Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to the Fletch Warner Megan podcast. It's brought to you by McCafé. Grab yourself a delicious barista made coffee for only $4. Excuse me, that's my line. $4. $4. $4. $4. Well, I'm just, you're going to need, I'll tell you what costs more than $4. What's that?
Starting point is 00:00:19 I'm just reading that we've missed out because it's sold out and I know you'll be particularly gutted, Fletch. What is it? A luxury wellness retreat where Gemma McCall's going to be there. This is Richie McCall's missus? Yep. Yep. So there's not a lot known about the three-day retreat, but it's at the Cody Cliffs Family Suites. Oh.
Starting point is 00:00:39 $3,000 a night. Jesus. Okay. It's three nights. So what's wellness about it? Do you just do yoga and stuff? Apparently you'll go for a mindful bushwalk.
Starting point is 00:00:49 What's that? Aren't all bushwalks mindful? And after dinner fire chats. Mountain biking, spa treatments. Okay. Right. You sound so facetious. I like the word wellness.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's a word that's popped up lately, and it doesn't really mean one particular thing. This just sounds like a relaxing weekend. If they left wellness off it, you would have been less judgmental because all of that sounds quite fun. Yeah. Because it's a wellness retreat. You two are like, oh, oh, get the crystals out.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Yeah, well, that's it. Are you going to be having a massage and they're going to put a hot crystal on you? No, it might feel nice. I've had a hot rock. Have you ever had a hot rock? Those are delicious. I wasn't a big fan because I felt like it took too much time away from just being touched. Then they rub the rocks on you.
Starting point is 00:01:42 No, you're right. No, the rocks don't. When they put them on and they just leave them and I feel like that'd take five minutes. Yeah, and then then. Then they rub the No you're right The hot stones When they put them on And they just leave them And I feel like That'd take five minutes Yeah and then And then they come back
Starting point is 00:01:50 And they're getting a break And then they're having a break You know that the stones Are actually doing something Like loosening up your muscles No are they though Loosening up your muscles Yeah but so is a rubby hand
Starting point is 00:01:59 I could bloody microwave Some rocks at home And lie on the lounge floor Listen to some Enya Sade's like What did you put in the microwave Just some rocks at home and lie on the lounge floor, listen to some Enya. Sade's like, what have you put in the microwave? Just some rocks. And then boom, I've microwaved the wrong kind of rock because you can't hang with the wrong type of rock.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Yeah, no, you've got to get good river rocks. You should put, next time you do a grill or a barbecue, put some rocks on there. Well, my mother-in-law, who's a masseuse, but not the type that wanks you off at the end. Well, in my experience, she doesn't. She's like trained. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:28 She had just like an electric fry pan. You know those electric fry pans? Yeah. And she'd put the rocks in there. And they just warm them. But you should ask her if this is a technique to get 10 minutes off in an hour massage. That's a hot, yeah, yeah. It bloody is.
Starting point is 00:02:42 It's to relax your muscles. In five minute increments, you could probably knock off 15 minutes off an hour massage from actually having to do something. It's like when you see personal trainers at the gym having a chin wag with their clients. Yeah. That's the clients trying to get a break in between sets. It's both. It's both. And then you end up, you've only had 20 minutes in an hour of exercise.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah. Because you've been yarning about last night's television. I'm not getting charged for a conversation with a PT. Make me do press-ups the whole time. I've got some music
Starting point is 00:03:10 playing here. This is when I'm microwaving my rocks. Oh my God. I had this on CD. Oh, I think that was actually in you. Good work.
Starting point is 00:03:25 It's not English, right? Yeah. What did she say? Where the day flows. Only time. No way. I always thought this was a foreign language. No, some of these songs aren't English, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Is this Only Time? Wait, is this Enya or Enigma? This is Enya. Oh, yeah, I had an Enigma too. Oh, only time? Wait, is this Enya or Enigma? This is Enya. Oh yeah, I had an Enigma too. Oh, did you? Wow. Big fan. Sometimes I listen to it in the car on the way to work
Starting point is 00:03:53 because I need a bit of calm before the storm. What storm? The Fletcher Bourne storm. Wow. That hurts, but at the same time it's a compliment. Wait for the hook. You look up lyrics so you can sing along. I can't see where we're at. Wait for the drop.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Wait for the drop. This is a drop. Who can say when the roads meet and that love might be in your... Nope. Well, microwave your rocks. Yeah. Get yourself a wellness... Do that at home. Weekend massage going. We can put this on today. Yeah. Get yourself a wellness weekend massage going.
Starting point is 00:04:26 We can put this on today. Yeah. It's lovely. Check the temper of your rocks pre-application. They could be very hot. You don't want to singe you back. Yeah. And just hold on.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Let me Google it for you. What kind of rocks? River. Don't use river for a hungy. For a massage. What kind of rocks are used for a hot stone massage? Sometimes you can cheat in a hungy and put in like iron, like railway tracks. Yeah, that's easier to do.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's easier to come across them. But then if you've inherited hungy signs, that's pretty rad. Or if you've inherited some railway track, just cut off a segment, put that in the microwave for 30 seconds. Hot stone massage consists The therapist used Flat black basalt rocks The type of volcanic rock That safely holds the heat
Starting point is 00:05:10 Without cracking And releases it At a more controlled And even rate Okay so Does it have a microwave time So pop down to Fulton Hogan Ask them whereabouts

I had my shoes on from four in the morning till like well late at night. Right till eight. Right to eight. Quarter past eight.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Did you not take your shoes off when you were like walking around the house? No, but I never really like was in the house much. It was a big day. You know that's what most You didn't take your shoes off.
Starting point is 00:06:55 You know most people face it every day they leave the house. That long? And then go to work and then come back. Nah, not that long. They leave at like six or seven
Starting point is 00:07:02 and they get home at like six. This was for all the way around the clock. Right. And then four more. 16 hours. I don't want to call myself a hero, but that is a big day. I'll wait until it's time to see them out. Look what you left your shoes on for.
Starting point is 00:07:17 In one stretch. That was a long. Like I remember when my dad would take breaks from, because dairy farmers, they'd kick their boots off at the door because they daren't bring that bloody muddy mess inside. Oh yeah, Christina kicking his ass. But I remember when he used to drive trucks and he'd get home after driving trucks all day
Starting point is 00:07:34 and he'd take his boots off and he'd be like, oh God, like that's what it felt like. Like a long day. Tootsies, I haven't seen you for 16 hours. I don't know. Well, no, because I took them off, I left the socks on, so the tootsies remain hidden. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:07:48 It also occurred to me recently how white my feet are. Yeah. Because of that winter socked period. Okay, well, please give generously to Vaughn's feet. Don't worry about red nose day today. Heck, my white feet will work with my red nose. Sure. We've got your chance to win before six this morning

Starting point is 00:08:24 and very just generally entertaining man. Yeah. Great temper. He's been offered a game show. Okay. The details of the game show have yet to been released, but I've got the top six game shows for Gordon Ramsay. All right, it's coming up.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And next, how to utilise the sensors to heighten your experience in the bedroom. All right. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I've got some ways to use the senses to heighten your experience in the bedroom. Okay. Some of these are really weird and some of them you'll be like, oh yeah, that makes sense. Is one of them Lynx Africa? Ooh, Lynx Africa.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Kind of. We'll start with smell then. Okay. I mean, it doesn't exactly say Lynx Africa, but scent is really important. links Africa. Kind of? We'll start with smell then. Okay. I mean, it doesn't exactly say links Africa, but scent is really important. And specifically, there's one smell that can improve a man's...
Starting point is 00:09:19 What's a good way of saying that word? Sweaty balls. What smell could possibly improve sweaty balls? I don't know. Improver, man. Links Africa. Excitement. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:33 But in what regard? What do you mean? His stiffness you're referring to. Oh, yeah. The erectness. Yeah, okay. It can make that better. It says it can improve it by 40%, so I don't make, what does that mean? Make it.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Well, what's the smell? Is it Lynx Africa? It smells hot, people. Yeah. It's pumpkin pie. What? Pumpkin pie? I don't even think I've ever had a pumpkin pie.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Pumpkin pie. You talk about pumpkin pies, eh, because I'm not a fan of a, like that. It's pumpkins. Andrew loves a pumpkin pie. Oh, is that? Yeah. No, what? Is that code not a fan of a like that. It's pumpkins. Andrew loves the pumpkin pie. Oh, is that? Yeah. No, what? Is that code? No, no, no. No. What? I don't think so. Does he love the smell of pumpkin pie? Fresh one
Starting point is 00:10:14 cooling on the winters. He's always like, you should make your pumpkin pie. It's so American. I've never had a pumpkin pie. Is it just pastry with runny pumpkin? No. See, now that's how our mums would have made it. But like our mums in the 80s, like they ruined Brussels sprouts. They ruined broccoli.
Starting point is 00:10:30 They ruined all the stuff now that's cooked right, char-grilled. It's like sweet and spicy. Yeah, see, I'd be down for trying one now because my mum's pumpkin pie was very sloppy. Sloppy? No, no, no. I don't think it should be sloppy. Does it have a crust? You could put like a sweet short pastry, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Yeah, see, ours is just like sloppy pumpkin with like cheese on top. Cheese! I'll get mum's pumpkin pie recipe. It is a sloppy mess. Cheese! I'm sure it was cheese. But the smell of pumpkin pie is arousing for men. Yeah. Wow. So there's a few
Starting point is 00:11:07 and actually there's a few key smells, but they kind of all incorporate into pumpkin pie, which would be why. Right. Cinnamon is one, nutmeg, vanilla, star anise. It smells like a pumpkin spice latte. Or mulled wine. You put those spices in mulled wine too.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yes. But generally... Star of the Anoos, did you say? No. Oh my God. Star of Anoos. Ah, the Anoos star. It's all sweet.
