the roof. Oh, yeah. We've all had that. Does that count? Does that count? Yeah. Sure. And you just had that absolute
Starting point is 00:29:29 structural strength of the triangle, don't you? And you see why the Egyptians were like pyramids are for us because it's a strong shape. It's an enduring strong shape. It is. And nothing beats the molten lava of melted cheese on top of a pizza and you reckon it's cold enough and then you lose the skin on on top of a pizza and you reckon it's cold enough.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Or a cherry tomato. You lose the skin on the top of your mouth. A tomato on a toasted sandwich. I reckon cherry tomatoes would have ended up with people in hospital from third degree burns. Yeah. Because you bite it and it explodes. It's a hot pocket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:59 All right. Mountie, didn't you just have a dumpling related? Didn't you have a hot dumpling to the chin? That's right. I remember we talked about the dump, you've got to bite the dumpling open. Soup dumpling. Yeah, and then it spilled out onto my chin
Starting point is 00:30:12 and I've only just recovered. This would have been months ago. Wow. Wow. So you've practically got what, second degree burns? I think so. Shouldn't I? I mean, we're just laughing about second degree burns.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I'll 800 dials it in. I want to make it clear, you laughed about second degree burns. Yeah, I wasn't laughing. I laughed about a soup dumpling second degree burn that Mountie received on the chin. Yeah. Specific to her. Specific to Mountie. I'm not laughing at other people that have suffered second degree burns.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Chrissy Teigen's had pregnancy cravings for sour things and she's eaten so many sour straws and sour lollies that she's torn her tongue up. And she's finding it hard to eat regular food. I'm forgetting. I don't know if it was manchos, the spicy tomato. You know you always lick the flavouring off or like you lick them off. Isn't it just the popping of the... It was just because it was deep fried and then, yeah,
Starting point is 00:31:00 you put them on your tongue and they'd suck to your tongue. Yeah, at the end of those, you're like, ow, my tongue. Yeah, you had a whole bag of those. Lick the flavour off you know about it, don't you? Yeah. So we want to know now if you've ever had a food injury and what happened. Carmen, you had a food injury? Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:31:19 So how did this happen? So when I was maybe five or six, my mum baked some beautiful chocolate chip cookies. Beautiful. And I really wanted to see them and eat them. And I didn't realise the tray had just come out of the oven. So being too short to look over the bench, I actually went over and I put my fingers on the bench
Starting point is 00:31:44 and pulled myself up to have a look and put my chin straight down on the hot oven tray. Ouch. Yeah, it stung for a while. Yeah, I bet. Do you have a scar or anything? No, I don't have a scar, but they were really amazing chocolate chip cookies. Like, she gave me heat for that. Like, not only is it burnt into your chin, but the memory's also burnt in.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And that's a good way to get more cookies, because you're like, oh, mum. Yes, cookies make you better. Carmen, thanks. You call Mike. This is your brother that had the food injury. What happened? Yeah, well, we were out for a night out. And, you know, when you buy a burger and the first bite is always, like, we were out for a night out, and you know when you buy a burger, and the first bite is always like the big bite?
Starting point is 00:32:28 Well, anyway, he opened his mouth so wide, he dislocated his jaw trying to get a big bite of the burger. Jeez! Oh, wow! How drunk was he? He was just like, ah! Well, he was our sober driver. Oh! He just tried to anaconda it. He just loves his food.
Starting point is 00:32:48 So was he, like, stuck with his mouth open? Yeah, he popped in pretty much straight away, but he couldn't chew anything hard for a while. He just had to look at the burger. Oh, my God, that's brutal. Mike, thanks for your call. Liam, what was your food injury? I'll tell you what, team.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Red skin's a bloody evil thing. Those lollies. Yeah, I lost two of my teeth at the same time from the old red skin. Because I remember a minty got rid of a filling once. Oh yeah. Those chewy lollies. I had to get a root canal
Starting point is 00:33:25 because, yeah, like my tooth basically chipped on it. I was eating one and then I took it out and I was like, oh, that's a bit crunchy. It was actually my tooth.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I thought maybe the dairy owner had put something in there or done something to it. He was like, oh, shit, there's been corruption at the Allen's factory.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Oh, my God. Brilliant, Liam. Thanks. You called some text messages. Some people were having some nasty injuries. Somebody, lots of reports of the hot pie. Oh, yeah. People rushing in for a mouthful of delicious pie
Starting point is 00:33:54 and ending up with nothing but a large burn. What would you recommend there? Just a little peek through the top of the pie? I think. And make an air vent? Are you making reference to? The pie. New Zealand's probably most famous pie-related saying. Blow on the pie? I think. And make an air vent? Are you making reference to the pie? New Zealand's probably most famous pie-related saying.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Blow on the pie. Always blow on the pie. No, I was saying open a vent. I thought you were alluding to that. Yeah, I thought you were like, what would you recommend, Vaughan, if the pie was hot? What would you say? Always blow on the pie. The pie was hot?
Starting point is 00:34:21 Always blow on the pie. That's pretty much like saying, Connor, you go into the dairy and you leave your scooter outside and you come back not too long after. You know what I'm saying? What would be another way of saying not too long after? Moments later. Exactly. I burned myself on a jelly bean and haven't liked them since.
Starting point is 00:34:44 You can't burn yourself on a jelly bean and let what? They melted them. Someone microwaved a jelly bean. And haven't liked them since. You can't burn yourself on a jelly bean. And let what? They melted them. Someone microwaved the jelly bean. Because if you... It would just get... It would melt if it got melt, wouldn't it? Yeah, that's a weird one.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I've left like jelly beans in the sun and then eaten them and they've been super soft. What, maybe there was a sour jelly bean? A special kind of... You know like how you can have the flavoured jelly beans? Perhaps. I don't know. Was there like a hot sauce flavoured, one of those any flavoured jelly beans? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Yeah, maybe. Oh, somebody said, you think the old Dorito triangle slamming into the top of the mouth bad. What about the Toblerone triangle? Because it took me ages to realise if you just pinch the Toblerone together, that's how they're meant to break off. That's how you break it off. Yeah. But, like, are you chucking the whole triangle in your mouth?
Starting point is 00:35:33 Even then, you're going in sideways. Like, judge. Of course you're allowed to put the whole thing in your mouth. It's your Toblerone. No, I'm just saying, what do you expect then? It's going to get jammed in there. There's a competition in my family how many blocks you can get down on your Toblerone. And you can get 10, which is very impressive.
Starting point is 00:35:51 It's very hard to chew it. You've just got to like shut your mouth and just let it melt. So you're there for a little while. Somebody said, does this count? I dreamed I was eating, but all I was doing was chewing really hard on my tongue and I woke up with like a bleeding tongue. Does this count as a food injury? That's a dream injury.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Oh my God. Maybe. But they thought they were eating. Okay, don't go to bed hungry, I think is what we can learn from that. Yeah. Yeah. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan,
Starting point is 00:36:22 the podcast, ZM. So I was saying it's 46 days away from the general election. That's been delayed because it was supposed to be happening this month, right? Yeah. Now it's going to be happening in October. And there's two referendum as well. The end of life choice bill where, yeah, if you're in favour of dying with dignity, I mean, I'm biased.
Starting point is 00:36:43 You may be able to tell that I'll be voting to legalise both. Yeah. And the referendum. And the other one is the legalisation of cannabis. However, the legalisation of cannabis, the support for that has slipped a little bit since March. A poll was done in March. It found that 43% were in favour of legalising cannabis
Starting point is 00:37:06 and 33% opposed it. And 7 plus 7, 14% were like, whatever, whatever. Oh no, more than that. Two sevens and a 10. Maths. Good maths. Great work. That's a lot of people undecided.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah. Wouldn't you know either way? Yeah. Well,. Wouldn't you know either way? Yeah. Well, maybe that's the situation because now it's up to 46% of people are against legalising it. And the support for it has gone down to 39%. Oh, it's close, isn't it? Mm. I wonder if that's a rogue poll because every poll I've seen is like
Starting point is 00:37:45 way in favour. Showing it in favour? Both of them, right? Yeah. Both the end of life and the legalisation of cannabis. What I've seen is yeah, both in favour. But this is still a little bit. And it's the same actually with the poll for the support for the end of life
Starting point is 00:38:02 choice bill. It's slipped but only a little bit. It's just everyone just being little bit. It's just everyone just being a bit negative, are they? Why? What would we be negative about? It's been a shitty month. Month? Yeah. Months.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Plural of months. Well, yeah. The support has slid somewhat. But I have seen some weird like, it made it look like it was to inform you about the end of life choice. Oh, yeah, I've seen those billboards.
Starting point is 00:38:31 It was bias against it. It kind of made you, because I did the survey and it just kind of made me feel bad about it. And I was like, oh, and then I got to the end and I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:38:40 this wasn't completely neutral. This wasn't, and I know that there was a problem with that as well. That was made to make itself more obviously against than in favour. Yeah. And I'm seeing some great arguments for the legalisation of cannabis just regarding like criminalisation rates and all that.