Starting point is 00:11:34 The darkest star. It's all sweet things. So even the smell of donuts can get men aroused. Donuts? That's why every time I walk into Krispy Kreme I need a minute.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Yeah. And you're not allowed to wear your track pants in a Krispy Kreme So like a scented candle where you can like cook a crumble or something
Starting point is 00:11:52 I had a friend that would swear by fast food in the bedroom What the smell of like chips Yeah Really
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah yeah Interesting Chicken and yeah would swear by Nah a food they're very different moments for me Yeah Like chips and chicken and yeah, would swear by it. Nah, food, they're very different moments for me. Like, yum fried chicken.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah. That indicates don't touch me, I've got a food baby. Right. And then, yeah, nah, take away food. What is a sexy entree? Because you don't eat seafood, I would have gone for your oysters. Oysters. Yeah, and a vinaigrette.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Some money bags. Yum. I know, with a little a vinaigrette. Some money bags. Yum. I know. With a little thing of sweet chilli dipping sauce. Tell you what, that would get me going in the bedroom. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Grammarly. It is this online thing, right?
Starting point is 00:12:39 It's like an add-on. Yeah. It adds on to your browser. Yeah. And I did this because It checks your spelling I love a little bit of grammar Founded in 2009
Starting point is 00:12:49 Right Do you know that Grammarly advertising was the reason I signed up to YouTube Premium? Because every time I wanted to watch a video it was like Grammarly Do you want to write letters real good? Yeah You've already messed up there Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:06 Do you need help with your England? Yeah So I installed it because I quite like Spell checks On the free trial I'm on a beta version Because that's what I've just I always forget I've got it
Starting point is 00:13:21 And then a little green What are you paying for? Comes around No I don't think so See this is the problem when you are Grammarly The free online writing I always forget I've got it. And then a little green. What are you paying for? Comes around. No, I don't think so. See, this is the problem when you are a grammar. For Emily, the free online writing. I think I had to create an account. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I said, do you not pay for it? No, because I think you pay for it if it's for like in your email. Like there's an add-on to your browsers for free. Right. But if you've got it connected to your, if you've got it running in the background, I think that's the one you pay for. So that does it all in like Word or Word processes or email or anything like that. When you're a grammar Nazi like yourself, though,
Starting point is 00:13:50 you've got to tread carefully. You've got to have this because as soon as you put a foot wrong, Megan or I or somebody will call you up. Yeah. And I still have no idea when's the correct time to use the comma, the Oxford comma, the semicolon and that. That's all guesswork. Yeah, that. That's all guesswork. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:14:07 That's all guesswork. So it's just running in the background there. So does it put a squiggly line? Is it like Microsoft Word? It puts a squiggly line under anything? No, it goes in the little green because Grammarly's icon is a green circle with an arrow going around in it that also looks a bit like a G.
Starting point is 00:14:26 So a clever graphic design there. And that spins, and then it has a little number beside it, so it'll tell you how many errors you've made. Oh, okay. And then you can click that, and it'll show you your errors. Oh, right. Now, this isn't an ad for Grammarly. I'm just explaining how it works.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I find it quite handy. Not Spawn. You don't want to be taken to the advertising standards authority. No, this was not gifted,, no. This was not gifted. Not nothing. This was just me explaining to you how this works.
Starting point is 00:14:49 So just now I've learned a new feature of Grammarly. I was writing a rather sternly worded message to Ross Boss. Because he loves getting these at 6am.
Starting point is 00:15:01 He's also on holiday this week. And this is like at 6am. And about halfway through, Grammarly puts a little angry face beside the Grammarly logo. Yeah. And I'm like, what's this?
Starting point is 00:15:15 And I click on the angry face and it says, the Grammarly has detected the tone of your writing to be angry. Is this correct? And then you can click yes or no. And if it was like yes, it was like, sweet as, let off some steam, brother. But if you click no, it said here are some words to change to take the tone down a level. But then is that making it more passag?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Probably, but I don't know what little emoji would pop up for Passag. Yeah. The smug laugh. But that's cool, right? Because if you're trying to like put someone on blast but not, so you're like Passag. And it's saying, hey, these are the words that are like, these are recognised as aggressive words or aggressive succession of phrases.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yep. We recommend changing these just to pull it back a notch. Yeah. That's good because I thought it was just like spell check and punctuation stuff. Because that's kind of like, you know, when you send an email, you're like, I should have slept on that email. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:16 That's kind of preventing that, isn't it? No, I finished with a ha, ha, ha. So you know how that works. That's classic flit. Yeah, ha, ha, ha is my full stop. Angry, angry, ha, ha. I you know how that works. So it's classic Fletch. Yeah, ha, ha, ha is my full stop. Angry, angry, ha, ha. I threw you under the bus saying, you're lucky you got the watered-down version from me
Starting point is 00:16:31 and not straight from Fletch. Ha, ha, ha. Have a lovely holiday. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah. He can't wait to get back on Monday. Grammarly and I have worked well together in this situation. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Starting point is 00:16:42 The podcast. ZM. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hello there. Apparently Gordon Ramsay's been offered a quiz show for ITV in the UK. Okay. Quiz show host. Add that to the resume.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Quite an impressive looking LinkedIn profile. Because he's been doing that travel show, isn't he? Where he travels around with his mates. With those two dudes. Was he just like, I just want a travel show with my mates? Yeah. Living the dream. The chefs, right?
Starting point is 00:17:14 Is there an Italian chef and a Spanish chef? I think so. Yeah. And they just go around. Yeah, I saw one episode. The food was phenomenal. Hmm. I like a travel show where it's mostly just about eating.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Is he still grumpy in it? Nah. No, he's not really, eh? Nah. He doesn't get grumpy at all. He, because they're his mates. Yeah. He tells them off and gets frustrated with them every now and then.
Starting point is 00:17:38 But that's as grumpy as it gets. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because one of them quite likes getting nude. In the episode I saw, the dude liked getting nude. So the top six game shows adapted for Gordon Ramsay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:50 It's today's top six. Number six on that list is, are you smarter than an effing six-year-old, you muppet? Just a slightly, he gets very disappointed in people that fail to meet his expectations, a la Hell's Kitchen. I'm going to be disappointed if there's no swearing in this game show. It'd be good if it was a, yeah, adults, adult-only game show.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah. But even then, they'd probably blank the swearing, but there'd be swearing. Yeah. But have you seen him with his kids? The stuff that he's done with his kids, he's not... Because he's on TikTok a lot with his daughter.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Daughter. Is it Megan or Tilly? Tilly. Yeah. And he's on TikTok a lot with his daughter. Is it Megan or Tilly? Tilly. Yeah. And he's super chill. He seems like a really cool dad. Yeah, wildly. I guess the kitchen's his domain.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six game shows adapted for Gordon Ramsay. Who the F wants to be a millionaire? Sounds like a headache to me. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six game shows adapted for Gordon Ramsay. Family effing feud. So you want to feud in family?
Starting point is 00:18:53 I'll sort you lot out. But then those families are never really, are they feuding against other families? Yeah. But even then, feuds, they only said feud for the alliteration. They did, yeah. Some of them are feuding. It only said feud for the alliteration. They did, yeah. Some of the feuding. It's competing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:07 It's competing. Number three on the list of the top six game shows adapted for Gordon Ramsay, The Price Better Be Right, you effing Muppet. He likes Muppet. He says that quite a few times. Number two on the list of the top six game shows adapted for Gordon Ramsay, Wheel of... But it's not fortune. it's the other F word.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Okay. And you spin up different valued Fs. Okay. And number one, The Tipping Point is the game show adapted for Gordon Ramsay, but it's more about his mood than those little disc things. Like, you just have to do things poorly until he reaches his mood tipping point, and then he just absolutely loses his rag. Gordon, I've burnt my omelette.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yes! What are you? An idiot sandwich. $200! He reaches his mood tipping point and then he just absolutely loses his rank. Gordon, I've burnt my omelette. Yes. What are you? An idiot sandwich. $200. An idiot sandwich. That's one of his best. One of his best because he absolutely destroyed that person without swearing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Just really made them question their existence. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I was just looking into where the hell the male contraceptive pill is. It's been in development for 50 years, so I could probably take the excitement back a notch because it's probably not going to be any time soon. They developed the contraceptive pill in 10 years for women,
Starting point is 00:20:17 but for some reason it's taking 50 years plus. How long ago did they develop the contraceptive pill for women? Oh, I don't know. And it's one of those things that they stumble across something that had a contraceptive effect. Oh, yeah, it was the 60s. It was explored further. Or they were like, you know what these women need?
Starting point is 00:20:35 To stop having babies. Let's mix up some chemicals that'll do that. So it was first approved in 1957 by the FDA. Wow. But not for contraceptive initially. Oh, right. Previous to that, there was a flawless contraceptive method called the withdrawal method.
Starting point is 00:20:56 That's why Catholic families were always numbered in their 13s plus. That's why they always had to get a minivan. Yes. But yes, side note, it says that the reason it's taking so long, lack of funding, disinterest from men and pharmaceutical companies and unpleasant side effects.