Starting point is 00:39:00 So read up. I mean, I'm not saying you have to vote yes for both. Yeah. As long as you vote. Yeah. That's the idea, isn't it? Have you saved 46 days to the general election? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Anonymous, anonymous. Tell us your gosses, stay anonymous. All that goss is raunchy. And all that goss is raunchy And all that goss is spicy And we still don't know who the f*** you are The people demanded it's return after the short-lived Megan's Letterboxd. Yeah, the Postman Pat theme song. Yep.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Beautiful singing too, Vaughn. It's good with a bit of auto-tune. No auto-tune yet. Is it? Anonymous joins us. Good morning. Good morning. Now, this is the segment where you have anonymous goss and you tell us.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yes. And we won't tell anybody. We don't even know your name. Right, right, yeah. All right. What's the goss? Tell us the goss. So, my manager is actually pregnant with the boss.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Nobody knows. And she's just saying it's lockdown, mate. Oh, that's not going to last forever. No, but we have had another lockdown, so you could just pile that on. Doubled up lockdown. Yeah, yeah. Is the boss married?
Starting point is 00:40:23 No, not anymore. Oh, wait. When did the boss married? No, not anymore. Oh, wait. When did the marriage end? Before or after he put his penis in some other woman? Before. Before. That's the order you want. Yeah, that's the order you want.
Starting point is 00:40:37 But was she the reason that the marriage ended or? I'm not actually sure. No, because it sounds like this is on the absolute deep. Wow. And so nobody knows. No. And what about the manager's situation?
Starting point is 00:40:51 What's the manager's situation? Single? Single, yes. Ready to mingle. Okay. Well, how do you reckon they're going to deal with that when it's obvious she's pregnant
Starting point is 00:41:01 and it's not lockdown weight? I have no idea. I don't know what I would do. Yeah. It's spicy. She's left to say it's him, right? How do you know? I know.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Wow. You do that? Wow. I don't know if I should say because it might give it away. Oh, right, that would give away. But did you, like, they didn't tell you? You found out somehow? I found out, yes.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Oof, that goss is spicy. It's definitely been confirmed. Oh. Pregnancy. Pregnancy test in the bin at work. No, no one's that dumb. Well. Oh's that dumb. Well. Oh, that is.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Wow, I love getting the anonymous gosh. Have you thought about going to your boss and... No, blackmail, you can bitch about blackmail. I could get a pay rise for this. Yeah, you've got to tread real carefully on this whole blackmailing thing because what I've done isn't illegal, but what you're about to do is. But also, like, he's single single so it's fine whereas if there was a someone else involved then you probably do have some leverage here for blackmail yeah yeah but why
Starting point is 00:42:10 lie so it makes me think something's up yeah something's up yeah you've got a penchant for goss just like we do you've got the goss voice you're like my question is why lie wow wow that's that's a great that's a first loss out the gates it's pretty good fantastic thank you anonymous do we go out with the intro uh yeah but we just want to say if you've got some anonymous goss that you want to um get off your chest yeah share with some other gossip hounds uh you can slide into our instagram dms fbms at all anonymous into our Instagram DMs. FBM ZM. All anonymous. Anonymous, anonymous. Tell us your gosses,
Starting point is 00:42:49 they anonymous. All that goss is raunchy and all that goss is spicy and we still don't know who the f*** you are. Father's Day is this Sunday, you have been told. And there is a study that's looked into satisfaction of gifts that dads get. This is in America. So they were asked what their least favourite presents were.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Number one is actually quite surprising for me. So clothing is the highest percentage dislike. 32.6% of dads don't want clothing. Right. Because dads, they know what they want to wear and when someone buys them clothing, they're trying to make them try something new. Yeah, and also my dad doesn't get super jazzed about clothes, period. Doesn't know you.
Starting point is 00:43:48 He's kind of like you. He just, you know, would wear whatever, and you're probably not going to get something he's comfortable with. Yeah. Yeah. So that's top of the list. Apart from togs. I don't want togs that cover my nips.
Starting point is 00:43:59 They'd be weird. Full body lycra. Yeah. Second on the list at 31.1% dislike, is books and CDs. People are still buying CDs. You've read this list the wrong way. I've got no interest in following this list now
Starting point is 00:44:14 because you didn't save clothes until last. Well, the percentage dislike gets less and less. Okay. So you're working towards the sort of thing your dad would like then. Oh, okay. Now I'm interested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Working away from... That's how this list works. Okay. So you're working towards the sort of thing your dad would like then? Oh, okay, now I'm interested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Working away from... That's how this list works. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:29 So I didn't want to start at the bottom because the one at the bottom is actually like the best. Oh, is the best. And what he actually wants. So there was a reason. Okay. So yeah, books and CDs. Greeting cards was next. Who's giving dad just a greeting card? Unless you're shoving a lotto ticket in there or something. Unless you're shoving A lotto ticket in there Or something
Starting point is 00:44:45 Unless you're like Writing a nice message Or a poem Or something Then Yeah but you can just Write him a note And then perform it to him
Starting point is 00:44:52 Perform it to him Yeah perform a poem Rather get a greeting card Than a A lounge performance Of a poetry reading By you Dad watch me
Starting point is 00:45:00 Watch me ready Watch me watch me Okay here we go Everyone shush Here we go I'm about to do it It's my turn Justin It's my turn, Justin. Are you filming me?
Starting point is 00:45:06 It's my turn. I'm doing it now. Are you filming this? He's like, Christ, you're nearly 40. Grow up. Ouch. Don't say nearly 40. You are nearly 40.
Starting point is 00:45:16 I'm years away. A couple. Not a couple. Personal care. Too old to be performing in the lounge for dad, though. I still would. Personal care. Too old to be performing in the lounge for dad, though. I still would. Personal care. That's like aftershaves.
Starting point is 00:45:29 A Lynx body set. Lynx Africa. Aftershaves. Shavers, trimmers. Poo-pooing over all your traditional Father's Day gifts. Yeah. Everything. I'm also fine.
Starting point is 00:45:40 As a father, I'd be fine with some smellies. Yeah. Also 20% on the disapproval rating is automotive accessories. Really? What, like a car wash kit or something? It's 20%. So there's still like 80% of dads that would be keen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:56 But yeah, just consider that. Totally would be. It'd be one of those turtle wax. Yeah, it would be. A bucket, a sponge. Yep. Maybe a hose head brush. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, be a sponge, a bucket, a sponge. Yeah, maybe a hose head brush. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the automotive supplies that he wants is something he would pick out and is probably more expensive than your Father's Day budget. Yeah. But we're getting down to the one that 90% of dads say is their favourite present. 90% want a special outing that creates a good memory. Like Rainbow's End?
Starting point is 00:46:30 No, because it needs to be an outing for them. Oh, not you. Unless your dad's a huge fan of the log flume, in which case that would be right up his alley. I get that though, that's pretty cool. Yeah, a third of dads consider a good gift is when it creates a special memory.
Starting point is 00:46:46 That's the biggest result. The second is if it's convenient for them. And when is that going to be? Because they've got so much to do. So many jobs to be done. Exactly. It's so hard to buy for. Dads would just be stoked with anything.
Starting point is 00:47:02 They probably felt really bad taking that quiz. We did our own poll to just check how New Zealand dads fare. Asked what your worst Father's Day present was. Undies and socks. Nah, poo-poo to that. I love a fresh pair of grits. If they're good undies and socks, I'd be all for it. But not if they're not.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I'm all for it. So this person wants any more socks or no more socks or novelty tees. Again, clothing. But sometimes it's like Dad would look cute in this t-shirt. Just give it a go.
Starting point is 00:47:37 My dad doesn't want undies for Father's Day. Anything that I have to share or anything that makes me have to interact with the family. So that rolls out outings. Special outing is a no for that dad. I'd say get him a can of chocolate.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. Yeah. And socks is just really high on the list. So avoid socks. Steer away from socks please. Alright.
Starting point is 00:47:59 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast. Bella Thorne has made headlines because she joined OnlyFans, a subscription-based site where people can see content of yours. Mm, with bits of your money.
Starting point is 00:48:14 It's generally pretty explicit content. Yeah. She joined and she earned around a million dollars on her very first day. Now, this has proven to be problematic because when people join, they pay $200. And then they saw three photos and they are quite upset because they were in lingerie and not kind of as explicit as they'd hoped for. Yes. So people are asking for their money back. Now, this could be the reason, although OnlyFans is denying it, this could be the reason why they have now introduced a maximum charge of $50 for
Starting point is 00:48:45 access to images and also the amount of time it takes to get paid has increased from 7 days to 30. Now there are a lot of people on OnlyFans, this is their sole income and they've gone from getting paid weekly now to monthly.
Starting point is 00:49:01 And she is wearing it and I guess rightly so. Yeah. Because she did kind of, did juke people. Yeah. Well, one person, one content creator on OnlyFans said she scammed her subscribers and sent out a $200 PPV, pay-per-view, claiming it was fully nude and it was not.
Starting point is 00:49:19 So lots of people asking for refunds and OnlyFans, people are saying, might be struggling to repay. It's like paying for a Sky Sport boxing match and they go down in the first round. Yeah. Is that right? That could be a thing. Sure. That's why they have all the undercard fights. Right. Or you pay
Starting point is 00:49:38 for the whole thing, don't you? Right. But yeah, they've also changed the maximum payment. So she was charging $200. You can only charge up to $50 now. Because they've been struggling to pay people the refunds. Yeah. And process them. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:52 They've said the transaction limits are to help prevent overspending and to allow our users to continue to use the site safely. Which, again, people have a problem with because they're like, I was charging people more to see my stuff. Yeah. And, yeah, people are feeding their... Which also you can kind of understand because if it's like
Starting point is 00:50:07 the extreme end of things they should be allowed to charge what they want. If you had a hot bod and it was garnering payments of $250 and all of a sudden it's, what is the maximum now? $50. Your bod hasn't got less hot. No.
Starting point is 00:50:24 It's false economies. I'd like to see Cameron Bagri comment on that. You know how he's like, the economics guy when they want to talk about economics. Yeah, he's always in the media. Him or that young dude. Yeah. That's not Cameron Bagri. That's a different guy, eh?