Starting point is 00:21:11 There are a lot of side effects, Megan. Well, I'm about to read you another side effect that's only just been discovered, potentially. There's 150 million women across the world that use the contraceptive pill. Yeah. And a lot of us start it when we're
Starting point is 00:21:26 teenagers. And like, it could be for other reasons, like it helps regulate. Yep. It can help your skin. It does have positive benefits. So often you get put on it when you're younger. But I don't know why this study's only just been done, but it can have a negative
Starting point is 00:21:41 effect on your brain health. Oh, okay. A significant impact on mental well-being. So they did studies on women who have never taken the pill and those who started taking it when they were younger and to see if they had any behavioral or neurophysiological effects. Yeah. And they did find that they were more likely to suffer from stress. They also had increased activity
Starting point is 00:22:08 in the prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that does cognitive behaviour. So that's how you deal with stress and decisions and everything, right? Right. Why are you smirking? You're like, this is why you guys are crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I didn't say that. No, I can just read it all over your face. What's that look for on your face? Sympathy. It affects how we react to negative situations. Right, okay. So that might be why sometimes we could be perceived to be flying off the handle a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I'm not agreeing that we do, but perceived to be. And it could lead to depression as well. Shit, okay. So can you just bloody get onto it, please? Bloody hell. Because you're like, oh, I don't want to put on weight and get zits. Well, I wasn't going to go to the lab after work today, but I'll head into the lab after work. I'm just going to have a long weekend and start my research back on Monday.
Starting point is 00:23:08 That's me dusting off the test tubes. Right. White coat on. Fleshwarner Megan, the podcast. ZM. Fleshwarner Megan's name suppression. All right, it's time for name suppression. Megan is currently wearing a pair of Panasonic's new S500 true wireless earbuds.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Noise cancelling. Do you know what I'm playing for her today? What do you play? I'll give you a little sample if you turn up my aux cord. Okay. This is what Megan's getting. Hold on. The song that doesn't end.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yes, it does. From Lamb Chop. Right. So Megan cannot hear us right now because... What? The song just goes on and on. Yeah, that's the idea of it. Leading dual hybrid noise cancelling.
Starting point is 00:23:59 These headphones are amazing. We've also got 200 bucks up for grabs. Good morning, Shannon. Good morning. All right, so we have up for grabs. Good morning, Shannon. Good morning. All right. So we have 10 seconds to tell your name to Megan. And if she can guess it correctly, you win. Otherwise, we go to the next caller.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Megan, are you ready? Thumbs up. Thumbs up. All right. Here we go. Shannon. Shannon. Shannon.

Starting point is 00:25:13 Have a great weekend. Thank you so much. You too. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, I inherited a Land Rover from my granddad when he passed away, sat in a shed for a while. I've talked about it a bit, but I'm a Land Rover from my granddad when he passed away, sat in a shed for a while. I've talked about it a bit, but I'm a big fan. And that's an old Land Rover.
Starting point is 00:25:30 And then the new Land Rover Defenders are launching this week. Right. They're in the new James Bond movie whenever that's going to be released. I'm so excited because that was meant to be out. Ages ago. Ages ago, yeah. Early June or even May was supposed to be James Bond I heard maybe November, December
Starting point is 00:25:48 But then who knows Yeah I mean because we can have movies here right Bring them all here We'll watch them We'll watch them We still like watching movies And like promise we won't record them
Starting point is 00:25:58 Yeah definitely won't put it on the internet Promise Promise Promise But come on My dog chewed up the tripod thing I had for my phone, so I can't even use that to film. So I promise it won't be a thing.
Starting point is 00:26:11 God, I can't wait to see that movie. So what, there's Land Rover's in there? There's Land Rover Defenders in there, the new Land Rover Defender. Do they have guns in them? Well, the people in them probably have guns. Okay, right. But the ones I've driven the last week. Because you're such a fan.
Starting point is 00:26:24 You love what they saw you on Instagram. I got invited to a launch last week. And then yesterday they were like, do you want to come out and drive it through the old forest tracks? Who are you? You were turning into Mike Hoskins. I was like. No, he doesn't own it.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I don't own one. I just drove somebody else. He doesn't own like 19 luxury cars. My one's 53 years old. I don't own a Mike Hoskins. How 19 luxury cars. Mine's 53 years old. I don't know. How old is Mike Hosking? 53 years old? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:50 I own a car older than him. Right. Right. So yesterday I got to drive it and go down a really, really steep hill. So steep. You would have been like shitting yourself. You know how you get a bit funny in cars. I get real funny in cars.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I don't like big hills. Because I think as a kid, my parents would drive me up down this really steep hill. And they'd be like, ooh. And I'd be like, ah. So your childhood trauma is a steep driveway. Yes. And they'd be like, ooh. And I'd be like, we might die.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Your parents would say that. No, I would say that. Oh, God, I was going to say that. It's a lot for a parent to point out. Every time you go down the driveway, today could be the day we die. Yeah. But 7 Sharp were filming, so there were GoPros on the car. Are you going to be on 7 Sharp?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yeah, on Monday. Driving the Land Rover, having lots of fun. And there was a GoPro on the windscreen. Right. Now, I had, unbeknownst to me, inadvertently, put the windscreen wipers on to auto. So the minute that it detects any rain or anything that's blocking your view, it will turn on the windscreen wipers and take care of it.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Another thing rich people have it good at. They don't have to be like, hmm, squirt, squirt, wipe, wipe. They don't have to do that. No. It does it for them. Yeah, okay. So it turns on, because I've turned it on to auto, and the windscreen wiper goes
Starting point is 00:28:20 up and hits the GoPro but jumps over the GoPro but then can't get past the GoPro. What's the GoPro but jumps over the GoPro but then can't get past the GoPro So the GoPro's suctioned onto the window The windscreen at the very end of the wiper so the wiper jumps over the GoPro. It must have a smoother way to go over but then it can't get back
Starting point is 00:28:35 and it's like, let me get back and I'm like, ah! And I'm trying to turn it off but it turns out I'm turning the indicator on and off because it's European It's the other way around. It's on the other side I do this in every car i get into i'm like oh no i want to turn and so it's like oh i'm trying to turn it off but it's i'm just turning on the indicator yeah right so then i eventually get to the other one and I pull it down to like max. Oh, Vaughn. Rather than just being on casual dust wiper. And it goes clank and it breaks it.
Starting point is 00:29:10 You broke the wiper. The wiper came off. And then, so it's just the metal thing on the windscreen going, Ah! And I'm like, Ah! Is this a $160,000 car? The top end ones are $160,000. Entry-level price, look at $89,000.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Non-spawn. Right. Okay. Just letting you know. They're not giving you one, especially after this. But please, I'll take the one that I have now broken. Because the windscreen wiper, the clip that holds the blades broken, and there's a eeeh across the window.
Starting point is 00:29:44 I can't afford the windscreen of a car. Are they going to send you a bill? Who was in the car with you? Anyone that was responsible for the car? No. He was like, quick, turn it off. Let's get this all done. How did you cover it up?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Nah, it's the windscreen. I don't know what it is. It didn't. We wiped the windscreen and the came off. So that was lucky. And it only did one across the windscreen and the came off so that was lucky and it only did one across the windscreen okay
Starting point is 00:30:07 so there was no scratch but then the clip they were like yeah right I was like I've got to be honest with you the clip on the windscreen wiper blades broken
Starting point is 00:30:14 and they're like that's right I was like okay cool there was that moment of like are you about to be billed for this
Starting point is 00:30:22 how much does a windscreen wiper clip cost I want to bring you yeah Land Rover Land Rover moment of like are you about to be bailed for this how much does a windscreen wiper clip cost on a really yeah Land Rover Land Rover so there was this
Starting point is 00:30:30 period of time where I'm like I've broken something I can't afford I have to go home and say to Sade I'm like put a hold on all of your plans we're not gonna have
Starting point is 00:30:37 money for the next six months I gotta pay off a clip but yeah I thought it was one of those situations where I had thought
Starting point is 00:30:44 I had broken something that I couldn't afford. Okay. And you know when you break something, it's not yours and maybe you shouldn't have been playing with the expensive thing. Especially when you're a kid. Oh, and you're told not to. That's the worst when you're a kid and you break something expensive after you've
Starting point is 00:30:59 been told not to touch it. Yeah. Like when we broke, our grandparents got a new TV and we were playing with it. They just said to us, don't to touch it. Yeah. Like when we broke, our grandparents got a new TV and we were playing with it and they just said to us, don't play with it. And I pushed something in too hard and it broke one of the buttons on it.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And I was like, you got a hiding? I was like, I was like, Philip, how do you do this again? And my brother came across and pressed it.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I was like, oh, he's broken now. Classic. I did this a few times. I was like, oh, he's broken now. Classic. I did this a few times. There was like a couple of things I broke that I was like, do you know how this works? And he'd come and be like, of course I know how it works.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I'm the oldest. And he'd start playing. I'd be like, oh, it seems he's broken now. Thanks to everybody that came along to our Bangers Bingo last night at the Elephant Wrestler in Takapuna. Our next one will be Hamilton on the 20th of August. Then we'll be in Tauranga on the 27th. Tauranga at the Freeport Tavern.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Still working on a Hamilton venue. We'll be in Dunedin, Wellington, Christchurch. You can register ZM online. Could we, again, in Hamilton, could we perhaps look into a venue that does Malaysian food? Last night I had a hawker roll and those are absolutely delicious. You had a rendang curry. I did, yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Yeah, it was delicious. And Megan had the Malaysian delicacy of a plain pizza. What are they called? Margarita. Margarita. Yeah. It's seasonal vegetable. And she had two courgettes and a broccoli.