Starting point is 00:50:39 No, there's that young guy that's always on the news too. Young blonde guy, always in a suit. Oh, yeah. He comments on economic matters. I'd like to know what his thoughts are on this, OnlyFans. Crossing now to the, yeah. Yeah, to the ASB business desk. OnlyFans.
Starting point is 00:50:55 But yeah, they're denying it. OnlyFans are denying it. It's just interesting that it's happened at exactly the same time that Bella made a million dollars. So we'd love to know if you've ever been the reason the rules were changed, because she definitely is. Right. So have you done something and it's resulted
Starting point is 00:51:13 in the whole rules or system being changed? Because maybe you found a loophole that needed to be changed. Well, and sometimes these things happen. Yeah. And the rules change for the better. We entered an award once and we learned that you didn't have to enter, like the written aspect didn't have to be written in like a presented A4 style. Like a piece of paper.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Bound together piece of paper. We learned that. So we went to the Fisher and Paykel factory and got old fridge doors and entered. We put all of them. Because we went to the Fisher and Paykel factory and got old fridge doors and entered. We put all of them. Because you had to have four duplicate copies of your entry. Four fridge doors. And we stuck them on like, you know, like your mum used to stuff
Starting point is 00:51:58 on the fridge. And the rules changed and you were only allowed to submit an A4 paper bound with plastic binder. Didn't they try and make us come pick up those fridge doors? Yeah, they did. We're like, no. We're like, no.
Starting point is 00:52:11 This is your stupid rules. You didn't specify. Does everybody else have to come and pick up their ones? Yeah. We also didn't want, I think we were being forced to enter. So this was also a way for us to be like, this is what happens when you make us do something. Honestly, I think more effort got put into that than the rest of the show that entire year,
Starting point is 00:52:29 which is why we didn't win. But the rules changed. But we did get rules changed. Yeah. Because of our entry. For the better. For the better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Streamlined it. We showed them that they had a weak point in their system. Yeah. This is after Bella Thorne made a million dollars on OnlyFans in one day and suddenly they have capped the amount that you're allowed to charge people
Starting point is 00:52:48 and you're getting paid monthly instead of weekly. Yeah, all because of her. One person. So when were you the reason the rules changed? John, what happened? When were you
Starting point is 00:52:59 the reason the rules changed? Yeah, so we went out to some work during the pub just, you know, a few quiet ones afterwards with some of the guys. Yep. And I thought I could try and keep up with some of the older guys and ended up, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:13 getting pretty inebriated and vomiting in the urinals in the men's bathroom and making a little fool out of myself. Okay. And so what, and so why did work not like that? Oh, you know, we're just in our uniforms, so... Yeah. Wow. And so what did work change?
Starting point is 00:53:32 No going out in the work uniform? Yep, no, no, not at all. Go home, get changed. All because of you, John. Yes, and five years ago, still the same rule applies. Wow. Brilliant. All right, thanks, John. Yes, and five years ago, still the same rule applies. Brilliant. Alright, thanks John. Thomas, why are you the reason the rules have changed?
Starting point is 00:53:55 Oh yeah, so I'm real proud of this, but basically when I was in college I refused to shave my beard and instead of being a bit of a dick about it, I actually went around changing the rules. So I went to all the board of trustees, well not all of them, about it, I actually went around changing the rules. So I went to all the board of trustees, well, not all of them, but yeah, board of trustees meetings, meetings with the deputy principal, and I got the rule changed so you can have a bed in college. Yes!
Starting point is 00:54:15 That's awesome. And it gets better too. What a stupid rule. If you can grow, what more power to you? Yeah, but all of the schools on the North Shore, I'm not sure if it's the rest of Auckland, but they saw that my college changed the rules
Starting point is 00:54:27 and realised they had to change it too if they wanted to keep up. That's brilliant. Wow. So it was the domino effect. I just... I just... Sorry, carry on. Sorry, carry on.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Oh, no, you're a pain in the ass. It's me now. Me now. I'm not born. That was freaky because I didn't think that was you or me, and I was like, that's weird. That's what you sound like. I'd be just stoked to grow a beard.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Yeah. Like at high school. That's probably why they didn't want them growing them at high school because most of it just would have been like puffy pubes on the... Some really long ones. Yeah. Many years ago when Morrowpacks first came out, there were competitions you entered that required you to send two or more morrow wrappers.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Okay. I want a pair of new shoes after sending in mini wrappers. So you'd buy a... So you had to enter using the long morrow, like a full morrow bar, but we got mini morrows, and I just entered competitions using the mini morrows oh that's a loophole yeah so that was a big loophole i want a pair of shoes and then the next week you had to send in the specially marked full-size wrappers in their competition but they had not stated that prior to you got them you got them that's a good loophole i like that there's a few um loopholes like that. At primary school, for tuck shop orders, you'd get your food, but not your drink.