Starting point is 00:32:21 That's what I like about you. You live a lot. You live a lot. You're like, you know what, I'm going to live tonight. Dinner's taken I like about you. You live a lot. You live a lot. You know what? I'm going to live tonight. Dinner's taken care of. I can literally order anything on the menu. I'll have the world's most boring pizza and some steamed veg, please.
Starting point is 00:32:38 I'm like, fried chicken. Am I allowed pudding? Yeah. When I ordered that, I also ordered no shit from you. Remember? Megan's order on the group text said, seasonal vegetables and a margarita pizza and no teasing about my order. I was like,
Starting point is 00:32:53 well, we can deliver two thirds of that here at Cafe Vaughan, but we can't promise the food. Talking now about those times when you broke something that you couldn't afford because Vaughan, you broke a $160,000 Land Rover window wiper yesterday. Look, that's all taken care of. It's in the past.
Starting point is 00:33:11 It's in the past. So we want to know what you've broken. Yeah. Amy, good morning. What did you break that you couldn't afford? A house and an open home. Oh, no. What did you break?
Starting point is 00:33:31 So we decided to push our price bracket up just to have a look what there was and saw this house and went along, and it was kind of too good to be true. It was a bit cheaper, and we were walking through, and I saw this discoloured patch on the ceiling in the lounge, and I put my hand up to just see if it was wet and put my whole hand through the ceiling. Well, that's not on you. It shouldn't do that. There's your too good to be true.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yeah. The agent wasn't surprised, and then I said, look, I'm going to need to get a builder's report, and he said, oh, don't waste your money. There's an offer in. You don't need one. Real estate agents. What did he say? There's enough room. You don't need
Starting point is 00:34:09 one. No, there's an offer in. No, he said there's an offer in. Oh, there's an offer in. You don't get a builder's report. Wow. So they were just having an open home to try to scare the people with the offer to go unconditional. It's still on the market. So whether or not it was just a don't get a builder's report
Starting point is 00:34:28 because if you know that there's something wrong, we have to do something. You just put your hand through the ceiling. So, I mean, do we need a builder to tell us? Amy, thanks. You call Stacey. What did you break that you couldn't afford? It was my dad's snooker queue.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Oh. Now, what do you mean? Expenny's? Yeah. It was one of those ones that, you know,. Now, what do you mean? Spinneys? Yeah. It was one of those ones that, you know, come in two parts and it's in a case. Oh. You screw them together? Yep.
Starting point is 00:34:52 That's the one. And dad used to polish it every time. Like, any time he used it, he used it every weekend. He would polish it and, oh, he loved it. He loved it. And we decided to skip with it. Skip. So, yeah, so we screwed it together, me and my two sisters,
Starting point is 00:35:08 and spun it around like a helicopter thing and was jumping on it, like jumping over it, and my sister jumped on it. Oh. Well, it's their fault. And did it break at the part where it screwed together? It snapped. It snapped in half. And so we put it back in the case.
Starting point is 00:35:25 And my sister wrote a sorry note. I put it in the case with it. And then I thought, I'm not getting in trouble. I didn't jump on it. So I wrote a second note saying it was Jamie. And did she get in trouble? Yeah. Yeah, and she wrote, yeah, the note was in there.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah, the note was in there. So Dad opened it, found the note. To be fair, we all got a whooping. Yeah. Yeah, and she wrote, yeah, the note was in there. Yeah, the note was in there. So Dad opened it, found the note. To be fair, we all got a whipping. With the snooker cue? Sorry? Did you get whacked with the snooker cue? Oh, no. I think that he just
Starting point is 00:35:59 cried a bit about it. Oh, Dad! Stacey, thanks for your call. Teresa, what did you break that you couldn't afford? I basically ran my trolley into an entire pallet full of Chardonnay. Yeah. And I had my three children under three, including twins, who I was giving a good old telling off to.
Starting point is 00:36:34 And then I turned around and I rammed it into the pallet and the loudest noise of my entire life. And then silence. Wow. I was back and saved. What kind of wine was that again? Chardonnay. Chardonnay. I that again? Chardonnay. I love it when you say Chardonnay. Oh, no, I've ruined a pallet of Chardonnay.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Many housewives were crying. Oh, my God. For the lack of Chardonnay. How many bottles do you think you wasted? Oh, I'm going to say hundreds. It was just horrendous. They should never have them stacked that many can fall at once. So did they bill you for that or was that insurance for them?
Starting point is 00:37:15 Thank God, no. It had to have been insurance. I kind of ran out of the store with my tail between my legs trying to avoid eye contact with anybody who looked at the film. Wow. Horrible. Brilliant. Amazing, Teresa.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Thank you. Anonymous, you broke something you couldn't afford? Yes. Okay. I was working at an art gallery and I was putting away the last painting of a show and it just so happened that I was concentrating on the bottom corner so much that I didn't hit it on the stairs,
Starting point is 00:37:51 that I actually dragged the top across another painting that was on the wall that happened to be worth around $80,000. Oh! And did you just, like, carry on and then just say you didn't see that? I had a very awkward silence going, shit, I'm working here for the rest of my life. Yeah. All three.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Oh, my God. And did you get in trouble? I was like, thankfully not. It was repairable, But it's just that moment Where you're like oh my goodness That is worth more than everything I own Yeah Wow
Starting point is 00:38:33 Amazing thank you Anonymous Awesome text messages Of things you broke and couldn't afford I want to hear from someone that drove You know the catering truck You know sometimes catering trucks drive into the aeroplanes That's funny when that happens. Imagine doing that.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And like denting an airplane. Yeah, imagine doing that. That happens all the time. Scraping an airplane. I wouldn't see that wing sticking out. I forgot how tall the truck was. I thought I could fit under the wing. Visiting my grandparents as a kid,
Starting point is 00:39:01 my granddad always told us to not touch the key in the wall in the garage. So of course we had to turn that damn key. It made the garage door close on my mum's car, broke off a wing mirror. We got the biggest telling off. And we never liked my grandad again. You did wrong. He told you not to and you did it, so he told you off. That's how discipline works.
Starting point is 00:39:24 He made it enticing, though. You've got to say what happens. Don't just be like, do not touch that. You've got to say something like, the world will end. And then the kids won't touch it. Scare the shit out of them. Yes, yes. My daughter drove off with a petrol hole who's still in her car.
Starting point is 00:39:43 She was 17 and the car was in my name. She'd prepaid for gas. Well, that's all right. They got very confused and then drove away, but then just kept driving. I think they just charge your card for the hose. Do they? Well, they've got your plate. They definitely get in touch.
Starting point is 00:39:59 They've got insurance, right? Get another hose. They might get in touch. It's not my fault. Yeah. In the UK when we were young we were blamed, I was blamed for breaking the bath because water went
Starting point is 00:40:11 all through the house and we lived in an apartment so it went to the house underneath. Oh no. And then there was an electrical fault. Yeah. It wasn't me and I always denied doing it. 20 years later my sister admitted that it was her that caused tens of thousands of pounds of damage
Starting point is 00:40:29 to the place that we lived in. Wow. A lot of siblings wearing it today. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier.

Starting point is 00:41:02 you get your podcasts. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM. Naked and and follow us on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Naked and Afraid, it's a TV show on Discovery. It's got another season, and in this season, not only are they the first ever siblings to enter the challenge, they are identical twins, and they're from New Zealand. Amber and Serena, join us in studio. Good morning. Hello.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Good morning. You guys even sound the same. Do we? Who are you? Were you living in New Zealand when you applied to be on this? We're living in New Zealand but yeah, we didn't apply. They found us. So it was a surprise. That's creepy as.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Hey identical twin sisters want to come and be on the show naked and afraid Can we just run through the synopsis of the show? It's all in the title mate. Naked and afraid So there's survival challenges right and you don't have food, water, shelter or clothes
Starting point is 00:41:59 So you've got to, yeah they dropped you in a remote location in the wilderness. You've got 21 days to survive and you get to choose one survival item each. And at any time, if it gets too hard or you can't survive or you get no food or whatever, you can tap out. Now, can the survival item be a house? It's got to be quite primitive. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Like a knife. What did you guys choose? So I chose a machete And I chose a recurved bow and arrow Oh my god, Candice Ebony Now you say you have to survive So what are the options? You don't survive, you die Or is production there to pick you up
Starting point is 00:42:43 In case you're about to die? I think you either die or you tap out and then you go home. People tap out after a day or a few hours or a week or whatever. And they can actually tap you out. So if you're gonna be like, no, I'm here till the death.
Starting point is 00:43:00 If they see you in a really bad way or medical issues or whatever, they'll tap you out. So you've got an eye dangling out because your sister just shot you with a recurve bow. Are they like, I'm sorry, you've got a... Yeah. They're like, leave me here. It's annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Because they blew the nudity anyway. Yeah. They do. The nakedness goes, like, out the window straight away because you've got so many bigger things to worry about. You've got, like, predators all around. You've got to keep on the edge of your seat the whole time looking out for them.
Starting point is 00:43:28 You're worried about food, about water. Your biggest priority is getting water. It was winter over there so it's colder than winter right now in New Zealand. Are you allowed to make clothes? Yeah, you can make whatever you want but unfortunately for us, being
Starting point is 00:43:44 winter in Africa meant there was no foliage, no leaves, like nothing around to make things out, which also made food a lot harder because we couldn't just forage for food. That was going to be my next question. Where did you film? So what part of Africa?
Starting point is 00:43:58 South Africa. So when you're saying predators, see in my mind we're filming in New Zealand, so I was like a possum. You might fall over a fallen down tree. Yeah. You are talking carnivorous, big-ass mammal predators. Each night, we're sitting there in the dark with nothing.
Starting point is 00:44:16 The only thing separating us from the animals was some sticks. There is hyenas circling us, there's leopards. One night, an elephant came out of nowhere and nearly caught us. A bull elephant too, so it's quite aggressive. So you've got to make sure you've got enough firewood to last the whole night or else things would probably turn pretty ugly. Oh my God. So if you've got the fire going, they stay away.
Starting point is 00:44:37 You're keeping warm, but there's light so they don't. Yeah, it's a deterrent. Fire deters the predators, yeah. I would have had a circle of fire around. We did out every tree in this national park. But it's not just South Africa, right? You went to the Philippines and, like, I think of snakes. No, we were just in South Africa.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Oh, okay. The other people. The show is all around the place, so each time they do an episode, it's a different location. Are the predators fair between different people? I feel like South Africa's quite full on. Yeah, South Africa's definitely full on. I think South Africa might be the worst of them
Starting point is 00:45:13 because some places will be maybe in a rainforest somewhere where there's not any predators at all. So I think we definitely had our work cut out for us. Just being like, if you left your fire for half an hour to die down, you would hear the hyenas like a metre outside your bowl and were cackling away. We all know them from The Lion King too, they're the bad guys. Bonzo, Shenzhen, Ed. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Freaky. So what's your most memorable moment then from shooting? Is there something that's, I mean, that all sounds pretty. Yeah, there's some, yeah, pretty big things. I think for the first eight days, the only thing we had to eat was half a scorpion each. And that half a scorpion was pretty big at the time. Like, it was a few small mouthfuls,
Starting point is 00:46:04 but like, yeah, to get us through with no food, it was amazing. Did you do that thing siblings do? They're like, you've got the bigger half? You cut my pick. Yeah, we've done that. If we had a tape measure, we would have pulled it out. You cut it down long ways because the body doesn't exactly... That's what we've done.
Starting point is 00:46:19 We went long ways. And because they're extremely venomous, you actually have to cut the half of its tail off. So like what you're left with is even smaller. Did you get any training about this kind of how to eat a scorpion or were you just going in blind? We'd done a little bit of research about Africa and what to expect. But yeah, most of our survival skills are just what we've grown up with.
Starting point is 00:46:43 We've always been outdoors and done that kind of thing. But I think that was a pretty tough time going eight days with a mouthful of food. Yeah. And then Serena actually shot an impala, which that was when we were like on cloud nine after that. We just sat up all night eating meat. We just had like a jerky. A meat party.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Wait a minute, where did you grow up? You're like, oh, we learned all these survival skills. Yeah, so we killed an antelope thing. And then we made beef jerky and we ate meat all night. Whereabouts in New Zealand did you? We're just from Waiuku, so about an hour south there. Oh yeah, but that's rough as cut. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:47:20 We grew up rural. We definitely grew up on the farm in the outdoor line. We hunted all our lives. Hey, the Glenbrook bloody still works down the road. Is it Glenbrook? Yeah, that's not far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Wow. I would have died in the first hour. We have a Facebook page called The Wild Twins, so we do a lot of adventures, hunting, just all that stuff around New Zealand and travelling around the world. So we are used to that sort of stuff, and we did have a lot of skills going into it, survival and hunting skills.
Starting point is 00:47:48 So I think that all helped. Definitely, yeah. Wow. Well, you can see the show Sunday night on Discovery. Thanks so much for coming in. Thanks for having us. Yeah, cheers. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:48:00 This list came out yesterday and it was a real kick in the guts. Kick in the teeth. Well, don't kick us in the guts. I don't was a real kick in the guts. Kick in the teeth. Well, don't kick us in the guts. I don't want to be kicked in the guts. The annual TripAdvisor list of the world's best beaches. No. I don't want to hear. I want to hear about New Zealand's best beaches.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Well, no. New Zealand's best beaches have been put in there. New Zealand and Australia both missing out on the world best beaches list. Really? Yeah. Not a single beach in there for Australia or New Zealand. How many were on this list? Ten. Yeah. Not a single beach in there for Australia or New Zealand. How many were on this list? Ten.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Yeah. So we've got the top ten world beaches and the New Zealand's top five beaches. Whangamata Beach coming in at five. Ohopi Beach, Whakatane at four. Oh, that thing, that's a steep drop off. Well, in the ocean. Yeah, it goes down quick. And there was a bronze whaler shark in there in 1990 when we stayed at the local campground.
Starting point is 00:48:49 I won the jelly eating competition that summer. New Zealand's best beach, again, seven years running, the Mount. But then number three is Pilot Bay. Pilot Bay, like just on the other side. The harbour. Yeah, yuck. Aren't there heaps of jellyfish in there? Oh, there can be. There can be jellyfish anywhere, but it's quite a good, like just on the other side. The harbour, yeah, yuck. Aren't there heaps of jellyfish in there? Oh, there can be, but there can be jellyfish anywhere,
Starting point is 00:49:06 but it's quite a good, like, calm option. Yeah, right. You can just kind of float out there and swim and it's just chill. Yeah, Piha Beach is the second favourite beach. No. But the thing is, because it's TripAdvisor. That whole list needs a rejig. Because it's TripAdvisor, it's where people visit the most.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Ah, right. So your Bay of Islands. Kaiteri,Advisor, it's where people visit the most. Ah, right. So your Bay of Islands. Kaiteri, you know, Kaiteri. Kaiteri. Your Bay of Islands, those beaches missing out. Like the beaches in the far north
Starting point is 00:49:32 are just beautiful. Oh my God, yeah. The top five are probably all up there. Have you tried to swim in Piha? Very dangerous. And that's black sand. It's very hot.
Starting point is 00:49:38 No, no, no. Yeah, motorway is better than Piha because you can drive on it. It's good fun. Yeah, right. Well, the world's best beaches are number one, as in Brazil. No, we said we're not
Starting point is 00:49:49 talking about them. We can't go to them. Did you start at number one? Also, that shouldn't be at number one because Brazil is absolutely riddled with the vid. Well, all of these countries are riddled with the vid, I think. Right. Most of them anyway, yeah. But we won't go through that list.
Starting point is 00:50:05 But we won't go through that list of your COVID-free countries. Yeah, well, we can't go to any anyway, so let's not delve into that list. Okay. It's very depressing. On our beautiful beaches. We do have lovely beaches. We do. Yeah, and that seems like Tauranga's hogging there.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Yeah, right. Two for the mountain area. Yeah. Yeah, they should only get one. And there was nothing from Abel Tasman on there. No, nothing. Two for the Mount area. Yeah. Yeah, they should only get one. And there was nothing from Abel Tasman on there. No, nothing. Oh, well, that's rubbish then. That's rubbish-less.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Well, they should break it down and do like a south and north. Yeah. Do you think? I think so. Or not just take it on the most like... Visited. Visited. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:41 That doesn't mean the best because people might be going to Mount Maunganui for a Copenhagen cone. They might not even go near the beach. They might go up the mount, get a Copenhagen cone, hit the hot pools and not even go for a swim. Not even touch sand. No. But you go to Matauri Bay up north, you're going for one.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Sorry, I'm passionate on this. I can tell. You're going for a swim. Yeah. Okay. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. ZM, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan,
Starting point is 00:51:09 St. John, Roses. Six minutes away from eight. It's amazing they've got time to release music. Or the ambulance driving. Pass off, dad jokes. Oh, God. No, I'm too tired.
Starting point is 00:51:24 It made me angry. That tired. It made me angry. That joke has made me angry. Dad. GTFO. Stay tuned for the fire service's new song coming up after. They're not doing a calendar. I mean, the fire service has got the calendar and now St John's paramedics have got a song.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Wow. Jeez. Last night. We've spent too much time together over the past 24, this whole week. We have. Good fun. Last night we had Bangers Bingo and we had dinner together beforehand. We did, yes.
Starting point is 00:51:55 And Fletch made somewhat of an admission. What were you talking about? We were eating. I think because I think it started with my cat has been coming into the shower. Oh, yeah. Because it's like an open shower.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Yeah. And he's very fascinated by water at the moment. All things water. The tap, the toilet, his bowl, everything.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Yeah, well, thanks for listing water. God, one day you guys are familiar with the sea? Beaches. Beaches. Well, that's the sea, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:52:31 The water at the beaches. Did you know that? The water at the beaches is the sea? Yeah, thank you. At least I didn't list things that involve water in everybody's house. So it was at that point that you said you do leave the bathroom door open all the time.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Yes. Well, the thing is, in my apartment, I live alone. And you, people could not believe, or about half the table last night, couldn't believe that when I go to the toilet, I just leave the door open. When I have a shower, I just leave the door open. Because I live alone. No one, unless people are staying at my house, like I've got friends in the spare, I'll shut the door.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Or you've got friends over, you're having drinks, shut the door. But when you're by yourself, you don't need to. I didn't have a problem with the showering. I just never shut the door when we have a shower. That's not a problem. It's when you go to the toilet, you don't shut the door. That should be more of a problem.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Why? Because the condensation will leave the bathroom and moisture will enter the living space. Well, speaking of leaving the bathroom, that was my problem. If you go to number twos, you're like sending that throughout your house. No, I've got a fan.