Starting point is 00:55:48 And it came in a brown paper bag. Now, on your brown paper bag, it would say what drink you'd had. Yeah. So you'd walk up and you'd be like, hi, and you'd show the brown paper bag, and the ladies would give you a drink. Yeah. I'm guessing so it was still cold. Anyway, they didn't cross the drink out upon collection,
Starting point is 00:56:01 so you'd just pass your bag to your mate and they'd walk up and be like, hi. And you'd get six drinks for the price of one. Until we got busted for getting multiple drinks and the rules got changed. When they crossed it out. Good loophole. Yeah, great loophole. I like that.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Sixth form, the test said circle all the correct answers. I hadn't studied, so I just circled all of the possible answers and got 100%. But technically you'd circled the right one. The incorrect answer, but you'd also correct. Yeah. You'd circled the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Oh, yeah, you've got them on a loophole there. You've got them on a loophole. The teacher had to change a test that had been using for seven years. It got me through internal assessments. Because you'd then say circle the one correct answer. Yes, circle one answer that you believe to be correct. Yeah, right. I was a bar manager and got 50% staff drinks taken away
Starting point is 00:56:49 for all staff after too many late nights on the Raz after the bar closed. We were the reason Vuvuzelas got banned from New Zealand stadiums following the Football World Cup. It was Wellington Phoenix game in Hamilton and we annoyed so many people that they officially changed the rules. No Vuvuzelas.
Starting point is 00:57:05 They're very abrasive. What year was that, 2010? It was the Football World Cup. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, take me back to a year where the world's biggest problem was the Vuvuzelas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the roadrunner. Now, roadrunner. Now... Meep, meep, meep, meep. Roadrunner. Make sure you pay attention to the fact of the day. It is our 50K fact of the day.
Starting point is 00:57:50 It's all thanks to Save My Bacon, helping you borrow money online and growing your credit score at the same time. We'll ask you a question about this fact at midday and at four o'clock if you're the one that can get through and answer correctly. $500 each time. So the Roadrunner from Warner Brothers cartoons,
Starting point is 00:58:06 easy to do the meep meep, harder to do the blub blub blub blub. When he pokes his tongue out. Blub blub blub. Blub blub blub. Blub blub blub blub. Damn it. You're going to have to Google that. No, I knew you'd do that.
Starting point is 00:58:18 What's the next year for sound? Blub blub blub blub. It just came out. And we'll go blub blub blub blub. Okay. Blub blub blub. Oh. That's such a rad looking cartoon. I need to watch them. It just came out. And we'll go... Okay. Um... Oh. Such a rad looking cartoon.
Starting point is 00:58:29 I need to watch them. Here's Meep Meep. This is a one hour Meep Meep Roadrunner video. Of course there is. Oh, that's the tongue. That's not a human... In my mind, it was a human making that noise. There's no way that's a human noise.
Starting point is 00:58:44 That sounds like a ping pong ball in a glass jar. That sounds like you're trying to do something on the computer. The things on YouTube, eh? Well, today's... I've got heaps of facts about the roadrunner, as it turns out. I was led in with this fact, but I've learnt that the roadrunner, because it lives in dry areas, reabsorbs water from its faeces before excretion. Is that the fact of the day? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Oh, God. What does a roadrunner look like? Have you ever seen a real roadrunner? No. It's not purple and blue. It's does a roadrunner look like? Have you ever seen a real roadrunner? No. It's not purple and blue. It's got a long neck and... Nah, not really. Ah, okay.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Not too far off. I mean, colour-wise, no. Do you know it's more like a woodpecker? Yeah, okay, I can see that. Yeah, interesting. That's another interesting one. Also, it doesn't urinate out salt. It's got glands in its nose. It excretes the salt out the nose.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Fascinating bird. But what was it called before there were roads? Ground runner. Dirt runner. Path runner. No, don't have guesses. You're supposed to, it's a rhetorical question. You're supposed to be like, oh my God.
Starting point is 01:00:01 What was it called? It was called. Desert runner. No, it was called a chaparral cock. That's what it was called. Because there was no road run. There was no roads to run on. So what's the fact of the day?
Starting point is 01:00:13 Is that it? Before there were roads to run on, a road runner was called a chaparral cock. Now a chaparral is like the area that it's from. It's not quite like a full desert, but it's like flat. You know where he was always hooning around with the coyote chasing him? There might be some cacti.
Starting point is 01:00:28 There might be some shrubs. There's a lot of brownness. It doesn't look super. That is a chaparral. It's mostly the peninsula that you would find them on, on the west coast of America. But yeah, before there were roads, I'd never even considered it. That it had to have had a name before.
Starting point is 01:00:46 And the second part, like a rooster. Like a chicken. Yeah, like a chicken. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, because they would run around. So today's fact of the day is before there were roads, roadrunners were called chaperone cocks.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I spent Saturday driving a little digger and boy, did I have a fun day. Like not. Well, it was kind of like a bigger version of those little ones you play on when you're a kid. In the sandpit. With the levers. Yeah, right. But I tell you what, full respect to the digger drivers,
Starting point is 01:01:33 because, so, I'd never driven one before. So why did you get a digger? Oh, because my vegetable garden that I'm building, it wasn't, the ground was tilted enough. I wasn't going to, but then when I laid the raised bedding edges out, I was going to have to
Starting point is 01:01:53 either dig them in or have them on the tilt. And I wasn't going to have them on the tilt. You know me, I couldn't stand that every time I walked in and I'd be like,
Starting point is 01:02:00 so I need to flatten the ground out. Mate, I tried. It was, I borrowed the neighbor's rotary hoe to like break the ground out and they were like, way too need to flatten the ground out. Mate, I tried. It was, I borrowed the neighbour's rotary hoe to like break the ground out and they were like,
Starting point is 01:02:07 way too hard, way too hard. This was so much more fun. So I hire a little digger and I'd never driven a digger before. Shade's like, have you driven a digger?
Starting point is 01:02:15 I was like, no. And she's like, do they just let you hire a digger with absolutely no digger experience? I was like, apparently they do.
Starting point is 01:02:20 That was going to be my question. You can just go and get one. Yeah. But also, you can't just dig up your backyard Like what if there's cables
Starting point is 01:02:27 And like pipes under there No it's not I don't live in suburban I don't live in suburban Or you don't have cables or pipes Not in that part How do you know There's nothing
Starting point is 01:02:35 There's never been anything there There's no You don't know that I know where the cables come in I know where the phone I know where the power comes in And those are the two cables This is what everybody
Starting point is 01:02:44 That cuts through cables with a digger sees. I can see those. They're still on poles. Old school poles. And I know whereabouts the septic system is because we're not on like mains water and everything. Right. So you hire a digger to make your veggie garden flat. To make the veggie garden flat.
Starting point is 01:02:59 So it's on the trailer and I have to learn. It's on the trailer. I have to get it off. The first thing I ever do in a digger is back it off a trailer, which was. I didn't even, you don't even have no idea how to do that. No one's ever showed you. Nah. Oh my God. So I work out how to engage it.
Starting point is 01:03:15 And then I'm just like, I've driven like little track based things before. So I know that there's two handles and one controls each track. So you pull them both back and you go backwards straight. But if you pull one back, it'll start turning like that. So I back it off the trailer and I'm away. So I decide I'd better practice with the diggery bit before I go in and do the veggie garden part.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Because I've built that fence, so I don't want to knock my fence down. Imagine that. I didn't. Spoiler alert. I didn't. But no, I dug this hole. I was like, that's pretty cool. I just dug a hole. And then I filled the hole in. And then were you like looking around for other things you could dig? When I finished in the garden, because I just potted around in there for ages because it had a little like blade on the front as well.
Starting point is 01:03:55 And you could lower that. And so it was like a little bit of a bulldozer as well. And I just spent all day playing on it. That was the most fun I've had in ages. And you were saying this could be the Dad's Day present that every dad needs. Heck yeah, because my dad, I was talking to my dad last night. He's like, well, you didn't tell me you were getting a digger. I was like, I hired him for the day.
Starting point is 01:04:15 He was like, I want to hire a digger for the day. I was like, you should hire a digger for the day. He's like, did you have fun? I was like, I had so much fun. You just build yourself a massive sandpit and then go hire a digger. Yeah, well dad just... Isn't there that place in, it's in Vikargal? Yeah, down south there's like a digger playground. Yeah, and they'll
Starting point is 01:04:31 just let you play on a massive digger for the day or for an hour. That actually sounds pretty cool. Yeah. But like, so the digger, like I was saying, there's two sticks and you push them both forward if you want to go forward, both back and then like that does the twisting thing. So then there's a joystick and you push them both forward. If you want to go forward, both back. And then like that does the twisting thing. So then there's a joystick on each side.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Oh God. And they control the arm, the bucket, the diggy bit that makes it a digger. That takes a long time because each direction does something different. Like forward and back do something different. Right and left do something different. Gosh, it was fun though. I'm so surprised you didn't knock down your shirt or something. I'm equally surprised.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Sade was like, I was seriously waiting to hear, bang! Ah, fuck! Swear word. Take her off and then hear me stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. Oh, God. Bloody hell, I've done it. But now how much did you, because I've just found this, is dig this in the cargo.