Starting point is 00:53:34 There's a fan. Shut the door. And I've got an eau de toilette. Ah, lovely. Yeah, it's a real yuck one. It's free. Got it free ages ago. I'm home alone.
Starting point is 00:53:42 The very rare occasion that I'm home alone and I need a poop, I'll poop with the door open. Yeah, it's the way to go. Because if you lock the door, if you're in there and then something happens and you die,
Starting point is 00:53:51 they're going to have to come and bust down the door. Yeah. Whereas if they just walk in and they see you dead on the ground, they'll be like, I understand what's happening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:58 And then the locksmith doesn't have to get caught to replace the broken lock from when they kicked your door down. I think there's a little pinhole. You just pop that thing in. That's how you get into the... Oh, no one told me.
Starting point is 00:54:09 I'm blocking that up. I don't want anyone poking a pinhole to get in. Knowing that your cat too has a penchant for water and for coming to hang out with you when you're going to the toilet. We've seen it on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Oh, mate. Wait till you have kids. Yeah, shut the door. You won't ever be able to go to the toilet by yourself. Shut the door. Mom, Dad, can I come in? No.
Starting point is 00:54:31 No, I'm pooping. You see me poop all the time. Yeah, because you do it in your pants and I have to clean it up. I just want a moment's peace. What are you doing in there? I don't. Mom says you're taking too long. You do take too long Oh god
Starting point is 00:54:45 You do take too long in the bathroom I'm not It's my escape I need someone on my side though Because producer Anya was the same She was quite disgusted by this You were like really horrified that I did this This is so foul
Starting point is 00:54:59 But if you live by yourself in an apartment You would not shut the door I guarantee it What about future you? Okay so you do your yourself in an apartment, you would not shut the door. I guarantee it. What about future you? Okay, so you do your business in your bathroom, and then future you goes back out to the couch to watch telly. And then you think, oh, heck, what's that little odour? No, because I'll take care of that with my odour toilette.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And the extractor fan. And your bathroom is like the first thing someone gets greeted with when they come to your house. So, like, what if you get a visitor, an unexpected visitor? I'll put the fan on and burn a candle. I've got a delicious Akoya candle. Are you just going to say, wait there, hang on. I've just got to prep the house because I've shat in the door.
Starting point is 00:55:36 You realise that even if you shut the door, you still have to leave and a little bit of smell will get out. And under the door, the poo particles go under the door gap. How big is your gap? Everybody poops and it stinks. That's life. That doesn't mean that I want to come to your house and be greeted with it. I'd be stoked if I lived in Fletcher's place and I took a poo and the smell travelled to his couch
Starting point is 00:55:57 because it's quite a way. It's the bathrooms down the west wing, Megan. It's tucked around the corner of the apartment. You'd call for the butler to shut one of the doors. So we asked on our Instagram this morning, and bear this in mind, Megan, Anya, thousands of votes. Do you leave the bathroom door open when you're doing your business home alone?
Starting point is 00:56:17 74% of people said yes. That's just so, that just blows my mind. Somebody said if's so gross If they shut the door When they're home alone The dogs and the cats Just scratch at it So they just leave it open
Starting point is 00:56:31 And when the dog Will bring a ball in They'll just kick a ball Because the dog Likes to sit on my lap So I have to shut the door as well Because I'm like That's not happening
Starting point is 00:56:38 No not when you're Doing your business You don't want the dog To jump up and a leg goes Literally It falls down the toilet It could be like Other side of the house And will come running When they know You don't want the dog to jump up and a leg goes... Literally, it could be other side of the house and will come running
Starting point is 00:56:47 when they know you're going into the toilet. So, like, have to shut the door. He's a perv. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Coming up on the show, Vaughan, you'd like to bring in a new segment, a newish segment. It's a segment we did
Starting point is 00:57:03 a couple of three weeks ago. Look, I don't know. It was sometime. It was definitely 2020. Times are blue in 2020. It really is. Times are construct, man. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And we're only all in it because we agreed to it, bro. Have you been doing mushrooms with Post Malone and Joe Rogan? Yeah. So there's a three and a half hour Joe Rogan podcast with Post Malone that they did high on mushrooms. So there you go. If you've got three and a half hours to burn this weekend, I'm going to need someone to break that down.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Yeah, I'm going to need someone to do a highlights, a five minute highlights of that. Yeah, but there's no way I'm going to deal with that. Recap situation. So this is a segment coming up. Yeah. Do you want to give it somewhat of a tease? It's a slight change.
Starting point is 00:57:50 It's got a sing-along intro. It's got a sing-along intro. Okay. And it's just a slight change on one that we did a few weeks ago, but it's different. Okay. And it's Friday, so. Okay, so just deal with it.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Shut up and take it. Okay. Friday Flashback. I did a focus group and that's how listeners like to be talked to. Shut up and take it. Okay, great. Megan, it's been a real struggle behind the scenes for you to pick a song today. You're struggling.
Starting point is 00:58:20 It's been a long week, hasn't it? But this song is a power ballad. Okay. So, I mean, not a conventional banger, but one that builds to a crescendo. And then we can all like... We can definitely sing along. It's a car sing-along, isn't it? It definitely is.
Starting point is 00:58:37 In fact, the song was written in the car. The melody came to the person in the car. And you know what? I don't think I'll ever forgive her for not singing this at her concert. She didn't. Remember that? That's right. No, she didn't.
Starting point is 00:58:49 She didn't. She's like, I'm all different now. I'm growing up. It's one of her best. So this is from 2009. And it was for the Hannah Montana movie. A classic. A classic.
Starting point is 00:59:02 A classic. I think it goes All time It goes Gone with the wind Yeah Citizen Kane Yep

Keep the faith, keep your faith Great way to start a Friday. That's a jam. Someone said, tuned from a 24-year-old man. Someone said, well, that was poo.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Worst choice. Maybe we'll just leave Friday flashbacks to Vaughn from now on. And Fletch. No, we're out of Fletch. What's this for? I mean, if you want something
Starting point is 01:03:17 from the 70s, sure. Somebody said, well, give the people what they want. I was in such a bad mood this morning and now I feel so much better. Somebody else said,
Starting point is 01:03:24 I needed this. I just lost my job. Oh, dude. Well, it's worth it. Just for that person. That was for you. I thought you were saying it was worth losing your job for. No.
Starting point is 01:03:34 You don't have to. I've still got mine, but I heard it. But for how long? Who knows? It's the curse. Today, I'm not sure. No. What I'm about to do is going to definitely secure me
Starting point is 01:03:46 a long-term employment contract. Because I've had some correspondents last time we did this, people really liked it. But last time, it was a little bit different. It was, where'd you get your pussycat? But today, it is... Hit it. How'd you name your pussycat?
Starting point is 01:04:09 Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Is it really necessary to come in so hot? Yeah, you did come in quite hot. Otherwise, is there any point? So, this is kind of born from the fact last time we did this, people love telling stories about their cats. Like when we did this last time, it went crazy. Yeah, where'd you get your pussycat?
Starting point is 01:04:29 Interesting stories about how you came across what is now your cat. Yeah, like you wouldn't think it would work because it's so stupid. It worked. Well, I don't know if this will work again. But today we want to know, how'd you name your pussycat? Because I've been asked, I think people, because people don't want to ask you because they're scared to, but they asked why your cat has a military title. Major Murray Fluffington.
Starting point is 01:04:53 I don't know, I just asked. I did, eh? Because Major was one of the options, so was Murray. And then I just put it all together. You can't be like Major Murray, you've got to have a last name because you say like, whenever there's a military title, you say the whole bit. Yeah. So Major Murray Fluffington.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Technically, his name's illegal in New Zealand, but. Why is it illegal? Because you can't give it a title. Oh, that's children. Yeah. Is it illegal to have, like, military medals that aren't yours or something? Or wear them and say you got them? It's illegal to, yeah, pretend.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Oh, God. Because I had an Anzac Day costume for Major Murray Fluffington, so I'll put that out the window. Unless he stormed the beaches of Willapilly. He doesn't deserve them, and rightly so. If he didn't climb Chinook Bear. I recently went to Papa World War I. Oh, with the big people!
Starting point is 01:05:39 That's so great, eh? The Chinook Bear. What a bloody battle that was. That did not look like fun. No, shit no. At all. Good people. Anyway, we're not talking about Anzacs. They get a day, don't they?
Starting point is 01:05:51 They do, yeah. And then we celebrate them the rest of the year. But we're talking, how do you name your pussycat? So in this segment, we need you to call us on 0800-DIALS-AT-M. And then Vaughan sings the stupid song. Yeah. And then you tell us the great story behind the name of your pussycat.
Starting point is 01:06:07 If you've got an unusual cat. And you know, like, you know if your cat's got one of these names because you are constantly explaining it to people when they meet your cat. Yeah. Do you sing the intro out? I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:06:22 Yeah, because they'd want that. Oh, why did you ask? So you can call us now or text in to play the game. How do you name your pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Meow. The pinnacle of radio, this competition. All right, give us a call.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Hit it. Hit it. Oh, this competition. All right. Give us a call. Hit it. Hit it. Oh, you want it right now. Give the people what they want now. How'd you get your pussycat? Off the back of how'd you get your pussycat. Yeah. How'd you get your pussycat?
Starting point is 01:07:02 Which is where we heard about how you acquired your cat. Yeah. Now we want to know how you named it. So is this a finale? Who knows? Where?
Starting point is 01:07:13 How? What? I reckon we could, do you know what we could do? I saw a guy walking his three-legged dog the other day. You could do
Starting point is 01:07:20 How Many Legs Your Pussycat Got? Where do you take your pussycat? Yes! Yes! Oh my God! No do you take your pussycat? Yes! Yes! Oh my god! No, no, no! Yes!
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yes! Like people that take their cats on adventures because purely they're, you know, traditionally they're a home-based animal. They don't,
Starting point is 01:07:36 famously they're not going anywhere. Write that down, producer Arnie. I'm so upset with myself. And we should also do how many legs does your pussycat have
Starting point is 01:07:44 because there'll be some. It's got to fit in with the syllables at least. It would be like your pussycat's like weird thing. Like, I'll have to work on the word. Okay. This has got legs is what you're saying. Infinite legs this evening. Well, they actually both get different.
Starting point is 01:08:02 How's your pussycat different? How's your pussycat a freak? How's your pussy cat a freak? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. All right, we welcome. Let's play first. Courtney, good morning. Morning.
Starting point is 01:08:14 No, not every time. Yes, every time. Every time. How do you name your pussy cat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, meow. Sorry, Courtney. Morning. Morning. Morning.
Starting point is 01:08:27 So my cat's name is McFlaggishmagger. What? What did you say? Mc... McFlaggishmagger. I'm scared to ask. Yeah, I've already checked the story. Has this been pre-approved?
Starting point is 01:08:40 Yeah, okay, it's been pre-approved. How did you get that name, Courtney? I was actually away. She was a kitten off my cat, Lucy, and my sisters decided to keep that one kitten and name her McFluggishmugger. I came back thinking, okay, well, this is a bit weird, but my father had taken her and her mother to the vet
Starting point is 01:08:59 to stop the breeding system from working, thinking that Mac was actually a boy, and then found out, thinking that Mac was actually a boy, and then found out, well, Mac was actually a girl. So she's converted from McFlaggishmagger to Mac. And that doesn't explain McFlaggishmagger. McFlaggishmagger. Thank you, Courtney. This is what you asked for, can I just say.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Amy, good morning. Morning. Okay, again, here we go. what you asked for, can I just say? Amy, good morning. Morning. Okay, again, here we go. And go. How'd you name your pussy cat? Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. My cat's name was Griffins because he wasn't sick, so he had ginger nuts.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Yes! That is good. That is good stuff. That is what this segment is all about. Olive, good morning. Short, sharp. She punched in. She punched out.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Wait a minute. Olive. Olive. You'll be told when to speak. Wait there, Olive. Hold on, Olive. Hold on. Shush your mouth.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Wait a minute. Here we go. How do you do, you pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, Olive. Okay, I'm ready to go now. Okay. My cat's name is Porridge. Oh, that's so cute.
Starting point is 01:10:16 And he's got a really interesting life story. When I was 12 years old, my parents bought me this kitten who I was obsessed with. Absolutely lived by him. And then he died two weeks later, heartbroken, distraught, all of the emotions in one. And then my mum bought home porridge because he looked exactly the same. And I was like, this is so insensitive, Mum.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Like, I'm heartbroken. You can't do this to me. And he just, he looks like a bowl of porridge. That's really all there is to it. We get guests that come over and they're like, oh my God, your cat's so cute. What's its name? It's porridge.
Starting point is 01:10:51 But don't be mean to him. I feel like he gets a bit shy about it. It's a great name for a cat. She can be like, porridge, porridge. It's important to hear your cat's name can be called in a hyper choice. It is. Sarah, good morning. Thank you, Olive. Sarah. good morning. Thank you, Olive.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Sarah. Good morning. Welcome to How'd You Name? No, no, no, no. You don't introduce it. You let the song do the work for you. He hates this. How'd you name your pussycat?
Starting point is 01:11:18 Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sarah. So it's my friend's cat and they called it Tickle My. Okay. Tickle My. Yep. No. I see. I see.
Starting point is 01:11:34 Pussy cat. Oh, yeah. Right. Okay. Wow. That's quite. It's going to be one to explain to the kids one day. It is.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Nicola, good morning. Morning. All right. Nicola, good morning. Morning. All right, here we go. How'd you name your pussy cat? Whoa, whoa, Nicola. Now it's got their names on the end. See, it's an evolving segment. Megan's face says it all.
Starting point is 01:12:00 She hates it. Nicola. My cat's name was Gillette, and it was because when he was a kitten, he just about got run over, so it was like a close shave. Oh, my God. That's funny.
Starting point is 01:12:13 That's great. Brilliant. Oh, now you're laughing, Megan. There's so many. So great. Thank you, Nicola. I was going to call her Gillette. These are some text messages for,
Starting point is 01:12:25 how do you know your pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time for texts. We've got Scott because he had one eye, so it's like Scott one eye. Oh, yeah. Like Scott no mates. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:36 That was my brother's name. Scott no mates. Scott no mates. Somebody else said, ours is called King because we found him behind Burger King. He was meowing behind Burger King. Our cat's name is Trunk because he has truncular obesity. Do you know what that is?
Starting point is 01:12:54 That sounds like that's a nickname. From birth? From birth. Oh, okay. No, no, no. It sounds like more of a nickname. Our cat's grey and has got an M on her head, so we called her Macy Grey. Oh, I love that.
Starting point is 01:13:05 That's good. That's good. Our kitten is Costa because when we got it, it was free, but then it needed a whole lot of treatments because it was sick, and it cost a lot of money. So that's why it's Costa. Okay. Our cat's name is Sixteen.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I got him for my 16th birthday. He lived for 16 years. Oh, wow. Whoa. Named our cat Ken. So the other neighbourhood cats would think he was tough and it worked a treat. Ken was tough.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Okay. We found two abandoned kittens in our hangar at the Christchurch helicopters and named them after our helicopters. Huey was after a Hughes 500. A squirrel. Noy was after a Hughes 500. And Squirrel. No, I was thinking Squirrel too.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Only because it's the only helicopter I know of. Chinook. Robinson. No one's got just a Chinook hanging around. That's an unrealistic. We might need to move some logs or a tank. You don't know that. The New Zealand Armed Forces, they might have it.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Do the New Zealand Armed Forces have a Chinook? No, they don't have a Chinook. Are there any Chinooks? Black Hawk. Is that a helicopter? Yeah, that's a helicopter. Yeah, Black Hawk Down. Black Hawk Down.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Robinson. That's a cute little one. Someone said, our cat's called Toast because when we first got him, he smelled like burnt toast. What was the other helicopter? You didn't tell us about the helicopter. You didn't tell us about the helicopter. Cabby, after a cabri. Well, I didn't know that helicopter.
Starting point is 01:14:23 It's stupid. I thought I did cover both helicopters. Do they take the cats up in the helicopters? Because they could be a shoo-in for the next segment. For the next segment of where'd you take your pussycat? I hope they do. My cat was named Nunu's after the Teletubbies vacuum cleaner because she used to eat everything.
Starting point is 01:14:42 I remember Nunu's. My cat's name is Allie, which is short for elephant because it was a really heavy footed cat. It would stomp everywhere and you could hear him. Our grey kitten is called Ash. Double meaning because he looks like he's covered in ash.
Starting point is 01:14:59 And also named after Dr. Ashley Bloomfield because we got him during lockdown. Oh yes. Thank you for your text messages. What another raging success. Yes. And also named after Dr. Ashley Bloomfield because we got him drunk. Oh, yes. That's cute. Thank you for your text messages. What another raging success. Yes. How'd you name your pussycat?
Starting point is 01:15:11 Join us sometime in the future for Where'd You Take Your Pussycat? Don't go anywhere. Fact of the Day is next. It's our 50K Fact of the Day. Flesh, fawn and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Fact of the Day. Dayletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Fact of the Day.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Day, day, day, day. Today's Fact of the Day is that the song that gave us the term mullet, which then labelled the haircut, was on the Clueless soundtrack. Huh. Now, pay attention to this clue because it is our 50K fact of the day. And thanks to Save My Bacon,
Starting point is 01:15:57 a safe place to borrow money online, your chance to win your share of $50,000 at midday today with Georgia, $500 if you can answer a question about this fact of the day. Yeah, so Clueless, the Alicia Silverstone movie, 1995, a classic. Yeah. You would say?
Starting point is 01:16:13 I've never seen it, but absolute classic. What? Paul Rudd's in it, eh? Paul Rudd's in it, and he looks exactly the same then as he does now. I know, he doesn't age that man, does he? He's not ageing at the normal speed anyway. But it was a cracker of a soundtrack, really encapsulating the 90s as he does now. Yeah. I know he doesn't age that man, does he? He's not aging at the normal speed anyway. No. But it was a cracker of a soundtrack,
Starting point is 01:16:27 really encapsulating the 90s there. Okay. Coolio. He's on it. Okay. But it's not his song. Right. It's this song from the Beastie Boys
Starting point is 01:16:37 and it's called Mullet Head. Right. And prior... I'm kidding. Prior to this, the mullet was not called the mullet. Really? It didn't have an official name.
Starting point is 01:16:50 The short on the top, long on the back hairdo, it never had a name. So it's named after the Beastie Boys song? Yes. Wow. Mullet head, where they identify the haircut of somebody who they're calling a mullet head, which then that haircut became known as the mullet. More of a mullet head as, you know're calling a mullet head, which then that haircut became known as the mullet.