Starting point is 01:05:24 This is the one I saw in the news. Oh, my God. Right. So they've actually got a Father's Day special for $1.99. Do it. How long do you get? What do you get to do? Oh, it doesn't say. That's a big digger, too.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Yeah, it's a big one. Like, you had a little mini one. I had a 1.9 tonne digger. Well, usually 2.48, so that's on special at the moment. Wow. That's a 15 tonne digger. Oh. But then that at the moment. Wow. That's a 15-tongue digger. Oh. And then that was the thing.
Starting point is 01:05:47 I just became obsessed with, we went for a drive yesterday, I saw a digger, I said to Shota, I was like, ooh, that looks like a good digger. You're just like a little kid when you're like,
Starting point is 01:05:56 oh, and I'm playing the digger. Oh my gosh, digger. Can you remember the most popular toys when I was at kindy was the digger toy and it would spin and the arm would reach out and then you tilt the bucket. It was like that.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Oh. And do you know what? So I did it all day. Yeah. I got it at eight in the morning. Took it back at four in the afternoon. I took a short, very succinct lunch break. Just yum, yum, yum, yum.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Back on the digger. Yeah. And it only cost me $9 diesel. Wow. You name more fun. But. And it only cost me $9 diesel. Wow. You need more fun. But how much did it cost to hire it? A couple of hundred bucks. But, what, you could go out and have fun and blow a couple of hundred bucks.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah. Oh, yeah, on like a Viaduct lunch or something. Yeah. Like a brunch for the whole green group. A bottomless brunch. Yeah. This was more fun than that. I didn't have to talk to anybody.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Yeah, right. I can tell you're excited because your nipples are hard. No, that's them down, actually. What? It was an erotic situation. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Yummy, yummy.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Another yummy, yummy treat is being launched. It is out today. Hey, guess what? What? I didn't do any naughty food during level three for the whole, like, two weeks. That's good, eh? You tried some of that. Do you want a middle?
Starting point is 01:07:18 You tried some of that chocolate. No, only because you made me. Like, that was one square of chocolate. Apart from that, I did no naughty meals. Oh, silly you. I know. Now I'm like, well. Well, this is out today.
Starting point is 01:07:30 You can try this. We've had other. Wait a minute. We're not having a medal ceremony. I deserve at least a certificate. Do we need the anthem? Do we need a flag to go up? Can you please make me a certificate at Microsoft Publisher?
Starting point is 01:07:43 Is that still a thing? What do you want it to say? I don't know what's in Microsoft Office but I don't believe Publisher is. Weep through level three without any treats.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Yeah, I did real good. I need some kind of acknowledgement. I've got Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Link. What's that? I'd like to see you make me a certificate
Starting point is 01:08:01 in Microsoft Excel. Done. With a border. I want a cute border. Oh, I can do a black line border, but that would be about the extent of it, I think. So this comes from Pascal. Yeah. Pascal.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Pascal. I've always just said Pascal. Pascal. So it's a lol. It's a lolly. And we've had other flavours of lumps before. You can't say pineapple lumps because when they change the flavour, it's not a pineapple lump anymore.
Starting point is 01:08:27 We had snifter lumps. Yeah, I remember those. Those were a bit weird, the snifter lumps. But I loved snifters, so I was down for it. Perky Nana lumps. Oh, yep. I remember those. And it's another collaboration.
Starting point is 01:08:41 So now, L&P lumps. How's that going to taste? Because it's lemony. Because I remember the LMP chocolate. There's not a lot of a lemon flavour in it. Nah.
Starting point is 01:08:52 It's like, mellow lemon. Yeah. And then, are they going to put, because remember when they did the Lemon and Pairoa chocolate,
Starting point is 01:09:01 it had like fizzy bits in it? Yeah. Are we going to get little fizzy bits? Little crackly bits? That'd be good. I'd be down for that. Nah, that was nice. It had like fizzy bits in it. Yeah. Are we going to get little fizzy bits? Little crackly bits? That'd be good. I'd be down for that. No, it'll just be flavoured.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Lemony flavour. What do you call that? Like puff. Puff. The inside, the filling. It'll just be. The lolly itself. It'll be flavoured puff.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Yeah, it'll be flavoured. It's not really marshmallow, is it? It's harder. Yeah. It's a hard puff. It just says the iconic lemony L&P flavour with dark chocolate. Is it unpatriotic of me to say I'm not really a huge fan of the L&P flavour? Well, I've never been a fan of pineapple lumps.
Starting point is 01:09:37 I know. I don't like pineapple lumps or what is tomato sauce. Pineapple lumps are down the list of snacks, of lollies. Oh, pineapple lumps are legit. You've had one and then the packet's gone. Guys, remember when celebrities used to come to New Zealand and would say, have you tried potty put lumps? That would probably still happen if celebrities were allowed to come to New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Yeah, I know, but it's just the celebrities that aren't coming. They're just not coming. Because they're not allowed to anymore. All right, so out today. Pascal, L&P lumps. Zeddy, Sledge, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Alright so out today Pascal LMP Lumps