Starting point is 01:17:07 More of a mullet head as, you know, like a mullet, like a fish, or like he's a mullet. It's just a dull-sounding word. Imagine being responsible for that. Yeah, for the term the mullet. And 1994 that song was released. Can you believe the term mullet is only that old? I thought the word mullet would have dated back to the 20s.
Starting point is 01:17:25 So what would you have called a bogan before that? What would you have called their hairstyle? Well, there was people. Famously, there were bogans before 1994. Yeah. Absolutely. There was a whole bunch of them. And the haircut itself dates back to ancient paintings of the short on the top, long on the back.
Starting point is 01:17:43 Because it kept it out of your face, but it let everyone know that you were quite like powerful and fertile with the long flowing locks at the back. But it never had an official name. And then David Bowie in the 70s sported the hairstyle for the first time at the same press conference where he kind of came out and said, I don't adhere to your normalities of sexuality, man. I'm David
Starting point is 01:18:08 Bowie. I'm Ziggy Stardust. I do what I want. And he had short on the top and long on the back. And then a whole lot of rockers had it in the 70s and the 80s and it really took off. But it wasn't until the 1994 song Mullet Head from the Beastie Boys that the now famous haircut got its
Starting point is 01:18:22 name. In 2010, it was banned in Iran because they thought the mullet was a hairstyle associated to Western invasion. And it was an act of cultural rebellion to have the mud flap. The mud flap. The Hamilton waterfall. The Hamilton, yes. You know, the hockey hair. Yeah. The full waterfall. The Hamilton, yes. You know, the hockey here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:45 The full situation. So today's fact of the day, and remember what you've just learnt, because there'll be a question at 12 o'clock today with Georgia that could win you 500 bucks in the 50K fact of the day. The mullet didn't get its name until 1994 from a Beastie Boys song. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We want to talk about a pharmacy creeper. This happened yesterday and it's more the outcome that has left everyone kind of going, what?
Starting point is 01:19:24 So this happened to a 23 year old woman. She was at the Chemist Warehouse in St. Luke's. It's a shopping mall in Auckland. So she noticed a man following her. She said that he was in every aisle
Starting point is 01:19:40 that we were in. At first I didn't think much of it until we got to the last aisle and I saw him have his phone up against his chest. So I approached him and I said, I know that you're taking photos or videos of me. Let me see. Initially, the man denied it, but then he handed over his phone.
Starting point is 01:19:58 She got him to open the password and went to the gallery and that's when she saw that he had taken photos and videos of her they were close-ups um zoomed in photos like on my face and different parts of my body now so this video went viral uh yesterday executive intern and you saw this video we're speaking about this um you could see his face eh? yeah absolutely because this video wasn't in any of the news
Starting point is 01:20:30 stories I saw last night or today so I feel like they've chosen not to put that up yeah I saw it pop up on a Facebook group and yeah she absolutely approached him and was strong yeah she was incredible and and was strong. Fair enough.
Starting point is 01:20:45 Yeah, she was incredible. And so was she videoing the whole thing and you could see the photos in his phone and stuff? Yeah, so she was holding up his phone and then also like panning up to him and talking to him. What was he saying? He was apologising and saying he didn't mean to and yeah. Awkward. He didn't mean to and yeah. Awkward.
Starting point is 01:21:06 He didn't mean to. Don't quote me on that. Yeah, he was apologising though and saying he shouldn't have done it and whatnot. Right. And so she's taken this to the police, eh? She, well, obviously, yeah, she was complaining to the people at the store saying like, we need to do something about it. The police were called.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Now, this is when everyone is a bit shook. Yep. Because that seems very inappropriate. The police told her they would speak to the man, but they can't take any further action because the man took photos in a public place. Yeah, right. Even though they zoomed in on her body and she didn't give permission, she didn't know what was happening.
Starting point is 01:21:42 Because they're in a public place. He can have these photos? I mean, the video has gone so viral, I'm pretty sure his family will find out. So that's probably a good punishment. But yeah, so I've googled what are the rules and I'm on the
Starting point is 01:22:01 police.gov.nz website and this is an FAQ on their website. What are the rules? And I'm on the police.gov.nz website. Oh, that's nice. And this is an FAQ on their website. What are the rules around taking photos or filming in a public place? Yeah. And it is generally lawful to take photos of people in public places without their consent. So it is, however, not allowed to take photos of people where they expect privacy, such as a public changing room at the pool or a toilet. You know, creeps put up like hidden cameras in toilets.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Obviously, that's illegal. So where you expect privacy, no, but... Wandering around in a mall. However, you can take or publish photos or film people where there is no expectation of privacy, such as a beach, shopping mall, park or other public places. So you can go into someone's house and do it
Starting point is 01:22:49 because you'd expect privacy in your house but if you're at the mall or the beach, even I guess if you're at the beach topless, right? It's a public place. It's a public place. That's crazy, eh? What if my expectations of privacy are everywhere?
Starting point is 01:23:05 If I had a t-shirt that said, I expect privacy. Blue in my face. Everywhere. Yeah. Because there's nothing from stopping the news from making you stop film footage, eh? But they don't show your face. Is that just courtesy? Oh, the smoking one, maybe they do.
Starting point is 01:23:20 They'd have to show faces for smoking. But I know, yeah, they don't have to show you permission but they also don't show your face if they're using your butt for a story while you're walking down the street. Right. But you see when people are like shooting films or like camera crews around, they put up signs everywhere saying you could be
Starting point is 01:23:37 filmed. You know, like being in this area, you are accepting that you could be on camera or they make you sign a form if you're in the background of something. Is that just like a double kind of a safety? Are they just protecting themselves maybe? But they don't have to. Yeah, I wouldn't imagine they have to.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Because you're in a public place so you can be filmed. That's so creepy. That is horrible. Be that in mind next time you're at the pharmacy. And a creepy old man starts taking photos of you. You could hit someone with a pharmacy. Anything. Throw a...
Starting point is 01:24:08 I reckon I could get a bit of speed up on a big thing of multivitamins. Yeah. A big jar of multivitamins. I'd probably go for that. You know those glass jars? Oh, that'd hurt. Yeah, good. But then the pharmacy would probably charge you for that.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Yeah, then you'll get done for assault. Or I'd miss and I'd hit the... The pharmacist. Eau de toilette. Oh, God. I'd smash all those, yeah. I'd throw an eau de toilette. Glass bottle.
Starting point is 01:24:31 Flesh for an Amegan. The podcast. ZM. A farmer, he's out in a soybean field, right? Yeah. And he's like, oh, what's that? That's not a soybean. What is it?
Starting point is 01:24:43 Well, it was quite different to a soybean. Okay. It was a prosthetic leg. Right. Yeah. He said, it's lucky I saw it now because if it had gone to harvest, I would have just run it over with the combine harvester. Oh, okay. So, you know, it just would have been up in there. But it turns out that the leg, the prosthetic leg was lost by a guy called Chris. He's a double amputee and he didn't have one of his legs
Starting point is 01:25:10 properly strapped in when he began his skydive. He was with an instructor. I wouldn't even think about that. What would you be best to leave them on the ground? No, because he said that he should wear his legs. The instructor told him to wear the legs so when they come into land. The legs can take the impact. The guy at the back would have to carry both of their weight,
Starting point is 01:25:36 whereas it could be spread more evenly between him and the prosthetic legs. But when they jumped out, he just saw one of them go. Oh, no. And he's like, that's not good. That's not good. I've lost a leg. Probably not going to find that. Well, because they don't have GPS in them.
Starting point is 01:25:54 They're not like, if you drop your phone, at least you'd have a chance. Yeah, you could use find my phone. Find my phone. Yeah. Find it in the middle of a soybean field. Not find my leg. Probably lucky that it was in a soybean field rather than like donking someone on the head. Yeah, true. That's very true. Leg coming
Starting point is 01:26:08 through your ceiling. Because it's one of those ones the leg to describe the leg it's got like a pole just above the ankle so it's not like a full prosthetic to look like an actual leg like it's one of those ones with like a carbon fibre specially moulded
Starting point is 01:26:24 cup at the top and then it goes to a rigid shaft And then to the foot that sits in the shoe Serious question, but you always see yeah there's that like fabric-y kind of cup That goes over the, how do they attach, how does it like attach? Like do they kind of, is it kind of suction or something? To my very limited knowledge I've seen people having 3D scans taken of it and then there's something moulded or printed to fit it as best as possible.
Starting point is 01:26:49 But then I'd imagine there'd also be a tightening of some sort to... You need to follow Jess Quinn because she goes through her struggles with her leg, putting it on and stuff. But, like, yeah, that suction-y bit goes over top and then I think there's, like, a strapping mechanism to, like, strap it in. So, yeah, obviously then I think there's, like, a strapping mechanism to, like, strap it in. So, yeah, obviously, he didn't connect it, like, properly.
Starting point is 01:27:08 But then, like, the force of when you jump out of it, if you've ever been skydiving, like, it's pretty full on. Just that wind. Well, yeah, because you open your mouth and it goes... So you could see he was wearing shorts when he jumped. Yeah. Wait, so did he get it back? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Oh, that's great. It's been reunited. This farmer's like, I found a leg on the local page, and then the Vermont skydiving was like, we had a guy who lost a leg, and then they connected it all, and yeah, they found the leg.
Starting point is 01:27:37 See, I reckon I'd probably have a little sticker on mine. Please return to. Please return, yeah. Like when you go to a motel, and there's The keys On the key Yeah Saying if found
